[0:08] >> The common meaning the order and then do the pledge of

[0:20] >> United States.

[0:21] And 2 for which it stands one nation under God, it will be a just

[0:31] >> Good evening everyone, so we'd like to do a roll call roll

[0:51] >> Morsy is absent and Christina here for.

[0:57] Okay and I'd like to know if we have any opening comments we could start them with you Mike.

[1:01] I do not like okay,

[1:10] >> And so we have to make an approval of the agenda.

[1:11] So with someone like to make a motion to approve the agenda please motion to approve the agenda.

[1:16] >> From.

[1:17] >> Today's meeting for today's meeting

[1:26] The approval of the agenda

[1:31] been approved and emsa now we'd like to have a motion for the approval of the minutes make.

[1:35] >> A motion to approve the minutes from the August 6 education committee meeting.

[1:39] >> Do we have a second by second that all in favor aye any opposed.

[1:45] >> And we are on to old business and at the review of the school advisory

[1:52] >> Is that how you want to know so I brought that up just to make sure everyone's OK with their assignments if we have anything that we'd like to discuss from those meetings anything they like to bring

[2:03] >> I've been to 2 meetings so far just but at polar Park they haven't come to me directly with anything they want to bring to the board but they know right when I'm there for them a liaison, so okay so far so

[2:19] >> Okay and then we'd like to have a the discussion about the frequency of the education committee meetings.

[2:26] >> So when I brought this up I just want to just basically give a whole clear understand so it's a minimum of quarterly meeting so if we like to call any additional meetings if there's anything that comes up to this act means or are we just

[2:39] want to have a workshop.

[2:40] We're definitely open that so we're just to stick to the quarterly and if based off requests, we'll just keep adding more and more if need be so we can do workshop meetings and or these official meetings if if we have something that was substance

[2:51] to talk about.

[2:52] >> So how does that work though we want to request it doesn't have to be discussed so the chair.

[2:57] >> Vice chair can go ahead and request to me I put up the ladder and then will we can make it happen.

[3:03] >> I mean how did you all feel about it and then we had a little time to think about we talked about at the last meeting about having a few more meetings on there.

[3:09] We need to talk about like the new vision and and the ways we want to move forward as an education committee I think we talked about maybe having a workshop in order to do that.

[3:20] >> Do we have any requests for like how how quick do we want this workshop, I'm open to any day, I know our next tentative date for the education committees November 5th on Tuesday, if we like a meeting before that just to do the quick discussion

[3:32] and workshop as long as we're within the sunshine while we should be a-okay.

[3:36] >> So if we had a meeting before that we discuss it and then we would vote on anything we discussed it just as they come from request or from the chair, the vice chair and then we can make it happen doesn't have to be entire built like we're

[3:48] definitely open to a vote.

[3:49] >> It's just a chair provides all the special meeting is to discuss remember vision and how we want to make a new forward as an education committee, okay I like it.

[3:59] I think it would be great if we could plan that date tonight so we can offer an advance and just you know no one to know ahead of time so we can try to be here.

[4:08] >> And at another way we would do it would be to do it at the November 8th meeting is that.

[4:13] >> Yes an Expedia we could also discuss that that next state could be a week or 2 after that we wanted to just really going to the vision statement of education committee and maybe and it's something that of that nature and really decide with

[4:22] education Committee wants

[4:31] >> Before you mention November 8th as of November and member >> I mean I you know I think it's a good idea for the committee to review what the mission as I know there are some things that maybe you know now we're like post-covid that we need

[4:50] to speak about things like that so I'm open to making the day today or pointing to the 5th that's >> I opened having a workshop before.

[5:01] Yeah, the number 54, yes I am what about you guys what do you think about before that or just prefer to do it at the November 5th meeting.

[5:09] >> I'm I kiss it sort of depends only

[5:17] >> October is like a busy busy to Iran about is that exactly yeah so busy, especially.

[5:26] >> And for you know the committee members that are possibly involved in their own school and the fundraisers and things like that happening and what not but I mean if.

[5:38] >> If we can squeeze one minute.

[5:38] Here's my concern like can we get all the information too.

[5:44] Our committee before November 5th, so we can think about some things first and then be ready.

[5:49] >> Yeah I can do the same thing we did with the SEC assignments and just do it for the next meeting just so I can just say hey there's a few proposed dates that we have availability on Council chambers.

[5:57] See if that works with the new guys schedule and then we can go from there.

[6:01] >> Well I think what I meant was if we could get information about our vision statement and maybe.

[6:07] Compile some thoughts that each of us have into one document so we can kind of review.

[6:12] It ahead of time and then at that November 5th meeting hit the ground running rather than just kind of asking questions and all of that.

[6:20] >> Absolutely so everyone can just forward then that information to me I think about in one document so we're under sunshine law and then we should be okay.

[6:25] >> I mean agreement on that.

[6:28] >> And so I think that's good because I didn't want to have to catch up you know like hatchery right now and rather just be able to get some separate competition, it was seeking to say can we sort of like pre discuss it and then yeah, so if

[6:41] we're a dollar thoughts on paper things that we would

[6:45] to see and then we can submit any and then you put it in one document an Aussie ahead of time and be prepared to discuss at that meeting substance.

[6:53] I did have one so after a November 5th, because of Thanksgiving weekend everything would you guys like to me like beginning of December when it's not so busy for critic after Thanksgiving, but before Christmas gets kind of crazy year.

[7:05] >> Mike first week in December members probably the only week I'd be able to and yeah we have to kind of be the only we get >> As long as there's availability in the council chambers or that or the conference tournament there we should be okay,

[7:16] I can imagine one of the.

[7:19] >> It will be for you guys want to pick a day so we haven't had an a calendar that you don't

[7:30] We could be tentative at least have it so yeah, yeah that sends care are set meetings that week the first week of December for example landings.

[7:39] As the Monday the second I don't know if you would consider having on a Monday but that's a second meeting for school so other schools may also have staff meetings that so.

[7:49] >> James can you figure that part out for us and then send that in the email maybe that would be better look at that first week tentatively and then see if there's any conflicts so I will actually have the dates right here in front of a microphone.

[8:03] >> Season Thursday, so it doesn't look like there's any meetings on Tuesday so

[8:07] December 3rd.

[8:08] >> Could be a good attentive date for us for now and then of course we'll confirm that in

[8:38] >> Okay and we're on to new business that was pretty fast Us or Anthony business I wish I had my reading glasses.

[8:44] Assuming it says reduce speed, it's a red and then school

[8:50] safety presentation.

[8:51] >> All right but I don't want to thank you, thank you Sir.

[8:54] >> Good evening, education committee I'm Nicole co time the villages emergency management public safety director and we're here tonight to talk to you about a program that is actually going to Council on October 8th for approval, it's school

[9:08] zone speed enforcement cameras and we actually have David with red speed here who's going to provide the presentation and this project came to us through our vision 0 initiative which was all about making our roadways safer here here in the

[9:21] village of Wellington so this kind of fits under that umbrella vision 0 and with that I'll just turn it over to David to give us a presentation.

[9:27] ?

[9:28] >> Good evening everyone to come a T's and gentlemen.

[9:34] >> There you go just a little bit about myself before I jump into the presentation like Nicole said my name is David Dennis be a a in June I retired from the Miami Beach police Department I was the assistant chief of operations.

[9:47] And then shortly thereafter Reds beat pick me up and gave me some fancy title may be the vice president of client relations and sales, mainly client relations so when we get a contract with the city on the one that helps them on board and brings

[9:56] them on board and does all the people working on things that we need ?

[10:00] to do.

[10:01] Come out of retirement so quickly because I really do believe in the mission of red speed and what we're trying to accomplish with with with our systems.

[10:12] Like many of you for the last 6 years I serve on my daughters.

[10:15] Safety committee and school advisory committee in Broward County so it's very important for me that that we accomplish the safety aspect of the school zones and all our schools really I really wish that every city would would pick this up whether

[10:31] it's red speed or somebody else there are the vendors but with its red speed or not just in order to achieve that goal of reducing and to have people really the goal is to.

[10:44] Change driver behavior so that when they think of a school and they're approaching the school they automatically slow down because they know it's not going to get a ticket.

[10:50] Our deputies, our police officers can't be in every school zone every minute of the day.

[10:54] But my cameras can and so that would presentation we're going to show you gonna kind of go over that I was given James at 40 minutes right.

[11:04] >> And it's not that long.

[11:04] >> I have 2 short videos and here was a 3 minute video was just a real short PSA just as an example and I just clicking through here on the left I'm James you can go and just got it okay.

[11:14] So no no shocker here Florida you know back in 2018 ranked first in the country is having the most dangerous school zones.

[11:20] Not a surprise not a shock.

[11:26] Grades for for for safety 20 Florida counties as you can see both rural and urban.

[11:31] And the fatality rate of someone that hit by car 20 miles per hours 10%.

[11:33] But if you just go up to that 58 miles per hour now jumped all the way up to 90% so really this is a no-brainer we really want we really need to slow people down when they're in school zones.

[11:45] All right this is the short video you'll have.

[11:51] >> Florida is most dangerous state test reasons to address this the Florida Legislature passed a bipartisan law.

[11:58] >> HB 67 just an egregious speeding in school zones statewide lawn.

[12:02] Speed may be in force only when schools and see.

[12:06] >> And in a half-hour before classes start during and a half hour after school ends.

[12:13] Cameras can only be place in designated schools, it's a ?

[12:16] violations are issued for speeds exceeding posted speed limit by 10 miles per hour.

[12:19] And signs will be posted prior to the camera location.

[12:24] The municipality or County must conduct a public awareness campaign and issue warning for a period of 30 days prior to commencing enforcement.

[12:31] It's a $100 civil penalty.

[12:33] >> Red speed speed cameras can mentally for speed.

[12:36] But also provide your Police Department with invaluable video and license plate recognition capability used for purposes of determining criminal or civil liability for incidents captured by the speed detection system incidental to the permissible

[12:49] use of the speed action system recipe uses either a 3 D tracking radar Orleans, specific light are above ground not invasive detection method Lane, specific identification and speed triggers that ?

[13:00] record accurate speeds within the plus or -1 mile per hour.

[13:05] Our cameras powerful ?

[13:06] enough to simultaneously track 250 objects in its field of view.

[13:09] In addition to issuing speed violations comprehensive speech statistics are compiled by the system it can help scientists determine if there's a need for additional enforced, but this is to perform the daily star ?

[13:22] to calibrate just started force but only after all check surpassed successfully.

[13:28] Wind speeds speed cameras working on weather conditions and can be configured ?

[13:30] to work simultaneously with video with an independent lpr component.

[13:36] The Reds beat system provides a video archive that can be used for incidental criminal and civil enforcement we'll time video streaming 45 day video access via any device, it's consistent with state law for determining simple will criminal liability

[13:49] for events captured instead ultimately force Mont other as users can access HD video from any of the overview and late specific video camera.

[13:58] >> Streams to find the time of interest and download the video of the directly on ?

[14:03] >> their device.

[14:05] Elaine specific video cameras or zoomed in to provide clear identification of vehicle features ?

[14:08] caller asked.

[14:11] >> We make.

[14:14] Models.

[14:14] ?

[14:14] And license plate in this is for all lanes of enforcement.

[14:21] A combination of overview video at least specific video allows for crime investigators to not only trace the vehicle through ?

[14:24] the intersection it also reads placed.

[14:29] ?

[14:30] License plate recognition.

[14:31] ?

[14:32] The license plate recognition module is a real-time license plate identification system.

[14:38] A centralized place archive across all ?

[14:40] lpr enabled cameras that work simultaneously with the speed enforcement system.

[14:46] PR modules, a real-time license plate of the occasion system with the central was played archive across all lpr enable cameras that work in ?

[14:50] the past really up to speed enforcement system.

[14:57] Supports real-time amber alert functionality ?

[14:59] text or email notifications to individual or groups of authorized recipients.

[15:06] PR can imports.

[15:06] >> Existing state and federal help us generate custom helpless and export played ?

[15:10] >> arcade databases third-party applications already in use by the

[15:19] >> So along with the main goal of reducing speed in school zones because really I think that has to be the main goal but as you can see by the video there's a lot of other benefits and from the law enforcement perspective.

[15:30] The license plate readers and those and that technology that is part of what we provide is invaluable.

[15:37] The ability to have immediate hits on for example wanted vehicles or let's say somebody has to

[15:45] away or from from this particular School of that that's registered in there.

[15:51] Then deputies that have that system and what we offer is flock which is the system that Palm Beach sheriff's office uses.

[15:54] They'll get that instant notifications so there's tremendous benefit besides the main goal which is to reduce the speed.

[16:02] It also does provide revenue, you know I like to say this is not about money because the the first of all the fine is a $100.

[16:10] I left for each of you a little pamphlet and in there is the breakdown of what the fine is like.

[16:14] So it's not a tremendous amount of money as matter of fact of one of the deputies write you a ticket for an equivalent miles per hour over you're probably looking at about $400 for that ticket plus points.

[16:26] Art is a civil violations that only $100 no points.

[16:27] No impact on the it wasn't about the money.

[16:30] But all of the money that the village will receive from it can be used and can only be used for public safety initiatives.

[16:38] So it has to come back into the village for for those purposes, I'm sure the education committee also note that $12.12 1% of that $100 fine goes back to the school district and again they need the use that money only for improvements of for

[17:00] example.

[17:01] Pedestrian improvements sidewalk safety issues that that those kinds of things are very kind of restricted on what the can use it doesn't go into a general fund of the school district.

[17:09] So that's that's a that's a benefit for for the school district in Palm Beach.

[17:13] And then the the best part I think for for the municipality and for the villages that it's 0 cost for them.

[17:22] 0 people ask how much is this costing nothing we install everything we go through the permitting process we do the construction.

[17:25] We put up the equipment and then what we do is from the $60 that the village gets we get $21 of that $60 and that's how we get our our our payment from from the

[17:42] A couple of other just benefits we kind of talked about liberating the force multiplier aspect of this so the captain here in Wellington can now redirect resources to other areas as opposed to having motor man or deputies, sitting in school

[17:56] zones, nice to pull cars

[18:02] Coming up you agree with me.

[18:03] >> 2 maybe 3 at a time for that's already getting dangerous.

[18:09] The cameras will pick up everyone that's going over the speed limit 10 miles 11 miles over the speed limit.

[18:16] >> So it's a force multiplier they can be redirected to things that are that are other things that that are of importance and then as that officer safety officer safety come one of that I like to add because.

[18:26] One of the most dangerous things we do as law enforcement to the 2 most dangerous things we do want to traffic and the other is domestic violence call so by eliminating that need to have that interaction with the drivers that's an officer safety

[18:37] component for the Palm Beach sheriff's office.

[18:40] And that was the last thing is the video archiving if there's an incident also so the system can be used to speed system cannot be used for active surveillance so there's that they're not allowed to sit there and watch and you know to do drug

[18:55] bust in that kind of thing however if there's an incident that occurs and it's incidental to the surveillance.

[19:00] They will have access to go back into the system we restored for 45 days, they'll be able to go back into the system and pull that video out for the purposes that's huge when it comes to investigations, God forbid you have a serious accident

[19:15] or homicide and robbery any of those things and if the camera captured it they'll be able to use it as evidence and that's I think huge I can tell you from my experience in Miami Beach.

[19:24] You know sleepy little town with not much happens that the cameras were a very instrumental in our success in solving crimes.

[19:34] One of the things that we recipe do is we provide and we assist the village with the public say the public awareness campaign which is required by law and so one of the things we do is we produce a public service announcement.

[19:48] Along with Flyers and you know a lot of other things a question and answer for their website.

[19:52] The village will get its own dedicated toll-free website.

[19:56] So that when somebody has a question they can call the toll-free number folks at our customer service know that it's Wellington and based on rules that we you still have to go through once once hopefully this gets approved by Council.

[20:09] They'll know how to answer whatever the question is so they'll have what we believe will have its own dedicated toll-free number.

[20:18] Whoever gets a violation hearing the here in the village.

[20:23] All right so this is an example and these PSA is can be tailored to however the village however, the client wants I have clients where it's been the chief of police that does the whole thing.

[20:31] I have clients where the chief of police.

[20:37] Introduces and a man or motor woman in one case does does remainder this case I like the uses the example because they play Chris when a little bit creative they actually involved principals of schools in there PSA and so I just really think

[20:51] they did a good job of it, but we produce is we've we tape it we feel meant we have a company that puts us together he hit my fact that was with him yesterday we were doing a plantation.

[20:58] Video and he does a fantastic job.

[21:07] >> School zone speed cameras have been proven to reduce speeds and improve safety around our schools, our speed enforcement cameras are located at our Publix schools and at Gulliver preparatory camp I mean to North Academy and ramp and a school

[21:23] at Temple Beth am.

[21:25] >> We want our students and our families to know that we are watching out for our children and we're doing that in all aspects while they're out of school coming to school and inside East.

[21:34] >> Drivers will be notified with signs that code enforcement is being utilized in the area.

[21:38] School cameras are active whenever school is Inc enforcement hours begin 30 minutes before the start of the school day and continue until 30 minutes after school ends drivers traveling in excess of 10 miles per hour will be cited the notice

[21:55] of violation is a civil penalty it will be mailed to the vehicles registered owner and it includes a $100 fine a driver's license and not incur any points and one factor insurance eye the village of pine Crest will retain 60% of the funds to

[22:10] administer the speed detection system program.

[22:13] >> It's just going to build a safer and better the lives of pie crust be part of the team that's going to make this community bigger better and safer.

[22:21] >> Pine Crest Police Department encourages all drivers especially in school zones to put down their phones pay attention ?

[22:25] to the road wins and be a responsible

[22:31] >> So how do we know it works which is always a good question.

[22:37] We've been in operation in Georgia, which has a very similar law to Florida affect Florida's law was modeled after the Georgia law we've been in Georgia for over 5 years almost 6 years now.

[22:45] We have about 70% of that market and in terms of clients.

[22:50] And we've seen repeatedly 90% reduction from when we do the speech study at the beginning before we installer systems to the first year after completion and then we see 25% reductions year after year beyond that we only see about a 10% recidivism

[23:04] meaning you know the one thing only about 10% get another fine once they get the first finding usually learned her lesson.

[23:14] So we know it works and and so you know the goal then is to do that and replicate that here in Florida I I'll say this just in will be lasting as an open up for questions.

[23:22] Now the state of the in Tallahassee theirs.

[23:27] I really get the exact number but it's about a 120 elected officials between the Senate and the House there's only 9 to sense for this for this law which to me says in the environment we're in this book and I read this bipartisan support for

[23:41] this law.

[23:41] Israeli to cause a no-brainer

[23:49] I will thank you for listening to me I gave this presentation couple weeks ago to the public safety committee as well I think it was well received it was well received I made it out without getting arrested and I know that I'm coming back in

[24:01] a month or so for the senior.

[24:04] In your advisory committee and I've had one on ones with a lot of the council members.

[24:11] Most appear to be very supportive of this but anybody has any specific questions maybe I didn't cover that I can answer.

[24:18] >> I think it's great I'm I'm so happy to hear that it's free for for the village of Wellington then you know, I'm assuming there's going to be those that just aren't paying attention and will continue to do it does it does it go to collections

[24:33] or how does it.

[24:35] If they don't pay yeah if they're constantly like had to writes OK so if someone gets a violation.

[24:40] >> And they completely ignore it.

[24:43] >> Yeah.

[24:46] >> It can it will turn eventually into a uniform traffic citation now they still won't get any points.

[24:48] But then it goes into the clerk of courts process.

[24:53] Now if they go to let's say the elect for hearing.

[24:58] Right they got the civil fund a civil violation they elect for hearing.

[25:02] You know they do not show up or they show up in their found guilty and then don't pay it within the 30 days after that can then go to collections.

[25:11] Who runs the hearing.

[25:11] It would be the magistrate for here for for the bill which yeah so there's 2 things that the village has to has to provide one is a magistrate for those hearings now I'll tell you that again just utilizing the data that we have from Georgia

[25:24] only 2% of people.

[25:26] The good violations request hearings.

[25:29] I think there's a certain amount of embarrassment to come in front of someone I was doing 50 miles an hour.

[25:34] In our and then only one percent actually show up so it's very minimal a number of people that actually request these hearings.

[25:40] But so that's one thing that villages to provide a magistrate in order to adjudicate these these of these hearings and then a traffic enforcement officer, whether it's from Palm Beach or could be a code officer that specially trained to actually

[25:54] do the review before we mail out the violation so we review it twice back in our offices.

[26:00] We pull all the information in terms of that the registered owner information we put into our system and then it comes here to the village where someone has to go through and you know I can say this because I was a cop for almost 30 years the

[26:11] system is cop proof it's a green button and a red button and it's a the presumption is it's a rebuttable presumption in the end it was built in the debate into the law meaning as long as my equipment is functioning right there is no rebuttal

[26:26] to it.

[26:26] It's assume that to be that you were speeding.

[26:30] And so it's it's a very easy system for them 2 to approve those are the 2 things that the village has to provide we handle the rest.

[26:39] >> Okay and the say that the citation that's issued is that issue but the village of Wellington is that.

[26:44] How how walk me through that if you get the ticket for you.

[26:48] >> The that's all the branding is village of Wellington there's there's nothing on anything that we send out to violators that says red speed not even the final administrative order let's say they go to a hearing and they're found guilty.

[26:59] >> What will prepare and what mail it out, but all of that.

[27:03] >> Is village of Wellington it's got the village Crest it's got the village branding yeah, it's from the village of Wellington there.

[27:10] The village is contracting with us to perform this function for

[27:15] That's why we have to pass an ordinance in order to.

[27:20] Be allowed to do this to actually codify to be able to to be able to do it OK.

[27:26] >> In the in these the funding aspect, I'm sorry.

[27:30] And in the funding aspect.

[27:32] >> The $12 that goes to the locals school districts is that going to the Palm Beach County school district or is that coming to a separate fund here in Wellington so that's one of the Palm Beach County.

[27:42] School district.

[27:43] I'll tell you this just and I'm not going to I'm going to say who but I know that when you're elected council members did bring up and we're looking into having conversations with the school district to see if that those funds can be.

[27:59] Dedicated to the service here in Wellington but that's something we have to work out is that that would be nice to do.

[28:05] For all the cities that right and that anyone with a lot of doubt are there other municipalities here in Palm Beach County that are utilizing us at this point so we have Alexa hat she'd Grove which is getting ready to put it in front of their

[28:17] counsel we've been doing presentations with them Delray Beach.

[28:21] >> Is getting ready go in front of Council you all might be the first just based on the calendar to actually approve it.

[28:28] We're north of 20 plus throughout the state I can tell you you know the big ones that we have miami-dade County is about 230 schools.

[28:39] Tallahassee city of Tallahassee manatee County Hillsborough County.

[28:44] South Miami pine Crest from Miami gardens West Miami.

[28:50] Plantation coconut Creek Deerfield.

[28:51] High Springs Lottie

[28:55] And on this a couple, I know So yeah we've we've we've got quite a few.

[29:05] >> Okay and then the.

[29:05] >> Last on last probably not >> They don't yeah they the the camera and PR out there are only enforcing during a time period but are they running throughout 24 7.

[29:23] Yes, the cameras are running 24 7.

[29:27] >> However, we are only triggering the enforcement aspect of this the half hour before the half hour after throughout the day.

[29:31] Okay they're not triggered when there's no school vacation days off weekends, they're not they're not triggering violations but they are running.

[29:41] >> And are they the and you may you may not know the answer this but the LP Ares going to be hooked up to the same system lpr is that we currently have yes, okay, yes, flock.

[29:52] Flock systems, okay.

[29:53] >> We've been working with a captain that's in the the traffic division with pbso really the goal would be

[30:02] All of the contract cities would fall into the same just to make it easier for PBS elves that there's not multiple systems that they're working off of that really it would be ideal.

[30:10] But that's up to each individual municipality to decide whether or not they can do that great thank you.

[30:15] Yes, Sir.

[30:17] >> I've been chomping at the bit over here.

[30:20] I think this is incredible.

[30:24] I'm on board entirely so I think we all have unique perspective, you know and wherever we are in life 20 years from now I'll have an entirely different perspective and passion, but right now in from the perspective of a mother of school-age

[30:35] children who sits in school lines.

[30:40] And.

[30:41] It is really a need and I'm so grateful to see this car up today because I've been sitting in the school lines and I've been personally experiencing the chaos.

[30:52] So I think this is this is amazing for the safety of the students and I also had a question for you about so when I was in the school line on September 4th.

[31:03] I was actually witness to a car accident that was a road rage type of car accidents.

[31:08] So my point is with these cameras also be able to be used if the accident happens in the school during these hours could those cameras be used to then help and you know it could if if the camera captures it captures action that could be used

[31:23] for for okay Yep I and I I really believe in this I think that just the awareness people seen adults behavior.

[31:31] Well calm down just by knowing they're there I think you're going to see.

[31:37] I I'm not just hope I think it will.

[31:38] >> How I definitely I mean 90% reduction in Georgia, you know year later that's the entire state that's over 70 clients that we have in Georgia, so that we know the data shows that it's going to help it's going to reduce speed.

[31:50] You know, 10% are probably people that you know don't go through there all the time the goal really like I said at the beginning.

[31:56] We're trying to change driver behavior now don't know if you all are aware miami-dade so miami-dade County there's a city called about Harbor.

[32:04] Nobody speeds to about Harbor.

[32:04] Why because they know it's only one road.

[32:07] It's 5 walks and there's a motorman ways and so they fly through

[32:17] city North.

[32:17] And then when they get to it and 91st Street will starts room.

[32:21] >> They sold out why because the condition and so my hope is that eventually all school zones have these.

[32:28] Just drivers will become condition that when they think school how fast a mile and the slowdown.

[32:37] 10 miles per hour 11 miles per hour because really we're only worse after hit 11 miles per hour.

[32:41] So think about that 20 mile per hour school zone they're not getting it taken to the hit 31.

[32:45] That's way too fast.

[32:46] Now that's the law so that then we can to change it.

[32:49] I think it's why he got such bipartisan support because of many factors and I think that's one of

[32:55] And when that speed zone turns into 40 miles per hour.

[32:59] During the day regular you're talking about 51 miles per hour through a school that is way too fast when I was out writing tickets in school zones.

[33:06] I only gave him 6 miles they're hitting their vehicle hit 6 miles over this.

[33:09] The was flashed in front in the head 6 miles over there getting a ticket because it because it is that's how important it

[33:19] I mean this business for a while we've seen ugly accidents that.

[33:22] Yeah that yes the worst I.

[33:23] >> Think also because I mean the main is to slow people down.

[33:25] But and this is a question not just a comment that that I think it will also him prove behavior even at 3 or 4 miles an hour because what I'm seeing is not just sometimes regularly.

[33:37] Cars going into oncoming traffic lanes to cut somebody off to go around to almost hit a child to run over you know if there's a lot of that going on to that's happening at a very low speed maybe 1, 2, to 5 miles an hour.

[33:49] So I was just wondering if this system won't just help capture some of those or.

[33:56] You know I think it will help with behavior, you know generally that yeah.

[33:58] I mean you know as I hope that that that it.

[34:02] >> It makes people put their phones down yeah, there's not that that irks me more than I would help in my daughter's school in the mornings and.

[34:12] And my 2 and a Catholic school and meet the Press one time payments because David Daniel with the parents.

[34:19] >> And I got a father, I'm a I'm a cop is known I still yeah you're not uniform, you can't you can't do the parents.

[34:24] We've got to put the phones down.

[34:25] So yes, hopefully the idea would be that it would it would also impact those kinds of behaviors.

[34:29] >> Nicole you can we get some of these numbers out yeah.

[34:33] So we did that we did studies for your schools, right beforehand and.

[34:38] And this one elementary school.

[34:39] One day there's a one-day study.

[34:48] Triggered that over 11 miles per hour and that one day 1156 violators.

[34:55] Another elementary school different elementary school 1003.

[35:00] And then it kind of drops another elementary school for 69 which still way too high.

[35:07] 4.27.

[35:07] 3 89 3.72 to 73 tool 6 for us anything over 200.

[35:13] >> It's very bad 1156 violations of people going over 20 miles an hour over well at 3110 plus over 38.

[35:20] It was 20 they were doing 30 member this all day so depends on what time of day they were driving by it's 10 over there going 10 miles over the speed limit where the speed limit is at the time that they got capture if you had 1156 in that one

[35:34] elementary school.

[35:34] >> I see any chance you want to tell us which school it was we want to say was going.

[35:38] >> I do know this is a public good, but it will be now.

[35:45] Binx forest

[35:53] And it was on banks forest drive that that approach you but I'm sorry I don't know your

[36:02] >> Yeah actually I did have as many.

[36:05] I guess it to partner.

[36:08] >> So what each school may get the one unit.

[36:13] >> No it depends on the school's on so some schools and may have multiple zones, right and then pending you know if we put one pull up that means we're going to be able to install bi-directional cameras, but it depends on the location, there's

[36:27] a lot of variables where is the power source coming from that all has to be worked on the engineering side of this once once we get going.

[36:34] They got a look at the exact location figure out, but you ideally you want to get them coming and going right so we might be or what I at the beginning of the school zone one at the other end of the school zone to get both you either North or

[36:44] South or East West.

[36:47] Whichever so and then >> We're really just talking about.

[36:52] Sending violations for for automatic violations for speeders correct.

[36:54] It's not like gay.

[36:58] You know during

[37:03] At our school for example that the intersection there's like I know right on red during school hours and that one is by far the most like.

[37:14] I guess violated right safety, you know

[37:19] >> So although we do do many red speed.

[37:20] Red light cameras

[37:25] do that that is not what's before you and that is not what's before the council and you know read like program and I started to read like program program in Miami Beach 15 years

[37:36] Connotation to it has a different feel to it.

[37:38] The distribution of the funds was different.

[37:42] So.

[37:43] The transfer question know this is strictly speed.

[37:44] It's not automatic.

[37:49] Because have to go through 3 levels of review before it issued so.

[37:54] Attic they want to trigger to trick triggers automatic, yes, it triggers automatically.

[37:58] Yes, it's only speed on the speed.

[38:03] >> Which is so good it was just yes, no it is jeriann and I'm not if you could only and this is a problem here is that would be great public hearing.

[38:12] I'm not saying that red light cameras are.

[38:15] >> Good because we've had a Miami Beach for many years and they're very successful in reducing crashes at those intersections there's a there's a value to it.

[38:24] The issue always was just the language in the statute were some magistrates winter putting a certain way you know the right turn on red California rolls you know, he's the love that he did a California Rob we were not in California, you know

[38:35] right now anyways.

[38:40] >> So yeah I want to give that impression anti read like Amazon.

[38:41] The country that's I think it's got value to it and if down the road to the village wants to explore that we can but what's before the council today.

[38:48] Well when it comes up in October is the speed.

[38:52] >> I think this is great I'm all for it, I'm a parent at banks.

[38:57] I've seen it I think anything to keep our kids safe.

[39:01] I love how they included principles in the public service announcement I think that really makes it more personal.

[39:05] I think it's great.

[39:09] >> Yeah, and if if the council approves.

[39:12] It will work with Nicole and the rest of the team to figure out what that PSA will look like.

[39:17] Whatever they want really.

[39:21] >> I also think it's great I do have a question so does that mean that that we're not going to have police officers out at the schools at all.

[39:28] >> I doubt that in fact in fact we have a process in place in to get a ticket by a police officer and also got a ticket by one of my cameras.

[39:34] The driver would have to fill out an affidavit.

[39:40] Send it to us along the copy, the ticket.

[39:41] Their tickets take priority over ours we would dismiss ours they're getting points and a lot more expensive ticket with them than they are with us so they're not going to be happy about that one right.

[39:50] But we have process not only for that we have process, let's say someone's car got stolen and the cars fly.

[39:57] Affidavit give us the police report on it was stolen dismissed the ticket so we're very.

[40:01] You know we're very open understanding when it comes to those kind of scenarios.

[40:05] But it does fall on the violator on the registered owner.

[40:08] Because you know

[40:12] It's someone's car, but they left it to their mother law then they got a snitch.

[40:15] The mother lout if they don't want to pay it.

[40:19] So they can but then we'll be sending that person the violation.

[40:24] >> That's good I feel more comfortable having a police presence there Zach for having for reasons like you already had a few minutes James, and yes that you cannot replace that that that is one of fantastic that sense of of you know just just

[40:43] having them there that presence is invaluable because you know my son just to pull the camera on it.

[40:49] >> Serves a purpose, one more question.

[40:50] I'm when you said it has to be approved possibly an a tobar when would roll out be would it be this school year or is that some and that takes time and it would be next to where we were talking about that so.

[41:02] >> If it gets approved.

[41:03] The call when you think it would get approved >> Right now we're looking at an October 8th contract approval, and if so we're looking maybe 60 to 90 days out from the issuance of the permit so ideally if that's January we start the 30 day warning

[41:21] period.

[41:21] I mean that's kind of roughly it if we can get it in for the school year.

[41:23] Yeah, I would love to try to get it.

[41:25] >> Well you know when they get back from winter break.

[41:29] That would be ideal.

[41:30] We do have to do a 30 day by law 30 day warning period.

[41:33] So people get warnings in the mail.

[41:35] If they get caught and then after that 30 days it will go live.

[41:40] And that 30 days also is a good opportunity for us to to tweak the cameras that you know because this technology so sometimes the lasers pointing somewhere words capturing 2 lanes and not one light so we use that time period.

[41:53] Fix all those those issues.

[41:56] I've got I've got.

[41:57] South Miami city 24th, South Miami goes live tomorrow and pine Crest goes life.

[42:03] The 30th.

[42:03] With their systems they've already gone through their 30 day warning periods.

[42:10] >> To that Sir you do I can you can you tell I enjoy what I do now you have it's important work it is I want to thank you so do we have to many saying this is just informative for a store okay great if we could if we go to the council meeting

[42:23] and say hey we want this is that a good thing or so that your your committee that matter.

[42:29] >> I'm only we're going back to my time in Miami Beach they can't make a motion to support this conceptually to there to the council do they do that.

[42:38] >> A motion to I don't think there's a motion and I know you're welcome to do that.

[42:40] But it's not required for this item I did have one more question before we do that.

[42:49] >> okay so you did mention that.

[42:51] >> Requests can be made for I guess either a copy or or I guess proof of the violation in other words by the person that I guess got the citation but.

[43:02] You know can the principal of the school maker requests us for some kind of like what information of the archive

[43:14] >> I don't think of the footage they would be under public records law entitled to it

[43:21] That's a quick questions are asked a question before you know what gifts so when someone gets a violation they'll get a Web you know you get a link so where you can go to and you'll see that photo of the car, the tag, you know all the information

[43:29] of how fast they're going all that stuff right they don't get the video don't get the video.

[43:35] >> Yeah I think you did say that someone could request that and police can request a leased for okay if they needed for evidence purposes right and that would usually require a subpoena.

[43:46] >> Okay which we do we do all the time we get course we fulfill those on time but.

[43:49] Like I guess maybe not even for like speeding.

[43:52] Not even for like a speeding situation for some other kind of.

[43:58] >> You know off the wall, you know a good Julian things happen in this world and like the principal has to know OK who was driving this car met such and such.

[44:06] >> I know you're you're you're going to that you know you're getting really close to the ledge of that privacy issues right.

[44:12] You know every year.

[44:13] By law we're required to produce a millage is required to pass, but we do it for him a report that.

[44:20] >> Says how many violations that you know how many paid but there's no individual violator informational name address phone number car, none of that tough because of privacy concerns so I cannot imagine I have to ask but I just cannot imagine

[44:34] that principle would be able to say I want to know how fast you know the blue BMW with Florida tag blah blah blah blah was gone, we would not provide us we had a quarter.

[44:47] We would provide.

[44:49] To the Police Department if they're investigating something yeah absolutely we would.

[44:55] So that's a crime associated with that the particle that would have to go through the Police Department to do it.

[45:00] >> Okay, yeah I guess said was kind of like and where I was going with that is just you know wouldn't it.

[45:04] Police report have to be filed and then it would be OK to serve.

[45:09] >> Of because you know at least get the ark I feel that see just information so that's very very protected so even you know it's very different when I started almost 30 years ago today we meaning law enforcement you can't run a tag unless you

[45:23] have a specific reason as to why you're running a tag and when you run that tag you're putting it in the running its tackle that pull him over.

[45:30] the law long gone are the days where I did you know, I'd be driving and I just be like up to that in just running tags randomly you can't do that anymore.

[45:38] >> It's just against all kinds of sieges policies and protections.

[45:42] Has changed has it and 6 month >> And I would just imagine that the principals don't necessarily want that and put it.

[45:53] >> No no you know speaking of like you know a fun.

[45:55] >> A vendor a hit and run or something like that you know and in the person you're in the middle you're trying to drop your kid off and somebody taps you on the back but then does doesn't decide to pull over anything and they go off and then

[46:09] you're like OK.

[46:10] What do I do now do I go to the crossing guard duy khanh try to contact the school.

[46:14] Well you have all the time to call it is what

[46:19] saying so you know then if not on the run that's exactly do you know if you file a police report and everything like that than they would still be able to access.

[46:28] >> You know any archive for a win for great they would be able would they would be able to access it and but even look at it and you know download the clip we did it for their for their action investigation exactly they would be able to.

[46:38] But you would go to I would go to the principal for

[46:45] >> I'm excited excellent very excited.

[46:50] Fantastic.

[46:50] Thank you all for having the presentation may

[47:10] Would it be all right if we have come up and speak now, and you see

[47:58] You know while they're doing that I would I would I don't know we can't make a motion but I would I agree with Melissa, I'd love for the principals to be in the video I agree.

[48:07] >> I don't know if care is possible, but if we can have some principles be involved the video I think that would really make a

[48:21] >> Thank Good evening,

[48:25] share all all right and education committee and again in March and use your school board member saying to you thank you for all that you do for the school district of Palm Beach County and I joined the presentation, I mean really keeping our

[48:38] children safe means everything to all of us, especially the school district of Palm Beach County parents communities.

[48:45] This is gets good news and House bill 6.57 is a great deal.

[48:49] So I hope that we'll be hearing more from our communities to do this.

[48:54] But I want to bring you greetings from the superintendent in all of the school board members and we've had a wonderful start of this school year it has been absolutely fabulous I want to commend my administration out here the central region

[49:07] you are awesome making it happen, but it really starts in this school center with all of our wonderful teachers and principals and leaders right here in the village of Wellington our school district is an a rated school district again was so

[49:19] excited and it's all because of us working together to make our schools grade and we are your best choice with in Palm Beach County school district.

[49:30] So I do bring you greetings from all school board members and the superintendent we are truly happy that we have again and I want to tell you the a rating comes from all of us working together.

[49:40] You know we have to have a penny sales tax that's on the ballot.

[49:45] But I think you all for passing the penny sales years ago is getting ready the sunset and we have to keep our schools really safe we're talking about safety on the road that we're talking about safety in general when we think about Palm Beach

[50:01] County.

[50:01] You know we had a real bad situation in Georgia

[50:06] we live us we lost employees we lost students and a lot of us people were injured because of a safety issue someone doing something bad within our schools and I looked at them using the Saint teacher.

[50:21] Pay but that's something when you pass that penny sales tax we have the money to get this within our school district all of our schools have at least one police officer sometimes too depending on the size of the school.

[50:36] So when we think about investing.

[50:37] We here in Palm Beach County have done the investments I like the idea of talking to the superintendent and getting that money right back to Wellington so I will be out is taking some copious notes so I could share with him because it really

[50:52] is all about working with him.

[50:54] Our district within our village in helping our children so we're hoping that you remember us in November, when we think about the half since we're talking about security is a big piece upgraded that facility is making sure after so it is a great

[51:09] have buses.

[51:09] We have many many buses on the road every single day and to keep the best buses that are in shape.

[51:14] That's going to keep our children safe that money goes toward that a maintenance buildings facilities Tech knowledge e everything has to do with technology.

[51:24] So when we think about that ballot initiative all of that comes into that penny sales tax that you did before and that one cent just keeps us moving starting January 2026 all the way too.

[51:40] 2035, so you know you gotta keep it going for long time so that is truly important but we're pretty excited that our principles are in place we haven't had much change here in the village of Wellington and I think the region will tell you that

[51:57] we love keeping our teachers and principals and taking care of our children making sure that they're safe.

[52:02] They're happy and they loved going to school every day sometimes in Mason.

[52:07] >> 1, 1, of the school money yes, they do want to go to school every day because school.

[52:12] >> Is a wonderful place for education uplifting as well as making sure they feel well mental health is a big issue, it's still a bit case you think about the pandemic and it's gone.

[52:23] But a lot of still suffering there's a lot of unfinished learning that we're still working on so when we think about all the things that we need to do it takes all of you sitting here it takes us listening to you.

[52:35] It takes all of the schools doing great things every day not leaving any children back and so it gives me pleasure always to tell you thank you, I'm waiting on the keys finale grants that's coming up and up principles of putting that money to

[52:47] good use to take care of all of our children so I don't know if you have any specific questions from am always here for you.

[52:58] Any questions.

[52:59] >> I do have one quick question.

[53:04] Yes.

[53:05] Still on track to open this fall or.

[53:06] Yes, this coming

[53:12] ?

[53:13] And will that be

[53:17] >> Require any redistricting that was going to affect any of the Wellington students that we know of right now.

[53:23] >> Well it will always be some redistricting any time we open a new school we have to open up that hole process and so that whole process will open now you know you have pretty close to about 600 children sitting right there things far it's

[53:38] been overcrowded.

[53:38] So long so many cars coming in there because they're coming from everywhere not just here in the village with that programs that take place at beings.

[53:48] But then just from the community right down the street at the out there and they're coming in here.

[53:54] So yes it's going to be redistrict and so we're going to look at what we have to do you do.

[53:57] >> That process will start.

[54:00] Yeah we'll probably start.

[54:02] >> Probably near I'm thinking after the new year you do have your new principal, Dunmore Ross, I don't know if you don't know her.

[54:13] Yes she's awesome she was the principal at Everglades elementary school which is really not too far from here one of our neighboring schools and she actually opened Everglades so she's actually opening this art into school hasn't been named

[54:27] yet is just sitting in the area of the development called are done but that's something that has to be dad.

[54:34] The district will be working on the planning and redistricting of students and looking at who will go there and so we're moving right on we have another school coming up in Westlake in the next few and another high school out here off of North

[54:47] Lake so the whole place is exploding.

[54:48] What new schools, but anytime a new school is opening.

[54:52] We will be looking at that process.

[54:57] How are the discussions going with changing the school times.

[55:02] Well we've been going all over the county you've had one right here in Wellington and actually they routed glades central line they're going to fire a seal but you're in that is what's important we don't make the decisions within the school

[55:16] district of Palm Beach County.

[55:16] Unless we listen to the community.

[55:19] The parents and so it is legislation that's out and we know what the plan that we would like but your voices will help the school board decide which way to go now we would hope that you know that the Legislature might say whoa we don't want

[55:31] to do this is going to really be a big deal with blessing and logistics so we don't know exactly what they're going to do but if they don't do anything we have to be proactive and get the voices of the community so we're hearing a lot of different

[55:46] voices about what they would like and so will come together and make some decisions.

[55:54] >> One is that decision going to visit scheduled for the 2026 is

[55:59] one the.

[55:59] >> Of change.

[56:00] Yes, yes, yes, and this is why we're working closely right now and the probably the superintendent is going out in the field and they've had so much and put online and and so once they put all that tabulation at data together then they will

[56:14] be another discussion and then it'll probably end up going to the superintendent which will make a recommendation to the entire school board.

[56:24] That's a big deal to me a big deal and so is that what year is this mission is coming but the Legislature will get back in session too so we don't know what they want to do this is what they want said they wanted these high school kids to get

[56:37] a little bit more sleep, you know and we're talking about busing in all of the buses that we have and it's a state of Florida, not just Palm Beach County.

[56:46] So it's impacting everywhere so we have to logistically look and see how to do that do it.

[56:50] Well and make sure that we hear the voices of the parents and the communities before the school district makes a final

[1:12:33] I got excited every time you do a presentation.

[1:12:36] What we

[1:12:40] amazing stuff and you know, I'm so proud of the work that's being done at the village of Wellington schools are administrative teams or teachers or students.

[1:12:47] They work so hard and our parents, you know it doesn't.

[1:12:51] It when you say takes a village it really does but it's at parent partnership with our schools and and it's just it's it's the perfect next right and so I think that that's why our schools in the village work

[1:13:04] well together and and and why their students perform so well.

[1:13:08] So that's you know kudos to you as a village.

[1:13:13] >> And thank you to all of you who educate our children, thank you to all of you who educate our children.

[1:13:17] >> Yes, yes, all right.

[1:13:20] Thank you,

[1:13:27] >> Big it to ready to get back on track.

[1:13:33] That with the presentation by the palm Beach County Sheriff's Office on traffic at Wellington schools.

[1:13:38] >> It's good evening.

[1:13:40] Deputies lights with the village of Wellington district 8 traffic unit.

[1:13:46] I'm here to give you a small report started the joy center guards, he apologize he couldn't come.

[1:13:51] But at the start of school year the village of Wellington provides.

[1:13:55] 2 weeks where we have 13 designated deputies which is a lot.

[1:14:01] That's more than any other municipality can provide at all.

[1:14:04] And what we do is we provide to 2 at bare minimum to deputies per school during school hours or I'm sorry during school zones at the beginning today at the end of the day.

[1:14:15] And we were there for the first 2 weeks for high visibility patrols and things of that nature just to make sure the kids fell couple, parents feel comfortable.

[1:14:25] Given everything going on in the world.

[1:14:26] And we've now moved on to what are commanders calling maintenance phase.

[1:14:30] At which point we're now doing enforcement.

[1:14:36] Choosing random schools.

[1:14:36] We do have a schedule I shouldn't say rain and we have a schedule.

[1:14:40] Where we are going to different schools and different times different days so that we're not giving one school more tension than any other.

[1:14:49] Our numbers have been cut down a little bit.

[1:14:54] Given the issues with the world that the share his office and asked to provide.

[1:15:02] But that is the basic gist of hear more to answer questions as far as I can answer the questions without it being above my

[1:15:10] that so any any questions you guys have for me that I can answer I'd be happy to do so.

[1:15:16] >> I have a question of to visibility issues so if we concerns in an area where we're driving and it's not just schools.

[1:15:22] But it just happens to be a school where it's hard to see maybe kids coming on a sidewalk or those types of things and we've had some near misses who do we report that to you and how do we get that.

[1:15:36] >> So so you're asking so much as a an issue of like say there's a shrub in the way and you can see kids point out that would be a village issue okay.

[1:15:42] I would contact the village may be missed coats would be a good idea for that one and she can relate down the proper channels whether it becomes a safety issue and then it could come to us because we work with his coat on a routine basis think

[1:15:58] so.

[1:15:58] >> Is there anything being done to cut back on like the eagle discharge is specifically at like Wellington high school just the dangerous situation in the morning.

[1:16:10] >> Absolutely we have our motorman because those are the guys that can get in and out the easiest it's hard for me, I'm a big truck given the

[1:16:17] I'm in.

[1:16:17] But they go out and they have a big issue down a flick Wall Street and the back roads back there and they're offloading in people's driveways they're blocking people's personal residences which is a no-go and they're out there, they're out there

[1:16:30] as best as I can and again.

[1:16:33] We do apologize.

[1:16:33] The

[1:16:38] With the you know the former president has pulled a couple of us out.

[1:16:45] >> There was a planned there still is a plan we do hit it as hard as we can.

[1:16:49] People don't seem.

[1:16:55] As much as we write.

[1:16:58] We have people that pull up as we write the citations and the run-up grab their kid leaf.

[1:17:04] Knowing that we're sitting there conducting a traffic stop for offloading passengers on a roadway.

[1:17:08] They'd know that this time they're not getting caught.

[1:17:13] DOE run up grab their kid in leaf and just hope and pray that we're not there.

[1:17:16] The next day and if they are they just drive up a little bit off the road pull off the next Road and do it again.

[1:17:19] We can only be in one place at one time unfortunately, but we do try best.

[1:17:27] >> What would be us.

[1:17:29] And idea for a solution that's a hard one isn't it because you can't police everyone all the time.

[1:17:37] >> The solutions.

[1:17:37] >> That we believe would help specifically say Wellington high school.

[1:17:43] They have access to a back area and that's been discussed at length between our command, the school board school itself.

[1:17:50] If you could get more people off of the roadway and onto school property.

[1:17:56] I think that would cut down all of the people waiting in line blocking that Lane on Greenview shores.

[1:18:02] All of the offloading you don't have to wait is long and remove people from you know the neighborhoods people personal residences blocking driveways blocking sidewalks people can't get in or out going to or from work.

[1:18:17] That is something that again the command and the schools all have to come together and.

[1:18:24] >> It is shocking my kids with Comedy Central so that entrance and exit was rather easy flow.

[1:18:32] And recently I had to pick someone up from Arlington high school and I have picked anybody from high school in a very long time, but I was flabbergasted that back.

[1:18:43] >> I how that worked Wellington stuff I will say that central has done a good job they've listen to a couple concerns not only from us but from parents and the civilians and I think they're actually adding a second entrance.

[1:18:56] If I if I remember correctly don't quote me.

[1:19:00] But they are at least listening to everybody and they're doing their best to mitigate this the issues out on the roadway.

[1:19:07] >> And they don't have all the houses and harassing >> It is a lot more dangerous out there yet because of the higher speeds off forest Hill.

[1:19:15] lot of that is just the design issue and the timing yet and the right there was not a yes I didn't want.

[1:19:24] >> Blame it on willing mentioned that I do recognize that it's the new high school student more debt, yes, yeah, yeah, and so that's yeah, it's a.

[1:19:34] >> It's a problem I I know the schools high schools working with the principal can address it with parents and things like that, but ultimately you know parents are and kids have to make those decisions you can leave them the water you can't

[1:19:48] force them to dry exactly I know it's I know it's always been an issue all the all the principles of always said that they they raise it with the parents, you know parents are you know concerned, but yeah there also yeah, more concerned about

[1:19:59] getting in and out quickly that's yeah fortunately wants to weigh in exactly.

[1:20:04] >> I wonder though if if I don't know if the schools at capacity or a totally

[1:20:12] Okay so if they weren't at capacity it might inspire some action because I think that they're well I know because I'm one of them I may or may not decide to send my children to Wellington high school based on those safety concerns and I think

[1:20:24] that there's of the parents to that talked about it that it's.

[1:20:28] You know you you want to send your kid to the safest place and it starts with that even getting them there safely.

[1:20:33] So yeah I think that is something to consider with the talk about Alec out how to encourage trafficker open flow or fix it because it, you know people like me are going well.

[1:20:46] Where should I send my kids to make sure that they're safe.

[1:20:51] >> I mean my kids are young, but they do all that and Wellington schools able to come on to school so I get it I see it I hope and pray that somewhere along the line that gets mitigated by the time they get there.

[1:21:02] >> But.

[1:21:02] >> I would suggest maybe speaking to the principal and speaking to the school board about it because we can enforce.

[1:21:06] We can't force them to do anything.

[1:21:12] We can only enforce the things that are provided to us so when it comes down to that current and then the in the neighborhoods and things like that.

[1:21:22] We're more than happy to do enforcement there we put signage up every year to make sure that everybody knows during that initial 2 weeks.

[1:21:28] We try to provide people give warnings you will be as lenient as humanly possible and then again when we go in and conduct actual enforcement citations and.

[1:21:39] You can only catch so many at a time if and quick I can do one in 5 minutes.

[1:21:45] Like I said you then you'll get 15 other people hope and pray that I don't finish by the time they get up and get their can leave.

[1:21:52] >> I think maybe you know the consideration for these parents should also be that the safety of their children's lives mean I'm I'm creeping through their driving just maybe trying to get by the high school.

[1:22:00] I'm going sometimes just 5 1000 hour and I'm having to stop for kids.

[1:22:04] And the middle of the street.

[1:22:08] Regularly so it just is it scary for the kids.

[1:22:12] Because they're just their children even though they're young adults are still chilled and correct they're not thinking like adults, you know, it's the parents and the adults jobs to really kind of.

[1:22:24] Keep in mind so that thank you thank you for your help there, I know it's hard it was tough situation.

[1:22:26] So you're saying

[1:22:32] >> People are I guess the driver will drop off their high schooler on that the side of being the shorts have been there.

[1:22:39] >> Crossing they just might stop right there on the road or maybe in the middle lane.

[1:22:42] We did this.

[1:22:42] I apologize over they drop them off everywhere everywhere, so they'll drop.

[1:22:49] >> I mean unfortunately we have to concede that right lane to them.

[1:22:52] We can't force.

[1:22:55] 200 people off of the road right right and forced them into the school in the schools, not prepared for it.

[1:23:01] >> But we don't let them offload we don't let them load in the afternoons if we catch them we can we can address it.

[1:23:10] However.

[1:23:10] You know it's only 1, 1, dot and Cary is if you have a suggestion

[1:23:20] >> Okay we're team.

[1:23:23] Specific to Wellington high school.

[1:23:27] It's been about 2 years that we have worked on this diligently in partnership with the sheriff's office right.

[1:23:34] >> And in partnership with our school district folks this well with school police to be able to mitigate as much as we could what we noticed and all really started with the new facilities with a new facilities open and the shift the change of

[1:23:47] where the in

[1:23:50] out was and then the light and then everything just kind of became a perfect storm, but I'm gonna tell you that the willingness, I know MS.

[1:23:57] Andrews is even there are mornings, you know checking to see incoming and outgoing traffic.

[1:24:03] The willingness of our school administration and Wellington high school to even hey Steph extra hours to to open the gates as early as 6 45 am which is very unusual other high schools really don't do that Wellington high school does they have

[1:24:19] gone above and beyond to be able to find solutions and ways because of the mere layout like you mentioned the layup on the scent you can't compare the layout is completely different but the layout of Wellington high school.

[1:24:35] It is a challenge right and then you have parent behavior so for us it was more about targeting and working through our parents, it's it's all.

[1:24:45] Nnadi pan parent behavior.

[1:24:46] There's no other way to put it, you know a student is going to do students gonna do we try with between that the dads that are they're volunteering crossing.

[1:24:57] Kids because we don't you know have crossing guards for high school students.

[1:25:01] But you know there are all these different strategies that they put in place even with parental support.

[1:25:08] With crossing guards and what not to be able to help the situation.

[1:25:11] But at the end of the day it is not going to get better until the parent behavior changes and when the parent is telling a student get in the car it get in the car, you know this child's gonna listen and you're right or young adults, even 1716,

[1:25:25] whatever 15 years old.

[1:25:26] They're going to listen to you know jumping into the car the running have an apparent weight.

[1:25:32] It really is all about parent behavior and I know that they're doing their best.

[1:25:36] Out on the street to make sure that there.

[1:25:42] Reducing or eliminating those type of really illegal right they're not supposed to drop off or jumped they are a load or unload and moving traffic but.

[1:25:53] But it's still going to take work it's not going to get better and to the parent behavior changes.

[1:25:57] And that's just at you know and we do work with their students in school too and letting them know with the safety expectations are of them.

[1:26:06] They do not supposed to jaywalk I mean that's just illegal right so our schools still work with their students agree my name and reminding them of that but kids will be kids sometimes and it's not okay, but it does happen.

[1:26:18] I go back to saying it goes back to the adult behavior and if our adults model for the students, the right way as parents then the students we'll be doing what's best for them and staying safe right so one of the things with that we had asked

[1:26:34] for is SP essays village has done a beautiful job at creating developing in actually showing this P 8 p essays and reminding our parents of the expectations.

[1:26:48] We as a school center we still send notification out communication out to the parents reminding them of that and we can certainly put that back in place we will remind the parents again we're seeing an uptick of illegal drop-off and pick-up

[1:33:41] lights thing sees everything that's that's been going through and all the great things that you have the village of Wellington does but the school district as a whole and set it on to just thank everybody there.

[1:33:51] And then just for our own benefit.

[1:33:54] I think the we want to just kind of keep on top of the school rezoning and redistricting is that process goes through the new one called art and the West acreage 15 the school.

[1:34:06] You know because that that will we know past rezoning you know there's there's probably going to be some movement among Wellington parents if not you know out to that school at least within their own schools and so we want to make sure there's

[1:34:21] a kind of a minimal that cause that's all it's raised some hackles so and to the the new members welcome it's a pleasure to meet you think.

[1:34:32] >> I just want to give kudos to James he's a rock star Lake your e-mails are sold on tap reminders everything and just a recommendation of from us last time when we asked for videos for for everyone for for traffic and stuff and you know Wellington

[1:36:19] goes, according to our idea right that it passes and and and just you know my concerns with continuing to get the pick parents on board and following the rules and I know I mean I'm a parent of 4 so I know that it's sometimes you're in a crunch,

[1:37:10] that's wonderful.
