[8:40] item C for budget correct?
[8:44] That's correct So you agree that
it's fingerprint it's overtime
[8:50] for police officers So yes it's
not ordinances on the audience.
[8:58] Question to speak to the
item on the consent agenda So
[9:10] hearing were present for
submitting a motion for action
[9:15] to make a motion that
we have 70 U.S. seconds.
[9:21] Motion was such a motion favor.
[9:24] I First item on the
agenda items I do.
[9:32] I want So this is kind of a
follow up to the conversations
[9:42] So I really dive into it So
i'm looking at this budget.
[9:53] So if you're looking
for make a suggestion
[9:56] on potential future
agenda item, first of all.
[10:00] So the floor since 2018, we
have decreased our village
[10:05] rate once, twice, three times.
[10:07] This elderly study for
Six out of the eight
[10:14] that basically seven out of
the eight years including
[10:17] the one that's coming up, would
be it would be an increase
[10:19] So I'm bringing that up is that
we'll or actually decreased
[10:25] our millage rate when the
economy was during the shutdown
[10:30] So I just want to
give you something
[10:32] that we really focused on for at
least around 2023 to about 2025.
[10:39] So many of us on this board
have made many comments
[10:42] that we were doing this
with with anticipation had
[10:46] to potentially have increased in
order to put inflation was down.
[10:51] So we've had 33.4%
inflation since 2006 years.
[10:56] So what that means is that all
cost of goods and everything
[10:59] was expensive So how
we do our business,
[11:02] how we pay people everything
because everybody's
[11:05] all employees.
[11:07] So that's part of
the cost inflation
[11:10] So why bring in the SOP
is because there are so
[11:14] many different areas with your
So you have to vote military
[11:19] But what I'm looking to is some
potential For example there's
[11:25] an increase or there's
an increase on the budget
[11:29] for this year that would
help pay for updated servers
[11:34] to concentrate in
around cyber attacks
[11:37] is becoming a big
issue Thank you.
[11:38] So it have the cyber
attacks so IT departments
[11:43] as we had this is just
an example for always
[11:46] an increase of $70,000.
[11:48] So this is going for and
that means some of the cyber
[11:50] attacks Castleberry are
utilities and the fact,
[11:53] the citizens scouts so
whatever posing here
[11:56] is really hard to set up for
is while millage is currently
[12:04] at its current rate to suspend
commissions pay until we can get
[12:09] it back down and to
sustain that and to freeze
[12:14] or maybe even doing away with
commission during this time
[12:17] period And all I'm asking is
if the city manager maybe could
[12:20] just take a look at what
it looks like compared
[12:22] to the military How does
this factor maybe bring
[12:25] it back to the commission.
[12:27] So are you asking you suspended
what You feel on the military?
[12:35] Correct.
[12:35] OK.
[12:36] Yes.
[12:36] And then to do i don't know
requiring board just to rate
[12:52] anything you do to change.
[12:55] I change your salary You do it
by working increase or decrease
[13:01] It's affected the work So
spending a salary that's
[13:12] a different So maybe
get to what it would
[13:18] look like a comparison Yeah.
[13:21] Just because it's a
temporary millage.
[13:24] Yeah.
[13:24] Yeah Very good.
[13:26] Yeah that's it.
[13:29] Yes I have And I'm
not exactly sure what
[13:34] i'm recommending We do.
[13:36] I guess I want staff to
make a recommendation
[13:39] but we received a communication
from our residents
[13:44] Resident regarding this
was causing property damage
[13:48] And so I went back and I read
the ordinance that was passed
[13:51] in 2017 that created
Castleberry as a sanctuary
[13:56] And I'm not proposing
that we shouldn't
[13:58] be a bird sanctuary anymore
but my understanding
[14:01] is is individuals.
[14:02] Now we're able to file an
insurance claim against cities
[14:05] insurance policy for
their property damage
[14:08] and having an
effect on insurance
[14:10] and is One thing insurance
companies don't like.
[14:12] You to do is file claims.
[14:15] So I don't know if we could just
get a relook at that ordinance
[14:19] to see if there could be any
slight modification perhaps
[14:23] in an instance where there's an
ongoing nuisance we could have
[14:27] several county
capture or relocate
[14:30] or just I don't I don't
know what I'm recommending
[14:34] but if I were the residents
and I was continuing to state
[14:38] property damage and there was
a city ordinance preventing me
[14:41] from having the peaceful
enjoyment of my property,
[14:44] that would be a problem for me.
[14:46] So well, we could
make a discussion.
[14:53] I don't suppose you could
tell from the ordinance copy
[15:02] the drive if you still will
see the first section, which
[15:06] states was because the
residents people Well,
[15:13] we prefer to
protect the peacocks
[15:24] So we responded that the
majority So let's not have that.
[15:39] I don't know what the rest of
the commission wants to be.
[15:53] Are we not concerned about
at all about insurance place
[15:56] and the fact is this
could be an ongoing issue
[15:58] if we continue to
just deactivate it,
[16:02] making sure it's going
to be so we'll just have
[16:10] to see if there's
a company like this
[16:20] because we have a duty to Yes.
[16:23] So so, so much time resolution
resolutions So city is to speak.
[16:52] No question Yes.
[16:57] So Section 4.6 of
the charter it does
[17:01] say that no ordinance
can increase
[17:04] the salary shall
become effective
[17:06] until after the next election.
[17:08] So it's possible
that there could
[17:11] be a decrease for
we're going so we can
[17:19] actually address it further.
[17:21] I'm just looking at we're
looking at different areas
[17:23] where you know, to residents
this again, if this is just
[17:29] ridiculous oh, I
did protect your we
[17:38] actually had to make it is one.
[17:43] So but we also have Two
different things that we feel
[17:46] that we would like to keep on.
[17:47] My to do a village
right to increase
[17:51] the police officers on that
decrease our city average.
[18:02] That's why I just want to
see what it would look like.
[18:06] It appears to decrease that.
[18:12] Yes but I'd just say
thinking about this,
[18:17] does the massive amount I
think really the problem
[18:28] But we're before.
[18:35] So I thought, you know,
this might be entirely.
[18:40] it is what it is
for commissioners.
[18:42] I will be prepared to be
with you on our next meeting
[18:47] but I'm not sure if
this with any of you
[18:50] all just basic budget
revenues for the facilities
[19:02] Budget Workshop was concerned.
[19:05] The public service
was because right.
[19:14] You archaeological
draft unpredictable
[19:20] Sure We still need to the budget
related to the public service.
[19:28] That's franchise fees.
[19:30] Also also we should 42 other.
[19:42] So the budget so given that to
the budget to the general fund
[20:03] to balance you are $300,000.40
so what salaries security city
[20:20] you be so to offset each fund
we'll talk about we can move
[20:37] on a resolution 2635 five you
read that by resolution 26-355,
[20:48] a resolution of the city
commission of the city
[20:51] of Castleberry, Florida

continue to be reliable
[22:19] and financially sound
statements for the city
[22:23] open one, including
this of this process
[22:27] and help us achieve this
important milestone I really
[22:30] appreciated And that coach,
Mr. Andrew Pearson and manager
[22:36] of so our auditing
he's be ready to accept
[22:41] financial help
Thank you very much
[22:50] mr. Mayor of the Commission.
[22:51] Thank you.
[22:51] You.
[22:52] So I'm here to kind of go
over the results of the audit
[22:55] for fiscal year 20
So just starting out,
[23:02] there was a separate letter
provided to the commission I'm
[23:07] going over the items, the key
items here is that the audit
[23:11] adjustments are identified.
[23:13] And this is the direct
result of the finance chief
[23:17] and all that doing just
an excellent job preparing
[23:19] everything for us So starting
off with that deliverables,
[23:23] we start off with the
Independent Auditors Report.
[23:26] So you've got a
for result, which
[23:27] is called unmodified opinion.
[23:29] So once again, a credit
to your financing The next
[23:33] is the Yellow report or
report on internal controls.
[23:37] What's or no findings
inside of internal controls.
[23:40] So once again, an
excellent job by your team.
[23:44] Same thing for your report.
[23:46] Compliance for the
major federal program.
[23:49] So for your friends.
[23:50] Oh, there were no findings
related to the federal Finally,
[23:56] we have two other items that are
required for the floor statutes.
[24:01] So the first is the Salmon
Fish Report That's compliance.
[24:04] And that was also
clean and safe.
[24:07] Management letters, you know,
management letter comments.
[24:09] So that's moving on to kind
of the financial highlights,
[24:16] just some of the things to find
out there's a lot of numbers
[24:19] here and I'm not going to go
through each one individually,
[24:21] but just One of the
things that to know
[24:23] is the unrestricted position.
[24:25] You're in a positive
unrestricted position for both
[24:28] your governmental and business
type activities for fall,
[24:32] and that you have positive
change in that position over
[24:36] or both governmental
business types.
[24:40] Next is the governmental funds.
[24:42] Now, as you see here once again,
you have a positive on a sign
[24:48] balance of 14.4 million.
[24:50] So that's really good.
[24:51] There was a change of change
in balance of a -2.5 million.
[24:56] But if you take a look
here, based on the budget,
[24:59] your budget $5.6
million decrease
[25:02] and you only had a
2.5 million decrease.
[25:05] So that's 3.1 million
difference from the budget
[25:09] in the positive direction.
[25:11] So that's that's
all I have for you.
[25:15] Question so we're just your
thoughts are financial position.
[25:26] We have won the government award
many years in a role because we
[25:31] have a staff Yes I just like
to state for the record,
[25:37] we in My balance, just reminder
during this period committee,
[25:47] I fulfill literature
something like $2 million
[25:51] to complete the work was
funded As we progress So strong
[26:04] improvement things
Three questions,
[26:12] comments So six still subject to
the finance to develop policies
[26:24] and procedures and also
the procedures that make it
[26:28] so we don't have to report
Thank you to all the audience,
[26:38] everyone in the audience wishing
to speak to us 2645 all right.
[26:51] Thank you very close the
portion of the meeting I do
[26:57] have a question I
guess my question is
[27:00] why did you say from September
first through the second one,
[27:05] why.
[27:06] So long So it was not that issue
or auditors, the core of our
[27:19] what's required by the
larger previous firm go
[27:25] through the conversion process
required a more used to first.
[27:39] This is the quickest we
could just talk Sure sure.

Comprehensive Finance Report
[27:59] for fiscal year 20 as presented

[30:36] You know, I requested
the Red light.
[30:38] So I could actually see
what exactly changed.
[30:40] And it really is minimal.
[30:42] Mostly just housekeeping again.
[30:44] So I just appreciate
you taking the time
[30:46] to recognize the
housekeeping needed to occur
[30:48] and getting it
modernized for us.
[30:50] Thank you There should be just
something that I overlooked
[30:55] Hopefully there is something
important to administratively
[31:00] and it's got to be with
these folks maybe 6 or 8.
[31:05] You just mentioned the
government accounting
[31:07] standards for of housing.
[31:10] So we have the ball and one
of the systems they decided
[31:13] the software subscriptions
should be treated
[31:19] absolute minimum threshold for
any software You came to us this
[31:31] that we learned
from our new office.
[31:35] You can so the threshold that
we set a threshold of 50,000
[31:41] on this policy, we only have
to treat significant security
[31:47] software purchases with
this ministry of high level
[31:55] staff to one or
bulk of this policy
[32:00] What we see is pretty rough.
[32:04] So the audience wishes to
speak to resolution 2635 six
[32:22] So you refresh we print
resolution and 26 3586
[32:30] to capitalize the policy is
almost all those in favor.
[32:37] Okay That motion passes and move
side of the agenda The public
[32:47] hearing first reading
before the keys.
[32:52] Oh, I'm sorry Just
speaking your first favor.
[32:58] Ordinance 26 1637 Yes.
[33:06] Ordinance 26-1637.
[33:09] An ordinance of
the City of Casper,
[33:11] Florida Repeal ordinance 40
2-130 and establishing a new
[33:17] search providing for conflict
severability and then effective
[33:21] date of Do you want
to speak to that
[33:25] your department Good evening.
[33:32] This is being
brought forth to you
[33:36] to increase our currency of
$25 per you search to $75.
[33:44] This fee has not been
increased since its inception
[33:47] back in 2000 12.
[33:52] So there is about approximately
an hour's worth of staff time,
[33:56] but it's taken to generate
this report This is done.
[33:59] We received three more
multiple requests every month
[34:04] from various title companies
for this for basically
[34:07] every real estate transaction
that occurs in the city,
[34:10] whether it's resident
or commercial Last year,
[34:16] just click here We processed
815 requests compared
[34:23] to 486 in fiscal year 2011.
[34:27] So there's been a steady
increase each year
[34:29] in the the time to do it.
[34:30] Unfortunately has not decreased
We said so far this fiscal year
[34:37] through August 4th, we've
already processed 737 requests,
[34:42] which means we're
on a trajectory
[34:44] to exceed last year's.
[34:47] It is something that we
have to generate actually
[34:51] a public record to produce
to people, which is why we're
[34:54] able to charge a special
service fee for this
[34:59] And it is not
unreasonable In fact, it
[35:01] is in line with all of our
sister cities in the area
[35:04] right now.
[35:06] I know where springs
charges $80 is
[35:11] right around there as well, 75.
[35:14] So if you have any questions,
please let me know.
[35:17] This is the first rate
that we'll be coming back
[35:19] for our public services So your
questions Audience So anyone
[35:27] in the audience for six weeks?
[35:29] 26, 16 37 six right.

[38:03] to which is 52, 46,
40 $46.49, 60 with.
[38:13] So with that any
questions requested So
[38:25] the answers ordinance

[38:39] closed that portion
motion for action
[38:44] resolution 2630 five seconds.
[38:49] The motion seconded in favor
Those opposed motion passes.
[38:56] No two other items So
we have a presentation
[39:05] for you this evening.
[39:08] Discussion of initiatives
related to the safe streets
[39:11] planning Grant agreement
for special projects,
[39:16] measures to introduce this
presentation Good evening.
[39:25] There are two issues, three
Special projects Manager
[39:28] for public Works Department.
[39:30] This agenda item
requested in consideration
[39:33] to review and discuss efforts
resulting from a recent road
[39:37] safety audit conducted for 36.
[39:40] It will also seek some
feedback on recommend ations
[39:43] that will be submitted.
[39:44] A report to duty to assist with
upcoming roadway improvements
[39:50] that coincide with the recently
awarded 20 grant received
[39:54] from every step, we But first,
I would like to give you
[39:58] a little background to kind of
get you up to speed because it's
[40:01] been a little while
since we talked
[40:03] about this so I'm just going to
step through things real quick.
[40:08] So just because we made a
deal, forget okay, So in 2022,
[40:21] major player, landowner,
local agency partners
[40:23] applied for and received a safe
streets and roads for all grant
[40:28] to develop efficiency
action plans for the region
[40:31] and the agency action
plans As you may be aware,
[40:35] were intended to provide
strategies to eliminate
[40:38] gaps in serious injury crashes
on the region's roadways
[40:44] in 2024.
[40:45] City Commission adopted the
Castleberry Vision Single Action
[40:49] Plan, a resolution 24
DoorDash 3418, which
[40:54] among other valuable
information and action items
[40:58] identified locations
within the city
[41:00] with high number of cities
dangerous crashes with state
[41:05] report 36 being the highest
So following completion
[41:08] of decisions action
plans, Metro Rail endorsed
[41:11] received an additional
six for a funding order
[41:15] to further initiatives The
subsequent City Commission
[41:20] approved an agreement
with Metropolitan
[41:22] to fund a road safety
secret for day six,
[41:26] with the goal of identifying
potential countermeasure
[41:29] strategies to improve
safety measure.
[41:32] Orlando hires officers and
peers to contract with them
[41:36] to facilitate
completion of this work
[41:39] and they will be set
in a second to discuss
[41:43] the methods and efforts they use
to complete the groups to be so.
[41:51] At this time, I would like to
address the city's de defense
[41:58] status for is a
first year to begin
[42:02] the review and the facilitated
discussion that will hopefully
[42:05] lead to project recommendations
for Mayor The Commission
[42:15] needs to solve domestic fears.
[42:17] And I guess was a
few obstacles for 36.
[42:21] So just to give you a little
bit of project background
[42:26] so the existing conditions,
so I'll skip over those just
[42:29] a lot more time for
us to discuss some
[42:31] of the recommendations that talk
about next, what comes after So
[42:37] a little bit about background,
but before we jump on this,
[42:40] just wanted to kind of define
what a road safety audit is
[42:44] The federal Highways defines
it as a formal safety
[42:46] examination of an
existing future
[42:49] by independent types of
searching keyword that we're
[42:54] going to get out of this.
[42:55] What is the law When we did
the road safety audit with out
[42:59] in the field of variety
of disciplines, engineers,
[43:03] planners see.
[43:06] So details of all city
staff was approved,
[43:10] even though the fire
department also really wanted
[43:14] to look at the different
angles, different perspectives
[43:17] to make sure that we're
covering everything
[43:23] so the purpose of this
policy is really to build
[43:26] on previous efforts
efficiency priorities,
[43:28] as you mentioned
earlier, identify
[43:30] some practical solutions steps
towards designing construction
[43:37] So the process,
what we saw so far,
[43:39] we analyze that safety
system, conditions
[43:42] for crash data for data from
transit walk the corridor.
[43:47] We have this part of the
events that you all have.
[43:53] We engage with someone
The commissioners
[43:58] work or president, so that one
we conduct the field review.
[44:03] So far we've developed
preliminary recommendations
[44:05] so far, so what we
want to guess here
[44:08] is some goals What
you've developed.
[44:11] You saw we submit
a report to you
[44:13] to have these
thoughts and one thing
[44:17] what we've got to see them
all come up with some process
[44:21] elements of the
discourse, analysis
[44:23] and provide some space and
recommendations for you
[44:27] to use So a little bit about
the project or direction,
[44:34] although there are some
areas where it goes up 4
[44:38] or 5 miles in this direction.
[44:40] So the cross section does very
varies between 45 miles an hour,
[44:47] miles an hour north and south
of how much in terms of traffic
[44:52] volume between 44,500 and
10,900 vehicles per day 22,000
[45:00] direction, direction So just
a little bit about the safety
[45:07] numbers between 2021 and
2025, there roughly 13
[45:12] crashes almost equal for 606.
[45:17] Out of those 18
involve somebody being
[45:20] killed or severely injured.
[45:21] So i out of those 18, five
were fatal crashes and 13
[45:29] more serious injury crashes.
[45:30] So we're having serious injury.
[45:32] Those crashes that the people
were not able to walk away.
[45:35] So these either loss of
limb or their license
[45:40] seriously altered that
crash from looking at it
[45:46] from the modal
standpoint, there were
[45:49] 19 crashes 25 crashes and
21 motorcycle crashes Now,
[45:53] if you read this map
on the right, four out
[45:56] of the five fatal
crashes involve
[45:58] somebody outside of people.
[46:00] So we wanted to make sure that
when we were looking at this
[46:03] for when we looked at that,
we're really thinking about how
[46:06] people outside of the vehicle
are able to move safely
[46:09] from here The level
of traffic stress
[46:14] was another metric that we used.
[46:16] This is one of the uses
Evaluate how comfortable
[46:21] people walking or
biking can also traverse
[46:27] such a long range cycle.
[46:28] If feel comfortable walking
for for very little comfort.
[46:33] People often shy away from
the goal As you can see,
[46:37] we have a levels of
traffic stress three
[46:41] and above throughout the floor.
[46:42] So tells us that people
really don't feel comfortable
[46:45] walking Typically,
when we design this,
[46:51] we're trying to
get to below also
[46:55] to have access to and on below
is what we want to design for.
[46:59] Similarly for bicycles, it was
a level traffic trucks for 40
[47:03] or so not necessarily
comfortable for the bike
[47:09] just a couple of
pictures that we
[47:11] did as I mentioned, was a
motorist agency that went out
[47:18] there Here you'll notice there
was a big drop off along a lot
[47:24] of segments a lot of portions
of the corridor that don't have
[47:28] handrail or pedestrian real.
[47:29] So this presents a severe
risk for people that
[47:33] might have visual
disabilities or fall into
[47:35] or even saw a lot of
fights on the sidewalk
[47:38] So any mistake
people can actually
[47:41] fall into that dish You
do see a lot of things
[47:46] here from what we out there,
utility poles traffic evidence.
[47:51] So there was a lot
of evidence of people
[47:54] hitting things along and about.
[47:58] They also went out
there at night Talk
[48:01] about street lights One
of the things I noticed
[48:04] is that the roadway itself does
provide some somewhat sufficient
[48:08] lighting, but when you
get to the sidewalk,
[48:10] if there's not a private
property that does provide
[48:15] a lighting for the sidewalk,
there is not So cars typically
[48:21] have enough lighting, but
the pedestrians don't So here
[48:26] for the recommendations I
noticed quarters of some that
[48:32] have been studied quite
a bit here is just
[48:35] show you project for us to
spend a little time on it.
[48:42] One of the things that
I want to mention I
[48:44] know there still, I think the
for the goals the project.
[48:48] So the goals with project to
use has going on right now
[48:52] and the idea was to supplement
some of the recommendations that
[48:56] are in the goals with project.
[48:57] So with some other portal ride
recommendations and some more
[49:01] specific ones also So with
part of the goals of project
[49:06] and reconfiguring delays to be
12 foot outside, inside lanes,
[49:12] updating some
locations for perhaps
[49:16] some needs and standards modify
some pedestrian clearance So
[49:23] in section.
[49:23] I think more on the
some small of the four
[49:29] So in addition to
those recommendations,
[49:32] we wanted to look at
this in three buckets.
[49:34] The first one was
trying to do six poles.
[49:37] So what we mean by those is
if you have different trouble,
[49:42] pass the consequence along the
corridor where there's a vehicle
[49:45] and another vehicle or vehicle.
[49:47] And so that's the we wanted to
try to remove that exposure,
[49:51] minimizing as much as
possible of the other bucket,
[49:54] minimizing this.
[49:55] So giving us a level
exposure of what can we do.
[49:59] So minimize the likelihood of
somebody getting into a crash
[50:03] And the last one, what you see
on the slide is minimizing,
[50:07] lowering the severity.
[50:08] So if and when that
happens can we make it
[50:11] that everybody walks away?
[50:13] We know that crashes are
not necessarily unavoidable,
[50:15] but if that crash happens,
how do we minimize or any
[50:18] of the people that are so
on the corridors so far,
[50:24] we know that there's a shorter
service plan between 1792.
[50:28] We have the drive we wanted
to another shared use path
[50:34] either on one side or
both sides on the street
[50:37] to make that pedestrian and
bicycle environment a little bit
[50:41] more comfortable and safer off.
[50:44] We've already spoken to links
and they've agreed in theory.
[50:51] So combine and relocate bus
stops where we have cross.
[50:56] So we want to make sure that
where people are getting off
[50:59] the bus, that they don't
just get on the bus
[51:01] and just cross as
they get off So
[51:03] it's kind of sort of where we
want to place minimizing risk.
[51:08] I mentioned earlier having
pedestrians really drop off
[51:11] hazards once slight modification
that we're recommending instead
[51:17] of the 12 foot lanes and
11 foot outside lane,
[51:20] we would recommend an 11
foot outside lane, which
[51:22] is what's before the transit.
[51:24] And it's ten, 15 slightly.
[51:25] So kind of minimize
minimizing that pavement
[51:28] with so minimizing exposure.
[51:31] A lot but also making a
little bit less comfortable
[51:34] for people to to go faster
to see the 80 day assessment
[51:41] recommendations for patients We
recommend going to assessments
[51:48] throughout the entire floor and
see some of those deficiencies
[51:51] that we saw out there.
[51:52] And then again,
evaluating and investments
[51:57] feel like as needed
throughout the floor for that
[52:00] of the sidewalks So
on the severity side,
[52:05] installing guardrail in the
fall to fix the objects,
[52:08] look at located
within the chairs.
[52:09] So if somebody runs off the
road that they hit a guardrail.
[52:13] So the utility for so wherever
feasible and again, that
[52:18] takes a little bit more studying
at this level within one,
[52:22] we wanted to get you to look
into it so that we can see some
[52:28] of those objects
So the second one
[52:31] is implementing the first move.
[52:33] So what that is is
with technology,
[52:35] this really happens
late at night time
[52:39] when there's less
traffic People tend
[52:41] to speed a lot more The main
line typically has between just
[52:46] largely on the side streets
we get the green on the left
[52:50] is a car a couple on
side streets would
[52:53] just technology does
is somebody is going
[52:57] to speed above the
speed limit it will
[52:59] get them the rest of the stuff.
[53:01] So for some to slow down cut off
So we're recommending consider
[53:09] technology this for
those The other one
[53:15] is to change the
target speed, design
[53:17] speed and forces speed
to 40 miles an hour
[53:19] for the entire corner.
[53:21] So the thought
behind that one was
[53:23] want to have something that's
a little bit more predictable.
[53:26] Some areas that are 45,
some areas that a 40 line
[53:30] recommendation, but
more importantly
[53:32] we realize that additionally
this hit at 45 or 50 miles
[53:36] an hour the outcomes
are to be more severe
[53:40] So we wanted to figure
out what was the speed
[53:43] still provides a certain
level of protection
[53:46] or reduces the severity
of those crashes,
[53:49] but still maintain
some level of mobility.
[53:52] So 40 is what we felt was
something that you might find
[53:55] palatable without
a lot of pushback
[53:59] for that time in the entire
war to coordinate the signal up
[54:05] to the new target,
the posted speed So
[54:06] what that means
is we'll have size
[54:09] of tell drivers to
five just for the speed
[54:12] because the portal is 40 miles.
[54:15] So what happens is the 40 miles
an hour you'll get rough So fast
[54:22] drivers the motor driver forces
The other thing was to evaluate
[54:27] the ability of like, this takes
a little bit more on the side
[54:32] with the cyclists for 48
2020s so year for this
[54:38] and you missed that signal.
[54:40] You have to wait for those three
minutes before you give you
[54:43] So we wanted to see if there
was another way to get some.
[54:46] If you cycle makes a
little bit slower sometimes
[54:49] you have some more will
have slight limits to get
[54:53] people to wait for
that instead of just
[54:57] taking you go that one off.
[55:01] Before I get into the
specific recommendations,
[55:03] I want to just pause for second
to see if anybody has questions
[55:06] comments, feedback before I do
that i'm for 36 specifically,
[55:13] but there are roads
that I drive on that.
[55:16] I sometimes feel like if an 18
wheeler early bus or something
[55:20] is coming up alongside me, I
feel like you're practically
[55:22] in my late So do you know
how you those things are
[55:27] and how that fits in?
[55:29] I and so why let me
talk about the list.
[55:33] Most of the length
bus or an 18 wheeler
[55:36] or just any of those massive
things that feel like they're
[55:38] encroaching upon my life.
[55:39] I'm sure they're not, but
they feel like they are So
[55:42] for I can't speak for
those because I just don't
[55:46] specifically look for 36 of
usually the bus with the mirrors
[55:51] on almost Right.
[55:54] So that's why they require
11ft on the outside lane,
[55:56] which is where the
force typically travels.
[55:58] Appreciate it.
[55:59] Says.
[55:59] So if you look at most design
manuals of Florida Design, Metro
[56:04] specifically, you'll
see that they allow
[56:06] ten foot lanes on the inside
and on the outside of the lane
[56:11] on the outside, when
transit is present
[56:13] is required because
oftentimes buses
[56:18] inside having
essentially the most
[56:20] cars So typically have a
little installing six circuit.
[56:34] You have two buses to
get away because they're
[56:41] coming to the street.
[56:43] So they're going to and for
36 right now certain sections
[56:54] they are 48 for
lights that if it's
[56:58] a corridor like the
buses that's also
[57:04] the way that the buses stops.
[57:07] So based on that, they're
going to look like.
[57:10] So if they get to one
of their sections,
[57:12] they have to go to travel 11.
[57:18] I understand that the 11 foot
to ten, no say, oh, no no.
[57:24] The is not the travel
space I'm talking
[57:30] about the ones the
what's this study
[57:37] out 36 I like that portion.
[57:40] So yes So the turn is
maybe always is also.
[57:48] But what I'm recommending is
for so awesome the lane stays
[57:55] the way it is, which is
literally the 11 foot lane
[57:57] is the plaintiff's vehicle.
[58:00] So that's one of
my memories right?
[58:07] So five inches of.
[58:13] So I was talking about the bus.
[58:14] I don't know I just love
for like close to i,
[58:24] I drive a fairly large vehicle
I'm hypersensitive to it.
[58:27] But it just sometimes
I feel like,
[58:29] oh my gosh, which makes me want
to swerve over a little bit,
[58:32] you know So I am in
favor vitalized by us
[58:38] And that's typically the idea
is to just do the feel a little
[58:42] more gradual, slow down.
[58:43] So you do you know, I mean, I
don't drive for 36 that often.
[58:50] But I feel like
every single time
[58:52] I do, I see no less than
three people just darting
[58:57] across, not at a crosswalk.
[58:59] And you know, I appreciate that
recommendation to move the bus
[59:03] stops closer to crosswalks.
[59:04] I don't know what that does to
slow traffic because a bus is
[59:07] not stopping closer
to an intersection
[59:10] So I don't know how
that impacts that.
[59:13] But I don't Any
other recommendations
[59:16] on how we prevent people
darting across the street
[59:19] where they're not supposed to
have a question on the course.
[59:26] You keep mentioning
guardrails and sidewalks
[59:29] because the sidewalks
especially in the south, for 36,
[59:33] you have three, four, five feet.
[59:35] And then you have the ditch
in many of those areas.
[59:39] If you were to increase only
because of the limited space
[59:42] that you have commercial
property in the actual right
[59:46] of way, you can go
ahead and you can do it
[59:48] eight and ten wide
sidewalk by default.
[59:51] That's going to
require you to have
[59:53] to do some sort of
retention retention
[59:56] wall for that
guardrail that you're
[59:59] looking to do on the sidewalks.
[1:00:01] If the person doesn't
slip into the ditch
[1:00:03] So before we even go down
to that message to someone
[1:00:08] to actually go and
do retaining walls
[1:00:10] should the conversation just be
just cover the drainage ditches
[1:00:13] and do the proper piping for it?
[1:00:15] I agree that that's
another expensive one.
[1:00:18] That was one part
of the conversation
[1:00:20] that we first started
talking about.
[1:00:22] Recommendations with
city staff that want to
[1:00:25] actually got thrown off what
we should recommend changes
[1:00:30] throughout the entire board
But I know with the 21 million
[1:00:34] that you all that might
not go a long way.
[1:00:37] So it was what can we
do in the meantime ?
[1:00:41] We know that, again, this
is going to be something
[1:00:43] that a lot more study.
[1:00:45] So what usually comes after
the second piece of it is
[1:00:51] the designers are
going to have to figure
[1:00:53] out what can implement this.
[1:00:55] So what you know, what
if you don't actually
[1:00:59] So that's sort of what you see.
[1:01:03] So that's that's a big
A, big recommendation.
[1:01:08] The proposed change for
parking on the street like Lane
[1:01:19] and the county line is a
storage of stormwater storage
[1:01:27] in the center of that road
familiar with the ditches
[1:01:36] on both sides.
[1:01:37] But there is a culvert
a large culvert
[1:01:42] that was put in there
from the county line
[1:01:47] all the way down to
lane in the center.
[1:01:50] Median So for sure water
storage, just so you know,
[1:01:57] because i used to travel
that road every day
[1:02:00] while I was putting it out.
[1:02:02] So that's but this has
been a of our projects
[1:02:09] for a long i serve on
so the plan orlando
[1:02:16] back and this has been
something I've been
[1:02:21] harping on for quite some time.
[1:02:23] But there were at
least two addresses
[1:02:27] because like it
was said earlier,
[1:02:29] it's out there for people
trying to cross that road.
[1:02:36] So without crosswalk So
I'll just so this is, again
[1:02:47] the project what they're
recommending as part
[1:02:50] of their recommendations
of advice
[1:02:52] some more crosswalks those are
on just largely by the way,
[1:02:55] those are not on the main line
This is the that goes with some
[1:03:01] of the recommendations
that they asked
[1:03:03] for a site specific locations.
[1:03:07] One was to remove two off lane.
[1:03:09] So this is what
would also come off
[1:03:11] would also be a really a lot
of times they see a problem
[1:03:14] where it's a cool lane.
[1:03:16] And with this
intersection you have
[1:03:18] to turn it comes up again at the
right past the intersection So
[1:03:23] what they're recommending
is for locations to remove
[1:03:27] that continuous turn
lane and just maybe
[1:03:30] make it a dedicated
like a sidewalk.
[1:03:32] If you're going to
the 30, you turn off.
[1:03:35] And once you get to the
past, the intersection
[1:03:39] will start off again.
[1:03:40] So that's part of the project
are recommending that they're
[1:03:45] really really applications of
the recommended mobile place,
[1:03:52] which are extensions on the side
streets of a couple locations
[1:03:56] also the reasons I think you
might have mentioned this,
[1:04:01] they're recommending 3002
locations along the border
[1:04:05] So to supplement some of
these recommendations,
[1:04:07] we thought there of some other
site specific recommendations.
[1:04:11] The first one is at
Lake Holly So what
[1:04:16] I'll show you is, is just
an example of the concept
[1:04:19] just so you'll be able to
visualize what we're thinking,
[1:04:21] what we're talking about, just
so i this whole mission field
[1:04:27] is proposing that resort island
on the north west corner.
[1:04:33] So we're recommending extending
the median parcel across a lot
[1:04:37] of this will incentivize
people to slaughter turns
[1:04:42] as they're turning off of
436 onto the side street.
[1:04:45] And also gives a
little more comfort
[1:04:48] as they're waiting in there
That's across the street.
[1:04:51] So if somebody has a
mobility impairment.
[1:04:53] And they don't make it all
the way through during the war
[1:04:56] phase, you haven't actually
have some kind of a refuge
[1:04:59] for them to wait before
making a decision
[1:05:02] on And also where that also is
on the south southwest coast.
[1:05:08] Also having a mobile
Just don't forget,
[1:05:12] we use a statement distance
from the intersection
[1:05:14] is a little bit tighter
So for the whole road,
[1:05:20] we actually came up with
two recommendations.
[1:05:22] The first one place
to go to concept.
[1:05:29] So duty also has a Breeze Island
is a proposing road What we're
[1:05:35] proposing is
alternate number one
[1:05:36] is of matched up with
another recycling
[1:05:39] point on the other side.
[1:05:40] And then again,
extending the the median
[1:05:44] as a second alternative.
[1:05:45] We thought it might be better to
actually change or reconfigure
[1:05:49] that corner altogether and make
such a feel a little bit more
[1:05:53] complex when we were
out there, we saw people
[1:05:56] taking that at high speed
So that's one of the things
[1:06:01] I've said.
[1:06:02] What can we do to make it a
little bit more comfortable
[1:06:05] for people that are
crossing the So that's
[1:06:13] one is provide
pedestrian features
[1:06:15] facilitation
surrounding corridor.
[1:06:17] So this is just kind of concern
about having more crosswalks
[1:06:22] So we know this is not
the perfect scenario
[1:06:25] for existing average
crosswalks which is about 2000.
[1:06:29] So this would reduce it to about
1,200 feet off the crosswalks
[1:06:33] don't mark crosswalks.
[1:06:35] So again ideally, you would have
one every 600ft, but you know,
[1:06:40] that would not be palatable and
feasible But at least that gets
[1:06:44] us a little bit closer to what
would be something so some
[1:06:48] somebody would want to walk
and they it'll be a way
[1:06:52] to incentivize folks to use
more crosswalks instead of just
[1:06:56] going from there
right across with
[1:07:00] 20 yards from the crosswalk.
[1:07:01] So and so this is an
example of what we're
[1:07:07] thinking about with Beacon.
[1:07:09] So we specifically
said we wanted
[1:07:11] to have a staggered
crosswalk And the reason
[1:07:14] why this is staggered is
it forces the pedestrians
[1:07:17] to look in a direction
kind of traffic
[1:07:20] crossing from side to side.
[1:07:23] You get to the median,
you have to look
[1:07:25] in traffic before you cross.
[1:07:27] The idea is to have some make
sure that people are looking so
[1:07:33] directional because
across just so 44 of I
[1:07:40] want to see if your feedback
on the recommendation
[1:07:43] So for questions i'll be
more I have a question
[1:07:48] for you on that last crosswalk
that we just saw If there's
[1:07:53] a person that's in that
middle area It's exactly
[1:08:31] That would be my reservation
especially be interested
[1:08:39] in trying to create OK.
[1:08:42] Thank you for so
what a pleasure.
[1:08:51] Let's go on out there
right now for the living
[1:08:55] in the little bolsters.
[1:09:00] Making people turn off.
[1:09:03] It's helpful for the bottle.
[1:09:05] How many times i've been passed
by somebody using the term
[1:09:15] so you turn like three blocks I
still need to put one bulk of it
[1:09:28] a little because there's a long
stretch that are still them
[1:09:41] This whole thing, it's
always been something else.
[1:09:45] Hard for years,
but it was working
[1:09:50] for we talked about
turtles Oh so,
[1:10:01] so you i'm using the term foot
So the next step with this
[1:10:21] is a small piece of finalized
recommendations based
[1:10:23] on a feedback address food,
the audit report to FDA
[1:10:28] to for their approval and
recommendations The draft report
[1:10:33] has already been submitted
The staff recommends
[1:10:35] are looking at right now.
[1:10:37] And once they get once we get
to kind of rough that off.
[1:10:41] So Deputy one of the things
we're going to see processing
[1:10:47] the facility owner
ask for swaps or what
[1:10:51] they will be
implementing you know,
[1:10:54] what they're not expecting.
[1:10:56] And so the process actually
puts them on notice
[1:11:01] The city know what
like for once we get
[1:11:06] this will develop a process.
[1:11:08] Like I mentioned,
the cost analysis
[1:11:11] you finalize order important
provide sensitivity
[1:11:15] That's speak cost because
you have so much money,
[1:11:23] you it's difficult back to.
[1:11:27] So that's where you know what
you've got what you've got
[1:11:31] is great.
[1:11:33] But the cost analysis is so the
other questions I guess really
[1:11:47] is the 36.
[1:11:53] Yes 30 Is any of that
going to be included
[1:11:59] The 436 course side Right.
[1:12:07] Well, the good thing
I told you about this,
[1:12:16] it's more complicated Thank you.
[1:12:25] Thank you so so I on the
agenda citizens comments.
[1:12:48] This is time during
the commission
[1:12:52] meetings and citizens are able
to address this first question.
[1:12:57] So since my use is time
to submit or have an issue
[1:13:01] or make inquiries on topics the
not on the current agenda as
[1:13:08] well the Commission staff may be
available for after the meeting.
[1:13:16] The trust and any
comments used to speak.
[1:13:20] Please raise your hand.
[1:13:24] Not asking for the microphone
before starting your comments.
[1:13:30] Provide your name and address
and you have 20 minutes ready.
[1:13:39] My name is Jubal 1311 Drive
and i'm bringing up the subject
[1:13:46] of when I first
wrote Construction
[1:13:51] but it's been put
in the roundabout
[1:13:53] with speed bumps that
are in there just
[1:13:58] the neighbors like a block
away from me around six
[1:14:02] m damage to their cars.
[1:14:06] My front end was knocked out.
[1:14:08] I was going 12.
[1:14:11] And what happens is I
am and the roundabouts
[1:14:17] are so be there's no signs.
[1:14:21] So I should have letters from
six of my neighbors, which
[1:14:26] i'm I'm just for you to put it.
[1:14:32] So you can go around
this roundabout 25
[1:14:35] miles an hour You
went around the block
[1:14:37] from about a 25ft traverses.
[1:14:41] You got to go like that If
you go over 50 spaces here,
[1:14:49] people that are with you're
going 20 miles an hour 15 to 25.
[1:14:56] My car, it's my shops are going.
[1:15:01] So my front is i
wheels is breaking.
[1:15:04] I drove here but
I'm very careful.
[1:15:08] I can't drive back
across the street.
[1:15:15] There's susie about so we all
see i stop the damage to my car
[1:15:37] But before I do that I can't
do this across the street
[1:15:43] Just get right Get
into other people.
[1:15:54] It is pretty small.
[1:16:05] So One of four to today Your
spaces choose is at 1255.

[1:16:27] So also my truck station myself.
[1:16:32] OK Please don't drive This
becomes trucks Thank you
[1:16:48] Please do you like to
next person Everyone
[1:17:04] else Let's start with six place.
[1:17:20] I will say i have
a large vehicle.
[1:17:22] So to speak, in my vehicle
But they are closest
[1:17:25] and i think that's intentional.
[1:17:26] But I will around this.
[1:17:29] I'm going to go forward to that
rental and I'm pretty sure.
[1:17:32] I don't know if that
ratio is to make it
[1:17:34] over, especially that last one.
[1:17:36] It's just very steep.
[1:17:39] The rest and resting
was really cool.
[1:17:41] I would it seems newer
and for interested to hear
[1:17:46] from the police and
from the fire department
[1:17:48] how that interacts
with emergency vehicles
[1:17:51] and if it's going slow
them down or how to
[1:17:54] And I wonder if
people catch on to it.
[1:17:57] But there are not first
coming because I'm used to.
[1:18:01] Oh, there's going to be
a car coming I think.
[1:18:05] Oh, well, it's
just like, why are
[1:18:07] they going to be
more inclined to just
[1:18:10] run it without consequence.
[1:18:11] So interesting I'm just, again
from this first responder
[1:18:16] perspective for
interested in then
[1:18:19] I slightly do anyone else

[1:18:35] for the record So 3
2 drive My comment is
[1:18:48] to be there since both street.
[1:19:02] So before we got there.
[1:19:05] Hopefully exactly this
comment is for research Ma'am,
[1:19:13] could you please

[1:19:15] and address for
the record please?
[1:19:17] Mitchell lester, thanks a lot.
[1:19:21] Thank you Because there's
way before I got here,
[1:19:30] sorry So again on behalf of the
people, thank you Anyone else ?
[1:20:04] Hello, my name.
[1:20:05] Excuse me.
[1:20:06] Colleen Queen Mary Circle.
[1:20:09] I'd like to speak just
briefly on the peacocks
[1:20:11] to go into longevity I
have had over 70 years.
[1:20:15] I've been here most like likely
for whole subdivision was part
[1:20:21] of where they were part
of the Cassowary Estate
[1:20:25] part of the barn, and the horses
were there Just the lifestyle
[1:20:28] that was created in that
area I want you to know
[1:20:32] that the sandhill
cranes are excuse me
[1:20:34] I'm going to talk about
them to the people.
[1:20:37] Actually, come on over here.
[1:20:39] They go back in
their weight coats.
[1:20:42] So they are part of
horse It just looks like
[1:20:45] area So they have a lot of noise
at 6:00 at night They are crazy.
[1:20:53] The occurrence and so
are the now tonight.
[1:20:58] And so are some noisy birds.
[1:21:00] I think they're egrets or
something that scream at 5 a.m.
[1:21:03] in the morning so
they create something
[1:21:07] wonderful in our community.
[1:21:10] The nights or take
advantage of just
[1:21:12] being there a place
that's quiet and rolling
[1:21:17] and noisy But I'd rather
hear that silence.
[1:21:21] No animals at all So I think
that things need to you know,
[1:21:26] really be discussed on this
because this quality of life
[1:21:31] issue for the community
and for the area.
[1:21:34] So i just hope that you
all will be going on.
[1:21:39] If you get rid of sandhill curse
use me to get rid of peacocks
[1:21:44] then.
[1:21:45] Oh, well, maybe we should
get rid of sandhill cranes
[1:21:48] Oh, maybe we should do this.
[1:21:50] So I think that it's kind of
like it's a bird sanctuary,
[1:21:55] and we are very blessed
to have some pretty
[1:21:57] pretty birds over there
My kids, my grandkids.
[1:22:00] We lock.
[1:22:01] We go see them when they come
visit They are part of our area
[1:22:05] So I just think that they
see very seriously about.
[1:22:10] Thank you.
[1:22:11] Thank you.
[1:22:13] Anyone else So One of
the five south slightly
[1:22:28] I'm in favor of holidays
We moved in 23 years ago
[1:22:33] when we looked at our property
there was a gorgeous view
[1:22:38] is beauty on the lot.
[1:22:40] We chose We were hopeful that
our field instead our home
[1:22:44] did not drive them out.
[1:22:46] It did not.
[1:22:47] The only thing that has driven
these animals off these wild
[1:22:51] has been construction and
hurricane We were devastated
[1:22:55] for the last
hurricanes came through
[1:22:57] and our peacocks went away
to come allow to come back.
[1:23:01] They came back very, very happy
to have These are wild in this
[1:23:06] is their neighborhood, not ours
They were their first family
[1:23:11] tree that we are going to
be finally an insurance
[1:23:14] claims against the city.
[1:23:16] So wild animals.
[1:23:17] So people can now start going
for the squirrels that do damage
[1:23:21] in their houses, their breasts.
[1:23:22] They get up in their attics the
nice little teeny tiny hands
[1:23:26] that love electronic house You
destroy your computer This is
[1:23:33] there are ways to prevent
peacocks from attacking
[1:23:36] your car There are
ways for people
[1:23:38] to keep peacocks on your side.
[1:23:41] The lady has kept the garden
herself slightly spruce.
[1:23:46] They go away.
[1:23:47] Classically, but that's okay.
[1:23:49] We need to remember that
they were here first.
[1:23:53] There, allowing this in
their neighborhoods So we
[1:23:56] need to get a little
bit of respect here.
[1:23:59] We had a bird sanctuary for
a reason Next slide, please.
[1:24:03] Sandhill cranes protected
owls, protected woodpeckers,
[1:24:07] all of which live
in this neighborhood
[1:24:09] So we need to be
careful with this.
[1:24:11] Thank you.
[1:24:12] Thank you so what else ?
[1:24:29] Very nice thing.
[1:24:30] Them will close up for
some meeting Friends
[1:24:36] report for just a quarter.
[1:24:44] Again, a what we
do for such policy.
[1:24:51] There is a simple control
Also some clarification there.
[1:24:58] My experiences.
[1:24:59] One of the consequences
of the bird bird
[1:25:04] sanctuary our city
to service animal
[1:25:11] was to respond to
lady complaints.
[1:25:17] All chickens So this
difficulty to go through.
[1:25:27] OK so we really wanted to do
something for our thinking court
[1:25:46] I just want to let
the public know
[1:25:48] that we have our food truck.
[1:25:50] That's to surprise 46 design.
[1:25:53] And out here like concord Park
and also to advise the public
[1:25:58] again that are qualified for
candidates for city commission
[1:26:02] seats one, two and three
begins on Monday, next Monday
[1:26:09] August 17th through Friday.
[1:26:11] Each day for business hours
through Friday and for that
[1:26:16] reason, on that
Friday, the 21st will
[1:26:18] open City Hall for the purposes
of qualifying only seven.
[1:26:22] I have to, if anyone is
interested in running,
[1:26:25] they need to contact me
either by phone or via email
[1:26:31] as soon as possible so we can
get to the right direction.
[1:26:35] Thank you so the other
pickups we had on for some
[1:26:47] is just go to you.
[1:26:55] Your favorite just
to fly one city
[1:27:02] luncheon Yeah just
the other day and I
[1:27:13] I didn't know that I wanted.
[1:27:15] So what property and
build houses spread
[1:27:18] it's very nice to V does the
good job Yeah, same thing
[1:27:30] with a few guys Very
stress or sanctuary
[1:27:36] We also have communities
to each class.
[1:27:40] I think that's what guys
reserve for So yes so really,
[1:27:56] I just want to say this to you.
[1:27:58] That's amazing that I
Desjardins is an asset.
[1:28:05] Definitely.
[1:28:05] And it's definitely what
happens with the city.
[1:28:15] So he's doing great.
[1:28:16] He's been doing a great job.
[1:28:17] He was always a kudos And
then One other thing, too, I
[1:28:21] just want to add on to
the financial report There
[1:28:23] was a there's 18
reports an audit
[1:28:27] started to come back the same.
[1:28:30] So that's about how
will you respond
[1:28:37] to the city and your language?
[1:28:46] You know, the report,
it's just i've always
[1:28:49] said that it is the way
the city is is actually
[1:28:54] makes our job easy does
such fantastic job Yeah.
[1:29:04] In terms of the
financial audit also.
[1:29:06] Congratulations.
[1:29:07] Good job I serve this
most recent year along
[1:29:10] with some commissioner
Phil Pepper
[1:29:12] and Michael on the audit
selection committee.
[1:29:17] So we were taking our fees
for various financial firms
[1:29:22] and wanted to become
our new auditor
[1:29:25] And the fact that this
year was so delayed
[1:29:29] was certainly a
factor in us deciding
[1:29:31] to recommend to the
commission your reported
[1:29:35] to and sort of going forward.
[1:29:37] So I share your concern
about the delays
[1:29:41] that we have there I also
wanted to share that I spoke
[1:29:46] with Donna today and I
went through my filing
[1:29:49] to front for my seat.
[1:29:52] I just cannot in good faith
ask citizens to vote for me
[1:29:57] for a four year term because
I have some other service
[1:30:01] things that I want to pursue.
[1:30:03] And I'm not confident that
I would be able to fulfill
[1:30:06] the entire four year term.
[1:30:08] So I just don't feel
it's the right thing
[1:30:11] to ask voters to vote
for Back into my seat
[1:30:14] when I and I'll be
able to fulfill.
[1:30:17] But I will continue to fulfill
the rest of my term with 110%
[1:30:22] for it's been a real honor
to be on the commission
[1:30:26] and work with you some
get some understanding,
[1:30:30] know you have a lot
more power than I do
[1:30:36] So you saw how to do
the same thing to i'm
[1:30:42] going to have so
much fun with that.
[1:30:44] The work.
[1:30:46] Thank you.
[1:30:46] Seriously former
commissioner for towards
[1:30:50] the end her career July 29th.
[1:30:54] We actually have this chamber
for great Chamber of Commerce.
[1:31:00] What it's like to hobnob
very well attended
[1:31:03] actually raised $20,000.
[1:31:06] And that money actually goes
to the small scholarships
[1:31:11] within our community as well.
[1:31:12] So this actually honors close
to 40 million candidates.
[1:31:19] Some people from the
community came out
[1:31:22] was very appreciative of just
being some of these candidates
[1:31:25] when we're one state.
[1:31:29] We also hosted all a speaker
at the Casper Chamber
[1:31:35] and pretty much field
was like Where do you see
[1:31:39] yourself five years from now?
[1:31:40] So ten years from now?
[1:31:42] It's amazing how many people
lives over here that's 5 or 10
[1:31:49] or 15, 20 year.
[1:31:51] Somebody i told I never
had a five year plan put me
[1:31:53] where you need me.
[1:31:54] And said, I'll do
what I need to do,
[1:31:56] figure it out And
then after that,
[1:31:58] we also have county policy
canceled after presentation.
[1:32:03] The sense of self OK, so
this is what they did.
[1:32:07] Their public
information officer,
[1:32:09] visa holders council president.
[1:32:14] And she created the
Stanford self stake,
[1:32:18] which means all the state
or thursday to decide
[1:32:22] to go for a we to
see them before day
[1:32:26] workweek up to what happens.
[1:32:29] You just invites
events at your office
[1:32:31] if they're just blasting usage
here something on Stanford
[1:32:36] people enjoy the person
give it a work break
[1:32:40] in what's going on as well.
[1:32:41] So it really takes
off the the it just
[1:32:45] starts introducing the week and
some of the employees there,
[1:32:48] which is great.
[1:32:49] And then we had a presentation
by Kelly for short OK.
[1:32:53] So do do we have
to you about it?
[1:32:55] Here's and that's
the biggest issue
[1:32:58] is trying to get the message
across that they don't
[1:33:02] provide resources to people.
[1:33:03] That's the biggest
misconception It's a handout
[1:33:07] to so many hours of
volunteer work that they must
[1:33:10] do to be able to qualify for.
[1:33:13] But most important to
which even if you're not
[1:33:15] part of the program
to go see full,
[1:33:19] there's a lot of other
items that they offer
[1:33:22] and a lot of it's just fine.
[1:33:24] Essential services.
[1:33:26] Well, a lot of education
with finances Many times
[1:33:31] you tell people you have a
people that would actually apply
[1:33:33] for a full 95 of those
people would not even
[1:33:38] qualify because One last
item so over the edge
[1:33:43] that they really afford to
be part of the program I
[1:33:47] first when I joined.
[1:33:48] So many years ago
the conversation
[1:33:50] was providing affordable
housing that conversation helped
[1:33:54] because we are various
county to building
[1:33:58] now we more to
sustainable scalable
[1:34:02] housing for to the point
that you find overseas.
[1:34:05] So we received they received
grants from the Kansas
[1:34:10] got $3.2 million.
[1:34:11] And it only went to
40 stations that we're
[1:34:15] happy to see that actually
has their books perfect for.
[1:34:19] And so it was with a lot of
that money that was places
[1:34:23] from that grant goes into
developing these clinics instead
[1:34:26] of just one fill in house
every so often it's like a hold
[1:34:31] So that was so telling
Appreciate that.
[1:34:35] Like one of little tried
county board hopefully
[1:34:47] get a lot of people relations
at the church with the onset
[1:34:57] of the luxury advocacy is
going to be in the forefront
[1:35:04] about what happens with
the mandatory we're going
[1:35:12] strong voice go see
whatever policies
[1:35:21] this is The more you
have to have voice
[1:35:28] or and it doesn't pass.
[1:35:31] It's not going to go away.
[1:35:34] So efficacy is going to be a
big part of all of my push.
[1:35:40] That's to be involved, people
involved and getting our message
[1:35:54] So that's a productive
we go because we're
[1:36:08] done Just about
done so Yeah, I can
[1:36:37] I just Yeah I just want to do.
[1:36:40] I don't want to life.
[1:36:42] I don't want to try OK so it's
kind of hard because Yes It's
