[1:35] You [1:46] need to hear by, we're here for a city council workshop to interview board applicants Wednesday, August 5, [2:06] 2026, [2:07] We'll just ask you a couple of questions at the end of that. [2:12] We don't make the decision at this meeting, we make the decision after our regular meeting, [2:17] but you do not have to stay for the whole regular meeting of all of that work, exactly. [2:22] And so with that, let's get started, shall we come on up? [2:31] So just start by just tell us a little bit about yourself. [2:34] So, first of all, my name is Shelby Bwardboe, nice to meet you all. [2:39] I have been a lifelong native to satellite each, and my father actually grew up here as well. [2:46] So, if that's a long-standing roots in the area, I just had my own son, my very first son, about a year ago in April. [2:54] And it's been so important for each model, [2:59] giving back to our community and being active and involved, [3:02] which is something that my own mother can work, [3:05] though, has them for mindful life too. [3:07] So when I saw the opening for the library board, [3:10] I thought that would be a great start. [3:12] Perfect. [3:13] All right. [3:14] Join me. [3:15] Oh, I don't really have any questions for you. [3:17] I just, as a young professional and a new mom, [3:20] I think it's fantastic that you want to, [3:22] you know, give up occasional time to the city and get more involved in that way. [3:27] So thank you. [3:29] All right. [3:30] I like that. [3:31] Just reading your qualifications and experience. [3:33] You have this continuous flow of being involved. [3:37] Student leadership. [3:39] Ocean Rescue. [3:42] And health and safety specialist means you are communicating with people. [3:47] You're talking to people. [3:48] You're doing things, which is a wonderful thing to see. [3:51] And the library board is what you were looking for, I believe, that right. [3:56] And it advises an assist library staff on program services and issues affecting satellite beach public library. [4:04] That was good. [4:05] It meets the first Tuesday of every other month. [4:09] So that means you'll be in cadence, come September, and it meets over in the library. [4:13] That's six p.m. [4:14] Yep. [4:15] Okay. [4:16] So far we're sounding good. [4:18] Excellent, anything you want to add? [4:22] I don't know. I don't think so. I guess I do have a question if the board ever communicates [4:30] outside of that bi-monthing meeting, if they do like a group chat or email chain or some other kind of discussion for [4:36] or if the monthly bi-monthing meeting. [4:38] Well, I have the bi-monthing meeting. Sometimes they'll, I mean, they're going to set out minutes ahead of the next [4:45] coming meeting, sometimes they'll just ask, here's what we're usually at the meeting, [4:51] they'll ask things like, we're thinking about some kind of projects coming up or we're [4:54] going to have a book sale come up or we're going to have this and they'll just kind of get [4:58] your take forward or if you come up with something. But most of that you will interact just [5:05] with the secretary or through media or through Gwen and things out there. But they'll push [5:12] information to you. I'm the liaison to that board, so we meet in the library. To me it's [5:19] very interesting board. People are really into the library and books and stuff like that. [5:24] We usually talk a lot about that type of stuff. Friends of the library are very active. [5:30] They raise a lot of money with books, sales, they use books, sales, and they buy stuff. [5:35] For the library, even that room that we'll be in, you'll see the tables and chairs and all that [5:39] that was basically bot and donated by them. So they'll talk about the programs and stuff [5:44] that's coming up. They may, when we have things like founders day or something like that, [5:49] they may set up a booth. I think they did that. I think when you're from the Christmas, [5:55] two miles or something like that, I think they said to start at the library, they had a booth [5:59] kind of set up their pass out information and stuff. So it's pretty good for that. Steve, [6:04] you got it? Do you happen to have any goals that you would like to see for the [6:08] or achievements for the library that you would like to see specifically. [6:15] This time, unfortunately, we do not have a good answer for that question. [6:18] But I will say that I am very excited to bring my son to participate in a lot more of these events and things now. [6:26] Okay. [6:27] I think you would like that, and I think, yes, the kid sections always are. [6:32] Very popular thing there. [6:33] the summer programs are very popular that go on at the library. [6:39] So that's really all the questions and stuff that we have. [6:42] Again, like I said, we make the decision at the end of our regular meeting [6:46] and then they'll notify you and let you know. [6:50] Other than that, that's it. [6:52] Well, thank you guys so much. [6:53] This has been a pleasure and much less stressful. [6:56] Thank you. [6:58] Thank you guys very much. [6:59] Thank you. [7:03] We don't like, we don't like stress, so we can do without that. [7:09] No, we have a partner. [7:10] Yes. [7:11] Hopefully, you saw how it was done. [7:14] It's kind of easy. [7:15] Just come right up there to the table there. [7:19] And again, let's just start by just just tell us a little bit about yourself. [7:24] Hello. [7:25] My name is Oakley. [7:27] I have been living here for around like... [7:40] What was it like to be during the council? [7:48] I'm sorry. Okay, I am back. Well, Mr. and Toma Lumber. I'm the board liaison for the council. [7:56] And so it is a group. Right now all of them are satellite high students. You probably know some of them. [8:03] Somebody came to the screen, came to the screen as well as on there. [8:08] But I love your first benefit, to be fair. [8:10] Sadly, age is pretty perfect, and I want to help keep it away. [8:13] I love that sentence. [8:18] Depending upon what the group comes up with, [8:20] they can be creative. [8:20] I know at the end of last year, the students who are returning, [8:24] they wanted to do some kind of student, [8:26] even the shooters are about something that they're working on. [8:29] But also just to be kind of a use ambassador [8:33] of the city, know what's going on. [8:35] Usually we have someone from a department [8:38] come and do kind of like be a guest speaker and each meeting to learn a little bit about [8:42] to the government and to know enough about it to be able to share it with others, so there's [8:47] just something for you to know. [8:51] You are speaking about something you've got to change, tell me more about the secret of what [9:19] That was a project from 3-2-1 millennials, which is like a legal group that did about a few years ago, but I see your side to it. [9:29] But, you know, those are things that, as I use, team you guys can discuss and see if there's certain problems you want to try to solve in the city. [9:38] So, I think that was a neat thing on that. [9:40] I think it was back that we had and everybody hasn't really interesting and I think you [9:46] ran really good perspective in making a conversation. [9:51] What I did really like about what you had to say is you like the final path where everyone [9:55] has to have to do with the resolve. [9:57] You shouldn't try to make it a win win, which is really hard to do, but it's going to have [10:02] that. [10:03] Of course, I know in that, that's true and what we want to do. [10:07] The other thing I'm going to like about what I saw here is just that our time [10:10] around the city and observing things, what would be some of those things in the city you [10:16] would like to talk about as a unit council that you're seeing in the city. [10:22] I live in a little trouble, [10:36] because sometimes you used to rush that up first thing on the [10:39] mind you weren't thinking about what you were projected in board, so that's very good. [10:43] I like what you have written in here, I like the idea that you need to build a lot of time [10:47] in the city, you write around the city, and that you want to see some things improve the [10:51] the same same time, so it's really good. [10:54] Open thanks for coming in, thank you. [10:56] I'm taking you on that, thank you. [10:58] All right, so I'm going to only have two questions. [11:01] What can I say in the row? [11:03] I think we can be [11:10] named in by Argyne Balister and Stroke. [11:15] Oh, I wanted to introduce the gentleman, [11:18] or was he, in an eight or a four, [11:21] And I'll start with a, okay, cool. [11:27] You'll have been the first captain of the crew team. [11:30] So, you know, many, many minutes ago. [11:32] I mean, just quite some points back. [11:34] Yeah, I see. [11:37] But either way, I key to it on your comment about the main concern [11:41] in our community, being a driver's advisor, [11:44] is not paying attention. [11:45] There's a huge movement right now, [11:47] against the e-bikes, for example. [11:50] What kind of goal would you set for that? [11:55] Because it's a perception from many of our citizens that it's really capable of doing a lot of being less paying attention than the drivers. [12:09] I would say it would be more educational videos or why it's not, I would say it would be driving through and so on. [12:23] And you can do that through in school. Is that correct? [12:27] Well, there would be a little bit of information. [12:30] Yeah, so, you know, these council, at that, became kind of a priority of theirs. [12:35] I think there are a few years down with the crosswalks. [12:42] Sounds good. [12:43] That's all I have. [12:45] I have just like a few couple things. [12:49] Number one, when I ran from there, what makes I ran on is I just wanted to keep [12:54] to save you the way I was. [12:56] So I can't understand where you're coming from. [12:58] That's exactly what I was.
