[0:00] already high from [0:03] excessive rainfall. It might [0:06] take longer and that's normal. [0:07] If you've ever seen grass and [0:08] our retention ditches it MAY [0:11] look like poor maintenance. [0:11] But in many cases it's exactly [0:12] what we want. [0:16] But haitian helps filter out [0:17] pollutants that was roads [0:18] driveways [0:24] and yards. It also slowed the [0:25] water down giving the system [0:26] time to move water safely [0:27] without creating watch out for [0:28] the retention ditches [0:31] intersect with canals. [0:33] Developers today are required [0:34] to build retention ponds and [0:37] engineer stormwater systems on [0:38] their property. The system's [0:39] hold water on site and only [0:41] release it slowly into the [0:42] city's network, commercial [0:46] sites follow the same rules. [0:47] Many new development is [0:48] designed to reduce not [0:49] increase sudden runoff into [0:52] our system behind the scenes. [0:52] >> coors public works teams [0:58] that year round. Crews most [0:58] wales clear calvert [0:59] and maintain retention ditches [1:03] and canals so water can keep [1:04] moving. Sometimes that means [1:04] using [1:05] specialized equipment like a [1:08] long stick excavators these [1:10] large machines reach deep into [1:10] canals [1:11] to clear debris and keep water [1:15] flowing efficiently. And after [1:17] storms crews are on the ground [1:18] inspecting repairing and [1:19] responding quickly to changing [1:21] conditions. It's a massive job [1:21] and it never stops. [1:25] But the system is only as [1:27] strong as how we all treated. [1:28] Residents played big part in [1:31] keeping water moving. That [1:31] means keeping swales and [1:32] driveway culvert [1:35] is clear. Never dumping grass [1:35] clippings or debris in the [1:37] ditches. And reporting [1:38] problems when you [1:43] see small actions that up and [1:43] they keep the [1:44] entire system working the way [1:46] it was designed to. Trains [1:48] in north port is complex. It [1:50] was designed decades ago, most [1:51] storms have grown more intense [1:55] over the years. The system [1:55] will continue to do its job [1:56] when it's maintained and [1:56] support [2:00] we can make north port [2:01] drainage system continue to [2:02] protect our homes. Our [2:03] community. And [2:14] our future. [2:16] >> in port families are [2:21] finding more and more places [2:21] bill. [2:30] >> just for them we are in [2:31] center [2:41] >> today is tuesday SEPTEMBER [2:42] 2026, it's 10:00am where the [2:42] city chambers and I called the [2:43] city commission regular [2:46] meeting to order.

Thank you I'm going to [4:08] ask for approval of the [4:10] >> have a motion on floor by [4:11] commissioner still to approve [4:13] the agenda do I have second [4:14] second seconded by [4:14] commissioner who vice mayor [4:19] london. It's nothing to that [4:23] and that passes 5 to 0. So [4:27] public comment please ma'am. [4:29] >> and her son I have and the [4:43] havre. [4:44] >> good morning commissioners. [4:46] My name is jenna to I live in [4:49] port in a support the data [4:51] center moratorium. I have [4:52] previously spoken about [4:53] technical in consistencies in [4:56] the deep park applications. [4:58] Today I want to focus on the [4:58] public people trail for the [5:02] moratorium exclusion. The [5:02] public a stellar record for [5:07] this data center application. [5:10] >> psd pee dash 2, 6, dash 0, [5:11] 3, 3, 2, shows a submittal in [5:14] issue date of AUGUST 31st, it [5:19] shows a record summery around [5:20] 04:00pm he's around 05:00pm [5:21] and workflow status quote [5:25] application in t awaiting [5:26] plans. But obvious are first [5:26] does not appear to be [5:31] beginning of this application [5:33] history. JULY to data centers [5:34] documents including digitally [5:36] signed plans from the 20 it. [5:40] And applicant AUGUST 31st [5:40] filing response to city [5:44] comments from AUGUST 12th. [5:46] That appears to indicate there [5:47] was earlier submission or [5:51] intake is associated with this [5:52] application. But I've not [5:52] found the public acela project [5:55] number for that JULY's [5:56] submission. The public a [5:56] stellar record I can find for [6:01] the dea park data center site [6:03] development plan is psd pee [6:07] dash 2, 6 dash 3, 3, 8, 2 [6:10] showing AUGUST 31st is the [6:11] submittal t if the JUNE was [6:11] the mission was later [6:17] converted into. For the to I [6:19] would expect the public record [6:21] to show history identify the [6:24] original intake record. Right [6:27] now I can see the JULY [6:27] documents and in AUGUST 31st [6:30] to some of the submittal but [6:31] not the official bridge [6:34] between them. What official [6:38] record connects the JULY [6:40] submission. The AUGUST 12 city [6:44] comments in the AUGUST 31st, a [6:45] seller record that matters [6:46] because this project is being [6:47] treated differently under the [6:53] moratorium. Even suddenly is [6:55] the standard the public should [6:57] know which submission and the [6:59] exclusion and where it can be [7:02] verified. My second concern is [7:05] what that exclusion protects [7:07] the applicants documents show [7:08] major support infrastructure [7:10] is not fully within this [7:11] application. The plan's legal [7:12] the electrical substation [7:17] quote by others and the [7:17] applicant's responses that [7:20] will be developed leader under [7:21] separate cover. Before that [7:23] went SEPTEMBER 22nd second [7:26] reading please identify the [7:26] official submission that earns [7:29] a fee exclusion. The record [7:32] number indeed tied to it. The [7:35] ordinance language allowing [7:39] pst pee dash 2, 6, dash 0, 3, [7:43] to to continue. And whether [7:44] exclusion protects only that [7:45] has filed also future [7:46] separately permit it the [7:55] structures. Thank you. [8:00] >> good morning [8:00] >> I'm going to take a totally [8:01] different approach and kind of [8:04] wing it here bear with I'm say [8:06] for stuff that I for you. [8:09] Representing. [8:14] >> thousands upon thousands of [8:15] citizens, not just within our [8:18] city but the adjoining city [8:19] also just like when we hear [8:19] from the dias that you're [8:20] representing the city as a [8:23] whole. [8:24] >> but get they're not showing [8:25] up and they're not voting. We [8:26] have this every low voting [8:28] record. I'm doing the same. [8:33] Appear before you to kind of [8:35] plead the case of this data [8:35] center and what it really [8:36] means to our city and do we [8:38] really need it within our city [8:39] and what is the main purpose [8:42] of having it within our city [8:42] and do we have enough [8:43] safeguards particles [8:46] provisions within our city. [8:47] All of that kind of this you [8:51] know we do not. The movement [8:54] is not just limited to a city [8:54] is a nationwide movement and [8:55] is just growing stronger and [8:58] stronger and stronger. [9:00] >> we've had states that are [9:00] actually putting in [9:04] moratoriums trying to put bans [9:05] on it. The technological [9:06] environment that we find [9:07] ourselves in is moving so fast [9:11] that. By the time a data [9:15] center I center gets filled. [9:16] It's almost obsolete because [9:16] the technology has advanced [9:18] way after that and then what [9:22] are we left with possibility [9:23] of having a empty data center [9:25] and maybe a possible bradfield [9:28] so we really don't know that [9:29] is the purpose for this 18 [9:30] month moratorium that we are [9:34] asking. Not to shorten it we [9:34] need the full 18 months to [9:36] really put everything that we [9:41] need into our uldc I've got [9:43] sam was going to speak to one [9:44] of the protections that really [9:46] need to be instituted [9:47] immediately. But I just want [9:51] to say with economic [9:53] development strategy. We just [9:55] can't selling out our city in [9:56] the name of economic [9:57] development and the tax base [10:01] at risk of quality of life [10:04] issues for us citizen. Quality [10:05] of life issues disintegrating [10:09] at a rapid pace because of all [10:10] the development that's going [10:11] on the affordable housing [10:15] restrictions you've got run [10:16] to. It's like where else is [10:17] there to build what else can [10:18] we build now here comes ai [10:21] center and this particular [10:22] it's not a data center at this [10:23] particular square footage. [10:26] It's a I and that should scare [10:26] the # [10:27] # [10:27] # [10:27] # [10:29] out of almost [10:30] everybody here. So again, I'm [10:31] just standing for you to [10:34] really listen to what the [10:35] saying really consider because [10:36] we've got a lot of smart [10:39] people out there. That have [10:40] excellent idea really just [10:41] please consider them all when [10:44] you're having a discussions. [10:53] Thank you. Art. [10:57] >> good morning, good morning. [10:58] Now we have heard of florida [10:59] resident 25 years north port [11:03] tents. I received my term [11:03] notice this year and I [11:04] actually took the time to try [11:07] to understand it for once. So [11:09] the one issue that I didn't [11:11] quite understand and I looked [11:12] at was on the last it's and up [11:15] maine and reconstruction. [11:15] >> I assume that's capital [11:21] projects. So I pulled up the [11:22] of my neighborhood because I [11:25] was curious who's paying what [11:27] that I found out and the [11:28] finance department that it's [11:30] based on $46 per lot. That's [11:32] what we pay into that fund. I [11:35] have 4 lots. Combined so I pay [11:40] a $184, I'm fine with that. [11:41] What I'm not flying with is [11:46] the fact that I sampled 40. [11:47] Double triple quadruple lot in [11:52] my small neighborhood just 40 [11:56] and 28, which is 70% I long. [11:57] They're $46 they should be 90 [12:00] to one 38. There's one on here [12:05] with side lots haley states [12:06] their side lots ken do he pays [12:08] $92. Your chain notices are [12:14] wrong. And if that line is [12:18] what else is is my concern so [12:20] I'm going to give this to to [12:21] the county and have her entry [12:23] into the wreckage. I think [12:26] this is a serious issue. I [12:26] think somebody really needs to [12:27] take a look at [12:37] >> I [12:48] >> have is the first [12:51] >> I MAY I do have some for [12:55] everybody agree to city clerk.

Let's be about the [13:22] reality a multibillion-dollar [13:23] developer has love to permit [13:28] and to our system. Under [13:30] florida law you cannot use [13:32] senate 44 as a retrofit a time [13:37] machine to about patient. Only [13:42] way that the center it is it [13:43] 180 administrative and [13:44] sufficiency clout expires to [13:48] it due to its own technical [13:49] errors. Immediate danger [13:53] to north community 7 florida. [13:54] As the corporate head who is [13:59] at second that the court fails [14:00] play as well that bird chain [14:00] of new to slide applications [14:05] to are so loopholes. We do not [14:07] have months to sit around and [14:08] the slow moving steady task [14:15] tune like that that is ahead [14:19] in the and evidence that was a [14:21] highly secure today's defense [14:22] recognized that so we're not [14:28] so it. Why the pending [14:31] stockton, the moment, those [14:32] commission votes to attempt to [14:34] modify or regulations to since [14:41] the released said shop this us [14:42] view of entire to prison [14:45] reject applications spiral [14:52] after well the lou.

[19:51] Hyperscale danger center is [19:52] not a standard office park is [19:57] a heavy industrial utility. [19:58] These complexes, these [19:59] complexes run continuous [20:00] low-frequency cooling fans and [20:03] backup generators create [20:04] massive noise pollution [20:05] destroying the peace to [20:08] prosperity values, a nearby [20:09] neighborhoods that would be [20:10] very upsetting to me a kind of [20:11] close to that I don't live [20:12] that close, but I'm still very [20:14] upset about furthermore more. [20:17] For the morning. Our region [20:19] cannot handle the resource [20:19] train. [20:22] We cannot sacrifice our [20:25] drinking water supply and [20:28] great stability or power grid [20:28] stability for an industry that [20:33] provides member term local [20:34] jobs.

[35:12] >> I'm sure there are lots of [35:13] gopher tortoises in area also [35:14] along with multiple other [35:15] wildlife, the constant hum of [35:16] the center and the running of [35:16] multiple generators is [35:19] deafening noise pollution has [35:20] there been any long-term [35:22] studies of the noise and light [35:22] effects in the virginia and [35:24] ohio got center's already up [35:25] and running what about water [35:28] and air pollution stumbles.

There needs to [35:48] be tighter regulations to [35:49] prohibit the multiple problems [35:51] that are inherent to a data [35:53] center I'm sure wants to push [35:54] for a or so they can reap the [35:58] benefits of second downtown's [35:59] of electricity. It's there [36:00] needs to be protections for [36:00] all of us not just for bay [36:04] energy and developers. Please [36:05] do your homework and reach out [36:06] to the cities that have [36:07] successfully lot guys that are [36:07] so you can follow suit our [36:08] city and its residents to [36:14] pounce on you. Greg holder. [36:16] There are measures later today [36:18] I want just 3 specific issues [36:20] disastrous uldc rewrite the [36:20] administrative approval [36:22] process that stripped away [36:23] meaningful or science city [36:24] staff entering into [36:24] non-disclosure agreements [36:25] without the knowledge or [36:28] consent of this commission. Of [36:29] those issues when they come [36:31] before you but they're not [36:33] isolated problems together [36:35] they reveal pattern [36:35] diminishing transparency [36:36] living oversight and avoiding [36:37] accountability accountability [36:39] starts at the top. The [36:39] fingerprints of the city [36:40] manager and director [36:41] development services are on [36:43] each of these issues through [36:45] their direct decisions [36:47] delegated authority or staff [36:47] under their direction and they [36:48] have helped put the city and [36:49] its residents in the position [36:51] we are now trying to correct [36:52] at some point accountability [36:53] has to mean something we [36:54] cannot keep reversing bad [36:55] decisions rewriting policies [36:57] and fixing broken processes. [36:58] But unlike the leadership's [37:01] responsible for them. I have [37:04] that the city manager and the [37:04] director of development [37:05] services I'm asking this [37:07] commission to terminate both [37:08] immediately for cost that's [37:08] supported by established back [37:11] city policy of our contract.

Accountability [37:15] later today we can debate each [37:15] each train right now I'm [37:19] asking you to look at the [37:20] first there are 3 separate [37:22] failures, these are symptoms [37:24] of the leadership politics and [37:24] the policies without [37:25] addressing the leadership [37:26] created them is not [37:33] accountability its cleanup.

The commissioners [39:58] MISTER Kutcher seem to be [40:00] letting city staff who have [40:00] not been elected make all the [40:01] decisions for a statement was [40:05] even made so that.

[51:07] Commissioner better. [51:09] Commissioner floor is yours [51:12] for discussion. [51:12] >> I just was is discussed the [51:17] sighting. To find out more [51:21] details about specific request [51:27] questions are. Every call. [51:32] From the the cycle 2526 fiscal [51:37] year. Quest for high water [51:38] vehicle it [51:44] we didn't approve that amount [51:45] when I [51:48] saw I just want to find out. [51:56] What to with and was found [51:57] most purchased or was it [51:58] something so just more [52:00] clarification if you so if you [52:10] can. If the staff can address [52:13] >> orange county's fire chief [52:14] or for cheap really talk to [52:14] the details. But yes that was [52:17] funded this is separate [52:18] vehicle. So we've been working [52:18] with france [52:23] JULY 2. [52:26] >> curly deputy fire chief [52:28] high water vehicle that's in [52:30] this year's budget was ordered [52:31] its not do until the [52:32] >> latter end of 2027 that's [52:36] when it will arrive. We also [52:38] sought out for a second high [52:40] water vehicle which we saw [52:42] grant which was partially [52:43] funding the high water vehicle [52:44] to cvg worker financing grants [52:49] on that that's what fy 20 [52:50] seven's budget. This agenda [52:51] item is authorization to use [52:53] the piggy back to purchase set [52:57] vehicle. [52:57] >> for him use those grant [53:02] money use it that's just I'm [53:03] sorry to hear if we don't use [53:05] amount that has been approved [53:12] by a grant. We use money what [53:14] would to put together specific [53:15] second turnover the grants but [53:16] we have a signed agreement [53:16] that came to commission a [53:18] earlier in the year. [53:23] >> for the approval for this [53:24] grant. So we're moving forward [53:27] with that process and would be [53:29] I'm the next fiscal year. But [53:35] if we do not. Prove this [53:36] pathway for the purchase of [53:37] that vehicle that yes there [53:41] would be a loss of grant [53:41] funding. [53:44] >> you we have in the city. [53:46] >> so we've been dual purpose [53:48] saying our brush trucks for [53:49] also for high water vehicles [53:52] these would be the first to of [53:53] these kind of this kind so [53:56] we're replacing one that we've [53:57] been borrowing that vehicle [53:58] through florida forest [53:59] service. But we had a lot of [54:03] mechanical issues with it. The [54:04] other one that we're [54:05] purchasing is new so we would [54:06] essentially we would end up [54:08] with 3 of you. [54:13] >> from what I understand [54:14] police department has its own [54:17] or no public works they have [54:18] similar. [54:19] >> I can't speak to what the [54:20] police department asked for [54:23] high water vehicles, but when [54:24] an event happens the fire [54:25] department takes over [54:27] operational control of all [54:29] high water rescue vehicle [54:31] operations whether it be for [54:32] evacuations or but I can speak [54:36] to the vehicles that we have. [54:37] >> so in the city we do know [54:39] we do not know how many high [54:41] water because we I know the [54:43] fire department has 3 I [54:43] believe that police department [54:45] has sought they have their [54:48] bear cat and I can deputy [54:50] rouse speak to assets that [54:52] they use for access to flooded [54:54] areas for law enforcement [54:55] protections, but for fire we'd [55:01] be looking to have 3. Scott [55:01] from district make an [55:06] important clarification so. As [55:08] chief hurley said in the past [55:08] we've used to brush trucks [55:09] that we get from forestry, we [55:11] use them to access high water [55:12] areas. They're not designed or [55:15] built for that so we've done [55:18] that because it wasn't in the [55:20] sesame but I can tell it [55:22] causes a tremendous amount of [55:22] damage water intrusion into [55:23] the actions and to out lots [55:26] and lots of problems. Often [55:26] times we've had breakdowns [55:30] partially part way through an [55:31] event and pretty significant [55:32] repairs. Afterwards on because [55:34] that are very difficult to get [55:36] parts for the vehicles that [55:36] were getting when we purchase [55:39] last year and couldn't grant [55:41] for their specifically [55:42] designed and purpose to be [55:44] high water vehicles so the [55:45] actions are water fjord cats [55:46] they're they're designed for [55:49] this purpose. Fire rescue's [55:52] purpose and mission is for [55:54] rescue that's what we police [55:56] department has high water [55:56] vehicles for certain things [55:59] but that is to get out out to [56:00] areas that are flooded, they [56:01] can do what their job which [56:01] dropped the primary purposes [56:02] is not rescue same month. Any [56:05] other department that has high [56:08] water vehicle particularly [56:10] purpose for them access areas [56:11] perform their duties if those [56:12] vehicles are available during [56:15] storm or event. And we can [56:15] borrow them and put them under [56:16] our mission as part of our [56:18] rescue do that. Different [56:21] apartments have them because [56:22] utilities still needs to [56:25] access areas that are our [56:26] flood to get to areas. The [56:26] police department still needs [56:29] to access areas well and make [56:30] sure that people are breaking [56:31] into houses and flooded areas [56:41] or to helps clear. [56:42] >> warren commission deputy [56:43] chief morales that he answered [56:44] questions, currently right now [56:47] the police only has one which [56:48] is the bearcat which has its [56:50] limitations that can only try [56:52] to rub traversed about 4 feet [56:54] of water with the startling it [56:55] has its limitations but we did [56:56] have in this budget coming in [57:00] here. We did. I will high [57:02] water vehicle that we're [57:02] seeking for through a law [57:05] enforcement impact fees. [57:12] >> public [57:13] >> speak our structure we have [57:13] high water vehicle that we use [57:14] for recovery of like the [57:19] calls. Worst that either [57:19] deployed and get stranded or [57:20] get stranded for some other [57:30] reason. [57:31] >> coming the end, but you [57:34] know we as a city this entire [57:39] organization we have to be you [57:44] know embrace that concept [57:47] sharing the resources do so. [57:49] Guess this purchase [57:50] specifically because it was. [57:56] To grants and thank you. Think [58:03] that department for division. [58:04] Thank there's nobody else so [58:14] look for a motion. I move to [58:16] the utilization of so spread [58:18] of contract number 0, 3, 2, 8, [58:23] 2, 4, dash c e r with [58:24] certified staying less service [58:28] dba was smart for the one-time [58:30] purchase. A high water rescue [58:36] vehicle and fiscal year 2027. [58:36] Utilizing sarasota county [58:40] community development block [58:40] grant funding. In an amount [58:49] not to exceed $478,000 $823 [58:50] motion on the floor made by [58:52] vice mayor seconded by [58:53] commissioner [58:58] >> there's nothing to vote. [59:02] Old too [59:11] public hearings. This is a [59:11] digitial and I request a [59:12] motion to direct the city [59:16] clerk to read by title so [59:17] floor made by commissioner [59:19] stow seconded by vice mayor [59:26] there's nothing to bo.

The nexus of this [1:01:25] request actually came out the [1:01:26] ppp amendment will be the next [1:01:30] slide item village e. Point a [1:01:30] couple years or you may [1:01:34] remember that estimates [1:01:35] requested that they be [1:01:36] included in our village ev dpp [1:01:40] because they are. [1:01:41] >> 28 acre site was not big [1:01:41] enough to qualify for of the [1:01:45] tpp. What we realized working [1:01:48] through those nuances with [1:01:49] each since a semi just happen [1:01:52] clean a governmental agency. [1:01:54] They would basically be exempt [1:01:57] from certain signs like [1:02:00] lesions so the nexus of [1:02:01] changes actually a g 8 has [1:02:05] already built emergency says [1:02:05] all room in well-lit parking [1:02:08] and bought 30 acres to build [1:02:09] hospital. So there's a [1:02:10] potential down the road for 2 [1:02:12] hospitals be a mile apart with [1:02:16] 2 different signage standard. [1:02:16] So we started the process and [1:02:18] was agreed upon point to [1:02:21] update to the dpp so both [1:02:23] hospitals would operate the [1:02:24] same. Under the same [1:02:28] guidelines.

I'm here to [1:03:56] present an amendment to the [1:03:57] village village district [1:04:00] pattern plan. I'm here to [1:04:05] applicants on the this is a [1:04:06] two-part application [1:04:07] consisting of a village [1:04:08] district pattern plan [1:04:09] amendment and a uldc text [1:04:14] amendment. Is located within [1:04:15] baldwin park within the [1:04:18] southwest quadrant of us 41 [1:04:20] and west villages parkway and [1:04:25] it's approximately 595 a [1:04:27] little bit of background, the [1:04:30] ppp was originally adopted in [1:04:32] SEPTEMBER of 2017 since not [1:04:34] adoption. It's been amended [1:04:37] twice first and MAY of [1:04:37] recommendations for mobile [1:04:38] food dispensing vehicles and [1:04:42] commercial floating docks and [1:04:43] modifying people for the [1:04:44] second amendment was in APRIL [1:04:48] of 2023 to revise minimum [1:04:48] parking standards to include a [1:04:50] provision to modify parking [1:04:53] standards on a case-by-case [1:04:54] basis and to provide parking [1:04:55] standards not otherwise [1:05:00] specified. A component of this [1:05:02] amendment is updating language [1:05:05] with section 4013003.1 of the [1:05:08] pattern plan. The existing [1:05:10] language related to science [1:05:11] standards and review criteria [1:05:12] is being changed to science [1:05:17] standards and review shown on [1:05:18] this slide the updated from [1:05:19] which treats not all sides [1:05:22] must comply with standards [1:05:22] established in the uldc and be [1:05:23] approved by the restaurant [1:05:24] just review committee. Prior [1:05:29] to city review. As it relates [1:05:30] the building was signed to the [1:05:32] practice has been updated all [1:05:35] building wall sine shall [1:05:36] comply with chapter 5 of the [1:05:38] uldc and the advent of any [1:05:39] conflicts between the pot plan [1:05:40] and the uldc the uldc standard [1:05:45] shall prevail. Another [1:05:49] amendment to section relates [1:05:53] to signage design and [1:05:53] installation standards shown [1:05:56] on this slide, this section is [1:05:57] proposed to be removed from [1:05:57] the pattern plan and instead [1:06:00] refers to maintaining [1:06:01] compliance section 13 of [1:06:04] district pot and vote the [1:06:06] existing language on the part [1:06:08] of plan is similar to the [1:06:09] standards within the pattern [1:06:12] about this amendment would [1:06:13] reduce redundancy and offering [1:06:14] more consistent review process [1:06:17] for staff. And it looks like [1:06:18] my computers and comment [1:06:19] during a level ended [1:06:24] statement. [1:06:26] >> yeah, I think it took [1:06:30] control of want share now.

I'm just going to [1:07:26] keep [1:07:29] >> lastly we're also adding [1:07:30] the definition for public [1:07:31] institutional uses and civic [1:07:32] spaces into this pattern plan [1:07:36] to provide consistency across [1:07:37] all dpp's as john previously [1:07:41] stated definition it's already [1:07:41] included in pryor a potted [1:07:42] plants are adding get into [1:07:45] this one as well. The second [1:07:48] part of the amendment is the [1:07:48] uldc parks amendment and the [1:07:51] purpose is to c between the [1:07:56] pollen plan and the uldc. As [1:07:58] shown on this site section [1:07:59] 3005.2 of the code is being [1:07:59] amended to match the language [1:08:04] within the pattern on [1:08:05] amendment is necessary to make [1:08:05] consistency between the [1:08:06] pattern plan for village d and [1:08:10] the uldc. There numerous [1:08:13] benefits to this amendment, [1:08:14] including simplifying staff [1:08:18] review up signs up for village [1:08:19] and serves the public interest [1:08:20] and support access to [1:08:22] essential services such as [1:08:24] medical facilities provides [1:08:24] consistency between the power [1:08:28] plant and the uldc it causes [1:08:29] no harm to adjacent properties [1:08:32] road networks are emergency [1:08:33] access. And it maintains [1:08:34] architectural compatibility [1:08:35] through the restaurant just [1:08:38] review committee review. With [1:08:38] that we ask for your approval. [1:08:44] Thank you.

Also to [1:11:50] establish legal nonconforming [1:11:50] status for all signage legally [1:11:54] permitted or installed before [1:11:56] the ordinance is effective day [1:11:58] and what does that mean so [1:12:00] once the ordinance becomes [1:12:02] effective any new signage will [1:12:03] have to comply with the [1:12:04] chapter 5 of the unified land [1:12:08] development code for signage. [1:12:10] A pivot use be a provision has [1:12:12] been placed in for signs that [1:12:15] have been legally permitted [1:12:16] legally installed that they [1:12:17] can continue without creating [1:12:19] any issues for any of the [1:12:24] owners to come into compliance [1:12:25] also in evaluating that we [1:12:26] wanted to have that provision [1:12:31] just in case. Any of the signs [1:12:32] now our chapter 5 in the [1:12:36] unified land development code [1:12:39] is more flexible than the [1:12:39] provisions that they currently [1:12:40] have in the village dvd pp [1:12:44] they're very restrictive and [1:12:45] what they did and also this [1:12:49] would bring a consistency. For [1:12:51] all signage. In addition we [1:12:53] will have to amend section [1:12:57] 4003.1 of the uldc to [1:12:58] reference the village g [1:12:59] village district pattern plan [1:13:01] so our current uldc has a [1:13:03] listing of all of the villages [1:13:04] the history and all of the [1:13:08] ordinances so. When wendy if [1:13:10] this is approved by the city [1:13:12] commission and that will [1:13:13] automatically update unified [1:13:18] land development code. So it [1:13:20] was previously stated there is [1:13:25] a long approval regarding this [1:13:28] particular village. So 2017 [1:13:29] SEPTEMBER 26, the original [1:13:33] villages town centered village [1:13:36] was approved in 2021 there [1:13:38] were the provisions to ask for [1:13:41] food trucks to regulate mobile [1:13:43] food, commercial docks [1:13:45] landscape buffers we did not [1:13:48] have any provisions of code at [1:13:50] that time to allow for those [1:13:52] mobile food vendors or for a [1:13:57] commercial law. APRIL 2520 23. [1:13:59] Another man that was bought to [1:14:00] commission to adjust parking [1:14:02] standards on a case-by-case [1:14:03] basis. So I'd like to explain [1:14:06] that a little bit our current [1:14:08] unified land development if [1:14:10] there is a for parking that's [1:14:15] not explicitly stated how many [1:14:17] parking spaces. Up they can [1:14:18] administrative approval by a [1:14:21] transportation expert showing. [1:14:25] But if there's needs to be a [1:14:25] reduction or increase in [1:14:26] parking it has to be [1:14:26] justified. There has to be [1:14:30] data that supports that so [1:14:32] this is very similar to that [1:14:34] this is not we're not changing [1:14:35] that in plan it will continue [1:14:43] on. So the application details [1:14:44] the timeline this application [1:14:45] was submitted AUGUST 25th [1:14:50] 2025. And again to amend the [1:14:52] village d the tpp concerning [1:15:01] what I just explained. So site [1:15:02] informations to be a future [1:15:04] land use map is village of the [1:15:04] which is the village [1:15:06] designation as well as the [1:15:10] zoning the existing land uses [1:15:11] is a recreation and cultural [1:15:11] events and mixed use [1:15:15] comprising of commercial [1:15:17] multi. Family development also [1:15:26] a hotel on the site here. This [1:15:30] has undergone multi department [1:15:31] review with in every area of [1:15:33] with the development review [1:15:35] committee. So a lot of the [1:15:36] staff with you because this is [1:15:40] not related to changing of any [1:15:43] land use or construction [1:15:44] element it simply adopting and [1:15:47] incorporating our signage so [1:15:50] there were no for parks and [1:15:53] rec and then there were no [1:15:54] responses there's no response [1:15:54] is it meant that the reviewer [1:15:58] had no comments or concerns, [1:15:59] especially for storm water [1:16:01] they had no response there is [1:16:02] no changes to storm water with [1:16:03] this amendment or any thing [1:16:06] like as I previously stated [1:16:06] regarding development of the [1:16:13] site. So in order to evaluate [1:16:13] things we have to make sure [1:16:14] this complies with consistency [1:16:17] with our city our [1:16:17] comprehensive plan. Also the [1:16:22] unified land development code. [1:16:23] So the proposed amendment does [1:16:24] align with the comprehensive [1:16:26] plan, the future land use go [1:16:29] by creating consistent unified [1:16:31] science standards that will [1:16:32] minimize visual blight safety [1:16:35] hazards in regulatory [1:16:36] conflict. Furthermore the [1:16:40] amenity hears policy 5.1 [1:16:42] subsection f by updating [1:16:44] village g sign regulations to [1:16:46] meet citywide standards while [1:16:47] protecting existing businesses [1:16:48] through a deemed compliance [1:16:53] mechanism permitted [1:16:54] non-residential while signage [1:16:55] and I do want to emphasize [1:16:56] that end it is only the flick [1:17:03] to all signage. Legal review [1:17:06] in the business impact [1:17:08] statement ordinance 2026 dash [1:17:10] 22 which is a company in your [1:17:12] packet with all the has been [1:17:14] reviewed and approved by the [1:17:14] city attorney's office and is [1:17:18] legally correct asked to form [1:17:20] pursuant to florida statute [1:17:24] section 1, 6, 6.0 4 one [1:17:26] foresee a business impact [1:17:27] statement was not required [1:17:27] because ordinance is enacted [1:17:32] to implement the comprehensive [1:17:32] plan amendment. [1:17:33] >> in the land development [1:17:35] regulations initiated by [1:17:36] applicant I private party at [1:17:41] holiday. Statutory compliance [1:17:46] in concurrence uldc [1:17:46] amendments. [1:17:47] >> so the current uldc if [1:17:48] you're doing master concept [1:17:53] plan. [1:17:53] >> it is it is there's a [1:17:55] little bit of a difference in [1:17:56] how process that's process by [1:17:57] resolution it also comes [1:18:00] before the commission. However [1:18:02] we do not have an [1:18:03] administrative a mechanism for [1:18:05] this because it was the [1:18:07] pattern plan adopted by [1:18:07] ordinance so we're amending it [1:18:12] as a master concept plan [1:18:12] amendment. However, ordinances [1:18:15] or resolutions cannot [1:18:18] ordinance so the original [1:18:18] approval in subsequent [1:18:19] approvals were by ordinance [1:18:20] that's why this is presented [1:18:23] to commission by ordinance. In [1:18:24] addition to the ordinance is a [1:18:27] dual purpose vehicle, not only [1:18:30] does it and then the pattern [1:18:30] plan it also amends the [1:18:31] unified land development code [1:18:34] section to incorporate by [1:18:38] reference this pattern plan. [1:18:38] Noticing public notice [1:18:42] requirements were met they [1:18:44] have to follow the florida [1:18:48] statutes section 1, 6, 6.0 4, [1:18:51] 1, 3 and section 7.0 1 c [1:18:51] of north port city charter [1:18:55] needing ordinances highest. [1:18:57] >> 10 days prior to adoption [1:18:59] and also notices were mailed [1:19:01] to the owner the property [1:19:02] owners within the 1320 feet [1:19:09] buffer radius as required. [1:19:09] This item was presented before [1:19:11] the planning and zoning [1:19:16] advisory board 7/16/2020 [1:19:16] cents. The board voted 5, 0 [1:19:20] unanimously to approve these [1:19:22] amendments. So staff based on [1:19:23] the information provided is on [1:19:27] asking the commission to [1:19:28] consider and moving the item [1:19:34] to second meeting, thank you. [1:19:40] >> thank rebuttal applicant. [1:19:46] There's no staff. [1:19:46] >> thank staff has no [1:19:49] rebuttal, thank you thank you. [1:19:53] >> city public that. [1:19:54] >> commission questions [1:19:58] discussions [1:19:58] >> commissioner thank you [1:20:02] mayor. [1:20:07] >> and this is just 2. Oh I [1:20:09] think or signage matches and [1:20:11] par with the rest of are [1:20:17] citing or c. Well I questions [1:20:22] causes. One of the last ones [1:20:26] to preserve them. So that you [1:20:30] only see you met in 2. 2 of [1:20:34] are we addressing that. [1:20:35] >> so how that was stated in a [1:20:39] perhaps again explain it so [1:20:40] our old unified land [1:20:41] development code when the [1:20:42] pattern plans were not to have [1:20:46] specific outline for the [1:20:47] pattern plan. We do not have [1:20:49] new plans and a unified land [1:20:50] development code any new [1:20:53] village district is created by [1:20:57] a master concept plan. It's [1:20:58] the same premises but tricky [1:21:00] part that we had with this is [1:21:01] because it's adopted by [1:21:04] ordinance we have to follow [1:21:06] the ordinance and at least the [1:21:08] noticing requirements does [1:21:08] that answer your question I [1:21:11] hope. [1:21:16] >> well I'm getting at is. [1:21:17] >> so we've into this in the [1:21:21] future we have plans amend our [1:21:24] uldc it wouldn't be necessary [1:21:25] to do so so the what I mean [1:21:27] that the unified land [1:21:28] development code does not have [1:21:29] the mechanism it doesn't have [1:21:30] mechanism that the old uldc [1:21:34] had to amend plans. So what we [1:21:36] are doing is we're calling him [1:21:39] master concept plan, it's the [1:21:40] same and it's the approval is [1:21:45] following the same as it was. [1:21:47] >> so in the future when get a [1:21:48] new village you would not have [1:21:51] the pattern plan. [1:21:52] >> she would not be creating a [1:21:54] pattern plan like you had [1:21:56] field coach. It would be a [1:21:57] master concept plan and it [1:22:00] would be called village and it [1:22:03] would follow that process by [1:22:04] resolution okay. Thank you for [1:22:07] them, the other [1:22:08] >> on slide state of the [1:22:12] senate bill. This establishes [1:22:15] non-compliance us. Signage [1:22:21] that. Was there before the [1:22:28] stewardess went into effect. [1:22:30] >> so mean what's the not [1:22:30] apply school site will be [1:22:34] changed to meet the cold so. [1:22:34] >> the provision that we put [1:22:39] in to have that standards for [1:22:39] compliance. If they didn't [1:22:40] have a permit application and [1:22:43] house at time when this was [1:22:47] adopted it would still be [1:22:48] deemed compliant. So the [1:22:49] provision would be [1:22:54] >> and also for the legal [1:22:55] nonconforming status. We [1:22:58] wanted to incorporate also any [1:22:59] signs that are not legally [1:23:04] compliant not conforming after [1:23:04] the day then they would have [1:23:05] to follow the provisions of [1:23:06] the unified land development [1:23:07] code for non conformance we [1:23:11] wanted to put that in there [1:23:13] because we did not want to [1:23:15] have signs that are already [1:23:18] through the process bd [1:23:19] noncompliance then they would [1:23:21] have to as you said bring it [1:23:22] in to conformance and that's [1:23:23] what that provision is not [1:23:25] would be included. [1:23:31] >> thank you very well, so [1:23:34] >> thank you vice MISTER Mayor [1:23:35] I have a quick question from [1:23:39] missile so so that I [1:23:45] understand sarasota memorial [1:23:51] hospital. At while in park [1:23:54] will operate under the same [1:23:55] sign sarasota memorial [1:23:59] hospital on sumpter and that [1:23:59] will be a specified in our [1:24:04] uldc is that correct. [1:24:05] >> so the sarasota memorial [1:24:05] hospital is not related to [1:24:09] village g it's actually we can [1:24:11] discuss it with the village e [1:24:12] that's incorporated the [1:24:15] sarasota memorial hospital [1:24:17] pace. So those regulations in [1:24:19] their for their signs for [1:24:20] institutional are in there. So [1:24:25] the sarasota memorial hospital [1:24:27] on a sumpter they went through [1:24:29] development master plan [1:24:30] process here with the [1:24:31] commission and part of that [1:24:32] the commission approved [1:24:35] waivers for their signage [1:24:37] because it is an institutional [1:24:38] use to be did not have [1:24:40] anything in our uldc at that [1:24:41] time so that will be their [1:24:45] governing document, okay. [1:24:46] >> and then what is [1:24:47] implication for hca when they [1:24:51] build their hospital. [1:24:52] >> so with this if age to able [1:24:56] to adhere with the signage [1:24:58] following the uldc we have the [1:25:02] for that it would be included. [1:25:05] There are more signage allowed [1:25:09] also if it's defined as an [1:25:10] institutional use government [1:25:11] I'm not sure what that [1:25:13] designation would they're [1:25:15] exempt from the signage so I [1:25:15] can't evaluate at that time I [1:25:18] know that following what their [1:25:22] uldc the new current does have [1:25:25] more on mount signage allowed. [1:25:26] >> and what the okay, thank [1:25:32] you're very welcome. [1:25:35] >> yes it thank you all [1:25:37] commissioner stowers very [1:25:38] briefly basically the idea was [1:25:41] to create a compatibility so [1:25:46] that west that's age hca built [1:25:47] little ys in this village [1:25:47] bayside is needs to be [1:25:48] consistent that's the whole I [1:25:54] it. Pretty much. It says yes. [1:25:58] But it is. [1:26:00] >> sure you just explain that [1:26:01] does not preclude either [1:26:05] estimation village age will of [1:26:09] h and built up that are coming [1:26:11] in asking for a way fix but [1:26:13] right now we've now set the [1:26:19] ground. The baseline same [1:26:22] >> all [1:26:28] >> okay go thank you. MISTER [1:26:30] Brzezinski remember when we [1:26:31] just asked this issue quite a [1:26:38] while. There was a [1:26:39] disagreement between. The dpp [1:26:43] and sarasota memorial. At [1:26:45] wellen park regarding their [1:26:48] signs. At the direction of the [1:26:49] commission at that point in [1:26:56] time. Was to request that w [1:26:58] damien dpp in sarasota [1:27:00] memorial with the help of [1:27:03] staff. Reconcile their [1:27:07] differences regarding signage. [1:27:08] Am I understanding correctly [1:27:13] that these changes. Address [1:27:13] that to spew are is there work [1:27:17] to be [1:27:18] >> no there's no more work to [1:27:20] be that was all team, a lift [1:27:20] more than signage if you [1:27:27] remember. 8, 1, to be part of [1:27:31] the you know village evp. But [1:27:34] they did not want to. Maker [1:27:39] the architecture standards [1:27:39] more proven well in part said [1:27:42] no we're not going to do what [1:27:47] we we agree. Memorial was [1:27:48] without some since series of [1:27:52] design guidelines. Is that you [1:27:53] know we basically said if you [1:27:53] build this the venice hospital [1:27:57] we would approve it right but [1:27:59] they're like we don't know [1:28:00] what technological changes are [1:28:02] going to occur that affect the [1:28:03] look of the so we built some [1:28:04] design guidelines that we both [1:28:08] can live with. As you know we [1:28:12] take a look landscaping very [1:28:15] seriously but we worked that [1:28:16] out prior to securing approval [1:28:17] for that peace will roughly 2 [1:28:19] years ago.

Commissioner have [1:31:35] trouble not accept the and [1:31:36] just everything when we [1:31:37] discussed vice mayor and then [1:31:48] for me for me. Presentation [1:31:48] applicant john was key senior [1:31:49] vice PRESIDENT And I have been [1:31:51] sworn. [1:32:00] >> the p the amendment. To [1:32:01] basically the nexus of this [1:32:04] was to adding 60 acres across [1:32:04] clay moore from the koch at a [1:32:09] park. Maybe we call can I [1:32:12] think it was 2017. So there's [1:32:13] a school district purchased [1:32:16] this property from for the k [1:32:21] through 8 facility. Shortly [1:32:23] thereafter. The atlanta braves [1:32:24] decided located and put a [1:32:26] stadium across the street. [1:32:29] 2019 when I got here working [1:32:32] with the school district did [1:32:33] determine probably not the [1:32:35] best location for k through 8. [1:32:35] School across from the [1:32:40] stadium. That's what led to [1:32:41] the school district's [1:32:42] acquisition of a 130 acres [1:32:48] from our entities for what the [1:32:49] new high school and they have [1:32:50] room and 130 acre parcel for [1:32:52] future k through as part of [1:32:53] the transaction. We re [1:32:56] purchase at the market rate, [1:33:00] 60 acres from schools. It [1:33:03] would be intent was always put [1:33:05] it back into one of our the [1:33:07] dpp's it seemed to make the [1:33:07] most sense to included with [1:33:10] village ev which continuous [1:33:13] with that parcel. We actually [1:33:15] started this process actually [1:33:22] before h. Came so this is kind [1:33:23] of going through a life cycle [1:33:23] that's own adjusting and [1:33:25] adapting to. The market [1:33:26] conditions and what's [1:33:31] occurred. So as there's only 2 [1:33:32] properties in village even are [1:33:37] not at all. It is age partial [1:33:38] and we have a 9 acre parcel [1:33:40] along river road. It will be [1:33:42] north the plate gets north to [1:33:43] play more. When play more gets [1:33:45] expanded our extended here in [1:33:48] the next 6 to 9 months and [1:33:49] that piece we already have [1:33:54] sold for commercial use. What [1:33:56] we amend led the 60 acres into [1:34:00] the village so with that again [1:34:02] I'm going to turn over whiskey [1:34:07] stand who get hearing of the [1:34:09] water people appeal to prepare [1:34:09] this document to updated to [1:34:10] meet with you all the state [1:34:11] standards that have.

I'm [1:34:46] here to present the amendment [1:34:46] to the village g village [1:34:51] district pattern plan. Is a [1:34:51] one part application [1:34:52] consisting of a pattern plan [1:34:56] amendment. She is located [1:34:58] within rahm heart and the [1:34:59] southeast quadrant of camille [1:34:59] and trail and west villages [1:35:04] parkway. It was originally [1:35:06] adopted in JULY of 2019 and [1:35:09] has 101 time since adoption. [1:35:12] It was amended in AUGUST of [1:35:15] 2024 to incorporate the 20 [1:35:16] acre sarasota memorial [1:35:17] hospital parcel into village [1:35:18] yvonne tree and establish site [1:35:19] development regulations for [1:35:24] the hospital site. The purpose [1:35:26] dpp amendment is to add [1:35:26] approximately 60 acres of land [1:35:30] to village g and land use as [1:35:31] update language to reflect it [1:35:34] was in conditions and update [1:35:34] off 8 years and emotional [1:35:39] criteria for this slide shows [1:35:39] the existing and proposed [1:35:40] boundaries of the village e. [1:35:47] Proposing to expand from 334 [1:35:50] cases to 415 acres. I'm not 60 [1:35:51] acres is located right here [1:35:55] with the red circle and also [1:35:57] due to the realignment play [1:35:57] more rober adding [1:35:58] approximately 21 acres [1:35:58] stability [1:36:01] as well. For a grand total of [1:36:08] 415 acres. We're also amending [1:36:09] land use we are decreasing the [1:36:10] overall residential units from [1:36:15] 1000 units of 900 and we're [1:36:16] increasing nonresidential [1:36:18] square feet from 400,000 [1:36:21] square feet to 550,000 square [1:36:22] feet. And this is for village [1:36:25] e as a whole the 60 acre [1:36:28] parcel. Its plan for mixed use [1:36:28] development with multifamily [1:36:33] and nonresidential uses. We [1:36:36] are proposing a revision to [1:36:38] section 9003.4 non-residential [1:36:39] signage to be reviewed for [1:36:41] compliance with chapter 5 of [1:36:45] the uldc very similar to the [1:36:46] previous amendment for [1:36:48] non-residential parking they [1:36:51] must comply with the uldc [1:36:52] article time almost otherwise [1:36:52] specified and the pattern plan [1:36:56] or the pattern some additional [1:36:59] minor amendments that we've [1:37:00] included. Include the 60 acre [1:37:05] former school parcel adding 21 [1:37:07] acres from the realignment [1:37:08] clay morrow road and updating [1:37:09] outdated language throughout [1:37:10] the pattern plan based on [1:37:13] current conditions. There are [1:37:16] benefits this amendment, [1:37:16] including simplifying staff [1:37:19] review for science and parking [1:37:20] standards provides additional [1:37:23] nonresidential uses part and [1:37:26] update outdated language with [1:37:27] and the pattern plan that is [1:37:27] no longer put the ball as many [1:37:30] of the conditions have [1:37:31] changed. But that we kindly [1:37:32] request or we ask for your [1:37:32] personal. Thank you. Thank [1:37:47] you. [1:37:55] >> I he could put on the [1:37:56] screen please the morning [1:37:57] again commissioners for the [1:37:59] record sure we will let [1:38:00] brandon planner 3 planning [1:38:05] zoning division and I have [1:38:07] been sworn. Is the village g [1:38:08] village district pattern plan [1:38:09] amendment and titian number [1:38:19] can 24 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 8, 3 [1:38:20] on formally the pa dash 24 [1:38:25] dash 0, 8, the ordinance 20's, [1:38:26] 2623 and why the difference in [1:38:29] the numbers is this was [1:38:31] submitted under our old now [1:38:32] the line system under the old [1:38:33] you know unified land [1:38:37] development code in the [1:38:37] comprehensive plan. [1:38:38] >> so this was a transition [1:38:39] record in this is the new [1:38:39] record number in our solar [1:38:46] it's to provide clarification. [1:38:48] So the owner is the manasota [1:38:53] key p it is located at the [1:38:53] northeast corner of play more [1:38:57] road in west villages parkway [1:38:58] the property size is [1:39:02] approximately 415 acres [1:39:05] virtual village includes the [1:39:06] 60 acre expansion area and the [1:39:07] 21 acre planned more road [1:39:12] alignment. The boundary [1:39:13] expansion is to integrate [1:39:14] those 60 acres that were [1:39:18] formerly owned by the school [1:39:19] property into the site and the [1:39:22] 21 acre roadway was the play [1:39:25] more realignment that approved [1:39:26] by an infrastructure plan [1:39:27] amendment for the alignment [1:39:30] it's just putting it in here [1:39:32] that way it showing on here [1:39:33] where that alignment is so we [1:39:33] have count for that additional [1:39:38] acreage. Also there's some [1:39:39] entitlement adjustments. It's [1:39:40] been a modify land use [1:39:41] entitlements and amends the [1:39:44] uldc to reference the updated [1:39:48] plan in as you heard at the [1:39:48] previous item that we're going [1:39:51] have the established standards [1:39:53] for the dean compliance in the [1:39:53] legal nonconforming status [1:39:54] prior to the effective date of [1:40:03] the since its annexation in [1:40:05] 2026 years ago. This pattern [1:40:05] plan has undergone the [1:40:11] following regulations so. In [1:40:13] 2019 ordinance 2019 25 and [1:40:14] established the original [1:40:16] village district pattern plan [1:40:16] for e as you can see on the [1:40:21] side of the screen. Here is [1:40:23] the area up in the blue at the [1:40:25] top it's the sarasota memorial [1:40:26] hospital case that was brought [1:40:27] before this commission to add [1:40:33] to the boundary in 2024. The [1:40:33] keystone below and you 5 [1:40:37] stands for mixed use area 5. [1:40:41] This is where the school [1:40:41] property was located so that [1:40:48] is incorporated into that. So [1:40:49] yes really it's not really [1:40:50] adding an additional 81 acres [1:40:53] from somewhere it's really [1:40:56] just. Shifting everything that [1:40:57] was the school property here [1:40:58] so I just wanted to make sure [1:41:01] that that was this was [1:41:03] submitted MAY 10th 2024. So [1:41:05] this is covered this amendment [1:41:08] is governed by the 2022 uldc [1:41:11] and the 2020 17 comprehensive [1:41:13] plan. I just want stay here [1:41:14] that there's voluntary [1:41:16] compliance, the applicant for [1:41:18] the 20, 24 unified land [1:41:20] development code updates, [1:41:20] which is likable to the [1:41:23] signage in the parking [1:41:26] regulations. So under the old [1:41:28] code commissioner duval said [1:41:30] with a new one there was a [1:41:31] specific provisions in the old [1:41:33] uldc to amend so we are [1:41:37] following those standards. In [1:41:44] addition, net increase of a [1:41:47] 150,000 non residential spaces [1:41:48] balance by 100 unit [1:41:48] residential reduction. What [1:41:52] does this mean the original [1:41:54] village district pattern plan [1:41:55] 800 title mets for up to [1:41:59] 400,000 square feet of [1:42:02] nonresidential and 1000 [1:42:02] dwelling units this will [1:42:04] reduce the dwelling units to [1:42:08] 900 and increase the [1:42:11] non-residential component by [1:42:12] 150,000 square feet. It's a [1:42:14] it's a small increments to [1:42:17] that because the was to go to [1:42:21] that 18% non-residential for [1:42:24] the city and I remember that [1:42:25] one of the commissioners had [1:42:26] asked for a previous item so [1:42:29] we're at currently about 16%. [1:42:35] In needing that 18% goal. In [1:42:37] addition, we included that [1:42:38] grandfather provision if you [1:42:41] will just for a simple [1:42:42] nomenclature for the team [1:42:43] compliance that legally [1:42:44] protect all current permitting [1:42:49] or pending signage and some [1:42:51] document cleanups is to do the [1:42:53] updates to the village pattern [1:42:55] plan to show this new parcel [1:42:57] in the new configurations with [1:42:59] all of the components the [1:43:00] transportation et cetera in [1:43:00] the pattern plan that goes [1:43:07] into more detail. So the the [1:43:07] future land use map [1:43:12] designation is village that is [1:43:14] adopted zoning map designation [1:43:17] is village so all of the [1:43:18] surrounding areas, there's [1:43:20] vacant the play more districts [1:43:23] where the cool today park it [1:43:24] is the river road corridor to [1:43:27] the east and then the state [1:43:28] college. A florida just to [1:43:33] give you a point of reference. [1:43:34] In addition, this was a multi [1:43:35] department review of the [1:43:38] village a power plant. So [1:43:41] there was no objection or no [1:43:43] response now the only [1:43:45] condition that they have its [1:43:46] not applicable to this point [1:43:48] it will be a clickable at the [1:43:50] time of the actual site and [1:43:51] development plans. And it was [1:43:54] by our former stormwater [1:43:55] engineer elizabeth wong when [1:43:55] she was employed with the city [1:43:59] at the time. She was very [1:44:01] specific and she said this [1:44:02] amendment is acceptable as [1:44:05] long as the amount of revised [1:44:07] impervious areas, judy does [1:44:09] not exceed the maximum [1:44:10] allowable amount in the [1:44:12] previously approved storm [1:44:14] water analysis so compliance [1:44:16] with these conditions is [1:44:18] required at the time the site [1:44:20] development and infrastructure [1:44:21] so at that time the site and [1:44:23] development and infrastructure [1:44:25] I just want to make it the [1:44:27] public to kind of understand [1:44:29] that will have to be reviewed [1:44:31] any changes to that storm [1:44:32] water to ensure that any [1:44:34] impacts are directed at that [1:44:35] time the scope of this [1:44:36] amendment does not include any [1:44:43] impacts to storm water. [1:44:44] Consistency with a [1:44:45] comprehensive plan future land [1:44:47] use goal character and [1:44:48] location of land uses and as [1:44:52] well as the economic benefit, [1:44:55] that's very important that is [1:44:56] something staff reviews at at [1:44:57] the time that the application [1:45:01] as is when it's brought in. [1:45:03] Growth in community access. So [1:45:05] the tax roll integration so [1:45:07] it's maximizing potential of [1:45:10] the 60 acre parcel acquired [1:45:11] from the school board in 2021 [1:45:13] when the school board owned [1:45:16] this property its exact from [1:45:18] any revenue generating they [1:45:19] are exempt from that suncor [1:45:20] parading this as a non [1:45:22] residential mixed use that [1:45:26] will generate additional. [1:45:30] Revenue also you also expand [1:45:32] community access to local [1:45:33] professional services, it's my [1:45:36] understanding they'll be some [1:45:38] retail. Medical incorporated [1:45:39] within component I don't have [1:45:42] any specifics at this point. [1:45:49] In addition it should help an [1:45:51] environment to attract those [1:45:51] industries within this little [1:45:55] pod this area and [1:45:57] infrastructure optimization I [1:45:58] do want to make this is a key [1:46:00] component because staff always [1:46:01] evaluate what is going to be [1:46:02] the impact to our [1:46:04] infrastructure water [1:46:06] wastewater cetera so is [1:46:09] utilizing the existing [1:46:11] infrastructure capacity is not [1:46:11] required city financing for [1:46:11] utility room any drainage [1:46:20] expansions. Future land use [1:46:24] goal one the character of has [1:46:27] touching upon the project a [1:46:28] school in economic impact so [1:46:30] the revenue is going to [1:46:32] increase from what the current [1:46:33] property tax revenue is based [1:46:36] on looking at county tax was [1:46:37] about when approximately [1:46:43] 26,366. To potentially [1:46:52] $62,150. 135.7% yield. I also [1:46:53] included my sources and I cite [1:46:56] my sources where gotten this [1:46:59] information so the job [1:47:01] creation based on the numbers [1:47:03] that I have it it should [1:47:05] generate a sustainable [1:47:07] workforce capacity estimated [1:47:10] at one job 300 to 500 square [1:47:11] feet now it's going to be [1:47:12] based on what that specific [1:47:14] use and I don't know the [1:47:14] specific use is at this time [1:47:18] this is very conservative in [1:47:20] nature I wanted to do with the [1:47:20] lower level just so we know [1:47:25] with the comparison. Where we [1:47:31] it should add about 16 point. [1:47:32] 5 million in residential value [1:47:34] to fund public safety and [1:47:34] infrastructure no added tax [1:47:40] burden residents. Entitlement [1:47:40] rebalancing reduces [1:47:41] residential title from a 1000 [1:47:45] to 900 units to minimize [1:47:45] long-term demand on municipal [1:47:49] residential services. So the [1:47:52] sources are also in very great [1:47:54] detail. I included within the [1:47:56] staff report with the sources [1:47:58] are so we had I looked at the [1:48:01] job projections calculated on [1:48:02] standard employment density [1:48:03] benchmarks recognized by the [1:48:06] urban land institute in the [1:48:09] U.S. Energy information [1:48:10] administration to us to make [1:48:13] the capacity based on [1:48:15] anticipated uses. So if we had [1:48:16] professional office of [1:48:17] approximately one job for 300 [1:48:21] square feet medical [1:48:22] institution. Well, it is about [1:48:25] one per 350 square feet and [1:48:27] retail is approximately one [1:48:28] percent about per 500 square [1:48:33] feet just to give you an idea. [1:48:34] For the sarasota county [1:48:36] property appraiser's [1:48:38] methodologies the 2026 [1:48:40] estimated square footage [1:48:42] evaluation for 150,000 square [1:48:43] foot nonresidential bill out [1:48:45] was determined by a comparable [1:48:48] building value of [1:48:50] 16 million 500 pounds was [1:48:50] alting ineffective cost of a [1:48:54] 110,000 per square feet. So [1:48:56] where did that come from it [1:48:57] was that estimated of a 110 [1:49:01] per square multiply it by the [1:49:02] 150,000 and it comes up with [1:49:07] that 6 million 500,000. So [1:49:09] here's here's the table with [1:49:11] the land use status, currently [1:49:12] vacant and this is roughly [1:49:14] this is based on our adopted [1:49:16] millage rate and this is the [1:49:20] approximate taxable annual [1:49:21] revenue propose next used [1:49:24] again at the 16 million 500 [1:49:26] attack today. It would be that [1:49:27] about so the net fiscal gain [1:49:30] is you're showing that it is. [1:49:33] Now this is the taxable value [1:49:34] and 9 million 500 thousand is [1:49:37] not saying we're getting 900 [1:49:38] 9 million 500 thousand [1:49:39] revenue. It's the taxable [1:49:40] value very important to [1:49:43] distinguish between the 2. [1:49:47] Which would have a plus a [1:49:48] 35,784, so there is an [1:49:49] economic benefit to this [1:49:52] amendment. Which is in [1:49:55] compliance with the [1:49:58] comprehensive plan. Economic [1:50:00] of diversification it aligns [1:50:01] with our the city's mandate to [1:50:04] actively increase diversify [1:50:07] and expand municipal economic [1:50:09] tax base. And our progress as [1:50:11] I stated previously it's [1:50:11] towards the 18% that is [1:50:14] required for that component [1:50:15] that was in the comprehensive [1:50:20] plan so the commercial [1:50:22] baseline is secures that 50 [1:50:23] acre expansion under the mixed [1:50:28] so it's a new mixed use 5 and [1:50:29] you 5. And again this was [1:50:30] about projections in the [1:50:31] revenues as I previously [1:50:36] stated. So with this [1:50:38] amendment, they're also asking [1:50:43] for to comply or adopt signage [1:50:46] standards for all signage judy [1:50:46] was just for a law signed is [1:50:50] this is all signage that will [1:50:51] have compliance they will [1:50:52] defer to chapter 5 the unified [1:50:55] land development code. It [1:50:58] applies that content neutral [1:50:59] measurable time space and man [1:51:02] are limits to mitigate visual [1:51:02] clutter also grants the [1:51:05] compliance as I stated [1:51:07] previously this is to prevent [1:51:08] any unexpected business costs [1:51:09] to any of those owners for [1:51:14] signage. Policy 5.1 parking [1:51:15] and traffic flow this refers [1:51:16] to the unified land [1:51:20] development code chapter 4 [1:51:22] article 10 to guarantee safe. [1:51:23] Convenient on site traffic [1:51:24] flow parking capacity because [1:51:24] it will need our parking [1:51:30] standards. Uses the parking [1:51:32] standard metrics and also to [1:51:33] minimize large asphalt front [1:51:35] footprints because our our [1:51:39] standards little more [1:51:41] stringent also. Free of this [1:51:42] parcel states for higher [1:51:43] intensity development in [1:51:50] public. Open spaces. Also want [1:51:53] jump on the at the roadways [1:51:54] levels service one component [1:51:54] of the comprehensive plan is [1:51:58] those levels services. They do [1:52:00] a traffic impact part of that [1:52:00] is included with the [1:52:02] commission back in it. It was [1:52:05] done SEPTEMBER 2025. It was [1:52:09] evaluated that it would not it [1:52:11] would fit within the existing [1:52:12] network capacity maintaining [1:52:16] those adopted local services, [1:52:17] even though that there are [1:52:19] daily trips are projected to [1:52:24] increase by 4,329 trips. It [1:52:26] does fall within their [1:52:30] acceptable levels to 2030 [1:52:32] based on that traffic impact [1:52:32] statement which has been [1:52:35] reviewed and evaluated like to [1:52:37] add by our public rindge [1:52:38] transportation engineer as [1:52:42] well from the let it take. So [1:52:44] there's going to be 0 offsite [1:52:48] improvements and also to know [1:52:51] that maintenance of the [1:52:52] roadways falls under wellen [1:52:53] park the city does not [1:52:55] maintain those roadways at all [1:52:56] that falls under long park it [1:53:00] is their responsibility. Legal [1:53:03] review and business impact a [1:53:04] student's so we're ordinance [1:53:06] 2023 has been reviewed and [1:53:07] approved by the city attorney [1:53:10] and is legally a cracked as to [1:53:13] form. In addition pursuant to [1:53:16] florida statute section 1, 6, [1:53:17] 6.0 4, 1, foresee a business [1:53:20] impact statement was not [1:53:20] required because this [1:53:21] ordinance is an active to [1:53:22] implement comprehensive plan [1:53:25] amendments and land [1:53:25] development regulations and [1:53:28] then is initiated by an [1:53:29] applicant application by a [1:53:30] private party other [1:53:35] municipality. So this was a [1:53:37] privately not city did not the [1:53:37] city did not address this or [1:53:40] done to do it just to kind of [1:53:41] give you notice of happened [1:53:44] they did hold a public [1:53:47] workshop. Those workshop [1:53:48] materials, outcome, the [1:53:49] questions that is in your [1:53:53] package in great detail. It [1:53:54] discussed the expansion and [1:53:59] the entitlement adjustments. [1:54:01] JUNE 30th, 2026 those notices [1:54:03] were mailed to the owner and [1:54:05] property owners within 1320 [1:54:06] feet and newspaper [1:54:09] advertisements were published. [1:54:10] The planning and zoning [1:54:14] advisory board on JULY 1620 26 [1:54:16] hold a meeting voted 5 to 0 [1:54:16] unanimous to approve the [1:54:20] changes to the amendments. The [1:54:21] next step this is where we are [1:54:24] here today for commission for [1:54:25] first reading with a proposed [1:54:28] adoption hearing for SEPTEMBER [1:54:31] 22nd. Staff is asking that the [1:54:34] commission would approve this [1:54:35] ordinance and accompanying [1:54:35] amendments to the village even [1:54:39] district pattern plan for the [1:54:40] upcoming a city commission [1:54:43] meeting for second reading and [1:54:45] staff is here to answer any [1:54:45] questions and I thank you for [1:54:50] your time. And q. Rebuttal [1:55:00] applicant. [1:55:01] >> it you can offer a rebuttal [1:55:05] religious point of sure you [1:55:07] give a detailed presentation [1:55:11] questions that MAY arise in [1:55:11] your minds. She MAY come about [1:55:16] city last month just want to [1:55:16] remind everyone. The city has [1:55:17] not invested one any [1:55:19] improvement in lawn park [1:55:22] that's privately funded or in [1:55:23] some cases we do run things [1:55:24] through the motions of [1:55:26] permanently. Water plant built [1:55:29] I ballpark wastewater plant [1:55:32] built by wall park. Water [1:55:33] plant expansion which we're [1:55:37] starting to design bill by [1:55:37] wang park. All the roadways [1:55:40] bill long parking wb I d. So I [1:55:41] just want to clarify that [1:55:42] because I know it's tough. [1:55:47] Just [1:55:48] to say. Yeah the city's [1:55:50] invested funds to him. To [1:55:50] level of service for the [1:55:56] roadway. Yes, there's [1:55:57] increased trips with this plan [1:56:01] over the prior plan. However [1:56:02] what we could not do in the [1:56:04] updated traffic impact [1:56:08] statement with the show [1:56:08] significant reduction in dense [1:56:10] cities in the 2 joining bill [1:56:15] half collectively the [1:56:16] reductions are in excess of a [1:56:17] 1000 homes in those 2 so [1:56:18] really there's net reduction [1:56:24] in. And level service actually [1:56:25] goes up. But because we're [1:56:28] only talking about village 8. [1:56:29] We could only show what was [1:56:32] happening village e not [1:56:33] collectively we do it. The [1:56:35] west hills improvement [1:56:36] district. We literally update [1:56:37] our traffic models for full [1:56:41] build out till at full build [1:56:45] so we have a good feeling. [1:56:45] Twice a year where we're [1:56:48] heading with improvements be [1:56:48] needed because we've got a [1:56:50] look long-term which roads to [1:56:52] be we know what fills the [1:56:53] parkway which has some [1:56:56] frontage on the parcel all to [1:56:59] 41 someday will be for life. [1:57:01] Probably the trigger will be [1:57:01] some age when they come in [1:57:04] because they will inject so [1:57:05] significantly more traffic in [1:57:09] that area. Again something we [1:57:12] monitor but just want to [1:57:12] clarify overall traffic is [1:57:16] heading not up. And last but [1:57:17] not least we show a reduction [1:57:20] in whole on residential [1:57:24] density down from the 1900. [1:57:26] Part of that 900 located up to [1:57:29] a 150 units for track h e [1:57:34] which was played off. Along [1:57:35] river road. We have entered [1:57:36] into contracts for commercial [1:57:38] use and that partial that [1:57:39] purchase of during the due [1:57:43] diligence and that part off. [1:57:43] Actually typed completing [1:57:46] playmore rolled across. Gci is [1:57:47] property which I think [1:57:52] saturday. Yes that could be 7 [1:57:53] or 8 so that will be happening [1:57:57] here in the next 6 to 9 [1:57:58] months. So what we did is we [1:58:00] MAY have some reduction [1:58:01] residential. What we did we [1:58:05] built in 150,000 square feet [1:58:06] of commercial for chance to [1:58:10] put that there. So things are [1:58:12] changing from when we started [1:58:13] this back a couple years ago, [1:58:14] but now we know we're going to [1:58:16] be able to have a commercial [1:58:20] use out there and play more in [1:58:21] river road. Just more and the [1:58:22] detail to what sure product. [1:58:30] Thank thank you sir. [1:58:31] >> yes sir I do have a [1:58:36] rebuttal to the okay so I just [1:58:39] wanted to make it very clear [1:58:41] when I evaluated this [1:58:41] petition, it's based on what [1:58:45] is existing at the time. And [1:58:46] the statement that I need is [1:58:47] based on that transferred [1:58:50] haitian impact statement. So [1:58:51] at this point in time based on [1:58:55] information for this approval. [1:58:57] There are no impacts to that [1:58:58] infrastructure. There's no [1:59:00] requirement for lift stations, [1:59:02] cetera. So at this point in [1:59:03] time there are no impacts i [1:59:04] just want to make that clear [1:59:08] on the record. [1:59:09] >> and that is the real battle [1:59:11] to my rebuttal. Thank you for [1:59:14] your will not republican you [1:59:21] don't certainly public that. [1:59:24] >> all commission questions. [1:59:29] But thank you mayor. [1:59:31] >> first thank you MISTER Lose [1:59:33] case for your eye for the [1:59:33] record I was going ask you to [1:59:39] clarify exactly how [1:59:40] infrastructure expansions are [1:59:43] funded without and wellen park [1:59:46] and yes this been [1:59:47] misunderstanding across the [1:59:48] city of north port are [1:59:50] taxpayers on how that's done [1:59:51] so thank you very much for [1:59:57] that. Also comment that I'm [2:00:00] frankly delighted with the [2:00:00] adjustments in this plan it's [2:00:03] long been recognized by city [2:00:04] that we need to bring more [2:00:05] jobs to the city of north port [2:00:09] and that we need to expand our [2:00:12] commercial footprint in order [2:00:12] to relieve some of the tax [2:00:13] burden on our homeowner [2:00:19] taxpayers. So. For those 2 [2:00:20] reasons I hardly supportive of [2:00:20] these changes. [2:00:25] Developed next. [2:00:29] >> commissioner you all. First [2:00:43] of all. I heard the name wall. [2:00:43] >> he's no longer here are [2:00:44] credit is still. [2:00:47] >> being seen. [2:00:48] >> think that shows quality of [2:00:52] floyd. That she was for the [2:00:57] city that she missed. Anyone [2:01:04] who's been around city for a [2:01:04] you I've been here for 18 [2:01:11] years. You although she was. [2:01:14] What MISTER Was it's first [2:01:17] mentioned above. The ballpark. [2:01:22] And school. You see where and [2:01:24] it's beautiful facility. [2:01:29] School there. And this is the [2:01:31] well, you I think about who [2:01:32] you still a lot of that across [2:01:35] ballpark. Well for [2:01:37] millennials. That was a great [2:01:46] change. As MISTER Was stated. [2:01:46] Well apart that property back [2:01:49] school is for. Been [2:01:55] repurposed. All of these the [2:02:01] family was up to me. Still [2:02:10] trees. But that's not you know [2:02:12] people are moving to florida. [2:02:14] People are going to florida. [2:02:18] Just from my experience with [2:02:20] the well apart. They get on [2:02:25] the and I think this is [2:02:26] example of making proper [2:02:32] adjustments. Thanks for [2:02:32] commissioner petro. [2:02:38] >> have a couple things. So [2:02:39] this ordinance intends change [2:02:40] and opponents entitlements and [2:02:42] reduce residential increasing [2:02:48] commercial whatever the number [2:02:48] but increasing the commercial [2:02:56] by 150 square feet. And on the [2:02:56] one total area of the square [2:03:03] footage or acreage. As far as [2:03:05] we're reducing biden said or [2:03:07] we still have some leftovers [2:03:10] from designation okay so the [2:03:11] 60 acre parcel that we're [2:03:12] adding in from the school [2:03:16] board property in hand. [2:03:17] >> they're proposing to [2:03:18] increase the non-residential [2:03:22] by a 150,000 square feet in [2:03:22] that area. So under the [2:03:26] current village district [2:03:27] pattern plan their allocation [2:03:30] for square feet 400,000 so [2:03:31] this will increase the total [2:03:36] to 550,000 square feet. And in [2:03:41] addition to reducing [2:03:41] residential component from a [2:03:43] residential units I'd be all [2:03:45] cross. [2:03:49] >> village e to the 900. [2:03:52] >> they have to be resold for [2:03:52] ordinance covers a new test [2:03:55] when concept, whatever you [2:04:01] call as opposed to plan. [2:04:03] >> do we have rezoning from [2:04:05] shifting from bench, you know [2:04:07] rezoning know it's it's all so [2:04:11] that the village no rezoning [2:04:11] no change. [2:04:12] >> and just understand it's [2:04:14] not it's it's incorporating [2:04:17] the 60 acres village with [2:04:19] those 60 acres were part of [2:04:20] the wellen park which is [2:04:21] putting it in here for ability [2:04:24] to add that non-residential [2:04:28] square feet. [2:04:29] >> have another question for [2:04:33] MISTER Of those in and this [2:04:36] for a so. [2:04:44] How does the infrastructure [2:04:44] expansion. [2:04:45] It's funded news said it [2:04:46] clearly that is funded by the [2:04:48] developer. But the city [2:04:53] reverses the developer. [2:04:53] Through the impact fees and [2:04:58] how much is dollars per you [2:04:59] could do a racial it's $0.50 [2:05:04] per and the dollar. And it was [2:05:06] specifically did refer stuff [2:05:07] like station wastewater [2:05:07] whatever all those [2:05:10] infrastructure. Components you [2:05:12] do get reimbursed. And my [2:05:16] question is how much who [2:05:17] >> I can't give the exit [2:05:20] dollar values like getting [2:05:21] done calls. And traffic as you [2:05:22] know the of that these must be [2:05:27] spent in that year. So my [2:05:27] nexus they need to come into [2:05:34] the park area. Dollars we've [2:05:35] spent as APRIL this year [2:05:41] 160 million dollars. On roads. [2:05:46] Just the not any subdivision. [2:05:47] I believe that JUNE first of [2:05:48] this year, the city is [2:05:50] reimbursed this through impact [2:05:55] fees. 16 million dollars. So [2:05:57] we received about $0.10. On [2:06:01] every dollar we've spent. [2:06:01] Great deal. [2:06:06] >> but it's spending right. [2:06:07] >> all receipts only waivers [2:06:09] have been reviewed by we've [2:06:10] been provided to the city in [2:06:13] been review. Lift stations [2:06:20] reimbursement 0. We we do get [2:06:22] you know she payments which a [2:06:24] cap on for the repayment all [2:06:26] don't mean the wastewater [2:06:26] treatment plant and same goes [2:06:30] for water plant. One with [2:06:31] wastewater treatment plant was [2:06:35] repaid in that money is coming [2:06:36] in sitting in a for the [2:06:39] planned expansion between [2:06:40] expanding the wastewater plant [2:06:42] from 2 million gallons. A day [2:06:44] to 4 million young today. Plus [2:06:48] the contemplated law to bring [2:06:51] additional reclaim from the [2:06:55] pen america up 1.2 well in [2:06:57] part to address the city's [2:06:58] 18 million dollars issue of [2:07:03] ionizing. Those 2 combined [2:07:05] dissipate be about 40 million [2:07:07] dollars and will be ultimately [2:07:10] repaid. Hopefully you know [2:07:11] she's hopefully we'll have [2:07:13] enough year she has pay that. [2:07:18] I so that again. Fully paid [2:07:20] remember when we when I say [2:07:23] were paid. We the money. You [2:07:25] don't charge of any interest. [2:07:30] It's 0 interest law. Just like [2:07:31] we do with the fire station [2:07:32] police substation public [2:07:36] safety building all you know, [2:07:37] that's pretty good federal [2:07:37] government and you can get a [2:07:48] deal you know the part list. [2:07:49] The part due to heat all the [2:07:51] questions yeah well, one thing [2:07:52] that as for more clarification [2:07:55] as far as that. [2:07:58] >> you've been reimbursed but [2:08:00] there's a pending [2:08:01] reimbursements as well so [2:08:06] there's need for what. When [2:08:08] news that I think is set to [2:08:09] lift stations. I forget [2:08:09] station never been any [2:08:13] reimbursements on any [2:08:14] legislation. [2:08:15] >> pending because annually [2:08:19] the city reimburses for wrote [2:08:20] for impact fees collected in [2:08:22] the prior 12 months. So [2:08:23] generally I will some of the [2:08:26] bill. Basically shows what we [2:08:30] spend here today. I send it to [2:08:31] the city generally on APRIL [2:08:37] 1st. Generally by JUNE 1st we [2:08:37] get reimbursed. So if the city [2:08:41] collects. 5 million dollars. [2:08:44] There's a caution. I think [2:08:47] right now we're at 80%. The [2:08:50] city had 5 million in coffers [2:08:54] to reimburse us that year. [2:08:57] They would submit send us that [2:08:57] 4 million dollars keep a [2:08:58] million dollars for use of [2:09:01] roadways also in the city. [2:09:03] Follows the road we [2:09:04] reimbursement agreement we [2:09:09] entered into MARCH in 2020. [2:09:10] >> so this is one 60 million [2:09:10] for the roles 160 million [2:09:14] which [2:09:15] >> does the plasma number was [2:09:16] invested as of APRIL one of [2:09:16] this year. [2:09:20] We believe that full build out [2:09:20] will be close to [2:09:24] 200 million. Does not include [2:09:26] our investments we've made and [2:09:27] river road just to remind [2:09:33] everybody to date we're public [2:09:34] or private invest any money in [2:09:39] south river road. County, some [2:09:39] 0.3 million dollars for you [2:09:40] design and permitting of that [2:09:43] role. [2:09:44] >> once the built out for you [2:09:48] said 200 million. How much [2:09:52] this project and your [2:09:53] destination to be collected [2:09:55] from the for 3 event when he [2:09:58] will be [2:09:59] >> if we get $0.40 on the [2:10:04] dollar expense. I mean roughly [2:10:07] 11,000 homes in. And we [2:10:12] receive 16 million dollars. [2:10:16] Granted you becomes one 67 [2:10:16] benderson commercial couple [2:10:19] hospitals coming those are. I. [2:10:23] Years of traffic into [2:10:24] hopefully you know we're going [2:10:27] see a big jump in that number. [2:10:28] Don't think we have get more [2:10:33] than 30 to 40%. Thank you. [2:10:45] >> closing arguments staff.

[2:15:07] >> already and this is your [2:15:11] right this on JULY 21st 2026 [2:15:12] discuss this board and their [2:15:13] lack membership at that time [2:15:14] had one member left remaining [2:15:17] on the board and. [2:15:18] >> commission directed me to [2:15:18] draft an ordinance to standing [2:15:22] that [2:15:23] >> commission questions [2:15:27] discussion. Youve got public [2:15:37] comment. [2:15:38] >> I'm so sad that this is on [2:15:40] the agenda again. This the [2:15:46] board. You know this. Almost a [2:15:51] year and a half. [2:15:53] >> I've been sending the board [2:15:53] information on really we need [2:15:54] take a look at these advisory [2:15:55] boards. While the remaining [2:16:00] empty. How can we get people [2:16:01] on them and interested in [2:16:07] serving. That was supposed to [2:16:07] be an agenda item last year I [2:16:08] think we're still working on [2:16:11] it. But it definitely needs be [2:16:15] a workshop. To everybody look [2:16:15] at how we can people involved [2:16:18] in advisory boards. Maybe we [2:16:21] need to combine some advisory [2:16:22] boards. I think we need to [2:16:24] look at the criteria for some [2:16:27] of these advisory boards. I [2:16:30] mean this is an important [2:16:31] advisory board but because of [2:16:32] the lack of participation and [2:16:38] quorum issues. We have to. [2:16:38] Repeal it but do we really [2:16:39] have to repeal it coming not [2:16:43] just temporarily suspend it. [2:16:44] While we MAY be scheduled [2:16:45] workshop to really go over [2:16:46] these advisory boards and see [2:16:51] what we can do. Influence more [2:16:51] more participation on these [2:16:57] boards. And then also the [2:16:59] memos and the recommendations [2:17:00] that I had given to the [2:17:00] commission last year to take a [2:17:05] look at it again. And see what [2:17:07] we can really because it's [2:17:07] important these advisory [2:17:10] boards are important. We need [2:17:12] to citizen input on these [2:17:13] boards and then their voices [2:17:14] need to really be taken [2:17:18] seriously. Recommendations and [2:17:21] memos that are given to the [2:17:24] commission. So instead of just [2:17:24] repealing it and getting rid [2:17:25] of this again can we just [2:17:26] temporarily suspended until we [2:17:30] can really figure out. All the [2:17:32] different aspects of these [2:17:33] advisory boards and why we [2:17:34] have such low participation in [2:17:35] vacancies available all the [2:17:38] time. That would be my [2:17:39] recommendation to this court [2:17:42] please reconsider. Temporarily [2:17:50] suspending have a workshop. [2:17:52] >> phillips, I'm writing to [2:17:53] express my strong opposition [2:17:56] to the proposal to disband the [2:17:57] historic cultural advisory [2:17:58] board dismantling this fido [2:17:59] and steve community's ability [2:18:02] to protect conserve and raise [2:18:03] public awareness of the [2:18:03] priceless historic and [2:18:06] cultural resources that define [2:18:08] our identity. Report serves as [2:18:09] indispensable asset to our [2:18:10] local government bridges, the [2:18:12] gap between official policy [2:18:13] makers in the community [2:18:14] ensuring that for the modern [2:18:15] development do not come at the [2:18:17] expense of our heritage but [2:18:18] that the dedicated expert [2:18:20] recommendations of this board [2:18:22] reversed permanently losing [2:18:23] the unique cultural landscapes [2:18:24] historical structures public [2:18:25] art installations that make [2:18:27] our community a place to live [2:18:28] and visit rather than to [2:18:28] stopping the border to [2:18:31] temporary hurdle such as [2:18:32] membership fluctuations [2:18:33] community engagement our [2:18:35] leadership should actively [2:18:37] investing revitalizing urge [2:18:39] you to reject any measures to [2:18:40] dissolve this advisory group [2:18:40] and said launch targeted [2:18:43] efforts to recruit passionate [2:18:44] community volunteers and [2:18:44] restore the board to [2:18:45] full-capacity thank you for [2:18:48] your time leadership and [2:18:49] commitment to preserving the [2:18:50] historic integrity of our [2:18:51] community. I strongly urge you [2:18:52] to vote against the disbanding [2:18:52] of the historic and cultural [2:18:58] advisory. And that's all. [2:19:04] >> go ahead. [2:19:05] >> the city to temporarily [2:19:08] suspend story. And cultural [2:19:09] advisory board until further [2:19:16] notice. [2:19:25] >> second for refresh my [2:19:27] memory clair we suspended this [2:19:28] board once already could you [2:19:32] go through [2:19:34] >> we did suspended for a year [2:19:35] because at that time it was [2:19:37] down to one member and we held [2:19:40] meeting with [2:19:43] >> commission and members of [2:19:46] the community such like them. [2:19:56] I. Stark wrister I'm joe and I [2:19:57] think there's like 3 people [2:20:00] who came out for it we decided [2:20:01] they said they will be able to [2:20:05] find people to join them find [2:20:06] people to join the border over [2:20:08] time it has slowly climbed all [2:20:10] the way I will say the same [2:20:12] things that the board [2:20:14] discussed what we brought to [2:20:14] for the time from since I [2:20:17] think it was 2024 till now. [2:20:19] >> the things that they [2:20:20] discussed are the same things [2:20:21] that board was discussing [2:20:23] since 2019 when I first got [2:20:25] here and it was just the same [2:20:27] 3 things the historic [2:20:32] designations for tipton team [2:20:35] area. So something or other [2:20:37] and so those are only things [2:20:38] that were recommended to [2:20:39] commission those times were to [2:20:40] keep those in talking with [2:20:41] development services I don't [2:20:43] know the details you have to [2:20:44] ask them. But there are so [2:20:47] many things cannot do that [2:20:48] they wanted to do by making [2:20:51] these historic designations [2:20:52] against state statute or our [2:20:55] code I'm not sure which one [2:20:56] mistry stated that think they [2:20:58] could not do certain things [2:20:59] that they wanted do in the [2:20:59] mayor they wanted to do and [2:21:01] the board just window down to [2:21:04] one member was harry camera [2:21:10] and overall summary want to [2:21:24] thank prevail.

[2:34:35] >> I make it go and move to [2:34:36] direct city attorney doesn't [2:34:37] demand letter MISTER Halligan [2:34:40] for the incomplete project. [2:34:41] >> have a motion on the floor [2:34:41] made by commissioner spoke [2:34:44] just second. Second seconded [2:34:47] by vice mayor. If there's [2:34:54] nothing to please passes 5 to [2:35:03] 0. Moving on to item 26 dash [2:35:04] 0, 2, 5, discussion and [2:35:06] possible action regarding [2:35:08] parks and recreation advisory [2:35:09] board recommendation [2:35:12] memorandum for canine club the [2:35:12] rainbow bridge. [2:35:16] >> and circle or wetland [2:35:18] conservation. [2:35:19] >> pass this is your guess [2:35:20] this is also another [2:35:20] memorandum from the parks and [2:35:21] recreation advisory board I [2:35:24] believe miller does have more [2:35:32] information on this. [2:35:35] >> is o k the other a little [2:35:36] sand easy information keeper [2:35:43] that school. [2:35:43] >> patricia his assistant [2:35:44] parks and recreation as well [2:35:48] as liaison to recognize [2:35:50] report. 2 items came forward [2:35:51] to are correct advisory board [2:35:54] from the public one [2:35:54] conservation area for the well [2:35:57] is located behind the circle [2:36:00] of I'm asking requesting that [2:36:02] area. He said as a [2:36:03] conservation zone. Through our [2:36:08] planning and zoning MARCH [2:36:09] basically would be the start [2:36:10] of preserving some of that [2:36:11] area we did speak public works [2:36:16] and it is owned by road [2:36:16] drainage and there's no [2:36:17] intended use for parcel so it [2:36:18] would not affect them we were [2:36:23] to I second item is a rainbow [2:36:25] bridge, another item brought [2:36:26] forward by community member [2:36:29] and presented to the park or [2:36:30] recognize report. The was a [2:36:31] very large scale one located [2:36:36] in north carolina and it had [2:36:37] some problems with the initial [2:36:38] projection they looking at the [2:36:41] white house you buy a little [2:36:43] part. During times of high [2:36:44] water hurricanes we can have a [2:36:46] lot of items that are you know [2:36:48] last missing that type of [2:36:49] thing. So we kind of talked [2:36:53] through the process and they [2:36:55] kind of landed on a small [2:36:57] footbridge that would be [2:36:57] located in the canine club [2:37:02] that's already existing the [2:37:02] clock's to be purchased [2:37:03] through the city's tribute [2:37:04] existing program where you can [2:37:10] do more lies your pat at that [2:37:11] so I'm looking approximately a [2:37:12] $1500 cost we would be looking [2:37:14] to probably locally. You know [2:37:15] get some donations towards [2:37:19] those materials. [2:37:19] >> I had a question about that [2:37:24] because I've seen some of [2:37:24] these and pictures of and with [2:37:25] that little foot bridge in [2:37:32] now. What is allow for the [2:37:34] citizens because put their [2:37:36] memorandum of collars from [2:37:38] their pets on that to display [2:37:39] when we allow that to be able [2:37:41] to do that we currently have [2:37:42] ordinance that no personal [2:37:43] property is permitted to be [2:37:44] left in park, so that would be [2:37:45] prohibitive about ordinance [2:37:46] which is why we align it with [2:37:50] the tribute program. [2:37:50] >> where they could actually [2:37:51] purchased the and installed a [2:37:56] plaque on the actual bridge. [2:37:56] >> we MAY have to look into [2:37:57] that a little bit further down [2:38:02] the road because I don't want [2:38:02] to be like ok. Yes you've got [2:38:04] to get plaque from parks and [2:38:05] rec it MAY not mean as much to [2:38:09] them as leaving the caller [2:38:10] there for other participants, [2:38:10] so we'll look into that in the [2:38:14] future. The the other one that [2:38:16] I had to about the [2:38:18] conservation area feel that [2:38:19] that's a great opportunity to [2:38:20] be able to utilize his [2:38:21] property and just leave it to [2:38:23] be and let nature take over. [2:38:24] You know just leave it like [2:38:26] that because it does it is [2:38:27] part of the circle of our so I [2:38:30] mean. I appreciate that for [2:38:32] for this coming up. [2:38:35] Commissioner ball. [2:38:41] >> what but everything staff I [2:38:46] asked the ball. The rebel [2:38:47] ridge. You know about cost to [2:38:50] the city of maintenance. You [2:38:53] know we've got to pay bill has [2:38:53] staff asked them around it is [2:38:57] one of the bay. I was assured [2:39:05] by staff that the. Items baugh [2:39:12] from city. In people's pets to [2:39:12] be placed on the grid when [2:39:17] colder those costs. You know I [2:39:20] was originally against israeli [2:39:20] rebel ridge just because [2:39:21] maintenance of the cost [2:39:23] whatever, but todd. [2:39:26] Staff advised me that would be [2:39:34] color. The second conservation [2:39:37] is basically a drain behind [2:39:40] and you know talked with. [2:39:46] Citizens as part of certain [2:39:46] will honor it would be you [2:39:48] know walk around there just. [2:39:52] Article. Repose reflection to [2:39:55] be added to so they are so I [2:39:58] think that's a good thing. [2:40:02] That's vice mayor. [2:40:04] >> thank you MISTER Mayor I I [2:40:07] would suggest to ever wants to [2:40:08] make a motion on this item [2:40:11] that we separate the they [2:40:12] might be a little different, [2:40:15] you know do one on the rainbow [2:40:18] bridge and one on the wetland [2:40:19] conservation. I think the [2:40:22] wetland conservation I also [2:40:23] have chatted with multiple [2:40:26] people on that end. And I [2:40:31] agree for me it's a [2:40:32] no-brainer. The rainbow bridge [2:40:37] I have mixed feelings so. I [2:40:41] like the approach of tying it [2:40:42] into our tribute program [2:40:43] because it would help find [2:40:48] that. [2:40:49] >> but I but I also get that [2:40:52] people might want to leave a [2:40:54] color their particularly on [2:40:54] that I do I'm very interested [2:40:55] in what other commissioners [2:40:57] have to say. [2:40:58] >> a little on the fence about [2:41:01] that. [2:41:04] >> commissioner thank you [2:41:05] mayor. I concur with [2:41:06] commissioner vice mayor [2:41:14] london. Time separating the 2. [2:41:19] And I lowering I have a [2:41:21] question all buying by our [2:41:22] citizens, you know play so [2:41:28] like whatever call it. [2:41:29] >> to place up there and yet [2:41:30] we've the city have to [2:41:31] maintain that and do all this [2:41:33] work at the taxpayers money. [2:41:39] At tax payers expense. So what [2:41:41] are only commission and duval [2:41:41] the staff assured him that [2:41:42] there would recording of the [2:41:49] cost. But this venue but it [2:41:49] small team at how do we know [2:41:51] for sure happens tomorrow. [2:41:56] People not be interested [2:41:57] >> doing I think we have a [2:41:59] good market in people who [2:42:00] frequent the canine club [2:42:02] already however if there was [2:42:04] not the lumber that would be [2:42:05] our asked would be for [2:42:06] donations from some of our [2:42:10] local building. Organizations [2:42:11] and that would could be used [2:42:13] in other ways within the park [2:42:14] system, there's always words [2:42:16] that have to be replaced on [2:42:17] boardwalks are other things so [2:42:17] there wasn't it would be an [2:42:21] easy removal itself. It's 68 [2:42:23] drive bridge. It's not a a [2:42:30] very large composition. [2:42:33] >> but the if you cross [2:42:37] bridges in the city and to [2:42:37] maintain and prepare or [2:42:41] reconstruct. We've seen that [2:42:42] those costs can be very [2:42:47] expense. So I'm just like come [2:42:48] on the fence with this one as [2:42:49] well hoping to see what other [2:42:55] commissions. Have to but it's [2:42:57] known $2 it's just more of [2:43:00] responsibility of our. [2:43:01] Possible use of our tax payers [2:43:08] money for project. [2:43:09] >> all the way that I look at [2:43:11] it is just like if we put up a [2:43:12] swing set up are you know, [2:43:13] we've got to maintain that [2:43:17] take care of that we've got [2:43:18] monumental bunches out there [2:43:20] in memory of so and so you [2:43:21] know I I believe that the [2:43:23] maintenance on this is maybe [2:43:24] payment every 5 years if [2:43:24] needed and we need around it [2:43:29] so you're talking about a 2 [2:43:29] minute so I I don't see the [2:43:30] big issue on maintenance on [2:43:33] this itself, you know and and [2:43:33] coming down across time, I'm [2:43:36] sure a volunteer would come in [2:43:36] and thank the thing and [2:43:41] probably half an hour so [2:43:41] that's why I look at it I [2:43:42] think it's I think it's a [2:43:43] great idea and and we've got [2:43:44] pet owners out there that [2:43:45] maybe a little subsection of [2:43:48] our community that really like [2:43:49] I understand is not [2:43:52] everybody's cup of tea, but [2:43:53] I'm a pat or I would [2:43:53] appreciate it, you know they [2:43:56] for my pat. [2:43:57] >> and just to be clear it's [2:43:59] not a bridge that's [2:44:00] constructed for certain levels [2:44:03] of traffic it's it's more of a [2:44:03] decorative small and it's [2:44:04] going to be said not where [2:44:05] people would you know using it [2:44:12] to cross a waterway. [2:44:16] >> do we have leading public [2:44:17] comment yet. [2:44:17] >> there is no public comment [2:44:18] and there are 2 suggest [2:44:22] emotions for each [2:44:24] >> you're ahead of the game or [2:44:27] I am going to request [2:44:28] emotionally. I'll take a shot [2:44:32] one of [2:44:35] >> and that to address city [2:44:37] manager to evaluate placing [2:44:38] the wetland portion of parcel [2:44:40] identification number 0, 9, 7, [2:44:45] 9, 0, 0, 2000 under [2:44:46] conservation as part of the [2:44:50] circle of honor including any [2:44:53] necessary legal environmental [2:44:53] survey land management [2:44:57] maintenance and budget [2:44:57] considerations and to bring [2:45:00] the proposed implementation [2:45:01] that to the city commission [2:45:01] for consideration. [2:45:07] >> motion on the floor by vice [2:45:09] mayor seconded by [2:45:10] >> commissioner stokes there's [2:45:18] nothing to that for him. [2:45:20] Passes 5, 0, you know the [2:45:33] motion. I to direct the city [2:45:35] manager the to develop details [2:45:37] necessary to implement the [2:45:38] installation of a rainbow [2:45:39] bridge at the canine club [2:45:42] including amending the [2:45:43] administrative regulations. [2:45:44] >> for the tribune program to [2:45:44] include the purchase supplies [2:45:48] for pet owners too. Purpose of [2:45:49] memory of their deceased and [2:45:50] also including the creation [2:45:56] of. Related procedures [2:45:57] standards ethical harry uhl's [2:46:00] cost recovery fees and to [2:46:01] bring the proposed [2:46:02] implementation plan back to [2:46:02] the city commission for [2:46:05] consideration. [2:46:09] >> motion on the floor made by [2:46:19] our city. [2:46:26] >> when how old they are also [2:46:31] 2 [2:46:32] >> so we have a motion on the [2:46:33] floor to move the city manager [2:46:38] to develop the details [2:46:39] necessary to implement the [2:46:40] installation of a rainbow [2:46:40] bridge if the canine club city [2:46:43] clerk do you have the rest of [2:46:45] that case made our city mayor. [2:46:49] Do I hear a second. Also. [2:46:52] Seconded by commissioner duval [2:46:53] if there's no more to that [2:47:01] let's vote. And that motion [2:47:06] passes 5 to 0. [2:47:14] >> thank you did a [2:47:19] commissioners of [2:47:24] >> moving on to 26 dash 1, 0, [2:47:27] 5, discussion possible action [2:47:29] regarding acting unified land [2:47:30] development regulations [2:47:34] concerned data center's this [2:47:35] was requested by commissioner [2:47:36] stokes [2:47:36] says MISTER Foss is going to [2:47:37] introduce this item. [2:47:42] >> this is a [2:47:44] >> thank you very much [2:47:48] commissioner stops this is [2:47:49] your items. [2:47:49] >> well, you know in our [2:47:50] discussions about we've [2:47:51] already you know kind of [2:47:53] discussed the idea regulation. [2:47:55] I think there's been plenty [2:48:00] additional discussion about. [2:48:01] >> how bill forry for 01:00am [2:48:04] harris will interact and west [2:48:05] priority and what we can [2:48:09] legally do what we can really [2:48:09] do it. [2:48:10] >> none of that is the concern [2:48:12] of this particular item for [2:48:14] discussion possible action in [2:48:16] my mind it was to formally [2:48:18] give direction to the city [2:48:18] attorney to go out and work [2:48:24] diligently in a timely fashion [2:48:25] draft foreign set a gold [2:48:26] standard regulations whether [2:48:30] includes protections. I don't [2:48:36] care I want credibly. Strong [2:48:38] set of regulations that [2:48:39] address work our air quality [2:48:43] and sound that are with in vol [2:48:44] au for you to bring that to on [2:48:48] a monthly basis tough day in a [2:48:50] workshop, so that the public [2:48:52] as well as commission can [2:48:55] provide some input and should [2:48:56] be a transparent process to [2:48:56] put together whatever we can [2:49:01] put together. As far as [2:49:05] regulations. It was spent [2:49:08] there legal strength or lack [2:49:09] of legal straight that's not [2:49:12] making we need to regulations [2:49:13] and we also perhaps you can to [2:49:19] bear in mind that. As a city. [2:49:21] We have not yet dealt with [2:49:25] industrial development here [2:49:26] any extent and I think part of [2:49:26] this process should be to take [2:49:29] a look as well. Regulation [2:49:33] that addresses. Industrial [2:49:38] development as well because [2:49:39] they say there's maybe only [2:49:40] one of a number of types of [2:49:42] projects industrial projects [2:49:44] that MAY come before they have [2:49:47] impact on the on sale only [2:49:47] same areas and they need to be [2:49:49] addressed as the city. We need [2:49:56] to. Put together we need bring [2:49:56] him before the commission and [2:50:00] the public for everybody's and [2:50:01] then figure out what we want [2:50:03] to whether we can and that [2:50:05] just before one 80 runs out or [2:50:08] not is separate and apart a [2:50:09] discussion that we could talk [2:50:12] about for a century and never [2:50:14] saw because that's going to be [2:50:14] adjudicated in a court of law [2:50:17] I have no doubt at some point [2:50:20] but we need these regulations [2:50:20] so happy to hear what [2:50:22] everybody else on the say [2:50:23] because we need to give clear [2:50:24] direction and get this process [2:50:24] going in my [2:50:30] thank you vice [2:50:33] >> thank you city attorney it [2:50:34] was my understanding that we [2:50:38] already gave you this [2:50:40] direction. In the reading of [2:50:42] the ordinance so I guess I'm [2:50:45] asking for your understanding [2:50:47] of where the direction to [2:50:52] create those regulations. Our. [2:50:57] >> well second rate impending [2:50:57] right so. [2:50:58] >> and issue discussed talked [2:51:05] to just to be. Kerry because [2:51:08] they said you want you're [2:51:13] doing for the last years maybe [2:51:15] longer something about it [2:51:19] later all that's all for [2:51:19] discussion. [2:51:21] >> I'm very much inclined to [2:51:22] focus on data centers now [2:51:27] since it's such an immediate [2:51:28] issue. I also have some [2:51:29] concerns and some thoughts [2:51:31] about how we should proceed in [2:51:35] that industrial use category [2:51:36] that personally I don't feel [2:51:36] equipped to have a [2:51:39] conversation on that today. [2:51:45] My. Suggestion would be that [2:51:46] we focus on data centers. I [2:51:47] think we have all acknowledged [2:51:54] that. And I'm so when we [2:51:55] approved the moratorium one of [2:51:58] the most important pieces of [2:52:01] work is getting those [2:52:02] regulations and guardrails in [2:52:05] place and voted on and into [2:52:06] our uldc and that we do that [2:52:12] as quickly as possible. I [2:52:15] don't know as monthly is the [2:52:15] right time frame. Kind of open [2:52:16] to that but I'd be interested [2:52:17] in what my fellow [2:52:18] commissioners have to say. [2:52:27] Many here in ball. [2:52:28] >> but question first I [2:52:39] believe support it. Edition so [2:52:40] additional commissioner stokes [2:52:46] com going to talk about. [2:52:47] Quality okay. Why does also a [2:52:52] part of this okay. You know we [2:52:54] all there's a number over [2:52:58] love. Properties in the city [2:53:01] the role of wells. We have a [2:53:04] any kind of industry that is [2:53:06] going lower the water table. [2:53:11] You know that could affect [2:53:12] thousands of people in the [2:53:22] city. And I'm sure as city [2:53:23] attorney worse things you but [2:53:24] with some of things you one of [2:53:28] would too. Comparatively for [2:53:32] all their cities. Regarding [2:53:35] you know. The best practices [2:53:37] on the way that you know we [2:53:39] could protect the city. For [2:53:43] all. Consequences that we [2:53:48] really do I have. That's it [2:53:51] for me thank thank you. Sir [2:53:57] commissioner federal thank you [2:53:58] the subject water and I concur [2:54:00] with vice mayor length and [2:54:01] then commission to vote on the [2:54:05] monthly updates monthly. [2:54:06] Schedule if you will about [2:54:15] stopped. But water. Such vital [2:54:19] component a life's 70% of each [2:54:21] one of consist more or water. [2:54:27] And if we're contaminated the [2:54:28] quality of life and [2:54:31] everybody's affected. With [2:54:38] this scale. Data is that. You [2:54:40] know I just wonder what [2:54:41] motivates the people more [2:54:44] than. The quality of life and [2:54:46] that's obviously in this case [2:54:47] and my personal perception is [2:54:51] money. And the u you know [2:54:56] specifically said that also. [2:54:58] Crypto mining whatever [2:54:58] accountability of this data [2:54:59] center so. Crypto mining is [2:55:01] one of the most profitable [2:55:05] mining. Modern days. You know [2:55:12] college and probably but we [2:55:14] cannot sacrifice quality of [2:55:14] life and a specifically want [2:55:22] to. The direction looking into [2:55:25] this subject the and that is [2:55:31] water. A 23 73.2 6, 2, [2:55:35] specifically governments, [2:55:36] let's scale. They decide is it [2:55:36] requires they water used to be [2:55:39] consistent. But local zoning [2:55:45] and comprehensive it says what [2:55:46] patient MAY not be issued when [2:55:48] the proposed use would be [2:55:49] harmful to the area's water [2:55:52] resources. And one of reasons [2:55:59] one of them. Overhead but the [2:55:59] local regulations. So in my [2:56:03] view we should the focus to [2:56:06] the welfare of our and like [2:56:06] and I was going to mention the [2:56:09] same thing about what are also [2:56:13] a lot of people and the senate [2:56:15] our area low on water wells. [2:56:19] It's even going to clean or [2:56:23] and it depends skill [2:56:23] large-scale they decide that [2:56:27] we don't even know how big it [2:56:28] we know the square footage, we [2:56:29] know that building footprint [2:56:31] but we don't know if it's 50 [2:56:34] megawatts it's 40 if it's 30 [2:56:38] 70. And what they you know [2:56:40] proposed plans of how it's [2:56:41] going to be done whether it's [2:56:42] a substation or whatever it [2:56:44] was still going to be used. So [2:56:48] I just wanted to direct our. [2:56:52] Attention and maybe make a [2:56:53] motion to direct the city [2:56:55] attorney specifically looking [2:56:57] to that as legally authorized [2:57:06] water study scale data sent to [2:57:07] do critical mind you have to [2:57:09] have a large scale data center [2:57:10] still not just data center [2:57:13] that brings me to that is [2:57:19] notion again status I'm not. [2:57:20] Davis said data center [2:57:20] large-scale type of scale data [2:57:26] center different. Tough [2:57:27] animal. With is that we have [2:57:30] seen from the discussion up to [2:57:32] this point that even [2:57:33] development does not know all [2:57:35] the details and when we had [2:57:38] workshop. We could really. [2:57:39] Getting answers because it [2:57:42] would project specific. [2:57:44] Defense in the project. We did [2:57:49] not know. You know the [2:57:49] direction of developer what [2:57:56] it's going to be. So having I [2:57:58] want to direct the city [2:58:01] attorney. You know to that [2:58:02] specific area of water to do [2:58:11] that. As legally as possible [2:58:12] to restrict condition or deny [2:58:13] approval of a new proposed [2:58:13] large-scale data center within [2:58:20] the city. You know because. [2:58:21] Water resource protections for [2:58:26] us. For humans as opposed to. [2:58:32] You know probably driven. [2:58:33] Schools and I'm open you know [2:58:38] to listen to my fellow [2:58:39] commissioners. How to direct [2:58:41] the city attorney or is [2:58:42] commission stokes does [2:58:43] proposition doesn't include [2:58:48] that. I just want to be more [2:58:48] detail oriented when we talk [2:58:50] about the water. Thank you [2:58:54] mayor. [2:58:56] >> I just have a question from [2:59:00] commissioners stokes is it [2:59:01] your intention to enable this [2:59:02] work to begin before a second [2:59:03] reading to kind of pull these [2:59:06] regulations of the moratorium [2:59:09] language. I mean we can lead [2:59:10] and they are but you know what [2:59:14] I'm saying to accelerate the [2:59:16] it was my intention to give [2:59:21] from direction to begin right [2:59:21] now. [2:59:22] >> because irrespective of [2:59:23] this application or any [2:59:27] application or any uses. I [2:59:30] agree, let's start with but we [2:59:32] need to do this and we need to [2:59:34] get to work on and it is going [2:59:35] to be a process because as we [2:59:37] can none of us know exactly [2:59:40] what to ask for yet. And we [2:59:41] don't even know what's [2:59:44] involved in this particular [2:59:45] application yet, but I would [2:59:47] say that we need to begin [2:59:47] somewhere and that's what I'm [2:59:48] trying to do is give direction [2:59:52] to start process and then see [2:59:54] it evolve. That's why I think [2:59:55] the monthly you know updates [2:59:57] are important in a workshop [2:59:58] environment because not only [3:00:01] will we have ideas in question [3:00:03] but so the general public and [3:00:05] this process needs include [3:00:05] everybody kind development our [3:00:09] city affects everybody and it [3:00:12] can't be done in the dark can [3:00:15] be by anyone needs to be done [3:00:16] collectively by everybody to [3:00:18] see health and welfare the [3:00:20] city is protected so long way [3:00:22] answer your question. Yes, [3:00:27] >> but that idea. [3:00:29] >> the one thing sort of [3:00:30] concerned about is I [3:00:30] understand the monthly I agree [3:00:34] with the monthly updates. But [3:00:35] depending on how far we go [3:00:36] I've got no issues with having [3:00:39] it at a workshop. But what if [3:00:41] there's just not enough [3:00:42] information as we move along [3:00:43] to work we can use at least of [3:00:47] the agenda item to go ahead [3:00:49] and discuss it I just want to [3:00:50] put that out there to where if [3:00:52] he's only got like a 5 minute [3:00:53] update we're not really [3:00:54] passionate about to have a [3:00:57] special meeting as workshop, [3:00:58] public stolen by public but to [3:00:59] be involved given public [3:01:02] comment but. Instead of having [3:01:03] a full long workshop for [3:01:05] little information. It has an [3:01:09] agenda item I just want the [3:01:12] the attorney to have that [3:01:13] going forward I just want to [3:01:18] make monthly basis part of [3:01:20] meeting agenda whether it's [3:01:22] the jet that was to worship [3:01:24] that we wore a part of this [3:01:29] process sure 6 months get a [3:01:33] pile of regulations that input [3:01:34] okay, we should be part of [3:01:36] this process that's right. I [3:01:37] just hate to see put together [3:01:40] a workshop at there's a day [3:01:40] and yeah, the citizens have [3:01:44] chance [3:01:45] >> we've got the update there [3:01:46] like well why would come here [3:01:46] for you know, that's all I [3:01:50] just hate to say it like [3:01:51] commissioner petro. [3:01:55] >> just want to say monthlies [3:01:57] with not go further than than [3:02:04] the monthly. A time just [3:02:04] because you know it's a [3:02:05] frightened little do agenda [3:02:09] when the regular meeting. But [3:02:10] if it's more we can depending [3:02:16] on mound. But I want to wait 2 [3:02:17] months and you know you know [3:02:21] technology itself is the vote [3:02:22] so fast but the I mean it. [3:02:29] Every time. There's an [3:02:31] invention. But the time we get [3:02:32] to come back in 2 months come [3:02:32] up with some of the plants [3:02:36] that we have not talked about [3:02:37] it. So that's just my opinion [3:02:39] but also question for the [3:02:39] mayor and for the rest of the [3:02:45] commission. Doing a specific [3:02:46] direction to city attorney is [3:02:50] up right now what we want to [3:02:51] the more focused on I [3:02:55] mentioned the 3, 7, 3, 4, 2, [3:02:56] 6, 2, and I'm sure probably [3:02:58] listened to that. And that's [3:02:59] the thing. [3:03:03] Regulation about large-scale [3:03:11] data centers on water. Do how [3:03:14] how specific do go right now [3:03:16] right now the city attorney is [3:03:18] in the queue allow and to [3:03:19] answer the question. First 40 [3:03:20] for legality reasons city [3:03:23] attorney. [3:03:34] >> excuse yeah. Show. With as [3:03:35] you know are going my thing [3:03:36] have it, but it's probably a [3:03:41] lot effort within the city [3:03:44] this well because dlc is about [3:03:52] steph if we want start it such [3:03:58] part as I think but for a [3:03:59] start and so we have to decide [3:04:05] where that was the it. [3:04:06] >> and and and that's use so I [3:04:08] think should be some [3:04:14] direction. Feels about it. But [3:04:17] it doesn't become oldest, I [3:04:20] believe because because I'm [3:04:21] going to be like law that [3:04:26] there would well an also I [3:04:30] mean go that route. [3:04:31] >> that would mean that this [3:04:33] could be the first part of [3:04:35] your process moving forward [3:04:36] we're getting but all the [3:04:37] ducks in order what we want to [3:04:39] do this is part of you've [3:04:40] gather in the information on [3:04:41] where we want to go as well so [3:04:42] putting a plan together is [3:04:46] probably states want. [3:04:47] >> but go ahead commissioner, [3:04:48] and and good point there [3:04:51] because that's that's why the [3:04:52] state speak collaborative [3:04:53] process. The first is to come [3:04:55] up with a plan on how we're [3:04:57] going attack this and I don't [3:04:59] disagree city attorney that [3:05:00] there needs to be important [3:05:01] and I should have had that not [3:05:03] just input from this [3:05:04] commission input from the [3:05:07] public input from staff and [3:05:09] import most importantly from [3:05:11] third-party professionals who [3:05:14] have perhaps wall this war [3:05:16] before in other jurisdictions [3:05:18] because I truly do believe [3:05:20] that level of objectivity and [3:05:21] transparency is important here [3:05:24] because have been many [3:05:26] allegations MAY personally I [3:05:31] feel but never last MAY that I [3:05:32] goal to need for objectivity [3:05:33] with regard to the process of [3:05:37] of preparing drafting and [3:05:41] enacting any regulations so [3:05:42] whatever it takes and that's [3:05:43] why this monthly update [3:05:46] process allows us to keep [3:05:51] tweeting process and just to [3:05:52] get you want to be in a [3:05:55] direction as commissioner [3:05:55] petro said they're all lying [3:05:59] areas to wrap our heads around [3:06:00] and you know a lot of [3:06:02] resources to draw from order [3:06:03] to do so you know we don't [3:06:08] know. Today that's why it [3:06:09] needs to be more of a general [3:06:10] direction and then sort of [3:06:11] walk this process forward [3:06:13] expand that as we go. I mean [3:06:18] so making sense. Yeah and as [3:06:18] we have these updates to we [3:06:21] can figure out. You know just [3:06:26] like he says is collaborative. [3:06:26] >> let's say we have another [3:06:27] agenda item saying he brings [3:06:29] it back this is our game plan. [3:06:32] We wanted to study a b and c [3:06:34] and then we know which [3:06:35] departments going to you know [3:06:36] in charge of those studies are [3:06:37] overseeing those studies [3:06:40] getting those studies taking [3:06:41] the reins will be a [3:06:45] collaborative you know. [3:06:46] Initiative between the whole [3:06:47] city working together so yeah [3:06:48] I agree with you we need to [3:06:51] go. General get a game plan [3:06:56] move forward. Anybody else. [3:07:05] City clerk public comment. [3:07:06] >> person I have problems and [3:07:06] the all by samuel and diane [3:07:16] conrad. [3:07:17] >> commission is still too [3:07:18] kind of what I say it's a big [3:07:21] need thank it has to be will [3:07:25] specific. [3:07:29] >> it can't just grouped under [3:07:31] a blanket use industrial heavy [3:07:31] industrial intensive. It's got [3:07:34] to be real specific. It's not [3:07:36] just the hype. The scale. This [3:07:39] other centers too. So we need [3:07:43] to break those down as well if [3:07:43] we really want to be specific [3:07:44] and we really want to cover [3:07:46] the whole gambit you can't [3:07:49] just focus on just the hyper [3:07:50] scales as we have to focus on [3:07:51] the other types of centers [3:07:54] that are out there well. And [3:07:55] have that written into our [3:08:00] cold as well. I appreciate [3:08:01] you're listening to the [3:08:01] citizen me because we need to [3:08:05] be included in this. Also of [3:08:06] course staff and also an [3:08:28] outside entity as well. Once [3:08:29] we've got some kind of the [3:08:29] plan is all that we've got [3:08:29] maybe a first or second draft. [3:08:29] We can then bring it [3:08:29] consultant to look at this and [3:08:29] see you know if everything is [3:08:29] jogging and the citizenry is [3:08:30] protected as well. Not just [3:08:30] the city, but the citizen. So [3:08:30] thank [3:08:37] >> thank want [3:08:40] >> ok guys my name is samuel [3:08:41] turpin given you ordinance [3:08:42] today everything that you guys [3:08:45] are saying appears bo ship.

I toll richard [3:15:35] anderson's previous bosses at [3:15:36] the peace river water [3:15:39] authority. That this wasn't [3:15:41] going to be enough. Expansion [3:15:47] are doing. That they would [3:15:49] need to probably 3 reservoirs. [3:15:54] They didn't the land. I have [3:15:55] to tell everyone of you right [3:15:59] now. I should be getting ready [3:16:03] to fight [3:16:14] >> to city of north port so [3:16:18] show [3:16:19] >> so here's what I want [3:16:20] everybody in the city of north [3:16:24] port to to hear. If this does [3:16:28] it become a hard no. I'm going [3:16:29] get a lot of people to write a [3:16:33] letter. We're going to file a [3:16:33] letter of intent to sue the [3:16:40] city of port. Understand. For [3:16:45] threatening the quality of my [3:16:45] life. [3:16:46] >> the quality my in brother [3:16:50] sister in charlotte county. [3:16:51] >> matter of this is what [3:16:52] we're going to be doing to [3:16:55] every county. [3:16:58] >> her for you are here to [3:17:02] protect us. Just like I [3:17:07] protect every one of you. [3:17:08] Walking down the street he [3:17:23] said hospital. [3:17:25] >> any thank you for the [3:17:27] opportunity to speak because [3:17:30] my concern is that we address [3:17:31] multiple issues really we [3:17:32] recognize that we need to [3:17:34] create an ordinance did [3:17:36] business is permitted uses. We [3:17:39] have to look at not water [3:17:40] issue. But the talks of [3:17:41] commons that are being [3:17:43] released from these data [3:17:44] centers, current construction [3:17:46] is using gas fuel and diesel [3:17:47] fuel generators. Amount of [3:17:48] toxic carvings that are being [3:17:53] emitted has become a deal. A [3:17:54] concern for all communities. [3:17:57] All you have to do is google a [3:18:00] county and you'll see multiple [3:18:00] videos of what they're dealing [3:18:03] with now since 2024 and the [3:18:06] toxic. Missions have produced [3:18:07] and the and the dangerous [3:18:08] aspects of lung cancer and [3:18:11] other things is being treated [3:18:12] there. So when we talk about [3:18:13] state-of-the-art I would like [3:18:16] to make sure that we propose [3:18:17] an ordinance you know going [3:18:18] above state-of-the-art to [3:18:20] number one gas field and [3:18:23] diesel fuel generators and [3:18:24] instead given our state to [3:18:25] demand that these type of [3:18:26] systems use solar and says [3:18:28] they do have to have a [3:18:30] tendency in energy they use [3:18:33] either or magnetic a [3:18:34] generator, so they become [3:18:35] self-sufficient and not [3:18:38] relying on a I also recommend [3:18:40] that we have used evacuation [3:18:42] systems and the generator, a [3:18:43] water and not using or city [3:18:45] water to continue the services [3:18:46] demand that it be in a closed [3:18:47] loop system open mov system [3:18:52] because. Other counties have [3:18:53] already experienced massive [3:18:54] difference in consumption and [3:18:56] those type of systems and to [3:18:57] design such that we're [3:18:59] eliminating noise and we're [3:19:00] eliminating toxic omeish [3:19:02] emissions that come out of so [3:19:03] thank you for the time and [3:19:04] thank you for these [3:19:05] considerations I think it's [3:19:07] really important that we set [3:19:10] these type rules stated but [3:19:11] anybody is doing now because [3:19:12] we need that a new deal see [3:19:13] because we don't have specific [3:19:14] that definition the type of [3:19:14] industry. Thank you. Thank [3:19:23] you. [3:19:29] >> ipm cars for the record. [3:19:29] >> so knowing mostly [3:19:33] whatever's in the uldc there's [3:19:34] 356 pages in the uldc 6 [3:19:35] chapters the only resident [3:19:37] that has read this entire uldc [3:19:39] as robinson that's ending. I [3:19:44] was there for most of it. I do [3:19:44] remember stating that when you [3:19:45] do the rezone I do understand [3:19:48] the need for commercial, [3:19:49] however, when you re zone and [3:19:51] do this uldc you need to do it [3:19:52] responsibly so now here we [3:19:56] are. One of my suggestions is [3:20:00] is you need to bring fpl back [3:20:01] and when you bring of peel [3:20:03] back do not bring the [3:20:03] community person that was [3:20:06] going to calm, they don't know [3:20:07] anything. My husband has over [3:20:10] 40 years of experience and a [3:20:12] large like triple utility [3:20:13] company up in connecticut, so [3:20:13] all these cheddar cheddar [3:20:17] actually went into my brain. [3:20:18] What you need to do is bring [3:20:18] in the actual technical [3:20:24] experts that do the job fpl [3:20:25] you need the guy at the [3:20:27] generating station to let [3:20:29] citizens know exactly how they [3:20:30] expect to generate all this [3:20:32] electricity to bring the you [3:20:35] need the technicians in the [3:20:36] transmission station that [3:20:37] tells us how they're going to [3:20:37] figure out low because it's [3:20:41] going to start once the [3:20:43] customer brings there's best [3:20:44] specs to that engineer that [3:20:48] has the right up that that [3:20:49] work plan they have 2 kids [3:20:50] they've got calculations that [3:20:52] they need to do to do that [3:20:54] load they're going to figure [3:20:56] out exactly how much equipment [3:20:56] this customer needs and [3:20:57] they're going to charge that [3:21:00] customer for that equipment [3:21:01] and then they'll go with that [3:21:02] tell the generating station [3:21:04] how much they need to generate [3:21:05] so that is one of the things I [3:21:08] suggest that when fpl comes [3:21:10] back that's what they bring [3:21:11] they bring those technical [3:21:12] expert back because I know you [3:21:13] guys all had questions about [3:21:16] that and then also with fpl [3:21:19] there's also up protocols that [3:21:24] they have to fall one of the [3:21:26] things that you need to ask is [3:21:28] regarding that equipment so if [3:21:30] you have it for example that [3:21:31] transmission stations out [3:21:32] there in new york sure they've [3:21:34] got this couple numbers out of [3:21:36] the hat they've got 20 [3:21:37] transformers that service, the [3:21:39] city of north port from that [3:21:42] station. So now if you put a [3:21:43] data center and and you bring [3:21:45] in 10 transformers only to [3:21:47] support that that a center [3:21:48] that is centered people paid [3:21:49] for that was transformers [3:21:51] because that's part of [3:21:52] equipment that they need to [3:21:55] pay so it per se we have a [3:21:58] hurricane and all of those 30 [3:22:00] transformers are now destroyed [3:22:02] who pays rules 10 because the [3:22:04] citizen should only pay for [3:22:07] the 20 that service us if if [3:22:08] the hurricane damages, all of [3:22:09] them and that dennis should be [3:22:13] in the before me that they [3:22:14] figure out when they restore [3:22:15] that power and bring that back [3:22:17] they should be responsible for [3:22:17] their 10 it shouldn't be the [3:22:22] citizens paying for. The [3:22:23] entire 30 along with the data [3:22:25] center because now they've [3:22:26] kind their cost has been thank [3:22:31] you. [3:22:34] >> angela years the commission [3:22:37] to adopt strong enforceable [3:22:39] land-use before committing any [3:22:43] project florida's 2026 cs cs [3:22:46] sb 4, 8, now chapter 2026 65, [3:22:46] specifically recognizes that [3:22:49] largely facility such as data [3:22:49] centers creating planning [3:22:53] infrastructure part of [3:22:54] concerns it also preserves [3:22:54] local government authority [3:22:55] over comprehensive planning [3:22:57] and land [3:22:58] development regulation north [3:22:59] port should use protective [3:23:03] residents. A should require [3:23:05] substantial setbacks from [3:23:05] neighborhood schools, parks, [3:23:06] and environmentally sensitive [3:23:10] areas. And forceful noise [3:23:12] limit measured at neighboring [3:23:13] properties disclosure of [3:23:13] monitoring of water [3:23:14] consumption and detailed [3:23:16] information on electricity [3:23:19] demand cooling systems back up [3:23:20] generation and infrastructure [3:23:21] impacts the city must also [3:23:23] protect itself that the [3:23:25] developers projections prove [3:23:26] inaccurate what happened [3:23:27] actual noise water used and [3:23:29] traffic infrastructure needs [3:23:30] or employment to for [3:23:31] substantially from the [3:23:33] promises made during a purple [3:23:33] there must be enforceable [3:23:34] mitigation requirements [3:23:35] ongoing monitoring and [3:23:39] consequences, not simply [3:23:40] assurances. He might impacts [3:23:42] must also be consider multiple [3:23:43] data centers could play [3:23:43] significant demands on north [3:23:44] port's water supply electrical [3:23:46] system roads and [3:23:47] neighborhoods. I urge the [3:23:49] commission to strengthen the [3:23:50] uldc before approving these [3:23:51] facilities and to ensure that [3:23:53] no project can automatically [3:23:54] expand its allowable impacts [3:23:58] intensity water cassidy [3:24:00] without proper without public [3:24:01] notice and commissioner purple [3:24:03] please provide infrastructure [3:24:04] capacity water resources, [3:24:05] environmental protection and [3:24:06] long-term community planning [3:24:06] ahead of expedited [3:24:10] development. Said the good [3:24:12] morning commissioners. My name [3:24:12] is writes, I'm calling in [3:24:14] today with the direct mandate [3:24:16] for this time we demand the [3:24:16] immediate drafting and [3:24:18] enactment a permit wellfield [3:24:18] protection ordinance as [3:24:19] written directly into our [3:24:22] local land development [3:24:24] regulations when senate bill [3:24:25] 4, 8, 4, we're done with the [3:24:25] administrative delays 12 month [3:24:27] study task force or legally [3:24:27] risky moratoriums that trigger [3:24:31] multimillion-dollar developer [3:24:31] lawsuits under the judicial [3:24:32] pending ordinance doctor and [3:24:33] you have the legal author [3:24:35] authority right now to [3:24:36] officially announced you're [3:24:37] tracking these water [3:24:39] protections instantly freezing [3:24:39] any new hyperscale data center [3:24:40] applications from sneaking [3:24:43] into our borders protect hands [3:24:44] use sb for tech florida's [3:24:48] water right now. David I I was [3:24:49] shocked to see if anything is [3:24:51] done on this agenda item that [3:24:53] is meaningful. It doesn't [3:24:54] assign that has been discussed [3:24:55] as neither sustainable nor is [3:24:55] it compatible with how a c 6 [3:24:57] was to find all the water need [3:25:01] to come from the city. How is [3:25:02] that possible with existing [3:25:03] city plans to help system [3:25:06] properties to water the uldc [3:25:08] also needs to be rewritten as [3:25:09] to how it affects the [3:25:10] neighborhoods of north port [3:25:12] truly disgusting work by [3:25:12] development services who [3:25:13] clearly have to guard quality [3:25:17] of life and the residents. The [3:25:19] part of the uldc rewrite and [3:25:20] fletcher's move to eliminate [3:25:22] the commission from its do [3:25:22] legislative function is [3:25:24] already being seen and if not [3:25:25] fixed. Now will have terrible [3:25:26] repercussions on the city as a [3:25:30] place to live. David good [3:25:32] morning commissioners, I'm a [3:25:34] homeowner in north port, I'm [3:25:35] reading today. Pretty direct [3:25:36] mandate. We demand the [3:25:37] immediate drafting and [3:25:38] enactment a permanent [3:25:39] wellfield protection [3:25:40] ordinances right directly into [3:25:40] our local land development [3:25:41] regulations on the florida [3:25:44] senate bill 4, 8, 4, trait of [3:25:46] delays 12 month study task [3:25:47] force were legally risky [3:25:48] moratoriums that trigger [3:25:50] multi-million dollar developer [3:25:51] lawsuit part of that [3:25:52] additional pending ordinance [3:25:52] doctor and you have the legal [3:25:53] authority right now to [3:25:54] officially announce your draft [3:25:56] these water protections [3:25:57] instantly freezing any new [3:25:57] hyperscale data center [3:25:58] applications from sneaking [3:26:00] into our borders, media [3:26:01] attention is needed to protect [3:26:02] our city and it's awful for [3:26:07] him. The should have been in [3:26:09] place before the city manager [3:26:09] MISTER Talks and who knows [3:26:12] what else what data center [3:26:13] representatives owners. It [3:26:15] center's will positive for the [3:26:16] city as residents why the ndi [3:26:18] we don't want center's our [3:26:18] city it's not the answer to [3:26:19] the financial shortfalls or [3:26:20] whatever reason this was [3:26:23] entered into by sting m it [3:26:26] makes absolutely 0 sense [3:26:26] considering water for even the [3:26:27] population is in question we [3:26:30] have no idea what tax breaks [3:26:31] concessions except and what we [3:26:33] are actually want to gain from [3:26:35] it's all this to me is an [3:26:36] outright lie, all the citizens [3:26:38] of north port every animal and [3:26:38] really makes no sense I would [3:26:41] much prefer being sued end up [3:26:43] like flint michigan please [3:26:45] please do whatever is [3:26:46] necessary to centers in our [3:26:47] city, including the [3:26:47] current one sure that and ii I [3:26:54] thank you l. Donna measures, [3:26:55] I'm writing to express my [3:26:56] strong opposition to any [3:26:58] framework under agenda item 26 [3:27:00] dash 1051 that allows [3:27:02] exemptions or grandfather [3:27:03] bought this for industrial [3:27:04] development specifically [3:27:05] pending 896,000 square-foot [3:27:08] your facility to bypass strict [3:27:09] zoning freezes last year the [3:27:10] commission's acknowledgment [3:27:12] that are you know city [3:27:13] completely the necessary [3:27:15] guardrails to manage these [3:27:16] heavy operations any [3:27:19] regulatory updates must be [3:27:20] prepared with a comprehensive [3:27:22] hall active reviews a lot [3:27:23] existing applications to [3:27:24] progress well we scramble to [3:27:25] write the rules defeats the [3:27:27] purpose of levels protections [3:27:28] our community cannot absorb [3:27:29] the severe long-term impacts [3:27:29] of these facilities [3:27:32] infrastructure and utilities [3:27:34] strong these facilities place [3:27:35] monumental demands on [3:27:36] electrical grids and water [3:27:37] resources starting utility [3:27:38] stability and pass to the [3:27:41] residential neighborhoods, [3:27:42] noisy environment and that and [3:27:45] that environmental degradation [3:27:46] when they have industrial [3:27:48] chillers and backup diesel [3:27:49] generators place to [3:27:51] residential and logical [3:27:52] frontal sounds introduces [3:27:54] chronic frequency noise [3:27:55] pollution thermal strain, [3:27:55] minimal local pay off these [3:27:56] facilities operate on massive [3:27:59] footprints that are highly [3:28:01] automated producing negligible [3:28:01] long-term employment [3:28:03] opportunities for north port [3:28:05] residents. Once construction [3:28:07] and I urge the commission to [3:28:08] enforce year for a complete [3:28:10] moratorium on all development [3:28:13] sure but any new uldc land-use [3:28:14] regulations certainly [3:28:16] protect north port [3:28:17] infrastructure natural [3:28:17] resources and neighborhoods [3:28:21] from industrial to petition. [3:28:22] Mayor commissioners I support [3:28:23] ordinance number 2026 dash 25 [3:28:26] and the temporary moratorium [3:28:28] on new expanding a dozen or [3:28:28] days in north port, I'm not [3:28:31] opposed to responsible [3:28:32] development technology or [3:28:33] economic growth, I'm opposed [3:28:34] to making long-term decisions [3:28:35] with potentially significant [3:28:36] consequences before we fully [3:28:38] understand consequences. [3:28:39] Centers are fundamentally [3:28:40] different from the development [3:28:42] port has traditionally planned [3:28:44] for they can play significant [3:28:45] demands of electrical [3:28:46] infrastructure water resources [3:28:47] land and other infrastructure [3:28:48] while potentially creating [3:28:51] relatively few permanent jobs [3:28:53] that does not automatically [3:28:54] make it doesn't port it means [3:28:55] we should know exactly what we [3:28:58] are green to before we agree [3:28:59] to the moratorium give the [3:29:00] city time to answer critical [3:29:02] questions. What are the water [3:29:03] and electric man's who pays [3:29:04] for report of a structure [3:29:05] residents be protected from [3:29:06] noise generators environmental [3:29:09] impacts and incompatible land [3:29:09] uses well as economic benefits [3:29:13] port receive in return. And [3:29:15] what happens at the facility [3:29:17] expands or it use its use [3:29:18] changes question should be [3:29:19] answered through policy before [3:29:19] an application sitting in [3:29:20] front of the commission and [3:29:23] the city is under pressure to [3:29:23] act north port has one [3:29:24] opportunity to establish the [3:29:25] rules be for this type of [3:29:27] development arrives at scale. [3:29:27] Moratorium is not a it's not [3:29:31] until we now I respectfully [3:29:32] urge commission to approve [3:29:33] ordinance 2026 dash 25 and use [3:29:38] this time establish and [3:29:39] forceful standards ensuring [3:29:40] any future center provides a [3:29:40] genuine net benefit to north [3:29:45] port that's residence. Just I [3:29:46] support commission putting [3:29:47] standards in place to prevent [3:29:47] things like data centers and [3:29:50] other unwanted industries. [3:29:51] Imagine if want to [3:29:53] commissioner back to the 3 of [3:29:55] you to put more time into the [3:29:57] uldc you actually commissioner [3:29:58] langdon a previous meeting you [3:29:58] mentioned not having it first [3:30:02] of all fortunately you did you [3:30:04] she backs you to take more [3:30:05] time with the uldc and he [3:30:05] tooth and nail not I think you [3:30:09] guys forget that we go back [3:30:10] and meetings to see who was in [3:30:13] the wrong side things. [3:30:15] Christina that I support and [3:30:16] acting stringent regulations [3:30:17] within the uldc vergara data [3:30:18] centers and expect said [3:30:20] regulations to apply to [3:30:23] applicant for the current are [3:30:23] entered port is not the [3:30:24] appropriate place for a [3:30:25] 900,000 square-foot car [3:30:25] stopped center. [3:30:30] Florida a center in north port [3:30:31] we don't need or want this [3:30:34] technology. We don't have [3:30:36] water to not a single resident [3:30:37] wants to pay extra for we need [3:30:39] more trees not last we don't [3:30:41] want to see or hear the [3:30:42] government says it will [3:30:42] provide peace and safety and [3:30:45] we need to stay ahead of china [3:30:46] and technology we don't want [3:30:46] the surveillance like china [3:30:47] has we don't need a social [3:30:50] credit score like china where [3:30:52] the government controls where [3:30:55] we go and what we and cannot [3:30:55] government control needs to [3:30:56] stop in america, our [3:30:57] forefathers our freedom north [3:30:58] port needs to stop by power [3:30:58] arrive. We [3:31:04] the people. Let I support [3:31:06] putting strict regulations in [3:31:07] place for data center cesar [3:31:07] massive industrial projects [3:31:08] and they should not be allowed [3:31:10] residential areas without [3:31:12] strong setbacks noise limits [3:31:13] creating public port to keep [3:31:14] are proving major projects [3:31:16] that. First worrying about the [3:31:20] impact on residents later [3:31:21] protect the people who are [3:31:24] already here before approving [3:31:27] large-scale development. A [3:31:28] neighbors in massive debt [3:31:28] developer is eyeing our city [3:31:29] and we must stop weak [3:31:32] regulations from destroying [3:31:33] our neighborhoods regarding 26 [3:31:34] dash 1051 we need to demand [3:31:35] that the city commission [3:31:39] that's the absolute strictest [3:31:40] protections possible and are [3:31:41] unified land development [3:31:44] center's eyeing our region [3:31:46] will turn north korea into an [3:31:47] industrial dumping ground [3:31:48] current covid isn't built for [3:31:49] this we need to demand [3:31:50] stricter protections before [3:31:53] any development is approved [3:31:54] massive setbacks keep that far [3:31:56] away from homes neighborhoods [3:31:58] and green spaces strict noise [3:31:58] for a stop to 24 frequency [3:32:02] humming for systems resource [3:32:03] protections tap water and [3:32:04] power use residents are step [3:32:06] the soaring utility bills, no [3:32:07] tax breaks make them pay their [3:32:08] fair share support for local [3:32:10] infrastructure, they exhaust, [3:32:10] let's protect our piece [3:32:11] property values and [3:32:16] environment.

Well. [3:38:12] >> so wait little bit of [3:38:13] background I nondisclosure [3:38:13] agreements are used everywhere [3:38:18] every use. Private sector that [3:38:20] in the public sector they are [3:38:20] there for the purpose [3:38:21] protecting proprietary [3:38:26] information they make sense, I [3:38:29] mean even commissioner a [3:38:32] project and he is entitled to [3:38:33] it and his proprietor [3:38:34] interests in plans should [3:38:39] protected that said I do not [3:38:41] believe any elected any [3:38:45] government anywhere should [3:38:45] ever not know what's going and [3:38:47] for that every commissioner [3:38:51] should be read every nba that [3:38:54] comes before the ones that are [3:38:57] in forward in the future. [3:38:58] Appreciate the fact that when [3:39:04] we're ready that [3:39:05] >> that due to my fellow [3:39:06] commissioners open up this [3:39:08] discussion and see where we go [3:39:09] because we do need to fix this [3:39:12] problem. [3:39:12] >> commissioner petro your [3:39:20] first. Vice mayor you are and [3:39:27] then yes, thank you [3:39:28] >> city attorney. Could you [3:39:28] briefly comment on the [3:39:30] legality of and da's. [3:39:37] >> there's nothing inherently [3:39:37] illegal. You know the schools [3:39:44] are granted. There is statue [3:39:47] that are in the a's to rise [3:39:51] and section 2 88.4 7, 5, [3:39:52] florida statues for that is an [3:39:54] exemption. To the general [3:39:59] public workers requirement is [3:40:02] that records themselves. [3:40:06] Considering sending 4 year. [3:40:07] And for things are days that [3:40:14] could be extended and so [3:40:16] that's where you were has [3:40:18] spent but I what standards are [3:40:25] and then the going have say. I [3:40:31] think probably is and what was [3:40:39] for dollar meant to extended, [3:40:39] you know just into for all [3:40:43] stages for lack a better term [3:40:46] there's illegal about that. [3:40:49] Florida sunshine first it was [3:40:53] just going sign it's just a [3:40:57] matter promising call so you [3:41:00] all about [3:41:05] >> I another question. [3:41:06] >> can the city legally be [3:41:11] selective. And what kinds of [3:41:15] projects are situations. Under [3:41:18] which are in which it well. A [3:41:22] lot when are not allow and [3:41:26] then da so I guess more simply [3:41:27] if someone requests an we [3:41:30] required to get it and it's [3:41:35] not under what circumstances. [3:41:40] >> to go back to statute all [3:41:41] without statue is general and [3:41:48] for raises are coming 4. [3:41:52] That's what the statute [3:41:58] intended for the nba's go for [3:42:02] it. So I don't think that we [3:42:06] would productivity for [3:42:08] limiting that class of [3:42:12] businesses that you would [3:42:12] extend into comply or statute [3:42:13] in terms public records [3:42:25] exemptions. And. And so could [3:42:29] and so you bottle up being the [3:42:30] is however you want ok so was [3:42:34] specific in that question. [3:42:35] >> a data center is allowed [3:42:39] under our is a and allowed use [3:42:40] under our industrial [3:42:45] classification. [3:42:46] >> if we wanted to ban and the [3:42:50] a's on data centers. [3:42:51] >> would we have to do it at [3:42:55] the industrial classification [3:42:58] or could we pick and choose [3:42:58] the title of business or [3:43:01] situation within that [3:43:03] classification to either agree [3:43:04] or disagree to enter into an [3:43:07] nda with that company. [3:43:11] >> is so I think you could. [3:43:17] Decide classification heavy [3:43:19] and all just want date is you [3:43:23] get up and your and sole [3:43:25] always 30 days correct but [3:43:31] that still nod. The business [3:43:35] behind the questing. Exemption [3:43:36] from public records and [3:43:43] statutes. Do themselves could [3:43:44] still exempt from public form [3:43:50] of the law. Other part of that [3:43:53] has such important for you all [3:43:57] years where you have not [3:43:58] there's ethics rule that's [3:44:04] chapter want prohibit is [3:44:05] elected officials say chinese [3:44:10] city for disclosing [3:44:15] information that is not all [3:44:15] that was readily available to [3:44:20] of for personal gain. So in [3:44:20] circumstances even if you're [3:44:25] getting the result, story to [3:44:25] say where the issue came to [3:44:30] me. The your official duties [3:44:40] that they was I told him that [3:44:42] you know that because they [3:44:44] haven't filed in that case [3:44:44] because it's just not and I [3:44:53] told you that. And use that. [3:44:59] Private your. Status as [3:45:01] elected official for private [3:45:07] gain political you sprawl on [3:45:12] chapter want well and so [3:45:13] sometimes that says you know [3:45:14] call whether or there's no [3:45:18] anyway that's what say. [3:45:21] >> that he out of water shows [3:45:26] always the shots are [3:45:26] everything to gain states as [3:45:29] commission to playing ball. [3:45:34] >> and related. From from what [3:45:39] I understand. Staff signs nda [3:45:45] with any company. Every member [3:45:47] of staff and every single [3:45:47] commissioner is bound by that [3:45:53] nda is that correct. [3:45:55] >> I think the nba, you have [3:45:59] place say for reasons that's [3:46:03] because out the 80's self care [3:46:03] about which was commissioned [3:46:09] in 2020 that essentially [3:46:10] authorized the manager to [3:46:11] execute rooms and want send it [3:46:15] go forward. And so yes down [3:46:19] tomorrow. Acquiescence into [3:46:25] law agency. That doesn't mean [3:46:28] you're aging your ceo turning [3:46:29] members to go out and do this [3:46:31] for you and that's how found [3:46:34] by in kind of what the the [3:46:43] question present it has okay. [3:46:45] >> now when you don't have to [3:46:45] be down JUNE 2 you can take [3:46:53] that that. Well. Based what [3:46:54] the product is that we have [3:46:56] place now that that apply over [3:46:59] that's what we have. [3:46:59] >> so. [3:47:09] >> yeah. This body decides. [3:47:10] >> that we be reading into [3:47:15] every nda that the city. Wants [3:47:21] to has engaged I would [3:47:22] certainly recommend that we [3:47:29] signed the nda. Only because I [3:47:31] have a concern well before I [3:47:35] go there what's the penalty. [3:47:38] >> so let's say one of us gets [3:47:41] information with or without an [3:47:44] nda. Let's say was an nda. [3:47:45] >> and we share that [3:47:49] information. A member of the [3:47:52] community. [3:47:54] >> what's the penalty for that [3:47:55] to the city and the [3:48:00] individual. [3:48:10] >> it religion to it statue to [3:48:11] I presented that second in [3:48:17] second degree misdemeanor. If [3:48:19] you do on a think so 30 days [3:48:23] and up to 30 days in jail. Why [3:48:24] would you know things of that [3:48:25] nature so you could be looking [3:48:30] at joe if you want which is [3:48:37] time to act. Both the city [3:48:37] could be looking basement [3:48:43] which contracts too and get [3:48:44] outside the school year duties [3:48:48] as a commissioner violating as [3:48:49] possible could be looking at [3:48:50] individual civil liability and [3:48:53] so it's a double penalty both [3:48:54] to the city and to the [3:48:56] individual who discloses the [3:48:56] information. [3:49:00] >> possibly, yes, possibly. [3:49:01] >> okay, I'll yield for now [3:49:04] thank you for the time. [3:49:05] >> commissioner spoke city [3:49:10] attorney I. I get under the [3:49:14] present agreement and sign [3:49:15] call it is the commission by [3:49:16] virtue of agency I would still [3:49:22] pose vice mayor said that. [3:49:23] Commissioner should be if we [3:49:24] decide to go this route that [3:49:27] all commissioners p not just [3:49:33] bound by it through through. [3:49:34] Illegal definition of agency [3:49:35] but rather actually signed [3:49:36] nba's so that we are on the [3:49:38] hope for them and here's the [3:49:38] other thing I wanted to ask [3:49:44] you. So. We commissioned let's [3:49:45] say our panel they do use [3:49:50] center. And as a good example. [3:49:51] Had we reading on that and [3:49:59] down by it. We didn't disclose [3:50:00] we need to say anything to [3:50:00] anybody [3:50:01] about but what we do is [3:50:06] instruct. [3:50:06] >> you stay you and your staff [3:50:08] we instructed city too. [3:50:15] Relations. To take action. [3:50:20] With regard to. To the project [3:50:23] for which. We had a [3:50:27] confidential information. [3:50:29] Would that reach of the nba or [3:50:35] will we be allowed to do that. [3:50:37] >> mean I didn't say exactly [3:50:38] as clean as should asking [3:50:41] you're if you learn about [3:50:42] something. [3:50:44] >> and then want to stop [3:50:48] project can [3:50:49] >> was that was that was that [3:50:54] it pretty much the question. [3:50:55] >> it's a closer question [3:51:00] again you would be are up is [3:51:01] that issue that I spoke about [3:51:02] are you doing that for [3:51:08] personal are you doing that [3:51:11] because there is so great good [3:51:12] that's involved probably good. [3:51:17] I think you problem. Don't [3:51:18] think [3:51:18] that there's anything in the [3:51:25] he so could say. During that [3:51:29] would be breach of contract [3:51:30] >> look about the so so let [3:51:34] let me restate this. So had we [3:51:37] all be very have we know how [3:51:45] this state sen. And directed [3:51:46] staff to regulations and that [3:51:54] regulation. Instead to hearing [3:51:59] you saying we're probably not. [3:52:00] Homes or not liable under the [3:52:09] nda. Well with that we bus [3:52:14] line will asked. Commissioners [3:52:15] and more of the city to the [3:52:19] apple again [3:52:20] cool we question of the school [3:52:24] and then but the I mean you [3:52:29] see what I'm asking. [3:52:29] >> it's a closer question I [3:52:34] think you're I think you're I [3:52:35] think the city will probably [3:52:39] not liable. And it's [3:52:39] individual commissioner [3:52:46] probably not labeled either. [3:52:50] >> got question. [3:52:54] >> let's say. That we took the [3:52:54] stand today and we made a [3:52:58] motion. And we put it back to [3:53:02] where it only follow state [3:53:03] statute. The public records [3:53:03] part you know we go back to [3:53:07] the original on board. And [3:53:09] then the it comes in because [3:53:09] nobody's touched on this part [3:53:10] of it because not only did the [3:53:15] commission. Not know about it [3:53:17] neither did the citizens so [3:53:17] when nba would happen to come [3:53:22] in. Holding off on all the [3:53:26] public records. But would we [3:53:29] be allowed to discuss up here [3:53:31] on the dias be agenda item [3:53:33] saying hey guess what this [3:53:34] individual has put application [3:53:37] for x y and z. We want to have [3:53:38] a discussion on it, but yeah, [3:53:41] I know public records are [3:53:42] available. But can discussion [3:53:43] take place to get to citizens [3:53:44] on board as early as possible [3:53:51] as well. A couple months ago [3:53:54] and there's no clear what the [3:53:56] attorney general the paintings [3:54:01] I believe. [3:54:04] >> 2005 2007 dress that issue [3:54:10] saying that the public records [3:54:14] exemption does not shoe show a [3:54:17] law so what that would be to [3:54:19] take that concluded state was [3:54:24] inclusion and then probably [3:54:29] hearing all of the staff of ad [3:54:33] about the the problem that you [3:54:37] MAY get injunction for. But [3:54:42] again all that because real [3:54:43] has addressed attorney general [3:54:47] and those [3:54:48] >> kind the world as you on [3:54:49] and just to take it just a [3:54:50] little bit further and I'm not [3:54:53] saying that once the [3:54:54] commission got the information [3:54:55] they're going to go out and [3:54:57] blab it all over the place [3:54:58] let's just say commissioner [3:54:59] had talk with the citizen [3:55:01] about hey guess what you know [3:55:05] casual conversation this is [3:55:05] what's common. Now a citizenry [3:55:09] has found out about that out [3:55:11] there and now they're [3:55:12] demanding answers and you know [3:55:13] saying hey we want to talk [3:55:13] about this then we could put [3:55:17] it on the agenda to enlighten [3:55:18] with whatever information we [3:55:19] have regardless you know [3:55:21] exempting the public record so [3:55:24] I'm just trying to get this to [3:55:25] where we have open playing [3:55:25] field to work gets everybody [3:55:34] involved. Possibly in the [3:55:37] future I'm that clear ones you [3:55:38] go west turn general. That's [3:55:41] it's okay point [3:55:41] >> well when have dinner with [3:55:45] him haha. [3:55:47] >> commissioner euro. Thank [3:55:50] you [3:55:54] >> I did not prepare for this [3:55:56] agenda I just want to see [3:55:57] cussing goals because they [3:55:59] don't know what nothing on the [3:56:02] part of the agenda item but it [3:56:03] kinda for waited a couple [3:56:04] questions as we. Were [3:56:12] conversing here. Generally [3:56:12] speaking that public not a [3:56:18] bomb nda. Having you know and [3:56:19] the is a common practice [3:56:23] course business conducting [3:56:24] business but [3:56:28] the government and that and [3:56:29] specifically protect [3:56:35] proprietary. Secrets. And it's [3:56:36] a good point you know with the [3:56:41] specific. Point that we're [3:56:42] discussing and it is senate [3:56:44] right. I think there was so [3:56:51] much secrecy that. You know we [3:56:52] but this and you we all but [3:56:57] this nda. Which is kind of [3:56:57] ironic project of this [3:57:01] magnitude. You know the fact [3:57:01] that all of us. [3:57:07] Its own rules I can say almost [3:57:12] certain that it was done [3:57:13] purpose and by design to this [3:57:16] commission from this project. [3:57:20] And all we had to be. We're [3:57:25] going just over 5. But not. [3:57:33] And we're here. But I want [3:57:34] this question. So let's say do [3:57:38] this that we have to sign. And [3:57:39] personally as public officials [3:57:42] or elected officials. By [3:57:46] contrast to of the state of [3:57:50] U.S. Constitution. And I think [3:57:51] probably by the florida [3:57:52] constitution which have not [3:57:54] looked into it. I can say all. [3:57:57] And you know, I'm not going [3:58:04] sign it. If I had it. Also my [3:58:06] own. You know, I'm decisions [3:58:13] so there is a. There is a way [3:58:14] saying no and yes, my in the [3:58:16] correct me if I'm wrong. City [3:58:18] attorney my question now. So [3:58:22] if we come to that conclusion [3:58:23] that let let's fold and we've [3:58:26] opened by majority. Okay we're [3:58:26] going to have to sign it [3:58:29] personally. Do we have this [3:58:30] ability not to sign it [3:58:35] constitutionally. [3:58:36] >> I don't think that's [3:58:36] constitutional question I [3:58:38] think it's a question for the [3:58:41] border. 2 to one side not. I [3:58:47] don't constitutional. And [3:58:48] that's to deter news for [3:58:49] correct commissioner us [3:58:51] constitution not have to sign. [3:58:52] >> and the way to that's you [3:58:59] know. Right to. Freedom of [3:59:00] speech if you will to school [3:59:04] secret so. Whatever project [3:59:09] that is it. [3:59:09] >> so asking would you put [3:59:14] show speech. What I understand [3:59:17] question trying to get its. [3:59:21] Not easy answer. [3:59:28] >> it's just ask a follow-up [3:59:31] question to your back to the [3:59:32] conversation, yes, out keep [3:59:32] quiet after I get an answer to [3:59:35] this. But a follow-up. [3:59:36] >> commissioner petros [3:59:38] question. [3:59:42] >> whether or not. [3:59:44] >> we individually sign and [3:59:48] then da. My understanding is [3:59:54] we're to it. [3:59:54] >> by by virtue of the [4:00:09] intention. Having is correct. [4:00:10] >> the last part of sounds are [4:00:11] somewhat say a project is [4:00:14] coming and we we change our [4:00:14] policies. The commissioners [4:00:19] get ready and whenever every [4:00:20] time it and the a's executed [4:00:24] we're notified. And maybe our [4:00:27] policy is. We should if we're [4:00:31] going to be ready we should [4:00:38] sign. But my understanding is [4:00:40] whether or not we personally [4:00:40] signed that nda were still [4:00:44] bound by it. [4:00:45] >> guess another way of saying [4:00:46] what you're saying. Vice mayor [4:00:51] is [4:00:52] >> if you're not able to know. [4:01:00] >> once. Not not to be [4:01:00] disclosed. [4:01:03] >> so if you are that candice [4:01:04] co uk is low, so that you [4:01:10] don't know. So you what to not [4:01:17] be ready then you can goals [4:01:18] what you don't know and think [4:01:19] that's where whole issue about [4:01:26] being found friend. Who you. [4:01:27] It's so cold you something you [4:01:30] don't answer is all for and I [4:01:37] don't does not well were not [4:01:42] >> if you decided to use you [4:01:45] know that the or whatever and [4:01:52] he said yes there is a space [4:01:57] and you can't just the entire [4:01:59] organization has been about it [4:02:05] is that it of your all about [4:02:05] including commission. Just you [4:02:07] can't say something and you [4:02:09] don't so where we saw a where [4:02:16] are you. It hold we'll [4:02:19] resolution whether all. [4:02:24] >> that specific issue. Go [4:02:25] ahead and we still got to go [4:02:28] back know we're heading c. [4:02:29] >> you mentioned something [4:02:30] about the legal doctrine of [4:02:36] agency. So to city signs that [4:02:37] nda and we don't execute that [4:02:42] nda. She read it we we MAY be [4:02:43] best known soon jumping from [4:02:48] it. Every project. That's [4:02:51] forth before this say is run [4:02:56] by commission. The [4:02:58] administrative approval [4:03:00] process changes so that every [4:03:04] single project comes pest is [4:03:05] poor. We did that become aware [4:03:09] of projects that MAY well be. [4:03:09] Covered by so the question [4:03:14] then if we talk about if we [4:03:16] share information that was [4:03:20] that that that were made aware [4:03:21] of then you know what sort of [4:03:22] legal jeopardy or is there a [4:03:25] legal jeopardy. I'm sort of [4:03:26] seeing where commissioner [4:03:32] petrus perspective is let's [4:03:33] just do away with nba's and [4:03:37] let's just do and reversed the [4:03:38] administrative approval [4:03:39] process in the area that [4:03:42] allows. In minutes straight of [4:03:50] approval to be without a [4:03:51] public without transparency [4:03:53] inclusiveness make every [4:03:53] project come before the city [4:03:54] in a public setting so the [4:03:55] public and the commission [4:03:57] knows about it. That I don't [4:04:00] see how anybody has any [4:04:02] problems anywhere. And the [4:04:03] only thing that binds any [4:04:06] information is under the state [4:04:07] law that that controls public [4:04:11] records disclosure. That would [4:04:13] be cleaner and get all off the [4:04:20] hook and. Spotlight on all [4:04:21] this stuff. Back to [4:04:23] commissioner petro thank you [4:04:24] mayor. You've got ask what I [4:04:27] was going say. [4:04:29] >> so let's say for example [4:04:30] and that's just an example [4:04:35] data center and the 8. It was [4:04:35] not appropriate story davis [4:04:39] that today is right. So when [4:04:43] the public records request was [4:04:44] I think the didn't get it [4:04:45] until like 2 days after the [4:04:50] exo meaning. The discussion of [4:04:51] data center which was JULY [4:04:56] 21st, I believe so. You know [4:05:01] some the base for example. [4:05:02] Could you know that location [4:05:04] maybe it. It's not [4:05:09] proprietary. But some are [4:05:11] trying cut rates for example. [4:05:16] You know. Could be and if we [4:05:18] had known that is about this [4:05:23] project we could still do. You [4:05:23] know talk about it but not [4:05:26] saying what exactly or. But [4:05:35] they're more concisely. So [4:05:36] it's transparent. It should be [4:05:39] secrets from pollock unless [4:05:44] it's a proprietary so [4:05:45] education came in JULY 20 I [4:05:49] believe. And the the public [4:05:52] request was still pending. [4:05:57] Proving the review. She was [4:06:03] correct me from front row. [4:06:03] Repressed was asking if there [4:06:04] is occasional submitted or [4:06:09] not. That thing proprietor so [4:06:13] that my question. We shouldn't [4:06:17] be hiding you know, and you [4:06:18] read the nba if this data set [4:06:22] some of them was basic stop [4:06:25] that was most of it was a [4:06:26] basic stop. So my question is [4:06:28] to to concur with commissioner [4:06:31] storms kind of a because he [4:06:34] expended to what extent. [4:06:41] >> and then new should be. [4:06:41] >> about the entire project [4:06:42] above everything proprietary [4:06:52] stall. So that's my question. [4:06:53] And I guess could discuss the [4:06:54] actual regulations in a public [4:06:55] setting for data center. We [4:07:02] went out disclosing any fender [4:07:02] develop size of project I'm [4:07:05] you know that will be [4:07:05] discussed publicly that we [4:07:09] would not violated any of nda. [4:07:10] But specific to this project [4:07:15] that was cat purpose. In [4:07:16] citrus, even from the [4:07:17] commission and that's not [4:07:18] right and I guess what the [4:07:20] next agenda item. If it's [4:07:25] first. The commission would be [4:07:26] well aware of all the projects [4:07:27] like this or projects they [4:07:32] have the 80's. Don't know I [4:07:33] mean my point very clear but [4:07:36] so that's where I stand. But [4:07:38] it's up to the board and I'm [4:07:41] willing to engaging for that [4:07:42] discussion. But what conclude [4:07:48] with this. If there's should [4:07:48] be specific to extent there's [4:07:55] and data centers and not vice [4:07:56] to any community, you know [4:07:58] it's you know they they come [4:08:01] almost states virtually where [4:08:03] the land is a bubble, [4:08:07] especially cheap went. But 2 [4:08:10] home from the public [4:08:10] purposefully so they can get [4:08:13] the application in. I don't [4:08:14] think it's right I don't think [4:08:16] it's. Even medical to say the [4:08:20] least. I think and I made my [4:08:25] post facebook rant got a lot [4:08:25] of responses. But I think [4:08:28] we've to fail to our citizens. [4:08:31] Overall as a city this. [4:08:36] Obviously there were some. [4:08:36] Proprietary secrets that [4:08:42] should been kept. Over in the [4:08:42] to that to this extent what we [4:08:50] did it. I think it's not. As a [4:08:51] cold to say the least and I [4:08:52] think we ourselves a [4:08:53] disservice and the road to [4:08:55] citizens trust. And the [4:08:59] public. Officials which part [4:09:05] of and so. As a government [4:09:09] overall and in general, and [4:09:10] I'm not speaking against nba's [4:09:14] I'm speaking about the actual. [4:09:14] You know implementation of [4:09:22] nba's and how treat it. I read [4:09:26] document that was adopted in [4:09:27] FEBRUARY of 2021 which not [4:09:31] part of the board. We can take [4:09:35] a look at and see to what [4:09:40] extent we should be bob ended. [4:09:41] But if you did anything about [4:09:42] the project helping we be [4:09:46] bound by nba. Those are my. [4:09:50] $0.2 I this is the agenda [4:09:51] that. Commissioner still [4:09:56] brought it. So I want to hear [4:09:58] the no further discussion and [4:09:59] possible motion. What he [4:10:02] intends to do. [4:10:04] >> thank you mayor and [4:10:05] commissioner duval thank you [4:10:10] >> schools. The city these [4:10:18] lands. And it really colony. [4:10:19] >> also goal is services and [4:10:22] so is. We want to drill for [4:10:25] oil on city property. [4:10:29] >> and we wanted to be a. No [4:10:33] we've been going through I [4:10:36] would suggest we say no we not [4:10:42] an nda. As commissioner stolz [4:10:47] was already alluded to. Got [4:10:56] the city. Really call because [4:10:58] here it says I want drill in [4:10:59] the game. Although the bell [4:11:05] services tell all the the 5 [4:11:10] commissioners make a decision. [4:11:12] Whether to keep all if we can [4:11:17] do to media must also. So [4:11:22] inclined to say. If you want [4:11:29] business with the city will [4:11:35] baseball no reason experience. [4:11:42] Being the spending I so can [4:11:46] agree with that. [4:11:50] >> that's thank you. Vice [4:11:54] >> yeah just a couple of I [4:12:00] understand that if. A company [4:12:02] a business and that he is [4:12:04] sharing proprietary secrets [4:12:09] with city staff. I'm hearing [4:12:10] that there wouldn't be an [4:12:11] objection necessarily to that [4:12:19] and ga. But I also know coming [4:12:21] from a world where and da's [4:12:22] are in every day a car and [4:12:23] time out of high tech. [4:12:28] >> and. [4:12:33] >> and the a's are just about [4:12:33] proprietary information when [4:12:34] and software companies would [4:12:37] come to us to share their [4:12:44] business plans. A lot of times [4:12:46] that in and of itself so not [4:12:49] technology secrets but their [4:12:50] business plans because of the [4:12:53] competitive exposure. Of that. [4:12:55] >> so. [4:13:01] >> to connect to the job. [4:13:02] We're spending as a city a lot [4:13:05] of effort trying to attract. [4:13:11] Companies from coming here. We [4:13:12] want jobs. We we want to [4:13:15] expand our commercial [4:13:16] footprint we want to help [4:13:18] alleviate some of the tax [4:13:20] burden from homes all of those [4:13:23] are wonderful things. And if [4:13:28] we throw and the a's. What [4:13:29] does that do to the likelihood [4:13:34] of companies that we all agree [4:13:35] we want to have come here [4:13:38] because of the economic [4:13:38] benefits. But they refused [4:13:43] because we protect their [4:13:46] business plans. Let's be real [4:13:48] careful. What we're trying to [4:13:49] do here as we could shoot [4:13:57] themselves both feet. By doing [4:13:59] this. [4:13:59] >> and I mean one things that [4:14:02] has come to my mind and this. [4:14:04] >> whole thrashing of the [4:14:09] whole data center thing. [4:14:12] Personally I believe there's [4:14:13] some and talking about heavy [4:14:16] industrial sector. Because I [4:14:22] think it's those. Time so [4:14:23] businesses that are most [4:14:28] likely to have a negative [4:14:28] impact on the environment all [4:14:33] all of those things. Maybe [4:14:34] those of the kinds of [4:14:40] projects. We don't want to [4:14:44] shield from the public. So I'm [4:14:48] just throwing that out as one [4:14:49] opportunity I I just don't [4:14:52] think I could support throwing [4:14:55] out and the a's in a blanket [4:14:59] way because it very well could [4:15:00] prevent it. The kinds of [4:15:01] companies we would all agree [4:15:04] we want to have come here [4:15:06] because we won't protect their [4:15:07] business plans. So let's [4:15:10] really think carefully about [4:15:14] how we might want to manage [4:15:19] and he is and I have couple of [4:15:21] basic blocking and tackling [4:15:22] questions around and the a's [4:15:23] and I say that MISTER Mayor [4:15:24] men has left which is [4:15:29] unfortunate. I'm just curious. [4:15:33] On average how many and the [4:15:33] a's does the city signed any [4:15:41] year. And similar to the data [4:15:43] center I I think we executed [4:15:44] that nda way in advance of [4:15:47] actually filing an [4:15:49] application. So my second [4:15:51] question is how often does the [4:15:54] nda and the application kind [4:15:55] of happened together at or [4:15:59] within a short period of time. [4:15:59] And how often does it really [4:16:05] separated. By length of time [4:16:06] we saw in the data center [4:16:10] example, and I see. Missed [4:16:11] larry is slowly and [4:16:12] reluctantly coming to the [4:16:25] podium. [4:16:25] >> good afternoon lori bonds [4:16:29] deputy director of development [4:16:30] services in the last 4 and a [4:16:31] half years the city has [4:16:35] entered into 3 different [4:16:36] nondisclosure agreements, I'm [4:16:38] one of those projects did not [4:16:42] progress to the point of a [4:16:45] formal application. One and [4:16:48] one is under the nda and we [4:16:48] don't have information as to [4:16:51] when they are applying. [4:16:53] >> generally projects MAY said [4:16:59] matt. A formal application [4:17:00] before the expiration of their [4:17:03] and in my experience by the [4:17:03] time they get to the formal [4:17:08] approval. Stage those and the [4:17:11] a's have generally expired [4:17:12] imagine trying to conduct [4:17:15] quasi judicial hearing. For a [4:17:18] project that is under a [4:17:19] nondisclosure agreement. So [4:17:20] usually by the time they are [4:17:27] ready to. Get to their final [4:17:27] approval stages. They have [4:17:30] tied up there and users and. [4:17:35] Finalize their plans so that [4:17:38] the need for the nda is no [4:17:39] longer a pressing right [4:17:41] because and progress things [4:17:44] are of locked and the [4:17:45] opportunity for a competitor [4:17:49] to come in. [4:17:50] >> and derail that project is [4:17:50] over correct okay, thank you [4:17:56] for that. I'm going to yield [4:17:57] at this point but I want to [4:17:59] come back. [4:18:05] >> stokes. [4:18:06] >> you know I started by [4:18:08] saying that you know nba's or [4:18:09] something that we see in the [4:18:10] private sector we see in the [4:18:11] public sector MAY seem to be [4:18:16] out there. But I do [4:18:16] fundamental concern and that's [4:18:17] that I think there's a [4:18:19] fundamental difference between [4:18:24] government and private sector. [4:18:26] Ok, and the difference I see [4:18:27] is we are elected by were [4:18:28] elected to represent the [4:18:31] citizens of this city and for [4:18:32] any elected body not to know [4:18:33] what's going on is a big [4:18:38] problem for me and for anybody [4:18:39] not to know what's going now I [4:18:42] appreciate he that are [4:18:44] reluctant to come do business [4:18:45] with the city unless they can [4:18:49] prepare protect their [4:18:49] proprietary rights but many [4:18:50] cases it might be they also [4:18:53] want to protect their idea. So [4:18:54] that someone else doesn't jump [4:18:59] in to compete with them. But [4:19:00] that said I think healthy [4:19:01] competition is good especially [4:19:02] when talking about the [4:19:03] citizens tax dollars that [4:19:04] we're prepared to maybe spend [4:19:08] ward contributed to a product. [4:19:10] So why intend to make a motion [4:19:11] to do away with and the a's [4:19:15] and the say and see where sits [4:19:16] on that because I just don't [4:19:21] see need for and I think that [4:19:23] day they contrary to the [4:19:24] concept of transparency and [4:19:24] inclusiveness I think we have [4:19:27] a problem with city and I [4:19:28] think it's time to start [4:19:32] fixing some of stuff and this [4:19:34] is something that if we lose [4:19:37] the deal here there will also [4:19:39] be in to be if there's a [4:19:40] business doesn't want come [4:19:41] here because they're so zones [4:19:44] going to compete with to and [4:19:46] yet they have a primary [4:19:48] information that they submit [4:19:51] that's protected in my opinion [4:19:55] under the state law for public [4:19:58] records. So they're kind [4:19:59] project in there, but cost of [4:20:00] the idea for us not to be able [4:20:03] to share the and for everyone [4:20:05] know what just runs contrary [4:20:07] to the concept of good [4:20:08] governance and transparent [4:20:11] governance I mean the sunshine [4:20:12] laws were passed so that we do [4:20:16] business behind closed doors. [4:20:18] And yet because and the a's [4:20:23] and administrative approvals. [4:20:24] There's been around here where [4:20:25] now this stuff can get it done [4:20:32] behind not only the you know [4:20:34] that commission's back I just [4:20:35] think that's a problem and I [4:20:38] don't use and budget purposely [4:20:40] doing anything nefarious I [4:20:42] just think that this is the [4:20:45] manipulation of legislation [4:20:46] that's taking place over time [4:20:46] and we have the ability to fix [4:20:53] so I say we fix it to where [4:20:53] nba's and fix the approval [4:20:56] process thank you commissioner [4:20:57] petro. [4:21:04] >> almost and want to could 7 [4:21:08] that I'm not going repeat [4:21:09] that. But one state kind going [4:21:15] specifics. Trade secrets think [4:21:18] that I remember one of the [4:21:20] economic could open to updates [4:21:27] we had director said that. You [4:21:27] know there's still coming to [4:21:32] this section of our city and [4:21:32] she said the box store and we [4:21:33] were like what is it what is [4:21:35] the thing she said well I can [4:21:39] say it's a trace it could [4:21:40] basically time you it's like [4:21:41] submitting the application [4:21:45] with the fast food and city or [4:21:50] whatever. Chain or restaurant. [4:21:51] Box store. Did I have to [4:21:58] provide specifics. To that. So [4:21:59] basically same thing [4:22:01] commissioner stokes that lets [4:22:05] get away from them a lot of [4:22:06] people you know I and they [4:22:08] want to be protecting thinking [4:22:10] the plant under different a [4:22:11] little cnn, nobody always [4:22:17] cool. To hide it from the [4:22:20] commission that would be [4:22:20] prevented from making the [4:22:24] proper choices or well [4:22:25] informed decision that I don't [4:22:27] think it's correct. So. And [4:22:28] again if you do the business [4:22:34] with the government. This [4:22:38] courage to be transparent. [4:22:40] Because government and 2 [4:22:41] different things and we as [4:22:45] public officials. Transparency [4:22:48] that's comes thank you man. [4:22:52] >> I mayor. [4:22:56] >> yeah just a couple law [4:22:59] comments. We all want [4:23:00] competition our economy is [4:23:01] built on it we want to have [4:23:09] choice with shop where to [4:23:11] we're not. But when a company [4:23:13] is investing significant [4:23:14] resources and engineering [4:23:16] planning building plans. [4:23:24] >> order to build here. I that [4:23:26] is a totally different [4:23:26] situation. [4:23:31] >> and 2. [4:23:31] >> protect their business [4:23:36] plans under an nda it part of [4:23:37] the reason in addition to [4:23:41] proprietary information. And [4:23:46] da's exist. It's to encourage [4:23:50] that kind development and to [4:23:53] prevent unfair competition. [4:23:57] That causes. A company to say [4:23:58] ok. I'm don [4:24:05] haha you block my plans all [4:24:08] creation and now a direct [4:24:09] competitor of my this [4:24:10] competing for that same [4:24:12] property are whatever the [4:24:12] objection I I kind of agree [4:24:17] to it. [4:24:18] >> now a conversation about [4:24:22] how we might want to modify [4:24:25] our nda if we decide as a body [4:24:28] we want to be read into and [4:24:29] the a's and be to them I'm [4:24:35] open to that conversation. [4:24:36] >> I'm sorry I I can support [4:24:41] throwing out and the a's. [4:24:42] >> as whole block, it's not in [4:24:47] the best interest of city. It [4:24:48] is not in the best interest of [4:24:49] our economic development is [4:24:55] not in the best interest. Here [4:24:57] and helping to soften the tax [4:24:58] burden on homeowners I cannot [4:25:02] it. I yield. [4:25:05] >> commissioner ball know [4:25:14] thank you the boulder. Coast [4:25:21] to the city. And we say to if [4:25:23] you had a prior period [4:25:23] information. [4:25:25] >> you do not want make [4:25:30] schools that do not all. If [4:25:36] you do not or questions. In [4:25:42] your application process. [4:25:43] Gives all safeguards. We need [4:25:45] for our community that we will [4:26:00] decline replication. [4:26:01] >> and brief and make it very [4:26:02] brief because removing on [4:26:10] emotions. Thank you mayor. [4:26:16] >> few minutes ago hearing [4:26:17] that for as long anybody can [4:26:20] remember there's been. [4:26:23] >> 3 and the a's and I would [4:26:24] say if we have the least known [4:26:26] about one of them. Our [4:26:30] situation today might be [4:26:31] slightly different. So I know [4:26:32] probably couldn't said it [4:26:34] better MISTER Duvall just said [4:26:38] and so you know I stand firmly [4:26:39] behind my position anyway [4:26:46] that's it essentially brought [4:26:46] city manager weaker and I [4:26:47] think larry was up here and [4:26:49] she currently we have to. Nda [4:26:55] is in place currently. And [4:26:56] that would it always up 30th [4:27:00] and we will not be exercising [4:27:01] the right to extend that based [4:27:02] on today's conversation and [4:27:02] will give you that information [4:27:06] as well. [4:27:08] >> okay because the reason I [4:27:10] ask is because commissioner [4:27:13] starts when we started this [4:27:14] said that. Commissioner petros [4:27:17] brother was involved in one. [4:27:18] The reason I'm asking about [4:27:21] that was that. What I was [4:27:22] reading about in your [4:27:26] valuation. That's going to [4:27:33] come out yes the 22nd because [4:27:34] there are some very serious [4:27:35] stuff and that and I think [4:27:36] we're going to have a [4:27:39] discussion on that on the [4:27:40] 22nd. [4:27:45] >> yes, there project you know [4:27:50] based on what you hear today. [4:27:52] >> more going to be inability [4:27:52] to respect what they are what [4:27:55] they do so those things I [4:27:55] don't think today is the time [4:27:58] to discuss that part of it so. [4:28:05] >> open it up for a motions. [4:28:06] >> from a family sent a [4:28:10] followed by sam samuel place [4:28:17] of rest him ours. [4:28:21] >> take discussion across the [4:28:22] >> city attorney thank you [4:28:24] because you have a lot of this [4:28:25] stuff. Lot of questions asked [4:28:29] you I was going stay as well [4:28:29] so get rid of half of my [4:28:31] comment which is great. You [4:28:32] know you guys have that [4:28:36] discretion. Whether you want [4:28:36] to do an nda or you don't want [4:28:41] to do an nda. [4:28:42] >> you have the discretion to [4:28:43] just make an ordinance that is [4:28:44] within the commission's [4:28:44] purview. [4:28:46] >> to make that decision you [4:28:48] can take it away [4:28:49] administratively and put it in [4:28:53] your pool of curfew. And the [4:28:55] a's are all over the place so [4:28:56] yeah, maybe sometimes an nda [4:28:58] is ok depending upon what type [4:28:58] of nda and what they're asking [4:29:01] for. And that again is in with [4:29:05] discretion. You know the only [4:29:06] way to handle it that I'm [4:29:11] saying. Take it away [4:29:12] administratively and put it in [4:29:14] the purview of the commission [4:29:14] and it has to come before you [4:29:17] whether you want to do. You [4:29:18] know do want to with this [4:29:22] particular business you don't. [4:29:23] So one of choices taken away [4:29:23] permanently or use your [4:29:26] discretion. That's your [4:29:41] purview. Thank you [4:29:43] >> under transparency laws [4:29:44] like chapter 1, 1, 9 public [4:29:45] records act and sunshine the [4:29:49] rule is absolute city manager [4:29:52] or staff member can signed a [4:29:52] private contract that ever [4:29:58] stay realities of passes all [4:30:02] city manager and city staff [4:30:04] includes private developer [4:30:07] utility provider center [4:30:08] corporation as a city manager [4:30:09] economic development director [4:30:13] sign an nda before presenting [4:30:13] a project that agreement [4:30:15] cannot bypass public. Records [4:30:22] request. The custodian of [4:30:23] records the city manager and [4:30:26] staff custodians of the [4:30:28] public's information and [4:30:29] tractor one 19 any document [4:30:31] text message or email [4:30:35] generated by city manager or [4:30:36] staff any business [4:30:37] automatically becomes public [4:30:43] record. Commissioner end of [4:30:43] the year should you spoke to [4:30:51] us to time keep look at [4:30:52] because you are and then the [4:30:53] second that is that would be [4:30:59] close afternoon. [4:31:04] >> your tell you. [4:31:04] >> that MISTER Starts [4:31:05] commissioner stops for good me [4:31:10] correct sir. MISTER Duvall [4:31:11] commissioner default forgive [4:31:13] me, I'm sorry you're correct [4:31:16] as well know, you to have [4:31:20] child you right here that the [4:31:21] city manager years as a order [4:31:24] to keep that information from [4:31:27] the diocese are really that [4:31:28] stupid that we just have the [4:31:29] stand that we elected [4:31:37] officials todd. So they're [4:31:41] trying to sit there and show. [4:31:51] The top sent not that MAY [4:31:56] cause your very disrespectful [4:32:06] mentioned you has this is not [4:32:13] private enterprise we knew it. [4:32:16] Responsibility is center not [4:32:20] it does nets. Led it that's [4:32:22] just a fact that's what law [4:32:29] is. If you want to the in the [4:32:30] beginning everybody what be [4:32:32] here listening to an hour of [4:32:32] trade at. [4:32:33] >> when you can literally look [4:32:34] it up and find out what the [4:32:35] law is I yield my time. Thank [4:32:45] you. [4:32:46] >> well I don't believe and [4:32:47] the a's are extremely bad [4:32:51] business they. Make people [4:32:52] feel that there's something [4:32:55] bad about it that you're [4:32:56] hiding something it is just [4:32:57] poor business practice. And [4:33:03] instead I really do believe [4:33:03] that all applications we [4:33:04] should have the ability to [4:33:05] review the application to make [4:33:08] sure it's it's compliant. It's [4:33:11] a far company our community [4:33:11] that something we want with [4:33:13] our community I think there's [4:33:14] anything technology wise or [4:33:15] otherwise that is anything [4:33:16] surprising nowadays. But I [4:33:19] would like to recommend that [4:33:21] instead that will you reject [4:33:23] the ability to use in da's [4:33:24] that you allow applicant under [4:33:29] florida statute, one 19 the [4:33:29] ability to request the [4:33:32] redaction of their name their [4:33:32] address and other information [4:33:35] so just give them an ability [4:33:36] if they want to propose an [4:33:36] application just given the [4:33:38] ability redact information [4:33:39] names are banking anything [4:33:43] under section one 19. This way [4:33:44] and allows the community to [4:33:45] still know about the project [4:33:46] investigate we've lost a [4:33:48] year's worth the time. [4:33:50] Developing. Environmental [4:33:53] controls to protect us and [4:33:57] this whole nda thing. Has [4:33:58] really tainted this commission [4:34:00] that really has for the [4:34:01] community, it's very very sad. [4:34:02] So it's poor business practice [4:34:03] and I think it needs to be [4:34:04] abolished and eliminate that [4:34:15] thank you I thank you. [4:34:16] >> panto cars in the core [4:34:18] someone offer the workaround [4:34:19] this is procedure it's not [4:34:24] with the ordinance what if the [4:34:24] city manager just had during [4:34:28] his one-on-one conversations [4:34:29] with you hey I think it might [4:34:33] be a good idea if the [4:34:33] commissioner decides the [4:34:34] commission decides to maybe [4:34:36] discuss data centers because [4:34:37] at the time back in FEBRUARY [4:34:38] or MARCH it was starting to be [4:34:40] a hot topic with the arcadia [4:34:43] this way the city manager [4:34:44] does not violate his nba that [4:34:49] he had signed you guys don't [4:34:50] anything is coming but you [4:34:51] could have the conversation [4:34:53] because it was already out in [4:34:54] the public regarding data [4:34:55] centers and what they wanted [4:34:58] to do if they came to port. I [4:34:59] will give also another example [4:35:03] about why and the a's are gut. [4:35:04] City managers also stated, I'm [4:35:05] sorry to pick MISTER Fletcher [4:35:09] but this is a good one that he [4:35:09] would like to see something [4:35:14] like maybe of a minor league. [4:35:15] Hockey team come that topic on [4:35:17] the philadelphia flyers is a [4:35:20] big flyers so what there was [4:35:21] no nda and everyone got [4:35:24] excited because hey guess what [4:35:25] flyers are coming there teams [4:35:26] coming and what not something [4:35:29] felt the road. Then now we [4:35:32] have a whole bunch of upset [4:35:33] residents because there was [4:35:34] something that fell through [4:35:35] when they knew what it was [4:35:37] let's just off key example, [4:35:38] but it's also something is [4:35:41] what would happen. And then [4:35:46] debbie mcdowell he's submitted [4:35:48] a comment she wanted this let [4:35:49] the commission know that the [4:35:52] commission can direct the city [4:35:54] attorney to reach out to the [4:35:55] attorney general for specific [4:35:57] ruling on this matter [4:35:59] regarding the commission being [4:35:59] down by an nda and how the nba [4:36:03] applies to the commission. [4:36:04] >> the attorney general will [4:36:06] answer if the board gives [4:36:06] direction and I apologize if [4:36:07] that's something that [4:36:08] commissioner emrich should [4:36:09] also because I don't know when [4:36:09] this came during the [4:36:10] conversation because it thank [4:36:12] you. [4:36:19] >> and for or to use [4:36:21] nondisclosure agreements in a [4:36:22] way transparency the best [4:36:23] PRESIDENT And elected [4:36:24] officials from knowing what is [4:36:24] being discussed on matters [4:36:25] affecting our community. I [4:36:29] would support just them and [4:36:33] forced the language to [4:36:33] accomplish mess that's I [4:36:34] understand the florida certain [4:36:35] confidential information how [4:36:35] nda should never be used to [4:36:36] circumvent florida's public [4:36:38] records and open government [4:36:39] requirements for ticket [4:36:40] information from the public [4:36:42] simply because a private party [4:36:44] confident reality. The reason [4:36:46] situation demonstrates why is [4:36:49] important. Residents struggle [4:36:49] to obtain information about [4:36:50] major potential development [4:36:53] while was in place. That's [4:36:55] concern that's concern every [4:36:56] taxpayer projects that could [4:36:57] affect our water supply to see [4:36:58] them and infrastructure [4:37:00] environment neighborhoods [4:37:00] traffic happening taxes [4:37:04] deserve transparency from the [4:37:04] beginning. I estimate the [4:37:05] commission not to create a [4:37:06] process that normalizes are [4:37:09] encouraged and the a's for [4:37:11] city business. At a minimum, [4:37:12] no restricting information [4:37:13] that is legally required to be [4:37:15] public prevent commissioners [4:37:16] from receiving information [4:37:16] necessary to perform their [4:37:17] duties or prevent timely [4:37:20] disclosure to residents. [4:37:21] Government works for the [4:37:21] public not private developers [4:37:25] consultants and other party [4:37:26] seeking confidentiality. [4:37:27] Residents are ability and the [4:37:29] ability jail. Participate in [4:37:33] decisions based on incomplete [4:37:34] information. Please vote no to [4:37:35] allowing andy is to be used to [4:37:35] limit public transparency or [4:37:40] accountability. So the other [4:37:41] commissioner should be made [4:37:42] aware all unable to decide [4:37:43] whether the information should [4:37:46] be kept secret or disclosed. [4:37:46] Officials of the city should [4:37:50] make these determinations. Not [4:37:53] a and should be banned [4:37:53] outright this is dealings in [4:37:54] the dark and has no place in [4:37:58] legitimate representative city [4:38:00] governments 7 men get that's [4:38:01] you haven't got here and how [4:38:03] nba was born in a nutshell [4:38:04] florida statute 1, 6, 6.0 2 [4:38:04] want to clarify public [4:38:06] interest to earth in our [4:38:13] state, a and state. I a statue [4:38:14] 2 88.0 7, 5, gives permission [4:38:15] for confidentiality for [4:38:15] proprietary information [4:38:17] related to growth to a [4:38:21] business in 2021 the [4:38:22] commission approved on consent [4:38:23] the use of a template for city [4:38:26] manager to sign the agreement [4:38:28] city charter section 9.0 out [4:38:29] of the city manager the [4:38:30] authority to sign off on [4:38:32] tracks agreements and [4:38:34] applications for the city [4:38:35] actors such has been approved [4:38:37] by the city commission at a [4:38:38] regular or special city [4:38:38] commission meeting hindsight [4:38:41] is an amazing teacher I have [4:38:43] to wonder does that like that [4:38:44] charters something to ponder [4:38:47] and easy fix to the nba versus [4:38:48] charter issue is to remove the [4:38:50] city manager's ability to sign [4:38:51] future and the this way [4:38:53] there's no doubt it the [4:38:54] charter, however, the next [4:38:56] thing to ponder what's the [4:38:57] point of an idea the [4:38:58] commission is required to make [4:39:00] decisions and a public meeting [4:39:01] I'm not too sure commission [4:39:03] will approve an agreement with [4:39:04] actions but it still allows [4:39:05] the business that ability to [4:39:09] have an nti if the commission [4:39:10] approved at this deserves [4:39:11] further discussion and input [4:39:12] from the city attorney [4:39:13] tonight, the commission MAY [4:39:14] want to direct the city [4:39:16] attorney to conduct a legal of [4:39:16] whether the city manager made [4:39:17] her feature and the a's on of [4:39:21] the city's charter once legal [4:39:21] review is complete the [4:39:24] commission should discuss the [4:39:26] findings following the chart [4:39:27] takes priority transparency is [4:39:27] paramount along with [4:39:28] commission and citizen [4:39:33] involvement. That women have [4:39:34] commissioners of the cm does [4:39:36] not have to notify them we the [4:39:37] people the residents of north [4:39:37] port we are a city of the [4:39:38] commissioners are elected by [4:39:41] asked to represent us how [4:39:42] could any commissioner for [4:39:44] this is the very definition of [4:39:45] taxation without [4:39:46] representation, not acceptable [4:39:47] just like the data centers if [4:39:48] allowed to destroy everything [4:39:50] that israel florida. We don't [4:39:53] want our city painter and talk [4:39:54] our health is at risk our [4:39:54] water supply, energy grid [4:40:00] clean air achieve anything. [4:40:01] Craig mission I want to raise [4:40:02] concerns regarding city staff [4:40:03] entering into non-disclosure [4:40:04] agreements without prior [4:40:06] knowledge or consent of the [4:40:07] city commission. My concern is [4:40:10] not whether an nda [4:40:12] occasionally survey legend [4:40:14] legitimate city my concern to [4:40:15] have the right to make that [4:40:15] decision under what [4:40:16] circumstances and whether that [4:40:19] kind of illinois cities are [4:40:19] interested conducting the [4:40:21] day-to-day business of the [4:40:23] city but there's a significant [4:40:24] difference chamber routine [4:40:25] administrative work and [4:40:25] entering into an agreement [4:40:26] that might restrict what [4:40:27] information can be shared with [4:40:29] the public or even with their [4:40:30] elected representatives. The [4:40:30] city commission is accountable [4:40:31] to the voters on election [4:40:36] staff should not have on track [4:40:37] enter into confidentiality [4:40:38] agreements on behalf of the [4:40:38] city without their policies [4:40:39] limitations and oversight [4:40:41] established by the commission [4:40:42] at a minimum I believe [4:40:43] commission establish a formal [4:40:46] policy requiring want clearly [4:40:47] defined circumstances under [4:40:48] which makes to nba on behalf [4:40:51] of the city to review and [4:40:53] approval by city attorney for [4:40:54] execution 3 proper [4:40:55] notification of the city [4:40:58] commission whenever an nda is [4:40:59] executed, including its [4:41:00] general and the parties [4:41:01] involved to fullest extent [4:41:05] like legally permissible for [4:41:06] commission approval for [4:41:06] executing nba's involving [4:41:07] major economic development [4:41:09] projects, significant [4:41:10] infrastructure demands, public [4:41:11] incentives are matters likely [4:41:13] to come before the commission [4:41:14] for future action transparent. [4:41:19] You should be the [4:41:20] confidentiality should be no [4:41:21] going to find exception and [4:41:22] there should always be [4:41:22] accountability for who [4:41:25] authorized and watt I'm asking [4:41:27] the commission to establish [4:41:28] cartels rather than leaving [4:41:29] the only to the discretion of [4:41:33] an al elected staff. Just I do [4:41:34] not believe any commissioner [4:41:35] should be allowed to sign an [4:41:36] nda that keeps information [4:41:38] away from citizens. For us. [4:41:40] Could you imagine an employee [4:41:41] of year signing an nda said [4:41:42] you couldn't know what they [4:41:43] were up to it is insane to me [4:41:43] that this would even be [4:41:50] allowed to happen. Was not [4:41:51] asked remember every minute [4:41:52] facts, port residents women [4:41:54] shouldn't be differently be [4:41:55] transparent upfront and honest [4:41:55] no one is like no one likes [4:42:01] deception. See you I support [4:42:02] commissioners and residents [4:42:03] deserve more transparency, [4:42:04] especially when major [4:42:06] development the cetacean not [4:42:07] the main agreements that keep [4:42:08] important information from the [4:42:09] public without commission at [4:42:12] least knowing makes este if [4:42:13] project that could [4:42:14] significantly impact our [4:42:15] community residents deserve as [4:42:15] much transparency as legally [4:42:20] possible. Mary matalin. And [4:42:26] you to be sure commissioners. [4:42:27] Facing an indication sounds [4:42:29] like a step toward [4:42:30] transparency simply notifying [4:42:31] the commission is a [4:42:32] dangerously weak approach that [4:42:34] still legitimate eyes is [4:42:36] corporate deals in our city [4:42:37] massive tech developers try to [4:42:39] sneak into our neighborhoods [4:42:40] high impact industrial [4:42:41] center's they use aggressive [4:42:41] nda is to keep the public [4:42:42] completely in the dark until [4:42:45] it's too late, merely [4:42:46] establishing process to notify [4:42:46] city leadership that a secret [4:42:48] agreement exists does not ups. [4:42:49] Absolutely nothing to stop the [4:42:52] secrecy of self we must push [4:42:55] back against any allies do not [4:42:55] just want our commissioners to [4:42:57] be notified when a corporation [4:43:01] for we want ban on non [4:43:02] disclosure agreements between [4:43:03] public officials and private [4:43:04] developers are local [4:43:04] government should operate with [4:43:07] absolute transparency letting [4:43:08] predatory developers by our [4:43:09] city staff were elected [4:43:12] leaders to a level quickly [4:43:13] secrecy distress, public trust [4:43:13] and leaves residents [4:43:14] vulnerable to hit in an [4:43:17] environmental and [4:43:17] infrastructure. Cost demand [4:43:19] absolute transparency, not [4:43:22] just medication. Stacey [4:43:23] mention. Commissioner should [4:43:25] be informed of any existing [4:43:26] nba's nda should not be [4:43:27] tolerated in north port, the [4:43:28] residents deserve the right to [4:43:28] be informed at all times and [4:43:33] that's on there. [4:43:36] >> and request a mayor. [4:43:40] commissioner think first I [4:43:46] want [4:43:47] >> make a motion to direct [4:43:50] staff to draft an ordinance to [4:43:51] bring back to commission for [4:43:51] first reading to do away with [4:43:52] and the a's in the city [4:43:57] of north port. [4:43:58] >> second for discussion I [4:44:00] have a motion on the floor [4:44:02] made commissioner stokes [4:44:03] seconded by vice mayor and [4:44:08] vice mayor you want like to. [4:44:10] >> propose. [4:44:17] >> that. Struck city turning [4:44:20] to prepare ordinance [4:44:21] eliminating administrative [4:44:25] approval of an nda is and [4:44:27] require that city commission [4:44:27] decide whether or not to [4:44:31] permit the city to engage in [4:44:31] nda with appropriate [4:44:32] information redacted [4:44:34] including. [4:44:39] >> company name. [4:44:41] >> perspective city location [4:44:44] industry industry segment [4:44:45] applications and products and [4:44:46] other appropriate business and [4:44:53] technical details. [4:44:54] >> question there. Yes, [4:44:54] discussion that's what we're [4:45:02] doing that were occur. [4:45:03] Commission would have to under [4:45:07] the sunshine discuss [4:45:08] everything about the proposed [4:45:12] project for which nda is being [4:45:15] requested which undermine the [4:45:15] entire concept of the nba in [4:45:16] the first place so I'll see [4:45:21] how that is even practical. [4:45:22] >> possibility absolutely [4:45:25] discussing so. [4:45:27] >> I was laid out that kind of [4:45:27] information that would be [4:45:33] redacted. And the conversation [4:45:39] which would protecting. [4:45:40] >> the. [4:45:40] >> business and technology [4:45:43] plans of the company with the [4:45:45] ability of this commission to [4:45:53] say. Whether or not it should [4:45:54] move MAY I ask a question and [4:45:57] city attorney would it be [4:46:03] possible. Is there any [4:46:03] conflict with existing [4:46:08] legislation. For the city [4:46:12] commissioners to have that [4:46:13] information but to read at [4:46:27] that information public [4:46:35] >> I do I do think so. Again [4:46:40] problem I I'm trying to [4:46:43] >> is if this body has an [4:46:43] opportunity to save the [4:46:45] details of an nda. [4:46:51] >> and. [4:46:51] >> just as an example, it's a [4:46:52] heavy industrial project. [4:46:58] That. Based on that the [4:46:59] location of that we would have [4:47:03] all of those details. We would [4:47:05] have the information to decide [4:47:10] well no we really don't think [4:47:10] it's appropriate for the city [4:47:13] to enter into an nda with this [4:47:14] particular project because of [4:47:20] the possible. Quality of life [4:47:21] implications, so we would need [4:47:26] that information. To make an [4:47:27] informed decision about [4:47:28] whether or not to move forward [4:47:34] with an nda. But we have no [4:47:35] concerns so let's say it's [4:47:42] simply business company [4:47:43] doesn't want to be public [4:47:43] information that they're [4:47:46] planning to purchase and low [4:47:50] case at a certain parcel in [4:47:54] the city. That's in my mind is [4:47:54] certainly appropriate. [4:47:57] Protection and we might all [4:47:59] decide and a public setting. [4:48:06] To approve that nda with with [4:48:07] potentially damaging [4:48:08] information redacted that's [4:48:11] what I'm trying to. [4:48:14] >> get to how do we have that [4:48:15] conversation without share [4:48:18] that information publicly we [4:48:20] could do it in one eye was we [4:48:21] can figure that then we have [4:48:25] to come here as a body. [4:48:27] >> to discuss whether or not [4:48:28] to an acting and on that [4:48:30] project and the subject of [4:48:33] that conversation would [4:48:35] inadvertently or overtly [4:48:36] disclose information that [4:48:37] would be subject to the nba. [4:48:41] It's just not practical [4:48:43] workable situation, the [4:48:44] existing legislation that [4:48:45] exists to protect proprietary [4:48:46] information that the state has [4:48:52] mandated. Says it's protect [4:48:58] and their information. [4:48:59] >> we don't need and that [4:49:00] because if they have a private [4:49:01] or information that can [4:49:02] disclosed to public records. [4:49:06] >> we can discuss it. But it [4:49:09] can't be too slow so in [4:49:11] protest the I go back to the [4:49:13] original premise of this whole [4:49:14] thing which is we are not [4:49:15] private business. We are the [4:49:19] government we spend taxpayers [4:49:21] money. You know work for the [4:49:21] public we represent the public [4:49:26] and. We don't know everything [4:49:28] that's going on and if public [4:49:29] can't know pretty much [4:49:31] everything that's going and [4:49:32] the system's not working the [4:49:34] way it was intended to it is [4:49:37] not private business and if [4:49:40] loses a deal there's only 3 in [4:49:41] all the time or it could come [4:49:43] up with so I don't see how [4:49:48] even real problem and the [4:49:50] >> came into play look at [4:49:51] where we are right so I don't [4:49:56] blame anybody except that. [4:49:57] >> stan follow the law fall [4:49:59] the process they did what it [4:50:01] was they were supposed to and [4:50:03] what they were allowed to do [4:50:03] and look at where gas. I say [4:50:04] get rid of these things [4:50:05] because they don't serve any [4:50:06] purpose, the way I see it. But [4:50:07] anyway that's my take. Thank [4:50:12] you to me. [4:50:14] >> most of they're so I guess [4:50:15] you know anyone thought we got [4:50:17] a motion we've got a minute [4:50:18] we've got to go first write [4:50:18] that. [4:50:23] >> I mean we get in the [4:50:23] moment. Propose you did [4:50:24] propose it as an amendment you [4:50:29] put that we were in [4:50:30] discussion. [4:50:32] >> vote on it there was no [4:50:34] second on would you like me [4:50:35] articulate you would have to [4:50:37] do it [4:50:40] >> and strapped city attorney. [4:50:44] To prepare an ordinance [4:50:44] eliminating administrative [4:50:52] approval. Of nba's. And [4:50:52] require that city [4:50:58] commissioners decide. Whether [4:50:58] or not to permit the city to [4:51:03] engage in an nda. Let me know [4:51:08] when you're there. With [4:51:09] appropriate information reid [4:51:10] acted in any public [4:51:17] conversation. Some of that [4:51:18] information could include [4:51:22] company name. Prospective city [4:51:28] location. Industry segment. [4:51:33] Application our products. Or [4:51:34] other appropriate business or [4:51:49] technical details. [4:51:50] Thank [4:51:50] >> have an amendment on the [4:51:51] floor made by vice mayor [4:51:59] london do I have a second. I [4:52:02] do not have a son that second. [4:52:04] That they'll sue to a lack of [4:52:04] a second. Now on to the [4:52:07] original motion. There's [4:52:17] nothing to please vote. 41 [4:52:22] with vice mayor dissenting. [4:52:23] >> would like I think that [4:52:30] this. Decisions severely [4:52:31] negatively impacts the from [4:52:32] attracting potential [4:52:35] businesses. We would want to [4:52:42] have here. And. Folks it's not [4:52:46] like beaten down or to come [4:52:49] here. So do something that [4:52:50] artificially makes it more [4:52:56] difficult or impossible. For [4:52:56] them. [4:52:57] >> to come here let's face [4:52:59] these companies have options [4:53:01] if they're considering a place [4:53:03] to locate their businesses [4:53:08] that considering 2 or 3 [4:53:08] locations. So if this says get [4:53:09] back don't know we've all for [4:53:16] taft. Your business or [4:53:18] technical information they [4:53:19] will go somewhere else and we [4:53:19] won't get the jobs and we will [4:53:23] get the tax relief and I'm [4:53:24] sure there are a lot of people [4:53:26] in the city that would like [4:53:30] every bit of building to stop [4:53:33] today. Sorry we can't legally [4:53:34] do that all we can do and what [4:53:39] we are responsible for is to [4:53:42] make sure that 5 1015 years [4:53:44] from now we have a city that [4:53:48] is financially viable and this [4:53:49] does to us in that [4:53:55] responsibility. I yield. [4:54:01] >> moving on to item 26 to [4:54:01] continue discussion and [4:54:03] possible action regarding [4:54:04] reversal of administrative [4:54:08] approval process with that the [4:54:09] united unified land [4:54:13] development code requested by [4:54:14] commissioner goals. [4:54:15] >> commissioner still thank [4:54:18] you mayor. Well. First though [4:54:23] say that. Administrator for [4:54:31] approval. Okay, but. The [4:54:33] concept of administrative [4:54:35] approval close to the law [4:54:38] which is if something is [4:54:38] compliant with the [4:54:39] comprehensive plan and the [4:54:44] uldc. Then it can be approved. [4:54:44] There's no legal justification [4:54:49] for tonight. And I it going to [4:54:56] change that. Well prior [4:55:02] reported which I we voted to [4:55:04] allow administrative approval [4:55:06] which created a process [4:55:07] whereby something could be [4:55:08] okay because it met with the [4:55:08] comp plan and the unified land [4:55:14] development code. For staff. [4:55:18] What it did was it took away [4:55:18] and it took away [4:55:24] inclusiveness. Even it's [4:55:27] illegal way from a legal [4:55:28] standpoint, so what proposing [4:55:29] here and the reason I asked [4:55:30] for this item on the agenda. [4:55:35] He said I think. Projects well [4:55:41] not projects any project. Well [4:55:43] we have to define which [4:55:46] projects but to me apartments [4:55:47] commercial projects pretty [4:55:49] much anything except [4:55:49] single-family all kind of [4:55:50] development should calm [4:55:53] through commission that not [4:55:55] just the commission. But the [4:56:01] public. To know. To provide [4:56:04] their input their or opinions. [4:56:10] >> stay still has. [4:56:11] >> the administrative approval [4:56:14] process that they have to [4:56:16] follow it's complying with the [4:56:17] comp plan what we say it can [4:56:21] get approved just we shouldn't [4:56:23] think decisions as an elected [4:56:25] body without input of staff. [4:56:31] Public case for us community [4:56:32] input we should make our [4:56:32] decisions based on the [4:56:36] collective been pulled and I [4:56:36] think the administrative [4:56:44] approval. Even though we here [4:56:47] should be collect and I think [4:56:48] it's important that again for [4:56:48] the same reason it's [4:56:55] unfriendly a's. Any time an [4:56:56] elected does not know what's [4:57:01] going on that's a problem and [4:57:04] it is a problem I get people [4:57:05] saying hey are the corner of [4:57:08] such and such and such and I I [4:57:13] have no I don't know anything [4:57:14] about project before you think [4:57:15] this is nothing really wanted [4:57:18] say except that it doesn't [4:57:18] bode well, know I should you [4:57:23] know. There's no reason why [4:57:27] know, and I'm not trying to [4:57:28] take away. The city's ability [4:57:30] do what's legal in right now [4:57:32] the reason this happens so you [4:57:33] get some perspective in [4:57:34] history is always with prior [4:57:38] to getting elected. To a [4:57:39] product that was brought [4:57:40] forward before this before the [4:57:43] commission at that time in [4:57:44] 2021. Citizens remain [4:57:46] presentation. Close to 50 [4:57:52] people. Did a beautiful job. [4:57:53] I'm he's variance or special [4:57:56] exception. And commissioners [4:58:01] voted in favor of the citizens [4:58:04] perspective. 100% opposition [4:58:13] to the law should word. The [4:58:15] came up. And required. A [4:58:19] request for change. And the [4:58:20] mayor wasn't the mayor at the [4:58:26] time in my cell photo id to [4:58:28] allow the applicant pool out [4:58:31] change much to the chagrin but [4:58:31] we followed a little because [4:58:34] we didn't succumb. To public [4:58:37] will that's what concept [4:58:40] behind this administrative [4:58:43] approving protect the city [4:58:44] from making mistakes that were [4:58:45] politically motivated treated [4:58:50] so that I get that we all have [4:58:52] to follow the law that's the [4:58:55] first rule follow the [4:58:56] >> transparency and [4:59:00] inclusiveness. Runs right side [4:59:03] and for that reason I think we [4:59:06] really need to amend ordinance [4:59:07] straight approval process to [4:59:11] make sure that all projects [4:59:12] save single family housing [4:59:15] developments have to come [4:59:16] before commission can do so in [4:59:17] workshop environment state [4:59:20] we're not going to get but [4:59:22] they come for where citizens [4:59:23] can provide public [4:59:24] commissioners can ask [4:59:24] questions and step in it's [4:59:28] for. What they hear from us [4:59:30] and then they go back in the [4:59:35] but they MAY well be able to [4:59:35] do whatever they do with [4:59:36] benefit of our input and I [4:59:37] just think that's important. [4:59:41] So. [4:59:41] >> but due to commission here [4:59:49] send us commissioner deval. [4:59:50] >> must speak your name is [4:59:57] right there I say the from the [5:00:00] but thank you vice mayor your [5:00:02] next yes, thank you. My. [5:00:07] >> perception of this. [5:00:07] >> is that it is our job as a [5:00:10] body to make the rules. And [5:00:11] it's staff's job to carry them [5:00:12] out. [5:00:16] >> and. [5:00:18] >> I do see our role. [5:00:22] >> and as. Approving projects [5:00:31] item. Really don't think I [5:00:33] want to spend a lot of time [5:00:34] discussing projects that we [5:00:39] can impact. I understand and [5:00:40] and I agree the public has a [5:00:44] right to know. We do have [5:00:49] information on our website [5:00:51] I've gone to a number of times [5:00:52] when I've a lot cleared and I [5:00:53] don't know what's going on [5:00:58] there I go to the map. And I [5:01:00] find out it's not the easiest [5:01:02] to use because there are so [5:01:03] many projects going on in the [5:01:03] city you can always find the [5:01:07] one you're looking for. I [5:01:12] think there's better way then [5:01:13] having 5 city commissioners [5:01:18] and staff. Discussing projects [5:01:22] that meet the rules in order [5:01:23] to inform the public. I think [5:01:27] there are other ways if we get [5:01:29] creative of informing the [5:01:32] public of what's happening and [5:01:33] where MAY adding some and not [5:01:36] going to try to craft a [5:01:37] solution here. But I think [5:01:40] there are more efficient and [5:01:44] effective ways to the public [5:01:45] of what's happening where then [5:01:48] to chew up a lot of time [5:01:53] meetings are expensive. Think [5:01:55] a lot all the staff that sits [5:01:57] here listening to opine on on [5:02:01] all of these matters. I would [5:02:04] love to do an estimate of what [5:02:06] every hour of commission [5:02:09] meeting time cost the city. [5:02:13] And I'm all when. We're doing [5:02:19] it to execute. Jobs. And [5:02:22] ensuring that people get the [5:02:22] information they need that we [5:02:23] get the information we need to [5:02:28] do our jobs. Don't think [5:02:31] that's discussing. Every [5:02:34] project minus single-family [5:02:35] homes that comes before this [5:02:39] body. I just don't think it's [5:02:41] an efficient way it's our job [5:02:42] to come up with the world if [5:02:45] the rules right then let's [5:02:48] changeup and then staff's job [5:02:49] to execute according to those [5:02:53] rules. [5:02:58] >> commissioners you first I'm [5:03:00] not looking to take away. Or [5:03:06] to approve projects, ok go up [5:03:06] the pace whether the project [5:03:07] is compliant with the comp [5:03:10] plan you will be safe. But [5:03:11] first of all to address the [5:03:16] issue of staff's time. With [5:03:21] all due we represent citizens [5:03:25] in the city and it all up. I [5:03:29] just for the life of me you [5:03:32] know one of the biggest [5:03:33] problems we seem to have in [5:03:36] the city is the fact that [5:03:38] people are you know some [5:03:40] people anyway are up the [5:03:42] concern over the fact that [5:03:44] there is a spotlight shined [5:03:45] what going especially in light [5:03:46] of the fact that there's so [5:03:47] much going on in our city [5:03:50] presently, and I don't think [5:03:53] we're wasting anybody's time [5:03:54] by being able to talk about [5:03:55] projects that are moving [5:04:00] through the city and to go [5:04:03] chase information down on a [5:04:03] web site away from quarterly [5:04:05] meeting by the economic [5:04:06] development department to give [5:04:09] us a slide presentation a high [5:04:11] level of what's going on is [5:04:13] what looking for assistance [5:04:16] are looking for we want talk [5:04:17] about apartment building [5:04:21] corner of and going what we're [5:04:23] going to do about like that [5:04:25] you love landscaping and said [5:04:26] that saying and what are we [5:04:28] going to make sure there's no [5:04:30] noise and parking issues [5:04:31] traffic issues and these are [5:04:31] the kinds of conversations [5:04:37] everybody I think [5:04:39] >> we have because the [5:04:40] administrative process just [5:04:40] allows him to grease off [5:04:43] through because legally a [5:04:45] lull. We have to follow the [5:04:47] law keeps saying that but that [5:04:48] doesn't mean we can't good [5:04:50] health inc discussions as a [5:04:52] city and as a commission about [5:04:54] far as taking too much [5:04:57] friendly wetzel full-time [5:05:00] workshop every single I don't [5:05:02] care all here 7 days a week if [5:05:02] did do it I just think we've [5:05:04] got to get better at this [5:05:05] stuff. And we've got more [5:05:08] transparent inclusive let's [5:05:11] really do what it is we say [5:05:11] what we always say oh trying [5:05:12] to be transparent inclusion [5:05:16] but then we I mean like we've [5:05:22] got fix the things that okay [5:05:25] I'm looking to break laws I'm [5:05:26] not going serve stamp some [5:05:27] authority to approve [5:05:28] processees that are legally [5:05:33] allowable but. I the right to [5:05:35] know what's going and talk [5:05:36] about it before gets approved [5:05:38] and I love the citizen's staff [5:05:39] that same right I don't see [5:05:40] anything wrong with that at [5:05:42] all I really just don't. Thank [5:05:46] you thank you. Vice mayor. [5:05:51] >> I also view my job as a [5:05:52] full-time job. But I can see a [5:05:53] lot better ways of spending my [5:05:58] time. I love you all and I [5:06:00] love time we spent together [5:06:01] but frankly rather engaging [5:06:05] with the community and sitting [5:06:06] up here talking about [5:06:06] something that we cannot [5:06:11] impact think that there's [5:06:15] something wrong with the uldc [5:06:17] if commissioners believe. [5:06:22] Based community input that [5:06:23] we're putting apartment [5:06:24] buildings and higher density [5:06:27] housing in the wrong place. [5:06:28] Then let's bring back that man [5:06:36] out. Talk about talk about the [5:06:37] landscaping and buffer and [5:06:39] other requirements that go [5:06:41] along with that type of [5:06:42] development that's a healthy [5:06:46] discussion to have. And [5:06:47] certainly shares with the [5:06:51] community thought process [5:06:53] behind zoning some think a lot [5:06:56] of times we we look at it was [5:07:02] chapter 3 it's changeup [5:07:03] chapter 3 was the zoning what [5:07:08] we often neglect to look as a [5:07:09] community. It's chapter 4 [5:07:10] which are all the building and [5:07:13] set back and all of those [5:07:14] other requirements that [5:07:14] commissioner stokes was [5:07:17] talking about. Again I say if [5:07:22] if we. And you said your cell [5:07:25] commissioner if got something [5:07:28] wrong. We need to address we [5:07:31] don't have to discuss projects [5:07:35] at a workshop where we can't [5:07:37] change anything if we suspect [5:07:39] something is wrong with our [5:07:40] rules that let's talk about [5:07:46] the rules. Its educational for [5:07:48] the community. Let's look from [5:07:50] a totality not just the zoning [5:07:52] not just where we're putting [5:07:53] but one of the design [5:07:57] requirements for that tie a [5:08:01] building. What thought process [5:08:02] went into protecting [5:08:03] neighborhoods that are in the [5:08:05] year you're that kind of [5:08:06] development that is a [5:08:08] productive healthy [5:08:11] conversation for this body to [5:08:12] have and a situation where we [5:08:17] can effect change other than [5:08:19] that rather have with a [5:08:19] resident of this community [5:08:25] where we can talk about stuff. [5:08:26] I've got a wind or whatever [5:08:28] where I can engage with people [5:08:29] who live here about their [5:08:30] concerns and hopes and dreams [5:08:32] for the city. I yield [5:08:35] commissioner petro. [5:08:36] >> I think commissioner stokes [5:08:41] is trying say need the [5:08:42] approval his trade approval [5:08:43] back so we be in the situation [5:08:47] we're in right basically which [5:08:50] doesn't require us know all [5:08:51] the administrative staff what [5:08:56] the stat us. [5:08:56] >> thank city clerk public [5:09:11] comment. [5:09:13] >> I [5:09:13] >> think with the [5:09:14] administrative approval, is [5:09:15] still operating under senate [5:09:19] bill 7.84. Me plats. But in my [5:09:22] research I found. But there is [5:09:23] an exception to that senate [5:09:31] bill. That says if it's within [5:09:32] charter county. That there is [5:09:32] an exception that the county [5:09:35] charter would prevail over the [5:09:39] senate bill. So I don't know I [5:09:40] haven't had a chance yet to [5:09:41] look at the county's charter. [5:09:43] But the question is also i [5:09:48] know I don't see anything in [5:09:49] our charter. But if if we were [5:09:50] to put something within to [5:09:54] address that particular [5:09:54] exception. [5:09:55] >> that would be a question [5:09:56] for the city attorney to look [5:09:58] into for the commission. But [5:10:02] in any event. We can never [5:10:03] really defined administrative [5:10:07] boundaries because we could [5:10:08] define minor versus major [5:10:11] actions structure land [5:10:12] development regulations. So [5:10:14] that only explicit minor [5:10:18] objective tests are handled [5:10:18] administratively forcing any [5:10:19] gray areas are subject is [5:10:21] interpretations back to a [5:10:21] public vote before the [5:10:26] commission. Establish strict [5:10:27] oversight protocols that [5:10:28] require mandatory staff 3 sons [5:10:32] to the commission. Appeals we [5:10:33] can ensure local land [5:10:36] development codes provide a [5:10:37] clear pathway for aggrieved [5:10:38] parties or the commission [5:10:39] itself to appeal the [5:10:42] administrative staff [5:10:43] decisions. So it depends how [5:10:44] deep you want to get involved [5:10:47] I mean at one time before the [5:10:48] rewrite. You know commission [5:10:50] had a lot more authority in [5:10:51] the polls. A lot of what's [5:10:54] going on with these [5:10:55] developments and then senate [5:10:56] bill 7.84 came into play and [5:11:00] then that kind shifted things. [5:11:01] So it depends on what this [5:11:02] commission is willing to do [5:11:03] and how much time you're [5:11:05] willing to put into it. But [5:11:07] again if you can put these [5:11:10] restrictions within there then [5:11:12] it still give staff the [5:11:15] authority but they have to [5:11:16] basically it's limited their [5:11:17] authority basically is limited [5:11:21] between the major or minor [5:11:22] development. They have to let [5:11:22] you notify on a monthly you [5:11:24] know so you know what's going [5:11:27] on then you can determine what [5:11:28] your procedures in to new [5:11:31] particles are going to be. [5:11:32] >> so you know that's my [5:11:48] edition. Thank you guys, thank [5:11:48] >> robin vents and a makes a [5:11:50] lot of sense and that's 20 [5:11:51] years of experience right [5:11:52] there and to be able to do it [5:11:55] up the top of her head. [5:11:56] Amazing. Commissioner langdon [5:11:57] there's community members [5:11:58] right here that you can engage [5:12:00] with them we have also been [5:12:02] here now for how many hours [5:12:03] and so for you to say rather [5:12:06] be somewhere else is that they [5:12:08] putting once again to say the [5:12:10] least I really appreciate you [5:12:11] revealing yourself and how you [5:12:12] feel about the people that [5:12:17] actually do show up. Reversing [5:12:18] the administrative approval [5:12:18] process to bring these massive [5:12:20] projects back front of the [5:12:21] public vote sounds like a [5:12:25] victory for representation, [5:12:25] but under florida's strict [5:12:28] growth management laws and has [5:12:29] to one 80 shifting a project [5:12:30] from an administrative track [5:12:31] to a political track after an [5:12:34] application is already in play [5:12:35] as a high-risk gamble that [5:12:36] invites multi-million dollar [5:12:39] property right losses. We do [5:12:41] not need to alter the city [5:12:42] standard processing tracks to [5:12:46] win this but we need to the [5:12:47] the strict unyielding [5:12:51] environmental applied to any [5:12:53] processing track. The [5:12:55] important that can we have is [5:13:00] immediate and protection [5:13:00] ordinances. [5:13:02] >> and the all replacement [5:13:07] basis. [5:13:08] >> we have the ability to do [5:13:10] that still today later on [5:13:12] still tell you that we have [5:13:12] the ability to do that today, [5:13:17] I'm not hearing anyone. [5:13:19] >> every list I was clear [5:13:20] parliament every structure for [5:13:23] for protections it doesn't [5:13:24] matter an application is [5:13:27] reviewed by city staff are not [5:13:28] that this guy was project [5:13:32] cannot legally less to do [5:13:35] massive water consumption will [5:13:40] to 0 harm to shared resources. [5:13:44] >> utilizing that pending [5:13:47] doctor and today a 72 for time [5:13:47] teamers from sneaking end [5:13:51] where we might be stop [5:13:52] changing the procedures world [5:13:53] said the start protecting the [5:13:59] court. Out pass tomorrow, [5:14:00] well, protection ordinance and [5:14:05] the recharge basin and what [5:14:06] your hope for best parent [5:14:06] that's sitting on your dress [5:14:14] is going expire 180 well just [5:14:15] expired than that one has pay [5:14:17] for can be used and all of [5:14:18] these that were asked in your [5:14:20] right now pretty empty of for [5:14:21] follow already for about his [5:14:26] job as you have contract. [5:14:28] Permits anyone that wants to [5:14:31] build a hyper always at the [5:14:33] has been a thorough does not [5:14:37] apply to the stylus or any [5:14:39] florida of was written to be [5:14:41] pretty w's and you guys chose [5:14:47] not to preemptively use it. So [5:14:56] you said I'm giving you an [5:15:01] >> I would give you 3 examples [5:15:02] of chapter 4 and why you need [5:15:04] this administrative approval [5:15:05] process, one property was [5:15:08] included in the result. 2 [5:15:09] properties were already zoned [5:15:13] for this before the rezone [5:15:14] first one is apartment complex [5:15:17] it's going in the middle of a [5:15:18] residential area that's been [5:15:18] rezoned are 3 right off the [5:15:24] snow will. That snow you all [5:15:26] know sandy capacity, she's got [5:15:29] this project right behind her [5:15:29] everything in chapter 4 that [5:15:32] she wanted to use for [5:15:33] protection. She's listening to [5:15:34] loud jackhammers that got the [5:15:35] land clear right up to her [5:15:39] property. So something like [5:15:40] that, and how it affects the [5:15:42] neighbors there should have [5:15:43] been different buffers things [5:15:45] considered for that the next [5:15:45] project is the big rv park [5:15:47] going off a chamberlain right [5:15:48] north the 75. Is kelly [5:15:54] burrata. Has got concerns [5:15:56] about dumping of the sewage [5:15:57] that's going to be there and [5:15:58] where the gas is it going to [5:16:01] affect water chapter 4. I [5:16:02] don't know if there's anything [5:16:03] in there for her, but at least [5:16:04] it should have been considered [5:16:07] how that's going to affect the [5:16:08] neighborhood and the 3rd one I [5:16:15] forgot. For all there's 3rd [5:16:16] one somewhere that is all [5:16:17] about the one on sumpter the [5:16:21] high-rise apartments, randy [5:16:22] he's got now, he's got [5:16:24] apartments going right behind [5:16:25] him parking lights that are [5:16:27] going to affect this area. So [5:16:28] those are my examples, thanks. [5:16:37] Thank you. Angela park. [5:16:38] >> strongly support agenda [5:16:41] item 26 dash 1, 0, 2, 2, and [5:16:42] her and minister within the [5:16:43] unified land development code [5:16:44] development decisions can have [5:16:45] lasting consequences for [5:16:45] surrounding homeowners [5:16:46] neighbors, traffic drainage [5:16:48] utilities, water resources, [5:16:49] environmental quality and that [5:16:52] overall character of port, [5:16:53] those decisions should not [5:16:56] become effectively automatic [5:16:57] simply because ministry [5:16:59] deadline passes mistreated [5:17:00] them a is important. But [5:17:01] officials say should never [5:17:02] come at the expense of [5:17:03] accountability for the [5:17:04] public's opportunity to be [5:17:07] heard the city's uldc states [5:17:08] it is its purpose is to [5:17:09] promote public health safety [5:17:09] and welfare implement the [5:17:13] comprehensive plan facilitate [5:17:15] quarterly growth and [5:17:16] development presidents deserve [5:17:17] confidence that significant [5:17:18] development applications [5:17:19] received meeting for and that [5:17:19] decision makers remain [5:17:20] accountable for the [5:17:24] consequences of those [5:17:26] decisions. For will cannot can [5:17:26] undermine confidence and [5:17:27] potentially allow projects to [5:17:29] proceed without adequate [5:17:30] consideration. Impacts that [5:17:30] MAY not be apparent from a [5:17:34] checklist or technical of the [5:17:35] law. I urge the commission to [5:17:35] reverse the administrative [5:17:36] approval process require [5:17:38] permanent action when [5:17:40] appropriate, particularly for [5:17:42] applications with potentially [5:17:43] significant impacts staff [5:17:45] should have ability to [5:17:46] thoroughly evaluate [5:17:46] applications and the public [5:17:48] should have meaningful notice [5:17:49] opportunity participate [5:17:50] decisions could materially [5:17:55] their community north port is. [5:17:56] Experiencing tremendous growth [5:17:56] we should not weaken oversight [5:17:59] in the name of speed. Please [5:17:59] support 26 dash 1, 0, 2, 2, [5:18:03] restore accountability [5:18:04] transparency and responsible [5:18:08] development process. So or [5:18:10] floyd's I fully support the [5:18:11] return of administrative [5:18:12] approval to be returned to the [5:18:14] elected representatives of the [5:18:14] city the city commission the [5:18:15] people in the commissioners [5:18:16] must take our city back. [5:18:21] David restoration commissioner [5:18:22] site and proposals must be [5:18:22] restore what we're left [5:18:27] with this. Commission of devon [5:18:29] out thank you for having a [5:18:30] discussion on administrative [5:18:30] approval processes in case [5:18:33] anyone is wondering [5:18:34] administrative approval is [5:18:35] granting and 32 the uldc [5:18:35] administrator or specific [5:18:39] parts of the uldc the sec has [5:18:40] designated the director of [5:18:40] development services for there [5:18:43] doesn't need to grab those [5:18:44] approvals. No input from [5:18:46] commissioner citizens, no [5:18:47] public checks and balances as [5:18:48] a reminder staff does not [5:18:50] answer citizens or to the [5:18:52] commission. There are various [5:18:53] sections riddled throughout [5:18:54] the uldc that allowed ministry [5:18:55] of approval impasse far more [5:18:57] than approving project the [5:18:58] development master concept [5:18:58] plan is a good place to start [5:19:02] the mending the u n a another [5:19:04] area is the section granting [5:19:05] the hearing officer to approve [5:19:06] major variances and minor [5:19:09] variances are approved [5:19:10] administratively. There to be [5:19:11] see that allow ministry [5:19:14] approval to various flavors [5:19:14] then there's neighborhood [5:19:15] meetings, yes there but [5:19:17] nothing happened after that no [5:19:18] commission involvement, the [5:19:19] citizens have no place to turn [5:19:22] to have their voice heard did [5:19:24] you know project is [5:19:25] administratively approved [5:19:26] there's no mechanism to notify [5:19:28] commission commissioners kept [5:19:29] in the which means the [5:19:30] citizens are kept in the dark [5:19:32] this should be amended I know [5:19:34] subject like the back of my [5:19:35] hand I won't bore you with the [5:19:36] citing various sections of the [5:19:37] code that permit [5:19:38] administrative approval, [5:19:39] however, I'm extending an [5:19:40] invitation to share my [5:19:41] knowledge with and have a [5:19:44] conversation for retail [5:19:45] hearing from you or anyone who [5:19:47] wants to learn more on the [5:19:49] subject commissioners please [5:19:50] restore commissioner oversight [5:19:51] please restore there's checks [5:19:52] and balances please restore [5:19:53] transparency and the ability [5:19:53] for commission as citizens to [5:19:54] purchase. [5:20:02] Processes before de mer [5:20:03] commissioners I'm writing as [5:20:04] PRESIDENT To express my strong [5:20:05] support for agenda item 26 [5:20:10] dash 1, 0, 2, 2, hi have [5:20:11] marshaled developments kerry [5:20:12] multi decade consequences from [5:20:13] all our particularly regarding [5:20:14] our water sources and traffic [5:20:15] infrastructure. The ministry [5:20:19] of staff signs all so started [5:20:23] needed for routine technical [5:20:24] approvals they are not [5:20:25] equipped to evaluate macro [5:20:25] level community impacts [5:20:26] allowing high impact projects [5:20:28] to public hearings for best [5:20:29] presidents for raising [5:20:33] critical questions about water [5:20:34] conservation. The key strain [5:20:35] that large industrial utility [5:20:37] demands placed on our local [5:20:39] water supply for traffic [5:20:40] infrastructure increased [5:20:41] congestion road where and [5:20:42] safety concerns along major [5:20:43] corridors like I 75 veterans [5:20:46] highway hillsboro boulevard [5:20:48] project just completed toledo [5:20:49] blade boulevard and us 41 [5:20:51] decisions that impact our [5:20:53] local water security and daily [5:20:55] traffic along reversing the [5:20:56] administrative approval [5:20:58] process guarantees public [5:20:58] notice in the short final [5:21:01] remains with elected leaders [5:21:02] accountable. So a community [5:21:02] please vote. Yes on this [5:21:03] agenda item since all [5:21:07] happened. Elizabeth last my [5:21:09] name is last all I thank you [5:21:13] for your regarding 26 dash 1, [5:21:15] 0, 2, I strongly object to on [5:21:16] elected staff or city manager [5:21:16] approving items without full [5:21:17] disclosure and information [5:21:19] presented to our [5:21:20] commissioners. Voted in the [5:21:21] mission and not the staff of [5:21:22] the city manager [5:21:23] administrative staff can [5:21:25] source facts but it needs to [5:21:26] biased I'm hopeful that the [5:21:27] commissioners him we have a [5:21:30] lot think long and hard about [5:21:31] where opinion possible facts [5:21:35] are coming from and what they. [5:21:36] And that not like the dog pony [5:21:36] show we percent it from the [5:21:39] experts on data centers. The [5:21:41] first question should always [5:21:42] be is it really in the best [5:21:43] interest of our residents and [5:21:43] our city everyone has a [5:21:44] background in life history [5:21:48] before being employed could it [5:21:49] be higher some productive [5:21:50] people in our city management [5:21:50] to screen the thoughts and [5:21:52] ideas in favor of building a [5:21:53] data center. I understand that [5:21:54] we want more commercial and [5:21:57] that we need more revenue [5:21:58] maybe a nice designated area [5:22:00] for park like many downtown [5:22:01] development area where [5:22:01] families gather with [5:22:02] restaurants shopping bakery [5:22:06] post-op ixic cetera the seems [5:22:08] to have a lot of open land [5:22:08] beside the trail. I believe [5:22:09] the trail will be used more if [5:22:10] it had some amenities, [5:22:14] especially restrooms I was [5:22:15] taking talking to 3 months [5:22:16] pushing stores that have to [5:22:17] cut their lives short because [5:22:20] restroom. She is he out there [5:22:22] and the closest porta potty is [5:22:24] 2.5 miles from the trailhead [5:22:25] women are comfortable [5:22:25] squatting in the woods to area [5:22:29] seems perfect to build a since [5:22:30] the trail and the land is [5:22:32] already there MAY be good bike [5:22:34] trail and loveland ohio, it's [5:22:36] 70 miles long connects many [5:22:37] small towns with restaurants [5:22:39] and amenities along the way it [5:22:39] is extremely popular all [5:22:40] attended the legacy trails are [5:22:45] there at some amenities. [5:22:46] >> mayor commissioners a port [5:22:47] commissioner steps request to [5:22:48] reconsider our first portions [5:22:49] of the administrative approval [5:22:52] process within the ld safe. [5:22:54] The eu rely has been in my [5:22:55] opinion and more importantly [5:22:58] shifted too much consequential [5:22:58] decision-making away from [5:22:59] public bodies and elected [5:23:00] officials and then to an [5:23:02] administrative process with [5:23:02] insufficient oversight and [5:23:03] accountability administrative [5:23:04] approval makes sense for [5:23:07] routine minister all matters [5:23:09] where an applicant either need [5:23:10] to clearly establish [5:23:10] requirements not but when a [5:23:12] decision requires [5:23:12] interpretation or discretion [5:23:15] effects surrounding [5:23:16] neighborhoods. Impacts [5:23:18] infrastructure influences, the [5:23:19] future character a city it [5:23:21] deserves public scrutiny [5:23:21] efficiency is important but [5:23:22] efficiency can not become an [5:23:24] excuse for nathan [5:23:25] transparency. PRESIDENT Elect [5:23:26] commissioners to make [5:23:28] difficult decisions about the [5:23:29] direction of north port we do [5:23:30] not elect staff that is not [5:23:31] criticism of staff does have a [5:23:32] representative government is [5:23:35] supposed to work consequential [5:23:37] development decisions can be [5:23:38] approved administratively [5:23:39] residents have MAY not know [5:23:41] what is happening until I [5:23:42] discussed decision has already [5:23:43] been made at that point public [5:23:43] participation becomes reaction [5:23:47] rather representation. Parties [5:23:47] predictable development goals [5:23:50] and developers deserve [5:23:51] certainty. But predictability [5:23:53] accountability are not [5:23:54] mutually exclusive. The [5:23:55] commission should drop their [5:23:55] live routine decision based on [5:23:59] objective standards can remain [5:24:01] administrative decisions about [5:24:03] significant discretion [5:24:04] interpretation or community [5:24:04] and actually receive [5:24:06] transparent public review and [5:24:08] appropriate oversight you have [5:24:09] station sponsored lee it [5:24:12] should not become a mechanism [5:24:13] insulting insulating [5:24:14] consequential land-use [5:24:15] decisions from the residents [5:24:16] who must live with them my [5:24:17] sport action today to restore [5:24:20] that accountability. Just us [5:24:21] poor city commission resort [5:24:25] reversing staff approval on [5:24:26] items this line responsibility [5:24:28] has already shown its ugly [5:24:28] head. Us commissioners have [5:24:29] lost all ability to know [5:24:30] what's going because staff [5:24:32] come back other way around [5:24:34] you. It was sad to hear [5:24:35] commissioner like this stance [5:24:36] in previous meeting on the [5:24:36] subject hopefully she will [5:24:37] remember that citizens elected [5:24:38] her to have some oversight [5:24:43] ability and not just to be to [5:24:44] city staff christina's I [5:24:47] support the reverse off strait [5:24:48] approval process within the [5:24:50] uvalde say with the current [5:24:51] topic, a paper scaled centers [5:24:51] there have been instances [5:24:52] across the nation where they [5:24:54] have about a previous [5:24:56] administrative approval [5:24:56] process without oversight by [5:24:58] the commission which is [5:25:00] incredibly alarming a prime [5:25:02] example of certain previous [5:25:02] commissioner warned why it was [5:25:03] a terrible idea to begin with [5:25:05] and have voted against it. I [5:25:06] appreciate commissioner starts [5:25:08] for adding this item after [5:25:10] realizing. That's better late [5:25:11] than never to spy actually [5:25:12] voting in favor of previously [5:25:14] perhaps administrative [5:25:15] approval still we utilize, but [5:25:18] there must be clearly defined [5:25:21] specials that limit what can [5:25:24] this alternative alternate or [5:25:25] even I'm just an average [5:25:27] citizen, I'm not familiar with [5:25:27] the law however, when I [5:25:29] learned that our north port [5:25:30] commissioner secretly [5:25:32] reside north port and fletcher [5:25:32] sign a non-disclosure [5:25:34] agreement to keep residents in [5:25:34] the dark about future plans [5:25:35] for north for rest and I [5:25:38] realized that of our past [5:25:40] commissioners. How about that [5:25:42] have a mess we're with a [5:25:43] potential data center is a [5:25:44] direct result of your [5:25:44] administrative approval [5:25:45] process and it needs to be [5:25:51] reversed. Look I support that [5:25:52] we're seeing a modest rate of [5:25:53] approval process major [5:25:54] development decisions should [5:25:55] not be having behind the [5:25:56] scenes without residents [5:25:57] having a chance to know what [5:25:58] is being proposed and speak up [5:26:00] about it if you project can [5:26:02] significantly impact our [5:26:03] neighborhoods traffic [5:26:03] infrastructure or quality of [5:26:06] life should go through a [5:26:06] public process. North korea [5:26:07] has grown too quickly to be [5:26:10] removing public oversight from [5:26:10] development decisions. [5:26:11] Residents deserve transparency [5:26:16] and a voice for these projects [5:26:17] this needs to be reversed a [5:26:18] staff member should not be [5:26:21] allowed provide to patients. [5:26:24] Tell us we must a highly [5:26:27] critical item 26 dash 1, 0, 2, [5:26:28] 2 regarding the discussion to [5:26:29] resourced reversed [5:26:29] administrative approval [5:26:32] process within our uldc [5:26:34] russell sounds like it could [5:26:34] bring back public hearing [5:26:35] simply having a discussion on [5:26:36] this item exposes a deeply [5:26:39] flawed system. The fact that [5:26:40] the city a lot of ministry of [5:26:40] approval in the first place is [5:26:43] a direct insult to the [5:26:44] community magistrate of [5:26:46] approval access a massive [5:26:48] loophole shifting the power to [5:26:49] greenlight high impact [5:26:49] developments out of the public [5:26:53] and handling it directly to on [5:26:56] a lot of city neighborhood [5:26:58] offering industrial commercial [5:27:00] projects like predatory tech [5:27:02] development to public scrutiny [5:27:03] commission any neighborhood [5:27:04] notification we cannot settle [5:27:05] for open-ended discussion or a [5:27:08] watered down compromise that [5:27:09] now it reversal or a temporary [5:27:12] fix isn't enough protect our [5:27:13] city's future. Our community [5:27:13] to mask absolutely [5:27:16] accountability every single [5:27:18] land-use choice. Our [5:27:19] neighborhoods threatens our [5:27:21] natural resources are creates [5:27:21] 24 7 noise and utility for [5:27:24] must face a mandatory public [5:27:26] hearing elected leaders must [5:27:28] have to PRESIDENT The eye high [5:27:31] city staff purples but the [5:27:31] city commission that we see [5:27:32] through administrative proper [5:27:38] staffing. We demand for [5:27:39] permanent reversal of all [5:27:39] MISTER Ensure a complete [5:27:40] public transparency. [5:27:45] Demartino good morning again [5:27:47] commissioners my name is sam, [5:27:48] I'm support of this reversal [5:27:49] administrative approval rights [5:27:50] that has been given to the [5:27:51] city manager these types of [5:27:51] decisions should be made as a [5:27:55] group. Thank you. Stacey [5:27:58] mentioned we need ever process [5:27:59] within the unified land [5:28:02] development code is that it is [5:28:02] on acceptable have random [5:28:03] administrative employees [5:28:04] making major decisions that [5:28:04] can seriously affect the [5:28:07] last north port resident, the [5:28:08] citizens let the commissioners [5:28:09] to represent them and the [5:28:11] commissioner should approve it [5:28:11] actually see requests [5:28:18] accordingly and that's all I [5:28:22] >> request a motion to make it [5:28:23] go. [5:28:23] >> I make a motion direct [5:28:24] staff to draft an ordinance to [5:28:30] bring back.

We don't do it because [5:30:14] we have nothing else better to [5:30:15] some of us have health issues [5:30:16] that we're dealing with but we [5:30:16] make it here because we care [5:30:19] about the city. We've been [5:30:20] called haters we've been [5:30:23] called the vocal minority for [5:30:25] trying to speak up because [5:30:26] that's the other side of the [5:30:26] coin there's one side there's [5:30:31] another side. So. We're just [5:30:34] not speaking to here and still [5:30:34] speaks we've spoken on [5:30:35] projects that affect their [5:30:36] health our health safety [5:30:40] welfare and our way of life.

The residents that [5:30:50] were on the can bill for [5:30:51] apartments coming there what [5:30:53] haven and of course [5:30:53] warm mineral springs a lot of [5:30:57] residents came out for that.

Everyone. When our [5:31:26] writer stand at the podium [5:31:27] people look at me and asked [5:31:29] her is this guy where is the [5:31:34] what angle. Assume I represent [5:31:35] a paid organization or hidden [5:31:36] political agenda. They are [5:31:40] around I'm just one guy, I'm a [5:31:42] sick guy who is standing here [5:31:43] today because I live the [5:31:45] absolute nightmare of [5:31:46] florida's water crisis and I'm [5:31:49] still living at right now. And [5:31:52] the summer of 2018 the water [5:31:53] in the state poison my home, I [5:31:54] felt so violently ill that my [5:31:55] body deteriorated to a [5:31:58] skeletal 90 pounds. I was [5:32:00] paralyzed on my right side, my [5:32:02] arm and leg completely useless [5:32:05] shaking like I had [5:32:06] parkinson's. Well I was [5:32:06] trapped in my own felling body [5:32:09] a wave of destruction hit my [5:32:10] family. My mother-in-law [5:32:12] wilson's pass suffered a [5:32:13] massive stroke, losing the [5:32:15] lining of her intestines [5:32:16] people are being consumed by [5:32:20] alzheimer's and dementia. I [5:32:22] watch my spouse up in icu [5:32:24] during separate times once [5:32:26] because I thought it was brain [5:32:27] cancer and another time [5:32:28] because of fluid retention was [5:32:29] so severe the body blew up [5:32:29] like a blur and cutting off [5:32:33] the circulation. And the [5:32:35] middle of all of that has my [5:32:37] dog started dying [5:32:38] consecutively week after week [5:32:39] one would die in 2 weeks later [5:32:42] the next one would collapse. I [5:32:45] for help my then county [5:32:46] commissioner in charlotte [5:32:47] county chris constance [5:32:48] completely stonewalled he [5:32:52] refused to work at me. Talk to [5:32:54] me knowledge my separate. My [5:32:58] family existed. It was slap in [5:33:01] the face, but the circle [5:33:03] always turns this year the [5:33:05] spelling to him out of office [5:33:06] and replaced it with john [5:33:08] fleming and I want every [5:33:09] commissioner in the state to [5:33:11] hear that name and learn the [5:33:12] lesson with the citizen comes [5:33:13] to crying out for their like [5:33:16] you them in the eye and you're [5:33:17] listen because a public record [5:33:18] is part of it and the voters [5:33:19] will eventually clear the [5:33:23] room.
