Next, we 1408 00:47:28,399 --> 00:47:30,568 have some of the series. 1409 00:47:30,568 --> 00:47:31,736 Samantha Series address on 1410 00:47:31,736 --> 00:47:33,671 file. Of course, I'm here 1411 00:47:33,671 --> 00:47:34,471 today to talk about over 1412 00:47:34,471 --> 00:47:35,706 development. 1413 00:47:35,706 --> 00:47:37,208 >> I understand we do need 1414 00:47:37,208 --> 00:47:39,243 more homes. I think we need to 1415 00:47:39,243 --> 00:47:41,178 maybe have more affordable 1416 00:47:41,178 --> 00:47:41,812 homes. I recently read an 1417 00:47:41,812 --> 00:47:44,148 article that stated that 1418 00:47:44,148 --> 00:47:45,883 Florida is number one. Number 1419 00:47:45,883 --> 00:47:47,351 one in foreclosures. That's 1420 00:47:47,351 --> 00:47:48,285 for sure. So I think we're 1421 00:47:48,285 --> 00:47:49,687 running into an issue where 1422 00:47:49,687 --> 00:47:52,687 we're building too quickly and 1423 00:47:53,825 --> 00:47:54,559 costing too much people are 1424 00:47:54,559 --> 00:47:55,627 buying in a non able to make 1425 00:47:55,627 --> 00:47:59,227 those payments. So now we are 1426 00:47:59,497 --> 00:48:00,598 number one in foreclosures. 1427 00:48:00,598 --> 00:48:03,134 Again, I think we need more 1428 00:48:03,134 --> 00:48:04,101 affordable homes rather than 1429 00:48:04,101 --> 00:48:06,700 just over developing creating 1430 00:48:06,700 --> 00:48:09,400 heat domes in our city. 1431 00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:09,707 Natural land does keep our 1432 00:48:09,707 --> 00:48:12,107 temperatures down. It does 1433 00:48:12,210 --> 00:48:15,210 filter out the the wastewater 1434 00:48:16,747 --> 00:48:19,150 to not, you know, get into our 1435 00:48:19,150 --> 00:48:21,550 drinking water streams, rivers 1436 00:48:22,453 --> 00:48:25,223 and ocean. It helps with. All 1437 00:48:25,223 --> 00:48:27,258 sorts of reasons. And I wanted 1438 00:48:27,258 --> 00:48:27,958 to inform you guys. There was 1439 00:48:27,958 --> 00:48:29,860 a new report from the public 1440 00:48:29,860 --> 00:48:31,663 employees for Environmental 1441 00:48:31,663 --> 00:48:33,664 responsibility and the Water 1442 00:48:33,664 --> 00:48:35,566 Keepers. Florida reveals that 1443 00:48:35,566 --> 00:48:37,569 over 52% of assessed water 1444 00:48:37,569 --> 00:48:38,736 bodies in Florida fail to meet 1445 00:48:38,736 --> 00:48:39,970 the state water quality 1446 00:48:39,970 --> 00:48:40,572 standards due to excessive 1447 00:48:40,572 --> 00:48:42,572 nutrients and bacterial 1448 00:48:44,242 --> 00:48:46,211 contaminations. But the 1449 00:48:46,211 --> 00:48:47,411 findings show a significant 1450 00:48:47,411 --> 00:48:48,146 decline. Environmental 1451 00:48:48,146 --> 00:48:48,880 enforcement with state actions 1452 00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:50,781 are dropping to less than half 1453 00:48:50,781 --> 00:48:53,181 of their historical average 1454 00:48:53,885 --> 00:48:55,186 despite the surge in 1455 00:48:55,186 --> 00:48:55,853 population over development is 1456 00:48:55,853 --> 00:48:58,823 part of the reason we are 1457 00:48:58,823 --> 00:49:01,392 having this issue. We need to 1458 00:49:01,392 --> 00:49:04,392 protect our natural lands. Not 1459 00:49:04,896 --> 00:49:05,429 only just for enjoyment, it 1460 00:49:05,429 --> 00:49:06,897 actually helps the 1461 00:49:06,897 --> 00:49:08,566 environment. It helps our 1462 00:49:08,566 --> 00:49:12,166 water. We are being poisoned v 1463 00:49:13,171 --> 00:49:15,600 a our food, our water, our 1464 00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:16,107 air. We need natural land to 1465 00:49:16,107 --> 00:49:17,842 make sure we are able to get 1466 00:49:17,842 --> 00:49:19,430 rid of some of those prudence. 1467 00:49:19,430 --> 00:49:21,579 I know you all I'm sure have 1468 00:49:21,579 --> 00:49:22,914 heard of forever chemicals.

There's hundreds of 1472 00:49:27,419 --> 00:49:28,520 forever chemicals. It is very 1473 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,254 difficult to get forever 1474 00:49:30,254 --> 00:49:33,358 chemicals out of our water and 1475 00:49:33,358 --> 00:49:34,392 it's dangerous. People are 1476 00:49:34,392 --> 00:49:36,261 getting sick.

When 2432 01:21:56,341 --> 01:21:57,900 intervention is simpler and 2433 01:21:57,900 --> 01:21:59,409 less expensive than waiting 2434 01:21:59,511 --> 01:22:02,181 for the problem to become a 2435 01:22:02,181 --> 01:22:03,382 much bigger issue. That's more 2436 01:22:03,382 --> 01:22:03,949 expensive and more difficult 2437 01:22:03,949 --> 01:22:06,949 to manage as it moves 2438 01:22:07,552 --> 01:22:09,952 downstream.

We are preventing future 2445 01:22:20,599 --> 01:22:22,999 letters. We are preventing 2446 01:22:24,337 --> 01:22:25,400 sick animals, injured animals, 2447 01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:28,400 animals that fight and need 2448 01:22:28,374 --> 01:22:29,909 care from entering the system 2449 01:22:29,909 --> 01:22:30,609 and generating animal 2450 01:22:30,609 --> 01:22:31,310 concurrent control calls are 2451 01:22:31,310 --> 01:22:33,245 producing another generation 2452 01:22:33,245 --> 01:22:35,645 of community cats. That's 2453 01:22:37,616 --> 01:22:40,160 what's called shifting left. 2454 01:22:40,619 --> 01:22:42,454 When funding runs out. Re put 2455 01:22:42,454 --> 01:22:43,155 production doesn't stop. The 2456 01:22:43,155 --> 01:22:44,990 alternative is waiting until 2457 01:22:44,990 --> 01:22:47,159 kittens are already born. And 2458 01:22:47,159 --> 01:22:50,620 then asking the animal care 2459 01:22:50,620 --> 01:22:50,962 and protective services, the 2460 01:22:50,962 --> 01:22:52,962 Humane Society, volunteers 2461 01:22:53,598 --> 01:22:55,567 foster homes to deal with the 2462 01:22:55,567 --> 01:22:58,537 consequences. I want to know 2463 01:22:58,537 --> 01:22:59,237 that this issue has a strong 2464 01:22:59,237 --> 01:23:01,340 community response. I started 2465 01:23:01,340 --> 01:23:03,740 the petition that has 591 2466 01:23:04,810 --> 01:23:05,845 signatures as of this meeting. 2467 01:23:05,845 --> 01:23:07,646 Right now. The program has run 2468 01:23:07,646 --> 01:23:11,246 out of funding and the cost 2469 01:23:11,784 --> 01:23:12,885 shifted to $25 per cat for 2470 01:23:12,885 --> 01:23:14,754 many residents and volunteers. 2471 01:23:14,754 --> 01:23:15,620 This out of pocket costs is a 2472 01:23:15,620 --> 01:23:16,355 real barrier and is causing 2473 01:23:16,355 --> 01:23:19,355 fewer people to participate in 2474 01:23:20,292 --> 01:23:21,600 the tnr program. When the cost 2475 01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:24,660 goes up, fewer cats get fixed. 2476 01:23:24,663 --> 01:23:25,497 And the cycle continues. Not 2477 01:23:25,497 --> 01:23:26,131 only does it continue, it 2478 01:23:26,131 --> 01:23:28,531 exponentially grows as a 2479 01:23:29,201 --> 01:23:31,703 problem. Right now the program 2480 01:23:31,703 --> 01:23:33,380 is funded by Duval Cat Fix, 2481 01:23:33,380 --> 01:23:36,380 which is funded by ordinance 2482 01:23:37,643 --> 01:23:38,778 for license fees. Shifting the 2483 01:23:38,778 --> 01:23:39,411 burden to consumers who 2484 01:23:39,411 --> 01:23:42,381 actually take the time to 2485 01:23:42,381 --> 01:23:43,115 register their pets and then 2486 01:23:43,115 --> 01:23:46,115 Rosie's Fund, which is private 2487 01:23:46,452 --> 01:23:48,687 donors kick in. It's not 2488 01:23:48,687 --> 01:23:49,455 enough. So I'm asking the city 2489 01:23:49,455 --> 01:23:51,457 to increase funding for the 2490 01:23:51,457 --> 01:23:54,457 community cat and spay and 2491 01:23:54,626 --> 01:23:56,595 neuter program by 100 to 2492 01:23:56,595 --> 01:23:58,130 $150,000 to provide enough 2493 01:23:58,130 --> 01:24:00,933 resources.

I raise this part of 2837 01:35:17,312 --> 01:35:18,130 the narrative because it has 2838 01:35:18,130 --> 01:35:21,130 allowed rich white folks over 2839 01:35:22,251 --> 01:35:22,817 the past 400 years to carry 2840 01:35:22,817 --> 01:35:23,318 out untold misery and 2841 01:35:23,318 --> 01:35:23,952 suffering towards 2842 01:35:23,952 --> 01:35:25,952 African-Americans and all 2843 01:35:27,550 --> 01:35:27,890 people of color.

The narrative 2846 01:35:32,594 --> 01:35:35,300 allowed major highways to run 2847 01:35:35,300 --> 01:35:37,300 through black communities, 2848 01:35:37,899 --> 01:35:39,468 driving down the value of land 2849 01:35:39,468 --> 01:35:40,168 and that propaganda. That 2850 01:35:40,168 --> 01:35:43,168 narrative was that they were 2851 01:35:46,208 --> 01:35:46,842 getting rid of slums.

Now you want to put 2862 01:36:11,332 --> 01:36:13,732 concrete. In the black 2863 01:36:15,370 --> 01:36:15,771 community.

When are you 2867 01:36:25,680 --> 01:36:29,280 all going to do something to 2868 01:36:32,254 --> 01:36:35,254 stop this cycle?
