was in the language and the 817 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:23,720 letter I believe is is a 818 00:43:23,720 --> 00:43:25,240 misunderstanding and the the payment 819 00:43:25,240 --> 00:43:27,480 arrangements must be made within that 30 820 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,640 days and that's what it's referring to 821 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,280 it's not that the that that the payment 822 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,359 arrangements can be made beyond the 30 823 00:43:33,359 --> 00:43:36,440 days uh which is what the request 824 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,040 was the ordinance requires payment of 825 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,520 the lean forgiveness within 30 days 826 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,680 whether it be all at once over a 827 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,160 four-week period but it needs to be 828 00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,960 within 30 days so the only way it could 829 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,040 be extended at this point is a Beyond 830 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,040 based on the the strict interpretation 831 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,240 of the code is the actually after 30 832 00:43:56,240 --> 00:43:59,440 days the lean forgiveness goes away and 833 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,520 Miss Bard would have to reapply for the 834 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,359 lean forgiveness coming back to through 835 00:44:03,359 --> 00:44:06,480 code board back to city council unless 836 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,400 the City attorney can offer up a a 837 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:13,000 different you know uh super attorne what 838 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,880 you got excuse me a minute I need to go 839 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:24,990 and get yes ma'am that's 840 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:31,510 fine 841 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:35,119 can I ask you a question Mr Mayor um if 842 00:44:35,119 --> 00:44:38,400 you get your lean forgiveness reinstated 843 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,680 would you be able to pay it off in four 844 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:45,200 within 30 days or four weeks Mrs yes I 845 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,599 would so I 846 00:44:47,599 --> 00:44:49,800 see I don't see a problem with that as 847 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:53,040 long as she pays it that's my I mean I 848 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:56,359 I've fallen short too as well and I'm 849 00:44:56,359 --> 00:44:57,680 understanding and I would hate and I 850 00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,760 know you're not trying to establish a 851 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,160 precedent uh and that I would be in 852 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:04,720 favor extending it if it goes through 853 00:45:04,720 --> 00:45:06,640 the proper channels etc etc I don't have 854 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,040 a problem with having her rights 855 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,440 reinstated or that conditions of those 856 00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,480 uh the written language reinstate 857 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,319 Anthony can we do that he's looking hold 858 00:45:17,319 --> 00:45:19,440 on one second okay okay and I have to 859 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:20,800 agree with Mike I think you know the 860 00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,319 whole purpose is to bring properties 861 00:45:23,319 --> 00:45:26,680 into compliance to recover the cost 862 00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,599 for the staff and for the filings and 863 00:45:28,599 --> 00:45:31,760 stuff and I realize that 864 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:36,400 the the city rule say within 30 days but 865 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,200 you know I mean pretty short really okay 866 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,800 this is I didn't make that this is what 867 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,400 the letter said if payment is not 868 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,680 delivered to the Community Development 869 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,319 Department or payment arrangements have 870 00:45:49,319 --> 00:45:52,359 not been made within 30 days of the date 871 00:45:52,359 --> 00:45:54,599 of this letter this matter will be 872 00:45:54,599 --> 00:45:55,839 forwarded to the City attorney 873 00:45:55,839 --> 00:45:58,440 attorney's office for further action see 874 00:45:58,440 --> 00:45:59,800 I would have thought that that meant I 875 00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:01,559 can make payment arrangements within the 876 00:46:01,559 --> 00:46:03,319 30 days yeah I would have thought that 877 00:46:03,319 --> 00:46:06,720 too yeah so did I yeah so it's a game of 878 00:46:06,720 --> 00:46:08,920 I w't call it game of semantics but it's 879 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,680 wording that's how you want to yeah read 880 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,950 it and interpret 881 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,680 it the way the code actually reads and 882 00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,640 um is that once the council approves a 883 00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,440 reduction um you know typically the 884 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:25,960 condition the conditions have to be 885 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,559 complied with within 30 days and my 886 00:46:28,559 --> 00:46:30,359 recollection of of that hearing there 887 00:46:30,359 --> 00:46:33,520 weren't any conditions placed on the 888 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,800 repayment so the council has the 889 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,720 authority to impose conditions and if 890 00:46:39,720 --> 00:46:42,920 the conditions are a payment plan you 891 00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,599 know the council um council could do 892 00:46:45,599 --> 00:46:48,599 that as part of a lean reduction subject 893 00:46:48,599 --> 00:46:51,280 to you know a payment plan condition but 894 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:56,119 that was not that was not the original um decision of the Council 895 00:46:56,119 --> 00:46:57,559 so that would have to be 896 00:46:57,559 --> 00:47:00,119 Revisited so can't do it here would that 897 00:47:00,119 --> 00:47:01,520 be something we could do now or are we 898 00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:02,960 going to need to put it on an agenda I 899 00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:04,480 mean can we just make a 900 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,920 motion I mean this is being thrown at 901 00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,920 the council you know I would recommend 902 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,920 putting it on as an agenda yes item on 903 00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,720 the condition so we can sew this up a 904 00:47:15,720 --> 00:47:17,280 little bit and present it to you as a 905 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,760 complete package rather than uh 906 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:21,880 spontaneously doesn't need to go back 907 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,440 code though does it no just the council 908 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:26,359 would just 909 00:47:26,359 --> 00:47:30,960 re reconsider the uh the prior action 910 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,599 um let me ask a question in addition to 911 00:47:33,599 --> 00:47:36,319 what and I support that wholeheartedly 912 00:47:36,319 --> 00:47:39,000 in addition to that can she come in good 913 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:40,440 faith say here's 914 00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,440 $250 is that what we're saying yes yes 915 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,760 and just to say hey I am sincere I'm in 916 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,119 a better condition than previously 30 917 00:47:48,119 --> 00:47:51,839 days or four weeks ago here I am as a 918 00:47:51,839 --> 00:47:55,240 good samarit as citizen etc etc yeah I 919 00:47:55,240 --> 00:47:57,720 still have the $250 check okay I mean 920 00:47:57,720 --> 00:48:00,079 out to the city is that permissible the 921 00:48:00,079 --> 00:48:01,760 well assuming that the council you know 922 00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:03,680 ultimately changed their their prior 923 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,960 vote um if the city could accept that as 924 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,480 a good faith deposit in in preparation 925 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,160 for the reconsideration of the item at 926 00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:15,079 the next meeting okay I'm for it let's do it I'm in favor so do we need a 927 00:48:15,079 --> 00:48:18,319 vote or just a consensus motion mean I 928 00:48:18,319 --> 00:48:20,720 have just yeah the cons at this point 929 00:48:20,720 --> 00:48:22,520 because this is on delegation we'll see 930 00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,480 the meeting W okay come back we'll fix 931 00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,200 it okay the next issue that I have and 932 00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:32,160 it's the last one um when I first I used 933 00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:33,800 to live in Virginia and when I first 934 00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:38,480 came down here I was told that uh if I 935 00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,640 moved into my house uh before I could 936 00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,000 rent it out I would have to live in the 937 00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:45,200 house for a 938 00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:49,760 year my neighbor next door has did not 939 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:53,079 do that uh he has rented his house out 940 00:48:53,079 --> 00:48:57,559 to um somebody body and in the last 941 00:48:57,559 --> 00:49:00,480 couple of days the police has been there 942 00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:05,200 twice uh and U there's uh drug activity 943 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:09,280 and possibly prostitution going on so 944 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,839 what do I need to do what can what can 945 00:49:11,839 --> 00:49:14,079 be done there's no requirement that you 946 00:49:14,079 --> 00:49:16,160 have to live in your property we have 947 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:17,960 people that own property in the city or 948 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:22,359 rent it from the day that they buy it right there's no 949 00:49:22,359 --> 00:49:25,599 Mr don't we have some program if you did 950 00:49:25,599 --> 00:49:28,880 building permits as a owner builder then 951 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,040 you have a requirement by state law to 952 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,599 occupy that property because the state 953 00:49:33,599 --> 00:49:34,880 building commission has deemed it would 954 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,359 be inappropriate for somebody else to 955 00:49:37,359 --> 00:49:39,040 under the guise of doing an owner 956 00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:40,599 Builder building permit because I know 957 00:49:40,599 --> 00:49:42,640 you had to make some repairs that it 958 00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:44,119 would not be appropriate to then 959 00:49:44,119 --> 00:49:45,680 subsequently rent it out because you're 960 00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,960 using a specific provision in the in the 961 00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,839 uh the building code to do repairs 962 00:49:52,839 --> 00:49:54,319 otherwise you would have to get a you 963 00:49:54,319 --> 00:49:56,319 would have to get a contractor to do 964 00:49:56,319 --> 00:49:58,280 those repairs and then you be able to 965 00:49:58,280 --> 00:49:59,640 rent it out immediately and I don't 966 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:01,000 think it's one year I think it's three 967 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:02,920 years if I recall maybe commercial is 968 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,079 three years and then residential one I 969 00:50:05,079 --> 00:50:07,280 forget but I know that's that might be 970 00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,599 the issue if you CU I know your the 971 00:50:09,599 --> 00:50:11,720 former action was related to maintenance 972 00:50:11,720 --> 00:50:12,960 to a structure and there was probably 973 00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:14,720 some repairs that were required you 974 00:50:14,720 --> 00:50:16,000 needed to get a building permit and if 975 00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:17,839 you did them on your own that's why you 976 00:50:17,839 --> 00:50:19,880 had to maintain occupancy or residency 977 00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:21,520 in the property and you couldn't rent it 978 00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:22,359 out 979 00:50:22,359 --> 00:50:25,240 immediately

Florida okay so we had 1091 00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,319 a water baptism for Sunday and when we 1092 00:57:06,319 --> 00:57:09,559 start filling the pool the water start 1093 00:57:09,559 --> 00:57:12,559 coming out and a few minutes kind of 1094 00:57:12,559 --> 00:57:16,440 reddish looking and so we would dump the 1095 00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:19,960 pool and we did it again and we let the 1096 00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:23,160 water run a long time on the lawn and 1097 00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,480 then it looked kind of clear 1098 00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:27,559 and then we started filling the pool 1099 00:57:27,559 --> 00:57:30,319 again and eventually when the pool got 1100 00:57:30,319 --> 00:57:33,200 about half full the water began to turn 1101 00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:34,520 yellowish 1102 00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,559 again and so we put a little bleach in 1103 00:57:37,559 --> 00:57:41,160 it to purify it and then we had the 1104 00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:46,799 baptism but when we drained the pool and 1105 00:57:46,799 --> 00:57:49,240 the the drags were left in the bottom 1106 00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:51,359 and it looked like red 1107 00:57:51,359 --> 00:57:55,079 sand so one of the deacons said said it 1108 00:57:55,079 --> 00:57:58,079 may be rust in the pipe and I needed to 1109 00:57:58,079 --> 00:58:01,720 know whether or not the rust is in pipe 1110 00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,359 well we're responsible and what could we 1111 00:58:04,359 --> 00:58:07,319 do about it or is it because it's an old 1112 00:58:07,319 --> 00:58:10,960 building and need new pipes I don't know 1113 00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:14,880 that but maybe you could tell me what it 1114 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,680 is could you send your team out there 1115 00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,920 Jack Jack sorry yes sir yeah we did we 1116 00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,039 sent out a crew after we had got notied 1117 00:58:23,039 --> 00:58:25,559 I think it came through Matt on that day 1118 00:58:25,559 --> 00:58:27,599 uh we sent out a water field operations 1119 00:58:27,599 --> 00:58:30,599 crew they went out uh they uh pulled the 1120 00:58:30,599 --> 00:58:33,000 meter uh they did take a sample the 1121 00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,119 water it did have a color tint to it so 1122 00:58:35,119 --> 00:58:36,920 they let it run for five or so or 10 1123 00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:39,799 minutes until it ran clear uh we tested 1124 00:58:39,799 --> 00:58:43,240 the water uh had good residual so uh a 1125 00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:46,520 lot of times um ma'am it's most likely 1126 00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:48,799 it's coming from the transmission Lane 1127 00:58:48,799 --> 00:58:50,599 like I said you said possibly could come 1128 00:58:50,599 --> 00:58:52,400 from interior buildings but typically 1129 00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:54,079 the buildings are made out of copper 1130 00:58:54,079 --> 00:58:55,760 could be G up ized inside the building 1131 00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:58,280 which could contribute um but certainly 1132 00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:00,240 uh the water line that that's a dead end 1133 00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,359 Street uh right there where we serve you 1134 00:59:02,359 --> 00:59:03,839 and is a long service line there that 1135 00:59:03,839 --> 00:59:06,720 could contribute to the issue um the 1136 00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:08,720 material of the pipe obviously uh it 1137 00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:10,960 shows as galvanized right now it's a 1138 00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:13,559 2-in galvanized uh uh main that runs 1139 00:59:13,559 --> 00:59:15,359 down the street to the end uh and 1140 00:59:15,359 --> 00:59:17,200 there's about 100 foot or so service 1141 00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:20,079 that goes to the very end to where where the building is where she's 1142 00:59:20,079 --> 00:59:22,240 talking about uh but we did test the 1143 00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:23,640 water to make sure that it was still 1144 00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:25,440 safe to drink it's not 1145 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:27,280 uh you know the most appeasing thing 1146 00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:28,799 because it has a color tint to it that 1147 00:59:28,799 --> 00:59:30,920 is from the inside of the pipes uh while 1148 00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:33,400 the crew was there the meter box was low 1149 00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:34,839 so they went ahead and reset the meter 1150 00:59:34,839 --> 00:59:36,480 and adjusted the box to the correct 1151 00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:38,760 height so that's what we've done at this 1152 00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:42,039 point uh we also did go back uh uh I did 1153 00:59:42,039 --> 00:59:46,280 check with u um with uh the lab um just 1154 00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:47,760 to check and see if we had any other 1155 00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:49,480 complaints from the street there are a 1156 00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:50,960 couple of empty lots there on the 1157 00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:52,680 streets we don't have a lot of use there 1158 00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:54,520 are several other houses we haven't had 1159 00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:56,039 any other complaints from from the 1160 00:59:56,039 --> 00:59:57,960 citizens on the street so that could 1161 00:59:57,960 --> 00:59:59,559 also be another clue as to whether it's 1162 00:59:59,559 --> 01:00:01,280 coming from a pipe or whether it's 1163 01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:03,200 coming from inside from from the service 1164 01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:08,390 line itself to the building right 1165 01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,319 okay D 1166 01:00:10,319 --> 01:00:12,720 penny Okay thank you

01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:34,880 indication that there's there's a 1179 01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:36,119 problem and we would want to go ahead 1180 01:00:36,119 --> 01:00:37,760 and and look at replacing that line in 1181 01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:39,640 the street assuming that that is the 1182 01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:41,319 culprit so yes sir that would be the 1183 01:00:41,319 --> 01:00:42,520 next action if we had if we had 1184 01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,760 additional complaints thank you okay 1185 01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:47,880 thank you thank you for coming um next 1186 01:00:47,880 -->

city's plans to build a Cumberland Farm 1193 01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:13,680 across the historic Stone Street at from 1194 01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:15,960 the railroad to US1 building a 1195 01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:17,880 Cumberland Farms across Stone Street 1196 01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:19,440 does nothing for the diamond Square 1197 01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:21,359 Community because the residents and 1198 01:01:21,359 --> 01:01:23,400 business owners cannot access the store 1199 01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:25,000 due to a barricade 1200 01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:27,480 at the Stone Street railroad crossing 1201 01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:29,599 this store would literally turn its back 1202 01:01:29,599 --> 01:01:32,079 on this community with no opportunity to 1203 01:01:32,079 --> 01:01:34,599 access it walking and driving to this 1204 01:01:34,599 --> 01:01:37,240 store is a hardship and impossible for 1205 01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:39,440 the residents building a Cumberland 1206 01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:41,039 Farms across Stone Street would 1207 01:01:41,039 --> 01:01:43,079 permanently block residents from access 1208 01:01:43,079 --> 01:01:46,200 to US1 during a hurricane or natural 1209

--> 01:05:15,400 when they involve investors who don't 1290 01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:17,520 pull permits and who don't pay property 1291 01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:19,960 taxes and then want lean reduced

the lady on Purdue that expects it for 1419 01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:09,679 the rest of her life that's what I was 1420 01:11:09,679 --> 01:11:11,400 promised when my yard was tore up for 1421 01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:14,760 two months we still do not have constant 1422 01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:17,320 pressure now you want to raise our 1423 01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:22,159 rates uh I've got emails um that I sent 1424 01:11:22,159 --> 01:11:27,000 Tyler Matt had promised me a uh a credit 1425 01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:30,520 on my water bill because the two that 1426 01:11:30,520 --> 01:11:32,320 you have now reclaimed coordinators come 1427 01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:34,360 out and stood in my yard and told me 1428 01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:35,920 that the reason I didn't have any water 1429 01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:38,280 is cuz we had too much and they had to 1430 01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:40,800 pump it to rockage Meanwhile all my 1431 01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:44,070 grass is 1432 01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:50,550 dead I don't know is that 1433 01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:54,040 true Miss Smith had uh initially reached 1434 01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:58,239 out to our uh Water Reclamation team and 1435 01:11:58,239 --> 01:12:01,560 they responded they uh did numerous 1436 01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:06,159 tests at her location they did find the pressure 1437 01:12:06,159 --> 01:12:09,840 was was low it wasn't that it was not 1438 01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:11,199 functioning it was low it wasn't 1439 01:12:11,199 --> 01:12:13,360 reaching certain portions of her yard it 1440 01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:15,840 wasn't functioning at all then they knew 1441 01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:17,040 they stood in my yard and told me they 1442 01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:18,719 knew for three and a half four months 1443 01:12:18,719 --> 01:12:20,719 that Pine Ridge as a whole had a problem 1444 01:12:20,719 --> 01:12:22,480 and they didn't know what it was and 1445 01:12:22,480 --> 01:12:24,440 they suggested that I shut my water off 1446 01:12:24,440 --> 01:12:26,239 till they could figure it out when the 1447 01:12:26,239 --> 01:12:27,639 whole time it was because they never 1448 01:12:27,639 --> 01:12:29,800 told the street crew to turn the valve 1449 01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:33,199 back on now my yard is dead I've never 1450 01:12:33,199 --> 01:12:35,199 received the credit 1451 01:12:35,199 --> 01:12:37,520 out I'm not cutting them off can he 1452 01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:39,639 finish then because because I think he 1453 01:12:39,639 --> 01:12:40,800 was still wanting to say something 1454 01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:42,560 there's no disrespect to you ma'am we 1455 01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:44,480 listen to you can I get a comment from 1456 01:12:44,480 --> 01:12:47,040 him

01:12:53,239 and uh through multiple interactions 1460 01:12:53,239 --> 01:12:55,520 with with uh Miss Smith and we also had 1461 01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:59,639 our our uh reuse team back on site uh 1462 01:12:59,639 --> 01:13:01,840 Jack's team with engineering research 1463 01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:04,880 the issue uh they were able to make some 1464 01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,880 adjustments to the system and uh 1465 01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:09,880 increase the pressure at her 1466 01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:11,440 location 1467 01:13:11,440 --> 01:13:15,800 um at that time it was deemed a city 1468 01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:18,840 council policy decision whether they 1469 01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:24,120 were to provide a reduction in her reuse 1470 01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:28,120 uh based on the the loss of service uh 1471 01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:31,000 the policy currently maintains that uh 1472 01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:35,040 we do not guarantee uh 100% service of 1473 01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:37,560 our reuse system uh you'll find that 1474 01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:42,560 agenda item uh it's uh the first item 1475 01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:43,840 under the 1476 01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:47,920 consent agenda and that does reflect uh 1477 01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:50,840 our current policy as well as uh those 1478 01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:53,719 neighboring uh systems uh we are 1479 01:13:53,719 --> 01:13:57,080 consistent with them uh it is for your 1480 01:13:57,080 --> 01:14:00,040 consideration tonight uh it also uh went 1481 01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:05,080 to the UAB board uh in July I believe 1482 01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:07,320 and they they heard the issue researched 1483 01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:11,960 it and uh they are moving it uh to your 1484 01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:14,560 uh agenda with a 1485 01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:17,440 recommendation and uh Jack can maybe 1486 01:14:17,440 --> 01:14:19,520 provide some more context if you'd like 1487 01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:22,120 recommendation to what Mr F uh the 1488 01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:24,520 recommendation I believe is to uh 1489 01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:28,830 continue with the existing 1490 01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:31,440 policy you mean you mean 1491 01:14:31,440 --> 01:14:33,960 rates no with the with the existing 1492 01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:37,520 policy in that we do not guarantee 100% 1493 01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:39,520 service of our reuse system I know a lot 1494 01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:42,120 of communities have the same I was going 1495 01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:44,400 to say that that policy is consistent in 1496 01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:47,199 jacking comment on it but that policy of 1497 01:14:47,199 --> 01:14:50,760 not guaranteeing 100% of reuse is 1498 01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:51,800 consistent with all the other 1499 01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:53,480 municipalities in the in the county 1500 01:14:53,480 --> 01:14:56,080 that's right that's right and um so so 1501 01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:58,920 okay so number one's reliability there 1502 01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:01,000 is none yeah there is none right so sat 1503 01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:03,360 Saturday the my sprinklers came on and 1504 01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:05,960 wet my windows clean to the top Sunday 1505 01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:08,440 wouldn't even reach the back of my uh my 1506 01:15:08,440 --> 01:15:11,840 flly beds I went on vacation for 12 days 1507 01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:13,800 all of my plants that I had just put out 1508 01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:16,600 in pots died because we had no reclaimed 1509 01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:18,120 water whatsoever for four days I was 1510 01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:21,880 told when I got back wow it's totally 1511 01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:24,560 inconsistent and it'll work one day out 1512 01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:27,120 of seven and it's become a full-time job 1513 01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:29,040 trying to get reclaimed water and all my 1514 01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:31,440 grass is dead now you know I've been 1515 01:15:31,440 --> 01:15:34,080 here 23 years we've never had this 1516 01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:35,000 problem you were one of the first 1517 01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:37,960 hookups and it was a oh yeah I had my I 1518 01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:40,040 didn't have a driveway nothing for over 1519 01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:43,400 two months you know we were promised $5 1520 01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:45,400 a month unlimited use they said well it 1521 01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:47,080 doesn't say forever I said it doesn't 1522 01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:48,800 say not forever that's what we were told 1523 01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:51,480 when it sold to us I don't think anybody 1524 01:15:51,480 --> 01:15:54,600 take it take you know interpretation we 1525 01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:56,840 were told that they were trying amount 1526 01:15:56,840 --> 01:15:59,080 of people to hook up and it was going to 1527 01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:01,320 be that and then later the next batch of 1528 01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:03,520 people it was different but every year 1529 01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:05,159 the rates go up go up go up and you'all 1530 01:16:05,159 --> 01:16:06,840 want to raise them again and I can't 1531 01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:09,760 even get a lawn I can't even keep potted 1532 01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:10,679 plants 1533 01:16:10,679 --> 01:16:13,960 alive Matt that was EXC I just want to 1534 01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:16,840 know uh in the original resolution 1535 01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:20,120 adopted in 1991 it never provided that 1536 01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:22,719 the rates would remain the same in fact 1537 01:16:22,719 --> 01:16:24,679 that res resolution provides that the 1538 01:16:24,679 --> 01:16:26,920 they would be adjusted and include spe 1539 01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:28,800 language that specifically provided city 1540 01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,199 council May establish or amend from Time 1541 01:16:31,199 --> 01:16:33,000 toy the connection charges and rates for 1542 01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:36,000 the alternative water supply so there's 1543 01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:38,760 no we we've gone back and forth and 1544 01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:41,440 there's no record that we have that 1545 01:16:41,440 --> 01:16:43,639 that's that's a concern for the first 1546 01:16:43,639 --> 01:16:45,080 people to hooked up I remember that way 1547 01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:47,480 back cuz I got hook up that I was told 1548 01:16:47,480 --> 01:16:48,840 the same 1549 01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:52,280 thing we all told that it' be $5 and I 1550 01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:54,159 was told by him that we would be getting 1551 01:16:54,159 --> 01:16:55,920 a credit because I've got an email that 1552 01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:59,000 I sent Mr Mr Furbish on February the 1553 01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:01,480 24th saying I did finally hear from Matt 1554 01:17:01,480 --> 01:17:03,000 yesterday and they are going to issue 1555 01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:06,239 our neighbors credit right and now and 1556 01:17:06,239 --> 01:17:07,560 he told me he would let me know when it 1557 01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:09,840 was coming up I haven't heard from you s 1558 01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:12,159 we John I have reclaimed John I just 1559 01:17:12,159 --> 01:17:13,480 want to say this we have to and I've 1560 01:17:13,480 --> 01:17:14,840 experienced that before we have to be 1561 01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:16,480 reliable on our system I mean I I know 1562 01:17:16,480 --> 01:17:17,719 it's going to break down from time to 1563 01:17:17,719 --> 01:17:19,520 time but we have to work on this and get 1564 01:17:19,520 --> 01:17:21,840 it fixed I mean that's and I think Jack 1565 01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:24,880 can come on but we took this whole issue 1566 01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:26,719 and we presented it to the utilities 1567 01:17:26,719 --> 01:17:28,280 Advisory Board which is comprised of 1568 01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:31,679 citizens and others recommend and they 1569 01:17:31,679 --> 01:17:35,040 unanimously uh voted to stay with our 1570 01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:37,440 current policies which are again fairly 1571 01:17:37,440 --> 01:17:38,360 consistent with what other 1572 01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:40,320 municipalities are doing because I mean 1573 01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:42,920 while we we certainly Endeavor to always 1574 01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:45,199 uh provide reclaimed water there are 1575 01:17:45,199 --> 01:17:47,719 instances and I think Jack cantic let's 1576 01:17:47,719 --> 01:17:48,760 figure this thing out and get it 1577 01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:51,159 reliable because I mean I used to get 1578 01:17:51,159 --> 01:17:52,639 calls from other communities think it 1579 01:17:52,639 --> 01:17:54,960 was our water that their their gray 1580 01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,880 water or you know reuse was ours but 1581 01:17:57,880 --> 01:17:59,480 wasn't but I don't want to be the one 1582 01:17:59,480 --> 01:18:04,320 that breaks down all the time let's get comment on it PGE and all that 1583 01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:06,320 I don't understand how you can say you 1584 01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:08,560 don't you're not going to guarantee 1585 01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:10,800 service that's like Florida p and light 1586 01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:12,560 send you a $100 bill when you ain't got 1587 01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:15,040 no electricity for a month I don't know 1588 01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:16,320 why they do that but I can tell you this 1589 01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:18,120 the system is a lot simpler it's like a 1590 01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:19,760 series of pumps it's a whole different 1591 01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:21,600 system do any of the people that's on 1592 01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:23,840 this board living Pine Ridge can we let 1593 01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:25,760 the utilities director explain why some 1594 01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:29,320 of the Jackie Jackie how's work how do 1595 01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:31,840 that system work at P that area yeah 1596 01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:33,679 that or how old is it this is the system 1597 01:18:33,679 --> 01:18:35,560 where uh and she's correct there was a 1598 01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:38,199 there's a uh there's a a blowoff valve 1599 01:18:38,199 --> 01:18:40,760 that's probably a quarter of a mile away 1600 01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:42,760 and when we do have excess reclaim 1601 01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:44,400 because we have to we we have to the 1602 01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:47,199 reclaim system we have to balance the 1603 01:18:47,199 --> 01:18:49,679 influent coming to the plant with what's 1604 01:18:49,679 --> 01:18:52,560 going out so if not enough is coming in 1605 01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:54,280 we have have to supplement using braco 1606 01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:56,199 Pond and other and other ways to do that 1607 01:18:56,199 --> 01:18:57,719 when it's dry and hot like it is right 1608 01:18:57,719 --> 01:18:59,800 now we don't have enough to keep up we 1609 01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:01,199 we're struggling and we're pulling stuff 1610 01:19:01,199 --> 01:19:02,920 from the ponds to supplement that right 1611 01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:05,320 now right when there's too much 1612 01:19:05,320 --> 01:19:06,480 typically this time of the year it's 1613 01:19:06,480 --> 01:19:08,280 usually a too much issue but this has 1614 01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:10,679 been ex extremely dry you know August or 1615 01:19:10,679 --> 01:19:13,440 July and August but when we have too 1616 01:19:13,440 --> 01:19:15,639 much uh we have to we have to get rid of 1617 01:19:15,639 --> 01:19:17,880 it we don't have so much storage so you 1618 01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:19,480 know we try to encourage folks obviously 1619 01:19:19,480 --> 01:19:21,159 to use that at that time we have other 1620 01:19:21,159 --> 01:19:23,440 areas in other ways we can get rid of 1621 01:19:23,440 --> 01:19:25,320 the reclaim so we but we It's A Real 1622 01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:28,000 Fine Line whereas you know if you think 1623 01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:29,719 about a I'm just going to use it as an 1624 01:19:29,719 --> 01:19:32,040 example the general water system we 1625 01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:34,920 balance the demands uh for for for 1626 01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:37,360 portable water based on the need when 1627 01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:39,679 people call for water we sense that in a 1628 01:19:39,679 --> 01:19:43,760 pressure drop they make adjustments and we deliver water but I don't have 1629 01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:46,880 necessarily the same uh flexibility 1630 01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:49,560 because my source of reclaim comes from 1631 01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:52,239 the effluent from from the waste side 1632 01:19:52,239 --> 01:19:54,560 and so some days it's high some days 1633 01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:56,639 it's low sometimes the call for demand 1634 01:19:56,639 --> 01:19:58,400 is high sometimes the call for demand is 1635 01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:01,080 really low and so those make really 1636 01:20:01,080 --> 01:20:02,840 extra challenges in trying to keep 1637 01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:05,560 steady state operations now since since 1638 01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:08,920 this incident occurred we did install uh 1639 01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:10,199 at our own you know at the expense of 1640 01:20:10,199 --> 01:20:11,960 the utility we installed a sensor down 1641 01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:13,880 there on that valve to make sure that we 1642 01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:15,800 maintain pressure in that neighborhood 1643 01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:17,520 so we have corrected that issue so we 1644 01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:20,239 shouldn't have low pressures like we had 1645 01:20:20,239 --> 01:20:22,280 like what she's describing what occurred 1646 01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:24,159 uh back in I guess whenever that was 1647 01:20:24,159 --> 01:20:25,480 when that occurred a month or two ago 1648 01:20:25,480 --> 01:20:27,600 when this when this incident 1649 01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:31,639 occurred okay but again I can't you know 1650 01:20:31,639 --> 01:20:33,560 I can't I can't pre I can't promise 1651 01:20:33,560 --> 01:20:34,840 pressure in the reclaim system as much 1652 01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:37,120 as I can't necessarily you know promise 1653 01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:38,880 pressure in the water system we do our 1654 01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:40,360 best to try to balance those systems 1655 01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:42,520 with the demands necessary for the for 1656 01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:43,920 the portable water as well as for the 1657 01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:46,199 reclaim uh and you know that that's the 1658 01:20:46,199 --> 01:20:48,480 best we can do uh we we really do try 1659 01:20:48,480 --> 01:20:50,120 hard and we do we do listen to the 1660 01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:51,800 customers and when there's low pressure 1661 01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:53,480 complaints or what complaint we send 1662 01:20:53,480 --> 01:20:54,679 people out there to investigate and try 1663 01:20:54,679 --> 01:20:56,560 to figure out what's going on and like 1664 01:20:56,560 --> 01:20:58,320 in this case we thought that the blowing 1665 01:20:58,320 --> 01:21:03,800 off of the water was creating the low pressure in that area right um 1666 01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:06,600 Brenda Carrie do we have some openings 1667 01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:08,960 on the utilities Advisory Board there 1668 01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:12,320 are two regular and two alternate okay

01:30:24,119 --> 01:30:26,000 Mayor yes before we move on I have a 1884 01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:28,679 question for Steve 1885 01:30:28,679 --> 01:30:32,159 sure when the board of adjustment denied 1886 01:30:32,159 --> 01:30:34,480 that application last time Steve do you 1887 01:30:34,480 --> 01:30:36,040 remember what the the grounds for the 1888 01:30:36,040 --> 01:30:39,920 denial were uh based on uh testimony 1889 01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:41,560 from residents in the community and and 1890 01:30:41,560 --> 01:30:42,560 some of what you're hearing tonight 1891 01:30:42,560 --> 01:30:43,920 there was they felt that the impact of 1892 01:30:43,920 --> 01:30:46,040 the community would have been negative 1893 01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:47,679 and given the fact that there were there 1894 01:30:47,679 --> 01:30:49,360 were similar uses in the neighborhood 1895 01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:51,520 they they they kind of agreed with with 1896 01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:53,920 the resents were saying that they felt 1897 01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:55,520 uh that it would negatively impact the 1898 01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:58,400 community so it wasn't based solely on 1899 01:30:58,400 --> 01:31:00,760 the fact that there was a church that is 1900 01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:02,320 correct and actually and I'm trying to 1901 01:31:02,320 --> 01:31:03,560 pull up the code now but I believe the 1902 01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:06,080 code states that regarding uh that 1903 01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:08,000 distance requirement it does not apply 1904 01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:10,679 to uh an establishment selling for 1905 01:31:10,679 --> 01:31:13,119 off-site consumption only for on-site 1906 01:31:13,119 --> 01:31:16,080 consumption so the neighbors need to 1907 01:31:16,080 --> 01:31:17,239 make sure that they're at the board of 1908 01:31:17,239 --> 01:31:19,679 adjustment meeting to oppose this again 1909 01:31:19,679 --> 01:31:28,830 okay that is correct good okay all

01:49:14,480 --> 01:49:16,480 that were presented but as it relates to 2317 01:49:16,480 --> 01:49:18,760 Stone Street is because of the proximity 2318 01:49:18,760 --> 01:49:20,639 there were some accidents and fat ities 2319 01:49:20,639 --> 01:49:23,880 and for like this was in 2002 so it was 2320 01:49:23,880 --> 01:49:27,800 around 95 to 98 I think their data was 2321 01:49:27,800 --> 01:49:32,920 and so then in 2000 in March of 2003 we 2322 01:49:32,920 --> 01:49:35,360 received uh they have filed an 2323 01:49:35,360 --> 01:49:39,920 application with fdot to close the 2324 01:49:39,920 --> 01:49:43,800 crossing um and so from that point in 2325 01:49:43,800 --> 01:49:47,239 2003 going all the way up to beginning 2326 01:49:47,239 --> 01:49:49,599 probably I'm looking

borderline with the 2385 01:52:17,880 --> 01:52:19,880 rail safety coordinator and she spoke to 2386 01:52:19,880 --> 01:52:22,320 fd's general counsel and they're of the 2387 01:52:22,320 --> 01:52:25,480 opinion this city has a legal agreement 2388 01:52:25,480 --> 01:52:29,239 between FD and FEC that a prior Council 2389 01:52:29,239 --> 01:52:34,280 adopted and absent FEC agreeing to 2390 01:52:34,280 --> 01:52:37,920 opening the crossing their fdot is not 2391 01:52:37,920 --> 01:52:39,800 going to even process the application if 2392 01:52:39,800 --> 01:52:41,040 you look at their flowchart it won't 2393 01:52:41,040 --> 01:52:43,079 even make it past the viability you know 2394 01:52:43,079 --> 01:52:46,760 decision point so uh and FEC has not you 2395 01:52:46,760 --> 01:52:48,960 know uh not to be confused with all 2396 01:52:48,960 --> 01:52:51,079 board florid and right Lin L but FBC has 2397 01:52:51,079 --> 01:52:55,280 indicated it's not willing to uh uh open 2398 01:52:55,280 --> 01:52:57,079 it they won't even again they wouldn't 2399 01:52:57,079 --> 01:52:58,679 even show up at the meeting there was a 2400 01:52:58,679 --> 01:53:00,760 subsequent meeting held in after that 2401 01:53:00,760 --> 01:53:03,159 October meeting I think Steve referred 2402 01:53:03,159 --> 01:53:05,639 to it in March of '08 John I think I 2403 01:53:05,639 --> 01:53:07,679 think they going to need us if they if 2404 01:53:07,679 --> 01:53:09,920 they pick a station you know what I'm 2405 01:53:09,920 --> 01:53:12,040 saying well they want to if they want to 2406 01:53:12,040 --> 01:53:14,679 run the uh the rail through 2407 01:53:14,679 --> 01:53:17,079 here no actually they don't sir to be 2408 01:53:17,079 --> 01:53:19,239 quite honest they have the right away 2409 01:53:19,239 --> 01:53:21,560 right they've got the right away yeah 2410 01:53:21,560 --> 01:53:25,119 their railroad doesn't cross our roads cross their that's right 2411 01:53:25,119 --> 01:53:29,079 railroad track so it just uh that's the 2412 01:53:29,079 --> 01:53:31,440 and I know we we can't take a fresh look 2413 01:53:31,440 --> 01:53:33,599 atoun Blake what about a fresh 2414 01:53:33,599 --> 01:53:35,920 negotiation with them they're I'm just 2415 01:53:35,920 --> 01:53:37,159 going to tell you so there is no 2416 01:53:37,159 --> 01:53:39,280 negotiation with them FC is older than 2417 01:53:39,280 --> 01:53:41,599 the State of Florida FC was here before 2418 01:53:41,599 --> 01:53:43,960 the State of Florida when Florida was a 2419 01:53:43,960 --> 01:53:47,119 territory FBC was was 2420 01:53:47,119 --> 01:53:51,360 1880 don't allow this right they um hold 2421 01:53:51,360 --> 01:53:52,840 on hold on one second they were here 2422 01:53:52,840 --> 01:53:55,119 first is that yeah and that's is that's 2423 01:53:55,119 --> 01:53:57,239 their attitude they were here first well 2424 01:53:57,239 --> 01:54:00,159 it just I mean their job is to run rail 2425 01:54:00,159 --> 01:54:03,480 efficiently efficiently move transport 2426 01:54:03,480 --> 01:54:06,400 Goods C you know products without 2427 01:54:06,400 --> 01:54:08,400 interference and the ability to get that 2428 01:54:08,400 --> 01:54:09,800 done in the most efficient and safe 2429 01:54:09,800 --> 01:54:11,599 manner how do they pick that road the 2430 01:54:11,599 --> 01:54:12,800 reason why they picked Stone Street 2431 01:54:12,800 --> 01:54:16,360 because it was located three I mean in their application it was less than 2432 01:54:16,360 --> 01:54:19,320 300 ft from a major crossing State Road 2433 01:54:19,320 --> 01:54:22,440 5 20 and there had been accidents and 2434 01:54:22,440 --> 01:54:26,719 fatalities there uh and based on their 2435 01:54:26,719 --> 01:54:29,400 application uh and then if you look at 2436 01:54:29,400 --> 01:54:32,719 the criteria that set forth in the uh 2437 01:54:32,719 --> 01:54:34,599 the basis that the state looks at in 2438 01:54:34,599 --> 01:54:37,159 terms of safety necessity for Rail and 2439 01:54:37,159 --> 01:54:40,199 vehicle traffic uh alternate routes uh 2440 01:54:40,199 --> 01:54:42,000 design of grade crossing road approaches 2441 01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:44,800 and then presence of multiple tracks uh 2442 01:54:44,800 --> 01:54:46,920 and their effect upon Rail and Highway 2443 01:54:46,920 --> 01:54:49,040 operations so those are the criteria by 2444 01:54:49,040 --> 01:54:51,360 which they evaluate it and they met that 2445 01:54:51,360 --> 01:54:54,119 criteria with fdot so if they met the 2446 01:54:54,119 --> 01:54:55,520 criteria and we've had this discussion 2447 01:54:55,520 --> 01:54:57,400 before actually back when councilman 2448 01:54:57,400 --> 01:54:59,679 Blake was mayor we working with one of 2449 01:54:59,679 --> 01:55:02,639 our Consultants had them preliminarily 2450 01:55:02,639 --> 01:55:04,400 look at you know is there an opportunity 2451 01:55:04,400 --> 01:55:08,480 for us to file file our own application 2452 01:55:08,480 --> 01:55:10,760 the one Fe fdot said unless you get 2453 01:55:10,760 --> 01:55:13,760 fec's you know agreement to open the 2454 01:55:13,760 --> 01:55:15,639 crossing of which they have are they 2455 01:55:15,639 --> 01:55:18,159 have communicated as early as late as 2456 01:55:18,159 --> 01:55:20,880 2010 back when the Amtrak station was 2457 01:55:20,880 --> 01:55:23,000 considering in coming here they've 2458 01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:25,199 communicated So within the last six 2459 01:55:25,199 --> 01:55:27,159 years I mean the Crossing's been closed 2460 01:55:27,159 --> 01:55:29,119 nine years so they have communicated 2461 01:55:29,119 --> 01:55:31,040 they are not interested and then the 2462 01:55:31,040 --> 01:55:32,360 other thing is we would still have the 2463 01:55:32,360 --> 01:55:34,960 burden of proof of trying to overcome 2464 01:55:34,960 --> 01:55:37,280 the data the FBC has already 2465 01:55:37,280 --> 01:55:39,199 demonstrated the necessity for the 2466 01:55:39,199 --> 01:55:40,960 closing that's the 2467 01:55:40,960 --> 01:55:43,760 challenge all right public 2468 01:55:43,760 --> 01:55:45,679 participant we're we're going to do it 2469 01:55:45,679 --> 01:55:48,599 right now um Mr 2470 01:55:48,599 --> 01:55:51,280 Mohammad he's got a card too he's got a 2471 01:55:51,280 --> 01:55:53,800 card come on up you're up I have a card 2472 01:55:53,800 --> 01:55:57,079 too you're coming to everybody L under 2473 01:55:57,079 --> 01:55:58,480 agenda 2474 01:55:58,480 --> 01:56:01,079 yeah you're 2475 01:56:01,079 --> 01:56:05,119 covered this is just one 2476 01:56:05,119 --> 01:56:08,159 frustrating uh I believe it was was it 2477 01:56:08,159 --> 01:56:10,679 Mr Warner that asked who closed 2478 01:56:10,679 --> 01:56:13,880 to well the way name name an address oh 2479 01:56:13,880 --> 01:56:15,480 Oliver muhammd 2480 01:56:15,480 --> 01:56:18,679 2640 um I got a new address I forgot my 2481 01:56:18,679 --> 01:56:22,599 address Mercury Mercury Drive 2482 01:56:22,599 --> 01:56:26,599 um the way Mr Tanish described it was 2483 01:56:26,599 --> 01:56:28,960 close but not the 2484 01:56:28,960 --> 01:56:34,119 way we see it we saw it as far as far as 2485 01:56:34,119 --> 01:56:36,639 the city of Coco's 2486 01:56:36,639 --> 01:56:39,599 participation in this whole Affair you 2487 01:56:39,599 --> 01:56:43,159 see first of all the city of Coco closed 2488 01:56:43,159 --> 01:56:48,079 that Crossing down ever so often for 2489 01:56:48,079 --> 01:56:49,960 maintenance this time time when they 2490 01:56:49,960 --> 01:56:52,639 closed it for maintenance when the time 2491 01:56:52,639 --> 01:56:56,639 for maintenance was up it stayed 2492 01:56:56,639 --> 01:57:00,280 closed and we found out later 2493 01:57:00,280 --> 01:57:04,000 by uh researching the communications 2494 01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:07,079 back and forth that the reason why they 2495 01:57:07,079 --> 01:57:10,119 didn't uh they they were not on time 2496 01:57:10,119 --> 01:57:13,560 with with with opening opening it back 2497 01:57:13,560 --> 01:57:15,599 up after the maintenance period is 2498 01:57:15,599 --> 01:57:19,960 because they didn't want to open it 2499 01:57:19,960 --> 01:57:21,320 up 2500 01:57:21,320 --> 01:57:25,400 again so when he said that when when Mr 2501 01:57:25,400 --> 01:57:27,679 Tan says that the city of Coco didn't 2502 01:57:27,679 --> 01:57:31,079 have anything to do with it based on the 2503 01:57:31,079 --> 01:57:33,800 communications that we read that went on 2504 01:57:33,800 --> 01:57:38,480 between the city of Coco under uh Mr 2505 01:57:38,480 --> 01:57:40,639 Tan's leadership at that 2506 01:57:40,639 --> 01:57:43,360 time they actually 2507 01:57:43,360 --> 01:57:46,400 invited the railroad to come and look at 2508 01:57:46,400 --> 01:57:49,400 this station the rail he it is true that 2509 01:57:49,400 --> 01:57:53,000 during that time FEC was actively 2510 01:57:53,000 --> 01:57:56,440 aggressively looking for stations that 2511 01:57:56,440 --> 01:57:58,960 they could close because they wanted to 2512 01:57:58,960 --> 01:58:02,000 reduce some expenses like other 2513 01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:03,880 businesses but they 2514 01:58:03,880 --> 01:58:06,800 didn't they didn't come to this spot 2515 01:58:06,800 --> 01:58:09,320 until they were invited to this spot and 2516 01:58:09,320 --> 01:58:12,960 I guess after being in invited here it 2517 01:58:12,960 --> 01:58:15,280 probably looked attractive to them and 2518 01:58:15,280 --> 01:58:18,920 then the process what for closure uh 2519 01:58:18,920 --> 01:58:21,119 began 2520 01:58:21,119 --> 01:58:24,520 but see our point is that the 2521 01:58:24,520 --> 01:58:28,079 citizens in that Community wanted that 2522 01:58:28,079 --> 01:58:29,599 street to stay 2523 01:58:29,599 --> 01:58:34,079 open and and we felt that the city 2524 01:58:34,079 --> 01:58:35,880 betrayed 2525 01:58:35,880 --> 01:58:38,760 us because they wanted that Street 2526 01:58:38,760 --> 01:58:40,079 closed 2527 01:58:40,079 --> 01:58:44,960 then for the same reason they are being 2528 01:58:44,960 --> 01:58:48,639 opportunistic now at the closure and 2529 01:58:48,639 --> 01:58:52,199 that is they wanted that 2530 01:58:52,199 --> 01:58:54,960 Frontage because at that time it was it 2531 01:58:54,960 --> 01:58:58,040 was not a convenience store it was a 2532 01:58:58,040 --> 01:59:00,560 drugstore that they wanted to put out 2533 01:59:00,560 --> 01:59:05,119 there and it all tied nicely together 2534 01:59:05,119 --> 01:59:07,800 but somehow the business the the deal 2535 01:59:07,800 --> 01:59:11,639 with the drugstore fell through but the 2536 01:59:11,639 --> 01:59:14,840 point the point is it was initiated by 2537 01:59:14,840 --> 01:59:16,159 the city of 2538 01:59:16,159 --> 01:59:19,719 Coco and they betrayed our community 2539 01:59:19,719 --> 01:59:22,280 this street is a good Street there was 2540 01:59:22,280 --> 01:59:24,800 no legitimate reason to close that 2541 01:59:24,800 --> 01:59:29,400 street and even after closure the next 2542 01:59:29,400 --> 01:59:32,280 Council promised us they was going to do 2543 01:59:32,280 --> 01:59:34,520 everything that they could to get it 2544 01:59:34,520 --> 01:59:37,320 open again because opening it was 2545 01:59:37,320 --> 01:59:39,599 possible but they didn't follow through 2546 01:59:39,599 --> 01:59:42,040 on their promise like they never follow 2547 01:59:42,040 --> 01:59:43,960 through on their promise M mam thank you 2548 01:59:43,960 --> 01:59:47,239 I'm sorry at time we I hear you loud and 2549 01:59:47,239 -->

02:00:01,040 think 2553 02:00:01,040 --> 02:00:04,000 it's this and I'll pass this down this 2554 02:00:04,000 --> 02:00:08,079 is a letter from FBC April 23rd 2002 it 2555 02:00:08,079 -->

meeting my goal is to visit all 2561 02:00:19,560 --> 02:00:21,440 local municipalities the railway goes 2562 02:00:21,440 --> 02:00:24,360 through within the year uh and they they 2563 02:00:24,360 --> 02:00:28,079 and they go in talking about how their plans and it dis does go on to 2564 02:00:28,079 --> 02:00:29,800 discuss Stone Street the city did not 2565 02:00:29,800 --> 02:00:32,760 initiate any communication with FC Mr 2566 02:00:32,760 --> 02:00:35,760 stone with FC came to the city and then 2567 02:00:35,760 --> 02:00:38,679 in October 2007 it 2568 02:00:38,679 --> 02:00:43,520 was uh in October 2007 it was Council 2569 02:00:43,520 --> 02:00:45,719 that directed staff and Council 2570 02:00:45,719 --> 02:00:47,719 contacted you know with the mayor's 2571 02:00:47,719 --> 02:00:49,199 leadership the then mayor leadership 2572 02:00:49,199 --> 02:00:52,440 ship to seek to reopen it and then in 2573 02:00:52,440 --> 02:00:55,520 here's the letter in 2003

represent Miss Crum as uh Chris 2903 02:15:47,040 --> 02:15:48,520 broom said 2904 02:15:48,520 --> 02:15:51,360 um again reiterating a bit what 2905 02:15:51,360 --> 02:15:52,960 everybody was saying we weren't around 2906 02:15:52,960 --> 02:15:54,880 for this for the closure or the the 2907 02:15:54,880 --> 02:15:58,159 blocking of the Road by FEC having I'm a 2908 02:15:58,159 --> 02:15:59,599 board certified real estate lawyer I've 2909 02:15:59,599 --> 02:16:01,040 been practicing in this County for 21 2910 02:16:01,040 --> 02:16:03,599 years have dealt with FEC quite a bit 2911 02:16:03,599 --> 02:16:07,159 and when FEC digs their heels in there's no change in their mind it's 2912 02:16:07,159 --> 02:16:08,800 just not going to happen so the question 2913 02:16:08,800 --> 02:16:10,960 for the city is are we going to provide 2914 02:16:10,960 --> 02:16:13,400 you know continue with the status quo um 2915 02:16:13,400 --> 02:16:15,719 property as is are we going to try to go 2916 02:16:15,719 --> 02:16:17,199 through and beat our heads against the 2917 02:16:17,199 --> 02:16:19,599 wall and try to get them to reopen it um 2918 02:16:19,599 --> 02:16:21,520 that's certainly your prerogative um I 2919 02:16:21,520 --> 02:16:22,800 think it would be a waste of time and 2920 02:16:22,800 --> 02:16:25,719 money um and in addition um just to put 2921 02:16:25,719 --> 02:16:27,960 a local ownership on Miss Crum has been 2922 02:16:27,960 --> 02:16:32,639 a resident and business owner in this city for many many years lost her 2923 02:16:32,639 --> 02:16:35,960 husband last year um and she's ready to 2924 02:16:35,960 --> 02:16:38,240 um quit being a landlord and so she has 2925 02:16:38,240 --> 02:16:40,880 agreed to sell the property to the the 2926 02:16:40,880 --> 02:16:43,040 applicants um and she's in full 2927 02:16:43,040 --> 02:16:44,719 agreement that the the the Stone Street 2928 02:16:44,719 --> 02:16:47,080 be closed the biggest reason or the 2929 02:16:47,080 --> 02:16:48,240 biggest legal reason reason why I think 2930 02:16:48,240 --> 02:16:51,080 you ought to approve this Mr kid canich 2931 02:16:51,080 --> 02:16:52,800 mentioned it um when he was talking 2932 02:16:52,800 --> 02:16:53,679 about the 2933 02:16:53,679 --> 02:16:55,639 agreement regardless of what the 2934 02:16:55,639 --> 02:16:57,000 agreement was in the stipulated three 2935 02:16:57,000 --> 02:17:00,240 years um which is long since passed um 2936 02:17:00,240 --> 02:17:03,200 FEC in 2002 apparently met Do's criteria 2937 02:17:03,200 --> 02:17:05,559 for closure and and if you look at it 2938 02:17:05,559 --> 02:17:11,240 from a grand scheme of things that that road is way too close to 520 to 2939 02:17:11,240 --> 02:17:14,040 ever be reopened even if well I guess if 2940 02:17:14,040 --> 02:17:16,960 FBC asked for it it's possible but the 2941 02:17:16,960 --> 02:17:18,599 way that they're structuring it's almost 2942 02:17:18,599 --> 02:17:20,599 it's really the way D is operating as 2943 02:17:20,599 --> 02:17:22,160 well with limited access highways it's 2944 02:17:22,160 --> 02:17:25,719 almost the same same thought process so 2945 02:17:25,719 --> 02:17:27,559 holding on to hope that there may 2946 02:17:27,559 --> 02:17:29,880 sometime in the future be a reopening I 2947 02:17:29,880 --> 02:17:31,599 think is shortsighted um I think it 2948 02:17:31,599 --> 02:17:33,519 would be a again a waste of the city's 2949 02:17:33,519 --> 02:17:36,880 uh assets and a waste of time um this 2950 02:17:36,880 --> 02:17:38,760 development is going to have to meet all 2951 02:17:38,760 --> 02:17:41,000 City standards with regard to uh 2952 02:17:41,000 --> 02:17:44,399 drainage access everything um it would 2953 02:17:44,399 --> 02:17:46,160 freshen up that corner which my 2954 02:17:46,160 --> 02:17:48,439 understanding 520 in US1 is if it's not 2955 02:17:48,439 --> 02:17:50,559 the busiest it's the two top two or 2956 02:17:50,559 --> 02:17:52,319 three busiest in the county as far as 2957 02:17:52,319 --> 02:17:54,240 traffic so as far as entrance into the 2958 02:17:54,240 --> 02:17:57,439 city as far as a view of the city um it 2959 02:17:57,439 --> 02:18:00,120 would really create a a much a much more 2960 02:18:00,120 --> 02:18:02,800 aesthetically pleasing area um with 2961 02:18:02,800 --> 02:18:04,800 regard to the the residents again 2962 02:18:04,800 --> 02:18:05,719 they're they're not technically 2963 02:18:05,719 --> 02:18:08,439 permitted to cross that as it is now um 2964

put 3245 02:32:38,399 --> 02:32:41,600 together as in March we had the major 3246 02:32:41,600 --> 02:32:44,760 fish kill indicating again our in River 3247 02:32:44,760 --> 02:32:46,760 Lagoon is very sick 3248 02:32:46,760 --> 02:32:48,960 and it's going to take a lot of money to 3249 02:32:48,960 --> 02:32:52,160 fix it and the fact is we're not getting 3250 02:32:52,160 --> 02:32:54,399 it a sustainable amount of Revenue 3251 02:32:54,399 --> 02:32:55,880 coming in from the state we do get some 3252 02:32:55,880 --> 02:32:58,319 money and it's well used and well 3253 02:32:58,319 --> 02:33:01,000 appreciated but we need a long-term plan 3254 02:33:01,000 --> 02:33:04,960 so in April I uh spoke with our County 3255 02:33:04,960 --> 02:33:06,479 attorneys and came up I want to know 3256 02:33:06,479 --> 02:33:08,399 what a funding source we could do a 3257 02:33:08,399 --> 02:33:10,040 sustainable source as a 3258 02:33:10,040 --> 02:33:12,680 county and it came back and it could be 3259 02:33:12,680 --> 02:33:15,760 either a uh a property tax or at the 3260 02:33:15,760 --> 02:33:18,080 time and half cent sales tax was 3261 02:33:18,080 --> 02:33:19,399 probably not going to be able to work 3262 02:33:19,399 --> 02:33:23,439 because of some infrastructure uh 3263 02:33:23,439 --> 02:33:26,040 definitions anyway going further we did 3264 02:33:26,040 --> 02:33:27,720 decide we could do the half cent sales 3265 02:33:27,720 --> 02:33:29,800 tax because of there's a precedent set 3266 02:33:29,800 --> 02:33:31,319 between our comprehensive plan and a 3267 02:33:31,319 --> 02:33:32,560 whole lot of other things that came in 3268 02:33:32,560 --> 02:33:34,279 place we have an opinion on 3269 02:33:34,279 --> 02:33:36,960 that so I I pushed it forward to bring 3270 02:33:36,960 --> 02:33:39,240 it to the County Commission to put this 3271 02:33:39,240 --> 02:33:42,120 on a ballot and let the voters decide 3272 02:33:42,120 --> 02:33:45,160 and uh in order to do that we had to 3273 02:33:45,160 --> 02:33:46,760 have a comprehensive plan we had to have 3274 02:33:46,760 --> 02:33:49,000 an oversight committee established and a 3275 02:33:49,000 --> 02:33:50,439 whole lot of other procedures in place 3276 02:33:50,439 --> 02:33:54,000 and we have all that so two weeks ago it 3277 02:33:54,000 --> 02:33:56,359 passed passed the County Commission to 3278 02:33:56,359 --> 02:33:58,680 put it on but we have to get R 3279 02:33:58,680 --> 02:34:00,560 ratification from the 3280 02:34:00,560 --> 02:34:04,640 cities and now it's um that's why I'm 3281 02:34:04,640 --> 02:34:06,720 here see if y'all will support the 3282 02:34:06,720 --> 02:34:11,920 county in this endeavor it is a major change and the way we do things 3283 02:34:11,920 --> 02:34:14,120 the most important thing is this is 3284 02:34:14,120 --> 02:34:16,840 going to be about $34 million a year 3285 02:34:16,840 --> 02:34:20,160 over 10 years $340 million that's a lot 3286 02:34:20,160 --> 02:34:22,880 of money but what's important about this 3287 02:34:22,880 --> 02:34:24,560 is this money can be used as matching 3288 02:34:24,560 --> 02:34:26,640 funds with state and federal 3289 02:34:26,640 --> 02:34:31,160 dollars and that shows this passes if 3290 02:34:31,160 --> 02:34:32,920 this passes which I if it does it's 3291 02:34:32,920 --> 02:34:35,520 going to pass probably say 75% of the 3292 02:34:35,520 --> 02:34:37,640 voters it put makes a message to to 3293 02:34:37,640 --> 02:34:39,640 Tallahassee that hey the people in this
