general public comment on any

38
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:25,750
special meetings. It's just

39
00:01:25,750 --> 00:01:27,952
because it's item driven, not

40
00:01:27,952 --> 00:01:28,487

meeting, MR. Mayor, I trust

rules when we start with

52
00:01:48,941 --> 00:01:51,941

is not 1, 2, or 3 items on the

86
00:02:58,244 --> 00:03:01,244

00:04:36,345 --> 00:04:37,279
>> Good evening. Mayor

137
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:38,346
Commissioners, Carrie Baker,

138
00:04:38,346 --> 00:04:38,881
executive director of U.S.

139
00:04:38,881 --> 00:04:39,447
Chamber of Commerce, the

140
00:04:39,447 --> 00:04:41,847
largest and oldest business

141
00:04:43,218 --> 00:04:44,519
organization in Key West. We

142
00:04:44,519 --> 00:04:45,354
recognize repairing the city

143
00:04:45,354 --> 00:04:45,921
budget is difficult and we

144
00:04:45,921 --> 00:04:47,560
appreciate the considerable

145
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:48,357
time and effort that city

146
00:04:48,357 --> 00:04:48,923
staff he's put into this

147
00:04:48,923 --> 00:04:51,923
year's budget and bring it

148
00:04:52,962 --> 00:04:53,962
forward at rollback. We also

149
00:04:53,962 --> 00:04:54,529
recognize that as property

150
00:04:54,529 --> 00:04:55,640
values continue to increase

151
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,199
the size of the budget is

152
00:04:57,199 --> 00:04:57,733
increased as well. That makes

153
00:04:57,733 --> 00:04:59,340
the decisions before the

154
00:04:59,340 --> 00:05:00,702
commission extremely

155
00:05:00,702 --> 00:05:01,670
important. He west businesses

156
00:05:01,670 --> 00:05:04,507
are ready are already under

157
00:05:04,507 --> 00:05:05,707
tremendous financial pressure.

158
00:05:05,707 --> 00:05:06,308
They are among the city's

159
00:05:06,308 --> 00:05:07,977
largest taxpayers while also

160
00:05:07,977 --> 00:05:10,377
facing county taxes precinct

161
00:05:11,747 --> 00:05:12,847
these higher wages rising

162
00:05:12,847 --> 00:05:15,247
operating costs, inflation and

163
00:05:15,651 --> 00:05:16,452
rapidly increasing insurance

164
00:05:16,452 --> 00:05:18,421
expenses, every additional tax

165
00:05:18,421 --> 00:05:19,222
fee or ongoing expense has an

166
00:05:19,222 --> 00:05:21,622
impact. Don't whether a

167
00:05:22,858 --> 00:05:24,260
business remain here, hire

168
00:05:24,260 --> 00:05:24,494
employees. Invest and

169
00:05:24,494 --> 00:05:26,162
importantly continue

170
00:05:26,162 --> 00:05:27,290
contributing to our local

171
00:05:27,290 --> 00:05:27,597
economy at this point. The

172
00:05:27,597 --> 00:05:29,997
right response ability rest

173
00:05:30,466 --> 00:05:32,101
with the commission to weigh

174
00:05:32,101 --> 00:05:32,869
the competing priorities and

175
00:05:32,869 --> 00:05:33,469
make difficult decisions about

176
00:05:33,469 --> 00:05:35,938
what should move forward and

177
00:05:35,938 --> 00:05:36,706
what MAY need to wait. We

178
00:05:36,706 --> 00:05:37,707
understand that their requests

179
00:05:37,707 --> 00:05:40,107
for additional services and

180
00:05:40,176 --> 00:05:41,678
programs that residents value

181
00:05:41,678 --> 00:05:43,213
at the same time, the city has

182
00:05:43,213 --> 00:05:44,314
significant infrastructure

183
00:05:44,314 --> 00:05:44,881
needs and costly repairs that

184
00:05:44,881 --> 00:05:47,281
would require attention and

185
00:05:47,483 --> 00:05:50,387
the years ahead before adding

186
00:05:50,387 --> 00:05:51,200
significant ongoing expenses.

187
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:51,521
We encourage the commission to

188
00:05:51,521 --> 00:05:53,521
consider whether their

189
00:05:54,570 --> 00:05:55,825
services are truly a priority,

190
00:05:55,825 --> 00:05:56,960
identify sustainable funding

191
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:57,593
where possible and look

192
00:05:57,593 --> 00:05:59,993
carefully at long-term impacts

193
00:06:01,598 --> 00:06:02,232
on the taxpayer. Financial

194
00:06:02,232 --> 00:06:03,834
responsibility is an important

195
00:06:03,834 --> 00:06:05,335
commitment to the community

196
00:06:05,335 --> 00:06:05,969
and we hope it will continue

197
00:06:05,969 --> 00:06:06,569
to be an important

198
00:06:06,569 --> 00:06:07,203

206
00:06:22,586 --> 00:06:24,540

00:06:24,540 --> 00:06:24,955

will not be included fiscal

239
00:07:24,749 --> 00:07:25,350

240
00:07:25,350 --> 00:07:28,320
that will happen in 2028 once

241
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,540

I reach we tried to be very

248
00:07:39,865 --> 00:07:41,299
fiscally responsible, as is

249
00:07:41,299 --> 00:07:41,800
possible. And I know this

250
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,800

252
00:07:47,439 --> 00:07:48,390

00:07:52,711 --> 00:07:55,111

>> Since we MAY approve

money is in the budget for

262
00:08:09,961 --> 00:08:10,563
this year. But we won't. The

263
00:08:10,563 --> 00:08:13,320
citizens including all of us

00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,632

275
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:41,227
great. Thank you. It's the

276
00:08:41,227 --> 00:08:43,227
question. Thank you,

277
00:08:43,963 --> 00:08:44,964
Commissioner Haskell. I think

278
00:08:44,964 --> 00:08:45,498
that I see some of them

279
00:08:45,498 --> 00:08:47,498
selected. You. Everyone's

280
00:08:50,103 --> 00:08:52,505
good. I just want to say thank

281
00:08:52,505 --> 00:08:53,730
you to staff also having a

282
00:08:53,730 --> 00:08:56,730
budget at rollback was what

283
00:08:56,509 --> 00:08:57,510
the previous commission ask

284
00:08:57,510 --> 00:08:57,978
for.

285
00:08:57,978 --> 00:08:59,512
>> And you came your

286
00:08:59,512 --> 00:09:01,781
responsive. I appreciate that.

287
00:09:01,781 --> 00:09:04,181
And the taxpayers. Appreciate

288
00:09:05,385 --> 00:09:05,952
that. That is going to make us

289
00:09:05,952 --> 00:09:08,352
really sharpen our pencils

290
00:09:09,656 --> 00:09:10,257
over the next year for 2028 as

291
00:09:10,257 --> 00:09:10,790
Commissioner Haskell and that

292
00:09:10,790 --> 00:09:12,259
the commissioner mascots

293
00:09:12,259 --> 00:09:15,259
questions 0.2 So with that, I

294
00:09:16,429 --> 00:09:17,164
think we can call the roll.

295
00:09:17,164 --> 00:09:20,164
>> On edition we took you're

296
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,800
right about mayor. But if the

297
00:09:23,904 --> 00:09:24,705
of amendment passes for the

298
00:09:24,705 --> 00:09:25,272
Homestead reception, then

299
00:09:25,272 --> 00:09:28,272
we're going to have little

300
00:09:30,377 --> 00:09:30,978
change there. We're going to

301
00:09:30,978 --> 00:09:31,611
have to address them as well.

302
00:09:31,611 --> 00:09:34,611
Yeah, personally I don't think

303
00:09:34,614 --> 00:09:35,182
it's going to hurt is bad.

304
00:09:35,182 --> 00:09:37,718
Here is another counties in

305
00:09:37,718 --> 00:09:39,753
the state of Florida because

306
00:09:39,753 --> 00:09:43,353
we have I think 25 or 30% of

307
00:09:43,857 --> 00:09:45,359
our homes are homestead year.

308
00:09:45,359 --> 00:09:48,620
So its only on the Homestead

309
00:09:48,620 --> 00:09:50,462
in its $250,000. It's actually

310
00:09:50,698 --> 00:09:52,867
a lot less. It's only 16 or

311
00:09:52,867 --> 00:09:55,267
17%. Yeah. Isn't percent based

312
00:09:56,370 --> 00:09:57,700
on values? 17%? Yes. Okay. So

313
00:09:57,700 --> 00:09:57,671
we're not gonna take that big

314
00:09:57,671 --> 00:10:00,174
of a hit. We're going to take

315
00:10:00,174 --> 00:10:03,174
a hit. But it will.

316
00:10:04,450 --> 00:10:04,645
>> Yeah, there will be other

317
00:10:04,645 --> 00:10:05,246
municipalities and, you know,

318
00:10:05,246 --> 00:10:07,315
correct governments that that

319
00:10:07,315 --> 00:10:08,749
will effect and much more.

320
00:10:08,749 --> 00:10:09,350
>> Yeah, just want to bring

321
00:10:09,350 --> 00:10:11,319
that everyone's attention. Fy

322
00:10:11,319 --> 00:10:14,919
that this is coming down the

323
00:10:15,156 --> 00:10:16,958
road. If it does pass, the

324
00:10:16,958 --> 00:10:17,659
Finance Department reported to

325
00:10:17,659 --> 00:10:18,692
the previous commission that

326
00:10:18,692 --> 00:10:18,960
in your one, it would be about

327
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,795
$700,000.

328
00:10:20,795 --> 00:10:23,795
>> Current year one. And then

329
00:10:24,531 --> 00:10:25,500
we would have to make up. But

330
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:27,500
your point, commissioner,

331
00:10:27,768 --> 00:10:30,168

333
00:10:31,673 --> 00:10:32,240
70 80% reliance on homestead

334
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,240
taxation, property taxation

335
00:10:35,844 --> 00:10:36,478
they're going to really. And

336
00:10:36,478 --> 00:10:37,111
as we heard to this morning at

337
00:10:37,111 --> 00:10:39,514

338
00:10:39,514 --> 00:10:40,282

00:12:06,503 --> 00:12:07,103
The second item is to

382
00:12:07,103 --> 00:12:10,103
refurbish the hvac system to

383
00:12:10,106 --> 00:12:12,506
system. And replace old

384
00:12:12,642 --> 00:12:16,110
equipment. And the item is to

385
00:12:16,110 --> 00:12:19,110
replace. To remove and replace

386
00:12:19,116 --> 00:12:22,116
the fire escapes. Building is

387
00:12:22,251 --> 00:12:24,254
not even 10 years old. I

388
00:12:24,254 --> 00:12:26,223
remember going to the grand

389
00:12:26,223 --> 00:12:27,624
opening ceremony in JANUARY,

390
00:12:27,624 --> 00:12:30,240
actually JANUARY 7th of 2017.

391
00:12:32,663 --> 00:12:33,230
And we have to now you place

392
00:12:33,230 --> 00:12:34,498
the and I'm not challenging

393
00:12:34,498 --> 00:12:37,498
that their They're pushing the

394
00:12:37,768 --> 00:12:41,968
budget. But we have to push We

395
00:12:42,406 --> 00:12:44,541
have the roof. They have hvac

396
00:12:44,541 --> 00:12:45,976
system and replace a fire

397
00:12:45,976 --> 00:12:48,376
escapes. Any other any

398
00:12:48,913 --> 00:12:51,182
warranties still in effect

399
00:12:51,182 --> 00:12:51,749
that we can neither defend

400
00:12:51,749 --> 00:12:54,149
ourselves bill also wasn't

401
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:58,210
too. Curry holds contract to

402
00:12:58,210 --> 00:12:58,655
accountable. Is any kind I

403
00:12:58,655 --> 00:13:01,655
guarantee? I know it almost 10

404
00:13:03,227 --> 00:13:04,228
years. This kind of work

405
00:13:04,228 --> 00:13:05,950
should have to be done. And

406
00:13:05,950 --> 00:13:06,364
the building is not even 10

407
00:13:06,364 --> 00:13:06,964
years old. It's almost 10

408
00:13:06,964 --> 00:13:09,433
years would be 10 years this

409
00:13:09,433 --> 00:13:11,350
DECEMBER or JANUARY. Not To

410
00:13:11,350 --> 00:13:13,738
me, this is really concerning.

411
00:13:13,738 --> 00:13:15,572
It's not outrageous. And the

412
00:13:15,572 --> 00:13:18,572
other item pertains to Iran,

413
00:13:19,244 --> 00:13:20,578
the hockey rink on there's

414
00:13:20,578 --> 00:13:22,978
money in the capital

415
00:13:23,881 --> 00:13:25,881
improvements. New lighting,

416
00:13:29,721 --> 00:13:33,321
new Roof. Play Side boards, I

417
00:13:36,610 --> 00:13:38,229
on replace before the concrete

418
00:13:38,229 --> 00:13:40,130
floor and putting money in the

419
00:13:40,130 --> 00:13:42,330
budget. Hockey rink and I

420
00:13:42,330 --> 00:13:43,968
don't object to it. Why are we

421
00:13:43,968 --> 00:13:46,968
talking about putting a hockey

422
00:13:47,205 --> 00:13:50,242
rink at I speech. Just putting

423
00:13:50,242 --> 00:13:50,809
that out too, for your

424
00:13:50,809 --> 00:13:53,145
consideration. That's all I

425
00:13:53,145 --> 00:13:56,745
have to say. Thank you. Thank

426
00:13:58,984 --> 00:14:01,384
Marble and Sarah Compton.

427
00:14:02,387 --> 00:14:02,921
>> Mayor and commissioners.

428
00:14:02,921 --> 00:14:03,522
>> First, I would like to

429
00:14:03,522 --> 00:14:06,522
thank staff for this budget.

430
00:14:07,292 --> 00:14:08,193
This is 8 really, really great

431
00:14:08,193 --> 00:14:11,193
budget at the last commission

432
00:14:13,650 --> 00:14:15,000
meeting. We did touch.

433
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,400
>> On some water quality

434
00:14:17,969 --> 00:14:19,305
testing the canals and lake in

435
00:14:19,305 --> 00:14:22,305
district 4. I really hope that

436
00:14:22,908 --> 00:14:25,908
that can be considered before

437
00:14:25,945 --> 00:14:27,113
this is gets. Final approval.

438
00:14:27,113 --> 00:14:27,980
I would love to see water

439
00:14:27,980 --> 00:14:30,116
quality testing there. I've

440
00:14:30,116 --> 00:14:33,786
had a lot of residents talk to

441
00:14:33,786 --> 00:14:34,820
me about fish die offs

442
00:14:34,820 --> 00:14:36,855
possibly from hypoxia with the

443
00:14:36,855 --> 00:14:38,925
sargassum and things like

444
00:14:38,925 --> 00:14:39,759
that. And I would really love

445
00:14:39,759 --> 00:14:40,393
to see water quality testing

446
00:14:40,393 --> 00:14:40,960
there. I think it would mean a

447
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,960
lot to our neighbors. Thank

448
00:14:46,732 --> 00:14:47,900
you. Great. Think we should

449
00:14:47,900 --> 00:14:50,300
start with that presentation

450
00:14:52,838 --> 00:14:54,607
from staff.

451
00:14:54,607 --> 00:14:55,341
>> Okay. Good evening, mayor

452
00:14:55,341 --> 00:14:57,741
and commissioners. We would

453
00:15:02,382 --> 00:15:02,982
like play my presentation.

454
00:15:02,982 --> 00:15:03,917
>> Just slide your screen to

455
00:15:03,917 --> 00:15:06,917
the other side. There. We've

456
00:15:10,790 --> 00:15:14,390
got 2 screens. What I Slide it

457
00:15:24,704 --> 00:15:28,304
over. To wear. In time again,

458
00:15:38,252 --> 00:15:38,852
that's alright.

459
00:15:38,852 --> 00:15:39,853
>> So that ended budget at a

460
00:15:39,853 --> 00:15:42,253
glance. So we've already

461
00:15:42,855 --> 00:15:43,823
discussed and actually on

462
00:15:43,823 --> 00:15:45,823
adopted tentatively the

463
00:15:46,492 --> 00:15:48,892
rollback operating but mileage

464
00:15:49,930 --> 00:15:52,330
of 1.8, 8, 4, 8, That is a 0

465
00:15:53,834 --> 00:15:55,335
increase over roll back on the

466
00:15:55,335 --> 00:15:58,335
general fund had a total 2.1%

467
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:00,641
increase over fy. 26 the total

468
00:16:00,641 --> 00:16:04,241
budget all over all funds is

469
00:16:07,381 --> 00:16:09,820
331. 1 Million, 385,560

470
00:16:09,820 --> 00:16:11,520
dollars. And in this budget

471
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,452
are known new position,

472
00:16:14,589 --> 00:16:15,156
authorizations there is. It

473
00:16:15,156 --> 00:16:17,556
also takes into account 18

474
00:16:18,593 --> 00:16:20,593
vacant position. Eliminations.

475
00:16:23,798 --> 00:16:25,133
There is 35.4 million dollars

476
00:16:25,133 --> 00:16:26,467
grant funding programmed into

477
00:16:26,467 --> 00:16:27,100
this budget. And 89.4 million

478
00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:29,401
of capital equipment and

479
00:16:31,439 --> 00:16:32,574
infrastructure investments. In

480
00:16:32,574 --> 00:16:34,974
regards to property growth

481
00:16:36,511 --> 00:16:38,379
just wanted to kind of show a

482
00:16:38,379 --> 00:16:39,647
presentation of where we are

483
00:16:39,647 --> 00:16:41,182
currently and where we've end.

484
00:16:41,182 --> 00:16:41,749
So the assessed values of

485
00:16:41,749 --> 00:16:44,149
properties are now coming.

486
00:16:44,185 --> 00:16:45,987
They're kind of. I would say

487
00:16:45,987 --> 00:16:48,890
no flattening out. There was a

488
00:16:48,890 --> 00:16:50,191
lot of growth over the last

489
00:16:50,191 --> 00:16:52,928
couple years. That was higher

490
00:16:52,928 --> 00:16:53,695
than usual. So I just wanted

491
00:16:53,695 --> 00:16:54,596
to share this that we have all

492
00:16:54,596 --> 00:16:55,197
3.0, 3, 6%. Overall growth is

493
00:16:55,197 --> 00:16:58,467
a lot lower than we thought.

494
00:16:58,467 --> 00:16:59,000
And and the past couple of

495
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,936
years, I guess, you know,

496
00:17:00,936 --> 00:17:02,936
immediately following covid.

497
00:17:04,106 --> 00:17:08,306
However, it is. Going to be in

498
00:17:08,744 --> 00:17:11,144
general like flying increase

499
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,680
year over year is around

500
00:17:14,749 --> 00:17:16,510
404 Million. The 97% of that

501
00:17:16,510 --> 00:17:17,752
growth is attributable full to

502
00:17:17,752 --> 00:17:19,752
existing property appreciation

503
00:17:25,260 --> 00:17:25,860
11.8 construction. As we

504
00:17:25,860 --> 00:17:26,462
previously said, the millage

505
00:17:26,462 --> 00:17:29,462
rate is proposed at rollback.

506
00:17:29,832 --> 00:17:32,832
So it. The revenue collections

507
00:17:34,970 --> 00:17:36,806
will be. Very, very similar to

508
00:17:36,806 --> 00:17:38,107
what was collected in this

509
00:17:38,107 --> 00:17:39,175
current year. There is a small

510
00:17:39,175 --> 00:17:39,775
decrease and that's based on

511
00:17:39,775 --> 00:17:42,175
the new continue construction

512
00:17:45,881 --> 00:17:46,482
valuations. So I wanted just

513
00:17:46,482 --> 00:17:49,618
to show everyone the city of

514
00:17:49,618 --> 00:17:52,618
Key West. Currently is the

515
00:17:54,624 --> 00:17:55,924
only. I guess, municipality

516
00:17:55,924 --> 00:17:59,524
with in Monroe County that has

517
00:17:59,862 --> 00:18:01,431
a 0 has a rollback millage

518
00:18:01,431 --> 00:18:01,998
rate proposed so can rate of

519
00:18:01,998 --> 00:18:05,598
one a need for 8 where the

520
00:18:06,236 --> 00:18:08,236
only. Institution government

521
00:18:08,537 --> 00:18:11,537
rather that is under 2%. In

522
00:18:16,345 --> 00:18:18,214
Monroe County. This slide just

523
00:18:18,214 --> 00:18:20,215
shows the what the annual

524
00:18:20,215 --> 00:18:23,215
changes for each of the

525
00:18:23,353 --> 00:18:24,220
property value property types

526
00:18:24,220 --> 00:18:27,123
rather so homestead with an

527
00:18:27,123 --> 00:18:29,159
average taxable valuation of

528
00:18:29,159 --> 00:18:31,559
638,000 the annual payment is

529
00:18:31,728 --> 00:18:32,295
going to go down $12, an $0.08

530
00:18:32,295 --> 00:18:35,895
And this is, of course, the

531
00:18:36,233 --> 00:18:36,899
city portion only so. If the

532
00:18:36,899 --> 00:18:37,801
overall property tax goes up,

533
00:18:37,801 --> 00:18:42,100
it is not utter the normal to

534
00:18:42,500 --> 00:18:43,674
the city of Key West. And here

535
00:18:43,674 --> 00:18:45,943
are non homestead decrease of

536
00:18:45,943 --> 00:18:47,344
$7 and $0.14 and commercial

537
00:18:47,344 --> 00:18:49,344
properties, $10.99 And of

538
00:18:49,947 --> 00:18:51,848
course, this is based on the

539
00:18:51,848 --> 00:18:52,515
average. So there will be some

540
00:18:52,515 --> 00:18:53,500
that will be more less

541
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:55,500
depending their property

542
00:18:59,422 --> 00:19:00,591
valuation. Here's another

543
00:19:00,591 --> 00:19:02,426
representation of where your

544
00:19:02,426 --> 00:19:03,460
tax dollars are going. So

545
00:19:03,460 --> 00:19:05,563
based on every $100 to see if

546
00:19:05,563 --> 00:19:08,563
U.S. Is receiving $23 and

547
00:19:17,208 --> 00:19:17,842
$0.52 Proposed. Another is the

548
00:19:17,842 --> 00:19:18,375
South Florida Water Management

549
00:19:18,375 --> 00:19:20,775
District and the mosquito

550
00:19:25,182 --> 00:19:26,984
control. So I wanted to put

551
00:19:26,984 --> 00:19:30,584
the slide in here. These are

552
00:19:31,155 --> 00:19:32,590
the currently estimated debt

553
00:19:32,590 --> 00:19:33,157
service issuance since that

554
00:19:33,157 --> 00:19:33,958
have been authorized ready.

555
00:19:33,958 --> 00:19:36,958
And that's why 27 so that

556
00:19:38,329 --> 00:19:41,329
that's Jose Marti. And fire

557
00:19:41,833 --> 00:19:42,400
station 3. So the estimated

558
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,402
debt millage for year one,

559
00:19:44,402 --> 00:19:47,710
which will mean 28 based on

560
00:19:47,710 --> 00:19:49,471
the current taxable property

561
00:19:53,111 --> 00:19:54,412
valuations is 0.5 0, 5, 5, 3,

562
00:19:54,412 --> 00:19:56,314
So that the estimated payments

563
00:19:56,314 --> 00:19:59,314
for Homestead will be $35 and

564
00:20:02,287 --> 00:20:03,255
$0.33 here. For 15 over 15

565
00:20:03,255 --> 00:20:05,655
year period. Non homestead,

566
00:20:06,424 --> 00:20:08,424
$58 and $0.40 and commercial

567
00:20:08,893 --> 00:20:11,293
$90.13 for fire station 3. As

568
00:20:11,296 --> 00:20:12,364

debt. I mean, bond issuance

570
00:20:15,967 --> 00:20:18,704
will be 27 Million. That will

571
00:20:18,704 --> 00:20:19,137
be an estimated annual payment

572
00:20:19,137 --> 00:20:19,738
of 1.7 million. The

573
00:20:19,738 --> 00:20:22,138

613
00:21:46,293 --> 00:21:49,293
Yes, commissioner, to see you

614
00:21:50,163 --> 00:21:51,864
before we go any further, this

615
00:21:51,864 --> 00:21:52,465
cra manages position. Is this

616
00:21:52,465 --> 00:21:56,650
going to be replaced with the

00:21:57,370 --> 00:21:57,971
cra?

618
00:21:57,971 --> 00:22:00,173
>> what what we have budgeted

619
00:22:00,173 --> 00:22:01,842
right now to I guess offset

620
00:22:01,842 --> 00:22:02,442
that is there's a $20,000

621
00:22:02,442 --> 00:22:06,420
allocation in each one of the

622
00:22:06,513 --> 00:22:07,580
funds that. Putin professional

623
00:22:07,580 --> 00:22:08,449
services currently. So that

624
00:22:08,449 --> 00:22:10,450
could be a contract employee.

625
00:22:10,450 --> 00:22:14,500
It could write, you know, be

626
00:22:14,955 --> 00:22:15,989
and I additional to current

627
00:22:15,989 --> 00:22:17,858
employees. China's station, as

628
00:22:17,858 --> 00:22:21,458
I said before to staff and

629
00:22:21,595 --> 00:22:22,730
reference to this position.

630
00:22:22,730 --> 00:22:23,397
It's not a real full time

631
00:22:23,397 --> 00:22:26,500
position. It can be it can be

632
00:22:26,500 --> 00:22:28,500
done on

633
00:22:30,438 --> 00:22:31,272
>> consulting basis. So I just

634
00:22:31,272 --> 00:22:32,206
don't want the board think

635
00:22:32,206 --> 00:22:32,807
that we just do away with it

636
00:22:32,807 --> 00:22:35,207
without any direction. Thank

637
00:22:42,582 --> 00:22:44,982
you. Any other questions.

638
00:22:47,821 --> 00:22:50,221
>> yes, MISTER Here are 3, 335

639
00:22:51,793 --> 00:22:52,927
for 3, 3, 1 million dollars.

640
00:22:52,927 --> 00:22:56,527
How much is that? Is employees

641
00:22:59,330 --> 00:22:59,900
salaries for everyone? Similar

642
00:22:59,900 --> 00:23:03,500
time? You're likely so used to

643
00:23:03,571 --> 00:23:05,306
come much of of your total

644
00:23:05,306 --> 00:23:05,840
budget

645
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,810
>> it's in a later slide.

646
00:23:08,810 --> 00:23:11,790
Personal services is 70's.

647
00:23:11,790 --> 00:23:12,180
76 million out of 331. That

648
00:23:12,180 --> 00:23:15,180
includes police and Yes, good.

649
00:23:20,188 --> 00:23:21,389
Thank you. So what has changed

650
00:23:21,389 --> 00:23:24,389
after the JULY The proposed

651
00:23:26,628 --> 00:23:28,628
amounts. And actually

652
00:23:29,965 --> 00:23:31,465
increased to 2002.7 6%. Some

653
00:23:31,465 --> 00:23:33,202
of the larger changes in the

654
00:23:33,202 --> 00:23:34,690
general fund. We did a lot of

655
00:23:34,690 --> 00:23:36,690
adjustments. The insurance

656
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,720
costs went down. There was

657
00:23:41,900 --> 00:23:42,678
some revenue in like from the

658
00:23:42,678 --> 00:23:43,245
state generator revenues. They

659
00:23:43,245 --> 00:23:46,845
they came back a little bit

660
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,720
lower than we were estimating.

661
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,389
But overall, reduction of 1.0,

662
00:23:53,389 --> 00:23:55,389
4, 5%, in the infrastructure

663
00:23:56,158 --> 00:23:56,959
funds. A 3 million dollar

664
00:23:56,959 --> 00:23:58,194
change that was the original

665
00:23:58,194 --> 00:24:01,194
fire station. 3. We had a

666
00:24:02,300 --> 00:24:04,300
25 million dollar bond

667
00:24:04,133 --> 00:24:06,533
issuance was increased a

668
00:24:08,304 --> 00:24:11,304
27 million and also. That that

669
00:24:11,974 --> 00:24:12,975
is that is it for fund

670
00:24:12,975 --> 00:24:14,975
internal improvements. The

671
00:24:16,646 --> 00:24:18,114
5 million that came from,

672
00:24:18,114 --> 00:24:18,614
we're going increase the bond

673
00:24:18,614 --> 00:24:20,614
issuance requests from

674
00:24:21,150 --> 00:24:21,884
10 million to 15 Million. But

675
00:24:21,884 --> 00:24:25,484
we will talk about that a

676
00:24:26,622 --> 00:24:27,890
little bit more later in our.

677
00:24:27,890 --> 00:24:29,726
What else had large change

678
00:24:29,726 --> 00:24:30,727
under the storm. A utility

679
00:24:30,727 --> 00:24:33,727
fund that the 2 million dollar

680
00:24:34,564 --> 00:24:36,964
increases in The stewardship

681
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,569
funding. That was just receive

682
00:24:39,569 --> 00:24:40,437
not too long ago. That is

683
00:24:40,437 --> 00:24:41,700
planned there. That's

684
00:24:41,700 --> 00:24:43,173
2 million dollars going to the

685
00:24:43,173 --> 00:24:44,474
Harris and 10th project.

686
00:24:44,474 --> 00:24:45,508
There's another million

687
00:24:45,508 --> 00:24:46,420
dollars that we still have not

688
00:24:46,420 --> 00:24:48,178
had a to this budget that

689
00:24:48,178 --> 00:24:51,178
we're down to figure which

690
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,840
projects identify So Al funds

691
00:24:58,755 --> 00:25:01,910
budget is, as I said before,

692
00:25:01,910 --> 00:25:03,910
331 million, $385,560. Overall

693
00:25:04,661 --> 00:25:06,597
increases 15.6% over Fy. 26

694
00:25:06,597 --> 00:25:09,597
current year. It is primarily

695
00:25:09,699 --> 00:25:10,501
driven by Capital Investments,

696
00:25:10,501 --> 00:25:11,235
Grant funded projects and

697
00:25:11,235 --> 00:25:14,235
planned bond issuances not and

698
00:25:18,842 --> 00:25:21,242
recurring operations. For the

699
00:25:22,579 --> 00:25:24,979
General fund it. Tentative

700
00:25:25,583 --> 00:25:26,783
budget proposed 703 million,

701
00:25:26,783 --> 00:25:29,183
555,905 dollars, which is a

702
00:25:31,989 --> 00:25:33,791
2.1% increase over 2026. And I

703
00:25:33,791 --> 00:25:34,959
just wanted to mention that

704
00:25:34,959 --> 00:25:36,928
even though total citywide

705
00:25:36,928 --> 00:25:37,561
budget increased by 15.6%,

706
00:25:37,561 --> 00:25:40,561
general fund only increased by

707
00:25:41,232 --> 00:25:41,799
2%, which because operational

708
00:25:41,799 --> 00:25:44,799
savings that we we've been

709
00:25:49,540 --> 00:25:50,541
able to find. So this slide is

710
00:25:50,541 --> 00:25:51,508
kind we're going to have at

711
00:25:51,508 --> 00:25:55,108
the end estimated at the end

712
00:25:55,613 --> 00:25:56,714
Fy 27 to have 90 days and fund

713
00:25:56,714 --> 00:25:59,714
balance reserve. Each day is

714
00:25:59,851 --> 00:26:01,851
the equivalent 225 $1000. So

715
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,720
that's a total of 20 0.6

716
00:26:07,292 --> 00:26:09,160
million dollars so the policy

717
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,362
is between 72 and tiny.

718
00:26:10,362 --> 00:26:12,397
Today's we're trying to

719
00:26:12,397 --> 00:26:14,797
maintain 90 today reserves to

720
00:26:16,368 --> 00:26:17,302
provide financial resiliency,

721
00:26:17,302 --> 00:26:17,903
cash flow you know, hurricane

722
00:26:17,903 --> 00:26:20,903
or some other sort of

723
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,400
disaster. Possible real

724
00:26:24,176 --> 00:26:24,809
revenue volatility, that MAY

725
00:26:24,809 --> 00:26:27,945
MAY or MAY not happen based on

726
00:26:27,945 --> 00:26:28,547
things going on in community.

727
00:26:28,547 --> 00:26:29,247
Fema reimbursement timing,

728
00:26:29,247 --> 00:26:30,348
future property tax

729
00:26:30,348 --> 00:26:32,348
uncertainty and maintaining

730
00:26:35,287 --> 00:26:36,587
our strong financial position.

731
00:26:36,587 --> 00:26:38,524
Some of the major highlights

732
00:26:38,524 --> 00:26:39,925
are, as I said earlier, the

733
00:26:39,925 --> 00:26:40,726
grant funding allocations

734
00:26:40,726 --> 00:26:43,726
across across all funds from

735
00:26:45,697 --> 00:26:46,865
35 million dollars. The bond

736
00:26:46,865 --> 00:26:47,932
issuances. So we do have 2

737
00:26:47,932 --> 00:26:48,934
that have been authorized by

738
00:26:48,934 --> 00:26:51,934
the commissioner which are for

739
00:26:52,571 --> 00:26:53,710
Jose Martinez, Fire Station 3,

740
00:26:53,710 --> 00:26:54,473
the streets and roadway

741
00:26:54,473 --> 00:26:55,106
improvements we will be

742
00:26:55,106 --> 00:26:56,508
presenting to you probably and

743
00:26:56,508 --> 00:26:59,508
most likely NOVEMBER in order

744
00:27:01,313 --> 00:27:01,914
to forward not. And of course,

745
00:27:01,914 --> 00:27:02,915
whatever that issue and says

746
00:27:02,915 --> 00:27:06,515
it will be authorized by you.

747
00:27:08,654 --> 00:27:11,654
Time. User fee increases. We

748
00:27:12,625 --> 00:27:13,693
we increase a lot of fees in

749
00:27:13,693 --> 00:27:14,626
order generate enough revenue

750
00:27:14,626 --> 00:27:17,263
to actually pay for the

751
00:27:17,263 --> 00:27:17,830
services that we're providing

752
00:27:17,830 --> 00:27:21,430
would just with time. A lot

753
00:27:23,436 --> 00:27:25,538
assessments of the year.

754
00:27:25,538 --> 00:27:27,606
Investments in technology, the

755
00:27:27,606 --> 00:27:29,606
workday, implementation, there

756
00:27:30,409 --> 00:27:31,644
various data center equipment

757
00:27:31,644 --> 00:27:32,110
upgrades investments in public

758
00:27:32,110 --> 00:27:32,679
safety. We have fire

759
00:27:32,679 --> 00:27:34,679
department sport vehicles.

760
00:27:34,881 --> 00:27:35,448
Police department pursuit

761
00:27:35,448 --> 00:27:36,490
vehicles. There is a quick

762
00:27:36,490 --> 00:27:38,490
minute facility improvements

763
00:27:42,550 --> 00:27:42,956
for them. That's mayor.

764
00:27:42,956 --> 00:27:45,356
Generosity because Sorry, I'm

765
00:27:48,161 --> 00:27:48,962
dis. Looking at just 20.

766
00:27:48,962 --> 00:27:50,597
7 million dollars for Fy

767
00:27:50,597 --> 00:27:53,597
station. Great is that the

768
00:27:56,303 --> 00:27:59,903
Besse? Price? We are to made

769
00:28:01,975 --> 00:28:02,876
in that. Oh, no. If you MAY

770
00:28:02,876 --> 00:28:05,912
recall, we did authorize up to

771
00:28:05,912 --> 00:28:06,513
32 Million. So we are.

772
00:28:06,513 --> 00:28:09,513
Currently trying to get that

773
00:28:11,510 --> 00:28:13,530
costs. Nailed it nailed and

774
00:28:13,530 --> 00:28:15,656
getting it as low as possible

775
00:28:15,656 --> 00:28:16,323
to, you know, help the

776
00:28:16,323 --> 00:28:16,924
taxpayers also, which I

777
00:28:16,924 --> 00:28:18,991
haven't mentioned yet. But we

778
00:28:18,991 --> 00:28:21,227
are we have applied for a

779
00:28:21,227 --> 00:28:23,627
grant for fire station 3,

780
00:28:23,864 --> 00:28:25,199
which would if awarded, we

781
00:28:25,199 --> 00:28:28,235
would know MARCH of and it's

782
00:28:28,235 --> 00:28:29,303
for like 12, 12 and a half

783
00:28:29,303 --> 00:28:31,303
million dollars mornings

784
00:28:31,605 --> 00:28:32,840
saying that in reference to I

785
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:33,440
on on the county's be have

786
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,277
bill in the new fire station

787
00:28:36,277 --> 00:28:39,277
up that those sugar lows.

788
00:28:44,285 --> 00:28:45,253
>> And in at the same time I

789
00:28:45,253 --> 00:28:46,530
see they make these concrete

790
00:28:46,530 --> 00:28:46,554
walls and bring them down here

791
00:28:46,554 --> 00:28:48,388
on trucks. And I'm I'm

792
00:28:48,388 --> 00:28:49,990
wondering. You know what

793
00:28:49,990 --> 00:28:52,990
category that that that's a

794
00:28:54,828 --> 00:28:55,396
then. And now. And all city

795
00:28:55,396 --> 00:28:56,764
here. I mean, they built a

796
00:28:56,764 --> 00:29:00,268
whole city hall and Gordon in

797
00:29:00,268 --> 00:29:01,903
Marathon. And, you know, we're

798
00:29:01,903 --> 00:29:04,138
trying to save dollars. You

799
00:29:04,138 --> 00:29:07,738
know, I mean, we the colder

800
00:29:07,942 --> 00:29:09,978
the clock be full can get a

801
00:29:09,978 --> 00:29:10,611
little I you know,

802
00:29:10,611 --> 00:29:13,611
commissioner can still I think

803
00:29:13,948 --> 00:29:15,783
these great questions.

804
00:29:15,783 --> 00:29:16,750
Probably a good subject for a

805
00:29:16,750 --> 00:29:17,285
presentation from staff at a

806
00:29:17,285 --> 00:29:19,285
upcoming city commission

807
00:29:19,754 --> 00:29:23,354
meeting. So we can see what

808
00:29:24,726 --> 00:29:25,760
the most up to date. Ideas are

809
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,863
for what it would look like.

810
00:29:27,863 --> 00:29:28,997
The drawings conceptual

811
00:29:28,997 --> 00:29:30,997
designs cost.

812
00:29:31,967 --> 00:29:32,400
>> What the status of grant so

813
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:33,100
good. We can have a

814
00:29:33,100 --> 00:29:34,202
presentation and don't get me

815
00:29:34,202 --> 00:29:37,171
I want the very best, but I

816
00:29:37,171 --> 00:29:38,306
want to get every dollar that

817
00:29:38,306 --> 00:29:41,109
we spend. We've got a

818
00:29:41,109 --> 00:29:41,677
community center down in the

819
00:29:41,677 --> 00:29:43,145
full report and not even 3

820
00:29:43,145 --> 00:29:45,447
years old. So I'm trying And

821
00:29:45,447 --> 00:29:46,140
we had MISTER Malone tell us

822
00:29:46,140 --> 00:29:46,582
about City Hall, which, you

823
00:29:46,582 --> 00:29:48,917
know, we know. So yeah, for

824
00:29:48,917 --> 00:29:49,618
sure. We need to pay attention

825
00:29:49,618 --> 00:29:51,887
to this. Thank you. You're

826
00:29:51,887 --> 00:29:53,588
absolutely right, MR. Mayor.

827
00:29:53,588 --> 00:29:55,858
Because you're going yes, I

828
00:29:55,858 --> 00:29:58,600
and could that I'm going to

829
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,600
love.

830
00:30:02,430 --> 00:30:05,233
>> Citizen input on this. This

831
00:30:05,233 --> 00:30:06,402
far station that 25 27 million

832
00:30:06,402 --> 00:30:09,237
dollars. Too, would like to

833
00:30:09,237 --> 00:30:12,237
seriously sit down. You go

834
00:30:12,975 --> 00:30:14,744
over this piece by piece. So

835
00:30:14,744 --> 00:30:17,479
we know exactly what's going

836
00:30:17,479 --> 00:30:18,470
on. We know that we need to

837
00:30:18,470 --> 00:30:19,480
fire station. Discuss that.

838
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,250
Have everything the best of

839
00:30:21,250 --> 00:30:24,250
everything. But the cost seems

840
00:30:25,555 --> 00:30:27,523
very, very high. For for far,

841
00:30:27,523 --> 00:30:29,926
you know, for a concrete block

842
00:30:29,926 --> 00:30:30,660
building how many you know,

843
00:30:30,660 --> 00:30:34,860
I'd like to be brought up to

844
00:30:36,990 --> 00:30:36,732
speed on New, yeah, 6 very

845
00:30:36,732 --> 00:30:39,680
expensive. A lot of the public

846
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:39,269
are asked the question so

847
00:30:39,269 --> 00:30:40,236
many.

848
00:30:40,236 --> 00:30:43,600
>> So see your once again

849
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,342
right on target but but for

850
00:30:46,342 --> 00:30:48,311
commercial grade fire station,

851
00:30:48,311 --> 00:30:49,979
it's it's higher per square

852
00:30:49,979 --> 00:30:50,613
foot price to be expected.

853
00:30:50,613 --> 00:30:53,130
We're looking at probably 1200

854
00:30:53,416 --> 00:30:54,550
per square foot. I think I

855
00:30:54,550 --> 00:30:55,284
think a one time it was

856
00:30:55,284 --> 00:30:57,120
proposed to be 1800 per square

857
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,157
foot which did seem high. But,

858
00:31:00,157 --> 00:31:00,724
you know, what? They have 3

859
00:31:00,724 --> 00:31:03,724
days now. They really need

860
00:31:04,261 --> 00:31:06,630
for. You know, the square

861
00:31:06,630 --> 00:31:06,863
footage, I think seems right.

862
00:31:06,863 --> 00:31:09,766
I mean, to determine 19, we

863
00:31:09,766 --> 00:31:10,867
have fire fire here if they

864
00:31:10,867 --> 00:31:12,969
want to speak to this. But I

865
00:31:12,969 --> 00:31:15,710
think we do. I think the best

866
00:31:15,710 --> 00:31:15,839
if we had just a dedicated

867
00:31:15,839 --> 00:31:17,841
discussion item on we're we

868
00:31:17,841 --> 00:31:19,509
could have presentation from

869
00:31:19,509 --> 00:31:20,410
staff to go over where we are

870
00:31:20,410 --> 00:31:23,513
in the grants where we are in

871
00:31:23,513 --> 00:31:25,983
the square footage, the number

872
00:31:25,983 --> 00:31:27,517
of days. But, you know, we

873
00:31:27,517 --> 00:31:30,200
need to replace fire station

874
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:30,753
3. I mean, it's it's been

875
00:31:30,753 --> 00:31:31,354
degree, you know, we We all

876
00:31:31,354 --> 00:31:34,925
agree to that and it needs to

877
00:31:34,925 --> 00:31:35,793
happen sooner than later. So

878
00:31:35,793 --> 00:31:37,294
that's something we could do.

879
00:31:37,294 --> 00:31:38,194
And Isaac Tobar, realistic or

880
00:31:38,194 --> 00:31:38,762
should we wait till NOVEMBER?

881
00:31:38,762 --> 00:31:41,762
What his staff think about

882
00:31:44,335 --> 00:31:46,735
presentation. Vice Mayor Lee.

883
00:31:47,938 --> 00:31:48,539
Few things about fire station.

884
00:31:48,539 --> 00:31:49,720
>> Number one, if we're going

885
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,720
to have a presentation, I

886
00:31:54,579 --> 00:31:55,179
would I would. Suggest that we

887
00:31:55,179 --> 00:31:58,549
do it, it sooner rather than

888
00:31:58,549 --> 00:32:01,285
later because day that we

889
00:32:01,285 --> 00:32:02,152
wait, more expensive. So I

890
00:32:02,152 --> 00:32:04,522
would like to see if we're

891
00:32:04,522 --> 00:32:05,155
going to have a presentation.

892
00:32:05,155 --> 00:32:08,559
Alright, I would like to do it

893
00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:09,794
the next. To me. The next

894
00:32:09,794 --> 00:32:10,795
meeting you possible? Because

895
00:32:10,795 --> 00:32:12,830
I like to do it because every

896
00:32:12,830 --> 00:32:13,430
day we wait and every day this

897
00:32:13,430 --> 00:32:15,500
gets bogged down, it's going

898
00:32:15,500 --> 00:32:16,100
to cost us more. Number one.

899
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:19,100
>> Are are you suggesting the

900
00:32:19,637 --> 00:32:20,238
22nd the next budget meeting

901
00:32:20,238 --> 00:32:20,972
is that might be too soon for

902
00:32:20,972 --> 00:32:21,539
staff is that's what I do. You

903
00:32:21,539 --> 00:32:22,107
know, I think they could do

904
00:32:22,107 --> 00:32:25,107
it. Have confidence in him

905
00:32:29,313 --> 00:32:30,148
that good. You know about I

906
00:32:30,148 --> 00:32:30,849
don't want to that vice Mayor,

907
00:32:30,849 --> 00:32:33,849
Leslie, let the vice mayor

908
00:32:35,887 --> 00:32:36,454
finished, you know? Hopefully

909
00:32:36,454 --> 00:32:38,854
with the presentation will

910
00:32:40,725 --> 00:32:41,493
see. Why the cost is what it

911
00:32:41,493 --> 00:32:44,493
is when the presentation comes

912
00:32:47,466 --> 00:32:48,660
to us but we spoke. We were

913
00:32:48,660 --> 00:32:51,660
looking at the debt service

914
00:32:51,603 --> 00:32:52,436
there in regards to to fire

915
00:32:52,436 --> 00:32:55,436
station. And I don't think

916
00:32:56,875 --> 00:32:57,876
anyone here is comfortable

917
00:32:57,876 --> 00:33:00,876
with that level of debt

918
00:33:03,282 --> 00:33:05,451
service there's a grant that I

919
00:33:05,451 --> 00:33:06,510
think about. I think there are

920
00:33:06,510 --> 00:33:07,853
going to be opportunities.

921
00:33:07,853 --> 00:33:09,121
It's going to reduce that debt

922
00:33:09,121 --> 00:33:10,456
service. And I spoke to

923
00:33:10,456 --> 00:33:13,456
Cristina spoke to the manager

924
00:33:15,270 --> 00:33:15,994
about it. Before we pass on. I

925
00:33:15,994 --> 00:33:16,594
don't think it's going to be I

926
00:33:16,594 --> 00:33:19,650
don't think the debt service

927
00:33:19,650 --> 00:33:19,665
will end up being what we see

928
00:33:19,665 --> 00:33:21,267
there at 1.7 million dollars.

929
00:33:21,267 --> 00:33:22,368
I think it will be

930
00:33:22,368 --> 00:33:24,768
significantly reducing if it's

931
00:33:24,870 --> 00:33:26,839
not, I would. I'm gonna do

932
00:33:26,839 --> 00:33:29,575
everything I can to reduce

933
00:33:29,575 --> 00:33:31,410
that burden to the taxpayers.

934
00:33:31,410 --> 00:33:35,100
Even it I would propose using

935
00:33:35,414 --> 00:33:36,682
reserve days to reduce that.

936
00:33:36,682 --> 00:33:38,517
That debt service if necessary

937
00:33:38,517 --> 00:33:39,520
before we end up passing 1.7

938
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,520
million dollars on to the

939
00:33:42,822 --> 00:33:45,222
taxpayer. Taxpayers. But I

940
00:33:46,590 --> 00:33:47,727
don't think that that. That

941
00:33:47,727 --> 00:33:48,294
service is going to be 1.7

942
00:33:48,294 --> 00:33:51,294
million dollars. The end of

943
00:33:52,365 --> 00:33:53,320
the day. I I think we all

944
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,320
would probably agree with you,

945
00:33:56,470 --> 00:33:58,470
merely but member.

946
00:33:59,506 --> 00:34:00,106
>> It's a recurring debt just

947
00:34:00,106 --> 00:34:00,640
one year of using reserve is

948
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:01,207
is not going to solve the

949
00:34:01,207 --> 00:34:03,676
problem a long term so that

950
00:34:03,676 --> 00:34:06,676
the yeah, I'm the manager

951
00:34:07,948 --> 00:34:08,615
wanted to something. So

952
00:34:08,615 --> 00:34:11,170
there's a lot going on there.

953
00:34:11,170 --> 00:34:13,186
So let me do a few things for

954
00:34:13,186 --> 00:34:14,921
contextualize station. First

955
00:34:14,921 --> 00:34:15,889
and foremost, the $27, the

956
00:34:15,889 --> 00:34:17,757
77 million figure you're

957
00:34:17,757 --> 00:34:19,659
looking at is not for the fire

958
00:34:19,659 --> 00:34:20,794
station alone. So please

959
00:34:20,794 --> 00:34:22,528
delineate that 2 million of it

960
00:34:22,528 --> 00:34:24,331
is for the temporary fire

961
00:34:24,331 --> 00:34:24,932
station, which we do not

962
00:34:24,932 --> 00:34:27,233
believe it's going to require

963
00:34:27,233 --> 00:34:27,901
that dollar amount. But that's

964
00:34:27,901 --> 00:34:30,901
what's budget. So please use

965
00:34:31,939 --> 00:34:34,775
don't use 27. Okay. We we were

966
00:34:34,775 --> 00:34:35,342
very clear on the direction

967
00:34:35,342 --> 00:34:35,976
that receive regarding our

968
00:34:35,976 --> 00:34:38,745
ability to reduce the costs of

969
00:34:38,745 --> 00:34:40,447
the fire station. Right now,

970
00:34:40,447 --> 00:34:41,150
we establish 25 million as the

971
00:34:41,150 --> 00:34:42,316
threshold. We are actively

972
00:34:42,316 --> 00:34:44,885
working with k 2 m to reduce

973
00:34:44,885 --> 00:34:47,120
that. It is really designed on

974
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:48,880
square footage. So you alluded

975
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:49,756
to dollar per square foot.

976
00:34:49,756 --> 00:34:50,257
Please give us an opportunity

977
00:34:50,257 --> 00:34:51,291
to work with k 2 him to

978
00:34:51,291 --> 00:34:53,691
continue to sharpen the

979
00:34:55,262 --> 00:34:55,863
pencil. To ask us to bring you

980
00:34:55,863 --> 00:34:56,564
something in the next few

981
00:34:56,564 --> 00:34:57,397
weeks is not realistic. We're

982
00:34:57,397 --> 00:34:59,800
not close to have any

983
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:00,401
presentation ready, candidly,

984
00:35:00,401 --> 00:35:03,203
we've got we have a standing

985
00:35:03,203 --> 00:35:03,804
meeting with k 2 m when we

986
00:35:03,804 --> 00:35:04,304
have a conceptual drawing in

987
00:35:04,304 --> 00:35:06,704
our ability to present

988
00:35:06,774 --> 00:35:09,774
something we will but just

989
00:35:10,770 --> 00:35:10,611
know that we share leadership,

990
00:35:10,611 --> 00:35:13,110
an opinion about reducing

991
00:35:13,247 --> 00:35:14,114
everywhere we can. But we are

992
00:35:14,114 --> 00:35:16,500
also working closely with our

993
00:35:16,500 --> 00:35:18,152
with our team at the fire

994
00:35:18,152 --> 00:35:20,188
station to determine what is

995
00:35:20,188 --> 00:35:20,755
necessary there. So we believe

996
00:35:20,755 --> 00:35:21,355
that the final product that

997
00:35:21,355 --> 00:35:21,856
we're going to be able to put

998
00:35:21,856 --> 00:35:23,725
in front of you will be

999
00:35:23,725 --> 00:35:25,226
representative of everything

1000
00:35:25,226 --> 00:35:25,860
that we just discussed today.

1001
00:35:25,860 --> 00:35:26,661
But please understand that

1002
00:35:26,661 --> 00:35:28,897
we're not building the fire

1003
00:35:28,897 --> 00:35:31,297
station for 27 Million. That's

1004
00:35:32,330 --> 00:35:32,600
not an accurate statement, ok?

1005
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,203
Okay. So we all agree will

1006
00:35:35,203 --> 00:35:35,770
have a presentation as soon as

1007
00:35:35,770 --> 00:35:36,371
possible. That's what we're

1008
00:35:36,371 --> 00:35:37,505
here. Okay. War and pushed

1009
00:35:37,505 --> 00:35:39,505
Commissioner Rossi, great.

1010
00:35:42,677 --> 00:35:43,711
>> The grant. We're working on

1011
00:35:43,711 --> 00:35:45,647
that a time limit on that as

1012
00:35:45,647 --> 00:35:47,782
time of sweet idea, applied

1013
00:35:47,782 --> 00:35:48,750
for the grant will no went

1014
00:35:48,750 --> 00:35:50,752
whether or not we've been

1015
00:35:50,752 --> 00:35:53,752
awarded in MARCH of 27 and

1016
00:35:54,389 --> 00:35:57,989
more Sun. We have well. Ok,

1017
00:36:00,629 --> 00:36:01,290
the says who a few things. 2

1018
00:36:01,290 --> 00:36:01,996
separate grants.

1019
00:36:01,996 --> 00:36:02,931
>> We believe candidly that

1020
00:36:02,931 --> 00:36:03,899
we're going to have a line of

1021
00:36:03,899 --> 00:36:06,769
sight on the grant for Jose

1022
00:36:06,769 --> 00:36:09,505
more teen NOVEMBER Ish. It is

1023
00:36:09,505 --> 00:36:10,939
earmarked both our air market.

1024
00:36:10,939 --> 00:36:11,640
It's the weather that budget

1025
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:12,875
is approved. So we feel like

1026
00:36:12,875 --> 00:36:14,543
we'll have clarity on the Jose

1027
00:36:14,543 --> 00:36:16,645
grant latter part of this

1028
00:36:16,645 --> 00:36:17,246
year. More clarity on the fire

1029
00:36:17,246 --> 00:36:20,246
station grant the 1st quarter

1030
00:36:20,549 --> 00:36:22,549
of next year.

1031
00:36:25,154 --> 00:36:28,154
>> Good. Thank MR. Voting Yes

1032
00:36:28,891 --> 00:36:30,891
continue presentation. Okay.

1033
00:36:31,860 --> 00:36:32,395
Major grant funded projects

1034
00:36:32,395 --> 00:36:33,162
and that in this budget.

1035
00:36:33,162 --> 00:36:35,562
Mallory Square were pair

1036
00:36:37,233 --> 00:36:40,233

1037
00:36:40,469 --> 00:36:41,360
secure a 5.2 million from

1038
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,360
stead. We meaning Steve. So

1039
00:36:44,607 --> 00:36:47,443
great job. And so that's going

1040
00:36:47,443 --> 00:36:48,578
to help great me for that

1041
00:36:48,578 --> 00:36:50,446
project. Now grand prix

1042
00:36:50,446 --> 00:36:51,580
months. We have rest,

1043
00:36:51,580 --> 00:36:53,580

1044
00:36:53,683 --> 00:36:55,618

shelters, safe streets for all

1050
00:37:04,660 --> 00:37:07,600
on this attempt. Technology

1051
00:37:07,864 --> 00:37:08,732
demonstration project. We have

1052
00:37:08,732 --> 00:37:09,699
Harris, intense storm, water

1053
00:37:09,699 --> 00:37:10,166
improvements. College runoff

1054
00:37:10,166 --> 00:37:11,968

1055
00:37:11,968 --> 00:37:12,569
revitalization, seawall

1056
00:37:12,569 --> 00:37:15,569
improvements and the park and

1057
00:37:27,484 --> 00:37:29,484
ride facility improvements.

1058
00:37:30,387 --> 00:37:33,189
Sorry. Our transit system. We

1059
00:37:33,189 --> 00:37:35,192
do have the island hopper out

1060
00:37:35,192 --> 00:37:36,590
proposal is including here at

1061
00:37:36,590 --> 00:37:38,459
a 45 minute frequency. It's

1062
00:37:39,663 --> 00:37:40,731
going to move clockwise and

1063
00:37:40,731 --> 00:37:41,397
counterclockwise. It will

1064
00:37:41,397 --> 00:37:41,998
service stock Allen and U.S.

1065
00:37:41,998 --> 00:37:44,668
One 3rd street and hurricane

1066
00:37:44,668 --> 00:37:45,769
hole. The route will begin at

1067
00:37:45,769 --> 00:37:48,769
06:00am in the last fall.

1068
00:37:49,873 --> 00:37:50,640
We'll be around 08:00pm so

1069
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,576
that is different than what we

1070
00:37:52,576 --> 00:37:55,576
have presented in JULY. So

1071
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,315
that is improved as well. We

1072
00:37:58,315 --> 00:37:59,483
do have investments in water

1073
00:37:59,483 --> 00:38:02,386
quality in here to include

1074
00:38:02,386 --> 00:38:03,120
water, quality testing and

1075
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:03,954
marinas stormwater outfalls

1076
00:38:03,954 --> 00:38:04,521
and the inundation

1077
00:38:04,521 --> 00:38:06,521
infiltration improvements,

1078
00:38:07,357 --> 00:38:08,526
which will also help the storm

1079
00:38:08,526 --> 00:38:10,926
water items and then

1080
00:38:11,996 --> 00:38:12,963
continuation stantec contract.

1081
00:38:12,963 --> 00:38:15,363
There is 250,000 in Fy 27

1082
00:38:16,834 --> 00:38:19,834
budget. For water quality, not

1083
00:38:22,407 --> 00:38:22,974
including the first 3 items.

1084
00:38:22,974 --> 00:38:24,342
Investments in housing. We

1085
00:38:24,342 --> 00:38:26,544
will have the housing needs

1086
00:38:26,544 --> 00:38:29,413
assessment going on. We have

1087
00:38:29,413 --> 00:38:30,148
some funding identified for

1088
00:38:30,148 --> 00:38:30,782
correct leveraging and we do

1089
00:38:30,782 --> 00:38:33,182
have allocation for homebuyers

1090
00:38:36,487 --> 00:38:38,887
assistance. So our five-year

1091
00:38:39,240 --> 00:38:39,457
capital improvement program

1092
00:38:39,457 --> 00:38:41,457
currently is around

1093
00:38:41,993 --> 00:38:44,950
181 million dollars. So we

1094
00:38:44,950 --> 00:38:44,696
have a lot of capital

1095
00:38:44,696 --> 00:38:47,650
investment in year one. A lot

1096
00:38:47,650 --> 00:38:48,330
of that is grant funded so

1097
00:38:48,330 --> 00:38:49,968
that we're looking to make a

1098
00:38:49,968 --> 00:38:52,968
lot of improvements over the

1099
00:38:57,209 --> 00:39:00,809
next couple of years. So with

1100
00:39:01,313 --> 00:39:02,948
that, we do have an allocation

1101
00:39:02,948 --> 00:39:03,548
or requests for youth league

1102
00:39:03,548 --> 00:39:06,548
funding to be increased. The

1103
00:39:06,952 --> 00:39:07,753
amount of $45,000. It's not

1104
00:39:07,753 --> 00:39:08,220
currently reflected in this

1105
00:39:08,220 --> 00:39:10,220
budget. However, it's

1106
00:39:10,721 --> 00:39:12,858
something we could add really

1107
00:39:12,858 --> 00:39:14,626
the only option we have at

1108
00:39:14,626 --> 00:39:15,694
this point. I mean, not the

1109
00:39:15,694 --> 00:39:17,762
only option, but the most

1110
00:39:17,762 --> 00:39:18,730
feasible one would be to use

1111
00:39:18,730 --> 00:39:19,131
some of our reserves funding

1112
00:39:19,131 --> 00:39:21,131
because we've cut

1113
00:39:21,934 --> 00:39:23,401
operationally pretty much. As

1114
00:39:23,401 --> 00:39:26,872
much as we can in the general

1115
00:39:26,872 --> 00:39:27,473
fund unless we had, you know,

1116
00:39:27,473 --> 00:39:30,473
other direction that that you

1117
00:39:35,815 --> 00:39:36,415
can come up $45,000 would be

1118
00:39:36,415 --> 00:39:39,415
just to clarify what like 20%

1119
00:39:40,190 --> 00:39:40,586
of day.

1120
00:39:40,586 --> 00:39:42,986
>> Yeah. Looking like that.

1121
00:39:44,890 --> 00:39:46,240
It's a really small, very

1122
00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:47,590
corrected trust. One days,

1123
00:39:47,590 --> 00:39:48,600
224,000 sounds very reasonable

1124
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:49,996
to me in a sense of really

1125
00:39:49,996 --> 00:39:50,630
good message to the community

1126
00:39:50,630 --> 00:39:51,197
and support the kids and youth

1127
00:39:51,197 --> 00:39:54,197
funding. So I would support

1128
00:39:57,570 --> 00:39:58,137
it. Are we ready for questions

1129
00:39:58,137 --> 00:40:01,137
and comments? Is that could

1130
00:40:02,742 --> 00:40:03,476
just a matter? What we really?

1131
00:40:03,476 --> 00:40:04,110
>> Your statement is very

1132
00:40:04,110 --> 00:40:06,510
accurate. So this particular

1133
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,417
item, it doesn't seem to.

1134
00:40:10,417 --> 00:40:11,217
Impact the reserve days. Much

1135
00:40:11,217 --> 00:40:14,421
what we would like to just

1136
00:40:14,421 --> 00:40:16,323
articulate today is we truly

1137
00:40:16,323 --> 00:40:18,458
feel we've cut everywhere that

1138
00:40:18,458 --> 00:40:20,259
we can. It's indicative of the

1139
00:40:20,259 --> 00:40:20,894
budget that were put in front

1140
00:40:20,894 --> 00:40:22,796
of you. So if we have requests

1141
00:40:22,796 --> 00:40:23,529
from the commission that are

1142
00:40:23,529 --> 00:40:26,466
approved, that ask us to add

1143
00:40:26,466 --> 00:40:27,667
to this budget in any way. We

1144
00:40:27,667 --> 00:40:28,335
either need very clear

1145
00:40:28,335 --> 00:40:31,238
indication of where do you

1146
00:40:31,238 --> 00:40:32,405
want us to take that from? But

1147
00:40:32,405 --> 00:40:33,500
right now our answer is going

1148
00:40:33,500 --> 00:40:34,975
to be it's going to come from

1149
00:40:34,975 --> 00:40:37,975
reserve case. So just please

1150
00:40:38,679 --> 00:40:40,747
keep that in mind as you. Have

1151
00:40:40,747 --> 00:40:41,782
a passion point and say, look,

1152
00:40:41,782 --> 00:40:42,749
we need to do this either.

1153
00:40:42,749 --> 00:40:43,617
It's going to come from some

1154
00:40:43,617 --> 00:40:44,218
other location, which you'll

1155
00:40:44,218 --> 00:40:46,753
say, ok, we'll eliminate this

1156
00:40:46,753 --> 00:40:47,321
from either a capital plan or

1157
00:40:47,321 --> 00:40:50,321
a 5 year strategic plan or

1158
00:40:50,557 --> 00:40:51,291
what have you. But right now

1159
00:40:51,291 --> 00:40:52,920
the answer our team will

1160
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:53,760
provide you would be okay. We

1161
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:54,328
will do that. We would add it

1162
00:40:54,328 --> 00:40:57,798
back in, but it's going to

1163
00:40:57,798 --> 00:40:58,899
come from a survey. Fair

1164
00:40:58,899 --> 00:41:01,299
enough. And understood, Vaulti

1165
00:41:02,303 --> 00:41:02,970
you complete your.

1166
00:41:02,970 --> 00:41:05,970
>> was gonna say are there

1167
00:41:06,207 --> 00:41:07,475
other additional changes

1168
00:41:07,475 --> 00:41:08,750
requested because really end

1169
00:41:08,750 --> 00:41:11,675
and I just where we're going

1170
00:41:11,846 --> 00:41:14,681
next. So so let me bring it

1171
00:41:14,681 --> 00:41:16,751
back to the commission.

1172
00:41:16,751 --> 00:41:17,318
Commissioner Castillo, MR. I

1173
00:41:17,318 --> 00:41:19,718
want to congratulate staff

1174
00:41:20,540 --> 00:41:22,423
again on job. Well done this

1175
00:41:22,423 --> 00:41:25,423
probably the best budget I've

1176
00:41:26,461 --> 00:41:26,995
seen since becoming the

1177
00:41:26,995 --> 00:41:28,995
commissioner. It matches

1178
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:31,132
everything to the penny.

1179
00:41:31,132 --> 00:41:34,702
Finance and staff of will job

1180
00:41:34,702 --> 00:41:36,271
well done. Thank you. Thank

1181
00:41:36,271 --> 00:41:36,805
you, commissioner, to see

1182
00:41:36,805 --> 00:41:38,805
anyone else. Commissioner

1183
00:41:40,341 --> 00:41:42,777
Carey. Thank you, MR. Mayor,

1184
00:41:42,777 --> 00:41:43,712
just a couple quick questions.

1185
00:41:43,712 --> 00:41:47,912
First, I want to know, I think

1186
00:41:49,830 --> 00:41:50,752
its slide 5. It shows a

1187
00:41:50,752 --> 00:41:51,386
comparison between the city

1188
00:41:51,386 --> 00:41:53,786
and the other municipalities

1189
00:41:54,155 --> 00:41:55,891
or government agencies.

1190
00:41:55,891 --> 00:41:56,525
>> I just want to say that

1191
00:41:56,525 --> 00:41:58,259
it's really outstanding it. So

1192
00:41:58,259 --> 00:42:01,596
you guys did a tremendous job.

1193
00:42:01,596 --> 00:42:02,163
And I think that shows right

1194
00:42:02,163 --> 00:42:04,733
there what a great job guys

1195
00:42:04,733 --> 00:42:06,368
have done. So thank you. And

1196
00:42:06,368 --> 00:42:07,803
then I had a question about

1197
00:42:07,803 --> 00:42:10,803
the additional funding for the

1198
00:42:12,774 --> 00:42:13,641
use. Leaks where did that

1199
00:42:13,641 --> 00:42:15,770
request come from lead to the

1200
00:42:15,770 --> 00:42:15,443
league's request, the

1201
00:42:15,443 --> 00:42:17,443
additional 45?

1202
00:42:19,810 --> 00:42:19,647
>> I believe that.

1203
00:42:19,647 --> 00:42:20,182
>> a resident requested and

1204
00:42:20,182 --> 00:42:23,182
then it came through. The

1205
00:42:23,418 --> 00:42:24,386
mayor has a request. So we

1206
00:42:24,386 --> 00:42:26,210
presented it so that we would

1207
00:42:26,210 --> 00:42:28,691
have consensus whether or not

1208
00:42:28,691 --> 00:42:32,291
fund and Fy 20's 7. It was

1209
00:42:33,629 --> 00:42:36,198
proposed to have lower funding

1210
00:42:36,198 --> 00:42:38,200
amount it in previous years it

1211
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:39,235
was 125,001 town, based you

1212
00:42:39,235 --> 00:42:40,936
know, our efforts to try to do

1213
00:42:40,936 --> 00:42:43,936
that. Sarah Base budget and,

1214
00:42:46,275 --> 00:42:47,109
you know, that's have we had

1215
00:42:47,109 --> 00:42:47,710
an opportunity to ask the

1216
00:42:47,710 --> 00:42:50,110
leadership that the different

1217
00:42:52,215 --> 00:42:55,151
leagues. I know that. You

1218
00:42:55,151 --> 00:42:58,751
know, a resident speak up for

1219
00:42:58,955 --> 00:43:00,223
these organizations or I think

1220
00:43:00,223 --> 00:43:01,123
we kind of sigh last year with

1221
00:43:01,123 --> 00:43:04,723
the funding of the food banks

1222
00:43:05,595 --> 00:43:07,664
and I mean, I support you

1223
00:43:07,664 --> 00:43:10,600
sports million per cent. And I

1224
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:11,166
think it's very important

1225
00:43:11,166 --> 00:43:11,767
investment to invest in the

1226
00:43:11,767 --> 00:43:14,703
children in the future. This

1227
00:43:14,703 --> 00:43:15,705
community. But I'm just

1228
00:43:15,705 --> 00:43:17,740
curious, have we spoken to the

1229
00:43:17,740 --> 00:43:18,274
leadership that those

1230
00:43:18,274 --> 00:43:20,674
different you sleeves and

1231
00:43:22,212 --> 00:43:23,213
asked? If they need it. I

1232
00:43:23,213 --> 00:43:23,813
spoke with one member of the

1233
00:43:23,813 --> 00:43:26,449
board of one of these leagues

1234
00:43:26,449 --> 00:43:29,252
and you know, the kind of

1235
00:43:29,252 --> 00:43:32,555
express Lee. Is what you know.

1236
00:43:32,555 --> 00:43:33,557
We will keep moving forward.

1237
00:43:33,557 --> 00:43:34,358
We will keep providing the

1238
00:43:34,358 --> 00:43:36,459
same level of service with

1239
00:43:36,459 --> 00:43:38,127
that without that funding will

1240
00:43:38,127 --> 00:43:38,695
make sure children get what

1241
00:43:38,695 --> 00:43:42,320
they need and it's not from

1242
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:42,965
the city. Then. I mean, we

1243
00:43:42,965 --> 00:43:43,800
have a really giving community

1244
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:44,668
that that funds the sort of

1245
00:43:44,668 --> 00:43:47,304
things. So just curious, if we

1246
00:43:47,304 --> 00:43:49,704
spoken to leadership, MR.

1247
00:43:49,739 --> 00:43:51,475
Mayor Commissioner Carey,

1248
00:43:51,475 --> 00:43:52,542
thank you for the question.

1249
00:43:52,542 --> 00:43:55,244
One, we did not get any

1250
00:43:55,244 --> 00:43:55,579
request not just from the

1251
00:43:55,579 --> 00:43:57,147
league's but

1252
00:43:57,147 --> 00:43:59,547
>> we actually sent letters

1253
00:44:00,384 --> 00:44:01,385
out last. When was the timing,

1254
00:44:01,385 --> 00:44:03,286
Christina, so were accurate on

1255
00:44:03,286 --> 00:44:05,188
the statement when we sent out

1256
00:44:05,188 --> 00:44:06,624
e-mails with the applications,

1257
00:44:06,624 --> 00:44:07,158
we alerted them to that. The

1258
00:44:07,158 --> 00:44:09,660
funding MAY be in a lower

1259
00:44:09,660 --> 00:44:11,127
level based on what?

1260
00:44:11,127 --> 00:44:12,830
>> You know, challenges we had

1261
00:44:12,830 --> 00:44:13,831
in this fiscal year. What was

1262
00:44:13,831 --> 00:44:15,990
it? I mean, I'm That was

1263
00:44:15,990 --> 00:44:18,690
probably in MARCH or APRIL. So

1264
00:44:18,690 --> 00:44:18,269
what I would say is early last

1265
00:44:18,269 --> 00:44:19,303
year.

1266
00:44:19,303 --> 00:44:20,710
>> Or I'm sorry. Earlier this

1267
00:44:20,710 --> 00:44:20,804
year, we communicated that

1268
00:44:20,804 --> 00:44:22,606
there would be a reduction. We

1269
00:44:22,606 --> 00:44:24,642
would be planning the

1270
00:44:24,642 --> 00:44:25,543
rejection to answer your long

1271
00:44:25,543 --> 00:44:29,790
answer to question. We did not

1272
00:44:29,790 --> 00:44:30,348
receive any feedback from any

1273
00:44:30,348 --> 00:44:31,820
leak official that represented

1274
00:44:31,820 --> 00:44:31,582
leagues in general or any

1275
00:44:31,582 --> 00:44:33,982
other entity that said,

1276
00:44:35,319 --> 00:44:37,719
please. Advocate for return.

1277
00:44:37,955 --> 00:44:38,556
It the request that you are

1278
00:44:38,556 --> 00:44:39,123
referring to went to you all

1279
00:44:39,123 --> 00:44:40,658
didn't come to us. And then

1280
00:44:40,658 --> 00:44:42,159
the request that Kristina

1281
00:44:42,159 --> 00:44:45,159
reference came from the mayor

1282
00:44:47,732 --> 00:44:48,300
directly missed. Okay. To

1283
00:44:48,300 --> 00:44:48,966
Commissioner Carey's at the

1284
00:44:48,966 --> 00:44:49,567
different. I just wanted a

1285
00:44:49,567 --> 00:44:52,567
swimmer question then. So do

1286
00:44:52,770 --> 00:44:53,638
you need a response on this?

1287
00:44:53,638 --> 00:44:54,539
>> Right now in today, which

1288
00:44:54,539 --> 00:44:55,173
like the contest will in order

1289
00:44:55,173 --> 00:44:57,573
to incorporate whatever change

1290
00:44:57,842 --> 00:44:58,309
into the next iteration of the

1291
00:44:58,309 --> 00:45:00,145
budget into the final

1292
00:45:00,145 --> 00:45:02,545
iteration. Yes and sorry,

1293
00:45:03,882 --> 00:45:04,448
you're almost done how many

1294
00:45:04,448 --> 00:45:07,448
leagues are there in total

1295
00:45:07,986 --> 00:45:09,986
that we're funding?

1296
00:45:11,489 --> 00:45:13,489
>> 6 or 7 and?

1297
00:45:14,125 --> 00:45:15,270
>> Well, that 45,000 be

1298
00:45:15,270 --> 00:45:17,270
distributed equally between

1299
00:45:18,290 --> 00:45:19,631
between of 6 or 7 weeks now it

1300
00:45:19,631 --> 00:45:20,666
would restore them to what

1301
00:45:20,666 --> 00:45:22,166
they in this current year,

1302
00:45:22,166 --> 00:45:24,769
which is 125 total. But I I

1303
00:45:24,769 --> 00:45:25,370
don't know the detail of them.

1304
00:45:25,370 --> 00:45:28,370
You can get that information

1305
00:45:28,774 --> 00:45:29,641
to you, though. We do have

1306
00:45:29,641 --> 00:45:30,242
second the second budget

1307
00:45:30,242 --> 00:45:31,810
meeting which we can get that

1308
00:45:31,810 --> 00:45:34,980
information. So I think we had

1309
00:45:34,980 --> 00:45:35,547
a lot of other commissioners

1310
00:45:35,547 --> 00:45:38,547
that wanted to speak about

1311
00:45:39,718 --> 00:45:40,319
this. I anybody else

1312
00:45:40,319 --> 00:45:41,654
commissioner has us a first.

1313
00:45:41,654 --> 00:45:42,221
Yeah. I totally support

1314
00:45:42,221 --> 00:45:44,621
restoring the youth league

1315
00:45:45,458 --> 00:45:46,900
funding to the current levels.

1316
00:45:46,900 --> 00:45:48,961
So I totally support that. And

1317
00:45:48,961 --> 00:45:50,496
I did hear from mom the

1318
00:45:50,496 --> 00:45:53,496
someone speaking for the Youth

1319
00:45:54,133 --> 00:45:56,133
Football League.

1320
00:45:59,205 --> 00:45:59,839
>> And on another topic,

1321
00:45:59,839 --> 00:46:02,141
>> at the last budget workshop

1322
00:46:02,141 --> 00:46:05,741
we heard from of Steve Hansen

1323
00:46:08,381 --> 00:46:08,982
from the bike toward and he

1324
00:46:08,982 --> 00:46:09,482
was concerned about 6 million

1325
00:46:09,482 --> 00:46:12,482
dollars that the by for

1326
00:46:13,152 --> 00:46:14,387
transfers to the city and also

1327
00:46:14,387 --> 00:46:16,787
about reserves that board

1328
00:46:17,924 --> 00:46:18,458
would be left with. And the

1329
00:46:18,458 --> 00:46:20,858
long range forecast, the

1330
00:46:20,994 --> 00:46:22,796
chilled over a period of about

1331
00:46:22,796 --> 00:46:23,363
5 years. Those reserves go

1332
00:46:23,363 --> 00:46:24,964
down to nothing in being a

1333
00:46:24,964 --> 00:46:26,964
negative number.

1334
00:46:29,335 --> 00:46:29,902
>> That that's not.

1335
00:46:29,902 --> 00:46:32,302
>> Accurate. What it would

1336
00:46:32,572 --> 00:46:33,506
show is like in I think it was

1337
00:46:33,506 --> 00:46:36,800
5 or 6 that they would no

1338
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:36,576
longer have access reserves.

1339
00:46:36,576 --> 00:46:37,110
They still had operational

1340
00:46:37,110 --> 00:46:38,712
reserves. They still have

1341
00:46:38,712 --> 00:46:39,946
their capital reserves. They

1342
00:46:39,946 --> 00:46:42,946
did not have excess reserves.

1343
00:46:44,551 --> 00:46:47,860
Okay. He said he made a good

1344
00:46:47,860 --> 00:46:47,687
point. That insurance not

1345
00:46:47,687 --> 00:46:49,623
cover destruction of the dax.

1346
00:46:49,623 --> 00:46:50,657
If that should happen in a

1347
00:46:50,657 --> 00:46:51,958
major hurricane.

1348
00:46:51,958 --> 00:46:53,726
>> And so that was a good

1349
00:46:53,726 --> 00:46:55,280
point for wanted to have more

1350
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:55,628
reserves in the bite. Then the

1351
00:46:55,628 --> 00:46:57,431
90 today said the city might

1352
00:46:57,431 --> 00:47:01,310
have in general. But I don't

1353
00:47:01,335 --> 00:47:02,368
see that any budget shifts or

1354
00:47:02,368 --> 00:47:05,139
changes were made. It looks

1355
00:47:05,139 --> 00:47:05,338
like it's the same now as it

1356
00:47:05,338 --> 00:47:06,139
was.

1357
00:47:06,139 --> 00:47:09,760
>> We did not get any feedback

1358
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:09,677
in order to change that. So it

1359
00:47:09,677 --> 00:47:12,677
was not incorporated into the

1360
00:47:16,217 --> 00:47:16,750
budget.

1361
00:47:16,750 --> 00:47:18,352
>> MR. Mayor Commissioner

1362
00:47:18,352 --> 00:47:20,530
Haskell, thank you for the

1363
00:47:20,530 --> 00:47:22,823
question. What I do would like

1364
00:47:22,823 --> 00:47:23,657
to layer on that answer is I

1365
00:47:23,657 --> 00:47:26,657
believe it was articulated in

1366
00:47:28,262 --> 00:47:29,430
that meeting that. It's not

1367
00:47:29,430 --> 00:47:31,198
the bite in the city where

1368
00:47:31,198 --> 00:47:32,199
one. So if there was an impact

1369
00:47:32,199 --> 00:47:34,969
to the bite that required a

1370
00:47:34,969 --> 00:47:37,369
restoration of and investment

1371
00:47:37,839 --> 00:47:38,473
of that magnitude. We would be

1372
00:47:38,473 --> 00:47:41,342
coming together and that would

1373
00:47:41,342 --> 00:47:41,909
be coming from the city, not

1374
00:47:41,909 --> 00:47:43,909
necessarily from insurance.

1375
00:47:45,379 --> 00:47:46,647
Does does that help answer?

1376
00:47:46,647 --> 00:47:47,181
>> Meaning that it a separate

1377
00:47:47,181 --> 00:47:50,181
fund, though. And I mean,

1378
00:47:50,418 --> 00:47:51,385
don't don't active site funds

1379
00:47:51,385 --> 00:47:54,456
see in their own silo except

1380
00:47:54,456 --> 00:47:55,423
when they transfer something.

1381
00:47:55,423 --> 00:47:58,920
Is general operating? They are

1382
00:47:58,920 --> 00:47:58,559
separate funds. However, we do

1383
00:47:58,559 --> 00:47:59,427
have we pull our cash

1384
00:47:59,427 --> 00:48:01,796
altogether. So in the event of

1385
00:48:01,796 --> 00:48:03,796
some sort of

1386
00:48:04,799 --> 00:48:05,900
>> drastic disaster, we we

1387
00:48:05,900 --> 00:48:07,736
would figure out how to make.

1388
00:48:07,736 --> 00:48:10,304
Would look to ourselves store.

1389
00:48:10,304 --> 00:48:12,373
That is what I we all right.

1390
00:48:12,373 --> 00:48:15,310
Try to layer on the answer. I

1391
00:48:15,310 --> 00:48:15,911
to help. He's concerned. Okay.

1392
00:48:15,911 --> 00:48:18,747
We'll GOD forbid that doesn't

1393
00:48:18,747 --> 00:48:21,147
happen. Commissioner cat mask

1394
00:48:22,117 --> 00:48:25,117
up. Thank you, MISTER Mayor.

1395
00:48:25,854 --> 00:48:26,254
I-2 heard from football. So I

1396
00:48:26,254 --> 00:48:26,822
fully support.

1397
00:48:26,822 --> 00:48:27,356
>> Restoring the funding to

1398
00:48:27,356 --> 00:48:29,525
air it is it sends a good

1399
00:48:29,525 --> 00:48:33,125
message to our community. I do

1400
00:48:33,462 --> 00:48:36,298
want to support that. And in

1401
00:48:36,298 --> 00:48:37,566
regards to life. I want to

1402
00:48:37,566 --> 00:48:39,168
reiterate what Commissioner

1403
00:48:39,168 --> 00:48:43,171
Velez had is that we are all

1404
00:48:43,171 --> 00:48:44,172
one team and, you know, if

1405
00:48:44,172 --> 00:48:45,207
something were to happen to

1406
00:48:45,207 --> 00:48:46,410
the docks and a hurricane or

1407
00:48:46,410 --> 00:48:46,909
something, we all as a city

1408
00:48:46,909 --> 00:48:47,509
are going to figure out like

1409
00:48:47,509 --> 00:48:50,446
how that's going to get paid

1410
00:48:50,446 --> 00:48:51,460
for it. So I'm not worried

1411
00:48:51,460 --> 00:48:52,548
about the excess reserves at

1412
00:48:52,548 --> 00:48:54,483
the for that. So thank you.

1413
00:48:54,483 --> 00:48:56,852
That's all I got. Thank you,

1414
00:48:56,852 --> 00:48:57,419
commissioner. On the side.

1415
00:48:57,419 --> 00:49:00,419
>> that going to Vice Mayor

1416
00:49:02,792 --> 00:49:04,327
Lee? I would say I support the

1417
00:49:04,327 --> 00:49:04,927
adding the 45 back from

1418
00:49:04,927 --> 00:49:06,596
reserves. She wanted to know

1419
00:49:06,596 --> 00:49:09,297
Thank you. Vice Mayor Lee.

1420
00:49:09,297 --> 00:49:11,297
Commissioner Rusty.

1421
00:49:11,434 --> 00:49:14,434
>> We're doing on the 45, but

1422
00:49:15,271 --> 00:49:15,838
also the bite either. The

1423
00:49:15,838 --> 00:49:18,838
bacon so fun. Sure. Little

1424
00:49:20,109 --> 00:49:20,843
bit. Put some money away. 4, a

1425
00:49:20,843 --> 00:49:23,243
potential disaster. And then

1426
00:49:23,546 --> 00:49:24,470
that money could earn interest

1427
00:49:24,470 --> 00:49:26,415
and be used as a

1428
00:49:26,415 --> 00:49:27,160
self-insurance fund. I mean,

1429
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,160
we're talking about, you know

1430
00:49:30,787 --> 00:49:31,755
this and that just for couple

1431
00:49:31,755 --> 00:49:34,155
$100,000 a year away in.

1432
00:49:34,924 --> 00:49:37,924
You'll have that you can 5

1433
00:49:38,995 --> 00:49:39,596
years. You know, Hopefully

1434
00:49:39,596 --> 00:49:42,566
this year we don't get nailed

1435
00:49:42,566 --> 00:49:43,132
with a hurricane. But I would

1436
00:49:43,132 --> 00:49:44,835
say self insurance. So, you

1437
00:49:44,835 --> 00:49:46,769
know, put the money in the

1438
00:49:46,769 --> 00:49:47,703
bank. Good interest grows so

1439
00:49:47,703 --> 00:49:51,303
that that's where a man on

1440
00:49:53,109 --> 00:49:53,677
that. So, you know. Thank you,

1441
00:49:53,677 --> 00:49:55,677
Commissioner Commissioner I

college in coming back home.

1451
00:50:13,163 --> 00:50:14,999
We need a place full and we

1452
00:50:14,999 --> 00:50:17,267
need a place to keep them out

1453
00:50:17,267 --> 00:50:18,202
of trouble. We'll be going

1454
00:50:18,202 --> 00:50:19,703
through with these e-bikes

1455
00:50:19,703 --> 00:50:22,703

1459
00:50:30,448 --> 00:50:31,614
And so I'm just thankful we

>> I have a question. Bigger

1468
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:52,600
ticket item. This being the

1469

bonds and apparently yesterday

1470
00:50:55,273 --> 00:50:55,907
there was bonds were put out

1471
00:50:55,907 --> 00:50:58,509
to like, do we have any update

1472
00:50:58,509 --> 00:51:00,345
on that? We have.

1473
00:51:00,345 --> 00:51:03,945
>> That was for the Jose Marti

1474
00:51:03,948 --> 00:51:04,549
bond. We we issued the well as

1475
00:51:04,549 --> 00:51:07,549
competitor Levy. Did we have

1476
00:51:08,119 --> 00:51:11,719
an issue yet, however, on the

1477
00:51:12,230 --> 00:51:15,230
bid itself was accepted. It's

1478
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:17,920
around 3.9, 5, 3%, interest.

1479
00:51:19,231 --> 00:51:22,367
So we will have more. Details

1480
00:51:22,367 --> 00:51:23,340
on coming out the next week.

1481
00:51:23,340 --> 00:51:23,702
>> So we know exactly what the

1482
00:51:23,702 --> 00:51:25,936
interest rate will be that

1483
00:51:25,936 --> 00:51:27,939
will be paying on it. Okay.

1484
00:51:27,939 --> 00:51:30,339
And follow-up question on

1485
00:51:33,211 --> 00:51:34,412
that. If we. Can, we draw down

1486
00:51:34,412 --> 00:51:36,481
the money in increment or do

1487
00:51:36,481 --> 00:51:38,830
we draw down all at once? And

1488
00:51:38,830 --> 00:51:40,850
we draw down all at once and

1489
00:51:40,850 --> 00:51:40,953
we don't need to spend it all

1490
00:51:40,953 --> 00:51:43,689
at once, can we keep some of

1491
00:51:43,689 --> 00:51:43,956
it in an interest bearing

1492
00:51:43,956 --> 00:51:45,956
account?

1493
00:51:46,358 --> 00:51:48,358
>> Yes, we just

1494
00:51:49,494 --> 00:51:52,494
>> Make money on the money.

1495
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,802
It's a little I can give you a

1496
00:51:56,802 --> 00:51:57,803
better explanation like after

1497
00:51:57,803 --> 00:51:59,238
we get the money. But we

1498
00:51:59,238 --> 00:52:02,238
cannot just like invest the

1499
00:52:02,274 --> 00:52:03,575
money and make all kinds of

1500
00:52:03,575 --> 00:52:05,411
interest it. That's not the

1501
00:52:05,411 --> 00:52:06,812
way works. However, for the

1502
00:52:06,812 --> 00:52:08,800
Jose Marti, we are going to we

1503
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,830
have to get all of it at once

1504
00:52:11,830 --> 00:52:11,651
and given a f dot, I believe

1505
00:52:11,651 --> 00:52:15,251
OCTOBER 7th is when we have

1506
00:52:16,222 --> 00:52:17,490
get there.

1507
00:52:17,490 --> 00:52:19,257
>> Ok, cause if we if we draw

1508
00:52:19,257 --> 00:52:20,892
down the entire bond amount

1509
00:52:20,892 --> 00:52:23,292
for fire station number 3, 4,

1510
00:52:27,466 --> 00:52:29,569
it. I your slide show that the

1511
00:52:29,569 --> 00:52:31,704
average not not this year next

1512
00:52:31,704 --> 00:52:34,541
year, the average home said

1513
00:52:34,541 --> 00:52:36,941
property would increase about

1514
00:52:37,477 --> 00:52:40,477
$125 in taxes and then onto

1515
00:52:44,216 --> 00:52:45,285
over 200. That was my math.

1516
00:52:45,285 --> 00:52:48,121
And it for all 3 bonds when

1517
00:52:48,121 --> 00:52:48,688
their initiative would be 895.

1518
00:52:48,688 --> 00:52:51,688
>> $5. I don't know you can

1519
00:52:55,929 --> 00:52:58,331
see them but for Homestead.

1520
00:52:58,331 --> 00:53:00,967
$5322 for this is on based on

1521
00:53:00,967 --> 00:53:03,367
average valuations. Keep that

1522
00:53:03,503 --> 00:53:06,503
in mind. $322 in commercial is

1523
00:53:09,476 --> 00:53:10,577
on $490.

1524
00:53:10,577 --> 00:53:11,211
>> So that's a big increase.

1525
00:53:11,211 --> 00:53:13,514
You know, recent recent years.

1526
00:53:13,514 --> 00:53:16,514
So when next year comes

1527
00:53:17,284 --> 00:53:17,851
around. You know, if don't

1528
00:53:17,851 --> 00:53:19,787
want to settle the citizens

1529
00:53:19,787 --> 00:53:22,189
with extra tax burden. Gonna

1530
00:53:22,189 --> 00:53:25,789
have to slash even more for

1531
00:53:26,590 --> 00:53:27,428
the regular budget.

1532
00:53:27,428 --> 00:53:29,196
>> You're correct. Week on an

1533
00:53:29,196 --> 00:53:31,970
annual basis where we evaluate

1534
00:53:31,970 --> 00:53:33,100
how we're going to make the

1535
00:53:33,100 --> 00:53:34,735
However, I just want to remind

1536
00:53:34,735 --> 00:53:37,135
everyone that the taxpayers

1537
00:53:37,571 --> 00:53:38,172
did vote these issuances in so

1538
00:53:38,172 --> 00:53:42,209
while we are going to try to

1539
00:53:42,209 --> 00:53:43,577
mitigate it as much as we can.

1540
00:53:43,577 --> 00:53:44,178
It's not necessarily true that

1541
00:53:44,178 --> 00:53:47,778
we will be able to completely

1542
00:53:50,518 --> 00:53:51,185
mitigate it. MR. Mayor. MR.

1543
00:53:51,185 --> 00:53:53,585
>> Commissioner, just no great

1544
00:53:53,621 --> 00:53:54,188
questions. And and we have,

1545
00:53:54,188 --> 00:53:57,188
you know, obviously this is

1546
00:53:58,292 --> 00:53:58,793
not done in a vacuum.

1547
00:53:58,793 --> 00:54:01,193
Approach. Was the grant

1548
00:54:01,429 --> 00:54:02,290
requests, we believe strongly

1549
00:54:02,290 --> 00:54:02,630
that we feel that we're going

1550
00:54:02,630 --> 00:54:03,798
to get some of these grants,

1551
00:54:03,798 --> 00:54:07,998
if not all our plan would be

1552
00:54:08,402 --> 00:54:10,802
to. Mitigate the dedication.

1553
00:54:11,305 --> 00:54:12,773
Now, whether that's at once or

1554
00:54:12,773 --> 00:54:14,409
whether that is put that into

1555
00:54:14,409 --> 00:54:16,310
a separate line item and pay

1556
00:54:16,310 --> 00:54:20,181
as we go from that fun. So

1557
00:54:20,181 --> 00:54:20,682
just know that we are. We are

1558
00:54:20,682 --> 00:54:22,183
establishing different

1559
00:54:22,183 --> 00:54:23,551
approaches based on what we do

1560
00:54:23,551 --> 00:54:24,319
moving forward. But it's all

1561
00:54:24,319 --> 00:54:24,819
in an effort to mitigate the

1562
00:54:24,819 --> 00:54:27,219
total obligation to our

1563
00:54:28,723 --> 00:54:30,723
community.

1564
00:54:31,626 --> 00:54:35,226
>> I have one more item that

1565
00:54:36,731 --> 00:54:38,320
relates to. At the following

1566
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:39,500
year and 2 this year, I would

1567
00:54:39,500 --> 00:54:42,671
like to put some money in this

1568
00:54:42,671 --> 00:54:45,671
year's budget or direct. The

1569
00:54:46,641 --> 00:54:47,175
city manager to take it out of

1570
00:54:47,175 --> 00:54:50,378
of funds that he has the

1571
00:54:50,378 --> 00:54:53,782
ability to spend to do during

1572
00:54:53,782 --> 00:54:54,415
this fiscal year and

1573
00:54:54,415 --> 00:54:56,815
efficiency review of city

1574
00:54:57,386 --> 00:54:59,121
staffing and operations. And

1575
00:54:59,121 --> 00:54:59,722
the reason to do that

1576
00:54:59,722 --> 00:55:02,722
efficiency review is if we're

1577
00:55:03,125 --> 00:55:06,595
going to have to reduce our

1578
00:55:06,595 --> 00:55:08,798
expenditures next year I would

1579
00:55:08,798 --> 00:55:11,798
like to do it intelligently.

1580
00:55:12,668 --> 00:55:15,680
The most intelligent way

1581
00:55:15,371 --> 00:55:16,505
possible. So would like to see

1582
00:55:16,505 --> 00:55:17,339
some moneys and I don't

1583
00:55:17,339 --> 00:55:20,339
exactly know how much an

1584
00:55:20,709 --> 00:55:21,476
efficiency review would cost.

1585
00:55:21,476 --> 00:55:22,978
This would be bringing in. I

1586
00:55:22,978 --> 00:55:23,846
would assume someone to work

1587
00:55:23,846 --> 00:55:24,847
work with us, but not

1588
00:55:24,847 --> 00:55:26,847
necessarily an in-house

1589
00:55:28,751 --> 00:55:31,751
person. It would be a

1590
00:55:32,255 --> 00:55:33,523
collaborative effort so I just

1591
00:55:33,523 --> 00:55:37,359
want see if a gift can get any

1592
00:55:37,359 --> 00:55:38,361
support for that. So if I if I

1593
00:55:38,361 --> 00:55:40,563
can make a suggestion that

1594
00:55:40,563 --> 00:55:42,963
that had a topic.

1595
00:55:45,268 --> 00:55:46,735
>> Some years ago that win. We

1596
00:55:46,735 --> 00:55:49,735
had our interim city manager

1597
00:55:50,473 --> 00:55:52,275
and that was a directive that.

1598
00:55:52,275 --> 00:55:54,144
Pryor Commission was looking

1599
00:55:54,144 --> 00:55:54,977
at. So I think that would be a

1600
00:55:54,977 --> 00:55:55,712
good topic for city commission

1601
00:55:55,712 --> 00:55:58,314
meeting. So maybe maybe you

1602
00:55:58,314 --> 00:56:00,714
can sponsor either a

1603
00:56:01,151 --> 00:56:04,151
discussion item or or a

1604
00:56:05,655 --> 00:56:06,422
resolution with some backup

1605
00:56:06,422 --> 00:56:07,240
materials so that we have some

1606
00:56:07,240 --> 00:56:08,558
options to really, you know,

1607
00:56:08,558 --> 00:56:10,958
concretely, think about now

1608
00:56:13,196 --> 00:56:16,133
the my suggestion and started

1609
00:56:16,133 --> 00:56:17,500
actually had information on

1610
00:56:17,500 --> 00:56:18,680
health at the time that we I

1611
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:19,236
pursue that. Some might be

1612
00:56:19,236 --> 00:56:21,137
something if you would,

1613
00:56:21,137 --> 00:56:22,406
please, bring that back.

1614
00:56:22,406 --> 00:56:23,340
That's because I think it's a

1615
00:56:23,340 --> 00:56:26,340
very good. Thank mayor. That

1616
00:56:31,248 --> 00:56:31,981
suggests yep. Anybody else?

1617
00:56:31,981 --> 00:56:35,581
Okay. Have a few comments or

1618
00:56:37,521 --> 00:56:39,423
questions. So one is. On

1619
00:56:39,423 --> 00:56:40,825
transit. Very progress. Thank

1620
00:56:40,825 --> 00:56:43,825
you to our transit director

1621
00:56:45,696 --> 00:56:46,297
and staff is there. I saw the

1622
00:56:46,297 --> 00:56:49,297
response from the county. The

1623
00:56:50,167 --> 00:56:50,801
county did not choose to

1624
00:56:50,801 --> 00:56:51,402
providing the funding yet, but

1625
00:56:51,402 --> 00:56:54,402
they said they would revisit

1626
00:56:54,938 --> 00:56:55,506
that in DECEMBER. I think

1627
00:56:55,506 --> 00:56:58,506
that's what the e-mail said

1628
00:56:58,809 --> 00:57:00,110
from the county administrator.

1629
00:57:00,110 --> 00:57:02,246
And there was some commentary

1630
00:57:02,246 --> 00:57:03,214
about the availability for tdc

1631
00:57:03,214 --> 00:57:03,715
money, maybe for the Duval

1632
00:57:03,715 --> 00:57:05,149
Loop. I know this is a

1633
00:57:05,149 --> 00:57:07,549
compound question. Sorry, but

1634
00:57:08,850 --> 00:57:08,686
do we have idea for the

1635
00:57:08,686 --> 00:57:11,860
commission about where we're

1636
00:57:11,155 --> 00:57:14,155
headed? This year for transit

1637
00:57:14,626 --> 00:57:17,626
will be be more availability.

1638
00:57:18,496 --> 00:57:21,496
For funding in. And as

1639
00:57:21,633 --> 00:57:22,734
increased service, MR. Mayor.

1640
00:57:22,734 --> 00:57:24,736
Thank you for that question.

1641
00:57:24,736 --> 00:57:25,770
Christina, do you want to

1642
00:57:25,770 --> 00:57:26,371
field? I don't think it's a

1643
00:57:26,371 --> 00:57:26,972
difficult one. We could talk

1644
00:57:26,972 --> 00:57:29,708
about the funding from tc. I

1645
00:57:29,708 --> 00:57:30,208
think that's a very

1646
00:57:30,208 --> 00:57:32,608
>> cancer in regards to

1647
00:57:32,811 --> 00:57:34,679
funding for the Tdc for the

1648
00:57:34,679 --> 00:57:36,681
Duval. We have been given the

1649
00:57:36,681 --> 00:57:38,249
opinion that it would not be

1650
00:57:38,249 --> 00:57:38,816
available to to run the Duval

1651
00:57:38,816 --> 00:57:40,418
it. So unless there's some

1652
00:57:40,418 --> 00:57:42,418
sort of legislation.

1653
00:57:44,756 --> 00:57:45,890
>> Change or request? From

1654
00:57:45,890 --> 00:57:46,558
them, I guess directly. I'm

1655
00:57:46,558 --> 00:57:47,159
not really sure how that could

1656
00:57:47,159 --> 00:57:50,159
be accomplished. But at this

1657
00:57:51,296 --> 00:57:51,797
time, they the Duval it

1658
00:57:51,797 --> 00:57:54,197
operations would not be

1659
00:57:54,899 --> 00:57:55,967
something willing to fund. And

1660
00:57:55,967 --> 00:57:58,871
is that we have a written

1661
00:57:58,871 --> 00:57:59,805
opinion about that or is that

1662
00:57:59,805 --> 00:58:02,205
something that came directly

1663
00:58:02,608 --> 00:58:04,142
from was an ag opinion on

1664
00:58:04,142 --> 00:58:05,100
that. Okay. Okay. Thanks. So

1665
00:58:05,100 --> 00:58:06,845
MISTER Mayor, get that again.

1666
00:58:06,845 --> 00:58:07,412
I didn't mean as manager.

1667
00:58:07,412 --> 00:58:10,412
>> MR. Mayor and thank you,

1668
00:58:11,884 --> 00:58:12,518
Christina. This question

1669
00:58:12,518 --> 00:58:13,850
continues to surface. And I I

1670
00:58:13,850 --> 00:58:15,485
would imagine because we're

1671
00:58:15,521 --> 00:58:16,155
getting a lot of traffic on

1672
00:58:16,155 --> 00:58:18,555
outside individuals telling us

1673
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,280
how Fix this problem. It's

1674
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:24,290
been vetted and we've received

1675
00:58:24,290 --> 00:58:25,630
information directly that we

1676
00:58:25,630 --> 00:58:26,700
are not able to use tdc

1677
00:58:26,700 --> 00:58:28,200
funding for the Duval Street.

1678
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,770
So this is where this concept

1679
00:58:31,770 --> 00:58:32,939
of one loop came from. So to

1680
00:58:32,939 --> 00:58:33,939
continue to ask these

1681
00:58:33,939 --> 00:58:35,174
questions, perpetuates the

1682
00:58:35,174 --> 00:58:36,175
narrative we need to. We need

1683
00:58:36,175 --> 00:58:37,677
to be able to pause that. So

1684
00:58:37,677 --> 00:58:39,812
there's no additional funding

1685
00:58:39,812 --> 00:58:40,880
from Tdc regarding that as it

1686
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:41,748
pertains to the additional

1687
00:58:41,748 --> 00:58:42,581
stops in Stock Island, that

1688
00:58:42,581 --> 00:58:43,181
would be a direction that you

1689
00:58:43,181 --> 00:58:45,685
would give We believe that we

1690
00:58:45,685 --> 00:58:46,853
can accomplish it. We were

1691
00:58:46,853 --> 00:58:48,788
under the impression, although

1692
00:58:48,788 --> 00:58:49,823
we are take ya later, that

1693
00:58:49,823 --> 00:58:50,690
that was not an approved

1694
00:58:50,690 --> 00:58:52,726
budget from the county going

1695
00:58:52,726 --> 00:58:53,326
towards this. If you all give

1696
00:58:53,326 --> 00:58:54,561
us indication or direction to

1697
00:58:54,561 --> 00:58:55,161
pick up additional stops in

1698
00:58:55,161 --> 00:58:57,797
Stock Island, that's what our

1699
00:58:57,797 --> 00:58:58,698
team will be able to do right

1700
00:58:58,698 --> 00:58:59,232
now. What we're presenting new

1701
00:58:59,232 --> 00:59:01,935
is everything that we can

1702
00:59:01,935 --> 00:59:03,903
during the current budget. So

1703
00:59:03,903 --> 00:59:07,503
just to wrap up the discussion

1704
00:59:07,907 --> 00:59:08,508
about transit, are we

1705
00:59:08,508 --> 00:59:09,209
satisfied that the recurring

1706
00:59:09,209 --> 00:59:11,609
budgetary needs for transit

1707
00:59:11,811 --> 00:59:13,279
for 2028, for example.

1708
00:59:13,279 --> 00:59:13,880
>> Are going to be in place or

1709
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:17,851
is this a one year fix where

1710
00:59:17,851 --> 00:59:18,452
we're at? The words? Are we

1711
00:59:18,452 --> 00:59:19,520
gonna be able to carry this?

1712
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:21,655
You know, because in order to

1713
00:59:21,655 --> 00:59:22,155
have a successful transit

1714
00:59:22,155 --> 00:59:24,190
operation and has to be

1715
00:59:24,190 --> 00:59:26,590
consistent over years. So

1716
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:29,129
again, we haven't had that.

1717
00:59:29,129 --> 00:59:30,330
Well, the one will the island

1718
00:59:30,330 --> 00:59:30,931
hopper survive? Not just this

1719
00:59:30,931 --> 00:59:33,133
year we haven't 2028 coming.

1720
00:59:33,133 --> 00:59:34,401
Grow it from there or are we

1721
00:59:34,401 --> 00:59:35,301
going to have the same problem

1722
00:59:35,301 --> 00:59:38,901
next year trying to have that,

1723
00:59:39,730 --> 00:59:39,673
you know, one year fix. Well,

1724
00:59:39,673 --> 00:59:40,875
this to Whaley is up here. So

1725
00:59:40,875 --> 00:59:43,275
thank you, MR. Mayor.

1726
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:46,180
>> I wish I had a an answer

1727
00:59:46,180 --> 00:59:47,180
for that. Really we don't

1728
00:59:47,180 --> 00:59:47,748
know. So things are changing

1729
00:59:47,748 --> 00:59:50,148
constantly with thought and

1730
00:59:50,984 --> 00:59:53,921
that the federal level we do

1731
00:59:53,921 --> 00:59:55,289
apply for reoccurring funds.

1732
00:59:55,289 --> 00:59:56,891
Those funds will be there

1733
00:59:56,891 --> 00:59:58,392
should be there next year. We

1734
00:59:58,392 --> 01:00:01,496
apply for it again. And if you

1735
01:00:01,496 --> 01:00:02,960
know, things change, things

1736
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:05,299
change. But at the moment, we

1737
01:00:05,299 --> 01:00:05,933
do have dedicated funding from

1738
01:00:05,933 --> 01:00:07,935
53 11 Ford on local routes

1739
01:00:07,935 --> 01:00:11,535
such as the island Hopper. But

1740
01:00:13,700 --> 01:00:13,841
there's no guarantee. It's

1741
01:00:13,841 --> 01:00:14,842
it's a concern because in

1742
01:00:14,842 --> 01:00:15,409
order to have a successful

1743
01:00:15,409 --> 01:00:17,544
transit system, we have to

1744
01:00:17,544 --> 01:00:18,279
have consistency. So.

1745
01:00:18,279 --> 01:00:21,820
>> I think that we need to

1746
01:00:21,820 --> 01:00:21,683
really pay attention to that.

1747
01:00:21,683 --> 01:00:23,151
And I know what this is going

1748
01:00:23,151 --> 01:00:24,285
to be controversial. And I

1749
01:00:24,285 --> 01:00:27,155
don't like saying it, but I

1750
01:00:27,155 --> 01:00:27,689
think we have to get our

1751
01:00:27,689 --> 01:00:29,689
amazing director Wilkens

1752
01:00:31,259 --> 01:00:32,360
involved. He's here. He's

1753
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:35,163
hearing me say that. So if we

1754
01:00:35,163 --> 01:00:38,163
could get him involved little

1755
01:00:38,666 --> 01:00:41,369
loose. Well will and folks

1756
01:00:41,369 --> 01:00:42,270
know what I'm talking about.

1757
01:00:42,270 --> 01:00:42,904
Some folks know what I'm

1758
01:00:42,904 --> 01:00:46,800
talking about and not going to

1759
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:46,508
say the word but we need I

1760
01:00:46,508 --> 01:00:49,508
think we need to start

1761
01:00:51,446 --> 01:00:52,614
actually thinking about it.

1762
01:00:52,614 --> 01:00:53,348
And dedicating increases to

1763
01:00:53,348 --> 01:00:53,916
transit to have the

1764
01:00:53,916 --> 01:00:56,316
consistency for our system

1765
01:00:56,518 --> 01:00:57,452
because we don't have a

1766
01:00:57,452 --> 01:00:58,190
dedicated fund for transit. We

1767
01:00:58,190 --> 01:00:58,520
have to have it so anyway,

1768
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:01,289
that's my. Those are my

1769
01:01:01,289 --> 01:01:01,823
thoughts. Not for this budget.

1770
01:01:01,823 --> 01:01:04,259
Going forward. We need to

1771
01:01:04,259 --> 01:01:05,794
figure it out because I you

1772
01:01:05,794 --> 01:01:06,862
know, seems like every year

1773
01:01:06,862 --> 01:01:10,462
for the last 3 or 4 years, we

1774
01:01:11,866 --> 01:01:14,837
have the same. Problem. Why we

1775
01:01:14,837 --> 01:01:15,437
do have the 50% funding we

1776
01:01:15,437 --> 01:01:16,380
we've identified that. That's

1777
01:01:16,380 --> 01:01:18,941
something we're going to have

1778
01:01:18,941 --> 01:01:21,310
every year. It's just for all

1779
01:01:21,310 --> 01:01:22,111
of the, you know, the Deval it

1780
01:01:22,111 --> 01:01:23,813
bore for the extra services or

1781
01:01:23,813 --> 01:01:26,480
the services that are outside

1782
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:26,816
of what the core services.

1783
01:01:26,816 --> 01:01:27,382
Those are ones that we do not

1784
01:01:27,382 --> 01:01:29,382
necessarily have dedicated

1785
01:01:30,753 --> 01:01:31,553
funding for.

1786
01:01:31,553 --> 01:01:33,155
>> Just couple other last

1787
01:01:33,155 --> 01:01:34,156
point before imminent. As for

1788
01:01:34,156 --> 01:01:34,757
a vote.

1789
01:01:34,757 --> 01:01:36,759
>> The 1 million dollars for

1790
01:01:36,759 --> 01:01:39,759
storm thank you are fantastic.

1791
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,960
Director of transit for the

1792
01:01:44,767 --> 01:01:45,234
1 million dollars storm water.

1793
01:01:45,234 --> 01:01:46,702
This what would staff

1794
01:01:46,702 --> 01:01:47,703
recommends should should be

1795
01:01:47,703 --> 01:01:48,605
have a discussion item, a

1796
01:01:48,605 --> 01:01:51,500
presentation about the options

1797
01:01:51,374 --> 01:01:53,276
for the commission to weigh in

1798
01:01:53,276 --> 01:01:55,177
on what you want for Inc. I'm

1799
01:01:55,177 --> 01:01:57,213
sorry, the storage. Stuart of

1800
01:01:57,213 --> 01:01:57,746
money for the 1 million

1801
01:01:57,746 --> 01:02:00,746
dollars can. How can the

1802
01:02:00,750 --> 01:02:03,750
commission weigh in to provide

1803
01:02:04,721 --> 01:02:05,322
some feedback as in terms of

1804
01:02:05,322 --> 01:02:07,722
priorities for that 1 million

1805
01:02:09,580 --> 01:02:09,559
facility. Let me let me grab

1806
01:02:09,559 --> 01:02:12,559
this one. You look like

1807
01:02:14,898 --> 01:02:15,464
they're ready. MR. Mayor and

1808
01:02:15,464 --> 01:02:17,864
Commission, the process to

1809
01:02:17,934 --> 01:02:19,202
direct where funds go. You

1810
01:02:19,202 --> 01:02:20,337
control, you control that by

1811
01:02:20,337 --> 01:02:23,337
approving the cip process that

1812
01:02:24,341 --> 01:02:25,420
we present it. Matt does a

1813
01:02:25,420 --> 01:02:26,243
great opportunity because

1814
01:02:26,243 --> 01:02:26,677
obviously the steward for

1815
01:02:26,677 --> 01:02:27,910
funds are earmarked

1816
01:02:27,910 --> 01:02:28,612
specifically for certain

1817
01:02:28,612 --> 01:02:29,246
things. So.

1818
01:02:29,246 --> 01:02:31,480
>> Matt can present that which

1819
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:34,818
he already has. We have a plan

1820
01:02:34,818 --> 01:02:36,786
cip in front of you. It should

1821
01:02:36,786 --> 01:02:37,888
be something that you all are

1822
01:02:37,888 --> 01:02:38,455
reviewing. If there's a

1823
01:02:38,455 --> 01:02:39,857
passion point or a location

1824
01:02:39,857 --> 01:02:41,859
that you want us to re rack.

1825
01:02:41,859 --> 01:02:43,260
Keep in mind, we were unaware

1826
01:02:43,260 --> 01:02:43,626
of what the stewardship

1827
01:02:43,626 --> 01:02:44,461
funding was going to Now that

1828
01:02:44,461 --> 01:02:47,300
we have an indication of a

1829
01:02:47,300 --> 01:02:47,598
five-year funding mechanism,

1830
01:02:47,598 --> 01:02:49,400
we feel very comfortable in

1831
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,267
planning accordingly. But you

1832
01:02:51,267 --> 01:02:53,170
tell us and there's

1833
01:02:53,170 --> 01:02:53,804
iterations. But the process

1834
01:02:53,804 --> 01:02:54,371
you already own the process is

1835
01:02:54,371 --> 01:02:56,974
you tell us where you want

1836
01:02:56,974 --> 01:02:58,409
that money to cup.

1837
01:02:58,409 --> 01:02:59,430
>> I think that would be a

1838
01:02:59,430 --> 01:03:01,443
good another good presentation

1839
01:03:02,246 --> 01:03:02,914
or discussions. So that

1840
01:03:02,914 --> 01:03:05,914
especially in light of our

1841
01:03:07,518 --> 01:03:08,119
legislative affairs process

1842
01:03:08,119 --> 01:03:11,119
directing law or lobbyists to

1843
01:03:11,255 --> 01:03:11,822
try to go after more money.

1844
01:03:11,822 --> 01:03:14,822
What those projects are and

1845
01:03:15,325 --> 01:03:16,426
what would be shovel ready.

1846
01:03:16,426 --> 01:03:19,564
And in a expectation for the

1847
01:03:19,564 --> 01:03:20,131
commission so that we know all

1848
01:03:20,131 --> 01:03:23,340
7 of us could be making the

1849
01:03:23,340 --> 01:03:23,534
phone calls, all 7 of us could

1850
01:03:23,534 --> 01:03:25,236
be, you know, going to

1851
01:03:25,236 --> 01:03:27,636
Tallahassee and say, hey,

1852
01:03:28,105 --> 01:03:29,106
this, 10th and Harris or

1853
01:03:29,106 --> 01:03:29,706
whatever, the next whatever.

1854
01:03:29,706 --> 01:03:32,106
Next flood mitigation project

1855
01:03:32,977 --> 01:03:33,578
is. So that that's really what

1856
01:03:33,578 --> 01:03:34,846
I'm saying is what I guess we

1857
01:03:34,846 --> 01:03:35,413
would. It would be good for us

1858
01:03:35,413 --> 01:03:36,314
to have a presentation soon

1859
01:03:36,314 --> 01:03:38,714
about what those priorities

1860
01:03:41,119 --> 01:03:41,919
are. So we're up to date, MR.

1861
01:03:41,919 --> 01:03:44,455
So fielding that the request

1862
01:03:44,455 --> 01:03:47,455
you would like a presentation

1863
01:03:48,359 --> 01:03:50,628
at the next budget meeting.

1864
01:03:50,628 --> 01:03:51,362
Are you want know whatever you

1865
01:03:51,362 --> 01:03:51,930
sober up, Tobar, Spine board

1866
01:03:51,930 --> 01:03:53,298
NOVEMBER? I mean, I think I

1867
01:03:53,298 --> 01:03:56,835
think we should have it this

1868
01:03:56,835 --> 01:03:57,402
year in light of upcoming

1869
01:03:57,402 --> 01:03:59,802
legislative process. If you

1870
01:03:59,805 --> 01:04:00,939
give us an opportunity, I feel

1871
01:04:00,939 --> 01:04:01,573
NOVEMBER would not to delay.

1872
01:04:01,573 --> 01:04:02,274
How about this? Give will will

1873
01:04:02,274 --> 01:04:04,674
exhaust every effort to

1874
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:07,545
deliver it on OCTOBER. Ok,

1875
01:04:07,545 --> 01:04:08,480
first mats great. The last

1876
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:09,281
thing we're going to be

1877
01:04:09,281 --> 01:04:09,848
talking to water quality. The

1878
01:04:09,848 --> 01:04:12,251
next items will skip those

1879
01:04:12,251 --> 01:04:13,419
items and then the other

1880
01:04:13,419 --> 01:04:14,219
comments that we receive from

1881
01:04:14,219 --> 01:04:14,920
the public eye plan to follow

1882
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:19,120
up with an email and then we

1883
01:04:19,390 --> 01:04:20,392
can go from their offline ok,

1884
01:04:20,392 --> 01:04:21,126

1885
01:04:21,126 --> 01:04:21,794
more comments. Okay.

01:04:21,794 --> 01:04:22,361
Commissioner Castillo and then

1887
01:04:22,361 --> 01:04:24,761
Commissioner Haskell. Ok, I

01:04:49,210 --> 01:04:49,622

1897
01:04:49,622 --> 01:04:51,457
in school the way I was woken

1898
01:04:51,457 --> 01:04:53,393

1899
01:04:53,393 --> 01:04:55,828
And I want you to know that it

1900
01:04:55,828 --> 01:04:57,130
wasn't an easy thing to bring

1901
01:04:57,130 --> 01:05:00,730
it home. Likely voter at home.

1902
01:05:01,340 --> 01:05:04,634
But job low down again, out

1903
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:09,242
lobbyists brought home

01:05:09,242 --> 01:05:11,242

1906
01:05:12,646 --> 01:05:15,460
beautiful day. Thank you,

1907
01:05:16,816 --> 01:05:17,350
commissioner school. Thank

1908
01:05:17,350 --> 01:05:19,219
you. I want to bring the

1909
01:05:19,219 --> 01:05:21,388
conversation back to transit.

1910
01:05:21,388 --> 01:05:24,988
If you could pull that slide

1911
01:05:26,293 --> 01:05:28,995
back up and budget highlights.

1912
01:05:28,995 --> 01:05:29,963
So and maybe MISTER Manager,

1913
01:05:29,963 --> 01:05:32,666
you could ask Rogelio to come

1914
01:05:32,666 --> 01:05:33,266
back up to answer some.

1915
01:05:33,266 --> 01:05:34,660
>> MR. Commissioner Haskell.

1916
01:05:34,660 --> 01:05:37,666
We will do that season. Come

1917
01:05:37,938 --> 01:05:41,538
back So my question is about

1918
01:05:41,808 --> 01:05:42,276
right now about serving Staten

1919
01:05:42,276 --> 01:05:42,843
Island.

1920
01:05:42,843 --> 01:05:44,843
>> overview says services,

1921
01:05:45,946 --> 01:05:46,846
Stock Island at 2 stops about

1922
01:05:46,846 --> 01:05:50,446
on us. 1, 1, at 3rd Street and

1923
01:05:50,718 --> 01:05:51,751
one and Hurricane Hall. Can

1924
01:05:51,751 --> 01:05:54,151
you please explain? There's

1925
01:05:54,355 --> 01:05:55,756
there's 2 sides of Staten

1926
01:05:55,756 --> 01:05:57,825
Island. There's the city owns

1927
01:05:57,825 --> 01:05:59,792
the side with the college and

1928
01:05:59,792 --> 01:06:02,792
the hospital. Is there bus

1929
01:06:03,597 --> 01:06:04,164
service in this current island

1930
01:06:04,164 --> 01:06:06,564
hopper that's services that

1931
01:06:06,934 --> 01:06:09,690
side of Staten Island? Yes,

1932
01:06:09,690 --> 01:06:11,469
both directions. Ok? Every 45

1933
01:06:14,274 --> 01:06:15,386
minutes said is correct. Cable

1934
01:06:15,386 --> 01:06:15,843
or Keys Medical Center or

1935
01:06:15,843 --> 01:06:18,110
Garden be apartments there

1936
01:06:18,110 --> 01:06:18,246
along with the college. Okay.

1937
01:06:18,246 --> 01:06:18,813
Great.

1938
01:06:18,813 --> 01:06:21,813
>> The other side of Staten

1939
01:06:27,210 --> 01:06:27,622
Island is county owned county.

1940
01:06:27,622 --> 01:06:30,570
Didn't seem to be interested

1941
01:06:30,570 --> 01:06:32,590
supporting our bus service on

1942
01:06:32,590 --> 01:06:35,659
that side of the island. But

1943
01:06:37,300 --> 01:06:38,332
maybe change their minds do we

1944
01:06:38,332 --> 01:06:40,267
have in this island Hopper Do

1945
01:06:40,267 --> 01:06:42,103
we have any service that goes

1946
01:06:42,103 --> 01:06:42,737
into the county side of

1947
01:06:42,737 --> 01:06:44,439
stepped out of the sides. The

1948
01:06:44,439 --> 01:06:48,390
2 stops on us. One. No, we

1949
01:06:48,910 --> 01:06:52,510
okay. So let's let's get the

1950
01:06:53,381 --> 01:06:54,516
county that chip in some for

1951
01:06:54,516 --> 01:06:55,383
>> Commissioner they did say

1952
01:06:55,383 --> 01:06:55,984
they were going to revisit

1953
01:06:55,984 --> 01:06:59,584
that in there. I think their

1954
01:07:00,555 --> 01:07:02,457
DECEMBER meeting so we we can

1955
01:07:02,457 --> 01:07:03,725
talk to our elected officials

1956
01:07:03,725 --> 01:07:04,326
and we can encourage them. And

1957
01:07:04,326 --> 01:07:04,859
look this. I think that shows

1958
01:07:04,859 --> 01:07:07,162
good faith, right? We are

1959
01:07:07,162 --> 01:07:07,796
doing our part and I think

1960
01:07:07,796 --> 01:07:09,398
they're gonna want to do their

1961
01:07:09,398 --> 01:07:09,932
part. So I think it's all it's

1962
01:07:09,932 --> 01:07:12,932
all good, MR. Maher, MR.

1963
01:07:16,380 --> 01:07:16,772
Bennett. Commissioner has just

1964
01:07:16,772 --> 01:07:19,172
for awareness. We've provided

1965
01:07:21,176 --> 01:07:22,110
them

1966
01:07:22,110 --> 01:07:24,510
>> cost analysis of additional

1967
01:07:25,214 --> 01:07:25,848
stops. If we add x, y and z,

1968
01:07:25,848 --> 01:07:29,351
we believe this is what we had

1969
01:07:29,351 --> 01:07:29,985
some empirical data of this is

1970
01:07:29,985 --> 01:07:30,586
what we believe it would cause

1971
01:07:30,586 --> 01:07:33,255
additional. So it's not that

1972
01:07:33,255 --> 01:07:36,124
we just gave the counties some

1973
01:07:36,124 --> 01:07:36,692
number arbitrarily we we

1974
01:07:36,692 --> 01:07:39,692
Rogelio and Rod really dug

1975
01:07:40,296 --> 01:07:40,863
deep to say, ok, we'll if this

1976
01:07:40,863 --> 01:07:43,263
is the additional locations

1977
01:07:43,399 --> 01:07:44,166
you would like for us to

1978
01:07:44,166 --> 01:07:46,435
service. This is the dollar

1979
01:07:46,435 --> 01:07:47,970
amount that that would be

1980
01:07:47,970 --> 01:07:48,938
equivalent to. I want to be

1981
01:07:48,938 --> 01:07:51,307
very clear if you give us

1982
01:07:51,307 --> 01:07:54,907
direction, too, at a stops, we

1983
01:07:55,278 --> 01:07:56,511
believe our team will do that

1984
01:07:56,511 --> 01:07:57,112
and we'll do everything will

1985
01:07:57,112 --> 01:07:59,682
endeavor to do everything we

1986
01:07:59,682 --> 01:08:00,316
can to support that.

1987
01:08:00,316 --> 01:08:03,916
>> Thank you. Okay. I think we

1988
01:08:04,887 --> 01:08:07,924
are ready for a vote. Okay.

1989
01:08:07,924 --> 01:08:08,491
MADAM I'm sorry. Okay.

1990
01:08:08,491 --> 01:08:09,124
Commissioner Carey, I just

1991
01:08:09,124 --> 01:08:12,562
want to make one one more

1992
01:08:12,562 --> 01:08:13,395
comment we should be very

1993
01:08:13,395 --> 01:08:14,464
cautious when we get e-mails

1994
01:08:14,464 --> 01:08:17,464
for requests for money because

1995
01:08:18,834 --> 01:08:19,836
>> the U.S. Junior Football

1996
01:08:19,836 --> 01:08:21,204
League did reach out just now.

1997
01:08:21,204 --> 01:08:21,805
And that request was not from

1998
01:08:21,805 --> 01:08:24,205
door of representatives from

1999
01:08:24,574 --> 01:08:26,909
their peak. They will get with

2000
01:08:26,909 --> 01:08:31,109
you. But we just have to be

2001
01:08:31,113 --> 01:08:31,815
careful like I know it. Looks

2002
01:08:31,815 --> 01:08:32,416
and feels and sounds like it

2003
01:08:32,416 --> 01:08:34,518
might be coming from the use

2004
01:08:34,518 --> 01:08:38,718
leaks, but it's not. So I just

2005
01:08:43,193 --> 01:08:43,392
wanted to make that comment.

2006
01:08:43,392 --> 01:08:43,960
We'll

2007
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:45,629
>> At MADAM Clerk, can you

2008
01:08:45,629 --> 01:08:46,263

2009
01:08:46,263 --> 01:08:49,766

01:09:49,260 --> 01:09:52,260
very excited about it. This

2046
01:09:53,431 --> 01:09:55,831
was a very energizing

2047
01:09:56,101 --> 01:09:59,101
conversation that we had at

2048
01:09:59,103 --> 01:10:00,238
the last see, thank you so

2049
01:10:00,238 --> 01:10:02,340
much for bringing this forward

2050
01:10:02,340 --> 01:10:03,508
in getting this ball rolling.

2051
01:10:03,508 --> 01:10:04,740
i think all of the residents

2052
01:10:04,740 --> 01:10:04,675
of Key West, thank you. So

2053
01:10:04,675 --> 01:10:07,145
many people have been waiting

2054
01:10:07,145 --> 01:10:08,179
for this for such a long time.

2055
01:10:08,179 --> 01:10:11,779
And I think this really gives

2056
01:10:13,251 --> 01:10:15,220
us a chance. 2, you know,

2057
01:10:15,220 --> 01:10:16,822
really look at what's

2058
01:10:16,822 --> 01:10:19,124
happening in the harbor. You

2059
01:10:19,124 --> 01:10:20,225
know, if if the cruise ships

2060
01:10:20,225 --> 01:10:21,860
are making our coral stronger,

2061
01:10:21,860 --> 01:10:22,461
this will show us that. And

2062
01:10:22,461 --> 01:10:26,610
they you know this. So the

2063
01:10:26,397 --> 01:10:26,932
monitoring is very exciting.

2064
01:10:26,932 --> 01:10:29,932
>> Our low and then will

2065
01:10:30,302 --> 01:10:30,936
Benson.

2066
01:10:30,936 --> 01:10:33,336
>> Mayor commissioners are low

2067
01:10:34,106 --> 01:10:35,774
Haskell 7.16, love Lane. Yes,

2068
01:10:35,774 --> 01:10:36,875
I also want to say thank you,

2069
01:10:36,875 --> 01:10:40,446
See, this is just a great,

2070
01:10:40,446 --> 01:10:41,130
great piece of work. Great to

2071
01:10:41,130 --> 01:10:43,413
hear the conversation last

2072
01:10:44,349 --> 01:10:44,883
week really happy with some

2073
01:10:44,883 --> 01:10:46,318
seeing this to, you know,

2074
01:10:46,318 --> 01:10:47,752
direction. I stood up here at

2075
01:10:47,752 --> 01:10:48,688
the last meeting. You know, I

2076
01:10:48,688 --> 01:10:49,888
said something to the effect

2077
01:10:49,888 --> 01:10:50,489
of, you know, first, let's fix

2078
01:10:50,489 --> 01:10:53,992
what was what was broken. And

2079
01:10:53,992 --> 01:10:54,593
I think this is a just a great

2080
01:10:54,593 --> 01:10:55,294
step to repair. You know what

2081
01:10:55,294 --> 01:10:55,861
we lost in terms of water,

2082
01:10:55,861 --> 01:10:58,261
quality monitoring over the

2083
01:11:00,533 --> 01:11:01,167
last couple of years. So just,

2084
01:11:01,167 --> 01:11:01,834
you know, hats off to you. And

2085
01:11:01,834 --> 01:11:04,834
I also really enjoyed that

2086
01:11:05,437 --> 01:11:06,380
that discussion. So, you know,

2087
01:11:06,380 --> 01:11:08,741
that's that's number one. And

2088
01:11:08,741 --> 01:11:09,642
then next steps. And it's

2089
01:11:09,642 --> 01:11:11,177
it's, you know, discuss it

2090
01:11:11,177 --> 01:11:13,212
last time. And I know staff is

2091
01:11:13,212 --> 01:11:15,810
looking at expanding that

2092
01:11:15,810 --> 01:11:17,481
testing to look scrubber

2093
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:20,752
wastewater discharges. Great

2094
01:11:20,752 --> 01:11:21,821
water ballast tank So I

2095
01:11:21,821 --> 01:11:24,821
recognize that that's a that's

2096
01:11:25,925 --> 01:11:27,560
a, you former monitoring

2097
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:28,828
that's for the experts. We

2098
01:11:28,828 --> 01:11:29,929
know that we had worked for

2099
01:11:29,929 --> 01:11:31,731
certain parameters and will

2100
01:11:31,731 --> 01:11:32,232
get with the experts. You all

2101
01:11:32,232 --> 01:11:32,798
staff will get with the

2102
01:11:32,798 --> 01:11:35,568
experts to figure out what

2103
01:11:35,568 --> 01:11:36,136
works for those other

2104
01:11:36,136 --> 01:11:38,536
substances. You know, I'll

2105
01:11:39,373 --> 01:11:42,740
just point out that those

2106
01:11:42,740 --> 01:11:44,474
things a scrubber wastewater

2107
01:11:46,313 --> 01:11:47,470
grant water ballast federally

2108
01:11:47,470 --> 01:11:49,447
regulated as discharges for

2109
01:11:50,617 --> 01:11:51,251
ocean going vessels, vessels.

2110
01:11:51,251 --> 01:11:53,153
They're all addressed in title

2111
01:11:53,153 --> 01:11:55,289
40 of the federal code. Part

2112
01:11:55,289 --> 01:11:56,389
one. 39. So I think part of

2113
01:11:56,389 --> 01:11:57,925
what monitoring program will

2114
01:11:57,925 --> 01:11:58,592
do will help us establish, you

2115
01:11:58,592 --> 01:12:01,762
know, whether or not a large

2116
01:12:01,762 --> 01:12:03,300
vessels are in compliance with

2117
01:12:03,300 --> 01:12:03,764
federal law and, you know,

2118
01:12:03,764 --> 01:12:07,364
defer to the scientists as far

2119
01:12:07,801 --> 01:12:10,838
as how to how to test for

2120
01:12:10,838 --> 01:12:11,806
that. The other thing I would

2121
01:12:11,806 --> 01:12:13,307
say given in particular that

2122
01:12:13,307 --> 01:12:15,543
that direction is so clear to

2123
01:12:15,543 --> 01:12:16,977
kind of replace what had been

2124
01:12:16,977 --> 01:12:17,611
there before. I think this

2125
01:12:17,611 --> 01:12:20,611
could be a great opportunity

2126
01:12:22,830 --> 01:12:25,520
for the city to reach back out

2127
01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:26,253
to the college to see if they

2128
01:12:26,253 --> 01:12:26,954
have no advice from from their

2129
01:12:26,954 --> 01:12:27,588
experience with that material,

2130
01:12:27,588 --> 01:12:28,550
whether it's just about

2131
01:12:28,550 --> 01:12:30,550
getting the equipment

2132
01:12:31,492 --> 01:12:32,159
purchase, right? Or

2133
01:12:32,159 --> 01:12:32,794
installation tricks of the

2134
01:12:32,794 --> 01:12:34,429
trade, you know that that kind

2135
01:12:34,429 --> 01:12:37,980
of thing that they would know.

2136
01:12:37,980 --> 01:12:38,699
I think the city I mean, the

2137
01:12:38,699 --> 01:12:41,699
the citizens, the people of

2138
01:12:43,471 --> 01:12:44,405
the city saw a lot you know,

2139
01:12:44,405 --> 01:12:45,306
sort of heated moments between

2140
01:12:45,306 --> 01:12:45,840
the city of Key West and the

2141
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:47,242
college. And I think this

2142
01:12:47,242 --> 01:12:49,510
would be a great opportunity

2143
01:12:49,510 --> 01:12:50,578
to to show the community that,

2144
01:12:50,578 --> 01:12:51,846
you know, the city and the

2145
01:12:51,846 --> 01:12:53,414
college still are wonderful

2146
01:12:53,414 --> 01:12:55,650
partners and work together on

2147
01:12:55,650 --> 01:12:56,250
think so. You know, I haven't

2148
01:12:56,250 --> 01:12:56,851
haven't talked to them, but I

2149
01:12:56,851 --> 01:12:57,419
would imagine they would have

2150
01:12:57,419 --> 01:13:00,121
something to offer. I don't

2151
01:13:00,121 --> 01:13:01,256
relish invitation to to be an

2152
01:13:01,256 --> 01:13:04,256
adviser on this on this

2153
01:13:05,293 --> 01:13:06,428
project. That's Thank you. Rj

2154
01:13:06,428 --> 01:13:06,962
to support this resolution.

2155
01:13:06,962 --> 01:13:07,528
Thank you, Commissioner,

2156
01:13:07,528 --> 01:13:09,731
Aussie for for bringing it

2157
01:13:09,731 --> 01:13:11,731
forward.

2158
01:13:13,769 --> 01:13:16,769
>> Will and then Bart Smith.

2159
01:13:17,939 --> 01:13:18,573
>> Good evening, MISTER. Mayor

2160
01:13:18,573 --> 01:13:20,973
Commissioners. Well, Benson, I

2161
01:13:21,430 --> 01:13:22,244
run a charter fishing service

2162
01:13:22,244 --> 01:13:22,778
out of city marina over there.

2163
01:13:22,778 --> 01:13:25,778
One of our small business

2164
01:13:25,914 --> 01:13:26,548
owners here in Key West. Is

2165
01:13:26,548 --> 01:13:27,114
this kind of striking to me

2166
01:13:27,114 --> 01:13:29,514
tonight, looking over that

2167
01:13:32,870 --> 01:13:34,870
budget. As 332 million

2168
01:13:34,155 --> 01:13:35,290
dollars. That's a huge budget.

2169
01:13:35,290 --> 01:13:38,294
For the city of Key West.

2170
01:13:38,294 --> 01:13:38,827
There's a lot that we are

2171
01:13:38,827 --> 01:13:41,227
responsible for here. You

2172
01:13:42,831 --> 01:13:43,432
guys. Our response. One of my

2173
01:13:43,432 --> 01:13:45,267
dad. Great job. By the way to

2174
01:13:45,267 --> 01:13:48,300
the team that put that

2175
01:13:48,300 --> 01:13:48,838
together. It's a really

2176
01:13:48,838 --> 01:13:49,405
important thing. It's a really

2177
01:13:49,405 --> 01:13:51,207
important, you know, thing

2178
01:13:51,207 --> 01:13:53,410
that we're running here and it

2179
01:13:53,410 --> 01:13:55,578
just kind of struck me a

2180
01:13:55,578 --> 01:13:57,446
little bit. You know that our

2181
01:13:57,446 --> 01:13:59,446
businesses, our property

2182
01:13:59,549 --> 01:14:00,182
owners, you know, all the

2183
01:14:00,182 --> 01:14:03,850
people that have interest here

2184
01:14:03,850 --> 01:14:04,200
in the city of Key West. It's

2185
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:05,520
really valuable as we can see

2186
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:08,424
reflected by that budget. And

2187
01:14:08,424 --> 01:14:09,525
I would argue that, you know,

2188
01:14:09,525 --> 01:14:10,159
the thing that and you've

2189
01:14:10,159 --> 01:14:13,620
heard me say this before, that

2190
01:14:13,620 --> 01:14:13,629
makes it special is the water

2191
01:14:13,629 --> 01:14:15,597
that surround us. It's this

2192
01:14:15,597 --> 01:14:16,832
unique environment that we

2193
01:14:16,832 --> 01:14:18,434
live in. When visitors come

2194
01:14:18,434 --> 01:14:19,903
here, they want activities to

2195
01:14:19,903 --> 01:14:20,870
do. You know, they want to be

2196
01:14:20,870 --> 01:14:22,437
able to go out and I would say

2197
01:14:22,437 --> 01:14:23,639
more and more as we look into

2198
01:14:23,639 --> 01:14:26,442
the future, making sure that

2199
01:14:26,442 --> 01:14:26,909
that part of our economy is

2200
01:14:26,909 --> 01:14:29,309
strong and vibrant is

2201
01:14:34,584 --> 01:14:35,185
paramount. I really appreciate

2202
01:14:35,185 --> 01:14:37,454
see you saying that you want

2203
01:14:37,454 --> 01:14:38,721
to know what's going on? I do

2204
01:14:38,721 --> 01:14:39,522
because I think that that

2205
01:14:39,522 --> 01:14:40,457
you're going to run a

2206
01:14:40,457 --> 01:14:41,570
business. You're going to run

2207
01:14:41,570 --> 01:14:42,859
the city Qs. You're going to

2208
01:14:42,859 --> 01:14:43,459
have this big budget

2209
01:14:43,459 --> 01:14:45,859
understanding what's going on

2210
01:14:46,663 --> 01:14:47,264
in these waters is really

2211
01:14:47,264 --> 01:14:47,931
important. And yes, it's down

2212
01:14:47,931 --> 01:14:50,901
there in the harbor, but it's

2213
01:14:50,901 --> 01:14:51,501
also down on the beach. It's

2214
01:14:51,501 --> 01:14:53,803
also out by the trash and in

2215
01:14:53,803 --> 01:14:55,205
the sailboat fields. There's a

2216
01:14:55,205 --> 01:14:57,140
lot of issues and I would

2217
01:14:57,140 --> 01:14:57,741
argue that it is the single

2218
01:14:57,741 --> 01:15:00,741
most important thing that we

2219
01:15:01,211 --> 01:15:03,747
pay attention to. Just want to

2220
01:15:03,747 --> 01:15:05,315
say thank you for And if we're

2221
01:15:05,315 --> 01:15:05,916
talking about losing water

2222
01:15:05,916 --> 01:15:06,450
quality, whatever happened in

2223
01:15:06,450 --> 01:15:09,419
the bat, you know, in the

2224
01:15:09,419 --> 01:15:10,254
past. Here's the opportunity

2225
01:15:10,254 --> 01:15:12,289
to rebuild trust with the

2226
01:15:12,289 --> 01:15:13,957
public right here tonight. You

2227
01:15:13,957 --> 01:15:16,860
have a resolution in front of

2228
01:15:16,860 --> 01:15:18,729
you, you can vote for and we

2229
01:15:18,729 --> 01:15:20,230
can. We can move forward with

2230
01:15:20,230 --> 01:15:22,230
clarity with scientific

2231
01:15:23,500 --> 01:15:24,101
certainty and we can make

2232
01:15:24,101 --> 01:15:26,971
great decisions on a really,

2233
01:15:26,971 --> 01:15:27,571
really important issue here in

2234
01:15:27,571 --> 01:15:29,273
the city. That is, as I would

2235
01:15:29,273 --> 01:15:31,375
argue, underpins all of this.

2236
01:15:31,375 --> 01:15:33,770
And it is a huge, huge deal

2237
01:15:33,770 --> 01:15:35,379
that struck me tonight. And I

2238
01:15:35,379 --> 01:15:35,980
think doing this, it's going

2239
01:15:35,980 --> 01:15:40,180
to be a great idea. Thank you

2240
01:15:44,255 --> 01:15:44,856
guys. That's good evening.

2241
01:15:44,856 --> 01:15:47,425
Bart Smith and a half Pierre

2242
01:15:47,425 --> 01:15:49,425
be.

2243
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:51,129
>> First, we support water,

2244
01:15:51,129 --> 01:15:51,863
quality monitoring that is

2245
01:15:51,863 --> 01:15:53,863
scientifically based reviewed

2246
01:15:55,799 --> 01:15:58,199
and approved by professionals.

2247
01:15:58,569 --> 01:15:59,871
We do not support to and must

2248
01:15:59,871 --> 01:16:01,500
reiterate is the patently

2249
01:16:01,500 --> 01:16:03,808
false statements being made by

2250
01:16:03,808 --> 01:16:04,609
representatives of safer,

2251
01:16:04,609 --> 01:16:05,142
cleaner ships regarding

2252
01:16:05,142 --> 01:16:07,142
temporary turbidity from

2253
01:16:09,140 --> 01:16:09,981
cruise ship Prop wash and the

2254
01:16:09,981 --> 01:16:10,749
claim that there was 35

2255
01:16:10,749 --> 01:16:11,316
violations of state and

2256
01:16:11,316 --> 01:16:13,316
federal water quality

2257
01:16:13,651 --> 01:16:16,651
standards operating at Pier b.

2258
01:16:17,889 --> 01:16:18,824
These statements are untrue.

2259
01:16:18,824 --> 01:16:19,691
Here. Turning to them you. The

2260
01:16:19,691 --> 01:16:21,493
prop is not a violation of

2261
01:16:21,493 --> 01:16:22,760
state and federal water

2262
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:25,160
quality. Your former interim

2263
01:16:25,496 --> 01:16:26,731
city manager Todd Stone

2264
01:16:26,731 --> 01:16:27,332
confirm with the Coast Guard

2265
01:16:27,332 --> 01:16:29,332
which enforces environmental

2266
01:16:31,636 --> 01:16:32,270
protection. The prop was for

2267
01:16:32,270 --> 01:16:32,871
many vessels, not a violation.

2268
01:16:32,871 --> 01:16:35,271
State, federal water, quality

2269
01:16:36,708 --> 01:16:37,843
standards. These false

2270
01:16:37,843 --> 01:16:39,770
allegations of violations of

2271
01:16:39,770 --> 01:16:40,312
water, quality standards are

2272
01:16:40,312 --> 01:16:40,913
made by advocates trying to

2273
01:16:40,913 --> 01:16:43,313
eliminate cruise ship tourism

2274
01:16:44,883 --> 01:16:47,860
at any cost. These false

2275
01:16:47,860 --> 01:16:49,520
claims which are pushed out

2276
01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:50,155
e-mails and articles hurt the

2277
01:16:50,155 --> 01:16:50,790
city's reputation as they

2278
01:16:50,790 --> 01:16:53,826
claim nothing is being done by

2279
01:16:53,826 --> 01:16:57,426
the city. It is a disservice

2280
01:16:58,164 --> 01:16:59,640
to the community. Ask in the

2281
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:01,267
future when someone stands up

2282
01:17:01,267 --> 01:17:01,934
and falsely claims are

2283
01:17:01,934 --> 01:17:02,468
violations that staff corrects

2284
01:17:02,468 --> 01:17:04,868
these false statements of

2285
01:17:04,904 --> 01:17:07,904
violations at Kirby. If you're

2286
01:17:09,742 --> 01:17:10,209
going to buy equipment. For

2287
01:17:10,209 --> 01:17:11,978
continuous real-time,

2288
01:17:11,978 --> 01:17:12,578
monitoring of water, quality.

2289
01:17:12,578 --> 01:17:14,978
Confirmed word is appropriate

2290
01:17:15,448 --> 01:17:17,583
to locate it by comprehensive

2291
01:17:17,583 --> 01:17:18,884
water quality plan prepared by

2292
01:17:18,884 --> 01:17:21,284
independent expert group in

2293
01:17:23,389 --> 01:17:23,889
peer reviewed. And gauging

2294
01:17:23,889 --> 01:17:24,490
professionals and your

2295
01:17:24,490 --> 01:17:26,890
professional right now stand

2296
01:17:29,362 --> 01:17:31,970
tech. To not to not simply

2297
01:17:31,970 --> 01:17:32,164
arbitrarily place it in one

2298
01:17:32,164 --> 01:17:33,165
spot is the appropriate way to

2299
01:17:33,165 --> 01:17:36,165
determine where to place this

2300
01:17:37,470 --> 01:17:39,372
equipment. To just throw it in

2301
01:17:39,372 --> 01:17:41,274
front of a bolt or a service

2302
01:17:41,274 --> 01:17:41,675
cruise ship is not a

2303
01:17:41,675 --> 01:17:42,208
comprehensive and

2304
01:17:42,208 --> 01:17:44,208
scientifically objective

2305
01:17:44,811 --> 01:17:45,946
assessment of water quality.

2306
01:17:45,946 --> 01:17:46,947
There are beaches where

2307
01:17:46,947 --> 01:17:49,150
children swim that you not

2308
01:17:49,150 --> 01:17:50,650
have constant monitoring.

2309
01:17:50,650 --> 01:17:51,251
There are these areas were

2310
01:17:51,251 --> 01:17:53,487
level boards are that are at

2311
01:17:53,487 --> 01:17:54,870
that do not have consomme are.

2312
01:17:54,870 --> 01:17:57,870
Maybe there are better places

2313
01:17:57,123 --> 01:18:00,123
for such an expenditure. And

2314
01:18:02,663 --> 01:18:03,830
mayor. Great bringing it back

2315
01:18:03,830 --> 01:18:04,464
to the commission, a

2316
01:18:04,464 --> 01:18:05,365
commission Rossi. This is your

2317
01:18:05,365 --> 01:18:08,365
item to going introduce it.

2318
01:18:08,535 --> 01:18:09,837
>> Yeah, I'm ready to they're

2319
01:18:09,837 --> 01:18:13,437
do sit. We've heard from both

2320
01:18:14,374 --> 01:18:14,942
sides tonight here. Right?

2321
01:18:14,942 --> 01:18:17,942
Who's wrong? We're going to

2322
01:18:18,178 --> 01:18:19,413
find out. Stand tax, going to

2323
01:18:19,413 --> 01:18:22,383
come in and they're going to

2324
01:18:22,383 --> 01:18:23,717
monitor not only the harbor.

2325
01:18:23,717 --> 01:18:26,717
But also been trashmore area.

2326
01:18:28,289 --> 01:18:28,956
And that area over city

2327
01:18:28,956 --> 01:18:31,920
beaches. So we all know

2328
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:34,920
exactly what's going on here.

2329
01:18:34,361 --> 01:18:37,361
The most important thing is

2330
01:18:39,165 --> 01:18:41,201
that have do it logical way.

2331
01:18:41,201 --> 01:18:41,801
And that means that we're not

2332
01:18:41,801 --> 01:18:44,104
after a storm because we know

2333
01:18:44,104 --> 01:18:44,705
what happens there. And also I

2334
01:18:44,705 --> 01:18:48,305
want it done in garrison. But

2335
01:18:48,642 --> 01:18:50,278
so, you know, all right. And

2336
01:18:50,278 --> 01:18:53,878
will you have a good outcome?

2337
01:18:54,282 --> 01:18:55,183
Yes, sir. You have fit. You

2338
01:18:55,183 --> 01:18:57,170
You have a very good point.

2339
01:18:57,170 --> 01:18:59,254
But you made I want you to

2340
01:18:59,254 --> 01:19:00,870
know that and I too want to

2341
01:19:00,870 --> 01:19:03,687
make sure that we first keep

2342
01:19:03,858 --> 01:19:06,427
our pristine waters for the

2343
01:19:06,427 --> 01:19:07,280
future for children. Okay.

2344
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:10,628
Doing this, we're going to do

2345
01:19:11,990 --> 01:19:14,336
that. But we have to make sure

2346
01:19:14,336 --> 01:19:16,538
won't sign. Saying does is but

2347
01:19:16,538 --> 01:19:17,720
were, you know, there's per

2348
01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:19,340
that's in there and that

2349
01:19:19,340 --> 01:19:21,740
arbery moving fast. Summit

2350
01:19:22,978 --> 01:19:23,945
even down there the bout

2351
01:19:23,945 --> 01:19:26,345
thrusters, what they call

2352
01:19:28,116 --> 01:19:28,682
fans. Okay. We'll see what's

2353
01:19:28,682 --> 01:19:31,682
going to happen down there.

2354
01:19:31,987 --> 01:19:32,587
You might be surprised. Okay.

2355
01:19:32,587 --> 01:19:34,156
Oscar ballots covers that you

2356
01:19:34,156 --> 01:19:37,156
were talking about covers that

2357
01:19:37,859 --> 01:19:39,761
I would be shocked. It's

2358
01:19:39,761 --> 01:19:42,970
cruise ships were bumping gray

2359
01:19:42,970 --> 01:19:43,799
water and they're scrubber

2360
01:19:43,799 --> 01:19:46,799
water. They're to be honest

2361
01:19:47,602 --> 01:19:48,403
with you. I just don't see it.

2362
01:19:48,403 --> 01:19:52,300
So these this sign that what

2363
01:19:52,410 --> 01:19:53,420
we're doing here is going

2364
01:19:53,420 --> 01:19:53,641
do-everything guys and I want

2365
01:19:53,641 --> 01:19:56,641
to move for approval. Second

2366
01:19:57,746 --> 01:19:59,849
dose. Okay. We have a motion

2367
01:19:59,849 --> 01:20:00,448
to approve Commissioner Rossi

2368
01:20:00,448 --> 01:20:02,848
and second from Commissioner

2369
01:20:03,185 --> 01:20:03,485
Castillo are going to continue

2370
01:20:03,485 --> 01:20:04,530
discussion.

2371
01:20:04,530 --> 01:20:06,922
>> MR. Manager, want to say

2372
01:20:06,922 --> 01:20:08,791
something. MISTER Mayor

2373
01:20:08,791 --> 01:20:09,724
Commissions, I believe it's

2374
01:20:09,724 --> 01:20:10,259
appropriate that during this

2375
01:20:10,259 --> 01:20:13,259
time to bring up Allison

2376
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:15,464
Allison. Would you be able to

2377
01:20:15,464 --> 01:20:17,199
give us an update? I didn't

2378
01:20:17,199 --> 01:20:17,966
believe that. We said last

2379
01:20:17,966 --> 01:20:20,966
meeting we didn't need a

2380
01:20:22,138 --> 01:20:23,339
resolution to move forward. So

2381
01:20:23,339 --> 01:20:25,141
before we take a vote on this

2382
01:20:25,141 --> 01:20:26,275
resolution. Allison One, thank

2383
01:20:26,275 --> 01:20:26,976
you for all the hard work

2384
01:20:26,976 --> 01:20:27,510
into. Could you update with

2385
01:20:27,510 --> 01:20:29,910
the team has accomplished

2386
01:20:31,114 --> 01:20:32,215
since the last meeting?

2387
01:20:32,215 --> 01:20:34,170
>> I am very excited to say

2388
01:20:34,170 --> 01:20:34,550
Not only did we find

2389
01:20:34,550 --> 01:20:36,550
appropriate equipment, we

2390
01:20:37,654 --> 01:20:40,824
found it almost have to price

2391
01:20:40,824 --> 01:20:41,858
It can be in in a month. It

2392
01:20:41,858 --> 01:20:44,858
can be deployed quicker and

2393
01:20:45,995 --> 01:20:46,596
it's easier to maintain. So

2394
01:20:46,596 --> 01:20:48,899
the great and the great part

2395
01:20:48,899 --> 01:20:50,199
of that is it now comes in

2396
01:20:50,199 --> 01:20:50,834
just under $25,000 which means

2397
01:20:50,834 --> 01:20:53,834
only needed the 2 quotes which

2398
01:20:54,700 --> 01:20:57,140
we've got. So it got ordered

2399
01:20:57,140 --> 01:20:57,674
good job.

2400
01:20:57,674 --> 01:20:59,674
>> Priority those reading

2401
01:21:01,912 --> 01:21:03,912
years. Look.

2402
01:21:04,881 --> 01:21:06,183
>> one other thing, though,

2403
01:21:06,183 --> 01:21:06,950
just could the information I

2404
01:21:06,950 --> 01:21:10,550
have is we will need another

2405
01:21:10,721 --> 01:21:11,221
resolution in OCTOBER, though,

2406
01:21:11,221 --> 01:21:11,655
and that is that is not

2407
01:21:11,655 --> 01:21:12,288
correct. Can we get

2408
01:21:12,288 --> 01:21:13,890
information about that from

2409
01:21:13,890 --> 01:21:16,890
our legal department or so

2410
01:21:16,526 --> 01:21:18,362
that? The full commission can

2411
01:21:18,362 --> 01:21:20,297
have the full discussion about

2412
01:21:20,297 --> 01:21:22,399
what the next steps Not just

2413
01:21:22,399 --> 01:21:24,799
MR. Maher with discretion.

2414
01:21:25,369 --> 01:21:25,936
Also want to make sure that we

2415
01:21:25,936 --> 01:21:28,936
start all this, that we're

2416
01:21:30,174 --> 01:21:32,743
doing it in over by Mount

2417
01:21:32,743 --> 01:21:33,310
Trashmore over on city

2418
01:21:33,310 --> 01:21:35,710
beaches. Okay. Higgs Beach

2419
01:21:37,314 --> 01:21:37,882
sheriff spotted speech Dog via

2420
01:21:37,882 --> 01:21:40,684
the reach. That's good for

2421
01:21:40,684 --> 01:21:44,284
Taylor. You know, let's get a

2422
01:21:44,287 --> 01:21:44,922
good idea of where words that

2423
01:21:44,922 --> 01:21:49,122
your son, but it is. I'm going

2424
01:21:49,694 --> 01:21:51,829
with imminent. So 100% agree

2425
01:21:51,829 --> 01:21:52,964
with you, but we need money

2426
01:21:52,964 --> 01:21:53,898
for that. We have to add that

2427
01:21:53,898 --> 01:21:54,532
to our legislative agenda

2428
01:21:54,532 --> 01:21:55,133
because we don't have the

2429
01:21:55,133 --> 01:21:56,834
money in this budget for all

2430
01:21:56,834 --> 01:21:58,834
of that.

2431
01:21:59,704 --> 01:22:00,271
>> That means a comeback

2432
01:22:00,271 --> 01:22:02,740
probably as part of what we

2433
01:22:02,740 --> 01:22:03,708
hear in OCTOBER. But in any

2434
01:22:03,708 --> 01:22:04,509
case, I think we first have to

2435
01:22:04,509 --> 01:22:07,110
hear from the legal department

2436
01:22:07,110 --> 01:22:07,679
about what the next steps are

2437
01:22:07,679 --> 01:22:08,279
so that we can really

2438
01:22:08,279 --> 01:22:10,140
understand how we're going to

2439
01:22:10,140 --> 01:22:12,140
implement this equipment.

2440
01:22:14,850 --> 01:22:14,685
>> MR. Mayor commissioners,

2441
01:22:14,685 --> 01:22:15,285
yes. So specifically this is

2442
01:22:15,285 --> 01:22:16,887
just for funding. And as the

2443
01:22:16,887 --> 01:22:18,423
city manager said, it could

2444
01:22:18,423 --> 01:22:20,124
have been done through his

2445
01:22:20,124 --> 01:22:20,691
authority. This just left

2446
01:22:20,691 --> 01:22:23,691
direction to make sure that

2447
01:22:24,829 --> 01:22:25,430
was followed through on. But

2448
01:22:25,430 --> 01:22:26,640
that's clearly in the process

2449
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:28,967
of being procured and Earp was

2450
01:22:28,967 --> 01:22:30,435
pick. You're done being sent.

2451
01:22:30,435 --> 01:22:31,360
So ultimately the concerns

2452
01:22:31,360 --> 01:22:33,371
from the legal department is

2453
01:22:33,371 --> 01:22:35,274
just to make sure whether it

2454
01:22:35,274 --> 01:22:35,907
would be stantec or another

2455
01:22:35,907 --> 01:22:36,508
company, whether we have to go

2456
01:22:36,508 --> 01:22:38,710
back out to our fee just for

2457
01:22:38,710 --> 01:22:40,612
the continuous monitoring

2458
01:22:40,612 --> 01:22:42,446
excuse me, this concern would

2459
01:22:42,446 --> 01:22:43,882
just be to make sure that the

2460
01:22:43,882 --> 01:22:45,951
scope of the original rfp

2461
01:22:45,951 --> 01:22:46,652
accounted for potential

2462
01:22:46,652 --> 01:22:48,587
continuous monitoring. So the

2463
01:22:48,587 --> 01:22:50,589
legal department is reviewing

2464
01:22:50,589 --> 01:22:51,190
that now that however,

2465
01:22:51,190 --> 01:22:51,790
something will pre presented

2466
01:22:51,790 --> 01:22:52,357
to the commission in OCTOBER

2467
01:22:52,357 --> 01:22:55,294
on how to move forward with

2468
01:22:55,294 --> 01:22:55,928
that.

2469
01:22:55,928 --> 01:22:59,528
>> Ok, thank you want get back

2470
01:22:59,665 --> 01:23:00,232
to See so I think we also said

2471
01:23:00,232 --> 01:23:02,434
at the last meeting that we

2472
01:23:02,434 --> 01:23:05,404
wanted to get a break down on

2473
01:23:05,404 --> 01:23:07,439
the costs for the additional

2474
01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:08,140
monitoring. So Mount

2475
01:23:08,140 --> 01:23:08,741
Trashmore, the encouraged the

2476
01:23:08,741 --> 01:23:10,176
beaches, even though we don't

2477
01:23:10,176 --> 01:23:13,776
have that in our budget. We

2478
01:23:14,146 --> 01:23:16,448
want to know, you know. So

2479
01:23:16,448 --> 01:23:17,516
when we do go to Tallahassee

2480
01:23:17,516 --> 01:23:20,119
or wherever to ask for more

2481
01:23:20,119 --> 01:23:20,853
money because we want to know

2482
01:23:20,853 --> 01:23:22,822
what the what the current

2483
01:23:22,822 --> 01:23:23,422
budget will, how far that will

2484
01:23:23,422 --> 01:23:27,622
take us and then how we, you

2485
01:23:28,494 --> 01:23:29,610
know, we can go further if we

2486
01:23:29,610 --> 01:23:31,461
can get additional funding

2487
01:23:31,898 --> 01:23:32,598
because in my opinion, this

2488
01:23:32,598 --> 01:23:34,400
should be something that we

2489
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:36,800
focus on our legislative

2490
01:23:37,369 --> 01:23:39,769
agenda. It's Listen. When

2491
01:23:40,473 --> 01:23:41,708
people hear negative things

2492
01:23:41,708 --> 01:23:43,109
about the water in the keys,

2493
01:23:43,109 --> 01:23:43,709
that just doesn't hurt

2494
01:23:43,709 --> 01:23:46,346
tourism. Here. It hurts. All

2495
01:23:46,346 --> 01:23:48,348
of Florida tourism. Everybody

2496
01:23:48,348 --> 01:23:51,348
has understand that right? Is

2497
01:23:52,519 --> 01:23:53,119
everybody understand that. We

2498
01:23:53,119 --> 01:23:56,719
will. We need to protect our

2499
01:23:57,290 --> 01:23:57,857
water, but that the the state

2500
01:23:57,857 --> 01:23:58,825
legislature should have an

2501
01:23:58,825 --> 01:24:00,160
interest in protecting the

2502
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:00,994
water, Florida and the Florida

2503
01:24:00,994 --> 01:24:03,994
Keys to protect tourism and

2504
01:24:04,598 --> 01:24:05,232
everything. So I so I think

2505
01:24:05,232 --> 01:24:05,799
we're going we're going to get

2506
01:24:05,799 --> 01:24:09,336
that in I am I right about

2507
01:24:09,336 --> 01:24:09,903
that. MR. Maher Commission,

2508
01:24:09,903 --> 01:24:12,539
you gave us direction to do

2509
01:24:12,539 --> 01:24:13,106
that. Our team is

2510
01:24:13,106 --> 01:24:14,942
>> actually acquiring that

2511
01:24:14,942 --> 01:24:15,576
information will present

2512
01:24:15,576 --> 01:24:17,770
OCTOBER. Before we go back to

2513
01:24:17,770 --> 01:24:19,477
see, let's hear from

2514
01:24:19,846 --> 01:24:22,246
commissioner has thank you.

2515
01:24:23,217 --> 01:24:24,218
And another thing we can is

2516
01:24:24,218 --> 01:24:26,218
encourage other partners.

2517
01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:29,200
Other state agencies.

2518
01:24:30,524 --> 01:24:31,358
>> To work with us.

2519
01:24:31,358 --> 01:24:31,825
>> And continue the work that

2520
01:24:31,825 --> 01:24:34,225
they do that Florida

2521
01:24:34,628 --> 01:24:36,163
Department of Health.

2522
01:24:36,163 --> 01:24:39,163
>> Does test many of the

2523
01:24:39,633 --> 01:24:41,668
Beaches, Hague Smathers what

2524
01:24:41,668 --> 01:24:44,404
about twice a month? I think

2525
01:24:44,404 --> 01:24:45,500
and it's published. You can,

2526
01:24:45,500 --> 01:24:48,605
you know, read it every month

2527
01:24:49,109 --> 01:24:50,277
to comes out and I was

2528
01:24:50,277 --> 01:24:51,745
following it for several

2529
01:24:51,745 --> 01:24:52,379
years. And I like swimming at

2530
01:24:52,379 --> 01:24:54,779
Simonton Street Beach, which

2531
01:24:55,116 --> 01:24:57,952
was never tested. So. I asked

2532
01:24:57,952 --> 01:24:58,586
him to add it. They said,

2533
01:24:58,586 --> 01:25:00,988
well, we don't have the budget

2534
01:25:00,988 --> 01:25:01,622
to do that this year. I said,

2535
01:25:01,622 --> 01:25:02,523
well, how about next year? Can

2536
01:25:02,523 --> 01:25:06,930
you see if you can put in the

2537
01:25:06,930 --> 01:25:07,694
budget Simonton Beach is being

2538
01:25:07,694 --> 01:25:08,262
tested now. I MAY not have

2539
01:25:08,262 --> 01:25:09,330
been the only citizen that

2540
01:25:09,330 --> 01:25:12,330
requested it, but, you know,

2541
01:25:13,133 --> 01:25:13,735
they were responsive. So

2542
01:25:13,735 --> 01:25:14,335
Florida Department of Health

2543
01:25:14,335 --> 01:25:16,838
is doing excellent work, you

2544
01:25:16,838 --> 01:25:18,739
know, in testing I

2545
01:25:18,739 --> 01:25:20,739
recreational beaches letting

2546
01:25:23,210 --> 01:25:24,179
us know the results. It could

2547
01:25:24,179 --> 01:25:25,146
be my specific. You know, it

2548
01:25:25,146 --> 01:25:26,647
tells you the re the level of

2549
01:25:26,647 --> 01:25:27,482
fecal coliform, but it doesn't

2550
01:25:27,482 --> 01:25:28,850
tell you where that fecal

2551
01:25:28,850 --> 01:25:31,510
coliform came from this in

2552
01:25:31,510 --> 01:25:34,422
from sea gulls from ball in

2553
01:25:34,422 --> 01:25:34,989
whatever. We also work with

2554
01:25:34,989 --> 01:25:37,658
our partners and not other

2555
01:25:37,658 --> 01:25:39,227
agencies and thank Absolutely.

2556
01:25:39,227 --> 01:25:41,627
Yes. Commissioner Carey, thank

2557
01:25:42,970 --> 01:25:42,730
you. MISTER Mayor Allison,

2558
01:25:42,730 --> 01:25:46,330
have a quick question for you.

2559
01:25:47,168 --> 01:25:49,304
That's okay. How soon will we

2560
01:25:49,304 --> 01:25:52,304
have the results from that

2561
01:25:53,542 --> 01:25:55,644
water quality testing. The we

2562
01:25:55,644 --> 01:25:57,712
will have the equipment and a

2563
01:25:57,712 --> 01:26:00,149
month. But how we go forward

2564
01:26:00,149 --> 01:26:00,648
and who picks it up to install

2565
01:26:00,648 --> 01:26:01,283
know that that's up to

2566
01:26:01,283 --> 01:26:03,251
illegal. So we don't know that

2567
01:26:03,251 --> 01:26:03,819
yet.

2568
01:26:03,819 --> 01:26:05,387
>> So could be like a year

2569
01:26:05,387 --> 01:26:08,570
before we get risotto. I would

2570
01:26:08,570 --> 01:26:10,326
say at the minimum, if you are

2571
01:26:10,326 --> 01:26:12,528
allowed to go with stantec, it

2572
01:26:12,528 --> 01:26:15,297
would it would be in OCTOBER.

2573
01:26:15,297 --> 01:26:15,865
We have results in OCTOBER.

2574
01:26:15,865 --> 01:26:18,267
You would start getting the

2575
01:26:18,267 --> 01:26:21,867
first and points so it would

2576
01:26:22,371 --> 01:26:24,907
wait installed in deployed. I

2577
01:26:24,907 --> 01:26:25,408
know we have data points from

2578
01:26:25,408 --> 01:26:27,609
the last round as water

2579
01:26:27,609 --> 01:26:30,900
quality testing, but where

2580
01:26:32,140 --> 01:26:33,616
those results that. So the raw

2581
01:26:33,616 --> 01:26:36,119
data has been given over to

2582
01:26:36,119 --> 01:26:39,589
sew up a has it. The epa has

2583
01:26:39,589 --> 01:26:40,856
it and Stantec has it. So

2584
01:26:40,856 --> 01:26:41,858
they're one of the reasons why

2585
01:26:41,858 --> 01:26:44,193
we put in it see the reference

2586
01:26:44,193 --> 01:26:47,793
to a no-cost extension at the

2587
01:26:48,798 --> 01:26:49,399
very least was because biggest

2588
01:26:49,399 --> 01:26:49,999
picture of this contract was

2589
01:26:49,999 --> 01:26:52,235
them to look at all the data

2590
01:26:52,235 --> 01:26:55,235
we already have. Find out

2591
01:26:56,206 --> 01:26:56,839
where their problem areas.

2592
01:26:56,839 --> 01:26:59,750
Pitch to you. What we could do

2593
01:26:59,750 --> 01:26:59,642
about those problem. Areas and

2594
01:26:59,642 --> 01:27:02,420
then actually designed the

2595
01:27:02,245 --> 01:27:02,746
water quality monitoring track

2596
01:27:02,746 --> 01:27:05,746
the fact that we fixed

2597
01:27:05,982 --> 01:27:08,952
something. We don't want to

2598
01:27:08,952 --> 01:27:10,387
sample for sampling sake. We

2599
01:27:10,387 --> 01:27:11,354
want to be if we decide to

2600
01:27:11,354 --> 01:27:14,354
figure out mitigate of effects

2601
01:27:15,358 --> 01:27:15,826
for Prop wash. Then we need to

2602
01:27:15,826 --> 01:27:18,826
see whether we made a

2603
01:27:20,197 --> 01:27:21,310
difference or not. So I guess

2604
01:27:21,310 --> 01:27:21,665
just never for one second. I

2605
01:27:21,665 --> 01:27:22,266
hate to be rude, but I want to

2606
01:27:22,266 --> 01:27:24,266
acknowledge that Commissioner

2607
01:27:24,468 --> 01:27:25,636
Castillo needs to leave.

2608
01:27:25,636 --> 01:27:26,236
>> For his district 6 meeting

2609
01:27:26,236 --> 01:27:29,339
and I just don't want anyone

2610
01:27:29,339 --> 01:27:31,208
to think that he is doing

2611
01:27:31,208 --> 01:27:32,743
leaving for any other reason.

2612
01:27:32,743 --> 01:27:33,343
He has a legitimate reason.

2613
01:27:33,343 --> 01:27:33,977
And I want to say thank you,

2614
01:27:33,977 --> 01:27:36,279
Commissioner Castillo and I'll

2615
01:27:36,279 --> 01:27:37,810
see you at the District. 6

2616
01:27:37,810 --> 01:27:40,810
meetings I call the question

2617
01:27:41,180 --> 01:27:44,180
then before he departs up.

2618
01:27:44,530 --> 01:27:44,622
Could could we vote? That

2619
01:27:44,622 --> 01:27:45,540
we're ready to vote because

2620
01:27:45,540 --> 01:27:45,655
then he could then

2621
01:27:45,655 --> 01:27:46,256
commissioner, because you can

2622
01:27:46,256 --> 01:27:49,256
vote are what's the pleasure

2623
01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:50,528
of the board? I would like

2624
01:27:50,528 --> 01:27:52,928

2625
01:27:52,997 --> 01:27:53,597
going pay will can you wait

2626
01:27:53,597 --> 01:27:55,997
another minute? He's probably

2627
01:27:56,267 --> 01:27:56,834
going to be late.

2628
01:27:56,834 --> 01:27:58,169
>> The quick time he look,

2629
01:27:58,169 --> 01:28:01,769
sorry, law hate. I would like

2630
01:28:02,339 --> 01:28:03,173
to When we're going to have

2631
01:28:03,173 --> 01:28:03,974
some results. You said we have

2632
01:28:03,974 --> 01:28:04,609

2633
01:28:04,609 --> 01:28:08,790
waiting for Stantec to give us

2634
01:28:08,790 --> 01:28:09,380

01:28:09,380 --> 01:28:12,380

Okay. So that is going give

2640
01:28:17,588 --> 01:28:21,188
you a rough idea where we

2641
01:28:21,426 --> 01:28:22,600
could go with that just within

2642
01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:23,361
testing for a long, long time.

2643
01:28:23,361 --> 01:28:24,429
But it doesn't sound like

2645
01:28:25,290 --> 01:28:27,632
