207
00:07:07,318 --> 00:07:08,190
Thank

208
00:07:08,190 --> 00:07:08,919
you, everyone. Thank you for

209
00:07:08,919 --> 00:07:10,388
all the support for this

210
00:07:10,388 --> 00:07:12,788
resolution. I think it's

211
00:07:13,157 --> 00:07:16,157
important. That we make the

212
00:07:17,762 --> 00:07:19,964
time. To recognize and honor.

213
00:07:19,964 --> 00:07:22,333
Our men and women in blue who

214
00:07:22,333 --> 00:07:24,836
have gone above and beyond and

215
00:07:24,836 --> 00:07:27,237
I just want to make sure we

216
00:07:27,237 --> 00:07:30,741
didn't MISS What MR. Teal Red,

217
00:07:30,741 --> 00:07:32,741
2 very important things.

218
00:07:35,513 --> 00:07:37,513
Corrections Officer Johnson.

219
00:07:37,582 --> 00:07:38,416
Ran toward the concern that

220
00:07:38,416 --> 00:07:42,120
day as our men and women in

221
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,121
blue always do. And those of a

222
00:07:44,121 --> 00:07:47,121
firefighter force as well. He

223
00:07:47,158 --> 00:07:50,158
ran toward that. The concern,

224
00:07:51,829 --> 00:07:53,970
a woman in need. And he saved

225
00:07:53,970 --> 00:07:56,697
her life. He saved her life.

226
00:07:57,568 --> 00:07:59,803
Had he not. Intervened more

227
00:07:59,803 --> 00:08:00,772
than likely that wouldn't have

228
00:08:00,772 --> 00:08:03,772
occurred. There would be one

229
00:08:03,974 --> 00:08:04,675
less so walking this earth.

230
00:08:04,675 --> 00:08:08,275
But instead of that being the

231
00:08:08,646 --> 00:08:10,414
outcome. She's alive and well

232
00:08:10,414 --> 00:08:12,483
because of this man taken

233
00:08:12,483 --> 00:08:14,819
action. And so I want to make

234
00:08:14,819 --> 00:08:16,721
sure we do MISS That. And we

235
00:08:16,721 --> 00:08:17,388
take every opportunity to

236
00:08:17,388 --> 00:08:19,323
shine a light on these

237
00:08:19,323 --> 00:08:20,892
wonderful examples that are

238
00:08:20,892 --> 00:08:22,794
happening all over our city

239
00:08:22,794 --> 00:08:25,194
every day. Actually, these

240
00:08:25,696 --> 00:08:27,798
types of things are happening.

241
00:08:27,798 --> 00:08:28,699
We just want to show our young

242
00:08:28,699 --> 00:08:30,268
kids the way forward and what

243
00:08:30,268 --> 00:08:32,904
you do when there's a problem.

244
00:08:32,904 --> 00:08:33,571
This is a prime example of

245
00:08:33,571 --> 00:08:37,171
what you do when there's a

246
00:08:37,241 --> 00:08:37,942
problem. You get involved and

247
00:08:37,942 --> 00:08:40,678
try to do the best thing you

248
00:08:40,678 --> 00:08:42,580
can to help out. And the other

249
00:08:42,580 --> 00:08:43,247
thing is, you know, I'm going

250
00:08:43,247 --> 00:08:45,247
corrections officers. There

251
00:08:45,583 --> 00:08:49,183
are in the state of Florida

252
00:08:49,887 --> 00:08:51,550
over 7,700. And this man right

253
00:08:51,550 --> 00:08:54,550
here again was named number

254
00:08:56,561 --> 00:08:57,228
one out of 7 1700 Corrections

255
00:08:57,228 --> 00:08:59,628
officer officers for the

256
00:09:00,699 --> 00:09:02,233
entire state of Florida. So I

257
00:09:02,233 --> 00:09:03,100
don't want I want to make sure

258
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:05,500
everyone here and everyone

259
00:09:06,604 --> 00:09:08,500
watching listening in, they

260
00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:10,405
understand what we are

261
00:09:11,208 --> 00:09:12,143
recognizing today. Its what

262
00:09:12,143 --> 00:09:15,346
this man has chosen to do and

263
00:09:15,346 --> 00:09:17,415
how he's chosen to live a

264
00:09:17,415 --> 00:09:18,683
selfless life of service as

265
00:09:18,683 --> 00:09:20,985
well as the other men and

266
00:09:20,985 --> 00:09:21,819
women in blue are represented

267
00:09:21,819 --> 00:09:24,722
here. But there's so many

268
00:09:24,722 --> 00:09:25,290
others. And so I hope we

269
00:09:25,290 --> 00:09:27,690
continue to take the

270
00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:31,529
opportunity. To shine the

271
00:09:31,529 --> 00:09:32,563
light on the great things that

272
00:09:32,563 --> 00:09:33,264
are happening on. And I've

273
00:09:33,264 --> 00:09:36,100
been on the wonderful people

274
00:09:36,100 --> 00:09:36,801

275
00:09:36,801 --> 00:09:39,670

276
00:09:39,670 --> 00:09:40,939
every day. So GOD bless you

277
00:09:40,939 --> 00:09:43,400

PRESIDENT and I rise to

>> I do believe that this

429
00:15:24,521 --> 00:15:25,188
should be a council member.

430
00:15:25,188 --> 00:15:27,824
Let me tell you why Donald

431
00:15:27,824 --> 00:15:30,824
Smith has been and incredible

432
00:15:31,595 --> 00:15:32,262
frame to the Jacksonville

433
00:15:32,262 --> 00:15:35,262
community as not only we've

434
00:15:35,466 --> 00:15:36,601
had to to see the tough

435
00:15:36,601 --> 00:15:38,436
exterior he's put up when he

436
00:15:38,436 --> 00:15:39,136
was serving as the interim

437
00:15:39,136 --> 00:15:40,672
chief of staff temperature of

438
00:15:40,672 --> 00:15:42,407
staff of the mayor's office,

439
00:15:42,407 --> 00:15:44,643
but also the leadership that

440
00:15:44,643 --> 00:15:47,643
he brought with Florida Blue.

441
00:15:48,347 --> 00:15:49,140
I while I am a little sad to

442
00:15:49,140 --> 00:15:49,916
see him retire. I know that

443
00:15:49,916 --> 00:15:51,818
his retirement will not be

444
00:15:51,818 --> 00:15:52,686
from work and service in this

445
00:15:52,686 --> 00:15:55,322
community and to see the fact

446
00:15:55,322 --> 00:15:57,225
that this little boy from a

447
00:15:57,225 --> 00:15:58,859
little small area of Saint

448
00:15:58,859 --> 00:15:59,693
Augustine rose to the heights

449
00:15:59,693 --> 00:16:02,163
of power to lead one of the

450
00:16:02,163 --> 00:16:03,231
largest companies on the first

451
00:16:03,231 --> 00:16:05,933
coast shows that it is

452
00:16:05,933 --> 00:16:07,403
possible for anyone. And so I

453
00:16:07,403 --> 00:16:08,360
wanted to also invite

454
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,390
everyone. Florida Blue is

455
00:16:10,390 --> 00:16:13,639
having a community day on this

456
00:16:14,176 --> 00:16:14,878
Saturday, starting at 11. Am.

457
00:16:14,878 --> 00:16:15,545
And it's a tough loss Bronson

458
00:16:15,545 --> 00:16:18,315
Park, which is on the East

459
00:16:18,315 --> 00:16:19,183
Side 10, 50 Franklin Street.

460
00:16:19,183 --> 00:16:19,850
But it will also be a book

461
00:16:19,850 --> 00:16:21,518
drive will be bounce houses

462
00:16:21,518 --> 00:16:23,888
and painting and Florida blue

463
00:16:23,888 --> 00:16:25,490
will be investing in the

464
00:16:25,490 --> 00:16:29,900
community. And so I urge all

465
00:16:29,294 --> 00:16:30,280
of you to join me to honor

466
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:30,728
Darnell, but certainly Florida

467
00:16:30,728 --> 00:16:32,130
blue in the work that they're

468
00:16:32,130 --> 00:16:32,798
doing. But to bring a book

469
00:16:32,798 --> 00:16:33,498
because there will be this

470
00:16:33,498 --> 00:16:35,100
will be a book drive. And so

471
00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:36,335
everyone that brings the book

472
00:16:36,335 --> 00:16:37,270
will be able to to push

473
00:16:37,270 --> 00:16:37,970
forward into the community.

474
00:16:37,970 --> 00:16:40,370
And that's something literacy

475
00:16:40,774 --> 00:16:42,141
is near and dear to his heart.

476
00:16:42,141 --> 00:16:43,743
So with that, Mr, PRESIDENT, I

477
00:16:43,743 --> 00:16:45,779
would do move for Council

478
00:16:45,779 --> 00:16:46,446

attendance at that meeting, if

670
00:22:42,884 --> 00:22:45,120
necessary, due to the nature

671
00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:46,422
of the disruption, the

672
00:22:46,422 --> 00:22:47,957
audience MAY be cleared from

673
00:22:47,957 --> 00:22:48,558

00:22:57,101 --> 00:22:57,768
to arrest. Thank you, MR.

680
00:22:57,768 --> 00:22:59,236
Tail, Let's Leave services.

681
00:22:59,236 --> 00:23:01,839
Please note the start. Time as

682
00:23:01,839 --> 00:23:02,173
5.23 And per the floor is

683
00:23:02,173 --> 00:23:02,907
yours.

684
00:23:02,907 --> 00:23:04,943
>> My name is Kathleen. Per my

685
00:23:04,943 --> 00:23:07,943
information is on file the

686
00:23:07,946 --> 00:23:08,914
most logical place to put

687
00:23:08,914 --> 00:23:09,881
sports checks. Jack's a soccer

688
00:23:09,881 --> 00:23:11,490
stadium is in the already

689
00:23:11,490 --> 00:23:12,751
established and city focused

690
00:23:12,751 --> 00:23:14,751
downtown entertainment

691
00:23:15,855 --> 00:23:16,622
district, no medication

692
00:23:16,622 --> 00:23:18,692
mitigation is justified. When

693
00:23:18,692 --> 00:23:20,260
the stadium's presumed

694
00:23:20,260 --> 00:23:20,861
location will destroy. Saint

695
00:23:20,861 --> 00:23:22,663
Johns Town center is

696
00:23:22,663 --> 00:23:24,565
productive. Big Island swap

697
00:23:24,565 --> 00:23:26,565
and corresponding wetlands,

698
00:23:27,869 --> 00:23:28,736
which include Pablo Creek,

699
00:23:28,736 --> 00:23:29,404
resulting in putting 2 large

700
00:23:29,404 --> 00:23:31,404
neighborhoods and immediate

701
00:23:31,740 --> 00:23:34,900
jeopardy of being flooded and

702
00:23:34,900 --> 00:23:35,978
septic tanks being overtaxed

703
00:23:35,978 --> 00:23:36,946
with runoff. Not to mention

704
00:23:36,946 --> 00:23:37,613
that the project will blast

705
00:23:37,613 --> 00:23:39,381
the same neighborhoods with

706
00:23:39,381 --> 00:23:42,352
noise and light pollution. And

707
00:23:42,352 --> 00:23:44,880
what about the traffic impact?

708
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:44,688
Sure. The roads could probably

709
00:23:44,688 --> 00:23:46,957
handle bumper to bumper

710
00:23:46,957 --> 00:23:47,657
traffic in all 4 lanes. But

711
00:23:47,657 --> 00:23:49,660
the amount of time to get to

712
00:23:49,660 --> 00:23:52,263
or from anywhere in that era

713
00:23:52,263 --> 00:23:53,231
area would be astronomical.

714
00:23:53,231 --> 00:23:56,231
And no mitigation is justified

715
00:23:57,690 --> 00:23:58,170
for this project when there

716
00:23:58,170 --> 00:23:58,804
are lots of properties that

717
00:23:58,804 --> 00:24:00,973
can accommodate a soccer

718
00:24:00,973 --> 00:24:03,108
stadium of any size without

719
00:24:03,108 --> 00:24:04,710
negatively impacting

720
00:24:04,710 --> 00:24:05,845
homeowners such as the Old

721
00:24:05,845 --> 00:24:07,180
Regency Square Shopping Mall

722
00:24:07,180 --> 00:24:10,180
Cecil Field, which will also

723
00:24:10,651 --> 00:24:12,219
be home to the Jack spare or

724
00:24:12,219 --> 00:24:13,487
partnering with U.S. And

725
00:24:13,487 --> 00:24:14,622
soccer field. I'd hate to

726
00:24:14,622 --> 00:24:18,222
think that the city's hobby is

727
00:24:18,293 --> 00:24:20,495
collecting bad ideas like the

728
00:24:20,495 --> 00:24:21,196
oil depot morgues

729
00:24:21,196 --> 00:24:22,631
Chick-Fil-a's slaughterhouse

730
00:24:22,631 --> 00:24:24,266
and a poor. They placed noisy

731
00:24:24,266 --> 00:24:26,100
stadium pleading that it can

732
00:24:26,100 --> 00:24:27,503
stand in the way of progress

733
00:24:27,503 --> 00:24:30,273
and development with such a

734
00:24:30,273 --> 00:24:32,109
rubber stamp, destructive

735
00:24:32,109 --> 00:24:32,709
projects, attitude. Why even

736
00:24:32,709 --> 00:24:34,812
have a council planning

737
00:24:34,812 --> 00:24:36,814
commission or even planning

738
00:24:36,814 --> 00:24:37,882
department, please move this

739
00:24:37,882 --> 00:24:40,282
student stadium finally vote

00:25:17,793 --> 00:25:19,295
taking down jaxa just a few

756
00:25:19,295 --> 00:25:20,797
points. One is the city

757
00:25:20,797 --> 00:25:21,397
council is not supposed to be

758
00:25:21,397 --> 00:25:23,797
involved and now school

759
00:25:24,401 --> 00:25:27,401
system. From what I've heard

760
00:25:28,306 --> 00:25:29,440
from you guys many times, but

761
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:30,107
MR. Rory Diamond is involved

762
00:25:30,107 --> 00:25:30,774
in Turning Point usa Clubs

763
00:25:30,774 --> 00:25:33,774
that they're forcing on our

764
00:25:33,778 --> 00:25:37,160
children. I think he step back

765
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,160
from that. Those clothes were

766
00:25:40,619 --> 00:25:43,619
developed by Charlie Kirk. Who

767
00:25:43,723 --> 00:25:46,123
is unknown white supremacists.

768
00:25:47,294 --> 00:25:48,280
So that's one point. The other

769
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:48,395
point is somebody asked me why

770
00:25:48,395 --> 00:25:48,466
am I so h#

771
00:25:48,466 --> 00:25:48,539
#

772
00:25:48,539 --> 00:25:48,628
#

773
00:25:48,628 --> 00:25:48,829
o#

774
00:25:48,829 --> 00:25:50,829
the city

775
00:25:54,101 --> 00:25:54,802
Council? I find that. To be

776
00:25:54,802 --> 00:25:55,369
interesting because I see the

777
00:25:55,369 --> 00:25:55,444
city council being h#

778
00:25:55,444 --> 00:25:55,517
#

779
00:25:55,517 --> 00:25:55,603
#

780
00:25:55,603 --> 00:25:55,736
o#

781
00:25:55,736 --> 00:25:57,736
the

782
00:25:58,573 --> 00:25:59,974
residents of Jacksonville.

783
00:25:59,974 --> 00:26:02,374
Last night. 101 people showed

784
00:26:03,478 --> 00:26:04,146
up at a town hall. Regarding

785
00:26:04,146 --> 00:26:06,546
the neighborhood below vite

786
00:26:07,490 --> 00:26:09,519
rights. All of you were

787
00:26:09,519 --> 00:26:12,519
invited. But only 2 of you

788
00:26:14,558 --> 00:26:15,626
showed up. They say that.

789
00:26:15,626 --> 00:26:17,761
Because when it comes to the

790
00:26:17,761 --> 00:26:19,300
business of the people of this

791
00:26:19,300 --> 00:26:22,300
town, it seems like always

792
00:26:23,301 --> 00:26:26,171
missing. And I want to make

793
00:26:26,171 --> 00:26:28,400
that point because it seems

794
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:28,707
that the people you really

795
00:26:28,707 --> 00:26:31,107
represent is the developer

796
00:26:31,310 --> 00:26:33,379
class. The people who were at

797
00:26:33,379 --> 00:26:36,379
that meeting last night. Spoke

798
00:26:37,551 --> 00:26:38,218
about the fact. That the

799
00:26:38,218 --> 00:26:40,618
development and the city's

800
00:26:40,621 --> 00:26:43,621
unbridled. And it is running

801
00:26:43,991 --> 00:26:46,391
wild. These developers, they

802
00:26:46,661 --> 00:26:50,261
come to you. Telling you what

803
00:26:50,465 --> 00:26:52,670
they want to do and it's done.

804
00:26:52,670 --> 00:26:52,768
A lot of times. It's done

805
00:26:52,768 --> 00:26:55,168
without the notification of

806
00:26:56,139 --> 00:26:57,307
the community. A lot of times

807
00:26:57,307 --> 00:27:00,307
it's done without the input.

808
00:27:00,943 --> 00:27:02,979
Community. So here's where the

809
00:27:02,979 --> 00:27:04,815
rubber meets the road either.

810
00:27:04,815 --> 00:27:07,815
You're going to continue. To

811
00:27:08,552 --> 00:27:09,219
do what you're doing. Putting

812
00:27:09,219 --> 00:27:12,157
profits before the needs of

813
00:27:12,157 --> 00:27:14,920
the people. All the people

814
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,920
will continue to organize. To

815
00:27:17,696 --> 00:27:20,696
see that it stops. Leonard

816
00:27:29,543 --> 00:27:33,143
also. Name is Leo Dawson. My

817
00:27:34,810 --> 00:27:37,520
address don't fall. Learn to

818
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,321
do good. See justice, correct

819
00:27:39,321 --> 00:27:41,721
oppression. Bring justice to

820
00:27:41,890 --> 00:27:44,326
the father. Does and peta

821
00:27:44,326 --> 00:27:47,926
calls the world. Want to see

822
00:27:48,980 --> 00:27:50,467
this. I've been married for 20

823
00:27:50,467 --> 00:27:52,235
years at all 20 years. I mean,

824
00:27:52,235 --> 00:27:53,237
if neighbor to mall, why, you

825
00:27:53,237 --> 00:27:56,837
know, faith for fall that I'm

826
00:27:57,141 --> 00:27:57,842
a family, all of And the

827
00:27:57,842 --> 00:27:59,610
reason why I was like that or

828
00:27:59,610 --> 00:28:02,610
the reason why didn't like

829
00:28:03,348 --> 00:28:04,820
first because I love GOD. And

830
00:28:04,820 --> 00:28:06,218
I love that. Love my wife. She

831
00:28:06,218 --> 00:28:08,687
was able for decade. Why not?

832
00:28:08,687 --> 00:28:12,392
No one heard. And I want to

833
00:28:12,392 --> 00:28:13,920
honor GOD my life. And as time

834
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,920
went on, the mindset shifted

835
00:28:16,363 --> 00:28:18,320
somewhat. Being famous, too.

836
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,632
So I think. What kind of

837
00:28:21,903 --> 00:28:24,903
legacy? Don't leave my kids.

838
00:28:28,743 --> 00:28:29,445
So my Lai. Working the thank

839
00:28:29,445 --> 00:28:31,913
you about what kind of legacy

840
00:28:31,913 --> 00:28:32,915
something for my kids. I want

841
00:28:32,915 --> 00:28:33,549
to be known that they did with

842
00:28:33,549 --> 00:28:34,683
the faithful to the mall.

843
00:28:34,683 --> 00:28:36,486
Didn't love GOD. It didn't

844
00:28:36,486 --> 00:28:37,920
love GOD's people. You know,

845
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,920
the meantime, my son. Some

846
00:28:41,158 --> 00:28:43,961
want to turn Joe for those.

847
00:28:43,961 --> 00:28:46,163
They help just to do this in.

848
00:28:46,163 --> 00:28:48,299
Whatever your plans, all. As

849
00:28:48,299 --> 00:28:49,000
you did is like I want you to

850
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,436
think what kind of legacy you

851
00:28:51,436 --> 00:28:52,204
leave him? We do kids. What

852
00:28:52,204 --> 00:28:55,507
can be said about your name

853
00:28:55,507 --> 00:28:56,375
when you've gone? Welcome to

854
00:28:56,375 --> 00:28:58,978
says you MAY have fit people

855
00:28:58,978 --> 00:29:01,378
along his journey. Sometimes

856
00:29:01,547 --> 00:29:03,650
people get caught up what they

857
00:29:03,650 --> 00:29:04,384
want. And while other people

858
00:29:04,384 --> 00:29:05,510
Pena's and if we get about the

859
00:29:05,510 --> 00:29:06,720
real pitches, begin to you.

860
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:07,854
It's about people. That's the

861
00:29:07,854 --> 00:29:10,854
mindset you need to start

862
00:29:11,159 --> 00:29:12,593
taking as a whole because what

863
00:29:12,593 --> 00:29:14,610
we have a bit accountable for.

864
00:29:14,610 --> 00:29:14,896
So I just want to start

865
00:29:14,896 --> 00:29:16,965
thinking what kind of legacy

866
00:29:16,965 --> 00:29:20,565
in my leaving if your legacy

867
00:29:20,735 --> 00:29:21,437
is not right now, it's a

868
00:29:21,437 --> 00:29:22,710
change you can change and now

869
00:29:22,710 --> 00:29:24,107
still alive. Still got a

870
00:29:24,107 --> 00:29:24,774
chance to change. So think

871
00:29:24,774 --> 00:29:26,776
about different this is all

872
00:29:26,776 --> 00:29:30,113
making you making in his life.

873
00:29:30,113 --> 00:29:30,747

876
00:29:32,750 --> 00:29:34,585
He do right by people on a guy

with his life can joke. He say

878
00:29:37,455 --> 00:29:38,189
that. Based on what you

879
00:29:38,189 --> 00:29:40,589
decision-making, how you move,

>> I'm not here argue tonight.

885
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,820
I'm here to say thank you to

886
00:30:01,820 --> 00:30:01,682
those of you that showed out

887
00:30:01,682 --> 00:30:02,317
and prove that they're

888
00:30:02,317 --> 00:30:04,717
interested in what we're

889
00:30:04,852 --> 00:30:05,553
trying to accomplish I have

890
00:30:05,553 --> 00:30:07,489
some people that did talk to

891
00:30:07,489 --> 00:30:09,491
me and offered to help with

892
00:30:09,491 --> 00:30:10,626
this situation. I have with

893
00:30:10,626 --> 00:30:13,280
that ditch and they called me

894
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:13,696
and let me know that they were

895
00:30:13,696 --> 00:30:15,164
trying to help me. At least

896
00:30:15,164 --> 00:30:18,134
they made no promise. But they

897
00:30:18,134 --> 00:30:18,968
said at least I would try. And

898
00:30:18,968 --> 00:30:20,771
those people that I go to

899
00:30:20,771 --> 00:30:22,138
several meetings and I see a

900
00:30:22,138 --> 00:30:24,141
couple of council people

901
00:30:24,141 --> 00:30:26,760
there. They're always there

902
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:27,645
and I can honestly say I

903
00:30:27,645 --> 00:30:30,450
appreciate those people. My

904
00:30:30,215 --> 00:30:32,985
thing is. Everybody have a

905
00:30:32,985 --> 00:30:35,385
conscious. Everybody know my

906
00:30:36,688 --> 00:30:38,524
story. But how many of you

907
00:30:38,524 --> 00:30:39,859
other one that I know of

908
00:30:39,859 --> 00:30:41,961
actually reached out to

909
00:30:41,961 --> 00:30:45,650
somebody to get some help. But

910
00:30:45,650 --> 00:30:45,799
what I'm going through. So,

911
00:30:45,799 --> 00:30:46,967
you know, like the man said, I

912
00:30:46,967 --> 00:30:49,604
do pray and I will overcome

913
00:30:49,604 --> 00:30:52,340
whatever's after me. But I do

914
00:30:52,340 --> 00:30:53,700
say that everybody did it

915
00:30:53,700 --> 00:30:54,142
approach this podium, some

916
00:30:54,142 --> 00:30:56,578
people you MAY not agree with

917
00:30:56,578 --> 00:30:57,379
and some you MAY agree with,

918
00:30:57,379 --> 00:31:01,784
but we all have a voice and we

919
00:31:01,784 --> 00:31:02,518
have a right to. Voice our

920
00:31:02,518 --> 00:31:05,518
opinions. We don't always like

921
00:31:05,821 --> 00:31:06,523
what you say. You always like

922
00:31:06,523 --> 00:31:09,392
what we say. But at least you

923
00:31:09,392 --> 00:31:11,195
should hear us and respect our

924
00:31:11,195 --> 00:31:11,895
opinion that those of you that

925
00:31:11,895 --> 00:31:16,950
offer to help and get help. I

926
00:31:18,350 --> 00:31:19,700
say thank you. Kudos to you.

get to Duval open for. And

965
00:33:10,561 --> 00:33:12,897
nothing has ever been done.

966
00:33:12,897 --> 00:33:16,497
Don't understand why it we are

968
00:33:21,239 --> 00:33:21,906

00:33:36,221 --> 00:33:38,825
bridge. Been a lot of killings

976
00:33:38,825 --> 00:33:39,725
around. There's nothing open

977
00:33:39,725 --> 00:33:42,362
close by, but we can dish. We

978
00:33:42,362 --> 00:33:45,962
loved to fish and we just

979
00:33:46,567 --> 00:33:47,434
don't understand. Thank you.

>> be heres my addresses on

989
00:34:09,725 --> 00:34:10,893
file. During this whole cba

990
00:34:10,893 --> 00:34:13,620
process. My group and the

991
00:34:13,620 --> 00:34:14,497
community spoke for reason

992
00:34:14,497 --> 00:34:17,167
that we wanted a model to be

993
00:34:17,167 --> 00:34:20,167
protected. We see the board

994
00:34:21,638 --> 00:34:24,380
members. Every board member

995
00:34:24,307 --> 00:34:25,777
except 2 is part of live The

996
00:34:25,777 --> 00:34:28,460
same thing we fought to get

997
00:34:28,460 --> 00:34:30,446
away week. We've PRESIDENT

998
00:34:31,249 --> 00:34:31,883
Care Co emails. Hey, we even

999
00:34:31,883 --> 00:34:32,584
stayed out of the process

1000
00:34:32,584 --> 00:34:36,184
because we didn't want it to

1001
00:34:36,721 --> 00:34:38,757
be partial. We didn't want to

1002
00:34:38,757 --> 00:34:39,858
be bias. Carroll Co can say

1003
00:34:39,858 --> 00:34:40,559
the mayor can't say that. We

1004
00:34:40,559 --> 00:34:43,620
reached out and said, hey, we

1005
00:34:43,620 --> 00:34:43,762
want you to pick those people.

1006
00:34:43,762 --> 00:34:45,297
Half of these people who want

1007
00:34:45,297 --> 00:34:47,330
to West Polk week, they got a

1008
00:34:47,330 --> 00:34:50,330
call from Travis Williams that

1009
00:34:50,670 --> 00:34:51,371
they won't abort. I'm sorry.

1010
00:34:51,371 --> 00:34:55,571
Is this not the same thing we

1011
00:34:55,643 --> 00:34:57,677
asked for was transparency to

1012
00:34:57,677 --> 00:34:59,914
be fair, we start the whole

1013
00:34:59,914 --> 00:35:01,883
board outside of MISTER Blair

1014
00:35:01,883 --> 00:35:02,583
Shrink, who was with Jackson

1015
00:35:02,583 --> 00:35:04,652
the letter. He does wonderful

1016
00:35:04,652 --> 00:35:05,853
things for the community. We

1017
00:35:05,853 --> 00:35:08,853
even have people No disrespect

1018
00:35:09,357 --> 00:35:09,992
cleaver that the black man

1019
00:35:09,992 --> 00:35:12,194
about to go get to sit in

1020
00:35:12,194 --> 00:35:12,861
orbit me. Because they don't

1021
00:35:12,861 --> 00:35:15,261
do not define neighborhood.

1022
00:35:17,650 --> 00:35:20,569
It. We have. Sean Ashley, who

1023
00:35:20,569 --> 00:35:21,303
is But you've got to go to

1024
00:35:21,303 --> 00:35:22,705
church east to be on the board

1025
00:35:22,705 --> 00:35:25,105
to make decisions. Now

1026
00:35:27,577 --> 00:35:29,977
actually hit. Resumes. A

1027
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,800
people who are living out

1028
00:35:33,830 --> 00:35:36,153
happen to people up all of

1029
00:35:36,153 --> 00:35:37,187
them Klevorn is the mentor to

1030
00:35:37,187 --> 00:35:39,190
Travis Williams, Jesus Christ.

1031
00:35:39,190 --> 00:35:40,910
Can we get away from these

1032
00:35:40,910 --> 00:35:40,792
developers or do we just have

1033
00:35:40,792 --> 00:35:42,494
eat what they do? We have to

1034
00:35:42,494 --> 00:35:45,494
sleep with them. At some

1035
00:35:46,231 --> 00:35:46,965
point. We'll 2 people. That

1036
00:35:46,965 --> 00:35:48,968
the Jameson told me he stepped

1037
00:35:48,968 --> 00:35:50,502
down from the board. He is the

1038
00:35:50,502 --> 00:35:51,804
east side. The mega see

1039
00:35:51,804 --> 00:35:54,804
member. But I guess the

1040
00:35:55,441 --> 00:35:56,142
object. I mean, I'm just fair

1041
00:35:56,142 --> 00:35:57,344
by these developers like them

1042
00:35:57,344 --> 00:36:00,944
and say nobody come in. Don't

1043
00:36:01,414 --> 00:36:02,415
want to be a process, Kim,

1044
00:36:02,415 --> 00:36:03,117
she's not even been living

1045
00:36:03,117 --> 00:36:06,530
decent enough time to even

1046
00:36:06,530 --> 00:36:06,753
have generational. Say so.

1047
00:36:06,753 --> 00:36:08,956
Know, when that move that who

1048
00:36:08,956 --> 00:36:09,624
went through these trials and

1049
00:36:09,624 --> 00:36:12,240
tribulations were even pick

1050
00:36:12,293 --> 00:36:14,195
for the board. I guess we're

1051
00:36:14,195 --> 00:36:16,298
not caviar at the right place.

1052
00:36:16,298 --> 00:36:18,399
Yes, we're not smoke in the

1053
00:36:18,399 --> 00:36:19,133

1054
00:36:19,133 --> 00:36:20,635
say you heard anything from to

1055
00:36:20,635 --> 00:36:22,838
get the east side about who we

1056
00:36:22,838 --> 00:36:25,541
want to see on the board. That

1057
00:36:25,541 --> 00:36:27,577
is how you make things better.

1058
00:36:27,577 --> 00:36:28,410
You have people submit

1059
00:36:28,410 --> 00:36:30,810
resumes. You submit the

1060
00:36:32,549 --> 00:36:35,549

falling back to stack date in

1065
00:36:45,797 --> 00:36:46,497
the community. Jesus, I mean,

1066
00:36:46,497 --> 00:36:48,566
do we win it by what we have

1067
00:36:48,566 --> 00:36:50,501
to do the fight to get it

1068
00:36:50,501 --> 00:36:51,102

1094
00:37:51,669 --> 00:37:55,173
that he got a lot going We

1095
00:37:55,173 --> 00:37:56,941

00:38:15,695 --> 00:38:16,362
not safe. Official. It's not

1104
00:38:16,362 --> 00:38:17,630

Names Leonard for its my

1168
00:41:23,501 --> 00:41:24,869
address is on file. First of

1169
00:41:24,869 --> 00:41:26,571
all, let me thank all of you

1170
00:41:26,571 --> 00:41:27,272
for the time you put in. I

1171
00:41:27,272 --> 00:41:27,972
know that there's a lot done

1172
00:41:27,972 --> 00:41:30,275
before this. A lot done after

1173
00:41:30,275 --> 00:41:30,976
it.

1174
00:41:30,976 --> 00:41:31,676
>> Yeah. Time and energy that

1175
00:41:31,676 --> 00:41:33,712
you put into doing this job.

1176
00:41:33,712 --> 00:41:35,781
So I thank you for that. Let

1177
00:41:35,781 --> 00:41:36,849
me use the Marine Corps

1178
00:41:36,849 --> 00:41:38,684
acronym here Bluff. I'm going

1179
00:41:38,684 --> 00:41:39,919
to give you the bottom line up

1180
00:41:39,919 --> 00:41:42,655
front. Okay. The bottom line

1181
00:41:42,655 --> 00:41:43,322
up front reason. I'm here to

1182
00:41:43,322 --> 00:41:43,990
talk to you about the Arab

1183
00:41:43,990 --> 00:41:45,625
American Heritage Month and

1184
00:41:45,625 --> 00:41:49,225
why that's in there. And I'm

1185
00:41:49,896 --> 00:41:53,167
just here to caution. You all

1186
00:41:53,167 --> 00:41:55,136
to not let that recognition

1187
00:41:55,136 --> 00:41:55,769
creep. They creeped so that it

1188
00:41:55,769 --> 00:41:58,169
becomes a fighting within

1189
00:42:01,409 --> 00:42:02,430
Sharia law. I say with some

1190
00:42:02,430 --> 00:42:04,443
background I have over 40

1191
00:42:06,148 --> 00:42:07,283
years of service. And I've

1192
00:42:07,283 --> 00:42:09,317
been to many Arab countries

1193
00:42:09,317 --> 00:42:10,510
and I've been around a lot of

1194
00:42:10,510 --> 00:42:10,720
Muslims. Okay. And I know how

1195
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:13,322
they work. And I know that

1196
00:42:13,322 --> 00:42:13,989
there are factions within the

1197
00:42:13,989 --> 00:42:16,389
Muslim community just like

1198
00:42:17,327 --> 00:42:17,961
there's factions of Christians

1199
00:42:17,961 --> 00:42:19,620
and there's good ones bad

1200
00:42:19,620 --> 00:42:21,462
ones. And the differentiation

1201
00:42:22,132 --> 00:42:22,866
between those is how really

1202
00:42:22,866 --> 00:42:26,466
the plea they are involved in

1203
00:42:27,137 --> 00:42:27,872
enforcing Sharia law. And so

1204
00:42:27,872 --> 00:42:29,840
that's something that you have

1205
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:30,541
to be aware of going forward

1206
00:42:30,541 --> 00:42:34,141
is making sure that we're not

1207
00:42:34,645 --> 00:42:37,115
creeping in that direction. So

1208
00:42:37,115 --> 00:42:40,715
I asked the going forward. To

1209
00:42:41,620 --> 00:42:42,287
be aware. As we go forward and

1210
00:42:42,287 --> 00:42:45,287
recognize the month that we

1211
00:42:45,925 --> 00:42:48,460
don't get that slow boiling of

1212
00:42:48,460 --> 00:42:49,128
the frog and before we know

1213
00:42:49,128 --> 00:42:51,731
it, we're in some situation

1214
00:42:51,731 --> 00:42:54,731
that looks a bit like

1215
00:42:56,636 --> 00:42:57,204
Minneapolis, Austin. So have

1216
00:42:57,204 --> 00:42:58,705
thank you, ladies and

1217
00:42:58,705 --> 00:42:59,406
gentlemen. Appreciate the

1218
00:42:59,406 --> 00:43:03,600
time. Thank u. Next up, some

1219
00:43:05,113 --> 00:43:06,547
the series.

1220
00:43:06,547 --> 00:43:08,947
>> Smith Series address on

1221
00:43:09,651 --> 00:43:11,620
file enough is enough. We are

1222
00:43:11,620 --> 00:43:13,688
tired of our politicians

1223
00:43:13,688 --> 00:43:14,757
putting their own interests

1224
00:43:14,757 --> 00:43:15,424
for monetary reasons and

1225
00:43:15,424 --> 00:43:17,424
corporations interests over

1226
00:43:18,661 --> 00:43:19,662
the interests of our city. We

1227
00:43:19,662 --> 00:43:21,764
are tired of being told that

1228
00:43:21,764 --> 00:43:22,498
so many people are moving to

1229
00:43:22,498 --> 00:43:23,833
Jacksonville. So we need build

1230
00:43:23,833 --> 00:43:26,369
out in these rural areas by

1231
00:43:26,369 --> 00:43:27,403
making 30 foot 40 foot. Lots.

1232
00:43:27,403 --> 00:43:28,538
If people are trying to move

1233
00:43:28,538 --> 00:43:30,390
to rural area, that usually

1234
00:43:30,390 --> 00:43:33,243
means they want to land not

1235
00:43:33,243 --> 00:43:36,179
living on a 0 lot line. That

1236
00:43:36,179 --> 00:43:37,381
is how people like to move.

1237
00:43:37,381 --> 00:43:40,351
You know, I understand that we

1238
00:43:40,351 --> 00:43:41,553
need to development.

1239
00:43:41,553 --> 00:43:43,553
Completely understand there

1240
00:43:44,455 --> 00:43:45,890
are plenty of places winning

1241
00:43:45,890 --> 00:43:47,458
Boulevard where there are

1242
00:43:47,458 --> 00:43:48,192
commercial spaces for sale

1243
00:43:48,192 --> 00:43:50,696
that a developer could buy and

1244
00:43:50,696 --> 00:43:51,797
create mixed use housing and

1245
00:43:51,797 --> 00:43:53,432
then you wouldn't have to

1246
00:43:53,432 --> 00:43:54,133
worry about this additional

1247
00:43:54,133 --> 00:43:57,133
strain on the communities are

1248
00:43:57,136 --> 00:43:57,837
that are further back where

1249
00:43:57,837 --> 00:43:59,839
they don't sidewalk to get to

1250
00:43:59,839 --> 00:44:01,541
their house. They don't have

1251
00:44:01,541 --> 00:44:03,409
any transit to get there. They

1252
00:44:03,409 --> 00:44:06,146
have nothing. But if you made

1253
00:44:06,146 --> 00:44:08,182
a mixed use house that is near

1254
00:44:08,182 --> 00:44:09,490
this community and if you

1255
00:44:09,490 --> 00:44:12,649
actually were able to have a

1256
00:44:12,787 --> 00:44:13,487
walkable area in that spot,

1257
00:44:13,487 --> 00:44:14,122
you know, that actually could

1258
00:44:14,122 --> 00:44:15,990
help the city that could

1259
00:44:15,990 --> 00:44:16,657
actually help people. You

1260
00:44:16,657 --> 00:44:19,657
know, they are proposing to

1261
00:44:20,940 --> 00:44:20,795
have these tiny homes. I mean,

1262
00:44:20,795 --> 00:44:22,297
not technically a tiny home,

1263
00:44:22,297 --> 00:44:23,732
but it feels like a tiny home

1264
00:44:23,732 --> 00:44:24,433
because it's on a 30 foot lot

1265
00:44:24,433 --> 00:44:28,300
in a 0 lot line where you can

1266
00:44:28,300 --> 00:44:30,105
touch your neighbor and

1267
00:44:30,105 --> 00:44:31,400
they're proposing it $300,000

1268
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:32,875
$350,000. First of all, it's

1269
00:44:32,875 --> 00:44:35,875
not affordable. Second of all,

1270
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:38,882
who wants to buy 0 lot line

1271
00:44:38,882 --> 00:44:41,317
with no land for that much

1272
00:44:41,317 --> 00:44:42,852
money. I don't see anyone that

1273
00:44:42,852 --> 00:44:44,154
would want that. And that's

1274
00:44:44,154 --> 00:44:45,890
why when these communities get

1275
00:44:45,890 --> 00:44:46,657
billed and they start for

1276
00:44:46,657 --> 00:44:47,958
sale, they end up rentals and

1277
00:44:47,958 --> 00:44:50,358
they're owned by corporations

1278
00:44:52,964 --> 00:44:53,798
and they have a constant.

1279
00:44:53,798 --> 00:44:55,767
Battle between the residents

1280
00:44:55,767 --> 00:44:56,501
and the people who live in the

1281
00:44:56,501 --> 00:44:57,335
neighborhood because, you

1282
00:44:57,335 --> 00:44:59,735
know, the neighborhood didn't

1283
00:45:01,106 --> 00:45:02,740
want it, but you all pass it

1284
00:45:02,740 --> 00:45:04,844
and they then have nowhere to

1285
00:45:04,844 --> 00:45:06,912
go runing there, property

1286
00:45:06,912 --> 00:45:08,247
values or increasing them so

1287
00:45:08,247 --> 00:45:09,115
much that they can't afford

1288
00:45:09,115 --> 00:45:10,816
the taxes. So you're pushing

1289
00:45:10,816 --> 00:45:13,219
people out that lived there

1290
00:45:13,219 --> 00:45:15,589
and no longer can afford it or

1291
00:45:15,589 --> 00:45:17,989
you're putting people there

1292
00:45:18,292 --> 00:45:19,493
that cannot pay $350,000 for

1293
00:45:19,493 --> 00:45:21,428
no land and then expect them

1294
00:45:21,428 --> 00:45:24,198
to just deal with it. People

1295
00:45:24,198 --> 00:45:26,000
don't buy those houses. There

1296
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,400
are empty communities because

1297
00:45:28,636 --> 00:45:29,304
of that. And then they become

1298
00:45:29,304 --> 00:45:31,206
rental communities. And we

1299
00:45:31,206 --> 00:45:33,141
have 51% of our residents that

1300
00:45:33,141 --> 00:45:33,942
rent. I thought you all wanted

1301
00:45:33,942 --> 00:45:35,277
people to buy homes about you

1302
00:45:35,277 --> 00:45:38,277
wanted people to afford homes.

1303
00:45:39,515 --> 00:45:41,450
That's not the way to do it.

1304
00:45:41,450 --> 00:45:42,185
It's difficult to come up with

1305
00:45:42,185 --> 00:45:43,653
creative solutions. But I know

1306
00:45:43,653 --> 00:45:44,553
that some of you want mixed

1307
00:45:44,553 --> 00:45:46,723

1396

They work every night. Back a

1403
00:50:57,527 --> 00:51:01,127
month ago, month and a half

1404
00:51:02,333 --> 00:51:04,602
ago. There was 3400. Water

1405
00:51:04,602 --> 00:51:07,200
lines busted. In Jacksonville,

1406
00:51:09,607 --> 00:51:12,700
Florida. On members worked 16

1407
00:51:13,611 --> 00:51:16,948
hours a day. And got those

1408
00:51:16,948 --> 00:51:18,948
3400 lines fixed. About 10

1409
00:51:19,851 --> 00:51:22,187
days. That's a hero. They got

1410
00:51:22,187 --> 00:51:24,890
your water bat. They got the

1411
00:51:24,890 --> 00:51:27,890
sewer water bat. They got

1412
00:51:28,394 --> 00:51:30,794
everything running. But where

1413
00:51:31,997 --> 00:51:32,731
we're at right now with is

1414
00:51:32,731 --> 00:51:34,200
where at a standstill we're in

1415
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,600

1416
00:51:43,610 --> 00:51:45,879

1417
00:51:45,879 --> 00:51:47,881
declared impasse. And we're

1418
00:51:47,881 --> 00:51:49,116
now at a point going to the

1419
00:51:49,116 --> 00:51:50,551
special magistrate. That's the

1420
00:51:50,551 --> 00:51:51,218
only reason I can still be up

And I hope that Jay, a will

1427
00:52:08,503 --> 00:52:10,973
look in and think about this

1428
00:52:10,973 --> 00:52:13,373
and take into consideration.

1429
00:52:13,542 --> 00:52:16,542
What the employees do. For

1430
00:52:18,581 --> 00:52:19,348
this city. Also. Because they

1431
00:52:19,348 --> 00:52:21,748
wore 12, 16 hours a day

1432
00:52:24,186 --> 00:52:24,888

1434
00:52:27,157 --> 00:52:29,926
row to get this fixed. To do

1435
00:52:29,926 --> 00:52:32,328
whatever it takes. And we're

1436
00:52:32,328 --> 00:52:33,930
going to be coming to you. And

1437
00:52:33,930 --> 00:52:36,930
what we're asking for is

1438
00:52:38,602 --> 00:52:39,703
nothing. Out of the ordinary.

1439
00:52:39,703 --> 00:52:41,305
We've said we would take the 3

1440
00:52:41,305 --> 00:52:44,905
and a half percent. But in

1441
00:52:45,900 --> 00:52:47,409
2000 and 5, there was a $0.35

1442
00:52:48,613 --> 00:52:50,648

1443
00:52:50,648 --> 00:52:53,480

The people, it represents me.

The people that were working

1449
00:53:09,935 --> 00:53:11,700
on these 3400 lines make less

1450
00:53:11,700 --> 00:53:14,700
than on the electric side.

1451
00:53:14,140 --> 00:53:15,341

1490
00:54:33,759 --> 00:54:35,728
for yourself. You schedule

1491
00:54:35,728 --> 00:54:36,428
committee meetings in the

1492
00:54:36,428 --> 00:54:38,496
middle of the day. All knew

1493
00:54:38,496 --> 00:54:40,232
and travel on attendance is

1494
00:54:40,232 --> 00:54:40,899
difficult. It seems to me this

1495
00:54:40,899 --> 00:54:43,235
is simply another park that

1496
00:54:43,235 --> 00:54:45,938
you want to add on to the many

1497
00:54:45,938 --> 00:54:46,905
that you pay for my parking.

1498
00:54:46,905 --> 00:54:48,374
You don't. Many of you have

1499
00:54:48,374 --> 00:54:51,374
chauffeurs sort of thing. Can

1500
00:54:51,577 --> 00:54:53,450
please consider? Please

1501
00:54:53,450 --> 00:54:55,445
consider that every single

1502
00:54:56,650 --> 00:54:57,317
dime that you send out is a

1503
00:54:57,317 --> 00:55:00,720
tax on the back of the men,

1504
00:55:00,720 --> 00:55:02,556
women and children. Of the

1505
00:55:02,556 --> 00:55:04,525
city who going to be denied

1506
00:55:04,525 --> 00:55:06,293
>> services.

1507
00:55:06,293 --> 00:55:09,293
>> I'd also like to say

1508
00:55:09,630 --> 00:55:10,965
regarding one 50.

1509
00:55:10,965 --> 00:55:11,666
>> Adam Smith, who some of you

1510
00:55:11,666 --> 00:55:14,200
MAY have heard of considered

1511
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:16,402
father of modern capitalism

1512
00:55:17,720 --> 00:55:18,139
said rarely a man of substance

1513
00:55:18,139 --> 00:55:19,875
and power gathered together.

1514
00:55:19,875 --> 00:55:21,677
But conspiracy against them

1515
00:55:21,677 --> 00:55:24,770
public is not formed.

1516
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:25,180
Encourage you looked

1517
00:55:25,180 --> 00:55:28,150
especially some of those you

1518
00:55:28,150 --> 00:55:29,685
sitting here today who are at

1519
00:55:29,685 --> 00:55:32,685
least alleged to have done

1520
00:55:33,589 --> 00:55:35,191
exactly that sort of thing.

1521
00:55:35,191 --> 00:55:35,858
The company that one 50, a top

1522
00:55:35,858 --> 00:55:39,290
eyes to was formed only in

1523
00:55:39,290 --> 00:55:39,996
AUGUST. And we're going to

1524
00:55:39,996 --> 00:55:42,996
give them 5 million dollars in

1525
00:55:43,667 --> 00:55:44,701
a few short weeks. This

1526
00:55:44,701 --> 00:55:46,637
company is truly owned by this

1527
00:55:46,637 --> 00:55:48,405
score. They have a current

1528
00:55:48,405 --> 00:55:50,405
capitalization release a

1529
00:55:51,875 --> 00:55:53,911
portfolio value of 35 billion

1530
00:55:53,911 --> 00:55:55,212
dollars if they can't make a

1531
00:55:55,212 --> 00:55:55,846
business work on its own

1532
00:55:55,846 --> 00:55:58,682
without $5 on the back of

1533
00:55:58,682 --> 00:55:59,817
every man, woman, child in

1534
00:55:59,817 --> 00:56:01,519
this city, then perhaps they

1535
00:56:01,519 --> 00:56:02,353
shouldn't be opening that

1536
00:56:02,353 --> 00:56:05,953
business. And if they can do

1537
00:56:06,858 --> 00:56:07,826
it without taxing all of us.

1538
00:56:07,826 --> 00:56:09,395
Then maybe they should move

1539
00:56:09,395 --> 00:56:12,395
forward under their own money

1540
00:56:13,199 --> 00:56:14,499
and with their own money. This

1541
00:56:14,499 --> 00:56:16,202
corporate welfare is dragging

1542
00:56:16,202 --> 00:56:20,402
down this city in a way that

1543
00:56:20,506 --> 00:56:21,207
everything else has not. And

1544
00:56:21,207 --> 00:56:22,508
it is probably behind some of

1545
00:56:22,508 --> 00:56:24,908
the misbehavior. That we've

1546
00:56:25,111 --> 00:56:28,111
been reading about. Be a

1547
00:56:32,619 --> 00:56:33,586
colder.

1548
00:56:33,586 --> 00:56:36,560
>> My name is Bobby o'Connor.

1549
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,560
My addresses on file. In

1550
00:56:40,610 --> 00:56:40,728
January of last year. Take em

1551
00:56:40,728 --> 00:56:43,728
down Jax pulled together a

1552
00:56:44,364 --> 00:56:45,566
group of people and we formed

1553
00:56:45,566 --> 00:56:47,966
a coalition called interrupt

1554
00:56:48,168 --> 00:56:50,568
Redlining Coalition. And we've

1555
00:56:51,506 --> 00:56:53,508
been working since then. We

1556
00:56:53,508 --> 00:56:54,375
came to know, as we did the

1557
00:56:54,375 --> 00:56:56,845
work and I'm sure that most of

1558
00:56:56,845 --> 00:56:59,982
you all know what redlining is

1559
00:56:59,982 --> 00:57:00,949
that that things that were

1560
00:57:00,949 --> 00:57:01,750
happening in redlined

1561
00:57:01,750 --> 00:57:02,551
neighborhoods who are also

1562
00:57:02,551 --> 00:57:03,252
happening in other

1563
00:57:03,252 --> 00:57:04,920
neighborhoods. In fact, most

1564
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,920
of the neighborhoods and his

1565
00:57:08,858 --> 00:57:09,492
other people spoken. Sometimes

1566
00:57:09,492 --> 00:57:10,159
a city council seems more

1567
00:57:10,159 --> 00:57:12,559
interested in the developer

1568
00:57:13,195 --> 00:57:14,998
and the money and they are in

1569
00:57:14,998 --> 00:57:15,665
the citizens. So I just want

1570
00:57:15,665 --> 00:57:18,402
you all to know that we've

1571
00:57:18,402 --> 00:57:19,102
been working really hard. And

1572
00:57:19,102 --> 00:57:20,537
his son was already mentioned

1573
00:57:20,537 --> 00:57:23,139
last night. We had a town hall

1574
00:57:23,139 --> 00:57:25,539
meeting. There were 101 folks

1575
00:57:25,976 --> 00:57:27,344
there. A lot of good energy.

1576
00:57:27,344 --> 00:57:27,911
We've been working with

1577
00:57:27,911 --> 00:57:29,911
Councilmember Johnson

1578
00:57:30,180 --> 00:57:32,250
collaborating with him to

1579
00:57:32,250 --> 00:57:33,830
create a neighborhood Bill of

1580
00:57:33,830 --> 00:57:35,320
rights. You know that there

1581
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:37,220
was a 1995 Bill of Rights

1582
00:57:37,220 --> 00:57:39,422
neighborhood. Bill writes, it

1583
00:57:39,858 --> 00:57:42,127
has not been sufficient that

1584
00:57:42,127 --> 00:57:44,960
Bill of Rights needs to be

1585
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:44,830
updated. And in terms of you

1586
00:57:44,830 --> 00:57:49,300
all, I just want to say a

1587
00:57:49,334 --> 00:57:49,968
special word of thanks to

1588
00:57:49,968 --> 00:57:50,602
Councilmember Johnson and

1589
00:57:50,602 --> 00:57:52,438
council member of the who

1590
00:57:52,438 --> 00:57:53,272
showed up last night. Came to

1591
00:57:53,272 --> 00:57:55,574
the city hall and into the

1592
00:57:55,574 --> 00:57:56,242
city town hall meeting in

1593
00:57:56,242 --> 00:57:59,242
order to hear what citizens

1594
00:58:02,182 --> 00:58:02,882
had to say. I think it was in

1595
00:58:02,882 --> 00:58:04,350
FEBRUARY have to go back and

1596
00:58:04,350 --> 00:58:07,620
look at my notes. But I sent

1597
00:58:07,620 --> 00:58:08,288
every one of you an email and

1598
00:58:08,288 --> 00:58:10,323
called every one of you and

1599
00:58:10,323 --> 00:58:11,524
ask would you please meet with

1600
00:58:11,524 --> 00:58:15,295
us and let us talk to you

1601
00:58:15,295 --> 00:58:15,997
about this issue. Matt

1602
00:58:15,997 --> 00:58:18,832
Carlucci met with us. You me.

1603
00:58:18,832 --> 00:58:21,832
Met with us and Councilmember

1604
00:58:23,638 --> 00:58:25,406
Johnson met with us. Others of

1605
00:58:25,406 --> 00:58:26,608
you did call and say, well, we

1606
00:58:26,608 --> 00:58:29,100
can't do this right now. We're

1607
00:58:29,100 --> 00:58:29,644
busy. We have a lot on plate.

1608
00:58:29,644 --> 00:58:31,680
We need everything to be

1609
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:32,814
completely done before. We can

1610
00:58:32,814 --> 00:58:35,484
see it. And some of you did

1611
00:58:35,484 --> 00:58:37,786
not even respond to the e-mail

1612
00:58:37,786 --> 00:58:41,986
are to the phone call. I wish

1613
00:58:42,859 --> 00:58:43,526
that. Mean, I don't know. Do

1614
00:58:43,526 --> 00:58:46,526
y'all have rules about ifs,

1615
00:58:46,795 --> 00:58:48,970
folks? It is an email. You are

1616
00:58:48,970 --> 00:58:50,133
you do you feel compelled to

1617
00:58:50,133 --> 00:58:51,668
respond in some way or at

1618
00:58:51,668 --> 00:58:52,402
least acknowledge that you've

1619
00:58:52,402 --> 00:58:54,404
got the e-mail or phone

1620
00:58:54,404 --> 00:58:56,306
message was left on your

1621
00:58:56,306 --> 00:58:57,907
phone. I don't know what that

1622
00:58:57,907 --> 00:58:59,910
ruling is. But there were a

1623
00:58:59,910 --> 00:59:02,245
number of you that I got no

1624
00:59:02,245 --> 00:59:02,913
response from. And last last

1625
00:59:02,913 --> 00:59:05,315
week, every one of you were

1626
00:59:05,315 --> 00:59:07,285
sent a flyer inviting you to

1627
00:59:07,285 --> 00:59:07,985
come to this town hall meeting

1628
00:59:07,985 --> 00:59:10,385
and I'm really disappointed.

1629
00:59:11,256 --> 00:59:12,223
You weren't there. And I also

1630
00:59:12,223 --> 00:59:13,758
want to say, please listen to

1631
00:59:13,758 --> 00:59:14,726
this good woman who shows up

1632
00:59:14,726 --> 00:59:17,362
every council meeting to ask

1633
00:59:17,362 --> 00:59:20,766
you to please don't let the

1634
00:59:20,766 --> 00:59:21,433
rates change almost double on

1635
00:59:21,433 --> 00:59:24,433
the on the rideshare. Just

1636
00:59:24,970 --> 00:59:27,105
don't do that. Don't do that.

1637
00:59:27,105 --> 00:59:28,140
Please use the money that you

1638
00:59:28,140 --> 00:59:28,874
are giving jta. There's got to

1639
00:59:28,874 --> 00:59:32,611
be a way that you can do that.

1640
00:59:32,611 --> 00:59:34,346
I don't know the solution, but

1641
00:59:34,346 --> 00:59:35,548
you are smart men and women.

1642
00:59:35,548 --> 00:59:36,282
Please find a solution.

1643
00:59:36,282 --> 00:59:37,483
O'Connor. Councilmember police

1644
00:59:37,483 --> 00:59:38,151

there. I'm sorry. So couple of

1652
00:59:53,334 --> 00:59:54,168
things I want to just touch on

1653
00:59:54,168 --> 00:59:58,368
before we get to the meat of

1654
01:00:00,274 --> 01:00:01,176
the issue, one. Seconded on

1655
01:00:01,176 --> 01:00:03,176
the whole.

1656
01:00:03,511 --> 01:00:04,278
>> a corporation should

1657
01:00:04,278 --> 01:00:04,980
require 5 million dollars

1658
01:00:04,980 --> 01:00:05,613
open. Seconded on the whole.

1659
01:00:05,613 --> 01:00:08,130
Don't double the rates.

1660
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,416
Seconded on the whole.

1661
01:00:10,585 --> 01:00:11,190
>> Please listen. Your

constituents.

1663

>> And I was present at that

1664
01:00:13,422 --> 01:00:14,890
meeting last night. It was

1665
01:00:14,890 --> 01:00:17,689
right. There's a lot of fun

1666
01:00:18,361 --> 01:00:21,300
you in there. Some of you My

1667
01:00:21,300 --> 01:00:22,310
big issue today. Once again,

flock cameras, they're all

1669
01:00:23,666 --> 01:00:25,735
over the place. I still have

1670
01:00:25,735 --> 01:00:26,969
so many of them in my

1671
01:00:26,969 --> 01:00:29,969
neighborhood. And I know that

1672
01:00:31,140 --> 01:00:32,308
it's a lot of work to. Police

1673
01:00:32,308 --> 01:00:33,877
that to write it. I emailed

1674
01:00:33,877 --> 01:00:34,578
some of you actually got a

1675
01:00:34,578 --> 01:00:37,578
response within an hour from

1676
01:00:37,581 --> 01:00:38,248
Cannes tomorrow. Great job

1677
01:00:38,248 --> 01:00:40,584
asking for more information

1678
01:00:40,584 --> 01:00:41,518
which are provided. I know

1679
01:00:41,518 --> 01:00:42,186
it's a lot of work write an

1680
01:00:42,186 --> 01:00:45,186
ordinance. So I wrote 2 of

1681
01:00:46,557 --> 01:00:48,226
them. I didn't make copies

1682
01:00:48,226 --> 01:00:48,960
because I assume at most one

1683
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:50,662
of Hughes going to read it and

1684
01:00:50,662 --> 01:00:53,531
it's probably give a blue

1685
01:00:53,531 --> 01:00:55,867
cell. But I will give this to

1686
01:00:55,867 --> 01:00:57,603
the page. I have 2 options

1687
01:00:57,603 --> 01:00:58,270
here. One to protecting law

1688
01:00:58,270 --> 01:00:59,400
enforcement, constitutional

1689
01:00:59,400 --> 01:00:59,705
rights and local control

1690
01:00:59,705 --> 01:01:01,873
ordinance. This one is based

1691
01:01:01,873 --> 01:01:02,774
off of the Hernando County

1692
01:01:02,774 --> 01:01:05,110
Ordinance just regulating how

1693
01:01:05,110 --> 01:01:08,314
alpr is work, how their data

1694
01:01:08,314 --> 01:01:10,216
should be sold to people just

1695
01:01:10,216 --> 01:01:13,850
giving the city council the

1696
01:01:13,850 --> 01:01:13,753
jurisdiction to say, hey, here

1697
01:01:13,753 --> 01:01:16,753
are the flock cameras that

1698
01:01:17,900 --> 01:01:19,590
exist. Here is where they are.

1699
01:01:19,590 --> 01:01:20,994
And it's not legal to sell

1700
01:01:20,994 --> 01:01:22,830
that information. This one, I

1701
01:01:22,830 --> 01:01:23,597
like a lot more. The freeing

1702
01:01:23,597 --> 01:01:24,898
local organizations from

1703
01:01:24,898 --> 01:01:25,933
camera cac a stock or c

1704
01:01:25,933 --> 01:01:27,701
ordinance. I just thought that

1705
01:01:27,701 --> 01:01:30,701
was funny. I'll be honest.

1706
01:01:31,438 --> 01:01:32,539
This one says they're illegal

1707
01:01:32,539 --> 01:01:33,307
and I'm giving both of these

1708
01:01:33,307 --> 01:01:36,907
to you obviously for you do

1709
01:01:37,412 --> 01:01:38,790
this one you have the

1710
01:01:38,790 --> 01:01:39,714
opportunity to pass the one

1711
01:01:39,714 --> 01:01:42,714
that gives you guys clear

1712
01:01:43,785 --> 01:01:47,385
control. But if I get into

1713
01:01:47,790 --> 01:01:48,356
office, I'm passing this on.

1714
01:01:48,356 --> 01:01:50,559
So you guys have the

1715
01:01:50,559 --> 01:01:52,762
opportunity now to say, hey,

1716
01:01:52,762 --> 01:01:55,762
these cameras are a concern.

1717
01:01:55,898 --> 01:01:57,132
Tracking our citizens is a

1718
01:01:57,132 --> 01:01:57,866
concern. The people that say,

1719
01:01:57,866 --> 01:01:59,969
hey, we don't want this, we do

1720
01:01:59,969 --> 01:02:01,137
care about that. I've written

1721
01:02:01,137 --> 01:02:02,739
the ordinance is for you. I've

1722
01:02:02,739 --> 01:02:06,176
done the work. You can just

1723
01:02:06,176 --> 01:02:07,577
pass it. Now. I know it goes

1724
01:02:07,577 --> 01:02:08,311
through a lot more work than

1725
01:02:08,311 --> 01:02:10,711
that. Obviously. But, you

1726
01:02:11,215 --> 01:02:12,282
know, I thought I'd get in

1727
01:02:12,282 --> 01:02:14,585
some practice. So here are

1728
01:02:14,585 --> 01:02:15,453
these. I'm going to give them

1729
01:02:15,453 --> 01:02:16,153
to you. I'm going to e-mail

1730
01:02:16,153 --> 01:02:16,887
them to you so that you also

1731
01:02:16,887 --> 01:02:19,257
have them and can edit them at

1732
01:02:19,257 --> 01:02:19,857
your leisure. I want you to

1733
01:02:19,857 --> 01:02:22,857
know I've done the work

1734
01:02:23,294 --> 01:02:25,864
already. You guys have the

1735
01:02:25,864 --> 01:02:26,598
opportunity to do something

1736
01:02:26,598 --> 01:02:28,599
that is going to be a hit with

1737
01:02:28,599 --> 01:02:29,301
just about everybody. And you

1738
01:02:29,301 --> 01:02:31,701
have that opportunity couple

1739
01:02:32,871 --> 01:02:33,805
of times. I beg you to do it.

1740
01:02:33,805 --> 01:02:37,405
I bet you to please listen.

1741
01:02:37,576 --> 01:02:38,677
Your constituents overall,

1742
01:02:38,677 --> 01:02:39,211
please stop building marks and

1743
01:02:39,211 --> 01:02:39,912
things and redlined

1744
01:02:39,912 --> 01:02:41,912
neighborhoods that shouldn't

1745
01:02:43,116 --> 01:02:46,116
be there. Regulate. Thank you

1746
01:02:58,298 --> 01:03:00,267
like Harper.

1747
01:03:00,267 --> 01:03:00,968
Blake, Harper

1748
01:03:00,968 --> 01:03:01,668
information on file tonight.

1749
01:03:01,668 --> 01:03:04,205
We're going to talk about the

1750
01:03:04,205 --> 01:03:05,406
First Amendment.

1751
01:03:05,406 --> 01:03:07,806
>> Since 2010 have been coming

1752
01:03:08,275 --> 01:03:08,942
down to advocate for the

1753
01:03:08,942 --> 01:03:10,942
Constitution and Christian

1754
01:03:12,580 --> 01:03:13,247
principles which it's built.

1755
01:03:13,247 --> 01:03:13,914
That means that the bill of

1756
01:03:13,914 --> 01:03:16,914
rights of first second 3rd,

1757
01:03:17,452 --> 01:03:19,852
4003th Amendment so forth.

1758
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:22,624
When Aaron Bowman put up piece

1759
01:03:22,624 --> 01:03:24,624
of legislation, 2 sensor

1760
01:03:28,163 --> 01:03:30,563
prayer. I fought that 17

1761
01:03:32,868 --> 01:03:33,936
pastors came down to speak.

1762
01:03:33,936 --> 01:03:35,370
Why finds would find some of

1763
01:03:35,370 --> 01:03:35,672
those prayers offensive. They

1764
01:03:35,672 --> 01:03:37,807
have the right under the

1765
01:03:37,807 --> 01:03:40,760
Constitution. To speak, to say

1766
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:42,246
those prayers. The thing that

1767
01:03:42,246 --> 01:03:45,846
makes unique and makes us such

1768
01:03:46,316 --> 01:03:48,352
a great nation is that no man

1769
01:03:48,352 --> 01:03:49,860
or woman can take those rights

1770
01:03:49,860 --> 01:03:52,686
away from us because those are

1771
01:03:54,492 --> 01:03:55,193
given to us by GOD. When

1772
01:03:55,193 --> 01:03:55,860
they're distraught. When the

1773
01:03:55,860 --> 01:03:58,229
hate crime bill came up. I

1774
01:03:58,229 --> 01:04:00,398
thought that. When the

1775
01:04:00,398 --> 01:04:03,398
disruption came came out. You

1776
01:04:04,350 --> 01:04:05,136
have that panel over there.

1777
01:04:05,136 --> 01:04:06,405
Because of the work I did

1778
01:04:06,405 --> 01:04:07,105
working with you all to get

1779
01:04:07,105 --> 01:04:08,773
something where people pushed

1780
01:04:08,773 --> 01:04:12,373
to stand up and show have

1781
01:04:14,847 --> 01:04:15,548
something to show. For 7

1782
01:04:15,548 --> 01:04:17,416
years. Ben Frazier would come

1783
01:04:17,416 --> 01:04:20,416
down and attack City Council

1784
01:04:21,190 --> 01:04:23,419
members. Michael Boylan got

1785
01:04:24,890 --> 01:04:25,792
the got the brunt of it and he

1786
01:04:25,792 --> 01:04:27,600
sat there and he took it and

1787
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:27,694
he was in many, many times

1788
01:04:27,694 --> 01:04:28,295
situations where he could

1789
01:04:28,295 --> 01:04:30,295
retaliate.

1790
01:04:31,998 --> 01:04:32,699
>> But he didn't because he

1791
01:04:32,699 --> 01:04:34,234
understands of the importance

1792
01:04:34,234 --> 01:04:35,669
of the First Amendment and the

1793
01:04:35,669 --> 01:04:38,669
rights that people have. For 7

1794
01:04:41,108 --> 01:04:45,279
years. But when I stand at t e

1795
01:04:45,279 --> 01:04:47,648
u document, the fact that the

1796
01:04:47,648 --> 01:04:48,583
Democrat Party is the party of

1797
01:04:48,583 --> 01:04:50,819
racism, that they're the party

1798
01:04:50,819 --> 01:04:53,819
of white supremacy going back

1799
01:04:55,123 --> 01:04:55,891
to compromise of 18. 77. My

1800
01:04:55,891 --> 01:04:57,225
First Amendment rights are

1801
01:04:57,225 --> 01:05:01,163
taken away from me by the vice

1802
01:05:01,163 --> 01:05:02,531
chair, Jacoby Pittman. It's

1803
01:05:02,531 --> 01:05:03,265
kind of interesting. Tyrone

1804
01:05:03,265 --> 01:05:03,933
partners, not here. She seemed

1805
01:05:03,933 --> 01:05:08,133
to think it was all all the

1806
01:05:09,672 --> 01:05:10,373
bomb. There's an easy way to

1807
01:05:10,373 --> 01:05:13,877
learn a lesson and there's a

1808
01:05:13,877 --> 01:05:14,611
hard way to learn a lesson. I

1809
01:05:14,611 --> 01:05:17,347
hope this the let lessons been

1810
01:05:17,347 --> 01:05:18,810
learned. Easy way this time.

1811
01:05:18,810 --> 01:05:20,684
Of our county school board did

1812
01:05:20,684 --> 01:05:24,255
not learn at the easy way.

1813
01:05:24,255 --> 01:05:25,220
They pay $560,000 in legal

1814
01:05:25,220 --> 01:05:25,723
fees because they violated

1815
01:05:25,723 --> 01:05:28,123
some buddies. First Amendment

1816
01:05:29,193 --> 01:05:29,860
rights.

1817
01:05:29,860 --> 01:05:33,460
>> You've got to want to do

1818
01:05:35,566 --> 01:05:36,233
that. Earlier lady said.

1819
01:05:36,233 --> 01:05:36,935
>> We you all need to hear

1820
01:05:36,935 --> 01:05:40,380
what we have to say. Whether

1821
01:05:40,380 --> 01:05:40,772
you like it or not. What I

1822
01:05:40,772 --> 01:05:44,442
stand up and I speak to you. I

1823
01:05:44,442 --> 01:05:45,100
speak you based on facts and

1824
01:05:45,100 --> 01:05:45,711
those facts destroy a

1825
01:05:45,711 --> 01:05:47,313
narrative that you hear over

1826
01:05:47,313 --> 01:05:48,470
and over again. The

1827
01:05:48,470 --> 01:05:51,117
consequence has been to try to

1828
01:05:51,117 --> 01:05:52,384
shut that up. I'm not going to

1829
01:05:52,384 --> 01:05:53,190
shut up and we I'm going to

1830
01:05:53,190 --> 01:05:55,419
keep speaking about those

1831
01:05:55,821 --> 01:05:57,957
facts. I have the right to do

1832
01:05:57,957 --> 01:05:58,557
that here. And I will.

1833
01:05:58,557 --> 01:06:00,957
>> Next up, Nancy Marie

1834
01:06:08,802 --> 01:06:09,369
Settle. And then Denise Cook.

1835
01:06:09,369 --> 01:06:10,871
>> Nancy Marie Settle

1836
01:06:10,871 --> 01:06:13,873
addresses on file. I was at

1837
01:06:13,873 --> 01:06:16,643
the town Hall for neighborhood

1838
01:06:16,643 --> 01:06:17,770
Bill of Rights last night and

1839
01:06:17,770 --> 01:06:19,770
it was really

1840
01:06:19,479 --> 01:06:20,313
>> energizing and wonderful.

1841
01:06:20,313 --> 01:06:23,313
>> I'm thinking of making a

1842
01:06:24,786 --> 01:06:25,486
movie about it. 101 citizens

1843
01:06:25,486 --> 01:06:27,888
and then villain is going to

1844
01:06:27,888 --> 01:06:29,890
be Cruella De j. Ville City

1845
01:06:29,890 --> 01:06:31,526
Council because you guys just

1846
01:06:31,526 --> 01:06:34,729
don't seem to listen to the

1847
01:06:34,729 --> 01:06:35,797
101 citizens that were there.

1848
01:06:35,797 --> 01:06:38,797
Cities are built for people

1849
01:06:39,767 --> 01:06:40,669
not for profit neighborhoods,

1850
01:06:40,669 --> 01:06:43,720
define the quality of the city

1851
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:44,390
where we work, where we live

1852
01:06:44,390 --> 01:06:47,876
or replay. It is the heart and

1853
01:06:47,876 --> 01:06:48,610
soul of our city and we live

1854
01:06:48,610 --> 01:06:50,110
in community with one another.

1855
01:06:50,110 --> 01:06:52,414
And we have to learn to get

1856
01:06:52,414 --> 01:06:53,115
along. And oftentimes that

1857
01:06:53,115 --> 01:06:55,684
doesn't happen. So that's why

1858
01:06:55,684 --> 01:06:56,318
we have rules and laws

1859
01:06:56,318 --> 01:06:58,120
defining expectations in

1860
01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:00,520
guiding behavior. We're bound

1861
01:07:03,392 --> 01:07:05,995
by the land use. We have rules

1862
01:07:05,995 --> 01:07:06,729
and laws about how to use

1863
01:07:06,729 --> 01:07:09,299
property that we might own. If

1864
01:07:09,299 --> 01:07:11,601
we're lucky enough. And we are

1865
01:07:11,601 --> 01:07:14,100
guided by the comprehensive

1866
01:07:14,304 --> 01:07:15,305
plan, zoning regulation,

1867
01:07:15,305 --> 01:07:16,339
design guidelines.

1868
01:07:16,339 --> 01:07:18,608
>> And if we are lucky enough

1869
01:07:18,608 --> 01:07:20,243
to be able to buy a piece of

1870
01:07:20,243 --> 01:07:22,345
property, we know what those

1871
01:07:22,345 --> 01:07:23,580
uses and restrictions and

1872
01:07:23,580 --> 01:07:25,382
guidelines are. I noticed that

1873
01:07:25,382 --> 01:07:26,516
when it comes to amending land

1874
01:07:26,516 --> 01:07:28,518
use that developers have a

1875
01:07:28,518 --> 01:07:30,918
larger voice in Jacksonville.

1876
01:07:32,924 --> 01:07:33,757
>> Then the citizens.

1877
01:07:33,757 --> 01:07:36,728
>> We have to. When we set up

1878
01:07:36,728 --> 01:07:38,930
these guidelines, we hire

1879
01:07:38,930 --> 01:07:40,731
people, intelligent, capable

1880
01:07:40,731 --> 01:07:43,731
educated people to make sure

1881
01:07:45,303 --> 01:07:46,204
that they architecture. Pete

1882
01:07:46,204 --> 01:07:48,600
architect, Architects,

1883
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:48,706
historical preservation as

1884
01:07:48,706 --> 01:07:49,574
urban planning and landscape

1885
01:07:49,574 --> 01:07:51,574
designers, environmental

1886
01:07:53,112 --> 01:07:53,846
impact biologists. We need to

1887
01:07:53,846 --> 01:07:57,283
listen to them when they make

1888
01:07:57,283 --> 01:07:59,683
recommendations and up line.

1889
01:08:01,420 --> 01:08:03,622
Their knowledge to land use.

1890
01:08:03,622 --> 01:08:05,230
Instead of listening to all of

1891
01:08:05,230 --> 01:08:07,560
these appeals and did not that

1892
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:09,395
from the Niles and then we

1893
01:08:09,395 --> 01:08:10,496
allow lawyers a couple of

1894
01:08:10,496 --> 01:08:11,230
lawyers in this city to

1895
01:08:11,230 --> 01:08:14,230
Control City Council on behalf

1896
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:15,135
of these developers. I think

1897
01:08:15,135 --> 01:08:15,802
people are really you can hear

1898
01:08:15,802 --> 01:08:19,402
it. People are tired of it.

1899
01:08:19,673 --> 01:08:20,373
People see it happening and

1900
01:08:20,373 --> 01:08:21,740
it's like we're getting it's

1901
01:08:21,740 --> 01:08:23,777
an issue I hear over and over

1902
01:08:23,777 --> 01:08:24,444
again. And city council. We

1903
01:08:24,444 --> 01:08:25,780
should be playing by the

1904
01:08:25,780 --> 01:08:27,478
rules. Everyone should be

1905
01:08:29,183 --> 01:08:30,170
playing by the rules. The

1906
01:08:30,170 --> 01:08:32,553
zoning is there for a

1907
01:08:32,553 --> 01:08:35,553
structure. We need to listen

1908
01:08:35,589 --> 01:08:36,357
to citizens. We need listen to

1909
01:08:36,357 --> 01:08:36,924
planning Council see packs and

1910
01:08:36,924 --> 01:08:38,924
most importantly, the

1911
01:08:41,395 --> 01:08:42,396
citizens. So that we need to

1912
01:08:42,396 --> 01:08:43,640
have council members who are

1913
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:46,640
not overriding the will of

1914
01:08:46,501 --> 01:08:47,202
these bodies in the people.

1915
01:08:47,202 --> 01:08:48,403
And when the cause. When that

1916
01:08:48,403 --> 01:08:49,137
happens, we mistrust

1917
01:08:49,137 --> 01:08:51,537
government. We suspect money's

1918
01:08:53,174 --> 01:08:54,476
been change. We suspect that.

1919
01:08:54,476 --> 01:08:55,177
Big favors are being called

1920
01:08:55,177 --> 01:08:58,177
out for redemption. My times

1921
01:08:58,413 --> 01:08:59,800
on south that please fix the

1922
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:00,982
dam bridge for these people

1923
01:09:00,982 --> 01:09:03,510
hear him come in over and

1924
01:09:03,510 --> 01:09:04,486
over. Fix the bridge It's a

1925
01:09:04,486 --> 01:09:05,154
really positive thing in our

1926
01:09:05,154 --> 01:09:07,554
community. And they've been

1927
01:09:08,524 --> 01:09:09,225
begging you for it.

1928
01:09:09,225 --> 01:09:11,961
>> Thank u. Next up is Denise

1929
01:09:11,961 --> 01:09:12,695
Cote in the 5 after that are

1930
01:09:12,695 --> 01:09:15,950
Anthony Brown, Addison Patrick

1931
01:09:15,431 --> 01:09:17,831
Jamie Travis Leonard and

1932
01:09:18,501 --> 01:09:19,202
Timothy Johnson, Ms Cook.

1933
01:09:19,202 --> 01:09:21,602
>> Dennis Cook, my addresses

1934
01:09:24,574 --> 01:09:26,209
on file. All my thunder has

1935
01:09:26,209 --> 01:09:26,909
been stolen tonight with all

1936
01:09:26,909 --> 01:09:29,309
the conversation. What I

1937
01:09:30,460 --> 01:09:31,748
wanted to say is I feel very

1938
01:09:31,748 --> 01:09:33,483
hopeful. You know, I've been

1939
01:09:33,483 --> 01:09:35,519
in in the streets of

1940
01:09:35,519 --> 01:09:38,519
Jacksonville for over a decade

1941
01:09:38,622 --> 01:09:39,323
participating with grassroots

1942
01:09:39,323 --> 01:09:39,990
organizations jumping through

1943
01:09:39,990 --> 01:09:41,925
any hoops that I could jump

1944
01:09:41,925 --> 01:09:43,761
through to try to make a

1945
01:09:43,761 --> 01:09:44,828
difference. Whether it was

1946
01:09:44,828 --> 01:09:46,363
cpac weather meeting with my

1947
01:09:46,363 --> 01:09:49,363
council person, whether it was

1948
01:09:50,601 --> 01:09:53,638
coming down here. Full of hope

1949
01:09:53,638 --> 01:09:54,306
because we have demonstrated

1950
01:09:54,306 --> 01:09:57,906
that there is a movement in

1951
01:09:59,177 --> 01:10:00,145
Jacksonville. 101 people is

1952
01:10:00,145 --> 01:10:00,879
nothing to sneeze at on a

1953
01:10:00,879 --> 01:10:03,879
Monday evening at 6 o'clock at

1954
01:10:04,850 --> 01:10:06,585
night. And those people

1955
01:10:06,585 --> 01:10:07,519
represented every part of

1956
01:10:07,519 --> 01:10:08,253
Jacksonville, not just the

1957
01:10:08,253 --> 01:10:11,253
underserved, not just the ones

1958
01:10:13,392 --> 01:10:14,159
we talk about. We had here.

1959
01:10:14,159 --> 01:10:16,396
You're a prominent zip code.

1960
01:10:16,396 --> 01:10:18,464
Your high income, zip codes

1961
01:10:18,464 --> 01:10:20,320
represented. We had low-income

1962
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:21,701
zip codes act represented. We

1963
01:10:21,701 --> 01:10:22,201
have Republicans. We had

1964
01:10:22,201 --> 01:10:24,201
Democrats. We had

1965
01:10:24,803 --> 01:10:26,803
libertarians. We had

1966
01:10:26,973 --> 01:10:29,800
independence. All of us were

1967
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:30,744
together for a common cause of

1968
01:10:30,744 --> 01:10:31,344
developing a neighborhood bill

1969
01:10:31,344 --> 01:10:32,440
of rights. Can put some

1970
01:10:32,440 --> 01:10:34,444
accountability and action in

1971
01:10:35,949 --> 01:10:36,683
2. Stopping some of the things

1972
01:10:36,683 --> 01:10:37,517
that have occurred in the last

1973
01:10:37,517 --> 01:10:40,621
few years. In regards to land

1974
01:10:40,621 --> 01:10:41,889
use and zoning. You know, why

1975
01:10:41,889 --> 01:10:43,757
do we want to pay 1.5 million

1976
01:10:43,757 --> 01:10:45,559
dollars for a liquor store?

1977
01:10:45,559 --> 01:10:46,260
We're talking about bridge

1978
01:10:46,260 --> 01:10:49,260
repair. That money could have

1979
01:10:50,298 --> 01:10:53,670
went towards that. We've got

1980
01:10:53,670 --> 01:10:55,369
to continue to work together.

1981
01:10:55,369 --> 01:10:56,103
I appreciate you all. I

1982
01:10:56,103 --> 01:10:58,506
offered to work with you every

1983
01:10:58,506 --> 01:10:59,540
time I come up here and speak,

1984
01:10:59,540 --> 01:11:01,142
I don't expect any one of us

1985
01:11:01,142 --> 01:11:04,742
to do this by ourselves. We're

1986
01:11:05,814 --> 01:11:06,514
a community where city. And

1987
01:11:06,514 --> 01:11:07,215
yes, there are things that we

1988
01:11:07,215 --> 01:11:09,170
don't understand things that

1989
01:11:09,170 --> 01:11:10,619
you have to go through, that

1990
01:11:10,619 --> 01:11:12,487
we MAY not be privy to, but

1991
01:11:12,487 --> 01:11:13,388
that's why talking to us on a

1992
01:11:13,388 --> 01:11:16,388
regular basis. But help us

1993
01:11:18,193 --> 01:11:19,294
educate the public. And help

1994
01:11:19,294 --> 01:11:19,996
you have and the your

1995
01:11:19,996 --> 01:11:22,396
constituents have a different

1996
01:11:23,332 --> 01:11:26,332
perspective of things. So I'll

1997
01:11:26,402 --> 01:11:29,720
continue to do this. And come

1998
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:30,974
and see you as often as I can.

1999
01:11:30,974 --> 01:11:31,641
And I'll continue to be in the

2000
01:11:31,641 --> 01:11:33,641
grassroots organizations. I

2001
01:11:33,710 --> 01:11:36,212
will continue to be a voice

2002
01:11:36,212 --> 01:11:38,470
for the people that I can be a

2003
01:11:38,470 --> 01:11:40,717
voice for. And I want to just

2004
01:11:40,717 --> 01:11:41,151
say to the people that are in

2005
01:11:41,151 --> 01:11:41,818
the audience.

2006
01:11:41,818 --> 01:11:44,218
>> We appreciate you coming

2007
01:11:45,856 --> 01:11:46,957
out every every month. There

2008
01:11:46,957 --> 01:11:47,658
are opportunities for to get

2009
01:11:47,658 --> 01:11:48,358
in there. Can you just threw

2010
01:11:48,358 --> 01:11:50,461
the body not turn around face

2011
01:11:50,461 --> 01:11:51,128
on place?

2012
01:11:51,128 --> 01:11:53,528
>> It's been the microphone

2013
01:11:56,367 --> 01:11:58,269
for the record.

2014
01:11:58,269 --> 01:11:59,804
>> I would like to invite all

2015
01:11:59,804 --> 01:12:00,471
of the communities that are

2016
01:12:00,471 --> 01:12:02,140
here and represented to the

2017
01:12:02,140 --> 01:12:04,175
town hall meeting that takes

2018
01:12:04,175 --> 01:12:06,978
place. The 3rd Thursday of

every month at 06:00pm at 14.

2020
01:12:08,646 --> 01:12:11,646
0, 5, State Street West. It is

2021
01:12:11,983 --> 01:12:14,820
a collaborative effort. And we

2022
01:12:14,820 --> 01:12:18,420
are not a partisan group. We

2023
01:12:18,657 --> 01:12:19,391
are trying to build. A bridge

2024
01:12:19,391 --> 01:12:22,391
and work in this city

2025
01:12:22,461 --> 01:12:24,461

addresses on file I guess I'm

2032
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:39,800

2041
01:13:01,669 --> 01:13:02,770
I feel like we should have

2042
01:13:02,770 --> 01:13:03,404
more representation at this

2043
01:13:03,404 --> 01:13:06,404
meeting. If you have not

2044
01:13:06,941 --> 01:13:07,608
heard, I'm pretty sure most of

2045
01:13:07,608 --> 01:13:11,312
you, if not all of you were

2046
01:13:11,312 --> 01:13:11,980
invited and notified. I was

2047
01:13:11,980 --> 01:13:14,380
pleasantly surprised at the

2048
01:13:14,582 --> 01:13:15,316
diversity of the meeting.

2049
01:13:15,316 --> 01:13:15,984
There were people from all

2050
01:13:15,984 --> 01:13:19,253
over the city that had a

2051
01:13:19,253 --> 01:13:19,888
number of different issues.

2052
01:13:19,888 --> 01:13:22,888
They seem to be extremely

2053
01:13:23,425 --> 01:13:24,920
neglect. It. But there is but

2054
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:27,920
9 to collect. That is being

2055
01:13:27,229 --> 01:13:29,629
practice here. And durkeeville

2056
01:13:32,801 --> 01:13:33,502
new 40 field, cetera, cetera.

2057
01:13:33,502 --> 01:13:35,204
And when you guys 2 years ago

2058
01:13:35,204 --> 01:13:37,339
passed that resolution, I

2059
01:13:37,339 --> 01:13:37,973
understand that it was an

2060
01:13:37,973 --> 01:13:39,973
acknowledgement, however,

2061
01:13:40,676 --> 01:13:41,477
didn't have a lot of teeth.

2062
01:13:41,477 --> 01:13:42,144
There were plenty of people

2063
01:13:42,144 --> 01:13:44,180
attended that meeting last

2064
01:13:44,180 --> 01:13:46,249
night that were done that. A

2065
01:13:46,249 --> 01:13:46,916
knowledgeable of the

2066
01:13:46,916 --> 01:13:49,316
resolution. There are many

2067
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:50,920
people who don't know that you

2068
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:53,320
guys have talked about

2069
01:13:54,691 --> 01:13:56,260
redlining. But they have yet

2070
01:13:56,260 --> 01:13:56,726
to see anything tangible in

2071
01:13:56,726 --> 01:13:59,629
terms of things that you are

2072
01:13:59,629 --> 01:14:02,900
doing to rectify. So I'm not

2073
01:14:02,900 --> 01:14:03,500
gonna stay up for too long.

2074
01:14:03,500 --> 01:14:05,900
But again, Denise could

2075
01:14:06,937 --> 01:14:07,671
mention our meeting. Some of

2076
01:14:07,671 --> 01:14:10,671
you have attended our meeting.

2077
01:14:10,975 --> 01:14:13,770
I think they are very

2078
01:14:13,770 --> 01:14:13,744
productive. We do have action

2079
01:14:13,744 --> 01:14:16,914
steps and we are trying to

2080
01:14:16,914 --> 01:14:17,615
work with the City council.

2081
01:14:17,615 --> 01:14:18,315
But when the city council is

2082
01:14:18,315 --> 01:14:19,500
not doing what he's supposed

2083
01:14:19,500 --> 01:14:21,819
to do, they will be called out

2084
01:14:21,819 --> 01:14:22,887
as they should. And many of

2085
01:14:22,887 --> 01:14:23,622
you know, you should have been

2086
01:14:23,622 --> 01:14:24,322
at the meeting last night. So

2087
01:14:24,322 --> 01:14:28,522
that's why some of you got to

2088
01:14:28,894 --> 01:14:29,794
head now looking crazy. Moving

2089
01:14:29,794 --> 01:14:30,329
forward. We would like to

2090
01:14:30,329 --> 01:14:30,929
continue a cordial

2091
01:14:30,929 --> 01:14:32,929
relationship with City

2092
01:14:34,733 --> 01:14:35,467
Council. Our meeting most of

2093
01:14:35,467 --> 01:14:38,870
the time as every 3rd Thursday

2094
01:14:38,870 --> 01:14:42,474
this week is on the 4th. Which

2095
01:14:42,474 --> 01:14:44,376
is 6 o'clock 14. 0, 5, State

2096
01:14:44,376 --> 01:14:45,578
Street West Pastor Leo Dawson

2097
01:14:45,578 --> 01:14:47,780
is the senior pastor. He spoke

2098
01:14:47,780 --> 01:14:49,782
eloquently earlier today. We

2099
01:14:49,782 --> 01:14:53,982
look forward to all of you are

2100
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:54,687
most of you attending. We want

2101
01:14:54,687 --> 01:14:55,388
to change the narrative in

2102
01:14:55,388 --> 01:14:58,988
this city. We no longer want

2103
01:14:59,920 --> 01:15:00,693
to say to to be just a pass 95

2104
01:15:00,693 --> 01:15:03,663
or 10. We wanted to rival all

2105
01:15:03,663 --> 01:15:04,931
of the other cities in Florida

2106
01:15:04,931 --> 01:15:07,534
and we need you to address

2107
01:15:07,534 --> 01:15:09,436
redlining head on outside of a

2108
01:15:09,436 --> 01:15:10,270
resolution and what tangible

2109
01:15:10,270 --> 01:15:12,306
bills and with tangible

2110
01:15:12,306 --> 01:15:15,306
policy. Thank you. Thank u

2111
01:15:23,384 --> 01:15:24,618
past. And Patrick.

2112
01:15:24,618 --> 01:15:25,719
>> Hi, good evening, everyone.

2113
01:15:25,719 --> 01:15:29,324
My name is at U.S. And Liberty

2114
01:15:29,324 --> 01:15:30,659
Patrick, my addresses on file

2115
01:15:30,659 --> 01:15:31,326
again want to thank everyone

2116
01:15:31,326 --> 01:15:31,926
who's been working on the

2117
01:15:31,926 --> 01:15:34,262
revised version of the

2118
01:15:34,262 --> 01:15:35,464
neighborhood Bill of Rights.

2119
01:15:35,464 --> 01:15:36,865
As everyone has said before we

2120
01:15:36,865 --> 01:15:39,865
had over 100 people there last

2121
01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:42,671
night, it was incredible and

2122
01:15:42,671 --> 01:15:44,740
impressive to see all of the

2123
01:15:44,740 --> 01:15:45,774
community members across

2124
01:15:45,774 --> 01:15:48,174
economic geographic and even

2125
01:15:49,445 --> 01:15:50,646
across the age spectrum to see

2126
01:15:50,646 --> 01:15:51,414
how everyone was present in

2127
01:15:51,414 --> 01:15:52,114
interested in being involved

2128
01:15:52,114 --> 01:15:55,114
in their community and making

2129
01:15:56,385 --> 01:15:57,453
a better place. The crowd was

2130
01:15:57,453 --> 01:15:58,254
engaged, asked relevant

2131
01:15:58,254 --> 01:15:58,955
questions and the speakers and

2132
01:15:58,955 --> 01:16:01,291
panelists put together a well

2133
01:16:01,291 --> 01:16:03,691
organized event. I left

2134
01:16:05,495 --> 01:16:08,464
feeling energized. I also want

2135
01:16:08,464 --> 01:16:09,660
to add again that all 3 major

2136
01:16:09,660 --> 01:16:09,633
political parties were

2137
01:16:09,633 --> 01:16:11,633
represented there in

2138
01:16:13,170 --> 01:16:14,438
attendance. There were no

2139
01:16:14,438 --> 01:16:15,139
disagreements and we didn't

2140
01:16:15,139 --> 01:16:18,139
need government there to keep

2141
01:16:19,576 --> 01:16:20,845
law and order. I do want to

2142
01:16:20,845 --> 01:16:23,245
thank again council members,

2143
01:16:23,747 --> 01:16:25,182
Johnson incluso for attending.

2144
01:16:25,182 --> 01:16:25,916
And as some are aware, there

2145
01:16:25,916 --> 01:16:27,885
are other meetings tonight. At

2146
01:16:27,885 --> 01:16:28,553
the same time there's a jta

2147
01:16:28,553 --> 01:16:30,187
meeting over Fscj and then

2148
01:16:30,187 --> 01:16:30,789
there's mayors, town hall

2149
01:16:30,789 --> 01:16:32,789
believe so. Appreciate

2150
01:16:33,324 --> 01:16:36,260
everyone who's here. I would

2151
01:16:36,260 --> 01:16:38,162
like to commend Council member

2152
01:16:38,162 --> 01:16:39,865
Mike Gay for holding member

2153
01:16:39,865 --> 01:16:40,565
holding meetings for public

2154
01:16:40,565 --> 01:16:41,133
comment and taking the wishes

2155
01:16:41,133 --> 01:16:43,133
of constituents into

2156
01:16:44,469 --> 01:16:45,204
consideration. I attended the

2157
01:16:45,204 --> 01:16:45,938
Finance Committee meeting last

2158
01:16:45,938 --> 01:16:48,473
week and I would like to thank

2159
01:16:48,473 --> 01:16:49,675
council member Rory Diamond

2160
01:16:49,675 --> 01:16:52,745
for being the only member who

2161
01:16:52,745 --> 01:16:53,612
voted against a quarter of a

2162
01:16:53,612 --> 01:16:54,313
million dollar consulting fee

2163
01:16:54,313 --> 01:16:58,513
to scout a location for a new

2164
01:17:00,486 --> 01:17:03,156
jail. And as a libertarian, I

2165
01:17:03,156 --> 01:17:03,823
hear things I agree with from

2166
01:17:03,823 --> 01:17:05,240
Republicans, Democrats and

2167
01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:06,559
independents across the

2168
01:17:06,559 --> 01:17:07,193
spectrum. I believe that

2169
01:17:07,193 --> 01:17:09,593
language and delivery are

2170
01:17:10,997 --> 01:17:13,867
really important. Some of us

2171
01:17:13,867 --> 01:17:14,568
are building more coalitions

2172
01:17:14,568 --> 01:17:15,335
purposefully by design. So we

2173
01:17:15,335 --> 01:17:16,937
are not in our same echo

2174
01:17:16,937 --> 01:17:18,939
chamber. We want to hear

2175
01:17:18,939 --> 01:17:20,939
different perspective.

2176
01:17:21,876 --> 01:17:23,143
Perspectives and talk about

2177
01:17:23,143 --> 01:17:24,145
solutions. Jacksonville is a

2178
01:17:24,145 --> 01:17:25,579
melting pot of ideas. We hope

2179
01:17:25,579 --> 01:17:26,180
to see that reflected in the

2180
01:17:26,180 --> 01:17:28,580
leadership of the next

2181
01:17:30,451 --> 01:17:32,753
council. We take Jacksonville

2182
01:17:32,753 --> 01:17:33,988
back by coming together across

2183
01:17:33,988 --> 01:17:35,957
party lines and meeting

2184
01:17:35,957 --> 01:17:38,920
everyone as we are neighbors.

2185
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:40,920
Thank you.

2186
01:17:44,333 --> 01:17:46,733

2187
01:17:49,437 --> 01:17:50,505

know what? I'll be speaking to

2220
01:19:11,958 --> 01:19:15,558
amount of money that was Duval

2221
01:19:17,329 --> 01:19:19,566

councilmembers. My name is

2270
01:20:57,501 --> 01:20:58,102
Jamie trying addresses on

2271
01:20:58,102 --> 01:21:00,502
file. It's just really

2272
01:21:01,206 --> 01:21:02,907
difficult. Headline I saw

2273
01:21:02,907 --> 01:21:05,243
coming out of our Florida

2274
01:21:05,243 --> 01:21:05,910
lawmakers, informal housing

2275
01:21:05,910 --> 01:21:06,811
coming up here a few times

2276
01:21:06,811 --> 01:21:08,680
about affordable housing. Many

2277
01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:12,280
people have come up over the

2278
01:21:12,284 --> 01:21:14,253
last several months. And thank

2279
01:21:14,253 --> 01:21:14,954
you to do something. And I've

2280
01:21:14,954 --> 01:21:18,290
had some of you come to mean,

2281
01:21:18,290 --> 01:21:21,290
say it's really heart. We

2282
01:21:22,461 --> 01:21:23,162
can't do a lot guys.

2283
01:21:23,162 --> 01:21:23,896
>> And I'm sorry, that's not

2284
01:21:23,896 --> 01:21:25,198
going to cut it because if you

2285
01:21:25,198 --> 01:21:27,200
can't do it in our state,

2286
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:30,103
lawmakers can't do it. Why do

2287
01:21:30,103 --> 01:21:32,271
we have the u? Why are we

2288
01:21:32,271 --> 01:21:35,271
paying your salary with art?

2289
01:21:36,109 --> 01:21:36,710
Is from homes. If you can,

2290
01:21:36,710 --> 01:21:39,710
then help us make them

2291
01:21:39,946 --> 01:21:41,946
affordable. 42.4 people in

2292
01:21:45,585 --> 01:21:46,186
this city. Renters. There were

2293
01:21:46,186 --> 01:21:48,186
multiple bills, Thomas,

2294
01:21:50,391 --> 01:21:51,425
Calista few in the state.

2295
01:21:51,425 --> 01:21:53,425
>> For affordable.

2296
01:21:53,594 --> 01:21:55,763
>> Renting hb 675, sb 756, hb

2297
01:21:55,763 --> 01:21:57,431
703, all failed. And you know

2298
01:21:57,431 --> 01:22:00,431
what the state lawmaker said?

2299
01:22:01,690 --> 01:22:01,803
Well, it's really hard. Its

2300
01:22:01,803 --> 01:22:05,403
its hard to come an agreement.

2301
01:22:05,674 --> 01:22:07,750
No, it's not. I cannot

2302
01:22:07,750 --> 01:22:10,378
conceive how you all can have

2303
01:22:10,378 --> 01:22:11,279
a sitting city council

2304
01:22:11,279 --> 01:22:14,879
PRESIDENT Make a bia and try

2305
01:22:15,500 --> 01:22:15,683
to make his bff. A board

2306
01:22:15,683 --> 01:22:17,386
member on how we can have

2307
01:22:17,386 --> 01:22:19,786
another city council member

2308
01:22:20,222 --> 01:22:21,991

multiple city council members

2311
01:22:24,727 --> 01:22:26,727
disrespect public speakers

2312
01:22:27,429 --> 01:22:28,131
Liu, meetings, but we can't

2313
01:22:28,131 --> 01:22:31,131
get affordable housing out of

2314
01:22:32,735 --> 01:22:33,870
fuel. It's real suspicious

2315
01:22:33,870 --> 01:22:34,837
guy. Eyes beginning to think

2316
01:22:34,837 --> 01:22:37,837
there might be some corruption

2317
01:22:41,311 --> 01:22:42,613
at play. We have big do. We've

2318
01:22:42,613 --> 01:22:43,546

01:22:46,449 --> 01:22:50,490
happens. Or you can be voted

2322
01:22:50,787 --> 01:22:51,555
out. Address the affordability

2323
01:22:51,555 --> 01:22:53,991

I'm a 33 year veteran of the

U.S. Navy and Coast Guard, a

2383
01:24:58,786 --> 01:24:59,421
neighborhood It's a problem.

2384
01:24:59,421 --> 01:25:01,821
It's something I've been

2385
01:25:03,792 --> 01:25:06,792
addressing as a citizen. Also

2386
01:25:06,795 --> 01:25:07,463
remember if some of these

2387
01:25:07,463 --> 01:25:08,998
neighborhoods case in point

2388
01:25:08,998 --> 01:25:11,398
right outside the Volunteers

2389
01:25:12,968 --> 01:25:15,368
of America. Veterans. In

2390
01:25:15,904 --> 01:25:17,904
transition. I've called 3

2391
01:25:17,940 --> 01:25:20,243
times this week. It was there

2392
01:25:20,243 --> 01:25:22,145
before I got there and it's

2393
01:25:22,145 --> 01:25:23,512
still there. Now someone told

2394
01:25:23,512 --> 01:25:25,181
me from the mayor's office

2395
01:25:25,181 --> 01:25:28,151
said it would be taken care of

2396
01:25:28,151 --> 01:25:30,853
and still has it. Also, I'd

2397
01:25:30,853 --> 01:25:32,888
like to address the area

2398
01:25:32,888 --> 01:25:34,457
around Macduff 5.29

2399
01:25:34,457 --> 01:25:35,725
Specifically there are about 3

2400
01:25:35,725 --> 01:25:38,725
churches they're in that very

2401
01:25:39,395 --> 01:25:41,297
area and all of them suffering

2402
01:25:41,297 --> 01:25:42,310
light. They've called they've

2403
01:25:42,310 --> 01:25:43,467
written and they've asked that

2404
01:25:43,467 --> 01:25:46,303
these areas be cleaned up and

2405
01:25:46,303 --> 01:25:47,370
they're not being cleaned up.

2406
01:25:47,370 --> 01:25:49,272
So I did like somebody who's a

2407
01:25:49,272 --> 01:25:50,574
part of that committee, maybe

2408
01:25:50,574 --> 01:25:51,675
speak with them and we need to

2409
01:25:51,675 --> 01:25:54,750
make something happen. That

2410
01:25:54,177 --> 01:25:57,177
knows area real quickly, I'd

2411
01:25:59,149 --> 01:26:00,951
like to address. Is Citizens

2412
01:26:00,951 --> 01:26:02,286
Review Board. We don't have

2413
01:26:02,286 --> 01:26:05,886
one if there's going to be

2414
01:26:06,424 --> 01:26:08,158
trusts, restored. Between the

2415
01:26:08,158 --> 01:26:11,950
public and jso, we need a

2416
01:26:11,950 --> 01:26:13,950
citizens review board.

2417
01:26:16,634 --> 01:26:17,769
Finally. Collaboration between

2418
01:26:17,769 --> 01:26:18,469
faith-based organizations and

2419
01:26:18,469 --> 01:26:20,469
nonprofit organizations that

2420
01:26:21,472 --> 01:26:22,700
are dealing with the use and

2421
01:26:22,700 --> 01:26:23,408
providing them with

2422
01:26:23,408 --> 01:26:25,510
alternatives to deter them

2423
01:26:25,510 --> 01:26:28,510
from crime and other things

2424
01:26:29,548 --> 01:26:30,248
that affect their lives. My

2425
01:26:30,248 --> 01:26:33,248
ministry, I'm the founder and

2426
01:26:33,485 --> 01:26:34,652
director of Speed Ministries.

2427
01:26:34,652 --> 01:26:35,354
It's a National llc and our

2428
01:26:35,354 --> 01:26:38,190
focus is to work with young

2429
01:26:38,190 --> 01:26:41,190
boys between the ages of 7.14,

2430
01:26:41,660 --> 01:26:43,795
14 in 17 18. And 25 we have

2431
01:26:43,795 --> 01:26:44,463
found 5 foundational. Thank

2432
01:26:44,463 --> 01:26:48,630
you, sir. Thank Next up is

2433
01:26:52,738 --> 01:26:53,473
Nick Smith.

2434
01:26:53,473 --> 01:26:57,730
>> Name is Nick Smith and my

2435
01:26:58,143 --> 01:26:59,946
addresses on file. Good

2436
01:26:59,946 --> 01:27:00,613
evening. My name is Nick Smith

2437
01:27:00,613 --> 01:27:03,613
and I water and wastewater

2438
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:05,685
system at j. Let me tell you

2439
01:27:05,685 --> 01:27:06,386
what that job actually

2440
01:27:06,386 --> 01:27:09,322
involved, because I think it

2441
01:27:09,322 --> 01:27:10,356
matters here. We're required

2442
01:27:10,356 --> 01:27:12,756
to hold. State certifications

2443
01:27:15,162 --> 01:27:15,796
was take years to earn. We're

2444
01:27:15,796 --> 01:27:16,463
an treatment systems that

2445
01:27:16,463 --> 01:27:18,863
protect public health every

2446
01:27:20,166 --> 01:27:22,680
hour of every day.

2447
01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:22,936
Troubleshooter equipment

2448
01:27:22,936 --> 01:27:23,637
maintain infrastructure and

2449
01:27:23,637 --> 01:27:26,637
respond when things go wrong.

2450
01:27:27,208 --> 01:27:27,875
Regardless. When that happens

2451
01:27:27,875 --> 01:27:30,875
or what the conditions are

2452
01:27:32,679 --> 01:27:33,614
outside. During the freeze,

2453
01:27:33,614 --> 01:27:36,483
we're managing burst pipes and

2454
01:27:36,483 --> 01:27:37,217
system stressed citywide. But

2455
01:27:37,217 --> 01:27:40,217
most of Jacksonville was being

2456
01:27:42,824 --> 01:27:43,525
told to stay inside. The

2457
01:27:43,525 --> 01:27:46,270
question I'm bringing to this

2458
01:27:46,270 --> 01:27:46,694
council is a simple one. What

2459
01:27:46,694 --> 01:27:50,294
does the people who do that

2460
01:27:51,198 --> 01:27:51,833
work? We have been in contract

2461
01:27:51,833 --> 01:27:54,233
negotiations for nearly a

2462
01:27:55,670 --> 01:27:56,537
year. We have brought a

2463
01:27:56,537 --> 01:27:57,720
proposal that is grounded in

2464
01:27:57,720 --> 01:27:59,720
Jay's own internal

2465
01:28:00,509 --> 01:28:02,440
compensation which shows a

2466
01:28:02,440 --> 01:28:03,512
growing gap between what our

2467
01:28:03,512 --> 01:28:05,481
members earn and what workers

2468
01:28:05,481 --> 01:28:06,448
in other parts of the utility

2469
01:28:06,448 --> 01:28:09,448
earn for work that overlap

2470
01:28:10,386 --> 01:28:11,530
significantly with ours. We

2471
01:28:11,530 --> 01:28:13,823
have sat at that table and

2472
01:28:13,823 --> 01:28:16,823
bargain seriously. We have not

2473
01:28:20,630 --> 01:28:22,640
seen that the same in return.

2474
01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:22,664
I'm not here tonight because

2475
01:28:22,664 --> 01:28:25,640
of anything else that's

2476
01:28:26,468 --> 01:28:28,271
happening around j. I'm Amber

2477
01:28:28,271 --> 01:28:30,671
situation existed before any

2478
01:28:30,807 --> 01:28:31,507
of this and became Sircy

2479
01:28:31,507 --> 01:28:35,780
talked a little closer to the

2480
01:28:35,780 --> 01:28:36,312
speakers microphone.

2481
01:28:36,312 --> 01:28:37,146
>> My members situation

2482
01:28:37,146 --> 01:28:37,847
existed before any of this

2483
01:28:37,847 --> 01:28:41,447
became news and it will exist

2484
01:28:42,218 --> 01:28:44,421
after. It stands entirely on

2485
01:28:44,421 --> 01:28:45,889
its own experience. Utility

2486
01:28:45,889 --> 01:28:46,589
workers who feel undervalued

2487
01:28:46,589 --> 01:28:49,589
make decisions that cost the

2488
01:28:50,827 --> 01:28:53,130
city over time. I'm asking

2489
01:28:53,130 --> 01:28:53,864
this council to treat our con

2490
01:28:53,864 --> 01:28:56,864
contract situation as a public

2491
01:28:57,500 --> 01:28:59,536
safety issue. It is. Thank

2492
01:28:59,536 --> 01:29:00,203
you. Our last speaker is

2493
01:29:00,203 --> 01:29:02,603
Amanda Breen. Apologize. We

2494
01:29:06,643 --> 01:29:08,312
have 2 Breen Eric's to do.

2495
01:29:08,312 --> 01:29:09,130
>> Good evening. My name is

2496
01:29:09,130 --> 01:29:12,130
Amanda Brain and my addresses

2497
01:29:14,886 --> 01:29:15,520
on file. I'm here tonight to

2498
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:16,587
offer the City Council a

2499
01:29:16,587 --> 01:29:17,355
perspective that you might not

2500
01:29:17,355 --> 01:29:19,991
hear often. I live in

2501
01:29:19,991 --> 01:29:22,260
Jacksonville and I pay my j a

2502
01:29:22,260 --> 01:29:24,162
bill every single month. And I

2503
01:29:24,162 --> 01:29:26,697
also worked for j a

2504
01:29:26,697 --> 01:29:28,697
maintaining the infrastructure

2505
01:29:30,134 --> 01:29:33,734
that Bill Pace for. See this

2506
01:29:34,720 --> 01:29:35,707
utility from both sides as a

2507
01:29:35,707 --> 01:29:36,174
rate payer. I care about

2508
01:29:36,174 --> 01:29:36,641
whether is Rahm

2509
01:29:36,641 --> 01:29:38,641
responsibility,

2510
01:29:39,111 --> 01:29:40,110
responsibility. And as the

2511
01:29:40,110 --> 01:29:40,646
work I care about, whether the

2512
01:29:40,646 --> 01:29:42,815
people doing this central

2513
01:29:42,815 --> 01:29:45,215
work. Are being treated

2514
01:29:45,985 --> 01:29:48,985
respectfully. And right now I

2515
01:29:50,122 --> 01:29:50,823
have concerns on both ends.

2516
01:29:50,823 --> 01:29:51,524
Jays own internal

2517
01:29:51,524 --> 01:29:53,893
conversation. Data shows that

2518
01:29:53,893 --> 01:29:55,610
water and wastewater workers

2519
01:29:55,610 --> 01:29:55,661
have been falling behind the

2520
01:29:55,661 --> 01:29:57,661
other similar positions

2521
01:30:00,499 --> 01:30:01,533
within. The utility for over

2522
01:30:01,533 --> 01:30:04,704
years. Now we brought that to

2523
01:30:04,704 --> 01:30:05,371
the bargaining table. Along

2524
01:30:05,371 --> 01:30:08,371
with a proposal designed to

2525
01:30:10,944 --> 01:30:12,780
address it. A modest raise, a

2526
01:30:12,780 --> 01:30:12,746
yearly adjustment. Nothing

2527
01:30:12,746 --> 01:30:14,247
that should require a year

2528
01:30:14,247 --> 01:30:15,648
worth of nut years worth of

2529
01:30:15,648 --> 01:30:16,749
negotiations and a complete

2530
01:30:16,749 --> 01:30:19,749
standstill at this point to

2531
01:30:21,721 --> 01:30:23,657
resolve. But here we are. The

2532
01:30:23,657 --> 01:30:24,958
reason that I am raising this

2533
01:30:24,958 --> 01:30:25,626
tonight here with you all as

2534
01:30:25,626 --> 01:30:26,226
though I do not think that

2535
01:30:26,226 --> 01:30:28,226
most of Jacksonville's

2536
01:30:28,562 --> 01:30:29,730
residents. No, what is

2537
01:30:29,730 --> 01:30:30,831
happening. They know there's

2538
01:30:30,831 --> 01:30:34,431
turbulence at j a. They also

2539
01:30:35,970 --> 01:30:36,671
know that. They MAY not know

2540
01:30:36,671 --> 01:30:38,772
that the workers responsible

2541
01:30:38,772 --> 01:30:40,607
for their drinking and

2542
01:30:40,607 --> 01:30:41,676
wastewater systems are sitting

2543
01:30:41,676 --> 01:30:42,377
in a stall negotiations that's

2544
01:30:42,377 --> 01:30:45,977
been dragged on for a better

2545
01:30:46,147 --> 01:30:48,820
part of the year. This council

2546
01:30:48,820 --> 01:30:48,850
is asking hard questions about

2547
01:30:48,850 --> 01:30:51,850
how operates. I'm asking you

2548
01:30:51,886 --> 01:30:53,955
to include this one question.

2549
01:30:53,955 --> 01:30:55,690
How this treat the people at

2550
01:30:55,690 --> 01:30:58,793
the bottom of the org chart.

2551
01:30:58,793 --> 01:31:01,329
Who do the work at the top of

2552
01:31:01,329 --> 01:31:03,198
the priority list right now,

2553
01:31:03,198 --> 01:31:05,868
the answer that's been given,

2554
01:31:05,868 --> 01:31:06,535
it's not a good and not one. I

2555
01:31:06,535 --> 01:31:09,535
thank you for listening. I

2556
01:31:10,372 --> 01:31:10,739
hope you can. So there are

2557
01:31:10,739 --> 01:31:11,440
concerns.

2558
01:31:11,440 --> 01:31:14,440
>> Thank you. Our last Rick's

2559
01:31:19,480 --> 01:31:22,648
to do. Hello. My name Erica

2560
01:31:25,955 --> 01:31:26,656
Stoll a and And the last

2561
01:31:26,656 --> 01:31:27,356
Speaker COUNCILWOMAN Ju'coby

2562
01:31:27,356 --> 01:31:28,230
Pittman would like to talk to

2563
01:31:28,230 --> 01:31:29,792
in the Bob Jones or if you

2564
01:31:29,792 --> 01:31:30,460
could come on down and then

2565
01:31:30,460 --> 01:31:33,460
let's reset mistress to do

2566
01:31:35,598 --> 01:31:38,501
list clock here. Go ahead,

2567
01:31:38,501 --> 01:31:39,202
sir. Sorry about that. Okay.

2568
01:31:39,202 --> 01:31:42,802
Good evening. My name is Eric

2569
01:31:44,674 --> 01:31:45,508
stolen. I work in the water

2570
01:31:45,508 --> 01:31:47,744
wastewater and Jay and I will

2571
01:31:47,744 --> 01:31:49,460
try to keep this short.

2572
01:31:49,460 --> 01:31:51,114
>> The freeze hit Jacksonville

2573
01:31:51,114 --> 01:31:54,114
hard earlier this year. My

2574
01:31:56,286 --> 01:31:56,954
crew and I were out clearing

2575
01:31:56,954 --> 01:31:59,223
calls for 10's 10 straight

2576
01:31:59,223 --> 01:32:02,823
days while the city was still

2577
01:32:04,940 --> 01:32:04,795
gone out. We did not talk

2578
01:32:04,795 --> 01:32:07,697
about that contract where we

2579
01:32:07,697 --> 01:32:11,102
were doing it. The job needed

2580
01:32:11,102 --> 01:32:12,103
to get done and we did it.

2581
01:32:12,103 --> 01:32:15,640
When it was over. We went back

2582
01:32:15,640 --> 01:32:18,640
to the bargaining table that

2583
01:32:18,876 --> 01:32:22,714
has not moved close to a year.

2584
01:32:22,714 --> 01:32:23,848
Jays on record documents.

2585
01:32:23,848 --> 01:32:24,582
That's our wages have been

2586
01:32:24,582 --> 01:32:26,982
falling behind other positions

2587
01:32:28,119 --> 01:32:31,119
inside the utility. We have

2588
01:32:32,230 --> 01:32:35,193
put a fair proposal. On the

2589
01:32:35,193 --> 01:32:37,129
table. We have shown up to and

2590
01:32:37,129 --> 01:32:39,865
engage seriously every time we

2591
01:32:39,865 --> 01:32:43,465
have been asked to. And the

2592
01:32:44,869 --> 01:32:45,804
talks are stuck. I'm here

2593
01:32:45,804 --> 01:32:49,374
because I want the people on

2594
01:32:49,374 --> 01:32:51,944
the council to know. That's

2595
01:32:51,944 --> 01:32:54,944
not because I expect a.

2596
01:32:56,615 --> 01:32:58,615
Dramatic resolution tonight.

2597
01:32:59,886 --> 01:33:00,620
But because 432 workers showed

2598
01:33:00,620 --> 01:33:03,620
up for Jacksonville during the

2599
01:33:05,724 --> 01:33:08,494
crisis. Are now sitting in

2600
01:33:08,494 --> 01:33:10,530
negotiation that gone nowhere.

2601
01:33:10,530 --> 01:33:13,632
And I think that deserves to

2602
01:33:13,632 --> 01:33:17,170
be said out loud in this room.

2603
01:33:17,170 --> 01:33:17,904
We are not difficult. People.

2604
01:33:17,904 --> 01:33:20,904
We are not making unreasonable

2605
01:33:21,808 --> 01:33:23,243
demands. We are asking to be

2606
01:33:23,243 --> 01:33:23,876
paid fairly for the work that

2607
01:33:23,876 --> 01:33:26,276
the city cannot function

2608
01:33:26,279 --> 01:33:29,215
without. And that is the whole

2609
01:33:29,215 --> 01:33:32,815
of it. I appreciate your time

2610
01:33:34,154 --> 01:33:35,389
and thank you. This PRESIDENT

2611
01:33:35,389 --> 01:33:36,389
Also had 2 cards that did not

2612
01:33:36,389 --> 01:33:39,293
wish to speak or read them

2613
01:33:39,293 --> 01:33:40,270
into the record. Now, David

2614
01:33:40,270 --> 01:33:40,661
Williams.

2615
01:33:40,661 --> 01:33:41,662
>> Negotiate with jta are

2616
01:33:41,662 --> 01:33:44,599
unfair and not in good faith

2617
01:33:44,599 --> 01:33:45,299
in uninformed. And then

2618
01:33:45,299 --> 01:33:45,966
Tabitha buyers redlining

2619
01:33:45,966 --> 01:33:47,668
neighborhood Bill of Rights

2620
01:33:47,668 --> 01:33:50,668
and cpac. All right. Thank

2621
01:33:51,372 --> 01:33:52,390
you. As floor leader. And with

2622
01:33:52,390 --> 01:33:53,440
that is now time for public

2623
01:33:53,440 --> 01:33:54,675
hearing starting on Page 11

2624
01:33:54,675 --> 01:33:55,610

Florida, 3, 2, 2, 0, 6,

2672
01:35:48,460 --> 01:35:49,940
>> I'm the pastor of Mount

2673
01:35:49,940 --> 01:35:51,940
Carmel Missionary Baptist

2674
01:35:52,464 --> 01:35:54,864
Church at. 13. 29 North Market

2675
01:35:56,568 --> 01:35:59,604
street. We are the church that

2676
01:35:59,604 --> 01:36:02,604
is contiguous to. The building

2677
01:36:02,775 --> 01:36:05,175
at 13. 41 North Market Street

2678
01:36:05,644 --> 01:36:06,478
that is seeking the variance.

2679
01:36:06,478 --> 01:36:08,878
Mount Carmel is vehemently

2680
01:36:10,683 --> 01:36:12,518
opposed to granting. A

2681
01:36:12,518 --> 01:36:13,553
variance for the selling of

2682
01:36:13,553 --> 01:36:15,953
alcoholic beverages of any

2683
01:36:19,626 --> 01:36:21,461
kind on that property. The

2684
01:36:21,461 --> 01:36:25,299
fake a lot. That is between a

2685
01:36:25,299 --> 01:36:27,000
the 2 buildings is also owned

2686
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:27,700
by the church. Mount Carmel

2687
01:36:27,700 --> 01:36:29,669
Missionary Baptist Church in

2688
01:36:29,669 --> 01:36:33,339
which we are in the process of

2689
01:36:33,339 --> 01:36:35,739
planning. Dining hall addition

2690
01:36:36,409 --> 01:36:38,812
to our church that is going to

2691
01:36:38,812 --> 01:36:41,812
move the church building even

2692
01:36:45,185 --> 01:36:46,487
closer. To the property wants

2693
01:36:46,487 --> 01:36:47,121
to sell beer and wine. So

2694
01:36:47,121 --> 01:36:48,989
again, we are vehemently

2695
01:36:48,989 --> 01:36:52,589
opposed to it. And at the

2696
01:36:52,659 --> 01:36:53,794
Planning Commission meeting

2697
01:36:53,794 --> 01:36:55,329
and agent for either the owner

2698
01:36:55,329 --> 01:36:58,329
of the building or the

2699
01:36:59,401 --> 01:37:02,401
business that operates in the

2700
01:37:03,138 --> 01:37:04,172
in the property at 13. 41

2701
01:37:04,172 --> 01:37:06,572
representative to the planning

2702
01:37:07,609 --> 01:37:08,309
Commission that we approved

2703
01:37:08,309 --> 01:37:10,450
such a quick requests and I'm

2704
01:37:10,450 --> 01:37:13,645
here to state again that we

2705
01:37:16,918 --> 01:37:17,586
made no such approval. A Mount

2706
01:37:17,586 --> 01:37:18,287
Carmel has been a church in

2707
01:37:18,287 --> 01:37:19,954
that location since 1946. And

2708
01:37:19,954 --> 01:37:21,724
in fact, this business as well

2709
01:37:21,724 --> 01:37:22,491
as the owner of the business

2710
01:37:22,491 --> 01:37:26,910
knew we were a church before

2711
01:37:27,960 --> 01:37:28,300
they acquire this property.

2712
01:37:28,300 --> 01:37:31,300
The church constantly has to

2713
01:37:31,968 --> 01:37:34,803
deal with vague Runcie not to

2714
01:37:34,803 --> 01:37:36,705
be too graphic, but we even

2715
01:37:36,705 --> 01:37:39,609
have to deal with atrocities

2716
01:37:39,609 --> 01:37:40,744
like vagrants Def. Okay, Ting

2717
01:37:40,744 --> 01:37:42,678
and you are in on the front

2718
01:37:42,678 --> 01:37:44,814
porch of our church on a

2719
01:37:44,814 --> 01:37:47,830
Sunday morning. So we're not

2720
01:37:47,830 --> 01:37:49,483
interested in increasing the

2721
01:37:49,585 --> 01:37:52,188
use or the access of alcoholic

2722
01:37:52,188 --> 01:37:54,357
beverages by any means. So we

2723
01:37:54,357 --> 01:37:57,357
are asking respect fully that

2724
01:37:58,862 --> 01:38:01,262
this council denied the

2725
01:38:01,965 --> 01:38:04,670
request that is made by either

2726
01:38:04,670 --> 01:38:05,636
the occupants or the owners of

2727
01:38:05,636 --> 01:38:07,370
13. 41 North Market street.

2728
01:38:07,370 --> 01:38:10,970
And with that, are you thank

2729
01:38:13,644 --> 01:38:14,477
you, Sir. Thurman Young.

2730
01:38:14,477 --> 01:38:15,790
>> And then I believe this is

2731
01:38:15,790 --> 01:38:18,790
Karen, as will be after

2732
01:38:19,149 --> 01:38:19,816
MISTER.

2733
01:38:19,816 --> 01:38:22,152
>> Good evening. My name is

2734
01:38:22,152 --> 01:38:24,552
Thurman. You know. Addresses

2735
01:38:27,292 --> 01:38:29,360
on file. I stand here too.

2736
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:31,760
Expressed opposition to the

2737
01:38:31,863 --> 01:38:34,263
requested zoning waiver that

2738
01:38:34,766 --> 01:38:37,166
would reduce the minimum

2739
01:38:37,536 --> 01:38:38,303
required distance liquor

2740
01:38:38,303 --> 01:38:40,303
licenses, establishment and

2741
01:38:40,872 --> 01:38:43,272
the church's school from 500

2742
01:38:46,711 --> 01:38:48,814
to 6 defeat. The existing 500

2743
01:38:48,814 --> 01:38:51,214
foot buffer servers and

2744
01:38:52,830 --> 01:38:55,830
important purpose. It helps to

2745
01:38:55,688 --> 01:38:58,290
protect the care to the safety

2746
01:38:58,290 --> 01:38:59,224
and the well-being of

2747
01:38:59,224 --> 01:39:01,560
environments dedicated to to

2748
01:39:01,560 --> 01:39:03,560
education, worship, community

2749
01:39:06,165 --> 01:39:08,165
development. Reducing distance

2750
01:39:11,737 --> 01:39:12,772
to just 60 feet significantly

2751
01:39:12,772 --> 01:39:14,773
weakens their protection and

2752
01:39:14,773 --> 01:39:17,173
increases the likelihood of

2753
01:39:21,547 --> 01:39:22,249
negative impacts. Including

2754
01:39:22,249 --> 01:39:24,649
increased exposure of minors

2755
01:39:26,252 --> 01:39:28,288
to alcohol related activity.

2756
01:39:28,288 --> 01:39:29,489
Potential disturbances and

2757
01:39:29,489 --> 01:39:31,889
conflicts with the intended

2758
01:39:32,225 --> 01:39:34,625
use of these sensitive

2759
01:39:36,530 --> 01:39:38,530
locations. Zoning standards

2760
01:39:40,600 --> 01:39:43,370
put in place to maintain a

2761
01:39:43,370 --> 01:39:45,437
balance within the community.

2762
01:39:48,842 --> 01:39:50,144
Granting this waiver. Wood

2763
01:39:50,144 --> 01:39:52,544
said a concerning precedent

2764
01:39:54,248 --> 01:39:55,150
and undermine those standards.

2765
01:39:55,150 --> 01:39:58,150
The proposed reduction is not

2766
01:39:58,180 --> 01:40:00,889
a minor adjustment. It is

2767
01:40:00,889 --> 01:40:03,889
drastic change that would have

2768
01:40:05,893 --> 01:40:08,195
that could have. Lasting

2769
01:40:08,195 --> 01:40:09,965
consequences for nearby

2770
01:40:09,965 --> 01:40:11,766
families. Students and

2771
01:40:11,766 --> 01:40:14,166
congregations. And for these

2772
01:40:15,203 --> 01:40:16,710
reasons, I stand here

2773
01:40:16,710 --> 01:40:18,471
opposition 2 grand in that

2774
01:40:18,674 --> 01:40:21,142
waiver. Thank you. Thanks next

2775
01:40:21,142 --> 01:40:23,542
Speaker, Darren as And

2776
01:40:28,183 --> 01:40:30,583
apologize. If I mispronounce

2777
01:40:31,286 --> 01:40:34,286
Good evening. My name Ezell.

2778
01:40:35,240 --> 01:40:38,126
>> And my address is on fire.

2779
01:40:38,126 --> 01:40:38,794
I am a number of Mount Carmel

2780
01:40:38,794 --> 01:40:39,762
Baptist Church. I'm also a

2781
01:40:39,762 --> 01:40:42,762
member of the board of

2782
01:40:43,799 --> 01:40:45,934
directors. And with that said

2783
01:40:45,934 --> 01:40:47,937
anything that is official for

2784
01:40:47,937 --> 01:40:49,205
Mount Carmel would need to

2785
01:40:49,205 --> 01:40:52,205
come through the board of

2786
01:40:53,943 --> 01:40:54,944
directors for approval. So

2787
01:40:54,944 --> 01:40:55,645
therefore, anything that's on

2788
01:40:55,645 --> 01:40:58,645
fathers signed by the board

2789
01:41:00,116 --> 01:41:00,783
directors is now ballot. I

2790
01:41:00,783 --> 01:41:03,285
would also like to say that

2791
01:41:03,285 --> 01:41:06,550
when I first saw this request

2792
01:41:06,550 --> 01:41:07,190
a petition that my first

2793
01:41:07,190 --> 01:41:09,725
thought was I should probably

2794
01:41:09,725 --> 01:41:10,393
run for city Council myself so

2795
01:41:10,393 --> 01:41:11,961
that I would be one of the

2796
01:41:11,961 --> 01:41:15,561
first to vote. No on this

2797
01:41:17,670 --> 01:41:18,367
petition. Time seemed to have

2798
01:41:18,367 --> 01:41:20,203
changed here recently. People

2799
01:41:20,203 --> 01:41:20,871
used to love and respected

2800
01:41:20,871 --> 01:41:23,306
church, but now it seems as

2801
01:41:23,306 --> 01:41:25,750
though they want to fight the

2802
01:41:25,750 --> 01:41:26,643
church, make the there in a

2803
01:41:26,643 --> 01:41:28,378
minute. Mount Carmel doesn't

2804
01:41:28,378 --> 01:41:31,978
want to be the enemy to

2805
01:41:32,216 --> 01:41:33,149
anyone. We just want to be the

2806
01:41:33,149 --> 01:41:35,549
same Mount Carmel Missionary

2807
01:41:35,819 --> 01:41:38,219
Baptist Church and historic

2808
01:41:39,522 --> 01:41:40,191
Springfield and not the. That

2809
01:41:40,191 --> 01:41:43,191
church. That's next to the

2810
01:41:43,894 --> 01:41:46,294
alcoholic. Beverage sales. On

2811
01:41:48,499 --> 01:41:49,233
Market Street. I would guess

2812
01:41:49,233 --> 01:41:51,201
that probably many of you that

2813
01:41:51,201 --> 01:41:51,836
attending church, the church,

2814
01:41:51,836 --> 01:41:54,236
churches from that within

2815
01:41:57,909 --> 01:41:58,609
1000. Of alcohol sales and you

2816
01:41:58,609 --> 01:41:59,310
probably wouldn't like it and

2817
01:41:59,310 --> 01:42:02,310
probably would be standing in

2818
01:42:02,613 --> 01:42:03,414
my position right now to

2819
01:42:03,414 --> 01:42:07,352
oppose it. If it was to come

2820
01:42:07,352 --> 01:42:10,187
to your church area. I would

2821
01:42:10,187 --> 01:42:13,187
say this a savvy business

2822
01:42:13,858 --> 01:42:15,994
person developing a business

2823
01:42:15,994 --> 01:42:16,527
plan with no, that location is

2824
01:42:16,527 --> 01:42:18,927
a priority for his

2825
01:42:21,733 --> 01:42:22,834
profitability. And therefore,

2826
01:42:22,834 --> 01:42:25,103
why would you want to move

2827
01:42:25,103 --> 01:42:25,737
next to a church knowing what

2828
01:42:25,737 --> 01:42:27,406
the restrictions and the

2829
01:42:27,406 --> 01:42:29,806
current laws or regulations

2830
01:42:30,141 --> 01:42:32,311
are regarding alcohol sales

2831
01:42:32,311 --> 01:42:34,711
within that specific distance.

2832
01:42:35,380 --> 01:42:36,348
Now that they're in that

2833
01:42:36,348 --> 01:42:39,348
building and they realize that

2834
01:42:39,885 --> 01:42:40,719
they made a poor. Business

2835
01:42:40,719 --> 01:42:44,319
decision and now they want to

2836
01:42:44,957 --> 01:42:45,858
play bully ball by trying to

2837
01:42:45,858 --> 01:42:48,858
summit a position to change

2838
01:42:48,861 --> 01:42:49,461
the rules and regulations.

2839
01:42:49,461 --> 01:42:51,861
This petition also all

2840
01:42:53,131 --> 01:42:54,934
understand that the current

2841
01:42:54,934 --> 01:42:57,934
order indicates that this is

2842
01:42:58,938 --> 01:42:59,739
also affects schools as well.

2843
01:42:59,739 --> 01:43:00,540
What are we what we already

2844
01:43:00,540 --> 01:43:01,207
have a problem weapons in

2845
01:43:01,207 --> 01:43:03,709
schools where kids and now

2846
01:43:03,709 --> 01:43:06,709
we're gonna put alcohol sales

2847
01:43:07,613 --> 01:43:08,848
within 60 feet of a school.

2848
01:43:08,848 --> 01:43:11,617
What we're going to have kids

2849
01:43:11,617 --> 01:43:12,585
going to across the street for

2850
01:43:12,585 --> 01:43:13,219
6 pack from much and then come

2851
01:43:13,219 --> 01:43:14,687
back and decide that the

2852
01:43:14,687 --> 01:43:17,687
alcohol made them bring a

2853
01:43:18,424 --> 01:43:20,260
weapon to school. As that you

2854
01:43:20,260 --> 01:43:23,260
vote. No. Thank you. Number

2855
01:43:26,650 --> 01:43:27,000
speaker cards. Public hearings

2856
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:27,634
close.

2857
01:43:27,634 --> 01:43:28,334
>> Gentlemen, a counselor

2858
01:43:28,334 --> 01:43:29,200
police say would like to talk

2859
01:43:29,200 --> 01:43:33,202

01:43:42,816 --> 01:43:44,816

01:43:47,421 --> 01:43:51,210
first is Tory race and also

2867
01:43:52,860 --> 01:43:53,527
also and costs. And that's

2868
01:43:53,527 --> 01:43:54,228
Torrey race and and costs.

2869
01:43:54,228 --> 01:43:57,228
Whoever gets to the podium

2870
01:44:06,400 --> 01:44:07,241
first can start.

2871
01:44:07,241 --> 01:44:08,442
>> Hello, my name is Tory

2872
01:44:08,442 --> 01:44:11,790
Reis. I'm at one to 0, 9, or

2873
01:44:11,790 --> 01:44:13,790
intro Jacksonville 3 to 207.

2874
01:44:14,816 --> 01:44:17,816
I'm here to oppose frontage

2875
01:44:18,953 --> 01:44:20,540
variants and subdivision of.

2876
01:44:20,540 --> 01:44:22,454
The property at 4, 5, to 6

2877
01:44:23,658 --> 01:44:25,626
Monday road. We as a

2878
01:44:25,626 --> 01:44:27,626
neighborhood have come

2879
01:44:27,829 --> 01:44:28,497
together to fight the

2880
01:44:28,497 --> 01:44:29,197
subdivision from what I've

2881
01:44:29,197 --> 01:44:31,299
heard just from sitting here

2882
01:44:31,299 --> 01:44:32,200
for past 90 minutes seems to

2883
01:44:32,200 --> 01:44:33,935
be a theme between developers

2884
01:44:33,935 --> 01:44:36,805
spreading out across the city,

2885
01:44:36,805 --> 01:44:38,640
buying a property and land and

2886
01:44:38,640 --> 01:44:39,408
this is no different in our

2887
01:44:39,408 --> 01:44:41,808
opinion. We've been approached

2888
01:44:44,546 --> 01:44:45,347
by a developer along with land

2889
01:44:45,347 --> 01:44:48,347
use attorney to subdivide a

2890
01:44:50,151 --> 01:44:51,530
lot into 3 parts and then sell

2891
01:44:51,530 --> 01:44:53,453
them not into affordable

2892
01:44:54,689 --> 01:44:56,459
housing. But in 2 beautiful

2893
01:44:56,459 --> 01:44:57,159
luxury homes. I have photos if

2894
01:44:57,159 --> 01:45:00,563
I'd like to hand them to the

2895
01:45:00,563 --> 01:45:02,963
page that illustrate our

2896
01:45:03,650 --> 01:45:03,933
opposition when it comes to

2897
01:45:03,933 --> 01:45:05,933
safety and specifically

2898
01:45:06,902 --> 01:45:09,302
against the frontage variance.

2899
01:45:09,905 --> 01:45:10,740
That adds access to roadway

2900
01:45:10,740 --> 01:45:12,410
and endangers the safety of

2901
01:45:12,410 --> 01:45:14,441
the pedestrians. That user

2902
01:45:15,645 --> 01:45:17,645
neighborhood, our neighborhood

2903
01:45:19,449 --> 01:45:21,449
currently has 36 children

2904
01:45:22,418 --> 01:45:24,520
under the age of 16 and out of

2905
01:45:24,520 --> 01:45:25,222
57 homes. Only the idea that

2906
01:45:25,222 --> 01:45:26,323
there's a young child in each

2907
01:45:26,323 --> 01:45:29,626
of those homes that is walking

2908
01:45:29,626 --> 01:45:30,226
biking in school during gives

2909
01:45:30,226 --> 01:45:33,226
us great alarm for the

2910
01:45:33,596 --> 01:45:35,365
developer that wants to add

2911
01:45:35,365 --> 01:45:37,765
multiple roadways car access

2912
01:45:40,537 --> 01:45:41,204
to this small lot. They are

2913
01:45:41,204 --> 01:45:44,204
asking for a full 144 feet

2914
01:45:44,574 --> 01:45:45,275
down to 0, which would give

2915
01:45:45,275 --> 01:45:48,875
them ability to do any thing

2916
01:45:48,912 --> 01:45:51,782
they want to land. And also

2917
01:45:51,782 --> 01:45:53,583
there on willing to use the

2918
01:45:53,583 --> 01:45:54,317
current driveway or visible

2919
01:45:54,317 --> 01:45:56,186
roadway that's already there

2920
01:45:56,186 --> 01:45:59,186
again, visible in the photos

2921
01:46:00,291 --> 01:46:01,459
that I can present to the

2922
01:46:01,459 --> 01:46:03,930
council. We are deeply

2923
01:46:03,930 --> 01:46:03,794
concerned about all of the

2924
01:46:03,794 --> 01:46:06,194
children in our neighborhood

2925
01:46:07,465 --> 01:46:10,465
that used this specific area.

2926
01:46:11,802 --> 01:46:12,603
4 playing baseball football.

2927
01:46:12,603 --> 01:46:13,570
School during by Kings. Some

2928
01:46:13,570 --> 01:46:16,407
of our council members, their

2929
01:46:16,407 --> 01:46:17,909
children, even access this

2930
01:46:17,909 --> 01:46:18,710
road. My children for children

2931
01:46:18,710 --> 01:46:21,110
in my household, specifically

2932
01:46:23,615 --> 01:46:24,215
3 across the street used this

2933
01:46:24,215 --> 01:46:24,816
specific area that the

2934
01:46:24,816 --> 01:46:27,216
developer would like to

2935
01:46:27,419 --> 01:46:29,419
subdivide and increased

2936
01:46:29,721 --> 01:46:32,721
traffic and roadway access to

2937
01:46:33,391 --> 01:46:34,580
every single day. It is truly

2938
01:46:34,580 --> 01:46:36,458
disheartening the way they

2939
01:46:36,862 --> 01:46:37,929
want to put the Rodeway Inn.

2940
01:46:37,929 --> 01:46:39,630
And again, we believe as a

2941
01:46:39,630 --> 01:46:42,300
neighborhood, it's unsafe. I

2942
01:46:43,702 --> 01:46:44,403
have over 24 petitions signed

2943
01:46:44,403 --> 01:46:46,803
from our neighborhood again.

2944
01:46:49,174 --> 01:46:50,942
24 out of 57 in the past 2

2945
01:46:50,942 --> 01:46:54,542
weeks. And I'm I'm just here

2946
01:46:55,800 --> 01:46:55,947
to firmly state opposition and

2947
01:46:55,947 --> 01:46:58,451
hope that you as a council can

2948
01:46:58,451 --> 01:46:59,118
review this specific plans for

2949
01:46:59,118 --> 01:47:01,118
historical neighborhood and

2950
01:47:02,855 --> 01:47:03,589
see why the proposed access

2951
01:47:03,589 --> 01:47:05,157
that the builder would like to

2952
01:47:05,157 --> 01:47:08,157
use for the 3 homes to 9.

2953
01:47:10,262 --> 01:47:13,262
Thank you and costs. Don't

2954
01:47:21,107 --> 01:47:22,842
believe the photos. Well, good

2955
01:47:22,842 --> 01:47:23,509
evening. I'm trying to do a

2956
01:47:23,509 --> 01:47:25,110
mic check. Can you hear me?

2957
01:47:25,110 --> 01:47:25,445
Yes, ma'am. We can hear. All

2958
01:47:25,445 --> 01:47:27,130
right. Good.

2959
01:47:27,130 --> 01:47:31,213
>> My name is and cook and it

2960
01:47:31,484 --> 01:47:33,353
is pronounced cook. I am a

2961
01:47:33,353 --> 01:47:35,753
recent resident of the

2962
01:47:36,156 --> 01:47:38,558
Jacksonville area. I am at 45

2963
01:47:38,558 --> 01:47:39,860
48 Monday drive. I am too

2964
01:47:39,860 --> 01:47:42,260
driveways. Way from this

2965
01:47:42,695 --> 01:47:44,695
proposed development. I've

2966
01:47:45,665 --> 01:47:46,600
been listening in somewhat

2967
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:47,434
disheartening and by this

2968
01:47:47,434 --> 01:47:49,834
problem that Jacksonville is

2969
01:47:51,872 --> 01:47:52,472
facing with developers. Along

2970
01:47:52,472 --> 01:47:55,472
with with what Tori has

2971
01:47:56,911 --> 01:48:00,511
already said. We have. A small

2972
01:48:04,685 --> 01:48:05,719
community. 57, 59 homes and we

2973
01:48:05,719 --> 01:48:07,210
have a developer who wants to

2974
01:48:07,210 --> 01:48:10,621
change. He was asked for a

2975
01:48:13,561 --> 01:48:17,161
waiver to change our our our

2976
01:48:17,164 --> 01:48:18,399
frontage requirement from 144

2977
01:48:18,399 --> 01:48:19,968
feet. Well, arc. They're

2978
01:48:19,968 --> 01:48:21,635
changing it from 100. And 44

2979
01:48:21,635 --> 01:48:23,671
to 0. But we are already zoned

2980
01:48:23,671 --> 01:48:26,710
in and Rld 90. Zoning

2981
01:48:29,277 --> 01:48:29,944
district. As we've talked with

2982
01:48:29,944 --> 01:48:33,544
people about what we can do

2983
01:48:34,182 --> 01:48:34,882
about this issue. We've been

2984
01:48:34,882 --> 01:48:35,550
told you have to have facts.

2985
01:48:35,550 --> 01:48:38,353
You have to have fact. You

2986
01:48:38,353 --> 01:48:39,530
have to have facts. Well, I

2987
01:48:39,530 --> 01:48:41,560
want to add something to the

2988
01:48:41,560 --> 01:48:43,250
idea of having facts. Let's

2989
01:48:43,250 --> 01:48:46,625
apply a little bit of common

2990
01:48:52,534 --> 01:48:53,902
sense to what's going on here.

2991
01:48:53,902 --> 01:48:55,902
Changing frontage requirement

2992
01:48:56,380 --> 01:48:59,638
in this instance. Opens up a

2993
01:49:00,509 --> 01:49:02,509
precedent. For multiple

2994
01:49:03,812 --> 01:49:06,212
applications. Waivers in our

2995
01:49:07,750 --> 01:49:10,186
community. And as I've counted

2996
01:49:10,186 --> 01:49:11,187
it, at least 8 additional

2997
01:49:11,187 --> 01:49:14,187
homes could going besides the

2998
01:49:14,523 --> 01:49:15,224
3 that they're talking about

2999
01:49:15,224 --> 01:49:17,593
and my property is one of the

3000
01:49:17,593 --> 01:49:19,495
ones where this could happen.

3001
01:49:19,495 --> 01:49:21,297
I think that this is a

3002
01:49:21,297 --> 01:49:23,199
dangerous precedent. I think

3003
01:49:23,199 --> 01:49:23,899
that zoning and a

3004
01:49:23,899 --> 01:49:25,568
comprehensive plan we're made

3005
01:49:25,568 --> 01:49:28,568
for this neighborhood. For a

3006
01:49:29,905 --> 01:49:32,305
reason. And that issuing

3007
01:49:35,278 --> 01:49:37,446
waivers will erode. The trust

3008
01:49:37,446 --> 01:49:40,446
that that our neighbors have

3009
01:49:40,516 --> 01:49:43,516
in the local government. If

3010
01:49:45,555 --> 01:49:46,455
zoning appears to be optional.

3011
01:49:46,455 --> 01:49:48,391
A variance should only be for

3012
01:49:48,391 --> 01:49:51,391
a physical condition of the

3013
01:49:51,794 --> 01:49:52,463
land and not for the subject

3014
01:49:52,463 --> 01:49:55,463
and desire of an individual

3015
01:49:56,699 --> 01:49:57,767
potential purchaser. Now, one

3016
01:49:57,767 --> 01:49:59,669
other issue on my mind that

3017
01:49:59,669 --> 01:50:00,537
has not come up yet about our

3018
01:50:00,537 --> 01:50:03,537
neighborhood is that we have

3019
01:50:04,108 --> 01:50:04,641
very narrow streets. We do not

3020
01:50:04,641 --> 01:50:05,408
park the way other

3021
01:50:05,408 --> 01:50:07,408
neighborhoods have in

3022
01:50:07,945 --> 01:50:10,800
Jacksonville and we do not

3023
01:50:10,800 --> 01:50:10,747
have sidewalks. So that means

3024
01:50:10,747 --> 01:50:12,850
that everyone is walking on

3025
01:50:12,850 --> 01:50:15,486
the street. We have elderly

3026
01:50:15,486 --> 01:50:17,488
people, my husband, Walker, we

3027
01:50:17,488 --> 01:50:19,230
have children. We have pets.

3028
01:50:19,230 --> 01:50:20,257
Our street is very, very

3029
01:50:20,257 --> 01:50:23,257
active. And with thank you,

3030
01:50:24,128 --> 01:50:24,829
ma'am.

3031
01:50:24,829 --> 01:50:26,297
>> Councilmember early would

3032
01:50:26,297 --> 01:50:28,980

ordinance. And, you know, we

3139
01:55:00,244 --> 01:55:02,644
just also created 2026 triple

3140
01:55:03,248 --> 01:55:06,151
low for. You know, which is no

3141
01:55:06,151 --> 01:55:09,151
other parks trust fund. And,

3142
01:55:09,154 --> 01:55:11,923
you again. You know, fishing

3143
01:55:11,923 --> 01:55:13,625
with crady on this one. You

3144
01:55:13,625 --> 01:55:16,194
know, again, when you look at

3145
01:55:16,194 --> 01:55:18,263
the $35,000 and here we have

3146
01:55:18,263 --> 01:55:19,464
120 grand, money's flowing

3147
01:55:19,464 --> 01:55:20,399
everywhere. There's going to

3148
01:55:20,399 --> 01:55:21,990
be another piece of

3149
01:55:21,990 --> 01:55:23,268
legislation. There's a whole

3150
01:55:23,268 --> 01:55:25,370
bunch of pieces of legislation

3151
01:55:25,370 --> 01:55:27,390
that will be just talking to

3152
01:55:27,390 --> 01:55:27,773
rate here. But this

3153
01:55:27,773 --> 01:55:29,207
appropriation, you know, don't

3154
01:55:29,207 --> 01:55:32,807
get me wrong. You know, it's

3155
01:55:33,110 --> 01:55:35,915
tourism. I support it. But at

3156
01:55:35,915 --> 01:55:37,950
the same time, let's really

3157
01:55:37,950 --> 01:55:40,350
just start. You know,

3158
01:55:43,222 --> 01:55:44,891
realizing. That issue. With

3159
01:55:44,891 --> 01:55:47,260
fishing with the George Crady

3160
01:55:47,260 --> 01:55:49,426
Beverage, Nassau and Duval.

3161
01:55:51,364 --> 01:55:54,467
You right now it's going to

3162
01:55:54,467 --> 01:55:58,670
come it should be this hard.

3163
01:55:58,337 --> 01:55:59,339
So anyway, just down to a

3164
01:55:59,339 --> 01:56:00,400

information on file the least

3182
01:56:40,815 --> 01:56:42,650
the citizens can do is extend

3183
01:56:42,650 --> 01:56:45,500
mercy to the desperate

3184
01:56:46,220 --> 01:56:48,255
mothers. Find themselves that

3185
01:56:48,255 --> 01:56:50,325
they cannot prove provide for

3186
01:56:50,325 --> 01:56:51,250
their newborns, the suffering

3187
01:56:51,250 --> 01:56:52,927

punishment. This is the only

3193
01:57:02,503 --> 01:57:03,505
option rather than expecting

3194
01:57:03,505 --> 01:57:06,174
these mothers to abandon their

3195
01:57:06,174 --> 01:57:07,876
newborns to ments or worse,

3196
01:57:07,876 --> 01:57:09,844

File. First of all, I want to

3201
01:57:25,227 --> 01:57:27,229
apologize for not being

3202
01:57:27,229 --> 01:57:27,896
prepared to have extensive

3203
01:57:27,896 --> 01:57:28,597
comments on this today have

3204
01:57:28,597 --> 01:57:29,998
just been too busy with this

3205
01:57:29,998 --> 01:57:32,998
other nonsense deal with. I

3206
01:57:33,100 --> 01:57:34,300
want to thank. COUNCILMAN

3207
01:57:34,300 --> 01:57:36,272
Diamond for this bill. He's

3208
01:57:36,272 --> 01:57:39,872
put out. He's got another one

3209
01:57:40,242 --> 01:57:43,450
is putting up. If there's it

3210
01:57:43,450 --> 01:57:44,120
documents he demonstrates.

3211
01:57:44,120 --> 01:57:48,212
That he has a great value for

3212
01:57:48,483 --> 01:57:49,651
human life. We see unborn

3213
01:57:49,651 --> 01:57:52,510
children and newly born

3214
01:57:52,321 --> 01:57:54,223
children. I just there's no

3215
01:57:54,223 --> 01:57:56,623
respect for them anymore.

3216
01:57:57,360 --> 01:58:00,360
That's where culture is gone.

3217
01:58:03,232 --> 01:58:03,933
Hi, there was a a tv news

3218
01:58:03,933 --> 01:58:06,933
reported last week where the

3219
01:58:07,670 --> 01:58:09,471
17 year-old girl. I had a

3220
01:58:09,471 --> 01:58:10,573
child, bath in the bathroom

3221
01:58:10,573 --> 01:58:14,711
and left a child to drown in

3222
01:58:14,711 --> 01:58:18,311
the toilet. I just hope and

3223
01:58:20,820 --> 01:58:22,284
pray. That you all passes

3224
01:58:22,284 --> 01:58:23,520
unanimously. I hope and pray

3225
01:58:23,520 --> 01:58:23,786
each one of you will get on

3226
01:58:23,786 --> 01:58:26,186
board and co-sponsor this

3227
01:58:26,189 --> 01:58:28,189
unanimously. With COUNCILMAN

3228
01:58:28,525 --> 01:58:31,525
Diamond. And I hope points

3229
01:58:31,995 --> 01:58:33,396
once you get this done, that

3230
01:58:33,396 --> 01:58:36,396
you undertake a significant a

3231
01:58:36,666 --> 01:58:37,366
serious effort to share this

3232
01:58:37,366 --> 01:58:40,366
with the city of Jacksonville

3233
01:58:41,137 --> 01:58:44,737
with the places. The women who

3234
01:58:46,810 --> 01:58:47,411
are hopeless. Also hope that

3235
01:58:47,411 --> 01:58:49,411
places around abortion

3236
01:58:50,848 --> 01:58:51,681
clinics. As many times women

3237
01:58:51,681 --> 01:58:54,810
have abortions because they

3238
01:58:54,718 --> 01:58:58,788
see nothing. No way to to to

3239
01:58:58,788 --> 01:58:59,857
to do with the situation. We

3240
01:58:59,857 --> 01:59:01,892
have to save lives. We have to

3241
01:59:01,892 --> 01:59:02,592
put more value on the unborn.

3242
01:59:02,592 --> 01:59:05,462
Children have put more value.

3243
01:59:05,462 --> 01:59:07,864
Children. Our children are the

3244
01:59:07,864 --> 01:59:08,598
future of the city. Our

3245
01:59:08,598 --> 01:59:12,198
children are the future of the

3246
01:59:12,336 --> 01:59:15,336
state. Future of this nation.

3247
01:59:16,674 --> 01:59:17,508
We have to take this step.

3248
01:59:17,508 --> 01:59:18,175
Please do the right thing. And

3249
01:59:18,175 --> 01:59:18,876

Right now we're going to

3283
02:00:48,767 --> 02:00:49,501
from the Jax Recreation,

using that 6 properties and

3287
02:00:56,475 --> 02:01:00,750
where I'm going with it again.

3288
02:01:00,313 --> 02:01:02,713
Fwc. Fish Wildlife Commission.

3289
02:01:03,115 --> 02:01:06,115
Fishing with Crady. The George

3290
02:01:06,219 --> 02:01:08,121
Crady Bridge. And the reason

3291
02:01:08,121 --> 02:01:11,721
I'm speaking on this, you were

3292
02:01:12,759 --> 02:01:13,460
creating another park. This

3293
02:01:13,460 --> 02:01:17,660
one is going to be a passive

3294
02:01:21,200 --> 02:01:23,600
park. The George Crady.

3295
02:01:28,307 --> 02:01:30,707
Fishing Bridge is. Recreation.

3296
02:01:31,377 --> 02:01:32,111
And that is really what is

3297
02:01:32,111 --> 02:01:34,111
needed throughout Duval

3298
02:01:38,510 --> 02:01:38,685
County. We have last city

3299
02:01:38,685 --> 02:01:40,685
council meeting spoken

02:01:40,988 --> 02:01:42,988
Twenty-twenty 6, 0, 0, 2, 4,

acres and defense and that one

3303
02:01:51,832 --> 02:01:54,832
in. And again, dozens of

3304
02:01:55,936 --> 02:01:56,603
examples that I can just.

3305
02:01:56,603 --> 02:01:57,304
Because when people say to

3306
02:01:57,304 --> 02:01:58,400
noon, we're getting all this

3307
02:01:58,400 --> 02:02:00,404
public access. We're getting

3308
02:02:02,843 --> 02:02:04,712
crushed. Yeah. So anyway. As

3309
02:02:04,712 --> 02:02:08,912
far as this just down to a

3310
02:02:14,422 --> 02:02:17,190
minute. And again. We knew

3311
02:02:17,190 --> 02:02:20,790
just think of these numbers in

3312
02:02:22,963 --> 02:02:24,640
the countless examples. Where

3313
02:02:24,640 --> 02:02:27,640
you know, fishing with Crady

3314
02:02:29,204 --> 02:02:32,173
35 k. On the Duval side for

3315
02:02:32,173 --> 02:02:32,740
not meeting our funding

3316
02:02:32,740 --> 02:02:34,740
requirements for the

3317
02:02:35,409 --> 02:02:36,760
maintenance. That's it. And so

3318
02:02:36,760 --> 02:02:39,676
now you've got a padlock up

3319
02:02:40,415 --> 02:02:43,251
there. So we got millions with

3320
02:02:43,251 --> 02:02:45,219
tree stuff. Now we've got. You

3321
02:02:45,219 --> 02:02:47,210
continued rusting from the

3322
02:02:47,210 --> 02:02:48,656
bill. Okay. Well, the

3323
02:02:48,656 --> 02:02:49,324
recreation Environmental Land

3324
02:02:49,324 --> 02:02:50,925
acquisition fund. You know

3325
02:02:50,925 --> 02:02:51,726
what? How about some money for

3326
02:02:51,726 --> 02:02:54,726
that? You know, to fishing

3327
02:02:55,663 --> 02:02:57,799
with Grady? But again, I don't

3328
02:02:57,799 --> 02:03:00,702
know how much is left in that

3329
02:03:00,702 --> 02:03:03,702
fund. But instead of passive,

3330
02:03:04,720 --> 02:03:05,440
you know, lets you fwc make it

3331
02:03:05,440 --> 02:03:07,840
active. And so it's

3332
02:03:07,943 --> 02:03:08,543
neighborhoods and finance.

3333
02:03:08,543 --> 02:03:11,543
Thank u next MISS Celie

3334
02:03:15,851 --> 02:03:17,851
Barnes.

3335
02:03:17,986 --> 02:03:18,620
>> I know again, my name is

3336
02:03:18,620 --> 02:03:21,620
Sally Barnes. I'm here in

3337
02:03:22,558 --> 02:03:23,426
support of that. Instead of

3338
02:03:23,426 --> 02:03:26,426
just heard about this part.

3339
02:03:27,429 --> 02:03:29,829
That's coming up development

3340
02:03:30,432 --> 02:03:31,466
now and cars and trucks on the

3341
02:03:31,466 --> 02:03:34,102
road. Any place that can get a

3342
02:03:34,102 --> 02:03:35,404
kid out of the street into a

3343
02:03:35,404 --> 02:03:37,804
safe environment where they

3344
02:03:38,808 --> 02:03:41,777
can play and be kids. I I

3345
02:03:41,777 --> 02:03:42,378
think it's it's it's a given.

3346
02:03:42,378 --> 02:03:45,378
I fished on that breach

3347
02:03:46,148 --> 02:03:46,849
before. But you got the

3348
02:03:46,849 --> 02:03:48,918
structure on the street. Now

3349
02:03:48,918 --> 02:03:49,919
they don't respect to traffic

3350
02:03:49,919 --> 02:03:50,653
laws. They come to residential

3351
02:03:50,653 --> 02:03:53,653
areas. De speeding, all county

3352
02:03:53,890 --> 02:03:54,590
staff out there. Little kids

3353
02:03:54,590 --> 02:03:56,258
at whatever park they need a

3354
02:03:56,258 --> 02:03:57,760
place to play. Then you

3355
02:03:57,760 --> 02:03:59,261
someplace off the street

3356
02:03:59,261 --> 02:04:02,698
instead of in the street. That

3357
02:04:02,698 --> 02:04:04,567
could get hit. 70's Ps. Don't

3358
02:04:04,567 --> 02:04:06,802
have some of these kids. Don't

3359
02:04:06,802 --> 02:04:07,503
have parents that govern their

3360
02:04:07,503 --> 02:04:08,237
that these little kids wander

3361
02:04:08,237 --> 02:04:11,837
off anywhere. But if there's a

3362
02:04:12,175 --> 02:04:12,842
safe place to play a park,

3363
02:04:12,842 --> 02:04:13,543
what these kids go and play

3364
02:04:13,543 --> 02:04:15,278
and have Anyone that wants to

3365
02:04:15,278 --> 02:04:17,914
go to a park and have fun. I'm

3366
02:04:17,914 --> 02:04:19,248
asking you to pass this

3367
02:04:19,248 --> 02:04:20,316
because we need more of that.

3368
02:04:20,316 --> 02:04:21,385
We got too much traffic as it

3369
02:04:21,385 --> 02:04:22,552
is. We got too many people

3370
02:04:22,552 --> 02:04:25,552
drive in looking at their

3371
02:04:25,722 --> 02:04:28,358
phones and these kids waiting

3372
02:04:28,358 --> 02:04:28,992
at a bus stop to go to school.

3373
02:04:28,992 --> 02:04:30,794
A win at an afternoon was

3374
02:04:30,794 --> 02:04:31,828
right around no place to play

3375
02:04:31,828 --> 02:04:33,563
a park I say is welcome any

3376
02:04:33,563 --> 02:04:37,163
time. I don't drink. I don't

3377
02:04:37,600 --> 02:04:38,268
do drugs. I don't do it. My

3378
02:04:38,268 --> 02:04:41,268
apple. How is the caffeine

3379
02:04:41,838 --> 02:04:42,606
free coal? But these people on

3380
02:04:42,606 --> 02:04:45,606
trucks with their state falls

3381
02:04:46,577 --> 02:04:49,577
like Putin truck trailer down

3382
02:04:50,547 --> 02:04:51,615
a residential area. They come

3383
02:04:51,615 --> 02:04:53,183
down to please get in on they

3384
02:04:53,183 --> 02:04:53,817
going to not the area and come

3385
02:04:53,817 --> 02:04:54,485
down another residential

3386
02:04:54,485 --> 02:04:57,485
street to get where they're

3387
02:04:57,654 --> 02:04:58,355
going? We got on the street.

3388
02:04:58,355 --> 02:05:01,192
Little kids stand by my house

3389
02:05:01,192 --> 02:05:01,892
at a bus stop. They plan out

3390
02:05:01,892 --> 02:05:03,894
there. These cars comes being

3391
02:05:03,894 --> 02:05:06,970
back. That's not stop that.

3392
02:05:06,970 --> 02:05:07,498
Well, breaking a play if they

3393
02:05:07,498 --> 02:05:10,467
don't have a part to go to.

3394
02:05:10,467 --> 02:05:12,690
I'm asking you, if you would

3395
02:05:12,690 --> 02:05:14,137
past this, not just for but

3396
02:05:14,137 --> 02:05:17,137
for the young people that

3397
02:05:18,442 --> 02:05:22,213
knife so it's a place to play

3398
02:05:22,213 --> 02:05:22,880
just to go look and be with

3399
02:05:22,880 --> 02:05:23,547
their friends out there off

3400
02:05:23,547 --> 02:05:26,547
the street where all these

3401
02:05:27,384 --> 02:05:28,519
crazy people are. Thank you.

3402
02:05:28,519 --> 02:05:29,186
>> Thank you, Speaker cards,

3403
02:05:29,186 --> 02:05:30,488
public hearings close that

3404
02:05:30,488 --> 02:05:31,555
time for public hearings on

3405
02:05:31,555 --> 02:05:33,291
land use amendment and certain

3406
02:05:33,291 --> 02:05:35,691
companion rezoning start with

3407
02:05:36,527 --> 02:05:37,195
item. 44 2026, 0, 0, 0, 6,

3408
02:05:37,195 --> 02:05:37,862
I've said the speaker cards

3409
02:05:37,862 --> 02:05:38,563
for this. If you're here to

3410
02:05:38,563 --> 02:05:41,166
speak on this bill, go ahead

3411
02:05:41,166 --> 02:05:42,733
and come on down, drive in

3412
02:05:42,733 --> 02:05:45,133
Beloit. James matches Samantha

3413
02:05:46,304 --> 02:05:46,971
Series Wells Todd Bobbie

3414
02:05:46,971 --> 02:05:49,140
o'Connor, that I have to do

3415
02:05:49,140 --> 02:05:52,740
not wish to speak. Leo Dawson

3416
02:05:53,111 --> 02:05:54,879
and Jamie Travis Leonard, they

3417
02:05:54,879 --> 02:05:55,546
both oppose this legislation.

3418
02:05:55,546 --> 02:05:59,146
So I see MISS Series about

3419
02:06:00,885 --> 02:06:01,586
you. Come a serious.

3420
02:06:01,586 --> 02:06:02,254
>> Samantha Series address on

3421
02:06:02,254 --> 02:06:05,854
file. I'm just here to say

3422
02:06:06,224 --> 02:06:06,925
that I do oppose this proposed

3423
02:06:06,925 --> 02:06:08,793
small-scale amendment to the

3424
02:06:08,793 --> 02:06:09,628
fun series of the 2045 Comp

3425
02:06:09,628 --> 02:06:13,828
plan. This area is more of a

3426
02:06:14,466 --> 02:06:15,100
role. Designated area. I think

3427
02:06:15,100 --> 02:06:17,502
it should stay in the ldr

3428
02:06:17,502 --> 02:06:18,303
believe the developer. That is

3429
02:06:18,303 --> 02:06:19,771
attempting to purchase this

3430
02:06:19,771 --> 02:06:22,771
land can make enough money

3431
02:06:24,810 --> 02:06:25,677
with an l DR. So, you know.

3432
02:06:25,677 --> 02:06:28,814
Many of the people are against

3433
02:06:28,814 --> 02:06:30,916
this in this neighborhood and

3434
02:06:30,916 --> 02:06:31,617
I know this is going to

3435
02:06:31,617 --> 02:06:33,853
continue to APRIL 14th, but I

3436
02:06:33,853 --> 02:06:34,587
will not be here. So that's

3437
02:06:34,587 --> 02:06:38,357
why I want to come and talk to

3438
02:06:38,357 --> 02:06:38,991
you that, you know, they do

3439
02:06:38,991 --> 02:06:39,692
oppose it. I oppose it. I

3440
02:06:39,692 --> 02:06:42,929
think we need to keep some of

3441
02:06:42,929 --> 02:06:44,163
the rural and rural, you know,

3442
02:06:44,163 --> 02:06:46,799
it's supposed to be divers.

3443
02:06:46,799 --> 02:06:48,600
And if we only have

3444
02:06:48,600 --> 02:06:49,335
high-density areas, that's not

3445
02:06:49,335 --> 02:06:52,335
diversity. You are just making

3446
02:06:52,672 --> 02:06:54,600
high density. So I think it's

3447
02:06:54,600 --> 02:06:54,740
important that we do keep some

3448
02:06:54,740 --> 02:06:57,343
areas available for people who

3449
02:06:57,343 --> 02:06:59,813
want to purchase more land

3450
02:06:59,813 --> 02:07:00,113
rather than a small lot. Thank

3451
02:07:00,113 --> 02:07:00,713
you.

3452
02:07:00,713 --> 02:07:02,581
>> Thank you. As James

3453
02:07:02,581 --> 02:07:04,981
mentioned out there still.

3454
02:07:07,320 --> 02:07:09,889
Okay. He opposes this. Well,

3455
02:07:09,889 --> 02:07:11,858
Also opposes Bobby o'Connor.

3456
02:07:11,858 --> 02:07:14,858
Also opposes. And drag in

3457
02:07:15,940 --> 02:07:17,931
Beloit. Also opposes have no

3458
02:07:17,931 --> 02:07:18,665
more speaker cards.

3459
02:07:18,665 --> 02:07:21,650
>> Public hearing is continue

3460
02:07:24,571 --> 02:07:25,905
till 4, 14.6 now on Page 99.

3461
02:07:25,905 --> 02:07:27,474
45 2026? 0, 0, 0, 7. I have

3462
02:07:27,474 --> 02:07:30,430
the same. I believe the same 7

3463
02:07:30,430 --> 02:07:30,810
speaker cards. So go ahead and

3464
02:07:30,810 --> 02:07:31,611
read them.

3465
02:07:31,611 --> 02:07:32,980
>> Well, Todd Samantha Series,

3466
02:07:32,980 --> 02:07:33,680
James matchup, Bobby o'Connor,

3467
02:07:33,680 --> 02:07:37,280
Dragon Beloit. Do you wish to

3468
02:07:38,285 --> 02:07:39,419
speak?

3469
02:07:39,419 --> 02:07:40,754
>> And then Leo Dawson and

3470
02:07:40,754 --> 02:07:41,588
Jamie Travis Leonard oppose,

3471
02:07:41,588 --> 02:07:42,289
but do not wish to speak.

3472
02:07:42,289 --> 02:07:44,258
Series to do was speak again

3473
02:07:44,258 --> 02:07:45,590
on this one.

3474
02:07:45,590 --> 02:07:45,926
>> Go ahead. Real quick,

3475
02:07:45,926 --> 02:07:48,326
Samantha Series address on

3476
02:07:48,996 --> 02:07:49,696
file. I know this is for the

3477
02:07:49,696 --> 02:07:52,320
rezoning part. So I just want

3478
02:07:52,320 --> 02:07:53,100
to speak to that for the pd.

3479
02:07:53,100 --> 02:07:56,100
They are attempting to do 30

3480
02:07:56,369 --> 02:07:58,105
foot and 40 foot lots. We

3481
02:07:58,105 --> 02:08:00,274
don't updated site plan. But

3482
02:08:00,274 --> 02:08:01,742
the original site plan was 30

3483
02:08:01,742 --> 02:08:04,142
foot. Lots 89 units in 9

3484
02:08:06,514 --> 02:08:08,616
acres. That's tight. So they

3485
02:08:08,616 --> 02:08:09,350
did agree to possibly do some

3486
02:08:09,350 --> 02:08:12,453
40 foot lots, maybe add like a

3487
02:08:12,453 --> 02:08:14,288
little lot of green space. But

3488
02:08:14,288 --> 02:08:15,456
at this point, it's still not

3489
02:08:15,456 --> 02:08:17,291
compatible. If you look on the

3490
02:08:17,291 --> 02:08:19,291
Jacksonville property

3491
02:08:19,493 --> 02:08:22,493
appraiser, the closest in the

3492
02:08:24,432 --> 02:08:28,320
most REITs like the city of

3493
02:08:28,769 --> 02:08:30,705
this area, this 9 acres, the

3494
02:08:30,705 --> 02:08:31,306
smallest lot, according to the

3495
02:08:31,306 --> 02:08:33,306
Jacksonville property.

3496
02:08:34,242 --> 02:08:35,677
Appraiser is 0.1 acres that 66

3497
02:08:35,677 --> 02:08:37,440
feet, the residents of that

3498
02:08:37,440 --> 02:08:37,746
area said that they would

3499
02:08:37,746 --> 02:08:40,746
agree to 60 foot lots because

3500
02:08:41,182 --> 02:08:43,180
obviously that would cut this

3501
02:08:43,180 --> 02:08:45,253
in half. The amount of units

3502
02:08:45,253 --> 02:08:46,888
allowed. So if you look at

3503
02:08:46,888 --> 02:08:47,622
does not match the area to

3504
02:08:47,622 --> 02:08:51,222
have a pg for 30 foot, 40 foot

3505
02:08:51,660 --> 02:08:53,762
lots. It's just not compatible

3506
02:08:53,762 --> 02:08:54,496
and even the planning

3507
02:08:54,496 --> 02:08:56,731
department recommended to deny

3508
02:08:56,731 --> 02:08:57,365
this and they rarely recommend

3509
02:08:57,365 --> 02:08:58,670
things to be denied. So I

3510
02:08:58,670 --> 02:09:00,768
think it's important that we

3511
02:09:00,768 --> 02:09:01,437
kind of look at that and the

3512
02:09:01,437 --> 02:09:03,837
fact that these 30 foot, 40

3513
02:09:05,306 --> 02:09:06,700
foot, lots do not. Comply with

3514
02:09:06,700 --> 02:09:08,210
the area. And it is important

3515
02:09:08,210 --> 02:09:09,444
that we take in interest in

3516
02:09:09,444 --> 02:09:13,440
making sure that we keep these

3517
02:09:13,548 --> 02:09:14,216
areas. The way that they're

3518
02:09:14,216 --> 02:09:17,816
supposed to be zoned in the

3519
02:09:17,953 --> 02:09:18,620
way that there should be

3520
02:09:18,620 --> 02:09:19,354
developed in a responsible

3521
02:09:19,354 --> 02:09:20,550
manner rather than just trying

3522
02:09:20,550 --> 02:09:23,292
to stuff people in there. And

3523
02:09:23,292 --> 02:09:25,692
then. Charge people 300 to

3524
02:09:27,129 --> 02:09:29,980
$350,000 for these properties

3525
02:09:29,980 --> 02:09:29,832
and we all know what's going

3526
02:09:29,832 --> 02:09:31,000
to happen is they're not going

3527
02:09:31,000 --> 02:09:32,734
to sell and corporations going

3528
02:09:32,734 --> 02:09:35,734
to start managing Them Inc,

3529
02:09:35,938 --> 02:09:36,605
put them for rent. So the

3530
02:09:36,605 --> 02:09:39,605
residents do not agree with

3531
02:09:40,342 --> 02:09:42,211
this and if the developer 64

3532
02:09:42,211 --> 02:09:43,412
loss, they would have agreed

3533
02:09:43,412 --> 02:09:44,480
to that. So, you know, it's

3534
02:09:44,480 --> 02:09:46,816
important that we look at the

3535
02:09:46,816 --> 02:09:48,484
exact area and the property

3536
02:09:48,484 --> 02:09:50,787
appraiser. You can look on

3537
02:09:50,787 --> 02:09:51,788
their self. The smallest lot

3538
02:09:51,788 --> 02:09:52,488
of rounds 0.1 acres and that

3539
02:09:52,488 --> 02:09:53,222
66 feet. So I think we should

3540
02:09:53,222 --> 02:09:55,622
do something that's compatible

3541
02:09:57,927 --> 02:09:59,996
with that. Thank you. Thank I

3542

3652
02:14:10,284 --> 02:14:12,684
Councilmembers. My name is

3653
02:14:15,556 --> 02:14:16,223
Jamie Travis Leonard. I oppose

3654
02:14:16,223 --> 02:14:18,223
26 1, 2, 3, as it currently

3655
02:14:20,461 --> 02:14:24,610
is. I agree. North Sea packs.

3656
02:14:25,333 --> 02:14:26,000
Objection to the lot sizes.

3657
02:14:26,000 --> 02:14:27,568
>> Quote, the small lots do

3658
02:14:27,568 --> 02:14:29,504
not lend themselves well to a

3659
02:14:29,504 --> 02:14:31,206
family dwelling in terms of

3660
02:14:31,206 --> 02:14:31,907
space for activities, mobile

3661
02:14:31,907 --> 02:14:34,675
homes or trailers. For those

3662
02:14:34,675 --> 02:14:35,877
of us who have lived in them.

3663
02:14:35,877 --> 02:14:36,210
>> Can be an affordable

3664
02:14:36,210 --> 02:14:38,210
option.

3665
02:14:39,681 --> 02:14:42,810
>> 4. Consideration as long as

3666
02:14:42,216 --> 02:14:44,616
they're handled with care.

3667
02:14:46,555 --> 02:14:48,955
Within the community. I

3668
02:14:50,659 --> 02:14:51,292
support building. And mobile

3669
02:14:51,292 --> 02:14:53,461
home park in this area. I

3670
02:14:53,461 --> 02:14:54,295
don't support the current

3671
02:14:54,295 --> 02:14:57,295
proposal size because I think

3672
02:14:57,632 --> 02:15:00,320
it is not adequately

3673
02:15:01,637 --> 02:15:04,370
providing. The necessary space

3674
02:15:05,840 --> 02:15:07,142
for a well planned while home

3675
02:15:07,142 --> 02:15:07,910
and the area. And I've come up

3676
02:15:07,910 --> 02:15:08,610
here several times talking

3677
02:15:08,610 --> 02:15:10,145
about affordable housing. So

3678
02:15:10,145 --> 02:15:10,779
this would be a project that

3679
02:15:10,779 --> 02:15:13,179
generally I would support

3680
02:15:13,182 --> 02:15:14,883
because. Mobile homes do tend

3681
02:15:14,883 --> 02:15:17,883
to be more affordable. They

3682
02:15:18,620 --> 02:15:19,421
tend to be more accessible for

3683
02:15:19,421 --> 02:15:20,322
lower-income families, but you

3684
02:15:20,322 --> 02:15:21,256
need to build them right. And

3685
02:15:21,256 --> 02:15:25,456
you need to build them to be

3686
02:15:26,561 --> 02:15:27,129
Holmes. Not a quick cash grab.

3687
02:15:27,129 --> 02:15:29,529
For the trailer park

3688
02:15:30,399 --> 02:15:31,990
management. And I say the

3689
02:15:31,990 --> 02:15:33,936
lived in one and that is not

3690
02:15:33,936 --> 02:15:34,704
an insult. We like to have a

3691
02:15:34,704 --> 02:15:36,400
negative connotation sometimes

3692
02:15:36,400 --> 02:15:38,941
of mobile home parks and I

3693
02:15:38,941 --> 02:15:40,309
will stand for that. All

3694
02:15:40,309 --> 02:15:42,311
right. We have a lot of people

3695
02:15:42,311 --> 02:15:43,279
who live similar style homes.

3696
02:15:43,279 --> 02:15:46,279
Okay. Single line. Double life

3697
02:15:46,549 --> 02:15:50,149
modular. I've lived in all of

3698
02:15:51,821 --> 02:15:52,421
them. I would like which I

3699
02:15:52,421 --> 02:15:55,421
know this has now been

3700
02:15:56,920 --> 02:15:56,793
continued. Because you've

3701
02:15:56,793 --> 02:15:57,493
added another public hearing.

3702
02:15:57,493 --> 02:16:01,297
But I would like to see this

3703
02:16:01,297 --> 02:16:02,866
Justin. So that we are

3704
02:16:02,866 --> 02:16:04,166
adequately serving the

3705
02:16:04,166 --> 02:16:04,967
community and the hopeful

3706
02:16:04,967 --> 02:16:06,970
future residents in this area

3707
02:16:06,970 --> 02:16:09,970
by giving them adequate lot

3708
02:16:11,740 --> 02:16:13,474
sizes. And appropriate homes

3709
02:16:14,100 --> 02:16:14,710
for their families. So they

3710
02:16:14,710 --> 02:16:17,447
can enjoy what the rest of us

3711
02:16:17,447 --> 02:16:19,416
have. Especially on this day

3712
02:16:19,416 --> 02:16:22,118
us, which is a comfortable

3713
02:16:22,118 --> 02:16:26,318
home to live in. And come home

3714
02:16:27,324 --> 02:16:28,240
from come home to thank you.

3715
02:16:28,240 --> 02:16:30,593

3784
02:18:47,498 --> 02:18:49,334
I do one and I wanted to speak

3785
02:18:49,334 --> 02:18:52,271
to this bill simply because

3786
02:18:52,271 --> 02:18:53,204
while I did vote for the bill,

3787
02:18:53,204 --> 02:18:56,800
I wanted to be understood. I I

3788
02:18:56,800 --> 02:18:57,420
appreciate the sentiment, but

3789
02:18:57,420 --> 02:18:57,742
I just this is something I

3790
02:18:57,742 --> 02:19:01,342
said in committee as well as

3791
02:19:01,446 --> 02:19:02,481
make sure that we are ensuring

3792
02:19:02,481 --> 02:19:04,549
I have a belief in our

3793
02:19:04,549 --> 02:19:05,283
committee chairs and also this

3794
02:19:05,283 --> 02:19:05,984
process. And so I just wanted

3795
02:19:05,984 --> 02:19:09,721
to make sure that that I put

3796
02:19:09,721 --> 02:19:10,356
it on record that well, I

3797
02:19:10,356 --> 02:19:11,560
understand the stringent

3798
02:19:11,560 --> 02:19:11,824
nature of what this is. I do

3799
02:19:11,824 --> 02:19:14,824
think there should be some

3800
02:19:15,661 --> 02:19:16,261
flexibility. All of us of the

3801
02:19:16,261 --> 02:19:16,928
life circumstances that

3802
02:19:16,928 --> 02:19:19,928
happens. And I just didn't

3803
02:19:20,299 --> 02:19:21,466
want to be in such a a. A

3804
02:19:21,466 --> 02:19:22,334
tough place where there's no

3805
02:19:22,334 --> 02:19:23,201
flexibility for these

3806
02:19:23,201 --> 02:19:24,837
committee chair. So I do thank

3807
02:19:24,837 --> 02:19:26,906

3808
02:19:26,906 --> 02:19:27,873
bill forward. I did vote for

3809
02:19:27,873 --> 02:19:29,608
it, but I also want to make

3810
02:19:29,608 --> 02:19:30,309
sure that we're doing our part

3811
02:19:30,309 --> 02:19:30,910
to understand that life does

3812
02:19:30,910 --> 02:19:31,577
happen. Thank you, MR.

and opened it up and get the

3862
02:21:01,168 --> 02:21:01,868
ball rolling on it. They were

3863
02:21:01,868 --> 02:21:04,204
asked deposit by the council

3864
02:21:04,204 --> 02:21:07,204
by the administration. Do the

3865
02:21:07,207 --> 02:21:07,908
fact that we just picked up on

3866
02:21:07,908 --> 02:21:08,575
the cba and the workload was

3867
02:21:08,575 --> 02:21:12,175
get a little more than they

3868
02:21:12,545 --> 02:21:14,945
could handle. What council

3869
02:21:16,416 --> 02:21:17,117
would like to see happen then

3870
02:21:17,117 --> 02:21:20,621
pull into space. You can see

3871
02:21:20,621 --> 02:21:21,321
the timeline there. They fully

3872
02:21:21,321 --> 02:21:23,321
anticipate their opportunity

3873
02:21:23,857 --> 02:21:26,927
sometimes in JULY or AUGUST to

3874
02:21:26,927 --> 02:21:28,610
take up the Micro Grant

3875
02:21:28,610 --> 02:21:29,997
program again and by doing so

3876
02:21:29,997 --> 02:21:30,898
then I've got a bill that's

3877
02:21:30,898 --> 02:21:31,599
pending that's going to used

3878
02:21:31,599 --> 02:21:34,101
as a carry over to take that

3879
02:21:34,101 --> 02:21:37,101
or $1000 and move the Michael

3880
02:21:37,271 --> 02:21:38,706
Grant program into next year.

3881
02:21:38,706 --> 02:21:39,807
I say all that because we want

3882
02:21:39,807 --> 02:21:40,641
to make certain that we have

3883
02:21:40,641 --> 02:21:43,641
as much money available for

3884
02:21:44,645 --> 02:21:45,612
the psg grant program this

3885
02:21:45,612 --> 02:21:48,612
past year in the prevention

3886
02:21:49,450 --> 02:21:51,850
category of the. 33 requests.

3887
02:21:51,919 --> 02:21:52,887
18 of them are only fulfilled

3888
02:21:52,887 --> 02:21:55,287
and 9 of those individuals

3889
02:21:55,856 --> 02:21:58,159
hats that we're not filled in

3890
02:21:58,159 --> 02:22:01,759
terms any kind of funding that

3891
02:22:01,963 --> 02:22:04,963
scores of 90 or higher. There

3892
02:22:05,599 --> 02:22:06,501
were 101 applications in total

3893
02:22:06,501 --> 02:22:07,201
representing 11.3 million

3894
02:22:07,201 --> 02:22:09,601
dollars against the 7 million

3895
02:22:11,973 --> 02:22:12,707
dollars. And so my concern and

3896
02:22:12,707 --> 02:22:16,678
my my quest that you vote down

3897
02:22:16,678 --> 02:22:17,378
on the amendment so that we

3898
02:22:17,378 --> 02:22:18,213
recognized back. We're going

3899
02:22:18,213 --> 02:22:18,880
to continue to pump Michael

3900
02:22:18,880 --> 02:22:21,280
Grant program with funding

3901
02:22:21,349 --> 02:22:22,617
from this year into next year.

3902
02:22:22,617 --> 02:22:23,284
So we can take that $200,000

3903
02:22:23,284 --> 02:22:26,284
and applied towards the psg

3904
02:22:26,554 --> 02:22:28,656
programs as we and had to do

3905
02:22:28,656 --> 02:22:29,357
all along and that in the year

3906
02:22:29,357 --> 02:22:31,760
after that, the kitten on the

3907
02:22:31,760 --> 02:22:33,761
part of the psg council is to

3908
02:22:33,761 --> 02:22:35,764
continue with a micro grant

3909
02:22:35,764 --> 02:22:36,932
program thereafter. So

3910
02:22:36,932 --> 02:22:37,599
encourage you vote down. This

3911
02:22:37,599 --> 02:22:39,568
is the amendment offered by

3912
02:22:39,568 --> 02:22:43,168
the Rules Committee to Cuba at

3913
02:22:46,341 --> 02:22:47,750
35 35 30 so that we can move

3914
02:22:47,750 --> 02:22:47,742
forward with his year with the

3915
02:22:47,742 --> 02:22:48,409
Michael Grant program that

3916
02:22:48,409 --> 02:22:49,378
just use funding from this

3917
02:22:49,378 --> 02:22:53,148
year to do that and then come

3918
02:22:53,148 --> 02:22:54,216
back a year thereafter and

3919
02:22:54,216 --> 02:22:56,885
then put put the percentages

3920
02:22:56,885 --> 02:22:57,485
as you we recommended in the

3921
02:22:57,485 --> 02:22:59,154
rules committee on past

3922
02:22:59,154 --> 02:23:02,224
weekend. Hope I make sure I I

3923
02:23:02,224 --> 02:23:02,891
hope I made that clear and

3924
02:23:02,891 --> 02:23:05,291
appreciate your support in

3925
02:23:05,460 --> 02:23:06,161
voting down this amendment and

3926
02:23:06,161 --> 02:23:08,230
what the recommendation, the

3927
02:23:08,230 --> 02:23:09,331
pga Council. Stan, thank you,

3928
02:23:09,331 --> 02:23:09,965
MR. PRESIDENT. All right.

3929
02:23:09,965 --> 02:23:11,965
Thank PRESIDENT Freeman,

3930
02:23:18,674 --> 02:23:19,941
you're recognized. Thank you,

3931
02:23:19,941 --> 02:23:21,577
MR. PRESIDENT and I was hoping

3932
02:23:21,577 --> 02:23:25,777
I would not have to speak at

3933
02:23:26,314 --> 02:23:26,916
all on this issue. I think is

3934
02:23:26,916 --> 02:23:28,283
the labor did enough in

3935
02:23:28,283 --> 02:23:28,851
committee and I want to thank

3936
02:23:28,851 --> 02:23:30,118
the committee Finance

3937
02:23:30,118 --> 02:23:30,452
Committee for the Good Work

3938
02:23:30,452 --> 02:23:31,186
Day.

3939
02:23:31,186 --> 02:23:31,787
>> They did on this bill and I

3940
02:23:31,787 --> 02:23:34,787
want to thank the Rules

3941
02:23:35,625 --> 02:23:36,225
Committee as well. Let me just

3942
02:23:36,225 --> 02:23:38,625
be sure that everybody

3943
02:23:39,362 --> 02:23:41,297
understands what the amendment

3944
02:23:41,297 --> 02:23:41,964
is was that was imminent

3945
02:23:41,964 --> 02:23:42,631
amendment explain because I

3946
02:23:42,631 --> 02:23:44,300
know there's some center on

3947
02:23:44,300 --> 02:23:46,235
this diet that MAY not have

3948
02:23:46,235 --> 02:23:47,336
heard it. So I want to make

3949
02:23:47,336 --> 02:23:50,336
sure that we understand the

3950
02:23:51,140 --> 02:23:51,840
amendment. That is before us

3951
02:23:51,840 --> 02:23:52,542
right now. MR. The PRESIDENT

3952
02:23:52,542 --> 02:23:53,810
To the PRESIDENT To MISS The

3953
02:23:53,810 --> 02:23:56,145
populace. Can you please share

3954
02:23:56,145 --> 02:23:56,846
with the amendment? Is?

3955
02:23:56,846 --> 02:23:58,815
>> Yes, through the PRESIDENT

3956
02:23:58,815 --> 02:24:00,783
To the council. So the

3957
02:24:00,783 --> 02:24:02,986
amendment would revise the

3958
02:24:02,986 --> 02:24:05,870
bill to now include the Micro

3959
02:24:05,870 --> 02:24:05,788
Grant category as a 4th

3960
02:24:05,788 --> 02:24:08,230
category to be funded in the

3961
02:24:08,230 --> 02:24:11,230
next fiscal year's budget. It

3962
02:24:11,695 --> 02:24:12,362
provides that the percentages

3963
02:24:12,362 --> 02:24:14,130
of funding for each of the

3964
02:24:14,130 --> 02:24:16,732
categories would be as follows

3965
02:24:16,732 --> 02:24:18,934
acute would go from 30% to

3966
02:24:18,934 --> 02:24:20,934
29%. As with 30% was

3967
02:24:21,838 --> 02:24:22,505
originally proposed prevention

3968
02:24:22,505 --> 02:24:25,505
and diversion would go from

3969
02:24:25,609 --> 02:24:26,309
35% to 34% and

3970
02:24:26,309 --> 02:24:28,245
self-sufficiency instability

3971
02:24:28,245 --> 02:24:31,114
would go from 35% to 34% so

3972
02:24:31,114 --> 02:24:31,581
that 3% to go to the Micro

3973
02:24:31,581 --> 02:24:33,383
Grant program.

3974
02:24:33,383 --> 02:24:35,118
>> All right. Thank you. And

3975
02:24:35,118 --> 02:24:35,719
and everyone hasn't heard

3976
02:24:35,719 --> 02:24:37,187
amendment. It would be

3977
02:24:37,187 --> 02:24:37,887
announced went through my

3978
02:24:37,887 --> 02:24:39,422
time. So all I want to simply

3979
02:24:39,422 --> 02:24:44,222
say is this and I just want to

3980
02:24:44,827 --> 02:24:46,597
speak truths. Category d has

3981
02:24:46,597 --> 02:24:47,197
always existed since this body

3982
02:24:47,197 --> 02:24:48,298
to that action based on

3983
02:24:48,298 --> 02:24:50,000
legislation that I passed,

3984
02:24:50,000 --> 02:24:52,735
that I championed many years

3985
02:24:52,735 --> 02:24:54,304
ago. So when you hear that it

3986
02:24:54,304 --> 02:24:57,304
did not exist, that's simply

3987
02:24:58,700 --> 02:25:01,700
not true. Here's another fact.

3988
02:25:01,377 --> 02:25:02,800
Here's another fact. Category

3989
02:25:02,800 --> 02:25:04,781
d is a part of public service

3990
02:25:04,781 --> 02:25:06,716
grants. So when you hear that

3991
02:25:06,716 --> 02:25:07,884
we're taking from public

3992
02:25:07,884 --> 02:25:08,618
service grants, how can take

3993
02:25:08,618 --> 02:25:11,455
from something that is still a

3994
02:25:11,455 --> 02:25:13,423
part of? So it's semantics.

3995
02:25:13,423 --> 02:25:16,827
It's a play on words. And as I

3996
02:25:16,827 --> 02:25:17,561
share with many folks, the

3997
02:25:17,561 --> 02:25:19,429
ultimate goal in the end as we

3998
02:25:19,429 --> 02:25:23,290
want to help people. Simple as

3999
02:25:23,367 --> 02:25:25,269
that. Now to me is a bit

4000
02:25:25,269 --> 02:25:26,370
challenging that in one of the

4001
02:25:26,370 --> 02:25:28,339
efforts that we put forth as a

4002
02:25:28,339 --> 02:25:30,274
body, something and I lead to

4003
02:25:30,274 --> 02:25:30,975
help people when the trust was

4004
02:25:30,975 --> 02:25:31,776
given to the administration.

4005
02:25:31,776 --> 02:25:34,776
Remember, we do policy. They

4006
02:25:35,579 --> 02:25:37,800
execute. We can't force them

4007
02:25:37,800 --> 02:25:39,283
execute. We send money to psg.

4008
02:25:39,283 --> 02:25:42,883
We can't force psg to execute.

4009
02:25:43,540 --> 02:25:43,887
But we sure can. On our side.

4010
02:25:43,887 --> 02:25:47,624
And I will simply say when it

4011
02:25:47,624 --> 02:25:48,325
was sent over to first time

4012
02:25:48,325 --> 02:25:49,427
they didn't execute. What was

4013
02:25:49,427 --> 02:25:51,827
sent over was 200,000 turned

4014
02:25:52,300 --> 02:25:54,430
into a $700,000 Project. What

4015
02:25:55,400 --> 02:25:56,134
was in over the second time?

4016
02:25:56,134 --> 02:25:59,270
That we fought for and believe

4017
02:25:59,270 --> 02:25:59,970
that money is left over. We

4018
02:25:59,970 --> 02:26:01,706
fall for it as a council, not

4019
02:26:01,706 --> 02:26:04,409
not the psg counsel. We did

4020
02:26:04,409 --> 02:26:05,760
led by my actions. It was say

4021
02:26:05,760 --> 02:26:05,743
that it was not going to be

4022
02:26:05,743 --> 02:26:07,345
done in this visit in this

4023
02:26:07,345 --> 02:26:10,345
year. That's fun. We've got

4024
02:26:10,948 --> 02:26:11,649
the money back. And now what

4025
02:26:11,649 --> 02:26:13,551
the Finance Committee did was

4026
02:26:13,551 --> 02:26:15,286
a sure that they have

4027
02:26:15,286 --> 02:26:15,987
backfield. I just maneuvering

4028
02:26:15,987 --> 02:26:18,856
numbers citing numbers by one

4029
02:26:18,856 --> 02:26:21,492
percent. To get to that 3%

4030
02:26:21,492 --> 02:26:24,529
that we got to last year. I

4031
02:26:24,529 --> 02:26:26,929
think it's good legislation.

4032
02:26:27,332 --> 02:26:27,899
And I think you and ask you to

4033
02:26:27,899 --> 02:26:28,467
support them MR. Past

4034
02:26:28,467 --> 02:26:30,467
PRESIDENT, we MISTER

4035
02:26:30,568 --> 02:26:31,536
Councilmember lenient.

4036
02:26:31,536 --> 02:26:32,237
>> Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT

4037
02:26:32,237 --> 02:26:32,971
through the PRESIDENT's plus.

4038
02:26:32,971 --> 02:26:34,706
I was not a committee last

4039
02:26:34,706 --> 02:26:35,707
week. I thought I followed the

4040
02:26:35,707 --> 02:26:38,477
amendment. Correct me if I'm

4041
02:26:38,477 --> 02:26:40,445
wrong, we simply were not

4042
02:26:40,445 --> 02:26:41,146
impacting the total budget

4043
02:26:41,146 --> 02:26:41,813
dollar amount for the psg. We

4044
02:26:41,813 --> 02:26:44,813
simply took one percent off

4045
02:26:46,170 --> 02:26:48,286
the 3 categories and 3% now is

4046
02:26:48,286 --> 02:26:49,954
category If it's Category d

4047
02:26:49,954 --> 02:26:50,656
for whatever is this, the

4048
02:26:50,656 --> 02:26:51,356
Micro Grant program will now

4049
02:26:51,356 --> 02:26:54,426
be 3% of the total bucket of

4050
02:26:54,426 --> 02:26:55,460
money. Is that correct?

4051
02:26:55,460 --> 02:26:56,161
>> Through the council,

4052
02:26:56,161 --> 02:26:57,128
PRESIDENT Council member land

4053
02:26:57,128 --> 02:26:59,231
and yes, that is correct.

4054
02:26:59,231 --> 02:26:59,965
Whatever the total

4055
02:26:59,965 --> 02:27:00,999
appropriation is to the public

4056
02:27:00,999 --> 02:27:01,733
service grant program in

4057
02:27:01,733 --> 02:27:04,235
total, 3% of that would be for

4058
02:27:04,235 --> 02:27:07,235
the micro Grant Thank you.

4059
02:27:08,974 --> 02:27:09,641
>> Alright Councilmember l.

4060
02:27:09,641 --> 02:27:10,375
Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT to

4061
02:27:10,375 --> 02:27:11,760
the PRESIDENT. Is there anyone

4062
02:27:11,760 --> 02:27:11,711
from grand second maybe speak

4063
02:27:11,711 --> 02:27:14,313
to whether or not this is

4064
02:27:14,313 --> 02:27:14,947
going to be? Onerous the

4065
02:27:14,947 --> 02:27:16,616
grants office. And that's

4066
02:27:16,616 --> 02:27:17,283
going to be something that

4067
02:27:17,283 --> 02:27:20,452
he's going to be a problem

4068
02:27:20,452 --> 02:27:21,586
with this new program. Not to

4069
02:27:21,586 --> 02:27:22,287
mention psu didn't ask for it.

4070
02:27:22,287 --> 02:27:23,210
I do kind of feel like I know

4071
02:27:23,210 --> 02:27:24,890
that we have the right kind of

4072
02:27:24,890 --> 02:27:25,591
jump in. But I still want to

4073
02:27:25,591 --> 02:27:28,460
give them their there. We go

4074
02:27:28,460 --> 02:27:29,128
ahead, please. If you don't

4075
02:27:29,128 --> 02:27:29,828
mind is present. You know,

4076
02:27:29,828 --> 02:27:32,828
we're still on the amendment

4077
02:27:33,132 --> 02:27:34,533
to speak to the minute.

4078
02:27:34,533 --> 02:27:36,933
>> Now grants and contract

4079
02:27:38,571 --> 02:27:41,407
compliance division as a chief

4080
02:27:41,407 --> 02:27:43,242
of grants. I am opposed to

4081
02:27:43,242 --> 02:27:45,344
this amendment. The psu

4082
02:27:45,344 --> 02:27:47,280
council members have clearly

4083
02:27:47,280 --> 02:27:48,140
voice that they are opposed to

4084
02:27:48,140 --> 02:27:50,182
this amendment. The reason

4085
02:27:50,182 --> 02:27:52,218
that they did not include a

4086
02:27:52,218 --> 02:27:55,218
Category d this year. We're

4087
02:27:55,488 --> 02:27:57,289
for 2 reasons. One was because

4088
02:27:57,289 --> 02:27:59,191
it was and continues to be

4089
02:27:59,191 --> 02:28:01,591
their intention to implement

4090
02:28:01,727 --> 02:28:02,328
the Michael Grant program

4091
02:28:02,328 --> 02:28:04,728
because of the timeline

4092
02:28:05,832 --> 02:28:08,100
involved for that and the

4093
02:28:08,100 --> 02:28:08,735
delay of a few months, it will

4094
02:28:08,735 --> 02:28:09,435
go into next year. So it is

4095
02:28:09,435 --> 02:28:10,503
not something they intend to

4096
02:28:10,503 --> 02:28:13,372
ask intended to ask for more

4097
02:28:13,372 --> 02:28:15,441
money for next year. The

4098
02:28:15,441 --> 02:28:18,441
second reason was because they

4099
02:28:20,460 --> 02:28:21,147
did not want funds taken from

4100
02:28:21,147 --> 02:28:23,583
psg COUNCILMAN Freemen. I had

4101
02:28:23,583 --> 02:28:26,786
made a commitment to them that

4102
02:28:26,786 --> 02:28:27,454
this would be 0 based as a

4103
02:28:27,454 --> 02:28:28,989
Category d the 2 or 3 years

4104
02:28:28,989 --> 02:28:32,589
that it was listed or created

4105
02:28:32,826 --> 02:28:33,493
as a Category d and that

4106
02:28:33,493 --> 02:28:35,620
funding would not be taken

4107
02:28:35,620 --> 02:28:35,762
from the ps. The public

4108
02:28:35,762 --> 02:28:36,429
service grant, unfortunately,

4109
02:28:36,429 --> 02:28:39,298
that occurred in the fiscal

4110
02:28:39,298 --> 02:28:41,301
year. We're in now the psc

4111
02:28:41,301 --> 02:28:42,269
Council did not want that to

4112
02:28:42,269 --> 02:28:45,869
occur again, which is why they

4113
02:28:46,400 --> 02:28:46,707
made a conscious decision to

4114
02:28:46,707 --> 02:28:47,474
eliminate that, that their

4115
02:28:47,474 --> 02:28:49,509
intent was not to discontinue

4116
02:28:49,509 --> 02:28:51,178
the Michael Grant program. I

4117
02:28:51,178 --> 02:28:52,512
appreciate to the PRESIDENT.

4118
02:28:52,512 --> 02:28:53,246
So my next question is, how

4119
02:28:53,246 --> 02:28:55,615
much with some of these grants

4120
02:28:55,615 --> 02:28:56,316
go for? What's what's the

4121
02:28:56,316 --> 02:28:59,316
garden variety grand for Mike

4122
02:29:00,587 --> 02:29:01,288
ramp up? Up through the chair

4123
02:29:01,288 --> 02:29:03,490
Council incluso you referred

4124
02:29:03,490 --> 02:29:04,558
to the Michael Grants are

4125
02:29:04,558 --> 02:29:06,260
micrograms. Mike, the $20,000.

4126
02:29:06,260 --> 02:29:07,294
So the 200,000 that we

4127
02:29:07,294 --> 02:29:09,263
currently have will be 10

4128
02:29:09,263 --> 02:29:11,198
grants. Maximum U.S. $20,000.

4129
02:29:11,198 --> 02:29:11,832
Each they would be with small

4130
02:29:11,832 --> 02:29:14,232
nonprofits, which take a

4131
02:29:14,435 --> 02:29:15,135
considerable amount of time,

4132
02:29:15,135 --> 02:29:18,710
probably double of the amount

4133
02:29:18,710 --> 02:29:18,772
of time to manage. And that's

4134
02:29:18,772 --> 02:29:19,440
a time as one, Minnesota, the

4135
02:29:19,440 --> 02:29:20,400
body. It's my understanding

4136
02:29:20,400 --> 02:29:23,400
that in week make sure

4137
02:29:23,343 --> 02:29:25,579
recently that we had up.

4138
02:29:25,579 --> 02:29:26,614
Amendment one of our prior

4139
02:29:26,614 --> 02:29:27,315
grant saying that we wouldn't

4140
02:29:27,315 --> 02:29:28,749
go beyond where we would only

4141
02:29:28,749 --> 02:29:31,149
allow for grants up.

4142
02:29:32,587 --> 02:29:33,860
>> At a minimum of $25,000 it

4143
02:29:33,860 --> 02:29:33,787
was my this is my

4144
02:29:33,787 --> 02:29:34,489
understanding that we want to

4145
02:29:34,489 --> 02:29:35,890
make sure that we were going

4146
02:29:35,890 --> 02:29:36,790
to overburden grants with a

4147
02:29:36,790 --> 02:29:38,559
ton of smaller grants that are

4148
02:29:38,559 --> 02:29:39,660
really hard to kind of a

4149
02:29:39,660 --> 02:29:40,394
minister. And so I I believe

4150
02:29:40,394 --> 02:29:42,963
that with a policy decision we

4151
02:29:42,963 --> 02:29:43,697
made the past. It's my

4152
02:29:43,697 --> 02:29:45,599
understanding that if this man

4153
02:29:45,599 --> 02:29:46,600
is going to go through what's

4154
02:29:46,600 --> 02:29:47,301
going to and over right, that

4155
02:29:47,301 --> 02:29:49,470
policy decision that we made

4156
02:29:49,470 --> 02:29:50,137
couple months ago it sounds to

4157
02:29:50,137 --> 02:29:52,173
me like we should vote down

4158
02:29:52,173 --> 02:29:54,242
this amendment. That's what's

4159
02:29:54,242 --> 02:29:57,312
required or ask for them. I

4160
02:29:57,312 --> 02:29:58,346
think the Bills finances.

4161
02:29:58,346 --> 02:29:59,460
Thank you. Thank But recognize

4162
02:29:59,460 --> 02:29:59,747
MISTER Populous to make sure

4163
02:29:59,747 --> 02:30:02,550
that we are factual with our

4164
02:30:02,550 --> 02:30:03,851
discussion.

4165
02:30:03,851 --> 02:30:05,419
>> Through the PRESIDENT To

4166
02:30:05,419 --> 02:30:06,520
council member, please. So I

4167
02:30:06,520 --> 02:30:07,880
believe under the code

4168
02:30:07,880 --> 02:30:08,122
provision that you're

4169
02:30:08,122 --> 02:30:10,192
referring to with respect to

4170
02:30:10,192 --> 02:30:11,159
the minimum of $25,000 was for

4171
02:30:11,159 --> 02:30:13,559
direct appropriations. So that

4172
02:30:13,962 --> 02:30:15,363
doesn't apply to the

4173
02:30:15,363 --> 02:30:16,831
competitively grant Processees

4174
02:30:16,831 --> 02:30:17,498
that are undertaken by psg in

4175
02:30:17,498 --> 02:30:19,898
the other competitive grant

4176
02:30:20,401 --> 02:30:21,436
programs.

4177
02:30:21,436 --> 02:30:22,403
>> Thank you, MR. Papas for

4178
02:30:22,403 --> 02:30:22,971
the clarity. Next. We have

4179
02:30:22,971 --> 02:30:24,971
passed PRESIDENT Matt

4180
02:30:33,782 --> 02:30:37,982
Carlucci. So be a lot a mutual

4181
02:30:38,486 --> 02:30:39,220
understanding about this I

4182
02:30:39,220 --> 02:30:41,122
have to tell you, when I first

4183
02:30:41,122 --> 02:30:42,590
came back on the council 2019,

4184
02:30:42,590 --> 02:30:46,327
us been lot of time with psg

4185
02:30:46,327 --> 02:30:47,610
and I learned one thing. To

4186
02:30:47,610 --> 02:30:50,299
follow the lead of the psg

4187
02:30:50,299 --> 02:30:53,299
council. And if they don't,

4188
02:30:56,104 --> 02:30:56,672
want this amendment. And they

4189
02:30:56,672 --> 02:30:58,941
and they have built a

4190
02:30:58,941 --> 02:31:00,241
consensus on that. Then I'm

4191
02:31:00,241 --> 02:31:02,510
not going to support the

4192
02:31:02,510 --> 02:31:04,213
amendment. I will support the

4193
02:31:04,213 --> 02:31:05,113
direction that they want to

4194
02:31:05,113 --> 02:31:07,849
go. And I think that's the way

4195
02:31:07,849 --> 02:31:08,550
that we should go because they

4196
02:31:08,550 --> 02:31:10,653
are the ones to deal with it.

4197
02:31:10,653 --> 02:31:13,589
They're the ones that have to

4198
02:31:13,589 --> 02:31:15,391
do. The money up and make the

4199
02:31:15,391 --> 02:31:18,391
tough decisions. So I would

4200
02:31:19,940 --> 02:31:19,728
urge you to follow direction.

4201
02:31:19,728 --> 02:31:21,300
Psu grant and the council

4202
02:31:21,300 --> 02:31:24,660
there in the committee. And I

4203
02:31:24,660 --> 02:31:25,734
thank you for taking her

4204
02:31:25,734 --> 02:31:28,734
advice. Thank you for coming

4205
02:31:28,737 --> 02:31:29,405
up. Ensuring that with us.

4206
02:31:29,405 --> 02:31:31,405
Reineck Smith councilmember

4207
02:31:35,177 --> 02:31:35,711
areas. I think you MR.

4208
02:31:35,711 --> 02:31:36,378
PRESIDENT. So this

4209
02:31:36,378 --> 02:31:38,810
conversation came up during

4210
02:31:38,810 --> 02:31:39,782
finance committee last week.

4211
02:31:39,782 --> 02:31:40,482
Obviously.

4212
02:31:40,482 --> 02:31:42,185
>> And here's my takeaway on

4213
02:31:42,185 --> 02:31:42,852
this. When we had this

4214
02:31:42,852 --> 02:31:44,852
conversation during actual

4215
02:31:46,188 --> 02:31:47,457
budget process. We went into

4216
02:31:47,457 --> 02:31:48,691
this fully funding psg,

4217
02:31:48,691 --> 02:31:51,827
keeping at the same as last

4218
02:31:51,827 --> 02:31:53,229
year. The difference was we

4219
02:31:53,229 --> 02:31:54,697
pulled off 200,000 during

4220
02:31:54,697 --> 02:31:56,697
budget hearings, specifically

4221
02:31:57,934 --> 02:31:59,869
for Category b. We had this

4222
02:31:59,869 --> 02:32:02,869
intention from the start. Now,

4223
02:32:03,105 --> 02:32:03,773
I heard from figure on that.

4224
02:32:03,773 --> 02:32:05,908
The intention was to get it

4225
02:32:05,908 --> 02:32:07,843
done. But they couldn't get it

4226
02:32:07,843 --> 02:32:08,878
done. We did our part. We're

4227
02:32:08,878 --> 02:32:11,714
waiting on them to do their

4228
02:32:11,714 --> 02:32:12,715
part. Simple as that. So

4229
02:32:12,715 --> 02:32:13,683
there's nothing crazy

4230
02:32:13,683 --> 02:32:15,317
happening here except for us.

4231
02:32:15,317 --> 02:32:17,987
Just wanting what we committed

4232
02:32:17,987 --> 02:32:19,356
to about 6, 7 months ago. The

4233
02:32:19,356 --> 02:32:20,323
reason was amendment came

4234
02:32:20,323 --> 02:32:21,657
about was because I said this

4235
02:32:21,657 --> 02:32:22,692
is something that we promised

4236
02:32:22,692 --> 02:32:25,295
our community, our city that

4237
02:32:25,295 --> 02:32:28,295
will take care of Michael

4238
02:32:30,500 --> 02:32:31,735
Grants $200,000. How and how

4239
02:32:31,735 --> 02:32:32,735
does it take to fund $200,000

4240
02:32:32,735 --> 02:32:34,837
and psg from 7.2 million

4241
02:32:34,837 --> 02:32:36,372
dollars. Now I get it. It

4242
02:32:36,372 --> 02:32:37,307
might be a little bit

4243
02:32:37,307 --> 02:32:40,307
overbearing from that for the

4244
02:32:41,110 --> 02:32:41,744
staffing point. Part of you.

4245
02:32:41,744 --> 02:32:44,140
But you know, these $20,000 we

4246
02:32:44,140 --> 02:32:45,480
did our part in the budget

4247
02:32:45,480 --> 02:32:45,681
process. We pulled off

4248
02:32:45,681 --> 02:32:46,349
$200,000 specifically for

4249
02:32:46,349 --> 02:32:48,919
this. And now we're saying

4250
02:32:48,919 --> 02:32:49,619
let's take it back. I want to

4251
02:32:49,619 --> 02:32:50,653
say keep the amendment as it

4252
02:32:50,653 --> 02:32:53,723
is. Let's both us up and move

4253
02:32:53,723 --> 02:32:54,323
for next year. Thank you.

4254
02:32:54,323 --> 02:32:56,323
Alright, Councilmember

4255
02:32:59,763 --> 02:33:01,665
Diamond. I think press I was

4256
02:33:01,665 --> 02:33:02,866
in the gap on this one. But

4257
02:33:02,866 --> 02:33:03,600
this is ridiculous. I

4258
02:33:03,600 --> 02:33:04,735
absolutely 100% ridiculous.

4259
02:33:04,735 --> 02:33:06,436
It's job of the city council

4260
02:33:06,436 --> 02:33:07,700
to write policy and decide

4261
02:33:07,700 --> 02:33:07,804
what money we're going to

4262
02:33:07,804 --> 02:33:09,500
spend, right? That's what city

4263
02:33:09,500 --> 02:33:09,672
Council has punt.

4264
02:33:09,672 --> 02:33:11,672
>> Right. Ministration say

4265
02:33:12,109 --> 02:33:13,777
this is hard. Yeah. Like is

4266
02:33:13,777 --> 02:33:15,912
hard. But the reason we have

4267
02:33:15,912 --> 02:33:17,915
micro grants is because big

4268
02:33:17,915 --> 02:33:18,582
nonprofits with big staff come

4269
02:33:18,582 --> 02:33:20,170
in and the goblet Paul, the

4270
02:33:20,170 --> 02:33:20,984
money and it's really hard for

4271
02:33:20,984 --> 02:33:21,618
smaller groups to get it.

4272
02:33:21,618 --> 02:33:23,586
That's the entire purpose

4273
02:33:23,586 --> 02:33:24,288
behind the Michael Grants. I

4274
02:33:24,288 --> 02:33:26,256
personally oppose the entire

4275
02:33:26,256 --> 02:33:28,225
thing in voting against it

4276
02:33:28,225 --> 02:33:28,925
because I think it's not the

4277
02:33:28,925 --> 02:33:31,595
right use of city resources,

4278
02:33:31,595 --> 02:33:32,729
but if you're going to do it

4279
02:33:32,729 --> 02:33:33,363
and you all said you wanted to

4280
02:33:33,363 --> 02:33:35,320
do it and passed a budget

4281
02:33:35,320 --> 02:33:35,699
saying you're going to do it.

4282
02:33:35,699 --> 02:33:37,200
They don't get this. Get up

4283
02:33:37,200 --> 02:33:38,635
here in wine and say I don't

4284
02:33:38,635 --> 02:33:42,235
want it. Sorry. That's the job

4285
02:33:43,674 --> 02:33:44,307
you just do. It. All right.

4286
02:33:44,307 --> 02:33:45,420
When you go back through

4287
02:33:45,420 --> 02:33:46,310
speakers that are in the queue

4288
02:33:46,310 --> 02:33:47,110
for the second time,

4289
02:33:47,110 --> 02:33:49,411
Councilmember Freeman for the

4290
02:33:50,681 --> 02:33:51,348
second time within 2 minutes.

4291
02:33:51,348 --> 02:33:53,170
>> Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT

4292
02:33:53,170 --> 02:33:53,650
one I want to say, I love dogs

4293
02:33:53,650 --> 02:33:56,530
and so I will continue to

4294
02:33:56,530 --> 02:33:57,200
support that, too. I would

4295
02:33:57,200 --> 02:33:59,900
like to say to the body to one

4296
02:33:59,900 --> 02:33:59,656
of my colleagues when they had

4297
02:33:59,656 --> 02:34:01,656
a

4298
02:34:02,159 --> 02:34:02,893
>> passion project with

4299
02:34:02,893 --> 02:34:05,262
affordable housing and moneys

4300
02:34:05,262 --> 02:34:05,930
and had somehow disappeared.

4301
02:34:05,930 --> 02:34:07,197
How grateful they were that

4302
02:34:07,197 --> 02:34:10,797
someone on this body help them

4303
02:34:13,710 --> 02:34:15,739
find the money. I situation. I

4304
02:34:15,739 --> 02:34:16,374
created this 200,000. It was

4305
02:34:16,374 --> 02:34:19,974
supposed to be in. It was

4306
02:34:20,511 --> 02:34:21,445
going to be an incubator. It

4307
02:34:21,445 --> 02:34:22,146
turned into what was going to

4308
02:34:22,146 --> 02:34:24,146
be 10 organizations at 20,000

4309
02:34:25,549 --> 02:34:27,351
or 20 at 10, it turned into 8

4310
02:34:27,351 --> 02:34:29,200
organizations over a four-year

4311
02:34:29,200 --> 02:34:29,720
window and almost a half

4312
02:34:29,720 --> 02:34:31,823
million dollars. That was not

4313
02:34:31,823 --> 02:34:33,858
what we agreed to. This second

4314
02:34:33,858 --> 02:34:36,194
tranche of money. Was going to

4315
02:34:36,194 --> 02:34:38,196
do coating. They were going to

4316
02:34:38,196 --> 02:34:39,931
a dashboard for the city and

4317
02:34:39,931 --> 02:34:41,999
particularly the kids it and

4318
02:34:41,999 --> 02:34:42,667
took a picture with the mayor

4319
02:34:42,667 --> 02:34:44,769
standing right out there in

4320
02:34:44,769 --> 02:34:47,738
Atrium. They say they were

4321
02:34:47,738 --> 02:34:48,839
going to do it now. Does it

4322
02:34:48,839 --> 02:34:49,674
have something to do with the

4323
02:34:49,674 --> 02:34:52,740
2% flat reduction from doge

4324
02:34:54,478 --> 02:34:55,179
maybe? Does that 200,000

4325
02:34:55,179 --> 02:34:55,946
somewhat recklessly add up to

4326
02:34:55,946 --> 02:34:59,250
that gap that they would have

4327
02:34:59,250 --> 02:34:59,951
to feel maybe. But does that

4328
02:34:59,951 --> 02:35:00,652
mean that we should make the

4329
02:35:00,652 --> 02:35:01,619
people suffer? No. So let me

4330
02:35:01,619 --> 02:35:04,456
tell you the solution. I

4331
02:35:04,456 --> 02:35:07,425
called Jason. I said, do you

4332
02:35:07,425 --> 02:35:09,527
all have the capacity? But

4333
02:35:09,527 --> 02:35:11,527
$200,000 out for small

4334
02:35:11,662 --> 02:35:13,465
businesses and small business

4335
02:35:13,465 --> 02:35:15,833
owners to do the work in the

4336
02:35:15,833 --> 02:35:16,567
city. We know that small

4337
02:35:16,567 --> 02:35:17,202
businesses are the backbone of

4338
02:35:17,202 --> 02:35:19,202
every thriving state. 85%

4339
02:35:19,371 --> 02:35:21,706
businesses over. And they said

4340
02:35:21,706 --> 02:35:24,976
yes, without a doubt. So this

4341
02:35:24,976 --> 02:35:26,111
money they're talking about.

4342
02:35:26,111 --> 02:35:26,845
Instead of it waiting 5 or 6

4343
02:35:26,845 --> 02:35:27,579
months with, they're going to

4344
02:35:27,579 --> 02:35:29,979
get another 200,000 because of

4345
02:35:30,282 --> 02:35:30,915
the great work of finance. But

4346
02:35:30,915 --> 02:35:33,315
instead of waiting 5 or 6

4347
02:35:35,190 --> 02:35:35,820
months. Jay cep said they'll

4348
02:35:35,820 --> 02:35:36,521
have it done and work on the

4349
02:35:36,521 --> 02:35:39,958
bill that forward is going to

4350
02:35:39,958 --> 02:35:40,692
be done in this year. And this

4351
02:35:40,692 --> 02:35:42,127
budget cycle. So I'll close. I

4352
02:35:42,127 --> 02:35:45,727
ask to support it. It's very

4353
02:35:47,532 --> 02:35:48,200
simple math here. All right.

4354
02:35:48,200 --> 02:35:48,833
I'm not sure if my cue was

4355
02:35:48,833 --> 02:35:49,534
cleared or of some of the

4356
02:35:49,534 --> 02:35:50,802
members did not wish to speak

4357
02:35:50,802 --> 02:35:53,202
for the second time.

4358
02:35:54,439 --> 02:35:55,107
>> MR. Boyle in the began.

4359
02:35:55,107 --> 02:35:56,942
Yes. Cue and where you are

4360
02:35:56,942 --> 02:35:58,942
recognized for 2 minutes.

4361
02:35:59,644 --> 02:36:02,800
Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT I let

4362
02:36:02,800 --> 02:36:04,249
me be clear. Psu councils have

4363
02:36:04,249 --> 02:36:04,949
re has every intention of

4364
02:36:04,949 --> 02:36:07,349
supporting the Michael Grant

4365
02:36:08,153 --> 02:36:10,153
program. This particular

4366
02:36:12,900 --> 02:36:13,325
situation is that $200,000 had

4367
02:36:13,325 --> 02:36:14,590
to programmed once they had to

4368
02:36:14,590 --> 02:36:17,529
develop the program had to put

4369
02:36:17,529 --> 02:36:18,563
it on pause. And so all

4370
02:36:18,563 --> 02:36:19,698
they're asking as it in the

4371
02:36:19,698 --> 02:36:23,298
coming year that we keep the

4372
02:36:24,350 --> 02:36:26,380
entire 7.2 million. In the psg

4373
02:36:26,380 --> 02:36:29,380
traditional programs, a b and

4374
02:36:29,608 --> 02:36:30,309
c and then the subsequent year

4375
02:36:30,309 --> 02:36:33,178
we'll gladly. Put it back in.

4376
02:36:33,178 --> 02:36:33,779
Why? Because this money for

4377
02:36:33,779 --> 02:36:34,447
this year, I'm going be

4378
02:36:34,447 --> 02:36:36,114
introduced bill to carry it

4379
02:36:36,114 --> 02:36:39,714
over into next year. So they

4380
02:36:40,185 --> 02:36:40,853
are looking forward. 2 to

4381
02:36:40,853 --> 02:36:43,253
managing and executing the

4382
02:36:43,322 --> 02:36:44,523
Michael Grant program in the

4383
02:36:44,523 --> 02:36:45,857
coming year. But just using

4384
02:36:45,857 --> 02:36:46,492
this year's dollars to do it

4385
02:36:46,492 --> 02:36:48,260
pure and simple, pure and

4386
02:36:48,260 --> 02:36:49,128
simple. That's all it is by

4387
02:36:49,128 --> 02:36:52,128
forcing another 3% on top of

4388
02:36:52,197 --> 02:36:54,990
them to do that. Doubles. That

4389
02:36:54,990 --> 02:36:56,990
number doubles that

4390
02:36:56,168 --> 02:36:56,835
opportunity. So although

4391
02:36:56,835 --> 02:36:57,570
saying, hey, we want to do

4392
02:36:57,570 --> 02:37:01,400
this, give us one year to take

4393
02:37:01,400 --> 02:37:03,900
care of this year's

4394
02:37:03,900 --> 02:37:04,209
obligations. And then in the

4395
02:37:04,209 --> 02:37:06,609
subsequent year, 27 28 to put

4396
02:37:06,845 --> 02:37:07,980
the 3% back in at that point

4397
02:37:07,980 --> 02:37:09,615
in time. That's all we're

4398
02:37:09,615 --> 02:37:10,416
asking to do. If they don't,

4399
02:37:10,416 --> 02:37:12,385
they want to do the program to

4400
02:37:12,385 --> 02:37:13,860
work very hard for what, 30

4401
02:37:13,860 --> 02:37:15,486
hours developing the criteria

4402
02:37:16,422 --> 02:37:17,490
for this program. So there

4403
02:37:17,490 --> 02:37:19,392
it's just investment in doing

4404
02:37:19,392 --> 02:37:20,126
it is is there and they love

4405
02:37:20,126 --> 02:37:20,860
the program. They just want to

4406
02:37:20,860 --> 02:37:24,460
make sure they don't lose that

4407
02:37:24,697 --> 02:37:25,297
$200,000 next year when find

4408
02:37:25,297 --> 02:37:25,932
themselves in a similar

4409
02:37:25,932 --> 02:37:26,966
situation there got look

4410
02:37:26,966 --> 02:37:27,700
forward to carry over to the

4411
02:37:27,700 --> 02:37:30,700
following year. Thank you, MR.

4412
02:37:32,705 --> 02:37:33,606
PRESIDENT. All right. Thank

4413
02:37:33,606 --> 02:37:35,808
you. Cues doing gymnastics

4414
02:37:35,808 --> 02:37:37,410
over here. So okay, there back

4415
02:37:37,410 --> 02:37:38,100
on. I'm going to hold on blues

4416
02:37:38,100 --> 02:37:38,678
over the second time, I

4417
02:37:38,678 --> 02:37:40,980
believe have 2 members. And

4418
02:37:40,980 --> 02:37:41,681
for the first time.

4419
02:37:41,681 --> 02:37:42,348
>> Councilmember Clark, Mary,

4420
02:37:42,348 --> 02:37:43,820
followed by Dr Johnson. And

4421
02:37:43,820 --> 02:37:46,285
then we'll go to MISTER Police

4422
02:37:46,285 --> 02:37:48,388
over the second time. So 4

4423
02:37:48,388 --> 02:37:51,591
minutes thank you. I I don't

4424
02:37:51,591 --> 02:37:53,493
need like 3 minutes to us.

4425
02:37:53,493 --> 02:37:55,762
Just trying to get some

4426
02:37:55,762 --> 02:37:57,530
clarity. So I've understood of

4427
02:37:57,530 --> 02:37:59,398
councilmember areas position.

4428
02:37:59,398 --> 02:38:00,434
I understood what he explained

4429
02:38:00,434 --> 02:38:01,434
which made a a lot of sense to

4430
02:38:01,434 --> 02:38:01,801
me. And then Councilmember

4431
02:38:01,801 --> 02:38:03,801
Freeman.

4432
02:38:04,971 --> 02:38:05,639
>> Then I managed what

4433
02:38:05,639 --> 02:38:07,639
councilmember Boylan said.

4434
02:38:07,774 --> 02:38:09,242
Just confuse me a little bit

4435
02:38:09,242 --> 02:38:12,545
there. So need a little bit

4436
02:38:12,545 --> 02:38:14,470
more clarity. So you have 7.2

4437
02:38:14,470 --> 02:38:17,647
million in the fun for psg.

4438
02:38:18,918 --> 02:38:22,518
And you want to the amendment

4439
02:38:24,591 --> 02:38:26,459
is to remove 200,000 from. To

4440
02:38:26,459 --> 02:38:27,126
use 200,000 of psg dollars.

4441
02:38:27,126 --> 02:38:29,950
Okay. Go ahead and help me

4442
02:38:29,950 --> 02:38:30,630
then help me. Because I.

4443
02:38:30,630 --> 02:38:32,765
Through the chair. She's going

4444
02:38:32,765 --> 02:38:33,660
explain a little more. Thank

4445
02:38:33,660 --> 02:38:33,633
you.

4446
02:38:33,633 --> 02:38:35,633
>> Through the chair,

4447
02:38:36,936 --> 02:38:37,571
COUNCILMAN Clark, Mary. The

4448
02:38:37,571 --> 02:38:39,600
there's 2 things that are

4449
02:38:39,600 --> 02:38:41,600
being confused. There's 2.

4450
02:38:42,709 --> 02:38:44,709
Pots of $200,000. Okay.

4451
02:38:46,713 --> 02:38:48,820
Current fiscal year 2026.

4452
02:38:48,820 --> 02:38:49,820
They're already their request

4453
02:38:49,820 --> 02:38:50,750
was 7.2 million that the

4454
02:38:50,750 --> 02:38:52,853
administration put in the

4455
02:38:52,853 --> 02:38:54,688
budget for public service

4456
02:38:54,688 --> 02:38:55,355
grants during the finance

4457
02:38:55,355 --> 02:38:57,755
hearings during the budget

4458
02:38:59,960 --> 02:39:02,360
hearings. The council decided

4459
02:39:02,964 --> 02:39:04,231
to take $200,000 from that and

4460
02:39:04,231 --> 02:39:05,933
move it to Category d there

4461
02:39:05,933 --> 02:39:08,340
was a Category d it was 0

4462
02:39:08,340 --> 02:39:08,736
basic as it had always been 0

4463
02:39:08,736 --> 02:39:11,639
based firm. The 3 years that

4464
02:39:11,639 --> 02:39:14,639
he's been in existence. The

4465
02:39:15,409 --> 02:39:18,409
amendment that is before you

4466
02:39:18,479 --> 02:39:19,614
is for fiscal year 2027 with

4467
02:39:19,614 --> 02:39:22,516
that. The proposal on the

4468
02:39:22,516 --> 02:39:23,217
amendment is to do the same

4469
02:39:23,217 --> 02:39:23,851
thing and basically carte one

4470
02:39:23,851 --> 02:39:25,285
percent of each of the 3

4471
02:39:25,285 --> 02:39:26,820
categories for public service

4472
02:39:26,820 --> 02:39:27,788
grants. Whatever the

4473
02:39:27,788 --> 02:39:28,623
administration brings forth

4474
02:39:28,623 --> 02:39:31,623
and is approved for public

4475
02:39:32,293 --> 02:39:33,270
service grants. 3% of that

4476
02:39:33,270 --> 02:39:36,270
would be another pot of

4477
02:39:37,465 --> 02:39:38,432
$200,000. So until if if the

4478
02:39:38,432 --> 02:39:40,501
administration put some point

4479
02:39:40,501 --> 02:39:41,802
to right now, we don't know

4480
02:39:41,802 --> 02:39:42,503
what the administration would

4481
02:39:42,503 --> 02:39:44,706
in case. So now we're talking

4482
02:39:44,706 --> 02:39:45,606
about PRESIDENT Too. We're

4483
02:39:45,606 --> 02:39:47,308
talking about this fiscal

4484
02:39:47,308 --> 02:39:50,308
year, the next fiscal year.

4485
02:39:51,120 --> 02:39:52,847
And then we're talking about

4486
02:39:52,847 --> 02:39:53,547
and additional pot of money

4487
02:39:53,547 --> 02:39:56,547
being moved from the previous

4488
02:39:57,385 --> 02:39:58,180
from the next fiscal year.

4489
02:39:58,180 --> 02:40:00,418
>> Being removed Chad to

4490
02:40:01,556 --> 02:40:03,591
COUNCILMAN Clark Mary. So the

4491
02:40:03,591 --> 02:40:04,959
there is no proposal in this

4492
02:40:04,959 --> 02:40:05,660
amendment to move any money.

4493
02:40:05,660 --> 02:40:09,196
The only thing that I'm aware

4494
02:40:09,196 --> 02:40:10,364
of. Where money is being

4495
02:40:10,364 --> 02:40:12,333
proposed to be moved. I

4496
02:40:12,333 --> 02:40:13,201
believe I just saw that and I

4497
02:40:13,201 --> 02:40:16,201
mentored item is introduced in

4498
02:40:18,720 --> 02:40:18,773
your agenda towards the end.

4499
02:40:18,773 --> 02:40:19,474
COUNCILMAN Freeman, it put in

4500
02:40:19,474 --> 02:40:20,341
legislation filed legislation

4501
02:40:20,341 --> 02:40:22,741
to take the 200,000 from

4502
02:40:24,412 --> 02:40:25,379
fiscal year, 26 and give it to

4503
02:40:25,379 --> 02:40:26,113
Jay said that's the only

4504
02:40:26,113 --> 02:40:27,115
movement. But that has nothing

4505
02:40:27,115 --> 02:40:27,816
to do with this amendment.

4506
02:40:27,816 --> 02:40:30,510
This amendment is for fiscal

4507
02:40:30,510 --> 02:40:32,510
year 2027. We're asking

4508
02:40:34,122 --> 02:40:34,956
obviously that. There is no

4509
02:40:34,956 --> 02:40:35,690
movement in the $200,000 we

4510
02:40:35,690 --> 02:40:38,126
currently have because that is

4511
02:40:38,126 --> 02:40:41,126
going to be utilized. Thank

4512
02:40:41,730 --> 02:40:44,599
you. Thank you. All right.

4513
02:40:44,599 --> 02:40:45,933
Thank you. I have heard a lot

4514
02:40:45,933 --> 02:40:46,668
of such attar between everyone

4515
02:40:46,668 --> 02:40:47,736
up here. So I'd like to take a

4516
02:40:47,736 --> 02:40:48,436
point of personal privilege to

4517
02:40:48,436 --> 02:40:49,104
recognize the auditor. Maybe

4518
02:40:49,104 --> 02:40:49,370
you could straighten us out

4519
02:40:49,370 --> 02:40:51,370
and

4520
02:40:51,406 --> 02:40:54,406
>> are you following? Seems to

4521
02:40:57,179 --> 02:40:58,313
be a lot of confusion.

4522
02:40:58,313 --> 02:40:59,113
>> Through the PRESIDENT To

4523
02:40:59,113 --> 02:41:01,883
the council. So this bill

4524
02:41:01,883 --> 02:41:04,883
deals only with the requested

4525
02:41:05,654 --> 02:41:06,522
funding for 26 27 budget. Its

4526
02:41:06,522 --> 02:41:07,289
the allocation of percentage

4527
02:41:07,289 --> 02:41:09,424
of whatever gets approved by

4528
02:41:09,424 --> 02:41:11,259
council submitted by the

4529
02:41:11,259 --> 02:41:12,270
mayor. That would allocate

4530
02:41:12,270 --> 02:41:15,270
that funding on a percentage

4531
02:41:15,697 --> 02:41:16,331
basis to the fore categories.

4532
02:41:16,331 --> 02:41:19,000
That's all that this bill

4533
02:41:19,000 --> 02:41:19,635
does. The 200,000 that's in

4534
02:41:19,635 --> 02:41:20,402
this year's bill as it is

4535
02:41:20,402 --> 02:41:22,402
actually totally different

4536
02:41:24,306 --> 02:41:26,375
discussion on another issue

4537
02:41:26,375 --> 02:41:27,750
related to the 25 26 funding.

4538
02:41:27,750 --> 02:41:29,711
But this bill forward looking

4539
02:41:29,711 --> 02:41:30,412
to next budget. Thanks for the

4540
02:41:30,412 --> 02:41:32,812
clarification. Dr Johnson for

4541
02:41:35,284 --> 02:41:37,186
the first time. Thank you, MR.

4542
02:41:37,186 --> 02:41:38,287
PRESIDENT Councilmember Clark

4543
02:41:38,287 --> 02:41:39,220
Murray. I too, am a little bit

4544
02:41:39,220 --> 02:41:40,388
confusing concern because it's

4545
02:41:40,388 --> 02:41:41,122
like all this hyperbole all

4546
02:41:41,122 --> 02:41:42,892
over the place. Let me through

4547
02:41:42,892 --> 02:41:44,892
the PRESIDENT Too.

4548
02:41:45,940 --> 02:41:46,295
>> Council Boylan, why are you

4549
02:41:46,295 --> 02:41:46,996
doing? You said you just said

4550
02:41:46,996 --> 02:41:50,433
i've got it down that you are

4551
02:41:50,433 --> 02:41:51,333
going to introduce a bill to

4552
02:41:51,333 --> 02:41:54,933
carry over funds to the next

4553
02:41:55,504 --> 02:41:57,339
fiscal year. But why weren't

4554
02:41:57,339 --> 02:41:58,240
they spent or why will not be

4555
02:41:58,240 --> 02:41:58,941
spent while you need to do

4556
02:41:58,941 --> 02:41:59,608
that. That's what's a little

4557
02:41:59,608 --> 02:42:01,711
confusing for me with this

4558
02:42:01,711 --> 02:42:02,378
process because I'd certainly

4559
02:42:02,378 --> 02:42:04,778
understand what comes from.

4560
02:42:04,980 --> 02:42:05,714
The Freeman was saying about

4561
02:42:05,714 --> 02:42:06,415
why this was instituted night.

4562
02:42:06,415 --> 02:42:07,150
We started this conversation

4563
02:42:07,150 --> 02:42:10,615
when I was on the rules

4564
02:42:13,856 --> 02:42:14,523
Committee. Yes, you can spot.

4565
02:42:14,523 --> 02:42:17,523
Thank you to the CHAIRMAN's

4566
02:42:17,859 --> 02:42:18,561
Council member Johnson.

4567
02:42:18,561 --> 02:42:20,329
>> The rationale was that it

4568
02:42:20,329 --> 02:42:20,996
took about 6, 5, 6, months for

4569
02:42:20,996 --> 02:42:23,666
the psg council to come up

4570
02:42:23,666 --> 02:42:24,366
with the criteria for the

4571
02:42:24,366 --> 02:42:26,568
Micro Grant program. It was a

4572
02:42:26,568 --> 02:42:27,604
brand new program. They took a

4573
02:42:27,604 --> 02:42:29,238
lot of time to vet it to make

4574
02:42:29,238 --> 02:42:31,407
a determination as to what to

4575
02:42:31,407 --> 02:42:32,274
do at the point in time they

4576
02:42:32,274 --> 02:42:32,942
were ready to kick off the

4577
02:42:32,942 --> 02:42:34,942
program administration, ask

4578
02:42:36,110 --> 02:42:36,479
them to pause it because of

4579
02:42:36,479 --> 02:42:38,479
the cbn, other

4580
02:42:40,683 --> 02:42:41,784
responsibilities that the hat.

4581
02:42:41,784 --> 02:42:45,384
My goal is ultimately is to

4582
02:42:45,888 --> 02:42:46,622
take the $200,000. Keep it

4583
02:42:46,622 --> 02:42:48,625
where it is and carry over the

4584
02:42:48,625 --> 02:42:50,693
use of it until next fiscal

4585
02:42:50,693 --> 02:42:51,660
year. That's why I don't see

4586
02:42:51,660 --> 02:42:53,929
the need for the 3% next. It

4587
02:42:53,929 --> 02:42:54,597
next fiscal year's budget

4588
02:42:54,597 --> 02:42:57,597
because they're going to be

4589
02:42:58,670 --> 02:43:00,971
using this year's money and in

4590
02:43:00,971 --> 02:43:01,705
the implementation of that

4591
02:43:01,705 --> 02:43:02,372
program and next year, I think

4592
02:43:02,372 --> 02:43:03,720
that helps councilmember it

4593
02:43:03,720 --> 02:43:04,374
does. And that again, brings

4594
02:43:04,374 --> 02:43:06,774
up more questions because

4595
02:43:09,179 --> 02:43:10,413
>> the intent was to help

4596
02:43:10,413 --> 02:43:11,547
smaller nonprofits. Then there

4597
02:43:11,547 --> 02:43:12,249
should be if this money is

4598
02:43:12,249 --> 02:43:13,216
gonna be carried over, there

4599
02:43:13,216 --> 02:43:14,350
should still be additional

4600
02:43:14,350 --> 02:43:17,186
funds for next year. You don't

4601
02:43:17,186 --> 02:43:18,388
just put the money that for

4602
02:43:18,388 --> 02:43:19,550
this year. All well, we're not

4603
02:43:19,550 --> 02:43:19,756
going to give to it. We're

4604
02:43:19,756 --> 02:43:20,423
going to give that money for

4605
02:43:20,423 --> 02:43:21,191
next year. That's not what

4606
02:43:21,191 --> 02:43:21,825
we're doing. We're not doing

4607
02:43:21,825 --> 02:43:24,825
that. The question I have

4608
02:43:26,960 --> 02:43:27,163
through the PRESIDENT To the

4609
02:43:27,163 --> 02:43:28,231
West Department, could you

4610
02:43:28,231 --> 02:43:29,966
give them help me understand

4611
02:43:29,966 --> 02:43:30,666
why it took 6 months to

4612
02:43:30,666 --> 02:43:33,660
develop this criteria. That's

4613
02:43:35,380 --> 02:43:38,941
a major problem for me. Do the

4614
02:43:38,941 --> 02:43:39,509
chair, MR. PRESIDENT to

4615
02:43:39,509 --> 02:43:40,443
COUNCILMAN Johnson.

4616
02:43:40,443 --> 02:43:43,443
>> The mvp committee of the

4617
02:43:44,247 --> 02:43:44,948
Public Service Grants Council.

4618
02:43:44,948 --> 02:43:46,316
Spent considerable amount of

4619
02:43:46,316 --> 02:43:48,518
time to make sure that they do

4620
02:43:48,518 --> 02:43:51,518
this right. This was actually

4621
02:43:51,888 --> 02:43:52,856
modeled initially obviously

4622
02:43:52,856 --> 02:43:53,556
COUNCILMAN Freemen. Had the

4623
02:43:53,556 --> 02:43:54,925
idea and the 10 grand to

4624
02:43:54,925 --> 02:43:56,925
20,000. So there were

4625
02:43:57,594 --> 02:43:58,495
definitely elements there that

4626
02:43:58,495 --> 02:44:00,895
were kept. However, this

4627
02:44:00,964 --> 02:44:01,898
particular program that the

4628
02:44:01,898 --> 02:44:04,134
public Service Grant Council

4629
02:44:04,134 --> 02:44:06,534
adopted and created was

4630
02:44:06,770 --> 02:44:08,672
modeled after the safety and

4631
02:44:08,672 --> 02:44:11,720
crime reduction safety in

4632
02:44:11,709 --> 02:44:13,677
crime reduction. As you are

4633
02:44:13,677 --> 02:44:15,179
aware, had some areas where

4634
02:44:15,179 --> 02:44:15,913
they're needed to be

4635
02:44:15,913 --> 02:44:17,314
considerable improvement to be

4636
02:44:17,314 --> 02:44:18,249
able to help the small

4637
02:44:18,249 --> 02:44:21,840
nonprofits. So they took their

4638
02:44:21,840 --> 02:44:22,252
time to make sure they

4639
02:44:22,252 --> 02:44:23,521
understood where there were

4640
02:44:23,521 --> 02:44:24,188
some areas that needed to be

4641
02:44:24,188 --> 02:44:27,188
approved to make sure that

4642
02:44:29,993 --> 02:44:30,594
this cover that they the week

4643
02:44:30,594 --> 02:44:33,594
that the cba issue was

4644
02:44:34,310 --> 02:44:34,765
transferred to us was actually

4645
02:44:34,765 --> 02:44:37,165
the week that COUNCILMAN

4646
02:44:37,802 --> 02:44:40,404
Boylan was actively working dc

4647
02:44:40,404 --> 02:44:41,105
to drop the legislation

4648
02:44:41,105 --> 02:44:43,105
because the approved 200,000

4649
02:44:45,643 --> 02:44:46,377
did not. Have the criteria

4650
02:44:46,377 --> 02:44:49,790
that would align with what the

4651
02:44:49,790 --> 02:44:50,614
psu Council did in same

4652
02:44:50,614 --> 02:44:52,249
resource. That is what's going

4653
02:44:52,249 --> 02:44:53,451
to manage the Michael Grant

4654
02:44:53,451 --> 02:44:56,253
program is the same resource

4655
02:44:56,253 --> 02:44:57,588
that I had to basically pull

4656
02:44:57,588 --> 02:44:59,256
to do. Cba work right now.

4657
02:44:59,256 --> 02:44:59,924
MADAM Chief, with all due

4658
02:44:59,924 --> 02:45:00,658
respect to the PRESIDENT, I

4659
02:45:00,658 --> 02:45:01,859
also have to walk and chew gum

4660
02:45:01,859 --> 02:45:03,261
at the same time. I get it. We

4661
02:45:03,261 --> 02:45:03,894
need to be able to do multiple

4662
02:45:03,894 --> 02:45:05,396
things. I know I have to

4663
02:45:05,396 --> 02:45:06,664
juggle many balls.

4664
02:45:06,664 --> 02:45:07,565
>> With what we do here on

4665
02:45:07,565 --> 02:45:10,565
this council, I don't think

4666
02:45:10,634 --> 02:45:12,236
that's a valid point. And it

4667
02:45:12,236 --> 02:45:14,472
should not have taken 6

4668
02:45:14,472 --> 02:45:15,139
months. If I had done that.

4669
02:45:15,139 --> 02:45:15,806
That's why when I walked to

4670
02:45:15,806 --> 02:45:16,607
the safety and crime

4671
02:45:16,607 --> 02:45:17,341
reduction, I had to make some

4672
02:45:17,341 --> 02:45:19,476
changes, which is why we ended

4673
02:45:19,476 --> 02:45:21,145
up sun setting it. So that

4674
02:45:21,145 --> 02:45:21,846
could be proper. But we

4675
02:45:21,846 --> 02:45:22,513
learned from that lesson and

4676
02:45:22,513 --> 02:45:25,513
that should have been pared

4677
02:45:25,717 --> 02:45:26,317
down to move things forward. I

4678
02:45:26,317 --> 02:45:26,918
have one final question

4679
02:45:26,918 --> 02:45:27,619
running up on time, MR.

4680
02:45:27,619 --> 02:45:30,190
PRESIDENT, please, if you'll

4681
02:45:31,220 --> 02:45:32,289
indulge me, I need to know if

4682
02:45:32,289 --> 02:45:32,990
this and this I'm assuming

4683
02:45:32,990 --> 02:45:34,659
maybe to the auditor, if this

4684
02:45:34,659 --> 02:45:37,362
amendment is voted up, does

4685
02:45:37,362 --> 02:45:39,430
that mean that the psg will

4686
02:45:39,430 --> 02:45:41,432
get the funds from this year

4687
02:45:41,432 --> 02:45:44,202
and next year. And then if

4688
02:45:44,202 --> 02:45:46,270
it's voted down, does that

4689
02:45:46,270 --> 02:45:48,273
mean they will only get the

4690
02:45:48,273 --> 02:45:49,340
funds this you can you help me

4691
02:45:49,340 --> 02:45:50,408
understand that. And I let him

4692
02:45:50,408 --> 02:45:51,375
answer the question. But yes,

4693
02:45:51,375 --> 02:45:54,110
thank you. Time. Go ahead. The

4694
02:45:54,110 --> 02:45:55,112
question for him, if you would

4695
02:45:55,112 --> 02:45:55,847
through the PRESIDENT To

4696
02:45:55,847 --> 02:45:58,247
Councilmember Johnson, if this

4697
02:45:58,850 --> 02:46:01,250
amendment is voted up.

4698
02:46:01,753 --> 02:46:02,888
>> All that it does is lay out

4699
02:46:02,888 --> 02:46:04,456
the percentages for funding.

4700
02:46:04,456 --> 02:46:06,925
That is part of the 26 27

4701
02:46:06,925 --> 02:46:08,560
budget. If this amendment is

4702
02:46:08,560 --> 02:46:09,427
voted down, it just lays out

4703
02:46:09,427 --> 02:46:11,827
the percentages for the 26 27

4704
02:46:13,732 --> 02:46:16,732
budget. The funding already is

4705
02:46:19,710 --> 02:46:20,705
at psg for 25. 26. All right.

4706
02:46:20,705 --> 02:46:21,940
Thank you. I think I have one

4707
02:46:21,940 --> 02:46:22,640
here. That is a first timer,

4708
02:46:22,640 --> 02:46:25,640
Dr Salem past PRESIDENT. And

4709
02:46:26,979 --> 02:46:27,713
you're recognized.

4710
02:46:27,713 --> 02:46:31,313
>> Was that very quietly on my

4711
02:46:33,510 --> 02:46:36,510
birthday? I can't do it

4712
02:46:36,321 --> 02:46:38,721
anymore. Because I've heard

4713
02:46:38,991 --> 02:46:41,991
some things that bothered me.

4714
02:46:42,594 --> 02:46:46,794
We are the policy by. We are

4715
02:46:47,766 --> 02:46:48,701
the policy body. We in in the

4716
02:46:48,701 --> 02:46:50,701
budget process put $200,000

4717
02:46:55,307 --> 02:46:58,243
into this program. It bothers

4718
02:46:58,243 --> 02:46:59,440
me that the administration has

4719
02:46:59,440 --> 02:46:59,678
decided because of the cba as

4720
02:46:59,678 --> 02:47:02,678
we're going to pull these

4721
02:47:03,382 --> 02:47:04,116
people over.

4722
02:47:04,116 --> 02:47:07,116
>> And they've slow walked his

4723
02:47:07,820 --> 02:47:10,220
$200,000 program. If we let

4724
02:47:12,391 --> 02:47:15,391
this happen, what's next? What

4725
02:47:17,830 --> 02:47:18,463
is next? Where they decide?

4726
02:47:18,463 --> 02:47:20,799
The finance Committee the

4727
02:47:20,799 --> 02:47:24,399
Council voted on this, but we

4728
02:47:24,503 --> 02:47:25,337
don't particularly like it. So

4729
02:47:25,337 --> 02:47:28,937
we're not gonna put staff to

4730
02:47:30,710 --> 02:47:33,512
make that happen so be it.

4731
02:47:33,512 --> 02:47:37,112
That's a bad precedent. It's a

4732
02:47:37,850 --> 02:47:40,153
terrible precedent. For those

4733
02:47:40,153 --> 02:47:41,187
reasons. And I agree with my

4734
02:47:41,187 --> 02:47:44,187
colleague Dr Johnson. He is

4735
02:47:44,457 --> 02:47:45,124
right on this one. I don't

4736
02:47:45,124 --> 02:47:46,925
always say that, but he is

4737
02:47:46,925 --> 02:47:50,729
right on this one. We need to

4738
02:47:50,729 --> 02:47:51,764
vote up this amendment and

4739
02:47:51,764 --> 02:47:54,466
move forward with this and I

4740
02:47:54,466 --> 02:47:55,401
hope we can do it soon. Thank

4741
02:47:55,401 --> 02:47:56,335
you.

4742
02:47:56,335 --> 02:47:57,403
>> All right. We're back to

4743
02:47:57,403 --> 02:47:58,710
second time. Councilmember for

4744
02:47:58,710 --> 02:47:59,705
the second time. 2 minutes.

4745
02:47:59,705 --> 02:48:02,705
Thank you. As PRESIDENT. I

4746
02:48:03,420 --> 02:48:03,777
mean, I think I'm a little

4747
02:48:03,777 --> 02:48:06,746
flabbergasted by some of this.

4748
02:48:06,746 --> 02:48:07,447
We have a chief department

4749
02:48:07,447 --> 02:48:09,349
coming up telling us the

4750
02:48:09,349 --> 02:48:11,749
difficulties of this program.

4751
02:48:11,851 --> 02:48:14,988
If we had the sheriff here. If

4752
02:48:14,988 --> 02:48:15,688
we had the fire chief here. If

4753
02:48:15,688 --> 02:48:17,190
we had anyone like that come

4754
02:48:17,190 --> 02:48:20,920
in here and say, guys, don't

4755
02:48:20,920 --> 02:48:23,692
the means to this. The means

4756
02:48:24,263 --> 02:48:24,931
to do this. We would we would

4757
02:48:24,931 --> 02:48:25,598
recognize that and say, all

4758
02:48:25,598 --> 02:48:26,332
right. Well, we as a policy

4759
02:48:26,332 --> 02:48:28,168
body need to make sure that we

4760
02:48:28,168 --> 02:48:28,802
are aligning correctly with

4761
02:48:28,802 --> 02:48:31,202
what senior leadership is

4762
02:48:33,740 --> 02:48:34,474
asking It's not a crazy thing.

4763
02:48:34,474 --> 02:48:36,810
I'll tell you, I would love to

4764
02:48:36,810 --> 02:48:37,477
see this program move forward.

4765
02:48:37,477 --> 02:48:40,881
It sounds it's going to any

4766
02:48:40,881 --> 02:48:41,615
way in the future, regardless.

4767
02:48:41,615 --> 02:48:43,550
But yes, the cba is going to

4768
02:48:43,550 --> 02:48:44,251
add a massive burden on the

4769
02:48:44,251 --> 02:48:45,180
grants department. And I want

4770
02:48:45,180 --> 02:48:48,870
to make sure that the cba is

4771
02:48:48,870 --> 02:48:49,622
very, very successful because

4772
02:48:49,622 --> 02:48:50,356
I'm very concerned that with

4773
02:48:50,356 --> 02:48:51,240
the being now in better within

4774
02:48:51,240 --> 02:48:53,760
the city, it's going to be

4775
02:48:53,760 --> 02:48:55,280
very onerous on our staff.

4776
02:48:55,280 --> 02:48:57,697
Let's make sure we are doing

4777
02:48:57,697 --> 02:48:58,364
this correctly. And yes, I

4778
02:48:58,364 --> 02:48:58,932
understand that the $25,000

4779
02:48:58,932 --> 02:48:59,666
limit was from direct

4780
02:48:59,666 --> 02:49:01,666
appropriations for the

4781
02:49:01,902 --> 02:49:02,435
process. But I think that the

4782
02:49:02,435 --> 02:49:04,435
intention based on

4783
02:49:04,771 --> 02:49:05,705
conversations during that time

4784
02:49:05,705 --> 02:49:07,407
was that the grants Department

4785
02:49:07,407 --> 02:49:09,807
cannot handle smaller grants.

4786
02:49:10,310 --> 02:49:12,120
Now we're asking to do that.

4787
02:49:12,120 --> 02:49:13,113
Just seems odd to me. It seems

4788
02:49:13,113 --> 02:49:13,814
like we're backpedaling on

4789
02:49:13,814 --> 02:49:16,814
policy decisions that in the

4790
02:49:16,983 --> 02:49:19,619
past. I'm just like the end of

4791
02:49:19,619 --> 02:49:20,287
the day. You know, I want to

4792
02:49:20,287 --> 02:49:23,287
make sure that these things

4793
02:49:23,957 --> 02:49:24,624
and get executed executed.

4794
02:49:24,624 --> 02:49:26,250
Correctly and fairly. We've

4795
02:49:26,250 --> 02:49:26,726
seen the oig go after some of

4796
02:49:26,726 --> 02:49:28,529
these small dollar grants in

4797
02:49:28,529 --> 02:49:30,196
the past. Right? We've seen

4798
02:49:30,196 --> 02:49:31,665
accountability issues. A

4799
02:49:31,665 --> 02:49:34,665
distrust. Our staff trust your

4800
02:49:38,738 --> 02:49:39,806
staff. But this down. All

4801
02:49:39,806 --> 02:49:40,507
right. For the first time

4802
02:49:40,507 --> 02:49:42,507
Councilmember Morrow joining

4803
02:49:45,120 --> 02:49:48,612
the party. I'd like to call

4804
02:49:49,683 --> 02:49:52,830
the question, Right? Questions

4805
02:49:52,285 --> 02:49:53,190
been called worse on the

4806
02:49:53,190 --> 02:49:53,753
Amendment. Chemical questions,

4807
02:49:53,753 --> 02:49:54,487
amendments began all in favor.

4808
02:49:54,487 --> 02:49:57,487
Common question signify by are

4809
02:50:05,766 --> 02:50:07,167
ok, 30 ends up.

4810
02:50:07,167 --> 02:50:08,969
>> All right. The questions

4811
02:50:08,969 --> 02:50:09,636
been called now by a hand vote

4812
02:50:09,636 --> 02:50:12,636
on favor of the amendment.

4813
02:50:19,880 --> 02:50:22,582
Raise your hand. The amendment

4814
02:50:22,582 --> 02:50:23,750
passes the bill as amended,

4815
02:50:23,750 --> 02:50:25,486
got a motion second on the

4816
02:50:25,486 --> 02:50:26,220
bill as amended can clear out

4817
02:50:26,220 --> 02:50:29,820
the queue. See if anyone still

4818
02:50:30,358 --> 02:50:34,558
wishes to chime Now was q a

4819
02:50:45,606 --> 02:50:48,600
about a quarter vote.

4820
02:50:51,212 --> 02:50:51,845
>> 16 yeas, one nay. One

4821
02:50:51,845 --> 02:50:53,845
abstention.

4822
02:50:54,915 --> 02:50:55,515
>> actually approved 2026 Dash

4823
02:50:55,515 --> 02:50:57,515
0, 1, Desmond.

4824
02:50:58,719 --> 02:50:59,120
>> 6, 6, 2026, 1, 3, move the

4825
02:50:59,120 --> 02:50:59,820
amendment.

4826
02:50:59,820 --> 02:51:01,555
>> Got a motion second on the

4827
02:51:01,555 --> 02:51:02,756
amendment. That snow in the

4828
02:51:02,756 --> 02:51:04,325
queue. Well the amendment

4829
02:51:04,325 --> 02:51:05,627
signify by saying Aye, aye,

4830
02:51:05,627 --> 02:51:06,327
any opposed say nay. The

4831
02:51:06,327 --> 02:51:09,327
amendment cares. I moved the

4832
02:51:09,396 --> 02:51:10,980
bill as amended and a motion

4833
02:51:10,980 --> 02:51:11,566
and second on the bill as

4834
02:51:11,566 --> 02:51:13,566
amended councilmember thank

4835
02:51:15,670 --> 02:51:16,370
you, MR. PRESIDENT, I stand in

4836
02:51:16,370 --> 02:51:17,370
opposition to this bill. Not

4837
02:51:17,370 --> 02:51:19,340
because I think that it's a

4838
02:51:19,340 --> 02:51:20,410
bad bill overall, but I just.

4839
02:51:20,410 --> 02:51:20,708
>> We want to make sure that

4840
02:51:20,708 --> 02:51:22,430
we're walking hand-in-hand

4841
02:51:22,430 --> 02:51:25,579
with the hrc, right? We want

4842
02:51:25,579 --> 02:51:26,247
to make sure that. Like I

4843
02:51:26,247 --> 02:51:26,981
understand the intention of

4844
02:51:26,981 --> 02:51:28,182
this to make sure that dollars

4845
02:51:28,182 --> 02:51:29,417
are being counted for

4846
02:51:29,417 --> 02:51:31,419
correctly. I think we should

4847
02:51:31,419 --> 02:51:32,487
make sure we have an

4848
02:51:32,487 --> 02:51:33,221
appropriate process for how

4849
02:51:33,221 --> 02:51:33,888
the hrc spends dollars and how

4850
02:51:33,888 --> 02:51:36,725
it comes to us. So I prefer

4851
02:51:36,725 --> 02:51:38,726
that we just so down and

4852
02:51:38,726 --> 02:51:39,361
create a new process entirely

4853
02:51:39,361 --> 02:51:40,628
but saying anything over

4854
02:51:40,628 --> 02:51:41,328
$100,000 things come to us. I

4855
02:51:41,328 --> 02:51:42,830
think it's just going to open

4856
02:51:42,830 --> 02:51:46,430
up the door for some some

4857
02:51:46,434 --> 02:51:48,834
crazy number. Number, pushing.

4858
02:51:50,438 --> 02:51:51,740
I prefer we. We look at the

4859
02:51:51,740 --> 02:51:53,341
process or how they got

4860
02:51:53,341 --> 02:51:54,175
dollars spent dollars and come

4861
02:51:54,175 --> 02:51:55,543
to us. That makes more sense

4862
02:51:55,543 --> 02:51:56,444
to me than just sort of adding

4863
02:51:56,444 --> 02:51:58,844
this $100,000 hoop to jump

4864
02:51:59,514 --> 02:52:00,582
over. I think the process

4865
02:52:00,582 --> 02:52:02,217
needs fixing more than just

4866
02:52:02,217 --> 02:52:05,553
this extra criteria. So I am

4867
02:52:05,553 --> 02:52:06,187
voting it now. But down.

4868
02:52:06,187 --> 02:52:07,655
However, I understand the

4869
02:52:07,655 --> 02:52:09,257
intention and I and I respect

4870
02:52:09,257 --> 02:52:10,124
it. Think there's more to

4871
02:52:10,124 --> 02:52:10,759
Thank you. All right. Thank

4872
02:52:10,759 --> 02:52:12,759
you. Councilmember areas

4873
02:52:15,297 --> 02:52:16,980
recognized. MR. PRESIDENT, I'm

4874
02:52:16,980 --> 02:52:16,832
sorry, MISTER Produce about. I

4875
02:52:16,832 --> 02:52:18,933
actually got to go against you

4876
02:52:18,933 --> 02:52:20,680
on this one because I think

4877
02:52:20,680 --> 02:52:21,269
this is critical for us as a

4878
02:52:21,269 --> 02:52:22,300
as a body to understand why

4879
02:52:22,300 --> 02:52:25,206
checks he's doing. A lot of us

4880
02:52:25,206 --> 02:52:25,907
still have the pleasure.

4881
02:52:25,907 --> 02:52:27,142
>> To be the a's on like you

4882
02:52:27,142 --> 02:52:28,443
are. I've attended a few of

4883
02:52:28,443 --> 02:52:29,177
the meetings, but, you know,

4884
02:52:29,177 --> 02:52:30,111
they they're doing great work.

4885
02:52:30,111 --> 02:52:32,547
And this bill by it, I think,

4886
02:52:32,547 --> 02:52:33,248
is a great deal because not

4887
02:52:33,248 --> 02:52:36,500
only does it protect taxpayer

4888
02:52:36,500 --> 02:52:36,751
dollars, but also 8. Brings a

4889
02:52:36,751 --> 02:52:39,154
lot of awareness to all of us

4890
02:52:39,154 --> 02:52:40,121
as to what they're doing. I

4891
02:52:40,121 --> 02:52:41,123
met with the administration

4892
02:52:41,123 --> 02:52:43,625
today as to how plan on using

4893
02:52:43,625 --> 02:52:45,930
those daughters in the near

4894
02:52:45,930 --> 02:52:46,661
future deputy and on board for

4895
02:52:46,661 --> 02:52:47,328
that. So I think once again,

4896
02:52:47,328 --> 02:52:47,963
this is just a great bonus.

4897
02:52:47,963 --> 02:52:49,465
Many just educate Nothing

4898
02:52:49,465 --> 02:52:50,132
really wrong with this bill

4899
02:52:50,132 --> 02:52:52,000
and are you guys supported?

4900
02:52:52,000 --> 02:52:53,135
Thank you. Alright

4901
02:52:53,135 --> 02:52:55,135
Councilmember Joe Carlucci.

4902
02:52:55,404 --> 02:52:56,505
All right. Thank you, MR.

4903
02:52:56,505 --> 02:52:58,206
PRESIDENT. Yeah, it was a

4904
02:52:58,206 --> 02:52:59,808
support. The bill. I mean, I I

4905
02:52:59,808 --> 02:53:00,542
don't think we really know

4906
02:53:00,542 --> 02:53:01,676
what the process looks like at

4907
02:53:01,676 --> 02:53:04,676
this point because we haven't

4908
02:53:05,647 --> 02:53:06,815
got anything from the ajc. So

4909
02:53:06,815 --> 02:53:07,515
I think $100,000 a reasonable

4910
02:53:07,515 --> 02:53:09,717
number. And look, if it needs

4911
02:53:09,717 --> 02:53:10,385
to move up or down, I think

4912
02:53:10,385 --> 02:53:13,288
will will cross that bridge

4913
02:53:13,288 --> 02:53:14,289
when we get to it. But for

4914
02:53:14,289 --> 02:53:15,423
now, I think 100,000 is sort

4915
02:53:15,423 --> 02:53:16,658
of a reasonable number.

4916
02:53:16,658 --> 02:53:17,325
Anything above that. I think

4917
02:53:17,325 --> 02:53:20,195
this council would kind of

4918
02:53:20,195 --> 02:53:21,297
want oversight on that type of

4919
02:53:21,297 --> 02:53:22,931
figure. So for now, I'm

4920
02:53:22,931 --> 02:53:23,799
supportive of it, but I'm also

4921
02:53:23,799 --> 02:53:24,399
open in the future. There's a

4922
02:53:24,399 --> 02:53:26,535
process change needs to

4923
02:53:26,535 --> 02:53:27,836
happen. So thank you, MR.

4924
02:53:27,836 --> 02:53:28,570
PRESIDENT. All right. Thank

4925
02:53:28,570 --> 02:53:29,205
you. No one else is in the

4926
02:53:29,205 --> 02:53:32,205
queue. Let's open about a

4927
02:53:44,190 --> 02:53:46,190
recorded vote.

4928
02:53:50,590 --> 02:53:51,293
>> 16 yeas, 2 nays.

4929
02:53:51,293 --> 02:53:52,261
>> By your action. You approve

4930
02:53:52,261 --> 02:53:53,762
Twenty-twenty 6 Dash 0, 1, 3,

4931
02:53:53,762 --> 02:53:54,496
Go ahead and pass the chair

4932
02:53:54,496 --> 02:53:57,266
over to the vice PRESIDENT For

4933
02:53:57,266 --> 02:53:58,434
the next bill.

4934
02:53:58,434 --> 02:54:00,202
>> I was 6, 7, 2026 1.42

4935
02:54:00,202 --> 02:54:00,769
Council vice PRESIDENT. Please

4936
02:54:00,769 --> 02:54:01,470
recognize the council

4937
02:54:01,470 --> 02:54:03,470
PRESIDENT, MISTER PRESIDENT.

4938
02:54:06,242 --> 02:54:06,909
You're recognized.

4939
02:54:06,909 --> 02:54:08,770
>> Thank you, MISTER. Vice

4940
02:54:08,770 --> 02:54:08,777
PRESIDENT. I rise simply out

4941
02:54:08,777 --> 02:54:10,780
of an abundance of caution to

4942
02:54:10,780 --> 02:54:12,114
abstain on this piece of

4943
02:54:12,114 --> 02:54:14,490
legislation. It doesn't

4944
02:54:14,490 --> 02:54:15,840
directly affect my

4945
02:54:15,840 --> 02:54:15,851
organization. I work for, but

4946
02:54:15,851 --> 02:54:16,585
I do work for the boys. Girls

4947
02:54:16,585 --> 02:54:19,585
clubs of Northeast Florida. We

4948
02:54:19,622 --> 02:54:20,222
have in the past been awarded

4949
02:54:20,222 --> 02:54:22,622
dollars to Opioid Grant

4950
02:54:23,659 --> 02:54:24,493
Prevention program. So just

4951
02:54:24,493 --> 02:54:26,929
one staying out of caution,

4952
02:54:26,929 --> 02:54:27,630
just so my vote doesn't in any

4953
02:54:27,630 --> 02:54:28,331
way, shape or form affect any

4954
02:54:28,331 --> 02:54:29,165
of these dollars that MAY end

4955
02:54:29,165 --> 02:54:31,701
up with my organization. Thank

4956
02:54:31,701 --> 02:54:32,401

it for housing incredibly

5036
02:57:31,114 --> 02:57:31,748
important to me. And 2, vast

5037
02:57:31,748 --> 02:57:34,748
majority of voters in our

5038
02:57:35,519 --> 02:57:36,187
city. I was ranked number one

5039
02:57:36,187 --> 02:57:36,820
by Unf poll housing's. The

5040
02:57:36,820 --> 02:57:38,722
number one issue. We know

5041
02:57:38,722 --> 02:57:41,722
that. Is a 5 million dollar

5042
02:57:43,427 --> 02:57:44,161
loan. Very excited. Believe

5043
02:57:44,161 --> 02:57:46,290
this is the right thing to do.

5044
02:57:46,290 --> 02:57:48,429
A 5 million dollars. However,

5045
02:57:48,699 --> 02:57:52,299
lest we forget. There was an

5046
02:57:53,103 --> 02:57:54,172
option for this body. To look

5047
02:57:54,172 --> 02:57:55,906
at doing a 10 million dollar

5048
02:57:55,906 --> 02:57:58,509
loan again, not a grandpa. The

5049
02:57:58,509 --> 02:57:59,209
lone and having it matched by

5050
02:57:59,209 --> 02:58:01,178
30 million dollars in private

5051
02:58:01,178 --> 02:58:03,178
funds. 40 million dollar

5052
02:58:03,848 --> 02:58:06,248
affordable housing trust. For

5053
02:58:06,283 --> 02:58:08,453
an extra 5 million dollars. We

5054
02:58:08,453 --> 02:58:10,221
could have gotten access to an

5055
02:58:10,221 --> 02:58:11,488
additional 30 million in

5056
02:58:11,488 --> 02:58:12,256
private funds to help make

5057
02:58:12,256 --> 02:58:12,924
sure that we are addressing

5058
02:58:12,924 --> 02:58:14,558
the number one issue in our

5059
02:58:14,558 --> 02:58:17,558
city. Very happy for this

5060
02:58:17,829 --> 02:58:20,829
bill. Very grateful for this

5061
02:58:21,432 --> 02:58:22,133
bill. 240 units, great. Still

5062
02:58:22,133 --> 02:58:22,766
at the end of the day, a drop

5063
02:58:22,766 --> 02:58:23,334
in the bucket and what we

5064
02:58:23,334 --> 02:58:25,102
could have done with

5065
02:58:25,102 --> 02:58:27,102
40 Million. Coogan thousands

5066
02:58:28,739 --> 02:58:29,741
upon thousands. So just making

5067
02:58:29,741 --> 02:58:31,542
sure that that's put out there

5068
02:58:31,542 --> 02:58:32,377
that had we just done another

5069
02:58:32,377 --> 02:58:33,978

5070
02:58:33,978 --> 02:58:35,212
ourselves in a great position.

5071
02:58:35,212 --> 02:58:37,612
But instead we allowed.

5072
02:58:40,510 --> 02:58:40,751
Something got in the way. And

5073
02:58:40,751 --> 02:58:41,319
so just making that known of

5074
02:58:41,319 --> 02:58:41,986
housing is really as

5075
02:58:41,986 --> 02:58:42,653
important. We think it is.

5076
02:58:42,653 --> 02:58:43,354
Let's make sure we're doing

5077
02:58:43,354 --> 02:58:45,589

5078
02:58:45,589 --> 02:58:48,589

5095
02:59:09,947 --> 02:59:11,383

5096
02:59:11,383 --> 02:59:13,783

Dr Johnson. Thank you, MR.

5265
03:05:18,510 --> 03:05:18,753
PRESIDENT colleagues, I rise

5266
03:05:18,753 --> 03:05:21,322
tonight to speak about a man

5267
03:05:21,322 --> 03:05:22,490
and honor a voice.

5268
03:05:22,490 --> 03:05:24,458
>> a voice that in living

5269
03:05:24,458 --> 03:05:25,126
rooms across our city not was

5270
03:05:25,126 --> 03:05:27,526
spectacle, but with truth,

5271
03:05:27,528 --> 03:05:30,528
robs weeding was amazing man.

5272
03:05:31,632 --> 03:05:33,301
And when I put this in, I ran

5273
03:05:33,301 --> 03:05:33,934
into his sign downtown. We all

5274
03:05:33,934 --> 03:05:36,537
know it's sunny and dear

5275
03:05:36,537 --> 03:05:37,238
friend of ours and I said,

5276
03:05:37,238 --> 03:05:37,872
How's your dad? And I looked

5277
03:05:37,872 --> 03:05:40,875
at him in his eyes, just

5278
03:05:40,875 --> 03:05:43,911
watered up. And he told me is

5279
03:05:43,911 --> 03:05:45,790
that was in hospice. And I

5280
03:05:45,790 --> 03:05:45,680
hadn't seen probably year to

5281
03:05:45,680 --> 03:05:47,348
have you been living in

5282
03:05:47,348 --> 03:05:48,160
Atlanta for those that don't

5283
03:05:48,160 --> 03:05:49,830
know. Rob was also a crack

5284
03:05:49,830 --> 03:05:50,840
actor for lack of a better

5285
03:05:50,840 --> 03:05:53,354
term. And if you look closely

5286
03:05:53,354 --> 03:05:55,423
at the new coming to America

5287
03:05:55,423 --> 03:05:56,230
in the coming to America, 2,

5288
03:05:56,230 --> 03:05:59,326
Rob was an extra in the

5289
03:05:59,326 --> 03:06:00,194
waiting scene in that movie.

5290
03:06:00,194 --> 03:06:02,864
So he didn't get far away from

5291
03:06:02,864 --> 03:06:04,732
tv as he walked away from tv.

5292
03:06:04,732 --> 03:06:06,634
But he's just a great guy. I

5293
03:06:06,634 --> 03:06:07,368
know for me when I started as

5294
03:06:07,368 --> 03:06:11,380
a young guy and I wanted to be

5295
03:06:11,380 --> 03:06:12,974
an anchor and reporter and I

5296
03:06:12,974 --> 03:06:14,142
was meant toward by Rob

5297
03:06:14,142 --> 03:06:14,876
Sweeting and Joyce Morgan and

5298
03:06:14,876 --> 03:06:15,476
and others who has this little

5299
03:06:15,476 --> 03:06:16,911
kid running around what

5300
03:06:16,911 --> 03:06:19,311
following behind them. I

5301
03:06:19,848 --> 03:06:20,882
created a career because of

5302
03:06:20,882 --> 03:06:22,950
who I saw in during my career.

5303
03:06:22,950 --> 03:06:24,919
Any time that I picked up the

5304
03:06:24,919 --> 03:06:26,855
phone to call Ken or Joyce,

5305
03:06:26,855 --> 03:06:29,124
most importantly robbed as

5306
03:06:29,124 --> 03:06:29,824
well. They picked up the phone

5307
03:06:29,824 --> 03:06:30,458
and he listened and said this

5308
03:06:30,458 --> 03:06:31,827
is what you do have been

5309
03:06:31,827 --> 03:06:34,696
there. Here's how you move.

5310
03:06:34,696 --> 03:06:35,396
It. He certainly is someone

5311
03:06:35,396 --> 03:06:38,232
that this community can look

5312
03:06:38,232 --> 03:06:38,833
to as as a truth teller and

5313
03:06:38,833 --> 03:06:41,803
even on his way out as

5314
03:06:41,803 --> 03:06:43,380
transition that sat with him a

5315
03:06:43,380 --> 03:06:44,238
few times. The squeeze my

5316
03:06:44,238 --> 03:06:44,873
hand. When I started to say

5317
03:06:44,873 --> 03:06:46,107
names and talk to people,

5318
03:06:46,107 --> 03:06:48,900
opened his eyes and he felt it

5319
03:06:48,900 --> 03:06:49,911

Chaplain. Thank you, MR.

5447
03:11:30,793 --> 03:11:32,428
PRESIDENT I. I was doing fine

5448
03:11:32,428 --> 03:11:33,162
until my colleague mentioned

5449
03:11:33,162 --> 03:11:37,834
that. But it is what it is. My

5450
03:11:37,834 --> 03:11:38,701
dad was 93. And spend 50 years

5451
03:11:38,701 --> 03:11:39,435

5453
03:11:48,100 --> 03:11:50,130
So as as I reflect on this

5454
03:11:50,130 --> 03:11:50,713
evening, I what came to mind

5455
03:11:50,713 --> 03:11:53,713
was the thought that there's

5456
03:11:54,351 --> 03:11:54,985
no greater challenge. As well

5457
03:11:54,985 --> 03:11:57,985
as no greater honor than

5458
03:11:58,554 --> 03:11:59,189
public service. Because of

5459
03:11:59,189 --> 03:12:01,358
some of the debates that

5460
03:12:01,358 --> 03:12:02,291
occurred here tonight and I

5461
03:12:02,291 --> 03:12:04,127
would encourage us to keep

5462
03:12:04,127 --> 03:12:07,127
putting the public first in

5463
03:12:07,130 --> 03:12:07,798
all that we say and do and

5464
03:12:07,798 --> 03:12:10,300
there'll be a reward at the

5465
03:12:10,300 --> 03:12:11,568
end of it. Let us Pray.

5466
03:12:11,568 --> 03:12:13,336
