>> I give the indication on

44
00:01:38,179 --> 00:01:41,779
tonight, I had a thought. I

45
00:01:42,316 --> 00:01:45,316
thought that. You the chamber

46
00:01:46,387 --> 00:01:49,987
before us. Put your name and

47
00:01:52,393 --> 00:01:54,793
reputation. You represent your

48
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,960
districts. That's Carrie.

49
00:01:59,133 --> 00:01:59,733
That's very important. Each

50
00:01:59,733 --> 00:02:02,360
one of these wonderful

51
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,436
citizens behind me. Here

52
00:02:06,274 --> 00:02:06,907
tonight because they care.

53
00:02:06,907 --> 00:02:09,760
They could have done many

54
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,760
things tonight. But they have

55
00:02:13,681 --> 00:02:15,490
chosen to be here to speak.

56
00:02:15,490 --> 00:02:17,449
Whether in support of

57
00:02:18,419 --> 00:02:19,987
opposition, it really doesn't

58
00:02:19,987 --> 00:02:20,988
matter what truly matters is

59
00:02:20,988 --> 00:02:23,988
that everyone in this room

60
00:02:25,893 --> 00:02:26,593
cares. Whenever you have

61
00:02:26,593 --> 00:02:28,993
indifference, that's mean you

62
00:02:29,263 --> 00:02:32,599
are As long as we have people

63
00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:35,803
who care. We're willing to put

64
00:02:35,803 --> 00:02:38,803
forth their efforts. And come

65
00:02:39,941 --> 00:02:40,641
to make us a better city. To

66
00:02:40,641 --> 00:02:41,242
give us results, but not just

67
00:02:41,242 --> 00:02:42,343
results. The very best

68
00:02:42,343 --> 00:02:45,943
results. Then I say they can

69
00:02:46,247 --> 00:02:46,914
thrive. So to GOD, be the

70
00:02:46,914 --> 00:02:48,549
glory for all that has been

71
00:02:48,549 --> 00:02:49,317
done. All that is here

72
00:02:49,317 --> 00:02:51,318
tonight. We thank you so much.

73
00:02:51,318 --> 00:02:55,518

We thank you for your long

98
00:03:44,572 --> 00:03:45,206
suffering. But most of all,

99
00:03:45,206 --> 00:03:48,206
with think before you son

100
00:03:48,542 --> 00:03:50,645
Jesus Christ, our Lord. Who

came down to this earth to

00:03:51,312 --> 00:03:51,912

103
00:03:51,912 --> 00:03:54,312
the world know greatest

104
00:03:54,749 --> 00:03:55,649

to call in your Holy name.

123
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:33,521
Before we begin. Thank you

00:04:51,272 --> 00:04:54,272

We do pray a I pledge

139
00:05:16,530 --> 00:05:17,164
>> All right. Floor leader, I

140
00:05:17,164 --> 00:05:20,164
think we're going to roll

141
00:05:31,579 --> 00:05:33,579
call.

142
00:05:49,463 --> 00:05:50,598
He team present. All

143
00:05:50,598 --> 00:05:51,532

have a couple quick

145
00:05:52,533 --> 00:05:53,701
announcements, one from the

146
00:05:53,701 --> 00:05:54,635
floor leader about next week's

147
00:05:54,635 --> 00:05:57,400
schedule and update from jta

148
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:57,371
from our Liaison Ducks

149
00:05:57,371 --> 00:05:58,105
Johnson.

150
00:05:58,105 --> 00:05:59,840
>> Yes, MR. PRESIDENT reminder

151
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:01,750
to our colleagues and everyone

152
00:06:01,750 --> 00:06:01,876
here next week because of the

153
00:06:01,876 --> 00:06:03,440
Martin Luther King junior

154
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:04,979
holiday on Monday committees

155
00:06:04,979 --> 00:06:05,880
will be shifted one day to the

156
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,280
Rice will have neighborhoods

157
00:06:08,849 --> 00:06:09,484
and rules on Tuesday to you

158
00:06:09,484 --> 00:06:10,118
finance until you see on

159
00:06:10,118 --> 00:06:11,319
Wednesday. Thank you, MR.

160
00:06:11,319 --> 00:06:12,519
Floor, Leader, Ducks Johnson.

161
00:06:12,519 --> 00:06:13,654
You're recognized. Thank you,

162
00:06:13,654 --> 00:06:14,289
MR. PRESIDENT, I will keep

163
00:06:14,289 --> 00:06:15,556
this brief over the last

164
00:06:15,556 --> 00:06:17,358
several days. My phone inbox

165
00:06:17,358 --> 00:06:17,725
have been 4 with one clear

166
00:06:17,725 --> 00:06:18,492
message.

167
00:06:18,492 --> 00:06:20,461
>> That connection plus

168
00:06:20,461 --> 00:06:22,296
matters. And this is for the

169
00:06:22,296 --> 00:06:22,997
community. The service is an

170
00:06:22,997 --> 00:06:24,165
inconvenient. It's a lifeline

171
00:06:24,165 --> 00:06:25,966
for residents with

172
00:06:25,966 --> 00:06:27,168
disabilities who depend on

173
00:06:27,168 --> 00:06:28,235
this service. And as the

174
00:06:28,235 --> 00:06:30,137
council liaison, I didn't just

175
00:06:30,137 --> 00:06:32,390
to hear those concerns. I

176
00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:32,740
showed up attended community

177
00:06:32,740 --> 00:06:34,575
meetings even one last night

178
00:06:34,575 --> 00:06:36,877
that lasted about 3 hours over

179
00:06:36,877 --> 00:06:37,544
jta where we listen to

180
00:06:37,544 --> 00:06:38,679
questions. But one thing I

181
00:06:38,679 --> 00:06:39,380
want to say is leadership is

182
00:06:39,380 --> 00:06:41,780
about responsibility. I will

183
00:06:43,451 --> 00:06:44,185
say that I here the residents,

184
00:06:44,185 --> 00:06:45,519
I hear the emails and see the

185
00:06:45,519 --> 00:06:47,519
emails coming through

186
00:06:49,623 --> 00:06:50,625
connection. Plus, it does work

187
00:06:50,625 --> 00:06:51,659
and jta is changing the scope

188
00:06:51,659 --> 00:06:52,326
of it, but they will not be

189
00:06:52,326 --> 00:06:53,127
getting rid of connection.

190
00:06:53,127 --> 00:06:55,996
Plus and I wanted to make sure

191
00:06:55,996 --> 00:06:57,164
that we understood that

192
00:06:57,164 --> 00:07:00,340

195
00:07:01,602 --> 00:07:03,771
admit some steps from what I

196
00:07:03,771 --> 00:07:05,740
saw. Mistakes were made. But

197
00:07:05,740 --> 00:07:07,308
what jta doing is trying to

198
00:07:07,308 --> 00:07:08,900

235
00:08:05,650 --> 00:08:06,100
about 5 minutes worth of quick

236
00:08:06,100 --> 00:08:08,336
comments, first and foremost,

237
00:08:08,336 --> 00:08:09,360
like to thank the council and

238
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:09,603
the mayor's office for their

239
00:08:09,603 --> 00:08:11,603
continued cooperation

240
00:08:12,273 --> 00:08:12,940
throughout the year. From the

241
00:08:12,940 --> 00:08:14,940
spectrum perspective, we've

242
00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:16,978
had a very good year in terms

243
00:08:16,978 --> 00:08:17,712
of providing oversight and

244
00:08:17,712 --> 00:08:18,312
turn improve the efficiency of

245
00:08:18,312 --> 00:08:20,712
the of the consolidated

246
00:08:22,416 --> 00:08:23,150
government. As you know, my

247
00:08:23,150 --> 00:08:25,453
terms of for your appointment,

248
00:08:25,453 --> 00:08:29,490
it's up in MARCH next year or

249
00:08:29,490 --> 00:08:30,124
this year, rather in

250
00:08:30,124 --> 00:08:32,124
Twenty-twenty 6. And I've

251
00:08:33,361 --> 00:08:33,928
asked for a another 4 years.

252
00:08:33,928 --> 00:08:34,628
The Inspector General

253
00:08:34,628 --> 00:08:35,362
selection retention committee

254
00:08:35,362 --> 00:08:36,300
has agreed to that has to come

255
00:08:36,300 --> 00:08:39,267
before you as a council to

256
00:08:39,267 --> 00:08:40,401
approve another 4 years should

257
00:08:40,401 --> 00:08:41,735
be worthy of note that this is

258
00:08:41,735 --> 00:08:43,505
the first time as part general

259
00:08:43,505 --> 00:08:45,440
has asked actually lasted for

260
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,107
unable to make it to the

261
00:08:46,107 --> 00:08:46,741
report faces. So I'm pretty

262
00:08:46,741 --> 00:08:49,141
depressed myself for that

263
00:08:51,111 --> 00:08:52,147
accomplishment. The success of

264
00:08:52,147 --> 00:08:53,915
our office is all about the

265
00:08:53,915 --> 00:08:54,582
people. So I'd like to take my

266
00:08:54,582 --> 00:08:56,284
minutes that I have to talk

267
00:08:56,284 --> 00:08:56,951
about a couple of our folks in

268
00:08:56,951 --> 00:08:58,486
accomplishment that they've

269
00:08:58,486 --> 00:09:00,421
had over the course of last

270
00:09:00,421 --> 00:09:03,240
year. First and foremost as my

271
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,590
deputy inspector general, MR.

272
00:09:05,590 --> 00:09:07,228
Examples. Rick is a an expert.

273
00:09:07,228 --> 00:09:07,962
Many things and his expertise

274
00:09:07,962 --> 00:09:09,630
is recognized. He was asked to

275
00:09:09,630 --> 00:09:11,633
come to our go to San Diego

276
00:09:11,633 --> 00:09:13,167
for the National Conference of

277
00:09:13,167 --> 00:09:15,167
the Association inspector

278
00:09:15,670 --> 00:09:17,472
General's and speak to that

279
00:09:17,472 --> 00:09:18,139
conference. So NOVEMBER of

280
00:09:18,139 --> 00:09:19,273
this year. This past year,

281
00:09:19,273 --> 00:09:20,909
rather, Rick went and gave a

282
00:09:20,909 --> 00:09:23,909
speech on a public relations

283
00:09:24,579 --> 00:09:25,212
for oversight professionals is

284
00:09:25,212 --> 00:09:27,148
very well-received. Got a

285
00:09:27,148 --> 00:09:28,916
great deal of feedback.

286
00:09:28,916 --> 00:09:29,584
Positive feedback. And it's

287
00:09:29,584 --> 00:09:31,919
it's nice to know that the

288
00:09:31,919 --> 00:09:34,220
city has an asset like that in

289
00:09:34,220 --> 00:09:35,289
the office that we're able to

290
00:09:35,289 --> 00:09:35,924
reach out to it you know,

291
00:09:35,924 --> 00:09:37,580
leverage his expertise in

292
00:09:37,580 --> 00:09:37,692
front of the city's victims.

293
00:09:37,692 --> 00:09:40,692
So I'd like to recognize

294
00:09:41,595 --> 00:09:44,632
wreck. Next is is my creation

295
00:09:44,632 --> 00:09:45,299
manager MISS Christina It's

296
00:09:45,299 --> 00:09:47,502
got to does many things for

297
00:09:47,502 --> 00:09:48,736
the office as the creation

298
00:09:48,736 --> 00:09:50,237
manager. Again, she's

299
00:09:50,237 --> 00:09:53,237
recognized by your peers and

300
00:09:53,274 --> 00:09:54,475
was invited 2 statewide peer

301
00:09:54,475 --> 00:09:55,176
reviews for accreditation for

302
00:09:55,176 --> 00:09:57,178
the Florida Law Enforcement

303
00:09:57,178 --> 00:09:57,879
Commission for Nation, which

304
00:09:57,879 --> 00:10:00,470
is a very big deal. Again, we

305
00:10:00,470 --> 00:10:00,681
have that in house expertise

306
00:10:00,681 --> 00:10:03,681
where we have someone is

307
00:10:03,918 --> 00:10:04,652
considered to be an expert in

308
00:10:04,652 --> 00:10:05,586
our office who's been asked to

309
00:10:05,586 --> 00:10:06,287
go out and share expertise

310
00:10:06,287 --> 00:10:09,657
with the rest of the states.

311
00:10:09,657 --> 00:10:10,325
That's that's very impressive.

312
00:10:10,325 --> 00:10:10,925
And the last person like to

313
00:10:10,925 --> 00:10:12,293
recognize is my senior

314
00:10:12,293 --> 00:10:14,128
investigator, Brandon King.

315
00:10:14,128 --> 00:10:15,960
Brent is just incredible work

316
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:15,730
this year. So this

317
00:10:15,730 --> 00:10:17,730
investigation, you've all

318
00:10:19,567 --> 00:10:20,268
pretty to you've seen and MR.

319
00:10:20,268 --> 00:10:21,936
King because of expertise in

320
00:10:21,936 --> 00:10:24,271
because of his reputation. The

321
00:10:24,271 --> 00:10:26,708
city by a request from the fbi

322
00:10:26,708 --> 00:10:27,408
for Brennan to be part of the

323
00:10:27,408 --> 00:10:29,808
major procurement Task force

324
00:10:30,512 --> 00:10:31,279
with the fbi. So we've entered

325
00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:33,148
into you with the fbi that the

326
00:10:33,148 --> 00:10:35,820
mayor signed this past year.

327
00:10:35,820 --> 00:10:35,916
That makes Brandon a task

328
00:10:35,916 --> 00:10:38,916
force officer. What that does

329
00:10:39,870 --> 00:10:39,987
for us is it gives I believe,

330
00:10:39,987 --> 00:10:42,987
will access to federal systems

331
00:10:43,724 --> 00:10:44,458
and allows us to do a lot more

332
00:10:44,458 --> 00:10:45,626
comprehensive analysis on some

333
00:10:45,626 --> 00:10:46,794
of the subject our

334
00:10:46,794 --> 00:10:47,362
investigations and his

335
00:10:47,362 --> 00:10:48,996
expertise again being

336
00:10:48,996 --> 00:10:50,798
recognized. He's the only

337
00:10:50,798 --> 00:10:51,499
inspector general from the

338
00:10:51,499 --> 00:10:53,167
city level. That's on a task

339
00:10:53,167 --> 00:10:56,767
force. I'm aware of. So that's

340
00:10:57,238 --> 00:10:57,938
pretty impressive for him. I

341
00:10:57,938 --> 00:10:59,807
provide looked copy of report

342
00:10:59,807 --> 00:11:00,508

345
00:11:04,345 --> 00:11:05,120
questions on the report? I

346
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:05,746

00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:07,782
can certainly for questions to

349
00:11:07,782 --> 00:11:08,349
my office. We knew that

350
00:11:08,349 --> 00:11:10,118
chancellor as soon as

351
00:11:10,118 --> 00:11:12,518
possible. Than that, I'm

352
00:11:12,853 --> 00:11:15,253
available for questions. All

353
00:11:18,726 --> 00:11:20,728
right, Doctor Salem. Thank

354
00:11:20,728 --> 00:11:21,362
you, MR. PRESIDENT, I just

355
00:11:21,362 --> 00:11:24,362
wanted to stand and thank

356
00:11:24,766 --> 00:11:25,433
MISTER The cell and his staff.

357
00:11:25,433 --> 00:11:26,100
>> I had the opportunity to

358
00:11:26,100 --> 00:11:29,100
work very closely with him

359
00:11:29,571 --> 00:11:30,305
when I was PRESIDENT

360
00:11:30,305 --> 00:11:32,306
Occasionally interact with him

361
00:11:32,306 --> 00:11:34,476
and his staff, they are very

362
00:11:34,476 --> 00:11:35,176
professional and they are very

363
00:11:35,176 --> 00:11:36,760
independent, which is I think

364
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,476
clearly needed in this

365
00:11:40,147 --> 00:11:40,815
environment. Very excited that

366
00:11:40,815 --> 00:11:41,983
he's hopefully going to be

00:11:41,983 --> 00:11:44,118
around here another 4 years

368
00:11:44,118 --> 00:11:46,254

00:17:56,791 --> 00:17:57,492
that had several community

570
00:17:57,492 --> 00:17:59,892
meetings where the community

571
00:18:01,463 --> 00:18:03,498
come out and from the

572
00:18:03,498 --> 00:18:05,333
onslaught of this. There was

573
00:18:05,333 --> 00:18:05,967
many, many that was an

574
00:18:05,967 --> 00:18:07,301
opposition. There was an

575
00:18:07,301 --> 00:18:10,301
agreement that was made with

576
00:18:13,141 --> 00:18:13,808
community down the road, too.

577
00:18:13,808 --> 00:18:16,208
Basically redo their picnic

578
00:18:17,713 --> 00:18:19,130
table and and slide. So that

579
00:18:19,130 --> 00:18:21,413
basically change that one

580
00:18:22,830 --> 00:18:22,884
particular development. But to

581
00:18:22,884 --> 00:18:26,484
give you a better context. So

582
00:18:28,490 --> 00:18:31,659
what this is this road here is

583
00:18:31,659 --> 00:18:33,695
basically a where this

584
00:18:33,695 --> 00:18:34,662
development is going as a

585
00:18:34,662 --> 00:18:37,620
waterfront community. It's got

586
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,632
41 half acre. Lots on on this

587
00:18:42,203 --> 00:18:42,904
river. He's got 32, one acre

588
00:18:42,904 --> 00:18:46,504
lots on this river. He's got

589
00:18:47,175 --> 00:18:49,575
1, 2 acre lot. He's got 1, 3,

590
00:18:51,412 --> 00:18:54,480
3 acre, lots. It's got one 4

591
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,484
acre lot, 1, 5 acre lot one, 6

592
00:18:56,484 --> 00:19:00,684
acre lot. And at the end of

593
00:19:02,524 --> 00:19:03,224
the road, that is the same

594
00:19:03,224 --> 00:19:06,594
developer this to do. This is

595
00:19:06,594 --> 00:19:09,594
putting in over 70 rld 100. So

596
00:19:11,199 --> 00:19:13,968
it they hold road on the

597
00:19:13,968 --> 00:19:15,803
waterfront. Is based on the

598
00:19:15,803 --> 00:19:16,504
larger lots and to come into

599
00:19:16,504 --> 00:19:18,640
Tuesday in what the community

600
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,809
was saying was we're not

601
00:19:20,809 --> 00:19:21,442
saying no to this. We want

602
00:19:21,442 --> 00:19:23,442
something compatible with

603
00:19:24,846 --> 00:19:26,448
larger. Lots on on the water.

604
00:19:26,448 --> 00:19:29,151
So, yes, it's a conventional

605
00:19:29,151 --> 00:19:30,485
zoning or you can't do that.

606
00:19:30,485 --> 00:19:33,210
And so that actually what the

607
00:19:33,210 --> 00:19:35,623
issue is, does it say wrong so

608
00:19:35,623 --> 00:19:37,825
on and needs to be a put that

609
00:19:37,825 --> 00:19:38,693
allows for the mixed luncheon.

610
00:19:38,693 --> 00:19:42,697
So it needs to go back and be

611
00:19:42,697 --> 00:19:44,766
done correctly. So I'm not

612
00:19:44,766 --> 00:19:47,766
going support this and, you

613
00:19:55,677 --> 00:19:58,677
know, looking at. Whole this

614
00:20:00,182 --> 00:20:02,584
whole zone. You know, yes. Rld

615
00:20:02,584 --> 00:20:04,984
60. That's that's density that

616
00:20:06,988 --> 00:20:09,824
that's bn push out there. But

617
00:20:09,824 --> 00:20:10,525
Rld 100 is still residential.

618
00:20:10,525 --> 00:20:14,125
Low density and we can't tend

619
00:20:15,363 --> 00:20:16,932
to get just not focused on

620
00:20:16,932 --> 00:20:17,599
what is allowed and

621
00:20:17,599 --> 00:20:19,333
residential low density is

622
00:20:19,333 --> 00:20:23,533
allowed in. So to say no Real

623
00:20:24,305 --> 00:20:27,709
d. And 60 or to 100 and say 6,

624
00:20:27,709 --> 00:20:28,443
the only allow it is a

625
00:20:28,443 --> 00:20:30,843
disservice and is not

626
00:20:34,516 --> 00:20:36,516
compatible community that

627
00:20:38,453 --> 00:20:41,453
where the money is being 42

628
00:20:42,290 --> 00:20:42,924
for their little picnic table.

629
00:20:42,924 --> 00:20:46,524
They are not even on the

630
00:20:47,662 --> 00:20:48,330
water. There's 14 acres that's

631
00:20:48,330 --> 00:20:51,330
between them and the water.

632
00:20:53,602 --> 00:20:56,700
And so not the same situation

633
00:20:56,700 --> 00:20:57,972
all the way down. What was

634
00:20:57,972 --> 00:21:00,372
already there are established.

635
00:21:00,508 --> 00:21:04,108
So, you know, looking at this

636
00:21:05,180 --> 00:21:08,780
and what was stated You see

637
00:21:09,351 --> 00:21:10,952
that basically we got except

638
00:21:10,952 --> 00:21:13,352
rld, whatever low-density had

639
00:21:13,788 --> 00:21:16,188
density or, you know,

640
00:21:16,224 --> 00:21:18,293
basically get out no. I'm not

641
00:21:18,293 --> 00:21:20,728
going to be quiet. I'm not

642
00:21:20,728 --> 00:21:22,530
going to accept it. Up.

643
00:21:22,530 --> 00:21:24,398
Communities not deserve that

644
00:21:24,398 --> 00:21:26,634
type of treatment to wear.

645
00:21:26,634 --> 00:21:27,636
They're told to be quiet, shut

646
00:21:27,636 --> 00:21:30,371
down, shut up or get out. No,

647
00:21:30,371 --> 00:21:31,673
that's not going happen. One

648
00:21:31,673 --> 00:21:33,374
of the speakers will barber

649
00:21:33,374 --> 00:21:36,374
Broward that come here and

650
00:21:36,878 --> 00:21:37,579
spoke and to be told that the

651
00:21:37,579 --> 00:21:41,779
river that this was on as the

652
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:42,717
Broward River. Polin Bonaparte

653
00:21:42,717 --> 00:21:44,319
Broward Bridge, which is the

654
00:21:44,319 --> 00:21:47,188
dames point bridge. You know,

655
00:21:47,188 --> 00:21:48,490
this is a disservice to that

656
00:21:48,490 --> 00:21:52,260
family to say except the U.S.

657
00:21:52,260 --> 00:21:55,563
Or get out. That that's our

658
00:21:55,563 --> 00:21:59,334
our point on this. That is not

659
00:21:59,334 --> 00:22:01,734
compatible and strongly say

660
00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:02,771
vote is down. Thank you. All

661
00:22:02,771 --> 00:22:05,171
right. Thank PRESIDENT Carter

662
00:22:11,379 --> 00:22:12,113
g. Think of this PRESIDENT.

663
00:22:12,113 --> 00:22:12,814
I'm somebody just go stand up,

664
00:22:12,814 --> 00:22:15,983
say I stand with the District

665
00:22:15,983 --> 00:22:19,583
Council person. When I ran for

666
00:22:19,787 --> 00:22:20,422
council back in 2019, of

667
00:22:20,422 --> 00:22:23,291
course, I was running at

668
00:22:23,291 --> 00:22:25,426
large, not visit every part of

669
00:22:25,426 --> 00:22:28,426
Jacksonville and one of my

670
00:22:29,130 --> 00:22:32,730
stops was. On the North This

671
00:22:35,136 --> 00:22:37,973
is the lady Leslie was more.

672
00:22:37,973 --> 00:22:39,274
This more. Is as speaker?

673
00:22:39,274 --> 00:22:42,144
Please be since the 2, the

674
00:22:42,144 --> 00:22:44,212
extremes of zoning this, the

675
00:22:44,212 --> 00:22:47,212
smaller districts not are the

676
00:22:47,849 --> 00:22:50,849
smaller units next to. The

677
00:22:55,790 --> 00:22:57,124
larger lots. Are so abundant

678
00:22:57,124 --> 00:23:00,124
in that district out there.

679
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,799
And I told I would. And I've

680
00:23:03,799 --> 00:23:04,499
tried to hold tight to that

681
00:23:04,499 --> 00:23:06,167
over the years. I've been on

682
00:23:06,167 --> 00:23:09,767
the council since then and I

683
00:23:09,805 --> 00:23:10,338
will stick to it tonight.

684
00:23:10,338 --> 00:23:11,500
Look, every part of

685
00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:13,500
Jacksonville's district is

686
00:23:13,808 --> 00:23:16,808
different. If you go to

687
00:23:16,944 --> 00:23:17,846
southwest side of

688
00:23:17,846 --> 00:23:18,513
Jacksonville, that's where

689
00:23:18,513 --> 00:23:20,615
you'll find the ranch is in

690
00:23:20,615 --> 00:23:24,452
the Cowboys. If you go to the

691
00:23:24,452 --> 00:23:25,387
North side, you'll find they

692
00:23:25,387 --> 00:23:26,540
have their own traditions and

693
00:23:26,540 --> 00:23:29,540
cultures and say market has

694
00:23:29,791 --> 00:23:30,759
their own and and the beaches

695
00:23:30,759 --> 00:23:31,460
has the beaches seen? I mean,

696
00:23:31,460 --> 00:23:32,727
every part of Texas different

697
00:23:32,727 --> 00:23:35,727
were big town. Sometimes i

698
00:23:35,998 --> 00:23:36,732
think would be great things.

699
00:23:36,732 --> 00:23:37,999
Somehow we can all get to know

700
00:23:37,999 --> 00:23:38,867
each other a little better

701
00:23:38,867 --> 00:23:41,867
understand. But every part of

702
00:23:42,337 --> 00:23:44,380
town is about. Might be too

703
00:23:44,380 --> 00:23:46,874
late now. But might not be a

704
00:23:46,874 --> 00:23:50,178
bad idea of. We took a a few

705
00:23:50,178 --> 00:23:51,446
days and Torah teach others

706
00:23:51,446 --> 00:23:52,470
districts. And so we can see

707
00:23:52,470 --> 00:23:54,447
what our districts are

708
00:23:57,653 --> 00:24:00,653
actually about. But I just

709
00:24:01,122 --> 00:24:02,957
have to I want keep true, too.

710
00:24:02,957 --> 00:24:04,393
The promise I made to MISS

711
00:24:04,393 --> 00:24:07,993
More and I will of district

712
00:24:08,196 --> 00:24:10,596
councilmember out there. In

713
00:24:11,566 --> 00:24:12,267
those that area. I know it Not

714
00:24:12,267 --> 00:24:14,102
as well as you do, sir, but I

715
00:24:14,102 --> 00:24:16,237
do hope that district they're

716
00:24:16,237 --> 00:24:18,139
very well and I support and I

717
00:24:18,139 --> 00:24:18,807
hope that everybody else here,

718
00:24:18,807 --> 00:24:20,208
we'll support the district

719
00:24:20,208 --> 00:24:23,440
COUNCILMAN As well. Just like

720
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,180
I know you want them. You want

721
00:24:25,180 --> 00:24:25,880
him to support you. Thank you.

722
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,880
All right. Thank you. Colonel

723
00:24:29,684 --> 00:24:32,840
Miller. Thank you, MR.

724
00:24:32,754 --> 00:24:33,354
PRESIDENT to the PRESIDENT

725
00:24:33,354 --> 00:24:35,754
Normally because of the

726
00:24:37,225 --> 00:24:40,225
process that. These bills go

727
00:24:41,229 --> 00:24:42,130
through an extensive input

728
00:24:42,130 --> 00:24:43,865
that's that is obtained

729
00:24:43,865 --> 00:24:46,601
through the process. And in

730
00:24:46,601 --> 00:24:47,302
this case and just meant by

731
00:24:47,302 --> 00:24:49,302
local community. However,

732
00:24:51,572 --> 00:24:53,942
playground. Offered, I think,

733
00:24:53,942 --> 00:24:54,676
is a good gesture. But I'm but

734
00:24:54,676 --> 00:24:55,810
I'm not sure in a dress is all

735
00:24:55,810 --> 00:24:57,810
the things that

736
00:24:58,213 --> 00:25:00,613
>> the District Council member

737
00:25:01,382 --> 00:25:02,718
was concerned about. And so

738
00:25:02,718 --> 00:25:05,718
even know normally I would

739
00:25:05,754 --> 00:25:08,623
support ease because they are

740
00:25:08,623 --> 00:25:10,580
strong with that. It through

741
00:25:10,580 --> 00:25:10,792
the process because the

742
00:25:10,792 --> 00:25:13,192
district councilmember feel so

743
00:25:15,296 --> 00:25:17,899
strongly about this. I will be

744
00:25:17,899 --> 00:25:18,500
supporting his position on

745
00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:21,500
this and will be voting

746
00:25:21,536 --> 00:25:22,704
voting. No. Thank you.

747
00:25:22,704 --> 00:25:23,438
>> All right. There are no

748
00:25:23,438 --> 00:25:24,138
other members in the queue. So

750
00:25:36,117 --> 00:25:38,117

751
00:25:38,719 --> 00:25:39,454
>> 13 yeas, 4 nays.

00:32:25,894 --> 00:32:26,595
about district 11 councilmen

940
00:32:26,595 --> 00:32:28,995
showing disrespect towards my

941
00:32:29,732 --> 00:32:31,466
COUNCILMAN District 2. He said

942
00:32:31,466 --> 00:32:33,635
the fact is that people don't

943
00:32:33,635 --> 00:32:35,337
want density that should go

944
00:32:35,337 --> 00:32:36,400
somewhere else. He also showed

945
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,139
his frustration saying I'm

946
00:32:38,139 --> 00:32:39,708
getting fed up with it. I feel

947
00:32:39,708 --> 00:32:42,108
this behavior was unethical

948
00:32:42,644 --> 00:32:44,120
and should not happen again

949
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:44,646
when this behavior is allowed.

950
00:32:44,646 --> 00:32:45,480
It brings down the whole

951
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,480
council in front of the

952
00:32:49,852 --> 00:32:50,686
citizens who to represent them

953
00:32:50,686 --> 00:32:51,386
and not disrespect them. Good

954
00:32:51,386 --> 00:32:52,921
night and thank you for your

955
00:32:52,921 --> 00:32:55,921
time. Thank you. MISS Kathleen

956
00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:58,894
Prayer.

957
00:32:58,894 --> 00:33:01,894
>> My name is Kathleen Prayer.

958
00:33:02,630 --> 00:33:02,764
My information somehow. Out

959
00:33:02,764 --> 00:33:04,699
with the old and in with the

960
00:33:04,699 --> 00:33:08,237
is not a cliche. It is a

961
00:33:08,237 --> 00:33:10,237
profound problem. Proverb.

962
00:33:11,206 --> 00:33:11,840
Like the out is giving blanket

963
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:12,574
approval for projects and

964
00:33:12,574 --> 00:33:14,974
developments without regard to

965
00:33:14,977 --> 00:33:15,544
the neighborhoods. Impact,

966
00:33:15,544 --> 00:33:17,446
especially when those

967
00:33:17,446 --> 00:33:18,480
neighborhoods have already

968
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,490
just because land use and

969
00:33:21,490 --> 00:33:21,717
zoning codes MAY allow event

970
00:33:21,717 --> 00:33:23,986
if they don't specifically

971
00:33:23,986 --> 00:33:24,687
deny particular project does

972
00:33:24,687 --> 00:33:26,540
not mean that they're a good

973
00:33:26,540 --> 00:33:28,454
fit for the neighborhoods.

974
00:33:28,957 --> 00:33:31,626
Therefore, it is now in to

975
00:33:31,626 --> 00:33:33,662
actually review in and force

976
00:33:33,662 --> 00:33:34,296
and codify the 1995

977
00:33:34,296 --> 00:33:35,697
neighborhood that Bill of

978
00:33:35,697 --> 00:33:36,397
rights. So that controversial

979
00:33:36,397 --> 00:33:39,167
projects like the morgue, the

980
00:33:39,167 --> 00:33:40,201
slaughterhouse, the Old Depot

981
00:33:40,201 --> 00:33:42,437
and the like will now merely

982
00:33:42,437 --> 00:33:43,305
bement lessons taught about

983
00:33:43,305 --> 00:33:46,305
bad policy. In fact, the

984
00:33:47,420 --> 00:33:48,277
Council connect this ordinance

985
00:33:48,277 --> 00:33:49,945
right away, codify right away

986
00:33:49,945 --> 00:33:50,612
before the plans for the new

987
00:33:50,612 --> 00:33:54,212
are written in any kind of

988
00:33:54,550 --> 00:33:56,785
back room. Also out is using

989
00:33:56,785 --> 00:33:57,486
the budget as a magical

990
00:33:57,486 --> 00:33:59,488
bottomless treasure chest to

991
00:33:59,488 --> 00:34:02,488
pay for pet projects, pet

992
00:34:03,324 --> 00:34:05,861
staff and pet non for profits

993
00:34:05,861 --> 00:34:06,495
and ngo's. Instead in with the

994
00:34:06,495 --> 00:34:08,430
responsible, transparent

995
00:34:08,430 --> 00:34:10,430
stewardship taxpayers monies

996
00:34:10,666 --> 00:34:12,568
because that is everyone's

997
00:34:12,568 --> 00:34:13,669
job. This can start right

998
00:34:13,669 --> 00:34:15,670
away. Now, using any savings

999
00:34:15,670 --> 00:34:19,270
found from any line item to

1000
00:34:19,641 --> 00:34:20,776
pay down our city's debt?

1001
00:34:20,776 --> 00:34:22,711
Finally, it is definitely in

1002
00:34:22,711 --> 00:34:23,746
in 2026. To listen to the

1003
00:34:23,746 --> 00:34:24,446
citizens who come to each

1004
00:34:24,446 --> 00:34:26,448
meeting to petition this

1005
00:34:26,448 --> 00:34:28,250
council for any redress

1006
00:34:28,250 --> 00:34:28,951
grievances. This would mean

1007
00:34:28,951 --> 00:34:30,318
giving your full and serious

1008
00:34:30,318 --> 00:34:32,321
attention to these grievances

1009
00:34:32,321 --> 00:34:34,322
with about a dress or peas

1010
00:34:34,322 --> 00:34:36,125
them to the best of your

1011
00:34:36,125 --> 00:34:36,859
ability. It also means

1012
00:34:36,859 --> 00:34:39,259
respecting other council ments

1013
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,897
and their districts. But it's

1014
00:34:41,897 --> 00:34:43,966
also definitely out to

1015
00:34:43,966 --> 00:34:44,866
tolerate spiteful inflammatory

1016
00:34:44,866 --> 00:34:46,101
or threatening words of or

1017
00:34:46,101 --> 00:34:47,836
actions from bitter people

1018
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:49,836
suffering from suicidal

1019
00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:53,342
empathy or grandiose. He goes

1020
00:34:53,342 --> 00:34:54,420
if that means compromising

1021
00:34:54,420 --> 00:34:54,743
order. Prudence for civility

1022
00:34:54,743 --> 00:34:56,377
when conducting the business

1023
00:34:56,377 --> 00:34:59,377
of the public's business. Not

1024
00:35:00,382 --> 00:35:01,383
to mention how outages to be

1025
00:35:01,383 --> 00:35:02,851
unethical, unbiased during

1026
00:35:02,851 --> 00:35:04,652
quasi judicial meetings like

1027
00:35:04,652 --> 00:35:06,550
what happened in the Easy

1028
00:35:06,550 --> 00:35:06,655
committee meeting one council

1029
00:35:06,655 --> 00:35:09,550
when the COUNCILMAN For

1030
00:35:09,792 --> 00:35:10,526
district allow 11 disrespected

1031
00:35:10,526 --> 00:35:13,526
the councilmen and citizens of

1032
00:35:14,329 --> 00:35:17,165
district want to. But that

1033
00:35:17,165 --> 00:35:19,565
said, just think about 2026.

1034
00:35:20,402 --> 00:35:21,102
The possibilities.

1035
00:35:21,102 --> 00:35:24,102
>> Thank u next up, mystical

1036
00:35:33,248 --> 00:35:35,248

1800 free trees to the public.

1061
00:36:21,964 --> 00:36:24,964
This is the largest single

1062
00:36:26,335 --> 00:36:27,335
initiative to provide trees on

1063
00:36:27,335 --> 00:36:28,300
public public initiative for

1064
00:36:28,300 --> 00:36:28,671
private property. And we're

1065
00:36:28,671 --> 00:36:31,671
really thrilled to do this

1066
00:36:32,607 --> 00:36:33,274
with the city. Our 1800 trees

1067
00:36:33,274 --> 00:36:36,274

1068
00:36:36,812 --> 00:36:37,445
and Schumer do Kramer Dulls

1069
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:39,445
Southern Crabapple, bald

1070
00:36:40,415 --> 00:36:41,116
cypress, Dahoon Holly, a

1071
00:36:41,116 --> 00:36:44,116
Magnolia red Maples and black

1072
00:36:44,686 --> 00:36:47,189
gums. And we're really excited

1073
00:36:47,189 --> 00:36:47,856
these trees will provide

1074
00:36:47,856 --> 00:36:50,256
significant benefits to the

1075
00:36:51,827 --> 00:36:53,796
community for the long term,

1076
00:36:53,796 --> 00:36:55,998
including and equivalent of

1077
00:36:55,998 --> 00:36:57,998
3.8, 8 million dollars in

1078
00:36:58,330 --> 00:36:58,733
total economic and

1079
00:36:58,733 --> 00:37:01,690
environmental benefits to the

1080
00:37:01,690 --> 00:37:03,469
community over 75 years, these

1081
00:37:03,938 --> 00:37:06,800
1800 trees that we will offer

1082
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:07,242
will intercept nearly

1083
00:37:07,242 --> 00:37:09,242
340 million gallons of

1084
00:37:11,313 --> 00:37:13,281
rainwater and almost

1085
00:37:13,281 --> 00:37:14,820
32 million dollars of storm

1086
00:37:14,820 --> 00:37:16,318
water will be of avoided with

1087
00:37:16,318 --> 00:37:19,318
the 1800 trees that we offer

1088
00:37:21,390 --> 00:37:23,492
for free. And we will also

1089
00:37:23,492 --> 00:37:24,293
have approximately 47.5

1090
00:37:24,293 --> 00:37:26,161
million pounds of co 2 reduced

1091
00:37:26,161 --> 00:37:27,128
with the trees that we are

1092
00:37:27,128 --> 00:37:28,330
planning here. Those are huge

1093
00:37:28,330 --> 00:37:30,432
numbers to put them in

1094
00:37:30,432 --> 00:37:32,432
perspective. The co 2

1095
00:37:34,537 --> 00:37:36,705
reduction equate too taking

1096
00:37:36,705 --> 00:37:37,706
4,600 cars off the road for a

1097
00:37:37,706 --> 00:37:40,275
full year. The storm water,

1098
00:37:40,275 --> 00:37:42,778
the rainfall excuse me would

1099
00:37:42,778 --> 00:37:44,580
fill more than 515 Olympic

1100
00:37:44,580 --> 00:37:45,247
size pools. So this is a key

1101
00:37:45,247 --> 00:37:47,647
initiative that aligns with

1102
00:37:48,718 --> 00:37:49,718
the city stewardship of

1103
00:37:49,718 --> 00:37:51,586
enhancing our community.

1104
00:37:51,586 --> 00:37:52,921
Ensuring is a strong tree

1105
00:37:52,921 --> 00:37:55,570
canopy and I'd like to call

1106
00:37:55,570 --> 00:37:57,125
out for the public's

1107
00:37:57,125 --> 00:37:58,193
awareness. The Jacksonville is

1108
00:37:58,193 --> 00:38:01,596
a tree City usa, which is an

1109
00:38:01,596 --> 00:38:02,164
amazing distinction, too.

1110
00:38:02,164 --> 00:38:04,164
Recognize the city's

1111
00:38:04,833 --> 00:38:05,568
commitment to environmental

1112
00:38:05,568 --> 00:38:07,369
stewards stewardship,

1113
00:38:07,369 --> 00:38:09,369
particularly in urban

1114
00:38:10,106 --> 00:38:13,106
forestry. That is 27 years and

1115
00:38:13,375 --> 00:38:16,211
counting. Jta is a tree line

1116
00:38:16,211 --> 00:38:17,112
usa and Unf is now a tree

1117
00:38:17,112 --> 00:38:20,112
campus. Usa. And so it's

1118
00:38:20,583 --> 00:38:21,317
really a testament to our

1119
00:38:21,317 --> 00:38:24,860
local commitment to ensuring a

1120
00:38:24,860 --> 00:38:24,820
tree canopy for generations to

1121
00:38:24,820 --> 00:38:27,820
come. We're really thrilled to

1122
00:38:28,791 --> 00:38:29,591
partner with the city with

1123
00:38:29,591 --> 00:38:31,459
jta, with csx, with the

1124
00:38:31,459 --> 00:38:33,195
Florida for service with Jack

1125
00:38:33,195 --> 00:38:33,929
Sport, with the tm and the

1126
00:38:33,929 --> 00:38:35,397

1127
00:38:35,397 --> 00:38:38,397
service to the public. So

1128
00:38:39,334 --> 00:38:40,200
thank you to the city for your

1129
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:40,869
support in helping to make

1130
00:38:40,869 --> 00:38:41,603
this a reality. And we're

1131
00:38:41,603 --> 00:38:43,739
excited to do it for many more

1132
00:38:43,739 --> 00:38:46,739
years to come. Thank you.

1133
00:38:48,844 --> 00:38:49,544
Thank you. Next up, hansard.

1134
00:38:49,544 --> 00:38:51,944
>> And then Samantha serious

1144
00:39:33,722 --> 00:39:36,122
community. Thank you. I'm

1145
00:39:36,258 --> 00:39:39,858
thankful that. The news of you

1146
00:39:39,894 --> 00:39:42,894
serve. Well, not be going

1147
00:39:44,990 --> 00:39:46,235
away. That's the good news.

1148
00:39:46,235 --> 00:39:50,435
The not so good news. Is a

1149
00:39:50,673 --> 00:39:53,673
fare hike. I understand him

1150
00:39:55,770 --> 00:39:55,644
greatly understanding about.

1151
00:39:55,644 --> 00:39:57,512
Finance is going up.

1152
00:39:57,512 --> 00:39:59,912
Everybody's finances going up.

1153
00:40:00,282 --> 00:40:02,682
But with this financial

1154
00:40:04,686 --> 00:40:06,686
increase. $6 to $10. It's

1155
00:40:09,258 --> 00:40:10,590
like. When Saturday the

1156
00:40:10,590 --> 00:40:10,893
temperature was 80 degrees and

1157
00:40:10,893 --> 00:40:12,728
all of a sudden a couple of

1158
00:40:12,728 --> 00:40:14,530
days later was down to making

1159
00:40:14,530 --> 00:40:18,730
a the 50's. It was called to

1160
00:40:20,569 --> 00:40:22,371
shot. Our bodies. It's the

1161
00:40:22,371 --> 00:40:25,371
same way with price increase.

1162
00:40:27,976 --> 00:40:29,311
As it most of either work pool

1163
00:40:29,311 --> 00:40:32,114
time or even more part-time,

1164
00:40:32,114 --> 00:40:35,840
such as myself or are just on

1165
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,684
a fixed income. It's hard to

1166
00:40:38,687 --> 00:40:42,858
make ends meet as it is. We

1167
00:40:42,858 --> 00:40:45,858
hope and pray. That solution

1168
00:40:45,961 --> 00:40:48,961
will be worked on. Together.

1169
00:40:52,802 --> 00:40:53,502
With j Tack. Jta and with the

1170
00:40:53,502 --> 00:40:56,238
And finally, I would like to

1171
00:40:56,238 --> 00:40:58,238
say.

1172
00:40:59,241 --> 00:41:02,241
>> We far better together and

1173
00:41:02,311 --> 00:41:05,911
we ever will separate. I think

1174
00:41:06,810 --> 00:41:10,485
you. My time is up and I think

1175
00:41:10,485 --> 00:41:11,387
you for yours.

1176
00:41:11,387 --> 00:41:12,870
>> All right. Thank you. I

1177
00:41:12,870 --> 00:41:13,855
have a council member in the

1178
00:41:13,855 --> 00:41:14,556
Queue. Councilmember areas

1179
00:41:14,556 --> 00:41:17,556
join speak. Yes, Sir. MISTER

1180
00:41:17,959 --> 00:41:18,693
PRESIDENT, thank you for this.

1181
00:41:18,693 --> 00:41:21,630
>> So very quick. I know words

1182
00:41:21,630 --> 00:41:21,897
matter and I said something I

1183
00:41:21,897 --> 00:41:22,998
shouldn't said last week

1184
00:41:22,998 --> 00:41:23,665
committee. So I want to

1185
00:41:23,665 --> 00:41:26,568
apologize not only Mr, Gay,

1186
00:41:26,568 --> 00:41:27,769
but also community in general.

1187
00:41:27,769 --> 00:41:28,737
What I said really affected

1188
00:41:28,737 --> 00:41:29,638
every but lot of people that

1189
00:41:29,638 --> 00:41:33,800
were here. And I just want let

1190
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:33,675
you guys know that I misspoke.

1191
00:41:33,675 --> 00:41:34,876
My frustration clarity. We

1192
00:41:34,876 --> 00:41:35,778
need more houses in

1193
00:41:35,778 --> 00:41:36,478
Jacksonville and a lot of

1194
00:41:36,478 --> 00:41:39,478
people are building houses in

1195
00:41:39,548 --> 00:41:40,649
the South side and all

1196
00:41:40,649 --> 00:41:42,510
different parts of town. And

1197
00:41:42,510 --> 00:41:42,584
we need more developments.

1198
00:41:42,584 --> 00:41:43,219
Happening now is my

1199
00:41:43,219 --> 00:41:45,619
frustration. I want more

1200
00:41:45,788 --> 00:41:47,923
houses will be built. So but I

1201
00:41:47,923 --> 00:41:48,657
misspoke and I'm a human

1202
00:41:48,657 --> 00:41:51,559
being, I on the action on said

1203
00:41:51,559 --> 00:41:52,161
the way I said it. But I

1204
00:41:52,161 --> 00:41:52,828
definitely am for more

1205
00:41:52,828 --> 00:41:54,262
development because we need

1206
00:41:54,262 --> 00:41:57,262
more houses in general and

1207
00:41:57,399 --> 00:41:58,367
Jackson. So my apologies to

1208
00:41:58,367 --> 00:41:59,340
you, sir. But also to

1209
00:41:59,340 --> 00:41:59,769
everybody out here watching

1210
00:41:59,769 --> 00:42:01,670
and that's here. So I might I

1211
00:42:01,670 --> 00:42:02,338
really do mean it. Thank you.

1212
00:42:02,338 --> 00:42:05,474
Thank you, MR. For late, if

1213
00:42:05,474 --> 00:42:06,775
you want to continue.

1214
00:42:06,775 --> 00:42:07,476
>> next, several be Samantha

1215
00:42:07,476 --> 00:42:09,678
Series the next 5 after that.

1216
00:42:09,678 --> 00:42:10,645
Please start coming down.

1217
00:42:10,645 --> 00:42:13,450
Wells Todd Sherry Mathis,

1218
00:42:15,484 --> 00:42:16,218
Taylor, full land. Juror and

1219
00:42:16,218 --> 00:42:19,218
Ronnie Bursa. Please make your

1220
00:42:19,555 --> 00:42:20,589
way down. If I call your name

1221
00:42:20,589 --> 00:42:21,757
series.

1222
00:42:21,757 --> 00:42:22,458
>> Samantha Series address on

1223
00:42:22,458 --> 00:42:24,526
file. I'm just here today to

1224
00:42:24,526 --> 00:42:25,761
remind you all. I do

1225
00:42:25,761 --> 00:42:26,461
understand development is

1226
00:42:26,461 --> 00:42:27,630
important, but I think when

1227
00:42:27,630 --> 00:42:27,696
you have responsible

1228
00:42:27,696 --> 00:42:30,960
development, I think that

1229
00:42:31,300 --> 00:42:32,401
would be the most. Proper way

1230
00:42:32,401 --> 00:42:34,470
to go about it. We have many

1231
00:42:34,470 --> 00:42:36,572
buildings for Lee's many areas

1232
00:42:36,572 --> 00:42:37,205
that, you know, could be

1233
00:42:37,205 --> 00:42:39,241
renovated instead of just

1234
00:42:39,241 --> 00:42:41,443
building on top of new areas.

1235
00:42:41,443 --> 00:42:45,430
We can kind of look internally

1236
00:42:45,514 --> 00:42:46,648
and look for places that, you

1237
00:42:46,648 --> 00:42:47,282
know, could be renovated,

1238
00:42:47,282 --> 00:42:48,170
changed into the use. You

1239
00:42:48,170 --> 00:42:50,219
know, there are many buildings

1240
00:42:50,219 --> 00:42:52,321
that are sitting empty. Just

1241
00:42:52,321 --> 00:42:53,655
have fairly signs. There are

1242
00:42:53,655 --> 00:42:56,655
many projects that are done

1243
00:42:57,526 --> 00:42:58,593
this rezoning this the

1244
00:42:58,593 --> 00:42:59,528
different rural areas. You

1245
00:42:59,528 --> 00:43:01,496
know, I understand that we do

1246
00:43:01,496 --> 00:43:02,331
need more development, but

1247
00:43:02,331 --> 00:43:05,300
sometimes we are putting the

1248
00:43:05,300 --> 00:43:07,369
cart before the horse. I think

1249
00:43:07,369 --> 00:43:09,771
that we need to understand

1250
00:43:09,771 --> 00:43:10,472
that the way that we're

1251
00:43:10,472 --> 00:43:12,872
developing is developing our

1252
00:43:13,442 --> 00:43:15,177
land is not the proper way. We

1253
00:43:15,177 --> 00:43:16,779
are allowing these developers

1254
00:43:16,779 --> 00:43:17,880
who build as quickly as

1255
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,880
possible without any rhyme or

1256
00:43:22,351 --> 00:43:24,319
reason. I see it. I drove to

1257
00:43:24,319 --> 00:43:26,489
Tampa this past week for work

1258
00:43:26,489 --> 00:43:27,389
and watching all of the land

1259
00:43:27,389 --> 00:43:30,389
up for sale. But different

1260
00:43:31,394 --> 00:43:32,461
empty. Lots of just, you know,

1261
00:43:32,461 --> 00:43:34,196
dirt all for sale and they

1262
00:43:34,196 --> 00:43:34,897
build these buildings without

1263
00:43:34,897 --> 00:43:37,897
the need. I don't understand

1264
00:43:38,834 --> 00:43:41,403
why. We're seeing a need that

1265
00:43:41,403 --> 00:43:42,371
isn't actually there because I

1266
00:43:42,371 --> 00:43:44,306
see the empty buildings. I see

1267
00:43:44,306 --> 00:43:46,976
the empty lots. All of the

1268
00:43:46,976 --> 00:43:48,577
areas are for sale. You know,

1269
00:43:48,577 --> 00:43:49,712
I understand we do need some

1270
00:43:49,712 --> 00:43:52,281
development. But again, I use

1271
00:43:52,281 --> 00:43:52,915
irresponsible. I thing the way

1272
00:43:52,915 --> 00:43:55,915
that we're trying to work

1273
00:43:56,618 --> 00:43:57,652
with. The downtown areas

1274
00:43:57,652 --> 00:43:58,654
perfect. I think that's

1275
00:43:58,654 --> 00:43:59,422
something that we need to

1276
00:43:59,422 --> 00:44:00,156
concentrate on because there

1277
00:44:00,156 --> 00:44:02,858
are many empty buildings there

1278
00:44:02,858 --> 00:44:04,126
that could be used for

1279
00:44:04,126 --> 00:44:05,894
different things instead of

1280
00:44:05,894 --> 00:44:07,162
offices, they could be made

1281
00:44:07,162 --> 00:44:07,796
into homes like the

1282
00:44:07,796 --> 00:44:08,497
infrastructure is already

1283
00:44:08,497 --> 00:44:11,497
there. I think it's important

1284
00:44:11,767 --> 00:44:12,468
that. You know, we concentrate

1285
00:44:12,468 --> 00:44:15,468
more on working together. You

1286
00:44:15,771 --> 00:44:16,472
know, it's not the developers

1287
00:44:16,472 --> 00:44:17,606
against the people. It should

1288
00:44:17,606 --> 00:44:20,600
be developers working with

1289
00:44:20,943 --> 00:44:21,643
people. And I think it's

1290
00:44:21,643 --> 00:44:22,344
important that we concentrate

1291
00:44:22,344 --> 00:44:25,344
on working together with them

1292
00:44:26,848 --> 00:44:27,750
and having them maybe. Invest

1293
00:44:27,750 --> 00:44:29,518
in other areas before they

1294
00:44:29,518 --> 00:44:30,252
tear down different sections

1295
00:44:30,252 --> 00:44:31,530
of Jacksonville. I think there

1296
00:44:31,530 --> 00:44:31,720
are many beautiful things

1297
00:44:31,720 --> 00:44:33,122
about Jacksonville. I loved

1298
00:44:33,122 --> 00:44:35,570
hearing about the trees. I

1299
00:44:35,570 --> 00:44:36,759
think that's a wonderful

1300
00:44:36,759 --> 00:44:37,893
initiative that the woman just

1301
00:44:37,893 --> 00:44:40,196
spoke and I think we need more

1302
00:44:40,196 --> 00:44:42,931
of that rather than less of

1303
00:44:42,931 --> 00:44:45,234
that really it's hard to see

1304
00:44:45,234 --> 00:44:47,634
all the different development

1305
00:44:47,703 --> 00:44:48,937
just tearing down these trees,

1306
00:44:48,937 --> 00:44:49,671
tearing down these

1307
00:44:49,671 --> 00:44:50,539
environments for the animals.

1308
00:44:50,539 --> 00:44:53,375
No one ever talks about We

1309
00:44:53,375 --> 00:44:55,411
need more development for the

1310
00:44:55,411 --> 00:44:56,445
people coming in. What about

1311
00:44:56,445 --> 00:44:57,814
that's already there. There's

1312
00:44:57,814 --> 00:44:58,447
rd things there. There's

1313
00:44:58,447 --> 00:44:59,347
already animals. There's

1314
00:44:59,347 --> 00:45:00,716
already plants. There's

1315
00:45:00,716 --> 00:45:01,450
vegetation. There are things

1316
00:45:01,450 --> 00:45:04,450
that protect our wetlands that

1317
00:45:04,854 --> 00:45:05,454
protect our We need those

1318
00:45:05,454 --> 00:45:07,454
sayings. Florida cannot

1319
00:45:08,724 --> 00:45:10,920
survive as of concrete slab.

1320
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:11,600
And I encourage you all to

1321
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:12,528
take better care and look into

1322
00:45:12,528 --> 00:45:14,928
these rezoning requests. Thank

1323
00:45:23,500 --> 00:45:23,672
you. Thank u. Next up taught.

>> My name is wealth time.

1325
00:45:27,543 --> 00:45:29,378
Would take him down. Jax. To

1326
00:45:29,378 --> 00:45:29,912
the 19 city council members

1327
00:45:29,912 --> 00:45:32,312
into the 20th City

1328
00:45:33,482 --> 00:45:34,650
Councilmember Blake Hopper. In

1329
00:45:34,650 --> 00:45:36,752
2025, it was one city council

1330
00:45:36,752 --> 00:45:39,152
scandal after another. You

1331
00:45:40,155 --> 00:45:41,290
refuse to vote on a resolution

1332
00:45:41,290 --> 00:45:44,290
that would call for a

1333
00:45:44,593 --> 00:45:45,227
cease-fire in Gaza while

1334
00:45:45,227 --> 00:45:47,227
supporting the Zionists,

1335
00:45:48,264 --> 00:45:48,964
Israeli government. You had 3

1336
00:45:48,964 --> 00:45:50,499
young people arrested because

1337
00:45:50,499 --> 00:45:53,499
they clap during a meeting.

1338
00:45:54,170 --> 00:45:55,604
But the real reason was their

1339
00:45:55,604 --> 00:45:56,538
verbal support for a

1340
00:45:56,538 --> 00:45:58,106
cease-fire resolution. One of

1341
00:45:58,106 --> 00:46:01,106
them continues to face a

1342
00:46:02,445 --> 00:46:03,512
felony charge. You showed no

1343
00:46:03,512 --> 00:46:05,912
relief to the predominantly

1344
00:46:07,490 --> 00:46:07,717
African-American Brentwood

1345
00:46:07,717 --> 00:46:08,951
community. While a medical

1346
00:46:08,951 --> 00:46:09,852
examiner's office and more was

1347
00:46:09,852 --> 00:46:12,321
built right across the street

1348
00:46:12,321 --> 00:46:15,321
from an elementary school. You

1349
00:46:15,324 --> 00:46:17,660
are in favor of developers.

1350
00:46:17,660 --> 00:46:19,528
You work to rezone residential

1351
00:46:19,528 --> 00:46:20,960
areas. It's not that we need

1352
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:22,496
more housing. We need

1353
00:46:24,330 --> 00:46:25,868
affordable housing. You now

1354
00:46:25,868 --> 00:46:27,868
give full-throated support 2

1355
00:46:28,504 --> 00:46:30,840
moms for Liberty who now make

1356
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:34,440
up the majority of the school

1357
00:46:34,677 --> 00:46:35,745
board. A number of you support

1358
00:46:35,745 --> 00:46:36,412
book bans, including the 28th

1359
00:46:36,412 --> 00:46:39,381
member of the City Council.

1360
00:46:39,381 --> 00:46:41,483
Blake Harper. The beaches City

Kirk's turning Point usa Clubs

1363
00:46:46,722 --> 00:46:47,723
in our schools, these clubs

1364
00:46:47,723 --> 00:46:48,390
and nothing more than vehicles

1365
00:46:48,390 --> 00:46:50,559
that help spread the false

1366
00:46:50,559 --> 00:46:52,628
ideology of white supremacy. I

1367
00:46:52,628 --> 00:46:55,628
raise these issues because in

1368
00:46:56,666 --> 00:46:58,434
this coming year you will see

1369
00:46:58,434 --> 00:46:59,735
more resistance to the city

1370
00:46:59,735 --> 00:47:02,135
council and that resistance

1371
00:47:04,773 --> 00:47:07,773
will continue to grow. Next

1372
00:47:09,311 --> 00:47:12,311
up, after this. After that,

1373
00:47:19,221 --> 00:47:22,221
Taylor, Poland. What will they

1374
00:47:23,580 --> 00:47:23,792
be when the time is up?

1375
00:47:23,792 --> 00:47:27,392
>> sorry. Will you be when the

1376
00:47:28,164 --> 00:47:29,231
time is My name is Sherry

1377
00:47:29,231 --> 00:47:29,899
Moffat's Mon Grap. I live

1378
00:47:29,899 --> 00:47:32,899
Clayton Road in Jackson in

1379
00:47:34,269 --> 00:47:35,137
Jacksonville. I was a I've

1380
00:47:35,137 --> 00:47:35,804
been a member of the Jack in

1381
00:47:35,804 --> 00:47:37,804
the Transportation Advisory

1382
00:47:38,207 --> 00:47:38,941
Committee for several years.

1383
00:47:38,941 --> 00:47:41,341
We were instrumental that

1384
00:47:43,450 --> 00:47:45,380
committee members in getting

1385
00:47:45,380 --> 00:47:46,480
you so connection. Plus, we

1386
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,648
encourage an at jta to have

1387
00:47:51,153 --> 00:47:51,820
that for you. Then we as a

1388
00:47:51,820 --> 00:47:52,721
group called at city's and

1389
00:47:52,721 --> 00:47:54,724
asked how they did it. We took

1390
00:47:54,724 --> 00:47:58,324
our findings back to jta and

1391
00:48:00,620 --> 00:48:00,762
encourage them again. And one

1392
00:48:00,762 --> 00:48:03,762
thing with said that 6 months

1393
00:48:05,340 --> 00:48:06,435
later with. It was cheaper po

1394
00:48:06,435 --> 00:48:08,835
ride for connection. Plus,

1395
00:48:09,505 --> 00:48:10,239
because on the regular buses,

1396
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,642
they have to buy the big buses

1397
00:48:13,642 --> 00:48:14,309
every so often they have to

1398
00:48:14,309 --> 00:48:16,178
maintain those buses. They

1399
00:48:16,178 --> 00:48:16,845
have to pay gas and those bus

1400
00:48:16,845 --> 00:48:17,546
if they have to clean those

1401
00:48:17,546 --> 00:48:19,448
best, that you do not have to

1402
00:48:19,448 --> 00:48:21,183
do that for that connection.

1403
00:48:21,183 --> 00:48:23,385
Plus, they have the wrong

1404
00:48:23,385 --> 00:48:26,122
vehicle. So they were thinking

1405
00:48:26,122 --> 00:48:28,557
at the time jta said, why

1406
00:48:28,557 --> 00:48:31,493
don't we make type of as part

1407
00:48:31,493 --> 00:48:32,940
of the actual regular

1408
00:48:32,940 --> 00:48:34,940
connection for everyone

1409
00:48:35,431 --> 00:48:37,300
because keeper and it's

1410
00:48:37,300 --> 00:48:38,401
obvious they want us to

1411
00:48:38,401 --> 00:48:39,168
transition away to the big

1412
00:48:39,168 --> 00:48:42,168
bands because when you raise

1413
00:48:43,105 --> 00:48:44,407
your price, 600% and you're

1414
00:48:44,407 --> 00:48:45,240
going to get a great majority

1415
00:48:45,240 --> 00:48:48,211
of those 31,000 right to go

1416
00:48:48,211 --> 00:48:48,911
in. Now go to the big buses,

1417
00:48:48,911 --> 00:48:50,112
which I think it's gonna over

1418
00:48:50,112 --> 00:48:51,413
tax them and they're not ready

1419
00:48:51,413 --> 00:48:52,114
for it. But let's say it works

1420
00:48:52,114 --> 00:48:54,514
perfectly. There things that

1421
00:48:54,550 --> 00:48:58,150
the the big buses can't do.

1422
00:48:58,854 --> 00:49:00,122
They can't do. We'll call

1423
00:49:00,122 --> 00:49:02,524
ready right? I'm ready. We

1424
00:49:02,524 --> 00:49:03,225
don't have to think ahead

1425
00:49:03,225 --> 00:49:03,925
time. What coming am I going

1426
00:49:03,925 --> 00:49:05,995
to be out of the store? What

1427
00:49:05,995 --> 00:49:06,962
time am I going to be? And if

1428
00:49:06,962 --> 00:49:07,663
we underestimate or ride was

1429
00:49:07,663 --> 00:49:10,663
sitting there waiting for an

1430
00:49:11,330 --> 00:49:12,468
hour or 2 without him, frozen

1431
00:49:12,468 --> 00:49:13,435
foods you melting of standing

1432
00:49:13,435 --> 00:49:15,835
outside the doctor's office

1433
00:49:20,943 --> 00:49:21,944
waiting if we over estimate.

1434
00:49:21,944 --> 00:49:23,279
If the other way round. We

1435
00:49:23,279 --> 00:49:24,447
overestimate underestimate we

1436
00:49:24,447 --> 00:49:26,248
MISS A ride. And according to

1437
00:49:26,248 --> 00:49:26,949
jta, we could wait up to 3

1438
00:49:26,949 --> 00:49:29,185
hours for the next best. That

1439
00:49:29,185 --> 00:49:32,185
model that's model of having

1440
00:49:32,655 --> 00:49:34,857
do that with. Connection.

1441
00:49:34,857 --> 00:49:35,858
Plus, you call. I'm ready.

1442
00:49:35,858 --> 00:49:38,694
I've never had to wait. More

1443
00:49:38,694 --> 00:49:42,264
than 7 minutes And if you want

1444
00:49:42,264 --> 00:49:42,898
to go from point abc get to

1445
00:49:42,898 --> 00:49:43,533
the bank, go get your

1446
00:49:43,533 --> 00:49:46,533
medicine, go pick up your

1447
00:49:47,770 --> 00:49:48,504
child from daycare from

1448
00:49:48,504 --> 00:49:51,504
destination, one to 2 with the

1449
00:49:53,675 --> 00:49:56,675
jta Big Best motto, 2 hours.

1450
00:49:57,913 --> 00:49:58,580
Destination 2 to 3, 2, 6,

1451
00:49:58,580 --> 00:50:00,516
cetera. What is connection?

1452
00:50:00,516 --> 00:50:01,283
Plus, you can do it in a

1453
00:50:01,283 --> 00:50:03,683
matter minutes, depending on

1454
00:50:05,221 --> 00:50:08,821
how far away the next next

1455
00:50:09,358 --> 00:50:10,260
destination. It. So what would

1456
00:50:10,260 --> 00:50:10,760
have normally taken 6 hours

1457
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:12,995
not to take too. And then they

1458
00:50:12,995 --> 00:50:15,300
wonder why this. So this is so

1459
00:50:15,300 --> 00:50:18,630
popular if we want, if they

1460
00:50:18,767 --> 00:50:19,501
want more numbers on the

1461
00:50:19,501 --> 00:50:20,136
regular connection so they can

1462
00:50:20,136 --> 00:50:21,604
get bigger federal grants

1463
00:50:21,604 --> 00:50:24,607
which what seems to be why

1464
00:50:24,607 --> 00:50:27,607
don't we make the connection

1465
00:50:28,711 --> 00:50:29,345
plus type. Thank you. Thank

1466
00:50:29,345 --> 00:50:30,779
you, Ma'am. Councilmember

1467
00:50:30,779 --> 00:50:32,114
Jones would like to talk to in

1468
00:50:32,114 --> 00:50:33,182
the green Room if I could get

1469
00:50:33,182 --> 00:50:36,182
when council systems to help

1470
00:50:36,886 --> 00:50:37,620
Matthews gets the green room.

>> And their next speaker will

1472
00:50:48,697 --> 00:50:51,697
be Taylor fo land. Good

1473
00:50:54,690 --> 00:50:54,770
Evening. Council members. Not

1474
00:50:54,770 --> 00:50:56,380
2 members of the council. My

1475
00:50:56,380 --> 00:50:56,839
name is Taylor, Poland. It's

1476
00:50:56,839 --> 00:51:00,439
not the land. It's not the

1477
00:51:02,445 --> 00:51:03,512
>> Poland. Enlightened

1478
00:51:03,512 --> 00:51:05,281
citizenry is indispensable for

1479
00:51:05,281 --> 00:51:07,681
proper functioning of a

1480
00:51:08,818 --> 00:51:09,485
republic. Self government is

1481
00:51:09,485 --> 00:51:10,520
not possible. Alas, the

1482
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:12,520
citizens are educated

1483
00:51:13,522 --> 00:51:14,457
sufficiently. Therefore, they

1484
00:51:14,457 --> 00:51:18,570
will be unable to x or

1485
00:51:21,300 --> 00:51:21,831
exercise oversight. It is

1486
00:51:21,831 --> 00:51:24,231
therefore imperative that a

1487
00:51:24,633 --> 00:51:25,367
nation see it provided all to

1488
00:51:25,367 --> 00:51:27,767
its citizens. Thomas Jefferson

1489
00:51:28,103 --> 00:51:28,771
paraphrase.

1491
00:51:32,575 --> 00:51:33,275
really happy.

00:51:38,981 --> 00:51:41,684
from a new home and I chose to

1496
00:51:41,684 --> 00:51:43,819
chose it because of its

1497
00:51:43,819 --> 00:51:45,210
metropolitan Vives and country

1498
00:51:45,210 --> 00:51:47,421
appeal. I've been visiting

1499
00:51:47,556 --> 00:51:51,156
here since my early 20's. I

1500
00:51:53,329 --> 00:51:53,963
was harassed. Illegally.

1501
00:51:53,963 --> 00:51:56,963
Thrown out of a publicly

1502
00:51:58,330 --> 00:52:01,330
funded place. That budget that

1503
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:02,371
built that park is 25 million

1504
00:52:02,371 --> 00:52:05,107
dollars. We pay for the public

1505
00:52:05,107 --> 00:52:07,309
budget. 1.5% goes into that.

1506
00:52:07,309 --> 00:52:10,309
Someone used the makes make.

1507
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:13,182
It makes sense to me why I was

1508
00:52:13,182 --> 00:52:13,883
thrown out of a publicly

1509
00:52:13,883 --> 00:52:16,883
funded place by the citizens

1510
00:52:17,686 --> 00:52:19,686
of Jacksonville. You 19

1511
00:52:20,789 --> 00:52:22,758
represent us with what I do. I

1512
00:52:22,758 --> 00:52:23,492
look at all of your seats as a

1513
00:52:23,492 --> 00:52:26,662
business. Now with what I do

1514
00:52:26,662 --> 00:52:27,863
professionally for a decade.

1515
00:52:27,863 --> 00:52:31,463
And if I don't have proper

1516
00:52:34,303 --> 00:52:35,400
remedy of reasonably under the

1517
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:36,906
ticket, regal Leury course of

1518
00:52:36,906 --> 00:52:37,539
this because I'm over this.

1519
00:52:37,539 --> 00:52:40,142
That officer that day on

1520
00:52:40,142 --> 00:52:43,142
JANUARY 6. Just so happened to

1521
00:52:44,780 --> 00:52:48,380
be JANUARY 6th. With my luck.

1522
00:52:49,352 --> 00:52:50,319
Talked about the rules. And

1523
00:52:50,319 --> 00:52:51,254
then acquitted the rules of

1524
00:52:51,254 --> 00:52:54,254
paying my apartment, which is

1525
00:52:54,857 --> 00:52:55,524
a privately funded and ever to

1526
00:52:55,524 --> 00:52:56,920
a publicly funded place and

1527
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:58,492
insinuated that I was

1528
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,764
illiterate. And that I MAY be

1529
00:53:01,764 --> 00:53:02,431
a sexual predator. Relation to

1530
00:53:02,431 --> 00:53:06,310
your quads on them. And you

1531
00:53:08,700 --> 00:53:08,738
know what? This is my rules.

1532
00:53:08,738 --> 00:53:11,138
Constitution of the United

1533
00:53:12,408 --> 00:53:15,211
States of America. It trumps

1534
00:53:15,211 --> 00:53:16,111
any city Trump, Santa Claus. I

1535
00:53:16,111 --> 00:53:18,470
amendment trumps any amendment

1536
00:53:18,470 --> 00:53:21,470
that this city council passes

1537
00:53:22,785 --> 00:53:25,854
and I want somebody to explain

1538
00:53:25,854 --> 00:53:28,958
to me why this happened. Time

1539
00:53:28,958 --> 00:53:29,558
credibly angry about this. And

1540
00:53:29,558 --> 00:53:31,558
there has discretionary

1541
00:53:31,961 --> 00:53:33,596
oversight of the budget and tk

1542
00:53:33,596 --> 00:53:36,596
Waters needs to fire that

1543
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,200
sheriff like yesterday. Next

1544
00:53:45,541 --> 00:53:46,175
up Windsor.

1545
00:53:46,175 --> 00:53:48,610
>> Like to talk about the

1546
00:53:48,610 --> 00:53:50,613
school's of hope. I think

1547
00:53:50,613 --> 00:53:53,130
everyone needs to understand

1548
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,684
what the school's of hope are.

1549
00:53:59,455 --> 00:54:00,689
The schools of hope. He's

1550
00:54:00,689 --> 00:54:02,658
having charter schools,

1551
00:54:02,658 --> 00:54:05,580
for-profit charter Schools Co

1552
00:54:05,895 --> 00:54:07,129
locate in public schools. And

1553
00:54:07,129 --> 00:54:08,531
it's the next logical

1554
00:54:08,531 --> 00:54:09,980
extension on the road to

1555
00:54:09,980 --> 00:54:11,980
destroy public school

1556
00:54:13,302 --> 00:54:14,303
education. For over 20 years.

1557
00:54:14,303 --> 00:54:16,703
Public schools have been

1558
00:54:17,540 --> 00:54:19,241
undermined and shortchanged by

1559
00:54:19,241 --> 00:54:19,842
charter schools and vouchers

1560
00:54:19,842 --> 00:54:22,242
for private schools and

1561
00:54:23,512 --> 00:54:24,313
homeschooling. This plan is

1562
00:54:24,313 --> 00:54:27,116
clearly to promote the profits

1563
00:54:27,116 --> 00:54:29,516
of charter school operators.

1564
00:54:32,388 --> 00:54:34,457
Because there will be no cost.

1565
00:54:34,457 --> 00:54:35,491
To the charter private charter

1566
00:54:35,491 --> 00:54:36,325
school operator of co-locating

1567
00:54:36,325 --> 00:54:39,925
in a public school. The costs

1568
00:54:40,195 --> 00:54:40,796
will be 0 rent, 0 rent for a

1569
00:54:40,796 --> 00:54:42,796
poor for-profit charter

1570
00:54:43,699 --> 00:54:46,699
school. And they will pay 0

1571
00:54:48,237 --> 00:54:50,637
for maintenance. Of that

1572
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:54,109
school of that public school.

1573
00:54:54,109 --> 00:54:54,977
So the cost is to the public

1574
00:54:54,977 --> 00:54:57,413
in a major, serious blurring

1575
00:54:57,413 --> 00:54:58,140
of the line between public

1576
00:54:58,140 --> 00:55:00,140
schools and for-profit

1577
00:55:02,952 --> 00:55:04,530
schools. Makes public funds

1578
00:55:04,530 --> 00:55:06,453
available again to for-profit

1579
00:55:08,357 --> 00:55:10,393
businesses. For these MISS

1580
00:55:10,393 --> 00:55:12,561
Named Schools of Hope. Just

1581
00:55:12,561 --> 00:55:16,161
like the MISS Named Moms for

1582
00:55:16,766 --> 00:55:17,467

1583
00:55:17,467 --> 00:55:19,867
governor and the politicians

1584
00:55:20,169 --> 00:55:22,271
meeting in Tallahassee today.

1585
00:55:22,271 --> 00:55:23,500
I understand that you all

1586
00:55:23,500 --> 00:55:23,672
don't oversee the schools, but

1587
00:55:23,672 --> 00:55:24,974
I think it's important for

1588
00:55:24,974 --> 00:55:27,374
everyone to understand what

1589
00:55:29,812 --> 00:55:31,748
the school's of hope Hopefully

1590
00:55:31,748 --> 00:55:33,349
it'll be repealed, not just

1591
00:55:33,349 --> 00:55:35,749
modified in this next

1592
00:55:36,519 --> 00:55:36,819
legislative session. Thank

1593
00:55:36,819 --> 00:55:37,586
you.

1594
00:55:37,586 --> 00:55:38,688
>> Thank you. We have received

1595
00:55:38,688 --> 00:55:39,422

1596
00:55:39,422 --> 00:55:41,457

00:56:49,591 --> 00:56:50,626
recently come to my attention

1628
00:56:50,626 --> 00:56:52,528
that as a city council member

1629
00:56:52,528 --> 00:56:53,263
Ryan put prohibited by our

1630
00:56:53,263 --> 00:56:55,631
city Council rules for meeting

1631
00:56:55,631 --> 00:56:56,266
with your organization

1632
00:56:56,266 --> 00:56:58,266
regarding the collective

1633
00:56:59,235 --> 00:57:00,603
bargaining negotiations with j

1634
00:57:00,603 --> 00:57:01,270
a until after there is

1635
00:57:01,270 --> 00:57:03,670
agreement between the Union

1636
00:57:06,208 --> 00:57:10,408
and j a. My letter, the e-mail

1637
00:57:11,147 --> 00:57:12,682
that was sent on my behalf.

1638
00:57:12,682 --> 00:57:13,450
Said I'm reaching out to

1639
00:57:13,450 --> 00:57:15,284
schedule an in-person

1640
00:57:15,284 --> 00:57:16,719
conversation between you and

1641
00:57:16,719 --> 00:57:19,119
the locally unions. Business

1642
00:57:21,230 --> 00:57:23,423
manager Ronnie Burris. Nothing

1643
00:57:25,610 --> 00:57:28,610
said negotiations with j. Was

1644
00:57:30,132 --> 00:57:30,734
said in that. Then, of course,

1645
00:57:30,734 --> 00:57:33,734
I did a public records

1646
00:57:36,606 --> 00:57:38,441
request. And because it had to

1647
00:57:38,441 --> 00:57:39,341
come from somewhere, I don't

1648
00:57:39,341 --> 00:57:40,430
think any of you decided that

1649
00:57:40,430 --> 00:57:43,145
this is what was supposed to

1650
00:57:43,145 --> 00:57:47,345
be. So I did a public records

1651
00:57:50,185 --> 00:57:53,785
request. And this is what? A

1652
00:57:55,224 --> 00:57:55,824
letter that I got through that

1653
00:57:55,824 --> 00:57:58,224
process said Jason, the

1654
00:57:59,662 --> 00:58:01,300
communication you have.

1655
00:58:01,300 --> 00:58:02,598
Drafted looks good. I've made

1656
00:58:02,598 --> 00:58:03,666
a couple of changes to it.

1657
00:58:03,666 --> 00:58:04,267
Otherwise I believe it is

1658
00:58:04,267 --> 00:58:06,569
ready to be sent to the

1659
00:58:06,569 --> 00:58:08,969
council members. Sign. Kristy

1660
00:58:13,542 --> 00:58:14,243

00:58:14,977 --> 00:58:16,378
going to say to you or talk to

1663
00:58:16,378 --> 00:58:19,978

1664
00:58:20,216 --> 00:58:20,950
come to this and tell you that

1665
00:58:20,950 --> 00:58:24,550
you can't talk because of your

1666
00:58:26,550 --> 00:58:28,455
rules. Through public records

1667
00:58:31,460 --> 00:58:33,396

00:59:13,836 --> 00:59:15,538
to find out what happens when

1680
00:59:15,538 --> 00:59:16,206
lose all my hair. You know,

1681
00:59:16,206 --> 00:59:17,506
GOD said to a precious few

1682
00:59:17,506 --> 00:59:18,841
weekends gives within the rest

1683
00:59:18,841 --> 00:59:19,408
hair. There's a wise man right

1684
00:59:19,408 --> 00:59:21,808
over there, MR. Vice

1685
00:59:24,380 --> 00:59:25,480
PRESIDENT. Okay. So. But we

1686
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:26,249
have a New York City is we

1687
00:59:26,249 --> 00:59:27,816
have a pro at mayor that has

1688
00:59:27,816 --> 00:59:28,551
said he's doing away with

1689
00:59:28,551 --> 00:59:30,486
individual and bringing on

1690
00:59:30,486 --> 00:59:32,486
collectivism.

1691
00:59:34,858 --> 00:59:35,925
>> remember and Rand 40 years

1692
00:59:35,925 --> 00:59:36,559
ago she told us this. What is

1693
00:59:36,559 --> 00:59:39,559
the basic world issue the

1694
00:59:39,929 --> 00:59:41,764
world today? The basic issue

1695
00:59:41,764 --> 00:59:42,565
in the world is between 2

1696
00:59:42,565 --> 00:59:44,565
principles. Individual and

1697
00:59:47,503 --> 00:59:48,838
collectivism. Holds. That man

1698
00:59:48,838 --> 00:59:49,538
has inalienable rights which

1699
00:59:49,538 --> 00:59:52,241
cannot be taken away from him

1700
00:59:52,241 --> 00:59:52,942
nor any other man.

1701
00:59:52,942 --> 00:59:55,342
Collectivism holds. That man

1702
00:59:55,544 --> 00:59:58,544
has no rights. That's what's

1703
00:59:58,848 --> 00:59:59,549
going on in New York City. And

1704
00:59:59,549 --> 01:00:01,917
quite frankly, my friend who

1705
01:00:01,917 --> 01:00:03,653
just decided on the 28th

1706
01:00:03,653 --> 01:00:04,587
councilmember, it's part of

1707
01:00:04,587 --> 01:00:05,587
that crew down here in

1708
01:00:05,587 --> 01:00:06,222
Jacksonville will sot is as

1709
01:00:06,222 --> 01:00:09,592
well as well as Mike lot

1710
01:00:09,592 --> 01:00:10,226
Ludwick. The reality is we

1711
01:00:10,226 --> 01:00:11,961
have socialism coming to

1712
01:00:11,961 --> 01:00:13,961
Jacksonville. It's sweeping

1713
01:00:16,980 --> 01:00:17,600
over the nation. And we need

1714
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:18,668
to understand what the role we

1715
01:00:18,668 --> 01:00:21,337
have as what you know we want

1716
01:00:21,337 --> 01:00:22,380
you all have is as government.

1717
01:00:22,380 --> 01:00:22,638
It comes down here to what is

1718
01:00:22,638 --> 01:00:24,607
the proper function of

1719
01:00:24,607 --> 01:00:26,607
government. The proper

1720
01:00:28,211 --> 01:00:28,911
function of government is to

1721
01:00:28,911 --> 01:00:31,311
protect individual rights of

1722
01:00:31,748 --> 01:00:35,118
man. That means to protect men

1723
01:00:35,118 --> 01:00:36,252
against brute force. And what

1724
01:00:36,252 --> 01:00:38,888
we see going on around ground

1725
01:00:38,888 --> 01:00:42,158
nation these days. You see the

1726
01:00:42,158 --> 01:00:42,825
Democrat Party and the leftist

1727
01:00:42,825 --> 01:00:43,492
fomenting the insurrection.

1728
01:00:43,492 --> 01:00:45,892
They claim happened 5 years

1729
01:00:46,729 --> 01:00:47,630
ago. They're standing against

1730
01:00:47,630 --> 01:00:49,999
ice. They're shooting at ice.

1731
01:00:49,999 --> 01:00:50,800
The running over ice. There

1732
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:52,602
have been what law enforcement

1733
01:00:52,602 --> 01:00:54,670
officers who have been run

1734
01:00:54,670 --> 01:00:55,371
over all manner of

1735
01:00:55,371 --> 01:00:57,771
insurrection in rebellion is

1736
01:00:58,274 --> 01:00:59,900
happening in our nation. Each

1737
01:00:59,900 --> 01:01:00,943
of you has a responsibility to

1738
01:01:00,943 --> 01:01:01,678
protect our rights. I

1739
01:01:01,678 --> 01:01:03,979
certainly hope you will. Thank

1740
01:01:03,979 --> 01:01:07,579
you. Thank u next step kneel

1741
01:01:07,984 --> 01:01:10,384
Keener. Jonelle maybe Jonelle

1742
01:01:17,827 --> 01:01:18,461
Caner. Brooke. Avenue. And

1743
01:01:18,461 --> 01:01:20,861
then Kathleen Mary, after

1744
01:01:23,166 --> 01:01:24,467
Brooke.

1745
01:01:24,467 --> 01:01:25,168
>> Good evening. My name is

1746
01:01:25,168 --> 01:01:27,903
Brooke Baldwin on my address

1747
01:01:27,903 --> 01:01:30,390
is on the record and I've come

1748
01:01:30,390 --> 01:01:31,207
to talk to you about public

1749
01:01:31,207 --> 01:01:34,544
safe today. It's a very simple

1750
01:01:34,544 --> 01:01:36,879
issue. It's called civil

1751
01:01:36,879 --> 01:01:38,879
engineering civil engineering

1752
01:01:39,582 --> 01:01:41,982
determines the speed limit

1753
01:01:42,618 --> 01:01:43,486
from stoplight to stop like

1754
01:01:43,486 --> 01:01:45,355
that. If you travel app or

1755
01:01:45,355 --> 01:01:46,222
slightly below the speed

1756
01:01:46,222 --> 01:01:49,358
limit, you had a green light

1757
01:01:49,358 --> 01:01:52,358
almost every time. This is

1758
01:01:52,795 --> 01:01:53,429
seems to be an issue that

1759
01:01:53,429 --> 01:01:55,829
Basically unaware on the

1760
01:01:57,990 --> 01:01:59,499
public. Agenda. I would

1761
01:01:59,636 --> 01:02:02,360
recommend that the City

1762
01:02:05,408 --> 01:02:07,844
Council draft a simple metal.

1763
01:02:07,844 --> 01:02:09,312
2 media let people know on a

1764
01:02:09,312 --> 01:02:09,946
regular basis what civil

1765
01:02:09,946 --> 01:02:12,946
injuring means and how it

1766
01:02:13,516 --> 01:02:16,585
works. The bonus is going to

1767
01:02:16,585 --> 01:02:18,888
be there's going to be less

1768
01:02:18,888 --> 01:02:19,588
road rage lesson jams at each

1769
01:02:19,588 --> 01:02:23,188
stop light and it's going to

1770
01:02:23,927 --> 01:02:26,927
be a lot more economically

1771
01:02:27,630 --> 01:02:27,763
feasible less wasting of fuel,

1772
01:02:27,763 --> 01:02:30,199
less wasting a ball of motor

1773
01:02:30,199 --> 01:02:32,135
parts break. Parts to

1774
01:02:32,135 --> 01:02:34,503
deteriorate. The machine. If

1775
01:02:34,503 --> 01:02:36,940
it's used to chat. Lee, it

1776
01:02:36,940 --> 01:02:39,542
lasts a lot longer. So the

1777
01:02:39,542 --> 01:02:40,176
benefits to public safety, the

1778
01:02:40,176 --> 01:02:42,576
public economy are quite

1779
01:02:44,313 --> 01:02:45,282
simple. Check with your civil

1780
01:02:45,282 --> 01:02:48,882
engineering crew to see if I'm

1781
01:02:50,186 --> 01:02:51,200
being honest or accurate.

1782
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:51,787
Recommend put this out on a

1783
01:02:51,787 --> 01:02:54,187
regular basis through the

1784
01:02:54,591 --> 01:02:56,325
media. They can be helpful.

1785
01:02:56,325 --> 01:02:57,326
Tell them they're helping

1786
01:02:57,326 --> 01:02:58,261
civil values. Tell them

1787
01:02:58,261 --> 01:03:00,661
they're helping public safety

1788
01:03:01,698 --> 01:03:05,134
because the road rage. I see

1789
01:03:05,134 --> 01:03:07,436
the people that are going 70

1790
01:03:07,436 --> 01:03:08,710
miles an hour in a 45 mile an

1791
01:03:08,710 --> 01:03:11,240
hour zone. That is not an

1792
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:13,640
anomaly. So please pay

1793
01:03:14,310 --> 01:03:14,977
attention and help. Thank you

1794
01:03:14,977 --> 01:03:17,977
very much. Thank you, Sir.

1795
01:03:21,284 --> 01:03:21,918
Kathleen Marie.

1796
01:03:21,918 --> 01:03:23,918
>> Good evening. Kathleen

1797
01:03:24,353 --> 01:03:26,560
Marie address on file. I'm

1798
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:27,757
going to engage in personally

1799
01:03:27,757 --> 01:03:28,591
directed speech, which is

1800
01:03:28,591 --> 01:03:30,126
constitutionally protected for

1801
01:03:30,126 --> 01:03:32,962
the 11th District Court of

1802
01:03:32,962 --> 01:03:35,565
Appeals in Moms for Liberty

1803
01:03:35,565 --> 01:03:37,800
versus the Brevard County

1804
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:38,401
Public Schools as the state

1805
01:03:38,401 --> 01:03:39,669
education director for

1806
01:03:39,669 --> 01:03:40,971
citizens defending Freedom.

1807
01:03:40,971 --> 01:03:41,604
I'm here to address remarks

1808
01:03:41,604 --> 01:03:44,400
made by COUNCILMAN Areas

1809
01:03:44,700 --> 01:03:45,274
during the land use and Zoning

1810
01:03:45,274 --> 01:03:47,274
Committee meeting ordinance

1811
01:03:48,778 --> 01:03:49,512
2025, 0, 6, 7, 5, during that

1812
01:03:49,512 --> 01:03:50,780
meeting council areas complain

1813
01:03:50,780 --> 01:03:52,482
that residents were, quote,

1814
01:03:52,482 --> 01:03:53,350
constantly always wanting the

1815
01:03:53,350 --> 01:03:56,385
same thing. He said he was,

1816
01:03:56,385 --> 01:03:57,540
quote, getting fed up and told

1817
01:03:57,540 --> 01:03:58,540
citizens that if you don't

1818
01:03:58,540 --> 01:04:00,454
want density, you should

1819
01:04:02,225 --> 01:04:02,926
quote, go somewhere else. The

1820
01:04:02,926 --> 01:04:03,660
First Amendment exist because

1821
01:04:03,660 --> 01:04:05,528
free speech and the right to

1822
01:04:05,528 --> 01:04:07,528
petition government are

1823
01:04:07,897 --> 01:04:08,565
essential when citizens

1824
01:04:08,565 --> 01:04:09,733
repeatedly raised the same

1825
01:04:09,733 --> 01:04:10,700
concerns. It is not a

1826
01:04:10,700 --> 01:04:14,300
disruption. It is a sign they

1827
01:04:14,671 --> 01:04:15,871
are not being heard. Citizens

1828
01:04:15,871 --> 01:04:17,473
defending Freedom empowers

1829
01:04:17,473 --> 01:04:18,730
citizens to defend their

1830
01:04:18,730 --> 01:04:18,808
liberty and place local

1831
01:04:18,808 --> 01:04:21,378
government back into the hands

1832
01:04:21,378 --> 01:04:22,979
of the people. What occurred

1833
01:04:22,979 --> 01:04:25,548
in that meeting showed public

1834
01:04:25,548 --> 01:04:27,583
input being dismissed rather

1835
01:04:27,583 --> 01:04:29,285
than respected. Well, apology

1836
01:04:29,285 --> 01:04:30,520
to the second district was an

1837
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:30,720
order. There is a pattern of

1838
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:32,720
disrespect to neighborhoods

1839
01:04:33,222 --> 01:04:34,324
throughout ball to include the

1840
01:04:34,324 --> 01:04:35,892
building of a morgue in the

1841
01:04:35,892 --> 01:04:37,694
residential neighborhood of

1842
01:04:37,694 --> 01:04:39,395
Brentwood. And more recently,

1843
01:04:39,395 --> 01:04:40,960
a slaughterhouse in a

1844
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:42,960
residential area. Meanwhile,

1845
01:04:43,299 --> 01:04:43,933
the COUNCILMAN Said, quote, It

1846
01:04:43,933 --> 01:04:46,933
wouldn't be fair to tell

1847
01:04:47,170 --> 01:04:47,837
developers they can't build

1848
01:04:47,837 --> 01:04:48,504
the COUNCILMAN's own words

1849
01:04:48,504 --> 01:04:51,407
declared his loyalty to the

1850
01:04:51,407 --> 01:04:52,308
developers over the

1851
01:04:52,308 --> 01:04:53,420
constituents. If COUNCILMAN

1852
01:04:53,420 --> 01:04:55,110
Areas is unwilling to hear the

1853
01:04:55,110 --> 01:04:56,112
people most affected by these

1854
01:04:56,112 --> 01:04:57,180
decisions, then perhaps he

1855
01:04:57,180 --> 01:05:00,780
should take his own advice and

1856
01:05:00,783 --> 01:05:02,685
go somewhere else for these

1857
01:05:02,685 --> 01:05:03,352
remarks. We respectfully call

1858
01:05:03,352 --> 01:05:03,920
on COUNCILMAN Areas to step

1859
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:06,920
down from the l Yeezy

1860
01:05:07,557 --> 01:05:08,358
Committee. Thank you.

1861
01:05:08,358 --> 01:05:10,459
>> This will be last call for

1862
01:05:10,459 --> 01:05:12,395
Jonelle. Keener is jonelle

1863
01:05:12,395 --> 01:05:13,863
here. She was going to speak

1864
01:05:13,863 --> 01:05:14,864
about 2025, 0, 6, 7, 5, which

1865
01:05:14,864 --> 01:05:15,598
we already took up at the

1866
01:05:15,598 --> 01:05:16,566
beginning. So imagine she left

1867
01:05:16,566 --> 01:05:19,566
after the vote. Joanne de

1868
01:05:23,390 --> 01:05:23,773
Angelo. And then after Joe and

1869
01:05:23,773 --> 01:05:27,373
I'll call the next 5 now, Reef

1870
01:05:27,810 --> 01:05:28,177
Nelson Peoples. Lisa Grant,

1871
01:05:28,177 --> 01:05:28,250
Sharon d#

1872
01:05:28,250 --> 01:05:28,322

1873
01:05:28,322 --> 01:05:28,392

1874
01:05:28,392 --> 01:05:30,392
#

1875
01:05:30,780 --> 01:05:31,514
, Angela Walker

1876
01:05:31,514 --> 01:05:34,500
and or else will be the next 5

1877
01:05:34,500 --> 01:05:36,500
missed anslee.

1878
01:05:37,386 --> 01:05:39,786
>> I'm here to support 2025,

1879
01:05:41,591 --> 01:05:43,591
0, 8, 6, 9, If these

1880
01:05:44,395 --> 01:05:45,762
installments are to continue,

1881
01:05:45,762 --> 01:05:47,764
they should be held in a

1882
01:05:47,764 --> 01:05:48,731
facility owned or operated by

1883
01:05:48,731 --> 01:05:52,101
the city so that it is

1884
01:05:52,101 --> 01:05:53,970
accessible to everyone. Since

1885
01:05:53,970 --> 01:05:55,338
taxpayers paid for the last

1886
01:05:55,338 --> 01:05:58,774
than you, it would have been

1887
01:05:58,774 --> 01:05:59,442
nice to have been invited. I'm

1888
01:05:59,442 --> 01:06:02,178
sure that my husband and I

1889
01:06:02,178 --> 01:06:02,812
would have been would have

1890
01:06:02,812 --> 01:06:05,212
enjoyed such a beautiful

1891
01:06:07,217 --> 01:06:07,917
event. We certainly wouldn't

1892
01:06:07,917 --> 01:06:11,870
have been able to go to such

1893
01:06:11,870 --> 01:06:14,870
an event like that because

1894
01:06:15,491 --> 01:06:18,491
we're both on fixed incomes.

1895
01:06:18,762 --> 01:06:21,163
It would also have been it

1896
01:06:21,163 --> 01:06:24,763
would also have taken me to

1897
01:06:25,101 --> 01:06:28,101
almost 2 years of my Social

1898
01:06:28,704 --> 01:06:30,907
Security just to pay the

1899
01:06:30,907 --> 01:06:33,307
$14,140. But the taxpayers me

1900
01:06:35,178 --> 01:06:35,845
and all of the all. For that

1901
01:06:35,845 --> 01:06:38,845
private venue for just one

1902
01:06:39,249 --> 01:06:42,849
night. I hope that you will

1903
01:06:43,190 --> 01:06:46,356
all vote. Yes for this and I

1904
01:06:46,356 --> 01:06:48,191
thank you for your time.

1905
01:06:48,191 --> 01:06:48,891
>> Thank u. Next up is Ruth

1906
01:06:48,891 --> 01:06:51,291
Nelson. People's followed by,

1907
01:06:54,830 --> 01:06:55,832
I believe its recent

1908
01:06:55,832 --> 01:06:58,501
>> Good evening roof. Now some

1909
01:06:58,501 --> 01:06:59,469
people's my addresses on file.

1910
01:06:59,469 --> 01:07:01,871
I'd like to ask for your

1911
01:07:01,871 --> 01:07:03,871
support on ordinance 2025.

1912
01:07:04,441 --> 01:07:05,775
'08, 6, 9, This ordinance

1913
01:07:05,775 --> 01:07:08,711
makes completes sense to me

1914
01:07:08,711 --> 01:07:09,979
for installation of vents.

1915
01:07:09,979 --> 01:07:11,881
Every single year. Events are

1916
01:07:11,881 --> 01:07:12,482
held in Jacksonville to

1917
01:07:12,482 --> 01:07:14,350
recognize the incoming

1918
01:07:14,350 --> 01:07:16,319
PRESIDENT Of the council and

1919
01:07:16,319 --> 01:07:18,288
to recognize committee

1920
01:07:18,288 --> 01:07:18,922
members. I am surprised that a

1921
01:07:18,922 --> 01:07:21,922
special event is held for

1922
01:07:23,793 --> 01:07:24,427
installations. Especially

1923
01:07:24,427 --> 01:07:26,530
since Erdos committee is

1924
01:07:26,530 --> 01:07:28,431
looking for ways to save

1925
01:07:28,431 --> 01:07:29,533
money. I did a bit of research

1926
01:07:29,533 --> 01:07:31,668
on how other counties in

1927
01:07:31,668 --> 01:07:32,769
Florida handled installations,

1928
01:07:32,769 --> 01:07:34,769
Palm Beach, Hillsborough,

1929
01:07:36,606 --> 01:07:39,600
Polk, Pinellas, Brevard and

1930
01:07:39,308 --> 01:07:40,100
Broward counties hold

1931
01:07:40,100 --> 01:07:40,677
installation events, regular

1932
01:07:40,677 --> 01:07:43,770
scheduled meetings that are

1933
01:07:43,412 --> 01:07:44,146
open to the public. Often

1934
01:07:44,146 --> 01:07:47,146
these for melodies are handled

1935
01:07:47,183 --> 01:07:49,152
during council meetings or

1936
01:07:49,152 --> 01:07:50,860
other regular county meetings

1937
01:07:50,860 --> 01:07:53,686
on county owned or city owned

1938
01:07:53,856 --> 01:07:55,992
property and then they get on

1939
01:07:55,992 --> 01:07:56,693
with handling the people's

1940
01:07:56,693 --> 01:07:59,930
business. There's no special

1941
01:07:59,463 --> 01:08:01,863
instant installation event. I

1942
01:08:02,399 --> 01:08:04,000
have a concern about the

1943
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,400
$14,140 of taxpayer money that

1944
01:08:06,402 --> 01:08:08,671
was spent to rent a facility

1945
01:08:08,671 --> 01:08:09,839
this year. I realized that

1946
01:08:09,839 --> 01:08:10,640
city-owned venues also have

1947
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:13,640
some associated costs, but not

1948
01:08:14,411 --> 01:08:15,278
typically this great just

1949
01:08:15,278 --> 01:08:17,278
because something isn't

1950
01:08:17,847 --> 01:08:18,681
illegal, doesn't make it

1951
01:08:18,681 --> 01:08:21,681
right. These are one year

1952
01:08:22,318 --> 01:08:22,986
positions one year. And as

1953
01:08:22,986 --> 01:08:23,687
we've seen this year, some

1954
01:08:23,687 --> 01:08:26,870
committee members aren't even

1955
01:08:26,556 --> 01:08:27,657
on the committee for a year.

1956
01:08:27,657 --> 01:08:29,559
Here are some compiled

1957
01:08:29,559 --> 01:08:31,628
expenses paid by taxpayers for

1958
01:08:31,628 --> 01:08:33,663
the last 4 years for

1959
01:08:33,663 --> 01:08:34,598
installation events that equal

1960
01:08:34,598 --> 01:08:36,998
$40,000 that we could have

1961
01:08:39,769 --> 01:08:42,169
spent on other things 2022.

1962
01:08:42,605 --> 01:08:44,605
Almost $6,000. Plus, 4500 for

1963
01:08:45,642 --> 01:08:47,642
damaged artwork. 2023 over

1964
01:08:50,790 --> 01:08:52,790
11,500 2024, about 4,000 2025.

1965
01:08:54,784 --> 01:08:56,352
Over $14,000 spent many of us

1966
01:08:56,352 --> 01:08:57,540
have had to do some belt

1967
01:08:57,540 --> 01:09:00,540
tightening to live within our

1968
01:09:03,326 --> 01:09:05,361
means. Many of us have had to

1969
01:09:05,361 --> 01:09:07,531
eliminate pleasures that we

1970
01:09:07,531 --> 01:09:08,865
previously enjoyed to finance.

1971
01:09:08,865 --> 01:09:11,265
More important concerns like

1972
01:09:11,367 --> 01:09:13,436
food and how house housing

1973
01:09:13,436 --> 01:09:15,836
City government is no

1974
01:09:16,372 --> 01:09:17,107
different passing. This

1975
01:09:17,107 --> 01:09:17,774
ordinance will prevent

1976
01:09:17,774 --> 01:09:20,774
questions in the future and

1977
01:09:20,977 --> 01:09:21,611
will save taxpayers money and

1978
01:09:21,611 --> 01:09:23,312
still a bit. Installation

1979
01:09:23,312 --> 01:09:24,130
events should be held in a

1980
01:09:24,130 --> 01:09:25,849
city building where everyone

1981
01:09:25,849 --> 01:09:28,849
has the opportunity and access

1982
01:09:29,385 --> 01:09:31,254
to a 10. It should reduce the

1983
01:09:31,254 --> 01:09:32,355
use of private funds to

1984
01:09:32,355 --> 01:09:34,910
finance such an event from

1985
01:09:34,910 --> 01:09:35,859
individuals who MAY be seeking

1986
01:09:35,859 --> 01:09:36,559
future favors and would be an

1987
01:09:36,559 --> 01:09:38,959
advantage to any COUNCILMAN

1988
01:09:39,395 --> 01:09:40,330
Doing the work of the people

1989
01:09:40,330 --> 01:09:42,966
for the people as it would

1990
01:09:42,966 --> 01:09:43,967
reduce impropriety questions.

1991
01:09:43,967 --> 01:09:47,567
Thank you. Thank you. Next to

1992
01:09:48,838 --> 01:09:49,472
Presa Grant.

1993
01:09:49,472 --> 01:09:50,206
>> COUNCILMAN Clark, Mary

1994
01:09:50,206 --> 01:09:53,242
would like to see in the Green

1995
01:09:53,242 --> 01:09:56,242
Room. It's great. You're up

1996
01:09:59,416 --> 01:10:00,830
next.

1997
01:10:00,830 --> 01:10:02,483
>> Good evening. I'm recent

1998
01:10:02,918 --> 01:10:03,520
grant address on file. I

1999
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:05,920
support the passage of

2000
01:10:06,556 --> 01:10:07,691
ordinance 2025. A 69, the

2001
01:10:07,691 --> 01:10:09,492
special committee on Duval.

2002
01:10:09,492 --> 01:10:10,460
Those was established last

2003
01:10:10,460 --> 01:10:12,128
MARCH to analyze recent growth

2004
01:10:12,128 --> 01:10:14,528
and city departments and

2005
01:10:14,798 --> 01:10:16,700
programs as well as evaluate

2006
01:10:16,700 --> 01:10:18,668
services provided for the

2007
01:10:18,668 --> 01:10:19,602
purposes of identify areas for

2008
01:10:19,602 --> 01:10:20,270
potential savings. Clearly

2009
01:10:20,270 --> 01:10:22,205
there was reason to believe

2010
01:10:22,205 --> 01:10:24,174
there was that that needed to

2011
01:10:24,174 --> 01:10:24,908
be cut. I support that. And I

2012
01:10:24,908 --> 01:10:27,770
don't think there are too many

2013
01:10:27,770 --> 01:10:27,710
people who wouldn't want to

2014
01:10:27,710 --> 01:10:29,780
see our government budget

2015
01:10:29,780 --> 01:10:31,347
trimmed down to lean but not

2016
01:10:31,347 --> 01:10:32,282
mean. And I realize there will

2017
01:10:32,282 --> 01:10:32,949
always be debate among people

2018
01:10:32,949 --> 01:10:35,349
with differing opinions on

2019
01:10:36,352 --> 01:10:38,388
wants versus needs and

2020
01:10:38,388 --> 01:10:39,220
ostentatious installation

2021
01:10:39,220 --> 01:10:39,722
ceremony of the council.

2022
01:10:39,722 --> 01:10:40,323
PRESIDENT And vice PRESIDENT

2023
01:10:40,323 --> 01:10:42,723
Seem right for savings

2024
01:10:43,126 --> 01:10:44,861
opportunities to me. In MARCH

2025
01:10:44,861 --> 01:10:45,528
2025. Neither the new

2026
01:10:45,528 --> 01:10:47,364
PRESIDENT Nor the new vice

2027
01:10:47,364 --> 01:10:49,332
PRESIDENT Were Duval. Those

2028
01:10:49,332 --> 01:10:50,367
committee members. But I

2029
01:10:50,367 --> 01:10:51,434
imagine they participated in

2030
01:10:51,434 --> 01:10:52,135
committee assignments and

2031
01:10:52,135 --> 01:10:53,970
therefore, we're fully aware

2032
01:10:53,970 --> 01:10:56,439
of Duval toes and its

2033
01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:57,173
mandates. Disappointed that so

2034
01:10:57,173 --> 01:10:59,800
soon after the creation of the

2035
01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:01,408
do special committee last

2036
01:11:02,478 --> 01:11:03,179
MARCH, more than $14,000

2037
01:11:03,179 --> 01:11:04,614
14,000 taxpayer dollars were

2038
01:11:04,614 --> 01:11:05,448
spent towards an installation

2039
01:11:05,448 --> 01:11:08,448
ceremony that could have and

2040
01:11:09,453 --> 01:11:10,120
some will say should have been

2041
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,188
held in a facility owned or

2042
01:11:12,188 --> 01:11:14,190
operated by the city. There

2043
01:11:14,190 --> 01:11:15,158
was an opportunity to save

2044
01:11:15,158 --> 01:11:16,560
Jacksonville citizens money

2045
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:17,393
but also provide the public,

2046
01:11:17,393 --> 01:11:18,610
the media and the disabled

2047
01:11:18,610 --> 01:11:21,598
access to what should be a

2048
01:11:21,598 --> 01:11:22,365
public event. I'm a proponent

2049
01:11:22,365 --> 01:11:24,340
of cutting unnecessary costs,

2050
01:11:24,340 --> 01:11:26,690
which is why do was

2051
01:11:26,690 --> 01:11:26,937
implemented? I believe every

2052
01:11:26,937 --> 01:11:27,637
person here today wants to see

2053
01:11:27,637 --> 01:11:30,637
the tightest most prudent use

2054
01:11:30,707 --> 01:11:31,907
of the city's budget. I

2055
01:11:31,907 --> 01:11:32,609
strongly support and have full

2056
01:11:32,609 --> 01:11:35,900
confidence in this 19 member

2057
01:11:35,445 --> 01:11:37,580
council's vote in favor this

2058
01:11:37,580 --> 01:11:39,482
responsible legislation and

2059
01:11:39,482 --> 01:11:40,883
savings opportunity. Let's

2060
01:11:40,883 --> 01:11:42,619
show the citizens Jacksonville

2061
01:11:42,619 --> 01:11:44,221
that every council member here

2062
01:11:44,221 --> 01:11:44,854
is unequivocally support of a

2063
01:11:44,854 --> 01:11:46,389
fiscal responsibility of

2064
01:11:46,389 --> 01:11:48,291
Jacksonville. Taxpayers

2065
01:11:48,291 --> 01:11:49,225
dollars. Jacksonville has many

2066
01:11:49,225 --> 01:11:49,959
needs, but a lavish

2067
01:11:49,959 --> 01:11:51,828
installation ceremony of

2068
01:11:51,828 --> 01:11:53,129
council leadership isn't one

2069
01:11:53,129 --> 01:11:55,932
of them. And with installation

2070
01:11:55,932 --> 01:11:56,566
ceremony is being a regular

2071
01:11:56,566 --> 01:11:57,200
occurrence. Jacksonville

2072
01:11:57,200 --> 01:11:59,600
simply cannot afford this

2073
01:11:59,769 --> 01:12:00,369
practice every year. Let's

2074
01:12:00,369 --> 01:12:01,571
find city-owned or city

2075
01:12:01,571 --> 01:12:03,240
operated facilities that are

2076
01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:06,840
in not profit oriented and get

2077
01:12:07,176 --> 01:12:09,779
the job done. Swear the person

2078
01:12:09,779 --> 01:12:10,479
and have a drink snack. Take a

2079
01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:11,180
few photos. Give an interview

2080
01:12:11,180 --> 01:12:13,182
or 2 and let's get back to

2081
01:12:13,182 --> 01:12:14,550
work that would show us. You

2082
01:12:14,550 --> 01:12:15,518
mean business? Look, it's

2083
01:12:15,518 --> 01:12:19,118
pretty simple. We all have to

2084
01:12:19,122 --> 01:12:20,156
trim the fat it home. We are

2085
01:12:20,156 --> 01:12:20,857
finding less expensive ways of

2086
01:12:20,857 --> 01:12:23,857
doing more everyday. We think

2087
01:12:24,527 --> 01:12:25,940
you can too. And we expect it

2088
01:12:25,940 --> 01:12:26,620
to be responsible and

2089
01:12:26,620 --> 01:12:27,363
transparent stewards of the

2090
01:12:27,363 --> 01:12:28,464
funds of this great city of

2091
01:12:28,464 --> 01:12:31,901
ours. We put our faith in you

2092
01:12:31,901 --> 01:12:32,602
with our vote. Please take

2093
01:12:32,602 --> 01:12:34,602
this responsibility seriously

2094
01:12:34,738 --> 01:12:36,139
and use your time in office

2095
01:12:36,139 --> 01:12:38,539
wisely when people see

2096
01:12:39,109 --> 01:12:40,376
themselves in you, their

2097
01:12:40,376 --> 01:12:41,210
elected officials beef and you

2098
01:12:41,210 --> 01:12:41,877
really double. And that

2099
01:12:41,877 --> 01:12:42,612
connection earns you their

2100
01:12:42,612 --> 01:12:46,212
vote at the ballot box next

2101
01:12:46,216 --> 01:12:46,849
time. Thank you for your time.

2102
01:12:46,849 --> 01:12:49,849
Thank next up share index

2103
01:13:01,898 --> 01:13:04,298
followed by Angela Walker.

2104
01:13:13,276 --> 01:13:15,812
>> Good evening. Sure. And I

2105
01:13:15,812 --> 01:13:18,681
think that's my entrance. On

2106
01:13:18,681 --> 01:13:20,917
file, I want first think.

2107
01:13:20,917 --> 01:13:23,317
COUNCILMAN Johnson for coming

2108
01:13:23,453 --> 01:13:27,530
2, I think talk last name. I

2109
01:13:27,724 --> 01:13:29,792
didn't remember Talk 10 years.

2110
01:13:29,792 --> 01:13:33,950
And and we spawn that's never

2111
01:13:33,950 --> 01:13:35,495
really concentrate. That's the

2112
01:13:35,765 --> 01:13:38,765
plan. And so appreciate him

2113
01:13:39,703 --> 01:13:42,703
growing As you have heard

2114
01:13:43,907 --> 01:13:44,807
about connection. Plus. And

2115
01:13:44,807 --> 01:13:46,810
too, would like us to go back

2116
01:13:46,810 --> 01:13:49,790
to the original model. We've

2117
01:13:49,790 --> 01:13:51,514
heard about cost. I want to

2118
01:13:51,514 --> 01:13:55,114
break that down for you. I

2119
01:13:55,785 --> 01:13:59,385
worked full time. It. I live

2120
01:13:59,422 --> 01:14:03,220
over 15 miles for my job. So

2121
01:14:04,160 --> 01:14:07,760
it would cost me $320 a week.

2122
01:14:08,465 --> 01:14:10,465
To take transportation. 300,

2123
01:14:11,969 --> 01:14:14,871
$20 a week. To go to work. So

2124
01:14:14,871 --> 01:14:18,471
I ask you. It's another from

2125
01:14:19,900 --> 01:14:21,344
hole. The amendment votes. And

2126
01:14:21,344 --> 01:14:25,544
now you support me. I went to

2127
01:14:25,982 --> 01:14:29,582
light even work. Some This is

2128
01:14:29,753 --> 01:14:31,688
not a privilege. It is a

2129
01:14:31,688 --> 01:14:33,790
right. We have a right to

2130
01:14:33,790 --> 01:14:34,391
work. We have a right to have

2131
01:14:34,391 --> 01:14:36,391
social activities. This

2132
01:14:36,593 --> 01:14:40,193
affects our quality of I would

2133
01:14:40,496 --> 01:14:41,197
ask that you. Work with j t a

2134
01:14:41,197 --> 01:14:44,434
to come up with a reasonable

2135
01:14:44,434 --> 01:14:47,434
solution. To reducing the cost

2136
01:14:48,605 --> 01:14:50,373
of the program. You a lot of

2137
01:14:50,373 --> 01:14:51,975
money and to the vehicles.

2138
01:14:51,975 --> 01:14:53,676
What about the rest of us?

2139
01:14:53,676 --> 01:14:56,676
What about the ones they're

2140
01:14:57,847 --> 01:14:58,515
here now? Need this important.

2141
01:14:58,515 --> 01:15:02,850
I would ask that you take a

2142
01:15:02,850 --> 01:15:03,954
look at this. And work with tt

2143
01:15:03,954 --> 01:15:05,488
it to come up with a solution

2144
01:15:05,488 --> 01:15:07,958
that works for all of us. At

2145
01:15:07,958 --> 01:15:10,327
the end of the day, can we

2146
01:15:10,327 --> 01:15:11,995
discern and transportation

2147
01:15:11,995 --> 01:15:12,529
will affect our quality of

2148
01:15:12,529 --> 01:15:14,929
life. Our access to

2149
01:15:16,432 --> 01:15:18,432
employment. Education, medical

2150
01:15:19,202 --> 01:15:23,306
care. I on the right to live

2151
01:15:23,306 --> 01:15:25,609
just you do. I have a right to

2152
01:15:25,609 --> 01:15:27,430
go work and come home without

2153
01:15:27,430 --> 01:15:29,430
spending 4 hours

2154
01:15:29,279 --> 01:15:30,714
transportation. What do you

2155
01:15:30,714 --> 01:15:33,114
want to spend 4 hours

2156
01:15:33,216 --> 01:15:35,616
transportation? I worked an

2157
01:15:36,519 --> 01:15:39,519
eight-hour day. I don't even 2

2158
01:15:40,490 --> 01:15:42,592
hours to get home. So I'm once

2159
01:15:42,592 --> 01:15:45,328
again in 20 the police take

2160
01:15:45,328 --> 01:15:48,465
the tumble. So you jta for

2161
01:15:48,465 --> 01:15:51,868
what and come up with a

2162
01:15:51,868 --> 01:15:52,569
solution and what's us?

2163
01:15:52,569 --> 01:15:55,569
>> Thank you, MADAM. Next up,

2164
01:15:56,206 --> 01:15:59,206
Angela Walker. After Angelo be

2165
01:16:11,421 --> 01:16:13,421
Jose Morales.

2166
01:16:13,457 --> 01:16:14,124
But it's service

2167
01:16:14,124 --> 01:16:14,824
that we have the ability to

2168
01:16:14,824 --> 01:16:17,824
lower and raise that podium.

2169
01:16:29,206 --> 01:16:31,606
Can we help out?

2170
01:16:50,427 --> 01:16:52,495
>> Good evening. My name is

2171
01:16:52,495 --> 01:16:54,630
Angela Walker in my addresses

2172
01:16:54,630 --> 01:16:54,665
on file. I would like to take

2173
01:16:54,665 --> 01:16:56,266
a few minutes just to

2174
01:16:56,266 --> 01:16:58,266
reiterate everything that

2175
01:16:59,469 --> 01:17:03,690
Sharon has said. But I think

2176
01:17:04,730 --> 01:17:05,142
that it's important that I

2177
01:17:05,142 --> 01:17:07,944
speak for those who can speak

2178
01:17:07,944 --> 01:17:10,344
for themselves. There's a

2179
01:17:11,848 --> 01:17:13,149
reason why the jt connection

2180
01:17:13,149 --> 01:17:16,749
plus is so valuable to those

2181
01:17:17,220 --> 01:17:17,887
of us who noble. And it is

2182
01:17:17,887 --> 01:17:21,487
because is it offers us an

2183
01:17:21,624 --> 01:17:24,624
opportunity. Not to have to

2184
01:17:24,828 --> 01:17:27,464
ride with others. Some of us

2185
01:17:27,464 --> 01:17:29,864
have disabilities that. Well,

2186
01:17:30,700 --> 01:17:34,300
not allow to be on shared

2187
01:17:35,104 --> 01:17:35,838
rides. Some of us have

2188
01:17:35,838 --> 01:17:38,238
disability that we're constant

2189
01:17:42,813 --> 01:17:43,480
pain. And so when when you say

2190
01:17:43,480 --> 01:17:47,800
okay, well, come go to work

2191
01:17:48,485 --> 01:17:49,752
and then work go home drive

2192
01:17:49,752 --> 01:17:51,621
for 3 hours. It's just not

2193
01:17:51,621 --> 01:17:53,621
something that's manageable,

2194
01:17:53,657 --> 01:17:57,257
even though we would like to

2195
01:17:58,161 --> 01:17:59,796
do that. So I ask. Want to say

2196
01:17:59,796 --> 01:18:02,733
out of respect. Thank you.

2197
01:18:02,733 --> 01:18:05,369
Also for MISTER Johnson for

2198
01:18:05,369 --> 01:18:06,736
being there at the meeting.

2199
01:18:06,736 --> 01:18:07,571
And I would just ask if

2200
01:18:07,571 --> 01:18:10,571
there's anything you guys can

2201
01:18:11,975 --> 01:18:14,611
do to help or support jta care

2202
01:18:14,611 --> 01:18:17,110
for writing better services

2203
01:18:17,881 --> 01:18:21,481
for us, whether it be through.

2204
01:18:21,685 --> 01:18:22,352
Combination of that 2 rides or

2205
01:18:22,352 --> 01:18:24,755
whatever. There's got to be

2206
01:18:24,755 --> 01:18:27,155
something better. Then what's

2207
01:18:27,424 --> 01:18:28,125
being proposed at the moment?

2208
01:18:28,125 --> 01:18:31,725
And I look forward to working

2209
01:18:31,961 --> 01:18:33,663

2210
01:18:33,663 --> 01:18:36,432
in whatever way that I can as

2211
01:18:36,432 --> 01:18:38,100
a citizen of Jacksonville who

2212
01:18:38,100 --> 01:18:40,401
absolutely deserves to have

2213
01:18:42,539 --> 01:18:45,709
the same type of job life

2214
01:18:45,709 --> 01:18:47,210
next. Person to support my

2215
01:18:47,210 --> 01:18:47,878
ability to do so. And my

2216
01:18:47,878 --> 01:18:50,878
independent. So I think you

2217
01:18:52,682 --> 01:18:53,850
very much.

01:19:33,423 --> 01:19:35,423
constituents with disabilities

2234
01:19:36,493 --> 01:19:37,327
all say most of this the

2235
01:19:37,327 --> 01:19:39,727
community across, although of

2236
01:19:40,163 --> 01:19:41,164
the groups are affected by the

2237
01:19:41,164 --> 01:19:41,898
current changes, Jacksonville

2238
01:19:41,898 --> 01:19:43,766
transportation authorities are

2239
01:19:43,766 --> 01:19:46,766
doing to their transit This

2240
01:19:46,937 --> 01:19:47,870
change is giving 2019 because

2241
01:19:47,870 --> 01:19:50,700
of the insufficient or lack of

2242
01:19:50,700 --> 01:19:52,410
quality of service on time

2243
01:19:52,410 --> 01:19:54,441
performance and many other

2244
01:19:55,212 --> 01:19:55,912
situations with pair transit

2245
01:19:55,912 --> 01:19:58,748
during that time to implement

2246
01:19:58,748 --> 01:20:01,148
that connection. Plus, which

2247
01:20:01,384 --> 01:20:02,850
honestly I provided not only

2248
01:20:02,850 --> 01:20:04,485
independence, but it real

2249
01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:06,790
world access to our community

2250
01:20:06,790 --> 01:20:07,323
because of that. Now people

2251
01:20:07,323 --> 01:20:09,723
depend on it point

2252
01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:11,600
appointment, health care. And

2253
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:13,600
honestly just participation.

2254
01:20:15,980 --> 01:20:18,698
Our community. We hope that I

2255
01:20:18,769 --> 01:20:21,710

that we in the future can

2261
01:20:28,111 --> 01:20:28,845
continue help our come up with

2262
01:20:28,845 --> 01:20:31,481
solutions and me in the future

2263
01:20:31,481 --> 01:20:35,810

2264
01:20:35,151 --> 01:20:35,819
know, we stakeholders from all

2265
01:20:35,819 --> 01:20:38,880
the disability groups have

2266
01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:40,123
provided to jta different

2267
01:20:40,123 --> 01:20:41,558
solutions for cost. We

2268
01:20:41,558 --> 01:20:43,427
understand that we need to cut

2269
01:20:43,427 --> 01:20:45,629
cost. And when understand the

2270
01:20:45,629 --> 01:20:46,897
efficiency needs to bottom

2271
01:20:46,897 --> 01:20:47,497
line and we have provided

2272
01:20:47,497 --> 01:20:48,464
solutions for that. We

2273
01:20:48,464 --> 01:20:50,333
provided attendance for that.

2274
01:20:50,333 --> 01:20:52,369
We're willing to work with

Contract negotiations very

2303
01:22:01,104 --> 01:22:03,504
important for employees and

2304
01:22:04,741 --> 01:22:06,776
the bin says. When they're the

2305
01:22:06,776 --> 01:22:08,578

cost of living rising every

2310
01:22:20,570 --> 01:22:23,657

good faith. And we asked a jta

2314
01:22:31,801 --> 01:22:34,201
come back to negotiation

2315
01:22:37,407 --> 01:22:38,241

2316
01:22:38,241 --> 01:22:40,244
talked about wanting to meet

2317
01:22:40,244 --> 01:22:43,844

2318
01:22:46,649 --> 01:22:47,317
you. High of them. We have.

2319
01:22:47,317 --> 01:22:50,917
Legal opinion as to why you

2320
01:22:53,220 --> 01:22:54,791
should it. The Constitution

2321
01:22:54,791 --> 01:22:56,759
and statutory rights of union

2322
01:22:56,759 --> 01:22:58,759

2323
01:22:58,829 --> 01:23:00,230

which guarantee to right to

2332
01:23:25,756 --> 01:23:26,356
meet. Therefore, it is

2333
01:23:26,356 --> 01:23:27,724
important that the city

2334
01:23:27,724 --> 01:23:29,159
council go to their calendar

2335
01:23:29,159 --> 01:23:33,359

2337
01:23:35,331 --> 01:23:38,331
continue to bargain in good

2338
01:23:39,703 --> 01:23:42,703
faith. And finally, I'd just

2339
01:23:42,973 --> 01:23:45,676
like to Thank brother Raul

2340
01:23:45,676 --> 01:23:48,760

2341
01:23:49,846 --> 01:23:52,246
really appreciate that. Thank

u next. Nancy Marie Settle.

2343
01:24:03,393 --> 01:24:03,994
And then Levy about.

2344
01:24:03,994 --> 01:24:06,394
>> Man summary set all

2345
01:24:07,464 --> 01:24:10,600
addresses on file. I urge you

2346
01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:11,701
to vote no to to requests from

2347
01:24:11,701 --> 01:24:12,936
the sheriff's department

2348
01:24:12,936 --> 01:24:14,936
ordinances. 25, 0, 8, 9, to

2349
01:24:21,440 --> 01:24:22,879
26. 3, 9 one has to accept

2350
01:24:22,879 --> 01:24:25,279
grants for 2 positions to

2351
01:24:26,817 --> 01:24:28,619
analyze surveillance data. Fed

2352
01:24:28,619 --> 01:24:31,454
into the Fusion centers. The

2353
01:24:31,454 --> 01:24:33,123
other is to accept a grant for

2354
01:24:33,123 --> 01:24:36,123
a van to transport detainees

2355
01:24:37,794 --> 01:24:38,561
to are deportation camps. I am

2356
01:24:38,561 --> 01:24:40,497
really hurt, broken watching

2357
01:24:40,497 --> 01:24:42,666
what is happening to our

2358
01:24:42,666 --> 01:24:43,600
country today. Federal agents

2359
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:45,600
are escalating, dangerous

2360
01:24:47,700 --> 01:24:48,138
encounters with citizens. We

2361
01:24:48,138 --> 01:24:51,274
all saw ice agents shoot and

2362
01:24:51,274 --> 01:24:52,750
kill an American mother with 3

2363
01:24:52,750 --> 01:24:54,478
bullets to her face and then

2364
01:24:54,478 --> 01:24:57,580
call her I'm not going to

2365
01:24:57,580 --> 01:25:00,617
repeat it. You heard it. Ice

2366
01:25:00,617 --> 01:25:02,452
has become a domestic

2367
01:25:02,452 --> 01:25:04,221
terrorist group full military

2368
01:25:04,221 --> 01:25:07,221
group gear pepper spray, mass

2369
01:25:07,724 --> 01:25:09,926
hygiene, identity. This is not

2370
01:25:09,926 --> 01:25:11,270
my America. 2.87 g Agreement

2371
01:25:11,270 --> 01:25:12,662
have basically turned our

2372
01:25:12,662 --> 01:25:15,620
local law enforcement into

2373
01:25:15,399 --> 01:25:19,203
ice. I heard out in full force

2374
01:25:19,203 --> 01:25:21,171
today. Jacksonville actually

2375
01:25:21,171 --> 01:25:21,839
has U.S. 300 flock cameras

2376
01:25:21,839 --> 01:25:25,439
that surveil us as we drive

2377
01:25:25,642 --> 01:25:26,342
around this town. All of us

2378
01:25:26,342 --> 01:25:27,944
that information is then fed

2379
01:25:27,944 --> 01:25:29,944
into databases. Infusion

2380
01:25:31,614 --> 01:25:32,749
centers that analyzer

2381
01:25:32,749 --> 01:25:34,749
movements. This information

2382
01:25:36,486 --> 01:25:38,421
isn't shared between agencies.

2383
01:25:38,421 --> 01:25:39,323
>> Including dhs and ice. Big

2384
01:25:39,323 --> 01:25:39,956
Brother is watching wherever

2385
01:25:39,956 --> 01:25:41,458
you are in the eye of law

2386
01:25:41,458 --> 01:25:44,458
enforcement is on. You. This

2387
01:25:45,595 --> 01:25:46,730
is not my America. When

2388
01:25:46,730 --> 01:25:48,699
protesting against tyranny and

2389
01:25:48,699 --> 01:25:51,990
governmental abuse becomes a

2390
01:25:52,769 --> 01:25:54,705
crime. When being anti fascist

2391
01:25:54,705 --> 01:25:55,905
becomes terrorism. We need to

2392
01:25:55,905 --> 01:25:58,905
ask ourselves what we're doing

2393
01:25:59,420 --> 01:25:59,709
and how we are supporting this

2394
01:25:59,709 --> 01:26:02,709
machinery that allows U.S.

2395
01:26:03,413 --> 01:26:05,182
Government overreach. Somehow

2396
01:26:05,182 --> 01:26:05,916
we have accepted that anything

2397
01:26:05,916 --> 01:26:08,118
the sheriff's department asked

2398
01:26:08,118 --> 01:26:10,987
for we should give them. Let's

2399
01:26:10,987 --> 01:26:13,987
take a pause on accepting

2400
01:26:13,990 --> 01:26:14,658
these state grants and told

2401
01:26:14,658 --> 01:26:18,258
dhs and ice Act within the

2402
01:26:19,950 --> 01:26:21,598
rules of law stop terrorizing

2403
01:26:21,598 --> 01:26:23,998
citizens, stop violating our

2404
01:26:25,302 --> 01:26:26,269
civil rights, stop shooting

2405
01:26:26,269 --> 01:26:28,669
unarmed citizens and acting

2406
01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:30,340
like reject these grants.

2407
01:26:30,340 --> 01:26:33,340
These grants are designed to

2408
01:26:34,745 --> 01:26:37,145
uphold fascism. The machinery

2409
01:26:37,780 --> 01:26:38,482
of fascism we see and support

2410
01:26:38,482 --> 01:26:39,149
a tear and a call occupation

2411
01:26:39,149 --> 01:26:42,749
of our cities by a corrupt

2412
01:26:43,853 --> 01:26:44,855
regime. Remember the gas

2413
01:26:44,855 --> 01:26:46,790
chambers where the end, not

2414
01:26:46,790 --> 01:26:49,790
the beginnings, stop it. Now.

2415
01:27:01,138 --> 01:27:03,138
>> Lidia Bill.

2416
01:27:04,774 --> 01:27:05,809
Good evening.

2417
01:27:05,809 --> 01:27:09,409
At first came to city council

2418
01:27:12,749 --> 01:27:15,149
in 20. 23. It is now 2026. 3

2419
01:27:15,519 --> 01:27:16,186
years and instead of things

2420
01:27:16,186 --> 01:27:18,586
getting better, things have

2421
01:27:18,955 --> 01:27:20,924
gotten worse. For 3 years. Our

2422
01:27:20,924 --> 01:27:22,924
battle has been.

2423
01:27:24,761 --> 01:27:26,530
>> And ethical Morrow.

2424
01:27:26,530 --> 01:27:29,266
>> Decency, a bad, bad, allow

2425
01:27:29,266 --> 01:27:32,266
protests. Now our battle. It's

2426
01:27:33,303 --> 01:27:34,704
fight for our lives being

2427
01:27:34,704 --> 01:27:36,704
exposed and transporting

2428
01:27:37,774 --> 01:27:39,774

2429
01:27:40,744 --> 01:27:43,744
around children and around our

2430
01:27:44,147 --> 01:27:44,948

2431
01:27:44,948 --> 01:27:47,348

2434
01:27:53,257 --> 01:27:54,900
I'm sure most of don't know

2435
01:27:54,900 --> 01:27:55,859
what these chemicals eels

2436
01:27:55,859 --> 01:27:59,459
like. I don't need to, but

2437
01:27:59,630 --> 01:28:00,864
they're neighborhood. They're

2438
01:28:00,864 --> 01:28:01,532
back our children. They're

2439
01:28:01,532 --> 01:28:04,532
coming into our bodies and

2440
01:28:07,400 --> 01:28:07,704

2444
01:28:15,812 --> 01:28:17,514
severe inbound mental problem

2445
01:28:17,514 --> 01:28:20,884
in Brentwood and at no time

2446
01:28:20,884 --> 01:28:22,919
should this 300 body more? And

2447
01:28:22,919 --> 01:28:26,823
for him to clap be placed in

2448
01:28:26,823 --> 01:28:29,823
It around people and it 20

2449
01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:31,595

type of governing body do? We

2454
01:28:41,671 --> 01:28:45,142
We could do bad what we need

2455
01:28:45,142 --> 01:28:45,809
to pay City Council people to

2456
01:28:45,809 --> 01:28:48,809

2457
01:28:49,212 --> 01:28:49,879

hope you accept graduation.

2499
01:30:18,635 --> 01:30:19,269
When it comes apprenticeship.

2500
01:30:19,269 --> 01:30:19,936
I just want to throw some

2501
01:30:19,936 --> 01:30:20,671
numbers out here and I know

2502
01:30:20,671 --> 01:30:23,710
couple you councilmembers know

2503
01:30:23,674 --> 01:30:24,408
these numbers, but 41% of

2504
01:30:24,408 --> 01:30:26,808
construction workers are going

2505
01:30:27,678 --> 01:30:28,345

2509
01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:36,987
is the year we should address

2510
01:30:36,987 --> 01:30:37,721
apprenticeship programs and

2511
01:30:37,721 --> 01:30:39,721

2518
01:30:49,532 --> 01:30:50,734
solve this problem. If we

2519

2520
01:30:53,437 --> 01:30:54,404

involved in government was at

2544
01:31:35,379 --> 01:31:35,979
the age of 16 in the year 2007

2545
01:31:35,979 --> 01:31:36,647
and flashback. When the

2546
01:31:36,647 --> 01:31:38,647
Florida legislative session

past. 7, 9, 4, point 0, 5, aka

2548
01:31:45,322 --> 01:31:45,989
the Romeo and Juliet law for

2549
01:31:45,989 --> 01:31:47,291
those that don't know, the

2550
01:31:47,291 --> 01:31:49,260
statue is as follows unlawful

2551
01:31:49,260 --> 01:31:51,428
sexual activity with certain

2552
01:31:51,428 --> 01:31:53,129
minors. Person 24 years of age

2553
01:31:53,129 --> 01:31:54,865
or older who engaged in sexual

01:31:55,599 --> 01:31:58,468
17 years of age commits a

2556
01:31:58,468 --> 01:31:59,636
felony of the second degree.

2557
01:31:59,636 --> 01:32:00,303
According to the Committee of

2558
01:32:00,303 --> 01:32:02,272
Criminal Justice, Florida's

2559
01:32:02,272 --> 01:32:03,507
Romeo and Juliet Law was

2560
01:32:03,507 --> 01:32:05,507
created during the 2000

2561
01:32:05,609 --> 01:32:06,510
legislate 2007 legislative

2562
01:32:06,510 --> 01:32:08,910
session to address concerns

2563
01:32:09,313 --> 01:32:10,447
about high school age youth

2564
01:32:10,447 --> 01:32:11,810
being labeled a sex offenders

2565
01:32:11,810 --> 01:32:11,848
are sexual predators as a

2566
01:32:11,848 --> 01:32:13,683
result of a participating in a

01:32:13,683 --> 01:32:15,452
consensual sexual

2568
01:32:15,452 --> 01:32:16,860
relationship. Who knew we had

2569
01:32:16,860 --> 01:32:18,486
so many? 23 year-old high

2570
01:32:18,655 --> 01:32:21,550
schoolers. Public education, I

2571
01:32:23,160 --> 01:32:24,261
guess. I was so appalled by

2572
01:32:24,261 --> 01:32:25,229
the statute that when it

2573
01:32:25,229 --> 01:32:26,897
passed, I wrote an article

2574
01:32:26,897 --> 01:32:27,631
about it for my high school

2575
01:32:27,631 --> 01:32:29,166
newspaper. That's right. Paper

2576
01:32:29,166 --> 01:32:31,166
paper, friends.

2577
01:32:31,936 --> 01:32:34,336
>> I bring this up.

2578
01:32:34,838 --> 01:32:37,838
>> That legislation is not new

2579
01:32:39,977 --> 01:32:40,610

relief to our overburdened

2584
01:32:45,382 --> 01:32:47,317
health care system. You have

2585
01:32:47,317 --> 01:32:48,518
the opportunity to provide

2586
01:32:48,518 --> 01:32:50,918
legislation that addresses the

2587
01:32:51,922 --> 01:32:53,323
lack of affordability in our

2588
01:32:53,323 --> 01:32:54,124
housing market. You have the

2589
01:32:54,124 --> 01:32:56,124
opportunity to champion

01:32:56,927 --> 01:32:57,395
legislation that eliminates

01:32:57,395 --> 01:32:58,950
food scarcity.

2592
01:32:58,950 --> 01:32:59,960
>> You could even champion

2593
01:32:59,960 --> 01:33:00,230
legislation that strengthens

2594
01:33:00,230 --> 01:33:01,132
our public education. So we

2595
01:33:01,132 --> 01:33:01,465
don't have these 23 year-old

2596
01:33:01,465 --> 01:33:03,465

some people have asked you to.

2602
01:33:12,509 --> 01:33:15,509
You have all this opportunity,

2603
01:33:15,980 --> 01:33:17,980
don't blow it.

Harding, energy for Duval

2666
01:36:15,392 --> 01:36:16,590
Tribune. I'm here to talk to

2667
01:36:16,590 --> 01:36:16,760
you guys about some of the

2668
01:36:16,760 --> 01:36:19,760
boards and commissions in the

2669
01:36:20,764 --> 01:36:21,998
city I went to the truth

2670
01:36:21,998 --> 01:36:23,100
Commission meeting for the

2671
01:36:23,100 --> 01:36:23,801
first time ever. Probably last

2672
01:36:23,801 --> 01:36:26,503
time. It was the most boring

2673
01:36:26,503 --> 01:36:28,772
thing I've ever been to.

2674
01:36:28,772 --> 01:36:30,875
>> But they passed a rule

2675
01:36:30,875 --> 01:36:32,475
basically. I think I'm I'm

2676
01:36:32,475 --> 01:36:33,210
assuming trying punish MISTER

2677
01:36:33,210 --> 01:36:34,211
New near stop him from talking

2678
01:36:34,211 --> 01:36:34,878
because nobody else gets up

2679
01:36:34,878 --> 01:36:37,114
and speaks. Well, basically

2680
01:36:37,114 --> 01:36:37,814
the rule they pass was too.

2681
01:36:37,814 --> 01:36:40,484
Try to force anybody getting

2682
01:36:40,484 --> 01:36:42,119
up to speak to limit their,

2683
01:36:42,119 --> 01:36:44,540
you know what they say too,

2684
01:36:44,540 --> 01:36:46,900
something that's before the

2685
01:36:46,900 --> 01:36:47,240
board. And if not, they have

2686
01:36:47,240 --> 01:36:47,858
to email It was something

2687
01:36:47,858 --> 01:36:48,526
weird like that. And it was

2688
01:36:48,526 --> 01:36:49,260
almost unanimous. There was

2689
01:36:49,260 --> 01:36:50,694
only one, you know, dissenting

2690
01:36:50,694 --> 01:36:53,940
vote. Speaking of dissenting

2691
01:36:54,365 --> 01:36:55,990
votes. All every single board

2692
01:36:55,990 --> 01:36:57,499
and commission throughout this

2693
01:36:58,903 --> 01:37:01,903
city. Every vote is unanimous.

2694
01:37:02,206 --> 01:37:05,206
>> Je a jta j a.

2695
01:37:05,876 --> 01:37:06,643
>> Every single vote is

2696
01:37:06,643 --> 01:37:07,344
unanimous. And jta is the

2697
01:37:07,344 --> 01:37:09,744
obviously the worst offender

2698
01:37:09,847 --> 01:37:10,915
because, you know, brought out

2699
01:37:10,915 --> 01:37:13,117
in a lot of people who are

2700
01:37:13,117 --> 01:37:15,520
going to be punished by stupid

2701
01:37:15,520 --> 01:37:16,887
policy decision. But it goes

2702
01:37:16,887 --> 01:37:18,889
to show that, you know, being

2703
01:37:18,889 --> 01:37:20,791
stupid as bipartisan because

2704
01:37:20,791 --> 01:37:21,491
jta is half appointed by the

2705
01:37:21,491 --> 01:37:24,491
mayor. Half appointed by the

2706
01:37:25,396 --> 01:37:27,698
governor and what do you know?

2707
01:37:27,698 --> 01:37:29,990
Each one of them managed put

2708
01:37:29,990 --> 01:37:30,901
3. On the board who can't seem

2709
01:37:30,901 --> 01:37:33,300
to like put together a

2710
01:37:33,300 --> 01:37:34,805
coherent thought to dissent

2711
01:37:34,805 --> 01:37:35,472
and say, hey, maybe for want

2712
01:37:35,472 --> 01:37:38,472
to face a budget shortfall

2713
01:37:38,542 --> 01:37:40,677
mean we shouldn't cut the

2714
01:37:40,677 --> 01:37:41,411
services that are serving poor

2715
01:37:41,411 --> 01:37:43,580
people and the disabled it. We

2716
01:37:43,580 --> 01:37:45,349
should cut the stupid van. The

2717
01:37:45,349 --> 01:37:46,500
drives back and forth for like

2718
01:37:46,500 --> 01:37:46,717
2 miles downtown. It's ending

2719
01:37:46,717 --> 01:37:49,117
up with 100 million dollars

2720
01:37:49,420 --> 01:37:52,220
something like that. So you

2721
01:37:52,220 --> 01:37:52,857
got me to get these boards

2722
01:37:52,857 --> 01:37:55,726
under control. And I say the

2723
01:37:55,726 --> 01:37:56,827
first thing you guys should do

2724
01:37:56,827 --> 01:37:58,762
if you should go out and you

2725
01:37:58,762 --> 01:38:01,162
should remove all 3 mayoral

2726
01:38:02,133 --> 01:38:04,568
appointees from jta and like a

2727
01:38:04,568 --> 01:38:05,235
j bill up to remove all the

2728
01:38:05,235 --> 01:38:07,235
gubernatorial appointees to

2729
01:38:10,741 --> 01:38:11,408
jta. Jta as well. As well. But

2730
01:38:11,408 --> 01:38:12,843
all these people need to go

2731
01:38:12,843 --> 01:38:15,243
because they're stupid and

2732
01:38:25,389 --> 01:38:26,724
they're useless. Like best.

2733
01:38:26,724 --> 01:38:27,992
>> Good evening. Members of

2734
01:38:27,992 --> 01:38:30,270
the council. My name is Blake

2735
01:38:30,270 --> 01:38:30,895
Bass. My addresses on file. I

2736
01:38:30,895 --> 01:38:34,495
stand before you today as a

2737
01:38:34,764 --> 01:38:36,934
member of the true condition.

2738
01:38:36,934 --> 01:38:37,601
I do I did not speak on behalf

2739
01:38:37,601 --> 01:38:40,804
of the commission, but as a

2740
01:38:40,804 --> 01:38:41,772
representative of myself alone

2741
01:38:41,772 --> 01:38:42,639
and to MISTER Harding's point,

2742
01:38:42,639 --> 01:38:44,141
I was the only no vote in

2743
01:38:44,141 --> 01:38:46,977
that. So just knowing. So I'm

2744
01:38:46,977 --> 01:38:48,645
I'm the good guy. A little

2745
01:38:48,645 --> 01:38:49,213
over 3 months ago, I was

2746
01:38:49,213 --> 01:38:51,515
appointed to the true

2747
01:38:51,515 --> 01:38:53,317
condition with a promise that

2748
01:38:53,317 --> 01:38:54,180
i would deliver a report to

2749
01:38:54,180 --> 01:38:55,286
you in 3 months. Time on the

2750
01:38:55,286 --> 01:38:56,119
findings over this last

2751
01:38:56,119 --> 01:38:59,119
quarter. And today I stand

2752
01:38:59,556 --> 01:39:00,891
before you to do just that. 2

2753
01:39:00,891 --> 01:39:01,559
of my top concerns were

2754
01:39:01,559 --> 01:39:02,693
landscaping and mowing and

2755
01:39:02,693 --> 01:39:05,930
parks and rec. 2 city

2756
01:39:07,131 --> 01:39:08,465
essentials. Over this time, I

2757
01:39:08,465 --> 01:39:09,133
had the ability to meet with

2758
01:39:09,133 --> 01:39:11,335
various city departments to

2759
01:39:11,335 --> 01:39:13,303
learn the ins and outs of city

2760
01:39:13,303 --> 01:39:14,905
government. And I was proud to

2761
01:39:14,905 --> 01:39:15,773
see the passion and in our

2762
01:39:15,773 --> 01:39:18,476
city employees a passion to

2763
01:39:18,476 --> 01:39:19,210
make the city a better place.

2764
01:39:19,210 --> 01:39:22,513
At the same time, I also heard

2765
01:39:22,513 --> 01:39:23,681
their concerns. Were there

2766
01:39:23,681 --> 01:39:24,448
while there was funding in

2767
01:39:24,448 --> 01:39:26,490
place to keep these

2768
01:39:26,490 --> 01:39:28,490
departments funded and

2769
01:39:29,153 --> 01:39:30,200
efficient. It was my opinion.

2770
01:39:30,200 --> 01:39:30,721
That it still lacked the

2771
01:39:30,721 --> 01:39:33,121
resources and funding needed

2772
01:39:33,691 --> 01:39:35,693
to be fully effective. At our

2773
01:39:35,693 --> 01:39:38,930
last true commission meeting,

2774
01:39:38,162 --> 01:39:40,431
we discussed jt a's 19 million

2775
01:39:40,431 --> 01:39:42,431
dollar budget shortfall.

2776
01:39:43,801 --> 01:39:45,690
19 million dollars Council.

2777
01:39:45,690 --> 01:39:46,300
Directly related to the

2778
01:39:46,300 --> 01:39:48,500
funding of the nab, Autonomous

2779
01:39:48,500 --> 01:39:50,405
Vehicle project. How can

2780
01:39:52,510 --> 01:39:54,378
anyone? Justify spending this

2781
01:39:54,378 --> 01:39:57,314
much money on an essential

2782
01:39:57,314 --> 01:39:59,314
non-essential special project.

2783
01:40:00,817 --> 01:40:01,551
When we have ditches medians

2784
01:40:01,551 --> 01:40:02,887
roads and communities, they're

2785
01:40:02,887 --> 01:40:05,322
not asking for a handout. But

2786
01:40:05,322 --> 01:40:08,322
for the services promise to

2787
01:40:08,993 --> 01:40:09,927
them in our city. Charter. As

2788
01:40:09,927 --> 01:40:12,129
young man aspiring to help

2789
01:40:12,129 --> 01:40:12,829
lead this city forward. I fear

2790
01:40:12,829 --> 01:40:14,832
that if we don't address this

2791
01:40:14,832 --> 01:40:17,832
now. We pushed to my

2792
01:40:19,536 --> 01:40:22,536
generation. Thank u next up,

2793
01:40:28,746 --> 01:40:31,146
Jennifer Jones. Jennifer Jones

2794
01:40:31,682 --> 01:40:32,416
by addresses on file. I'm here

2795
01:40:32,416 --> 01:40:35,352
today to talk about schools of

2796
01:40:35,352 --> 01:40:36,860
hope. Schools of Hope is the

2797
01:40:36,860 --> 01:40:38,486
privatization pretending to be

2798
01:40:40,490 --> 01:40:41,258
reform. It distributes public

2799
01:40:41,258 --> 01:40:42,359
moaning, public land and

2800
01:40:42,359 --> 01:40:45,959
public power and give some to

2801
01:40:46,196 --> 01:40:47,197
private charter operators.

2802
01:40:47,197 --> 01:40:48,199
>> All I public schools that

2803
01:40:48,199 --> 01:40:48,765
are communities rely are

2804
01:40:48,765 --> 01:40:50,765
purposely starved for

2805
01:40:52,769 --> 01:40:54,138
resources. When still schools

2806
01:40:54,138 --> 01:40:54,939
struggle. It's not because

2807
01:40:54,939 --> 01:40:55,606
they failed. It's because the

2808
01:40:55,606 --> 01:40:59,206
state is chose not to fund

2809
01:41:00,677 --> 01:41:01,445
them. Instead of investing in

2810
01:41:01,445 --> 01:41:03,845
underfunded school. The state

2811
01:41:04,148 --> 01:41:06,316
uses it as an excuse to say

2812
01:41:06,316 --> 01:41:06,851
fun students, buildings and

2813
01:41:06,851 --> 01:41:07,484
stability away from

2814
01:41:07,484 --> 01:41:09,484
democratically run public

2815
01:41:10,688 --> 01:41:12,523
schools. The system is rigged

2816
01:41:12,523 --> 01:41:15,692
by design. Schools of hope are

2817
01:41:15,692 --> 01:41:17,695
exempt from most educational

2818
01:41:17,695 --> 01:41:18,395
laws. Local oversight,

2819
01:41:18,395 --> 01:41:20,395
staffing standards, zoning

2820
01:41:21,799 --> 01:41:22,467
rules and even property taxes.

2821
01:41:22,467 --> 01:41:23,660
However, public schools are

2822
01:41:23,660 --> 01:41:25,102
expected to carry every

2823
01:41:25,102 --> 01:41:27,102
responsibility. Charter

2824
01:41:29,600 --> 01:41:30,740
operators get to use the free

2825
01:41:30,740 --> 01:41:30,708
use of Duval County school

2826
01:41:30,708 --> 01:41:32,708
buildings and maintenance

2827
01:41:35,780 --> 01:41:36,714
funding. Well, districts lia's

2828
01:41:36,714 --> 01:41:38,649
assets and still carry the

2829
01:41:38,649 --> 01:41:41,285
long-term cost. It is a direct

2830
01:41:41,285 --> 01:41:42,219
transfer of public wealth into

2831
01:41:42,219 --> 01:41:45,220
private hands, education as a

2832
01:41:45,220 --> 01:41:47,570
public. Good, not a commodity.

2833
01:41:47,570 --> 01:41:48,920
I urge everyone to contact

2834
01:41:48,920 --> 01:41:48,692
their representatives and ask

2835
01:41:48,692 --> 01:41:51,692
for schools hope to be

2836
01:41:53,397 --> 01:41:54,665
repealed. Thank you. Next

2837
01:41:54,665 --> 01:41:55,332
steps, Alice, a young Jones

2838
01:41:55,332 --> 01:41:58,332
and then Clarence Long. And

2839
01:42:00,103 --> 01:42:01,238
then that Perez.

2840
01:42:01,238 --> 01:42:02,840
>> Good evening. My name is

2844
01:42:08,212 --> 01:42:09,179
I come before you today as a

2845
01:42:09,179 --> 01:42:10,781
business owner in downtown

2846
01:42:10,781 --> 01:42:11,549
Jacksonville, the Rainbow

2847
01:42:11,549 --> 01:42:13,949
Wedding Chapel and Rainbow

2848
01:42:14,185 --> 01:42:14,818
Notary nuptials network. The

2849
01:42:14,818 --> 01:42:17,154
reason for me coming here

2850
01:42:17,154 --> 01:42:18,522

2852
01:42:19,390 --> 01:42:20,124
to see all of you. Wonderful

people in. Thank you for your

2854
01:42:24,995 --> 01:42:25,629
service to our great city. The

2855
01:42:25,629 --> 01:42:26,330
purpose for me being here

2856
01:42:26,330 --> 01:42:27,965
today is to ask you to take a

2857
01:42:27,965 --> 01:42:30,301
look at the signage.

2858
01:42:30,301 --> 01:42:31,134
Legislation that you have in

2859
01:42:31,134 --> 01:42:34,137
place. Did you know that a

2860
01:42:34,137 --> 01:42:35,439
simple sandwich board is

2861
01:42:35,439 --> 01:42:37,441
illegal? You can't put a

2862
01:42:37,441 --> 01:42:38,943
simple sandwich board outside

2863
01:42:38,943 --> 01:42:39,643

2864
01:42:39,643 --> 01:42:41,946
sandwich board us a meatball.

2865
01:42:41,946 --> 01:42:43,748
Subs are 3.99 today. Sandwich

2866
01:42:43,748 --> 01:42:46,148
board is against Jacksonville

2867
01:42:48,286 --> 01:42:51,188
law. You can't have a sign in

2868
01:42:51,188 --> 01:42:51,855

2869
01:42:51,855 --> 01:42:54,855

2874
01:43:05,102 --> 01:43:06,570
that says that they're not

2875
01:43:06,570 --> 01:43:08,538
allowed to have a moving sign

2876
01:43:08,538 --> 01:43:09,206

2877
01:43:09,206 --> 01:43:12,806

2878
01:43:19,617 --> 01:43:20,184

to help get this MR. Is my

2882
01:43:29,794 --> 01:43:30,528
council person. But what I'm

2883
01:43:30,528 --> 01:43:33,528
talking about is business for

2884
01:43:33,831 --> 01:43:34,999
all of it. Let all of this

2885
01:43:34,999 --> 01:43:37,999
entire city. And you know,

2886
01:43:38,502 --> 01:43:40,404
when I moved here in 2003.

2887
01:43:40,404 --> 01:43:41,500
From Atlanta, I said, you

2888
01:43:41,500 --> 01:43:41,838
know, Jacksonville kind

2889
01:43:41,838 --> 01:43:44,838
reminds me of Atlanta about 35

2890
01:43:48,645 --> 01:43:49,346
years ago. And now in 2026,

2891
01:43:49,346 --> 01:43:51,746
Jacksonville kind reminds me

2892
01:43:53,517 --> 01:43:54,585
of Atlanta about 50 years ago.

2893
01:43:54,585 --> 01:43:56,620
City is in such a position to

2894
01:43:56,620 --> 01:43:58,620
be great.

2895
01:43:59,189 --> 01:44:02,789
>> We have a port. We have

2896
01:44:03,270 --> 01:44:04,962
rail. We have interstates. We

2897
01:44:04,962 --> 01:44:07,932
have good weather. Most of the

2898
01:44:07,932 --> 01:44:08,599
time and we have a workforce

2899
01:44:08,599 --> 01:44:11,599
that's here with a million

2900
01:44:12,269 --> 01:44:13,370

request is to you is to please

2902
01:44:16,400 --> 01:44:17,400
allow business to be business.

2903
01:44:17,400 --> 01:44:17,708
I know we don't want to see

2904
01:44:17,708 --> 01:44:19,430
downtown Jacksonville look

2905
01:44:19,430 --> 01:44:21,780
like downtown Las Vegas, but

2906
01:44:21,780 --> 01:44:23,914
I'm just asking you as a

2907
01:44:23,914 --> 01:44:25,716
business owner to help me be

2908
01:44:25,716 --> 01:44:29,316
allowed to put out a simple

2909
01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:30,554

01:44:38,562 --> 01:44:39,263

helped. Thank you.

2919
01:44:45,369 --> 01:44:46,103
>> Council member Matt

2920
01:44:46,103 --> 01:44:46,771
Carlucci would like to talk to

2921
01:44:46,771 --> 01:44:49,771
in the Green Room. Clarence

2922
01:44:50,174 --> 01:44:52,676
Low. It's clear it's long

2923
01:44:52,676 --> 01:44:55,676
here. What about the net

2924
01:45:00,830 --> 01:45:00,784
Perez? Okay. Well, she's

01:45:00,784 --> 01:45:01,685
coming down to have to speak

2926
01:45:01,685 --> 01:45:05,285
Urquhart who did not wish to

2927
01:45:05,322 --> 01:45:06,257
speak. Debbie Hitchcock

2928
01:45:06,257 --> 01:45:07,825
checked into the disrespect

2929
01:45:07,825 --> 01:45:08,593
shown by council areas to

2930
01:45:08,593 --> 01:45:10,993
Councilmember Day and then

George Gray deep here.

2933
01:45:21,606 --> 01:45:24,108
>> My name is known that per

2934
01:45:24,108 --> 01:45:24,775
ends. And I just retired as a

2935
01:45:24,775 --> 01:45:27,775
school nurse from the Duval

2936
01:45:28,478 --> 01:45:31,810
County Public Schools. I am

2937
01:45:31,810 --> 01:45:33,317
very concerned with the crisis

2938
01:45:33,317 --> 01:45:35,586
occurring in Divide County,

2939
01:45:35,586 --> 01:45:37,288
public Schools, school health

2940
01:45:37,288 --> 01:45:40,288
service. I believe this issue

2941
01:45:41,459 --> 01:45:44,428
is not being addressed. I send

2942
01:45:44,428 --> 01:45:47,428
e-mails of my resignation and

2943
01:45:52,136 --> 01:45:54,710
reasons why. To the members to

2944
01:45:54,710 --> 01:45:54,738
the superintendent, the

2945
01:45:54,738 --> 01:45:56,738
school's superintendent

2946
01:45:57,408 --> 01:46:00,408
members of the board chair

2947
01:46:03,800 --> 01:46:03,747
chair CHAIRMAN And Vice

2948
01:46:03,747 --> 01:46:05,482
chairman, I'm innocent. And

2949
01:46:05,482 --> 01:46:06,216
all those members of the

2950
01:46:06,216 --> 01:46:08,616
school administration, which I

2951
01:46:09,190 --> 01:46:12,190
did not receive any response

2952
01:46:13,824 --> 01:46:15,126
from anyone. Just to inform

2953
01:46:15,126 --> 01:46:18,126
you? Director of nursing had

2954
01:46:18,796 --> 01:46:20,796
resigned. I'm nursing

2955
01:46:22,867 --> 01:46:24,135
supervisor, has resigned. And

2956
01:46:24,135 --> 01:46:25,169
many nurses have resigned

2957
01:46:25,169 --> 01:46:28,169
within the last 3 years. You

2958
01:46:30,408 --> 01:46:32,810
can check to see. Their names.

2959
01:46:32,810 --> 01:46:33,677
Nurses are being replaced with

2960
01:46:33,677 --> 01:46:36,647
non-medical people to fill in

2961
01:46:36,647 --> 01:46:39,483
for school nurses with no

2962
01:46:39,483 --> 01:46:41,483
medical background. For

2963
01:46:42,753 --> 01:46:43,487
instance, like a cna or a

2964
01:46:43,487 --> 01:46:46,487
medical assistant to have some

2965
01:46:48,492 --> 01:46:51,492
medical background. I did want

2966
01:46:54,131 --> 01:46:56,133
to say I am very disappointed.

2967
01:46:56,133 --> 01:46:58,350
Disappointed with the of

2968
01:46:58,350 --> 01:47:00,435
involvement and interaction of

2969
01:47:01,806 --> 01:47:02,439
the dcps administration. And

2970
01:47:02,439 --> 01:47:04,641
the school board with the

2971
01:47:04,641 --> 01:47:06,977
school Health services. I

2972
01:47:06,977 --> 01:47:09,246
believe that is one of the

2973
01:47:09,246 --> 01:47:11,549
reasons why our school

2974
01:47:11,549 --> 01:47:12,216
director, I'm not school

2975
01:47:12,216 --> 01:47:14,216
director nursing director,

2976
01:47:15,419 --> 01:47:17,819
retired resigned because she

2977
01:47:18,155 --> 01:47:18,755
was not included in medical

2978
01:47:18,755 --> 01:47:20,755
decisions regarding our

2979
01:47:25,495 --> 01:47:27,397
students. I believe this is a

2980
01:47:27,397 --> 01:47:28,265
very is very did dangerous

2981
01:47:28,265 --> 01:47:31,865
situation and can become a big

2982
01:47:34,138 --> 01:47:36,240
lawsuit. This is why I am

2983
01:47:36,240 --> 01:47:38,242
resigned. I resigned from my

2984
01:47:38,242 --> 01:47:40,644
position. I do not want to

2985
01:47:40,644 --> 01:47:41,612
place my nursing license

2986
01:47:41,612 --> 01:47:43,612
because of inappropriate

2987
01:47:45,382 --> 01:47:46,917
decision making. Ultimately

2988
01:47:46,917 --> 01:47:50,517
it's the national will and up

2989
01:47:50,521 --> 01:47:52,890
being responsible. We nurses

2990
01:47:52,890 --> 01:47:54,425
are held to a different and

2991
01:47:54,425 --> 01:47:57,425
higher standard of working. We

2992
01:47:58,763 --> 01:48:02,963
took an And I will continue to

2993
01:48:04,302 --> 01:48:05,369
follow I worked. Very hard to

2994
01:48:05,369 --> 01:48:07,771
achieve my license. Thank you,

2995
01:48:07,771 --> 01:48:08,439
Okay. Thank you.

to do with raising 5 million

3087

the emergency motion second on

3103
01:51:46,570 --> 01:51:48,457
the emergency vice PRESIDENT,

3104
01:51:49,127 --> 01:51:50,127
how you're recognized. Thank

3105
01:51:50,127 --> 01:51:51,329
you, MR. PRESIDENT chief

3106
01:51:51,329 --> 01:51:52,196
Clements said jso plan to be

3107
01:51:52,196 --> 01:51:54,365
here. And since this went

3108
01:51:54,365 --> 01:51:56,300
through committees unanimously

3109
01:51:56,300 --> 01:51:57,100
6, 0, 6, 0,

3110
01:51:57,100 --> 01:51:57,702
>> I called him and suggested

3111
01:51:57,702 --> 01:51:59,103
he stay home and have dinner

3112
01:51:59,103 --> 01:52:00,538
with his family. I figure any

3113
01:52:00,538 --> 01:52:01,205
time and over jso can spend

3114
01:52:01,205 --> 01:52:01,806
more time with her family.

3115
01:52:01,806 --> 01:52:03,274
They spent so much time

3116
01:52:03,274 --> 01:52:04,174
protecting our streets in our

3117
01:52:04,174 --> 01:52:06,174
neighborhoods. They should

3118
01:52:07,812 --> 01:52:08,479
spend time with her family. So

3119
01:52:08,479 --> 01:52:09,180
I told him I would explain

3120
01:52:09,180 --> 01:52:09,880
what's happening here. We're

3121
01:52:09,880 --> 01:52:12,880
on the emergency, of course.

3122
01:52:13,170 --> 01:52:13,718
But the whole bill fixes

3123
01:52:13,718 --> 01:52:14,552
schedule be want to have the

3124
01:52:14,552 --> 01:52:15,253
budgets to authorize

3125
01:52:15,253 --> 01:52:16,687
continuation grants. And the

3126
01:52:16,687 --> 01:52:19,570
reason it's an emergency is

3127
01:52:19,570 --> 01:52:19,724
because those grants are

3128
01:52:19,724 --> 01:52:22,124
continuation grants. And if

3129
01:52:22,160 --> 01:52:23,394
there's any disruption, they

3130
01:52:23,394 --> 01:52:25,630
wouldn't get the money they

3131
01:52:25,630 --> 01:52:25,829
need. So being on the

3132
01:52:25,829 --> 01:52:28,229
emergency, it just ensures

3133
01:52:28,499 --> 01:52:29,534
that the continuation remains

3134
01:52:29,534 --> 01:52:30,234
on interrupted. And I fully

3135
01:52:30,234 --> 01:52:32,269
support the emergency in the

3136
01:52:32,269 --> 01:52:33,104
bill. Thank you.

3137
01:52:33,104 --> 01:52:35,390
>> All right. Thank you. We

3138
01:52:35,390 --> 01:52:35,740
had a motion and second on the

3139
01:52:35,740 --> 01:52:36,440
emergency know what's in the

3140
01:52:36,440 --> 01:52:38,840
queue. Unfair. The emergency

3141
01:52:39,911 --> 01:52:40,712
signify by saying Aye any

3142
01:52:40,712 --> 01:52:41,312
opposed say nay to merge

3143
01:52:41,312 --> 01:52:42,614

3144
01:52:42,614 --> 01:52:43,881

the bill as emergency nose in

3146
01:52:44,583 --> 01:52:47,583
the queue. Please open about

3147
01:52:53,524 --> 01:52:55,126

02:00:16,434 --> 02:00:16,512
this location as and probably

3326
02:00:16,512 --> 02:00:16,592
most people do. If you have

3327
02:00:16,592 --> 02:00:18,536
looked at a map or to any

3328
02:00:18,536 --> 02:00:19,103
research about this ordinance,

3329
02:00:19,103 --> 02:00:21,572
you would see that is

3330
02:00:21,572 --> 02:00:23,972
surrounded by forests and

3331
02:00:24,742 --> 02:00:25,409
wetlands and vegetation. You

3332
02:00:25,409 --> 02:00:26,110
know, if you look on Google

3333
02:00:26,110 --> 02:00:29,140
Maps, you can look right now

3334
02:00:29,140 --> 02:00:29,714
this is.

3335
02:00:29,714 --> 02:00:30,415
>> Atrocious. I guess I would

3336
02:00:30,415 --> 02:00:33,984
say is the word I would like

3337
02:00:33,984 --> 02:00:34,653
to use.

3338
02:00:34,653 --> 02:00:37,388
>> How we are just allowing

3339
02:00:37,388 --> 02:00:38,890
all of this.

3340
02:00:38,890 --> 02:00:41,689
>> Land to be changed from a

3341
02:00:41,760 --> 02:00:43,194
rezoning. And why do we even

3342
02:00:43,194 --> 02:00:44,696
have a 2045 comprehensive plan

3343
02:00:44,696 --> 02:00:45,363
if we just keep changing it

3344
02:00:45,363 --> 02:00:48,132
and amending it? Not really

3345
02:00:48,132 --> 02:00:48,666
sure what the reason is for

3346
02:00:48,666 --> 02:00:50,666
that.

3347
02:00:51,669 --> 02:00:52,300
>> So I just want you all to

3348
02:00:52,300 --> 02:00:53,238
in it.

3349
02:00:53,238 --> 02:00:55,638
>> Maybe after council meeting

3350
02:00:56,373 --> 02:00:57,442
during the week look into this

3351
02:00:57,442 --> 02:00:59,311
property. It is not surrounded

3352
02:00:59,311 --> 02:01:02,146
by anyone. It is all

3353
02:01:02,146 --> 02:01:02,480
vegetation. What is the reason

3354
02:01:02,480 --> 02:01:04,480
to do?

3355
02:01:05,449 --> 02:01:06,984
>> 337 acres.

3356
02:01:06,984 --> 02:01:09,984
>> In that area having it

3357
02:01:12,190 --> 02:01:14,250
rezoned 2 from. Rural

3358
02:01:14,250 --> 02:01:15,960
residential, too low density

3359
02:01:15,960 --> 02:01:16,828
residential. I understand we

3360
02:01:16,828 --> 02:01:17,495
want development. This is not

3361
02:01:17,495 --> 02:01:21,232
the area to do it. This it

3362
02:01:21,232 --> 02:01:24,232
would be. Not only suburban

3363
02:01:24,902 --> 02:01:25,536
sprawl, urban sprawl, you

3364
02:01:25,536 --> 02:01:26,237
know, you're putting this

3365
02:01:26,237 --> 02:01:27,739
development. I don't know if

3366
02:01:27,739 --> 02:01:28,572
you are getting more

3367
02:01:28,572 --> 02:01:30,441
information than we received

3368
02:01:30,441 --> 02:01:30,908
when we look into all these

3369
02:01:30,908 --> 02:01:31,976
ordinances.

3370
02:01:31,976 --> 02:01:34,746
>> When I come to city council

3371
02:01:34,746 --> 02:01:35,480
meetings, I understand it.

3372
02:01:35,480 --> 02:01:37,348
Click on the links. I open all

3373
02:01:37,348 --> 02:01:38,820
the exhibits like, you know,

3374
02:01:38,820 --> 02:01:41,682
I'm not sure if you getting

3375
02:01:41,719 --> 02:01:42,620
extra information, but I don't

3376
02:01:42,620 --> 02:01:43,721
see the point for the purpose

3377
02:01:43,721 --> 02:01:47,258
for this change. And I would

3378
02:01:47,258 --> 02:01:49,930
love to know why we just

3379
02:01:49,930 --> 02:01:51,229
casually go through all of

3380
02:01:51,229 --> 02:01:52,163
these without any discussion.

3381
02:01:52,163 --> 02:01:52,863
I know you guys are busy. I

3382
02:01:52,863 --> 02:01:55,863
understand it's a long night

3383
02:01:55,866 --> 02:01:57,268
and you do one more time to be

3384
02:01:57,268 --> 02:01:58,102
wasted. I guess it's waste to

3385
02:01:58,102 --> 02:01:59,737
you because you just want to

3386
02:01:59,737 --> 02:02:01,737
prove everything. But

3387
02:02:04,441 --> 02:02:05,110
>> you know, it's not right.

3388
02:02:05,110 --> 02:02:05,911
You know, I worry that you

3389
02:02:05,911 --> 02:02:08,880
guys don't care about the

3390
02:02:08,880 --> 02:02:10,880
environment of Jacksonville.

3391
02:02:10,982 --> 02:02:11,749
You know, we again are on and

3392
02:02:11,749 --> 02:02:13,385
off for 90% of Jacksonville

3393
02:02:13,385 --> 02:02:15,386
uses the water from the

3394
02:02:15,386 --> 02:02:16,154
aquifer.

3395
02:02:16,154 --> 02:02:16,821
>> If we continue to destroy

3396
02:02:16,821 --> 02:02:19,190
all the land, that water is

3397
02:02:19,190 --> 02:02:20,558
going to be polluted and we

3398
02:02:20,558 --> 02:02:22,590
are not going to be happy with

3399
02:02:22,590 --> 02:02:22,827
the way that things are going.

3400
02:02:22,827 --> 02:02:23,695
You know, we have a river

3401
02:02:23,695 --> 02:02:27,295
where the city of Rivers are

3402
02:02:27,398 --> 02:02:27,998
reversed, dusting, you know,

3403
02:02:27,998 --> 02:02:28,633
they're reason we have

3404
02:02:28,633 --> 02:02:30,601
education in Florida and

3405
02:02:30,601 --> 02:02:34,201
things like that is to help

3406
02:02:34,205 --> 02:02:36,208
filter the pollution again.

3407
02:02:36,208 --> 02:02:37,374
You know, it's easy for you

3408
02:02:37,374 --> 02:02:39,110
all to approve things without

3409
02:02:39,110 --> 02:02:40,778
a second guessed or second

3410
02:02:40,778 --> 02:02:42,881
thought. But it concerns me

3411
02:02:42,881 --> 02:02:43,814
that we're not even paying

3412
02:02:43,814 --> 02:02:45,817
attention to what we're

3413
02:02:45,817 --> 02:02:46,784
proving because this is

3414
02:02:46,784 --> 02:02:48,520
atrocious. And I think you

3415
02:02:48,520 --> 02:02:49,787
will need to take step back

3416
02:02:49,787 --> 02:02:50,422
and look and actually do some

3417
02:02:50,422 --> 02:02:51,922
research into what you're

3418
02:02:51,922 --> 02:02:53,922
proving. Thank you.

3419
02:02:56,527 --> 02:02:57,194
>> No more speakers.

3420
02:02:57,194 --> 02:02:57,862
>> Alright, public hearings

3421
02:02:57,862 --> 02:03:00,262
close. An additional public

3422
02:03:00,432 --> 02:03:03,432
hearing will be on one 27. 26.

3423
02:03:03,501 --> 02:03:04,236
>> We're now page 19 for 3rd

3424
02:03:04,236 --> 02:03:06,236
reading ordinances, beginning

3425
02:03:07,472 --> 02:03:09,107

JANUARY 16th, 2026 and no

3430
02:03:14,478 --> 02:03:17,478
action is required. All right.

3431
02:03:18,349 --> 02:03:19,317
Thank you. As floor leader. 36

3432
02:03:19,317 --> 02:03:21,252
Twenty-twenty Pfizer, 86 6.

3433
02:03:21,252 --> 02:03:21,852
There is a Floor Amendment

3434
02:03:21,852 --> 02:03:22,554
council PRESIDENT From

3435
02:03:22,554 --> 02:03:24,554
Councilmember Areas. Alright

3436
02:03:26,824 --> 02:03:27,491
Council Marius recognized. I

3437
02:03:27,491 --> 02:03:28,860
think you MR. PRESIDENT. I

3438
02:03:28,860 --> 02:03:29,760
just want to make sure that

3439
02:03:29,760 --> 02:03:31,930
everybody in the sense what's

3440
02:03:31,930 --> 02:03:33,631
happening with amendment. I

3441
02:03:33,631 --> 02:03:34,332
wasn't on committee meeting

3442
02:03:34,332 --> 02:03:35,320
for neighbors and rules Knots

3443
02:03:35,320 --> 02:03:35,733
week, but essentially is bill

3444
02:03:35,733 --> 02:03:37,635
came about because

3445
02:03:37,635 --> 02:03:40,539
>> a local restaurant here in

3446
02:03:40,539 --> 02:03:41,405
town got cited by the health

3447
02:03:41,405 --> 02:03:43,805
department saying, hey, you,

3448
02:03:44,308 --> 02:03:45,177
you have animal in your patio

3449
02:03:45,177 --> 02:03:46,878
and you're not allowed to have

3450
02:03:46,878 --> 02:03:47,545
a pet in the patio, which is

3451
02:03:47,545 --> 02:03:48,246
kind of weird because most

3452
02:03:48,246 --> 02:03:49,130
restaurants allowing animals

3453
02:03:49,130 --> 02:03:51,130
inside the establishments,

3454
02:03:52,160 --> 02:03:52,717
especially on the patio. Now,

3455
02:03:52,717 --> 02:03:53,317
this animal is not a service

3456
02:03:53,317 --> 02:03:54,719
animal. That was just a

3457
02:03:54,719 --> 02:03:56,870
regular pet. And so the

3458
02:03:56,870 --> 02:03:58,487
gentleman said, ok, fine,

3459
02:03:59,390 --> 02:04:00,570
where I get my permit and help

3460
02:04:00,570 --> 02:04:00,758
the promise that, well, you

3461
02:04:00,758 --> 02:04:03,561
got to reach out to the city

3462
02:04:03,561 --> 02:04:04,262
to your permit. He called the

3463
02:04:04,262 --> 02:04:04,962
city and the city said, well,

3464
02:04:04,962 --> 02:04:06,363
we don't give these permits.

3465
02:04:06,363 --> 02:04:07,999
We do have a way to give you a

3466
02:04:07,999 --> 02:04:08,699
permit. So he was kind of the

3467
02:04:08,699 --> 02:04:11,136
conundrum like what I do that

3468
02:04:11,136 --> 02:04:11,769
he's going to get cited again.

3469
02:04:11,769 --> 02:04:15,406
So what we had to do was

3470
02:04:15,406 --> 02:04:16,874
actually create a permit now

3471
02:04:16,874 --> 02:04:17,975
for for all the months

3472
02:04:17,975 --> 02:04:20,111
establishments to be able to

3473
02:04:20,111 --> 02:04:21,913
say, coming up live with

3474
02:04:21,913 --> 02:04:22,980
permit and the fees are

3475
02:04:22,980 --> 02:04:25,490
normally like $25. So what I

3476
02:04:25,490 --> 02:04:25,950
decided to what I worked out

3477
02:04:25,950 --> 02:04:26,885
with the time finalist to say,

3478
02:04:26,885 --> 02:04:27,552
okay, we're not charge anybody

3479
02:04:27,552 --> 02:04:28,253
a fee for these permits

3480
02:04:28,253 --> 02:04:30,889
because this is a permit that

3481
02:04:30,889 --> 02:04:31,589
was really just created just

3482
02:04:31,589 --> 02:04:34,326
to kind of, you know. Suffice

3483
02:04:34,326 --> 02:04:35,600
for the health department. So

3484
02:04:35,600 --> 02:04:35,760
that's taking care of. We have

3485
02:04:35,760 --> 02:04:37,795
a permanent place now show we

3486
02:04:37,795 --> 02:04:40,397
pass this bill but not sweet.

3487
02:04:40,397 --> 02:04:41,766
And the committee meeting. I

3488
02:04:41,766 --> 02:04:42,733
wasn't here and I know that

3489
02:04:42,733 --> 02:04:43,368
Murray, MISTER Had some

3490
02:04:43,368 --> 02:04:45,768
concerns about that. The

3491
02:04:46,170 --> 02:04:46,771
signage and so if anybody has

3492
02:04:46,771 --> 02:04:47,372
a business or any kind

3493
02:04:47,372 --> 02:04:49,772
whatever weather is, a

3494
02:04:50,742 --> 02:04:51,375
restaurant or whatever you

3495
02:04:51,375 --> 02:04:52,760
want to be sure that the

3496
02:04:52,760 --> 02:04:53,511
business, especially nowadays

3497
02:04:53,511 --> 02:04:54,212
with Instagram and social

3498
02:04:54,212 --> 02:04:56,480
media to the aesthetic Snook

3499
02:04:56,480 --> 02:04:58,583
spacing, one people walking in

3500
02:04:58,583 --> 02:04:59,951
and to have a sign like this.

3501
02:04:59,951 --> 02:05:00,618
That's on this picture. The

3502
02:05:00,618 --> 02:05:04,218
size of this paper at your

3503
02:05:04,990 --> 02:05:06,825
front door. All right. So I

3504
02:05:06,825 --> 02:05:08,426
understand This is mainly to

3505
02:05:08,426 --> 02:05:09,600
protect people. In case

3506
02:05:09,600 --> 02:05:09,694
they're legit to dogs or

3507
02:05:09,694 --> 02:05:12,940
they're scared of animals

3508
02:05:13,640 --> 02:05:13,731
where the cases because this

3509
02:05:13,731 --> 02:05:15,666
bill is literally only for

3510
02:05:15,666 --> 02:05:17,669
outdoor patios of his foot

3511
02:05:17,669 --> 02:05:18,403
establishments. I made a for

3512
02:05:18,403 --> 02:05:21,706
amendment and I would hope you

3513
02:05:21,706 --> 02:05:22,373
have supported the says. That

3514
02:05:22,373 --> 02:05:23,740
we will no longer have. We

3515
02:05:23,740 --> 02:05:24,942
will not put the signs at the

3516
02:05:24,942 --> 02:05:25,710
front door of the restaurant.

3517
02:05:25,710 --> 02:05:28,513
However, when you walk into

3518
02:05:28,513 --> 02:05:29,847
the patio, the restaurant this

3519
02:05:29,847 --> 02:05:30,548
time will be at the patio. So

3520
02:05:30,548 --> 02:05:31,249
people will still be able to

3521
02:05:31,249 --> 02:05:34,249
be notified that there could

3522
02:05:34,419 --> 02:05:36,321
be a potential animal at that

3523
02:05:36,321 --> 02:05:39,557
patio. So that's all this is a

3524
02:05:39,557 --> 02:05:40,391
pretty for amendment. I said

3525
02:05:40,391 --> 02:05:41,580
it's just because if you guys

3526
02:05:41,580 --> 02:05:41,960
and supported, we will have

3527
02:05:41,960 --> 02:05:42,627
one of the front door and also

3528
02:05:42,627 --> 02:05:44,610
on the patio door. So it's

3529
02:05:44,610 --> 02:05:45,229
kind of like we've done done

3530
02:05:45,229 --> 02:05:45,896
so let's just remove the one

3531
02:05:45,896 --> 02:05:47,198
from the front door to keep

3532
02:05:47,198 --> 02:05:49,367
the aesthetics of the

3533
02:05:49,367 --> 02:05:50,000
restaurant. And that's it. So

3534
02:05:50,000 --> 02:05:51,636
I mean, that is in here.

3535
02:05:51,636 --> 02:05:54,636
Johnson, thank you. All right.

3536
02:05:56,374 --> 02:05:57,420
Thank you, Doctor Salem. We

3537
02:05:57,420 --> 02:06:00,642
have a motion and a second

3538
02:06:00,845 --> 02:06:01,513
doctor. Salem recognized.

3539
02:06:01,513 --> 02:06:04,215
Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT, I

3540
02:06:04,215 --> 02:06:07,815
just want to clarify a point.

3541
02:06:09,887 --> 02:06:10,722
>> The issue that I had with.

3542
02:06:10,722 --> 02:06:11,422
With with this bill was that

3543
02:06:11,422 --> 02:06:15,622
if I'm on a patio eating with

3544
02:06:15,759 --> 02:06:17,695
my grandkids. I want to know

3545
02:06:17,695 --> 02:06:18,330
before go out on that patio,

3546
02:06:18,330 --> 02:06:20,730
that dogs are potentially

3547
02:06:23,501 --> 02:06:24,669
going to be out there. I have

3548
02:06:24,669 --> 02:06:25,937
no issue of taking it off the

3549
02:06:25,937 --> 02:06:26,838
front door. I think that's a

3550
02:06:26,838 --> 02:06:29,238
reasonable thing. But that's

3551
02:06:30,508 --> 02:06:32,343
the issue from a and I want to

3552
02:06:32,343 --> 02:06:34,245
make sure that this sign is on

3553
02:06:34,245 --> 02:06:35,880
every entrance to the patio.

3554
02:06:35,880 --> 02:06:39,480
Is that is that? Is that

3555
02:06:44,823 --> 02:06:45,523
correct?

3556
02:06:45,523 --> 02:06:46,224
>> To Councilmember Salem, I

3557
02:06:46,224 --> 02:06:48,260
apologize. Can you ask me the

3558
02:06:48,260 --> 02:06:49,930
question again on the state?

3559
02:06:49,930 --> 02:06:52,930
It's just sign on every

3560
02:06:52,930 --> 02:06:53,664
entrance to the patio.

3561
02:06:53,664 --> 02:06:55,320
>> Yeah, through the PRESIDENT

3562
02:06:55,320 --> 02:06:56,267
To Councilmember Salem. So

3563
02:06:56,267 --> 02:06:58,300
yes, the Arias for amendment

3564
02:06:58,300 --> 02:06:59,237
is essentially the same as the

3565
02:06:59,237 --> 02:07:00,939
Rules Committee amendment.

3566
02:07:00,939 --> 02:07:01,973
With the exception of it,

3567
02:07:01,973 --> 02:07:03,374
removes the language that

3568
02:07:03,374 --> 02:07:04,242
would have also required the

3569
02:07:04,242 --> 02:07:05,943
signs that are depicted there

3570
02:07:05,943 --> 02:07:07,440
to be at the entrance to the

3571
02:07:07,440 --> 02:07:08,145
establishment.

3572
02:07:08,145 --> 02:07:09,313
>> But it still retains the

3573
02:07:09,313 --> 02:07:12,160
language that requires that at

3574
02:07:12,160 --> 02:07:14,185
each entrance to the patio

3575
02:07:14,185 --> 02:07:15,353
that assign be posted and is

3576
02:07:15,353 --> 02:07:17,890
not as look at this, the sign

3577
02:07:17,890 --> 02:07:17,322
can be horizontal or vertical

3578
02:07:17,322 --> 02:07:17,397
e#

3579
02:07:17,397 --> 02:07:17,470
#

3580
02:07:17,470 --> 02:07:17,540
#

3581
02:07:17,540 --> 02:07:18,123
#

3582
02:07:18,123 --> 02:07:20,124
and there's a depiction

3583
02:07:20,124 --> 02:07:20,759
of each variation in the code

3584
02:07:20,759 --> 02:07:23,610
for use of reference for

3585
02:07:23,610 --> 02:07:24,950
individuals who would want to

3586
02:07:24,950 --> 02:07:27,310
know. Tom Fine with that. Just

3587
02:07:27,310 --> 02:07:28,990
to make the council aware as

3588
02:07:28,990 --> 02:07:29,334
well on in the code, the

3589
02:07:29,334 --> 02:07:30,835
circle in the checkmark around

3590
02:07:30,835 --> 02:07:31,536
the dog will be depicted in

3591
02:07:31,536 --> 02:07:34,639
green. It's just a black and

3592
02:07:34,639 --> 02:07:35,506
white copy on your amendment.

3593
02:07:35,506 --> 02:07:36,173
I would urge with that

3594
02:07:36,173 --> 02:07:38,573
clarification vote for the

3595
02:07:40,111 --> 02:07:42,111
amendment.

3596
02:07:42,179 --> 02:07:43,381
>> Right. No other speakers in

3597
02:07:43,381 --> 02:07:44,480
the queue all in favor of the

3598
02:07:44,480 --> 02:07:46,448
amendment signify by saying

3599
02:07:47,319 --> 02:07:48,190
Aye, aye, any opposed say nay.

3600
02:07:48,190 --> 02:07:51,619
The carries. I moved the bill

3601
02:07:52,457 --> 02:07:53,157
as amended. Got a motion and

3602
02:07:53,157 --> 02:07:53,791
second on the bill as amended

3603
02:07:53,791 --> 02:07:56,791
known in the Queue. About

3604
02:08:08,390 --> 02:08:10,390
record about.

3605
02:08:11,643 --> 02:08:12,377
>> 18 yeas, 0 nays.

3606
02:08:12,377 --> 02:08:14,377
>> I actually approved 2025 0,

3607
02:08:15,846 --> 02:08:16,515
8, 6, 6 as amended.

3608
02:08:16,515 --> 02:08:17,949
>> They said Twenty-twenty

3609
02:08:17,949 --> 02:08:18,650
Pfizer, a 6, 9, council

3610
02:08:18,650 --> 02:08:21,650
PRESIDENT As we have multiple

3611
02:08:22,253 --> 02:08:23,288
floor amendments on this bill.

3612
02:08:23,288 --> 02:08:24,220
>> Already. So before we move

3613
02:08:24,220 --> 02:08:27,225
that bill there, anyone in the

3614
02:08:27,225 --> 02:08:27,859
queue with floor amendments.

3615
02:08:27,859 --> 02:08:29,859
COUNCILWOMAN Clark, Mary

3616
02:08:35,200 --> 02:08:37,200
recognized.

3617
02:08:41,500 --> 02:08:43,308
>> Thank Present Carrico. As

3618
02:08:43,308 --> 02:08:45,409
you can't imagine this

3619
02:08:45,409 --> 02:08:46,311
particular bill. I think it

3620
02:08:46,311 --> 02:08:49,311
has. It's being presented in

3621
02:08:49,347 --> 02:08:52,216
very good faith and I can

3622
02:08:52,216 --> 02:08:55,216
understand the impetus for it.

3623
02:08:55,887 --> 02:08:58,623
However, I do. Want look at

3624
02:08:58,623 --> 02:09:01,326
both sides of it. And I think

3625
02:09:01,326 --> 02:09:02,760
some of the issues can tell

3626
02:09:02,760 --> 02:09:03,561
you some of the things that

3627
02:09:03,561 --> 02:09:04,429
people said to me in regards

3628
02:09:04,429 --> 02:09:05,963
to the last installation was

3629
02:09:05,963 --> 02:09:08,333
that they didn't know when it

3630
02:09:08,333 --> 02:09:10,101
was going to occur. And that

3631
02:09:10,101 --> 02:09:12,501
they actually came down

3632
02:09:12,871 --> 02:09:13,504
downtown for it. And they were

3633
02:09:13,504 --> 02:09:16,504
like, where's it going to

3634
02:09:17,876 --> 02:09:18,610
occur? In addition to that,

3635
02:09:18,610 --> 02:09:22,210
they when they found out about

3636
02:09:22,247 --> 02:09:23,448
it. Was out, there would end

3637
02:09:23,448 --> 02:09:24,480
that. They said, that's way

3638
02:09:24,480 --> 02:09:26,840
too far. Wasn't always

3639
02:09:26,840 --> 02:09:28,484
downtown. And I couldn't

3640
02:09:28,886 --> 02:09:30,421
answer that question. In

3641
02:09:30,421 --> 02:09:31,990
addition to that, they des

3642
02:09:31,990 --> 02:09:35,590
they the these are people who

3643
02:09:36,461 --> 02:09:37,128
love the city. They typically

3644
02:09:37,128 --> 02:09:40,128
attend in and talking about

3645
02:09:40,632 --> 02:09:41,299
seniors as well. So with that

3646
02:09:41,299 --> 02:09:42,100
being said, and some of the

3647
02:09:42,100 --> 02:09:44,969
other issues is speaking with

3648
02:09:44,969 --> 02:09:47,969
the public comments that were

3649
02:09:48,572 --> 02:09:50,572
made earlier.

3650
02:09:52,311 --> 02:09:54,746
>> The s the the aspect of

3651
02:09:54,746 --> 02:09:56,746
public access. So

3652
02:09:59,500 --> 02:09:59,785
>> being able to attend the

3653
02:09:59,785 --> 02:10:00,385
installation. That's what they

3654
02:10:00,385 --> 02:10:01,853
really really want. In

3655
02:10:01,853 --> 02:10:03,654
addition to the funding

3656
02:10:03,654 --> 02:10:04,389
aspect. But with this

3657
02:10:04,389 --> 02:10:06,789
particular flu amendment, what

3658
02:10:07,392 --> 02:10:10,495
I'm asking is that. Is the

3659
02:10:10,495 --> 02:10:12,997
other part of it. I can

3660
02:10:12,997 --> 02:10:15,997
understand the the pride. And

3661
02:10:16,935 --> 02:10:19,337
the the late Mont, the joy

3662
02:10:19,337 --> 02:10:22,337
that goes along with being.

3663
02:10:22,440 --> 02:10:23,107
Selected, voted as PRESIDENT

3664
02:10:23,107 --> 02:10:26,107
And vice PRESIDENT Of City

3665
02:10:26,110 --> 02:10:28,510
Council. I can understand

3666
02:10:29,214 --> 02:10:30,982
that. So with that being said,

3667
02:10:30,982 --> 02:10:34,419
I am proposing that we strike

3668
02:10:34,419 --> 02:10:36,454
certain aspects from this

3669
02:10:36,454 --> 02:10:38,523
particular bill and those

3670
02:10:38,523 --> 02:10:39,190
aspects being event related

3671
02:10:39,190 --> 02:10:41,920
there, too. And you should

3672
02:10:41,920 --> 02:10:42,827
have lots women in front of

3673
02:10:42,827 --> 02:10:47,270
you. So the at the idea is

3674
02:10:47,265 --> 02:10:49,467
that those events that occur.

3675
02:10:49,467 --> 02:10:50,435
I'd be on the installation

3676
02:10:50,435 --> 02:10:51,503
process. There's the idea that

3677
02:10:51,503 --> 02:10:55,103
it's being paid for by the

3678
02:10:55,640 --> 02:10:57,508
public. It is not funded with

3679
02:10:57,508 --> 02:10:58,376
public dollars. There's a

3680
02:10:58,376 --> 02:10:59,430
portion of it that funded with

3681
02:10:59,430 --> 02:11:00,979
public dollars. And that is

3682
02:11:00,979 --> 02:11:02,979
typically the installation.

3683
02:11:04,949 --> 02:11:06,830
Now there are cases where the

3684
02:11:06,830 --> 02:11:06,751
portion where you have food

3685
02:11:06,751 --> 02:11:08,319
you have drinks, you know,

3686
02:11:08,319 --> 02:11:12,519
that type of thing is held in

3687
02:11:14,580 --> 02:11:15,793
the same space. However, food

3688
02:11:15,793 --> 02:11:16,795
drinks, decorations and other

3689
02:11:16,795 --> 02:11:18,663
aspects are not paid for with

3690
02:11:18,663 --> 02:11:21,990
city funds. They're paid by

3691
02:11:21,990 --> 02:11:24,236
donors. And so because of that

3692
02:11:24,236 --> 02:11:24,936
reason, I'm asking too strike

3693
02:11:24,936 --> 02:11:27,336
that particular language from

3694
02:11:28,906 --> 02:11:31,475
the bill. Because that aspect

3695
02:11:31,475 --> 02:11:32,176
is not being paid for by

3696
02:11:32,176 --> 02:11:34,576
public funds. And that's

3697
02:11:34,812 --> 02:11:36,812
another concern that

3698
02:11:37,215 --> 02:11:38,490
constituents and the city has.

3699
02:11:38,490 --> 02:11:41,649
And so that's Muslim. And I

3700
02:11:44,789 --> 02:11:46,191
will take questions.

3701
02:11:46,191 --> 02:11:46,958
>> All right. We have a motion

3702
02:11:46,958 --> 02:11:50,558
and second on the Floor past

3703
02:11:54,599 --> 02:11:56,999
present Carlucci. I through

3704
02:11:57,234 --> 02:12:00,172
chair. I think understand. But

3705
02:12:00,172 --> 02:12:03,108
the floor amendment is. As

3706
02:12:03,108 --> 02:12:06,244
long as the event is held in a

3707
02:12:06,244 --> 02:12:09,244
public city space. If your

3708
02:12:12,717 --> 02:12:13,418
amendment keeps. After the

3709
02:12:13,418 --> 02:12:16,418
installation in a city public

3710
02:12:18,823 --> 02:12:19,457
own building. If you're only

3711
02:12:19,457 --> 02:12:22,127
talking about, I'm not a

3712
02:12:22,127 --> 02:12:24,162
question of you talk about the

3713
02:12:24,162 --> 02:12:25,197
cost, but I tend of what I'm

3714
02:12:25,197 --> 02:12:27,899
doing. Really. I didn't touch

3715
02:12:27,899 --> 02:12:30,368
some eye. Wasn't the intent of

3716
02:12:30,368 --> 02:12:33,604
the cost. Although I think the

3717
02:12:33,604 --> 02:12:34,305
costs on this was a little

3718
02:12:34,305 --> 02:12:36,875
more than generally is on pup

3719
02:12:36,875 --> 02:12:37,642
on the public buildings. But I

3720
02:12:37,642 --> 02:12:41,242
just want the entire thing to

3721
02:12:41,946 --> 02:12:45,516
be held. In a public city own.

3722
02:12:45,516 --> 02:12:48,620
Facility. In years. Keep it in

3723
02:12:48,620 --> 02:12:50,889
a city-owned facility. And

3724
02:12:50,889 --> 02:12:51,856
then if you could expand a

3725
02:12:51,856 --> 02:12:53,724
little more so I can get a

3726
02:12:53,724 --> 02:12:55,760
little more clarity on which

3727
02:12:55,760 --> 02:12:58,160
are amendment us. Absolutely.

3728
02:12:58,463 --> 02:12:59,630
The PRESIDENT Too.

3729
02:12:59,630 --> 02:13:01,630
>> Past PRESIDENT Matt

3730
02:13:02,234 --> 02:13:04,234
Carlucci.

3731
02:13:04,402 --> 02:13:06,103
>> Yes. So what this does is

3732
02:13:06,103 --> 02:13:08,500
focusing actually separating

3733
02:13:08,500 --> 02:13:08,473
the installation from the

3734
02:13:08,473 --> 02:13:10,750
related events.

3735
02:13:10,750 --> 02:13:11,176
>> Once again, if you look at

3736
02:13:11,176 --> 02:13:13,110
the bill and the current

3737
02:13:13,110 --> 02:13:13,644
ordinance, this is like event,

3738
02:13:13,644 --> 02:13:14,579
60 days before the

3739
02:13:14,579 --> 02:13:16,979
installation. And then 60 days

3740
02:13:19,718 --> 02:13:22,654
after so the vetted. In my

3741
02:13:22,654 --> 02:13:23,688
mind is where you go in It's

3742
02:13:23,688 --> 02:13:26,880
basically you celebrate its

3743
02:13:26,357 --> 02:13:27,580
not the actual process of

3744
02:13:27,580 --> 02:13:29,360
being installed as PRESIDENT

3745
02:13:29,360 --> 02:13:30,761
Or vice PRESIDENT. It's it. It

3746
02:13:30,761 --> 02:13:31,463
is where you yes, you

3747
02:13:31,463 --> 02:13:32,197
celebrate. You have fun with

3748
02:13:32,197 --> 02:13:34,232
your family. You have fun with

3749
02:13:34,232 --> 02:13:36,670
friends. That type of thing.

3750
02:13:36,670 --> 02:13:39,667
So I'm I am distinguishing the

3751
02:13:39,871 --> 02:13:41,840
2 because the that aspect once

3752
02:13:41,840 --> 02:13:42,974
again, spoken with

3753
02:13:42,974 --> 02:13:43,608
representatives from

3754
02:13:43,608 --> 02:13:45,608
legislative services, the

3755
02:13:46,770 --> 02:13:46,978
food, the drinks, that type of

3756
02:13:46,978 --> 02:13:47,679
thing. It's paved. The donor

3757
02:13:47,679 --> 02:13:50,679
dollars not with public does

3758
02:13:52,170 --> 02:13:52,717
so. I'm distinguishing the 2.

3759
02:13:52,717 --> 02:13:53,618
>> Case. You just talk about

3760
02:13:53,618 --> 02:13:56,180
80 present. Okay. Bye. Yeah.

3761
02:13:56,788 --> 02:13:58,590
Yeah. Floor. So any event, 60

3762
02:13:58,590 --> 02:13:59,257
days before afterwards, these

3763
02:13:59,257 --> 02:14:02,257
will make sure they're paid

3764
02:14:06,565 --> 02:14:07,332
for with private dollars. To

3765
02:14:07,332 --> 02:14:07,999
the to the PRESIDENT To

3766
02:14:07,999 --> 02:14:09,999
Councilmember Matt Carlucci

3767
02:14:12,337 --> 02:14:13,538
guests are okay. I'm fine with

3768
02:14:13,538 --> 02:14:14,205
that. And I do have that Plus

3769
02:14:14,205 --> 02:14:16,941
in the queue. So I let her

3770
02:14:16,941 --> 02:14:18,210
expound a little bit.

3771
02:14:18,210 --> 02:14:20,378
>> Thank you. I just wanted to

3772
02:14:20,378 --> 02:14:21,460
offer some opportunity for

3773
02:14:21,460 --> 02:14:21,746
clarification. If that's ok

3774
02:14:21,746 --> 02:14:22,347
with you, Councilmember Clark

3775
02:14:22,347 --> 02:14:24,182
Murray. So through the

3776
02:14:24,182 --> 02:14:25,183
PRESIDENT To Councilmember

3777
02:14:25,183 --> 02:14:27,183
Carlucci. So Councilmember

3778
02:14:27,985 --> 02:14:28,719
Clark, Murray's amendment is

3779
02:14:28,719 --> 02:14:29,988
removing any language from the

3780
02:14:29,988 --> 02:14:31,990
bill that speaks to the

3781
02:14:31,990 --> 02:14:32,957
related events. So if the

3782
02:14:32,957 --> 02:14:33,558
amendment is approved, that

3783
02:14:33,558 --> 02:14:35,558
means the installation

3784
02:14:36,994 --> 02:14:39,994
ceremony itself. The taking of

3785
02:14:40,980 --> 02:14:40,798
the oath of office that the

3786
02:14:40,798 --> 02:14:41,532
address by the PRESIDENT, the

3787
02:14:41,532 --> 02:14:43,168
vice PRESIDENT With respect to

3788
02:14:43,168 --> 02:14:44,200
goals and objectives for the

3789
02:14:44,200 --> 02:14:47,200
ensuing year, we'd all occur

3790
02:14:47,339 --> 02:14:49,207
in a city facility open to the

3791
02:14:49,207 --> 02:14:49,874
public. That is the official

3792
02:14:49,874 --> 02:14:51,476
business that occurs of the

3793
02:14:51,476 --> 02:14:52,477
council at that portion of the

3794
02:14:52,477 --> 02:14:55,880
event. If there is a party to

3795
02:14:55,880 --> 02:14:59,480
be had af 2 words to celebrate

3796
02:14:59,817 --> 02:15:00,518
the installation. Based on

3797
02:15:00,518 --> 02:15:01,920
this amendment that would no

3798
02:15:01,920 --> 02:15:03,880
longer be required to be open

3799
02:15:03,880 --> 02:15:04,189
to the public are held in a

3800
02:15:04,189 --> 02:15:06,557
city facility. That part is

3801
02:15:06,557 --> 02:15:10,157
being removed from the bill to

3802
02:15:10,361 --> 02:15:12,397
allow the incoming leadership

3803
02:15:12,397 --> 02:15:13,980
record and I believe confirm

3804
02:15:13,980 --> 02:15:13,832
Councilmember Clark Murray's

3805
02:15:13,832 --> 02:15:14,532
perspective. She explained she

3806
02:15:14,532 --> 02:15:16,568
recognizes that they have to

3807
02:15:16,568 --> 02:15:17,202
do their own fundraising or

3808
02:15:17,202 --> 02:15:18,136
don't receive donors for

3809
02:15:18,136 --> 02:15:20,400
those. And she did not want to

3810
02:15:20,400 --> 02:15:22,404
require the same obligations

3811
02:15:24,542 --> 02:15:25,343
on that. Party event that

3812
02:15:25,343 --> 02:15:27,379
would be required on the

3813
02:15:27,379 --> 02:15:28,790
installation, which the

3814
02:15:28,790 --> 02:15:29,281
installation is also required

3815
02:15:29,281 --> 02:15:29,981
to be held in the sunshine as

3816
02:15:29,981 --> 02:15:33,151
well. So it's noticed an open

3817
02:15:33,151 --> 02:15:33,752
to the public as required

3818
02:15:33,752 --> 02:15:35,820
under the Sunshine law,

3819
02:15:35,820 --> 02:15:36,254
irrespective of the

3820
02:15:36,254 --> 02:15:36,921
legislation.

3821
02:15:36,921 --> 02:15:39,921
>> Okay. We'll not my whole

3822
02:15:40,291 --> 02:15:41,250
intent to the PRESIDENT Too.

3823
02:15:41,250 --> 02:15:43,425
My friend Councilmember Clark,

3824
02:15:53,438 --> 02:15:57,800
murder. I get back. Repeat it.

3825
02:15:57,800 --> 02:15:57,909
This PRESIDENT. My whole

3826
02:15:57,909 --> 02:15:59,711
regard for the whole intent

3827
02:15:59,711 --> 02:16:03,311
for the 60 day before in the

3828
02:16:04,382 --> 02:16:05,830
60's afters. The event was if

3829
02:16:05,830 --> 02:16:07,483
whoever was PRESIDENT Wanted

3830
02:16:09,720 --> 02:16:12,224
to have a party or some type

3831
02:16:12,224 --> 02:16:14,624
of ceremony. Whatever. Before

3832
02:16:16,600 --> 02:16:16,861
the installation. And wanted

3833
02:16:16,861 --> 02:16:19,897
to have it. I wanted to be in

3834
02:16:19,897 --> 02:16:20,598
public. Its city-owned

3835
02:16:20,598 --> 02:16:24,198
facility, not in some kind of

3836
02:16:26,104 --> 02:16:26,805
a private. Private facility.

3837
02:16:26,805 --> 02:16:28,607
In other words, anything has

3838
02:16:28,607 --> 02:16:31,607
to do with the installation.

3839
02:16:31,809 --> 02:16:33,344
The celebration, a party, even

3840
02:16:33,344 --> 02:16:35,680
it the installation was a part

3841
02:16:35,680 --> 02:16:38,616
of it. I wanted to be held in

3842
02:16:38,616 --> 02:16:41,219
a public facility or the

3843
02:16:41,219 --> 02:16:41,919
public was welcomed to attend.

3844
02:16:41,919 --> 02:16:46,119
So that's why I want to leave

3845
02:16:47,920 --> 02:16:47,793
it in there. If it means

3846
02:16:47,793 --> 02:16:50,793
paying for with private money

3847
02:16:56,100 --> 02:16:57,268
from fine with me. So the

3848
02:16:57,268 --> 02:16:58,903
amendment has been moved and

3849
02:16:58,903 --> 02:17:00,380
second and we have a q. So you

3850
02:17:00,380 --> 02:17:00,772
had explanation from the

3851
02:17:00,772 --> 02:17:01,406
attorney now we're going to go

3852
02:17:01,406 --> 02:17:03,375
to the members on the to

3853
02:17:03,375 --> 02:17:03,775
Councilmember You're

3854
02:17:03,775 --> 02:17:05,775
recognized.

3855
02:17:07,212 --> 02:17:07,913
>> Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT.

3856
02:17:07,913 --> 02:17:08,580
My question to focus. I think

3857
02:17:08,580 --> 02:17:09,213
you MAY have answered, but

3858
02:17:09,213 --> 02:17:09,815
just so I'm clear again,

3859
02:17:09,815 --> 02:17:12,815
that's only went to one

3860
02:17:13,317 --> 02:17:13,986
committee. So the bill as it

3861
02:17:13,986 --> 02:17:15,586
stands, where you put your

3862
02:17:15,586 --> 02:17:16,287
hand on the Bible, take the

3863
02:17:16,287 --> 02:17:18,556
oath. Everyone's watching you

3864
02:17:18,556 --> 02:17:19,724
give your speech is talk about

3865
02:17:19,724 --> 02:17:21,126
your priorities, that and any

3866
02:17:21,126 --> 02:17:21,827
related reception would have

3867
02:17:21,827 --> 02:17:24,929
to be in a public facility as

3868
02:17:24,929 --> 02:17:25,763
the bill stands now, this

3869
02:17:25,763 --> 02:17:28,666
amendment means okay. We have

3870
02:17:28,666 --> 02:17:29,534
the official in the Sunshine

3871
02:17:29,534 --> 02:17:30,201
installation ceremony. But if

3872
02:17:30,201 --> 02:17:32,537
there is a privately funded

3873
02:17:32,537 --> 02:17:33,238
reception that can take place

3874
02:17:33,238 --> 02:17:34,906
outside of a public facility,

3875
02:17:34,906 --> 02:17:36,906
correct.

3876
02:17:37,409 --> 02:17:38,760
>> MR. PRESIDENT Mike gets cut

3877
02:17:38,760 --> 02:17:38,743
PRESIDENT Councilmember Lan

3878
02:17:38,743 --> 02:17:41,743
and that is correct. Thank

3879
02:17:42,213 --> 02:17:42,814
you. All right. So only

3880
02:17:42,814 --> 02:17:44,814
amendment Councilmember

3881
02:17:47,986 --> 02:17:48,720
Diamond, you're recognized.

3882
02:17:48,720 --> 02:17:49,788
Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT Mary,

3883
02:17:49,788 --> 02:17:52,788
just to help me understand

3884
02:17:54,225 --> 02:17:55,260
this. If we have a swearing in

3885
02:17:55,260 --> 02:17:55,894
irate a unos. Nick is probably

3886
02:17:55,894 --> 02:17:56,595
America's present. Raises

3887
02:17:56,595 --> 02:17:57,262
hand. He does it right here.

3888
02:17:57,262 --> 02:17:59,662
Let's just assume anyone. 7

3889
02:18:00,732 --> 02:18:02,567
party cross the street.

3890
02:18:02,567 --> 02:18:03,268
There's no way under the First

3891
02:18:03,268 --> 02:18:04,202
Amendment. The United States

3892
02:18:04,202 --> 02:18:05,103
Constitution, our freedom to

3893
02:18:05,103 --> 02:18:07,500
assemble that someone can tell

3894
02:18:07,500 --> 02:18:11,205
me he can't go do that. In

3895
02:18:11,543 --> 02:18:13,445
what universe is that allowed?

3896
02:18:13,445 --> 02:18:14,345
Theresa PRESIDENT To

3897
02:18:14,345 --> 02:18:15,180
Councilmember Diamond in the

3898
02:18:15,180 --> 02:18:17,150
universe where you include a

3899
02:18:17,150 --> 02:18:17,682
provision in your code that

3900
02:18:17,682 --> 02:18:20,682
requires it. It can't. But

3901
02:18:21,219 --> 02:18:22,954
through the chair, you can not

3902
02:18:22,954 --> 02:18:24,189
who I love Jacksonville. I

3903
02:18:24,189 --> 02:18:26,525
love the city council that we

3904
02:18:26,525 --> 02:18:27,192
cannot Trump our freedom to

3905
02:18:27,192 --> 02:18:27,926
assemble as protecting the

3906
02:18:27,926 --> 02:18:29,161
First Amendment. That correct?

3907
02:18:29,161 --> 02:18:30,940
Through the council? PRESIDENT

3908
02:18:30,940 --> 02:18:31,930
Councilmember Diamond, you're

3909
02:18:31,930 --> 02:18:34,132
not restricting the ability to

3910
02:18:34,132 --> 02:18:34,832
assemble. You're addressing

3911
02:18:34,832 --> 02:18:36,801
the location of where it can

3912
02:18:36,801 --> 02:18:40,338
be and who would be allowed to

3913
02:18:40,338 --> 02:18:41,572
attend with respect to this

3914
02:18:41,572 --> 02:18:43,972
legislation through the chair

3915
02:18:44,409 --> 02:18:45,143
to marry. I think that's I

3916
02:18:45,143 --> 02:18:47,545
disagree with that analysis. I

3917
02:18:47,545 --> 02:18:48,213
look, I think this whole this

3918
02:18:48,213 --> 02:18:50,181
whole bill is just as sour

3919
02:18:50,181 --> 02:18:51,483
grapes like useless piece of

3920
02:18:51,483 --> 02:18:52,284
argument. But put that aside

3921
02:18:52,284 --> 02:18:53,452
on that. But no, because I

3922
02:18:53,452 --> 02:18:54,519
think is just silliness and

3923
02:18:54,519 --> 02:18:55,220
only spent hours and hours and

3924
02:18:55,220 --> 02:18:55,853
hours doing stuff like this.

3925
02:18:55,853 --> 02:18:57,222
We've got people who are

3926
02:18:57,222 --> 02:18:58,790
disabled can't get to work

3927
02:18:58,790 --> 02:18:59,491
that literally we're doing

3928
02:18:59,491 --> 02:19:00,859
this. We're gonna spend more

3929
02:19:00,859 --> 02:19:01,759
time on this that we are.

3930
02:19:01,759 --> 02:19:05,359
People can't get to work or

3931
02:19:05,863 --> 02:19:06,565
school who are disabled. That

3932
02:19:06,565 --> 02:19:07,232
just drives me crazy. This is

3933
02:19:07,232 --> 02:19:09,232
just outrage. Legislation,

3934
02:19:10,135 --> 02:19:12,700
tired of it. But I don't think

3935
02:19:12,700 --> 02:19:13,972
it's legal. United States

3936
02:19:13,972 --> 02:19:14,606
Constitution to tell whoever

3937
02:19:14,606 --> 02:19:16,700
next council PRESIDENT Is

3938
02:19:16,700 --> 02:19:16,707
where they can have their

3939
02:19:16,707 --> 02:19:18,810
party. It's privately funded.

3940
02:19:18,810 --> 02:19:20,379
I just don't think you can

3941
02:19:20,379 --> 02:19:21,790
okay to all but for this

3942
02:19:21,790 --> 02:19:22,847
amendment. Great thing. I

3943
02:19:22,847 --> 02:19:23,448
totally with you. But these

3944
02:19:23,448 --> 02:19:25,490
ridiculous. Also I will

3945
02:19:25,490 --> 02:19:25,750
support legislation defund is

3946
02:19:25,750 --> 02:19:26,418
all these things of taxpayer

3947
02:19:26,418 --> 02:19:29,418
dollars, which I think good

3948
02:19:29,487 --> 02:19:33,870
thing. All right. Next, we had

3949
02:19:34,292 --> 02:19:35,930
a vice PRESIDENT, Howland.

3950
02:19:35,930 --> 02:19:35,761
Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT case

3951
02:19:35,761 --> 02:19:37,262
anyone wants to hear what I

3952
02:19:37,262 --> 02:19:40,262
have think about this would

3953
02:19:40,298 --> 02:19:41,299
have to say about it. I

3954
02:19:41,299 --> 02:19:42,133
support your amendment.

3955
02:19:42,133 --> 02:19:43,435
COUNCILWOMAN Clark, Mary, I

3956
02:19:43,435 --> 02:19:45,603
think it's a logical but I

3957
02:19:45,603 --> 02:19:47,673
probably will not support the

3958
02:19:47,673 --> 02:19:48,640
bill because well as well

3959
02:19:48,640 --> 02:19:49,640
intentional. I find it

3960
02:19:49,640 --> 02:19:50,775
restrictive, particularly on

3961
02:19:50,775 --> 02:19:52,978
the district COUNCILMAN Who

3962
02:19:52,978 --> 02:19:53,679
MAY choose to have a swearing

3963
02:19:53,679 --> 02:19:57,248
in one day if they're chosen

3964
02:19:57,248 --> 02:19:58,383
as PRESIDENT In their district

3965
02:19:58,383 --> 02:20:00,218
maybe they can't think if

3966
02:20:00,218 --> 02:20:00,885
there's a beaches persons MAY

3967
02:20:00,885 --> 02:20:01,453
Council PRESIDENT. I think

3968
02:20:01,453 --> 02:20:02,153
there's only one or 2

3969
02:20:02,153 --> 02:20:02,854
locations that are actually

3970
02:20:02,854 --> 02:20:04,890
owned by the city under this

3971
02:20:04,890 --> 02:20:04,722
code. And that would be at the

3972
02:20:04,722 --> 02:20:06,858
Neptune Beach Library or

3973
02:20:06,858 --> 02:20:07,559
something like that. And maybe

3974
02:20:07,559 --> 02:20:09,270
they want to do there. Maybe

3975
02:20:09,270 --> 02:20:11,663
they wouldn't. But I think

3976
02:20:11,663 --> 02:20:12,364
it's overly restrictive,

3977
02:20:12,364 --> 02:20:13,131
particularly when you can

3978
02:20:13,131 --> 02:20:16,731
achieve the same thing just by

3979
02:20:16,835 --> 02:20:17,569
asking the question of the

3980
02:20:17,569 --> 02:20:18,370
candidate for running for

3981
02:20:18,370 --> 02:20:20,770
PRESIDENT City Council a

3982
02:20:21,139 --> 02:20:21,839
night. I don't you know if

3983
02:20:21,839 --> 02:20:23,410
I'll ever be elected. So but

3984
02:20:23,410 --> 02:20:26,511
if so, why probably do my

3985
02:20:26,511 --> 02:20:27,679
insulation right here? So

3986
02:20:27,679 --> 02:20:29,680
that's kind of how I look at

3987
02:20:29,680 --> 02:20:30,349
it. Why restricted on people

3988
02:20:30,349 --> 02:20:31,649
when you can just ask them

3989
02:20:31,649 --> 02:20:32,251
what they would do? Thanks.

3990
02:20:32,251 --> 02:20:34,251
Alright. Councilmember

3991
02:20:38,924 --> 02:20:39,824
Johnson. Thank you, MR.

3992
02:20:39,824 --> 02:20:40,992
PRESIDENT want to start with a

3993
02:20:40,992 --> 02:20:41,927
question or 2 as the 5 pulas I

3994
02:20:41,927 --> 02:20:42,627
vote for you, by the way,

3995
02:20:42,627 --> 02:20:43,928
through the chair mystified.

3996
02:20:43,928 --> 02:20:46,698
Plus what a great answer.

3997
02:20:46,698 --> 02:20:48,320
>> And this universe, my

3998
02:20:48,320 --> 02:20:50,836
question for you, though, is

3999
02:20:50,836 --> 02:20:51,870
if a candidate for council

4000
02:20:51,870 --> 02:20:54,870
PRESIDENT Wanted to have their

4001
02:20:56,240 --> 02:20:57,800
installation. And let's it's

4002
02:20:57,800 --> 02:20:59,744
not technically a city venue,

4003
02:20:59,744 --> 02:21:03,344
but like an outdoor venue like

4004
02:21:04,316 --> 02:21:05,500
a lawn. Would this restrict

4005
02:21:05,500 --> 02:21:08,500
that from happening? Could you

4006
02:21:09,387 --> 02:21:10,788
answer that for me? Please.

4007
02:21:10,788 --> 02:21:11,490
>> through the PRESIDENT To

4008
02:21:11,490 --> 02:21:13,890
Councilmember Johnson so long

4009
02:21:16,861 --> 02:21:19,864
as well. This does this as

4010
02:21:19,864 --> 02:21:21,320
facility exactly. Arguably a

4011
02:21:21,320 --> 02:21:23,901
lawn long as it's accessible

4012
02:21:23,901 --> 02:21:25,103
to the public ada compliant

4013
02:21:25,103 --> 02:21:25,870
allows for media presence and

4014
02:21:25,870 --> 02:21:27,638
live streaming. I'm not sure

4015
02:21:27,638 --> 02:21:28,373
that this bill would really

4016
02:21:28,373 --> 02:21:30,742
address that scenario with the

4017
02:21:30,742 --> 02:21:32,143
language that's been proposed.

4018
02:21:32,143 --> 02:21:33,611
I would not read it. I would

4019
02:21:33,611 --> 02:21:34,512
not want to read it. So

4020
02:21:34,512 --> 02:21:37,316
strictly to suggest that it

4021
02:21:37,316 --> 02:21:39,351
would have to be a city or

4022
02:21:39,351 --> 02:21:41,351
constitutional officer or

4023
02:21:41,586 --> 02:21:42,521
independent agency lawn, so to

4024
02:21:42,521 --> 02:21:44,455
speak. But you MAY also

4025
02:21:44,455 --> 02:21:45,123
addressed that question to the

4026
02:21:45,123 --> 02:21:45,824
introduce or of the bill to

4027
02:21:45,824 --> 02:21:48,126
make sure that that would be

4028
02:21:48,126 --> 02:21:49,261
in keeping with his intent as

4029
02:21:49,261 --> 02:21:51,261
well.

4030
02:21:51,296 --> 02:21:52,430
>> I will through PRESIDENT To

4031
02:21:52,430 --> 02:21:53,131
COUNCILMAN Carlucci because I

4032
02:21:53,131 --> 02:21:55,534
honestly I will tell you, in

4033
02:21:55,534 --> 02:21:57,168
looking at this legislation, I

4034
02:21:57,168 --> 02:21:58,200
kind of agree with the vice

4035
02:21:58,200 --> 02:22:01,602
PRESIDENT. I do think I just

4036
02:22:02,708 --> 02:22:03,442
don't see the necessity of it.

4037
02:22:03,442 --> 02:22:05,377
>> Or the need for it. But the

4038
02:22:05,377 --> 02:22:05,977
way this bill as written and I

4039
02:22:05,977 --> 02:22:07,412
am a student of the law

4040
02:22:07,412 --> 02:22:08,113
learning and the way the midst

4041
02:22:08,113 --> 02:22:11,713
plus explains it. And the way

4042
02:22:11,950 --> 02:22:12,984
I read it based on this, we

4043
02:22:12,984 --> 02:22:17,184
would not be able to have an

4044
02:22:17,489 --> 02:22:18,189
installation on a green area

4045
02:22:18,189 --> 02:22:18,757
is that a problem for the way

4046
02:22:18,757 --> 02:22:19,391
you put it together?

4047
02:22:19,391 --> 02:22:21,391
Councilmember coach Matt

4048
02:22:22,226 --> 02:22:22,960
Carlucci.

4049
02:22:22,960 --> 02:22:24,830
>> Well, I never thought about

4050
02:22:24,830 --> 02:22:26,830
having and insulation. 95

4051
02:22:29,868 --> 02:22:31,200
degree weather the summer on a

4052
02:22:31,200 --> 02:22:31,636
green lawn. But just let me

4053
02:22:31,636 --> 02:22:33,380
being a little facetious

4054
02:22:33,380 --> 02:22:37,238
there. I hope you can laugh a

4055
02:22:37,241 --> 02:22:38,109
little bit at that. And I

4056
02:22:38,109 --> 02:22:41,709
would object to it being on

4057
02:22:43,715 --> 02:22:44,416
the green lawn of a city own

4058
02:22:44,416 --> 02:22:44,983
property. It looked that this

4059
02:22:44,983 --> 02:22:46,150
is what I'm trying to

4060
02:22:46,150 --> 02:22:48,320
accomplish here. If it's on

4061
02:22:48,320 --> 02:22:50,522
the green lawn in front of

4062
02:22:50,522 --> 02:22:52,156
forming arts center. If so,

4063
02:22:52,156 --> 02:22:54,859
the green lawn to the

4064
02:22:54,859 --> 02:22:57,259
riverfront parks. I just

4065
02:23:00,966 --> 02:23:03,966
think. That this office, these

4066
02:23:05,571 --> 02:23:06,804
offices belongs not to. The

4067
02:23:06,804 --> 02:23:08,606
person fixing to take the

4068
02:23:08,606 --> 02:23:10,141
office. It belongs to the

4069
02:23:10,141 --> 02:23:13,678
people and it should be held

4070
02:23:13,678 --> 02:23:15,713
and public. Or a public

4071
02:23:15,713 --> 02:23:17,482
facility. If you want to amend

4072
02:23:17,482 --> 02:23:19,985
it to include crane space as

4073
02:23:19,985 --> 02:23:23,585
long as it can be. Ada

4074
02:23:24,355 --> 02:23:25,230
compliant. And it can meet the

4075
02:23:25,230 --> 02:23:25,757
streaming in all the other

4076
02:23:25,757 --> 02:23:28,757
things that are required of

4077
02:23:30,495 --> 02:23:31,620
building. That's fine. Okay.

4078
02:23:31,620 --> 02:23:32,640
Thought I thank you,

4079
02:23:32,640 --> 02:23:32,798
councilmember if appreciate

4080
02:23:32,798 --> 02:23:34,432
the clarification, I just want

4081
02:23:34,432 --> 02:23:35,233
to say PRESIDENT.

4082
02:23:35,233 --> 02:23:38,833
>> As it stands now, I think

4083
02:23:39,137 --> 02:23:39,871
it's pretty unfair for to 20

4084
02:23:39,871 --> 02:23:42,871
more seconds. The bill sponsor

4085
02:23:43,141 --> 02:23:44,142
happy really tight out take.

4086
02:23:44,142 --> 02:23:45,310
Just don't think it's fair to

4087
02:23:45,310 --> 02:23:46,778
be hamstrung as to where it

4088
02:23:46,778 --> 02:23:49,715
could be. I believe that as

4089
02:23:49,715 --> 02:23:50,982
long as it's accessible. Every

4090
02:23:50,982 --> 02:23:52,417
time I've been coming to these

4091
02:23:52,417 --> 02:23:53,151
installations since I was a

4092
02:23:53,151 --> 02:23:55,654
young child and they've always

4093
02:23:55,654 --> 02:23:57,556
been in places, not always

4094
02:23:57,556 --> 02:23:58,523
owned by the city, but they've

4095
02:23:58,523 --> 02:23:59,524
always been in places. And as

4096
02:23:59,524 --> 02:24:00,224
we know with the sunshine,

4097
02:24:00,224 --> 02:24:01,493
they must be accessible side.

4098
02:24:01,493 --> 02:24:03,529
Don't see the need for this

4099
02:24:03,529 --> 02:24:04,196
legislation. I hope that we

4100
02:24:04,196 --> 02:24:06,564
can amend it because if we

4101
02:24:06,564 --> 02:24:07,432
choose to have an outsider

4102
02:24:07,432 --> 02:24:09,432
somewhere else, council

4103
02:24:09,501 --> 02:24:11,469
members who are elected into

4104
02:24:11,469 --> 02:24:12,270
leadership as Councilmember

4105
02:24:12,270 --> 02:24:13,438
Clark Murray said as part of

4106
02:24:13,438 --> 02:24:15,340
the celebration should not be

4107
02:24:15,340 --> 02:24:16,374
hamstrung. Thank you, MR.

4108
02:24:16,374 --> 02:24:17,709
PRESIDENT and Johnson. And

4109
02:24:17,709 --> 02:24:18,943
we're still going the cutest

4110
02:24:18,943 --> 02:24:19,611
reminder on the amendment.

4111
02:24:19,611 --> 02:24:22,110
Still, Ron, clerk, Mary

4112
02:24:25,483 --> 02:24:26,184
Amendment next is Dr Sale.

4113
02:24:26,184 --> 02:24:28,120
>> Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT I

4114
02:24:28,120 --> 02:24:30,722
was in rules and participate

4115
02:24:30,722 --> 02:24:34,322
in this debate. And I voted

4116
02:24:34,759 --> 02:24:35,460
for this bill. And I have

4117
02:24:35,460 --> 02:24:37,796
since come to the conclusion

4118
02:24:37,796 --> 02:24:40,196
that was a mistake.

4119
02:24:42,701 --> 02:24:43,601
>> I made the argument. In

4120
02:24:43,601 --> 02:24:44,336
rules that day that I was part

4121
02:24:44,336 --> 02:24:47,705
of an installation where I had

4122
02:24:47,705 --> 02:24:51,305
to have it at the performing

4123
02:24:51,543 --> 02:24:53,780
Arts center because of the all

4124
02:24:53,780 --> 02:24:53,778
the new council members in the

4125
02:24:53,778 --> 02:24:55,547
constitutional officers. They

4126
02:24:55,547 --> 02:24:57,490
had to participate. I had no

4127
02:24:57,490 --> 02:24:57,749
choice and I had to raise

4128
02:24:57,749 --> 02:25:01,349
money for that party for all

4129
02:25:02,200 --> 02:25:03,655
those people. I mention then

4130
02:25:03,655 --> 02:25:04,389
and I still believe it today

4131
02:25:04,389 --> 02:25:06,250
that I would have loved to

4132
02:25:06,250 --> 02:25:06,858
have had that have been in the

4133
02:25:06,858 --> 02:25:09,928
remote club. The club that I

4134
02:25:09,928 --> 02:25:10,561
grew up in as a child. What an

4135
02:25:10,561 --> 02:25:13,561
event that would have the

4136
02:25:13,998 --> 02:25:15,767
added. We have sense my

4137
02:25:15,767 --> 02:25:16,634
installation spent several

4138
02:25:16,634 --> 02:25:17,236
$100,000 to renovate it. And I

4139
02:25:17,236 --> 02:25:20,236
think it would be very

4140
02:25:21,406 --> 02:25:22,841
appropriate. Particularly now

4141
02:25:22,841 --> 02:25:23,542
that have that And I heard

4142
02:25:23,542 --> 02:25:25,770
from some of my relatives in

4143
02:25:25,770 --> 02:25:28,770
cousin's son said. Why not

4144
02:25:28,146 --> 02:25:29,881
have it here? It's in

4145
02:25:29,881 --> 02:25:30,616
COUNCILMAN Care Coast

4146
02:25:30,616 --> 02:25:32,617
District. Interestingly, and I

4147
02:25:32,617 --> 02:25:34,619
think it's a wonderful venue

4148
02:25:34,619 --> 02:25:37,619
now, I don't think. That's

4149
02:25:38,524 --> 02:25:39,323
going to happen all the time.

4150
02:25:39,323 --> 02:25:42,923
I think it'll be a rare

4151
02:25:43,528 --> 02:25:45,463
occasion. I there MAY be a

4152
02:25:45,463 --> 02:25:46,197
unique circumstance could be

4153
02:25:46,197 --> 02:25:46,898
an ethnic reason or could be a

4154
02:25:46,898 --> 02:25:49,298
council district reason where

4155
02:25:49,668 --> 02:25:51,669
they want to have that

4156
02:25:51,669 --> 02:25:53,472
installation outside of the

4157
02:25:53,472 --> 02:25:54,172
core area and a particular

4158
02:25:54,172 --> 02:25:56,740
venue. And I think we should

4159
02:25:56,740 --> 02:25:58,409
support that. I don't think

4160
02:25:58,409 --> 02:26:00,212
it'll happen. I think former

4161
02:26:00,212 --> 02:26:02,213
PRESIDENT White mentioned it

4162
02:26:02,213 --> 02:26:04,349
probably won't happen very

4163
02:26:04,349 --> 02:26:05,170
often. But I want to reserve

4164
02:26:05,170 --> 02:26:08,617
the right for someone to do

4165
02:26:08,987 --> 02:26:10,855
that. So I will be voting

4166
02:26:10,855 --> 02:26:11,990
against the bill, but I will

4167
02:26:11,990 --> 02:26:13,240
support the Clark Murray

4168
02:26:13,240 --> 02:26:14,626
Amendment because it makes

4169
02:26:14,626 --> 02:26:16,628
least a little bit better.

4170
02:26:16,628 --> 02:26:19,464
Then the bill itself, which I

4171
02:26:19,464 --> 02:26:20,799
think is way too. I've come to

4172
02:26:20,799 --> 02:26:23,799
the conclusion. It's way too

4173
02:26:23,902 --> 02:26:24,803
restrictive. Thank you, MR.

4174
02:26:24,803 --> 02:26:25,503
PRESIDENT.

4175
02:26:25,503 --> 02:26:26,238
>> All right. Thank PRESIDENT

4176
02:26:26,238 --> 02:26:26,938
Salem. And then for the second

4177
02:26:26,938 --> 02:26:29,938
time we have passed PRESIDENT

4178
02:26:33,278 --> 02:26:36,278
Privilege. Well, in that case.

4179
02:26:38,850 --> 02:26:39,518
I don't often not support my

4180
02:26:39,518 --> 02:26:40,185
friend council member Clark

4181
02:26:40,185 --> 02:26:43,185
Murray's. But I'm not going

4182
02:26:43,455 --> 02:26:44,122
support it. And the reason

4183
02:26:44,122 --> 02:26:47,122
local supported is the bill

4184
02:26:47,525 --> 02:26:48,993
speaks for itself. These

4185
02:26:48,993 --> 02:26:51,993
offices belong to the people.

4186
02:26:53,640 --> 02:26:56,664
And they should be. And city

4187
02:26:56,968 --> 02:26:59,368
spaces. And city facilities

4188
02:27:00,672 --> 02:27:01,473
that are owned by the public.

4189
02:27:01,473 --> 02:27:02,174
And I think they should be

4190
02:27:02,174 --> 02:27:04,709
held to centrally located as

4191
02:27:04,709 --> 02:27:05,310
possible. So people know where

4192
02:27:05,310 --> 02:27:07,710
they're at and they're

4193
02:27:10,480 --> 02:27:11,783
comfortable there. I heard my

4194
02:27:11,783 --> 02:27:12,418
friend Council America talk

4195
02:27:12,418 --> 02:27:14,818
about the PRESIDENT, the

4196
02:27:15,687 --> 02:27:18,890
governor. Their dog year aged.

4197
02:27:18,890 --> 02:27:20,358
In public state. Federal

4198
02:27:20,358 --> 02:27:23,358
buildings. We should do the

4199
02:27:23,528 --> 02:27:26,528
same thing here. I'm a

4200
02:27:28,133 --> 02:27:30,133
traditionalist. Perhaps there

4201
02:27:31,103 --> 02:27:32,404
has been swearing in

4202
02:27:32,404 --> 02:27:34,272
insulation at a private

4203
02:27:34,272 --> 02:27:35,807
facility other than the last

4204
02:27:35,807 --> 02:27:36,508
one. And I'm not picking on

4205
02:27:36,508 --> 02:27:40,108
the last one. People think I

4206
02:27:41,120 --> 02:27:41,746
am, but I'm not. I just happen

4207
02:27:41,746 --> 02:27:43,248
to care about our consolidated

4208
02:27:43,248 --> 02:27:46,248
government and what it means.

4209
02:27:47,252 --> 02:27:50,522
And it was it was meant to

4210
02:27:50,522 --> 02:27:53,910
mean something to the people.

4211
02:27:53,910 --> 02:27:55,930
And when you hold it outside.

4212
02:27:55,930 --> 02:27:55,927
A public facility like we have

4213
02:27:55,927 --> 02:27:58,327
traditionally for 50 some odd

4214
02:28:00,650 --> 02:28:00,999
years. I want to just kind of

4215
02:28:00,999 --> 02:28:03,340
goes against what I think the

4216
02:28:03,340 --> 02:28:06,634
intent in the spirit. Of what

4217
02:28:07,539 --> 02:28:08,206
we're supposed to be about. I

4218
02:28:08,206 --> 02:28:10,342
had my way and I say we all

4219
02:28:10,342 --> 02:28:13,342
just haven't done here. And

4220
02:28:14,178 --> 02:28:14,880
then if we want to go to the

4221
02:28:14,880 --> 02:28:15,981
library, so elect we do with

4222
02:28:15,981 --> 02:28:18,381
counsel present whites. That

4223
02:28:20,719 --> 02:28:21,419
was ideal. Holding out

4224
02:28:21,419 --> 02:28:23,819
somewhere where people don't

4225
02:28:23,989 --> 02:28:24,722
really know how to get there.

4226
02:28:24,722 --> 02:28:28,322
And somebody people to come to

4227
02:28:28,393 --> 02:28:29,610
these events. They're people

4228
02:28:29,610 --> 02:28:32,631
that are used to coming for

4229
02:28:32,631 --> 02:28:33,298
years. And now they got to go

4230
02:28:33,298 --> 02:28:35,698
somewhere where they don't

4231
02:28:38,503 --> 02:28:40,380
know what's going to be.

4232
02:28:40,380 --> 02:28:40,672
Conscious. But I know where my

4233
02:28:40,672 --> 02:28:41,707
conscious takes me. And I

4234
02:28:41,707 --> 02:28:42,407
think this is a good

4235
02:28:42,407 --> 02:28:44,407
government playing government

4236
02:28:46,377 --> 02:28:47,212
Bill. But thank you. Actions

4241
02:29:01,560 --> 02:29:02,194
>> Passes.

4242
02:29:02,194 --> 02:29:04,594
>> Next, we have another

4243
02:29:05,630 --> 02:29:05,697
floor. Members aren't. You're

4244
02:29:05,697 --> 02:29:06,331
not in Cuba? I think it's

4245
02:29:06,331 --> 02:29:07,399
yours. COUNCILWOMAN Clark

02:29:07,399 --> 02:29:09,399
Mayor, you're recognized.

4247
02:29:10,535 --> 02:29:13,535
>> You are correct. Thank you.

4248
02:29:15,440 --> 02:29:16,975
So you are receiving aid. And

4249
02:29:16,975 --> 02:29:17,710
additional floor amendment. So

4250
02:29:17,710 --> 02:29:21,413
in the bill, there is a waiver

4251
02:29:21,413 --> 02:29:24,413
section. Let me explain the

4252
02:29:24,582 --> 02:29:25,250
waiver section. So the waiver

4253
02:29:25,250 --> 02:29:25,817
section that's currently in

4254
02:29:25,817 --> 02:29:26,484
the bill, not a floor

4255
02:29:26,484 --> 02:29:28,884
amendment currently in the

4256
02:29:29,254 --> 02:29:33,191
bill says that. If you want to

4257
02:29:33,191 --> 02:29:36,191
hold the installation. At a

4258
02:29:37,996 --> 02:29:38,696
private. Location, then you

4259
02:29:38,696 --> 02:29:42,296
can apply. You need to apply

4260
02:29:42,934 --> 02:29:43,668
for a waiver. And you can do

4261
02:29:43,668 --> 02:29:46,237
so. Then their parameters upon

4262
02:29:46,237 --> 02:29:47,573
that waiver. So the floor

4263
02:29:47,573 --> 02:29:49,475
amendment that you have before

4264
02:29:49,475 --> 02:29:52,475
you basically says it. Okay,

4265
02:29:52,610 --> 02:29:55,414
you want to have the event is

4266
02:29:55,414 --> 02:29:58,516
delay shun at a private place.

4267
02:29:58,516 --> 02:30:00,852
Then. Seeing that the

4268
02:30:00,852 --> 02:30:03,252
installation is a public

4269
02:30:03,955 --> 02:30:06,955
event. You must notify the

4270
02:30:08,527 --> 02:30:11,527
public in 2 ways week before

4271
02:30:12,764 --> 02:30:13,465
U.S. Notice it in a written

4272
02:30:13,465 --> 02:30:15,865
medium meeting, a newspaper,

4273
02:30:16,769 --> 02:30:19,738
example, a daily record. And

4274
02:30:19,738 --> 02:30:22,738
you must notify at least 2

4275
02:30:22,941 --> 02:30:23,641
visual mediums, meaning

4276
02:30:23,641 --> 02:30:25,277
television, the time location

4277
02:30:25,277 --> 02:30:29,477
of the event. And so that is

4278
02:30:30,549 --> 02:30:33,118
my. Floor amendment to the.

4279
02:30:33,118 --> 02:30:35,518
Bill presented by council

4280
02:30:35,620 --> 02:30:36,354
member Matt Carlucci in

4281
02:30:36,354 --> 02:30:37,220
regards to this. And I will

4282
02:30:37,220 --> 02:30:40,220
take any questions at this

4283
02:30:40,525 --> 02:30:41,226
time. All right. Thank you.

4284
02:30:41,226 --> 02:30:42,894
Councilmember Diamond on the

4285
02:30:42,894 --> 02:30:44,894
amendment.

4286
02:30:46,932 --> 02:30:48,330
>> We do have a second through

4287
02:30:48,330 --> 02:30:50,134
the chair, Mary. So since we

4288
02:30:50,134 --> 02:30:50,769
just amended this thing to

4289
02:30:50,769 --> 02:30:51,436
essentially just say, all

4290
02:30:51,436 --> 02:30:52,738
we're talking about is like

4291
02:30:52,738 --> 02:30:53,500
raising the hand and swearing

4292
02:30:53,500 --> 02:30:55,500
in.

4293
02:30:55,907 --> 02:30:57,943
>> That's all the bill counts

4294
02:30:57,943 --> 02:30:59,978
for now. And if this gets in

4295
02:30:59,978 --> 02:31:01,113
there, it's not for the

4296
02:31:01,113 --> 02:31:01,846
party's. It's just for the

4297
02:31:01,846 --> 02:31:05,283
raising the hand. Is that fair

4298
02:31:05,283 --> 02:31:06,118
reading now? What this floor

4299
02:31:06,118 --> 02:31:08,860
amendment would do to the

4300
02:31:08,860 --> 02:31:08,754
waiver section through the

4301
02:31:08,754 --> 02:31:10,589
PRESIDENT To Councilmember

4302
02:31:10,589 --> 02:31:11,289
Diamond. Yes, since the First

4303
02:31:11,289 --> 02:31:11,990
Amendment passed really this

4304
02:31:11,990 --> 02:31:13,391
language, what would be left

4305
02:31:13,391 --> 02:31:14,660
in the bill?

4306
02:31:14,660 --> 02:31:15,193
>> That the waiver would apply

4307
02:31:15,193 --> 02:31:15,828
to would be to the

4308
02:31:15,828 --> 02:31:17,828
installation itself. Only

4309
02:31:17,829 --> 02:31:20,829
thanks. All right. Thank you.

4310
02:31:23,935 --> 02:31:24,436
Councilmember thank you, MR.

4311
02:31:24,436 --> 02:31:25,137
PRESIDENT said my

4312
02:31:25,137 --> 02:31:26,804
understanding that the waiver

4313
02:31:26,804 --> 02:31:27,339
can only be done if if the

4314
02:31:27,339 --> 02:31:27,972
public.

4315
02:31:27,972 --> 02:31:29,972
>> Space isn't available,

4316
02:31:31,643 --> 02:31:32,378
correct. So this is still.

4317
02:31:32,378 --> 02:31:35,130
This is still lighting without

4318
02:31:35,130 --> 02:31:35,681
to the to the. Amendment

4319
02:31:35,681 --> 02:31:38,810
Amendment. You have missed

4320
02:31:39,217 --> 02:31:41,617
partner. Through the PRESIDENT

4321
02:31:42,354 --> 02:31:43,222
To Councilmember Blue. So.

4322
02:31:43,222 --> 02:31:44,289
>> So what this does that

4323
02:31:44,289 --> 02:31:46,458
there's a section in the

4324
02:31:46,458 --> 02:31:48,493
current legislation that's is

4325
02:31:48,493 --> 02:31:49,194
that okay? Let's say, for

4326
02:31:49,194 --> 02:31:49,761
example, you want to hold the

4327
02:31:49,761 --> 02:31:51,663
lead the installation

4328
02:31:51,663 --> 02:31:52,564
somewhere other than a public

4329
02:31:52,564 --> 02:31:55,564
building, then you can. But

4330
02:31:55,700 --> 02:31:57,690
you must apply for a waiver.

4331
02:31:57,690 --> 02:31:59,238
And so what this summit, what

4332
02:31:59,238 --> 02:31:59,905
this floor amendment does I'm

4333
02:31:59,905 --> 02:32:01,706
simply saying that, ok, you

4334
02:32:01,706 --> 02:32:05,277
can do that if you if you

4335
02:32:05,277 --> 02:32:06,244
decide but you must once

4336
02:32:06,244 --> 02:32:08,947
again, the issue is that the

4337
02:32:08,947 --> 02:32:12,547
public needs to know it's done

4338
02:32:13,485 --> 02:32:14,253
because of The Sunshine laws

4339
02:32:14,253 --> 02:32:16,554
and one way, but that way is

4340
02:32:16,554 --> 02:32:17,456
not notice to the entire

4341
02:32:17,456 --> 02:32:18,890
public. Most people don't have

4342
02:32:18,890 --> 02:32:21,860
access to that particular way.

4343
02:32:21,860 --> 02:32:22,795
So this way, the public does

4344
02:32:22,795 --> 02:32:24,730
know about because the

4345
02:32:24,730 --> 02:32:26,998
insulation itself is a public

4346
02:32:26,998 --> 02:32:28,566
event. So you must once again

4347
02:32:28,566 --> 02:32:31,566
notify at least one print

4348
02:32:32,370 --> 02:32:33,339
medium and to visual mediums.

4349
02:32:33,339 --> 02:32:34,272
>> The however the waiver

4350
02:32:34,272 --> 02:32:35,674
still needs to have two-thirds

4351
02:32:35,674 --> 02:32:38,900
vote and something to be

4352
02:32:38,900 --> 02:32:38,677
accompanied with justification

4353
02:32:38,677 --> 02:32:42,881
as to why pull up. So it is

4354
02:32:42,881 --> 02:32:44,783
not available right yes, that

4355
02:32:44,783 --> 02:32:45,484
is a question for the

4356
02:32:45,484 --> 02:32:46,184
introduce make sure. All

4357
02:32:46,184 --> 02:32:46,918
right. I'm fine with it that

4358
02:32:46,918 --> 02:32:49,540
way, if that's what it is. But

4359
02:32:49,540 --> 02:32:50,789
of the bill. But it would only

4360
02:32:50,789 --> 02:32:52,958
be if you cannot use a public

4361
02:32:52,958 --> 02:32:54,860
facility going to speak to

4362
02:32:54,860 --> 02:32:56,261
bill later on. But I this is

4363
02:32:56,261 --> 02:32:56,961
all so much for something that

4364
02:32:56,961 --> 02:32:57,663
was a really good bill. And I

4365
02:32:57,663 --> 02:33:00,165
don't know why we're getting

4366
02:33:00,165 --> 02:33:04,365
it this way. All right. On the

4367
02:33:05,871 --> 02:33:08,271
And then Ducks, Salem.

4368
02:33:08,774 --> 02:33:09,441
>> The PRESIDENT To Plus, did

4369
02:33:09,441 --> 02:33:13,410
I hear a two-thirds vote on

4370
02:33:14,212 --> 02:33:16,810
the waiver? To approve it.

4371
02:33:16,810 --> 02:33:16,748
>> Through the PRESIDENT To

4372
02:33:16,748 --> 02:33:18,183
Councilmember sailing, yes,

4373
02:33:18,183 --> 02:33:18,817
the bill as written would

4374
02:33:18,817 --> 02:33:19,751
require, would require a

4375
02:33:19,751 --> 02:33:22,530
two-thirds vote of the full

4376
02:33:22,530 --> 02:33:22,420
council. So 13 members we did

4377
02:33:22,420 --> 02:33:24,420
approve.

4378
02:33:25,900 --> 02:33:25,790
>> You have to follow that

4379
02:33:25,790 --> 02:33:27,790
legislation appropriately way

4380
02:33:29,594 --> 02:33:32,731
ahead of time in order to get.

4381
02:33:32,731 --> 02:33:34,650
Maybe you're only elected in

4382
02:33:34,650 --> 02:33:35,701
MAY I the installations the

4383
02:33:35,701 --> 02:33:36,835
end of JUNE. It It would seem

4384
02:33:36,835 --> 02:33:37,636
almost unless you did it as an

4385
02:33:37,636 --> 02:33:38,903
hour, something through the

4386
02:33:38,903 --> 02:33:39,971
PRESIDENT To counselors that's

4387
02:33:39,971 --> 02:33:41,740
essentially what would have to

4388
02:33:41,740 --> 02:33:42,441
occur is you have to do it as

4389
02:33:42,441 --> 02:33:43,141
essentially isn't in and out,

4390
02:33:43,141 --> 02:33:44,876
which in and of itself would

4391
02:33:44,876 --> 02:33:47,112
require a two-thirds vote to

4392
02:33:47,112 --> 02:33:47,812
approve. And that was part of

4393
02:33:47,812 --> 02:33:48,514
what was contemplated by

4394
02:33:48,514 --> 02:33:50,514
Councilmember Clark Murray's

4395
02:33:51,884 --> 02:33:53,518
amendment with the one week

4396
02:33:53,518 --> 02:33:54,185
turn around for the

4397
02:33:54,185 --> 02:33:54,919
advertisement contemplating

4398
02:33:54,919 --> 02:33:56,521
that there's a very short time

4399
02:33:56,521 --> 02:33:57,188
frame to work with in there.

4400
02:33:57,188 --> 02:33:57,922
>> I'm going vote for this,

4401
02:33:57,922 --> 02:34:00,292
but I'm going vote against the

4402
02:34:00,292 --> 02:34:03,292
whole bill. Because this makes

4403
02:34:04,930 --> 02:34:06,365
the Carlucci bill that in my

4404
02:34:06,365 --> 02:34:08,200
mind. But the whole thing I've

4405
02:34:08,200 --> 02:34:09,735
come to that conclusion is

4406
02:34:09,735 --> 02:34:10,435
bad. So I'm gonna vote for

4407
02:34:10,435 --> 02:34:11,970
this. But vote against entire

4408
02:34:11,970 --> 02:34:12,604
Bill. Thank you.

4409
02:34:12,604 --> 02:34:15,400
>> All right. Thank you.

4410
02:34:16,207 --> 02:34:18,207
Councilmember areas. Thank

4411
02:34:18,310 --> 02:34:19,110
you, MR. PRESIDENT is Plus the

4412
02:34:19,110 --> 02:34:21,411
first floor amendment limits

4413
02:34:22,470 --> 02:34:22,681
crockery gave us To keep the

4414
02:34:22,681 --> 02:34:25,810
installation in a public

4415
02:34:27,190 --> 02:34:28,286
space.

4416
02:34:28,286 --> 02:34:28,987
>> Through the PRESIDENT,

4417
02:34:28,987 --> 02:34:30,880
Councilmember Arias. So yes,

4418
02:34:30,880 --> 02:34:31,956
what it did was it struck all

4419
02:34:31,956 --> 02:34:34,930
references to the related

4420
02:34:34,930 --> 02:34:35,600
events, such that if the bill

4421
02:34:35,600 --> 02:34:36,428
is approved, it would require

4422
02:34:36,428 --> 02:34:38,828
that the installation itself

4423
02:34:40,165 --> 02:34:40,999
ranked occur within a public

4424
02:34:40,999 --> 02:34:43,969
facility that's owned by the

4425
02:34:43,969 --> 02:34:44,536
city owned operated by the

4426
02:34:44,536 --> 02:34:45,270
city. Its independent

4427
02:34:45,270 --> 02:34:46,839
authorities are constitutional

4428
02:34:46,839 --> 02:34:47,539
officers then also there's

4429
02:34:47,539 --> 02:34:49,700
other risk requirements such

4430
02:34:49,700 --> 02:34:51,276
ada, Accessibility at Center

4431
02:34:51,276 --> 02:34:51,977
right. The second part of that

4432
02:34:51,977 --> 02:34:54,379
first floor amendment is that

4433
02:34:54,379 --> 02:34:57,379
the second part, the party

4434
02:34:58,550 --> 02:34:59,218
would be any where? The

4435
02:34:59,218 --> 02:35:01,519
PRESIDENT At the time would

4436
02:35:01,519 --> 02:35:05,119
like to have it. Okay. Now

4437
02:35:06,659 --> 02:35:07,659
this second 4 minutes states

4438
02:35:07,659 --> 02:35:08,326
That we need to be able to to

4439
02:35:08,326 --> 02:35:11,326
reported to the news media

4440
02:35:11,430 --> 02:35:12,464
isn't all that. If we're going

4441
02:35:12,464 --> 02:35:13,732
use it at a private event at a

4442
02:35:13,732 --> 02:35:14,399
private center for the

4443
02:35:14,399 --> 02:35:16,799
installation of almost any

4444
02:35:16,868 --> 02:35:17,669
rights for the installation

4445
02:35:17,669 --> 02:35:18,303
part.

4446
02:35:18,303 --> 02:35:19,380
>> Through the PRESIDENT

4447
02:35:19,380 --> 02:35:20,238
Councilmember are yes, yes. If

4448
02:35:20,238 --> 02:35:20,939
the bill only now pertains to

4449
02:35:20,939 --> 02:35:22,240
the installation based on the

4450
02:35:22,240 --> 02:35:24,309
approval of the First

4451
02:35:24,309 --> 02:35:25,430
Amendment, what the waiver

4452
02:35:25,430 --> 02:35:27,579
would apply to was a request

4453
02:35:27,579 --> 02:35:29,979
by presumably and incoming

4454
02:35:30,382 --> 02:35:32,517
PRESIDENT To host installation

4455
02:35:32,517 --> 02:35:35,540
at a non city for security. I

4456
02:35:35,540 --> 02:35:35,754
ask that because we we just

4457
02:35:35,754 --> 02:35:36,455
approved the First Amendment

4458
02:35:36,455 --> 02:35:37,923
and says the installation has

4459
02:35:37,923 --> 02:35:39,657
to be at a public. Facility

4460
02:35:39,657 --> 02:35:40,326
yet. Now we're seeing that the

4461
02:35:40,326 --> 02:35:42,726
second amendment is saying

4462
02:35:43,696 --> 02:35:47,232
that. If it's not at a public

4463
02:35:47,232 --> 02:35:48,667
facility but us redundant in a

4464
02:35:48,667 --> 02:35:50,369
way because we already we

4465
02:35:50,369 --> 02:35:51,690
already said that he has to be

4466
02:35:51,690 --> 02:35:53,439
at a public facility, though,

4467
02:35:53,439 --> 02:35:54,373
through the PRESIDENT's

4468
02:35:54,373 --> 02:35:56,373
councilmember Arias. Floor

4469
02:35:56,375 --> 02:35:57,275
amendment is addressing. There

4470
02:35:57,275 --> 02:35:59,378
was a waiver provided for in

4471
02:35:59,378 --> 02:36:00,712
the original bill was filed.

4472
02:36:00,712 --> 02:36:02,681
So the original bill is filed,

4473
02:36:02,681 --> 02:36:03,382
said that the installation and

4474
02:36:03,382 --> 02:36:05,183
any related events would have

4475
02:36:05,183 --> 02:36:05,850
to occur in a city owned or

4476
02:36:05,850 --> 02:36:07,752
operated facility. But you

4477
02:36:07,752 --> 02:36:10,752
could wave that by a

4478
02:36:10,856 --> 02:36:11,724
two-thirds vote of the full

4479
02:36:11,724 --> 02:36:13,626
council with a justification

4480
02:36:13,626 --> 02:36:16,428
as to why a city-owned

4481
02:36:16,428 --> 02:36:17,280
facility is not sufficient or

4482
02:36:17,280 --> 02:36:18,430
available. So if she's

4483
02:36:18,430 --> 02:36:19,598
indicating through her Second

4484
02:36:19,598 --> 02:36:20,465
Amendment is yes, we still

4485
02:36:20,465 --> 02:36:23,235
have to hold the installation

4486
02:36:23,235 --> 02:36:26,138
in city-owned facility. But if

4487
02:36:26,138 --> 02:36:27,339
there is a request to waive

4488
02:36:27,339 --> 02:36:28,400
that requirement, then if

4489
02:36:28,400 --> 02:36:30,175
that's granted that it would

4490
02:36:30,175 --> 02:36:30,909
need to be advertised

4491
02:36:30,909 --> 02:36:31,643
additional places besides just

4492
02:36:31,643 --> 02:36:32,878
the sunshine notice that would

4493
02:36:32,878 --> 02:36:33,379
be released. Okay. All right.

4494
02:36:33,379 --> 02:36:35,779
Thank you for the

4495
02:36:37,583 --> 02:36:38,217
clarification.

4496
02:36:38,217 --> 02:36:38,917
>> All right. Thank you,

4497
02:36:38,917 --> 02:36:41,520
wrapping up the discussion on

4498
02:36:41,520 --> 02:36:42,554
the amendment. No, okay. All

4499
02:36:42,554 --> 02:36:43,221
right. All in favor of the

4500
02:36:43,221 --> 02:36:44,189
amendment signify by saying

4501
02:36:44,189 --> 02:36:46,958
Aye, aye. Any opposed say nay.

4502
02:36:46,958 --> 02:36:49,661
And then carries. Now we are

4503
02:36:49,661 --> 02:36:51,930
on the bill there. Moved. The

4504
02:36:51,930 --> 02:36:54,767
bill is twice amended. Got a

4505
02:36:54,767 --> 02:36:55,801
motion. Second on the bill has

4506
02:36:55,801 --> 02:36:56,468
twice amended going once going

4507
02:36:56,468 --> 02:36:59,468
twice open about a quarter

4508
02:37:00,500 --> 02:37:03,605
vote. No, no, no, no, no.

4509
02:37:03,808 --> 02:37:05,808
Councilmember Police. Thank

4510
02:37:06,645 --> 02:37:08,646
you, MR. PRESIDENT. I didn't

4511
02:37:08,646 --> 02:37:09,915
speak on this bill during

4512
02:37:09,915 --> 02:37:10,615
committee. I really spoken on

4513
02:37:10,615 --> 02:37:12,685
this bill much at all, but I

4514
02:37:12,685 --> 02:37:13,618
would speak on it now. It also

4515
02:37:13,618 --> 02:37:14,352
would like to be listed as a

4516
02:37:14,352 --> 02:37:17,622
co-sponsor of this bill. And I

4517
02:37:17,622 --> 02:37:19,580
was on a one not on here and

4518
02:37:19,580 --> 02:37:20,920
this. I have to applaud

4519
02:37:20,920 --> 02:37:22,920
COUNCILMAN Carlucci. Following

4520
02:37:23,529 --> 02:37:24,162
this bill. I'm really

4521
02:37:24,162 --> 02:37:24,729
disappointed with some of

4522
02:37:24,729 --> 02:37:27,129
stuff that I've heard

4523
02:37:29,134 --> 02:37:31,534
regarding it. To Kurt.

4524
02:37:33,839 --> 02:37:34,472
Leadership is a privilege. And

4525
02:37:34,472 --> 02:37:35,174
being the PRESIDENT, this

4526
02:37:35,174 --> 02:37:38,174
council or the vice PRESIDENT

4527
02:37:38,811 --> 02:37:40,545
Is a privilege. And to think

4528
02:37:40,545 --> 02:37:43,470
that anyone would want to

4529
02:37:43,470 --> 02:37:43,749
leave one of these beautiful

4530
02:37:43,749 --> 02:37:46,685
public buildings and not have

4531
02:37:46,685 --> 02:37:48,621
the ceremony done here. Is

4532
02:37:48,621 --> 02:37:50,589
ridiculous to me. Want to a

4533
02:37:50,589 --> 02:37:51,190
private reception couple days

4534
02:37:51,190 --> 02:37:51,924
later. Buying the media

4535
02:37:51,924 --> 02:37:53,358
reception should also probably

4536
02:37:53,358 --> 02:37:54,392
be in a public building,

4537
02:37:54,392 --> 02:37:55,930
frankly. So I don't I don't

4538
02:37:55,930 --> 02:37:55,794
love the amendment that would

4539
02:37:55,794 --> 02:37:59,994
just pass, but it is what it

4540
02:38:00,966 --> 02:38:01,667
is. I just don't understand in

4541
02:38:01,667 --> 02:38:03,535
Congress. If you get sworn in

4542
02:38:03,535 --> 02:38:04,202
as a new senator or a new

4543
02:38:04,202 --> 02:38:07,372
Congress member to do it on

4544
02:38:07,372 --> 02:38:08,707
the floor. In the state

4545
02:38:08,707 --> 02:38:09,441
legislature. If you're a House

4546
02:38:09,441 --> 02:38:11,760
member or a senator, you do it

4547
02:38:11,760 --> 02:38:11,142
on the floor. Why the h#

4548
02:38:11,142 --> 02:38:11,209
#

4549
02:38:11,209 --> 02:38:13,440
#

4550
02:38:13,440 --> 02:38:16,248
would we not do it here? It

4551
02:38:16,248 --> 02:38:16,882
doesn't make sense to me.

4552
02:38:16,882 --> 02:38:19,282
Language Bozo. Called Mr,

4553
02:38:19,518 --> 02:38:20,252
PRESIDENT, but it's just this

4554
02:38:20,252 --> 02:38:21,753
isn't rocket science. And this

4555
02:38:21,753 --> 02:38:25,123
isn't a bad bill. This is kind

4556
02:38:25,123 --> 02:38:25,757
of common sense. And to the

4557
02:38:25,757 --> 02:38:27,225
point of what one of our

4558
02:38:27,225 --> 02:38:28,460
former council PRESIDENT Said,

4559
02:38:28,460 --> 02:38:29,940
I thought it was a beautiful

4560
02:38:29,940 --> 02:38:29,794
ceremony that was of the

4561
02:38:29,794 --> 02:38:30,796
performing Arts center right

4562
02:38:30,796 --> 02:38:33,164
on our river in a public

4563
02:38:33,164 --> 02:38:36,135
building. This is the people's

4564
02:38:36,135 --> 02:38:37,503
chamber. Of the city of

4565
02:38:37,503 --> 02:38:40,503
Jacksonville were a big deal.

4566
02:38:40,572 --> 02:38:41,273
This is a big city. And we

4567
02:38:41,273 --> 02:38:42,775
should be proud of that. And

4568
02:38:42,775 --> 02:38:43,475
if you're in leadership, you

4569
02:38:43,475 --> 02:38:47,750
should get sworn in right up

4570
02:38:50,150 --> 02:38:51,683
there. I love the fancy

4571
02:38:51,683 --> 02:38:53,385
parties that I've seen a prior

4572
02:38:53,385 --> 02:38:56,288
events and love seeing women

4573
02:38:56,288 --> 02:38:56,955
with Champaign dresses. That's

4574
02:38:56,955 --> 02:38:59,955
not what being in public

4575
02:39:00,592 --> 02:39:03,592
service is about. It's about

4576
02:39:03,895 --> 02:39:05,130
getting sworn in and doing a

4577
02:39:05,130 --> 02:39:08,333
job for a year as the chair of

4578
02:39:08,333 --> 02:39:08,967
a large governing body. It's

4579
02:39:08,967 --> 02:39:12,567
not meant to be some big,

4580
02:39:14,540 --> 02:39:15,274
awesome party. And it's not.

4581
02:39:15,274 --> 02:39:18,344
So much to ask that it be done

4582
02:39:18,344 --> 02:39:19,780
in our city hall one of the

4583
02:39:19,780 --> 02:39:22,780
many public buildings that are

4584
02:39:22,914 --> 02:39:24,650
within a stone's throw. Yeah,

4585
02:39:24,650 --> 02:39:25,350
we've got people who are

4586
02:39:25,350 --> 02:39:26,185
disabled. They can't use jta

4587
02:39:26,185 --> 02:39:29,185
services. But guess what, to

4588
02:39:29,788 --> 02:39:30,822
have one of these events and

4589
02:39:30,822 --> 02:39:31,490
events space where they might

4590
02:39:31,490 --> 02:39:34,260
not have ada. Compliance is

4591
02:39:34,260 --> 02:39:38,226
crazy to me. I just don't get

4592
02:39:38,464 --> 02:39:39,164
it. This is a good bill. And

4593
02:39:39,164 --> 02:39:41,564
what COUNCILMAN Carlucci want

4594
02:39:41,567 --> 02:39:44,369
to do was right. And I think

4595
02:39:44,369 --> 02:39:45,403
that anyone who goes into

4596
02:39:45,403 --> 02:39:46,380
leadership should be excited

4597
02:39:46,380 --> 02:39:49,380
to stand here with their

4598
02:39:49,841 --> 02:39:50,543
family. And get sworn in to

4599
02:39:50,543 --> 02:39:51,243
lead a great governing body.

4600
02:39:51,243 --> 02:39:53,578
But to think that we need to

4601
02:39:53,578 --> 02:39:55,381
raise all this money and spend

4602
02:39:55,381 --> 02:39:57,216
tons of cash on and event. All

4603
02:39:57,216 --> 02:39:58,917
we're doing is helping out our

4604
02:39:58,917 --> 02:39:59,518
lobbyist and consultant

4605
02:39:59,518 --> 02:40:01,918
friends. And that's not

4606
02:40:01,953 --> 02:40:04,353
appropriate either. Grow up.

4607
02:40:07,626 --> 02:40:08,327
This isn't about ego. Is about

4608
02:40:08,327 --> 02:40:09,610
representing this city as the

4609
02:40:09,610 --> 02:40:12,300
Predator times like this was a

4610
02:40:12,300 --> 02:40:12,664
thank you, councilmember them.

4611
02:40:12,664 --> 02:40:13,332
Questions been called on

4612
02:40:13,332 --> 02:40:15,732
become the question. Raise

4613
02:40:27,813 --> 02:40:28,146
your hand.

4614
02:40:28,146 --> 02:40:30,146
Questions been

4615
02:40:43,428 --> 02:40:46,428

year I move the amendment.

4621
02:40:59,345 --> 02:41:02,345

person purpose. Point of

4624
02:41:04,383 --> 02:41:06,783
personal privilege. I don't

4625
02:41:08,920 --> 02:41:10,556
think so. No called point of

4626
02:41:10,556 --> 02:41:11,223
order. We can check with ogc

4627
02:41:11,223 --> 02:41:11,890
this if it stands. What is

4628
02:41:11,890 --> 02:41:14,893
your point of order if you

4629
02:41:14,893 --> 02:41:15,860
haven't? I really don't have a

4630
02:41:15,860 --> 02:41:16,762
point or I just wanted to ask

4631
02:41:16,762 --> 02:41:19,198
a person point of personal

4632
02:41:19,198 --> 02:41:21,598
privilege to share something.

4633
02:41:22,670 --> 02:41:23,334
>> I don't know if that's a

4634
02:41:23,334 --> 02:41:24,360
something that can be did not

determination of the presiding

4646
02:41:45,624 --> 02:41:46,325

COUNCILMAN Johnson, you're

4691
02:43:57,923 --> 02:44:01,523
recognized. I made the bill a

4692
02:44:01,527 --> 02:44:02,561
substituted. Thank you, MR.

4693
02:44:02,561 --> 02:44:04,229
PRESIDENT, I just wanted to

4694
02:44:04,229 --> 02:44:05,564
rise quickly to say this bill

4695
02:44:05,564 --> 02:44:07,564
was this particular

4696
02:44:09,468 --> 02:44:10,168
legislation was dead. This

4697
02:44:10,168 --> 02:44:12,168
group Reconstruction has

4698
02:44:12,371 --> 02:44:14,306
worked diligently to make this

4699
02:44:14,306 --> 02:44:16,208
happen. I spent a good part of

4700
02:44:16,208 --> 02:44:16,809
my childhood in this building.

4701
02:44:16,809 --> 02:44:18,760
The armory was formally

4702
02:44:18,760 --> 02:44:19,778
department of Parks and

4703
02:44:19,778 --> 02:44:20,445
Recreation. You're for the

4704
02:44:20,445 --> 02:44:23,445
city of Jacksonville and at

4705
02:44:23,549 --> 02:44:24,490
the time back in the 1980's

4706
02:44:24,490 --> 02:44:24,717
maritime hosiery

4707
02:44:24,717 --> 02:44:26,351
headquartered. The mayor's

4708
02:44:26,351 --> 02:44:28,153
team volunteer program in this

4709
02:44:28,153 --> 02:44:31,230
building. Also in a subsequent

4710
02:44:31,230 --> 02:44:32,657
meeting, learned back in the

4711
02:44:32,657 --> 02:44:33,259
1940's that per soprano Marian

4712
02:44:33,259 --> 02:44:34,859
Anderson saying in this

4713
02:44:34,859 --> 02:44:36,562
building. So there's so much

4714
02:44:36,562 --> 02:44:37,262
history there and I'm happy

4715
02:44:37,262 --> 02:44:37,963
that reconstruction is here.

4716
02:44:37,963 --> 02:44:41,333
And then I was able to do the

4717
02:44:41,333 --> 02:44:42,330
work to help them to bring

4718
02:44:42,330 --> 02:44:42,734
this across the finish line.

4719
02:44:42,734 --> 02:44:43,268
I'm looking forward to seeing

4720
02:44:43,268 --> 02:44:45,170
this crown jewel of

4721
02:44:45,170 --> 02:44:46,372
Jacksonville be reactivated

4722
02:44:46,372 --> 02:44:47,139
and then we preserve its

4723
02:44:47,139 --> 02:44:48,306
history. I hope that you'll

4724
02:44:48,306 --> 02:44:48,941
support this legislation.

4725
02:44:48,941 --> 02:44:49,474
Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT,

4726
02:44:49,474 --> 02:44:50,175
thank Doug Johnson,

4727
02:44:50,175 --> 02:44:52,575
Councilmember Blue. So thank

4728
02:44:53,979 --> 02:44:56,482
you. As PRESIDENT. This item

4729
02:44:56,482 --> 02:44:57,216
or this, this parcel has

4730
02:44:57,216 --> 02:44:57,883
discussed for many, many years

4731
02:44:57,883 --> 02:44:59,418
now. Glad to see that we're

4732
02:44:59,418 --> 02:45:00,652
seeing some real action on it.

4733
02:45:00,652 --> 02:45:01,353
I will say, though, one of the

4734
02:45:01,353 --> 02:45:02,880
things that I was looking at

4735
02:45:02,880 --> 02:45:04,389
doing as an amendment, but I'm

4736
02:45:04,389 --> 02:45:06,910
holding back on when the

4737
02:45:06,910 --> 02:45:09,910
property does go through and

4738
02:45:09,195 --> 02:45:10,195
gets old. One of my goals was

4739
02:45:10,195 --> 02:45:11,397
that we would take some of the

4740
02:45:11,397 --> 02:45:11,997
some of the cell costs about

4741
02:45:11,997 --> 02:45:12,965
$500,000 moving to the

4742
02:45:12,965 --> 02:45:14,965
Northwest Trust fund.

4743
02:45:15,734 --> 02:45:16,401
>> The reason why that number

4744
02:45:16,401 --> 02:45:17,102
makes sense is because year

4745
02:45:17,102 --> 02:45:19,505
ago we took out $500,000 from

4746
02:45:19,505 --> 02:45:21,306
the Trust fund because of the

4747
02:45:21,306 --> 02:45:24,906
fuel depot. If you recall. So

4748
02:45:27,413 --> 02:45:28,580
we we took 500 k I think put

4749
02:45:28,580 --> 02:45:29,481
it towards some project out.

4750
02:45:29,481 --> 02:45:30,181
They're related to the fuel

4751
02:45:30,181 --> 02:45:32,751
Depot and 500,000 is a lot in

4752
02:45:32,751 --> 02:45:33,886
the trust fund. And so for

4753
02:45:33,886 --> 02:45:36,254
those of us who have districts

4754
02:45:36,254 --> 02:45:36,921
that trust fund facts, there's

4755
02:45:36,921 --> 02:45:39,525
a lot of small businesses,

4756
02:45:39,525 --> 02:45:40,226
facade, grant improvements.

4757
02:45:40,226 --> 02:45:42,394
You know, especially in some

4758
02:45:42,394 --> 02:45:43,963
pretty hard hit, you know,

4759
02:45:43,963 --> 02:45:44,596
commercial areas. It's really,

4760
02:45:44,596 --> 02:45:46,865
really important. So just

4761
02:45:46,865 --> 02:45:48,100
bring that up now at a later

4762
02:45:48,100 --> 02:45:50,235
time. And we are talking about

4763
02:45:50,235 --> 02:45:51,903
where dollars go from the

4764
02:45:51,903 --> 02:45:52,605
sale. I just asked to keep an

4765
02:45:52,605 --> 02:45:55,874
open mind that we look at to

4766
02:45:55,874 --> 02:45:56,575
to to put at least if not, I

4767
02:45:56,575 --> 02:45:59,211
don't take all of it. I think

4768
02:45:59,211 --> 02:45:59,878
it is getting 500,000 to pay

4769
02:45:59,878 --> 02:46:00,579
off what was already taken

4770
02:46:00,579 --> 02:46:01,313
out. That's gonna make sense.

4771
02:46:01,313 --> 02:46:04,316
Thank you so much. All right.

4772
02:46:04,316 --> 02:46:06,385
Thank you. Councilmember done.

4773
02:46:06,385 --> 02:46:07,218
Was already in the queue to

4774
02:46:07,218 --> 02:46:07,920
say the exact opposite. I

4775
02:46:07,920 --> 02:46:10,890
think we should sell as much

4776
02:46:10,890 --> 02:46:11,257
as we can.

4777
02:46:11,257 --> 02:46:13,225
>> There's so many piece of

4778
02:46:13,225 --> 02:46:15,193
property the city owns and I

4779
02:46:15,193 --> 02:46:15,894
was happy to see this actually

4780
02:46:15,894 --> 02:46:16,728
got filed. I was dynamite ing

4781
02:46:16,728 --> 02:46:20,132
some of our staff to get off

4782
02:46:20,132 --> 02:46:20,866
their key stirs too. Get this

4783
02:46:20,866 --> 02:46:24,466
thing sold. Also some I'm glad

4784
02:46:24,469 --> 02:46:25,370
my my to go in here. But we

4785
02:46:25,370 --> 02:46:27,205
should sell anything that is

4786
02:46:27,205 --> 02:46:29,174
not necessary for government

4787
02:46:29,174 --> 02:46:31,143
service and we should take the

4788
02:46:31,143 --> 02:46:32,377
money that we get from

4789
02:46:32,377 --> 02:46:33,440
buildings and land that we

4790
02:46:33,440 --> 02:46:34,880
sell, whether it's in land

4791
02:46:34,880 --> 02:46:35,581
bank or anything else and use

4792
02:46:35,581 --> 02:46:37,483
it to pay off all this

4793
02:46:37,483 --> 02:46:39,384
ridiculous amount of

4794
02:46:39,384 --> 02:46:40,119
completion grants. So I would

4795
02:46:40,119 --> 02:46:41,153
ask that the Finance Committee

4796
02:46:41,153 --> 02:46:41,887
when we see this money come

4797
02:46:41,887 --> 02:46:43,722
through because it's gonna

4798
02:46:43,722 --> 02:46:45,824
come to the budget. Once the

4799
02:46:45,824 --> 02:46:47,659
sale closes that we grab as

4800
02:46:47,659 --> 02:46:48,927
much money we can in finance

4801
02:46:48,927 --> 02:46:49,861
and put it against completion

4802
02:46:49,861 --> 02:46:50,662
grants so that we can actually

4803
02:46:50,662 --> 02:46:51,396
survive the next couple of

4804
02:46:51,396 --> 02:46:53,365
years. I'm sure council and it

4805
02:46:53,365 --> 02:46:55,365
will greatly. Alright,

4806
02:46:58,837 --> 02:47:00,720
councilmember gay. Thank you,

4807
02:47:00,720 --> 02:47:02,472
MR. PRESIDENT of initially

4808
02:47:02,974 --> 02:47:04,974
voted against this.

4809
02:47:07,646 --> 02:47:08,380
>> But they came back and we

4810
02:47:08,380 --> 02:47:11,500
wouldn't get in the the money,

4811
02:47:11,500 --> 02:47:12,317
the deal that we should have.

4812
02:47:12,317 --> 02:47:15,221
And so they came. But before

4813
02:47:15,221 --> 02:47:18,221
rules and up to to 500,000

4814
02:47:19,925 --> 02:47:20,592
more to it. So I was hoping by

4815
02:47:20,592 --> 02:47:23,462
the time we get here would

4816
02:47:23,462 --> 02:47:24,960
have another 500,000. But

4817
02:47:24,960 --> 02:47:26,131
supportive of and now. So

4818
02:47:26,131 --> 02:47:29,131
thank you. All right. That's

4819
02:47:31,736 --> 02:47:32,404
PRESIDENT White.

4820
02:47:32,404 --> 02:47:32,971
>> MR. Just mash the button

4821
02:47:32,971 --> 02:47:35,371
for MISS Pittman. Her

4822
02:47:35,474 --> 02:47:36,274
computers down.

4823
02:47:36,274 --> 02:47:36,909
>> Alright, COUNCILWOMAN

4824
02:47:36,909 --> 02:47:39,909
Pittman on behalf of past

4825
02:47:46,252 --> 02:47:48,652
present White. Just for

4826
02:47:48,987 --> 02:47:51,387
clarification. So I can

4827
02:47:52,357 --> 02:47:54,930
understand COUNCILMAN To me.

4828
02:47:54,930 --> 02:47:56,929
Can you share with me if this

4829
02:47:56,929 --> 02:47:59,365
is like a one time opportunity

4830
02:47:59,365 --> 02:48:00,499
for northwest or can we do

4831
02:48:00,499 --> 02:48:04,990
this with other deals as well?

4832
02:48:05,537 --> 02:48:07,540
Decide spot. Thank you,

4833
02:48:07,540 --> 02:48:08,240
COUNCILMAN Fly question to the

4834
02:48:08,240 --> 02:48:09,742
PRESIDENT. So no, I was just

4835
02:48:09,742 --> 02:48:10,442
saying when the sale nothing's

4836
02:48:10,442 --> 02:48:11,510
happening tonight. There's no

4837
02:48:11,510 --> 02:48:12,177
action this evening. But if

4838
02:48:12,177 --> 02:48:13,779
you recall, we had remember

4839
02:48:13,779 --> 02:48:14,412
the first year of our term.

4840
02:48:14,412 --> 02:48:16,812
>> lot of people redshirt

4841
02:48:18,170 --> 02:48:18,950
showed up for like 2 years

4842
02:48:18,950 --> 02:48:22,188
talking about a fuel depot in

4843
02:48:22,188 --> 02:48:25,570
district 12 later on that item

4844
02:48:25,570 --> 02:48:26,124
was withdrawn and for whatever

4845
02:48:26,124 --> 02:48:27,559
reason, we gave $500,000 on

4846
02:48:27,559 --> 02:48:28,260
the Northwest Trust Fund to

4847
02:48:28,260 --> 02:48:31,564
that entity, I think to move

4848
02:48:31,564 --> 02:48:32,298
the project to another place.

4849
02:48:32,298 --> 02:48:33,732
So that means we lost $500,000

4850
02:48:33,732 --> 02:48:35,568
out of the Northwest Trust

4851
02:48:35,568 --> 02:48:36,268
fund those dollars on our

4852
02:48:36,268 --> 02:48:37,770
economic development go to a

4853
02:48:37,770 --> 02:48:40,170
slew of different things,

4854
02:48:41,730 --> 02:48:41,974
mainly for projects and

4855
02:48:41,974 --> 02:48:44,374
districts to 12 and then 7, 8,

4856
02:48:46,450 --> 02:48:46,678
9, 10. So really hard hit

4857
02:48:46,678 --> 02:48:47,813
areas. Some really great

4858
02:48:47,813 --> 02:48:48,647
commercial corridors. I was

4859
02:48:48,647 --> 02:48:49,247
just suggesting like

4860
02:48:49,247 --> 02:48:50,682
COUNCILMAN Time it was

4861
02:48:50,682 --> 02:48:52,617
suggesting sale goes through

4862
02:48:52,617 --> 02:48:54,453
those dollars are, you know,

4863
02:48:54,453 --> 02:48:55,621
it's going to be up to the

4864
02:48:55,621 --> 02:48:57,623
administration and where those

4865
02:48:57,623 --> 02:48:58,323
dollars go from the sale go

4866
02:48:58,323 --> 02:49:00,659
directly to the general fund.

4867
02:49:00,659 --> 02:49:02,528
Doesn't go into reserve

4868
02:49:02,528 --> 02:49:03,862
contingency. Doesn't go into

4869
02:49:03,862 --> 02:49:05,970
the reserves. What does it do?

4870
02:49:05,970 --> 02:49:05,931
And I was just saying, let's

4871
02:49:05,931 --> 02:49:08,331
take the $500,000. That kind

4872
02:49:08,500 --> 02:49:11,500
of was abruptly taken out

4873
02:49:11,571 --> 02:49:12,938
towards the fuel Depot. Let's

4874
02:49:12,938 --> 02:49:13,672
put that money back into the

4875
02:49:13,672 --> 02:49:14,373
Northwest Trust funds. There's

4876
02:49:14,373 --> 02:49:15,407
a number of projects and I'm

4877
02:49:15,407 --> 02:49:17,420
sure can get done that. I'm

4878
02:49:17,420 --> 02:49:18,743
sure economic development like

4879
02:49:18,743 --> 02:49:19,445
to do. I know economic

4880
02:49:19,445 --> 02:49:20,112
development did a lot of work

4881
02:49:20,112 --> 02:49:22,614
on this project since I've

4882
02:49:22,614 --> 02:49:23,348
been in office. And so I also

4883
02:49:23,348 --> 02:49:24,883
want to make sure that that at

4884
02:49:24,883 --> 02:49:25,584
and his team and a few more

4885
02:49:25,584 --> 02:49:26,919
tools in the tool kit to help

4886
02:49:26,919 --> 02:49:29,655
make sure that our are areas

4887
02:49:29,655 --> 02:49:30,889
that are most hard hit, get

4888
02:49:30,889 --> 02:49:32,224
some additional resources. So

4889
02:49:32,224 --> 02:49:32,924
that said it wasn't meant for

4890
02:49:32,924 --> 02:49:35,260
one project. It's just meant

4891
02:49:35,260 --> 02:49:36,361
to go into the into the fund

4892
02:49:36,361 --> 02:49:37,396
so they can go to any number

4893
02:49:37,396 --> 02:49:39,331
of things. Yeah, I just I just

4894
02:49:39,331 --> 02:49:41,600
want to set presidents and if

4895
02:49:41,600 --> 02:49:43,736
we were, you know what type of

4896
02:49:43,736 --> 02:49:45,871
legislation would be done

4897
02:49:45,871 --> 02:49:46,572
because, you know, I remember

4898
02:49:46,572 --> 02:49:48,740
when this project first came,

4899
02:49:48,740 --> 02:49:51,143
I was very excited. I'm like.

4900
02:49:51,143 --> 02:49:53,143
>> COUNCILMAN Johnson. You

4901
02:49:54,113 --> 02:49:55,380
know, a lot of us have

4902
02:49:55,380 --> 02:49:56,820
experience opportunity in that

4903
02:49:56,820 --> 02:49:59,820
building when it was concerts

4904
02:49:59,117 --> 02:49:59,819
or anything like that. But I

4905
02:49:59,819 --> 02:50:01,287
just wanted to understand the

4906
02:50:01,287 --> 02:50:04,287
whole process. And what was

4907
02:50:04,356 --> 02:50:05,123
your thinking that?

4908
02:50:05,123 --> 02:50:05,724
>> Listen, if we want to put

4909
02:50:05,724 --> 02:50:06,725
all the dollars in the

4910
02:50:06,725 --> 02:50:08,527
Northwest Trust fund would

4911
02:50:08,527 --> 02:50:09,227
love it. But I feel like

4912
02:50:09,227 --> 02:50:10,863
Patriots might not want sure.

4913
02:50:10,863 --> 02:50:11,530
I understand. Thank you. All

4914
02:50:11,530 --> 02:50:13,930
right. That's present Salem

4915
02:50:17,502 --> 02:50:19,404
recognized.

4916
02:50:19,404 --> 02:50:20,472
>> Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT, I

4917
02:50:20,472 --> 02:50:22,374
just wanted to stand in

4918
02:50:22,374 --> 02:50:23,108
support the comments by

4919
02:50:23,108 --> 02:50:24,410
Councilmember Diamond in terms

4920
02:50:24,410 --> 02:50:25,110
of trying to cover some of

4921
02:50:25,110 --> 02:50:27,510
these completion grants that

4922
02:50:27,713 --> 02:50:29,781
are going to swallow And I

4923
02:50:29,781 --> 02:50:30,649
bring your attention to 2025.

4924
02:50:30,649 --> 02:50:32,718
'09, 100 that we passed a

4925
02:50:32,718 --> 02:50:35,718
little while ago. Which is 2

4926
02:50:39,692 --> 02:50:42,920
point. For a 3, 4 million

4927
02:50:42,761 --> 02:50:43,562
dollars and interest from from

4928
02:50:43,562 --> 02:50:47,166
the cra out on the north side

4929
02:50:47,166 --> 02:50:47,833
that has since closed and the

4930
02:50:47,833 --> 02:50:49,833
administration has proposed

4931
02:50:50,970 --> 02:50:51,771
spending it on some things. I

4932
02:50:51,771 --> 02:50:53,738
believe that money as well

4933
02:50:53,738 --> 02:50:55,574
should go towards completion

4934
02:50:55,574 --> 02:50:56,275
Now I'll be having an

4935
02:50:56,275 --> 02:50:59,275
amendment when that gets into

4936
02:51:00,212 --> 02:51:02,314
committee to do just that.

4937
02:51:02,314 --> 02:51:04,714
Councilmember gay, in his

4938
02:51:04,950 --> 02:51:05,651
district. Obviously if he had

4939
02:51:05,651 --> 02:51:08,651
some thoughts, I'm sure like

4940
02:51:09,540 --> 02:51:10,956
to hear those. But if not, we

4941
02:51:10,956 --> 02:51:12,124
need to. We need to pay off

4942
02:51:12,124 --> 02:51:12,824
these completion grants in any

4943
02:51:12,824 --> 02:51:15,600
money that we uncover, in my

4944
02:51:15,600 --> 02:51:16,862
opinion between now and budget

4945
02:51:16,862 --> 02:51:20,462
time ought to go towards that.

4946
02:51:20,566 --> 02:51:21,734
Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT.

4947
02:51:21,734 --> 02:51:23,569
>> All right. Thank you past.

4948
02:51:23,569 --> 02:51:24,236
Present or lose you as Taylor

4949
02:51:24,236 --> 02:51:24,870
is on the ql as one on our

4950
02:51:24,870 --> 02:51:27,270
council auditors and they

4951
02:51:27,405 --> 02:51:28,173
won't speak.

4952
02:51:28,173 --> 02:51:28,841
>> Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT

4953
02:51:28,841 --> 02:51:29,875
through the present to the

4954
02:51:29,875 --> 02:51:30,576
council just for

4955
02:51:30,576 --> 02:51:32,878
clarification, wanted to make

4956
02:51:32,878 --> 02:51:34,800
sure everyone knows that

4957
02:51:34,800 --> 02:51:34,880
pretty amendment. It will go

4958
02:51:34,880 --> 02:51:37,880
into the Jax Recreational and

4959
02:51:38,584 --> 02:51:39,285
Land acquisition fund. So

4960
02:51:39,285 --> 02:51:41,685
separate legislation would be

4961
02:51:42,154 --> 02:51:42,888
needed if anyone, whatever

4962
02:51:42,888 --> 02:51:44,290
mission that anyone is wanting

4963
02:51:44,290 --> 02:51:46,558
to accomplish would need to be

4964
02:51:46,558 --> 02:51:48,360
filed to pull those funds out

4965
02:51:48,360 --> 02:51:49,280
of that fun. You wouldn't see

4966
02:51:49,280 --> 02:51:49,728
it on a quarterly summary.

4967
02:51:49,728 --> 02:51:50,863
That funds not going to show

4968
02:51:50,863 --> 02:51:51,597
up within that report. So just

4969
02:51:51,597 --> 02:51:52,965
wanted to clarify that. If you

4970
02:51:52,965 --> 02:51:53,665
have any questions.

4971
02:51:53,665 --> 02:51:56,665
>> All right. Thank you, MR.

4972
02:51:57,690 --> 02:51:58,371
Taylor PRESIDENT G. The

4973
02:51:58,371 --> 02:52:01,371
questions. I threw the council

4974
02:52:03,643 --> 02:52:05,210
PRESIDENT. Perhaps a general

4975
02:52:05,210 --> 02:52:05,944
counsel. There is this

4976
02:52:05,944 --> 02:52:08,944
considered of the armory, says

4977
02:52:13,218 --> 02:52:13,886
it used to be the home of the

4978
02:52:13,886 --> 02:52:14,553
recreation department. Just

4979
02:52:14,553 --> 02:52:16,953
consider Parkland. I'm just

4980
02:52:20,920 --> 02:52:21,259
curious.

4981
02:52:21,259 --> 02:52:22,394
>> Through the county council

4982
02:52:22,394 --> 02:52:23,620
PRESIDENT To Councilmember

4983
02:52:23,620 --> 02:52:23,729
College. You know, I don't

4984
02:52:23,729 --> 02:52:25,164
believe it's considered ok.

4985
02:52:25,164 --> 02:52:28,164
And the second question is

4986
02:52:29,769 --> 02:52:32,769
generally, when before we sell

4987
02:52:32,904 --> 02:52:33,972
surplus land, that land has to

4988
02:52:33,972 --> 02:52:34,640
be offer to all the different

4989
02:52:34,640 --> 02:52:37,640
city departments to see if

4990
02:52:40,980 --> 02:52:41,714
they. Have use of that land.

4991
02:52:41,714 --> 02:52:42,414
And is that going through that

4992
02:52:42,414 --> 02:52:45,250
process or does that process

4993
02:52:45,250 --> 02:52:46,385
even apply anymore?

4994
02:52:46,385 --> 02:52:48,120
>> Through the council

4995
02:52:48,120 --> 02:52:49,654
PRESIDENT To Councilmember

4996
02:52:49,654 --> 02:52:50,422
Carlucci. I do believe that

4997
02:52:50,422 --> 02:52:52,191
that process was undertaken.

4998
02:52:52,191 --> 02:52:53,626
There are some waivers in the

4999
02:52:53,626 --> 02:52:55,327
bill, but it was determined

5000
02:52:55,327 --> 02:52:56,228
that there wasn't a need for

5001
02:52:56,228 --> 02:52:56,929
it by any of the departments

5002
02:52:56,929 --> 02:52:59,965
within the city. So that was

5003
02:52:59,965 --> 02:53:01,330
way for going through and in

5004
02:53:01,330 --> 02:53:02,268
check in with all the

5005
02:53:02,268 --> 02:53:03,568
difference this. Hunter did

5006
02:53:03,568 --> 02:53:04,236
undertake that process, I

5007
02:53:04,236 --> 02:53:05,771
believe and clarified that

5008
02:53:05,771 --> 02:53:09,371
committee goes on. I just want

5009
02:53:12,177 --> 02:53:13,450
to make sure that was done let

5010
02:53:13,450 --> 02:53:15,981
me just make one little

5011
02:53:15,981 --> 02:53:16,648
editorial comment here since

5012
02:53:16,648 --> 02:53:18,648
everybody else's editorial

5013
02:53:20,385 --> 02:53:22,785
comments tonight. So concerned

5014
02:53:22,922 --> 02:53:23,622
about these completion grants.

5015
02:53:23,622 --> 02:53:24,323
We should have thought about

5016
02:53:24,323 --> 02:53:26,192
that when we cut the millage

5017
02:53:26,192 --> 02:53:29,792
rate at our last budget. Just

5018
02:53:31,697 --> 02:53:32,431
same. All right. Just wasn't a

5019
02:53:32,431 --> 02:53:33,980
proper posture. Believe the

5020
02:53:33,980 --> 02:53:35,000
substitute has already been

5021
02:53:35,000 --> 02:53:35,667

Your favorite topic, maybe.

5027
02:53:44,276 --> 02:53:46,278
Thank you, PRESIDENT. All of

5028
02:53:46,278 --> 02:53:47,179

5029
02:53:47,179 --> 02:53:48,547

5031
02:53:49,415 --> 02:53:50,115

02:58:30,829 --> 02:58:32,640
$900,000 that work so hard to

02:58:32,640 --> 02:58:34,464
get for affordable housing

5149
02:58:36,335 --> 02:58:38,437
that and the budget. It is now

5150
02:58:38,437 --> 02:58:39,972
and the process of paying for

5151
02:58:39,972 --> 02:58:42,372
almost 50 townhomes at the

5152
02:58:46,511 --> 02:58:48,214
beach. And prospectively will

5153
02:58:48,214 --> 02:58:48,914
help a lot of veterans because

5154
02:58:48,914 --> 02:58:52,551

call home. And I intend to.

5161
02:59:05,464 --> 02:59:06,980
And this year trying to get

5162
02:59:06,980 --> 02:59:08,498
more money for affordable

5163
02:59:10,970 --> 02:59:12,710
housing. I think we had a very

5164
02:59:12,710 --> 02:59:12,805
good sunshine meeting the

5165
02:59:12,805 --> 02:59:15,174
other day. And I want to thank

5166
02:59:15,174 --> 02:59:18,444
those who came the to sunshine

5167
02:59:18,444 --> 02:59:21,780
eating and it ended. I enjoyed

5168
02:59:21,780 --> 02:59:22,514
meeting with you all. And the

5169
02:59:22,514 --> 02:59:23,515
point of personal privilege. I

5170
02:59:23,515 --> 02:59:27,115
want to say earlier which I

5171
02:59:29,254 --> 02:59:29,922
was denied. Which is rare by.

5172
02:59:29,922 --> 02:59:32,322
Any council PRESIDENT That

5173
02:59:33,258 --> 02:59:34,927
served with. Will simply say I

5174
02:59:34,927 --> 02:59:38,527
was putting my bill out there,

5175
02:59:41,334 --> 02:59:42,680
not as any personal challenge.

5176
02:59:42,680 --> 02:59:42,868
I never spoke to anything that

5177
02:59:42,868 --> 02:59:45,268
happened at the last

5178
02:59:46,400 --> 02:59:48,404
installation. I never mention

5179
02:59:49,740 --> 02:59:49,642
one thing personal about what

5180
02:59:49,642 --> 02:59:51,477
happened at the last

5181
02:59:51,477 --> 02:59:53,877
installation. I was simply

5182
02:59:58,500 --> 03:00:00,500
drawing. 50 years. Of

5183
03:00:02,621 --> 03:00:03,255
tradition of the city Council.

5184
03:00:03,255 --> 03:00:04,423
Does anybody remember me

5185
03:00:04,423 --> 03:00:06,225
saying anything personal about

5186
03:00:06,225 --> 03:00:09,225
any of that? What happened

5187
03:00:10,763 --> 03:00:11,463
last time? No, I didn't. I was

5188
03:00:11,463 --> 03:00:13,732
trying to stick to the merits

5189
03:00:13,732 --> 03:00:14,733
of the bill. I didn't talk

5190
03:00:14,733 --> 03:00:18,333
about all the money that was

5191
03:00:18,470 --> 03:00:21,139
spent. He collected. I tried

5192
03:00:21,139 --> 03:00:24,739
stick to the Mariners. I hope

5193
03:00:25,144 --> 03:00:28,114
maybe one day. So my service,

5194
03:00:28,114 --> 03:00:28,848
terrible timing. And I said,

5195
03:00:28,848 --> 03:00:31,984
you know, what I found is

5196
03:00:31,984 --> 03:00:32,618
never good timing up here. But

5197
03:00:32,618 --> 03:00:36,218
i did what I thought was

5198
03:00:36,956 --> 03:00:37,589
right. And have to say

5199
03:00:37,589 --> 03:00:39,989
