It's within the CRA. So, um, you know, they 179 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:06,560 really they're just looking to do two units like town home style development 180 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:10,240 instead of a single family home. Um, they could, um, really do that with no 181 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,839 issues already with the density and allowances there, but this really helps 182 00:16:12,079 --> 00:16:18,079 clean up the zoning map and and just make it uh consistent and complete in 183 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:24,000 the city. >> Any questions or from the council? 184 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:27,839 » I have one question. Was there any push back from any neighbors? 185 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:31,440 » Uh, we did not receive any comments for or against it. 186 00:16:29,839 --> 00:16:36,320 And let me remind the council, please speak clearly into the microphone. Get 187 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:39,040 it close to your lips. Any other comments or questions by the 188 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:44,000 council or discussion? >> Yes, Mr. Tolbert, just to clarify, this 189 00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:47,759 is within the CRA area, right? So, no responsibility to even come to us. This 190 00:16:45,759 --> 00:16:50,320 is all preapproved. So, this is kind of just to clean up our maps to make sure 191 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:54,959 we're correct. >> Yes, sir. Yes. Uh they did request that 192 00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:59,279 they came to us, but you're accurate. >> Okay.

Because I was reading this here. This says amending the 202 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,640 official zoning map. Right. >> We're only we're only asking for 203 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:39,200 reszoning of that particular parcel. >> Yes, sir. This would Yes.

And 212 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:21,799 we're replacing a 900 foot 1954. 213 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:27,280 It's not very good shape. >> Any questions or comments? Go ahead.

Appreciate it. Would anybody 217 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:46,400 else like to come for the council on this issue? 218 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,320 » Seeing none, Mr. Tolbert, >> yes. 219 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,840 » Mr. Shatel, >> yes. 220 00:18:49,039 --> 00:18:51,760 » Miss Ally, >> yes. 221 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,440 » Mr. Roinger, >> yes. 222 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:58,679 » And Mr. Staer, >> yes.

Yes, sir. Uh yes, this is something that um uh me and my team we 233 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:41,120 we identified uh here recently. It's really a housekeeping item. The 234 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:48,880 portability code and electrical national electrical code um are updated every 235 00:19:43,679 --> 00:19:52,720 three years. Uh and so uh with this the the current code ordinances just 236 00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:57,200 references an outdated version of the building code. And so just to be 237 00:19:55,520 --> 00:20:01,200 consistent uh with what the actual adopted code is statewide is that we 238 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:05,120 just want to update uh these couple sections in the code ordinances. Uh we 239 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:08,000 did rework the language just to reference latest versions so that we 240 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,799 don't have to be back here every three years doing that. Uh it's kind of the 241 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:14,559 standard that we've seen a lot of jurisdictions take. So we just mirrored 242 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:18,400 uh you know that type of language in here. 243 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:23,360 » Any questions or comments from the council? 244 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:29,120 » One of course the manager During this process, this is probably 245 00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:33,280 all in building inspection type of arena that they would have to be very familiar 246 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:36,080 with our codes. We have a plan. We said you're going to come back with a plan 247 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:40,240 for how we're going to receive a building inspection. 248 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:44,320 C been subing out to council for a while now. We continue that process. 249 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:49,280 » Uh no sir, I we actually hired a building inspector. 250 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:52,720 What's it been on 30 days? 45 days. Yeah.

Um, Mr. D, you want to address this? 269 00:21:51,919 --> 00:21:58,320 » Yes, sir. Thank you. Uh, good evening, Mayor and Council. So, much like the 270 00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:04,400 last ordinance, this is just cleaning up uh fiscal year 25. Uh, there's a couple 271 00:22:01,679 --> 00:22:09,039 of things of note. Um, I have the authority under the charter 272 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:13,120 to move uh funding internal to a department, but not between departments, 273 00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:16,720 then that's where you would come in. So, that that's one reason we're doing this. 274 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:23,520 A couple of the departments you will know went over budget uh for uh most of 275 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:27,200 them for unexpected expenses. Uh but you so while several general fund 276 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:33,760 departments were over budget, the general fund as a whole was well under 277 00:22:29,679 --> 00:22:39,120 budget. And so uh we're just uh amending the budget to to cover to ensure that 278 00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:43,760 none of those departments uh for auditing purposes are over budget. uh 279 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:48,880 but also to clean up the budget because you will know that once we amend the 280 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:54,720 budget uh the actual uh amended budget will be almost 2.8 million less than the 281 00:22:51,919 --> 00:23:01,120 council approved uh at the beginning of fiscal year 25. I will note that 282 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:06,720 although the the amended budget is uh just over $20 million the actual 20 at 283 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:11,200 fiscal year 25 expenses are even less than that. So, I think we didn't even 284 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:15,679 cross the uh $20 million general fund threshold. It was somewhere 19 million 285 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:20,720 and change. Uh but this this is really housekeeping uh for for auditing 286 00:23:18,159 --> 00:23:25,679 purposes to clean up the budget and and uh you know reduce our reduce the the 287 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:32,080 the budget as a whole because again we were uh again 2.8 almost 2.8 under what 288 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:37,280 we actually what the council actually approved at the beginning of fiscal 25. 289 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:41,440 Uh I can I can address specifics if you have uh individual questions about the 290 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:44,799 line items, but that's why we're doing this. I'm proposing to do this. 291 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:48,480 » Questions or comments from the council? >> So if I understand this, we have a 292 00:23:46,159 --> 00:23:52,000 surplus in 2.8 million. >> No, sir, we just didn't spend it. So, as 293 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:57,840 as you'll know, if you look on the first page of the ordinance, those top two, 294 00:23:55,120 --> 00:24:04,559 those were really those those numbers, part of that was ARPA uh that we um that 295 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:10,240 was in the general fund that we moved to uh the water and sewer fund to cover the 296 00:24:07,039 --> 00:24:15,600 Deer Moss Creek uh reuse water line. The second one there is TDD money that we 297 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:19,679 did not use. Uh we were going to get 1.6 million in TDD dollars to to build the 298 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:23,919 docu, but obviously didn't get to construction last year. We will use that 299 00:24:21,679 --> 00:24:27,679 that money this year uh when construction starts in January. So those 300 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:32,080 are the two biggest pieces. You'll see the Valp revenue that was generated from 301 00:24:29,679 --> 00:24:37,600 the Valky Fire Department that was not budgeted uh in Fisher 25 because the 302 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:43,440 contract uh had just gotten into place but after the um FIS started. So that's 303 00:24:42,159 --> 00:24:47,919 where the bulk of it is. There's not extra really extra money in the budget. 304 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:51,679 We're just spending a lot less than we had planned to. 305 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:56,720 » I understand that. Just when I read this, you say we have a surplus of 2.8 306 00:24:55,120 --> 00:25:01,039 million that we did not spend. >> Well, and again, sir, we don't have a 307 00:24:58,559 --> 00:25:05,760 surplus because some of this money uh again was not revenue money. The other 308 00:25:02,799 --> 00:25:11,200 piece of it is we didn't uh the actual revenues that came in aside from ARPA, 309 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:16,720 aside from DVD did not match the budgeted revenue that we had projected. 310 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:23,360 And so, While the numbers are closer to to 19 million uh both both revenue and 311 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:28,480 and um expenses uh there there there was no excess and 312 00:25:25,919 --> 00:25:33,120 any excess we have it's it's uh in our reserves but there was very limited 313 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:36,159 excess if any at all. >> So that money goes to reserves. 314 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:40,400 » Yes sir. Yes sir. >> So 315 00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:45,679 » but but again don't misunderstand it this makes it look like we had $23 316 00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:50,400 million in revenue and million in expenses. That's not the case at all. 317 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:54,000 The the revenues the actual revenues I should I guess I should have put that on 318 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:59,600 here. The actual revenues for fiscal year 25 for the general fund were 19 319 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:04,880 millionish. Uh so that the actual revenues and the actual expenses are are 320 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:08,080 more aligned. >> Okay. Well, I applaud you for the for 321 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:11,120 the I'm going to use the word surplus because that's what that's what I'm 322 00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:14,799 viewing as. So So then where does that get shifted to then? So those projects 323 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:18,880 get carried over and that money just carries over to 2026. 324 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:23,120 » Yes sir. So as a as an example those top two uh the ARPA dollars those were 325 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:28,480 transferred into the water and sewer operating fund. Uh that money will be 326 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:32,400 used to cover uh the remain or if it hasn't been spent already the remaining 327 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:37,679 balance of the expenses associated with the reuse water line that's going down 328 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:42,320 293 up to Mos Creek. And then again the TDD dollars that money is still 329 00:26:39,919 --> 00:26:47,120 available to us. It's still in the county pot and we're going to use it 330 00:26:45,279 --> 00:26:50,159 this year to build the docking pier down on the volume. 331 00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:52,640 » Okay. So, this is basically reflecting some monies that we actually did not 332 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:57,039 receive them. >> Correct. The ARPA money we we have, we 333 00:26:55,120 --> 00:27:00,320 just didn't spend it all. And then the TDB money, we had budgeted for it but 334 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,039 did not use it. >> So, that mean we need to amend the 2026 335 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:08,919 budget? >> No sir, because that's that money is in 336 00:27:04,559 --> 00:27:08,919 the 2026 budget again. 337 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:14,480 So, I just wanted to ask you about the reserves. So, one of my concerns was 338 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:18,159 pulling from reserves year after year after year. And it looks like we pulled 339 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:22,720 less than you anticipated. >> We did. We pulled less out of reserves 340 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:27,039 than than we had budgeted last year. Uh if you recall, the year before we didn't 341 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:31,120 pull any money out of reserves at all. Uh this year we did.

The council basically this is setting up uh 367 00:29:05,679 --> 00:29:12,640 enterprise funds for the building department uh that probably should have 368 00:29:09,279 --> 00:29:16,039 been set up many many years ago. >> All right, Chris. 369 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:23,600 » Thank you. Um yes, as city manager said, um this is something after I arrived 370 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:27,279 here and working with our uh finance director, city manager here, we were 371 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:30,880 discussing uh there's a lot of requirements and uh regulations in this 372 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:34,080 part of statute when it comes to a building fund and what you can and can't 373 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:38,320 collect revenues on and what you can't and what you can and can't uh spend 374 00:29:35,679 --> 00:29:42,640 those revenues on for expenses. And in reviewing the the budget uh after I 375 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:47,120 arrived, it was kind of hard to see, you know, some of that separation in there. 376 00:29:44,159 --> 00:29:52,159 So, uh working uh with the staff here, we uh and city attorney, we worked uh 377 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:55,679 together to put this ordinance here that would be able to create its own fund for 378 00:29:53,760 --> 00:30:00,159 building. So, we'll be able to track uh those revenues and expenses clearly 379 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:04,159 going forward. And then all the other uh uh revenues, you know, application fees, 380 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:07,919 uh business tax receipts, uh the reasoning application fees, things like 381 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:14,080 that will go into the the planning and development sub fund. And then for that, 382 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:18,080 there is a state uh building permit and inspection utilization report. That's 383 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:21,039 just something it's an internal uh report that we have to do each year and 384 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:25,919 just post on the website for the public to see. And by doing this, it'll be 385 00:30:23,279 --> 00:30:31,679 allow us to uh create that report and post it out there annually that you just 386 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:37,440 haven't been doing yet. Any questions? Go ahead, M. Got a 387 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:43,279 couple. Um, so, uh, the effective date was effective 388 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:46,960 immediately upon adoption. Are we going to try to roll that into this year's 389 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:50,399 budget process? >> Uh, yes. Yep. We're working with the the 390 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:53,919 finance director to actually go ahead and, you know, if approved, create those 391 00:30:52,159 --> 00:30:58,799 accounts and structure. >> That will be an amendment to our budget. 392 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:02,559 » No, sir, because the the dollar amounts aren't going to change. The budget 393 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:05,360 amounts won't change. It's just how we It's just how 394 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:08,080 » we're approving the bookkeeping of it. When we when we approve a budget, we're 395 00:31:07,039 --> 00:31:11,360 approving the bookkeeping in that budget, too. It's minding. 396 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:16,399 » Uh, >> we're changing the bookkeeping standard. 397 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:20,799 Yes. No. Yes. Okay. >> I mean, so all you're doing is creating 398 00:31:18,399 --> 00:31:23,039 an enterprise fund. The fund that the >> So, is the enterprise fund 399 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,240 self-sufficient? >> It's it's going to be. 400 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:31,039 » Okay. So, that includes all salaries. >> Yep. It's Yes, sir. It's going to be 401 00:31:27,919 --> 00:31:34,159 salaries, IT expenses, insurance. is fire department getting a 402 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,960 cut because it says they're part of they're one of the ones that are 403 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:40,880 participating in this. >> Uh I don't think there are plans review 404 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,840 I'm just trying to figure out who how we're dividing this dividing this pot of 405 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:47,840 money up. >> Well it what well fortunately or 406 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:53,519 unfortunately how we divide this pot up is statutory. So there are only only 407 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:58,799 certain things that we can charge um under this under the statute. And so 408 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:03,760 as an example we can I can charge Chris and I can charge Lisa. Uh I can in 409 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:08,399 charge uh our our code I'm sorry our our building official right we can yeah the 410 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:13,120 utilities the water the IT systems that they use uh the vehicle that the the 411 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:16,320 building official uh drives around and the insurance the gas and that sort of 412 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:19,120 thing but there there are some things that you know are are going to be exempt 413 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:23,200 not >> making sure we're not profitering off of 414 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:25,600 correct off the city I agree with the concept completely I'm just trying to 415 00:32:24,559 --> 00:32:30,720 make sure that >> we have our plan for adoption is solid 416 00:32:28,799 --> 00:32:36,799 » yes so the reason we got those two different uh the sublines is because 417 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:40,000 again statutoily only certain money can go in one pot and only certain money can 418 00:32:38,559 --> 00:32:44,080 go in another. We can only use those pots of money for certain things and and 419 00:32:42,159 --> 00:32:49,760 this and the statute prohibits us from from profiting to a great extent off of 420 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:53,039 this. Uh it it caps how much money we can roll over from year to year, things 421 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:57,679 of that nature. If the pot gets too big, we have to roll 422 00:32:54,799 --> 00:33:03,840 back the fees or or use it for for building apartment expenses. And uh if 423 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:08,320 the statute's uh fairly robust on what we can and can't use this money for, 424 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:13,600 » but if there are any money set aside, you'll earmark them for can we have 425 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:15,519 reserves in this category? >> Reserves for building their own 426 00:33:14,799 --> 00:33:20,960 building. >> Correct. Correct. And and again we can 427 00:33:17,279 --> 00:33:26,159 do that to a certain extent and again that the statute caps uh how much 428 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:29,279 reserves we can have for a building department. 429 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:34,200 » Thank you. >> Are there any other questions or 430 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,200 comments? 431 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:43,240 Did uh you say you had uh did Bill need to come up?

Can it still added that we have a 532 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:45,520 definition for service. >> I I apologize, sir. I I forgot about our 533 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:50,560 conversation, but the there it's defined in statute what a service 534 00:40:48,079 --> 00:40:54,480 animal is. Um, and I thought I put that in the 535 00:40:52,160 --> 00:41:02,839 ordinance originally. There was a section in there about uh I 536 00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:02,839 think animals in in uh in businesses. 537 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:11,200 and it it speaks to service animals uh in in that section.

I I didn't put a a I didn't put a definition of service 539 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:18,079 animals in the service animal in the in the definition section. 540 00:41:16,720 --> 00:41:21,760 » I didn't find that section. You say service animals as defined under the 541 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:27,520 American Disabilities Act are permitted in places. So I think by default that 542 00:41:23,839 --> 00:41:32,160 would be a definition 88. I would I would discourage us to redefine 543 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:36,079 No, I'm not I'm not asking about redefining. I'm just asking in the in 544 00:41:34,319 --> 00:41:41,680 the front here where we have all the definitions. Uh for example, animal 545 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:46,400 shelter at large, a bite, a cat, a community cat, and etc. stuff like that 546 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:52,640 and and that's where I was looking for it to be added um as a as a definition. 547 00:41:49,839 --> 00:41:58,720 I do see that it is covered within the document itself and if uh I'm willing to 548 00:41:56,240 --> 00:42:03,200 accept that if you don't think it needs to be as a 549 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:08,960 Sir, I I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other.

Right now, uh August was 686 00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:35,440 1,700ish. September was 1,800ish. >> Okay. 687 00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:39,119 » So, it's decreased. >> It's decreasing. Starting to go down a 688 00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:42,880 little bit. >> Again, for everybody out in the 689 00:52:40,559 --> 00:52:48,480 audience, it's all about changing behavior. It's not about writing tickets 690 00:52:45,119 --> 00:52:55,480 and so forth and changing behavior. people slow down so we won't get a kid 691 00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:55,480 or somebody hit uh in the school zone. 692 00:52:55,680 --> 00:53:00,480 Anybody else got any questions for the chief? 693 00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:05,880 » Thanks, Chief. Appreciate it. >> Thank you. 694 00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:05,880 » All right, Chief Doulus, please. 695 00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:10,119 » Good evening, 696 00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:19,200 uh for the fire department, we had uh 183 emergency incidents for the month of 697 00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:24,079 October. None of those were reportable overdoses. On that note, I know that's 698 00:53:21,599 --> 00:53:28,000 been a particular topic of interest. I did attend the uh county regional 699 00:53:25,839 --> 00:53:32,079 chief's meeting earlier this week and we were visited by Andrew Kindle from 700 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:35,359 County EMS. He's a member of their post overdose support team and I don't know 701 00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:40,800 if you're familiar with that, but it's a grant funding program that EMS runs and 702 00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:44,960 they're particularly focused on um reducing that overdose rate within the 703 00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:48,640 county. Uh, as you may or may not know, the county was fifth highest in the 704 00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:53,440 overdose rates just a couple years ago in the state of Florida. Uh, with that 705 00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:58,240 grant funding in their efforts. Um, they've cut that nearly in half. Um, 706 00:53:56,160 --> 00:54:02,160 what was 70 80 calls a month from the county is now down to about six or eight 707 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:06,079 a month. So, pretty drastic decrease. So, it's very successful program. They 708 00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:09,839 go out and visit with uh anyone that's been visited by EMS or had a horrible 709 00:54:08,079 --> 00:54:15,119 overdose. They go do a site visit with them within 24 to 72 hours and get them 710 00:54:13,359 --> 00:54:20,480 into programs and have follow up with them. So, um they've also through that 711 00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:23,920 grant funding secured nearly 10,000 doses in NAM that they're distributing 712 00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:27,119 throughout the county and those are free of charge to anybody that wants them. I 713 00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:31,760 know the police chief's already arranged nice was one of the first agencies to 714 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:34,880 have those available to them. Uh the fire department is also going to be 715 00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:39,440 putting one of those public accessible boxes outside our facility just in case 716 00:54:37,119 --> 00:54:42,000 there's any uh difference of access that people would like. So that'll be here 717 00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:45,040 later this week. We'll have those available and they'll continue to 718 00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:47,839 restock those as soon as they're used. So it's a great program. I just wanted 719 00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:53,280 to highlight it, let you know that that's in place. Uh aside from that, uh 720 00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:56,720 we attended a lot of community events in the month of October. It was fire 721 00:54:54,400 --> 00:55:00,559 prevention month. So we had over 20 plus programs that the the cruise ended were 722 00:54:58,720 --> 00:55:06,319 out visiting the school programs particularly. Um we did hire a new admin 723 00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:09,920 assistant. Most of you already met her Danny Py. So I just wanted to make sure 724 00:55:08,559 --> 00:55:13,680 that everybody knew that now got some help on board since the last meeting and 725 00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:17,520 uh she's working hard getting us dialed in on all the programs we got to work 726 00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:21,760 on. We will also be doing CPR AED training mostly for uh our city employee 727 00:55:20,079 --> 00:55:28,000 staff coming up in December and we're doing several other programs for our 728 00:55:23,359 --> 00:55:33,359 community members also next year. Uh department updates. We did fire ops 101 729 00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:36,559 as all of you know and thank you again for all of you attending. We had a great 730 00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:40,880 time with you. I hope it was educational for you. 731 00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:44,079 » When's 102? Yeah, we might just stay at the 100 level 732 00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:47,280 oneonone >> as well as you did. 733 00:55:45,839 --> 00:55:51,119 » It was tough. >> It was tough. I'm telling you. 734 00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:55,520 » I don't know if you all got to see this video. Would do I need to click 735 00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:59,280 something to play this? Do you know? >> Probably. 736 00:55:57,839 --> 00:56:02,240 » I'll give let her give a shout out before I mess something up. But I don't 737 00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:05,119 know if this got out to all of you. We did put it up on some some of our social 738 00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:08,480 media, but for those that are here in the audience, if anyone watching out on 739 00:56:06,799 --> 00:56:12,319 the internet, we had just a quick couple minute highlight reel here on what you 740 00:56:11,119 --> 00:56:14,960 guys got to do. So, I thought it would be fun for us to 741 00:56:13,359 --> 00:56:18,200 » embarrassing that I was that I couldn't do anything. 742 00:56:19,359 --> 00:56:25,319 » You got that last 743 00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:34,520 » I did. I did it on purpose. I saw you over here earlier. 744 00:56:34,559 --> 00:56:41,599 » I have to say I learned a lot. I have great appreciation for the fire 745 00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:44,559 department and what they have to do within seconds to get to the call. 746 00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,280 » Amen. >> I couldn't even put the hat on my head. 747 00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:51,720 So, >> I could gone backwards six times. 748 00:56:53,359 --> 00:56:56,839 » Oh, there you go. 749 00:57:27,839 --> 00:57:31,319 So we're out here 750 00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:45,319 scenarios for me not being able to see 751 00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:45,319 a hard 752 00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:04,359 always had tons of respect for you guys, but wow. 753 00:58:08,079 --> 00:58:18,040 Well, I guess I just prepared for the totally dark. 754 00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:18,040 You can kind of hear, but 755 00:58:18,079 --> 00:58:27,160 But definitely a little bit of sensory deprivation going on. So much harder. So 756 00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:27,160 much harder. 757 00:58:45,119 --> 00:58:50,160 Outstanding. Well, good job all of you and uh thank 758 00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:53,680 you to the production team that put that together and Chenitra spearheading that 759 00:58:51,839 --> 00:58:59,119 as well. So, I thought it was a fun day again. So, appreciate your attendance. 760 00:58:56,640 --> 00:59:01,520 Um also been working with Shenitra on a rebranding project. Well, I was going to 761 00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:04,400 bring it to you tonight, but I'm actually going to wait till the complete 762 00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:08,240 project's done. But we are changing the Emerald logo for the fire department, 763 00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:12,240 which is positioning ourselves more for uh future growth, not not being station 764 00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:16,160 specific as we potentially have future station or uh other utilization 765 00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:19,760 opportunities and just uh we'll be changing up some color schemes, etc. So, 766 00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:24,319 I'll present that to you in times ready. Uh we also took delivery of two new 767 00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:29,440 command vehicles. Those will be uh batting chiefs and and chief officers 768 00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:33,119 will be using those soon. So, uh those are getting outfitted as we speak. Uh 769 00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:36,799 new rescue and brush truck, we just finalized the specs on that. So, those 770 00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:40,640 will be going into production here about 12 to 14 months before the delivery 771 00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:44,400 though. Uh unfortunately lose two firefighters since I last spoke with you 772 00:59:42,319 --> 00:59:49,359 to outside agencies. One went to Ocean City, right? fire district and one to 773 00:59:46,079 --> 00:59:53,680 South Walton County. Uh we've got recruitment of new fire and EMS training 774 00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:56,720 division chief ongoing right now. So we have few applicants for that. We'll be 775 00:59:55,119 --> 01:00:01,599 interviewing for that here in the coming weeks. That'll be a huge asset to help 776 00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:05,040 get our EMS program up and running to the ALS level like I've spoken to you 777 01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:08,480 about. So I want to get that position in place first and then we'll look at 778 01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:13,119 recruitment opportunities again for paramedics and firefighters. 779 01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:17,839 And uh we are in the process of a full SOP SOG rewrite within the department 780 01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:21,119 organization so that we've got uh everything covered. I was advised 781 01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:25,760 earlier today we'll be probably visited by ISO insurance service offices that 782 01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:30,319 does our ratings probably in Marchish. So all these elements we have in place 783 01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:35,040 prior to that. Uh we are assisting city of ALP with 784 01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:41,680 fire inspections and training right now while their chiefs away on leave and uh 785 01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:45,119 we helping with that new Okalooa gas building as they're trying to find all 786 01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:49,359 that. So fire marshal Webster has been instrumental in getting that done for 787 01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:53,599 them. Uh we are engaging in what's called echelon front leadership 788 01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:57,040 training. It's uh was developed by Navy Seal. Dr. Will if you heard of it but 789 01:00:55,280 --> 01:01:00,240 we'll be starting that program. robust leadership training program 790 01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:03,040 putting all of our fire department personnel through it. Takes about a year 791 01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:06,640 to get through it. So, it'll be kicking off here in the next coming weeks. And 792 01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:10,720 then uh as well as operations and tactics training started earlier this 793 01:01:08,079 --> 01:01:14,880 week. I'm teaching that uh our all of our staff as well as fire department 794 01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:18,799 members from East Niceville and Valp attended that as well. That's going to 795 01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:23,760 again hopefully move us more towards a regional training and operational 796 01:01:21,359 --> 01:01:27,359 posture. So, excited about that. And then lastly, uh, wanted to recognize 797 01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:30,640 firefighter Chris Stokes. He was nominated by his peers as the 798 01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:34,400 firefighter of the year for this upcoming year. And, uh, the Nightsville 799 01:01:33,119 --> 01:01:37,119 Exchange Club had him out for lunch today. It was very nice of them to treat 800 01:01:35,599 --> 01:01:41,599 him to lunch and, uh, gave a little treat. So, uh, we'll bring him back here 801 01:01:39,599 --> 01:01:45,040 in future months as, uh, we have other opportunities. But, uh, that's all I 802 01:01:43,839 --> 01:01:47,839 have unless you have any questions for me. 803 01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:51,200 » Questions by the council. >> Just the stuff you're doing for Val P, 804 01:01:49,599 --> 01:01:56,319 are we able to charge them for anything or is it work that 805 01:01:54,160 --> 01:02:00,079 » right now uh we're just being good neighbors. Uh they're in a position 806 01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:03,920 without any inspector. So as far as inspection stuff, it's very dimminimous 807 01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:08,960 amount of time. Uh obviously we have ongoing needs and relationship. We 808 01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:12,079 revisit that. And the training stuff is just a quick quote pro. I really want 809 01:02:10,799 --> 01:02:15,839 them to be part of our training so that we can reestablish a rapport 810 01:02:13,599 --> 01:02:18,559 relationships and get them back as a response to the city that we haven't had 811 01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:23,359 since July. >> Yeah. Good. Any other questions and 812 01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:29,960 comments? >> Thanks, Chief. Appreciate it. 813 01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:29,960 » Jonathan, please. 814 01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:43,040 » Good evening, Mayor. Council, Mr. D. Good video, Chief. Okay. I have the 815 01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:45,520 council and Mr. D and the mayor get ready. Me and Ernie are working on a 816 01:02:44,319 --> 01:02:49,400 date for you guys to get down to the bottom of station 30. 817 01:02:49,599 --> 01:02:54,880 What would you call sludge ops? >> Yes, 818 01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:59,280 » sludge ops. That's >> uh they all reuse pipeline to near 819 01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:03,200 street. All fittings are here. Everything is here to complete that 820 01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:08,160 project. The county is back. They are laying pipe. They started uh back 821 01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:13,359 Monday. They have laid over 3,000 foot so far. It's about a 3.2 mile pipeline. 822 01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:16,799 So I cannot give you. It's hard to kind of give you a guess when they're going 823 01:03:15,039 --> 01:03:21,599 to be done. It's a pretty long pipeline. But they are back. have all the 824 01:03:19,039 --> 01:03:25,839 materials they need. So, this will be done this year. Finally, 825 01:03:24,799 --> 01:03:31,119 » I think this year >> this year or next year 826 01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:36,160 » or next year, sorry. Um, Aquam had a call this afternoon with Badger. Uh, 827 01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:41,359 they told me they have about 200 meters left to install. Uh, should be done the 828 01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:44,720 first or second week of December, but we'll be working with Mr. Bill on 829 01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:49,520 cleaning some things up before we they receive final payment. 830 01:03:47,039 --> 01:03:54,000 Uh our sewer rehab is complete in Palm Estates area. We have approved the site 831 01:03:52,319 --> 01:03:58,400 plan for our new 1 million gallon water tank in Demos Creek and we're be 832 01:03:56,079 --> 01:04:04,240 hopefully by Thursday submitting our FD permit for that. Uh the sewer has been 833 01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:08,559 tied in on that road closure for the new wall store. That's coming along good. 834 01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:14,000 All the plans have been approved for the green belt sewer. Uh we have 835 01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:20,000 a gravity permit back that's been accepted. So again working engineers on 836 01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:23,760 bid documents to get it out get out for bid and that is a budget item that we 837 01:04:22,079 --> 01:04:29,039 budgeted for this year get that done this year apologize I'm trying to watch 838 01:04:27,359 --> 01:04:34,079 so it's going to be an upgraded sewer line from college boulevard cherrywood 839 01:04:31,119 --> 01:04:38,319 core fix up all the flow a lot of the flow on the north side of town just 840 01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:43,039 giving it more capacity and so just to build on that it's down north cedar but 841 01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:46,559 part of part of the reason for this upgrade was because of the dorms at the 842 01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:56,720 There made 28 water calls, 16 sewer calls, made nine water taps, had five 843 01:04:52,480 --> 01:05:00,559 sewer taps, and 385 spots. Uh we have a storm water issue on Honeysuckle Way 844 01:04:58,559 --> 01:05:05,520 that we just completed. We have a drainage issue on Wood Drive that we 845 01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:09,920 will have completed before the holiday. Um we're working on that two parking 846 01:05:08,319 --> 01:05:14,880 spots that the fire department should be pouring that Thursday and get strike 847 01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:21,680 next week for public access.

So, I'm sure they'll say completion date is three years from now. 862 01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:25,920 » Whenever I get that information, I'll hear Mr. Dyson. He can reach out to you. 863 01:06:24,559 --> 01:06:30,160 » Outstanding. >> Um, 864 01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:34,319 update on the MP from Forest Road from College Boulevard to follow on down to 865 01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:39,200 Forest Rocky Bayou. You're probably wondering why you haven't seen any 866 01:06:35,599 --> 01:06:43,039 movement. Well, they actually with the military shut down the 103 gig for a 867 01:06:41,359 --> 01:06:48,480 minute. They couldn't keep waiting on them. So, they swap sides instead of 868 01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:54,400 starting to call the phone to start that rocky body driving force moving north. 869 01:06:51,119 --> 01:06:58,240 So, that's underway. Uh the Miracle League field has been 870 01:06:56,319 --> 01:07:04,559 bidded out. They do have a little bidder. uh until extra funds that the 871 01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:08,480 county needs to uh construct the park. They will not reveal who the lowest 872 01:07:06,079 --> 01:07:13,119 bidder is. It's supposed to be re releasing those funds pretty soon. Um 873 01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:18,079 and but the playground equipment has already been bought. So it should be 874 01:07:15,359 --> 01:07:21,760 here sometime in December. So as soon as the county releases the funds and the 875 01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:26,079 county can reveal who is the lowest bidder and go forward. 876 01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:29,839 » So what what does that mean for starting? 877 01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:34,799 Well, ma'am, we're waiting on the county, the commissioners to, like 878 01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:39,680 Jonathan said, the the bids came in over uh our projected budgets for both us and 879 01:07:36,799 --> 01:07:42,240 the county. And so, uh the county went back to the board of county 880 01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:48,000 commissioners to get a couple extra hundred,000 bucks. Um I I don't envision 881 01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:54,640 any problems, but I don't have a a timeline of when the county will release 882 01:07:51,119 --> 01:07:58,240 that money. uh the public works I guess not public works director any one of the 883 01:07:56,319 --> 01:08:01,920 the deputy county administrators is working with the the admin uh the 884 01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:06,000 commissioners to secure that extra money. I think he has uh just a matter 885 01:08:04,319 --> 01:08:10,559 of formality now to get it through uh the public hearing. 886 01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:15,799 So we I I anticipate we'll start construction you know first quarter next 887 01:08:12,799 --> 01:08:15,799 year. 888 01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:20,880 But once those funds are once those funds are released, they already have a 889 01:08:19,759 --> 01:08:25,839 low bidder and they already have a construction company ready to go to. 890 01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:29,679 Excuse me. They can reveal that once that happens. So it should be all good. 891 01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:34,880 That's it. Uh also talked to Karun today about the 892 01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:41,199 roundabouts the county will be installing at Cedar Avenue in college 893 01:08:37,839 --> 01:08:45,679 and call Boulevard and Palm. They're at 30% design. There's supposed to meet 894 01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:52,960 officials from Northwest Florida State College on aligning the driveway coming 895 01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:57,520 out of the college like the EOC align trying to realign that with Cedar Avenue 896 01:08:55,120 --> 01:09:01,679 to get it to fit. After that's complete, it will be 60% design. So, it's just a 897 01:08:59,839 --> 01:09:06,640 matter of the county meeting with Northwest Florida State College 898 01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:12,640 officials.

Uh we signed a task order earlier today for 901 01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:31,120 the storm water and paving north side of Turkey Creek South bathroom.

Our renovation shouldn't Three weeks there should go 909 01:10:06,159 --> 01:10:12,239 pretty quick. Just there's a lot of old people in the rotary. So it depend how 910 01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:17,920 long it takes them to paint. >> Sorry. 911 01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:23,760 » He said he said people that that sometimes work a little slower. 912 01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:28,400 » Um next couple weeks we'll be placing sidewalks on North Avenue.

Uh, during the Christmas break, we're going 915 01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:41,040 to be installing a crosswalk to the intersection of Jun Juniper Avenue and 916 01:10:38,719 --> 01:10:47,199 Rhonda Drive. Actually, carry the sidewalk out of Eagle's Landing, go down 917 01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:52,480 Juniper, and then we'll cross at Rhonda. So, we didn't decide to cross out of 918 01:10:49,679 --> 01:10:59,040 Eagles Landing to a 3ft sidewalk you can't see. So, we will come down out of 919 01:10:56,800 --> 01:11:03,840 Eagle's Landing and then cross that unit around 920 01:11:01,199 --> 01:11:08,000 Um, after the Christmas bank, we also be stalling a new crosswalk out here in the 921 01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:13,360 complex after all the Christmas is taken down to get pedestrians safely to the 922 01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:18,320 kids park.

We're working 1017 01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:53,280 with different I know the Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce and we will be 1018 01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:57,920 probably tapping into the nice valoal chamber of commerce and prescuit chamber 1019 01:18:55,840 --> 01:19:05,120 of commerce. So these are all areas that we're going to be talking about but but 1020 01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:10,239 sorry specifically I to say something about Mayor Hinkle and the wonderful 1021 01:19:08,159 --> 01:19:15,520 town of Niceville. I don't know if um we he Mayor Hingle 1022 01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:20,480 was very very very supportive when I approached him about putting in what's 1023 01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:26,560 called a liberty tree and that liberty tree was planted I 1024 01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:32,560 think in March and it's really growing well. So thank 1025 01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:36,000 you very much >> and going to and I'm going to tell you a 1026 01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:41,199 little bit about a liberty tree and then I'm going to go on and talk about 1027 01:19:37,440 --> 01:19:45,760 something else. The liberty tree was something that was used in colonial 1028 01:19:44,239 --> 01:19:49,920 times because of course they didn't have phones and most people couldn't afford 1029 01:19:47,679 --> 01:19:54,080 news newspapers and stuff like that. So they would have notices put out on a 1030 01:19:52,159 --> 01:20:01,760 tree and there or people would come and talk 1031 01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:04,880 at the liberty tree. So uh if you're wondering what it is and why it was 1032 01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:09,360 chosen. The story the liberty tree is a large tree. This the one that 1033 01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:16,159 specifically we started with was a large tree that was planted in uh colonial 1034 01:20:12,159 --> 01:20:20,239 Boston in 1646 and was nearly 120 years old by the time of the American 1035 01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:24,800 Revolution. The area under its branches became a popular meeting place for 1036 01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:29,040 Boston citizens. The Sons of Liberty, a secret society who advocated for the 1037 01:20:27,440 --> 01:20:36,000 rights of cons would meet there at the tree and stage protests. In 1765, large 1038 01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:42,600 protests occurred specifically to argue against the Stamp Act. Does anybody 1039 01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:42,600 remember that in American history? 1040 01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:50,960 A crowd of pro protesters did take an effigy of the house of the local tax 1041 01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:56,719 collector and they proceeded to behead and burn the likeness before assaulting 1042 01:20:52,800 --> 01:21:01,120 his home. He he retired the next next day by the way. The next year the stamp 1043 01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:04,560 act was repealed and the citizens of Boston gathered again at the Liberty 1044 01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:08,320 Tree and lanterns were hung at the branches the celebration. This liberty 1045 01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:14,640 tree continued to be a place for protests and public displays through the 1046 01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:20,159 1770s. But the British cut it down. Yes, they did. They had replanted it and 1047 01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:26,800 and after that time there were all the other big cities joined forces and put 1048 01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:32,560 liberty trees up. But because we have our own burial, we were the sec we the 1049 01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:40,600 first city in Okaloosa County to put up a liberty tree. Thank you so much. Mayor 1050 01:21:36,080 --> 01:21:40,600 Hingle, would you please come forward? 1051 01:21:41,360 --> 01:21:48,080 And if anybody wants to apply our here, take these. Just pass them around.

If anybody has any questions, I'd be 1078 01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:45,600 happy to answer this right next to talk about. 1079 01:23:44,400 --> 01:23:48,480 » Anybody have any questions? >> I don't have a question, but I do 1080 01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:53,520 remember you from the Liberty Tree.

State your name and address for the record. 1130 01:27:46,719 --> 01:27:56,800 It's Susan Hudson, 2011 Alonzo Court, Nville, Florida. 1131 01:27:52,800 --> 01:28:03,920 I um had some home repairs done on my house November, December last year. 1132 01:28:01,440 --> 01:28:08,080 And I looked the contractor in the eye and I said, "Are you licensed in the 1133 01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:13,120 state of Florida to do these repairs?" And he looked me 1134 01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:16,159 in the eyes and said, "Yes." And I said, "Okay. 1135 01:28:14,480 --> 01:28:22,960 I'm going tell you right now, if you screw me, I want an orgasm out of it 1136 01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:30,320 because one other time I got screwed. Well, I've been dealing with this since 1137 01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:35,760 November of last year and I got nothing from the city. I kept calling trying to 1138 01:28:33,120 --> 01:28:41,600 get code enforcement to come and they never would. So, I have finally turned 1139 01:28:37,920 --> 01:28:49,840 that over to the state of Florida and I talked to David 1140 01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:57,120 and he told me that an officer had went and talked to Randy Hub Banks who was 1141 01:28:53,040 --> 01:29:04,080 the guy that did the work. I have an email from Wendy 1142 01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:09,840 who finally said after the police chief and David both told me that an officer 1143 01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:16,320 went and talked to Randy that said 1144 01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:26,080 that The police officer never went and spoke to Randy Bank after this one and 1145 01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:31,280 this one told me that they had. Okay. My house 1146 01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:37,920 has not passed inspection. And then I had the county. He called the 1147 01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:42,199 county and a guy named Bailey and I can't pronounce his last name. 1148 01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:54,239 to appraise my house for tax purposes. And I said, "Why is it being appraised? 1149 01:29:52,239 --> 01:30:00,960 I didn't have anything done. I had repairs done." And I said, "It hasn't 1150 01:29:57,760 --> 01:30:08,360 even passed inspection." So then 1151 01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:08,360 my neighbors behind me, their 1152 01:30:08,400 --> 01:30:15,840 briers, vines, everything else was growing up. between my fence and they 1153 01:30:13,520 --> 01:30:21,679 were cracking it and I had snakes and rodents coming underneath my fence.
