[23:13] planning, d esign and construction, lighting and

[23:16] maintenance a nd airfield operations and following the

[23:19] best practices from these entities as w e continue to

[23:23] develop your management t eam with the airport, as far as

[23:27] operationally, we do the airport facilities maintenance

[23:30] which is all the upgrades of airfield through the faa

[24:03] areas, pavement m aintenance, new c onstruction, perimeter

[24:06] inspections, your regulatory requirements, we are probably

[24:09] your most regulated overall department in the county.

[24:11] I think t he staff there at

[24:13] key west does a n out stampeder job

[24:18] of following all those reck

[24:19] -- regulations we have to d o,

[24:21] we go through a n umber of

[24:24] different reviews every year with these agencies, all to

[24:29] earn the license and certifications that w e learn.

[24:32] since my employment with the county and running the key

[24:39] west airport there, we have

[24:42] shifted a ll of the training all t he aarf personnel which

[24:48] all t he aarf personnel which fire fighting personnel, as

[24:54] fire fighting personnel, as we all know, structure fire

[24:59] training is different than arff training, arff train

[25:03] ising t o save people's lives on the aircraft which is

[25:07] different t han the training tla the n ormal firefighters

[25:10] that would go through with structural training kls to

[25:12] protect the s tructure and save

[25:13] lives, it's a different program

[25:18] program does an o utstanding job of

[25:22] training our fine men and young w omen that go through

[25:27] the p rogram at dfw and they

[25:28] bring that talent b ack to key

[25:30] west for the overall safety for a ll the passengers that

[25:32] travel through and it I s quite

[25:34] the e xtensive program we've been running them through,

[25:37] tla's been for about three years n ow.

[25:40] her's w hat we're trying to earn, t he annual

[25:43] certification and inspection, so we get a

[25:46] license f rom the state to continue operating the

[25:49] airfield in the airport and we

[25:51] also get certification from the f aa every year through

[25:54] all the inspections they do w hich

[25:56] is largely all of my great

[26:01] all of your administrative type

[26:02] things and planning and design

[26:05] things, I d o not run the and t here's a phenomenal

[26:19] annual inspection are r elated to the emas, the lighting,

[26:22] the markings, the arff, it's a lot

[26:25] of stuff that we do, ramp control operations, this is

[26:29] one of the biggest changes that happened, I know the

[26:34] mayor and I have many times

[26:35] talked about this b ecause we everywhere the year after

[26:38] everywhere the year after covid, there were s o many

[26:42] planes on the ground, the communication b reakdowns were

[26:45] plentiful, we took over ramp control so that the staff

[26:48] that you have there running

[26:51] day-to-day are talking directly to the pilots and

[26:54] is smoothed everything out, everything is running nicely

[26:57] now, we don't h ave the significant delays we w ere

[27:01] having so I t is a big change

[27:04] but it's working well, the

[27:06] other change that I w anted to

[32:10] I just wanted to make a read

[32:13] read

[32:16] your report and I wanted to

[32:19] share with everyone an item that I pulled out of it.

[32:24] there's a cumulative total in there w hen this report is p

[32:27] together which reflects how much money we have spent

[32:30] really over the history of the

[32:34] entire program I presume on various items I mportant to

[32:39] monroe county, and I did happen to n otice that since

[32:42] the beginning and w hen was

[32:46] the >> 1988 I s the beginning of

[32:58] >> okay, 1988, the land authority using very sources

[33:07] of funding and one tof major

[33:10] sources of funding for that

[33:12] land purchasing is one-half penny o f our bed tax, it has

[33:17] purchased a total of 50 million d ollars worth of land

[33:19] for a ffordable housing, so, we

[33:23] all know how important that

[33:26] is to us, we all know that we'r

[33:31] behind the 8 ball on it, but huge contribution t owards the

[33:35] huge contribution t owards the development o f affordable housing.

[33:37] we tend to make that available

[33:41] to various developers because affordable housing or not, if

[33:46] affordable housing or not, if financial h elp on a project,

[33:50] financial h elp on a project, cost

[33:54] cost that allows y ou to rent it

[34:45] the tdc tax b ut it is imposed the same way.

[34:47] >> okay. >> it I s a bed tax.

[34:49] >> it I s a bed tax. .

[40:46] >> we have a motion and a second, h earing no

[40:50] objections, g11 is approved, and I would

[40:53] like to b ack up a couple of

[40:55] items and e xplain something that christine mentioned and

[40:59] explain it a little more in public needs to understand

[41:04] public needs to understand that aspect.

[41:06] christine mentioned that some of the land that we just

[41:10] acquired will be sold t o the

[41:13] state. The s tate has certain chunks

[41:17] of land down here that they

[41:18] have in w hat they call the

[41:19] florida forever program, correct me at any point when

[41:23] I deviate f rom the truth, christine.

[41:26] generally they've had 5 million dollars a y ear to

[41:31] purchase land in those designated areas.

[41:34] as a general rule, they have

[41:36] not been able t o do that. Because

[41:39] because inside of monroe county to

[41:43] inside of monroe county to them, close t hem and the

[41:48] them, close t hem and the usual

[41:55] routine that anyone goes through purchasing land, so

[42:00] they have n ot spent that 5 christine's come on board

[42:02] christine's come on board the present j ob, she has with

[42:08] the present j ob, she has with relationship with the state

[42:13] relationship with the state and p roposed that we purchase

[42:16] the l and, then they buy it from us.

[42:19] they have a problem purchasing

[42:23] land and if I understand it correctly, that problem is

[42:29] that by s tatute, they can only

[42:33] pay t he appraised price, not if I'm right, christine,

[42:37] thank you, okay, frequently we find

[42:42] the seller won't sell it for the a ppraised price because

[42:47] it runs behind market value, so

[42:49] on the average, we pay, what, sometimes?

[42:50] sometimes? >> yes. >> it varies with the land

[42:55] and with the seller, but let's say

[43:06] it's 20% over the price the

[43:09] state can pay, we b uy the

[43:11] land, we then turn around,

[43:11] sell it t o the state or what

[43:13] they can pay for it which is that

[43:17] that money, put it back into our

[43:21] acquisition f und to buy more a

[43:24] a result of that, I'm pretty

[43:27] sure at the e nd of the year, 5

[43:30] 5 property in monroe county if

[43:35] property in monroe county if christine has anything to d o

[43:40] with it. Did I miss anything importan there, christine?

[43:43] >> no, that's a great smran at

[43:47] at dep are r eally I think excited

[43:51] about the way t his is unrolling.

[43:53] I hope by the e nd of this million,

[43:56] million,

[43:57] but I know by the end of n

[44:01] year, we will. >> good, thank you very m uch.

[44:05] yeah, I think that is a ver

[44:07] innovative approach to that problem a nd I think you

[44:10] should be commended along with your

[44:13] staff f or making that happen. Any other business for the

[44:17] land authority? >> mr. Mayor? >> yes?

[44:18] >> if I might, I want to thank

[44:22] both christine and emily for coming and giving the

[44:26] presentation to t he middle keys realtors, just l ike you

[44:31] did with holly in the upper

[44:34] keys, you a ll did a fantastic

[46:14] transportation services.

[46:16] >> I want to make one com good contract b ecause it

[46:22] good contract b ecause it reduces o ur expense from 25%

[46:26] to roughly 12% and they're piggybacking on t he other

[46:30] contract, so I think this wa together.

[47:24] administrative director ed cocoa nis u pdate on new

[47:28] permitting software. >> yay, l ooking forward to this.

[47:32] >> good morning, everyone, this should b e fairly quick.

[47:37] again, for anybody in t he switch tog a new electronic

[47:42] switch tog a new electronic permitting system, our

[47:43] current the end o f next year, most of

[47:48] the end o f next year, most of

[47:51] the s upport on it will ceas electronic permitting system,

[47:55] electronic permitting system, remember, w hen we go live

[48:00] remember, w hen we go live

[48:02] which we're h oping is going

[48:05] to be mid july, anyone going

[48:06] forward from that point who be electronic, if y ou have

[48:10] be electronic, if y ou have submitted p rior to that on

[48:13] paper, obviously we're going let y ou continue on those on

[48:18] paper, I want to make sure everyone's aware of that.

[48:22] we have a ccomplished a lot

[48:21] since last month, a lot of most

[48:26] most people aren't really going to

[48:29] care about, t hey want -- what

[48:31] we keep hear ising when it's

[48:36] it going to happen, so again

[48:39] we are projecting mid t o late

[48:40] july the -- what we're really company and [ inaudible] who

[48:42] company and [ inaudible] who is

[48:45] -- the money people for the credit cards, they're w orking

[48:50] and they're o n the last steps contract signed because w hat

[48:54] contract signed because w hat we want to do is wait to

[48:59] live until not only can you submit everything o nline you

[49:00] can, you can pay online so you

[49:02] don't have to come into the

[49:06] office to p ay. That we t hink is kind of out

[49:15] that we t hink is kind of out

[49:17] of our hands, staff's been working very hard , lots and

[49:22] lots of m eetings. We've f inished with contractor

[49:23] licensing instead o f paper, they are already in

[49:26] production so we h ave everything

[49:28] converted o ver, so that the contractor licensing should

[49:31] be much easier for the

[49:34] contractors to not only apply,

[49:39] renew, check their status, they'll be able to do t hat

[49:44] through t he system, brian davidson, our j is person in

[49:47] planning has successfully automated t he property record

[49:48] card information so t hat we're

[49:51] going to be able to g et that

[49:54] in our system and so we'll have -- q uestion ear

[49:57] projecting to get t hose on a

[49:57] weekly basis as w ell as the be

[50:01] be able to tell you your addre

[50:05] or whatever by punching that basted

[50:06] basted so if you c an find your

[50:11] property on a map, you can do

[50:14] all that too and all that's

[50:14] going t o be linked together. Wez h ave just deployed our

[50:18] mark-up software which we haven't h ad in the past and

[50:21] what that's going to do is

[50:21] allow t he staff to not only corrections

[50:25] corrections are n eeded but also that's

[50:30] going - - that should help the contractors, architects,

[50:34] engineers t o more easily see what is w rong so that

[50:38] hopefully one s et of corrections, hopefully that

[50:41] will be I t. It is the industry standard,

[50:43] there's other places nr t he it's

[50:46] it's by far the industry standard,

[50:48] it's called blue beam, I

[50:52] would like to t hank joe tut l and

[50:56] his team for getting that deploy and had ray ortiz in

[51:00] business and david reems in

[51:02] planning with t heir get thing s taff to learn how

[51:10] get thing s taff to learn how to use it.

[51:14] again, the testing we have

[51:17] tested end to end, we keep

[51:20] thinking of tweaks to m ake it the

[51:22] the public. The m anager/supervisors

[51:25] across planning, building even code,

[51:28] I want to thank rick, I wan

[51:31] to thank emily and cynthia I

[51:32] code, planning and code are later

[51:36] later after permitting, but t hey are

[51:42] coming. The permitting team, the

[51:45] customer service team, crystal,

[51:51] crystal, lisa, m ckayla, dawn, alba,

[51:55] jan, sarah, nicole, cat, angelica, dorli, chantel, l ee

[52:00] ya n, they are all really normal job, difficult enough,

[52:04] normal job, difficult enough, a lot o f the employees are

[52:09] brand new, they had to learn

[52:12] two systems at the same time,

[52:16] not easy, n ot an easy job at

[52:19] all, but they h ave done a ton

[52:20] of work and I'm super proud there's karen p leasant, she

[52:27] there's karen p leasant, she creates the reports, does the

[52:32] automated e-mails, she has

[52:34] been -- b asically we have tom by

[52:38] by karen is like the person in

[52:41] between that al and I, we

[52:43] would not b e here if we

[52:44] weren't for karen, we would months behind, she's just

[52:47] months behind, she's just done

[52:54] an incredible job, she sometimes h as to be a drill

[52:59] sergeant on u s but she has course, on time.

[53:05] course, on time. I g et e-mails from her day,

[53:10] night, saturday, sunday for months and they're also

[53:13] working o n -- we're working on

[53:16] getting o ur website, it's still where w e were last

[53:19] month but again we're on the

[53:21] technical s ide, we're maiming a l ot ofz moves, you won't

[53:24] see it yet but we're trying to

[53:24] get more video and is more

[53:28] instructions but wla's on there n ow if you still

[53:31] haven't seen it t o register for an

[53:34] account, to see h ow to apply

[53:36] for a permit, it's easier no

[53:39] and it's going to be easier

[53:40] now than it I s on paper, I thought a ny different,

[53:43] thought a ny different, paper's

[53:45] a l ittle confusing, there's stuff t hat's not intuitive,

[53:50] when you go through this, there's certain t hings if

[53:51] there's an asterisk next to it

[53:53] on the application, you have it will t ell you you're

[53:57] it will t ell you you're missing t his accidenter it's

[53:59] really intuitive websinger have e-mail accounts and the

[54:00] phone if anybody has problems,

[54:02] we're thinking it's going to public

[54:04] public and a lot faster, it's

[54:08] concurrent reviews, you're not

[54:11] going to have certain departments that get behind

[54:15] from time t o time toe stall it, everybody should be

[54:19] getting behind it, it's our building and permitting

[54:21] department page, online permitting services, it's

[54:25] going to keep getting updated. Again, we're hoping m id to

[54:30] late july, really hinging on one thing a nd that's the

[54:33] credit cards, so if they can

[54:36] get that resolved in the next

[54:39] couple of w eeks which we're

[54:41] still h opeful for, we should concrete date p ret tie soon,

[54:46] concrete date p ret tie soon, we will publish it

[54:51] everywhere, we have t o monitor that

[54:55] contract, karen's going t o be working w ith jethon and

[54:57] jovanni , we're going to be working

[55:00] with the contractors hopefully

[55:03] in a few weeks, we're just finalizing that but we

[55:07] believe that should be a week or two,

[55:11] we don't really expect any issues, w hat we really expect

[55:16] is for them to see how much

[55:17] better it's g oing to be, better and easier, then we

[55:21] just have t o continue with staff, just o ur last few

[55:23] bits, we train, we retrain, we look

[55:25] at it and we try to get the

[55:27] the box, the is there anything you

[55:29] would like that w e didn't have

[55:31] because our current s ystem has

[55:33] constraints of course, so t ry

[55:35] to get that out of people's

[55:37] heads, if you c ould have

[55:40] anything you want a nd then we

[55:40] ask if we c an get it, with --

[55:43] -- we could get, it was a really

[55:48] we could get, it was a really

[55:52] good choice, thank you, all, choice and again planning fo

[55:55] choice and again planning fo some others because I h ave

[55:59] heard I t, plan and code are yet.

[56:01] yet. Does anybody have questions?

[56:04] >> mr. Mayor, I have a have

[56:08] have like an u nveiling ceremony

[56:10] where we get to click the star contractors?

[56:13] star contractors? Just wondering because this is

[56:17] a big deal? >> yeah, I can definitely

[56:20] work with allen and we can see how

[56:23] we can do that for the first day.

[56:27] >> one more thing t o add to

[56:28] your list but it's big de do

[56:31] do and w e'll do it, we'll do it,

[56:35] that's a great idea. Anything else?

[56:36] >> excellent update, thank you.

[56:39] >> well, hopefully by your next meet, we will already

[56:42] live. >> thank you, and t ell your

[56:43] staff thank y ou, we how hard they w ork.

[56:48] how hard they w ork. >> thank you.

[56:53] >> and to a successful launch. Okay, moving along.

[56:57] >> yes, sir, same page on 8,

[56:59] item j1, approval o a moderate income affordable

[57:02] moderate income affordable pursuant to monroe county

[57:08] pursuant to monroe county code

[57:11] section 1 38-24, subsection b, subsection 1 for the

[57:14] construction of two affordable

[57:19] housing d welling units on point s et ta drive, lots 14

[57:24] and 1 5, block 6, holiday honesties, key largo, having

[57:27] property identification numbers 0 0530730 with no split

[57:34] out a nd 00530740 with no split

[57:39] out u ntil june 15, 2026. The same time.

[57:42] the same time. >> that would b e on page 13,

[57:46] item p7. Approval of a resolution of

[57:47] the h ardcover county commissioners o f monroe

[57:50] county, florida, approving a could watt deed to donate two

[57:57] lots for the construction of two a ffordable housing

[58:01] dwelling units to have a ta keying.

[58:05] keying. >> okay, so these two items,

[58:09] last month you discussed donating two lots t o habitat

[58:12] for humanity of the upper keys

[58:17] to build two affordable housing u nits, so j1 would b

[58:22] reservation of rogo u nits for resolution approving donation

[58:24] resolution approving donation of those lots.

[58:28] right now, p -- I'm sorry, j1,

[58:32] the rogo reservation, right year reservation, they would

[58:37] year reservation, they would have to h ave their building

[58:42] permits I ssued by june of issued, then they take the

[58:46] issued, then they take the

[58:49] time they need to build it,

[58:51] ice -- they would wait the

[58:51] full four years to pull th

[58:54] permits but that would be the

[58:56] limit. P7 right now is d rafted in a

[59:00] way that after 10 y ears if

[59:03] this z the units are not

[59:04] completed, there would be on option for the county to

[59:06] exercise to t ake the land back

[59:09] and I believe the r eason for discussion about that

[59:16] discussion about that timeframe s hould it be

[59:20] shorter, is that contract? -- correct?

[59:22] >> yes, I t's up to us if we and

[59:25] and have five eyers b e the limit,

[59:28] I f eel habitat with get it

[59:31] done in five years and we ca

[59:33] also if that five year marke

[59:33] passes, we can sort of let I more

[59:35] more >> the way I've drafted the

[59:38] >> the way I've drafted the

[59:41] language is it takes ain f exercise the reverter clause,

[59:46] exercise the reverter clause,

[59:47] so, five year from now, if w

[59:49] change it t o five and we g

[59:49] the five plus a day, it woul board

[59:53] board to do it but it would sen

[59:55] the message that we n eed it built,

[59:58] we don't just h old these for until the tenth y ear.

[1:00:02] until the tenth y ear. >> I don't think lindsay

[1:00:04] fast, the director of h abitat is on

[1:00:07] the line yet, she w as in a but

[1:00:11] but I've been texting with her, I

[1:00:14] do know the rogo reservation,

[1:00:17] I asked h er is four years be enough, they're breaking

[1:00:22] be enough, they're breaking ground on a project in

[1:00:26] islamorada, t hey said it's an 18-24 month p roject, then

[1:00:30] they'd move on to these lo

[1:00:30] there are four, there a re two

[1:00:32] they already have w ith the reservation, so I agree, it

[1:00:36] sound like they can probably county has an option to

[1:00:39] county has an option to extend, t hat's also an

[1:00:41] opportunity to give them more

[1:00:43] time. >> mr. Mayor, we needed these

[1:00:47] homes yesterday so I say the than

[1:00:49] than -- more than accomplishes our

[1:00:50] goal. . Er is that a motion?

[1:00:53] >> so m oved. >> second.

[1:00:56] >> we h ave a motion and a second, any further

[1:01:00] discussion? Any o bjections? >> just to clarify, that

[1:01:02] would be the motion for p7 which is

[1:01:07] the l and donation resolution, and then we a lso need a

[1:01:10] motion for j1 which is the rogo

[1:01:11] reservation with the four year

[1:01:12] time limit to pull the permits.

[1:01:14] >> thank you, c ould I have a motion?

[1:01:17] >> I'll move for that too. As

[1:01:17] as

[1:01:22] well. >> okay, any o bjections?

[1:01:27] >> okay, any o bjections? The I tem is approved.

[1:01:31] >> your n ext item is on page

[1:01:33] 9, j3, approval of an monroe county a nd the florida

[1:01:41] monroe county a nd the florida department of environmental

[1:01:45] protections providing protection mobile pump out

[1:01:53] protection mobile pump out services for monroe county,

[1:01:58] contract number e s008. Want today continue it to

[1:02:00] want today continue it to july, I w anted to explain

[1:02:03] what it was about and whether

[1:02:07] you're on b oard with this idea, a s you know, fdep to

[1:02:12] over the pump out s frs

[1:02:13] program keys wide last year,

[1:02:15] so they have a contract with the contract for this

[1:02:18] the contract for this upcoming

[1:02:21] year, their y ear starts in july, the m oney for this

[1:02:26] project, the county asked for 300 thousand from t he state

[1:02:32] and t hat was approved, we ha

[1:02:34] to put a match in our budge

[1:02:36] so we f rom our boating improvement f unds did budget

[1:02:40] approximately 300 t housand, dep I s asking now, think ear

[1:02:43] using the 300 t housand from the s tate, they're asking if

[1:02:46] we have m oney to cover the

[1:02:47] other portion of the contract directly in t heir own budget,

[1:02:52] directly in t heir own budget,

[1:02:52] so yes, w e have it and, yes,

[1:02:53] we're supportive of them continuing this c ontract, so

[1:02:59] staff's recommending approval to do t hat, the interlocal

[1:03:04] agreement I s the mechanism to get t hem the money, the

[1:03:07] reason I'm asking to hold it is

[1:03:09] because this has only b een in

[1:03:11] the works for a couple of finished reviewing and

[1:03:14] finished reviewing and approving the document

[1:03:15] itself, so I need to continue I t to

[1:03:20] july. I do think they may also be

[1:03:23] entertaining a request to renegotiate the f ee or the

[1:03:27] amount with the contractor because of increased fuel

[1:03:33] prices, w e do have enough funds a vailable to cover a

[1:03:38] higher amount if needed, so that would be reflected in

[1:03:40] the july item when we come back,

[1:03:41] I thought that was important to

[1:03:44] let dep know that the money is

[1:03:47] coming, c ontinue services, >> I support that.

[1:03:53] >> I support that. >> okay, do we need a motion

[1:03:57] to continue, someone want to make that m otion, that wauz

[1:03:59] motion from commissioner er

[1:04:01] er >> I'll second it. >> and a second.

[1:04:06] >> thank you. >> mayor, besides your

[1:04:12] commissioners comments, w e're done until 10:30 this morning

[1:04:16] for t he time approximate. Do you want t o have a

[1:04:21] commissioners comments? >> do w e have any comments

[1:04:23] other than shock? >> I would like the wait t

[1:04:27] the end o f the meeting when revenger's fatigued to give

[1:04:28] my >> it works for m e.

[1:04:31] >> it works for m e. >> mayor?

[1:04:34] >> we p refer that too because >> mayor?

[1:04:37] >> mayor? >> yes?

[1:04:38] >> greg b urns if it's okay give his report.

[1:04:43] give his report. >> absolutely. >> yes.

[1:04:46] >> greg? >> it's a time approximate of 10:30.

[1:04:51] >> we're going to go ahead --

[1:04:54] -- >> okay. >> it doesn't work?

[1:04:58] >> it won't go down. >> good morning, mayor,

[1:05:03] commissioners, this I tem concerns the board's federal

[1:05:05] legislative agenda for the coming year, each year we do

[1:05:07] a federal agenda much like we

[1:05:11] do the state general a basing

[1:05:14] similar to the state agenda, we have perennial issues that

[1:05:17] we have in there all the time

[1:05:19] and we have new issues that

[1:05:21] come -- that are added as a

[1:05:22] result of new challenges, so some of our standing

[1:05:25] priorities include reauthorization o f the

[1:05:26] national flood insurance on

[1:05:34] on keeping t hose premiums

[1:05:38] affordable, f unding for pilt and f quip, everglades

[1:05:42] restating and t hose that impact the florida bay and

[1:05:45] the estuary, coral reef protection, veterans support,

[1:05:48] those a re our perennial issues, and t hen we have

[1:05:50] issue that is a re added, an example

[1:05:54] of that is something that was added after h urricane irma

[1:05:59] when bh w e had all of that

[1:06:00] marine debris, there really isn't a ny automatic standing

[1:06:04] federal program to help with removing that marine debris,

[1:06:08] so that's b ecome a focus for

[1:06:09] us to t ry to identify funding

[1:06:12] with some c ertainty, we got

[1:06:13] funding but we need t o make the next time.

[1:06:18] the next time. Then in 2 020 and 2021,

[1:06:22] congress was focused on response to t he pandemic and

[1:06:25] we were m onitoring and advocating for funds to b e

[1:06:27] sent down for local businesses

[1:06:29] and workers a nd local cares a ct in 2020 and then

[1:06:34] cares a ct in 2020 and then the

[1:06:38] american rescue p lan in 2021, today, greg's g oing to talk

[1:06:43] today, greg's g oing to talk authorization for the new

[1:06:44] authorization for the new completed

[1:06:47] completed with the army corps, the

[1:06:50] climate r esilience project and earmarks, f ederal

[1:06:53] appropriation requests, so you'll see those in the

[1:06:55] agenda and greg's going to talk about

[1:06:58] those a little, greg burns is our f ederal lobbyist, he's

[1:07:03] been with t he county since you

[1:07:03] you briefly, he's going to give

[1:07:07] you a little presentation on recent successes and some of

[1:07:13] our I ssues and answer any of your questions.

[1:07:18] >> okay. >> thank you very m uch. Greg, w elcome.

[1:07:21] >> good morning, thank you for

[1:07:21] the opportunity to be with you all t oday.

[1:07:25] my name's greg burns with a company called thorn run

[1:07:30] partner I ns washington, dc, pleased to be here and than

[1:07:33] you, lisa, for the introduction, I feel like she

[1:07:36] basically said everything I'm about to say so I apologize

[1:07:40] for what I may repeat. I s tart talking about your

[1:07:42] I s tart talking about your a

[1:07:44] a moment to r emind you that

[1:07:47] thorn run partners is sort of

[1:07:50] a whole t eam of people, it's

[1:07:52] not just me even though I am

[1:07:55] the person that you see, I

[1:07:57] joined the firm in 2018 but

[1:07:59] the f irm was founded in 2010 recently been named the

[1:08:02] recently been named the number

[1:08:03] 9 f irm in washington based on total revenue, that's huge

[1:08:08] growth for us, we started out

[1:08:09] as two people, we're now ove

[1:08:11] 45 people, it's just been a

[1:08:13] really great place to b e and

[1:08:16] we're all very happy to be

[1:08:17] working o n your behalf. We do have about 225 clients

[1:08:22] tat firm, a gain, we started with two people probably 15

[1:08:24] clients initially, so you can imagine the growth, we do

[1:08:26] have a lot o f experience working on

[1:08:30] behalf of public entities, I nror abasing california,

[1:08:32] texas, other places like that,

[1:08:37] we have m ore than 45 clients in that s pace.

[1:08:42] focusing now on w hat we do on

[1:08:45] behalf of monroe county, so, work with respect to

[1:08:48] work with respect to appropriation a nd is earmark,

[1:08:50] congress did just restore sort

[1:08:52] of the power of the purses

[1:08:55] they call I t where they have begun to both request and

[1:08:58] fund earmarks, they haven't done

[1:08:59] that for about ten years so

[1:09:01] this has been the first time

[1:09:03] since I've been working on behalf of m onroe county where

[1:09:05] we've been able to request funding.

[1:09:05] wez worked with your team last

[1:09:09] year to identify the twin lakes project is something we

[1:09:14] all felt would be competitive for funding, congressman

[1:09:18] jimenez did m ake the request on behalf of the county, he

[1:09:21] did s ecure almost 5.5 million dollars for the the project

[1:09:26] which is a a full federal all

[1:09:27] all thanks to the congressman, he

[1:09:29] really did deliver for you all

[1:09:32] and it was a big deal becaus to

[1:09:34] to fact that h e not only made

[1:09:38] fact that h e not only made

[1:09:44] yours one o f his priorities but then went out a nd

[1:09:49] successfully fouk for t hose funds w as a big deal and w

[1:09:53] appreciate his work on behalf of the county.

[1:09:55] florida k eys water quality another

[1:09:58] another one, this is obviously the

[1:10:02] year's long effort to impr creating a central sewer

[1:10:06] creating a central sewer system throughout the keys,

[1:10:11] and h e has continued theo fight to secure funding for

[1:10:15] fqip, he got a 6 million

[1:10:16] dollar earmark in l ast year's bill, that brings the project

[1:10:21] to 78 million dollars over a maybe.

[1:10:22] maybe. And then pilt I s payment in

[1:10:26] lieu of taxes, this is the program t hat helps reimburse

[1:10:30] monroe county a nd other counties across the kuntd ri

[1:10:33] for all o f the federal land and

[1:10:35] and so out of that pilt funding

[1:10:39] that was funded by congress, you all r eceived roughly

[1:10:41] about 1.4 m illion dollars annually,

[1:10:44] we always have to fight to make sure t hat program is

[1:10:49] funded adequately. We also have two other things

[1:10:50] which a re not directly funding

[1:10:53] related but are k nown as authorizations so, the water

[1:10:56] resources development act I s the b ill congress passes

[1:10:59] every two y ears hopefully to give

[1:11:02] the army corps of engineers it does t hroughout the

[1:11:05] it does t hroughout the country

[1:11:07] and we're going t o talk more

[1:11:09] about h ow the corps does pl that are important to the

[1:11:13] that are important to the authorization, a construction

[1:11:17] authorization, a construction authorization for t he monroe

[1:11:20] county coastal storm risk management study to basically

[1:11:22] move forward so they can begin

[1:11:24] to spend money and build things.

[1:11:27] thus far, they've spent studies, all of w hich are

[1:11:33] studies, all of w hich are

[1:11:35] valuable but we want them t

[1:11:36] build t hings and improve your storm resiliency here I n n

[1:11:41] the keys, b efore can get federal

[1:11:43] fund ifinger construction, the water resources development

[1:11:45] act I ncludes the authorization

[1:11:46] for your study to move to construction in both the

[1:11:50] house and the s enate versions, we

[1:11:50] hope that b ill will pass this year, it's something

[1:11:57] this year, it's something we're w orking closely on, for

[1:12:02] that, w e thank your entire delegation mr. Rubio and

[1:12:06] senator scott h ave been helpful, there is a n

[1:12:09] additional authorization for in

[1:12:13] in potential federal f unding for

[1:12:17] fquip, the region that received 78 m illion dollars

[1:12:21] in dollar limit under current

[1:12:26] dollar limit under current federal law, this is to bump

[1:12:31] the 100 m illion to 200 million

[1:12:32] dollars, so another thing that's important in that bill.

[1:12:37] this is a n item that's older up

[1:12:39] up because I h aven't been with

[1:12:43] you all f or two years due to

[1:12:47] the p andemic, this is related to higgs beach, back in

[1:12:52] fiscal year 21 w hich seems lie e I

[1:12:54] -- like a long time ago, there

[1:12:57] was I nterior appropriations bill relating to higgs beach,

[1:13:01] you can s ee the language on

[1:13:06] the slide, but the issue is bit

[1:13:12] bit cited -- con -- constrict

[1:13:16] in its uses because it was

[1:13:19] through the l and and water conservation fund w hich is to

[1:13:23] improve t he land so, why this

[1:13:24] is important is because this property as you know, you

[1:13:28] have worked for many years to

[1:13:30] initiate a master plan, redevelopment of higgs beach,

[1:13:34] there's also been d iscussion about transferring portions

[1:13:37] of the property to other users,

[1:13:41] but all o f this is restricted receive federal grant m oney

[1:13:44] receive federal grant m oney for it decades ago, this

[1:13:48] language that we secured bac in fy21 I s important because

[1:13:52] it does t ry to say from department of environmental

[1:13:54] department of environmental protection and the national

[1:13:56] parks service t hat they really

[1:13:59] should be m uch more lenient with respect to the county's

[1:14:03] efforts t o improve or transfer

[1:14:06] or do whatever it n eeds to do

[1:14:09] with higgs beach, so again, another t hing we were able

[1:14:12] do, again, a couple of years

[1:14:12] ago, since I haven't had a wanted

[1:14:14] wanted to bring it up now.

[1:14:17] so, looking t o your federal agenda which is the document

[1:14:20] I believe that you all will be

[1:14:22] looking t o approve today, and certainly I'm happy t o talk

[1:14:27] about any o f these items, I'm

[1:14:27] going to run some o the why these t hings are

[1:14:30] why these t hings are important, I mentioned the

[1:14:33] request we made last year in successful in s ecuring, the

[1:14:37] successful in s ecuring, the earmark request, we made two

[1:14:41] on behalf o f this year, they include f unding for card

[1:14:45] sound bridge as well as funding for

[1:14:47] the m onroe county storm risk management project, t his

[1:14:49] would initiate the next phase o f the

[1:14:52] project which is known as planning, e ngineering and

[1:14:56] design, I'm s orry, the corps steps, this w ould be the next

[1:15:00] steps, this w ould be the next step in that process and

[1:15:04] hopefully getting us to the point w here we're doing

[1:15:05] construction. Specifically for that portion

[1:15:07] of the project, it is going to

[1:15:10] fund ultimately the goal is to

[1:15:12] fund [inaudible] and shore line stabilization along u.s.

[1:15:17] 1, na will be one of the m phases

[1:15:20] phases of the project so we're

[1:15:24] excited to have put these forward, congressman jimenez

[1:15:28] also has made these two requests on behalf of the

[1:15:32] county, v ery appreciative of his efforts t here, we don't

[1:15:35] know yet whether these have been funded, right now

[1:15:37] congress is b eginning the work

[1:15:39] on appropriations for fy23 websinger could h ave some

[1:15:41] early indications of our level

[1:15:41] of success within t he next two

[1:15:45] f few weeks, so I'll ha more to share s oon.

[1:15:50] we worked o n these requests with your s taff again

[1:15:52] internally trying to come u p with things that were both

[1:15:56] most pressing but also most realistic f or federal

[1:15:59] funding, I will say that 'earmark', you

[1:16:01] can't fund anything y ou want, fit w ithin some narrow boxes

[1:16:06] fit w ithin some narrow boxes requests we c ould come up

[1:16:08] requests we c ould come up with

[1:16:10] that were ready t o go and were

[1:16:14] applicable to the county. So, we've talked a little bit

[1:16:17] already about the c orps of engineers a nd how engaged

[1:16:20] they are now w ith a variety of

[1:16:24] initiatives on behalf o f the county, w e have talked tabt

[1:16:28] coastal r isk management project websinger n eed

[1:16:31] authorization to move t o construction, be&I talked

[1:16:37] about how w e're seeking fund

[1:16:40] tog kick start that u.s. 1

[1:16:41] work, we also long term, this assistance, building

[1:16:43] assistance, building elevation

[1:16:46] as well as flood mitt gracing projects and is the hardening

[1:16:51] of critical buildings so this

[1:16:51] is a large project, it could

[1:16:54] deliver a lot of benefit, I be

[1:16:57] be a l ong endeavor and it's

[1:17:03] something t hat you all will

[1:17:05] become more f luent in and I

[1:17:09] will certainly be w ork witching you all -- advocate

[1:17:14] on behalf o f this project in washington, we talked a bout

[1:17:18] the fkwqip project as well, the a rmy corps of engineers

[1:17:21] the a rmy corps of engineers sxit's an initiative for the

[1:17:25] community and is the key and funding going, and lisa

[1:17:27] funding going, and lisa mentioned the everglades

[1:17:29] restoration is critically important for the h ealth of

[1:17:33] florida bay, we n eed to improve the habitat t hat has

[1:17:38] been degraded o ver the years that is's o ccurred in the

[1:17:42] that is's o ccurred in the region, a nd I think there's

[1:17:47] been a lot of criticism ton federal government over

[1:17:53] ton federal government over ever -- everglades

[1:17:57] ever -- everglades restoration t f ederal

[1:18:02] government ma stepped u p and has proposed 2.3 billion

[1:18:07] has proposed 2.3 billion dollars f or everglades

[1:18:10] restoration tha,'s when you speak a bout the army corps of

[1:18:11] engineers, this is the largest

[1:18:14] project in the history of the most significantly federally

[1:18:18] most significantly federally funded project in the army

[1:18:20] corps of engineers so you c an

[1:18:23] think of all the different things they do across the

[1:18:26] country w ith respect to flood control or ports or beach

[1:18:29] restoration and this is t he number one construction

[1:18:32] project in terms of funding, so it is very significant and

[1:18:37] a l ot of federal commitment continues to restore the

[1:18:38] everglades, again t r eason why

[1:18:41] that's important to monroe county is to improve water

[1:18:45] quality I n florida bay, ther are specific projects I

[1:18:48] mentioned o n the slide deck, one is known taz modified

[1:18:53] waters, t he bridging of the trail project, right now they

[1:18:57] are adding culverts west tof new bridges that have been

[1:18:58] built, they decided they don't

[1:18:59] at this p oint believe they need additional b ridging, the

[1:19:02] culverts will be sufficient and that the bridging that is

[1:19:07] there n ow is working wonderfully, we h ope to see

[1:19:09] progress there, central everglades planning project is

[1:19:12] lead tog the construction tof initiative, I t will take well

[1:19:17] initiative, I t will take well more than a decade I'm su

[1:19:20] to build that project but I will

[1:19:23]

[1:19:25] administration's budget for this year to ko n

[1:19:27] construction on that project and another

[1:19:31] important p roject that's been a l ong time coming and is

[1:19:36] partially complete but not project, the effort is to get

[1:19:40] project, the effort is to get

[1:19:43] more water flowing south that right n ow they're

[1:19:45] right n ow they're constructing

[1:19:53] some permanent pump s tation step before t hat project is

[1:19:58] step before t hat project is the n ational flood program,

[1:20:01] the n ational flood program, we

[1:20:05] anticipate they w ill have to authorize this program, I t

[1:20:08] will expire at the end of this

[1:20:12] year, there's a w hole host of issues, t his is bingeing mo

[1:20:17] and m ore of a problem where you have flooding from

[1:20:21] weather, whether it's intense rainfall events or storms, I

[1:20:25] don't know if you k now what's national park, they're having

[1:20:28] national park, they're having tremendous flooding and h ave

[1:20:31] had t o close the entire national park which seems

[1:20:33] mind boggling to m e tha,'s how much

[1:20:36] water they've had, this I s a nationwide problem but it

[1:20:41] impacts you s ignificantly and significantly, so c ongress

[1:20:47] significantly, so c ongress will certainly extend the

[1:20:51] program, the nfip, they may

[1:20:53] consider an authorization, just a lot of disagreement on

[1:20:59] just a lot of disagreement on

[1:21:02] how t o address the problem, many people see the nfip as

[1:21:04] being c ompletely broken and in

[1:21:05] need of m assive transformation, the m irns

[1:21:08] ration just r eleased a proposal just a c ouple of

[1:21:11] days ago that would do a lot, it

[1:21:12] would change a lot with the lot

[1:21:14] lot with the availability of

[1:21:17] federal flood I nsurance and I won't get I nto those details

[1:21:22] now, the sides are far apart. A

[1:21:23] a part as an issue, its extends

[1:21:27] to be more geographically based s oit's not republican

[1:21:30] and I s democrats fighting the n fip, it tends to be

[1:21:35] the n fip, it tends to be

[1:21:39] dependent o n how significant flooding can be I n your

[1:21:44] community. Right now, rates for the nfip

[1:21:45] can increase over the year, so

[1:21:48] monroe county has been subjecting to congress for

[1:21:52] sometime now that we lower reasonable rate of 9% and

[1:21:55] reasonable rate of 9% and give

[1:21:58] people an o pportunity to more easily deal w ith rate

[1:22:02] increases that are likely to come.

[1:22:04] congress is t alking about affordability provisions, I

[1:22:07] will note that those in my going

[1:22:09] going to be s uper helpful to the

[1:22:13] keys and to your constituents but na's something they a re

[1:22:16] talking about as a way to sort

[1:22:18] of promote the equity piece of

[1:22:19] the n ational flood insurance you all may h ave heard of

[1:22:23] you all may h ave heard of risk

[1:22:27] rating 2.0, we talked with your floodplain manager

[1:22:31] earlier o n abthis issue, that new m odel for pricing flood

[1:22:36] insurance is fully being implemented, full steam

[1:22:37] ahead, I don't see a ny chance --

[1:22:41] well, n ot any chance, but I

[1:22:42] don't s ee a likely chance in changes the implementation of

[1:22:46] changes the implementation of this program, so for your

[1:22:50] constituent that is are struggling with these new

[1:22:53] policy premiums and are concerned t hat their rates

[1:22:55] are going to go through t he the

[1:22:58] roof which might be happening for some folks, I would

[1:23:02] encourage y ou to collect those

[1:23:05] stories and g et them to lisa

[1:23:07] so she can thn get them to m

[1:23:09] because I t hink we need those

[1:23:09] an nem dotes to share with of

[1:23:11] of what's really h appening with

[1:23:14] this new pricing model so that

[1:23:18] maybe in the future, they ca act on it.

[1:23:21] lisa also m entioned the national resources

[1:23:24] conservation service, t he emergency watershed

[1:23:26] protection program, this is a program

[1:23:31] that did deliver quite a bit help address marine debris in

[1:23:36] help address marine debris in canals and near shore waters

[1:23:39] after hurricane I rma. You know, o n one hand, it was

[1:23:41] a s uccessful program because a

[1:23:44] lot of work got done, on the

[1:23:47] other hand, I t was very difficult to work t hrough and

[1:23:50] they did not approve all of

[1:23:53] the analyses for cleanup in be desired.

[1:23:55] be desired. We are trying to work to

[1:23:58] ensure this program or another

[1:24:01] program c an better address marine debris I n the future,

[1:24:05] of course hurricane I rma will hits the keys even though

[1:24:08] hits the keys even though keep my fingers crossed that

[1:24:11] keep my fingers crossed that certainly n eed to have a

[1:24:16] certainly n eed to have a program t hat effectively

[1:24:17] helps address marine debris, I don't

[1:24:21] know that the nrcswp program a w hole coalition in

[1:24:26] a w hole coalition in washington to try t o address

[1:24:30] the p roblem. I will note though that the

[1:24:32] county administrator personally was involved I n

[1:24:35] getting these funds, I think the n rcs was surprised

[1:24:38] frankly by the idea they would spend

[1:24:41] the amount of m oney that they all

[1:24:43] all as much as they did which was

[1:24:46] not enough, and I think a l ot of

[1:24:48] of certainly want to n ote that

[1:24:50] certainly want to n ote that and c ertainly the delegation

[1:24:55] as well, senator rubio was significant in helping to

[1:25:00] push this forward, I don't believe

[1:25:04] senator scott w as in congress at the time or congressman

[1:25:09] jimenez, senator rubio did a county.

[1:25:11] county. Moving on to the next item,

[1:25:14] corals, s o, commissioner coldiron will be coming to

[1:25:18] washington next week to auk issue,

[1:25:20] issue, it doesn't take a rocket

[1:25:23] scientist to understand that corals are suffering

[1:25:27] throughout florida and it's tragic, there's not m uch more

[1:25:30] to say, the federal invests about 30 million

[1:25:34] invests about 30 million dollars I n overall coral

[1:25:39] funding p er year but -- and that's been consistent

[1:25:42] relatively speaking over 20

[1:25:46] plus years but the health of decline, we need to c hange

[1:25:53] decline, we need to c hange that, t he restoring resilient

[1:25:58] reefs a ct was introduced by senator rubio, we h ave been

[1:26:02] working diligently to try t o get t his legislation passed,

[1:26:06] it did pass the senate in

[1:26:09] 2020, t he last congress, it

[1:26:10] had t o be restarted which I

[1:26:12] didn't pass the hos at this

[1:26:14] time, it now in this congres

[1:26:15] has passed the house as part

[1:26:15] of a much larger bill that was

[1:26:20] was included in this other bill,

[1:26:24] so we a re so close and this

[1:26:26] bill will - - it's just going the federal g overnment uses

[1:26:28] the federal g overnment uses to

[1:26:29] try t o help improve the health

[1:26:33] of coral, it does propose to more

[1:26:35] more importantly it offers f unds

[1:26:38] for e mergency coral restoration w hen it's needed,

[1:26:41] it try tos fwet more funding down to local entities,

[1:26:45] whether I t taoes states or other entities like the

[1:26:48] county for instance to try to improve

[1:26:51] corals in a much more timely

[1:26:54] manner, the s cats quo has not

[1:26:55] worked over t he past 20 year, corals decline, congress has

[1:26:58] corals decline, congress has an opportunity right now to

[1:27:02] help improve and save w hat we for the f uture.

[1:27:04] for the f uture. I really do m rao ef this is

[1:27:07] the best chance right now to

[1:27:08] get t his bill passed, tla's why I'm h appy to have

[1:27:13] commissioner coldiron c ome to dc, she's g oing to be

[1:27:14] partnering with representative

[1:27:16] from broward county a nd martin

[1:27:20] county which is w here the florida c oral reef befwins,

[1:27:24] having meetings to encourage all of congress to finally

[1:27:33] pass this bill, a nd I will

[1:27:38] restoring resilient reef pact is supported by the entire

[1:27:41] delegation, they're supported by both senators and every

[1:27:44] single member o f the florida house d elegation, that's

[1:27:47] really, r eally significant, so, again, we're excited to

[1:27:50] push on t his next week and hopefully w e'll have good

[1:27:53] news later this year on the passage

[1:27:53] of this bill. I do want to talk briefly

[1:27:57] about the infa have you beening k hur bill because it

[1:28:02] is so I mportant, it was such an achievement for congress

[1:28:07] to pass this bill, I apologize

[1:28:07] that this conversation can pretty quickly, particularly

[1:28:09] pretty quickly, particularly because it is so big and so

[1:28:13] important and I t's so complicated, but I want to

[1:28:15] try to hit a few highlights, so

[1:28:18] you t alk about this 1.2 trillion dollar b ill,

[1:28:20] everyone thinks, when are we going to

[1:28:23] get our m oney and how are we

[1:28:26] going to get our money, you

[1:28:27] all have gotten some money maybe unbeknownst to you all,

[1:28:32] your airports have received money f rom the infrastructure

[1:28:34] bill, t here certainly are there will be o ther examples

[1:28:39] there will be o ther examples to work through its

[1:28:43] to work through its implementation, h alf was

[1:28:46] essentially maintaining that status quo with a bit more

[1:28:49] funding, so from 1.2 trillion,

[1:28:51] you're down to about 150 billion I n new spending, it

[1:28:55] is years s o that's 110 billion

[1:28:57] years s o that's 110 billion

[1:29:00] per year which is still a lot amount

[1:29:03] amount large

[1:29:10] large as you may have thought when

[1:29:14] you h eard the news, over that for transportation, much of

[1:29:17] for transportation, much of those funds though still will

[1:29:21] be granted by dot through formula f unds which means the

[1:29:25] funds flow to t he state and

[1:29:27] then the state has a lot of

[1:29:28] discretion as t o how to spend

[1:29:29] those funds, so not all of it in

[1:29:32] in big awards, h owever, some of

[1:29:33] it will b e. I will say that the

[1:29:38] infrastructure bill is really proposed to be and I think

[1:29:43] proposed to be and I think

[1:29:46] tla's a n important note, it's the o bama era stimulus bill

[1:29:48] the o bama era stimulus bill we

[1:29:52] had b ack in 2009, it's not on job creation or shovel

[1:29:56] readiness, obviously given it five year l ife, and it's

[1:29:57] meant to transform our

[1:29:58] infrastructure, I have noted what the administration

[1:30:02] priority ares f or the infrastructure law, I n ote

[1:30:05] those for t wo reasons, one, because climate resilience is

[1:30:08] one of the initiatives which I

[1:30:10] think relates v ery well to here, but I 'll note the

[1:30:13] here, but I 'll note the others

[1:30:16] as well, equity environmental justice a nd domestic

[1:30:20] manufacturing and labor, some as

[1:30:24] as a f it for monroe county as

[1:30:28] may compete for f unds in the to be a ware of.

[1:30:31] to be a ware of. This is a good visual

[1:30:34] representation of what the bill is o n the right versus

[1:30:37] what was initially proposed by

[1:30:40] the administration on the started o ut as 2.6 trillion,

[1:30:45] started o ut as 2.6 trillion, of new pendbacker spending

[1:30:48] of new pendbacker spending over five a dorers so it

[1:30:50] became one fifth of what the

[1:30:55] administration had lonelier proposed, just to g ive you a

[1:31:00] sense of scale and kiep of what it b ecame.

[1:31:02] I want today highlight a few

[1:31:06] programs relevant to county, one is the bridge investment

[1:31:10] program, there has not been a specific program just for

[1:31:13] bridge improvements, but congress did create this

[1:31:16] through the bill, t hey are providing 1 2.5 billion

[1:31:20] dollars over five years for an

[1:31:22] application period, this is a xet t ifz a pplication anteing

[1:31:26] nationwide, there is money available for these k inds of

[1:31:28] investments, I think it's certainly something w e'll be

[1:31:30] working with your t eam to identify whether or not I t's

[1:31:33] a good fit for a competitive application.

[1:31:36] I will note it also is in

[1:31:38] addition to a much larger of

[1:31:40] of florida I n which tallahassee has authority o ver.

[1:31:45] you may h ave heard about the brick program, fema's

[1:31:48] building resilient infrastructure in

[1:31:49] communities, this is what they

[1:31:53] renamed the p redisaster mitigation, you h ave made

[1:31:57] applications for these funds in the past t twin lakes

[1:32:00] project w ould have fit in category so w e did

[1:32:04] category so w e did for that as I described, bu

[1:32:09] for that as I described, bu this program, we'll have

[1:32:13] additional funding due to the infrastructure law, charging

[1:32:17] grants for ev infrastructure, invest in charging

[1:32:19] invest in charging infrastructure by t he federal

[1:32:23] government, ice s traight shot,

[1:32:25] everybody's on one road, you start t o build infrastructure

[1:32:28] and certain spacing so I think

[1:32:31] likely you'll see investment through the state m ore than

[1:32:36] likely in ev charging capabilities here in the keys

[1:32:39] in the near future, last but not l east t protectbacker

[1:32:43] protect grant programs is a transportation program that

[1:32:45] is specifically related to

[1:32:47] resilience, I w ill note it's only 1.4 billion dollars over

[1:32:52] five years which again sounds like a lot, when you're talk

[1:32:54] k about a nationwide

[1:32:56] competition, iet esnot all that much, you'll see how

[1:32:59] it's divided a mongst four programs,

[1:33:01] each of t hose four programs is

[1:33:04] going to be divided by five years because they're going

[1:33:07] to have application periods, more

[1:33:09] importantly, there's 7.3 billion from this program

[1:33:14] going to the state from formula f unds, they will have

[1:33:19] additional fund tog invest in these k ind of resilient

[1:33:20] transportation initiatives, so something that might be

[1:33:24] valuable to the county in t

[1:33:26] faou khu, I think that's it time

[1:33:28] time to speak with you all and

[1:33:31] happy to answer any questions you m ay have, thanks very

[1:33:33] much for the opportunity.

[1:33:33] >> thank you very m uch, any questions?

[1:33:37] >> no, I just w ant to say

[1:33:38] thank you f or an excellent report and update, very

[1:33:43] informative, thank you. >> thank you.

[1:33:47] >> great job, thank you. >> thank you.

[1:33:51] >> and hope you enjoyed your brief as it was.

[1:33:55] brief as it was. >> you know, I always say t

[1:33:58] next time will hopefully be longer.

[1:33:59] I'll bring the family next time, thank you very much.

[1:34:03] >> thank you. >> we'll hold you to that.

[1:34:05] >> sorry, mr. Mayor, rarely do

[1:34:12] we hear such good news out our federal partners and I

[1:34:17] haven't heard o f a federal cheery and forward thinking

[1:34:20] cheery and forward thinking and I 'm excited you're on our

[1:34:23] team and wish I could g o to dc

[1:34:25] but I can't, maybe next time. >> personally, I would like

[1:34:28] the spend as much of that transportation money as we

[1:34:33] can get o ur hands on. We have p lans.

[1:34:37] >> as we're about to hear I believe.

[1:34:38] >> yes. >> thank you.

[1:34:39] >> greg, I do have a question,

[1:34:43] when we're talking about the monroe county coastal storm

[1:34:47] management and the u.s. 1 revampment and that w as part

[1:34:49] of the army corps of engineers

[1:34:51] the, came I n and they did that

[1:34:55] three year study and we were

[1:34:55] told on more than one occasion, it's going to be

[1:34:59] put in a big bind and her we'll

[1:35:00] be with all of the other area

[1:35:04] that are also doing these

[1:35:05] types of study and is the

[1:35:07] likelihood of us getting picked

[1:35:13] picked out of it and funded was not

[1:35:17] very high, how do you see u some

[1:35:21] some of these projects funded?

[1:35:23] >> you know, I won't down play

[1:35:26] the difficulty of getting t he kind of f unding that's been

[1:35:30] recommended f or this project, I m ean, I mentioned this is

[1:35:34] going to be something that time.

[1:35:35] time. It is n ot easy to get new

[1:35:38] projects started by t he army corps because they have so

[1:35:42] much work already ongoing bu

[1:35:42] if you don't start, then -- don't have the plans

[1:35:46] don't have the plans developed, then t he next time

[1:35:49] a storm h its, you have sort of

[1:35:51] -- there are some opportunities to get this

[1:35:54] funded both t hrough the regular f ederal funding

[1:35:57] cycles as well as should a storm

[1:35:59] hit, the c ongress often will make

[1:36:02] funding a vailable and will fund some projects that have

[1:36:05] basically been studied even if

[1:36:06] they haven't been funnelbacker

[1:36:10] funded, if anything else, it some

[1:36:14] some funding a fter another disaster

[1:36:17] but we're c ertainly working hard as is congressman

[1:36:21] jimenez and certainly with the support

[1:36:25] of senators r uby and scott to

[1:36:28] push forward and get this planning work started so they

[1:36:32] can be fully ready to break

[1:36:32] ground and do work as soon know,

[1:36:34] know, clear

[1:36:49] clear answer, it's a challenge,

[1:36:52] we're g oing to work to work on it.

[1:36:56] >> the plan was already a

[1:36:58] billion dollars and w e were fund

[1:37:00] fund this, wla's t he point of

[1:37:04] having the plan, luckily we had a nother storm two years

[1:37:07] later and all of a sudden

[1:37:10] money became available and we

[1:37:13] had to plan, here it is, an

[1:37:18] they got fund, that's what ready, here I t is, hopefully

[1:37:23] ready, here I t is, hopefully storm, but maybe money will

[1:37:26] storm, but maybe money will become available, so tla's

[1:37:27] why it's important to have a plan. Er

[1:37:29] >> having sat up here for

[1:37:31] more than a couple of days now, I realize that

[1:37:35] hurricanes are problems but they also

[1:37:35] create opportunities if ready to take advantage of

[1:37:39] ready to take advantage of

[1:37:42] them and I think that's what and m onroe county typically

[1:37:47] and m onroe county typically does a pretty good job of

[1:37:51] being r eady to take advantage

[1:37:56] of those opportunities, so thank you v ery much, both of

[1:38:02] you, for what you do becaus

[1:38:05] it's -- and lisa, it always

[1:38:06] amazes me t hat your depth of owe you a great deal.

[1:38:12] owe you a great deal. Thank y ou. >> thank you.

[1:38:17] >> mayor, did you want to take

[1:38:18] a b reak? >> no.

[1:38:19] >> we do need a motion on that

[1:38:22] item. >> move t o approve. >> second.

[1:38:24] er >> we have a motion and a

[1:38:29] second, h earing no objection, the I tem is approved.

[1:38:30] >> can I make a motion to go

[1:38:35] to the restroom.

[1:49:05] >> and we will take a short >> I'll second that.

[1:49:10] >> I'll second that. ( meeting I n brief recess ).

[2:03:02] er so moved. Er >> second.

[2:03:04] er >> we have a motion ask a

[2:03:07] second, h earing no objection, approved.

[2:03:10] >> alright, the last thing is in early this morning,

[2:03:15] in early this morning, remember the collins davis

[2:03:18] case, one o f our takings cases

[2:03:20] that started in 2004, we think

[2:03:24] we have t he final, final,

[2:03:26] final last ruling and that

[2:03:28] case will f inally be put to

[2:03:29] bed, so t he third district court of appeal this morning

[2:03:34] affirmed the lower court ruling on h ow the attorney's

[2:03:36] fees were handled, there was a

[2:03:38] dispute between t he property owner's former attorney a nd

[2:03:41] their current a ttorney, we were somehow dragged into

[2:03:43] that dispute, but 18 years later

[2:03:46] and I t's done, what started they were demanding, it w as

[2:03:51] they were demanding, it w as about a d ozen property owners

[2:03:54] demanding I think it was the

[2:03:56] number I heard early on wa

[2:03:59] like 30 m illion, we ended up

[2:04:02] paying out from the county side under 300 thousand for

[2:04:05] the j udgment, the fees, costs while to get those things

[2:04:08] while to get those things >> that's the understatement

[2:04:11] >> that's the understatement of the century.

[2:04:15] >> so, that's my report. >> well, congratulations,

[2:04:19] thank y ou. >> okay, next I tem.

[2:04:23] er yes, y our next item is o

[2:04:25] page 10, item o3, it's my

[2:04:28] understanding ms. Hague w ill be here by zoom, presentation

[2:04:32] under the c ontract with hdr inc. For t he roads

[2:04:36] vulnerability analysis and stained road and is related

[2:04:37] stained road and is related services, of a project update

[2:04:42] on the final vulnerable and criticality assessment

[2:04:47] results billion for t he roadsters

[2:04:52] billion for t he roadsters adaptation capital plan.

[2:04:55] >> good m orning, so, today -- good morning.

[2:04:59] here we a re at the end of o

[2:05:01] road elevation planning project, so t oday will be

[2:05:03] your we will have one later in th

[2:05:07] we will have one later in th

[2:05:10] fall for a policy discussion, so today you're going to hear

[2:05:14] from emilio about what the having good n ews about that,

[2:05:17] having good n ews about that, we're going t o show how

[2:05:19] public participation can b e enhanced,

[2:05:20] we're going to show h ow the

[2:05:22] public can go o n there and

[2:05:25] look up t heir road and see

[2:05:26] where it is on the plan and

[2:05:28] what the plans are for that, bit m ore about just

[2:05:30] bit m ore about just everything

[2:05:32] that's going on, what a typical road elevation

[2:05:35] project looks like and what these

[2:05:38] conceptual designs have done and you're going the hear

[2:05:42] emilio talk about h ow these plan ares going to be

[2:05:44] uploaded to the website, I think you

[2:05:46] heard this morning how all these p lans are important, so

[2:05:50] in our next item at 11:30, how

[2:05:51] how we used a ll of this

[2:05:54] information that we u sed in these projects and how

[2:05:56] they're feeding into our grant

[2:05:56] applications for the florida program a nd hopefully

[2:06:01] florida program a nd hopefully other g rant programs too, and

[2:06:06] I w ant to welcome judy clark joining u s, emilio is with

[2:06:10] you there t oday as is aaron di

[2:06:12] and our o ther team member is you again, with that, we're

[2:06:17] you again, with that, we're going to go ahead and start.

[2:06:22] >> thank you, good morning, commissioners.

[2:06:25] I imagine will the presentation be shown, ronda?

[2:06:28] yeah, I'm waiting.

[2:06:32] >> just give him a minute. Er yeah, it will happen.

[2:06:55] er yeah, it will happen.

[2:07:00] >> good morning, judy.

[2:07:21] >> good m orning.

[2:07:24] >> that is the the follow up w ith.

[2:07:28] follow up w ith. >> it's a lot of images.

[2:07:33] rhonda, you s ee the presentation?

[2:07:38] >> yes, we can see it.

[2:07:47] we can see it. >> you can be the star tof

[2:07:52] show while you're presenting. >> okay. Well, g ood morning,

[2:07:54] commissioners, again, thankers for the o pportunity, it's

[2:07:56] been working on this project, so

[2:08:02] working on this project, so appreciate you haerg us out,

[2:08:07] appreciate you haerg us out, I'm e milio with engineering,

[2:08:11] the lead project work witching

[2:08:12] our teamm ates, erin and greg mentioned the analysis has

[2:08:16] mentioned the analysis has been complete, today you'll

[2:08:19] see a c ompletion of the conceptual design, the cost

[2:08:23] estimates a nd also the adaptation plan what we have

[2:08:28] here from o ur project areas, know

[2:08:29] know everything starts off w ith the

[2:08:34] sea l evel rise projections, these are c onsistent with the

[2:08:38] currently adopted p rojections for t he southeast regional

[2:08:41] climate compactfinger t hese were issued b ack in 2019,

[2:08:43] what they indicate at this p oint is

[2:08:45] by 2025, we can anticipate looking at the water levels

[2:08:48] to date, it's going the increase

[2:08:50] about an inch and a h alf

[2:08:53] within the next three and a an additional 10fishmongers

[2:08:57] an additional 10fishmongers and a h alf by 2045, an

[2:09:02] additional 11 I nches by 2060 by

[2:09:04] by 2100, you're looking within

[2:09:08] the next 78 yaoe, 5.5 feet of

[2:09:11] increase, you may k now that not l inear, it's

[2:09:13] not l inear, it's exponentially

[2:09:15] growth and this takes factors other t han historical date

[2:09:19] taxer it looks at the melting and all t hose other stuff

[2:09:22] that is factored in so there are

[2:09:26] several things looked I nto that stuff, but I wanted to

[2:09:31] give you a perspective, we're foot tall p erson.

[2:09:35] foot tall p erson. >> just to clarify that, is

[2:09:38] that increased from this year started these projections?

[2:09:41] started these projections? >> what you're showing here,

[2:09:45] correct, from 2 025 is we're looking at being able t o

[2:09:49] provide t hat projection, the addition is I n between those

[2:09:54] segments so, the 10.5 inches

[2:09:54] will be from 2025 to 2045,

[2:09:58] you can ant p ate based on

[2:10:02] projections it will be increasing by 10.5 inches.

[2:10:06] the s ea level rise provides the basis, but down here,

[2:10:09] especially in south n ror abasing also in monroe

[2:10:13] county, it also a ffects the king

[2:10:16] tides, we d o see them, they exacerbate when y ou have

[2:10:21] storms out there, we can with

[2:10:22] the l els and the value wes

[2:10:23] have here, we can look at

[2:10:27] future predictions of what's going to take place and how

[2:10:32] it's going to increase, 2045, of

[2:10:33] of depth, roadway segments and

[2:10:37] increasing all the way to 3.5

[2:10:40] feet of d epth by 2060, these cannot ignore currently we do

[2:10:43] cannot ignore currently we do

[2:10:45] have that vulnerable, there

[2:10:49] are l ow lying areas where you

[2:10:53] have flooding and I t's fot

[2:10:55] only the fact that you see

[2:10:56] salt water or sea level rise if

[2:11:00] if it stays on t he surface longer

[2:11:02] times, it p ercolate and is you

[2:11:06] will see the flood areas throughout the county.

[2:11:11] as part o f the project overall, a recap we have done

[2:11:16] throughout the time, we can make the keys more resilient,

[2:11:20] we did an evaluation of several y ears, the short term

[2:11:25] ask long term, we looked at 2025, b etween five year

[2:11:29] intervals 2 , 160, 2500, we looked at sea level rise

[2:11:31] which is throughout websinger a dded

[2:11:35] the component t of king tide

[2:11:37] tha,'s an item you can see

[2:11:40] today, it's I n the today and

[2:11:41] something that was able t o allow us to model and

[2:11:45] identify the I mpacts of the king ti

[2:11:48] for a ll the county maintained roadways, we were able to

[2:11:52] look and extreme events, a ll this

[2:11:56] and extreme events, a ll this was t o look at those while

[2:12:01] was t o look at those while projected w ater surface

[2:12:04] elevations, conducting vulnerability and

[2:12:08] prioritization evaluation, we saw the I r yas of concern,

[2:12:13] when will t hese areas are going t o be impacted, define

[2:12:17] what are the project elements,

[2:12:18] and permitting to evaluate the preliminary cost estimates.

[2:12:24] so, the I nitiative for the pronlt, we started with six

[2:12:29] main tasks, tasks 1-3 have been completed websinger ear

[2:12:32] at the tail end of 4, 5 a 6,

[2:12:35] the p olicy review, the hope to

[2:12:39] be wrapping it up within the next month.

[2:12:40] I think I t's important, I want

[2:12:43] to touch base a gain, the vulnerability a nd the

[2:12:47] criticality, that was key to be able to identify not only

[2:12:51] identify the vulnerable areas but h ow do we prioritize the

[2:12:56] segments, we started off by every r oad is equally

[2:12:59] important, we wanted to provide a n unbias assessment

[2:13:03] of all the roadways, that took

[2:13:06] six m onths of data gatherin all the d ata, we start

[2:13:09] all the d ata, we start witched

[2:13:12] a two s tep process, the firs websinger h ad 1200

[2:13:15] websinger h ad 1200 independent

[2:13:18] roadway siemens that we were analyzing all t his through

[2:13:23] gis, that's a n important tool we use throughout, we

[2:13:26] evaluated t he environmental factors o r the structural

[2:13:28] integrity o f these roadway siemens and d eveloped five

[2:13:31] factors and looked at the surface I mplementation, the

[2:13:35] groundwater clearance, the impacts o f wave humdinger, we

[2:13:38] had d ata about the existing conditions of t he pavement,

[2:13:39] we met with the planning

[2:13:41] department, w ith the county planning department a nd we

[2:13:45] were able to prioritize what are those f actors we truly

[2:13:50] want to f ocus on, it doesn't aren't important, r oadway

[2:13:54] aren't important, r oadway surface inundation and the

[2:13:55] groundwater clearance which la

[2:13:58] the h igher percentage, it and t ailor the assessment to

[2:14:02] and t ailor the assessment to client.

[2:14:05] client. The groundwater here

[2:14:08] the groundwater here clearance

[2:14:11] is important because the lime rock of the keys almost

[2:14:18] provides a ratio of a one to

[2:14:21] one sea level rise in the

[2:14:22] groundwater s o when the sea groundwater level goes up, we

[2:14:26] groundwater level goes up, we where you're going to have

[2:14:29] where you're going to have high groundwater and in a

[2:14:33] couple of years, that will b surface water in that case.

[2:14:36] we were able to o btain a vulnerability score for e ach

[2:14:39] one o f those 1200 segments it ideas the areas of

[2:14:41] it ideas the areas of concern,

[2:14:44] we needed to look at how do we

[2:14:47] prioritize these areas, this criticality analysis, we

[2:14:49] criticality analysis, we looked at those factors

[2:14:53] inxlaouns u r oused by the human nature, we had 7

[2:14:56] factors here which is more than the

[2:15:00] other one a nd startd off with the n umber of residential

[2:15:04] the n umber of residential units, critical facility,

[2:15:07] environmental factors w here evacuation route and then

[2:15:09] evacuation route and then also

[2:15:12] the u se of the particular parcel.

[2:15:14] and again t hrough coordination

[2:15:17] with the county, we were able factors which w ere the

[2:15:21] factors which w ere the vulnerability score, the

[2:15:23] number of r esidential units and the r oadway associated

[2:15:27] with critical f acilities. Again, not that the virtual

[2:15:28] is important, it's v ery

[2:15:30] important, we're talk about existing roadways so there's

[2:15:34] ways to mitigate that, there's

[2:15:36] ways of mitigating that right-of-way impact, those

[2:15:40] can be managed and engineered

[2:15:44] without c reating, you're not carving a b rand new roadway

[2:15:48] and w iping out environmental features which would be

[2:15:49] critical. Before we jump into how we

[2:15:52] developed the project a reas and t he cost estimate, I want

[2:15:57] to give you a quick update of approach the adaptation

[2:16:00] approach the adaptation improvements. Previous presentation, you've

[2:16:02] seen there's different typical

[2:16:04] sections all throughout, even though 90% of t he pronlt

[2:16:08] limit ares residential in nature televising's different

[2:16:10] typical, that varies depending

[2:16:12] on the ground elevation t right o f way width, how clo

[2:16:16] the properties may be there and

[2:16:17] and so on, so t here's several

[2:16:19] factors that allows u s to approach that, however, we

[2:16:24] did have a very similar unique

[2:16:25] approach and that's an example

[2:16:28] here of the w ay we approach

[2:16:31] the analysis of a ll the [inaudible] on tavernier

[2:16:34] [inaudible] on tavernier ocean

[2:16:37] shores as c ase study, it's a rod t hat it's abutting

[2:16:41] environmental a rea, stinger road, you can s ee the

[2:16:42] right-of-way where the properties, where the fence

[2:16:46] is, you h ave some utilities, the existing -- the lowest

[2:16:52] the existing -- the lowest

[2:16:55] part of the roadway elevation at the projections, water by

[2:16:59] at the projections, water by 2025, s ea rise alone is

[2:17:03] anticipated to go up 2.26 feet, t hat's 16 inches above

[2:17:05] that existing low ground

[2:17:08] area, so we look at as part of the

[2:17:15] adaptation part o f it is in

[2:17:18] this particular case, y ou can it, a concrete barrier wall

[2:17:20] it, a concrete barrier wall mitigate those environmental

[2:17:23] mitigate those environmental impacts a nd right-of-way

[2:17:27] impacts a nd collect the stormwater and added the

[2:17:30] stormwater system, this is 16 inches above the existing

[2:17:32] site today and we've a dded a

[2:17:34] stormwater or a closed stormwater system, what t his

[2:17:39] does is by 2045 when sea level

[2:17:43] rise goes up to that 2.26, w

[2:17:45] know that r oadway is going to

[2:17:48] be dry most o f the year,

[2:17:49] however king tides are ant in

[2:17:52] in avd, it will exceed the

[2:17:55] existing surface, that's when you h ave the system being

[2:17:58] able to pump that watt t ore the

[2:18:01] system, remember the king sides a re a temporary

[2:18:04] condition, they're able k eep that roadway dry in that

[2:18:08] particular case, you could raise the r oadway more in

[2:18:10] this particular case, you would

[2:18:12] have to raise it by an

[2:18:13] additional 14 inches in o rder to guarantee that at least

[2:18:16] you can t ry to maintain it dry

[2:18:17] all year round, a t that point, you

[2:18:20] will have right-of-way impacts

[2:18:21] and you have to analyze furthermore e ven the

[2:18:25] accessibility to some of these

[2:18:26] property the higher y ou raise it, the more you will

[2:18:29] impocket those components. In a similar manner,

[2:18:33] [inaudible] road and also here

[2:18:35] in tavernier ocean shores, we chose this one because you

[2:18:41] don't have environmental on both sides, we have a wider

[2:18:47] right of way, similar manner, there's a higher elevation,

[2:18:51] this has 1.64 feet avd existing, when you look at

[2:18:54] sea level r ise of 2045 tha,'s

[2:18:55] osier inches from the existing

[2:18:59] ground, in a similar manner, roadway, approximately 10

[2:19:02] roadway, approximately 10 inches above the existing

[2:19:06] ground, that's the edge of pavements and we added a

[2:19:10] stormwater system here, for sea level r ise for 2045,

[2:19:12] you'll be a ble to maintain roadway dry there a nd when

[2:19:14] roadway dry there a nd when you

[2:19:17] do have those king tides situations, the stormwater

[2:19:20] system will be able to mitigate them, this is an

[2:19:22] approach we use all throughout

[2:19:24] but in some c ases also and

[2:19:27] here also again if you would

[2:19:28] like to m aintain the roadway drier a ll throughout and make

[2:19:33] the increase because you do have the right-of-way, you

[2:19:35] may minimize some o f the impacts

[2:19:37] to be able to increase those

[2:19:38] additional 14 inches to be above t he king tide waters

[2:19:43] and provide that dry there, t he

[2:19:47] stormwater system f rom the from the permanent

[2:19:49] requirement x you don't c ontribute to any

[2:19:52] flooding along the properties. Third option here and t he

[2:19:55] last one here that we have -- go

[2:20:00] ahead, commissioner. >> could we go back, my

[2:20:04] impression is in 2045, people

[2:20:06] in that neighborhood will be

[2:20:09] able to d rive the road if we

[2:20:11] elevate it and be dry, and

[2:20:13] when they t urn off into their

[2:20:13] yards, they h ave z will have have

[2:20:18] have we accomplished?

[2:20:20] >> some p roperty so it

[2:20:22] varies, - - some property it varies, some of t hem are

[2:20:27] high, some of them are low, and you

[2:20:29] may h ave some circumstances there, the roadway system

[2:20:32] will be able to capture the king

[2:20:35] tide conditions and a ddress

[2:20:35] it, but a ny sea level rise if

[2:20:37] you have a low property or come framing the backyard,

[2:20:42] the system will not directly be

[2:20:43] collecting that w ater there, depending again and t hose are

[2:20:46] also some o f the circumstances, it goes with

[2:20:50] raising the r oad, the higher

[2:20:52] you raise I t, you build up a

[2:20:55] little berm I n that area, so

[2:20:55] that is a factor of how much the

[2:20:57] the roadway in addition to the

[2:21:02] other components as r ight of way a nd other impacts.

[2:21:06] >> so, the individual home owners will have to b e

[2:21:10] looking at additional elevations to

[2:21:13] match that of the road if they

[2:21:17] don't want to turn off into road?

[2:21:20] road? >> there's -- and erin will

[2:21:22] touch m ore on this information

[2:21:24] because I t's comprehensive approach, it is p art of a

[2:21:27] comprehensive approach at one point, and we saw it

[2:21:29] at one point, and we saw it on

[2:21:33] shau u shaw drive when they

[2:21:34] install t ed tefp rare dams

[2:21:38] where it served its purpose,

[2:21:41] it kept t he water from come

[2:21:43] ining there, if you have low

[2:21:44] ground elevation t salt wate seeps f rom the grouped, so

[2:21:47] raise t hing ground comprehensively in the area,

[2:21:49] that will b e an ultimate

[2:21:53] solution. >> I think it's necessary for

[2:21:56] the p ublic to understand that

[2:21:59] at great cost, we can elevate of the cost.

[2:22:04] of the cost. The end o f the cost is whe

[2:22:05] they elevate their property

[2:22:05] as going

[2:22:10] going to have to change some of o

[2:22:14] codes in order to allow them

[2:22:17] to do t hat. There's a m yriad of issues

[2:22:21] all elevations that present

[2:22:24] elevations that present policy

[2:22:27] would n ot allow, so this can long road.

[2:22:31] long road. >> yes. >> a long, windy road.

[2:22:37] >> yes. >> well, --

[2:22:40] >> you noticed staff laughed anybody else, t hey know

[2:22:44] anybody else, t hey know they're supposed to l augh.

[2:22:47] >> one thing that is pornts,

[2:22:49] all throughout, one t hing we solution, again w ebsinger

[2:22:51] solution, again w ebsinger cannot always apply t he same

[2:22:55] for a ll, there's some circumstances, like for

[2:22:58] example t elevising's a small segment here we identified

[2:23:01] that the approaches of this particular road in here,

[2:23:05] point view, h ave a good existing

[2:23:08] elevation, there's a low dip on the 90 degree elbow

[2:23:12] elevation there, so you're looking at that low elevation

[2:23:15] there, when y ou are thinking about providing a s olution,

[2:23:16] it doesn't seem practical to

[2:23:19] provide a whole pump station system and invest thaul for

[2:23:24] just 200 feet of raise thing

[2:23:25] roadway, so I w anted to bring did e valuate each location,

[2:23:30] did e valuate each location, when we s ee there's enough

[2:23:32] right-of-way, you d on't have the properties abutting on

[2:23:33] the side, if you raise the roadway

[2:23:35] you, ear not going the contribute to the f looding

[2:23:39] and we're n ot winding the asphalt

[2:23:41] footprint, you're able to raise the roadway, be a ble to

[2:23:46] address t he permitting requirements without affecting

[2:23:50] the e xisting [inaudible] and being able to implement the

[2:23:55] improvement and not p rovide a supplemental with a pump

[2:23:56] system, rather than raising it

[2:23:59] to try to meet the sea level

[2:24:02] rise in t his particular case,

[2:24:04] you r aise a roadway, it will ground with n o stormwater

[2:24:08] ground with n o stormwater system, when sea level rise

[2:24:10] takes place, it will be no king

[2:24:11] king tide conditions, it will not

[2:24:13] be an issue, so this is something that some

[2:24:17] particular cases w as evaluated all

[2:24:19] throughout wherever possible impacts and m ore important

[2:24:22] impacts and m ore important the construction costs.

[2:24:28] the neighborhood area, so as you recall, w e got a

[2:24:33] criticality value for e ach of those 1200 roadway segments,

[2:24:34] when we s tarted looking at it,

[2:24:37] it doesn't seem practical to have 1200 individual roadway

[2:24:40] projects so, we started wrapping them and identifying

[2:24:44] into particular project areas how t o implement that, we

[2:24:47] how t o implement that, we came

[2:24:51] out with 83 comprehensive areas all t hroughout the keys

[2:24:55] extending f rom [inaudible] road all the way down the ke

[2:25:00] west, w e're able to graphically place t hem in the

[2:25:02] gis and [inaudible] a little bit more because this is

[2:25:06] available on the project website, you can see where

[2:25:08] those p roject areas are, and here's a quick summary, I

[2:25:13] know it's a lot of dots but thi

[2:25:15] shows from here the upper keys

[2:25:20] show casing w hat are those project o r neighborhood areas

[2:25:24] and then up a little bit more

[2:25:25] on the adaptation plan, the red corresponds t o those

[2:25:28] plans vulnerable to 2025, the

[2:25:31] mrao u, vulnerable by 2030. Available on the website?

[2:25:33] available on the website? .

[2:25:34] er it's o n the project website

[2:25:38] and I have a section here navigate and access the

[2:25:41] navigate and access the information.

[2:25:43] . Er thank you.

[2:25:45] >> and then you see the lower all

[2:25:49] all throughout that pretty much

[2:25:52] with eel work our way down t

[2:25:54] the k ey west area, this is the c ounty maintained

[2:25:58] the c ounty maintained unincorporated maintained roadway s ections.

[2:26:03] now, we h ave those project is we w ent ahead and

[2:26:07] is we w ent ahead and developed

[2:26:09] the conceptual plans for each

[2:26:10] one o f these areas, this wa you

[2:26:13] you two things, it gives you the

[2:26:18] praot fript -- footprint of

[2:26:18] your project limit and is assess what a re your

[2:26:21] assess what a re your environmental issue a nd is

[2:26:26] constraints w e will encounter estimate, we took that in,

[2:26:29] estimate, we took that in, adaptation plan a nd the

[2:26:32] adaptation plan a nd the program c ost, in summary, we

[2:26:35] looked at f rit the adaptation plan by y ear of projected

[2:26:40] impact, s o by 2025, being considered as a year

[2:26:42] projected vulnerability, we found t he

[2:26:44] upper keys, you'll be a ble to have 16 neighborhood areas

[2:26:49] that will become vulnerable and t hen four phased

[2:26:51] neighborhood areas is p art of a neighborhood area, for

[2:26:55] example, you have a whole vulnerable by 2 025 and the

[2:26:59] vulnerable by 2 025 and the rest may be vulnerable by

[2:27:02] 2035 and there's t hat option to

[2:27:05] implement it in a phased approach, t o not implement

[2:27:10] everything at once, you c an, but I t gives you that

[2:27:12] marketability to address those areas of concern.

[2:27:17] we also have in the middle

[2:27:20] keys and the lower keys sx,

[2:27:22] what was interesting is that by 2025, if we're looking a

[2:27:26] the 2045 projections, that includes by 2045, we ant pate

[2:27:29] the 5 0% of those neighborhood

[2:27:29] areas w ill be vulnerable, falls in within that

[2:27:37] falls in within that particular year.

[2:27:41] this is in total 35 complet neighborhood areas, 14

[2:27:46] [inaudible] n eighborhood areas, 888 million dollars and

[2:27:49] the p ump stations itself, we annual operation and

[2:27:53] annual operation and maintenance c ost, the

[2:27:54] electricity, the maintenance for a particular period and

[2:27:58] for t he year, we're looking at

[2:28:02] at least for all the projects implemented a t once, 1.6

[2:28:05] million d ollars of annual operational costs. .

[2:28:06] inger is this slide available is

[2:28:09] is there a way you c an get this

[2:28:13] to us? >> yes, y es, we'll work with

[2:28:17] rhonda, I t's not available on the website itself websinger

[2:28:23] can work with rhonda and be able to provide that.

[2:28:27] >> the lower keys cost estimate.

[2:28:28] >> 657 million in the lower keys. .

[2:28:32] inger I t's hard to see on that.

[2:28:34] >> yeah, up t here, it doesn't show.

[2:28:37] >> you can see the upper

[2:28:40] keys, the lower k eys, that's the one

[2:28:45] that had 5 -- 6z 5 mile lower keys.

[2:28:48] lower keys. >> this is rhonda, I wanted

[2:28:50] to bring your attention the fact

[2:28:53] there a re 35 neighborhood areas f or this year, 2025,

[2:28:58] you'll hear u s discuss this

[2:28:58] when we g et to our resilient discussion, these are t he

[2:29:04] discussion, these are t he neighborhood pareses we're

[2:29:09] choosing from, from our grant applications.

[2:29:12] >> so, this is 2025, if year

[2:29:15] year of projected vulnerability, at

[2:29:17] the end, you will see the in

[2:29:20] in the upper keys, you c an see

[2:29:24] less area t hat is are anticipated by 2030, the

[2:29:26] lower keys, there was nothing I n the

[2:29:29] middle keys, you can see by 2030, that that's a n

[2:29:33] additional 10% of t he neighborhood areas for 2045

[2:29:37] for a t otal of approximately 18 miles, so an initial

[2:29:41] construction cost of 179 million and o n yule

[2:29:44] operational c ost of 139 thousand for this area.

[2:29:47] >> I have another question. How do you pull the trigger

[2:29:52] on those dates b ecause we all

[2:29:57] know that f looding starts a

[2:30:00] little bit a few days a year, year, a little more department

[2:30:04] year, a little more department along.

[2:30:04] along. Where a long that progression

[2:30:07] did y ou say, okay, this is problem?

[2:30:12] problem? Now, remember, it -- and I

[2:30:20] now, remember, it -- and I

[2:30:23] agree w ith you, we f it's a

[2:30:25] dynamic, we look ted at 2045 accuracy of the lidar, that's

[2:30:28] accuracy of the lidar, that's the benefit o f having done

[2:30:30] that, we were able to identify

[2:30:31] those low l ying areas and look

[2:30:34] at the information so be able remember the roadway

[2:30:38] remember the roadway sometimes, they're not plateau

[2:30:41] in all asepses, they're vary rid and d ifferent, with that,

[2:30:46] we're a ble to clearly see a those a reas, that's the main

[2:30:50] tool we use to be able to

[2:30:52] identify those areas and then

[2:30:53] we pretty m uch graph them and

[2:30:56] are able to look at by 2025

[2:30:58] which a re the areas we're

[2:31:00] going to be doing, we had th

[2:31:01] total r esult, those 83 is for reach 2045, y ou can

[2:31:04] reach 2045, y ou can anticipate

[2:31:05] all those a reas will be vulnerable.

[2:31:09] we then started working ower back and then because

[2:31:13] everything doesn't happen a t once, it happens by area or

[2:31:16] by time period, by 2025, bew were

[2:31:17] able to identify those areas that will be impacted by

[2:31:22] king tides, 2030 and so on, we

[2:31:22] worked our way up until we got

[2:31:24] that total. >> let me stop you because

[2:31:27] you're giving me ra lot of

[2:31:28] information but I'm not sure

[2:31:31] you g ot my question, my the road is too much?

[2:31:36] the road is too much? >> no, in this particular

[2:31:40] case, I a pologize, remember that in o ur case here, we're

[2:31:44] looking a t just being in the roadway I n the direction of

[2:31:46] the roadway overall how l ong the

[2:31:47] the sea level r ise, that gives you

[2:31:50] more of -- you can say that's

[2:31:52] a permanent c ondition, when that water exceeds the

[2:31:55] surface, you can anticipate you're going to have water on

[2:31:59] that roadway for longer periods of time, the king

[2:32:00] tide is a more temporary condition

[2:32:03] and t hat varies overall, but trying to s ee when it

[2:32:06] trying to s ee when it exceeded

[2:32:07] but also not to confuse you more, groundwater I s very

[2:32:12] important to be a ble to keep

[2:32:14] track o f the roadways because

[2:32:16] even though you d on't see it affecting the structural

[2:32:20] affecting the structural integrity o f the roadway

[2:32:22] eventually to collapse, t la's important to monitor that

[2:32:26] there, for the design, we're looking a t whenever there

[2:32:29] will be flooding on the surface, we

[2:32:35] considered that as being already impactful f or the

[2:32:43] community. >> thank you.

[2:32:46] >> so, by 2035, we had the

[2:32:49] upper k eys, the lower keys, neighborhood areas, t his

[2:32:51] neighborhood areas, t his well,

[2:32:54] about 18 miles again of construction cossets and 307

[2:33:01] construction cossets and 307 thousand in cost estimates.

[2:33:05] the r emaining period between 2035 and 2045, we were able

[2:33:07] to capture here, y ou did have

[2:33:10] project ins t he upper keys, keys that completed alt 30%

[2:33:13] keys that completed alt 30% of

[2:33:16] the neighborhood areas, I can give you that total area that

[2:33:21] we identified and w ith a total

[2:33:25] of about 738 million and 368 thousand in o peration and

[2:33:30] maintenance, we sum up all

[2:33:31] those values, you c an see by includes the neighborhood

[2:33:34] includes the neighborhood areas, includes t he

[2:33:39] comprehensive and t he phased neighborhood areas, t hat's 49

[2:33:46] neighborhood areas, t hat's 49 additional ten areas, by

[2:33:52] additional ten areas, by 2035,

[2:33:56] 10 additional areas, that's 9.6 m illion per mile, I

[2:34:01] believe y ou've seen before some values was 8.8 billion,

[2:34:05] the reason of the reduction, identified some areas t hat

[2:34:06] identified some areas t hat may

[2:34:08] not r equire a pump station system, t hat itself translate

[2:34:13] intros some cost savings all throughout, there a re some

[2:34:17] segments that's -- that's where t hat 200 million

[2:34:19] difference overall is connected.

[2:34:19] then you can see also, you can

[2:34:23] anticipate with all t he projects being in place, at

[2:34:27] least 3 million dollar annual operation a nd maintenance

[2:34:30] cost as well f or the pump station

[2:34:35] and is the operation and maintenance.

[2:34:38] for 2 045 in total, it's going out

[2:34:44] out of the 311 miles that the

[2:34:48] county maintains, that's 53% countywide.

[2:34:53] countywide. Also along these areas, you

[2:34:57] can f ind about -- this is the r esidential units along

[2:35:02] the r esidential units along the county maintained

[2:35:05] roadways, one o f the factors was to find where those

[2:35:10] residential densities a re, so that's what we're capturing

[2:35:14] and t hose most vulnerable

[2:35:17] areas look at t hat to be able any q uestions?

[2:35:23] any q uestions? >> I feel like I was drin

[2:35:27] out of a fire hose, but the

[2:35:29] bottom line I take away from lot of money.

[2:35:32] lot of money. >> one thing also to look at

[2:35:35] remember we u nderstand the funding for all of them may

[2:35:39] not b e done immediately, what happens I s this gives you --

[2:35:42] it's looking at those areas that are vulnerable a nd the

[2:35:45] projects that will need to b implemented on hand, if some

[2:35:50] projects are not being implemented f or some period,

[2:35:51] if they're supposed to be done

[2:35:54] in 2025, they c an be done at

[2:35:56] 2035, you have to look at

[2:35:58] raising the road a little bit

[2:36:01] more, if you want to maintain

[2:36:04] a 2 0 year design life rather

[2:36:04] than 2045, it will be then higher elevation.

[2:36:07] higher elevation. What it will translate is t

[2:36:11] right o f way impacts, the higher you raise it, the more

[2:36:14] you will have to tie back into

[2:36:17] the property but the idea of

[2:36:19] the study was t o provide this

[2:36:20] baseline basement and be able to look a t the areas

[2:36:25] vulnerable and that's w hy we selected the 2045 target

[2:36:27] year, it's very dynamic vierm,

[2:36:27] hopefully it doesn't get worse

[2:36:31] at this point as the projections go down t he road

[2:36:36] but I d o get updated on point, that's where

[2:36:39] point, that's where information c an be replaced

[2:36:43] and a djust how that can be

[2:36:45] >> mr. Mayor, thank you, I

[2:36:48] would like the make a comment mayor brought u p.

[2:36:54] mayor brought u p. As we w ant to spend all thi

[2:36:59] money t o elevate the road and mentioned b efore because of

[2:37:03] mentioned b efore because of ground is so porous, these

[2:37:08] lots are going to flood right besides t he road, we'll be

[2:37:11] spending millions to have these roads elevated and

[2:37:11] contain that water, what

[2:37:13] about all the lots that are so low

[2:37:17] that are going to flood, they're going the h ave to

[2:37:22] elevate a nd filling lots in they have to contain all

[2:37:24] they have to contain all own w ater.

[2:37:26] own w ater. We may be causing more

[2:37:31] problems than we're correcting

[2:37:34] here with -- I think we have

[2:37:37] to look a t this as a whole

[2:37:41] picture and g et that information as we evaluate

[2:37:43] these r oads to elevate them. >> commissioner, and we did

[2:37:45] at one point, we looked at what

[2:37:47] if we p rovide also a collection system on the side

[2:37:52] of the road to collect the

[2:37:53] promise that some of these roadways you have t he low

[2:37:55] property but the areas between

[2:37:56] the property if y ou have water

[2:37:59] come framing the backyard, you're going to have the

[2:38:03] elevation where you have the pump stations operate o n a

[2:38:07] full time capacity or you'r point, it becomes critical,

[2:38:10] point, it becomes critical, that's an option there, but

[2:38:12] if in that particular case, so

[2:38:16] in that particular case, so here we're looking at first

[2:38:21] how c an that accessibility be maintained and be a ble to

[2:38:24] understand because the stormwater system, it helps

[2:38:25] mitigate the king tides but it

[2:38:28] also helps not contribute to any of that additional

[2:38:31] flooding and be able to be implemented but I u nderstand

[2:38:34] your point take .and that's will be a ble to elaborate

[2:38:38] will be a ble to elaborate

[2:38:39] about t hat comprehensive approach and this I s part of

[2:38:44] the solution, part of t he be

[2:38:45] be looked at as a comprehensive approach.

[2:38:51] >> thank you. >> the project website, I'll

[2:38:56] jump in h ere, on the project,

[2:38:57] you c an visit www .keys roads plan.com, in there, if you

[2:39:01] want to a ccess the maps, you

[2:39:03] can d irectly look at the link access button ins t he front

[2:39:06] access button ins t he front what are the existing roadway

[2:39:09] what are the existing roadway elevations in f ront of your

[2:39:12] property also we can look at what are those adaptation

[2:39:17] limits we looked at, and on see three maps, h ere in

[2:39:21] see three maps, h ere in

[2:39:23] summary, the map on top show elevation, that's s howing

[2:39:25] elevation, that's s howing some

[2:39:28] range, this is based on the lidar information, you'll

[2:39:31] find that existing information

[2:39:32] along the crown o f the roadways, you will also find

[2:39:37] the n eighborhood area recommendations at the lower

[2:39:38] left corner here which is kind

[2:39:41] of like the map t hat I showed

[2:39:43] show casing t he neighborhood areas that shows the

[2:39:45] adaptation limits and a lso you

[2:39:48] find another map that shows the c riticality evaluation

[2:39:53] viewer, this is s howing you the criticality s core for

[2:39:57] those segments all throughout the limits, t hose are gis

[2:39:59] limits, those are to be view

[2:40:00] and had t here's also a search

[2:40:02] area where you can provide your property address and it

[2:40:04] will take you automatically to that location.

[2:40:08] >> I just pulled it up, I accurate.

[2:40:10] >> also, now that's I f you existing information, that

[2:40:13] existing information, that planning, but also if you

[2:40:15] want to look at the conceptual

[2:40:18] plans, there's also another call ted road adaptation

[2:40:23] call ted road adaptation conceptual plans, y ou click

[2:40:28] this one and you go into a down,

[2:40:29] down, it's separated by the k eys,

[2:40:31] you h ave those 83 project areas that I was talking

[2:40:36] about, you can click on one, area

[2:40:40] area 10 which is winston waterways,

[2:40:43] we'll g et technical here, you'll see a key sheet for

[2:40:48] each one of t he project areas,

[2:40:49] in each key sheet, it will give you the project

[2:40:54] information, a quick map of where t he pronlt area's

[2:40:57] located, you have an index o the roadway plans a nd what's

[2:41:00] included there and you have a length aof the project

[2:41:02] overall, this is consistent for all t he project areas, so

[2:41:07] you h ave that cover sheet, plan layout, this gives you

[2:41:11] plan layout, this gives you

[2:41:13] the way we laid out the sheet

[2:41:15] so you can read it as we

[2:41:16] along, we w anted to provide a

[2:41:17] scale t hat was readable, not that high l evel because we

[2:41:20] could h ave had less sheets

[2:41:22] but it would have been hard to

[2:41:26] read, each one of these ones

[2:41:29] have a north arrow that help

[2:41:30] you orient yourself, it gives you t hat perspective of how

[2:41:32] those plan sheets were laid out.

[2:41:36] you'll see in each ones, thi is a typical sections sheet,

[2:41:39] we tried to definitely capture

[2:41:41] as much as we c an those typical conditions of the

[2:41:45] roadways and a typical section

[2:41:46] may r epresent several roadways, this represents a ll

[2:41:50] those roadway s eg inlets located below, sometimes it's

[2:41:53] ao typical barrier, we added several typical sections

[2:41:55] where we showed what was anticipate

[2:41:58] today g o in that particular area, t hat corresponds on

[2:42:03] michelle drive, that's a corresponding t ypical that

[2:42:06] apply t here, there's a table anticipated t o being elevated

[2:42:10] anticipated t o being elevated look at the table t hat is

[2:42:13] look at the table t hat is

[2:42:16] provided there and then y ou can look at that elevation

[2:42:19] change that is anticipated within that particular limit

[2:42:22] and please understand it's a range because a t this point,

[2:42:25] the roadway varies, s o we provided the lower ask high

[2:42:28] value there and t hen on the is

[2:42:29] is that existing ground elevation

[2:42:32] at the right of w ay line, so

[2:42:35] that gives you that perspective and a s the

[2:42:39] commissioner mentioned, w e wanted to a lso understand how

[2:42:44] the private p roperties, are they low or high ground and

[2:42:47] what are those numbers going that is available there.

[2:42:52] that is available there. And then you'll s ee a plan

[2:42:57] sheet that shows and if it's a 2022-06-15t11:37:28.4104479-04:00

[2:42:57] small air ya, there will be a it's

[2:42:59] it's overwhelmed with more plan

[2:43:03] overwhelmed with more plan you have your lenld --

[2:43:08] you have your lenld -- legend

[2:43:12] and a ir owe, you'll see the the

[2:43:14] the cross h atch, that means

[2:43:16] there's r econstruction and change in t he elevation tof

[2:43:20] roadway, that's all depict ined the legend, if there's

[2:43:22] any questions, we're here t o help, with that being said,

[2:43:26] there I s a button for contacting us, so you can

[2:43:29] click there and p ut your name and I nformation, a message

[2:43:31] and that's received here and then

[2:43:33] we document it as part of the project.

[2:43:37] with that, I'll hand it over to erin.

[2:43:41] >> emilio f orgot to mention

[2:43:43] we're also working on an faq

[2:43:44] sheet right n ow for people to approach the website and

[2:43:49] approach the website and things like t hat, so they

[2:43:51] understand what they're actually looking at.

[2:43:55] so, good morning, I'm here to and implementation piece of

[2:44:00] and implementation piece of to

[2:44:01] to allude to, there's more to

[2:44:05] this nan just the road elevation stormwater

[2:44:08] management piece of the program, so t he intent of

[2:44:11] this particular -- o f your overall

[2:44:13] adaptation strategy I s to summarize y our priorities for

[2:44:17] the road elevation and the stormwater projects based o n

[2:44:20] that ranking criteria and that

[2:44:22] process, part 2 of this is implementation strategy

[2:44:26] implementation strategy associated with it and the

[2:44:29] mayor already a lluded to that,

[2:44:31] there may need to be change tos t he comprehensive plan

[2:44:36] torx the code, I'm going to not t oo deep into that

[2:44:38] not t oo deep into that because

[2:44:39] we're going come back t o you fall

[2:44:41] fall televising's a funding discussion that obviously

[2:44:45] needs to occur and funding sources and t hat discussion

[2:44:50] is probably going to be at

[2:44:50] multiple times throughout this

[2:44:53] process over the next couple of months, so just to quickly

[2:44:58] discuss some of the needed policy changes, one t hing

[2:45:00] that establishing a roads policy

[2:45:02] establishing a roads policy and a l evel of service, this

[2:45:07] is a trend right now though south f lorida management

[2:45:09] district for instance is working t hrough a flood

[2:45:15] protection level of service, we're t alk about a flood

[2:45:19] level of service for ours, flasr,

[2:45:21] that's the one. >> what did y ou call it.

[2:45:24] >> flooding l evel of service want to m ake that distinction

[2:45:29] want to m ake that distinction is because certain mandated

[2:45:32] levels of service that you have in y our comprehensive

[2:45:35] plan already, t his is not something that's made b ut

[2:45:37] it's new, what we're trying to did

[2:45:38] is be t ransparent with the community a nd manage

[2:45:42] expectations with t he community a bout what they're

[2:45:44] going t he get, and essentially

[2:45:49] what this would l ook like is

[2:45:52] we are going to attempt to

[2:45:53] stien these r oads to keep up

[2:45:55] with future s ea level rise conditions and king tides but

[2:45:58] there m ay be limitations for that, for instance, t he right

[2:46:00] of way may not be large enough

[2:46:01] that we can elevate as high as

[2:46:04] we potentially want t o so

[2:46:05] we're going to do the best w

[2:46:07] can, that taoes basis of wha

[2:46:07] that policy is going to say, of

[2:46:11] of improvement but t hey may not

[2:46:14] get 20 years sea level rise

[2:46:16] plus king tides a ll at the

[2:46:17] same time because there may some constraints and then

[2:46:19] some constraints and then when

[2:46:22] I say level o f service commitment cleanup is every

[2:46:26] comprehensive plan with local governments I'm working w ith

[2:46:29] right now c ommits to things feasible with future sea

[2:46:32] feasible with future sea level

[2:46:34] rise, access issues, certain open space, l evels of

[2:46:37] service, bah all o f this comes together

[2:46:40] to realistically think about the commitments you're making

[2:46:44] in your comprehensive plan through your policies a nd

[2:46:48] whether they're achievable in

[2:46:49] the future, a policy on road

[2:46:53] drainage, mayor, you have already alluded t o this also

[2:46:57] which is this program is not about c reating a uniform

[2:46:59] managed stormwater system throughout the entire county

[2:47:02] that's going to drain private property this is not an

[2:47:06] urbanized area to d o that, places like k ey west and

[2:47:08] places like k ey west and marathon and other places

[2:47:11] where you h ave stormwater structures and you have a

[2:47:13] more urbanized environment but

[2:47:13] that's not what this program is.

[2:47:17] this program is to capture drainage dealing with road

[2:47:21] drainage dealing with road elevation themselves, and a

[2:47:25] lot o f those roads don't have existing stormwater features

[2:47:28] associated with t hem now bah many of these roads without

[2:47:33] many of these roads without those f eatures because the

[2:47:33] south f lorida water management

[2:47:35] district is never g oing to different than creating that

[2:47:39] different than creating that managed system that's g oing

[2:47:41] the drain private p roperty and

[2:47:41] you're right, mayor, there are

[2:47:43] going to be people that are

[2:47:45] going to have a dry road and

[2:47:45] they're going to have access be

[2:47:48] be a portion o f the year that

[2:47:52] their p roperty is under some level of inundation and that

[2:47:57] may -- that's going to increase over time and at

[2:47:59] some point, that level of

[2:48:01] inundation may be permanent some properties, place ins

[2:48:04] some properties, place ins keys are going to see that

[2:48:09] keys are going to see that

[2:48:10] effect, some place ares going to see it sooner rather th

[2:48:14] later. Modify the codes so w e'll have

[2:48:16] to modify your design standards with regard t o road

[2:48:21] design, fdot has this thing call ted green book, that's

[2:48:24] how local g overnments design their roads a nd that's what's

[2:48:25] referenced in your code r ight now websinger ear going to

[2:48:28] have to c hange that because developing to those green

[2:48:29] developing to those green book

[2:48:30] standards, you are going to be exceeding t hem.

[2:48:35] review and modify your road abandonment procedure that is

[2:48:39] would allow y ou to consider the future of flood risk

[2:48:41] associated with that particular road facility and

[2:48:43] I say that because as emilio

[2:48:46] talked about in our evaluation

[2:48:47] process, some roads serve more

[2:48:50] people, s ome roads serve less people, a nd the county may

[2:48:54] not maintenance obligation on t he

[2:48:56] maintenance obligation on t he books forever if the road

[2:49:01] doesn't serve a l ot of properties, a nd abandonment

[2:49:05] may be a tool, I'm not saying but

[2:49:07] but it may a z be a tool so y

[2:49:12] don't want to m ake that process on yourself than

[2:49:16] absolutely necessary, funding strategy is going to be a

[2:49:18] longer term discussion, is is this going t o be working

[2:49:21] is this going t o be working

[2:49:23] down a prioritized proj list as you have funds available,

[2:49:28] that's a longer term discussion, and t hen private

[2:49:29] property adaptation policies, which is exactly what the

[2:49:32] mayor already alluded t o. I c an tell you this is a

[2:49:36] growing t rend with local governments right n ow, in

[2:49:39] february, there w as a miami harold article that the miami

[2:49:43] dade county I s considering an ordinance that when r a

[2:49:45] property owner does a substantial r enovation or

[2:49:48] modification to their property

[2:49:51] they may need to bring th property up to 6 feet in

[2:49:55] I am working for a local government in p alm beach

[2:49:57] county where we a re looking at

[2:50:00] the s ame type of standard

[2:50:02] where w e're going to 3.5 feet relationship between

[2:50:05] relationship between elevation

[2:50:07] of the sea walls and what

[2:50:16] that property needs to b e elevated

[2:50:20] to and a portion of the community, so this

[2:50:23] harmonization, either triggering, righter,

[2:50:25] something like that I s probably

[2:50:28] something that needs to be

[2:50:32] explored in t he longer term. So, this has been a very

[2:50:37] proactive planning approach and s o we have the issue

[2:50:39] countywide adaptation, roads

[2:50:42] has been at the top o f the

[2:50:48] list because obviously it's access to homes, businesses,

[2:50:52] schools, all ofz that, we ar looking at this summer launch

[2:50:56] ago grant p rogram on adaptation of on the habitat

[2:50:59] natural r esources level, mitigating county buildings

[2:51:00] that are potentially have you neshl, other infrastructure,

[2:51:04] you have the countywide component of adaptation, and

[2:51:07] then again as t he mayor alluded to, what is t he

[2:51:10] private response, what are we going to encourage people to

[2:51:13] do, what are we going to to

[2:51:14] to allow people to do with regard

[2:51:17] to elevation of their structures, l ot fill

[2:51:20] driveways is another thing, mr. Tl

[2:51:22] be property owners where you have access t o your property

[2:51:29] you h ave an elevated driveway,

[2:51:33] your home is elevated, maybe you're okay w ith your lot

[2:51:36] being inundated part of the

[2:51:39] year x na needs t o be

[2:51:42] explored, and t his's true tli going t o achieve resiliency

[2:51:47] going t o achieve resiliency overall with all of these

[2:51:48] factors, this r oads project is

[2:51:51] the biggest thing y ou have

[2:51:53] tackled so far but it is story.

[2:51:57] story. And I t hink this is rhonda's slide.

[2:51:59] okay. >> yes, t hank you, erin.

[2:52:02] >> I'm going to pull this up for you, rhonda.

[2:52:07] >> okay. >> yes. >> thank you.

[2:52:10] >> so, thank you, emilio and I

[2:52:13] I think we met the goal of t

[2:52:15] whole project w hen we started,

[2:52:17] really the goal is to h elp yent

[2:52:20] yent by developing this long term

[2:52:23] road adaptation plan, t o mitigate these sea level rise

[2:52:27] impacts s o if we're able to

[2:52:28] implement the p lan and that's going t he take funding, we

[2:52:32] will have l ong term resilience

[2:52:35] here at l east for the next more,

[2:52:39] more, and these were to help us

[2:52:42] plan the cost estimates for the

[2:52:45] county road d epartmental plan and s upport technical

[2:52:48] information which we'll be able to u se on our grant

[2:52:52] applications, and then yet to come, y ou heard erin talk

[2:52:55] about, we're going to t alk about our p rivate property

[2:52:56] adaptation policies, we really

[2:52:58] need to research on how we're still 1.6 b illion tlars,

[2:53:03] still 1.6 b illion tlars, that's a lot of money, gran

[2:53:06] are not going to be able to

[2:53:09] fund all of this, we're going

[2:53:10] the h ave to figure out some

[2:53:13] sources o f funding to help build this program and then

[2:53:15] finally y ou'll see erin and me

[2:53:18] again in september or so, maybe o ctober, depends on the

[2:53:22] storm season with our final report and our presentation,

[2:53:25] this is t he technical presentation today, y ou won't

[2:53:27] see a nother technical I

[2:53:29] I thank y ou. >> thank you, rhonda.

[2:53:36] you know, I 'm sitting here looking a t that 1.6 billion

[2:53:41] dollars a nd realizing that if majority of t hat will

[2:53:45] majority of t hat will probably

[2:53:48] be grant funds and I'm remembering back to the

[2:53:51] almost 1 billion dollars t hat we

[2:53:57] spent o n wastewater which we

[2:54:01] just knew we could never do years, we did it.

[2:54:06] years, we did it. We'll p robably get there or

[2:54:09] we will be turning o ut of a dry

[2:54:13] road into t he lake that

[2:54:15] constitutes o ur house, so front o f our eyes, not

[2:54:20] front o f our eyes, not rapidly, but it is changing,

[2:54:25] and probably will ko n to do so.

[2:54:30] so, together we'll have to thank you very much.

[2:54:36] thank you very much. >> thank you.

[2:54:39] >> your next item is on the have

[2:54:42] have two public speakers signed up

[2:54:44] for that, d iscussion and capital project applications

[2:54:47] capital project applications to be submitted u nder the

[2:54:51] resilient florida p rogram for 2022.

[2:54:53] >> while he's bringing that

[2:54:54] up, I'll go ahead and kick the

[2:54:56] the help us w ha, you're going to

[2:55:02] hear today is the resilient

[2:55:05] florida program, some c hanges that's been made in t he last

[2:55:10] year, you s aw us in front of implemented the grant

[2:55:13] implemented the grant program,

[2:55:16] we were t rying to get road guidelines and there's some

[2:55:20] guidelines and there's some new things we want to try

[2:55:21] that we're going to paren to you

[2:55:22] today and w ith that, I'm going

[2:55:26] to go a head and ask erin to go

[2:55:30] ahead and s tart. >> hello again.

[2:55:33] this presentation is the culmination o f a

[2:55:37] collaboration across multiple stab asks

[2:55:39] conversations that have occurred with the s tate so

[2:55:43] I'm here to k ind of deliver the

[2:55:45] strategy to y ou. So, just as a refresher,

[2:55:49] there are five major sections of the

[2:55:51] resilient florida legislation t two s ections that we are

[2:55:55] most focused on are the number

[2:55:59] 1, the resilt yent florida grant p rogram which funds

[2:56:04] planning grants and a t some

[2:56:05] level, it h as also been used

[2:56:07] to fund capital projects, and then number 3 I s the

[2:56:12] statewide flooding and sea level rise

[2:56:16] resilience plan, that level rise resilience plan --

[2:56:21] level rise resilience plan -- screens s o whatever we're

[2:56:26] screens s o whatever we're seeing behind us is not on

[2:56:31] our screens. Rhonda, y ou look lovely, and

[2:56:34] rhonda, you're muted. Er

[2:56:37] >> t hank you, I said we'll

[2:56:40] wait a second while they loa you for t he compliment.

[2:56:44] you for t he compliment. >> number 3 there, the

[2:56:46] statewide flooding and sea level rise resilience plan,

[2:56:50] this plan is compiled every year by t he grant

[2:56:52] applications that are submitted to the

[2:56:54] state by september 1 and that

[2:56:56] plan is handed off to the and legislative l eadership by

[2:57:01] and legislative l eadership by december 1 of each year and

[2:57:06] this plan will compile all the capital p roject grant

[2:57:09] requests across the s tate. And so this was the funding

[2:57:11] mechanism for the t wo projects

[2:57:15] that you received last year right p oint design, so your

[2:57:20] right p oint design, so your history w ith this program

[2:57:23] predated the legislation coming into effect in 2021,

[2:57:28] you r eceived two grants, they were planning related grants,

[2:57:31] one w as to develop amendments to the comprehensive plan

[2:57:36] that were required for peril flood

[2:57:40] legislation, the other was to update your vulnerability

[2:57:43] adaptation, t hat work was being done last year thaz

[2:57:46] tha z law w as being signed into effect.

[2:57:48] the previous version of the program a ppended these

[2:57:50] planning grants at 75 thousand

[2:57:53] dollars so it was tough t o do

[2:57:56] the e xpanded work that you vulnerability assessment for

[2:57:59] vulnerability assessment for money, when the legislation

[2:58:03] money, when the legislation was signed into effect, that

[2:58:07] cap was l ifted but also came with that legislation were

[2:58:09] requirements for vulnerability basements now because the

[2:58:12] state was r eceiving apples and

[2:58:13] oranges in terms of the vulnerability assessment,

[2:58:16] they wanted to standardize them on

[2:58:20] some level with new technical specifications and I can tell

[2:58:25] you that that costs a whole

[2:58:27] lot m ore than 75 thousand terms of a document, the 2021

[2:58:30] terms of a document, the 2021 grant cycle, you received

[2:58:32] money to update your vulnerability assessment to

[2:58:35] bring it into compliance with those n ew requirements, that

[2:58:39] project was announced I believe may 11, there w as

[2:58:41] also a project on that list for

[2:58:41] the plan that I referenced

[2:58:44] plan that I referenced earlier

[2:58:47] but t hat project was kind of awarded previous to t hat

[2:58:50] under the old version of the program

[2:58:51] but it was on the list for

[2:58:54] this year, and then you got the still r ight point design

[2:58:57] t twin lakes elevation for that

[2:59:01] particular road project a nd then the harry harris

[2:59:05] resilient d esign for that particular park, so this is

[2:59:09] the s uccess you've had in the program s o far

[2:59:16] collaboratively across the county.

[2:59:18] and so there were several house b ill 1773, fdot is t

[2:59:23] house b ill 1773, fdot is t first state a gency that is

[2:59:26] now required to pull together a

[2:59:26] resilience action plan and the

[2:59:29] reason that would be important

[2:59:32] to you is for instance maybe resiliency projects associate

[2:59:35] resiliency projects associate witched that resilience action

[2:59:37] plan, there a re new responsibilities for the

[2:59:41] state's chief resilience officer and one o f those

[2:59:44] duties is in conjunction wit the d epartment of

[2:59:45] environmental protection, they

[2:59:47] have to produce a list of vulnerability basements e very

[2:59:51] year that meet those statutory

[2:59:54] requirements and I can tell list as s oon as possible

[2:59:59] list as s oon as possible because how t hey evaluate

[3:00:00] your capital project , grant

[3:00:02] submittals, a portion of that is related to your vulnerable

[3:00:07] assessment, so the good news last

[3:00:08] last year to do that compliance effort.

[3:00:13] there is a new definition of assets,

[3:00:16] assets, this is important because in

[3:00:19] the g rant evaluation process, assess that s erve more than

[3:00:23] one local g overnment jurisdiction are going to get

[3:00:27] a bump in t he evaluation process, there is also a

[3:00:32] component for p reconstruction funding f or small local

[3:00:34] governments and for you, that's you are actually not

[3:00:37] eligible jibl for that type of

[3:00:38] funding because mower t a county of less than 50

[3:00:43] thousand, they also want to see r ainfall pod dwelling now

[3:00:46] associated with the vulnerability assessment,

[3:00:48] there have been changes t o the

[3:00:51] dates a s to when certain statewide deliverables have

[3:00:55] to be completed, there a re more

[3:00:55] transparency requirements when the s tate produces that

[3:00:59] statewide flooding and sea level r ise resilience plan,

[3:01:03] they have to have a narrative talking a bout the projects

[3:01:05] that they s elected and why and

[3:01:08] the projects they did not select and why and the

[3:01:11] methods by which they selected those

[3:01:15] projects and included t hoem after 2023, t he state wants

[3:01:19] after 2023, t he state wants to

[3:01:22] see a local government have vulnerability assessment in

[3:01:26] compliance with these standards f or modeling,

[3:01:30] essentially t hey are saying to have a tough time getting

[3:01:35] to have a tough time getting your capital projects highly

[3:01:39] ranked without having that vulnerability assessment,

[3:01:42] there a re more eligible entities this year, erosion

[3:01:47] control districts, water control d istricts, drainage

[3:01:51] districts, so there are more parties t hat can access th

[3:01:55] money and there I s less money

[3:01:56] in year for the program overall, dep is engaged in

[3:02:00] rule making right n ow to develop t he criteria by which

[3:02:04] they are going to rank the

[3:02:06] grants, and I 'm happy to tell you the county has been

[3:02:10] engaged I n this process, and so far we've yielded some

[3:02:12] success in the rule making effort by p roffering language

[3:02:15] that has been adopted into another version o f the rule,

[3:02:20] that rule is not done yet, competitiveness of these

[3:02:22] competitiveness of these grant

[3:02:23] applications based on this rule that I s in flight

[3:02:26] because it is going the tell you how

[3:02:30] the m ake your projects more competitive b ut we have

[3:02:35] secured some changes to that

[3:02:35] rule and that's a really good the

[3:02:37] the picture of the state of

[3:02:41] affairs last year and I'm going t o walk through what's

[3:02:44] changed. There haven't been a lot of

[3:02:46] changes to the planning grants

[3:02:51] but this year, there is approximately 180 m illion

[3:02:56] dollars of funding for that that's a little bit

[3:02:58] that's a little bit different,

[3:02:58] there was m ore money available

[3:03:01] for capital projects this year, we have some more

[3:03:06] limitations. The match r equirements for

[3:03:07] this are still a little foggy,

[3:03:10] it depends on how your capital

[3:03:13] project is funded as to to be r equired.

[3:03:17] to be r equired. The s tatute requires match for

[3:03:20] inclusion of a project in this

[3:03:22] statewide flooding and sea level rise plan, if your

[3:03:26] project gets funded with a different p ot of dollars,

[3:03:30] those match r equirements may not be part o f the evaluation

[3:03:33] process and t here may be others that w ant to provide

[3:03:36] more elaboration on that, but we

[3:03:36] we have right now, at least that

[3:03:40] I h ave as presenting this to you.

[3:03:44] so, t his is how those pots

[3:03:47] shake out, last y ear, they planning grants and t hey had

[3:03:50] planning grants and t hey had resilience projects, the

[3:03:55] resilience projects were fund funded mostly with arpa

[3:03:58] money, there was 1 54 million dollar

[3:04:01] list of f unding that came outside o f that statewide sea

[3:04:04] level rise plan pot of dollars

[3:04:06] and what that m eant was that

[3:04:09] there were some projects that

[3:04:11] were funded on that list that

[3:04:12] there w as no match, so this is

[3:04:14] is 180 million dollars for t hat

[3:04:18] plan, a s I mentioned, there are m ore eligible entities,

[3:04:23] there w as a statutory change this year that essentially

[3:04:27] said that p ot of dollars for less than 1 00 million

[3:04:29] less than 1 00 million dollars,

[3:04:30] last year, it w as a cannot be dollars,

[3:04:34] dollars, so this y ear we're seeing 180

[3:04:36] million dollars in that pot, we're still a little unclear

[3:04:40] as to some of the match requirements depending on the

[3:04:44] funding s tream and then obviously t he application

[3:04:47] dates h ave been adjusted to just showing you what's

[3:04:50] just showing you what's changed from last year to

[3:04:53] this year. So, this is w hat we know

[3:04:54] about some of the f unding that's

[3:04:57] been announced in t he budget people have information,

[3:05:02] people have information, please help m e out and chime

[3:05:05] in, but 2 70 million dollars was announced f or the

[3:05:07] statewide flooding and sea level rise plan but that was

[3:05:09] for projects that were already

[3:05:10] awarded last year so, w hen the

[3:05:17] state says we've got 500 million d ollars for

[3:05:22] resilience this year, 270 dollars of that

[3:05:26] is already allocated, there's 20 million dollars from

[3:05:28] resilience, 20 million dollars

[3:05:30] from revenue, that's 40 million dollars, 20 m illion

[3:05:33] of that we know is fwoing to g o

[3:05:36] to planning projects, 20 of dollars that are used fo

[3:05:40] of dollars that are used fo match, we're a little

[3:05:44] match, we're a little uncertain on that, I talked

[3:05:48] about t he 180 million dollars for t he statewide resilience

[3:05:53] plan, then there are other pots of d ollars available for

[3:05:58] regional resilience projects like from t he compact, and

[3:05:59] 5.5 florida flood hub w hich is

[3:06:02] florida flood hub w hich is data gathering entity

[3:06:07] throughout the state. So, m atch technically within

[3:06:09] the s tatute is required but it's only r equired for that

[3:06:14] one p ot of dollars from a legal p erspective which is

[3:06:17] that statewide flooding and sea l evel rise resilience

[3:06:19] plan so, there m ay be a pot of

[3:06:21] dollars out t here that doesn't

[3:06:21] require a m atch, we're still a

[3:06:26] little uncertain on t hat and then obviously you have t o

[3:06:31] submit your p rojects through gets compiled from those

[3:06:34] gets compiled from those projects, there's o nly one

[3:06:39] portal to submit your capital projects and you don't know

[3:06:41] what funding stream is ultimately going to fund that

[3:06:42] project, whether it's going to

[3:06:44] be included nr that statewide plan or for instance, it was

[3:06:48] -- last year, t here was arpa trigger those requirements,

[3:06:49] trigger those requirements, so

[3:06:53] you don't g et to dictate what funding pot f unds your

[3:06:59] project, you are at the will of dep.

[3:07:03] >> erin, real quick, are we considered a financially

[3:07:05] disadvantaged small community, we're not constrained, are

[3:07:08] we? No, o kay. >> alright so, we're moving

[3:07:13] into the grant concepts, we have two planning grant

[3:07:17] concepts we're looking to present to you and the

[3:07:22] planning grant application is exactly 7 d ays from today, s

[3:07:25] one o f those planning grants is the municipal roads

[3:07:28] planning project which is basically t o take everything

[3:07:31] emilio just p resented on and through that same process and

[3:07:35] through that same process and

[3:07:38] the a dvantage of that is that the similar d esign standards

[3:07:42] the similar d esign standards overall, and we did submit

[3:07:48] this grant last year but it

[3:07:51] really didn't fit n eatly into looking f or, for planning

[3:07:54] looking f or, for planning grants, what they're really

[3:07:56] prioritizing is vulnerability assessments for communities

[3:07:58] that have not done them ye or

[3:08:00] vulnerability assessments for communities that want to come

[3:08:04] into compliance w ith this new statutory criteria, s o we are

[3:08:08] going to dust off that grant little bit more competitively

[3:08:12] little bit more competitively to fit more with what dep I

[3:08:14] looking f or. The second planning project

[3:08:17] that we w ould like to pursue neighborhood, this would look

[3:08:22] neighborhood, this would look a lot l ike the roads pilot

[3:08:27] project that we did in 2015-16, before you l ook at

[3:08:30] wholesale a daptation across the c ounty overall, let's

[3:08:31] pick a neighborhood and look a t

[3:08:34] that and get at some of t

[3:08:37] issues we just talked about that mayor rice raised, what

[3:08:39] is adaptation look like beyond

[3:08:40] just roadsters and we w ould like to potentially submit a

[3:08:45] grant to do that in one test that

[3:08:46] that so, those a re the two

[3:08:49] so, those a re the two planning

[3:08:53] grants due potentially by a

[3:08:56] a little bit more about assets

[3:08:59] and w hat assets are within this program in the statute,

[3:09:03] there a re four different types

[3:09:05] of critical a ssets that are defined w ithin the statute,

[3:09:09] transportation and critical infrastructure, critical

[3:09:11] community a nd emergency services and natural cultural

[3:09:14] and historic resources and reason that is important is

[3:09:19] reason that is important is because the g rant criteria,

[3:09:24] the p roject criteria overwhelmingly prefers

[3:09:26] projects that look at critical

[3:09:28] assets, a dapt critical assets, or protect critical assets.

[3:09:33] I'm going the talk a little bit more about that.

[3:09:38] now, the definition does not say t hat critical assets have

[3:09:43] to be publicly owned, but statute w here in your

[3:09:45] statute w here in your vulnerable assessment, you

[3:09:48] have to I dentify all of the critical assets that are

[3:09:51] owned and maintained by the local

[3:09:55] government, s o it's pretty overwhelmingly preferring

[3:09:59] overwhelmingly preferring assets as part of the grant

[3:10:04] assets as part of the grant I j ust said that.

[3:10:08] I j ust said that. Okay.

[3:10:11] so, t alking about the scope of

[3:10:13] the c apital projects, again, I

[3:10:17] talked about critical assets, owned and maintained, but I n

[3:10:20] the c ritical assets definition, you a lso have

[3:10:23] hospitals w hich is not something t hat is necessarily

[3:10:27] publicly owned but points are assessed within the ranking

[3:10:32] program as to how well a project a ddresses risk,

[3:10:36] projects that reduce risk in areas w ith an overall higher

[3:10:39] percentage of critical assets protected, so I f your project

[3:10:43] gets a lot of bang for bu publicly

[3:10:44] publicly owned things at o ne time, that

[3:10:47] project is obviously going to rank higher.

[3:10:51] there is -- t here are criteria

[3:10:55] related to how well the project a lleviates up land

[3:10:58] damage, whether n ature base features, whether or not the

[3:11:03] project I s cost effective an if the local government is

[3:11:05] financially constrained so there is a lot of different

[3:11:10] criteria to evaluate these projects, so what we are

[3:11:11] doing collectively through the

[3:11:14] departments is talking about how to make those projects as

[3:11:17] competitive as possible, for instance, is there a project

[3:11:20] where w e can add nature ba

[3:11:22] features and get more points, projects is y ou're really

[3:11:25] projects is y ou're really constrained in the

[3:11:27] right-of-way and in t erms of

[3:11:29] how you have to manage the

[3:11:31] money so there's not a lot of

[3:11:33] nature based features y ou can those points are probably not

[3:11:37] those points are probably not available to certain types of

[3:11:42] projects that you m ay v so up

[3:11:44] to 36 p oints out of 100 in

[3:11:46] this program are related to how w ell your vulnerability

[3:11:49] assessment identifies your critical assets, identifies

[3:11:53] how at risk they are and ho your potential project

[3:11:58] addresses t hat risk, that's a the p rogram are related to

[3:12:01] the p rogram are related to

[3:12:02] whether or not you have match has previously funded a

[3:12:06] has previously funded a component o f the program, for

[3:12:09] instance, if there was a project w here you received

[3:12:13] money f or design and now you construction, you will get

[3:12:15] construction, you will get some additional points for

[3:12:17] that because the state has already m ade an investment

[3:12:20] there and f unded the project previously, so that's

[3:12:24] something t o consider that almost 50% of the criteria

[3:12:27] are related to these two key

[3:12:30] elements about characterizing so, these a re the capital

[3:12:36] so, these a re the capital grant concepts that w e are

[3:12:41] talking about, number one is

[3:12:43] roads projects, t here are 15

[3:12:45] of them w e have listed and

[3:12:48] we'll talk a little bit more

[3:12:49] about t hat, they total 302 million dollars a nd just for

[3:12:53] discussion purposes, a cost share of 50% cost share of

[3:12:57] those p rojects would be -- should be a bout 150 million

[3:13:00] should be a bout 150 million dollars I nstead of 190, then

[3:13:03] we talk a bout -- we have three

[3:13:08] shore l ine related projects, the duck key break water t

[3:13:13] long key living shore line 2022-06-15t12:07:46.4459340-04:00

[3:13:12] 2022-06-15t12:07:46.4459340-04:00 nod s hore line project, I want

[3:13:16] to talk a minute about the differences that I just

[3:13:21] described to you about critical assets that are pub

[3:13:25] luckily o pened and maintained and p rotect critical assets

[3:13:28] that are publicly owned and maintained like t he long key

[3:13:30] living shore line project, you

[3:13:31] own t hat property you own that

[3:13:35] shore line so I f you did a

[3:13:37] shore line protective project there, it w ould be protecting

[3:13:40] your trance for station w hich asset, so a project like that

[3:13:46] asset, so a project like that is going to rank higher

[3:13:51] because y ou are protecting publicly owned and maintained

[3:13:55] critical assets. So, I had a list, I'm sorry

[3:13:57] it was small, I wanted to get as

[3:13:59] many I could on each slide but

[3:14:03] basically we have taken the ranked list as rhonda

[3:14:08] described in the first 2025 timeframe a nd we've pulled 15

[3:14:13] projects out of that list and

[3:14:16] so we're talking about, okay,

[3:14:16] if we k ind of pull the first

[3:14:19] 15 out of that five year increment, what would c hose

[3:14:22] projects be, so we got th

[3:14:23] pronlt area number there but ranking s core or anything

[3:14:25] ranking s core or anything like

[3:14:30] that, that's just to identify the project I n the overall

[3:14:35] plan, I have the l epg, th

[3:14:36] fee, the cost f a 50% mat was s omething the county

[3:14:38] wanted to t hrow into the application, these are the

[3:14:42] application, these are the costs, so I can provide th

[3:14:47] list and we can talk about

[3:14:53] them, I knower there may be

[3:14:56] one or two pros that may c

[3:14:57] off this list for logistical reasons, judy m ay want to

[3:15:00] weigh in op that issue and we

[3:15:03] would move further down the number, 15 projects is 22.23

[3:15:07] number, 15 projects is 22.23 miles at 302 million dollars

[3:15:10] and t hat should be 150

[3:15:13] million reason, I s crewed that up, so

[3:15:18] reason, I s crewed that up, so

[3:15:21] this is approximately 41% of your total road project costs

[3:15:24] by 2025, that number that would n eed for roads

[3:15:28] would n eed for roads vulnerable by 2 025, these

[3:15:31] grantees if you submitted these 15 projects w ould be

[3:15:35] 41% of that number and roman m

[3:15:38] wan to speak to this issue

[3:15:41] about the penny s ales tax and

[3:15:43] what that can generate in the context of match, m aybe I

[3:15:45] should let you do that if you want to.

[3:15:47] >> no, go ahead, you can abit. .

[3:15:49] inger well, this I think is --

[3:15:53] yeah, so I'm going the ask a some direction here.

[3:15:57] some direction here. The f irst question there is

[3:15:59] the t wo planning projects that

[3:16:01] I outlined for dwrou, the municipal roads planning

[3:16:04] project and t he neighborhood adaptation project, we would

[3:16:07] like your d irection to go ahead and a pply for those

[3:16:09] because we have a w eek to do it.

[3:16:12] the s econd one is -- >> can you go through them

[3:16:15] one by one or do you want to lay

[3:16:16] them all out, I d on't know, or

[3:16:19] do you need them all out a we pick from there.

[3:16:22] >> the planning projects are easy because they don't

[3:16:25] require a match, it's pretty or

[3:16:25] or not.

[3:16:28] >> I would say yes, they seem pretty inexpensive but

[3:16:31] useful. >> okay.

[3:16:34] I mean, w e can take bha fr take

[3:16:39] take projects t duck key proj, t

[3:16:44] projects t duck key proj, t long key transfer station

[3:16:49] project t w ink, blink k and nodder prorjts all three

[3:16:52] shore yes

[3:16:53] yes or no on the match.

[3:16:58] >> so, mayor, I did a li

[3:17:03] research with rhonda on this, that would be protecting --

[3:17:08] that would be protecting -- correct m e if I'm wrong,

[3:17:11] rhonda, private property. >> the duck key one, so t

[3:17:13] two break w ater projects, they're g ood resilient

[3:17:16] projects and a break water repair would help protect the

[3:17:20] homes but t hey are private homes s o we probably wouldn't

[3:17:25] score as well o n those since they're n ot protecting that

[3:17:28] critical feign structure that you heard e rin discuss

[3:17:29] earlier. >> I think that's an important

[3:17:34] component t o consider, perhaps

[3:17:36] not submitting it, even though

[3:17:39] very important areas but -- >> wla's the harm in

[3:17:44] submitting it? >> well, are they matching it,

[3:17:46] are we not going to match it, other - -

[3:17:49] other - - >> would the neighborhood come

[3:17:54] up with s ome money, that's an unanswered question o n that

[3:17:58] particular proj. Substantial wastewater

[3:18:01] substantial wastewater has that be eliminated with

[3:18:05] has that be eliminated with the p roject?

[3:18:09] >> it's not eliminated from consideration and some of

[3:18:13] this comes down to how well we

[3:18:15] write up the grant applications and what is

[3:18:17] potentially protected, but the most part, you done own

[3:18:21] the most part, you done own

[3:18:24] the shore l ine, so that shore

[3:18:25] line is not really adapting a

[3:18:27] critical asset per se b ut it critical assets w ithin the

[3:18:30] critical assets w ithin the >> I'm sure you'll write up a

[3:18:36] >> I'm sure you'll write up a beautiful application, so we

[3:18:41] can take that for granted. Think there a re some

[3:18:44] think there a re some the duck key and the long key

[3:18:49] the duck key and the long key there h ave been any

[3:18:53] there h ave been any conceptual

[3:18:54] dollars associated with t he other o ne yet but again, the

[3:18:58] good news is only those planning projects have to b e

[3:19:02] submitted in a week, we have

[3:19:03] until september 1 for these other o nes that we're now

[3:19:06] discussing the capital projects, s o there's time.

[3:19:10] >> yeah, good point, today w

[3:19:11] wanted to g o over that full

[3:19:13] concept of do you really want of road elevation projects,

[3:19:16] of road elevation projects, are you c omfortable with

[3:19:18] that, so the list we showed earlier

[3:19:19] isn't necessarily the f inal list, we can come back in

[3:19:24] july with once we have a little

[3:19:28] more time t o spend on these, application, you see two

[3:19:30] application, you see two items

[3:19:35] on the agenda that were bulk approved, there's s o much

[3:19:40] information required so I that, we can come back in

[3:19:42] that, we can come back in july

[3:19:43] with a more detailed plan of

[3:19:45] what we want to do, we want

[3:19:46] to go t hrough the concepts today a nd the planning grants

[3:19:49] because those h ave to be submitted. .

[3:19:53] er before w e can make that we're

[3:19:57] we're going to have t o have some

[3:20:00] substantial staff input o n able to match because that

[3:20:06] able to match because that

[3:20:09] seems to be one of the majo

[3:20:10] factors I n whether we apply, for

[3:20:14] for grants that w e would not be

[3:20:17] able to match , so we need some

[3:20:19] help there. >> one thing just to tie this

[3:20:23] up and then y ou can move into

[3:20:24] that discussion, so, here a re up

[3:20:27] up

[3:20:30] there b efore and if you were

[3:20:34] looking at say 30 million dollars worth of match, you

[3:20:39] could I dentify these three projects, t he tavernier ocean

[3:20:40] shores, t he [inaudible], those

[3:20:43] total 30 million dollars in number,

[3:20:47] number, then you can balance any of

[3:20:51] the s hore line prints and any

[3:20:53] of the road projects and then for y ou.

[3:20:56] for y ou. >> well, but what I'm saying

[3:20:58] is we c an't set a number. >> no.

[3:21:02] >> we d on't have the explanation for that number.

[3:21:04] . Er that would b e the

[3:21:06] extension, right, 30 million? >> yes, and again, remember

[3:21:10] when she was saying it's still

[3:21:12] unclear as far as matching versus not matching, I could

[3:21:15] tell you my conversations with

[3:21:16] leadership in tallahassee, they want t o know the extent

[3:21:21] of what needs t o be done in

[3:21:24] the state and unless we give

[3:21:25] them the numbers and apply, they're not going t o know

[3:21:28] that, so that's the uncertainty of this whole

[3:21:31] thing, I would love for them

[3:21:33] to say, yeah, here's 150 million d ollars, go find 15

[3:21:38] million dollars, you know, I doubt that's going to happen

[3:21:39] but somehow w e'll find another

[3:21:39] 150 million dollars if we have

[3:21:42] to, but they need to know the we've

[3:21:45] we've put into this so our

[3:21:48] recommendation is o bviously the first t hree, we can do

[3:21:52] that but let's go ahead and submit everything a nd move

[3:21:55] forward a nd give tallahassee a

[3:21:59] good report o n where we're at

[3:22:01] because we are -- I think we

[3:22:03] are ahead o f the game, nobody else has done this much.

[3:22:06] >> what do you mean by done this much?

[3:22:08] >> as far as going into s much detail.

[3:22:11] >> no, not to my knowledge. >> so, we're really at the

[3:22:19] top of the spear here and we need

[3:22:23] to present all this to hall has -- tallahassee.

[3:22:26] >> as we should be. >> it's h ard to make

[3:22:30] decisions direction w ith hypothetical,

[3:22:35] direction w ith hypothetical, so -- a nd I like that the top

[3:22:40] three, the tavernier, I like that they're regionally

[3:22:42] chosen if you will.

[3:22:44] do you need a decision, I'm from

[3:22:47] from us today ?frjt really the top

[3:22:51] one today, then we can -- like

[3:22:56] rhonda says, we can come back aren't due until september.

[3:23:01] aren't due until september. >> the only t hing I would add

[3:23:02] -- >> right.

[3:23:08] >> right. Correct. >> [inaudible].

[3:23:13] [inaudible]. >> who's talking? >> [inaudible].

[3:23:17] >> and remember what happened last year, yeah, one more

[3:23:22] point, what h appened last year, w e didn't apply because

[3:23:25] of the match constraint and other folks g ot money that

[3:23:29] didn't -- there w as 16z prompting.

[3:23:31] there w as 16z prompting. Knowledge at the present time

[3:23:36] knowledge at the present time the prudent action is to

[3:23:40] the prudent action is to apply

[3:23:44] because as those gaps fill in,

[3:23:46] it may be I n our benefit to be

[3:23:48] in the game. >> exactly.

[3:23:52] >> I didn't figure it was a

[3:23:55] accident that those top three represent one project I n the

[3:23:58] lower keys, m iddle keys and upper k eys, nice choosing,

[3:24:01] roman. >> it wasn't me, I can't

[3:24:03] credit for that. >> do y ou need direction on

[3:24:07] matching or not matching the >> we n eed direction on that.

[3:24:12] >> we n eed direction on that. To this, again, the projects

[3:24:17] to this, again, the projects rank higher I f they are

[3:24:20] identified in your vulnerability assessment, some

[3:24:21] are, some a re not, the roads the

[3:24:26] the roads p lan also doesn't meet

[3:24:29] all the s tate criteria for a vulnerability basement, a ses

[3:24:34] -- assessment so what we are

[3:24:35] going to do is an atenbacker pen dix t o your vulnerability

[3:24:38] assessment to support a ll these projects with some

[3:24:40] modeling and some mapping. We need time to do that, so

[3:24:43] if we could get some direction

[3:24:43] from you today to go forth and

[3:24:45] do that, we c an at least start

[3:24:49] that process. >> well, I believe we have

[3:24:51] some public s peakers, am I

[3:24:53] correct? Jethon, do you have anybody

[3:24:58] jethon, do you have anybody with their hand raised?

[3:25:02] >> [inaudible] with their hand raised.

[3:25:07] >> uz t hat a no or a yes?

[3:25:10] >> there are no hands raised.

[3:25:12] >> your first speaker will by

[3:25:38] by marrow garcia. -- mario garcia.

[3:25:44] >> while they're getting set workshop on t his?

[3:25:49] workshop on t his? I feel like this is an

[3:25:54] enormous amount of that you're a sking us to

[3:26:03] that you're a sking us to

[3:26:06] digest in an hour and I th

[3:26:08] for u s to get feedback fro

[3:26:09] constituents and just for us, lot of this right now.

[3:26:13] lot of this right now.

[3:26:14] and I s ay that I know you've little

[3:26:18] little spoonfuls for y ears now but

[3:26:21] we're now at the point we have

[3:26:23] new commissioners, we h ave new

[3:26:25] information on this a nd the funding a nd I think this

[3:26:29] takes more than just an hour of our

[3:26:31] time right now. To do that?

[3:26:35] to do that? >> can we do it on zoom?

[3:26:39] >> on z oom, hybrid? >> yes, just so we can all be

[3:26:42] more available than normal. >> sure.

[3:26:45] >> do w e have to do it fair

[3:26:48] soon because the applications are due s eptember 1 and

[3:26:51] they're complex s o we need direction on which ones to

[3:26:53] move forward, we can't wait too long.

[3:26:56] er ffrnlt w e're going to be option unless it's

[3:27:00] option unless it's extraordinary circumstances.

[3:27:03] >> okay, I mean, I know we everyone's summer schedules.

[3:27:07] everyone's summer schedules. >> I think we do need to f

[3:27:11] out s ome of the blanks in ou

[3:27:13] knowledge, some o f them there

[3:27:13] is no knowledge t o fill those we

[3:27:16] we have to r ecognize that, we can

[3:27:21] workshop it all w e want but

[3:27:24] when there is no information and it's a fluid process,

[3:27:26] we're not going t o get those blanks filled in.

[3:27:31] I t hink the prudent thing to probably

[3:27:32] probably do what staff would like us

[3:27:34] to do is a pprove the three top,

[3:27:38] we can always do a project or

[3:27:42] we can always stop if we s reasons t o do that.

[3:27:47] we're n ot 100% committed to doing that project prior to

[3:27:52] having all that information in

[3:27:55] in a timely fashion, we be --

[3:27:59] won't b e in the game and we money.

[3:28:00] money. I t hink we always want to have

[3:28:03] a chance at b ring ining out of

[3:28:06] county money to help pay for these expensive p rojects.

[3:28:11] >> well, that's u nderstood. >> yeah, I didn't think

[3:28:13] anybody didn't understand it,

[3:28:17] but I think w e have to be

[3:28:20] there, we have to -- we hav

[3:28:22] to take s ome steps that are

[3:28:24] preliminary s teps that we can always back away from if

[3:28:29] reasons develop w hy we shouldn't p roceed but if we

[3:28:33] don't t ake those steps early

[3:28:35] on, we won't get a chance t

[3:28:36] make that decision later because w e won't be in the

[3:28:42] game websinger won't have a ny money o n the table.

[3:28:46] so, t hat's my only comment. It is an exceedingly complex

[3:28:50] area, I c ertainly would welcome a workshop but I

[3:28:53] think discussions on a timeline

[3:28:57] discussions on a timeline that

[3:29:01] we're looking at that for the necessary.

[3:29:02] necessary. >> absolutely, and I didn't

[3:29:08] mean to I mply that we wouldn't

[3:29:11] be making some decisions today, I think at some point

[3:29:15] have a workshop to educate our

[3:29:16] rez dens what we're doing might be beneficial.

[3:29:20] >> or in the interim, I k

[3:29:21] we're going come back and revisit t his in july, could

[3:29:24] we in the meantime if you need

[3:29:24] decisions to move forward with

[3:29:28] the top t hree and then just get us information between

[3:29:32] now >> maybe we can, I guess

[3:29:36] >> maybe we can, I guess

[3:29:39] information c omes to us from forces that w e do not control

[3:29:42] , so maybe we w ill, maybe we

[3:29:45] woen on that timeline. >> commissioner scholl, do

[3:29:46] you want to say something?

[3:29:49] >> I like what roman said gaps

[3:29:51] gaps in the information but we need

[3:29:54] to absolutely be in the g ame tallahassee

[3:29:58] tallahassee whether w e know whether

[3:30:02] whether w e know whether there's going to be match o r

[3:30:07] not and when I was talking

[3:30:07] with rhonda, she made a point

[3:30:08] that the last round of was supposed to h ave match

[3:30:11] was supposed to h ave match but

[3:30:15] then they c hanged the rules and doled o ut money without

[3:30:19] match, so I f you give them a

[3:30:20] large l ist of projects and

[3:30:22] they end up with a whole

[3:30:24] bufrnl of m oney and say you

[3:30:25] have to match these, you c

[3:30:25] also refuse a grant if you

[3:30:27] can't fund it, but you have be in the game.

[3:30:31] be in the game. >> yeah. >> if I may?

[3:30:38] >> let's go ahead with publ

[3:30:42] comments, if you could start kind of w here you live.

[3:30:46] kind of w here you live. >> okay, first of all, excuse

[3:30:49] my nervousness, t his is the first time that I can

[3:30:53] approach

[3:30:56] the county commissioners, my part of the board of

[3:31:03] part of the board of directors

[3:31:07] for w ink, blink and nod,

[3:31:09] mario a nd I are part of t

[3:31:11] board o f directors for wink, blink and nod, thank you,

[3:31:13] rhonda, for g uiding us through

[3:31:17] this process. Our c ommunity consists of

[3:31:20] about 86 lots, I shared some

[3:31:23] pictures of t he damage to the hurricane I rma with the

[3:31:26] hurricane I rma with the commissioners.

[3:31:33] we lost about 6-8 feet of jetty, while I completely

[3:31:38] understand this I s a private community, we don't have

[3:31:41] gates or fences and w hat we are

[3:31:45] requesting is for us to be considered in this

[3:31:49] application. Iz completely understand your

[3:31:49] position from abacker county commissioners and I r espect

[3:31:52] it because having worked f or carp

[3:31:58] rat america, if you don't p ut

[3:32:01] in your application f or the budget, you a re not in

[3:32:05] consideration, you can always pivot as needed, whether you

[3:32:11] pivot as needed, whether you

[3:32:15] get it or you don't, so, ou

[3:32:18] challenge is that we lost 6

[3:32:20] feet of j etty and that is o

[3:32:23] the m ain canal and while tha

[3:32:25] storm s urge took down those boulders that were there, I

[3:32:29] actually goes u p the main canal a nd would go right

[3:32:32] across u.s. 1 a nd the it is o ur private community,

[3:32:34] it is o ur private community, I

[3:32:36] aom -- I'm not going to dephi

[3:32:40] that but when t he storm surge comes through, it doesn't

[3:32:44] distinguish between p ublic private land, I t treats them

[3:32:49] private land, I t treats them all the s ame.

[3:32:53] and o ur ask is -- I know I

[3:32:56] went through years ago, but our community, most o f our

[3:33:00] neighbors s pent their time fixing their own properties

[3:33:03] ask t rying to recover from

[3:33:04] that, a s a board of director

[3:33:05] elected a cup of years ago,

[3:33:08] we picked this up from the

[3:33:13] previous board, s o my first estimates

[3:33:19] estimates , rhonda provided a l ot of

[3:33:25] guidance and I got a verbal

[3:33:28] estimate from ltl, I got an

[3:33:30] e-mail from t hem that they 800, maybe a thousand tons o

[3:33:35] 800, maybe a thousand tons o material, they could do it

[3:33:39] within 3-5 weeks and it would thousand dollars, sorry,

[3:33:42] thousand dollars, sorry, rhonda, I g ot that late

[3:33:50] yesterday a fternoon from atl diversified f rom clinton

[3:33:54] hodges, so our request is for county, I t protects our

[3:33:58] county, I t protects our community b ut it also

[3:33:59] protects is are right on u .s. 1, we

[3:34:02] is are right on u .s. 1, we are

[3:34:06] across from buttonwood bay on

[3:34:08] the ocean side and I'm sorry

[3:34:10] if I went too fast, I was a

[3:34:12] little bit nervous. >> you did very well.

[3:34:17] >> anything e lse? >> so, we would just like

[3:34:24] be part o f the application, duck key is also private,

[3:34:29] right, we're private but like I s aid, a storm sewerageurge

[3:34:31] comes through, it doesn't say this is public, this is

[3:34:33] private, we're going to go through that area, it hits

[3:34:37] everywhere, and o ur main canal, our jetty f ewe look

[3:34:38] at that picture, it took the

[3:34:41] brun

[3:34:46] of the hit for the main cana

[3:34:49] and right up that canal goes

[3:34:52] out t o a barbershop, an art office, o kay, any questions?

[3:34:54] office, o kay, any questions? Sorry. >> mr. Mayor?

[3:34:57] >> I think you covered it very

[3:34:59] well, thank you so much. >> I have a couple of

[3:35:04] comments, m r. Mayor, I'm well issue, it's my district, I

[3:35:07] issue, it's my district, I

[3:35:06] would ask of you if y ou want a

[3:35:09] a very important and critical

[3:35:10] project right there I n that neighborhood, would you a ll

[3:35:13] be the g ame?

[3:35:16] the g ame? Because we're ging to g o to

[3:35:20] the state a nd ask for these

[3:35:23] taxpayer resources for a maybe go back to your board

[3:35:29] maybe go back to your board

[3:35:32] and y our members and discuss this f we were to considering

[3:35:34] this, w ould you all be willing

[3:35:37] to have some skin in the game? Representative holly, and I

[3:35:41] representative holly, and I am

[3:35:43] basically where the m ayor was speaking a minute ago, if we

[3:35:47] don't apply, we don't know and

[3:35:49] what you come back with, if we

[3:35:53] have -- we are willing to contribute on our behalf,

[3:35:57] right, to h elp this out, how

[3:35:59] much that is, how much we can

[3:36:00] gather, how w e go about funding, we d on't know, but

[3:36:02] if we didn't come in front of

[3:36:04] you today, we wouldn't even have

[3:36:06] that chance, so I guess my

[3:36:07] answer is on behalf of the community, this is something

[3:36:12] community, this is something

[3:36:13] we would take up if you cam

[3:36:17] to us a nd said you have a it to our membership.

[3:36:19] it to our membership. Did that provide an answer?

[3:36:21] >> yes sx, you did a wonderful

[3:36:24] job presenting by the w ay. >> apologies, I did not

[3:36:27] prepare material, a deck or anything else, I hope the

[3:36:31] pictures show the extent of the d elay from hurricane irma

[3:36:36] the d elay from hurricane irma is most of our property

[3:36:39] owners were handling t heir own

[3:36:39] damages for t wo or three after t hat.

[3:36:47] after t hat. >> thank you so much. >> okay.

[3:36:52] >> I'm mario garcia, from wink, b link and nod, and

[3:36:57] mayor, thank you for the mind

[3:36:58] set of trying to get everything in, in o ne shot,

[3:37:01] that's the way to g o on this,

[3:37:02] I was p leasantly surprised to docket

[3:37:03] docket up there, I was n ot aware of

[3:37:07] that, that was good. Andy is v ery well spoken, I

[3:37:12] don't have much to add other than this break water

[3:37:15] situation in our little community which we call o ur

[3:37:16] slice o f paradise, it's really

[3:37:19] hot ticket item for us and I thing

[3:37:22] thing that andy said in r egards to

[3:37:26] participation, we'll do whatever it t akes if it's

[3:37:28] reasonable, ba tl 's all sortser of people that live

[3:37:32] there, but whatever we can do try

[3:37:33] try to the best o f our ability

[3:37:35] and I don't want to beat a dead

[3:37:38] horse, I think he spoke well thank

[3:37:39] thank today.

[3:37:45] today. >> thank you for coming.

[3:37:50] >> thank you for coming. >> he w as the final speaker.

[3:38:01] >>on, so what drk -- okay, so

[3:38:05] what do we need a t this point. Everything and --

[3:38:07] everything and -- >> I think I was talking to

[3:38:10] erin, w e thought we'll wait to

[3:38:13] july to move forward but she projects ready.

[3:38:18] projects ready. >> I understand the magnitude

[3:38:22] from today until the material

[3:38:25] is ready for application.

[3:38:28] >> august 3 1. Time off of that because it

[3:38:33] time off of that because it

[3:38:37] gets impossible after a while. A motion, somebody.

[3:38:41] a motion, somebody. Approve t he planning

[3:38:43] approve t he planning projects,

[3:38:46] the s hore line projects and the road projects?

[3:38:48] >> the top three.

[3:38:52] . Three, isn't it?

[3:38:58] three, isn't it? >> no, all of them.

[3:39:03] >> so, the 15 road projects as

[3:39:07] well as the three shore line key transfer station and the

[3:39:13] key transfer station and the as the planning projects for

[3:39:18] as the planning projects for the m unicipal roads and the

[3:39:19] neighborhood adaptation plan. >> yes.

[3:39:19] >> so, that would b e the motion.

[3:39:22] >> that s hould require a small

[3:39:25] army of grant writers I would say.

[3:39:28] >> you're l ooking at her. >> [laughter], wow.

[3:39:31] >> and emilio. >> did I just include

[3:39:34] everything that needed to be

[3:39:37] in that m otion? >> well, I think what staff

[3:39:41] was trying to point o ut that

[3:39:43] the first three a re going to

[3:39:45] have matches or apply to the

[3:39:46] with matches, and t hen the other o nes, we're not, so

[3:39:49] that's clear the way that presented.

[3:39:52] presented. >> so, I would like to just

[3:39:56] make a note that list tof 15,

[3:39:57] there might be some tweak tos

[3:39:57] one or two of the projects on

[3:39:59] that list, we may need substitutions and we can

[3:40:02] certainly report that, we haven't had a chance to --

[3:40:04] >> go a head. >> I was going to say which

[3:40:07] is fine, you k now, to make tweaks

[3:40:10] in july but we need to start

[3:40:11] the p rocess of modeling and going.

[3:40:12] going. >> I'll second the motion.

[3:40:14] >> we h ave a motion, do we >> second.

[3:40:20] >> second.

[3:40:23] >> we h ave a second. So, we're g oing to bite off

[3:40:29] so, we're g oing to bite off

[3:40:32] the b ig chunk, we're going t

[3:40:35] adjust it a t a later date, if

[3:40:38] we get funding and there are

[3:40:41] reasons why w e see that we

[3:40:44] could not o r should not proceed, we can always not

[3:40:49] proceed but I think this does receiving funding because I f

[3:40:53] receiving funding because I f you don't a sk, you don't get.

[3:40:57] >> may yo, this reminds me 1 conversation and the

[3:41:02] conversation and the uncertainty I n the room, the

[3:41:05] almost fear in the room to start talking absea l evel

[3:41:07] rise and adaptation and all that

[3:41:08] stuff, you remember y ou had some colleagues back then

[3:41:10] that didn't want to have this

[3:41:13] conversation and here we are talking a bout that we're

[3:41:16] talking a bout that we're studying it b ut we're going

[3:41:18] to do something about it, so

[3:41:20] thank you f or your leadership on that.

[3:41:24] >> certainly, certainly. I look back o ver the years, I

[3:41:28] remember when there w as fear in the county that we

[3:41:31] couldn't afford a paid group of firemen

[3:41:35] to replace our volunteers. I r emember the trepidation

[3:41:39] and we have accomplished.

[3:41:45] we have accomplished.

[3:41:48] it takes time and you have t

[3:41:52] bite it o ff a piece at a ti

[3:41:55] but we have a history of

[3:41:57] getting where we need to go support f rom other resources

[3:42:01] support f rom other resources outside the c ounty, so we

[3:42:04] always appreciate t hat. >> so, this was not my last

[3:42:06] slide, this w as my last slide,

[3:42:07] I thought I m ight need this avoid anybody t hrowing

[3:42:11] avoid anybody t hrowing anything at me, b ut --

[3:42:16] >> okay, well, I guess -- direction we need, thank you.

[3:42:20] direction we need, thank you. >> okay.

[3:42:21] skfrjts mayor, there was no opposition to that motion,

[3:42:25] crediting? >> -- c orrect.

[3:42:26] >> is t here any opposition to it's passed.

[3:42:30] it's passed. >> thank you. >> thank you.

[3:42:36] >> would this be a good time to break for lunch?

[3:42:41] >> so, we ran a little long,

[3:42:44] do you want t o come back at

[3:42:46] 2:00 for the 1:30 hearings hour before we're supposed to

[3:42:51] hour before we're supposed to be back. >> yeah.

[3:42:53] >> 2:00? >> 2:00. >> does that work?

[3:42:58] >> craig, are y ou alright with that?

[3:43:24] >> yes. Here.

[3:52:08] here. >> I know.

[3:55:29] >> I have a q uestion, the

[3:55:32] cpi's gone up a significant amount this y ear, but this

[3:55:35] bridge is in need of repair know how much capital dollars

[3:55:40] know how much capital dollars we have set aside for that

[3:55:44] already, but I would think we would perhaps n eed to

[3:55:47] consider having a little bit more of

[3:55:48] raise in the toll like a

[3:55:52] dollar. I don't t hink that's onerous

[3:56:00] to me b ut I don't use that

[3:56:03] bridge tall time, but I ju -- I'm concerned that that's

[3:56:06] going to be a very expensive project.

[3:56:06] >> can you comment on that for us.

[3:56:09] >> I happen to agree and I'

[3:56:13] not sure that today is the

[3:56:13] right time to d o it because

[3:56:15] not a l ot of people had a l

[3:56:16] of advanced w arning about it but I t hink we should

[3:56:20] consider raising t he toll

[3:56:20] significantly, both judy and I

[3:56:26] told you when we accomplishe

[3:56:29] toll by plate, we thought we

[3:56:29] should go to 200 or 300 % time,

[3:56:32] time, fairness -- we can discuss it

[3:56:36] and we'll t ake your guidance,

[3:56:40] if we c hange it today, there

[3:56:42] will be p eople who will say, warning o f the significant

[3:56:45] warning o f the significant change, commissioner, I

[3:56:45] appreciate you bringing it up,

[3:56:48] it's exactly the right thing conversations with all of you

[3:56:53] conversations with all of you

[3:56:54] which you a ll agree, so my

[3:56:57] suggestion is you approve it back with a different plan

[3:57:02] back with a different plan proposal that w e can start

[3:57:05] discussing -- n ormally we approve these thing I ns june,

[3:57:08] we'll b ring it back somewher around february or march so

[3:57:12] there's a l ot of advanced warning, whatever t he key

[3:57:15] largo meeting is in that time be march.

[3:57:15] be march. >> ma . Er

[3:57:19] >> -- march. >> and then w e can have a

[3:57:24] complete discussion, those people who use it a lot would

[3:57:27] be able t o be represented and with them, I'm avoiding

[3:57:32] with them, I'm avoiding calling it an argument,

[3:57:33] that's the approach.

[3:57:35] >> it s eems odd to me we've had

[3:57:39] had to replace that bridge sooner

[3:57:41] or later and now at the la moment, w e're talking about

[3:57:46] raising a f ew bucks on the we'll n ever raise enough

[3:57:48] we'll n ever raise enough in this short period of time

[3:57:52] in this short period of time

[3:57:57] to pay for the bridge, so w

[3:58:00] better hope f or some more opm. Strategy but, yes, sir.

[3:58:03] strategy but, yes, sir. >> that seems like a

[3:58:07] reasonable approach. >> just a for must seconds,

[3:58:10] I'm sure judy may have

[3:58:12] something to say about it, we

[3:58:15] came to you w ith a plan when

[3:58:18] we established this thing and to raise for some significant

[3:58:22] to raise for some significant replacement t of percentage,

[3:58:26] when we're ready to do it, we

[3:58:29] can then debt finance going to do public infrastructure,

[3:58:32] to do public infrastructure, then probably use s ome other

[3:58:35] people's money, s tate or federal, that will be a

[3:58:40] strategy, j udy's already we've budgeted fund t o do

[3:58:45] we've budgeted fund t o do

[3:58:48] that, I t's a multiyear lan to

[3:58:49] get to the the replacement the a pproach we've taken,

[3:58:52] the a pproach we've taken, from

[3:58:55] the o utside looking in, it

[3:59:02] had it at this rate and I'm

[3:59:07] it at this rate and I'm

[3:59:10] assuming that five years ago, recommendations, frankly, I

[3:59:12] recommendations, frankly, I don't remember that.

[3:59:16] >> there was -- >> [inaudible]. >> go ahead, judy.

[3:59:22] >> I'm sorry? >> mayor rice, you may be the

[3:59:27] only one that will remember, study

[3:59:27] study as we were automate thing toll

[3:59:31] and we came b ack and looked at

[3:59:35] different levels and I believe

[3:59:39] we did want I t to be higher 2022-06-15t14:07:25.0585701-04:00

[3:59:41] 2022-06-15t14:07:25.0585701-04:00 mainly for a lot of the private passenger v ehicles

[3:59:45] that commute da daily, workers t hat use that road,

[3:59:50] so, yes, it's probably time to

[3:59:51] take another look at it. >> well, I certainly agree

[3:59:55] with that. >> mr. Mayor? >> we'll entertain a motion.

[3:59:58] >> thank you, m ay I ask a question please.

[4:00:01] >> you just did. >> may I ask another?

[4:00:01] >> yes. Er >> thank y ou.

[4:00:09] >> judy, remind me, that th

[4:00:12] point, didn't w e come up with

[4:00:13] a special sun p ass or a plan

[4:00:14] if r the workers and people who fraoegtly go back and

[4:00:18] forth? . Er yes, there a re two

[4:00:22] programs, t here's one that is an annual p ass, these are

[4:00:26] only for p rivate passenger vehicles

[4:00:30] and you need have a sun pass

[4:00:33] account but y ou can purchase an annual p ass and that's

[4:00:35] unlimited u se of going through

[4:00:40] the toll for an annual

[4:00:43] calendar period a nd that is

[4:00:46] set each year, the price of

[4:00:48] that is s et each year to be

[4:00:49] 50% of an estimated number of

[4:00:52] -- basic estimated number of trips through, five d ays a

[4:00:56] week, every w eek, and we calculate it that way, it's

[4:00:59] basically a 50% savings. We also h ave a second program

[4:01:02] for maybe p eople that can't purchase a pass for the

[4:01:05] purchase a pass for the entire

[4:01:09] year, if you have a sun pass

[4:01:13] account and I t's in good standing again, j ust for

[4:01:16] private p assenger vehicles, and I didn't check the number

[4:01:20] and I didn't check the number through t he toll, single

[4:01:26] through t he toll, single passes through, y ou're

[4:01:31] considered a frequent user and

[4:01:35] in your next month's credit so, we do have two

[4:01:43] credit so, we do have two

[4:01:45] programs that do reduce the cost for frequent users under

[4:01:49] those c onditions, so it's a low toll if you take

[4:01:51] advantage of nose g iven --

[4:01:53] >> and judy, I was reminded there's t he annual paz option.

[4:01:56] . Er that's what I discussed,

[4:01:58] yes, those are the two, the the monthly r ebate.

[4:02:02] the monthly r ebate. >> so, we w ould be doing

[4:02:06] that, adding that component to

[4:02:09] bha fr we're doing waez raise the t olerates?

[4:02:12] >> it's a lways available every

[4:02:16] year and as w e adjust the rates, we r ecalculate the

[4:02:21] annual pass c alculation which includes the rate going

[4:02:24] through the toll and the course the rebate t monthly

[4:02:28] course the rebate t monthly

[4:02:31] rebate program is j ust on the

[4:02:34] actual cost and y ou get a 40%

[4:02:35] reduction a s you've -- once through,

[4:02:37] through, so yes, those programs

[4:02:40] continue each year and are adjusted. >> mr. Mayor?

[4:02:43] >> yes, s ir. >> you want t o go first?

[4:02:45] >> I want to make a commen agree w ith the

[4:02:50] agree w ith the recommendations

[4:02:54] of kevin and also I think

[4:02:56] definitely need to raise the rates t o start funding the

[4:03:00] source because the pain of increasing the rates will be

[4:03:03] far less than if we have to

[4:03:04] close that bridge because w e don't have the money to

[4:03:08] repair move forward with that and

[4:03:12] move forward with that and to discuss that so everybody

[4:03:17] to discuss that so everybody can -- citizens can have

[4:03:20] input >> and thank you, mr. Mayor,

[4:03:23] >> and thank you, mr. Mayor, and good comments, pro tem

[4:03:28] cates, kevin, w ill the annual pass holders, or the option

[4:03:31] number 2 folk, will they ge a

[4:03:33] notice that the rate will be

[4:03:35] increasing or will it show up? At a discount.

[4:03:38] at a discount. >> we d on't send out specific

[4:03:42] notices, each year when we

[4:03:44] increase this, we d o send out there's already been an

[4:03:47] there's already been an article in the newspaper that

[4:03:50] this was going to be discussed

[4:03:54] and then of c ourse we post the

[4:03:58] signage s o that everyone's are changing, w e have to

[4:04:02] are changing, w e have to notify the department o f

[4:04:05] transportation, they operate payment processing for us.

[4:04:08] payment processing for us. >> we let it out, and we

[4:04:29] out but w e do not send individual notices to each

[4:04:34] person. >> any further questions?

[4:04:42] do we h ave a second? >> second. >> any objections?

[4:06:08] up, there a re two items that come together, john will

[4:06:13] that come together, john will

[4:06:15] be here I n a moment to -- as

[4:06:18] my boss says, ham a nd egg it

[4:06:19] with me, okay, this I s going

[4:06:19] to look longer than it is

[4:06:21] because you've seen a l ot of this

[4:06:25] this there we go, okay, you know

[4:06:28] there we go, okay, you know

[4:06:31] what it is, bay drive, rig recreational area, just so

[4:06:36] recreational area, just so everybody remembers, it's bay

[4:06:41] drive, not mike forester pa parks a nd rec advisory board

[4:06:45] meeting, commission gave us some direction, w e changed

[4:06:48] the parking penalties out there,

[4:06:50] what's the objective, we talked to y ou back in march

[4:06:54] and you s aid come back with

[4:06:54] some ideas, we've d ope that, here's the idea, let's do

[4:06:58] some off s treet parking possibly,

[4:07:01] move the fence back f rom the 50

[4:07:04] 50 feet, you g et 8 parking spays

[4:07:08] and is ark da parking space, back

[4:07:11] back 100 feet, I 'm told we probably

[4:07:14] couldn't go back 100, probably

[4:07:17] 80, t here's a depression, replace t hat area with

[4:07:21] gravel, put parking bumpers I n there,

[4:07:23] appropriate stuff and t hen comes t he question of is it

[4:07:27] free parking, anybody c an come

[4:07:29] because it's still a county facility, a nybody's allowed

[4:07:32] there, john w ill talk in a

[4:07:34] minute about how we might be

[4:07:35] able to c harge for parking from people that are not f

[4:07:39] the c ounty and have people that are from the county have

[4:07:42] free parking there. And I think tla covers all o

[4:07:46] my stuff. You're up, john.

[4:07:48] f y ou have any questions, okay, here's the question for

[4:07:53] you, do you want us to do that

[4:07:56] and if so, do you have some much parking?

[4:07:58] much parking? Okay, you s hould tell me you

[4:08:00] want me t o give you a recommendation, my

[4:08:04] recommendation is we move about 50, 6 0 feet and get 9

[4:08:06] or so parking space, it's enough

[4:08:07] to make the place feel you can

[4:08:11] get there, people from the

[4:08:13] neighborhood can use it, neighborhood can still drive

[4:08:17] neighborhood can still drive there a nd use it, if we push

[4:08:22] it farther and make 20 parking

[4:08:22] spaces, it's going to b egin to feel crowded.

[4:08:26] >> mr. Mayor, if I might, I'll

[4:08:30] weigh in first. I looked at it and I thought

[4:08:34] that larger n umber was too

[4:08:36] much, t hat it did just wha

[4:08:37] you s aid, it takes it away it

[4:08:40] it just a parking lot, I like

[4:08:43] the idea of somewhere between 8

[4:08:46] and 1 0 parking spots, so you don't l ive in walking

[4:08:50] don't l ive in walking distance

[4:08:52] of that neighborhood but who county

[4:08:57] county to baibl access that park and

[4:09:01] park and enjoy the space, s

[4:09:02] that's my opinion . >> anybody else?

[4:09:10] >> anybody else? >> I just wanted to say I

[4:09:15] agree with that, too many

[4:09:15] parking places, there w ill be too m any people tat beach,

[4:09:19] not a g ood experience, there lob

[4:09:21] locals who walk there, so I agree w ith you 100% there.

[4:09:26] >> and it's not really a c somewhere between 1 5-20

[4:09:28] somewhere between 1 5-20 thousand dollars, we'll d o it

[4:09:31] with our own labor, that includes our labor cost but

[4:09:34] then you get to the next

[4:09:34] question of h ow do you do

[4:09:36] those thing and I s what do

[4:09:39] you do about hour a nd is opening

[4:09:43] hours and s uch and so, john's ready to talk about that.

[4:09:47] >> parking and hours. Parking and hours, yes.

[4:09:49] >> for that area there, I've

[4:09:50] been out there a few times to of

[4:09:52] of neighbors that live o ut there,

[4:09:54] something that if we do decide

[4:09:57] to do t his, we can continue with just the tuesday through

[4:10:02] thursday, k eeping it like that, keep thing traffic

[4:10:06] minimal l ike that and we can

[4:10:06] talk about the fees and all there,

[4:10:08] there, there is a lot of traffic

[4:10:11] that comes in and out and I went

[4:10:13] by a c ouple of families

[4:10:15] a c ouple of families utilizing

[4:10:18] it out there, so I agree a

[4:10:21] ago f ew small parking places still keeping it tuesday

[4:10:24] still keeping it tuesday win, win for everybody that

[4:10:26] win, win for everybody that is

[4:10:29] out there right now at this

[4:10:33] time. Going into segway, goik into

[4:10:37] that part now, segway into I'm basically h ere for the

[4:10:41] I'm basically h ere for the the p ossible installation of

[4:10:45] the p ossible installation of payment application s oftware

[4:10:48] for p arking and boat ramp at

[4:10:51] harry harris park and o ther

[4:10:53] parks as needed in the future

[4:10:54] f we decide t o do this with

[4:10:57] the right o f way, that would

[4:10:59] be another park that I would [inaudible] or mark m obile

[4:11:01] [inaudible] or mark m obile tor

[4:11:02] other applications out there to charge non-residents to be

[4:11:06] able to p ark and our residents

[4:11:09] is free, talk about the p ark

[4:11:11] that's not this park but mik road, I would strongly

[4:11:15] road, I would strongly recommend having a fee for

[4:11:18] non-residents to use that as well.

[4:11:21] the reason being, I talk today

[4:11:25] the community o ut there, they send me pictures, I've horsed

[4:11:28] 2022-06-15t14:19:13.2057426-04:00 -- observed it and just

[4:11:31] observing the p arking, I met luncheon, but, you know, the

[4:11:36] luncheon, but, you know, the late mike f orester talked to

[4:11:40] me, t hat was hoover his concerns, w e talked at length

[4:11:43] about t he parking issues at

[4:11:45] that time at sunset park and commissioner raschein about

[4:11:48] commissioner raschein about en, I have pictures I can

[4:11:53] en, I have pictures I can

[4:11:56] share w ith you where boat trailers are lined up at mike

[4:12:01] forester memorial park, they

[4:12:03] rev u p their jet skis before

[4:12:06] going into it, there is a lot

[4:12:07] of concerns and h aving that pay b y app and charging the

[4:12:10] non-residents t o utilize it would be great for our

[4:12:12] residents and great f or the neighborhoods to be ailt use

[4:12:16] itment some o f the other --

[4:12:17] out there observing, some o f the other t hings I strongly

[4:12:21] think t he parking application would b e for, parking apps

[4:12:23] are easy to use, you can pay for

[4:12:25] it a viert of ways, if you get

[4:12:27] lost, you c an always find your

[4:12:29] car, roman told me that, roman

[4:12:36] may have experience with that,

[4:12:40] you c an eliminate the toll booth that's out there that's

[4:12:44] 2022-06-15t14:20:29.0151309-04:00 at harry harris, finding change has become an issue,

[4:12:49] the line get ining and out is

[4:12:52] hard and goes t hrough the neighborhood, it's hard to

[4:12:56] pull through, p eople don't know thousand pull boats so

[4:13:01] it becomes a n issue get hinting

[4:13:04] that space, there w ould be no more staff deposits, parking

[4:13:08] apps, most of t hem, all of

[4:13:10] them are no c ost to the

[4:13:12] county, they come I n and do

[4:13:12] it, t he way they make their surcharge

[4:13:15] surcharge cents u p to 75 cents in

[4:13:18] cents u p to 75 cents in that we would set

[4:13:23] that we would set established,

[4:13:23] residents could still p ark and

[4:13:28] launch their boats for free, just in p articular would be

[4:13:33] without waiting a t a toll booth, the parking app gives

[4:13:37] me up t o the minute data, I if

[4:13:40] if the boat ramp I s pull, we can

[4:13:43] put some things on social media with the codes, they

[4:13:47] give you codes like the boat or

[4:13:48] or whatever in t he parking over

[4:13:51] here, people that are coming it's full w ithout having to

[4:13:55] it's full w ithout having to boat ramp.

[4:13:57] boat ramp. We could add days if needed

[4:14:00] and the b oat trailers in th neighborhood can always d o

[4:14:03] the drop and dash xh they do now,

[4:14:07] they can go and put their house, enforcement, I 'm still

[4:14:13] house, enforcement, I 'm still working o ut the details with

[4:14:18] sheriff r amsay and his team, and t alking with the captain

[4:14:21] yesterday, short term, we're going to have off duty

[4:14:25] officers to c ome out to mike forester memorial park and

[4:14:27] mike mare ris to help wit the

[4:14:31] line and see if it's full t

[4:14:32] tell them it's full and not still

[4:14:37] still have off duty officer tos

[4:14:39] have citations or potentially

[4:14:43] training staff like t he city

[4:14:43] of key west does to be able

[4:14:46] to issue citations websinger can

[4:14:52] proceed w ith an rfp to get review

[4:14:56] review and make selection, it could

[4:14:58] take 30-60 days, I.t. Would be

[4:15:01] a huge part with that, and the

[4:15:03] ordinance recommendation, I'm trying to get that together

[4:15:06] and I m ight meet with parks july

[4:15:08] july and kind of go over all those

[4:15:13] details w ith them, I'm trying in there or give some

[4:15:16] in there or give some authority t o roman to make

[4:15:19] some fees I f needed for

[4:15:19] parking and s o forth, so that hopefully

[4:15:24] hopefully in august after I meet with

[4:15:28] the p arks and rec advisory board to go over those

[4:15:33] details. Fi -- any questions?

[4:15:42] while and I u se that app myself, I t's so convenient,

[4:15:45] everybody is happy with it, it

[4:15:45] warns you that you are running

[4:15:48] out of time a nd you can put

[4:15:52] more time on it from your

[4:15:54] phone, I think that's a great

[4:15:57] idea, a nd plus good for managing the park and also a

[4:16:00] income for the county that's consistent. >> yes, s ir.

[4:16:03] >> a motion? >> move to approve.

[4:16:07] >> sek. -- second. >> thank you for doing all o

[4:16:11] this, this is part of the

[4:16:12] reason why we wanted to hire

[4:16:16] is going to make a big park

[4:16:20] park and is beaches, so good job.

[4:18:00] >> we could have commissioner comments, anybody have any

[4:18:05] comment they haven't already

[4:18:08] made?

[4:18:12] I h ave one thing I would like

[4:18:16] to say and just to point ou

[4:18:19] something, you know, in my

[4:18:22] experience on the commission, I've always w anted to have a

[4:18:27] good knowledge of what our and it's always been very

[4:18:30] and it's always been very some people, present company

[4:18:34] some people, present company excepted, w ould frequently

[4:18:38] write l etters and take positions on things and y ou

[4:18:42] always wonder, you hear from and you k now they're the

[4:18:45] and you k now they're the people who are following

[4:18:51] issues closely enough to sit

[4:18:55] down and write a letter but

[4:18:58] you k ind of wonder about the

[4:19:00] rest of the community and I have truly appreciated the

[4:19:03] input we get from the kimberly has done because

[4:19:05] kimberly has done because that

[4:19:09] comes straight from the community.

[4:19:45] ahead with that, we do liste

[4:19:48] to that a nd I just wanted to

[4:19:51] say t hat that information to our c ommunities much better

[4:19:54] our c ommunities much better than any alternatives that we

[4:19:59] used to have, so -- and it does change our decisions, so

[4:20:04] thank y ou, kimberly. >> well, I've enjoyed

[4:20:06] attending a few o f those with

[4:20:09] kimberly, it's fun to sit there and s ee the interaction

[4:20:12] 2022-06-15t14:27:55.9326136-04:00 of the community and what I

[4:20:15] would also add to that is I strongly encourage anyone who

[4:20:20] wasn't able to attend one o website because y ou can

[4:20:22] website because y ou can

[4:20:25] easily fill it o ut on our website a

[4:20:29] well and that way we can eve people.

[4:22:45] >> would you like me to ru thing?

[4:22:46] thing? >> certainly. >> if I may beg your

[4:22:50] indulgence for one slightly off t opic comment, I forgot

[4:22:52] to do something about the talk about - -

[4:22:55] >> hold t hat mic. Up a little bit.

[4:22:58] >> I'll get closer, this thing

[4:23:02] is so t all now. I'm well known for make ago

[4:23:07] specific comment when I w alk

[4:23:06] into a room of attorneys and case,

[4:23:09] case, I would like to give an

[4:23:12] attorney credit f or his engineering expertise.

[4:23:17] we were looking at ways to

[4:23:20] deal with bay drive a nd the

[4:23:22] guy whose idea it was I s to

[4:23:23] put parking n ose in on each side was nobody other than

[4:23:25] mr. To find a way t o do it and

[4:23:30] to find a way t o do it and

[4:23:34] that's how that got started.

[4:23:36] you r emember that, right, bob? Say ?frjts of course I'm

[4:23:41] say ?frjts of course I'm right, I'm bob.

[4:23:43] >> jethon, if you have time queue that thing up, I

[4:23:47] queue that thing up, I appreciate it.

[4:23:51] framing the I ssue, we've got requests for extraordinary

[4:23:55] rate increases, that is provided for in the contract

[4:23:57] when they're unusual all understand what's h appen

[4:24:04] all understand what's h appen ined the last 8 months, I

[4:24:09] don't s ee anything happening, jethon.

[4:24:14] I see a whole lot of hand you.

[4:24:18] you. That's a summary of the

[4:24:22] request, you've all seen th in the white paper that I

[4:24:26] sent you, in a ddition to the

[4:24:27] residential collection rate increases, there's requests

[4:24:29] for 4 d ollars ton more to haul

[4:24:33] out a nd dispose and our request for a n increase in

[4:24:35] the commercial collection which is

[4:24:37] something like 13%. The c ontract provides for them

[4:24:42] to be able to request it and

[4:24:46] they can request a fuel surcharge a s well which they

[4:24:49] have done, there is no such provision for fuel surcharge

[4:24:51] in the residential or haul out

[4:24:53] contracts, this I s all just from the audit report ts,

[4:24:55] from the audit report ts, this

[4:24:59] is the percentage of fuel an labor, the percentage of

[4:25:02] their expense that is are m ade up

[4:25:04] by fuel and labor, f uel is a

[4:25:06] pretty small percentage, labor

[4:25:08] is by f ar the biggest, we al experiencing

[4:25:11] experiencing with retaining labor down here

[4:25:17] and if you don't mind, greg,

[4:25:20] I'll out you and say you've

[4:25:22] had to increase your housing stiefrp, he's paying $750 a

[4:25:27] month t o his employees as a be

[4:25:30] be 500, that's all weighing in this.

[4:25:35] okay, earlier t oday, you approved us for maximum

[4:25:39] tentative s olid waste

[4:25:42] residential b asement of $446, this year, you'll notice what

[4:25:47] this year, you'll notice what the o ther jurisdictions are,

[4:25:50] aisle m orado is 4555, key west

[4:25:54] with lower levels of service, one g arbage a week and such

[4:25:58] is still 316, there's some other

[4:25:58] differences there, I wanted put I n perspective for some

[4:26:02] put I n perspective for some of

[4:26:09] our surrounding j urisdictions. The f uel surcharge provision

[4:26:12] in the contract says you c get a fuel surcharge when t

[4:26:17] fuel cost I s higher than 20%

[4:26:18] above when we signed the contract, you c an see from

[4:26:22] may 2014 through late last year,

[4:26:25] it was below it, as much as

[4:26:27] 50% below I t but you all kno

[4:26:29] what happened starting at the end of the year, november,

[4:26:34] december, the c ost of diesel

[4:26:36] fuel exploded and it's now years a go, so it certainly

[4:26:41] years a go, so it certainly triggers the provision of the

[4:26:43] contract. This is intended to s how you

[4:26:47] on the residential side what cpi increases t hey have

[4:26:50] gotten fser what were allowed in t

[4:26:52] contract, y ou'll notice that experience is much higher

[4:26:56] because they were capped at 2.5% ton residential

[4:27:00] collection, some years they got 0, you'll notice in

[4:27:07] 17-18-19, there w as no cpi adjustment allowed in t he

[4:27:12] contract, e ven though we experienced m oderate levels,

[4:27:17] 2, 2.9, 2.9, on the commercial

[4:27:20] side, you'll notice it only

[4:27:21] diverges as w e go into 2022 the

[4:27:25] the commercial side of 4% but

[4:27:30] you'll notice all o f the actual cpi's were lower than

[4:27:35] that until this year when cpi adjustment february t o

[4:27:37] february is 9.8% and is capped at 4.

[4:27:41] the n umbers are not super the t rend they've typically

[4:27:46] the t rend they've typically been below where cpi is over

[4:27:50] time. Okay. Some important things,

[4:27:50] there's a lot of moving p arts to

[4:27:54] this, everything that I s in this

[4:27:58] contract affects the residential a ssessment.

[4:28:01] fuel surcharge should g o up and d own as fuel fluctuates,

[4:28:06] we wouldn't want to just

[4:28:06] increase it for f uel and if way

[4:28:09] way surcharges work. Increase thing haul o ut and

[4:28:14] disposal cost affects residential a ssessment,

[4:28:17] commercial rates which we adjusted a few months ago if

[4:28:22] you r emember, it also affect what we c harge to the

[4:28:24] islamorada solid waste contractor, used to be

[4:28:25] advance, now it's waste management, we have a special

[4:28:28] contract if you might remember

[4:28:31] from 2014 that includes special rates for I slamorada,

[4:28:35] we can't increase what we p

[4:28:39] waste m anagement to haul it adjustment to a isle mortared

[4:28:44] adjustment to a isle mortared did, marauder -- islamorada,

[4:28:47] and that special thing for florida city, they'll h ave to

[4:28:52] start paying more too and across the scale tipping

[4:28:54] across the scale tipping rates

[4:28:55] for p eople who bring stuff I themselves, all of a sudden

[4:29:00] what we're paying to haul it we're letting p eople pay to

[4:29:04] we're letting p eople pay to say

[4:29:04] say everything's changed a lot in

[4:29:08] the l ast 6-8 months, my first

[4:29:11] reaction when I h eard this

[4:29:12] was I've got a contract that goes

[4:29:16] through 2024, wlie am I looking a t adjusting it, I

[4:29:21] came to the conclusion we need

[4:29:27] to be good partners and work

[4:29:31] out some plan, what is it.

[4:29:34] so, what I'm asking you to d

[4:29:35] today is tell us to go awa

[4:29:35] and t ell them, no, or my recommendation is work out

[4:29:38] the details of what it ought to

[4:29:41] be that's fair to both the

[4:29:44] franchisees and t o the county taxpayers and c ome back in

[4:29:47] july with whatever recommended

[4:29:49] changes the contract we o ught to make.

[4:29:53] >> one more part to that, did this morning.

[4:29:57] did this morning. >> yes, t he way we calculated

[4:30:01] the tentative r ate this morning, I'm reluctant to say

[4:30:04] this in p ublic, I took everything that I s aw them

[4:30:08] asking for, I say I, sher today because she h as a

[4:30:12] today because she h as a medical t hing, we took into

[4:30:16] account as best we could all

[4:30:16] of the things they were

[4:30:18] asking for and said what would we

[4:30:23] have to c harge if the answer

[4:30:26] is they're right, they get everything, so 446 will work,

[4:30:29] we'll f ind a way with o r

[4:30:30] things like w e're going to change the tipping channeled

[4:30:33] and other t hings perhaps to bring that down in august,

[4:30:36] the reason we p ointed that out,

[4:30:38] 446 is what's going to appear

[4:30:41] on the trim notice and I know

[4:30:44] we're going get p hone calls tla,'s an 8% increase but

[4:30:46] that's what t he world is doing. >> mr. Mayor?

[4:30:50] >> thank you, yes, sir? Maximum w e could charge, it

[4:30:54] maximum w e could charge, it

[4:30:58] can a lways go down, it can't notification tof maximum

[4:31:03] notification tof maximum amount can be charged if w

[4:31:05] don't figure something out. Ffrjt we don't make other

[4:31:08] changes, that number could come down, and the reason I

[4:31:12] point this out is the next

[4:31:14] meeting t trim notices come

[4:31:18] out the d ay after the next

[4:31:21] meeting, so even if w e set a

[4:31:22] lower rate as the final rate, the trim notice.

[4:31:25] the trim notice. At the city obviously, the

[4:31:29] at the city obviously, the other comment I would make

[4:31:34] before I yield is that at

[4:31:36] least I n key west, my you c annot mess up are

[4:31:39] you c annot mess up are picking

[4:31:43] up the garbage and the toilet's got to flush,

[4:31:47] there's

[4:31:48] a cost to d o that and my

[4:31:51] experience with waste management was all very good,

[4:31:56] so I just understand there I I'm willing t o consider it,

[4:31:59] I'm willing t o consider it, but k evin, good job, thank

[4:32:01] you. >> you can see the few

[4:32:03] questions we have t o answer, if you have any specific

[4:32:08] feedback on a ny of them, we're

[4:32:09] certainly willing to listen and take it under advisement

[4:32:12] but there a re some speakers I think. >> yes.

[4:32:17] >> if I might, I'm going to

[4:32:20] add o n to what commissioner

[4:32:20] scholl just said, one o f the naoez s trategic planning

[4:32:24] naoez s trategic planning sessions with kimberly, one

[4:32:25] of the questioners she a sks is

[4:32:29] what does the county do right and e very meeting I've gone

[4:32:32] to, somebodybacker someone has

[4:32:32] spaded trash, so it I s something that's extremely

[4:32:36] important to everyone t o have their trash p icked up

[4:32:40] especially living where we live.

[4:32:41] so, I'm all in favor of us work.

[4:32:46] work. I know at one point we ta

[4:32:48] about n ormalizing the rates between all three o f the

[4:32:51] entities and I know it too us

[4:32:55] a while but w e got that for

[4:32:58] the commercial, and I think

[4:33:00] the next thing we need to do that for the residential.

[4:33:05] that for the residential.

[4:33:07] I know especially I n the

[4:33:10] marathon area with marathon garbage and a ll the areas now

[4:33:15] that have so many vacation rental units, that that tr

[4:33:18] is so much more than it ever week,

[4:33:19] week, somebody's coming in and

[4:33:20] they're buying new product and

[4:33:22] they're t hrowing away wrappers

[4:33:24] and it's just a lot more residential trash t han we

[4:33:28] used to have.

[4:33:32] >> if I may, there are two the b usiness about vacation

[4:33:37] the b usiness about vacation rentals is something we h ave

[4:33:40] been addressing w ith the franchisees for a c ouple of

[4:33:43] months and as bob will tell

[4:33:45] you, we have to did that in

[4:33:46] such a way that we don't mess with the vacation rental

[4:33:48] ordinance but we think we have

[4:33:50] a way to deal with that, it that one out.

[4:33:53] that one out. Uniform r ates for residential

[4:33:56] just like we have for commercial, I t's a different

[4:33:59] question, the r eason for uniform commercial rates was

[4:34:01] that some business owners have

[4:34:03] businesses in multiple areas and therefore couldn't

[4:34:05] understand why they had different rate asks that made

[4:34:10] a lot o f sense so you had o

[4:34:12] set o f rates, residential pick-up is influence today a

[4:34:15] greater e xtent by the geography o f the thing.

[4:34:18] I did h ave a conversation with

[4:34:21] greg con wrath about the old years t hat yielded the

[4:34:25] years t hat yielded the difference and one of t he

[4:34:26] things we conclude is m aybe we

[4:34:29] need to r evisit that because changed since 2 5 years ago,

[4:34:33] changed since 2 5 years ago, figure, a nd so my first

[4:34:39] figure, a nd so my first reaction is to approach that

[4:34:44] with a little bit of caution

[4:34:46] but let's examine why I t is

[4:34:47] and if a change is made, arguments apply t o

[4:34:50] arguments apply t o residential

[4:34:51] as applies to c ommercial because the b usiness owners

[4:34:54] that have multiple businesses,

[4:34:56] residents are I n different work through that c ertainly.

[4:35:02] work through that c ertainly. >> okay. Anyone else?

[4:35:09] I don't t hink we all love

[4:35:12] exactly the w orld we live in

[4:35:14] today a s it affects things costs more to live here, it

[4:35:19] costs more to live here, it costs m ore to do business

[4:35:21] here and I guess we have t o

[4:35:23] recognize t hat. >> can I ask a question, mayor?

[4:35:25] >> you could. Er

[4:35:28] >> when it comes to marathon

[4:35:31] in the city of marathon, th the

[4:35:32] the contractor pick up the garbage.

[4:35:37] >> yes, sir. Have any influence on the

[4:35:42] have any influence on the changes we would be making?

[4:35:47] >> no, I'm not sure the ex

[4:35:48] legal mechanism for h ow we do not

[4:35:50] not normally consult with them on

[4:35:53] it, we set the rates based

[4:35:55] upon -- I et assist service we it

[4:35:58] it cost neutral to the taxpayers,

[4:36:01] they pay the same special that

[4:36:05] that everybody else does.

[4:36:08] >> I agree that I look forward

[4:36:11] to seeing your recommendations

[4:36:15] because you all have all the information t o make an

[4:36:21] informed decision and a correct o ne, so I'll wait to

[4:36:26] hear what I t is and I know w need to increase it.

[4:36:31] a certain a mount. >> okay.

[4:36:31] >> are you ready for the public speakers?

[4:36:35] >> we c ould. I t hink that we're pretty

[4:36:36] much change that w ith what they

[4:36:40] change that w ith what they say

[4:36:44] if they w ant. >> greg sullivan representing

[4:37:01] >> greg sullivan representing waste management will b e

[4:37:06] followed by greg con wrath. >> greg sullivan, waste

[4:37:12] six m onth t county requested a

[4:37:14] financial audit for f r the four franchises which w e

[4:37:17] provided which also helped solidify a lot of the numbers

[4:37:22] so there was no guessing games, and as everyone up

[4:37:25] there knows, prices are up, we

[4:37:28] don't have the luxury of raising o ur prices as a

[4:37:33] different kind of b usiness might I f it's grocery store

[4:37:35] or a c ar repair, we're your

[4:37:36] partners, we've been leer a

[4:37:38] laong time, we want to stay

[4:37:50] key, I have 80 people, so

[4:37:53] that's a pretty good chunk of

[4:37:54] dollars, and even with that, down at the lower keys, rent

[4:37:56] is not cheap, w ith the changes

[4:37:58] that's going to h appen at roy's trailer park, t here's
