1
00:00:08,010 --> 00:00:15,520
I'm going to call the meeting to order. You don't mind having a seat. Thank you. All right.

2
00:00:15,620 --> 00:00:24,980
I'm calling to order the Village of North Humbi to regular session meeting. On Thursday, February 27th at 6 o'clock. All members of Council are present along with our

3
00:00:24,980 --> 00:00:29,660
Attorney, Village Manager, Deputy Village Manager, Village Clerk, our chief of police, and I see some

4
00:00:29,660 --> 00:00:34,820
department heads in the audience as well. Thank you for joining us. Please rise for the pledge.

5
00:00:39,180 --> 00:00:46,260
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands,

6
00:00:46,580 --> 00:00:51,700
one nation under God in the visible liberty and justice for all.

7
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,220
Thank you. Before I begin, are there any additions to lesions or modifications to the agenda?

8
00:00:59,220 --> 00:01:00,360
I'm not aware of that.

9
00:01:00,900 --> 00:01:01,540
No, no.

10
00:01:01,540 --> 00:01:01,680
No, no.

11
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:02,100
Okay.

12
00:01:02,220 --> 00:01:02,880
Thank you.

13
00:01:03,460 --> 00:01:08,440
Well, we have one very special award to give this evening.

14
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:15,860
This is a word, excuse me, this is an award for business of the season spring to Lot

15
00:01:15,860 --> 00:01:16,700
Brothers Inc.

16
00:01:17,140 --> 00:01:21,000
Who has been a cornerstone of our village for over 60 years.

17
00:01:21,820 --> 00:01:24,660
I think most of you know I grew up in the village and I certainly remember going with

18
00:01:24,660 --> 00:01:29,440
my father when I was a little girl to buy bait and fishing poles and things we couldn't afford,

19
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,640
but he did anyway because he loved it.

20
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:37,260
So, and I'm sure other many other members of the audience have stories to add to that.

21
00:01:37,580 --> 00:01:40,660
So, I'm going to read a little bit of history and then we'll go from there.

22
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:42,420
So, good evening, everyone.

23
00:01:43,460 --> 00:01:46,600
I just, my great honor to recognize a truly outstanding local businesses.

24
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:49,820
I've been a cornerstone of North Palm Beach for over 60 years.

25
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,560
In coordination with the Village Administration and the Business Advisory Board,

26
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,080
We proudly present the business of the season award to a lot of others.

27
00:01:57,860 --> 00:02:03,960
Since 1962, lot of others custom rods, bait and tackle, has served fishing enthusiasts

28
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:09,180
from all over South Florida, offering specialized products tailored to the needs of our

29
00:02:09,180 --> 00:02:10,060
coastal community.

30
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:16,220
Their legacy traces back to the 1930s in Baldwin, Long Island, where their grandfather, Archie

31
00:02:16,220 --> 00:02:18,600
Seelot, first began as a bait distributor.

32
00:02:19,500 --> 00:02:23,840
Despite the challenges over the year, George and John Lot have continued to grow the business,

33
00:02:24,420 --> 00:02:29,160
pioneering innovations in fishing gear, and earning the trust of generations of customers.

34
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:36,620
Beyond their contributions to the fishing industry, Lot Brothers is continuously given back to North Palm Beach.

35
00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:43,720
Their involvement in local fishing tournaments, youth athletics, and charitable events showcases their dedication to our community.

36
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:48,480
Perhaps their greatest achievement was leading the grassroots efforts to rebuild Juno Beach

37
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:54,640
Peer after its destruction in 1984 ensuring it remains a beloved landmark today.

38
00:02:55,180 --> 00:03:01,820
Georgian John Lott on behalf of the Business Advisory Board and the Village Council we are honored to award you to present you with us award.

39
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:09,460
Your family's story is one of resilience, passion and dedication, and we are so grateful for the impact you have made on North Palm Beach.

40
00:03:10,060 --> 00:03:13,520
Please join me in congratulating a lot, brothers, on this well-deserved message.

41
00:03:29,070 --> 00:03:31,190
I'm going to call you up in a minute to get your award.

42
00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:35,010
But I believe I have some other people who wish to say a few words.

43
00:03:36,410 --> 00:03:37,290
Sorry, sorry.

44
00:03:38,170 --> 00:03:41,030
Mr. Rob Ren and Bob, would you like to come approach?

45
00:03:41,590 --> 00:03:41,990
Thank you.

46
00:03:47,530 --> 00:03:49,070
Thank you Mr. Ren and Bob.

47
00:03:49,310 --> 00:03:52,310
I came here tonight for the sole purpose of sharing

48
00:03:52,310 --> 00:03:58,170
at this great event, gradually, George and John, I walked into their store for 40 years ago

49
00:03:58,170 --> 00:04:04,850
as a 25-year-old and for 40 years they've taken me under their wing, like a lot of us here

50
00:04:04,850 --> 00:04:11,230
in the room, and it taught me pretty much a major portion of what I know. I was in there this week

51
00:04:11,230 --> 00:04:17,290
and found out about the award. I went into the store for a box of squid and they're always

52
00:04:17,830 --> 00:04:24,830
sharing their advice and what they say sharing advice a lot of people call up selling.

53
00:04:26,570 --> 00:04:30,750
I walked in for a box of squid and I walked out with $40 worth of lures.

54
00:04:34,170 --> 00:04:36,490
That's why they're such a business man.

55
00:04:38,090 --> 00:04:46,030
I will tell you that for 20 years, they have been begging me to be a part of the Maui Fishing Team, a very exclusive North Palm Beach Club.

56
00:04:46,030 --> 00:04:59,630
And their resume just wasn't there, but with some nice award, I think their resume is finding a point where they can both be members of the North Palm Beach County officials.

57
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:06,800
Great.

58
00:05:07,340 --> 00:05:13,760
Great that the business advisory board is created this award to recognize business status of Kudos to them.

59
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:14,820
Thank you.

60
00:05:17,930 --> 00:05:21,470
I have no other cards, didn't anybody else want to say anything?

61
00:05:21,930 --> 00:05:22,630
Well, we are so grateful.

62
00:05:22,790 --> 00:05:23,390
Would you please come?

63
00:05:23,710 --> 00:05:24,490
No, I have one more.

64
00:05:24,630 --> 00:05:26,310
Mr. Atwater, do you want to approach the dyes?

65
00:05:27,630 --> 00:05:28,430
Thank you.

66
00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:36,860
My dad dropped me off at a motel in St.

67
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,060
Ireland. I want to play high school football.

68
00:05:40,540 --> 00:05:43,220
And so I could teach high, oh, to overbeer a beach high school.

69
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,340
And first day, they came out to celebrate.

70
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,200
And they gave me a brand new pair of shoulder pads.

71
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,920
I said, this must be in the state, there's no good news to see.

72
00:05:52,180 --> 00:05:54,400
No, that's used also.

73
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,440
So it's fun around, and it had the initials in there, G-Lot.

74
00:05:59,020 --> 00:06:01,320
So it looks like it had never hit anything.

75
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,600
That's a brand new.

76
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,260
The other thing I want to ask is, John Lott wouldn't sign my yearbook.

77
00:06:10,860 --> 00:06:13,200
I thought I'd break it.

78
00:06:14,420 --> 00:06:16,220
That's what I want to do if you were in front of me.

79
00:06:39,380 --> 00:06:43,640
Well, I don't know how anybody's going to talk to those, but does anybody else want to say anything?

80
00:06:44,260 --> 00:06:46,060
You know, this is why we love North Palm, right?

81
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,300
Thank you so much.

82
00:06:47,300 --> 00:06:50,500
Would you please come up and accept our flag and award? Thank you.

83
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,480
If I don't offer to anything else, say thank you.

84
00:07:44,410 --> 00:07:57,110
What anybody else from the audience is like to come up and take a photo with since you're all here for them. Mr. Manninglums, if you'd like to come up, if you'd like to come up, if you'd like to come up.

85
00:08:00,230 --> 00:08:10,330
We're all about group photos here, so come on up, can you use your cameras so you can be in the photo?

86
00:08:38,510 --> 00:08:46,730
Thank you, thank you very much.

87
00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:57,490
Good.

88
00:09:00,310 --> 00:09:00,950
Good book.

89
00:09:05,010 --> 00:09:05,470
Zero.

90
00:09:14,540 --> 00:09:15,040
Right.

91
00:09:16,780 --> 00:09:17,280
Absolutely.

92
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:18,980
I know.

93
00:09:20,420 --> 00:09:21,420
You're welcome.

94
00:09:22,540 --> 00:09:25,280
I'm so proud of you.

95
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:25,960
I'm so proud of you.

96
00:09:27,380 --> 00:09:28,860
I'm so proud of you.

97
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,520
Thank you.

98
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,480
Good story. Good job, George.

99
00:09:33,580 --> 00:09:34,760
I want to thank you very much.

100
00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:40,980
Thank you.

101
00:09:43,540 --> 00:09:43,720
Thank you.

102
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:44,960
Thank you.

103
00:09:45,340 --> 00:09:46,020
This is for you.

104
00:09:46,420 --> 00:09:48,000
Oh, I want to just check it out.

105
00:09:48,500 --> 00:09:48,880
Thank you.

106
00:09:49,660 --> 00:09:50,060
You're ready?

107
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:50,480
Thank you.

108
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:51,240
Thank you.

109
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:52,820
Okay.

110
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,940
It's just a bit of a pity.

111
00:09:55,260 --> 00:09:55,700
Thank you.

112
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,420
I want to know if it's a pay for it.

113
00:09:58,900 --> 00:10:00,080
Do I want to say it?

114
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:00,260
Yes.

115
00:10:08,740 --> 00:10:20,440
And it goes all the way down, and then all the way on the other side of the way, and we couldn't have

116
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:27,400
been here six and three years without the sport in North Palm Beach at all as residents and

117
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,700
and everything else with that, so thank you.

118
00:10:31,700 --> 00:10:32,060
Thank you.

119
00:10:32,380 --> 00:10:33,420
Appreciate it.

120
00:10:35,550 --> 00:10:38,870
Through the years we've mentioned a lot of kids,

121
00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:41,670
and very proud of that, between jobs,

122
00:10:42,670 --> 00:10:44,270
and coached the links in your league.

123
00:10:45,310 --> 00:10:45,670
Thank you.

124
00:10:46,770 --> 00:10:47,810
Thank you.

125
00:10:48,210 --> 00:10:48,490
Thank you.

126
00:10:48,690 --> 00:10:48,990
Thank you, guys.

127
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,800
We would have a lovely way to start off our evening,

128
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,420
so we'd have to be really, really nice.

129
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,140
All right, moving on.

130
00:11:02,500 --> 00:11:05,140
We have a proclamation for Let's Move on Beach County Month.

131
00:11:06,020 --> 00:11:09,620
Proplamation Village of North Palm Beach, Officer of the Mayor, let's move Palm Beach County

132
00:11:09,620 --> 00:11:10,380
Monk.

133
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,900
Whereas the Village of North Palm Beach takes special notice and acknowledges exceptional

134
00:11:13,900 --> 00:11:17,900
organizations that help residents who live work and play within the jurisdiction and,

135
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:23,000
whereas in 2010, Digital Bibles was founded to reach out to underserved youth in Palm Beach

136
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,680
County by empowering them through dance fitness technology in the arts and, whereas Digital

137
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:31,860
Bibles partners with the Palm Health Foundation annually to hold, opposed its let's move

138
00:11:31,860 --> 00:11:36,960
to change physical activity challenge, a county-wide initiative that focuses on physical activity,

139
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,780
nutrition and healthy behaviors, and we're at a digital vibe ink and Palm Health Foundation

140
00:11:41,780 --> 00:11:46,540
present the annual challenge which takes place annually from March 1 to 31, and encourages

141
00:11:46,540 --> 00:11:50,460
individuals within and beyond Palm Beach County to take charge of their health, by participating in

142
00:11:50,460 --> 00:11:55,280
fun fitness exercises, and we're as the let's move initiative was originally an additional

143
00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:01,420
national level level, first by first lady Michelle Obama in 2010 with the goal of decreasing child

144
00:12:01,420 --> 00:12:05,020
of obesity throughout the United States due to the fact that nearly one and three children in the

145
00:12:05,020 --> 00:12:06,720
United States are overweight or obese.

146
00:12:07,340 --> 00:12:11,400
And if this problem persists, one-third of all children born in 2000 or later will suffer

147
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:16,080
from diabetes that's put in their life, or will face other obesity-related health problems

148
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,600
such as heart disease, high blood pressure, asthma, and cancer.

149
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:24,000
And whereas digital lives and a palm health foundation invite all residents to take the challenge

150
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:29,240
to move by forming teens, registering online, committing to exercising for at least 30 minutes

151
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,140
day throughout the month of March, and logging their minutes on the Let's Move website,

152
00:12:34,580 --> 00:12:40,140
www.let'smovepdc.org. In 2012, Palm Beach County logged 100,000 minutes in the first year

153
00:12:40,140 --> 00:12:45,680
of the challenge, and we have met the challenge each year right since, rising in 2023 to over

154
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:51,220
100 million minutes of exercise logged. Now, therefore, I Susan Bickel, Mayor of North Palm Beach,

155
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:56,220
do hereby of the claim the month of March has Let's Move Palm Beach County, and urge all citizens

156
00:12:56,220 --> 00:13:00,440
to join us in moving to improve their fitness, mental health, and overall health.

I don't know if I've any one here tonight to accept please would you like to come up

158
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:04,860
and accept the award?

Thank you.

160
00:13:24,190 --> 00:13:25,070
Thank you.

Thank you.

162
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:39,800
Thank you.

163
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:40,140
Oh, sure.

164
00:13:43,660 --> 00:13:45,880
I'm actually more excited for a lot of others.

165
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,060
I didn't know they were going to be receiving that fabulous award.

166
00:13:49,420 --> 00:13:49,540
Yeah.

167
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:50,900
And that's so heartwarming.

168
00:13:51,260 --> 00:13:52,300
I'm doing them a long time.

169
00:13:52,780 --> 00:13:53,460
Thank you.

170
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:53,860
Thank you.

171
00:13:53,860 --> 00:14:00,180
I don't know. We appreciate your effort to keep everyone healthy. It's important. Thank you.

172
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,160
Thank you very, very much.

173
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:07,540
Okay. Moving on to Council Business Matters.

174
00:14:07,540 --> 00:14:09,280
Oh, no. I'm sorry. Approval of minutes.

175
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:10,300
Minutes of the regular session.

176
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:11,600
How January 9, 2025.

177
00:14:11,900 --> 00:14:13,340
I need a motion and a second to approve.

178
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:14,620
Second.

179
00:14:15,420 --> 00:14:17,520
Move by Mrs. Garrison, seconded by Mr. Puillo.

180
00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:19,500
Any council corrections, additions or deletions?

181
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:20,760
No.

182
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,300
Hearing none moving on to a vote, all those in favor?

183
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:24,080
Aye.

184
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:24,720
Any opposed?

185
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:25,740
Passes 5-0.

186
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:27,960
Now, moving on to council business matters.

187
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,040
Statements from the public positions and communications.

188
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,460
I have one card that is not well.

189
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:33,500
I have one card.

190
00:14:33,660 --> 00:14:35,040
Let's see if I've got more.

191
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:35,940
That is on.

192
00:14:36,300 --> 00:14:41,600
I have a couple more that are now on items that are not on the agenda.

193
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,420
Let's Mr. Samadhi.

194
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:54,660
Good evening.

195
00:14:54,660 --> 00:14:59,960
They often cancel the genders of many eyes.

196
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:12,540
So, there's a lot of concerns on it for consideration and it's impractical that each item would be discussed in detail to the level that everybody is going to be happy.

197
00:15:14,100 --> 00:15:19,980
As a result of some discussions, I had with a couple of my neighbors and then,

198
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:32,860
the last council meeting prompted me to come here and say that some of the items may be well

199
00:15:32,860 --> 00:15:38,640
worth discussing a few minutes longer than the others.

200
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:46,200
An example was last council meeting when I stood here and I said that council pays for

201
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,740
for six-inch sidewalk and gets four inches or less.

202
00:15:51,220 --> 00:15:54,480
One of the council person's rightfully asked the staff

203
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,200
if sidewalk is four inches or six inches.

204
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,400
And the answer was four inches.

205
00:16:04,220 --> 00:16:06,360
Said, one citizen says six inches,

206
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,580
and that four inch was accepted,

207
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,600
that's the senanzala natural follow-up question

208
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:18,960
would have been, is there a six-inch side walk in, and so would have been yes.

209
00:16:19,740 --> 00:16:25,220
In the price would, of course, be different than four-inch side walk in, we have asked,

210
00:16:26,020 --> 00:16:28,360
when do we use six-inch side walk?

211
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:39,560
And we use side walk of six-inch thickness, when we, or any place that is subject to the

212
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:45,360
traffic such as a drive and then the other question followed our question would have been the

213
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:50,460
section of the side of the tie was discussing was that part of the driveway and so would

214
00:16:50,460 --> 00:16:57,860
have been yes. So that would have resolved the issue that, yes, sometimes the village base for six

215
00:16:57,860 --> 00:17:06,850
and made reports that that section which was supposed to have been six interesting was less than four.

216
00:17:06,850 --> 00:17:11,390
but contract is not going to be beautiful for a private.

217
00:17:12,510 --> 00:17:16,510
So in that case, when this subject came about,

218
00:17:16,810 --> 00:17:21,270
I said, how come you say it six and D.C.?

219
00:17:21,270 --> 00:17:22,090
I said that.

220
00:17:22,090 --> 00:17:22,870
Council was in.

221
00:17:23,390 --> 00:17:23,850
Thank you.

222
00:17:24,950 --> 00:17:25,610
Thank you.

223
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:28,560
Thank you.

224
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:29,240
Kendra Zellner.

225
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,680
Kendra Zellner 604 Law Court.

226
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:40,700
Dear Mayor and Council members,

227
00:17:40,900 --> 00:17:44,400
I'm here to express my strong support for the environmental committee

228
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,000
and the invaluable work it contributes to our community.

229
00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:52,500
Our committee has completed many successful projects such as our recycling initiatives,

230
00:17:53,220 --> 00:17:57,760
shade tree studies, tree giveaway programs, the community garden, and of course for a village.

231
00:17:58,820 --> 00:18:03,620
Some of our committee members actively go beyond just attending the monthly meetings,

232
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:10,860
and we encourage, we engage directly with residents by going door to door to promote environmental projects.

233
00:18:10,860 --> 00:18:15,200
We also organize of interesting speaker series at the Country Club.

234
00:18:15,220 --> 00:18:20,460
I know you have all attended, and as you already know, we're in the process of implementing

235
00:18:20,460 --> 00:18:24,160
a vertical oyster garden at Anchorage Park to improve our water quality.

236
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,560
Well, I'm not fully aware of the reason behind the upcoming workshop session to review

237
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,780
all boards and committees, but I want to emphasize the critical role that the environmental

238
00:18:33,780 --> 00:18:36,940
committee plays in preserving and improving the community.

239
00:18:37,380 --> 00:18:43,480
I truly love being in North Palm Beach resident, but even more than that, I love being a volunteer on this environmental committee.

240
00:18:44,180 --> 00:18:46,460
And last thing I want to say is a big thank you to Mark.

241
00:18:46,500 --> 00:18:48,700
So I appreciate that for all of his support.

242
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,300
He's been leading the environmental committee for a while now,

243
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,060
and I know that you're not the easiest committee to work with,

244
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,060
but he has been very patient and very supportive at every meeting.

245
00:18:59,160 --> 00:18:59,800
So thank you.

246
00:19:00,180 --> 00:19:01,140
Thank you.

247
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:02,280
Mary Phillips.

248
00:19:10,380 --> 00:19:17,460
Mary Phillips by 25-Eptide Drive and also I wanted to talk about how great it is to be on the

249
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:21,760
environmental committee and I wanted to give you an update on the last couple of waste

250
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:29,800
turbines that we had on February 15th where we made the vertical oyster gardens at 41 residents

251
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:38,860
showed up for two hours and went through 23 five gallon buckets of shell and strong them up and made

252
00:19:38,860 --> 00:19:48,140
112 box, and six of them already went home to people with docs, and some people we know.

253
00:19:48,140 --> 00:19:49,520
I'm trying to put it on.

254
00:19:51,240 --> 00:20:00,180
And actually Tom's five for gave us a really good idea about weighing them and tagging them so that we can follow up and collect data afterwards.

255
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,000
So we're going to do that with the other 106 that we still have.

256
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:11,900
And then the next weekend on February 22nd, when Tom Spoke at the Country Club for the environmental committee speaker series,

257
00:20:12,260 --> 00:20:18,120
that was really well attended as well, and it was a great, great presentation.

258
00:20:18,540 --> 00:20:24,280
I learned a whole lot more and I thought I knew some things about this, so it was a good thing that we were all there.

259
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:29,260
And one takeaway is that we're going to need a lot of bugs.

260
00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:35,280
So we are going to have a lot more bug making events in the future, just a little bit of

261
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:35,420
warning.

262
00:20:35,940 --> 00:20:40,320
And then also about that April 12th event, it occurred to me with a lot of brothers people

263
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:40,940
here.

264
00:20:42,380 --> 00:20:45,960
We don't really know anything about fishing, and there's going to be a fishing clinic for kids.

265
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:50,100
So I would like to put out a call for volunteers for the fishermen of the community to help

266
00:20:50,100 --> 00:20:51,620
us that day as well.

267
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:52,820
We can build a new system.

268
00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:53,800
Thank you.

269
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,120
I got a lot of brothers who had put up a flyer.

270
00:20:57,860 --> 00:21:01,520
I've got a lot better so I've put up a flyer.

271
00:21:01,660 --> 00:21:03,820
Thank you very much.

272
00:21:03,980 --> 00:21:04,640
Yeah, I had the flu.

273
00:21:04,820 --> 00:21:07,900
I really wanted to go see Mr. twice for presentation that I was sick.

274
00:21:08,220 --> 00:21:09,120
Thank you.

275
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:15,180
Mr. County, can we get the April 12 event advertised and maybe put out a call for some

276
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,520
Fisherman in the community because I know we have a large fishing community.

277
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,840
Okay, I have no other cards from the public on this section, so consent agenda.

278
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:29,900
I have two items on the consent agenda, a resolution of proving a third amendment for the contract

279
00:21:29,900 --> 00:21:34,400
to building department services with the CAP Government Inc to increase the total amount

280
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:40,580
of compensation for fiscal year 2025 from 50,000 to 150,000 and authorizing the Village Manager

281
00:21:40,580 --> 00:21:44,820
to execute the third agreement and receiving for file minutes of the business advisory board

282
00:21:44,820 --> 00:21:49,920
meeting held 121-25. Does any council member wish to remove an item for further discussion?

283
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:53,880
Okay, I need a motion a second to approve.

284
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:54,780
So moved.

285
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:55,140
Second.

286
00:21:55,500 --> 00:21:58,600
Moved by Mrs. Garrison, seconded by Mr. Puyo, Council vote.

287
00:21:58,820 --> 00:21:59,340
All those in favor?

288
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:00,420
Aye.

289
00:22:00,420 --> 00:22:01,400
Any opposed? Passes?

290
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:01,800
50.

291
00:22:02,620 --> 00:22:04,980
Mr. Rubin, declaration of expert take communications.

292
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:05,740
No, items.

293
00:22:06,100 --> 00:22:09,720
Okay, so moving on to item six, public hearings and quasi-judicial matters.

294
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,500
Public hearing and second reading of ordinance 2025-03.

295
00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:15,180
Mr. Attorney, please read.

296
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,760
Yes, Mayor Norton is the Village Council of Village and North Palm Beach floor.

297
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:23,620
remaining article six, noise control of chapter 19, offenses and miscellaneous provisions

298
00:22:23,620 --> 00:22:28,840
of the village code of ordinances by a remaining section 19-104, permissible time for construction

299
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:29,820
activity to modify.

300
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,760
The permissable hours for construction activity in the use of power driven machinery, providing for

301
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,580
codification, providing for saverability, providing for conflicts and providing for an effective

302
00:22:38,580 --> 00:22:43,500
date. I need a motion and a second to adopt an act on sector reading, so moved, so I can move

303
00:22:43,500 --> 00:22:48,780
by Dr. Searsley, seconded my Mrs. Central Land East App presentation. Yes, Mayor. So we did have a lot

304
00:22:48,780 --> 00:22:55,360
of discussion on this at the last meeting on first reading. So the ordinance has been modified for construction

305
00:22:55,360 --> 00:23:01,340
hours. The construction hours were 8 to 8 Monday through Saturday. Under the revision,

306
00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:08,100
it is 8 to 5. It's Monday through Friday. I'm sorry. I was going to have this whole thing.

307
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:19,780
Okay, it's 8 to 5.30 Monday through Friday, Saturday 9 to 5.30 and none on Sunday. And then

308
00:23:19,780 --> 00:23:25,000
for the power driven machinery, it was 8 to 8 on weekdays and Saturday is in 10 to 8 on Sundays.

309
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:31,400
and that's been changed to 8 to 5 30 on weekdays, 9 to 5 30 on Saturdays and 10 to 5 30

310
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:32,020
on Sundays.

311
00:23:33,300 --> 00:23:36,380
So any questions I'd be happy to answer them if I didn't butcher that too badly?

312
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,920
So I am going to open public hearing and take public comment.

313
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:43,800
I have no cards.

314
00:23:43,940 --> 00:23:46,440
Does anyone in the public wish to comment on this?

315
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,960
Okay, closing public comment and closing public hearing counsel discussion.

316
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,100
I actually have a comment if I can go first.

317
00:23:54,100 --> 00:24:22,940
I don't know that I processed that we were going to cut power tools off at 530 because I know a lot of my neighbors who still know their lawns do it when they get home from work at 6 or 630 and I don't think it bothers anybody and that would be my I still do my own yard and I often have to do it after work and cannot be done by 530 and I think my neighbors would rather have my mower on and have my yard cut than not.

318
00:24:22,940 --> 00:24:28,980
So I had assumed the power, like the yard-type power tools were going to be the same.

319
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:30,880
I would agree actually, I had the same.

320
00:24:31,460 --> 00:24:32,660
I didn't realize it either.

321
00:24:33,980 --> 00:24:35,080
So I'm like mowers.

322
00:24:35,780 --> 00:24:38,360
And in the summer months, when it's late until 8pm,

323
00:24:38,860 --> 00:24:42,200
Yard guys, and Lonsbro twice as fast.

324
00:24:42,540 --> 00:24:44,320
Everyone has to mow their lawn after work.

325
00:24:45,060 --> 00:24:49,500
And the professionals who work at sometimes are finishing their jobs up at 6.5.36.

326
00:24:49,500 --> 00:24:54,300
And I've never, I've personally never heard to noise complaints about someone mowing their

327
00:24:54,300 --> 00:24:54,760
line.

328
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:56,780
I've heard them early Sunday morning.

329
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,300
I know they're really mowing their lines.

330
00:24:58,300 --> 00:24:58,500
They're really mowing their lines.

331
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,460
I've never heard a complaint from a resident of like, and oh my gosh, they were mowing

332
00:25:02,460 --> 00:25:03,600
their line this afternoon.

333
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,900
So I think I probably, I think this is solving a problem that was not there.

334
00:25:10,180 --> 00:25:11,520
I would keep it until 8 p.m.

335
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,560
for the, well, in a personal personal, personal, personal, personal, personal, personal, personal,

336
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:17,540
It doesn't be personal.

337
00:25:17,540 --> 00:25:19,240
He emphasized personal.

338
00:25:20,020 --> 00:25:22,160
You're a patient in your class in a clock.

339
00:25:23,020 --> 00:25:25,400
But not a lot more service.

340
00:25:25,740 --> 00:25:26,780
Cutting your grass any more.

341
00:25:26,780 --> 00:25:27,740
But then how it's going to be.

342
00:25:28,020 --> 00:25:32,220
Well, yeah, there's no distinction currently in the code between personal and commercial.

343
00:25:32,260 --> 00:25:33,700
And I'm okay with it.

344
00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:35,500
Like I said, I have because you'll abuse it.

345
00:25:35,540 --> 00:25:37,540
If it's a commercial people will abuse it.

346
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,300
But I think they don't want to be bored.

347
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:41,260
They don't want to be bored.

348
00:25:41,260 --> 00:25:41,640
Yeah.

349
00:25:42,420 --> 00:25:43,440
They have long days.

350
00:25:43,580 --> 00:25:46,060
They don't want to be working at eight o'clock at night.

351
00:25:46,060 --> 00:25:48,740
I have a question, Mr. Huff, in your experience.

352
00:25:50,220 --> 00:25:55,400
I mean, adultment or chief, do we get complaints about the long guys working at 6 p.m.

353
00:25:55,500 --> 00:25:59,480
Like I said, I've never had a resident complaint to me about that early morning, yes.

354
00:25:59,700 --> 00:26:00,640
Never in the evenings.

355
00:26:01,180 --> 00:26:04,780
Now, Vice Mayor, I think the majority of the calls that we get are before eight.

356
00:26:05,220 --> 00:26:08,560
You know, so it's, I've seen it when, and I stop as well.

357
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,520
I know the chief has as well as, you know, stop and stop it.

358
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,900
I'm telling you, you need to stop cutting until eight o'clock.

359
00:26:13,900 --> 00:26:18,100
It was most of the commercial that they do as a long U.S. one, and it debuts the residential.

360
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:28,900
So I've really never encountered in my 19 years of anything after the fact, because most of the guys are gone by five, six o'clock at the latest.

361
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,580
So I would amend this to be as it was for that.

362
00:26:34,660 --> 00:26:36,920
My only issue is Sundays.

363
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,540
And it's not the residents cutting the grass on Sunday.

364
00:26:40,740 --> 00:26:42,740
It's the commercial people cutting the grass on Sundays.

365
00:26:44,140 --> 00:26:46,380
Because it's happened at the house next door to me.

366
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,900
Yeah, that's interesting because I've never in all my years had a once or I mean all my

367
00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:53,000
neighbors have one service is pretty well not all, but most of them do.

368
00:26:53,420 --> 00:26:56,060
And they just get in Thursdays, the big day Tuesdays and Thursdays.

369
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,900
I'm really shocked that you've got some coming on Sunday because most people want to rest.

370
00:27:00,300 --> 00:27:04,000
Is that what is today as the rule stands today?

371
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,220
It's allowed on Sunday.

372
00:27:05,220 --> 00:27:07,700
It's a lot on Sunday between 10 and 8.

373
00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:15,940
So you're outside by the pool and two o'clock in the afternoon with your grandkids and you're having to fight the noise for the...

374
00:27:15,940 --> 00:27:21,080
Is that every Sunday or is that on Sundays where I have a lot on service, right?

375
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:22,500
So I don't mind my own house.

376
00:27:23,020 --> 00:27:31,000
And the only times they ever come on the weekends is when it's been raining all week long and that's their first opportunity to be at the house.

377
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,440
I would hate to take away someone's ability to move their lawn on the Sunday because that's

378
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,580
I mean, people have to be able to move their lawn on Sunday.

379
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,200
You're speaking about the residents, which is okay, I understand it.

380
00:27:42,260 --> 00:27:44,480
When I was 30 years old, I cut my grass too.

381
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,200
I worked money through Friday and Saturday and Sunday was the only day I could do it.

382
00:27:48,340 --> 00:27:51,920
I mean, the noise is the same, whether it's a resident doing or it's a professional company.

383
00:27:52,100 --> 00:27:53,900
Anything, a professional company's faster.

384
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,680
I mean, I don't know, I feel like it's an enforcement issue really to try to separate between

385
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:06,860
And a resident, does someone else just list it as a resident only?

386
00:28:07,500 --> 00:28:08,500
Yeah, but who are you going to call?

387
00:28:08,700 --> 00:28:12,700
I mean, I don't want to have our police have to come because a gardener's cutting the lawn

388
00:28:12,700 --> 00:28:13,540
on a Sunday.

389
00:28:15,300 --> 00:28:20,280
I understand you're concerned, but I also don't think there is, I don't think there's a

390
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:21,580
widespread issue.

391
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:26,620
I think once in a while, yes, certainly the lawn companies come on a Sunday, but that's

392
00:28:26,620 --> 00:28:28,480
not normal, I don't think.

393
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:40,400
You know, so I personally don't like changing, eliminating it, I would like to keep the noise, what is it called?

394
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:47,060
The permissible time is for use of power driven machinery and equipment, including power moors, as it was.

395
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:47,980
Just eight.

396
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,940
Eight eight and then ten to eight on Sunday.

397
00:28:51,700 --> 00:28:51,960
Yes.

398
00:28:52,260 --> 00:28:52,520
Okay.

399
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,480
I do nine to eight on Saturdays.

400
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,220
until eight o'clock on Sunday?

401
00:28:58,740 --> 00:28:59,240
That's the way it's always-

402
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:00,760
That's the way it is.

403
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:01,640
It's not in the wash.

404
00:29:02,260 --> 00:29:05,500
I mean, I would be okay making it shorter on Saturdays and Sundays.

405
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:06,200
You know?

406
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,980
The 530 at five on Saturdays and Sundays, like no one company,

407
00:29:11,180 --> 00:29:13,640
no one's mowing their yard at 6pm on a Saturday, probably.

408
00:29:14,140 --> 00:29:15,260
No, you know, it's cooler.

409
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:16,020
That's true.

410
00:29:16,020 --> 00:29:16,380
That's true.

411
00:29:16,380 --> 00:29:16,440
That's true.

412
00:29:16,460 --> 00:29:16,520
That's true.

413
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:16,660
That's true.

414
00:29:16,660 --> 00:29:17,100
That's true.

415
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,760
That's true.

416
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:20,500
No, I think.

417
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:26,760
And like I said, this is us as a legislative body, passing a law that no one is asking for.

418
00:29:27,540 --> 00:29:27,640
Yeah.

419
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:28,660
The APM part.

420
00:29:28,780 --> 00:29:28,820
Right?

421
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,400
The ADM part people have been asked before.

422
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,780
But the APM part, no one's about anything.

423
00:29:33,780 --> 00:29:35,640
In the evening instruction, I think, isn't it?

424
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,580
But people mowing their wands.

425
00:29:37,780 --> 00:29:38,760
I just don't see it as an issue.

426
00:29:38,980 --> 00:29:40,640
So if someone wants to make the motion to amend.

427
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:41,100
Okay.

428
00:29:41,220 --> 00:29:44,600
I move to amend to, to on amend.

429
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:45,820
No, just a man.

430
00:29:46,300 --> 00:29:46,840
No, just a man.

431
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:47,840
Just a man.

432
00:29:48,220 --> 00:29:52,560
So you want, so you're just going to move to a men that it go back to eight on weekdays.

433
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,220
Do you want to delay the start?

434
00:29:54,700 --> 00:29:59,600
Yes, and I would move to a men's that it doesn't start till 9 a.m. on Saturdays and 10 a.m. on Sundays.

435
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,380
Eight, nine, eight, and ten, eight.

436
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,680
Yeah, that's just for a subsection B.

437
00:30:05,700 --> 00:30:08,660
Okay, power driven machinery and equipment and power moers.

438
00:30:09,380 --> 00:30:13,540
But that doesn't include some on Jackhammer ring up their time.

439
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,780
No, that's just for the power moers.

440
00:30:17,460 --> 00:30:18,740
Wait, how is that different?

441
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:19,560
Legally.

442
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,380
My question is, like, how is it, how is that decibel level?

443
00:30:22,500 --> 00:30:26,880
How is it Jackhammer in your house if you're doing your own, I don't know.

444
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,980
Well, if it's construction, it's construction, right?

445
00:30:30,180 --> 00:30:30,980
It's a resident.

446
00:30:31,460 --> 00:30:31,580
OK.

447
00:30:31,940 --> 00:30:34,100
It's just, this is a separate part of the,

448
00:30:34,940 --> 00:30:35,320
OK.

449
00:30:35,460 --> 00:30:36,200
It's a separate provision.

450
00:30:36,420 --> 00:30:37,360
There's, but they're different.

451
00:30:37,460 --> 00:30:37,880
That's fine.

452
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,140
I'm okay with no jack-ampers and yes, Moors,

453
00:30:40,260 --> 00:30:42,760
but I just wanted to understand the difference.

454
00:30:43,420 --> 00:30:43,700
OK.

455
00:30:44,060 --> 00:30:46,000
So what is, what is considered a power?

456
00:30:46,820 --> 00:30:47,240
Is it inherent?

457
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,740
It's the use of power-driven machinery tools or equipment.

458
00:30:50,020 --> 00:30:53,140
It's a subsection V that you're talking about.

459
00:30:54,140 --> 00:30:54,620
OK.

460
00:30:54,620 --> 00:30:58,980
It shall be unlawful for any person to cause or permit the use of any power driven machinery

461
00:30:58,980 --> 00:31:04,260
and tools or equipment, including power moors, in any person of the village zone or designated as residential.

462
00:31:05,380 --> 00:31:07,460
But what's the definition of power driven machinery?

463
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,820
I guess it's not defined.

464
00:31:10,100 --> 00:31:11,560
Okay, so then can we say?

465
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:18,480
But if it was construction, I think it would fall under, because the A talks about construction

466
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,560
and exploiting hosting, grading, power driving,

467
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,880
nomadic hammering, which is essentially

468
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,100
Jack hammering, demolishing, judging.

469
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,560
Okay, so you don't think it's necessary to just specify

470
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,080
and say, power of law and service equipment,

471
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,220
because that's what we care about.

472
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,020
Honestly, that's what we're trying to a lot of people to do,

473
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,540
is to use the power, use their law and equipment.

474
00:31:39,580 --> 00:31:40,520
Leafflowers and breads.

475
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,060
It's just, it might be, that's how it's always been

476
00:31:44,060 --> 00:31:44,880
enforced and interpreted.

477
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:46,860
I don't know, it might be difficult to.

478
00:31:46,860 --> 00:31:50,920
Do we have a code enforcement comment?

479
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:52,680
Yeah, they're here on the weekends.

480
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,080
Like I said, you know, it's very, it's rare, very rare to have,

481
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,580
to have that happening on.

482
00:31:58,580 --> 00:32:01,020
And it is defined, I think, in the, in the,

483
00:32:01,060 --> 00:32:02,860
it's construction activity versus.

484
00:32:03,540 --> 00:32:04,320
Okay, that's all.

485
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:04,620
That's all.

486
00:32:04,620 --> 00:32:06,900
It's a, it's a, you don't need to clarify.

487
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:09,780
So you've made the motion.

488
00:32:09,860 --> 00:32:10,840
Because the motion to amend.

489
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:11,920
Do I have a second?

490
00:32:13,780 --> 00:32:14,680
Also I know.

491
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:15,320
Okay.

492
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,140
And so Mr. Rubin, do we need to vote on that?

493
00:32:18,140 --> 00:32:20,060
Yeah, need to vote on the motion to amend first.

494
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,260
So the motion now is going to be...

495
00:32:23,260 --> 00:32:24,600
For the...

496
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,180
9-8-10-8.

497
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,740
8-8 Monday through Friday, 9-8 Saturday, 10-8 Sunday.

498
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,320
So for all of this, is it more restrictive or less restrictive though,

499
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,120
we have current, it's also either the same or more restrictive?

500
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:41,380
It just, all it is, all it's doing is moving back Saturday from 8-9, the start time.

501
00:32:41,420 --> 00:32:41,660
Okay.

502
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:43,860
That's all you're, that's all we have now.

503
00:32:44,100 --> 00:32:44,780
That's all you're changing.

504
00:32:50,020 --> 00:32:50,460
Okay,

505
00:32:54,640 --> 00:33:00,920
so let's vote on the motion, all those in favor, aye, any opposed, passes five zero, and now back to the

506
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:01,360
back to the main.

507
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:02,480
Back to the main motion.

508
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,180
All those in favor, aye, any opposed, passes five zero.

509
00:33:06,540 --> 00:33:07,380
Okay, thank you.

510
00:33:08,460 --> 00:33:11,900
All right, moving on to item seven, public hearing and second reading of twenty twenty five

511
00:33:11,900 --> 00:33:13,540
O4, Mr. Attorney, please read.

512
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,460
Yes, Mayor Nornance, the Village Council of Illinois,

513
00:33:15,460 --> 00:33:16,340
John Orpon Beach, Florida,

514
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,700
Mending Division IV, Pension and certain other benefits

515
00:33:18,700 --> 00:33:21,260
for fire and police employees of Article V,

516
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,080
Pensions and Retirement Systems,

517
00:33:23,700 --> 00:33:25,900
of Chapter II Administration of the Village Code of Hornets

518
00:33:25,900 --> 00:33:28,460
is to implement changes to retirement benefits

519
00:33:28,460 --> 00:33:29,980
resulting from collective bargaining

520
00:33:29,980 --> 00:33:32,800
with the union representing the village's firefighter employees.

521
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:34,240
Providing for amendments

522
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,300
affecting the calculation of firefighter employees,

523
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,340
retirement benefits when they become eligible for same,

524
00:33:39,740 --> 00:33:41,360
increasing employee contribution rates,

525
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:45,880
clarifying the entry window for participation in the deferred retirement option plan, applying

526
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:51,320
lease of insurance premium tax revenue to the village annual retirement contribution, providing

527
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:55,720
for codification, providing for severability, providing for conflicts and providing for

528
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:56,440
an effective date.

529
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:02,760
I need a motion and a second to adopt an act on second reading, so move, second, move by

530
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,240
in a syndrome, seconded by Dr. Seercy's staff presentation.

531
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:15,520
This is, it's the same as presented on first reading, essentially we are, we bargain for certain changes to the retirement benefits for firefighter employees.

532
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,240
So the next step after we do that is to change the code to reflect those changes.

533
00:34:20,460 --> 00:34:22,380
There was a change to the normal retirement age.

534
00:34:22,900 --> 00:34:30,020
There was a change to the benefit of cruel rate, a payment of a new firefighter health insurance supplement.

535
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:37,020
Then in order to offset the increase, the employee contribution will increase after March 31st.

536
00:34:38,220 --> 00:34:42,300
And then because of the retirement age change, we had to change some of the wording and the drop provision.

537
00:34:43,140 --> 00:34:45,460
But again, these are all things that we've already bargained for.

538
00:34:46,660 --> 00:34:47,060
Okay.

539
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,280
I'm going to open public hearing and public comment.

540
00:34:50,340 --> 00:34:51,640
I have no cards on this issue.

541
00:34:51,780 --> 00:34:53,060
Is there anyone who wishes to speak?

542
00:34:53,820 --> 00:34:53,960
All right.

543
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,920
I will close public comment and close public clearing council discussion.

544
00:34:56,980 --> 00:34:58,280
Any discussion on this?

545
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,640
I think we have to do it, so.

546
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:02,340
Okay, all those in favor?

547
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:02,900
Aye.

548
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:04,760
Any opposed passes five, zero.

549
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:06,600
All right, item eight.

550
00:35:06,740 --> 00:35:11,020
Public hearing and second reading of ordinance 2025-05, Mr. Turner, please read.

551
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,100
Yes, Mayor Norton is the Village Council of Village, North Palm Beach, Florida, many

552
00:35:14,100 --> 00:35:17,520
need to adopt a general fund budget to provide funding for the purchase of real property for

553
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:22,140
new public works, Department of Facility, transferring $1,165,000 from the unassigned

554
00:35:22,140 --> 00:35:26,540
fund balance to the capital projects, fund public works, land, acquisition, and capital

555
00:35:26,540 --> 00:35:27,180
account.

556
00:35:27,180 --> 00:35:28,900
providing for conflicts, providing for

557
00:35:28,900 --> 00:35:31,140
severability and providing for an effective date.

558
00:35:31,340 --> 00:35:33,240
I need a motion and second to adopt in an act on

559
00:35:33,240 --> 00:35:33,780
second reading.

560
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,860
So, moved, second, moved by Mrs. Garrison,

561
00:35:37,140 --> 00:35:37,720
second amendment syndrome,

562
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:38,540
ladies, and presentation.

563
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:40,300
Again, same as first reading,

564
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,760
this is the funding piece for the contract

565
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,180
to purchase that property west of the railroad

566
00:35:45,180 --> 00:35:47,300
tracks, adjacent to Old Dixie Highway.

567
00:35:47,720 --> 00:35:50,280
That's now occupied by a precision landscape

568
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,020
for potentially a new public work facility.

569
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:55,460
It's just second reading.

570
00:35:55,460 --> 00:36:00,260
it's I think it was explained last time it's coming from the the fund balance.

571
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:07,000
I'm going to open public hearing and open public comment. I have no cards. So close public

572
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,420
comment and close public hearing. Council discussion. Any council discussion?

573
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:12,320
Mr. Graham?

574
00:36:12,820 --> 00:36:18,700
Well I talked about this last time and the clarification of fund balance and I was

575
00:36:18,700 --> 00:36:25,320
explained that it wasn't capital fund balance, so the word fund balance is used for more

576
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:34,020
than one thing. So can I get a semia, explain to me what the fund, which fund, so this

577
00:36:34,020 --> 00:36:42,380
is fund balances of the municipal balance. This is what's left over after we collect the

578
00:36:42,380 --> 00:36:46,980
have the alarm taxes and then we operate this is what's left over

579
00:36:46,980 --> 00:36:52,900
yes so another term for fund balances reserve so this is so every year there's a fund balance

580
00:36:52,900 --> 00:37:00,300
yes so what was the fund balance in 2024 it's a rolling balance so at the end of 2020

581
00:37:00,300 --> 00:37:06,240
now I just want to know what we collected what we spent what was the fund balance because it added to the

582
00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:17,540
the aggregate. In 2024 we added it 3.76. In 2024 we added 3.76 million of that is

583
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:24,180
portion of it is the insurance. What about the prior year of 2023? I would have to go back and

584
00:37:24,180 --> 00:37:24,660
I'll get home.

585
00:37:30,210 --> 00:37:34,550
It should, yes. And

586
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:53,840
the flame need to talk about it during budget season, because if we're going to annex any property around here, to raise up our, we need to work on this a lot, because we're never going to run out of money.

587
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:55,480
Well, that's for sure.

588
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:56,300
We'll see what happens with that.

589
00:37:56,300 --> 00:38:00,580
Well, we have a viable source of income, and that's followed up with the public.

590
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:05,940
But if we don't lower our military, we're never going to get portage landing or hidden key.

591
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:08,660
So it's amazing.

592
00:38:08,660 --> 00:38:09,220
It's amazing.

593
00:38:09,780 --> 00:38:10,860
We raised the military.

594
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,280
And we had three and a half million dollars that we served for.

595
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,280
But I didn't figure that one out.

596
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,040
In fairness, Palm Beach Gardens has lower taxes than us in portage landing.

597
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:26,000
didn't want them either. I don't think they want to belong to anyone. They are very happy

598
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,680
the way they are. I understand Mr. Boyaz concerns and I definitely think that's a discussion

599
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:31,700
for what we have budget.

600
00:38:32,620 --> 00:38:33,820
American, I had one thing.

601
00:38:34,500 --> 00:38:45,240
So I just wanted to clarify that the fund balance cannot be used for the operating. It cannot

602
00:38:45,240 --> 00:38:51,020
be used for that. It is meant for capital. But I also want to reiterate that that

603
00:38:51,020 --> 00:38:55,340
the amount of reserve that we've had over the years,

604
00:38:55,580 --> 00:38:57,620
there was a period of probably 12 years

605
00:38:57,620 --> 00:38:59,400
that we did zero capital.

606
00:38:59,940 --> 00:39:01,740
We didn't roads, no sidewalks,

607
00:39:01,900 --> 00:39:03,480
there was a lot of things we didn't do,

608
00:39:03,580 --> 00:39:04,820
which raises that capital,

609
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:06,420
or raises that fund balance.

610
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,840
And as a result of that now, as you see public works

611
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,260
and we're doing a lot of capital projects right now,

612
00:39:13,420 --> 00:39:16,360
which you can use that fund balance for.

613
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:16,940
Yeah.

614
00:39:16,940 --> 00:39:17,800
That's the piece.

615
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,060
Well, I think that that's a good education piece

616
00:39:20,060 --> 00:39:22,240
for everybody when we get to that sort of thing.

617
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,220
And you know, what is because you need savings, right?

618
00:39:25,380 --> 00:39:29,420
I mean, that's part of solid, I mean, I have savings.

619
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,080
I assume everybody in the room has savings.

620
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:32,520
That's what you need to have.

621
00:39:32,780 --> 00:39:34,120
But in any rate, we'll have that discussion.

622
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:35,640
Miss Central and anything on this particular?

623
00:39:36,180 --> 00:39:38,120
No, I can say, but for all we talk about the budget,

624
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,180
I was just going to kind of inquire us

625
00:39:40,180 --> 00:39:43,300
to what is the standard amount of savings

626
00:39:43,300 --> 00:39:45,700
of village in our situation should have.

627
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,720
And are we close to it?

628
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,040
And I mean, well, this is

629
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:51,420
I want to kind of get more of a...

630
00:39:51,420 --> 00:39:54,360
This is when I really, really miss Mr. McGill.

631
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,740
He was so good, I'm sorry.

632
00:39:56,900 --> 00:39:57,940
I'm like staring at his foot.

633
00:39:58,220 --> 00:40:00,860
I mean, he had such a good...

634
00:40:00,860 --> 00:40:02,500
When he would come and talk to us about this,

635
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,640
I always felt really good about where we were financially,

636
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,260
because he was so careful and protective,

637
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,940
but I agree that those are discussions that we need to have.

638
00:40:09,060 --> 00:40:10,800
And we can have one, I know, I put this in the home.

639
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,820
Yeah, so, but I think I feel pretty comfortable about where we are.

640
00:40:14,260 --> 00:40:17,860
But he was always very adamant and sure of what we needed to be saving,

641
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,400
and it was good.

642
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,000
I have nothing to add.

643
00:40:23,060 --> 00:40:28,360
The only thing I will say is I am actually thrilled that we are doing this and I am just going to

644
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:32,400
talk it out into the University right now so that it is on everybody's mind.

645
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:38,640
Once this has gone through and we have a blank piece of property, it is a very rare thing for us in the village.

646
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:49,380
I think it is an opportunity for us to do something really special and unique and groundbreaking and I would really like us to be looking at

647
00:40:50,780 --> 00:40:55,820
ways to make it self-sustaining and environmentally friendly and taking advantage of the latest

648
00:40:55,820 --> 00:40:59,880
technology. We haven't had the opportunity to do something like that in the village,

649
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:06,260
and I think we could really do something quite special and unique in that regard. So I will

650
00:41:06,260 --> 00:41:08,940
be pushing for that as we continue on with this.

651
00:41:09,060 --> 00:41:13,340
Yeah, I'm really excited to have the opportunity that it gives us. I just, you know, there

652
00:41:13,340 --> 00:41:18,860
some residents here from the street that came last month and I, or a last two weeks ago.

653
00:41:19,500 --> 00:41:25,200
And so I just, you know, I wonder whether, I mean, is the village with the village ever

654
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,680
considered acquiring any additional property in that area?

655
00:41:27,820 --> 00:41:30,520
I mean, because it seemed like some of those people were concerned about the potential impacts

656
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:35,020
of having a public work facility on their street, and you know, I know that there would

657
00:41:35,020 --> 00:41:40,740
be have to be some relocations or a realignment of roads and whatnot to make that facility

658
00:41:40,740 --> 00:41:42,260
work exactly as we'd like.

659
00:41:42,260 --> 00:41:47,160
So I'm just curious whether we would ever admit this obviously is not the time we're just talking about that

660
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:48,000
But I was just

661
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:55,740
I didn't know whether that was something we'd ever even considered. Well, I think it's part of I was going to add as part of our strategic plan discussion

662
00:41:55,740 --> 00:41:58,140
Which we're going to have now we can have an hour

663
00:41:58,140 --> 00:42:05,900
I'm excited about the opportunity to buy land when presented to us because I think that we should take those opportunities and we could

664
00:42:05,900 --> 00:42:09,540
So the land it doesn't mean we're going to keep it forever. There are things we could do with it

665
00:42:09,540 --> 00:42:14,340
But I do think when presented with this opportunity and we had a bunch of leans on this property,

666
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:20,300
we are getting this for a good deal because they were in debt to us because they were not

667
00:42:20,300 --> 00:42:21,560
maintaining their property well.

668
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:26,000
I'm pretty sure the residents there were not happy with how precision was as a neighbor.

669
00:42:26,380 --> 00:42:27,700
We will be a much better neighbor.

670
00:42:27,700 --> 00:42:29,120
Have you thrown back there, Mr. Traveller?

671
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:29,500
I have.

672
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:29,780
I have.

673
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:31,900
And checked it out.

674
00:42:31,940 --> 00:42:32,240
Okay.

675
00:42:32,500 --> 00:42:36,320
I thought I could provide some really unique opportunities for us.

676
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:40,200
You know, I guess what I was thinking too was, you know, when you go in, and again, we can

677
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:44,460
have this discussion later, but most of the houses are set back from that road that would

678
00:42:44,460 --> 00:42:45,180
be the entranceway.

679
00:42:45,460 --> 00:42:49,720
So I don't actually see it impacting residents, and I'm not what I said to the gentleman

680
00:42:49,720 --> 00:42:53,780
who spoke, we intend to be good neighbors or others who think that we're good neighbors, and

681
00:42:53,780 --> 00:42:54,700
that's what we're going to do.

682
00:42:54,980 --> 00:42:59,100
If I'm not mistaken, public works for Palm Beach Gardens is right on Burns Road.

683
00:42:59,300 --> 00:42:59,920
It is.

684
00:43:00,140 --> 00:43:00,660
It is.

685
00:43:00,660 --> 00:43:06,300
So, I mean, you can definitely build it, so it looks very, you know, come

686
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:16,760
I think it's important for the general public to understand that this is just for the land purchase only, not the building of the public works facility.

687
00:43:17,260 --> 00:43:25,480
Because I think there was some miscommunication, maybe on my part, but I just wanted to make it clear that this is just the land purchase.

688
00:43:26,020 --> 00:43:31,540
And there is opportunity for we are working with an adjacent property owner that is intending to sell.

689
00:43:31,540 --> 00:43:38,400
So we are currently doing a, I'm sorry, Lynn, what's the, what's the, what's the,

690
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:38,740
a praise.

691
00:43:39,140 --> 00:43:40,640
Oh, yes, those are probably.

692
00:43:40,940 --> 00:43:44,260
I didn't know if you were going to talk about that, but yes, there's a smaller

693
00:43:44,260 --> 00:43:45,800
parcel that we might see.

694
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:47,880
We're looking into and why.

695
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:49,680
Interesting.

696
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:50,980
Anything, let's go.

697
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:51,460
Let's discuss.

698
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:52,060
Okay.

699
00:43:52,620 --> 00:43:52,840
All right.

700
00:43:52,900 --> 00:43:54,640
So I think we're done with our discussion.

701
00:43:55,100 --> 00:43:55,980
Let's move to a vote.

702
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:56,860
All those in favor?

703
00:43:57,300 --> 00:43:57,400
Aye.

704
00:43:57,700 --> 00:43:57,740
Aye.

705
00:43:57,740 --> 00:43:59,160
Any opposed passes 50.

706
00:43:59,960 --> 00:44:00,940
Moving on to other bill.

707
00:44:00,940 --> 00:44:06,040
the Village Business Matters, a resolution declaring various country club equipment as surplus

708
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:07,420
Mr. Attorney, please read.

709
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,600
Yes, Mayor Resolution, the Village Council of Village and North Palm Beach Florida, declaring

710
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:14,880
equipment from food and beverage operations as surplus property and authorizing its disposal

711
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,820
and providing for an effective date.

712
00:44:16,940 --> 00:44:18,660
I need a motion in a second to a doubt.

713
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:19,400
So, Luke.

714
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,040
Liu, by Mr. Central Randy, seconded by Mr. Puyo, staff presentation.

715
00:44:25,700 --> 00:44:26,440
Thank you, Mr. Davis.

716
00:44:27,820 --> 00:44:30,640
That's the EVIS GM North probably charge a glove.

717
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:37,280
Since the transition from farmer's table to the Lessons Hospitality Group, they've decided

718
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:43,020
that they did not want any of the wooden furniture, which is the chairs, barstools.

719
00:44:43,500 --> 00:44:50,280
We've got a dance floor, a dolly, and some stage, a six panel stage with chairs.

720
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:54,100
So they've basically had a broad and all-new equipment for their brand.

721
00:44:54,100 --> 00:44:58,060
So we have this excess furniture which right now I have in a pot and the...

722
00:45:01,300 --> 00:45:09,360
So we're putting out there with gov deals and we move it from our fixed asset roster.

723
00:45:10,340 --> 00:45:14,880
Thank you. I have no public comments on this card. Does anyone wish to come in?

724
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,220
I'll close public comment and move on to council discussion.

725
00:45:21,140 --> 00:45:23,300
Can residents buy it?

726
00:45:23,500 --> 00:45:26,960
I have a friend who was one of the barstels from the old Country Club years ago.

727
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,160
and it's like very proud of her bar stool from the health

728
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:30,760
and the club of your own years ago.

729
00:45:32,980 --> 00:45:34,740
So can they buy it through Guantiel?

730
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:36,580
They can buy it through Guantiel.

731
00:45:36,980 --> 00:45:38,280
They just have to go on and deal.

732
00:45:38,720 --> 00:45:40,420
So maybe can we publicize that?

733
00:45:40,420 --> 00:45:41,320
Mr. Cunningham?

734
00:45:42,100 --> 00:45:43,880
Yes, we'll sell it to the proper channels.

735
00:45:44,020 --> 00:45:47,800
But if residents want to buy any of it, then maybe

736
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,180
how much does Mr. Cunningham know when it's getting ready to go live?

737
00:45:50,700 --> 00:45:54,800
I want to work with Public Works to help me get it into the Guantiel's.com.

738
00:45:54,820 --> 00:45:55,600
There we go. Perfect.

739
00:45:55,620 --> 00:45:56,060
Thank you.

740
00:45:56,700 --> 00:45:57,480
Thank you.

741
00:45:57,660 --> 00:45:59,960
They're actually fun things I'm going to deal with if you ever did.

742
00:45:59,960 --> 00:46:00,460
There are.

743
00:46:00,980 --> 00:46:02,100
They're talking or anything.

744
00:46:02,340 --> 00:46:03,360
If you want to fire traffic.

745
00:46:03,900 --> 00:46:04,860
Mr. Poeo, any comments?

746
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:05,980
Okay.

747
00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:07,360
Let's move to council vote.

748
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:08,200
All those in favor?

749
00:46:08,580 --> 00:46:08,760
Aye.

750
00:46:09,100 --> 00:46:09,180
Aye.

751
00:46:09,180 --> 00:46:09,700
Any opposed?

752
00:46:09,720 --> 00:46:10,940
Pass this five zero.

753
00:46:11,860 --> 00:46:14,300
Resolution Public Records exemption from municipal clerks.

754
00:46:14,580 --> 00:46:15,300
Mr. Turnip, please read.

755
00:46:15,620 --> 00:46:17,800
It's Mayor Resolution of the Village Council of Village and North Palm Beach.

756
00:46:17,820 --> 00:46:21,660
Florida urging the Florida State Legislature to enact legislation to provide a public

757
00:46:21,660 --> 00:46:25,920
records exemption for municipal clerks and employees to perform municipal

758
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:30,580
elections work or have any part in code enforcement functions of a municipality and providing

759
00:46:30,580 --> 00:46:31,540
for an effective date.

760
00:46:32,420 --> 00:46:34,160
Any emotion I seconded adopt?

761
00:46:34,540 --> 00:46:35,040
So moved.

762
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:35,720
Seconded.

763
00:46:35,720 --> 00:46:36,580
Those premises, garrison.

764
00:46:36,700 --> 00:46:38,300
Seconded by Mr. Puy of Staff presentation.

765
00:46:40,100 --> 00:46:41,360
Good evening, Mayor and Council.

766
00:46:41,720 --> 00:46:44,060
We're bringing this resolution to you for consideration.

767
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:51,000
The Florida Association of City clerks has requested that municipalities throughout Florida

768
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:55,780
adopt a resolution urging the Florida State Legislature to add

769
00:46:55,780 --> 00:47:00,220
the personal information and municipal clerks to the public records

770
00:47:00,220 --> 00:47:01,100
exemption.

771
00:47:02,460 --> 00:47:08,400
Municipal clerks are responsible for election work and, as you know, sometimes

772
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:12,520
elections can be contentious and there have been threats against municipal

773
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,260
clerks and also those who work in code enforcement.

774
00:47:16,540 --> 00:47:20,920
So right now there's 27 public records exemptions and municipal

775
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:25,760
clerks are not part of that, so we are asking that you would

776
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:29,820
to see legislature to add municipal clerks to that list.

777
00:47:30,620 --> 00:47:30,880
Thank you.

778
00:47:31,720 --> 00:47:32,620
Moving on to public comment.

779
00:47:32,660 --> 00:47:34,060
I have no cards on this.

780
00:47:34,180 --> 00:47:35,160
Does anyone wish to comment?

781
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:36,960
Miss Cross?

782
00:47:41,130 --> 00:47:41,790
Deborah Cross?

783
00:47:42,270 --> 00:47:43,610
25, 60 people in circles.

784
00:47:44,230 --> 00:47:46,670
I think we need to protect our staff.

785
00:47:47,570 --> 00:47:51,970
I think we are trying to keep them safe.

786
00:47:52,330 --> 00:47:53,110
And we want them safe.

787
00:47:53,810 --> 00:47:55,190
And so I think this is a really good measure.

788
00:47:55,450 --> 00:47:55,650
Thank you.

789
00:47:55,950 --> 00:47:56,210
Thank you.

790
00:47:57,170 --> 00:47:57,390
All right.

791
00:47:57,390 --> 00:48:00,390
Now, other comments or close any council discussion on this?

792
00:48:01,130 --> 00:48:01,310
I don't know.

793
00:48:01,410 --> 00:48:01,970
Seems like a good idea.

794
00:48:01,970 --> 00:48:03,730
I don't have, I mean, I'd just clarification.

795
00:48:04,470 --> 00:48:06,530
So they ask you for your address or your telephone.

796
00:48:07,530 --> 00:48:08,050
Right.

797
00:48:08,550 --> 00:48:15,210
If there's a public architecture quest, then they request my address or phone number or personal contact information.

798
00:48:15,430 --> 00:48:16,070
It would be exempt.

799
00:48:16,550 --> 00:48:20,290
They would not be allowed to give that information out.

800
00:48:20,730 --> 00:48:21,870
Also, like on the property.

801
00:48:21,910 --> 00:48:22,250
Right.

802
00:48:22,250 --> 00:48:23,850
That's really like on the property.

803
00:48:23,850 --> 00:48:29,590
raise their website or place it like that. The tax collector. The information would not be published

804
00:48:29,590 --> 00:48:36,030
or a public information. The address, the home address of municipal clerk would not be a public

805
00:48:36,030 --> 00:48:41,690
record. Wow, that's terrible. Wait, which part of it? Well, I mean, that she has a publisher

806
00:48:41,690 --> 00:48:47,250
address. Well, you don't have to publish your home address. That's not a public record. But if

807
00:48:47,250 --> 00:48:51,610
you're, you, us as the village, you don't have to give someone your public, you're, you don't

808
00:48:51,610 --> 00:48:57,690
to give someone your home address, however, other government entities whose job it is to publish

809
00:48:57,690 --> 00:49:02,850
people's addresses are currently allowed to do that and are prohibited from not giving

810
00:49:02,850 --> 00:49:05,950
that information, like the tax collector and property appraisers.

811
00:49:06,170 --> 00:49:09,550
Not the village of North Palm Beach does not have to give anyone our clerk's address.

812
00:49:09,730 --> 00:49:10,390
Oh, my gosh.

813
00:49:10,790 --> 00:49:11,130
Wow.

814
00:49:11,190 --> 00:49:12,190
We do.

815
00:49:12,490 --> 00:49:12,890
We do.

816
00:49:13,070 --> 00:49:15,510
If we have a record of it, yes, we do.

817
00:49:15,630 --> 00:49:15,750
Okay.

818
00:49:15,970 --> 00:49:16,310
Absolutely.

819
00:49:16,790 --> 00:49:18,050
Take care of it.

820
00:49:18,330 --> 00:49:18,850
Oh, yes.

821
00:49:19,010 --> 00:49:19,750
All your addresses.

822
00:49:19,750 --> 00:49:23,330
for anyone for anyone well not for public

823
00:49:23,330 --> 00:49:25,370
if if if if if if if if if if there's a public records a

824
00:49:25,370 --> 00:49:29,190
quest for you if it can address we can give it out

825
00:49:29,190 --> 00:49:33,470
uh... yes it's just uh... fire fighters or exam code office or

826
00:49:33,470 --> 00:49:35,990
exam law enforcement officers or exam

827
00:49:37,090 --> 00:49:39,070
building inspectors are exempt

828
00:49:39,070 --> 00:49:43,090
uh... there's a bunch of exemptions but this it's just to extend it to

829
00:49:43,090 --> 00:49:46,090
clerk's office and clerk's staff

830
00:49:46,090 --> 00:49:46,610
Perfect.

831
00:49:47,830 --> 00:49:51,850
Now, clearly, we need to detect our clerk's scene as we know the elections can be contentious.

832
00:49:52,050 --> 00:49:53,550
Or are there any other comments on this?

833
00:49:54,350 --> 00:49:54,550
Okay.

834
00:49:54,670 --> 00:49:54,970
Let's vote.

835
00:49:55,250 --> 00:49:55,810
All those in favor?

836
00:49:56,050 --> 00:49:56,770
I got it.

837
00:49:56,770 --> 00:49:57,310
Any opposed?

838
00:49:57,470 --> 00:49:58,310
Passes five?

839
00:49:58,710 --> 00:49:58,970
Zero.

840
00:50:00,430 --> 00:50:00,950
Mr. Ruben.

841
00:50:01,250 --> 00:50:02,470
I'm just going to piggyback on this.

842
00:50:02,890 --> 00:50:05,750
Can we do something to protect all of our village employees?

843
00:50:05,750 --> 00:50:06,850
Or is that not?

844
00:50:07,070 --> 00:50:07,510
No.

845
00:50:07,570 --> 00:50:08,650
It's state law.

846
00:50:09,510 --> 00:50:09,970
Yes, ma'am.

847
00:50:10,130 --> 00:50:10,410
Sorry.

848
00:50:10,670 --> 00:50:10,810
I tried.

849
00:50:12,150 --> 00:50:12,970
All right.

850
00:50:13,430 --> 00:50:13,770
Excuse me.

851
00:50:13,770 --> 00:50:19,310
Moving on to council and administration matters, mayor and council reports, I don't think I have anything this week, Ms.

852
00:50:19,310 --> 00:50:20,490
Garrison, do you?

853
00:50:20,650 --> 00:50:31,770
Oh, just a number of us went to the conservatory school this morning to celebrate a classroom meal that involved some technological improvements that they made.

854
00:50:32,370 --> 00:50:39,050
And also upcoming in a month or two is a tenure anniversary of the rebuild of the conservatory school.

855
00:50:39,050 --> 00:50:45,550
So I hope we'll all be able to have a reunion there and meet up again to celebrate the 10-year anniversary.

856
00:50:45,770 --> 00:50:46,890
That's the stop talking about.

857
00:50:47,230 --> 00:50:49,370
Oh, that was left.

858
00:50:49,830 --> 00:50:51,050
That was not you.

859
00:50:51,930 --> 00:50:52,990
You know, I'm sure it was worth it.

860
00:50:52,990 --> 00:50:55,010
Anyway, if you're ever depressed,

861
00:50:56,310 --> 00:51:00,450
stop by the conservatory school and you will not walk away depressed.

862
00:51:00,770 --> 00:51:01,970
Those kids are amazing.

863
00:51:02,230 --> 00:51:03,170
The staff is amazing.

864
00:51:03,870 --> 00:51:05,250
We should be so proud.

865
00:51:05,250 --> 00:51:09,250
As a school district and as a village to have that school in our community.

866
00:51:09,430 --> 00:51:09,910
Absolutely.

867
00:51:10,570 --> 00:51:12,550
Doctor Sir Sir Sir, do you have anything to add?

868
00:51:13,150 --> 00:51:13,810
Is this interlainting?

869
00:51:13,850 --> 00:51:14,890
Nothing to add right now.

870
00:51:15,110 --> 00:51:15,430
Mr. Plue?

871
00:51:16,030 --> 00:51:19,250
Well, I'm still concerned about my government online.

872
00:51:20,290 --> 00:51:21,530
Which, what do you mean my government?

873
00:51:21,590 --> 00:51:21,990
About.

874
00:51:22,390 --> 00:51:26,970
So if you have a complaint, you go on my government online rather than calling code enforcement.

875
00:51:28,730 --> 00:51:31,730
The House on Corsair that we drive by all the time.

876
00:51:31,810 --> 00:51:33,190
Still, there's not any screening.

877
00:51:33,850 --> 00:51:41,110
Not like the one on Lighthouse in Anchorage, it was just knocked down, and the bathrooms are outside,

878
00:51:41,350 --> 00:51:44,810
so you can see the port of John and we went through that whole thing, but it's still there.

879
00:51:46,010 --> 00:51:50,690
So obviously there's either I don't know how to use my government online or it doesn't work.

880
00:51:51,170 --> 00:51:52,290
We have to call a code and port.

881
00:51:52,530 --> 00:51:53,570
Can you look into that?

882
00:51:54,090 --> 00:51:55,330
Yes, thank you.

883
00:51:56,350 --> 00:52:00,610
We also, like, they might have been told and just ignored us.

884
00:52:01,150 --> 00:52:02,270
People do that all the time.

885
00:52:02,270 --> 00:52:06,390
You know, I had to tell my husband that all the time because he gets so mad and I'm like, no,

886
00:52:06,450 --> 00:52:08,030
some people just thumb their neases.

887
00:52:08,270 --> 00:52:08,830
Right, it's really.

888
00:52:09,110 --> 00:52:12,850
Well, you know, it's just that the construction sometimes does take a long time.

889
00:52:13,130 --> 00:52:16,990
The houses go up real quickly and everybody thinks like there's a house on hold.

890
00:52:17,650 --> 00:52:21,010
16 on the country club where the walls went out real quickly.

891
00:52:21,010 --> 00:52:25,650
The roof is getting tired in today and everybody thinks, oh, it's almost done ago.

892
00:52:31,270 --> 00:52:43,550
We're going to the inside starts and it takes a long time. So that's the time when you really have to screen it from the community, because everybody is just sick and tired of seeing the dust in it.

893
00:52:43,790 --> 00:52:52,430
So we really need to work on that because like I said last meeting, this is an elderly community that is going to turn yourself.

894
00:52:52,430 --> 00:52:53,830
It's going to turn over.

895
00:52:54,410 --> 00:52:56,850
It's going to turn over in the next five to ten years.

896
00:52:57,050 --> 00:52:59,930
There's going to be a lot of houses that are going to be flipped over.

897
00:53:00,670 --> 00:53:01,890
And so it's going to be a lot of construction.

898
00:53:02,130 --> 00:53:02,870
Yeah, absolutely.

899
00:53:02,930 --> 00:53:06,690
And we heard from that pilot last week, where the poor guy comes home,

900
00:53:06,730 --> 00:53:09,390
and he can't even get a cup of coffee without listening to the banging.

901
00:53:10,170 --> 00:53:11,690
No, I've got two on my street right now.

902
00:53:11,810 --> 00:53:13,430
Speaking of which one of which is not screened.

903
00:53:14,270 --> 00:53:14,470
Okay.

904
00:53:14,630 --> 00:53:15,370
That's why I...

905
00:53:15,370 --> 00:53:15,810
Okay.

906
00:53:16,970 --> 00:53:18,810
I have no things, so we'll move on.

907
00:53:19,190 --> 00:53:21,350
Mr. Manager, I believe you have some things for us.

908
00:53:21,350 --> 00:53:26,930
I have a couple of things made up, but one, I'd like to, you know, on what Mr.

909
00:53:27,070 --> 00:53:33,330
Puyel was talking about is, is when we go out and we engage residents, businesses and

910
00:53:33,330 --> 00:53:39,070
everything, we have to give them reasonable time, reasonable time of what they can do to get

911
00:53:39,070 --> 00:53:39,710
something done.

912
00:53:40,070 --> 00:53:49,050
So, if a call comes in that we take, we go out and approach the resident or the business

913
00:53:49,050 --> 00:53:49,650
or whoever.

914
00:53:49,650 --> 00:53:53,810
We've got to give them reasonable time, if they say they can get it done in three weeks

915
00:53:53,810 --> 00:53:56,890
great, if they say they can get it done in three months, not going to work.

916
00:53:57,690 --> 00:54:04,410
So we do engage them, but we have to give reasonable time for those individuals to fix

917
00:54:04,410 --> 00:54:05,550
whatever they need to fix.

918
00:54:07,290 --> 00:54:10,610
So secondly, I have a couple of people that I'd like to introduce.

919
00:54:11,450 --> 00:54:16,590
I know at the last meeting, we had a resident get up and speak about the country club, and

920
00:54:16,590 --> 00:54:20,790
I have Liz Solin, the General Manager for Lesson Group.

921
00:54:21,570 --> 00:54:23,650
She wanted to come and just have a quick chat.

922
00:54:23,830 --> 00:54:26,490
What is just to give us an update of the Lesson Group and everything.

923
00:54:26,610 --> 00:54:32,030
And give you an opportunity to ask her any questions that you may have or anything that she can ask for the General Public.

924
00:54:32,270 --> 00:54:33,290
So, this list.

925
00:54:34,770 --> 00:54:35,470
Thank you.

926
00:54:36,030 --> 00:54:36,370
Hi.

927
00:54:36,590 --> 00:54:37,310
Thanks for coming.

928
00:54:37,570 --> 00:54:39,870
I have to tell you, it's six months this month.

929
00:54:40,110 --> 00:54:40,310
Wow.

930
00:54:40,550 --> 00:54:40,990
It's a week.

931
00:54:41,290 --> 00:54:41,990
I'm five.

932
00:54:42,830 --> 00:54:44,790
So I'm going to talk to you a couple of times at the

933
00:54:44,790 --> 00:54:47,970
world so it's a really good time for us to spend a little time together

934
00:54:47,970 --> 00:54:51,870
is come up and answer any questions and actually give you a good stay of the business.

935
00:54:52,190 --> 00:54:55,450
So I'm really glad that Russ came up and made a few comments just about me.

936
00:54:55,770 --> 00:54:57,270
So thank you for your time today.

937
00:54:57,610 --> 00:55:02,170
I know there were some general discussion in regards in the community and with me and with

938
00:55:02,170 --> 00:55:06,690
my manager Shaw and Navi about what's happening in the restaurant and I wanted to clarify

939
00:55:08,230 --> 00:55:13,230
So we're in the middle of season and let Abby to borrow a soul and the restaurant is also full.

940
00:55:13,770 --> 00:55:16,430
So we're very, very happy to see the support of the community.

941
00:55:17,350 --> 00:55:22,070
We have not changed the menu offerings in about two, three months.

942
00:55:22,550 --> 00:55:26,650
But I wanted to discuss what we currently offer, which is seven different menus.

943
00:55:27,410 --> 00:55:31,010
Six are offered all day long, no matter where you sit in the restaurant.

944
00:55:31,650 --> 00:55:36,310
So I'm going to make sure I get that out there and everybody understands that whether you're sitting,

945
00:55:36,310 --> 00:55:39,870
in the borrower or in the plug house, you can have whatever you want.

946
00:55:41,030 --> 00:55:49,990
So that consists of 12 handheld sandwiches, 10 appetizers, six different salads and 13 different

947
00:55:49,990 --> 00:55:50,750
entrants.

948
00:55:51,290 --> 00:55:57,310
Staff on top of that, a $25 pre-fix menu that we offer at lunch, which is, I think, the best

949
00:55:57,310 --> 00:56:04,530
value in the town, and happy hour, that we see all of you at, which is four hours daily from

950
00:56:04,530 --> 00:56:05,230
two to six.

951
00:56:05,230 --> 00:56:08,030
So we're hoping that you're enjoying what we currently offer.

952
00:56:08,930 --> 00:56:12,790
You ask for just a Scotchmore, and we wanted to provide that for you.

953
00:56:12,990 --> 00:56:16,150
But since we're in the middle of season, it's very hard to change a menu.

954
00:56:16,510 --> 00:56:17,930
Imagine keys on your keyboards.

955
00:56:18,350 --> 00:56:21,230
That's how our unions are in line or set up.

956
00:56:22,070 --> 00:56:25,430
So you can't flip out the seat, and move it to our A's,

957
00:56:25,710 --> 00:56:29,050
so the chefs on the line, they won't know they're mechanics much anymore.

958
00:56:29,810 --> 00:56:33,890
So it's important for us to provide stability for our back of the house employees

959
00:56:33,890 --> 00:56:38,670
but not making too many aggressive changes, especially this time of year.

960
00:56:40,170 --> 00:56:42,770
It's much easier to do as talking when you're at my table.

961
00:56:44,110 --> 00:56:45,570
It's here with you again, too.

962
00:56:46,590 --> 00:56:49,310
So that we do offer and have made a few different changes.

963
00:56:50,030 --> 00:56:52,870
You ask for some different suits, so we have a suit for the day.

964
00:56:53,410 --> 00:56:56,490
I'll tell you that Mr. Back has a long crew of mushrooms today.

965
00:56:56,610 --> 00:57:00,530
We have a big fan of our vegetables soup, so if you haven't had that yet, it's amazing.

966
00:57:01,130 --> 00:57:13,690
We have a future of the day, so we just had a craft-stuff shrimp with a lemon-butter sauce that everyone loved, and then we're really taking advantage of our local fishermen and what they offer, and we have a really pretty seat outside now.

967
00:57:14,210 --> 00:57:17,230
So make sure you're asking your service about what we have to offer.

968
00:57:20,550 --> 00:57:24,930
What's important to me today to discuss is what's happening within the hospitality industry.

969
00:57:24,930 --> 00:57:32,550
I don't think I have to say the word egg mentioned, you know, we have thoughts of volatility

970
00:57:32,550 --> 00:57:33,410
in our market.

971
00:57:33,970 --> 00:57:37,550
So obviously what's happening with eggs, coffees of them all times would be your high.

972
00:57:37,670 --> 00:57:40,490
I talked to my friends in the sugar day.

973
00:57:41,370 --> 00:57:48,450
Who is of a 5.5% hike on beef in the month of January and we're expecting about a 10 to 12%

974
00:57:49,030 --> 00:57:51,310
hike coming to us over the next few weeks?

975
00:57:51,310 --> 00:57:55,030
And that's just a few things for us to consider.

976
00:57:57,170 --> 00:58:02,010
So what most people in Shree call the bottom line,

977
00:58:02,250 --> 00:58:03,330
not call the center of the plate.

978
00:58:04,070 --> 00:58:06,570
So protecting the center of the plate, especially for our community,

979
00:58:06,710 --> 00:58:10,010
like yours that we have come to love, is really important to us.

980
00:58:10,230 --> 00:58:15,330
The center of the plate is price, quality, and presentation.

981
00:58:16,650 --> 00:58:17,170
So,

982
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:24,660
I want you to understand what, you know, where you are as a community and how you eat.

983
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:30,680
For brunch, your average spend, per person, is a lower than $18 per person.

984
00:58:31,140 --> 00:58:37,100
For lunch, even with that $25 view for this menu, you're under $22 and for dinner, you're under $33.

985
00:58:37,780 --> 00:58:45,580
So when we compare that to the market and our competitive set, we are 33% less than the average spend at a comparable restaurant.

986
00:58:46,260 --> 00:58:47,920
And when it comes to your beverages,

987
00:58:49,980 --> 00:58:53,560
our content is very wine or $2.6 cheaper than our local

988
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:54,040
competitors.

989
00:58:54,340 --> 00:58:56,420
I spend a lot of time with you this week.

990
00:58:58,180 --> 00:59:00,760
So we have to be strategic to protect that value.

991
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:04,260
Which comes to the decisions that we're making as a whole in business.

992
00:59:05,500 --> 00:59:09,240
You have a weapon that most restaurants don't have, which is really nice for me.

993
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:11,440
It makes my dog a lot easier, and that's a ballroom.

994
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:18,720
So, between the ballroom and the ability to hold large events, we are able to protect that

995
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:22,760
value that we get from the table, because into the large parties and the amount of money

996
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:27,200
that we're able to get from that client, helps us keep the value for the everyday guests

997
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:28,460
or your friends and neighbors.

998
00:59:29,540 --> 00:59:35,000
So, we are working to grow that side of the business, sometimes using your favorite grow

999
00:59:36,100 --> 00:59:41,300
to minimize those profits so that we can protect the centers of the future.

1000
00:59:44,900 --> 00:59:48,140
But this is also given us the opportunity to work with the local community.

1001
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:51,280
For instance, just this week, when I tell you where I've been,

1002
00:59:51,420 --> 00:59:52,680
when you haven't seen me in your restaurant.

1003
00:59:53,860 --> 00:59:57,400
One week, we held a really killer environment with the community

1004
00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:59,280
in the beginning of this past week.

1005
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:09,260
I would just ask if there was a Palm Beach's today, talking about our partnership and what we can do within the community to promote the North Palm Beach Country Club as a destination.

1006
01:00:10,780 --> 01:00:16,540
We went to Malphs Theatre for the opening night of the Lehman Brothers' Trinity, excuse me.

1007
01:00:17,940 --> 01:00:21,760
And we started complimentary cookies to six hundred and fifty people going to the show.

1008
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:26,160
And we've already seen a lot of people come back to try and arrest her from the first time.

1009
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:30,460
We visited F. Vietnam and Carrier into the same thing.

1010
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:35,320
I went to the Chilli Cook Off and saw you at B.C. and I'll be at your garage sale.

1011
01:00:36,500 --> 01:00:39,460
So we're working on a bunch of different things right now

1012
01:00:39,460 --> 01:00:42,640
to continue to provide value to the community

1013
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:44,460
and to be a part of your community.

1014
01:00:45,140 --> 01:00:47,920
Beth will tell you we're working on our first wine dinner.

1015
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:50,040
So if you're social member you go for free

1016
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:51,180
but it's with chemists.

1017
01:00:51,860 --> 01:00:53,560
So the chemists is agreed to come out

1018
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:56,080
and host our first five course, Windinner and March.

1019
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:58,380
We're talking about St. Paggy's Day.

1020
01:00:58,620 --> 01:01:00,740
We have a meeting at a week to talk about for the July.

1021
01:01:01,300 --> 01:01:03,100
So there's so much happening in the background

1022
01:01:03,740 --> 01:01:05,220
while I'm spending around the restaurant

1023
01:01:05,220 --> 01:01:07,620
and saying hi to you as you come every day.

1024
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:10,320
But we're so thankful to be the part that you can meet.

1025
01:01:10,580 --> 01:01:12,460
And just know that we are doing well

1026
01:01:12,460 --> 01:01:15,160
and being tempted to keep doing well

1027
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:16,820
and being your partner for years to come.

1028
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:18,160
Thank you.

1029
01:01:18,180 --> 01:01:18,640
Thank you.

1030
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:19,380
Thank you very much.

1031
01:01:20,420 --> 01:01:22,880
We appreciate it.

1032
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:24,820
I don't think that was wonderful.

1033
01:01:25,420 --> 01:01:25,800
Thank you.

1034
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:30,220
And I have to say I've met up with some executive women,

1035
01:01:30,580 --> 01:01:32,960
friends of mine, for a happy hour on Tuesday.

1036
01:01:33,900 --> 01:01:37,840
You have a killer, artichoke, and spinach dip.

1037
01:01:38,740 --> 01:01:40,060
And it was lovely.

1038
01:01:40,340 --> 01:01:44,360
We sat in the bar of the main restaurant and my friends.

1039
01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:47,060
Upon leaving, we were looking at the check.

1040
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:50,380
They couldn't believe how reasonable it was.

1041
01:01:50,660 --> 01:01:51,900
Compared to other places we go.

1042
01:01:51,900 --> 01:01:54,720
So we will definitely be back.

1043
01:01:54,900 --> 01:01:56,000
It's just, I don't know what this is about.

1044
01:01:56,180 --> 01:01:58,980
When I would say I know that there are things that are in the better hours of operation.

1045
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,920
There are hours of operation that are posted online.

1046
01:02:02,860 --> 01:02:04,560
We have not been able to meet them.

1047
01:02:04,900 --> 01:02:10,700
We have not been able to close our restaurant at the time of one or two because we're so busy.

1048
01:02:10,900 --> 01:02:12,640
We are so busy right now.

1049
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:14,500
And we are so thankful for it.

1050
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:19,040
But I know there was some talk about us closing early.

1051
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:24,680
You know, that's when I looked into it, we watched the cameras and we didn't close that early.

1052
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:29,560
In fact, we worked two hours past the date that was in question.

1053
01:02:31,540 --> 01:02:33,620
They're, they're, they're all sort of, restaurants are interesting.

1054
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:37,120
This one has a different mic of itself.

1055
01:02:37,580 --> 01:02:41,240
You, you all come at sunset, you know, that's, that's when we're busy.

1056
01:02:41,420 --> 01:02:43,700
You can write it up here in the New Station sunset.

1057
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:49,900
And since that is in the fourth six clock, and you know, nothing was going to start dinner.

1058
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:52,960
So where they're serving you until eight, nine, ten, yeah.

1059
01:02:53,140 --> 01:02:58,440
But as we go into the summer, if we find that little summer, we might combine it to restaurants,

1060
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:03,020
just to make sure that our staff is in parallel, and it makes good business decisions,

1061
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:04,240
protect us that are clean.

1062
01:03:04,660 --> 01:03:06,780
So just want to make sure I address that too, except for all.

1063
01:03:07,340 --> 01:03:07,780
Okay, thank you.

1064
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:11,680
So the comment and question that you've had closed at seven was not accurate.

1065
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:18,660
We were there to pass seven in the main restaurant, but they were still going on strong

1066
01:03:18,660 --> 01:03:19,280
next door.

1067
01:03:19,980 --> 01:03:25,340
And, you know, it wouldn't make business sense for us to close the bar, you know, I think

1068
01:03:25,340 --> 01:03:29,180
you know, it must, it's with a misunderstanding, I think employed in this understudio, but

1069
01:03:29,180 --> 01:03:30,260
we've corrected that.

1070
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:31,400
All right.

1071
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:31,940
Thank you.

1072
01:03:32,060 --> 01:03:33,680
Thank you for coming with all the facts and figures.

1073
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:40,100
I really found it interesting that we, we spend less than industry average.

1074
01:03:40,100 --> 01:03:44,820
It's not only that you spend less, it's just that we're able to close the lives and be able to keep it down.

1075
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:45,620
But keep it down.

1076
01:03:45,980 --> 01:03:48,100
The restaurants and homes are a whole lot right.

1077
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:49,220
Yeah, yeah.

1078
01:03:49,660 --> 01:03:50,040
They are.

1079
01:03:50,260 --> 01:03:55,880
And I employ you to look and see what's happening because the restaurants that aren't right now are doing it.

1080
01:03:55,980 --> 01:03:57,460
It's for tech relationships with you.

1081
01:03:58,540 --> 01:03:59,100
Thank you.

1082
01:03:59,960 --> 01:04:01,300
Can I ask a question, Liz?

1083
01:04:01,820 --> 01:04:06,240
So you said something about hand-held, because obviously I eat there three days a week.

1084
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:13,160
The handhelds are out of the snack shop, they're not in the grill room for lunch.

1085
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:16,780
The handhelds are thinking that we serve on the bread, so all the bread can burners, hot dogs.

1086
01:04:16,820 --> 01:04:23,800
But you talked about the tuna salad or chicken salad or some other salad in a wrap.

1087
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:26,500
Out of the snack shop, we have one, two, three.

1088
01:04:26,660 --> 01:04:32,280
We have four or four or five hand-helds coming out of the snack shop right now.

1089
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:33,800
but not in the grill room.

1090
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:39,640
The grill room has the turkey club, the chicken club, the hot dogs, the three different burgers.

1091
01:04:40,300 --> 01:04:40,720
That's all, huh?

1092
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:41,620
Those are all handouts.

1093
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:43,220
Okay, that's what you're talking about.

1094
01:04:43,540 --> 01:04:43,680
Yeah.

1095
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:46,040
Now, is this snack track back in action now?

1096
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:47,020
Is it?

1097
01:04:47,020 --> 01:04:47,680
Good question.

1098
01:04:48,420 --> 01:04:52,360
You know, I don't know if you know the story of the snack track, I'm not sure if that was ever

1099
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:53,140
shared.

1100
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:55,680
They're a little down for four months.

1101
01:04:56,340 --> 01:05:01,880
So there was, we inherited this problem now, so I just want to make sure everyone understands

1102
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:11,700
So this snapshot was never actually, I didn't expect or never went into this snapshot before we took over it.

1103
01:05:11,900 --> 01:05:15,280
So this snapshot never went under a food and beverage health inspection.

1104
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:23,300
So we invited our inspector, unbeknownst to us, when we walked through to take them into this snapshot,

1105
01:05:23,860 --> 01:05:28,520
and this snapshot was never registered as a property that did commercial business.

1106
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:36,520
So our only problem we were able to follow was to serve ready-made packaged food until it was

1107
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:37,060
rectified.

1108
01:05:37,780 --> 01:05:45,240
So, for months, as you know, months hadn't worked in with Tallahassee with our people to

1109
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:46,900
fix the problem and redraw the plan.

1110
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:53,420
We hope, you know, that should be saying this, but we hope to see the inspector on Wednesday

1111
01:05:53,420 --> 01:06:00,580
and have hot dogs and breakfast burritos and beetles for you on Thursday of next week

1112
01:06:01,060 --> 01:06:05,540
if all goes to plant. But we're ready. It's just something that we were unprepared for.

1113
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:07,120
We didn't know that was out the face.

1114
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:10,220
Well, I'll apologize for that. Thank you for reftifying it.

1115
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:14,060
That's one of the most honest times that I understand when a pig deal matters.

1116
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:16,440
That's a big deal.

1117
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:20,320
It's a hard easy shop, but if that's the biggest surprise,

1118
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:22,300
from taking over the beautiful property.

1119
01:06:22,860 --> 01:06:23,880
I think we handled it now.

1120
01:06:24,060 --> 01:06:24,400
Yeah.

1121
01:06:25,380 --> 01:06:26,320
I appreciate that.

1122
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:27,960
Thank you.

1123
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,020
Thank you very very much.

1124
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:31,200
Thank you.

1125
01:06:31,220 --> 01:06:31,520
Thank you.

1126
01:06:31,860 --> 01:06:32,340
Thank you.

1127
01:06:32,820 --> 01:06:33,020
All right.

1128
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:38,600
Mayors, so the second piece of this, I wanted to introduce to our community

1129
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:44,300
communications specialist, Olivia Gualala.

1130
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:46,400
Thank you.

1131
01:06:46,500 --> 01:06:47,940
I was trying to say that quick, free time.

1132
01:06:47,940 --> 01:06:49,660
Can you vote our name for us, please?

1133
01:06:52,160 --> 01:07:01,880
So Olivia has, as you know, we talked about having a community engagement software that we talked about in the last couple years.

1134
01:07:02,460 --> 01:07:08,420
We actually got that last year and Olivia has been able to take it and get it implemented.

1135
01:07:08,860 --> 01:07:16,080
It is live on our website. We haven't pushed it out to the community yet as we wanted to showcase this with Council.

1136
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:23,320
And the community just before before we do that so she's just going to take you through on how to how to navigate through it

1137
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:26,480
It's very quick. It's very easy and this is a huge community

1138
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:36,940
And engagement, component that I believe it's going to reap the rewards in future years.

1139
01:07:37,260 --> 01:07:38,360
So let me tell you.

1140
01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:45,220
Good evening, Mayor, council members, and village staff. My name is Olivia Glowala.

1141
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:55,660
And I'm a new member of the village's communication team. I'm excited to be here today to introduce an innovative new platform that will enhance

1142
01:07:55,660 --> 01:07:57,800
how we share information with our residents.

1143
01:07:58,620 --> 01:08:02,320
It's Zen City, also known as the Village Hub.

1144
01:08:03,380 --> 01:08:07,420
So Zen City is a centralized user-friendly platform

1145
01:08:07,420 --> 01:08:09,600
designed to have the latest updates

1146
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:14,080
on Village Projects, Initiatives, Events, and Surveys.

1147
01:08:14,580 --> 01:08:18,400
Its primary goal is to provide a clear and transparent stream

1148
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:21,080
of communication between the village and our residents

1149
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:25,580
We'll also offering valuable insights that help guide future planning.

1150
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:30,860
So the platform is easily accessible through our village website as you can see.

1151
01:08:31,500 --> 01:08:34,740
Once you click the link, you'll land on the Zen City's homepage,

1152
01:08:35,500 --> 01:08:38,660
where you'll see an overview of all the current projects at a glance.

1153
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:41,860
And by Zen City, you mean, that's just the software.

1154
01:08:42,540 --> 01:08:43,760
That's the name of the software, right?

1155
01:08:44,440 --> 01:08:44,500
Yes.

1156
01:08:45,500 --> 01:08:52,460
So each project page is regularly updated to ensure residents always have the most accurate

1157
01:08:52,460 --> 01:08:53,620
and up-to-date information.

1158
01:08:54,840 --> 01:09:00,020
So one example of this is the US-1 Bridge Construction Project.

1159
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:09,280
So here we provide a project overview explaining the scope of work, a detailed timeline

1160
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:12,020
outlining key phases,

1161
01:09:14,140 --> 01:09:19,680
a highlight of important dates, and then we have the ability to embed

1162
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:25,360
videos like this one from FDOT's meeting on February 5th.

1163
01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:30,240
We also use the space to share critical project updates as they come in.

1164
01:09:30,860 --> 01:09:38,500
For instance, our police department recently issued a PSA urging drivers to stay alert and drive

1165
01:09:38,500 --> 01:09:43,980
safe way through the construction zone so I can show you that video now.

1166
01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:49,140
A village in North Palm Beach residents and visitors, I'm Sergeant Aldrich with the North

1167
01:09:49,140 --> 01:09:50,280
Palm Beach Police Department.

1168
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:53,080
Traffic can be a frustrating thing here in South Florida.

1169
01:09:53,700 --> 01:09:57,820
You may have noticed delays on US Highway 1 at North Lake Boulevard and beyond,

1170
01:09:58,220 --> 01:10:02,040
because construction has begun on the Irmene River Bridge to replace the aging bridge.

1171
01:10:02,540 --> 01:10:07,780
We'll be down to one lane on Monday, February 24th, for 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.,

1172
01:10:07,780 --> 01:10:11,220
both South and Northbound lanes on the US Highway 1.

1173
01:10:11,500 --> 01:10:12,940
We're anticipating significant delays

1174
01:10:12,940 --> 01:10:15,700
and we do recommend avoiding the area at the time.

1175
01:10:16,140 --> 01:10:17,700
You still have to travel the area though.

1176
01:10:17,740 --> 01:10:19,120
Please make sure that you plan

1177
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,940
in additional 15 to 20 minutes to your travel time.

1178
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:23,620
The village of North Palm Beach

1179
01:10:23,620 --> 01:10:25,700
along with four to department of transportation

1180
01:10:25,700 --> 01:10:28,940
will do everything that we can mitigate problems

1181
01:10:28,940 --> 01:10:30,960
in traffic during the virtual placement.

1182
01:10:31,340 --> 01:10:32,920
The North Palm Beach Police Department

1183
01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:34,880
thanks you for staying alert

1184
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:38,520
and driving safely through this active construction site.

1185
01:10:43,420 --> 01:10:44,440
That is awesome.

1186
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,180
So if I can, I can each interject real quick.

1187
01:10:47,480 --> 01:10:52,720
So this was, this was a push by Chief Colisky and doing these PSAs.

1188
01:10:53,380 --> 01:10:57,500
So I just wanted to, I just wanted to give him some credit working with this staff and

1189
01:10:57,500 --> 01:10:59,820
Olivia to get this, but share what you can.

1190
01:11:00,820 --> 01:11:07,800
So this PSA has seen a great engagement from our community in just over the past week.

1191
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:14,180
It has received over 7,000 views and has been shared more than 70 times across all of our platform.

1192
01:11:15,060 --> 01:11:20,560
This tells us that residents are actively engaging with and spreading important safety messages,

1193
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:24,740
which is exactly the kind of awareness that we want to generate.

1194
01:11:27,210 --> 01:11:28,310
That's amazing, 7,000.

1195
01:11:28,550 --> 01:11:30,810
I'm responsible for a lot of that.

1196
01:11:33,690 --> 01:11:38,350
Thank you for joining. People complain that you need to go to this site.

1197
01:11:38,350 --> 01:11:41,810
It's great, yeah, it's wonderful, wonderful.

1198
01:11:42,190 --> 01:11:42,450
Can we?

1199
01:11:44,210 --> 01:11:48,190
It's slightly bolder, or like, on the, I don't know that I would

1200
01:11:48,190 --> 01:11:51,510
know to go to the Village Hub on that main landing page.

1201
01:11:51,790 --> 01:11:56,530
We make the title something, I don't know what that might be, but

1202
01:11:56,530 --> 01:11:58,530
actually going back on that front page.

1203
01:11:58,850 --> 01:12:03,110
Some of them are more, not the project page, the main website.

1204
01:12:05,510 --> 01:12:05,910
Yeah,

1205
01:12:09,100 --> 01:12:11,780
like the village hub, I don't know what that means.

1206
01:12:12,900 --> 01:12:16,960
I'd like to like, like, trash and bulk pick up, register for trash and bulk pick up?

1207
01:12:16,980 --> 01:12:20,740
I think trash and bulk pick up, but it's about the hub.

1208
01:12:20,940 --> 01:12:22,040
The hub when I don't know.

1209
01:12:22,260 --> 01:12:23,980
This is where you actually need to go.

1210
01:12:24,020 --> 01:12:26,360
So what I would suggest is if we simply put it on.

1211
01:12:27,660 --> 01:12:28,060
Okay.

1212
01:12:29,100 --> 01:12:29,500
Yeah.

1213
01:12:30,480 --> 01:12:30,640
Yeah.

1214
01:12:31,500 --> 01:12:31,880
No.

1215
01:12:34,460 --> 01:12:34,860
No.

1216
01:12:34,860 --> 01:12:39,680
at its lowest form. We haven't done anything because we wanted to showcase it to you also take

1217
01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:45,080
it to feedback on where this is. And we literally just, it was a lady that called it

1218
01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:50,420
the Billy Chub. I mean, I like, I like the Billy Chub, and I think if you put it first,

1219
01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:52,380
I would click on it first, just to see what we're doing.

1220
01:12:52,380 --> 01:12:54,980
Are you laying closures? Is there a building for the sub-title?

1221
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:59,280
Oh, all you're doing? Yeah, yeah, or something like that. Is there a, yeah.

1222
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:02,060
at a weekend or village hub dash, something.

1223
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:03,100
Yeah, great.

1224
01:13:03,440 --> 01:13:04,820
That's just one of our best things to say.

1225
01:13:04,820 --> 01:13:05,120
Thank you so much.

1226
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:05,720
Yeah.

1227
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:06,800
It's one.

1228
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:07,740
Welcome aboard.

1229
01:13:07,860 --> 01:13:08,540
Very needed.

1230
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:10,300
And so glad you're with us.

1231
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:11,440
Thank you very much.

1232
01:13:12,180 --> 01:13:13,360
We're not taking away from it.

1233
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:13,960
It is still here.

1234
01:13:14,060 --> 01:13:16,240
You're still working on these other different things.

1235
01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:18,780
So this is just a...

1236
01:13:18,780 --> 01:13:21,200
Is there other things you wanted to show us?

1237
01:13:21,740 --> 01:13:21,940
Yes.

1238
01:13:22,420 --> 01:13:26,600
So Zen City isn't just for construction and infrastructure projects.

1239
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:30,440
It's also a fantastic tool for promoting our large,

1240
01:13:30,440 --> 01:13:32,880
special event, like Heritage Day Festival.

1241
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:38,020
So on here, we can also share event timelines and schedules,

1242
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:43,240
provide detailed information on the activities happening throughout the day.

1243
01:13:43,860 --> 01:13:46,980
We can upload root maps.

1244
01:13:53,460 --> 01:13:57,400
Well, if you can imagine it, it's a photo of the golf cart grade root.

1245
01:14:01,180 --> 01:14:10,320
And then it includes forms for anyone that's interested in participating in the actual of that.

1246
01:14:10,860 --> 01:14:26,300
And then overall we see the village hub as an essential tool for keeping our residents engaged and forms and connected by offering easy access to key updates, timelines and alerts we're making it easier than ever for our community.

1247
01:14:26,300 --> 01:14:29,040
Thank you for your time.

1248
01:14:29,940 --> 01:14:31,240
I want to add one more thing.

1249
01:14:31,480 --> 01:14:33,860
Just down at the bottom of each one of these pages.

1250
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:40,080
We have an opportunity for if you just want to sign up for the notifications for that specific piece.

1251
01:14:40,620 --> 01:14:44,100
Or if you can go back to the main page, you can sign up for all of them.

1252
01:14:44,900 --> 01:14:46,340
It's like there you could just click on all.

1253
01:14:46,580 --> 01:14:47,080
That's great.

1254
01:14:47,420 --> 01:14:51,340
I'm telling you for residents and comments about the bridge construction.

1255
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:52,320
It's wonderful.

1256
01:14:52,700 --> 01:14:53,980
Just refer them there.

1257
01:14:53,980 --> 01:14:56,720
Yeah, I want to do that, thank you.

1258
01:14:57,200 --> 01:14:59,400
Olivia, Olivia, so when you want to go back to you, go...

1259
01:15:01,620 --> 01:15:11,980
Well, you just go back to that main rule go back here, but we can update that link to go right back to the, to this main page that shows all of the project.

1260
01:15:12,300 --> 01:15:19,460
Okay, because that's not self-explanatory. I just watched you do it, because I kept going to the back air. I was going to get back.

1261
01:15:19,980 --> 01:15:21,940
We're not easy change.

1262
01:15:22,540 --> 01:15:23,100
That's great.

1263
01:15:23,580 --> 01:15:25,840
Thank you so much. We really, really, really wonderful.

1264
01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:27,120
Glad to have you with us.

1265
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:27,500
Thank you.

1266
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:28,040
Thank you.

1267
01:15:31,740 --> 01:15:38,300
Mayer that is it. Thank you very much. Okay, so I'm going to adjourn this meeting and take a five-minute break, and we will resume.

1268
01:15:38,420 --> 01:15:39,760
I guess I was here.

1269
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:41,100
I'm here.

1270
01:15:42,360 --> 01:15:44,260
And I want to...
