It is a republic for which stands one nation under the law and the invisible.

6
00:00:47,390 --> 00:00:49,090
The United States does this to the law.

7

We're going to have a chance to read those.

20
00:01:24,230 --> 00:01:25,790
We have a motion.

21
00:01:26,350 --> 00:01:27,330
Motion approval.

22
00:01:27,650 --> 00:01:27,990

Commissioner Richards.

25
00:01:30,030 --> 00:01:30,590
Any discussion?

26
00:01:30,870 --> 00:01:31,850
All in favor, all opposed?

27
00:01:32,530 --> 00:01:33,750
Carries 4-0.

28
00:01:33,750 --> 00:01:41,270
So presentations and announcements, consent agenda.

29
00:01:43,110 --> 00:01:53,950
The only one we need to pull is a G11 because we do have a card on that, so we'll pull that and let anybody else have anything else they want.

30
00:01:59,150 --> 00:02:05,010
Okay, yeah, that's fine. All right, um, Larry McDonnell,

31
00:02:07,150 --> 00:02:08,210
Larry,

32
00:02:11,260 --> 00:02:12,980
or Michael Brown, one of

33
00:02:12,980 --> 00:02:13,360
the two.

34
00:02:14,580 --> 00:02:15,200
Mr.

35
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:36,360
Chair, four members. Thank you for letting us out of the water. Michael Brown, I am

36
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:46,440
and we, the club, sent you a related notice and asking for your support for the 9th anniversary.

37
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,820
I heard that it had last weekend and you will not enough to ask the agenda for consideration.

38
00:02:53,740 --> 00:02:58,960
Recently, the club of Palm Beach County, West Palm Beach, is 9 years old.

39
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:07,840
Mr. McDowell here is the president of the bill of when they represent them and when they

40
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:14,460
advise me that they were having a 90th celebration, I suggested that they contact the board of

41
00:03:14,460 --> 00:03:19,880
companies, I found out they already had sent an email whether or not they contact them, I suggest

42
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:25,920
if they come and introduce themselves to you and give them those other information about who they are

43
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:34,740
So that one you'll consider having to support them for the event they have last week into in the future that you will consider supporting them.

44
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,640
And that I would like to introduce Mr. Larry McHall, who's the President of the Browfowl.

45
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,600
And he'll be able to tell you more about what the club has in the system.

46
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,260
Good, thank you.

47
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,560
Yeah, I appreciate you taking the time.

48
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:56,120
and our mission is to speak real families and businesses such as 1935 in Palm Beach County.

49
00:03:56,260 --> 00:04:01,520
We serve the needs of the blind and visual impaired residents of the county.

50
00:04:04,830 --> 00:04:10,030
Located in Palm Beach, we have our own facility.

51
00:04:10,750 --> 00:04:16,490
We provide social, recreational, educational activities for blind people.

52
00:04:16,490 --> 00:04:25,190
We don't receive any grants or gifts from the government grants or federal programs.

53
00:04:26,310 --> 00:04:30,250
We run 1% of our donation and charitable donations.

54
00:04:30,590 --> 00:04:32,950
We are five or one C-3 organizations.

55
00:04:33,930 --> 00:04:41,510
We don't have any paid invoices out of our efforts to work with the organizations owned by the

56
00:04:45,630 --> 00:04:58,670
We have a number of things in the community over the gas holidays season where we are able to help our organizations in the light of violence for the soft budget, we are able to feed over 800.

57
00:05:03,270 --> 00:05:08,870
We are able to provide fields for all of the residents of the labor and poverty.

58
00:05:11,590 --> 00:05:12,950
We have re-authorization.

59
00:05:13,810 --> 00:05:26,650
So in the area, we try to involve in the community or part of the community where we spend time in restaurants, in groups, in restaurants, moving areas, all kinds of events.

60
00:05:27,870 --> 00:05:34,910
So, just to give you a little information about the embarkation of my family, we do have

61
00:05:34,910 --> 00:05:43,650
the US that come up where we require communities, we ask for community support, and put it on

62
00:05:43,650 --> 00:05:44,450
a different program.

63
00:05:45,070 --> 00:05:47,190
That's what we're here to ask you.

64
00:05:47,890 --> 00:05:52,790
I personally, this is my first time attending a 4th meeting and I would like to know about

65
00:05:52,790 --> 00:05:54,190
what the 4th actually is.

00:06:00,970 --> 00:06:09,210
Thank you very much so we'll we'll open it up and like I say if anyone can has money. Yes, sir

69
00:06:23,310 --> 00:06:27,330
I'm more than happy to support it. I just hope your trade is overcharging you. He's a well-known

70
00:06:27,330 --> 00:06:38,570
know. Well known highly regarded attorney and that you don't have to.

71
00:06:40,830 --> 00:06:42,050
I'm that that

72
00:06:42,050 --> 00:06:45,910
that was that was so that's for Mr. Brown is a former port commission so welcome back

73
00:06:45,910 --> 00:06:51,910

74
00:06:51,910 --> 00:06:55,890
that to you know I wish you the best so thank you for coming here today.

75
00:06:55,890 --> 00:07:00,150
All right. Well, we'll definitely leave that open. And then go ahead, Versa.

76
00:07:00,330 --> 00:07:06,030
I also am very excited to support you. I don't know how much I have in my fund.

77
00:07:06,830 --> 00:07:13,470
Is it not? No. Do you have like a brochure with the QR code or?

78
00:07:14,150 --> 00:07:19,010
No, but then we did send us information over and we'll go on the street senders and whatever.

79
00:07:19,590 --> 00:07:21,010
What's the name of the website?

80
00:07:40,870 --> 00:07:50,890
All right, so we'll look and check what our balances I would suggest you know it turns over again and the end of August is that right?

81
00:07:50,890 --> 00:08:07,350
for September, so that would be another time to reapply, we'll get you something this time, but then as soon as people have money in there that they can give to 501c3s, so I would suggest you do that too.

82
00:08:08,890 --> 00:08:11,370
All right, go ahead, John.

83
00:08:12,870 --> 00:08:14,490
Good to see you, Mr. Mayor.

84
00:08:14,490 --> 00:08:21,410
And certainly, Mr. McDonald, I am going to give 500.

85
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:23,780
All right.

86
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,220
I've already announced I was going to give 200.

87
00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:27,660
But raise it up to 250.

88
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,180
So with Wayne's, there'll be five and five is a thousand.

89
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,760
And then we'll ask when Jean comes in if she has any funds available.

90
00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:39,180
And we'll just see what we can do for you.

91
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:40,580
Appreciate it.

92
00:08:40,580 --> 00:08:41,520
Okay. Well, thank you.

93
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:42,480
Thank you for coming.

94
00:08:46,550 --> 00:08:56,520
All right, all right,

95
00:09:00,180 --> 00:09:03,920
so now if we have a motion for the consent agenda

96
00:09:06,340 --> 00:09:15,780
Okay, we have a motion the second commissioner cool any discussion all in favor all opposed carries for zero

97
00:09:15,780 --> 00:09:20,640
So, Mr. Unright, not here yet, but she'll be here.

98
00:09:20,780 --> 00:09:21,040
I'm sure,

99
00:09:25,910 --> 00:09:27,650
I guess we're going to district reports.

100
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:33,080
Sir, from Mistress,

101
00:09:36,550 --> 00:09:37,870
not a good month in April,

102
00:09:38,250 --> 00:09:41,370
a total card in funds are up by a whole six percent.

103
00:09:42,030 --> 00:09:44,330
Total TUs are up by a whole 10 percent.

104
00:09:45,610 --> 00:09:48,090
Passengers in Chosen Down had 20 percent,

105
00:09:48,290 --> 00:09:50,330
but that's just a different change to my territory.

106
00:09:51,050 --> 00:09:52,690
We're actually doing very, very well

107
00:09:52,690 --> 00:09:58,670
If we average the amount of the annual 1,300 passengers for recruiting, we're doing the right line.

108
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:29,880
We've completed negotiations with our town construction company and SAV solutions. It's an important granted into the report. This is a pretty big project of your rule that more about it. It's one of the agenda items that we're representing today. We're working in terms of our resiliency grant. If you guys remember that, you've heard it last year. We started chasing that. We put it in. It actually did not get approved the first go around. We're getting ready to do it a second.

109
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:35,220
go around and there was leadership change and after that kind of died.

110
00:10:36,620 --> 00:10:43,240
We have an opportunity in front of us here shortly to chase a PIDP grant.

111
00:10:43,820 --> 00:10:45,020
It's an 820 grant.

112
00:10:45,980 --> 00:10:49,380
That would help us out in heartening this area.

113
00:10:49,660 --> 00:10:51,800
I did want to speak a little additional to that.

114
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,240
So this is the oldest part that we have today, which is about 40 years old.

115
00:10:57,860 --> 00:11:02,580
It's already starting to suffer some of the consequences of the use that it's gotten.

116
00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:05,020
It was not really designed for what we do to it.

117
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:11,620
One of the things that we were looking at is the resiliency originally was the hard in this whole area.

118
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,920
And now we know we have to replace this and we're on a timeline to do that.

119
00:11:16,500 --> 00:11:19,100
So what we would like to do is add that to the resiliency.

120
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:27,100
In addition to that, what we really want to explore the possibility of is winding that birth and deepening that birth.

121
00:11:27,100 --> 00:11:34,640
So what we have going on in the future here, we have a lot of projected growth coming.

122
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:42,520
We already have conflicts with vessels of size that conflict and delaying what we have

123
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:43,560
to do currently today.

124
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:46,600
We can see that getting a lot worse in the future.

125
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:53,360
So now we have the opportunity on an 80-20 to possibly do a big project like this.

126
00:11:54,340 --> 00:11:58,760
And at the very beginning of this, that's why we're coming to you to let you know.

127
00:11:59,620 --> 00:12:05,840
But the PID key grant is due September 16th, so our timeline is really, really short.

128
00:12:06,060 --> 00:12:11,660
What we'd like to do is roll over what we've already put into the resiliency grant and add

129
00:12:11,660 --> 00:12:15,160
now to it what we want to do for the future.

130
00:12:15,900 --> 00:12:17,580
We believe it's a really good project.

131
00:12:18,220 --> 00:12:21,880
Again, we would have had it on the agenda where we're on a short time front here, forget

132
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:28,260
everything through, and we just are now getting ready to get a proposal to move forward with.

133
00:12:29,060 --> 00:12:34,660
So just wanted to put that on the porch radar. This vision is radar, so it's something that's

134
00:12:34,660 --> 00:12:40,020
proven to do now at this time, while you're building the berth, rather than rebuild the berth and

135
00:12:40,020 --> 00:12:45,780
have to do with this radar. And who's the one that gives out the PID grant? Where does that come from?

136
00:12:45,780 --> 00:12:49,600
So it's Mirad, who we've got our period of PID through now today.

137
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:53,460
We've kind of already reached out to them as well as FDOT.

138
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,440
I'll let you know that we have $15 million already set aside

139
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,880
to deal with some of the issues we have with that birth.

140
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:06,220
This would be a high cost for an 820 with the FDOT money we have.

141
00:13:07,140 --> 00:13:10,580
And that would be a curtain time to take advantage of that situation.

142
00:13:11,260 --> 00:13:13,580
And I'm quite sure as we deal with the current PID,

143
00:13:13,580 --> 00:13:16,480
to get additional funds through the law.

144
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,960
So as expensive as a project, does this wait me?

145
00:13:20,460 --> 00:13:22,520
And it can be very beneficial for the future of the board,

146
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,880
number one, and number two, it'll solve a lot

147
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,920
of our burden on issues that challenges

148
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:27,700
that we have today.

149
00:13:28,500 --> 00:13:32,800
And lastly, we're getting about as huge as we would get it.

150
00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:36,240
Mr. Puss, go ahead, I'm sorry.

151
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:37,860
No, I was just saying that.

152
00:13:38,180 --> 00:13:41,440
I think this is extremely timely and important,

153
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,980
and as we do so, I mean we know trade is only increasing

154
00:13:45,980 --> 00:13:47,940
and I'm pretty sure some of our tenants

155
00:13:47,940 --> 00:13:50,920
would appreciate the additional opportunity

156
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,300
to get some ships in and out and to deal

157
00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:55,400
with congestion as well.

158
00:13:55,700 --> 00:13:57,580
So what would be a time frame?

159
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,740
So the grant would deadline is September.

160
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,100
So would you come back to us next month

161
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,820
with a proposal for us to consider the vote on?

162
00:14:08,820 --> 00:14:19,120
So depending on how this works out, I may ask the Chair to give you permission to move ahead and transfer to the resiliency into a PID and let the company who's working on it now,

163
00:14:19,340 --> 00:14:22,800
but continue that work to speed the process through.

164
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,420
We're just on such a tight timeline that they're going to need every minute of this time.

165
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,140
It will give us a good product that we might be able to get.

166
00:14:31,140 --> 00:14:38,240
So, there's $500 million available right now that's addition out for these kind of projects.

167
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,780
There are four criteria and we meet every one of the four criteria.

168
00:14:42,740 --> 00:14:47,260
The best thing about this is while we've improved our rail and we've improved our workways now,

169
00:14:47,500 --> 00:14:52,080
just trying to piggyback some of that and how we improve our birthing and that allows us to

170
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,520
flow more in and out of the port. So, I think it's a way all the way across.

171
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:56,500
I was really happy.

172
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:58,560
Here I was in excess.

173
00:14:58,960 --> 00:14:59,740
That, that, that.

174
00:15:03,740 --> 00:15:20,180
We're going to spend a lot of money on resiliency for the entire laid-on area there. So it's, you killed two or three burns with one shot. Another question is, who would work on preparing the document that the request is the same entity that was working on resiliency?

175
00:15:20,180 --> 00:15:27,960
So that's what I would ask the board for, because they've already done the hardening portion that was already done through the first part.

176
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,200
Now they would just be adding the additional pieces of what we're going for.

177
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:38,780
One of the things that we would do in that hardening is being over 40 years old, all the piping and everything in our house.

178
00:15:38,940 --> 00:15:44,360
So if it goes down to sub and then it gets rebuilt, so it's hard and we don't get to work into these issues anymore in the future.

179
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:52,240
The second part of this is that when we add the birthing, they'll add that portion to this document.

180
00:15:52,980 --> 00:15:55,340
I would say keep it open even if you go forward.

181
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:56,100
That's all.

182
00:15:57,620 --> 00:16:02,240
You said it's expensive like three times, but you didn't say an amount.

183
00:16:02,620 --> 00:16:03,680
So what's your best guess?

184
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,160
Again, it's good for not even there. They have to do cross-based stuff.

185
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:07,280
Right.

186
00:16:08,220 --> 00:16:12,740
So I would put out a target of probably somewhere $80 million.

187
00:16:12,740 --> 00:16:19,380
dollars. Now in that 80 million in 20 we would be responsible for 16, which I've got 15

188
00:16:19,380 --> 00:16:26,400
from FDOC, half of that. If everything goes well, we may end up paying less for this

189
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:31,340
than we get it from the world away. It doesn't always work out that way, but it is a good

190
00:16:31,340 --> 00:16:36,200
opportunity to money wise and time wise to be pretty frustrating. Yeah, when I was a little

191
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,300
I mean, you know, we're going to need it someday.

192
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,340
Does, uh, now which, uh, birth that we already go down,

193
00:16:43,340 --> 00:16:47,400
then we spend some money years ago on one of the bursts

194
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,760
and we, we increased the, uh,

195
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,320
Yeah, there's a couple of that we've worked through for,

196
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:53,640
or especially of your time.

197
00:16:53,860 --> 00:16:53,960
Yeah.

198
00:16:54,140 --> 00:16:55,240
On the first of the south,

199
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,600
obviously we're done a long time ago,

200
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,300
but this is a pain in our own.

201
00:16:59,420 --> 00:17:01,600
This is sort of a, this is a challenge that we have right now.

202
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:02,000
You could.

203
00:17:02,660 --> 00:17:04,000
Some of you haven't been at this age.

204
00:17:04,140 --> 00:17:04,340
Yeah.

205
00:17:04,340 --> 00:17:10,700
All right, we're trying to get a lifetime out of it now where we're actually to the point where we're going to have to start monitoring it

206
00:17:12,020 --> 00:17:15,640
Well, I think it's unanimous that you need to proceed. So

207
00:17:18,350 --> 00:17:22,730
So with that we hold our important chair committee update

208
00:17:22,730 --> 00:17:26,950
With the public meetings they've all been competing. You'll see that of the agenda as well today

209
00:17:27,710 --> 00:17:33,370
I met with the city of Rivera Beach to discuss won't flyers including pervading boring fields and land swaps

210
00:17:33,370 --> 00:17:41,910
another meeting, 7-4-month, we were on recruitment, we fired Joseph Prescott for our facilities

211
00:17:41,910 --> 00:17:48,510
department, and under current recruiting for the IT System Administrator Replicit.

212
00:17:50,940 --> 00:17:56,080
For related events, we have meetings, 21st, important proposal and delegation from

213
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:56,560
Freak Point.

214
00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:01,100
The delegation got a first hand look at the important operations and then with Commissioner

215
00:18:01,100 --> 00:18:05,560
of Wayne Richards, and the executive director myself, to discuss the ongoing

216
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,240
capital development projects as well as emergency hurricane assistance.

217
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:12,780
June 4th, since

218
00:18:12,780 --> 00:18:17,580
hurricane assistance is officially started this month. We held a virtual

219
00:18:17,580 --> 00:18:22,140
preparedness meeting with our tenants and user and employees and that was very

220
00:18:22,140 --> 00:18:26,000
well-appended. Everybody got a lot out of it. I think every year we go a little

221
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:33,920
the further the walk of air. That's always a good thing. And June 9th, the summer internship

222
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,800
program commenced this past Monday. We have a total of eight interns. We'll be working

223
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,600
for us over the next eight weeks. Thank you to our sponsors for the shipping that was

224
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,760
in the software materials for our sugar, molasses, and the change that we had in this

225
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:57,860
We're going to have a couple of the interns that we're going to set up and we're going to show you a lot.

226
00:18:58,400 --> 00:18:59,600
Well, welcome.

227
00:19:01,140 --> 00:19:01,860
Are we good?

228
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,020
Two is here for me, two seconds?

229
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:05,000
Sure.

230
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:05,120
Sure.

231
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,500
If you guys want to say your name, where you're from, where you're from, where you're from,

232
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:18,840
where you're

233
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:42,040
from.

234
00:19:51,690 --> 00:19:56,190
I was never stressed, and I was a IT expert, and I was 10 years old.

235
00:19:56,670 --> 00:19:59,790
I was a major destroyer to my learned, I'm a Lieutenant.

236
00:20:05,340 --> 00:20:08,740
Great. All right. Well, while you welcome. Nice alley.

237
00:20:12,890 --> 00:20:18,870
Okay. All right. Moving on. We have a couple of events. A.P.A.

238
00:20:18,870 --> 00:20:19,830
escaped the

239
00:20:39,270 --> 00:20:40,670
state

240
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,660
of America.

241
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:57,300
Verse

242
00:21:02,420 --> 00:21:06,200
in the Senate agenda are those two, one, two, and three,

243
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:08,020
for a week set up on infrastructure statements,

244
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:09,620
and operating reports,

245
00:21:10,260 --> 00:21:13,440
and truly, and yet again.

246
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,120
As you can see by April,

247
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:17,360
we've been sitting on its own,

248
00:21:17,980 --> 00:21:18,980
but we have a statement,

249
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,380
that revenue is more budget by 38,000.

250
00:21:23,380 --> 00:21:26,360
We're just going to sign Grocery that will slide the under.

251
00:21:27,060 --> 00:21:29,240
Let's make up five key pieces.

252
00:21:29,460 --> 00:21:31,040
I think some words will work out there.

253
00:21:31,380 --> 00:21:32,880
We're going to be able to buy 50,000.

254
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,940
Operating expenses are over budget.

255
00:21:36,500 --> 00:21:38,760
We're working on managing that path into budget.

256
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:40,440
Other income.

257
00:21:41,540 --> 00:21:43,980
And it spends the other expense area.

258
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,480
It's under budget for 46,000.

259
00:21:46,580 --> 00:21:47,900
So right now from on the day of April,

260
00:21:48,120 --> 00:21:50,040
we're at $15,000 to $20,000.

261
00:21:50,300 --> 00:21:50,860
That's the budget.

262
00:21:50,860 --> 00:21:51,720
They

263
00:21:58,410 --> 00:22:06,310
didn't gross revenue is behind the budget by $192,000, the mononies of work makes that up.

264
00:22:06,770 --> 00:22:14,450
So that right now, in that revenue world, even behind by $11,000, offering expenses are bought by $220,000.

265
00:22:15,130 --> 00:22:18,350
Again, we're working on some specific issues that we find that would be compatible.

266
00:22:18,350 --> 00:22:25,910
So quickly, offering expenses on a low budget by $200,000 to $500,000,

267
00:22:26,090 --> 00:22:32,210
and mostly to increase investment earnings, net income is the same.

268
00:22:32,890 --> 00:22:36,670
Right now, we're ahead of budget by $26,000.

269
00:22:37,570 --> 00:22:37,890
We

270
00:22:40,230 --> 00:22:43,150
had the audit committee meeting on those verses.

271
00:22:43,350 --> 00:22:44,130
I want you to pause.

272
00:22:44,310 --> 00:22:47,470
I think members in here are going to help get more money for the results.

273
00:23:09,310 --> 00:23:13,610
Any questions for the record gene entry is in the house.

274
00:23:14,550 --> 00:23:15,910
So put that down.

275
00:23:16,130 --> 00:23:16,250
All right.

276
00:23:16,310 --> 00:23:16,770
No questions.

277
00:23:16,770 --> 00:23:20,830
very good. Thank you. Government affairs, Richard Pinsky.

278
00:23:21,210 --> 00:23:21,530
Mr.

279
00:23:24,380 --> 00:23:26,240
Chair and commissioners, Richard Pinsky.

280
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:35,580
I'd like to report that the 2025 legislative session is over, but it's not continuing budget and

281
00:23:35,580 --> 00:23:43,620
of the negotiations and as we speak, it was, it's supposed to, we're at 100 days, we have

282
00:23:43,620 --> 00:23:50,600
a matter 100 days session since 1955, so this is an extraordinary thing.

283
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:57,300
The hope is to finish by tomorrow, I don't know if that will be the case, they extended technically

284
00:23:57,300 --> 00:24:02,800
the June 18th, but that may have to be extended again, we'll see what happens.

285
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:09,420
It's things that are not in budget conference are seaports in the state of Florida.

286
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:15,700
The governor asked for somewhere around 125 million in his budget, and the cost of

287
00:24:15,700 --> 00:24:21,240
$7,000 in the past, the budget's initially before he went into conference, so around 120

288
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:21,580
million.

289
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:29,560
About $35 million in the event is discretionary, it really, the governor's office is about

290
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:35,360
about $25 million that goes to F-Stand and earlier you asked the question, that was

291
00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:43,300
sooth 3. It cost about $25 million and we did that about 10 or 11 years ago. And we

292
00:24:43,300 --> 00:24:51,100
were paying forward with F-Stand, so I would comment on that. Of course, I went to the other

293
00:24:51,100 --> 00:24:55,140
budget, I had been speaking at I-Stand. So once again, Palm Beach County is asked for $1 million

294
00:24:55,140 --> 00:24:58,340
dollars for restoration in iron facilities.

295
00:25:00,460 --> 00:25:29,840
House offer, debt, senate, senate, no, zero, and then last Thursday, just in the end of last week, the senate came back with $500,000. Count them offer, those won't. That's one of the items that still in play. I don't know how that will end up for, for, for being an item. And unfortunately, we did not get done in the legislative part of the agenda. Our House bill, $7.95, and go $5.94, which we created a buffer zone.

296
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,780
to make sure that there were no vessels anchored in the morning.

297
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,300
I just took it up to the Attorney's Basin for the channel.

298
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,420
We pulled that back and to move, I don't know,

299
00:25:42,620 --> 00:25:44,600
if I didn't have a day, maybe some other options.

300
00:25:45,460 --> 00:25:48,520
I needed that done as far as protecting the port goes.

301
00:25:49,140 --> 00:25:52,740
And then what did pass for this Senate Bill 1662,

302
00:25:53,020 --> 00:25:55,640
which the port director or meetings in myself

303
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,800
were talking about as well as attorney from Arrow,

304
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:06,200
that is the, that is the play for FDOT to do an Estate and start dealing with reports

305
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:12,200
directly that they backed all of that and now just had an extra reporting requirements

306
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:17,780
directly from the 14 reports that are going to Estate directly to park transportation

307
00:26:17,780 --> 00:26:24,720
as in that by any reporting and number of items like park, which is your financial,

308
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:34,500
So, I'm a very tall container and set up a facility to start taking a tracking of what the courts are doing directly with the Court of Transportation.

309
00:26:35,420 --> 00:26:37,160
With that, I'm happy to answer any questions.

310
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:39,940
And, stay tuned.

311
00:26:40,180 --> 00:26:41,380
I'm glad you're blessed to be done.

312
00:26:41,900 --> 00:26:43,260
Anybody have any questions?

313
00:26:43,340 --> 00:26:46,440
I do have a question.

314
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:52,420
And, Mr. Chair, this may be something that we may want to think about workshopping as well.

315
00:26:52,420 --> 00:26:56,060
you know, if I recall, you've been here a while,

316
00:26:56,220 --> 00:26:56,700
I'm just busy.

317
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:03,580
So, and I believe that it was 2016 when the last charter

318
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,620
was rewritten, the last charter.

319
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,140
So the, our charter, the Fort Charter, yeah.

320
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,880
So in 2016, actually, we started in 2017,

321
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,480
we actually codified our Fort Charter,

322
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,320
which was required for the state law

323
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:32,740
Once special districts back in 1889 were asked to recreate their charters, but in statute instead of just hanging out there, which we did in 2017.

324
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:44,180
We subsequently came back a few years later and remained in the charter one more time and got a salary adjustment at that time and a couple of other trees.

325
00:27:44,180 --> 00:27:48,520
So we not really had our own port of charter amendments

326
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,520
in 2020, ready to go, ready to go,

327
00:27:51,620 --> 00:27:53,260
which has happened in the 21st session.

328
00:27:53,860 --> 00:27:58,840
Okay, because I do think that concerning the issue,

329
00:27:59,860 --> 00:28:03,220
grateful for Mr. Romero, working that and you as well,

330
00:28:03,620 --> 00:28:06,020
with the partisan issue with the election.

331
00:28:06,020 --> 00:28:08,300
So I do think we need to address it in our charter

332
00:28:08,300 --> 00:28:19,500
and perhaps look at, I know I've been reviewing the charter for Port Canaveral as well.

333
00:28:19,820 --> 00:28:26,660
So I think we need to tighten up some areas and maybe consider some adjustments to our

334
00:28:26,660 --> 00:28:27,580
charter moving forward.

335
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:35,320
Yeah, that's something that you can also discuss with the attorney and we want to do the

336
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:42,340
prudent thing and uh so that's something we definitely should get a game have a game plan so

337
00:28:42,340 --> 00:28:47,900
I have a couple ideas myself that I'm going to discuss with the attorney so very good any other

338
00:28:47,900 --> 00:28:54,780
questions? I have a question so you're saying if we have an issue then just tell Mr. Fumera or do we

339
00:28:54,780 --> 00:29:04,980
are we going to have a session to discuss it? Or if we have concerns just this is a mess

340
00:29:05,860 --> 00:29:14,020
if we have concerns just inform the attorney or Mr. Pinsky or yeah you both you know

341
00:29:14,020 --> 00:29:18,020
and then I guess then we would have to get together because at the end of the day

342
00:29:18,020 --> 00:29:22,720
we have to collectively make decision right it has to be the in town board if

343
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:28,040
something goes to town I have to correct so and Mr. Pinsky could you tell me when

344
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:33,700
we have to have this in standby is in their deadline I know the session now is in

345
00:29:33,700 --> 00:29:34,200
In January?

346
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:34,960
Are my correct?

347
00:29:35,980 --> 00:29:36,580
Yes.

348
00:29:37,020 --> 00:29:38,020
Commissioner, you are correct.

349
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:43,560
The election year coming up, 26, session will start in the middle of January and in

350
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:44,920
the March.

351
00:29:46,100 --> 00:29:54,220
And so, on each county, Port Charter, if the Commission wants to review or begin to change

352
00:29:54,220 --> 00:29:59,260
it to the Port Charter, all that Mr. from Arizona speaks in the actual election piece of

353
00:29:59,260 --> 00:29:59,480
this.

354
00:30:01,460 --> 00:30:30,300
Do you want to do that? That's considered a local bill. In other words, more charter amendment does not is not a bill of general nature. No one else is affected by it by us. That's a local bill and the Palm Beach County delegation. They haven't given us a date yet, but I'm guessing they'll want local bills heard and processed by October. Maybe the latest November, but I'm guessing you're going to have a local bill ready to serve Palm Beach County, let's say, a delegation by October.

355
00:30:30,300 --> 00:30:32,460
over so back that off to your process.

356
00:30:32,740 --> 00:30:32,920
Okay.

357
00:30:37,620 --> 00:30:40,440
So therefore, I guess we would have to meet

358
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,580
and make a decision around what August September?

359
00:30:45,500 --> 00:30:46,660
Yeah, we've got a few months.

360
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,340
I think, you know, first you talk to our lobbyists

361
00:30:50,340 --> 00:30:51,600
and speak to the attorney

362
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,160
and then we'll formulate a game plan

363
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,340
and then we'll decide whether or not to proceed

364
00:30:58,340 --> 00:31:02,960
need to come this or not? Mr. Attorney, do you have anything that you wanted to add to

365
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,660
this or just? No, just that I think there's an opportunity to take a

366
00:31:07,660 --> 00:31:13,940
fresh look at the charter. Commissioner Poul is right. The only other special

367
00:31:13,940 --> 00:31:18,880
district can have will has a very detailed charter. I'm not sure we need to have

368
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:24,020
that detail, but there are a few areas where I think we would benefit from

369
00:31:24,020 --> 00:31:26,360
and tightening up the language and the authority

370
00:31:26,980 --> 00:31:28,520
and responsibilities of the court.

371
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:29,720
Okay, good.

372
00:31:29,940 --> 00:31:30,860
I have a question.

373
00:31:31,060 --> 00:31:33,040
This entire time where we supposed to be running

374
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,280
and nonpartisan elections,

375
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:36,700
no, that we,

376
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,580
I don't know where we received an inquiry

377
00:31:40,580 --> 00:31:43,240
from the supervisor of elections, General Counsel,

378
00:31:44,260 --> 00:31:45,680
who if they do this,

379
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,740
prior to every election cycle,

380
00:31:48,020 --> 00:31:52,120
they look at the authority for partisan versus nonpartisan,

381
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,140
and they looked at our charter.

382
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,300
There's a provision in chapter 189 for special districts

383
00:31:57,300 --> 00:32:00,440
that says, yup, that explicit authority

384
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:01,880
for partisan elections.

385
00:32:02,420 --> 00:32:04,720
They just looked at our glance that our charter

386
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,560
and go, boy, we don't see anything.

387
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:08,200
They contacted us.

388
00:32:08,700 --> 00:32:11,580
We met, we pointed out that, well,

389
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,380
there is actually language there.

390
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:18,440
And he was satisfied with the language

391
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,360
that we have in the charter for their purposes

392
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:24,660
they're satisfied. So it's it's going to be partisan elections.

393
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,280
Mr. Chair, you know, I'm listening to Dr. Paul, right? I think we need a I would

394
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,540
you just a little more sort a little more certain team with regard to timing.

395
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:40,080
If we want to have this done by October, which is probably saved, back into back

396
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,880
into that probably two months of discussion. Say looking at

397
00:32:54,060 --> 00:32:57,340
But I think we need a little more certainty to make sure we get there.

398
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:03,140
Right. Well, what we need to do is figure out first what we might want to put in the charter.

399
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:10,600
So I think it's best to speak to the, at least to our lobbyists and tell them what you're working thinking.

400
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:16,420
and then we'll come back and maybe August and you know if we go all kind of

401
00:33:16,420 --> 00:33:21,160
agree on some of the key points that all the commission has made and we'll I

402
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:29,320
mean I think that's the best way of doing it. Go ahead um I agree too but I know

403
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,740
that we're five individuals and we probably will have five different things that

404
00:33:33,740 --> 00:33:38,440
we want to discuss so we might need to have a little bit more time and

405
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,760
and perfectly have a workshop.

406
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:42,200
That's my opinion.

407
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,280
Since we're talking about United Nations, Mr. Chair,

408
00:33:45,460 --> 00:33:49,300
if you don't mind, I have observed over the years

409
00:33:50,170 --> 00:33:52,360
and recently that we have people running

410
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:53,900
for candidates for office.

411
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,560
I don't hear if you Democrat, Republican,

412
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,800
Republican, the bottom line is that you,

413
00:34:00,140 --> 00:34:04,740
I feel that no candidate should be able to use our logo

414
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:09,260
and use port upon these logos everywhere on their station

415
00:34:09,260 --> 00:34:11,060
there, on their signs and everything.

416
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,640
And I would like for us to make a decision at this board

417
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,960
and have our attorney to send them a letter that says,

418
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,660
see, stop, and DC, stop, stop, stop.

419
00:34:21,340 --> 00:34:25,680
And if they don't, then we, we will send them,

420
00:34:25,820 --> 00:34:27,840
we will take them to townhouse, see the port.

421
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:29,340
In addition, we will sue them.

422
00:34:29,660 --> 00:34:33,560
But we need to do something because I'm tired of people calling

423
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:39,400
me and San Jean is supporting and supporting that candidate that's using your

424
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:45,560
love so we need I feel that that's a board we need to stand up and stop stop

425
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,900
we thought it's a who they are but it doesn't make any difference

426
00:34:49,900 --> 00:34:54,120
Democrat Republicans like I said don't care I don't care it's just that they

427
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:58,840
should not have the right and people are thinking that we are supporting and they're

428
00:34:58,840 --> 00:34:59,840
a part of us and we

429
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:30,000
And I know this for a fact, some years ago in the city of Riviera Beach, I'm just going to reflect on this for a second. They had an election, city election, and there were candidates who were using the city logo, although they were a part of the county of the city.

430
00:35:30,140 --> 00:35:35,880
commission they were not allowed and they had them to take all the signs and everything down because

431
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:41,940
Your campaign is totally different from you as a poor commission. There are two different

432
00:35:41,940 --> 00:35:43,980
There's a line between you

433
00:35:44,540 --> 00:35:49,940
Represent as an elected official and you as a candidate and in the city it went all the way in town

434
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:56,240
Has it and they made the post take the signs down and they were a part of the commission that their

435
00:35:56,940 --> 00:36:01,600
election science had the city now go and all of that on them.

436
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:07,800
So Mr. Chairman, if I can get a consensus from the board and we can give our attorney

437
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:15,740
direction to address these people or send them a letter telling them, hey, we don't

438
00:36:16,140 --> 00:36:19,580
please stop your.

439
00:36:19,580 --> 00:36:20,540
I mean,

440
00:36:23,300 --> 00:36:32,780
I just want us to clean it up, I want us to sit down, but I think we're moving

441
00:36:32,780 --> 00:36:38,360
whatever, but if we are on my government relationship, so if we can close out and all of that,

442
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:39,380
you can sit down.

443
00:36:39,900 --> 00:36:42,360
Okay, and then we're just talking, heard on it.

444
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:47,920
If I can suggest just having a July workshop that will give everybody time to get their thoughts

445
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:53,900
together, then July, put it all together, have a civil 15, 20 minute workshop for finalization.

446
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,940
We could do it before the board meeting.

447
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:58,000
Sounds good.

448
00:36:58,460 --> 00:36:58,600
Okay.

449
00:36:58,980 --> 00:36:59,160
Okay.

450
00:36:59,860 --> 00:37:06,640
Now, yeah, Mr. Attorney, I understand what you're saying years ago, it was a long time ago,

451
00:37:07,220 --> 00:37:12,920
the local elections office used to kind of get involved in a lot of these, and it used to

452
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:21,900
I don't know if it was a misdemeanor or felony, but years ago, they would act, but now I understand I don't think they care.

453
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,480
They should go to telehats here, do whatever you want to do.

454
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:31,700
So, do you know anything that we can't do because I agree with Commissioner Henry.

455
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:38,000
We can't allow candidates to use our port of logo and things like that.

456
00:37:38,140 --> 00:37:40,740
That's definitely not good.

457
00:37:40,740 --> 00:37:48,120
And by no means an election expert, but I do know that they're in the law.

458
00:37:48,580 --> 00:37:59,600
You are inhibited from using things on election ads that would imply a support by or an endorsement.

459
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:05,000
I know there was a case where someone had a sheriff's office seal and it kind of implied

460
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:11,020
the state division of elections usually weighs in on that I haven't seen the

461
00:38:11,020 --> 00:38:15,220
advertisements that she's referring to I'll take a look at it and if it's your

462
00:38:15,220 --> 00:38:23,280
desire we can alert the division and send a letter here yes sir whether it's

463
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:34,980
a division of elections or some other entity I would concur that we don't want

464
00:38:34,980 --> 00:38:42,060
the attorney boards, the elections, I would concur that we would want to stop that occurred.

465
00:38:42,860 --> 00:38:47,740
Also, Mr. Chairman, if we could give him direction to send those individuals, the matters.

466
00:38:48,240 --> 00:38:54,540
And I can you streets on your way home where you can stop and see where I local is in places, okay?

467
00:38:55,040 --> 00:39:01,500
So on your way home, I tell you where to go, but if it's okay with the board,

468
00:39:01,500 --> 00:39:06,680
if he, after he sees proof that he could just write them a letter and ask them,

469
00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:13,860
hey, as for as I'm concerned, please just stop. And if they continue, then we do

470
00:39:13,860 --> 00:39:17,420
something else. But I'll give you some streets to drive down on the way to the

471
00:39:17,420 --> 00:39:21,920
area. Okay. Okay. I think we all agree. All right. Very good.

472
00:39:24,270 --> 00:39:24,890
All right.

473
00:39:26,750 --> 00:39:30,910
Commissioners, for Mr. Richard, do you have anything? Nothing additional.

474
00:39:37,110 --> 00:39:59,970
I was not aware that this was even occurring, but if there's already a provision in the Department of State, I think that they're the proper entity to address this issue, if there's already legislation or regulation speaking to this exact issue, I would defer to them as the issue.

475
00:40:04,510 --> 00:40:12,030
Okay. All right. We're moving on to full business. Mr. Ford.

476
00:40:30,210 --> 00:40:40,030
plans and buildings as well, the motion is to approve the evaluation selection committee's

477
00:40:40,030 --> 00:40:46,110
recommendation to the board to the highest-ranked forum, RSC, brokerage, ink, and dorm business

478
00:40:46,110 --> 00:40:52,730
as strategies come in, common, or as the already approved, and further authorize the executive

479
00:40:52,730 --> 00:40:55,310
director to execute an agreement.

480
00:40:55,310 --> 00:41:03,490
So as reflected in the agenda item and its attachments, the selection committee has recommended

481
00:41:03,490 --> 00:41:11,310
a war to the ice red firm, and that last month's meeting was a mission voted to invite

482
00:41:11,310 --> 00:41:19,430
a war presentation from the two responsive and responsible proposals prior to taking action

483
00:41:19,430 --> 00:41:21,430
on the committee's recommendation.

484
00:41:21,430 --> 00:41:29,470
So, in preparation of these more presentations, the board was provided with a copy of the

485
00:41:29,470 --> 00:41:39,210
R&P and copies of the goals from each respondent, and so at this time we want to go to the

486
00:41:39,210 --> 00:41:40,970
and proceed with our presentation.

487
00:41:41,830 --> 00:41:46,290
Each firm will be allowed 10 minutes for their presentations

488
00:41:47,170 --> 00:41:50,230
and follow-up with questions that they may have.

489
00:41:51,590 --> 00:41:55,890
And doing the presentation one firm will be asking questions.

490
00:41:56,270 --> 00:42:00,790
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to ask our representatives

491
00:42:00,790 --> 00:42:05,290
from a RSC brokerage they're going to go first

492
00:42:06,110 --> 00:42:16,150
and they said in front of me together, if you don't mind, I've got them escorting them to one of these offices.

493
00:42:17,530 --> 00:42:22,710
And the presentation, you guys will be provided a hot, hard, complicated presentation.

494
00:42:23,010 --> 00:42:24,870
We're not going to get any final versions.

495
00:42:26,630 --> 00:42:28,190
So, Mr. Guy, we're ready.

496
00:42:28,710 --> 00:42:29,130
Yes, sir?

497
00:42:29,410 --> 00:42:29,690
What's this?

498
00:42:29,930 --> 00:42:30,830
I don't have a scoring sheet.

499
00:42:30,830 --> 00:42:36,570
We weren't given the format and all of the criteria, but I don't have a sheet.

500
00:42:37,170 --> 00:42:47,650
Well, all we have to do is we only have two, so, you know, I've said that there's criteria that we have to rate.

501
00:42:48,670 --> 00:42:58,470
There are points in the RFP, 25 points, 15 points, 10 points, 5, 5, and 5, we would need to be able to record that.

502
00:42:58,470 --> 00:43:05,470
Well I'm thinking we're making the decision who to pick. I don't see we have to go through

503
00:43:05,470 --> 00:43:12,290
the same procedure as the staff did. We can ask the attorney or whatever but I'm just

504
00:43:12,290 --> 00:43:18,950
saying after we get the two presentations and we'll just decide who our pick is.

505
00:43:34,370 --> 00:43:38,150
was these boards that would be presented to

506
00:43:40,330 --> 00:43:46,290
this customary, not the process of changing the evaluation process.

507
00:43:46,870 --> 00:43:57,690
If the committee, I'm sorry, if the board or to school individually and then collectively make a reservation for this board,

508
00:43:58,190 --> 00:44:00,730
it would change the evaluation process.

509
00:44:00,730 --> 00:44:16,950
So, so, customarily, you don't change your decision process, the process is going to be fine as that committee would make a recommendation to the board and the board has the final say, so it's going to be a board of each act.

510
00:44:17,390 --> 00:44:17,670
Okay.

511
00:44:17,670 --> 00:44:19,750
Is there a council agree on that?

512
00:44:20,510 --> 00:44:22,470
And I do just to put it very simply.

513
00:44:22,710 --> 00:44:24,250
So you have all the information

514
00:44:24,250 --> 00:44:26,470
that the selection committee was providing.

515
00:44:26,630 --> 00:44:26,650
Correct.

516
00:44:27,010 --> 00:44:29,950
You, as Mr. Ford correctly said,

517
00:44:30,350 --> 00:44:32,470
you're not sitting as a selection committee.

518
00:44:32,630 --> 00:44:33,430
They did their job.

519
00:44:33,430 --> 00:44:34,050
It's done.

520
00:44:34,350 --> 00:44:35,310
They did their ranking.

521
00:44:35,770 --> 00:44:38,150
Now, and you could take that into consideration

522
00:44:38,150 --> 00:44:39,350
about their ranking.

523
00:44:40,490 --> 00:44:42,270
You have the solicitation.

524
00:44:42,750 --> 00:44:44,970
You have the actual proposals themselves.

525
00:44:44,970 --> 00:44:50,290
and now the final piece will be the oral presentations taken together you are

526
00:44:50,290 --> 00:44:55,130
the ultimate decision maker you know selection committees do what they do

527
00:44:55,130 --> 00:44:59,730
which is make a recommendation it's not binding it's a recommendation okay

528
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:06,080
That's what we're doing today. Very good. All right. Thank you, Mr. Ford. So let's go over and start.

529
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:12,340
Thank you,

530
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:31,400
thank

531
00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:37,860
you very much. Thank you for having us here tonight.

532
00:45:37,860 --> 00:45:40,560
I would like to see you all, my name is Mark Rodriguez.

533
00:45:41,060 --> 00:45:43,520
I am a benefits consultant with risk strategies

534
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,860
to downroot by your current benefits consultant.

535
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:50,920
I can start off on page two of the features

536
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,040
that I'm not focusing on, okay, okay.

537
00:45:53,500 --> 00:45:54,660
I'll take two of the presentation.

538
00:45:56,380 --> 00:46:00,020
In January of 2022, the downroot was acquired

539
00:46:00,020 --> 00:46:01,720
by the strategies corporation.

540
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,640
As a result of that acquisition,

541
00:46:05,180 --> 00:46:06,680
we can part of them by the largest

542
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:13,540
independent, privately, home, brokerage in the country, but site becoming part of the

543
00:46:13,540 --> 00:46:18,880
much larger group, one of the things we are very proud of is our 98.90% on climate

544
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:25,080
retention. All of our team members are salary team members who do not work on

545
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:30,620
commission individually. The reason why that's important to you now is because you know

546
00:46:30,620 --> 00:46:36,660
that you're working in your best interests, whether you're able to go up or down, I

547
00:46:36,660 --> 00:46:41,500
working, enjoying interest, and not being interested, filling my office is not a major difference to me.

548
00:46:42,020 --> 00:46:45,620
I want you to be satisfied with the services that you're receiving.

549
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,220
We have a 10-year leadership and a team.

550
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,360
Myself, I've been in the business over 10 years.

551
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:54,800
I don't work in with the courts since 2021.

552
00:46:56,300 --> 00:47:01,380
Curricuring those who is our current leader over me was not able to be here.

553
00:47:01,380 --> 00:47:06,340
but when you may personally with the name as you work a long time with your brother,

554
00:47:06,540 --> 00:47:10,140
Liz Garen, I also would be very glad to be here with you and Sam,

555
00:47:10,140 --> 00:47:13,040
we're here to just want to weigh you, Sam, of work.

556
00:47:13,420 --> 00:47:15,700
She was a class writing and person.

557
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,620
He is a student for many years, a lot of sighting.

558
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:26,800
Like I said, we are a local entity working for a larger organization.

559
00:47:27,980 --> 00:47:30,120
Nationwide, we have over 5,000 employees,

560
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:37,700
but locally we have eight full-time staff located in the concrete starting office, which is literally a 15-minute drive from here.

561
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:44,420
So, if you need us, you know, we will be here, same or self-release about two minutes away from the area.

562
00:47:44,980 --> 00:47:48,720
So, if for some reason I'm not available, you may see Santa's face.

563
00:47:50,940 --> 00:47:53,640
And then you have other team members also available.

564
00:47:55,500 --> 00:48:01,380
So one of the reasons why strategies decided to require us is because of our specialty in the public sector.

565
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:08,340
It's the main point of business over at say 95% of our clientele is public sector business.

566
00:48:09,100 --> 00:48:17,900
We have over 30 years in that area with over 140 employees, sorry clients in public sector.

567
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:25,320
Because of that, because of the number of clients we have, we do get top tier recognition

568
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:30,200
with various carriers, which means that we also have a lot of leverage with them, and

569
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:36,760
also means that you are pretty to some customer service features that maybe other brokers

570
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,440
are not able to access.

571
00:48:39,980 --> 00:48:41,820
So now moving on to slide four.

572
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:47,580
Slide four is a lot of statement, a lot of companies have mission statement, a lot of

573
00:48:47,580 --> 00:48:50,100
it's a little bit different because it really does define what I'll

574
00:48:50,100 --> 00:48:55,700
promise is I'll promise being to inspire our communities to envision and embrace new

575
00:48:55,700 --> 00:48:56,360
possibilities.

576
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,360
So slide five, probably my favorite slide here because of the

577
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:06,320
chance to introduce you to the team that you will actually be working with and

578
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:10,840
have been working with for a few years now. Again, you have myself as senior

579
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:15,200
benefit consultant. Every one of our team members has a backup team member as well.

580
00:49:16,300 --> 00:49:21,060
your account manager is Taylor Shea, I'm Taylor Shea, I'm a senior, I'm Taylor Shea Smith now.

581
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,580
I want to leave Dan, I think he's Taylor Shea, she's your account manager.

582
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,720
So he handles all the old enrollments and implementation.

583
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:33,760
She was backed up by a former wish lady who was also going to go ahead and give her a leave and work in view.

584
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:37,440
Your employee benefits analyst is Dan Shea.

585
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:43,720
to extend the NIA's viewpoint in person for marketing your plans, and she's also the

586
00:49:43,720 --> 00:49:48,200
one who works with the carriers in receiving proposals from them and evaluating it between

587
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:53,500
them to present to your staff every year when the bill comes up, which is a process we're

588
00:49:53,500 --> 00:49:59,160
actually in the middle of right now. And then you have a finance services team, you have a

589
00:49:59,160 --> 00:49:59,960
or if it was under for next...

590
00:50:02,780 --> 00:50:12,380
So, the client services team are the team that takes in any calls that come through the membership when they have claims issues, provider issues, show calling and calling and

591
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:18,800
I also feel you are missing if I didn't introduce someone who really doesn't probably need an introduction.

592
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:24,280
We have Sophia Nelson here. Sophia is a subcontractor on this proposal.

593
00:50:24,940 --> 00:50:27,900
We work with her on employee engagement and communications.

594
00:50:30,220 --> 00:50:36,040
In addition to everybody's service team, we also have in-house graphics and communications.

595
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:45,180
We have wellness if I was using a house and various online tools which I have into a little bit in a couple of slides.

596
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:55,380
Slide 6. So on slide 6, this is where I like to highlight some of the accomplishments that I've had personally since I've been working with the port.

597
00:50:56,100 --> 00:51:01,560
First of all, we've negotiated over $500,000 in medical opinion savings since 2021.

598
00:51:02,340 --> 00:51:08,140
Our team has assisted poor employees with escalated clean issues in the break-ins of resolution.

599
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:13,100
We've been working with your staff to develop wellness activities and initiatives

600
00:51:13,820 --> 00:51:18,520
and we do help assist in the coordination of your annual benefits fair.

601
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:21,860
On slide 7, I'm going to continue this.

602
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:27,300
We've also developed an employee benefits guide to develop all of your membership.

603
00:51:27,300 --> 00:51:30,760
to provide one-on-one support to all of the employees

604
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:31,760
during the open enrollment.

605
00:51:33,500 --> 00:51:36,940
And as I mentioned, we've shared our key process

606
00:51:36,940 --> 00:51:39,460
or the marketing process of your lines of benefits,

607
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,000
which is spearheaded by myself in Vienna.

608
00:51:42,700 --> 00:51:46,040
We also provide guidance and education

609
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:47,740
regarding compliance issues.

610
00:51:48,140 --> 00:51:49,540
We do that on our releases.

611
00:51:49,820 --> 00:51:51,660
I come out at least once to hear the talk to your staff

612
00:51:51,660 --> 00:51:52,300
about it.

613
00:51:52,660 --> 00:51:54,760
And we have various online webinars

614
00:51:55,540 --> 00:52:02,740
other activities available. On the next slide, the slide entitled R.F.D. process.

615
00:52:03,340 --> 00:52:08,960
This is just kind of an overview of what we do for you. We got an entire class course of the year.

616
00:52:09,980 --> 00:52:13,720
So we're not just here, but it's time for renewal. We're constantly working on your behalf.

617
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:20,420
Starting with assessing where your plans currently are. Are there any gaps in your insurance?

618
00:52:23,500 --> 00:52:29,460
We also work with your finance department in funding out budgets for the year, when it comes to your benefits.

619
00:52:30,940 --> 00:52:37,220
Like I said, we do field-related goals that come from all the carriers and evaluate that and discuss it with your staff.

620
00:52:37,740 --> 00:52:48,020
If we're not happy with those rules and that's when we go to the RFP marketing process where we put your plans out to the entire market and see what we can do as far as getting new federal deals and what we have in place.

621
00:52:48,020 --> 00:52:54,320
and then we wrapped it up with five decisions working with your staff and of course bringing it forward to the Commission.

622
00:52:57,110 --> 00:53:06,470
On slide number nine, this is Cat Boo so all of our current clients have access to Cat Boo which is a great tool for benchmarking purposes.

623
00:53:07,130 --> 00:53:12,230
It allows you to take a look at your benefits and benchmark it against other public sector clients that we have.

624
00:53:12,230 --> 00:53:24,210
If you're a good feel for whether or not the benefits your offering are competitive in terms of price and in terms of what other public sector employees are seeing in the market.

625
00:53:26,610 --> 00:53:33,790
Slide 10, so this is more about the account management side of the house that I mentioned, that Taylor Shades team leads up.

626
00:53:34,350 --> 00:53:39,710
We have a policy of 24 hour response time to any inquiry that comes into our office.

627
00:53:39,710 --> 00:53:45,570
We provide change that, as I mentioned, an ongoing administration support to your staff.

628
00:53:46,190 --> 00:53:52,650
We provide support to your employees and your retirees as well.

629
00:53:53,430 --> 00:53:58,670
Any issues that come up with claims or appeals, we have a centralized database.

630
00:53:59,110 --> 00:54:03,610
So any calls that come in from your members are put into the centralized database.

631
00:54:03,610 --> 00:54:06,670
So, for example, if a court is not available for some reason,

632
00:54:07,330 --> 00:54:10,110
the next person in line can just keep up on where she left off

633
00:54:10,110 --> 00:54:12,550
because it's all on being reported in our system

634
00:54:12,550 --> 00:54:15,770
and you can provide it on your own assistance to that member.

635
00:54:16,690 --> 00:54:19,530
And then we do have in-house graphics for communications,

636
00:54:20,130 --> 00:54:25,030
any types of flyers or brochures, any kind of letters you want to,

637
00:54:25,190 --> 00:54:26,930
you know, distribute to your membership.

638
00:54:27,490 --> 00:54:28,830
You can do all that in a house, please.

639
00:54:30,430 --> 00:54:32,430
And those are all the services that you provide to your family.

640
00:54:32,430 --> 00:54:40,270
on slide 11. This focuses on compliance case that I mentioned. We have regular newsletters

641
00:54:40,270 --> 00:54:45,690
that go out that update you on legislative opportunities that have to do with non-chance

642
00:54:45,690 --> 00:54:51,790
plans. We have regular finance seminars and webinars. We can call an annual summit when

643
00:54:51,790 --> 00:54:58,810
we invite all of our clients to attend. It provides insurance education and we also do some

644
00:54:58,810 --> 00:54:59,890
I'm showcasing this, I mean.

645
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:30,240
We also do have a client portal that all of our clients have access to, that has great information as far as mental health aid and HR services. And then, as I mentioned, you come out on an annual basis to go through an compliance checklist to make sure that you are in compliance with all federal and state guidelines. So finally, closing just to kind of sum up everything I said. Some of the highlights I want to focus on are

646
00:55:30,240 --> 00:55:39,340
is our growing focus, you know, this thing which is thus in the market place, and one of the main reasons why we're required is because of that expertise.

647
00:55:40,900 --> 00:55:45,240
Innovative products and solutions that we're able to bring to you on an annual basis.

648
00:55:46,180 --> 00:55:54,460
Our proactive strategic planning, as I mentioned, you come out and talk to your staff on a regular basis to be planning for them for the next year, and what's the come.

649
00:55:55,160 --> 00:56:00,200
The dedicated year-round support, I'd like to focus on that by saying that we're not just

650
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:05,420
feeling the time for renewal, we're here for you to all year round, legislative compliance

651
00:56:05,420 --> 00:56:09,200
again, want to make sure that we're watching out for you, making sure that you're in compliance

652
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:15,080
for all regulations, our school of services is all inclusive, so the fees that are under

653
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:19,780
proposal includes hanging service staff, you provide, there's no charges or anything like

654
00:56:19,780 --> 00:56:20,100
that.

655
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:29,180
We have a measurable improvement in the results, I think, as evidenced by the retention of our clients and the number of clients that we have.

656
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:34,200
And, you know, as I mentioned, we've had to focus on long-term relationships and solutions.

657
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:37,040
We have a lot of history working on the board.

658
00:56:37,500 --> 00:56:41,200
Myself now, I'm a little bit newer than Sam, but that's why I work on the board.

659
00:56:41,380 --> 00:56:43,120
But I do have a bit of history in my self.

660
00:56:43,340 --> 00:56:45,180
And, of course, we have Cliff and Kurt Garret.

661
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:50,340
Thank you very much, anybody having any questions?

662
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:53,740
Okay, go ahead.

663
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:58,960
Yeah, I think we've been very pleased over the years with the service we got it from the

664
00:56:58,960 --> 00:56:59,420
Guarangroup.

665
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:00,940
So thank you for that.

666
00:57:01,500 --> 00:57:02,740
You mentioned gaps in coverage.

667
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:06,540
My extended family and friends and colleagues.

668
00:57:07,060 --> 00:57:10,160
They speak about FSAs using pre-tax dollars.

669
00:57:10,460 --> 00:57:12,880
Can you tell me why we don't have an FSA here?

670
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:15,400
So we have a flexible spending account.

671
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:17,520
Yeah, we have to look at that.

672
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:19,680
Is there any cost to support to do that?

673
00:57:19,740 --> 00:57:22,040
There's an administrative fee associated with it.

674
00:57:22,180 --> 00:57:24,320
Other than that, it's funded by a member.

675
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:30,840
So if a employee had an FSA of $2,000,

676
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,260
they would use their own pre-tax monies,

677
00:57:33,460 --> 00:57:37,800
and they could use that to pay deductibles, co-pays.

678
00:57:37,900 --> 00:57:37,960
Yes.

679
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:38,140
Yes.

680
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:38,720
Yeah.

681
00:57:39,340 --> 00:57:39,780
Can't go.

682
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:45,220
I would think the small majority of costs would be greatly, you know, benefit to employee

683
00:57:45,220 --> 00:57:46,840
be much greater than the small cost.

684
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:50,060
Have you suggested in the past, is there a reason we don't have that?

685
00:57:51,060 --> 00:57:52,040
It's been brought up.

686
00:57:52,420 --> 00:57:57,620
I don't know if it's come to commission, whether the decision has been made.

687
00:57:57,640 --> 00:57:59,940
In my mind, that's a tremendous gap going forward.

688
00:58:00,100 --> 00:58:01,020
We should look at that.

689
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:03,540
You said retirees.

690
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:04,600
How do you assist retire?

691
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:05,260
I'm sorry.

692
00:58:05,260 --> 00:58:13,780
I don't want to touch you off, but that came up here and we all looked at it and the cost

693
00:58:13,780 --> 00:58:19,020
of the cost and I remember Katherine Waldron and we all went through it because we want

694
00:58:19,020 --> 00:58:25,700
to have this card that we would have a couple hundred dollars that we can pay on our co-pays

695
00:58:25,700 --> 00:58:31,100
and all of this and I think maybe and it was supposed to be five hundred dollars or whatever

696
00:58:31,100 --> 00:58:34,240
But when the commission looked over it, you all voted it out.

697
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:36,000
Yes, yes.

698
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:37,480
Oh, we can look into it.

699
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:38,260
We made a decision.

700
00:58:38,260 --> 00:58:39,120
We made a decision.

701
00:58:39,500 --> 00:58:43,220
Right, but we made a decision about three years ago not to do it.

702
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:43,920
We need to look into it.

703
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:45,460
That was the camera and Walden was here.

704
00:58:45,660 --> 00:58:46,940
It was a couple of years ago.

705
00:58:47,260 --> 00:58:48,700
But it was brought to us.

706
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:49,560
Okay.

707
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:54,340
And we decided as a commission, I don't know why, but we didn't do it.

708
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:54,860
Okay?

709
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:58,060
Yeah, as I mentioned, we are in the process of our evening.

710
00:58:58,060 --> 00:59:00,440
is right now and that actually is part of the market.

711
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:01,220
Oh, I think so.

712
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:01,700
No, really.

713
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:02,840
A second.

714
00:59:03,340 --> 00:59:05,780
So retirees, how do you assist retirees?

715
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:07,520
What kind of benefits do retirees have?

716
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:10,140
You mentioned assist our retirees.

717
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,380
So retirees, they can be on the court plan.

718
00:59:13,900 --> 00:59:15,800
But for those who choose not to be,

719
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:19,440
we also do work with Medicare experts

720
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:21,940
who will come in and do one-on-one consulting

721
00:59:21,940 --> 00:59:23,200
with that individual.

722
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:25,980
I believe we actually did this for the former

723
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:38,520
I don't really be friends, when you say retirees can be on the plan, is that the way we

724
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:43,020
did George Master's wife Carol because she kept our health insurance.

725
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:48,560
She left the poor, no this is true, she left the poor but she still care our health insurance

726
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:54,700
and it was not like Cobra, it was a whole big policy thing so you can still do that, I know

727
00:59:54,700 --> 00:59:57,580
She has the part insurance today.

728
00:59:58,080 --> 00:59:59,220
This is a fact.

729
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:29,240
And she was able to pay a premium and keep it. And it's not Cobra? It's not Cobra. It's not Cobra. I'm telling you, I talk to her. It's not Cobra. And she care masses is caring. The poor that yours today. And she pays a little premium out of her money every month. Yeah. All right. For some people, that's not always the best tips. I don't want to do that here. You can guide them along towards. Thank you very much. All right. Thank you very much.

730
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:30,560
I got to come here.

731
01:00:32,740 --> 01:00:33,900
I remember

732
01:00:36,580 --> 01:00:38,500
Ed Opel only has a dinner.

733
01:00:40,100 --> 01:00:41,920
Ed Opel has dinner in here.

734
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:48,560
Ed Opel has an ice cream in here.

735
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:56,120
Wow.

736
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:00,360
I

737
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:16,280
don't want to mess with me, but care actually is care, and I'm sure it's there because it's all pretty.

738
01:01:16,940 --> 01:01:17,140
Okay.

739
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:19,760
To know, thank you.

740
01:01:24,270 --> 01:01:26,410
I'm sorry, mate, I was with the doctor.

741
01:01:26,890 --> 01:01:27,430
That's all right.

742
01:01:27,630 --> 01:01:28,490
You don't miss anything.

743
01:01:28,710 --> 01:01:29,430
I told you about it.

744
01:01:29,830 --> 01:01:30,030
Yeah.

745
01:01:30,270 --> 01:01:31,630
There wasn't anything.

746
01:01:34,650 --> 01:01:37,290
Michael Brown wants money for you.

747
01:01:37,290 --> 01:01:38,750
I'm glad I missed it.

748
01:01:39,450 --> 01:01:40,870
Lane's given 250.

749
01:01:41,310 --> 01:01:42,190
I said I give 250.

750
01:01:42,550 --> 01:01:43,430
Younger said 500.

751
01:01:43,910 --> 01:01:45,170
I ain't got no money anyways.

752
01:01:45,290 --> 01:01:45,510
All right.

753
01:01:45,550 --> 01:01:46,650
You have zero.

754
01:01:47,150 --> 01:01:48,070
I really have no money.

755
01:01:48,230 --> 01:01:49,190
So I'm going to go get a mister.

756
01:01:49,510 --> 01:01:50,390
No, you have two babies.

757
01:01:50,950 --> 01:01:51,650
No, I don't.

758
01:01:51,970 --> 01:01:52,750
I spent 200.

759
01:01:53,430 --> 01:01:53,630
Oh.

760
01:01:54,150 --> 01:01:55,210
I don't have any money.

761
01:01:55,390 --> 01:01:55,710
All right.

762
01:01:55,970 --> 01:01:56,710
So I missed it.

763
01:01:57,870 --> 01:01:59,490
You can get that out of me anyway,

764
01:01:59,630 --> 01:02:00,750
because I didn't have any of the data.

765
01:02:02,270 --> 01:02:04,070
You're all the big shops with all the money.

766
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,540
Wait till we'll be right back.

767
01:02:12,100 --> 01:02:12,340
Okay.

768
01:02:12,700 --> 01:02:13,180
In here.

769
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:13,840
On the manifold.

770
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:15,360
Y'all have no money anyway.

771
01:02:15,580 --> 01:02:15,720
Here.

772
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:19,680
Okay,

773
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:24,500
you have ten minutes and then we'll ask some questions.

774
01:02:25,620 --> 01:02:25,780
All right.

775
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:26,180
Thank you.

776
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:27,100
I'll be using the slide.

777
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:28,180
Mark.

778
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:32,020
Good afternoon, everyone.

779
01:02:32,180 --> 01:02:32,840
My name is Mike Dylan.

780
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:33,940
We'll be getting authentic to this group.

781
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:37,380
I want to say thank you for inviting an opportunity for us

782
01:02:37,380 --> 01:02:40,240
to see and further establish this particular process

783
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:42,480
and hear us out directly.

784
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:45,760
We've been a business since 2015.

785
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:48,740
So for about 10 years now, we've been all this here

786
01:02:48,740 --> 01:02:50,780
in West Palm Beach, and in Fort Laudale,

787
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:53,220
the majority of our local businesses

788
01:02:53,220 --> 01:02:54,860
with government agency clients.

789
01:02:55,460 --> 01:02:56,840
And that worked with some of the largest,

790
01:02:56,980 --> 01:02:58,860
the most respective global insurance

791
01:02:58,860 --> 01:03:06,220
in the country. Our current government clients include the City of Miramar with 12 million employees,

792
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:11,840
the City of Florida and Lace, with about 8 employees, similar to this organization, the City of

793
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:17,900
Loyal, with about 600 employees, with about 100 employees, with about 8 employees, and also

794
01:03:17,900 --> 01:03:28,840
the City of Wyoming Beach, with about 1,000 employees. Now the City of Wyoming Beach and the City of

795
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:32,540
you save them about $1.1 million after one year.

796
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,900
The City of Marijuana, we've done with them since 2018,

797
01:03:36,700 --> 01:03:37,880
saved them over $5 million.

798
01:03:38,860 --> 01:03:41,120
Transition them from pulling short, self-funded,

799
01:03:41,700 --> 01:03:44,600
implement them on site clinic, implement their wellness program,

800
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:48,420
and improve the health outcomes of their employees.

801
01:03:49,420 --> 01:03:52,580
And so one of the benefits of changing brokers

802
01:03:53,220 --> 01:03:56,200
is having new ideas, having fresh ideas,

803
01:03:56,700 --> 01:03:57,680
having a different perspective

804
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:00,540
have been here in the same voice for over 20 years.

805
01:04:02,540 --> 01:04:04,920
Additionally, we increased their voluntary benefits

806
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:08,280
of participation to complement their current benefits.

807
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:11,140
When you're self-insured, you get a pharmacy rebate.

808
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:13,560
They receive about $1,000 to $2,000 a year

809
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:16,740
and rebate the city-wide, and we need to see a total of $7,000

810
01:04:16,740 --> 01:04:18,140
in rebate last year.

811
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:20,940
So just by transitioning, we were able to save the money,

812
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:23,840
subding that the product broker in your booth

813
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:24,700
did not do for them.

814
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:26,760
So sometimes having changes good,

815
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:29,580
They also used to work with ventanet,

816
01:04:29,660 --> 01:04:31,540
which is the online movement system

817
01:04:31,540 --> 01:04:33,660
that the fire boat would use

818
01:04:33,660 --> 01:04:35,180
and transition away from that system

819
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:36,680
to use them more in hand system

820
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:37,820
and would be the same thing here.

821
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:41,400
Camera relationships, we work with all the major carriers

822
01:04:41,940 --> 01:04:43,240
and no flood of blue signal.

823
01:04:43,740 --> 01:04:45,640
We also work with other cameras

824
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:46,560
that are not as popular,

825
01:04:47,060 --> 01:04:48,440
but may be able to bring more value

826
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:50,820
to this agency and others.

827
01:04:51,740 --> 01:04:53,760
Our 14 consists of myself,

828
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:59,980
Um, over 20 years of insurance insurance, she was out of it, and it turned into a consultant, and uh...

829
01:05:04,020 --> 01:05:33,600
I were fully qualified not to plan out any insurance license, but also I did an additional education. So I have the certified employee benefits, especially the designation through the International Commission of Employment of the Plans, and the one school of University of Pennsylvania, also the group benefits associate destination, also the emergency help on the right of this nation to be working in college. She was guided by a huge and continuing education through the heart of the school of insurance, and now she's a floor-to- floor license attorney.

830
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:36,340
But we don't, we don't work for ourselves.

831
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:38,400
We also have strategic markets that we work with.

832
01:05:38,780 --> 01:05:42,820
So for our larger clients that need actual services, we work with an

833
01:05:43,260 --> 01:05:45,440
actuarial agent, we ask you in which year was consulting.

834
01:05:46,060 --> 01:05:48,840
They're the current actuarial for other services from Myanmar.

835
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:52,320
So we parted with them for the self-insured service.

836
01:05:53,020 --> 01:05:54,820
Dr. Cheney Troubles, a pharmacist,

837
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:57,520
told me sure that we analyze the drugs and make sure that

838
01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:00,700
white drugs are offered to employees where the cities can get

839
01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:03,460
We also work with that on quality,

840
01:06:03,660 --> 01:06:05,120
Harvard and Clark Law Training.

841
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:07,880
It was the one of the management partners

842
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:09,480
of the A&M and all the similar college.

843
01:06:11,260 --> 01:06:12,700
So what is our project approach?

844
01:06:13,300 --> 01:06:15,400
It's an onboarding and a review process.

845
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:17,560
So we review the plans you have in place now.

846
01:06:17,780 --> 01:06:18,560
We analyze them.

847
01:06:18,900 --> 01:06:21,500
We tell you the pros and cons and give our recommendations.

848
01:06:22,260 --> 01:06:24,000
Work with your share for a strategic planning.

849
01:06:24,860 --> 01:06:26,420
And then you're coming up when you're going to

850
01:06:26,420 --> 01:06:27,740
win the marketing process now.

851
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:29,180
So you have a 10 one effective date.

852
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:40,460
We would do some renewal analysis, marketing, decide if you want to shop the insurance or negotiate better terms and conditions with the current carrier.

853
01:06:41,100 --> 01:06:48,360
That would self-goverment process, and then, of course, of the year, we manage the plan and give you an idea of what your renewal would look like in future years.

854
01:06:49,380 --> 01:06:52,880
A renewal negotiation process is, again, analyzing the data.

855
01:06:53,180 --> 01:06:55,320
The smaller you are, the more limited data you receive.

856
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:58,660
But at least the carrier will show you how they arrive at your rate.

857
01:06:59,100 --> 01:07:02,020
You work with the actuaries in terms of whether or not they use the care factors.

858
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:06,780
And in terms of whether or not we should go into renewal and negotiate down or shopping insurance.

859
01:07:07,500 --> 01:07:12,680
So, become aware of the strategy based on the numbers, negotiate with the carriers, and then we make a recommendation.

860
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:14,760
So, we'll let you know ahead of time.

861
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:18,520
And if you want to save money by making changes to your plans,

862
01:07:18,860 --> 01:07:20,640
the same acts that have to your employees.

863
01:07:21,140 --> 01:07:22,460
And your employees may not be happy.

864
01:07:22,700 --> 01:07:24,740
Or you may want to pay more to make sure

865
01:07:24,740 --> 01:07:28,360
you go to your employees back, you know, high quality benefits.

866
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:31,140
The over and over process, you know,

867
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:33,320
we have to do a free enrollment preparation.

868
01:07:33,980 --> 01:07:35,260
We educate the employees.

869
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:37,340
So for our larger clients, for example,

870
01:07:37,340 --> 01:07:38,980
police and water, a 24-hour shift.

871
01:07:39,620 --> 01:07:42,140
So we're on site at 7 a.m., for 7 a.m.

872
01:07:42,140 --> 01:07:46,300
will call 3 o'clock p.m., 3 o'clock will call 11 o'clock p.m.

873
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:47,140
11 o'clock will call.

874
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:49,140
So we're there as long as you need us.

875
01:07:50,860 --> 01:07:55,320
On my moment platforms, there are other platforms that are better

876
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:58,660
than Mentec, and we can offer to you at no cost.

877
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:01,580
So you don't pay any great cost for online resources.

878
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:05,300
For all of your clients, you also offer all setting support.

879
01:08:05,780 --> 01:08:07,300
However, that will be needed here.

880
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:11,080
Our response standards are pretty high.

881
01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:23,800
So we each I respond ASA chief our clients have our cell phone numbers or emails with knowledge receipt of the communication and we work on a right-of-way and trying to get back to our clients right away.

882
01:08:24,900 --> 01:08:37,720
Wellness, a lot of insurance categories have wellness programs. The cost of insurance is high because the cost of insurance is high. So the best way to reduce the cost of insurance is to do what we can to educate employees about learning about their personal health.

883
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:44,900
learning how to be on nutritional animals, and then just getting an activity so they can reduce their health risk factors.

884
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:52,160
Monthly reporting packages, so this is typically for larger groups, because the HIPAA laws,

885
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:59,900
insurance companies will not release certain information about your group, because then you can tie it down to the table person.

886
01:09:00,540 --> 01:09:04,020
We do report monthly on our service months, for example.

887
01:09:04,020 --> 01:09:09,360
We tell employees to contact us personally, share your information, go to secure an email

888
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:14,380
portal, where they can email us, secure an email, resolve those matters, and then we update

889
01:09:14,380 --> 01:09:17,600
our clients about what we resolve throughout the research throughout the months of the year.

890
01:09:20,450 --> 01:09:24,970
And we will continue to report in the same day, we provide reports on various activities

891
01:09:24,970 --> 01:09:27,190
that we can do throughout the course of the year.

892
01:09:28,870 --> 01:09:33,570
Again, client promises, we work with the city of Merrimont, City of William Beach, Robert

893
01:09:33,570 --> 01:09:37,570
County's surprise elections and whenever we take over we try to enhance the

894
01:09:37,570 --> 01:09:41,790
benefits reduced the cost, provide higher benefit in terms of technology services

895
01:09:41,790 --> 01:09:48,070
and as well as the scholars. You do have a MWVP program. We qualified you

896
01:09:48,070 --> 01:09:51,610
certified by the South Florida Water Management District State of Florida. We

897
01:09:51,610 --> 01:09:56,050
also partnered with the Mosaic Group and Marie Surrell and the car broke

898
01:09:56,050 --> 01:09:59,650
with giving 3% of the body to contract within 13%.

899
01:10:17,540 --> 01:10:27,460
So, the last 23 years, there was zero opportunity, there was no argument issue. So, there was no opportunity to just stay in this program. And that's one reason why I'm living in a field of information.

900
01:10:27,460 --> 01:10:32,480
This has been going on every five years from last 20 years, we did, we lost, that's fine.

901
01:10:33,020 --> 01:10:38,620
But most agencies have a five-year hot program, so for example, we have to hit on the R.P.

902
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:42,440
of the city of Miramar. They like us, we did a great job, but we still have a compete

903
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:47,820
with the market, and then with that, we've come down to the standard with a lot of the city

904
01:10:47,820 --> 01:10:51,880
load at least. And R.P. went out, we have a compete, and then with that option.

905
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:54,500
So the last three years, there was no competition.

906
01:10:54,500 --> 01:11:00,460
And so to the score, it's reflected to the quality of the vendor or that home court or home

907
01:11:00,460 --> 01:11:03,700
comfort advantage for being with the same vendor for the 23 years.

908
01:11:05,820 --> 01:11:09,700
Our proposed cost structure is similar to the current vendor.

909
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:12,640
It might increase just the covering inflation.

910
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:16,720
So why choose the government of the school?

911
01:11:17,340 --> 01:11:20,440
We'll qualify for a capable experience and we bring value.

912
01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:23,400
We provide a personalized service as a small firm.

913
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:25,680
You have a small business enterprise program,

914
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:27,240
so given our team a small business,

915
01:11:27,740 --> 01:11:29,140
and we have a document of results

916
01:11:29,140 --> 01:11:31,460
so we provide the references and contacts.

917
01:11:31,980 --> 01:11:33,540
So everything I'm saying could be verified

918
01:11:33,540 --> 01:11:35,000
if those references were contacted.

919
01:11:37,210 --> 01:11:39,390
A question that came up at the last meeting was,

920
01:11:39,950 --> 01:11:41,870
is it late, you know, people are gonna be able to

921
01:11:41,870 --> 01:11:43,890
like to roll, yes, there's plenty of time,

922
01:11:44,690 --> 01:11:46,770
you won't forget to ring the wall until the city is out.

923
01:11:47,050 --> 01:11:48,730
So the change of a broker,

924
01:11:49,390 --> 01:11:51,890
nobody can't reach across that within five of the days,

925
01:11:51,890 --> 01:11:56,110
and most times, within $24 to $14,000.

926
01:11:56,110 --> 01:11:58,090
And with that, that includes my presentation.

927
01:11:58,550 --> 01:11:59,630
So thank you again for your opportunity.

928
01:12:00,330 --> 01:12:01,570
And I would love to add the opportunity

929
01:12:01,570 --> 01:12:02,730
for the Board of the College.

930
01:12:03,630 --> 01:12:04,070
Questions?

931
01:12:04,330 --> 01:12:05,090
Anybody have any questions?

932
01:12:05,930 --> 01:12:06,510
I have a question.

933
01:12:06,610 --> 01:12:06,850
OK.

934
01:12:08,050 --> 01:12:11,670
How many of your employees reside here in Palm Beach County?

935
01:12:12,070 --> 01:12:13,850
I would love any of that reside in Palm Beach County.

936
01:12:14,070 --> 01:12:14,270
I would love any of that reside in Palm Beach County.

937
01:12:14,450 --> 01:12:14,750
OK.

938
01:12:16,270 --> 01:12:20,090
If you start retaining more Palm Beach County businesses,

939
01:12:20,090 --> 01:12:24,150
would you hire employees? Most certainly, so a city white beach is our first

940
01:12:24,150 --> 01:12:28,390
opportunity and then we're going to find out in the next few weeks, so we want to

941
01:12:28,390 --> 01:12:33,170
stay rear-viewed each, which is another opportunity and so with that and before we

942
01:12:33,170 --> 01:12:37,390
would certainly hire someone in this area because it's, you know, it doesn't take

943
01:12:37,390 --> 01:12:38,690
some time to make that long drive.

944
01:12:41,530 --> 01:12:44,830
Yeah, other questions? What? Thank you for being

945
01:12:44,830 --> 01:12:52,150
here have a couple of questions. You started up by saying you have represented a couple

946
01:12:52,150 --> 01:12:59,130
of entities that the Garing Group represented prior to your winning it. You mentioned point

947
01:12:59,130 --> 01:13:06,750
in B to what were the other. Now, once that first, your first, your first, your first contract

948
01:13:06,750 --> 01:13:12,190
ended, what happened after that? Did they go back to the Garing Group or did they?

949
01:13:20,310 --> 01:13:25,530
So Gary Group had it, you then wanted, and then it went back out again after the first

950
01:13:25,530 --> 01:13:28,130
period ended, and you wanted it again, it went back with you.

951
01:13:28,250 --> 01:13:31,130
All right, that says one.

952
01:13:33,530 --> 01:13:40,070
You're a small affirm, obviously we are accustomed to working with the big boys, so let me ask you

953
01:13:40,070 --> 01:13:47,610
this quite frankly if we were to go with your firm a smaller firm we heard the

954
01:13:47,610 --> 01:13:54,390
pros what are the cons that have to be some cons yeah no I don't think there are

955
01:13:54,390 --> 01:13:59,810
many cons because smaller firms has to take on more clients than you grow and so

956
01:13:59,810 --> 01:14:03,050
we would grow so some of the reasons we get is only just falling a little

957
01:14:03,050 --> 01:14:08,670
of people, but our employee size is proportional to our business.

958
01:14:09,350 --> 01:14:11,370
So when I worked at the larger private firms,

959
01:14:12,030 --> 01:14:15,670
Mercer and I have been salting, see this better than the insurance services,

960
01:14:16,370 --> 01:14:17,910
you know, I handle 20 clients myself.

961
01:14:19,110 --> 01:14:21,910
So right now we have about 13 clients in the firm,

962
01:14:22,270 --> 01:14:24,170
because we have some large clients in these cities,

963
01:14:24,690 --> 01:14:27,510
you know, we're able to work with only a few employees.

964
01:14:27,810 --> 01:14:30,730
But if we take on their needs, which we'll learn about in the next month or so,

965
01:14:30,730 --> 01:14:32,790
and the poor, we've got to get out of the higher,

966
01:14:33,150 --> 01:14:34,490
and we just took on the city of Laudano,

967
01:14:34,970 --> 01:14:36,690
we're gonna be adding more staff.

968
01:14:38,210 --> 01:14:40,410
So, I mean, the only hot night in Dingo

969
01:14:40,410 --> 01:14:42,070
is we have to do tighter scheduling,

970
01:14:42,650 --> 01:14:43,970
to make sure that we can get within these

971
01:14:43,970 --> 01:14:44,930
of our clients.

972
01:14:45,510 --> 01:14:45,650
It

973
01:14:48,660 --> 01:14:50,060
does even with our clients so long

974
01:14:50,060 --> 01:14:51,420
and what you need about three years now,

975
01:14:51,900 --> 01:14:53,340
here in Laudano for about seven years now,

976
01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:55,720
we're on a constant flow.

977
01:14:56,400 --> 01:14:57,900
And so, and they're flexible with me,

978
01:14:57,960 --> 01:14:59,920
but I'm gonna say, well, I can't make this weekend to be.

979
01:15:04,540 --> 01:15:15,760
But you have been able to keep the book of business even after they put it back up, correct, correct. Thank you. I'm nothing for you. Okay. All right. Thank you very much.

980
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:31,020
I missed a question for the first entity. Is there any opportunity to ask the question? The first group. No, let me ask the guest. The first group did not mention

981
01:15:31,020 --> 01:15:37,360
They did not mention their MWB. I saw their ratings. How are they in MWB? Enterprise if you know.

982
01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:40,820
The massive group. They are not.

983
01:15:41,460 --> 01:15:49,260
They are a subcontractor that he referenced. He is certified in MWB here in the county.

984
01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:58,200
And the RSP is a reflection of the force in MWB policy.

985
01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:08,480
So, the policy is, that's what we're interested in, is voluntary, but there are no, there

986
01:16:08,480 --> 01:16:12,720
are no required, and I'm interested in how it's made in the industry, right?

987
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:12,860
Okay.

988
01:16:14,300 --> 01:16:20,920
Basically, by my current knowledge, I've been in the field, even in R&D's 8th and 5th point,

989
01:16:31,220 --> 01:16:35,400
So how do we want to do this, do we want to access it?

990
01:16:35,500 --> 01:16:35,940
At

991
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:43,920
this point, we have the suggested action that was from philosophy.

992
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,400
So we either move forward with staff's recommendation.

993
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:52,260
You make the motion to do that, or you go ahead and do that.

994
01:17:02,180 --> 01:17:02,660
I

995
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:11,500
don't know if this is out of order now, and Mrs. Chairman, may I make a motion?

996
01:17:11,500 --> 01:17:11,680
Yes.

997
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:18,600
That the poor commissioners, we just vote on the company, we would like to have a represent

998
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:19,740
the point upon beach.

999
01:17:19,740 --> 01:17:23,480
So I think, can we do that in a journey?

1000
01:17:25,340 --> 01:17:37,200
Do we have to deny what the recommendation of the staff first and then we go vote?

1001
01:17:37,480 --> 01:17:37,680
Or what?

1002
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:42,640
We can just vote on, because we make decisions anyway, so can we just vote?

1003
01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:47,640
So if your motion is to go with another candidate, you would include in there to

1004
01:17:49,860 --> 01:17:56,240
inject the mission committee recommendation and instead go with.

1005
01:17:56,540 --> 01:17:59,780
Mr. Chair, why is it required?

1006
01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:06,000
Because that's what's on the agenda. That doesn't matter. It's on the agenda. Staff are prepared for the agenda.

1007
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:14,240
A late person typed up an agenda. So my question is why would the board be required to say we did not want to do

1008
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:18,280
A, maybe what you do, B. Why can't the board simply say we wish to do A?

1009
01:18:18,860 --> 01:18:25,200
So there's no law, but Robert's role is you look at the way the agenda's been formatted.

1010
01:18:25,900 --> 01:18:34,780
It says, at motion to approve the highest rent firm, so the recommended action, that recommends

1011
01:18:34,780 --> 01:18:35,160
that.

1012
01:18:35,660 --> 01:18:35,800
Correct.

1013
01:18:36,140 --> 01:18:36,320
Okay.

1014
01:18:36,700 --> 01:18:43,320
That was very original last month, I won't be up, I won't be up council too much to disagree

1015
01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:54,720
May I ask something, so can we just deny it with the staff recommended and then take both of the companies and then pick who we want?

1016
01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:55,740
Is that possible?

1017
01:18:56,700 --> 01:18:59,760
Yes, or would I say just do it in the same motion?

1018
01:19:00,500 --> 01:19:08,980
Okay, well, I would like to make a motion that we deny the recommendations from the staff of the Port of Palm Beach, then we take both companies.

1019
01:19:11,500 --> 01:19:19,540
company. What is it? Garen Group, RIS and then Mr. Gallon company and then we

1020
01:19:19,540 --> 01:19:24,300
select the company to represent the pouring. That's my motion. Can we do it that

1021
01:19:24,300 --> 01:19:24,500
way?

1022
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:31,420
Because you said we had to deny what the staff said. So get rid of it and now

1023
01:19:31,420 --> 01:19:37,720
we are starting all over and I will make the motion that we the commission select

1024
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:47,560
either with strategies garing group or what is this might tell him C E B S group

1025
01:19:48,820 --> 01:19:54,820
second emotion all right give a second any discussion all in favor

1026
01:19:56,480 --> 01:19:59,340
I have nothing to hide, so now do you want to make a motion?

1027
01:20:01,540 --> 01:20:25,800
Now, where do we go? I make a motion that each commissioner will vote on. Well, Abby, all in favor of motion here. This is the motion. I think calling for like a tally like, you know, you could move. And if there's.

1028
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:33,300
May the jeans cut before did you want to make a motion for pick one to start the ball rolling do you have

1029
01:20:33,300 --> 01:20:41,920
So I need to pick one. Okay, I make a motion that we submit garing group. All right. A second. We have motion from the second.

1030
01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:49,500
Any discussion? All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. All opposed.

1031
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:54,360
carries 5-0 for the garing group,

1032
01:20:59,700 --> 01:21:00,440
R-S-C.

1033
01:21:00,820 --> 01:21:01,380
Yeah.

1034
01:21:03,140 --> 01:21:05,480
Which group did you mostly garing?

1035
01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:08,800
I said, I said, uh, I'm going to say,

1036
01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:10,880
with strategy garing group,

1037
01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:12,280
that was my motion.

1038
01:21:12,460 --> 01:21:13,080
Please select.

1039
01:21:13,740 --> 01:21:17,720
With strategies garing group.

1040
01:21:18,380 --> 01:21:19,080
And I said, yes.

1041
01:21:19,260 --> 01:21:20,520
We need to re-vote.

1042
01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:21,760
I thought she said the other one.

1043
01:21:21,760 --> 01:21:23,280
Yeah, by the way, just to be clear.

1044
01:21:23,500 --> 01:21:24,820
So there's no confusing.

1045
01:21:25,140 --> 01:21:27,880
So there's Gellin benefits group.

1046
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:30,940
That was the second presentation.

1047
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:35,460
The first presentation was Gare Ring group

1048
01:21:35,460 --> 01:21:38,880
or S.C. insurance.

1049
01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:41,920
OK, let me clarify my motion.

1050
01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:43,720
My motion is that we select.

1051
01:21:44,180 --> 01:21:47,400
My motion is to select risk strategies.

1052
01:21:47,680 --> 01:21:48,420
Gare in group.

1053
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:50,200
That's my motion.

1054
01:21:50,300 --> 01:21:50,600
OK.

1055
01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:57,200
Okay, wait a second. Okay, I have no discussion. Okay. All in favor for RSC

1056

okay

1060
01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:31,580

Okay, we have motion Deandre pool makes the motion second

01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:52,600
You have to have your second, second.

1063

Second.

1064
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:54,520
Second.

1065
01:22:55,060 --> 01:22:57,020

Next item.

01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:07,000
Your second agenda item is out of the J-2 of this gesture

1069
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:09,840
motion is to include the Board's long-to-beats district

1070
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:13,140
in or of a comprehensive financial reform.

1071
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:16,960
With independent auditors reporting there in Ang and half

1072
01:23:19,260 --> 01:23:21,720
to the state of Florida.

1073
01:23:22,180 --> 01:23:23,760
Florida Auditor General,

1074
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:25,340
Florida Department of Transportation,

1075
01:23:25,620 --> 01:23:27,340
and others required to board

1076
01:23:27,340 --> 01:23:28,620
the independent auditor and

1077
01:23:28,620 --> 01:23:29,100
time-design.

1078
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:32,240
Delta Davis, CPA partner with

1079
01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:33,780
S Davis and Associates.

1080
01:23:33,980 --> 01:23:35,680
PA will provide a brief overview

1081
01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:37,660
of the ACF for

1082
01:23:39,480 --> 01:23:40,120
FY0934.

1083
01:23:40,900 --> 01:23:41,800
I can read for you.

1084
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:43,240
I think

1085
01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:44,360
welcome.

1086
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:54,140
Thank you, thank you. It's going to be here again to present a lot of results and we thank you for this opportunity.

1087
01:23:54,720 --> 01:24:00,060
I think we have a presentation that's calling on the screen, which will be from my board you can notice.

1088
01:24:01,780 --> 01:24:09,420
I'm going to start by thanking the finance, the team finance and management team for bringing us to this point.

1089
01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:13,380
It's always a very role to go through on audit.

1090
01:24:13,380 --> 01:24:18,860
But I know that you guys are still doing their day-to-day activities, and this is just an ad.

1091
01:24:19,660 --> 01:24:26,100
This is just ad work for them, and we are not in a day-to-day without that, but fun for them.

1092
01:24:27,900 --> 01:24:38,020
We presented the art at scope, art at results, and along with financial and executive director, financial highlights,

1093
01:24:38,020 --> 01:24:41,100
That's based on what relation you see in the annual coming years,

1094
01:24:41,140 --> 01:24:43,600
if I can't report it to you afterwards, you can come.

1095
01:24:43,980 --> 01:24:45,180
I'm referring to it.

1096
01:24:45,580 --> 01:24:49,320
So my visitation is primarily going to be on our hardest reports

1097
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:53,040
and non-exclusions, not so much the numbers.

1098
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:57,040
We also present it to the implementation

1099
01:24:57,040 --> 01:24:59,260
that was required to communicate to the government.

1100
01:25:01,230 --> 01:25:16,270
There's a really robust conversation. Various suit numbers of the audit committee ask where the questions and their comments can at the end of the meeting be recommended in no changes to your pattern.

1101
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:29,460
We reported on your audit. I'd like to say a little bit about something that I've been trying to do before in that position, which is to balance sheet revenues, expenses, and changes in the committee.

1102
01:25:29,460 --> 01:25:36,000
and then change the acquisition of K&R in months to the financial statements.

1103
01:25:37,740 --> 01:25:44,120
As a result, we issued an unmodified opinion on the financial statements, which is the best

1104
01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:46,020
type of opinion we've ever taken yet.

1105
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:51,340
We also work out into our own control.

1106
01:25:52,300 --> 01:25:58,300
We don't issue an opinion or say on our own control to look at controls in time and make

1107
01:25:58,300 --> 01:26:00,320
the time of the set, are all in testing.

1108
01:26:00,860 --> 01:26:03,160
You do washers, and we're sure that you're controlled to

1109
01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:04,140
consent to us.

1110
01:26:04,480 --> 01:26:06,680
I'm actually unfulmented in the inquiry.

1111
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:10,980
You apply to the issue of art, which we report to time

1112
01:26:10,980 --> 01:26:14,100
and for us, we do have an audit of standards on that work.

1113
01:26:15,480 --> 01:26:18,460
We find no efficiencies in the control of financial

1114
01:26:18,460 --> 01:26:21,580
reporting and no instances of none from the finance.

1115
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:24,540
And they're required to be employed under government

1116
01:26:24,540 --> 01:26:25,740
on the list of standards.

1117
01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:30,340
because you do have to have a single audit and a state single audit,

1118
01:26:30,700 --> 01:26:35,060
because you have an excess of 750,000 hours of expenditures from both,

1119
01:26:35,300 --> 01:26:39,160
and both those categories, and more referral grants and expenditures,

1120
01:26:39,440 --> 01:26:40,660
and the state grant expenditures.

1121
01:26:41,060 --> 01:26:43,840
We did, we had to do a single audit,

1122
01:26:44,500 --> 01:26:47,160
and the results of that are a ton of compliance,

1123
01:26:47,480 --> 01:26:50,540
especially to the major programs and state projects,

1124
01:26:51,220 --> 01:26:54,900
resulting in unminified opinion, again, on compliance.

1125
01:26:56,100 --> 01:26:59,900
We know the conditions, we know the internal control requirements.

1126
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:07,540
In accordance with the order of the general, the issue is that the provisions of the

1127
01:27:07,540 --> 01:27:11,680
internal issue in the United States, or the United States, are lettering to the

1128
01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:13,200
United States, or lettering to the United States, or lettering to the United States,

1129
01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:17,920
which is a good law and a good type of internal control system in the following.

1130
01:27:18,520 --> 01:27:22,620
But it has mentioned that the testing is expected in the internal control system.

1131
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:29,740
We're also required to report on compliance with your investment by the positive photo

1132
01:27:29,740 --> 01:27:32,860
funds and what I'm trying to do is make this work.

1133
01:27:34,360 --> 01:27:41,060
The IRS reports were issued on June 4th, but on the approval of the idea of financials

1134
01:27:41,060 --> 01:27:47,420
by the audit committee, and as such, the court will need the state to require adverts

1135
01:27:47,420 --> 01:27:56,480
admission date, but June 30th on this year, there are two other required correspondence reports

1136
01:27:56,480 --> 01:28:02,040
for letters, both of which you can see in your agenda packet, and that was the letter

1137
01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:09,220
to governance. It's also the letter that I refer to that you're an open detail with the

1138
01:28:09,220 --> 01:28:15,760
audit committee and your management representation letter. We'll give them a few access to anything

1139
01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:19,940
in what you can get in here in terms of transactions,

1140
01:28:20,540 --> 01:28:25,360
pay-intrate on land personnel in audits resulting

1141
01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:27,860
in no knowledge required, suspected

1142
01:28:27,860 --> 01:28:29,620
far-forward ways.

1143
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:35,220
That concludes my report on presentation holding.

1144
01:28:35,660 --> 01:28:38,680
It wasn't too good for you, but if you had any questions,

1145
01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:40,320
I would be happy to answer.

1146
01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:41,500
Any questions?

1147
01:28:42,140 --> 01:28:43,100
That's good news.

1148
01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:44,380
Thank you for that, yeah?

1149
01:28:44,380 --> 01:28:46,400
Thank you very much.

1150
01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:47,440
Appreciate it.

1151
01:28:47,440 --> 01:28:47,800
Thank you.

1152
01:28:50,640 --> 01:28:54,050
So we give you a motion to

1153
01:28:54,050 --> 01:28:55,510
ban for some motion.

1154
01:28:55,690 --> 01:28:56,250
Motion.

1155
01:28:56,670 --> 01:28:57,830
Richard second.

1156
01:28:58,410 --> 01:28:59,970
Is your pool all in favor?

1157
01:29:00,290 --> 01:29:00,430
Yes.

1158
01:29:00,810 --> 01:29:02,190
Those carries five zero.

1159
01:29:03,130 --> 01:29:03,690
Okay.

1160
01:29:04,210 --> 01:29:04,710
Next item.

1161
01:29:04,910 --> 01:29:06,010
Next item is J3.

1162
01:29:06,170 --> 01:29:07,230
Motion away from current

1163
01:29:07,630 --> 01:29:09,950
competition and in accordance with session 4 by 4,

1164
01:29:10,090 --> 01:29:12,950
the courts purchase a policies of the teachers manual

1165
01:29:12,950 --> 01:29:15,770
and authorize the executive director to ask you to

1166
01:29:15,770 --> 01:29:20,630
I agree with it's been associated as ink from governmental consultee of ours.

1167
01:29:20,810 --> 01:29:21,030
All right.

1168
01:29:21,210 --> 01:29:21,790
We have a motion.

1169
01:29:22,150 --> 01:29:22,430
Second.

1170
01:29:23,470 --> 01:29:24,890
I think you should read it.

1171
01:29:25,010 --> 01:29:25,430
Second.

1172
01:29:25,650 --> 01:29:26,090
Good question.

1173
01:29:26,990 --> 01:29:27,150
Cool.

1174
01:29:29,210 --> 01:29:29,770
Question.

1175
01:29:30,050 --> 01:29:30,330
Please.

1176
01:29:30,690 --> 01:29:30,790
Good.

1177
01:29:31,350 --> 01:29:32,230
Mr. Penske.

1178
01:29:33,750 --> 01:29:37,790
So we're going from a full service firm to you.

1179
01:29:39,250 --> 01:29:41,030
What are we missing out?

1180
01:29:41,290 --> 01:29:41,770
And what are we gaining?

1181
01:29:42,530 --> 01:29:42,810
Please.

1182
01:29:43,750 --> 01:29:56,090
Thank you for the question so make them in great offer their government relations practice has diminished over time.

1183
01:29:56,910 --> 01:29:59,830
I was the last government relations professor.

1184
01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:29,560
So, the where they went from when I first started there 15 years ago, I don't know why they discontinued the investment, but many of the tools that were available have diminished. And, and then also felt as though,

1185
01:30:29,560 --> 01:30:35,460
where I started with the court and actually I was in practice for myself for starting with the court.

1186
01:30:36,680 --> 01:30:43,840
And thought that the larger platform would be beneficial actually didn't turn out that way.

1187
01:30:44,340 --> 01:30:49,820
In some cases it took away from the ability to spend more time with the clients in this case of court on peach.

1188
01:30:52,380 --> 01:30:57,000
So the United States is a women-owned firm and vice president.

1189
01:30:57,000 --> 01:31:26,580
I've seen the gender change, and so we're not in the British room, we are a small business enterprise, we're now women-owned and I'm proud of that and I'm very happy about that, but I can now, you've always had a personal service, so that part is not going to change, but now the other distractions I would say that go on are by the way side, so totally 100% fully strong, I'm not going to be able to do that, but I can now, you've always had personal service, so that part is not going to change, but now the other distractions I would say that go on are by the way side, and so totally 100% fully strong,

1190
01:31:26,580 --> 01:31:28,980
on the clients and the crowd at the Port of London.

1191
01:31:29,340 --> 01:31:30,000
Thank you.

1192
01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:31,140
Any other questions?

1193
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:32,020
I do.

1194
01:31:32,460 --> 01:31:32,660
Go ahead.

1195
01:31:32,900 --> 01:31:35,400
Mr. Penske, how many years have you been doing this,

1196
01:31:36,040 --> 01:31:37,540
this type of work?

1197
01:31:37,820 --> 01:31:38,280
What is this?

1198
01:31:38,460 --> 01:31:41,420
Yeah, and those are Mr. Richards and I now have a gray hair.

1199
01:31:43,040 --> 01:31:46,280
This will be my, this will be my,

1200
01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:48,400
25.

1201
01:31:48,840 --> 01:31:49,720
This will be my,

1202
01:31:50,380 --> 01:31:50,700
40,

1203
01:31:51,640 --> 01:31:52,460
40 years?

1204
01:31:52,860 --> 01:31:53,100
Wow.

1205
01:31:53,100 --> 01:32:09,560
We love to wax, how great Tallahassee has become, but it is just the opposite and that's another answer which gets me to focus on how each county in just Tallahassee's own.

1206
01:32:10,440 --> 01:32:12,180
But yeah, this is my 40 new words.

1207
01:32:12,700 --> 01:32:16,200
Any other questions? Okay, all in favor say aye.

1208
01:32:16,620 --> 01:32:16,960
Aye.

1209
01:32:17,520 --> 01:32:17,940
Opposed?

1210
01:32:18,400 --> 01:32:19,940
Curious 5-0. Thank you.

1211
01:32:21,660 --> 01:32:23,160
And you're wearing socks.

1212
01:32:25,780 --> 01:32:27,080
I noticed it.

1213
01:32:33,360 --> 01:32:39,180
Item J4 is a motion that is set to approve the authorization executive director assigned

1214
01:32:39,180 --> 01:32:40,780
to US questions in order to action.

1215
01:32:41,420 --> 01:32:44,880
Remember, I had a overview which a reimburseee to be 200 feet out.

1216
01:32:44,940 --> 01:32:45,260
So, Mo.

1217
01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:46,000
Commissioner Richards.

1218
01:32:46,420 --> 01:32:46,600
Second.

1219
01:32:47,580 --> 01:32:49,460
Mr. Pooh, table of post.

1220
01:32:49,600 --> 01:32:50,340
Curious by zero.

1221
01:32:50,940 --> 01:32:51,720
Next item.

1222
01:32:53,260 --> 01:32:56,080
And item chain 5 is the motion to approve the

1223
01:32:56,080 --> 01:32:58,700
control user review without construction and

1224
01:32:58,700 --> 01:33:00,280
SAV solutions for it.

1225
01:33:00,380 --> 01:33:03,020
I'll see it all for as the executive director to

1226
01:33:03,020 --> 01:33:04,720
execute the agreement.

1227
01:33:05,360 --> 01:33:06,280
Good motion.

1228
01:33:06,620 --> 01:33:07,140
That motion.

1229
01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:08,600
The motion pool.

1230
01:33:08,700 --> 01:33:10,020
Second, can you turn around right?

1231
01:33:10,440 --> 01:33:10,940
The discussion.

1232
01:33:11,080 --> 01:33:11,420
The whole table.

1233
01:33:11,740 --> 01:33:13,140
Of course, carries 5.0.

1234
01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:14,000
It's OK.

1235
01:33:14,620 --> 01:33:14,840
Uh-huh.

1236
01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:15,900
Now,

1237
01:33:18,250 --> 01:33:20,930
if that, I'm sorry, it was called

1238
01:33:20,930 --> 01:33:22,550
sorry, it's already questioned on that.

1239
01:33:37,630 --> 01:33:44,610
All right comments from the public. I have no cards comments from the Commission when you have anything

1240
01:33:44,610 --> 01:33:45,730
Thank you, Jane.

1241
01:33:46,710 --> 01:33:47,130
All right.

1242
01:33:47,610 --> 01:33:48,350
Bruce, anything?

1243
01:33:48,990 --> 01:33:49,150
No?

1244
01:33:49,410 --> 01:33:49,970
I have nothing.

1245
01:33:50,210 --> 01:33:50,390
All right.

1246
01:33:51,010 --> 01:33:55,450
The next meeting date, July 17th, at four o'clock.

1247
01:33:55,630 --> 01:33:56,530
Is that something, yes?

1248
01:33:56,790 --> 01:33:57,450
Excuse me.

1249
01:33:58,950 --> 01:34:05,290
You mentioned earlier that we would come on the early, before four in order to try to talk about

1250
01:34:05,290 --> 01:34:05,750
the chatter.

1251
01:34:05,930 --> 01:34:11,430
If we wanted to, did you think we would just have ten minutes of the meeting that we just

1252
01:34:11,430 --> 01:34:32,710
talk about it shouldn't be matter of what? I come early or what? It's duration. Well I think I'm just I'm so I've said it's that it's time to be. Yeah well we don't do we need to do it but I think it's probably better not but you can do it during the meeting. We'll do it during the meeting.

1253
01:34:32,710 --> 01:34:33,010
Okay.

1254
01:34:33,190 --> 01:34:33,590
Okay.

1255
01:34:33,870 --> 01:34:34,050
Good.

1256
01:34:34,050 --> 01:34:34,930
All right.

1257
01:34:35,390 --> 01:34:36,170
We're adjourned.
