[4:36] >> Good evening. Mayor

[4:37] Commissioners, Carrie Baker,

[4:38] executive director of U.S.

[4:38] Chamber of Commerce, the

[4:39] largest and oldest business

[4:43] organization in Key West. We

[4:44] recognize repairing the city

[4:45] budget is difficult and we

[4:45] appreciate the considerable

[4:47] time and effort that city

[4:48] staff he's put into this

[4:48] year's budget and bring it

[4:52] forward at rollback. We also

[4:53] recognize that as property

[4:54] values continue to increase

[4:55] the size of the budget is

[4:57] increased as well. That makes

[4:57] the decisions before the

[4:59] commission extremely

[5:00] important. He west businesses

[5:01] are ready are already under

[5:04] tremendous financial pressure.

[5:05] They are among the city's

[5:06] largest taxpayers while also

[5:07] facing county taxes precinct

[5:11] these higher wages rising

[5:12] operating costs, inflation and

[5:15] rapidly increasing insurance

[5:16] expenses, every additional tax

[5:18] fee or ongoing expense has an

[5:19] impact. Don't whether a

[5:22] business remain here, hire

[5:24] employees. Invest and

[5:24] importantly continue

[5:26] contributing to our local

[5:27] economy at this point. The

[5:27] right response ability rest

[5:30] with the commission to weigh

[5:32] the competing priorities and

[5:32] make difficult decisions about

[5:33] what should move forward and

[5:35] what MAY need to wait. We

[5:36] understand that their requests

[5:37] for additional services and

[5:40] programs that residents value

[5:41] at the same time, the city has

[5:43] significant infrastructure

[5:44] needs and costly repairs that

[5:44] would require attention and

[5:47] the years ahead before adding

[5:50] significant ongoing expenses.

[5:51] We encourage the commission to

[5:51] consider whether their

[5:54] services are truly a priority,

[5:55] identify sustainable funding

[5:56] where possible and look

[5:57] carefully at long-term impacts

[6:01] on the taxpayer. Financial

[6:02] responsibility is an important

[6:03] commitment to the community

[6:05] and we hope it will continue

[6:05] to be an important

[6:06] consideration as you finalize

[6:07] its budget this evening. Thank

[6:14] you. Is that it for public

[6:16] comment? Yes, oh, sorry.

[6:17] That's okay. Yes. Okay.

[6:18] Bringing it back to the

[6:20] commission. This item is to

[6:22] approve the millage rate. Only

[6:22] the second item is to go

[6:24] through the budget, the actual

[6:24] budget. So.

[6:26] >> Bring that back to the

[6:28] commission. Do we have a

[6:31] motion to start with make a

[6:32] motion on that second? Okay.

[6:35] So motion to approve by

[6:35] Commissioner Rossi in a motion

[6:36] seconded by Commissioner

[6:37] Castillo bringing it back to

[6:39] the Commission for discussion.

[6:40] Do we want to hear from staff

[6:44] on the item of millage rate

[6:45] itself we all pretty much know

[6:46] it's roll back or do we have a

[6:50] comment? Commissioner

[6:53] >> the narrative ask this, but

[6:54] I wanted the public to know

[6:54] what this millage rate, which

[6:56] thank you for getting it to

[6:57] roll back. This is not easy

[6:58] and I appreciate staff are

[7:02] doing that. Does not include

[7:04] any mileage additions for

[7:05] bonding or anything like that

[7:05] for fiscal year 2027? Is that

[7:11] correct? That is correct.

[7:13] Thank Time uprising over

[7:15] there, Christina of checks

[7:18] >> Thank you, Christina. So

[7:19] but the bonding millage rate

[7:23] will not be included fiscal

[7:24] year 2027. That's something

[7:25] that will happen in 2028 once

[7:28] or issue correct?

[7:29] >> Correct. They will not take

[7:31] into effect until 5.28 Okay.

[7:35] >> I appreciated speaker's

[7:36] comments about fiscal

[7:37] responsibilities. You know, I

[7:38] I reach we tried to be very

[7:39] fiscally responsible, as is

[7:41] possible. And I know this

[7:41] budget was not easy. So

[7:47] thanks. Thank you for that.

[7:47] >> Okay. Any other

[7:48] commissioners like to make a

[7:52] comment or question? Looking

[7:55] this way? You Commissioner

[7:56] Haskell question.

[8:00] >> Since we MAY approve

[8:01] particular of bond funded

[8:02] projects and and borrow the

[8:03] money this year. And that

[8:07] money is in the budget for

[8:09] this year. But we won't. The

[8:10] citizens including all of us

[8:13] here won't be paying for that

[8:18] until next year's taxes. Asked

[8:20] him it like say at this same

[8:22] millage rate, how much

[8:22] additional that might be next

[8:27] year.

[8:27] >> I do. You have a slide? I

[8:30] can pull out right now. If you

[8:34] want to show my slide. I mean,

[8:36] it is included in the

[8:37] presentation I can wait. Okay,

[8:40] great. Thank you. It's the

[8:41] question. Thank you,

[8:43] Commissioner Haskell. I think

[8:44] that I see some of them

[8:45] selected. You. Everyone's

[8:50] good. I just want to say thank

[8:52] you to staff also having a

[8:53] budget at rollback was what

[8:56] the previous commission ask

[8:57] for.

[8:57] >> And you came your

[8:59] responsive. I appreciate that.

[9:01] And the taxpayers. Appreciate

[9:05] that. That is going to make us

[9:05] really sharpen our pencils

[9:09] over the next year for 2028 as

[9:10] Commissioner Haskell and that

[9:10] the commissioner mascots

[9:12] questions 0.2 So with that, I

[9:16] think we can call the roll.

[9:17] >> On edition we took you're

[9:20] right about mayor. But if the

[9:23] of amendment passes for the

[9:24] Homestead reception, then

[9:25] we're going to have little

[9:30] change there. We're going to

[9:30] have to address them as well.

[9:31] Yeah, personally I don't think

[9:34] it's going to hurt is bad.

[9:35] Here is another counties in

[9:37] the state of Florida because

[9:39] we have I think 25 or 30% of

[9:43] our homes are homestead year.

[9:45] So its only on the Homestead

[9:48] in its $250,000. It's actually

[9:50] a lot less. It's only 16 or

[9:52] 17%. Yeah. Isn't percent based

[9:56] on values? 17%? Yes. Okay. So

[9:57] we're not gonna take that big

[9:57] of a hit. We're going to take

[10:00] a hit. But it will.

[10:04] >> Yeah, there will be other

[10:04] municipalities and, you know,

[10:05] correct governments that that

[10:07] will effect and much more.

[10:08] >> Yeah, just want to bring

[10:09] that everyone's attention. Fy

[10:11] that this is coming down the

[10:15] road. If it does pass, the

[10:16] Finance Department reported to

[10:17] the previous commission that

[10:18] in your one, it would be about

[10:18] $700,000.

[10:20] >> Current year one. And then

[10:24] we would have to make up. But

[10:25] your point, commissioner,

[10:27] also, you're absolutely in

[10:31] North Florida, counties have

[10:31] 70 80% reliance on homestead

[10:32] taxation, property taxation

[10:35] they're going to really. And

[10:36] as we heard to this morning at

[10:37] the meeting, some counties are

[10:39] considering consolidating even

[10:40] because of the because of the

[10:40] issues that they're going to

[10:43] be facing put. Thank you.

[12:48] warranties still in effect

[12:51] ourselves bill also wasn't

[12:57] too. Curry holds contract to

[12:58] accountable. Is any kind I

[13:03] years. This kind of work

[13:04] should have to be done. And

[13:05] the building is not even 10

[13:06] years old. It's almost 10

[13:06] years would be 10 years this

[13:43] talking about putting a hockey

[13:47] rink at I speech. Just putting

[13:50] that out too, for your

[13:50] consideration. That's all I

[13:53] have to say. Thank you. Thank

[13:58] Marble and Sarah Compton.

[14:02] >> Mayor and commissioners.

[14:02] >> First, I would like to

[14:03] thank staff for this budget.

[14:07] This is 8 really, really great

[14:08] budget at the last commission

[14:13] meeting. We did touch.

[14:15] >> On some water quality

[14:17] testing the canals and lake in

[14:19] district 4. I really hope that

[14:22] that can be considered before

[14:25] this is gets. Final approval.

[14:27] I would love to see water

[14:27] quality testing there. I've

[14:30] had a lot of residents talk to

[14:33] me about fish die offs

[14:34] possibly from hypoxia with the

[14:36] sargassum and things like

[14:38] that. And I would really love

[14:39] to see water quality testing

[14:40] there. I think it would mean a

[14:40] lot to our neighbors. Thank

[14:46] you. Great. Think we should

[14:47] start with that presentation

[14:52] from staff.

[14:54] >> Okay. Good evening, mayor

[14:55] and commissioners. We would

[15:02] like play my presentation.

[15:02] >> Just slide your screen to

[15:03] the other side. There. We've

[15:10] got 2 screens. What I Slide it

[15:24] over. To wear. In time again,

[15:38] that's alright.

[15:38] >> So that ended budget at a

[15:39] glance. So we've already

[15:42] discussed and actually on

[15:43] adopted tentatively the

[15:46] rollback operating but mileage

[15:49] of 1.8, 8, 4, 8, That is a 0

[15:53] increase over roll back on the

[15:55] general fund had a total 2.1%

[16:00] increase over fy. 26 the total

[16:00] budget all over all funds is

[16:07] 331. 1 Million, 385,560

[16:09] dollars. And in this budget

[16:11] are known new position,

[16:14] authorizations there is. It

[16:15] also takes into account 18

[16:18] vacant position. Eliminations.

[16:23] There is 35.4 million dollars

[16:25] grant funding programmed into

[16:26] this budget. And 89.4 million

[16:27] of capital equipment and

[16:31] infrastructure investments. In

[16:32] regards to property growth

[16:36] just wanted to kind of show a

[16:38] presentation of where we are

[16:39] currently and where we've end.

[16:41] So the assessed values of

[16:41] properties are now coming.

[16:44] They're kind of. I would say

[16:45] no flattening out. There was a

[16:48] lot of growth over the last

[16:50] couple years. That was higher

[16:52] than usual. So I just wanted

[16:53] to share this that we have all

[16:54] 3.0, 3, 6%. Overall growth is

[16:55] a lot lower than we thought.

[16:58] And and the past couple of

[16:59] years, I guess, you know,

[17:00] immediately following covid.

[17:04] However, it is. Going to be in

[17:08] general like flying increase

[17:11] year over year is around

[17:14] 404 Million. The 97% of that

[17:16] growth is attributable full to

[17:17] existing property appreciation

[17:25] 11.8 construction. As we

[17:25] previously said, the millage

[17:26] rate is proposed at rollback.

[17:29] So it. The revenue collections

[17:34] will be. Very, very similar to

[17:36] what was collected in this

[17:38] current year. There is a small

[17:39] decrease and that's based on

[17:39] the new continue construction

[17:45] valuations. So I wanted just

[17:46] to show everyone the city of

[17:49] Key West. Currently is the

[17:54] only. I guess, municipality

[17:55] with in Monroe County that has

[17:59] a 0 has a rollback millage

[18:01] rate proposed so can rate of

[18:01] one a need for 8 where the

[18:06] only. Institution government

[18:08] rather that is under 2%. In

[18:16] Monroe County. This slide just

[18:18] shows the what the annual

[18:20] changes for each of the

[18:23] property value property types

[18:24] rather so homestead with an

[18:27] average taxable valuation of

[18:29] 638,000 the annual payment is

[18:31] going to go down $12, an $0.08

[18:32] And this is, of course, the

[18:36] city portion only so. If the

[18:36] overall property tax goes up,

[18:37] it is not utter the normal to

[18:42] the city of Key West. And here

[18:43] are non homestead decrease of

[18:45] $7 and $0.14 and commercial

[18:47] properties, $10.99 And of

[18:49] course, this is based on the

[18:51] average. So there will be some

[18:52] that will be more less

[18:53] depending their property

[18:59] valuation. Here's another

[19:00] representation of where your

[19:02] tax dollars are going. So

[19:03] based on every $100 to see if

[19:05] U.S. Is receiving $23 and

[19:17] $0.52 Proposed. Another is the

[19:17] South Florida Water Management

[19:18] District and the mosquito

[19:25] control. So I wanted to put

[19:26] the slide in here. These are

[19:31] the currently estimated debt

[19:32] service issuance since that

[19:33] have been authorized ready.

[19:33] And that's why 27 so that

[19:38] that's Jose Marti. And fire

[19:41] station 3. So the estimated

[19:42] debt millage for year one,

[19:44] which will mean 28 based on

[19:47] the current taxable property

[19:53] valuations is 0.5 0, 5, 5, 3,

[19:54] So that the estimated payments

[19:56] for Homestead will be $35 and

[20:02] $0.33 here. For 15 over 15

[20:03] year period. Non homestead,

[20:06] $58 and $0.40 and commercial

[20:08] $90.13 for fire station 3. As

[20:11] of right now, the estimated up

[20:12] debt. I mean, bond issuance

[20:15] will be 27 Million. That will

[20:18] be an estimated annual payment

[20:19] of 1.7 million. The

[20:19] corresponding payments are as

[20:26] well. Personal services

[20:28] highlights. We have coal offer

[20:29] employees. We have teamsters

[20:33] at 4% police 5% fire and ems

[20:34] 4%. And general employees at

[20:39] 4%. Step increases for police,

[20:41] fire and ems throughout the

[20:42] year, depending on their

[20:45] anniversary will be 2.5 to 5%.

[20:47] Merit increases for Teamsters

[20:48] and general employees can be

[20:52] up to 3%. Police and fire

[20:53] pension allocation, including

[20:54] this budget is 32% and the

[20:58] general employees 12% health

[20:59] insurance allocation for every

[21:06] full-time employee is $18,534.

[21:09] Here are the positions that

[21:10] are currently vacant that are

[21:10] being recommended for

[21:13] donations. The school crossing

[21:17] our part-time Forester. Grant

[21:17] management, administrative

[21:18] specialist Planning Project

[21:19] Coordinator, Administrative

[21:22] Coordinator and Public works

[21:38] Coordinator, Port project

[21:39] manager shuttle driver Nancy,

[21:41] they'll and the cre manager

[21:41] position. And all of these are

[21:44] currently vacant positions.

[21:46] Yes, commissioner, to see you

[21:50] before we go any further, this

[21:51] cra manages position. Is this

[21:52] going to be replaced with the

[21:57] cra?

[21:57] >> what what we have budgeted

[22:00] right now to I guess offset

[22:01] that is there's a $20,000

[22:02] allocation in each one of the

[22:06] funds that. Putin professional

[22:07] services currently. So that

[22:08] could be a contract employee.

[22:10] It could write, you know, be

[22:14] and I additional to current

[22:15] employees. China's station, as

[22:17] I said before to staff and

[22:21] reference to this position.

[22:22] It's not a real full time

[22:23] position. It can be it can be

[22:26] done on

[22:30] >> consulting basis. So I just

[22:31] don't want the board think

[22:32] that we just do away with it

[22:32] without any direction. Thank

[22:42] you. Any other questions.

[22:47] >> yes, MISTER Here are 3, 335

[22:51] for 3, 3, 1 million dollars.

[22:52] How much is that? Is employees

[22:59] salaries for everyone? Similar

[22:59] time? You're likely so used to

[23:03] come much of of your total

[23:05] budget

[23:05] >> it's in a later slide.

[23:08] Personal services is 70's.

[23:11] 76 million out of 331. That

[23:12] includes police and Yes, good.

[23:20] Thank you. So what has changed

[23:21] after the JULY The proposed

[23:26] amounts. And actually

[23:29] increased to 2002.7 6%. Some

[23:31] of the larger changes in the

[23:33] general fund. We did a lot of

[23:34] adjustments. The insurance

[23:37] costs went down. There was

[23:41] some revenue in like from the

[23:42] state generator revenues. They

[23:43] they came back a little bit

[23:49] lower than we were estimating.

[23:51] But overall, reduction of 1.0,

[23:53] 4, 5%, in the infrastructure

[23:56] funds. A 3 million dollar

[23:56] change that was the original

[23:58] fire station. 3. We had a

[24:02] 25 million dollar bond

[24:04] issuance was increased a

[24:08] 27 million and also. That that

[24:11] is that is it for fund

[24:12] internal improvements. The

[24:16] 5 million that came from,

[24:18] we're going increase the bond

[24:18] issuance requests from

[24:21] 10 million to 15 Million. But

[24:21] we will talk about that a

[24:26] little bit more later in our.

[24:27] What else had large change

[24:29] under the storm. A utility

[24:30] fund that the 2 million dollar

[24:34] increases in The stewardship

[24:37] funding. That was just receive

[24:39] not too long ago. That is

[24:40] planned there. That's

[24:41] 2 million dollars going to the

[24:43] Harris and 10th project.

[24:44] There's another million

[24:45] dollars that we still have not

[24:46] had a to this budget that

[24:48] we're down to figure which

[24:54] projects identify So Al funds

[24:58] budget is, as I said before,

[25:01] 331 million, $385,560. Overall

[25:04] increases 15.6% over Fy. 26

[25:06] current year. It is primarily

[25:09] driven by Capital Investments,

[25:10] Grant funded projects and

[25:11] planned bond issuances not and

[25:18] recurring operations. For the

[25:22] General fund it. Tentative

[25:25] budget proposed 703 million,

[25:26] 555,905 dollars, which is a

[25:31] 2.1% increase over 2026. And I

[25:33] just wanted to mention that

[25:34] even though total citywide

[25:36] budget increased by 15.6%,

[25:37] general fund only increased by

[25:41] 2%, which because operational

[25:41] savings that we we've been

[25:49] able to find. So this slide is

[25:50] kind we're going to have at

[25:51] the end estimated at the end

[25:55] Fy 27 to have 90 days and fund

[25:56] balance reserve. Each day is

[25:59] the equivalent 225 $1000. So

[26:02] that's a total of 20 0.6

[26:07] million dollars so the policy

[26:09] is between 72 and tiny.

[26:10] Today's we're trying to

[26:12] maintain 90 today reserves to

[26:16] provide financial resiliency,

[26:17] cash flow you know, hurricane

[26:17] or some other sort of

[26:22] disaster. Possible real

[26:24] revenue volatility, that MAY

[26:24] MAY or MAY not happen based on

[26:27] things going on in community.

[26:28] Fema reimbursement timing,

[26:29] future property tax

[26:30] uncertainty and maintaining

[26:35] our strong financial position.

[26:36] Some of the major highlights

[26:38] are, as I said earlier, the

[26:39] grant funding allocations

[26:40] across across all funds from

[26:45] 35 million dollars. The bond

[26:46] issuances. So we do have 2

[26:47] that have been authorized by

[26:48] the commissioner which are for

[26:52] Jose Martinez, Fire Station 3,

[26:53] the streets and roadway

[26:54] improvements we will be

[26:55] presenting to you probably and

[26:56] most likely NOVEMBER in order

[27:01] to forward not. And of course,

[27:01] whatever that issue and says

[27:02] it will be authorized by you.

[27:08] Time. User fee increases. We

[27:12] we increase a lot of fees in

[27:13] order generate enough revenue

[27:14] to actually pay for the

[27:17] services that we're providing

[27:17] would just with time. A lot

[27:23] assessments of the year.

[27:25] Investments in technology, the

[27:27] workday, implementation, there

[27:30] various data center equipment

[27:31] upgrades investments in public

[27:32] safety. We have fire

[27:32] department sport vehicles.

[27:34] Police department pursuit

[27:35] vehicles. There is a quick

[27:36] minute facility improvements

[27:42] for them. That's mayor.

[27:42] Generosity because Sorry, I'm

[27:48] dis. Looking at just 20.

[27:48] 7 million dollars for Fy

[27:50] station. Great is that the

[27:56] Besse? Price? We are to made

[28:01] in that. Oh, no. If you MAY

[28:02] recall, we did authorize up to

[28:05] 32 Million. So we are.

[28:06] Currently trying to get that

[28:11] costs. Nailed it nailed and

[28:13] getting it as low as possible

[28:15] to, you know, help the

[28:16] taxpayers also, which I

[28:16] haven't mentioned yet. But we

[28:18] are we have applied for a

[28:21] grant for fire station 3,

[28:23] which would if awarded, we

[28:25] would know MARCH of and it's

[28:28] for like 12, 12 and a half

[28:29] million dollars mornings

[28:31] saying that in reference to I

[28:32] on on the county's be have

[28:33] bill in the new fire station

[28:36] up that those sugar lows.

[28:44] >> And in at the same time I

[28:45] see they make these concrete

[28:46] walls and bring them down here

[28:46] on trucks. And I'm I'm

[28:48] wondering. You know what

[28:49] category that that that's a

[28:54] then. And now. And all city

[28:55] here. I mean, they built a

[28:56] whole city hall and Gordon in

[29:00] Marathon. And, you know, we're

[29:01] trying to save dollars. You

[29:04] know, I mean, we the colder

[29:07] the clock be full can get a

[29:09] little I you know,

[29:10] commissioner can still I think

[29:13] these great questions.

[29:15] Probably a good subject for a

[29:16] presentation from staff at a

[29:17] upcoming city commission

[29:19] meeting. So we can see what

[29:24] the most up to date. Ideas are

[29:25] for what it would look like.

[29:27] The drawings conceptual

[29:28] designs cost.

[29:31] >> What the status of grant so

[29:32] good. We can have a

[29:33] presentation and don't get me

[29:34] I want the very best, but I

[29:37] want to get every dollar that

[29:38] we spend. We've got a

[29:41] community center down in the

[29:41] full report and not even 3

[29:43] years old. So I'm trying And

[29:45] we had MISTER Malone tell us

[29:46] about City Hall, which, you

[29:46] know, we know. So yeah, for

[29:48] sure. We need to pay attention

[29:49] to this. Thank you. You're

[29:51] absolutely right, MR. Mayor.

[29:53] Because you're going yes, I

[29:55] and could that I'm going to

[29:58] love.

[30:02] >> Citizen input on this. This

[30:05] far station that 25 27 million

[30:06] dollars. Too, would like to

[30:09] seriously sit down. You go

[30:12] over this piece by piece. So

[30:14] we know exactly what's going

[30:17] on. We know that we need to

[30:18] fire station. Discuss that.

[30:19] Have everything the best of

[30:21] everything. But the cost seems

[30:25] very, very high. For for far,

[30:27] you know, for a concrete block

[30:29] building how many you know,

[30:30] I'd like to be brought up to

[30:36] speed on New, yeah, 6 very

[30:36] expensive. A lot of the public

[30:39] are asked the question so

[30:39] many.

[30:40] >> So see your once again

[30:43] right on target but but for

[30:46] commercial grade fire station,

[30:48] it's it's higher per square

[30:49] foot price to be expected.

[30:50] We're looking at probably 1200

[30:53] per square foot. I think I

[30:54] think a one time it was

[30:55] proposed to be 1800 per square

[30:57] foot which did seem high. But,

[31:00] you know, what? They have 3

[31:00] days now. They really need

[31:04] for. You know, the square

[31:06] footage, I think seems right.

[31:06] I mean, to determine 19, we

[31:09] have fire fire here if they

[31:10] want to speak to this. But I

[31:12] think we do. I think the best

[31:15] if we had just a dedicated

[31:15] discussion item on we're we

[31:17] could have presentation from

[31:19] staff to go over where we are

[31:20] in the grants where we are in

[31:23] the square footage, the number

[31:25] of days. But, you know, we

[31:27] need to replace fire station

[31:30] 3. I mean, it's it's been

[31:30] degree, you know, we We all

[31:31] agree to that and it needs to

[31:34] happen sooner than later. So

[31:35] that's something we could do.

[31:37] And Isaac Tobar, realistic or

[31:38] should we wait till NOVEMBER?

[31:38] What his staff think about

[31:44] presentation. Vice Mayor Lee.

[31:47] Few things about fire station.

[31:48] >> Number one, if we're going

[31:49] to have a presentation, I

[31:54] would I would. Suggest that we

[31:55] do it, it sooner rather than

[31:58] later because day that we

[32:01] wait, more expensive. So I

[32:02] would like to see if we're

[32:04] going to have a presentation.

[32:05] Alright, I would like to do it

[32:08] the next. To me. The next

[32:09] meeting you possible? Because

[32:10] I like to do it because every

[32:12] day we wait and every day this

[32:13] gets bogged down, it's going

[32:15] to cost us more. Number one.

[32:16] >> Are are you suggesting the

[32:19] 22nd the next budget meeting

[32:20] is that might be too soon for

[32:20] staff is that's what I do. You

[32:21] know, I think they could do

[32:22] it. Have confidence in him

[32:29] that good. You know about I

[32:30] don't want to that vice Mayor,

[32:30] Leslie, let the vice mayor

[32:35] finished, you know? Hopefully

[32:36] with the presentation will

[32:40] see. Why the cost is what it

[32:41] is when the presentation comes

[32:47] to us but we spoke. We were

[32:48] looking at the debt service

[32:51] there in regards to to fire

[32:52] station. And I don't think

[32:56] anyone here is comfortable

[32:57] with that level of debt

[33:03] service there's a grant that I

[33:05] think about. I think there are

[33:06] going to be opportunities.

[33:07] It's going to reduce that debt

[33:09] service. And I spoke to

[33:10] Cristina spoke to the manager

[33:15] about it. Before we pass on. I

[33:15] don't think it's going to be I

[33:16] don't think the debt service

[33:19] will end up being what we see

[33:19] there at 1.7 million dollars.

[33:21] I think it will be

[33:22] significantly reducing if it's

[33:24] not, I would. I'm gonna do

[33:26] everything I can to reduce

[33:29] that burden to the taxpayers.

[33:31] Even it I would propose using

[33:35] reserve days to reduce that.

[33:36] That debt service if necessary

[33:38] before we end up passing 1.7

[33:39] million dollars on to the

[33:42] taxpayer. Taxpayers. But I

[33:46] don't think that that. That

[33:47] service is going to be 1.7

[33:48] million dollars. The end of

[33:52] the day. I I think we all

[33:53] would probably agree with you,

[33:56] merely but member.

[33:59] >> It's a recurring debt just

[34:00] one year of using reserve is

[34:00] is not going to solve the

[34:01] problem a long term so that

[34:03] the yeah, I'm the manager

[34:07] wanted to something. So

[34:08] there's a lot going on there.

[34:11] So let me do a few things for

[34:13] contextualize station. First

[34:14] and foremost, the $27, the

[34:15] 77 million figure you're

[34:17] looking at is not for the fire

[34:19] station alone. So please

[34:20] delineate that 2 million of it

[34:22] is for the temporary fire

[34:24] station, which we do not

[34:24] believe it's going to require

[34:27] that dollar amount. But that's

[34:27] what's budget. So please use

[34:31] don't use 27. Okay. We we were

[34:34] very clear on the direction

[34:35] that receive regarding our

[34:35] ability to reduce the costs of

[34:38] the fire station. Right now,

[34:40] we establish 25 million as the

[34:41] threshold. We are actively

[34:42] working with k 2 m to reduce

[34:44] that. It is really designed on

[34:47] square footage. So you alluded

[34:48] to dollar per square foot.

[34:49] Please give us an opportunity

[34:50] to work with k 2 him to

[34:51] continue to sharpen the

[34:55] pencil. To ask us to bring you

[34:55] something in the next few

[34:56] weeks is not realistic. We're

[34:57] not close to have any

[34:59] presentation ready, candidly,

[35:00] we've got we have a standing

[35:03] meeting with k 2 m when we

[35:03] have a conceptual drawing in

[35:04] our ability to present

[35:06] something we will but just

[35:10] know that we share leadership,

[35:10] an opinion about reducing

[35:13] everywhere we can. But we are

[35:14] also working closely with our

[35:16] with our team at the fire

[35:18] station to determine what is

[35:20] necessary there. So we believe

[35:20] that the final product that

[35:21] we're going to be able to put

[35:21] in front of you will be

[35:23] representative of everything

[35:25] that we just discussed today.

[35:25] But please understand that

[35:26] we're not building the fire

[35:28] station for 27 Million. That's

[35:32] not an accurate statement, ok?

[35:32] Okay. So we all agree will

[35:35] have a presentation as soon as

[35:35] possible. That's what we're

[35:36] here. Okay. War and pushed

[35:37] Commissioner Rossi, great.

[35:42] >> The grant. We're working on

[35:43] that a time limit on that as

[35:45] time of sweet idea, applied

[35:47] for the grant will no went

[35:48] whether or not we've been

[35:50] awarded in MARCH of 27 and

[35:54] more Sun. We have well. Ok,

[36:00] the says who a few things. 2

[36:01] separate grants.

[36:01] >> We believe candidly that

[36:02] we're going to have a line of

[36:03] sight on the grant for Jose

[36:06] more teen NOVEMBER Ish. It is

[36:09] earmarked both our air market.

[36:10] It's the weather that budget

[36:11] is approved. So we feel like

[36:12] we'll have clarity on the Jose

[36:14] grant latter part of this

[36:16] year. More clarity on the fire

[36:17] station grant the 1st quarter

[36:20] of next year.

[36:25] >> Good. Thank MR. Voting Yes

[36:28] continue presentation. Okay.

[36:31] Major grant funded projects

[36:32] and that in this budget.

[36:33] Mallory Square were pair

[36:37] rehabilitation we were able to

[36:40] secure a 5.2 million from

[36:41] stead. We meaning Steve. So

[36:44] great job. And so that's going

[36:47] to help great me for that

[36:48] project. Now grand prix

[36:50] months. We have rest,

[36:51] restrooms, landscaping, shade

[36:53] structures on speech

[36:55] improvements. Pavilions rental

[37:30] Sorry. Our transit system. We

[37:33] do have the island hopper out

[37:36] a 45 minute frequency. It's

[37:39] going to move clockwise and

[37:40] counterclockwise. It will

[37:41] service stock Allen and U.S.

[37:41] One 3rd street and hurricane

[37:44] hole. The route will begin at

[37:45] 06:00am in the last fall.

[37:49] We'll be around 08:00pm so

[37:50] that is different than what we

[37:52] have presented in JULY. So

[37:56] that is improved as well. We

[37:58] do have investments in water

[37:59] quality in here to include

[38:02] water, quality testing and

[38:03] marinas stormwater outfalls

[38:03] and the inundation

[38:04] infiltration improvements,

[38:07] which will also help the storm

[38:08] water items and then

[38:11] continuation stantec contract.

[38:12] There is 250,000 in Fy 27

[38:16] budget. For water quality, not

[38:22] including the first 3 items.

[38:22] Investments in housing. We

[38:24] will have the housing needs

[38:26] assessment going on. We have

[38:29] some funding identified for

[38:30] correct leveraging and we do

[38:30] have allocation for homebuyers

[38:36] assistance. So our five-year

[38:39] capital improvement program

[38:39] currently is around

[38:41] 181 million dollars. So we

[38:44] have a lot of capital

[38:44] investment in year one. A lot

[38:47] of that is grant funded so

[38:48] that we're looking to make a

[38:49] lot of improvements over the

[38:57] next couple of years. So with

[39:01] that, we do have an allocation

[39:02] or requests for youth league

[39:03] funding to be increased. The

[39:06] amount of $45,000. It's not

[39:07] currently reflected in this

[39:08] budget. However, it's

[39:10] something we could add really

[39:12] the only option we have at

[39:14] this point. I mean, not the

[39:15] only option, but the most

[39:17] feasible one would be to use

[39:18] some of our reserves funding

[39:19] because we've cut

[39:21] operationally pretty much. As

[39:23] much as we can in the general

[39:26] fund unless we had, you know,

[39:27] other direction that that you

[39:35] can come up $45,000 would be

[39:36] just to clarify what like 20%

[39:40] of day.

[39:40] >> Yeah. Looking like that.

[39:44] It's a really small, very

[39:46] corrected trust. One days,

[39:47] 224,000 sounds very reasonable

[39:48] to me in a sense of really

[39:49] good message to the community

[39:50] and support the kids and youth

[39:51] funding. So I would support

[39:57] it. Are we ready for questions

[39:58] and comments? Is that could

[40:02] just a matter? What we really?

[40:03] >> Your statement is very

[40:04] accurate. So this particular

[40:07] item, it doesn't seem to.

[40:10] Impact the reserve days. Much

[40:11] what we would like to just

[40:14] articulate today is we truly

[40:16] feel we've cut everywhere that

[40:18] we can. It's indicative of the

[40:20] budget that were put in front

[40:20] of you. So if we have requests

[40:22] from the commission that are

[40:23] approved, that ask us to add

[40:26] to this budget in any way. We

[40:27] either need very clear

[40:28] indication of where do you

[40:31] want us to take that from? But

[40:32] right now our answer is going

[40:33] to be it's going to come from

[40:34] reserve case. So just please

[40:38] keep that in mind as you. Have

[40:40] a passion point and say, look,

[40:41] we need to do this either.

[40:42] It's going to come from some

[40:43] other location, which you'll

[40:44] say, ok, we'll eliminate this

[40:46] from either a capital plan or

[40:47] a 5 year strategic plan or

[40:50] what have you. But right now

[40:51] the answer our team will

[40:52] provide you would be okay. We

[40:53] will do that. We would add it

[40:54] back in, but it's going to

[40:57] come from a survey. Fair

[40:58] enough. And understood, Vaulti

[41:02] you complete your.

[41:02] >> was gonna say are there

[41:06] other additional changes

[41:07] requested because really end

[41:08] and I just where we're going

[41:11] next. So so let me bring it

[41:14] back to the commission.

[41:16] Commissioner Castillo, MR. I

[41:17] want to congratulate staff

[41:20] again on job. Well done this

[41:22] probably the best budget I've

[41:26] seen since becoming the

[41:26] commissioner. It matches

[41:30] everything to the penny.

[41:31] Finance and staff of will job

[41:34] well done. Thank you. Thank

[41:36] you, commissioner, to see

[41:36] anyone else. Commissioner

[41:40] Carey. Thank you, MR. Mayor,

[41:42] just a couple quick questions.

[41:43] First, I want to know, I think

[41:49] its slide 5. It shows a

[41:50] comparison between the city

[41:51] and the other municipalities

[41:54] or government agencies.

[41:55] >> I just want to say that

[41:56] it's really outstanding it. So

[41:58] you guys did a tremendous job.

[42:01] And I think that shows right

[42:02] there what a great job guys

[42:04] have done. So thank you. And

[42:06] then I had a question about

[42:07] the additional funding for the

[42:12] use. Leaks where did that

[42:13] request come from lead to the

[42:15] league's request, the

[42:15] additional 45?

[42:19] >> I believe that.

[42:19] >> a resident requested and

[42:20] then it came through. The

[42:23] mayor has a request. So we

[42:24] presented it so that we would

[42:26] have consensus whether or not

[42:28] fund and Fy 20's 7. It was

[42:33] proposed to have lower funding

[42:36] amount it in previous years it

[42:38] was 125,001 town, based you

[42:39] know, our efforts to try to do

[42:40] that. Sarah Base budget and,

[42:46] you know, that's have we had

[42:47] an opportunity to ask the

[42:47] leadership that the different

[42:52] leagues. I know that. You

[42:55] know, a resident speak up for

[42:58] these organizations or I think

[43:00] we kind of sigh last year with

[43:01] the funding of the food banks

[43:05] and I mean, I support you

[43:07] sports million per cent. And I

[43:10] think it's very important

[43:11] investment to invest in the

[43:11] children in the future. This

[43:14] community. But I'm just

[43:15] curious, have we spoken to the

[43:17] leadership that those

[43:18] different you sleeves and

[43:22] asked? If they need it. I

[43:23] spoke with one member of the

[43:23] board of one of these leagues

[43:26] and you know, the kind of

[43:29] express Lee. Is what you know.

[43:32] We will keep moving forward.

[43:33] We will keep providing the

[43:34] same level of service with

[43:36] that without that funding will

[43:38] make sure children get what

[43:38] they need and it's not from

[43:42] the city. Then. I mean, we

[43:42] have a really giving community

[43:43] that that funds the sort of

[43:44] things. So just curious, if we

[43:47] spoken to leadership, MR.

[43:49] Mayor Commissioner Carey,

[43:51] thank you for the question.

[43:52] One, we did not get any

[43:55] request not just from the

[43:55] league's but

[43:57] >> we actually sent letters

[44:00] out last. When was the timing,

[44:01] Christina, so were accurate on

[44:03] the statement when we sent out

[44:05] e-mails with the applications,

[44:06] we alerted them to that. The

[44:07] funding MAY be in a lower

[44:09] level based on what?

[44:11] >> You know, challenges we had

[44:12] in this fiscal year. What was

[44:13] it? I mean, I'm That was

[44:15] probably in MARCH or APRIL. So

[44:18] what I would say is early last

[44:18] year.

[44:19] >> Or I'm sorry. Earlier this

[44:20] year, we communicated that

[44:20] there would be a reduction. We

[44:22] would be planning the

[44:24] rejection to answer your long

[44:25] answer to question. We did not

[44:29] receive any feedback from any

[44:30] leak official that represented

[44:31] leagues in general or any

[44:31] other entity that said,

[44:35] please. Advocate for return.

[44:37] It the request that you are

[44:38] referring to went to you all

[44:39] didn't come to us. And then

[44:40] the request that Kristina

[44:42] reference came from the mayor

[44:47] directly missed. Okay. To

[44:48] Commissioner Carey's at the

[44:48] different. I just wanted a

[44:49] swimmer question then. So do

[44:52] you need a response on this?

[44:53] >> Right now in today, which

[44:54] like the contest will in order

[44:55] to incorporate whatever change

[44:57] into the next iteration of the

[44:58] budget into the final

[45:00] iteration. Yes and sorry,

[45:03] you're almost done how many

[45:04] leagues are there in total

[45:07] that we're funding?

[45:11] >> 6 or 7 and?

[45:14] >> Well, that 45,000 be

[45:15] distributed equally between

[45:18] between of 6 or 7 weeks now it

[45:19] would restore them to what

[45:20] they in this current year,

[45:22] which is 125 total. But I I

[45:24] don't know the detail of them.

[45:25] You can get that information

[45:28] to you, though. We do have

[45:29] second the second budget

[45:30] meeting which we can get that

[45:31] information. So I think we had

[45:34] a lot of other commissioners

[45:35] that wanted to speak about

[45:39] this. I anybody else

[45:40] commissioner has us a first.

[45:41] Yeah. I totally support

[45:42] restoring the youth league

[45:45] funding to the current levels.

[45:46] So I totally support that. And

[45:48] I did hear from mom the

[45:50] someone speaking for the Youth

[45:54] Football League.

[45:59] >> And on another topic,

[45:59] >> at the last budget workshop

[46:02] we heard from of Steve Hansen

[46:08] from the bike toward and he

[46:08] was concerned about 6 million

[46:09] dollars that the by for

[46:13] transfers to the city and also

[46:14] about reserves that board

[46:17] would be left with. And the

[46:18] long range forecast, the

[46:20] chilled over a period of about

[46:22] 5 years. Those reserves go

[46:23] down to nothing in being a

[46:24] negative number.

[46:29] >> That that's not.

[46:29] >> Accurate. What it would

[46:32] show is like in I think it was

[46:33] 5 or 6 that they would no

[46:36] longer have access reserves.

[46:36] They still had operational

[46:37] reserves. They still have

[46:38] their capital reserves. They

[46:39] did not have excess reserves.

[46:44] Okay. He said he made a good

[46:47] point. That insurance not

[46:47] cover destruction of the dax.

[46:49] If that should happen in a

[46:50] major hurricane.

[46:51] >> And so that was a good

[46:53] point for wanted to have more

[46:55] reserves in the bite. Then the

[46:55] 90 today said the city might

[46:57] have in general. But I don't

[47:01] see that any budget shifts or

[47:02] changes were made. It looks

[47:05] like it's the same now as it

[47:05] was.

[47:06] >> We did not get any feedback

[47:09] in order to change that. So it

[47:09] was not incorporated into the

[47:16] budget.

[47:16] >> MR. Mayor Commissioner

[47:18] Haskell, thank you for the

[47:20] question. What I do would like

[47:22] to layer on that answer is I

[47:23] believe it was articulated in

[47:28] that meeting that. It's not

[47:29] the bite in the city where

[47:31] one. So if there was an impact

[47:32] to the bite that required a

[47:34] restoration of and investment

[47:37] of that magnitude. We would be

[47:38] coming together and that would

[47:41] be coming from the city, not

[47:41] necessarily from insurance.

[47:45] Does does that help answer?

[47:46] >> Meaning that it a separate

[47:47] fund, though. And I mean,

[47:50] don't don't active site funds

[47:51] see in their own silo except

[47:54] when they transfer something.

[47:55] Is general operating? They are

[47:58] separate funds. However, we do

[47:58] have we pull our cash

[47:59] altogether. So in the event of

[48:01] some sort of

[48:04] >> drastic disaster, we we

[48:05] would figure out how to make.

[48:07] Would look to ourselves store.

[48:10] That is what I we all right.

[48:12] Try to layer on the answer. I

[48:15] to help. He's concerned. Okay.

[48:15] We'll GOD forbid that doesn't

[48:18] happen. Commissioner cat mask

[48:22] up. Thank you, MISTER Mayor.

[48:25] I-2 heard from football. So I

[48:26] fully support.

[48:26] >> Restoring the funding to

[48:27] air it is it sends a good

[48:29] message to our community. I do

[48:33] want to support that. And in

[48:36] regards to life. I want to

[48:37] reiterate what Commissioner

[48:39] Velez had is that we are all

[48:43] one team and, you know, if

[48:44] something were to happen to

[48:45] the docks and a hurricane or

[48:46] something, we all as a city

[48:46] are going to figure out like

[48:47] how that's going to get paid

[48:50] for it. So I'm not worried

[48:51] about the excess reserves at

[48:52] the for that. So thank you.

[48:54] That's all I got. Thank you,

[48:56] commissioner. On the side.

[48:57] >> that going to Vice Mayor

[49:02] Lee? I would say I support the

[49:04] adding the 45 back from

[49:04] reserves. She wanted to know

[49:06] Thank you. Vice Mayor Lee.

[49:09] Commissioner Rusty.

[49:11] >> We're doing on the 45, but

[49:15] also the bite either. The

[49:15] bacon so fun. Sure. Little

[49:20] bit. Put some money away. 4, a

[49:20] potential disaster. And then

[49:23] that money could earn interest

[49:24] and be used as a

[49:26] self-insurance fund. I mean,

[49:27] we're talking about, you know

[49:30] this and that just for couple

[49:31] $100,000 a year away in.

[49:34] You'll have that you can 5

[49:38] years. You know, Hopefully

[49:39] this year we don't get nailed

[49:42] with a hurricane. But I would

[49:43] say self insurance. So, you

[49:44] know, put the money in the

[49:46] bank. Good interest grows so

[49:47] that that's where a man on

[49:53] that. So, you know. Thank you,

[49:53] Commissioner Commissioner I

[49:57] get a phone call every day

[49:58] about

[49:59] >> Chris Sale dance and

[49:59] particularly I don't know

[50:04] everybody farming but this is

[50:04] the most important thing. They

[50:08] are out few jail tomorrow.

[50:09] Those kids that going to

[50:10] college in coming back home.

[50:13] We need a place full and we

[50:14] need a place to keep them out

[50:17] of trouble. We'll be going

[50:18] through with these e-bikes

[50:19] right now driving And Dani,

[50:24] thank you. But anyway, again,

[50:26] you're in charge 40 $45,000 a

[50:28] drop in the bucket for this.

[50:30] And so I'm just thankful we

[50:31] able to to fund these sport

[50:34] and the keep it going. So

[50:36] staff again, job well done.

[50:39] MISTER Mayor, thank you again.

[50:41] Thank you, commissioner.

[50:44] Commissioner Haskell thank

[50:45] you.

[50:46] >> I have a question. Bigger

[50:49] ticket item. This being the

[50:53] bonds and apparently yesterday

[50:55] there was bonds were put out

[50:55] to like, do we have any update

[50:58] on that? We have.

[51:00] >> That was for the Jose Marti

[51:03] bond. We we issued the well as

[51:04] competitor Levy. Did we have

[51:08] an issue yet, however, on the

[51:12] bid itself was accepted. It's

[51:15] around 3.9, 5, 3%, interest.

[51:19] So we will have more. Details

[51:22] on coming out the next week.

[51:23] >> So we know exactly what the

[51:23] interest rate will be that

[51:25] will be paying on it. Okay.

[51:27] And follow-up question on

[51:33] that. If we. Can, we draw down

[51:34] the money in increment or do

[51:36] we draw down all at once? And

[51:38] we draw down all at once and

[51:40] we don't need to spend it all

[51:40] at once, can we keep some of

[51:43] it in an interest bearing

[51:43] account?

[51:46] >> Yes, we just

[51:49] >> Make money on the money.

[51:54] It's a little I can give you a

[51:56] better explanation like after

[51:57] we get the money. But we

[51:59] cannot just like invest the

[52:02] money and make all kinds of

[52:03] interest it. That's not the

[52:05] way works. However, for the

[52:06] Jose Marti, we are going to we

[52:08] have to get all of it at once

[52:11] and given a f dot, I believe

[52:11] OCTOBER 7th is when we have

[52:16] get there.

[52:17] >> Ok, cause if we if we draw

[52:19] down the entire bond amount

[52:20] for fire station number 3, 4,

[52:27] it. I your slide show that the

[52:29] average not not this year next

[52:31] year, the average home said

[52:34] property would increase about

[52:37] $125 in taxes and then onto

[52:44] over 200. That was my math.

[52:45] And it for all 3 bonds when

[52:48] their initiative would be 895.

[52:48] >> $5. I don't know you can

[52:55] see them but for Homestead.

[52:58] $5322 for this is on based on

[53:00] average valuations. Keep that

[53:03] in mind. $322 in commercial is

[53:09] on $490.

[53:10] >> So that's a big increase.

[53:11] You know, recent recent years.

[53:13] So when next year comes

[53:17] around. You know, if don't

[53:17] want to settle the citizens

[53:19] with extra tax burden. Gonna

[53:22] have to slash even more for

[53:26] the regular budget.

[53:27] >> You're correct. Week on an

[53:29] annual basis where we evaluate

[53:31] how we're going to make the

[53:33] However, I just want to remind

[53:34] everyone that the taxpayers

[53:37] did vote these issuances in so

[53:38] while we are going to try to

[53:42] mitigate it as much as we can.

[53:43] It's not necessarily true that

[53:44] we will be able to completely

[53:50] mitigate it. MR. Mayor. MR.

[53:51] >> Commissioner, just no great

[53:53] questions. And and we have,

[53:54] you know, obviously this is

[53:58] not done in a vacuum.

[53:58] Approach. Was the grant

[54:01] requests, we believe strongly

[54:02] that we feel that we're going

[54:02] to get some of these grants,

[54:03] if not all our plan would be

[54:08] to. Mitigate the dedication.

[54:11] Now, whether that's at once or

[54:12] whether that is put that into

[54:14] a separate line item and pay

[54:16] as we go from that fun. So

[54:20] just know that we are. We are

[54:20] establishing different

[54:22] approaches based on what we do

[54:23] moving forward. But it's all

[54:24] in an effort to mitigate the

[54:24] total obligation to our

[54:28] community.

[54:31] >> I have one more item that

[54:36] relates to. At the following

[54:38] year and 2 this year, I would

[54:39] like to put some money in this

[54:42] year's budget or direct. The

[54:46] city manager to take it out of

[54:47] of funds that he has the

[54:50] ability to spend to do during

[54:53] this fiscal year and

[54:54] efficiency review of city

[54:57] staffing and operations. And

[54:59] the reason to do that

[54:59] efficiency review is if we're

[55:03] going to have to reduce our

[55:06] expenditures next year I would

[55:08] like to do it intelligently.

[55:12] The most intelligent way

[55:15] possible. So would like to see

[55:16] some moneys and I don't

[55:17] exactly know how much an

[55:20] efficiency review would cost.

[55:21] This would be bringing in. I

[55:22] would assume someone to work

[55:23] work with us, but not

[55:24] necessarily an in-house

[55:28] person. It would be a

[55:32] collaborative effort so I just

[55:33] want see if a gift can get any

[55:37] support for that. So if I if I

[55:38] can make a suggestion that

[55:40] that had a topic.

[55:45] >> Some years ago that win. We

[55:46] had our interim city manager

[55:50] and that was a directive that.

[55:52] Pryor Commission was looking

[55:54] at. So I think that would be a

[55:54] good topic for city commission

[55:55] meeting. So maybe maybe you

[55:58] can sponsor either a

[56:01] discussion item or or a

[56:05] resolution with some backup

[56:06] materials so that we have some

[56:07] options to really, you know,

[56:08] concretely, think about now

[56:13] the my suggestion and started

[56:16] actually had information on

[56:17] health at the time that we I

[56:18] pursue that. Some might be

[56:19] something if you would,

[56:21] please, bring that back.

[56:22] That's because I think it's a

[56:23] very good. Thank mayor. That

[56:31] suggests yep. Anybody else?

[56:31] Okay. Have a few comments or

[56:37] questions. So one is. On

[56:39] transit. Very progress. Thank

[56:40] you to our transit director

[56:45] and staff is there. I saw the

[56:46] response from the county. The

[56:50] county did not choose to

[56:50] providing the funding yet, but

[56:51] they said they would revisit

[56:54] that in DECEMBER. I think

[56:55] that's what the e-mail said

[56:58] from the county administrator.

[57:00] And there was some commentary

[57:02] about the availability for tdc

[57:03] money, maybe for the Duval

[57:03] Loop. I know this is a

[57:05] compound question. Sorry, but

[57:08] do we have idea for the

[57:08] commission about where we're

[57:11] headed? This year for transit

[57:14] will be be more availability.

[57:18] For funding in. And as

[57:21] increased service, MR. Mayor.

[57:22] Thank you for that question.

[57:24] Christina, do you want to

[57:25] field? I don't think it's a

[57:26] difficult one. We could talk

[57:26] about the funding from tc. I

[57:29] think that's a very

[57:30] >> cancer in regards to

[57:32] funding for the Tdc for the

[57:34] Duval. We have been given the

[57:36] opinion that it would not be

[57:38] available to to run the Duval

[57:38] it. So unless there's some

[57:40] sort of legislation.

[57:44] >> Change or request? From

[57:45] them, I guess directly. I'm

[57:46] not really sure how that could

[57:47] be accomplished. But at this

[57:51] time, they the Duval it

[57:51] operations would not be

[57:54] something willing to fund. And

[57:55] is that we have a written

[57:58] opinion about that or is that

[57:59] something that came directly

[58:02] from was an ag opinion on

[58:04] that. Okay. Okay. Thanks. So

[58:05] MISTER Mayor, get that again.

[58:06] I didn't mean as manager.

[58:07] >> MR. Mayor and thank you,

[58:11] Christina. This question

[58:12] continues to surface. And I I

[58:13] would imagine because we're

[58:15] getting a lot of traffic on

[58:16] outside individuals telling us

[58:20] how Fix this problem. It's

[58:23] been vetted and we've received

[58:24] information directly that we

[58:25] are not able to use tdc

[58:26] funding for the Duval Street.

[58:28] So this is where this concept

[58:31] of one loop came from. So to

[58:32] continue to ask these

[58:33] questions, perpetuates the

[58:35] narrative we need to. We need

[58:36] to be able to pause that. So

[58:37] there's no additional funding

[58:39] from Tdc regarding that as it

[58:40] pertains to the additional

[58:41] stops in Stock Island, that

[58:42] would be a direction that you

[58:43] would give We believe that we

[58:45] can accomplish it. We were

[58:46] under the impression, although

[58:48] we are take ya later, that

[58:49] that was not an approved

[58:50] budget from the county going

[58:52] towards this. If you all give

[58:53] us indication or direction to

[58:54] pick up additional stops in

[58:55] Stock Island, that's what our

[58:57] team will be able to do right

[58:58] now. What we're presenting new

[58:59] is everything that we can

[59:01] during the current budget. So

[59:03] just to wrap up the discussion

[59:07] about transit, are we

[59:08] satisfied that the recurring

[59:09] budgetary needs for transit

[59:11] for 2028, for example.

[59:13] >> Are going to be in place or

[59:13] is this a one year fix where

[59:17] we're at? The words? Are we

[59:18] gonna be able to carry this?

[59:19] You know, because in order to

[59:21] have a successful transit

[59:22] operation and has to be

[59:24] consistent over years. So

[59:27] again, we haven't had that.

[59:29] Well, the one will the island

[59:30] hopper survive? Not just this

[59:30] year we haven't 2028 coming.

[59:33] Grow it from there or are we

[59:34] going to have the same problem

[59:35] next year trying to have that,

[59:39] you know, one year fix. Well,

[59:39] this to Whaley is up here. So

[59:40] thank you, MR. Mayor.

[59:44] >> I wish I had a an answer

[59:46] for that. Really we don't

[59:47] know. So things are changing

[59:47] constantly with thought and

[59:50] that the federal level we do

[59:53] apply for reoccurring funds.

[59:55] Those funds will be there

[59:56] should be there next year. We

[59:58] apply for it again. And if you

[1:00:01] know, things change, things

[1:00:02] change. But at the moment, we

[1:00:05] do have dedicated funding from

[1:00:05] 53 11 Ford on local routes

[1:00:07] such as the island Hopper. But

[1:00:13] there's no guarantee. It's

[1:00:13] it's a concern because in

[1:00:14] order to have a successful

[1:00:15] transit system, we have to

[1:00:17] have consistency. So.

[1:00:18] >> I think that we need to

[1:00:21] really pay attention to that.

[1:00:21] And I know what this is going

[1:00:23] to be controversial. And I

[1:00:24] don't like saying it, but I

[1:00:27] think we have to get our

[1:00:27] amazing director Wilkens

[1:00:31] involved. He's here. He's

[1:00:32] hearing me say that. So if we

[1:00:35] could get him involved little

[1:00:38] loose. Well will and folks

[1:00:41] know what I'm talking about.

[1:00:42] Some folks know what I'm

[1:00:42] talking about and not going to

[1:00:46] say the word but we need I

[1:00:46] think we need to start

[1:00:51] actually thinking about it.

[1:00:52] And dedicating increases to

[1:00:53] transit to have the

[1:00:53] consistency for our system

[1:00:56] because we don't have a

[1:00:57] dedicated fund for transit. We

[1:00:58] have to have it so anyway,

[1:00:58] that's my. Those are my

[1:01:01] thoughts. Not for this budget.

[1:01:01] Going forward. We need to

[1:01:04] figure it out because I you

[1:01:05] know, seems like every year

[1:01:06] for the last 3 or 4 years, we

[1:01:11] have the same. Problem. Why we

[1:01:14] do have the 50% funding we

[1:01:15] we've identified that. That's

[1:01:16] something we're going to have

[1:01:18] every year. It's just for all

[1:01:21] of the, you know, the Deval it

[1:01:22] bore for the extra services or

[1:01:23] the services that are outside

[1:01:26] of what the core services.

[1:01:26] Those are ones that we do not

[1:01:27] necessarily have dedicated

[1:01:30] funding for.

[1:01:31] >> Just couple other last

[1:01:33] point before imminent. As for

[1:01:34] a vote.

[1:01:34] >> The 1 million dollars for

[1:01:36] storm thank you are fantastic.

[1:01:40] Director of transit for the

[1:01:44] 1 million dollars storm water.

[1:01:45] This what would staff

[1:01:46] recommends should should be

[1:01:47] have a discussion item, a

[1:01:48] presentation about the options

[1:01:51] for the commission to weigh in

[1:01:53] on what you want for Inc. I'm

[1:01:55] sorry, the storage. Stuart of

[1:01:57] money for the 1 million

[1:01:57] dollars can. How can the

[1:02:00] commission weigh in to provide

[1:02:04] some feedback as in terms of

[1:02:05] priorities for that 1 million

[1:02:09] facility. Let me let me grab

[1:02:09] this one. You look like

[1:02:14] they're ready. MR. Mayor and

[1:02:15] Commission, the process to

[1:02:17] direct where funds go. You

[1:02:19] control, you control that by

[1:02:20] approving the cip process that

[1:02:24] we present it. Matt does a

[1:02:25] great opportunity because

[1:02:26] obviously the steward for

[1:02:26] funds are earmarked

[1:02:27] specifically for certain

[1:02:28] things. So.

[1:02:29] >> Matt can present that which

[1:02:31] he already has. We have a plan

[1:02:34] cip in front of you. It should

[1:02:36] be something that you all are

[1:02:37] reviewing. If there's a

[1:02:38] passion point or a location

[1:02:39] that you want us to re rack.

[1:02:41] Keep in mind, we were unaware

[1:02:43] of what the stewardship

[1:02:43] funding was going to Now that

[1:02:44] we have an indication of a

[1:02:47] five-year funding mechanism,

[1:02:47] we feel very comfortable in

[1:02:49] planning accordingly. But you

[1:02:51] tell us and there's

[1:02:53] iterations. But the process

[1:02:53] you already own the process is

[1:02:54] you tell us where you want

[1:02:56] that money to cup.

[1:02:58] >> I think that would be a

[1:02:59] good another good presentation

[1:03:02] or discussions. So that

[1:03:02] especially in light of our

[1:03:07] legislative affairs process

[1:03:08] directing law or lobbyists to

[1:03:11] try to go after more money.

[1:03:11] What those projects are and

[1:03:15] what would be shovel ready.

[1:03:16] And in a expectation for the

[1:03:19] commission so that we know all

[1:03:20] 7 of us could be making the

[1:03:23] phone calls, all 7 of us could

[1:03:23] be, you know, going to

[1:03:25] Tallahassee and say, hey,

[1:03:28] this, 10th and Harris or

[1:03:29] whatever, the next whatever.

[1:03:29] Next flood mitigation project

[1:03:32] is. So that that's really what

[1:03:33] I'm saying is what I guess we

[1:03:34] would. It would be good for us

[1:03:35] to have a presentation soon

[1:03:36] about what those priorities

[1:03:41] are. So we're up to date, MR.

[1:03:41] So fielding that the request

[1:03:44] you would like a presentation

[1:03:48] at the next budget meeting.

[1:03:50] Are you want know whatever you

[1:03:51] sober up, Tobar, Spine board

[1:03:51] NOVEMBER? I mean, I think I

[1:03:53] think we should have it this

[1:03:56] year in light of upcoming

[1:03:57] legislative process. If you

[1:03:59] give us an opportunity, I feel

[1:04:00] NOVEMBER would not to delay.

[1:04:01] How about this? Give will will

[1:04:02] exhaust every effort to

[1:04:06] deliver it on OCTOBER. Ok,

[1:04:07] first mats great. The last

[1:04:08] thing we're going to be

[1:04:09] talking to water quality. The

[1:04:09] next items will skip those

[1:04:12] items and then the other

[1:04:13] comments that we receive from

[1:04:14] the public eye plan to follow

[1:04:14] up with an email and then we

[1:04:19] can go from their offline ok,

[1:04:20] before ask for a vote, we have

[1:04:21] more comments. Okay.

[1:04:21] Commissioner Castillo and then

[1:04:22] Commissioner Haskell. Ok, I

[1:04:28] just want to know. Senator

[1:04:29] Rodriguez and moving for

[1:04:33] yesterday, bringing us

[1:04:34] 5 million, 500,000 dollars to

[1:04:39] city Hall. The city in some of

[1:04:40] us are we went to Tallahassee

[1:04:44] and we brought her home we did

[1:04:48] do terrific job by. I never

[1:04:49] will. I felt like I was back

[1:04:49] in school the way I was woken

[1:04:51] them holes and Tallahassee.

[1:04:53] And I want you to know that it

[1:04:55] wasn't an easy thing to bring

[1:04:57] it home. Likely voter at home.

[1:05:01] But job low down again, out

[1:05:07] lobbyists brought home

[1:05:09] 5 million, $500 yesterday and

[1:05:11] what a check to us. That was a

[1:05:12] beautiful day. Thank you,

[1:05:16] commissioner school. Thank

[1:05:17] you. I want to bring the

[1:05:19] conversation back to transit.

[1:05:21] If you could pull that slide

[1:05:26] back up and budget highlights.

[1:05:28] So and maybe MISTER Manager,

[1:05:29] you could ask Rogelio to come

[1:05:32] back up to answer some.

[1:05:33] >> MR. Commissioner Haskell.

[1:05:34] We will do that season. Come

[1:05:37] back So my question is about

[1:05:41] right now about serving Staten

[1:05:42] Island.

[1:05:42] >> overview says services,

[1:05:45] Stock Island at 2 stops about

[1:05:46] on us. 1, 1, at 3rd Street and

[1:05:50] one and Hurricane Hall. Can

[1:05:51] you please explain? There's

[1:05:54] there's 2 sides of Staten

[1:05:55] Island. There's the city owns

[1:05:57] the side with the college and

[1:05:59] the hospital. Is there bus

[1:06:03] service in this current island

[1:06:04] hopper that's services that

[1:06:06] side of Staten Island? Yes,

[1:06:09] both directions. Ok? Every 45

[1:06:14] minutes said is correct. Cable

[1:06:15] or Keys Medical Center or

[1:06:15] Garden be apartments there

[1:06:18] along with the college. Okay.

[1:06:18] Great.

[1:06:18] >> The other side of Staten

[1:06:27] Island is county owned county.

[1:06:27] Didn't seem to be interested

[1:06:30] supporting our bus service on

[1:06:32] that side of the island. But

[1:06:37] maybe change their minds do we

[1:06:38] have in this island Hopper Do

[1:06:40] we have any service that goes

[1:06:42] into the county side of

[1:06:42] stepped out of the sides. The

[1:06:44] 2 stops on us. One. No, we

[1:06:48] okay. So let's let's get the

[1:06:53] county that chip in some for

[1:06:54] >> Commissioner they did say

[1:06:55] they were going to revisit

[1:06:55] that in there. I think their

[1:07:00] DECEMBER meeting so we we can

[1:07:02] talk to our elected officials

[1:07:03] and we can encourage them. And

[1:07:04] look this. I think that shows

[1:07:04] good faith, right? We are

[1:07:07] doing our part and I think

[1:07:07] they're gonna want to do their

[1:07:09] part. So I think it's all it's

[1:07:09] all good, MR. Maher, MR.

[1:07:16] Bennett. Commissioner has just

[1:07:16] for awareness. We've provided

[1:07:21] them

[1:07:22] >> cost analysis of additional

[1:07:25] stops. If we add x, y and z,

[1:07:25] we believe this is what we had

[1:07:29] some empirical data of this is

[1:07:29] what we believe it would cause

[1:07:30] additional. So it's not that

[1:07:33] we just gave the counties some

[1:07:36] number arbitrarily we we

[1:07:36] Rogelio and Rod really dug

[1:07:40] deep to say, ok, we'll if this

[1:07:40] is the additional locations

[1:07:43] you would like for us to

[1:07:44] service. This is the dollar

[1:07:46] amount that that would be

[1:07:47] equivalent to. I want to be

[1:07:48] very clear if you give us

[1:07:51] direction, too, at a stops, we

[1:07:55] believe our team will do that

[1:07:56] and we'll do everything will

[1:07:57] endeavor to do everything we

[1:07:59] can to support that.

[1:08:00] >> Thank you. Okay. I think we

[1:08:04] are ready for a vote. Okay.

[1:08:07] MADAM I'm sorry. Okay.

[1:08:08] Commissioner Carey, I just

[1:08:09] want to make one one more

[1:08:12] comment we should be very

[1:08:13] cautious when we get e-mails

[1:08:14] for requests for money because

[1:08:18] >> the U.S. Junior Football

[1:08:19] League did reach out just now.

[1:08:21] And that request was not from

[1:08:21] door of representatives from

[1:08:24] their peak. They will get with

[1:08:26] you. But we just have to be

[1:08:31] careful like I know it. Looks

[1:08:31] and feels and sounds like it

[1:08:32] might be coming from the use

[1:08:34] leaks, but it's not. So I just

[1:08:43] wanted to make that comment.

[1:08:43] We'll

[1:08:43] >> At MADAM Clerk, can you

[1:08:45] please call the roll? We need

[1:08:46] a motion. Is there a motion to

[1:08:49] approve? So moved? Okay.

[1:08:51] Commissioner mascot moves to

[1:08:51] approve Commissioner Rossi.

[1:08:54] Seconds up. Please call the

[1:08:55] Roll.

[1:08:55] >> Commissioner Carey, yes,

[1:08:59] Commissioner mascot. Yes.

[1:09:00] Commissioner Ross Yes. Mayor

[1:09:04] Coffman. Yes. Motion passes.

[1:09:05] Item number 3, directing the

[1:09:07] city manager to procure

[1:09:10] equipment at an estimated cost

[1:09:15] of $46,534.93 to be installed

[1:09:16] on Le Mans structure located

[1:09:16] in the key West Harbor for the

[1:09:19] purpose of performing

[1:09:19] continuous harbor monitoring

[1:09:21] and water quality testing in

[1:09:23] the harbor, directing the city

[1:09:23] manager to include all

[1:09:24] necessary funding for the

[1:09:28] continuous monitoring program.

[1:09:28] In the says the city's fiscal

[1:09:29] year 2027 budget authorizing

[1:09:32] the city manager to execute

[1:09:32] any necessary documents

[1:09:35] consistent there with. And we

[1:09:36] do have public comment. The

[1:09:37] first is Sarah Compton

[1:09:44] followed by our low Haskell.

[1:09:47] >> I just wanted to express my

[1:09:48] support for this item. I'm

[1:09:49] very excited about it. This

[1:09:53] was a very energizing

[1:09:56] conversation that we had at

[1:09:59] the last see, thank you so

[1:10:00] much for bringing this forward

[1:10:02] in getting this ball rolling.

[1:10:03] i think all of the residents

[1:10:04] of Key West, thank you. So

[1:10:04] many people have been waiting

[1:10:07] for this for such a long time.

[1:10:08] And I think this really gives

[1:10:13] us a chance. 2, you know,

[1:10:15] really look at what's

[1:10:16] happening in the harbor. You

[1:10:19] know, if if the cruise ships

[1:10:20] are making our coral stronger,

[1:10:21] this will show us that. And

[1:10:22] they you know this. So the

[1:10:26] monitoring is very exciting.

[1:10:26] >> Our low and then will

[1:10:30] Benson.

[1:10:30] >> Mayor commissioners are low

[1:10:34] Haskell 7.16, love Lane. Yes,

[1:10:35] I also want to say thank you,

[1:10:36] See, this is just a great,

[1:10:40] great piece of work. Great to

[1:10:41] hear the conversation last

[1:10:44] week really happy with some

[1:10:44] seeing this to, you know,

[1:10:46] direction. I stood up here at

[1:10:47] the last meeting. You know, I

[1:10:48] said something to the effect

[1:10:49] of, you know, first, let's fix

[1:10:50] what was what was broken. And

[1:10:53] I think this is a just a great

[1:10:54] step to repair. You know what

[1:10:55] we lost in terms of water,

[1:10:55] quality monitoring over the

[1:11:00] last couple of years. So just,

[1:11:01] you know, hats off to you. And

[1:11:01] I also really enjoyed that

[1:11:05] that discussion. So, you know,

[1:11:06] that's that's number one. And

[1:11:08] then next steps. And it's

[1:11:09] it's, you know, discuss it

[1:11:11] last time. And I know staff is

[1:11:13] looking at expanding that

[1:11:15] testing to look scrubber

[1:11:19] wastewater discharges. Great

[1:11:20] water ballast tank So I

[1:11:21] recognize that that's a that's

[1:11:25] a, you former monitoring

[1:11:27] that's for the experts. We

[1:11:28] know that we had worked for

[1:11:29] certain parameters and will

[1:11:31] get with the experts. You all

[1:11:32] staff will get with the

[1:11:32] experts to figure out what

[1:11:35] works for those other

[1:11:36] substances. You know, I'll

[1:11:39] just point out that those

[1:11:42] things a scrubber wastewater

[1:11:46] grant water ballast federally

[1:11:47] regulated as discharges for

[1:11:50] ocean going vessels, vessels.

[1:11:51] They're all addressed in title

[1:11:53] 40 of the federal code. Part

[1:11:55] one. 39. So I think part of

[1:11:56] what monitoring program will

[1:11:57] do will help us establish, you

[1:11:58] know, whether or not a large

[1:12:01] vessels are in compliance with

[1:12:03] federal law and, you know,

[1:12:03] defer to the scientists as far

[1:12:07] as how to how to test for

[1:12:10] that. The other thing I would

[1:12:11] say given in particular that

[1:12:13] that direction is so clear to

[1:12:15] kind of replace what had been

[1:12:16] there before. I think this

[1:12:17] could be a great opportunity

[1:12:22] for the city to reach back out

[1:12:25] to the college to see if they

[1:12:26] have no advice from from their

[1:12:26] experience with that material,

[1:12:27] whether it's just about

[1:12:28] getting the equipment

[1:12:31] purchase, right? Or

[1:12:32] installation tricks of the

[1:12:32] trade, you know that that kind

[1:12:34] of thing that they would know.

[1:12:37] I think the city I mean, the

[1:12:38] the citizens, the people of

[1:12:43] the city saw a lot you know,

[1:12:44] sort of heated moments between

[1:12:45] the city of Key West and the

[1:12:45] college. And I think this

[1:12:47] would be a great opportunity

[1:12:49] to to show the community that,

[1:12:50] you know, the city and the

[1:12:51] college still are wonderful

[1:12:53] partners and work together on

[1:12:55] think so. You know, I haven't

[1:12:56] haven't talked to them, but I

[1:12:56] would imagine they would have

[1:12:57] something to offer. I don't

[1:13:00] relish invitation to to be an

[1:13:01] adviser on this on this

[1:13:05] project. That's Thank you. Rj

[1:13:06] to support this resolution.

[1:13:06] Thank you, Commissioner,

[1:13:07] Aussie for for bringing it

[1:13:09] forward.

[1:13:13] >> Will and then Bart Smith.

[1:13:17] >> Good evening, MISTER. Mayor

[1:13:18] Commissioners. Well, Benson, I

[1:13:21] run a charter fishing service

[1:13:22] out of city marina over there.

[1:13:22] One of our small business

[1:13:25] owners here in Key West. Is

[1:13:26] this kind of striking to me

[1:13:27] tonight, looking over that

[1:13:32] budget. As 332 million

[1:13:34] dollars. That's a huge budget.

[1:13:35] For the city of Key West.

[1:13:38] There's a lot that we are

[1:13:38] responsible for here. You

[1:13:42] guys. Our response. One of my

[1:13:43] dad. Great job. By the way to

[1:13:45] the team that put that

[1:13:48] together. It's a really

[1:13:48] important thing. It's a really

[1:13:49] important, you know, thing

[1:13:51] that we're running here and it

[1:13:53] just kind of struck me a

[1:13:55] little bit. You know that our

[1:13:57] businesses, our property

[1:13:59] owners, you know, all the

[1:14:00] people that have interest here

[1:14:03] in the city of Key West. It's

[1:14:04] really valuable as we can see

[1:14:05] reflected by that budget. And

[1:14:08] I would argue that, you know,

[1:14:09] the thing that and you've

[1:14:10] heard me say this before, that

[1:14:13] makes it special is the water

[1:14:13] that surround us. It's this

[1:14:15] unique environment that we

[1:14:16] live in. When visitors come

[1:14:18] here, they want activities to

[1:14:19] do. You know, they want to be

[1:14:20] able to go out and I would say

[1:14:22] more and more as we look into

[1:14:23] the future, making sure that

[1:14:26] that part of our economy is

[1:14:26] strong and vibrant is

[1:14:34] paramount. I really appreciate

[1:14:35] see you saying that you want

[1:14:37] to know what's going on? I do

[1:14:38] because I think that that

[1:14:39] you're going to run a

[1:14:40] business. You're going to run

[1:14:41] the city Qs. You're going to

[1:14:42] have this big budget

[1:14:43] understanding what's going on

[1:14:46] in these waters is really

[1:14:47] important. And yes, it's down

[1:14:47] there in the harbor, but it's

[1:14:50] also down on the beach. It's

[1:14:51] also out by the trash and in

[1:14:53] the sailboat fields. There's a

[1:14:55] lot of issues and I would

[1:14:57] argue that it is the single

[1:14:57] most important thing that we

[1:15:01] pay attention to. Just want to

[1:15:03] say thank you for And if we're

[1:15:05] talking about losing water

[1:15:05] quality, whatever happened in

[1:15:06] the bat, you know, in the

[1:15:09] past. Here's the opportunity

[1:15:10] to rebuild trust with the

[1:15:12] public right here tonight. You

[1:15:13] have a resolution in front of

[1:15:16] you, you can vote for and we

[1:15:18] can. We can move forward with

[1:15:20] clarity with scientific

[1:15:23] certainty and we can make

[1:15:24] great decisions on a really,

[1:15:26] really important issue here in

[1:15:27] the city. That is, as I would

[1:15:29] argue, underpins all of this.

[1:15:31] And it is a huge, huge deal

[1:15:33] that struck me tonight. And I

[1:15:35] think doing this, it's going

[1:15:35] to be a great idea. Thank you

[1:15:44] guys. That's good evening.

[1:15:44] Bart Smith and a half Pierre

[1:15:47] be.

[1:15:49] >> First, we support water,

[1:15:51] quality monitoring that is

[1:15:51] scientifically based reviewed

[1:15:55] and approved by professionals.

[1:15:58] We do not support to and must

[1:15:59] reiterate is the patently

[1:16:01] false statements being made by

[1:16:03] representatives of safer,

[1:16:04] cleaner ships regarding

[1:16:05] temporary turbidity from

[1:16:09] cruise ship Prop wash and the

[1:16:09] claim that there was 35

[1:16:10] violations of state and

[1:16:11] federal water quality

[1:16:13] standards operating at Pier b.

[1:16:17] These statements are untrue.

[1:16:18] Here. Turning to them you. The

[1:16:19] prop is not a violation of

[1:16:21] state and federal water

[1:16:22] quality. Your former interim

[1:16:25] city manager Todd Stone

[1:16:26] confirm with the Coast Guard

[1:16:27] which enforces environmental

[1:16:31] protection. The prop was for

[1:16:32] many vessels, not a violation.

[1:16:32] State, federal water, quality

[1:16:36] standards. These false

[1:16:37] allegations of violations of

[1:16:39] water, quality standards are

[1:16:40] made by advocates trying to

[1:16:40] eliminate cruise ship tourism

[1:16:44] at any cost. These false

[1:16:47] claims which are pushed out

[1:16:49] e-mails and articles hurt the

[1:16:50] city's reputation as they

[1:16:50] claim nothing is being done by

[1:16:53] the city. It is a disservice

[1:16:58] to the community. Ask in the

[1:16:59] future when someone stands up

[1:17:01] and falsely claims are

[1:17:01] violations that staff corrects

[1:17:02] these false statements of

[1:17:04] violations at Kirby. If you're

[1:17:09] going to buy equipment. For

[1:17:10] continuous real-time,

[1:17:11] monitoring of water, quality.

[1:17:12] Confirmed word is appropriate

[1:17:15] to locate it by comprehensive

[1:17:17] water quality plan prepared by

[1:17:18] independent expert group in

[1:17:23] peer reviewed. And gauging

[1:17:23] professionals and your

[1:17:24] professional right now stand

[1:17:29] tech. To not to not simply

[1:17:31] arbitrarily place it in one

[1:17:32] spot is the appropriate way to

[1:17:33] determine where to place this

[1:17:37] equipment. To just throw it in

[1:17:39] front of a bolt or a service

[1:17:41] cruise ship is not a

[1:17:41] comprehensive and

[1:17:42] scientifically objective

[1:17:44] assessment of water quality.

[1:17:45] There are beaches where

[1:17:46] children swim that you not

[1:17:49] have constant monitoring.

[1:17:50] There are these areas were

[1:17:51] level boards are that are at

[1:17:53] that do not have consomme are.

[1:17:54] Maybe there are better places

[1:17:57] for such an expenditure. And

[1:18:02] mayor. Great bringing it back

[1:18:03] to the commission, a

[1:18:04] commission Rossi. This is your

[1:18:05] item to going introduce it.

[1:18:08] >> Yeah, I'm ready to they're

[1:18:09] do sit. We've heard from both

[1:18:14] sides tonight here. Right?

[1:18:14] Who's wrong? We're going to

[1:18:18] find out. Stand tax, going to

[1:18:19] come in and they're going to

[1:18:22] monitor not only the harbor.

[1:18:23] But also been trashmore area.

[1:18:28] And that area over city

[1:18:28] beaches. So we all know

[1:18:31] exactly what's going on here.

[1:18:34] The most important thing is

[1:18:39] that have do it logical way.

[1:18:41] And that means that we're not

[1:18:41] after a storm because we know

[1:18:44] what happens there. And also I

[1:18:44] want it done in garrison. But

[1:18:48] so, you know, all right. And

[1:18:50] will you have a good outcome?

[1:18:54] Yes, sir. You have fit. You

[1:18:55] You have a very good point.

[1:18:57] But you made I want you to

[1:18:59] know that and I too want to

[1:19:00] make sure that we first keep

[1:19:03] our pristine waters for the

[1:19:06] future for children. Okay.

[1:19:07] Doing this, we're going to do

[1:19:11] that. But we have to make sure

[1:19:14] won't sign. Saying does is but

[1:19:16] were, you know, there's per

[1:19:17] that's in there and that

[1:19:19] arbery moving fast. Summit

[1:19:22] even down there the bout

[1:19:23] thrusters, what they call

[1:19:28] fans. Okay. We'll see what's

[1:19:28] going to happen down there.

[1:19:31] You might be surprised. Okay.

[1:19:32] Oscar ballots covers that you

[1:19:34] were talking about covers that

[1:19:37] I would be shocked. It's

[1:19:39] cruise ships were bumping gray

[1:19:42] water and they're scrubber

[1:19:43] water. They're to be honest

[1:19:47] with you. I just don't see it.

[1:19:48] So these this sign that what

[1:19:52] we're doing here is going

[1:19:53] do-everything guys and I want

[1:19:53] to move for approval. Second

[1:19:57] dose. Okay. We have a motion

[1:19:59] to approve Commissioner Rossi

[1:20:00] and second from Commissioner

[1:20:03] Castillo are going to continue

[1:20:03] discussion.

[1:20:04] >> MR. Manager, want to say

[1:20:06] something. MISTER Mayor

[1:20:08] Commissions, I believe it's

[1:20:09] appropriate that during this

[1:20:10] time to bring up Allison

[1:20:14] Allison. Would you be able to

[1:20:15] give us an update? I didn't

[1:20:17] believe that. We said last

[1:20:17] meeting we didn't need a

[1:20:22] resolution to move forward. So

[1:20:23] before we take a vote on this

[1:20:25] resolution. Allison One, thank

[1:20:26] you for all the hard work

[1:20:26] into. Could you update with

[1:20:27] the team has accomplished

[1:20:31] since the last meeting?

[1:20:32] >> I am very excited to say

[1:20:34] Not only did we find

[1:20:34] appropriate equipment, we

[1:20:37] found it almost have to price

[1:20:40] It can be in in a month. It

[1:20:41] can be deployed quicker and

[1:20:45] it's easier to maintain. So

[1:20:46] the great and the great part

[1:20:48] of that is it now comes in

[1:20:50] just under $25,000 which means

[1:20:50] only needed the 2 quotes which

[1:20:54] we've got. So it got ordered

[1:20:57] good job.

[1:20:57] >> Priority those reading

[1:21:01] years. Look.

[1:21:04] >> one other thing, though,

[1:21:06] just could the information I

[1:21:06] have is we will need another

[1:21:10] resolution in OCTOBER, though,

[1:21:11] and that is that is not

[1:21:11] correct. Can we get

[1:21:12] information about that from

[1:21:13] our legal department or so

[1:21:16] that? The full commission can

[1:21:18] have the full discussion about

[1:21:20] what the next steps Not just

[1:21:22] MR. Maher with discretion.

[1:21:25] Also want to make sure that we

[1:21:25] start all this, that we're

[1:21:30] doing it in over by Mount

[1:21:32] Trashmore over on city

[1:21:33] beaches. Okay. Higgs Beach

[1:21:37] sheriff spotted speech Dog via

[1:21:37] the reach. That's good for

[1:21:40] Taylor. You know, let's get a

[1:21:44] good idea of where words that

[1:21:44] your son, but it is. I'm going

[1:21:49] with imminent. So 100% agree

[1:21:51] with you, but we need money

[1:21:52] for that. We have to add that

[1:21:53] to our legislative agenda

[1:21:54] because we don't have the

[1:21:55] money in this budget for all

[1:21:56] of that.

[1:21:59] >> That means a comeback

[1:22:00] probably as part of what we

[1:22:02] hear in OCTOBER. But in any

[1:22:03] case, I think we first have to

[1:22:04] hear from the legal department

[1:22:07] about what the next steps are

[1:22:07] so that we can really

[1:22:08] understand how we're going to

[1:22:10] implement this equipment.

[1:22:14] >> MR. Mayor commissioners,

[1:22:14] yes. So specifically this is

[1:22:15] just for funding. And as the

[1:22:16] city manager said, it could

[1:22:18] have been done through his

[1:22:20] authority. This just left

[1:22:20] direction to make sure that

[1:22:24] was followed through on. But

[1:22:25] that's clearly in the process

[1:22:26] of being procured and Earp was

[1:22:28] pick. You're done being sent.

[1:22:30] So ultimately the concerns

[1:22:31] from the legal department is

[1:22:33] just to make sure whether it

[1:22:35] would be stantec or another

[1:22:35] company, whether we have to go

[1:22:36] back out to our fee just for

[1:22:38] the continuous monitoring

[1:22:40] excuse me, this concern would

[1:22:42] just be to make sure that the

[1:22:43] scope of the original rfp

[1:22:45] accounted for potential

[1:22:46] continuous monitoring. So the

[1:22:48] legal department is reviewing

[1:22:50] that now that however,

[1:22:51] something will pre presented

[1:22:51] to the commission in OCTOBER

[1:22:52] on how to move forward with

[1:22:55] that.

[1:22:55] >> Ok, thank you want get back

[1:22:59] to See so I think we also said

[1:23:00] at the last meeting that we

[1:23:02] wanted to get a break down on

[1:23:05] the costs for the additional

[1:23:07] monitoring. So Mount

[1:23:08] Trashmore, the encouraged the

[1:23:08] beaches, even though we don't

[1:23:10] have that in our budget. We

[1:23:14] want to know, you know. So

[1:23:16] when we do go to Tallahassee

[1:23:17] or wherever to ask for more

[1:23:20] money because we want to know

[1:23:20] what the what the current

[1:23:22] budget will, how far that will

[1:23:23] take us and then how we, you

[1:23:28] know, we can go further if we

[1:23:29] can get additional funding

[1:23:31] because in my opinion, this

[1:23:32] should be something that we

[1:23:34] focus on our legislative

[1:23:37] agenda. It's Listen. When

[1:23:40] people hear negative things

[1:23:41] about the water in the keys,

[1:23:43] that just doesn't hurt

[1:23:43] tourism. Here. It hurts. All

[1:23:46] of Florida tourism. Everybody

[1:23:48] has understand that right? Is

[1:23:52] everybody understand that. We

[1:23:53] will. We need to protect our

[1:23:57] water, but that the the state

[1:23:57] legislature should have an

[1:23:58] interest in protecting the

[1:24:00] water, Florida and the Florida

[1:24:00] Keys to protect tourism and

[1:24:04] everything. So I so I think

[1:24:05] we're going we're going to get

[1:24:05] that in I am I right about

[1:24:09] that. MR. Maher Commission,

[1:24:09] you gave us direction to do

[1:24:12] that. Our team is

[1:24:13] >> actually acquiring that

[1:24:14] information will present

[1:24:15] OCTOBER. Before we go back to

[1:24:17] see, let's hear from

[1:24:19] commissioner has thank you.

[1:24:23] And another thing we can is

[1:24:24] encourage other partners.

[1:24:27] Other state agencies.

[1:24:30] >> To work with us.

[1:24:31] >> And continue the work that

[1:24:31] they do that Florida

[1:24:34] Department of Health.

[1:24:36] >> Does test many of the

[1:24:39] Beaches, Hague Smathers what

[1:24:41] about twice a month? I think

[1:24:44] and it's published. You can,

[1:24:45] you know, read it every month

[1:24:49] to comes out and I was

[1:24:50] following it for several

[1:24:51] years. And I like swimming at

[1:24:52] Simonton Street Beach, which

[1:24:55] was never tested. So. I asked

[1:24:57] him to add it. They said,

[1:24:58] well, we don't have the budget

[1:25:00] to do that this year. I said,

[1:25:01] well, how about next year? Can

[1:25:02] you see if you can put in the

[1:25:06] budget Simonton Beach is being

[1:25:07] tested now. I MAY not have

[1:25:08] been the only citizen that

[1:25:09] requested it, but, you know,

[1:25:13] they were responsive. So

[1:25:13] Florida Department of Health

[1:25:14] is doing excellent work, you

[1:25:16] know, in testing I

[1:25:18] recreational beaches letting

[1:25:23] us know the results. It could

[1:25:24] be my specific. You know, it

[1:25:25] tells you the re the level of

[1:25:26] fecal coliform, but it doesn't

[1:25:27] tell you where that fecal

[1:25:28] coliform came from this in

[1:25:31] from sea gulls from ball in

[1:25:34] whatever. We also work with

[1:25:34] our partners and not other

[1:25:37] agencies and thank Absolutely.

[1:25:39] Yes. Commissioner Carey, thank

[1:25:42] you. MISTER Mayor Allison,

[1:25:42] have a quick question for you.

[1:25:47] That's okay. How soon will we

[1:25:49] have the results from that

[1:25:53] water quality testing. The we

[1:25:55] will have the equipment and a

[1:25:57] month. But how we go forward

[1:26:00] and who picks it up to install

[1:26:00] know that that's up to

[1:26:01] illegal. So we don't know that

[1:26:03] yet.

[1:26:03] >> So could be like a year

[1:26:05] before we get risotto. I would

[1:26:08] say at the minimum, if you are

[1:26:10] allowed to go with stantec, it

[1:26:12] would it would be in OCTOBER.

[1:26:15] We have results in OCTOBER.

[1:26:15] You would start getting the

[1:26:18] first and points so it would

[1:26:22] wait installed in deployed. I

[1:26:24] know we have data points from

[1:26:25] the last round as water

[1:26:27] quality testing, but where

[1:26:32] those results that. So the raw

[1:26:33] data has been given over to

[1:26:36] sew up a has it. The epa has

[1:26:39] it and Stantec has it. So

[1:26:40] they're one of the reasons why

[1:26:41] we put in it see the reference

[1:26:44] to a no-cost extension at the

[1:26:48] very least was because biggest

[1:26:49] picture of this contract was

[1:26:49] them to look at all the data

[1:26:52] we already have. Find out

[1:26:56] where their problem areas.

[1:26:56] Pitch to you. What we could do

[1:26:59] about those problem. Areas and

[1:26:59] then actually designed the

[1:27:02] water quality monitoring track

[1:27:02] the fact that we fixed

[1:27:05] something. We don't want to

[1:27:08] sample for sampling sake. We

[1:27:10] want to be if we decide to

[1:27:11] figure out mitigate of effects

[1:27:15] for Prop wash. Then we need to

[1:27:15] see whether we made a

[1:27:20] difference or not. So I guess

[1:27:21] just never for one second. I

[1:27:21] hate to be rude, but I want to

[1:27:22] acknowledge that Commissioner

[1:27:24] Castillo needs to leave.

[1:27:25] >> For his district 6 meeting

[1:27:26] and I just don't want anyone

[1:27:29] to think that he is doing

[1:27:31] leaving for any other reason.

[1:27:32] He has a legitimate reason.

[1:27:33] And I want to say thank you,

[1:27:33] Commissioner Castillo and I'll

[1:27:36] see you at the District. 6

[1:27:37] meetings I call the question

[1:27:41] then before he departs up.

[1:27:44] Could could we vote? That

[1:27:44] we're ready to vote because

[1:27:45] then he could then

[1:27:45] commissioner, because you can

[1:27:46] vote are what's the pleasure

[1:27:49] of the board? I would like

[1:27:50] just finish asking located,

[1:27:52] going pay will can you wait

[1:27:53] another minute? He's probably

[1:27:56] going to be late.

[1:27:56] >> The quick time he look,

[1:27:58] sorry, law hate. I would like

[1:28:02] to When we're going to have

[1:28:03] some results. You said we have

[1:28:03] all the data point. We're

[1:28:04] waiting for Stantec to give us

[1:28:08] answers on that.

[1:28:09] >> as as reported DECEMBER is

[1:28:12] when they intend to report on

[1:28:13] the that what they found from

[1:28:16] all of the data analysis.

[1:28:16] Okay. So that is going give

[1:28:17] you a rough idea where we

[1:28:21] could go with that just within

[1:28:22] testing for a long, long time.

[1:28:23] But it doesn't sound like

[1:28:24] we've gotten any answers for a

[1:28:25] long, long time when exactly

[1:28:27] what's going just got to love

[1:28:28] this

[1:28:29] >> The epa, epa report on the

[1:28:30] agenda from the last meeting

[1:28:33] and it has all the data in

[1:28:36] So it was there. They they

[1:28:37] have been battering the voting

[1:28:37] analyst some of it has just

[1:28:39] shown up.
