1
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,000
>> I thought so.

2
00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:37,100
Ms. Tanya Mendez

3
00:00:37,100 --> 00:00:38,100
will lead us

4
00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:40,100
in the pledge.

5
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:44,100
>> I pledge allegiance to the

6
00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:45,100
Flag of the United States of

7
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:46,100
America and to the

8
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:48,100
Republic for which it stands,

9
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:50,100
one nation under God,

10
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:51,100
indivisible,

11
00:00:51,100 --> 00:00:53,100
with liberty and justice

12
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:55,100
for all.

13
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:01,100
>> First off, I'd like to say

14
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:04,100
Mr. Darren Horan, a school

15
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:08,100
board member, has a family

16
00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:09,100
emergency and will not be

17
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:12,100
in attendance at this meeting.

18
00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:17,100
>> I recommend the board adopt

19
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:19,401
the agenda as presented.

20
00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:22,100
>> Move.

21
00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:25,100
>> Second.

22
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:27,100
>> Second with a comment.

23
00:01:27,100 --> 00:01:28,100
I want to move

24
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:30,100

25
00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:34,401
item 16 to action, please.

28
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:43,401
with Amira Learning LLC.

29
00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:48,100
>> Any further discussion?

30
00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:50,401
>> You got it right?

31
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:52,100
>> Okay, the agenda is

32
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:54,100
approved.

33
00:01:56,100 --> 00:01:57,100
>> I recommend the board

34
00:01:57,100 --> 00:01:58,100
approve the minutes from the

35
00:01:58,100 --> 00:01:59,100

the minutes are approved.

42
00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:32,100
>> At this time, we have Ms.

43
00:02:32,100 --> 00:02:34,100
Kelly Keefe requesting 3

44
00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:36,100
minutes.

45
00:02:48,100 --> 00:02:49,100
>> Wait a minute.

46
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:50,100
>> Let me I'm going

47
00:02:50,100 --> 00:02:51,100
to read first

48
00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:52,100
before you start.

49
00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:53,100

for the representative

55
00:02:58,100 --> 00:02:59,100
of a designated group.

56
00:02:59,100 --> 00:03:00,100
Transfer of time between

and/or the board secretary

61
00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:05,100
prior to a board meeting will

00:03:05,100 --> 00:03:06,100
not additionally be read

63
00:03:06,100 --> 00:03:07,100
into the record. All statements

64
00:03:07,100 --> 00:03:09,100
must be directed towards the

65
00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:10,100

question board members

67
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:12,100
individually, and board members

68
00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:13,100
will not engage in a dialogue

69
00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:14,100
with persons making public

70
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:15,100
comment. Furthermore, all

71
00:03:15,100 --> 00:03:16,100
speakers agree to abide

72
00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:18,100
by the Code of Conduct of

73
00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:19,100
Citizens Input, School Board

74
00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:21,401
Policy 0169.1, and will begin

75
00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:25,100
their presentation by stating

76
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:27,100
their full name and their city

77
00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:28,100
or town of residence

78
00:03:28,100 --> 00:03:30,100
for the record.

79
00:03:32,100 --> 00:03:33,100
>> My name is Kelly Keefe and

80
00:03:33,100 --> 00:03:35,100
my town of residence is Key

81
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:37,100
Largo, Florida. I'm here

82
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:40,100
on behalf of the Coral Shores

83
00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:43,100
wrestling program. I am a proud

84
00:03:43,100 --> 00:03:46,100
mother of a actually, he was

85
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:48,100
the first regional champion in

86
00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:50,100
over a decade,

87
00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:52,100
and it's because of Coach

88
00:03:52,100 --> 00:03:53,100
Dante. I want to recognize

89
00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:54,100
Dante Giovanetta for his

90
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:56,100
excellent coaching that he's

91
00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:58,100
been providing

92
00:03:58,100 --> 00:03:59,100
to our children and our youth

93
00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:02,100
of the county. Again, my son

94
00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:04,100
took first in regions

95
00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:06,100
for the first time in

96
00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:07,100
over a decade. There are lots

97
00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:08,100
of parents who wish they could

98
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:09,100
have been here this evening

99
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:13,100
to speak on our we just want

100
00:04:13,100 --> 00:04:14,100
to spread awareness

101
00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:17,100
of the needs of the team.

102
00:04:17,100 --> 00:04:19,100
On behalf of Dane Pataboy, he

103
00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:20,100
wrote this, so I'm going

104
00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:21,100
to read this verbatim. His son

105
00:04:21,100 --> 00:04:22,100
is also a wrestler

106
00:04:22,100 --> 00:04:23,100
on our team, and he will be a

107
00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:24,100
sophomore next year. We are

108
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:26,100
requesting a dedicated

109
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:29,100
wrestling facility for Coral

110
00:04:29,100 --> 00:04:30,100
Shores High School because our

111
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:32,100
current training space no

112
00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:34,100
longer meets the needs of our

113
00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:35,100
current student athletes.

114
00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:37,100
First, this is a safety issue.

115
00:04:37,100 --> 00:04:38,100
Wrestling requires adequate mat

116
00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:39,100
space for athletes

117
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:40,100
to train safely. Our current

118
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:41,100
space is overcrowded,

119
00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:43,100
limiting our ability to safely

120
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:44,100
accommodate the athletes

121
00:04:44,100 --> 00:04:45,100
currently on the team and

122
00:04:45,100 --> 00:04:46,100
preventing future growth.

123
00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:48,100
Second, this is a student

124
00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:49,100
welfare issue. Wrestling

125
00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:51,100
requires strict hygiene

126
00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:53,100
standards. A dedicated facility

127
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:54,100
would provide would provide

128
00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:56,100
storage for equipment, lockers,

129
00:04:56,100 --> 00:04:57,100
laundry, and access

130
00:04:57,100 --> 00:05:00,100
to showers, helping maintain a

131
00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:01,100
clean and healthy environment

132
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:03,100
for our athletes.

133
00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:07,100
Third, this is an equity

134
00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:09,100
issue. Girls wrestling is one

135
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:10,100
of the fastest-growing high

136
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:11,100
school sports in America, yet

137
00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:13,100
we do not have space or

138
00:05:13,100 --> 00:05:14,100
resources to support a

139
00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:15,100
dedicated girls program. Our

140
00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:16,100
interested female athletes

141
00:05:16,100 --> 00:05:17,100
currently have no option but

142
00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:18,100
to train with the boys team,

143
00:05:18,100 --> 00:05:19,100
limiting participation and

144
00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:21,100
opportunity. Most importantly,

145
00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:23,100
this investment would support a

146
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:24,100
program that has already

147
00:05:24,100 --> 00:05:26,100
demonstrated success. Coral

148
00:05:26,100 --> 00:05:28,100
Shores wrestlers have qualified

149
00:05:28,100 --> 00:05:29,100
for the state championships,

150
00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:31,100
proving that our athletes can

151
00:05:31,100 --> 00:05:32,100
compete at the highest level

152
00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:33,100
in Florida despite limited

153
00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:35,100
resources. And facilities.

154
00:05:38,100 --> 00:05:39,100
Imagine what these students

155
00:05:39,100 --> 00:05:40,100
could accomplish with a

156
00:05:40,100 --> 00:05:41,100
training environment designed

157
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:43,100
for their sport. Wrestling is

158
00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:44,100
also widely recognized

159
00:05:44,100 --> 00:05:46,100
for developing discipline,

160
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:47,100
accountability, perseverance,

161
00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:48,100
leadership, and resilience

162
00:05:48,100 --> 00:05:50,100
qualities that translate

163
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:51,100
directly into success

164
00:05:51,100 --> 00:05:53,100
in the workforce, military,

165
00:05:53,100 --> 00:05:54,100
higher education,

166
00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:56,100
and community leadership. The

167
00:05:56,100 --> 00:05:57,100
lessons learned on the

168
00:05:57,100 --> 00:05:58,100
wrestling mat help shape

169
00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:00,100
productive citizens who

170
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:01,100
contribute positively

171
00:06:01,100 --> 00:06:03,100
to their communities long after

172
00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:04,100
their athletic careers end. A

173
00:06:04,100 --> 00:06:05,100
dedicated wrestling facility is

174
00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:07,401
not simply an investment

175
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:10,100
in a sport. It is an investment

176
00:06:10,100 --> 00:06:11,100
in student safety, equal

177
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:13,100
opportunity, character

178
00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:15,100
development,

179
00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:16,100
and the future success

180
00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:19,100
of the young people of Monroe

181
00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:20,100
County. Thank you for your time

182
00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:22,100
and consideration.

183
00:06:25,100 --> 00:06:26,100
>> Next up to speak, we have

184
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:28,100
Mr. Brian Keefe requesting 3

185
00:06:28,100 --> 00:06:30,100
minutes.

186
00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:37,100
>> Hello everybody.

187
00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:38,100
As we said, my name is

188
00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:39,100
Brian Keefe. I'm a resident

189
00:06:39,100 --> 00:06:41,100
of Key Largo and my son is a

190
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:42,100
wrestler that has been

191
00:06:42,100 --> 00:06:44,100
wrestling with Dante

192
00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:49,100
since probably he was about 12

193
00:06:51,100 --> 00:06:53,100
years old through the club

194
00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:54,100
program and has been wrestling

195
00:06:54,100 --> 00:06:57,100
through now his junior year,

196
00:06:57,100 --> 00:06:59,100
which he had a very successful

197
00:06:59,100 --> 00:07:01,100
season. But along with other

198
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:02,100
wrestlers that had a very

199
00:07:02,100 --> 00:07:04,100
successful season,

200
00:07:05,100 --> 00:07:07,100
they did it so because of

201
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:09,100
Dante and all the support of

202
00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:11,100
any previous coaches that we no

203
00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:13,100
longer have

204
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:15,100
with us who have left because

205
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:16,100
of the lack

206
00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:18,401
of facilities here, being

207
00:07:19,100 --> 00:07:22,100
Zach Sherman and his buddy

208
00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:24,401
Blay, who were NCAA

209
00:07:25,100 --> 00:07:26,100
All-Americans and great

210
00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:28,401
wrestlers. We really need

211
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:32,100
facilities

212
00:07:32,100 --> 00:07:34,100
to ensure the safety

213
00:07:34,100 --> 00:07:36,100
of our boys,

214
00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:38,100
but not only that,

215
00:07:38,100 --> 00:07:41,100
to grow our program. We have

216
00:07:41,100 --> 00:07:44,100
the ability and the strength

217
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:48,100
and good enough wrestlers

218
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:49,100
to be one

219
00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:50,100
of the top programs possibly

220
00:07:50,100 --> 00:07:52,100
in the state, but because Our

221
00:07:52,100 --> 00:07:54,100
program is so shorted and our

222
00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:55,100
space is limited. We cannot

223
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:57,401
even provide enough space

224
00:07:59,100 --> 00:08:01,100
for a full team

225
00:08:01,100 --> 00:08:03,401
to wrestle and practice

226
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:06,100
on a daily basis. Dante has

227
00:08:06,100 --> 00:08:08,100
talked

228
00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:09,100
about running two practices

229
00:08:09,100 --> 00:08:11,100
back to back just to be able

230
00:08:11,100 --> 00:08:13,401
to provide enough space

231
00:08:14,100 --> 00:08:16,100
for the guys

232
00:08:16,100 --> 00:08:19,100
to wrestle and practice safely,

233
00:08:19,100 --> 00:08:21,100
which. Is a huge commitment

234
00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:24,100
by himself. So we're just

235
00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:26,401
trying to make awareness

236
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:32,100
to you guys. We have a ton

237
00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:34,401
of parents. Obviously they're

238
00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:38,100
not all here because they're

239
00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:42,100
working, but I know other

240
00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:43,100
people have been making you

241
00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:44,100
guys aware of our situation.

242
00:08:44,100 --> 00:08:47,100
But we wanted the parents

243
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:48,100
to come out and say,

244
00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:49,100
currently we have 3 wrestlers

245
00:08:49,100 --> 00:08:50,100
that are ranked in the state,

246
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:51,100
which is a huge accomplishment

247
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:53,100
for a small school like Coral

248
00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:54,100
Shores. They could possibly

249
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:56,100
place this upcoming year. So we

250
00:08:56,100 --> 00:08:57,100
just want to look for your

251
00:08:57,100 --> 00:08:59,100
guys' support and be open

252
00:08:59,100 --> 00:09:01,100
to ideas

253
00:09:01,100 --> 00:09:03,100
to helping our situation.

254
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:04,100
>> Thank you

255
00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:06,100
for your time.

256
00:09:07,100 --> 00:09:09,100
>> Next up to speak, we have

257
00:09:09,100 --> 00:09:12,100
Mr. Jim Matter or Mateo. I'm

258
00:09:12,100 --> 00:09:14,100
sorry,

259
00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:20,100
I couldn't read the last

260
00:09:20,100 --> 00:09:21,100
Okay, Matthias.

261
00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:22,100
>> Hi, everybody. My name is

262
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:23,100
Jim Matthias. I live in

263
00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:25,100
Tavernier. I'm actually the

264
00:09:25,100 --> 00:09:27,401
assistant coach. I help

265
00:09:29,100 --> 00:09:32,100
Dante. Sorry, I'm filthy dirty.

266
00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:34,100
I just came from a job. I own

267
00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:36,100
SaberCon, so I don't know, you

268
00:09:36,100 --> 00:09:38,100
guys have probably seen my

269
00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:40,100
trucks around. Just to Touch

270
00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:41,100
on a few things. Our practice

271
00:09:41,100 --> 00:09:44,601
room is a safety issue. That's

272
00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:50,100
the first and foremost thing.

273
00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:52,100
I wrestled my entire life. I

274
00:09:52,100 --> 00:09:54,100
wrestled Division 1

275
00:09:54,100 --> 00:09:57,100
in college. I came in to help

276
00:09:57,100 --> 00:09:58,100
Dante this year. My son was the

277
00:09:58,100 --> 00:10:00,100
first sophomore to place

278
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:01,100
in the state tournament, for

279
00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:03,100
Coral Shores this year,

280
00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:06,100
as a sophomore. Sterling and

281
00:10:06,100 --> 00:10:07,100
Kelly's son won regionals,

282
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:09,100
the first kid in 10 years. We

283
00:10:09,100 --> 00:10:11,401
had 4 district champs. Right

284
00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:16,601
now we are the number, 2 team

285
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:19,100
in the state, to watch

286
00:10:19,100 --> 00:10:22,100
out for, as per Cobra, which is

287
00:10:22,100 --> 00:10:24,100
the biggest wrestling, website

288
00:10:24,100 --> 00:10:26,100
in the state. We can't do it

289
00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:27,100
with the size

290
00:10:27,100 --> 00:10:29,100
of the room we have,

291
00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:30,100
point blank.

292
00:10:30,100 --> 00:10:31,100
We're, if you guys want

293
00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:32,100
to see the room, it's right

294
00:10:32,100 --> 00:10:34,100
across the courtyard

295
00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:36,401
over here. With 20 kids

296
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:39,100
in there, it's condensed, it's

297
00:10:39,100 --> 00:10:41,401
small, it's extremely hot,

298
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:45,100
the mats are slippery. You

299
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:48,100
know, some of these kids are,

300
00:10:48,100 --> 00:10:50,100
you know, could get hurt

301
00:10:50,100 --> 00:10:51,100
at any time. So what we've had

302
00:10:51,100 --> 00:10:53,100
to do is we have to split the

303
00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:56,601
room basically where we have a

304
00:10:57,100 --> 00:10:58,100
2.5-hour practice, but these

305
00:10:58,100 --> 00:10:59,100
kids are really only getting

306
00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:01,100
like an hour and 20 minutes

307
00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:02,100
of work tops. Because the room

308
00:11:02,100 --> 00:11:04,100
is split in 2, which, you know,

309
00:11:04,100 --> 00:11:05,100
which is a major issue. Just

310
00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:07,100
to touch on Bryant's point,

311
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:08,100
Zach Sherman was a 2-time

312
00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:10,100
All-American at University of

313
00:11:10,100 --> 00:11:12,100
North Carolina. He was here.

314
00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:14,100
He was coaching our kids. He

315
00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:15,100
left, you know, because we

316
00:11:15,100 --> 00:11:17,100
couldn't get a facility built,

317
00:11:17,100 --> 00:11:18,100
and now he has a massive

318
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:20,100
facility in Immokalee,

319
00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:22,100
Florida, where, you know, he's

320
00:11:22,100 --> 00:11:23,100
training, you know, 120 kids.

321
00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:25,100
And, and this is the type of

322
00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:27,100
caliber guys that we're losing

323
00:11:27,100 --> 00:11:29,100
because of this.

324
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:35,100
Dante is a charter boat

325
00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:37,100
captain. You know, he's

326
00:11:37,100 --> 00:11:40,100
extremely busy. I have a

327
00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:42,100
company that I run. I'm

328
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:43,100
extremely busy. Our number one

329
00:11:43,100 --> 00:11:44,100
thing is the kids. Like, it

330
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:45,100
really is at the end

331
00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:46,100
of the day. I've personally

332
00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:47,100
over the last 2 years probably

333
00:11:47,100 --> 00:11:48,100
spent about $7,000

334
00:11:48,100 --> 00:11:49,100
of my own money on equipment,

335
00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:50,100
on uniforms, which is something

336
00:11:50,100 --> 00:11:52,100
I still never understand.

337
00:11:52,100 --> 00:11:53,100
Like, I don't understand.

338
00:11:53,100 --> 00:11:54,100
In a town

339
00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:56,100
of you know millionaires,

340
00:11:56,100 --> 00:11:58,100
how there's no money

341
00:11:58,100 --> 00:12:01,100
for sports? I don't get it.

342
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:02,100
But I mean,

343
00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:05,100
I know everybody has to

344
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:06,100
fundraise and do everything

345
00:12:06,100 --> 00:12:07,100
else. But you know, it's

346
00:12:07,100 --> 00:12:09,100
something I don't understand.

347
00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:11,100
If you compare our facilities

348
00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:14,601
to Key West, we're we're not

349
00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:16,100
even in the

350
00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:17,100
in the same area code.

351
00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:19,100
Like it's it's bizarre

352
00:12:19,100 --> 00:12:20,100
to me the amount

353
00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:21,100
of money that's poured in

354
00:12:21,100 --> 00:12:23,100
down there. Their wrestling

355
00:12:23,100 --> 00:12:25,100
facility they have

356
00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:26,100
locker rooms,

357
00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:28,100
they have a weight room, they

358
00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:30,100
have a massive you know

359
00:12:30,100 --> 00:12:31,100
freestanding facility with

360
00:12:31,100 --> 00:12:33,100
with mats wall to wall. And I

361
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:34,100
love Chaz, and we love those

362
00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:35,100
guys. We actually go

363
00:12:35,100 --> 00:12:37,100
down and train with them. My

364
00:12:37,100 --> 00:12:38,100
son just actually wrestled

365
00:12:38,100 --> 00:12:39,100
for them

366
00:12:39,100 --> 00:12:41,100
on an all-star team up in up

367
00:12:41,100 --> 00:12:44,601
in Miami. But the other the

368
00:12:45,100 --> 00:12:46,100
other issue too was girls

369
00:12:46,100 --> 00:12:48,100
wrestling. Girls wrestling is

370
00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:49,100
the fastest growing sport in

371
00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:50,100
in the country. It's massive.

372
00:12:50,100 --> 00:12:52,100
We have girls that are

373
00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:53,100
interested in our team to come

374
00:12:53,100 --> 00:12:55,100
out for our team. And when you

375
00:12:55,100 --> 00:12:57,100
put them in a room with, you

376
00:12:57,100 --> 00:12:59,100
know, 20, 20, 20 boys, you

377
00:13:00,100 --> 00:13:03,100
know, it's, it's, you know,

378
00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:06,100
it's a little intimidating. So

379
00:13:06,100 --> 00:13:08,100
I don't know if that means my

380
00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:09,100
time's up or but yeah,

381
00:13:09,100 --> 00:13:10,100
so that's really all I got

382
00:13:10,100 --> 00:13:11,100
to say. So just trying

383
00:13:11,100 --> 00:13:13,100
to bring awareness

384
00:13:13,100 --> 00:13:14,100
to the sport and, you know,

385
00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:16,100
what's going on. Appreciate it.

386
00:13:16,100 --> 00:13:17,100
>> Next up to speak, we have

387
00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:19,100
Mr. Richard Russell requesting

388
00:13:19,100 --> 00:13:21,100
three minutes.

389
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:31,100
>> I'm Richard Russell,

390
00:13:31,100 --> 00:13:33,100
unemployed resident of Isle

391
00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:36,601
Morada, Florida. I first of all

392
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:40,100
certainly didn't plan to,

393
00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:41,100
but I want

394
00:13:41,100 --> 00:13:43,100
to echo the sentiments

395
00:13:43,100 --> 00:13:44,100
of our wrestling parents. We

396
00:13:44,100 --> 00:13:46,401
have a very legitimate

397
00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:49,100
concern here, and it obviously

398
00:13:49,100 --> 00:13:51,401
involves safety and liability.

399
00:13:52,100 --> 00:13:55,100
We have a first-class program.

400
00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:56,100
I know the bigger vision is

401
00:13:56,100 --> 00:13:58,100
that we will have a great

402
00:13:58,100 --> 00:14:01,100
provision when we do the

403
00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:03,100
renovations and restorations,

404
00:14:03,100 --> 00:14:04,100
but we need a bridge somewhere

405
00:14:04,100 --> 00:14:06,100
in between. I have a couple

406
00:14:06,100 --> 00:14:08,100
ideas, and I'll throw those

407
00:14:08,100 --> 00:14:10,100
out later on at some point.

408
00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:11,100
The reason I came here is just

409
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:13,100
express my appreciation. Thank

410
00:14:13,100 --> 00:14:14,100
you. To the school board,

411
00:14:14,100 --> 00:14:15,100
the entire school board,

412
00:14:15,100 --> 00:14:17,100
for seeing our baseball field

413
00:14:17,100 --> 00:14:18,100
through fruition. Hopefully

414
00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:20,100
that will be done tonight. I

415
00:14:20,100 --> 00:14:22,100
salute Superintendent Tierney

416
00:14:24,100 --> 00:14:27,100
and also Village Manager Ron

417
00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:29,100
Saunders

418
00:14:29,100 --> 00:14:31,100
for their proactive move in

419
00:14:31,100 --> 00:14:32,100
getting together and

420
00:14:32,100 --> 00:14:33,100
representing their respective

421
00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:35,100
entities. and pushing this

422
00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:38,601
thing across the finish line. I

423
00:14:39,100 --> 00:14:41,100
think that was sort

424
00:14:41,100 --> 00:14:42,100
of a critical step,

425
00:14:42,100 --> 00:14:43,100
and I thank you

426
00:14:43,100 --> 00:14:44,100
for being aggressive

427
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:46,100
in doing that. Also grateful

428
00:14:46,100 --> 00:14:48,100
to our village and Mayor Don

429
00:14:48,100 --> 00:14:50,100
Horton and our Vice Mayor

430
00:14:50,100 --> 00:14:52,401
over here, Sharon Mahoney,

431
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:55,100
for their spirit of

432
00:14:55,100 --> 00:14:57,100
cooperation. I think everybody

433
00:14:57,100 --> 00:14:58,100
came together here eventually

434
00:14:58,100 --> 00:15:00,100
because, of basically the

435
00:15:00,100 --> 00:15:02,100
overwhelming need, the greater

436
00:15:02,100 --> 00:15:03,100
need, the greater concern That

437
00:15:03,100 --> 00:15:05,100
being of our children, I think

438
00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:06,100
ultimately there'll be an

439
00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:07,100
enhancement for both Coral

440
00:15:07,100 --> 00:15:09,100
Shores provisions but also

441
00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:10,100
for village provisions,

442
00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:12,100
and they'll be enduring. They

443
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:14,100
can they can weather storms.

444
00:15:14,100 --> 00:15:15,100
They can they can last

445
00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:17,100
for years instead of months.

446
00:15:17,100 --> 00:15:18,100
I'd be remiss too if I didn't

447
00:15:18,100 --> 00:15:19,100
say a special thank you

448
00:15:19,100 --> 00:15:22,100
to board member Conn. Mindy,

449
00:15:29,100 --> 00:15:31,401
thank you so much

450
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:36,100
for calling. last week, that,

451
00:15:37,100 --> 00:15:38,100
that I was so honored and

452
00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:40,100
grateful for the you reaching

453
00:15:40,100 --> 00:15:42,100
out and soliciting, you know,

454
00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:43,100
my opinion,

455
00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:45,100
but as it was representative,

456
00:15:45,100 --> 00:15:46,100
I think,

457
00:15:46,100 --> 00:15:47,100
of our school as a whole, our

458
00:15:47,100 --> 00:15:48,100
administration, our staff,

459
00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:49,100
and I think our community

460
00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:50,100
in general. I think and I,

461
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:51,100
I applaud you

462
00:15:51,100 --> 00:15:52,100
for looking full spectrum,

463
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:53,100
trying

464
00:15:53,100 --> 00:15:54,100
to weigh every possibility.

465
00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:56,401
That's you know, that's

466
00:15:57,100 --> 00:15:59,100
certainly commendable.

467
00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:02,100
But I also thank you for

468
00:16:02,100 --> 00:16:04,100
your willingness and openness

469
00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:06,100
to, to listen to what I felt

470
00:16:06,100 --> 00:16:07,100
to be the finger on the pulse

471
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:08,100
of our needs and concerns up

472
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:10,100
here at Coral Shores and the

473
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:12,100
Upper Keys. So I thank you all,

474
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:13,100
and I look forward

475
00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:14,100
to hopefully the completion of

476
00:16:14,100 --> 00:16:15,100
a baseball facility that

477
00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:16,100
includes some dugouts and

478
00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:17,100
bullpens and,

479
00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:18,100
and moving forward. Thank you,

480
00:16:18,100 --> 00:16:20,100
guys.

481
00:16:23,100 --> 00:16:24,100
>> Next up to speak, we have

482
00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:26,100
Mr. Tony Hammond requesting 3

483
00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:28,100
minutes.

484
00:16:36,100 --> 00:16:37,100
>> Well, thank you everyone.

485
00:16:37,100 --> 00:16:38,100
>> I'm delighted

486
00:16:38,100 --> 00:16:39,100
to be here.

487
00:16:39,100 --> 00:16:40,100
And for those who don't know

488
00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:41,100
me, I'm Tony Hammond and I've

489
00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:43,100
been a lifetime resident here.

490
00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:44,100
Also, I joined Coach Russell in

491
00:16:44,100 --> 00:16:46,100
the unemployment ranks as a no,

492
00:16:46,100 --> 00:16:49,100
I'm teasing. But I was a 2-time

493
00:16:49,100 --> 00:16:50,100
head baseball coach at Coral

494
00:16:50,100 --> 00:16:52,100
Shores and now assistant

495
00:16:52,100 --> 00:16:53,100
baseball coach at Coral

496
00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:54,100
Shores. Nothing new to add

497
00:16:54,100 --> 00:16:57,100
to this other than the clock is

498
00:16:57,100 --> 00:16:58,100
ticking pretty quickly. We need

499
00:16:58,100 --> 00:17:01,100
to get this done. We need to

500
00:17:01,100 --> 00:17:03,100
get it done tonight so we can

501
00:17:03,100 --> 00:17:04,100
be able to play. We have our

502
00:17:04,100 --> 00:17:06,401
first conditioning, I believe,

503
00:17:07,100 --> 00:17:08,100
is January 9th

504
00:17:08,100 --> 00:17:09,100
for arm conditioning.

505
00:17:09,100 --> 00:17:12,100
Obviously, the first games will

506
00:17:12,100 --> 00:17:14,100
be in that first week in

507
00:17:14,100 --> 00:17:15,100
February. So we need

508
00:17:15,100 --> 00:17:16,100
to get moving on this,

509
00:17:16,100 --> 00:17:17,100
and thank you

510
00:17:17,100 --> 00:17:18,100
for your attention to it,

511
00:17:18,100 --> 00:17:20,100
and I look forward

512
00:17:20,100 --> 00:17:22,100
to a good outcome tonight.

513
00:17:22,100 --> 00:17:24,100
Thanks.

514
00:17:30,100 --> 00:17:33,601
>> Next up to speak, we have

515
00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:35,100
Ms. Anna Richards requesting 3

516
00:17:35,100 --> 00:17:37,100
minutes.

517
00:17:49,100 --> 00:17:50,100
>> Anna Richards. I'm still

518
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:52,100
employed.

519
00:17:55,100 --> 00:17:57,401
Mother of baseball players

520
00:17:58,100 --> 00:17:59,100
and spent many times

521
00:17:59,100 --> 00:18:01,100
at this field. And I'm just

522
00:18:01,100 --> 00:18:02,100
going to reiterate what

523
00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:03,100
everybody else is saying is

524
00:18:03,100 --> 00:18:04,100
please finish this up. We've

525
00:18:04,100 --> 00:18:06,100
been working on this for over a

526
00:18:06,100 --> 00:18:07,100
year and it's really become

527
00:18:07,100 --> 00:18:09,100
quite tiresome actually. But I

528
00:18:09,100 --> 00:18:10,100
hope that you guys will

529
00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:11,100
finalize what's going on,

530
00:18:11,100 --> 00:18:13,100
make it agreeable

531
00:18:13,100 --> 00:18:15,100
to everybody.

532
00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:19,100
And I'll say the same thing

533
00:18:19,100 --> 00:18:21,100
I said last time I was here.

534
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:22,100
It's not fair. These guys are

535
00:18:22,100 --> 00:18:24,100
saying the exact same thing.

536
00:18:24,100 --> 00:18:25,100
The amount

537
00:18:25,100 --> 00:18:26,100
of tax dollars that the Upper

538
00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:28,100
Keys people put

539
00:18:28,100 --> 00:18:30,100
into the school system is, you

540
00:18:30,100 --> 00:18:31,100
know, just like the Key West

541
00:18:31,100 --> 00:18:32,100
people do.

542
00:18:32,100 --> 00:18:33,100
And they should

543
00:18:33,100 --> 00:18:34,100
these kids up here should

544
00:18:34,100 --> 00:18:35,100
get the same facilities and

545
00:18:35,100 --> 00:18:37,100
same treatment that goes

546
00:18:37,100 --> 00:18:39,100
into all the Key West

547
00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:40,100
facilities. So I hope that you

548
00:18:40,100 --> 00:18:41,100
guys really, really think

549
00:18:41,100 --> 00:18:42,100
about that.

550
00:18:42,100 --> 00:18:43,100
And do what's right

551
00:18:43,100 --> 00:18:44,100
for the kids up here as well.

552
00:18:44,100 --> 00:18:46,100
That's it.

553
00:18:49,100 --> 00:18:50,100
>> Mr. Dick, that

554
00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:52,100
concludes citizens' input.

555
00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:03,100
>> It's up to you. You have any

556
00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:05,100
gems this time?

557
00:19:08,100 --> 00:19:10,100
>> No, sir.

558
00:19:14,100 --> 00:19:15,100
>> All items listed as consent

559
00:19:15,100 --> 00:19:17,100
agenda items are considered

560
00:19:17,100 --> 00:19:18,100
routine and non-controversial

561
00:19:18,100 --> 00:19:19,100
by the school board and will be

562
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:20,100
approved by a single motion.

563
00:19:20,100 --> 00:19:21,100
There will be no separate

564
00:19:21,100 --> 00:19:22,100
discussion of these items.

565
00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:23,100
Prior to this meeting, board

566
00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:25,100
members have had the

567
00:19:25,100 --> 00:19:26,100
opportunity to review each

568
00:19:26,100 --> 00:19:27,100
of these items and may request

569
00:19:27,100 --> 00:19:28,100
that any item be moved

570
00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:29,100
to action item

571
00:19:29,100 --> 00:19:31,100
for individual consideration.

572
00:19:31,100 --> 00:19:33,100
That being said, I recommend

573
00:19:33,100 --> 00:19:34,100
the board approve the consent

574
00:19:34,100 --> 00:19:36,100
agenda as amended.

575
00:19:37,100 --> 00:19:39,100
>> So moved.

576
00:19:40,100 --> 00:19:42,100
>> Second.

577
00:19:42,100 --> 00:19:44,100
>> Any discussion? Hearing

578
00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:46,100
none,

579
00:19:46,100 --> 00:19:48,401
consent agenda is approved.

580
00:19:53,100 --> 00:19:54,100
>> We have 2 reports this

581
00:19:54,100 --> 00:19:56,100
evening. The first,

582
00:19:56,100 --> 00:19:57,100
we're going to talk about some

583
00:19:57,100 --> 00:19:58,100
of the work that the team some

584
00:19:58,100 --> 00:19:59,100
of the very high-quality work

585
00:19:59,100 --> 00:20:00,100
the team has been doing

586
00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:01,100
around kindergarten kickoff.

587
00:20:01,100 --> 00:20:02,100
The first iteration,

588
00:20:02,100 --> 00:20:03,100
the first report we had talked

589
00:20:03,100 --> 00:20:04,100
about the things we're doing

590
00:20:04,100 --> 00:20:05,100
to get students enrolled in

591
00:20:05,100 --> 00:20:07,100
This will be the ongoing

592
00:20:07,100 --> 00:20:09,100
conversation and coaching we're

593
00:20:09,100 --> 00:20:11,100
having

594
00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:12,100
with the 4th graders turning

595
00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:14,100
into or 4-year-olds turning

596
00:20:14,100 --> 00:20:16,100
into kindergartners in

597
00:20:17,100 --> 00:20:19,100
August. So we'll introduce

598
00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:21,100
Ms. Christina McPherson.

599
00:20:30,100 --> 00:20:31,100
>> Good evening, School Board

600
00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:32,100
Chairman John Dick, school

601
00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:33,100
board members, and

602
00:20:33,100 --> 00:20:35,100
Superintendent Tierney.

603
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:36,100
Tonight we continue to

604
00:20:36,100 --> 00:20:37,100
highlight the outstanding work

605
00:20:37,100 --> 00:20:39,401
of our kindergarten kickoff

606
00:20:41,100 --> 00:20:42,100
events by sharing the wonderful

607
00:20:42,100 --> 00:20:43,100
videos and summer lessons

608
00:20:43,100 --> 00:20:44,100
for families that our Head

609
00:20:44,100 --> 00:20:46,100
Start and VPK teams have

610
00:20:46,100 --> 00:20:47,100
created this summer. I would

611
00:20:47,100 --> 00:20:49,100
like to personally recognize

612
00:20:49,100 --> 00:20:51,100
Ms. Jennifer Walker and Tanya

613
00:20:51,100 --> 00:20:52,100
Mendez, who is here tonight,

614
00:20:52,100 --> 00:20:53,100
For the vision and creativity

615
00:20:53,100 --> 00:20:55,100
that you will see this evening.

616
00:20:55,100 --> 00:20:58,100
The hours of hard work and

617
00:20:58,100 --> 00:21:00,100
dedication are evident even

618
00:21:00,100 --> 00:21:01,100
outside of the workday

619
00:21:01,100 --> 00:21:02,100
to make learning fun

620
00:21:02,100 --> 00:21:04,100
for our families. All the

621
00:21:04,100 --> 00:21:05,100
summer learning videos are

622
00:21:05,100 --> 00:21:07,100
published in English,

623
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:09,100
Spanish, and Creole, and I

624
00:21:09,100 --> 00:21:10,100
think Ms. Mendez can teach

625
00:21:10,100 --> 00:21:12,401
Creole now. She's definitely

626
00:21:16,100 --> 00:21:18,100
worked hard.

627
00:21:20,100 --> 00:21:22,100
Maria?

628
00:21:23,100 --> 00:21:26,100
Go back one. As registration

629
00:21:31,100 --> 00:21:33,100
continues, schools provide

630
00:21:33,100 --> 00:21:34,100
every new family and student

631
00:21:34,100 --> 00:21:36,100
with a game board which

632
00:21:36,100 --> 00:21:37,100
highlights literacy and math

633
00:21:37,100 --> 00:21:40,100
skills with safety tips that

634
00:21:40,100 --> 00:21:41,100
will continue to increase our

635
00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:42,100
kindergarten readiness rates

636
00:21:42,100 --> 00:21:46,100
in the fall. We have even had

637
00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:47,100
grandparents and parents call

638
00:21:47,100 --> 00:21:50,100
in the community and ask where

639
00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:52,100
they can purchase one.

640
00:21:52,100 --> 00:21:53,100
>> Did they want

641
00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:55,100
to speak?

642
00:21:55,100 --> 00:21:56,100
>> As you can see, the lessons

643
00:21:56,100 --> 00:21:58,100
that have already been launched

644
00:21:58,100 --> 00:21:59,100
this summer my personal one is

645
00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:01,100
Name Writing Made Easy. It's

646
00:22:01,100 --> 00:22:02,100
messy but a lot of fun. They do

647
00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:03,100
it with shaving cream. It's a

648
00:22:03,100 --> 00:22:04,100
great learning tool. The summer

649
00:22:04,100 --> 00:22:06,100
videos include staff

650
00:22:06,100 --> 00:22:08,100
beyond the classroom,

651
00:22:08,100 --> 00:22:09,100
including our SROs, teachers,

652
00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:12,100
and our very own maintenance

653
00:22:14,100 --> 00:22:17,100
staff. Everyone in our Monroe

654
00:22:17,100 --> 00:22:19,401
County School District family

655
00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:21,100
has been engaged and building

656
00:22:21,100 --> 00:22:23,100
these personal videos

657
00:22:23,100 --> 00:22:25,100
for our families. And we'll

658
00:22:25,100 --> 00:22:27,100
continue to do this throughout

659
00:22:27,100 --> 00:22:31,100
the summer, as you can see. We

660
00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:33,100
currently have 411 students,

661
00:22:33,100 --> 00:22:35,100
kindergartners enrolled. Today

662
00:22:35,100 --> 00:22:37,100
makes 420. So that's great

663
00:22:37,100 --> 00:22:39,100
news. And we are saving a seat

664
00:22:39,100 --> 00:22:41,100
for you, class of 2039.

665
00:22:41,100 --> 00:22:43,401
That's Key Largo School

666
00:22:44,100 --> 00:22:47,100
pictured. Parents may view the

667
00:22:49,100 --> 00:22:50,100
lessons through Facebook,

668
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:52,401
Monroe County School District

669
00:22:54,100 --> 00:22:55,100
websites, our school websites,

670
00:22:55,100 --> 00:22:56,100
and currently in the short 2

671
00:22:56,100 --> 00:22:57,100
to 3 weeks that have been out,

672
00:22:57,100 --> 00:22:58,100
we've had over 2,000 views

673
00:22:58,100 --> 00:23:01,100
of the videos. At this time,

674
00:23:01,100 --> 00:23:03,100
I would like to preview and

675
00:23:03,100 --> 00:23:05,100
highlight a short collection

676
00:23:05,100 --> 00:23:08,601
of the videos. He's got it

677
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,100
downloaded for you.

678
00:23:16,100 --> 00:23:19,601
>> There we go. There you go.

679
00:23:30,100 --> 00:23:32,100
>> [VIDEO PLAYING]

680
00:25:38,100 --> 00:25:41,100
>> Do you have any questions?

681
00:25:44,100 --> 00:25:46,100
>> Work.

682
00:25:46,100 --> 00:25:49,100
>> Thank you. Thank you, Ms.

683
00:25:49,100 --> 00:25:50,100
Walker and Ms. Mendez. They've

684
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:52,401
done a fabulous job.

685
00:25:53,100 --> 00:25:54,100
>> I think Ms. Walker is doing

686
00:25:54,100 --> 00:25:56,100
a fabulous job running

687
00:25:56,100 --> 00:25:59,100
around the world. All right.

688
00:26:00,100 --> 00:26:03,100
At this time, my understanding

689
00:26:03,100 --> 00:26:04,100
is that a couple

690
00:26:04,100 --> 00:26:05,100
of people wanted to get in

691
00:26:05,100 --> 00:26:08,100
to do public comment. So we're

692
00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:09,100
going to go back and open up

693
00:26:09,100 --> 00:26:11,100
the public comment. I was

694
00:26:11,100 --> 00:26:13,100
concerned because, Ed, I

695
00:26:13,100 --> 00:26:14,100
thought maybe you had locked

696
00:26:14,100 --> 00:26:16,100
your when I saw that you were

697
00:26:16,100 --> 00:26:17,100
here and didn't go up

698
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:20,100
to speak. So we all need the

699
00:26:20,100 --> 00:26:21,100
pleasure

700
00:26:21,100 --> 00:26:23,100
of hearing you speak today. So

701
00:26:23,100 --> 00:26:26,100
please, Ed. And somebody else,

702
00:26:28,100 --> 00:26:30,401
right? There's 2 people. My

703
00:26:31,100 --> 00:26:32,100
understanding is there's

704
00:26:32,100 --> 00:26:34,100
another good person.

705
00:26:48,100 --> 00:26:50,100
>> I sent you all 7 pages worth

706
00:26:50,100 --> 00:26:52,401
of illuminating reading, which

707
00:26:53,100 --> 00:26:55,100
I presume you guys can read

708
00:26:55,100 --> 00:26:56,100
on your own. I'm just going

709
00:26:56,100 --> 00:26:58,100
to go over a couple

710
00:26:58,100 --> 00:26:59,100
of lowlights not highlights,

711
00:26:59,100 --> 00:27:01,100
lowlights. Emails have recently

712
00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:02,100
surfaced documenting that the

713
00:27:02,100 --> 00:27:04,100
village manager Ron Saunders

714
00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:06,100
has partnered

715
00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:08,100
with the village councilor

716
00:27:08,100 --> 00:27:10,100
Don Horton to cut an

717
00:27:10,100 --> 00:27:12,100
out of the sunshine deal with

718
00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:14,100
the school board that

719
00:27:14,100 --> 00:27:15,100
dramatically contradicts and

720
00:27:15,100 --> 00:27:17,100
extensively overrules the

721
00:27:17,100 --> 00:27:19,100
official baseball field license

722
00:27:19,100 --> 00:27:21,100
wording adopted twice, 5-0 and

723
00:27:21,100 --> 00:27:23,401
4-0, after energetic Islamorada

724
00:27:24,100 --> 00:27:26,100
Council debate and extensive

725
00:27:26,100 --> 00:27:27,100
public input summarized

726
00:27:27,100 --> 00:27:29,100
by multiple lengthy meetings

727
00:27:29,100 --> 00:27:31,100
in an official Islamorada

728
00:27:31,100 --> 00:27:33,100
Citizen Advisory Committee,

729
00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:38,100
which you'll hear from soon.

730
00:27:38,100 --> 00:27:40,100
In his 27 April 26th speech

731
00:27:40,100 --> 00:27:41,100
to the Annamarie Parks and

732
00:27:41,100 --> 00:27:43,100
Recreation Committee, Village

733
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:44,100
Manager Saunders revealed he

734
00:27:44,100 --> 00:27:45,100
had been privately carrying

735
00:27:45,100 --> 00:27:46,100
issue conversations

736
00:27:46,100 --> 00:27:48,100
between school board members,

737
00:27:48,100 --> 00:27:49,100
conversations and possible vote

738
00:27:49,100 --> 00:27:51,100
polling, which the Sunshine

739
00:27:51,100 --> 00:27:54,100
Law would seem to prohibit.

740
00:27:57,100 --> 00:27:58,100
Yet the Horton Saunders not

741
00:27:58,100 --> 00:28:00,100
publicly agenda, not majority

742
00:28:00,100 --> 00:28:01,100
vote authorized amendments.

743
00:28:01,100 --> 00:28:03,100
The thing that you're looking

744
00:28:03,100 --> 00:28:05,100
at today hasn't been publicly

745
00:28:05,100 --> 00:28:07,401
debated or voted in

746
00:28:08,100 --> 00:28:10,100
Islamorada. Perhaps school

747
00:28:11,100 --> 00:28:13,401
officials and lawyers have

748
00:28:16,100 --> 00:28:18,100
misunderstood the significant

749
00:28:20,100 --> 00:28:22,100
difference between the

750
00:28:23,100 --> 00:28:26,100
Islamorada mayor and the Key

751
00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:28,100
West mayor. The Islamorada is a

752
00:28:28,100 --> 00:28:30,000
purely ceremonial position,

753
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,100
which rotates once a year

754
00:28:32,100 --> 00:28:33,100
on an internal vote,

755
00:28:33,100 --> 00:28:34,100
whereas the Key West mayor is a

756
00:28:34,100 --> 00:28:36,100
real office elected

757
00:28:37,100 --> 00:28:39,100
by an independent election,

758
00:28:39,100 --> 00:28:41,100
as I recall, and has some real

759
00:28:41,100 --> 00:28:43,100
longevity and some real

760
00:28:43,100 --> 00:28:45,100
authorities. Thus, the

761
00:28:47,100 --> 00:28:48,100
Islamorada attorney works only

762
00:28:48,100 --> 00:28:50,100
for the majority of the

763
00:28:50,100 --> 00:28:52,100
Village Council, not

764
00:28:53,100 --> 00:28:54,100
for the ceremonial mayor,

765
00:28:54,100 --> 00:28:55,100
who had no legitimate authority

766
00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:57,401
to unilaterally order the

767
00:28:58,100 --> 00:28:59,100
attorney and the village

768
00:28:59,100 --> 00:29:00,100
manager to officially proffer

769
00:29:00,100 --> 00:29:02,100
any written amendment

770
00:29:05,100 --> 00:29:07,100
to the superintendent. Not your

771
00:29:07,100 --> 00:29:09,100
fault, it's their fault. Yet

772
00:29:09,100 --> 00:29:12,100
at the recent 12 May Island

773
00:29:13,100 --> 00:29:14,100
Marauder Council meeting you

774
00:29:14,100 --> 00:29:15,100
guys didn't get

775
00:29:15,100 --> 00:29:16,100
to attend all these some such

776
00:29:16,100 --> 00:29:17,100
Sunshine contradictions were

777
00:29:17,100 --> 00:29:18,100
repeatedly described, with

778
00:29:18,100 --> 00:29:19,100
village officials adamantly

779
00:29:19,100 --> 00:29:20,100
claiming listen to this, Mr.

780
00:29:20,100 --> 00:29:21,100
Lawyer that they could

781
00:29:21,100 --> 00:29:22,100
legitimately interact

782
00:29:22,100 --> 00:29:23,100
with school officials outside

783
00:29:23,100 --> 00:29:25,100
of public venues as though they

784
00:29:25,100 --> 00:29:27,100
themselves were private

785
00:29:27,100 --> 00:29:30,100
citizens, when it would seem in

786
00:29:30,100 --> 00:29:31,100
fact that once elected or

787
00:29:31,100 --> 00:29:32,100
appointed to public office,

788
00:29:32,100 --> 00:29:34,100
they remain, like you all do,

789
00:29:34,100 --> 00:29:35,100
public officials bound by the

790
00:29:35,100 --> 00:29:37,100
Sunshine Law 24/7, 365, whether

791
00:29:41,100 --> 00:29:43,100
it's convenient or not. The

792
00:29:43,100 --> 00:29:44,100
12 May Alum Rada Council

793
00:29:44,100 --> 00:29:46,100
meeting comment,

794
00:29:47,100 --> 00:29:49,100
public comment starts at 23 I'm

795
00:29:49,100 --> 00:29:51,100
sorry, at . And at , leading

796
00:29:51,100 --> 00:29:53,401
citizen ball field advisory

797
00:29:54,100 --> 00:29:56,401
committee member Jamie Engel

798
00:29:57,100 --> 00:29:58,100
asked publicly why the mayor

799
00:29:58,100 --> 00:29:59,100
and the village manager had

800
00:29:59,100 --> 00:30:01,100
ordered the drafting

801
00:30:03,100 --> 00:30:04,100
of that major written amendment

802
00:30:04,100 --> 00:30:06,100
to the ball field license

803
00:30:06,100 --> 00:30:08,100
wording already passed that

804
00:30:08,100 --> 00:30:10,100
conflicted with the 5040

805
00:30:10,100 --> 00:30:12,100
Wording of record. It's the

806
00:30:12,100 --> 00:30:14,100
only wording of record. At ,

807
00:30:14,100 --> 00:30:16,401
Councilmember Don Horton states

808
00:30:17,100 --> 00:30:20,100
that he lobbies school board

809
00:30:23,100 --> 00:30:24,100
members as a private

810
00:30:24,100 --> 00:30:26,401
individual. No, he doesn't.

811
00:30:29,100 --> 00:30:30,100
Despite his prior official

812
00:30:30,100 --> 00:30:31,100
permit wording, he voted

813
00:30:31,100 --> 00:30:33,100
for twice. During the 4 years I

814
00:30:33,100 --> 00:30:35,100
was myself elected, Keys

815
00:30:35,100 --> 00:30:37,100
White, to this school board, I

816
00:30:37,100 --> 00:30:39,100
had many professional briefings

817
00:30:39,100 --> 00:30:40,100
on the applicable restrictions

818
00:30:40,100 --> 00:30:41,100
of the Florida Government and

819
00:30:41,100 --> 00:30:43,100
the Sunshine Law

820
00:30:43,100 --> 00:30:45,100
by that lawyer. But

821
00:30:45,100 --> 00:30:48,601
for those readers who have not,

822
00:30:50,100 --> 00:30:52,100
here's a few possible relevant

823
00:30:52,100 --> 00:30:53,100
quotes from the Florida

824
00:30:53,100 --> 00:30:55,100
Attorney General's 2025 manual,

825
00:30:55,100 --> 00:30:56,100
which I'd be glad

826
00:30:56,100 --> 00:30:58,100
to loan you.

827
00:31:10,100 --> 00:31:11,100
>> Here's the best one.

828
00:31:11,100 --> 00:31:13,100
Sunshine law is of both

829
00:31:13,100 --> 00:31:15,100
constitutional and statutory

830
00:31:20,100 --> 00:31:21,100
dimensions. Florida Supreme

831
00:31:21,100 --> 00:31:22,100
Court, Town of Palm Beach v.

832
00:31:22,100 --> 00:31:23,100
Gradison. Write down

833
00:31:23,100 --> 00:31:25,100
Gradison. The Sunshine Law is

834
00:31:25,100 --> 00:31:26,100
to be construed so as to

835
00:31:26,100 --> 00:31:27,100
frustrate all evasive devices.

836
00:31:27,100 --> 00:31:28,100
That's pretty clear. Paris v.

837
00:31:28,100 --> 00:31:31,100
State is a warning about

838
00:31:31,100 --> 00:31:33,100
conducting private meetings

839
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:35,100
through the use

840
00:31:35,100 --> 00:31:37,401
of surrogates. This situation

841
00:31:40,100 --> 00:31:41,100
may be barely lawful, but it's

842
00:31:41,100 --> 00:31:43,100
certainly ethically awful and

843
00:31:43,100 --> 00:31:46,100
needs a strong dose of

844
00:31:47,100 --> 00:31:48,100
sunshine-saturated attitude

845
00:31:48,100 --> 00:31:50,100
adjustment,

846
00:31:50,100 --> 00:31:51,100
and I will personally buy

847
00:31:51,100 --> 00:31:53,100
Captain LeFere a new set of

848
00:31:53,100 --> 00:31:55,100
Ray-Bans to mute the glare of

849
00:31:55,100 --> 00:31:57,401
such long overdue sunshine.

850
00:32:14,100 --> 00:32:16,100
>> Next up to speak, we have

851
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:18,100
Miss Jamie Engel requesting 3

852
00:32:18,100 --> 00:32:20,100
minutes.

853
00:32:32,100 --> 00:32:33,100
>> Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

854
00:32:33,100 --> 00:32:35,401
Good evening. Jamie Engel,

855
00:32:37,100 --> 00:32:39,401
Islamorada. I understand that

856
00:32:41,100 --> 00:32:43,100
the school board district

857
00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:44,100
sorry, the school district

858
00:32:44,100 --> 00:32:46,100
attorney, the village attorney,

859
00:32:46,100 --> 00:32:47,100
and the village manager,

860
00:32:47,100 --> 00:32:49,100
with some input

861
00:32:49,100 --> 00:32:50,100
from the mayor, have negotiated

862
00:32:50,100 --> 00:32:51,100
a scaled-down version

863
00:32:51,100 --> 00:32:52,100
of the baseball field project

864
00:32:52,100 --> 00:32:53,100
at Founders Park. The revised

865
00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:55,100
scope now focuses

866
00:32:56,100 --> 00:32:57,100
on the baseball field itself,

867
00:32:57,100 --> 00:32:58,100
including artificial turf,

868
00:32:58,100 --> 00:33:00,100
field prep, drainage, and some

869
00:33:00,100 --> 00:33:01,100
of the bullpens, dugouts,

870
00:33:01,100 --> 00:33:02,100
and some new perimeter fencing.

871
00:33:02,100 --> 00:33:03,100
The baseball field license

872
00:33:03,100 --> 00:33:04,100
agreement currently

873
00:33:04,100 --> 00:33:05,100
on your agenda for tonight's

874
00:33:05,100 --> 00:33:06,100
meeting is not the same

875
00:33:06,100 --> 00:33:07,100
agreement that was unanimously

876
00:33:07,100 --> 00:33:08,100
approved by the Village

877
00:33:08,100 --> 00:33:09,100
Council on January 8th and

878
00:33:09,100 --> 00:33:11,401
again on March 14th

879
00:33:12,100 --> 00:33:14,100
with no changes, additions,

880
00:33:14,100 --> 00:33:16,100
or deletions by any of the

881
00:33:16,100 --> 00:33:18,100
council members. I understand

882
00:33:18,100 --> 00:33:19,100
that the Village Council gave

883
00:33:19,100 --> 00:33:21,100
the Village Manager the

884
00:33:21,100 --> 00:33:22,100
authority to negotiate the

885
00:33:22,100 --> 00:33:24,100
license agreement, Based on the

886
00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:26,100
twice unanimously approved

887
00:33:26,100 --> 00:33:28,100
village version. The original

888
00:33:28,100 --> 00:33:30,100
village version approved

889
00:33:30,100 --> 00:33:33,100
agreement still exists. It has

890
00:33:33,100 --> 00:33:34,100
already been reviewed and

891
00:33:34,100 --> 00:33:36,100
approved

892
00:33:36,100 --> 00:33:37,100
by the village council. This

893
00:33:37,100 --> 00:33:39,100
process does not need to start

894
00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:40,100
over with a new version of the

895
00:33:40,100 --> 00:33:42,100
baseball field license

896
00:33:42,100 --> 00:33:43,100
agreement. If your concern is

897
00:33:43,100 --> 00:33:45,100
getting the new baseball field

898
00:33:45,100 --> 00:33:46,100
at Founders Park completed so

899
00:33:46,100 --> 00:33:47,100
our kids and community can

900
00:33:47,100 --> 00:33:48,100
begin using it in January of

901
00:33:48,100 --> 00:33:50,100
2027, The solution is really

902
00:33:50,100 --> 00:33:53,100
very easy. All you need

903
00:33:53,100 --> 00:33:55,100
to do is have your attorney go

904
00:33:55,100 --> 00:33:57,100
to page 3 of the

905
00:33:57,100 --> 00:33:59,100
village-approved agreement

906
00:33:59,100 --> 00:34:01,100
from January 8th, go to

907
00:34:01,100 --> 00:34:03,100
Section B under improvements,

908
00:34:03,100 --> 00:34:05,100
and strike out the items that

909
00:34:05,100 --> 00:34:07,100
are no longer part

910
00:34:07,100 --> 00:34:09,100
of the scaled-down project.

911
00:34:09,100 --> 00:34:12,100
That's it. You can then sign

912
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:13,100
the agreement as written and

913
00:34:13,100 --> 00:34:14,100
already approved by the

914
00:34:14,100 --> 00:34:16,100
Village of Islamorada with only

915
00:34:16,100 --> 00:34:18,100
those necessary changes to

916
00:34:18,100 --> 00:34:19,100
reflect the scaled-down

917
00:34:19,100 --> 00:34:21,100
project. The project can begin.

918
00:34:21,100 --> 00:34:23,100
The kids in the community can

919
00:34:23,100 --> 00:34:24,100
have a new baseball field

920
00:34:24,100 --> 00:34:27,100
for next season. That is this

921
00:34:27,100 --> 00:34:29,100
is not

922
00:34:29,100 --> 00:34:30,100
about delaying this process.

923
00:34:30,100 --> 00:34:32,100
It is exactly the opposite.

924
00:34:32,100 --> 00:34:34,100
This is about keeping the

925
00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:36,100
project moving forward under

926
00:34:36,100 --> 00:34:37,100
the agreement that was already

927
00:34:37,100 --> 00:34:39,100
approved by the Village

928
00:34:39,100 --> 00:34:40,100
Council instead

929
00:34:40,100 --> 00:34:42,100
of delaying the project

930
00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:43,100
by starting over with a new

931
00:34:43,100 --> 00:34:44,100
agreement that has not gone

932
00:34:44,100 --> 00:34:45,100
before the council And does not

933
00:34:45,100 --> 00:34:47,100
appear

934
00:34:48,100 --> 00:34:49,100
to offer the same protections

935
00:34:49,100 --> 00:34:50,100
for the village or the

936
00:34:50,100 --> 00:34:51,100
community. We all want

937
00:34:51,100 --> 00:34:52,100
to see the kids playing on this

938
00:34:52,100 --> 00:34:54,100
new baseball field as soon as

939
00:34:54,100 --> 00:34:56,100
possible. We all want to see

940
00:34:56,100 --> 00:34:58,100
this project move forward,

941
00:34:58,100 --> 00:34:59,100
but it should move forward

942
00:34:59,100 --> 00:35:00,100
under the village-approved

943
00:35:00,100 --> 00:35:01,100
agreement that protects

944
00:35:01,100 --> 00:35:02,100
Founders Park, protects the

945
00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:03,100
community access,

946
00:35:03,100 --> 00:35:05,100
and protects Islamorada

947
00:35:07,100 --> 00:35:08,100
residents now and

948
00:35:08,100 --> 00:35:10,100
in the future. If you support

949
00:35:10,100 --> 00:35:11,100
getting the baseball field

950
00:35:11,100 --> 00:35:13,100
completed, And opening it up

951
00:35:13,100 --> 00:35:14,100
for the community and the kids'

952
00:35:14,100 --> 00:35:15,100
use by January of 2027. Make

953
00:35:15,100 --> 00:35:16,100
the simple edit

954
00:35:16,100 --> 00:35:18,100
to the improvements section,

955
00:35:18,100 --> 00:35:20,100
sign it,

956
00:35:21,100 --> 00:35:23,100
and let's get this field built

957
00:35:23,100 --> 00:35:24,100
for the kids in our community

958
00:35:24,100 --> 00:35:27,100
so they can play ball.

959
00:35:36,100 --> 00:35:37,100
>> Second report will be on

960
00:35:37,100 --> 00:35:38,100
Founders Park baseball field

961
00:35:38,100 --> 00:35:40,401
improvements by Mr. LaFere.

962
00:36:10,100 --> 00:36:11,100
>> Good evening, Mr.

963
00:36:11,100 --> 00:36:12,100
Chairman, board members, Mr.

964
00:36:12,100 --> 00:36:14,100
Superintendent. As

965
00:36:14,100 --> 00:36:15,100
Superintendent indicated, here

966
00:36:15,100 --> 00:36:18,100
to give you an overview

967
00:36:18,100 --> 00:36:20,100
on the Founders Park GMP that

968
00:36:20,100 --> 00:36:22,100
we have on your action item

969
00:36:22,100 --> 00:36:24,100
for consideration today. So as

970
00:36:24,100 --> 00:36:25,100
you all know,

971
00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:26,100
based upon the input we got

972
00:36:26,100 --> 00:36:27,100
from you all and

973
00:36:27,100 --> 00:36:28,100
from the village,

974
00:36:28,100 --> 00:36:30,100
staff was tasked to go back to

975
00:36:30,100 --> 00:36:31,100
our contractor and have them

976
00:36:31,100 --> 00:36:33,401
consider a reduced scope

977
00:36:35,100 --> 00:36:37,100
contract for us

978
00:36:37,100 --> 00:36:39,100
to consider bringing to you,

979
00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:40,100
which is what we've done. So

980
00:36:40,100 --> 00:36:41,100
that contract and the

981
00:36:41,100 --> 00:36:42,100
supporting documents were

982
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:44,100
provided

983
00:36:44,100 --> 00:36:45,100
to us a week ago today, just

984
00:36:45,100 --> 00:36:47,100
in time for us

985
00:36:47,100 --> 00:36:48,100
to get them linked up

986
00:36:48,100 --> 00:36:49,100
to the board member for

987
00:36:49,100 --> 00:36:51,100
to the board meeting agenda

988
00:36:51,100 --> 00:36:53,100
for your consideration. The

989
00:36:53,100 --> 00:36:55,100
reduced scope of work

990
00:36:55,100 --> 00:36:57,100
for this particular project

991
00:36:57,100 --> 00:36:59,100
Is the artificial turf

992
00:36:59,100 --> 00:37:01,401
surface, the dugouts, the

993
00:37:02,100 --> 00:37:03,100
bullpens, the backstop,

994
00:37:03,100 --> 00:37:05,100
the perimeter fencing,

995
00:37:05,100 --> 00:37:06,100
and the knee wall. Not included

996
00:37:06,100 --> 00:37:07,100
in this scope of work,

997
00:37:07,100 --> 00:37:08,100
which was

998
00:37:08,100 --> 00:37:09,100
in the original scope of work

999
00:37:09,100 --> 00:37:11,100
of the project,

1000
00:37:14,100 --> 00:37:15,100
is the concession and press box

1001
00:37:15,100 --> 00:37:16,100
building, the bleachers, the

1002
00:37:16,100 --> 00:37:17,100
scoreboard, major walkways,

1003
00:37:17,100 --> 00:37:18,100
asphalt paving and restriping,

1004
00:37:18,100 --> 00:37:19,100
and obviously any

1005
00:37:19,100 --> 00:37:22,100
of the systems HVAC, fire

1006
00:37:23,100 --> 00:37:24,100
alarm, all the

1007
00:37:24,100 --> 00:37:26,100
building-associated systems are

1008
00:37:26,100 --> 00:37:27,100
all taken out of that scope

1009
00:37:27,100 --> 00:37:29,100
of work. The timeline assuming

1010
00:37:29,100 --> 00:37:31,100
that both the school board

1011
00:37:31,100 --> 00:37:34,100
tonight approves it and the

1012
00:37:35,100 --> 00:37:36,100
Village Council

1013
00:37:36,100 --> 00:37:37,100
at their meeting on July 7th

1014
00:37:37,100 --> 00:37:39,100
approves this contract

1015
00:37:39,100 --> 00:37:41,100
amendment, the contractor would

1016
00:37:41,100 --> 00:37:42,100
go ahead and move forward

1017
00:37:42,100 --> 00:37:44,100
with permitting

1018
00:37:44,100 --> 00:37:45,100
with the village. They'd move

1019
00:37:45,100 --> 00:37:47,100
forward with all their

1020
00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:49,100
procurement that they need

1021
00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:50,100
for the project,

1022
00:37:50,100 --> 00:37:52,100
and their plan would be

1023
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:54,100
to mobilize on-site at

1024
00:37:54,100 --> 00:37:57,100
Founders Park on August 10th,

1025
00:37:58,100 --> 00:38:00,100
with substantial completed with

1026
00:38:00,100 --> 00:38:02,100
substantial completion

1027
00:38:02,100 --> 00:38:04,100
currently scheduled for

1028
00:38:04,100 --> 00:38:06,100
January 15th and final

1029
00:38:06,100 --> 00:38:07,100
completion scheduled for

1030
00:38:07,100 --> 00:38:10,100
January 29th. One final note

1031
00:38:10,100 --> 00:38:13,100
that kind of new development,

1032
00:38:13,100 --> 00:38:15,100
we convened the Construction

1033
00:38:15,100 --> 00:38:17,100
Advisory Committee meeting

1034
00:38:17,100 --> 00:38:19,100
committee last night

1035
00:38:19,100 --> 00:38:20,100
at a meeting.

1036
00:38:20,100 --> 00:38:22,100
with the primary goal to review

1037
00:38:22,100 --> 00:38:24,100
this GMP contract amendment.

1038
00:38:24,100 --> 00:38:26,401
They did consider it

1039
00:38:28,100 --> 00:38:30,100
at length, probably for

1040
00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:31,100
at least 45 minutes, going

1041
00:38:31,100 --> 00:38:33,100
over it, asking lots

1042
00:38:33,100 --> 00:38:34,100
of questions, discussing it

1043
00:38:34,100 --> 00:38:36,100
amongst themselves. But

1044
00:38:36,100 --> 00:38:38,100
ultimately they did approve it

1045
00:38:38,100 --> 00:38:39,100
on a 5-0 vote to come to you as

1046
00:38:39,100 --> 00:38:41,100
a recommended project. So that

1047
00:38:41,100 --> 00:38:43,100
completes what I've got

1048
00:38:43,100 --> 00:38:45,100
to present today,

1049
00:38:45,100 --> 00:38:47,100
pending any questions

1050
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:49,401
from the school board.

1051
00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:56,100
>> I just had one question.

1052
00:38:56,100 --> 00:38:57,100
What is the life expectancy

1053
00:38:57,100 --> 00:38:59,100
of the turf? Remind me. I'm

1054
00:38:59,100 --> 00:39:00,100
sorry,

1055
00:39:00,100 --> 00:39:01,100
I couldn't remember.

1056
00:39:01,100 --> 00:39:02,100
>> Typically,

1057
00:39:02,100 --> 00:39:03,100
in our experience,

1058
00:39:03,100 --> 00:39:04,100
the industry kind

1059
00:39:04,100 --> 00:39:05,100
of standard is 10 years.

1060
00:39:05,100 --> 00:39:06,100
>> Okay. Thank you.

1061
00:39:06,100 --> 00:39:07,100
>> I have a question too. So

1062
00:39:07,100 --> 00:39:09,100
this does not has not chosen

1063
00:39:09,100 --> 00:39:11,100
the contractor

1064
00:39:11,100 --> 00:39:14,100
for the turf yet, true?

1065
00:39:14,100 --> 00:39:16,100
>> The price is based on an

1066
00:39:16,100 --> 00:39:18,401
AstroTurf product that was

1067
00:39:19,100 --> 00:39:21,100
presented to the Design

1068
00:39:21,100 --> 00:39:23,401
Committee, but there were 2

1069
00:39:24,100 --> 00:39:26,100
other vendors that we will

1070
00:39:26,100 --> 00:39:28,100
consider once this if and when

1071
00:39:28,100 --> 00:39:30,401
the project is approved,

1072
00:39:31,100 --> 00:39:34,100
we'll get back with the

1073
00:39:34,100 --> 00:39:35,100
contractor and either select

1074
00:39:35,100 --> 00:39:37,401
that product or one

1075
00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:41,100
of the other 2 that we

1076
00:39:42,100 --> 00:39:44,100
reviewed. We had some more

1077
00:39:44,100 --> 00:39:46,100
questions of the contractor

1078
00:39:46,100 --> 00:39:48,100
at that meeting.

1079
00:39:49,100 --> 00:39:52,100
>> And did those Do the vendors

1080
00:39:52,100 --> 00:39:55,100
vary much in the expected use

1081
00:39:55,100 --> 00:39:56,100
or the warranted uses

1082
00:39:56,100 --> 00:39:58,100
of them?

1083
00:39:58,100 --> 00:39:59,100
>> No significant difference

1084
00:39:59,100 --> 00:40:00,100
between the, the, the 3

1085
00:40:00,100 --> 00:40:01,100
products that we looked at.

1086
00:40:01,100 --> 00:40:02,100
The one question we had, one

1087
00:40:02,100 --> 00:40:03,100
had an environmentally friendly

1088
00:40:03,100 --> 00:40:04,100
option that we would obviously

1089
00:40:04,100 --> 00:40:05,100
want to go with,

1090
00:40:05,100 --> 00:40:06,100
and we didn't know if the other

1091
00:40:06,100 --> 00:40:07,100
2 did,

1092
00:40:07,100 --> 00:40:08,100
and that was being researched

1093
00:40:08,100 --> 00:40:10,100
at that time.

1094
00:40:11,100 --> 00:40:13,100
>> Okay, thank you.

1095
00:40:14,100 --> 00:40:16,100
>> Anyone else? Okay.

1096
00:40:46,100 --> 00:40:47,100
>> So just briefly, I'm happy

1097
00:40:47,100 --> 00:40:48,100
to discuss it more in depth

1098
00:40:48,100 --> 00:40:49,100
with you all if you'd like to

1099
00:40:49,100 --> 00:40:51,100
at this point, but this license

1100
00:40:51,100 --> 00:40:52,100
agreement that's being

1101
00:40:52,100 --> 00:40:54,100
presented is the culmination

1102
00:40:54,100 --> 00:40:55,100
of myself meeting with the

1103
00:40:55,100 --> 00:40:56,100
Village's attorney last week

1104
00:40:56,100 --> 00:40:57,100
and hashing out the terms

1105
00:40:57,100 --> 00:40:58,100
of the agreement. What is

1106
00:40:58,100 --> 00:41:00,100
presented is fully agreed upon

1107
00:41:00,100 --> 00:41:02,100
between myself and the

1108
00:41:02,100 --> 00:41:04,100
Village's attorney,

1109
00:41:04,100 --> 00:41:05,100
with the exception of 4 items

1110
00:41:05,100 --> 00:41:07,100
which I've pointed out to each

1111
00:41:07,100 --> 00:41:10,601
of you. I'll just mention them

1112
00:41:11,100 --> 00:41:13,100
real quick again. It's the I'm

1113
00:41:13,100 --> 00:41:16,100
sorry. It's removing the Phase

1114
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:18,100
1 environmental assessment

1115
00:41:18,100 --> 00:41:19,100
requirement. prior to

1116
00:41:19,100 --> 00:41:21,100
construction commencing. A

1117
00:41:28,100 --> 00:41:30,401
provision in Section 4N

1118
00:41:36,100 --> 00:41:37,100
requiring the village to pay

1119
00:41:37,100 --> 00:41:38,100
for any changes it requests in

1120
00:41:38,100 --> 00:41:39,100
its ownership capacity. A minor

1121
00:41:39,100 --> 00:41:41,100
provision

1122
00:41:41,100 --> 00:41:42,100
in 4O just requiring the

1123
00:41:42,100 --> 00:41:44,100
village

1124
00:41:44,100 --> 00:41:45,100
to reasonably cooperate

1125
00:41:45,100 --> 00:41:46,100
with the school board in

1126
00:41:46,100 --> 00:41:48,100
seeking government approvals.

1127
00:41:49,100 --> 00:41:51,100
Provision 5B just clarifying

1128
00:41:51,100 --> 00:41:53,100
that the payment and

1129
00:41:53,100 --> 00:41:55,100
performance bond requirement

1130
00:41:55,100 --> 00:41:57,100
can be satisfied by either the

1131
00:41:57,100 --> 00:41:59,100
contractor or the school board.

1132
00:41:59,100 --> 00:42:01,100
And the last one is in Section

1133
00:42:01,100 --> 00:42:03,100
10, which just clarifies that

1134
00:42:03,100 --> 00:42:04,100
the insurance requirements

1135
00:42:04,100 --> 00:42:06,100
apply equally to both parties.

1136
00:42:06,100 --> 00:42:08,100
I didn't receive express

1137
00:42:08,100 --> 00:42:10,100
approval from the Village's

1138
00:42:10,100 --> 00:42:13,100
attorney on that, but Ron did

1139
00:42:13,100 --> 00:42:15,100
tell me this evening that he

1140
00:42:15,100 --> 00:42:17,100
believes those provisions are

1141
00:42:17,100 --> 00:42:19,100
okay. If anybody has any

1142
00:42:19,100 --> 00:42:21,100
questions

1143
00:42:21,100 --> 00:42:23,100
on the license agreement,

1144
00:42:23,100 --> 00:42:24,100
I'm happy

1145
00:42:24,100 --> 00:42:26,401
to answer them now.

1146
00:42:27,100 --> 00:42:28,100
>> Otherwise, that's all I

1147
00:42:28,100 --> 00:42:30,100
have. And as far as the GMP

1148
00:42:30,100 --> 00:42:31,100
for the project,

1149
00:42:31,100 --> 00:42:32,100
there's a resolution provided

1150
00:42:32,100 --> 00:42:35,601
for it so that the approval

1151
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:42,100
of the GMP isn't effective

1152
00:42:42,100 --> 00:42:43,100
until the Village approves the

1153
00:42:43,100 --> 00:42:44,100
license agreement and any other

1154
00:42:44,100 --> 00:42:45,100
necessary approvals.

1155
00:42:45,100 --> 00:42:46,100
>> Hunter, just

1156
00:42:46,100 --> 00:42:47,100
for the record, we just learned

1157
00:42:47,100 --> 00:42:48,100
that the length that the

1158
00:42:48,100 --> 00:42:49,100
expected length of use of the

1159
00:42:49,100 --> 00:42:52,100
Surface is 10 years. Is that

1160
00:42:55,100 --> 00:42:58,100
what the where we get

1161
00:42:59,100 --> 00:43:01,401
to a zero amortization?

1162
00:43:03,100 --> 00:43:04,100
>> In the agreement that's

1163
00:43:04,100 --> 00:43:06,100
currently on the agenda,

1164
00:43:06,100 --> 00:43:08,401
it's set at 8 years.

1165
00:43:09,100 --> 00:43:11,100
>> Okay.

1166
00:43:14,100 --> 00:43:16,100
>> And then what happens at 8

1167
00:43:16,100 --> 00:43:18,100
years?

1168
00:43:18,100 --> 00:43:20,100
>> So basically, as it's set

1169
00:43:20,100 --> 00:43:22,100
out pursuant to the schedule

1170
00:43:22,100 --> 00:43:25,100
that is attached, it, you know,

1171
00:43:25,100 --> 00:43:27,100
starts at the full price of the

1172
00:43:27,100 --> 00:43:28,100
improvements and then is

1173
00:43:28,100 --> 00:43:30,100
reduced

1174
00:43:30,100 --> 00:43:32,100
in equal amounts such that

1175
00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:33,100
by year 8, if the village were

1176
00:43:33,100 --> 00:43:35,100
to terminate the agreement,

1177
00:43:35,100 --> 00:43:37,100
there would be no money owed

1178
00:43:37,100 --> 00:43:39,100
absent any sort

1179
00:43:40,100 --> 00:43:41,100
of major improvements or

1180
00:43:41,100 --> 00:43:43,401
repairs to the property.

1181
00:43:44,100 --> 00:43:46,100
>> Okay, and then would we be,

1182
00:43:46,100 --> 00:43:49,100
if we wanted to stay there,

1183
00:43:49,100 --> 00:43:51,401
required to make repairs

1184
00:43:52,100 --> 00:43:54,100
on a field that was not

1185
00:43:54,100 --> 00:43:56,100
>> No, you're not required

1186
00:43:56,100 --> 00:43:57,100
to make repairs

1187
00:43:57,100 --> 00:43:58,100
at any set point in time.

1188
00:43:58,100 --> 00:43:59,100
That's

1189
00:43:59,100 --> 00:44:01,100
within your discretion. You

1190
00:44:01,100 --> 00:44:02,100
know, there is a provision in

1191
00:44:02,100 --> 00:44:05,100
there saying that if basically

1192
00:44:05,100 --> 00:44:07,100
there's a, you know,

1193
00:44:07,100 --> 00:44:08,100
safety issue

1194
00:44:08,100 --> 00:44:09,100
with the field due

1195
00:44:09,100 --> 00:44:11,100
to its age or something

1196
00:44:11,100 --> 00:44:13,100
of the sort, that You're the

1197
00:44:13,100 --> 00:44:14,100
school board is assuming all

1198
00:44:14,100 --> 00:44:16,100
liability, you know,

1199
00:44:16,100 --> 00:44:19,100
associated with that. But as

1200
00:44:20,100 --> 00:44:22,100
far as renovations and the

1201
00:44:22,100 --> 00:44:23,100
useful life, it's contemplated

1202
00:44:23,100 --> 00:44:25,100
in there that you go by either

1203
00:44:25,100 --> 00:44:26,100
the manufacturer's warranty or

1204
00:44:26,100 --> 00:44:28,100
an expert's opinion

1205
00:44:28,100 --> 00:44:29,100
on the remaining useful life

1206
00:44:29,100 --> 00:44:31,100
of the field.

1207
00:44:31,100 --> 00:44:32,100
>> And then you may not know

1208
00:44:32,100 --> 00:44:34,100
this, this might be a question

1209
00:44:34,100 --> 00:44:36,100
for Pat, but what is the how

1210
00:44:36,100 --> 00:44:38,100
long what's the expectation

1211
00:44:38,100 --> 00:44:39,100
for the fencing, the dugouts?

1212
00:44:39,100 --> 00:44:42,100
How long would those how long

1213
00:44:42,100 --> 00:44:44,401
would those be considered

1214
00:44:45,100 --> 00:44:47,100
usable?

1215
00:44:47,100 --> 00:44:49,100
>> I do not know that

1216
00:44:49,100 --> 00:44:50,100
off the top of my head.

1217
00:44:50,100 --> 00:44:51,100
>> How often do we replace

1218
00:44:51,100 --> 00:44:52,100
those in our district?

1219
00:44:52,100 --> 00:44:53,100
>> They would certainly outlast

1220
00:44:53,100 --> 00:44:54,100
the surface longer than 10

1221
00:44:54,100 --> 00:44:55,100
years.

1222
00:44:55,100 --> 00:44:56,100
>> So the investment that we're

1223
00:44:56,100 --> 00:44:57,100
making would go to zero, but

1224
00:44:57,100 --> 00:45:00,601
there would still be a valuable

1225
00:45:02,100 --> 00:45:04,100
field there?

1226
00:45:04,100 --> 00:45:05,100
>> Well, yeah, and part

1227
00:45:05,100 --> 00:45:07,100
of the discussion

1228
00:45:07,100 --> 00:45:08,100
with the village's attorney was

1229
00:45:08,100 --> 00:45:09,100
Well, what does this provision

1230
00:45:09,100 --> 00:45:10,100
look like when the agreements

1231
00:45:10,100 --> 00:45:12,100
are amended or there's a new

1232
00:45:12,100 --> 00:45:13,100
agreement for the remainder

1233
00:45:13,100 --> 00:45:14,100
of the improvements,

1234
00:45:14,100 --> 00:45:16,100
such as the rest of the

1235
00:45:16,100 --> 00:45:18,100
buildings and infrastructure?

1236
00:45:19,100 --> 00:45:21,100
And, you know,

1237
00:45:21,100 --> 00:45:23,100
we didn't really get

1238
00:45:23,100 --> 00:45:25,100
to anywhere concrete there,

1239
00:45:25,100 --> 00:45:27,100
but, you know, they

1240
00:45:27,100 --> 00:45:29,100
acknowledged that the schedule

1241
00:45:29,100 --> 00:45:30,100
would likely be

1242
00:45:30,100 --> 00:45:31,100
for a longer period

1243
00:45:31,100 --> 00:45:33,100
to reflect the, you know,

1244
00:45:33,100 --> 00:45:34,100
the longer period of useful

1245
00:45:34,100 --> 00:45:35,100
life that those improvements

1246
00:45:35,100 --> 00:45:37,100
would have.

1247
00:45:38,100 --> 00:45:39,100
>> Okay.

1248
00:45:39,100 --> 00:45:40,100
>> Right. But so maybe these

1249
00:45:40,100 --> 00:45:41,100
were questions I should have

1250
00:45:41,100 --> 00:45:43,100
asked you before.

1251
00:45:43,100 --> 00:45:45,100
But so roughly half of the

1252
00:45:45,100 --> 00:45:48,100
investment that we will be

1253
00:45:50,100 --> 00:45:53,100
making to the project is the

1254
00:45:53,100 --> 00:45:54,100
field and a little less than

1255
00:45:54,100 --> 00:45:58,100
half is to the rest of the but

1256
00:45:58,100 --> 00:45:59,100
I think the field is a little

1257
00:45:59,100 --> 00:46:00,100
bit more than half,

1258
00:46:00,100 --> 00:46:02,100
right? A little less than half.

1259
00:46:02,100 --> 00:46:03,100
And so the other things that

1260
00:46:03,100 --> 00:46:04,100
would still be That's a break

1261
00:46:04,100 --> 00:46:05,100
down from

1262
00:46:05,100 --> 00:46:06,100
>> And for the new star,

1263
00:46:06,100 --> 00:46:07,100
they have the field estimated

1264
00:46:07,100 --> 00:46:08,100
at about 1.6, and the overall

1265
00:46:08,100 --> 00:46:10,401
project is about 4. So

1266
00:46:15,100 --> 00:46:16,100
>> Yeah. So we would have half

1267
00:46:16,100 --> 00:46:18,100
of the investment still quite

1268
00:46:18,100 --> 00:46:19,100
usable, but the schedule goes

1269
00:46:19,100 --> 00:46:22,100
2 years early for the field.

1270
00:46:22,100 --> 00:46:25,100
So that would mean that the

1271
00:46:25,100 --> 00:46:28,100
whole thing was still right.

1272
00:46:32,100 --> 00:46:33,100
>> Yeah, that was the extent

1273
00:46:33,100 --> 00:46:34,100
of what the Village's attorney

1274
00:46:34,100 --> 00:46:35,100
was willing to agree to

1275
00:46:35,100 --> 00:46:37,100
during our conference. I mean,

1276
00:46:37,100 --> 00:46:38,100
there is a provision in there

1277
00:46:38,100 --> 00:46:40,100
saying that upon completion

1278
00:46:40,100 --> 00:46:41,100
of the improvements,

1279
00:46:41,100 --> 00:46:42,100
each side will adopt a, you

1280
00:46:42,100 --> 00:46:44,100
know, final schedule based

1281
00:46:44,100 --> 00:46:46,100
on the useful life expectancy.

1282
00:46:46,100 --> 00:46:48,100
So, I mean,

1283
00:46:49,100 --> 00:46:51,100
there could be some deviation

1284
00:46:51,100 --> 00:46:52,100
at that point when the final

1285
00:46:52,100 --> 00:46:54,100
schedule is adopted,

1286
00:46:54,100 --> 00:46:55,100
but it does say 8 years is the

1287
00:46:55,100 --> 00:46:57,401
contemplated period right now.

1288
00:46:58,100 --> 00:47:00,100
>> And in the 5-0 agreement,

1289
00:47:00,100 --> 00:47:01,100
what was

1290
00:47:01,100 --> 00:47:03,100
>> I don't believe there was

1291
00:47:03,100 --> 00:47:05,100
any sort of schedule

1292
00:47:05,100 --> 00:47:07,100
in the version

1293
00:47:07,100 --> 00:47:09,100
of the agreement approved

1294
00:47:09,100 --> 00:47:12,601
by the village in January. I

1295
00:47:17,100 --> 00:47:18,100
think it was just that There

1296
00:47:18,100 --> 00:47:19,100
would be an appraisal possibly.

1297
00:47:19,100 --> 00:47:20,100
I could pull it up if you give

1298
00:47:20,100 --> 00:47:21,100
me a few minutes,

1299
00:47:21,100 --> 00:47:22,100
but I can't remember

1300
00:47:22,100 --> 00:47:23,100
off the top of my head.

1301
00:47:23,100 --> 00:47:24,100
>> Maybe

1302
00:47:24,100 --> 00:47:25,100
before the item comes up.

1303
00:47:25,100 --> 00:47:27,100
Thanks.

1304
00:47:28,100 --> 00:47:31,100
>> So the way it stands now,

1305
00:47:31,100 --> 00:47:34,100
if we spent this $4 million

1306
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:38,100
in 8 years, We could be thrown

1307
00:47:38,100 --> 00:47:40,100
out.

1308
00:47:40,100 --> 00:47:42,100
>> Correct.

1309
00:47:42,100 --> 00:47:45,100
>> Actually, we have no three

1310
00:47:45,100 --> 00:47:47,100
years. Yeah, they when can they

1311
00:47:47,100 --> 00:47:48,100
throw us out of there?

1312
00:47:48,100 --> 00:47:50,100
>> Either party can terminate

1313
00:47:50,100 --> 00:47:52,100
at any time upon three years'

1314
00:47:52,100 --> 00:47:54,100
notice.

1315
00:47:55,100 --> 00:47:58,100
>> Which means we have three

1316
00:47:59,100 --> 00:48:01,100
years.

1317
00:48:01,100 --> 00:48:04,100
>> Okay, so that so if they say

1318
00:48:04,100 --> 00:48:05,100
they they want us out

1319
00:48:05,100 --> 00:48:06,100
in one year, then three

1320
00:48:06,100 --> 00:48:07,100
within three years we have

1321
00:48:07,100 --> 00:48:08,100
to be out.

1322
00:48:08,100 --> 00:48:09,100
>> Yeah, it's 3 years no matter

1323
00:48:09,100 --> 00:48:10,100
what.

1324
00:48:10,100 --> 00:48:12,100
>> So on day 2, they could tell

1325
00:48:12,100 --> 00:48:13,100
us that they want

1326
00:48:13,100 --> 00:48:14,100
to end the agreement and 3

1327
00:48:14,100 --> 00:48:15,100
years

1328
00:48:15,100 --> 00:48:16,100
>> Why do they stick to that?

1329
00:48:16,100 --> 00:48:17,100
Why can't they come off

1330
00:48:17,100 --> 00:48:18,100
of that? What and then the 8

1331
00:48:18,100 --> 00:48:19,100
years, it's almost

1332
00:48:19,100 --> 00:48:20,100
like automatic they're going

1333
00:48:20,100 --> 00:48:21,100
to throw us out. And then what

1334
00:48:21,100 --> 00:48:22,100
happens then is we're still

1335
00:48:22,100 --> 00:48:24,100
in the same problem. We have

1336
00:48:24,100 --> 00:48:26,100
to look for a place

1337
00:48:26,100 --> 00:48:28,100
to do this,

1338
00:48:28,100 --> 00:48:30,100
or are we being held hostage? I

1339
00:48:30,100 --> 00:48:31,100
mean, we're spending money.

1340
00:48:31,100 --> 00:48:32,100
This is I mean, it's taxpayers'

1341
00:48:32,100 --> 00:48:34,100
money. I don't know why they

1342
00:48:34,100 --> 00:48:35,100
keep why they have

1343
00:48:35,100 --> 00:48:37,100
to have that. Just say,

1344
00:48:37,100 --> 00:48:39,100
we're going to build a field,

1345
00:48:39,100 --> 00:48:41,100
we'll do the best we can for

1346
00:48:41,100 --> 00:48:43,100
it. I think we should do a

1347
00:48:43,100 --> 00:48:45,100
first-class, you know,

1348
00:48:45,100 --> 00:48:47,100
project there. But we have

1349
00:48:47,100 --> 00:48:49,401
to have the ability

1350
00:48:51,100 --> 00:48:52,100
to stay there. I mean,

1351
00:48:52,100 --> 00:48:53,100
I can't see how do we tell, you

1352
00:48:53,100 --> 00:48:54,100
know I don't know if somebody

1353
00:48:54,100 --> 00:48:56,100
has an idea

1354
00:48:57,100 --> 00:48:58,100
to do something else

1355
00:48:58,100 --> 00:48:59,100
with that property. It just

1356
00:48:59,100 --> 00:49:00,100
it's mind-boggling. I mean, I

1357
00:49:00,100 --> 00:49:01,100
can't see if I asked the

1358
00:49:01,100 --> 00:49:02,100
village of Islamorada

1359
00:49:02,100 --> 00:49:04,100
to spend $5 million

1360
00:49:04,100 --> 00:49:05,100
on some ways

1361
00:49:05,100 --> 00:49:07,100
over here and say, look, you

1362
00:49:07,100 --> 00:49:08,100
know, but we're going

1363
00:49:08,100 --> 00:49:10,100
to throw you out in a couple

1364
00:49:10,100 --> 00:49:11,100
of years, I don't think they'd

1365
00:49:11,100 --> 00:49:12,100
spend the money here. Why

1366
00:49:12,100 --> 00:49:13,100
should we spend the money

1367
00:49:13,100 --> 00:49:14,100
there? I want

1368
00:49:14,100 --> 00:49:15,100
to do this project. I want

1369
00:49:15,100 --> 00:49:16,100
to see this happen. But I have

1370
00:49:16,100 --> 00:49:18,100
to have a guarantee that we're

1371
00:49:18,100 --> 00:49:20,401
there. I mean, it's

1372
00:49:21,100 --> 00:49:23,100
>> And that we're not spending

1373
00:49:23,100 --> 00:49:24,100
taxpayer money.

1374
00:49:24,100 --> 00:49:25,100
>> And, you know,

1375
00:49:25,100 --> 00:49:26,100
every time we try

1376
00:49:26,100 --> 00:49:27,100
to change something, We send it

1377
00:49:27,100 --> 00:49:29,100
back to Islamorada and then

1378
00:49:29,100 --> 00:49:30,100
they come back

1379
00:49:30,100 --> 00:49:31,100
to the original thing,

1380
00:49:31,100 --> 00:49:32,100
whatever they said

1381
00:49:32,100 --> 00:49:33,100
in the beginning. They never

1382
00:49:33,100 --> 00:49:34,100
budged off of anything

1383
00:49:34,100 --> 00:49:37,601
until a little bit this time.

1384
00:49:38,100 --> 00:49:39,100
But, you know

1385
00:49:39,100 --> 00:49:40,100
>> And to be clear, the village

1386
00:49:40,100 --> 00:49:43,601
council has not seen or voted

1387
00:49:46,100 --> 00:49:48,100
on this thing we're voting

1388
00:49:48,100 --> 00:49:49,100
on today?

1389
00:49:49,100 --> 00:49:50,100
>> Correct. I mean,

1390
00:49:50,100 --> 00:49:51,100
I'm assuming it was shared

1391
00:49:51,100 --> 00:49:53,100
with them, but, you know,

1392
00:49:53,100 --> 00:49:54,100
I didn't share it

1393
00:49:54,100 --> 00:49:56,100
with them.

1394
00:49:56,100 --> 00:49:57,100
>> Yeah, I think we probably

1395
00:49:57,100 --> 00:49:58,100
should be having this

1396
00:49:58,100 --> 00:49:59,100
discussion at the item

1397
00:49:59,100 --> 00:50:00,100
discussion item. I mean,

1398
00:50:00,100 --> 00:50:02,100
we can add well,

1399
00:50:02,100 --> 00:50:03,100
you guys will be around

1400
00:50:03,100 --> 00:50:04,100
to have I mean, that's up

1401
00:50:04,100 --> 00:50:05,100
to you, John, but I think that

1402
00:50:05,100 --> 00:50:07,100
we probably need to

1403
00:50:07,100 --> 00:50:09,100
>> And I figured, you know,

1404
00:50:09,100 --> 00:50:10,100
I wasn't going

1405
00:50:10,100 --> 00:50:12,100
to shut you up. I'd get

1406
00:50:12,100 --> 00:50:13,100
into trouble. I'm always

1407
00:50:13,100 --> 00:50:15,401
getting in trouble anyway.

1408
00:50:17,100 --> 00:50:19,100
Okay, let's

1409
00:50:21,100 --> 00:50:22,100
But let's make it short on the

1410
00:50:22,100 --> 00:50:24,100
policies so we don't keep

1411
00:50:24,100 --> 00:50:26,401
everybody waiting. All right?

1412
00:50:29,100 --> 00:50:30,100
So, well, it's up

1413
00:50:30,100 --> 00:50:31,100
to the superintendent

1414
00:50:31,100 --> 00:50:33,100
to speak now.

1415
00:50:34,100 --> 00:50:35,100
>> Thank you. I have a couple

1416
00:50:35,100 --> 00:50:36,100
things and I'll be brief,

1417
00:50:36,100 --> 00:50:37,100
but I'm going to start with 2

1418
00:50:37,100 --> 00:50:39,100
introductions. The first is the

1419
00:50:39,100 --> 00:50:40,100
Southern Group's Kate DeLoach

1420
00:50:40,100 --> 00:50:41,100
is going to give us a

1421
00:50:41,100 --> 00:50:42,100
legislative wrap-up.

1422
00:50:42,100 --> 00:50:44,100
So, Ms. DeLoach.

1423
00:51:03,100 --> 00:51:04,100
>> All right. Well, thank you,

1424
00:51:04,100 --> 00:51:05,100
everyone.

1425
00:51:05,100 --> 00:51:06,100
I can't tell you how

1426
00:51:06,100 --> 00:51:07,100
grateful I am to be here

1427
00:51:07,100 --> 00:51:08,100
in person and not on Zoom land,

1428
00:51:08,100 --> 00:51:09,100
as we have been for many,

1429
00:51:09,100 --> 00:51:10,100
many weeks. But I wanted to

1430
00:51:10,100 --> 00:51:13,100
take this opportunity I know

1431
00:51:14,100 --> 00:51:15,100
most of you probably I don't

1432
00:51:15,100 --> 00:51:16,100
know if you have heard this

1433
00:51:16,100 --> 00:51:17,100
news,

1434
00:51:17,100 --> 00:51:18,100
but we do have an addition

1435
00:51:18,100 --> 00:51:20,100
to the Florida Keys office

1436
00:51:20,100 --> 00:51:21,100
at the Southern Group, which is

1437
00:51:21,100 --> 00:51:23,100
really exciting for me. Erin

1438
00:51:23,100 --> 00:51:25,100
and I are joining forces again,

1439
00:51:25,100 --> 00:51:26,100
and so Aaron will be working

1440
00:51:26,100 --> 00:51:28,100
with me on all of our Florida

1441
00:51:28,100 --> 00:51:31,100
Keys clients. And I'm excited

1442
00:51:31,100 --> 00:51:32,100
to say we have another Monroe

1443
00:51:32,100 --> 00:51:34,401
County Schools graduate working

1444
00:51:35,100 --> 00:51:36,100
on the Monroe County Schools

1445
00:51:36,100 --> 00:51:37,100
team. So I dragged Aaron up

1446
00:51:37,100 --> 00:51:38,100
here with me

1447
00:51:38,100 --> 00:51:40,100
to give me a little bit of

1448
00:51:40,100 --> 00:51:41,100
support this evening.

1449
00:51:41,100 --> 00:51:42,100
>> I think we all know who

1450
00:51:42,100 --> 00:51:44,100
Erin is, but do you want

1451
00:51:44,100 --> 00:51:46,100
to give her whole name?

1452
00:51:46,100 --> 00:51:48,100
>> Sure. Hi everyone,

1453
00:51:48,100 --> 00:51:49,100
my name is Erin Muir. I am a

1454
00:51:49,100 --> 00:51:51,100
lifetime Florida Keys resident

1455
00:51:51,100 --> 00:51:53,100
here, proud product of the

1456
00:51:53,100 --> 00:51:55,100
Monroe County School System. I

1457
00:51:55,100 --> 00:51:57,100
joined the Southern Group

1458
00:51:57,100 --> 00:51:58,100
at the start of the year

1459
00:51:58,100 --> 00:52:00,100
after spending my career

1460
00:52:00,100 --> 00:52:01,100
in government and nonprofits,

1461
00:52:01,100 --> 00:52:03,100
so I'm very excited to be able

1462
00:52:03,100 --> 00:52:04,100
to work with you all. And now,

1463
00:52:04,100 --> 00:52:05,100
you know,

1464
00:52:05,100 --> 00:52:06,100
my life is coming full circle

1465
00:52:06,100 --> 00:52:07,100
with my own kids

1466
00:52:07,100 --> 00:52:10,100
in the school system. My

1467
00:52:12,100 --> 00:52:14,100
daughter has been at PKS and my

1468
00:52:14,100 --> 00:52:16,100
son just completed kindergarten

1469
00:52:16,100 --> 00:52:18,100
roundup and is headed to PKS

1470
00:52:18,100 --> 00:52:21,100
in August too. So really

1471
00:52:21,100 --> 00:52:22,100
excited to be working

1472
00:52:22,100 --> 00:52:25,100
with you all. Thank you, Sue.

1473
00:52:25,100 --> 00:52:27,100
And we won't take up too much

1474
00:52:27,100 --> 00:52:28,100
of your time today. We just

1475
00:52:28,100 --> 00:52:29,100
wanted to, one,

1476
00:52:29,100 --> 00:52:31,100
thank you again

1477
00:52:32,100 --> 00:52:34,100
for the opportunity

1478
00:52:34,100 --> 00:52:35,100
to represent you in

1479
00:52:35,100 --> 00:52:37,100
Tallahassee. It was an

1480
00:52:37,100 --> 00:52:38,100
interesting session. It was an

1481
00:52:38,100 --> 00:52:39,100
extended session. I think when

1482
00:52:39,100 --> 00:52:41,100
we finally came home,

1483
00:52:41,100 --> 00:52:42,100
we had been through Special

1484
00:52:42,100 --> 00:52:44,100
Session F, which is always a

1485
00:52:44,100 --> 00:52:46,100
little bit longer than we

1486
00:52:46,100 --> 00:52:47,100
usually plan to spend in

1487
00:52:47,100 --> 00:52:48,100
Tallahassee. But as of today,

1488
00:52:48,100 --> 00:52:50,100
the budget has officially been

1489
00:52:50,100 --> 00:52:51,100
sent to the governor,

1490
00:52:51,100 --> 00:52:52,100
so we should be seeing movement

1491
00:52:52,100 --> 00:52:53,100
on that. I would expect this

1492
00:52:53,100 --> 00:52:55,100
week that we'll see some

1493
00:52:55,100 --> 00:52:56,100
development on that. So we

1494
00:52:56,100 --> 00:52:57,100
wanted to take this chance.

1495
00:52:57,100 --> 00:52:58,100
I'll be sending you all the

1496
00:52:58,100 --> 00:53:00,100
full education silo budget

1497
00:53:00,100 --> 00:53:01,100
analysis. It's pretty hefty.

1498
00:53:01,100 --> 00:53:02,100
This is obviously one

1499
00:53:02,100 --> 00:53:04,100
of the biggest areas

1500
00:53:04,100 --> 00:53:05,100
of the budget in the state. So

1501
00:53:05,100 --> 00:53:06,100
if after you get that you have

1502
00:53:06,100 --> 00:53:08,100
any questions,

1503
00:53:08,100 --> 00:53:09,100
please don't hesitate

1504
00:53:09,100 --> 00:53:11,100
to reach out. But just a few

1505
00:53:11,100 --> 00:53:12,100
things that we wanted

1506
00:53:12,100 --> 00:53:14,100
to highlight. One was there is

1507
00:53:14,100 --> 00:53:16,401
$200 million that has been

1508
00:53:17,100 --> 00:53:18,100
allocated within the teacher

1509
00:53:18,100 --> 00:53:19,100
salary increases,

1510
00:53:19,100 --> 00:53:21,100
and the proviso in the budget

1511
00:53:21,100 --> 00:53:22,100
this year actually stipulates

1512
00:53:22,100 --> 00:53:23,100
that that $200 is directed

1513
00:53:23,100 --> 00:53:24,100
to teachers with 10 years

1514
00:53:24,100 --> 00:53:26,100
of experience or more. So it's

1515
00:53:26,100 --> 00:53:27,100
not the full pot, but that

1516
00:53:27,100 --> 00:53:29,401
$200 million is actually for

1517
00:53:30,100 --> 00:53:31,100
those 10-plus years teachers,

1518
00:53:31,100 --> 00:53:32,100
which was an interesting little

1519
00:53:32,100 --> 00:53:33,000
proviso language

1520
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:36,000
at the last minute. Another

1521
00:53:36,100 --> 00:53:39,100
issue that we've talked about

1522
00:53:39,100 --> 00:53:41,100
before was the scholarship

1523
00:53:41,100 --> 00:53:42,100
accountability issue,

1524
00:53:42,100 --> 00:53:43,100
which obviously was a big topic

1525
00:53:43,100 --> 00:53:44,100
during session. A bill was

1526
00:53:44,100 --> 00:53:45,100
filed by Senator Gates. It

1527
00:53:45,100 --> 00:53:46,100
actually passed the Senate, I

1528
00:53:46,100 --> 00:53:47,100
want to say unanimously,

1529
00:53:47,100 --> 00:53:48,100
but it did not pass the

1530
00:53:48,100 --> 00:53:50,100
House. They were able to sort

1531
00:53:50,100 --> 00:53:51,100
of incorporate some portions

1532
00:53:51,100 --> 00:53:53,401
of the funding concerns

1533
00:53:55,100 --> 00:53:57,100
into the final budget. So there

1534
00:53:57,100 --> 00:53:58,100
are a few things there,

1535
00:53:58,100 --> 00:54:00,100
including a $79 million

1536
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:02,100
allocation for districts

1537
00:54:02,100 --> 00:54:04,401
with declining enrollment and

1538
00:54:05,100 --> 00:54:07,100
$47.5 million to create a new

1539
00:54:07,100 --> 00:54:09,100
education enrollment

1540
00:54:09,100 --> 00:54:11,100
stabilization program to assist

1541
00:54:11,100 --> 00:54:13,100
impacted districts.

1542
00:54:15,100 --> 00:54:16,100
moving forward.

1543
00:54:16,100 --> 00:54:18,100
Additionally

1544
00:54:19,100 --> 00:54:20,100
in the budget,

1545
00:54:20,100 --> 00:54:22,100
a little bit closer to home,

1546
00:54:22,100 --> 00:54:23,100
were our budget projects. We

1547
00:54:23,100 --> 00:54:24,100
were successful in getting

1548
00:54:24,100 --> 00:54:25,100
$1.75 million for our Bruce

1549
00:54:25,100 --> 00:54:27,401
Hall project. The Trumbo

1550
00:54:37,100 --> 00:54:38,100
project was also funded at $5

1551
00:54:38,100 --> 00:54:39,100
million. And just a big

1552
00:54:39,100 --> 00:54:40,100
shout-out to our delegation,

1553
00:54:40,100 --> 00:54:41,100
to Rhett Mooney and Senator

1554
00:54:41,100 --> 00:54:42,100
Rodriguez. This was a tough

1555
00:54:42,100 --> 00:54:43,100
budget year,

1556
00:54:43,100 --> 00:54:44,100
and the PECO list where Bruce

1557
00:54:44,100 --> 00:54:45,100
Hall is is particularly tricky

1558
00:54:45,100 --> 00:54:46,100
with the way that it's

1559
00:54:46,100 --> 00:54:47,100
published, and they were both

1560
00:54:47,100 --> 00:54:48,100
spectacular this year in making

1561
00:54:48,100 --> 00:54:49,100
sure that even when it looked

1562
00:54:49,100 --> 00:54:50,100
like something might fall out,

1563
00:54:50,100 --> 00:54:51,100
they were always available 24

1564
00:54:51,100 --> 00:54:52,100
hours a day to make sure our

1565
00:54:52,100 --> 00:54:53,100
projects stayed in. So always

1566
00:54:53,100 --> 00:54:55,100
feel like we need

1567
00:54:55,100 --> 00:54:58,601
to give them a big shout

1568
00:54:59,100 --> 00:55:00,100
out for,

1569
00:55:00,100 --> 00:55:01,100
for what they do up there. And

1570
00:55:01,100 --> 00:55:03,100
then the last 2 things I wanted

1571
00:55:03,100 --> 00:55:04,100
to highlight were just 2 bills

1572
00:55:04,100 --> 00:55:05,100
that we've talked

1573
00:55:05,100 --> 00:55:06,100
about before, both

1574
00:55:06,100 --> 00:55:08,100
of which have been signed. One

1575
00:55:08,100 --> 00:55:09,100
was the requirements for a

1576
00:55:09,100 --> 00:55:10,100
standard high school diploma.

1577
00:55:10,100 --> 00:55:12,100
That's one we'll work on

1578
00:55:12,100 --> 00:55:13,100
over the summer. with the

1579
00:55:13,100 --> 00:55:14,100
competitive dance team

1580
00:55:14,100 --> 00:55:17,100
component. And then the other

1581
00:55:17,100 --> 00:55:19,100
was SP 538, the

1582
00:55:19,100 --> 00:55:21,100
Extracurricular Activities

1583
00:55:22,100 --> 00:55:24,100
Bill. That's the bill that

1584
00:55:24,100 --> 00:55:25,100
revises rules on funding

1585
00:55:25,100 --> 00:55:26,100
eligibility and admin

1586
00:55:26,100 --> 00:55:27,100
responsibilities for

1587
00:55:27,100 --> 00:55:29,100
interscholastic and

1588
00:55:29,100 --> 00:55:30,100
extracurriculars. That bill was

1589
00:55:30,100 --> 00:55:32,100
also signed and is actually

1590
00:55:32,100 --> 00:55:33,100
slated to be discussed by the

1591
00:55:33,100 --> 00:55:34,100
Revenue Estimating Conference

1592
00:55:34,100 --> 00:55:35,100
tomorrow. So we'll send you

1593
00:55:35,100 --> 00:55:37,100
guys any additional information

1594
00:55:37,100 --> 00:55:38,100
if that comes out from

1595
00:55:38,100 --> 00:55:39,100
Tallahassee. But with that,

1596
00:55:39,100 --> 00:55:40,100
we're happy

1597
00:55:40,100 --> 00:55:42,100
to answer any questions,

1598
00:55:42,100 --> 00:55:43,100
and hopefully we'll be able to

1599
00:55:43,100 --> 00:55:44,100
report some good budget news,

1600
00:55:44,100 --> 00:55:45,100
some final budget news

1601
00:55:45,100 --> 00:55:47,401
in a few days.

1602
00:55:54,100 --> 00:55:56,100
>> Maybe I have a question

1603
00:55:56,100 --> 00:55:57,100
for you, Mr. Tierney. What's

1604
00:55:57,100 --> 00:55:58,100
the plan? What's your kind

1605
00:55:58,100 --> 00:55:59,100
of ideas about what we want

1606
00:55:59,100 --> 00:56:01,100
to do to move forward on a

1607
00:56:01,100 --> 00:56:02,100
platform? I know last year we

1608
00:56:02,100 --> 00:56:03,100
wanted to do We just thought we

1609
00:56:03,100 --> 00:56:04,100
would do it sooner. But I don't

1610
00:56:04,100 --> 00:56:05,100
know if this is a good time

1611
00:56:05,100 --> 00:56:06,100
for Kate to talk

1612
00:56:06,100 --> 00:56:07,100
about what that process looks

1613
00:56:07,100 --> 00:56:08,100
like or when that timeframe

1614
00:56:08,100 --> 00:56:09,100
might be.

1615
00:56:09,100 --> 00:56:11,100
>> I'll address that. I think

1616
00:56:11,100 --> 00:56:12,100
going forward it helps us

1617
00:56:12,100 --> 00:56:14,100
to codify what we'd

1618
00:56:14,100 --> 00:56:15,100
like our legislative priorities

1619
00:56:15,100 --> 00:56:17,100
to be in Tallahassee. That way

1620
00:56:17,100 --> 00:56:19,100
it doesn't matter who goes

1621
00:56:19,100 --> 00:56:21,100
because we're all going

1622
00:56:21,100 --> 00:56:22,100
to have the same message to

1623
00:56:22,100 --> 00:56:23,100
include any appropriations we'd

1624
00:56:23,100 --> 00:56:24,100
seek. So Ms. Loach was very

1625
00:56:24,100 --> 00:56:26,401
helpful this time talking

1626
00:56:32,100 --> 00:56:33,100
to everybody

1627
00:56:33,100 --> 00:56:34,100
to get those together,

1628
00:56:34,100 --> 00:56:35,100
synthesizing them. Well, we

1629
00:56:35,100 --> 00:56:36,100
were a little rushed this year,

1630
00:56:36,100 --> 00:56:37,100
so we'll probably have either a

1631
00:56:37,100 --> 00:56:38,100
workshop or retreat ahead

1632
00:56:38,100 --> 00:56:39,100
of time to talk through that,

1633
00:56:39,100 --> 00:56:40,100
but we'll end up with a similar

1634
00:56:40,100 --> 00:56:42,100
product every time that the

1635
00:56:42,100 --> 00:56:43,100
legislature is going

1636
00:56:43,100 --> 00:56:45,100
into session.

1637
00:56:46,100 --> 00:56:47,100
>> All right, great,

1638
00:56:47,100 --> 00:56:48,100
thanks.

1639
00:56:48,100 --> 00:56:49,100
And from a timing

1640
00:56:49,100 --> 00:56:50,100
perspective,

1641
00:56:50,100 --> 00:56:51,100
we do have a little bit

1642
00:56:51,100 --> 00:56:52,100
of time this year. It will be a

1643
00:56:52,100 --> 00:56:53,100
later session. We'll also have

1644
00:56:53,100 --> 00:56:55,100
all new leadership new

1645
00:56:55,100 --> 00:56:56,100
leadership

1646
00:56:56,100 --> 00:56:57,100
in the governor's office,

1647
00:56:57,100 --> 00:56:58,100
new leadership in the House,

1648
00:56:58,100 --> 00:56:59,100
and new leadership in the

1649
00:56:59,100 --> 00:57:02,601
Senate. So I think the summer

1650
00:57:10,100 --> 00:57:11,100
will be a really good time

1651
00:57:11,100 --> 00:57:12,100
for us to have that kind

1652
00:57:12,100 --> 00:57:13,100
of platform discussion.

1653
00:57:13,100 --> 00:57:14,100
>> Thank you guys so much.

1654
00:57:14,100 --> 00:57:15,100
Have a great day. Thank you.

1655
00:57:15,100 --> 00:57:16,100
>> Moving forward,

1656
00:57:16,100 --> 00:57:17,100
when we hire new principals

1657
00:57:17,100 --> 00:57:18,100
in Monroe County and I'm

1658
00:57:18,100 --> 00:57:19,100
defining new principals as

1659
00:57:19,100 --> 00:57:20,100
never having served in the role

1660
00:57:20,100 --> 00:57:21,100
or not being a principal in

1661
00:57:21,100 --> 00:57:22,100
Monroe County I'm going

1662
00:57:22,100 --> 00:57:23,100
to ask that person to come and

1663
00:57:23,100 --> 00:57:24,100
briefly address the board. So

1664
00:57:24,100 --> 00:57:25,100
PKS has benefited

1665
00:57:25,100 --> 00:57:26,100
from great leadership

1666
00:57:26,100 --> 00:57:27,100
in recent history,

1667
00:57:27,100 --> 00:57:28,100
and it was important

1668
00:57:28,100 --> 00:57:29,100
to that community,

1669
00:57:29,100 --> 00:57:31,100
to this community,

1670
00:57:32,100 --> 00:57:33,100
to continue that. And we found

1671
00:57:33,100 --> 00:57:34,100
we believe we found the perfect

1672
00:57:34,100 --> 00:57:35,100
person in Ms. Maida Cort. So

1673
00:57:35,100 --> 00:57:37,100
welcome. Thank you

1674
00:57:37,100 --> 00:57:39,100
for being here.

1675
00:57:43,100 --> 00:57:45,100
>> Hi. I'm here tonight

1676
00:57:45,100 --> 00:57:46,100
to introduce myself. For those

1677
00:57:46,100 --> 00:57:48,100
of you who may not know me,

1678
00:57:48,100 --> 00:57:49,100
my name is Maida Cort. I'm

1679
00:57:49,100 --> 00:57:51,100
going to read because I'm a

1680
00:57:51,100 --> 00:57:52,100
little nervous. I'm not

1681
00:57:52,100 --> 00:57:53,100
normally nervous. but y'all are

1682
00:57:53,100 --> 00:57:55,100
pretty intimidating.

1683
00:57:55,100 --> 00:57:57,100
For the past 9 years,

1684
00:57:57,100 --> 00:57:59,100
I've had the distinct honor of

1685
00:57:59,100 --> 00:58:00,100
serving as the assistant

1686
00:58:00,100 --> 00:58:02,100
principal of the Plantation

1687
00:58:02,100 --> 00:58:03,100
Keys school community,

1688
00:58:03,100 --> 00:58:05,100
and I'm also a very proud local

1689
00:58:05,100 --> 00:58:06,100
resident,

1690
00:58:06,100 --> 00:58:08,100
and I'm also the mother of 4

1691
00:58:08,100 --> 00:58:11,100
Coral Shores graduates. And so

1692
00:58:12,100 --> 00:58:15,100
all of that to say,

1693
00:58:16,100 --> 00:58:18,100
my heart is completely invested

1694
00:58:18,100 --> 00:58:19,100
in the Upper Keys. Today I

1695
00:58:19,100 --> 00:58:20,100
stand before you

1696
00:58:20,100 --> 00:58:21,100
with immense gratitude and

1697
00:58:21,100 --> 00:58:23,100
honor to officially step

1698
00:58:23,100 --> 00:58:24,100
into the role of the principal

1699
00:58:24,100 --> 00:58:26,100
of Plantation Key School.

1700
00:58:26,100 --> 00:58:28,100
First, I'd like

1701
00:58:28,100 --> 00:58:29,100
to extend my deepest thanks

1702
00:58:29,100 --> 00:58:30,100
to our retiring principal,

1703
00:58:30,100 --> 00:58:31,100
Ms. Lisa Taylor.

1704
00:58:31,100 --> 00:58:33,100
Along I have worked alongside

1705
00:58:33,100 --> 00:58:34,100
Lisa for nearly a decade,

1706
00:58:34,100 --> 00:58:36,100
and it has been a master class

1707
00:58:36,100 --> 00:58:37,100
in leadership. She has left

1708
00:58:37,100 --> 00:58:38,100
behind a profound legacy,

1709
00:58:38,100 --> 00:58:39,100
and I'm incredibly grateful for

1710
00:58:39,100 --> 00:58:41,100
her mentorship and her

1711
00:58:41,100 --> 00:58:42,100
friendship. 9 years in the

1712
00:58:42,100 --> 00:58:44,401
trenches will teach you

1713
00:58:45,100 --> 00:58:46,100
everything you need to know

1714
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:48,100
about a school. I know our

1715
00:58:48,100 --> 00:58:50,100
strengths because I have

1716
00:58:50,100 --> 00:58:51,100
celebrated them in our

1717
00:58:51,100 --> 00:58:52,100
classrooms. I know our

1718
00:58:52,100 --> 00:58:54,100
challenges because I've worked

1719
00:58:54,100 --> 00:58:55,100
alongside our dedicated

1720
00:58:55,100 --> 00:58:56,100
teachers to solve them.

1721
00:58:56,100 --> 00:58:57,100
But most importantly, I know

1722
00:58:57,100 --> 00:58:59,100
our students. I know their

1723
00:58:59,100 --> 00:59:01,100
names, I know their families,

1724
00:59:01,100 --> 00:59:02,100
and I know their potential.

1725
00:59:02,100 --> 00:59:04,100
And so this transition is not

1726
00:59:04,100 --> 00:59:06,401
about starting over. Luckily,

1727
00:59:07,100 --> 00:59:08,100
it's about leveling up. I can

1728
00:59:08,100 --> 00:59:10,100
hit the ground running because

1729
00:59:10,100 --> 00:59:12,100
I already know this building

1730
00:59:12,100 --> 00:59:13,100
inside and out. Thank you for

1731
00:59:13,100 --> 00:59:14,100
your trust and your

1732
00:59:14,100 --> 00:59:16,100
partnership. Thank you

1733
00:59:20,100 --> 00:59:21,100
for your shared commitment

1734
00:59:21,100 --> 00:59:22,100
to our students' success,

1735
00:59:22,100 --> 00:59:23,100
and I look forward to working

1736
00:59:23,100 --> 00:59:24,100
with you closely as we lead

1737
00:59:24,100 --> 00:59:25,100
Plantation Key School

1738
00:59:25,100 --> 00:59:26,100
into its next great chapter.

1739
00:59:26,100 --> 00:59:28,100
That's it.

1740
00:59:37,100 --> 00:59:39,100
>> Thank you for coming. So

1741
00:59:39,100 --> 00:59:41,100
there's 2 more things I have

1742
00:59:41,100 --> 00:59:42,100
to cover. I'm gonna, I'm gonna

1743
00:59:42,100 --> 00:59:43,100
cut my comments short because I

1744
00:59:43,100 --> 00:59:44,100
know there's important business

1745
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:46,100
We have to get to,

1746
00:59:46,100 --> 00:59:48,100
but there are 2 other things

1747
00:59:48,100 --> 00:59:49,100
that I have to mention. The

1748
00:59:49,100 --> 00:59:50,100
first is hard to believe,

1749
00:59:50,100 --> 00:59:51,100
but my evaluation

1750
00:59:51,100 --> 00:59:52,100
for the first year is due by

1751
00:59:52,100 --> 00:59:54,100
August 1st, and that means

1752
00:59:54,100 --> 00:59:56,100
by the 28th of July board

1753
00:59:56,100 --> 00:59:57,100
meeting we have

1754
00:59:57,100 --> 00:59:58,100
to have that done. So there's a

1755
00:59:58,100 --> 01:00:00,100
meeting on the 21st and the

1756
01:00:00,100 --> 01:00:01,100
28th. I'm going to get the

1757
01:00:01,100 --> 01:00:02,100
information that you need. I'm

1758
01:00:02,100 --> 01:00:04,100
going to try to get it 2 weeks

1759
01:00:04,100 --> 01:00:05,100
ahead, so to the 14th,

1760
01:00:05,100 --> 01:00:06,100
so you have it for the 28th,

1761
01:00:06,100 --> 01:00:07,100
so you have time

1762
01:00:07,100 --> 01:00:08,100
to synthesize that.

1763
01:00:08,100 --> 01:00:09,100
But I would just say it is time

1764
01:00:09,100 --> 01:00:10,100
for you to start reflecting on

1765
01:00:10,100 --> 01:00:12,100
that because as that will be

1766
01:00:12,100 --> 01:00:14,100
here in no time. And the second

1767
01:00:14,100 --> 01:00:16,100
is, a former superintendent

1768
01:00:16,100 --> 01:00:18,100
of mine and mentor used to

1769
01:00:18,100 --> 01:00:19,100
regularly say that public

1770
01:00:19,100 --> 01:00:20,100
education is the genius of our

1771
01:00:20,100 --> 01:00:21,100
democracy and graduation is its

1772
01:00:21,100 --> 01:00:23,100
crown jewel. And he impressed

1773
01:00:23,100 --> 01:00:24,100
that

1774
01:00:24,100 --> 01:00:25,100
on high school principals, and

1775
01:00:25,100 --> 01:00:26,100
I was a high school principal

1776
01:00:26,100 --> 01:00:28,100
at the time, and his message

1777
01:00:28,100 --> 01:00:29,100
was that it is incumbent on us

1778
01:00:29,100 --> 01:00:31,100
to defend and protect the

1779
01:00:31,100 --> 01:00:33,100
dignity and celebratory nature

1780
01:00:33,100 --> 01:00:35,100
of that ceremony. And that

1781
01:00:35,100 --> 01:00:37,100
remains with me. So I was so

1782
01:00:37,100 --> 01:00:38,100
pleased and proud

1783
01:00:38,100 --> 01:00:39,100
of the graduations that 3 high

1784
01:00:39,100 --> 01:00:42,100
schools had in Monroe County.

1785
01:00:42,100 --> 01:00:43,100
And I would like to thank

1786
01:00:43,100 --> 01:00:44,100
the 3 high school principals

1787
01:00:44,100 --> 01:00:45,100
for putting

1788
01:00:45,100 --> 01:00:46,100
on such magnificent ceremonies.

1789
01:00:46,100 --> 01:00:47,100
We did a video

1790
01:00:47,100 --> 01:00:48,100
to commemorate that,

1791
01:00:48,100 --> 01:00:49,100
and I'd also like to thank

1792
01:00:49,100 --> 01:00:50,100
Mr. Damali Phipps

1793
01:00:50,100 --> 01:00:51,100
for helping us with that,

1794
01:00:51,100 --> 01:00:52,100
but I'm going

1795
01:00:52,100 --> 01:00:53,100
to play that video

1796
01:00:53,100 --> 01:00:55,401
to conclude my comments.

1797
01:00:56,100 --> 01:00:58,100
>> [VIDEO PLAYING]

1798
01:02:58,100 --> 01:02:59,100
>> Yeah, that concludes my

1799
01:02:59,100 --> 01:03:01,100
comments.

1800
01:03:04,100 --> 01:03:05,100
>> Very good. Board members,

1801
01:03:05,100 --> 01:03:06,100
we'll start with you, Sue.

1802
01:03:06,100 --> 01:03:07,100
You, you're talking a lot

1803
01:03:07,100 --> 01:03:09,100
tonight.

1804
01:03:10,100 --> 01:03:11,100
>> I loved the movie. Thank you

1805
01:03:11,100 --> 01:03:13,100
for that. That's all my comment

1806
01:03:13,100 --> 01:03:15,100
is.

1807
01:03:17,100 --> 01:03:18,100
>> Anybody over here want

1808
01:03:18,100 --> 01:03:19,100
to talk?

1809
01:03:19,100 --> 01:03:21,100
>> Go ahead.

1810
01:03:21,100 --> 01:03:22,100
>> I'm going

1811
01:03:22,100 --> 01:03:23,100
to say what I have to say

1812
01:03:23,100 --> 01:03:26,100
at the action item agenda.

1813
01:03:27,100 --> 01:03:28,100
>> So it well, I got

1814
01:03:28,100 --> 01:03:30,100
to say something. So anyway, I

1815
01:03:30,100 --> 01:03:32,401
hope everybody celebrates the

1816
01:03:33,100 --> 01:03:36,100
4th of July with 250 years.

1817
01:03:37,100 --> 01:03:40,100
And you know, summertime, 4th

1818
01:03:44,100 --> 01:03:47,100
of July, America, it brings

1819
01:03:47,100 --> 01:03:49,401
baseball, right? Not soccer.

1820
01:03:51,100 --> 01:03:52,100
All these people

1821
01:03:52,100 --> 01:03:54,100
with this soccer stuff.

1822
01:03:54,100 --> 01:03:55,100
Baseball. Now I

1823
01:03:55,100 --> 01:03:56,100
like wrestling too,

1824
01:03:56,100 --> 01:03:58,100
but it wasn't in my, you know,

1825
01:03:58,100 --> 01:03:59,100
but baseball was important.

1826
01:03:59,100 --> 01:04:02,100
See, I, maybe around the 4th

1827
01:04:02,100 --> 01:04:04,100
of July, well no,

1828
01:04:04,100 --> 01:04:05,100
that would always be the

1829
01:04:05,100 --> 01:04:06,100
All-Star Game, But sometime

1830
01:04:06,100 --> 01:04:08,100
in July, back when I was a kid,

1831
01:04:08,100 --> 01:04:10,100
I'd see the Dodgers play in

1832
01:04:10,100 --> 01:04:11,100
Ebbets Field. Those were great

1833
01:04:11,100 --> 01:04:13,100
days. Well, anyway, I hope

1834
01:04:13,100 --> 01:04:14,100
everybody really celebrates and

1835
01:04:14,100 --> 01:04:16,100
be very glad. See, I got my tie

1836
01:04:16,100 --> 01:04:18,100
on for America and be very glad

1837
01:04:18,100 --> 01:04:20,100
for being in the United States

1838
01:04:20,100 --> 01:04:21,100
and being in Florida and being

1839
01:04:21,100 --> 01:04:24,100
in Monroe County because this

1840
01:04:27,100 --> 01:04:28,100
is a fantastic place. If we

1841
01:04:28,100 --> 01:04:30,100
could only just get a damn

1842
01:04:30,100 --> 01:04:32,100
baseball field done.

1843
01:04:36,100 --> 01:04:38,100
All right.

1844
01:04:39,100 --> 01:04:40,100
>> Anyway, Ed, can you just

1845
01:04:40,100 --> 01:04:41,100
thank Damali for us,

1846
01:04:41,100 --> 01:04:42,100
for the whole

1847
01:04:42,100 --> 01:04:43,100
from the whole board to him,

1848
01:04:43,100 --> 01:04:44,100
for agreeing?

1849
01:04:44,100 --> 01:04:45,100
>> I certainly will.

1850
01:04:45,100 --> 01:04:47,100
>> Thank you.

1851
01:04:47,100 --> 01:04:50,100
>> No, that's fine. Yeah, okay.

1852
01:04:57,100 --> 01:05:00,601
>> So, and open up for the,

1853
01:05:08,100 --> 01:05:09,100
workshop no,

1854
01:05:09,100 --> 01:05:10,100
it's the public hearing

1855
01:05:10,100 --> 01:05:14,201
on the, what do we call those

1856
01:05:15,100 --> 01:05:16,100
stamp things?

1857
01:05:16,100 --> 01:05:17,100
>> Policies.

1858
01:05:17,100 --> 01:05:20,100
>> The policies. Yeah, I don't

1859
01:05:21,100 --> 01:05:22,100
remember the policies. So do we

1860
01:05:22,100 --> 01:05:24,100
have anybody here to speak

1861
01:05:24,100 --> 01:05:25,100
to the policies? Ed, do you

1862
01:05:25,100 --> 01:05:27,100
want to speak

1863
01:05:27,100 --> 01:05:30,100
to the policies? Okay, good.

1864
01:05:31,100 --> 01:05:33,100
Well, I wasn't going

1865
01:05:33,100 --> 01:05:34,100
to listen this time either.

1866
01:05:34,100 --> 01:05:36,100
All right. And what

1867
01:05:36,100 --> 01:05:38,100
about board members?

1868
01:05:41,100 --> 01:05:42,100
On the policies relative

1869
01:05:42,100 --> 01:05:44,100
to policy?

1870
01:05:44,100 --> 01:05:46,100
>> It's human resource

1871
01:05:46,100 --> 01:05:48,100
policies.

1872
01:05:55,100 --> 01:05:56,100
>> Sometimes the more you say,

1873
01:05:56,100 --> 01:05:57,100
the worse it is. Okay, there's

1874
01:05:57,100 --> 01:05:59,401
nobody here to speak

1875
01:06:01,100 --> 01:06:03,100
to any policies. Okay, does

1876
01:06:03,100 --> 01:06:04,100
anybody on the board want

1877
01:06:04,100 --> 01:06:05,100
to speak to them? Does anybody

1878
01:06:05,100 --> 01:06:06,100
from the district want

1879
01:06:06,100 --> 01:06:07,100
to present anything on any

1880
01:06:07,100 --> 01:06:09,100
of them?

1881
01:06:10,100 --> 01:06:11,100
>> These are working with

1882
01:06:11,100 --> 01:06:12,100
Neola and to update policies

1883
01:06:12,100 --> 01:06:14,100
that require updating.

1884
01:06:16,100 --> 01:06:19,100
>> All right. So with that,

1885
01:06:19,100 --> 01:06:20,100
I'm going to close the hearing

1886
01:06:20,100 --> 01:06:23,100
on the policies and reconvene

1887
01:06:24,100 --> 01:06:26,100
to the board meeting. And we

1888
01:06:26,100 --> 01:06:29,100
have an action item number 1,

1889
01:06:29,100 --> 01:06:31,100
approval of the revised license

1890
01:06:31,100 --> 01:06:32,100
agreement.

1891
01:06:32,100 --> 01:06:34,100
>> I recommend the board

1892
01:06:34,100 --> 01:06:35,100
approve the revised license

1893
01:06:35,100 --> 01:06:37,100
agreement with Islamorada,

1894
01:06:37,100 --> 01:06:38,100
Village of Islands, Florida,

1895
01:06:38,100 --> 01:06:40,100
for construction

1896
01:06:40,100 --> 01:06:42,100
of a baseball field at

1897
01:06:42,100 --> 01:06:43,100
Founders Park.

1898
01:06:43,100 --> 01:06:44,100
>> So moved. Second.

1899
01:06:44,100 --> 01:06:45,100
>> Discussion?

1900
01:06:45,100 --> 01:06:48,100
>> Yes. So here's my problem.

1901
01:06:50,100 --> 01:06:52,100
We keep getting documents

1902
01:06:52,100 --> 01:06:53,100
from lawyers. Quite frankly,

1903
01:06:53,100 --> 01:06:55,100
I'm not happy with any of the

1904
01:06:55,100 --> 01:06:58,100
ones we've been receiving. I

1905
01:07:00,100 --> 01:07:02,100
don't feel like any of the

1906
01:07:02,100 --> 01:07:04,401
documents we've received are

1907
01:07:06,100 --> 01:07:08,100
protect the students,

1908
01:07:08,100 --> 01:07:10,100
the baseball team,

1909
01:07:15,100 --> 01:07:16,100
and the school district. We

1910
01:07:16,100 --> 01:07:19,100
keep arguing over money, but

1911
01:07:19,100 --> 01:07:21,100
ultimately the money we are

1912
01:07:21,100 --> 01:07:23,100
spending is not just village

1913
01:07:23,100 --> 01:07:25,401
taxpayer money, but also

1914
01:07:29,100 --> 01:07:31,100
Monroe County people money.

1915
01:07:31,100 --> 01:07:33,100
And I can't

1916
01:07:33,100 --> 01:07:35,401
In good conscience continue

1917
01:07:37,100 --> 01:07:39,100
to put money in a project where

1918
01:07:39,100 --> 01:07:41,100
I feel the village doesn't want

1919
01:07:41,100 --> 01:07:43,100
to give us the guarantees that

1920
01:07:43,100 --> 01:07:45,100
we need to spend that kind

1921
01:07:45,100 --> 01:07:48,100
of money. I love the project.

1922
01:07:48,100 --> 01:07:49,100
If it were up to me, we'd do

1923
01:07:49,100 --> 01:07:51,100
the whole project. I've said

1924
01:07:51,100 --> 01:07:53,100
this before, I wouldn't want

1925
01:07:53,100 --> 01:07:54,100
to limit it to just the

1926
01:07:54,100 --> 01:07:56,100
baseball field. I understand,

1927
01:07:56,100 --> 01:07:58,100
because we want to get this

1928
01:07:58,100 --> 01:08:00,100
done sooner rather than later.

1929
01:08:00,100 --> 01:08:01,100
That people are willing

1930
01:08:01,100 --> 01:08:03,100
to pare down the project,

1931
01:08:03,100 --> 01:08:05,100
and I'm fine with that.

1932
01:08:05,100 --> 01:08:08,100
But just because we're spending

1933
01:08:08,100 --> 01:08:10,100
$4 million instead of $6

1934
01:08:11,100 --> 01:08:12,100
million doesn't mean that we

1935
01:08:12,100 --> 01:08:13,100
can't be guaranteed that we'll

1936
01:08:13,100 --> 01:08:15,100
keep the field,

1937
01:08:15,100 --> 01:08:16,100
that we'll hold on to it,

1938
01:08:16,100 --> 01:08:18,100
that it'll be kept

1939
01:08:18,100 --> 01:08:19,100
in good repair when it's not

1940
01:08:19,100 --> 01:08:21,100
within school district time

1941
01:08:21,100 --> 01:08:24,100
of use. So for instance, the

1942
01:08:24,100 --> 01:08:26,100
village maintains ownership

1943
01:08:26,100 --> 01:08:29,100
when it's not baseball season.

1944
01:08:29,100 --> 01:08:30,100
There's no provision in there

1945
01:08:30,100 --> 01:08:33,100
for Island Morada as a village

1946
01:08:33,100 --> 01:08:36,100
to take care of the field. And

1947
01:08:36,100 --> 01:08:39,100
there's no provision in there

1948
01:08:40,100 --> 01:08:42,100
for any kind of inspection to

1949
01:08:42,100 --> 01:08:43,100
make sure that we're not

1950
01:08:43,100 --> 01:08:45,100
getting the field for our kids

1951
01:08:45,100 --> 01:08:46,100
in bad repair and then being

1952
01:08:46,100 --> 01:08:47,100
asked

1953
01:08:47,100 --> 01:08:48,100
to fix it because now it's our

1954
01:08:48,100 --> 01:08:50,100
6 months. There's a long list,

1955
01:08:50,100 --> 01:08:52,100
honestly,

1956
01:08:55,100 --> 01:08:57,100
of issues I have even

1957
01:08:57,100 --> 01:08:58,100
with the pared-down version

1958
01:08:58,100 --> 01:09:00,100
of the license agreement.

1959
01:09:00,100 --> 01:09:02,100
There's nothing I want more

1960
01:09:02,100 --> 01:09:03,100
than to give baseball exactly

1961
01:09:03,100 --> 01:09:04,100
what it needs. I'd give them

1962
01:09:04,100 --> 01:09:07,100
more if that were easy to do,

1963
01:09:07,100 --> 01:09:08,100
but I just can't. I can't agree

1964
01:09:08,100 --> 01:09:10,100
to this. What I would agree to

1965
01:09:10,100 --> 01:09:11,100
is having the village and the

1966
01:09:11,100 --> 01:09:13,100
school district sit down

1967
01:09:13,100 --> 01:09:15,100
in a meeting

1968
01:09:16,100 --> 01:09:19,100
in the sunshine so that.

1969
01:09:19,100 --> 01:09:21,100
Everybody's talking

1970
01:09:23,100 --> 01:09:26,100
to one another, and it's not

1971
01:09:26,100 --> 01:09:28,100
lawyers throwing agreements

1972
01:09:28,100 --> 01:09:31,100
at each other, because that's

1973
01:09:32,100 --> 01:09:34,100
the way I feel it is right now.

1974
01:09:34,100 --> 01:09:36,100
I know our lawyer takes a lot

1975
01:09:36,100 --> 01:09:37,100
of input from all of us, but he

1976
01:09:37,100 --> 01:09:38,100
can't put everybody's input

1977
01:09:38,100 --> 01:09:40,100
in the agreement,

1978
01:09:41,100 --> 01:09:43,100
and I'm sure it's the same

1979
01:09:43,100 --> 01:09:46,100
thing for the village lawyer.

1980
01:09:46,100 --> 01:09:48,100
So my preference is there would

1981
01:09:48,100 --> 01:09:49,100
be a joint meeting. We could

1982
01:09:49,100 --> 01:09:50,100
come

1983
01:09:50,100 --> 01:09:52,100
to some agreement. I will say,

1984
01:09:52,100 --> 01:09:54,100
as far as Baseball is

1985
01:09:54,100 --> 01:09:56,100
concerned. I went

1986
01:09:56,100 --> 01:09:57,100
to the construction meeting

1987
01:09:57,100 --> 01:09:58,100
on Monday, and it shouldn't

1988
01:09:58,100 --> 01:10:00,401
take less than three

1989
01:10:04,100 --> 01:10:06,100
months

1990
01:10:06,100 --> 01:10:07,100
to get the turf field in. So

1991
01:10:07,100 --> 01:10:09,100
there's no reason why, even if

1992
01:10:09,100 --> 01:10:10,100
the fencing wasn't done and the

1993
01:10:10,100 --> 01:10:11,100
dugouts weren't finished,

1994
01:10:11,100 --> 01:10:14,100
they couldn't have a great

1995
01:10:17,100 --> 01:10:18,100
field to play on

1996
01:10:18,100 --> 01:10:20,100
for this upcoming season.

1997
01:10:20,100 --> 01:10:21,100
But I can't throw money

1998
01:10:21,100 --> 01:10:23,100
at a project. without having a

1999
01:10:23,100 --> 01:10:25,401
license agreement that I'm

2000
01:10:26,100 --> 01:10:28,401
comfortable with. And so

2001
01:10:30,100 --> 01:10:32,100
for me, I'd love to amend the

2002
01:10:32,100 --> 01:10:33,100
action item agenda,

2003
01:10:33,100 --> 01:10:35,100
and I'm not sure how we would

2004
01:10:35,100 --> 01:10:38,601
do that, but I'd like it

2005
01:10:39,100 --> 01:10:41,100
to be us agreeing to meet

2006
01:10:41,100 --> 01:10:42,100
with the village, and then the

2007
01:10:42,100 --> 01:10:44,100
village can hopefully have

2008
01:10:44,100 --> 01:10:45,100
something

2009
01:10:45,100 --> 01:10:47,100
on their next agenda, and we

2010
01:10:47,100 --> 01:10:48,100
can do something as quickly

2011
01:10:48,100 --> 01:10:50,100
afterwards as possible. So I am

2012
01:10:50,100 --> 01:10:53,601
not going to, vote for this

2013
01:10:56,100 --> 01:10:57,100
license agreement as it

2014
01:10:57,100 --> 01:10:59,100
currently stands,

2015
01:10:59,100 --> 01:11:02,100
and I'm not going to change

2016
01:11:02,100 --> 01:11:03,100
what I believe again just to

2017
01:11:03,100 --> 01:11:05,100
give the village something else

2018
01:11:05,100 --> 01:11:08,100
to change. So I'm going

2019
01:11:08,100 --> 01:11:10,100
to be a no vote.

2020
01:11:10,100 --> 01:11:13,100
>> Board Member Conn, if you

2021
01:11:13,100 --> 01:11:14,100
want

2022
01:11:14,100 --> 01:11:15,100
to offer a friendly amendment

2023
01:11:15,100 --> 01:11:16,100
after everyone has a chance

2024
01:11:16,100 --> 01:11:17,100
to talk. That's the time

2025
01:11:17,100 --> 01:11:18,100
to do it.

2026
01:11:18,100 --> 01:11:20,100
>> Thank you.

2027
01:11:23,100 --> 01:11:24,100
>> Then I'm done.

2028
01:11:24,100 --> 01:11:25,100
>> I would

2029
01:11:25,100 --> 01:11:26,100
like nothing more than

2030
01:11:26,100 --> 01:11:27,100
to pass this today, but

2031
01:11:27,100 --> 01:11:28,100
for me, there's, you know, as

2032
01:11:28,100 --> 01:11:30,100
Mrs. Conn mentioned,

2033
01:11:31,100 --> 01:11:32,100
we are responsible

2034
01:11:32,100 --> 01:11:33,100
for taxpayer dollars,

2035
01:11:33,100 --> 01:11:34,100
and they're all of Monroe

2036
01:11:34,100 --> 01:11:35,100
County's taxpayer dollars. It

2037
01:11:35,100 --> 01:11:36,100
isn't just, you know, limited

2038
01:11:36,100 --> 01:11:37,100
residents whose money we're

2039
01:11:37,100 --> 01:11:39,100
spending. So for me, I would

2040
01:11:39,100 --> 01:11:40,100
like to see one that agreement

2041
01:11:40,100 --> 01:11:41,100
changed to at least five years

2042
01:11:41,100 --> 01:11:43,100
because it's hard

2043
01:11:44,100 --> 01:11:46,100
to invest four million dollars

2044
01:11:46,100 --> 01:11:47,100
with the possibility that we're

2045
01:11:47,100 --> 01:11:49,100
gone in three. And secondly,

2046
01:11:49,100 --> 01:11:52,100
I'd like to see the

2047
01:11:52,100 --> 01:11:53,100
amortization schedule equal

2048
01:11:53,100 --> 01:11:55,401
with the the lifetime

2049
01:11:57,100 --> 01:11:59,100
of the turf. I mean,

2050
01:11:59,100 --> 01:12:00,100
if we're still left

2051
01:12:00,100 --> 01:12:02,100
with you know valuable time,

2052
01:12:02,100 --> 01:12:04,100
then that has value. So

2053
01:12:04,100 --> 01:12:06,100
to me,

2054
01:12:06,100 --> 01:12:07,100
we're still leaving money

2055
01:12:07,100 --> 01:12:09,100
on the table at the end

2056
01:12:09,100 --> 01:12:11,100
of eight years. And we're asked

2057
01:12:11,100 --> 01:12:13,100
to leave, we're still putting

2058
01:12:13,100 --> 01:12:14,100
taxpayer dollars out without

2059
01:12:14,100 --> 01:12:15,100
any guarantee that our kids can

2060
01:12:15,100 --> 01:12:18,100
still use it. So if, you know,

2061
01:12:18,100 --> 01:12:20,100
the board is willing

2062
01:12:20,100 --> 01:12:22,100
to amend that item

2063
01:12:22,100 --> 01:12:24,100
with those provisions for me,

2064
01:12:24,100 --> 01:12:25,100
that seems to work. My last

2065
01:12:25,100 --> 01:12:26,100
concern I did find, which was

2066
01:12:26,100 --> 01:12:27,100
at the end of the lifespan

2067
01:12:27,100 --> 01:12:28,100
of the turf,

2068
01:12:28,100 --> 01:12:30,100
the maintenance part of it,

2069
01:12:30,100 --> 01:12:31,100
I just want

2070
01:12:31,100 --> 01:12:32,100
to make sure that we're going

2071
01:12:32,100 --> 01:12:33,100
to have to come back

2072
01:12:33,100 --> 01:12:34,100
in and redo the turf and The

2073
01:12:34,100 --> 01:12:36,100
whatever repairs Doug I may

2074
01:12:36,100 --> 01:12:37,100
need, which could be

2075
01:12:37,100 --> 01:12:38,100
in the millions again

2076
01:12:38,100 --> 01:12:39,100
since we're spending four

2077
01:12:39,100 --> 01:12:40,100
in you know 2026. Lord knows

2078
01:12:40,100 --> 01:12:42,100
where it'll be in ten or

2079
01:12:42,100 --> 01:12:43,100
fifteen more years. I just want

2080
01:12:43,100 --> 01:12:44,100
to make sure that there's a

2081
01:12:44,100 --> 01:12:46,100
provision in there that we will

2082
01:12:46,100 --> 01:12:47,100
revisit the negotiation

2083
01:12:47,100 --> 01:12:48,100
for an amortization schedule

2084
01:12:48,100 --> 01:12:49,100
for the money we invest. You

2085
01:12:49,100 --> 01:12:51,401
know, ten, fifteen years

2086
01:12:53,100 --> 01:12:54,100
from now when it's time to do

2087
01:12:54,100 --> 01:12:55,100
those improvements. I just want

2088
01:12:55,100 --> 01:12:57,100
to make sure that we are good

2089
01:12:57,100 --> 01:12:58,100
shepherds

2090
01:12:58,100 --> 01:12:59,100
of taxpayer dollars. That's

2091
01:12:59,100 --> 01:13:01,100
all. And believe me, more than

2092
01:13:01,100 --> 01:13:04,100
anything, all I would like

2093
01:13:04,100 --> 01:13:05,100
to do is to give those kids.

2094
01:13:05,100 --> 01:13:06,100
Exactly what they deserve, and

2095
01:13:06,100 --> 01:13:07,100
for me, there's no kid.

2096
01:13:07,100 --> 01:13:08,100
Doesn't matter where the child

2097
01:13:08,100 --> 01:13:09,100
is, which school they attend. I

2098
01:13:09,100 --> 01:13:11,100
want every kid to have the best

2099
01:13:11,100 --> 01:13:13,100
that we can possibly provide

2100
01:13:13,100 --> 01:13:14,100
for them, and I think we all

2101
01:13:14,100 --> 01:13:15,100
want the same thing. So let's

2102
01:13:15,100 --> 01:13:17,100
just find a way

2103
01:13:17,100 --> 01:13:19,100
to make it happen.

2104
01:13:19,100 --> 01:13:21,100
>> So you know we keep we we

2105
01:13:21,100 --> 01:13:22,100
were told today that the

2106
01:13:22,100 --> 01:13:25,100
easiest thing is for us

2107
01:13:26,100 --> 01:13:28,100
to just. Agree

2108
01:13:30,100 --> 01:13:33,100
to the 5-0 license agreement

2109
01:13:35,100 --> 01:13:36,100
from the village,

2110
01:13:36,100 --> 01:13:39,100
and that agreement was written

2111
01:13:39,100 --> 01:13:41,100
without any input

2112
01:13:42,100 --> 01:13:44,100
from the school district. So

2113
01:13:44,100 --> 01:13:45,100
when that was approved in

2114
01:13:45,100 --> 01:13:47,100
January, I believe, I felt that

2115
01:13:47,100 --> 01:13:50,601
that was the opening salvo for.

2116
01:13:53,100 --> 01:13:55,100
Negotiating. Since that time,

2117
01:13:55,100 --> 01:13:57,100
the relationship

2118
01:14:01,100 --> 01:14:03,401
from what I've seen,

2119
01:14:04,100 --> 01:14:06,100
the perceived relationship

2120
01:14:10,100 --> 01:14:11,100
of the school board and the

2121
01:14:11,100 --> 01:14:13,100
Village of Islamorada has gone

2122
01:14:13,100 --> 01:14:15,100
from being co-partners, 2

2123
01:14:15,100 --> 01:14:16,100
government agencies working

2124
01:14:16,100 --> 01:14:18,100
together through an ILA

2125
01:14:18,100 --> 01:14:19,100
for a responsible use

2126
01:14:19,100 --> 01:14:20,100
of tax dollars to the good

2127
01:14:20,100 --> 01:14:22,100
of everyone in the community to

2128
01:14:22,100 --> 01:14:24,100
we're the renters and they're

2129
01:14:24,100 --> 01:14:26,100
the landlords and we should

2130
01:14:26,100 --> 01:14:29,601
just agree to the 5-0 vote

2131
01:14:30,100 --> 01:14:32,100
because we're renters. We're

2132
01:14:32,100 --> 01:14:33,100
not renters. We are 2

2133
01:14:33,100 --> 01:14:36,100
government agencies. So some of

2134
01:14:47,100 --> 01:14:48,100
the confusion when we had our

2135
01:14:48,100 --> 01:14:50,401
retreat when was that,

2136
01:14:51,100 --> 01:14:54,100
February? and we went line

2137
01:14:55,100 --> 01:14:56,100
by line

2138
01:14:56,100 --> 01:14:57,100
through the document and came

2139
01:14:57,100 --> 01:14:58,100
up with what would be our

2140
01:14:58,100 --> 01:15:00,100
return salvo

2141
01:15:02,100 --> 01:15:05,100
on the negotiation, you know,

2142
01:15:07,100 --> 01:15:09,100
it was like, we're not going

2143
01:15:09,100 --> 01:15:10,100
to listen to any

2144
01:15:10,100 --> 01:15:12,100
of those things. We're going

2145
01:15:12,100 --> 01:15:13,100
to go back to the 5.0. And even

2146
01:15:13,100 --> 01:15:14,100
today Right. You know,

2147
01:15:14,100 --> 01:15:16,100
we're being told that they want

2148
01:15:16,100 --> 01:15:17,100
to go back

2149
01:15:17,100 --> 01:15:19,100
to the 5-0. I mean, this is

2150
01:15:19,100 --> 01:15:20,100
for ultimately maybe $8 million

2151
01:15:20,100 --> 01:15:22,100
that the school district is

2152
01:15:22,100 --> 01:15:23,100
going to invest on a piece

2153
01:15:23,100 --> 01:15:25,100
of property that, you know,

2154
01:15:25,100 --> 01:15:29,100
we have an ILA that just from a

2155
01:15:29,100 --> 01:15:33,100
year or so ago saying that as

2156
01:15:33,100 --> 01:15:34,100
long as we all cooperate,

2157
01:15:34,100 --> 01:15:36,100
we can use it for 40 years.

2158
01:15:36,100 --> 01:15:38,100
But now we're being told that,

2159
01:15:38,100 --> 01:15:40,100
you know,

2160
01:15:49,100 --> 01:15:50,100
it's their way or the highway,

2161
01:15:50,100 --> 01:15:51,100
that we can get kicked out

2162
01:15:51,100 --> 01:15:52,100
at different times, that

2163
01:15:52,100 --> 01:15:54,100
there's an amortization that

2164
01:15:54,100 --> 01:15:56,100
goes to zero when there is

2165
01:15:56,100 --> 01:15:58,100
still tremendous value

2166
01:15:58,100 --> 01:15:59,100
in the field. And, you know,

2167
01:15:59,100 --> 01:16:00,100
I'd like

2168
01:16:00,100 --> 01:16:03,601
to just sit here and talk

2169
01:16:04,100 --> 01:16:06,100
about the kids. I would like

2170
01:16:06,100 --> 01:16:08,100
to just Do the field. I would

2171
01:16:08,100 --> 01:16:09,100
like to move forward

2172
01:16:09,100 --> 01:16:10,100
with that,

2173
01:16:10,100 --> 01:16:12,100
and I would be willing

2174
01:16:12,100 --> 01:16:13,100
to follow, Ms. Talbott's

2175
01:16:13,100 --> 01:16:15,100
amendments

2176
01:16:15,100 --> 01:16:17,100
to bringing a return salvo

2177
01:16:17,100 --> 01:16:19,100
to the Village Council

2178
01:16:19,100 --> 01:16:21,100
for real consideration. And we

2179
01:16:21,100 --> 01:16:24,100
have not yet heard what the

2180
01:16:24,100 --> 01:16:26,100
disagreements from the

2181
01:16:26,100 --> 01:16:28,100
Village Council are

2182
01:16:28,100 --> 01:16:30,100
with our terms. We've only

2183
01:16:30,100 --> 01:16:33,100
heard that they don't want them

2184
01:16:33,100 --> 01:16:34,100
at all. And so I would

2185
01:16:34,100 --> 01:16:36,100
like I would like

2186
01:16:36,100 --> 01:16:37,100
to I would be willing to vote

2187
01:16:37,100 --> 01:16:39,100
for those amendments

2188
01:16:42,100 --> 01:16:44,401
to this licensing agreement

2189
01:16:45,100 --> 01:16:47,100
with the understanding then

2190
01:16:47,100 --> 01:16:49,100
that if there was not an

2191
01:16:49,100 --> 01:16:51,100
agreement to That document that

2192
01:16:51,100 --> 01:16:54,601
we could have, as Ms. Conn

2193
01:16:55,100 --> 01:16:57,100
said,

2194
01:16:59,100 --> 01:17:01,401
a very structured meeting

2195
01:17:02,100 --> 01:17:03,100
to vote on the areas where

2196
01:17:03,100 --> 01:17:05,100
there's differences.

2197
01:17:18,100 --> 01:17:19,100
But I don't want to come back

2198
01:17:19,100 --> 01:17:20,100
for a meeting

2199
01:17:20,100 --> 01:17:21,100
after we've said what we want

2200
01:17:21,100 --> 01:17:22,100
with an idea of we just want

2201
01:17:22,100 --> 01:17:23,100
the 5-0 because there's no

2202
01:17:23,100 --> 01:17:24,100
reason for us to go

2203
01:17:24,100 --> 01:17:26,100
to that meeting.

2204
01:17:28,100 --> 01:17:29,100
We need

2205
01:17:29,100 --> 01:17:30,100
to know that there's going

2206
01:17:30,100 --> 01:17:32,100
to be negotiation between 2

2207
01:17:32,100 --> 01:17:33,100
governing bodies. I mean,

2208
01:17:33,100 --> 01:17:34,100
we're I love Founders Park and

2209
01:17:34,100 --> 01:17:38,100
I and that baseball field is a

2210
01:17:38,100 --> 01:17:40,100
bit

2211
01:17:41,100 --> 01:17:43,100
of an embarrassment right now.

2212
01:17:43,100 --> 01:17:44,100
And we're willing

2213
01:17:44,100 --> 01:17:45,100
to make it fantastic.

2214
01:17:45,100 --> 01:17:46,100
But it has

2215
01:17:46,100 --> 01:17:48,100
to be a joint effort. It has

2216
01:17:48,100 --> 01:17:51,100
to be in the spirit

2217
01:17:52,100 --> 01:17:55,100
of the ILA, which is that we

2218
01:17:55,100 --> 01:17:57,000
are equal bodies working

2219
01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:58,100
together. You have the land; we

2220
01:17:58,100 --> 01:18:00,100
have the money. We're going

2221
01:18:00,100 --> 01:18:01,100
to do something really great

2222
01:18:01,100 --> 01:18:02,100
for the community. That's what

2223
01:18:02,100 --> 01:18:03,100
it's been

2224
01:18:03,100 --> 01:18:04,100
from the very beginning, and I

2225
01:18:04,100 --> 01:18:06,100
don't know where the hookups

2226
01:18:06,100 --> 01:18:08,100
have all gotten. And if, and

2227
01:18:08,100 --> 01:18:09,100
honestly, I I really wish we

2228
01:18:09,100 --> 01:18:12,100
could just get it negotiated

2229
01:18:13,100 --> 01:18:14,100
the way the ILA lays it out.

2230
01:18:14,100 --> 01:18:16,100
That it is. supposed to be

2231
01:18:16,100 --> 01:18:18,100
between the superintendent and

2232
01:18:18,100 --> 01:18:20,100
the village manager, but it

2233
01:18:20,100 --> 01:18:21,100
appears that we get no

2234
01:18:21,100 --> 01:18:22,100
feedback. We put out our salvo

2235
01:18:22,100 --> 01:18:24,100
and then we just hear, no,

2236
01:18:24,100 --> 01:18:25,100
we don't want that. We don't

2237
01:18:25,100 --> 01:18:26,100
hear why we don't why these

2238
01:18:26,100 --> 01:18:28,100
things are not good,

2239
01:18:28,100 --> 01:18:30,100
which things you might be able

2240
01:18:30,100 --> 01:18:31,100
to work on, which are not. So

2241
01:18:31,100 --> 01:18:34,100
anyway, that's where I am.

2242
01:18:40,100 --> 01:18:42,100
>> Well, originally we as The

2243
01:18:42,100 --> 01:18:43,100
plans were we were going to

2244
01:18:43,100 --> 01:18:44,100
build the whole stadium and

2245
01:18:44,100 --> 01:18:45,100
press box, and because of the

2246
01:18:45,100 --> 01:18:47,100
bickering back and forth and

2247
01:18:47,100 --> 01:18:49,100
the time schedule

2248
01:18:49,100 --> 01:18:50,100
to get it done in time

2249
01:18:50,100 --> 01:18:52,100
for baseball season,

2250
01:18:52,100 --> 01:18:54,100
it's now pared down. And if we

2251
01:18:54,100 --> 01:18:55,100
stall it even further,

2252
01:18:55,100 --> 01:18:56,100
we're going

2253
01:18:56,100 --> 01:18:59,601
to miss that opportunity. And I

2254
01:19:00,100 --> 01:19:02,100
personally am willing

2255
01:19:05,100 --> 01:19:07,100
to go forward

2256
01:19:08,100 --> 01:19:10,100
on this tonight. And approve it

2257
01:19:10,100 --> 01:19:13,100
with their changes. Again, I

2258
01:19:13,100 --> 01:19:14,100
think people can't understand

2259
01:19:14,100 --> 01:19:15,100
why anybody would think we

2260
01:19:15,100 --> 01:19:16,100
would spend money and not have

2261
01:19:16,100 --> 01:19:18,100
some guarantee that we'd be

2262
01:19:18,100 --> 01:19:20,100
there. I mean,

2263
01:19:20,100 --> 01:19:21,100
it just how could I do it? I

2264
01:19:21,100 --> 01:19:24,100
mean, it's just crazy. So

2265
01:19:24,100 --> 01:19:26,100
that's our problem has been

2266
01:19:26,100 --> 01:19:29,100
that all along. And I think if

2267
01:19:29,100 --> 01:19:31,100
we Dirk give us the right

2268
01:19:31,100 --> 01:19:34,100
language on that. What we want

2269
01:19:34,100 --> 01:19:36,100
is I mean, I want more than 8

2270
01:19:36,100 --> 01:19:37,100
years. I gotta tell you,

2271
01:19:37,100 --> 01:19:38,100
I'm looking for 15 or 20. You

2272
01:19:38,100 --> 01:19:40,100
know, I mean, we're gonna

2273
01:19:40,100 --> 01:19:42,100
baseball's gonna be around.

2274
01:19:42,100 --> 01:19:43,100
It's gonna be around. You're

2275
01:19:43,100 --> 01:19:45,100
gonna have a team, and that's

2276
01:19:45,100 --> 01:19:46,100
where they're gonna play.

2277
01:19:46,100 --> 01:19:47,100
Again, we've been looking, you

2278
01:19:47,100 --> 01:19:50,601
know, as this thing became more

2279
01:19:52,100 --> 01:19:53,100
and more of a problem,

2280
01:19:53,100 --> 01:19:54,100
we've been looking

2281
01:19:54,100 --> 01:19:55,100
for alternative places

2282
01:19:55,100 --> 01:19:56,100
to do it. There's really not a

2283
01:19:56,100 --> 01:19:57,100
lot of choices around here.

2284
01:19:57,100 --> 01:19:59,100
What about the Mets? So, you

2285
01:19:59,100 --> 01:20:01,100
know, you're going

2286
01:20:01,100 --> 01:20:04,100
to put them really into a big

2287
01:20:04,100 --> 01:20:05,100
bind or we'd wind up doing

2288
01:20:05,100 --> 01:20:06,100
something

2289
01:20:06,100 --> 01:20:08,100
in the back and it's not going

2290
01:20:08,100 --> 01:20:09,100
to be as good as somebody's

2291
01:20:09,100 --> 01:20:10,100
going to get hurt in it,

2292
01:20:10,100 --> 01:20:11,100
meaning the track will lose

2293
01:20:11,100 --> 01:20:12,100
something or somebody's going

2294
01:20:12,100 --> 01:20:13,100
to lose some or everybody's

2295
01:20:13,100 --> 01:20:14,100
going to lose a little bit to

2296
01:20:14,100 --> 01:20:16,100
the different sports we put

2297
01:20:16,100 --> 01:20:17,100
back there. So really we need

2298
01:20:17,100 --> 01:20:19,100
to get this in Founders Park

2299
01:20:19,100 --> 01:20:21,100
and we need to, you know,

2300
01:20:21,100 --> 01:20:23,100
scheduling a joint meeting,

2301
01:20:23,100 --> 01:20:25,100
you know, could be a problem,

2302
01:20:25,100 --> 01:20:27,100
could take time,

2303
01:20:27,100 --> 01:20:29,100
people are away. If we could

2304
01:20:29,100 --> 01:20:31,100
get them to approve that they

2305
01:20:31,100 --> 01:20:33,401
don't throw us out

2306
01:20:34,100 --> 01:20:35,100
of that place,

2307
01:20:35,100 --> 01:20:38,100
we'll spend the money. We'll

2308
01:20:39,100 --> 01:20:41,100
spend the money as soon as

2309
01:20:41,100 --> 01:20:43,100
possible and get this thing

2310
01:20:43,100 --> 01:20:45,100
done. But, you know,

2311
01:20:45,100 --> 01:20:47,401
realistically, I cannot approve

2312
01:20:48,100 --> 01:20:50,100
that we will spend that money

2313
01:20:50,100 --> 01:20:52,100
with the possibility that we'd

2314
01:20:52,100 --> 01:20:54,100
be thrown out. Now, you know,

2315
01:20:54,100 --> 01:20:56,100
and even the council members

2316
01:20:56,100 --> 01:20:58,100
and the board members. First

2317
01:20:58,100 --> 01:21:00,100
of all, I'm going

2318
01:21:00,100 --> 01:21:02,100
to be unemployed in a couple

2319
01:21:02,100 --> 01:21:03,100
of months, so I'm going

2320
01:21:03,100 --> 01:21:05,100
to join these 2 characters.

2321
01:21:05,100 --> 01:21:08,100
So, you know, but anyway,

2322
01:21:08,100 --> 01:21:11,100
but and the Isla Morada board

2323
01:21:11,100 --> 01:21:13,100
is going to be different. This

2324
01:21:13,100 --> 01:21:15,100
board is going

2325
01:21:15,100 --> 01:21:17,100
to be different. So we really

2326
01:21:17,100 --> 01:21:18,100
need to protect the school

2327
01:21:18,100 --> 01:21:19,100
district and the taxpayers'

2328
01:21:19,100 --> 01:21:22,100
money. Mr. Mayor, Because it's

2329
01:21:24,100 --> 01:21:26,100
money. Yes, some

2330
01:21:26,100 --> 01:21:27,100
of it's coming out of Isle of

2331
01:21:27,100 --> 01:21:29,100
Marada taxpayers. A lot more is

2332
01:21:29,100 --> 01:21:30,100
coming out of other areas. So

2333
01:21:30,100 --> 01:21:31,100
but that's the way it is. We

2334
01:21:31,100 --> 01:21:32,100
want to get this thing done.

2335
01:21:32,100 --> 01:21:35,100
And so I would like if Dirk you

2336
01:21:35,100 --> 01:21:37,100
could give something that would

2337
01:21:37,100 --> 01:21:38,100
satisfy Miss Talbott and Miss

2338
01:21:38,100 --> 01:21:41,100
Conn as best we can and Miss

2339
01:21:41,100 --> 01:21:44,100
Dr. I would send that

2340
01:21:44,100 --> 01:21:46,100
to them. Let everybody know. I

2341
01:21:46,100 --> 01:21:49,100
don't know what they're saying,

2342
01:21:51,100 --> 01:21:52,100
why we're what we're doing

2343
01:21:52,100 --> 01:21:53,100
that's holding it up. Let's let

2344
01:21:53,100 --> 01:21:54,100
everybody know it's because we

2345
01:21:54,100 --> 01:21:55,100
want proof that we'll stay

2346
01:21:55,100 --> 01:21:57,100
there. That's it. That's all it

2347
01:21:57,100 --> 01:21:59,100
is to me.

2348
01:22:04,100 --> 01:22:06,100
>> I have a list that's a bit

2349
01:22:06,100 --> 01:22:09,100
longer than Mrs. Talbott's, and

2350
01:22:09,100 --> 01:22:12,601
my issues are with I'm okay

2351
01:22:13,100 --> 01:22:15,100
with the 10 years and the

2352
01:22:15,100 --> 01:22:17,100
decline. My issue is with the

2353
01:22:17,100 --> 01:22:19,100
material breach because that

2354
01:22:19,100 --> 01:22:21,100
breach only applies to us. It

2355
01:22:21,100 --> 01:22:22,100
doesn't apply to the village.

2356
01:22:22,100 --> 01:22:24,100
They want final input

2357
01:22:24,100 --> 01:22:26,100
pre-design,

2358
01:22:27,100 --> 01:22:29,100
which I'm totally happy

2359
01:22:29,100 --> 01:22:32,100
to do, but once we have a final

2360
01:22:32,100 --> 01:22:34,100
design, I'm not willing

2361
01:22:34,100 --> 01:22:36,100
to change it. The 2 the 3-year

2362
01:22:36,100 --> 01:22:38,100
termination notice, even if 5

2363
01:22:38,100 --> 01:22:39,100
years doesn't satisfy me.

2364
01:22:39,100 --> 01:22:41,401
Because we're looking at 10

2365
01:22:44,100 --> 01:22:45,100
years for a turf field and more

2366
01:22:45,100 --> 01:22:46,100
than that

2367
01:22:46,100 --> 01:22:48,100
for the other things. They want

2368
01:22:48,100 --> 01:22:51,100
the right to approve the

2369
01:22:51,100 --> 01:22:53,100
contractor even though the

2370
01:22:53,100 --> 01:22:55,100
contractor is insured,

2371
01:22:57,100 --> 01:22:58,100
is allowed under school

2372
01:22:58,100 --> 01:22:59,100
district and government

2373
01:22:59,100 --> 01:23:02,100
requirements, and then only if

2374
01:23:02,100 --> 01:23:04,100
their withdrawal is

2375
01:23:05,100 --> 01:23:06,100
unreasonable but it doesn't say

2376
01:23:06,100 --> 01:23:09,100
what unreasonable is. So is

2377
01:23:10,100 --> 01:23:12,100
unreasonable we shouldn't have

2378
01:23:12,100 --> 01:23:13,100
a Key West company building

2379
01:23:13,100 --> 01:23:15,100
something in the Upper Keys?

2380
01:23:15,100 --> 01:23:17,401
That could be unreasonable.

2381
01:23:18,100 --> 01:23:19,100
That's language that's

2382
01:23:19,100 --> 01:23:21,100
in this license agreement.

2383
01:23:21,100 --> 01:23:23,100
There's no provision

2384
01:23:23,100 --> 01:23:24,100
for inspection at all

2385
01:23:24,100 --> 01:23:26,100
at the end of the village use

2386
01:23:26,100 --> 01:23:28,401
before We take it

2387
01:23:31,100 --> 01:23:32,100
on as a baseball field,

2388
01:23:32,100 --> 01:23:34,100
and I'd be happy

2389
01:23:34,100 --> 01:23:35,100
to have that provision apply

2390
01:23:35,100 --> 01:23:36,100
to us as well,

2391
01:23:36,100 --> 01:23:38,100
but there's nothing in there

2392
01:23:38,100 --> 01:23:40,100
about that either. And I'm

2393
01:23:40,100 --> 01:23:42,100
super nervous about

2394
01:23:43,100 --> 01:23:46,100
on the fly here today coming up

2395
01:23:46,100 --> 01:23:47,100
with a new agreement that we

2396
01:23:47,100 --> 01:23:50,100
all agree on and sending it

2397
01:23:50,100 --> 01:23:51,100
to the village again

2398
01:23:51,100 --> 01:23:53,100
to either agree or disagree.

2399
01:23:53,100 --> 01:23:54,100
And if we don't propose right

2400
01:23:54,100 --> 01:23:55,100
now and make an agreement as a

2401
01:23:55,100 --> 01:23:56,100
board here today saying

2402
01:23:56,100 --> 01:23:58,100
to them that we are willing

2403
01:23:58,100 --> 01:23:59,100
to meet, then they don't have

2404
01:23:59,100 --> 01:24:01,401
to make that decision

2405
01:24:02,100 --> 01:24:03,100
at their next meeting. And

2406
01:24:03,100 --> 01:24:04,100
that's what's going

2407
01:24:04,100 --> 01:24:06,100
to postpone. Because if

2408
01:24:06,100 --> 01:24:08,100
at their next meeting they look

2409
01:24:08,100 --> 01:24:09,100
at the changes we want

2410
01:24:09,100 --> 01:24:10,100
to make and say, I

2411
01:24:10,100 --> 01:24:12,100
like this one, I don't

2412
01:24:12,100 --> 01:24:14,100
like that one, I'm not willing

2413
01:24:14,100 --> 01:24:16,100
to change anything,

2414
01:24:19,100 --> 01:24:21,100
we are back at square one. And

2415
01:24:21,100 --> 01:24:22,100
that has been my issue all

2416
01:24:22,100 --> 01:24:24,100
along.

2417
01:24:26,100 --> 01:24:27,100
What's been happening is

2418
01:24:27,100 --> 01:24:28,100
that we keep giving them

2419
01:24:28,100 --> 01:24:30,100
things. We're like,

2420
01:24:30,100 --> 01:24:31,100
this is our final best,

2421
01:24:31,100 --> 01:24:32,100
and they keep saying no, and

2422
01:24:32,100 --> 01:24:34,100
then we come back and rewrite

2423
01:24:34,100 --> 01:24:36,100
everything. I'm not doing that

2424
01:24:36,100 --> 01:24:37,100
anymore. I'm not going

2425
01:24:37,100 --> 01:24:38,100
to change the agreement

2426
01:24:38,100 --> 01:24:40,100
on the fly,

2427
01:24:40,100 --> 01:24:42,100
and the only way I'm going to

2428
01:24:42,100 --> 01:24:44,100
pass something is if we are

2429
01:24:44,100 --> 01:24:45,100
going to agree to meet

2430
01:24:45,100 --> 01:24:47,100
with them because it needs

2431
01:24:47,100 --> 01:24:49,100
to be in the sunshine. The

2432
01:24:49,100 --> 01:24:51,401
discussion between the board

2433
01:24:52,100 --> 01:24:54,100
and the village needs to happen

2434
01:24:54,100 --> 01:24:56,100
so everybody can hear what

2435
01:24:56,100 --> 01:24:57,100
everybody's saying. And even if

2436
01:24:57,100 --> 01:24:58,100
I 100% had the belief that

2437
01:24:58,100 --> 01:25:01,100
everybody on this current board

2438
01:25:01,100 --> 01:25:04,100
was never going to do any

2439
01:25:04,100 --> 01:25:06,100
of these things to us,

2440
01:25:06,100 --> 01:25:07,100
the board changes every 2

2441
01:25:07,100 --> 01:25:08,100
years.

2442
01:25:08,100 --> 01:25:10,100
>> Doesn't matter.

2443
01:25:10,100 --> 01:25:12,100
>> And 2 years is not enough

2444
01:25:12,100 --> 01:25:14,100
of a guarantee for me to put

2445
01:25:14,100 --> 01:25:15,100
$4 million taxpayer money

2446
01:25:15,100 --> 01:25:16,100
in a project. And I also don't

2447
01:25:16,100 --> 01:25:19,100
think we should pass a GMP

2448
01:25:19,100 --> 01:25:21,401
without a license agreement.

2449
01:25:22,100 --> 01:25:24,100
So I'm going to be the very, I

2450
01:25:24,100 --> 01:25:26,401
guess, hated one tonight,

2451
01:25:27,100 --> 01:25:29,100
but I'm no

2452
01:25:29,100 --> 01:25:30,100
on everything unless it's to

2453
01:25:30,100 --> 01:25:32,100
have a meeting where we have a

2454
01:25:32,100 --> 01:25:33,100
very specific agenda

2455
01:25:33,100 --> 01:25:35,100
on a very specific project.

2456
01:25:35,100 --> 01:25:36,100
That's certainly something we

2457
01:25:36,100 --> 01:25:37,100
should be able to agree upon

2458
01:25:37,100 --> 01:25:39,401
at the very least.

2459
01:25:40,100 --> 01:25:41,100
before a joint meeting, but

2460
01:25:41,100 --> 01:25:42,100
that's where my votes are

2461
01:25:42,100 --> 01:25:44,100
going.

2462
01:25:52,100 --> 01:25:53,100
>> Is it possible to wait,

2463
01:25:53,100 --> 01:25:55,100
I'm sorry. Is it possible if

2464
01:25:55,100 --> 01:25:56,100
you were talking about going

2465
01:25:56,100 --> 01:25:59,100
to 5 years, but to go to 10

2466
01:25:59,100 --> 01:26:00,100
years if we make amendments

2467
01:26:00,100 --> 01:26:03,100
here? Yvette, would you if

2468
01:26:03,100 --> 01:26:05,401
we're making a Sending

2469
01:26:07,100 --> 01:26:09,100
something over that could

2470
01:26:09,100 --> 01:26:10,100
potentially be approved. I

2471
01:26:10,100 --> 01:26:12,401
think hearing John, 10 years

2472
01:26:13,100 --> 01:26:15,100
would be what he would want.

2473
01:26:15,100 --> 01:26:16,100
We believe that the field is

2474
01:26:16,100 --> 01:26:18,100
going to be still valuable at

2475
01:26:18,100 --> 01:26:20,100
10 years. So

2476
01:26:20,100 --> 01:26:22,100
without a major breach

2477
01:26:22,100 --> 01:26:24,100
of some kind,

2478
01:26:24,100 --> 01:26:26,100
that we would be able to stay

2479
01:26:26,100 --> 01:26:27,100
in the, you know, guaranteed

2480
01:26:27,100 --> 01:26:29,100
to staying in the field and

2481
01:26:29,100 --> 01:26:30,100
for 10 years and then a you

2482
01:26:30,100 --> 01:26:32,100
know, as I don't even know how

2483
01:26:32,100 --> 01:26:34,100
to say that,

2484
01:26:34,100 --> 01:26:36,100
but that's what

2485
01:26:41,100 --> 01:26:44,100
>> Yeah, that is proposed by

2486
01:26:44,100 --> 01:26:46,100
Mrs. Talbott, or simple enough

2487
01:26:46,100 --> 01:26:47,100
to make

2488
01:26:47,100 --> 01:26:49,100
for the notice provision. It's

2489
01:26:49,100 --> 01:26:50,100
2 provisions, so that could be

2490
01:26:50,100 --> 01:26:51,100
changed. I can do it

2491
01:26:51,100 --> 01:26:54,100
on the screen for everyone

2492
01:26:54,100 --> 01:26:55,100
to see if you guys would bear

2493
01:26:55,100 --> 01:26:57,100
with me. Same thing with the

2494
01:26:57,100 --> 01:26:59,100
early termination provision

2495
01:26:59,100 --> 01:27:01,100
from 8 to 10 years,

2496
01:27:01,100 --> 01:27:02,100
that's simple enough as well,

2497
01:27:02,100 --> 01:27:04,100
and I can do it up there. I

2498
01:27:04,100 --> 01:27:06,100
think probably the best way

2499
01:27:06,100 --> 01:27:07,100
to go is that if there is going

2500
01:27:07,100 --> 01:27:10,100
to be any recommended changes

2501
01:27:11,100 --> 01:27:13,401
to the license agreement,

2502
01:27:14,100 --> 01:27:15,100
that each change just be

2503
01:27:15,100 --> 01:27:17,100
by individual motion. So

2504
01:27:17,100 --> 01:27:18,100
>> Why would we have a 10-year

2505
01:27:18,100 --> 01:27:20,100
agreement

2506
01:27:20,100 --> 01:27:22,401
for a 40-year ILA?

2507
01:27:24,100 --> 01:27:27,100
>> Why would we have what?

2508
01:27:27,100 --> 01:27:28,100
>> A 10-year agreement when the

2509
01:27:28,100 --> 01:27:30,100
ILA says 40 years.

2510
01:27:30,100 --> 01:27:32,100
>> It's all right.

2511
01:27:32,100 --> 01:27:34,100
>> And that 10 years is only

2512
01:27:34,100 --> 01:27:35,100
the life of the turf. The life

2513
01:27:35,100 --> 01:27:36,100
of all the fencing and the

2514
01:27:36,100 --> 01:27:37,100
buildings and the other things

2515
01:27:37,100 --> 01:27:38,100
that we're doing in order to

2516
01:27:38,100 --> 01:27:39,100
make the field great has a

2517
01:27:39,100 --> 01:27:41,100
longer shelf life than 10

2518
01:27:41,100 --> 01:27:42,100
years. And that's only one of

2519
01:27:42,100 --> 01:27:43,100
the many provisions that I find

2520
01:27:43,100 --> 01:27:45,100
concerning as an attorney. And

2521
01:27:45,100 --> 01:27:47,100
it's unfortunate that Darren

2522
01:27:47,100 --> 01:27:50,100
had his financial his family

2523
01:27:55,100 --> 01:27:58,100
emergency, because as a fellow

2524
01:27:58,100 --> 01:28:00,100
attorney, I would hope that he

2525
01:28:00,100 --> 01:28:01,100
would see some

2526
01:28:01,100 --> 01:28:04,100
of the same problems that I do.

2527
01:28:04,100 --> 01:28:06,100
And I kind of feel

2528
01:28:06,100 --> 01:28:08,100
like I'm left swinging here

2529
01:28:08,100 --> 01:28:09,100
on my own,

2530
01:28:09,100 --> 01:28:10,100
and there's just no chance

2531
01:28:10,100 --> 01:28:12,100
without us as a district being

2532
01:28:12,100 --> 01:28:13,100
protected that I want

2533
01:28:13,100 --> 01:28:15,100
to postpone again in the hopes

2534
01:28:15,100 --> 01:28:17,100
that the village will give us

2535
01:28:17,100 --> 01:28:19,100
something.

2536
01:28:24,100 --> 01:28:26,100
thing, finishing our

2537
01:28:26,100 --> 01:28:27,100
founders' project.

2538
01:28:27,100 --> 01:28:29,100
>> If the village turned down

2539
01:28:29,100 --> 01:28:30,100
what we're proposing here

2540
01:28:30,100 --> 01:28:31,100
tonight,

2541
01:28:31,100 --> 01:28:32,100
there would be no sense

2542
01:28:32,100 --> 01:28:33,100
in ever meeting with them 5

2543
01:28:33,100 --> 01:28:34,100
on 5, because there's no way I

2544
01:28:34,100 --> 01:28:36,100
would back off

2545
01:28:36,100 --> 01:28:37,100
of the not having the security

2546
01:28:37,100 --> 01:28:40,100
of being in that park. So I

2547
01:28:40,100 --> 01:28:42,100
think she's sending it

2548
01:28:42,100 --> 01:28:44,100
to them, and if If they turn it

2549
01:28:44,100 --> 01:28:45,100
down, then it's over,

2550
01:28:45,100 --> 01:28:46,100
and then we have to build it in

2551
01:28:46,100 --> 01:28:48,100
the back. I would say let's do

2552
01:28:48,100 --> 01:28:50,100
that.

2553
01:28:50,100 --> 01:28:53,601
>> I think if we had there

2554
01:28:54,100 --> 01:28:56,100
would be no reason to have a

2555
01:28:56,100 --> 01:28:58,100
5-on-5 meeting if we all agree.

2556
01:28:58,100 --> 01:29:01,100
But if it turns out that there

2557
01:29:01,100 --> 01:29:03,100
are specific parts of the

2558
01:29:03,100 --> 01:29:06,100
agreement where we don't get

2559
01:29:07,100 --> 01:29:09,100
agreement on,

2560
01:29:09,100 --> 01:29:10,100
that would be the reason. And

2561
01:29:10,100 --> 01:29:12,100
we would need

2562
01:29:12,100 --> 01:29:15,100
to know what those were

2563
01:29:16,100 --> 01:29:17,100
before we held a meeting,

2564
01:29:17,100 --> 01:29:19,100
and we would need to meet

2565
01:29:19,100 --> 01:29:21,100
on those things, not move the

2566
01:29:21,100 --> 01:29:23,100
bar, change the thing,

2567
01:29:23,100 --> 01:29:25,100
just vote

2568
01:29:25,100 --> 01:29:26,100
on the things that still need

2569
01:29:26,100 --> 01:29:28,100
to be discussed.

2570
01:29:30,100 --> 01:29:31,100
>> We're now going to sit here

2571
01:29:31,100 --> 01:29:33,100
for the 3rd time to come up

2572
01:29:33,100 --> 01:29:35,100
with an agreement that we're

2573
01:29:35,100 --> 01:29:37,100
giving the village in the hopes

2574
01:29:37,100 --> 01:29:39,100
that maybe they'll agree, when

2575
01:29:39,100 --> 01:29:40,100
in fact what they gave us is

2576
01:29:40,100 --> 01:29:42,100
less than what we asked for.

2577
01:29:42,100 --> 01:29:44,100
And I'm tired

2578
01:29:44,100 --> 01:29:46,100
of doing it.

2579
01:29:47,100 --> 01:29:48,100
>> Well, if they do it again,

2580
01:29:48,100 --> 01:29:51,601
it's over. Go ahead. Okay, so

2581
01:29:52,100 --> 01:29:55,100
there was no motion? We have a

2582
01:29:55,100 --> 01:29:56,100
motion and a second, and we

2583
01:29:56,100 --> 01:29:57,100
have

2584
01:29:57,100 --> 01:29:59,100
>> who moved and who seconded?

2585
01:29:59,100 --> 01:30:01,100
>> The item is on the floor,

2586
01:30:01,100 --> 01:30:02,100
but no motion

2587
01:30:02,100 --> 01:30:04,401
for an amendment. Right.

2588
01:30:08,100 --> 01:30:10,100
>> Right. So Sue, you were the

2589
01:30:10,100 --> 01:30:12,100
movant?

2590
01:30:12,100 --> 01:30:13,100
>> What?

2591
01:30:13,100 --> 01:30:14,100
>> You were the movant?

2592
01:30:14,100 --> 01:30:15,100
>> I made the motion,

2593
01:30:15,100 --> 01:30:16,100
yeah.

2594
01:30:16,100 --> 01:30:18,100
>> Okay, you can amend your

2595
01:30:18,100 --> 01:30:19,100
motion if you wish.

2596
01:30:19,100 --> 01:30:20,100
>> I'm the only one who can

2597
01:30:20,100 --> 01:30:21,100
amend it?

2598
01:30:21,100 --> 01:30:22,100
>> We need a motion to amend

2599
01:30:22,100 --> 01:30:23,100
that will be voted on.

2600
01:30:23,100 --> 01:30:25,100
>> Okay, I want a motion

2601
01:30:25,100 --> 01:30:28,100
to amend to Increase the

2602
01:30:31,100 --> 01:30:33,100
guaranteed time on the field

2603
01:30:33,100 --> 01:30:34,100
to 10 years or whatever the

2604
01:30:34,100 --> 01:30:36,100
kick-out date. And

2605
01:30:40,100 --> 01:30:41,100
to what else do I want,

2606
01:30:41,100 --> 01:30:43,100
Yvette?

2607
01:30:43,100 --> 01:30:44,100
>> What's part 2?

2608
01:30:44,100 --> 01:30:45,100
>> The amortization schedule.

2609
01:30:45,100 --> 01:30:47,100
So these go the length

2610
01:30:47,100 --> 01:30:48,100
of the useful life

2611
01:30:48,100 --> 01:30:49,100
of the turf.

2612
01:30:49,100 --> 01:30:50,100
>> Yeah, but in this case,

2613
01:30:50,100 --> 01:30:51,100
if we have a 10-year thing,

2614
01:30:51,100 --> 01:30:55,100
then You can show it up there.

2615
01:30:55,100 --> 01:30:57,100
>> Yeah, put it up there.

2616
01:30:57,100 --> 01:30:58,100
>> Do it up there. This way

2617
01:30:58,100 --> 01:31:01,601
she'll say, we'll go with that.

2618
01:31:02,100 --> 01:31:04,100
>> I've got it up there.

2619
01:31:04,100 --> 01:31:05,100
>> It's up there.

2620
01:31:05,100 --> 01:31:07,100
>> It's up there.

2621
01:31:07,100 --> 01:31:09,100
>> In the folder?

2622
01:31:09,100 --> 01:31:10,100
>> No, it's displayed. It's

2623
01:31:10,100 --> 01:31:11,100
ready to go. Just hit that

2624
01:31:11,100 --> 01:31:14,100
Word icon at the bottom.

2625
01:31:28,100 --> 01:31:29,100
>> This is going

2626
01:31:29,100 --> 01:31:30,100
to be slow because I'm going

2627
01:31:30,100 --> 01:31:31,100
to read everything paragraph

2628
01:31:31,100 --> 01:31:33,100
by paragraph again

2629
01:31:33,100 --> 01:31:35,401
for the 4th time.

2630
01:31:38,100 --> 01:31:41,100
>> Okay, so at this point,

2631
01:31:41,100 --> 01:31:44,100
don't any of the motions to

2632
01:31:44,100 --> 01:31:47,100
Yeah, but he's going to make it

2633
01:31:47,100 --> 01:31:49,100
official what they so he needs

2634
01:31:49,100 --> 01:31:51,100
to second the amended motion.

2635
01:31:51,100 --> 01:31:52,100
>> You want

2636
01:31:52,100 --> 01:31:54,100
to only change those 2 things

2637
01:31:54,100 --> 01:31:56,100
in the license agreement?

2638
01:31:56,100 --> 01:31:58,100
>> I said

2639
01:31:58,100 --> 01:31:59,100
at this time the motion is

2640
01:31:59,100 --> 01:32:01,100
to change those 2 things. It

2641
01:32:01,100 --> 01:32:03,100
won't be if you would like

2642
01:32:03,100 --> 01:32:05,100
to amend it

2643
01:32:05,100 --> 01:32:06,100
in a separate motion,

2644
01:32:06,100 --> 01:32:09,601
we can do that for you.

2645
01:32:10,100 --> 01:32:12,100
>> So again, I think it would

2646
01:32:12,100 --> 01:32:14,100
probably be cleaner

2647
01:32:14,100 --> 01:32:15,100
to do it one section

2648
01:32:15,100 --> 01:32:17,100
at a time. So the first one,

2649
01:32:17,100 --> 01:32:19,100
if I'm hearing everybody right,

2650
01:32:19,100 --> 01:32:20,100
would be motion to amend

2651
01:32:20,100 --> 01:32:22,100
Section 3B,

2652
01:32:22,100 --> 01:32:24,401
changing the non-renewal period

2653
01:32:26,100 --> 01:32:28,401
from 36 months to 5 years.

2654
01:32:29,100 --> 01:32:32,100
>> We have a 40-year ILA. Why

2655
01:32:32,100 --> 01:32:33,100
would we do anything less than

2656
01:32:33,100 --> 01:32:35,100
40

2657
01:32:43,100 --> 01:32:44,100
But there is a separate help.

2658
01:32:44,100 --> 01:32:47,100
That's the problem. There are

2659
01:32:47,100 --> 01:32:48,100
so many paragraphs in here that

2660
01:32:48,100 --> 01:32:49,100
address more than one thing

2661
01:32:49,100 --> 01:32:50,100
at a time.

2662
01:32:50,100 --> 01:32:51,100
>> We want that for 10, not

2663
01:32:51,100 --> 01:32:53,100
for 5. I thought she said 10. I

2664
01:32:53,100 --> 01:32:54,100
said 10. We want that for 10

2665
01:32:54,100 --> 01:32:55,100
years, not 5.

2666
01:32:55,100 --> 01:32:57,100
>> I don't think it should be

2667
01:32:57,100 --> 01:33:00,601
10 years. I think it should be

2668
01:33:06,100 --> 01:33:07,100
longer.

2669
01:33:07,100 --> 01:33:09,100
>> So this is just providing

2670
01:33:09,100 --> 01:33:10,100
the notice of non-renewal. So

2671
01:33:10,100 --> 01:33:11,100
this is saying that when the

2672
01:33:11,100 --> 01:33:13,100
optional renewal periods come

2673
01:33:13,100 --> 01:33:15,100
up, they have the ability

2674
01:33:15,100 --> 01:33:16,100
to give 3 years advance notice

2675
01:33:16,100 --> 01:33:17,100
saying we're not invoking the

2676
01:33:17,100 --> 01:33:18,100
renewal option. So I heard that

2677
01:33:18,100 --> 01:33:20,100
being as 5 years.

2678
01:33:20,100 --> 01:33:21,100
>> Okay, that's so at 5 years

2679
01:33:21,100 --> 01:33:23,100
they could say, at 10 years So

2680
01:33:23,100 --> 01:33:25,100
it

2681
01:33:32,100 --> 01:33:33,100
>> correct, correct. They'd

2682
01:33:33,100 --> 01:33:34,100
have to give you a 5-year

2683
01:33:34,100 --> 01:33:36,100
>> 5 years you have

2684
01:33:36,100 --> 01:33:37,100
to be out.

2685
01:33:37,100 --> 01:33:38,100
>> They'd have to give you a

2686
01:33:38,100 --> 01:33:39,100
5-year heads-up

2687
01:33:39,100 --> 01:33:40,100
to terminate the agreement.

2688
01:33:40,100 --> 01:33:42,100
>> 5 years from date 2

2689
01:33:42,100 --> 01:33:43,100
of the life

2690
01:33:43,100 --> 01:33:44,100
of the agreement.

2691
01:33:44,100 --> 01:33:46,100
>> So if they say they want us

2692
01:33:46,100 --> 01:33:47,100
out, then you're talking 5

2693
01:33:47,100 --> 01:33:49,100
years, not so I want to see 10

2694
01:33:49,100 --> 01:33:53,201
years. I wanted to see that no

2695
01:33:54,100 --> 01:33:55,100
matter what happens,

2696
01:33:55,100 --> 01:33:56,100
we're there for 10 years.

2697
01:33:56,100 --> 01:33:57,100
>> Except by mutual agreement.

2698
01:33:57,100 --> 01:33:58,100
>> I mean, if we want

2699
01:33:58,100 --> 01:33:59,100
out and they want out, that's,

2700
01:33:59,100 --> 01:34:00,100
that's a different story. I

2701
01:34:00,100 --> 01:34:02,100
agree with that. But as long as

2702
01:34:02,100 --> 01:34:05,100
we can't be thrown out in 10

2703
01:34:05,100 --> 01:34:06,100
years

2704
01:34:06,100 --> 01:34:08,100
from the day we start working

2705
01:34:08,100 --> 01:34:11,601
on it, that's all I want.

2706
01:34:14,100 --> 01:34:17,100
Whether how if they wanted

2707
01:34:17,100 --> 01:34:19,100
>> This actually

2708
01:34:19,100 --> 01:34:20,100
>> Whatever they tell us that

2709
01:34:20,100 --> 01:34:22,100
they want us out, you know, so

2710
01:34:22,100 --> 01:34:25,100
I would hope I hope they give

2711
01:34:25,100 --> 01:34:26,100
us some sort of a warning in

2712
01:34:26,100 --> 01:34:27,100
10 years. They say yeah, I

2713
01:34:27,100 --> 01:34:28,100
don't care if they give us a

2714
01:34:28,100 --> 01:34:30,100
3-year warning on it.

2715
01:34:30,100 --> 01:34:31,100
>> If I could show you a little

2716
01:34:31,100 --> 01:34:32,100
bit just to maybe clarify. So

2717
01:34:32,100 --> 01:34:33,100
it's set up as a 20-year

2718
01:34:33,100 --> 01:34:35,100
initial period with 2 10-year

2719
01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:36,100
renewals that are automatic

2720
01:34:36,100 --> 01:34:38,100
unless they give the 3-year

2721
01:34:38,100 --> 01:34:39,100
heads up. And that kind

2722
01:34:39,100 --> 01:34:41,100
of just ties

2723
01:34:41,100 --> 01:34:43,100
into the termination provision

2724
01:34:43,100 --> 01:34:45,100
at the end, which, you know,

2725
01:34:45,100 --> 01:34:46,100
basically says that either

2726
01:34:46,100 --> 01:34:48,100
party may terminate

2727
01:34:48,100 --> 01:34:50,100
at any time. upon 3 years

2728
01:34:50,100 --> 01:34:52,100
advance notice.

2729
01:34:52,100 --> 01:34:53,100
>> It's not as simple as

2730
01:34:53,100 --> 01:34:54,100
looking

2731
01:34:54,100 --> 01:34:56,100
at just one paragraph. That's

2732
01:34:56,100 --> 01:34:57,100
not how the license agreement

2733
01:34:57,100 --> 01:34:59,100
works.

2734
01:35:01,100 --> 01:35:03,100
>> Well, right here.

2735
01:35:05,100 --> 01:35:07,100
>> We'd have to go paragraph

2736
01:35:07,100 --> 01:35:09,100
by paragraph like we did at the

2737
01:35:09,100 --> 01:35:10,100
first retreat that we sent the

2738
01:35:10,100 --> 01:35:11,100
village

2739
01:35:11,100 --> 01:35:13,100
on this and make sure that

2740
01:35:13,100 --> 01:35:15,100
It's all stated the way that we

2741
01:35:15,100 --> 01:35:17,100
feel is safe. And if you guys

2742
01:35:17,100 --> 01:35:19,100
want to do it now, it's , I

2743
01:35:19,100 --> 01:35:21,100
have no problem. I'll stay here

2744
01:35:21,100 --> 01:35:23,100
until if that's what it takes.

2745
01:35:23,100 --> 01:35:24,100
But I am not going to on the

2746
01:35:24,100 --> 01:35:25,100
fly do a paragraph here and a

2747
01:35:25,100 --> 01:35:26,100
word there, and I can't even

2748
01:35:26,100 --> 01:35:29,100
imagine our lawyers would let

2749
01:35:37,100 --> 01:35:39,100
us do that.

2750
01:35:39,100 --> 01:35:41,100
>> Yeah.

2751
01:35:42,100 --> 01:35:43,100
>> Just as I understood Ms.

2752
01:35:43,100 --> 01:35:44,100
Talbott's comment,

2753
01:35:44,100 --> 01:35:46,100
it would be changing this to 5

2754
01:35:46,100 --> 01:35:47,100
years, so they have

2755
01:35:47,100 --> 01:35:50,100
to give a 5-year heads up

2756
01:35:50,100 --> 01:35:52,100
to terminate the agreement

2757
01:35:52,100 --> 01:35:55,100
at any time. It would be the

2758
01:35:55,100 --> 01:35:58,100
same as the previous provision

2759
01:35:59,100 --> 01:36:03,201
I was just at, which would be

2760
01:36:09,100 --> 01:36:10,100
5 years

2761
01:36:10,100 --> 01:36:11,100
before really doesn't matter,

2762
01:36:11,100 --> 01:36:12,100
it's the same because it's 5

2763
01:36:12,100 --> 01:36:13,100
years either way. And then as

2764
01:36:13,100 --> 01:36:14,100
far as the termination,

2765
01:36:14,100 --> 01:36:15,100
that would go from So 8 to 10

2766
01:36:15,100 --> 01:36:16,100
years, right? That's, that's

2767
01:36:16,100 --> 01:36:17,100
what I understood Mrs.

2768
01:36:17,100 --> 01:36:18,100
Talbott's comment to be.

2769
01:36:18,100 --> 01:36:20,100
>> Okay, that's fine.

2770
01:36:20,100 --> 01:36:21,100
>> But Hunter, that means that

2771
01:36:21,100 --> 01:36:23,100
we move in and day 2 they tell

2772
01:36:23,100 --> 01:36:24,100
us they're giving us notice,

2773
01:36:24,100 --> 01:36:25,100
we only have 5 years. What

2774
01:36:25,100 --> 01:36:26,100
we're looking for is

2775
01:36:26,100 --> 01:36:27,100
to stay a minimum of 10 to

2776
01:36:27,100 --> 01:36:29,100
through the and I don't know

2777
01:36:29,100 --> 01:36:31,100
why anyone would disagree

2778
01:36:31,100 --> 01:36:32,100
with that.

2779
01:36:32,100 --> 01:36:33,100
>> So in that instance If they,

2780
01:36:33,100 --> 01:36:35,100
you know, if you approved it

2781
01:36:35,100 --> 01:36:36,100
today, they terminated

2782
01:36:36,100 --> 01:36:38,100
tomorrow, then the early

2783
01:36:38,100 --> 01:36:40,100
termination schedule would be

2784
01:36:40,100 --> 01:36:42,100
about at about 50%. So they'd

2785
01:36:42,100 --> 01:36:43,100
have to make a payment of

2786
01:36:43,100 --> 01:36:46,100
about $2 million, give or take,

2787
01:36:46,100 --> 01:36:49,100
if they were to do that.

2788
01:36:49,100 --> 01:36:50,100
>> I think what we are

2789
01:36:50,100 --> 01:36:52,100
discussing is having the

2790
01:36:52,100 --> 01:36:53,100
security

2791
01:36:53,100 --> 01:36:54,100
of knowing we're there

2792
01:36:54,100 --> 01:36:55,100
for a minimum of 10 years,

2793
01:36:55,100 --> 01:36:57,100
right,

2794
01:36:57,100 --> 01:36:58,100
before we can be removed.

2795
01:36:58,100 --> 01:36:59,100
At that point,

2796
01:36:59,100 --> 01:37:01,100
we've used the lifespan

2797
01:37:01,100 --> 01:37:02,100
of our turf and, you know, 50%

2798
01:37:02,100 --> 01:37:04,100
of our investment.

2799
01:37:05,100 --> 01:37:06,100
>> That probably would be more

2800
01:37:06,100 --> 01:37:08,100
of a structural amendment

2801
01:37:08,100 --> 01:37:09,100
because the way that, you know,

2802
01:37:09,100 --> 01:37:10,100
termination provisions are set

2803
01:37:10,100 --> 01:37:12,100
up now and stuff. I mean,

2804
01:37:12,100 --> 01:37:13,100
I could definitely rework that

2805
01:37:13,100 --> 01:37:15,100
here, but it's going

2806
01:37:15,100 --> 01:37:17,100
to take me a little bit

2807
01:37:17,100 --> 01:37:19,100
of time.

2808
01:37:19,100 --> 01:37:20,100
>> Okay. And I don't mean

2809
01:37:20,100 --> 01:37:21,100
to speak for everyone, but I

2810
01:37:21,100 --> 01:37:22,100
believe that's what I'm

2811
01:37:22,100 --> 01:37:23,100
hearing.

2812
01:37:23,100 --> 01:37:25,100
>> Yeah. 10 years.

2813
01:37:25,100 --> 01:37:26,100
>> That is, we'd like to have

2814
01:37:26,100 --> 01:37:28,100
an assurance that we make this

2815
01:37:28,100 --> 01:37:29,100
investment,

2816
01:37:29,100 --> 01:37:31,100
that we will not be terminated

2817
01:37:31,100 --> 01:37:34,100
before the minimum of 10 years,

2818
01:37:34,100 --> 01:37:36,100
even though we have a 40-year

2819
01:37:36,100 --> 01:37:38,100
thing.

2820
01:37:40,100 --> 01:37:41,100
>> Yeah. That's what I want

2821
01:37:41,100 --> 01:37:44,100
to see, guaranteed that no

2822
01:37:44,100 --> 01:37:47,100
matter as far as when they tell

2823
01:37:47,100 --> 01:37:48,100
us ahead of time, that's not

2824
01:37:48,100 --> 01:37:50,401
all that important. important.

2825
01:37:52,100 --> 01:37:54,100
I guess a couple of years,

2826
01:37:54,100 --> 01:37:55,100
you don't want to be 9 and a

2827
01:37:55,100 --> 01:37:56,100
half years and then somebody

2828
01:37:56,100 --> 01:37:57,100
comes and say, hey, you got

2829
01:37:57,100 --> 01:38:00,100
to get out, you know.

2830
01:38:00,100 --> 01:38:01,100
>> Okay, then what I would need

2831
01:38:01,100 --> 01:38:02,100
to know after

2832
01:38:02,100 --> 01:38:04,100
>> So I want to make a motion

2833
01:38:04,100 --> 01:38:05,100
to postpone our decision

2834
01:38:05,100 --> 01:38:07,100
on the floor.

2835
01:38:10,100 --> 01:38:12,100
>> Address the chair. What

2836
01:38:12,100 --> 01:38:14,100
motion are you seeking?

2837
01:38:14,100 --> 01:38:16,100
>> If we're gonna try and amend

2838
01:38:16,100 --> 01:38:17,100
this, I don't want to do this

2839
01:38:17,100 --> 01:38:19,100
on the I think that we should

2840
01:38:19,100 --> 01:38:20,100
all give our input and have

2841
01:38:20,100 --> 01:38:22,100
something different written.

2842
01:38:22,100 --> 01:38:23,100
And if that's what the board

2843
01:38:23,100 --> 01:38:25,100
members feel that they want

2844
01:38:25,100 --> 01:38:28,100
to do, then I guess we postpone

2845
01:38:28,100 --> 01:38:31,100
it again. I don't know,

2846
01:38:35,100 --> 01:38:38,100
but I tried not to.

2847
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:41,100
>> Are you making a motion

2848
01:38:41,100 --> 01:38:42,100
to postpone?

2849
01:38:42,100 --> 01:38:43,100
>> I am.

2850
01:38:43,100 --> 01:38:44,100
>> That's a higher order

2851
01:38:44,100 --> 01:38:46,100
motion, so it needs

2852
01:38:46,100 --> 01:38:48,100
to be considered

2853
01:38:48,100 --> 01:38:49,100
before action. If you get a

2854
01:38:49,100 --> 01:38:51,100
second, that is.

2855
01:38:51,100 --> 01:38:53,100
>> Then I make that motion.

2856
01:38:53,100 --> 01:38:56,601
>> Is there a second? Is there

2857
01:39:02,100 --> 01:39:04,100
a second?

2858
01:39:09,100 --> 01:39:10,100
>> Then I'll second that so we

2859
01:39:10,100 --> 01:39:12,401
can have a conversation.

2860
01:39:13,100 --> 01:39:15,100
>> Okay, converse.

2861
01:39:15,100 --> 01:39:17,100
>> So discussion-wise,

2862
01:39:17,100 --> 01:39:19,100
my concern is that we're going

2863
01:39:19,100 --> 01:39:22,100
to try and fix what's a lengthy

2864
01:39:22,100 --> 01:39:24,100
multi-page agreement

2865
01:39:25,100 --> 01:39:26,100
with paragraphs that refer

2866
01:39:26,100 --> 01:39:28,100
to different things and overlap

2867
01:39:28,100 --> 01:39:31,100
in many ways, looking quickly

2868
01:39:35,100 --> 01:39:39,201
at a meeting And I have more

2869
01:39:42,100 --> 01:39:45,601
than 2 concerns. And so I just

2870
01:39:48,100 --> 01:39:50,100
don't feel comfortable from a

2871
01:39:50,100 --> 01:39:52,100
legal perspective deciding

2872
01:39:52,100 --> 01:39:55,100
on something that quickly. So

2873
01:39:55,100 --> 01:39:58,601
that's why I made the motion.

2874
01:40:07,100 --> 01:40:09,100
>> Any other discussion?

2875
01:40:12,100 --> 01:40:13,100
>> You're talking

2876
01:40:13,100 --> 01:40:14,100
about a postponement, but are

2877
01:40:14,100 --> 01:40:15,100
you suggesting that we air our

2878
01:40:15,100 --> 01:40:16,100
concerns here,

2879
01:40:16,100 --> 01:40:17,100
you go back and rewrite this,

2880
01:40:17,100 --> 01:40:18,100
and then we revisit it again,

2881
01:40:18,100 --> 01:40:19,100
and it won't happen

2882
01:40:19,100 --> 01:40:21,401
before their, their meeting

2883
01:40:22,100 --> 01:40:24,100
unless we have some sort of

2884
01:40:24,100 --> 01:40:25,100
emergency meeting? I understand

2885
01:40:25,100 --> 01:40:26,100
the time constraints. Is that

2886
01:40:26,100 --> 01:40:28,401
what we're talking about,

2887
01:40:30,100 --> 01:40:32,100
and is that possible?

2888
01:40:32,100 --> 01:40:33,100
>> Their next meeting is the

2889
01:40:33,100 --> 01:40:35,100
7th, so yeah, I mean, it'd be

2890
01:40:35,100 --> 01:40:37,401
an exceedingly fast turnaround.

2891
01:40:39,100 --> 01:40:42,100
Yeah, I mean, as far as the

2892
01:40:42,100 --> 01:40:44,100
10-year provision you're

2893
01:40:44,100 --> 01:40:46,100
talking about, that would be

2894
01:40:46,100 --> 01:40:47,100
that would change the structure

2895
01:40:47,100 --> 01:40:49,100
of the agreement and be a

2896
01:40:49,100 --> 01:40:51,100
little more substantive. I can

2897
01:40:51,100 --> 01:40:52,100
definitely do that tonight if

2898
01:40:52,100 --> 01:40:54,401
everyone's happy to sit

2899
01:40:55,100 --> 01:40:57,401
around and wait. But,

2900
01:40:58,100 --> 01:40:59,100
for what it's worth,

2901
01:40:59,100 --> 01:41:00,100
that wasn't included in the

2902
01:41:00,100 --> 01:41:02,100
previously board-approved

2903
01:41:04,100 --> 01:41:06,100
March agreement, so that would

2904
01:41:06,100 --> 01:41:07,100
be something new.

2905
01:41:07,100 --> 01:41:09,100
>> Just like the village keeps

2906
01:41:09,100 --> 01:41:12,100
coming back with new stuff,

2907
01:41:14,100 --> 01:41:15,100
not to mention the fact that

2908
01:41:15,100 --> 01:41:16,100
they want us to indemnify them

2909
01:41:16,100 --> 01:41:17,100
no matter what happens and

2910
01:41:17,100 --> 01:41:19,100
when. I mean, there's so much

2911
01:41:19,100 --> 01:41:21,100
in here that I find

2912
01:41:21,100 --> 01:41:24,100
problematic, and I just don't

2913
01:41:27,100 --> 01:41:30,100
see how nobody else thinks

2914
01:41:32,100 --> 01:41:34,100
that's a problem. And we agreed

2915
01:41:34,100 --> 01:41:37,100
at the last time we discussed

2916
01:41:37,100 --> 01:41:39,100
this that once we approved a

2917
01:41:39,100 --> 01:41:42,100
price, that we were going

2918
01:41:42,100 --> 01:41:43,100
to hold to that price. But this

2919
01:41:43,100 --> 01:41:45,100
new license agreement says even

2920
01:41:45,100 --> 01:41:47,100
after the price,

2921
01:41:48,100 --> 01:41:51,100
they can make changes. And

2922
01:41:51,100 --> 01:41:54,100
there's no inspection on their

2923
01:41:54,100 --> 01:41:55,100
part required when they're done

2924
01:41:55,100 --> 01:41:57,100
with the field. So if they have

2925
01:41:57,100 --> 01:41:58,100
a giant event like the

2926
01:41:58,100 --> 01:41:59,100
Founders Nautical Market and

2927
01:41:59,100 --> 01:42:01,100
something happens

2928
01:42:01,100 --> 01:42:03,100
to the field,

2929
01:42:04,100 --> 01:42:06,100
it's our problem.

2930
01:42:07,100 --> 01:42:08,100
>> And just, just to clarify,

2931
01:42:08,100 --> 01:42:09,100
based

2932
01:42:09,100 --> 01:42:10,100
on this license agreement,

2933
01:42:10,100 --> 01:42:12,100
just to clarify

2934
01:42:12,100 --> 01:42:14,100
on that point, There is

2935
01:42:14,100 --> 01:42:15,100
provisions

2936
01:42:15,100 --> 01:42:16,100
in there that if they, you

2937
01:42:16,100 --> 01:42:17,100
know, if either side uses a

2938
01:42:17,100 --> 01:42:18,100
field that doesn't comply

2939
01:42:18,100 --> 01:42:21,100
with the, you know, specs and

2940
01:42:21,100 --> 01:42:22,100
warranty,

2941
01:42:22,100 --> 01:42:23,100
that they're responsible

2942
01:42:23,100 --> 01:42:25,100
for that damage. And then as

2943
01:42:25,100 --> 01:42:26,100
far as the maintenance, it's

2944
01:42:26,100 --> 01:42:28,401
contemplated that the school

2945
01:42:29,100 --> 01:42:30,100
district is responsible

2946
01:42:30,100 --> 01:42:31,100
for year-round. So school

2947
01:42:31,100 --> 01:42:32,100
district always has its eyes

2948
01:42:32,100 --> 01:42:33,100
on it,

2949
01:42:33,100 --> 01:42:34,100
and then the village just pays

2950
01:42:34,100 --> 01:42:35,100
for the cost

2951
01:42:35,100 --> 01:42:36,100
of that maintenance during the

2952
01:42:36,100 --> 01:42:39,601
time that they have the field.

2953
01:42:43,100 --> 01:42:46,100
>> But who's inspecting it and

2954
01:42:46,100 --> 01:42:47,100
when?

2955
01:42:47,100 --> 01:42:49,100
>> Well, I mean,

2956
01:42:52,100 --> 01:42:53,100
whoever's doing maintenance

2957
01:42:53,100 --> 01:42:54,100
for the district.

2958
01:42:54,100 --> 01:42:55,100
>> So the district's going

2959
01:42:55,100 --> 01:42:56,100
to be on Founders Park property

2960
01:42:56,100 --> 01:42:57,100
year-round taking care

2961
01:42:57,100 --> 01:42:59,100
of the field? Yeah, that's what

2962
01:42:59,100 --> 01:43:00,100
it does right now.

2963
01:43:00,100 --> 01:43:01,100
>> That would be a question

2964
01:43:01,100 --> 01:43:04,100
for Mr. LaFere, but I'm not

2965
01:43:04,100 --> 01:43:06,401
sure how often maintenance

2966
01:43:09,100 --> 01:43:10,100
workers would be

2967
01:43:10,100 --> 01:43:11,100
out there doing

2968
01:43:11,100 --> 01:43:12,100
>> We don't do anything

2969
01:43:12,100 --> 01:43:13,100
on the field right now, is We

2970
01:43:13,100 --> 01:43:14,100
are in the process of taking

2971
01:43:14,100 --> 01:43:16,100
over the maintenance

2972
01:43:16,100 --> 01:43:17,100
of the field year-round

2973
01:43:17,100 --> 01:43:19,100
to have one team working

2974
01:43:19,100 --> 01:43:20,100
on it and then working

2975
01:43:20,100 --> 01:43:21,100
out compensation

2976
01:43:21,100 --> 01:43:23,100
with the village.

2977
01:43:23,100 --> 01:43:25,401
>> And price changes? What's

2978
01:43:26,100 --> 01:43:28,100
unreasonable and where is that

2979
01:43:28,100 --> 01:43:30,100
defined?

2980
01:43:34,100 --> 01:43:36,100
>> There's a provision in there

2981
01:43:36,100 --> 01:43:37,100
currently that says if they,

2982
01:43:37,100 --> 01:43:39,100
they make any changes

2983
01:43:39,100 --> 01:43:40,100
to the planes

2984
01:43:40,100 --> 01:43:41,100
in their ownership capacity,

2985
01:43:41,100 --> 01:43:43,100
that they're responsible

2986
01:43:43,100 --> 01:43:45,100
for that price increase, if

2987
01:43:45,100 --> 01:43:46,100
that's what you're referring

2988
01:43:46,100 --> 01:43:48,100
to.

2989
01:43:50,100 --> 01:43:52,100
>> Say that again.

2990
01:43:52,100 --> 01:43:55,601
>> Let me give me one second.

2991
01:44:01,100 --> 01:44:04,100
I'll pull it up here.

2992
01:44:18,100 --> 01:44:21,100
>> So it's this section here. I

2993
01:44:21,100 --> 01:44:22,100
can certainly read it

2994
01:44:22,100 --> 01:44:23,100
out if you'd like Yes. But it's

2995
01:44:23,100 --> 01:44:24,100
essentially saying that the

2996
01:44:24,100 --> 01:44:26,100
school board is responsible

2997
01:44:26,100 --> 01:44:28,100
for all costs related to the

2998
01:44:28,100 --> 01:44:29,100
construction and renovation

2999
01:44:29,100 --> 01:44:32,100
of the baseball field, except

3000
01:44:33,100 --> 01:44:34,100
in the event that the Village

3001
01:44:34,100 --> 01:44:35,100
in its property ownership

3002
01:44:35,100 --> 01:44:37,100
capacity objects and recommends

3003
01:44:37,100 --> 01:44:39,100
changes to the submittals,

3004
01:44:39,100 --> 01:44:41,100
which is the, you know,

3005
01:44:41,100 --> 01:44:42,100
design documents and what have

3006
01:44:42,100 --> 01:44:45,100
you, that the Village is

3007
01:44:45,100 --> 01:44:46,100
responsible for the costs,

3008
01:44:46,100 --> 01:44:47,100
fees, and expenses associated

3009
01:44:47,100 --> 01:44:48,100
And then what

3010
01:44:48,100 --> 01:44:50,100
about their denial

3011
01:44:54,100 --> 01:44:57,601
of our contractor? I mean, I

3012
01:45:07,100 --> 01:45:08,100
think the language is that it

3013
01:45:08,100 --> 01:45:10,401
can't be unreasonably withheld.

3014
01:45:13,100 --> 01:45:14,100
>> That's the unreasonable

3015
01:45:14,100 --> 01:45:15,100
part.

3016
01:45:15,100 --> 01:45:16,100
>> Yeah, I mean, I'm not aware

3017
01:45:16,100 --> 01:45:18,401
of anyone having issues

3018
01:45:19,100 --> 01:45:21,100
with the contractor,

3019
01:45:21,100 --> 01:45:23,100
but I will go

3020
01:45:23,100 --> 01:45:25,100
to the language.

3021
01:45:28,100 --> 01:45:29,100
>> And I thought they were

3022
01:45:29,100 --> 01:45:30,100
responsible. I had a discussion

3023
01:45:30,100 --> 01:45:33,100
with that they would be

3024
01:45:35,100 --> 01:45:36,100
responsible, for instance,

3025
01:45:36,100 --> 01:45:39,100
if the during the seafood

3026
01:45:41,100 --> 01:45:42,100
festival or whatever they had,

3027
01:45:42,100 --> 01:45:44,100
the nautical market,

3028
01:45:44,100 --> 01:45:45,100
that if they had

3029
01:45:45,100 --> 01:45:47,100
like a grease truck, you know,

3030
01:45:47,100 --> 01:45:49,100
somebody cooking and the grease

3031
01:45:49,100 --> 01:45:50,100
got on there,

3032
01:45:50,100 --> 01:45:51,100
that they would be responsible

3033
01:45:51,100 --> 01:45:52,100
for fixing that.

3034
01:45:52,100 --> 01:45:53,100
>> Yes, there's language

3035
01:45:53,100 --> 01:45:54,100
to that effect in there,

3036
01:45:54,100 --> 01:45:56,100
and I'll scroll down

3037
01:45:56,100 --> 01:45:59,100
with it if Mrs. Conn's done

3038
01:45:59,100 --> 01:46:00,100
with this section I have up

3039
01:46:00,100 --> 01:46:02,100
there now.

3040
01:46:04,100 --> 01:46:05,100
>> What are we on?

3041
01:46:05,100 --> 01:46:07,100
>> The contractor.

3042
01:46:07,100 --> 01:46:08,100
>> This is the contractor about

3043
01:46:08,100 --> 01:46:11,100
>> I know your understanding is

3044
01:46:12,100 --> 01:46:13,100
they have no problem,

3045
01:46:13,100 --> 01:46:15,100
but if they have no problem,

3046
01:46:15,100 --> 01:46:16,100
why is this paragraph

3047
01:46:16,100 --> 01:46:18,100
in the agreement?

3048
01:46:19,100 --> 01:46:20,100
>> It's just what they

3049
01:46:20,100 --> 01:46:21,100
requested.

3050
01:46:21,100 --> 01:46:23,100
>> Exactly.

3051
01:46:41,100 --> 01:46:42,100
>> Here's the provision you're

3052
01:46:42,100 --> 01:46:43,100
requesting, Mr. Dick. It's use

3053
01:46:43,100 --> 01:46:45,100
of artificial turf. Says,

3054
01:46:45,100 --> 01:46:47,100
licensor and licensee shall not

3055
01:46:47,100 --> 01:46:49,100
permit the baseball field

3056
01:46:49,100 --> 01:46:50,100
to be used in contravention to

3057
01:46:50,100 --> 01:46:52,100
any applicable specifications,

3058
01:46:52,100 --> 01:46:54,100
warranties, and, or manufacturer

3059
01:46:54,100 --> 01:46:56,100
instructions.

3060
01:46:58,100 --> 01:46:59,100
And the parties shall be

3061
01:46:59,100 --> 01:47:00,100
solely responsible

3062
01:47:00,100 --> 01:47:02,401
for all damage caused

3063
01:47:07,100 --> 01:47:08,100
by such prohibited use, and

3064
01:47:08,100 --> 01:47:09,100
that licensees shall provide

3065
01:47:09,100 --> 01:47:11,100
licensor with a copy of the

3066
01:47:11,100 --> 01:47:12,100
applicable specifications,

3067
01:47:12,100 --> 01:47:13,100
warranties, and/or manufacturer

3068
01:47:13,100 --> 01:47:14,100
instructions.

3069
01:47:14,100 --> 01:47:15,100
>> So we covered on a couple

3070
01:47:15,100 --> 01:47:16,100
of these points already. As far

3071
01:47:16,100 --> 01:47:17,100
as the contractor, they

3072
01:47:17,100 --> 01:47:18,100
to me,

3073
01:47:18,100 --> 01:47:19,100
I don't believe they're going

3074
01:47:19,100 --> 01:47:20,100
to, you know, say that our

3075
01:47:20,100 --> 01:47:22,100
contractor is no good. They

3076
01:47:22,100 --> 01:47:23,100
have to have a real No solid

3077
01:47:23,100 --> 01:47:25,100
reason.

3078
01:47:25,100 --> 01:47:26,100
>> Then why have it in there?

3079
01:47:26,100 --> 01:47:28,100
>> Well, you know, they wanted

3080
01:47:28,100 --> 01:47:29,100
it there. I'm not going

3081
01:47:29,100 --> 01:47:31,100
to fight over it.

3082
01:47:31,100 --> 01:47:32,100
>> They're not going

3083
01:47:32,100 --> 01:47:33,100
to be unreasonable,

3084
01:47:33,100 --> 01:47:34,100
and they're fine

3085
01:47:34,100 --> 01:47:35,100
with our contractor. We don't

3086
01:47:35,100 --> 01:47:36,100
need it in the agreement. And

3087
01:47:36,100 --> 01:47:38,100
then once we pass this,

3088
01:47:38,100 --> 01:47:40,100
we still have to come up

3089
01:47:40,100 --> 01:47:42,401
with a use agreement.

3090
01:47:45,100 --> 01:47:47,100
>> Well, to me, the use

3091
01:47:47,100 --> 01:47:48,100
agreement is a calendar.

3092
01:47:48,100 --> 01:47:50,100
>> It's my understanding

3093
01:47:51,100 --> 01:47:52,100
>> If it were a calendar, then

3094
01:47:52,100 --> 01:47:54,100
we wouldn't need it because

3095
01:47:54,100 --> 01:47:55,100
there's a calendar in here. We

3096
01:47:55,100 --> 01:47:56,100
get it from January to

3097
01:47:56,100 --> 01:47:58,100
>> No, the use agreement is

3098
01:47:58,100 --> 01:48:00,100
essentially a calendar. I would

3099
01:48:00,100 --> 01:48:01,100
hope that the baseball people

3100
01:48:01,100 --> 01:48:02,100
would nod their head if that is

3101
01:48:02,100 --> 01:48:04,100
the case. It's a calendar

3102
01:48:04,100 --> 01:48:05,100
of what year, what the date

3103
01:48:05,100 --> 01:48:07,401
that's that the practice

3104
01:48:11,100 --> 01:48:12,100
starts, which days we have

3105
01:48:12,100 --> 01:48:14,100
games, when we're expecting

3106
01:48:14,100 --> 01:48:16,100
to be finished

3107
01:48:16,100 --> 01:48:17,100
with the season. That is what

3108
01:48:17,100 --> 01:48:18,100
the use agreement

3109
01:48:18,100 --> 01:48:21,100
in the past has been.

3110
01:48:22,100 --> 01:48:25,601
>> Yes, Hunter, can we get back

3111
01:48:27,100 --> 01:48:29,100
to the contractor? Yeah, I'm

3112
01:48:29,100 --> 01:48:31,100
sorry, I'm sorry, no, finish.

3113
01:48:31,100 --> 01:48:32,100
Just thinking about that, the

3114
01:48:32,100 --> 01:48:33,100
contractor is there some is

3115
01:48:33,100 --> 01:48:35,100
there a deadline? Like, if they

3116
01:48:35,100 --> 01:48:36,100
have an issue

3117
01:48:36,100 --> 01:48:37,100
with our contractor,

3118
01:48:37,100 --> 01:48:38,100
what is the time frame

3119
01:48:38,100 --> 01:48:40,100
on that? At what point?

3120
01:48:40,100 --> 01:48:41,100
Because if we don't get moving

3121
01:48:41,100 --> 01:48:42,100
on that shortly, we'll never

3122
01:48:42,100 --> 01:48:45,100
make a deadline anyway. They

3123
01:48:45,100 --> 01:48:47,100
have 60 days. We've already

3124
01:48:47,100 --> 01:48:50,100
>> We have, right? The, yeah,

3125
01:48:52,100 --> 01:48:54,100
so it, it mainly talks about

3126
01:48:54,100 --> 01:48:56,100
60 days as for the periods

3127
01:48:56,100 --> 01:48:59,100
for approval by the village.

3128
01:49:00,100 --> 01:49:01,100
You know, I spoke with the

3129
01:49:01,100 --> 01:49:02,100
village's attorney and, you

3130
01:49:02,100 --> 01:49:03,100
know,

3131
01:49:03,100 --> 01:49:04,100
let them know that time is of

3132
01:49:04,100 --> 01:49:05,100
the essence as far as that

3133
01:49:05,100 --> 01:49:07,100
goes. And I spoke with Pat

3134
01:49:07,100 --> 01:49:08,100
as well so that if If this were

3135
01:49:08,100 --> 01:49:09,100
to be approved tonight,

3136
01:49:09,100 --> 01:49:10,100
we would get those submittals

3137
01:49:10,100 --> 01:49:12,100
over to the village so that

3138
01:49:12,100 --> 01:49:13,100
they could hopefully approve

3139
01:49:13,100 --> 01:49:14,100
any and all

3140
01:49:14,100 --> 01:49:16,100
of their submittals by the

3141
01:49:16,100 --> 01:49:17,100
July meeting.

3142
01:49:17,100 --> 01:49:18,100
>> Do you have any idea why

3143
01:49:18,100 --> 01:49:19,100
that stipulation is

3144
01:49:19,100 --> 01:49:21,100
in there? I mean, the

3145
01:49:21,100 --> 01:49:22,100
contractor that was chosen is

3146
01:49:22,100 --> 01:49:23,100
licensed, bonded,

3147
01:49:23,100 --> 01:49:24,100
has built an airport and many,

3148
01:49:24,100 --> 01:49:25,100
many other things,

3149
01:49:25,100 --> 01:49:27,100
has insurance. What would be a

3150
01:49:27,100 --> 01:49:29,100
reasonable objection?

3151
01:49:29,100 --> 01:49:30,000
>> I mean, I think this is a,

3152
01:49:30,000 --> 01:49:33,100
you know, a lot is a creature

3153
01:49:33,100 --> 01:49:34,100
of what this original agreement

3154
01:49:34,100 --> 01:49:35,100
was back then.

3155
01:49:35,100 --> 01:49:36,100
>> Let's take it out.

3156
01:49:36,100 --> 01:49:39,100
>> Remove it. Let's remove it.

3157
01:49:39,100 --> 01:49:40,100
>> The peanut gallery

3158
01:49:40,100 --> 01:49:42,100
over here. All right,

3159
01:49:42,100 --> 01:49:43,100
remove that. Let's get the 10

3160
01:49:43,100 --> 01:49:44,100
years in. We don't even need

3161
01:49:44,100 --> 01:49:45,100
to come up with something.

3162
01:49:45,100 --> 01:49:46,100
Let's just remove the whole

3163
01:49:46,100 --> 01:49:48,100
paragraph.

3164
01:49:49,100 --> 01:49:50,100
>> I think we do have a motion

3165
01:49:50,100 --> 01:49:52,100
to postpone first, so. That's

3166
01:49:52,100 --> 01:49:53,100
true.

3167
01:49:53,100 --> 01:49:55,100
>> That is true. Okay. Again,

3168
01:49:55,100 --> 01:49:56,100
I'm happy to

3169
01:49:56,100 --> 01:49:57,100
>> I'm happy to amend all that.

3170
01:49:57,100 --> 01:49:59,100
>> Discussion

3171
01:49:59,100 --> 01:50:01,100
on the motion I get a dispose

3172
01:50:01,100 --> 01:50:02,100
of the motion to postpone

3173
01:50:02,100 --> 01:50:03,100
unless there's more discussion

3174
01:50:03,100 --> 01:50:04,100
on the motion

3175
01:50:04,100 --> 01:50:05,100
to postpone.

3176
01:50:05,100 --> 01:50:06,100
>> Is there any further

3177
01:50:06,100 --> 01:50:07,100
discussion?

3178
01:50:07,100 --> 01:50:09,100
>> Call the roll.

3179
01:50:11,100 --> 01:50:12,100
>> What are we voting on?

3180
01:50:12,100 --> 01:50:14,100
>> Motion to postpone.

3181
01:50:15,100 --> 01:50:17,100
>> [CALLING ROLL]

3182
01:50:29,100 --> 01:50:30,100
>> Motion.

3183
01:50:30,100 --> 01:50:32,100
>> So the motion fails.

3184
01:50:32,100 --> 01:50:33,100
>> All right, let's get back

3185
01:50:33,100 --> 01:50:35,100
to the motion that okay, that

3186
01:50:35,100 --> 01:50:38,100
with the adjustments. And you

3187
01:50:38,100 --> 01:50:41,100
want to add you want to add

3188
01:50:41,100 --> 01:50:43,100
removing the contract clause

3189
01:50:43,100 --> 01:50:44,100
where they have the right

3190
01:50:44,100 --> 01:50:46,100
to

3191
01:50:47,100 --> 01:50:48,100
>> I want to amend my original

3192
01:50:48,100 --> 01:50:50,100
motion to Whatever it was, to

3193
01:50:50,100 --> 01:50:52,100
include whatever paragraph.

3194
01:50:52,100 --> 01:50:54,100
>> Why don't we do this?

3195
01:50:54,100 --> 01:50:57,601
Wait, wait. Why don't we do

3196
01:50:58,100 --> 01:50:59,100
this? Go through it all. Go

3197
01:50:59,100 --> 01:51:02,100
through it all. No. Okay. And

3198
01:51:02,100 --> 01:51:05,100
when you do the edits

3199
01:51:07,100 --> 01:51:08,100
on the fly like this, go

3200
01:51:08,100 --> 01:51:10,100
through it all and then move

3201
01:51:10,100 --> 01:51:11,100
to adopt it as edited. That's

3202
01:51:11,100 --> 01:51:12,100
the cleanest way.

3203
01:51:12,100 --> 01:51:13,100
>> We've addressed a lot

3204
01:51:13,100 --> 01:51:14,100
of your issues, right?

3205
01:51:14,100 --> 01:51:15,100
>> Do all your changes. My

3206
01:51:15,100 --> 01:51:16,100
original.

3207
01:51:16,100 --> 01:51:17,100
>> Then I need to withdraw my

3208
01:51:17,100 --> 01:51:18,100
amendment. Yes. Motion and and.

3209
01:51:18,100 --> 01:51:21,100
So my new motion is to make

3210
01:51:21,100 --> 01:51:22,100
edits here as best as we can

3211
01:51:22,100 --> 01:51:24,100
and And then move forward

3212
01:51:24,100 --> 01:51:25,100
with that to be adopted. And

3213
01:51:25,100 --> 01:51:27,401
readopt the amended motion.

3214
01:51:30,100 --> 01:51:31,100
>> So withdraw your prior

3215
01:51:31,100 --> 01:51:32,100
motion.

3216
01:51:32,100 --> 01:51:33,100
>> I'd like to withdraw my

3217
01:51:33,100 --> 01:51:34,100
prior motion.

3218
01:51:34,100 --> 01:51:35,100
>> And whoever seconded,

3219
01:51:35,100 --> 01:51:36,100
withdraw your second.

3220
01:51:36,100 --> 01:51:38,100
>> I withdraw my second.

3221
01:51:38,100 --> 01:51:40,100
>> And then I would like

3222
01:51:40,100 --> 01:51:41,100
to make a motion to

3223
01:51:41,100 --> 01:51:42,100
>> Wait, wait, wait. Don't you

3224
01:51:42,100 --> 01:51:43,100
want to go through So you want

3225
01:51:43,100 --> 01:51:44,100
to go through it first,

3226
01:51:44,100 --> 01:51:45,100
make all your changes,

3227
01:51:45,100 --> 01:51:47,100
and then move

3228
01:51:47,100 --> 01:51:48,100
to adopt it as amended?

3229
01:51:48,100 --> 01:51:49,100
>> Yes. So the contract

3230
01:51:49,100 --> 01:51:50,100
>> Yeah, yeah. Okay, so go

3231
01:51:50,100 --> 01:51:51,100
through your changes now.

3232
01:51:51,100 --> 01:51:52,100
>> Get rid

3233
01:51:52,100 --> 01:51:54,100
of that one where they have

3234
01:51:54,100 --> 01:51:55,100
to approve the contract.

3235
01:51:55,100 --> 01:51:57,100
>> What?

3236
01:51:57,100 --> 01:51:58,100
>> Do, do we want to start

3237
01:51:58,100 --> 01:51:59,100
at the beginning and work

3238
01:51:59,100 --> 01:52:00,100
through it, or do you want me

3239
01:52:00,100 --> 01:52:01,100
to just jump around as you guys

3240
01:52:01,100 --> 01:52:02,100
point something out?

3241
01:52:02,100 --> 01:52:04,100
>> I would like to start

3242
01:52:04,100 --> 01:52:05,100
at the beginning and work

3243
01:52:05,100 --> 01:52:06,100
through so we don't miss

3244
01:52:06,100 --> 01:52:07,100
anything.

3245
01:52:07,100 --> 01:52:09,100
>> Certainly, certainly.

3246
01:52:22,100 --> 01:52:23,100
>> You know, I'm feeling the

3247
01:52:23,100 --> 01:52:25,100
room and we all kind

3248
01:52:25,100 --> 01:52:26,100
of feel it that way too. We

3249
01:52:26,100 --> 01:52:28,100
have no idea what provisions

3250
01:52:28,100 --> 01:52:30,401
we're talking about now.

3251
01:52:34,100 --> 01:52:35,100
>> That's why we're here.

3252
01:52:35,100 --> 01:52:37,100
>> I'm feeling the room. We

3253
01:52:37,100 --> 01:52:39,100
have no idea because we have

3254
01:52:39,100 --> 01:52:40,100
heard nothing about whether

3255
01:52:40,100 --> 01:52:42,100
these things would be approved

3256
01:52:42,100 --> 01:52:43,100
or not when we have presented

3257
01:52:43,100 --> 01:52:45,100
to you guys before. In fact,

3258
01:52:45,100 --> 01:52:46,100
we've heard that they are that

3259
01:52:46,100 --> 01:52:48,100
no one is interested

3260
01:52:48,100 --> 01:52:50,100
in improving it. And we heard

3261
01:52:50,100 --> 01:52:52,401
tonight from public speakers

3262
01:52:53,100 --> 01:52:55,100
that public speakers didn't

3263
01:52:55,100 --> 01:52:57,100
want to approve this. So we're

3264
01:52:57,100 --> 01:52:59,100
going to try

3265
01:52:59,100 --> 01:53:00,100
to improve this. I'm sorry. So

3266
01:53:00,100 --> 01:53:02,100
it is agreeable to everyone

3267
01:53:02,100 --> 01:53:03,100
on our side with an idea that

3268
01:53:03,100 --> 01:53:05,100
we will send that to the

3269
01:53:05,100 --> 01:53:06,100
village and see what parts they

3270
01:53:06,100 --> 01:53:09,100
will are willing to approve.

3271
01:53:09,100 --> 01:53:11,100
And if there are sticking

3272
01:53:11,100 --> 01:53:13,100
points on some parts,

3273
01:53:13,100 --> 01:53:15,401
then we'll come back

3274
01:53:16,100 --> 01:53:18,401
in an agenda meeting

3275
01:53:23,100 --> 01:53:25,100
with both groups to discuss

3276
01:53:25,100 --> 01:53:27,100
those sticking points. The

3277
01:53:27,100 --> 01:53:28,100
parts we agree on,

3278
01:53:28,100 --> 01:53:30,401
we'll just agree on.

3279
01:53:37,100 --> 01:53:38,100
>> Are there any proposed

3280
01:53:38,100 --> 01:53:39,100
changes

3281
01:53:39,100 --> 01:53:41,100
to the recital section?

3282
01:53:41,100 --> 01:53:43,100
>> No.

3283
01:53:44,100 --> 01:53:46,401
>> Okay, hearing none, on

3284
01:53:49,100 --> 01:53:51,100
to paragraph 1, grant of

3285
01:53:51,100 --> 01:53:54,100
license and use. I imagine the

3286
01:53:54,100 --> 01:53:57,100
first one we have is

3287
01:54:04,100 --> 01:54:05,100
>> or sorry, I wish I could see

3288
01:54:05,100 --> 01:54:08,100
this as a single page.

3289
01:54:14,100 --> 01:54:15,100
>> There we go. Okay.

3290
01:54:15,100 --> 01:54:17,100
>> Anything for paragraph 1,

3291
01:54:17,100 --> 01:54:20,100
grant of license and use?

3292
01:54:20,100 --> 01:54:22,100
>> I guess that's my question.

3293
01:54:22,100 --> 01:54:23,100
It states there its hours

3294
01:54:23,100 --> 01:54:25,100
from January 1st to May 31st.

3295
01:54:25,100 --> 01:54:28,100
So what's the use agreement,

3296
01:54:28,100 --> 01:54:31,100
if that is an agreement

3297
01:54:33,100 --> 01:54:34,100
for the use of the baseball

3298
01:54:34,100 --> 01:54:36,100
field?

3299
01:54:39,100 --> 01:54:40,100
>> I believe it's really just a

3300
01:54:40,100 --> 01:54:41,100
calendar. I think this is as I

3301
01:54:41,100 --> 01:54:42,100
understand it,

3302
01:54:42,100 --> 01:54:44,100
this is essentially Okay. Am I

3303
01:54:44,100 --> 01:54:46,100
good to move

3304
01:54:53,100 --> 01:54:54,100
to the next section?

3305
01:54:54,100 --> 01:54:56,100
>> Yes.

3306
01:54:56,100 --> 01:54:57,100
>> Okay. On

3307
01:54:57,100 --> 01:54:59,401
to the next section,

3308
01:55:01,100 --> 01:55:02,100
which is number 2, license fee.

3309
01:55:02,100 --> 01:55:05,100
I don't imagine that there's

3310
01:55:07,100 --> 01:55:08,100
any changes there. Okay. On

3311
01:55:08,100 --> 01:55:11,100
to Section 3 term, we have the

3312
01:55:11,100 --> 01:55:13,100
initial use term and renewal

3313
01:55:13,100 --> 01:55:15,100
options.

3314
01:55:18,100 --> 01:55:19,100
>> Well, this is a part I want

3315
01:55:19,100 --> 01:55:21,100
to look at.

3316
01:55:23,100 --> 01:55:24,100
>> Yeah, so again, this is

3317
01:55:24,100 --> 01:55:26,100
really just saying that it's a

3318
01:55:26,100 --> 01:55:28,401
20-year initial period starting

3319
01:55:29,100 --> 01:55:32,100
on July 7th with 2 automatic

3320
01:55:32,100 --> 01:55:34,100
renewals for 10 years each.

3321
01:55:34,100 --> 01:55:37,100
And it just gives the village

3322
01:55:37,100 --> 01:55:39,100
the option to, just basically

3323
01:55:39,100 --> 01:55:42,100
rescind the renewal on 3 years'

3324
01:55:45,100 --> 01:55:47,100
notice. Really, it's,

3325
01:55:47,100 --> 01:55:49,100
it's kind

3326
01:55:49,100 --> 01:55:50,100
of just extra language. The,

3327
01:55:50,100 --> 01:55:54,100
the point I would like to get

3328
01:55:54,100 --> 01:55:56,100
across here is that the

3329
01:55:56,100 --> 01:55:57,100
termination provision is really

3330
01:55:57,100 --> 01:55:59,100
the main one to look at, and

3331
01:55:59,100 --> 01:56:00,100
that is the one that just says

3332
01:56:00,100 --> 01:56:01,100
they can terminate at any time

3333
01:56:01,100 --> 01:56:03,100
on 3 years' notice.

3334
01:56:04,100 --> 01:56:05,100
>> Yeah, the initial use term

3335
01:56:05,100 --> 01:56:07,100
is fine. I don't like the

3336
01:56:07,100 --> 01:56:09,401
language regarding provided in

3337
01:56:13,100 --> 01:56:14,100
the other paragraphs because

3338
01:56:14,100 --> 01:56:16,100
I'm not happy

3339
01:56:16,100 --> 01:56:17,100
with the other paragraphs. So

3340
01:56:17,100 --> 01:56:18,100
that's my only issue

3341
01:56:18,100 --> 01:56:20,100
with the initial use term.

3342
01:56:20,100 --> 01:56:21,100
Like, it's referencing the

3343
01:56:21,100 --> 01:56:22,100
other paragraphs that everybody

3344
01:56:22,100 --> 01:56:23,100
on the board wants

3345
01:56:23,100 --> 01:56:25,100
to change.

3346
01:56:25,100 --> 01:56:27,100
>> The other paragraph.

3347
01:56:31,100 --> 01:56:34,100
>> So how about this? How, how

3348
01:56:34,100 --> 01:56:36,100
many years advance notice would

3349
01:56:36,100 --> 01:56:38,100
this board like either party

3350
01:56:38,100 --> 01:56:39,100
to be required

3351
01:56:39,100 --> 01:56:42,100
to provide? I believe 5 was

3352
01:56:43,100 --> 01:56:44,100
what you guys approved in

3353
01:56:44,100 --> 01:56:45,100
March, just

3354
01:56:45,100 --> 01:56:47,100
for reference.

3355
01:56:47,100 --> 01:56:49,100
>> 5 years notice

3356
01:56:49,100 --> 01:56:51,100
after the 10-year mark,

3357
01:56:51,100 --> 01:56:53,100
right? We have to have 10

3358
01:56:53,100 --> 01:56:54,100
years. I don't care that

3359
01:56:54,100 --> 01:56:56,100
You're mixing the notice

3360
01:56:56,100 --> 01:56:59,100
with the time. We have to get

3361
01:56:59,100 --> 01:57:02,100
10 years. Now, if they're going

3362
01:57:02,100 --> 01:57:04,401
to throw us out,

3363
01:57:05,100 --> 01:57:06,100
I don't care if it's 1 or 2

3364
01:57:06,100 --> 01:57:07,100
years. It's got to well,

3365
01:57:07,100 --> 01:57:09,100
it's got

3366
01:57:09,100 --> 01:57:11,100
to be probably more than a

3367
01:57:11,100 --> 01:57:13,100
year. But why would they tell

3368
01:57:13,100 --> 01:57:15,100
us if we sign the thing today

3369
01:57:15,100 --> 01:57:16,100
and we're starting on 10 years,

3370
01:57:16,100 --> 01:57:18,100
do you really think that they

3371
01:57:18,100 --> 01:57:19,100
would come

3372
01:57:19,100 --> 01:57:21,100
to us the next year and say,

3373
01:57:21,100 --> 01:57:24,100
we want you out. And so whether

3374
01:57:24,100 --> 01:57:26,100
it's 5 years, I mean, 5 years,

3375
01:57:26,100 --> 01:57:28,100
if it's 5 years, it's going to

3376
01:57:28,100 --> 01:57:30,100
be a different council that

3377
01:57:30,100 --> 01:57:32,100
said that'll be sitting when,

3378
01:57:32,100 --> 01:57:33,100
when the 5 years is up and they

3379
01:57:33,100 --> 01:57:35,100
might change their mind. It's

3380
01:57:35,100 --> 01:57:37,100
just as long as we have 10

3381
01:57:37,100 --> 01:57:38,100
years, I don't care how long

3382
01:57:38,100 --> 01:57:39,100
they give us to tell us,

3383
01:57:39,100 --> 01:57:41,100
as long as we have 10 Right.

3384
01:57:41,100 --> 01:57:43,100
In there, that they cannot take

3385
01:57:43,100 --> 01:57:45,100
us out.

3386
01:57:53,100 --> 01:57:54,100
>> Okay. That would probably be

3387
01:57:54,100 --> 01:57:55,100
addressed

3388
01:57:55,100 --> 01:57:56,100
in the termination provision,

3389
01:57:56,100 --> 01:57:57,100
but again right.

3390
01:57:57,100 --> 01:57:59,100
>> That's where it's going

3391
01:57:59,100 --> 01:58:01,401
to be, not here.

3392
01:58:02,100 --> 01:58:04,100
>> Right. Right.

3393
01:58:05,100 --> 01:58:06,100
But just as far as, you know,

3394
01:58:06,100 --> 01:58:08,100
assuming the, you know, 10

3395
01:58:08,100 --> 01:58:09,100
years passes without a hitch,

3396
01:58:09,100 --> 01:58:11,100
what do we want

3397
01:58:11,100 --> 01:58:13,100
for the advance notice? Are you

3398
01:58:13,100 --> 01:58:14,100
guys okay with 3 years,

3399
01:58:14,100 --> 01:58:15,100
or do you want it to be 5

3400
01:58:15,100 --> 01:58:16,100
years?

3401
01:58:16,100 --> 01:58:17,100
>> I think we need 5 years to

3402
01:58:17,100 --> 01:58:18,100
build a baseball field

3403
01:58:18,100 --> 01:58:19,100
somewhere else.

3404
01:58:19,100 --> 01:58:20,100
>> Yeah. The ILA says what?

3405
01:58:20,100 --> 01:58:22,100
The original this I thought we

3406
01:58:22,100 --> 01:58:24,100
were changing from 5 to 3

3407
01:58:24,100 --> 01:58:25,100
to make it to align it

3408
01:58:25,100 --> 01:58:28,100
to the original ILA. Is that is

3409
01:58:28,100 --> 01:58:30,100
my memory incorrect?

3410
01:58:31,100 --> 01:58:32,100
>> Well, the license agreement

3411
01:58:32,100 --> 01:58:34,100
that the village passed in

3412
01:58:34,100 --> 01:58:37,100
January was 2 years, and then

3413
01:58:39,100 --> 01:58:40,100
This board went to 5 years in

3414
01:58:40,100 --> 01:58:42,100
the version that you guys

3415
01:58:42,100 --> 01:58:44,100
passed in March, so I think 3

3416
01:58:44,100 --> 01:58:45,100
years is kind of just a middle

3417
01:58:45,100 --> 01:58:47,100
ground.

3418
01:58:48,100 --> 01:58:50,100
>> I think 3 is okay.

3419
01:58:50,100 --> 01:58:51,100
>> We need 5 years to rebuild

3420
01:58:51,100 --> 01:58:52,100
and find another property.

3421
01:58:52,100 --> 01:58:54,100
>> So we want 5 years. We want

3422
01:58:54,100 --> 01:58:56,401
it at 5. 5 years' notice.

3423
01:59:02,100 --> 01:59:03,100
>> 60 months.

3424
01:59:03,100 --> 01:59:06,100
>> If you do the math.

3425
01:59:21,100 --> 01:59:23,100
>> Which means if we're here

3426
01:59:23,100 --> 01:59:26,100
10 years and at that the end

3427
01:59:26,100 --> 01:59:27,100
of 10 years they say we want

3428
01:59:27,100 --> 01:59:28,100
you out, we have another 5

3429
01:59:28,100 --> 01:59:30,100
years.

3430
01:59:30,100 --> 01:59:32,100
>> Right.

3431
01:59:33,100 --> 01:59:34,100
>> But they cannot so if they

3432
01:59:34,100 --> 01:59:36,100
wanted to throw us

3433
01:59:36,100 --> 01:59:37,100
out the earliest possible,

3434
01:59:37,100 --> 01:59:39,100
they would have to, 5 years

3435
01:59:39,100 --> 01:59:41,100
into it, say to us,

3436
01:59:41,100 --> 01:59:42,100
we want you out in 5 years.

3437
01:59:42,100 --> 01:59:44,100
>> Right? That's the dirt.

3438
01:59:44,100 --> 01:59:46,100
That's what I want,

3439
01:59:46,100 --> 01:59:47,100
that we are guaranteed 10

3440
01:59:47,100 --> 01:59:49,100
years.

3441
01:59:49,100 --> 01:59:50,100
>> I mean, if you're reading

3442
01:59:50,100 --> 01:59:52,100
the law

3443
01:59:52,100 --> 01:59:53,100
The initial term is 20

3444
01:59:53,100 --> 01:59:54,100
years.

3445
01:59:54,100 --> 01:59:56,100
>> Yeah, but we have to renew

3446
01:59:56,100 --> 01:59:57,100
it.

3447
01:59:57,100 --> 01:59:58,100
>> Right. I imagine the way I

3448
01:59:58,100 --> 01:59:59,100
imagine that is just revising

3449
01:59:59,100 --> 02:00:00,100
the termination provision,

3450
02:00:00,100 --> 02:00:01,100
just putting language in there

3451
02:00:01,100 --> 02:00:02,100
that you know says something

3452
02:00:02,100 --> 02:00:04,100
to the effect of

3453
02:00:04,100 --> 02:00:05,100
after a period of ten years,

3454
02:00:05,100 --> 02:00:07,100
the parties can terminate at

3455
02:00:07,100 --> 02:00:09,100
any time upon five years

3456
02:00:09,100 --> 02:00:11,100
advance notice. Basically,

3457
02:00:11,100 --> 02:00:13,100
that's that's what I imagine we

3458
02:00:13,100 --> 02:00:14,100
will do when we get

3459
02:00:14,100 --> 02:00:15,100
to that section.

3460
02:00:15,100 --> 02:00:16,100
>> I'd love to get

3461
02:00:16,100 --> 02:00:18,100
to twenty years, but whatever

3462
02:00:18,100 --> 02:00:19,100
somebody's got something up

3463
02:00:19,100 --> 02:00:20,100
their sleeve that they want

3464
02:00:20,100 --> 02:00:21,100
to do.

3465
02:00:21,100 --> 02:00:22,100
>> This section isn't really

3466
02:00:22,100 --> 02:00:23,100
where you're focused. This

3467
02:00:23,100 --> 02:00:24,100
section here, if you read it.

3468
02:00:24,100 --> 02:00:25,100
there it's a 20-year term that

3469
02:00:25,100 --> 02:00:27,100
can be terminated with 36

3470
02:00:27,100 --> 02:00:28,100
months' notice. So it says

3471
02:00:28,100 --> 02:00:29,100
license not material upon the

3472
02:00:29,100 --> 02:00:31,100
expiration

3473
02:00:31,100 --> 02:00:33,401
of the initial period,

3474
02:00:34,100 --> 02:00:35,100
which is 20 years, it should be

3475
02:00:35,100 --> 02:00:36,100
automatically extended upon the

3476
02:00:36,100 --> 02:00:37,100
same terms and conditions

3477
02:00:37,100 --> 02:00:38,100
for up to 2 additional 10-year

3478
02:00:38,100 --> 02:00:39,100
periods unless the licensor

3479
02:00:39,100 --> 02:00:41,100
delivers written notice 5 years

3480
02:00:41,100 --> 02:00:43,100
in advance.

3481
02:00:43,100 --> 02:00:45,100
So what that says to me,

3482
02:00:45,100 --> 02:00:46,100
and I'm trying to make sure I'm

3483
02:00:46,100 --> 02:00:48,100
reading it right, Is the 20

3484
02:00:48,100 --> 02:00:49,100
years is ours.

3485
02:00:49,100 --> 02:00:51,100
>> But they could throw us out.

3486
02:00:51,100 --> 02:00:52,100
>> They could give you a

3487
02:00:52,100 --> 02:00:54,100
termination.

3488
02:00:54,100 --> 02:00:55,100
>> Well, that's a different

3489
02:00:55,100 --> 02:00:56,100
section.

3490
02:00:56,100 --> 02:00:57,100
>> Get rid of that.

3491
02:00:57,100 --> 02:00:58,100
>> This section says 20 years

3492
02:00:58,100 --> 02:00:59,100
is ours, provided they give us

3493
02:00:59,100 --> 02:01:00,100
36 months or 60 months notice,

3494
02:01:00,100 --> 02:01:01,100
whatever. So the initial term

3495
02:01:01,100 --> 02:01:02,100
is 20 years. The real problem

3496
02:01:02,100 --> 02:01:03,100
is the termination section,

3497
02:01:03,100 --> 02:01:05,100
correct?

3498
02:01:05,100 --> 02:01:06,100
>> Yes.

3499
02:01:06,100 --> 02:01:07,100
>> Correct.

3500
02:01:07,100 --> 02:01:08,100
>> Okay, so

3501
02:01:08,100 --> 02:01:09,100
>> But we do want the 60 months

3502
02:01:09,100 --> 02:01:11,100
in the renewal.

3503
02:01:11,100 --> 02:01:12,100
>> Fine.

3504
02:01:12,100 --> 02:01:13,100
>> Right.

3505
02:01:13,100 --> 02:01:14,100
>> But your initial period is

3506
02:01:14,100 --> 02:01:15,100
20 years.

3507
02:01:15,100 --> 02:01:17,100
>> Right.

3508
02:01:17,100 --> 02:01:18,100
>> But whenever they don't

3509
02:01:18,100 --> 02:01:19,100
renew, we still have to find

3510
02:01:19,100 --> 02:01:20,100
and build another baseball

3511
02:01:20,100 --> 02:01:21,100
field, and we need 5 years

3512
02:01:21,100 --> 02:01:23,100
for that. So that would be 60

3513
02:01:23,100 --> 02:01:25,100
months.

3514
02:01:26,100 --> 02:01:27,100
>> If the term with this 20

3515
02:01:27,100 --> 02:01:28,100
years, they could still the way

3516
02:01:28,100 --> 02:01:29,100
it is written now,

3517
02:01:29,100 --> 02:01:30,100
they could throw us out.

3518
02:01:30,100 --> 02:01:32,100
>> That's, not this section.

3519
02:01:32,100 --> 02:01:33,100
>> The termination section is

3520
02:01:33,100 --> 02:01:35,100
where you want

3521
02:01:35,100 --> 02:01:36,100
to focus on.

3522
02:01:36,100 --> 02:01:37,100
>> For this section,

3523
02:01:37,100 --> 02:01:38,100
I think the 3 years is okay.

3524
02:01:38,100 --> 02:01:39,100
>> 20 years, 5 years notice.

3525
02:01:39,100 --> 02:01:40,100
And the 5 years' notice applies

3526
02:01:40,100 --> 02:01:42,100
to the not initial term. It

3527
02:01:42,100 --> 02:01:43,100
applies to the 2nd and 3rd

3528
02:01:43,100 --> 02:01:44,100
renewals.

3529
02:01:44,100 --> 02:01:45,100
>> Right, exactly.

3530
02:01:45,100 --> 02:01:46,100
>> So your issue is going

3531
02:01:46,100 --> 02:01:47,100
to come

3532
02:01:47,100 --> 02:01:48,100
at the termination session, not

3533
02:01:48,100 --> 02:01:49,100
here.

3534
02:01:49,100 --> 02:01:50,100
>> I think the fee renewal

3535
02:01:50,100 --> 02:01:51,100
options, in my opinion,

3536
02:01:51,100 --> 02:01:53,100
it should be 60 months.

3537
02:01:53,100 --> 02:01:56,601
>> Yeah. I think we this is

3538
02:01:59,100 --> 02:02:03,100
like the one thing that we have

3539
02:02:03,100 --> 02:02:05,100
Compromised on

3540
02:02:05,100 --> 02:02:07,401
through negotiations is the 5

3541
02:02:09,100 --> 02:02:11,100
and the 2, and we are going

3542
02:02:11,100 --> 02:02:12,100
back to 5, so we are sort of

3543
02:02:12,100 --> 02:02:14,100
doing the same thing that we

3544
02:02:14,100 --> 02:02:16,100
were saying was happening

3545
02:02:16,100 --> 02:02:19,100
before. So if that is a

3546
02:02:19,100 --> 02:02:21,100
sticking point, you know,

3547
02:02:21,100 --> 02:02:22,100
I mean

3548
02:02:22,100 --> 02:02:25,100
>> It is a sticking point for

3549
02:02:25,100 --> 02:02:27,100
me because we have been what is

3550
02:02:27,100 --> 02:02:28,100
essentially bargaining

3551
02:02:28,100 --> 02:02:29,100
against ourselves. We keep

3552
02:02:29,100 --> 02:02:30,100
giving them new options and new

3553
02:02:30,100 --> 02:02:32,100
proposals.

3554
02:02:37,100 --> 02:02:40,100
>> if I may take a little straw

3555
02:02:40,100 --> 02:02:42,100
poll. If it's 10 years initial

3556
02:02:42,100 --> 02:02:44,401
guaranteed, what is each

3557
02:02:45,100 --> 02:02:46,100
of yours' vote

3558
02:02:46,100 --> 02:02:48,100
on a 3-year notice

3559
02:02:48,100 --> 02:02:50,100
of termination?

3560
02:02:50,100 --> 02:02:51,100
>> This is 20 years initial

3561
02:02:51,100 --> 02:02:53,100
guarantee, right?

3562
02:02:53,100 --> 02:02:54,100
>> Right.

3563
02:02:54,100 --> 02:02:56,100
>> You guys suggested 10.

3564
02:02:56,100 --> 02:02:58,100
>> Okay.

3565
02:02:58,100 --> 02:02:59,100
>> Again, just stick with me

3566
02:02:59,100 --> 02:03:00,100
on the concept,

3567
02:03:00,100 --> 02:03:02,100
not the language for now,

3568
02:03:02,100 --> 02:03:04,100
for purposes of this. So if you

3569
02:03:04,100 --> 02:03:05,100
get it in there that you have

3570
02:03:05,100 --> 02:03:07,100
10 years guaranteed use

3571
02:03:07,100 --> 02:03:09,100
of the field, how much advance

3572
02:03:09,100 --> 02:03:11,100
notice do you want

3573
02:03:11,100 --> 02:03:12,100
after that? What is everybody

3574
02:03:12,100 --> 02:03:14,100
what's it whether it's 3 or 5?

3575
02:03:14,100 --> 02:03:15,100
>> I'm at 5 simply because

3576
02:03:15,100 --> 02:03:16,100
there's no way for us

3577
02:03:16,100 --> 02:03:17,100
to build a new baseball field

3578
02:03:17,100 --> 02:03:19,100
without 5 years. That's the

3579
02:03:19,100 --> 02:03:21,401
only reason I'm at 5.

3580
02:03:25,100 --> 02:03:26,100
>> You're at 5, you bet.

3581
02:03:26,100 --> 02:03:28,100
>> I'll go with 5. Leave it

3582
02:03:28,100 --> 02:03:30,100
at 5.

3583
02:03:30,100 --> 02:03:32,100
>> Ok. All right.

3584
02:03:32,100 --> 02:03:33,100
>> Well, I think we can move

3585
02:03:33,100 --> 02:03:35,100
on to the next section then,

3586
02:03:35,100 --> 02:03:36,100
which is construction and

3587
02:03:36,100 --> 02:03:38,100
renovation of improvements.

3588
02:03:38,100 --> 02:03:40,100
Any suggested edits as far as A

3589
02:03:40,100 --> 02:03:42,100
or B, since they are what fit

3590
02:03:42,100 --> 02:03:45,100
on the screen right now?

3591
02:03:45,100 --> 02:03:48,601
>> So one of the things I've

3592
02:03:53,100 --> 02:03:54,100
been hearing is

3593
02:03:54,100 --> 02:03:57,601
about bleachers. So I guess my

3594
02:03:58,100 --> 02:04:00,100
question is, are we fine just

3595
02:04:00,100 --> 02:04:02,100
not adding bleachers

3596
02:04:04,100 --> 02:04:06,401
to the baseball field?

3597
02:04:07,100 --> 02:04:09,100
>> My understanding is that

3598
02:04:09,100 --> 02:04:10,100
bleachers aren't a part

3599
02:04:10,100 --> 02:04:11,100
of this phase of construction.

3600
02:04:11,100 --> 02:04:14,100
>> I understand that, but one

3601
02:04:14,100 --> 02:04:16,100
of the Ron, don't be rude,

3602
02:04:16,100 --> 02:04:19,100
please. You said bleachers were

3603
02:04:21,100 --> 02:04:23,100
one of the big problems, so now

3604
02:04:23,100 --> 02:04:25,100
bleachers are no longer an

3605
02:04:25,100 --> 02:04:27,401
issue on the field?

3606
02:04:29,100 --> 02:04:30,100
>> I said the placement

3607
02:04:30,100 --> 02:04:31,100
of the bleachers in the plan

3608
02:04:31,100 --> 02:04:33,100
with the stadium were an issue.

3609
02:04:33,100 --> 02:04:34,100
>> So it's not

3610
02:04:34,100 --> 02:04:35,100
about the safety or the number

3611
02:04:35,100 --> 02:04:36,100
of bleachers that are currently

3612
02:04:36,100 --> 02:04:38,100
there?

3613
02:04:40,100 --> 02:04:41,100
>> Once we my understanding is

3614
02:04:41,100 --> 02:04:43,401
once we build bleachers,

3615
02:04:44,100 --> 02:04:47,100
we have to build bathrooms.

3616
02:04:47,100 --> 02:04:48,100
That's what happened with

3617
02:04:48,100 --> 02:04:49,100
Tommy Roberts. So if we leave

3618
02:04:49,100 --> 02:04:51,100
the bleachers,

3619
02:04:51,100 --> 02:04:52,100
we can't do the bleachers

3620
02:04:52,100 --> 02:04:53,100
without the bathroom. So it

3621
02:04:53,100 --> 02:04:55,100
makes sense for the bleachers

3622
02:04:55,100 --> 02:04:56,100
to come

3623
02:04:56,100 --> 02:04:58,100
in as the amenities later.

3624
02:04:58,100 --> 02:05:00,100
>> Okay. Move on.

3625
02:05:07,100 --> 02:05:09,100
>> How about 4C?

3626
02:05:17,100 --> 02:05:19,100
>> Okay. Going back

3627
02:05:19,100 --> 02:05:21,100
to improvements,

3628
02:05:21,100 --> 02:05:23,100
we are solely responsible for

3629
02:05:23,100 --> 02:05:25,100
and shall have sole discretion

3630
02:05:25,100 --> 02:05:27,401
to determine when the

3631
02:05:28,100 --> 02:05:29,100
improvements are in need

3632
02:05:29,100 --> 02:05:30,100
of modification, renovation,

3633
02:05:30,100 --> 02:05:31,100
and, or replacement. So that is

3634
02:05:31,100 --> 02:05:34,100
not a village option? Because

3635
02:05:34,100 --> 02:05:36,100
I'm fine with that.

3636
02:05:36,100 --> 02:05:38,100
>> That's correct.

3637
02:05:41,100 --> 02:05:42,100
>> Okay. Move on.

3638
02:05:42,100 --> 02:05:44,100
>> I don't

3639
02:05:44,100 --> 02:05:45,100
>> I just, you know,

3640
02:05:45,100 --> 02:05:46,100
logistically, because this is a

3641
02:05:46,100 --> 02:05:47,100
narrowed-down license agreement

3642
02:05:47,100 --> 02:05:48,100
to just this baseball field and

3643
02:05:48,100 --> 02:05:50,100
because we have a time

3644
02:05:50,100 --> 02:05:52,401
constraint, I, you know,

3645
02:05:56,100 --> 02:05:57,100
I wonder if we should go from

3646
02:05:57,100 --> 02:05:59,100
If it's reasonable to go from

3647
02:05:59,100 --> 02:06:01,100
60 to 30 days so that we can

3648
02:06:01,100 --> 02:06:03,100
get the plan the approvals done

3649
02:06:03,100 --> 02:06:05,401
in a timely manner.

3650
02:06:09,100 --> 02:06:10,100
>> You know what,

3651
02:06:10,100 --> 02:06:11,100
you don't need to put it

3652
02:06:11,100 --> 02:06:12,100
in there.

3653
02:06:12,100 --> 02:06:13,100
>> Okay. We'll just encourage

3654
02:06:13,100 --> 02:06:14,100
Everybody wants things done as

3655
02:06:14,100 --> 02:06:15,100
fast as possible.

3656
02:06:15,100 --> 02:06:17,100
>> Okay. That's fine. I don't

3657
02:06:17,100 --> 02:06:18,100
think we need

3658
02:06:18,100 --> 02:06:20,100
to write that out.

3659
02:06:20,100 --> 02:06:22,100
>> Okay. Contractor, I believe

3660
02:06:22,100 --> 02:06:24,100
I believe the request was

3661
02:06:24,100 --> 02:06:26,100
to delete that section.

3662
02:06:26,100 --> 02:06:28,100
>> Is that correct? Yep. Get

3663
02:06:28,100 --> 02:06:32,100
rid of it. You can do that

3664
02:06:32,100 --> 02:06:35,100
right now with the magic.

3665
02:06:38,100 --> 02:06:40,100
>> Track changes.

3666
02:06:41,100 --> 02:06:44,100
>> I sure am, Pat. So has the

3667
02:06:44,100 --> 02:06:46,401
village already had their

3668
02:06:47,100 --> 02:06:49,401
required Or optional right

3669
02:06:50,100 --> 02:06:51,100
to review the design

3670
02:06:51,100 --> 02:06:53,100
in an open public meeting.

3671
02:06:53,100 --> 02:06:56,100
Have they done that already?

3672
02:06:57,100 --> 02:06:58,100
>> I do not personally know

3673
02:06:58,100 --> 02:07:00,100
that.

3674
02:07:02,100 --> 02:07:03,100
>> That's their thing.

3675
02:07:03,100 --> 02:07:05,401
>> Village manager is here.

3676
02:07:07,100 --> 02:07:08,100
Did you already have an open

3677
02:07:08,100 --> 02:07:10,100
meeting on the design?

3678
02:07:10,100 --> 02:07:12,100
>> I'm asking.

3679
02:07:12,100 --> 02:07:14,100
>> Is he not allowed to talk,

3680
02:07:14,100 --> 02:07:16,100
if I may ask?

3681
02:07:16,100 --> 02:07:17,100
>> The chair has

3682
02:07:17,100 --> 02:07:19,100
to recognize him.

3683
02:07:22,100 --> 02:07:23,100
>> Yeah, I will recognize Ron

3684
02:07:23,100 --> 02:07:24,100
Saunders, Village Manager,

3685
02:07:24,100 --> 02:07:26,100
but let's keep that

3686
02:07:26,100 --> 02:07:29,601
to a minimum. Go ahead, Ron.

3687
02:07:30,100 --> 02:07:31,100
>> Just asking the one

3688
02:07:31,100 --> 02:07:33,100
question.

3689
02:07:37,100 --> 02:07:39,100
>> What was the question?

3690
02:07:39,100 --> 02:07:41,100
>> In Paragraph C,

3691
02:07:41,100 --> 02:07:43,100
approved plans, there's a

3692
02:07:43,100 --> 02:07:45,100
paragraph, second paragraph,

3693
02:07:45,100 --> 02:07:46,100
saying that the village shall

3694
02:07:46,100 --> 02:07:47,100
at its sole option have the

3695
02:07:47,100 --> 02:07:49,100
right to review the designs at

3696
02:07:49,100 --> 02:07:50,100
an open public meeting or

3697
02:07:50,100 --> 02:07:51,100
workshop and

3698
02:07:51,100 --> 02:07:53,401
to solicit community input

3699
02:07:54,100 --> 02:07:56,100
in the designs. Has that been

3700
02:07:56,100 --> 02:07:57,100
done? Because that affects

3701
02:07:57,100 --> 02:08:00,100
whether or not I'm going to

3702
02:08:00,100 --> 02:08:02,100
approve the GMP.

3703
02:08:02,100 --> 02:08:03,100
>> I believe this language was

3704
02:08:03,100 --> 02:08:04,100
put

3705
02:08:04,100 --> 02:08:05,100
in there when we were looking

3706
02:08:05,100 --> 02:08:07,100
at the concession building.

3707
02:08:07,100 --> 02:08:08,100
Now that the building is no

3708
02:08:08,100 --> 02:08:10,100
longer in consideration, I

3709
02:08:10,100 --> 02:08:11,100
don't think that's applicable.

3710
02:08:11,100 --> 02:08:13,100
Our building officials have

3711
02:08:13,100 --> 02:08:15,100
already been meeting

3712
02:08:15,100 --> 02:08:16,100
with the contractor. And

3713
02:08:16,100 --> 02:08:17,100
by the way, just

3714
02:08:17,100 --> 02:08:18,100
for the record,

3715
02:08:18,100 --> 02:08:19,100
we have no objection to

3716
02:08:19,100 --> 02:08:20,100
Keystar. I assume that's the

3717
02:08:20,100 --> 02:08:21,100
contractor you're talking

3718
02:08:21,100 --> 02:08:22,100
about. We have no problem

3719
02:08:22,100 --> 02:08:23,100
with Keystar, and we've been

3720
02:08:23,100 --> 02:08:24,100
working with them already. I've

3721
02:08:24,100 --> 02:08:25,100
already we've already kind

3722
02:08:25,100 --> 02:08:26,100
of pre-approved the plans for

3723
02:08:26,100 --> 02:08:28,100
the field and the fence and the

3724
02:08:28,100 --> 02:08:30,100
dugout. I think this language

3725
02:08:30,100 --> 02:08:31,100
is more applicable to The

3726
02:08:31,100 --> 02:08:32,100
building where we want

3727
02:08:32,100 --> 02:08:33,100
to input. We don't need the

3728
02:08:33,100 --> 02:08:34,100
building we don't need input

3729
02:08:34,100 --> 02:08:35,100
on the field. So if you take

3730
02:08:35,100 --> 02:08:37,100
out the public meeting,

3731
02:08:37,100 --> 02:08:38,100
I think we would be fine

3732
02:08:38,100 --> 02:08:40,100
with that.

3733
02:08:40,100 --> 02:08:41,100
>> Let's remove those

3734
02:08:41,100 --> 02:08:42,100
paragraphs.

3735
02:08:42,100 --> 02:08:44,100
>> Thank you, Ron.

3736
02:09:21,100 --> 02:09:22,100
>> Is that consistent with what

3737
02:09:22,100 --> 02:09:24,100
you're we're requesting?

3738
02:09:26,100 --> 02:09:27,100
>> Removal of the paragraph

3739
02:09:27,100 --> 02:09:28,100
starting

3740
02:09:28,100 --> 02:09:30,401
with the word prior.

3741
02:09:37,100 --> 02:09:38,100
>> I think you can get rid

3742
02:09:38,100 --> 02:09:39,100
of the whole paragraph.

3743
02:09:39,100 --> 02:09:41,100
>> Right.

3744
02:09:56,100 --> 02:09:57,100
>> Anything for performance or

3745
02:09:57,100 --> 02:09:59,100
construction liens?

3746
02:10:00,100 --> 02:10:01,100
>> Just a quick question.

3747
02:10:01,100 --> 02:10:02,100
We've already noticed them

3748
02:10:02,100 --> 02:10:03,100
with Keystar. That's taken

3749
02:10:03,100 --> 02:10:06,100
place, so we've met paragraph

3750
02:10:07,100 --> 02:10:09,100
D.

3751
02:10:11,100 --> 02:10:12,100
>> D is deleted.

3752
02:10:12,100 --> 02:10:13,100
>> Okay, so that's the one we

3753
02:10:13,100 --> 02:10:14,100
took out.

3754
02:10:14,100 --> 02:10:16,100
>> Yep.

3755
02:10:20,100 --> 02:10:22,100
>> Right. Okay. Performance.

3756
02:10:22,100 --> 02:10:24,401
So everything's 60 days, but

3757
02:10:32,100 --> 02:10:33,100
are we hoping or assuming that

3758
02:10:33,100 --> 02:10:34,100
it won't take 60 days? We're

3759
02:10:34,100 --> 02:10:36,100
just giving them 60 days

3760
02:10:36,100 --> 02:10:38,100
for everything? Because 2

3761
02:10:39,100 --> 02:10:41,100
months, 2 months, 2 months, 2

3762
02:10:41,100 --> 02:10:43,100
months, and wear it next year

3763
02:10:43,100 --> 02:10:45,401
for the baseball field?

3764
02:10:47,100 --> 02:10:49,401
>> You know, quite frankly,

3765
02:10:50,100 --> 02:10:51,100
the village attorney I met

3766
02:10:51,100 --> 02:10:53,100
with on this was not their

3767
02:10:53,100 --> 02:10:55,100
usual attorney, John Quick. It

3768
02:10:55,100 --> 02:10:57,100
was a different one. So I don't

3769
02:10:57,100 --> 02:10:59,100
know how in tune they were

3770
02:10:59,100 --> 02:11:00,100
with what was going on. They

3771
02:11:00,100 --> 02:11:01,100
were insistent

3772
02:11:01,100 --> 02:11:02,100
on this language. But, you

3773
02:11:02,100 --> 02:11:05,100
know, I think, I think it's

3774
02:11:05,100 --> 02:11:06,100
just good faith that everyone's

3775
02:11:06,100 --> 02:11:08,100
moving as fast as possible

3776
02:11:08,100 --> 02:11:09,100
on this.

3777
02:11:09,100 --> 02:11:11,100
>> Okay.

3778
02:11:17,100 --> 02:11:18,100
>> So let's go to the early

3779
02:11:18,100 --> 02:11:20,100
termination payment.

3780
02:11:24,100 --> 02:11:25,100
>> Aye.

3781
02:11:25,100 --> 02:11:26,100
>> Okay.

3782
02:11:26,100 --> 02:11:28,100
>> Everybody's good

3783
02:11:28,100 --> 02:11:29,100
with standards

3784
02:11:29,100 --> 02:11:30,100
of construction and comply with

3785
02:11:30,100 --> 02:11:31,100
applicable law?

3786
02:11:31,100 --> 02:11:33,100
>> I am.

3787
02:11:34,100 --> 02:11:36,100
>> Anybody else?

3788
02:11:36,100 --> 02:11:38,100
>> Everybody's fine.

3789
02:11:38,100 --> 02:11:39,100
>> Okay. Early termination

3790
02:11:39,100 --> 02:11:41,100
payment.

3791
02:11:44,100 --> 02:11:46,100
>> This one you got

3792
02:11:46,100 --> 02:11:48,100
to write correct.

3793
02:11:51,100 --> 02:11:53,100
>> We're going to need an

3794
02:11:53,100 --> 02:11:55,100
amortization amount based

3795
02:11:58,100 --> 02:11:59,100
on different things. If we're

3796
02:11:59,100 --> 02:12:01,100
going to do the turf field

3797
02:12:01,100 --> 02:12:02,100
to the 10 years that it's

3798
02:12:02,100 --> 02:12:04,100
warranted for, because the

3799
02:12:04,100 --> 02:12:05,100
other buildings have much

3800
02:12:05,100 --> 02:12:08,601
longer lives. And this one says

3801
02:12:15,100 --> 02:12:16,100
8 years. It doesn't even do the

3802
02:12:16,100 --> 02:12:17,100
life

3803
02:12:17,100 --> 02:12:19,401
of the baseball field.

3804
02:12:22,100 --> 02:12:24,100
>> Right.

3805
02:12:29,100 --> 02:12:31,100
>> Okay, so what is the period

3806
02:12:31,100 --> 02:12:32,100
of years you would like to go

3807
02:12:32,100 --> 02:12:33,100
off of?

3808
02:12:33,100 --> 02:12:35,100
>> Well, that's what I'm

3809
02:12:35,100 --> 02:12:36,100
saying. 10 years is fine

3810
02:12:36,100 --> 02:12:37,100
for me for the turf field,

3811
02:12:37,100 --> 02:12:38,100
but it shouldn't necessarily be

3812
02:12:38,100 --> 02:12:40,100
for the other improvements 10

3813
02:12:40,100 --> 02:12:42,100
years. Or if they want to make

3814
02:12:42,100 --> 02:12:43,100
it easy and make it one number,

3815
02:12:43,100 --> 02:12:45,100
then we need to figure

3816
02:12:45,100 --> 02:12:46,100
out what the life

3817
02:12:46,100 --> 02:12:47,100
of the fencing, the dugout, and

3818
02:12:47,100 --> 02:12:49,401
all the improvements are.

3819
02:12:50,100 --> 02:12:52,100
>> Well, we can leave that

3820
02:12:52,100 --> 02:12:53,100
at the 20 years.

3821
02:12:53,100 --> 02:12:55,100
>> Okay.

3822
02:13:03,100 --> 02:13:04,100
>> So this is going to 10

3823
02:13:04,100 --> 02:13:06,100
years?

3824
02:13:06,100 --> 02:13:07,100
>> 20.

3825
02:13:07,100 --> 02:13:09,100
>> 20.

3826
02:13:37,100 --> 02:13:39,100
>> Okay. So is that kind of

3827
02:13:39,100 --> 02:13:41,100
like a buyout provision? So

3828
02:13:41,100 --> 02:13:42,100
then

3829
02:13:42,100 --> 02:13:43,100
>> When they own all

3830
02:13:43,100 --> 02:13:45,100
of our improvements, it

3831
02:13:45,100 --> 02:13:46,100
wouldn't matter because then

3832
02:13:46,100 --> 02:13:47,100
they've essentially bought them

3833
02:13:47,100 --> 02:13:49,401
from us? Because J

3834
02:13:53,100 --> 02:13:54,100
Improvements says they get

3835
02:13:54,100 --> 02:13:57,100
to keep and own everything.

3836
02:13:59,100 --> 02:14:00,100
And I don't have a problem

3837
02:14:00,100 --> 02:14:01,100
with that as long as

3838
02:14:01,100 --> 02:14:02,100
>> Right.

3839
02:14:02,100 --> 02:14:05,601
>> That's how it always was. I

3840
02:14:06,100 --> 02:14:08,100
mean, this the concept of this

3841
02:14:08,100 --> 02:14:10,100
early termination period, The

3842
02:14:10,100 --> 02:14:11,100
payment was really just

3843
02:14:11,100 --> 02:14:13,100
to ensure use of the field

3844
02:14:13,100 --> 02:14:14,100
for a certain amount

3845
02:14:14,100 --> 02:14:16,100
of time and, you know,

3846
02:14:16,100 --> 02:14:18,100
disincentivize.

3847
02:14:18,100 --> 02:14:20,100
>> So you'll fix Exhibit A

3848
02:14:20,100 --> 02:14:21,100
according

3849
02:14:21,100 --> 02:14:22,100
to the 20-year decision

3850
02:14:22,100 --> 02:14:24,100
by the board?

3851
02:14:24,100 --> 02:14:25,100
>> Yeah, I'll do that

3852
02:14:25,100 --> 02:14:26,100
at the end. That'll take me a

3853
02:14:26,100 --> 02:14:28,100
few more minutes.

3854
02:14:28,100 --> 02:14:30,100
But are we good to move on

3855
02:14:30,100 --> 02:14:31,100
from here?

3856
02:14:31,100 --> 02:14:33,100
>> Yep.

3857
02:14:37,100 --> 02:14:38,100
>> Improvements, ADA, access

3858
02:14:38,100 --> 02:14:40,401
for inspection. Any, any

3859
02:14:41,100 --> 02:14:43,100
comments?

3860
02:14:43,100 --> 02:14:46,601
>> Let me just quickly read the

3861
02:14:47,100 --> 02:14:50,100
access for inspection. So what

3862
02:15:15,100 --> 02:15:16,100
exactly are we indemnifying the

3863
02:15:16,100 --> 02:15:19,100
village for in that paragraph?

3864
02:15:36,100 --> 02:15:38,100
>> Basically, in the event

3865
02:15:38,100 --> 02:15:39,100
hazardous substances are

3866
02:15:39,100 --> 02:15:41,401
discovered I think it's

3867
02:15:47,100 --> 02:15:48,100
basically implying that in the

3868
02:15:48,100 --> 02:15:49,100
event you start digging up

3869
02:15:49,100 --> 02:15:51,100
stuff and it's, you know,

3870
02:15:51,100 --> 02:15:52,100
hazardous or something, that,

3871
02:15:52,100 --> 02:15:54,100
you know, You're responsible

3872
02:15:54,100 --> 02:15:56,100
for dealing

3873
02:15:56,100 --> 02:15:58,100
with that hazard.

3874
02:15:58,100 --> 02:15:59,100
>> So if hazard conditions

3875
02:15:59,100 --> 02:16:00,100
currently exist at Founders

3876
02:16:00,100 --> 02:16:02,100
Park, we're responsible

3877
02:16:02,100 --> 02:16:04,100
for paying

3878
02:16:04,100 --> 02:16:05,100
for any problems that arise

3879
02:16:05,100 --> 02:16:06,100
from those hazardous conditions

3880
02:16:06,100 --> 02:16:08,100
that are preexisting?

3881
02:16:09,100 --> 02:16:10,100
>> Well, I mean,

3882
02:16:10,100 --> 02:16:11,100
the way I read it is it's, it's

3883
02:16:11,100 --> 02:16:13,100
saying basically if you

3884
02:16:13,100 --> 02:16:14,100
discover it, you're not,

3885
02:16:14,100 --> 02:16:16,100
you're not obligated

3886
02:16:16,100 --> 02:16:18,100
to remove it, but whatever you

3887
02:16:18,100 --> 02:16:20,100
did disturb or partially

3888
02:16:20,100 --> 02:16:22,100
excavate, you got

3889
02:16:22,100 --> 02:16:24,100
to deal with, right? And, you

3890
02:16:24,100 --> 02:16:26,100
know, part of what was in here

3891
02:16:26,100 --> 02:16:29,100
was a requirement that the

3892
02:16:29,100 --> 02:16:31,100
school board does a Phase 1

3893
02:16:31,100 --> 02:16:32,100
environmental study prior to

3894
02:16:32,100 --> 02:16:34,100
commencing construction. I

3895
02:16:34,100 --> 02:16:35,100
received direction

3896
02:16:35,100 --> 02:16:37,100
to remove that. So, you know,

3897
02:16:37,100 --> 02:16:38,100
that would

3898
02:16:38,100 --> 02:16:40,000
>> So is nobody doing the

3899
02:16:40,000 --> 02:16:41,100
environmental study?

3900
02:16:41,100 --> 02:16:43,100
>> Not to my knowledge,

3901
02:16:43,100 --> 02:16:45,100
no.

3902
02:16:45,100 --> 02:16:47,100
>> Well, then we should be

3903
02:16:47,100 --> 02:16:48,100
splitting the cost

3904
02:16:48,100 --> 02:16:49,100
of any hazardous conditions at

3905
02:16:49,100 --> 02:16:51,100
the very least.

3906
02:16:52,100 --> 02:16:55,100
>> I think they own them,

3907
02:16:55,100 --> 02:16:56,100
not us. They own them,

3908
02:16:56,100 --> 02:16:57,100
not us.

3909
02:16:57,100 --> 02:16:59,100
>> That's not what this says,

3910
02:16:59,100 --> 02:17:00,100
though. This says the licensee.

3911
02:17:00,100 --> 02:17:02,100
That's us.

3912
02:17:08,100 --> 02:17:10,100
>> So it's indemnification.

3913
02:17:10,100 --> 02:17:12,100
For all costs relating

3914
02:17:12,100 --> 02:17:14,100
to inspections in connection

3915
02:17:14,100 --> 02:17:16,100
with the property.

3916
02:17:16,100 --> 02:17:17,100
>> Licensee hereby indemnifies

3917
02:17:17,100 --> 02:17:18,100
and holds the licensor

3918
02:17:18,100 --> 02:17:20,401
harmless. If licensee discovers

3919
02:17:21,100 --> 02:17:24,100
hazardous substance as a result

3920
02:17:34,100 --> 02:17:36,401
of inspection, blah, blah,

3921
02:17:38,100 --> 02:17:41,100
blah, then the licensee shall

3922
02:17:43,100 --> 02:17:44,100
also be responsible

3923
02:17:44,100 --> 02:17:45,100
for the removal, remediation,

3924
02:17:45,100 --> 02:17:46,100
disposal, et cetera,

3925
02:17:46,100 --> 02:17:48,100
et cetera.

3926
02:17:51,100 --> 02:17:53,100
>> Right.

3927
02:17:54,100 --> 02:17:55,100
>> So, before they do

3928
02:17:55,100 --> 02:17:57,100
construction,

3929
02:17:58,100 --> 02:17:59,100
they're going

3930
02:17:59,100 --> 02:18:00,100
to test the soil, right?

3931
02:18:00,100 --> 02:18:01,100
>> No.

3932
02:18:01,100 --> 02:18:02,100
>> No.

3933
02:18:02,100 --> 02:18:03,100
>> That was a that was a

3934
02:18:03,100 --> 02:18:05,100
provision. I thought there was

3935
02:18:05,100 --> 02:18:06,100
an environmental study there

3936
02:18:06,100 --> 02:18:08,100
was some sort of an

3937
02:18:08,100 --> 02:18:10,100
environmental inspection that

3938
02:18:10,100 --> 02:18:12,401
had to be done.

3939
02:18:13,100 --> 02:18:15,100
>> That's correct. There was

3940
02:18:15,100 --> 02:18:16,100
>> What does that do then?

3941
02:18:16,100 --> 02:18:18,100
>> At the end

3942
02:18:18,100 --> 02:18:19,100
of this sentence, it did say

3943
02:18:19,100 --> 02:18:20,100
that, you know, licensee,

3944
02:18:20,100 --> 02:18:21,100
the school board, will do a

3945
02:18:21,100 --> 02:18:22,100
Phase 1 environmental study

3946
02:18:22,100 --> 02:18:23,100
prior

3947
02:18:23,100 --> 02:18:24,100
to commencing construction.

3948
02:18:24,100 --> 02:18:25,100
>> Right.

3949
02:18:25,100 --> 02:18:26,100
>> I received a request

3950
02:18:26,100 --> 02:18:27,100
to delete that provision. If

3951
02:18:27,100 --> 02:18:28,100
you guys want

3952
02:18:28,100 --> 02:18:29,100
to add it back in, The village

3953
02:18:29,100 --> 02:18:30,100
had requested that provision be

3954
02:18:30,100 --> 02:18:32,100
included, so

3955
02:18:32,100 --> 02:18:34,100
>> Well, I mean,

3956
02:18:34,100 --> 02:18:35,100
if it should be inspected,

3957
02:18:35,100 --> 02:18:37,100
and if there's something wrong,

3958
02:18:37,100 --> 02:18:39,100
well, that can put the squash

3959
02:18:39,100 --> 02:18:40,100
on the whole thing. I mean,

3960
02:18:40,100 --> 02:18:41,100
if there's something wrong

3961
02:18:41,100 --> 02:18:44,100
with the ground, I mean,

3962
02:18:44,100 --> 02:18:45,100
nothing's going

3963
02:18:45,100 --> 02:18:48,100
to happen afterwards. I mean,

3964
02:18:48,100 --> 02:18:49,100
you know, I don't want

3965
02:18:49,100 --> 02:18:51,100
to see us, you know, doing the

3966
02:18:51,100 --> 02:18:53,100
job and then somebody comes

3967
02:18:53,100 --> 02:18:55,100
along and checks the soil and

3968
02:18:55,100 --> 02:18:57,100
says there's oil here or

3969
02:18:57,100 --> 02:18:58,100
something. I mean, the my

3970
02:18:58,100 --> 02:19:00,100
understanding, I thought the

3971
02:19:00,100 --> 02:19:01,100
environmental study would check

3972
02:19:01,100 --> 02:19:02,100
that because what else is there

3973
02:19:02,100 --> 02:19:04,100
to check other than the ground?

3974
02:19:04,100 --> 02:19:06,100
>> Right. I don't personally

3975
02:19:06,100 --> 02:19:07,100
have any issue

3976
02:19:07,100 --> 02:19:08,100
with it being included. The

3977
02:19:08,100 --> 02:19:10,100
only thing I would check maybe

3978
02:19:10,100 --> 02:19:12,100
is how that may affect the

3979
02:19:12,100 --> 02:19:14,100
timing of things. Pat, if you

3980
02:19:14,100 --> 02:19:15,100
want to speak to that

3981
02:19:15,100 --> 02:19:17,100
at all.

3982
02:19:18,100 --> 02:19:19,100
>> Well, we would get it done,

3983
02:19:19,100 --> 02:19:20,100
you know, Fine. We'll just do

3984
02:19:20,100 --> 02:19:21,100
it. I mean,

3985
02:19:21,100 --> 02:19:23,100
do the environmental study. If

3986
02:19:23,100 --> 02:19:25,100
there's something wrong,

3987
02:19:25,100 --> 02:19:26,100
we're not going

3988
02:19:26,100 --> 02:19:27,100
to do anything there.

3989
02:19:27,100 --> 02:19:29,100
>> So we requested

3990
02:19:29,100 --> 02:19:30,100
to have the Phase I removed.

3991
02:19:30,100 --> 02:19:31,100
We typically only do Phase I

3992
02:19:31,100 --> 02:19:32,100
any environmental site

3993
02:19:32,100 --> 02:19:34,100
assessments at locations where

3994
02:19:34,100 --> 02:19:36,100
we know we have contamination.

3995
02:19:36,100 --> 02:19:37,100
We have no indication

3996
02:19:37,100 --> 02:19:39,100
of any contamination at

3997
02:19:39,100 --> 02:19:40,100
Founders Park. So we asked

3998
02:19:40,100 --> 02:19:43,100
for it to be removed

3999
02:19:43,100 --> 02:19:46,100
in the interest of time.

4000
02:19:46,100 --> 02:19:47,100
>> So let's take

4001
02:19:47,100 --> 02:19:48,100
out the power line.

4002
02:19:48,100 --> 02:19:49,100
>> Indemnification paragraph,

4003
02:19:49,100 --> 02:19:50,100
then. I agree.

4004
02:19:50,100 --> 02:19:51,100
>> Yeah, then take it out. I

4005
02:19:51,100 --> 02:19:52,100
mean, if you don't want

4006
02:19:52,100 --> 02:19:53,100
to do it,

4007
02:19:53,100 --> 02:19:54,100
then take it out.

4008
02:19:54,100 --> 02:19:55,100
>> Yep.

4009
02:19:55,100 --> 02:19:56,100
>> Take it out.

4010
02:19:56,100 --> 02:19:58,100
>> Sounds good.

4011
02:20:27,100 --> 02:20:29,100
>> All right.

4012
02:20:33,100 --> 02:20:34,100
>> Notices of commencement,

4013
02:20:34,100 --> 02:20:35,100
cost

4014
02:20:35,100 --> 02:20:36,100
of design and construction,

4015
02:20:36,100 --> 02:20:37,100
governmental approval,

4016
02:20:37,100 --> 02:20:38,100
joiner.

4017
02:20:38,100 --> 02:20:39,100
>> I'm all the way on insurance

4018
02:20:39,100 --> 02:20:41,100
requirements

4019
02:20:41,100 --> 02:20:43,100
for construction contracts.

4020
02:20:51,100 --> 02:20:52,100
>> Anybody have anything for

4021
02:20:52,100 --> 02:20:53,100
Section 5?

4022
02:20:53,100 --> 02:20:55,100
>> Nope. Nope.

4023
02:20:55,100 --> 02:20:56,100
>> I don't think anybody's

4024
02:20:56,100 --> 02:20:57,100
going to have anything

4025
02:20:57,100 --> 02:20:59,100
but me.

4026
02:21:13,100 --> 02:21:14,100
>> Any comments for Section

4027
02:21:14,100 --> 02:21:15,100
6, Compliance with

4028
02:21:15,100 --> 02:21:16,100
Governmental Procedures?

4029
02:21:16,100 --> 02:21:18,100
>> No. I'm on

4030
02:21:18,100 --> 02:21:20,100
>> Move on. Maintenance of

4031
02:21:20,100 --> 02:21:22,100
Improvements, which is 8.

4032
02:21:23,100 --> 02:21:25,401
>> Okay, it's up there.

4033
02:21:38,100 --> 02:21:39,100
>> So here's my issue

4034
02:21:39,100 --> 02:21:40,100
with maintenance

4035
02:21:40,100 --> 02:21:42,100
of improvements. We're

4036
02:21:43,100 --> 02:21:44,100
maintaining it even when it's

4037
02:21:44,100 --> 02:21:46,100
in village control,

4038
02:21:47,100 --> 02:21:50,100
so we're paying our people.

4039
02:21:52,100 --> 02:21:54,100
How's that working?

4040
02:21:54,100 --> 02:21:55,100
>> Yeah, so the school district

4041
02:21:55,100 --> 02:21:56,100
maintains the field year-round.

4042
02:21:56,100 --> 02:21:57,100
And for the, you know, period

4043
02:21:57,100 --> 02:21:58,100
of time that the village has

4044
02:21:58,100 --> 02:21:59,100
use of the field, they pay

4045
02:21:59,100 --> 02:22:00,100
for the cost of that,

4046
02:22:00,100 --> 02:22:02,100
the maintenance that occurs

4047
02:22:02,100 --> 02:22:03,100
during that period

4048
02:22:03,100 --> 02:22:04,100
of time.

4049
02:22:04,100 --> 02:22:05,100
>> So they'll pay some fee

4050
02:22:05,100 --> 02:22:06,100
to us

4051
02:22:06,100 --> 02:22:08,100
for our maintenance people

4052
02:22:08,100 --> 02:22:09,100
to take care of it?

4053
02:22:09,100 --> 02:22:11,100
>> Correct.

4054
02:22:11,100 --> 02:22:13,100
>> Okay, move on.

4055
02:22:19,100 --> 02:22:20,100
>> And same thing, utilities,

4056
02:22:20,100 --> 02:22:22,100
only for the period

4057
02:22:22,100 --> 02:22:23,100
in which we're Yeah, I mean,

4058
02:22:23,100 --> 02:22:25,100
it's mentioned in the

4059
02:22:25,100 --> 02:22:27,100
maintenance and improvement

4060
02:22:29,100 --> 02:22:32,100
section, but it, you know, says

4061
02:22:32,100 --> 02:22:34,100
it includes utility consumption

4062
02:22:34,100 --> 02:22:36,100
in that kind

4063
02:22:36,100 --> 02:22:38,100
of same general category.

4064
02:22:38,100 --> 02:22:40,100
>> Thank you.

4065
02:22:42,100 --> 02:22:44,100
Going down to 11.

4066
02:22:51,100 --> 02:22:52,100
>> All right,

4067
02:22:52,100 --> 02:22:54,100
it's up there.

4068
02:23:05,100 --> 02:23:07,100
>> So no matter when the damage

4069
02:23:07,100 --> 02:23:08,100
occurs,

4070
02:23:08,100 --> 02:23:10,100
it's our responsibility

4071
02:23:10,100 --> 02:23:12,100
to fix it in these minor and

4072
02:23:12,100 --> 02:23:14,100
major damage paragraphs?

4073
02:23:16,100 --> 02:23:18,100
>> Right.

4074
02:23:18,100 --> 02:23:19,100
The thought was

4075
02:23:19,100 --> 02:23:20,100
to just keep it consistent with

4076
02:23:20,100 --> 02:23:21,100
the maintenance where we would,

4077
02:23:21,100 --> 02:23:23,100
you know, deal

4078
02:23:23,100 --> 02:23:24,100
with restoring the property,

4079
02:23:24,100 --> 02:23:26,100
removing debris,

4080
02:23:26,100 --> 02:23:27,100
what have you. But the cost is

4081
02:23:27,100 --> 02:23:28,100
just basically equally split

4082
02:23:28,100 --> 02:23:29,100
for anything not covered

4083
02:23:29,100 --> 02:23:31,100
by insurance because, you know,

4084
02:23:31,100 --> 02:23:32,100
both the parties would have

4085
02:23:32,100 --> 02:23:34,100
>> And which paragraph

4086
02:23:34,100 --> 02:23:36,401
references that we're splitting

4087
02:23:40,100 --> 02:23:41,100
that?

4088
02:23:41,100 --> 02:23:42,100
>> The second sentence in 11.

4089
02:23:42,100 --> 02:23:43,100
It says, licensor and licensee

4090
02:23:43,100 --> 02:23:45,100
shall bear

4091
02:23:47,100 --> 02:23:48,100
>> Equally bear the cost.

4092
02:23:48,100 --> 02:23:49,100
>> Okay, sorry,

4093
02:23:49,100 --> 02:23:51,100
I missed that. That's why I

4094
02:23:51,100 --> 02:23:52,100
don't like doing it quickly.

4095
02:23:52,100 --> 02:23:54,401
It's okay. All right,

4096
02:23:55,100 --> 02:23:57,100
termination.

4097
02:24:15,100 --> 02:24:16,100
>> Can you fix this? I'm not a

4098
02:24:16,100 --> 02:24:17,100
lawyer. I am a doctor,

4099
02:24:17,100 --> 02:24:18,100
by the way. Can you fix this?

4100
02:24:18,100 --> 02:24:20,401
Can you fix this

4101
02:24:21,100 --> 02:24:23,100
by just saying after the

4102
02:24:23,100 --> 02:24:25,100
initial 20-year period,

4103
02:24:28,100 --> 02:24:31,100
the agreement can be terminated

4104
02:24:32,100 --> 02:24:34,100
by either party by either

4105
02:24:34,100 --> 02:24:36,100
giving written notice.

4106
02:24:40,100 --> 02:24:41,100
>> And it'll be five instead

4107
02:24:41,100 --> 02:24:42,100
of three.

4108
02:24:42,100 --> 02:24:44,100
>> Yeah. As in legally, does

4109
02:24:44,100 --> 02:24:45,100
that work if we say you know

4110
02:24:45,100 --> 02:24:46,100
following the initial

4111
02:24:46,100 --> 02:24:47,100
twenty-year period termination

4112
02:24:47,100 --> 02:24:48,100
could occur after that

4113
02:24:48,100 --> 02:24:50,401
with five years notice?

4114
02:24:51,100 --> 02:24:53,100
>> Five-year notice.

4115
02:24:54,100 --> 02:24:56,100
>> Yeah, I certainly can craft

4116
02:24:56,100 --> 02:24:57,100
some language to that effect. I

4117
02:24:57,100 --> 02:24:59,100
so we're not going

4118
02:24:59,100 --> 02:25:00,100
with ten years anymore, just

4119
02:25:00,100 --> 02:25:01,100
to be clear.

4120
02:25:01,100 --> 02:25:02,100
>> Just go with the initial.

4121
02:25:02,100 --> 02:25:04,100
>> 20 is what we put

4122
02:25:04,100 --> 02:25:06,100
at the top, so 20 is what we

4123
02:25:06,100 --> 02:25:07,100
want a paragraph

4124
02:25:07,100 --> 02:25:08,100
to be consistent.

4125
02:25:08,100 --> 02:25:09,100
>> It's 20 in the top and 20

4126
02:25:09,100 --> 02:25:11,100
down here.

4127
02:25:12,100 --> 02:25:13,100
>> But the termination still

4128
02:25:13,100 --> 02:25:14,100
allows them with notice

4129
02:25:14,100 --> 02:25:16,100
>> 5 years.

4130
02:25:16,100 --> 02:25:17,100
>> It's 5 years.

4131
02:25:17,100 --> 02:25:18,100
>> So then we're not guaranteed

4132
02:25:18,100 --> 02:25:19,100
the 10 after the term,

4133
02:25:19,100 --> 02:25:21,100
after the first

4134
02:25:21,100 --> 02:25:22,100
>> after the 20 years.

4135
02:25:22,100 --> 02:25:23,100
>> Yeah, she said there's my

4136
02:25:23,100 --> 02:25:24,100
point. After the initial,

4137
02:25:24,100 --> 02:25:25,100
put that in

4138
02:25:25,100 --> 02:25:28,100
after the initial. That's what

4139
02:25:28,100 --> 02:25:29,100
you put that in this,

4140
02:25:29,100 --> 02:25:31,100
in this paragraph

4141
02:25:31,100 --> 02:25:32,100
after the initial term.

4142
02:25:32,100 --> 02:25:33,100
>> So you're guaranteeing 20

4143
02:25:33,100 --> 02:25:35,100
years.

4144
02:25:35,100 --> 02:25:37,401
>> All right, will do.

4145
02:26:01,100 --> 02:26:02,100
>> So you're saying we can't

4146
02:26:02,100 --> 02:26:03,100
terminate people now? I didn't

4147
02:26:03,100 --> 02:26:04,100
say that. I know, but for 5

4148
02:26:04,100 --> 02:26:06,100
years.

4149
02:26:15,100 --> 02:26:16,100
>> In termination, if we're

4150
02:26:16,100 --> 02:26:17,100
going to give them 60 days, If

4151
02:26:17,100 --> 02:26:19,100
we have 60 days

4152
02:26:19,100 --> 02:26:21,100
for everything, we should have

4153
02:26:21,100 --> 02:26:22,100
at least 60 days to remove our

4154
02:26:22,100 --> 02:26:24,100
tangible property upon

4155
02:26:25,100 --> 02:26:27,100
termination.

4156
02:26:36,100 --> 02:26:37,100
>> Yes, putting in

4157
02:26:37,100 --> 02:26:38,100
after the initial term.

4158
02:26:38,100 --> 02:26:39,100
After the initial term?

4159
02:26:39,100 --> 02:26:41,100
>> Of 20 years,

4160
02:26:41,100 --> 02:26:42,100
5-year notice.

4161
02:26:42,100 --> 02:26:44,100
>> That's what we're putting

4162
02:26:44,100 --> 02:26:45,100
in. Okay. Unless you want

4163
02:26:45,100 --> 02:26:47,100
to do 10.

4164
02:26:48,100 --> 02:26:50,100
>> No, I'm good with 1.

4165
02:26:50,100 --> 02:26:52,100
>> And can you explain the

4166
02:26:52,100 --> 02:26:54,100
counterparts,

4167
02:26:55,100 --> 02:26:57,100
paragraph 14?

4168
02:27:02,100 --> 02:27:05,601
>> Yeah, I mean, the way I

4169
02:27:11,100 --> 02:27:12,100
understand is that you can sign

4170
02:27:12,100 --> 02:27:14,100
essentially 2 different

4171
02:27:14,100 --> 02:27:16,100
documents,

4172
02:27:17,100 --> 02:27:18,100
and as long as they're the same

4173
02:27:18,100 --> 02:27:19,100
document, everybody has

4174
02:27:19,100 --> 02:27:20,100
>> Okay, that's what that

4175
02:27:20,100 --> 02:27:22,100
means. Thank you.

4176
02:27:22,100 --> 02:27:24,100
>> Is it upon or following or

4177
02:27:24,100 --> 02:27:27,100
after? Is it is it

4178
02:27:30,100 --> 02:27:32,401
>> I mean, upon Yeah,

4179
02:27:35,100 --> 02:27:36,100
of the initial period. That's

4180
02:27:36,100 --> 02:27:38,100
it.

4181
02:27:48,100 --> 02:27:50,100
>> Okay, I'm done.

4182
02:27:59,100 --> 02:28:01,100
>> You wanted this to be 5

4183
02:28:01,100 --> 02:28:03,401
years as well, correct?

4184
02:28:05,100 --> 02:28:07,100
>> Yeah.

4185
02:28:28,100 --> 02:28:31,100
>> Thank God we're almost done.

4186
02:28:32,100 --> 02:28:33,100
>> Sir?

4187
02:28:33,100 --> 02:28:35,100
>> If I want to postpone the

4188
02:28:35,100 --> 02:28:37,100
GMP until we come

4189
02:28:37,100 --> 02:28:38,100
to the license agreement,

4190
02:28:38,100 --> 02:28:40,100
does that happen

4191
02:28:40,100 --> 02:28:41,100
before the GMP? If you have

4192
02:28:41,100 --> 02:28:43,100
something to approve

4193
02:28:43,100 --> 02:28:45,100
of the license agreement,

4194
02:28:45,100 --> 02:28:47,100
then you read the item first.

4195
02:28:47,100 --> 02:28:48,100
Right, but I know you can move

4196
02:28:48,100 --> 02:28:50,401
on to approve it.

4197
02:28:53,100 --> 02:28:54,100
>> Is everybody good

4198
02:28:54,100 --> 02:28:56,100
with this section?

4199
02:28:56,100 --> 02:28:58,100
>> Yep. Move on.

4200
02:29:09,100 --> 02:29:10,100
>> All right. Dr. Walchanski,

4201
02:29:10,100 --> 02:29:12,100
you have anything further?

4202
02:29:12,100 --> 02:29:13,100
>> I would like

4203
02:29:13,100 --> 02:29:14,100
to make a motion.

4204
02:29:14,100 --> 02:29:16,100
>> Okay, make the motion.

4205
02:29:16,100 --> 02:29:19,100
>> That we Amend the license

4206
02:29:21,100 --> 02:29:23,100
agreement as

4207
02:29:24,100 --> 02:29:25,100
>> How about this? Let me take

4208
02:29:25,100 --> 02:29:27,100
a stab at it for you.

4209
02:29:27,100 --> 02:29:28,100
>> Go ahead, Dirk.

4210
02:29:28,100 --> 02:29:30,100
>> That you would make a motion

4211
02:29:30,100 --> 02:29:31,100
to approve the edited version

4212
02:29:31,100 --> 02:29:32,100
now just done

4213
02:29:32,100 --> 02:29:34,100
on the record.

4214
02:29:35,100 --> 02:29:36,100
>> Okay.

4215
02:29:36,100 --> 02:29:37,100
>> As modified here

4216
02:29:37,100 --> 02:29:38,100
on the screen live.

4217
02:29:38,100 --> 02:29:39,100
>> All right.

4218
02:29:39,100 --> 02:29:40,100
>> I'm going to make a motion

4219
02:29:40,100 --> 02:29:43,601
that we approve the The edited

4220
02:29:45,100 --> 02:29:46,100
version of the licensing

4221
02:29:46,100 --> 02:29:48,100
agreement that we just agreed

4222
02:29:48,100 --> 02:29:50,100
that we just discussed.

4223
02:29:50,100 --> 02:29:51,100
>> Second.

4224
02:29:51,100 --> 02:29:53,100
>> Yes, as portrayed by

4225
02:29:53,100 --> 02:29:55,100
Hunter's document

4226
02:29:57,100 --> 02:29:59,100
on the screen.

4227
02:29:59,100 --> 02:30:02,100
>> Did you do the amortization

4228
02:30:02,100 --> 02:30:04,100
schedule?

4229
02:30:04,100 --> 02:30:05,100
>> Working on it now. It's

4230
02:30:05,100 --> 02:30:06,100
going

4231
02:30:06,100 --> 02:30:07,100
to take me a minute.

4232
02:30:07,100 --> 02:30:08,100
>> Okay.

4233
02:30:08,100 --> 02:30:09,100
>> 20 years.

4234
02:30:09,100 --> 02:30:10,100
>> The motion is premature

4235
02:30:10,100 --> 02:30:11,100
then.

4236
02:30:11,100 --> 02:30:12,100
>> Okay. And how do we

4237
02:30:12,100 --> 02:30:13,100
incorporate if they don't agree

4238
02:30:13,100 --> 02:30:15,100
with this document

4239
02:30:15,100 --> 02:30:16,100
to have that meeting?

4240
02:30:16,100 --> 02:30:19,100
>> How does that get done?

4241
02:30:19,100 --> 02:30:21,401
>> That's a separate thing.

4242
02:30:23,100 --> 02:30:24,100
That's a cover letter. Okay.

4243
02:30:24,100 --> 02:30:26,100
>> Yeah.

4244
02:30:26,100 --> 02:30:27,100
>> So we don't have to agree on

4245
02:30:27,100 --> 02:30:28,100
that here?

4246
02:30:28,100 --> 02:30:29,100
>> I hear what you're saying.

4247
02:30:29,100 --> 02:30:30,100
>> Okay.

4248
02:30:30,100 --> 02:30:31,100
>> I think we'd agreed on that.

4249
02:30:31,100 --> 02:30:32,100
>> I guess we'll see.

4250
02:30:32,100 --> 02:30:35,601
>> It's gonna take him a while.

4251
02:30:43,100 --> 02:30:44,100
>> Yep.

4252
02:30:44,100 --> 02:30:45,100
>> And now you have to reread

4253
02:30:45,100 --> 02:30:46,100
it as written to make sure

4254
02:30:46,100 --> 02:30:48,100
that it's

4255
02:30:49,100 --> 02:30:51,100
>> I mean, we're gonna be able

4256
02:30:51,100 --> 02:30:54,601
to save it and distribute it.

4257
02:30:57,100 --> 02:30:58,100
>> Okay. I'd say now is the

4258
02:30:58,100 --> 02:30:59,100
time to go to the restroom.

4259
02:30:59,100 --> 02:31:01,100
>> I was thinking about that

4260
02:31:01,100 --> 02:31:03,401
too. I can't wait.

4261
02:31:16,100 --> 02:31:17,100
>> Excuse me.

4262
02:31:17,100 --> 02:31:18,100
>> It's so funny.

4263
02:31:18,100 --> 02:31:21,601
>> I'm gonna run out of room

4264
02:31:31,100 --> 02:31:32,100
on this piece of paper.

4265
02:31:32,100 --> 02:31:33,100
>> Yeah, you are. Those are

4266
02:31:33,100 --> 02:31:35,100
your important notes.

4267
02:31:35,100 --> 02:31:36,100
>> I think I've got to go

4268
02:31:36,100 --> 02:31:39,100
from circles to squares now.

4269
02:31:41,100 --> 02:31:42,100
See, Louie, this is what you're

4270
02:31:42,100 --> 02:31:44,401
gonna do, you know.

4271
02:39:40,100 --> 02:39:41,100
>> Now that it's complete, I'd

4272
02:39:41,100 --> 02:39:42,100
like

4273
02:39:42,100 --> 02:39:45,100
to make the same motion.

4274
02:39:48,100 --> 02:39:49,100
>> Yeah, I need a second.

4275
02:39:49,100 --> 02:39:52,100
>> Second the motion as per the

4276
02:39:52,100 --> 02:39:53,100
changes discussed

4277
02:39:53,100 --> 02:39:54,100
by this board

4278
02:39:54,100 --> 02:39:56,100
during discussion.

4279
02:39:56,100 --> 02:39:58,100
>> And live edited.

4280
02:39:58,100 --> 02:40:00,100
>> And live edited,

4281
02:40:00,100 --> 02:40:01,100
assuming review

4282
02:40:01,100 --> 02:40:03,100
at a later time.

4283
02:40:03,100 --> 02:40:05,100
>> Roll call.

4284
02:40:05,100 --> 02:40:07,100
>> [CALLING ROLL]

4285
02:40:15,100 --> 02:40:17,100
>> Motion passes.

4286
02:40:18,100 --> 02:40:19,100
>> I recommend the board

4287
02:40:19,100 --> 02:40:21,100
approve Resolution 2026-002

4288
02:40:22,100 --> 02:40:23,100
titled A resolution of the

4289
02:40:23,100 --> 02:40:24,100
School Board of Monroe

4290
02:40:24,100 --> 02:40:26,100
County, Florida, approving the

4291
02:40:26,100 --> 02:40:27,100
guaranteed maximum price from

4292
02:40:27,100 --> 02:40:29,100
Keystar Incorporated for

4293
02:40:29,100 --> 02:40:30,100
Founders Park baseball

4294
02:40:30,100 --> 02:40:32,100
improvements contingent upon

4295
02:40:32,100 --> 02:40:33,100
village approval and providing

4296
02:40:33,100 --> 02:40:35,401
for an effective date.

4297
02:40:36,100 --> 02:40:38,100
>> So moved.

4298
02:40:40,100 --> 02:40:41,100
>> I'll make a second,

4299
02:40:41,100 --> 02:40:42,100
but I also want

4300
02:40:42,100 --> 02:40:43,100
to have some discussion. Even

4301
02:40:43,100 --> 02:40:45,100
though we know it's contingent,

4302
02:40:45,100 --> 02:40:47,100
I think we should postpone this

4303
02:40:47,100 --> 02:40:48,100
motion until the village

4304
02:40:48,100 --> 02:40:49,100
Agrees

4305
02:40:49,100 --> 02:40:51,401
on the license agreement,

4306
02:40:54,100 --> 02:40:55,100
because we have a meeting 2

4307
02:40:55,100 --> 02:40:57,100
days after that. It literally

4308
02:40:57,100 --> 02:41:00,601
would take up no extra time.

4309
02:41:01,100 --> 02:41:02,100
>> We have a meeting

4310
02:41:02,100 --> 02:41:03,100
on the 11th of July?

4311
02:41:03,100 --> 02:41:05,100
>> On the 9th.

4312
02:41:05,100 --> 02:41:06,100
>> No, we don't.

4313
02:41:06,100 --> 02:41:08,100
>> If you're seeking postpone,

4314
02:41:08,100 --> 02:41:09,100
that's a higher order motion,

4315
02:41:09,100 --> 02:41:10,100
so you have to dispose

4316
02:41:10,100 --> 02:41:12,100
of that first.

4317
02:41:12,100 --> 02:41:13,100
>> Okay, when's our next

4318
02:41:13,100 --> 02:41:15,100
meeting? You'll need a second.

4319
02:41:15,100 --> 02:41:17,100
July 21st. Any discussion

4320
02:41:17,100 --> 02:41:19,100
on the motion

4321
02:41:21,100 --> 02:41:23,100
to postpone?

4322
02:41:35,100 --> 02:41:37,100
>> Call the roll.

4323
02:41:38,100 --> 02:41:40,100
>> Ms. Talbott.

4324
02:41:41,100 --> 02:41:43,100
>> Just the GMP.

4325
02:41:43,100 --> 02:41:44,100
>> I understand.

4326
02:41:44,100 --> 02:41:45,100
>> It's too late to go back

4327
02:41:45,100 --> 02:41:46,100
to discussion?

4328
02:41:46,100 --> 02:41:48,100
>> No, on the motion, you can

4329
02:41:48,100 --> 02:41:49,100
discuss anything.

4330
02:41:49,100 --> 02:41:50,100
>> I didn't know.

4331
02:41:50,100 --> 02:41:51,100
>> She started to call the

4332
02:41:51,100 --> 02:41:52,100
rules. I didn't know where we

4333
02:41:52,100 --> 02:41:53,100
were in the process. Okay.

4334
02:41:53,100 --> 02:41:54,100
>> No, I was asking for

4335
02:41:54,100 --> 02:41:55,100
discussion. I understand.

4336
02:41:55,100 --> 02:41:56,100
>> Okay. I just I guess I'm not

4337
02:41:56,100 --> 02:41:57,100
aware

4338
02:41:57,100 --> 02:41:59,100
of what the pro and con is

4339
02:41:59,100 --> 02:42:00,100
to the postponement.

4340
02:42:00,100 --> 02:42:02,100
>> For me, it would just be

4341
02:42:02,100 --> 02:42:04,100
that it's possible that they're

4342
02:42:04,100 --> 02:42:06,100
not going to agree

4343
02:42:06,100 --> 02:42:07,100
to the license agreement,

4344
02:42:07,100 --> 02:42:09,100
then we're going

4345
02:42:09,100 --> 02:42:10,100
to have a meeting, and then

4346
02:42:10,100 --> 02:42:12,100
maybe there's something else we

4347
02:42:12,100 --> 02:42:13,100
need. And we've already voted

4348
02:42:13,100 --> 02:42:15,100
on a GMP. Just the order of

4349
02:42:15,100 --> 02:42:17,100
things makes me uncomfortable.

4350
02:42:17,100 --> 02:42:18,100
The contingency makes me less

4351
02:42:18,100 --> 02:42:20,100
uncomfortable, but I personally

4352
02:42:20,100 --> 02:42:23,100
would rather vote for a GMP

4353
02:42:23,100 --> 02:42:24,100
when I know that we have a

4354
02:42:24,100 --> 02:42:26,100
license.

4355
02:42:27,100 --> 02:42:28,100
>> But it's contingent upon

4356
02:42:28,100 --> 02:42:30,100
their approval, correct?

4357
02:42:30,100 --> 02:42:32,100
>> Yes.

4358
02:42:32,100 --> 02:42:34,100
>> So there's no purpose I can

4359
02:42:34,100 --> 02:42:36,401
see. I'm just speaking

4360
02:42:37,100 --> 02:42:38,100
out loud, I guess,

4361
02:42:38,100 --> 02:42:40,100
for my own vote

4362
02:42:40,100 --> 02:42:42,100
in the postponement. So, okay.

4363
02:42:42,100 --> 02:42:44,100
Thank you.

4364
02:42:47,100 --> 02:42:48,100
>> Okay. Call the roll now.

4365
02:42:48,100 --> 02:42:50,100
>> [CALLING ROLL]

4366
02:43:04,100 --> 02:43:06,100
>> Okay, back

4367
02:43:06,100 --> 02:43:09,100
to the original motion. We

4368
02:43:09,100 --> 02:43:10,100
don't have to restate it,

4369
02:43:10,100 --> 02:43:12,100
correct?

4370
02:43:12,100 --> 02:43:13,100
>> No, sir, it's on the floor

4371
02:43:13,100 --> 02:43:14,100
now that the higher-order

4372
02:43:14,100 --> 02:43:15,100
motion has been disposed of.

4373
02:43:15,100 --> 02:43:17,401
>> Okay, any discussion? Call

4374
02:43:19,100 --> 02:43:20,100
the roll.

4375
02:43:20,100 --> 02:43:22,100
>> [CALLING ROLL]

4376
02:43:30,100 --> 02:43:32,100
>> Motion passes.

4377
02:43:34,100 --> 02:43:35,100
>> I recommend the board

4378
02:43:35,100 --> 02:43:36,100
approve Personnel

4379
02:43:36,100 --> 02:43:37,100
Recommendations Addendum 2.

4380
02:43:37,100 --> 02:43:38,100
>> So moved.

4381
02:43:38,100 --> 02:43:40,100
>> Second.

4382
02:43:40,100 --> 02:43:43,100
>> That was your right, Dr.

4383
02:43:43,100 --> 02:43:45,401
Walchanski, you pulled this.

4384
02:43:46,100 --> 02:43:47,100
>> No.

4385
02:43:47,100 --> 02:43:49,100
>> Okay, any discussion? Any no

4386
02:43:49,100 --> 02:43:51,401
votes? Hearing none, the

4387
02:43:59,100 --> 02:44:00,100
personnel recommendations are

4388
02:44:00,100 --> 02:44:02,100
approved.

4389
02:44:04,100 --> 02:44:05,100
>> I recommend the board

4390
02:44:05,100 --> 02:44:06,100
approve 2026-2027 contract

4391
02:44:06,100 --> 02:44:08,100
renewal with Amendment 3 of 3

4392
02:44:08,100 --> 02:44:10,401
with Amira Learning LLC.

4393
02:44:12,100 --> 02:44:14,100
>> So moved.

4394
02:44:15,100 --> 02:44:17,100
>> Second.

4395
02:44:18,100 --> 02:44:19,100
>> The reason I wanted

4396
02:44:19,100 --> 02:44:22,100
to bring this up is Amira is a

4397
02:44:22,100 --> 02:44:25,601
someone can correct me if I'm

4398
02:44:26,100 --> 02:44:27,100
wrong, but it is a science of

4399
02:44:27,100 --> 02:44:29,100
reading program that the school

4400
02:44:29,100 --> 02:44:31,100
has the district has found

4401
02:44:31,100 --> 02:44:34,100
success in. I don't I'm going

4402
02:44:34,100 --> 02:44:36,100
to vote for this, but Amira

4403
02:44:36,100 --> 02:44:39,100
uses Yes. And the other one is

4404
02:44:39,100 --> 02:44:42,100
AI chatbots that are cartoon

4405
02:44:47,100 --> 02:44:49,100
avatars that speak

4406
02:44:49,100 --> 02:44:51,100
to children. They don't write

4407
02:44:51,100 --> 02:44:52,100
it. And there are many parents

4408
02:44:52,100 --> 02:44:54,100
who are concerned

4409
02:44:54,100 --> 02:44:56,100
about the use of that kind

4410
02:44:56,100 --> 02:44:59,100
of chatbot. And as I discussed

4411
02:44:59,100 --> 02:45:01,100
with Mr. Tierney,

4412
02:45:02,100 --> 02:45:03,100
before the start

4413
02:45:03,100 --> 02:45:06,100
of the school year, I'd

4414
02:45:06,100 --> 02:45:08,100
like us to figure out a way to

4415
02:45:08,100 --> 02:45:09,100
make people aware that there

4416
02:45:09,100 --> 02:45:11,100
are these and to allow parents

4417
02:45:11,100 --> 02:45:13,100
to opt out

4418
02:45:13,100 --> 02:45:16,100
of the chatbot portion of the

4419
02:45:16,100 --> 02:45:19,100
program if they choose to. So

4420
02:45:19,100 --> 02:45:20,100
it's nothing that has

4421
02:45:20,100 --> 02:45:22,100
to do here,

4422
02:45:22,100 --> 02:45:23,100
but I think there's a lot

4423
02:45:23,100 --> 02:45:24,100
of concerns right now

4424
02:45:24,100 --> 02:45:26,100
about AI and screen time,

4425
02:45:26,100 --> 02:45:27,100
especially

4426
02:45:27,100 --> 02:45:28,100
with really young children,

4427
02:45:28,100 --> 02:45:29,100
and we need to work on a

4428
02:45:29,100 --> 02:45:30,100
program that will allow to,

4429
02:45:30,100 --> 02:45:31,100
you know,

4430
02:45:31,100 --> 02:45:33,401
get all the advantages

4431
02:45:34,100 --> 02:45:36,100
of these programs without their

4432
02:45:36,100 --> 02:45:38,100
parents being concerned that

4433
02:45:38,100 --> 02:45:40,100
they're gonna have the negative

4434
02:45:40,100 --> 02:45:42,100
effects of AI chatbots,

4435
02:45:42,100 --> 02:45:43,100
which are kind of in the news

4436
02:45:43,100 --> 02:45:44,100
now?

4437
02:45:44,100 --> 02:45:45,100
>> I'll address that. So it's

4438
02:45:45,100 --> 02:45:46,100
3 of 3. We have been pleased

4439
02:45:46,100 --> 02:45:47,100
with this program and seen

4440
02:45:47,100 --> 02:45:49,100
documented success. It's an

4441
02:45:49,100 --> 02:45:50,100
adaptive program. So adaptive

4442
02:45:50,100 --> 02:45:53,100
tests, they become harder or

4443
02:45:53,100 --> 02:45:55,100
easier based

4444
02:45:55,100 --> 02:45:56,100
on the answer given. This is an

4445
02:45:56,100 --> 02:45:57,100
adaptive program that changes

4446
02:45:57,100 --> 02:45:58,100
based

4447
02:45:58,100 --> 02:45:59,100
on what the students read

4448
02:45:59,100 --> 02:46:00,100
to this AI bot. So it's a

4449
02:46:00,100 --> 02:46:01,100
closed system. There's a lot

4450
02:46:01,100 --> 02:46:04,100
of safeguards in place, but I

4451
02:46:04,100 --> 02:46:05,100
do understand the concern and

4452
02:46:05,100 --> 02:46:06,100
support parents' right to know

4453
02:46:06,100 --> 02:46:08,100
about it. So there is a white

4454
02:46:08,100 --> 02:46:09,100
paper that the company gave us

4455
02:46:09,100 --> 02:46:11,100
that we can disseminate

4456
02:46:11,100 --> 02:46:13,100
to parents. The this

4457
02:46:13,100 --> 02:46:15,100
interactive portion is a

4458
02:46:15,100 --> 02:46:16,100
critical part

4459
02:46:16,100 --> 02:46:17,100
of this program, so we can't

4460
02:46:17,100 --> 02:46:19,100
turn that portion off. But if a

4461
02:46:19,100 --> 02:46:20,100
parent didn't want their child

4462
02:46:20,100 --> 02:46:21,100
exposed to it,

4463
02:46:21,100 --> 02:46:22,100
we would find another way

4464
02:46:22,100 --> 02:46:23,100
to support the reading.

4465
02:46:23,100 --> 02:46:25,401
>> Thank you very much.

4466
02:46:27,100 --> 02:46:28,100
>> So if there's no further

4467
02:46:28,100 --> 02:46:29,100
discussion,

4468
02:46:29,100 --> 02:46:32,100
are there any no votes

4469
02:46:33,100 --> 02:46:35,100
on this item? Hearing none,

4470
02:46:35,100 --> 02:46:37,100
motion is approved.

4471
02:46:37,100 --> 02:46:39,401
At this time, we,

4472
02:46:41,100 --> 02:46:44,601
we can say the meeting's over.
