wasn't easy to start a sorority for minorities okay
so beyond how many years owns a significant achievements where is Zeta
Phi Beta Sorority Incorporated was founded in 1920 and where is this this
sorority was founded by five co-ed students students and Howard University

promote the highest standard of scholarship achievement and what is the
sorority sister hood Woodfox my greatest sense of unity among its members and
whereas the sorority has more than 120,000 college-educated women
within its incorporation and whether it is there are more than 800 chapters in
North America Europe Asia the Caribbean Africa and the Middle East and wherever
it is since its founding this sorority has historically focused on social
causes therefore my JD went in by virtue of the

miss Barrett hey how you doing let me see you sneak
in
yeah we'd like you to do you're gonna bring up the PowerPoint okay yeah you
can speak from the podium I just let us know who you are where you from
although I know you not everybody does
mr. Barry your regional your local regional partnership specialist Nisha
would you bring your mic down just a little bit so everybody oh here we go
there you go yeah let's start over yeah rewind good evening ladies and
gentlemen I am Nisha Baron your elite regional partnership specialist for the
2020 census coming up I am a citizen of Okaloosa County which is a requirement
for this position you have to be familiar with your your communities the
people is in it and how we work how we talked and how we live because it's
really about us I'm a retired Air Force veteran of 24
years services in Air Force as a communication Officer I work with BAE
Systems for about eight years and MT is first and then I retired from there and
became a shelter and a gardener but I took on this position because I just
have to serve I was a Girl Scout at eight I just have to serve I took the
positions I think this is important it's important to our community is important
to our country we have this it's our civic duty to participate in the census
we've heard a lot of things about the census it's in the news real heavy right
now but the bottom line is it is mandated by the Constitution of the
United States it says we will be counted every 10 years from the year ending in
zero they started for a lot of reasons but we have to count the people so that
the federal government knows how many people it needs to take care of online
the census do we get it I can just keep going you know keep going yes count the
residents it says count the residents the money follows the numbers and not
the needs it is about power it's the law it's about power it's about money but
ultimately it's about people the census count how many people we have in our
communities determine how many congressional seats we have here's the
power last decennial we count Florida gained two more seats we're not allowed
to say how many we might have is that somebody
study it's not fact also it draws our congressional lines it draws our
district lines if I schools are too crowd it's probably because we do not
have the right count the money follows the numbers and
not the needs it's also about people how many people if you have things like
federal grants federal subsidies but if the first thing they want to ask is how
many people the Sacred Heart wants to do a study on heart disease amongst women
and this our Sacred Heart to go about how many women in Crestview how many
women under 35 since this is the largest data warehouse collection in the world
and everybody uses census data as you know businesses before they open up to a
business plan should I open up a Dave & Buster's and Crespi how many people is
there what's their income can they afford my ticket will they like to play
games since this data is very important today Florida is the third largest
populated state in America ahead of New York it did that in 20,000 14 he's been
doing it every year since then the federal budget is trying to divide six
hundred and seventy five billion dollars amongst 50 states and it is based on how
many people we have now that we've done this and they expect us to have
additional six million people about 2030 we want to get our money folks we got to
be counted this is important what we do with the money
we follow refinances roads education transportation Medicare is funded by
census anything that says federally funded federally subsidized even college
grants if your community wants to add a new playground and the county's budget
is a little limited you might want to do a federal grant but guess what's going
to happen how many people live there how many children are there is it worth the
value do you meet the criterias to get this grant since this data is important
our fire departments wildlife even before we cannot wait till FEMA has to
come god forbid and visit us again when they decide how much money Crestview
needs they're going to say how many people times this amount of money to
give us the help we're going to need an emergency and we can't wait till that
day these numbers last for 10 years
census data people like to go oh we're going to go look up our ancestry it's
nice to have how many men how many women in Crestview about even men and women
how many veterans for veteran services how many children for children services
it's not unique stuff like that to do but it also helps with problem-solving
when we have traffic and we want to change the roads and that's when it
comes very important if Nike wants to open up the store how many colors are
Air Jordans how many young men do you have how many under 25 it's just that
simple it's just that complicated since this
data is everywhere you look last time we missed 2 million children
under 5 that's a lot of children that's a lot of money almost 15 million dollars
easy that's 10 years of disservice to those children the census believes it's
because fortunately unfortunately some homes are fragmented so did mom count
the baby or did daddy count the baby sometimes he spends half this time there
have this time there a phone we have young mothers and maybe don't understand
the importance of census data or participating in the census
unfortunately we got a lot of grandmas that became moms is she supposed to
count she doesn't know we have to count the
children to that end we employ schools we're enlisting school to help because
there's nothing more exciting to a kid and he learned something new and he's
gonna wear her mom out with his new dad or mom have you taken the census have
you had done the census so we're going through the school with a lot of
programs over here when we turn to the Census Bureau we're garnishing partners
and I hope I'm looking at my new set of partners to help get the word out to our
community that is so important this year the census is not only the largest
mobile Asian mobile Asian mobilization the mobilization of people besides war
the census and we have to do that to take these numbers so we decided to
target the low response group but this year it is different the low response
group normally are immigrants and minorities but this year like everybody
else the census has to do more with less and we want to be more efficient and we
want to save money so we're going to fully digital we're going to ask the
American public to dollar 1-800 number and answer just ten questions or get
online and answer just 10 questions or if
you're old-school like some people they like if it's not on paper it didn't
happen you have the option to get the paper so we're gonna do that and I think
that's more important of the information we didn't know so that with that being
said it affects everyone this is important to everyone and I'm more
concerned about our senior citizens a lot of them with tech savvy but to get
online to fix this number and I met him and he's a Vietnam vet and he's just not
trusting nobody how do I know us to being how do they know it's me how do I
know it's them but we got a team of people that's going to help you out with
that and we want you to know that your data is secure since this data is
secured it's encrypted it's locked for 72 years in a day it's about data it's
not about names and addresses you might go to census ancestry.com and look like
look up great-grandma great-great grandpa but it stops at 1940 why because
1950 is not gonna be released till 2022 it is encrypted and is bolted 72 years
and a day why because in 1790 on the first census to average lifespan was 72
years so 72 years in a day if we release it we may not matter to Mary and Bob
lived at 1313 Mockingbird Lane also the census data is secure it is not shared
with any other agency it is against the law to share it our president on
December 31st is gonna get a list of numbers not addresses not phone numbers
he's gonna get data since the data cannot be shared with the FBI the CIA or
any other late agency it cannot be use against you it's for the purpose of what
it's intended for and that alone so your information will be confidential it will
not be shared and incidentally when they come to your door should you not respond
self-respond but the only one 800-number and answering questions getting online
an instant in question we're going to invite you four times to do that after
four times we're coming and knocking four times we gonna start March the
middle of March and sending out the lights a little letter explaining
everything and with your code you're gonna get a cold two dollar one number
into the code and answer the ten questions or you go online into the code
and then then we're gonna say okay Mary didn't respond less than a little
postcard mary did you forget and then we're gonna send up there when after
four times we're gonna send the team out and hopefully just like we did address
canvasing it'd only be thirty percent which is way lower in the cost of
sending everybody to every last address so we're gonna start mid-march it's
gonna go over to April 27th and then we're gonna have the no response guru
next very next operation in their eight to ten week operations are as group
homes we're gonna go to group homes like
senior citizens that baricza's hospitals uh non-traditional homes like
campgrounds and do in person count well how did this organizations like
baricza's a probably have the numbers already there we're going to collector
there's a few stragglers will help me get it done anybody shows up to your
door should have a census badge he should have a census badge they should
have a bag that says it if they do not if for any reason you do not feel that
person is not official you have every right to turn away and call your Sheriff
Department Sheriff's Department is one of our finest partners and they're gonna
notify people that they're out there and they probably already had a couple of
incidences minor miss Suzie decided she was gonna sell her old since its bags
from twenty two thousand see thought they'd be nice little keepsakes and he
was at the third shot did my girlfriend who knew I was this hey there's some
bags like what we don't want the bad guys to get the bags and like I told
them my supervisor who's way up there and II say this is not about miss I'm
sure she's a client late and people like thrift shop want to protect her because
she's a favorite she just thought of something they did buy time they got
there they knew where she worked that she had them online already and
everything they're not playing with taking care of security the same thing
with their data and this is reached a lot of people are concerned about the
breach of that digital data and so they're working every day to counter
that to every day to monitor every day to improve it because we're going to
protect the data that we have until he gets to this encryption state so the
census is about the people it's about law it's about money but it's for
everyone to change the census process questions you have to change the
Constitution we had to change the Constitution allow women to vote we had
to change the Constitution for other people to participate so you can't wake
up and request it has a process it says when it's gonna
be done how it's gonna be done the date that it would be done by 2018 needs to
be done there was this year a test question to make sure because there was
a request but the question has to go out and be vetted and give back the
information it was intended and it didn't pass the test so it's not there
that question we're not gonna talk about it's not there the Constitution says
count residents not citizens because if you're here you're driving our roads we
need to take care of our roads if you hear the Hippocratic oath says we will
take care anybody shows up they have to be funded if the federal government
doesn't fund a who's gonna fund it so we're gonna count every person that
lives in United States once and only once and in the right place and to that
end I need help I can talk about this thing and believe me I do I think it's
important and even though my days off I'm at the beach like hey have you heard
about the census is this that important but I can't talk to everyone your
community doesn't know me specifically but they do know you and we have
businesses that talk to people in their constituents every day we're asking for
help to put it on your Facebook page to put
it on your email blasts to be a partner I've spoken to churches from here to I'm
representing actually standing here representing six counties Okaloosa
Walton Escambia Santa Rosa homes Washington and I'll give away Jack's and
that's just too far so and so we want to need help I'll be happy to go anywhere
and everywhere to talk to anyone and everybody and I've matter of fact I was
like hey those Zetas got away because I'm trying to get the Zetas they helped
me out I'll get them though I'm gonna get him so any kind of festival you had
will make a table it help you get it done to help explain how important it is
to give out information and oh by the way the bottom line is we're hiring we
still need some people worried about actually you are coming on he's doing
great Rock County's doing great and matter of
fact I'm sorry Merrick congratulations for inviting the census to come Florida
is the last state to come on board and fund the census now well we're the one
of seven states that did and I think is four left
we just came on board this month so we had to go bottom up the League of Cities
happenin all the mirrors went to Orlando's and Mayor started calling me
they said this is important congratulations
mayor sore foot and this really sofa ticket we need to get this done now
ahead of the things this a lot of people to educate a lot of people still do not
know we're not coming to the door and I think people are a lot better receptive
to do something the more they're informed the better they're likely to do
in this important so since this is coming
I hope I'm looking at my next complete Cal committee or partnership in the city
of Crestview and if you like me to come speak at your organization your church
your business if you'd like to help me out
I have business cards and a web page and any questions fortunately unfortunately
for Panama City Mexico City Beach is a lot of destruction because of Hurricane
Michael a lot of the people have been displaced yes their count obviously is
gonna be a little bit low which means their funding for schools roads
transportation can be affected because you have to count the people so if
you're not sure where you're gonna be counted mom's house dad's house it's
where you're living at April 1st 2020 official City day since this day the
other thing that happens let's say all your stuff is destroyed now you need a
ID card or something you can form file a BB form 16 B 16 through the census and
get your data back your birth right back so you can get a passport so you can get
your birth certificate because there's a hold and so that that's a lovely thing
data has never really been shared we shared it one time with the Japanese
internment and after that we a form title 13 it says it will not be shared
only one president tried to use it that was eisenhower he wanted to find out who
was new neighborhood it didn't work so your data is secured the census is
simple we trying to make it easy it's safe and it's important thank you very
much thank you
and now we're gonna have the presentation core values
I'll leave city men do you do that we'll try to make this as brief as possible
but as you know one of the questions that I got repeatedly during the
interview process was you know what are we going to do to build a good strong
team what we're gonna do with recruitment how we're going to keep
people that kind of stuff immediately after being hired which did they
strategically planning and established our mission statement and our vision
statement and our goals and objectives for the city and so the next step in
that process was was for us as the employees of the city to develop core
values that we couldn't be evaluated on and we can use for training and other
purposes and so earlier this year we hired Jessica Levin's as our human
resources we call her a specialist but she's really a generalist she does
actually everything Human Resources related and so she has head of a team of
employees to develop our core values so they're going to share this menu tonight
and we'll make it brief as possible but it's it's sometimes running toward us it
helps to shape who we are and where we're going
[Music] we discussed our core values and the
purposes and the uses of these with our employees we gathered at committee three
representatives from each of the department so it would be completely
representative of all the employees in the city and we have some of them here
with us tonight that are going to talk a little bit more about the values and why
we chose them we have a great graphic that goes along with it which I don't
think is going to come up tonight but one of our employees actually
contributed the acronym himself royally in the community development services
division came up a track for us and it's going to be used in all sorts of stuff
and it's really great and these guys are going to talk about what track stands
for what it means to us building on the that word track T started it out in this
case for teamwork which is defined as working together to accomplish the
city's mission through enhanced communication and fostering positive
relationships both public and private the team was chosen because no one
person can do as much as a good team and continue with the mayor's motto for the
year of a community come together means we must come together first
the next one is respect it's defined as treating people and property with regard
to their inherit values simply put you can't have any of the other acronyms
which I want to give away just yet the meanings without respect simply so
respect is the second one the third is a and it's adaptability adaptability is
defined as identify and act upon opportunities for change to increase
effectiveness in a fluid environment an analogy person so the best way I can
explain adaptability is tonight larvas going home and watching a sports game
some special games gonna be on TV tonight both teams are going very
prepared for that game they've been training they've been practicing they've
done everything they can to prepare for what might happen
I predict the team that will win is a team that can adapt to the changes that
are going to come before them that they were not expecting that's adaptability
is you can be planning you can be prepared all you want which you have to
adapt as change come forward and I think that's what we need to do as a team so
the siient Rack is communication sharing information in an approachable attentive
and transparent manner to achieve our mission we chose this core value because
we feel that communication is integral and tying all of them together last but
not least was knowledge knowledge defined as mastery of skills and
continued learning we chose that as a core value because not only do we want
to convey that we're competent at what we do but we want to be the best at what
we do
if you couldn't spell track you know that we're out of letters just on behalf
of the senior management team I'd just like to say a word about how well and
how hard everybody worked on this we had several meetings with all cross sections
of the city municipal team to put this together it was a much bigger list and
we narrowed it down and what we're able to go ahead and pick the the main ones
but but what's key to know is is that in addition to having the actual core
values and the acronym and the definition for the core values this is
that the second part of this that we aren't sharing today is each one of
those have action statements and so as a team we went ahead and formulated what
action statements define it and and are shown by that this is going to help us
and our leadership and being more focused for training purposes because it
is going to allow us to formulate a better evaluation system so so that
we're able to go ahead and communicate with our employees exactly what they are
doing doing right and what they're doing great hey any comments or questions from
the council great no I like make one comment before you wrap it up to him and
that is thank you for the hard work I think it was a really really good core
value especially like the association with the community coming together
that's that's a great concept but anyway yeah thank you for the hard work
appreciate that one thing that one thing they didn't mention that
want to mention is another we have our mission statement but out of this
meeting came a statement that I absolutely love if we didn't already
have a mission statement we may have used it for that but it's one city one
mission and it's and it's the just like week last year was an idiot for
Crestview this year is a community coming together as the employees of the
city we are one city one mission which is important it was separate entities
that have now come under this new form of government and everybody has really
bought into the idea that we are one city and we have one mission and that is
to serve the public so I'm very very proud of this team I'm proud of all of
those that are not here today typically are a lot of times when you do this
stuff you send it off you have no idea what you're going to get back but we as
a department that team did not we went with exactly what they had selected the
acronym the whole everything they did
they kill appreciate I'm gonna move on to approval of Menace anybody have any
objections in minutes seeing none the minutes are approved by Unanimous
Consent
nothing there okay anybody from the public you know like to address the City
Council on it any items on tonight's agenda

don't wish it certainly mr. mayor this one is ordinate 1740 this was they
two to do again the six-month more term on annexation fees this was successful
for the last six months where we did that and this even tonight we're still
doing some of those annexations bringing property into the city the whole goal
was to try to clean up the rather messy city limits that we've got is where it
up and also allow people to join our great city as a community coming
together staff would like to request the six-month moratorium on annexation fees
for properties 10 acres or or less any questions from the council or public
yeah go ahead go into this plucker approximate how many people have we had
at annexed in in their six-month period
it's we've had quite a few I person didn't work on hollowfy okay any other
comments questions just comment I think it's a great idea we need to keep it out
there if anything the first six months we kind of got everybody knowing about
it maybe this next six months will will help those come on more than spoken to
[Music] I'd like to make a comment on and that
is you know one of the issues very confusing to people around here is when
you say well that's County property this city property it's on me it's so
confusing mixed in together so this really encourages people to become part
of the city and take some of the ambiguity out of there so this is a
great encouragement to people and I'm glad to see that it's up for renewal and
I would encourage everybody to do that so seeing no more questions
get your last madam clerk or no 1740 reads my title on orders of the city of
Crestview Florida providing for six-month waiver period for the
collection of annexation application fees the properties of 10 acres or less
in area providing for severability providing for peal of all ordinance elf
parts of ordnance and convict pier with and providing for an effective date this
is a first reading of ordinance 1740 thank you madam clerk could I have
action by the council please staff recommendation okay I have motion
second to approve staffs recommendation any discussion please go to voting
and that motion carries four to zero with one absent individual and we are
done with you Trey moving on action items number fourteen point two LP a
board and I'm assuming that he managing to handle that at least one or two of
the next meetings and then we've had somewhat of a quorum issue over the last
couple of weeks since our last couple of meetings and we actually had to call a
special meeting one time so what we're doing right now we're in the process of
completely rewriting the Administrative Code for the city of kresteva our staff
is working on that right now so that's going to totally change how many
meetings are required how those meetings have to be done right now we have
there's you know the statute requires this and pressu requires this and so
we're working through weeding through all that so these guys over here really
will appreciate some of them I'm just the way we handle our meetings and and
the number of boards that we have the number of different boards and so we
expect an ordinance to be ready in the next two or three meetings yes okay so
we expect to be able to come before you with with an ordinance in the next
couple of meetings to make some significant changes some of those
changes will include taking all of the boards we're going to recommend to you
that we take the different boards that we have and kind of combine them into
one and try to exit the way the process
works for example right now we have a separate boa board from LP a board and
then we have code board we have all these other boards and so when we when
we come back we're going to be recommending that the LP a and the and
the boa are combined it it's an effective way to do it because you have
the people who are writing the code also or evaluating whether a variation is
necessary from the code or whether it's also our appeal process long story short
or long story long we are where the process of changing in between now and
then when we get that done we do need to appoint someone we've reached out to
several of the people who have applied in the past and to see if we if they
were interested one of them being Miss Winkler she was not she declined because
her schedules picked up some so she declined so I reached out to my croix to
ask that you would fill in just for a couple of meetings we need probably two
meetings until we get ready to change it then we'll be able to take all of our
board members and figure out combine them more video will go through it and
place people to create a super board for lack of a better term and so at this
point that's what we're asking for normally I would just say let's hold off
but I'm having form problems as it is so we would like to that one suggestion we
have if you have another somebody who is a resident of the city of Crestview that
wouldn't would be willing to show up I mean sit
on our board and show up as well so but because it's such a it's probably going
to be two or three meetings go for it and then it's all going to be changed
again you know we we knew but again it's up to you you all point select an
appointed member so it has done by the council not by one council member that's
right this will get my nomination is made well we have the openings for this
one in a couple week we put it on social media send out the applications the
applications are online and all right the balls in your court what y'all gonna
do this kid Karen yeah how I do it with staff recommendation a tan
denominator to my groin to the LPA board second at motions second to appoint Mike
Roy to the LPO LP a board any discussion and this is disappointment is until we
come back with a change to the trade so this is just a temporary order okay then
please vote
and that motion carries four to zero with all one absentee okay Ridgeway
landing subdivision Memorandum of Understanding this is for Ridgeway
landing subdivision mr. mayor and council elqui a number 1907 it is a
proposed 146 lot single-family residential subdivision and with this
set a vision is an MOU that I'll discuss here briefly this is a little bit
background about this property it is a parcel of land it's on the corner of old
Bethel Road and Jones Road on the east side of Jones Road is a about thirty two
point six five acres of land they have been through the TRC and LPA with quite
a bit of back and forth and work through this development to make it work as a
result of Jones Road and old Bethel being what they are and trying to look
forward towards the future on planning for a better traffic this the developer
the county and us our engineering they're playing apartments to have
worked together to work out an MoU which is a member of understanding the
developer and this they're all parties involved have worked together to do some
improvements to Jones Road with a nod towards future needs in that area as a
part of this development they have also as far as their
development gave given some of their land towards a ride away on that
property as well in other aspects of this project they have call sufficiently
met all technical requirements for all infrastructure all concurrency
and willing to answer any other questions we do have the developer and
engineer in the audience if you have questions any comments questions yeah I
think I'd like to ask one of the developers that come up if you would
please my my only question would be the big elephant in the room and that is the
transportation what what are the plans with Jones Road Matt Zinke Jenkins
engineering 121 Hart Street nice old Florida
thank you I'm the civil engineer on behalf of a regular land development we
met basically with the Oakland County right off the bat on this project
because Jones Road and old Bethel Road are both roads maintained by Okaloosa
County many of this properties in the city and anyone familiar with the pj
adams project knows that acquiring the right away is probably more difficult
almost in the construction and it's costing as time-consuming so one of the
things the county asked of our developers was we're basically giving 25
feet of ride away along the entire 11 hundred foot frontage along old Bethel
in case the county ever wants to four-way or excuse me put four lanes in
on old Ethel well now I have that right away to do that they're also dedicating
17 feet of ride away along Jones Road to make sure it has the proper right away
and then they're paving about 660 feet of Jones Road and having a second
interest in say the vision that way if that roadway ever gets widened the
entrance off of Bethel could become a ride in right out and then you know you
have a full access there at that juncture out so those improvements were
all coordinated with the county engineer and city staff okay thank you mr. block
has a question a question for you listen I've been answered meaning you
thought only putting the electric one on the ground the electrical is planned to
be underground for this subdivision all right on the ground
yes mr. Payne sir thank you
I think those are all the questions what staff is asking is for approval of this
subdivision together with that MOU that will require that's part of that it's
require them to do that work work on Jones Road as part of their development
okay hey questions or comments then okay could I have action please mr. Graham I
move to approve the construction plans 146 lot family dwelling residential
subdivision plans and the associated MOU what he says he's recommending that we
approve with the staff recommended to us and have a motion of the second any
further discussion please vote
[Music]
and that motion carries four to zero over with one absence thanks miss Mayer
thank you there anybody in the audience that would like to speak to the City
Council anybody in the audience let speaking
thank you gentlemen anybody I don't see anybody to the
audience so page here and I'll start off with any comment starting out with calls
my rights which of course I know everybody's hitching to get out of here
for the game so I'll keep it real short since we're already eight minutes over
but I hope everybody had a great holiday and I look forward to 2020 I think it's
gonna be really busy action-packed especially with all the new view vision
and everything that's moving forward with that being said I have to announce
that I will not be here for the February 10th meeting I will be out of town okay
but other than that you know everything he said but I will be here for the I
have a question a person went to the police department asked the question
they couldn't answer it came to me asked the question I couldn't answer my text
lane and he hadn't asked me back has there ever been any thought of placing a
cup of soaked crosswalks on Main Street mr. blocker address right to you
you know the question was you know are we going to put crosswalks on Main
Street there are four crosswalks on every intersection of Main Street so I'm
not sure there's four crosses that you know they go each way at desease they go
each way at the courthouse we have an additional crosswalk down that
courthouse Suites so I'm not sure I would I'd be happy to talk to whoever it
is and it was good but there's crosswalks are they labeled they got to
be newly approved then we got someone I'm not positive but I'll get an A for
Monday night mayor pro tip Hays what you get for it just a few things through
process then we'll Council like to remind you that every Monday 8 o'clock
you can phone in and hear legislative briefing from Tallahassee on what's
happening on the bills they had one this morning I listened on that this next
coming week to do the holiday will not be on money will be it to a Tuesday but
the days after that on mondays you can dial in enormous about 30 minutes then
they'll brief you on all the bills that are going through and what actions are

monitor junior program on January 18th at 7:00 p.m.
revenant Alban Smith will be the speaker net will be at the Carver Hills Center
on February 11th and the 12th will have legislative day in Tallahassee this is
where elected officials will go to Tallahassee in massive numbers and they
will address or visit our representatives are
and our senators there and just basically we they're aware of a lot of
things that we are concerned about but this gives us a so show a unity force
last shot was there and there was over four or five hundred elected officials
at this event so I'm looking forward to going down 11 to 12 February with the
Council's approval what what approval you're looking forward to a cost
associated that's what they need to know yeah because the cost associated with it
there's a fifty dollar registration fee which have are repaid the other expense
would be the hotel and the hotel is 239 I'm not asking for money for food or
money for gas that'd be a my own expenses how many days you stay both

plan on getting there early that morning at 11th which is where we'll be meeting
with elected officials I'm in our represents be coming over to the
Doubletree and they'll be talking with us and we get to really let them know
how we feel about certain things that the ones that are brave enough to come
and face about four or five hundred people before is the next day there's
another meeting - as you know I say on the board of directors for League of
Cities and there's a meeting there - but I plan on being home that evening so I'm
only after requesting one night State it's like if I could comment on that at
one point I was interested in going there with a city manager but with
having a city manager and a representative from the city
I would rather y'all allow him to go and pay and and I not go because he'll
represent us well and it'll be two of us I don't think we really need three so if
you all want to prove that I I have no problem
wouldn't have to do so yes okay got a motion mr. blocker made a motion to
approve that I don't have it in front of me on another cost of the hotel room is
$239 we have it in the budget yeah okay motion in a second to approve
Mayor Pro temp Hays to go to that conference any discussion please vote
and that motion carries four to zero with one effort okay
I'll wrap things up I'm sorry you want to know one other thing I don't know the
mirror is gonna mention it but from the people that I've been speaking to and
running into from this past Sonny year B began they were thoroughly thrilled with
the new year's event that the mayor has a part of and so I just like to say the
citizens that I've talked with are looking forward to the next year time
okay thank you that that's a good segue into what I was going to say because the
NY the New Year's Eve celebration blew us away we had no idea that many people
would show up we were thinking maybe I don't get 2500 people and build on it
estimates were and I didn't make the estimate the restaurant owners did over
3,000 people showed up everybody had a good time it was a well-organized event
and it was done because of the efforts of the city manager the City Council
city clerk all the departments Main Street it we just it was really a team
effort and we ended that event by saying goodbye to 2019
a new view and saying goodbye brought a little tear to my eye
but we said goodbye to it and then we said welcome 2020 the community coming
together and that's gonna be your theme for this coming year and that was it if
you stop thinking about it that event was a community coming
together speaking of that on Saturday on the 18th
at 9 o'clock in the morning yes I know it's I know it's a holiday I know it's
early I know it may be cold but there is going to be a march in
order of dr. Martin Luther King jr. it's going to be on Main Street and we're
really looking for massive participation this has been done by a group a very
dedicated group concerned citizen press you've been doing it for many years and
so the city's helping them out try to get the advertising out there get the
people out there it'll be no more than one hour we'll be done by 10:00 there's
a guest speaker well-known Reverend from Fort Walton Beach Reverend Cecil
Williams will be the guest speaker and so I encourage everybody to show up and
join us in that March yes I can't take anything from the audience right now
thank you and that's all I have and see Clerk everything for us
now I'll just remind the feet but those of you who signed up for the dinner for
Thursday night in single bio to do you have me on that I want to show up and
have no food no I got everybody and send it in today so everybody that had
responded to it and city manager yes sir just a couple of things briefly again I
appreciate everyone's patience with the new software as we work through it it'll
be better it'll get smoother some things we'll do a follow-up from
the tonight's meeting with Mary another clerk some things I identified that I
want to change is we're going to get to where we get the mass back up there
I work with Caesar so that when we're talking about these we do so many
annexations and reasonings for a while we're able to put them on the screen
we're going to do that again so that you know what you're looking at
the public knows what they're looking at the software doesn't accommodate it so
we'll make some some changes to get that done but again I know it's difficult
whenever we make changes so I appreciate everyone's patience if you can imagine
how long it takes us to go through here there's there's five to seven people
that have to review every single item so having this software allows us to do
that as efficient as possible so if you guys sit you all an email about the five
things I listened I mentioned to the news bulletin that we were going to be
focusing on in next year and one of those things is efficiency and so we
just continue to work to increase our efficiency you'll also see some changes
in here between anything in the next meeting we'll be moving some stuff
around we're not we originally had talked about remodeling this this room
we're not going to do that at this time we're going to we've got so many other
projects going on we're just going to make some changes to accommodate it a
little bit better get myself mixed in this floor so we can work through the
meetings better and also I'll get you guys a TV over here so that that end of
the table can see it better mr. LaBeouf's not here because he's been
on my case about it bring get that done mr. block right toward the Environmental
Center today that's when I got a chance to speak with mr. steel about it and
actually I I invite you to set up a time to go walk it with him but will we have
a ribbon-cutting sing we're waiting on I believe it's the historical the board
historical sites board I was able to help us with the set up inside there but
everything is completely done other than the demo of the building it looks like
that's something we're going to put next year's budget because it's over
twenty thousand to tear the building down and do it because there's asbestos
so what we're going to go ahead and get it open so we'll be doing a
ribbon-cutting on that shortly also The Dispatch Center is is pretty
much done we'll have the ribbon-cutting probably before the next council meeting
not in two weeks but maybe in four weeks so the first council meeting in February
will be having a ribbon cutting for the dispatch center it is beautiful back
there and it is state-of-the-art very very nice facility also we have we're
gonna see a little bit of changes in the way that we produce these meetings one
of the things mr. block brings up to me all the time is to make sure that we're
transparent and so over the last couple of weeks we've been working together
with Pendleton from CCTV on a contract agreement for him to produce
professional produce our our council meetings and so he will be doing that
over the next couple of weeks you're going to see that it will run so they
will be it's guaranteed to run live on the CCTV and also we'll have good
quality both sound and and picture being produced we have the public assignments
that stuff making some changes but other than that we're busy busy so I
appreciate each of you and it's almost been a year all right let me go back to
my page here I think I know where we are want to be sure yeah well thank you all
for coming and go home now and watch the ball game this meeting is adjourned
