[00:00:02]

I WOULD LIKE TO CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER.

[Call to Order]

THERE YOU GO.

I WOULD LIKE TO CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER WHILE YOU ALL PLEASE RISE AND JOIN ME IN THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

AND FINALLY, THE NATION, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

HELLO. WELL, THE AGENDA COORDINATOR.

PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

MAYOR REED? YEAH.

VICE MAYOR LITT HERE.

COUNCIL MEMBER WOODS HERE, MA'AM.

COUNCIL MEMBER MARCIANO.

COUNCIL MEMBER. TINSLEY HERE.

ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONS, DELETIONS THAT ARE MODIFICATIONS TO THIS EVENING TO THE AGENDA? NO, MA'AM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NEXT, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ANNOUNCEMENTS AND PRESENTATIONS.

[IV. ANNOUNCEMENTS / PRESENTATIONS]

AND CANDACE IS GOING TO START US OFF.

ACTUALLY NOEL AND HIS EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBERS, WHOEVER IS PRESENT.

GOOD EVENING. TONIGHT, I HAVE THE HONOR OF SHINING THE SPOTLIGHT ON THE VERY SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP THAT OUR CITY SHARES WITH THE PALM BEACH NORTH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. NOT ALL CITIES HAVE A CHAMBER, BUT THEY SHOULD.

IN OUR COMMUNITY, THE CHAMBER HAS GROWN TO BE SO MUCH MORE THAN A MERE BUSINESS DIRECTORY OR A PLACE FOR NETWORKING.

IN ADDITION TO FIERCELY SUPPORTING OUR SMALL BUSINESSES AND PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR EDUCATION AND CONNECTION, THE PALM BEACH NORTH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN RECENT YEARS HAS MADE IT THEIR GOAL TO BE AN OUTSTANDING PARTNER TO CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS.

HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE WAYS OUR CHAMBER HAS AND CONTINUES TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE THROUGH FACILITATING RELATIONSHIPS WITH LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS.

PALM BEACH NORTH HAS LED EFFORTS TO PREPARE OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY FOR MAJOR CRISIS EVENTS THROUGH THE DISASTER RESILIENCY ACTION PLAN.

THEY CONTINUE TO ENSURE OUR CITY'S VOICE IS HEARD BY INVOLVING US ON PLANNING, IN PLANNING THROUGH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE, SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE AND GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS COMMITTEE.

DURING THE COVID 19 CRISIS, PALM BEACH NORTH WAS BY OUR SIDE TO ASSIST WITH PLANNING AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE SMALL BUSINESS RELIEF FUND.

YES, THE CITY PROVIDED THE FUNDING.

HOWEVER, THE CHAMBER PROVIDED INVALUABLE INPUT TO US ON CUTTING THROUGH THE RED TAPE TO GET OUR BUSINESSES THE HELP THEY TRULY NEEDED TO STAY AFLOAT.

IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, WITH THE MARDI GRAS FINE ARTS FESTIVAL, PALM BEACH NORTH HAS BROUGHT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TO PALM BEACH GARDENS AND BOOSTED OUR LOCAL ECONOMY BY THE MILLIONS.

RECOGNIZING THAT OUR DISTRICT PARK WAS A MODEL SITE FOR THE EVENT, THEY HAVE BEEN THE MOST GRACIOUS PARTNERS IN EVENT PLANNING AND EXECUTION.

MOST RECENTLY, THE CHAMBER ADVOCATED FOR THE CITY WHEN WE COULD NOT DO SO OURSELVES.

THE TAX ABATEMENT REFERENDUM AND EXCUSE ME, WAS A CRITICAL BALLOT INITIATIVE THAT WE USE TO FOSTER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

THE CHAMBER AND ITS EXECUTIVE BOARD UNDERSTOOD WHY THIS TOOL WAS NEEDED, GAVE US THEIR VOTE OF CONFIDENCE PUBLICLY AND LED COMMUNICATION EFFORTS TO GET THE WORD OUT.

WITH THEIR HELP, THANKFULLY, THE REFERENDUM PASSED.

AND NOW A BRIEF WORD ABOUT THEIR FEARLESS LEADER, NOEL MARTINEZ.

NOEL'S LEADERSHIP AS PRESIDENT AND CEO HAS BEEN ENLIGHTENING.

HE'S A VISIONARY WHO SEES SO WELL HOW ALL THE PARTS FIT TOGETHER.

HE HAS MADE BOLD STRIDES IN THE AREA OF DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION THROUGH BOTH BREAKFAST MEETING TOPICS, MARDI GRAS ARTISTS, AND IS ATTRACTING YOUNGER PEOPLE AND THOSE OF DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS TO ENGAGE.

NOEL I KNOW IT HAS NOT BEEN EASY TO SHAKE THINGS UP, BUT WE ARE SO GLAD YOU HAVE FOR THESE REASONS AND MANY MORE.

WE WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT THE PALM BEACH NORTH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WITH A TOKEN OF OUR APPRECIATION FROM ALL OF US AT THE CITY.

WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU.

[00:05:04]

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A BREAK.

WE'LL BE WE WILL BE PRESENTING THIS PLAQUE AND I'LL JUST READ WHAT IT SAYS.

THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS PRESENTS THIS AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING PARTNERSHIP TO PALM BEACH, NORTH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, IN APPRECIATION FOR THE OUTSTANDING DEDICATION AND SUPPORT TO THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS.

FROM CITY COUNCIL, CITY MANAGER AND STAFF AWARDED THIS THIRD DAY OF NOVEMBER 2022.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. FIRST, I'M GOING TO GO BACK. OKAY.

I FIGURED OUT.

AND THEY'RE JUST SAYING, WELL, IF YOU WANT MY SPEECH, IT'S NOT OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

IT'S A PLEASURE. NO, NO, I HAVE IT.

YOU HAVE IT SAVED SOMEWHERE, RIGHT? I DON'T KNOW.

PLEASE INDULGE ME IN THINKING OUR STAFF.

THANK YOU, CANDICE, FOR THOSE BEAUTIFUL WORDS.

WELL DESERVED, YOU GUYS.

THANK YOU TO OUR CITY MANAGER, ATTORNEY, AND ESPECIALLY TO OUR CLERK STAFF FOR PUTTING TOGETHER SUCH A BEAUTIFUL.

THANK YOU, LILY, FOR PROTECTING IT WITH YOUR LIFE.

UNTIL WE CAN GET TO THIS TONIGHT.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

THANK YOU ALL. SO NEXT, WE HAVE OUR PARTNERSHIP PRESENTATION FROM THE PALM BEACH COUNTY SPORTS COMMISSION AND CRAZY SPORTS PERFORMANCE.

COULD WE PLEASE HAVE CHARLOTTE PARAZYNSKI, OUR LEISURE SERVICE ADMINISTRATOR, COME TO THE PODIUM? AND GOOD EVENING, COUNSEL.

THANK YOU. HERE TONIGHT TO HAVE TWO PRESENTATIONS OF GREAT PARTNERS OF THE CITY.

BEFORE WE BEGIN THAT AND I'M UP HERE TALKING, BUT I REALLY WANT TO THROW KUDOS TO DAN PRIETO, WHO'S OUR DEPUTY LEISURE SERVICES ADMINISTRATOR.

HE IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE ECONOMIC OF SPORT.

AND HIS STAFF, INCLUDING TIM FORD, HAVE REALLY FOSTERED THESE PARTNERSHIPS AND THEY'RE THE ONES WHO ARE BOOTS ON THE GROUND MAKING ALL OF THIS HAPPEN.

SO THE THINGS THAT YOU HEAR TONIGHT, YOU KNOW, HAVE BEEN ENABLED THROUGH YOUR WORK, THROUGH MR. FERRIS WORK AND ADMINISTRATION.

BUT THEY'RE TRULY THE GENTLEMEN THAT GET THINGS DONE DAY IN AND DAY OUT.

AND I'D BE REMISS WITHOUT THANKING COREY WILDER ALSO FOR MAINTAINING EXCELLENT FACILITIES THAT HELP FACILITATE THE ECONOMIC OF SPORT.

SO THE THE FIRST TEAM I'D LIKE TO CALL UP IS CRESSEY SPORTS, IF YOU CAN JOIN ME.

ERIC CRESSY, HIS WIFE ANNA AND SHANE RAY ARE THE PROPRIETORS OF CRESSY SPORT, AND THEY'RE GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU TONIGHT THEIR ECONOMIC IMPACT REPORT.

IT IS REQUIRED BY THEIR AGREEMENT WITH US, BUT WE WANTED TO BRING IT TO YOU TONIGHT BECAUSE IT'S AN AMAZING STATEMENT FOR HOW WE'RE POSITIONING SPORT IN OUR COMMUNITY. SO COME ON UP.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MADAM MAYOR, AND COUNCIL, FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT IN FOR THE THE WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY BEFORE US TO WORK WITH THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS. I THINK I CAN SPEAK FOR SHANE AND ANNA AND THE REST OF OUR TEAM THAT GOING INTO THIS THERE WASN'T A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PRECEDENT FOR P THREE AGREEMENTS, YOU KNOW, IN OUR REALM.

I KNOW IT HAPPENED AROUND THE STATE OF FLORIDA, SO WE WERE KIND OF FEELING IT OUT AS WE WENT INTO IT.

AND I THINK WHAT WE REALLY QUICKLY REALIZED WAS THAT IT WAS NOT JUST A PARTNERSHIP, BUT IT WAS A COLLECTION OF RELATIONSHIPS WITH WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY DEVOTED TO A COMMON GOAL WITH US. AND WE COULDN'T BE MORE APPRECIATIVE.

CHARLOTTE, THANKS. MANY OF THOSE FOLKS.

AND CAMERON WAS THERE FROM DAY ONE WITH WITH DOING WONDERFUL PAPERWORK AND TALKING TO THE JEWS.

MR. LOWMAN AS WELL, FOR FOR MANY OF HIS HIS INSIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO WORKING THROUGH CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS, JUST SO MANY WONDERFUL PEOPLE HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS THAT THAT BROUGHT US TO THIS DAY.

WHAT WAS VERY INTERESTING ABOUT THIS RELATIONSHIP IS OUR OUR FIRST DAY IN THE FACILITY WAS DECEMBER 27, 2019.

WE MOVED IN WITH SEVERAL DOZEN PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL PLAYERS WHO WERE ANXIOUS TO TRAIN WHILE THE PAINT WAS STILL DRYING IN THE FACILITY.

[00:10:02]

SO IN THAT MOMENT, WE REALIZED THAT WE DID HAVE A WONDERFUL PARTNERSHIP BECAUSE FOLKS LIKE DAVID REYES AT THE OPERATIONS BUILDING AND DANIEL PRIETO AND CHARLOTTE HELPING WITH FIELD ACCESS ALLOWED US TO TO REALLY NAVIGATE COVID AT A TIME WHERE A LOT OF GYMS AROUND THE COUNTRY WEREN'T GETTING MUCH DIRECTION.

SO WE'RE INCREDIBLY APPRECIATIVE.

AND REALLY THAT LED US TO NOW AND JUST WHEN WE THOUGHT WE WERE GETTING A LITTLE SEMBLANCE OF NORMALCY IN THE BASEBALL WORLD, MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL'S OWNERS LOCKED OUT THEIR PLAYERS BACK ON DECEMBER 1ST THIS PAST YEAR.

SO IT THREW US ANOTHER CURVEBALL.

AND AS OF THIS SPRING, WE ACTUALLY HAD 10% OF ALL MAJOR LEAGUE PLAYERS WORKING OUT HERE IN PALM BEACH GARDENS WITH US.

SO THE CULMINATION OF THAT IS TONIGHT, BOTH STARTING PITCHERS IN THE WORLD SERIES GAME THIS EVENING.

NOAH SYNDERGAARD AND JUSTIN VERLANDER BOTH DID THEIR REHABILITATION FROM ELBOW SURGERIES AT THIS FACILITY AND TRAIN THERE.

THEY BOTH RELOCATED TO THIS AREA FOR THE TRAINING.

SO IT'S A YOU KNOW, IT REALLY IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CELEBRATE HOW WONDERFUL THIS COMMUNITY HAS BEEN TO US AND HOW APPRECIATIVE WE ARE OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES.

SO THAT SAID, SOME OF THE NUTS AND BOLTS, THE ACTUAL NUMBERS OF IT, WE SAW 170 PLAYERS FROM MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL ORGANIZATIONS THAT VISITED KSP FLORIDA AND THE DESIGNATED PERIOD. OUR PERIOD IS MAY 31ST OF ONE YEAR THROUGH THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

AT THAT POINT, 125 OR 74% OF THEM SPENT A MONTH OR LONGER IN THE AIR IN THE AREA.

73 MOVED HERE, 19 LIVE LOCALLY AND 33 COMMUTE TO PALM BEACH COUNTY FROM AS FAR NORTH AS PORT SAINT LUCIE AND DOWN BY MIAMI, WE SAW MANY THAT WERE SHORT TERM VISITS WHO STAYED AT LOCAL HOTELS AND RENTED CARS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

71% OF THESE HAVE MADE MAJOR LEAGUE DEBUTS, WHICH IS A BIG DEAL.

MAJOR LEAGUE SALARY MINIMUMS, A LITTLE OVER 700,000 NOW.

SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THESE PERCENTAGES, WE ESTIMATE THAT FACILITY BROUGHT AT LEAST 89 BASEBALL PLAYERS AND THEIR FAMILIES FROM THE TOP INCOME TAX BRACKET TO PALM BEACH COUNTY FOR AT LEAST ONE MONTH PER YEAR AND LIKELY MUCH MORE.

THIS DOESN'T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT A LOT OF INDEPENDENT BALL ATHLETES WHO AREN'T IN AFFILIATED BASEBALL WITH THE 30 TEAMS THAT COMPRISE MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL.

AND IT CERTAINLY DOESN'T SPEAK TO THE MANY, MANY COLLEGE PLAYERS THAT COME FROM AFAR, INDIVIDUALS WHO COME TO FIX A SHOULDER, WHATEVER IT MAY BE.

SO IT'S A IT'S A LITTLE BIT LIMITED IN THAT REGARD.

BUT WHAT WAS MOST INTERESTING ABOUT THIS SECOND YEAR'S ECONOMIC IMPACT REPORT WERE THE TRENDS THAT WE'RE SEEING IN OUR PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL CLIENTELE.

THEY'RE COMING AS SHORT TERM VISITS.

THEY'RE COMING FOR 2 TO 3 DAYS.

THE PAST FEW DAYS, WE HAD THE 2019 NATIONAL LEAGUE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR WHO IS IN TOWN, AND THEY FALL IN LOVE WITH THE AREA.

AND IN FACT, ONE OF THEM WAS LOOKING AT ZILLOW ON HIS RIDE TO THE AIRPORT AS HE LEFT YESTERDAY, ACCORDING TO HIS HIS BUDDY WHO WAS DRIVING HIM.

SO WHAT WE FOUND WERE A LOT OF THESE PLAYERS WHO WERE COMING TO THE AREA.

QUICKLY FALL IN LOVE, NOT JUST WITH THE AREA, BUT THE ABILITY TO DO EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE WHERE THEY CAN DO THEIR BASEBALL ACTIVITIES, DO THEIR REHABILITATION, GET MASSAGE THERAPY, DO THEIR TRAINING, CONDITIONING ALL THESE DIFFERENT PIECES TO THE PUZZLE.

SO AMONG THOSE PLAYERS, WE SAW SEVEN HOME SALES JUST AMONG OUR MAJOR LEAGUE CLIENTS IN THE PAST YEAR.

THOSE ARE JUST THE ONES THAT WE KNOW ABOUT.

SO WE'RE SEEING MORE AND MORE PEOPLE THAT ARE FALLING IN LOVE WITH IT IN SHORT VISITS AND THEN STAYING.

WE HAVE A COLLECTION OF DIFFERENT CATEGORIES FOR OUR ECONOMIC IMPACT.

I'VE JUST ALLUDED TO THE PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL SIDE OF THINGS.

THE COLLEGIATE LEAGUE OF THE PALM BEACHES IS SOMETHING THAT TAKES PLACE IN THE AREA THAT WAS CO-FOUNDED BY OUR BUSINESS PARTNER BRIAN KAPLAN, MANY, MANY YEARS AGO.

AND THAT BRINGS HUNDREDS OF PLAYERS TO THE AREA.

THEY ACTUALLY USE THE STADIUM FIELD ADJACENT TO THE FACILITY.

AND WE ALL SEE A NUMBER OF COLLEGE ATHLETES WHO MAY JUST MOVE HERE FOR THE TRAINING ONLY EVEN WITHOUT PLAYING IN THE LEAGUE.

MAYBE IT'S SOMEONE WHO HAD A SURGERY AND IS LOOKING TO REHABILITATE.

WE HAVE HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES LOCALLY.

WE HAVE EVERY DAY ADULT CLIENTS.

WE HAVE STRENGTH CAMPS THAT A LOT OF THE WIVES AND GIRLFRIENDS OF OUR MAJOR LEAGUE PLAYERS WILL PARTICIPATE IN EARLY IN THE DAY.

AND THEN WE ACTUALLY BECOME A VERY PROMINENT LOCATION FOR SCOUTING EVENTS WHERE JUSTIN VERLANDER OR COREY KLUBER, SOME OF THESE VERY HIGH PROFILE ATHLETES MAY HAVE THEIR AGENTS SET UP SCOUT DAYS, AND WE MAY SEE SCOUTS FROM ALL 30 TEAMS SHOW UP TO WATCH THEM THROW.

AND, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY JUSTIN VERLANDER WAS PAID $25 MILLION BASED ON THE RESULT OF THAT THAT BASICALLY SCOUTING EVENT THAT WE PUT ON.

SO WE HAVE A LARGE HITTING CLIENTELE, PITCHING CLIENTELE.

SHANE IS A VERY REGARDED MANUAL THERAPIST WHO ALSO WORKS WITH THE MIAMI DOLPHINS.

WE HAVE PHYSICAL THERAPISTS, THREE OF THEM ON STAFF.

WE'LL SEE OBSERVATIONAL GUESTS.

WE HAD FOUR TRAINERS FROM FROM JAPAN, A JAPANESE LEAGUE TEAM WHO CAME BY TO OBSERVE JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO.

AND CERTAINLY OUR STAFF HAS GROWN.

WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DEVELOP OUR INTERNSHIPS AND THERE'S BEEN DIRECT PERMITTING AND GROUNDLINGS FEES PAID TO THE TALENT.

SO THIS IS KIND OF WHERE ALL THE DIFFERENT ENTITIES COME TOGETHER, YOU KNOW.

MOREOVER, I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE EMPHASIZE THAT WE WANTED SO MUCH TO BE PART OF THIS COMMUNITY.

SO THINGS LIKE TRAINING THE FIREFIGHTER RECRUITS HAS BEEN JUST SOMETHING THAT OUR STAFF HAS ABSOLUTELY LOVED, JUST AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET MORE INVOLVED, INCLUDING WITH COACH EDUCATION. WE'RE ACTUALLY IN THE WORKS OF PLANNING A NIGHT WITH THE PROS THAT WE RUN FOR BASICALLY YOUNGER KIDS AND THEIR PARENTS TO GET DIRECTION ON COLLEGE RECRUITING AND HOW TO

[00:15:03]

SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE. WE ESTIMATED OUR TOTAL ECONOMIC IMPACT OVER THAT YEAR AT ABOUT $6.8 MILLION.

THERE ARE SOME LIMITATIONS TO THIS REPORT.

WE'RE STILL DETERMINING WHO ACTUALLY BOUGHT HOUSING HERE.

WHEN AN AGENT MEETS FIVE OF HIS PLAYERS HERE FOR FOR LUNCH, IT'S HARD TO KEEP TRACK OF JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY AND WHERE THEY GO.

WE WERE VERY APPRECIATIVE UPON THIS COUNTY SPORTS COMMISSION FOR PROVIDING SOME NUMBERS THAT WE COULD USE TO ACTUALLY DO THIS CALCULATION.

THIS IS UP FROM FROM LAST YEAR.

AND MORE SIGNIFICANTLY, I THINK TONIGHT IS A GOOD NIGHT TO HIGHLIGHT WHERE WE THINK WE'RE GOING, BECAUSE WE DO CONTINUE TO SEE AN UPWARD TRAJECTORY IN THIS REGARD.

ONE THING THAT HAS CHANGED IN THE PAST YEAR IS UNIONIZATION AMONG MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYERS, WHICH ACTUALLY MAY LIMIT FACILITY ACCESS FOR PLAYERS AND AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS. THERE'S DISCUSSIONS OF WHETHER THOSE PLAYERS WOULD NEED TO BE PAID IF THEY WERE VOLUNTARILY TRAINING AT THEIR COMPLEXES.

SO HERE WE HAVE FIVE SEPARATE TEAMS WHO HAVE COMPLEXES WITHIN 30 MINUTES.

SO THERE MAY ACTUALLY BE A SITUATION WHERE MINOR LEAGUE PLAYERS COULD ACTUALLY BE PUSHED TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR MORE, WHICH COULD DRIVE SOME MORE THINGS IN OUR REGARD.

WE'VE DONE SOME COLLABORATIVE EVENTS WITH JOHN CARNEY, WHO'S A RETIRED NFL KICKER WHO WORKS WITH A LOT OF SPECIALISTS, PUNTER'S KICKERS, LONG SNAPPERS.

SO THEY DID ONE EVENT EARLIER THIS YEAR.

THERE WAS A SMALLER ONE, AND THEN THEY ACTUALLY CAME BACK WITH MANY MORE BECAUSE THE GUYS WERE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR AN EAST COAST AFFILIATE.

WE'VE DONE SOME COLLABORATIVE EVENTS WITH TIME TO SIGN, WHICH IS A COLLEGE PLACEMENT COMPANY THAT EFFECTIVELY HELPS KIDS FIND PLACES TO TRAIN DURING GAP YEARS BEFORE THEY ENTER COLLEGE. SO THIS BRINGS A LOT OF KIDS WHO WANT TO GET BETTER AND WHO ARE GENERALLY VERY HIGH ACADEMIC KIDS TO THE AREA AND THEN MORE FREE AGENT SHOWCASES.

WE ARE SEEING MORE ONE YEAR CONTRACTS IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL.

SO MORE AND MORE PLAYERS ACTUALLY DO NEED TO DO THOSE KIND OF SHOWCASES.

OUR STAFF HAS GROWN STEADILY.

THEY INCREASE COST OF HOUSING.

CONSUMER GOODS DOES DRIVE UP THE ACTUAL ECONOMIC IMPACT.

WE ARE LOOKING TO BRING BACK MORE SEMINARS AT THE FACILITY NOW THAT THE WORLD IS A LITTLE BIT MORE OPEN.

AND CERTAINLY WE'VE HAD SOME PRELIMINARY DISCUSSIONS JUST ABOUT FACILITY EXPANSIONS IN OUR EXISTING KIND OF FOOTPRINT TO FIND WAYS TO PLACE OUR STAFF AND OFFICE SPACES AND MAYBE EVEN OFFER A LITTLE BIT MORE KNOW A LARGER SERVICE BASE TO OUR FOLKS HAVE AN EXPANDED ECONOMIC IMPACT.

SO I APPRECIATE THE TIME TO SPEAK TO YOU.

AND AGAIN, ABOVE ALL ELSE, WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THE COLLABORATIVE EFFORT THAT EVERYONE HAS PUT INTO THIS, AND I'M HAPPY TO TAKE QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY.

GREAT. ERIC, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

TRULY APPRECIATE IT. TRULY WORKING WITH THE CRESSY FAMILY HAS BEEN AN HONOR. THEY ARE SUPER COLLABORATIVE WITH OUR TEAM.

THEY ARE NOT DEMANDING THEIR COMPLETE PARTNERS IN EVERY SENSE, AS IS THE NEXT PERSON WE'RE GOING TO ASK TO COME UP PALM BEACH COUNTY SPORTS COMMISSION AND BEFORE GARDENS NORTH COUNTY DISTRICT PARK WAS BUILT, BROUGHT A LOT OF ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS TO US.

BUT SINCE GDB IS OPEN, WE'VE REALLY SEEN AN UPTICK IN THE PROGRAMS AND THE EVENTS THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO HOST ON THEIR BEHALF.

SO I'D LIKE TO ASK GEORGE LINDLEY TO COME UP TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE INSIGHT AS TO WHAT THEY DO.

AND I DO WANT TO THANK HIM AS HE'S WALKING UP.

HE ACTUALLY SUBMITTED THIS PRESENTATION TO THE FLORIDA RECREATION AND PARK ASSOCIATION FOR AN ECONOMIC SPORTS AWARD.

WE ACTUALLY LOST TO A COUNTY, BUT WE CAME IN A CLOSE SECOND.

SO WE APPRECIATE HIS SUPPORT ON THAT.

BUT. GEORGE LINTON THANK YOU, CHARLOTTE.

IT IS IT IS A GREAT HONOR TO BE HERE.

THANK YOU, MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY MANAGER RON FERRIS.

I AM PRIVILEGED TO BE A RESIDENT, SO IT'S EXTRA SPECIAL THAT I'M HERE GIVING THIS PRESENTATION.

BUT YOU TRULY ARE ONE OF OUR GREATEST PARTNERS.

MY COLLEAGUE SCOTT GLINSKI IS HERE.

HE HE PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO THE PRESENTATION THAT WE SUBMITTED TO THE FLORIDA SPORTS FOUNDATION AND THE FLORIDA PARKS AND RECREATION ASSOCIATION.

WE TRULY BELIEVE YOU HAVE ONE OF FLORIDA'S FINEST PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT AND DEPARTMENTS, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT.

AND HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR WE WILL WIN AND GO FROM NUMBER TWO TO NUMBER ONE.

CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS IS A LEADER IN TERMS OF SPORTS EVENTS AND TOURISM.

YOU KNOW THAT SPORTS IS PART OF YOUR DNA.

IT'S PART OF YOUR FABRIC.

YOU'RE A LEADER FROM A LOCAL SPORTS COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVE, FROM YOUTH SPORT PARTICIPATION, FROM RECREATIONAL SPORTS.

BUT YOU'RE ALSO A LEADER IN EVENTS FROM A STATEWIDE, REGIONAL, NATIONAL AND GLOBAL LEVEL.

THE CITY OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS HAS TRULY BEEN ONE OF OUR GREATEST PARTNERS, AND WE'RE VERY, VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THE PARTNERSHIP AND THE FRIENDSHIP THAT YOU HAVE OFFERED US. THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT THE CITY, ITS PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT, GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND TO SUPPORT SPORTS TOURISM IN THE PALM BEACHES.

EVERY TIME WE REACH OUT TO PARKS AND RECREATION, TO THE CITY STAFF, THE EFFORTS, THE INVESTIGATION OF THE OPPORTUNITIES, THE

[00:20:06]

AND WE ARE WE ARE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF IT.

THIS CITY, IN MY OPINION, IT'S IT'S THE IT'S OPERATED AS A BUSINESS AND IT IS BUSINESS FRIENDLY.

AND THE EVENTS THAT CONDUCT THEIR BUSINESS THERE SAY THE SAME THING AT LEAST BACK TO ME.

AND HOPEFULLY YOU'RE HEARING THAT SAME MESSAGE FROM THOSE EVENT OWNERS.

AS I SAID, IT'S PART YOUR PARK AND REC DEPARTMENT IS ONE OF FLORIDA'S FINEST.

NUMBER TWO, NEXT YEAR WE'LL MAKE SURE IT'S NUMBER ONE.

AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PAST YEAR NOW, THIS IS FROM 2021, AND I CAN TELL YOU 2022 WILL OUTPACE PROBABLY SIGNIFICANTLY 2021.

BUT WE SUPPORTED 41 EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE WITHIN THE CITY.

THOSE EVENTS ATTRACTED OVER 35,000 ATTENDEES AND GENERATED OVER 41,000 HOTEL ROOM NIGHTS.

THOSE OVERNIGHT ACCOMMODATIONS CREATE A LOT OF BED TAX FOR THE COUNTY AS A WHOLE, AND IT'S ABOUT 18%, CLOSE TO 20% OF OUR TOTAL ROOM NIGHT PRODUCTION. SO LIKE I SAID, THIS SPORTS TOURISM IS FLOURISHING HERE IN THIS COUNTY.

WE PROJECT THAT THE ECONOMIC IMPACT IS OVER $29 MILLION.

THAT IS NOT INCLUDING THE HONDA CLASSIC ON THE PGA TOUR.

MOST OF THIS ECONOMIC IMPACT IS DERIVED THROUGH YOUR PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT AND YOUR YOUR PUBLIC FACILITIES.

BUT THE COMBINATION OF YOUR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE FACILITIES, AGAIN, IS ONE OF THE BEST IN TERMS OF NOT JUST OUR COUNTY, BUT IN OUR STATE AND BEYOND. I'M JUST WHEN YOU THINK OF EVENTS FROM THE PGA TOUR TO NCAA GOLF CHAMPIONSHIPS TO THE FIRST RESPONDER GAMES FROM FASTPITCH SOFTBALL, CAL RIPKEN, BASEBALL, INTERNATIONAL SOCCER TRAINING, AMATEUR GOLF, COUNTLESS TENNIS AND PICKLEBALL EVENTS.

IN FACT, WE HAVE A WORLD PICKLEBALL OPENING OPEN HAPPENING IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS HERE.

THIS PAST MAY, WE HOSTED IN YOUR CITY, THE INTERNATIONAL TENNIS FEDERATION SENIOR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS GENERATED 10,000 ROOM NIGHTS ACROSS THE COUNTY. BOCA WAS ALSO A PARTNER AND WE HAD 40 DIFFERENT NATIONS REPRESENTED COMING HERE BECAUSE OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, FROM THE AFRICAN AMERICAN GOLFERS HALL OF FAME TO COLLEGIATE CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS TO LACROSSE TOURNAMENTS, TO THE BEST OF YOUTH SOCCER TOURNAMENTS.

THESE ARE ALL SAMPLES OF EVENTS THAT HAPPENED THIS PAST YEAR.

I'M GOING TO POINT OUT THREE EVENTS THAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR.

THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR IS HAPPENING AGAIN, ACTUALLY.

THE END OF THIS MONTH, IT WILL START THE THE FIRST PHASE OF THIS EVENT.

AND I'M REALLY TALKING ABOUT TWO.

IT'S TWO OF FLORIDA'S LARGEST YOUTH SOCCER TOURNAMENTS, WHICH LAST YEAR ATTRACTED 518 TEAMS, 15,000 TOTAL VISITORS AND JUST UNDER 9000 HOTEL ROOM NIGHTS.

AND WHAT WE PROJECT TO BE $7 MILLION OF DIRECT VISITOR SPENDING.

THAT WAS THE 3V3 LIVE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP AND THE EPL WINTER SHOWCASE.

AND IT WAS A BIG EFFORT.

WE HAD TO WORK HARD TO TO WIN THOSE EVENTS, BUT THE CITY HELPED PUT TOGETHER THAT BID AND ALSO LAST YEAR, AND WE'RE PROUD TO PARTNER WITH THE PALM BEACH GARDENS YOUTH ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION AND HOSTING CAL RIPKEN BASEBALL EVENTS.

THERE WAS FOUR.

WE SUPPORTED THE BID AND WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN WINNING THE CAL RIPKEN TEN YOU AND 12 YEAR WORLD SERIES.

THOSE FOUR EVENTS, OVER 7500 ROOM NIGHTS AND $5 MILLION OF ECONOMIC IMPACT, IT'S A PRETTY BIG DEAL.

AND A SPECIAL EVENT THAT WE WORKED ON LAST YEAR WITH THE CITY AND ITS PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT WAS DELIVERING.

THE FIRST RESPONDER GAMES HAPPENS EVERY TWO YEARS.

IT'S AN OLYMPIC STYLE COMPETITION DEDICATED TO OUR NATION'S HEROES, POLICE, FIRE AND MILITARY.

THIS EVENT HAD ABOUT 40 DIFFERENT SPORTS ACROSS THE COUNTY, BUT THIS CITY WAS AN ANCHOR VENUE, AND WITHOUT THE CITY SAYING YES, THE COUNTY WOULD NOT HAVE HOSTED THE EVENT.

THAT WAS JUST LAST YEAR.

I HOPED I COULD COME BACK A YEAR FROM NOW BECAUSE I CAN TELL YOU 2022 IS GOING TO OUTPACE 2021.

FINALLY, AS I SAID, YOU HAVE ONE OF THE FINEST PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENTS.

YOU HAVE SOME OF THE FINEST FACILITIES FOR RECREATIONAL SPORTS AND FOR HOSTING TOURNAMENTS AND SHOWCASES AND EVENTS ON A NATIONAL LEVEL.

THE GARDENS NORTH COUNTY DISTRICT PARK HAS BEEN A GAME CHANGER, RIGHT, WITH THE JOE RUSSO ATHLETIC COMPLEX AND TEN SOCCER FIELDS.

THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE'RE HOSTING 500 TEAMS OVER TWO TOURNAMENTS, BECAUSE THIS VENUE IS TOP OF THE LINE.

WE HAD A SITE VISIT JUST A WEEK AGO WITH TORONTO FC FROM MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER, AND MY COLLEAGUE THAT WAS CONDUCTING THE SITE VISIT TOLD ME THAT THEY LOOKED AT THE FACILITY AND THEY SAID, LOOK, THESE ARE SOME OF THE FINEST AND MOST PRESTIGIOUS SOCCER FIELDS.

THEY WERE LOOKING AT THE TURF PROFESSIONAL SOCCER THAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

AND SO THAT'S A TESTAMENT TO THE PARKS DEPARTMENT AND YOUR EFFORTS OF MAINTAINING THIS FACILITY.

[00:25:06]

AND WE HOST PROBABLY 30 YOUTH BASEBALL TOURNAMENTS, HIGH SCHOOL AGED, COLLEGIATE AGE AT OUR SPRING TRAINING FACILITIES WHEN WE'RE HOSTING EVENTS AT ROGER DEAN STADIUM, A MAJORITY OF THE HOTEL IMPACT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING RIGHT HERE IN THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS.

AND OFTEN WHAT YOU MAY NOT REALIZE AND MIGHT MIGHT NOT REALIZE AND I KNOW THERE'S AN EVENT COMING UP IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, MEN, SENIOR BASEBALL LEAGUE, YOU'RE HELPING US BECAUSE YOU'RE PROVIDING PRACTICE FIELDS FOR SOME OF THESE TEAMS BEFORE THEY GO TO THE SPRING TRAINING FACILITIES.

AND WE GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

APPRECIATE THAT. THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT SERVICE FOR US.

AND IT'S AGAIN, IT'S HELPING THE THE HOTEL AND HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY IN THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS.

BUT JUST ONE YEAR FROM NOW, IN NOVEMBER OF BE 2023, THE MIRACLE LEAGUE ALL-STAR GAME IS COMING TO PALM BEACH COUNTY.

NOW. THE MIRACLE LEAGUE FIELD IS SPECIAL, AND IT'S A VARIATION FOR OF THE GAME OF BASEBALL FOR, AS YOU KNOW, FOR SEVERELY CHALLENGED AND DISABLED YOUTH.

AND WHILE IT'S GREAT FOR A LOCAL COMMUNITY, THERE IS A NATIONAL ALL-STAR GAME AND WE'RE BRINGING THAT HERE.

I HAVE NOT I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF SPORTING EVENTS AND NOTHING HAS INSPIRED ME MORE OR HAS TOUCHED ME MORE THAN THE MIRACLE LEAGUE AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT HERE FOR FOR OUR YOUTH AND THIS VARIATION OF THE GAME OF BASEBALL AND TO BE ABLE TO HOST NOW THE ALL-STAR GAME ON A NATIONAL LEVEL, I HOPE YOU ALL BE OUT THERE, AND I BELIEVE WE WILL ALL WALK AWAY FROM THAT EVENT MORE INSPIRED ABOUT WHAT SPORT CAN DO.

AND SO THAT'S COMING TO THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, AND THAT'S JUST ABOUT A YEAR AWAY.

AND THAT WILL BE PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST SPECIAL EVENTS THAT OUR SPORTS COMMISSION HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH.

SO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO FOR SPORTS, TOURISM, FOR OUR COUNTY AND FOR OUR SPORTS COMMISSION.

THANK YOU, GEORGE. AND AGAIN, I WANT TO CALL OUT COREY WILDER AND DAVID REYES FOR THE EXCEPTIONAL FIELDS THAT THEY DO.

WE PUT THE IMPACT ON IT AND RECREATION, BUT THEY MAINTAIN AN AMAZING SPOT.

SO THANK YOU.

AND. THANK YOU.

THANKS, GUYS. THANK YOU.

ANYBODY WANT TO ADD ANYTHING ON THE WAY OUT? NO. THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

NEXT IS COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC.

[V. COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC]

ACTUALLY, WE'RE GOING TO START WITH MISS PAM PAYNE.

IF YOU COULD COME UP TO THE PODIUM, PLEASE, IF YOU WOULD BE SO KIND AS TO STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS, YOU'LL HAVE 3 MINUTES.

I WON'T TAKE 3 MINUTES.

MY NAME IS PAM PAYNE, AND I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING THE CEO OF THE HOMELESS COALITION OF PALM BEACH COUNTY.

WE APPRECIATE SO VERY, VERY MUCH FOR OUR PROVIDERS, THE PEOPLE THAT ARE OUT THERE EVERY DAY WORKING WITH THE HOMELESS AND HUNGRY, THAT THE THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS HAS PROCLAIMED NOVEMBER HUNGER AND HOMELESS AWARENESS MONTH.

WE LIVE IN ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES ON EARTH, AND YET WE HAVE A STAGGERING NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO CAN'T AFFORD THEIR HOME OR TO PUT FOOD ON THEIR TABLES. WHAT'S NECESSARY FOR US IS THAT THIS IS ESCALATING.

WHAT IN MY JOB AS THE CEO OF THE HOMELESS COALITION, WE PAY FOR THE FIRST LAST IN SECURITY ON NEW HOMES FOR THE HOMELESS WHO GO THROUGH A PROGRAM. WHAT USED TO BE 1800 DOLLARS IS NOW 20 $900.

WHAT USED TO BE 5000 IS EDGING UP TO 10,000.

WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS GET THE WORD OUT TO PEOPLE ABOUT THE RESOURCES AND SERVICES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THEM.

AND THAT'S WHY WE WE APPRECIATE SO MUCH THE AWARENESS OF BEING PROCLAIMED HUNGER AND HOMELESS AWARENESS MONTH SO THAT THESE PEOPLE CAN GET THE SUPPORT THAT IS AVAILABLE TO THEM TODAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. ON BEHALF OF OUR BOARD AND VICE MAYOR LITT, WHO IS PART OF OUR BOARD.

WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO FOR US.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO TALKING ABOUT THAT ON OUR CONSENT AGENDA IN JUST A MOMENT.

THANK YOU. SO NEXT, WE HAVE RICH ORMOND.

IF YOU COULD PLEASE COME TO THE MICROPHONE AT THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS.

HELLO? HELLO.

MY NAME IS RICHARD ORMOND.

I LIVE AT 4203 OAK STREET.

RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET.

I'M HERE BECAUSE OF MY CONCERN ABOUT NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE OURS.

[00:30:06]

WE DON'T HAVE A HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.

WE'RE KIND OF AT THE MERCY OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS TO TAKE CARE OF CODE ENFORCEMENT ON OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND THAT'S WHAT BRINGS ME HERE.

WE HAVE A VOLUNTARY HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION THAT WE STARTED A FEW YEARS AGO, BUT IT'S NOTHING LIKE MOST OF THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATIONS THAT ADDRESS A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF THE CITY'S RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

I'D LIKE TO ASK THE CITY OF GARDEN GARDENS TO TAKE UP A MORE PROACTIVE ROLE TOWARD CODE ENFORCEMENT, THE CITY'S CODE ENFORCEMENT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, PEOPLE.

I MEAN, YOU'RE REALLY NOT SUPPOSED TO PARK YOUR BOAT OR YOUR RV IN THE FRONT YARD OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT PEOPLE DO, AND THE CITY DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT UNLESS RESIDENTS CALL AND HAVE SOMEBODY COME OUT AND AND THEY DO.

BUT I SEE ALL THESE LITTLE ELECTRICAL VEHICLES RUNNING AROUND.

IT'D BE NICE IF THEY WOULD COME AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD EVERY SO OFTEN AND MAKE NOTE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE VIOLATING THE CODE.

THAT WOULD BE TERRIFIC.

AND IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF WE COULD BEGIN TO SEE AN INCREASE IN IN THAT PROGRAM.

BUT RECENTLY A MORSE.

SINCERE ISSUE FACES US, AND THAT IS THAT THE AIRBNB INDUSTRY HAS FOUND THE BEACH GARDENS.

AND I CAN TELL YOU FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY ALL OVER THE NEIGHBORHOODS, OLDER NEIGHBORHOODS, THAT'S VERY ACTIVE AND THAT'S A DANGER TO THE QUALITY OF OUR OLDER SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS.

THEY CANNOT GO IN TO THE HOMES THERE.

THEY ARE PROTECTED.

WE ARE NOT.

AND WE NEED THE CITY'S HELP.

I CALLED AND TALKED TO A WOMAN WHO WAS VERY NICE AND TOLD ME, SORRY, BUT THERE ARE NO CODES IN THE CITY THAT PROTECT AGAINST THEM AND THERE ARE NO CODES IN THE STATE THAT PROTECT AGAINST THEM.

BUT I BEG TO DISAGREE.

BUT OUR ZONING IS SINGLE FAMILY ZONING.

AM I OVER? YOU ARE.

BUT I'LL GIVE YOU JUST A TEENY BIT MORE, WOULD YOU? YOU'RE BEING VERY RESPECTFUL, WHICH WE APPRECIATE.

SO JUST IF YOU COULD SUMMARIZE, WE'D REALLY.

I'M SORRY. EVERYONE GETS 3 MINUTES.

I DON'T THINK THAT THREE, 3 MINUTES WENT BY FAST IN MY LIFE.

YOU'RE. YOU'RE VERY WELL-SPOKEN.

WE'RE LISTENING. BUT I DO HAVE OTHER FOLKS WITH CARDS.

OKAY. SINGLE FAMILY ZONING DOES NOT PERMIT BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, AIRBNB OR BUSINESSES.

THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE RUNNING IN.

THOSE HOMES ARE BUSINESSES AND THERE'S NO REASON WHY THE CITY CAN'T ENFORCE IT.

YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT I DO WHEN I WANT TO FIND OUT.

I CALL AIRBNB AND FIND OUT WHAT'S AVAILABLE AND I KNOW WHERE THEY ARE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO. WELL, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE CITY'S HELP WITH THAT.

WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE TONIGHT.

WHAT WE'LL DO IS WE HAVE YOUR INFORMATION AND WE'LL HAVE CODE ENFORCEMENT FOLLOW UP WITH YOU DIRECTLY, IF THAT WOULD BE OKAY.

OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU FOR COMING, MADAM.

AND THANK YOU FOR DOING A GREAT JOB.

VERY FAMILIAR WITH DR.

ORMOND. HOW ARE YOU DOING? I'M GOOD. ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL GET WITH STAFF AND LOOK INTO IT, AND WE'LL WE'LL GET WITH YOU AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT WHAT YOU SEE OVER THERE.

WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP.

I KNOW YOU'RE DOING A GOOD JOB OF THAT, RON.

YES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANKS FOR COMING TONIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT, WE HAVE DR.

TRACEY PELLET FROM PALM BEACH STATE COLLEGE.

AGAIN, IF YOU COULD COME TO THE PODIUM, STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS.

ALL RIGHT. AND I WILL CERTAINLY WATCH THAT.

3 MINUTES TO COLLEGE PROFESSORS ARE NOT THE MOST CONCISE, SO I'LL BE AS QUICK AS I CAN.

I AM TRACY PALAIS.

I'M THE PROVOST AND DEAN.

THAT'S JUST A FANCY WAY OF SAYING I'M THE SENIOR ADMINISTRATOR HERE AT THE PALM BEACH GARDENS CAMPUS.

AND I'M REALLY HERE FOR TWO THINGS OR TWO REASONS.

ONE, TO BRING YOU GREETINGS FROM PRESIDENT AVA PARKER.

SHE CERTAINLY, AS YOU KNOW, IS A TREMENDOUS PARTNER FOR PALM BEACH COUNTY AND CERTAINLY PALM BEACH GARDENS.

THERE'S NOTHING MORE INSTRUMENTAL OR KEY TO A COMMUNITY IN ITS SUCCESS OF EDUCATION.

AND ONE OF THE AREAS, OBVIOUSLY PALM BEACH STATE PROVIDES IS THAT ECONOMIC IMPACT TO FAMILIES AND

[00:35:03]

SOME OF THOSE WILL MOVE ON TO FIU AND OTHER UNIVERSITIES AND SOME WILL GO DIRECTLY INTO THE WORKFORCE.

WE LOOK TO BE THAT AND AS YOU KNOW, HAS BEEN A GREAT PARTNER FOR MANY YEARS.

I'M NOT ONLY JUST THE PROVOST AND IN DEAN, I'M ALSO A RESIDENT.

AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU, JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME FEEDBACK AS A NEW RESIDENT IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS, I HAVE NOT SEEN A CITY THAT'S PROBABLY MORE TRANSPARENT, MORE HAVING THE ABILITY TO CONNECT WITH ITS CITIZENS THAN PALM BEACH GARDENS.

SO SO MY KUDOS NOT ONLY TO THE DEAN, BUT BUT ALSO THROWS SOME KUDOS AT THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

NOTHING I'VE SEEN MORE ACTIVE THAN WHAT YOU HAVE IN THIS REGION.

I'M NOT TELLING YOU ANYTHING YOU DON'T KNOW.

BUT BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS.

ONE OF THE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW IS THAT YOU HAVE A GREAT PARTNER UP THE STREET.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO INTERACTING EVEN MORE THAN PROBABLY WE HAVE.

THERE'S SOME REALLY EXCITING THINGS COMING TO OUR CAMPUS IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

BUT EVERYBODY IN THIS ROOM, WE LOOK FORWARD TO ENGAGING WITH YOU EVEN MORE.

THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME JUST TO SAY HI AND TO PUT A FACE AT LEAST TO THE NAME AND APPRECIATE FOLLOWING SOME OF THE GREAT SUPERSTARS THAT YOU HAVE HERE. SO HAVE A GREAT MEETING.

[00:40:02]

[VI. CITY MANAGER REPORT]

THEY'VE BECOME EVEN MORE ACTIVE THAN THE LAST TIME I REPORTED TO YOU.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO CALL UP FIRST KEITH BRIER, FIRE RESCUE CHIEF, AND THEN POLICE CHIEF CLINT SHANNON, TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON WHAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR EFFORTS TO PROVIDE SOME HELP OVER THERE.

GOOD EVENING, ADAM.

MAYOR COUNCIL ON OCTOBER 22ND, PALM BEACH GARDENS FIRE RESCUE DEPLOYED A SECOND STRIKE TEAM TO THE WEST COAST FOR A TEN DAY DEPLOYMENT WHICH CONSISTED OF A RESCUE TRUCK AND THREE PERSONNEL. SO JUST SO YOU'RE AWARE, THESE DEPLOYMENTS ARE VOLUNTARY.

THE WORK IS PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, EMOTIONALLY DRAINING AND THE LIVING CONDITIONS ARE DEPLORABLE.

YET ON BOTH DEPLOYMENTS, REQUESTS FOR VOLUNTEERS FILLED WITHIN MINUTES, WHICH IS A DIRECT REFLECTION OF OUR PERSONNEL'S DEDICATION TO PUBLIC SERVICE.

THE CREW THAT WAS THERE WAS TASKED WITH ASSISTING LEE COUNTY EMS, WHO HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMED WITH EMERGENCY CALLS SINCE INMATE LANDFALL.

IF WE CAN'T GO TO THE SECOND SLIDE, THERE WE GO.

THE CREW WAS ASSIGNED THE EMS CALLS DURING 8 P.M.

TO 8 A.M. OPERATIONAL PERIOD.

APPARENTLY, THEY GOT THE SHORT STRAW AN HOUR UP AT NIGHT.

THEY WERE ALSO SUBJECT TO CALL DURING THEIR REST PERIODS.

BUT ACCORDING TO THE CREWS, ACCORDING TO THE CREWS, ARE STILL A LOT OF DEVASTATION OVER THERE.

THERE'S STILL A LOT OF THINGS THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT.

BUT THE EXHAUSTED LEE COUNTY MEDICS WERE EXTREMELY THANKFUL FOR CREWS, THE ALL THE TASK FORCE THAT SHOWED UP TO HELP JUST TO RECOGNIZE THE STRIKE TEAM MEMBERS.

THEY INCLUDED LIEUTENANT RYAN WINKLEMAN, FIRE MEDIC JULIE DUDLEY, AND FIREFIGHTER EMT GEORGE FERGUSON.

ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

EVENING. MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS PALM BEACH GARDENS POLICE DEPARTMENT CURRENTLY HAS TEN OFFICERS DEPLOYED ON THE WEST COAST OF FLORIDA.

THEY ARE STATIONED AT A BASE CAMP AND ASSIGNED EXCLUSIVELY TO SANIBEL ISLAND.

THAT THAT STARTED LAST SATURDAY AND OCTOBER 29TH.

WE'RE OF PART OF A DEPLOYMENT OF 60 OFFICERS FROM POLICE DEPARTMENTS THROUGHOUT PALM BEACH COUNTY, AND WE'VE DEPLOYED SPECIALIZED VEHICLES, MOBILE COMMAND VEHICLES, WATERCRAFT AND K-9 UNITS.

YOU SEE, AS I SCROLL THROUGH SOME OF THE PICTURES, THIS IS BASE CAMP THAT'S SET UP ON SANIBEL ISLAND.

OFFICERS ARE CONDUCTING PROTECTIVE PATROLS, ANSWERING CALLS FOR SERVICE AND PROVIDING ANY NEEDS THAT MAY ARISE WHILE WORKING 16 HOUR SHIFTS EXCLUSIVELY AT NIGHT.

THERE'S CURRENTLY STILL NO ELECTRIC SERVICE ON THE ISLAND, AND THEY HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SOME PROBLEMS WITH LOOTERS, BURGLARS.

THEY'RE TRYING TO ACCESS THE ISLAND AT NIGHT, SOMETIMES VIA WAVE RUNNERS AND WATERCRAFT.

THEY'RE ALSO DEALING WITH CONTRACTOR FRAUD, THEFT AND A LOT OF OTHER ISSUES.

SOME OF THE DEVASTATION OVER THERE THAT'S BEEN REPORTED BY THE MEDIA REALLY HAS BEEN, I THINK HAS BEEN UNDERSTATED WHEN YOU ACTUALLY EXPERIENCE IT, EXPERIENCE IT.

AND THESE WERE SOME OF THE PICTURES OUR GROUPS TOOK WHILE THEY WERE OVER THERE.

WHILE THEY'RE STILL OVER THERE.

WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE RELIEVING OUR OFFICERS THAT ARE THERE AND SENDING A DOZEN OFFICERS ON A WEEKLY BASIS THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER AND POSSIBLY LONGER.

THIS IS ONE CHARACTER OUR OFFICERS RAN, RAN ACROSS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

YESTERDAY, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL TO SANIBEL.

WE DELIVERED SOME MUCH NEEDED EQUIPMENT.

IT INCLUDED SOME DRONES AND NIGHT VISION EQUIPMENT FOR OUR OFFICERS.

I ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH SANIBEL CHIEF BILL DALTON, WHO EXPRESSED HIS GRATITUDE.

AND JUST OUR OFFICERS THAT ARE OVER THERE NOW HAVE RECEIVED RAVE REVIEWS FROM THEIR COWORKERS AND THE REST OF THE CONTINGENCY FROM FROM PALM BEACH COUNTY.

IT WAS VERY REWARDING TO TO HELP THEM OUT THERE IN DIRE NEEDS.

AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE FOR SOME TIME.

BUT AGAIN, THIS THIS ALL COULDN'T COULDN'T.

COULDN'T OCCUR WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF OUR CITY MANAGER AND, OF COURSE, OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS.

SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO REACH OUT TO WHATEVER WE CAN TO HELP THEM OUT ON THE WEST COAST.

AND WE EXPECT TO BE THERE FOR AT LEAST AT LEAST IN THESE NEXT 3 TO 4 WEEKS, IF NOT LONGER.

[00:45:01]

AND AND LIKE CHIEF BRIER SAID TO, IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR US TO FILL UP A MONTH WORTH OF ASSIGNMENTS TO THE WEST COAST.

SO THE OFFICERS FEEL THE SAME WAY WHEN I SPOKE TO HIM YESTERDAY.

AN EXTREMELY REWARDING AND HUMBLING EXPERIENCE FOR ALL OF THEM.

AND WE KNOW IF WE'RE EVER IN NEED, WE'LL WE'LL DEFINITELY HAVE THIS OUR PARTNERS REACHING OUT TO US.

SO AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT.

YOU KNOW, CHIEF, BEFORE YOU WALK AWAY, I KNOW THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME WE'VE DONE THIS.

WE HELP, AND GOD FORBID, WE NEED TO RECIPROCATE THAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO US.

BUT WE NEED TO HONOR THESE OFFICERS AND RECOGNIZE THEM WHEN THEY RETURN.

NO MATTER IF IT'S THE ENTIRE AGENCY, WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO.

THIS IS WAY BEYOND NORMAL DUTY OF OF POLICING.

AND KEITH ARE FIRED.

THEY'RE OVER THERE PROBABLY SAVING LIVES LIKE THEY DO HERE.

SO IF THERE'S A WAY WE CAN MAKE SURE WE HONOR THESE GUYS AND RECOGNIZE THEM WHEN WE GET BACK, EVEN IF WE PARADE THE WHOLE POLICE DEPARTMENT RIGHT THROUGH IN ONE DOOR AND OUT THE NEXT, AND WE'LL DO SOMETHING FOR THEM.

YES, WE CERTAINLY WILL. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN.

LIKE I SAID, I COULDN'T BE PROUDER.

AND WE WAITED YESTERDAY UNTIL THEY WOKE UP FROM FROM SLEEPING.

SINCE THEY'RE WORKING THESE LONG HOURS THAT NIGHT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE RECOGNIZE THEIR THEIR SERVICE OVER THERE YESTERDAY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, CHIEF.

THANK YOU, CARL. AND I'D LIKE TO, IF I COULD SPEAK ON BEHALF OF ALL THE COUNCIL.

WE WE WOULD LOVE TO SUPPORT THAT AS WELL, OUR STAFF.

AND THANK YOU BOTH, CHIEF BRYANT, CHIEF SHANNON, FOR ALL YOU DO HAVE ONE OTHER ITEM IN THE SPIRIT OF PAY IT FORWARD THAT WE JUST HEARD ABOUT, YOU HAVE ON YOUR AGENDA TONIGHT RESOLUTION 79, WHICH OPERATION? SISTER CITY.

JUST A BRIEF EXPLANATION.

WELL, MAYBE NOT SO BRIEF EXPLANATION OF WHAT THAT'S ALL ABOUT.

IN 2018, THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS BECAME A SISTER CITY TO APPROXIMATELY 300 EMPLOYEES UP IN BAY COUNTY, IN THE CITY OF CALLAWAY.

FOLLOWING THAT HURRICANE FOR MICHAEL.

ONCE AGAIN, WE'RE REQUESTING TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE AND RELIEF TO 91 EMPLOYEES AND THEIR FAMILIES.

HIT HARD BY CATEGORY FOUR IN.

A FEW DAYS AFTER THE HURRICANE, THE CITY OF CALLAWAY, WHO WE HELPED BACK IN 2018, CALLED AND ASKED IF THEY COULD PARTNER WITH US IN SISTER CITY, WHATEVER CITY IT IS THAT WE CHOOSE, THAT WE'RE GOING TO HELP.

THEY WANTED TO HELP PAY IT FORWARD BECAUSE OF ALL THE HELP TO SHOW THEIR APPRECIATION.

UM. THE BAY COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS AGENCY, WHO WE ALSO HELP.

THEY'RE DONATING $10,000 TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WORKS ASSOCIATION TO HELP OUT PUBLIC WORKS EMPLOYEES DOWN IN HARDEE COUNTY.

THROUGH OUR OPERATION OF SISTER CITY, WE ARE PARTNERING WITH CHRIST FELLOWSHIP CHURCH AND THE CITY OF CALLAWAY, WHICH DONATED $15,000 TOWARDS THE EFFORTS.

GAVE THE MONEY TO THE CITY TO USE TO HELP.

WE ALSO GOT A $10,000 DONATION FROM CHRIST FELLOWSHIP CHURCH.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, THEY'RE GOING TO PROVIDE A LOT OF OTHER SERVICES ALONG WITH THE CITY AND PARTNER WITH US TRAVELING HOPEFULLY OVER THERE AND AND AGAIN, PAYING IT FORWARD, I GUESS.

WE SET A GOAL OF $35,000 FOR OURSELVES.

THE CITY OF WAUCHULA IS.

4801. RESIDENTS.

THEY DID SUFFER A LOT OF DAMAGE.

FLOODING, WINDS, TREES DOWN, POWER OUT.

AND THE PEACE RIVER OVERFLEW OVERFLEW OVERFLOWED ITS RIVER BEDS DURING THE STORM.

THEY ACCUMULATED AN AWFUL LOT OF RAIN.

THE 90 OF THE 91 EMPLOYEES, EIGHT EMPLOYEES LOST THEIR HOME AND ALL OF THEIR BELONGINGS.

MOST OF THE DAMAGES, AGAIN, WAS DUE TO FLOOD MORE SO THAN WHEN.

SO WE'RE MAKING PLANS WITH CHRIST FELLOWSHIP CHURCH TO MAKE A COUPLE OF TRIPS TO WAUCHULA.

THE FIRST ONE IS NOVEMBER 16TH, WHICH WE WISH TO BRING TO THEM CARE PACKAGES OF PERSONAL ITEMS THAT THEY FIND THAT THEY CAN'T

[00:50:09]

AND THAT'S JUST THE IMMEDIATE AND WE'RE WE WILL CHRIST FELLOWSHIP CHURCH WILL FEED ON DECEMBER THE 16TH.

WE WISH TO TAKE TO WAUCHULA A HOLIDAY LUNCH AND ADDITIONAL PERSONAL SUPPLIES.

BUT WE ALSO HAVE THE NAMES OF ALL THE CHILDREN IN THE TOWN.

AND WE THINK SANTA CLAUS IS MAKING A SPECIAL EFFORT TO BRING THEM SOME TOYS RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

SO THAT'S THE FRAMEWORK OF OUR PLAN AND WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO WITH WAUCHULA.

THAT'S THE FINANCING WE'LL ALSO HAVE ON OUR WEBSITE.

WE HAVE A AMAZON.

HELP ME OUT WITH THAT ONE, AMAZON.

WISH LIST.

SO WITH THE WISH LIST, ANYONE WHO WISHES TO MAKE DONATIONS TO HELP US WITH OUR EFFORTS CAN DONATE EFFORTS, BUT THEY CAN FIND THAT WHOLE THING ON THE CITY'S WEB PAGE.

SO THERE'S A LINK, AND IT'S ALSO ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS SO THAT PEOPLE WHO AND THERE'S A LIST OF THINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR SO PEOPLE CAN CONTRIBUTE.

WE WILL.

LIKE WE DID BEFORE CITY STAFF, SINCE IT'S ONLY 91 PEOPLE WERE LOOKING AT WILL BE PUTTING TOGETHER THE BOXES AND GETTING THE PURCHASE CARDS AND BE ABLE TO HELP OUT THOSE WHO LOST THEIR HOMES A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN EVERYONE ELSE TO SEE IF WE COULD GIVE THEM A LEG UP AND GET THEM STARTED.

SO WHEN YOU REACH RESOLUTION 79, JUST WANTED TO HAVE YOU ALL KNOW THAT IN ADVANCE OF WHAT OUR DESIRES WOULD BE IF YOU WILL PROVE THAT RESOLUTION.

THAT'S IT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. IT WAS ACTUALLY KIND OF BETTER TO SAVOR THAT A LITTLE BIT.

THAT WAS EXCELLENT. THANK YOU.

LOOKING FORWARD TO TALKING ABOUT THAT.

SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO OUR PUBLIC HEARINGS.

I'M GOING TO READ THE QUASI JUDICIAL STATEMENT TONIGHT.

WE ARE HOLDING QUASI JUDICIAL HEARINGS ON THE FOLLOWING CASES, RESOLUTION 65, 2022, FRENCHMAN'S CREEK CLUBHOUSE, RESOLUTION 6620 22.

[VIII.a. ORDINANCE 9, 2022 – (2ND READING & ADOPTION) LANDSCAPE IRRIGATION CONSERVATION MEASURES. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA; AMENDING CHAPTER 74.

[00:55:05]

PROVIDING A CONFLICT CLAUSE, A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE AND AUTHORITY TO CODIFY PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

HAS ANYTHING CHANGED SINCE FIRST READING? NO. NO, MA'AM. ALL RIGHT.

DO WE NEED A PRESENTATION? I'M ASKING COUNSEL.

NO. ALL RIGHT. SO IS THERE ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK? WE HAVE NO COMMENT CARDS AND SO.

I DID NOT OPEN THE HEARING.

SORRY, OPENING THE HEARING.

AND WE HAVE NO COMMENT CARDS.

WE HAVE NO ONE COMING TO THE PODIUM.

SO I'M GOING TO PROCEED.

WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE THE HEARING. CAN I GET A MOTION IN A SECOND TO APPROVE, TO BRING IT TO DISCUSSION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

MAY I GET A SECOND TO DISCUSS THIS? I WAS LIKE, THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, LET'S BRING IT BACK FOR DISCUSSION.

ROCHELLE, SINCE YOU BROUGHT IT UP FOR THE MOTION.

ARE YOU GOOD TO GO? I WOULD LIKE TO WAIT AND HEAR WHAT MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE TO SAY.

UNDERSTOOD. ALL RIGHT.

WHO'D LIKE TO SPEAK? I THINK MAASAI SHOULD SPEAK UP FIRST.

HE WAS THE ONE WHO BROUGHT THE THE QUESTION AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING.

SO IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION, SPEAK FIRST.

NO PROBLEM. AS YOU KNOW, AT THE FIRST READING, I MENTIONED THAT I'M 100% IN FAVOR OF WATER CONSERVATION.

I JUST WOULD LOVE FOR ALL OF US TO APPROVE SOMETHING THAT ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES CAN LIVE WITH, BECAUSE MOST OF THE COMMUNITIES HAVE LARGE COMMON AREAS, THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO ADHERE TO SOME OF THIS LANGUAGE.

AND AFTER SERVING ON AN HOA BOARD FOR ALMOST A DECADE, I CAN ATTEST THAT IT'S NOT ONLY ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT PALM BEACH GARDENS CAN ENFORCE THIS, WHICH WE KNOW THIS IS A VERY TOUGH THING TO ENFORCE, BUT IT'S ALSO ABOUT PROTECTING THE HOMES FROM AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMEONE THAT MAYBE HAVE A GRIPE WITH THEM OR SOMEBODY THAT'S NOT A VERY HAPPY RESIDENT, THAT BRINGS IT UP AND THEN WE'LL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ENFORCE IT.

SO WHY NOT STRENGTHEN THE LANGUAGE SO IT WORKS BETTER FOR ALL OF US? AFTER FIRST READING, I THOUGHT I CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION AND I DID CHAT WITH RON AND MAX, BUT THEY INFORMED ME THAT SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DIDN'T PREFER THAT SUGGESTION, THAT LANGUAGE THAT I THOUGHT WOULD WORK.

SO I CALLED SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT AND I SPOKE TO THE BUREAU CHIEF OF WATER SUPPLY.

HIS NAME IS MARK ELSNER, AND HE AND HIS TEAM ACTUALLY, AND THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL AUTHORS OF THE ORDINANCE LANGUAGE.

AND THEY I SHARED MY CONCERNS.

I SHARED MY CONCERNS OF THE COMMUNITIES AND THE PROFESSIONALS THAT I SPOKE TO.

AND SOUTH FLORIDA AND MARK AND HIS TEAM, THEY WERE MORE THAN HAPPY TO COME UP WITH A SUGGESTION AND THEY EMAILED ME, PROVIDED ME WITH CLARIFY WITH A CLARIFICATION DEFINITION FOR US TO INSERT, AND THEY EMAILED THEIR SUGGESTED LANGUAGE AND THAT WAS ACCEPTABLE TO ALL PARTIES.

SOUTH FLORIDA ALSO ASSURED ME THAT PASSING OR NOT PASSING THE ORDINANCE WOULD NOT AT ALL NEGATIVELY AFFECT SEA ABILITY TO OBTAIN A CONSUMPTIVE USE PERMIT.

BUT HAVING THE ORDINANCE, EVEN WITH THIS ADDITION OF THE DEFINITION, COULD ONLY HELP SEACOAST GET THEIR CONSUMPTIVE USE PERMIT. AND THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID.

I'M ASKING YOU ALL TO SUPPORT A VERY SIMPLE ADDITION OF A DEFINITION THAT SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT CAME UP WITH AND APPROVED WITH THIS ORDINANCE.

I IF RON DIDN'T HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE YOU A COPY OF IT, I BROUGHT ONE FOR EACH OF YOU WITH EXACTLY THE RED LINED EYE TAB, THE AREA OF THE TWO SECTIONS FOR EACH ONE OF YOU AND I HAVE ONE FOR THE CITY CLERK AS WELL.

I'D LIKE TO PASS THAT ALONG TO EACH OF YOU.

AND TAKE A MOMENT TO JUST FLIP TO THE TABBED AREAS AND.

TAKE A MOMENT TO LOOK AT IT.

IT'S VERY SIMPLE AND I WOULD LIKE TO.

WITH THAT SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A SUBSTITUTE MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NINE 2022 WITH THE ADDITION OF THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT APPROVED DEFINITION TO SECTION 7472, WHICH READS RESIDENTIAL LANDSCAPE IRRIGATION SYSTEM.

THAT MEANS A SYSTEM THAT IS USED FOR IRRIGATION OF LANDSCAPE AT A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL HOME OR DUPLEX THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN A COMMON AREA.

[01:00:03]

SO I JUST MADE A MOTION, A SUBSTITUTE MOTION.

WOULD ANYBODY SECOND THAT I'LL SECOND.

AND ESSENTIALLY THAT IS.

THE ONLY CHANGE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AND WHAT IT DOES IS IT CLEARLY EXCLUDES COMMON AREAS FROM THAT SECTION THAT I HAD A CONCERN WITH.

BEFORE WE BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER, THOUGH, THIS IS YOU KNOW, THIS IS QUITE LEGAL.

SO IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A SECOND TO DISCUSS IT.

BUT I'D LOVE TO HAVE.

I NEED FIRST, MARCY TO EXPLAIN WHY SHE FEELS THIS IS NECESSARY AND THEN TO HAVE MAX AND RON EXPLAIN. WHAT THAT MEANS FOR THE CITY IF WE CHANGE.

SO WHY, KNOWING WHAT THIS WHY I FEEL IT'S NECESSARY AND IT HAS TO DO WITH THE TIME LIMITS OF LIKE WET CHECKS, FOR EXAMPLE, OF IRRIGATION. SO IN LARGE COMMON AREAS THERE ARE IRRIGATION ZONES AND THE IRRIGATION ZONES ONLY ALLOW 10 MINUTES FOR A WET CHECK, WHICH MEANS IF YOU HAVE A RIGHT OF WAY OR A LANDSCAPE BUFFER, A BIG LANDSCAPE BUFFER, AND I SPOKE TO SEVERAL IRRIGATION COMPANIES, IT TAKES ONE MINUTE PER HEAD PER ZONE TO DO A WET CHECK, WHICH MEANS IT TAKES APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES TO DO A SIMPLE WET CHECK IN ALMOST EVERY COMMON AREA ZONE.

THIS THIS.

BY ADDING THIS DEFINITION, IT WILL EXCLUDE THOSE COMMON AREAS SO THAT THEY CAN ABIDE BY THE REST OF THIS ORDINANCE.

IT MAKES THEM ABLE TO ADHERE TO THE ORDINANCE AND WITHOUT QUESTION, IT STRENGTHENS THE ORDINANCE FOR ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES TO BE ABLE TO ADHERE TO IT.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, AT THE BEGINNING THEY SAID, OH, WE NEED TO YOU CAN TURN THE WATER ON AND OFF.

WELL, THEY NEED THE WATER ON A LOT OF TIMES AND TO TO ACTUALLY CLEAR AHEAD FROM YOU KNOW, I'M TALKING ABOUT AN IRRIGATION HEAD.

BUT NOT ONLY THAT, IT TAKES BECAUSE THESE ZONES ARE LANDSCAPE BUFFERS AND THEY ARE RIGHTS OF WAY LIKE ROAD RIGHTS OF WAY MEDIANS IN THE COMMON AREAS OF ALL OF OUR MAJOR COMMUNITIES.

THESE AREAS ARE VERY LONG AND THE EACH HEAD IS SPREAD OUT VERY FAR.

SO JUST TO WALK FROM ONE END WHERE THE CONTROLLER IS, TO TURN IT ON ALL THE WAY TO THE OTHER END, IT TAKES A LONG TIME, A LOT LONGER THAN 10 MINUTES.

SO JUST, JUST BY INSERTING THIS SIMPLE DEFINITION, THEN OUR COMMUNITIES, WHICH WE HAVE MANY, MANY GATED COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE THESE COMMON AREAS IN IT, AND THIS WOULD ALLOW THE HOMES TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO ADHERE TO THIS WATER CONSERVATION ORDINANCE. AND WHEN I TALK TO SOUTH FLORIDA, THEY WERE VERY HAPPY TO ADD THIS LANGUAGE.

THEY SENT IT TO ME WITHIN AN HOUR ONCE THEY KNEW THE INTENT OF MY CONCERN.

AND I SHARED TO THEM ALL OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT I SPOKE TO, I SHARED TO THEM THE CONCERN AND HE WAS MORE THAN HAPPY TO CHANGE IT.

OH, IN ADDITION, I'M SORRY.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU RECEIVED I RECEIVED EMAILS.

I'M SURE YOU RECEIVED SOME EMAILS BECAUSE I SAW A LOT OF OUR COMMUNITIES SHARE THEIR SUPPORT OF THIS DEFINITION ADDITION.

I GOT SOME LETTERS, TOO, FROM SOME OF THE IRRIGATION COMPANIES AND COMMUNITIES.

BUT CAN MAX GO THROUGH LEGALLY WHAT THIS MEANS AND WHAT THIS DOES? FOR FOR US BY CHANGING THAT LANGUAGE.

DO THEY NOT HAVE TO GET TO HAVE TO PARTICIPATE, THOUGH, IN THE RESTRICTIONS OR WHAT DO YOU MEAN, DO THEY NOT HAVE TO PARTICIPATE? LET'S HAVE LET'S HAVE MAX.

DOES IT DO I LIKE TO HEAR FROM WHAT DO I.

SURE ORDINANCE NINE 2022 FIRST OF ALL, THE INTENT, OBVIOUSLY, IS WATER CONSERVATION.

SECTION 7475 IS ENTITLED EXCEPTIONS TO LANDSCAPE IRRIGATION SCHEDULE.

SO IT'S AN EXCEPTION.

TO TO THE LIMITATION YOUR WATERING SCHEDULES.

THE CURRENT EXCEPTION LIMITS WET CHECKS AS WE ARE COMMONLY REFERRING TO THEM FOR ALL IRRIGATION SYSTEMS TO 10 MINUTES PER ZONE PER TEST CYCLE.

SO YES, YOU CAN TURN IT ON AND OFF AND EACH TIME YOU TURN IT ON AND OFF, YOUR 10 MINUTES STARTS OVER AGAIN.

[01:05:02]

IT SAYS RESIDENTIAL.

IT MEANS THE SYSTEM USED FOR IRRIGATION OF LANDSCAPING AT A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL HOME OR DUPLEX THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN A COMMON AREA.

SO BE YOUR INDIVIDUAL HOME OR AN INDIVIDUAL DUPLEX, NOT INCLUDING THEIR COMMON AREAS.

WELL, THE FIRST PART OF 7475.

SUBPARAGRAPH ONE SAYS LANDSCAPE IRRIGATION SYSTEMS MAY BE OPERATED DURING RESTRICTED DAYS AND OR TIMES FOR CLEANING, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PURPOSES, WITH AN ATTENDANT ON SITE IN THE AREA BEING TESTED, PERIOD.

LANDSCAPE IRRIGATION SYSTEMS. LANDSCAPE IRRIGATION IS A DEFINED TERM AND IT COVERS EVERYTHING.

WELL, THEN YOU HAVE YOU ADD THE DEFINITION OF LANDSCAPE RESIDENTIAL LANDSCAPE SYSTEMS. NOW YOU'RE NARROWING, YOU'RE CREATING A NEW DEFINITION THAT NARROWS IT AND SAYS THAT RESIDENTIAL LANDSCAPE SYSTEMS MAY ROUTINELY BE OPERATED FOR SUCH PURPOSES NO MORE THAN ONCE PER WEEK. SO THE TEN MINUTE LIMIT WILL ONLY APPLY TO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND DUPLEXES.

10 MINUTES WILL NOT APPLY TO ANY OTHER IRRIGATION SYSTEM FOR ANY OTHER PROPERTY IN THE CITY.

SO ANYBODY ELSE OTHER THAN A SINGLE FAMILY IN A DUPLEX WILL BE ABLE TO RUN THEIR IRRIGATION SYSTEM AS LONG AS THEY WANT TO CONDUCT THEIR MAINTENANCE OR WET CHECKS.

MR. ELSNER RESPONDED TO AN EMAIL INQUIRY PROVIDED TO HIM BY THE CITY MANAGER WHEN COUNCIL MEMBER TINSLEY HAD ASKED ABOUT WHAT COULD WE INCREASE THE TIME OR WHATEVER FROM 10 MINUTES TO 20 MINUTES AS WAS BROUGHT UP AT FIRST READING.

AND SO WE ASKED SOUTH FLORIDA ABOUT IT BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF IT COULD BE DONE.

AND HE RESPONDED IN HIS EMAIL AND SAID, THE SPIRIT OF THE TIME LIMIT IN THE EXCEPTION IS TO PREVENT USERS FROM IRRIGATING DURING RESTRICTED TIMES UNDER THE GUISE OF TESTING OR WET CHECKS. WELL, NOW THEY WON'T HAVE ANY LIMITATION.

THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT WE LIMITED WERE THE PEOPLE WITH THE SMALLEST SYSTEMS, SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND DUPLEXES, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MAYBE A COUPLE OF HOMES, SOME OF THE LARGE, VERY LARGE HOMES IN OLD PALM OR SOME OF THE VERY LARGE HOMES IN HORSESHOE ACRES OR IN STEEPLECHASE.

MOST PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO MOST RESIDENTIAL HOMES AND DUPLEXES WOULD ABSOLUTELY BE ABLE TO DO WET CHECKS IN 10 MINUTES OR LESS.

CERTAINLY CYCLING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF.

SO THIS THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT WILL PERMIT NONRESIDENTIAL USERS TO RUN THEIR SYSTEMS WITHOUT LIMITATION UNDER THE GUISE OF TESTING.

IT'S NO WONDER THAT DEVELOPERS AND LANDSCAPERS SUPPORT THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT BECAUSE NOW THEY DON'T HAVE ANY LIMITATIONS ON THEM AT ALL.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

THEY HAVE OTHER THEY HAVE ALL THE REST OF THE LIMITATIONS TO ACTUALLY ACTUALLY THAT THAT IS NOT TRUE.

THEY HAVE THE OPERATIONAL LIMITATIONS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, BUT THE EXCEPTION.

THIS IS AN EXCEPTION. THIS SECTION IN THE CODE THAT IS PROPOSED TO BE AMEND IS AN EXCEPTION THAT ALLOWS YOU TO OPERATE YOUR IRRIGATION SYSTEM OUTSIDE THE LIMITATIONS AS SET FORTH. I'LL GIVE YOU THE SECTION.

IT'S 74 DASH 7474 B.

I BELIEVE IT'S B, YES, IT'S B, THAT'S 74 TO 74.

SUBSECTION FOUR B IS THE SECTION THAT SETS FORTH THE IRRIGATION LIMITATIONS, TELLS YOU WHETHER YOU'RE ODD OR EVEN WHEN YOU CAN WATER WHEN YOU CAN'T.

AND THIS IS AN EXCEPTION TO THAT.

AND THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT, THIS EXCEPTION.

WITHOUT THE TEN LIMIT, TEN MINUTE LIMITATION FOR EVERYONE WOULD ALLOW ANYONE OTHER THAN A SINGLE FAMILY HOME OR A DUPLEX TO RUN CHECKS AS LONG AS THEY WANT WITHOUT LIMITATION.

YOU CAN CERTAINLY PASS THAT IF YOU WANT.

IT'S YOUR LEGISLATIVE PREROGATIVE.

BUT IF WATER CONSERVATION IS YOUR GOAL, YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF, AM I MORE CONCERNED ABOUT WATER CONSERVATION OR AM I LESS CONCERNED ABOUT WATER CONSERVATION? BECAUSE THIS WILL ALLOW ANYONE OTHER THAN SINGLE FAMILY AND DUPLEXES TO RUN WET CHICKS AS LONG AS THEY WANT.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S AN ENORMOUS ISSUE OR NOT.

IT'S NOT MY LEGISLATION.

IT'S NOT MY REALLY MY CONCERN.

IT'S JUST THAT'S WHAT IT DOES TO THE ORDINANCE.

I THINK IT WAS AN ILL CONCEIVED DEFINITION.

IT'S KIND OF CONFUSING TO ME WHEN I READ THE EMAILS SENT BY MR. ELSNER. IT'S DIFFICULT TO RECONCILE THE CONTRADICTION BETWEEN HIS TWO EMAILS.

THEY SAID THEY WERE AMENABLE TO THIS, BUT THEN IN HIS FIRST EMAIL, HE SAID, PLEASE DON'T CHANGE IT FROM 10 TO 20.

AND HE SAID THAT THE SPIRIT OF THIS WAS TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM GETTING AROUND THE TEN MINUTE RULE.

SO THAT'S REALLY KIND OF THE CONCLUSION ON THAT AS IT RELATES TO SOME OTHER MATTERS RELATED TO THIS.

I KNOW WHEN THINGS COME UP, SOMETIMES IT'S VERY TEMPTING.

AND FOR ALL OF YOU TO CONTACT THIRD PARTIES INDIVIDUALLY AND TALK TO THEM, AND THAT'S FINE.

THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THAT OUTSIDE OF THE CITY, WHEN YOU DO THAT, SOMETIMES THEY'RE NOT THAT FAMILIAR WITH THE SUNSHINE LAW AND THEY'RE NOT THAT FAMILIAR WITH THEIR LIMITATIONS, AND THEY COULD INADVERTENTLY END UP SERVING AS A CONDUIT.

[01:10:01]

WHEN YOU COMMUNICATE WITH A THIRD PARTY, THEY CAN INADVERTENTLY SHARE WITH SOME WITH ONE OF YOUR OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS IN A FUTURE DISCUSSION WHAT YOU SAID OR WHAT YOUR INTENT IS.

AND THEN NOW YOU HAVE A DELIBERATION ON AN ITEM THAT YOU ABSOLUTELY KNOW IS COMING BEFORE YOU THAT COULD END UP BEING COMPROMISED.

DELIBERATION COULD BE TAKING PLACE OUTSIDE THE SUNSHINE.

SO JUST CAUTIONING YOU ON THAT TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, SOMETIMES THIRD PARTIES THAT AREN'T REALLY THAT IN TUNE WITH THE SUNSHINE LAW DON'T REALIZE THAT THEY CAN'T SHARE THE CONTENTS OF THE CONVERSATION THEY HAVE WITH YOU WITH ANOTHER COUNCIL MEMBER WHEN THEY CALL.

SO BE AWARE OF THAT YOURSELVES WHEN YOU SPEAK TO THEM.

IF THEY BEGIN TO TELL YOU SOMETHING SO THAT YOU CAN AVOID THAT.

BECAUSE I WOULD HATE TO SEE ANYBODY GET CAUGHT BY THAT OR GET IN TROUBLE.

THANK YOU. MAY I? PLEASE. I'M GOING TO LET ROCHELLE GO BECAUSE YOU WERE EXCELLENT.

ROCHELLE HAS BEEN WAITING.

THANK YOU. SO I LOOK AT THIS FROM A LITTLE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE.

AS VICE CHAIR OF THE COUNTY'S WATER TASK FORCE.

MARK ELSNER WAS AT THE MEETING ABOUT A YEAR AGO.

I THINK I MENTIONED WHEN IT CAME UP FOR FIRST READING, WHEN HE FIRST PRESENTED HIS IDEA FOR THIS TO THE TASK FORCE AND THAT THEY WERE GOING TO ESSENTIALLY WRITE AN ORDINANCE THAT THEY WOULD LIKE ALL THE CITIES IN THE COUNTY TO PASS.

IT WAS ABOUT A YEAR BEFORE WE ACTUALLY BROUGHT THIS UP FROM THE TIME IT STARTED.

MOST OF THE COUNTY, THE CITIES IN THE COUNTY HAD ALREADY STARTED TO WORK ON IT.

WHEN I STARTED TO GET SOME LETTERS FROM THE COMMUNITY THIS WEEK AND TODAY, THIS MORNING IN PARTICULAR, I REACHED OUT TO MR. ELSNER TO ASK HIM TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT IT WAS THAT WAS BEING REQUESTED AND AND WHAT DIFFERENCE IT WOULD MAKE. SO HE RESPONDED BACK, AND IT'S PROBABLY THE MOST RECENT CORRESPONDENCE FROM HIM.

AND HE'S ANSWER TO ME WAS THE DISTRICT IS NOT REQUESTING ANY CHANGES TO THE PROPOSED CITIES ORDINANCE.

THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE FOLLOWS THE DISTRICT'S MODEL TEMPLATE ORDINANCE VERY CLOSELY.

IF THE CITY WANTED TO MAKE CHANGES, WE WORKED WITH COUNCILMEMBER TINSLEY ON LANGUAGE THAT WOULD ADDRESS HER CONCERN AND BE AMENABLE TO THE DISTRICT.

AND HE GOES ON TO EXPLAIN TO TO JUST TO LIST IT.

HE SAYS, WE WEREN'T AWARE OF THIS BEING AN ISSUE.

AFTER WORKING WITH ALMOST 90 LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WHO'VE ADOPTED ACCEPTABLE ORDINANCES WITHIN OUR DISTRICT.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I AM AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BEING RAISED.

WAIT. I'M SORRY. HANG ON.

AND THEN CARL WAS WAITING TO GO.

THANK YOU, ROCHELLE. I'M NOT REALLY WAITING TO GO AT ALL BECAUSE I HAVEN'T GOTTEN INTO THE WEEDS ON THIS.

I WAS FINE WITH IT THE WAY IT WAS.

I SOMETIMES WONDER WHY WE GET SO INVOLVED IN LANGUAGE.

WHEN IS IT 90 OTHER COMMUNITIES ADOPTED IT? SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND IT'S WATER CONSERVATION.

I'VE BEEN A COUNCIL MEMBER GOING ON SEVEN YEARS HERE.

I DON'T REMEMBER ANY PROBLEMS WITH WATER CONSUMPTION COMING UP WHERE WE HAD TO ADDRESS IT WITH ORDINANCES.

I LIKE THE DIRECTION IT GOES TO.

TO SUGGEST TO THE COMMUNITIES TO CONSERVE ON WATER WHEN NECESSARY.

AND I THINK TO THE SPIRIT OF THE EXISTING LANGUAGE.

IT'S NOT LIKE IF A COMMUNITY AND EVERY ZONE IS DIFFERENT.

SO I'M NOT GOING TO AGREE WITH IT'S A 30 MINUTE AVERAGE ZONE TO CHECK WHEN I'M SURE SOME ZONES ARE SMALLER THAN OTHERS.

BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT NILES DOES AS OPPOSED TO FRENCHMAN'S CREEK.

SO I'M SURE IF THERE'S A SPRINKLER PROBLEM, THE CITY IS NOT GOING TO COME DOWN ON THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE CHECKING THEIR ZONES TO REPAIR.

SO I'M GOING TO SUPPORT IT AS IT IS.

WE ALREADY DID ONCE.

I DON'T SEE THE THE I DON'T SEE THE THE PURPOSE OF CHANGING THE LANGUAGE TO BE IN DIRECT CONFLICT OF WHAT THE GOAL IS.

INITIALLY. WATER CONSERVATION.

IT'S JUST. YOU KNOW, SO AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW WHY WE'RE GETTING IN THE WEEDS OF IT ALL, BUT I'M GOING TO STICK WITH IT AS IS.

I DON'T WANT THE LANGUAGE CHANGED.

WE HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM IN THE PAST.

IT'S A SUGGESTION ORDINANCE.

IF WE NEED TO HAVE CODE ENFORCEMENT.

ENFORCE IT, THEN IT CAN BE ON A CASE BY CASE NEEDED.

BUT I THINK THAT IF WE SUGGEST THE COMMUNITIES WATCH THEIR WATER CONSUMPTION, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT? SO I DON'T WANT ANY LANGUAGE CHANGE AND I'M GOING TO SUPPORT IT AS IS.

THANK YOU. CALL MARK.

WELL, MY QUESTION IS THIS.

[01:15:02]

I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM MARK GALLOWAY, WHO IS A LANDSCAPE CONTRACTOR.

I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM ANOTHER ONE WHO'S A PATIENT OF MINE WHO DOES WORK IN THE CITY AND ELSEWHERE, AND THEY RAISED THE CONCERN THAT IT'S AN IMPOSSIBILITY TO DO A WATER CHECK IN A LARGE COMMUNITY LIKE BALLAN OR IBIS OR MIRASOL OR WHATEVER.

AND THEY SPECIFICALLY ADDED THAT LANGUAGE THAT MARK PUT IN THE EMAIL.

AND THAT'S WHEN I SENT IT TO RON AND I ASKED RON, IS THERE AN EMAIL THAT HAS MORE INFORMATION ON THIS? AND THEN TODAY AT 3:00, YOU SAID, WELL, WE DON'T WANT TO RISK A SUNSHINE VIOLATION, WHICH IS FINE.

BUT BY THAT TIME I'D ALREADY RECEIVED PRETTY MUCH WHAT I ALREADY KNEW.

WE GOT PHONE CALLS FROM PEOPLE.

IF THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, THEN MAYBE I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.

I DON'T KNOW. NOBODY WANTS TO WASTE WATER AND EVERYBODY'S IN SUPPORT OF WATER CONSERVATION.

BUT IT'S JUST AN EXAMPLE OF HOW THINGS SOMETIMES JUST DON'T GET EXPLAINED PROPERLY IN ADVANCE.

AND THEN WE SHOW UP AT A COUNCIL MEETING AND PEOPLE AREN'T REALLY SURE WHAT THE ANSWER IS.

AND YOU SAY, OKAY, FINE, WE'LL WASH OUR HANDS AND JUST PUT OUR HANDS UNDER A BUTTON, WALK ON.

IT'S NOT THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.

THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH SIMPLER RESOLUTION TO THIS SINCE JULY WHEN THIS ONE DID THIS COME UP IN JUNE? WHEN WAS FIRST READING? SEPTEMBER.

SO IT'S BEEN THREE MONTHS AND THERE HASN'T BEEN A WORD ABOUT IT UNTIL TWO DAYS AGO.

AND AND THAT'S WHAT FRUSTRATES ME ABOUT THIS WHOLE SITUATION, IS THAT, YES, WE WANT WATER, OUR CONSERVATION.

I DO NOT WANT TO PASS AN ORDINANCE IF THERE'S GOING TO BE A POSSIBILITY THAT THERE'S A VIOLATION, EVEN IF IT'S NOT GOING TO BE MONITORED OR IS NOT GOING TO BE PURSUED BY BY THE CITY STAFF.

SO AS LONG AS WE'RE NOT RUNNING THAT RISK, THAT'S FINE.

BUT OBVIOUSLY MORE TRANSPARENCY WOULD HAVE BEEN A NICE THING FROM THE BEGINNING.

OKAY, SO, MARCY, IF YOU COULD SUMMARIZE AND THEN I'LL COME AROUND.

OBVIOUSLY, I DON'T HAVE THE VOTES, WHICH I UNDERSTAND, AND I RESPECT YOU GUYS, OF COURSE, BUT I DO WANT TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR THAT WHEN I SPOKE TO MARK, HE SAID THAT HE NEVER INTENDED IT TO BE SOMETHING FOR THESE LARGE COMMON AREAS.

HE MADE A COMMENT TO ME AND I'M I WOULD RATHER POSTPONE UNTIL ANOTHER MEETING SO WE CAN CLARIFY.

BUT NONETHELESS, HE SAID THAT THE INTENTION WAS FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND DUPLEXES, NOT FOR LARGE COMMON AREAS, WHICH IS WHY HE ADDED THAT DEFINITION.

WHEN I TOLD HIM IT WAS NOT JUST MY CONCERN, IT WAS A CONCERN OF THE LANDSCAPE PROFESSIONALS.

IT WAS A CONCERN OF OUR HOMES.

AND YES, IT COULD ALSO BE FOR OUR LARGE DEVELOPERS, THE DEVELOPERS THAT HAVE COME HAVE DONALD ROSS VILLAGE OR AVENIR COMMERCIAL, BECAUSE FOR THEM TOO, THEY HAVE A LOT OF ZONES THAT ARE IN COMMON AREAS, NOT JUST IN THEIR LITTLE AREAS.

AND SO THOSE PEOPLE THAT HAVE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, YES, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO ADHERE TO THIS LANGUAGE BETTER.

AND THE CONSERVATION, THE GOAL WAS TO USE THE WATER RESTRICTED RESTRICTION CONSERVATIONS LIKE WHEN WE'RE IN A DROUGHT ALL THE TIME.

AND THAT'S MOSTLY FOR LIKE THE PLANTS AND THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.

AND I UNDERSTAND THIRD PARTY CONVERSATIONS VERY WELL.

AND I WILL ASSURE YOU THAT THERE WAS ZERO SUNSHINE LAW BROKEN AND SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT OF ALL PEOPLE, THEY ARE VERY MUCH AWARE OF THE SUNSHINE LAW.

SO TALKING TO THEM IS NOT AN ISSUE.

THEY KNOW WHEN NOT TO SHARE THINGS WITH EVERYBODY.

WEST I SPOKE WITH MARK AS WELL TOO, AND HE DIDN'T MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT YOU.

HE SAID HE DID SEND AN EMAIL TO THIS.

SO I WANT TO MAKE THAT VERY CLEAR.

AND WEST PALM BEACH SAID THAT THEY WERE CONSIDERING THEY WOULD CONSIDER A CHANGE.

WHEN I SPOKE TO A COUNCIL PERSON IN WEST PALM BEACH AND IBIS DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT WEST PALM BEACH PASSED THIS ORDINANCE.

AND NOW IF WE WERE TO PASS IT, THEY WOULD ASK FOR THEIRS TO BE CHANGED, TO EXCLUDE IT AS WELL.

SO WE'RE ALWAYS ON THE CUTTING EDGE.

I KNOW WE SAY WE ALWAYS COMPARE OURSELVES TO OTHER MUNICIPALITIES WHEN IT'S CONVENIENT FOR US, BUT WE'RE NOT DOING THAT WITH ANOTHER ORDINANCE THAT'S COMING UP. SO WHY DO WE HAVE TO? WHY CAN'T WE BE UNIQUE? WE'RE ALWAYS ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF ORDINANCES.

WE'RE ON THE CUTTING EDGE.

[01:20:01]

WE'RE TRAILBLAZERS.

SO JUST BECAUSE WE JUST DON'T WANT TO BE UNIQUE TO THAT LANGUAGE, YOU WANT TO INSERT AND THAT'S FINE JUST BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE.

ALL RIGHT, I'M JUST GOING TO I LET'S, LET'S BRING IT AND THEN THAT'S ALL I'M THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

IT WAS ONLY A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WE WE BANNED I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT THE CONVERSATION ON THE THE CONSERVATION END OF IT.

SORRY. YEAH.

CONFETTI. YOU CAN'T GET A CUP AT OUR GOLF COURSE.

THERE'S NO PLASTICS OR ANYTHING.

SO. SO THIS IS JUST ANOTHER TREND WITH THE LANGUAGE THAT'S IN PLACE FOR CONSERVATION.

I DON'T SEE THE BIG DEAL OF IT.

I'M HAPPY WITH CONSERVATION.

I LOVE CONSERVATION. I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT, I THINK, SOMETHING THAT OUR COMMUNITIES CAN ADHERE TO.

OF COURSE, NOW I'M GOING TO CALL A VOTE.

I GET TO SAY SOMETHING REAL QUICK AND THEN, MAX, DO YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING BEFORE I CLOSE IT OUT? WELL, YOU HAVE YOU HAVE A SUBSTITUTION.

YOU HAVE A SUBSTITUTE MOTION THAT'S BEEN MADE AND SECONDED, AND THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION IS NOT WITHDRAW.

THEN YOU HAVE TO TAKE A VOTE ON THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION FIRST.

ALL RIGHT. THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION WAS A MOTION TO ADOPT THE ORDINANCE WITH THE AMENDED LANGUAGE.

IT DID NOT RECEIVE A SECOND, IS IT? HEAR THAT? OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

SO, YEAH, LET'S VOTE ON THAT.

SO I'LL BRING THAT BACK.

SOMEONE CAN UNLESS YOU WANT TO REMOVE THAT THAT LANGUAGE.

WELL, IF I DON'T HAVE THREE, THEN THEN NO, I THINK YOU STILL HAVE TO VOTE ON IT.

JUST KEEP UP TO VOTE. JUST KEEP IT CLEAN AND VOTE ON IT ALL.

I'M GOING TO WAIT, PLEASE.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO, PROCEDURE'S WHAT I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR.

SO PLEASE, LET'S JUST. PLEASE LET ME DO THAT.

ALL RIGHT? SO IF YOUR CHOICES ARE THIS, YOU CAN THE EITHER THE SECOND ERG CAN WITHDRAW THEIR SECOND, THE MOTION MAKER CAN WITHDRAW THEIR MOTION, OR YOU HAVE TO CALL THE QUESTION IF YOU VOTE ON THIS, IF YOU VOTE IN FAVOR, YOU'RE VOTING FOR THE ORDINANCE TO BE APPROVED IN SECOND READING WITH THE AMENDED LANGUAGE.

IF YOU VOTE AGAINST IT, YOU'RE VOTING FOR THE ORDINANCE.

YOU'RE VOTING AGAINST THAT AMENDMENT.

THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION.

I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR SO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE AT.

APPRECIATE THAT. THIS IS COUNCILMEMBER WHO.

SECOND, WOULD YOU LIKE TO WITHDRAW YOUR SECOND? MAYBE. MARCY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO CAST THE VOTE? OR DO YOU WANT TO WITHDRAW? YOU CAN CAST THE VOTE.

ALL RIGHT, SO LET'S JUST.

YEAH, I. I WILL.

I WILL SAY MY QUICK PIECE AND KEEP IT CALM AND CIVIL.

I THINK THE CONCERN ABOUT THIS IS IS ALSO, ASIDE FROM LANGUAGE, THE DEFINITION OF AN ORDINANCE.

AND THERE ARE TWO EXAMPLES THAT I WANT TO BRING UP WHEN YOU START TALKING ABOUT BEING IN VIOLATION.

ONE IS, FOR EXAMPLE, HAVING ALCOHOL IN A PARK.

I HAVE A FEELING IF I WENT TO A PARK WITH THIS THAT YOU CAN'T HAVE IT.

IF IT HAD, IT DOES NOT HAVE ITS WATER.

BUT IF IT HAD, IF IT HAD ALCOHOL IN IT, IT WOULD ACTUALLY REQUIRE SOMEONE COMING UP AND CHECKING THAT TO SEE IF I WAS WITHIN THE ORDINANCE OR WHEN ANY OF OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS UP HERE MIGHT GO FIVE MILES OVER THE SPEED LIMIT.

WE'RE BREAKING THE LAW.

RIGHT. BUT THERE'S IT HAPPENS.

BUT THERE'S IT HAPPENS THERE.

SPEEDING SOMETIMES IT'S THE SAME.

IT'S SIMILAR. IT'S SIMILAR.

I'M NOT SAYING IT'S THE SAME.

I THINK THAT.

THE MINUTIA REQUIRED IN THIS.

IT ALREADY GOES BEYOND IF IBIS DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THIS BEING PASSED.

IF YOU GO TO THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT WEBSITE, IT IS NOTHING BUT PAGES AND PAGES OF EDUCATION FOR COMMUNITY.

SO THEY REALLY ARE TRYING TO GET THE INFORMATION OUT THERE.

I WAS DISAPPOINTED TO HEAR IBIS DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT.

THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB AND I AM 100% FOR WATER CONSERVATION.

SO WITH THAT I WILL GO AHEAD AND CALL A VOTE.

SO THIS VOTE PER MAXIS INSTRUCTION, AND YOU CAN CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG, IS REGARDING THE NEW MOTION WITH THE NEW LANGUAGE.

THAT IS CORRECT. A VOTE IN FAVOR IS A VOTE TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE WITH THE SUGGESTED AMENDMENT.

OKAY. ALL IN FAVOR.

ALL RIGHT. ALL OPPOSED.

I SEE. ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. SO MOTION DOES NOT PASS.

3 TO 2.

TO 2 TO 3. THANK YOU.

AND SO DO WE BRING IT BACK AGAIN FOR THE ORIGINAL ORDINANCE? THAT IS CORRECT. YOU WOULD VOTE ON THE ORIGINAL MOTION.

ALL RIGHT, SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE ON THE ORIGINAL MOTION.

ALL IN FAVOR OF ORDINANCE NINE 2022 FOR SECOND READING IS WRITTEN BY I AND HE OPPOSED.

ALL RIGHT. MOTION PASSES.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE MOVING ON TO ORDINANCE TEN, 2022.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I'M GOING TO OPEN THE HEARING.

DO WE HAVE ANY EX PARTE ON RESOLUTION 65, THE FRENCHMAN'S CREPE CLUBHOUSE? I DO. I HAVE AN EXPERT.

I SPOKE TO JANE FEINSTEIN, BERNIE, POSSIBLY DIANE, THE NEW PRESIDENT AND THE NEW MANAGER, MILES.

I HAVE THE SAME EXPERT.

I SPOKE TO THE SAME FOLKS.

GOSH, PROBABLY IN JUNE.

I CAN'T REMEMBER THE DATE. I HAVEN'T BEEN DOWN SOMEWHERE, BUT IT'S BEEN A WHILE.

YEAH. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT.

SO LET'S GO AHEAD. WE HAVE BRIAN DONAHUE FROM INSIDE STUDIO FOR THE PRESENTATION, PLEASE.

THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. I'M BRIAN DONAHUE WITH INSIGHT STUDIO, WHERE THE LAND PLANNERS AND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS WORKING WITH FRENCHMAN'S CREEK ON THEIR PROJECT, I'M JOINED BY BERNIE PURCELL, THE ASSISTANT MANAGER, MILES TUCKER, THE GENERAL MANAGER, AND SANTIAGO GONZALEZ IS THE FACILITIES DIRECTOR AT FRENCHMAN'S CREEK.

WE'RE EXCITED TO BE HERE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT.

THIS HAS BEEN A LONG PROCESS FOR FRENCHMAN'S CREEK.

THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON TRYING TO COME UP WITH A PLAN FOR A NEW CLUBHOUSE AND WE'RE FINALLY THERE.

SO THIS IS THE LAST STEP.

SO WE'RE EXCITED TO PRESENT TO YOU.

WE'RE AMENDING THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED PCD SITE PLAN FOR FRENCHMAN'S CREEK.

THE CLUBHOUSE HAS BEEN DEMOLISHED AT THIS POINT, SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE BUILDING A NEW 93,000 SQUARE FOOT CLUBHOUSE IN THE SAME PLACE, BASICALLY ABOUT 12,000 SQUARE FEET OF OUTDOOR DINING RECONFIGURATION OF THE SITE FOR THE RECREATION AMENITIES, MORE EFFICIENT PARKING LAYOUT, NEW COURTS, PICKLEBALL TENNIS COURTS

[01:35:06]

FRENCHMAN'S CREEK IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF ALTERNATE ONE AND DONALD ROSS ROAD.

THERE ON THE SCREEN YOU SEE HIGHLIGHTED IN THE CENTER OF THE CLUBHOUSE PARCEL.

ZOOM IN THERE. SO THE RED BOUNDARY THAT SHOWS ON THE SCREEN GENERALLY DEFINES THE OVERALL CLUBHOUSE PARCEL AND AMENITY TRACK.

THE SHADED AREA IS THE AREA THAT WE'RE IMPACTING WITH THIS APPLICATION.

THE PORTION TO THE SOUTH THERE, THAT'S THE EXISTING FITNESS AND SPA BUILDING AND POOL THAT WILL REMAIN AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT YOU SEE HIGHLIGHTED WILL BE IMPACTED.

HERE'S AN AERIAL VIEW FROM THE SOUTH LOOKING TO THE NORTH OF THE EXISTING BUILDING SHOW IN THE AREA THAT WILL BE IMPACTED.

AND HERE'S A VIEW FROM THE NORTH LOOKING SOUTH OF THE EXISTING CLUBHOUSE VIEW FROM THE SOUTH, AGAIN, FROM THE GOLF COURSE, LOOKING TO THE NORTH.

THIS IS THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SITE PLAN, JUST WHAT THE CITY HAS ON FILE, BLACK AND WHITE VERSION OF IT.

THIS IS THE PROPOSED CLUBHOUSE AND HAVE A COLORED GRAPHIC OF THAT TO GIVE A LITTLE BETTER EXPLANATION.

SO THE CLUBHOUSE DOES GO BACK TWO STORIES IN THE SAME LOCATION, SIMILAR TO HOW IT SETS UP TODAY.

YOU'LL ENTER ON THE SECOND FLOOR, YOU'LL GO UP THE HILL TO THE VALET, ENTER ON THE SECOND FLOOR, PARKING AREAS, FLANKED ON BOTH SIDES.

NEW COURTS, TEN PICKLEBALL COURTS AND TEN TENNIS.

TEN NEW TENNIS COURTS.

FOUR RESURFACE TENNIS COURTS.

AS I MENTIONED, THE FITNESS FACILITY ON THE SOUTHEAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY STAYS AND THEN YOU HAVE A LARGE CART PARKING AREA ON THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF THE PROPERTY.

AND THEN THE GOLF COURSE IS NOT IMPACTED.

THIS IS A VIEW OF THE NEW ENTRY PROCESSION.

SO NICE NEW LANDSCAPING MEDJOOL DATE PALMS LINING THE ENTRYWAY UP TO THE NEW PORTICO CHAIR, NEW MODERNIZED, SOMEWHAT TRANSITIONAL ARCHITECTURAL STYLE.

SO KIND OF BRING IN INFRINGEMENTS CREEK INTO THE MORE MORE CURRENT LOOK WITH THE ARCHITECTURAL STYLE NEW LANDSCAPING, NEW DROP OFF PORTICO AREA.

HERE'S A VIEW FROM THE REAR OF THE BUILDING LOOKING FROM THE GOLF COURSE.

THIS IS A VIEW FROM THE WEST SIDE, FROM THE PARKING AREA.

AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S GOING TO BE HEAVILY LANDSCAPED AND A VIEW FROM THE TENNIS PORTION OF THE SITE LOOKING TO THE EAST SIDE OF THE CLUBHOUSE.

HERE ARE THE ARCHITECTURAL ELEVATIONS NORTH ELEVATION ON THE TOP OF THE SCREEN AND SOUTH ELEVATION ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.

WEST ELEVATION AND EAST ELEVATION THERE AND THE ARCHITECTURAL FLOORPLANS.

I WON'T GET INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL, BUT THE PRIMARY FUNCTION OF THE UPPER LEVEL IS REMEMBER DINING AREAS.

SO THE EAST SIDE IS PRIMARILY BALLROOM LARGE FUNCTIONS.

THE TOP OF THE SCREEN IS THE SPORTS BAR, WHICH IS AN OUTDOOR DINING VENUE.

AND THEN TO THE LEFT SIDE THERE IS MORE PRIVATE DINING, A PRIVATE GRILL ROOM, AND THEN YOU'VE GOT SOME KITCHEN SPACE.

AND THEN ON THE LOWER LEVEL, YOU'VE GOT YOUR MEN'S AND WOMEN'S LOCKER ROOMS, YOUR GOLF, TENNIS, PRO SHOP, A LOT OF BACK OF HOUSE OPERATIONS DOWN THERE, OFFICE SPACE ADMINISTRATION AND SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS.

SO THERE ARE SEVERAL SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE WITH THE APPLICATION.

ENERGY EFFICIENT MECHANICAL AND HVAC SYSTEMS WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO THE BUILDING.

THERE ARE TWO EV CHARGING STATIONS THAT ARE INCORPORATED FOR ELECTRICAL CARS AND POTENTIALLY MORE THAT MAY BE ADDED OVER THE YEARS.

WE'RE PROVIDING AN AMPLE AMOUNT OF GOLF CART PARKING, WHICH IS ONE OF THE PRIMARY MODES OF TRANSPORTATION WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.

SO THAT'LL GIVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR MORE PEOPLE TO USE THEIR GOLF CARTS.

A LOT OF NATIVE PLANT SPECIES TO REDUCE THE IRRIGATION REQUIREMENTS AND LED LIGHTING THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING AND THROUGHOUT THE SITE.

THE PROJECT WAS APPROVED BY A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE COMMUNITY MEMBERSHIP IN NOVEMBER OF 2021 AND IT WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED A RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AT THE HEARING LAST MONTH FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD.

THANK YOU. I'LL OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. DO WE? I THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO I THINK, OLIVIA, YOU'RE HERE FOR STAFF.

DO WE HAVE A STAFF PRESENTATION AS WELL? THE INFORMATION WOULD BE DUPLICATIVE AT THIS POINT.

STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 65.

THERE ARE NO REQUESTED WAIVERS WITH THIS PETITION.

OH, AND IT WAS APPROVED, AS THE APPLICANT MENTIONED.

ZONING BOARD. OKAY, EXCELLENT.

GREAT. LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.

SO LET'S MOVE ALONG THEN.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY COMMENT CARDS.

AND SO I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE HEARING.

MAY I GET A MOTION IN A SECOND TO APPROVE, PLEASE? I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 65, 2022.

ALL SECOND. EXCELLENT.

ALL RIGHT, MARCY, YOU MADE THE MOTION.

YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND TALK ABOUT IT? I THINK IT'S YOUR QUESTION. I'VE BEEN WAITING TO SEE THIS FOR A VERY LONG TIME, SINCE THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON THE COUNCIL.

SO I KNOW THEY'VE TALKED ABOUT IT.

I KNOW THEY'VE PLANNED FOR THIS FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

AND I KNOW ALL THE RESIDENTS ARE VERY EXCITED TO SEE THIS COME TO FRUITION.

SO GREAT JOB.

THE DESIGN IS BEAUTIFUL AND I CAN'T WAIT TO COME TO THE GRAND OPENING OF THIS NEW FACILITY.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS CARE TO SPEAK.

ROCHELLE, I HAVE A QUESTION.

IT MAY HAVE TO GO TO BERNIE.

I'M NOT SURE I'M EXCITED FOR FRENCHMAN'S.

[01:40:02]

AND I KNOW YOU ADDED EXTRA PARKING SPACES TO MAKE THINGS EASIER.

MY QUESTION IS WITH THE BALLROOM AND THE ENTERTAINMENT SPACES, HOW OFTEN ARE THEY USED BY OUTSIDERS COMING IN? CAN YOU RENT THE BALLROOM OR IS ALL OF THE BALLROOM AND ENTERTAINMENT ACTIVITY DONE FROM THE RESIDENTS? IT DOESN'T SAY, HEY, BERNIE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE YOU GET SWORN IN REAL QUICK, I THINK.

AND BERNIE POSSIBLY FROM FRENCHMAN'S CREEK.

WHERE ARE YOU SWORN IN? NO.

OKAY. LET'S GO AHEAD AND TAKE CARE OF THAT REAL QUICK.

DO YOU SOLEMNLY SWEAR TO TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH SO HELP YOU GOD? I DO. NAME, NAME AND ADDRESS.

ARNIE PORCELLI, 4518, ELYSIUM DRIVE.

THANK YOU. WHICH THE PRESENCE CREEK IS.

STRUCTURE IS A PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION IS.

BECAUSE OF THAT, WE CANNOT ALLOW OUTSIDE PEOPLE TO USE THE FACILITY.

SO ONLY THE FACILITIES CAN ONLY BE USED BY MEMBERS, THEIR GUESTS AND FAMILY.

SO WE HAVE NO OUTSIDE OUTINGS, NO OUTSIDE WEDDINGS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

ALL THE FACILITIES ARE USED STRICTLY BY OUR MEMBERS.

OKAY. THE REASON I WAS ASKING THAT QUESTION WAS TO SEE HOW MANY OF THE CARS OR THE GOLF CARTS WOULD BE THERE OR HOW MANY EXTRA CARS WOULD BE COMING IN, BUT THERE WON'T BE MANY.

SO THE NUMBER OF CHARGING STATIONS YOU HAVE IS TWO THAT ARE THEY DOUBLE SIDED? THAT'S FOUR CARS OR IT'D BE FOUR FOUR CARS.

AND IN THE FUTURE, THEY'RE CERTAINLY OPEN TO ADDING MORE AS MORE MEMBERS HAVE ELECTRIC VEHICLES.

NOW, MOST OF YOUR MEMBERS, IF ONE OF THE FEW COMMUNITIES WHERE WHERE THE MEMBERS REALLY DO USE THE GOLF CARTS.

RIGHT. SO.

IT'S NOT AS MUCH OF AN ISSUE FOR YOU GUYS AS IT IS IN OTHER PLACES.

ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON DOWN, MARCH.

CONGRATULATIONS. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES THE COPS HAD TO GET CALLED OUT FOR MEMBERS FIGHTING EACH OTHER OUT THERE.

BUT GRATEFULLY, YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY AND A WONDERFUL BUILDING, AND THAT MATCHES EVERYTHING ELSE GOING ON IN OUR CITY.

SO I'M PROUD OF YOU GUYS AND I'M EXCITED TO SEE THE COMMUNITY JUST IMPROVE.

GOOD JOB. ALL RIGHT, CARL.

HOW BIG IS THIS PLACE? HOW BIG IS THE BUILDING? INTERIOR.

ABOUT 93,000 SQUARE FEET.

AND THEN THERE'S ABOUT 12,000 SQUARE FOOT OF OUTDOOR PATIO SPACE.

OKAY, SO YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW EASY WE ALL GOT OFF TONIGHT.

THERE HAS BEEN DEVELOPERS THAT WOULD BE UP THERE FOR 2 HOURS ON THIS, AND THEN WE'D GO AFTER THEM ON CHARGING STATIONS FOR ANOTHER 2 HOURS, AND IT WOULD BE SATURDAY AFTERNOON BEFORE WE GOT OUT OF HERE.

SO IF MY COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE GOOD WITH THE CHARGING STATIONS AND I USUALLY CHAMPION, BUT IF MY TEAM'S HAPPY WITH THE CHARGING STATIONS, YOUR PRESENTATION WAS STREAMLINED.

I APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE A LOT OF CHITTER CHATTER.

WE GET TO IT AND WE WE'VE ALREADY SEEN IT.

WE'RE EDUCATED IN IT. SO I APPRECIATE THAT.

I'M GOING TO SUPPORT IT.

LOOKS LIKE EVERYBODY'S HAPPY AND FOOTBALL STARTS IN ABOUT 45 MINUTES.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

YES, IT DOES. OH, IT DOES.

EVERY THURSDAY. OH, MY GOODNESS.

ALL RIGHT. ANYWAY, I LIKE IT.

WELL DONE, AND I'M GOOD WITH IT.

THANKS. THANKS. THANK YOU, CARL.

YEAH, WE WE DO.

WE DO LOVE SUSTAINABILITY AROUND HERE, SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

BUT YES, SINCE YOU'RE HAVING YOUR RESIDENTS WHO PROBABLY HAVE SUPER, SUPER CHARGERS IN THEIR GARAGES READY TO GO, IT MAKES SENSE.

THE ONLY THING I WANT TO DO IS CONGRATULATE YOU ON CONGRATULATE YOUR TEAM ON HAVING GRACE DURING THIS PROCESS.

I'VE GOTTEN TO GO OUT AND SEE WHAT WHAT YOU'RE WORKING WITH THE LAST YEAR OR TWO, AND IT'S STILL FELT LIKE FRENCHMAN'S, WHICH IS REALLY HARD WHEN YOU'RE IN A TENT, BUT YOU GUYS DID IT. SO THANK YOU AND THANK YOU FOR WORKING SO WELL WITH OUR STAFF AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO VISITING.

WE WON'T HAVE A WEDDING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT WE'LL JUST COME AND VISIT AND THEN WE'LL LEAVE.

SO LET'S MARK AND I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT ON THE GOLF COURSE.

I'M SURE WE CAN ARRANGE THAT, BUT NOT ON A THURSDAY EVENING, OBVIOUSLY.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL WAIT FOR THIS TO BE DONE.

LET'S CALL IT. SO ALL IN FAVOR, I AND HE OPPOSED NO MOTION PASSES.

FIVE ZERO. CONGRATULATIONS.

THANKS SO MUCH. HAVE A GREAT EVENING.

MOVING ON TO RESOLUTION 6620 22.

COULD MY AGENDA COORDINATOR PLEASE READ THE TITLE?

[VIII.h. *RESOLUTION 66, 2022 – SITE PLAN WITHIN THE AVENIR PLANNED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (PCD). A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA, APPROVING A SITE PLAN FOR A 250-UNIT RESIDENTIAL TOWNHOME SUBDIVISION ON APPROXIMATELY 32.83 ACRES WITHIN THE TOWN CENTER DISTRICT (PARCEL B) OF THE AVENIR PLANNED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (PCD) MASTER PLAN THAT IS GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF NORTHLAKE BOULEVARD, EAST OF GRAPEVIEW BOULEVARD, WEST OF BAY HILL DRIVE, AND SOUTH OF BEELINE HIGHWAY, AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HEREIN; PROVIDING WAIVERS; PROVIDING CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.]

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA, APPROVING A SITE PLAN FOR A 250 UNIT RESIDENTIAL TOWNHOME SUBDIVISION ON APPROXIMATELY 32.83 ACRES WITHIN THE TOWN CENTER DISTRICT PARCEL B OF THE AVENUE OR PLANNED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PCD MASTER PLAN THAT IS GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF NORTH LAKE BOULEVARD, EAST OF BRIGHTVIEW BOULEVARD, WEST OF

[01:45:06]

THANK YOU, RENATA. ALL RIGHT, SO I'M GOING TO OPEN THE HEARING, PLEASE.

LET'S DECLARE PARTE.

MARCY, DO YOU HAVE ONE? ANY EX PARTE? JUST ROSA SCHECTER.

ALL RIGHT. AND, CARL, DO YOU HAVE ANY EX PARTE, MARK? NO. ROCHELLE. AS MUCH AS I TRIED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ROSA AND CONNECT, WE NEVER DID, SO.

NO. OKAY.

AND I DON'T ABOUT THIS.

I THINK THE LAST TIME I SPOKE WITH ROSA WAS NOT ABOUT THIS AT ALL.

SO TONIGHT WE HAVE KEN TOUMA FROM URBAN DESIGN STUDIO.

MR. TOUMA, HAVE YOU BEEN SWORN IN? I HAVE. GOOD EVENING.

GOOD EVENING. KEN TOMB WITH URBAN DESIGN STUDIO.

AND I BELIEVE THE FOOTBALL GAME STARTS AT 815.

SO WE'RE DOWN TO 29 MINUTES FOR ME TO KEEP MOVING VERY QUICKLY.

COUNCILMEMBER WOODS SO SO JUST TO KIND OF KICK THINGS OFF THIS EVENING, I JUST I ELIMINATED 15 SLIDES FROM FROM THE PRESENTATION THAT WAS IN FRONT OF THE PLANNING BOARD OR THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD.

BUT JUST REAL QUICK, WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU THIS EVENING IS AVENUE TOWNHOMES.

THIS IS 250 TOWNHOMES THAT ARE ON THAT IS PART OF THE NORTH PART OF THE TOWN CENTER.

AND IF YOU RECALL, YOU APPROVED A TOWN CENTER A FEW MONTHS AGO.

THE TOWN CENTER IS REALLY THREE PHASES.

THE FIRST TWO PHASES ARE THE COMMERCIAL COMPONENT, WHERE YOU APPROVED THE PROPOSED GROCERY STORE AND THEN ALSO THE MAIN STREET THAT GOES UP AND DOWN, WHICH IS CALLED THE PREMIER STREET. AND THEN THE SECOND PART WILL BE THE SECOND PHASE OF THAT TOWN CENTER, WHICH IS THE OFFICE BUILDINGS WHICH ARE DOWN THE ROAD A BIT.

AND THEN THE THIRD PHASE, WHICH IS ONE WHICH IS IN FRONT OF YOU THIS EVENING, ARE THE TOWNHOMES WHICH BRING THE LIFE AND VIABILITY TO THE CENTER.

THERE ARE 250 HOMES PROPOSED AND THEY'RE TIED TO THE MAIN STREET.

I HAVE ABOUT TEN SLIDES.

I'M GOING TO GO VERY QUICKLY THIS EVENING BECAUSE WE HAVE TWO ITEMS. AVENUE OR POD 20 IS NEXT.

SO YOU'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THE SITE.

IT'S LOCATED AT THE NORTH END OF THE TOWN.

CENTER AVENUE WAS APPROVED BACK IN 2016.

AND THE TOWN CENTER, THE COMMERCIAL COMPONENT WAS APPROVED HERE IN 2022.

THE SUBJECT CITED THE SUBJECT REQUEST THAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU.

THERE ARE FOUR ITEMS WITHIN THAT.

IT'S OVERALL SITE PLAN APPROVAL, BUT THERE ARE ARCHITECTURAL RENDERINGS BECAUSE THE TOWNHOMES ARE INCORPORATED IN THE DESIGN.

ARCHITECTURAL RATINGS ARE PART OF IT.

THE SITE LANDSCAPING IS PART OF THE APPROVAL, AND THERE ARE FIVE WAIVERS.

THOSE WAIVERS ARE WAIVERS PRIMARILY TO THE DESIGN GUIDELINES.

SO THE SITE PLAN, JUST QUICKLY WALKING THROUGH THE SITE PLAN, THIS IS A KIND OF IN THE BIG PICTURE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.

YOU APPROVE SITE PLAN NUMBER ONE, WHICH ARE THE RESIDENTIAL HOMES ALL AROUND WHERE WE HAVE LOTS OF RESIDENTS LIVING IN HOMES HAVE BEEN MOVED INTO.

AND THEN THIS IS A TOWN CENTER, WHICH YOU APPROVED A FEW MONTHS AGO.

AND THEN FINALLY, THIS IS THE TOWNHOMES, A LITTLE BIT MORE BLOW UP JUST SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE HOW EVERYTHING'S RELATING TOGETHER.

THIS HERE IS THE PREMIER STREET AND IF I CAN.

THIS HERE IS THE IS THE MAIN STREET OR THE PREMIER STREET, AND YOU'LL NOTE THAT IT GOES RIGHT DOWN THE CENTER OF THE TOWN CENTER.

BUT THEN IT ALSO GOES TO THE MAIN ENTRANCE OF THE TOWNHOMES.

AND THEN THE ROAD THAT GOES THROUGH THE TOWNHOMES CONTINUES THROUGH STRAIGHT AND THEN IT TERMINATES WITHIN A LAKE PAVILION.

SO THE IDEA WAS TO KIND OF MAKE THAT NICE, GREAT CONNECTION.

THE OTHER THING THAT THIS SLIDE SHOWS IS THE INTERCONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THE TWO.

THESE GREEN SPACES ARE ACTUAL WALKWAYS AND SIDEWALK CONNECTIONS SO PEOPLE CAN WALK BOTH FROM THEIR UNITS BUT ALSO THROUGH THE COMMUNITY INTO THE TOWN CENTER.

THESE ARE THE LARGE GREEN SPACES THAT YOU APPROVED WITHIN THE TOWN CENTER.

AND THEN ALSO WE HAD THE MAIN PEDESTRIAN AREA THAT WENT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE ENTIRE TOWN CENTER.

SO THAT'S HOW IT ALL KIND OF TIES TOGETHER.

I'M GOING TO WALK YOU THROUGH A LITTLE BIT MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS ON THIS SITE PLAN.

THE SITE PLAN HAS THREE ACCESS POINTS, AND THE OVERALL ACCESS POINTS HERE ARE IDENTIFIED ON THE BY THE RED ARROWS ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU.

250 HOMES.

NOW, THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF PRODUCTS.

WELL, INTERESTING ENOUGH, THERE ARE TWO BUILDERS ON THIS SITE.

SO THERE ARE TWO.

SO THERE ARE TWO ARCHITECTS IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WILL BE ABLE TO TWO DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURAL STYLES IN THE AUDIENCE WHO'LL BE ABLE TO TALK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ARCHITECTURE. BUT THE WHAT WE HAVE THOUGH, FROM A DESIGN STANDPOINT, THERE'S TWO TYPES OF PRODUCTS.

THERE'S A FRONT ROW, FRONT LOAD TOWNHOME, WHICH IS YOUR STANDARD TOWNHOME WHERE YOU HAVE THE GARAGE AND THE DOOR ON ONE SIDE.

AND THEN THERE ARE REAR LOAD TOWNHOMES WHERE YOU HAVE A FRONT OF THE BUILDING AND THEN IN THE BACK YOU HAVE THE GARAGE, KIND OF LIKE WHAT YOU SEE ABACO OR EVERGREEN, WHERE YOU HAVE THE LARGE HOUSE, THAT KIND OF DESIGN CONCEPT.

SO THIS IS NOT A GATED COMMUNITY DIFFERENT THAN EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ELSE IN AVENIR, THERE'S FULL ACCESS TO THE ENTIRE PROJECT.

THERE ARE EIGHT FOOT SIDEWALKS COMING DOWN THE MAIN ROAD, MAKING THE CONNECTION.

THE ROADS ARE A LITTLE MORE NARROWER TO CREATE THIS NICE STREETSCAPE AS PROPOSED.

UM, HERE ARE THE ENTRY FEATURES.

THE FIRST ENTRY FEATURE ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU IS THE MAIN ENTRY FEATURE, A SIGNIFICANT ENTRY FEATURE.

[01:50:04]

COURSE IT HAS. YOU LAID ON IT BECAUSE IT'S PART OF AVENIR.

THERE ARE BRACKETS AND GAZEBO FEATURES.

AND THEN ANOTHER COMMON THEME HERE IS THIS POWDER COATED RAILING.

YOU'LL NOTE THAT THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROJECT THAT THAT POWDER COAT RAILING IS CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE THEME OF THE ENTIRE PROJECT.

MR. CANTILLON DESIGNED THAT.

HE'S IN THE AUDIENCE THIS EVENING, AND IT'S BEEN A PRETTY COOL DESIGN THEME TO KEEP IT THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROJECT.

SO THAT WAS THE MAIN ENTRANCE.

THERE ARE ALSO ENTRANCES AT EACH ENDS ON THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT HAND SIDE COMING INTO THE PROJECT.

THIS IS COCONUT BOULEVARD HERE ON THE LEFT.

AND THIS IS TOWN CENTER ACCESS ROAD HERE ON THE RIGHT.

AND THIS IS THE PROJECT ENTRANCE SIGN TO HAVE THE PROJECT NAME, THEN KIND OF THIS RAILING, THIS POWDER COATED RAILING CONNECTION AND THEN THIS LOWER LEVEL OF LANDSCAPING.

THE FINAL ENTRY FEATURES ARE THE ONES THAT DEFINE THE PROJECT.

SO THE SETTLER OR TWO BUILDERS, LEFT HAND SIDE OR WEST SIDE IS ONE BUILDER.

RIGHT HAND SIDE IS A DIFFERENT BUILDER.

SO IT'LL BE A PROJECT NAME FOR EACH ONE OF THOSE.

AND YOU CAN SEE THIS, THE PROJECT SIGN WALL IN FRONT OF YOU.

THE CENTER STREET, KIND OF THE MAIN DRAG THROUGH THE COMMUNITY COMING OFF THE MAIN DRIVE OF THE TOWN CENTER.

SO HERE I IDENTIFIED IT.

YOU'LL NOTE THAT IT TERMINATES ON AN EIGHT ON THE LAKE PAVILION AREA.

THERE ARE EIGHT FOOT SIDEWALKS AND IT CONNECTS ALL THE WAY HERE.

BUT THIS CREATES A NICE STREETSCAPE VIEW OF A FOCUS KIND OF ON THE PEDESTRIAN VIEW.

THIS IS ACTUALLY A VIEW OF THE TOWN ALONG TOWN CENTER DRIVE, WHICH IS THIS ROADWAY RIGHT HERE.

THAT VIEW, YOU CAN SEE HOW THE BUILDINGS, THESE REAR LOADED BUILDINGS HAVE THE NICE STREETSCAPE WHERE YOU COULD SEE IN THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A KNEE WALL, THERE'S GATES, THERE'S SCONCES, AND THEN YOU HAVE THIS NICE TWO STOREY ARCHITECTURE WITH THE FRONT DOOR ON ONE SIDE.

AND THE BACK IS WHERE THE GARAGES ARE THE SAME THING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD.

THE DIFFERENCE A LITTLE BIT, A DIFFERENT STYLE OF ARCHITECTURE, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE HOW THE HOUSE IS, HOW THE FRONT DOORS ARE FRONTING, AND THEN BEHIND IT ARE THE ARE THE GARAGES. THE INTENT OF THIS IS TO SHOW THAT THE MAIN STREET WILL HAVE THESE BUILDINGS THAT ARE BROUGHT CLOSER TO THE ROAD.

COMMUNITY AMENITIES ARE SIGNIFICANT COMMUNITY AMENITIES.

FIRST THING, WHEN WE START THE CONVERSATION ABOUT COMMUNITY AMENITIES ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROJECT IS A RENTAL PROJECT.

SO AS A COMMUNITY LEASING AREA, THE EAST SIDE IS A FOR SALE TOWNHOME PROJECT.

SO IDENTIFIED HERE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE.

AND THE RED OVAL IS A COMMUNITY CENTER WITH A POOL.

I HAVE BLIPS AND DETAILS I'LL SHOW YOU IN A FEW MINUTES.

THEN WE HAVE THE YOGA GARDEN, THIS KIND OF OPEN GREEN SPACE THAT'S INTENDED TO BE A GATHERING SPACE FOR THE FOLKS WITHIN THE RENTAL AREA TO ALLOW FOR THEM TO HAVE BOTH YOGA CLASSES AND OTHER ITEMS. AND THEN HERE IS THE PICNIC AREA.

WE HAVE A CHILDREN'S PLAYGROUND ON THE EAST SIDE, AND THERE'S ALSO A PAVILION AND COVERED SHADE COVERED PLAY EQUIPMENT THERE.

AND THEN THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER MULTIPURPOSE LAWN WITH DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES PROGRAM FOR IT.

AND HERE ARE A FEW OTHER MULTIPURPOSE AREAS.

AND THEN FINALLY, THE LAKE PAVILION AT THE TERMINATION OF THE MAIN ROAD.

SO THE LAKESIDE PAVILION IS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT FEATURE.

IT'S IMPORTANT. IT'S KIND OF THE IDEA OF IT IS TO BE THE TERMINATION OF THAT STREET, THE TERMINATION OF THE MAIN STREET OF AVENIR.

SO YOU PULL UP, YOU'RE THE WAY WE HAVE IT DESIGN.

YOU'LL NOTICE IT PERFECTLY LINES UP WITH THE ROAD, SO YOUR EYE AND YOUR VISUAL CORRIDOR GO STRAIGHT THROUGH IT.

YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THEY'RE STANDING STEAM, STANDING SEAM METAL ROOFING, WHICH IS A COPPER ROOFING THAT YOU SEE THROUGHOUT AVENIR AND THEN WE HAVE THE HEWLETT STONE COLUMNS ALL OVER THE GAZEBO STRUCTURE. THIS IS A ROOFED AREA AND THESE ARE GAZEBO STRUCTURES.

AND OF COURSE THERE'S STANDARD STREET FURNITURE LIKE THERE IS THROUGHOUT AVENUE, THE COMMUNITY CENTER ON THE WEST SIDE.

IT'S 2500 SQUARE FEET.

IT INCLUDES BOTH A SWIMMING POOL, LEASING OFFICE, BUSINESS ROOM, THE TYPICAL MENUS THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT IN A HIGH END COMMUNITY AS PART OF AVANIR CHILDREN'S PLAY AREA. ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, IDENTIFYING THE MODEL OF EQUIPMENT THAT'S BEING PROPOSED, PLAY EQUIPMENT.

THERE'LL BE SWINGS AND PICNIC TABLES, GENERAL AND OTHER ITEMS. PARKING PROVIDED ALWAYS AN IMPORTANT ITEM WHEN YOU HAVE TOWNHOMES, RIGHT? SO TOWNHOMES, THERE'S ALWAYS A QUESTION HOW IS IT GOING TO PARK THE REQUIREMENT? AS YOU KNOW, IN THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, A PARKING CODE IS ONE PARKING SPOT PER BEDROOM PLUS 5% FOR GUESS THE CODE THAT GENERATES 864 SPACES.

WHAT'S BEING PROVIDED IS 994 SPACES, 110 ON STREET PARKING SPACES IDENTIFIED IN THE AREAS IN RED.

PLUS THERE'S ADDITIONAL ON STREET PARKING HERE ALONG THE TOWN CENTER ACCESS ROAD THAT'S NOT COUNTED IN THOSE NUMBERS.

SO THIS IS SIGNIFICANTLY PARKED FOR A TOWNHOME BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS THAT SOMETIMES MORE THAN ONE OR TWO PEOPLE SHOW UP FOR A WEEKEND PARTY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

SO ARCHITECTURE KEEPING THE TRAIN MOVING ARCHITECTURE.

SO THERE ARE TWO KIND OF STYLES OF ARCHITECTURE, ALL UNDER ONE COMMON THEME.

THE ARCHITECTURAL STYLE, GENERALLY SPEAKING, IS COASTAL MODERN.

[01:55:01]

HE'S TAKING IT MORE TOWARDS A TROPICAL LOOK AND THEN THE THE EASTERN SIDE HAS GONE MORE TOWARDS A COASTAL LOOK.

SO LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH SOME OF THE ARCHITECTURAL STYLES AND A BIT MORE IN DETAIL.

FIRST, I SAID EARLIER, THE PROJECT IS DIVIDED EAST AND WEST.

THE RED LINE IS THE DIVIDER, THE WEST, THE LEFT HAND SIDE OR THE WEST SIDE IS THE ONE WE'LL GO THROUGH FIRST.

THERE ARE 23 BUILDINGS THERE OR 134 UNITS.

SO THE WESTERN PARCEL THERE ARE 16 FRONTLOADED BUILDINGS, WHICH IS MORE THE TRADITIONAL TOWNHOME WHERE YOU SEE THE DOOR AND THE GARAGES IN THE FRONT AND THERE ARE SEVEN REAR LOADED WHERE THE FRONT DOOR IS IN ONE SIDE AND THE GARAGE DOORS IN THE REAR.

SO THIS IS THE FRONT LOAD DESIGN ON THAT PARCEL.

KIND OF SOME UNIQUE FEATURES OF IT.

FIRST, WHAT, WHAT STICKS OUT TO ME AND I'M GOING TO BLOW UP IN A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL FOR YOU HERE.

THIS IS ONE UNIT.

THIS IS ONE OF THE TWO STORY UNIT.

LOOKS LIKE IT'S A TOWN. FIRST THING ON THIS SIDE, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE GARAGES ARE SINGLE CAR GARAGES, BUT IT'S REALLY A TWO CAR GARAGE UNIT.

BUT EACH ONE OF THEM HAVE A SINGLE OPERATING DOOR.

YOU'LL NOTICE KIND OF THAT TROPICAL MODERN DESIGN.

YOU'LL SEE PETER HAS CREATED THESE BRACKETS.

HE HAS THESE ROOFS, HE'S GOT THE UNIQUE STUCCO AND THE SCORED STUCCO AND THESE METAL AWNINGS HERE.

SO HE'S TAKING THIS A LITTLE BIT MORE TOWARDS TROPICAL, BUT IT HAS A OVERHANGS AND OTHER ALUMINUM BRACKETS AND THEN THE FLAT ROOF TILES IMPORTANT TO HIS DESIGN.

SO THAT'S WHAT THE FRONT LOADED BUILDING LOOKS LIKE, THE REAR LOADED BUILDING ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE HERE, YOU CAN SEE THE YOU CAN SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FROM THE FRONT OR THE TREES ARE IN THE WAY. BUT YOU CAN GENERALLY GET AN IDEA OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN THE FRONT.

THESE ARE THE COLUMNS, THE STUCCO COLUMNS, THE BRACKETS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED, THE ALUMINUM RAFTERS.

THAT COMMON THEME, WHICH I MISSED ON THE LAST SLIDE, KIND OF THAT RAILING THAT WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE ENTRIES.

SO THAT RAILING IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ENTRY.

SO THAT'S WHAT THE THE REAR LOADER LOOKS LIKE ON THE WESTERN, THE EASTERN PARCEL, JUST A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT DESIGN.

YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE STACK STONES A LITTLE TALLER.

THERE'S DEEPER BRACKETS.

IT HAS IT HAS THESE TOWER ELEMENTS ON BOTH ENDS.

SO THIS IS THE REAR LOAD ON THE EAST SIDE AGAIN, ALL WITHIN THE SAME DESIGN FEATURES, SCORED STUCCO BRACKETS, LOTS OF GLASS.

NOW, WHAT'S UNIQUE HERE, AND I'LL SHOW YOU IN MORE DETAIL IN A SECOND, ARE THESE THE SEPARATION OF THE PUBLIC PRIVATE SPACE ON THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING? THERE'S THESE THESE WALLS THAT SEPARATE THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SPACE.

AND THIS IS THE FRONT LOAD, MEANING THAT THE MEANING THAT THE DOORWAY IS HERE, YOU'LL SEE THE STONE.

THEY ALSO HAVE METAL SHED ROOFS FOR THE LOWER ABOVE THE GARAGES.

NOW THEY HAVE A TWO STANDARD TWO CAR GARAGE WITH A TWO WITH A REGULAR ONE CAR DOOR.

YOU'LL NOTICE THE AWNINGS.

AND THEN ALSO THESE THESE TOWER FEATURES CREATING SOME UNIQUE ROOFLINE MOVEMENTS.

SO NICE WALLS AND SEPARATION WALLS.

AN IMPORTANT PART OF THIS PROJECT IS KIND OF CREATE THIS SEPARATION OF BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SPACES.

SO ALONG THE RED LINE, THERE IS KNEE WALLS ON BOTH SIDES.

AND THOSE KNEE WALLS, IN THIS CASE, IT'S THAT METAL RAILING HERE.

AND THEN YOU'LL NOTICE THE 34 OR 35 INCH COQUINA COLUMN.

AND THEN IN FRONT OF EACH UNIT THERE'S A GATE AND THEN THERE'S A SCONCE LIGHT.

SO YOU HAVE YOUR KIND OF OWN PUBLIC PRIVATE SPACE AS YOU LOOK THROUGH THOSE UNITS ALONG TOWN CENTER DRIVE, WHICH IS HERE IN RED, WE HAVE A DIFFERENT STYLE WALL. THAT WALL IS A IT'S A SOLID STUCCO RA.

IT'S A 34 INCH NEHWAL ALL THE SAME THING, HAS A COQUINA COLUMNS, HAS A SCONCES, CREATES A PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SEPARATION.

OVER HERE ON THE LEFT SIDE, THIS IS IN FRONT OF THE FUTURE HOTEL THAT WILL HAVE A MORE STANDARD SIX FOOT HIGH WALL.

AND ALSO ALONG THE WEST SIDE, WE'LL HAVE THE SAME SETUP THAT IS THROUGHOUT ALL THE AVENUE AROUND ON COCONUT DRIVE IN THE MAIN ROADS WHERE YOU HAVE THE 40 FOOT ADJACENT TO COCONUT, YOU HAVE THEN HAVE AN ADDITIONAL 15 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER AND YOU HAVE A WALL AND THEN YOU HAVE THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS LANDSCAPING.

I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS VERY QUICKLY.

WE'VE MET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS.

WE'RE PROVIDING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF LANDSCAPING.

THE MAIN ENTRY IS A MEDJOOL SEQUENCE GOING INTO THE PROJECT.

AND THEN THE MORE STANDARD TREES THAT YOU'VE SEEN THROUGHOUT AVENUE AND I THINK MOST OF YOU PROBABLY DRIVEN OUT THERE, I THINK THE LANDSCAPING IS COMING IN REALLY NICE AND IT'LL BE CONSISTENT WITH THAT DESIGN THEME.

WAIVERS. THERE ARE FIVE WAIVERS THIS EVENING.

THE WAIVERS ARE REALLY A LOT OF WORDS ON THE ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU.

I'M GOING TO JUMP TO WHAT THE WAIVERS ARE AND SHOW YOU GRAPHICALLY.

THE FIRST WAIVER IS A WAIVER TO THE DESIGN GUIDELINES TO ALLOW SECONDARY STREETS TO HAVE FULL ACCESS TO THE MAIN ROAD.

WHEN WHEN THE BOOK WAS WRITTEN FOR DESIGN STANDARDS, THE THOUGHT PROCESS WOULD THAT THIS WOULD BE A WRITE IN AND WRITE OUT ONLY ON BOTH OF THESE.

AND WHEN WE GOT TO THE ULTIMATE DESIGN, IT MADE MUCH MORE SENSE TO HAVE A FULL INTERSECTION AT BOTH PLACES.

[02:00:06]

WAIVER NUMBER TWO.

IT'S A WAIVER TO THE BLOCKS.

THE BLOCK STRUCTURE, THERE ARE MINIMUM MAXIMUM BLOCKS OF BLOCK SIZES THAT ARE ALLOWED.

AND FIRST THING, ONE OF THE BIGGEST, THE LONGEST BLOCK.

THIS IS THE WIDTH, THE LONGEST BLOCK WE'RE ASKING FOR A WAIVER FOR IS THE BLOCK ALONG THE WATERWAY IS SIGNIFICANT WATER.

WHEN WE WHEN WE LAID IT OUT, YOU KNOW, NO ONE REALLY KNEW THIS IS GOING TO BE A WATERWAY ALL TO THE FRONT.

BUT WE MAY BASICALLY HAVE.

BLOCK AND IT'S BROKEN UP BY DIFFERENT AREAS, BUT IT'S A LONGER IT'S LONGER THAN WHAT'S ALLOWED BY CODE.

AND THEN HERE YOU CAN SEE SOME AREAS WHERE IT'S SHORTER THAN WHAT'S ALLOWED BY CODE FOR MY OPINION.

AND I KNOW YOUR STAFF RECOMMENDS THIS ALSO, I DON'T THINK WE COULD HAVE PUT ANOTHER ROAD IN THERE TO MAKE THE LOCK LOTS AND SMALLER.

IT'S GOT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TRANSPORTATION ELEMENTS.

THE THIRD WAIVER IS A WAIVER TO THE REAR.

THE ORIGINAL APPROVAL FOR THE TOWN CENTER, WE DIDN'T KNOW IF WAS GOING TO BE COMMERCIAL THERE.

WE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS GOING TO BE RESIDENTIAL.

IT HAD THE SETBACK BEING 15 FEET.

WE'RE REQUESTING THAT THE SETBACK ALONG THE REAR BE TEN FEET.

AND JUST JUST FOR A LITTLE BIT OF MEMORY, THE LANDSCAPING, YOU APPROVED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF LANDSCAPING WITHIN THE LATERAL SHELVES.

IT'S PART OF SITE PLAN NUMBER ONE.

ALL THIS LANDSCAPING WAS PART OF IT.

SO BASICALLY THE REQUEST IS TO SHRINK THAT FROM 15 FEET TO TEN FEET.

ALSO, WHEN THE DESIGN GUIDELINES WERE WRITTEN, NO ONE KNEW THAT THERE WOULD BE A LAKE THERE.

ALSO, THAT'S THE QUESTION YOU MIGHT WANT TO ASK IS, WELL, WHAT'S A SEPARATION FROM THE HOUSES TO THE NORTH? IT'S ANYWHERE FROM 150 TO 400 FEET, DEPENDING WHERE YOU ARE.

WAIVER NUMBER FOUR IS A WAIVER TO TO ALLOW FOR SEVEN PARALLEL SPOTS AT A ROW INSTEAD OF FIVE GREAT DESIGN IDEA TO LIMIT IT TO FIVE PARALLEL SPACES IN A ROW. BUT THIS IS A PRETTY SMALL AREA.

AND WE BELIEVE AND AGAIN, YOUR STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED APPROVAL, THAT IT'D BE BETTER TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE PARKING THERE, TO GET TO TWO ADDITIONAL SPOTS IN FRONT OF THOSE TO ALLOW FOR THAT ADDITIONAL PARKING JUST BECAUSE THE LENGTH OF IT'S NOT VERY LONG.

THE FIFTH WAIVER.

IS A WAIVER FOR STREET TREES NOW.

I WANT TO ASSURE YOU WE'RE HAVING THE STREET TO EACH TREES BEFORE I START THIS CONVERSATION.

THE WITH THE REQUIREMENT IS THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE A STREET TREE ONE EVERY 30 FEET.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT.

BUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS IT'S GOING TO BE ON THE LOTS BECAUSE WE BROUGHT THOSE BUILDINGS TO THE FRONT, RIGHT.

SO THEY HAVE THOSE NEW WALLS AND THEN THEN THE BUILDING IN THE BACK.

SO INSTEAD OF HAVING THE STREET TREE HERE IN FRONT OF THE KNEE WALL, IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO BE BEHIND IT.

SO ALL THE TREES ARE GOING TO BE IN PLACE.

AGAIN, YOUR STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL, AND I HOPE I GOT DONE IN TIME FOR FOOTBALL THIS EVENING.

I HAVE ONE MORE ITEM.

DON'T LISTEN. YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YES, MA'AM. DON'T RUSH, PLEASE.

CITY BUSINESS. DON'T LISTEN TO ME.

DON'T LISTEN TO THAT PART.

WE LISTEN TO EVERYTHING ELSE.

EVERYTHING. BUT THAT WAS QUICK.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

DO WE? THANK YOU SO MUCH, KEN.

DO WE HAVE A STAFF PRESENT? TEST THE STAFF PRESENTATION? NO, STAFF PRESENTATION.

STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 66 AND ALL WAIVERS REQUESTED.

IT, TOO, WAS VOTED UNANIMOUSLY BY PLANNING ZONING.

EXCELLENT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY COMMENT CARDS, ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK.

SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THIS HEARING.

MAY I GET A MOTION IN A SECOND TO APPROVE? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THAT.

I WILL LISTEN TO THAT MOTION.

I'LL SECOND MUCH.

HAPPY TO SECOND. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S LET'S CHAT ABOUT IT.

SO, CARL.

I'VE GOT NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT.

THERE'S A BEAUTIFUL PRESENTATION.

AS ALWAYS, I AM EXCITED FOR AVANIR TO CONTINUE TO BE MOVING FORWARD.

STAFF DOES AN EXCELLENT JOB.

MY TEAM IS GOING TO APPROVE IT.

I'M ON BOARD WITH IT.

THERE YOU GO. WELL SAID.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S.

YES, IT'S ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

SO LET'S COME ON DOWN THE LINE, MARK.

LET'S LET'S HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY.

TWO QUESTIONS. THE THE WAIVER FOR THE INGRESS EGRESS ON COCONUT.

THAT'S PROBABLY GONNA BE THE BUSIEST ROAD.

IS THERE GOING TO BE ANY INTERSECTION THERE? LIKE IT'S AN INTERSECTION, BUT THERE'S NOT ANY LIGHT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, IS IT? THERE WON'T BE, BUT THERE'S A ROUNDABOUT DIRECTLY TO THE NORTH AND A ROUNDABOUT DIRECTLY TO THE SOUTH THAT WILL SLOW TRAFFIC UP TO ALLOW THAT GAP TIME TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO GET IN AND OUT. OKAY. AND WHAT'S THE RATIO OF RENTAL VERSUS PURCHASE? QUESTION. COUNCIL MEMBER LET ME GET THE NUMBERS UP TO 134 TO 60, 40, 60, 40, 60% RENTAL AND 40% OWNERSHIP.

ROUGHLY THAT. AND DO WE KNOW WHAT THE RENTAL RATES I GUESS IT'LL JUST BE DEPENDENT ON WHAT HAPPENS.

THAT'S FINE. THANK YOU.

RACHELLE. TWO QUESTIONS AS WELL.

THE BUILDER FOR THE RENTAL UNITS AND THE BUILDER FOR THE HOME UNITS.

YEAH, GO AHEAD AND ANSWER ONE OF THOSE QUESTIONS AND THE OTHER ONE IS STILL IN CONSIDERATION.

THERE ARE SOME CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS.

THE BUILDER ON THE WEST SIDE WILL BE FCI, WHICH IS FLORIDA CRYSTAL'S APARTMENT WING, FCI OK.

[02:05:06]

THERE'S SOME CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS, SO WE'LL KNOW THE ANSWER SOON ENOUGH.

BUT THEY PUT A LOT OF EFFORT INTO THIS.

AND WHEN THE BUILDER COMES ON, ON THE OTHER SIDE, THE FACT THAT WE'VE ALREADY APPROVED THERE WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE AND ALL IS THERE, THERE HAS TO BE WILLING TO GO ALONG WITH THAT. ARE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES? GUESS WHERE WE COME BACK TO AND YOU GET TO LISTEN TO ME TALK AGAIN ON THAT SIDE, THE PURCHASE SIDE, I ASSUME BEING THAT THERE IS NO CLUBHOUSE AND POOL, THAT THEY WILL BE USING THE MAIN CLUBHOUSE AND POOL FOR AVANIR IS THAT BOTH COMMUNITIES HAVE ACCESS TO THE EASTERN WEST, THE EASTERN AVENUE RECREATION CENTER, BUT THEY WON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE RENTAL COMPLEX POOL IF THEY NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE LIVE IN.

THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. THANK YOU.

GOOD QUESTIONS. MARCI.

LOOKS GREAT. THANK YOU.

YOU ACTUALLY ASKED SOME OF MY QUESTIONS.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION ON THE DRIVEWAY WITH FOR THE I THINK IT'S THE REAR LOADED ONES OR THE LENGTH, NOT THE WIDTH, BUT THE LENGTH OF IT.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS ONE.

THE LONG STREET IN THE CENTER LOOKED LIKE IT WAS A LOT SHORTER THAN THE REST OF THEM.

AND I'M GUESSING THAT'S THE REAR LOADED.

DRIVEWAYS. I THINK YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT IT.

AND IT WAS HARD TO READ ON THE ON THE ACTUAL PLAN WHEN I ZOOMED IN.

SO JUST MAKING SURE THAT I KNOW HOW SOMETIMES REAR LOADED DRIVEWAYS THEY STACK INTO THE ACCESS ROAD 20 BY 20.

PERFECT. IT JUST LOOKS SHORTER THAN THE REST OF THE DRIVEWAYS.

SO, YES, BECAUSE A VARIATION, THE MINIMUM IS 20.

THE MAXIMUM IS ACTUALLY 30.7.

SO THE VARIATION OF THE BUILDINGS HAVE VARIATION IN THEM.

SOME LOOKED PERFECTLY LONG AND THEN SOME LOOKED A LOT SMALLER.

THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING.

PERFECT. AND THEN I'M ABSOLUTELY IN SUPPORT OF THE WAIVER FOR THE ACCESS BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY SPREADS OUT THE TRAFFIC A LOT.

AND IT FOR ME, MAKES FOR A MUCH BETTER DESIGN.

GREAT DESIGN. THANK YOU.

AND IT'S NICE TO SEE THE TWO TUMOR'S HERE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. GREAT QUESTIONS UP HERE.

SO LOVING THE CONNECTIVITY, IT'S EXTRAORDINARY.

I THINK THE FOLKS THAT ARE GOING TO LIVE THERE WILL PROBABLY NOT GO VERY FAR.

AS WE KNOW, MOST TRIPS ARE ABOUT THREE MILES.

SO THE ABILITY TO TAKE A STROLL OR A GOLF CART OR A BIKE TO GET TO THE GENERAL CENTER AREA, WHETHER YOU'RE GOING TO THE POOL OR TO THE YOGA AREA OR, GOLLY, I THINK WE'RE ALL GOING TO BE MOVING IN.

THIS ONE SOUNDS GREAT.

AND I ALSO ESPECIALLY LIKE THE FULL ACCESS TO COCONUT WITH THE TRAFFIC CALMING LEADING INTO IT.

THAT'S EXTRAORDINARILY IMPORTANT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. ALL RIGHT, LET'S OPEN THIS HEARING.

DO WE HAVE EX PARTE FOR RESOLUTION 67? THE SITE PLAN PARCEL A MERCY ROSA SHELTER.

ALL RIGHT, ROCHELLE.

ALL RIGHT. MARK IS IN ABSENTIA.

SO, CARL.

ALL RIGHT. AND SAME HERE.

SO LET'S MOVE ON.

HI, KEN.

HI. GOOD EVENING. BEEN SWORN IN.

I HAVE. GOOD EVENING, KEN, TOO.

WITH URBAN DESIGN STUDIO 610, CLEMATIS STREET, WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA, 33401.

THIS IS THE NEXT IN A SERIES OF PODS AT AVANIR.

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF ACTIVITY, AS YOU KNOW, IN AVANIR AND A LOT OF HOMES BEING CONSTRUCTED.

THIS IS POD NUMBER 20, WHICH IS LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE OF THE INTERSECTION OF PANTHER NATIONAL DRIVE AND AVANIR PANTHER BOULEVARD, PANTHER NATIONAL AND AVANIR DRIVE.

I'M GOING TO GO VERY QUICKLY THROUGH THIS.

THERE ARE 144 UNITS.

IT'S VERY CONSISTENT WITH WHAT YOU'VE SEEN BEFORE.

THERE IS NO ARCHITECTURE THIS EVENING.

THERE IS A CONDITION THAT WHEN A BUILDER COMES ON BOARD, WHICH IS APPARENTLY AS COLD OR HOMES AS YOU'LL SEE, MR.

[02:10:02]

SO THE SUBJECT SITE HERE IDENTIFIED IN RED, THE OVAL.

WE'VE BEEN THOSE OF YOU BEEN WITH AVANIR A LONG TIME? NO, WE CALL THIS MICKEY MOUSE BECAUSE OF THE EARS.

SO WE'RE BUILDING THAT.

THAT POD NUMBER 20 IS THE NEXT ONE.

THIS IS THE DESIGN.

THERE ARE TWO STYLES OF LOTS PROPOSED ON THIS.

THERE ARE 69, 65 FOOT WIDE LOTS AND 7555 FOOT LOTS.

THEY'RE ALL 130 FEET DEEP.

THE SITE PLAN.

THE SITE PLAN, WHICH IS ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU, HAS AN ENTRANCE POINT DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE GL PARCEL OR POD 15.

THE ENTRANCE POINT IS HERE.

IT IS A GATED COMMUNITY ALONG THE FRONTAGE, ALONG AVENUE OR DRIVE.

THERE'S A STANDARD BUFFERS WHICH IS THE 15 FOOT OR THE 40 FOOT FROM THE ROAD, THE 15 FOOT AND THE WALL, AND THEN YOU'LL SEE YOU COME IN.

IT IS A GATED COMMUNITY, SOME OTHER KEY COMPONENTS, WHICH I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH IN A LITTLE BIT.

WE'LL SHOW THAT THERE IS A BRIDGE HERE THAT MAKES A WALKING CONNECTION BETWEEN PANTHER, BETWEEN HERE AND THE SOUTH SIDE, ALLOWING PEOPLE TO WALK ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

SO I'M GOING TO WALK YOU THROUGH SOME DETAILS REAL QUICK.

FIRST THING, PROJECT ENTRANCES ON THE SCREEN ARE THE ARROWS AND RED.

THESE ARE THE MAIN ENTRANCE.

SO THERE'S A MAIN ENTRANCE HERE, BUT THERE'S ALSO A SIMILAR MAIN ENTRANCE OFF OF PANTHER NATIONAL BOULEVARD.

AND THEN THIS PART, THIS ENTRANCE POINT HERE IS AN EGRESS ONLY.

THIS INGRESS POINT REFERENCES AN EMERGENCY INGRESS POINT.

SO THERE ARE THREE EXITS OR THERE ARE THREE POINTS OF INGRESS EXCUSE ME, TWO POINTS OF INGRESS, THREE POINTS OF EGRESS.

THOUGH. WHAT THE.

THIS IS THE PROFILE FOR THE BUFFER ADJACENT TO AVENUE AND PANTHER NATIONAL.

AGAIN, A SIX FOOT HIGH WALL.

SIGNIFICANT LANDSCAPING IN THE FRONT, THE WALKWAY.

DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE, IT'S EITHER EIGHT FOOT OR 12 FOOT, DEPENDING ON WHICH SIDE OF THE ROAD.

ALONG ONE SIDE, IT'S 12, ON THE OTHER IT'S EIGHT.

AND THEN YOU'LL SEE THE REST OF THE DESIGN COMMUNITY AMENITIES.

HERE YOU CAN SEE THE PERGOLA BEING PROPOSED AGAIN, OF COURSE, WITH WITH LIGHT AND LIGHT AND THEN HAVING SOME STACKED STONE OR SCORED STONE ON THE BOTTOM. THE BRUSHED ALUMINUM BE GAZEBO, A BEAM GAZEBO.

MAIL KIOSK LOCATED IN THE AREA IN RED.

IT ALSO HAS SEVERAL PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT WITH SWINGS AND OTHER ITEMS. THE BRIDGE CONNECTION.

THIS IS A WALKING BRIDGE THAT CONNECT KIND OF THE DISCONNECTED PART THROUGH THE WETLAND.

THIS IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WETLANDS ON THE SITE.

IF YOU GET A CHANCE TO GET OUT THERE, THIS IS IF YOU WANTED TO BUY A HOME, THIS WOULD BE NUMBER TWO.

THE NEXT ONE, POT 18 WOULD BE NUMBER ONE WITH THIS 900 FOOT VIEW.

THIS HAS A 600 FOOT VIEW AND I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU A FEW PICTURES.

IT'S REALLY BEAUTIFUL.

SOME ADDITIONAL FEATURES, SUCH AS POCKET PARKS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.

SO WHAT WE DID IS WE WENT OUT AND TOOK JUST A FEW PICTURES TO KIND OF SEE WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE FROM DIFFERENT SPOTS IF YOU'RE STANDING WHERE THAT RED ARROW IS.

THIS IS A VIEW OF THE PRESERVATION AREA IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THAT ARROW.

AND THEN HERE, IF YOU IF YOU'RE LOOKING SOUTHEAST, YOU CAN KIND OF GET A VIEW OF WHAT THAT WHAT THE CONSERVATION AREA IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

AND THEN HERE'S A VIEW LOOKING NORTHEAST, JUST A NICE, LARGE, BEAUTIFUL AREA THAT HAS LOTS OF NATURAL PLANTS.

LANDSCAPING. LANDSCAPING IS CONSISTENT WITH THE BALANCE OF THE AVENUE PROJECTS.

THE TREES ARE GUMBO, LIMBO, SOUTHERN LIVE OAKS, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF LANDSCAPE POINTS PROVIDED.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THERE ARE NO WAVERS.

AND THAT'S MY PRESENTATION FOR THIS EVENING.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

WOW. YEAH. WOW, INDEED.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

DO WE HAVE A STAFF PRESENTATION? NO STAFF PRESENTATION TONIGHT THERE.

ALL RIGHT. THANKS, BRAD.

AND I DON'T HAVE ANY COMMENT CARDS, SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE HEARING.

MAY GET A MOTION IN A SECOND TO APPROVE.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION ON RESOLUTION 67, 2020 TO SECOND.

THANKS, MARCY. ALL RIGHT, SO LET'S LET'S CHAT AND DISCUSS ANY QUESTIONS.

CARL, YOU MADE THE MOTION. YOU WANT TO GO FIRST? YEAH, KEN, THANK YOU.

I LIKE TO GOOF AROUND A LITTLE BIT ON SOMETIMES.

IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, LETS PEOPLE KNOW WE'RE REALLY REAL.

HOWEVER, I DO REMEMBER A COUPLE PODS AGO, AND I DON'T REMEMBER.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN SIX MONTHS AGO.

I LIKE THE KINECT ABILITY WITH THE SIDEWALKS, BUT ON THIS PARTICULAR SLIDE ONE BEFORE THAT.

ANYWAY, IT LOOKED LIKE WHERE WHERE IT CONNECTS HERE, WHERE THE ENTRANCE TO THE DEVELOPMENT IS EQUAL.

AND OPPOSITE OF THAT. THERE'S ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT OVER HERE IN THE GRAY AREA THAT IT LOOKS LIKE THE SIDEWALKS ARE LARGER.

[02:15:08]

BECAUSE SOMETIMES SOMETIMES YOUR PRESENTATION, THE SIDEWALKS LOOK LARGER.

THESE LOOK RELATIVELY.

RELATIVE TO THE DRAWING.

SO HOW LARGE ARE THESE SIDEWALKS? COUNCIL MEMBER WOODS AT THE ENTRANCES.

WE'VE BEEN CONSISTENT. IT'S AN EIGHT FOOT WIDE SIDEWALK THAT THEN WILL CONNECT TO EITHER THE 12 FOOT MULTI-USE PATH OR THE EIGHT FOOT SIDEWALK, DEPENDING ON WHAT SIDE OF EITHER AVENUE OR DRIVE COCONUT OR PANTHER NATIONAL BOULEVARD YOU'RE ON.

SO AT THIS POINT HERE, THE DRIVEWAYS DO ALIGN AND THEN THE SIDEWALKS UP.

BOTH SIDES ARE EIGHT FEET WIDE.

SO I JUST NEVER ASKED THE QUESTION BEFORE.

SO IT'S THE SAME THEME THROUGHOUT.

YES. BECAUSE SOMETIMES THEY JUST LOOK DIFFERENT AND GET DIFFERENT SIDES LOOK DIFFERENT.

BUT THAT WAS THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD.

I LOVE IT. THANK YOU, KEN.

I'M EXCITED FOR YOU GUYS.

GOOD QUESTION, CARL. MARK, NO QUESTIONS.

LOOKS GREAT. CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU, ROCHELLE.

NO QUESTIONS.

IT LOOKS WONDERFUL.

SO I'M GOOD.

MARCY JUST A FEW.

I LOVE THE BOARDWALK OVER THE WETLAND.

I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE USED A LOT IN THE RESIDENTS ARE REALLY GOING TO LIKE THAT.

IT'S A NICE FEATURE.

WHAT IS THE STACKING DISTANCE TO THE GUARDHOUSE? ACTUALLY, MOSTLY NOT THE ONE WITH A ROUNDABOUT IN IT.

ONE AND A HALF. AND YOUR DRIVE.

AND THEN ALSO HOW DO THE RESIDENTS GAIN ACCESS? IS IT A KEY FOB? IS IT A. I'LL ADDRESS THE LATTER.

WHY WE'RE LOOKING AT. I KNOW ONE THING I KNOW FOR SURE IS WE'RE NOT REQUESTING A WAIVER TO THE STACKING.

SO IT'S A MEETING, THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT OF THE CITY.

IN REGARDS TO THE KEY FOB, IT WILL BE THE PROPOSAL HERE WILL BE SOME FORM OF KEY FOB OR VISIO SYSTEM OR BUT BUT THERE IS NOT IT'S NOT A MANNED GATED ENTRANCE POINT.

OKAY. AND THE THE PICNIC AREA THAT HAS THE BENCHES, IT WAS HARD TO SEE ON THE SIDE.

IS THERE A FENCE FOR THE REAR LOTS THAT FACE THAT WHERE THE PICNIC AREA AND THE BENCHES ARE? YES, ALL, ALL RESIDENTIAL.

LOTS THAT ABUT COMMON SPACES HAVE A FOUR FOOT BLACK ALUMINUM FENCE TO DELINEATE THE PUBLIC FROM PRIVATE SPACE.

AND THEN TO JUST GO BACK QUICKLY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION ON THE STACKING OFF OF AVENUE OR DRIVE, THERE'S 100 FEET OF STACKING TO THE CALL BOX, WHICH IS PERSISTENT WITH CODE, AND THERE'S ALSO TWO LANES.

SO ONE FOR GUEST, ONE FOR RESIDENTS.

OKAY, GREAT.

AND THE THE IT WAS HARD TO SEE ON THE PLAN.

I SAW FENCES AROUND AND NOTED AND A LOT OF THEM AND THEN THAT AREA DIDN'T NOTICE A FENCE AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN JUST BECAUSE OF THE THE DASH LINE THAT WAS ON THE SITE PLAN.

VERY NICE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I APPRECIATE THE DESIGN.

IT'S GOING TO BE A NICE PRODUCT.

ALL RIGHT. SO I JUST I'M ALWAYS SO IMPRESSED TO SEE THE NATURAL AREAS WORKED INTO PEOPLE'S HOMES.

IT'S EXTRAORDINARY. WITH OVER 2400 ACRES OF RESTORED NATURAL AREA, NOT JUST OVERGROWN SWAMPLAND, BUT ACTUALLY RESTORED TO ITS NATURAL AREA IS IS WONDERFUL.

AND IT'S KEEPING OUR CITY AT OUR 51% THAT WERE BEHOLDEN FOR GREEN SPACE AS WELL.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

LOVE THE WALKWAY.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT, SO I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT THANK YOU.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.

LET'S CALL IT TO VOTE.

ALL IN FAVOR.

HI. ANY OPPOSED? NO MOTION PASSES.

FIVE ZERO. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, GUYS. RESOLUTION 79, IF WE COULD HAVE MY IF WE COULD HAVE THE TITLE READ, PLEASE.

[IX.a. RESOLUTION 79, 2022 – OPERATION SISTER CITY – CITY OF WAUCHULA, FLORIDA. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA, DECLARING THAT THE CITY OF WAUCHULA, HARDEE COUNTY, FLORIDA, IS A SISTER CITY; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.]

THANK YOU. RON, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER YOU MIGHT WANT TO SHARE ABOUT IT? ALL RIGHT. I FEEL LIKE I'M ASKING FOR A LOT OF INDULGENCE TONIGHT.

SO OUR GOAL IS $35,000.

THAT'S CORRECT.

WE HAVE 10,000 DONATION FROM CHRIST FELLOWSHIP CHURCH AND THE 15,000 FROM CALLAWAY.

SO WE NEED TEN MORE THOUSAND DOLLARS IN ORDER TO TAKE CARE OF THIS COMMUNITY.

CORRECT. ALL RIGHT.

SO BEGGING FAVOR OF COUNSEL.

I'D LIKE YOU GUYS TO CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY IF WE IF WE HAVE THE FUNDS TO DO THIS.

I THINK IT'S PRETTY EXTRAORDINARY TO WATCH THE PREVIOUS SISTER CITY GIVE MONEY TO THE NEXT SISTER CITY FOR THE CATALYST FOR THAT KIND OF

[02:20:05]

I THINK THAT'S A WORTHY INVESTMENT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WORKS, BUT I WANTED TO SEE WHAT YOU GUYS MIGHT THINK ABOUT HAVING RON OR MAX LOOK INTO THAT POSSIBILITY.

WHERE WOULD THEY FUND? WHAT LINE ITEM WOULD IT COME FROM? WHAT BUDGET LINE WHEN IT COME FROM COUNCIL OR FROM SOME OTHER? GENERALLY SPEAKING, YOU HAVE MONEY IN YOUR COUNCIL BUDGET TO MAKE THESE DECISIONS AND YOU DO IT ALL THE TIME WITH THE HOMELESS COALITION, COALITION, THE HIGH SCHOOLS.

THERE'S MONEY THERE FOR THAT.

I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA TO DO THAT, A GREAT USE OF THE FUNDS.

MARCY, WHAT DO YOU THINK? IF YOU'RE IN FAVOR OF IT, I'M OKAY WITH IT.

THANK YOU. WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT THAT? NEXT, I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE RESOLUTION 7920 22, WITH THE EXTENSION OF $10,000 DONATION TO OUR SISTER CITY. THANKS, MARK.

I'LL SECOND. I'LL SAY I'LL DO IT.

WELL DONE. THAT'LL DO IT. NOW A SECOND.

YEAH. SO.

THANK YOU, GUYS. MOTION PASSES.

FIVE ZERO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO HELPING THE 91 STAFF.

THE FOLKS WHO LOST EVERYTHING.

BRINGING THE HOLIDAYS TO THE KIDS WERE REALLY LUCKY.

THANK YOU. WE MADE A MOTION.

YOU DIDN'T CALL? OH, I DIDN'T. I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

SORRY. I'M SO EXCITED.

I'M LIKE, YEAH, I'M EXCITED TO GET OUT OF HERE.

ALL RIGHT, SO ALL IN FAVOR.

I AM OPPOSED.

YAY! SO MOTION PASS IS FIVE ZERO, AND WE SHOULD ALL STILL POST IT ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PLACES AND SHARE THE LINKS SO THAT RESIDENTS CAN GET INVOLVED WITH HELPING TO CANDACE. THANK YOU.

I'LL GET THAT TO US.

AND DAVID, THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH.

WONDERFUL. ALL RIGHT.

SO NEXT WE HAVE ITEMS FOR COUNCIL ACTION, DISCUSSION OR ITEMS OF INTEREST.

[X. ITEMS FOR COUNCIL ACTION/DISCUSSION AND ITEMS OF INTEREST]

YEAH. SO WE ARE SAW SOME WONDERFUL PRESENTATIONS TODAY ABOUT HOW GREAT OUR RECREATION DEPARTMENT IS IN OUR CITY, AND WE ALL KNOW HOW GREAT IT IS.

AND WE'VE GOT ONE ONE PIECE OF PARCEL IN OUR CITY THAT IS OPEN FOR RECREATION, THAT IS OPEN FOR FOR SOMETHING. WE HAD ALL RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CITY MANAGER ABOUT THE PALM BEACH NORTH ATHLETIC FOUNDATION AND HOW THEY WERE NO LONGER THE GROUP THAT WILL BE PROVIDING A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP ON THAT PARCEL.

WE RECEIVED A LETTER ALSO FROM MIKE WINTER FROM THEM ASKING TO TALK MORE.

I THINK THIS DESERVES A WORKSHOP.

I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE AN OPEN CONFERENCE.

WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT ANY OF THIS STUFF BECAUSE OF THE SUNSHINE LAW AND SOMETIMES IT GETS VERY FRUSTRATING NOT BEING ABLE TO TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT THINGS THAT COME UP.

SO I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IF WE CAN INVITE THE PUBLIC AND INVITE ANY INTERESTED ENTITY, OBVIOUSLY THE STAFF, TO COME AND JUST TELL US WHAT THEY THINK WE SHOULD PUT THEIR WHAT DO WE WANT, WHAT SHOULD GO THERE, WHAT WHAT IS THE BEST OPPORTUNITY? THE LAST THING I WANT TO SEE IS A SIMPLE TWO GYMNASIUM REC CENTER THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE FUTURE OF THE CITY'S RECREATION DEPARTMENT. IT'S NOT GOING TO ATTRACT THE TOURNAMENTS AND THE EVENTS THAT WE WANT.

I UNDERSTAND THE PALM BEACH NORTH ATHLETIC FOUNDATION HAD DIFFICULTY WITH FUNDRAISING.

I KNOW THEY PRESENTED AN ALTERNATE METHOD OF FUNDING WHICH DIDN'T MEET THE STANDARDS THAT THE STAFF FELT COMFORTABLE WITH.

BUT I THINK WE SHOULD FIND A DATE AND FIND A TIME WHERE WE CAN SIT DOWN AND IF NOT TALK ABOUT THEM SPECIFICALLY ABOUT WHAT WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP.

AND I WOULD ASK YOU GUYS TO SUPPORT THAT EFFORT AND FIND A DATE THAT WE CAN SIT DOWN AND DO THAT.

THIS IS SOME INFORMATION.

THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER PROPOSALS PRESENTED TO THE CITY ALL ALONG DURING THE PROCESS.

AND RECENTLY WE HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH FOUR, WITH THREE OR FOUR.

WE WE REACHED OUT, IF I MAY, PURCHASE AN ON CONTRACTS DIRECTOR.

WHILE THIS ENTIRE THING WAS GOING ON WITH THE PALM BEACH NORTH TRYING TO RAISE THE FUNDING, THERE WAS AT LEAST SEVEN INTERESTED PARTIES WHO REACHED OUT TO US AND SAID.

IF AT ANY TIME THIS FAILS, WE'D LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED.

AND SO THEY KEPT CONTACTING US THROUGH THE WHOLE YEARS.

AND SO WHEN THE TERMINATION LETTER WENT OUT, I SPOKE WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND WE DISCUSSED THIS AND I REACHED OUT TO THEM AND SIMPLY ASK THE QUESTION, ARE YOU STILL INTERESTED? AND AFTER SEVEN I CONTACTED ONE SAID, NO, WE HAVE MOVED ON.

AND THEN FOUR OF THEM SAID, YES, ABSOLUTELY, 100% WERE INTERESTED.

SO WAITING TO SEE WHAT, WHEN, HOW THE SETTLES TO THEN MOVE FORWARD.

[02:25:05]

AND THE INITIAL CONTACT WE'VE HAD WITH AT LEAST THREE OF THEM SO FAR.

I THINK THAT THERE SOME POTENTIAL THERE ACTUALLY EXPRESS POTENTIAL THAT THEY'RE FULLY FUNDED AND THEY'RE.

MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS THE CITY HAS AS FAR AS THE CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE WITH THE COUNTY AND.

LOOKS LIKE THEY COULD CERTAINLY MEET THE DEADLINE BECAUSE THEY'RE FULL.

THEY SAY THEY'RE FULLY FUNDED.

IT WOULD HAVE TO BE INVESTIGATED.

YOU CAN CERTAINLY HAVE A WORKSHOP IF YOU WANT, BUT THE PROCESS IS IS ONGOING RIGHT NOW TO TRY TO MOVE THOSE PROPOSALS ALONG.

AND WE WILL BE GETTING PROBABLY SCHEDULING MEETINGS AND TALKING TO THESE PEOPLE TO SEE IF THEY'RE REALLY FOR REAL OR NOT.

BUT YOU CAN HAVE A WORKSHOP, YOU CAN HAVE A CHARRETTE.

I UNDERSTAND.

I WISH THAT THE OTHER PROPOSAL WAS MORE VIABLE THAN IT WAS.

IT WAS CERTAINLY WORTHWHILE, A GREAT EFFORT.

BUT WE'RE MOVING AHEAD WITH THE PROCESS LIKE WE NORMALLY WOULD.

SO. WELL, I'M NOT I'M NOT HERE ASKING THAT THE CITY DOES ANYTHING THAT IT SHOULDN'T DO.

OBVIOUSLY, WE ARE TAKING CARE OF THE CITY, AND THE CITY HAS TO TAKE CARE OF ITS FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO THE RESIDENTS.

AND WE DON'T WANT TO PUT AT RISK THE CITY TAXPAYERS ON ANY OF THIS STUFF.

BUT IF IT DIDN'T WORK OUT, THEN WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP? AND WE'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ALL THINK.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RESIDENTS THINK.

I MEAN, THERE WAS A NICE, BEAUTIFUL SIGN AND I'M SURE EACH OF THEM EACH OF YOU HAVE HAD FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS CALL YOU AND SAY, WOW, THAT'S GOING TO BE GREAT.

WHEN'S IT GOING TO BE BUILT? AND NOW THE SIGN IS GONE.

SO NOW YOU'RE GOING TO START GETTING QUESTIONS.

WHAT HAPPENED? AND I JUST LIKE TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO JUST TALK TO YOU GUYS IF YOU CAN PRESENT SOMETHING TO US IN THE PUBLIC SO THAT WE'RE NOT YOU KNOW, WE ARE AS INFORMED AS WE CAN BE. SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT RECREATION AND WE TALK ABOUT THE NEXT AND FINAL PIECE OF OUR RECREATION DEPARTMENT, THAT WE HAVE ANSWERS AND WE CAN ASK QUESTIONS IN AN OPEN FORUM.

AND THAT'S MY WE WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE TO BRING IT TO THE COUNCIL.

AND I THINK THAT WE HAVE A COUPLE OF VERY VIABLE PROJECTS THAT WE COULD BRING TO YOU IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, GIVING US AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THEM AND GET DOWN AND DIG INTO THE DETAILS.

WE COULD HAVE A COUPLE OF PROGRAMS THAT I THINK MIGHT HAVE SOME MERIT TO THEM VERY SOON.

SO WOULD WE DO THAT DURING A COUNCIL MEETING? I'D PREFER IT NOT TO BE DURING A COUNCIL MEETING BECAUSE THE MEETINGS GET FULL OF STUFF AND.

COUNCIL MEMBER, IF I MAY.

THE STATE HAS VERY SPECIFIC RULES ABOUT PCV AND HOW THE SOLICITATIONS ARE HANDLED SO EFFECTIVELY.

THE GROUPS THAT WERE INITIALLY CONTACTED AND HAVE EXPRESSED INTEREST, THE STATE SAYS WE CAN'T DISCUSS THAT PUBLICLY.

THAT'S CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

I CAN TELL YOU IT IS JOHN BROWN, NORTH OR MARY GREEN, WHATEVER.

I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT BECAUSE THE STATE SAYS THAT'S CONFIDENTIAL UNTIL WE MAKE A DETERMINATION TO GO WITH ONE OF THEM.

AND SO I'M SORRY, THE STATE.

SO I CAN'T WE CAN'T COME HERE AND SAY, HEY, WE'RE JOHN BROWN.

WHOEVER HAS MADE CONTACT WITH US.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT BECAUSE THE STATE SAYS THAT CONTACT IS CONFIDENTIAL.

UNTIL AT WHAT POINT? AT WHAT POINT AFTER WE WE MEET WITH THEM INITIALLY AND WE'VE MADE INITIAL CONTACT AND THEN THEY COME.

WE SAID, OKAY, TELL US WHAT YOU ARE PROPOSING, AND THEN WE CAN TELL THEM, HEY, AND THIS IS ALL MEETINGS IN WITHIN THE CITY ENVIRONS.

AND THEN WE SAY, HEY, TELL US WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING AND THIS IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

AND THEN IF WE DECIDE TO MOVE FORWARD, THE STATE SAYS WE HAVE TO ADVERTISE IT PUBLICLY AND SAY FOR THREE WEEKS.

EVERY WEEK FOR THREE WEEKS AND SAY, HEY, WE HAVE RECEIVED A PROPOSAL THAT'S GOING TO PUT X ON THE PROPERTY.

IF SOMEBODY ELSE IS INTERESTED, YOU CAN ALSO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL.

THAT'S HOW THAT WORKS.

BUT BEFORE THE PROPOSAL PROCESS, YOU'RE ALLOWED ARE YOU ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT THE CONCEPTS BEFORE ANY PROPOSAL WITHOUT DIE, WITHOUT DISCUSSING ANY PEOPLE OR ANY COMPANIES OR ANY BRANDING?

[02:30:02]

BUT THE LAW, I CANNOT TELL YOU WHAT THE LAW SAYS.

PRE PROCEDURE SAYS IT'S CONFIDENTIAL, IT'S NOT PUBLIC RECORD.

YOU CAN'T DISCUSS IT IN PUBLIC UNTIL YOU MAKE A DECISION.

THEN YOU HAVE TO PUT THAT IN THE NEWSPAPER.

I GUESS THE QUESTION THAT I HAVE IS I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MARK AND MARCI ARE ASKING FOR.

DOES THE CITY HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THERE? AND IS THAT SOMETHING THAT COULD BE SHARED WITH US, OR DO WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL WE SEE WHAT THE INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE COMPANIES ARE OFFERING US TO MAKE THAT DECISION? THE CITY CAN'T DO THAT. THE CITY, THE RECREATION DEPARTMENT, AND THAT'S WHAT WE SHARED INITIALLY IN THE ORIGINAL REQUEST OF PROPOSAL, WE SAID, THIS IS WHAT WE WANT, THIS IS WHAT WE THINK THE NEEDS ARE, AND THIS IS WHAT WE'D LIKE.

AND YOU NEED TO ADDRESS THIS.

OKAY, YOU WANT TO PUT A NICE RING, BUT YOU ALSO ADDRESS YOU HAVE TO ALSO ADDRESS X, RIGHT? SO WITH THIS INITIAL MEETING, OF COURSE, WE'RE GOING TO SAY TO THESE INTERESTED PARTIES, YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS X.

BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE RECREATION DEPARTMENT AND THE COMMUNITY NEEDS.

LET ME SEE IF I CAN CLARIFY THE ANSWER.

WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF TALKING TO THOSE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO MAKE A PROPOSAL TO THE CITY.

WE VET THAT PROPOSAL BEFORE ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

IT HAS TO COME TO YOU FOR AN APPROVAL.

WITH THE CONTRACT AND AN AGREEMENT.

SO THAT PROPOSAL WOULD COME TO YOU WITH A CONTRACT, AN AGREEMENT THAT WE DID THE LAST PROPOSAL.

BUT UNTIL THE POINT THAT WE MAKE HAS COME, ROSS SAYS.

UNTIL WE'VE GOT A DECISION TO BRING TO YOU A PROJECT, WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT IT.

AND THAT'S HOW WE DID THE LAST ONE.

SO ANOTHER QUESTION, AND I'M VERY LIKE ALL OF US JUST DISHEARTENED AND DISAPPOINTED THAT IT DIDN'T WORK OUT.

OBVIOUSLY, WE ALL ARE.

THAT WAS SUCH A SPECIAL PROJECT THAT I THINK WE ALL LOOKED FORWARD TO SEEING IN OUR CITY.

THE PARK IS, AS WE JUST LEARNED TODAY, AND NEW ACTUALLY IS SUCH A SPECIAL THING IN OUR CITY.

IT DOES DRAW SUCH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND WE ALL OF US HAVE WORKED SO HARD ON THAT PARK, GETTING IT HERE.

AND THE LAST PIECE TO BE DEVELOPED IN OUR MINDS NEEDS TO BE UNIQUE.

I KNOW ALL OF US AGREE WITH THAT, NEEDS TO BE UNIQUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL.

AND I THINK, IF I MAY SAY, MAYBE WHAT MARK MIGHT BE ASKING IS THAT WE HAVE INPUT FOR THE NEXT TIME TO SAY WE WOULD LIKE IT TO BE SOMETHING SPECIAL LIKE THAT.

WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT OPTIONS DO WE HAVE NOW GOING FORWARD, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IT'S BEEN FOUR YEARS.

WHETHER IT ENDS UP WITH THAT EXACT CONCEPT OR NOT, SOMEBODY ELSE, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S IT'S HAVING THE INPUT, HAVING THE DISCUSSION.

I KNOW THAT THE COMMUNITY RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET, OLD PALM WAS SO EXCITED TO HAVE THAT, WHICH I WAS ACTUALLY A LITTLE SURPRISED ABOUT, BUT THEY WERE SO EXCITED TO HAVE THAT FACILITY THERE.

AND MARK'S RIGHT, THEY WILL BE ASKING US.

AND SO HAVING A CHARRETTE, HAVING MAYBE COMMUNITY WILL COME OUT HAVING MAYBE IT'S A SURVEY MONKEY THAT GOES OUT FOR THIS INDOOR FACILITY.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE? BUT SOMETHING WHERE WE CAN ENGAGE EVERYBODY ON THE ON THIS PIECE BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE ALL WORKED SO HARD AND THIS IS THE LAST PIECE OF THE PUZZLE.

AND I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING I MEAN, I WOULD LOVE TO BE INVOLVED IN IT AS WELL.

CAN I CAN I SAY SOMETHING? I THINK LIKE THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY, WHICH I GUESS WE HAVE TO ENGAGE THE COUNTY WITH.

AS WELL. IT'S LIKE ANY OTHER BUILDING THAT THAT STAFF THEY THEY DO ALL THE PROPOSALS THEY DO THEY GATHER THE INFORMATION.

WE'VE ALL LEARNED A LOT FROM THE THE ICE SKATING RINK NOT GOING IN AND THAT'S IT IS A BIG BUMMER.

BUT I THINK AT THIS POINT WE'RE BACK AT GROUND ZERO.

SO NOW IT'S BACK TO STAFF TO RE DREAM AH RE VISUALIZE WHAT WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO USE WITH THAT WITH THE VENDORS OR AH PROPOSALS THEY HAVE COMING AT THEM.

[02:35:02]

BUT UNTIL I THINK STAFF DOES THEIR JOB, I REALLY THINK WE'RE IN A WAIT AND SEE PROGRAM WITH LIKE THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY.

AM I WRONG? YOU'RE ON POINT AND WE LIKE TO SEE THINGS AS UNIQUE AND AS SERVING THE PUBLIC AS WE CAN TO.

AND I ASSURE YOU, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BRING BACK ANYTHING LESS THAN THAT.

BUT THE PROCESS IS WE WOULD TOLD THEM THAT THE PROPOSALS WE WOULD BACK BACK TO THEM NEXT WEEK WITH INFORMATION AS TO SETTING UP MEETINGS AND HAVING THEIR PROPOSALS.

SO THIS IS MOVING ALONG AS PER THE STATUTES AND THE REQUIREMENTS THAT WE ARE DOING.

WELL, WE DON'T WANT TO PREJUDGE ANYTHING, BUT I THINK THERE'S SOME VERY VIABLE PROJECTS THAT YOU WOULD BE HAPPY TO HAVE ON THAT LAND.

AND THEY ARE FUNDED ACCORDING WE WILL VERIFY EVERYTHING.

BUT THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE DO.

AND BRING THAT BACK TO YOU.

YES, YOU CAN HOLD GO HAVE A CHARRETTE IF YOU WANT TO.

THAT'S FINE. BUT OUR PROCESS HAS TO CONTINUE.

WELL, I THINK MY QUESTION WAS, AND THIS IS WHY WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT, BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW AND I CAN'T TALK TO ANYBODY.

SO I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE PLAN IS.

I MEAN, IF IF YOU ARE TELLING ME AND I OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO TRUST YOU AND I ALWAYS DO, THAT THERE ARE VIABLE ENTITIES THAT ARE READY TO TAKE OVER THAT SPOT, THEN GREAT.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO SAY WE'RE GOING TO BACK AWAY FROM X BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO COMMIT TO BACKING A BOND, BUT WE HAVE NOTHING IN THE BACKGROUND EXCEPT, OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO GO BUILD TO TWO GYMNASIUMS ON THAT SPOT.

AND THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT I WOULD WANT TO ACCEPT AND I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WOULD WANT TO.

SO, YOU KNOW.

I'M TELLING YOU THAT BASICALLY ON OUR FIRST CONTACT, IT WOULD APPEAR THERE VALUABLE VIABLE PROJECTS THAT STATED THEY'RE FULLY FUNDED. WE NEED TO MEET WITH THEM AND GET THE DETAILS AND INFORMATION SO WE CAN VERIFY WHAT THEY'RE TELLING US.

AND AT THAT POINT, IF THEY'RE PROPOSING SOMETHING PREPOSTEROUS, WE SAY THAT IS CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

THIS IS WHAT WE WANT, ALTHOUGH IT CAN'T HAVE THAT.

OH, YEAH, THAT'S GOOD.

THAT'S HOW WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS.

AND DO WE HAVE A TIMELINE ON THESE? ON WHAT I SAID, WE'RE GOING TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEM NEXT WEEK AND SET UP TIMES WHEN WE CAN SIT WITH THEM AND TELL THEM TO COME TO THE COMMITTEE AND MAKE A FULL PRESENTATION, INCLUDING HOW THEY'RE GOING TO FINANCE WHAT THEY'RE SAYING.

BUT IN THE MEANTIME, WE HAVE TO REVIEW THE PROJECT AND IT WILL CHANGE THINGS.

SO IT WILL REQUIRE ANOTHER MEETING.

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO FINANCE THAT? ONCE WE GET THAT DOWN AND WE MAKE A SELECTION OF WHO WE WANT TO PRESENT TO, YOU DON'T WANT TO WASTE YOUR TIME WITH SOMEONE, IT'S NOT A VIABLE PROJECT.

THEN AT THAT TIME, WE'LL ENTER INTO MAX'S REALM OF THE LEGALITIES AND THE PROPOSED WAY THAT THIS WOULD WORK, JUST LIKE WE DID WITH THE OTHER PROJECT ON A CONTRACT.

WE PRESENT YOU A PROGRAMING CONTRACT.

YOU CAN THUMBS UP IT, YOU CAN THUMBS DOWN IT, BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT WORKS.

THAT'S HOW KUMEROW WAS EXPLAINING IT TO YOU.

THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.

ARE WE TIED IN BY THE COUNTY ON A TIMELINE OR WE TIED BY THE COUNTY ON A TIMELINE? I THINK SO. TO GET THIS DONE TO WHAT IS OUR TIMELINE? THE COUNTY'S TIMELINE, 2028.

I CAN'T RECALL EXACTLY WHAT THE EXPIRATION WITH THE DEADLINE IS AND THE AGREEMENT, BUT 20 2828, I THOUGHT THAT WAS 2028.

THERE YOU GO. OKAY. THANK YOU.

YOU GOT FIVE. WE'VE GOT TIME.

YOU HAVE FOUR. FOUR YEARS GOES BY QUICK TIME, BUT YOU DON'T REALLY THE LAST SIX YEARS GO BY.

SO. SO THERE WAS ANOTHER QUESTION.

THE I THINK WE ALL ARE WE ALL RECEIVED AN EMAIL ASKING FOR PALM BEACH NORTH ATHLETIC TO BE ON THE NEXT AGENDA.

IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO VOTE ON? I THINK THERE WAS A REQUEST FOR A PRESENT.

WE HAVE NO CONTRACT, WE HAVE NO AGREEMENT.

WE HAVE NO RELATIONSHIP.

[02:40:01]

VIABLE FUNDING PROJECT THAT DOESN'T PUT THE CITY'S BOND RATING OR THE MONEY.

I'D BE HAPPY TO HEAR FROM YOU IF YOU'VE GOT MONEY AND YOU'RE READY TO GO.

BY ALL MEANS, LET'S TALK.

I'D LOVE TO SEE IT HAPPEN.

RIGHT. BUT I JUST CAN'T WAIT.

I CAN'T ENDORSE THE FUNDING SYSTEM METHOD THAT THEY THEY PRESENTED.

I CAN'T DO THAT.

AND I CAN'T WAIT.

I JUST FEEL LIKE WE CAN'T WAIT ANY FURTHER.

WE GOT A DEADLINE TO MEET.

WHEN YOU GO FOR FINANCING AND BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION AND EVERYTHING, THAT HAS TO BE DONE AND IT HAS TO BE DONE WITH SOUNDS LIKE A LOAN FAR AWAY, BUT IT'S NOT.

WHEN YOU GET INTO THIS THING, YOU NEED MY OPINION.

YOU NEED A GOOD PROBABLY FIVE YEARS FROM THE PLANNING TO THE OPENING.

I AGREE. SO THEY CAN ACTUALLY CHANGE THEIR CONCEPT AND PLAN AND I WILL MEET WITH THEM ANY TIME ONE OF THOSE FOUR PEOPLE OR MAKE FIVE PEOPLE POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND, I WILL MEET WITH THEM, BUT NOT TO DISCUSS A PLAN I'VE ALREADY SAID WE CAN'T DO RIGHT.

IT'S JUST I UNDERSTAND.

I HAVE NO PROBLEM.

I LIKE THEM. AND WE MEET, WE TALK.

WE HAVE A GOOD TIME. BUT I'VE GOT TO MOVE.

SURE. WE GOT A KIND OF A RESPONSIBILITY TO THE COMMUNITY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE SUPPORT STAFF.

AND THAT MOVES ALONG. RIGHT? SO BECAUSE IF IT'S A FIVE YEAR PROGRAM, THAT LEAVES US ONE YEAR LEFT FOR HICCUPS ALONG THE WAY AND DELAYS AND AND THE PRICE OF STEEL TO GO UP OR WHATEVER. SO I THINK WE NEED TO TURN STAFF LOOSE ON THAT SO IT MAKES SOME TRACTION.

WELL, AS ALL THE OTHER PROJECTS WE HAVE GOING ON, THE STAFF HAS GOT ON THEIR SHOULDERS.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A LOT THAT WE ASK OF THEM, EVERYTHING FROM LIKE WHAT'S GOING TO WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON, FINISHING UP THE GOLF COURSE, FINISHING UP EVERYTHING. AND THEN TO ADD THIS IN AS WELL, TO HAVE IT HAVE BEEN STALLED FOR THIS MANY YEARS.

IT'S TERRIBLE.

WE REALLY HAVE A TIME FRAME ON THIS.

SO THEN WE KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO BRING BACK SOMETHING MAGICAL.

IT WON'T GET BY. IT WON'T GET BY NATALIE AND STAFF IF IT'S NOT.

AND THEN IT'S GOT TO GET BY US.

YEAH. SO BY THE TIME THEY PRESENT SOMETHING, YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO BE GIGGLING OVER IT, I'M SURE.

OH, SO WE WERE GIGGLING OVER THE ICE RINK, BUT IT JUST DIDN'T WORK OUT FOR MARK.

THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT BRINGING IN RESIDENTS.

IT'S ALWAYS EXTRAORDINARILY IMPORTANT TO KEEP THAT COMMUNICATION OPEN.

SO THE IDEA OF OF BRINGING IT OUT.

BUT YEAH, P3 IS P3.

BUT ANYWAY, ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY MORE DISCUSSION ABOUT PALM BEACH NORTH ATHLETIC FOUNDATION? NO. ALL RIGHT.

ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT IN GENERAL? NO. I'VE GOT ONE THING.

NOT YET. THE ATTORNEY HAS A REPORT.

OH, I JUST HAVE ONE ITEM FOR COUNSEL, DISCUSSION AND INTEREST.

SO IT'S JUST TO.

I WANT TO PERSONALLY THANK CANDACE AND DAVID.

WE HAD A GREAT WEEK. FLORIDA CITY GOVERNMENT WEEK WAS LIKE SIX, 12 HOUR DAYS IN A ROW.

AND YOU GUYS WERE EXTRAORDINARY.

FROM GETTING EVERYONE TOGETHER FOR REED FOR THE RECORD, AT THE TAIL END OF IT TO THE VERY BEGINNING, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MANY HIGH SCHOOLS IN COLLEGES AND PICTURES AND PEOPLE THAT WE GOT TO SPEND TIME WITH.

SO THANK YOU BOTH FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU DID ON THAT.

AND THEN ALSO ANOTHER HUGE SHOUT OUT FALL FESTIVAL WAS AMAZING.

SO THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR MAKING THAT HAPPEN.

I WOULD LOVE SOME DATA ON THAT.

IS THERE ANY WAY TO EVEN KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE SHOWED UP? WE ESTIMATE 9500 PLUS.

HOLY COW. SO THAT'S THAT'S DEFINITELY MORE THAN JUST THE GARDENS KIDS AND MOMS. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? SAYING SOMETHING ON THAT.

I WENT OVER TO ALTON HALLOWEEN.

IT WAS SO PACKED I ALMOST COULDN'T DRIVE DOWN THE STREET.

I MEAN, THEY WERE JUST SLAMMED.

AND ONCE YOU GET INTO THE NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE PEOPLE ARE PUTTING UP ALL THEIR STUFF AND THE GOLF COURSE, THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE JUST ON ANY GIVEN STREET, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS REALLY COOL BECAUSE IT USED TO BE IN THE HEIGHTS.

YEAH, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT WAS REALLY COOL TO SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE IN A BRAND NEW COMMUNITY.

IT TOOK ME 20 MINUTES LITERALLY TO GET INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE THE GATE WAS STACKED WAY PAST ON DONALD ROSS ROAD, GETTING IN TO TRICK OR TREAT IN EVERGREEN. ANYWAY, IT WAS IT IS ALL OLD PEOPLE I KNOW IN OUR COMMUNITIES, ALL BECAUSE I HAD ZERO KIDS COME TO MY HOUSE.

OH, NO, NO. WE GOT YOU GOT TO PUT SOME PUMPKINS OUT.

SO NONETHELESS, THANK YOU.

I KNOW THAT WASN'T THAT WAS A HUGE LIFT FOR ALL STAFF.

SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU DID FOR THAT.

AND I JUST WANTED TO.

KARL, WE WILL LISTEN TO YOU.

I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.

AND THEN LASTLY, I WANT TO THANK BOTH CHIEF BRIER AND CHIEF SHANNON FOR EVERYTHING YOU GUYS DO TO KEEP US SAFE AND FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE DOING TO OUTREACH TO OTHER

[02:45:04]

IT'S A HUGE UNDERTAKING ON TOP OF EVERYTHING YOU ALREADY DO.

SO THAT IS MY PIECE.

NEXT, DO YOU HAVE A YES, MA'AM? YEAH. THE ONLY THING I HAVE IS I HATE TO DO THIS TO YOU GUYS, BUT I JUST I DID NOTICE THAT ON RESOLUTION 57, 2020 22 WAS ON CONSENT.

[XI. CITY ATTORNEY REPORT]

AND WE ALSO INCLUDED A CHANGE TO MEET IN A MEETING IN DECEMBER.

AND WE HAD ASKED YOU GUYS EARLIER TODAY VIA EMAIL WHEN YOU WERE AVAILABLE, THREE OF YOU ARE NOT AVAILABLE ON THE EIGHTH, ALL OF YOU, BUT ONE ARE AVAILABLE ON THE 14TH.

AND WE DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO CHANGE RESOLUTION 57 BECAUSE WE HAD WHEN WE ORIGINALLY DID IT, WE ASSUMED THE EIGHTH WOULD WORK FOR EVERYBODY.

AND SO THAT RESOLUTION IS ON THERE AND IT WAS PASSED AS 12 EIGHT AND IT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED TO 1214.

SO WE NEED A MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 57, 2020 TO A SECOND AND A VOTE, AND THEN A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 5720 22 WITH THE DATE AMENDED TO DECEMBER 14TH.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. SO CAN I GET A MOTION? I'LL MAKE THE FIRST MOTION TO RECONSIDER THE DATE FOR THE DECEMBER MEETING.

THE WHOLE RESOLUTION IS OUR SELECTION IN DECEMBER AND JANUARY 2ND.

SHE SAID. OKAY, SO LET'S DISCUSS THIS.

WE THE REASON WHY DECEMBER 8TH ISN'T WORKING IS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE IN.

THREE PEOPLE ARE OUT. SO THAT'S SIGNIFICANT.

THE 14TH, WE HAVE ONE OUT.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER DATES THAT COULD WORK? FOR ANYONE ELSE TO REMEMBER THURSDAY.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THURSDAY BECAUSE THE 14TH IS A WEDNESDAY.

14TH IS A WEDNESDAY. DO IT WEDNESDAYS.

I HATE WEDNESDAYS, BUT IF I HAVE TO TAKE THE WHOLE DAY OUT.

14TH IS A WEDNESDAY.

YES, DECEMBER 14TH IS A WEDNESDAY.

DOES IT MATTER? AND THEN THE SEVENTH IS ALSO OUT BECAUSE THE THREE PEOPLE WHO ARE OUT ON THE EIGHTH WILL BE OUT THE SEVENTH, EIGHTH AND NINTH RIGHT IN THE FIRST THURSDAY.

THAT'S OUT TO THIS, THE FIRST THURSDAYS OUT, BECAUSE THE MAYOR AND I ARE GOING TO BOTH BE IN KISSIMMEE, FLORIDA, TRYING TO GET MOVE THE MOBILITY LEGISLATION FORWARD. 14TH WORKS FOR ME.

ALL RIGHT. SO THIS.

THAT'S WHY WE CAME UP WITH THE 14TH, BECAUSE THEN WE GET INTO THE NEXT WEEK, THE SCHEDULE GETS EVEN WORSE.

WE COULDN'T DO IT ON TUESDAY THE 13TH BECAUSE THERE'S PLANNING AND ZONING IN HERE THAT THAT EVENING CAN'T DO IT ON THE 12TH BECAUSE I HAVE ANOTHER MEETING THAT I HAVE TO BE TO.

THERE'S A PRIOR COMMITMENT FOR ANOTHER MUNICIPALITY.

SO THE 14TH WAS THE DATE THAT SEEMED TO WORK AND WE DON'T WANT TO MOVE 14TH, 2015, 14, 14 OR I'M SO SORRY, WHAT ABOUT THE SIXTH? THE SIXTH IS STILL GOING.

ARE YOU STILL GOING? OKAY.

OR 13TH.

14TH. ALL RIGHT.

SO WE NEED WE NEED TO CALL THE QUESTION ON THE RIGHT HERE IN TOWN.

WELL, I'LL JUST CHANGE MY FLIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL CALL THE QUESTION ON THE RECONSIDERATION OF.

GO AHEAD. IT'S A RECONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 57.

OH, I'LL CALL THE QUESTION ON RECONSIDERING RESOLUTION 57 I.

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE, I.

ANY OPPOSE? NO MOTION PASSES? NO, NO. WE NEED A MOTION AND A VOTE TO PASS RESOLUTION 57 WITH THE DATE CHANGED TO DECEMBER 14TH.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO PASS RESOLUTION 57 WITH THE DATE CHANGED AS DECEMBER 14TH.

AND THEN. AND DO WE HAVE TO DO JANUARY ALSO? IT'S ALREADY IN THERE. IT'S ALL SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR. ANY OPPOSED MOTION PASSES? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

SORRY FOR THE PROCEDURAL NIGHTMARE THERE, BUT I APPRECIATE YOUR.

NO, THANK YOU FOR LETTING US KNOW.

CAN I JUST VERIFY IT'S 6:00 ALSO, RIGHT, JAN? STILL THE SAME AS IN THE RESOLUTION.

IT'S STILL THE 12TH.

SO DECEMBER 14TH, SOMEBODY REMIND ME.

AND THE TIME HAS NOT CHANGED.

CORRECT? STILL THE SAME TIME.

JUST THE DATE. FIRST, I WON'T BE HERE OUT OF DEFAULT.

I'LL BE JUST ANOTHER THAN THAT. I'M FINISHED.

OKAY, NOW I GET MY.
