Item D, a resolution of the 10 00:00:21,119 --> 00:00:26,640 city commission of the city of Sweetwater finding need for purchase of 11 00:00:25,039 --> 00:00:32,559 additional vehicles for the police department authorizing expenditure of no 12 00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:37,040 more than $320,000 for said purchase appropriating funds 13 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:41,399 from the Department of Justice forfeite account 164.521-569964.117 14 00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:49,840 providing for further authority and providing for an effective date. Mayor 15 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:55,360 Diaz, >> as you all know, this is uh some of the 16 00:00:52,640 --> 00:01:00,000 great uh proceeds that we get when we have 17 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:05,119 officers that detached to certain type of entities and we are able to get some 18 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:09,600 funds and they've done some really good work lately and they've actually come 19 00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:14,960 through with I think it's uh or a million dollars if I'm not mistaken and 20 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:20,320 you could add to that uh chief or deputy chief, whoever you want, but the bottom 21 00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:26,080 line is that we're taking this out of forfeite. This money does not come from 22 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:29,920 the abalor side of things. And I want to be real clear, this is a great work 23 00:01:27,759 --> 00:01:34,960 that's done from our law enforcement side and we're able to buy and update 24 00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:38,479 our fleet as we stated we would from the beginning. Do you have anything else to 25 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:43,280 add there? Go ahead. >> Um, nope. Uh, greetings all. Noel Gil, 26 00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:48,960 Deputy Chief of Police for the Sweet City of Sweetwater Police Department, 27 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:51,439 500 Southwest 109 Avenue. Um, just here if you need me to answer any of the 28 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,799 questions. >> Move. Second. 29 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,479 » Commissioner, >> is this for a firet truck? 30 00:01:56,079 --> 00:02:00,719 » Wow. >> Uh, no sir. It is actually for eight 31 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:04,399 cars. I know it's very similar cost to that of a of a Oshkosh firet truck, but 32 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,560 uh No. >> Thank Thank you. 33 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:12,000 » It is for eight cars. Commissioner R. >> I'm seeing here it says uh unmarked 34 00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:15,840 vehicles for detectives and administrative units that are aging. 35 00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:18,400 There's these are not going to none of them are marked units, right? 36 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:25,760 » No. So these aren't going to be marked units. So um you know um with with your 37 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:30,080 support uh we actually have uh updated a lot of our patrol vehicles, the marked 38 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:35,200 units, and we're slowly working on them to get them that much better. Uh but on 39 00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:40,239 the unmarked side, uh we're really hurting and uh I currently have uh two 40 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:46,160 detectives that currently do not have assigned cars. So they're kind of hot 41 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:51,599 racking cars and uh I've got um about three vehicles that are are greater than 42 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:56,640 uh 2018. So, the issue with that is as as you 43 00:02:53,920 --> 00:03:03,519 well know, uh cars that are typically out of warranty uh cost you yearly 44 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:08,879 anywhere between uh 3,000 to about 6,800 bucks depending dollars depending on on 45 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:13,680 issues that the cars develop, right? So, what you want to try and do is not have 46 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:16,720 an aging fleet uh that will cost you more than that of a new fleet. 47 00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:20,480 » Okay. >> Fourth. Any other comments by 48 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:25,200 commissioners? Okay. 49 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:28,319 » Uh, all in favor say I. >> I. 50 00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:30,720 » Any opposed?

I'm sure you have that on your strategic plan. You and I have spoken 59 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,319 about that. Um, so yeah, if you can give me that information, I really appreciate 60 00:04:09,519 --> 00:04:15,120 it. >> As needed, as the chief explained 61 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:18,880 before, as needed, we're using uh the monies that we're getting and properly 62 00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:21,199 switching out as needed. >> Yeah, 63 00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:25,440 » we still have some cars that uh we're dealing with and uh once we get to that 64 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:30,639 point, you'll I'll bring them back up and and uh we'll get it done. Great. Uh 65 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:36,240 as far as uh all the other strategic sides, it uh trust me before we spend 66 00:04:33,919 --> 00:04:41,520 one money out of our coffers, we we will deal with that. 67 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:46,400 » Great. Great. Thank you. Um item E. Uh this is a $10,000 donation. This is a 68 00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:51,759 budgeted item to the Community of Performing Arts Foundation, uh which is 69 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:55,919 Literaria that we have for the Nicaraguan community. We've had for many 70 00:04:53,120 --> 00:05:01,360 years. Um, so I'm seeking authorization approval by my colleagues unanimous uh 71 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:06,639 consent to approve the $10,000 donation to the community of performing arts 72 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:12,240 foundation. By the way, this is all made possible by commissioner Yano who many 73 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:18,080 years ago not only created the mechanism uh but started u donating to this 74 00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:21,759 foundation. I want to make it abundantly clear this would not be possible without 75 00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:26,080 commissioner. Looking for motion by Commissioner Rail 76 00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:29,919 Deay. Second by >> Second. 77 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:32,720 » Second by Commissioner Yananiel. Uh we don't need to have a roll call. All in 78 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,880 favor say I. >> I. 79 00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:43,199 » Any opposed? >> Okay. Item passes. And I know the mayor 80 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:48,000 is wholeheartedly supporting this item. Um the uh item F. I don't know if the 81 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:53,199 mayor is going to support this item. It's very difficult. It's the uh United 82 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:57,280 States Marine Corps ball donation. I know you're you're not very promilitary, 83 00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:01,440 sir, or anything like that. Our mayor is being honored by the United States 84 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:08,639 Marine Corps, the 250th anniversary of the Marine Corps um here in Miami. Uh 85 00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:13,759 the Marine Corps has decided to have uh our mayor be uh the guest speaker and 86 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:18,560 the guest of honor. Uh it would only be right if the city of Sweetwater had 87 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:23,280 tables. This is something that the United States Marine Corps uh has people 88 00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:29,280 purchase tables. I think it would be fitting if the city of Sweetwater had uh 89 00:06:26,479 --> 00:06:34,000 two tables. So, I'm authorizing approval by uh the commission to donate up to 90 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:38,000 $10,000 uh to the United States Marine Corps 91 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,440 Ball.

I think that's up there. 96 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,919 » I think that's up there, >> especially in the 250th birthday of the 97 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:05,039 Marine Corps. >> And it's actually Southcom that came 98 00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:09,360 personally. This is a South K ball and they came personally to bring uh the 99 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:14,319 invitation to meet with the colonel and it uh it's a twoar colonel that I mean 100 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:19,280 two star general major general that actually invited and and uh brought us 101 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:24,319 in. So it's a great honor not only to to myself but to the city and uh we should 102 00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:26,400 have a good time there and you're going to see what a Marine Corps ball is all 103 00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:30,400 about. >> I'll be taking an Uber in case anybody's 104 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:33,599 wondering. [laughter] >> All right. Um thank you Mr. Mayor. When 105 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,800 is that? >> Through the chair. 106 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:39,440 » 22. >> Commissioner Vil, you have the floor. 107 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:43,840 » Um, can I add an item as well to to donate uh $5,000 to the Miami Diaper 108 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,800 Bank? I know they've been on top of me for a while asking for that donation. I 109 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:50,319 just want to make sure that happened. You guys putting these items just 110 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:57,520 reminded me about that. So, you >> you can add the item if there's no 111 00:07:52,560 --> 00:08:00,160 commissioner that um chooses to not have that item. A commissioner can say, "I 112 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,919 don't want to have that item." And then it's four-day ruled. But if no 113 00:08:01,919 --> 00:08:10,639 commissioner has any issues, you can put that item. We um 114 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:14,000 point of order, Mr. Attorney, we can add this item as a pocket item at the end of 115 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:18,560 the agenda. >> Yes, you can because remember that this 116 00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:23,919 is this is a general the regular study commission meeting where additions are 117 00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:29,280 permitted. Um and simply because the we have passed the additions and uh 118 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:34,240 deletions portion of the agenda does not mean that it cannot be uh added later on 119 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:38,000 as a pocket item as has been done and two other matters. 120 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:41,120 » Okay.

Uh we will adjust for next year seeing that uh we had a lot of 137 00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:56,800 uh young witches and goblins and princesses and kings and everything 138 00:09:54,560 --> 00:10:04,399 there. It was uh great. We even had Caesar uh and everything. So, it it went 139 00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:11,040 uh very well and we had a very good time and you know, law enforcement did an 140 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:15,279 incredible job making sure uh that everybody was safe and I think that's 141 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:20,959 one of the reasons why so many people came uh and enjoyed it with us and I 142 00:10:18,079 --> 00:10:25,839 appreciate every one of you for showing up and also participating and helping in 143 00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:30,720 every way. Something that uh makes us proud in our community. uh we are moving 144 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:38,160 forward on many aspects of different uh things 145 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:44,560 that have been brought to us uh by each one of you differently. I am looking at 146 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:49,519 every one of them as was stated in the budget when we sat down and discussed 147 00:10:46,959 --> 00:10:55,680 the budget. Uh one of the things that was brought up to us was the uh flag uh 148 00:10:53,600 --> 00:11:01,120 to try to you know the flags to be put on the houses. Uh I have already reached 149 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:07,440 out to Home Depot. They have told me they are supportive. Uh we have a Home 150 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:12,640 Depot now the Sweetwater Home Depot which is uh very very very proud of 151 00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:18,720 them. They have also spent a lot of money there making sure that the houses 152 00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:24,160 are doing good. and daddy-do list. So with that said and done, we have also uh 153 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:28,320 looked at different aspects of beautifification. I am looking at 154 00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:34,160 different projects. We are looking at different uh methods of that 155 00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:42,480 beautifification. Treecape uh is important. We are dealing I know 156 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:50,959 that Scott and and I have sat along with Stephanie Baha and making sure that 157 00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:57,680 we're trying to get a a comprehensive plan of the city and what the city 158 00:11:55,200 --> 00:12:02,399 should look like in years to come. So every part of the monies that we get 159 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:07,279 from grants and the monies that we put, we already saw the street signs the way 160 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:12,000 they are and they look extremely nice. Everybody likes it. It brings our city 161 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:17,519 up. We are looking at all types of situations. Parking in the city is an 162 00:12:14,639 --> 00:12:24,560 issue and we're trying to figure out areas where we could create some more 163 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:28,399 parking and being able to do so um and deal with a parking situation. We have a 164 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:34,160 problem with people parking on top of the curbs and and parking where they 165 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:37,279 shouldn't be parking illegally. So, we're looking at some areas we're going 166 00:12:35,519 --> 00:12:41,680 to try to increase and have some parking, some areas of swell areas 167 00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:48,959 without losing the beautifification of the city. Uh we are looking at the area 168 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:55,839 of uh 2nd Street uh southwest between and 115th Avenue and Third Street and 169 00:12:51,839 --> 00:13:00,399 taking those the 115th Avenue upward and trying to create some more parking 170 00:12:57,519 --> 00:13:05,760 there. Um we have a lot of issues with people that uh are in certain buildings 171 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:12,160 and so on that leave their cars in other areas and then they go to the buildings. 172 00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:17,120 I thank you guys for backing up the uh making sure that we're able to put 173 00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:21,440 the the street signs that we needed to the no parking sites and the parks and 174 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:25,279 so on because we do know need those spaces for people that come to attend 175 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:29,760 our parks and not overnight parking which is something you guys had from 176 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:36,000 before. uh law enforcement, the chief and the chiefs in the department has 177 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:40,079 gotten um really strict on this because a lot of people have been complaining 178 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:43,920 about this that they can't even go to the park because there's cars are left 179 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:50,959 there all the time from people that live in other areas. So, that's just stuff 180 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:56,240 that uh we're going through as our as we continue to grow in our city and and 181 00:13:53,600 --> 00:14:02,800 we're trying to address every matter of it. Um, I think that's pretty much it. 182 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:09,040 It's uh we're going to be more detailed in the future. I will be bringing each 183 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:13,600 one of you in so you can see where we which direction we want to go. I think 184 00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:18,560 you'll be happy uh as far as doing but one of the things we need to do one is 185 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:24,240 the parking, two is those amount of spaces that we could try to grow and 186 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:30,000 also the way the future prevails with what will come. There's three to four 187 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:35,920 new buildings besides the area that we dealt with on Wednesday. Uh and there's 188 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:41,279 more more still to come that are just programming as we speak. So it's a lot 189 00:14:38,959 --> 00:14:44,800 of uh development and one of the things that's created is that now with the 190 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:50,480 development of certain buildings, it also creates sound problems, other 191 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:57,680 issues. So, we're going to work through it, but you know, the actual growth 192 00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:03,440 comes with its own pains, and that's going to be one of them because these 193 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:07,360 buildings are 30 stories high. And uh some of you that have been here for a 194 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:12,079 while know that you've been through this already before. So, with that, I just 195 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:18,320 wanted to give you uh and for the citizens to hear uh where we're at, but 196 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:21,120 we're addressing every single uh facet that we can. 197 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:26,000 » Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Commissioner's report. Any commissioner wishes to 198 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:30,000 report anything? Commissioner Yananiel? >> Yes. I just want to um [clears throat] 199 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,240 happies and giving to all the residents because we don't got to have a meeting 200 00:15:31,279 --> 00:15:34,720 until December. >> True. 201 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:39,440 » And uh enjoy with your friends and family and please be safe. 202 00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:46,320 Thank you. >> Um, I do have something and I completely 203 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:53,440 forgot about it. Uh, I also need to add an additional item. 204 00:15:49,839 --> 00:15:59,920 Um, this is something that, uh, the mayor and I had been speaking 205 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:05,040 about in the commissioners, um, I believe it's the commissioner's 206 00:16:01,839 --> 00:16:10,759 special events budget. Uh there's $30,000 for special events. Is that 207 00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:10,759 accurate? 208 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:21,839 » You don't remember? I believe there is. Um for the month of November, December, 209 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:25,199 I know that the mayor has a Christmas party at Hakanosa for the elderly. Is 210 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:30,560 that accurate? >> Yes. And that includes only the member 211 00:16:28,079 --> 00:16:34,880 all elderly uh for all of our elderly buildings or only 212 00:16:32,079 --> 00:16:36,800 » we've kept it in the past to the elderly from the elderly buildings 213 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,560 » right >> and uh because that way we could provide 214 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:44,560 transportation uh and so on. 215 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:50,000 » So what I'd like to do is I'd like to take uh some funding from the $30,000 216 00:16:48,079 --> 00:16:57,519 commission commissioner special events budget. give your office uh $5,000 for 217 00:16:55,120 --> 00:17:03,279 that event. That way we can have not only uh loos and Sweetwater Towers um 218 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:08,559 and other buildings, but also the participants in 219 00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:13,520 » Vossa. >> Um but I think adding the $5,000 to your 220 00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:18,640 budget will assist you and your staff not only with transportation, but 221 00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:21,280 bolster the event. Um you're going to be hosting that event 222 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:26,959 anyway. I just want to be able to give you additional funding unless any 223 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:31,120 commissioner has uh any qualms with that. I'd like to add an additional 224 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:38,160 $5,000 from the commissioner special events budget towards 225 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:43,360 um that event at Horge Makanosa Senior Center for the holiday party. Is that 226 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:50,000 sufficient language? So, if I could have a motion from uh my colleagues to add 227 00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:52,799 those $5,000 expenditures to the agenda. >> Move. 228 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:56,640 » Motion by Commissioner C. Ruiz, second by Commissioner Real. 229 00:17:55,039 --> 00:18:03,120 All in favor say I. >> I. And now I need approval to add the 230 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:06,960 $5,000 expenditure uh of those $5,000 in mayor's purview for that special event. 231 00:18:05,679 --> 00:18:09,200 Do we have a motion? >> Second. 232 00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:12,960 » Motion by Commissioner Ian Bil. Second by Commissioner Ran Alder. All in favor 233 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:18,400 say I. Any opposed? >> Item passes. So, I wanted to give you uh 234 00:18:15,679 --> 00:18:20,799 those uh that funding. I'm sure you can coordinate with Commissioner Yanu 235 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:25,360 because she knows that better than anybody. 236 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:32,000 » I've uh we've already had uh the two years or basically three with this one. 237 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:36,480 Uh that we've actually dealt with it. We could add uh more to give them more of 238 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:41,120 an entertainment and so on so they could really enjoy it. Great. Uh some people, 239 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:44,880 as [snorts] we know, we do do an event that is done very well at the elderly 240 00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:48,160 center for them. And by the way, I didn't mention 241 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:50,960 » the Halloween party at the center, but that that was that was a lot of fun. 242 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,480 » Yeah, I wasn't there. >> This time we had this mad dog running 243 00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:57,360 around chasing people down. It was very 244 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:02,960 interesting. >> So, 245 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:07,520 um Saul again with his things. So, uh, we will have the the one at the elderly, 246 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:13,360 uh, party, but that's only the members of that go there. And, um, we'll we'll 247 00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:19,200 try to, uh, spark it up a little bit. And if you know some elderly people that 248 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:22,400 do not belong in and do not come from those building and we need to know ahead 249 00:19:21,679 --> 00:19:26,000 of time >> because so we could get a head count 250 00:19:24,559 --> 00:19:28,720 » and do what we can to help. >> Sure. So to the chair, 251 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:34,160 » commission, >> I just want something. I just want to be 252 00:19:30,559 --> 00:19:38,400 clear.

So, we'll do it and uh 261 00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:08,080 » give them a little fun. >> That's all I want. 262 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,200 » Sounds great. >> All right, Mr. Mayor. Thank you for 263 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:15,000 that. Uh, city attorney's report. Do you have anything to report, sir? 264 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:23,440 » I did. City clerk report attached. I apologize. City attorney report. 265 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:29,679 » Yes. Uh, so this has been a fairly eventful month. Um I u worked for quite 266 00:20:27,039 --> 00:20:33,919 a while to draft the letter to the attorney general's uh or seeking 267 00:20:31,919 --> 00:20:38,960 attorney general opinion on the open carrier firearms. That letter was 268 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:44,080 finalized and went out very early this month. Um the letter itself was 269 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:49,360 approximately I believe 11 or 12 pages long plus all the attachments. the and I 270 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:54,880 spent a great deal of time to ensure that it was as perfect as possible in 271 00:20:52,320 --> 00:21:00,960 order for it to um to look good on the front page of the Herald if necessary. 272 00:20:57,360 --> 00:21:04,960 Um there is a case that we have filed uh uh seeking the foreclosure of real 273 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:10,240 estate on the grounds of uh code enforcement leans. The case was filed in 274 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:14,559 2023. Uh it was one of three cases that I 275 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:20,720 filed within a month of each other. That case is still grinding out because the 276 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:25,919 between um uh Martin Garcia, myself uh and the 277 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:33,120 mayor, we have wanted to give this individual an opportunity to correct his 278 00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:37,440 errors. Um and they're essentially I'm not an engineer, but they seem to be 279 00:21:34,799 --> 00:21:41,280 correctable. Um we've met with his lawyer. We've done everything possible. 280 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:48,159 Martine has met with them on multiple occasions and they seem to be either, 281 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:52,080 you know, unable to finish the process or confused as to what they need to do 282 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:55,679 or simply just stalling. I'm not sure which one it is at this point. 283 00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:01,039 Regardless, I've moved for summary judgement in that case, which is to 284 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:06,480 bring the case to a conclusion without a trial. Um, that motion itself took quite 285 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:12,320 a bit of time and it's over 100 pages long actually. Um, so that was filed 286 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:16,799 earlier this week. Um, I hope actually it was filed last week. Um, I hope to 287 00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:20,640 have it set for hearing sometime in January or February. And that should 288 00:22:18,799 --> 00:22:22,480 bring that case to a conclusion unless he's able to wrap up his issues before 289 00:22:22,159 --> 00:22:26,880 then. >> What is the address of that location? 290 00:22:24,559 --> 00:22:31,760 » Um, hold on. >> Is it a residential or commercial? 291 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:34,000 » It is uh forplex. Four or sixplex. >> Commercial. 292 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:38,159 » Yeah. So, it's commercial. >> What's the address? 293 00:22:34,799 --> 00:22:41,120 » Uh, just a moment. Fifth Street didn't >> on Sixth Street actually. 294 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,520 » Sixth Street. >> I think I know that. Okay. 295 00:22:42,799 --> 00:22:45,919 » It is >> I don't need to know that. Well, unless 296 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,200 anybody want >> Go ahead. 297 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,320 » Okay. 107. >> Another one on Fifth Street, too. 298 00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:55,039 » 10710 Southwest 6th Street. 299 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:59,520 » So again, it's one of those cases where we 300 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,559 felt sorry for the individual. So we gave him time and time and time, but 301 00:23:01,039 --> 00:23:07,039 according to Martin, they just haven't done anything. So, I just dropped the 302 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:12,080 hammer at this point. File the motion for summary judgement and I'm going to 303 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:14,960 get it set for hearing. And I don't see at this stage I don't see any defense on 304 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:21,520 their part. Of course, I haven't they haven't responded to it yet. So, that's 305 00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:26,240 still open. Finally, um there was a uh a claim filed uh in the Florida Commission 306 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:31,360 of Human Rights by Yamaling Game. that matter has been closed 307 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:36,320 and the uh Florida Commission on Human Rights has stated that there is no 308 00:23:33,679 --> 00:23:38,960 probable cause to proceed with any further investigation on her part on her 309 00:23:38,559 --> 00:23:42,000 claim. >> I know who it is. 310 00:23:40,159 --> 00:23:45,440 » No, I'll explain to you afterwards offline if you want to. 311 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:48,480 » Okay. Anything else, Mr. Attorney? >> No, sir. 312 00:23:46,159 --> 00:23:54,080 » Thank you for your report. Police report is attached. Building and zoning report 313 00:23:51,280 --> 00:24:02,919 is attached. Code compliance report is attached. Public works report is 314 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:02,919 attached.

Parks and recreation report attached. Unfinished business. New 318 00:24:13,919 --> 00:24:21,120 business. Good of the order. >> Ajournment. All in favor say I. 319 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,120 » I. Have a good night, folks.
