dystrophy awareness day proclamation to miss beth

37
00:02:49,467 --> 00:02:52,533
and feigenblatt, florida regional support group

38
00:02:52,533 --> 00:02:56,133
facilitator for the myotonic dystrophy foundation.

39
00:03:01,233 --> 00:03:05,167
you have a pretty big group, right?

40
00:03:05,167 --> 00:03:07,567
everyone come on up.

41
00:03:57,533 --> 00:04:00,533
whereas, myotonic dystrophy is a systemic inherited

42
00:04:00,533 --> 00:04:04,733
disease that affects possibly one in 2100 people,

43
00:04:09,533 --> 00:04:13,533
and in total, hundred and 50,000 individuals in the united states, whereas

44
00:04:13,533 --> 00:04:17,733
myotonic dystrophy is the most common form

45
00:04:18,533 --> 00:04:21,533
and becomes more severe with each generation.

46
00:04:21,533 --> 00:04:25,133
notations in the genes resulting in

47
00:04:27,533 --> 00:04:33,533
myotonic dystrophy type one and myotonic dystrophy type two. Whereas,

48
00:04:33,533 --> 00:04:37,133
those mutations --from functioning properly, impulsive

49
00:04:39,533 --> 00:04:43,133
-- impacting with myotonic dystrophy experience

50
00:04:46,467 --> 00:04:51,467
varied and complex symptoms including cello call --skeletal and

51
00:04:51,467 --> 00:04:53,467
muscle problems.

52
00:04:53,467 --> 00:04:58,267
breathing, digestive hormonal speech, swallowing, diabetic, immune and

53
00:05:00,467 --> 00:05:02,467
cognitive difficulties.

54
00:05:02,467 --> 00:05:06,667
complicated disorder in which younger individual symptoms

55
00:05:08,467 --> 00:05:12,467
first appear, the more severe systems occurring after

56
00:05:12,467 --> 00:05:14,867
early symptoms are experienced.

57
00:05:20,467 --> 00:05:23,467
currently no treatments for myotonic dystrophy approved by the food and drug administration.

58
00:05:23,467 --> 00:05:27,467
therefore, by the virtue of authority vested in me as the mayor of

59
00:05:27,467 --> 00:05:32,267
the city of ocala, florida, dubai proclaim september

60
00:05:32,467 --> 00:05:35,467
15th, 2024, as international myotonic dystrophy

61
00:05:36,467 --> 00:05:38,467
awareness day.

62
00:05:38,467 --> 00:05:45,670
I urge all citizens to participate by talking about their experiences

63
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,400
our community to raise awareness and help foster greater understanding

64
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,600
about this disease. Witness whereof, -- to

65
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,600
be affixed this 15th day, september, 2024. Awesome.

66
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:12,400
this is a really big deal for you to do this. We are so grateful to

67
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:18,400
have here. Would you like to share a little bit?

68
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,000
>> myotonic dystrophy, a word I never

69
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,400
heard before. Aware that controls my

70
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,400
life.

71
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:35,400
myotonic dystrophy is an inherited muscle g generating disease. Characterizes

72
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,400
by the inability to relax muscles.

73
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,400
it affects how much of the human body.

74
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,400
the effects on the body are unrelenting from the breathing

75
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,400
and heart issues that affect so much of our daily lives,

76
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:54,400
to the cognitive and g.I. Issues that can make social activities so uncomfortable.

77
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,400
early cataracts, drooping eyelids, and the effects

78
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:01,400
on the hands can be a parent. It's the effects you cannot see

79
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,400
that play --as well as their families. Constant

80
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:10,400
pain, problems with swallowing, breathing, the electrical conduction of

81
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,400
the heart, lack of quality sleep are most concerning my family. Cleveland

82
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:19,400
states myotonic dystrophy is the most common form of

83
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,400
dystrophy in adults.

84
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,400
it is still an unknown disease to so many.

85
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,400
the diagnosis of myotonic dystrophy can take an average of 7 to 10 years.

86
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,400
in my family the diagnosis came after years of struggles for my husband

87
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,400
and children. 2018, my finally received his confirmation through

88
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,400
genetic testing.

89
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:45,333
immediately after my husband's diagnosis, all three of my sons were diagnosed.

90
00:07:45,333 --> 00:07:49,333
there's not much literature on this disease.

91
00:07:49,333 --> 00:07:52,933
upon speaking with residents and students

92
00:07:53,333 --> 00:07:55,333
in the medical field it was agreed this disease is underrecognized and

93
00:07:55,333 --> 00:07:58,333
there's not much time devoted to education on this

94
00:07:58,333 --> 00:08:02,333
disease when one is in medical school. I would like to change that.

95
00:08:02,333 --> 00:08:04,333
I remember as a child, I cannot wait for labor day weekend, not because

96
00:08:04,333 --> 00:08:07,333
we had a vacation plan, but because we

97
00:08:07,333 --> 00:08:11,333
were going to watch the telethon all

98
00:08:11,333 --> 00:08:13,333
weekend. To have someone with his stature and how so many volunteers

99
00:08:13,333 --> 00:08:16,333
come together to bring awareness to muscular dystrophy

100
00:08:16,333 --> 00:08:19,333
and types was an amazing feat. A feat we no

101
00:08:19,333 --> 00:08:23,533
longer have. This proclamation is so important.

102
00:08:24,333 --> 00:08:28,333
first in florida, but definitely not the last. It's important to the families

103
00:08:28,333 --> 00:08:31,333
that are struggling. Their doctors never heard of myotonic dystrophy.

104
00:08:31,333 --> 00:08:34,933
it's important as volunteers and I

105
00:08:37,333 --> 00:08:41,333
--advocates. We have a start. We have the recognition and competence

106
00:08:41,333 --> 00:08:46,267
to go on to other cities and our state as a whole. International myotonic

107
00:08:46,267 --> 00:08:50,267
awareness day, to be recognized throughout our state

108
00:08:50,267 --> 00:08:55,267
would be incredible. Most importantly, this proclamation gives our warriors

109
00:08:55,267 --> 00:08:57,267
the recognition and strength to keep fighting. September

110
00:08:57,267 --> 00:09:00,267
15th, we ask anyone willing or able to do so in

111
00:09:00,267 --> 00:09:03,867
honor of international myotonic dystrophy day.

112
00:09:04,267 --> 00:09:08,467
this is jamie. He's an effective person.

113
00:09:10,267 --> 00:09:16,267
emma is a researcher, but she also has family --emma, do you want

114
00:09:16,267 --> 00:09:17,267
to go first?

115
00:09:17,267 --> 00:09:19,267
>> sure.

116
00:09:19,267 --> 00:09:24,670
>> hi, my name is emma. I am and

117
00:09:25,267 --> 00:09:28,267
unaffected member of a family with myotonic dystrophy.,

118
00:09:28,267 --> 00:09:33,667
ph --phd student at florida where we studied myotonic

119
00:09:37,267 --> 00:09:39,267
dystrophy. At the university of florida we

120
00:09:39,267 --> 00:09:41,267
have a team of medical doctors, physical therapists and researchers dedicated

121
00:09:41,267 --> 00:09:43,267
to helping patients with myotonic dystrophy through care

122
00:09:43,267 --> 00:09:45,200
and research.

123
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:51,200
our research focuses on understanding molecular causes of symptoms, improving

124
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,200
animal models and developing treatments.

125
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,200
as a field we are confident treatments will be available

126
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,200
in the coming years. The local medical and research committee are grateful

127
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,200
for the government in recognizing

128
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,200
the state of myotonic dystrophy awareness.

129
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,200
as researchers we hope promoting

130
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,200
awareness will help improve the lives of people with myotonic dystrophy,

131
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,200
improve accuracy of diagnosis, raise funds for research and

132
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:19,200
when treatments are available, get them to the people who need them before

133
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,200
their disease progresses.

134
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,200
>> good afternoon, my name is jamie.

135
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,400
I was diagnosed in 2017 . First member of

136
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,200
my family to be diagnosed.

137
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,200
so often we think something like this affects

138
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,200
other people. I graduated, we moved here in 1996 , graduated from

139
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,200
high school , went to the university of florida.

140
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,600
I have six daughters.

141
00:10:49,133 --> 00:10:51,133
three at vanguard currently.

142
00:10:51,133 --> 00:10:54,733
three that have graduated from vanguard.

143
00:11:00,133 --> 00:11:04,133
so often it's the other person, it's not me. I

144
00:11:04,133 --> 00:11:06,133
travel internationally.

145
00:11:07,133 --> 00:11:10,133
I just took my 10th trip out of the country this year. I speak

146
00:11:10,133 --> 00:11:13,733
internationally. This affects everything I do.

147
00:11:14,133 --> 00:11:18,333
in 2017, shortly after being diagnosed, I realized

148
00:11:19,133 --> 00:11:22,133
I had to sleep with a cpap.

149
00:11:22,133 --> 00:11:26,333
four years ago, I had a pacemaker.

150
00:11:30,133 --> 00:11:34,133
this is someone who is healthy, doing triathlons not many years ago. Writing

151
00:11:34,133 --> 00:11:37,733
100 miles plus on my bike. We

152
00:11:38,133 --> 00:11:42,133
heard about bike trails earlier. No I cannot do any of those things.

153
00:11:42,133 --> 00:11:45,670
I am still very active. I work out five times

154
00:11:45,670 --> 00:11:49,670
a week. When we think something like this is just

155
00:11:49,670 --> 00:11:53,867
something that affects those people, something here in

156
00:11:55,670 --> 00:11:57,670
our community.

157
00:11:58,670 --> 00:12:00,670
my six daughters, several of them are impacted. My

158
00:12:00,670 --> 00:12:03,670
dad was the first one when he had a spinal cord injury. We

159
00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:04,670
didn't know. Both of my brothers.

160
00:12:04,670 --> 00:12:09,467
one a doctor, one a business guy. Both have

161
00:12:10,670 --> 00:12:14,133
dm one. When we think it's just other people, it is right here.

162
00:12:14,133 --> 00:12:20,133
thank you on behalf of this group for the proclamation.

163
00:12:29,167 --> 00:12:32,767
>> we will try, squeeze everybody in.

164
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,533
>> next the mayor will present

165
00:13:31,533 --> 00:13:35,933
constitution week proclamation to the daughters of the american revolution regent,

166
00:13:35,933 --> 00:13:37,933
renee coventry.

167
00:14:05,300 --> 00:14:07,133
>> all right, constitution week.

168
00:14:07,133 --> 00:14:09,133
we the people of the united states, in order

169
00:14:09,133 --> 00:14:11,133
to form a more perfect union, establish justice,

170

welfare and secure lessons of liberty to ourselves and

172
00:14:21,133 --> 00:14:23,133
--establish a constitution for the united states of

173
00:14:23,133 --> 00:14:25,133
america. Whereas, september 17th, 1787, the delegates of the federal

174
00:14:25,133 --> 00:14:31,733

>> yeah . Four years they have had this valley

729
00:55:41,500 --> 00:55:43,500
and for years there has been privileged cars allowed to park

730
00:55:43,500 --> 00:55:45,500
there without being moved to the parking lot

731
00:55:45,500 --> 00:55:47,500
and that creates a congestion problem with people that are backing

732
00:55:47,500 --> 00:55:52,500
out when you got four or five cars backed up there. There

733
00:55:52,500 --> 00:55:57,500
is new management there. Re-stressed that they don't these

734

privilege cars parking there .2 I spoke with the new manager, don and

735
00:56:06,500 --> 00:56:09,500
addressed that issue with wrapping per the ordinance they are allowed

736
00:56:09,500 --> 00:56:11,500
to be there for 15 minutes which allows him

737
00:56:11,500 --> 00:56:15,500
to move the vehicles more adequately . But they are aware of the

738
00:56:15,500 --> 00:56:17,500
concerns and they are working addressing that with

739
00:56:17,500 --> 00:56:19,500
their staff .2 I have heard this from previous owners .

740
00:56:19,500 --> 00:56:22,500

858
01:04:19,767 --> 01:04:22,767
can I have a motion to adopt the budget resolution

859
01:04:22,767 --> 01:04:24,767

>> yes, sir. My name is john gam, 2123 southeastern place in ocala,

901
01:07:06,700 --> 01:07:10,600
florida . I do have some handouts to give out to the city council.

902
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:17,800
they follow through of what I'm going to show when I present .

903
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:38,200
first, I would like to thank the mayor and city council for hearing

904
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:39,200
representation. I will make it real?

905
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:43,200
first I want to start with a video and it is going

906
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:46,200
to play on the screen .

907
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:49,000
>> [ indiscernible - low volume ]

908
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:13,200
the fence that was broken by the marion county sheriff's department

909
01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:15,200
and the ocala police . They did it because they were

910
01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:18,200
doing their job . This happened on the eighth of july. A few

911
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:22,200
days later, I received, can you put number two,

912
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:25,200
please . I received a notice of violation

913
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:28,200
from the city of ocala . And basically they are

914
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:32,200
citing me , as you can see, bring it up

915
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:35,200
a little bit more . Just bring up the slide, they go . They

916
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:40,000
cited me for having a dilapidated fence because

917
01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:47,200
the boards were torn down . And actually were on the ground.

918
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:50,200
so I get a citation a few days later from the city of ocala

919
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:53,200
for code enforcement from the ocala pd and the sheriff's department tearing

920
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:57,200
down my fence. This fence is about five, maybe six years old.

921
01:09:57,200 --> 01:10:00,200
it was in great condition. It was weathered a little bit but it is

922
01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:02,200
in excellent condition . Can you go to the next slide, please? This was

923
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:04,267
signed by miss jennifer buehler, the senior,

924
01:10:04,267 --> 01:10:06,200
the violation and the citation was inspected

925
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:09,100
and written and signed by jennifer buehler, was reviewed by mr.

926
01:10:09,100 --> 01:10:13,100
dale hollandsworth . I'm sure, go to the next one, please . You can

927
01:10:13,100 --> 01:10:15,100
see sir dale hollingsworth, he reviewed the video . And

928
01:10:15,100 --> 01:10:19,900
basically the citation is based on the video .

929
01:10:20,100 --> 01:10:23,100
they received a anonymous call from someone to review a video that

930
01:10:23,100 --> 01:10:27,900
the sheriff had , a body cam video and

931
01:10:29,100 --> 01:10:34,100
they went ahead and issued a citation because the boards were torn down .

932
01:10:34,100 --> 01:10:39,100
>> mr. Grant? Time is up >> sir, can I have a few more minutes?

933
01:10:39,100 --> 01:10:41,100
>> we haven't been --

934
01:10:41,100 --> 01:10:43,100
>> I'm sorry, sir .

935
01:10:43,100 --> 01:10:45,100
>> okay .

936
01:10:46,100 --> 01:10:48,100
>> maybe one minute more of this. >> yes, ma'am .

937
01:10:48,100 --> 01:10:51,100
>> but basically my biggest concern , go to the next one, please.

938
01:10:51,100 --> 01:10:54,100
my biggest concern is not getting the citation but actually,

939
01:10:54,100 --> 01:10:59,330
I wasn't responsible for the actual destruction . That destruction was

940
01:10:59,330 --> 01:11:02,330
the ocala pd and the sheriff's department . And the

941
01:11:02,330 --> 01:11:06,330
citation was based on the video, that both officers,

942
01:11:06,330 --> 01:11:09,330
code enforcement officer saw the video and base

943
01:11:09,330 --> 01:11:14,330
their citation on that video . They saw that the boards

944
01:11:14,330 --> 01:11:19,330
were destroyed by the ocala pd and the sheriff

945
01:11:19,330 --> 01:11:22,330
department . I had nothing to do with it. I think that is an

946
01:11:22,330 --> 01:11:25,330
unethical act by the code enforcement officers for them to

947
01:11:25,330 --> 01:11:28,330
issue me a citation for boards and fence that was

948
01:11:28,330 --> 01:11:32,330
destroyed by the opd and the sheriff's department.

949
01:11:32,330 --> 01:11:35,330
there is a couple of, I did a public record request through the city of

950
01:11:35,330 --> 01:11:39,330
ocala and for any violations or any kind of

951
01:11:39,330 --> 01:11:41,330
complaints concerning my house and it came back

952
01:11:41,330 --> 01:11:45,330
from the city of ocala and the code enforcement office saying

953
01:11:45,330 --> 01:11:49,330
that there has been no violations or any complaints concerning my

954
01:11:49,330 --> 01:11:52,330
house for the last five years . Can you go to

955
01:11:52,330 --> 01:11:55,330
the next one, please? There is a couple of issues concerning

956
01:11:55,330 --> 01:12:01,330
florida statute on this case . The body camera video that

957
01:12:01,967 --> 01:12:04,967
is taken inside a , of a private place . Where someone would

958
01:12:04,967 --> 01:12:07,967
be considered a rabbit place .

959
01:12:09,967 --> 01:12:11,967
confidential, nobody can use it for any kind of evidence

960
01:12:11,967 --> 01:12:16,167
to include code enforcement . The second one,

961
01:12:16,967 --> 01:12:19,967
go to the next one, please, is florida statutes number

962
01:12:19,967 --> 01:12:22,967
162 21 3b, basically a code enforcement officer cannot

963
01:12:22,967 --> 01:12:28,967
initiate a investigation based on a potential violation based on

964
01:12:31,967 --> 01:12:34,967
an anonymous call . So they received an anonymous

965
01:12:34,967 --> 01:12:37,967
call and then they started investigation . So that is a violation

966
01:12:37,967 --> 01:12:40,967
of the code . There is one specific aspect that says in case

967
01:12:40,967 --> 01:12:46,967
there is a danger to the public. I don't think

968
01:12:46,967 --> 01:12:49,967
the fence boards are a danger to the public. Where they can do it

969
01:12:49,967 --> 01:12:52,967
without . Can you go to the next one complete? The second issue I've

970
01:12:52,967 --> 01:12:57,900
got in addition to being cited for something that I didn't

971
01:12:57,900 --> 01:13:01,900
for is the fact that I was being targeted individually for that house.

972
01:13:01,900 --> 01:13:04,900
my house , this is the house , the picture shows the house next

973
01:13:04,900 --> 01:13:07,900
door to me . On the left side . And you can see

974
01:13:07,900 --> 01:13:13,900
major growth of the front yard , go to the next

975
01:13:13,900 --> 01:13:16,900
one, please . And you can see dead branches on the ground. Officer

976
01:13:16,900 --> 01:13:19,900
buehler cited me for dead branch on the ground . She had

977
01:13:19,900 --> 01:13:24,100
to look at the house next door

978
01:13:25,900 --> 01:13:27,900
for her to see my house . So you can see

979
01:13:27,900 --> 01:13:30,900
the house next door, go to the next one, please . You can see that,

980
01:13:30,900 --> 01:13:32,900
no, more pictures . You can see there is vines, there's all

981
01:13:32,900 --> 01:13:36,900
kinds of vegetation growth on all my neighbors . Go to the next one.

982
01:13:36,900 --> 01:13:39,900
that is the house next door on the right side of my house.

983
01:13:39,900 --> 01:13:42,900
it also has major amounts of vegetation and growth but

984
01:13:42,900 --> 01:13:46,900
they didn't cite them . They cited me .

985
01:13:46,900 --> 01:13:50,500
so I went around the neighborhood.

986
01:13:54,900 --> 01:13:58,833
that neighborhood is a small neighborhood, pretty much . And I took pitchers

987
01:13:58,833 --> 01:14:02,833
of all the different houses that are there. There are a lot worse condition,

988
01:14:02,833 --> 01:14:04,833
a lot more growth than my house. So I was individually

989
01:14:04,833 --> 01:14:09,633
targeted by getting a citation that should be ,

990
01:14:09,833 --> 01:14:13,833
I mean, if you're going to target me for having something then

991
01:14:13,833 --> 01:14:18,330
please, you know, don't single me out.

992
01:14:22,833 --> 01:14:25,833
and the biggest issue is right now I have absolutely no,

993
01:14:25,833 --> 01:14:28,833
can you go to the next one? Well, I don't have the last one. Actually

994
01:14:28,833 --> 01:14:30,833
I don't have it on me .

995
01:14:30,833 --> 01:14:33,833
but it is in your handouts. Right now I don't have any confidence in

996
01:14:33,833 --> 01:14:35,833
the city of ocala code enforcement . I have absolutely zero confidence

997
01:14:35,833 --> 01:14:38,833
on their ethical, behavior , on their honesty

998
01:14:38,833 --> 01:14:41,833
and on their fairness . And I am asking,

999
01:14:41,833 --> 01:14:44,833
I am humbly asking the mayor and the city council to override

1000
01:14:44,833 --> 01:14:47,833
the city of ocala code enforcement citation

1001
01:14:47,833 --> 01:14:50,833
and withdraw that citation , breaking of a fence by the police

1002
01:14:50,833 --> 01:14:53,833
and law enforcement in doing their job

1003
01:14:53,833 --> 01:14:57,433
and me getting cited for its ,

1004
01:14:58,767 --> 01:15:02,767
that is totally, to me, that is totally unethical.

1005
01:15:02,767 --> 01:15:05,767
just consider if you were in my position, how would you feel? I was

1006
01:15:05,767 --> 01:15:06,767
very, very upset.

1007
01:15:06,767 --> 01:15:07,767
so, do you have any questions?

1008
01:15:07,767 --> 01:15:10,767
>> I have a question . What

1009
01:15:11,767 --> 01:15:18,767
indicates that somebody sent the body cam video to code enforcement to watch?

1010
01:15:18,767 --> 01:15:20,767
>> I have no idea, man . According to the report,

1011
01:15:20,767 --> 01:15:23,767
they received an anonymous tip that they received an anonymous tip

1012
01:15:23,767 --> 01:15:28,567
to look at this video about a property.

1013
01:15:30,767 --> 01:15:33,767
so that is what they did, they looked at the video, it was an

1014
01:15:33,767 --> 01:15:35,767
anonymous tip, they looked at the video and when they looked at the

1015
01:15:35,767 --> 01:15:38,767
video they saw the police, the marion county

1016
01:15:38,767 --> 01:15:41,767
sheriff and the opd breaking the fence . That is my issue, they didn't just

1017
01:15:41,767 --> 01:15:44,767
drive by, saw a broken fence and gave me a citation . They saw

1018
01:15:44,767 --> 01:15:47,767
the police and sheriff breaking the fence

1019
01:15:47,767 --> 01:15:50,767
and they gave me a

1020
01:15:51,767 --> 01:15:55,767
citation for it? I mean, to me, that is an intentional misconduct act .

1021
01:15:55,767 --> 01:15:57,767
you know. I don't know why they did it.

1022
01:15:57,767 --> 01:16:01,767
and I have seen in the last two years way too

1023
01:16:01,767 --> 01:16:05,767
many things or not. I would say misbehavior by

1024
01:16:05,767 --> 01:16:08,767
code enforcement .0, they do a good job in some cases

1025
01:16:08,767 --> 01:16:13,567
and in some cases I think they overstretch.

1026
01:16:13,767 --> 01:16:16,767
you know, so that is my biggest concern . I shouldn't be

1027
01:16:16,767 --> 01:16:19,767
penalized for something that the law enforcement . Actually, police chief, I

1028
01:16:19,767 --> 01:16:20,767
thank you for doing a great job.

1029
01:16:20,767 --> 01:16:22,767
>> thank you.

1030
01:16:25,767 --> 01:16:29,767
this is weird . This is actually really weird

1031
01:16:29,767 --> 01:16:31,767
>> I don't disagree .

1032
01:16:31,767 --> 01:16:36,767
police chief, this is the first I've heard of this.

1033
01:16:36,767 --> 01:16:38,767
I would have concerns, too, about the public records request if that's

1034
01:16:38,767 --> 01:16:41,167
how it came through .

1035
01:16:44,767 --> 01:16:46,767
>> because tips are anonymous when they

1036
01:16:46,767 --> 01:16:48,767
come in to code enforcement, for starters .

1037
01:16:48,767 --> 01:16:50,767
>> I couldn't agree more .

1038
01:16:50,767 --> 01:16:52,767
>> but what is the procedure when we have

1039
01:16:52,767 --> 01:16:53,767
to rip some property down?

1040
01:16:53,767 --> 01:16:56,700
>> it depends but typically we do

1041
01:16:56,700 --> 01:16:59,700
a 1001 injury report . It would go and they

1042
01:16:59,700 --> 01:17:02,700
would make a decision on whether or not it is going to be covered by

1043
01:17:02,700 --> 01:17:04,700
the city . >> okay .

1044
01:17:04,700 --> 01:17:06,700
is a did look, I mean, what happens when it is the sheriff's department

1045
01:17:06,700 --> 01:17:08,700
that is ripping down something that is obviously in our jurisdiction?

1046
01:17:08,700 --> 01:17:10,700
>> typically we would

1047
01:17:13,700 --> 01:17:15,700
file that because it looks, again, I don't know anything about this

1048
01:17:15,700 --> 01:17:19,700
other than what I just saw. Looked like they responded to with a canine

1049
01:17:19,700 --> 01:17:21,700
in the city . So I assume that was a request on the

1050
01:17:21,700 --> 01:17:24,700
part of the ocala police department . And we would cover that if it

1051
01:17:24,700 --> 01:17:28,700
fell within the parameters of what we would normally cover . I'm

1052
01:17:28,700 --> 01:17:29,700
trying to be careful .

1053
01:17:29,700 --> 01:17:32,700
>> so we do know is that

1054
01:17:32,700 --> 01:17:33,700
form was filed?

1055
01:17:33,700 --> 01:17:35,700
>> we don't . But I don't believe that it

1056
01:17:35,700 --> 01:17:38,700
was. But I don't know for sure . I will have to , we will do

1057
01:17:38,700 --> 01:17:42,900
an investigation to the full case. And

1058
01:17:44,700 --> 01:17:50,700
you know, I don't even know what is in the realm of the code

1059
01:17:50,700 --> 01:17:52,700
enforcement case.

1060
01:17:53,700 --> 01:17:57,300
so but we will investigated thoroughly.

1061
01:17:58,633 --> 01:18:05,633
>> I have no issues with the police and also the sheriff department going behind

1062
01:18:05,633 --> 01:18:08,633
a criminal that broke into my fence

1063
01:18:08,633 --> 01:18:11,633
in the privacy of my house . That is no issue. The issue that I have

1064
01:18:11,633 --> 01:18:18,233
is it was done by the opd . That's fine . They were

1065
01:18:18,633 --> 01:18:20,633
doing their job and I thank you for doing it .

1066
01:18:20,633 --> 01:18:23,133
the issue that I have is I was cited by code enforcement

1067
01:18:23,133 --> 01:18:25,667
for that act and they saw that I didn't do it . They saw that the police did it .

1068
01:18:25,667 --> 01:18:27,400
>> we will get to the bottom of it, okay .

1069
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:30,333
we will direct the city manager. >> yes, please .

1070
01:18:30,333 --> 01:18:32,333
>> code enforcement works for to get to the bottom of this .

1071
01:18:32,333 --> 01:18:34,333
>> yes, sir.

1072
01:18:34,333 --> 01:18:36,333
>> will get the form filed for the repair the

1073
01:18:36,333 --> 01:18:38,333
offense if it is approved and we will move forward from there.

1074
01:18:38,333 --> 01:18:41,333
>> I've gotten the repairs, it is just the citation that needs to go .

1075
01:18:41,333 --> 01:18:43,267
>> thank you .

1076
01:18:43,267 --> 01:18:46,867
I will have some information tomorrow .

1077
01:18:46,933 --> 01:18:49,333
>> thank you . >> yes, sir .

1078
01:18:56,400 --> 01:19:00,600
please state your name, your address , 597 northeast

1079
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:07,800
45th terrace , ocala . I noticed in the digital newspaper

1080
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:13,200
today that rural king had to shut down

1081
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:20,400
having animals and vegetables and other things for sale because it was

1082
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:25,800
not in the proper impeachment . Are you getting ready

1083
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:29,400
to tell me some good news? Okay. I've actually

1084
01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:33,000
sold some roosters out there myself .

1085
01:19:33,400 --> 01:19:35,400
>> yep . >> chief balkan .

1086
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:37,400
>> what do they call that?

1087
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:40,400
an attractive nuisance . But anyway .

1088
01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:46,200
I think they are providing a tremendous service

1089
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:50,333
for people to be able to come in and buy vegetables and other,

1090
01:19:50,333 --> 01:19:52,333
cell some rabbits and chickens and turkeys

1091
01:19:52,333 --> 01:19:57,333
and other animals . Whoever has that in their district,

1092
01:19:57,333 --> 01:20:00,333
I would ask that you go out and ask them to apply

1093
01:20:00,333 --> 01:20:06,333
for a special permanent --permit. Because I'm sure the city

1094
01:20:06,333 --> 01:20:11,133
has to have a special permit for the,

1095
01:20:12,333 --> 01:20:16,333
what do you call your place? Market, thank you.

1096
01:20:16,333 --> 01:20:19,333
>> we don't sell live animals and that might be part of it.

1097
01:20:19,333 --> 01:20:21,333
>> will are we worried that someone is going to come in and say there

1098
01:20:21,333 --> 01:20:23,333
might be a goat flew or a chicken flew? Or a rabbit flu?

1099
01:20:23,333 --> 01:20:26,333
>> I think more in this case

1100
01:20:26,333 --> 01:20:28,333
it was that a goat would run in the road and get

1101
01:20:28,333 --> 01:20:33,333
hit by a car and killed. And that may have happened, may not

1102
01:20:33,333 --> 01:20:36,333
have anecdotally that is . But it is coming in a , outdoor sales

1103
01:20:36,333 --> 01:20:38,733
of livestock is permitted.

1104
01:20:41,333 --> 01:20:43,333
jeff, you can correct me . I think it is

1105
01:20:43,333 --> 01:20:49,333
permitted in any district in the city other than agricultural.

1106
01:20:50,267 --> 01:20:53,267
>> yes, thank you . Management director .

1107
01:20:54,267 --> 01:20:57,267
yeah , pete is correct on this. We can look at the

1108
01:20:57,267 --> 01:21:01,267
code amendment being a way to address it if

1109
01:21:01,267 --> 01:21:04,267
you're going to allow that type of use at the location .

1110
01:21:04,267 --> 01:21:06,267
>> or at any location .

1111
01:21:06,267 --> 01:21:08,267
>> will, we were and

1112
01:21:08,267 --> 01:21:13,667
agricultural community and county for longer than we have

1113
01:21:15,267 --> 01:21:18,267
been the horse capital of the world or anything else. And I just

1114
01:21:18,267 --> 01:21:21,267
like having the opportunity to go out and

1115
01:21:21,267 --> 01:21:25,267
buy vegetables there and do whatever and so

1116
01:21:25,267 --> 01:21:28,267
if there is any way that something can happen I would

1117
01:21:28,267 --> 01:21:30,267
like to see it happen. Thank you.

1118
01:21:30,267 --> 01:21:32,267
>> thank you .

1119
01:21:36,267 --> 01:21:38,267
yes, sir.

1120
01:21:41,267 --> 01:21:45,267
>> since we have a new meeting I will take one more shot

1121
01:21:45,267 --> 01:21:47,267
at this.

1122
01:21:48,267 --> 01:21:51,200
I did fill out the form, I don't know what happened to it .

1123
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:54,200
I apologize . Northeast first avenue . One think that I became aware

1124
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:57,200
of after I spoke to you in the cra meeting, apparently

1125
01:21:57,200 --> 01:22:00,200
I was improperly informed that this project

1126
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:03,200
is not real dependent. Of

1127
01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:08,200
barely they intend to tell the county that it is real dependent on

1128
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:12,200
raw materials coming in but not on materials going out

1129
01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:15,200
. I do not believe you have another meeting

1130
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:20,200
prior to when this will be considered by the county . I don't know how

1131
01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:21,200
you deliver a message to the county .

1132
01:22:21,200 --> 01:22:24,200
but I will take it from this perspective, apart

1133
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:29,600
from the cra. I attended the urban three presentation.

1134
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:33,200
the urban three presentation was all about how you get the most

1135
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:36,200
well producing property you can from a tax basis . This rail line

1136
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:39,800
runs behind residential . In order to

1137
01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:45,200
protect the value of your residential developments along

1138
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:48,200
this line you need to send a clear message that

1139
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:51,200
the increase in rail additional,

1140
01:22:52,133 --> 01:22:55,133
whether it is additional transit or just additional

1141
01:22:55,133 --> 01:22:59,133
parts, the difference between having four parts

1142
01:22:59,133 --> 01:23:03,133
past behind her house and 30 cards past behind your house is significant so I

1143
01:23:03,133 --> 01:23:09,133
would ask before the county considers this, you either give

1144
01:23:09,133 --> 01:23:12,133
mr. Lee the ability to send a message on your

1145
01:23:12,133 --> 01:23:16,133
behalf or send a message that the increase

1146
01:23:16,133 --> 01:23:18,167
in rail traffic from this project is a concern.

1147
01:23:18,167 --> 01:23:20,670
we are dealing with immediate benefit versus the long-term best interest of our community

1148
01:23:20,670 --> 01:23:22,333
and I would ask that you please send that message. Thank you .

1149
01:23:22,333 --> 01:23:25,333
>> thank you. Anybody have any comments on that?

1150
01:23:25,333 --> 01:23:27,333
>> I cannot agree more . Absolutely not agree more .

1151
01:23:27,333 --> 01:23:30,333
>> so you would like me to drop

1152
01:23:30,333 --> 01:23:32,333
something to deliver that message?

1153
01:23:32,333 --> 01:23:35,333
>> you deliver the message . I have delivered it to mr. Shealy.

1154
01:23:35,333 --> 01:23:38,333
I will deliver to the county commissioners . Because none of us

1155
01:23:38,333 --> 01:23:41,267
any good to have an increase in traffic . Okay,

1156
01:23:41,267 --> 01:23:45,267
so they danced around, we're not going to have any more trains going

1157
01:23:45,267 --> 01:23:50,267
through there. But we've got four cars to 30 cars .

1158
01:23:50,267 --> 01:23:53,267
>> we will have it drafted by the end of the day

1159
01:23:53,267 --> 01:23:56,267
tomorrow for your individual use.

1160
01:23:57,267 --> 01:24:00,867
>> okay, thank you . Okay, anything else?
