261
00:08:47,137 --> 00:08:47,871
kind of individual. He

263
00:08:49,406 --> 00:08:53,643

to Jay you as PRESIDENT. One

266
00:08:55,278 --> 00:08:58,878
thing you said, Jay, you will

267
00:08:59,182 --> 00:09:00,984
be integrated and not

268
00:09:00,984 --> 00:09:04,520
isolated. And today is one of

269
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:05,154

270
00:09:05,154 --> 00:09:05,856

280
00:09:26,810 --> 00:09:29,145
years ago when I got on the

281
00:09:29,145 --> 00:09:29,979

282
00:09:29,979 --> 00:09:30,647

said publicly, many shutter to

286
00:09:37,921 --> 00:09:39,356
think where the Arlington area

287
00:09:39,356 --> 00:09:42,956
would be without Tim cost. He

288
00:09:43,260 --> 00:09:43,793
has been the the catalysts for

289
00:09:43,793 --> 00:09:46,793
all the development that is

290
00:09:47,396 --> 00:09:48,898

00:09:48,898 --> 00:09:49,600

vice PRESIDENT Lot of friends

299
00:10:09,986 --> 00:10:12,386

303
00:10:17,527 --> 00:10:19,228
you've placed in Jacksonville

304
00:10:19,228 --> 00:10:20,564
University. We've been here 92

305
00:10:20,564 --> 00:10:22,399
years. We've come before this

306
00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:24,301

00:10:24,301 --> 00:10:26,769
help. And you have never let

308
00:10:26,769 --> 00:10:27,904
us down most recently. My only

309
00:10:27,904 --> 00:10:28,505
item today was when we decided

310
00:10:28,505 --> 00:10:30,473
we would try to build a

311
00:10:30,473 --> 00:10:32,576
college of law. And COUNCILMAN

312
00:10:32,576 --> 00:10:34,811
And mayor, you will remember,

313
00:10:34,811 --> 00:10:35,812
we asked for a few million

314
00:10:35,812 --> 00:10:38,212
dollars and 14 students came

315
00:10:40,717 --> 00:10:41,384
in 4 years ago. This AUGUST,

316
00:10:41,384 --> 00:10:43,152
the university's College of

317
00:10:43,152 --> 00:10:46,222
Law will double. It will be

318
00:10:46,222 --> 00:10:47,757
215 students in just 4 years.

319
00:10:47,757 --> 00:10:48,424
It'll be the second ranked

320
00:10:48,424 --> 00:10:49,559
again University College of

321

Law in the state of Florida.

322
00:10:51,828 --> 00:10:53,763
Number 14 in the country. We

323
00:10:53,763 --> 00:10:55,965
could not have done it without

324
00:10:55,965 --> 00:10:56,599
this body. So we will continue

325
00:10:56,599 --> 00:10:58,601
over there to try to be a

326
00:10:58,601 --> 00:10:59,202

00:29:04,522 --> 00:29:06,391
measures that we took a vote

00:29:06,391 --> 00:29:07,726

City Hall last Tuesday on

838
00:29:16,134 --> 00:29:16,801
finance. We decided to defer a

839
00:29:16,801 --> 00:29:18,603
measure that would actually

840
00:29:18,603 --> 00:29:20,905
send militants into about a

841
00:29:20,905 --> 00:29:22,390
NOVEMBER. I was one of the

842
00:29:22,390 --> 00:29:23,841

843
00:29:23,841 --> 00:29:25,577
as well to voted in favor of

844
00:29:25,577 --> 00:29:28,790

00:29:28,790 --> 00:29:28,746
time for Some this is voted on

846
00:29:28,746 --> 00:29:29,480

847
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,450
consulting dc. They said, yes,

848
00:29:32,450 --> 00:29:33,840
we have enough time to extend

849
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:33,752
it. Should we need to for

850
00:29:33,752 --> 00:29:36,752
another 2 weeks or a month?

851
00:29:37,188 --> 00:29:38,122
Whatever the is, regardless of

852
00:29:38,122 --> 00:29:39,223
the fact, I mean, my calls I

853
00:29:39,223 --> 00:29:41,893
met with individuals and then

854
00:29:41,893 --> 00:29:43,270
on Friday held a public notice

855
00:29:43,270 --> 00:29:43,728
meeting a meeting where so

856
00:29:43,728 --> 00:29:45,663
many school board members, I

857
00:29:45,663 --> 00:29:47,265

Meek. So many people were

864
00:29:57,508 --> 00:29:58,176
there in that room. I took

865
00:29:58,176 --> 00:30:01,776
pictures of it was a packed

866
00:30:01,813 --> 00:30:02,480
house. Couple things came out

867
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,800
of it. Number one, my heart

868
00:30:06,985 --> 00:30:07,985
really was moved. It was an

869
00:30:07,985 --> 00:30:08,987
emotional meeting for me.

870
00:30:08,987 --> 00:30:10,956
Really be. The biggest thing

871
00:30:10,956 --> 00:30:11,656
was that I want to know

872
00:30:11,656 --> 00:30:13,558
exactly what would this mean?

873
00:30:13,558 --> 00:30:15,293
Should we take it to NOVEMBER?

874
00:30:15,293 --> 00:30:16,761
The answers here. It was

875
00:30:16,761 --> 00:30:17,428
abide. One of the things that

876
00:30:17,428 --> 00:30:19,531
really stood out to me the

877
00:30:19,531 --> 00:30:21,266
most was the fight that

878
00:30:21,266 --> 00:30:21,966
identity we are representing

879
00:30:21,966 --> 00:30:22,967
our community, the community

880
00:30:22,967 --> 00:30:23,701
devoted us, but at the end of

881
00:30:23,701 --> 00:30:25,236
they also have a right to have

882
00:30:25,236 --> 00:30:27,372
a right to vote. Let's not

883
00:30:27,372 --> 00:30:28,390
take that away from them.

884
00:30:28,390 --> 00:30:29,140
That's one thing that other

885
00:30:29,140 --> 00:30:31,309
countries don't have the right

886
00:30:31,309 --> 00:30:33,278
to But we do have a measure

887
00:30:33,278 --> 00:30:33,979
here. So tonight I'm going to

888
00:30:33,979 --> 00:30:35,800
ask MISTER PRESIDENT, if you

889
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,680

I'm looking for a second back

896
00:30:49,461 --> 00:30:51,630
and I thank you for that. I

897
00:30:51,630 --> 00:30:54,432
heard a lot about that. But

898
00:30:54,432 --> 00:30:55,300
also want clarify one thing.

899
00:30:55,300 --> 00:30:56,340

903
00:31:01,673 --> 00:31:02,974

904
00:31:02,974 --> 00:31:03,642
Letting this go on the ballot.

Simple as that. So now that we

915
00:31:18,924 --> 00:31:19,491

944
00:32:04,536 --> 00:32:06,936
pursuant to resolution adopted

945
00:32:07,940 --> 00:32:08,707
at a regular meeting shall

946
00:32:08,707 --> 00:32:09,974
direct the county

947
00:32:09,974 --> 00:32:11,109
commissioners to call an

948
00:32:11,109 --> 00:32:14,109
election at which the electors

949
00:32:14,879 --> 00:32:15,580
within the school district may

950
00:32:15,580 --> 00:32:16,314
approve an ad valorem millage

951
00:32:16,314 --> 00:32:18,714
as authorized under section 1,

952
00:32:19,384 --> 00:32:20,118
0, 1, 1.7, 1, 9, And so they

953
00:32:20,118 --> 00:32:21,190
did supply that resolution

954
00:32:21,190 --> 00:32:22,454
which is attached to the

955
00:32:22,454 --> 00:32:23,455
legislation pending before

956
00:32:23,455 --> 00:32:25,855
council or discussed being

957
00:32:25,857 --> 00:32:27,892
discussed at this moment. And

958
00:32:27,892 --> 00:32:29,360
so it does direct at the

959
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:30,280
council acting as the board of

960
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,428
County commissioners in the

961
00:32:32,430 --> 00:32:33,799
syndicate. In this instance

962
00:32:33,799 --> 00:32:34,533
would place it on the ballot

963
00:32:34,533 --> 00:32:35,901
or direct a supervisor to

964
00:32:35,901 --> 00:32:36,568
place it on the ballot for

965
00:32:36,568 --> 00:32:38,904
NOVEMBER. 3rd, thank you. I

966
00:32:38,904 --> 00:32:39,604
appreciate that with with that

967
00:32:39,604 --> 00:32:42,604
knowledge, I will support the

968
00:32:42,775 --> 00:32:43,375
motion to district.

969
00:32:43,375 --> 00:32:45,375
>> Alright COUNCILWOMAN

970
00:32:47,312 --> 00:32:47,913
Kleckner.

971
00:32:47,913 --> 00:32:49,913
>> Thank you. PRESIDENT

972
00:32:51,383 --> 00:32:53,552
Carrico It goes without saying

973
00:32:53,552 --> 00:32:55,952
that I support this.

974
00:32:56,588 --> 00:32:58,457
Discharging the bill from the

975
00:32:58,457 --> 00:33:00,692
finance committee so that we

976
00:33:00,692 --> 00:33:01,693
can take action on it today if

977
00:33:01,693 --> 00:33:02,494
I'm not mistaken, that is what

978
00:33:02,494 --> 00:33:03,228
we're doing at this time. I

979
00:33:03,228 --> 00:33:06,828
have some people looking at me

980
00:33:11,103 --> 00:33:14,506
like they're not sure. I duty

981
00:33:14,506 --> 00:33:18,106
as a council. Is to simply

982
00:33:18,843 --> 00:33:19,511
pass this bill on so that

983
00:33:19,511 --> 00:33:22,180
voters in Duval County can

984
00:33:22,180 --> 00:33:23,682
vote on it is not our job to

985
00:33:23,682 --> 00:33:25,651
decide whether or not they

986
00:33:25,651 --> 00:33:27,853
should have that right. They

987
00:33:27,853 --> 00:33:29,455
have that right by Florida

988
00:33:29,455 --> 00:33:30,122
statute. And so we need to

989
00:33:30,122 --> 00:33:33,122
fulfill our duty, which is

990
00:33:35,159 --> 00:33:36,228
simply to pass this bill on 2,

991
00:33:36,228 --> 00:33:38,628
2, the supervisor of elections

992
00:33:38,831 --> 00:33:40,299
so that it can go on

993
00:33:40,299 --> 00:33:40,999
NOVEMBER's ballot so that the

994
00:33:40,999 --> 00:33:43,868
people can decide whether or

995
00:33:43,868 --> 00:33:44,936
not they want to continue this

996
00:33:44,936 --> 00:33:47,336
amendment to supplement for

997
00:33:52,210 --> 00:33:53,445
teachers. 4. And for But

998
00:33:53,445 --> 00:33:54,460
ultimately, if you say no to

999
00:33:54,460 --> 00:33:57,460
this, you saying no to

1000
00:33:57,149 --> 00:33:59,351
children. And not just one or

1001
00:33:59,351 --> 00:34:01,351
2 children, but over 100,000

1002
00:34:03,221 --> 00:34:04,223
children. So consider that.

1003
00:34:04,223 --> 00:34:04,957
Thank you.

1004
00:34:04,957 --> 00:34:06,257
>> All right. And we are still

1005
00:34:06,257 --> 00:34:06,859
on the discharge. No one's in

1006
00:34:06,859 --> 00:34:07,526
the queue. Unfair. The

1007
00:34:07,526 --> 00:34:09,926
discharge signify by saying

1008
00:34:10,195 --> 00:34:10,729
Aye.

1009
00:34:10,729 --> 00:34:12,297
>> I

1010
00:34:12,297 --> 00:34:12,998
>> any oppose. Say nay to

1011
00:34:12,998 --> 00:34:16,435
discharge passes. Can I get a

1012
00:34:16,435 --> 00:34:17,569
motion? Second?

1013
00:34:17,569 --> 00:34:18,236
>> All right. Motion second on

1014
00:34:18,236 --> 00:34:21,836
the bill on the floor. Any

1015
00:34:24,175 --> 00:34:24,843
discussion on the bill?

1016
00:34:24,843 --> 00:34:27,243
>> All Doctor saying first

1017
00:34:30,949 --> 00:34:31,983
presents unrecognized.

1018
00:34:31,983 --> 00:34:32,750
>> Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT I

1019
00:34:32,750 --> 00:34:33,419
was one of those and finance

1020
00:34:33,419 --> 00:34:36,419
that initially the for this

1021
00:34:37,550 --> 00:34:40,655
bill. I was not comfortable at

1022
00:34:40,926 --> 00:34:41,627
that time with the bill. I had

1023
00:34:41,627 --> 00:34:45,227
an hour meeting with Dr Byrne

1024
00:34:45,731 --> 00:34:47,365
Air. Who was very persuasive

1025
00:34:47,365 --> 00:34:48,660
and the statistics that he

1026
00:34:48,660 --> 00:34:50,368
presented on the improvements

1027
00:34:50,368 --> 00:34:52,471
in our school system that I

1028
00:34:52,471 --> 00:34:55,471
think are secondary to this

1029
00:34:56,741 --> 00:34:58,576
bill to to to the to the mail

1030
00:34:58,576 --> 00:34:59,211
such as decreased turnover.

1031
00:34:59,211 --> 00:35:01,611
Decrease vacancies. And I

1032
00:35:04,490 --> 00:35:06,184
believe. This system will be a

1033
00:35:06,184 --> 00:35:08,584
a school system. Again,

1034
00:35:09,655 --> 00:35:11,690
secondary to this one bill.

1035
00:35:11,690 --> 00:35:14,459
He's at stated before. I don't

1036
00:35:14,459 --> 00:35:17,620
have a a ministerial, and I

1037
00:35:17,620 --> 00:35:17,696
feel strongly about that. I

1038
00:35:17,696 --> 00:35:20,265
have agree. But in a red

1039
00:35:20,265 --> 00:35:23,265
button. But I have been

1040
00:35:23,469 --> 00:35:25,470
convinced that that I am going

1041
00:35:25,470 --> 00:35:27,705
vote yes and put this on the

1042
00:35:27,705 --> 00:35:29,542
ballot because I think the the

1043
00:35:29,542 --> 00:35:30,676
evidence is there that this

1044
00:35:30,676 --> 00:35:31,377
that this male has made

1045
00:35:31,377 --> 00:35:33,377
significant improvements and

1046
00:35:33,712 --> 00:35:34,446
and our system and I want to

1047
00:35:34,446 --> 00:35:35,680
give the residents the ability

1048
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,680
to vote on it themselves.

1049
00:35:39,619 --> 00:35:41,619
Thank you.

1050
00:35:45,570 --> 00:35:46,325
>> Council members. Thank you,

1051
00:35:46,325 --> 00:35:47,860
MR. PRESIDENT we discharge it.

1052
00:35:47,860 --> 00:35:48,594
Thank you, colleagues for

1053
00:35:48,594 --> 00:35:49,328
that. I want to talk about the

1054
00:35:49,328 --> 00:35:52,430
actual bill itself and what it

1055
00:35:52,430 --> 00:35:53,164
means to our community. So

1056
00:35:53,164 --> 00:35:55,934
card marrying MR. You guys hit

1057
00:35:55,934 --> 00:35:57,603
it right on the Realistically,

1058
00:35:57,603 --> 00:35:58,837
we're looking out of 100%.

1059
00:35:58,837 --> 00:35:59,772
This is just a milks tension

1060
00:35:59,772 --> 00:36:00,439
we're putting on the ballot

1061
00:36:00,439 --> 00:36:01,139
were not voting on whether

1062
00:36:01,139 --> 00:36:03,241
we're going to extend or not.

1063
00:36:03,241 --> 00:36:04,442
Let the voters decide on that.

1064
00:36:04,442 --> 00:36:06,311
But here's what this measure

1065
00:36:06,311 --> 00:36:07,246
will do for the voters and for

1066
00:36:07,246 --> 00:36:07,946
the teacher sitting out there

1067
00:36:07,946 --> 00:36:08,613
and for the staff members in

1068
00:36:08,613 --> 00:36:09,882
the para professionals and

1069
00:36:09,882 --> 00:36:10,582
everybody out there, there are

1070
00:36:10,582 --> 00:36:12,417
people that are getting there

1071
00:36:12,417 --> 00:36:13,886
starting at $15 an hour. Their

1072
00:36:13,886 --> 00:36:16,286
last raise was $0.05 that

1073
00:36:16,755 --> 00:36:18,424
touched my heart. There's

1074
00:36:18,424 --> 00:36:18,493
survivors of b#

1075
00:36:18,493 --> 00:36:18,565
#

1076
00:36:18,565 --> 00:36:18,633
#

1077
00:36:18,633 --> 00:36:18,705
#

1078
00:36:18,705 --> 00:36:18,857
#

1079
00:36:18,857 --> 00:36:20,857
cancer

1080
00:36:22,394 --> 00:36:24,629
that are using these these

1081
00:36:24,629 --> 00:36:25,598
bonuses. They're not even

1082
00:36:25,598 --> 00:36:26,298
adding incoming their

1083
00:36:26,298 --> 00:36:27,565
salaries. This is just bonus

1084
00:36:27,565 --> 00:36:29,268
of $70,000 a year for them.

1085
00:36:29,268 --> 00:36:30,690
Using it to pay their medical

1086
00:36:30,690 --> 00:36:32,469
bills. These teachers, these

1087
00:36:32,671 --> 00:36:33,372
educators, the staff members,

1088
00:36:33,372 --> 00:36:34,720
they don't they don't need to

1089
00:36:34,720 --> 00:36:36,208
be wasting the time right now

1090
00:36:36,208 --> 00:36:36,876
here at City Hall. They need

1091
00:36:36,876 --> 00:36:38,944
to go out in their summer,

1092
00:36:38,944 --> 00:36:40,345
spent time with families, our

1093
00:36:40,345 --> 00:36:41,680
focus on the curriculum for

1094
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:42,547
next year. They need to focus

1095
00:36:42,547 --> 00:36:45,351
on their costumes. The longer

1096
00:36:45,351 --> 00:36:46,118
we prolong this long weeks,

1097
00:36:46,118 --> 00:36:46,752
10, this that's what they have

1098
00:36:46,752 --> 00:36:47,486
time to have their family

1099
00:36:47,486 --> 00:36:50,489
there. We have a short enough.

1100
00:36:50,489 --> 00:36:51,156
does. It is. So obviously I

1101
00:36:51,156 --> 00:36:54,156
think we're going to across

1102
00:36:54,259 --> 00:36:54,926
the board today. But the

1103
00:36:54,926 --> 00:36:57,326
significance of this larger

1104
00:36:58,263 --> 00:36:58,963
than just a vote. Yes or no.

1105
00:36:58,963 --> 00:36:59,698
It's about the likelihood of

1106
00:36:59,698 --> 00:37:00,899
these people here. I got to to

1107
00:37:00,899 --> 00:37:02,367
the people that take care of

1108
00:37:02,367 --> 00:37:03,101
our students and our family

1109
00:37:03,101 --> 00:37:05,103
members. So I really encourage

1110
00:37:05,103 --> 00:37:06,872
all of the ice to get a

1111
00:37:06,872 --> 00:37:08,274
unanimous vote. Yes, across

1112
00:37:08,274 --> 00:37:09,174
the board because ultimately

1113
00:37:09,174 --> 00:37:09,908
we owe this to This community

1114
00:37:09,908 --> 00:37:12,378
that the community decide what

1115
00:37:12,378 --> 00:37:13,945
they want to do and come

1116
00:37:13,945 --> 00:37:14,646
NOVEMBER. Hopefully they'll

1117
00:37:14,646 --> 00:37:16,150
they'll get the answers that

1118
00:37:16,150 --> 00:37:17,449
the request snow. That's what

1119
00:37:17,449 --> 00:37:18,116
happens for PRESIDENT. Thank

1120
00:37:18,116 --> 00:37:21,116
you. All right. Thank you.

1121
00:37:23,990 --> 00:37:24,690
O'clock marrying. PRESIDENT

1122
00:37:24,690 --> 00:37:25,791
Elect Allen keep getting tied

1123
00:37:25,791 --> 00:37:28,191
up, saying that PRESIDENT

1124
00:37:32,631 --> 00:37:33,666
Elect you're recognized. Thank

1125
00:37:33,666 --> 00:37:34,733
you, MR. PRESIDENT 4 years ago

1126
00:37:34,733 --> 00:37:35,701
in 2022, I voted no to put the

1127
00:37:35,701 --> 00:37:36,368
one on the ballot for the

1128
00:37:36,368 --> 00:37:38,368
school board.

1129
00:37:38,403 --> 00:37:40,406
>> And I did that for one

1130
00:37:40,406 --> 00:37:41,600
specific reason. There was

1131
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:42,308
another funding source

1132
00:37:42,308 --> 00:37:43,875
available immediately for

1133
00:37:43,875 --> 00:37:44,609
teacher compensation. Nearly

1134
00:37:44,609 --> 00:37:46,609
300 million dollar funding

1135
00:37:46,746 --> 00:37:47,813
source that could pay teacher

1136
00:37:47,813 --> 00:37:49,782
bonuses. Then to address the

1137
00:37:49,782 --> 00:37:50,783
critical teacher shortage.

1138
00:37:50,783 --> 00:37:52,184
Then as well as increased

1139
00:37:52,184 --> 00:37:53,850
compensation for the next 4

1140
00:37:53,850 --> 00:37:55,287
years. That funding sources,

1141
00:37:55,287 --> 00:37:57,523
the American rescue plan, the

1142
00:37:57,523 --> 00:37:58,790
Esser 2 funds. I was told at

1143
00:37:58,790 --> 00:38:00,692
the time by the district that

1144
00:38:00,692 --> 00:38:02,795
it cannot be used for teacher

1145
00:38:02,795 --> 00:38:03,929
compensation. But I read aloud

1146
00:38:03,929 --> 00:38:04,630
on the day of universe, United

1147
00:38:04,630 --> 00:38:06,966
States secretary of education

1148
00:38:06,966 --> 00:38:07,966
letter that said it could the

1149
00:38:07,966 --> 00:38:09,301
Florida Department of

1150
00:38:09,301 --> 00:38:09,969
Education told me it could

1151
00:38:09,969 --> 00:38:12,369
indeed other counties were

1152
00:38:13,138 --> 00:38:13,839
doing so in planning to use

1153
00:38:13,839 --> 00:38:15,808
that source. And Lou, having

1154
00:38:15,808 --> 00:38:16,775
to increase the millage rate

1155
00:38:16,775 --> 00:38:19,175
until 20 26 of the 1 million

1156
00:38:20,245 --> 00:38:20,946
crease then was unnecessary. I

1157
00:38:20,946 --> 00:38:22,682
felt voters were being misled

1158
00:38:22,682 --> 00:38:23,449
and teachers could have

1159
00:38:23,449 --> 00:38:25,849
immediately received a bonus

1160
00:38:25,951 --> 00:38:28,921
or compensation. But now our

1161
00:38:28,921 --> 00:38:29,821
funds have been depleted and

1162
00:38:29,821 --> 00:38:30,923
I'll leave it to the school

1163
00:38:30,923 --> 00:38:32,900
board to research how those

1164
00:38:32,900 --> 00:38:33,358
funds were used. Perhaps serve

1165
00:38:33,358 --> 00:38:34,827
a critical use, but they've

1166
00:38:34,827 --> 00:38:36,561
been depleted that I've had

1167
00:38:36,561 --> 00:38:37,263
several conversations with now

1168
00:38:37,263 --> 00:38:39,564
Superintendent Bernier of the

1169
00:38:39,564 --> 00:38:40,266
last few months on this issue

1170
00:38:40,266 --> 00:38:41,400
on the cuts they've made the

1171
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:42,134
consolidations the cost

1172
00:38:42,134 --> 00:38:44,503
savings, everything the school

1173
00:38:44,503 --> 00:38:46,505
district has done. And I'm

1174
00:38:46,505 --> 00:38:47,439
confident this time we're not

1175
00:38:47,439 --> 00:38:48,740
being misled. There is no

1176
00:38:48,740 --> 00:38:49,274
other funding source. So

1177
00:38:49,274 --> 00:38:51,943
tonight I will support putting

1178
00:38:51,943 --> 00:38:52,612
this measure on the ballot.

1179
00:38:52,612 --> 00:38:53,245
That's what we're voting on

1180
00:38:53,245 --> 00:38:54,413
here. We're not voting on

1181
00:38:54,413 --> 00:38:57,413
extending the one mill but

1182
00:38:58,217 --> 00:38:58,918
putting it on the ballot. The

1183
00:38:58,918 --> 00:39:00,652
1 million 1 1 million sorry.

1184
00:39:00,652 --> 00:39:01,387
The one millet stanchion.

1185
00:39:01,387 --> 00:39:02,588
That's for voters to decide in

1186
00:39:02,588 --> 00:39:04,988
NOVEMBER of estimate. Thanks.

1187
00:39:08,928 --> 00:39:10,928
Councilmember Day.

1188
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:11,730
>> Thank you, MR. In rules

1189
00:39:11,730 --> 00:39:14,133
when it came before Sarah

1190
00:39:14,133 --> 00:39:17,733
supported it. Then and I'll be

1191
00:39:19,105 --> 00:39:20,472
supporting it tonight as well.

1192
00:39:20,472 --> 00:39:21,106
Because I believe in the

1193
00:39:21,106 --> 00:39:23,506
fundamental of giving the

1194
00:39:23,542 --> 00:39:27,446
people a choice too a vote for

1195
00:39:27,446 --> 00:39:28,647
a tax or both not both for

1196
00:39:28,647 --> 00:39:29,481
attacks. And this is putting

1197
00:39:29,481 --> 00:39:32,451
it on the plate of the people

1198
00:39:32,451 --> 00:39:35,870
that. When they come up to

1199
00:39:35,870 --> 00:39:37,323
make that decision, they they

1200
00:39:37,323 --> 00:39:39,723
will vote their circumstance.

1201
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:43,729
And so the decision of the

1202
00:39:43,729 --> 00:39:44,430
American way. This is what we

1203
00:39:44,430 --> 00:39:45,831
should be doing. We should be

1204
00:39:45,831 --> 00:39:48,800
getting it out to the people

1205
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,938
to vote on a tax like this and

1206
00:39:52,938 --> 00:39:54,373
as I said in. Sedin rules,

1207
00:39:54,373 --> 00:39:56,208
this U.S. Pushing the green

1208
00:39:56,208 --> 00:39:58,760
button doesn't mean that

1209
00:39:58,760 --> 00:39:59,378
there's a one mill tax coming.

1210
00:39:59,378 --> 00:40:01,981
That means it's going to the

1211
00:40:01,981 --> 00:40:03,549
people and I support anything

1212
00:40:03,549 --> 00:40:05,617
that puts it on the people's

1213
00:40:05,617 --> 00:40:08,617
choice. Thank you, sir. Docs

and to make sure that we don't

1230
00:40:45,724 --> 00:40:48,528

1232
00:40:49,629 --> 00:40:53,229
What matters to you all. Thank

1233
00:40:56,340 --> 00:40:56,635
you. MR. Morrow the COUNCILMAN

1234
00:40:56,635 --> 00:40:58,635
From Arlington. You're

1235
00:40:59,872 --> 00:41:00,606
recognized, sir.

1236
00:41:00,606 --> 00:41:02,608
>> Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT, I

1237
00:41:02,608 --> 00:41:06,208
hesitate to get up because a

1238
00:41:07,446 --> 00:41:08,681
lot has been said. I supported

1239
00:41:08,681 --> 00:41:11,681
this measure in committee and

1240
00:41:12,852 --> 00:41:14,287
I'm going to support it Having

1241
00:41:14,287 --> 00:41:15,540
educators within my family. My

1242
00:41:15,540 --> 00:41:16,255
wife is a retired college

1243
00:41:16,255 --> 00:41:18,655
professor of got 2 daughters

1244
00:41:20,426 --> 00:41:23,426
that are teachers. I know

1245
00:41:23,863 --> 00:41:26,331
firsthand how educators on the

1246
00:41:26,331 --> 00:41:28,731
estimated on the compensated

1247
00:41:30,135 --> 00:41:30,836
under appreciated. And I think

1248
00:41:30,836 --> 00:41:33,500
this measure needs to be put

1249
00:41:33,500 --> 00:41:35,575
to the voters so that they can

1250
00:41:35,575 --> 00:41:37,209
express their values of

1251
00:41:37,209 --> 00:41:38,211
educators. And that's what

1252
00:41:38,211 --> 00:41:40,880
we're doing. We've always been

1253
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,480
a pass through and we're going

1254
00:41:44,650 --> 00:41:45,351
to let the community decide if

1255
00:41:45,351 --> 00:41:46,520
teaches a worthy of this. And

1256
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:48,200
I am convinced that when they

1257
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:49,955
go into the ballot box, it

1258
00:41:49,955 --> 00:41:52,355
will remember their teacher.

1259
00:41:52,859 --> 00:41:53,559
All of us. If you ask us who

1260
00:41:53,559 --> 00:41:55,861
was your favorite teacher, we

1261
00:41:55,861 --> 00:41:59,732
can all put. We can all name

1262
00:41:59,732 --> 00:42:01,600
someone in our journey because

1263
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:02,301
we would not be professionals

1264
00:42:02,301 --> 00:42:04,701
without educators. I'm going

1265
00:42:05,438 --> 00:42:06,138
to support this.

1266
00:42:06,138 --> 00:42:06,839

of this particular bill has

1300
00:43:26,686 --> 00:43:28,888
gone through several aspects

1301
00:43:28,888 --> 00:43:32,488
to in a sense check and

1302
00:43:34,427 --> 00:43:35,828
balance it. I have examined

1303
00:43:35,828 --> 00:43:39,428
this bill in several ways as

1304
00:43:39,999 --> 00:43:41,333
well. Financially. And when it

1305
00:43:41,333 --> 00:43:42,101
comes to the actual charter

1306
00:43:42,101 --> 00:43:45,701
and when it comes to the

1313
00:43:58,684 --> 00:43:59,685
had a question which I'm not

1314
00:43:59,685 --> 00:44:01,540
asking him to answer it today,

1315
00:44:01,540 --> 00:44:02,540
but I did have this question

1316
00:44:02,540 --> 00:44:02,655
because this is not the first

1317
00:44:02,655 --> 00:44:03,356
time this bill's been

1318
00:44:03,356 --> 00:44:04,900
presented before us. This is

1319
00:44:04,900 --> 00:44:07,600
like maybe the second possibly

1320
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:07,861
the 3rd time if I'm not

1321
00:44:07,861 --> 00:44:09,861
mistaken councilmember areas

1322
00:44:10,496 --> 00:44:13,165
and also spotted this bill at

1323
00:44:13,165 --> 00:44:13,866
one time. So with that being

1324
00:44:13,866 --> 00:44:14,934
said, and just the fact that

1325
00:44:14,934 --> 00:44:17,934
Katie was established by the

1326
00:44:20,673 --> 00:44:21,274
previous mayor and the set up

1327
00:44:21,274 --> 00:44:24,243
as far as the board was

1328
00:44:24,243 --> 00:44:26,513
established by him. He has a

1329
00:44:26,513 --> 00:44:27,146
right arm. Mayor Curry at the

1330
00:44:27,146 --> 00:44:27,947
time and he had the right

1331
00:44:27,947 --> 00:44:30,850
according to Chapter 50 and I

1332
00:44:30,850 --> 00:44:32,152
wouldn't go to do that. So

1333
00:44:32,152 --> 00:44:33,186
what the council member used

1334
00:44:33,186 --> 00:44:36,222
proposing to do is to change

1335
00:44:36,222 --> 00:44:37,223
the board. And so he's well

1336
00:44:37,223 --> 00:44:41,423
within his right to do so. And

1337
00:44:41,761 --> 00:44:44,864
we know that based on result

1338
00:44:44,864 --> 00:44:45,598
of his basically the result of

1339
00:44:45,598 --> 00:44:47,867
doing use the term steady. But

1340
00:44:47,867 --> 00:44:50,837
I know it's not a study. But

1341
00:44:50,837 --> 00:44:51,938
what I want to do with the

1342
00:44:51,938 --> 00:44:54,338
Floor amendment because so

1343
00:44:54,974 --> 00:44:56,242
many people have a tendency to

1344
00:44:56,242 --> 00:44:56,909
need recreate with queues

1345
00:44:56,909 --> 00:44:58,978
themselves when it comes to

1346
00:44:58,978 --> 00:45:01,378
bills that regard kj.

1347
00:45:03,749 --> 00:45:07,287
>> And some of the other. Some

1348
00:45:07,287 --> 00:45:07,920
of the other departments

1349
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,321
>> organizations that are

1350
00:45:09,321 --> 00:45:10,990
established under the

1351
00:45:10,990 --> 00:45:11,724
executive branch. You have the

1352
00:45:11,724 --> 00:45:14,724
floor amendment before you and

1353
00:45:15,270 --> 00:45:16,829
what it does is that say, for

1354
00:45:16,829 --> 00:45:18,664
example, if the council

1355
00:45:18,664 --> 00:45:19,331
PRESIDENT Has connections to

1356
00:45:19,331 --> 00:45:21,731
any entity that receives

1357
00:45:21,901 --> 00:45:24,301
funding from k j.

1358
00:45:25,838 --> 00:45:27,140
>> Then it seems to be. I want

1359
00:45:27,140 --> 00:45:28,241
to use term misleading, but it

1360
00:45:28,241 --> 00:45:29,808
seems that he or she should

1361
00:45:29,808 --> 00:45:33,408
not be allowed to appoint any

1362
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:34,800
board members. So then the

1363
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:35,581
power to do so with the

1364
00:45:35,581 --> 00:45:38,581
authority would defer to the

1365
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:41,254
vice PRESIDENT. In the case

1366
00:45:41,254 --> 00:45:42,822
that if the vice PRESIDENT Was

1367
00:45:42,822 --> 00:45:45,910
unable to do so, then that

1368
00:45:45,910 --> 00:45:48,910
board member, we'll stay on.

1369
00:45:48,795 --> 00:45:49,662
Cage. A board until there was

1370
00:45:49,662 --> 00:45:52,264
an opportunity win the vice

1371
00:45:52,264 --> 00:45:53,332
PRESIDENT With the PRESIDENT

1372
00:45:53,332 --> 00:45:56,332
With no longer have any

1373
00:45:57,690 --> 00:45:57,704
connections to kj. So that

1374
00:45:57,704 --> 00:45:58,404
essentially is the floor

1375
00:45:58,404 --> 00:46:00,804
amendment that I'm proposing

1376
00:46:02,742 --> 00:46:03,476
today. And I'll take any

1377
00:46:03,476 --> 00:46:07,760
questions and Are you on the

1378
00:46:09,882 --> 00:46:10,549
amendment? Bill? MISTER

1379
00:46:10,549 --> 00:46:12,850
PRESIDENT, I was hoping we

1380
00:46:12,850 --> 00:46:12,818
could an explanation of the

1381
00:46:12,818 --> 00:46:14,621
bill.

1382
00:46:14,621 --> 00:46:15,421
>> In general before we got in

1383
00:46:15,421 --> 00:46:16,555
the amendments. But I guess

1384
00:46:16,555 --> 00:46:18,955
lost that opportunity. All

1385
00:46:19,124 --> 00:46:20,226
right.

1386
00:46:20,226 --> 00:46:20,894
>> As to the amendment, no one

1387
00:46:20,894 --> 00:46:23,696
else in the queue. But I'd

1388
00:46:23,696 --> 00:46:24,396
like to speak to. So I guess I

1389
00:46:24,396 --> 00:46:27,396
will relinquish the chair to

1390
00:46:30,937 --> 00:46:31,637
the PRESIDENT-elect. MR.

1391
00:46:31,637 --> 00:46:33,637
PRESIDENT, you're recognized.

1392
00:46:35,207 --> 00:46:38,207
Think it was PRESIDENT. Oh,

1393
00:46:39,178 --> 00:46:40,213
yes. Sorry about Thank you,

1394
00:46:40,213 --> 00:46:40,913
MISTER. PRESIDENT-elect. I

1395
00:46:40,913 --> 00:46:43,750
rise. Just ask the questions

1396
00:46:43,750 --> 00:46:45,985
on 2, o t c when just called

1397
00:46:45,985 --> 00:46:48,121
the Carrico Amendment. I am

1398
00:46:48,121 --> 00:46:48,788
the PRESIDENT And I do have a

1399
00:46:48,788 --> 00:46:49,488
connection to kj. Obviously

1400
00:46:49,488 --> 00:46:51,657
through my employer, the boys

1401
00:46:51,657 --> 00:46:53,726
and girls clubs of Northeast

1402
00:46:53,726 --> 00:46:54,827
Florida. So do I have as just

1403
00:46:54,827 --> 00:46:55,428
a sitting council member now

1404
00:46:55,428 --> 00:46:56,129
is the PRESIDENT Have a

1405
00:46:56,129 --> 00:46:59,129
conflict in voting for board

1406
00:47:01,701 --> 00:47:02,102
members of kj.

1407
00:47:02,102 --> 00:47:02,735
>> Through

1408
00:47:02,735 --> 00:47:04,735
>> PRESIDENT Designate to

1409
00:47:06,500 --> 00:47:06,706
council PRESIDENT Carrico. I

1410
00:47:06,706 --> 00:47:07,206
believe any time we looked at

1411
00:47:07,206 --> 00:47:07,874
that for you, the

1412
00:47:07,874 --> 00:47:08,842
determination has been that

1413
00:47:08,842 --> 00:47:09,976
no, you're not precluded from

1414
00:47:09,976 --> 00:47:12,178
voting on appointments to the

1415
00:47:12,178 --> 00:47:14,578
Kids. Hope Alliance board.

1416
00:47:15,314 --> 00:47:17,317
>> So as a can vote on members

1417
00:47:17,317 --> 00:47:19,385
of the has already cleared

1418
00:47:19,385 --> 00:47:20,687
through through ethics. Voted

1419
00:47:20,687 --> 00:47:21,354
on several kj board

1420
00:47:21,354 --> 00:47:21,987
appointments and their ceo

1421
00:47:21,987 --> 00:47:23,990
over the years. And it's

1422
00:47:23,990 --> 00:47:26,726
always been clear through I

1423
00:47:26,726 --> 00:47:27,560
don't currently have a

1424
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:28,394
conflict voting kj board

1425
00:47:28,394 --> 00:47:31,397
member. So I don't think I

1426
00:47:31,397 --> 00:47:32,640
should have a conflict in

1427
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:34,464
nominating one because I'm

1428
00:47:34,700 --> 00:47:35,335
just one person nominating the

1429
00:47:35,335 --> 00:47:37,604
board member of the body

1430
00:47:37,604 --> 00:47:39,472
decides as 19 who goes on

1431
00:47:39,472 --> 00:47:41,608
that. So if you don't agree

1432
00:47:41,608 --> 00:47:42,908
with the someone, if I were

1433
00:47:42,908 --> 00:47:43,743
able to nominate them to kj,

1434
00:47:43,743 --> 00:47:45,812
then you can vote it down. And

1435
00:47:45,812 --> 00:47:47,379
that's your freedom. And I

1436
00:47:47,379 --> 00:47:48,214
think amendment for that

1437
00:47:48,214 --> 00:47:48,881
reason is irrelevant. So I

1438
00:47:48,881 --> 00:47:53,810
would vote no for it. And I

1439
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:57,520
would ask you to do same.

1440
00:48:00,794 --> 00:48:01,528
Don't you? All right, Roland,

1441
00:48:01,528 --> 00:48:02,696
through the q, dr, Stanley are

1442
00:48:02,696 --> 00:48:03,596
still up there. I think you're

1443
00:48:03,596 --> 00:48:05,498
just on issue is big on the

1444
00:48:05,498 --> 00:48:06,199
bill. First, I will call on

1445
00:48:06,199 --> 00:48:09,199
you first council member past

1446
00:48:09,936 --> 00:48:10,870
PRESIDENT Met coalition. Thank

1447
00:48:10,870 --> 00:48:12,471
you, MR. PRESIDENT, I support

1448
00:48:12,471 --> 00:48:15,471
the amendment. I think it

1449
00:48:16,642 --> 00:48:19,345
makes sense. I don't support

1450
00:48:19,345 --> 00:48:19,979
the bill. Don't think

1451
00:48:19,979 --> 00:48:20,679
anything's broken. We're

1452
00:48:20,679 --> 00:48:24,279
trying to fix it. We already

1453
00:48:26,386 --> 00:48:28,221
have. Park moment. But I am. I

1454
00:48:28,221 --> 00:48:30,621
support. I support the

1455
00:48:31,491 --> 00:48:33,891
amendment. That's what I've

1456
00:48:35,862 --> 00:48:38,862
seen this year. Think it's

1457
00:48:41,968 --> 00:48:44,104
needed. I think. A

1458
00:48:44,104 --> 00:48:46,104
self-policing measure. Some

1459
00:48:46,906 --> 00:48:51,106
way. I look at it. And I'm

1460
00:48:52,945 --> 00:48:53,679
tired of the. Mud puddles keep

1461
00:48:53,679 --> 00:48:57,279
stepping into when it comes to

1462
00:48:57,683 --> 00:48:58,385
not for profits. And so I

1463
00:48:58,385 --> 00:48:59,180
supported and I would urge my

1464
00:48:59,180 --> 00:49:00,453
colleagues to support the

1465
00:49:00,453 --> 00:49:02,853
bill. Thank you. COUNCILWOMAN

1466
00:49:06,259 --> 00:49:09,259
Clerk Mary. Thank you. So

1467
00:49:11,197 --> 00:49:13,320
PRESIDENT To the body. It's a

1468
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,268
way that is floor amendment is

1469
00:49:15,268 --> 00:49:15,735
a way to avoid the appearance

1470
00:49:15,735 --> 00:49:17,503
of impropriety.

1471
00:49:17,503 --> 00:49:21,307
>> It's a it's a way to avoid

1472
00:49:21,307 --> 00:49:22,242
the things that this council

1473
00:49:22,242 --> 00:49:22,942
MAY not necessarily do, but

1474
00:49:22,942 --> 00:49:25,942
there's a perception that we

1475
00:49:27,246 --> 00:49:28,948
do. So this is a in a sense of

1476
00:49:28,948 --> 00:49:29,682
protection and we want the

1477
00:49:29,682 --> 00:49:33,190
people to trust us. We need to

1478
00:49:33,190 --> 00:49:35,888
do things that. Allow the

1479
00:49:35,888 --> 00:49:37,991
people to have trust in us.

1480
00:49:37,991 --> 00:49:39,159
And so I'm asking you to vote.

1481
00:49:39,159 --> 00:49:39,860
But this floor amendment once

1482
00:49:39,860 --> 00:49:42,695
again, if the person who sits

1483
00:49:42,695 --> 00:49:43,429
in the chair PRESIDENT.

1484
00:49:43,429 --> 00:49:45,829
Doesn't have any connections

1485
00:49:47,990 --> 00:49:47,834
with k j. For at least by

1486
00:49:47,834 --> 00:49:49,769
views. And you can look at the

1487
00:49:49,769 --> 00:49:51,805
Floor Amendment. That person

1488
00:49:51,805 --> 00:49:54,907
can vote freely and we can in

1489
00:49:54,907 --> 00:49:56,176
a sense. Make the assumption

1490
00:49:56,176 --> 00:49:58,578
that there will be any says of

1491
00:49:58,578 --> 00:50:01,470
impropriety. But does the fact

1492
00:50:01,470 --> 00:50:03,447
that there are connections?

1493
00:50:04,818 --> 00:50:07,818
There's that and once again,

1494
00:50:07,821 --> 00:50:10,924
the authority goes to the vice

1495
00:50:10,924 --> 00:50:11,625
PRESIDENT. And once again, if

1496
00:50:11,625 --> 00:50:14,625
the vice PRESIDENT That same

1497
00:50:15,829 --> 00:50:16,530
kind of situation, then that

1498
00:50:16,530 --> 00:50:19,530
board member will continue to

1499
00:50:20,166 --> 00:50:20,900
remain on kj until we have a

1500
00:50:20,900 --> 00:50:22,602
person in the vice PRESIDENT

1501
00:50:22,602 --> 00:50:23,803
Position or present position

1502
00:50:23,803 --> 00:50:26,539
who has no connections to

1503
00:50:26,539 --> 00:50:30,739
gauge it. I ask that you both

1504
00:50:30,977 --> 00:50:31,544
this up.

1505
00:50:31,544 --> 00:50:32,579
>> Councilmember Vice

1506
00:50:32,579 --> 00:50:33,280
PRESIDENT Elect Joe Carlucci

1507
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,680
recognized. All right. Thank

1508
00:50:35,782 --> 00:50:36,616
you, MR. PRESIDENT. I'm not

1509
00:50:36,616 --> 00:50:39,554
gonna support the amendment. I

1510
00:50:39,554 --> 00:50:40,586
think

1511
00:50:40,586 --> 00:50:41,622
>> More.

1512
00:50:41,622 --> 00:50:42,488
>> Ethics laws in place right

1513
00:50:42,488 --> 00:50:43,189
now that prevent there's

1514
00:50:43,189 --> 00:50:45,191
there's there's nobody voting

1515
00:50:45,191 --> 00:50:46,526
conflict that we just heard

1516
00:50:46,526 --> 00:50:47,861
not to mention the floor

1517
00:50:47,861 --> 00:50:48,595
minutes as it prohibited. It

1518
00:50:48,595 --> 00:50:50,595
prohibits the council

1519
00:50:51,598 --> 00:50:52,532
PRESIDENT From appointing and

1520
00:50:52,532 --> 00:50:54,634
member of the there. You're

1521
00:50:54,634 --> 00:50:56,369
not a point. Does not a

1522
00:50:56,369 --> 00:50:57,103
unilateral move. So I don't

1523
00:50:57,103 --> 00:50:58,400
who drafted the amendment, but

1524
00:50:58,400 --> 00:50:58,871
it's actually word incorrectly

1525
00:50:58,871 --> 00:51:01,271
was because the council

1526
00:51:01,641 --> 00:51:03,510
PRESIDENT Doesn't point

1527
00:51:03,510 --> 00:51:04,110
anybody they nominated person

1528
00:51:04,110 --> 00:51:05,211
and then the full body

1529
00:51:05,211 --> 00:51:07,611
appoints the full-body votes

1530
00:51:08,549 --> 00:51:09,616
for that. So that in of

1531
00:51:09,616 --> 00:51:10,350
itself, this whole of Florida

1532
00:51:10,350 --> 00:51:11,510
should be voided just for that

1533
00:51:11,510 --> 00:51:12,886
one reason or community, but

1534
00:51:12,886 --> 00:51:13,886
not to support either way. I

1535
00:51:13,886 --> 00:51:16,886
think the ethics are covering

1536
00:51:17,858 --> 00:51:19,993
us. In the full clear of this.

1537
00:51:19,993 --> 00:51:20,293
So I'm not going support Thank

1538
00:51:20,293 --> 00:51:20,960
you.

1539
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,960
>> Alright, ducks a loan on

1540
00:51:26,660 --> 00:51:26,733
the amendment.

1541
00:51:26,733 --> 00:51:29,133
>> Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT

1542
00:51:29,436 --> 00:51:31,672
has a past PRESIDENT.

1543
00:51:31,672 --> 00:51:32,272
>> It really bothers me that

1544
00:51:32,272 --> 00:51:33,730
we're infringing on the

1545
00:51:33,730 --> 00:51:36,730
appointment process of of a

1546
00:51:37,245 --> 00:51:37,911
PRESIDENT. And my question

1547
00:51:37,911 --> 00:51:41,511
would be, where does it go

1548
00:51:42,182 --> 00:51:42,883
from here? If it's Kha

1549
00:51:42,883 --> 00:51:45,283
today's, it's something else

1550
00:51:45,852 --> 00:51:46,753
in the future. I will not be

1551
00:51:46,753 --> 00:51:48,753
supporting the amendment.

1552
00:51:51,240 --> 00:51:53,240
Thank you.

1553
00:51:57,970 --> 00:51:57,798
>> Once again, one quick Mart.

1554
00:51:57,798 --> 00:52:00,198
Thank you. PRESIDENT Carrico

1555
00:52:00,266 --> 00:52:00,834
to respond to MR.

1556
00:52:00,834 --> 00:52:02,834
Councilmember Salem's

1557
00:52:05,370 --> 00:52:06,773
question. It's not going to

1558
00:52:06,773 --> 00:52:07,474
various places. This

1559
00:52:07,474 --> 00:52:09,576
particular floor amendment is

1560
00:52:09,576 --> 00:52:10,944
about this particular bill in

1561
00:52:10,944 --> 00:52:13,146
the same way that it was

1562
00:52:13,146 --> 00:52:15,281
established by the previous

1563
00:52:15,281 --> 00:52:16,950
mayor that all of the members

1564
00:52:16,950 --> 00:52:19,152
of kj would be appointed by

1565
00:52:19,152 --> 00:52:19,819
the mayor because cages under

1566
00:52:19,819 --> 00:52:22,819
the executive branch of our

1567
00:52:23,220 --> 00:52:23,724
government. In the same way

1568
00:52:23,724 --> 00:52:25,459
that you just make a decision

1569
00:52:25,459 --> 00:52:29,590
you want to change it. So

1570
00:52:31,664 --> 00:52:31,899
there's no. Anything

1571
00:52:31,899 --> 00:52:31,974
s#

1572
00:52:31,974 --> 00:52:32,610
#

1573
00:52:32,610 --> 00:52:32,133
#

1574
00:52:32,133 --> 00:52:32,204
#

1575
00:52:32,204 --> 00:52:32,282
#

1576
00:52:32,282 --> 00:52:32,356
#

1577
00:52:32,356 --> 00:52:32,429
#

1578
00:52:32,429 --> 00:52:32,501
#

1579
00:52:32,501 --> 00:52:32,580
#

1580
00:52:32,580 --> 00:52:32,866
#

1581
00:52:32,866 --> 00:52:33,866
. This is this bill

1582
00:52:33,866 --> 00:52:36,770
and this bill alone. So it's

1583
00:52:36,770 --> 00:52:38,710
not going to any other bills.

1584
00:52:38,710 --> 00:52:38,738
Just like you made a decision

1585
00:52:38,738 --> 00:52:42,175
to want to change the board

1586
00:52:42,175 --> 00:52:44,278
for kj. I am asking proposing

1587
00:52:44,278 --> 00:52:45,779
a floor amendment for simply

1588
00:52:45,779 --> 00:52:48,682
too. Look at the aspects there

1589
00:52:48,682 --> 00:52:52,882
or the has been that MAY arise

1590
00:52:53,386 --> 00:52:54,554
as a result of all 19 of MAY

1591
00:52:54,554 --> 00:52:55,221
have some connections to kj.

1592
00:52:55,221 --> 00:52:58,157
And so that MAY solve that

1593
00:52:58,157 --> 00:52:58,859
problem that MAY arise. All

1594
00:52:58,859 --> 00:53:00,859
right. PRESIDENT-elect Powell

1595
00:53:02,729 --> 00:53:03,964
and you're recognized. Thank

1596
00:53:03,964 --> 00:53:04,964
you, MR. PRESIDENT COUNCILMAN

1597
00:53:04,964 --> 00:53:06,766
Woman Clark Mary, admire the

1598
00:53:06,766 --> 00:53:08,835
intent behind this. But I also

1599
00:53:08,835 --> 00:53:09,970
think it's unnecessary. I have

1600
00:53:09,970 --> 00:53:11,271
no connection to cage. Next

1601
00:53:11,271 --> 00:53:12,272
PRESIDENT And the next vice

1602
00:53:12,272 --> 00:53:12,973
PRESIDENT Has no connection.

1603
00:53:12,973 --> 00:53:14,841
Kj said there will be no need

1604
00:53:14,841 --> 00:53:16,977
for this for the next 2 years.

1605
00:53:16,977 --> 00:53:18,645
>> And I really don't think

1606
00:53:18,645 --> 00:53:19,379
it's necessary could be part

1607
00:53:19,379 --> 00:53:20,130
of a larger bill separate than

1608
00:53:20,130 --> 00:53:22,382
this. But I'm gonna vote.

1609
00:53:22,382 --> 00:53:24,151
Thanks. COUNCILMAN Carlucci

1610
00:53:24,151 --> 00:53:24,818
for the second time. All

1611
00:53:24,818 --> 00:53:27,818
right. Thank you. As chair,

1612
00:53:28,655 --> 00:53:29,689
I'll be brief

1613
00:53:29,689 --> 00:53:30,958
>> the other is and I don't I

1614
00:53:30,958 --> 00:53:32,659
appreciate the intent of this.

1615
00:53:32,659 --> 00:53:34,861
I do. And I get the safe

1616
00:53:34,861 --> 00:53:35,796
measure. But but the reason we

1617
00:53:35,796 --> 00:53:37,297
have a local ethics

1618
00:53:37,297 --> 00:53:37,998
department, we have a state

1619
00:53:37,998 --> 00:53:39,833
ethics partners because it's

1620
00:53:39,833 --> 00:53:41,135
widespread and it covers all

1621
00:53:41,135 --> 00:53:43,603
of our. It covers all of our

1622
00:53:43,603 --> 00:53:45,603
board appointees, appointments

1623
00:53:48,508 --> 00:53:51,445
so it's just kj or if it's Jr

1624
00:53:51,445 --> 00:53:52,812
d or whatever covers all of

1625
00:53:52,812 --> 00:53:53,547
those boards all together. So

1626
00:53:53,547 --> 00:53:54,347
that's why I think we have

1627
00:53:54,347 --> 00:53:55,381
safe measures in place right

1628
00:53:55,381 --> 00:53:56,500
now that are being followed.

1629
00:53:56,500 --> 00:53:56,750
And that's why we're not be

1630
00:53:56,750 --> 00:53:58,218
supporting the Florida. Thank

1631
00:53:58,218 --> 00:54:00,218
you. COUNCILWOMAN Collect

1632
00:54:00,387 --> 00:54:02,560
money for the 4th time. Thank

1633
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,426
you because you can't go. I

1634
00:54:05,426 --> 00:54:06,359
appreciate your comments. The

1635
00:54:06,359 --> 00:54:08,610
one thing I would do want to

1636
00:54:08,610 --> 00:54:08,762
respond to bag that you put a

1637
00:54:08,762 --> 00:54:09,463
particular name and there are

1638
00:54:09,463 --> 00:54:11,863
particular person. This bill

1639
00:54:12,198 --> 00:54:12,866
is not about.

1640
00:54:12,866 --> 00:54:13,567
>> It is not about doesn't

1641
00:54:13,567 --> 00:54:15,669
care happens to be sitting in

1642
00:54:15,669 --> 00:54:19,239
that seat. Now it is not about

1643
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:19,973
Vice PRESIDENT PRESIDENT-elect

1644
00:54:19,973 --> 00:54:22,876
Holland. It is not about visit

1645
00:54:22,876 --> 00:54:23,577
beauty. It is not. It is about

1646
00:54:23,577 --> 00:54:26,880
home ever sit in those seats

1647
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:27,614
in the same way that this bill

1648
00:54:27,614 --> 00:54:29,650
should be about. This mayor is

1649
00:54:29,650 --> 00:54:31,151
should be about mayors, not

1650
00:54:31,151 --> 00:54:34,151
this mayor, but mayors and

1651
00:54:34,354 --> 00:54:35,210
thank you. All right. Past

1652
00:54:35,210 --> 00:54:37,421
present Carlucci for second

1653
00:54:41,394 --> 00:54:42,950
time.

1654
00:54:42,950 --> 00:54:42,729
>> I can certainly understand

1655
00:54:42,729 --> 00:54:43,663
why some people wouldn't

1656
00:54:43,663 --> 00:54:46,630
support it. Been was

1657
00:54:46,934 --> 00:54:49,334
important. Just because I'm

1658
00:54:51,571 --> 00:54:52,238
tired. Some of the things that

1659
00:54:52,238 --> 00:54:55,838
are going on, just tired of

1660
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:56,743
it. I think we need to

1661
00:54:56,743 --> 00:54:59,743
sometimes put a shot across

1662
00:55:01,415 --> 00:55:02,820
the bow. No more of this

1663
00:55:02,820 --> 00:55:03,416
nonsense. That's what we've

1664
00:55:03,416 --> 00:55:06,586
had this year. And then I'm

1665
00:55:06,586 --> 00:55:09,156
tired of it. I believe in the

1666
00:55:09,156 --> 00:55:10,824
institution of body. And I

1667
00:55:10,824 --> 00:55:13,824
think the integrity of it.

1668
00:55:15,950 --> 00:55:16,830
These be held up an amendment

1669
00:55:16,830 --> 00:55:20,134
like this and not pass. But it

1670
00:55:20,134 --> 00:55:20,767
does send a message. And

1671
00:55:20,767 --> 00:55:22,336
that's what vote on this

1672
00:55:22,336 --> 00:55:25,272
amendment is doing. I didn't

1673
00:55:25,272 --> 00:55:25,905
suspect it would pass

1674
00:55:25,905 --> 00:55:28,305
supporting it because the

1675
00:55:29,242 --> 00:55:30,577
messages, sons. And we need to

1676
00:55:30,577 --> 00:55:33,577
serious about our jobs up

1677
00:55:39,853 --> 00:55:40,520
here. What we do. Past present

1678
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:41,221
Carla to no one else in the

1679
00:55:41,221 --> 00:55:45,421
queue. So all in favor of the

1680
00:55:45,626 --> 00:55:46,360
amendment to raise your hand.

1681
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,360
>> Those who oppose raise your

1682
00:55:51,297 --> 00:55:54,297
hand. The amendment fails. I

1683
00:55:54,969 --> 00:55:56,437
moved the bill as amended.

1684
00:55:56,437 --> 00:55:57,700
Motion second on the bill as

1685
00:55:57,700 --> 00:55:59,700
amended past Presidents,

1686
00:56:02,142 --> 00:56:03,430
Salem.

1687
00:56:03,430 --> 00:56:05,120
>> Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT as

1688
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:06,213
we discussed at missed a

1689
00:56:06,213 --> 00:56:09,213
factor, could you come forward

1690
00:56:09,716 --> 00:56:13,316
and just give a brief? 2 or 3

1691
00:56:13,921 --> 00:56:15,288
minute. Discussion on how you

1692
00:56:15,288 --> 00:56:18,580
got to where you are today and

1693
00:56:18,580 --> 00:56:21,658
then I'll take it from there.

1694
00:56:21,795 --> 00:56:22,529
That's ok, MISTER PRESIDENT.

1695
00:56:22,529 --> 00:56:23,297
>> Yeah, let's just have tough

1696
00:56:23,297 --> 00:56:25,566
act come down. We'll give him

1697
00:56:25,566 --> 00:56:28,566
his own time House 3 minutes.

1698
00:56:30,537 --> 00:56:31,538
But the 3 minutes is great for

1699
00:56:31,538 --> 00:56:35,738
me. I I don't know if it'll

1700
00:56:36,110 --> 00:56:38,110
take 3 minutes.

1701
00:56:38,111 --> 00:56:40,514
>> So through the chair to the

1702
00:56:40,514 --> 00:56:41,215
body, this Rose when council

1703
00:56:41,215 --> 00:56:43,615
areas COUNCILMAN Areas filed

1704
00:56:43,884 --> 00:56:45,719
his bill on this point, we

1705
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:46,887
looked at it. We had some

1706
00:56:46,887 --> 00:56:47,521
concerns whether it complied

1707
00:56:47,521 --> 00:56:50,521
with the charter and the

1708
00:56:50,524 --> 00:56:53,193
separation of powers. We give

1709
00:56:53,193 --> 00:56:54,462
a preliminary opinion

1710
00:56:54,462 --> 00:56:56,862
regarding that in preparation

1711
00:56:56,964 --> 00:57:01,164
for a vote that was to occur.

1712
00:57:01,202 --> 00:57:01,869
We then did had a little more

1713
00:57:01,869 --> 00:57:04,370
time and deeper dive. I

1714
00:57:04,370 --> 00:57:05,139
appreciate the input of some

1715
00:57:05,139 --> 00:57:07,740
outside attorneys and former

1716
00:57:07,740 --> 00:57:09,900
general counsel's giving some

1717
00:57:09,900 --> 00:57:12,346
input and asking us to make

1718
00:57:12,346 --> 00:57:13,546
another look at the issue. And

1719
00:57:13,546 --> 00:57:14,582
so we did that and we took a

1720
00:57:14,582 --> 00:57:17,582
deeper dive. We engage other

1721
00:57:18,753 --> 00:57:19,420
attorneys and our office. The

1722
00:57:19,420 --> 00:57:20,353
result of that. And I don't

1723
00:57:20,353 --> 00:57:23,824
think study is the wrong term

1724
00:57:23,824 --> 00:57:25,659
councilmen. Mark Murray, we

1725
00:57:25,659 --> 00:57:26,426
did to our research and are

1726
00:57:26,426 --> 00:57:28,695
studying of that and it's a

1727
00:57:28,695 --> 00:57:30,364
little more nuance than we

1728
00:57:30,364 --> 00:57:32,364
originally. Preliminarily

1729
00:57:34,301 --> 00:57:35,802
indicated. And so there's a

1730
00:57:35,802 --> 00:57:36,603
nuanced approach. It's not

1731
00:57:36,603 --> 00:57:37,271
categorically that appointment

1732
00:57:37,271 --> 00:57:39,671
powers purely an executive

1733
00:57:40,974 --> 00:57:41,742
function. It's much more

1734
00:57:41,742 --> 00:57:44,742
nuance with an analysis of

1735
00:57:45,110 --> 00:57:46,414
what power is being used and

1736
00:57:46,414 --> 00:57:48,381
the interplay between the

1737
00:57:48,381 --> 00:57:50,781
legislative and the executive

1738
00:57:51,952 --> 00:57:54,388
body. We issued a memo, one of

1739
00:57:54,388 --> 00:57:55,956
my brightest attorneys issued

1740
00:57:55,956 --> 00:57:56,690
a memo. Believe it was stated

1741
00:57:56,690 --> 00:58:00,290
last month and have big fact

1742
00:58:00,494 --> 00:58:01,128
it my head that provided an

1743
00:58:01,128 --> 00:58:03,764
analysis of that and that

1744
00:58:03,764 --> 00:58:04,464
summarized the thinking of the

1745
00:58:04,464 --> 00:58:07,464
ogc attorneys working on that

1746
00:58:07,868 --> 00:58:11,137
matter. And in short order for

1747
00:58:11,137 --> 00:58:14,737
the issues for kj and the

1748
00:58:15,576 --> 00:58:17,745
library board. Using the 4

1749
00:58:17,745 --> 00:58:18,412
factors from a case in

1750
00:58:18,412 --> 00:58:20,681
Bennett. We also used in a

1751
00:58:20,681 --> 00:58:23,810
previous binding opinion. We

1752
00:58:23,617 --> 00:58:24,818
determined that it was a very

1753
00:58:24,818 --> 00:58:26,620
close call, meaning that it

1754
00:58:26,620 --> 00:58:27,321
was close to a violation of

1755
00:58:27,321 --> 00:58:30,321
the separation of powers and

1756
00:58:31,125 --> 00:58:33,794
try and in our charter. But

1757
00:58:33,794 --> 00:58:34,495
based on the fact that the

1758
00:58:34,495 --> 00:58:37,495
mayor retained a majority of

1759
00:58:37,831 --> 00:58:38,399
the appointment powers and the

1760
00:58:38,399 --> 00:58:40,668
interplay on how the

1761
00:58:40,668 --> 00:58:41,568
appointments get confirmed.

1762
00:58:41,568 --> 00:58:44,568
The nature of power was

1763
00:58:45,238 --> 00:58:46,240
brought to hear. We thought it

1764
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,509
was a close call, but we

1765
00:58:48,509 --> 00:58:49,243
thought past the charter to

1766
00:58:49,243 --> 00:58:50,143
shuttle test. I'm still trying

1767
00:58:50,143 --> 00:58:53,580
to get that word adopted. I'm

1768
00:58:53,580 --> 00:58:54,648
going to use it again. We

1769
00:58:54,648 --> 00:58:56,950
thought it past the charter to

1770
00:58:56,950 --> 00:58:57,884
test and that it is something

1771
00:58:57,884 --> 00:59:00,884
that if passed would not

1772
00:59:01,121 --> 00:59:02,223
violate the charter. Now have

1773
00:59:02,223 --> 00:59:05,192
to take any questions from the

1774
00:59:05,192 --> 00:59:05,893
board. The

1775
00:59:05,893 --> 00:59:06,593
>> All right. Thank you. Now

1776
00:59:06,593 --> 00:59:07,761
we'll just go through the q.

1777
00:59:07,761 --> 00:59:10,865
So doctors say on your first.

1778
00:59:10,865 --> 00:59:11,532
Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT.

1779
00:59:11,532 --> 00:59:12,232
>> First of all, I want to

1780
00:59:12,232 --> 00:59:15,232
thank MISTER Factor for going

1781
00:59:15,235 --> 00:59:15,902
through the process. He did.

1782
00:59:15,902 --> 00:59:18,773
We have worked on this for

1783
00:59:18,773 --> 00:59:19,706
about 6 months and several

1784
00:59:19,706 --> 00:59:21,942
past General counsel's have

1785
00:59:21,942 --> 00:59:23,310
interacted with him and he

1786
00:59:23,310 --> 00:59:25,379
came to the conclusion he did.

1787
00:59:25,379 --> 00:59:28,379
And I appreciate that. Why

1788
00:59:30,450 --> 00:59:34,500
these 2? Y kha and why the

1789
00:59:34,522 --> 00:59:35,189
library board kj. If you if

1790
00:59:35,189 --> 00:59:36,924
you watch kha their issues

1791
00:59:36,924 --> 00:59:39,927
that kha. And we have bill

1792
00:59:39,927 --> 00:59:42,950
appointments to that, it's

1793
00:59:42,950 --> 00:59:44,495
almost a 65 million dollar

1794
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:45,866
budget. And I believe the city

1795
00:59:45,866 --> 00:59:46,900
council should be engaged in

1796
00:59:46,900 --> 00:59:49,300
that beyond passing their

1797
00:59:50,871 --> 00:59:51,738
budget and be able to during

1798
00:59:51,738 --> 00:59:52,373
the year have some input

1799
00:59:52,373 --> 00:59:54,773
through the PRESIDENT And

1800
00:59:55,642 --> 00:59:57,642
those appointments. Number 2,

1801
00:59:58,450 --> 00:59:58,779
the library again, 40 plus

1802
00:59:58,779 --> 01:00:00,681
million dollars as we face the

1803
01:00:00,681 --> 01:00:01,649
budget. We're about ready to

1804
01:00:01,649 --> 01:00:02,215
get into. We have a lot

1805
01:00:02,215 --> 01:00:04,615
parades all over this

1806
01:00:07,187 --> 01:00:07,888
community. I believe the city

1807
01:00:07,888 --> 01:00:10,288
council through our PRESIDENT

1808
01:00:10,424 --> 01:00:12,359
Should have appointments to

1809
01:00:12,359 --> 01:00:14,280
address issues within the

1810
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:14,896
library system. I've raised

1811
01:00:14,896 --> 01:00:18,496
him in the budget process for

1812
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:20,901
several years. We've got the

1813
01:00:20,901 --> 01:00:23,104
Internet. We've got chatgpt

1814
01:00:23,104 --> 01:00:23,937
and we're still using the same

1815
01:00:23,937 --> 01:00:25,937
library system essentially

1816
01:00:25,940 --> 01:00:28,410
that we've used for the last

1817
01:00:28,410 --> 01:00:29,677
50 years. We've got small

1818
01:00:29,677 --> 01:00:30,310
libraries. We've got big

1819
01:00:30,310 --> 01:00:30,945
libraries. We've got big

1820
01:00:30,945 --> 01:00:33,345
decisions to make library

1821
01:00:35,482 --> 01:00:36,217
system. I want the city

1822
01:00:36,217 --> 01:00:39,817
council to have the ability to

1823
01:00:41,389 --> 01:00:42,890
make appointments. Both these

1824
01:00:42,890 --> 01:00:42,689
bills respect the strong

1825
01:00:42,689 --> 01:00:44,625
Merrill, former of our

1826
01:00:44,625 --> 01:00:47,250
government. That was very

1827
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:51,628
important to me. As MR. Factor

1828
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:52,699
said in his analysis. That's

1829
01:00:52,699 --> 01:00:55,990
council PRESIDENT Gets 3 of

1830
01:00:56,470 --> 01:00:57,138
the 7 for the school board and

1831
01:00:57,138 --> 01:00:59,873
5 of the 12 on the Library

1832
01:00:59,873 --> 01:01:01,675
Board of trustees. Number 2,

1833
01:01:01,675 --> 01:01:02,343
it we don't get those

1834
01:01:02,343 --> 01:01:04,343
appointments until somebody

1835
01:01:05,313 --> 01:01:05,946
rolls off. I'm not trying and

1836
01:01:05,946 --> 01:01:08,946
too distraught kha or the

1837
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:14,888
school board. Or the library.

1838
01:01:14,888 --> 01:01:15,522
Gradually council PRESIDENT,

1839
01:01:15,522 --> 01:01:17,922
we get those appointments

1840
01:01:18,225 --> 01:01:18,926
people rolled off. And I think

1841
01:01:18,926 --> 01:01:21,326
that's important to recognize

1842
01:01:23,300 --> 01:01:23,698
is part of this bill. We are

1843
01:01:23,698 --> 01:01:26,698
not taking power away from

1844
01:01:27,435 --> 01:01:30,435
anybody. I keep hearing that

1845
01:01:31,271 --> 01:01:31,972
this bill is for his forever.

1846
01:01:31,972 --> 01:01:32,706
I have one year left on this

1847
01:01:32,706 --> 01:01:36,306
council. I'm not going to make

1848
01:01:38,279 --> 01:01:40,148
any appointments. And it's for

1849
01:01:40,148 --> 01:01:42,350
future mayors as well. So this

1850
01:01:42,350 --> 01:01:43,117
is not a one-year bill taking

1851
01:01:43,117 --> 01:01:44,840
power away from this mayor.

1852
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:47,840
This is legislation that will

1853
01:01:51,910 --> 01:01:53,694
go on pass this. All future

1854
01:01:53,694 --> 01:01:54,394
cow. All future mayors will

1855
01:01:54,394 --> 01:01:55,620
buy buy this, whether they're

1856
01:01:55,620 --> 01:01:56,230
Republicans or Democrats in

1857
01:01:56,230 --> 01:01:57,198
the same with the City

1858
01:01:57,198 --> 01:02:00,798
Council. I think it's a good

1859
01:02:01,369 --> 01:02:02,570
bill. It's a fair deal. It's a

1860
01:02:02,570 --> 01:02:04,138
fair deal to the mayor. And

1861
01:02:04,138 --> 01:02:05,573
it's a fair bill to the city

1862
01:02:05,573 --> 01:02:06,440
council. We should have these

1863
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:08,840
appointments. Thank you very

1864
01:02:08,976 --> 01:02:10,277
much, MISTER PRESIDENT.

1865
01:02:10,277 --> 01:02:13,277
>> Thank you. Pat presents a

1866
01:02:20,555 --> 01:02:21,255
loan that's you're recognized.

1867
01:02:21,255 --> 01:02:21,956
>> Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT,

1868
01:02:21,956 --> 01:02:22,657
thank you to adopt the same

1869
01:02:22,657 --> 01:02:25,657
for bringing the bill. Thank

1870
01:02:28,829 --> 01:02:29,464
you, too. MR. Factor for his

1871
01:02:29,464 --> 01:02:31,798
diligence in the finding

1872
01:02:31,798 --> 01:02:33,734
responsibility in the fact

1873
01:02:33,734 --> 01:02:34,435
that concluding the

1874
01:02:34,435 --> 01:02:36,835
legislation does not violate

1875
01:02:38,906 --> 01:02:41,750
the city charter. If you can't

1876
01:02:41,750 --> 01:02:41,776
speak to the one my dad was

1877
01:02:41,776 --> 01:02:43,644
93. He was having some vision

1878
01:02:43,644 --> 01:02:47,844
or issues, but he would get in

1879
01:02:48,549 --> 01:02:49,250
his car and drive. And I asked

1880
01:02:49,250 --> 01:02:50,517
him, why are you doing that?

1881
01:02:50,517 --> 01:02:51,152
How you able to do it? He said

1882
01:02:51,152 --> 01:02:54,152
son, I between the white

1883
01:02:55,890 --> 01:02:55,756
lines. I'm one of those who

1884
01:02:55,756 --> 01:02:56,624
believe in staying in your

1885
01:02:56,624 --> 01:02:58,624
lane.

1886
01:02:58,725 --> 01:03:00,725
>> And

1887
01:03:01,963 --> 01:03:04,932
>> for some reason in my

1888
01:03:04,932 --> 01:03:05,666
spirit, this bill seems like

1889
01:03:05,666 --> 01:03:09,266
it's one of those that because

1890
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:13,574
we can. I'm just the opposite

1891
01:03:13,574 --> 01:03:17,174
because we can doesn't mean we

1892
01:03:17,878 --> 01:03:19,346
should. So I'm going to vote.

1893
01:03:19,346 --> 01:03:20,470
It's probably going to pass.

1894
01:03:20,470 --> 01:03:22,517
But that's the reason for my

1895
01:03:22,517 --> 01:03:25,517
no vote. Thank you. PRESIDENT

1896
01:03:28,923 --> 01:03:29,624
Carlucci. I don't think I

1897
01:03:29,624 --> 01:03:33,224
could have said it any better

1898
01:03:35,697 --> 01:03:36,364
than. COUNCILMAN America. One

1899
01:03:36,364 --> 01:03:39,834
of the next boards we don't

1900
01:03:39,834 --> 01:03:41,836
build into. And by the way, we

1901
01:03:41,836 --> 01:03:42,836
do have checks and balances.

1902
01:03:42,836 --> 01:03:45,472
We there was plumber. The came

1903
01:03:45,472 --> 01:03:48,409
up to the library board we

1904
01:03:48,409 --> 01:03:49,110
needed a partner. So mayor had

1905
01:03:49,110 --> 01:03:52,710
to go back and find somebody

1906
01:03:57,551 --> 01:03:58,285
else. I air reaches out to us.

1907
01:03:58,285 --> 01:04:01,885
For help and putting police in

1908
01:04:04,558 --> 01:04:07,558
to these. Committees and so

1909
01:04:08,362 --> 01:04:10,362
forth commissions. Something

1910
01:04:10,598 --> 01:04:13,598
about kids Hope Alliance. Last

1911
01:04:13,934 --> 01:04:16,934
year, too. Also those that

1912
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:21,342
make this bill feel right. And

1913
01:04:21,342 --> 01:04:22,643
like, I don't want to go into

1914
01:04:22,643 --> 01:04:26,843
detail on as I don't want to.

1915
01:04:27,882 --> 01:04:28,582
But but I just just didn't

1916
01:04:28,582 --> 01:04:32,182
feel like right thing to do.

1917
01:04:33,154 --> 01:04:34,789
And it will pass. But mistake,

1918
01:04:34,789 --> 01:04:37,189
don't think it's fixing

1919
01:04:37,224 --> 01:04:38,826
anything. It's a little bit. I

1920
01:04:38,826 --> 01:04:39,494
think we're going to start

1921
01:04:39,494 --> 01:04:41,762
looking at, you know what,

1922
01:04:41,762 --> 01:04:43,430
we're going to. But we're

1923
01:04:43,430 --> 01:04:47,630
going to have a point us to.

1924
01:04:48,102 --> 01:04:48,669
We should look at all of them.

1925
01:04:48,669 --> 01:04:48,738
This is a little w#

1926
01:04:48,738 --> 01:04:48,812
#

1927
01:04:48,812 --> 01:04:48,890
#

1928
01:04:48,890 --> 01:04:49,360
#

1929
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:51,360
nilly

1930
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:54,672
to me. Go into these 2. Well,

1931
01:04:55,543 --> 01:04:58,946
what's going to be next? This

1932
01:04:58,946 --> 01:04:59,580
is not our line. We always

1933
01:04:59,580 --> 01:05:01,115
trying to reach over and

1934
01:05:01,115 --> 01:05:03,551
getting executives line. So we

1935
01:05:03,551 --> 01:05:06,888
try to do certain people try

1936
01:05:06,888 --> 01:05:07,588
to do appear. We just need to

1937
01:05:07,588 --> 01:05:11,188
stick to our knitting and do

1938
01:05:13,961 --> 01:05:14,862
our job. We we do that. We do

1939
01:05:14,862 --> 01:05:18,666
a good job for the city, but

1940
01:05:18,666 --> 01:05:19,366
we always trying to trying to

1941
01:05:19,366 --> 01:05:21,201
investigate are always trying

1942
01:05:21,201 --> 01:05:21,903
to get somebody else business

1943
01:05:21,903 --> 01:05:23,772
mayor's business. That's what

1944
01:05:23,772 --> 01:05:25,573
we're doing here. I'm just

1945
01:05:25,573 --> 01:05:28,276
just going over all that

1946
01:05:28,276 --> 01:05:30,276
Thanks. COUNCILWOMAN Clark

1947
01:05:34,382 --> 01:05:35,249
murdered.

1948
01:05:35,249 --> 01:05:37,649
>> Thank you. Carrico. I'm

1949
01:05:38,519 --> 01:05:39,220
very glad to hear that the

1950
01:05:39,220 --> 01:05:40,755
introduce have this bill has

1951
01:05:40,755 --> 01:05:43,155
changed rhetoric because when

1952
01:05:43,157 --> 01:05:44,125
he first talked about it some

1953
01:05:44,125 --> 01:05:44,825
months ago and it does seem

1954
01:05:44,825 --> 01:05:46,270
like 6 months out things been

1955
01:05:46,270 --> 01:05:48,596
that long. But it does seem

1956
01:05:48,596 --> 01:05:49,263
like a long time ago he

1957
01:05:49,263 --> 01:05:52,263
exclaimed that the man was

1958
01:05:53,434 --> 01:05:55,834
taking away power. Without

1959
01:05:55,905 --> 01:05:56,470
considering the fact that once

1960
01:05:56,470 --> 01:05:57,138
again kj kj Board was

1961
01:05:57,138 --> 01:05:59,538
established by Mayor Lenny

1962
01:05:59,974 --> 01:06:00,641
Curry. It goes without saying,

1963
01:06:00,641 --> 01:06:03,578
but I would say anyway. I'm

1964
01:06:03,578 --> 01:06:05,679
not going to support the bill.

1965
01:06:05,679 --> 01:06:06,381
I'm not going to support the

1966
01:06:06,381 --> 01:06:07,150
bill that many of the reasons

1967
01:06:07,150 --> 01:06:07,715
that MISTER Carlucci get.

1968
01:06:07,715 --> 01:06:10,715
She's me councilmember met to

1969
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:11,752
mention. It seems unnecessary

1970
01:06:11,752 --> 01:06:15,352
and it concerns me in looking

1971
01:06:17,492 --> 01:06:18,459
at the 5, you term data data

1972
01:06:18,459 --> 01:06:20,962
that that we use an edge in

1973
01:06:20,962 --> 01:06:23,362
the education. Well, the

1974
01:06:25,767 --> 01:06:27,935
amount of money. Supplied to

1975
01:06:27,935 --> 01:06:30,935
kj has gone from 35 Million.

1976
01:06:35,309 --> 01:06:37,309
2, 60 million less. COUNCILMAN

1977
01:06:37,312 --> 01:06:37,945
Landon. And with that comes

1978
01:06:37,945 --> 01:06:40,345
actually concerns and my

1979
01:06:41,482 --> 01:06:42,349
opinion. And I think the fact

1980
01:06:42,349 --> 01:06:43,951
that the might the mayor gets

1981
01:06:43,951 --> 01:06:46,520
to a point and we get to come

1982
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:48,689
from is a perfect setup.

1983
01:06:48,689 --> 01:06:49,691
Doesn't. It gives us that

1984
01:06:49,691 --> 01:06:50,658
check and balance. So we as a

1985
01:06:50,658 --> 01:06:52,893
council, we do have a say. So

1986
01:06:52,893 --> 01:06:53,961
as to who goes on the board

1987
01:06:53,961 --> 01:06:57,431
and I think that's fair, it's

1988
01:06:57,431 --> 01:06:58,232
very as it is. So with this

1989
01:06:58,232 --> 01:07:00,232
particular scenario, it's

1990
01:07:01,836 --> 01:07:03,370
going to be the mayor point

1991
01:07:03,370 --> 01:07:03,738
and we can from and then we

1992
01:07:03,738 --> 01:07:05,807
appoint the PRESIDENT A point

1993
01:07:05,807 --> 01:07:06,508
and then we come from. That

1994
01:07:06,508 --> 01:07:08,743
seems to be out of balance in

1995
01:07:08,743 --> 01:07:10,612
my opinion. The other things

1996
01:07:10,612 --> 01:07:12,130
that were said is that that

1997
01:07:12,130 --> 01:07:14,716
would not engage. We are there

1998
01:07:14,716 --> 01:07:16,251
are several problems up. It

1999
01:07:16,251 --> 01:07:16,884
was nice to the library that

2000
01:07:16,884 --> 01:07:19,530
the council Tuesday, the

2001
01:07:19,530 --> 01:07:19,754
introduce of this bill mention

2002
01:07:19,754 --> 01:07:22,754
those problems can be solved

2003
01:07:22,957 --> 01:07:23,658
without changing kj. In fact,

2004
01:07:23,658 --> 01:07:24,358
those bombs going to all been

2005
01:07:24,358 --> 01:07:26,428
the interim since you've been

2006
01:07:26,428 --> 01:07:27,950
on council. So once again, I

2007
01:07:27,950 --> 01:07:30,950
will not be supporting this

2008
01:07:30,899 --> 01:07:31,532
bill. Thank you. All right. No

2009
01:07:31,532 --> 01:07:32,166
one else is in the queue.

2010
01:07:32,166 --> 01:07:34,566
Please open about record

2011
01:07:45,913 --> 01:07:47,913

2012

>> 9 yeas, 6 nays.

>> By your action, you

2014
01:07:55,957 --> 01:07:57,225

Council for listening. This is

2099
01:10:13,528 --> 01:10:15,300
how I want us to move forward

2100
01:10:15,300 --> 01:10:18,630
and keep the momentum for our

2101
01:10:18,834 --> 01:10:19,901

school psychologist. I'm one

2111
01:10:41,156 --> 01:10:41,789
of the hundreds of students

2126
01:11:03,444 --> 01:11:05,844

throughout the community and

2130
01:11:11,190 --> 01:11:12,453
we serve military families,

2131
01:11:12,453 --> 01:11:13,621
many of whom come to

2132
01:11:13,621 --> 01:11:14,355
Jacksonville specifically for

2133
01:11:14,355 --> 01:11:17,355
the supports for students with

2134
01:11:18,593 --> 01:11:19,160
special needs. The work. We do

2135
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:19,961
impacts the broader

2136
01:11:19,961 --> 01:11:22,197
Jacksonville community and not

2137
01:11:22,197 --> 01:11:22,897
just our public schools. So

2138
01:11:22,897 --> 01:11:24,766
tonight, I want to thank you

2139
01:11:24,766 --> 01:11:26,668
for giving voters the

2140
01:11:26,668 --> 01:11:27,301
opportunity to consider this

2141
01:11:27,301 --> 01:11:28,370
measure and giving us the

2142
01:11:28,370 --> 01:11:29,710
chance to make your case

2143
01:11:29,710 --> 01:11:29,805
directly to the community we

2144
01:11:29,805 --> 01:11:30,438
serve. Thank you.

2145
01:11:30,438 --> 01:11:32,838
>> Thank you. MISS Katie

2146
01:11:36,411 --> 01:11:37,579
Hathaway.

2147
01:11:37,579 --> 01:11:39,347
>> Good evening, Kitty.

2148
01:11:39,347 --> 01:11:40,315
Happily addresses on file. I'm

2149
01:11:40,315 --> 01:11:42,160
here as a frustrated resident

2150
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:43,885
watching politicians from

2151
01:11:43,885 --> 01:11:44,552
Tallahassee come to our city

2152
01:11:44,552 --> 01:11:46,387
and recycle talking points

2153
01:11:46,387 --> 01:11:48,256
about wasteful spending. Well,

2154
01:11:48,256 --> 01:11:50,392
offering no specifics or

2155
01:11:50,392 --> 01:11:51,260
solutions. And let's remember

2156
01:11:51,260 --> 01:11:52,861
how our local government

2157
01:11:52,861 --> 01:11:54,960
works. Jackson was a 19 member

2158
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:54,796
City Council. This council

2159
01:11:54,796 --> 01:11:57,196
controls the budget process.

2160
01:11:57,900 --> 01:11:58,634
They review it and then they

2161
01:11:58,634 --> 01:11:59,301
ultimately approve how

2162
01:11:59,301 --> 01:12:01,603
taxpayer dollars are being

2163
01:12:01,603 --> 01:12:02,437
spent in the city. So if we're

2164
01:12:02,437 --> 01:12:03,138
going to have an honest

2165
01:12:03,138 --> 01:12:04,606
conversation about spending,

2166
01:12:04,606 --> 01:12:07,308
let's have one that's based on

2167
01:12:07,308 --> 01:12:08,510
facts, not political theater.

2168
01:12:08,510 --> 01:12:10,646
And let's also remember that

2169
01:12:10,646 --> 01:12:11,479
the people, Jacksonville elect

2170
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:13,848
local people, leaders to make

2171
01:12:13,848 --> 01:12:15,817
local decisions and local

2172
01:12:15,817 --> 01:12:16,852
control matters. The people

2173
01:12:16,852 --> 01:12:17,919
who live work, raise families

2174
01:12:17,919 --> 01:12:18,586
and run businesses here.

2175
01:12:18,586 --> 01:12:20,421
Understand our community's

2176
01:12:20,421 --> 01:12:21,456
needs better than politicians

2177
01:12:21,456 --> 01:12:23,856
dropping in from Tallahassee

2178
01:12:25,227 --> 01:12:26,194
for a press conference is

2179
01:12:26,194 --> 01:12:27,295
investing in youth programs,

2180
01:12:27,295 --> 01:12:27,996
parks, libraries, neighborhood

2181
01:12:27,996 --> 01:12:29,831
improvements, housing, senior

2182
01:12:29,831 --> 01:12:30,665
and veteran programs and

2183
01:12:30,665 --> 01:12:33,650
services that help families

2184
01:12:33,368 --> 01:12:35,304
thrive is considered wasteful.

2185
01:12:35,304 --> 01:12:36,571
That I think most Jacksonville

2186
01:12:36,571 --> 01:12:37,238
residents would disagree.

2187
01:12:37,238 --> 01:12:37,940
Jacksonville's growing and

2188
01:12:37,940 --> 01:12:38,607
thriving because of the work

2189
01:12:38,607 --> 01:12:39,174
being done across the city.

2190
01:12:39,174 --> 01:12:41,760
And I appreciate the

2191
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:42,778
investments being made to

2192
01:12:42,778 --> 01:12:43,411
contribute to our quality of

2193
01:12:43,411 --> 01:12:44,112
life and helping Jackson

2194
01:12:44,112 --> 01:12:47,616
become one of the best cities

2195
01:12:47,616 --> 01:12:48,317
in the Southeast. Yes, we

2196
01:12:48,317 --> 01:12:48,917
still face challenges and we

2197
01:12:48,917 --> 01:12:49,584
should absolutely have

2198
01:12:49,584 --> 01:12:51,984
conversations about how to

2199
01:12:52,855 --> 01:12:53,855
spend taxpayer dollars wisely.

2200
01:12:53,855 --> 01:12:55,123
But those those conversations

2201
01:12:55,123 --> 01:12:56,658
require facts, transparency

2202
01:12:56,658 --> 01:12:58,526
and solutions, not political

2203
01:12:58,526 --> 01:12:59,161
stunts designed to score

2204
01:12:59,161 --> 01:13:00,461
points while providing no

2205
01:13:00,461 --> 01:13:01,930
actual plan to move

2206
01:13:01,930 --> 01:13:02,564
Jacksonville port. Please go

2207
01:13:02,564 --> 01:13:03,265
out and advocate for our

2208
01:13:03,265 --> 01:13:04,833
public schools, our teachers

2209
01:13:04,833 --> 01:13:05,534
and our kids. Please help get

2210
01:13:05,534 --> 01:13:07,934
the Duval schools referendum

2211
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:08,336
across the finish line. Thank

2212
01:13:08,336 --> 01:13:10,205
you.

2213
01:13:10,205 --> 01:13:11,106
>> Thank u next up, Kathleen

2214
01:13:11,106 --> 01:13:12,140
Prayer and then the 5 after

2215
01:13:12,140 --> 01:13:13,508
that. Please come on down.

2216
01:13:13,508 --> 01:13:15,508
Brian Jefferson, Robert

2217
01:13:16,110 --> 01:13:16,712
Stafford, Duchy Stevens,

2218
01:13:16,712 --> 01:13:18,813
Brenda Lepenski and to my to

2219
01:13:18,813 --> 01:13:19,547
head to spare.

2220
01:13:19,547 --> 01:13:22,830
>> My name is Kathleen. Per my

2221
01:13:22,830 --> 01:13:22,718
information is on file. All

2222
01:13:22,718 --> 01:13:25,118
citizens want prudent and

2223
01:13:25,186 --> 01:13:27,455
honest city planning is

2224
01:13:27,455 --> 01:13:29,910
neither prudent nor on his

2225
01:13:29,910 --> 01:13:31,920
honest to keep changing zoning

2226
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:32,394
codes and land uses. Whenever

2227
01:13:32,394 --> 01:13:35,300
demands it, especially when it

2228
01:13:35,300 --> 01:13:36,398
will suit only them just as

2229
01:13:36,398 --> 01:13:38,933
the city would not allow me to

2230
01:13:38,933 --> 01:13:40,200
build a 5,000 Watt radio

2231
01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:42,971
station or Pig Irl Dietz owned

2232
01:13:42,971 --> 01:13:45,273
property. The city should not

2233
01:13:45,273 --> 01:13:48,430
also not allow any developer

2234
01:13:48,430 --> 01:13:49,770
to build a 15,000 seat soccer

2235
01:13:49,770 --> 01:13:51,477
stadium multiplex on property

2236
01:13:53,480 --> 01:13:53,749
currently zoned for rowdy,

2237
01:13:53,749 --> 01:13:56,149
especially when this project

2238
01:13:56,184 --> 01:13:58,220
will detrimentally impact to

2239
01:13:58,220 --> 01:13:58,920
residential neighborhoods. The

2240
01:13:58,920 --> 01:13:59,654
stadium developers obviously

2241
01:13:59,654 --> 01:14:03,254
don't care that the purpose of

2242
01:14:03,525 --> 01:14:04,259
crm owning is to develop

2243
01:14:04,259 --> 01:14:05,360
smaller commute, commercial

2244
01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:05,994
venues as a gradual transition

2245
01:14:05,994 --> 01:14:08,394
from residential to major

2246
01:14:10,310 --> 01:14:11,266
commercial. Projects. So it's

2247
01:14:11,266 --> 01:14:13,168
up to the city to first look

2248
01:14:13,168 --> 01:14:14,869
at the how a project like

2249
01:14:14,869 --> 01:14:16,872
this, aka Stadium impact the

2250
01:14:16,872 --> 01:14:18,973
surrounding areas and deny the

2251
01:14:18,973 --> 01:14:20,309
application at its start since

2252
01:14:20,309 --> 01:14:21,900
it drastically harm the

2253
01:14:21,900 --> 01:14:23,345
character amenities that make

2254
01:14:23,345 --> 01:14:24,120
neighborhoods like fox Chase

2255
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:26,412
Woman Station and wondered

2256
01:14:28,550 --> 01:14:30,786
when the helm attractive. If

2257
01:14:30,786 --> 01:14:32,254
however, the city authorities

2258
01:14:32,254 --> 01:14:32,887
have no problems ruining

2259
01:14:32,887 --> 01:14:34,122
comment. Communities like

2260
01:14:34,122 --> 01:14:36,191
this. How can we trust him for

2261
01:14:36,191 --> 01:14:36,825
anything else? Move the same

2262
01:14:36,825 --> 01:14:38,694
soccer stadium to another

2263
01:14:38,694 --> 01:14:41,496
location that will not affect

2264
01:14:41,496 --> 01:14:43,496
presidential residence. Also

2265
01:14:44,132 --> 01:14:46,132
2026 3, 6, 4, and yes 2026.

2266
01:14:46,168 --> 01:14:48,168
'02, to 7. Thank you.

2267
01:14:48,437 --> 01:14:51,437
>> next up for and Jefferson.

2268
01:14:53,808 --> 01:14:54,509
Followed by Robert Stafford.

2269
01:14:54,509 --> 01:14:57,509
>> My name is Brian Jefferson

2270
01:14:57,813 --> 01:15:00,490
and my addresses on file.

2271
01:15:00,490 --> 01:15:01,850
Gonna keep it quick and 2025

2272
01:15:01,850 --> 01:15:03,818
there were over 5 jso involved

2273
01:15:03,818 --> 01:15:05,854
shootings related a mental

2274
01:15:05,854 --> 01:15:06,655
health crisis. The community

2275
01:15:06,655 --> 01:15:08,655
deserves a guarantee

2276
01:15:08,723 --> 01:15:09,958
precautions, ensuring that

2277
01:15:09,958 --> 01:15:11,627
they actions of jso officers

2278
01:15:11,627 --> 01:15:12,160
will not result in their

2279
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:14,160
death. What they're

2280
01:15:14,362 --> 01:15:15,264
experiencing a mental health

2281
01:15:15,264 --> 01:15:16,398
crisis. A mental health crisis

2282
01:15:16,398 --> 01:15:19,398
should not be a death

2283
01:15:20,236 --> 01:15:22,636
sentence. Point blank period.

2284
01:15:23,239 --> 01:15:23,906
It's those officers are not

2285
01:15:23,906 --> 01:15:24,906
trained to de-escalate and

2286
01:15:24,906 --> 01:15:25,507
respond to a mental health

2287
01:15:25,507 --> 01:15:27,907
crisis leading to these

2288
01:15:28,143 --> 01:15:30,780
incidents again and again. And

2289
01:15:30,780 --> 01:15:31,980
we see that jso is, but it is

2290
01:15:31,980 --> 01:15:32,714
continuing to grow and grow

2291
01:15:32,714 --> 01:15:35,517
being the lion's share of the

2292
01:15:35,517 --> 01:15:38,219
city's budget every year. But

2293
01:15:38,219 --> 01:15:39,888
we do not see any additional

2294
01:15:39,888 --> 01:15:41,289
care put into mental health

2295
01:15:41,289 --> 01:15:41,990
responses. And one of the

2296
01:15:41,990 --> 01:15:44,827
victims of this lack of care

2297
01:15:44,827 --> 01:15:46,695
was Rashad Martin. He was 32

2298
01:15:46,695 --> 01:15:47,863
years old and he was diagnosed

2299
01:15:47,863 --> 01:15:50,263
with schizophrenia. His family

2300
01:15:50,632 --> 01:15:51,366
called 9-1-1 and OCTOBER 2025.

2301
01:15:51,366 --> 01:15:53,680
And his mother didn't want him

2302
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:53,869
arrested. You want to come

2303
01:15:53,869 --> 01:15:56,869
help? Martin ran in tripped

2304
01:15:57,573 --> 01:15:58,340
and was detained. He showed

2305
01:15:58,340 --> 01:15:59,307
signs of medical distress and

2306
01:15:59,307 --> 01:16:02,510
he was Baker acted in, died in

2307
01:16:02,510 --> 01:16:03,145
the psychiatric facility. His

2308
01:16:03,145 --> 01:16:05,545
mother, Vanessa, is still

2309
01:16:06,482 --> 01:16:07,149
waiting for answers from jso.

2310
01:16:07,149 --> 01:16:07,983
She is asking for a trained

2311
01:16:07,983 --> 01:16:08,950
mental health professionals on

2312
01:16:08,950 --> 01:16:11,950
the scene of mental health

2313
01:16:13,656 --> 01:16:14,824
crises in not police. So Jane

2314
01:16:14,824 --> 01:16:15,657
Stolz obviously the jcc is the

2315
01:16:15,657 --> 01:16:17,726
man to simple. We want to see

2316
01:16:17,726 --> 01:16:19,361
the creation of a permanent

2317
01:16:19,361 --> 01:16:20,620
mental health emergency

2318
01:16:20,620 --> 01:16:20,763
response. Team professionals

2319
01:16:20,763 --> 01:16:21,997
instead of police officers to

2320
01:16:21,997 --> 01:16:23,231
spawned these situations. We

2321
01:16:23,231 --> 01:16:24,733
want to see the enforcement.

2322
01:16:24,733 --> 01:16:26,735
Thank you, sir. Next up,

2323
01:16:26,735 --> 01:16:29,135

2022, the Florida Department

01:17:18,453 --> 01:17:20,853
construction costs risen by

2341
01:17:22,491 --> 01:17:24,193

01:17:26,940 --> 01:17:26,795

Apply construction escalation

race from 2022 to present. And

2351
01:17:43,178 --> 01:17:43,879
that's how we got 3.35, we

2352
01:17:43,879 --> 01:17:46,982
could have been here 3 and a

2353
01:17:46,982 --> 01:17:47,550
half years ago. We could have

2354
01:17:47,550 --> 01:17:48,984
been there. The data

2355
01:17:48,984 --> 01:17:51,984
referendum was passed and we

2356
01:17:52,921 --> 01:17:55,921
tie. The cost it. Students

2367
01:18:23,151 --> 01:18:24,553
of that morning. Couldn't

2368
01:18:24,553 --> 01:18:26,953
doing this illegal dumping.

2369
01:18:29,258 --> 01:18:30,258
They came out yesterday. These

2370
01:18:30,258 --> 01:18:32,461
2 occasion booties and the

2371
01:18:32,461 --> 01:18:33,429
lack of cheat random only

2372
01:18:33,429 --> 01:18:34,129
probably get from the thrift

2373
01:18:34,129 --> 01:18:34,763
shop shop. Don't have to take

2374
01:18:34,763 --> 01:18:37,763
the blaze up and getting

2375
01:18:38,340 --> 01:18:40,680
shopping. And they keep

2376
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:42,468
hitting that 1000 with the

2377
01:18:43,739 --> 01:18:44,439
Federal 5 in Washington, D.C.,

2378
01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:45,141
as they battle plate, you can

2379
01:18:45,141 --> 01:18:48,144
touch the but I can show you

2380
01:18:48,144 --> 01:18:50,120
the books. And even though

2381
01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:52,214
that could always on the side

2382
01:18:52,214 --> 01:18:52,915
walls, people get trip and

2383
01:18:52,915 --> 01:18:54,216
fall of the unified on this.

2384
01:18:54,216 --> 01:18:56,552
That what with the blow then

2385
01:18:56,552 --> 01:18:58,154
come out there with the blow

2386
01:18:58,154 --> 01:18:58,854
percent needed. It was month

2387
01:18:58,854 --> 01:19:02,454
in MARCH. They never go there

2388
01:19:03,759 --> 01:19:05,160
at all. You humid last month

2389
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:08,760
in MAY. And then they came

2390
01:19:09,298 --> 01:19:12,898
this month, JUNE in doing it.

2391
01:19:13,102 --> 01:19:13,735
So I don't know what to get

2392
01:19:13,735 --> 01:19:14,436
needs. Been this from the

2393
01:19:14,436 --> 01:19:15,137
moment it could end up on the

2394
01:19:15,137 --> 01:19:18,400
8 the city doing is who they

2395
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:18,774
have Where the show this

2396
01:19:18,774 --> 01:19:19,475
federal government-funded tune

2397
01:19:19,475 --> 01:19:22,440
a bit. You don't could relate

2398
01:19:22,440 --> 01:19:22,644
to demand or But when issued a

2399
01:19:22,644 --> 01:19:23,378
wheeze and even on the

2400
01:19:23,378 --> 01:19:25,247
driveway, that's a good way to

2401
01:19:25,247 --> 01:19:28,847
get some. Some big debate to

2402
01:19:30,886 --> 01:19:31,921
stop it. As we fund the soq it

2403
01:19:31,921 --> 01:19:32,855
because enough is enough but

2404
01:19:32,855 --> 01:19:33,522
that Putin and we do not

2405
01:19:33,522 --> 01:19:35,124

2406
01:19:35,124 --> 01:19:37,326
ways. You a cut now property.

01:19:37,326 --> 01:19:39,328
You couldn't to see this

2408
01:19:39,328 --> 01:19:40,295
government and they have.

2409
01:19:40,295 --> 01:19:42,464
Could that mean that like to

2410
01:19:42,464 --> 01:19:43,132
see the I never seen this ad.

2411
01:19:43,132 --> 01:19:46,132
Got me right away. Looking

2412
01:19:46,402 --> 01:19:48,738

01:20:01,883 --> 01:20:04,883
garden at my address is 9, 3,

2422
01:20:08,230 --> 01:20:09,910
6, 3 old Plank Road 3, 2, 2,

2423
01:20:09,910 --> 01:20:10,292
2, 0, I'm the owner operator

2424
01:20:10,292 --> 01:20:12,194
down to Earth organic farm on

2425
01:20:12,194 --> 01:20:14,229
Old Plank Road on the West

2426
01:20:14,229 --> 01:20:15,130
Side. And I have my life and I

2427
01:20:15,130 --> 01:20:16,532
started our farm nearly 20

2428
01:20:16,532 --> 01:20:20,132
years ago and were amazed at

2429
01:20:21,336 --> 01:20:22,137
the demand that people had for

2430
01:20:22,137 --> 01:20:25,137
a source of local clean

2431
01:20:26,142 --> 01:20:27,275
organic Lee grown food. There

2432
01:20:27,275 --> 01:20:29,450
are not many local growers 20

2433
01:20:29,450 --> 01:20:30,813
years ago in fast forward to

2434
01:20:30,813 --> 01:20:31,614
today. And they're still are

2435
01:20:31,614 --> 01:20:32,281
not very many growers for city

2436
01:20:32,281 --> 01:20:35,281
of Marion. Nearly a million

2437
01:20:35,551 --> 01:20:36,251
people. They're like likely

2438
01:20:36,251 --> 01:20:39,455
lots of reasons for this. But

2439
01:20:39,455 --> 01:20:40,155
there are examples of

2440
01:20:40,155 --> 01:20:41,791
small-scale growers having to

2441
01:20:41,791 --> 01:20:42,624
deal with various bureaucratic

2442
01:20:42,624 --> 01:20:44,126
and code problems that are too

2443
01:20:44,126 --> 01:20:46,526
arduous are complex to

2444
01:20:47,496 --> 01:20:49,665
navigate or an evenly applied.

2445
01:20:49,665 --> 01:20:51,633
My farm is blessed to be zoned

2446
01:20:51,633 --> 01:20:52,367
ag, but we need to create a

2447
01:20:52,367 --> 01:20:54,437
better environment for micro

2448
01:20:54,437 --> 01:20:55,972
farms and community gardens to

2449
01:20:55,972 --> 01:20:58,807
thrive. A group of us are here

2450
01:20:58,807 --> 01:21:00,877
to ask meaningful reform.

2451
01:21:00,877 --> 01:21:01,611
They'll help small growers and

2452
01:21:01,611 --> 01:21:02,511
community gardeners alike have

2453
01:21:02,511 --> 01:21:04,813
a clear path to helping us

2454
01:21:04,813 --> 01:21:05,715
feed ourselves as a city.

2455
01:21:05,715 --> 01:21:06,415
Please push forward and

2456
01:21:06,415 --> 01:21:09,415
support the Freedom to Garden

2457
01:21:09,685 --> 01:21:10,620
Act.

2458
01:21:10,620 --> 01:21:11,453
>> Thank u next step. Theresa

2459
01:21:11,453 --> 01:21:14,890
Myers in the 5 after that will

2460
01:21:14,890 --> 01:21:17,890
be Susan Grandin Barry Cotter,

2461
01:21:17,826 --> 01:21:19,695
Monique Sampson. Tammy Brock

2462
01:21:19,695 --> 01:21:20,429
Sevens and on the Western

2463
01:21:20,429 --> 01:21:23,429
church. Theresa Myers, are you

2464
01:21:23,532 --> 01:21:26,532
here? Save her cards season

2465
01:21:27,636 --> 01:21:30,636
granted. Susan Grant and here.

2466
01:21:32,308 --> 01:21:35,308
There. And then after season

2467
01:21:41,717 --> 01:21:42,685
will be Barry Cotter.

2468
01:21:42,685 --> 01:21:43,353
>> Good evening

2469
01:21:43,353 --> 01:21:45,353
Councilmembers. Susan Grand

2470
01:21:45,921 --> 01:21:46,522
and my addresses on file. I'm

2471
01:21:46,522 --> 01:21:48,522
representing on scenic

2472
01:21:50,226 --> 01:21:52,626
Jacksonville this evening and

2473
01:21:52,795 --> 01:21:54,795
opposition to ordinance 2026,

2474
01:21:54,897 --> 01:21:56,432
3.63 as it's currently

2475
01:21:56,432 --> 01:21:57,132
drafted. We think that there's

2476
01:21:57,132 --> 01:22:00,132
some room for improvement on

2477
01:22:00,402 --> 01:22:01,570
this one. We really hope that

2478
01:22:01,570 --> 01:22:02,171
you guys will different

2479
01:22:02,171 --> 01:22:04,571
tonight or postpone it.

2480
01:22:05,741 --> 01:22:06,408
Whatever nomenclature might be

2481
01:22:06,408 --> 01:22:08,444
because we see Jacksonville

2482
01:22:08,444 --> 01:22:10,145
really does want to fish

2483
01:22:10,145 --> 01:22:12,145
accountable development plans,

2484
01:22:12,481 --> 01:22:14,881
review and inspections. And

2485
01:22:16,419 --> 01:22:17,860
the 3.63 what it does if you

2486
01:22:17,860 --> 01:22:19,555
don't know what that number

2487
01:22:19,555 --> 01:22:20,589
means, it's it allows private

2488
01:22:20,589 --> 01:22:23,225
providers to review plans that

2489
01:22:23,225 --> 01:22:25,625
are submitted to development

2490
01:22:25,728 --> 01:22:26,662
services and to do building

2491
01:22:26,662 --> 01:22:27,897
inspections. Well, that's good

2492
01:22:27,897 --> 01:22:30,499
in some disciplines. I believe

2493
01:22:30,499 --> 01:22:32,301
that the bill goes too far.

2494
01:22:32,301 --> 01:22:32,968
The state statute that its

2495
01:22:32,968 --> 01:22:35,368
pattern after limits, the

2496
01:22:36,539 --> 01:22:37,173
private providers to

2497
01:22:37,173 --> 01:22:38,941
architects, engineers and

2498
01:22:38,941 --> 01:22:40,910
building codes,

2499
01:22:40,910 --> 01:22:41,677
administrators. It doesn't go

2500
01:22:41,677 --> 01:22:42,378
as far as landscape,

2501
01:22:42,378 --> 01:22:44,778
architects or arborists that

2502
01:22:47,916 --> 01:22:49,719
type of thing. It does go too

2503
01:22:49,719 --> 01:22:51,687
far. And I really think it

2504
01:22:51,687 --> 01:22:52,922
needs more clarification more

2505
01:22:52,922 --> 01:22:55,491
work, which I think the public

2506
01:22:55,491 --> 01:22:56,158
works. Department working with

2507
01:22:56,158 --> 01:22:57,259
the Councilmember Diamond.

2508
01:22:57,259 --> 01:23:00,859
He's not here tonight to work

2509
01:23:01,130 --> 01:23:01,864
on that. So we really hope

2510
01:23:01,864 --> 01:23:04,967
that it could be postponed and

2511
01:23:04,967 --> 01:23:05,935
even go back to committee and

2512
01:23:05,935 --> 01:23:07,736
in looking at the substitutes

2513
01:23:07,736 --> 01:23:09,705
from Eli's Ian rules, which

2514
01:23:09,705 --> 01:23:11,607
were the bill is hard to get a

2515
01:23:11,607 --> 01:23:15,780
hold of to begin with because

2516
01:23:15,780 --> 01:23:18,470
things weren't going thank u.

2517
01:23:18,470 --> 01:23:18,681
Next up their economy.

2518
01:23:18,681 --> 01:23:21,810
>> And that'll be Monique

2519
01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:23,484
Simpson after MR. Carter.

2520
01:23:24,530 --> 01:23:26,188
>> Ok, my name Harry Potter

2521
01:23:26,188 --> 01:23:28,290
addresses on file? Well, I was

2522
01:23:28,290 --> 01:23:31,494
going to talk about asking you

2523
01:23:31,494 --> 01:23:32,161
to take steps to a teacher But

2524
01:23:32,161 --> 01:23:35,761
I guess now just say thank

2525
01:23:36,498 --> 01:23:39,302
you. I know one thing to say.

2526
01:23:39,302 --> 01:23:41,137
Now to say thank you I want to

2527
01:23:41,137 --> 01:23:44,737
make a comment about the other

2528
01:23:47,543 --> 01:23:48,477
big tax cut l Tallahassee hate

2529
01:23:48,477 --> 01:23:52,770
to be any people working on

2530
01:23:52,882 --> 01:23:53,549
that

2531
01:23:53,549 --> 01:23:56,549
>> thank u next step Money.

2532
01:23:57,353 --> 01:23:57,953
Sampson. And after missing. So

2533
01:23:57,953 --> 01:24:00,353
be Tammy Wynette. Brock

2534
01:24:10,599 --> 01:24:11,501
Sevens.

2535
01:24:11,501 --> 01:24:12,235
>> Okay. That was little

2536
01:24:12,235 --> 01:24:15,338
strange but had to start about

2537
01:24:15,338 --> 01:24:15,972
the place. My back there.

2538
01:24:15,972 --> 01:24:16,706
>> Hi, my name is Monique

2539
01:24:16,706 --> 01:24:18,308
Sasson. I am a civics teacher.

2540
01:24:18,308 --> 01:24:19,308
Mom, home owner, community

2541
01:24:19,308 --> 01:24:20,443
member and a proud member of

2542
01:24:20,443 --> 01:24:22,345
Duval Teachers United as well

2543
01:24:22,345 --> 01:24:23,712
as a union steward. And I came

2544
01:24:23,712 --> 01:24:24,647
prepared to to put the ballot

2545
01:24:24,647 --> 01:24:25,348
and thankfully all did so. I

2546
01:24:25,348 --> 01:24:28,718
wanted to kind of talk about

2547
01:24:28,718 --> 01:24:29,351
how it has impacted by family.

2548
01:24:29,351 --> 01:24:30,753
>> So my daughter, Atala

2549
01:24:30,753 --> 01:24:32,210
Sampson, she has autism and

2550
01:24:32,210 --> 01:24:32,688
she goes to Garden City

2551
01:24:32,688 --> 01:24:34,924
Elementary in the preschool

2552
01:24:34,924 --> 01:24:36,959
disabilities program has one

2553
01:24:36,959 --> 01:24:37,660
of the school psychologist

2554
01:24:37,660 --> 01:24:40,596
talking about earlier and she

2555
01:24:40,596 --> 01:24:41,263
had a teacher and a speech

2556
01:24:41,263 --> 01:24:41,964
Colleges and a pair of the

2557
01:24:41,964 --> 01:24:42,665
entire year for some people.

2558
01:24:42,665 --> 01:24:44,233
That's not a big deal. But it

2559
01:24:44,233 --> 01:24:46,235
was a super duper, big deal

2560
01:24:46,235 --> 01:24:47,269
because and dcps before the

2561
01:24:47,269 --> 01:24:47,904
mail by DECEMBER 5 to 6

2562
01:24:47,904 --> 01:24:48,804
teachers will be gone by

2563
01:24:48,804 --> 01:24:49,505
MARCH. Another 2 to 3 in the

2564
01:24:49,505 --> 01:24:51,905
reason because they couldn't

2565
01:24:52,740 --> 01:24:52,775
take the low pay the long

2566
01:24:52,775 --> 01:24:54,110
hours and the lack of respect

2567
01:24:54,110 --> 01:24:56,379
that after the mill, our

2568
01:24:56,379 --> 01:24:57,790
schools are really well

2569
01:24:57,790 --> 01:24:57,780
staffed. Okay. I can go on

2570
01:24:57,780 --> 01:24:59,148
vacation. I could do all the

2571
01:24:59,148 --> 01:25:01,317
stuff and not have to worry

2572
01:25:01,317 --> 01:25:03,520
about staffing and for

2573
01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:04,860
household because a lot of

2574
01:25:04,860 --> 01:25:05,187
people think it means getting

2575
01:25:05,187 --> 01:25:06,322
rich. I mean, I'm expanding

2576
01:25:06,322 --> 01:25:07,957
our family, welcoming our son

2577
01:25:07,957 --> 01:25:08,624
a few months ago been

2578
01:25:08,624 --> 01:25:09,459
establishing a college fund

2579
01:25:09,459 --> 01:25:10,392
for our daughter through

2580
01:25:10,392 --> 01:25:12,950
Florida, prepaid and catching

2581
01:25:12,950 --> 01:25:13,129
up on bills being able to buy

2582
01:25:13,129 --> 01:25:13,829
pencils can be a most

2583
01:25:13,829 --> 01:25:15,980
importantly, be over and for

2584
01:25:15,980 --> 01:25:16,132
my students without worrying

2585
01:25:16,132 --> 01:25:17,434
about breaking the bank, that

2586
01:25:17,434 --> 01:25:18,267
bill has changed so much for

2587
01:25:18,267 --> 01:25:19,335
our family. And it's we're

2588
01:25:19,335 --> 01:25:20,403
keeping it as a homeowner. I

2589
01:25:20,403 --> 01:25:21,171
can confidently say that. I

2590
01:25:21,171 --> 01:25:22,404
don't mind paying a little bit

2591
01:25:22,404 --> 01:25:23,406
more on the front in to save

2592
01:25:23,406 --> 01:25:24,373
money on the back in and we

2593
01:25:24,373 --> 01:25:25,740
will save money by having

2594
01:25:25,740 --> 01:25:25,775
fully staffed schools. And we

2595
01:25:25,775 --> 01:25:28,211
do that by making sure school

2596
01:25:28,211 --> 01:25:29,445
staff is appreciated.

2597
01:25:29,445 --> 01:25:30,179
>> Also on another note, as a

2598
01:25:30,179 --> 01:25:31,247
community member, I say like

2599
01:25:31,247 --> 01:25:32,348
Connor, speak in support of

2600
01:25:32,348 --> 01:25:33,316
mental health emergency

2601
01:25:33,316 --> 01:25:34,617
response team being fought for

2602
01:25:34,617 --> 01:25:35,351
by the Jacks will community

2603
01:25:35,351 --> 01:25:37,153
Action Committee. Thank you so

2604
01:25:37,153 --> 01:25:38,354
much of an agreement or so.

2605
01:25:38,354 --> 01:25:39,220
>> Thank you, Tammy Wynette,

2606
01:25:39,220 --> 01:25:41,991
Brock Sevens and then don't

2607
01:25:41,991 --> 01:25:44,991
Stretch is Tammy here. Okay.

2608
01:25:49,632 --> 01:25:51,632
Donna. West Church.

2609
01:25:53,670 --> 01:25:54,404
>> My name is Donna. Less

2610
01:25:54,404 --> 01:25:55,972
strict. My address is on file.

2611
01:25:55,972 --> 01:25:56,706
I am Marine science teacher at

2612
01:25:56,706 --> 01:25:57,340
Fletcher High School. I'm just

2613
01:25:57,340 --> 01:25:59,740
like everybody else here

2614
01:26:00,900 --> 01:26:01,310
wearing red. I came here. Ask

2615
01:26:01,310 --> 01:26:01,977
you to put the one no

2616
01:26:01,977 --> 01:26:03,713
referendum ballot. You did

2617
01:26:03,713 --> 01:26:06,490
that. Thank you so much. So I

2618
01:26:06,490 --> 01:26:09,490
just want to remind everybody

2619
01:26:09,952 --> 01:26:10,619
what the one no means. It's

2620
01:26:10,619 --> 01:26:13,619
not only a teacher's salary

2621
01:26:15,759 --> 01:26:16,359
supplement. It also provides a

2622
01:26:16,359 --> 01:26:16,959
supplement for our jso

2623
01:26:16,959 --> 01:26:19,359
officers and our school

2624
01:26:19,796 --> 01:26:21,631
guardians. It also pays for

2625
01:26:21,631 --> 01:26:24,310
band uniforms. Track updates,

2626
01:26:28,237 --> 01:26:30,720
football fields. So thank you.

2627
01:26:30,720 --> 01:26:31,474
Thank you. From all the

2628
01:26:31,474 --> 01:26:34,310

Clark. Murray for the meetings

2654
01:27:24,594 --> 01:27:27,397
on Friday. I think that was an

2655
01:27:27,397 --> 01:27:29,365
example of good governance and

2656
01:27:29,365 --> 01:27:30,266
of us being able to work

2657
01:27:30,266 --> 01:27:30,966

2658

2659
01:27:33,503 --> 01:27:35,471

2661
01:27:37,406 --> 01:27:40,243

2662
01:27:40,243 --> 01:27:41,745
appreciate voicing your

2663
01:27:41,745 --> 01:27:42,611

your heart and your minds on

2666

and it comes on the ballot.

2677
01:28:06,336 --> 01:28:08,437
I'll give you a few fast facts

2678
01:28:08,437 --> 01:28:11,140

2722
01:29:41,531 --> 01:29:43,931
good. Fresh fruits and

2723
01:29:44,100 --> 01:29:46,402
vegetables are good. Growing

2724
01:29:46,402 --> 01:29:49,906

outstanding agriculture listed

Farm City luncheon. And

2811
01:32:52,188 --> 01:32:55,188
ultimately a legal request for

2812
01:32:55,725 --> 01:32:56,359
dismissal of the citation. We

2813
01:32:56,359 --> 01:32:57,627
want our say Clu, but the

2814
01:32:57,627 --> 01:32:58,328
fight for permission to grow

2815
01:32:58,328 --> 01:33:01,328
food within for our neighbors

2816
01:33:01,631 --> 01:33:02,365
goes way beyond farm 3. For

2817
01:33:02,365 --> 01:33:03,566
example, our journey took half

2818
01:33:03,566 --> 01:33:04,234
as long as that of Clara White

2819
01:33:04,234 --> 01:33:06,569

2820
01:33:06,569 --> 01:33:07,937
his farm and market back in

2821
01:33:07,937 --> 01:33:10,337
2014, they began throwing food

2822
01:33:10,607 --> 01:33:11,775
for the community in 2010,

2823
01:33:11,775 --> 01:33:12,775
stepping back even further.

2824
01:33:12,775 --> 01:33:14,344
The Ifas ag Extension

2825
01:33:14,344 --> 01:33:15,110
Community Garden has been

2826
01:33:15,110 --> 01:33:16,879
providing garden plots for

01:33:16,879 --> 01:33:19,148
members of the community since

2828
01:33:19,148 --> 01:33:19,817
1977, it does not and never

2829
01:33:19,817 --> 01:33:22,817
has had legal permission to

2830
01:33:22,852 --> 01:33:23,954
operate under zoning code. It

2831
01:33:23,954 --> 01:33:24,754
should not be this hard to

2832
01:33:24,754 --> 01:33:27,658
grow food with and for our

2833
01:33:27,658 --> 01:33:29,927
neighbors. That's why thank

2834
01:33:29,927 --> 01:33:32,930
you, sir. Thank you. Our next

Weist. He MAY go when you get

2840
01:33:43,473 --> 01:33:46,777
to the podium. It's a let

2841
01:33:46,777 --> 01:33:48,110
weeds but that's okay.

2842
01:33:48,110 --> 01:33:49,846
>> Good evening. My name is

Garden Act, which will make

2848
01:33:58,888 --> 01:34:00,323
community market gardens

2849
01:34:00,323 --> 01:34:02,192
permissible by Wright in

2850
01:34:02,192 --> 01:34:02,926
Jacksonville. Community

2851
01:34:02,926 --> 01:34:05,326
Gardens provide fresh, healthy

2852
01:34:05,562 --> 01:34:06,229
food to neighbors who need it.

2853
01:34:06,229 --> 01:34:08,629
Right now. Nathan Valentine

2854
01:34:08,765 --> 01:34:09,733
has hundreds of families. He's

2855
01:34:09,733 --> 01:34:10,366
waiting list who want to

2856
01:34:10,366 --> 01:34:12,366
patronize this community

2857
01:34:12,669 --> 01:34:13,369
gardens, including myself.

2858
01:34:13,369 --> 01:34:16,273
Even though I'm not currently

2859
01:34:16,273 --> 01:34:17,408
patronizing community garden.

2860
01:34:17,408 --> 01:34:18,750
I do a landmark of gardens and

2861
01:34:18,750 --> 01:34:20,475
our farmers Markets, Timor,

2862
01:34:21,478 --> 01:34:22,179
market garden vendors. Arline

2863
01:34:22,179 --> 01:34:25,150
market garden vendors from my

2864
01:34:25,150 --> 01:34:27,415
organic produce because usda

2865
01:34:27,751 --> 01:34:30,751
organic is no longer reliable.

2866
01:34:31,188 --> 01:34:32,220
>> As organic food becomes

2867
01:34:32,220 --> 01:34:32,723
unreliable, grocery store

2868
01:34:32,723 --> 01:34:33,623
prices go up. We need to let

2869
01:34:33,623 --> 01:34:35,859
market gardens and community

2870
01:34:35,859 --> 01:34:36,559

have healthy and sustainable

2872
01:34:40,197 --> 01:34:42,366
practices. We have global

2873
01:34:42,366 --> 01:34:44,234
supply lines disrupted food

2874
01:34:44,234 --> 01:34:45,235
prices on the rise, organic

2875
01:34:45,235 --> 01:34:45,803
produce. The grocery store is

2876
01:34:45,803 --> 01:34:47,271
becoming increasingly

2877
01:34:47,271 --> 01:34:49,500
unreliable. Local community

2878
01:34:49,500 --> 01:34:49,739
market gardeners would be well

2879
01:34:49,739 --> 01:34:51,241
positioned to help insulate us

2880
01:34:51,241 --> 01:34:52,976
from these problems when they

2881
01:34:52,976 --> 01:34:54,311
arise. Please help us pass the

2882
01:34:54,311 --> 01:34:57,311

he was going to bring to be

2890
01:35:18,101 --> 01:35:18,835
for the PRESIDENT. So I

01:35:18,835 --> 01:35:20,370
appreciate and I thank you all

2892
01:35:20,370 --> 01:35:23,970
for moving forward. But to be

2893
01:35:24,207 --> 01:35:26,777
honest with you. Us with a lot

2894
01:35:26,777 --> 01:35:27,477
of time because you only job

2895
01:35:27,477 --> 01:35:30,130
was to put the referendum on

2896
01:35:30,130 --> 01:35:32,382
the ballot. That's it. And let

2897
01:35:32,382 --> 01:35:35,982
the people decide to hand I

2898
01:35:36,220 --> 01:35:37,520
You just get too much the end.

2899
01:35:37,520 --> 01:35:40,657
The people see why you all

2900
01:35:40,657 --> 01:35:42,626
won't support that 4 men that

2901
01:35:42,626 --> 01:35:44,728
by from Com hit dog surely

2902
01:35:44,728 --> 01:35:45,663
will holler. You don't want

2903
01:35:45,663 --> 01:35:46,363
checks and balances. Integrity

2904
01:35:46,363 --> 01:35:49,666
is doing the right thing when

2905
01:35:49,666 --> 01:35:50,600
no one is watching to say no

2906
01:35:50,600 --> 01:35:53,300
different than on Carrico said

2907
01:35:53,300 --> 01:35:53,336
that Missus to j a board

2908
01:35:53,336 --> 01:35:54,370
member.

2909
01:35:54,370 --> 01:35:57,370
>> You all love drama. You're

2910
01:36:00,911 --> 01:36:02,450
corrupt. Let's see what else I

2911
01:36:02,450 --> 01:36:05,450
realize that this council and

2912
01:36:05,115 --> 01:36:05,949
j it seems like it. So

2913
01:36:05,949 --> 01:36:08,949
COUNCILMAN On Salem, since you

2914
01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:10,753
are the liaison, you need to

2915
01:36:10,753 --> 01:36:12,856
remind it that board that this

2916
01:36:12,856 --> 01:36:13,523
is the public on facility. The

2917
01:36:13,523 --> 01:36:16,523
people want them to collect

2918
01:36:16,593 --> 01:36:17,327
those overdue fees. Now, when

2919
01:36:17,327 --> 01:36:20,197
the working class people can't

2920
01:36:20,197 --> 01:36:22,650
pay their bills, we have 2

2921
01:36:22,650 --> 01:36:22,766
options. We even make a

2922
01:36:22,766 --> 01:36:23,467
payment arrangement. And when

2923
01:36:23,467 --> 01:36:25,867
that payment arrangement than

2924
01:36:28,405 --> 01:36:30,374
than that. Disconnect

2925
01:36:30,374 --> 01:36:31,775
services, so get to make a

2926
01:36:31,775 --> 01:36:32,643
payment arrangement with the

2927
01:36:32,643 --> 01:36:34,144
for those millions of dollars

2928
01:36:34,144 --> 01:36:35,579
so we don't have to be have a

2929
01:36:35,579 --> 01:36:37,579
rate increase OCTOBER.

2930
01:36:47,900 --> 01:36:49,490
>> Joe, Saint George? Good

2931
01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:50,627

Council. My address fau. And

2935
01:36:57,601 --> 01:36:59,601
Jacksonville voicing concern

2936
01:37:00,671 --> 01:37:03,374
that City Council meeting MAY

2937
01:37:03,374 --> 01:37:04,410
calls consequences. Individual

2938
01:37:04,410 --> 01:37:06,410
exercising First Amendment

2939
01:37:07,711 --> 01:37:08,411
rights held on occasion face

2940
01:37:08,411 --> 01:37:09,112
also responses and a risk by

2941
01:37:09,112 --> 01:37:12,112
jso for merely expressing the

2942
01:37:13,683 --> 01:37:14,318
true. In recent years. Jso has

2943
01:37:14,318 --> 01:37:17,318
the rest it for community

2944
01:37:17,821 --> 01:37:21,250
advocates. Then for a call, a

2945
01:37:21,250 --> 01:37:24,250
calling Leo greeting and Tegan

2946
01:37:25,228 --> 01:37:27,331
below at council meetings.

2947
01:37:27,331 --> 01:37:28,332
Such incidents have reinforced

2948
01:37:28,332 --> 01:37:29,366
concerns regarding the

2949
01:37:29,366 --> 01:37:30,330
treatment of individual

2950
01:37:30,330 --> 01:37:32,330
exercising First Amendment

2951
01:37:33,604 --> 01:37:35,906
rights. City Council. You'll

2952
01:37:35,906 --> 01:37:36,640

2953
01:37:36,640 --> 01:37:37,908
Amendment right to have caused

2954
01:37:37,908 --> 01:37:40,308
concern among the community.

2955
01:37:41,278 --> 01:37:43,880
The public feels about council

2956
01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:44,615
decision and will participate

2957
01:37:44,615 --> 01:37:47,317
actively at the ballot box and

2958
01:37:47,317 --> 01:37:50,200
to win it. 27. Turning to

2959
01:37:50,200 --> 01:37:51,755
another important matter. I

2960
01:37:51,755 --> 01:37:52,956
wish to address the ongoing

2961
01:37:52,956 --> 01:37:55,892

current economic conditions.

2969

01:39:01,725 --> 01:39:03,560
minute, I'm going can make a

2993
01:39:03,560 --> 01:39:05,429
concise. This is a win-win

2994
01:39:05,429 --> 01:39:07,829
situation for Jacksonville and

2995
01:39:09,467 --> 01:39:11,867
for urban farmers. Farms,

2996
01:39:11,969 --> 01:39:14,369
Urban Farms provide community

2997
01:39:16,140 --> 01:39:17,875

on pollinators teams. The

3013
01:39:57,715 --> 01:39:58,349
greatest thing for pollinators

3014
01:39:58,349 --> 01:39:59,683
are gardens to Mote. Eco

01:40:28,178 --> 01:40:28,845
Lake Forest. I'm here tonight

3036
01:40:28,845 --> 01:40:32,445
to ask for your support for

3037
01:40:32,517 --> 01:40:34,451
the Free Garden Act. I am the

3038
01:40:34,451 --> 01:40:35,386
chair of the Duval County

3039
01:40:35,386 --> 01:40:36,860
Agricultural Council and I am

3040
01:40:36,860 --> 01:40:39,686
a member of the Duval County

3041
01:40:40,900 --> 01:40:40,791
Farm Bureau board as someone

3042
01:40:40,791 --> 01:40:42,526
who has spent decades running

3043
01:40:42,526 --> 01:40:44,628
a small business in

3044
01:40:44,628 --> 01:40:46,163
Jacksonville. I understand the

3045
01:40:46,163 --> 01:40:46,864
importance of having clear

3046
01:40:46,864 --> 01:40:47,497
rules that protect

3047
01:40:47,497 --> 01:40:49,497
neighborhoods while still

3048
01:40:50,340 --> 01:40:50,768
allowing people to freedom to

3049
01:40:50,768 --> 01:40:53,168
create building, contribute to

3050
01:40:54,400 --> 01:40:56,404
their community. They're free

3051
01:40:56,674 --> 01:40:58,309
to creates clear standards and

3052
01:40:58,309 --> 01:40:59,430
clear expectations. It

3053
01:40:59,430 --> 01:41:00,912
addresses concerns about noise

3054
01:41:00,912 --> 01:41:02,912
parking lighting composting

3055
01:41:04,481 --> 01:41:05,883
hours of operation. It

3056
01:41:05,883 --> 01:41:06,583
supports small-scale locally

3057
01:41:06,583 --> 01:41:08,953
owned efforts while ensuring

3058
01:41:08,953 --> 01:41:09,854
they remain compatible with

3059
01:41:09,854 --> 01:41:11,655
surrounding neighborhoods.

3060
01:41:11,655 --> 01:41:12,289
What I appreciate most about

3061
01:41:12,289 --> 01:41:15,289
this proposal is that it

3062
01:41:15,626 --> 01:41:17,461
strikes a balance. It respects

3063
01:41:17,461 --> 01:41:19,461
private property rights

3064
01:41:19,463 --> 01:41:20,497
respecting neighbors. It

3065
01:41:20,497 --> 01:41:21,399
encourages local

3066
01:41:21,399 --> 01:41:22,433
entrepreneurship while

3067
01:41:22,433 --> 01:41:23,100
preventing large scale

3068
01:41:23,100 --> 01:41:24,769
commercial operations from

3069
01:41:24,769 --> 01:41:26,304
moving into residential areas.

3070
01:41:26,304 --> 01:41:28,772
They're free to garden act as

3071
01:41:28,772 --> 01:41:31,800
practical balance and good for

3072
01:41:31,800 --> 01:41:31,742
our community. I respectfully

3073
01:41:31,742 --> 01:41:32,409
ask for your support and thank

3074
01:41:32,409 --> 01:41:36,900

>> Lisa Dawkins, Samantha

3079
01:41:44,922 --> 01:41:47,322
Series and Addison Patrick,

3080
01:41:51,940 --> 01:41:52,396
MR. Scott, the floor is yours.

3081
01:41:52,396 --> 01:41:54,732
>> Thank you, MR. Floor leader

3082
01:41:54,732 --> 01:41:55,433
MISTER PRESIDENT members of

3083
01:41:55,433 --> 01:41:58,433
Council. Name is John Scott

3084
01:41:58,436 --> 01:41:59,403
Matters on fall. Jacksonville

3085
01:41:59,403 --> 01:42:01,403
making incredibly difficult

3086
01:42:01,506 --> 01:42:02,673
financial decisions. Every

3087
01:42:02,673 --> 01:42:04,341
single day families are

3088
01:42:04,341 --> 01:42:06,544
dealing with rising property

3089
01:42:06,544 --> 01:42:07,244
insurance costs, housing

3090
01:42:07,244 --> 01:42:07,845
expenses, utility bills, and

3091
01:42:07,845 --> 01:42:10,245
the increasing cost of

3092
01:42:10,781 --> 01:42:11,482
everyday necessities. They

3093
01:42:11,482 --> 01:42:13,882
expect their local government

3094
01:42:14,185 --> 01:42:14,885
to exercise the same level

3095
01:42:14,885 --> 01:42:16,885
discipline and accountability

3096
01:42:17,388 --> 01:42:18,355
and the property tax amendment

3097
01:42:18,355 --> 01:42:18,956
that will be on NOVEMBER's

3098
01:42:18,956 --> 01:42:21,240
ballot is a catalyst to

3099
01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:24,240
ensuring this body has the

3100
01:42:24,762 --> 01:42:25,296
very tough conversations and

3101
01:42:25,296 --> 01:42:27,696
be ready to reduce

3102
01:42:28,599 --> 01:42:30,501
significantly reduce funding.

3103
01:42:30,501 --> 01:42:32,901
And practice and prioritize

3104
01:42:33,638 --> 01:42:34,939
court services. Public safety

3105
01:42:34,939 --> 01:42:35,740
Roads, Infrastructure Park's

3106
01:42:35,740 --> 01:42:36,407
library. Strange, another core

3107
01:42:36,407 --> 01:42:38,807
services should remain the

3108
01:42:39,243 --> 01:42:41,643
primary City government. This

3109
01:42:42,146 --> 01:42:43,113
body has taken steps forward

3110
01:42:43,113 --> 01:42:43,814
to make sure under your

3111
01:42:43,814 --> 01:42:45,814
leadership, MISTER PRESIDENT,

3112
01:42:45,917 --> 01:42:46,951
that we had in that direction.

3113
01:42:46,951 --> 01:42:47,651
I'm confident that under MR.

3114
01:42:47,651 --> 01:42:48,285
Vice PRESIDENT's leadership,

3115
01:42:48,285 --> 01:42:51,885
we will do the exact same

3116
01:42:52,724 --> 01:42:53,458
thing. Taxpayer deserve

3117
01:42:53,458 --> 01:42:54,125
confidence that their money is

3118
01:42:54,125 --> 01:42:54,859
being invested in the basic

3119
01:42:54,859 --> 01:42:56,859
responsibilities of government

3120
01:42:59,730 --> 01:43:01,232
beef. 4. It's been elsewhere.

3121
01:43:01,232 --> 01:43:01,899
We repeat that for mayor

3122
01:43:01,899 --> 01:43:04,899
digging before it has spent

3123
01:43:07,104 --> 01:43:07,805
elsewhere. Mark, my words,

3124
01:43:07,805 --> 01:43:09,440
Florida will pass relieve as

3125
01:43:09,440 --> 01:43:11,840
they historically have. Well,

3126
01:43:12,976 --> 01:43:16,576

3164
01:44:23,280 --> 01:44:24,615
the council members who voted

3165
01:44:24,615 --> 01:44:26,184
yes for resolution.

3166
01:44:26,184 --> 01:44:28,552
Twenty-twenty think there are

3167
01:44:28,552 --> 01:44:30,922
3, 5, 6, a bill introduced by

3168
01:44:30,922 --> 01:44:31,456
COUNCILMAN Jimmy a district

3169
01:44:31,456 --> 01:44:32,230
said in protecting

3170
01:44:32,230 --> 01:44:32,757
historically redlined

3171
01:44:32,757 --> 01:44:33,491
neighborhoods from the jail of

3172
01:44:33,491 --> 01:44:36,760
the future. Thank you again in

01:44:36,760 --> 01:44:37,428

Jonathan and Kathy Najimy.

3178
01:44:43,901 --> 01:44:44,601
Introduced a bill. I think

3179
01:44:44,601 --> 01:44:45,938
that's because they have all

3180
01:44:45,938 --> 01:44:47,338
my neighbors. When I say thank

3181
01:44:47,338 --> 01:44:50,938
you. You show to that. What

3182
01:44:51,509 --> 01:44:51,909
matters the matters to you.

3183
01:44:51,909 --> 01:44:53,878
Thank you.

3187
01:44:58,282 --> 01:45:00,682
>> Good evening. I'm Litsa

3188
01:45:02,219 --> 01:45:03,621
Dawkins, my addresses on file

3189
01:45:03,621 --> 01:45:04,322
scenic Jacksonville supports

3190
01:45:04,322 --> 01:45:05,556
sufficient development but we

3191
01:45:05,556 --> 01:45:07,158
don't want it to come the

3192
01:45:07,158 --> 01:45:08,359
expense of our natural

3193
01:45:08,359 --> 01:45:09,861
environment and their 4. We

3194
01:45:09,861 --> 01:45:12,261
have serious concerns with

3195
01:45:14,899 --> 01:45:15,967
ordinance 2026, 3, 63. The

3196
01:45:15,967 --> 01:45:17,201
ordinance appears to expand

3197
01:45:17,201 --> 01:45:18,335
beyond with the Florida

3198
01:45:18,335 --> 01:45:19,136
statute allows by extending

3199
01:45:19,136 --> 01:45:21,238
private review authority into

3200
01:45:21,238 --> 01:45:22,373
zoning insight review

3201
01:45:22,373 --> 01:45:25,109
functions, not just limited to

3202
01:45:25,109 --> 01:45:26,760
the building, code review.

3203
01:45:26,760 --> 01:45:28,760
We're especially concerned

3204
01:45:28,946 --> 01:45:29,914
about the Tree Mitigation

3205
01:45:29,914 --> 01:45:31,616
Review has drafted certified

3206
01:45:31,616 --> 01:45:33,217
arborist could approve

3207
01:45:33,217 --> 01:45:33,885
mitigation plans while also

3208
01:45:33,885 --> 01:45:35,885
financially benefiting from

3209
01:45:36,870 --> 01:45:37,989
tree removal work on that same

3210
01:45:37,989 --> 01:45:40,124
property, creating a clear

3211
01:45:40,124 --> 01:45:40,791
conflict of interest that

3212
01:45:40,791 --> 01:45:41,326
threatens the integrity of

3213
01:45:41,326 --> 01:45:41,993
Jacksonville Street

3214
01:45:41,993 --> 01:45:43,993
protections and mitigation

3215
01:45:45,196 --> 01:45:47,865
fund. We respectfully urge the

3216
01:45:47,865 --> 01:45:48,466
council to defer this

3217
01:45:48,466 --> 01:45:49,100
legislation to require

3218
01:45:49,100 --> 01:45:50,234
appropriately licensed

3219
01:45:50,234 --> 01:45:50,935
professionals and exempt the

3220
01:45:50,935 --> 01:45:53,335
tree mitigation and landscape

3221
01:45:54,439 --> 01:45:55,339
review from the ordinance. We

3222
01:45:55,339 --> 01:45:56,730
plan on sending more detailed

3223
01:45:56,730 --> 01:45:56,674
follow-up with the statutes to

3224
01:45:56,674 --> 01:45:59,740
your e-mail. Thank you.

3225
01:46:03,113 --> 01:46:03,748
>> Thank you. MRS.

3226
01:46:03,748 --> 01:46:04,482
>> We series addresses on

3227
01:46:04,482 --> 01:46:07,752
file. I just want to make sure

3228
01:46:07,752 --> 01:46:09,119
we have the correct facts

3229
01:46:09,119 --> 01:46:10,221
about the jail and courthouse.

3230
01:46:10,221 --> 01:46:11,923
I know the last city council

3231
01:46:11,923 --> 01:46:14,580
meeting. It was mentioned

3232
01:46:14,580 --> 01:46:15,126
that, you know, a majority of

3233
01:46:15,126 --> 01:46:17,361
court has held via zoom. That

3234
01:46:17,361 --> 01:46:18,229
is absolutely incorrect. There

3235
01:46:18,229 --> 01:46:20,629
are some opportunities that

3236
01:46:22,660 --> 01:46:23,101
are through zoom, which is

3237
01:46:23,101 --> 01:46:23,801
first appearance and then

3238
01:46:23,801 --> 01:46:26,801
mental health court. That is

3239
01:46:27,872 --> 01:46:29,107
zoom and attorneys can. Do a

3240
01:46:29,107 --> 01:46:30,541
motion to appear by zoom. But

3241
01:46:30,541 --> 01:46:33,541
usually their clients are out

3242
01:46:33,945 --> 01:46:35,460
of jail and they are private

3243
01:46:35,460 --> 01:46:38,646
attorneys. If you are a public

3244
01:46:39,183 --> 01:46:40,485
defender who works as someone

3245
01:46:40,485 --> 01:46:42,253
that goes for many of the

3246
01:46:42,253 --> 01:46:44,923
people that are inmates at our

3247
01:46:44,923 --> 01:46:46,657
jail, they do not get the

3248
01:46:46,657 --> 01:46:49,270
opportunity to do via zoom and

3249
01:46:49,270 --> 01:46:51,280
during covid their case

3250
01:46:51,280 --> 01:46:51,729
numbers skyrocketed. You might

3251
01:46:51,729 --> 01:46:52,363
wonder how I would know this.

3252
01:46:52,363 --> 01:46:53,798
I actually use or for the

3253
01:46:53,798 --> 01:46:56,798
public defender's office and I

3254
01:46:57,268 --> 01:46:58,135
still know people there, MR.

3255
01:46:58,135 --> 01:47:01,735
Coburn, I did speak about this

3256
01:47:01,806 --> 01:47:04,642
issue and he agrees that that

3257
01:47:04,642 --> 01:47:05,576
is not smart to put the jail

3258
01:47:05,576 --> 01:47:07,412
out at p farm anywhere. That

3259
01:47:07,412 --> 01:47:11,120
isn't a far distance. I am

3260
01:47:11,315 --> 01:47:12,416
glad to hear that the you

3261
01:47:12,416 --> 01:47:13,651
know, consultants did speak

3262
01:47:13,651 --> 01:47:14,552
him a few weeks ago. So at

3263
01:47:14,552 --> 01:47:15,820
least they are doing some

3264
01:47:15,820 --> 01:47:17,489
movement there. I just think

3265
01:47:17,489 --> 01:47:18,423
it's really important. You

3266
01:47:18,423 --> 01:47:19,157
guys do you know the facts

3267
01:47:19,157 --> 01:47:22,560
that the jail should not be

3268
01:47:22,560 --> 01:47:23,227
far from the courthouse. The

3269
01:47:23,227 --> 01:47:23,961
courthouse was over billion

3270
01:47:23,961 --> 01:47:25,897
dollars. Let's make sure we're

3271
01:47:25,897 --> 01:47:28,132
using it and not making our

3272
01:47:28,132 --> 01:47:28,933
inmates and citizens have a

3273
01:47:28,933 --> 01:47:29,600
more difficult time meeting

3274
01:47:29,600 --> 01:47:32,000
with their public defenders

3275
01:47:33,637 --> 01:47:34,738
and attorneys.

3276
01:47:34,738 --> 01:47:35,473
>> Thank u next up, Addison

3283
01:47:58,863 --> 01:48:00,898
>> Good evening, everyone. So

3284
01:48:00,898 --> 01:48:01,766
we were out there talking

3285
01:48:01,766 --> 01:48:02,466
about the the freedom to

01:48:02,466 --> 01:48:04,402
garden David Lazarus. Please

3287
01:48:04,402 --> 01:48:07,402
ms Pat. I'm sorry. Addison

Patrick addresses on file.

3289
01:48:10,241 --> 01:48:10,976
>> I want to mention zoning

3290
01:48:10,976 --> 01:48:12,543
laws are too complicated. Here

3291
01:48:12,543 --> 01:48:13,444
we talk about a lot of things

3292
01:48:13,444 --> 01:48:17,644
and zoning seems to get in the

3293
01:48:18,783 --> 01:48:20,985
way I am not in support of

3294
01:48:20,985 --> 01:48:22,787
2026 Dash, 0, 4, 8, 9

3295
01:48:22,787 --> 01:48:23,488
regarding the homelessness

3296
01:48:23,488 --> 01:48:25,490
committee and they're sort

3297
01:48:25,490 --> 01:48:27,890
asking for extensions, Alex,

3298
01:48:29,427 --> 01:48:32,530
Plain White a later time. I

3299
01:48:32,530 --> 01:48:33,197
want to support a voluntary

3300
01:48:33,197 --> 01:48:35,200
association here. There's a

3301
01:48:35,200 --> 01:48:38,200
good model out of Washington,

3302
01:48:38,200 --> 01:48:40,400
D.C., h I p s dot Org is an

3303
01:48:40,400 --> 01:48:41,273
organization that does a whole

3304
01:48:41,273 --> 01:48:42,406
lot with homelessness and they

3305
01:48:42,406 --> 01:48:43,207
do that voluntary with private

3306
01:48:43,207 --> 01:48:45,760
donations. And that's

3307
01:48:45,760 --> 01:48:46,311
something that I'm seriously

3308
01:48:46,311 --> 01:48:46,978
looking into. But other people

3309
01:48:46,978 --> 01:48:50,181
in the community on how to

3310
01:48:50,181 --> 01:48:52,170
make that happen. And in terms

3311
01:48:52,170 --> 01:48:53,885
of the housing shortage, which

3312
01:48:53,885 --> 01:48:55,720
and housing issues across the

3313
01:48:55,720 --> 01:48:56,555
board. Very important issue

3314
01:48:56,555 --> 01:48:59,991
right now. Just want to bring

3315
01:48:59,991 --> 01:49:03,591
attention to the the ship and

3316
01:49:03,928 --> 01:49:05,630
noticing all of the housing

3317
01:49:05,630 --> 01:49:06,798
bills and things on this

3318
01:49:06,798 --> 01:49:08,466
agenda were rushing to spend

3319
01:49:08,466 --> 01:49:09,167
all of this money before the

3320
01:49:09,167 --> 01:49:09,867
state pulls it back. We need

3321
01:49:09,867 --> 01:49:12,937
to be more effective with how

3322
01:49:12,937 --> 01:49:13,571
we spend our money so we can

3323
01:49:13,571 --> 01:49:15,773
spend was actually being

3324
01:49:15,773 --> 01:49:18,773
allocated to us. Thank you.

3325

01:50:21,773 --> 01:50:26,573
to work. I came to work as a

3348
01:50:27,111 --> 01:50:28,480
business manager. And I know

3349
01:50:28,480 --> 01:50:29,113
and I you've heard me tell you

3350
01:50:29,113 --> 01:50:31,513
that how important these

3351
01:50:32,617 --> 01:50:35,486
people are. The people that I

3352
01:50:35,486 --> 01:50:37,388
represent are to this. It. But

3353
01:50:37,388 --> 01:50:38,923
when we sit down to negotiate

3354
01:50:38,923 --> 01:50:40,759
a contract, we take you into

3355
01:50:40,759 --> 01:50:43,159
consideration as the governing

3356
01:50:44,663 --> 01:50:46,231
body. We take the public into

3357
01:50:46,231 --> 01:50:49,231
consideration and we also take

3358
01:50:50,301 --> 01:50:53,301
in the public. Because they

3359
01:50:53,505 --> 01:50:56,505
everybody pays that bill. And

3360
01:50:57,342 --> 01:50:57,976
so it's important to us.

3361
01:50:57,976 --> 01:50:58,443
Thanks. Things to burst,

3362
01:50:58,443 --> 01:51:00,278
Daniel Kerr z?

3363
01:51:00,278 --> 01:51:02,678
>> You're next. And then

3364
01:51:06,151 --> 01:51:06,784
Monica Gold.

3365
01:51:06,784 --> 01:51:08,887
>> Good evening. My name

3366
01:51:08,887 --> 01:51:09,787
Daniel Kerr is the address on

3367
01:51:09,787 --> 01:51:10,488
file. I appreciate the

3368
01:51:10,488 --> 01:51:13,488
opportunity speak with you on

3369
01:51:13,591 --> 01:51:14,559
your touching this evening. A

3370

organizing department. We

3373
01:51:18,960 --> 01:51:20,496
cover 9 states. I worked

3374
01:51:21,166 --> 01:51:22,434
closely with local 6.30, in

3375
01:51:22,434 --> 01:51:23,340
the hardworking women and men

3376
01:51:23,340 --> 01:51:23,668
that are highly skilled

3377
01:51:23,668 --> 01:51:24,335
professionals dressed in

3378
01:51:24,335 --> 01:51:27,935
orange here in the back of

3379
01:51:29,508 --> 01:51:30,508
room. As you heard and let you

3380
01:51:30,508 --> 01:51:31,242
know where at an impasse in

3381
01:51:31,242 --> 01:51:33,242
negotiations largely regarding

3382
01:51:34,613 --> 01:51:35,246
wages. I've worked with union

3383
01:51:35,246 --> 01:51:37,480
members around the region

3384
01:51:37,480 --> 01:51:40,151
around the country and I can

3385
01:51:40,151 --> 01:51:42,530
tell you the situation with

3386
01:51:42,530 --> 01:51:44,889
like, you know, is not that

3387
01:51:44,889 --> 01:51:45,591
complicated. Our members in

3388
01:51:45,591 --> 01:51:48,260
the workforce and to close an

3389
01:51:48,260 --> 01:51:50,228
ongoing pay despaired. The

3390
01:51:50,228 --> 01:51:51,729
situation is our members

3391
01:51:51,729 --> 01:51:52,364
perform nearly identical tasks

3392
01:51:52,364 --> 01:51:55,364
and duties as some other

3393
01:51:55,366 --> 01:51:57,536
employees with utility except

3394
01:51:57,536 --> 01:52:00,536
our between 5 and $19 an hour

3395
01:52:02,374 --> 01:52:03,108
less per hour. The special

3396
01:52:03,108 --> 01:52:03,708
magistrate process begins here

3397
01:52:03,708 --> 01:52:06,678
in a couple of weeks to

3398
01:52:06,678 --> 01:52:07,412
address this impasse. After

3399
01:52:07,412 --> 01:52:09,812
that, this council decides

3400
01:52:10,415 --> 01:52:11,115
what happens next. What we're

3401
01:52:11,115 --> 01:52:14,115
asking is simple. Please look

3402
01:52:14,852 --> 01:52:15,586
at the facts. Jay, a zone.

3403
01:52:15,586 --> 01:52:18,423
Vatican show you that the wage

3404
01:52:18,423 --> 01:52:20,823
disparity exists. The proposal

3405
01:52:21,493 --> 01:52:23,628
on the table is reasonable.

3406
01:52:23,628 --> 01:52:26,431
And what we're asking is that

3407
01:52:26,431 --> 01:52:27,198
you recognize that

3408
01:52:27,198 --> 01:52:27,766
Jacksonville deserves utility

3409
01:52:27,766 --> 01:52:29,766
whose workforce feels

3410
01:52:30,869 --> 01:52:31,570
respected. And before long,

3411
01:52:31,570 --> 01:52:32,304
this council is gonna be able

3412
01:52:32,304 --> 01:52:35,206
to make that happen. Thank you

3413
01:52:35,206 --> 01:52:35,840
for your time. Thank u next

3414
01:52:35,840 --> 01:52:38,840
up, Monica Gold. And then

3415
01:52:42,914 --> 01:52:43,582
Lydia. Do.

3416
01:52:43,582 --> 01:52:44,950
>> Hello. Hello. My name is

3417
01:52:44,950 --> 01:52:46,284
Monica Gold. My addresses on

3418
01:52:46,284 --> 01:52:47,185
file. I've just include

3419
01:52:47,185 --> 01:52:49,220
concluded my 7th year teaching

3420
01:52:49,220 --> 01:52:51,560
in Duval County Public

3421
01:52:51,560 --> 01:52:51,723
Schools.

3422
01:52:51,723 --> 01:52:52,357
>> I've been an esl teacher

3423
01:52:52,357 --> 01:52:54,757
and English language arts

3424
01:52:54,793 --> 01:52:55,527
teacher Esau teacher. And this

3425
01:52:55,527 --> 01:52:56,261
year I was honored to be a

3426
01:52:56,261 --> 01:52:58,661
district finalists for Teacher

3427
01:52:59,665 --> 01:53:00,298
of the year. When I began

3428
01:53:00,298 --> 01:53:01,199
working at my school, it

3429
01:53:01,199 --> 01:53:03,168
deemed a turnaround school,

3430
01:53:03,168 --> 01:53:04,636
meaning it had a failing

3431
01:53:04,636 --> 01:53:06,471
grade. My school is now just

3432
01:53:06,471 --> 01:53:08,773
points away from being a b

3433
01:53:08,773 --> 01:53:09,874
school. Tribute this growth to

3434
01:53:09,874 --> 01:53:11,275
the teacher attention at my

3435
01:53:11,275 --> 01:53:11,977
school and I would attribute

3436
01:53:11,977 --> 01:53:14,580
the teacher attention to the

3437
01:53:14,580 --> 01:53:16,281
mill rate referendum. The

3438
01:53:16,281 --> 01:53:17,480
teachers in my building or

3439
01:53:17,480 --> 01:53:17,749
some of the smartest, most

3440
01:53:17,749 --> 01:53:20,149
resource. One multi talented

3441
01:53:20,986 --> 01:53:21,920
people. I know they could

3442
01:53:21,920 --> 01:53:23,889
successfully pursue any career

3443
01:53:23,889 --> 01:53:24,990
path yet they have elected to

3444
01:53:24,990 --> 01:53:25,623
teach year after year despite

3445
01:53:25,623 --> 01:53:28,930
Florida being last in the

3446
01:53:28,930 --> 01:53:29,494
country for teacher pay. I

3447
01:53:29,494 --> 01:53:30,329
urge City Council to do more

3448
01:53:30,329 --> 01:53:32,263
than just allow this to be

3449
01:53:32,263 --> 01:53:34,433
voted Urge City Council to

3450
01:53:34,433 --> 01:53:36,334
help this referendum passed in

3451
01:53:36,334 --> 01:53:36,968
NOVEMBER. Please show up in a

3452
01:53:36,968 --> 01:53:39,368
meaningful way for public

3453
01:53:39,905 --> 01:53:41,600
school. Teachers and students.

3454
01:53:41,600 --> 01:53:42,774
Also as a proud union member

3455
01:53:42,774 --> 01:53:44,242

3456
01:53:44,242 --> 01:53:44,843

3459
01:53:46,745 --> 01:53:49,145
conditions. Thank you. Thank

3460
01:53:53,850 --> 01:53:53,718
you. MISS Levy ago.

3461
01:53:53,718 --> 01:53:56,118
>> That evening that bill

addresses on file my way down.

3463
01:53:58,323 --> 01:54:00,859
I asked myself what would make

3464
01:54:00,859 --> 01:54:02,127
a better Jacksonville. And I

3465
01:54:02,127 --> 01:54:02,794
think a better Jacksonville

3466
01:54:02,794 --> 01:54:05,194
will be elected officials.

3467
01:54:06,798 --> 01:54:07,332
Betty elected officials.

3468
01:54:07,332 --> 01:54:08,660
>> Kiahnna column.

01:54:08,660 --> 01:54:11,666
>> It's sitting in jail due in

3470
01:54:13,138 --> 01:54:14,139
60 days in jail. 3 years

3471
01:54:14,139 --> 01:54:14,840
probation for coming to a city

3472
01:54:14,840 --> 01:54:17,240
council meeting where he

3473
01:54:18,343 --> 01:54:19,100
almost got his snake broken.

3474
01:54:19,100 --> 01:54:21,180
It is a shame that you have

3475
01:54:21,180 --> 01:54:21,947
allowed this to happen. And

3476
01:54:21,947 --> 01:54:25,547
then last week you all voted

3477
01:54:26,151 --> 01:54:29,151
on the resolution cannot place

3478
01:54:29,221 --> 01:54:31,490
a jail in Riyadh, landing

3479
01:54:31,490 --> 01:54:32,490
area. You say let the process

3480
01:54:32,490 --> 01:54:33,125
pad process already passed.

3481
01:54:33,125 --> 01:54:36,125
You already pay some the

3482
01:54:36,328 --> 01:54:37,729
Bamiyan dollars People are

3483
01:54:37,729 --> 01:54:38,397
dying over there in London or

3484
01:54:38,397 --> 01:54:40,698
are rated brought a morgue

3485
01:54:40,698 --> 01:54:43,401
over there. You are rated,

3486
01:54:43,401 --> 01:54:44,737
bro, all of the local stores

3487
01:54:44,737 --> 01:54:45,471
over there. So the process has

3488
01:54:45,471 --> 01:54:48,340
already passed. What you could

3489
01:54:48,340 --> 01:54:49,208
have done is stop the real

3490
01:54:49,208 --> 01:54:52,208
landing process. Lot of people

3491
01:54:52,444 --> 01:54:55,347
being having a jail over

3492
01:54:55,347 --> 01:54:56,470
there. There's no place on an

3493
01:54:56,470 --> 01:54:57,515
off that if you really wanted

3494
01:54:57,515 --> 01:55:00,852
to say this is what's going to

3495
01:55:00,852 --> 01:55:01,553
happen, you pay 750,002 a

3496
01:55:01,553 --> 01:55:02,955
outside. So it's way you get

3497
01:55:02,955 --> 01:55:04,556
some better protect appeal.

3498
01:55:04,556 --> 01:55:06,625
Then you're going to say,

3499
01:55:06,625 --> 01:55:08,726
well, they selected than

3500
01:55:08,726 --> 01:55:09,795
offset. Then you're going to

3501
01:55:09,795 --> 01:55:11,796
say, well, if they selected

3502
01:55:11,796 --> 01:55:12,931
not said it has to be over on

3503
01:55:12,931 --> 01:55:14,233
and Sad thing aside then would

3504
01:55:14,233 --> 01:55:17,936
be over there on and off set.

3505
01:55:17,936 --> 01:55:18,637
Like I last stand. We need a

3506
01:55:18,637 --> 01:55:19,304
parliament because if you're

3507
01:55:19,304 --> 01:55:21,473
going to bring that not to

3508
01:55:21,473 --> 01:55:24,876
that. We're going to turn this

3509
01:55:24,876 --> 01:55:26,277

were able to get 50 character

3533
01:56:11,757 --> 01:56:14,157
letters speaking to the

3534
01:56:14,426 --> 01:56:17,426
goodness of Connor Cali Connor

3535
01:56:19,365 --> 01:56:21,266
was made an example of that

3536
01:56:21,266 --> 01:56:21,967
night and in his trial made an

3537
01:56:21,967 --> 01:56:22,968
example of what happens when

3538
01:56:22,968 --> 01:56:23,568
you speak against this

3539
01:56:23,568 --> 01:56:25,968
council, not for doing

3540
01:56:26,739 --> 01:56:27,573
anything actually wrong. And

3541
01:56:27,573 --> 01:56:28,274
that example shows us that you

3542
01:56:28,274 --> 01:56:31,874
can get 60 days in jail and 3

3543
01:56:32,143 --> 01:56:34,313
years of probation instead of

3544
01:56:34,313 --> 01:56:36,713
recognizing the real issue,

3545
01:56:37,182 --> 01:56:37,916
which is a violent officers

3546
01:56:37,916 --> 01:56:39,552
serving as sergeant of arms in

3547
01:56:39,552 --> 01:56:40,653
these chambers officer Aliaga

3548
01:56:40,653 --> 01:56:41,320
in particular, who has a

3549
01:56:41,320 --> 01:56:43,320
previous domestic violence

3550
01:56:45,290 --> 01:56:47,690
injunction against him instead

3551
01:56:47,693 --> 01:56:51,293
of the real the city Council

3552
01:56:51,396 --> 01:56:52,598
added insult to injury by

3553
01:56:52,598 --> 01:56:53,798
requesting a band from Connor

3554
01:56:53,798 --> 01:56:56,198
from City Council chambers.

3555
01:56:56,568 --> 01:56:57,736
Jason Tilted the specifically

3556
01:56:57,736 --> 01:57:00,136
interesting that he's an

3557
01:57:00,171 --> 01:57:01,600
attorney and this is a

3558
01:57:01,600 --> 01:57:03,600
flagrant constitutional

3559
01:57:04,643 --> 01:57:05,344
violation of condors rights.

3560
01:57:05,344 --> 01:57:06,110
This year. Long trial also a

3561
01:57:06,110 --> 01:57:09,110
huge waste of money. Thank

3562
01:57:15,354 --> 01:57:15,754
you, Neal Hendrix. You know,

3563
01:57:15,754 --> 01:57:17,754
Hendricks.

3564
01:57:20,325 --> 01:57:22,227
>> My address on file. I'm

3565
01:57:22,227 --> 01:57:23,428
here today show my support for

3566
01:57:23,428 --> 01:57:24,290
Connor Cali as he is currently

3567
01:57:24,290 --> 01:57:25,997
wrongfully serving his

3568
01:57:25,997 --> 01:57:28,233
sentence of 60 days with time

3569
01:57:28,233 --> 01:57:30,135
served 3 years of probation

3570
01:57:30,135 --> 01:57:33,135
and abundance of court fees

3571
01:57:33,205 --> 01:57:33,972
and fines on top 150 community

3572
01:57:33,972 --> 01:57:36,107
service hours. All being

3573
01:57:36,107 --> 01:57:37,642
ordered to stay 1000 feet

3574
01:57:37,642 --> 01:57:41,242
away. The cop who grabbed put

3575
01:57:41,614 --> 01:57:42,748
him over set of chairs. 60

3576
01:57:42,748 --> 01:57:43,749
days of being completely up or

3577
01:57:43,749 --> 01:57:44,750
didn't removed from society

3578
01:57:44,750 --> 01:57:46,351
due to focus trumped-up

3579
01:57:46,351 --> 01:57:47,520
charges for speaking out

3580
01:57:47,520 --> 01:57:49,452
against something people are

3581
01:57:50,389 --> 01:57:52,190
to Kabul to knowledge. That's

3582
01:57:52,190 --> 01:57:54,326
something being the genocidal

3583
01:57:54,326 --> 01:57:55,193
ethnic cleansing and ongoing.

3584
01:57:55,193 --> 01:57:56,261
Erase your of the Palestinian

3585
01:57:56,261 --> 01:57:57,697
people, their land and all

3586
01:57:57,697 --> 01:58:00,697
living things that are called

3587
01:58:02,835 --> 01:58:04,903
for decades. 2 weeks ago was

3588
01:58:04,903 --> 01:58:05,571
my first time attending a city

3589
01:58:05,571 --> 01:58:08,474
council meeting. What I saw

3590
01:58:08,474 --> 01:58:09,174
was not surprising. But

3591
01:58:09,174 --> 01:58:11,174
largely disappointing playing

3592
01:58:12,711 --> 01:58:13,345
on your phones, leaving your

3593
01:58:13,345 --> 01:58:15,745
seeds eating deep. Sighs.

3594
01:58:16,749 --> 01:58:18,851
Rolling your eyes. Well,

3595
01:58:18,851 --> 01:58:19,551
having sidebar conversations

3596
01:58:19,551 --> 01:58:20,218
as your constituents bring to

3597
01:58:20,218 --> 01:58:20,886
their thoughts concerns for

3598
01:58:20,886 --> 01:58:22,420
what we believe is best for

3599
01:58:22,420 --> 01:58:25,758
our city. If you want keep

3600
01:58:25,758 --> 01:58:27,960
your seat. I highly suggest.

3601
01:58:27,960 --> 01:58:30,960
You start looking at us.

3602
01:58:31,664 --> 01:58:32,931
Highly suggest that. Has just

3603
01:58:32,931 --> 01:58:33,899
you start looking as we speak

3604
01:58:33,899 --> 01:58:37,499
to you and pay attention that

3605
01:58:38,337 --> 01:58:39,370
we deserve. Because we put you

3606
01:58:39,370 --> 01:58:39,604
in the seat and we will have

3607
01:58:39,604 --> 01:58:42,400
no problems yet. From

3608
01:58:42,107 --> 01:58:43,842
underneath you. The

3609
01:58:43,842 --> 01:58:44,176
hardworking people are deserve

3610
01:58:44,176 --> 01:58:44,810
better.

3611
01:58:44,810 --> 01:58:47,810
>> Thank u. Next up wells

3612
01:58:55,120 --> 01:58:59,320
time. My name is well as Part

3613
01:58:59,759 --> 01:59:00,759
of our take em down Jax. The

3614
01:59:00,759 --> 01:59:03,759
question here is what taught

3615
01:59:04,863 --> 01:59:05,597
address. Please on file. The

3616
01:59:05,597 --> 01:59:07,900
question here is who is a city

3617
01:59:07,900 --> 01:59:11,500
council work for? You as a

3618
01:59:11,904 --> 01:59:12,604
city council members, you need

3619
01:59:12,604 --> 01:59:16,204
to have town hall meetings to

3620
01:59:16,475 --> 01:59:17,176
support the one Just the fact

3621
01:59:17,176 --> 01:59:20,176
that teaches a struggling to

3622
01:59:20,913 --> 01:59:21,580
make ends meet shows the rot.

3623
01:59:21,580 --> 01:59:24,580
That is the economic system

3624
01:59:26,652 --> 01:59:28,286
that we live and the needs of

3625
01:59:28,286 --> 01:59:28,955
the teachers children more

3626
01:59:28,955 --> 01:59:31,355
important. Then a developer

3627
01:59:32,724 --> 01:59:33,426
class. Because it seems like

3628
01:59:33,426 --> 01:59:37,260
that's who you favor in this

3629
01:59:37,163 --> 01:59:37,963
town. When teachers have to

3630
01:59:37,963 --> 01:59:40,833
work to a more jobs to make

3631
01:59:40,833 --> 01:59:43,302
ends meet. When they have to

3632
01:59:43,302 --> 01:59:45,738
go into that pockets. To buy

3633
01:59:45,738 --> 01:59:48,738
supplies for the kids. That

3634
01:59:50,800 --> 01:59:51,944
really shows. Next economic

3635
01:59:51,944 --> 01:59:52,812
situation that we live in in

3636
01:59:52,812 --> 01:59:55,212
this country. It's happening

3637
01:59:58,350 --> 01:59:58,984
all over the country. When I

3638
01:59:58,984 --> 02:00:01,384
look around at different

3639
02:00:03,723 --> 02:00:06,123
countries. That have free

3640
02:00:06,726 --> 02:00:09,126
education. That have universal

3641
02:00:10,729 --> 02:00:11,397
health care. Those countries

3642
02:00:11,397 --> 02:00:13,320
put the needs of the people

3643
02:00:13,320 --> 02:00:16,632
first. Not the needs of the

3644
02:00:16,969 --> 02:00:19,969
rich. You talk about taxes

3645
02:00:24,776 --> 02:00:25,477
tax, the rich. Greg in Beloit.

3646
02:00:25,477 --> 02:00:28,477
>> And then Ryan Delaney and

3647
02:00:29,515 --> 02:00:30,816
Ashley McKenzie.

3648
02:00:30,816 --> 02:00:31,817
>> Hi, Everyone. Dragon the

3649
02:00:31,817 --> 02:00:33,180
Loyal address on file. I've

3650
02:00:33,180 --> 02:00:33,653
got a couple of topics on a

3651
02:00:33,653 --> 02:00:35,788
hit on today. So I'm just

3652
02:00:35,788 --> 02:00:37,890
going to listen real quick

3653
02:00:37,890 --> 02:00:38,991
one. I have 7 flock cameras

3654
02:00:38,991 --> 02:00:40,192
within a half-mile of my

3655
02:00:40,192 --> 02:00:40,826
house. I cannot leave my house

3656
02:00:40,826 --> 02:00:43,226
without being tracked by

3657
02:00:44,296 --> 02:00:44,997
private corporation that. We

3658
02:00:44,997 --> 02:00:46,532
know not only uses the Ravens

3659
02:00:46,532 --> 02:00:48,532
systems to track.

3660
02:00:49,702 --> 02:00:51,670
>> These voices and speech.

3661
02:00:51,670 --> 02:00:54,473
>> But also to use ai assisted

3662
02:00:54,473 --> 02:00:55,675
facial recognition data to

3663
02:00:55,675 --> 02:00:56,308
keep a

3664
02:00:56,308 --> 02:00:57,877
>> model of you and your

3665
02:00:57,877 --> 02:00:59,412
habits and activities. And I'm

3666
02:00:59,412 --> 02:01:02,412
freaked out by that spill

3667
02:01:02,548 --> 02:01:04,517
free. Connor, Callie, that was

3668
02:01:04,517 --> 02:01:05,818
crazy. I've never seen a guy

3669
02:01:05,818 --> 02:01:07,520
get flipped over a chair and

3670
02:01:07,520 --> 02:01:09,755
then arrested for battery

3671
02:01:09,755 --> 02:01:10,456
before. But I guess that's

3672
02:01:10,456 --> 02:01:11,156
what battery is. I'm shocked

3673
02:01:11,156 --> 02:01:14,156
that and charged with battery

3674
02:01:16,280 --> 02:01:17,363
to the chair and finally a

3675
02:01:17,363 --> 02:01:18,970
love. The garden thing out of

3676
02:01:18,970 --> 02:01:20,199
cockpits are areas personally,

3677
02:01:20,199 --> 02:01:21,834
but I had just too much to say

3678
02:01:21,834 --> 02:01:24,504
to everybody. Frederik are not

3679
02:01:24,504 --> 02:01:26,472
very good corruption here.

3680
02:01:26,472 --> 02:01:27,205
Very bad. I think that it's

3681
02:01:27,205 --> 02:01:31,310
really sad that we have a bill

3682
02:01:31,310 --> 02:01:32,377
that should. Should be that we

3683
02:01:32,377 --> 02:01:33,746
know that that Bill got passed

3684
02:01:33,746 --> 02:01:34,446
because Democrat mayor now,

3685
02:01:34,446 --> 02:01:37,446
right, guys, like let's just

3686
02:01:39,218 --> 02:01:39,985
be real. But secondarily, it

3687
02:01:39,985 --> 02:01:40,886
really disappoints me that we

3688
02:01:40,886 --> 02:01:42,588
have an anticorruption measure

3689
02:01:42,588 --> 02:01:43,255
that could have been put in

3690
02:01:43,255 --> 02:01:46,855
place and we didn't put it

3691
02:01:47,250 --> 02:01:48,160
there. I maybe you guys think

3692
02:01:48,160 --> 02:01:49,462
of ethics board is doing well

3693
02:01:49,462 --> 02:01:51,862
enough right now. But

3694
02:01:53,332 --> 02:01:54,330
>> I mean,

3695
02:01:54,330 --> 02:01:57,330
>> the fact that the current

3696
02:01:57,303 --> 02:01:58,300
PRESIDENT Has a couple of

3697
02:01:58,300 --> 02:02:00,403
investigations open, but just

3698
02:02:01,740 --> 02:02:02,374
measure that right? Eyes. And

3699
02:02:02,374 --> 02:02:05,374
after MR. Blaney will be

3700
02:02:08,247 --> 02:02:09,114
actually MacKenzie. Brian

3701
02:02:09,114 --> 02:02:09,682
Delaney address on file in

3702
02:02:09,682 --> 02:02:11,682

Jacksonville, Palestine,

Solidarity Network.

3705
02:02:16,322 --> 02:02:18,560
>> I am here to inform the

3706
02:02:18,560 --> 02:02:19,591
city council that it is their

3707
02:02:19,591 --> 02:02:22,561
obligation to remove Aliaga as

3708
02:02:22,561 --> 02:02:23,662
a sergeant of arms at City

3709
02:02:23,662 --> 02:02:24,763
Council. This is because

3710
02:02:24,763 --> 02:02:27,163
Aliaga has continued presence

3711
02:02:28,701 --> 02:02:29,835
in these chambers will be a

3712
02:02:29,835 --> 02:02:32,235
clear violation of Connor

3713
02:02:32,971 --> 02:02:35,371
collies First Amendment right

3714
02:02:36,142 --> 02:02:38,845
after Judge Borello on the

3715
02:02:38,845 --> 02:02:41,245
recommendation MR. Teal had

3716
02:02:43,480 --> 02:02:44,784
sentenced Tuesday, 1000 feet

02:02:48,521 --> 02:02:50,521
that has effectively

3719
02:02:50,656 --> 02:02:51,657
represented itself as a way to

3720
02:02:51,657 --> 02:02:52,825
park Hunter Callie from these

3721
02:02:52,825 --> 02:02:56,228
meetings, which he has a First

3722
02:02:56,228 --> 02:02:56,829
Amendment right to attend. You

3723
02:02:56,829 --> 02:02:59,298
can be upset that this

3724
02:02:59,298 --> 02:03:00,900
situation as PRESIDENT, you

3725
02:03:00,900 --> 02:03:01,534
can say that you don't want to

3726
02:03:01,534 --> 02:03:02,234
remove all y'all got as a

3727
02:03:02,234 --> 02:03:03,169
sergeant of arms of City

3728
02:03:03,169 --> 02:03:06,169
Council. The only people to

3729
02:03:06,238 --> 02:03:08,474
blame in this situation. Judge

3730
02:03:08,474 --> 02:03:09,742
Brelo and MR. Teal for making

3731
02:03:09,742 --> 02:03:12,742
that decision and trying to

3732
02:03:13,246 --> 02:03:13,946
use a backdoor attempt to

3733
02:03:13,946 --> 02:03:14,613
flagrantly violate the First

3734
02:03:14,613 --> 02:03:17,130
Amendment rights of Connor.

3735
02:03:17,149 --> 02:03:20,749
Callie. I would also like to

3736
02:03:20,953 --> 02:03:21,587
say that I want to support the

3737
02:03:21,587 --> 02:03:23,856
demands put forth by the

3738
02:03:23,856 --> 02:03:24,490
Jacksonville Community Action

3739
02:03:24,490 --> 02:03:25,157
Committee. We need mental

3740
02:03:25,157 --> 02:03:25,891
health training and we need

3741
02:03:25,891 --> 02:03:27,993
mental health professionals to

3742
02:03:27,993 --> 02:03:30,620
handle mental health crises.

3743
02:03:30,620 --> 02:03:31,230
And I think need to stop

3744
02:03:31,230 --> 02:03:31,898
playing games with their jta

3745
02:03:31,898 --> 02:03:32,698
employees. They break their

3746
02:03:32,698 --> 02:03:36,298
backs to make the city work

3747
02:03:37,360 --> 02:03:38,304
and they deserve fair pay.

3748
02:03:38,304 --> 02:03:39,605
Next up, Ashley McKenzie. And

3749
02:03:39,605 --> 02:03:40,272
then the next group come on

3750
02:03:40,272 --> 02:03:42,672
down. Jamie Travis Leonard

3751
02:03:43,375 --> 02:03:44,760
Felix been venture.

3752
02:03:44,760 --> 02:03:46,476
>> Avery Holbrook, Sarah had

3753
02:03:48,180 --> 02:03:50,883
died. Dina Zachary, a and

3754
02:03:50,883 --> 02:03:53,283
Sarah, believe that Sarah.

3755
02:03:54,420 --> 02:03:56,820
We've seen. Ashley good.

3756
02:03:57,323 --> 02:03:57,690
Actually. Because the address

3757
02:03:57,690 --> 02:03:58,491
on file.

3758
02:03:58,491 --> 02:03:59,659
>> It's evident now more than

3759
02:03:59,659 --> 02:04:00,326
ever that city council members

3760
02:04:00,326 --> 02:04:00,993
uphold an almost unanimous

3761
02:04:00,993 --> 02:04:03,393
commitment to attacking the

3762
02:04:03,663 --> 02:04:05,632
cause constitutional rights of

3763
02:04:05,632 --> 02:04:06,299
their constituents. Okay. So

3764
02:04:06,299 --> 02:04:07,700
my friend, Connor Callie, a

3765
02:04:07,700 --> 02:04:08,767
judge Hughes, Jason tells

3766
02:04:08,767 --> 02:04:09,402
testimony to ban Connor from

3767
02:04:09,402 --> 02:04:11,802
being within 1000 feet of

3768
02:04:11,904 --> 02:04:12,605
Officer Ali Agha ruling that

3769
02:04:12,605 --> 02:04:13,305
effectively restricts Connor

3770
02:04:13,305 --> 02:04:16,305
from exercising his right to

3771
02:04:16,308 --> 02:04:17,420
public discourse at City Hall.

3772
02:04:17,420 --> 02:04:17,644
Whenever Ali AUGUST PRESIDENT,

3773
02:04:17,644 --> 02:04:20,279
since he serves as your

3774
02:04:20,279 --> 02:04:21,180
sergeant of arms, this woman

3775
02:04:21,180 --> 02:04:21,780
is a of an officer's presence,

3776
02:04:21,780 --> 02:04:23,780
destructive measures to

3777
02:04:24,116 --> 02:04:25,150
Connors right to free speech.

3778
02:04:25,150 --> 02:04:25,618
Now I want to compare Connors

3779
02:04:25,618 --> 02:04:27,520
characters that

3780
02:04:27,520 --> 02:04:29,520
heavy-handedness of his

3781
02:04:30,890 --> 02:04:30,823
sentencing. 50 people letters

3782
02:04:30,823 --> 02:04:31,491
calling Connor a compassionate

3783
02:04:31,491 --> 02:04:32,859
and caring human who spends

3784
02:04:32,859 --> 02:04:34,600
his time advocating for better

3785
02:04:34,600 --> 02:04:35,161
living conditions. Everyone

3786
02:04:35,161 --> 02:04:36,280
sitting in these chambers and

3787
02:04:36,280 --> 02:04:37,630
fighting against the genocide

3788
02:04:37,630 --> 02:04:38,263
of the Palestinian people,

3789
02:04:38,263 --> 02:04:38,865
which is at odds with the

3790
02:04:38,865 --> 02:04:40,865
pro-Israel stance. This

3791
02:04:40,899 --> 02:04:41,600
council has cemented itself

3792
02:04:41,600 --> 02:04:44,600
city council. The judges and

3793
02:04:44,938 --> 02:04:45,605
jso is response. False

3794
02:04:45,605 --> 02:04:47,730
testimonies by city council

3795
02:04:47,730 --> 02:04:49,740
members during the trial, 60

3796
02:04:49,740 --> 02:04:49,709
days in jail, 3 years

3797
02:04:49,709 --> 02:04:50,376
probation in the year-ago

3798
02:04:50,376 --> 02:04:52,511
being thrown over a row of

3799
02:04:52,511 --> 02:04:53,179
chairs by Aliaga the City

3800
02:04:53,179 --> 02:04:53,880
Council followed tk Waters

3801
02:04:53,880 --> 02:04:56,149
narrative to make an example

3802
02:04:56,149 --> 02:04:57,517
out of Connor and greedy 2

3803
02:04:57,517 --> 02:04:58,450
going members of the

3804
02:04:58,450 --> 02:04:59,551
community. Meanwhile, the

3805
02:04:59,551 --> 02:05:00,253
officer they protect has a

3806
02:05:00,253 --> 02:05:02,653
history of domestic violence

3807
02:05:03,550 --> 02:05:03,756
in citizens, complaints for

3808
02:05:03,756 --> 02:05:05,524
harassment. Many members who

3809
02:05:05,524 --> 02:05:07,694
are here on 5/27/2025 know the

3810
02:05:07,694 --> 02:05:09,762
truth. The whole chamber was

3811
02:05:09,762 --> 02:05:10,462
clapping, jso targeted to

3812
02:05:10,462 --> 02:05:11,131
organize for their political

3813
02:05:11,131 --> 02:05:12,765
views. And the city Council

3814
02:05:12,765 --> 02:05:15,340
did nothing but field. The

3815
02:05:15,340 --> 02:05:15,801
flames. You are complicit

3816
02:05:15,801 --> 02:05:18,201
because you one officially

3817
02:05:18,304 --> 02:05:18,972
refused to speak out against

3818
02:05:18,972 --> 02:05:19,672
chances brutality, whether

3819
02:05:19,672 --> 02:05:22,642
it's against MacNeill or the

3820
02:05:22,642 --> 02:05:23,276
murder of Charles Bagger. You

3821
02:05:23,276 --> 02:05:24,744
also help jso attack free

3822
02:05:24,744 --> 02:05:27,744
speech in this very chamber

3823
02:05:33,585 --> 02:05:34,587
and 3 people this letter.

3824
02:05:34,587 --> 02:05:36,122
>> Good evening, City

3825
02:05:36,122 --> 02:05:36,789
Councilmembers. My name is

3826
02:05:36,789 --> 02:05:37,490
Jamie Travis I addresses on

3827
02:05:37,490 --> 02:05:40,490
file. This feels taller than

3828
02:05:41,827 --> 02:05:42,995
usual. So I want to start by

3829
02:05:42,995 --> 02:05:43,729
with some things. I'd like to

3830
02:05:43,729 --> 02:05:44,864
thank everybody that visited

3831
02:05:44,864 --> 02:05:47,000
the Trout River Food Park a

3832
02:05:47,000 --> 02:05:48,401
few weeks ago by my house.

3833
02:05:48,401 --> 02:05:49,101
Love going there shout out to

3834
02:05:49,101 --> 02:05:52,338
mixon's if you want some good

3835
02:05:52,338 --> 02:05:53,306
fried chicken. Also want to

3836
02:05:53,306 --> 02:05:55,706
thank council members Arias

02:05:55,909 --> 02:05:58,909
Matt carlucci Clark Mary for

3838
02:05:59,111 --> 02:06:01,246
hosting some a community.

3839
02:06:01,246 --> 02:06:03,246
Public comment. Opportunities

3840
02:06:05,840 --> 02:06:06,352
last Friday I attended both

3841
02:06:06,352 --> 02:06:07,860
and also Councilmember Salem

3842
02:06:07,860 --> 02:06:07,753
for speaking at the end of one

3843
02:06:07,753 --> 02:06:08,454
of them. We appreciate you

3844
02:06:08,454 --> 02:06:10,957
showing up, even if it's just

3845
02:06:10,957 --> 02:06:12,158
for a little bit.

3846
02:06:12,158 --> 02:06:13,826
>> Now on what I think are

3847
02:06:13,826 --> 02:06:16,362
some priority items. So I love

3848
02:06:16,362 --> 02:06:18,762
the you said there's.

3849
02:06:20,300 --> 02:06:21,340
>> No crashes But what a Hey,

3850
02:06:21,340 --> 02:06:21,701
i owed a big favor to a friend

3851
02:06:21,701 --> 02:06:23,202
and opted to put him on the

3852
02:06:23,202 --> 02:06:25,371
jta board. Has your term was

3853
02:06:25,371 --> 02:06:27,607
expiring? Not sure if you want

3854
02:06:27,607 --> 02:06:28,274
to stay do this for my guy

3855
02:06:28,274 --> 02:06:31,677
tabs on me when we link up

3856
02:06:31,677 --> 02:06:35,140
next. Yes. How could we at a

3857
02:06:35,140 --> 02:06:35,681
for suspect, corruption or

3858
02:06:35,681 --> 02:06:38,810
favoritism or anything from

3859
02:06:38,451 --> 02:06:39,151
this council. Goodness, what?

3860
02:06:39,151 --> 02:06:43,155
And I think for the public to

3861
02:06:43,155 --> 02:06:45,191
question. So with that as

3862
02:06:45,191 --> 02:06:45,925
well, please support their

3863
02:06:45,925 --> 02:06:48,270
compensation for our water and

3864
02:06:48,270 --> 02:06:50,270
waterways. Division members

3865
02:06:51,164 --> 02:06:52,310
like, you know, local 6.30,

3866
02:06:52,310 --> 02:06:52,732
they are currently negotiating

3867
02:06:52,732 --> 02:06:53,399
with ge. 8 up a leading about

3868
02:06:53,399 --> 02:06:55,802
2 road stops, which I think

3869
02:06:55,802 --> 02:06:56,469
you all could help him with.

3870
02:06:56,469 --> 02:06:58,837
Thank you. Thank you. Feel

3871
02:06:58,837 --> 02:07:00,773
part of the answer.

3872
02:07:00,773 --> 02:07:03,173
>> And then Avery Holbrook.

3873
02:07:04,344 --> 02:07:05,244
After MISTER Felix.

3874
02:07:05,244 --> 02:07:08,844
>> My name is Felix been entry

3875
02:07:09,480 --> 02:07:09,715
addresses on file. First the

3876
02:07:09,715 --> 02:07:10,816
jta is about to get rid of

3877
02:07:10,816 --> 02:07:13,386
free bus rides for university

3878
02:07:13,386 --> 02:07:14,220
students. What's up with that?

3879
02:07:14,220 --> 02:07:15,955
Students were not the ones who

3880
02:07:15,955 --> 02:07:17,590
cost the city a bunch of

3881
02:07:17,590 --> 02:07:18,324
money. Most of us don't have

3882
02:07:18,324 --> 02:07:19,580
cars that but we still deserve

3883
02:07:19,580 --> 02:07:23,195
to be able to get around. It's

3884
02:07:23,195 --> 02:07:24,730
not fair. Next up, Connor.

3885
02:07:24,730 --> 02:07:25,431
Callie Connor, Callie and the

3886
02:07:25,431 --> 02:07:26,990
a Grade ii did nothing wrong.

3887
02:07:26,990 --> 02:07:28,499
They're facing charges and

3888
02:07:29,690 --> 02:07:30,570
jail time anyways. And Conor

3889
02:07:30,570 --> 02:07:31,237
has been effectively prevented

3890
02:07:31,237 --> 02:07:32,806
from coming back to public

3891
02:07:32,806 --> 02:07:33,506
comments City Council meetings

3892
02:07:33,506 --> 02:07:36,506
by the restraining order from

3893
02:07:39,846 --> 02:07:40,513
officer I'm sure that everyone

3894
02:07:40,513 --> 02:07:41,314
up there, all of all of you

3895
02:07:41,314 --> 02:07:42,315
all, you're looking forward to

3896
02:07:42,315 --> 02:07:42,982
Connors release. So you do

3897
02:07:42,982 --> 02:07:45,151
have to hear about any more

3898
02:07:45,151 --> 02:07:47,200
any more. Let me put that fear

3899
02:07:47,200 --> 02:07:47,720
to rest. We're going to be out

3900
02:07:47,720 --> 02:07:48,855
here, council meeting and the

3901
02:07:48,855 --> 02:07:49,556
meeting after that. And after

3902
02:07:49,556 --> 02:07:53,156
that, we're not going to shut

3903
02:07:53,293 --> 02:07:54,861
up about it until something

3904
02:07:54,861 --> 02:07:55,629
changes because right now and

3905
02:07:55,629 --> 02:07:58,640
innocent man who did nothing

3906
02:07:58,640 --> 02:07:58,932
wrong is serving time in jail

3907
02:07:58,932 --> 02:07:59,498
and about is about to get

3908
02:07:59,498 --> 02:08:01,898
stuck with 3 years of

3909
02:08:03,136 --> 02:08:05,136
probation. Exactly. Speaking

3910
02:08:05,605 --> 02:08:08,241
up for Palestine. This clearly

3911
02:08:08,241 --> 02:08:10,641
a politically motivated and

3912
02:08:12,912 --> 02:08:13,613
frankly, it is evil to sit

3913
02:08:13,613 --> 02:08:14,881
here and not not only support

3914
02:08:14,881 --> 02:08:17,881
the genocide that continues to

3915
02:08:18,170 --> 02:08:20,190
occur and the say nothing

3916
02:08:20,190 --> 02:08:20,753
against that and actively

3917
02:08:20,753 --> 02:08:21,454
arrest and a brutalized and

3918
02:08:21,454 --> 02:08:23,556
police. The people who do say

3919
02:08:23,556 --> 02:08:24,691
something against That's all

3920
02:08:24,691 --> 02:08:27,910
free Palestine and free

3921
02:08:28,929 --> 02:08:30,929
Connor. Avery Holbrook.

3922
02:08:31,464 --> 02:08:32,165
>> And then Dog will be after.

3923
02:08:32,165 --> 02:08:34,834
>> If you have a look at just

3924
02:08:34,834 --> 02:08:36,834
some file.

3925
02:08:39,710 --> 02:08:41,808
>> a few weeks ago, was

3926
02:08:41,808 --> 02:08:44,808
sentenced to 60 days in jail

3927
02:08:45,612 --> 02:08:46,746
150 hours of community service

3928
02:08:46,746 --> 02:08:48,715
and a one-thousand pushing

3929
02:08:48,715 --> 02:08:50,817
order from the man who saw him

3930
02:08:50,817 --> 02:08:53,217
officer and domestic abuser.

3931
02:08:55,655 --> 02:08:59,250
The I think 9% of you agree

3932
02:08:59,250 --> 02:09:02,950
me. That is a complete and

3933
02:09:02,950 --> 02:09:04,564
Justin scene and that this

3934
02:09:04,564 --> 02:09:06,199
officer should not be. On jso

3935
02:09:06,199 --> 02:09:08,101
at all anymore.

3936
02:09:08,101 --> 02:09:10,101
>> t?

3937
02:09:11,504 --> 02:09:12,171
>> Nearly killed Connor who

3938
02:09:12,171 --> 02:09:14,174
had done absolutely nothing

3939
02:09:14,174 --> 02:09:17,209
other than stand up and clap.

3940
02:09:17,209 --> 02:09:21,409
And I know you guys. Do not

3941
02:09:21,414 --> 02:09:22,114
agree with him all for some of

3942
02:09:22,114 --> 02:09:24,383
surgeries. And you think that

3943
02:09:24,383 --> 02:09:25,419
opposing a just as bad. But

3944
02:09:25,419 --> 02:09:28,855
that doesn't mean that is okay

3945
02:09:28,855 --> 02:09:30,323
for you, too. Try to step over

3946
02:09:30,323 --> 02:09:32,723
his First Amendment rights.

3947
02:09:35,495 --> 02:09:36,662
Second of all. We need to.

3948
02:09:36,662 --> 02:09:40,262
Change how cops work in this

3949
02:09:43,970 --> 02:09:45,638
city. It is not. Viable to

3950
02:09:45,638 --> 02:09:48,380
spend 600 million dollars a

3951
02:09:49,410 --> 02:09:50,770
year. Our state sponsored kkk.

3952
02:09:50,770 --> 02:09:53,770
While we let people be

3953
02:09:53,980 --> 02:09:56,716
homeless, we let them not have

3954
02:09:56,716 --> 02:09:58,500
they cannot afford gas.

3955
02:09:58,500 --> 02:10:00,720
They're not able to get jobs.

3956
02:10:00,720 --> 02:10:03,720
But you think that? Making

3957
02:10:10,196 --> 02:10:12,196
sure didn't.

3958
02:10:13,133 --> 02:10:13,867
>> My name is Dad and the

3959
02:10:13,867 --> 02:10:14,567
matters on file. I'm here

3960
02:10:14,567 --> 02:10:16,567
representing the Jacksonville

3961
02:10:16,636 --> 02:10:18,170
Pasta and Solidarity network.

3962
02:10:18,170 --> 02:10:19,720
And I'm also here speak out

3963
02:10:19,720 --> 02:10:21,875
about Connor Callie, who was

3964
02:10:21,875 --> 02:10:22,943
arrested in chambers year ago.

3965
02:10:22,943 --> 02:10:24,210
I'm sure you're familiar with

3966
02:10:24,210 --> 02:10:25,912
the case by now. Your city

3967
02:10:25,912 --> 02:10:27,714
Council, Sergeant of Arms

3968
02:10:27,714 --> 02:10:28,414
Aliaga Ruiz, but allies,

3969
02:10:28,414 --> 02:10:32,140
Connor. And yet Connor is the

3970
02:10:32,510 --> 02:10:32,752
one sitting in jail. Connor

3971
02:10:32,752 --> 02:10:34,200
Kelly received 50 individual

3972
02:10:34,200 --> 02:10:35,221
letters speaking to his good

3973
02:10:35,221 --> 02:10:35,922
character and he was still

3974
02:10:35,922 --> 02:10:38,825
sentence heart in the state.

3975
02:10:38,825 --> 02:10:41,194
Even asked for 60 days in jail

3976
02:10:41,194 --> 02:10:43,194
150 hours. Community service

3977
02:10:43,262 --> 02:10:45,399
and 3 years of probation for

3978
02:10:45,399 --> 02:10:46,990
what this is, what happens

3979
02:10:46,990 --> 02:10:46,699
when upstanding citizens want

3980
02:10:46,699 --> 02:10:48,834
to speak up for their

3981
02:10:48,834 --> 02:10:49,568
community. It's just plain

3982
02:10:49,568 --> 02:10:51,738
wrong now. Compare that to the

3983
02:10:51,738 --> 02:10:53,806
tape, a citizen that Al Jaeger

3984
02:10:53,806 --> 02:10:55,642
Ruiz is a he has a history of

3985
02:10:55,642 --> 02:10:56,342
domestic violence. Multiple

3986
02:10:56,342 --> 02:10:57,100
community complaints against

3987
02:10:57,100 --> 02:10:57,711
him and he gets to continue

3988
02:10:57,711 --> 02:11:00,580
this trend of violence in his

3989
02:11:00,580 --> 02:11:01,214
work. In these chambers on

3990
02:11:01,214 --> 02:11:04,214
Connor and then play the

3991
02:11:05,180 --> 02:11:05,685
victim as well. Along with a

3992
02:11:05,685 --> 02:11:06,886
sentencing. The judge rules

3993
02:11:06,886 --> 02:11:07,487
rule that Connor cannot be

3994
02:11:07,487 --> 02:11:09,422
within 1000 feet of the

3995
02:11:09,422 --> 02:11:10,323
officer that paralyzed him,

3996
02:11:10,323 --> 02:11:12,325
which effectively bans Connor

3997
02:11:12,325 --> 02:11:14,194
from coming back to city

3998
02:11:14,194 --> 02:11:14,828
Council. This is blatant

3999
02:11:14,828 --> 02:11:15,528
silencing of one of the

4000
02:11:15,528 --> 02:11:17,528
strongest community fighters

4001
02:11:18,231 --> 02:11:20,167
this council has ever seen. So

4002
02:11:20,167 --> 02:11:21,670
I ask you today to no longer

4003
02:11:21,670 --> 02:11:22,335
play officers with a history

4004
02:11:22,335 --> 02:11:22,969
of violence there, too many

4005
02:11:22,969 --> 02:11:25,369
cases of violent officers

4006
02:11:25,405 --> 02:11:26,720
using excessive force. Let's

4007
02:11:26,720 --> 02:11:28,308
weed out the bad apples and

4008
02:11:28,308 --> 02:11:30,310
start out with Al Jaeger

4009
02:11:30,310 --> 02:11:31,277
wheeze. We demand a city

4010
02:11:31,277 --> 02:11:32,110
council remove Aliaga as

4011
02:11:32,110 --> 02:11:34,800
officer of arms and let Connor

4012
02:11:34,800 --> 02:11:36,550
speak. Next up, the Nasdaq.

4013
02:11:36,550 --> 02:11:38,550
Are you?

4014
02:11:38,852 --> 02:11:41,852
>> And then Sarah, I believe

4015
02:11:41,954 --> 02:11:44,954
the last things he's seen.

4016
02:11:45,910 --> 02:11:46,192
>> You know, Correa address on

4017
02:11:46,192 --> 02:11:47,600
file. I'm here to exercise my

4018
02:11:47,600 --> 02:11:49,128
First Amendment right. The

4019
02:11:49,128 --> 02:11:50,997
same right that was violated

4020
02:11:50,997 --> 02:11:52,310
on MAY 27th of last year when

4021
02:11:52,310 --> 02:11:52,733
jso under the purview of City

4022
02:11:52,733 --> 02:11:55,133
Council attacked free speech

4023
02:11:55,235 --> 02:11:55,935
in these chambers. This whole

4024
02:11:55,935 --> 02:11:58,335
room was rowdy, but 2

4025
02:11:58,605 --> 02:12:00,106
outspoken rockacy targeted.

4026
02:12:00,106 --> 02:12:00,907
The only things that encounter

4027
02:12:00,907 --> 02:12:01,508
Collin Leah Grady, apart with

4028
02:12:01,508 --> 02:12:03,242
that, they were regular

4029
02:12:03,242 --> 02:12:05,110
attendees speaking up for the

4030
02:12:05,110 --> 02:12:05,746
community and this comes to no

4031
02:12:05,746 --> 02:12:08,514
surprise when the city Council

4032
02:12:08,514 --> 02:12:09,816
continuously plus the budget

4033
02:12:09,816 --> 02:12:11,551
Andwe city money on Connor in

4034
02:12:11,551 --> 02:12:12,419
the U.S. Trials and were left

4035
02:12:12,419 --> 02:12:13,386
over policed with things like

4036
02:12:13,386 --> 02:12:15,386
public infrastructure, mental

4037
02:12:15,789 --> 02:12:17,791
health resources and union

4038
02:12:17,791 --> 02:12:18,425
contracts, underfunded in the

4039
02:12:18,425 --> 02:12:19,826
same vein, the same city

4040
02:12:19,826 --> 02:12:20,526
council before us condone jso

4041
02:12:20,526 --> 02:12:22,663
grabbing Connor by the neck,

4042
02:12:22,663 --> 02:12:23,363
throwing him to the ground

4043
02:12:23,363 --> 02:12:23,997
just for being a concerned

4044
02:12:23,997 --> 02:12:25,799
citizen for which is now

4045
02:12:25,799 --> 02:12:27,233
sitting in the county jail for

4046
02:12:27,233 --> 02:12:29,135
60 days. He is an upstanding

4047
02:12:29,135 --> 02:12:30,370
citizen, a union member, a

4048
02:12:30,370 --> 02:12:31,710
good neighbor and their people

4049
02:12:31,710 --> 02:12:31,771
in front of me who have done

4050
02:12:31,771 --> 02:12:35,108
their best to make an example

4051
02:12:35,108 --> 02:12:35,808
out of him. I sat through both

4052
02:12:35,808 --> 02:12:37,100
trials and it was clear this

4053
02:12:37,100 --> 02:12:37,611
case was never about Lia or

4054
02:12:37,611 --> 02:12:39,611
Connor, quote, unquote,

4055
02:12:40,780 --> 02:12:41,514
following the rules. It was

4056
02:12:41,514 --> 02:12:42,515
about silence people silencing

4057
02:12:42,515 --> 02:12:43,483
people who speak out like any

4058
02:12:43,483 --> 02:12:45,652
one of us here at public

4059
02:12:45,652 --> 02:12:47,860
comment and you're allowing

4060
02:12:47,860 --> 02:12:47,854
officers a history, a record

4061
02:12:47,854 --> 02:12:48,588
of citizens, complaints and

4062
02:12:48,588 --> 02:12:50,423
domestic violence. Injunctions

4063
02:12:50,423 --> 02:12:51,910
like Officer Aliaga to

4064
02:12:51,910 --> 02:12:53,491
consistently work at these

4065
02:12:55,795 --> 02:12:57,300
meetings. We demand that you

4066
02:12:57,300 --> 02:12:57,964
let Connor speak and officer

4067
02:12:57,964 --> 02:12:59,566
of the aga be removed as a

4068
02:12:59,566 --> 02:13:01,334
sergeant of arms, all youngest

4069
02:13:01,334 --> 02:13:01,935
presence prevents the right to

4070
02:13:01,935 --> 02:13:02,702
free speech and the and

4071
02:13:02,702 --> 02:13:06,302
utterly poses a risk to public

4072
02:13:07,107 --> 02:13:07,841
safety. Thank you. Thank u.

4073
02:13:07,841 --> 02:13:08,708
Next up U.S. Air he's seen and

Good.

>> Starr has seen address on

4082
02:13:23,490 --> 02:13:24,224
file. I'm here today as a

4083
02:13:24,224 --> 02:13:25,692
concerned community member and

4084
02:13:25,692 --> 02:13:27,561
friend of Connor, Collin Leah

4085
02:13:27,561 --> 02:13:28,428
Grady, both were falsely

4086
02:13:28,428 --> 02:13:30,463
convicted of bogus charges for

02:13:32,231 --> 02:13:32,900
Amendment rights. Connor

4089
02:13:32,900 --> 02:13:34,301
sitting in the Duval County

4090
02:13:34,301 --> 02:13:35,668
jail as we speak without

4091
02:13:35,668 --> 02:13:37,237
sufficient access to drinking

4092
02:13:37,237 --> 02:13:39,105
water because Jason Steele and

4093
02:13:39,105 --> 02:13:39,839
tk Waters along with members

4094
02:13:39,839 --> 02:13:43,109
of this council wanted to make

4095
02:13:43,109 --> 02:13:44,878
an example out of him as

4096
02:13:44,878 --> 02:13:46,790
evidence by the 50 glowing

4097
02:13:46,790 --> 02:13:46,780
character letters Connor

4098
02:13:46,780 --> 02:13:48,114
received during his trial. He

4099
02:13:48,114 --> 02:13:48,982
is an upstanding community

4100
02:13:48,982 --> 02:13:49,716
member, neighbor and friend

4101
02:13:49,716 --> 02:13:50,350
who dedicates his time to

4102
02:13:50,350 --> 02:13:51,618
feeding the un House and

4103
02:13:51,618 --> 02:13:52,886
speaking out against

4104
02:13:52,886 --> 02:13:53,520
Injustice. Connors been

4105
02:13:53,520 --> 02:13:55,920
condemned to 60 days and

4106
02:13:55,922 --> 02:13:57,570
important conditions in jail

4107
02:13:57,570 --> 02:13:58,625
on top of 3 years probation

4108
02:13:58,625 --> 02:13:59,826
while the city throws a

4109
02:13:59,826 --> 02:14:01,270
billion dollars towards a new

4110
02:14:01,270 --> 02:14:03,163
jail continues to expand jso

4111
02:14:03,163 --> 02:14:03,897
is budget instead of improving

4112
02:14:03,897 --> 02:14:05,231
conditions in the existing one

4113
02:14:05,231 --> 02:14:07,500
or creating a mental health

4114
02:14:07,500 --> 02:14:08,502
response. This empowers jso to

4115
02:14:08,502 --> 02:14:09,836
continue to brutalize people

4116
02:14:09,836 --> 02:14:10,570
like Carter, Callie and kill

4117
02:14:10,570 --> 02:14:13,173
people in mental health crises

4118
02:14:13,173 --> 02:14:13,907
like Richard Martin. Make no

4119
02:14:13,907 --> 02:14:16,343
mistake, the attacks on Connor

4120
02:14:16,343 --> 02:14:16,977
and we are a tax on all of our

4121
02:14:16,977 --> 02:14:17,978
constitutional rights and

4122
02:14:17,978 --> 02:14:18,645
attempt to silence

4123
02:14:18,645 --> 02:14:19,313
pro-palestine voices in the

4124
02:14:19,313 --> 02:14:20,580
community from speaking up

4125
02:14:20,580 --> 02:14:22,883
against ongoing genocide in

4126
02:14:22,883 --> 02:14:24,418
Gaza. Connor sentencing

4127
02:14:24,418 --> 02:14:25,319
mandates. He 1000 feet away

4128
02:14:25,319 --> 02:14:26,186
from Ali Agha, the officer who

4129
02:14:26,186 --> 02:14:28,788
dragged him by his neck over

4130
02:14:28,788 --> 02:14:29,489
are is in these very chambers

4131
02:14:29,489 --> 02:14:31,889
effectively banning him from

4132
02:14:32,859 --> 02:14:33,527
City Council upon his release.

4133
02:14:33,527 --> 02:14:34,261
All presence in chambers is

4134
02:14:34,261 --> 02:14:35,262
being weaponized to attack on

4135
02:14:35,262 --> 02:14:37,631
right to free speech on top of

4136
02:14:37,631 --> 02:14:38,332
being brutalized. The officer

4137
02:14:38,332 --> 02:14:39,666
aliaga, he is being silenced

4138
02:14:39,666 --> 02:14:40,634
and effectively barred from

4139
02:14:40,634 --> 02:14:41,468
chambers if anyone should be

4140
02:14:41,468 --> 02:14:42,836
barred from these chambers, it

4141
02:14:42,836 --> 02:14:43,837
should be officer all younger

4142
02:14:43,837 --> 02:14:45,939
Ruiz. One top of this violent

4143
02:14:45,939 --> 02:14:47,908
conduct towards Conner also

4144
02:14:47,908 --> 02:14:49,509
has a documented history of

4145
02:14:49,509 --> 02:14:50,443
domestic violence. He should

4146
02:14:50,443 --> 02:14:51,112
be removed from this position.

4147
02:14:51,112 --> 02:14:51,745
Sergeant, next, those that

4148
02:14:51,745 --> 02:14:54,145
threat to our state.

4149
02:14:54,581 --> 02:14:56,981
>> Deborah Patrick. As Deborah

your way to your seats.

4158
02:15:20,740 --> 02:15:23,140
>> Good evening. Lindsey Boyer

address on file. I want to

4160
02:15:24,378 --> 02:15:25,712
begin by voicing my support

4161
02:15:25,712 --> 02:15:28,712
for the demands of union

4162
02:15:28,915 --> 02:15:29,650
members and the jc a scene. My

4163
02:15:29,650 --> 02:15:31,785
remaining remarks regarding my

4164
02:15:31,785 --> 02:15:34,185
dear comrade, Connor, Cali.

4165
02:15:34,321 --> 02:15:36,189
I'm also a member, the

4166
02:15:36,189 --> 02:15:38,910
Jacksonville, Palestine

4167
02:15:38,910 --> 02:15:40,910
Solidarity Network following

4168
02:15:40,940 --> 02:15:41,940
the egregious miscarriage of

4169
02:15:41,940 --> 02:15:41,795
justice sentencing Connor to

4170
02:15:41,795 --> 02:15:44,795
60 days in jail probation and

4171
02:15:46,633 --> 02:15:47,267
community service.

4172
02:15:47,267 --> 02:15:48,680
>> There is an additional

4173
02:15:48,680 --> 02:15:50,103
order for him to stay 1000

4174
02:15:50,103 --> 02:15:50,771
feet away from the officer who

4175
02:15:50,771 --> 02:15:51,905
brutalized him, sergeant at

4176
02:15:51,905 --> 02:15:53,905
arms all the

4177
02:15:55,942 --> 02:15:57,611
>> Connor is in admirable

4178
02:15:57,611 --> 02:15:59,113
individual with an uncommon

4179
02:15:59,113 --> 02:16:00,281
dedication to his community.

4180
02:16:00,281 --> 02:16:01,281
This is behavior more than a

4181
02:16:01,281 --> 02:16:02,883
few members of this council

4182
02:16:02,883 --> 02:16:06,483
really, of our whole city. I

4183
02:16:07,554 --> 02:16:08,555
try emulate ing this ban him

4184
02:16:08,555 --> 02:16:10,560
staying at 1000 feet away from

4185
02:16:10,560 --> 02:16:10,758
all the is a blatant attempt

4186
02:16:10,758 --> 02:16:13,960
to silence his voice here in

4187
02:16:13,960 --> 02:16:15,662
what should be house of the

4188
02:16:15,662 --> 02:16:17,731
people violating his First

4189
02:16:17,731 --> 02:16:19,731
Amendment rights. Furthermore,

4190
02:16:20,701 --> 02:16:21,401
retaining Ali Agha, who has a

4191
02:16:21,401 --> 02:16:22,135
domestic violence injunction

4192
02:16:22,135 --> 02:16:22,802
against him in another county,

4193
02:16:22,802 --> 02:16:23,536
a sergeant at arms in this

4194
02:16:23,536 --> 02:16:26,536
chamber is deeply offensive to

4195
02:16:27,700 --> 02:16:27,741
victims of domestic violence.

4196
02:16:27,741 --> 02:16:29,109
It's insulting to the citizens

4197
02:16:29,109 --> 02:16:30,444
of Jacksonville and frankly,

4198
02:16:30,444 --> 02:16:32,946
also the women serving in this

4199
02:16:32,946 --> 02:16:35,490
chamber that we are expected

4200
02:16:35,490 --> 02:16:35,615
to interest our safety to

4201
02:16:35,615 --> 02:16:36,216
unknown abuser openly

4202
02:16:36,216 --> 02:16:36,716
brutalize U.S. Citizens

4203
02:16:36,716 --> 02:16:38,716
exercising their

4204
02:16:39,553 --> 02:16:41,553
constitutional rights. Let

4205
02:16:41,588 --> 02:16:42,289
Connor speak, stop political

4206
02:16:42,289 --> 02:16:43,691
repression, free, Connor, and

4207
02:16:43,691 --> 02:16:44,358
free Palestine.

4208
02:16:44,358 --> 02:16:46,758
>> Thank you. Denise Cook,

4209
02:16:53,330 --> 02:16:55,202
Europe. Coached address on

4210
02:16:55,202 --> 02:16:55,903
file. Just real quick. There's

4211
02:16:55,903 --> 02:17:00,703
a lot going on. We had a lot

4212
02:17:01,175 --> 02:17:01,909
of activity this evening it's

4213
02:17:01,909 --> 02:17:03,243
great to see isn't. It's great

4214
02:17:03,243 --> 02:17:06,346
to see that we have this

4215
02:17:06,346 --> 02:17:08,415
opportunity in this ability.

4216
02:17:08,415 --> 02:17:11,985
We want to make sure we say

4217
02:17:11,985 --> 02:17:13,530
thank you for the mill Millett

4218
02:17:13,530 --> 02:17:16,530
million referendum. We want to

4219
02:17:16,957 --> 02:17:19,920
make sure that the firm Free

4220
02:17:19,920 --> 02:17:19,793
Garden Act is looked at

4221
02:17:19,793 --> 02:17:21,628
entirely. But I also want to

4222
02:17:21,628 --> 02:17:23,463
talk about zoning. I want to

4223
02:17:23,463 --> 02:17:24,331
talk about agricultural

4224
02:17:24,331 --> 02:17:26,166
zoning. I want to talk about

4225
02:17:26,166 --> 02:17:29,136
the fact that we are putting

4226
02:17:29,136 --> 02:17:29,870
in new development next to

4227
02:17:29,870 --> 02:17:30,537
argue agricultural zoning. And

4228
02:17:30,537 --> 02:17:34,137
are we ensuring that we are

4229
02:17:34,241 --> 02:17:36,100
keeping our 200 feet?

4230
02:17:36,100 --> 02:17:36,543
>> Guidelines that implemented

4231
02:17:36,543 --> 02:17:38,943
in our Duval County

4232
02:17:39,130 --> 02:17:41,130
regulations and zoning

4233
02:17:41,314 --> 02:17:42,160
guidelines for livestock and

4234
02:17:42,160 --> 02:17:45,160
penned animals. You know, how

4235
02:17:45,285 --> 02:17:45,986
does that change with You

4236
02:17:45,986 --> 02:17:47,855
know, we've got a fairly new

4237
02:17:47,855 --> 02:17:50,855
subdivision. That's next to a

4238
02:17:50,958 --> 02:17:51,692
gun range and outdoor gun

4239
02:17:51,692 --> 02:17:55,292
range. Is that really our best

4240
02:17:55,763 --> 02:17:56,497
use of zoning guidelines? So I

4241
02:17:56,497 --> 02:17:58,432
think that's something that we

4242
02:17:58,432 --> 02:18:00,500
really need to talk about. And

4243
02:18:00,500 --> 02:18:03,500
before we push through things

4244
02:18:04,271 --> 02:18:06,271
like 2026, 0, 3, 6, 5, 2026.

4248
02:18:15,715 --> 02:18:18,652
look and make sure that the

4249
02:18:18,652 --> 02:18:21,255
adjoining areas are are going

4250
02:18:21,255 --> 02:18:21,956

>> Samantha Series address on

4383
02:23:18,786 --> 02:23:19,453
file. I just want to ask a

4384
02:23:19,453 --> 02:23:21,122
couple questions about this

4385
02:23:21,122 --> 02:23:23,257
one because I did look online

4386
02:23:23,257 --> 02:23:24,992
and it doesn't have much

4387
02:23:24,992 --> 02:23:25,626
information. So I was just

4388
02:23:25,626 --> 02:23:26,227
wondering, what are they

4389
02:23:26,227 --> 02:23:29,960
planning to do with the

4390
02:23:29,960 --> 02:23:29,930
section? I know it would be

4391
02:23:29,930 --> 02:23:31,980
nice to have a little bit of

4392
02:23:31,980 --> 02:23:32,990
discussion. I know you guys

4393
02:23:32,990 --> 02:23:32,767
talk about a lot of different

4394
02:23:32,767 --> 02:23:33,801
things up here, but usually

4395
02:23:33,801 --> 02:23:37,304
it's not about rezoning. So if

4396
02:23:37,304 --> 02:23:37,972
you guys could, I don't

4397
02:23:37,972 --> 02:23:39,874
discuss or have the person

4398
02:23:39,874 --> 02:23:41,900
that's requesting this give

4399
02:23:41,900 --> 02:23:44,900
some information because I saw

4400
02:23:44,211 --> 02:23:45,413
all the North Sea packed

4401
02:23:45,413 --> 02:23:48,349
recommend denial. But I see a

4402
02:23:48,349 --> 02:23:49,160
letter or anything about it.

4403
02:23:49,160 --> 02:23:49,650
So it would just love some

4404
02:23:49,650 --> 02:23:50,351
extra information that's

4405
02:23:50,351 --> 02:23:51,585
really odds. And I'm not the

4406
02:23:51,585 --> 02:23:52,319
home 3 minutes. I just want to

4407
02:23:52,319 --> 02:23:54,255
know like what's going on with

4408
02:23:54,255 --> 02:23:54,955

02:26:51,599 --> 02:26:53,999
collapsed. Christmas eve of

4450
02:26:57,505 --> 02:26:58,172
2020. They've made

4451
02:26:58,172 --> 02:27:00,172
arrangements whatsoever to

4452
02:27:01,342 --> 02:27:02,900
increase the bathroom. That

4453
02:27:02,900 --> 02:27:05,446
was last one that fill the

4454
02:27:05,446 --> 02:27:06,147
only thing there. Now is a

4455
02:27:06,147 --> 02:27:09,747
privacy fence which we put up

4456
02:27:10,510 --> 02:27:13,510
on our property. Also, they

4457
02:27:15,256 --> 02:27:18,256
contend. They have 37 right of

4458
02:27:18,893 --> 02:27:21,293
way parking spaces. That

4459
02:27:23,664 --> 02:27:26,868
property. The if you look at

4460
02:27:26,868 --> 02:27:29,737
their map, the parking spaces

4461
02:27:29,737 --> 02:27:30,939

4462
02:27:30,939 --> 02:27:33,708

4463
02:27:33,708 --> 02:27:36,108

4464
02:27:38,145 --> 02:27:39,948
look at, for example, parking

4465
02:27:39,948 --> 02:27:41,816
space, number 30, it's a black

4466
02:27:41,816 --> 02:27:42,483
car and then right on the

4467
02:27:42,483 --> 02:27:44,520
other side of it is a white

4468
02:27:44,520 --> 02:27:46,588
car there. Something in the

4469
02:27:46,588 --> 02:27:50,188
middle. I want to the middle.

4470
02:27:51,927 --> 02:27:52,827

expense. So they're using

4480
02:28:14,582 --> 02:28:16,982
basically areas Patriots cars

4481
02:28:18,319 --> 02:28:21,319
will be to justify adding 50

4482
02:28:23,191 --> 02:28:23,858

been there forever. 40 years.

4532
02:30:55,110 --> 02:30:55,810
We are actually neighborhood

4533
02:30:55,810 --> 02:30:59,410
was built in the late 1940's

4534
02:30:59,747 --> 02:31:00,982
and early 1950's and it's a

4535
02:31:00,982 --> 02:31:02,217
low density residential

4536
02:31:02,217 --> 02:31:02,918
neighborhood. It's a friendly,

4537
02:31:02,918 --> 02:31:03,752
quiet neighborhood with many

4538
02:31:03,752 --> 02:31:06,152
young families and children

4539
02:31:07,220 --> 02:31:08,322
and grandchildren. I would

4540
02:31:08,322 --> 02:31:09,560
like to address the issue of

4541
02:31:09,560 --> 02:31:12,656
point of noise coming from the

4542
02:31:13,995 --> 02:31:15,964
local restaurant. 2017

uses for 5 c it states and I

4546
02:31:22,700 --> 02:31:23,838
quote restaurant. Sean, not

4547
02:31:23,838 --> 02:31:25,106
employee outside amplified

4548
02:31:25,106 --> 02:31:25,607

02:31:28,977 --> 02:31:31,977
given day or evening during

4552
02:31:33,148 --> 02:31:33,781
the week, unquote. One way

4553
02:31:33,781 --> 02:31:35,650
local gets around this by

4554
02:31:35,650 --> 02:31:38,500
providing indoor music. And

4555
02:31:38,921 --> 02:31:40,989
leaving the back door open. So

4556
02:31:40,989 --> 02:31:42,257
that the patrons outside can

4557
02:31:42,257 --> 02:31:42,958
be entertained and we can hear

4558
02:31:42,958 --> 02:31:45,958
it through the close windows

4559
02:31:51,399 --> 02:31:53,135
and in our house. I called the

4560
02:31:53,135 --> 02:31:55,136
I called The Multiple times

4561
02:31:55,136 --> 02:31:56,400
and complained called the

4562
02:31:56,400 --> 02:31:57,500
restaurant and not the police

4563
02:31:57,500 --> 02:31:59,500
non-emergency phone number

4564
02:32:00,675 --> 02:32:03,750
because the attorney, the

4565
02:32:03,745 --> 02:32:06,745
applicant in the 2017. The dea

4566
02:32:08,500 --> 02:32:10,185
told us that. After after the

4567
02:32:10,185 --> 02:32:10,952
meeting to contact him, not

4568
02:32:10,952 --> 02:32:11,653
our city council

4569
02:32:11,653 --> 02:32:13,521
representative. If there are

4570
02:32:13,521 --> 02:32:14,423
any problems with noise

4571
02:32:14,423 --> 02:32:17,225
because the local wants to be

4572
02:32:17,225 --> 02:32:17,892
a good neighbor. That's what

4573
02:32:17,892 --> 02:32:20,695
we were told. And it's not

4574
02:32:20,695 --> 02:32:24,295
been the case. Also in section

4575
02:32:24,332 --> 02:32:26,768
a paragraph e of the permitted

4576
02:32:26,768 --> 02:32:28,870
uses in stick it states and I

4577
02:32:28,870 --> 02:32:29,604
quote again, the restaurant

4578
02:32:29,604 --> 02:32:30,238
hours of operation shall be no

4579
02:32:30,238 --> 02:32:32,907

02:32:32,907 --> 02:32:34,209
given day of the week. No

4581
02:32:34,209 --> 02:32:37,209

4582
02:32:38,450 --> 02:32:40,314
in an outdoor dining. And no

4583
02:32:40,314 --> 02:32:40,949
later than 08:30pm, for

4584
02:32:40,949 --> 02:32:43,818
seeding and quit see end

4585
02:32:43,818 --> 02:32:46,218
quote. They're supposed to

4586
02:32:47,723 --> 02:32:50,723
close the outside by 8.30 This

4587
02:32:50,859 --> 02:32:52,928
is a big problem to the fact

4588
02:32:52,928 --> 02:32:54,996
the 8 for 8.30, curfew is

4589
02:32:54,996 --> 02:32:57,396
seldom observed and often

4590
02:32:58,599 --> 02:33:02,360
patrons are loud up until 9 or

4591
02:33:02,360 --> 02:33:03,838
thereafter. Sometimes. It

4592
02:33:03,838 --> 02:33:06,841
needs to be a full enforced.

4593
02:33:06,841 --> 02:33:08,443
Especially if there's we'll be

4594
02:33:08,443 --> 02:33:10,443
potentially 50 more patrons

4595
02:33:12,280 --> 02:33:15,880
and a full bar. Open till

4596
02:33:17,485 --> 02:33:19,885
midnight. Lastly, I'm asking

4597
02:33:19,921 --> 02:33:20,622
for a deferral for the JUNE

4598
02:33:20,622 --> 02:33:22,590
16th Use the meeting to give

4599
02:33:22,590 --> 02:33:23,992
us an opportunity to to obtain

4600
02:33:23,992 --> 02:33:25,992
additional information. Thank

4601
02:33:28,131 --> 02:33:31,131
you very much. Everybody Maney

4602
02:33:35,971 --> 02:33:36,638
sir. Thank My name Deborah

4603
02:33:36,638 --> 02:33:39,380
Rainey a little bit. 45 62,

4604
02:33:39,400 --> 02:33:42,400
San Jose Boulevard right next

4605
02:33:42,110 --> 02:33:43,311
door to the local. We lived in

4606
02:33:43,311 --> 02:33:45,413
our house for 40 years and

4607
02:33:45,413 --> 02:33:47,248
we've had several changes of

4608
02:33:47,248 --> 02:33:49,648
the Tyson businesses around.

4609
02:33:49,818 --> 02:33:52,187
This been its been good up to

4610
02:33:52,187 --> 02:33:53,221
point? I want to say that I'm

4611
02:33:53,221 --> 02:33:53,923
not opposed to the

4612
02:33:53,923 --> 02:33:55,424
restaurant's existence and I

4613
02:33:55,424 --> 02:33:55,823
appreciate that. The local

4614
02:33:55,823 --> 02:33:57,823
businesses.

4615
02:33:58,426 --> 02:33:59,161
>> Do contribute to the

4616
02:33:59,161 --> 02:34:01,561
community. However, my concern

4617
02:34:02,464 --> 02:34:03,465
is with the scale changes, the

4618
02:34:03,465 --> 02:34:05,233
request of the impact, those

4619
02:34:05,233 --> 02:34:07,269
changes will have the

4620
02:34:07,269 --> 02:34:09,269
surrounding residential

4621
02:34:09,270 --> 02:34:10,872
neighborhood. This property at

4622
02:34:10,872 --> 02:34:11,573
the local is very make. It is

4623
02:34:11,573 --> 02:34:13,973
not surrounded by commercial

4624
02:34:15,143 --> 02:34:17,412
property at all. In fact, it's

4625
02:34:17,412 --> 02:34:18,413
bordered on 3 sides by

4626
02:34:18,413 --> 02:34:19,114
single-family houses. So we

4627
02:34:19,114 --> 02:34:21,984
have had to adjust our lives

4628
02:34:21,984 --> 02:34:24,453
too. Deal with this whole

4629
02:34:24,453 --> 02:34:26,154
situation we experience side

4630
02:34:26,154 --> 02:34:28,554
effects of the restaurant

4631
02:34:29,524 --> 02:34:30,224
every day in a way that most

4632
02:34:30,224 --> 02:34:33,224
customers and visitors do not

4633
02:34:33,595 --> 02:34:34,395
a good example might be one

4634
02:34:34,395 --> 02:34:35,230
day. I was looking at my front

4635
02:34:35,230 --> 02:34:38,230
window and I noticed somebody

4636
02:34:40,102 --> 02:34:41,136
walking my yard. She was draw

4637
02:34:41,136 --> 02:34:42,304
at Wednesday afternoon. 4

4638
02:34:42,304 --> 02:34:45,304
o'clock. She pulled her pants

4639
02:34:45,874 --> 02:34:46,575
down, went to the bathroom in

4640
02:34:46,575 --> 02:34:47,876
my driveway that she bought a

4641
02:34:47,876 --> 02:34:48,576
dress up across the street and

4642
02:34:48,576 --> 02:34:51,179
one of the local employees

4643
02:34:51,179 --> 02:34:52,747
bought her meal to her and she

4644
02:34:52,747 --> 02:34:56,184
left. I called the cops, but

4645
02:34:56,184 --> 02:34:57,860
they didn't get there on time.

4646
02:34:57,860 --> 02:34:57,719
Another diet. I saw somebody

4647
02:34:57,719 --> 02:34:59,888
in the afternoon changing

4648
02:34:59,888 --> 02:35:00,722
clothes in my yard in the

4649
02:35:00,722 --> 02:35:04,159
middle of the day, cars are

4650
02:35:04,159 --> 02:35:05,427
flying by kids in the cars

4651
02:35:05,427 --> 02:35:07,996
that matter. I I want it to

4652
02:35:07,996 --> 02:35:08,697
Excuse me, what are you doing

4653
02:35:08,697 --> 02:35:09,965
Oh, it's ok, I worked at the

4654
02:35:09,965 --> 02:35:11,266
local. It's ok, it's ok, I

4655
02:35:11,266 --> 02:35:14,866
don't think it's ok, I don't

4656
02:35:16,138 --> 02:35:16,805
like it at all. So this this

4657
02:35:16,805 --> 02:35:18,940
this application that that

4658
02:35:18,940 --> 02:35:22,540
you're looking at is more than

4659
02:35:22,778 --> 02:35:23,411
just a request for liquor

4660
02:35:23,411 --> 02:35:24,112
license. It is a request

4661
02:35:24,112 --> 02:35:26,470
increase the intensity of use

4662
02:35:26,470 --> 02:35:28,447
by expanding seating capacity

4663
02:35:29,500 --> 02:35:30,218
allowing full liquor service

4664
02:35:30,218 --> 02:35:32,618
and extending operation hours

4665
02:35:34,322 --> 02:35:34,956
until midnight, midnight. Each

4666
02:35:34,956 --> 02:35:36,224
of those changes has that

4667
02:35:36,224 --> 02:35:36,958
impact. But together, they

4668
02:35:36,958 --> 02:35:38,360
represent a substantial change

4669
02:35:38,360 --> 02:35:40,362
in the scale of the

4670
02:35:40,362 --> 02:35:41,897
restaurant. Then where was

4671
02:35:41,897 --> 02:35:42,631
originally proposed as

4672
02:35:42,631 --> 02:35:44,166
neighbors were concerned about

4673
02:35:44,166 --> 02:35:46,166
the country, increased

4674
02:35:46,201 --> 02:35:47,102
traffic, increased parking

4675
02:35:47,102 --> 02:35:49,370
demand and the effect of the

4676
02:35:49,370 --> 02:35:50,606
late night activities on the

4677
02:35:50,606 --> 02:35:51,306
nearby homes. A midnight

4678
02:35:51,306 --> 02:35:52,700
closing means that customers

4679
02:35:52,700 --> 02:35:54,407
leaving the property property

4680
02:35:54,442 --> 02:35:56,277
later at night. They'll be

4681
02:35:56,277 --> 02:35:58,347
door slamming people talking

4682
02:35:58,347 --> 02:35:59,681
engine starting just all kinds

4683
02:35:59,681 --> 02:36:01,450
of craziness. And these are

4684
02:36:01,450 --> 02:36:02,818
not theoretical concerns.

4685
02:36:02,818 --> 02:36:03,852
They're real. These are the

4686
02:36:03,852 --> 02:36:05,487
kind of impacts that we've had

4687
02:36:05,487 --> 02:36:08,560
to all deal with up to this

4688
02:36:08,560 --> 02:36:09,124
point. I would ask for you to

4689
02:36:09,124 --> 02:36:12,124
consider that your green to

4690
02:36:13,161 --> 02:36:14,960
put in 120 seat restaurant in

4691
02:36:14,960 --> 02:36:16,496
a restaurant that has 26

4692
02:36:17,433 --> 02:36:18,100
parking spots. 26 anybody

4693
02:36:18,100 --> 02:36:21,537
else? That was park has to

4694
02:36:21,537 --> 02:36:23,705
cross a very busy road. This

4695
02:36:23,705 --> 02:36:26,705
is incompatible with what was

4696
02:36:27,610 --> 02:36:28,543
we looking at years ago and I

4697
02:36:28,543 --> 02:36:29,244
think compatibility with

4698
02:36:29,244 --> 02:36:31,644
existing neighborhoods is an

4699
02:36:31,714 --> 02:36:33,714
important planning principle.

4700
02:36:35,417 --> 02:36:36,118
i do believe proposal pushes

4701
02:36:36,118 --> 02:36:37,385
beside me on was appropriate

4702
02:36:37,385 --> 02:36:40,985
for that location. MAY like At

4703
02:36:41,923 --> 02:36:44,590
no more speaker cards. Public

4704
02:36:44,590 --> 02:36:44,859
hearing is close and your

4705
02:36:44,859 --> 02:36:45,561
Councilmember, MISTER Vice

4706
02:36:45,561 --> 02:36:46,228
PRESIDENT Elect Carly's, you

4707
02:36:46,228 --> 02:36:47,195
would like to meet everyone

4708
02:36:47,195 --> 02:36:47,696
who just spoke on this issue

4709
02:36:47,696 --> 02:36:49,696
in

4710
02:36:51,566 --> 02:36:52,935
>> Bob Johnson, Green room.

4711
02:36:52,935 --> 02:36:54,935
I'm 27 2026, 3, 7, 4 have one

4712
02:36:55,704 --> 02:36:56,438
Speaker card. Cheney, Travis

4713
02:36:56,438 --> 02:36:58,106
Leonard does not wish to speak

4714
02:36:58,106 --> 02:36:59,975
but opposes this ordinance.

4715
02:36:59,975 --> 02:37:02,110
>> There were public hearing

4716
02:37:02,110 --> 02:37:02,745
is closed. Just a reminder to

4717
02:37:02,745 --> 02:37:04,679
the colleagues. We have a

4718
02:37:04,679 --> 02:37:05,314
quorum right now.

4719
02:37:05,314 --> 02:37:07,714
>> Barely at 14 with MR.

4720
02:37:08,830 --> 02:37:08,884
Carlucci in the Green Room

4721
02:37:08,884 --> 02:37:11,453
once MR. Lane and exits for a

4722
02:37:11,453 --> 02:37:12,287
personal matter. We will be

4723
02:37:12,287 --> 02:37:14,189
locked in with 14. So anyone

4724
02:37:14,189 --> 02:37:15,223
that's get up, we'll have to

4725
02:37:15,223 --> 02:37:15,890
shut down pause until we have

4726
02:37:15,890 --> 02:37:18,193
a car. Just a heads up for

4727
02:37:18,193 --> 02:37:19,428
everybody.

4728
02:37:19,428 --> 02:37:21,828
>> Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT.

4729
02:37:22,364 --> 02:37:23,131
I'm 28 2026, 3, 7, 6, I have 2

4730
02:37:23,131 --> 02:37:25,600
speaker cards. MR. Does not

4731
02:37:25,600 --> 02:37:26,268
wish to speak but opposes MR.

4732
02:37:26,268 --> 02:37:27,903
Cheney, Travis Leonard does

4733
02:37:27,903 --> 02:37:31,503
wish to speak. Among them a

4734
02:37:38,213 --> 02:37:39,848
slider.

4735
02:37:39,848 --> 02:37:42,848
>> I'm sure I'm sorry. Just

4736
02:37:44,753 --> 02:37:46,550
trying to get my kid. My

4737
02:37:46,550 --> 02:37:46,789
evening. City councilmembers

4738
02:37:46,789 --> 02:37:47,656
made to try to slander my

4739
02:37:47,656 --> 02:37:48,924
addresses on file. So I do

4740
02:37:48,924 --> 02:37:50,924
tentatively support this

4741
02:37:53,950 --> 02:37:54,129
>> Site. Was concerned about

4742
02:37:54,129 --> 02:37:56,310
language in the original Bill.

4743
02:37:56,310 --> 02:37:56,765
I'm assuming it's going to be

4744
02:37:56,765 --> 02:37:59,765
updated. But for instance, on

4745
02:38:02,637 --> 02:38:03,472
Page 3 line, 15 through 17

4746
02:38:03,472 --> 02:38:04,172
there, something or moved but

4747
02:38:04,172 --> 02:38:07,172
isn't a reserved. Whereas if

4748
02:38:08,577 --> 02:38:09,411
you look on Page 3 lines.

4749
02:38:09,411 --> 02:38:10,111
>> 28 through 30 has reserved

4750
02:38:10,111 --> 02:38:12,114
in that language is removed.

4751
02:38:12,114 --> 02:38:14,514
This is relation to

4752
02:38:16,180 --> 02:38:16,685
>> permissible uses by

4753
02:38:16,685 --> 02:38:17,419
exception. I'm assuming the

4754
02:38:17,419 --> 02:38:18,120
reserved means that additional

4755
02:38:18,120 --> 02:38:20,222
language is going to be added

4756
02:38:20,222 --> 02:38:20,923
to the bill too. Get more

4757
02:38:20,923 --> 02:38:23,923
details on what exactly would

4758
02:38:25,627 --> 02:38:26,428
be. Permissible uses by

4759
02:38:26,428 --> 02:38:27,950
exception. But in case that

4760
02:38:27,950 --> 02:38:29,264
language isn't going to be

4761
02:38:29,264 --> 02:38:33,368
out. And I would like to know

4762
02:38:33,368 --> 02:38:34,403
some examples of what that

4763
02:38:34,403 --> 02:38:35,700
classification would and or

4764
02:38:35,700 --> 02:38:38,670
what the plan for the City

4765
02:38:39,741 --> 02:38:40,475
Council is to address that.

4766
02:38:40,475 --> 02:38:42,978
>> My thought on this is I had

4767
02:38:42,978 --> 02:38:44,713
assumed saw this come through

4768
02:38:44,713 --> 02:38:45,181
that this was about adding in

4769
02:38:45,181 --> 02:38:45,848
some additional

4770
02:38:45,848 --> 02:38:48,248
classifications. I know the

4771
02:38:48,551 --> 02:38:49,251
last.

4772
02:38:49,251 --> 02:38:49,985
>> Fuel use the meetings and

4773
02:38:49,985 --> 02:38:51,921
city council meetings. There's

4774
02:38:51,921 --> 02:38:52,988
been some contention around

4775
02:38:52,988 --> 02:38:55,388
low density residential and

4776
02:38:57,493 --> 02:38:59,940
medium resident presidential

4777
02:38:59,940 --> 02:38:59,795
apology, medium density

4778
02:38:59,795 --> 02:39:02,795
residential on that was very

4779
02:39:03,432 --> 02:39:03,965
hard for some reason. And I

4780
02:39:03,965 --> 02:39:04,667
believe there was a

4781
02:39:04,667 --> 02:39:06,668
recommendation to add in like

4782
02:39:06,668 --> 02:39:07,335
a low medium to address where

4783
02:39:07,335 --> 02:39:10,935
there might be some gaps in

4784
02:39:10,940 --> 02:39:13,742
the classification. I was just

4785
02:39:13,742 --> 02:39:14,442
curious if that is being

4786
02:39:14,442 --> 02:39:17,442
discussed with No, thank you

4787
02:39:17,879 --> 02:39:20,279
for some of the

4788
02:39:20,782 --> 02:39:21,484
>> waving I've seen as the

4789
02:39:21,484 --> 02:39:22,151
recommended, be bringing that

4790
02:39:22,151 --> 02:39:22,818
into the discussions we are

4791
02:39:22,818 --> 02:39:25,218
making updates if possible.

4792
02:39:25,254 --> 02:39:26,255
Like I said, I know it's been

4793
02:39:26,255 --> 02:39:27,790
some contention, especially

4794
02:39:27,790 --> 02:39:28,490
you see about how some things

4795
02:39:28,490 --> 02:39:29,191
are classified. So just as a

4796
02:39:29,191 --> 02:39:30,525
constituent that cares about

4797
02:39:30,525 --> 02:39:32,227
development, the city, that's

4798
02:39:32,227 --> 02:39:32,928
the recommendation. So thank

4799
02:39:32,928 --> 02:39:33,996
you for your time. Will take

4800
02:39:33,996 --> 02:39:35,996
if you want.

4801
02:39:37,366 --> 02:39:37,999
>> Thank you. Have them. Are

4802
02:39:37,999 --> 02:39:38,667
speaker cards this public

4803
02:39:38,667 --> 02:39:40,268
hearing is closed and is a

4804
02:39:40,268 --> 02:39:42,668
public hearing will be 6. 23.

4805
02:39:43,205 --> 02:39:44,273
26. I'm 29. 2026, 3, 9, 5. I

4806
02:39:44,273 --> 02:39:46,509
have no speaker cards. Public

4807
02:39:46,509 --> 02:39:48,310
hearings closed. I read the

4808
02:39:48,310 --> 02:39:49,440
amendment. Have a motion

4809
02:39:49,440 --> 02:39:49,745
second on the amendment all in

4810
02:39:49,745 --> 02:39:51,347
favor. The amendment signify

4811
02:39:51,347 --> 02:39:52,470
by saying Aye, aye. Aye.

4812
02:39:52,470 --> 02:39:55,470
>> We've got to pose. Someone

4813
02:39:58,200 --> 02:39:58,721
stood up. All right. Saying we

4814
02:39:58,721 --> 02:40:02,921
need you to sit before we can

4815
02:40:08,697 --> 02:40:09,898

I'm for nearly 18 years.

4841
02:41:02,510 --> 02:41:04,587
Perfect. The years is probably

02:41:04,587 --> 02:41:05,854
serve. Murray Hill community

4843
02:41:05,854 --> 02:41:07,156
during that time we've grown

4844
02:41:07,156 --> 02:41:09,158

4846
02:41:10,960 --> 02:41:12,195
people. We're grateful for the

4847
02:41:12,195 --> 02:41:12,862
support we received from our

4848
02:41:12,862 --> 02:41:14,630
customers. Neighbors in the

4849
02:41:14,630 --> 02:41:15,297
community over the years we

4850
02:41:15,297 --> 02:41:16,331
are requesting your support

4851
02:41:16,331 --> 02:41:19,331
for zoning exception as it

4852
02:41:20,168 --> 02:41:20,869

4853
02:41:20,869 --> 02:41:21,570
investing in our business and

4854
02:41:21,570 --> 02:41:23,239

4855
02:41:23,239 --> 02:41:25,441

02:41:25,441 --> 02:41:26,575
have supported us for nearly 2

4857
02:41:26,575 --> 02:41:28,444
decades. This exception was to

4858
02:41:28,444 --> 02:41:29,845
create additional point

4859
02:41:29,845 --> 02:41:30,413
opportunities allowing us to

4860
02:41:30,413 --> 02:41:31,914
add jobs and continue

4861
02:41:31,914 --> 02:41:33,849
contributing to the local

4862
02:41:33,849 --> 02:41:35,384
economy. We believe this

4863
02:41:35,384 --> 02:41:36,520
project represents a positive

4864
02:41:36,520 --> 02:41:36,985
impact in both our business

4865
02:41:36,985 --> 02:41:37,987
and the Mario community that

4866
02:41:37,987 --> 02:41:39,888
we serve. Thank you for your

4867
02:41:39,888 --> 02:41:40,756
time consideration and

4868
02:41:40,756 --> 02:41:41,357

>> Thank you, sir. In writing

4874
02:41:48,297 --> 02:41:51,297
supported, but they do not

4875
02:41:51,434 --> 02:41:52,634
wish to speak. I've no parts

4876
02:41:52,634 --> 02:41:54,300
public hearing is closed. I

4877
02:41:54,300 --> 02:41:56,300
one, 2026, 4, 4, speaker card

4878
02:41:58,574 --> 02:41:59,242

4879
02:41:59,242 --> 02:42:02,242

Samantha Series.

4881
02:42:04,460 --> 02:42:05,714
>> We have this year's address

4882
02:42:05,714 --> 02:42:06,382
on file again. I just wanted

4883
02:42:06,382 --> 02:42:07,517
to ask him questions. Know

4884
02:42:07,517 --> 02:42:10,185
we're not going discuss this

4885
02:42:10,185 --> 02:42:11,487
right now, but I think maybe

4886
02:42:11,487 --> 02:42:12,187
when you guys it does come in

4887
02:42:12,187 --> 02:42:12,888
front of you that you want to

4888
02:42:12,888 --> 02:42:15,240
vote and want to speak about

4889
02:42:15,240 --> 02:42:16,920
it. I think it's just

4890
02:42:16,920 --> 02:42:17,860
important to understand what's

4891
02:42:17,860 --> 02:42:18,794
going on here. Again, I looked

4892
02:42:18,794 --> 02:42:20,563
online, can't find them much

4893
02:42:20,563 --> 02:42:22,731
information about what they're

4894
02:42:22,731 --> 02:42:25,468
actually doing. So I think.

4895
02:42:25,468 --> 02:42:26,202
>> Maybe if we you know, it.

4896
02:42:26,202 --> 02:42:27,803
>> Just couple questions when

4897
02:42:27,803 --> 02:42:28,503
they come up here when the

4898
02:42:28,503 --> 02:42:30,903
representative does maybe no

4899
02:42:32,441 --> 02:42:33,609
use the I s just to keep in

4900
02:42:33,609 --> 02:42:34,343
mind like what is going on

4901
02:42:34,343 --> 02:42:36,743
here. Like one required,

4902
02:42:38,147 --> 02:42:40,249
treated your trees. The you

4903
02:42:40,249 --> 02:42:41,316
know, the landscaping down to

4904
02:42:41,316 --> 02:42:41,984
0. It's just kind of weird. So

4905
02:42:41,984 --> 02:42:44,453
I just want to know what's

4906
02:42:44,453 --> 02:42:46,853
going on. Thank you.

4907
02:42:48,291 --> 02:42:48,958
>> Thank you. Have speaker

4908
02:42:48,958 --> 02:42:51,358

02:42:59,368 --> 02:43:00,200

4914
02:43:00,200 --> 02:43:02,200

4916
02:43:06,876 --> 02:43:07,610
>> Good Evening. City

4917
02:43:07,610 --> 02:43:10,100
COUNCILMAN Up Travis addresses

4918
02:43:10,450 --> 02:43:12,215
on file. So I do support this

4919
02:43:12,215 --> 02:43:13,249
ordinance the increase is

4920
02:43:13,249 --> 02:43:14,383
valid and in line with the

4921
02:43:14,383 --> 02:43:15,351
statement that this amendment

4922
02:43:15,351 --> 02:43:15,952
is necessary to accommodate

4923
02:43:15,952 --> 02:43:17,720
the rising cost of new

4924
02:43:17,720 --> 02:43:18,620
construction projects and to

4925
02:43:18,620 --> 02:43:20,289
expand availability,

4926
02:43:20,289 --> 02:43:22,289
affordable residential units.

4927
02:43:22,959 --> 02:43:26,295
I would also request that this

4928
02:43:26,295 --> 02:43:27,960
council look at affordability

4929
02:43:27,960 --> 02:43:28,497
in our city. We are continue

4930
02:43:28,497 --> 02:43:31,400
to see the housing costs rise

4931
02:43:31,400 --> 02:43:32,769
and it is affecting not just

4932
02:43:32,769 --> 02:43:34,570
low-income but incomes across

4933
02:43:34,570 --> 02:43:35,471
the spectrum. So that's really

4934
02:43:35,471 --> 02:43:36,172
my only request with this.

4935
02:43:36,172 --> 02:43:37,506
Like I said, I didn't support

4936
02:43:37,506 --> 02:43:37,806
it and I hope it goes Thank

4937
02:43:37,806 --> 02:43:38,408

4938
02:43:38,408 --> 02:43:40,610

One Speaker Card MR. Journey

4950

4951
02:44:07,336 --> 02:44:09,271
not check whether he supports

4952
02:44:09,271 --> 02:44:11,407
or opposes this ordinance

4953
02:44:11,407 --> 02:44:12,341

one more Speaker, MISTER

4955
02:44:13,750 --> 02:44:14,877

speak on this one.

4960
02:44:24,920 --> 02:44:26,321
>> I will be quick. I know we

02:44:26,321 --> 02:44:27,230
have a lot to go through

4962
02:44:27,230 --> 02:44:29,259
tonight. I don't get to come

4963
02:44:29,259 --> 02:44:30,125

4964
02:44:30,125 --> 02:44:30,727
in this case I'm trying to be

4965
02:44:30,727 --> 02:44:31,960
more proactive even at

4966
02:44:31,960 --> 02:44:32,562

councilmember for introducing

02:44:39,969 --> 02:44:41,303

4973
02:44:41,303 --> 02:44:42,338
great opportunity for our

4974
02:44:42,338 --> 02:44:43,539

5108
02:49:43,206 --> 02:49:44,173
opposed. The concern is what I

5109
02:49:44,173 --> 02:49:45,408
brought up in general comments

5110
02:49:45,408 --> 02:49:48,311
that we're doing a lot of

5111
02:49:48,311 --> 02:49:50,311
development and agricultural

5112
02:49:50,680 --> 02:49:52,482
areas and areas that are zoned

5113
02:49:52,482 --> 02:49:53,182
one way. And then the

5114
02:49:53,182 --> 02:49:55,582
development will. But up

5115
02:49:56,185 --> 02:49:58,585
against these properties. And

5116
02:49:58,922 --> 02:50:03,122
how does that work? This is a

5117
02:50:03,659 --> 02:50:06,659
future land use map of 112

5118
02:50:07,631 --> 02:50:08,331
acres. We spent about 45

5119
02:50:08,331 --> 02:50:11,368
minutes in cpac last night to

5120
02:50:11,368 --> 02:50:12,680
talk about 19 acres that are

5121
02:50:12,680 --> 02:50:15,680
being developed and our area.

5122
02:50:17,700 --> 02:50:19,576
So we want I want. I feel like

5123
02:50:19,576 --> 02:50:20,576
education and I talk about

5124
02:50:20,576 --> 02:50:23,479
this often education of the

5125
02:50:23,479 --> 02:50:24,213
zoning education of how

5126
02:50:24,213 --> 02:50:28,413
there's a push back on some of

5127
02:50:28,885 --> 02:50:29,986
the zoning. I know the land

5128
02:50:29,986 --> 02:50:30,653
use and zoning meetings, the

5129
02:50:30,653 --> 02:50:32,855
planning meetings. I know

5130
02:50:32,855 --> 02:50:34,690
those are all available to our

5131
02:50:34,690 --> 02:50:36,326
constituents into the.

5132
02:50:36,326 --> 02:50:38,726
>> To the people of

5133
02:50:41,298 --> 02:50:42,320
Jacksonville, but it's a very

5134
02:50:42,320 --> 02:50:44,432
>> convoluted process for most

5135
02:50:44,634 --> 02:50:47,634
people to understand what this

5136
02:50:47,971 --> 02:50:49,940
all means. And I think. You

5137
02:50:49,940 --> 02:50:52,275
know, if there was some more

5138
02:50:52,275 --> 02:50:53,977
talk about how we try to push

5139
02:50:53,977 --> 02:50:54,677
back on the density, how we

5140
02:50:54,677 --> 02:50:56,579
try to poach pushback on how

5141
02:50:56,579 --> 02:50:57,480
many houses per acre, how we

5142
02:50:57,480 --> 02:51:01,800
try to push back and tying

5143
02:51:02,485 --> 02:51:04,253
into, you know, public works

5144
02:51:04,253 --> 02:51:04,888
that we would have a better

5145
02:51:04,888 --> 02:51:07,288
opportunity and a better

5146
02:51:07,290 --> 02:51:09,425
understanding of things. So I

5147
02:51:09,425 --> 02:51:10,293
just you know, it's not that I

5148
02:51:10,293 --> 02:51:13,893
oppose the growth and I'm glad

5149
02:51:15,198 --> 02:51:15,999
to see this is a future use

5150
02:51:15,999 --> 02:51:16,867
but I just want to make sure

5151
02:51:16,867 --> 02:51:19,267
that we're doing development

5152
02:51:20,870 --> 02:51:21,571
of Jacksonville. All of

5153
02:51:21,571 --> 02:51:23,971

5154

tension and thoughtfulness,

5155
02:51:26,510 --> 02:51:27,210
not just to develop something,

5156
02:51:27,210 --> 02:51:29,345
especially when we don't have

5157
02:51:29,345 --> 02:51:30,513
the infrastructure in place.

5158
02:51:30,513 --> 02:51:33,250

I rise to express the wishes

5190
02:52:37,281 --> 02:52:39,249
of the Southwest. Pick, the

5191
02:52:39,249 --> 02:52:42,249
cpac in which this particular

5192
02:52:43,954 --> 02:52:46,220
zoning is also under and the

5193
02:52:46,220 --> 02:52:46,723
desire that they oppose this

5194
02:52:46,723 --> 02:52:47,991
application based on the fact

5195
02:52:47,991 --> 02:52:50,193
that they have not seen any

5196
02:52:50,193 --> 02:52:52,620
environmental impact study on

5197
02:52:52,620 --> 02:52:52,762
the location and they are can

5198
02:52:52,762 --> 02:52:55,665
they continue to be concerned

5199
02:52:55,665 --> 02:52:56,533
about traffic in the area that

5200
02:52:56,533 --> 02:52:58,634
it is known to be a high

5201
02:52:58,634 --> 02:52:59,603
traffic area and adding more

5202
02:52:59,603 --> 02:53:02,405
would cause more accidents and

5203
02:53:02,405 --> 02:53:04,741
possibly more fatalities. And

5204
02:53:04,741 --> 02:53:05,742
they continue to detection to

5205
02:53:05,742 --> 02:53:07,144
the concerned concerning the

5206
02:53:07,144 --> 02:53:08,679
total number and size of the

5207
02:53:08,679 --> 02:53:11,790
requested lot. The estimated

5208
02:53:12,382 --> 02:53:13,830
500 plus residences would

5209
02:53:13,830 --> 02:53:14,251
potentially an estimated 600

5210
02:53:14,251 --> 02:53:16,190

02:53:16,190 --> 02:53:19,389

And so with this being said, I

5215
02:53:24,194 --> 02:53:24,861

5422
03:01:25,509 --> 03:01:26,176
PRESIDENT Elect Howland. Thank

5423
03:01:26,176 --> 03:01:26,877
you, MR. PRESIDENT know we

5 plus, would you explain the

5427
03:01:32,750 --> 03:01:33,417
finance sub city, please?

5428
03:01:33,417 --> 03:01:35,817
>> Yes, through the council

5429
03:01:36,854 --> 03:01:38,222
PRESIDENT To the council, this

5430
03:01:38,222 --> 03:01:39,356

5431
03:01:39,356 --> 03:01:40,900
neighborhood substitute with a

5432
03:01:40,900 --> 03:01:42,893
few additional items. So we'll

5433
03:01:42,893 --> 03:01:43,494
go through both the

5434
03:01:43,494 --> 03:01:44,161

03:01:44,161 --> 03:01:44,795
attached, a revised exhibit

5436
03:01:44,795 --> 03:01:47,298
one, which was the bt to

5437
03:01:47,298 --> 03:01:48,532
correct an account code. It

5438
03:01:48,532 --> 03:01:50,330
included details that would be

5439
03:01:50,330 --> 03:01:50,868
taken on the on the steps

5440
03:01:50,868 --> 03:01:53,638
taken by the city and making a

5441
03:01:53,638 --> 03:01:54,472
determination of necessity and

5442
03:01:54,472 --> 03:01:56,440
place. The applicable survey

5443
03:01:56,440 --> 03:01:58,476
studies and reports revised on

5444
03:01:58,476 --> 03:01:59,760
file and also attached a

5445
03:01:59,760 --> 03:02:01,476
listing of the affected

5446
03:02:02,513 --> 03:02:03,213
properties as a new exhibit 5,

5447
03:02:03,213 --> 03:02:03,914
the finance substitute

5448
03:02:03,914 --> 03:02:06,914
included all of those items.

5449
03:02:08,118 --> 03:02:10,421
And it also removed language

5450
03:02:10,421 --> 03:02:11,880
authorizing the office of

5451
03:02:11,880 --> 03:02:11,789
General counsel to initiate

5452
03:02:11,789 --> 03:02:13,789
condemnation proceedings and

5453
03:02:14,258 --> 03:02:14,925
declarations of taking and

5454
03:02:14,925 --> 03:02:15,659
included language requiring

5455
03:02:15,659 --> 03:02:17,895
City Council approval prior to

5456
03:02:17,895 --> 03:02:18,929
filing a petition for

5457
03:02:18,929 --> 03:02:19,630
condemnation and attached a

5458
03:02:19,630 --> 03:02:21,865
revised exhibit 3, which was

5459
03:02:21,865 --> 03:02:24,100
the parcel map to reflect the

5460
03:02:24,100 --> 03:02:26,336
removal of parcel one from the

5461
03:02:26,336 --> 03:02:27,137

5462
03:02:27,137 --> 03:02:28,873
exhibit 5. The parcel is to

5463
03:02:28,873 --> 03:02:29,874

5464
03:02:29,874 --> 03:02:32,443
one. Want to update the Park

5465
03:02:32,443 --> 03:02:33,143
Project, personal information

03:02:33,143 --> 03:02:36,580

parcel one from the list of

5471
03:02:41,819 --> 03:02:42,520
properties. Ok, thank you

5472
03:02:42,520 --> 03:02:44,388
through the PRESIDENT Because

5473
03:02:44,388 --> 03:02:45,823
that finance substitute.

5474
03:02:45,823 --> 03:02:46,690
>> Effectively makes the city

5475
03:02:46,690 --> 03:02:49,690
come back to us before

5476
03:02:50,561 --> 03:02:51,596
starting domain proceedings. 4

5477
03:02:51,596 --> 03:02:53,564
city Council will have to

5478
03:02:53,564 --> 03:02:54,265
approve them before it starts.

5479
03:02:54,265 --> 03:02:54,798
I will support substitute all

5480
03:02:54,798 --> 03:02:57,198
support the bill as

5481
03:02:57,734 --> 03:02:58,369
substitute. Thank you. All

5482
03:02:58,369 --> 03:02:58,969
right. No one else in the

5483
03:02:58,969 --> 03:03:00,938
queue all in favor. The

5484
03:03:00,938 --> 03:03:01,538
substitute. Actually, we had a

5485
03:03:01,538 --> 03:03:03,538
councilmember Morrow on

5486
03:03:08,112 --> 03:03:08,946
substitute. Thank you, MR.

5487
03:03:08,946 --> 03:03:09,547
PRESIDENT the through the

5488
03:03:09,547 --> 03:03:11,947
chair to America's the

5489
03:03:15,452 --> 03:03:17,452
populace.

5490
03:03:17,521 --> 03:03:18,322
>> I'm pretty sure it's legal.

5491
03:03:18,322 --> 03:03:19,220
It would not be within the

5492
03:03:19,220 --> 03:03:22,220
substitute. But what is the

5493
03:03:22,426 --> 03:03:24,426
legal standing?

5494
03:03:26,263 --> 03:03:26,964
>> For that process that?

5495
03:03:26,964 --> 03:03:28,465
>> Before the government can

5496
03:03:28,465 --> 03:03:29,132
file eminent domain. It has to

5497
03:03:29,132 --> 03:03:31,532
come back. The legislative

5498
03:03:33,804 --> 03:03:35,804
body.

5499
03:03:36,640 --> 03:03:37,308
>> Through the PRESIDENT To

5500
03:03:37,308 --> 03:03:38,420
Councilmember Morrow. So as

5501
03:03:38,420 --> 03:03:40,420
originally proposed, the

5502
03:03:41,746 --> 03:03:42,446
legislation would authorize

5503
03:03:42,446 --> 03:03:43,114
steps of the process subject

5504
03:03:43,114 --> 03:03:45,514
to certain guardrails. With

5505
03:03:45,883 --> 03:03:46,584
respect to how much the city

5506
03:03:46,584 --> 03:03:48,952
could purchase an interest in

5507
03:03:48,952 --> 03:03:51,952
property forward cetera. So it

5508
03:03:53,900 --> 03:03:55,359
doesn't it's not. Legally

5509
03:03:55,359 --> 03:03:56,994
affecting it. The overall

5510
03:03:56,994 --> 03:03:58,362
condemnation processes

5511
03:03:58,362 --> 03:03:59,263
outlined in statute. What he's

5512
03:03:59,263 --> 03:04:00,832
saying is the council is not

5513
03:04:00,832 --> 03:04:01,933
granting full authority to

5514
03:04:01,933 --> 03:04:03,267
take a property through the

5515
03:04:03,267 --> 03:04:05,436
entire process. Up to the

5516
03:04:05,436 --> 03:04:07,605
filing of the condemnation

5517
03:04:07,605 --> 03:04:08,272
action it's requiring before

5518
03:04:08,272 --> 03:04:09,440
that last step that it come

5519
03:04:09,440 --> 03:04:10,410
back to city council. So there

5520
03:04:10,410 --> 03:04:11,410
was some discussion in

5521
03:04:11,410 --> 03:04:13,177
committees with respect to how

5522
03:04:13,177 --> 03:04:16,177
that might affect the timing

5523
03:04:18,215 --> 03:04:18,816
of different things reactions

5524
03:04:18,816 --> 03:04:19,517
are responses from the

5525
03:04:19,517 --> 03:04:21,917
property owners. But legally,

5526
03:04:23,530 --> 03:04:24,550
it's not. It's not that you're

5527
03:04:24,550 --> 03:04:24,789
not allowed to do that. It's

5528
03:04:24,789 --> 03:04:26,157
just you're putting a

5529
03:04:26,157 --> 03:04:26,824
condition on that final step

5530
03:04:26,824 --> 03:04:28,359
that it has to come to get

5531
03:04:28,359 --> 03:04:31,195
back to council one more time

5532
03:04:31,195 --> 03:04:32,196
rather than giving them full

5533
03:04:32,196 --> 03:04:32,796
legal capacity to go all the

5534
03:04:32,796 --> 03:04:35,196
way through the process

5535
03:04:35,633 --> 03:04:36,734

03:13:53,358 --> 03:13:54,326
have to move the floor

5763
03:13:54,326 --> 03:13:55,927

03:14:16,881 --> 03:14:17,615
emergency, which is why we're

5778
03:14:17,615 --> 03:14:18,282

5779
03:14:18,282 --> 03:14:20,585

5780
03:14:20,585 --> 03:14:22,354

03:14:25,390 --> 03:14:26,240
in the nature of the emergency

5784

5787
03:14:30,995 --> 03:14:32,230
And the intent is to have the

5788
03:14:32,230 --> 03:14:32,931
council act upon the

5789
03:14:32,931 --> 03:14:33,599

before it.

5808
03:15:06,531 --> 03:15:07,232
>> Absolutely, DR. Johnson has

5809
03:15:07,232 --> 03:15:09,232

PRESIDENT, I rise to support

5813
03:15:15,441 --> 03:15:16,108
this legislation. And I I'm so

5814
03:15:16,108 --> 03:15:19,770
thankful to kind of mileage

5815
03:15:19,770 --> 03:15:19,778
for putting this forward and

5816
03:15:19,778 --> 03:15:21,613
for reunification month what

5817
03:15:21,613 --> 03:15:23,481
it is Dr saying to the chance

5818
03:15:23,481 --> 03:15:24,316
the PRESIDENT. It's when

5819
03:15:24,316 --> 03:15:25,500
parents are away from the

5820
03:15:25,500 --> 03:15:27,352
children, whether it be to the

5821
03:15:27,352 --> 03:15:28,530
foster care system and they've

5822
03:15:28,530 --> 03:15:28,720
had their children taken away

5823
03:15:28,720 --> 03:15:30,155
from them or what have you.

5824
03:15:30,155 --> 03:15:31,456
This is this month that

5825
03:15:31,456 --> 03:15:32,570
they're using JUNE is the

5826
03:15:32,570 --> 03:15:34,457
month to reunify those

5827
03:15:35,360 --> 03:15:36,762
families back together. And so

5828
03:15:36,762 --> 03:15:37,529
it's something that nationally

5829
03:15:37,529 --> 03:15:38,230
organizations like of Children

5830
03:15:38,230 --> 03:15:41,230
and Family Services, Boys and

5831
03:15:41,433 --> 03:15:43,268
Girls Club work to help bring

5832
03:15:43,268 --> 03:15:43,968
these families together. So I

5833
03:15:43,968 --> 03:15:44,637
think it's really important.

5834
03:15:44,637 --> 03:15:45,371

03:18:12,884 --> 03:18:14,352
schools. Thank you Council for

5895
03:18:14,352 --> 03:18:15,187
honoring them. It was a

5896
03:18:15,187 --> 03:18:15,754
beautiful event, a wonderful

5897
03:18:15,754 --> 03:18:17,255
mask and a wonderful

5898
03:18:17,255 --> 03:18:18,357
reception. So thank you for

5899
03:18:18,357 --> 03:18:20,593
that. And last but not least i

5900
03:18:20,593 --> 03:18:24,193
want to thank you for honoring

5901
03:18:24,630 --> 03:18:25,297
I-four voting for the summer

5902
03:18:25,297 --> 03:18:25,998
youth experience that we're

5903
03:18:25,998 --> 03:18:26,665
having. It's the kind of one

5904
03:18:26,665 --> 03:18:27,566
of a kind thing that we're

5905
03:18:27,566 --> 03:18:29,267
doing at Bradley Park on the

5906
03:18:29,267 --> 03:18:31,337
West side. There are no kind

5907
03:18:31,337 --> 03:18:34,439
of things like that. When I

5908
03:18:34,439 --> 03:18:35,107
saw the teen takeovers in how

5909
03:18:35,107 --> 03:18:37,576
teens are taking over malls

5910
03:18:37,576 --> 03:18:38,677
and other stuff. I was a

5911
03:18:38,677 --> 03:18:39,912
member of something called the

5912
03:18:39,912 --> 03:18:40,845
mayor's team volunteers back

5913
03:18:40,845 --> 03:18:41,546
in the day under former mayor

5914
03:18:41,546 --> 03:18:43,615
time, Missouri. The PRESIDENT

5915
03:18:43,615 --> 03:18:45,684
Of that group. And I'm like,

5916
03:18:45,684 --> 03:18:46,719
what can I do? So I used the

5917
03:18:46,719 --> 03:18:48,653
cba funding to create this

5918
03:18:48,653 --> 03:18:50,653
summer youth experience

5919
03:18:50,823 --> 03:18:52,591
program. The younger youth

5920
03:18:52,591 --> 03:18:53,325
will be able to go into

5921
03:18:53,325 --> 03:18:54,920
experience that through with

5922
03:18:54,920 --> 03:18:56,920
steam Science, technology,

5923
03:18:56,528 --> 03:18:57,563
engineering, arts, math, and

5924
03:18:57,563 --> 03:18:59,264
then the older kids will be

5925
03:18:59,264 --> 03:19:02,670
like the camp counselors. So

5926
03:19:02,670 --> 03:19:03,268
thank you for voting for that.

5927
03:19:03,268 --> 03:19:05,805
It's powered by the stadium of

5928
03:19:05,805 --> 03:19:07,500
the future that the group over

5929
03:19:07,500 --> 03:19:07,906
with the team has wrapped

5930
03:19:07,906 --> 03:19:08,674
their arms around this

5931
03:19:08,674 --> 03:19:09,408
program. So I look forward to

5932
03:19:09,408 --> 03:19:12,611
it. You just voted for tonight

5933
03:19:12,611 --> 03:19:13,345
and I cannot thank you enough

5934
03:19:13,345 --> 03:19:14,790
for empowering young people in

5935
03:19:14,790 --> 03:19:14,680
the West side so that they can

5936
03:19:14,680 --> 03:19:15,280
be the best versions of

5937
03:19:15,280 --> 03:19:17,280
themselves. Thank you.

5938
03:19:18,184 --> 03:19:20,190
Council. All right. Thanks,

5939
03:19:20,190 --> 03:19:20,953
Jack Johnson, PRESIDENT Elect

5940
03:19:20,953 --> 03:19:22,154
Talent.

5941
03:19:22,154 --> 03:19:23,121
>> Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT

5942
03:19:23,121 --> 03:19:24,857
just wanted to announce to

5943
03:19:24,857 --> 03:19:26,725
everyone that yesterday

5944
03:19:26,725 --> 03:19:29,125
Governor DeSantis signed House

5945
03:19:29,561 --> 03:19:31,430
Bill 4045 in the law which

5946
03:19:31,430 --> 03:19:32,898
officially updates the city's

5947
03:19:32,898 --> 03:19:33,732
charter to specifically

5948
03:19:33,732 --> 03:19:34,466
enumerate Jax alleviation.

5949
03:19:34,466 --> 03:19:35,167
Authorities responsibility for

5950
03:19:35,167 --> 03:19:38,136
growing Cecil into a regional

5951
03:19:38,136 --> 03:19:39,738
state and national aerospace

5952
03:19:39,738 --> 03:19:42,738
industry hub. It also requires

5953
03:19:44,310 --> 03:19:47,212
to bring us annual economic

5954
03:19:47,212 --> 03:19:47,913
plan concurrent with

5955
03:19:47,913 --> 03:19:48,614
budgeting. So I want to tell

5956
03:19:48,614 --> 03:19:50,215
everyone that started here as

5957
03:19:50,215 --> 03:19:50,917
a j bill that we approved

5958
03:19:50,917 --> 03:19:51,550
unanimously and then it went

5959
03:19:51,550 --> 03:19:53,118
to the state and now it's

5960
03:19:53,118 --> 03:19:55,220
become a change to the

5961
03:19:55,220 --> 03:19:55,955
charter. I can't thank you all

5962
03:19:55,955 --> 03:19:56,689
enough for supporting that. I

5963
03:19:56,689 --> 03:19:57,356
think it's going to bring

5964
03:19:57,356 --> 03:20:00,259
great things to our city. I

5965
03:20:00,259 --> 03:20:02,561
can't thank the state rep

5966
03:20:02,561 --> 03:20:04,530
Wyman Duggan enough for

5967
03:20:04,530 --> 03:20:05,397
leading it through

5968
03:20:05,397 --> 03:20:07,797
Tallahassee. And I look

5969
03:20:08,366 --> 03:20:09,101
forward to the jobs,

5970
03:20:09,101 --> 03:20:09,801
investment and innovation that

5971
03:20:09,801 --> 03:20:12,104
the team a j will help bring

5972
03:20:12,104 --> 03:20:13,380
your city. Thank you. All

5973
03:20:13,380 --> 03:20:13,705
right. Thank you very much.

5974
03:20:13,705 --> 03:20:14,440
Other announcements. We are

5975
03:20:14,440 --> 03:20:16,840
adjourned, MR. Chappell, bring

5976
03:20:24,150 --> 03:20:26,150
us home.

5977
03:20:26,986 --> 03:20:28,153
>> Thank you, PRESIDENT. Let

5978
03:20:28,153 --> 03:20:30,560
us pray. Gracious GOD, we

5979
03:20:30,560 --> 03:20:31,910
thank you for yet one more

5980
03:20:31,910 --> 03:20:34,326
time to be able to serve the

5981
03:20:34,326 --> 03:20:36,394
community that we call home.

5982
03:20:36,394 --> 03:20:37,195
Thank you for imparting you

5983
03:20:37,195 --> 03:20:39,970
was upon us. Continue to give

5984
03:20:39,970 --> 03:20:41,497
us 10 prints too. Realize

5985
03:20:43,690 --> 03:20:43,803
that. And so many things we

5986
03:20:43,803 --> 03:20:46,203
should put principle over

5987
03:20:48,107 --> 03:20:51,107
politics. But not decisions be

5988
03:20:51,610 --> 03:20:53,479
based on popularity. But

5989
03:20:53,479 --> 03:20:56,479
better decisions be based on

5990
03:20:57,984 --> 03:21:00,186
what is right. As we depart

5991
03:21:00,186 --> 03:21:00,886
from this place. We asked

5992
03:21:00,886 --> 03:21:02,220
could be with and ask you to

5993
03:21:02,220 --> 03:21:04,220
continue to cover family

5994
03:21:04,220 --> 03:21:04,623
members and continue to watch

5995
03:21:04,623 --> 03:21:07,623
over this great city of

5996
03:21:07,693 --> 03:21:08,360
Jacksonville that we call home

5997
03:21:08,360 --> 03:21:11,960
its in Jesus. Holy name. We

5998
03:21:23,242 --> 03:21:25,242
pray. Amen.
