[1:24] order the meeting thank you.

[1:25] Commissioner dipietro with the

[1:26] lead us in the playoffs serve.

[1:38] >> united states of stands one

[1:40] nation under GOD indivisible

[1:40] with liberty and justice for

[1:42] all.

[1:52] >> thank you sir. To bring the

[1:53] commissioner stow seconded by

[1:53] vice mayor to approve agenda.

[2:06] Please that passes 5 to 0.

[2:10] Probably go to court.

[2:14] >> robin thomas entail good

[2:16] evening commissioners as you

[2:18] are all assistance citizen do

[2:20] not want any type of data

[2:21] center, especially I first

[2:23] online in our city you're

[2:23] tired angry to continuously

[2:24] hear about the lack of

[2:26] commercial and industrial

[2:28] enterprises. You have rezoned

[2:29] our city in such a way that

[2:29] you are removing our quality

[2:31] of life and right to quiet

[2:32] enjoyment. Understand the need

[2:34] for change but not at our

[2:36] expense. We will rise up and

[2:38] do everything we can to ensure

[2:39] this doesn't happen. We will

[2:40] organize together and use our

[2:43] voices and every available way

[2:44] order to have our voices heard

[2:45] and achieve our ultimate goals

[2:48] which puts the citizen

[2:49] citizenry and environment

[2:51] first there are city organized

[2:51] town halls for media

[2:55] saturation that will change

[2:56] our minds. Commissioners who

[2:58] are supposed to represent the

[2:59] citizens. We expect you to do

[2:59] what is in our best interest

[3:05] and that center's or not.

[3:06] Carmen miranda commissioner

[3:07] posted about center and and

[3:09] the fact that he feels he can

[3:11] talk about it because he

[3:12] didn't sign I agree that

[3:13] residents have every right to

[3:14] understand how decisions are

[3:15] made and that florida's public

[3:18] records parts closure are not

[3:20] exempt information. However, I

[3:21] think important point is ever

[3:22] left the question is whether

[3:23] discussing important

[3:24] information connected to an

[3:25] act of economic development

[3:31] perspective. Prospect. Process

[3:33] runs. Its course serves the

[3:37] public interest statue 2 88.0

[3:38] 75 protects more brits it

[3:38] protects a couple companies

[3:40] plans intentions and interest

[3:40] on that and locating or

[3:45] expanding in florida because

[3:45] the legislature recognized

[3:47] that premature disclosure can

[3:48] jeopardize projects in place

[3:51] communities at a competitive

[3:53] disadvantage. Part of a center

[3:54] MAY have a legitimate

[3:55] expectation that is interest

[3:56] in the city remains

[3:58] confidential during the

[3:59] recruitment phase. Temporary

[4:00] that she only does not

[4:00] eliminate the club public's

[4:03] right to know. It's a late

[4:04] disclosure until the process

[4:05] reaches a stage for the

[4:06] information can be released

[4:08] without harming the covid

[4:09] company's interest for the

[4:09] community's ability to compete

[4:12] for economic opportunities.

[4:13] Residents deserve

[4:14] transparency. They also

[4:16] deserve a city that can

[4:17] successfully complete compete

[4:17] for jobs and investment those

[4:20] goals are not mutually.

[4:21] Exclusive but they do require

[4:25] careful judgment about timing

[4:25] its staff and consultants are

[4:26] falling all and honoring

[4:30] envelop confidentiality

[4:31] request. They MAY have limited

[4:32] ability to disclose

[4:33] information until the

[4:34] statutory confidentiality

[4:37] period expires for the company

[4:37] authorizes release.

[4:38] >> the issue is not whether

[4:39] information should become

[4:40] public the issue is whether it

[4:41] should become public before

[4:45] the legal process and economic

[4:46] development process having

[4:47] completed and the broader

[4:48] responsibility elected

[4:48] officials have when dealing

[4:53] with active perspective

[4:56] >> thank you moving on to

[4:57] general business item a 26

[4:59] dash 9, 6, 8, city manager,

[5:03] this is your item.

[5:06] >> it is made as discussed a

[5:08] possible action regarding the

[5:09] 2026 certification of taxable

[5:10] value proposed millage

[5:13] scheduled days for public

[5:14] hearings. We do have a short

[5:14] presentation to go through

[5:18] with you today and starting.

[5:19] There's a lot talk about the

[5:21] maximum rate so we are

[5:22] recommending to the boy or

[5:28] rate of 3 point 7, 6, 6, 7,

[5:31] been the same rate since 2021

[5:34] producing revenue that

[5:38] 41 million 697. $1000.

[5:39] >> you look at the history of

[5:40] our millage rate this will be

[5:45] the.

[5:48] >> year in a row of keeping a

[5:48] really great the which is

[5:49] probably talk about a little

[5:53] bit during our conversation

[5:54] earlier today meaning that

[5:57] other fully know is that and

[5:59] rate is not the only tax or

[6:01] fee that the city's control of

[6:04] that is the largest one in our

[6:06] revenues green one that people

[6:08] most associated with so

[6:09] keeping the snow rain say to

[6:10] this law is in the coffin of

[6:13] the rays have increased not

[6:14] have increased. Has increased

[6:20] in that time period. Looking

[6:23] taxable valuation going 2

[6:25] years where we have been on a

[6:26] porch swing and we continue

[6:28] that way growth of our city

[6:32] has been locally nationally we

[6:33] have been very much praise for

[6:34] the growth in our tax

[6:37] violations of our city. We

[6:39] know that it can last at the

[6:40] same rate forever, but we do

[6:41] believe that people are going

[6:42] to want to continue to come

[6:45] and moved here that is based

[6:46] on the quality of life the

[6:49] successes that we have and

[6:50] will leave by people who

[6:52] either moved here 3 years or

[6:52] 30 years ago they have seen

[6:53] the growth and appreciate

[6:57] where we are as I mentioned

[7:03] some of the so what the tactic

[7:03] proposing is that you are

[7:07] allowed to use a role our room

[7:11] but raised 3.82 for it to make

[7:14] a which is higher than our

[7:16] current rate so that would

[7:17] bring $42,000 revenue for an

[7:22] extra $680,000 wires a

[7:23] majority of the vote 3 of the

[7:26] 5 of you to do that that means

[7:27] you know your that could be

[7:28] the starting point of where

[7:31] you start to look at how tall

[7:34] said some of the cost of going

[7:35] to it does need to be able to

[7:35] layered approach to the

[7:37] situation and not just looking

[7:40] all expenses all the time.

[7:46] Also the rollback rate as

[7:51] possibility as you move role

[7:53] that at one and 2% would be

[7:56] 4.2 1, 2 or 46.6 million

[8:00] dollars for extra 4.9 million

[8:01] dollars and that will require

[8:01] a two-thirds vote for a battle

[8:07] of the board order to pass

[8:08] that do have one or that that

[8:12] it was does look aggressive

[8:13] most likely it is, but I think

[8:14] they put that you know that

[8:15] you would have rates we would

[8:20] have in order to I mean the

[8:20] need. Right here. We are

[8:29] looking in. But of the

[8:30] rollback rate and as you can

[8:31] see you know public safety is

[8:35] still above that what we look

[8:37] at when you look at the

[8:38] revenue the current millage in

[8:40] the rollback rate when are

[8:45] told that you can see the

[8:46] public safety fired you is a

[8:47] boat that mean that still have

[8:48] somebody to go in order to

[8:49] make sure that we make up for

[8:55] that part of general fund.

[8:57] Here you see red that are

[8:59] right on my farm your

[9:00] division. Police and fire

[9:05] making up roughly 89% of the

[9:12] actual. So which is the but we

[9:13] know that that can't be the

[9:13] target of what we're trying to

[9:16] accomplish we deal with

[9:17] whatever second forward

[9:18] everybody an assault or even

[9:21] if it doesn't happen so we're

[9:23] always trying to make that he

[9:26] made today a lot of partners

[9:27] should you're deciding how to

[9:28] make sure that we could take

[9:30] care and tackle this problem

[9:31] together as a city and not

[9:31] heisley anyone department or

[9:40] division. It's a the existing

[9:42] service level. Many 0.2

[9:44] million dollars budget

[9:46] proposal for 2.3 million

[9:47] dozens were 2 million dollars

[9:50] in our cip was an additional 4

[9:54] to 46. $1000 totaling 9 e

[10:00] 953 million dollars. When you

[10:02] get know what poll 2.3 million

[10:06] you can see that 802 that was

[10:10] through the fire department.

[10:13] Then you do services at a

[10:16] million dollars a few other

[10:17] funds for efficient technology

[10:18] city managers and small parks

[10:25] and recreation. What this

[10:26] right here about 2 dozen that

[10:30] up 2.0 72 million dollars.

[10:32] Here's where and how we got to

[10:35] love 5% of the barn size. The

[10:38] problem is it is will be I'm

[10:42] in year's exercise a 10%. Even

[10:43] though we MAY not take that 2%

[10:47] we have to perform exercise by

[10:49] by law and you have to publish

[10:49] it what you do it you can't

[10:53] just do it and keep it to

[10:54] yourself so we are going to

[10:56] see next how 10% of the budget

[11:02] reduction impacts our.

[11:03] Services the quality services

[11:06] that we provide. It's

[11:07] something like I said really

[11:11] want to talk about take it out

[11:12] exactly what the us to do as

[11:15] far I want to use an dealers

[11:17] and how we move forward, but

[11:18] we we will those conversations

[11:20] that I knew back recess from

[11:23] recess in AUGUST and SEPTEMBER

[11:24] we should have more

[11:25] information to share with you

[11:27] just a pathway forward.

[11:28] Commissioner, a federal region

[11:32] earlier not waiting too. Get

[11:33] out in front of the things

[11:34] that's something that we talk

[11:34] about what do. Earlier as

[11:41] well. So next steps is of

[11:43] course the certifications of

[11:46] taxable due to county

[11:49] appraiser AUGUST 17 the

[11:50] mileage. The estimated

[11:51] building of the chain noses

[11:52] will happen. SEPTEMBER to be

[11:56] your first public. Budget

[11:57] hearing meeting attended doing

[12:01] that with rate will be and I

[12:04] don't is going for to be a

[12:05] second public to adopt the

[12:11] budget in rates. That is all

[12:12] we have the question to the

[12:16] board we have. Get into have

[12:29] anything. And the budget. Have

[12:31] any public not. And all of

[12:34] emotion.

[12:41] I guess so make it.

[12:43] >> moved to direct city

[12:47] manager to submit the 2026

[12:48] certificated certificate, a

[12:49] taxable value would pose

[12:53] millet rate of 3.7 6, 6, 7,

[12:59] manager to submit the 2026

[13:01] with the proposed millage rate

[13:04] commissioner stella seconded

[13:50] seconded by commissioner

[13:59] nothing to that please vote.

[14:00] Not pass is 5 to 0 moving on

[14:05] to item 26 dash. 0, 4, sitting

[14:09] does your

[14:11] >> is that JULY 21st meeting

[14:15] commission took action

[14:16] >> directed the city manager

[14:17] schedule a special meeting for

[14:18] data center moratorium in the

[14:21] month of AUGUST in clearing

[14:22] the commissioners I could not

[14:24] find a date that all

[14:24] commissioners could be present

[14:29] in the month of AUGUST so I

[14:30] have provided states that the

[14:32] majority of the commission can

[14:32] be present for you all

[14:34] determine what date would work

[14:34] best for you or if we should

[14:35] push until the SEPTEMBER

[14:41] meetings.

[14:42] >> and just a reminder. We're

[14:44] just discussing that days

[14:47] before the meeting in this

[14:48] conversation we are not

[14:49] discussing any of the unders

[14:50] just to set up this meeting so

[14:53] commissioner steps. Question

[14:56] for seeing that today. Is

[15:01] there any impact on. Strength

[15:06] of any legal arguments. We

[15:10] schedule this like. It's a

[15:12] parolee and this week and for

[15:13] first week of SEPTEMBER there.

[15:16] I mean just that period of

[15:21] time. Any on how the court may

[15:24] look this.

[15:24] >> I don't think it's going to

[15:25] have much of a difference

[15:30] either way. Commissioner spoke

[15:36] up. Admire.

[15:37] >> I'm just and and looking my

[15:38] calendar we wanted to try to

[15:43] adhere to the letter of the

[15:45] law. Monday is AUGUST 31st and

[15:49] we are all back in we could

[15:53] schedule with and still be in

[15:55] otherwise my only concern

[15:58] would be for city with with

[15:59] never done anything like this

[16:05] we do have some good examples

[16:07] without AUGUST 31st, give you

[16:07] enough time to do a good job

[16:10] on ordinance.

[16:16] >> that's the first.

[16:17] >> but that we're looking at

[16:18] SEPTEMBER alternative what's

[16:20] the difference in the week.

[16:22] Think that would be much you

[16:28] so that that's anybody else.

[16:35] We have the public

[16:36] >> it is extremely important

[16:37] that any meeting the schedule

[16:37] thus far in advance as

[16:38] possible. So that public

[16:41] comment can the most simple

[16:43] public comment can be the most

[16:44] important at this time, none

[16:45] of the request dealing with

[16:45] the disasters have been

[16:49] responded to by the city. Rob

[16:51] thomas sent good evening

[16:52] commissioners with the

[16:53] citizens citizens of north

[16:54] port would like to first the

[16:58] first reading of the or more

[16:59] 06:00pm meeting in order to

[17:01] allow for full participation

[17:02] of the citizens, this is too

[17:03] much of an important topic to

[17:04] have it held at 10:00am when

[17:06] the majority of our citizens,

[17:06] our work. Please consider this

[17:07] a sense first in your

[17:13] decision. Carmen miranda.

[17:14] Commissioner posted about this

[17:15] is the exact same public

[17:17] comment that we received for

[17:18] the last one do you want me to

[17:22] read into the record again I

[17:22] just.

[17:25] >> for legality purposes I

[17:28] suspect for both commissioner

[17:29] about the data center and the

[17:30] and the fact that he feels he

[17:31] can talk about it because he

[17:32] didn't sign it.

[17:32] >> I have everybody to

[17:36] understand how decisions are

[17:41] made in that parks non-exempt

[17:42] information. Think an

[17:42] important point is that real

[17:43] up the question is whether

[17:44] discussing information

[17:45] connected to an act of

[17:46] economic development prospect

[17:46] before the statutory process

[17:47] runs its course serves the

[17:50] public interest. Florida

[17:55] statute 2 88.0 7, 5, protects

[17:56] more than trade secret to

[17:57] protect company's plans

[17:58] intentions, an interest

[17:59] locating or expanding in

[18:03] florida because the legislator

[18:03] legislature recognized that

[18:04] premature disclosure

[18:05] jeopardize projects in place

[18:08] communities at a competitive

[18:08] disadvantage.

[18:10] >> company evaluating front

[18:11] center MAY have a legitimate

[18:11] expectation that its interest

[18:12] in the city remains

[18:14] confidential during the

[18:15] recruitment face temporary

[18:16] mentioning confidentiality

[18:19] does not eliminate. The

[18:21] public's right to if the

[18:21] latest closure until the

[18:22] process reaches the stage for

[18:24] the information can be

[18:25] released without harming the

[18:26] company's interest for the

[18:26] community's ability to compete

[18:29] for economic opportunities.

[18:31] residents deserve

[18:32] transparency. Deserve city

[18:32] that can successfully compete

[18:35] for jobs and investment.

[18:36] Vessels are not mutually

[18:38] exclusive, but they do require

[18:41] careful judgment about timing

[18:42] if staff and so those are

[18:44] honoring about confidentiality

[18:45] request, they MAY have limited

[18:46] ability to disclose

[18:47] information to the statutory

[18:48] confidentiality period expires

[18:51] where the company authorizes

[18:52] release the issue is not

[18:53] whether information should

[18:54] become public. The issue is

[18:56] whether it should be become

[18:57] public before the legal

[18:58] process and economic

[18:59] development process have been

[19:01] completed and the broader

[19:01] responsibility elected

[19:02] officials have been dealing

[19:03] with active prospects models

[19:08] all there.

[19:10] >> all right, I'm going

[19:14] request a motion mayor if I is

[19:15] a scheduled for 10:00am

[19:22] meeting. Which is a problem I

[19:23] think I don't any problem with

[19:24] public comment to set that

[19:27] should be an evening meeting

[19:27] so.

[19:28] >> you know I don't know how

[19:33] we handle if we. You to push

[19:34] it out for SEPTEMBER but

[19:35] unless we can switch time of

[19:38] that meeting from 10 flooded

[19:42] before. Well one.

[19:44] >> one local city clerk, you

[19:45] know when the next meeting

[19:47] would be the 6 o'clock that's

[19:55] quite a ways down the road.

[20:00] >> ok back to city attorney

[20:01] delay in that would that have

[20:03] any effects to what we're

[20:05] trying to do legally I know

[20:09] would like to do it as soon as

[20:10] possible what that was today

[20:14] and it was 22nd, I believe she

[20:14] predator.

[20:18] >> tell you I think now the

[20:21] report about you MAY start

[20:24] running into some problems

[20:25] there.

[20:26] >> we also MAY be suggestions.

[20:27] We have the day meeting just

[20:28] schedule, a special meeting at

[20:28] city managers are paid for

[20:29] 06:00pm just for that one

[20:32] item.

[20:37] >> and we can do

[20:44] >> we will

[20:45] >> got put down or city

[20:46] manager we couldn't be here

[20:47] today on the 22nd because we

[20:48] have a court about vision

[20:49] hearing that's the. Creep into

[20:54] that very quickly 22nd that

[21:02] because to do the opposite

[21:05] correct.

[21:06] >> now we're talking about not

[21:07] waiting until the end of

[21:11] SEPTEMBER having it on the

[21:12] case. Having a special meeting

[21:13] at 6 o'clock you can so what I

[21:23] do have a scheduled for right

[21:32] >> first reading of the

[21:39] ordinance. And keep the 22nd

[21:41] where is according to I mean

[21:42] we've changed to more city

[21:45] clerk to where.

[21:46] >> we've done our best to do

[21:47] it a day and night meeting but

[21:52] we have. Donald meetings to

[21:53] where it's both daytime and

[21:54] both nighttime so why would

[21:55] this differ in that category

[21:58] we could still the 6 o'clock

[21:59] at night and then the 6

[22:00] o'clock in the 20 seconds

[22:05] still yes, get it done nothing

[22:06] to say.

[22:08] >> I don't want to vote you

[22:09] the practice I want the past

[22:15] before for. Citizen

[22:16] consumption we just both not

[22:17] that that's even better for

[22:21] the citizens.

[22:21] >> it's just one of during the

[22:22] day which is why you have to

[22:23] practice understand that sir.

[22:24] I just want

[22:34] >> I

[22:34] >> the times and do the

[22:39] meeting on 8th. At 6 and do

[22:41] the meeting on the 20 whatever

[22:45] it is at 10 and you what the

[22:47] times you know there you can

[22:50] even be here for that we can

[22:53] do so we won't have the

[22:54] official poor you that would

[23:03] be or simply schedules second

[23:04] reading during a special

[23:06] meeting as well to both in a

[23:08] special meeting and not have

[23:11] to spring all I mean the years

[23:12] while there I questions of

[23:13] city attorney because I want

[23:15] to make sure that there

[23:15] wouldn't be any legal

[23:16] prejudice in terms of the port

[23:20] of but there's also.

[23:23] >> the fact that we want this

[23:25] before us we don't want this

[23:27] can kick down the road for a

[23:29] month 2 months 3 months people

[23:29] are concerned about this and

[23:30] the sooner we address it the

[23:34] sooner. In my personal opinion

[23:37] we put a moratorium in place

[23:38] you're all so if we could do

[23:40] it tomorrow, I'd be happy to

[23:40] do with them so if earliest is

[23:44] the 8th of SEPTEMBER. So be

[23:45] it. Let's do a special

[23:45] meeting, let's just get it

[23:46] done.

[23:47] >> mayor if I MAY.

[23:52] >> I'll call on

[23:58] >> here you've got a city

[23:58] preference.

[24:01] >> I'm if you want I think the

[24:02] vice used to second. We are

[24:09] all second meeting morning 10

[24:10] days before publication of the

[24:15] final.

[24:18] >> it you know be 9 days if

[24:23] you how we just thought.

[24:24] >> you know it's going to say

[24:30] same attorney was that we do

[24:32] it in the month of AUGUST so

[24:36] plea let's let's stick to

[24:36] motions.

[24:37] >> and not going all the way

[24:40] till SEPTEMBER. Maybe we can

[24:43] do it earlier and one of us is

[24:43] missing and the quarter was

[24:46] there.

[24:48] >> and unanimously

[24:53] >> the motion so. Percy know

[24:58] major changes on hand. As far

[25:00] as actual ordinance to the I

[25:03] see trying to get isn't

[25:04] working.

[25:04] >> I see trying to get there

[25:08] but with that said you know,

[25:09] everybody makes plans and

[25:12] stuff like that so if I don't

[25:14] think it's fair that we have a

[25:15] meeting without full bore I

[25:16] don't think it's for I mean we

[25:17] have to make concessions to

[25:20] where we can meet when

[25:21] everybody comey I mean you

[25:23] that stuff that you are going

[25:24] on. Just met without you it

[25:27] wouldn't be fair to you. So we

[25:28] that's why we need discuss

[25:32] haven't a speeding and in for

[25:34] everybody, so commissioner

[25:36] vice mayor yeah, I just think

[25:37] that this topic is too

[25:38] important to not have a full

[25:39] board thank

[25:41] >> person would work. As a

[25:57] city attorney. Which first.

[25:57] And this is that need correct

[25:58] city manager here and that you

[26:02] just for your consideration.

[26:03] >> when when we thought was

[26:03] going to go and I don't think

[26:06] we can really change it too

[26:10] much around anyway just based

[26:10] on electability we workshop

[26:15] for housing for this topic

[26:16] SEPTEMBER the 3rd which was

[26:16] going to be in advance of you

[26:19] or your first meeting of the

[26:23] day that meeting that will be

[26:24] important to you as a workshop

[26:29] in here you comment public

[26:30] comment. And then represen to

[26:34] talk about the power side of

[26:36] the conversation. Peace

[26:36] represent what we can talk

[26:38] about the worst of the

[26:44] conversation. Made it a dana

[26:45] this within range from the

[26:48] outside that window that will

[26:48] recommend that if you want to

[26:51] go see one go visit him before

[26:52] that time. So you're going to

[26:55] see yourself staff will do the

[26:58] same and that way down first

[27:00] time that you'll actually have

[27:01] some more independent

[27:02] observations and data in order

[27:02] to help you mission begin the

[27:05] topic of conversation. I don't

[27:06] think even the choose to make

[27:09] your fertile 31st is going to

[27:11] impact that in a very negative

[27:12] way just making sure that

[27:13] you're aware of it and you

[27:15] make your decision on your

[27:16] day.

[27:16] >> thank you yeah, but it MAY

[27:20] impacted too with prosser was

[27:23] the thinking about different

[27:25] avenues and what what's being

[27:26] projected to side rather have

[27:27] more information prior to this

[27:28] meeting less which is

[27:30] appreciate that. I want a

[27:35] motion. Believe in towards the

[27:39] 8 oh I think

[27:39] >> I make a motion that we

[27:43] schedule the first on the 31st

[27:44] at 6 o'clock be a special

[27:46] meeting. Second.

[27:50] >> motion on the floor made by

[27:51] commissioner stokes to have

[27:55] the first AUGUST 31st at

[27:56] 06:00pm seconded commissioner

[28:01] pedro. There's nothing to that

[28:15] please

[28:16] and passes 3 to myself

[28:18] and vice mayor dissenting vice

[28:23] and do yeah and just say if.

[28:27] >> if we don't take advantage

[28:27] of for more information and my

[28:29] concern is we are running on

[28:34] emotion and not on facts. So

[28:36] I'm way more inclined to go

[28:41] back to the asa and have an

[28:41] opportunity to have a workshop

[28:44] and I would very much like to

[28:45] visit ahead for scale data

[28:46] center and see it for myself

[28:50] have not had that opportunity.

[28:51] >> and I think it would be

[28:52] good for all of us to have

[28:55] that opportunity learn really

[28:55] important that we make our

[28:58] decisions based on facts.

[29:00] >> there would be appropriate.

[29:09] that.
