as a community and as a nation.

Please watch over our residents, Lord, our city and employees, and all who serve and protect

8
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,040

57
00:04:59,870 --> 00:05:01,950
Internet surveillance likes to discuss this.

00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,520

66
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:28,000
This is a time for the audience to address the city commission on anything that's not on our regular agenda.

67
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,920
What anyone would like to come address the commission at this time.

68
00:05:32,740 --> 00:05:34,900
You a first miss to the Gary, and then you'll be second.

69
00:05:34,900 --> 00:05:35,900
Jim

70
00:05:44,900 --> 00:05:47,720
Legary, 342 Burley,

71
00:05:49,910 --> 00:05:58,070
Brian, may you have a long and prosperous tenure, thank you.

72
00:05:59,850 --> 00:06:11,890
I'm complaining. I drove down Ridgewood the other day and our people were blowing grass

73
00:06:11,890 --> 00:06:13,890
into the street.

74
00:06:16,530 --> 00:06:20,730
I thought that we had done something about that.

75
00:06:21,690 --> 00:06:25,410
They were reprimanded and corrective action has taken place.

76
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:38,500
Is there a way that we could further inhibit the local entrepreneurs that cut grass so

77
00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:45,560
that we could have obliged them to put bags on their mowers.

78
00:06:49,890 --> 00:06:51,210
I thought they did already.

79
00:06:53,590 --> 00:07:02,530
Because there is one that I see, the private long barbers all blow it in the street.

80
00:07:04,860 --> 00:07:05,800
Well, may I round?

81
00:07:06,780 --> 00:07:07,500
One of the...

82
00:07:08,180 --> 00:07:10,880
We'll answer the questions at the end of public comments.

83
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,740
Okay, that's it for me.

84
00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:16,340
Thank you.

85
00:07:16,580 --> 00:07:17,060
Good

86
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,620
evening, Mike Serbo, City of Hollywood.

87
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,560
I have a concern, as usual.

88
00:07:37,070 --> 00:07:40,430
This is regarding 12.45, Richwood Avenue.

89
00:07:42,220 --> 00:07:47,550
Make you aware that it was recorded in 2007.

90
00:07:47,910 --> 00:07:51,050
The deed identifies as 12.45,

91
00:07:51,050 --> 00:07:54,990
five, Ridgewood Avenue, as homestead property.

92
00:07:56,170 --> 00:08:03,390
I have paperwork here, I'd like to put on file, there's 70 pages, I'll hand that over to the city clerk.

93
00:08:05,950 --> 00:08:13,710
I'm asking for a factual review of the city records due to the lineup of validation of history.

94
00:08:13,710 --> 00:08:23,250
First, the city master shows on April 4, 2022, in a deep resolve filed six violations.

95
00:08:23,710 --> 00:08:25,790
Lean open case closed.

96
00:08:26,130 --> 00:08:31,050
Brian Walker later signed the sworn app of David, saying the violation still exists and

97
00:08:31,050 --> 00:08:34,110
it finds continued at $300 a day.

98
00:08:34,870 --> 00:08:43,370
So I'm asking for what date that was resolved and meant for what records supported.

99
00:08:43,370 --> 00:08:45,030
the fines to continue.

100
00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:52,900
In 2021, the water contained seven daily fine categories.

101
00:08:53,200 --> 00:09:02,420
The January, 2022 lean and the later city displayed carried six electrical system

102
00:09:02,420 --> 00:09:04,800
hazards is missing from the category.

103
00:09:06,430 --> 00:09:08,220
So the numbers aren't matching.

104
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,200
Third, the judgment was $346,450.

105
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:21,920
the commission later approved that agreement limiting the city's net revenue sale to 115,000.

106
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,480
Please state what the city is going to receive, retain, credit it, and

107
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,520
re-emitted, and the balance that remains, if any.

108
00:09:30,180 --> 00:09:41,500
Fourth, on August 25th, minutes show that city manager Joe Forte asked whether if he needed approval to bid on this property.

109
00:09:42,850 --> 00:10:12,210
Yes, the Pouch of Attorney, City Attorney, fifth, an execution of record points to book 87, 57, page two, eight, two, two, but the instrument at the location is separate of $0.723 and $0.60 in legal fees, which is a lien, which I'm not saying that it's invalid for the sale, but I'm asking for the records.

110
00:10:12,210 --> 00:10:12,790
of that.

111
00:10:14,890 --> 00:10:23,610
Finally, is the city pursuing this woman's other property, 152, Ridgewood Avenue

112
00:10:24,510 --> 00:10:30,090
because of the matter at 12.45 because she sold it for less.

113
00:10:32,460 --> 00:10:33,180
And these are questions.

114
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,360
She's a very sick woman.

115
00:10:36,430 --> 00:10:40,030
I'm trying to help relocate her. They'd find home for her cats

116
00:10:42,580 --> 00:10:43,960
through a lady out of her house.

117
00:10:46,710 --> 00:10:48,610
I'd like to submit it to the City Clerk, please.

118
00:10:50,490 --> 00:10:51,130
Thank you, Mike.

119
00:10:59,110 --> 00:11:02,330
Also, we do have a, it appears your time is up, sir.

120
00:11:02,490 --> 00:11:02,710
Okay.

121
00:11:03,190 --> 00:11:03,570
Thank you.

122
00:11:06,130 --> 00:11:08,190
Any else from the audience like to address the commission?

123
00:11:08,730 --> 00:11:09,110
Yes, ma'am?

124
00:11:12,260 --> 00:11:13,640
John, do you have a bell over there?

125
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:21,900
This is a supplemental petition, or I'm sorry,

126
00:11:22,060 --> 00:11:23,280
it's a supplemental to Mike's service.

127
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:24,940
You might have, excuse me, excuse me.

128
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:26,860
You might be pulling Mike down, there you go.

129
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:27,200
Thank you.

130
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,340
This is a supplemental to Mike's service submission,

131
00:11:29,340 --> 00:11:32,560
and adds only new information discovered after his packet was prepared.

132
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:45,180
On September 8th, 2026, the Volusia County Sheriff Recorded Instrument, 2026-164-188-book 8901, page 4706, titled Release of Levy.

133
00:11:46,000 --> 00:12:00,660
Concerning 1, 2, 4, 5, Ridgewood Avenue, and this same execution case, the document releases the Sheriff's Levy that had been placed against Miss Young's right title and interest in 1, 2, 4, 5.

134
00:12:00,660 --> 00:12:10,280
This is not a sheriff's deed, it names no purchaser, states no purchase price, gives no reason for the release and does not state that the judgment was satisfied.

135
00:12:10,900 --> 00:12:15,520
Because this occurred after Mike's packet was repaired, I am asking the city only three new questions.

136
00:12:16,260 --> 00:12:29,560
First, did the city, city of attorney, or anyone acting for the city, request, authorize, approve, consent to or otherwise communicate with the sheriff concerning this release of levy.

137
00:12:29,560 --> 00:12:34,820
Second, what did the sheriff communicate to the city about why the levy was released

138
00:12:34,820 --> 00:12:38,240
or what occurred with the September 1 execution sale?

139
00:12:39,100 --> 00:12:45,920
Third, what execution action, if any, does the city now intend to take against 1, 2, 4,

140
00:12:46,060 --> 00:12:47,680
5 after this levy was released?

141
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:54,680
I am not asking the city for bitter, deed, payment, return of execution or serve distribution

142
00:12:54,680 --> 00:12:55,120
records.

143
00:12:55,540 --> 00:12:57,780
Those records are outside the city supplement.

144
00:12:57,780 --> 00:13:02,880
But please add this official instrument in these three release specific questions to

145
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,840
view the written reconciliation already requested.

146
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:06,600
Thank you.

147
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:07,800
Thank you.

148
00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:27,400
Anyone else from the audience like to address the commission?

149
00:13:29,660 --> 00:13:31,820
So we'll go ahead and close public comments.

150
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,100
May I have a moment, please mayor?

151
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,820
I just need to make some comments to public comments.

152
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:38,040
Okay.

153
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:52,320
I don't know if the better person to answer my questions is going to be Mr. Walker or Mr. Simpson so you choose who is better suited.

154
00:13:53,040 --> 00:14:06,560
I would like a quick, very quick synopsis of when this case started, what proceeded through and what happened once it was resolved.

155
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:19,220
And another thing I have is, Jonathan, I'm sure that you'll be able to go back and listen for all those records request and we'll provide them under state statute as required.

156
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:20,660
Okay.

157
00:14:21,460 --> 00:14:28,100
Well, I can give you a very quick synopsis of really what happened out at 12.45.

158
00:14:28,100 --> 00:14:39,340
would have in a tropical gables, the property was cited for numerous violations of not just

159
00:14:39,340 --> 00:14:43,040
the International Property Maintenance Code, but also the Florida Building Code.

160
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:48,280
There were dangerous circumstances with regard to plumbing, with regard to electrical,

161
00:14:49,020 --> 00:14:52,640
and then there were various violations of the International Property Maintenance Code.

162
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:59,840
Some of the violations with the property maintenance code, for example, two of them are referred to.

163
00:15:00,300 --> 00:15:30,220
26-61-11, which had to do with trash, and then 26-61-2, which also had to do with trash and littering. Those are fairly easy things to clean up, and so those were removed at a particular time because they were dealt with. It was easier to clean up trash. The more difficult things to deal with are things that are the electrical and the plumbing and those persisted. So the property went to the special master back on

164
00:15:30,220 --> 00:15:35,400
July 22nd of 2021, is when it went to the special master.

165
00:15:35,860 --> 00:15:41,820
The special master heard the case and the special master put on the property,

166
00:15:42,220 --> 00:15:44,980
finds for the various violations.

167
00:15:46,290 --> 00:15:58,300
Through the years, we tried to help Miss Young, we call her Miss Kim to bring the property into compliance.

168
00:15:58,300 --> 00:16:08,300
We helped her to get a contractor who would be able to look at what needed to be done,

169
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:15,020
how much was that going to cost, and the amount that was needed in order to bring the property into compliance

170
00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:18,500
exceeded what she felt that she had available.

171
00:16:19,260 --> 00:16:22,420
In the meantime, things continued to deteriorate.

172
00:16:22,420 --> 00:16:27,680
The issue was not being resolved so after a period of years,

173
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:37,140
the decision was made to try to get a judgment based on what was owed in the leans.

174
00:16:38,860 --> 00:16:41,180
She was represented by an attorney.

175
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:47,100
She had other folks who represented her and this went to the court system in Volusia County.

176
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:52,200
So outside of this special master, it went to the actual court system.

177
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,140
I was there for two of the hearings as was the city attorney.

178
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:05,900
One of the things that the judge wanted to make clear was that she was of a clear mind that she understood what was being said to her.

179
00:17:06,620 --> 00:17:09,840
And the judge came to the conclusion that she did.

180
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:21,780
This was something that took place, I believe the going through the court system was at least, I would say, a year or so.

181
00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:23,260
Longer than that.

182
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,900
This was not a quick thing going through the court system.

183
00:17:28,580 --> 00:17:38,080
Eventually, the judgment was given with regard to the leans and then even then, working

184
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,240
with the sheriff's office, the sheriff's office have their own legal team.

185
00:17:42,940 --> 00:17:47,520
And their legal team went through everything with a fine tooth comb.

186
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:53,960
In fact, that kind of delayed the forward momentum of what was happening because of how careful

187
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,180
the sheriff's office was.

188
00:17:55,180 --> 00:18:06,620
So, eventually, the time came that the sheriff was able to say, okay, we can sell the property

189
00:18:07,180 --> 00:18:10,140
and the property went up for bid.

190
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:17,460
And so, there were folks who bid on it and it eventually sold for $225,000.

191
00:18:17,660 --> 00:18:22,600
But I think the thing to emphasize is that this has been something that took place

192
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:29,020
over the course of many years. She was not left without representation. She had an attorney.

193
00:18:29,420 --> 00:18:33,560
Her attorney was happy with the result. He said that she was happy with the result.

194
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:41,380
She willingly signed the agreement. The city could have taken all $225,000. We were entitled

195
00:18:41,380 --> 00:18:46,600
to the $225,000. Because it was $340,000.

196
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:53,580
It was, it was well over somewhere around there, but you as a commission took what could

197
00:18:53,580 --> 00:18:58,760
be called a merciful step in saying, okay, we're going to restrict how much the city takes.

198
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,720
You restricted, when you could have taken everything, you restricted it to 115,000.

199
00:19:04,220 --> 00:19:10,120
She was, she was happy that she got over $100,000 signed off on that agreement.

200
00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:19,160
She signed off on it, she signed off on it, her attorney felt that she was of right state of mind and she willingly did so and she was happy with the result.

201
00:19:19,620 --> 00:19:23,720
I just have two other quick questions. Thank you for that quick breakdown.

202
00:19:25,980 --> 00:19:31,420
Did we ask to bid on that? We did, didn't we?

203
00:19:31,980 --> 00:19:33,640
And why did we do that?

204
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:40,140
We started the bid the the city stopped started and stopped the bid at $50,000 and

205
00:19:40,660 --> 00:19:45,260
That was kind of to to get the ball rolling. I thought that night

206
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,440
Mr. Forte explained

207
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,980
After he asked Mr. Simpson about it that it was to kind of get the ball rolling

208
00:19:53,980 --> 00:19:58,500
We don't want to bid too high because we don't really want that

209
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,120
We're not trying to get in the business of owning property

210
00:20:04,300 --> 00:20:19,960
And the last question I have, because I still have no idea who the, well, you told me the name, but I don't know who the company is, who anything is, did we know this party, whether it's a developer, whatever business he's in, did we know who that was?

211
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:32,400
I have no idea who he was, I've never met him before, and being there with Joe Forte, I didn't get the indication that he knew him either.

212
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,200
There was no indication they didn't act like they knew each other.

213
00:20:36,500 --> 00:20:41,060
And I think you and I spoke because I wanted to kind of know where this was.

214
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:48,320
I think we spoke yesterday during our meeting a little bit, you gave me the run down.

215
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,900
That you did have a phone call with Mr. Searbone on Friday, correct?

216
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,500
Was that stuff covered in that call?

217
00:20:54,740 --> 00:20:57,820
I had an hour and a half phone call with Mr. Servo.

218
00:20:58,140 --> 00:21:00,500
So I would have thought that would have resolved the issue.

219
00:21:00,500 --> 00:21:09,140
Just left, but yes, so I had an hour and a half phone call with him and we I'm sorry you're still here.

220
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,620
I apologize and we did talk about this.

221
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:20,980
We went over everything that had been done the process and so I'm going to thank you.

222
00:21:22,420 --> 00:21:23,500
She's not happy.

223
00:21:23,820 --> 00:21:28,200
She's sick with cancer and dying and she's probably going to lose her other property too.

224
00:21:28,780 --> 00:21:37,200
I mean, it's possibly, what you're saying by she's happy with what she's got is not a true statement.

225
00:21:38,360 --> 00:21:40,280
I mean, I don't know where that comes from, but-

226
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,040
I'm just conveying what her attorney mentioned to us.

227
00:21:44,780 --> 00:21:48,380
No, no, public comments is closed, ma'am.

228
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,620
Public comments are closed.

229
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,740
Public comments are closed, ma'am.

230
00:21:59,300 --> 00:22:01,860
So, Walter Snell, it was her attorney.

231
00:22:01,860 --> 00:22:03,000
Okay, thank you.

232
00:22:04,260 --> 00:22:08,520
Ma'am, could you please contain yourself?

233
00:22:08,980 --> 00:22:09,400
Absolutely.

234
00:22:09,740 --> 00:22:10,220
Thank you.

235
00:22:11,740 --> 00:22:15,260
So, Jonathan, there were several technical questions asked.

236
00:22:16,180 --> 00:22:18,140
I would consider those public records requests.

237
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,440
So, if you could go back and listen to the minutes recording from tonight,

238
00:22:22,740 --> 00:22:26,920
and answer those individually from both the people that made very specific questions.

239
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,340
Because I think if we try to answer any of those very specific questions right now,

240
00:22:30,340 --> 00:22:35,340
We might not get it right, so what would you say, Scott?

241
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,460
I'm going to say one thing is public records, they ask for public records,

242
00:22:39,620 --> 00:22:41,340
they extend we have public records, we'll give those.

243
00:22:42,420 --> 00:22:44,520
We don't answer questions on public records request.

244
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:46,280
Thank you.

245
00:22:49,180 --> 00:22:50,640
Taylor and something else tonight.

246
00:22:51,260 --> 00:22:52,260
Three things today.

247
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,800
And we started the process in February of 2024.

248
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:07,760
for. And we went to the court three times and the judge gave her opportunities to submit

249
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:15,300
plans to the city to rehab the property and did not want to proceed and with it. And

250
00:23:15,300 --> 00:23:20,140
the city had given her many opportunities to correct the property, tried to work with

251
00:23:20,140 --> 00:23:25,280
her, and the judge did the same thing. And I think of the second to last hearing, he said,

252
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:30,440
I can't hold the city off much longer, they are entitled to what they want to do.

253
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,160
Please respond to them, get together with them, and try to work with them.

254
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:37,260
Not to happen.

255
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,460
And ultimately, either we leave the property that way, or we have to go to the next step.

256
00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:44,340
So, thank you.

257
00:23:45,220 --> 00:23:50,940
So now we move to item 4, which is approval of the minutes of the August 25th, 2026 regular city commission meeting.

258
00:23:51,620 --> 00:23:53,060
Motion to approve the minutes.

259
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,920
I was going to say, now that's not a difficult one to get a second on.

260
00:24:00,300 --> 00:24:02,180
I'll in favour signify by saying aye.

261
00:24:02,620 --> 00:24:02,800
Aye.

262
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:03,560
Any opposed?

263
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:04,920
Carried unanimously.

264
00:24:05,820 --> 00:24:09,140
Now I'll move to item 5 which is at the consent agenda and the action proposed is stated

265
00:24:09,140 --> 00:24:13,520
for each item on the consent agenda unless the city commission removes an item from the consent

266
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:13,980
agenda.

267
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,320
No discussion on individual items will occur and a single motion will approve all items.

268
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,300
Is there anyone in the audience who wishes to speak on any item on the consent agenda?

269
00:24:24,750 --> 00:24:25,530
Seeing none.

270
00:24:25,530 --> 00:24:27,390
I'll entertain a motion for approval.

271
00:24:27,610 --> 00:24:28,110
Just one second.

272
00:24:29,110 --> 00:24:36,970
Do we talk about that, Brian, in the office, the pedestrian, bicycle safety, how does it really, I don't remember talking about that.

273
00:24:37,190 --> 00:24:41,210
I can, if you'd like, I can, give you a quick summary of the way.

274
00:24:41,210 --> 00:24:41,730
It's a grant.

275
00:24:42,550 --> 00:24:46,930
That's, oh, that's the grant, oh, $5,000, yeah, okay, okay, okay, thanks.

276
00:24:47,350 --> 00:24:49,730
I thought maybe the word grant would refresh your memory.

277
00:24:50,830 --> 00:24:51,730
Thanks, appreciate it.

278
00:24:51,730 --> 00:24:57,970
Okay, so do you need to pull an item from the consent agenda, is the Commission want to pull it or we want to approve the consent agenda?

279
00:24:58,410 --> 00:25:00,410
I'll make a motion to approve.

280
00:25:02,010 --> 00:25:02,530
Second.

281
00:25:03,650 --> 00:25:05,650
All those in favor signify by saying aye.

282
00:25:06,030 --> 00:25:06,290
Aye.

283
00:25:06,630 --> 00:25:06,970
Any opposed?

284
00:25:07,610 --> 00:25:08,410
Carried to unanimously.

285
00:25:09,450 --> 00:25:13,230
We will now move to item six, which is a regular agenda.

286
00:25:13,450 --> 00:25:14,030
Mayor, sorry, real quick.

287
00:25:14,630 --> 00:25:21,610
I think we failed Mr. Lagerity because we got wrapped up in the 1245 Ridgewood we didn't answer.

288
00:25:21,610 --> 00:25:27,050
for his question about the grass clippings and the company being noticed.

289
00:25:27,930 --> 00:25:31,070
I'm sorry, I just remembered we didn't answer his question.

290
00:25:31,230 --> 00:25:32,890
Looking out for you even to the end.

291
00:25:33,390 --> 00:25:38,790
There was a campaign several years ago, St. John's Water Management has the campaign to try and

292
00:25:38,790 --> 00:25:40,550
keep things out of the river.

293
00:25:41,690 --> 00:25:47,430
I know a couple years ago, the city commission and the city did an active campaign.

294
00:25:47,430 --> 00:25:56,490
We put it in water bills, nothing worse than riding a motorcycle or a bicycle down the street when someone just put their grass clippings in a range and you wipe out.

295
00:25:57,630 --> 00:26:02,410
And so maybe we can look at putting some public information out in the water bills.

296
00:26:02,650 --> 00:26:05,990
Holly Hill happening news letter, we could put something in there.

297
00:26:07,590 --> 00:26:09,670
Yes, we'll get on that, this is not here.

298
00:26:09,850 --> 00:26:10,670
We'll get something out.

299
00:26:11,110 --> 00:26:11,810
Sorry mayor.

300
00:26:12,530 --> 00:26:12,930
That's okay.

301
00:26:13,530 --> 00:26:14,650
You're very welcome, sorry.

302
00:26:15,570 --> 00:26:21,370
Now we'll move to our regular agenda, which is 2026-R-54.

303
00:26:21,970 --> 00:26:27,570
Resolution number 2026-R-54 by title only for personally reading.

304
00:26:27,990 --> 00:26:32,050
Resolution of the City Commission of City of Hollywood, Florida waiving the formal bid procedure,

305
00:26:32,050 --> 00:26:38,290
approving the change order in the amount of $16,000 to move funds from completed commission chamber,

306
00:26:38,290 --> 00:27:01,890
for Audio Video Upgrades Project 26BGO2 into Fleet Bay Door Replacement Project 26BGO3 and awarding the Fleet Bay Door Replacement Project to overhead door company at a total cost of $53,730 and authorizing the city manager to execute the same for providing for severability and providing for an effective date.

307
00:27:01,890 --> 00:27:03,530
Any questions of staff?

308
00:27:05,610 --> 00:27:08,030
Any from the audience like to talk about this issue?

309
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,400
Seeing none, close audience participation, entertain the motion for approval.

310
00:27:14,340 --> 00:27:15,520
Motion to approve.

311
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,860
Any discussion needed amongst the commission?

312
00:27:21,260 --> 00:27:23,440
All those in favor signify by saying aye.

313
00:27:24,980 --> 00:27:25,360
Any opposed?

314
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:26,100
Chair unanimously.

315
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,680
Now we'll move to 2026-R-55.

316
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:30,900
5.

376
00:31:36,430 --> 00:31:45,030
that came to the workshop earlier and we do genuinely want a fix to that problem as

377
00:31:45,030 --> 00:31:52,990
well. I think you could hear the consensus in the room. I will be unable to attend the

00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:33,800
If you remember last year we had apples and honey during the mid and that's to celebrate

390
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:42,380
a sweet and something good. It should come next year. Thank you, Jamie. You're the best.

391
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:50,840
I really appreciate when somebody steps up to fill up position. It's not always easy to get these

392
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:59,760
positions available. And moving with the cop is next week. Thursday, April 8th. And that's it.

393
00:33:00,900 --> 00:33:07,520
Thank you. So there's a lot of things coming up in the next six weeks in our city. There's

394
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,560
flyers right in front of utility billing, got a movie with the cop, then we've got a blues

395
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:20,460
concert. I don't know what else we got. We got the 125th celebration, what car show?

396
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:33,960
National

397
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:38,760

The mayor's golf tournament benefiting the food bridge pantry is this Saturday.

399
00:33:43,660 --> 00:33:46,720
Thank you to many that have made financial contributions.

400
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:54,180
That little food pantry distributed over $1.5 million of food to our local community last year.

401
00:33:54,420 --> 00:33:55,220
So it's amazing.

402
00:33:56,420 --> 00:34:03,480
And when you do the dollar amount on that, it's almost four times that in dollars that go

403
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:09,240
out to the community, so there's no paid employee with that organization, it's all volunteers,

404
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,360
and they just do a great job, so I'm glad they're here.

405
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,640
So without anything further, we will stand adjourned.
