why they can still And in

239
00:07:42,330 --> 00:07:44,730
DECEMBER of 2012, you probably

240
00:07:45,333 --> 00:07:46,400
didn't notice at the time, but

241
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:47,670
I was sitting in your

242
00:07:47,670 --> 00:07:47,635
congregation in the back in

243
00:07:47,635 --> 00:07:50,350
the back Row Baptist

244
00:07:50,905 --> 00:07:51,639
preacher's kid. And you

245
00:07:51,639 --> 00:07:54,390
challenge your congregation to

246
00:07:55,276 --> 00:07:56,311
read a book. And one of the

247
00:07:56,311 --> 00:07:57,779
things that you said everyone

248
00:07:57,779 --> 00:07:58,479
should a read this book. Only

249
00:07:58,479 --> 00:07:59,146
about 80 pages, 80 by pages.

250
00:07:59,146 --> 00:08:01,583
It was called the prayer of

251
00:08:01,583 --> 00:08:03,150
Jabez. And I said, you know

252
00:08:03,150 --> 00:08:04,552
what? He just said less than

253
00:08:04,552 --> 00:08:06,621
100. I think I can get through

254
00:08:06,621 --> 00:08:10,591
this book. And I did and I saw

255
00:08:10,591 --> 00:08:11,292
my life change dramatically

256
00:08:11,292 --> 00:08:12,560
from that day forward because

257
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:13,260
the first time that someone

258
00:08:13,260 --> 00:08:15,300
ever told me that was ok for

259
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:15,764
me to pray for myself. That

260
00:08:15,764 --> 00:08:19,501
was I was growing up rain, but

261
00:08:19,501 --> 00:08:20,201
others. And so that prayer

262
00:08:20,201 --> 00:08:20,902
bless me, indeed, enlarge my

263
00:08:20,902 --> 00:08:23,902

526
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:58,720
PRESIDENT And council members.

527
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,589
My name is Kimberly

528
00:17:00,589 --> 00:17:02,524
Fontecchio. I'm the property

529
00:17:02,524 --> 00:17:03,258
owner and sole resident of 2,

530
00:17:03,258 --> 00:17:06,258
7, 2, 9, dilan a good drive in

531
00:17:06,728 --> 00:17:07,696
district 2. I'm here tonight

532
00:17:07,696 --> 00:17:09,664
to stand in solidarity with

533
00:17:09,664 --> 00:17:11,299
Nathan and our local urban

534
00:17:11,299 --> 00:17:12,330
agricultural coalition to urge

535
00:17:12,330 --> 00:17:15,633
this council to pass the right

536
00:17:15,637 --> 00:17:16,338
to garden at. This matter is

537
00:17:16,338 --> 00:17:17,639
deeply personal to me because

538
00:17:17,639 --> 00:17:19,742
on JULY 13th that this year,

539
00:17:19,742 --> 00:17:20,675
the city of Jacksonville

540
00:17:20,675 --> 00:17:21,910
officially executed an

541
00:17:21,910 --> 00:17:22,511
approved my formal certificate

542
00:17:22,511 --> 00:17:25,347
of use for fun Taquitos

543
00:17:25,347 --> 00:17:27,347
community Garden. Despite

544
00:17:27,449 --> 00:17:28,684
being fully permitted unlawful

545
00:17:28,684 --> 00:17:31,840
and Uppal standards, operators

546
00:17:31,352 --> 00:17:32,287
like myself continue to face

547
00:17:32,287 --> 00:17:34,323
targeted harassment and the

548
00:17:34,323 --> 00:17:36,291
U.S. Enforcement of selective

549
00:17:36,291 --> 00:17:37,459
covenants and unwarranted

550
00:17:37,459 --> 00:17:38,226
interference from H.O.A. Is

551
00:17:38,226 --> 00:17:38,927
trying to dictate their

552
00:17:38,927 --> 00:17:41,327
interpretation of city zoning

553
00:17:43,131 --> 00:17:45,131
laws. Food independence,

554
00:17:45,267 --> 00:17:46,000
agricultural wellness and

555
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:46,735
gathering together in peaceful

556
00:17:46,735 --> 00:17:49,135
community connection are basic

557
00:17:49,271 --> 00:17:52,140
human rights. This council has

558
00:17:52,140 --> 00:17:54,540
a historic opportunity tonight

559
00:17:54,909 --> 00:17:55,477
to protect its own permitted

560
00:17:55,477 --> 00:17:56,144
land. Use defendant's

561
00:17:56,144 --> 00:17:58,544
residence and solidify our

562
00:17:59,114 --> 00:18:01,282
city's future. We ask that you

563
00:18:01,282 --> 00:18:02,851
past the home occupation Bill

564
00:18:02,851 --> 00:18:04,686

565
00:18:04,686 --> 00:18:06,554
come it to sponsor the free to

566
00:18:06,554 --> 00:18:08,423
garden at so we can move it

567
00:18:08,423 --> 00:18:09,124

568
00:18:09,124 --> 00:18:11,226
introduction. Thank you. Can

00:18:11,927 --> 00:18:14,927
>> Thank you, ma'am. Next we

571
00:18:20,269 --> 00:18:20,936
have Roxanne, clout. It's

572
00:18:20,936 --> 00:18:22,171
always so exciting to stand

573
00:18:22,171 --> 00:18:26,371
here in front you. My name is

574
00:18:26,374 --> 00:18:29,178
Roxy McLeod and I very proudly

575
00:18:29,178 --> 00:18:31,578
live in District 10 at 8, 0,

576
00:18:33,382 --> 00:18:34,582
2, 9 Buffalo Avenue. And I am

577
00:18:34,582 --> 00:18:37,352
here to first of all I forgot

578
00:18:37,352 --> 00:18:38,530
to do. Last time I talked to

579
00:18:38,530 --> 00:18:41,523
you, I'll be wearing this hat

580
00:18:41,523 --> 00:18:44,693
when you come to cs. At the

581
00:18:44,693 --> 00:18:45,527
community Garden in Panama

582
00:18:45,527 --> 00:18:46,728
Park. It's right. I mean, it's

583
00:18:46,728 --> 00:18:47,462
like between here. It's just

584
00:18:47,462 --> 00:18:50,566
before you get to the zoo. You

585
00:18:50,566 --> 00:18:51,700
don't have to drive far. Just

586
00:18:51,700 --> 00:18:52,334
come and see the garden. You

587
00:18:52,334 --> 00:18:54,690
will love it. You will be

588
00:18:54,690 --> 00:18:57,690
allowed to pick some tomatoes.

589
00:18:58,206 --> 00:18:59,909
Ca some peppers. Okay. So

590
00:18:59,909 --> 00:19:01,943
please come to see our garden

591
00:19:01,943 --> 00:19:03,979
in Panama Park. It's called

592
00:19:03,979 --> 00:19:04,879
common ground where we grow

593
00:19:04,879 --> 00:19:07,480
together. And I'll tell you a

594
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:08,216
little story just this

595
00:19:08,216 --> 00:19:11,816
morning. I was in the garden

596
00:19:12,354 --> 00:19:13,255
where I love to be and across

597
00:19:13,255 --> 00:19:16,255
fence. One of the little

598
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:19,761
neighbor, she's 5 years old

599
00:19:19,761 --> 00:19:20,495
and she's going okay,

600
00:19:20,495 --> 00:19:21,130
kindergarten, can I a gun? She

601
00:19:21,130 --> 00:19:21,763
loves to come the garden.

602
00:19:21,763 --> 00:19:23,365
Well, I was just about to

603
00:19:23,365 --> 00:19:24,660
leave.

604
00:19:24,660 --> 00:19:25,660
>> broker Hardin said no, not

605
00:19:25,660 --> 00:19:27,466
today. Tomorrow. Tomorrow you

606
00:19:27,803 --> 00:19:28,170
can come to the garden

607
00:19:28,170 --> 00:19:29,380
tomorrow.

608
00:19:29,380 --> 00:19:29,938
>> That the garden is so much

609
00:19:29,938 --> 00:19:30,672
more than all the perfect

610
00:19:30,672 --> 00:19:34,900
things that Kim just said. I'm

611
00:19:34,900 --> 00:19:36,780
not going to repeat it. I'm

612
00:19:36,780 --> 00:19:37,813
here to support that act for

613
00:19:37,813 --> 00:19:38,446
freedom to garden. Please,

614
00:19:38,446 --> 00:19:39,114
please. I'm asking you to

615
00:19:39,114 --> 00:19:42,551
support it, too. In all the

616
00:19:42,551 --> 00:19:43,385
things that she said. But I'm

617
00:19:43,385 --> 00:19:46,555
just telling you that it's not

618
00:19:46,555 --> 00:19:47,155
just for Food, Inc and

619
00:19:47,155 --> 00:19:48,524
stability, and it grows

620
00:19:48,524 --> 00:19:50,524
neighborhoods. It grows

621
00:19:50,859 --> 00:19:52,761
community. The people that

622
00:19:52,761 --> 00:19:53,662
come into that garden and work

623
00:19:53,662 --> 00:19:54,363
side by side are weeding

624
00:19:54,363 --> 00:19:56,363
side-by-side. They're telling

625
00:19:56,832 --> 00:19:59,268
stories things they had. They

626
00:19:59,268 --> 00:19:59,935
didn't even remember from way

627
00:19:59,935 --> 00:20:02,935
back when they were sharing

628
00:20:03,238 --> 00:20:04,306
recipes with each other. The

629
00:20:04,306 --> 00:20:05,600
beauty and the strength that

630
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,600
it creates in a neighborhood

631
00:20:08,644 --> 00:20:10,345
in a community cannot be

632
00:20:10,345 --> 00:20:11,379
emphasized enough. I cannot

633
00:20:11,379 --> 00:20:14,979
tell you how beautiful it is

634
00:20:15,116 --> 00:20:16,351
to see so many people of all

635
00:20:16,351 --> 00:20:18,287
ages from that five-year-old

636
00:20:18,287 --> 00:20:18,920
all the way to the old people.

637
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,822
They can just barely get

638
00:20:20,822 --> 00:20:22,858
there. They love to share

639
00:20:22,858 --> 00:20:23,559
their wisdom. So anyway,

640
00:20:23,559 --> 00:20:24,360
community gardens are the way

641
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:26,262
to go. So please, please,

642
00:20:26,262 --> 00:20:27,529
please support this act. And

643
00:20:27,529 --> 00:20:29,632
that's enough. But I want to

644
00:20:29,632 --> 00:20:31,667
see you and you know where I'm

645
00:20:31,667 --> 00:20:32,401
at. So come to the garden.

646
00:20:32,401 --> 00:20:35,170
Only one of you have come here

647
00:20:35,170 --> 00:20:35,971
to the garden so far.

648
00:20:35,971 --> 00:20:38,373
>> Thank you, ma'am. Next we

649
00:20:38,373 --> 00:20:41,973
have heard junior. I hope I

650
00:20:44,914 --> 00:20:45,648
pronounced that correctly. Are

651
00:20:45,648 --> 00:20:49,848
you doing? My name is heard as

652
00:20:50,285 --> 00:20:51,860
whites.

653
00:20:51,860 --> 00:20:54,860
>> Her address my address is

654
00:21:00,596 --> 00:21:02,996
stated on. Thank you.

655
00:21:09,939 --> 00:21:12,939
>> Hi, guys. Only to arc.

656
00:21:25,120 --> 00:21:27,120
>> About the

657
00:21:27,856 --> 00:21:29,391
>> I'm here today to support

658
00:21:29,391 --> 00:21:30,250
the free to Garnett because I

659
00:21:30,250 --> 00:21:32,425
have seen firsthand how

660
00:21:32,861 --> 00:21:33,729
community gardens improve

661
00:21:33,729 --> 00:21:34,463
public health, strengthen

662
00:21:34,463 --> 00:21:36,463
neighborhoods, great education

663
00:21:36,765 --> 00:21:38,667
opportunities for you and

664
00:21:38,667 --> 00:21:40,603
increase access to fresh

665
00:21:40,603 --> 00:21:42,404
healthy food. Every week I

666
00:21:42,404 --> 00:21:43,710
work alongside families,

667
00:21:43,710 --> 00:21:43,739
volunteers and community

668
00:21:43,739 --> 00:21:46,708
members who are learning to

669
00:21:46,708 --> 00:21:48,878
grow their own food community

670
00:21:48,878 --> 00:21:49,979
gardens are more than places

671
00:21:49,979 --> 00:21:51,113
to grow vegetables with their

672
00:21:51,113 --> 00:21:52,114
outdoor classroom spaces for

673
00:21:52,114 --> 00:21:54,114
healing workforce development

674
00:21:55,618 --> 00:21:56,318
and community connection.

675
00:21:56,318 --> 00:21:57,519
Unfortunately, organizations

676
00:21:57,519 --> 00:21:59,821
dedicated to serving their

677
00:21:59,821 --> 00:22:00,989
communities have often face

678
00:22:00,989 --> 00:22:02,989
unnecessary barriers to

679
00:22:03,392 --> 00:22:04,659
establishing and operating

680
00:22:04,659 --> 00:22:07,590
gardens, making community and

681
00:22:09,799 --> 00:22:11,799
market garden. Clearly

682
00:22:12,234 --> 00:22:12,935
permissible will help schools,

683
00:22:12,935 --> 00:22:14,236
nonprofits, neighborhoods and

684
00:22:14,236 --> 00:22:15,504
Faith based organization is

685
00:22:15,504 --> 00:22:17,904
focused on serving people

686
00:22:18,607 --> 00:22:19,641
rather than navigating

687
00:22:19,641 --> 00:22:21,641
uncertainty. We respectfully

688
00:22:22,511 --> 00:22:23,445
ask that you pass the home

689
00:22:23,445 --> 00:22:24,146
occupation Bill tonight and

690
00:22:24,146 --> 00:22:25,981
the coming days committed to

691
00:22:25,981 --> 00:22:27,383
sponsoring the free to guard

692
00:22:27,383 --> 00:22:30,819
Nate so we can move forward

693
00:22:30,819 --> 00:22:33,210
and for filing introduction.

694
00:22:33,210 --> 00:22:33,389
Thank you for your time. Your

695
00:22:33,389 --> 00:22:34,230
service.

696
00:22:34,230 --> 00:22:37,230
>> Thank u next. We have

697
00:22:41,263 --> 00:22:41,931
Angela 10, Brooke. Good

698
00:22:41,931 --> 00:22:43,599
Evening Council. PRESIDENT

699
00:22:43,599 --> 00:22:45,534
Members of the City Council.

700
00:22:45,534 --> 00:22:46,735
My name is Angela Time,

701
00:22:46,735 --> 00:22:49,380
Brooke. And I reside at 49

702
00:22:49,380 --> 00:22:50,506
story court. I'm the executive

703
00:22:50,506 --> 00:22:51,140
director for the Center for

704
00:22:51,140 --> 00:22:53,140
Sustainable Agricultural

705
00:22:53,409 --> 00:22:54,409
Excellence and Conservation. I

706
00:22:54,409 --> 00:22:55,110
was honored to serve as the

707
00:22:55,110 --> 00:22:57,510
city of Jacksonville's first

708
00:22:59,381 --> 00:23:00,150
and ultimately last manager of

709
00:23:00,150 --> 00:23:00,916
ag Urban ag, Agriculture,

710
00:23:00,916 --> 00:23:03,916
Fisheries and land use policy.

711
00:23:04,152 --> 00:23:05,587
A role created to strengthen

712
00:23:05,587 --> 00:23:07,556
our local food system and

713
00:23:07,556 --> 00:23:08,491
improve food, security. And

714
00:23:08,491 --> 00:23:09,291
Jacksonville's residents. That

715
00:23:09,291 --> 00:23:11,691
position was created because

716
00:23:13,950 --> 00:23:13,729
many in Jacksonville recognize

717
00:23:13,729 --> 00:23:14,529
that food security is not

718
00:23:14,529 --> 00:23:16,929
simply an agricultural issues.

719
00:23:17,330 --> 00:23:18,968
It's an economic issue. Health

720
00:23:18,968 --> 00:23:20,436
issues and environmental issue

721
00:23:20,436 --> 00:23:22,605
and a community resilience

722
00:23:22,605 --> 00:23:24,440
issue. Our goal was straight

723
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:25,975
forward to put more locally

724
00:23:25,975 --> 00:23:26,608
grown food and our

725
00:23:26,608 --> 00:23:27,976
neighborhoods support our

726
00:23:27,976 --> 00:23:29,976
farmers, ranchers, Waterman

727
00:23:30,580 --> 00:23:32,948
and ally producer businesses

728
00:23:32,948 --> 00:23:33,682
to create educational

729
00:23:33,682 --> 00:23:35,830
opportunities, conserve water

730
00:23:35,830 --> 00:23:35,785
and strengthen local food

731
00:23:35,785 --> 00:23:37,519
systems. Although that

732
00:23:37,519 --> 00:23:39,919
position was eliminated, the

733
00:23:40,355 --> 00:23:41,290
mission did not end since

734
00:23:41,290 --> 00:23:42,124
leaving the city. I have

735
00:23:42,124 --> 00:23:44,293
continue this work around the

736
00:23:44,293 --> 00:23:44,960
world, helping communities and

737
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,395
multiple continents develop

738
00:23:46,395 --> 00:23:48,664
sustainable food systems that

739
00:23:48,664 --> 00:23:50,465
conserve water, create jobs,

740
00:23:50,465 --> 00:23:51,900
improve nutrition, increase,

741
00:23:51,900 --> 00:23:54,300
food security. Everywhere I

742
00:23:55,700 --> 00:23:56,339
go. I see governments.

743
00:23:56,339 --> 00:23:58,339
Governments investing in

744
00:23:58,407 --> 00:24:00,576
policies that make it easier,

745
00:24:00,576 --> 00:24:02,345
not harder for people to grow

746
00:24:02,345 --> 00:24:03,120
food. That is why I stand here

747
00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:05,447
today before you to support

748
00:24:05,447 --> 00:24:07,349
the free to Garden Act. This

749
00:24:07,349 --> 00:24:08,830
legislation is about

750
00:24:08,830 --> 00:24:08,750
empowering residents. It gives

751
00:24:08,750 --> 00:24:11,150
families the opportunity to

752
00:24:11,554 --> 00:24:12,254
grow healthy food, teach

753
00:24:12,254 --> 00:24:15,254
children were food and their

754
00:24:15,758 --> 00:24:16,459
food comes from strengthen

755
00:24:16,459 --> 00:24:18,859
neighborhoods and become more

756
00:24:18,927 --> 00:24:19,561
resilient during times of

757
00:24:19,561 --> 00:24:21,430
economic uncertainty and

758
00:24:21,430 --> 00:24:23,650
supply chain disruptions.

759
00:24:23,650 --> 00:24:25,650
Jacksonville has an

760
00:24:25,801 --> 00:24:26,535
opportunity. We should be

761
00:24:26,535 --> 00:24:27,202
developing legislation that

762
00:24:27,202 --> 00:24:28,471
encourages food production,

763
00:24:28,471 --> 00:24:30,471
remove unnecessary barriers

764
00:24:30,806 --> 00:24:31,841
and supports homeowners

765
00:24:31,841 --> 00:24:32,541
schools. Community gardens,

766
00:24:32,541 --> 00:24:34,941
nonprofits and local farmers

767
00:24:35,778 --> 00:24:36,912
alike. Food security cannot

768
00:24:36,912 --> 00:24:39,912
rely solely on grocery stores

769
00:24:40,582 --> 00:24:41,517
and food banks. It begins in

770
00:24:41,517 --> 00:24:43,917
our own backyards schools,

771
00:24:44,860 --> 00:24:45,787
churches and neighborhoods.

772
00:24:45,787 --> 00:24:46,955
Every garden represents a

773
00:24:46,955 --> 00:24:48,423
healthier family, stronger

774
00:24:48,423 --> 00:24:49,580
communities and reduce

775
00:24:49,580 --> 00:24:51,580
environmental impacts and

776
00:24:51,527 --> 00:24:53,620
greater local resilience.

777
00:24:53,620 --> 00:24:53,762
Let's make Jacksonville don't

778
00:24:53,762 --> 00:24:56,699
for the food. We empower our

779
00:24:56,699 --> 00:24:57,399
citizens to grow. I

780
00:24:57,399 --> 00:24:58,867
respectfully ask you support

781
00:24:58,867 --> 00:25:00,736
the free to Garden Act so that

782
00:25:00,736 --> 00:25:03,338
we can continue to build a

783
00:25:03,338 --> 00:25:05,408
city where every resident has

784
00:25:05,408 --> 00:25:06,708
the opportunity to grow share

785
00:25:06,708 --> 00:25:08,610
access, fresh, healthy food.

786
00:25:08,610 --> 00:25:11,280
Thank you for your time. Your

787
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:11,947
service to our community and

788
00:25:11,947 --> 00:25:14,917
your support of the free to

789
00:25:14,917 --> 00:25:16,986
Garden Act. Thank you, Next,

790
00:25:16,986 --> 00:25:17,820
we have the Valerie Hermann.

791
00:25:17,820 --> 00:25:19,221
In the meantime, I want fight

792
00:25:19,221 --> 00:25:20,956
the phone to please come to

793
00:25:20,956 --> 00:25:23,356
the front. Kathleen Pereira,

794
00:25:24,927 --> 00:25:27,327
Marion Corny. Chaplin. Jerry,

795
00:25:28,564 --> 00:25:29,298
Michelle Wilson. And Nathan

796
00:25:29,298 --> 00:25:29,732
Valentine. Please come on down

797
00:25:29,732 --> 00:25:31,732
to the front.

798
00:25:32,935 --> 00:25:35,935
>> Go ahead. MISS Herman. Good

799
00:25:37,573 --> 00:25:38,106
evening. My name is Valerie

800
00:25:38,106 --> 00:25:38,808
Hermann.

801
00:25:38,808 --> 00:25:41,208
>> And executive director of

802
00:25:43,246 --> 00:25:44,347
first Coast Urban ag. We

803
00:25:44,347 --> 00:25:45,470
create agriculturally immerse

804
00:25:45,470 --> 00:25:45,681
that play spaces for children

805
00:25:45,681 --> 00:25:46,983
and families in the urban

806
00:25:46,983 --> 00:25:50,583
core. My address is on file.

807
00:25:51,253 --> 00:25:53,653
Thank you. Friends, neighbors

808
00:25:55,858 --> 00:25:56,559
and members of the council. It

809
00:25:56,559 --> 00:25:59,862
was never about a hot dog and

810
00:25:59,862 --> 00:26:00,996
a coke. And today it's not

811
00:26:00,996 --> 00:26:04,596
about a tomato or a green

812
00:26:06,935 --> 00:26:08,204
bean. In the 1960's opponents

813
00:26:08,204 --> 00:26:09,905
framed lunch counters as a

814
00:26:09,905 --> 00:26:12,905
threat to public order and

815
00:26:13,509 --> 00:26:15,509
neighborhood character. A

816
00:26:15,644 --> 00:26:17,647
threat to public order and

817
00:26:17,647 --> 00:26:19,647
neighborhood character.

818
00:26:21,116 --> 00:26:24,116
Absurd. And yet sounds eerily

819
00:26:26,989 --> 00:26:30,260
familiar. Then as now it was

820
00:26:30,260 --> 00:26:33,229
just about food. It is about

821
00:26:33,229 --> 00:26:36,229
human dignity. It is about

822
00:26:36,799 --> 00:26:39,799
equal citizenship. It is about

823
00:26:40,336 --> 00:26:42,104
healthy food, sovereignty. And

824
00:26:42,104 --> 00:26:42,938
it is about our fundamental

825
00:26:42,938 --> 00:26:45,938
right to gather in public

826
00:26:48,100 --> 00:26:50,410
space. Because democracy is

827
00:26:52,281 --> 00:26:54,250
not born in City Hall. It has

828
00:26:54,250 --> 00:26:55,217
created in the daily

829
00:26:55,217 --> 00:26:57,217
unscripted conversations which

830
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,789
usually happen over food.

831
00:26:59,789 --> 00:27:03,389
Whether at a lunch counter or

832
00:27:04,426 --> 00:27:05,327
across a garden bed. If the

833
00:27:05,327 --> 00:27:08,327
city fears its own neighbors

834
00:27:08,865 --> 00:27:09,498
growing food. It is a city

835
00:27:09,498 --> 00:27:12,498
losing touch with its own

836
00:27:14,536 --> 00:27:15,270
people. When garden spaces are

837
00:27:15,270 --> 00:27:17,670
restricted by a generous

838
00:27:18,741 --> 00:27:21,310
amount of red tape. It does

839
00:27:21,310 --> 00:27:22,811
not create just a food desert.

840
00:27:22,811 --> 00:27:25,811
But a Democratic desert as

841
00:27:28,284 --> 00:27:28,918
well. I think we can all agree

842
00:27:28,918 --> 00:27:31,318
our civic fabric needs

843
00:27:33,355 --> 00:27:34,991
tending. And the best place to

844
00:27:34,991 --> 00:27:38,591
do it is over lunch. Wouldn't

845
00:27:40,496 --> 00:27:42,398
you agree? Please come it to

846
00:27:42,398 --> 00:27:44,334
sponsor the Free to Garden Act

847
00:27:44,334 --> 00:27:47,934
so we can forward for filing

848
00:27:48,404 --> 00:27:49,380
an introduction.

849
00:27:49,380 --> 00:27:52,380
>> Thank u next. We have

850
00:27:54,811 --> 00:27:55,778
Kathleen per.

851
00:27:55,778 --> 00:27:58,481
>> My name is Kathleen. Per my

852
00:27:58,481 --> 00:27:59,148
information is on file.

853
00:27:59,148 --> 00:28:01,484
Congratulations to the new

854
00:28:01,484 --> 00:28:02,318
leadership of the council and

855
00:28:02,318 --> 00:28:03,190
special thanks to PRESIDENT

856
00:28:03,190 --> 00:28:05,888
How and for strengthening the

857
00:28:05,888 --> 00:28:06,855
partnership with the 6th see

858
00:28:06,855 --> 00:28:07,523
packs together, we will

859
00:28:07,523 --> 00:28:10,523
continue to build a better

860
00:28:12,528 --> 00:28:13,162
city. By the way. Did you know

861
00:28:13,162 --> 00:28:15,970
that you have an allotted

862
00:28:15,970 --> 00:28:16,198
amount of time to enjoy your

863
00:28:16,198 --> 00:28:18,867
peace and quiet and privacy of

864
00:28:18,867 --> 00:28:19,568
your home before development

865
00:28:19,568 --> 00:28:23,206
has the right to barge in and

866
00:28:23,206 --> 00:28:24,874
destroy it. All. That is the

867
00:28:24,874 --> 00:28:25,608
impression I got from Sporting

868
00:28:25,608 --> 00:28:26,308
Jax after my fox Chase

869
00:28:26,308 --> 00:28:28,308
neighborhoods. Recent meeting

870
00:28:28,911 --> 00:28:29,612
with U.S. Representatives.

871
00:28:29,612 --> 00:28:31,612
Apparently our neighborhoods,

872
00:28:33,182 --> 00:28:35,118
privacy in peace quota is 37

873
00:28:35,118 --> 00:28:36,452
years. And so we should just

874
00:28:36,452 --> 00:28:38,852
accept the development. That

875
00:28:39,540 --> 00:28:39,956
will be a crouching upon us.

876
00:28:39,956 --> 00:28:41,791
And then I guess we shouldn't

877
00:28:41,791 --> 00:28:42,692
feel sorry for the Windy Hill

878
00:28:42,692 --> 00:28:45,920
neighborhood. If their septic

879
00:28:46,562 --> 00:28:47,730
tanks and well, water gets get

880
00:28:47,730 --> 00:28:48,430
contaminated by this

881
00:28:48,430 --> 00:28:49,565
development says their peace

882
00:28:49,565 --> 00:28:51,965
quota expired 40 years before

883
00:28:53,690 --> 00:28:54,203
our neighbors neighborhoods.

884
00:28:54,203 --> 00:28:55,237
And the soccer stadium. Folks

885
00:28:55,237 --> 00:28:56,873
think that roughly one-half

886
00:28:56,873 --> 00:28:58,674
mile buffer between our

887
00:28:58,674 --> 00:29:00,900
neighborhood in a stadium for

888
00:29:00,900 --> 00:29:02,409
15,000 people is enough to

889
00:29:04,414 --> 00:29:05,849
dampen a loud concert branches

890
00:29:05,849 --> 00:29:08,840
soccer game one. If you an app

891
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:09,619
had allowed concert tonight,

892
00:29:09,619 --> 00:29:12,822
we could hear it even with a

893
00:29:12,822 --> 00:29:15,124
mile Buffer mile buffer. And

894
00:29:15,124 --> 00:29:17,159
that doesn't include the extra

895
00:29:17,159 --> 00:29:18,528
15,000 cars that will grid

896
00:29:18,528 --> 00:29:21,330
lot, the current congestion in

897
00:29:21,330 --> 00:29:22,164
Saint Johns Town center. The

898
00:29:22,164 --> 00:29:25,164
best scenario is to have

899
00:29:25,635 --> 00:29:26,336
sporting Jax partner with ata

900
00:29:26,336 --> 00:29:28,671
and building share the soccer

901
00:29:28,671 --> 00:29:31,908
stadium. Rd zoned to be built

902
00:29:31,908 --> 00:29:32,841
in sporting complex downtown

903
00:29:32,841 --> 00:29:35,841
Jacksonville does not need to

904
00:29:37,113 --> 00:29:38,514
major soccer stadium venues.

905
00:29:38,514 --> 00:29:39,149
Finally, please support 2026,

906
00:29:39,149 --> 00:29:41,549
0, 5, 7, o which is being

907
00:29:42,952 --> 00:29:45,121
introduced tonight. For about

908
00:29:45,121 --> 00:29:45,688
the e-bikes and please adopt a

909
00:29:45,688 --> 00:29:47,688
resolution to declare

910
00:29:49,580 --> 00:29:49,792
charlie dent day for OCTOBER

911
00:29:49,792 --> 00:29:50,526
14th. And I think the right to

912
00:29:50,526 --> 00:29:53,363
grow is a pretty good idea to

913
00:29:53,363 --> 00:29:54,630
thank you.

914
00:29:54,630 --> 00:29:57,663
>> Thank u next. We have Mary

915
00:30:01,771 --> 00:30:02,438
Courtney.

916
00:30:02,438 --> 00:30:04,600
>> Good evening. My name is

917
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,606
Mary in Kearney. My address is

918
00:30:08,211 --> 00:30:08,945
on file. And this is my second

919
00:30:08,945 --> 00:30:09,845
time to speak in front of you.

920
00:30:09,845 --> 00:30:12,749
So please, if I sound nervous,

921
00:30:12,749 --> 00:30:16,986
I am. But I would like to talk

922
00:30:16,986 --> 00:30:19,556
to you about that. Irreparable

923
00:30:19,556 --> 00:30:21,557
environmental damage of having

924
00:30:21,557 --> 00:30:22,224
40 Jax Soccer stadium and

925
00:30:22,224 --> 00:30:24,624
development in Big Island's

926
00:30:27,731 --> 00:30:28,431
warm. Construction and paving

927
00:30:28,431 --> 00:30:29,899
increase to run off into the

928
00:30:29,899 --> 00:30:32,299
public face in elevation.

929
00:30:32,334 --> 00:30:33,435
Local neighborhood flood risk

930
00:30:33,435 --> 00:30:35,638
and threatening natural water

931
00:30:35,638 --> 00:30:37,638
filtration buffers. Also

932
00:30:39,275 --> 00:30:40,900
removing the tree canopy,

933
00:30:40,900 --> 00:30:40,643
reduces the water absorption

934
00:30:40,643 --> 00:30:43,430
after drainage and causes

935
00:30:45,682 --> 00:30:46,282
flooding. To mention the

936
00:30:46,282 --> 00:30:48,282
environmental impact of

937
00:30:50,319 --> 00:30:51,200
destroying the nesting sites.

938
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:51,688
Food source is in protective

939
00:30:51,688 --> 00:30:54,688
cover for native birds and

940
00:30:54,924 --> 00:30:56,692
amphibians and mammals.

941
00:30:56,692 --> 00:30:59,920
According to recent newspaper,

942
00:30:59,529 --> 00:31:00,796
articles are Saint Johns River

943
00:31:00,796 --> 00:31:01,497
is already experiencing

944
00:31:01,497 --> 00:31:03,897
massive amounts of pollution

945
00:31:06,936 --> 00:31:08,104
and algae blooms. This going

946
00:31:08,104 --> 00:31:08,738
to so construction in the

947
00:31:08,738 --> 00:31:09,472
runoff and the fact that

948
00:31:09,472 --> 00:31:11,441
they're going to have to raise

949
00:31:11,441 --> 00:31:12,750
the water table. To that

950
00:31:12,750 --> 00:31:15,110
property decent. It is a

951
00:31:15,110 --> 00:31:15,644
swamp. Will cause more

952
00:31:15,644 --> 00:31:18,440
problems for Saint Johns

953
00:31:20,717 --> 00:31:22,840
River. So I'm taking you. To

954
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,840
remember this when it comes

955
00:31:25,622 --> 00:31:26,723
time to vote and say vote no.

956
00:31:26,723 --> 00:31:29,723
For this Tucker Stadium and

957
00:31:31,194 --> 00:31:31,827
development.

958
00:31:31,827 --> 00:31:34,827
>> Thank u next. We have

959
00:31:41,237 --> 00:31:41,904
chaplain Jerry with

960
00:31:41,904 --> 00:31:43,840
>> Good evening, chaplain.

961
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,440
Jerry, address on file? I want

962
00:31:50,313 --> 00:31:52,480
to PRESIDENT How and Vice

963
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,500
PRESIDENT Carlucci for taking

964
00:31:54,500 --> 00:31:54,650
over leadership. I know really

965
00:31:54,650 --> 00:31:57,186
want to make this a

966
00:31:57,186 --> 00:31:59,186
conservative. Budget that's

967
00:32:01,891 --> 00:32:02,592
coming up. Because we're all

968
00:32:02,592 --> 00:32:05,361
taxpayer dollars. We have to

969
00:32:05,361 --> 00:32:07,761
watch our budgets. But

970
00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:08,631
tonight, I want to stand with

971
00:32:08,631 --> 00:32:10,166
John Labor real and the

972
00:32:10,166 --> 00:32:11,734
Christian Family Coalition

973
00:32:11,734 --> 00:32:14,734
group. I'm asking the City

974
00:32:16,390 --> 00:32:17,106
Council to honor Charlie Kirk.

975
00:32:17,106 --> 00:32:18,341
This man is widely known to

976
00:32:18,341 --> 00:32:20,143
inspire our youth on our

977
00:32:20,143 --> 00:32:22,110
college campuses all around

978
00:32:22,110 --> 00:32:22,779
the country. Charlie has

979
00:32:22,779 --> 00:32:25,779
debated and how many events

980
00:32:25,948 --> 00:32:27,783
right here in Jacksonville.

981
00:32:27,783 --> 00:32:28,485
This young man, news debate to

982
00:32:28,485 --> 00:32:30,353
educate and what the students

983
00:32:30,353 --> 00:32:33,323
find the truth and that a

984
00:32:33,323 --> 00:32:35,425
happy and blessed life. He

985
00:32:35,425 --> 00:32:36,125
modeled his Christian my by

986
00:32:36,125 --> 00:32:36,759
marrying the love of his life

987
00:32:36,759 --> 00:32:40,296
and becoming a dad to his

988
00:32:40,296 --> 00:32:41,164
children. He debated so people

989
00:32:41,164 --> 00:32:43,232
would understand that the

990
00:32:43,232 --> 00:32:45,340
unborn or a blessing and not a

991
00:32:45,340 --> 00:32:45,702
curse. And that children are

992
00:32:45,702 --> 00:32:48,300
to be loved and raised by a

993
00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:51,541
mom and dad. He's believe came

994
00:32:51,541 --> 00:32:52,275
from the Bible. He wanted

995
00:32:52,275 --> 00:32:55,244
other young people to have joy

996
00:32:55,244 --> 00:32:57,380
and peace that he had found.

997
00:32:57,380 --> 00:32:58,114
He was always respectful and

998
00:32:58,114 --> 00:33:00,617
news truth and logic to be his

999
00:33:00,617 --> 00:33:01,384
sword in his cultural battle.

1000
00:33:01,384 --> 00:33:03,153
He even tried to wake up our

1001
00:33:03,153 --> 00:33:05,553
churches to the Islamic

1002
00:33:05,688 --> 00:33:07,290
threat. He was a watchman on

1003
00:33:07,290 --> 00:33:11,160
the wall and he was Eva Lee

1004
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:12,529
brutally mass estimated. So I

1005
00:33:12,529 --> 00:33:14,697
would like to see OCTOBER 14th

1006
00:33:14,697 --> 00:33:16,833
this Charlie Kirk Remembrance

1007
00:33:16,833 --> 00:33:18,668
Day with his books displayed

1008
00:33:18,668 --> 00:33:20,870
OCTOBER 12 to the 17th in our

1009
00:33:20,870 --> 00:33:23,270
libraries. So children can

1010
00:33:24,340 --> 00:33:25,608
learn and read from his books.

1011
00:33:25,608 --> 00:33:28,377
I feel that this council needs

1012
00:33:28,377 --> 00:33:29,450
to stand with the citizens and

1013
00:33:29,450 --> 00:33:31,314
homeowners and not allow a

1014
00:33:31,314 --> 00:33:32,215
soccer stadium right next to 2

1015
00:33:32,215 --> 00:33:34,615
neighborhoods. The sound, the

1016
00:33:36,190 --> 00:33:36,719
traffic, the lights, put it

1017
00:33:36,719 --> 00:33:37,420
somewhere else where there's

1018
00:33:37,420 --> 00:33:40,223
lots of room where everybody

1019
00:33:40,223 --> 00:33:42,191
can enjoy it. We have our see

1020
00:33:42,191 --> 00:33:44,193
packs that are not being

1021
00:33:44,193 --> 00:33:45,610
listened to such as the

1022
00:33:45,610 --> 00:33:45,795
Chick-Fil-a that was built to

1023
00:33:45,795 --> 00:33:48,298
spite neighbor saying it would

1024
00:33:48,298 --> 00:33:49,332
make it dangerous to leave

1025
00:33:49,332 --> 00:33:50,199
their neighborhood. And now

1026
00:33:50,199 --> 00:33:53,799
many of my friends are dealing

1027
00:33:54,504 --> 00:33:55,671
with those issues. It has not

1028
00:33:55,671 --> 00:33:56,272
been that long ago that we

1029
00:33:56,272 --> 00:33:58,672
were finding an Islamic

1030
00:33:59,643 --> 00:34:01,344
slaughterhouse. We stopped it.

1031
00:34:01,344 --> 00:34:04,944
But now there might be a

1032
00:34:06,490 --> 00:34:06,716
mosque. So please research and

1033
00:34:06,716 --> 00:34:07,283
listen before approving all

1034
00:34:07,283 --> 00:34:08,484
these cuties and over

1035
00:34:08,484 --> 00:34:09,552
developments in our city.

1036
00:34:09,552 --> 00:34:11,487
Please remember that the

1037
00:34:11,487 --> 00:34:14,487
citizens voted for you respect

1038
00:34:15,225 --> 00:34:15,892
and listen to them. I support

1039
00:34:15,892 --> 00:34:17,760
the Free Garden Act. People

1040
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:18,461
should be allowed to grow a

1041
00:34:18,461 --> 00:34:21,698
garden blast and have a great

1042
00:34:21,698 --> 00:34:24,980
night. Michelle Wilson is

1043
00:34:30,390 --> 00:34:30,707
next.

1044
00:34:30,707 --> 00:34:31,307
>> Good evening. My name is

1045
00:34:31,307 --> 00:34:33,707
Michelle Wilson and my

1046
00:34:33,876 --> 00:34:36,276
addresses on file. Since

1047
00:34:37,747 --> 00:34:39,616
JANUARY. The 12th we have had

1048
00:34:39,616 --> 00:34:40,316
a business that has moved into

1049
00:34:40,316 --> 00:34:42,316
the residential neighborhood

1050
00:34:42,518 --> 00:34:46,118
of Panama Terrace. I have made

1051
00:34:46,389 --> 00:34:47,570
23 my Jax reports to report a

1052
00:34:47,570 --> 00:34:48,357
noise nuisance not having a

1053
00:34:48,357 --> 00:34:50,930
fence around their swimming

1054
00:34:50,930 --> 00:34:52,395
pool invasion of my privacy

1055
00:34:52,395 --> 00:34:53,196
when they removed brush

1056
00:34:53,196 --> 00:34:54,564
building on the property line

1057
00:34:54,564 --> 00:34:56,966
have been an illegal business

1058
00:34:56,966 --> 00:34:58,802
and a food truck and now

1059
00:34:58,802 --> 00:35:01,204
dumping pull water in my

1060
00:35:01,204 --> 00:35:02,772
backyard. Last Friday, a city

1061
00:35:02,772 --> 00:35:03,473
employee actually came out and

1062
00:35:03,473 --> 00:35:06,476
did a reading found out that

1063
00:35:06,476 --> 00:35:07,744
they were in violation of the

1064
00:35:07,744 --> 00:35:09,679
noise ordinance. I've made 4

1065
00:35:09,679 --> 00:35:11,948
calls to alcohol, tobacco,

1066
00:35:11,948 --> 00:35:12,816
firearms. I've been to to ask

1067
00:35:12,816 --> 00:35:16,520
a lawyer events where I was

1068
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:17,870
told that maybe I might try

1069
00:35:17,870 --> 00:35:17,788
the media investigative

1070
00:35:17,788 --> 00:35:20,188
reporter Anthony Austin came

1071
00:35:20,623 --> 00:35:22,792
out and did a report and now

1072
00:35:22,792 --> 00:35:24,494
I'm on an hbo documentary

1073
00:35:24,494 --> 00:35:26,329
about neighbors I've made. 24

1074
00:35:26,329 --> 00:35:27,430
caused the for illegal

1075
00:35:27,430 --> 00:35:30,430
parking. Almost got hit twice

1076
00:35:30,467 --> 00:35:31,167
by wrong-way drivers going

1077
00:35:31,167 --> 00:35:33,567
northbound in the southbound

1078
00:35:34,204 --> 00:35:35,104
lane North Pearl Street as

1079
00:35:35,104 --> 00:35:38,474
well as not being able to see

1080
00:35:38,474 --> 00:35:39,509
a left turn to turn on my own

1081
00:35:39,509 --> 00:35:41,511
street. No, I've been told

1082
00:35:41,511 --> 00:35:43,713
that no one has a decibel

1083
00:35:43,713 --> 00:35:44,547
reader. None of the jso and

1084
00:35:44,547 --> 00:35:48,217
then jso even told me by my

1085
00:35:48,217 --> 00:35:49,180
own decibel reader. And then I

1086
00:35:49,180 --> 00:35:50,987
was told that it was up to jso

1087
00:35:50,987 --> 00:35:53,122
whether they get a citation or

1088
00:35:53,122 --> 00:35:54,157
not. So city council can save

1089
00:35:54,157 --> 00:35:54,791
money if the city is the one

1090
00:35:54,791 --> 00:35:56,791
buying citations because

1091
00:35:57,727 --> 00:36:00,563
they're not reading them. I

1092
00:36:00,563 --> 00:36:01,531
was informed that there's one

1093
00:36:01,531 --> 00:36:02,265
lieutenant district, that has

1094
00:36:02,265 --> 00:36:02,932
been trained. But no one seems

1095
00:36:02,932 --> 00:36:06,403
to know who that is or when

1096
00:36:06,403 --> 00:36:09,500
they work. 7 months ago, a

1097
00:36:09,500 --> 00:36:09,973
news for Jax Officer Christian

1098
00:36:09,973 --> 00:36:10,606
Hancock showed a decibel

1099
00:36:10,606 --> 00:36:12,875
reader and said what the

1100
00:36:12,875 --> 00:36:14,911
citizen should do. There's

1101
00:36:14,911 --> 00:36:16,746
even a fire on the city's

1102
00:36:16,746 --> 00:36:18,715
website of what to do when you

1103
00:36:18,715 --> 00:36:20,550
have noise, nuisance,

1104
00:36:20,550 --> 00:36:22,950
neighbors. I've made 2 calls

1105
00:36:23,786 --> 00:36:26,786
to my beloved COUNCILWOMAN I

1106
00:36:27,324 --> 00:36:28,240
love seeing your face. Photo

1107
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:31,240
ops ribbon cutting in awards.

1108
00:36:31,261 --> 00:36:33,363
But we need your help over in

1109
00:36:33,363 --> 00:36:34,498
Panama Terrace. We have been

1110
00:36:34,498 --> 00:36:37,498
terrorized by city bricks at

1111
00:36:38,101 --> 00:36:39,502
68. 43 North Pearl Street

1112
00:36:39,502 --> 00:36:40,637
since JANUARY. And they're not

1113
00:36:40,637 --> 00:36:41,671
registered as a business.

1114
00:36:41,671 --> 00:36:44,671
Anderson Biz. I don't know

1115
00:36:45,410 --> 00:36:45,742
what else to do when I go in

1116
00:36:45,742 --> 00:36:48,440
my backyard because I believe

1117
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,682
in the free to Garden act, I'm

1118
00:36:51,682 --> 00:36:52,582
trying to get edible

1119
00:36:52,582 --> 00:36:53,283
schoolyard for individuals and

1120
00:36:53,283 --> 00:36:54,584
special needs. But I can't go

1121
00:36:54,584 --> 00:36:58,184
in my backyard. The music is

1122
00:36:58,255 --> 00:36:58,888
just that loud. They think

1123
00:36:58,888 --> 00:37:00,157
they see me and they yell

1124
00:37:00,157 --> 00:37:02,557
after Michelle across the

1125
00:37:02,558 --> 00:37:04,194
fence, the neighbors, if we

1126
00:37:04,194 --> 00:37:05,862
call to get the noise turned

1127
00:37:05,862 --> 00:37:07,731
out. And one night when I was

1128
00:37:07,731 --> 00:37:10,701
working and I wasn't even

1129
00:37:10,701 --> 00:37:11,368
there, threatened my house up,

1130
00:37:11,368 --> 00:37:13,570
which makes my daughter not

1131
00:37:13,570 --> 00:37:15,539
want to go to sleep at night.

1132
00:37:15,539 --> 00:37:17,400
So I'm asking for some kind of

1133
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,710
help. I'm going to be writing

1134
00:37:19,710 --> 00:37:21,110
to the mayor and a jso, but we

1135
00:37:21,110 --> 00:37:22,745
need some help. And from what

1136
00:37:22,745 --> 00:37:23,313
I'm getting from sheriffs,

1137

1166
00:38:32,382 --> 00:38:34,782
extensive legal precedent. And

1167
00:38:36,219 --> 00:38:36,820
best practices to drop on. Had

1168

1170
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:43,226

1171
00:38:43,226 --> 00:38:45,462
all of the following cities

1172
00:38:45,462 --> 00:38:46,329

Cincinnati in Pittsburgh. I

1193
00:39:38,315 --> 00:39:38,982
could go on for a long time.

1194
00:39:38,982 --> 00:39:41,318
Meanwhile, though, our own

1195
00:39:41,318 --> 00:39:43,487
comp plan says that the city

1196
00:39:43,487 --> 00:39:45,887
of Jacksonville, quote, Shall

1197
00:39:46,356 --> 00:39:48,356
encourage community gardens.

1198
00:39:48,492 --> 00:39:50,227
There are no zoning

1199
00:39:50,227 --> 00:39:52,627
definitions or permissions to

1200
00:39:53,530 --> 00:39:54,964
get that dictate lakes. It is

1201
00:39:54,964 --> 00:39:55,665
time we updated our zoning

1202
00:39:55,665 --> 00:39:57,701
code with the free to Garden

1203
00:39:57,701 --> 00:40:00,503
Act. We're not asking for the

1204
00:40:00,503 --> 00:40:02,405
world here. We're merely

1205
00:40:02,405 --> 00:40:04,307
asking for the legal

1206
00:40:04,307 --> 00:40:07,307
permission to grow food with

1207
00:40:07,977 --> 00:40:09,613
and for our neighbors. We

1208
00:40:09,613 --> 00:40:10,781
request that you pass the home

1209
00:40:10,781 --> 00:40:12,349
occupation bill with all

1210
00:40:12,349 --> 00:40:14,784
deliberate speed and then in

1211
00:40:14,784 --> 00:40:15,451
the coming days commit to

1212
00:40:15,451 --> 00:40:18,451
sponsor the Free to Garden

1213
00:40:19,689 --> 00:40:20,356
Act. Thank you so much. Thank

1214
00:40:20,356 --> 00:40:23,956
you, sir. Next we have are

1215
00:40:27,631 --> 00:40:28,965
with Thompson.

1216
00:40:28,965 --> 00:40:29,533
>> Good evening. My name is

1217
00:40:29,533 --> 00:40:31,933
Ruth Thompson. And my

1218
00:40:33,570 --> 00:40:35,439
information is on file. I rely

1219
00:40:35,439 --> 00:40:36,640
on the laws of the Florida

1220
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,400
Agriculture Department for my

1221
00:40:39,310 --> 00:40:40,210
business, which is be great

1222
00:40:40,210 --> 00:40:43,210
periods. It allows be keeping

1223
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:45,480
in the urban area. And I would

1224
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,448
like to see Jacksonville

1225
00:40:47,818 --> 00:40:48,885
passes. Same urban

1226
00:40:48,885 --> 00:40:50,120
agricultural rules for the

1227
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,556
free to Garden Act, allowing

1228
00:40:52,556 --> 00:40:56,156
people to farm and there are

1229
00:40:57,594 --> 00:41:00,430
urban area. One of the most

1230
00:41:00,430 --> 00:41:02,232
direct economic benefits urban

1231
00:41:02,232 --> 00:41:04,134
farming is the stimulation of

1232
00:41:04,134 --> 00:41:06,270
local economies through the

1233
00:41:06,270 --> 00:41:07,360
farmers markets. That's where

1234
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,720
my daughter and I who are

1235
00:41:09,720 --> 00:41:10,307
partners in our business and

1236
00:41:10,307 --> 00:41:10,907
beekeeping do. Most of our

1237
00:41:10,907 --> 00:41:13,907
work is in the farmers.

1238
00:41:14,845 --> 00:41:16,179
Markets. These markets create

1239
00:41:16,179 --> 00:41:19,179
a platform for urban farmers

1240
00:41:19,683 --> 00:41:20,884
to sell their produce directly

1241
00:41:20,884 --> 00:41:21,852
to consumers. Fostering a

1242
00:41:21,852 --> 00:41:22,419
direct economic link between

1243
00:41:22,419 --> 00:41:24,819
the producer and the

1244
00:41:27,223 --> 00:41:29,920
community. This is what people

1245
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,492
the citizens of Jacksonville

1246
00:41:33,229 --> 00:41:35,198
want they want local produce

1247
00:41:35,198 --> 00:41:35,899
local food to be able to

1248
00:41:35,899 --> 00:41:39,499
purchase and they want to buy

1249
00:41:39,936 --> 00:41:41,104
it from the producer. This

1250
00:41:41,104 --> 00:41:42,739
supports local agriculture and

1251
00:41:42,739 --> 00:41:44,775
encourages the growth of other

1252
00:41:44,775 --> 00:41:45,609
small businesses such as food

1253
00:41:45,609 --> 00:41:47,609
vendors, artisans and

1254
00:41:50,447 --> 00:41:52,349
craftspeople. Creating a

1255
00:41:52,349 --> 00:41:53,830
vibrant economy. And most of

1256
00:41:53,830 --> 00:41:56,830
the farmers markets, there are

1257
00:41:57,321 --> 00:41:58,188
not enough farmers, you know,

1258
00:41:58,188 --> 00:42:00,691
has it. The farm at the market

1259
00:42:00,691 --> 00:42:02,693
manager is always looking for

1260
00:42:02,693 --> 00:42:05,930
producers of agriculture. But

1261
00:42:06,300 --> 00:42:07,565
there are so limited. And one

1262
00:42:07,565 --> 00:42:11,670
of the things that I really

1263
00:42:11,670 --> 00:42:13,170
love about urban farming and

1264
00:42:13,170 --> 00:42:14,638
beekeeping is that it has a

1265
00:42:14,638 --> 00:42:17,638
relatively low entry level to

1266
00:42:17,875 --> 00:42:18,575
the agricultural journey. I

1267
00:42:18,575 --> 00:42:21,412
started our business with one

1268
00:42:21,412 --> 00:42:22,790
beehive. We now have 100.

1269
00:42:22,790 --> 00:42:24,715
People come to the farmers

1270
00:42:24,715 --> 00:42:25,416
market and they say I want to

1271
00:42:25,416 --> 00:42:27,450
visit your farm because what

1272
00:42:27,450 --> 00:42:30,420
do they think? Agriculture is

1273
00:42:30,420 --> 00:42:32,523
way out in the country. And I

1274
00:42:32,523 --> 00:42:35,526
say, well, my farm is in 25

1275
00:42:35,526 --> 00:42:37,294
people's yards throughout

1276
00:42:37,294 --> 00:42:38,596
Jacksonville, from the

1277
00:42:38,596 --> 00:42:40,397
beaches, Southside Deerwood

1278
00:42:40,397 --> 00:42:42,797
San marco Riverside, Murray

1279
00:42:43,267 --> 00:42:45,202
Hill, the Westside

1280
00:42:45,202 --> 00:42:46,136
Springfield. So I say maybe we

1281
00:42:46,136 --> 00:42:46,837
could spend that. You have to

1282
00:42:46,837 --> 00:42:49,600
ask the owner if you can come

1283
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,206
to the yard. But this is what

1284
00:42:53,511 --> 00:42:54,744
the future of agriculture

1285
00:42:54,744 --> 00:42:57,744
should be, that there's farms

1286
00:42:58,783 --> 00:43:00,618
throughout the whole city and

1287
00:43:00,618 --> 00:43:02,319
especially now I just ask you

1288
00:43:02,319 --> 00:43:04,355
to pass free to Garden Act.

1289
00:43:04,355 --> 00:43:04,955
Thank you,

1290
00:43:04,955 --> 00:43:06,955
>> Thanks. Thanks James

1291
00:43:15,933 --> 00:43:16,634
Weston. Good evening. My name

1292
00:43:16,634 --> 00:43:19,634
is James Weston addresses on

1293
00:43:20,537 --> 00:43:21,539
file. If you've been following

1294
00:43:21,539 --> 00:43:23,506
the recent news about the

1295
00:43:23,506 --> 00:43:24,108
parasite outbreak causing

1296
00:43:24,108 --> 00:43:24,808
explosive diarrhea, you

1297
00:43:24,808 --> 00:43:25,509
probably been paying a little

1298
00:43:25,509 --> 00:43:26,176
extra attention to where your

1299
00:43:26,176 --> 00:43:29,776
food comes from. I know I

1300
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:30,781
have. That's one of the

1301
00:43:30,781 --> 00:43:32,316
reasons I'm here tonight and

1302
00:43:32,316 --> 00:43:34,351
supported the free to Garden

1303
00:43:34,351 --> 00:43:35,719
Act. We should be making it

1304
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:36,386
easier instead of harder to

1305
00:43:36,386 --> 00:43:39,386
grow fresh, local food for

1306
00:43:40,491 --> 00:43:41,191
Jacksonville. Over the years,

1307
00:43:41,191 --> 00:43:41,892
I've help people grow food in

1308
00:43:41,892 --> 00:43:44,328
our community. And I've seen

1309
00:43:44,328 --> 00:43:45,329
the demand firsthand.

1310
00:43:45,329 --> 00:43:46,230
Community gardens have waiting

1311
00:43:46,230 --> 00:43:49,230
list. Families want access to

1312
00:43:50,660 --> 00:43:52,302
fresh local food and neighbors

1313
00:43:52,302 --> 00:43:52,970
are ready to turn vacant lots

1314
00:43:52,970 --> 00:43:55,839
into places with the people

1315
00:43:55,839 --> 00:43:56,473
instead of sitting unused.

1316
00:43:56,473 --> 00:43:58,873
Growing food should mean

1317
00:43:59,977 --> 00:44:01,879
finding red tape for years.

1318
00:44:01,879 --> 00:44:02,946
This is practical neighborhood

1319
00:44:02,946 --> 00:44:04,181
friendly legislation that

1320
00:44:04,181 --> 00:44:04,782
expands access to fresh food

1321
00:44:04,782 --> 00:44:07,782
and helps build a very

1322
00:44:07,918 --> 00:44:08,552
resilient Jacksonville.

1323
00:44:08,552 --> 00:44:09,853
Respectfully ask for your

1324
00:44:09,853 --> 00:44:10,687
support for the Free to Garden

1325
00:44:10,687 --> 00:44:11,288
Act. Thank you for your time

1326
00:44:11,288 --> 00:44:14,288
and your service to the

1327
00:44:14,525 --> 00:44:16,925
community. Thank you, sir.

1328
00:44:25,669 --> 00:44:26,870
Next we have. But it's Anders.

1329
00:44:26,870 --> 00:44:28,338
>> Hello, my name is Betty

1330
00:44:28,338 --> 00:44:29,720
Saunders and I live in the

1331
00:44:29,720 --> 00:44:31,472
Linley Aggro Park neighborhood

1332
00:44:31,908 --> 00:44:33,877
in my addresses on file. I'm

1333
00:44:33,877 --> 00:44:36,180
here tonight to support and

1334
00:44:36,180 --> 00:44:36,914
encourage the consideration.

1335
00:44:36,914 --> 00:44:39,316
Passage and sponsorship of the

1336
00:44:39,316 --> 00:44:42,316
free to Garnet. Which would

1337
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,822
allow. Community a market

1338
00:44:45,822 --> 00:44:47,240
gardens permissible by Wright

1339
00:44:47,240 --> 00:44:48,240
in Jacksonville. I want to add

1340
00:44:48,240 --> 00:44:49,326
to what Nathan earlier because

1341
00:44:49,326 --> 00:44:52,529
I just recently came back from

1342
00:44:52,529 --> 00:44:53,564
visiting family in Detroit and

1343
00:44:53,564 --> 00:44:56,667
they also have a free to

1344
00:44:56,667 --> 00:44:57,367
garden after equivalent and

1345
00:44:57,367 --> 00:45:00,300
they have a lot of community

1346
00:45:00,300 --> 00:45:01,205
gardens Perry's there.

1347
00:45:01,205 --> 00:45:01,972
Community gardens provide

1348
00:45:01,972 --> 00:45:02,639
fresh, healthy food to our

1349
00:45:02,639 --> 00:45:05,390
families and neighbors who

1350
00:45:05,309 --> 00:45:07,578
need it. Most. They encourage

1351
00:45:07,578 --> 00:45:09,578
physical activity, education,

1352
00:45:10,514 --> 00:45:11,181
they strengthen family bonds

1353
00:45:11,181 --> 00:45:13,850
and they enrich the social

1354
00:45:13,850 --> 00:45:15,186
fabric of our neighborhoods.

1355
00:45:15,186 --> 00:45:15,853
When I learned about the

1356
00:45:15,853 --> 00:45:18,253
challenges that Nathan and

1357
00:45:19,823 --> 00:45:22,223
overalls farm and other.

1358
00:45:23,961 --> 00:45:24,828
Similar things, similar farms

1359
00:45:24,828 --> 00:45:26,831
encountered. I was actually

1360
00:45:26,831 --> 00:45:28,799
shocked and disappointed that

1361
00:45:28,799 --> 00:45:29,834
organizations dedicated to

1362
00:45:29,834 --> 00:45:30,468
feeding our communities are

1363
00:45:30,468 --> 00:45:31,101
forced to navigate costly

1364
00:45:31,101 --> 00:45:33,101
administrative hurdles in

1365
00:45:35,390 --> 00:45:35,773
order to operate. The current

1366
00:45:35,773 --> 00:45:36,474
statute does protect the right

1367
00:45:36,474 --> 00:45:37,107
to grow food for personal

1368
00:45:37,107 --> 00:45:39,507
consumption, but does not

1369
00:45:41,511 --> 00:45:43,911
address. Gardens. Sale of

1370
00:45:45,749 --> 00:45:46,951
those things. The Free to

1371
00:45:46,951 --> 00:45:49,119
Garden Act addresses this gap

1372
00:45:49,119 --> 00:45:49,720
by creating a reasonable

1373
00:45:49,720 --> 00:45:51,655
framework for nonprofit

1374
00:45:51,655 --> 00:45:53,891
community gardens and local

1375
00:45:53,891 --> 00:45:55,392
market gardens and include

1376
00:45:55,392 --> 00:45:56,360
sensible standards for daytime

1377
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,328
operating hours, noise,

1378
00:45:58,328 --> 00:45:59,796
lighting and safe composting

1379
00:45:59,796 --> 00:46:00,664
practices so that these urban

1380
00:46:00,664 --> 00:46:03,664
gardens coexist in the current

1381
00:46:05,636 --> 00:46:06,903
neighborhoods. In my view,

1382
00:46:06,903 --> 00:46:07,971
requiring our Ben Gardner to

1383
00:46:07,971 --> 00:46:09,740
obtain a planned unit

1384
00:46:09,740 --> 00:46:11,375
development at a cost of

1385
00:46:11,375 --> 00:46:13,375
$5,000 to apply unnecessary

1386
00:46:15,460 --> 00:46:17,460
and prohibitive barrier.

1387
00:46:17,915 --> 00:46:19,915
Currently overalls farm

1388
00:46:22,190 --> 00:46:22,919
provides fresh food to about

1389
00:46:22,919 --> 00:46:24,210
120 families through its

1390
00:46:24,210 --> 00:46:25,890
subscription Mention how many

1391
00:46:25,890 --> 00:46:25,756
more families could benefit if

1392
00:46:25,756 --> 00:46:27,756
these unnecessary barriers

1393
00:46:29,193 --> 00:46:31,950
were removed. Rather than

1394
00:46:31,950 --> 00:46:32,230
making it harder for community

1395
00:46:32,230 --> 00:46:34,310
gardens to succeed, we should

1396
00:46:34,310 --> 00:46:34,732
be creating opportunities for

1397
00:46:34,732 --> 00:46:37,267
them to grow and state served

1398
00:46:37,267 --> 00:46:39,603
even more residents. I believe

1399
00:46:39,603 --> 00:46:40,404
the proposal also aligns with

1400
00:46:40,404 --> 00:46:42,873
the goals of the city's

1401
00:46:42,873 --> 00:46:43,474
developing state of the food

1402
00:46:43,474 --> 00:46:44,742
plan, which seeks to

1403
00:46:44,742 --> 00:46:47,142
strengthen our local food

1404
00:46:47,211 --> 00:46:47,745
system and improve for food

1405
00:46:47,745 --> 00:46:49,745
security throughout

1406
00:46:51,748 --> 00:46:52,583
Jacksonville. These gardens

1407
00:46:52,583 --> 00:46:54,619
teach useful life skills and

1408
00:46:54,619 --> 00:46:57,190
could even encourage younger

1409
00:46:58,656 --> 00:46:59,356
children. 2. Go to

1410
00:46:59,356 --> 00:47:01,356
Environmental Services. Thank

1411
00:47:01,592 --> 00:47:01,925
you for your time. Thank you,

1412
00:47:01,925 --> 00:47:02,559
ma'am.

1413
00:47:02,559 --> 00:47:04,959
>> Next they have. Those

1414
00:47:14,705 --> 00:47:15,672
Salinas. Good Evening City

1415
00:47:15,672 --> 00:47:16,406
Council. My name is Sarah

1416
00:47:16,406 --> 00:47:17,800
Salinas with the Jack. Some of

1417
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,444
the U.S. A chapter, my

1418
00:47:20,444 --> 00:47:21,546
addresses on file. I'm here

1419
00:47:21,546 --> 00:47:23,470
tonight to speak on the Free

1420
00:47:23,470 --> 00:47:23,647
to Garden Act, which aims to

1421
00:47:23,647 --> 00:47:24,882
make community gardens

1422
00:47:24,882 --> 00:47:26,516
permissible by-right in

1423
00:47:26,516 --> 00:47:27,418
Jacksonville. I have many

1424
00:47:27,418 --> 00:47:28,118
friends and family and my

1425
00:47:28,118 --> 00:47:30,354
communities that lack access

1426
00:47:30,354 --> 00:47:31,589
to affordable groceries, the

1427
00:47:31,589 --> 00:47:33,157
prevalence of food deserts and

1428
00:47:33,157 --> 00:47:34,324
the lack of accessible transit

1429
00:47:34,324 --> 00:47:36,226
creates hard barriers for the

1430
00:47:36,226 --> 00:47:37,228
disabled elderly and

1431
00:47:37,228 --> 00:47:39,290
overworked, the ability to

1432
00:47:39,290 --> 00:47:39,997
create a growing space in our

1433
00:47:39,997 --> 00:47:41,232
neighborhoods to feed

1434
00:47:41,232 --> 00:47:41,865
ourselves. And our neighbors

1435
00:47:41,865 --> 00:47:42,767
alleviates the stress and

1436
00:47:42,767 --> 00:47:44,468
financial burden of traveling

1437
00:47:44,468 --> 00:47:48,680
to a grocery for basic foods.

1438
00:47:49,607 --> 00:47:50,308
Doubles fruits and herbs. Our

1439
00:47:50,308 --> 00:47:51,776
organization spent 11 months

1440
00:47:51,776 --> 00:47:52,776
waiting on documentation that

1441
00:47:52,776 --> 00:47:53,978
allowed us to grow food in a

1442
00:47:53,978 --> 00:47:55,779
location. We already have

1443
00:47:55,779 --> 00:47:56,748
permission to grow from the

1444
00:47:56,748 --> 00:47:58,782
property manager. Now the

1445
00:47:58,782 --> 00:48:00,317
garden produces peppers,

1446
00:48:00,317 --> 00:48:00,918
tomatoes, beans, various herbs

1447
00:48:00,918 --> 00:48:01,618
and sunflowers for the

1448
00:48:01,618 --> 00:48:03,618
neighborhood. Residents even

1449
00:48:05,220 --> 00:48:06,657
enjoy. As the price of basic

1450
00:48:06,657 --> 00:48:07,391
groceries rises and financial

1451
00:48:07,391 --> 00:48:10,194
burdens MAY cause less able to

1452
00:48:10,194 --> 00:48:10,862
satisfy our own needs.

1453
00:48:10,862 --> 00:48:11,462
Community led Garden would

1454
00:48:11,462 --> 00:48:12,129
materially improve our

1455
00:48:12,129 --> 00:48:14,129
independence sustainability

1456
00:48:14,798 --> 00:48:16,501
and health. This is a

1457
00:48:16,501 --> 00:48:18,501
neighborhood friendly common

1458
00:48:18,703 --> 00:48:19,403
sense legislation that builds

1459
00:48:19,403 --> 00:48:20,700
upon regional state and local

1460
00:48:20,700 --> 00:48:20,771
policy foundation's. And I

1461
00:48:20,771 --> 00:48:23,207
urge you to consider the free

1462
00:48:23,207 --> 00:48:24,808
to Garden Act. As a step in

1463
00:48:24,808 --> 00:48:25,510
the right direction to improve

1464
00:48:25,510 --> 00:48:28,510
the lives of our communities

1465
00:48:29,247 --> 00:48:29,880
in the city. I would also like

1466
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:31,181
to oppose any honoring of

1467
00:48:31,181 --> 00:48:32,516
Charlie Kirk as he was a

1468
00:48:32,516 --> 00:48:33,250
hateful bigot who weaponized

1469
00:48:33,250 --> 00:48:34,151
people's fear and ignorance to

1470
00:48:34,151 --> 00:48:35,520
normalize oppression of

1471
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,452
minorities all over this

1472
00:48:38,556 --> 00:48:41,556
country. Thank Thank u next.

1473
00:48:42,260 --> 00:48:42,960
We have Laura Heath. It.

1474
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:43,661
>> In the meantime, moment of

1475
00:48:43,661 --> 00:48:45,762
I the phone to come come down

1476
00:48:45,762 --> 00:48:48,762
to the front, please Duchy

1478
00:48:53,304 --> 00:48:54,710
Samantha Series, Dennis got

and Laura Murray permit you to

1480
00:48:54,772 --> 00:48:56,400
please come down to the front

1481
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,440
and appreciate it. Speaking

1482
00:49:00,711 --> 00:49:01,313
that.

1483
00:49:01,313 --> 00:49:02,313
>> Hi, my name is Laura

1484
00:49:02,313 --> 00:49:05,313
McKeithen and my addresses on

1485
00:49:06,517 --> 00:49:07,719
file. I live in Springfield. I

1486
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,530
support the Garden Act for so

1487
00:49:09,530 --> 00:49:11,530
many reasons. Most

1488
00:49:11,722 --> 00:49:12,523
importantly, it makes sense

1489
00:49:12,523 --> 00:49:14,923
for communities, especially in

1490
00:49:15,860 --> 00:49:17,610
times of economic challenge. I

1491
00:49:17,610 --> 00:49:20,798
am so lucky to live where a

1492
00:49:20,798 --> 00:49:23,198
neighbor Nathan. Tim's nearby

1493
00:49:24,601 --> 00:49:26,237
Gardens daily. I pick fresh

1494
00:49:26,237 --> 00:49:27,538
vegetables, spices, even

1495
00:49:27,538 --> 00:49:30,538
flowers on a daily basis

1496
00:49:30,775 --> 00:49:32,910
throughout the year. I do not

1497
00:49:32,910 --> 00:49:34,579
rely on driving to a grocery

1498
00:49:34,579 --> 00:49:36,979
store seriously. I almost

1499
00:49:38,882 --> 00:49:40,551
never go to the grocery store.

1500
00:49:40,551 --> 00:49:41,285
There is always something in

1501
00:49:41,285 --> 00:49:43,687
season in Jacksonville. We are

1502
00:49:43,687 --> 00:49:46,687
so lucky. With support of

1503
00:49:47,491 --> 00:49:48,158
officials like you tended

1504
00:49:48,158 --> 00:49:49,227
community gardens like ours

1505
00:49:49,227 --> 00:49:50,361
will become the model for

1506
00:49:50,361 --> 00:49:51,462
other cities seeking to better

1507
00:49:51,462 --> 00:49:54,462
the welfare of their season.

1508
00:49:54,799 --> 00:49:57,199
Their citizens. In fun,

1509
00:49:57,635 --> 00:49:58,503
healthy and engaging ways

1510
00:49:58,503 --> 00:50:01,271
regardless of the ups and

1511
00:50:01,271 --> 00:50:04,410
downs of the economy. I

1512
00:50:04,410 --> 00:50:06,441
appreciate your support for

1513
00:50:06,444 --> 00:50:10,440
this. And like last before me.

1514
00:50:10,247 --> 00:50:11,148
I am not in favor of Charlie

1515
00:50:11,148 --> 00:50:14,148
Kirk Act being associated with

1516
00:50:15,186 --> 00:50:17,586
the city. Thank you.

1517
00:50:22,993 --> 00:50:23,694
>> This but you Stevens.

1518
00:50:23,694 --> 00:50:26,940
>> Good evening Stevens, the

1519
00:50:28,132 --> 00:50:29,867
addresses on file. Hearing all

1520
00:50:29,867 --> 00:50:30,801
come in and talking about

1521
00:50:30,801 --> 00:50:31,469
these guns and stuff. But you

1522
00:50:31,469 --> 00:50:33,700
get to Munich contaminated

1523
00:50:33,700 --> 00:50:35,173
e-cigarette. We did used all

1524
00:50:35,173 --> 00:50:38,309
this led to still coming with

1525
00:50:38,309 --> 00:50:40,344
poison. Used to. I would

1526
00:50:40,344 --> 00:50:42,647
Garner to y'all get on public

1527
00:50:42,647 --> 00:50:44,982
works about getting on a jaw

1528
00:50:44,982 --> 00:50:45,816
digging in cleaning that these

1529
00:50:45,816 --> 00:50:48,586
ditches and then cut and they

1530
00:50:48,586 --> 00:50:51,189
were 3 months. It just seems

1531
00:50:51,189 --> 00:50:54,125
everything is we have. Voted

1532
00:50:54,125 --> 00:50:55,326
with the Democratic mayor.

1533
00:50:55,326 --> 00:50:57,929
We've seen too much from going

1534
00:50:57,929 --> 00:50:59,196
on with the city. By the way,

1535
00:50:59,196 --> 00:51:01,432
cheese not being moment in

1536
00:51:01,432 --> 00:51:04,432
could according to the federal

1537
00:51:05,136 --> 00:51:05,736
Law of Environmental

1538
00:51:05,736 --> 00:51:06,470
Protection. So if your

1539
00:51:06,470 --> 00:51:08,673
environment and grousing safe,

1540
00:51:08,673 --> 00:51:09,407
then a front loader in GOD.

1541
00:51:09,407 --> 00:51:11,776
Kind of give them contaminated

1542
00:51:11,776 --> 00:51:13,511
food poisoning. Because these

1543
00:51:13,511 --> 00:51:15,546
ditches a spanking up the

1544
00:51:15,546 --> 00:51:17,946
community. And I'm telling

1545
00:51:20,584 --> 00:51:22,453
you. And I have sent accounts

1546
00:51:22,453 --> 00:51:23,540
of, you know, and not

1547
00:51:23,540 --> 00:51:23,654
district. She got moved

1548
00:51:23,654 --> 00:51:25,654
contaminated ditches in

1549
00:51:26,123 --> 00:51:26,825
district. Tina thing network

1550
00:51:26,825 --> 00:51:27,492
is that we'll see that nasa

1551
00:51:27,492 --> 00:51:31,920
put the words in moment and

1552
00:51:31,195 --> 00:51:31,862
couldn't. They're not doing

1553
00:51:31,862 --> 00:51:34,262
their job. Maintaining the

1554
00:51:34,899 --> 00:51:36,434
city government grounds. And

1555
00:51:36,434 --> 00:51:37,134
when you say enough is enough,

1556
00:51:37,134 --> 00:51:40,734
we MAY have the bar PRESIDENT

1557
00:51:40,905 --> 00:51:42,673
Donald Trump. To get the

1558
00:51:42,673 --> 00:51:43,374
federal lawsuit for public

1559
00:51:43,374 --> 00:51:45,143
issues and federal government

1560
00:51:45,143 --> 00:51:45,843
bonds, but that grounds and

1561
00:51:45,843 --> 00:51:49,443
not safe right could you get

1562
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:50,214
too many contaminated c d

1563
00:51:50,214 --> 00:51:52,250
right away. Ditches due out at

1564
00:51:52,250 --> 00:51:54,385
and we got to get the ball

1565
00:51:54,385 --> 00:51:54,985
rolling. I know they don't use

1566
00:51:54,985 --> 00:51:55,686
the prison inmates Nomo

1567
00:51:55,686 --> 00:51:59,657
because a lot of them used to

1568
00:51:59,657 --> 00:52:00,859
run off and try the skate some

1569
00:52:00,859 --> 00:52:01,859
years ago when John was at

1570
00:52:01,859 --> 00:52:04,695
sheriff. So they came bar to

1571
00:52:04,695 --> 00:52:06,831
prison inmates Nomo to help

1572
00:52:06,831 --> 00:52:07,865
public words. You know, the

1573
00:52:07,865 --> 00:52:08,566
mowing could indeed in coming

1574
00:52:08,566 --> 00:52:09,466
out to do just They did have

1575
00:52:09,466 --> 00:52:13,660
some that did try to skate

1576
00:52:14,105 --> 00:52:15,206
some years ago. And that's why

1577
00:52:15,206 --> 00:52:15,906
the king use know Monet was

1578
00:52:15,906 --> 00:52:19,506
coming from the people not to

1579
00:52:20,411 --> 00:52:24,481
do. So. I don't know what but

1580
00:52:24,481 --> 00:52:25,150
de just And I think we're

1581
00:52:25,150 --> 00:52:27,518
gonna have to get PRESIDENT

1582
00:52:27,518 --> 00:52:30,518
Donald Trump in Vol. Because

1583
00:52:32,624 --> 00:52:33,324
vote more Republican Democrat.

1584
00:52:33,324 --> 00:52:34,580
But it just seems like we're

1585
00:52:34,580 --> 00:52:34,792
not getting that. We don't see

1586
00:52:34,792 --> 00:52:38,392
the city maintain a grounds in

1587
00:52:39,530 --> 00:52:41,399
a moment and cooked. I think

1588
00:52:41,399 --> 00:52:43,601
we need a bad job. Pettis

1589
00:52:43,601 --> 00:52:44,435
back. We need to find a decent

1590
00:52:44,435 --> 00:52:45,570
meal that qualified for the

1591
00:52:45,570 --> 00:52:48,570
position, not a female. Thank

1592
00:52:51,276 --> 00:52:51,976
you.

1593
00:52:51,976 --> 00:52:55,576

1597
00:53:04,455 --> 00:53:05,156
I'm is as strong Smith. My

1598
00:53:05,156 --> 00:53:08,756
address is on record and I'm

1599
00:53:10,494 --> 00:53:13,494
in District 13. I over also

1600
00:53:13,998 --> 00:53:14,699
support the for Garden Act.

1601
00:53:14,699 --> 00:53:18,136
The goal I'm here tonight to

1602
00:53:18,136 --> 00:53:18,970
support and encourage if got

1603
00:53:18,970 --> 00:53:22,570
which I which will take will

1604
00:53:22,807 --> 00:53:24,750
make the community and market

1605
00:53:24,750 --> 00:53:26,475
permissible by rights in

1606
00:53:27,178 --> 00:53:27,912
Jacksonville, 4, the

1607
00:53:27,912 --> 00:53:30,312
consideration of global supply

1608
00:53:30,314 --> 00:53:30,981
lines are disrupted. Food

1609
00:53:30,981 --> 00:53:34,519
prices are on the rise and

1610
00:53:34,519 --> 00:53:36,200
that the community. The local

1611
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,420
community and market gardeners

1612
00:53:38,757 --> 00:53:41,158
who are well a position to

1613
00:53:41,158 --> 00:53:42,960
help insulate us from these

1614
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:43,794
problems are starting from

1615
00:53:43,794 --> 00:53:45,794
growing groceries in

1616
00:53:48,990 --> 00:53:50,499
Jacksonville. To put a

1617
00:53:51,335 --> 00:53:54,538
personal spin on it. I am a

1618
00:53:54,538 --> 00:53:55,306
combat veteran that has served

1619
00:53:55,306 --> 00:53:57,442
myself. I if it wasn't for the

1620
00:53:57,442 --> 00:53:59,677
fellow guard partners that I

1621
00:53:59,677 --> 00:54:01,546
had in the past one half

1622
00:54:01,546 --> 00:54:02,513
years, I suffered a fire 2 and

1623
00:54:02,513 --> 00:54:03,247
half years ago. If I did not

1624
00:54:03,247 --> 00:54:03,914
have that support, I would not

1625
00:54:03,914 --> 00:54:05,583
be would be in front of you

1626
00:54:05,583 --> 00:54:08,286
today to ask for the

1627
00:54:08,286 --> 00:54:08,987
commission to push it forward

1628
00:54:08,987 --> 00:54:11,489
as fellow veterans that also

1629
00:54:11,489 --> 00:54:13,658
service in the community, a

1630
00:54:13,658 --> 00:54:14,592
plant club operator at our

1631
00:54:14,592 --> 00:54:15,259
around Academy. I help the

1632
00:54:15,259 --> 00:54:18,259
children learn how to grow

1633
00:54:18,363 --> 00:54:19,731
their own fruit at the

1634
00:54:19,731 --> 00:54:20,532
elementary students that are

1635
00:54:20,532 --> 00:54:21,232
there. I will take up too much

1636
00:54:21,232 --> 00:54:22,600
for you time. It is important

1637
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:24,535
for us to be able to grow

1638
00:54:24,535 --> 00:54:25,202
food. If I'm not able to be at

1639
00:54:25,202 --> 00:54:25,870
the school, these young

1640
00:54:25,870 --> 00:54:27,272
people, they don't have the

1641
00:54:27,272 --> 00:54:29,107
access to learn. New skill

1642
00:54:29,107 --> 00:54:29,774
set. You don't have access to

1643
00:54:29,774 --> 00:54:30,407
know where their food comes

1644
00:54:30,407 --> 00:54:32,810
from. You know, have the

1645
00:54:32,810 --> 00:54:36,410
access to have extra food to

1646
00:54:36,781 --> 00:54:37,648
come into there, economic

1647
00:54:37,648 --> 00:54:38,783
functioning in their

1648
00:54:38,783 --> 00:54:39,450
household, which their parents

1649
00:54:39,450 --> 00:54:40,117
did not know they could do

1650
00:54:40,117 --> 00:54:41,219
until they were able to sit

1651
00:54:41,219 --> 00:54:45,419
with me at the school. So if

1652
00:54:47,910 --> 00:54:47,926
you could please do your Kylie

1653
00:54:47,926 --> 00:54:49,661
and respectfully, I consider

1654
00:54:49,661 --> 00:54:52,661
Co sponsoring the free to

1655
00:54:53,765 --> 00:54:54,499
garnet so that we and also

1656
00:54:54,499 --> 00:54:55,199
passed the whole iq Patient id

1657
00:54:55,199 --> 00:54:55,866
great. They're very grateful.

1658
00:54:55,866 --> 00:54:58,303
Thank you for your service.

1659
00:54:58,303 --> 00:55:00,404
Have a great day.

1660
00:55:00,404 --> 00:55:01,720
>> Thank you, Thank you for

1661
00:55:01,720 --> 00:55:04,720
your service. Next we have

1662
00:55:08,646 --> 00:55:09,347
Samantha Series.

1663
00:55:09,347 --> 00:55:10,470
>> Samantha Series address on

1664
00:55:10,470 --> 00:55:12,884
file. I'm here to talk to you

1665
00:55:12,884 --> 00:55:14,850
today about over development.

1666
00:55:14,850 --> 00:55:15,190
I understand that Jacksonville

1667
00:55:15,190 --> 00:55:15,954
is a growing city. I just

1668
00:55:15,954 --> 00:55:19,324
think that we could do a

1669
00:55:19,324 --> 00:55:21,126
little bit more responsible

1670
00:55:21,126 --> 00:55:21,793
development where take

1671
00:55:21,793 --> 00:55:23,160
abandoned buildings and the

1672
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:25,697
lot and use those as places

1673
00:55:25,697 --> 00:55:26,564
that could you have mixed use

1674
00:55:26,564 --> 00:55:27,264
housing you know, maybe the

1675
00:55:27,264 --> 00:55:29,334
community gardens can be part

1676
00:55:29,334 --> 00:55:30,334
of it, too.

1677
00:55:30,334 --> 00:55:31,802
>> It would be a great time to

1678
00:55:31,802 --> 00:55:32,437
have some walkable areas.

1679
00:55:32,437 --> 00:55:33,905
Doesn't have to be all of

1680
00:55:33,905 --> 00:55:36,905
Jacksonville. Of course. But I

1681
00:55:37,708 --> 00:55:39,770
think it's important that we

1682
00:55:39,770 --> 00:55:39,811
start honing in on our

1683
00:55:39,811 --> 00:55:42,811
developers to, you know, maybe

1684
00:55:42,980 --> 00:55:43,681
encourage them to go towards

1685
00:55:43,681 --> 00:55:46,451
places that are already torn

1686
00:55:46,451 --> 00:55:47,752
down already. Dilapidated, you

1687
00:55:47,752 --> 00:55:49,621
know, and because I know the

1688
00:55:49,621 --> 00:55:51,155
development is continuing. It

1689
00:55:51,155 --> 00:55:53,124
obviously we cannot stop

1690
00:55:53,124 --> 00:55:55,160
growing. We need to keep

1691
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:56,600
growing. I think it's

1692
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:57,950
important that maybe Jay

1693
00:55:57,950 --> 00:55:57,762
starts looking into Solomons

1694
00:55:57,762 --> 00:56:00,162
Ation because we're running

1695
00:56:01,990 --> 00:56:03,100
out of water. Yes, our prefer

1696
00:56:03,100 --> 00:56:04,903
is being over, drained

1697
00:56:04,903 --> 00:56:06,537
constantly because of us in

1698
00:56:06,537 --> 00:56:07,238
Florida and 90% of

1699
00:56:07,238 --> 00:56:09,638
Jacksonville gets their water

1700
00:56:10,408 --> 00:56:11,610
from the Florida aquifer.

1701
00:56:11,610 --> 00:56:12,910
That's right. And because we

1702
00:56:12,910 --> 00:56:13,845
have over Del developed so

1703
00:56:13,845 --> 00:56:15,714
much, we get a lot of runoff.

1704
00:56:15,714 --> 00:56:17,348
That runoff goes into our

1705
00:56:17,348 --> 00:56:20,218
water into our streams into

1706
00:56:20,218 --> 00:56:21,720
our rivers and it does not get

1707
00:56:21,720 --> 00:56:23,788
to be so 3rd through the

1708
00:56:23,788 --> 00:56:24,489
ground because we have

1709
00:56:24,489 --> 00:56:25,891
developed it. So now we have

1710
00:56:25,891 --> 00:56:27,891
contaminated water. That's

1711
00:56:28,226 --> 00:56:28,926
great. So I think maybe

1712
00:56:28,926 --> 00:56:30,610
Jamie's looking sell it as a

1713
00:56:30,610 --> 00:56:30,995
shunt because that's where

1714
00:56:30,995 --> 00:56:33,995
we're headed. I also think

1715
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:36,467
that jta should.

1716
00:56:36,467 --> 00:56:38,867
>> Pressure some companies to

1717
00:56:38,970 --> 00:56:40,972
take the very hot parking lots

1718
00:56:40,972 --> 00:56:41,773
that are dead Heat zone

1719
00:56:41,773 --> 00:56:43,410
really.

1720
00:56:43,410 --> 00:56:45,441
>> And make them partially

1721
00:56:46,378 --> 00:56:48,680
covered with solar panels that

1722
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:50,415
would help with the community

1723
00:56:50,415 --> 00:56:52,250
cost of energy and south

1724
00:56:52,250 --> 00:56:54,586
continually making our prices

1725
00:56:54,586 --> 00:56:55,253
go up. I do understand they

1726
00:56:55,253 --> 00:56:56,870
have some projects to cover

1727
00:56:56,870 --> 00:56:56,788
with the gas plant that they

1728
00:56:56,788 --> 00:56:58,790
need to build and everything

1729
00:56:58,790 --> 00:57:00,191
like that. But maybe we could

1730
00:57:00,191 --> 00:57:02,591
start encouraging these larger

1731
00:57:02,694 --> 00:57:06,294
come. Need to have these huge

1732
00:57:06,865 --> 00:57:07,565
empty lots that are just dead

1733
00:57:07,565 --> 00:57:08,199
space, their heat. So as you

1734
00:57:08,199 --> 00:57:08,899
know, do you like getting

1735
00:57:08,899 --> 00:57:10,100
burned when you go into your

1736
00:57:10,100 --> 00:57:10,702
car? Don't really enjoy that.

1737
00:57:10,702 --> 00:57:12,303
So it doesn't have to be the

1738
00:57:12,303 --> 00:57:14,305
whole parking area, you know,

1739
00:57:14,305 --> 00:57:16,341
just a partial one. Then it's

1740
00:57:16,341 --> 00:57:18,900
back and save our community

1741
00:57:18,900 --> 00:57:19,377
money. You know, it's all

1742
00:57:19,377 --> 00:57:21,213
about saving money. And, you

1743
00:57:21,213 --> 00:57:22,947
know, this property tax might

1744
00:57:22,947 --> 00:57:24,849
be coming up where we lose a

1745
00:57:24,849 --> 00:57:25,550
property taxes. When you start

1746
00:57:25,550 --> 00:57:26,384
looking into other ways that

1747
00:57:26,384 --> 00:57:27,520
we can generate money, Havre

1748
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:29,452
energy cheaper for our

1749
00:57:29,654 --> 00:57:31,722
communities and just, you

1750
00:57:31,722 --> 00:57:32,390
know, as always try to stop

1751
00:57:32,390 --> 00:57:34,390
that Overdevelopment. Thank

1752
00:57:34,425 --> 00:57:35,126
you.

1753
00:57:35,126 --> 00:57:38,726
>> Thank u next. And he's got

1754
00:57:49,574 --> 00:57:50,308
these.

1755
00:57:50,308 --> 00:57:51,900
>> Good evening. My name is

1756
00:57:51,900 --> 00:57:54,900
Denise Scott. My addresses on

1757
00:57:55,847 --> 00:57:56,681
file. We hope you all enjoy

1758
00:57:56,681 --> 00:57:57,382
time off and we hope you back

1759
00:57:57,382 --> 00:58:00,982
and let take care of business

1760
00:58:01,220 --> 00:58:01,920
for the people. But this being

1761
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,756
the first meeting and I know

1762
00:58:04,756 --> 00:58:06,291
council PRESIDENT The Holland,

1763
00:58:06,291 --> 00:58:07,250
how come asking that you

1764
00:58:07,250 --> 00:58:09,425
please restore public comments

1765
00:58:10,361 --> 00:58:11,396
back to 3 minutes. We have

1766
00:58:11,396 --> 00:58:13,498
council meetings twice a month

1767
00:58:13,498 --> 00:58:15,300
is this time your constituents

1768
00:58:15,300 --> 00:58:16,200
to have public access to this

1769
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:18,370
body. When you give you

1770
00:58:18,370 --> 00:58:19,570
instructions before comments

1771
00:58:19,570 --> 00:58:21,139
used always say that this is

1772
00:58:21,139 --> 00:58:23,740
the time to hear from the

1773
00:58:23,740 --> 00:58:23,775
public. We want you to hear

1774
00:58:23,775 --> 00:58:26,770
from us and we want 3 minutes

1775
00:58:26,770 --> 00:58:29,181
back. I don't know why. And I

1776
00:58:29,181 --> 00:58:29,915
don't know why it stopped when

1777
00:58:29,915 --> 00:58:33,840
it stopped, but we will not be

1778
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:34,520
minutes back. Please, as for

1779
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:35,253
this comment on council, as

1780
00:58:35,253 --> 00:58:36,788
you begin to have discussions,

1781
00:58:36,788 --> 00:58:39,188
consent of the mayor's

1782
00:58:39,457 --> 00:58:40,158
proposed budget. I'm asking

1783
00:58:40,158 --> 00:58:41,927
that this council, please try

1784
00:58:41,927 --> 00:58:42,961
think about the citizens of

1785
00:58:42,961 --> 00:58:44,462
this county and not just

1786
00:58:44,462 --> 00:58:46,462
special special interest

1787
00:58:47,632 --> 00:58:49,867
groups. I'm not Joe your own

1788
00:58:49,867 --> 00:58:50,836
selves since this mayor has

1789
00:58:50,836 --> 00:58:52,337
been in office. The majority

1790
00:58:52,337 --> 00:58:53,380
of this male dominated

1791
00:58:53,380 --> 00:58:55,438
Republican Council has fought

1792
00:58:56,542 --> 00:58:57,742
her on every time. Not many

1793
00:58:57,742 --> 00:58:59,778
times that you tried to come

1794
00:58:59,778 --> 00:59:02,848
together for the sake of the

1795
00:59:02,848 --> 00:59:04,449
people. Asking that you please

1796
00:59:04,449 --> 00:59:05,117
stop being so selfish, so

1797
00:59:05,117 --> 00:59:08,117
petty and put the people's

1798
00:59:08,620 --> 00:59:09,254
needs first for a change. When

1799
00:59:09,254 --> 00:59:09,955
you start discussing the

1800
00:59:09,955 --> 00:59:12,355
budget, please remember with

1801
00:59:12,757 --> 00:59:13,658
the bulk of this money goes,

1802
00:59:13,658 --> 00:59:15,160
we all understand that we need

1803
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:18,262
to have public safety as a

1804
00:59:18,262 --> 00:59:19,264
priority. But at what cost? I

1805
00:59:19,264 --> 00:59:19,965
know that this is not a

1806
00:59:19,965 --> 00:59:22,534
popular opinion, but it needs

1807
00:59:22,534 --> 00:59:23,534
to be said, I'm grateful for

1808
00:59:23,534 --> 00:59:26,534
the good offices that Beaumont

1809
00:59:27,172 --> 00:59:27,906
City City streets. But until

1810
00:59:27,906 --> 00:59:30,906
this council weighs in our

1811
00:59:32,778 --> 00:59:33,512
share offices teach them how

1812
00:59:33,512 --> 00:59:35,912
to have de-escalation training

1813
00:59:37,582 --> 00:59:38,850
instead of training and

1814
00:59:38,850 --> 00:59:39,784
Defense forces. This always

1815
00:59:39,784 --> 00:59:43,384
going to have to settle with

1816
00:59:43,688 --> 00:59:45,824
victims with their lawsuits.

1817
00:59:45,824 --> 00:59:47,250
Maybe just maybe if you let

1818
00:59:47,250 --> 00:59:47,693
the sheriff know that any

1819
00:59:47,693 --> 00:59:50,930
lawsuits, though, the come

1820
00:59:50,862 --> 00:59:52,730
from his budget their

1821
00:59:52,730 --> 00:59:53,865
pensions. And I'm not sure

1822
00:59:53,865 --> 00:59:56,467
what's going on with this one

1823
00:59:56,467 --> 00:59:57,102
on the on the Charlie Kirk. No

1824
00:59:57,102 --> 00:59:58,703
disrespect to anyone that

1825
00:59:58,703 --> 00:59:59,671
believes the mess. He said.

1826
00:59:59,671 --> 01:00:02,671
But I thought we were

1827
01:00:03,141 --> 01:00:03,842
finishing on here in his name.

1828
01:00:03,842 --> 01:00:04,543
The majority of the folks in

1829
01:00:04,543 --> 01:00:05,877
that went on in and what this

1830
01:00:05,877 --> 01:00:07,179
so much hate and

1831
01:00:07,179 --> 01:00:07,846
misinformation. Jacksonville

1832
01:00:07,846 --> 01:00:10,846
doesn't need to on another

1833
01:00:12,500 --> 01:00:13,785
races. And what's the premise?

1834
01:00:13,785 --> 01:00:14,352
>> Thanks to we have Larry

1835
01:00:14,352 --> 01:00:15,788
Demery Herman. In the

1836
01:00:15,788 --> 01:00:16,455
meantime, I would like to

1837
01:00:16,455 --> 01:00:18,560
fight the following to come

1838
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:20,959
forward and I forgive me on

1839
01:00:20,959 --> 01:00:24,559
this. I believe it's and that.

1840
01:00:25,831 --> 01:00:27,831
>> Arman. Jennifer Joyner.

1841
01:00:27,966 --> 01:00:29,966
Ronnie Burris. Addison

1842
01:00:32,604 --> 01:00:33,238
Liberty, Patrick. And direct

1843
01:00:33,238 --> 01:00:34,806
gregan on boy, I'm sorry,

1844
01:00:34,806 --> 01:00:37,806
Dragon boy. Go ahead. Miss

1845
01:00:38,844 --> 01:00:40,844
him.

1846
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:43,120
>> Good evening, PRESIDENT.

1847
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:44,149
Honorable councilmembers. My

1848
01:00:44,149 --> 01:00:44,983
name is learn. Every Herman,

1849
01:00:44,983 --> 01:00:46,851
I'm English teacher in the

1850
01:00:46,851 --> 01:00:48,520
District. My addresses on

1851
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:49,254
file. I'm here today to speak

1852
01:00:49,254 --> 01:00:51,489
in support of the free

1853
01:00:51,489 --> 01:00:53,758
kayaking act I would like to

1854
01:00:53,758 --> 01:00:55,270
ask you to date to think of

1855
01:00:55,270 --> 01:00:57,562
this act in terms of

1856
01:00:57,562 --> 01:00:58,730
communities in terms of

1857
01:00:58,730 --> 01:00:59,464
building community in terms of

1858
01:00:59,464 --> 01:01:01,464
communities putting prevention

1859
01:01:02,634 --> 01:01:03,334
to work. In particular,

1860
01:01:03,334 --> 01:01:05,236
putting prevention to work in

1861
01:01:05,236 --> 01:01:08,236
the form of food security.

1862
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:12,400
Which is more urgent than ever

1863
01:01:12,770 --> 01:01:13,979
from 2010 to 2 1012, I had the

1864
01:01:13,979 --> 01:01:14,746
opportunity to observe the

1865
01:01:14,746 --> 01:01:15,447
community's putting prevention

1866
01:01:15,447 --> 01:01:17,182
to work rent in action on the

1867
01:01:17,182 --> 01:01:20,180
island of Maui. Hawaii. As a

1868
01:01:20,180 --> 01:01:21,786
result of that grant over 32

1869
01:01:21,786 --> 01:01:22,621
gardens were planted across

1870
01:01:22,621 --> 01:01:25,190
the island which not only

1871
01:01:25,190 --> 01:01:27,590
resulted in food security,

1872
01:01:27,659 --> 01:01:30,590
obesity dropped by 30% tobacco

1873
01:01:31,796 --> 01:01:32,397
usage by 40%. The availability

1874
01:01:32,397 --> 01:01:33,165
of healthy food for the

1875
01:01:33,165 --> 01:01:35,565
community increase by almost

1876
01:01:38,337 --> 01:01:39,270
70%. These are big numbers I

1877
01:01:39,270 --> 01:01:41,139
believe that this type of

1878
01:01:41,139 --> 01:01:41,840
positive change can happen

1879
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:44,240
here. That putting prevention

1880
01:01:45,543 --> 01:01:46,311
to work. To building community

1881
01:01:46,311 --> 01:01:46,979
with the passage of the home

1882
01:01:46,979 --> 01:01:49,379
occupation Bill. Tonight in

1883
01:01:49,848 --> 01:01:50,482
the sponsorship for Garden Act

1884
01:01:50,482 --> 01:01:51,216
in the upcoming Sessions.

1885
01:01:51,216 --> 01:01:54,816
Thank you for your time. Thank

1886
01:01:56,154 --> 01:01:59,754
you. And please help me with

1887
01:02:03,620 --> 01:02:03,762
your last name.

1888
01:02:03,762 --> 01:02:05,530
>> So my name and address on

1889
01:02:05,530 --> 01:02:09,130
file and Annette Man on. Thank

1890
01:02:09,501 --> 01:02:11,102
you. All right. I'm a local

1891
01:02:11,102 --> 01:02:13,105
community organizer and I'm a

1892
01:02:13,105 --> 01:02:13,738
teacher and I support the Free

1893
01:02:13,738 --> 01:02:14,406
to Garden Act which makes

1894
01:02:14,406 --> 01:02:16,806
community a market gardens

1895
01:02:17,742 --> 01:02:18,977
permissible by right? A

1896
01:02:18,977 --> 01:02:21,246
teacher at Jean Ribault High

1897
01:02:21,246 --> 01:02:21,947
and I've seen firsthand the

1898
01:02:21,947 --> 01:02:22,647
benefit that gardening has on

1899
01:02:22,647 --> 01:02:23,282
our news. I was teaching one

1900
01:02:23,282 --> 01:02:24,160
day and there's something

1901
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:26,151
going on in the back of my

1902
01:02:26,151 --> 01:02:26,818
class trying to teach. Boy,

1903
01:02:26,818 --> 01:02:27,552
one student raises his hand

1904
01:02:27,552 --> 01:02:29,952
wanting water, tears streaming

1905
01:02:31,156 --> 01:02:32,290
down his face. They're all

1906
01:02:32,290 --> 01:02:33,225
laughing. Has been anointed

1907
01:02:33,225 --> 01:02:34,393
for some time Rose what they

1908
01:02:34,393 --> 01:02:35,600
had. A group of teenage boys

1909
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:37,696
had a hot pepper. They had

1910
01:02:37,696 --> 01:02:38,830
grown from the garden and I

1911
01:02:38,830 --> 01:02:40,732
went back there and I started

1912
01:02:40,732 --> 01:02:41,433
talking to them and the way

1913
01:02:41,433 --> 01:02:43,469
they lit up when they tell me

1914
01:02:43,469 --> 01:02:44,136
about how they grown it and

1915
01:02:44,136 --> 01:02:45,237
they were showing it to me,

1916
01:02:45,237 --> 01:02:46,504
like with so much pride. And,

1917
01:02:46,504 --> 01:02:47,506
you know, these boys are

1918
01:02:47,506 --> 01:02:49,941
usually life, you know, always

1919
01:02:49,941 --> 01:02:52,577
cause me trouble and whatnot.

1920
01:02:52,577 --> 01:02:54,379
But it's not so much more than

1921
01:02:54,379 --> 01:02:55,947
the food, especially for our

1922
01:02:55,947 --> 01:02:57,947
vulnerable youth in

1923
01:02:58,850 --> 01:02:59,852
Jacksonville. And I want for

1924
01:02:59,852 --> 01:03:00,552
all of the use of Jacksonville

1925
01:03:00,552 --> 01:03:03,989
to be able to experience that

1926
01:03:03,989 --> 01:03:04,789
joy. Only that, if you bring

1927
01:03:04,789 --> 01:03:06,158
that joy, you bring votes

1928
01:03:06,158 --> 01:03:08,127
because me and people with my

1929
01:03:08,127 --> 01:03:09,494
mindset, remember things like

1930
01:03:09,494 --> 01:03:10,195
this and we tend to be the

1931
01:03:10,195 --> 01:03:11,697
types of people that care and

1932
01:03:11,697 --> 01:03:12,431
off to vote and encourage

1933
01:03:12,431 --> 01:03:14,266
others to vote or even run for

1934
01:03:14,266 --> 01:03:16,902
office or sounds out in the

1935
01:03:16,902 --> 01:03:18,237
community. A lot. And I

1936
01:03:18,237 --> 01:03:20,171
promise this issue is of great

1937
01:03:20,171 --> 01:03:21,373
concern between groups who

1938
01:03:21,373 --> 01:03:22,400
otherwise MAY have nothing

1939
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:25,640
else in common as I'm sure,

1940
01:03:25,844 --> 01:03:26,878
you know, its name. I'm not

1941
01:03:26,878 --> 01:03:28,713
gonna take up too much of your

1942
01:03:28,713 --> 01:03:29,314
time. As you guys heard this a

1943
01:03:29,314 --> 01:03:30,820
million times, but just

1944
01:03:30,820 --> 01:03:32,918
observe the walks of life that

1945
01:03:32,918 --> 01:03:34,453
people are coming from and why

1946
01:03:34,453 --> 01:03:38,530
they support this bill. It's a

1947
01:03:39,658 --> 01:03:41,627
it's. Pretty popular. All

1948
01:03:41,627 --> 01:03:42,361
right. So we ask you to

1949
01:03:42,361 --> 01:03:43,280
occupation Bill tonight and in

1950
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:44,950
the coming days come in to

1951
01:03:44,950 --> 01:03:44,730
sponsor the for Garden next

1952
01:03:44,730 --> 01:03:45,531
week. A move forward for

1953
01:03:45,531 --> 01:03:47,700
filing an introduction. Thank

1954
01:03:47,700 --> 01:03:49,700
you so much.

1955
01:03:53,372 --> 01:03:55,772
>> Thank u Jennifer Joyner.

1956
01:03:56,342 --> 01:03:57,476
>> Council, my name is

1957
01:03:57,476 --> 01:03:58,677
Jennifer Joyner. I live in San

1958
01:03:58,677 --> 01:03:59,411
Suu seat. My addresses on file

1959
01:03:59,411 --> 01:04:02,747
and a member of the southeast.

1960
01:04:02,747 --> 01:04:04,383
Cpac. With the next fiscal

1961
01:04:04,383 --> 01:04:05,417
year's budget could in the

1962
01:04:05,417 --> 01:04:07,486
works on here tonight to speak

1963
01:04:07,486 --> 01:04:08,220
on the topic of animal welfare

1964
01:04:08,220 --> 01:04:08,921
in Jacksonville and

1965
01:04:08,921 --> 01:04:10,255
specifically regarding funds

1966
01:04:10,255 --> 01:04:11,389
to cover spay and neuter

1967
01:04:11,389 --> 01:04:12,891
surgeries we pray to GOD

1968
01:04:12,891 --> 01:04:14,159
before each of our city

1969
01:04:14,159 --> 01:04:16,610
council meetings. We are here

1970
01:04:16,610 --> 01:04:17,696
to be good stewards of GOD's

1971
01:04:17,696 --> 01:04:18,397
creatures. And while city has

1972
01:04:18,397 --> 01:04:19,640
tape taken steps in the right

1973
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:21,700
direction, we still have a

1974
01:04:21,700 --> 01:04:23,235
long way to go. Animal welfare

1975
01:04:23,235 --> 01:04:24,436
is hot on Floridians radar

1976
01:04:24,436 --> 01:04:25,337
right now. Governor DeSantis

1977
01:04:25,337 --> 01:04:26,400
has signed into effect several

1978
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,404
notable animal welfare laws

1979
01:04:29,408 --> 01:04:30,542
over the last couple of years.

1980
01:04:30,542 --> 01:04:31,276
More people are acknowledging

1981
01:04:31,276 --> 01:04:32,611
that we need to take better

1982
01:04:32,611 --> 01:04:33,245
care of all creatures, big and

1983
01:04:33,245 --> 01:04:35,814
small. If we want to be a

1984
01:04:35,814 --> 01:04:36,982
better society overall, one

1985
01:04:36,982 --> 01:04:37,683
major way we can impact this

1986
01:04:37,683 --> 01:04:40,386
is through trap neuter return

1987
01:04:40,386 --> 01:04:41,720
programs also known as t a r

1988
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:42,787
Jacksonville has an extensive

1989
01:04:42,787 --> 01:04:43,456
population of community cats

1990
01:04:43,456 --> 01:04:45,456
without human intervention.

1991
01:04:45,757 --> 01:04:46,425
Their fate is not always a

1992
01:04:46,425 --> 01:04:47,225
good one. Tnr is the humane

1993
01:04:47,225 --> 01:04:48,160
answer for control the

1994
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:50,560
population while helping the

1995
01:04:50,896 --> 01:04:52,197
community cats that are

1996
01:04:52,197 --> 01:04:52,898
already here control in this

1997
01:04:52,898 --> 01:04:53,999
population frees up resources

1998
01:04:53,999 --> 01:04:54,900
for already overwhelmed

1999
01:04:54,900 --> 01:04:55,567
shelters and rescues in our

2000
01:04:55,567 --> 01:04:57,569
city so they can help more

2001
01:04:57,569 --> 01:04:59,400
dogs and cats in need. The

2002
01:04:59,400 --> 01:04:59,604
city of Jacksonville has not

2003
01:04:59,604 --> 01:05:00,439
significantly increased

2004
01:05:00,439 --> 01:05:01,139
funding for spay neuter

2005
01:05:01,139 --> 01:05:03,539
programs like Duval Catholics

2006
01:05:03,775 --> 01:05:04,442
and many years despite rising

2007
01:05:04,442 --> 01:05:06,411
demand and increasing costs

2008
01:05:06,411 --> 01:05:08,470
associated with providing

2009
01:05:08,470 --> 01:05:08,714
these services as a result,

2010
01:05:08,714 --> 01:05:09,815
volunteer trappers must now

2011
01:05:09,815 --> 01:05:11,500
pay a fee for teen our

2012
01:05:11,500 --> 01:05:11,683
procedures. This will greatly

2013
01:05:11,683 --> 01:05:13,686
reduce the number of cats

2014
01:05:13,686 --> 01:05:14,920
brought in to be fixed. The

2015
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:15,654
chief of the cps has stated

2016
01:05:15,654 --> 01:05:17,456
that our city shelters working

2017
01:05:17,456 --> 01:05:19,291
hard to achieve no kill status

2018
01:05:19,291 --> 01:05:21,493
again. So to that end, we need

2019
01:05:21,493 --> 01:05:22,561
more funding for spay neuter

2020
01:05:22,561 --> 01:05:24,496
surgeries Jennifer Barker, the

2021
01:05:24,496 --> 01:05:25,264
ceo of every pet, a reasonable

2022
01:05:25,264 --> 01:05:25,998
request for additional trap.

2023
01:05:25,998 --> 01:05:28,998
Neuter return funding would be

2024
01:05:29,167 --> 01:05:32,167
in the range of a 10250,000.

2025
01:05:32,304 --> 01:05:32,871
Tnr programs such as Duval

2026
01:05:32,871 --> 01:05:33,472
Catholics continue to

2027
01:05:33,472 --> 01:05:34,173
demonstrate tremendous

2028
01:05:34,173 --> 01:05:35,407
community need with available

2029
01:05:35,407 --> 01:05:36,175
funding, often being

2030
01:05:36,175 --> 01:05:37,420
exhausted. Quickly and

2031
01:05:37,420 --> 01:05:38,810
increased investment from the

2032
01:05:38,810 --> 01:05:40,712
city would allow more cats to

2033
01:05:40,712 --> 01:05:41,747
be sterilized. Reduced burden

2034
01:05:41,747 --> 01:05:42,381
on shelter intake, improve

2035
01:05:42,381 --> 01:05:43,815
community, cat health and

2036
01:05:43,815 --> 01:05:44,383
quality of life and help

2037
01:05:44,383 --> 01:05:46,552
prevent the growth of

2038
01:05:46,552 --> 01:05:47,953
community cat populations.

2039
01:05:47,953 --> 01:05:48,754
Additional funding would

2040
01:05:48,754 --> 01:05:50,189
represent a proactive

2041
01:05:50,189 --> 01:05:50,889
cost-effective investment and

2042
01:05:50,889 --> 01:05:53,158
animal welfare. Thank you for

2043
01:05:53,158 --> 01:05:53,859
your consideration.

2044
01:05:53,859 --> 01:05:56,859
>> Thank u next. Yet running

2045
01:06:01,534 --> 01:06:02,100
births. Hello. My name is

2046
01:06:02,100 --> 01:06:04,500
Ronnie Burris. And my

2047
01:06:06,672 --> 01:06:09,508
addresses on file. We all have

2048
01:06:09,508 --> 01:06:10,176
heard me talk a lot about

2049
01:06:10,176 --> 01:06:11,277
negotiations with Well, I'm

2050
01:06:11,277 --> 01:06:12,544
here to tell you tonight we

2051
01:06:12,544 --> 01:06:14,544
settled the contract.

2052
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:16,880
>> And

2053
01:06:20,819 --> 01:06:22,721
>> my bargaining unit past the

2054
01:06:22,721 --> 01:06:24,890
240 to 14. So they're very

2055
01:06:24,890 --> 01:06:25,524
happy with the contract that

2056
01:06:25,524 --> 01:06:28,524
we were able to negotiate

2057
01:06:30,462 --> 01:06:33,310
impasse. Just so, you know, we

2058
01:06:33,310 --> 01:06:35,134
were the first union in over

2059
01:06:35,134 --> 01:06:35,801
20 years to go to impasse with

2060
01:06:35,801 --> 01:06:36,501
So hopefully we're going to

2061
01:06:36,501 --> 01:06:39,501
get them to 2026. And that's

2062
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:43,875
what I told him but I just

2063
01:06:43,875 --> 01:06:44,976
want everybody to know that we

2064
01:06:44,976 --> 01:06:47,976
did settle the contract. Our

2065
01:06:48,380 --> 01:06:50,482
members are happy and I look

2066
01:06:50,482 --> 01:06:53,482
forward forward. Coming to you

2067
01:06:54,587 --> 01:06:57,290
and you passing it. Thank you,

2068
01:06:57,290 --> 01:07:00,290
sir. Next weekend as the

2069
01:07:12,304 --> 01:07:13,710
Liberty Patrick.

2070
01:07:13,710 --> 01:07:14,440
>> Good evening. My name is

2071
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:17,440
out of some liberty, Patrick.

2072
01:07:19,679 --> 01:07:20,879
My address is on file. I am a

2073
01:07:20,879 --> 01:07:22,130
Jacksonville resident,

2074
01:07:22,130 --> 01:07:24,951
taxpayer and party to case

2075
01:07:24,951 --> 01:07:27,351
number 16, Dash 2026. Dash ca

2076
01:07:28,321 --> 01:07:28,988
Dash 0, 0, 4, 1, 5, 5, in the

2077
01:07:28,988 --> 01:07:29,521
4th judicial circuit. She's

2078
01:07:29,521 --> 01:07:31,521
passing around some

2079
01:07:32,224 --> 01:07:34,930
information there. I am

2080
01:07:34,930 --> 01:07:36,280
standing here tonight to talk

2081
01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:36,729
about ethics and basic due

2082
01:07:36,729 --> 01:07:38,729
diligence because apparently

2083
01:07:39,832 --> 01:07:41,367
someone around here needs to.

2084
01:07:41,367 --> 01:07:43,367
Back in 2025. 10 sitting

2085
01:07:43,969 --> 01:07:46,369
members of this council

2086
01:07:47,673 --> 01:07:49,408
Carrico Howland tomorrow

2087
01:07:49,408 --> 01:07:51,777
Lannan Carlucci Arias, White

2088
01:07:51,777 --> 01:07:54,777
Salem Miller and Freeman along

2089
01:07:55,615 --> 01:07:56,282
with Sheriff tk Waters rush

2090
01:07:56,282 --> 01:07:57,817
out to throw their official

2091
01:07:57,817 --> 01:07:58,517
backing behind a single

2092
01:07:58,517 --> 01:08:01,517
candidate for city council at

2093
01:08:03,121 --> 01:08:03,789
large group. One. She was

2094
01:08:03,789 --> 01:08:05,157
endorsed before basic legal

2095
01:08:05,157 --> 01:08:07,557
questions were never answered.

2096
01:08:08,127 --> 01:08:10,830
So let's clear this up now. In

2097
01:08:10,830 --> 01:08:12,464
this case, the one ending in

2098
01:08:12,464 --> 01:08:13,298
4, 1, 5, 5, No judge has

2099
01:08:13,298 --> 01:08:15,901
actually heard the evidence on

2100
01:08:15,901 --> 01:08:17,937
these residency claims. No

2101
01:08:17,937 --> 01:08:19,105
judge has allowed Discovery

2102
01:08:19,105 --> 01:08:22,674
and no one has put Ms Wesley

2103
01:08:22,674 --> 01:08:23,342
under oath for a deposition.

2104
01:08:23,342 --> 01:08:24,100
Her residency qualification

2105
01:08:24,100 --> 01:08:26,779
has never been proven in a

2106
01:08:26,779 --> 01:08:29,882
court of law. Not once. In

2107
01:08:29,882 --> 01:08:31,830
fact, as of second lawsuit

2108
01:08:31,830 --> 01:08:32,885
from an independent Duval

2109
01:08:32,885 --> 01:08:34,620
County elector has officially

2110
01:08:34,620 --> 01:08:36,656
been filed, challenging her

2111
01:08:36,656 --> 01:08:38,757
residency from a completely

2112
01:08:38,757 --> 01:08:40,920
separate source. 10 of you

2113
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:43,920
endorsed her so early in 2025.

2114
01:08:44,290 --> 01:08:46,429
Without checking the facts.

2115
01:08:46,999 --> 01:08:47,733
Meanwhile and 2026 state level

2116
01:08:47,733 --> 01:08:48,433
criminal investigations and

2117
01:08:48,433 --> 01:08:49,802
subpoenas hover over our city

2118
01:08:49,802 --> 01:08:51,870
council like a dark cloud. The

2119
01:08:51,870 --> 01:08:54,870
irony is on most impressive.

2120
01:08:56,608 --> 01:08:57,409
So what was the rush? Did 10

2121
01:08:57,409 --> 01:08:59,412
council members and the

2122
01:08:59,412 --> 01:09:00,913
sheriff simply failed to do

2123
01:09:00,913 --> 01:09:01,547
basic research or was

2124
01:09:01,547 --> 01:09:02,810
political expediency more

2125
01:09:02,810 --> 01:09:04,810
important than just

2126
01:09:05,852 --> 01:09:06,552
transparency. I believe you

2127
01:09:06,552 --> 01:09:09,721
hope the public would not pay

2128
01:09:09,721 --> 01:09:10,822
attention to the fine print.

2129
01:09:10,822 --> 01:09:11,590
But news flash Jacksonville

2130
01:09:11,590 --> 01:09:12,258
residents do pay attention. We

2131
01:09:12,258 --> 01:09:15,595
read the fine print. So my

2132
01:09:15,595 --> 01:09:17,162
question to you. With 2 active

2133
01:09:17,162 --> 01:09:19,562
lawsuits now challenging her

2134
01:09:19,899 --> 01:09:20,933
eligibility. Does anyone have

2135
01:09:20,933 --> 01:09:23,933
the backbone to retract or

2136
01:09:24,403 --> 01:09:25,137
pause their endorsement until

2137
01:09:25,137 --> 01:09:27,473
Discovery takes place. And the

2138
01:09:27,473 --> 01:09:28,674
truth comes out under oath or

2139
01:09:28,674 --> 01:09:30,242
are you going to pretend these

2140
01:09:30,242 --> 01:09:31,410
legal questions do not exist?

2141
01:09:31,410 --> 01:09:33,779
The public record is watching.

2142
01:09:33,779 --> 01:09:35,779
Thank you.

2143
01:09:36,516 --> 01:09:37,250
>> Next we have drag in

2144
01:09:37,250 --> 01:09:40,850
Beloit. Meantime, on invite up

2145
01:09:40,850 --> 01:09:43,850
to the front, please. Jamal

2146
01:09:43,689 --> 01:09:46,890
Davis, Kiyana Blalock Nancy

2147
01:09:46,291 --> 01:09:48,691
Marie settle Xavier Green

2148
01:09:54,266 --> 01:09:56,266
Morejon onions.

2149
01:09:57,690 --> 01:09:57,770
>> Hi, my name is driving

2150
01:09:57,770 --> 01:09:58,471
blind. My addresses on file.

2151
01:09:58,471 --> 01:10:00,871
Hello again, everyone. Let's

2152
01:10:01,207 --> 01:10:01,908
all be really, really excited

2153
01:10:01,908 --> 01:10:02,575
for Lionel getting everything

2154
01:10:02,575 --> 01:10:03,309
they wanted because it was

2155
01:10:03,309 --> 01:10:04,877
crazy. Having them come up and

2156
01:10:04,877 --> 01:10:07,813
go, hey. Please help us just

2157
01:10:07,813 --> 01:10:09,848
over and over. It's always

2158
01:10:09,848 --> 01:10:11,717
nice to see a positive result.

2159
01:10:11,717 --> 01:10:13,752
I'm also here to speak on the

2160
01:10:13,752 --> 01:10:14,854
Garden Sounds awesome. I like

2161
01:10:14,854 --> 01:10:15,588
that. I have a little garden

2162
01:10:15,588 --> 01:10:17,857
that I keep in coats because I

2163
01:10:17,857 --> 01:10:18,557
can't put in the ground. So

2164
01:10:18,557 --> 01:10:19,425
keeping totes, I can move it

2165
01:10:19,425 --> 01:10:21,825
back and forth. Growing

2166
01:10:24,230 --> 01:10:25,631
peppers now. I also have

2167
01:10:25,631 --> 01:10:27,466
another thing I'd like to say.

2168
01:10:27,466 --> 01:10:30,769
I actually have a cat trap

2169
01:10:30,769 --> 01:10:31,504
actively in my car to start

2170
01:10:31,504 --> 01:10:32,205
doing the tnr program. And I'm

2171
01:10:32,205 --> 01:10:32,771
really not looking forward to

2172
01:10:32,771 --> 01:10:33,472
those fees. So hey.

2173
01:10:33,472 --> 01:10:37,720
>> If you can waive, those be

2174
01:10:38,770 --> 01:10:39,178
awesome. What I'm actually

2175
01:10:39,178 --> 01:10:41,214
here for is talk once again.

2176
01:10:41,214 --> 01:10:44,160
You're going to be so shocked

2177
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:45,840
about flock cameras. There are

2178
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:46,719
8 flock cameras around my

2179
01:10:46,719 --> 01:10:47,420
neighborhood. I literally

2180
01:10:47,420 --> 01:10:49,722
can't leave without a private

2181
01:10:49,722 --> 01:10:51,324
corporation spying on me. We

2182
01:10:51,324 --> 01:10:52,291
are the free state of Florida

2183
01:10:52,291 --> 01:10:55,291
left Ryan. Maybe look into

2184
01:10:56,620 --> 01:10:58,430
that. Also, none of them have

2185
01:10:58,430 --> 01:10:59,132
any like breakaway plates at

2186
01:10:59,132 --> 01:11:00,266
the bottom. So if a car hits

2187
01:11:00,266 --> 01:11:01,233
them, they're not going

2188
01:11:01,233 --> 01:11:02,701
anywhere. And that person is

2189
01:11:02,701 --> 01:11:06,301
going to get really hurt, who

2190
01:11:06,539 --> 01:11:07,139
installed these? The one right

2191
01:11:07,139 --> 01:11:10,509
in front of my house on

2192
01:11:10,509 --> 01:11:10,843
Merrill Road. That one.

2193
01:11:10,843 --> 01:11:11,543
>> Is.

2194
01:11:11,543 --> 01:11:14,246
>> Just sitting right next to

2195
01:11:14,246 --> 01:11:14,913
Merrill Road, which don't know

2196
01:11:14,913 --> 01:11:15,647
if you know how fast people

2197
01:11:15,647 --> 01:11:18,647
going that road. That's pretty

2198
01:11:18,885 --> 01:11:19,552
quick. Somebody hits that

2199
01:11:19,552 --> 01:11:21,952
without a breakaway plate,

2200
01:11:22,821 --> 01:11:23,522
they're going to die. And then

2201
01:11:23,522 --> 01:11:27,122
their family is going to sue,

2202
01:11:29,261 --> 01:11:29,962
not flock. But the city. I'm

2203
01:11:29,962 --> 01:11:33,320
letting you know that this is

2204
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:33,699
going to be an issue in the

2205
01:11:33,699 --> 01:11:36,699
future. As soon as somebody

2206
01:11:36,903 --> 01:11:37,603
hits one of them. And we all

2207
01:11:37,603 --> 01:11:38,704
live in Jacksonville. We know

2208
01:11:38,704 --> 01:11:41,704
what drivers are like here.

2209
01:11:41,874 --> 01:11:42,574
Someone's gonna hit one. So

2210
01:11:42,574 --> 01:11:44,577
let's try and take some steps

2211
01:11:44,577 --> 01:11:45,210
to try and maybe if they're

2212
01:11:45,210 --> 01:11:47,280
going to be there, put a

2213
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:48,647
breakway played there. Also,

2214
01:11:48,647 --> 01:11:49,348
if they're going to be there

2215
01:11:49,348 --> 01:11:51,851
in form, the people that are

2216
01:11:51,851 --> 01:11:52,785
being actively surveilled

2217
01:11:52,785 --> 01:11:53,485
because it is active

2218
01:11:53,485 --> 01:11:55,154
surveillance. I really don't

2219
01:11:55,154 --> 01:11:56,922
like living under surveillance

2220
01:11:56,922 --> 01:11:59,158
state. This is Jacksonville.

2221
01:11:59,158 --> 01:12:00,426
Jacksonville's, an awesome

2222
01:12:00,426 --> 01:12:01,827
city. I don't want somebody

2223
01:12:01,827 --> 01:12:03,729
looking over my shoulder when

2224
01:12:03,729 --> 01:12:05,298
I leave my house and right now

2225
01:12:05,298 --> 01:12:06,131
they do a private corporation

2226
01:12:06,131 --> 01:12:08,531
currently knows exactly where

2227
01:12:08,634 --> 01:12:09,369
I am. I don't like that. I

2228
01:12:09,369 --> 01:12:11,137
don't want that to be the kind

2229
01:12:11,137 --> 01:12:15,308
of city I live in. And none of

2230
01:12:15,308 --> 01:12:17,420
my either. I can't get him out

2231
01:12:17,420 --> 01:12:18,110
because they're all working.

2232
01:12:18,110 --> 01:12:19,879
But everybody's pretty upset

2233
01:12:19,879 --> 01:12:20,647
and they're going to vote that

2234
01:12:20,647 --> 01:12:21,381
upset later. So please take

2235
01:12:21,381 --> 01:12:23,115
action on Flock cameras. Thank

2236
01:12:23,115 --> 01:12:25,115
you very much

2237
01:12:32,792 --> 01:12:33,526
>> Next, we have 2 Davis.

2238
01:12:33,526 --> 01:12:37,126
Getting my name is Jamal Davis

2239
01:12:37,596 --> 01:12:40,599
and Miles is on file. Am here

2240
01:12:40,599 --> 01:12:40,966
tonight.

2241
01:12:40,966 --> 01:12:41,667
>> Also

2242
01:12:41,667 --> 01:12:45,867
>> to say that I am in favor

2243
01:12:47,673 --> 01:12:48,474
of the free to Martin as well.

2244
01:12:48,474 --> 01:12:52,450
I also think that for garden

2245
01:12:52,450 --> 01:12:53,412
at would be a great way for us

2246
01:12:53,412 --> 01:12:54,413
to institute another way to

2247
01:12:54,413 --> 01:12:55,848
have some sort of mental

2248
01:12:55,848 --> 01:12:58,248
health practices within our

2249
01:13:02,254 --> 01:13:04,190
city. And instead putting more

2250
01:13:04,190 --> 01:13:05,591
into the already inflated

2251
01:13:05,591 --> 01:13:07,991
budget that the Jacksonville

2252
01:13:08,495 --> 01:13:09,896
Sheriff's Office currently

2253
01:13:09,896 --> 01:13:12,896
gets here. And our wonderful

2254
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:16,736
city and county. Here standing

2255
01:13:16,736 --> 01:13:19,105
as the North Florida, early

2256
01:13:19,105 --> 01:13:20,172
regional organizer for Black

2257
01:13:20,172 --> 01:13:20,973
voters matter and also

2258
01:13:20,973 --> 01:13:22,642
standing solidarity with the

2259
01:13:22,642 --> 01:13:24,642
Jacksonville Community Action

2260
01:13:25,978 --> 01:13:26,646
Committee on behalf of Black

2261
01:13:26,646 --> 01:13:29,646
voters matter and honor of

2262
01:13:30,783 --> 01:13:33,252
being able to. Help institute

2263
01:13:33,252 --> 01:13:35,388
a mental health response team

2264
01:13:35,388 --> 01:13:37,257
that will answer a lot of our

2265
01:13:37,257 --> 01:13:38,591
mental health cases instead of

2266
01:13:38,591 --> 01:13:39,159
having police department

2267
01:13:39,159 --> 01:13:41,159
having to constantly

2268
01:13:44,664 --> 01:13:46,599
consistently go out, said

2269
01:13:46,599 --> 01:13:48,468
particular cases as And I

2270
01:13:48,468 --> 01:13:51,104
would like for many of our

2271
01:13:51,104 --> 01:13:52,304
city council members also sit

2272
01:13:52,304 --> 01:13:54,704
with individuals within the

2273
01:13:54,807 --> 01:13:55,942
community and help build out a

2274
01:13:55,942 --> 01:13:58,942
budget that will benefit the

2275
01:14:00,145 --> 01:14:03,282
people as that of court for 8

2276
01:14:03,282 --> 01:14:05,500
interests and our developer or

2277
01:14:05,500 --> 01:14:06,190
friends. And we'll be in loved

2278
01:14:06,190 --> 01:14:08,588
ones. And so that is my time

2279
01:14:08,588 --> 01:14:09,288
that I will yield the Thank

2280
01:14:09,288 --> 01:14:11,490
you so much for listening to

2281
01:14:11,490 --> 01:14:12,158
me. I have a great evening.

2282
01:14:12,158 --> 01:14:15,158
>> Thank you, sir. Next we

2283
01:14:19,932 --> 01:14:22,802
have counted Blaylock. Can a

2284
01:14:22,802 --> 01:14:24,671
Blaylock address on file.

2285
01:14:24,671 --> 01:14:25,638
>> I'm here with the

2286
01:14:25,638 --> 01:14:26,338
Jacksonville Community Action

2287
01:14:26,338 --> 01:14:27,907
Committee to demand that

2288
01:14:27,907 --> 01:14:30,307
Jacksonville citizens have a

2289
01:14:31,100 --> 01:14:32,278
say and the city's budget. We

2290
01:14:32,278 --> 01:14:34,470
have seen that the portion of

2291
01:14:34,470 --> 01:14:35,114
the budget that goes to public

2292
01:14:35,114 --> 01:14:36,215
safety has increased over the

2293
01:14:36,215 --> 01:14:38,952
years. And much of that is

2294
01:14:38,952 --> 01:14:40,353
going to the Jacksonville

2295
01:14:40,353 --> 01:14:42,753
Sheriff's Office. And yes,

2296
01:14:44,290 --> 01:14:44,924
while public safety is a

2297
01:14:44,924 --> 01:14:45,491
priority, giving him the

2298
01:14:45,491 --> 01:14:47,491
increasing the budget

2299
01:14:48,461 --> 01:14:50,229
allocations that go to jso

2300
01:14:50,229 --> 01:14:51,965
seems like a contradiction

2301
01:14:51,965 --> 01:14:52,831
only because they have proven

2302
01:14:52,831 --> 01:14:53,733
time and time again that they

2303
01:14:53,733 --> 01:14:56,733
do not know how to

2304
01:14:56,936 --> 01:14:57,570
de-escalate, especially when

2305
01:14:57,570 --> 01:14:59,380
there are cases of mental

2306
01:14:59,380 --> 01:15:01,438
health crisis is happening

2307
01:15:02,942 --> 01:15:04,810
with Brian Gillis, our Sean

2308
01:15:04,810 --> 01:15:05,512
Martin Lee, a baker. They have

2309
01:15:05,512 --> 01:15:07,280
only escalated the situations

2310
01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:08,247
and unfortunately a lot of

2311
01:15:08,247 --> 01:15:11,840
them leads to Jax. Will

2312
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:12,552
citizens being killed? Many of

2313
01:15:12,552 --> 01:15:13,286
the people here tonight have

2314
01:15:13,286 --> 01:15:15,889
told you exactly what they

2315
01:15:15,889 --> 01:15:17,900
want to be in this budget

2316
01:15:17,900 --> 01:15:19,758
where the fun should be going,

2317
01:15:19,758 --> 01:15:22,158
whether that's a community

2318
01:15:22,696 --> 01:15:23,229
garden, whether that is the

2319
01:15:23,229 --> 01:15:23,896
stopping of certain

2320
01:15:23,896 --> 01:15:25,731
developments in that we can

2321
01:15:25,731 --> 01:15:29,331
have a more walkable city. In

2322
01:15:30,269 --> 01:15:30,937
Jacksonville, weather that be

2323
01:15:30,937 --> 01:15:33,937
when Winn-Dixie came to for

2324
01:15:34,173 --> 01:15:37,173
money to beast saying in

2325
01:15:37,510 --> 01:15:39,211
Jacksonville and then the the

2326
01:15:39,211 --> 01:15:39,846
reasoning was that there are

2327
01:15:39,846 --> 01:15:40,446
food, deserts of food and

2328
01:15:40,446 --> 01:15:41,147
security. When you're a

2329
01:15:41,147 --> 01:15:43,682
council member here has said,

2330
01:15:43,682 --> 01:15:45,718
well, there is a food desert

2331
01:15:45,718 --> 01:15:49,318
funder at however, it just has

2332
01:15:49,589 --> 01:15:50,290
gone ignored by most of you.

2333
01:15:50,290 --> 01:15:51,891
So again, people are telling

2334
01:15:51,891 --> 01:15:53,192
you exactly what they want in

2335
01:15:53,192 --> 01:15:53,859
this budget. However, time and

2336
01:15:53,859 --> 01:15:54,560
time again, you have proven

2337
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:58,760
that you it is falls on deaf

2338
01:15:59,632 --> 01:16:01,367
ears. If there's studies have

2339
01:16:01,367 --> 01:16:02,669
shown that over-policing just

2340
01:16:02,669 --> 01:16:04,771
leads to over policing, it is

2341
01:16:04,771 --> 01:16:05,505
not lead to a safer city, but

2342
01:16:05,505 --> 01:16:07,606
things that do lead to a safer

2343
01:16:07,606 --> 01:16:09,800
city are the things that your

2344
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:09,676
constituents here have told

2345
01:16:09,676 --> 01:16:11,444
you to your Barry face time

2346
01:16:11,444 --> 01:16:12,444
and time again over the many

2347
01:16:12,444 --> 01:16:15,444
city council meetings. I have

2348
01:16:18,752 --> 01:16:19,452
been over the years this the

2349
01:16:19,452 --> 01:16:21,852
public, the People's Budget,

2350
01:16:21,954 --> 01:16:24,590
that j cac is proposing

2351
01:16:24,590 --> 01:16:27,493
provides a clear stormy of

2352
01:16:27,493 --> 01:16:29,328
alternative rather than the

2353
01:16:29,328 --> 01:16:30,290
bloated jso, a budget that we

2354
01:16:30,290 --> 01:16:33,290
have gone gotten every single

2355
01:16:34,834 --> 01:16:35,535
time. And thank you so much.

2356
01:16:35,535 --> 01:16:39,135
>> Thank And next we have Dan

2357
01:16:46,546 --> 01:16:47,847
see Murray so

2358
01:16:47,847 --> 01:16:48,514
>> Nancy Mind settle addresses

2359
01:16:48,514 --> 01:16:50,830
on file today. I'm here to

2360
01:16:50,830 --> 01:16:53,830
speak about law order rules

2361
01:16:53,619 --> 01:16:54,720
and regulation. There's a lot

2362
01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:56,723
of them when it comes to

2363
01:16:56,723 --> 01:16:58,925
running a large city like

2364
01:16:58,925 --> 01:16:59,925
Jacksonville and I personally

2365
01:16:59,925 --> 01:17:03,525
can shape against many of them

2366
01:17:03,530 --> 01:17:05,665
at times. But I also realize

2367
01:17:05,665 --> 01:17:06,332
that that's what makes our

2368
01:17:06,332 --> 01:17:07,000
civilization work. It makes

2369
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:09,680
government work. It builds

2370
01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:09,802
trust between citizens and

2371
01:17:09,802 --> 01:17:12,239
elected for officials with the

2372
01:17:12,239 --> 01:17:14,407
rules are followed. It brings

2373
01:17:14,407 --> 01:17:17,407
order to what otherwise could

2374
01:17:17,510 --> 01:17:18,778
be chaos when there is

2375
01:17:18,778 --> 01:17:21,178
corruption, green for wealth

2376
01:17:21,247 --> 01:17:22,615
and power. Nepotism and

2377
01:17:22,615 --> 01:17:26,215
dishonesty. A city or state is

2378
01:17:26,352 --> 01:17:27,860
bound to fail. There's lots of

2379
01:17:27,860 --> 01:17:28,387
Sainz with showers said humans

2380
01:17:28,387 --> 01:17:30,787
have a tendency toward

2381
01:17:30,857 --> 01:17:32,458
corruption and dishonesty such

2382
01:17:32,458 --> 01:17:33,427
as rules are made to be

2383
01:17:33,427 --> 01:17:35,827
broken. Let's ask forgiveness

2384
01:17:36,463 --> 01:17:37,163
rather than permission. It was

2385
01:17:37,163 --> 01:17:39,533
just some of the white lion.

2386
01:17:39,533 --> 01:17:40,267
Everyone does it. There's so

2387
01:17:40,267 --> 01:17:42,702
many escape hatches from truth

2388
01:17:42,702 --> 01:17:44,400
telling an honest thing, but

2389
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:44,704
we must attempt to shed light

2390
01:17:44,704 --> 01:17:46,573
where we see that the bending

2391
01:17:46,573 --> 01:17:47,307
of truth is becoming

2392
01:17:47,307 --> 01:17:49,707
detrimental. We must talk

2393
01:17:49,709 --> 01:17:52,109
about hypocrisy. Sometime. We

2394
01:17:52,512 --> 01:17:55,512
give each other grace sometime

2395
01:17:56,482 --> 01:17:57,350
we give a pass a waiver. When

2396
01:17:57,350 --> 01:17:59,418
we make mistakes. And when

2397
01:17:59,418 --> 01:18:01,320
running large organizations

2398
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:03,623
like Jacksonville, I can see

2399
01:18:03,623 --> 01:18:04,390
some time the need for a

2400
01:18:04,390 --> 01:18:06,259
waiver from following the

2401
01:18:06,259 --> 01:18:08,361
rules, the codes, the

2402
01:18:08,361 --> 01:18:09,161
ordinances. But when becomes a

2403
01:18:09,161 --> 01:18:09,829
common practice, I think we

2404
01:18:09,829 --> 01:18:13,633
all need to take a look at

2405
01:18:13,633 --> 01:18:16,633
what is happening. I'm looking

2406
01:18:18,338 --> 01:18:19,706
at specifically at the waivers

2407
01:18:19,706 --> 01:18:20,640
from 1, 1, 8, 0, 7, which

2408
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:23,400
requires a competitive bid

2409
01:18:23,276 --> 01:18:24,510
before grants can be made. I

2410
01:18:24,510 --> 01:18:26,312
understand it on a certain

2411
01:18:26,312 --> 01:18:28,348
level. It speeds up the

2412
01:18:28,348 --> 01:18:29,281
process of getting money to

2413
01:18:29,281 --> 01:18:29,983
organizations that are large

2414
01:18:29,983 --> 01:18:32,185
trusted, been doing business

2415
01:18:32,185 --> 01:18:32,886
with the city for decades,

2416
01:18:32,886 --> 01:18:35,388
such as United Way of

2417
01:18:35,388 --> 01:18:37,388
northeast Florida shows

2418
01:18:37,624 --> 01:18:39,392
backers center and however, in

2419
01:18:39,392 --> 01:18:41,427
this week's agenda, there were

2420
01:18:41,427 --> 01:18:43,463
27 instances of a request for

2421
01:18:43,463 --> 01:18:44,531
a waiver granted. Many of them

2422
01:18:44,531 --> 01:18:46,232
are coming from the budget for

2423
01:18:46,232 --> 01:18:48,268
next year. Some of them made

2424
01:18:48,268 --> 01:18:49,468
sense. Some of them died.

2425
01:18:49,468 --> 01:18:52,468
Didn't. However, there were at

2426
01:18:53,572 --> 01:18:54,274
least 5 other waivers.

2427
01:18:54,274 --> 01:18:54,975
Ordinances attempting to give

2428
01:18:54,975 --> 01:18:57,975
money to nonprofits without a

2429
01:18:59,112 --> 01:19:02,112
competitive bed. I'm gonna go

2430
01:19:02,181 --> 01:19:04,884
to that one 5, 7, 5, a request

2431
01:19:04,884 --> 01:19:07,187
for $94,000 to a great

2432
01:19:07,187 --> 01:19:08,154
organization operation for new

2433
01:19:08,154 --> 01:19:09,322
uniforms were the for sure.

2434
01:19:09,322 --> 01:19:11,157
But when the PRESIDENT's fire

2435
01:19:11,157 --> 01:19:12,459
watch has 2 of those members

2436
01:19:12,459 --> 01:19:13,193
sitting on the board, it looks

2437
01:19:13,193 --> 01:19:15,162
a little bit like nepotism. So

2438
01:19:15,162 --> 01:19:15,795
let's be careful of that.

2439
01:19:15,795 --> 01:19:18,795
>> Thank u next. We have

2440
01:19:26,773 --> 01:19:29,173
Xavier Green. Xavier Green

2441
01:19:29,909 --> 01:19:30,544
address on file. Good evening

2442
01:19:30,544 --> 01:19:31,144
City Council. My name is

2443
01:19:31,144 --> 01:19:32,379
Xavier Green and I'm a

2444
01:19:32,379 --> 01:19:34,779
resident of Jacksonville has

2445
01:19:35,382 --> 01:19:36,249
have a question. What message

2446
01:19:36,249 --> 01:19:38,151
does it send to your

2447
01:19:38,151 --> 01:19:39,285
constituents that are

2448
01:19:39,285 --> 01:19:40,353
pre-trial, detention facility

2449
01:19:40,353 --> 01:19:40,954
has quietly become the largest

2450
01:19:40,954 --> 01:19:42,954
mental health receiving

2451
01:19:43,389 --> 01:19:45,392
facility in Duval County. What

2452
01:19:45,392 --> 01:19:46,426
message does it send in your

2453
01:19:46,426 --> 01:19:47,460
own 2024? Special committee

2454
01:19:47,460 --> 01:19:48,261
report reveals a staggering

2455
01:19:48,261 --> 01:19:51,261
reality that more than 31% of

2456
01:19:51,364 --> 01:19:51,898
the jail population currently

2457
01:19:51,898 --> 01:19:53,533
qualifies for Dcip

2458
01:19:53,533 --> 01:19:55,533
diversionary mental health

2459
01:19:55,969 --> 01:19:56,803
programs. Yes, it and over.

2460
01:19:56,803 --> 01:19:59,139
Did also complain about how

2461
01:19:59,139 --> 01:19:59,839
overpopulated the jail is?

2462
01:19:59,839 --> 01:20:00,540
Sounds like an easy solution

2463
01:20:00,540 --> 01:20:02,940
to this billion-dollar issue.

2464
01:20:03,576 --> 01:20:04,243
Am I right? You all don't

2465
01:20:04,243 --> 01:20:04,911
believe you all don't even

2466
01:20:04,911 --> 01:20:07,911
believe that they belong in

2467
01:20:08,582 --> 01:20:09,549
there. So act on it. That same

2468
01:20:09,549 --> 01:20:10,249
report proved that individuals

2469
01:20:10,249 --> 01:20:10,917

2470
01:20:10,917 --> 01:20:13,820
the times longer and cost 7

2471
01:20:13,820 --> 01:20:14,554
times as much draining

2472
01:20:14,554 --> 01:20:17,554
millions from taxpayers to the

2473
01:20:17,658 --> 01:20:19,593

2474
01:20:19,593 --> 01:20:22,593
time, jso has killed over 5

2476
01:20:23,329 --> 01:20:23,997
2025 alone contributing to

2477
01:20:23,997 --> 01:20:25,565
local police killing rate.

2478
01:20:25,565 --> 01:20:27,667
That is more than twice the

2479
01:20:27,667 --> 01:20:28,401
national average while use of

2480
01:20:28,401 --> 01:20:29,603
force incidents and complaints

2481
01:20:29,603 --> 01:20:31,604
continue to rise and go

2482
01:20:31,604 --> 01:20:33,606
unresolved, according to jso

2483
01:20:33,606 --> 01:20:35,708
only open data and community

2484
01:20:35,708 --> 01:20:37,444
reports. We cannot afford to

2485
01:20:37,444 --> 01:20:38,644
keep funding a broken cycle of

2486
01:20:38,644 --> 01:20:39,579
incarceration and lethal

2487
01:20:39,579 --> 01:20:41,647
police saying the focus must

2488
01:20:41,647 --> 01:20:42,249
shift immediately to funding a

2491
01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:49,560
We're pitching a twelve-month

2492
01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:50,924

threat of danger and a police

2500
01:21:01,801 --> 01:21:04,470
response, if there's a direct

2501
01:21:04,470 --> 01:21:05,739
threat of extreme violence,

2502
01:21:05,739 --> 01:21:06,706
diverting people who need it

2503
01:21:06,706 --> 01:21:07,440
to community care like the

before they even reach a cell.

2506
01:21:11,511 --> 01:21:12,312
And guess what? It wouldn't

2507
01:21:12,312 --> 01:21:14,247
cost the city much at all.

2508
01:21:14,247 --> 01:21:14,981
We've done the research. The

2509
01:21:14,981 --> 01:21:16,583
state has coffers specifically

2510
01:21:16,583 --> 01:21:17,550
for mobile response. Teams are

2511
01:21:17,550 --> 01:21:19,319
MR. T's so the time is now.

2512
01:21:19,319 --> 01:21:22,319
Thank you. And also. Charlie

01:21:24,724 --> 01:21:27,724
Kirk, all. Thank you, sir.

2514
01:21:27,794 --> 01:21:28,461
Next he had Marianna needs.

2515
01:21:28,461 --> 01:21:29,396
Meantime, on invite Gabriel

2516
01:21:29,396 --> 01:21:31,396

01:21:41,941 --> 01:21:42,642
please come down to the front.

2520
01:21:42,642 --> 01:21:45,420
>> Hello, my name's Marianna

2521
01:21:45,512 --> 01:21:46,213
Nieves address on file. Once

2522
01:21:46,213 --> 01:21:48,214
again, you've heard from the

2523
01:21:48,214 --> 01:21:51,685
public about what it wants to

2524
01:21:51,685 --> 01:21:52,586
see within its own community.

2525
01:21:52,586 --> 01:21:54,821
And I have an incredible and

2526
01:21:54,821 --> 01:21:56,489
new transformative idea for

2527
01:21:56,489 --> 01:21:58,358
our community. The people of

2528
01:21:58,358 --> 01:22:00,758
Jacksonville. We'll pay you

2529
01:22:02,629 --> 01:22:03,596
tax money, too. Put the things

2530
01:22:03,596 --> 01:22:04,397
that we want to see the

2531
01:22:04,397 --> 01:22:05,565
programs and initiatives that

2532
01:22:05,565 --> 01:22:06,990
we want to see within our

2533
01:22:06,990 --> 01:22:06,800
communities and our

2534
01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:09,200
communities. And you actually

2535
01:22:10,300 --> 01:22:10,770
do at this time. As the

2536
01:22:10,770 --> 01:22:12,672
working class people of

2537
01:22:12,672 --> 01:22:13,373
Jacksonville continue to see

2538
01:22:13,373 --> 01:22:13,451
more money being s#

2539
01:22:13,451 --> 01:22:13,548
#

2540
01:22:13,548 --> 01:22:13,637
#

2541
01:22:13,637 --> 01:22:13,714
#

2542
01:22:13,714 --> 01:22:13,795
#

2543
01:22:13,795 --> 01:22:14,441
into

2544
01:22:14,441 --> 01:22:18,410
the city. Only to have fuse

2545
01:22:18,945 --> 01:22:20,981
come out. And have city

2546
01:22:20,981 --> 01:22:21,848
leaders seemingly be more

2547
01:22:21,848 --> 01:22:22,548
interested in the investment

2548
01:22:22,548 --> 01:22:25,548
of death and stagnation with

2549
01:22:26,220 --> 01:22:29,220
in Jacksonville. We are done.

2550
01:22:29,957 --> 01:22:32,792
We're done with a $674 million

2551
01:22:32,792 --> 01:22:33,459
budget site and over

2552
01:22:33,459 --> 01:22:34,961
150 million dollar increase

2553
01:22:34,961 --> 01:22:37,361
over the years, Jacksonville

2554
01:22:41,301 --> 01:22:42,235
can more. More than afford to

2555
01:22:42,235 --> 01:22:42,869
invest invest in mental health

2556
01:22:42,869 --> 01:22:45,139
initiatives and a mental

2557
01:22:45,139 --> 01:22:45,839
health professional team. In

2558
01:22:45,839 --> 01:22:48,839
response to the men's health

2559
01:22:49,743 --> 01:22:50,744
crisis in Jacksonville. And

2560
01:22:50,744 --> 01:22:51,645
yet it chooses to invest

2561
01:22:51,645 --> 01:22:53,579
heavily into armed forces

2562
01:22:53,579 --> 01:22:55,615
meant to protect property and

2563
01:22:55,615 --> 01:22:58,151
not people. Just so jso is

2564
01:22:58,151 --> 01:22:58,952
budget has increased from

2565
01:22:58,952 --> 01:23:00,952
638 million to 678 million

2566
01:23:01,722 --> 01:23:03,557
over the last 2 years. Does

2567
01:23:03,557 --> 01:23:05,557
anyone feel 678 million

2568
01:23:07,930 --> 01:23:09,229
dollars safer? No one does.

2569
01:23:09,229 --> 01:23:11,629
Budget. People's budget is

2570
01:23:12,332 --> 01:23:13,000
clear. It's transformative and

2571
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:13,700
for the people reinvesting

2572
01:23:13,700 --> 01:23:16,100
millions of taxpayer dollars

2573
01:23:16,469 --> 01:23:17,170
into the services and the

2574
01:23:17,170 --> 01:23:19,570
infrastructure that make our

2575
01:23:20,674 --> 01:23:22,609
communities better. And no

2576
01:23:22,609 --> 01:23:24,945
more jso funding increases. We

2577
01:23:24,945 --> 01:23:26,112
need to implement a people's

2578
01:23:26,112 --> 01:23:28,748
budget. Now. And I know if

2579
01:23:28,748 --> 01:23:29,582
Charlie Kirk was here with us,

2580
01:23:29,582 --> 01:23:30,250
he's looking up at us right

2581
01:23:30,250 --> 01:23:32,285
now. He would want this as

2582
01:23:32,285 --> 01:23:32,919
well. Thank you, guys.

2583
01:23:32,919 --> 01:23:35,919
>> Thank u next. We have

2584
01:23:43,497 --> 01:23:44,197
Gabriel Peralta. Good evening.

2585
01:23:44,197 --> 01:23:47,797
Get cable pearl to address on

2586
01:23:48,435 --> 01:23:49,136
file. So that that cac

2587
01:23:49,136 --> 01:23:50,904
Jacksonville Community Action

2588
01:23:50,904 --> 01:23:53,240
Committee has called for the

2589
01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:55,240
inclusion, a participatory

2590
01:23:55,442 --> 01:23:56,760
budgeting and which additional

2591
01:23:56,760 --> 01:23:57,344
funding going towards jso

2592
01:23:57,344 --> 01:23:58,111
should be decided by the

2593
01:23:58,111 --> 01:24:00,511
community to what priorities

2594
01:24:02,716 --> 01:24:03,350
the community needs.

2595
01:24:03,350 --> 01:24:03,984
Jacksonville should allow

2596
01:24:03,984 --> 01:24:05,886
impacted segments of the

2597
01:24:05,886 --> 01:24:07,521
community who are

2598
01:24:07,521 --> 01:24:08,222
traditionally excluded from

2599
01:24:08,222 --> 01:24:09,790
conventional budgeting plans

2600
01:24:09,790 --> 01:24:12,659
to decide how that money is

2601
01:24:12,659 --> 01:24:13,861
spent. Dozens of cities,

2602
01:24:13,861 --> 01:24:14,794
municipalities, school

2603
01:24:14,794 --> 01:24:16,463
districts and other entities

2604
01:24:16,463 --> 01:24:17,970
have effectively use

2605
01:24:17,970 --> 01:24:17,831
participatory budgets to

2606
01:24:17,831 --> 01:24:20,231
increase Democratic input from

2607
01:24:23,336 --> 01:24:24,638
communities. More funding to

2608
01:24:24,638 --> 01:24:25,472
jso hasn't paid dividends,

2609
01:24:25,472 --> 01:24:26,273
however, increase

2610
01:24:26,273 --> 01:24:28,273
opportunities, economic

2611
01:24:28,342 --> 01:24:28,975
development, livable wages and

2612
01:24:28,975 --> 01:24:30,377
enhance public services,

2613
01:24:30,377 --> 01:24:31,678
provide the stability needed

2614
01:24:31,678 --> 01:24:32,312
for the people of Jacksonville

2615
01:24:32,312 --> 01:24:34,712
to 3rd thoroughly. Fuller

2616
01:24:35,882 --> 01:24:37,584
flourish. Over the past

2617
01:24:37,584 --> 01:24:38,251
decade, the jso budget has

2618
01:24:38,251 --> 01:24:38,985
consistently accounted for

2619
01:24:38,985 --> 01:24:41,889
more than half of our city

2620
01:24:41,889 --> 01:24:43,256
budget and is increasing

2621
01:24:43,256 --> 01:24:44,691
increased nearly every year

2622
01:24:44,691 --> 01:24:47,761
with an overall rise of over

2623
01:24:47,761 --> 01:24:48,461
200 million since 2013, the

2624
01:24:48,461 --> 01:24:50,964
mental health crisis is not a

2625
01:24:50,964 --> 01:24:53,233
death sentence. One family's

2626
01:24:53,233 --> 01:24:55,202
call 9-1-1 for help. They're

2627
01:24:55,202 --> 01:24:57,202
asking for medical

2628
01:24:58,905 --> 01:25:00,774
intervention, not execution

2629
01:25:00,774 --> 01:25:02,208
with a 674 million dollar

2630
01:25:02,208 --> 01:25:03,900
budget in over 150 million

2631
01:25:03,900 --> 01:25:03,911
dollar increase over the last

2632
01:25:03,911 --> 01:25:05,911
couple years. Jacksonville

2633
01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:08,150
can't afford to invest and

2634
01:25:08,150 --> 01:25:10,415
trade. The Jacksonville can

2635
01:25:11,180 --> 01:25:11,584
afford to invest in for a

2636
01:25:11,584 --> 01:25:12,719
trained mental health

2637
01:25:12,719 --> 01:25:13,420
professionals instead of

2638
01:25:13,420 --> 01:25:14,822
letting armed officers act as

2639
01:25:14,822 --> 01:25:16,857
first responders for those in

2640
01:25:16,857 --> 01:25:17,458
crisis, we are demanding a

2641
01:25:17,458 --> 01:25:19,458
permanent mental health

2642
01:25:19,893 --> 01:25:20,493
emergency response team

2643
01:25:20,493 --> 01:25:22,493
mandatory de-escalation

2644
01:25:23,630 --> 01:25:24,230
protocols and family and

2645
01:25:24,230 --> 01:25:25,799
family records within 7

2646
01:25:25,799 --> 01:25:26,734
business days because grieving

2647
01:25:26,734 --> 01:25:27,600
family members shouldn't have

2648
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:29,436
to wait months for answers.

2649
01:25:29,436 --> 01:25:31,771
Well, jso is budget balloons.

2650
01:25:31,771 --> 01:25:33,340
Also also no, Charlie Kirk,

2651
01:25:33,340 --> 01:25:35,740
they please. It sounds

2652
01:25:37,144 --> 01:25:37,811
horrible.

2653
01:25:37,811 --> 01:25:41,411
>> Thank u next. We have a

2654
01:25:50,857 --> 01:25:53,257
ministry. Good afternoon. I

2655
01:25:59,566 --> 01:26:00,233
Sharif I am coming basically

2656
01:26:00,233 --> 01:26:01,568
repeat the same thing we've

2657
01:26:01,568 --> 01:26:05,168
been saying over and over and

2658
01:26:06,407 --> 01:26:08,407
over again.

2659
01:26:09,209 --> 01:26:11,411
>> We have to community a face

2660
01:26:11,411 --> 01:26:12,780
stagnation. Many of the things

2661
01:26:12,780 --> 01:26:13,447
that we would be coming up

2662
01:26:13,447 --> 01:26:17,647
here at them for have not been

2663
01:26:18,518 --> 01:26:19,520
acted on.

2664
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:19,686
>> Connor.

2665
01:26:19,686 --> 01:26:22,686
>> The young man that was

2666
01:26:23,790 --> 01:26:24,791
arrested for speaking

2667
01:26:24,791 --> 01:26:27,191
regarding Palestine is still

2668
01:26:29,290 --> 01:26:32,629
in jail for He is public

2669
01:26:32,699 --> 01:26:35,502
comments he has made. And he

2670
01:26:35,502 --> 01:26:37,404
basically are arrested for

2671
01:26:37,404 --> 01:26:39,739
that from the tape. He was

2672
01:26:39,739 --> 01:26:41,441
assaulted. But that's another

2673
01:26:41,441 --> 01:26:43,710
issue. The other thing you I'm

2674
01:26:43,710 --> 01:26:46,710
glad to see that alligator.

2675
01:26:47,481 --> 01:26:50,481
Our good friend is being

2676
01:26:51,218 --> 01:26:54,188
closed. It is because people

2677
01:26:54,188 --> 01:26:55,922
have been outraged about how

2678
01:26:55,922 --> 01:26:57,922
the environmental situation

2679
01:26:59,960 --> 01:27:02,960
affected the animals. Now we

2680
01:27:04,765 --> 01:27:06,133
have the same situation in

2681
01:27:06,133 --> 01:27:08,133
Ridgewood where the

2682
01:27:10,700 --> 01:27:12,700
environment too.

2683
01:27:12,706 --> 01:27:13,440
>> Humans that are coming from

2684
01:27:13,440 --> 01:27:16,440
the forensic, the forensic lab

2685
01:27:16,610 --> 01:27:18,610
in a more.

2686
01:27:19,947 --> 01:27:20,247
>> We the residents of that

2687
01:27:20,247 --> 01:27:22,247
area.

2688
01:27:22,816 --> 01:27:23,283
>> Should be given the same

2689
01:27:23,283 --> 01:27:25,283
consideration.

2690
01:27:26,530 --> 01:27:26,720
>> As the alligator Alcatraz.

2691
01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:29,120
>> We're being affected by

2692
01:27:31,758 --> 01:27:32,859
those

2693
01:27:32,859 --> 01:27:33,994
>> All right.

2694
01:27:33,994 --> 01:27:36,994
>> The other thing used to

2695
01:27:38,999 --> 01:27:39,666
criminal PRESIDENT. Who

2696
01:27:39,666 --> 01:27:42,660
basically part the JANUARY

2697
01:27:44,238 --> 01:27:47,238
6th. People that stormed the

2698
01:27:49,944 --> 01:27:52,479
Capitol. He has pardoned them.

2699
01:27:52,479 --> 01:27:54,881
Now he has put in for these

2700
01:27:54,881 --> 01:27:57,881
people to be compensated. The

2701
01:28:02,589 --> 01:28:03,924
cry and committed. When it a

2702
01:28:03,924 --> 01:28:06,727
subject to be considered for

2703
01:28:06,727 --> 01:28:07,394
something like

2704
01:28:07,394 --> 01:28:10,394
>> You have victims of soy

2705
01:28:13,199 --> 01:28:14,902
every. X and 4 compensation

2706
01:28:14,902 --> 01:28:18,502
for them being victim has they

2707
01:28:20,774 --> 01:28:21,475
consider that? Not relevant?

2708
01:28:21,475 --> 01:28:22,877
But didn't you could ask for

2709
01:28:22,877 --> 01:28:25,877
the JANUARY 6 people to be

2710
01:28:26,614 --> 01:28:27,281
compensated.

2711
01:28:27,281 --> 01:28:30,281
>> Income and next we have

2712
01:28:34,688 --> 01:28:36,220
Jaime Travers, Leonard.

2713
01:28:36,220 --> 01:28:36,624
>> Good evening. City

2714
01:28:36,624 --> 01:28:37,725
COUNCILMAN, a Travis I

2715
01:28:37,725 --> 01:28:40,125
addresses on file. Welcome

2716
01:28:42,330 --> 01:28:43,397
back. So today talk about

2717
01:28:43,397 --> 01:28:43,997
momentum specifically in this

2718
01:28:43,997 --> 01:28:46,397
community. You MAY have

2719
01:28:47,201 --> 01:28:47,902
noticed we have increasingly

2720
01:28:47,902 --> 01:28:48,535
least since I've been coming

2721
01:28:48,535 --> 01:28:49,202
regularly, which has been

2722
01:28:49,202 --> 01:28:50,300
about a year. I've attended

2723
01:28:50,300 --> 01:28:50,838
almost every one of these

2724
01:28:50,838 --> 01:28:53,838
meetings and several Eli's the

2725
01:28:54,408 --> 01:28:56,510
meetings at this point built a

2726
01:28:56,510 --> 01:28:57,344
lot of moments built a lot of

2727
01:28:57,344 --> 01:28:57,978
community. You've seen it with

2728
01:28:57,978 --> 01:28:58,646
the neighborhood Bill of

2729
01:28:58,646 --> 01:29:01,282
Rights. You see it with the

2730
01:29:01,282 --> 01:29:02,160
freedom to Garden Act. So as

2731
01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:03,851
you keep community momentum in

2732
01:29:03,851 --> 01:29:05,986
mind as we come into our

2733
01:29:05,986 --> 01:29:08,489
fiscal year, I reviewed the

2734
01:29:08,489 --> 01:29:09,156
mayor's budget. I was very

2735
01:29:09,156 --> 01:29:12,156
interest in the fact 3% is

2736
01:29:12,627 --> 01:29:13,327
going to public safety. And

2737
01:29:13,327 --> 01:29:13,961
unless there's some around in

2738
01:29:13,961 --> 01:29:14,661
the infographic that was

2739
01:29:14,661 --> 01:29:17,661
share, that's over a billion

2740
01:29:18,999 --> 01:29:19,967
dollars. Public safety is

2741
01:29:19,967 --> 01:29:22,967
priority number one. And this

2742
01:29:23,700 --> 01:29:24,380
budget reflects that. I'm

2743
01:29:24,380 --> 01:29:24,939
beginning to think this

2744
01:29:24,939 --> 01:29:26,206
council in the mayor's office

2745
01:29:26,206 --> 01:29:28,708
have a different idea of

2746
01:29:28,708 --> 01:29:29,410
public safety compared to me.

2747
01:29:29,410 --> 01:29:32,780
Someone tell you what I think

2748
01:29:32,780 --> 01:29:35,780
public safety is public safety

2749
01:29:35,282 --> 01:29:35,949
is access to nutritious food

2750
01:29:35,949 --> 01:29:38,349
public safety is affordable

2751
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:40,655
housing. Public safety. It's

2752
01:29:40,655 --> 01:29:43,550
pedestrian pathways. They keep

2753
01:29:44,858 --> 01:29:46,227
them safe. Public safety is

2754
01:29:46,227 --> 01:29:49,227
heat shelters in our lovely

2755
01:29:51,164 --> 01:29:52,800
Florida summer. Public safety

2756
01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:53,534
is feral. Population

2757
01:29:53,534 --> 01:29:54,201
management and funding to help

2758
01:29:54,201 --> 01:29:57,201
people in the community do

2759
01:29:57,404 --> 01:30:00,404
that. Public safety is the

2760
01:30:00,474 --> 01:30:01,175
freedom to garden at it's the

2761
01:30:01,175 --> 01:30:01,876
neighborhood bill of Rights.

2762
01:30:01,876 --> 01:30:05,476
It's not putting the jail on

2763
01:30:05,779 --> 01:30:06,814
the North side. So what I

2764
01:30:06,814 --> 01:30:09,814
challenge this council to do

2765
01:30:11,485 --> 01:30:12,986
this fiscal year is take up.

2766
01:30:12,986 --> 01:30:15,386
There's call to prioritize

2767
01:30:15,790 --> 01:30:18,559
public safety. But give us

2768
01:30:18,559 --> 01:30:21,362
actual public safety make our

2769
01:30:21,362 --> 01:30:23,762
communities better safer and

2770
01:30:28,935 --> 01:30:29,369
more accessible. Next. We have

2771
01:30:29,369 --> 01:30:30,170
Denise Cook.

2772
01:30:30,170 --> 01:30:33,173
>> the by up to the front,

2773
01:30:33,173 --> 01:30:35,573
please, Kirstin Gilmore, John

2774
01:30:37,177 --> 01:30:38,245
Mooney and Chelsea Chen.

2775
01:30:38,245 --> 01:30:41,115
>> Good evening. My name is

2776
01:30:41,115 --> 01:30:41,815
Denise Cooking. My addresses

2777
01:30:41,815 --> 01:30:43,617
on file. Give you 3 guesses.

2778
01:30:43,617 --> 01:30:44,251
What I'm going to talk about

2779
01:30:44,251 --> 01:30:47,251
tonight. We all have been

2780
01:30:47,587 --> 01:30:50,825
listen me for years. So I'm

2781
01:30:50,825 --> 01:30:52,859
going to talk about jp Smalls.

2782
01:30:52,859 --> 01:30:54,996
>> And I'm going to talk about

2783
01:30:54,996 --> 01:30:57,640
the money that we've invested,

2784
01:30:57,640 --> 01:30:58,832
the money that we're

2785
01:30:58,832 --> 01:31:01,832
continuing to invest in. How

2786
01:31:02,136 --> 01:31:02,703
exciting that is. This is a

2787
01:31:02,703 --> 01:31:04,703
huge opportunity for

2788
01:31:06,607 --> 01:31:07,641
Jacksonville for 3 to 209. But

2789
01:31:07,641 --> 01:31:09,610
we have to also put in place

2790
01:31:09,610 --> 01:31:11,746
things that were destroyed

2791
01:31:11,746 --> 01:31:12,446
during redlining. There it is.

2792
01:31:12,446 --> 01:31:14,846
There's that keyword. There's

2793
01:31:16,984 --> 01:31:19,720
that buzzword. We use it. We

2794
01:31:19,720 --> 01:31:21,889
use it when it's appropriate

2795
01:31:21,889 --> 01:31:23,391
generate hype about what we're

2796
01:31:23,391 --> 01:31:24,158
doing in city council. We use

2797
01:31:24,158 --> 01:31:25,993
it when we're generating hype

2798
01:31:25,993 --> 01:31:28,229
of that. We want people on our

2799
01:31:28,229 --> 01:31:30,198
sides. We use it when it's a

2800
01:31:30,198 --> 01:31:32,299
pro. When we feel like it's

2801
01:31:32,299 --> 01:31:34,699
appropriate. But what it

2802
01:31:35,102 --> 01:31:35,836
really is is a deterioration

2803
01:31:35,836 --> 01:31:37,738
of our communities. And it has

2804
01:31:37,738 --> 01:31:38,572
been in place for years. We

2805
01:31:38,572 --> 01:31:39,306
all know it. We know we're

2806
01:31:39,306 --> 01:31:41,342
still doing it. We're doing it

2807
01:31:41,342 --> 01:31:43,744
in different ways. We're doing

2808
01:31:43,744 --> 01:31:46,144
it by digital redlining,

2809
01:31:47,414 --> 01:31:48,820
environmental lot. Redlining.

2810
01:31:48,820 --> 01:31:48,816
100 different names and we

2811
01:31:48,816 --> 01:31:52,416
should sit down and talk about

2812
01:31:52,820 --> 01:31:55,890
them all. But what we're doing

2813
01:31:55,890 --> 01:31:56,523
now is we're investing anchor

2814
01:31:56,523 --> 01:31:58,859
into 3 to 209. That is an

2815
01:31:58,859 --> 01:31:59,593
excellent idea. But how many

2816
01:31:59,593 --> 01:32:03,793
of you have been down there in

2817
01:32:04,465 --> 01:32:08,650
the last? 6 months? Is there a

2818
01:32:08,335 --> 01:32:10,637
safe places to walk? Are there

2819
01:32:10,637 --> 01:32:11,639
any eateries? Are there

2820
01:32:11,639 --> 01:32:12,640
anything to support that is a

2821
01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:14,374
crime in that area where it

2822
01:32:14,374 --> 01:32:15,876
should be so that tourists can

2823
01:32:15,876 --> 01:32:18,876
come so that families can

2824
01:32:19,380 --> 01:32:20,281
come. We're going to put in a

2825
01:32:20,281 --> 01:32:22,150
new museum. I'm all for this.

2826
01:32:22,150 --> 01:32:23,517
I want us to have these

2827
01:32:23,517 --> 01:32:25,586
anchors. We have beautiful,

2828
01:32:25,586 --> 01:32:27,586
beautiful, historic buildings.

2829
01:32:28,255 --> 01:32:30,230
We have wonderful rich

2830
01:32:30,230 --> 01:32:30,558
history, not just in 3 to 209,

2831
01:32:30,558 --> 01:32:32,558
that all throughout

2832
01:32:34,395 --> 01:32:36,830
Jacksonville. That we need to

2833
01:32:36,830 --> 01:32:38,699
do things purposely and

2834
01:32:38,699 --> 01:32:39,300
thoughtfully and with intent

2835
01:32:39,300 --> 01:32:41,680
and make sure we're not

2836
01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:42,736
putting the cart before the

2837
01:32:42,736 --> 01:32:45,172
horse. I do also support the

2838
01:32:45,172 --> 01:32:48,772
Freedom Garden Act. And as far

2839
01:32:49,610 --> 01:32:50,678
as feral cats, I got several

2840
01:32:50,678 --> 01:32:54,278
rabies shots last year from a

2841
01:32:56,617 --> 01:32:57,618
feral cat was not trapped. So

2842
01:32:57,618 --> 01:32:59,887
if we need, if we can swing

2843
01:32:59,887 --> 01:33:00,488
some money that way, it's a

2844
01:33:00,488 --> 01:33:01,355
good thing that's very

2845
01:33:01,355 --> 01:33:03,290
dangerous because raccoons in

2846
01:33:03,290 --> 01:33:05,690
Florida, but they don't

2847
01:33:09,564 --> 01:33:11,964
demonstrate any. Thank Makes

2848
01:33:23,444 --> 01:33:24,178
you Kirsten Gilmore. Good

2849
01:33:24,178 --> 01:33:26,947
afternoon. My name is and many

2850
01:33:26,947 --> 01:33:29,500
of my address on file.

2851
01:33:29,500 --> 01:33:30,718
>> I am here to speak about

2852
01:33:30,718 --> 01:33:31,418
Jacksonville. Jacksonville

2853
01:33:31,418 --> 01:33:33,554
deserves much better than the

2854
01:33:33,554 --> 01:33:36,124
scraps. We are often thrown by

2855
01:33:36,124 --> 01:33:36,757
the wayside. Like where birds

2856
01:33:36,757 --> 01:33:38,225
searching for the scraps,

2857
01:33:38,225 --> 01:33:39,260
like, you know how when you

2858
01:33:39,260 --> 01:33:41,829
scatter seed and some of it

2859
01:33:41,829 --> 01:33:42,898
goes right in the middle and

2860
01:33:42,898 --> 01:33:47,980
some of it fails to meet the

2861
01:33:50,137 --> 01:33:50,972
outer edges of the of the the

2862
01:33:50,972 --> 01:33:51,672
And unfortunately, oftentimes

2863
01:33:51,672 --> 01:33:53,400
like birds were all trying to

2864
01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:57,240
flock into one area to try and

2865
01:33:57,845 --> 01:33:59,547
gain access to a resource need

2866
01:33:59,547 --> 01:34:02,850
being met to a thing that we

2867
01:34:02,850 --> 01:34:03,584
need. And unfortunately,

2868
01:34:03,584 --> 01:34:05,584
Jacksonville oftentimes leaves

2869
01:34:06,186 --> 01:34:06,854
many, many districts by the

2870
01:34:06,854 --> 01:34:07,555
wayside. Unfortunately,

2871
01:34:07,555 --> 01:34:09,955
Jackson believes many people,

2872
01:34:11,125 --> 01:34:11,993
many. Institutions, many

2873
01:34:11,993 --> 01:34:14,993
funding things by the wayside.

2874
01:34:15,196 --> 01:34:17,596
When we prioritize funding

2875
01:34:18,899 --> 01:34:19,933
things that are not able to

2876
01:34:19,933 --> 01:34:20,801
actually supplement the

2877
01:34:20,801 --> 01:34:21,502
scattering the way that we are

2878
01:34:21,502 --> 01:34:22,703
continuously scattering seeds

2879
01:34:22,703 --> 01:34:23,337
the way that we are

2880
01:34:23,337 --> 01:34:25,337
continuously only putting

2881
01:34:25,673 --> 01:34:26,841
things in certain areas, only

2882
01:34:26,841 --> 01:34:28,877
putting things in certain

2883
01:34:28,877 --> 01:34:30,477
districts. Only prioritizing

2884
01:34:30,477 --> 01:34:31,512
planting trees in certain

2885
01:34:31,512 --> 01:34:32,180
districts putting mental

2886
01:34:32,180 --> 01:34:33,247
health resources, a certain

2887
01:34:33,247 --> 01:34:35,550
districts and things like

2888
01:34:35,550 --> 01:34:36,250
that. When we only prioritize

2889
01:34:36,250 --> 01:34:37,885
those types of things, it

2890
01:34:37,885 --> 01:34:39,153
creates an unfortunate

2891
01:34:39,153 --> 01:34:39,820
situation where people think

2892
01:34:39,820 --> 01:34:40,521
that things don't exist in

2893
01:34:40,521 --> 01:34:42,921
those districts. People think

2894
01:34:43,224 --> 01:34:45,860
those districts are trashy are

2895
01:34:45,860 --> 01:34:46,961
disgusting. Are invaluable.

2896
01:34:46,961 --> 01:34:47,961
And I do not want that for our

2897
01:34:47,961 --> 01:34:49,960
city. And I know that we've

2898
01:34:49,960 --> 01:34:50,331
heard many, many people say

2899
01:34:50,331 --> 01:34:51,299
that they don't want that for

2900
01:34:51,299 --> 01:34:53,101
their city. They want to be

2901
01:34:53,101 --> 01:34:54,135
able to build community

2902
01:34:54,135 --> 01:34:57,370
gardens. They want to be able

2903
01:34:57,370 --> 01:34:58,306
to have food access, access to

2904
01:34:58,306 --> 01:34:59,206
nature, access to creating

2905
01:34:59,206 --> 01:35:00,908
sustainable living programs

2906
01:35:00,908 --> 01:35:04,780
for not only the humans of

2907
01:35:04,780 --> 01:35:05,212
Jacksonville, but also for the

2908
01:35:05,212 --> 01:35:06,347
animals of Jacksonville, for

2909
01:35:06,347 --> 01:35:07,414
the wildlife of Jacksonville,

2910
01:35:07,414 --> 01:35:07,982
for the nature of

2911
01:35:07,982 --> 01:35:09,450
Jacksonville, for the

2912
01:35:09,450 --> 01:35:10,151
continuing infrastructure of

2913
01:35:10,151 --> 01:35:10,851
Jacksonville, which is what

2914
01:35:10,851 --> 01:35:13,821
the budget is supposed to be

2915
01:35:13,821 --> 01:35:16,423
for. When we highlight and

2916
01:35:16,423 --> 01:35:18,126
over in full size, making sure

2917
01:35:18,126 --> 01:35:21,126
that public safety is only

2918
01:35:21,995 --> 01:35:22,830
administered in one way. We

2919
01:35:22,830 --> 01:35:23,564
often we often see that

2920
01:35:23,564 --> 01:35:26,564
scattering of seeds only being

2921
01:35:27,401 --> 01:35:28,202
concentrated in one area. I

2922
01:35:28,202 --> 01:35:28,936
highly recommend we listen to

2923
01:35:28,936 --> 01:35:29,670
our constituents. We listen to

2924
01:35:29,670 --> 01:35:32,974
the people that come and speak

2925
01:35:32,974 --> 01:35:35,209
to us weekly. I know a few of

2926
01:35:35,209 --> 01:35:35,910
them personally. I highly

2927
01:35:35,910 --> 01:35:36,944
recommend we write down those

2928
01:35:36,944 --> 01:35:37,612
things and we write down those

2929
01:35:37,612 --> 01:35:38,946
names and those groups that

2930
01:35:38,946 --> 01:35:39,714
are coming in speaking to you

2931
01:35:39,714 --> 01:35:42,450
guys and you guys continue to

2932
01:35:42,450 --> 01:35:43,251
have conversations with them.

2933
01:35:43,251 --> 01:35:47,255
I would like to say that I

2934
01:35:47,255 --> 01:35:47,922
would also like to support the

2935
01:35:47,922 --> 01:35:50,240

2937
01:35:50,858 --> 01:35:51,659
would like to decrease

2938

chances. But thank you.

01:38:07,529 --> 01:38:08,196
some seconds. Here's downtown

2994
01:38:08,196 --> 01:38:10,196
Jacksonville. The visitors

2995
01:38:11,699 --> 01:38:12,667
map. You open it and you know

2996
01:38:12,667 --> 01:38:14,502
The kayak launch and Chelsea

2997
01:38:14,502 --> 01:38:17,171
Street, it's not there. Here's

2998
01:38:17,171 --> 01:38:20,171
the new panda. Looking much

2999
01:38:21,542 --> 01:38:22,209
smaller. This one ends. Again.

3000
01:38:22,209 --> 01:38:24,545
The kayak launch and chills

3001
01:38:24,545 --> 01:38:26,881
the streets. Not there. And

3002
01:38:26,881 --> 01:38:28,881
there's legislation comment.

3003
01:38:31,619 --> 01:38:34,121
Well, tell you, take anybody.

3004
01:38:34,121 --> 01:38:36,891
It's the world market 2 last

3005
01:38:36,891 --> 01:38:40,491
speaker is a chill to chat.

3006
01:38:44,332 --> 01:38:45,320
Chapman.

3007
01:38:45,320 --> 01:38:46,401
>> Fellow council members, my

3008
01:38:46,401 --> 01:38:48,803
name is so Sweet. Chapman, a

3009
01:38:48,803 --> 01:38:49,570
single mother of 2 uniquely

3010
01:38:49,570 --> 01:38:53,170
able size and a resident of

3011
01:38:53,641 --> 01:38:55,442
Duval County since 2021. Also

3012
01:38:55,442 --> 01:38:57,311
a member of naacp and the

3013
01:38:57,311 --> 01:38:59,470
founder of guided Gordy

3014
01:38:59,470 --> 01:39:01,182
protecting which will be

3015
01:39:01,182 --> 01:39:02,830
providing a you've academic

3016
01:39:02,830 --> 01:39:02,784
community enrichment program

3017
01:39:02,784 --> 01:39:06,984
for the eu in the near future

3018
01:39:08,220 --> 01:39:09,290
of 2027. I came Jacksonville

3019
01:39:09,290 --> 01:39:09,991
seeking peace grow in a

3020
01:39:09,991 --> 01:39:11,991
stability after homelessness.

3021
01:39:14,962 --> 01:39:16,630
But instead faced re pd

3022
01:39:16,630 --> 01:39:17,320
negligence. The lay-in

3023
01:39:17,320 --> 01:39:18,632
violations from the city of

3024
01:39:18,632 --> 01:39:19,267
Jacksonville that prolonged

3025
01:39:19,267 --> 01:39:21,667
our hardship endanger my

3026
01:39:23,571 --> 01:39:25,571
family's well-being. Despite

3027
01:39:26,641 --> 01:39:27,442
clear needs in eligibility,

3028
01:39:27,442 --> 01:39:28,610
essential services were

3029
01:39:28,610 --> 01:39:30,478
mishandled or denied, leaving

3030
01:39:30,478 --> 01:39:31,450
my children without consistent

3031
01:39:31,450 --> 01:39:32,947
disability support in

3032
01:39:32,947 --> 01:39:35,283
Portsmouth to navigate in

3033
01:39:35,283 --> 01:39:37,285
instability. No family should

3034
01:39:37,285 --> 01:39:39,420
indoor the systematic failures

3035
01:39:39,420 --> 01:39:40,121
caused emotional financial in

3036
01:39:40,121 --> 01:39:42,521
physical harm. Wild strucked

3037
01:39:43,158 --> 01:39:43,724
in our path forward, securing

3038
01:39:43,724 --> 01:39:45,724
housing and economic

3039
01:39:48,629 --> 01:39:49,497
independence. Even through

3040
01:39:49,497 --> 01:39:51,497
challenges speak publicly

3041
01:39:51,599 --> 01:39:53,434
because the residents of Duval

3042
01:39:53,434 --> 01:39:54,736
experience reflects a broader

3043
01:39:54,736 --> 01:39:55,470
pattern of institutional

3044
01:39:55,470 --> 01:39:56,705
neglect affecting grand double

3045
01:39:56,705 --> 01:39:58,705
families across Jacksonville.

3046
01:40:00,475 --> 01:40:01,843
I remain committed advocating

3047
01:40:01,843 --> 01:40:02,510
for accountability change in a

3048
01:40:02,510 --> 01:40:05,510
few to work. Families like

3049
01:40:06,448 --> 01:40:07,782
mine receive the or they are

3050
01:40:07,782 --> 01:40:09,351
promised council members. I'm

3051
01:40:09,351 --> 01:40:11,219
here to address that clear

3052
01:40:11,219 --> 01:40:11,920
shift in Jacksonville spending

3053
01:40:11,920 --> 01:40:14,320
priorities between the budget

3054
01:40:17,859 --> 01:40:18,593
of 2019 and the 2026 20 7

3055
01:40:18,593 --> 01:40:19,293
budget. And what those changes

3056
01:40:19,293 --> 01:40:22,563
mean for the people who live

3057
01:40:22,563 --> 01:40:24,963
here. In 2019, the City

3058
01:40:25,333 --> 01:40:27,201
General Fund exceeded 1.2, 6

3059
01:40:27,201 --> 01:40:29,201
billion with nearly

3060
01:40:29,504 --> 01:40:31,504
750 million dedicated to

3061
01:40:32,140 --> 01:40:32,874
public safety infrastructure

3062
01:40:32,874 --> 01:40:35,274
improvements relied heavily on

3063
01:40:35,777 --> 01:40:36,878
debt and social investments

3064
01:40:36,878 --> 01:40:38,790
were limited. That budget

3065
01:40:38,790 --> 01:40:39,413
maintain basic operations, but

3066
01:40:39,413 --> 01:40:41,813
he did not deliver

3067
01:40:42,584 --> 01:40:44,584
transformative change for

3068
01:40:46,554 --> 01:40:47,122
residents in 2026. 2027 and

3069
01:40:47,122 --> 01:40:47,822
the public faith, the

3070
01:40:47,822 --> 01:40:49,691
feel-good phones about 55% of

3071
01:40:49,691 --> 01:40:50,358
the general fund. While people

3072
01:40:50,358 --> 01:40:53,358
in this news remains small,

3073
01:40:56,898 --> 01:40:58,898
it. 7.3% The capital

3074
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:01,400
improvement plan has exploded

3075
01:41:02,536 --> 01:41:05,536
for 262 million for the year.

3076
01:41:05,906 --> 01:41:08,175
And 1.2 billion over 5 years.

3077
01:41:08,175 --> 01:41:10,440
With 1 billion funded through

3078
01:41:10,440 --> 01:41:12,440
borrowing these. This

3079
01:41:12,514 --> 01:41:13,800
represents a major strategic

3080
01:41:13,800 --> 01:41:15,800
shift towards driven

3081
01:41:15,884 --> 01:41:17,884
infrastructure expansion. The

3082
01:41:18,153 --> 01:41:18,853
pattern 5th in public safety

3083

ma'am. Programs.

3085
01:41:24,592 --> 01:41:25,560

3359
01:51:37,506 --> 01:51:40,342
currently no bus stops, know,

3360
01:51:40,342 --> 01:51:42,478
routes along this section and

3361
01:51:42,478 --> 01:51:43,179
the closest bus stops around

3362
01:51:43,179 --> 01:51:45,748
Saint Augustine Road about a

3363
01:51:45,748 --> 01:51:49,552
3rd of a mile away or half a

3364
01:51:49,552 --> 01:51:50,319
mile to Powers Avenue to east.

3365
01:51:50,319 --> 01:51:51,821
This is important to consider

3366
01:51:51,821 --> 01:51:52,654
when increasing housing

3367
01:51:52,654 --> 01:51:55,540
density, according to the

3368
01:51:57,993 --> 01:52:00,393
comprehensive plan. And in

3369
01:52:01,797 --> 01:52:03,320
2025, the city of Jacksonville

3370
01:52:03,320 --> 01:52:03,966
traffic study identified this

3371
01:52:03,966 --> 01:52:06,468
section of road. The Kings

3372
01:52:06,468 --> 01:52:09,468
Trail School property is on

3373
01:52:10,406 --> 01:52:11,706
gets about 2500 trips daily.

3374
01:52:11,706 --> 01:52:14,706
But f dot estimates 3600 trips

3375
01:52:15,210 --> 01:52:17,613
daily in this section as

3376
01:52:17,613 --> 01:52:20,130
comparison of collectors to

3377
01:52:20,315 --> 01:52:22,715
our West, Saint Augustine

3378
01:52:22,885 --> 01:52:24,853
Road, its quest to find some

3379
01:52:24,853 --> 01:52:26,755
minor arterial. And it has 4

3380
01:52:26,755 --> 01:52:30,355
lanes but no parking or turn

3381
01:52:30,859 --> 01:52:33,262
lanes and it gets over 16,000

3382
01:52:33,262 --> 01:52:34,930
daily trips and it's 60%

3383
01:52:34,930 --> 01:52:36,930
capacity, according to

3384
01:52:37,466 --> 01:52:40,466
projections to our East Powers

3385
01:52:40,770 --> 01:52:41,470
Avenue, a minor arterial. It's

3386
01:52:41,470 --> 01:52:43,870
a suburb in commercial

3387
01:52:44,207 --> 01:52:47,207
collectors, c 3 c has 4 lanes

3388
01:52:47,877 --> 01:52:48,611
with a center turn lane. It is

3389
01:52:48,611 --> 01:52:50,611
estimated that over 21,000

3390
01:52:52,247 --> 01:52:52,915
average daily trips and is it

3391
01:52:52,915 --> 01:52:55,315
about 58% of the projected

3392
01:52:56,819 --> 01:52:57,486
volume? Powers also has

3393
01:52:57,486 --> 01:53:01,860
routes, bus stops in a bike

3394
01:53:02,758 --> 01:53:03,859
lane. The proposed land use

3395
01:53:03,859 --> 01:53:06,963
change would open this area to

3396
01:53:06,963 --> 01:53:07,829
medium density residential

3397
01:53:07,829 --> 01:53:09,832
development, according to the

3398
01:53:09,832 --> 01:53:11,832
traffic engineers analysis.

3399
01:53:12,340 --> 01:53:15,340
Thank you, ma'am. Thank you.

Boulevard. I'll go quickly on

3404
01:53:24,814 --> 01:53:25,781
this. This piece of property

3405
01:53:25,781 --> 01:53:29,251
joining a parcel that you zone

3406
01:53:29,251 --> 01:53:29,952
for the exact same use. They

3407
01:53:29,952 --> 01:53:32,952
were backing of this property

3408
01:53:33,188 --> 01:53:34,557
less than 6 months ago. We're

3409
01:53:34,557 --> 01:53:35,658
proposing down-zoning on the

3410
01:53:35,658 --> 01:53:37,920
site currently being used for

3411
01:53:37,920 --> 01:53:37,960
school. The school board's

3412
01:53:37,960 --> 01:53:41,497
closing down. It's going to be

3413
01:53:41,497 --> 01:53:42,164
institutional used to single

3414
01:53:42,164 --> 01:53:43,799
family residential the road

3415
01:53:43,799 --> 01:53:46,199
that they're talking about

3416
01:53:48,300 --> 01:53:49,671
King's Road at the spot that

3417
01:53:49,671 --> 01:53:52,671

the road is capacity yet 14%.

3419
01:53:54,677 --> 01:53:55,778
There's 86% capacity,

3420
01:53:55,778 --> 01:53:58,178
according to the plate

3421
01:53:58,214 --> 01:54:00,160

3422
01:54:00,160 --> 01:54:00,817
everything that they propose

3423
01:54:00,817 --> 01:54:03,686
in there, but that they handed

3424
01:54:03,686 --> 01:54:05,387
out to is incorrect. It is

3425
01:54:05,387 --> 01:54:06,121
counter to the plane

3426
01:54:06,121 --> 01:54:08,521

3428
01:54:10,659 --> 01:54:11,560
on those issues. So I'll be

recommends 2 conditions. The

3454
01:55:08,117 --> 01:55:10,517
standard traffic study and

3455
01:55:10,686 --> 01:55:11,487
requiring guest parking to be

3456
01:55:11,487 --> 01:55:13,822
provided in accordance with

3457
01:55:13,822 --> 01:55:14,824
the code at a ratio, one

3458
01:55:14,824 --> 01:55:17,224
parking space for every 3

3459
01:55:17,660 --> 01:55:18,260
townhomes and or cottages at

01:55:18,260 --> 01:55:20,960
the Planning Commission

3461
01:55:20,960 --> 01:55:20,797
hearing on JULY. 23, the

3462
01:55:20,797 --> 01:55:23,197
attorney for the applicant

3463
01:55:23,800 --> 01:55:24,467
agreed to the traffic study

3464
01:55:24,467 --> 01:55:26,602
the belt, but balked being

3465
01:55:26,602 --> 01:55:27,336
required to provide guests

3466
01:55:27,336 --> 01:55:30,336
parking stating its burden to

3467
01:55:30,973 --> 01:55:34,573
maintain. If you look at Page

3468
01:55:34,710 --> 01:55:35,911
9 of the staff report, it

3469
01:55:35,911 --> 01:55:36,546
explicitly states as a number

3470
01:55:36,546 --> 01:55:37,179
of town home and cut his

3471
01:55:37,179 --> 01:55:39,179
development has increased

3472
01:55:39,815 --> 01:55:40,550
throughout the city. The

3473
01:55:40,550 --> 01:55:41,284
Planning Department and Public

3474
01:55:41,284 --> 01:55:43,553
Works. Department had received

3475
01:55:43,553 --> 01:55:44,220
a growing number of complaints

3476
01:55:44,220 --> 01:55:45,520
regarding inadequate guess

3477
01:55:45,520 --> 01:55:47,389
parking within these

3478
01:55:47,389 --> 01:55:48,190
communities and sufficient

3479
01:55:48,190 --> 01:55:50,293
guess parking often results in

3480
01:55:50,293 --> 01:55:50,993
vehicles being park along

3481
01:55:50,993 --> 01:55:53,993
internal roadways or a chase

3482
01:55:54,970 --> 01:55:56,131
in Public street, creating

3483
01:55:56,131 --> 01:55:57,233
potential traffic circulation

3484
01:55:57,233 --> 01:55:59,135
issues impacting neighboring

3485
01:55:59,135 --> 01:56:01,103
residential areas requiring

3486
01:56:01,103 --> 01:56:03,138
guest parking as the standard

3487
01:56:03,138 --> 01:56:03,773
ratio will help accommodate

3488
01:56:03,773 --> 01:56:04,907
those are parking demand

3489
01:56:04,907 --> 01:56:06,750
reduced on tree parking

3490
01:56:06,750 --> 01:56:08,750
conflicts and maintain

3491
01:56:09,144 --> 01:56:09,679
compatibility with surrounding

3492
01:56:09,679 --> 01:56:10,312
neighborhoods. Jose

3493
01:56:10,312 --> 01:56:10,946
Neighborhood Association

3494
01:56:10,946 --> 01:56:12,946
wholeheartedly agrees and

3495
01:56:14,183 --> 01:56:15,685
adds. That relying upon

3496
01:56:15,685 --> 01:56:16,385
on-street parking will also

3497
01:56:16,385 --> 01:56:18,785
create an unnecessary hurdle

3498
01:56:18,921 --> 01:56:19,621
for emergency responders do

3499
01:56:19,621 --> 01:56:22,621
that are proposed in 2 major

3500
01:56:22,658 --> 01:56:24,327
of the project and limited

3501
01:56:24,327 --> 01:56:25,694
availability for on-street

3502
01:56:25,694 --> 01:56:26,328
parking. We respectively

3503
01:56:26,328 --> 01:56:26,996
request that you consider

3504
01:56:26,996 --> 01:56:28,897
approval to account credit

3505
01:56:28,897 --> 01:56:29,631
because parking thank you.

3506
01:56:29,631 --> 01:56:33,231
Thank you, Sir. Thank you, MR.

3508
01:56:34,337 --> 01:56:36,639
>> Thank you. CHAIRMAN Paul

3509
01:56:36,639 --> 01:56:37,373
Hard 14. They want replace

3510
01:56:37,373 --> 01:56:39,642
school board. We have proposed

3511
01:56:39,642 --> 01:56:40,309
that the planning commission

3512
01:56:40,309 --> 01:56:43,309
that the guests parking in

3513
01:56:44,814 --> 01:56:45,781
front of the houses, the lot

3514
01:56:45,781 --> 01:56:47,583
to lot louder than 31 feet.

3515
01:56:47,583 --> 01:56:49,419
They have room for parking on

3516
01:56:49,419 --> 01:56:50,119
the front. Otherwise what you

3517
01:56:50,119 --> 01:56:53,119
would have its guest parking

3518
01:56:53,923 --> 01:56:54,624
scattered throughout the

3519
01:56:54,624 --> 01:56:56,759
subdivision. There are people

3520
01:56:56,759 --> 01:56:58,561
use for storage. They're not

3521
01:56:58,561 --> 01:57:00,290
used for parking. People want

3522
01:57:00,290 --> 01:57:01,830
to park and then come visit.

3523
01:57:01,830 --> 01:57:03,665
So walked through 4 houses

3524
01:57:03,665 --> 01:57:05,101
away. We'll have some of the

3525
01:57:05,101 --> 01:57:05,768
folks for bring finders here

3526
01:57:05,768 --> 01:57:08,570
to answer the questions on

3527
01:57:08,570 --> 01:57:12,575
that. But we we think that the

3528
01:57:12,575 --> 01:57:13,509
proposed plan proposed in the

3529
01:57:13,509 --> 01:57:14,209
site plan in the application

3530
01:57:14,209 --> 01:57:16,609
fits this requirement. Thank

3531
01:57:18,280 --> 01:57:18,981

>> Again, Kristie Kenney

3543
01:57:54,917 --> 01:57:57,917
address on file. As written 0,

3544
01:57:58,888 --> 01:57:59,488
4, should not pass for nearly

3545
01:57:59,488 --> 01:58:00,222
75 years. Our San Jose

3546
01:58:00,222 --> 01:58:01,990
neighborhood settled the side.

3547
01:58:01,990 --> 01:58:02,659
The Kings Trail Elementary

3548
01:58:02,659 --> 01:58:05,659
School. It was not perfect,

3549
01:58:06,262 --> 01:58:06,862
but it was predictable.

3550
01:58:06,862 --> 01:58:07,564
Families understood the

3551
01:58:07,564 --> 01:58:09,964
relationship with teen their

3552
01:58:10,299 --> 01:58:12,935
homes and that property. The

3553
01:58:12,935 --> 01:58:13,536
school served a profound

3554
01:58:13,536 --> 01:58:14,237
public purpose and the

3555
01:58:14,237 --> 01:58:16,237
surrounding community rooted

3556
01:58:16,605 --> 01:58:18,608
around that reality that

3557
01:58:18,608 --> 01:58:19,308
chapters changing and we

3558
01:58:19,308 --> 01:58:21,678
understand the properties to

3559
01:58:21,678 --> 01:58:22,278
not remain frozen in time. We

3560
01:58:22,278 --> 01:58:22,911
understand that housing

3561
01:58:22,911 --> 01:58:23,613
demands are different and

3562
01:58:23,613 --> 01:58:26,249
we're not asking this council

3563
01:58:26,249 --> 01:58:28,317
to stop progress, quality

3564
01:58:28,317 --> 01:58:29,185
planning asks a significant

3565
01:58:29,185 --> 01:58:32,185
question when one land use

3566
01:58:32,254 --> 01:58:32,989
gives way to another. Will we

3567
01:58:32,989 --> 01:58:35,570
build the right bridge between

3568
01:58:35,570 --> 01:58:36,459
the old and the new?

3569
01:58:36,459 --> 01:58:38,595
>> Because the city is not

3570
01:58:38,595 --> 01:58:39,161
simply approving housing. Its

3571
01:58:39,161 --> 01:58:41,300
granting a new set of

3572
01:58:41,300 --> 01:58:41,630
development rights that will

3573
01:58:41,630 --> 01:58:42,265
remain attached to this

3574
01:58:42,265 --> 01:58:45,000
property with the pd long

3575
01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:45,601
after we're gone. The former

3576
01:58:45,601 --> 01:58:47,360
school property in the

3577
01:58:47,360 --> 01:58:47,837
proposed development are not

3578
01:58:47,837 --> 01:58:50,237
equivalent uses simply because

3579
01:58:50,639 --> 01:58:52,410
the apa tie the same acreage.

3580
01:58:52,410 --> 01:58:52,808
One was a public institutional

3581
01:58:52,808 --> 01:58:54,808
use activity concentrated

3582
01:58:54,844 --> 01:58:57,244
around school calendar and

3583
01:58:57,780 --> 01:58:58,447
activities. The other creates

3584
01:58:58,447 --> 01:59:00,447
110 permanent household and

3585
01:59:01,417 --> 01:59:02,284
the intensities of such that

3586
01:59:02,284 --> 01:59:05,284
difference matters. It is why

3587
01:59:05,321 --> 01:59:07,560
the pd written description

3588
01:59:07,560 --> 01:59:08,240
matters. Apd is not a

3589
01:59:08,240 --> 01:59:08,724
contingency. It is a legal

3590
01:59:08,724 --> 01:59:10,493
instrument that defines what

3591
01:59:10,493 --> 01:59:12,361
can and cannot happen on this

3592
01:59:12,361 --> 01:59:14,361
property. The applicant

3593
01:59:14,430 --> 01:59:16,165
suggested that many of the

3594
01:59:16,165 --> 01:59:16,866
protections are neighborhood

3595
01:59:16,866 --> 01:59:19,266
request unreasonable but will

3596
01:59:20,202 --> 01:59:22,471
likely happen anyway and are

3597
01:59:22,471 --> 01:59:23,973
intent. Respectfully likely is

3598
01:59:23,973 --> 01:59:24,941
not a zoning standard and of

3599
01:59:24,941 --> 01:59:25,474
our community cannot think

3600
01:59:25,474 --> 01:59:26,909
feel and believe to

3601
01:59:26,909 --> 01:59:28,909
substantiate or request

3602
01:59:29,478 --> 01:59:30,180
neither can the applicant.

3603
01:59:30,180 --> 01:59:32,315
This is still a school board

3604
01:59:32,315 --> 01:59:35,315
property. Our ask is the

3605
01:59:35,818 --> 01:59:36,552
language you approve. Our

3606
01:59:36,552 --> 01:59:38,552
neighborhood is requested 5

3607
01:59:38,621 --> 01:59:40,523
reasonable additions to the pd

3608
01:59:40,523 --> 01:59:41,157
written description. They are

3609
01:59:41,157 --> 01:59:41,758
not unreasonable demands.

3610
01:59:41,758 --> 01:59:43,526
Their modest safeguards

3611
01:59:43,526 --> 01:59:45,294
intended to ensure that the

3612
01:59:45,294 --> 01:59:45,862
transition from a long

3613
01:59:45,862 --> 01:59:46,496
established suburban

3614
01:59:46,496 --> 01:59:48,331
neighborhood to a higher

3615
01:59:48,331 --> 01:59:49,698
intensity, urban residential

3616
01:59:49,698 --> 01:59:50,866
development occurs

3617
01:59:50,866 --> 01:59:52,969
respectfully for all property

3618
01:59:52,969 --> 01:59:55,369
owners for 4 months. Residents

3619
01:59:55,838 --> 01:59:56,872
of asked for collaboration.

3620
01:59:56,872 --> 01:59:59,272
We've reviewed plans, studied

3621
01:59:59,475 --> 02:00:00,376
impacts and offered solutions.

3622
02:00:00,376 --> 02:00:03,179
We've not come here to oppose.

3623
02:00:03,179 --> 02:00:04,514
We've come here to improve

3624
02:00:04,514 --> 02:00:05,214
during the planning commission

3625
02:00:05,214 --> 02:00:07,500
hearing. All of those efforts

3626
02:00:07,500 --> 02:00:09,252
were dismissed rather than

3627
02:00:09,252 --> 02:00:09,952
examined, but disagreements

3628
02:00:09,952 --> 02:00:10,653
should never replace evidence

3629
02:00:10,653 --> 02:00:13,530
and frustration should never

3630
02:00:15,524 --> 02:00:16,258
replace planning. Do not ask

3631
02:00:16,258 --> 02:00:19,258
this neighborhood to trust but

3632
02:00:19,662 --> 02:00:20,597
cannot be enforced to rely on

3633
02:00:20,597 --> 02:00:21,297
assurances never written down.

3634
02:00:21,297 --> 02:00:25,401
How can we be expected to do

3635
02:00:25,401 --> 02:00:26,102
that?

3636
02:00:26,102 --> 02:00:29,102
>> Thanks. We have Lisa Free

3637
02:00:32,442 --> 02:00:33,420
lander. That's close.

3638
02:00:33,420 --> 02:00:35,420
>> Lisa Friedlander, my

3639
02:00:35,745 --> 02:00:38,145
addresses on file. I

3640
02:00:38,448 --> 02:00:40,482
respectfully urge you to

3641
02:00:40,482 --> 02:00:41,885
oppose ordinance. 2026 Dash,

3642
02:00:41,885 --> 02:00:43,885
0, 4, 7, 8, unless it is

3643
02:00:44,821 --> 02:00:45,521
amended to require meaningful

3644
02:00:45,521 --> 02:00:46,155
protection. This property is

3645
02:00:46,155 --> 02:00:48,555
wetlands and mature tree

3646
02:00:50,660 --> 02:00:52,895
canopy. In the last 3 years.

3647
02:00:52,895 --> 02:00:54,464
Within 1.6 miles of our San

3648
02:00:54,464 --> 02:00:56,864
Jose neighborhood. We have

3649
02:00:58,601 --> 02:00:59,502
lost 105 acres, a forest that

3650
02:00:59,502 --> 02:01:03,720
served as a major ecosystem to

3651
02:01:03,720 --> 02:01:05,341
our area. Clear cut by

3652
02:01:05,341 --> 02:01:07,210
developers for affordable

3653
02:01:07,210 --> 02:01:09,210
housing apartments, luxury

3654
02:01:12,148 --> 02:01:13,249
apartments and townhomes. 105

3655
02:01:13,249 --> 02:01:16,249
acres of beautiful trees and

3656
02:01:17,653 --> 02:01:18,321
wildlife gone. I would be

3657
02:01:18,321 --> 02:01:19,488
lying if I said, I believe

3658
02:01:19,488 --> 02:01:21,888
that the planning Commission

3659
02:01:22,458 --> 02:01:25,458
or dream Finders cares about

3660
02:01:25,761 --> 02:01:27,397
the 1.2 acres of wetlands

3661
02:01:27,397 --> 02:01:28,300
behind the Kings Trail

3662
02:01:28,300 --> 02:01:30,430
Elementary School. But we

3663
02:01:32,200 --> 02:01:34,938
care. Instead of an extensive

3664
02:01:34,938 --> 02:01:35,638
clearing of the 1.2 acres of

3665
02:01:35,638 --> 02:01:38,638
wetlands which are live oaks

3666
02:01:39,800 --> 02:01:40,900
and cypress trees. The builder

3667
02:01:40,900 --> 02:01:42,846
could choose to utilize this

3668
02:01:42,846 --> 02:01:43,580
land for the benefit of

3669
02:01:43,580 --> 02:01:45,980
themselves. New homeowners and

3670
02:01:46,349 --> 02:01:48,217
the existing neighborhood.

3671
02:01:48,217 --> 02:01:49,180
There is research supporting

3672
02:01:49,180 --> 02:01:52,180
this path. Please refer to

3673
02:01:52,956 --> 02:01:53,923
your binder. The San Jose area

3674
02:01:53,923 --> 02:01:55,658
is one of the few remaining

3675
02:01:55,658 --> 02:01:58,658
gems in Jacksonville from Bay

3676
02:01:59,862 --> 02:02:01,565
Meadows, North. 2 San Marco.

3677
02:02:01,565 --> 02:02:02,999
It's a pleasant drive with

3678
02:02:02,999 --> 02:02:05,999
mature trees and no strip

3679
02:02:06,369 --> 02:02:09,172
malls. Every few miles. I have

3680
02:02:09,172 --> 02:02:10,406
so much respect and gratitude

3681
02:02:10,406 --> 02:02:13,406
for the San Jose Neighborhood

3682
02:02:13,443 --> 02:02:15,444
Association. I but I belong

3683
02:02:15,444 --> 02:02:16,146
to. They have worked

3684
02:02:16,146 --> 02:02:18,546
tirelessly giving their time

3685
02:02:18,748 --> 02:02:19,982
and money to try and preserve

3686
02:02:19,982 --> 02:02:20,683
our neighborhood. Even though

3687
02:02:20,683 --> 02:02:23,683
the game same stacked against

3688
02:02:24,721 --> 02:02:25,655
the people. Jacksonville is

3689
02:02:25,655 --> 02:02:26,322
blessed to have such a caring

3690
02:02:26,322 --> 02:02:29,922
citizens as a part of their

3691
02:02:30,360 --> 02:02:31,428
community. I respectfully ask

3692
02:02:31,428 --> 02:02:35,280
you to vote no on this

3693
02:02:35,131 --> 02:02:35,865
ordinance. 0, 4, 7, 8, and

3694
02:02:35,865 --> 02:02:37,865
less environmental protections

3695
02:02:37,934 --> 02:02:39,903
are made a condition of

3696
02:02:39,903 --> 02:02:41,804
approval. Once these let

3697
02:02:41,804 --> 02:02:43,740
wetlands are filled in these

3698
02:02:43,740 --> 02:02:45,542
trees are removed. They cannot

3699
02:02:45,542 --> 02:02:48,440
be replaced. We have an

3700
02:02:48,440 --> 02:02:49,145
obligation to ensure growth

3701
02:02:49,145 --> 02:02:51,347
occurs responsibly and in

3702
02:02:51,347 --> 02:02:52,480
accordance with the standards

3703
02:02:52,480 --> 02:02:54,150
the city Council has already

3704
02:02:54,150 --> 02:02:54,817
adopted. Thank you for time.

3705
02:02:54,817 --> 02:02:57,817
>> next, we have the least

3706
02:03:01,358 --> 02:03:02,191
brush.

3707
02:03:02,191 --> 02:03:04,994
>> Good evening. My name is

3708
02:03:04,994 --> 02:03:05,895
Alice Bureau should address on

3709
02:03:05,895 --> 02:03:07,797
record and I'm the PRESIDENT

3710
02:03:07,797 --> 02:03:09,732
Of the San Jose Neighborhood

3711
02:03:09,732 --> 02:03:11,167
Association. I'll be speaking

3712
02:03:11,167 --> 02:03:11,801
to Purple Tab 5 in your

3713
02:03:11,801 --> 02:03:14,201
binders and submit those

3714
02:03:15,400 --> 02:03:17,707
documents for the record. I

3715
02:03:17,707 --> 02:03:18,909
oppose ordinance 2026, 0, 4,

3716
02:03:18,909 --> 02:03:21,309
7, 8, not the project itself,

3717
02:03:21,545 --> 02:03:22,946
but the pd as written. There

3718
02:03:22,946 --> 02:03:25,548
are things about the project

3719
02:03:25,548 --> 02:03:26,215
we can support. But the pd

3720
02:03:26,215 --> 02:03:27,383
written description leaves

3721
02:03:27,383 --> 02:03:28,840
many questions unanswered in

3722
02:03:28,840 --> 02:03:29,285
leaves a blank check for the

3723
02:03:29,285 --> 02:03:31,685
developer to cash without

3724
02:03:33,189 --> 02:03:34,323
community input. At the

3725
02:03:34,323 --> 02:03:36,592
Planning Commission hearing on

3726
02:03:36,592 --> 02:03:37,260
JULY 23rd, MR. Harden callers

3727
02:03:37,260 --> 02:03:39,660
are requested conditions as

3728
02:03:41,364 --> 02:03:41,998
unreasonable. That MAY seem

3729
02:03:41,998 --> 02:03:42,899
like a true statement to

3730
02:03:42,899 --> 02:03:43,766
someone who doesn't live in

3731
02:03:43,766 --> 02:03:46,603
the area and travel the

3732
02:03:46,603 --> 02:03:47,770
roadways on a daily basis or

3733
02:03:47,770 --> 02:03:48,405
even to someone who doesn't

3734
02:03:48,405 --> 02:03:50,805
live directly across the

3735
02:03:51,507 --> 02:03:52,943
street from the project site.

3736
02:03:52,943 --> 02:03:54,210
Our neighborhood is asking for

3737
02:03:54,210 --> 02:03:56,179
5 specific conditions to

3738
02:03:56,179 --> 02:03:58,348
protect character of our

3739
02:03:58,348 --> 02:03:59,415
neighborhood, all supported by

3740
02:03:59,415 --> 02:04:00,510
the comprehensive plan,

3741
02:04:00,510 --> 02:04:02,451
Florida statutes in prior

3742
02:04:03,787 --> 02:04:04,921
counsel actions. One of those

3743
02:04:04,921 --> 02:04:07,900
conditions is housing for the

3744
02:04:07,900 --> 02:04:07,891
elderly, which the applicant

3745
02:04:07,891 --> 02:04:08,525
has identified as one of the

3746
02:04:08,525 --> 02:04:10,525
principal permitted uses

3747
02:04:12,610 --> 02:04:12,996
within this pd. Because the

3748
02:04:12,996 --> 02:04:13,629
written description does not

3749
02:04:13,629 --> 02:04:16,290
define what qualifies as

3750
02:04:16,933 --> 02:04:17,634
housing for the elderly. The

3751
02:04:17,634 --> 02:04:18,335
ordinance should express Lee

3752
02:04:18,335 --> 02:04:20,735
require that any development

3753
02:04:21,137 --> 02:04:22,338
relying on this authorization

3754
02:04:22,338 --> 02:04:24,274
comply with the federal

3755
02:04:24,274 --> 02:04:24,874
Housing for Older Persons Act

3756
02:04:24,874 --> 02:04:25,541
and its implementing

3757
02:04:25,541 --> 02:04:28,541
regulations for the life of

3758
02:04:29,645 --> 02:04:30,313
the development. Requiring

3759
02:04:30,313 --> 02:04:32,480
compliance with Copa simply

3760
02:04:32,480 --> 02:04:36,248
ensures that it if it get this

3761
02:04:36,319 --> 02:04:38,254
permit, uses pursued. It

3762
02:04:38,254 --> 02:04:39,256
functions as a true age

3763
02:04:39,256 --> 02:04:39,990
qualify community consistent

3764
02:04:39,990 --> 02:04:40,657
with both the applicants

3765
02:04:40,657 --> 02:04:42,657
representations and federal

3766
02:04:45,329 --> 02:04:47,363
law. We recognize the need for

3767
02:04:47,363 --> 02:04:48,331
and would welcome a 55 plus

3768
02:04:48,331 --> 02:04:50,331
independent living active

3769
02:04:51,801 --> 02:04:54,271
adult community in our area.

3770
02:04:54,271 --> 02:04:55,710
In fact, of the 4 active adult

3771
02:04:55,710 --> 02:04:57,471
communities within a 10 mile

3772
02:04:57,574 --> 02:04:58,575
radius of this project site.

3773
02:04:58,575 --> 02:05:00,676
Only one offers detached

3774
02:05:00,676 --> 02:05:03,676
single family homes. And it's

3775
02:05:04,800 --> 02:05:05,315
the farthest from the site.

3776
02:05:05,315 --> 02:05:07,116
I'd like to mention that

3777
02:05:07,116 --> 02:05:07,917
despite our best efforts we've

3778
02:05:07,917 --> 02:05:08,584
not been given the opportunity

3779
02:05:08,584 --> 02:05:12,184
to meet with Mr, Harden or

3780
02:05:12,956 --> 02:05:14,123
have a town hall. Although the

3781
02:05:14,123 --> 02:05:15,892
affected parties were afforded

3782
02:05:15,892 --> 02:05:16,860
some type of virtual meeting.

3783
02:05:16,860 --> 02:05:17,560
The San Jose Neighborhood

3784
02:05:17,560 --> 02:05:19,960
Association was not notified

3785
02:05:21,565 --> 02:05:24,565
or invited. Lastly in JUNE,

3786
02:05:24,734 --> 02:05:25,602
the South, the cpac voted

3787
02:05:25,602 --> 02:05:26,869
unanimously 19, 2, 0, to

3788
02:05:26,869 --> 02:05:28,672
submit a letter recommending a

3789
02:05:28,672 --> 02:05:29,706
deferment to provide the

3790
02:05:29,706 --> 02:05:31,474
planning commission and the

3791
02:05:31,474 --> 02:05:32,740
public with additional time to

3792
02:05:32,740 --> 02:05:33,976
carefully evaluate the

3793
02:05:33,976 --> 02:05:34,544
benefits and concerns

3794
02:05:34,544 --> 02:05:36,544
associated with these

3795
02:05:37,113 --> 02:05:39,490
ordinances. And potential

3796
02:05:39,490 --> 02:05:40,183
effects on the surrounding

3797
02:05:40,183 --> 02:05:43,183
neighborhood. A copy of the

3798
02:05:44,287 --> 02:05:45,388
cpac letter is in your binder.

3799
02:05:45,388 --> 02:05:46,489
The planning commission

3800
02:05:46,489 --> 02:05:47,223
declined to differ. But if are

3801
02:05:47,223 --> 02:05:47,958
given more time, we're

3802
02:05:47,958 --> 02:05:48,691
confident we can work with the

3803
02:05:48,691 --> 02:05:50,930
applicant to reach a solution.

3804
02:05:50,930 --> 02:05:51,961
Thank you for your time.

3805
02:05:51,961 --> 02:05:55,561
>> Thank u next. We have meet

3806
02:05:57,801 --> 02:05:59,801
Cal Phil.

3807
02:05:59,802 --> 02:06:00,136
>> Good evening. I'm Amy

3808
02:06:00,136 --> 02:06:02,136
Calfee.

3809
02:06:03,906 --> 02:06:06,306
>> thank Writing one wing

3810
02:06:08,245 --> 02:06:09,913
here. Sorry about that.

3811
02:06:09,913 --> 02:06:12,913
>> Yeah. So Amy Calfee with

3812
02:06:14,117 --> 02:06:14,818
Jose Neighborhood Association.

3813
02:06:14,818 --> 02:06:16,686
My addresses on file and I'm

3814
02:06:16,686 --> 02:06:17,387
speaking opposition to the

3815
02:06:17,387 --> 02:06:19,787
proposed ordinance o for 7, 8

3816
02:06:20,824 --> 02:06:22,191
as written. Having spoken here

3817
02:06:22,191 --> 02:06:25,863
before you all up, asked us to

3818
02:06:25,863 --> 02:06:27,230
just don't say no, bring some

3819
02:06:27,230 --> 02:06:28,898
ideas. So in your binders and

3820
02:06:28,898 --> 02:06:31,835
we keep referring to that,

3821
02:06:31,835 --> 02:06:33,469
it's quick reference material

3822
02:06:33,469 --> 02:06:34,104
full of competent and

3823
02:06:34,104 --> 02:06:36,104
substantial evidence

3824
02:06:37,374 --> 02:06:37,941
supporting the beauties

3825
02:06:37,941 --> 02:06:38,608
conditions that we're

3826
02:06:38,608 --> 02:06:39,843
requesting. So you've heard

3827
02:06:39,843 --> 02:06:40,811
about wetland Seaford, about

3828
02:06:40,811 --> 02:06:43,313
traffic. Mike, to talk to you

3829
02:06:43,313 --> 02:06:44,514
about building heights and the

3830
02:06:44,514 --> 02:06:47,514
buffer along old Kings Road

3831
02:06:50,687 --> 02:06:53,870
South. The application allows

3832
02:06:53,289 --> 02:06:53,924
structures up to 35 feet on 31

3833
02:06:53,924 --> 02:06:55,925
foot wide. Lots right up

3834
02:06:55,925 --> 02:06:57,628
against our neighborhood

3835
02:06:57,628 --> 02:07:00,628
boundary. That's a sharp jab

3836
02:07:01,531 --> 02:07:02,632
Primarily single story.

3837
02:07:02,632 --> 02:07:03,233
Single-family homes and after

3838
02:07:03,233 --> 02:07:05,233
the Planning Commission

3839
02:07:06,803 --> 02:07:07,470
hearing last week, the

3840
02:07:07,470 --> 02:07:08,271
applicant's representative

3841
02:07:08,271 --> 02:07:10,607
confirmed that the product is

3842
02:07:10,607 --> 02:07:13,577
intended to be single story.

3843
02:07:13,577 --> 02:07:15,546
Cottages across the whole

3844
02:07:15,546 --> 02:07:16,646
site. If that's the case and

3845
02:07:16,646 --> 02:07:17,347
we take him at his word, then

3846
02:07:17,347 --> 02:07:19,747
writing that commitment into

3847
02:07:20,149 --> 02:07:21,919
the pd language should be

3848
02:07:21,919 --> 02:07:22,519
straight forward. Single story

3849
02:07:22,519 --> 02:07:24,821
limit along our shared

3850
02:07:24,821 --> 02:07:26,189
boundary stepping up only on

3851
02:07:26,189 --> 02:07:28,858
the Far East side near Powers

3852
02:07:28,858 --> 02:07:31,428
Avenue, simply lack son, the

3853
02:07:31,428 --> 02:07:33,229
transition, the site plan

3854
02:07:33,229 --> 02:07:33,930
already implies it protects

3855
02:07:33,930 --> 02:07:35,298
existing neighborhood without

3856
02:07:35,298 --> 02:07:37,698
stopping the project. Second

3857
02:07:39,936 --> 02:07:40,938
is the buffer King's Road

3858
02:07:40,938 --> 02:07:43,338
South. We're asking for

3859
02:07:43,974 --> 02:07:45,541
continuity with what's already

3860
02:07:45,541 --> 02:07:46,275
there. Reclaim the school

3861
02:07:46,275 --> 02:07:48,544
break from the walls torn down

3862
02:07:48,544 --> 02:07:51,948
from the school and set the

3863
02:07:51,948 --> 02:07:55,510
bar for death. At 35 feet from

3864
02:07:55,510 --> 02:07:55,685
the right of way that matches

3865
02:07:55,685 --> 02:07:57,187
the established buffering

3866
02:07:57,187 --> 02:07:59,187
keeps the streetscape

3867
02:07:59,556 --> 02:08:01,725
consistent with more safety

3868
02:08:01,725 --> 02:08:03,660
and more safely. Walkable.

3869
02:08:03,660 --> 02:08:06,600
There's a practical website

3870
02:08:06,763 --> 02:08:08,298
too adaptive reuse credits are

3871
02:08:08,298 --> 02:08:08,999
available instead of

3872
02:08:08,999 --> 02:08:10,967
demolishing of the brick. You

3873
02:08:10,967 --> 02:08:14,567
can repurpose it and it's in

3874
02:08:14,938 --> 02:08:16,730
part of historic reuse

3875
02:08:16,730 --> 02:08:16,773
requirements that the

3876
02:08:16,773 --> 02:08:17,740
comprehensive plan is better

3877
02:08:17,740 --> 02:08:19,943
for the project, saves money

3878
02:08:19,943 --> 02:08:20,911
for the developer. Good idea.

3879
02:08:20,911 --> 02:08:23,247
Neither of these conditions

3880
02:08:23,247 --> 02:08:26,247
are unreasonable nor are they

3881
02:08:28,850 --> 02:08:28,985
anti development. But simply

3882
02:08:28,985 --> 02:08:30,520
make the pd match what the

3883
02:08:30,520 --> 02:08:32,322
applicant already described.

3884
02:08:32,322 --> 02:08:34,291
But we want you to see this

3885
02:08:34,291 --> 02:08:36,793
handout in your Binder that

3886
02:08:36,793 --> 02:08:38,695
talks about her neighborhood.

3887
02:08:38,695 --> 02:08:40,695
We levin 100 single-family

3888
02:08:42,832 --> 02:08:44,101
homes with rapidly. 26 52,650

3889
02:08:44,101 --> 02:08:46,501
residents and nearly 73% of

3890
02:08:46,569 --> 02:08:49,569
this town's are homestead. It

3891
02:08:50,307 --> 02:08:51,700
and owner occupied. So it's a

3892
02:08:51,700 --> 02:08:52,743
stable treeline data said in

3893
02:08:52,743 --> 02:08:54,811
your binder that I just shared

3894
02:08:54,811 --> 02:08:56,813
with you representing a full

3895
02:08:56,813 --> 02:08:57,514
long term resident base asking

3896
02:08:57,514 --> 02:08:59,716
for a reasonable transition.

3897
02:08:59,716 --> 02:09:00,417
Thank you.

3898
02:09:00,417 --> 02:09:02,817
>> Thank you. Last speakers,

3899
02:09:06,523 --> 02:09:08,523
Laura Baucus.

3900
02:09:10,460 --> 02:09:11,294
>> I'm Laura addresses on

3901
02:09:11,294 --> 02:09:11,961
file. I was talking about the

3902
02:09:11,961 --> 02:09:14,361
road condition King's Road

3903
02:09:16,967 --> 02:09:19,967
South. A curse for opposing 4,

3904
02:09:21,939 --> 02:09:23,307
7, 8 as written. A curse for

3905
02:09:23,307 --> 02:09:24,107
the new Housing Development

3906
02:09:24,107 --> 02:09:26,507
Bureau. King's Road South.

3907
02:09:27,911 --> 02:09:29,646
This is not the best solution

3908
02:09:29,646 --> 02:09:30,280
development on that property

3909
02:09:30,280 --> 02:09:32,649
could explore getting an

3910
02:09:32,649 --> 02:09:33,950
easement to Powers Avenue,

3911
02:09:33,950 --> 02:09:35,151
which is better designed for

3912
02:09:35,151 --> 02:09:37,551
the volume of traffic. 110

3913
02:09:38,154 --> 02:09:38,955
units could just generate and

3914
02:09:38,955 --> 02:09:41,355
have easier access to

3915
02:09:43,600 --> 02:09:44,227
multi-modal transportation.

3916
02:09:44,227 --> 02:09:45,829
Widening old Kings road south

3917
02:09:45,829 --> 02:09:46,430
in the section between Saint

3918
02:09:46,430 --> 02:09:47,964
Augustine Road and the

3919
02:09:47,964 --> 02:09:49,499
intersection with Powers

3920
02:09:49,499 --> 02:09:50,901
Avenue to meet current

3921
02:09:50,901 --> 02:09:52,901
collector roadway design

3922
02:09:53,637 --> 02:09:54,371
requirements could be required

3923
02:09:54,371 --> 02:09:57,371
according to the City Land

3924
02:09:57,641 --> 02:09:59,641
Development Procedure manual

3925
02:09:59,742 --> 02:10:01,678
vehicles. Excuse me, when

3926
02:10:01,678 --> 02:10:02,646
developments have a volume of

3927
02:10:02,646 --> 02:10:03,680
left turn and right turn

3928
02:10:03,680 --> 02:10:06,800
traffic that exceeds 20 to 30

3929
02:10:07,170 --> 02:10:07,918
vehicles per hour. They

3930
02:10:07,918 --> 02:10:10,253
recommend a specified storage

3931
02:10:10,253 --> 02:10:10,987
turning lane, windy necessary.

3932
02:10:10,987 --> 02:10:12,956
This would be a roadway

3933
02:10:12,956 --> 02:10:14,992
improvement that could be

3934
02:10:14,992 --> 02:10:15,626
required, according to the

3935
02:10:15,626 --> 02:10:17,461
independent assessment of

3936
02:10:17,461 --> 02:10:19,461
Traffic engineer, Alston

3937
02:10:20,330 --> 02:10:22,330
Chapman, current space

3938
02:10:22,433 --> 02:10:23,133
constraints are impossible to

3939
02:10:23,133 --> 02:10:23,767
overcome without potentially

3940
02:10:23,767 --> 02:10:25,767
seizing property adjacent

3941
02:10:27,871 --> 02:10:28,571
homeowners by eminent domain.

3942
02:10:28,571 --> 02:10:29,272
A possible solution has been

3943
02:10:29,272 --> 02:10:31,672
proposed by our neighborhood

3944
02:10:31,708 --> 02:10:33,708
still association. We're

3945
02:10:35,445 --> 02:10:36,113
approach ymca leadership.

3946
02:10:36,113 --> 02:10:36,813
Their property is also for

3947
02:10:36,813 --> 02:10:39,490
sale in a such a center. The

3948
02:10:39,490 --> 02:10:39,717
Kings Trail property and the

3949
02:10:39,717 --> 02:10:41,585
Duval County School board

3950
02:10:41,585 --> 02:10:42,352
representative for the Kings

3951
02:10:42,352 --> 02:10:44,352
Trail property about

3952
02:10:45,289 --> 02:10:46,223
requesting a shared easement

3953
02:10:46,223 --> 02:10:49,125
using an existing service road

3954
02:10:49,125 --> 02:10:50,928
at Wilson High School that

3955
02:10:50,928 --> 02:10:52,929
would allow Ingress and egress

3956
02:10:52,929 --> 02:10:55,980
for both properties via Powers

3957
02:10:55,980 --> 02:10:56,834
Avenue, the ability to provide

3958
02:10:56,834 --> 02:10:57,868
an access road that meets

3959
02:10:57,868 --> 02:10:58,535
current roadway. Design

3960
02:10:58,535 --> 02:11:00,935
standards is possible with

3961
02:11:02,106 --> 02:11:03,400
this solution. Ymca leadership

3962
02:11:03,400 --> 02:11:06,400
is interested as it would

3963
02:11:07,110 --> 02:11:08,112
enhance their ability to sell.

3964
02:11:08,112 --> 02:11:08,979
Jacksonville ordinance Code

3965
02:11:08,979 --> 02:11:09,679
also supports a solution like

3966
02:11:09,679 --> 02:11:12,679
this for easements and cross

3967
02:11:13,984 --> 02:11:14,651
access. There's been a recent

3968
02:11:14,651 --> 02:11:16,220
precedent that was set that

3969
02:11:16,220 --> 02:11:18,722
also supports a solution like

3970
02:11:18,722 --> 02:11:20,722
this ordinance, 0, 2, 5 Dash,

3971
02:11:21,291 --> 02:11:23,691
4, 4, 9 Dash for the Normandy

3972
02:11:25,280 --> 02:11:25,729
code p today included language

3973
02:11:25,729 --> 02:11:28,129
that made the rezoning

3974
02:11:28,599 --> 02:11:29,333
approval subject to conditions

3975
02:11:29,333 --> 02:11:31,501
it required the development to

3976
02:11:31,501 --> 02:11:32,235
secure an agreement with the

3977
02:11:32,235 --> 02:11:35,235
Duval County School Board for

3978
02:11:37,740 --> 02:11:38,609
Access to the property. And

3979
02:11:38,609 --> 02:11:39,343
specific roadway prior to the

3980
02:11:39,343 --> 02:11:41,743
first certificate of occupancy

3981
02:11:42,112 --> 02:11:42,912
or the functional equivalent,

3982
02:11:42,912 --> 02:11:45,849
a condition like this for

3983
02:11:45,849 --> 02:11:47,170
access on Powers Avenue, the

3984
02:11:47,170 --> 02:11:49,153
and the easement through 2

3985
02:11:49,153 --> 02:11:50,621
school board properties with

3986
02:11:50,621 --> 02:11:51,655
the agreement of the ymca is

3987
02:11:51,655 --> 02:11:53,655
our recommended solution.

3988
02:11:56,293 --> 02:11:57,194
Thank you.

3989
02:11:57,194 --> 02:11:57,861

massive stuff. Home

4017
02:12:58,788 --> 02:12:59,390
occupations. Men sections, we

4018
02:12:59,390 --> 02:13:01,790
got a rural residential

4019
02:13:03,994 --> 02:13:05,496
category. Low density

4020
02:13:05,496 --> 02:13:07,496
residential category, medium

4021
02:13:07,665 --> 02:13:09,665
density residential category

4022
02:13:12,536 --> 02:13:13,671

4023
02:13:13,671 --> 02:13:16,710
be residential use categories

4024
02:13:17,607 --> 02:13:18,509
in zoning districts. Now this

4025
02:13:18,509 --> 02:13:22,109
is massive. It's in rules so

4026
02:13:23,747 --> 02:13:26,216
easy but not waterways. And

4027
02:13:26,216 --> 02:13:30,416
you know, the cpac Is it going

4028
02:13:32,222 --> 02:13:32,856

4031
02:13:38,528 --> 02:13:40,928
quality of life throughout

4032
02:13:41,365 --> 02:13:44,965
this entire city. And then the

4033
02:13:48,572 --> 02:13:49,540
waterways component. Access.

4034
02:13:49,540 --> 02:13:50,240
And tell anybody else show

4035
02:13:50,240 --> 02:13:53,210
anyone. I think we're just

4036
02:13:53,210 --> 02:13:55,610
getting absolutely crushed. So

4037
02:13:56,379 --> 02:13:59,979
when you do increase this? In

4038
02:14:01,284 --> 02:14:01,985

4101
02:16:40,440 --> 02:16:42,146
microphone. Please. I don't

4102
02:16:42,146 --> 02:16:43,513
have anything additional to

4103
02:16:43,513 --> 02:16:44,810
say. I just was If someone

4104
02:16:44,810 --> 02:16:45,916
needed any questions,

4105
02:16:45,916 --> 02:16:48,586
questions only get. Thank you,

4106
02:16:48,586 --> 02:16:49,219
I have no more cards and

4107
02:16:49,219 --> 02:16:51,619
seeing no questions. This

4108
02:16:52,423 --> 02:16:53,390
public hearing is closed.

4109
02:16:53,390 --> 02:16:55,292
We've got now a page. Have an

4110
02:16:55,292 --> 02:16:56,994
item. Number 5, 3 2026, 5, 3,

4111
02:16:56,994 --> 02:16:59,963
4. I have no speaker cards.

4112
02:16:59,963 --> 02:17:02,363
Public hearings closed item,

4113
02:17:03,601 --> 02:17:04,268
16, 2026, 5, 3, 5. I have one

4114
02:17:04,268 --> 02:17:06,668
speaker card. Jamie Travis

4115
02:17:08,873 --> 02:17:12,473
Leonard. Do you wish to speak?

4116
02:17:23,887 --> 02:17:25,887
MISS Leonard?

4117
02:17:36,633 --> 02:17:38,469
>> Good evening. City

4118
02:17:38,469 --> 02:17:39,470
COUNCILMAN Name is Jimmy

4119
02:17:39,470 --> 02:17:40,605
Travis entered my address is

4120
02:17:40,605 --> 02:17:44,805
on file. So when it comes to

4121
02:17:44,942 --> 02:17:45,609
26, 5, 3, 5, I do support this

4122
02:17:45,609 --> 02:17:48,900
ordinance. What I'm heading

4123
02:17:51,480 --> 02:17:51,716
out right now is the fdot

4124
02:17:51,716 --> 02:17:54,418
flyer on roundabouts. So my

4125
02:17:54,418 --> 02:17:55,486
only request is I don't know

4126
02:17:55,486 --> 02:17:56,187
could be applied technically

4127
02:17:56,187 --> 02:17:57,288
to this ordinance. But in the

4128
02:17:57,288 --> 02:17:59,857
future when we are expanding

4129
02:17:59,857 --> 02:18:02,257
some of our roadways,

4130
02:18:03,260 --> 02:18:06,260
roundabouts are the safest way

4131
02:18:07,264 --> 02:18:08,532
to integrate turning into that

4132
02:18:08,532 --> 02:18:10,601
when redeveloping roads, it is

4133
02:18:10,601 --> 02:18:12,804
safer for cars. It safer for

4134
02:18:12,804 --> 02:18:13,871
pedestrians. Also, as I

4135
02:18:13,871 --> 02:18:15,740
mentioned previously in public

4136
02:18:15,740 --> 02:18:18,542
comments, we don't have to

4137
02:18:18,542 --> 02:18:20,611
worry about people ignoring

4138
02:18:20,611 --> 02:18:22,313
safety in the rain outside of

4139
02:18:22,313 --> 02:18:23,130
what they're normally going to

4140
02:18:23,130 --> 02:18:24,414
do because roundabouts don't

4141
02:18:24,414 --> 02:18:25,549
require electricity, which

4142
02:18:25,549 --> 02:18:26,551
means when we have our

4143
02:18:26,551 --> 02:18:28,951
torrential downpours, they are

4144
02:18:30,788 --> 02:18:33,123
still functional. So my public

4145
02:18:33,123 --> 02:18:33,757
comments predominantly on a

4146
02:18:33,757 --> 02:18:34,459
potentially incorporating

4147
02:18:34,459 --> 02:18:36,260
roundabouts into at the turn

4148
02:18:36,260 --> 02:18:38,362
lanes. They're going to be the

4149
02:18:38,362 --> 02:18:40,564
subject of this bill, if

4150
02:18:40,564 --> 02:18:41,566
possible, if not, I understand

4151
02:18:41,566 --> 02:18:42,466
I kind of came at the end of

4152
02:18:42,466 --> 02:18:43,500
the process, but for the

4153
02:18:43,500 --> 02:18:44,234
future, I hope you guys

4154
02:18:44,234 --> 02:18:44,836
consider that when you are

4155
02:18:44,836 --> 02:18:47,236
looking to improve our

4156
02:18:47,971 --> 02:18:48,705
roadways. Thank you.

4157
02:18:48,705 --> 02:18:51,341
>> Thank you, ma'am. I have no

>> Samantha Series address on

file. This bill provides

4170
02:19:16,400 --> 02:19:18,400
forgiveness to Jacksonville

4171
02:19:19,369 --> 02:19:20,405
Fraternal Order of Police

4172
02:19:20,405 --> 02:19:22,720
Foundation. That'll be

4173
02:19:22,720 --> 02:19:24,720
Foundation received $200,000

4174
02:19:24,241 --> 02:19:26,440
City grant to support various

4175
02:19:26,440 --> 02:19:26,677
charitable and educational and

4176
02:19:26,677 --> 02:19:29,770
yet initiatives under the

4177
02:19:31,215 --> 02:19:32,183
fiscal year, 2024. 2025 City

4178
02:19:32,183 --> 02:19:34,583
Grant agreement sections. One

4179
02:19:35,386 --> 02:19:36,120
18.2 0, 1, 1, 18.2 0, 2, the

4180
02:19:36,120 --> 02:19:38,322
fop Foundation was required to

4181
02:19:38,322 --> 02:19:41,322
provide an audit. Report by

4182
02:19:41,825 --> 02:19:42,727
APRIL 30th 2026. For funds

4183
02:19:42,727 --> 02:19:44,696
received during its fiscal

4184
02:19:44,696 --> 02:19:47,640
year ending DECEMBER 31st.

4185
02:19:47,640 --> 02:19:48,833
2025 the fop Foundation

4186
02:19:48,833 --> 02:19:49,567
submitted a limited procedures

4187
02:19:49,567 --> 02:19:50,268
audit report that did not meet

4188
02:19:50,268 --> 02:19:53,268
the requirements and did not

4189
02:19:53,404 --> 02:19:54,105
provide required audit and was

4190
02:19:54,105 --> 02:19:56,440
there for a place on council

4191
02:19:56,440 --> 02:19:58,440
auditors chapter one, 18

4192
02:19:58,442 --> 02:20:00,177
non-compliance list on JUNE

4193
02:20:00,177 --> 02:20:00,878
12, 2026. Because that

4194
02:20:00,878 --> 02:20:02,813
placement renders ineligible

4195
02:20:02,813 --> 02:20:05,984
for the city grants. That is

4196
02:20:05,984 --> 02:20:06,584
why the fop Foundation is

4197
02:20:06,584 --> 02:20:07,217
requesting forgiveness.

4198
02:20:07,217 --> 02:20:07,885
Further noncompliance and

4199
02:20:07,885 --> 02:20:11,256
removal from the list. I do

4200
02:20:11,256 --> 02:20:11,990
not support this. I would like

4201
02:20:11,990 --> 02:20:15,159
to know if they are going to

4202
02:20:15,159 --> 02:20:16,660
provide an audit that does, in

4203
02:20:16,660 --> 02:20:19,600
fact, meet the requirements

4204
02:20:21,499 --> 02:20:22,233
that they need to meet. I

4205
02:20:22,233 --> 02:20:22,900
don't know about you guys, but

4206
02:20:22,900 --> 02:20:25,900
usually when an audit isn't

4207
02:20:26,737 --> 02:20:28,500
being met. Fraud is involved.

4208
02:20:28,500 --> 02:20:30,740
That's usually how it works.

4209
02:20:30,740 --> 02:20:30,742
If you are getting these

4210
02:20:30,742 --> 02:20:33,742
places, you and you're just

4211
02:20:35,312 --> 02:20:37,281
for giving them. Without

4212
02:20:37,281 --> 02:20:38,483
having any backup to any

4213
02:20:38,483 --> 02:20:39,217
reason that you're forgiving

4214
02:20:39,217 --> 02:20:40,451
them. You're just okay. Take a

4215
02:20:40,451 --> 02:20:41,953
marvelous. Give them more

4216
02:20:41,953 --> 02:20:44,353
money. Where's the money

4217
02:20:44,556 --> 02:20:46,791
going? Why can't they give us

4218
02:20:46,791 --> 02:20:48,692
an audit that actually meets

4219
02:20:48,692 --> 02:20:49,927
the requirements? They agree

4220
02:20:49,927 --> 02:20:50,929
to. They received money

4221
02:20:50,929 --> 02:20:53,329
$200,000. They said they were

4222
02:20:54,650 --> 02:20:54,765
going to give you an audit

4223
02:20:54,765 --> 02:20:57,765
that met the requirements for

4224
02:20:58,435 --> 02:20:59,536
the money that they received

4225
02:20:59,536 --> 02:21:00,238
it doesn't meet the

4226
02:21:00,238 --> 02:21:02,373
requirements. Why or why are

4227
02:21:02,373 --> 02:21:03,174
we just for giving this that

4228
02:21:03,174 --> 02:21:03,875
there needs to be discussion

4229
02:21:03,875 --> 02:21:06,177
about this? Are we getting in

4230
02:21:06,177 --> 02:21:08,178
on it? Because, again, that is

4231
02:21:08,178 --> 02:21:11,778
where fraud slips in. That is

4232
02:21:12,650 --> 02:21:13,551
when you see money's being

4233
02:21:13,551 --> 02:21:15,520
used that are not allowed to

4234
02:21:15,520 --> 02:21:15,853
be used for what they're being

4235
02:21:15,853 --> 02:21:17,455
used for. That's the only

4236
02:21:17,455 --> 02:21:18,622
reason why you wouldn't give

4237
02:21:18,622 --> 02:21:19,290
an audit because you don't

4238
02:21:19,290 --> 02:21:22,290
have the backing. You don't

4239
02:21:22,726 --> 02:21:23,361
have the receipts. That's

4240
02:21:23,361 --> 02:21:24,128
usually why not and isn't

4241
02:21:24,128 --> 02:21:26,528
being provided because you'll

4242
02:21:27,765 --> 02:21:28,900
have a full correct receipts.

4243
02:21:28,900 --> 02:21:29,600
I think we need audit. I think

4244
02:21:29,600 --> 02:21:33,200
you all need to discuss this

4245
02:21:33,304 --> 02:21:35,206
and I'm sure it's going to

4246
02:21:35,206 --> 02:21:37,606
pass. But honestly, it's

4247
02:21:38,109 --> 02:21:38,843
concerning that we're just

4248
02:21:38,843 --> 02:21:39,511
allowing forgiveness is for

4249
02:21:39,511 --> 02:21:41,846
things that are required to

4250
02:21:41,846 --> 02:21:42,546
have on its not have on it.

4251
02:21:42,546 --> 02:21:43,248
And I would think that you

4252
02:21:43,248 --> 02:21:43,982
guys would be concerned about

4253
02:21:43,982 --> 02:21:47,185
that. It's your it's the money

4254
02:21:47,185 --> 02:21:47,785
for our city. You know, our

4255
02:21:47,785 --> 02:21:49,870
budget coming up, we're

4256
02:21:49,870 --> 02:21:49,854
probably going to give them

4257
02:21:49,854 --> 02:21:52,256
another grant. We need to be

4258
02:21:52,256 --> 02:21:52,890
careful about this. Thank you.

4259
02:21:52,890 --> 02:21:55,290
>> Thanks. We have Jaime

4260
02:21:59,931 --> 02:22:01,650
Travers, Leonard.

4261
02:22:01,650 --> 02:22:01,833
>> Good Evening City Council.

4262
02:22:01,833 --> 02:22:04,635
My name is Jamie Travis

4263
02:22:04,635 --> 02:22:07,635
Leonard, my addresses on file

4264
02:22:08,139 --> 02:22:10,108
panic. So I also oppose 26, 5,

4265
02:22:10,108 --> 02:22:11,420
3, 7, I don't know if there's

4266
02:22:11,420 --> 02:22:12,760
like a miscommunication with

4267
02:22:12,760 --> 02:22:13,912
like what is being expressed

4268
02:22:13,912 --> 02:22:14,545
to the community. But from

4269
02:22:14,545 --> 02:22:15,179
what I've read based what

4270
02:22:15,179 --> 02:22:17,579
happened was p foundation

4271
02:22:18,649 --> 02:22:20,118
failed to meet their

4272
02:22:20,118 --> 02:22:21,986
obligations to provide audits

4273
02:22:21,986 --> 02:22:24,986
based on our ordinances. And

4274
02:22:25,522 --> 02:22:26,124
now they are asking for

4275
02:22:26,124 --> 02:22:26,791
forgiveness for that to

4276
02:22:26,791 --> 02:22:28,993
continue to receive public

4277
02:22:28,993 --> 02:22:31,495
funds. I know about you, but

4278
02:22:31,495 --> 02:22:35,990
if I fail to pay my taxes, the

4279
02:22:35,990 --> 02:22:36,601
irs doesn't just forgive me.

4280
02:22:36,601 --> 02:22:39,300
So I'm not sure why we would

4281
02:22:39,300 --> 02:22:41,403
even forgiveness. Now, if

4282
02:22:42,600 --> 02:22:44,108
maybe they were late and they

4283
02:22:44,108 --> 02:22:45,109
have finalized a and submitted

4284
02:22:45,109 --> 02:22:47,712
an audit that meets the

4285
02:22:47,712 --> 02:22:48,313
requirements. I can understand

4286
02:22:48,313 --> 02:22:50,713
if that happened, that

4287
02:22:51,820 --> 02:22:52,784
information's not communicated

4288
02:22:52,784 --> 02:22:53,518
in this. So there's a lack of

4289
02:22:53,518 --> 02:22:55,518
communication and transparency

4290
02:22:57,421 --> 02:22:58,623
with the public in that case.

4291
02:22:58,623 --> 02:22:59,256
At which point I MAY move to

4292
02:22:59,256 --> 02:22:59,791
support for this time. I

4293
02:22:59,791 --> 02:23:01,726
oppose based on the

4294
02:23:01,726 --> 02:23:02,526
information that was provided

4295
02:23:02,526 --> 02:23:05,526
in accordance with the bill

4296
02:23:07,431 --> 02:23:08,566
online. I don't even know

4297
02:23:08,566 --> 02:23:09,234
again. I'm not sure why would

4298
02:23:09,234 --> 02:23:09,834
entertain us if they aren't

4299
02:23:09,834 --> 02:23:12,234
meeting their out audit

4300
02:23:13,238 --> 02:23:13,938
obligations. We have those

4301
02:23:13,938 --> 02:23:16,938
ordinances for a reason. It's

4302
02:23:17,675 --> 02:23:18,342
checks and balances. I do. We

4303
02:23:18,342 --> 02:23:19,430
not have Duvall do jump in

4304
02:23:19,430 --> 02:23:19,777
here. They not questioning

4305
02:23:19,777 --> 02:23:21,146
this is not the whole thing is

4306
02:23:21,146 --> 02:23:22,847
a fine waste, fraud and abuse,

4307
02:23:22,847 --> 02:23:24,449
Oregon health care. It's big

4308
02:23:24,449 --> 02:23:25,383
deal. I'm assuming it's a big

4309
02:23:25,383 --> 02:23:28,983
deal for you all to pay

4310
02:23:28,987 --> 02:23:29,721
attention to that. So. Unless

4311
02:23:29,721 --> 02:23:30,455
there's and again, information

4312
02:23:30,455 --> 02:23:32,190
that hasn't been transparently

4313
02:23:32,190 --> 02:23:32,857
provided to the public. I

4314
02:23:32,857 --> 02:23:35,493
expect you all to not pass

4315
02:23:35,493 --> 02:23:36,227
this. Thank you.

4316
02:23:36,227 --> 02:23:39,227
>> Thanks for net. Nancy Marie

4317
02:23:44,669 --> 02:23:45,236
Settle.

4318
02:23:45,236 --> 02:23:47,236
>> Nancy Marie Settle

4319
02:23:47,838 --> 02:23:50,838
addresses on file again. I'm

4320
02:23:51,776 --> 02:23:53,611
sticking with my same theme

4321
02:23:53,611 --> 02:23:56,447
for today. I'm here to speak

4322
02:23:56,447 --> 02:23:59,447
about lawn order rules and

4323
02:24:00,151 --> 02:24:01,119
regulations. I oppose Bill

4324
02:24:01,119 --> 02:24:02,253
'05, 3, 7, to forgive the

4325
02:24:02,253 --> 02:24:05,253
Fraternal Order of Police for

4326
02:24:05,590 --> 02:24:06,291
Non compliance and audit team.

4327
02:24:06,291 --> 02:24:08,359
It should they should not be

4328
02:24:08,359 --> 02:24:10,280
forgiven. They broke a rule

4329
02:24:10,280 --> 02:24:11,630
and they should live with

4330
02:24:11,630 --> 02:24:14,300
those consequences. Law and

4331
02:24:14,599 --> 02:24:15,933
order. They are not above it.

4332
02:24:15,933 --> 02:24:17,100
When citizens here in council

4333
02:24:17,100 --> 02:24:18,836
break the rules by clapping

4334
02:24:18,836 --> 02:24:20,404
their costs down or even

4335
02:24:20,404 --> 02:24:21,939
worse. And again, in proposing

4336
02:24:21,939 --> 02:24:24,339
this ordinance, even the

4337
02:24:26,277 --> 02:24:27,440
hypocrisy is evident. It's

4338
02:24:27,440 --> 02:24:30,440
clapping in support of council

4339
02:24:31,616 --> 02:24:32,350
is good in Grace's given men.

4340
02:24:32,350 --> 02:24:34,118
Yet clapping in support of the

4341
02:24:34,118 --> 02:24:34,786
citizen that disagrees with

4342
02:24:34,786 --> 02:24:37,488
the council. That's bad and

4343
02:24:37,488 --> 02:24:38,490
must be punished.

4344
02:24:38,490 --> 02:24:39,224
>> Rules and regulations were

4345
02:24:39,224 --> 02:24:41,426
either going to follow them or

4346
02:24:41,426 --> 02:24:43,426
not.

4347
02:24:43,428 --> 02:24:45,396
>> And for the Fraternal Order

4348
02:24:45,396 --> 02:24:48,996
of police, they also need to

4349
02:24:50,568 --> 02:24:51,436
abide by those regulations.

4350
02:24:51,436 --> 02:24:53,204
Why? Why are we even why is it

4351
02:24:53,204 --> 02:24:55,273
out here? I mean, is it just

4352
02:24:55,273 --> 02:24:55,974
because they're the police?

4353
02:24:55,974 --> 02:24:57,542
And I mean, we give a lot of

4354
02:24:57,542 --> 02:24:59,977
money to police and we don't

4355
02:24:59,977 --> 02:25:03,577
and we have a police problem.

4356
02:25:03,748 --> 02:25:05,616
Inmates are dying. There is

4357
02:25:05,616 --> 02:25:06,885
slaw suits about police

4358
02:25:06,885 --> 02:25:07,552
brutality, but we don't

4359
02:25:07,552 --> 02:25:08,820
question and we continue in

4360
02:25:08,820 --> 02:25:09,521
the budget to give money. Is

4361
02:25:09,521 --> 02:25:13,121
it just because police is in

4362
02:25:14,726 --> 02:25:15,426
the name? We have a problem,

4363
02:25:15,426 --> 02:25:16,127
obviously with the Fraternal

4364
02:25:16,127 --> 02:25:18,730
Order of police, they did not

4365
02:25:18,730 --> 02:25:19,730
submit audited statements.

4366
02:25:19,730 --> 02:25:22,730
That's a requirement to be

4367
02:25:23,435 --> 02:25:24,536
able to receive city money

4368
02:25:24,536 --> 02:25:26,271
waivers, all these forgiveness

4369
02:25:26,271 --> 02:25:26,971
is are we going to just let

4370
02:25:26,971 --> 02:25:29,440
the fraternal order of police

4371
02:25:29,440 --> 02:25:31,677
off the hook as well? I say

4372
02:25:31,677 --> 02:25:34,279
no. They did not complete. The

4373
02:25:34,279 --> 02:25:35,680
audit is required and we want

4374
02:25:35,680 --> 02:25:36,481
to make more city money

4375
02:25:36,481 --> 02:25:39,481
available to them How does

4376
02:25:40,518 --> 02:25:42,153
that make sense? It doesn't it

4377
02:25:42,153 --> 02:25:43,588
would not be good stewardship

4378
02:25:43,588 --> 02:25:45,988
stewardship of our money.

4379
02:25:46,391 --> 02:25:49,991
Please vote no on Bill of 5,

4380

opposes it but does not wish

4389
02:26:12,450 --> 02:26:14,752
to speak. It closes that

right. The reason I'm speaking

4403
02:26:49,287 --> 02:26:52,287
on this piece of legislation

4404
02:26:53,125 --> 02:26:54,250

4415
02:27:19,985 --> 02:27:21,887

social services with the city

Rescue mission in 1995. That

has school now known as

4669
02:38:05,665 --> 02:38:06,432
Riverside High School. Having

4670
02:38:06,432 --> 02:38:08,534
spent my teenage years in the

4671
02:38:08,534 --> 02:38:09,201
Lackawanna, a Riverside

4672
02:38:09,201 --> 02:38:09,902
community. I have witnessed

4673
02:38:09,902 --> 02:38:10,503
both the strength challenges

4674
02:38:10,503 --> 02:38:12,903
that have shaped this

4675
02:38:14,607 --> 02:38:16,408
neighborhood over the years in

4676
02:38:16,408 --> 02:38:17,643
Begin my career with the city

4677
02:38:17,643 --> 02:38:19,311
rescue mission. The same year

4678
02:38:19,311 --> 02:38:20,746
the mission purchase to make

4679
02:38:20,746 --> 02:38:21,981
death campus. During my

4680
02:38:21,981 --> 02:38:25,510
tenure. I have worked all 3 of

4681
02:38:25,510 --> 02:38:25,684
our locations at the Restore

4682
02:38:25,684 --> 02:38:26,552
as State Street location,

4683
02:38:26,552 --> 02:38:29,488
which is called the New Life

4684
02:38:29,488 --> 02:38:30,822
Thing. And I think that campus

4685
02:38:30,822 --> 02:38:31,890
over the years I have had the

4686
02:38:31,890 --> 02:38:33,158
privilege of watching the

4687
02:38:33,158 --> 02:38:35,158
organization grow

4688
02:38:35,861 --> 02:38:37,196
significantly in the number of

4689
02:38:37,196 --> 02:38:39,398
services provided the best

4690
02:38:39,398 --> 02:38:40,766
outfit and the lives we've

4691
02:38:40,766 --> 02:38:43,766
been impacted as we towards

4692
02:38:44,537 --> 02:38:46,104
expanding, I'm Ybeth campus.

4693
02:38:46,104 --> 02:38:47,173
Reflect upon when many people

4694
02:38:47,173 --> 02:38:47,874
in the surrounding community

4695
02:38:47,874 --> 02:38:50,874
were unaware of the services.

4696
02:38:50,976 --> 02:38:51,577
We provide it for many years.

4697
02:38:51,577 --> 02:38:53,211
The city rescue mission

4698
02:38:53,211 --> 02:38:54,460
function as a community within

4699
02:38:54,460 --> 02:38:56,149
a community. The mission has

4700
02:38:56,149 --> 02:38:59,752
always been a safe haven and a

4701
02:38:59,752 --> 02:39:00,352
temporary home for individuals

4702
02:39:00,352 --> 02:39:02,352
facing significant life

4703
02:39:03,689 --> 02:39:04,423
changes complex barriers

4704
02:39:04,423 --> 02:39:05,240
throughout history. We have

4705
02:39:05,240 --> 02:39:07,660
worked hard to not be a

4706
02:39:07,660 --> 02:39:08,327
nuisance or a burden to the

4707
02:39:08,327 --> 02:39:10,727
community. Rather. We have

4708
02:39:11,464 --> 02:39:13,199
continue to be a valuable

4709
02:39:13,199 --> 02:39:14,330
community resource providing

4710
02:39:14,330 --> 02:39:16,433
hope, stability and support

4711
02:39:17,636 --> 02:39:18,637
support to those most in need

4712
02:39:18,637 --> 02:39:19,339
our policies. Programs and

4713
02:39:19,339 --> 02:39:21,306
expectations are got guided,

4714
02:39:21,306 --> 02:39:22,208
but grace and compassion,

4715
02:39:22,208 --> 02:39:25,645
which is why many of the men

4716
02:39:25,645 --> 02:39:27,746
and women we serve come to the

4717
02:39:27,746 --> 02:39:29,982
U.S. Staff and I services as

4718
02:39:29,982 --> 02:39:31,484
family. The growth of the city

4719
02:39:31,484 --> 02:39:32,752
rescue mission as Macbeth

4720
02:39:32,752 --> 02:39:33,419
service is truly a win-win for

4721
02:39:33,419 --> 02:39:35,819
our community because we're

4722
02:39:36,288 --> 02:39:39,288
help. We are helping return

4723
02:39:39,925 --> 02:39:40,659
transform men and women to

4724
02:39:40,659 --> 02:39:41,594
their families, return them to

4725
02:39:41,594 --> 02:39:43,594
their families, workplaces,

4726
02:39:45,310 --> 02:39:45,698
churches, and neighborhoods.

4727
02:39:45,698 --> 02:39:48,334
Adjective is not limited to

4728
02:39:48,334 --> 02:39:49,168
meeting in immediate need.

4729
02:39:49,168 --> 02:39:51,370
Rather. We focus on creating

4730
02:39:51,370 --> 02:39:52,738
lasting generational change

4731
02:39:52,738 --> 02:39:54,841
that produces a positive

4732
02:39:54,841 --> 02:39:56,775
impact throughout the

4733
02:39:56,775 --> 02:39:57,743
community. Thank you council

4734
02:39:57,743 --> 02:39:59,945

4735
02:39:59,945 --> 02:40:00,646
community and we appreciate

4736
02:40:00,646 --> 02:40:01,213
and pray for your support as

4737
02:40:01,213 --> 02:40:01,881
we continue deny that

4738
02:40:01,881 --> 02:40:04,281
endeavors. Thank you. Thank

4739
02:40:11,390 --> 02:40:12,725
you.

4740
02:40:12,725 --> 02:40:15,725
>> Good evening. My name is

4741
02:40:16,395 --> 02:40:17,129
Phil. You're Graham address on

4742
02:40:17,129 --> 02:40:19,310
recipient. All of the services

4743
02:40:19,310 --> 02:40:21,200
of seat off City Rescue

4744
02:40:21,200 --> 02:40:22,668
mission. I'm proud and I'm

4745
02:40:22,668 --> 02:40:24,470
proud to stand before you

4746
02:40:24,470 --> 02:40:28,400
today. As a grad city rescue

4747
02:40:28,400 --> 02:40:28,741
mission like program. Okay in

4748
02:40:28,741 --> 02:40:30,509
the city rescue mission at a

4749
02:40:30,509 --> 02:40:31,243
time when I was tagged along

4750
02:40:31,243 --> 02:40:33,643
disappointed in myself because

4751
02:40:35,314 --> 02:40:36,549
of choices I made. My drug

4752
02:40:36,549 --> 02:40:37,115
addition taking control of my

4753
02:40:37,115 --> 02:40:40,115
night life and I knew

4754
02:40:41,530 --> 02:40:42,188
something had to change. One

4755
02:40:42,188 --> 02:40:42,821
life wasn't always difficult.

4756
02:40:42,821 --> 02:40:45,357
In my early years, I was

4757
02:40:45,357 --> 02:40:47,590
surrounded by love. And

4758
02:40:47,590 --> 02:40:49,610
support my mother on a home

4759
02:40:49,610 --> 02:40:51,461
and a neighborhood store

4760
02:40:53,866 --> 02:40:54,567
family was, quote, I grew up

4761
02:40:54,567 --> 02:40:55,268
in the riverside like a woman

4762
02:40:55,268 --> 02:40:56,769
in Brooklyn communities here

4763
02:40:56,769 --> 02:40:58,804
in Jacksonville and 10 news

4764
02:40:58,804 --> 02:40:59,538
school on the West that life

4765
02:40:59,538 --> 02:41:02,538
changing. My older brother got

4766
02:41:03,800 --> 02:41:04,344
in trouble. The mother

4767
02:41:04,344 --> 02:41:05,780
sacrificed so much trying to

4768
02:41:05,780 --> 02:41:07,813
help and suv into the lost her

4769
02:41:07,813 --> 02:41:08,514
home in store. Has became

4770
02:41:08,514 --> 02:41:09,715
heart and eventually she sent

4771
02:41:09,715 --> 02:41:12,651
me to live with a family of

4772
02:41:12,651 --> 02:41:15,421
Noah. Because she could no

4773
02:41:15,421 --> 02:41:15,988
longer afford to care for me.

4774
02:41:15,988 --> 02:41:18,988
Not after that, I was

4775
02:41:19,580 --> 02:41:19,692
introduced to drugs from that

4776
02:41:19,692 --> 02:41:22,692
point like became a pool

4777
02:41:22,862 --> 02:41:24,960
Butler. Poor decisions,

4778
02:41:24,960 --> 02:41:24,764
addiction and missed

4779
02:41:24,764 --> 02:41:27,330
opportunities. Then I heard

4780
02:41:27,330 --> 02:41:29,402
about sea rescue mission. I I

4781
02:41:29,402 --> 02:41:30,436
knew it was in the community

4782
02:41:30,436 --> 02:41:34,360
because the state like a block

4783
02:41:34,773 --> 02:41:35,708
away but coming to the one the

4784
02:41:35,708 --> 02:41:36,876
city rescue mission, one of

4785
02:41:36,876 --> 02:41:38,844
the best decisions I ever made

4786
02:41:38,844 --> 02:41:41,180
here have found more to show

4787
02:41:41,180 --> 02:41:41,847
too afoul of found guidance.

4788
02:41:41,847 --> 02:41:44,247
Most importantly have found

4789
02:41:45,217 --> 02:41:46,485
the show. Do like to this

4790
02:41:46,485 --> 02:41:48,485
program? A discipline,

4791
02:41:49,688 --> 02:41:51,688
responsibility, accountability

4792
02:41:52,624 --> 02:41:53,226
and purpose. I just go down.

4793
02:41:53,226 --> 02:41:55,694
Cape will be leader and

4794
02:41:55,694 --> 02:41:56,529
positive influence on others.

4795
02:41:56,529 --> 02:41:58,929
Most importantly, I learned

4796
02:41:59,565 --> 02:42:00,232
that GOD never stopped loving

4797
02:42:00,232 --> 02:42:03,360
me today. A live approved.

4798
02:42:03,360 --> 02:42:03,703
That change is possible. The

4799
02:42:03,703 --> 02:42:05,204
city rescue mission didn't

4800
02:42:05,204 --> 02:42:07,740
just help my life. It changed

4801
02:42:07,740 --> 02:42:08,340
my story. Thank you. Thank

4802
02:42:08,340 --> 02:42:11,340
you, sir. Thank you for

4803
02:42:15,548 --> 02:42:17,948

evening. I'm local pastor and

4805
02:42:21,387 --> 02:42:23,823
the lack of Wana area and

4806
02:42:23,823 --> 02:42:25,491
>> personally seen many lives

4807
02:42:25,491 --> 02:42:26,192
changed over the years through

4808
02:42:26,192 --> 02:42:30,392
this program. So I do have my

4809
02:42:30,663 --> 02:42:32,398
full support.

4810
02:42:32,398 --> 02:42:33,650

4826
02:43:03,462 --> 02:43:04,864
always felt safe on the

4827
02:43:04,864 --> 02:43:05,931
mission. Campuses when people

4828
02:43:05,931 --> 02:43:06,966
come to the mission for help,

4829
02:43:06,966 --> 02:43:09,168
they're ready to comply to the

4830
02:43:09,168 --> 02:43:11,700
rules and program

4831
02:43:11,700 --> 02:43:12,105
requirements. There's a fence

4832
02:43:12,105 --> 02:43:13,706
and security gate to limit

4833
02:43:13,706 --> 02:43:14,407
access and to make sure

4834
02:43:14,407 --> 02:43:17,407
troublemakers do not come on

4835
02:43:18,310 --> 02:43:19,512
campus. When people come in to

4836
02:43:19,512 --> 02:43:20,713
the program, they have been

4837
02:43:20,713 --> 02:43:24,150
wounded by the world and they

4838
02:43:24,150 --> 02:43:24,817
need to feel safe and secure.

4839
02:43:24,817 --> 02:43:27,753
It is a very loving family

4840
02:43:27,753 --> 02:43:28,621
like Christian environment.

4841
02:43:28,621 --> 02:43:30,490
The mission tries to present

4842
02:43:30,490 --> 02:43:33,490
well in the community by

4843
02:43:34,930 --> 02:43:34,727
keeping their buildings that

4844
02:43:34,727 --> 02:43:36,195
recently with a 1 million

4845
02:43:36,195 --> 02:43:36,763
Dollar grant, they began a

4846
02:43:36,763 --> 02:43:38,763
painting project and

4847
02:43:39,164 --> 02:43:41,564
installing new windows. They

4848
02:43:42,102 --> 02:43:42,869
keep their ground meat and

4849
02:43:42,869 --> 02:43:44,770
landscaped put in several

4850
02:43:44,770 --> 02:43:46,906
gardens for the residents to

4851
02:43:46,906 --> 02:43:47,907
enjoy. The hope is others in

4852
02:43:47,907 --> 02:43:50,176
the community would also keep

4853
02:43:50,176 --> 02:43:50,743
up their properties as well.

4854
02:43:50,743 --> 02:43:53,743
And we would be good

4855
02:43:55,470 --> 02:43:57,160
neighbors. Someone had raised

4856
02:43:57,160 --> 02:43:58,518
questions in the past about

4857
02:43:58,518 --> 02:43:59,218
increased traffic. Most of the

4858
02:43:59,218 --> 02:44:01,200
residents in our programs do

4859
02:44:01,200 --> 02:44:04,620
not own cars. They use public

4860
02:44:05,910 --> 02:44:05,825
transportation. Gradually as

4861
02:44:05,825 --> 02:44:08,595
they get on their feet and get

4862
02:44:08,595 --> 02:44:10,663
a job and become responsible

4863
02:44:10,663 --> 02:44:11,665
citizens. Some will purchase a

4864
02:44:11,665 --> 02:44:14,200
vehicle to aid in their goals

4865
02:44:14,200 --> 02:44:16,936
of living a productive life.

4866
02:44:16,936 --> 02:44:18,504
We are very proud of those who

4867
02:44:18,504 --> 02:44:19,205
accomplish this. But it is a

4868
02:44:19,205 --> 02:44:22,205
very limited amount of people

4869
02:44:22,275 --> 02:44:25,275
and certainly would not create

4870
02:44:26,179 --> 02:44:27,413
traffic jams in the area. But

4871
02:44:27,413 --> 02:44:28,981
if that were the case, I would

4872
02:44:28,981 --> 02:44:31,684
be extremely thrilled to have

4873
02:44:31,684 --> 02:44:33,319
that kind of success of

4874
02:44:33,319 --> 02:44:34,153
getting people off the streets

4875
02:44:34,153 --> 02:44:37,153
of Jacksonville and back to

4876
02:44:37,657 --> 02:44:40,593
living a beautiful life. Every

4877
02:44:40,593 --> 02:44:41,528
big city has homeless people

4878
02:44:41,528 --> 02:44:43,363
and individuals with drug

4879
02:44:43,363 --> 02:44:44,864
addiction and alcohol

4880
02:44:44,864 --> 02:44:46,932
problems. I am proud of how

4881
02:44:46,932 --> 02:44:47,934
city rescue mission has. 24

4882
02:44:47,934 --> 02:44:49,803
hour care so that the streets

4883
02:44:49,803 --> 02:44:52,803
around the mission are not

4884
02:44:53,106 --> 02:44:54,207
littered with encampments. I

4885
02:44:54,207 --> 02:44:57,110
see their work as a service to

4886
02:44:57,110 --> 02:44:57,777
the entire population by those

4887
02:44:57,777 --> 02:45:01,377
in need by helping those in

4888
02:45:01,581 --> 02:45:02,448
need. We have mothers who

4889
02:45:02,448 --> 02:45:05,618
would be sleeping in their car

4890
02:45:05,618 --> 02:45:08,618
if the mission weren't open.

4891
02:45:08,921 --> 02:45:09,589
We had a man who was a

4892
02:45:09,589 --> 02:45:10,290
self-proclaimed belligerent

4893
02:45:10,290 --> 02:45:12,910
drunk living on the sidewalk

4894
02:45:12,910 --> 02:45:15,910
in the West Side. Until

4895
02:45:15,661 --> 02:45:18,164
decided to get help. He met

4896
02:45:18,164 --> 02:45:21,401
Jesus and it was filled with

4897
02:45:21,401 --> 02:45:22,568
joy and he was transformed. We

4898
02:45:22,568 --> 02:45:24,704
have individuals who are

4899
02:45:24,704 --> 02:45:25,571
working functional alcoholics

4900
02:45:25,571 --> 02:45:27,273
until they couldn't keep up

4901
02:45:27,273 --> 02:45:29,441
the charade any longer. They

4902
02:45:29,441 --> 02:45:32,478
lost their jobs and they came

4903
02:45:32,478 --> 02:45:36,678
to us for help. We get people

4904
02:45:37,250 --> 02:45:37,951
from all over Jacksonville.

4905
02:45:37,951 --> 02:45:38,584
City rescue missions work is

4906
02:45:38,584 --> 02:45:40,419
extensive and having the

4907
02:45:40,419 --> 02:45:42,880
proper zoning would aid them

4908
02:45:42,880 --> 02:45:43,990
and their amazing work. Thank

4909
02:45:43,990 --> 02:45:46,390
you for voting. Yes.

Council and everyone here

4921
02:46:13,119 --> 02:46:14,254
offering food, compassion and

4922
02:46:14,254 --> 02:46:17,254
hope 2 people who had nowhere

4923
02:46:18,291 --> 02:46:18,925
else to turn that could never

4924
02:46:18,925 --> 02:46:19,625
have imagined that their

4925
02:46:19,625 --> 02:46:22,295
simple act of kindness would

4926
02:46:22,295 --> 02:46:24,264
become city rescue mission. A

4927
02:46:24,264 --> 02:46:26,132
ministry that has faithfully

4928
02:46:26,132 --> 02:46:28,100
served Jacksonville for 80

4929
02:46:28,100 --> 02:46:28,802
years Today. City Rescue

4930
02:46:28,802 --> 02:46:30,802
mission provides meals,

4931
02:46:31,710 --> 02:46:32,973
shelter, addiction recovery,

4932
02:46:32,973 --> 02:46:34,973
transitional housing workforce

4933
02:46:36,109 --> 02:46:37,770
development and medical and

4934
02:46:37,770 --> 02:46:38,945
dental care. Every day we see

4935
02:46:38,945 --> 02:46:39,879
lives transformed. As you

4936
02:46:39,879 --> 02:46:42,215
heard as people move from

4937
02:46:42,215 --> 02:46:44,615
homelessness to housing from

4938
02:46:46,118 --> 02:46:46,986
addiction to recovery from

4939
02:46:46,986 --> 02:46:48,986
unemployment to meaningful

4940
02:46:48,989 --> 02:46:50,656
work and from despair to hope.

4941
02:46:50,656 --> 02:46:52,858
None of that would happen

4942
02:46:52,858 --> 02:46:55,695
without a place where healing

4943
02:46:55,695 --> 02:46:58,695
can begin. Today. I'm not

4944
02:46:59,232 --> 02:47:01,467
asking for funding. I'm simply

4945
02:47:01,467 --> 02:47:03,169
asking for the ability to

4946
02:47:03,169 --> 02:47:06,169
better utilize our property at

4947
02:47:07,106 --> 02:47:08,341
the mcduff campus, which City

4948
02:47:08,341 --> 02:47:11,341
Rescue mission has owned and

4949
02:47:11,344 --> 02:47:12,450
operated for nearly 30 years.

4950
02:47:12,450 --> 02:47:15,450
This rezoning does not change

4951
02:47:15,482 --> 02:47:16,283
who we are or our mission is

4952
02:47:16,283 --> 02:47:19,283
simply allows us to Stuart,

4953
02:47:19,886 --> 02:47:20,519
our existing campus more

4954
02:47:20,519 --> 02:47:22,889
effectively and meet the

4955
02:47:22,889 --> 02:47:23,623
growing needs of Jacksonville

4956
02:47:23,623 --> 02:47:25,792
for 3 decades. We have work to

4957
02:47:25,792 --> 02:47:28,494
be good neighbors. Our campus

4958
02:47:28,494 --> 02:47:30,494
is professionally maintain

4959
02:47:31,330 --> 02:47:34,330
staffed. 24 hours a day and

4960
02:47:34,467 --> 02:47:35,201
committed to being a safe

4961
02:47:35,201 --> 02:47:35,969
positive presidents.

4962
02:47:35,969 --> 02:47:37,703
Presidents in the Lackawanna

4963
02:47:37,703 --> 02:47:38,504
and North Riverside

4964
02:47:38,504 --> 02:47:40,807
communities. We believe that's

4965
02:47:40,807 --> 02:47:42,742
serving our neighbors also

4966
02:47:42,742 --> 02:47:45,742
means being a good neighbor.

4967
02:47:47,113 --> 02:47:48,140
Earlier this year, this

4968
02:47:48,140 --> 02:47:49,715
council on or city rescue

4969
02:47:49,715 --> 02:47:51,715
missions. 80th anniversary

4970
02:47:53,186 --> 02:47:56,890
with a resolution sponsored by

4971
02:47:56,890 --> 02:47:57,924
COUNCILMAN Johnson recognizing

4972
02:47:57,924 --> 02:47:59,250
are decades of service to

4973
02:47:59,250 --> 02:48:01,425
Jacksonville. We are deeply

4974
02:48:03,229 --> 02:48:04,397
grateful because it affirmed

4975
02:48:04,397 --> 02:48:06,733
our partnership that has

4976
02:48:06,733 --> 02:48:09,302
existed between the city and

4977
02:48:09,302 --> 02:48:11,437
the mission for generations.

4978
02:48:11,437 --> 02:48:12,905
We understand that there might

4979
02:48:12,905 --> 02:48:13,773
be questions that were raised

4980
02:48:13,773 --> 02:48:15,742
through this process and

4981
02:48:15,742 --> 02:48:18,142
respect the opportunity for

4982
02:48:20,460 --> 02:48:21,481
them but are record stands by

4983
02:48:21,481 --> 02:48:22,181
itself. Past performance is

4984
02:48:22,181 --> 02:48:22,749
one of the strongest

4985
02:48:22,749 --> 02:48:24,749
predictors of future

4986
02:48:27,854 --> 02:48:29,556
performance. These years. We

4987
02:48:29,556 --> 02:48:30,557
have operated both campuses

4988
02:48:30,557 --> 02:48:32,258
responsibly safely and in

4989
02:48:32,258 --> 02:48:34,258
partnership with the

4990
02:48:34,361 --> 02:48:36,361
community. This rezoning

4991
02:48:36,896 --> 02:48:37,530
simply allows us to continue

4992
02:48:37,530 --> 02:48:38,597
doing what we've already

4993
02:48:38,597 --> 02:48:41,334
demonstrated that we can do

4994
02:48:41,334 --> 02:48:43,469
well, we respectfully ask for

4995
02:48:43,469 --> 02:48:44,137
your support. So the city

4996
02:48:44,137 --> 02:48:45,905
rescue mission can continue

4997
02:48:45,905 --> 02:48:47,107
transforming lives,

4998
02:48:47,107 --> 02:48:47,740
strengthening families and

4999
02:48:47,740 --> 02:48:49,740
serving Jacksonville for

5000
02:48:50,177 --> 02:48:51,444
another 80 years. Thank you.

02:49:19,639 --> 02:49:22,639
I have one speaker card.

5013
02:49:27,246 --> 02:49:27,980
MISTER Stassi. Paul Stasi,

5014
02:49:27,980 --> 02:49:29,916
executive Director City Rescue

5015
02:49:29,916 --> 02:49:31,684
Mission address on file again.

5016
02:49:31,684 --> 02:49:34,840
Thank you. PRESIDENT Howland

5017
02:49:35,421 --> 02:49:36,389
and members of City Council

5018
02:49:36,389 --> 02:49:38,789
Jacksonville is facing an

5019
02:49:40,160 --> 02:49:42,160
affordable housing crisis.

5020
02:49:42,395 --> 02:49:43,196
Everyday City rescue mission

5021
02:49:43,196 --> 02:49:43,797
helps people overcome

5022
02:49:43,797 --> 02:49:45,797
homelessness addiction.

5023
02:49:46,566 --> 02:49:47,267
Another life challenges. But

5024
02:49:47,267 --> 02:49:49,469
too often when they're ready

5025
02:49:49,469 --> 02:49:50,200
to move forward, they cannot

5026
02:49:50,200 --> 02:49:52,200
find housing that's

5027
02:49:54,700 --> 02:49:56,476
affordable. We are asking for

5028
02:49:56,476 --> 02:49:58,311
your support to build studio

5029
02:49:58,311 --> 02:50:01,311
apartments on the Hunt Street

5030
02:50:01,548 --> 02:50:02,215
portion of our existing 6 acre

5031
02:50:02,215 --> 02:50:04,518
campus along with the other

5032
02:50:04,518 --> 02:50:06,619
things that are in this bill.

5033
02:50:06,619 --> 02:50:09,389
This is not new for the

5034
02:50:09,389 --> 02:50:12,989
mission. It is the next step.

5035
02:50:13,226 --> 02:50:13,993
In a proven one for more than

5036
02:50:13,993 --> 02:50:16,393
10 years, we have successfully

5037
02:50:16,663 --> 02:50:17,730
operated transitional housing

5038
02:50:17,730 --> 02:50:20,400
that helps people move from

5039
02:50:20,400 --> 02:50:21,901
homelessness to independence.

5040
02:50:21,901 --> 02:50:22,602
This project simply creates

5041
02:50:22,602 --> 02:50:25,200
more opportunities for people

5042
02:50:26,607 --> 02:50:27,274
to have. Who have already done

5043
02:50:27,274 --> 02:50:30,274
the hard work of rebuilding

5044
02:50:31,210 --> 02:50:32,645
their lives. There MAY be

5045
02:50:32,645 --> 02:50:35,450
questions about traffic in

5046
02:50:35,782 --> 02:50:36,883
height of the building. The

5047
02:50:36,883 --> 02:50:39,219
reality is most of our

5048
02:50:39,219 --> 02:50:39,920
residents, as you heard, don't

5049
02:50:39,920 --> 02:50:42,320
have vehicles traffic impact

5050
02:50:42,355 --> 02:50:45,355
is minimal. And we already

5051
02:50:45,559 --> 02:50:48,228
have a 4 story building on our

5052
02:50:48,228 --> 02:50:49,996
campus. So this proposal is

5053
02:50:49,996 --> 02:50:52,396
consistent with what exists

5054
02:50:53,633 --> 02:50:56,633
today and has for years.

5055
02:50:57,170 --> 02:50:57,871
Consider what currently lines

5056
02:50:57,871 --> 02:51:00,871
the section of Edison Street,

5057
02:51:01,641 --> 02:51:03,443
which should be the the

5058
02:51:03,443 --> 02:51:06,460
backyard of this section where

5059
02:51:06,460 --> 02:51:07,447
we're looking to add

5060
02:51:07,447 --> 02:51:11,470
apartments. It's a j. A parcel

5061
02:51:11,150 --> 02:51:12,520
of vacant lot. A boarded-up

5062
02:51:12,520 --> 02:51:14,452
house, which actually since

5063
02:51:15,455 --> 02:51:16,122
the law's committee last week,

5064
02:51:16,122 --> 02:51:16,789
I've been in no negotiation

5065
02:51:16,789 --> 02:51:19,789
with the owner to purchase

5066
02:51:20,460 --> 02:51:21,270
ourselves. And then another

5067
02:51:21,270 --> 02:51:22,996
vacant home. That is

5068
02:51:22,996 --> 02:51:24,996
reportedly occupied by

5069
02:51:25,198 --> 02:51:26,633
squatters. Instead of vacant

5070
02:51:26,633 --> 02:51:29,569
properties. And boy, we want

5071
02:51:29,569 --> 02:51:31,471
to offer safe, well-managed

5072
02:51:31,471 --> 02:51:33,172
housing, attractive,

5073
02:51:33,172 --> 02:51:34,574
landscaping and a campus that

5074
02:51:34,574 --> 02:51:35,308
continues to serve both its

5075
02:51:35,308 --> 02:51:37,708
residents and the surrounding

5076
02:51:39,312 --> 02:51:40,248
neighborhood. We are investing

5077
02:51:40,248 --> 02:51:43,248
in this community because we

5078
02:51:43,250 --> 02:51:44,551
believe it deserves better.

5079
02:51:44,551 --> 02:51:45,251
This request is not about

5080
02:51:45,251 --> 02:51:47,453
changing who city rescue

5081
02:51:47,453 --> 02:51:48,755
mission is. It's about

5082
02:51:48,755 --> 02:51:51,391
allowing us to do more. But

5083
02:51:51,391 --> 02:51:52,893
what we have faithfully done

5084
02:51:52,893 --> 02:51:55,328
for the last 80 years, helping

5085
02:51:55,328 --> 02:51:57,728
people move from crisis

5086
02:51:57,931 --> 02:51:58,631
stability, dependence to

5087
02:51:58,631 --> 02:52:00,631
independence and homelessness

5088
02:52:01,868 --> 02:52:04,371
to home. I respectfully ask

5089
02:52:04,371 --> 02:52:05,505
for your support of this Bill.

5090
02:52:05,505 --> 02:52:07,700
Thank you. It spreads. We have

02:52:07,700 --> 02:52:07,908

5098
02:52:24,190 --> 02:52:27,190

And say that I appreciated the

5167
02:55:09,489 --> 02:55:12,489
developer and the owner and

5168
02:55:13,359 --> 02:55:14,494
how planning and really

5169

community thought they put

5170
02:55:18,598 --> 02:55:19,300
into this proposal. I was at

5171
02:55:19,300 --> 02:55:20,340
they'll use the meeting where

5172
02:55:20,340 --> 02:55:23,370
it was presented and you could

5173
02:55:23,370 --> 02:55:24,404
really tell that they. Took

5174
02:55:24,404 --> 02:55:25,338
into account not only their

5175
02:55:25,338 --> 02:55:26,973
needs, but also the needs of

5176
02:55:26,973 --> 02:55:28,108
the community around them and

5177
02:55:28,108 --> 02:55:30,508
how what they're proposing

5178
02:55:31,278 --> 02:55:32,479
could impact that community. I

5179
02:55:32,479 --> 02:55:33,447
hope to see more proposals

5180
02:55:33,447 --> 02:55:36,150
like this where they really

5181
02:55:36,150 --> 02:55:36,884
are working with us to ensure

5182
02:55:36,884 --> 02:55:39,753

5183

is in conjunction with the

5186
02:55:43,757 --> 02:55:46,757
area. They're in versus what

5187
02:55:46,760 --> 02:55:47,628
we are seeing more and more

5188
02:55:47,628 --> 02:55:49,863
where there is friction

5189
02:55:49,863 --> 02:55:52,263
between developers and the

will let this river MISTER

5541

Peterson, correct me if I'm

5542
03:08:38,632 --> 03:08:41,402
wrong. But I think the issue

5543
03:08:41,402 --> 03:08:42,690
was there was a believe at the

5544
03:08:42,690 --> 03:08:43,338
time that with the bill as

5545
03:08:43,338 --> 03:08:45,307
originally filed, that they

5546
03:08:45,307 --> 03:08:46,307
were on the project was going

5547
03:08:46,307 --> 03:08:48,276
to be on city-owned property

5548
03:08:48,276 --> 03:08:48,977
and it's not city on property.

5549
03:08:48,977 --> 03:08:51,977
It's private property. So it

5550
03:08:52,790 --> 03:08:52,781
can't be listed under our cip.

5551
03:08:52,781 --> 03:08:53,414
So I let MISS Revert address

5552
03:08:53,414 --> 03:08:55,814

5553
03:08:56,584 --> 03:08:57,485

03:08:59,354 --> 03:09:01,522
had to remove it from the cip

5557
03:09:01,522 --> 03:09:03,124
because it's not city-owned

5558
03:09:03,124 --> 03:09:03,758
property. So that's why we're

5559
03:09:03,758 --> 03:09:05,794
moving it into the other

abstention.

5768
03:17:04,680 --> 03:17:04,769
>> By your vote 2026, 0, 4, 9,

5788
03:17:43,544 --> 03:17:45,680
>> We now move on to the

5789
03:17:45,680 --> 03:17:46,247
introduction first reading

5790
03:17:46,247 --> 03:17:48,247
resolution to Norges

5791
03:17:48,583 --> 03:17:50,751
ordinances beginning on page.

5792
03:17:50,751 --> 03:17:53,151
38 starting with item number

5793
03:17:54,956 --> 03:17:55,656
anyone. 2026? 500. There are

5794
03:17:55,656 --> 03:17:57,959
no public participation car.

5795
03:17:57,959 --> 03:17:58,694
So I move the emergency.

5796
03:17:58,694 --> 03:18:02,294
>> We have a motion and second

5797
03:18:02,297 --> 03:18:02,964
on the emergency. Seeing no

5798
03:18:02,964 --> 03:18:03,666
speakers in the queue will

5799
03:18:03,666 --> 03:18:04,300
take this vote virtually all

5800
03:18:04,300 --> 03:18:05,267
in favor of the emergency

5801
03:18:05,267 --> 03:18:08,267
indicate by saying Aye, I

5802
03:18:09,438 --> 03:18:10,406
again say no emergency passes.

5803
03:18:10,406 --> 03:18:11,474
>> Again, I should note

5804
03:18:11,474 --> 03:18:12,174
they're no cards for this one.

5805
03:18:12,174 --> 03:18:14,477
So I will move the bill as an

5806
03:18:14,477 --> 03:18:15,512
emergency.

5807
03:18:15,512 --> 03:18:16,613
>> We have a motion and the

5808
03:18:16,613 --> 03:18:17,280
second on the bill as an

5809
03:18:17,280 --> 03:18:17,980
emergency. And I believe at

5810
03:18:17,980 --> 03:18:20,750
this point, MR. Petersen, you

5811
03:18:20,750 --> 03:18:24,950
would like to. We did. You you

5812
03:18:26,423 --> 03:18:27,291
would like to speak.

5813
03:18:27,291 --> 03:18:28,291
>> Through the present to the

5814
03:18:28,291 --> 03:18:29,159
council so that this bill has

5815
03:18:29,159 --> 03:18:29,759
moved is an emergency tonight

5816
03:18:29,759 --> 03:18:32,620
to notify the property

5817
03:18:32,620 --> 03:18:35,662
appraiser by AUGUST 4th of the

5818
03:18:35,700 --> 03:18:36,434
city's rollback rate. The

5819
03:18:36,434 --> 03:18:37,670
proposed millage rates for the

5820
03:18:37,670 --> 03:18:38,602
upcoming budget which are

5821
03:18:38,602 --> 03:18:41,720
staying the same as last

5822
03:18:41,720 --> 03:18:41,940
year's council approve rates.

5823
03:18:41,940 --> 03:18:43,808
And then also the SEPTEMBER

5824
03:18:43,808 --> 03:18:45,100
8th public hearing that will

5825
03:18:45,100 --> 03:18:45,677
occur where the public will

5826
03:18:45,677 --> 03:18:48,179
get to come and talk to you

5827
03:18:48,179 --> 03:18:50,148
about the mileage rates. This

5828
03:18:50,148 --> 03:18:52,830
just as I said, keep the rates

5829
03:18:52,830 --> 03:18:52,884
the same as last year. It does

5830
03:18:52,884 --> 03:18:55,487
set the high water mark for

5831
03:18:55,487 --> 03:18:57,322
the mileage rates for the

5832
03:18:57,322 --> 03:18:58,458
proposed years. So from this

5833
03:18:58,458 --> 03:18:59,158
point forward Finance

5834
03:18:59,158 --> 03:19:01,527
Committee and the council can

5835
03:19:01,527 --> 03:19:02,795
lower the millage rate. But

5836
03:19:02,795 --> 03:19:03,396
after tonight, it's nearly

5837
03:19:03,396 --> 03:19:04,630
impossible to raise the

5838
03:19:04,630 --> 03:19:07,630
mileage rate above what you

5839
03:19:08,901 --> 03:19:10,360
approve tonight.

5840
03:19:10,360 --> 03:19:11,971
>> All right. Thank you, MR.

5841
03:19:11,971 --> 03:19:13,206
Petersen. So we have a motion

5842
03:19:13,206 --> 03:19:15,750
and second on the bill as an

5843
03:19:15,750 --> 03:19:15,775
emergency, we have no other

5844
03:19:15,775 --> 03:19:18,775
speakers in the queue. Let's

5845
03:19:30,458 --> 03:19:32,858
open about, of course.

5846
03:19:35,597 --> 03:19:36,365
>> 17 yeas, one nay.

5847
03:19:36,365 --> 03:19:38,365
>> By your vote. 2026, 0, 5,

5848
03:19:39,668 --> 03:19:40,602
0, 0 is approved.

5849
03:19:40,602 --> 03:19:43,602
>> All right. Now moving on

5850
03:19:44,600 --> 03:19:44,673
now to page. 39 item number 87

5851
03:19:44,673 --> 03:19:46,575
Twenty-twenty 6, 5, 9, 6. I

5852
03:19:46,575 --> 03:19:47,242
move the emergency. We have a

5853
03:19:47,242 --> 03:19:50,842
motion and a second on the

5854
03:19:52,140 --> 03:19:52,682
emergency. Seeing no one in

5855
03:19:52,682 --> 03:19:53,382
the queue. Let's take this

5856
03:19:53,382 --> 03:19:55,418
vote verbally all in favor of

5857
03:19:55,418 --> 03:19:55,718
emergency indicate by saying

5858
03:19:55,718 --> 03:19:56,352
Aye.

5859
03:19:56,352 --> 03:19:58,188
>> I again say emergency

5860
03:19:58,188 --> 03:20:01,357
passes. Move the bill as an

5861
03:20:01,357 --> 03:20:02,250
emergency.

5862
03:20:02,250 --> 03:20:05,625
>> I have no Does this one

5863
03:20:08,298 --> 03:20:08,999
other than mine? I suspect MR.

5864
03:20:08,999 --> 03:20:09,667
Sheriff, I'm Mike. Before we

5865
03:20:09,667 --> 03:20:11,301
take a vote on this one, I

5866
03:20:11,301 --> 03:20:13,303
just want to make a comment. I

5867
03:20:13,303 --> 03:20:14,471
really appreciate this is my

5868
03:20:14,471 --> 03:20:15,172
7th year serving on the

5869
03:20:15,172 --> 03:20:15,906
canvassing board. I can tell

5870
03:20:15,906 --> 03:20:16,707
you there's more important job

5871
03:20:16,707 --> 03:20:20,307
that I've had during my tenure

5872
03:20:20,712 --> 03:20:21,712
on the council. Somewhat

5873
03:20:21,712 --> 03:20:24,712
disconcerting to we had logic

5874
03:20:24,715 --> 03:20:25,550
and accuracy test last Friday.

5875
03:20:25,550 --> 03:20:26,217
It was learned at that point

5876
03:20:26,217 --> 03:20:27,510
in time that the number of

5877
03:20:27,510 --> 03:20:29,451
mail-in ballots has dropped

5878
03:20:30,822 --> 03:20:31,556
dramatically. I'm concerned

5879
03:20:31,556 --> 03:20:35,156
about the prospect of that. I

5880
03:20:35,194 --> 03:20:35,894
want to constituents out there

5881
03:20:35,894 --> 03:20:37,930
the due diligence that I and

5882
03:20:37,930 --> 03:20:38,597
the other members of the

5883
03:20:38,597 --> 03:20:40,997
canvassing in coming over

5884
03:20:42,602 --> 03:20:43,336
those balances. The if it's a

5885
03:20:43,336 --> 03:20:43,903
matter of convenience for you,

5886
03:20:43,903 --> 03:20:44,603
it's also a matter of

5887
03:20:44,603 --> 03:20:46,939
importance that you take the

5888
03:20:46,939 --> 03:20:48,140
time to vote and do so by

5889
03:20:48,140 --> 03:20:51,740
ballot is still viable way to

5890
03:20:52,613 --> 03:20:53,280
work. So thank you, MR.

5891
03:20:53,280 --> 03:20:55,482
>> Do we have motion on the

5892
03:20:55,482 --> 03:20:56,115

5962
03:23:26,109 --> 03:23:29,109
Mary, would you mind just

5963
03:23:29,813 --> 03:23:32,820
explaining what this bill

5964
03:23:32,820 --> 03:23:33,984
>> Yes, thank you. Through the

5965
03:23:33,984 --> 03:23:34,585
PRESIDENT To the council. So

5966
03:23:34,585 --> 03:23:35,185
this legislation would

5967
03:23:35,185 --> 03:23:37,185
reschedule the Finance

5968
03:23:37,187 --> 03:23:38,823
Committee Tu use e committee

5969
03:23:38,823 --> 03:23:40,424
meetings that are regularly

5970
03:23:40,424 --> 03:23:42,824
scheduled for Tuesday. AUGUST

5971
03:23:44,610 --> 03:23:44,896
18th 2 Wednesday, AUGUST 19th.

5972
03:23:44,896 --> 03:23:47,765
Has the 18th is the date of

5973
03:23:47,765 --> 03:23:50,765
the primary election and it

5974
03:23:50,768 --> 03:23:51,803
will also rescheduled the

5975
03:23:51,803 --> 03:23:54,672
finance to you. And use

5976
03:23:54,672 --> 03:23:55,340
committee meetings of Tuesday,

5977
03:23:55,340 --> 03:23:57,340
NOVEMBER 3rd, 2 Wednesday,

5978
03:23:57,709 --> 03:23:59,879
NOVEMBER 4th, so that the

5979
03:23:59,879 --> 03:24:01,747
general election, which occurs

5980
03:24:01,747 --> 03:24:02,515
on the 3rd can be observed by

5981
03:24:02,515 --> 03:24:03,249
individuals who might want to

5982
03:24:03,249 --> 03:24:03,849
attend to that versus

5983
03:24:03,849 --> 03:24:05,849
attending Count Council

5984
03:24:06,319 --> 03:24:08,787
committee meeting. So this is

5985
03:24:08,787 --> 03:24:09,422
an adjustment that the council

5986
03:24:09,422 --> 03:24:10,220
makes with the with the

5987
03:24:10,220 --> 03:24:12,325
election dates fall on

5988
03:24:12,325 --> 03:24:12,958
committee or council days. So

5989
03:24:12,958 --> 03:24:15,929
it's in keeping with past

5990
03:24:15,929 --> 03:24:16,863
practice of the city Council.

5991
03:24:16,863 --> 03:24:18,640
>> Thank you, Mary. And

5992
03:24:18,640 --> 03:24:19,766
there's a companion bill or a

5993
03:24:19,766 --> 03:24:21,401
related bill running through

5994
03:24:21,401 --> 03:24:22,903
that schedules. Reschedules

5995
03:24:22,903 --> 03:24:25,873
meetings for MAY of next year.

5996
03:24:25,873 --> 03:24:26,707
As I understand

5997
03:24:26,707 --> 03:24:27,608
>> Yes, MISTER PRESIDENT, that

5998
03:24:27,608 --> 03:24:29,843
one was not done as an

5999
03:24:29,843 --> 03:24:30,511
emergency, but there is a bill

6000
03:24:30,511 --> 03:24:33,470
item one. 37 on the agenda

6001
03:24:33,470 --> 03:24:34,150
that would reschedule finance

6002
03:24:34,150 --> 03:24:34,982
to eu and land use and zoning

6003
03:24:34,982 --> 03:24:36,350
on that are currently

6004
03:24:36,350 --> 03:24:38,750
scheduled for Tuesday. MAY

6005
03:24:39,988 --> 03:24:40,655
18th to Wednesday MAY 19th in

6006
03:24:40,655 --> 03:24:43,550
observance of the election

6007
03:24:43,910 --> 03:24:44,960
date that would occur on MAY

6008
03:24:44,960 --> 03:24:47,950
18th. And it also just

6009
03:24:47,950 --> 03:24:47,763
acknowledges the council rules

6010
03:24:47,763 --> 03:24:48,497
already provide that when a

6011
03:24:48,497 --> 03:24:51,660
regular meeting of the council

6012
03:24:51,660 --> 03:24:51,634
occurs on Election Day that

6013
03:24:51,634 --> 03:24:53,936
that is an automatic

6014
03:24:53,936 --> 03:24:55,370
rescheduling to the next day.

6015
03:24:55,370 --> 03:24:55,838
So while the bill doesn't

6016
03:24:55,838 --> 03:24:57,600
accomplish that because the

6017
03:24:57,600 --> 03:24:59,406
rules would automatically do

6018
03:24:59,809 --> 03:25:00,543
that, it does acknowledge that

6019
03:25:00,543 --> 03:25:01,644
of another opportunity through

6020
03:25:01,644 --> 03:25:02,645
this legislation want to get

6021
03:25:02,645 --> 03:25:03,346
noticed that the public be

6022
03:25:03,346 --> 03:25:06,346
made aware of that additional

6023
03:25:06,616 --> 03:25:07,284
change.

6024
03:25:07,284 --> 03:25:07,984
>> Thank you very much. We

6025
03:25:07,984 --> 03:25:10,420
have a motion and the second

6026
03:25:10,420 --> 03:25:11,880
on the bill is an emergency. I

6027
03:25:11,880 --> 03:25:14,880
see no speakers that's open

6028
03:25:22,433 --> 03:25:24,433
about, course. But

6029
03:25:25,369 --> 03:25:27,369
>> 18 yeas, 0 nays.

6030
03:25:28,472 --> 03:25:29,240
>> By your vote, 2026, 0, 5,

6031
03:25:29,240 --> 03:25:30,341
6, 8,

6032
03:25:30,341 --> 03:25:33,341

6033
03:25:35,213 --> 03:25:36,581
to the agenda item number 1,

6034
03:25:36,581 --> 03:25:38,150
5, 9 on page, 63, 2026, 5, 9,

6035
03:25:38,150 --> 03:25:41,150
1, happens to be a duplicate

6036
03:25:42,321 --> 03:25:43,322
of Bill item. Number 14, 2026

6037
03:25:43,322 --> 03:25:45,722
0, 5, 4, in order to dispose

6038
03:25:46,191 --> 03:25:47,693
of the duplication. I move

6039
03:25:47,693 --> 03:25:50,930
that we withdraw Twenty-twenty

6040
03:25:50,329 --> 03:25:50,663
6, 5, 9, 1, and I need a

6041
03:25:50,663 --> 03:25:51,530

9, As you said, it is

6045
03:25:58,939 --> 03:25:59,572
duplicative. There's a bill

6046
03:25:59,572 --> 03:26:02,275
that is exactly the same

6047
03:26:02,275 --> 03:26:04,278
earlier on the agenda. I see

6048
03:26:04,278 --> 03:26:04,911

03:27:38,710 --> 03:27:39,645
the right thing to do.

6096
03:27:39,645 --> 03:27:41,120
Correct?

6097
03:27:41,120 --> 03:27:42,681
>> I MR. PRESIDENT, would you

6098
03:27:42,681 --> 03:27:44,816
like me to address that?

6099
03:27:44,816 --> 03:27:47,687
Please do. Okay. So the motion

6100
03:27:47,687 --> 03:27:49,688
on the floor is to approve

6101
03:27:49,688 --> 03:27:50,422
ordinance 2025 8, 7, 2,

6102
03:27:50,422 --> 03:27:51,123
notwithstanding the veto of

6103
03:27:51,123 --> 03:27:54,723
the mayor. So if you pressed

6104
03:27:55,128 --> 03:27:55,928
Green or yes, that is a vote

6105
03:27:55,928 --> 03:27:57,130
to override the veto of the

6106
03:27:57,130 --> 03:27:58,798
mayor and approved the

6107
03:27:58,798 --> 03:28:01,798
ordinance. If you press and

6108
03:28:02,668 --> 03:28:04,537
read or no, that is a vote to

6109
03:28:04,537 --> 03:28:07,537
sustain the mayor's veto and

6110
03:28:07,774 --> 03:28:08,475
defeat ordinance 2025 8, 7, 2,

6111
03:28:08,475 --> 03:28:09,142
>> Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT,

6112
03:28:09,142 --> 03:28:11,377
thank you, MR. Populous. I

6113
03:28:11,377 --> 03:28:12,111
mean, we've had this debate

6114
03:28:12,111 --> 03:28:13,747
numerous times. Let's just get

6115
03:28:13,747 --> 03:28:15,915
out of here this evening. Vote

6116
03:28:15,915 --> 03:28:16,584
no vote no on this stupid

6117
03:28:16,584 --> 03:28:18,786
process. We actually really

6118
03:28:18,786 --> 03:28:19,486
shouldn't be here. But

6119
03:28:19,486 --> 03:28:22,722
regardless of why we are vote

6120
03:28:22,722 --> 03:28:25,722
now. Thank you. Thank you,

6121
03:28:27,461 --> 03:28:28,363
sir. Recognize DR. Salem.

6122
03:28:28,363 --> 03:28:29,630
Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT, I'll

6123
03:28:29,630 --> 03:28:32,663
just make a few points. Some

6124
03:28:34,102 --> 03:28:34,969
of which made before MR.

6125
03:28:34,969 --> 03:28:37,705
Packer indicated when we first

6126
03:28:37,705 --> 03:28:38,706
got into this, you want to get

6127
03:28:38,706 --> 03:28:39,641
this right.

6128
03:28:39,641 --> 03:28:41,543
>> I entertained several past

6129
03:28:41,543 --> 03:28:44,246
General counsel's to talk to

6130
03:28:44,246 --> 03:28:45,514
him as well pass experts in

6131
03:28:45,514 --> 03:28:46,248
our government. They convinced

6132
03:28:46,248 --> 03:28:47,815
him that we have the authority

6133
03:28:47,815 --> 03:28:50,352
to make appointments to these

6134
03:28:50,352 --> 03:28:53,952
to these boards. That had been

6135
03:28:55,591 --> 03:28:57,759
the policy. For 55 years in

6136
03:28:57,759 --> 03:28:59,361
this city. Up until when Mayor

6137
03:28:59,361 --> 03:29:00,280
De gun came in Mr, Faculty

6138
03:29:00,280 --> 03:29:02,428
became the general counsel.

6139
03:29:02,565 --> 03:29:04,600
This is nothing new. And I

6140
03:29:04,600 --> 03:29:07,600
want to make emphasize that

6141
03:29:08,171 --> 03:29:09,272
point why these 2 boards kha,

6142
03:29:09,272 --> 03:29:11,807
as I've said before, there are

6143
03:29:11,807 --> 03:29:12,542
all sorts of issues with k j

6144
03:29:12,542 --> 03:29:13,243
their budget approaches

6145
03:29:13,243 --> 03:29:14,744
60 million dollars. We should

6146
03:29:14,744 --> 03:29:18,344
have been put into those more

6147
03:29:18,748 --> 03:29:20,450
positions. The library board

6148
03:29:20,450 --> 03:29:21,184
again, 40 plus million

6149
03:29:21,184 --> 03:29:23,584
dollars. We should have

6150
03:29:26,690 --> 03:29:28,225
appointments to that board.

6151
03:29:28,225 --> 03:29:28,925
This. This bill respects the

6152
03:29:28,925 --> 03:29:32,525
strong mayor will form of our

6153
03:29:33,640 --> 03:29:36,640
government. We get 3 on Kha

6154
03:29:36,901 --> 03:29:37,768
and on the library board.

6155
03:29:37,768 --> 03:29:40,168
Those appointments occur as

6156
03:29:40,805 --> 03:29:42,106
people come off the board.

6157
03:29:42,106 --> 03:29:43,808
This in no way, shape or form

6158
03:29:43,808 --> 03:29:46,208
disrupts those boards or

6159
03:29:47,311 --> 03:29:48,913
anything similar to that. The

6160
03:29:48,913 --> 03:29:49,815
council present were only get

6161
03:29:49,815 --> 03:29:52,815
an appointment as people come

6162
03:29:54,219 --> 03:29:56,754
off those boards. Couple of

6163
03:29:56,754 --> 03:29:57,489
things that I've heard

6164
03:29:57,489 --> 03:30:00,489
discussed or taking power away

6165
03:30:01,726 --> 03:30:02,494
from the mayor. This mayor.

6166
03:30:02,494 --> 03:30:04,297
This bill isn't just for the

6167
03:30:04,297 --> 03:30:07,266
next year while Mayor de get

6168
03:30:07,266 --> 03:30:08,734
as mayor, this bill goes on

6169
03:30:08,734 --> 03:30:11,504
past that. It goes past my

6170
03:30:11,504 --> 03:30:12,572
tenure on this council. This

6171
03:30:12,572 --> 03:30:16,172
is a permanent change to these

6172
03:30:17,577 --> 03:30:18,311
boards. Its the question is,

6173
03:30:18,311 --> 03:30:19,479
should the city council have a

6174
03:30:19,479 --> 03:30:23,790
point to boards? We have the

6175
03:30:24,217 --> 03:30:25,685
authority. We voted for this

6176
03:30:25,685 --> 03:30:26,385
it past. Now we have to

6177
03:30:26,385 --> 03:30:29,985
override this veto to want to

6178
03:30:32,910 --> 03:30:33,760
maintain that. We are cold. We

6179
03:30:33,760 --> 03:30:34,494
are a co-equal branch of this

6180
03:30:34,494 --> 03:30:35,620
government and I feel strongly

6181
03:30:35,620 --> 03:30:37,462
we should have these

6182
03:30:42,336 --> 03:30:43,671
appointments. This bill is

6183
03:30:43,671 --> 03:30:45,472
similar to the Downtown

6184
03:30:45,472 --> 03:30:46,440
Investment Authority iaa. Our

6185
03:30:46,440 --> 03:30:48,840
PRESIDENT Has an appointment

6186
03:30:49,377 --> 03:30:51,646
to the bia board that he has

6187
03:30:51,646 --> 03:30:52,480
because that board is shared.

6188
03:30:52,480 --> 03:30:53,915
He will get those who will

6189
03:30:53,915 --> 03:30:55,884
have that appointment coming

6190
03:30:55,884 --> 03:30:58,719
up. So in summary, this bill

6191
03:30:58,719 --> 03:30:59,287
is not disruptive. It is

6192
03:30:59,287 --> 03:31:01,287
consistent with this

6193
03:31:03,580 --> 03:31:05,458
government. For the past 55

6194
03:31:06,995 --> 03:31:07,629
years, other than the last 3,

6195
03:31:07,629 --> 03:31:09,431
i believe we should have

6196
03:31:09,431 --> 03:31:11,466
appointments to this board as

6197
03:31:11,466 --> 03:31:12,401
we do with iea. And I

6198
03:31:12,401 --> 03:31:16,100
encourage you to vote yes on

6199
03:31:17,390 --> 03:31:17,739
this ordinance. Thank you.

6200
03:31:17,739 --> 03:31:20,739
Thank you. Doctor Salem over

6201
03:31:21,644 --> 03:31:22,278
to counsel I think MR.

6202
03:31:22,278 --> 03:31:24,278
PRESIDENT Counselor Salem

6203
03:31:24,547 --> 03:31:25,214
touched on the budget. Like I

6204
03:31:25,214 --> 03:31:26,449
said up with this kind the

6205
03:31:26,449 --> 03:31:27,183
first time, that was my

6206
03:31:27,183 --> 03:31:27,917
biggest motivation for voting.

6207
03:31:27,917 --> 03:31:31,721
Yes on this because I do want

6208
03:31:31,721 --> 03:31:32,355
us to have more input on this.

6209
03:31:32,355 --> 03:31:35,355
>> If you go back just 4

6210
03:31:35,358 --> 03:31:37,527
years, cages, budget has going

6211
03:31:37,527 --> 03:31:39,329
from 35 to 65. That's 86% for

6212
03:31:39,329 --> 03:31:40,300
years. Public safety, which I

6213
03:31:40,300 --> 03:31:41,831
think we all agree should be

6214
03:31:41,831 --> 03:31:43,733
the largest part of growing

6215
03:31:43,733 --> 03:31:45,736
government. Public safety is

6216
03:31:45,736 --> 03:31:48,472
going up. 41 1%. In fact, kj

6217
03:31:48,472 --> 03:31:49,139
had grown at the same rate of

6218
03:31:49,139 --> 03:31:49,840
public safety, their budget

6219
03:31:49,840 --> 03:31:51,142
would have been a 50 million

6220
03:31:51,142 --> 03:31:52,476
instead of 65 million this

6221
03:31:52,476 --> 03:31:53,478
past year. So I do want to

6222
03:31:53,478 --> 03:31:55,212
make sure we have some sort of

6223
03:31:55,212 --> 03:31:55,946
input on who were a point to

6224
03:31:55,946 --> 03:31:57,810
this board because the reality

6225
03:31:57,810 --> 03:31:58,490
is we're going to board

6226
03:31:58,490 --> 03:32:00,117
members that neither do more

6227
03:32:00,117 --> 03:32:02,120
with the same amount of money

6228
03:32:02,120 --> 03:32:02,854
or potentially do the same

6229
03:32:02,854 --> 03:32:04,823
with the less amount of money.

6230
03:32:04,823 --> 03:32:06,958
So I want to make sure we are

6231
03:32:06,958 --> 03:32:08,327
able that and put people that

6232
03:32:08,327 --> 03:32:09,861
we think are going to the best

6233
03:32:09,861 --> 03:32:10,562
and make the best use of the

6234
03:32:10,562 --> 03:32:14,132
money that kha gets all be a

6235
03:32:14,132 --> 03:32:14,832
yes on this again tonight.

6236
03:32:14,832 --> 03:32:18,432
Thank you, sir. Or to council

6237
03:32:19,437 --> 03:32:20,572
in Boyle. Thank you, MR.

6238
03:32:20,572 --> 03:32:21,207
PRESIDENT, I appreciate the

6239
03:32:21,207 --> 03:32:23,207
comments of Councilmember

6240
03:32:24,710 --> 03:32:27,779
Salem and and lane in on this.

6241
03:32:27,779 --> 03:32:28,146
But I wish Councilmember mayor

6242
03:32:28,146 --> 03:32:28,881
was here.

6243
03:32:28,881 --> 03:32:32,481
>> You know, if any quo trying

6244
03:32:32,718 --> 03:32:34,870
to fix it. We do have control.

6245
03:32:34,870 --> 03:32:35,688
We do have control. At the end

6246
03:32:35,688 --> 03:32:36,789
of the day, we see up or down

6247
03:32:36,789 --> 03:32:40,389
on on these appointment. So we

6248
03:32:40,493 --> 03:32:41,160
do have that control and the

6249
03:32:41,160 --> 03:32:43,296
questions and concerns with

6250
03:32:43,296 --> 03:32:45,696
respect to kj particular,

6251
03:32:46,466 --> 03:32:47,467
certainly we can make clear

6252
03:32:47,467 --> 03:32:49,135
our intent to see this managed

6253
03:32:49,135 --> 03:32:50,300
better or well if it isn't

6254
03:32:50,300 --> 03:32:53,603
already and to put people in

6255
03:32:53,607 --> 03:32:54,274
place in order to do that, you

6256
03:32:54,274 --> 03:32:55,208
know, many of you MAY know

6257
03:32:55,208 --> 03:32:56,710
this, but I put out biweekly

6258
03:32:56,710 --> 03:32:59,379
email after the city council

6259
03:32:59,379 --> 03:33:00,280
meetings and then that talk

6260
03:33:00,280 --> 03:33:03,880
about the area's bills and why

6261
03:33:04,218 --> 03:33:06,287
supported them or didn't. One

6262
03:33:06,287 --> 03:33:07,540
night and it goes talked about

6263
03:33:07,540 --> 03:33:07,622
5,000 constituents. And so I

6264
03:33:07,622 --> 03:33:09,924
used as a pretty good

6265
03:33:09,924 --> 03:33:10,658
barometer as to whether or not

6266
03:33:10,658 --> 03:33:12,360
items like these are important

6267
03:33:12,360 --> 03:33:14,662
to my constituents. I got one

6268
03:33:14,662 --> 03:33:17,465
response to it. He was

6269
03:33:17,465 --> 03:33:18,132
supportive of my vote against

6270
03:33:18,132 --> 03:33:20,869
this bill. The last time it

6271
03:33:20,869 --> 03:33:23,138
came around. People looking at

6272
03:33:23,138 --> 03:33:25,174
this is something that's not

6273
03:33:25,174 --> 03:33:27,609
critical. It's this is inside

6274
03:33:27,609 --> 03:33:28,611
baseball. And if we've got the

6275
03:33:28,611 --> 03:33:31,413
the opportunity to say up or

6276
03:33:31,413 --> 03:33:32,447
down on any of these

6277
03:33:32,447 --> 03:33:33,315
appointments, we have all the

6278
03:33:33,315 --> 03:33:35,451
power we need to make sure

6279
03:33:35,451 --> 03:33:36,284
these boards are properly

6280
03:33:36,284 --> 03:33:39,210
populated. And so I need see

6281
03:33:39,210 --> 03:33:39,989
no need to do this. And for

6282
03:33:39,989 --> 03:33:40,723
the record not doing this

6283
03:33:40,723 --> 03:33:44,326
because it gets me out of done

6284
03:33:44,326 --> 03:33:45,270
this 5 years ago and

6285
03:33:45,270 --> 03:33:46,496
COUNCILMAN Mayor Curry wasn't

6286
03:33:46,496 --> 03:33:49,298
who is in place. It doesn't

6287
03:33:49,298 --> 03:33:50,433
make sense to me that we you

6288
03:33:50,433 --> 03:33:51,500
want to make changes to kind

6289
03:33:51,500 --> 03:33:53,937
of boys you might recall kj

6290
03:33:53,937 --> 03:33:56,740
when it was established. This

6291
03:33:56,740 --> 03:33:57,307
assistant upon Mayor Curry

6292
03:33:57,307 --> 03:33:59,710
that he have all the

6293
03:33:59,710 --> 03:34:01,744
appointments in that process

6294
03:34:01,744 --> 03:34:02,379
and we did. Was not challenge

6295
03:34:02,379 --> 03:34:03,130
that that what MAY be his

6296
03:34:03,130 --> 03:34:05,413
challenge, but it didn't

6297
03:34:05,516 --> 03:34:06,584
happen that way. They broke.

6298
03:34:06,584 --> 03:34:07,450
Don't fix it. Let's leave this

6299
03:34:07,450 --> 03:34:08,618
thing alone and move on and

6300
03:34:08,618 --> 03:34:09,286
deal with the things people

6301
03:34:09,286 --> 03:34:11,688
care about. Thank you, MR.

6302
03:34:11,688 --> 03:34:14,880
PRESIDENT. Thank you, sir.

6303
03:34:15,259 --> 03:34:18,259
Over to MISS Clark. Mary.

6304
03:34:19,970 --> 03:34:22,697
Thank you. Chair. This bill by

6305
03:34:24,200 --> 03:34:24,903
its nature is disruptive. So

6306
03:34:24,903 --> 03:34:25,937
talk with previous council

6307
03:34:25,937 --> 03:34:28,337
members often about the

6308
03:34:29,274 --> 03:34:29,974
history behind bills and so

6309
03:34:29,974 --> 03:34:31,643
mayor Austin was the first to

6310
03:34:31,643 --> 03:34:32,344
basically establish to

6311
03:34:32,344 --> 03:34:34,344
Children's Commission, which

6312
03:34:35,647 --> 03:34:38,817
is very similar to this. And

6313
03:34:38,817 --> 03:34:39,651
so he had the wisdom to say

6314
03:34:39,651 --> 03:34:40,319
that.

6315
03:34:40,319 --> 03:34:40,986
>> As a mayor, there was a

6316
03:34:40,986 --> 03:34:43,986
certain amount of power he

6317
03:34:44,256 --> 03:34:44,857
didn't want to have in regards

6318
03:34:44,857 --> 03:34:47,250
to the financial aspect

6319
03:34:47,250 --> 03:34:48,560
because he thought that this

6320
03:34:48,560 --> 03:34:51,560
could create a problem in

6321
03:34:53,199 --> 03:34:54,330
without too. Just power but

6322
03:34:54,330 --> 03:34:54,634
nature, correct? And then

6323
03:34:54,634 --> 03:34:56,634
absolute power corrupts

6324
03:34:58,438 --> 03:35:01,438
absolutely. So he maintain the

6325
03:35:03,610 --> 03:35:05,646
idea that. You the mayor gets

6326
03:35:05,646 --> 03:35:06,546
to recommend and then the

6327
03:35:06,546 --> 03:35:08,946
council approves and them

6328
03:35:09,683 --> 03:35:10,784
going on. We're Delaney. Not

6329
03:35:10,784 --> 03:35:12,386
exactly sure. But I remember

6330
03:35:12,386 --> 03:35:13,860
that I would say that I

6331
03:35:13,860 --> 03:35:14,988
remember that being the most

6332
03:35:14,988 --> 03:35:15,956
productive use of this city.

6333
03:35:15,956 --> 03:35:19,556
And I was a young, younger

6334
03:35:19,793 --> 03:35:21,610
person. Then. But then Payton

6335
03:35:21,610 --> 03:35:22,300
had the Jacksonville journey

6336
03:35:22,300 --> 03:35:25,630
and cap the appointment as big

6337
03:35:27,868 --> 03:35:28,902
the same. Then going on to

6338
03:35:28,902 --> 03:35:29,670
Brown. Not exactly sure. But

6339
03:35:29,670 --> 03:35:30,404
just going and just kind of

6340
03:35:30,404 --> 03:35:31,773
piggybacking on what you said.

6341
03:35:31,773 --> 03:35:33,773
Councilmember Boylan. Mayor

6342
03:35:36,911 --> 03:35:37,479
Curry. At the inclination to

6343
03:35:37,479 --> 03:35:40,479
keep the same type of

6344
03:35:41,783 --> 03:35:42,583
structure. I'm not sure

6345
03:35:42,583 --> 03:35:45,921
exactly why it needs to be

6346
03:35:45,921 --> 03:35:46,388
changed, but it doesn't. This

6347
03:35:46,388 --> 03:35:48,388
current mayoral

6348
03:35:50,590 --> 03:35:52,459
administration. Being able to

6349
03:35:52,828 --> 03:35:55,828
a point. And recommend purses

6350
03:35:56,650 --> 03:35:57,300
to the board doesn't diminish

6351
03:35:57,300 --> 03:35:58,701
our power. And it's been said

6352
03:35:58,701 --> 03:36:00,200
before that it doesn't. It

6353
03:36:00,200 --> 03:36:03,200
doesn't. And it creates a

6354
03:36:03,390 --> 03:36:04,474
balance. And once again, I go

6355
03:36:04,474 --> 03:36:06,275
back to the information that I

6356
03:36:06,275 --> 03:36:08,110
received in regards to Austin.

6357
03:36:08,110 --> 03:36:10,547
And that was the fact that he

6358
03:36:10,547 --> 03:36:13,183
thought about the fact that at

6359
03:36:13,183 --> 03:36:13,750
this point cages with which is

6360
03:36:13,750 --> 03:36:14,484
what the bill or this

6361
03:36:14,484 --> 03:36:16,484
particular organization became

6362
03:36:18,540 --> 03:36:20,657
under Mayor Curry, the amount

6363
03:36:20,657 --> 03:36:22,259
of money that goes into that

6364
03:36:22,259 --> 03:36:25,259
board is very enticing. And

6365
03:36:26,730 --> 03:36:27,431
so. Having this particular

6366
03:36:27,431 --> 03:36:30,431
structure where you have the

6367
03:36:30,768 --> 03:36:32,690
mayor to recommend and we

6368
03:36:32,690 --> 03:36:34,872
approve is a balance way too,

6369
03:36:34,872 --> 03:36:38,109
on this board. And once again,

6370
03:36:38,109 --> 03:36:39,143
let's think about our

6371
03:36:39,143 --> 03:36:41,450
perception. Not just our

6372
03:36:41,450 --> 03:36:41,712
perception but how we are

6373
03:36:41,712 --> 03:36:44,712
perceived by this county by

6374
03:36:47,352 --> 03:36:48,200
the people. Do we want to keep

6375
03:36:48,200 --> 03:36:50,689
that or maintain or help to

6376
03:36:50,689 --> 03:36:51,423
further that perception by

6377
03:36:51,423 --> 03:36:54,225
changing the structure of this

6378
03:36:54,225 --> 03:36:56,261
board? And of course, I don't

6379
03:36:56,261 --> 03:36:56,962
think that any of us thought

6380
03:36:56,962 --> 03:36:59,732
that the man would approve it

6381
03:36:59,732 --> 03:37:01,990
or sign it. Certainly she

6382
03:37:01,990 --> 03:37:04,990
shouldn't. And whether it's a

6383
03:37:05,203 --> 03:37:05,971
female mayor, Bill Mayor,

6384
03:37:05,971 --> 03:37:07,400
Democrat, Republican, once

6385
03:37:07,400 --> 03:37:09,709
again, the structure of the

6386
03:37:09,709 --> 03:37:10,777
board isn't broken. And it

6387
03:37:10,777 --> 03:37:13,777
doesn't need to be fixed.

6388
03:37:15,348 --> 03:37:15,948
Thank you. Chair. Thank you,

6389
03:37:15,948 --> 03:37:18,348
ma'am. Over to counsel

6390
03:37:21,388 --> 03:37:23,357
Mueller. Thank you, MR.

6391
03:37:23,357 --> 03:37:24,240
PRESIDENT to the PRESIDENT,

6392
03:37:24,240 --> 03:37:27,624
I'd like to take a slightly

6393
03:37:29,290 --> 03:37:30,264
different approach

6394
03:37:30,264 --> 03:37:31,498
>> thankfully, the auditors

6395
03:37:31,498 --> 03:37:32,632
and researchers help me with

6396
03:37:32,632 --> 03:37:36,832
this. But I just want to take

6397
03:37:38,372 --> 03:37:39,106
actual approach on the past

6398
03:37:39,106 --> 03:37:42,106
and the current situation with

6399
03:37:42,276 --> 03:37:42,943
our boards and commissions.

6400
03:37:42,943 --> 03:37:46,543
And so by the numbers, you

6401
03:37:48,949 --> 03:37:49,617
know, I heard the comments I

6402
03:37:49,617 --> 03:37:51,786
down vote. So that's that's

6403
03:37:51,786 --> 03:37:54,489
enough for us to have. The

6404
03:37:54,489 --> 03:37:56,424
implication was and also mayor

6405
03:37:56,424 --> 03:37:58,326
recommends the council

6406
03:37:58,326 --> 03:38:00,596
approves. But the facts of our

6407
03:38:00,596 --> 03:38:02,996
current boards and commissions

6408
03:38:04,332 --> 03:38:07,332
don't support that. We have 52

6409
03:38:07,969 --> 03:38:10,969
boards and commissions. And of

6410
03:38:12,674 --> 03:38:14,674
those 50 2.35 Have multiple

6411
03:38:17,479 --> 03:38:18,347
individuals nominating. Or

6412
03:38:18,347 --> 03:38:20,750
appointing, even though we we

6413
03:38:20,750 --> 03:38:23,750
actually come from this body

6414
03:38:24,453 --> 03:38:27,453
does. But 35 of the 52 current

6415
03:38:28,324 --> 03:38:30,226
boards and commissions are at

6416
03:38:30,226 --> 03:38:31,227
least Dooley and in some

6417
03:38:31,227 --> 03:38:33,227
cases, 3 different individuals

6418
03:38:34,197 --> 03:38:34,865
with different organizations.

6419
03:38:34,865 --> 03:38:37,265
Give nominations for those

6420
03:38:39,202 --> 03:38:42,202
boards. Of those boards. The

6421
03:38:46,243 --> 03:38:46,843
mayor appoints. 10 solely. The

6422
03:38:46,843 --> 03:38:48,843
city Council appoints 4

6423
03:38:50,148 --> 03:38:53,748
solely. And the mayor and the

6424
03:38:56,420 --> 03:38:57,989
council appointed jointly 12.

6425
03:38:57,989 --> 03:39:00,989
We're not doing something here

6426
03:39:01,726 --> 03:39:02,426
that I think. Has already been

6427
03:39:02,426 --> 03:39:06,260
down. Obviously it has by the

6428
03:39:08,000 --> 03:39:08,667
numbers. And does that

6429
03:39:08,667 --> 03:39:09,501
diminish someone's power? I

6430
03:39:09,501 --> 03:39:10,202
don't think so. And and from

6431
03:39:10,202 --> 03:39:13,710
my past as inspector general

6432
03:39:13,710 --> 03:39:13,706
and commander many

6433
03:39:13,706 --> 03:39:15,641
organizations, I'm always

6434
03:39:15,641 --> 03:39:17,420
looking for ways to make

6435
03:39:17,420 --> 03:39:18,944
things better. I personally

6436
03:39:18,944 --> 03:39:19,878
believe after doing this

6437
03:39:19,878 --> 03:39:22,247
research looking through this

6438
03:39:22,247 --> 03:39:25,247
and sitting on. The library

6439
03:39:26,319 --> 03:39:27,653
board as a liaison. I believe

6440
03:39:27,653 --> 03:39:29,653
a better representation

6441
03:39:31,690 --> 03:39:32,558
throughout our city. Is

6442
03:39:32,558 --> 03:39:34,594
achieved. When you have

6443
03:39:34,594 --> 03:39:35,728
multiple individuals

6444
03:39:35,728 --> 03:39:38,128
appointing like, for instance,

6445
03:39:38,965 --> 03:39:41,134
Mandarin has somebody really

6446
03:39:41,134 --> 03:39:43,870
would be great on one of these

6447
03:39:43,870 --> 03:39:44,604
boards instead of having one

6448
03:39:44,604 --> 03:39:47,400
person, the administration and

6449
03:39:47,440 --> 03:39:50,343
mayor to go to when there's an

6450
03:39:50,343 --> 03:39:51,444
opening. If this is approved,

6451
03:39:51,444 --> 03:39:52,245
we can go to one of our

6452
03:39:52,245 --> 03:39:54,810
colleagues in this case, our

6453
03:39:54,810 --> 03:39:54,748
colleague council PRESIDENT,

6454
03:39:54,748 --> 03:39:57,748
how or whoever comes after

6455
03:39:59,186 --> 03:40:00,354
him. And I believe having

6456
03:40:00,354 --> 03:40:03,230
those options is a good thing

6457
03:40:03,230 --> 03:40:04,191
and you get into more more

6458
03:40:04,191 --> 03:40:06,600
diverse board makeup by each

6459
03:40:06,600 --> 03:40:08,163
of you in your districts,

6460
03:40:08,163 --> 03:40:10,563
especially being able to

6461
03:40:11,199 --> 03:40:12,800
recruit and bring someone to

6462
03:40:12,800 --> 03:40:13,435
the table to represent your

6463
03:40:13,435 --> 03:40:15,835
your library's new board

6464
03:40:17,438 --> 03:40:20,208
saying on kids so. I just see

6465
03:40:20,208 --> 03:40:20,875
this as as a positive way to

6466
03:40:20,875 --> 03:40:21,943
improve the overall process

6467
03:40:21,943 --> 03:40:22,811
and systems. Thank you, MR.

6468
03:40:22,811 --> 03:40:25,211
PRESIDENT, thank you, sir.

6469
03:40:27,950 --> 03:40:31,550
Over to counsel and I'm. There

6470
03:40:33,856 --> 03:40:34,590
is no one in the queue. We

6471
03:40:34,590 --> 03:40:37,326
have a motion a second to call

6472
03:40:37,326 --> 03:40:40,926
the question. I don't see you

6473
03:40:43,166 --> 03:40:43,933
in there. Yeah, it's doesn't

6474
03:40:43,933 --> 03:40:46,302
matter. It isn't debatable.

6475
03:40:46,302 --> 03:40:47,360
Weather in the queue or The

6476
03:40:47,360 --> 03:40:48,971
question has been called the

6477
03:40:48,971 --> 03:40:50,720
motion to call. The questions

6478
03:40:50,720 --> 03:40:52,242
remain. So we will take this

6479
03:40:52,242 --> 03:40:54,211
vote by hand on calling the

6480
03:40:54,211 --> 03:40:55,279
question all in favor of the

6481
03:40:55,279 --> 03:40:58,279
motion to call the question

6482
03:41:04,955 --> 03:41:05,556
indicate by raising your hand.

6483
03:41:05,556 --> 03:41:06,156
The motion to call the

6484
03:41:06,156 --> 03:41:08,156
question fails. MISTER

6485
03:41:13,297 --> 03:41:14,310
Carlucci recognized.

6486
03:41:14,310 --> 03:41:14,766
>> I suppose by like goes off,

6487
03:41:14,766 --> 03:41:18,966
it just gets tired of being on

6488
03:41:23,975 --> 03:41:26,975
so long. We are co-equal,

6489
03:41:29,447 --> 03:41:30,148
perhaps this council has

6490
03:41:30,148 --> 03:41:32,148
different responsibilities in

6491
03:41:33,485 --> 03:41:36,485
the administration. We are the

6492
03:41:37,523 --> 03:41:38,223
checks and balances. The

6493
03:41:38,223 --> 03:41:41,193
branch that makes most of the

6494
03:41:41,193 --> 03:41:44,193
appointments. We did that one

6495
03:41:45,198 --> 03:41:46,599
time on the library board. We

6496
03:41:46,599 --> 03:41:47,266
did not appoint somebody that

6497
03:41:47,266 --> 03:41:50,202
was up probably should have

6498
03:41:50,202 --> 03:41:53,202
been appointed. I think this

6499
03:41:57,176 --> 03:41:58,145
is. I only know what brought

6500
03:41:58,145 --> 03:41:59,179
this up. I think I do. But I

6501
03:41:59,179 --> 03:42:00,714
don't want to venture into

6502
03:42:00,714 --> 03:42:04,914
that. But this is this is just

6503
03:42:08,422 --> 03:42:12,459
a a problem that came up that

6504
03:42:12,459 --> 03:42:14,859
somebody invented. Decided we

6505
03:42:17,230 --> 03:42:19,630
needed more power. Grab.

6506
03:42:20,501 --> 03:42:23,501
Checks and balances. We're mad

6507
03:42:24,471 --> 03:42:26,541
Sony and type of government.

6508
03:42:26,541 --> 03:42:27,141
We're government were. The

6509
03:42:27,141 --> 03:42:30,741
mayor is a part of the

6510
03:42:30,878 --> 03:42:33,878
council. Mayors on the other

6511
03:42:35,170 --> 03:42:35,717
side of the building,

6512
03:42:35,717 --> 03:42:37,717
administrative executive. We

6513
03:42:39,540 --> 03:42:41,457
are the checks and balances. I

6514
03:42:41,457 --> 03:42:42,124
understand what COUNCILMAN

6515
03:42:42,124 --> 03:42:45,127
Miller said that we do make

6516
03:42:45,127 --> 03:42:46,595
some appointments. But I don't

6517
03:42:46,595 --> 03:42:47,262
think that's reason to

6518
03:42:47,262 --> 03:42:49,662
suddenly start grabbing up

6519
03:42:49,765 --> 03:42:51,200
more. And I think some of

6520
03:42:51,200 --> 03:42:54,200
those appointments are at a

6521
03:42:56,272 --> 03:42:58,700
lesser level. At same time.

6522
03:42:58,700 --> 03:42:59,542
And some of those points are

6523
03:42:59,542 --> 03:43:02,542
opponents of the council made

6524
03:43:03,146 --> 03:43:03,780
in terms of creating certain

6525
03:43:03,780 --> 03:43:06,180
commissions like the true

6526
03:43:10,200 --> 03:43:10,687
commissions so forth. Folks,

6527
03:43:10,687 --> 03:43:12,210
every time we start messing

6528
03:43:12,210 --> 03:43:14,825
with this kind of thing.

6529
03:43:14,825 --> 03:43:17,225
Messing with. Our consolidated

6530
03:43:17,661 --> 03:43:20,610
government. And that's what

6531
03:43:20,163 --> 03:43:23,163
bothers me. We keep chipping

6532
03:43:24,234 --> 03:43:27,237
away at it. This is part of

6533
03:43:27,237 --> 03:43:29,373
some just what it is. Are,

6534
03:43:29,373 --> 03:43:31,408
know, with the votes going to

6535
03:43:31,408 --> 03:43:33,978
But as partisan for for most

6536
03:43:33,978 --> 03:43:34,645
of us, not everybody that

6537
03:43:34,645 --> 03:43:35,312
there's some folks here. I

6538
03:43:35,312 --> 03:43:38,312
think, Jim, with the bully

6539
03:43:39,116 --> 03:43:39,851
that that we should change it.

6540
03:43:39,851 --> 03:43:41,352
But by and large, I think this

6541
03:43:41,352 --> 03:43:44,352
is a partisan effort. For

6542
03:43:47,759 --> 03:43:49,461
grab. What reason what is the

6543
03:43:49,461 --> 03:43:51,861
problem? We're solving here.

6544
03:43:55,266 --> 03:43:57,769
Nothing. And frankly, I think

6545
03:43:57,769 --> 03:43:58,370
many times the mayor's

6546
03:43:58,370 --> 03:43:59,104
position better to make

6547
03:43:59,104 --> 03:44:02,104
appointments to matter who the

6548
03:44:02,240 --> 03:44:04,443
mayor is. Because the mayor

6549
03:44:04,443 --> 03:44:08,430
has a broad reach across this

6550
03:44:08,800 --> 03:44:09,114
community. Just because of the

6551
03:44:09,114 --> 03:44:12,114
executive position that she or

6552
03:44:15,855 --> 03:44:19,258
he holes. Pray that you vote

6553
03:44:19,258 --> 03:44:20,226
to sustain the time.

6554
03:44:20,226 --> 03:44:20,960
>> Thank you, sir. There no

6555
03:44:20,960 --> 03:44:22,462
other a hand, the gavel to the

6556
03:44:22,462 --> 03:44:24,862
vice PRESIDENT. Recognize me,

6557
03:44:28,735 --> 03:44:29,969
sir. Council, PRESIDENT Allen,

6558
03:44:29,969 --> 03:44:30,737
you're recognized. Thank you,

6559
03:44:30,737 --> 03:44:32,339
MR. Vice-PRESIDENT I did not

6560
03:44:32,339 --> 03:44:33,730
get a chance to vote on this

6561
03:44:33,730 --> 03:44:35,700
bill in committee when it went

6562
03:44:35,700 --> 03:44:35,808
through because I was only on

6563
03:44:35,808 --> 03:44:37,644
finance committee and this

6564
03:44:37,644 --> 03:44:40,440
went through neighborhoods and

6565
03:44:40,747 --> 03:44:42,549
rules. I would have voted yes.

6566
03:44:42,549 --> 03:44:43,317
Been all vote. Yes. Tonight,

6567
03:44:43,317 --> 03:44:44,170
handful of reasons like

6568
03:44:44,170 --> 03:44:44,918
counsel Mueller said I don't

6569
03:44:44,918 --> 03:44:47,318
think it's unprecedented. I

6570
03:44:48,789 --> 03:44:49,690
don't think it's unreasonable

6571
03:44:49,690 --> 03:44:50,624
COUNCILMAN Lane and said I

6572
03:44:50,624 --> 03:44:51,558
think we have an opportunity

6573
03:44:51,558 --> 03:44:52,259
to exert more control on a

6574
03:44:52,259 --> 03:44:53,193
large chunk of the operating

6575
03:44:53,193 --> 03:44:53,593
budget. And then finally, as

6576
03:44:53,593 --> 03:44:55,593
COUNCILMAN.

6577
03:44:55,663 --> 03:44:57,663
>> Salem said. Emphasizing

6578
03:44:59,733 --> 03:45:00,668
that it's not unreasonable,

6579
03:45:00,668 --> 03:45:01,302
you see is ruled. It's

6580
03:45:01,302 --> 03:45:02,103
allowable. The executive

6581
03:45:02,103 --> 03:45:05,103
branch maintains a majority on

6582
03:45:05,206 --> 03:45:06,907
both of these boards and we

6583
03:45:06,907 --> 03:45:09,770
only get to nominate one as

6584
03:45:09,770 --> 03:45:12,770
someone rolls off. So with

6585
03:45:23,391 --> 03:45:24,590
estimate, thanks. COUNCILMAN

6586
03:45:24,590 --> 03:45:24,659
Freeman, you're recognized

6587
03:45:24,659 --> 03:45:27,590
followed by council in

6588
03:45:32,567 --> 03:45:33,268
Carrick. Thank you, MR.

6589
03:45:33,268 --> 03:45:36,104
PRESIDENT and I really wanted

6590
03:45:36,104 --> 03:45:36,939
to hear my colleagues speak on

6591
03:45:36,939 --> 03:45:37,606
this one.

6592
03:45:37,606 --> 03:45:39,141
>> If anybody knows me, you

6593
03:45:39,141 --> 03:45:39,908
know that I love serving kids

6594
03:45:39,908 --> 03:45:42,378
and that is the reason solely

6595
03:45:42,378 --> 03:45:43,780
that I am sitting in this seat

6596
03:45:43,780 --> 03:45:45,140
and we'll continue to try to

6597
03:45:45,140 --> 03:45:46,480
pursue the efforts to make his

6598
03:45:46,480 --> 03:45:46,782
last better. But there are few

6599
03:45:46,782 --> 03:45:49,919
things that I do want to share

6600
03:45:49,919 --> 03:45:51,687
regarding this bill. One I

6601
03:45:51,687 --> 03:45:52,955
heard we talk about the growth

6602
03:45:52,955 --> 03:45:56,793
of kj. I know that I'm guilty

6603
03:45:56,793 --> 03:45:57,493
as a council person of.

6604
03:45:57,493 --> 03:45:59,295
Putting forward what I think

6605
03:45:59,295 --> 03:46:02,895
is good policy that lands in

6606
03:46:03,265 --> 03:46:04,660
the lap of kj. And so I think

6607
03:46:04,660 --> 03:46:04,968
that their budget sometimes

6608
03:46:04,968 --> 03:46:05,702
seems to grow because of the

6609
03:46:05,702 --> 03:46:09,902
work, the good work that we do

6610
03:46:10,206 --> 03:46:10,907
as a body. I did serve on the

6611
03:46:10,907 --> 03:46:12,742
cage a board and I was one of

6612
03:46:12,742 --> 03:46:14,544
the original members of the

6613
03:46:14,544 --> 03:46:16,544
Jacksonville Journey Oversight

6614
03:46:16,747 --> 03:46:17,481
Committee. That's what it was

6615
03:46:17,481 --> 03:46:21,810
originally an at that time. It

6616
03:46:21,785 --> 03:46:24,421
was council member Ronnie. Who

6617
03:46:24,421 --> 03:46:27,421
appointed That was back in

6618
03:46:29,727 --> 03:46:30,694
2008. Prior to the change.

6619
03:46:30,694 --> 03:46:31,328
When I came on the council

6620
03:46:31,328 --> 03:46:32,280
shortly when the last the

6621
03:46:32,280 --> 03:46:35,266
class before came on and they

6622
03:46:35,266 --> 03:46:36,000
switch to kj. But I do want to

6623
03:46:36,000 --> 03:46:39,336
share this. I don't think this

6624
03:46:39,336 --> 03:46:40,370
is partisan. And I don't make

6625
03:46:40,370 --> 03:46:41,706
my decisions. We kids based

6626
03:46:41,706 --> 03:46:42,339
off of a party affiliation. I

6627
03:46:42,339 --> 03:46:44,339
understand what party

6628
03:46:44,575 --> 03:46:45,309
affiliation lies in the U.S. I

6629
03:46:45,309 --> 03:46:47,712
based everything off of common

6630
03:46:47,712 --> 03:46:50,415
sense. I base it off of what

6631
03:46:50,415 --> 03:46:50,981
damage is going to be done and

6632
03:46:50,981 --> 03:46:52,417
warehouse is going to

6633
03:46:52,417 --> 03:46:54,817
negatively impact kids and

6634
03:46:56,354 --> 03:46:57,220
I've done nothing but listen.

6635
03:46:57,220 --> 03:46:57,723
I've talked to the board. I

6636
03:46:57,723 --> 03:46:59,424
feel like I'm a good liaison.

6637
03:46:59,424 --> 03:47:00,570
I listen. I asked they're not

6638
03:47:00,570 --> 03:47:01,590
supportive of this and I

6639
03:47:01,590 --> 03:47:04,590
respect their opinion. Many of

6640
03:47:05,363 --> 03:47:06,650
them. I appointed. But at the

6641
03:47:06,650 --> 03:47:06,799
end of the day, what's

6642
03:47:06,799 --> 03:47:08,367
important to me is that we get

6643
03:47:08,367 --> 03:47:11,967
people on there. Who truly see

6644
03:47:11,970 --> 03:47:12,704
that our futures or walking

6645
03:47:12,704 --> 03:47:13,371
the streets and sit classrooms

6646
03:47:13,371 --> 03:47:15,607
right now. Our workforce is

6647
03:47:15,607 --> 03:47:16,309
sitting there. What I think is

6648
03:47:16,309 --> 03:47:18,709
ultimately important and this

6649
03:47:19,440 --> 03:47:20,178
is where I would land. Is. I

6650
03:47:20,178 --> 03:47:21,113
look at how we as council

6651
03:47:21,113 --> 03:47:21,847
members have been treated,

6652
03:47:21,847 --> 03:47:24,847
least this council person over

6653
03:47:25,618 --> 03:47:26,519
the last year. And if I get a

6654
03:47:26,519 --> 03:47:31,319
chance now to try to give us a

6655
03:47:31,324 --> 03:47:32,240
voice. Not one of you all can

6656
03:47:32,240 --> 03:47:34,193
sit up here and say that you

6657
03:47:34,193 --> 03:47:35,595
didn't see $200,000 for a

6658
03:47:35,595 --> 03:47:36,329
whole year. Get moved from one

6659
03:47:36,329 --> 03:47:38,764
committee to the next. Not one

6660
03:47:38,764 --> 03:47:39,498
of you sitting up here. Can

6661
03:47:39,498 --> 03:47:42,168
say that you did not hear them

6662
03:47:42,168 --> 03:47:44,168
say. Appropriate. They

6663
03:47:45,638 --> 03:47:48,380
execute. So there's an

6664
03:47:48,408 --> 03:47:50,510
opportunity for me. To have a

6665
03:47:50,510 --> 03:47:51,678
say in what happens with kids

6666
03:47:51,678 --> 03:47:54,678
based on how I've been

6667
03:47:56,149 --> 03:47:57,500
treated. I'm sorry. I feel

6668
03:47:57,500 --> 03:47:57,751
like I'm going to support this

6669
03:47:57,751 --> 03:47:59,787
supporting it because I want

6670
03:47:59,787 --> 03:48:03,387
to help kids. Because my voice

6671
03:48:04,457 --> 03:48:05,193
has been silenced for year.

6672
03:48:05,193 --> 03:48:09,129
And this is a chance for me to

6673
03:48:09,129 --> 03:48:10,964
speak. Thank you. Thank you,

6674
03:48:10,964 --> 03:48:12,199
MR. Freeman, we Mark Erica.

6675
03:48:12,199 --> 03:48:15,199
>> Followed by Mr Areas and

6676
03:48:15,403 --> 03:48:16,637
then Dr Sailing for the second

6677
03:48:16,637 --> 03:48:19,140
time. Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT

6678
03:48:19,140 --> 03:48:20,308
didn't mean to jump in after

6679
03:48:20,308 --> 03:48:22,410
you kind of blinking in the in

6680
03:48:22,410 --> 03:48:23,411
the but I'll be brief, support

6681
03:48:23,411 --> 03:48:24,479
this in committee all

6682
03:48:24,479 --> 03:48:25,113
supported today. But what I

6683
03:48:25,113 --> 03:48:26,614
really want to do is just

6684
03:48:26,614 --> 03:48:27,582
acknowledge and thank Dr

6685
03:48:27,582 --> 03:48:28,750
Christner.

6686
03:48:28,750 --> 03:48:30,685
>> Who has been sitting in

6687
03:48:30,685 --> 03:48:31,386
this audience numerous times

6688
03:48:31,386 --> 03:48:33,956
following this bill and spent

6689
03:48:33,956 --> 03:48:34,856
hours and hours and hours with

6690
03:48:34,856 --> 03:48:38,456
us. As you know, service at

6691
03:48:38,660 --> 03:48:40,662
the Duval County School Board

6692
03:48:40,662 --> 03:48:42,965
school system and stepped in

6693
03:48:42,965 --> 03:48:43,865
as the interim ceo of Cage. A

6694
03:48:43,865 --> 03:48:44,533
job well done. I know they've

6695
03:48:44,533 --> 03:48:45,234
found a replacement sides.

6696
03:48:45,234 --> 03:48:47,503
Want to thank you for hanging

6697
03:48:47,503 --> 03:48:48,237
in there and showing up and

6698
03:48:48,237 --> 03:48:48,937
represent for kj and for kids.

6699
03:48:48,937 --> 03:48:49,638
Some. Thank you for that. And

6700
03:48:49,638 --> 03:48:52,241
I do support this and I hope

6701
03:48:52,241 --> 03:48:55,111
that you all will too. Thank

6702
03:48:55,111 --> 03:48:55,845
you, Sir. Council variance.

6703
03:48:55,845 --> 03:48:56,478
Thank you, MR. PRESIDENT I was

6704
03:48:56,478 --> 03:48:58,130
its peak, but I just, you

6705
03:48:58,130 --> 03:48:58,347
know, my colleagues, I just

6706
03:48:58,347 --> 03:49:00,347
think.

6707
03:49:00,983 --> 03:49:02,151
>> I want speak. So here's the

6708
03:49:02,151 --> 03:49:04,190
thing. The thing about it is

6709
03:49:04,190 --> 03:49:05,621
not broken. Why fix That

6710
03:49:05,621 --> 03:49:08,210
doesn't mean anything because

6711
03:49:08,224 --> 03:49:09,159
realistically people out there

6712
03:49:09,159 --> 03:49:12,159
just and business people and

6713
03:49:12,195 --> 03:49:12,829
business just the ball. And

6714
03:49:12,829 --> 03:49:16,199
this is us evolving as a

6715
03:49:16,199 --> 03:49:17,634
government body of the city.

6716
03:49:17,634 --> 03:49:18,334
You know, we represent

6717
03:49:18,334 --> 03:49:19,360
different districts are some

6718
03:49:19,360 --> 03:49:19,902
district members. But at the

6719
03:49:19,902 --> 03:49:22,205
end, they we still have a

6720
03:49:22,205 --> 03:49:25,308
voice. And the way I see is

6721
03:49:25,308 --> 03:49:25,976
be, you know, United the city.

6722
03:49:25,976 --> 03:49:26,676
>> We're a team sport here.

6723
03:49:26,676 --> 03:49:28,479
The mayor has appointment. We

6724
03:49:28,479 --> 03:49:29,913
have our appointment.

6725
03:49:29,913 --> 03:49:30,547
Hopefully and I don't see

6726
03:49:30,547 --> 03:49:31,281
anything wrong because we

6727
03:49:31,281 --> 03:49:33,650
boards and commissions that we

6728
03:49:33,650 --> 03:49:34,852
also point to and there's

6729
03:49:34,852 --> 03:49:35,552
nothing wrong with it. So

6730
03:49:35,552 --> 03:49:36,219
nothing will change your. The

6731
03:49:36,219 --> 03:49:39,219
only thing that changes the

6732
03:49:39,690 --> 03:49:40,625
fight that these boards for

6733
03:49:40,625 --> 03:49:42,460
the longest part have been

6734
03:49:42,460 --> 03:49:43,194
coined by mayor and obviously

6735
03:49:43,194 --> 03:49:46,794
kept the whole other points to

6736
03:49:46,797 --> 03:49:47,531
themselves. But at this point,

6737
03:49:47,531 --> 03:49:48,232
I guess that I just think that

6738
03:49:48,232 --> 03:49:50,668
it makes sense for all of us

6739
03:49:50,668 --> 03:49:52,200
just worked together as a city

6740
03:49:52,200 --> 03:49:53,571
and the council and the mayor

6741
03:49:53,571 --> 03:49:54,271
as well to to just work

6742
03:49:54,271 --> 03:49:55,273
together and have appointment

6743
03:49:55,273 --> 03:49:57,108
at the end. They she still has

6744
03:49:57,108 --> 03:49:59,811
more point than that. We do

6745
03:49:59,811 --> 03:50:00,511
anyways. So I'll be supporting

6746
03:50:00,511 --> 03:50:03,348
this bill and not to be Thank

6747
03:50:03,348 --> 03:50:06,948
you. Thank you, sir. Back to

6748
03:50:06,951 --> 03:50:09,351
Doctor Salem. Second time. 2

6749
03:50:10,755 --> 03:50:11,790
quick points.

6750
03:50:11,790 --> 03:50:14,920
>> Who do you want making some

6751
03:50:14,920 --> 03:50:17,920
of these appointments? Do you

6752
03:50:18,300 --> 03:50:19,131
want Randy White as PRESIDENT?

6753
03:50:19,131 --> 03:50:22,731
You want Ron as PRESIDENT, do

6754
03:50:23,502 --> 03:50:24,303
you want? PRESIDENT Howland

6755
03:50:24,303 --> 03:50:26,703
making some of these

6756
03:50:28,641 --> 03:50:29,608
appointments? I do. I think

6757
03:50:29,608 --> 03:50:31,477
they have a different view of

6758
03:50:31,477 --> 03:50:34,460
this government and what can

6759
03:50:34,460 --> 03:50:34,747
be done. And I want their

6760
03:50:34,747 --> 03:50:36,747
diversity making appointments

6761
03:50:38,651 --> 03:50:42,251
to these boards. I made the

6762
03:50:42,488 --> 03:50:44,424
commitment that I am not going

6763
03:50:44,424 --> 03:50:45,124
beyond these 2 boards. I think

6764
03:50:45,124 --> 03:50:47,460
these 2 are substantial. They

6765
03:50:47,460 --> 03:50:48,127
got huge budgets. And I think

6766
03:50:48,127 --> 03:50:51,127
it's important that we have

6767
03:50:51,798 --> 03:50:52,832
diversity. And the other point

6768
03:50:52,832 --> 03:50:54,701
that I I keep hearing is

6769
03:50:54,701 --> 03:50:56,937
there's nothing wrong. Why

6770
03:50:56,937 --> 03:50:59,337
change it? We write

6771
03:50:59,472 --> 03:51:00,140
legislation all the time to

6772
03:51:00,140 --> 03:51:01,541
improve specific ordinances

6773
03:51:01,541 --> 03:51:03,541
are already there.

6774
03:51:05,579 --> 03:51:06,246
>> Why are we here? If we're

6775
03:51:06,246 --> 03:51:08,646
not writing legislation to

6776
03:51:08,849 --> 03:51:11,849
improve things? That's what I

6777
03:51:12,553 --> 03:51:14,822
think this does. It adds

6778
03:51:14,822 --> 03:51:17,222
diversity of appointments to

6779
03:51:18,459 --> 03:51:19,360
these boards. D was set up

6780
03:51:19,360 --> 03:51:20,610
this way. Nothing's nothing's

6781
03:51:20,610 --> 03:51:24,261
going wrong at bia as we make

6782
03:51:25,733 --> 03:51:26,901
appointments. I know people

6783
03:51:26,901 --> 03:51:27,602
want to make this partisan.

6784
03:51:27,602 --> 03:51:30,602
I've been working on this

6785
03:51:31,639 --> 03:51:34,639
since late last year. Believe

6786
03:51:35,677 --> 03:51:36,378
55 years was right. And we

6787
03:51:36,378 --> 03:51:38,778
finally convince this general

6788
03:51:38,880 --> 03:51:39,548
counsel that that's the case.

6789
03:51:39,548 --> 03:51:42,617
And I thought this was the

6790
03:51:42,617 --> 03:51:44,686
place to do it. So vote your

6791
03:51:44,686 --> 03:51:45,854
conscience. Thank you, MR.

6792
03:51:45,854 --> 03:51:46,521
PRESIDENT. Thank you, sir. And

6793
03:51:46,521 --> 03:51:47,756
final speaker in the queue

6794
03:51:47,756 --> 03:51:49,756
COUNCILMAN Pollution. Thank

6795
03:51:51,660 --> 03:51:52,394
you, MR. PRESIDENT if Council

6796
03:51:52,394 --> 03:51:53,950
or Salem speaks a second time,

6797
03:51:53,950 --> 03:51:53,762
I might as well and I wasn't

6798
03:51:53,762 --> 03:51:54,463
really gonna speak much on

6799
03:51:54,463 --> 03:51:54,763
this Surprise. We talked this

6800
03:51:54,763 --> 03:51:56,763
long.

6801
03:51:57,333 --> 03:52:00,402
>> This is so stupid. Read the

6802
03:52:00,402 --> 03:52:03,939
charter. We have a lot of

6803
03:52:03,939 --> 03:52:06,342
power. We have the power to

6804
03:52:06,342 --> 03:52:07,676
vote down and appointee. It's

6805
03:52:07,676 --> 03:52:10,676
happened before by this body.

6806
03:52:11,113 --> 03:52:14,713
We have power. It exists know

6807
03:52:15,118 --> 03:52:16,786
that this process is. Don't

6808
03:52:16,786 --> 03:52:17,520
don't say whether it's

6809
03:52:17,520 --> 03:52:18,154
partisan and this is clearly

6810
03:52:18,154 --> 03:52:21,391
is kj was created by the

6811
03:52:21,391 --> 03:52:22,626
former. Mayor, the city. No

6812
03:52:22,626 --> 03:52:23,326
one said a word about the

6813
03:52:23,326 --> 03:52:24,895
appointments. All of a sudden

6814
03:52:24,895 --> 03:52:27,264
now they do. It's just it's

6815
03:52:27,264 --> 03:52:27,998
just bizarre to me. Let's vote

6816
03:52:27,998 --> 03:52:31,598
this. No, let's go home. Thank

6817
03:52:32,602 --> 03:52:33,537
you. All right. Thank you,

6818
03:52:33,537 --> 03:52:34,805
sir. One more time to Would

6819
03:52:34,805 --> 03:52:37,274
you please explain the vote?

6820
03:52:37,274 --> 03:52:37,941
What yes means what means.

6821
03:52:37,941 --> 03:52:39,776
>> Of course, MR. PRESIDENT

6822
03:52:39,776 --> 03:52:40,511
through the PRESIDENT To the

6823
03:52:40,511 --> 03:52:43,647
council. So if you pressed the

6824
03:52:43,647 --> 03:52:44,682
greener, yes, button, you are

6825
03:52:44,682 --> 03:52:47,682
voting to override the mayor's

6826
03:52:47,952 --> 03:52:48,986
veto and approve ordinance

6827
03:52:48,986 --> 03:52:51,986
2025 8.72 If you vote the red

6828
03:52:52,890 --> 03:52:52,857
button or no button, it is a

6829
03:52:52,857 --> 03:52:55,857

MR. PRESIDENT with 18

override fails. 25 0, 8, 7, 2,

6840
03:53:34,990 --> 03:53:34,733

6842
03:53:35,401 --> 03:53:36,301

First, MISS Brenda Smith sent

6854
03:54:17,478 --> 03:54:18,145
out the budget hearing

6855
03:54:18,145 --> 03:54:21,145
schedule. So make sure you

6856
03:54:21,381 --> 03:54:22,416
look at that and we look to

6857
03:54:22,416 --> 03:54:23,117
have you join us at this

6858
03:54:23,117 --> 03:54:25,319

03:54:31,590 --> 03:54:32,527
announcement. I would like to

6865
03:54:32,527 --> 03:54:33,261
apologize for use of the word

6866
03:54:33,261 --> 03:54:33,961
stupid. I don't want people to

6867
03:54:33,961 --> 03:54:35,129
think that I was calling any

6868
03:54:35,129 --> 03:54:36,564
of these council members to.

6869
03:54:36,564 --> 03:54:37,298
But I was talking about this

6870
03:54:37,298 --> 03:54:38,332
process in which we were going

6871
03:54:38,332 --> 03:54:38,967
through because I don't

6872
03:54:38,967 --> 03:54:40,135
believe allowed to do the

6873
03:54:40,135 --> 03:54:40,569
voted the veto the way we did

6874
03:54:40,569 --> 03:54:41,603
this evening.

6875
03:54:41,603 --> 03:54:43,972
>> So this is not me calling

6876
03:54:43,972 --> 03:54:45,907
up councilmember Stupid. Thank

6877
03:54:45,907 --> 03:54:46,541
you. Thank you for that

6878
03:54:46,541 --> 03:54:48,941
apology, MR. Carlucci, a

6879
03:54:52,380 --> 03:54:53,315
metallurgy recognized.

6880
03:54:53,315 --> 03:54:54,150
>> Thank I thought happier

6881
03:54:54,150 --> 03:54:55,550
note, I might remind some of

6882
03:54:55,550 --> 03:54:59,150
those who do Bob Johnson, but

6883
03:54:59,321 --> 03:54:59,988
yesterday was his birthday and

6884
03:54:59,988 --> 03:55:01,560

6886
03:55:01,791 --> 03:55:05,391
chance to send him a text

6887
03:55:05,994 --> 03:55:08,630
issue well, you might want to

6888
03:55:08,630 --> 03:55:09,831
do that. I spoke with him at

6889
03:55:09,831 --> 03:55:10,766
length yesterday and he and

6890
03:55:10,766 --> 03:55:14,366
his family went out to dinner

6891
03:55:14,503 --> 03:55:16,720
last night and had a good time

6892
03:55:16,720 --> 03:55:16,772

6893
03:55:16,772 --> 03:55:18,874

6894
03:55:18,874 --> 03:55:20,176
times, but it keeps on taking.

6895
03:55:20,176 --> 03:55:23,313
And we just had a great time

6896
03:55:23,313 --> 03:55:24,447

6897
03:55:24,447 --> 03:55:25,148

6932
03:57:01,881 --> 03:57:02,582
stand 2 things. First of all,

6933
03:57:02,582 --> 03:57:05,819
I want to celebrate the life

6934
03:57:05,819 --> 03:57:06,519
and times of Billy Plumber

6935
03:57:06,519 --> 03:57:07,253
make a bigger Rankins. He was

6936
03:57:07,253 --> 03:57:10,253
an amazing community member of

6937
03:57:10,657 --> 03:57:11,692
this council passed resolution

6938
03:57:11,692 --> 03:57:12,525
honoring 30 years of service.

6939
03:57:12,525 --> 03:57:16,163
I was scheduled to give it to

6940
03:57:16,163 --> 03:57:16,897
him on AUGUST 18 at a

6941
03:57:16,897 --> 03:57:17,397
community bookbag giveaway. He

6942
03:57:17,397 --> 03:57:18,965
was giving away.

6943
03:57:18,965 --> 03:57:20,433
Unfortunately, he lost his

6944
03:57:20,433 --> 03:57:21,368
battle with kidney disease

6945
03:57:21,368 --> 03:57:24,671

03:57:24,671 --> 03:57:27,641
be funeral lives. So one time

6947
03:57:27,641 --> 03:57:28,842
for Billy Plumber run it by

6948
03:57:28,842 --> 03:57:29,777
select back and last but not

6949
03:57:29,777 --> 03:57:30,611
least I want to recognize a

6950
03:57:30,611 --> 03:57:32,847
former member of this most a

6951
03:57:32,847 --> 03:57:34,515
gust body and my dear friend

6952
03:57:34,515 --> 03:57:35,249
and one of the reasons I

6953
03:57:35,249 --> 03:57:37,251
became the size can matter, of

6954
03:57:37,251 --> 03:57:38,119
course, enjoys Morgan, an

6955
03:57:38,119 --> 03:57:41,220
anchor reporter. And that is

6956
03:57:41,220 --> 03:57:43,725
Harry s Reagan. Harry Regan

6957
03:57:43,725 --> 03:57:45,694
was certainly an amazing

6958
03:57:45,694 --> 03:57:47,962
community leader. He was 87

6959
03:57:47,962 --> 03:57:48,763
years old. He served this

6960
03:57:48,763 --> 03:57:50,899
council with integrity. I

6961
03:57:50,899 --> 03:57:51,766
remember as a young man

6962
03:57:51,766 --> 03:57:53,340
watching him nightly on the

6963
03:57:53,340 --> 03:57:54,502
news after the news, he would

6964
03:57:54,502 --> 03:57:55,636
come on and give those

6965
03:57:55,636 --> 03:57:56,305
wonderful editorials. And he

6966
03:57:56,305 --> 03:57:58,106
was just as genteel and

6967
03:57:58,106 --> 03:58:00,420
amazing when he came on this

6968
03:58:00,420 --> 03:58:00,776
council, his wife, Rita and my

6969
03:58:00,776 --> 03:58:03,776
mother, would your friends and

6970

03:58:11,200 --> 03:58:11,653
thing. So I want to tell you

6976
03:58:11,653 --> 03:58:12,387
from the family of heavy

6977
03:58:12,387 --> 03:58:14,356
Reagan, as you see, there is a

6978
03:58:14,356 --> 03:58:15,157
resolution honoring his life.

6979
03:58:15,157 --> 03:58:17,260
His celebration of life will

6980
03:58:17,260 --> 03:58:20,626
be on Sunday AUGUST 16th from

6981
03:58:20,997 --> 03:58:22,331

6985
03:58:26,469 --> 03:58:27,169
let us remember one of our

03:58:27,169 --> 03:58:28,805
most esteemed members, Harry

6989
03:58:32,575 --> 03:58:35,545
will never ask how long. I

6990
03:58:35,545 --> 03:58:36,245
mean.

6991
03:58:36,245 --> 03:58:38,248
>> He is in the days and this

03:58:38,248 --> 03:58:41,451
guy with the Lord. You know,

6993
03:58:41,451 --> 03:58:42,218
you're listening to history

6994
03:58:42,218 --> 03:58:45,818
will never ask where he is.

6995
03:58:47,290 --> 03:58:48,525
He's going on. History will

6996
03:58:48,525 --> 03:58:49,226
never ask how long our

6997
03:58:49,226 --> 03:58:50,360
meetings lasted will ask

6998
03:58:50,360 --> 03:58:52,760
whether our service expanded

6999
03:58:52,896 --> 03:58:53,730
opportunity protected dignity.

7000
03:58:53,730 --> 03:58:54,364
>> And left the city more

7001
03:58:54,364 --> 03:58:56,133
hopeful than we found it.

of coming together. We MAY not

7005
03:59:01,305 --> 03:59:02,773
all agree, but what we can

7006
03:59:02,773 --> 03:59:03,775
certainly agree on is that

7007
03:59:03,775 --> 03:59:05,610
this city, the place that

7008
03:59:05,610 --> 03:59:06,310

7013
03:59:13,184 --> 03:59:16,288
we do continues to expand this

7014
03:59:16,288 --> 03:59:16,955
city and a great way to not

7015
03:59:16,955 --> 03:59:18,156
just attract people to take

7016
03:59:18,156 --> 03:59:21,590
the people that are here and

7017
03:59:21,590 --> 03:59:21,960
nurture them and care for them

7018
03:59:21,960 --> 03:59:22,661
so that our neighbors and

7019
03:59:22,661 --> 03:59:24,896
community build and show the

7020
03:59:24,896 --> 03:59:26,964
world just how wonderful I'd

7021
03:59:26,964 --> 03:59:28,266
only we are, but that we can

7022
03:59:28,266 --> 03:59:28,967
be. Thank you for these

7023
03:59:28,967 --> 03:59:30,602
blessings. Please touch those

7024
03:59:30,602 --> 03:59:34,202
members who are not here, keep

7025
03:59:34,239 --> 03:59:35,600
them safe and bring them back.

7026
03:59:35,600 --> 03:59:35,707
These and all the blessings.

7027
03:59:35,707 --> 03:59:36,841
We asking the father, the son

7028
03:59:36,841 --> 03:59:39,841
and the Holy spirit. Amen.

7029
03:59:41,480 --> 03:59:42,480
Amen. Thank you all for your

7030
03:59:42,480 --> 03:59:43,182
service to the city tonight to

7031
03:59:43,182 --> 03:59:44,317
my colleagues and Never safe

7032
03:59:44,317 --> 03:59:46,317
drive home.

7033
03:59:59,432 --> 04:00:01,432
>> If it.

7034
04:03:06,891 --> 04:03:09,291
>> This city Jacksonville. Not

7035
04:03:12,163 --> 04:03:13,599
for recognition. Well,

7036
04:03:13,599 --> 04:03:14,266
responsibility and park to

7037
04:03:14,266 --> 04:03:16,666
where artists stands tall,

7038
04:03:17,202 --> 04:03:18,136
where mere is up along with

7039
04:03:18,136 --> 04:03:18,804
with access. You see she

7040
04:03:18,804 --> 04:03:21,204
didn't just decided she

7041
04:03:23,241 --> 04:03:26,278
created a rival. This is on

7042
04:03:26,278 --> 04:03:27,212
Waugh they're keen do when

7043
04:03:27,212 --> 04:03:30,212
building or to go observing

7044
04:03:30,950 --> 04:03:31,650
Moncrief moving south side,

7045
04:03:31,650 --> 04:03:32,217
stretching beach is breathing

7046
04:03:32,217 --> 04:03:34,419
a city alive in every

7047
04:03:34,419 --> 04:03:37,122
direction at once. Not like

7048
04:03:37,122 --> 04:03:38,791
despite darkness, light

7049
04:03:38,791 --> 04:03:39,925
because we understand the

7050
04:03:39,925 --> 04:03:42,925
light. So tonight we honor

7051
04:03:45,640 --> 04:03:46,198
more than names. We ignition

7052
04:03:46,198 --> 04:03:47,666
and intention. We honor those

7053
04:03:47,666 --> 04:03:48,333
who leave brilliance lingering

7054
04:03:48,333 --> 04:03:51,333
long after they've left the

7055
04:03:54,440 --> 04:03:55,842
road. Look what you've done. A

7056
04:03:55,842 --> 04:03:58,478
city that learned how to blow

7057
04:03:58,478 --> 04:04:00,747
on command early on. See that

7058
04:04:00,747 --> 04:04:03,147
decided the darkness would

7059
04:04:04,216 --> 04:04:04,950
never have a foothold here.

7060
04:04:04,950 --> 04:04:06,000
That darkness would never have
