12:34CASEY HONEYCUTT.

12:40>> GOOD EVENING, MADAM MAYOR.

12:44LAST MONTH MYSELF AND MANY

12:45OTHERS CAME BEFORE YOU TO

12:47SPEAK OF THE CONCERNS OF

12:48INVASION AND PRIVACY AND

12:49SAFETY RISKS THAT FALL UPON

12:52EVERY DAY PEOPLE BY USING

12:55AUTOMATED LICENSE POLITE

12:57READERS LIKE FLOCK CAMERAS.

12:59SINCE THEN, THE CALL TO

13:02ABOLISH THESE CAMERAS ARE

13:09BECOMINE INING LOUDER.

13:11MANY POLICE OFFICERS ARE

13:16MISUSING THESE CAMERAS.

13:18THERE IS NO NET POSITIVE THAT

13:21THESE CAMERAS BRING THE

13:22COMMUNITY.

13:25WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN MANY

13:25REASONS TO JUSTIFY THE USE OF

13:29ALPRs.

13:29WE'RE TOLD THEY'RE A FORCE

13:32MULTIPLIER FOR POLICE, THE

13:33STATE ALREADY ENJOYS A

13:35MONOPOLY OF FORCE.

13:38WE'VE BEEN TOLD THEY CAN

13:40PREVENT CRIMES.

13:43THE MOST FRUSTRATING EXCUSE IS

13:44THAT IF YOU WEREN'T DOING

13:46ANYTHING WRONG, YOU HAVE

13:47NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

13:49I FIND THAT INTERESTING,

13:50ESPECIALLY SINCE THE

13:51WASHINGTON, D.C., POLICE UNION

13:53HAS COME OUT AGAINST ALPRs,

13:56WHY?

13:56BECAUSE INTERNAL AFFAIRS IS

13:58USING THEM TO INVESTIGATE

13:59THEIR OFFICERS.

14:01NOW, IF THEY AREN'T DOING

14:02ANYTHING WRONG, THEY HAVE

14:03NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, OF

14:05COURSE, THEY MAY BE DOING

14:07SOMETHING WRONG, AFTER ALL,

14:09POLICE ARE REGULAR PEOPLE,

14:10FALLIBLE JUST LIKE YOU AND ME,

14:12OR MAYBE THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT

14:13WE ALL UNDERSTAND, THAT MASS

14:16SURVEILLANCE IS WRONG, AND

14:17HAVE A NEZTIVE IMPACT ON THOSE

14:19UNDER THAT SURVEILLANCE, WE'VE

14:21BECOME TOO COMFORTABLE WITH

14:25IMPLEMENTING BLEEDING EDGE

14:27PROPERTIES.

14:27THE COMPANY THAT IS CREATE

14:28THESE AI MACHINES HAVE BEEN

14:30ALL OVER OUR NEWS FEEDS

14:31LATELY, WARNING US HOW

14:33DANGEROUS THEY ARE.

14:34BY USING THESE CAMERAS,

14:35ESSENTIALLY WE ARE GIVING

14:37REALTIME TARGETING INFORMATION

14:38TO THE TERMINATOR THAT THEY

14:41ARE BUILDING.

14:42CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS HAVE

14:43BEEN HAPPENING ABOUT THESE

14:47CAMERAS.

14:48WE CAN EASILY BAN THE USE OF

14:49THESE CAMERAS AND ALL LIKE

14:52THEM CITYWIDE.

14:56MR. BONNA, IF YOU WIN YOUR

14:57ELECTION, I HOPE YOU WILL

14:58BRING THIS TO THE CAPITAL.

15:00I MISS THE CUN ASK THE I GREW

15:02UP IN.

15:03I MISS THE DAYS WHEN POLICE

15:04OFFICERS DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THEY

15:05WERE ABOUT TO INVADE IRAQ TO

15:08GO ON PATROL.

15:09THE WAR ON TERROR HAS COME

15:11HOME.

15:11IF I WANTED TO LIVE IN A

15:12COUNTRY THAT TRACKS MY EVERY

15:15MOVEMENT, LOGS ALL OF MY

15:18CONTACTS, AN AI POWERED

15:19MACHINE CAN DECIDE TO TAKE MY

15:21LIFE ON ITS OWN BEHALF, I

15:22WOULD MOVE TO ISRAEL.

15:24THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

15:25>> MAYOR: THANK YOU.

15:34[ APPLAUSE ]

15:35>> MAYOR: GEORGE BORGESS.

15:40GOOD EVENING.

15:41>> GOOD EVENING.

15:44MY NAME IS JORGE BORGESS, I

15:47LIVE IN PORT ST. LUCIE, I'M

15:49ASKING TO YOU REMOVE FLOCK

15:52CAMERAS, AND TAKE FURTHER

15:54ACTION.

15:54ON JULY 27th, THE CHIEF TOLD

15:57COUNCIL THAT OUR POLICE HAVE

15:59USED LICENSE PLATE READERS

16:01SINCE ABOUT 2022.

16:03MANY SAY THEY'RE LICENSE PLATE

16:04READERS AND NOT A TOOL FOR

16:06SURVEILLANCE.

16:06I WOULD LIKE TO DRAW YOUR

16:08ATTENTION TO THAT 2022

16:12PROCUREMENT CONTRACT, PUBLIC

16:13SAFETY VIDEO SURVEILLANCE

16:15EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE AND

16:16ACCESSORIES.

16:17SURVEILLANCE ISN'T A SIDE

16:18EFFECT OF THE SYSTEM, IT'S HOW

16:20THIS EQUIPMENT WAS DESCRIBED

16:21IN ITS OWN PROCUREMENT.

16:27THE CHIEF SAID THE CAMERAS DO

16:29NOT USE BIOMETRICS, I BELIEVE

16:31THAT IS THE CASE TODAY, BUT

16:33TODAY'S SETTINGS CANNOT

16:34PROTECT US FROM TOMORROW'S

16:36SOFTWARE.

16:37IN MY HANDS, I HAVE A BLOG

16:40POST WRITTEN BY RICK SMITH

16:42WHERE HE STATES, MANY POLICE

16:45LEADERS DESCRIBE FACIAL

16:46RECOGNITION AS A GAME CHANGER

16:47FOR INVESTIGATIONS.

16:48I ALSO BROUGHT A FLOCK GROUP

16:52PATENT, THE DESCRIPTION

16:53DISCUSSES SEARCHES USING FACE

16:56RECOGNITION DATA POINTS.

16:57WE ALL ARE FAMILIAR WITH RING

17:00CAMERAS.

17:00WHEN RING CAMERAS FIRST CAME

17:01OUT, THEY ALLOWED YOU TO

17:04IDENTIFY MOVEMENT AND

17:07VISITORS.

17:07NOW THE TECHNOLOGY ALLOWS YOU

17:09TO FIND OUT IF AMAZON DROPPED

17:11OFF A PACKAGE AT YOUR FRONT

17:14HOME, IF YOUR CHILD GOT HOME.

17:16HOW DID IT DO THAT?

17:20FACIAL RECOGNITION.

17:21THAT'S HOW THESE THINGS WORK.

17:23ON SEPTEMBER 1st, OUR POLICE

17:26ANNOUNCED A PAUSE AND SAID 7

17:29CAMERAS WOULD BE REMOVED.

17:31I COUNTED 8 OUT OF 22 CAMERAS

17:33STILL STANDING AT LOCATIONS I

17:35BELIEVE REQUIRE A STATE

17:37RIGHT-OF-WAY REVIEW.

17:39I HAVE THEIR LOCATIONS FOR

17:41STAFF TO VERIFY.

17:44MY COUNT EXCLUDES GLADES

17:45CUTOFF ROAD.

17:52I SUBMITTED AN AGENDA REQUEST,

17:56COUNCILMAN BONNA SUPPORTED

17:57BRINGING IT FORWARD.

17:5827 DAYS LATER, IS NOT ON

18:01TONIGHT'S AGENDA.

18:02I AM AMENDING MY REQUEST, AND

18:04ASKING THE COUNCILMEMBERS TO

18:05MAKE THE FOLLOWING MOTION.

18:08DIRECT STAFF TO STOP ISSUING

18:10CITY PERMITS, AUTOMATED

18:12LICENSE PLATE READERS AND ANY

18:14OTHER AUTOMATED VEHICLE

18:16IDENTIFICATION OR TRACKING

18:19SYSTEMS, REGARDLESS OF

18:20MANUFACTURER OR BRAND, WITHIN

18:20CITY OWNED OR CONTROLLED

18:23RIGHT-OF-WAYS.

18:23DIRECT STAFF TO REMOVE 30 DAY

18:26REMOVAL SERVICE, IN THOSE

18:27RIGHT-OF-WAYS, AND TAKE EVERY

18:29LAWFUL STEP NECESSARY TO

18:31ACCOMPLISH THEIR REMOVAL

18:33CONSISTENT WITH APPLICABLE

18:35CONTRACTS, NOTICE REQUIREMENTS

18:36AND DUE PROCESS.

18:37PLEASE BRING THIS FORWARD FOR

18:40A VOTE.

18:42THANK YOU.

18:44>> MAYOR: THANK YOU, SIR.

18:49[ APPLAUSE ]

18:50>> MAYOR: STEVEN GRIER?

19:03MY NAME IS DR. STEVEN GRIER,

19:07I'M SUING MAYOR SHANNON MARTIN

19:10AND THE CITY AND FLOCK IN

19:12FEDERAL COURT.

19:13VERY GOOD TIMING, I DIDN'T

19:14KNOW THOSE PEOPLE WOULD BE

19:16HERE.

19:16IN MY LITIGATION, I USE CAUSES

19:19OF ACTION OF VIOLATION OF THE

19:224th AMENDMENT FOR WARRANTLESS

19:24SEARCHES, VIOLATION OF THE

19:25SECOND AMENDMENT, IT'S THE

19:27ONLY LAWSUIT OF ITS KIND

19:29AGAINST FLOCK, BECAUSE YOU'RE

19:31TRACKING PEOPLE GOING TOO AND

19:34FROE FROM GUN RANGES, CLEARLY

19:36A VIOLATION OF THE SECOND

19:37AMENDMENT.

19:38ALSO, THE FLORIDA CONSTITUTION

19:40IS STRONGER THAN THE FEDERAL

19:42CONSTITUTION.

19:44IT SPECIFICALLY HAS ARTICLE 1,

19:46PROTECTION OF PRIVACY.

19:50SO AS YOUR LAWYERS KNOW, I

19:52PROPOSED A CONSENT DECREE, AND

19:54I'M HERE IN PUBLIC SO THE

19:56PUBLIC KNOWS ABOUT IT, WE CAN

19:57END A MILLION DOLLARS OF

19:59LITIGATION AND GOING TO THE

20:00SUPREME COURT, IF YOU ALL SIGN

20:03THE CONSENT DECREE.

20:04SO THAT'S MOSTLY HERE TO MAKE

20:06SURE THE PUBLIC KNOWS THAT.

20:10AND OBVIOUSLY, WE'LL TALK TO

20:11YOUR LAWYERS AND SO FORTH, I

20:13DON'T NEED AN ANSWER HERE,

20:14UNLESS YOU WANT TO ADDRESS

20:18THAT.

20:18SO WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS

20:20THERE?

20:20DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS.

20:22>> MAYOR: THIS ISN'T A

20:23DIALOGUE, SIR.

20:24YOU CAN SPEAK FOR UP TO THREE

20:27MINUTES, AND THEN COUNCIL CAN,

20:29AT THE END OF PUBLIC COMMENT,

20:32THE COUNCIL WANTS TO RESPOND

20:33THEY CAN.

20:34>> THAT'S FINE.

20:35AND THE OTHER THING IS, THERE

20:41ARE POLICE OFFICERS IN THIS

20:43ROOM, WHAT'S THE NEED FOR

20:45THAT?

20:45THAT'S CLEARLY A VIOLATION OF

20:46THE FIRST AMENDMENT, WITH THE

20:47STROKE OF A PEN, I COULD ADD

20:49THAT AS A CAUSE OF ACTION.

20:52THIS IS A TREND I'VE BEEN

20:53SEEING FOR TEN YEARS, IT'S

20:55VERY ALARMING.

20:56UP IN NEW YORK, WHERE I LIVED

20:57FOR 20 YEARS, I GOT A FEDERAL

20:59ORDER TO STOP THIS KIND OF

21:01THING, WHAT I SEE GOING ON

21:03NOW, IS TEN TIMES WORSE THAN

21:04WHAT HAPPENED TO ME 10 YEARS

21:06AGO IN NEW YORK.

21:07AND WE HAVE TO PUT A STOP TO

21:10THAT, YOU DON'T NEED 12 POLICE

21:11OFFICERS AT A CITY COUNCIL,

21:13THAT'S A VIOLATION OF THE

21:14FIRST AMENDMENT, BECAUSE

21:16YOU'RE SCARING PEOPLE.

21:18YOUR PREAMBLE WAS MEANT TO

21:20CHILL THE FIRST AMENDMENT.

21:28ANYTHING ELSE?

21:33>> MAYOR: DOTTY SPENCE?

21:36>> THANKS FOR NOT CALLING ME

21:37FIRST THIS TIME, I APPRECIATE

21:38IT.

21:42I STARTED RESEARCHING HOW LONG

21:44IT TAKES TO BUILD A 6,000

21:46STATE STADIUM, AND FOUND

21:48VARIOUS ANSWERS, THE IMAGINE

21:50ORDER SEEMED TO BE CONSISTENT

21:53WITH 18 TO 24 MONTHS.

21:54RESIDENTS WERE TOLD THE

21:56STADIUM WOULD START OPERATIONS

21:57IN 2027, DO WE REALLY BELIEVE

21:59THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN?

22:01THERE'S NO GROUND THAT'S BEEN

22:03BROKEN OVER THERE, I GO BY

22:04THERE A LOT.

22:06I'VE SEEN A NICE NEW SPLINTER

22:08VANOVER THERE, WITH THE

22:09PAINTED LOGO, WITH THE CITY OF

22:12PORTE ST. LUCIE AND ALL OF

22:13THAT ON IT, WHERE DID THAT

22:15COME FROM, WAS IT PAID FOR BY

22:16THE CITY OR PAID FOR BY THE

22:20DEVELOPER.

22:21YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER RIGHT

22:22NOW.

22:23I HAVE SEEN SOME UPDATED PLANS

22:25THAT THEY'VE POSTED ON THEIR

22:28WEBSITE ABOUT THE STADIUM.

22:29AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE PICTURES

22:31ARE VASTLY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT

22:33THEY SHOWED HERE, IT'S A LOT

22:35SMALLER, THE OVERHANGS ARE NOT

22:38WHAT THEY SHOW -- THE ORIGINAL

22:40PICTURE, IS IT GOING TO BE A

22:42BAIT AND SWITCH.

22:43WE WERE TOLD WE WERE GOING TO

22:45GET TWO LANES NORTH, TWO

22:47SOUTH, WE GOT ONE NORTH AND

22:49ONE SOUTH.

22:49IT WAS BLAMED ON THE COST OF

22:51THE CONSTRUCION.

22:52DOES THE CITY -- THE

22:54REDEVELOPMENT ZONE, DO YOU

22:55GUYS HAVE ANYTHING WHERE YOU

22:57CAN START FINDING -- THESE

23:01DEVELOPERS THAT WANT TO COME

23:02OUT, THEY WANT TO BUILD THESE

23:03THINGS IF THEY DON'T GET THEM

23:05DONE.

23:06HAVE A START DATE.

23:07IF YOU DON'T START BY THIS

23:08DATE, YOU GET A FINE.

23:09IF CURE NOT AT THE MID POINT,

23:11YOU GET HIT WITH A FINE.

23:13FIND WAYS TO BUILD A REVENUE

23:16WE'RE GOING TO LOSE UNDER

23:18AMENDMENT 3 ANYWAY.

23:19I KNOW THERE'S A BUSINESS

23:20COMING IN, BUT THERE'S A LOT

23:21OF TAX BREAKS WITH STUFF LIKE

23:23THAT, THEY'RE GETTING THE USE

23:24OF THE PARKING LOT OVER THERE,

23:26WHICH THEY CAN CHARGE PEOPLE

23:27TO PARK OVER THERE, COMING UP

23:30IN THE FUTURE.

23:30BUT I WAS JUST CURIOUS, DO WE

23:32HAVE ANYTHING LIKE THAT, THE

23:34OTHER THING I HAVE, AT&T IS

23:36WORKING ON A FIBER WIRE ON MY

23:38STREET.

23:39IT'S BECOME A DISASTER, I'M

23:41GOING TO BE POINT BLANK.

23:43EVERYONE'S YARDS HAVE RUTS IN

23:44THEM.

23:45THEY HAVE TRUCKS PARKED 6 TO 8

23:47DEEP COMING DOWN THE ROAD.

23:48YOU HAVE TO GO AROUND INTO

23:50PEOPLE'S GRASS, ON TOP OF

23:51THEIR BIG TRUCKS THAT ARE ON

23:53PEOPLE'S GRASS, SO THERE ARE

23:55RUTS ALL ALONG THE STREET.

23:56THE STREET IS BREAKING APART,

23:59IT'S RIDICULOUS, THEY'RE

24:00ALLOWED TO HAVE THIS MUCH

24:00VEHICLES THERE.

24:04THE HOMELESS, ARE WE DOING

24:06ANYTHING ABOUT THE HOMELESS?

24:08I'M SEEING SUCH AN INCREASE,

24:09AND IT MATCHES WITH THE

24:12FORECLOSURES, THE FORECLOSURES

24:14IN THIS AREA ARE SKYROCKETING,

24:17I THINK ST. LUCIE IS THIRD IN

24:20THE NATION.

24:21WE MAKE IT SEEM LIKE IT'S A

24:23GREAT PLACE TO COME AND LIVE,

24:24WE DON'T HAVE THE JOB CANS TO

24:26SUPPORT PEOPLE PAYING FOR THE

24:27BILLS TO LIVE HERE IN PORT ST.

24:29LUCIE.

24:29WHAT ARE WE DOING TO HELP?

24:31WHAT ARE WE DOING TO ATTRACT

24:35BUSINESSES THAT PROVIDE

24:36SERVICES HERE, HAVE A LIVABLE

24:39WAGE.

24:39I'M JUST CURIOUS, AND I'M OUT

24:39OF TIME.

24:40>> MAYOR: THANK YOU.

24:50[ APPLAUSE ]

24:51>> MAYOR: I HAVE THREE PEOPLE

24:53SIGNED UP TO SPEAK FOR 7E,

24:55THAT'S A CONSENT AGENDA ITEM.

24:59I'LL HAVE YOU COME UP NOW IF

25:02YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK RATHER

25:04THAN ON THE CONSENT.

25:07>> SO THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR

25:09AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS FOR

25:11GIVING US A FEW MINUTES.

25:30REALLY COOL.

25:31FOUR YEARS AGO, I MOVED TO

25:36THIS CITY FROM PENNSYLVANIA, I

25:40PLAYERS, AND IT WAS A PLACE

26:08THAT EVENT IS AN EVENT THAT

26:09CARRIES THE NAME OF THE CITY.

26:11OF OUR CITY, AS WELL AS THE

26:13SAND HILL CRANE, WHICH I

26:14THINK -- I DON'T KNOW WHO MADE

26:16YOUR LOGO YOU CAN BUT IT'S THE

26:18GREATEST LOGO.

26:18IT'S FANTASTIC.

26:20I WANTED TO SHOW EVERYBODY THE

26:21NEW LOGO O THAT WE

26:26INCORPORATED INTO THE PORT ST.

26:27LUCIE OPEN, THAT'S THE FIRST

26:30PROFESSIONAL TENNIS TOURNAMENT

26:46HOTELS WITH PLAYERS AND

26:48COACHES.

26:48AND FAMILIES AND MEDIA.

26:52IT'S AN EXCITING START.

26:53I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE

26:55FOLLOWED ANY OF THIS, BUT UP

26:58IN VERO BEACH, DELRAY BEACH,

27:01THESE EVENTS HAVE BECOME VERY

27:02IMPORTANT PIECES OF THE

27:02ECONOMY.

27:03AND OF THE COMMUNITY.

27:06WANT TO START WITH SOMETHING

27:07THAT WE REQUEST ALL ENJOY AND

27:09GROW WITH.

27:17FRIENDLY.

27:17AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE SOME

27:19OF THE MOST EXCITING ATHLETES,

27:21WHICH ARE GOING TO BE ALL OVER

27:23ESPN IN THE COMING YEARS.

27:24IT'S A COOL EVENT, AND WE'RE

27:26HOPING WE CAN GET THE SUPPORT

27:29OF PORT ST. LUCIE, AND BY

27:29THAT, THAT COULD BE HELPED

27:31WITH SERVICES, THAT COULD BE

27:33HELPED WITH US COMMISSIONING A

27:34LOCAL ARTIST TO MAKE THE

27:36TROPHIES FOR THE EVENT.

27:38BUT IT'S GOING TO BE STARTING

27:39NOVEMBER 30th, RUN FOR A WEEK,

27:42AND IT'S GOING TO BE -- I

27:44THINK BECOME A SERIOUS

27:45TRADITION IN THE CITY, SO

27:47WE'RE SO EXCITED ABOUT IT WE

27:52WANTED TO GET THE COMMUNITY

27:53AND CITY BEHIND THE EVENT.

27:55AND WITH THAT SAID, I'M GOING

27:56TO TURN THIS OVER TO AL.

28:00HE WANTED TO SAY A FEW THINGS.

28:01>> I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING

28:03VERY QUICK.

28:04I USED TO WORK IN IMG FOR 10

28:08YEARS.

28:08WITH THIS TOURNAMENT, WHAT WE

28:09WANT TO ATTRACT IS THE

28:11PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS TO CALL

28:13THIS HOME.

28:14IT'S A RARE PLACE WHERE YOU

28:16CAN HAVE ALL THE PHEN IS

28:17COURTS OR THE SURROUNDINGS

28:19WITH THE HOTEL AND THE MEDICAL

28:24STAFF AND EVERYTHING.

28:25THAT'S OUR START.

28:26WE'RE GOING TO HOLD THREE MORE

28:28TOURNAMENTS FOR WOMEN IN

28:29JANUARY AND FEBRUARY.

28:30THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR

28:31SUPPORT.

28:31>> THANK YOU.

28:40>> MAYOR: THANK YOU.

28:41WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO

28:43ADDRESS PUBLIC TO BE HEARD?

28:50COME FORWARD, PLEASE.

28:52PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE

28:54RECORD.

28:54>> MY NAME IS JAMES REYNOLDS,

28:56NICE TO MEET YOU ALL TONIGHT.

28:58I WANT TO ADD ON TO THE FLOCK

29:00CAMERA DISCUSSION THAT I

29:04REALLY THINK -- I DON'T WANT

29:06TO LIVE IN AN OTHER WELLIAN

29:10STATE.

29:11I THINK YOU'RE LAYING THE

29:12GROUNDWORK FOR ONE.

29:14I COULD SEE A SOCIETY THAT'S

29:16SAFER, IF WE LET POLICE KICK

29:18IN THE DOORS AND SEARCH THE

29:20HOUSE.

29:21YOU HAVE TO DRAW A LINE

29:23SOMEWHERE, AND IT'S REALLY UP

29:24TO YOU GUYS WHERE THAT LINE IS

29:28DRAWN AT THE MOMENT.

29:29AND I REALLY THINK YOU GUYS

29:31SHOULD JUST THINK ABOUT WHAT

29:32KIND OF SOCIETY YOU WANT TO

29:34BUILD FOR YOUR GRANDCHILDREN

29:38AND CHILDREN.

29:39WE'RE NUMBER ONE IN SAFETY,

29:41I'M CORRECT ON THIS ARE WE

29:44STILL NUMBER ONE?

29:46AND NUMBER 3 IN TRAFFIC, AS

29:48FAR AS I REMEMBER.

29:50AND YOU GUYS WERE DOING THAT

29:51WITHOUT FLOCK CAMERAS, THAT'S

29:53A GOOD EXAMPLE OF YOU GUYS

29:54DOING GOOD THINGS.

29:57SO I WANT TO LEAVE WITH YOU

29:59THAT, AND JUST HOPE YOU GUYS

30:01CAN AT LEAST -- WHEN YOU SIT

30:02DOWN TONIGHT, THINK ABOUT

30:03THAT, BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE

30:05REALLY IN CHARGE OF THAT, AND

30:07IT'S KIND OF WEIRD, YOU KNOW,

30:09AND YOU GUYS ALREADY HAVE

30:11CAMERAS AT EVERY TRAFFIC LIGHT

30:13MOSTLY, IT WOULD PROBABLY BE

30:14BETTER TO HIRE A COUPLE GUYS

30:16THAT WATCH SCREENS, THEY CAN

30:19GET A CHECK.

30:20INSTEAD OF PAYING SOME

30:22MULTINATIONAL COMPANY, I DON'T

30:24KNOW.

30:24I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU'D REALLY

30:25HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE, A

30:27COUPLE GUYS WATCHING A SCREEN,

30:28CAN YOU REALLY HOLD THEM

30:31ACCOUNTABLE.

30:32IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU GUYS

30:33CAN FORM A MOTION TO AT LEAST

30:35VOTE ON THE FUNDING, SO WE

30:37CAN -- SO THE PUBLIC CAN

30:39REALLY FIGURE OUT WHERE YOU

30:40STAND ON THIS SUBJECT.

30:42AND THAT'S ALL I REALLY GOT.

30:43IF I GOT A MINUTE, IF YOU GUYS

30:46CAN ALSO LOOK INTO CHICKENS,

30:49I'D APPRECIATE THAT.

30:50BECAUSE I'D REALLY APPRECIATE

30:53BEING ABLE TO HAVE A COUPLE

30:54CHICKENS IN MY BACKYARD.

30:57I THINK IT'S KIND OF -- IT'S

30:58ODD THAT YOU GUYS DON'T ALLOW

30:59THAT.

30:59THAT'S ENOUGH OF THAT.

31:01YOU GUYS HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.

31:03>> MAYOR: THANK YOU.

31:17[ APPLAUSE ]

31:17>> MAYOR: WOULD ANYONE ELSE

31:20LIKE TO ADDRESS PUBLIC TO BE

31:21HEARD?

31:22SEEING NONE, I'LL CLOSE PUBLIC

31:24TO BE HEARD.

31:26>> I BELIEVE THAT PUBLIC

31:28SAFETY IS IMPORTANT, I'VE

31:29ALWAYS BACKED LAW ENFORCEMENT,

31:31I BELIEVE THAT OUR CIVIL LIB

31:33ERTLS AND CONSTITUTION IS

31:36IMPORTANT.

31:36I HAVE CALLED PERSONALLY, ME

31:38PERSONALLY HAVE CALLED FOR A

31:40COMPLETE PAUSE ON OUR PROGRAM

31:44UNTIL WE CAN DEVELOP AN

31:47ORDINANCE THAT IDENTIFIES THE

31:50CITY'S OFFICIAL POLICY ON

31:51THIS, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE,

31:52AND I KNOW A LOT OF THESE

31:55THINGS ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED,

31:56WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THERE'S

31:59PUNISHMENTS FOR MISUSE, WE

32:00NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT

32:02RETENTION PERIODS ARE

32:04ADDRESSED, OUR AUDIT IS

32:05COMPLETE.

32:05I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN LOCAL

32:08INCIDENTS OF MISUSE, AND SO

32:11THIS ISN'T SOMETHING ABSTRACT.

32:13WE HAVE TO BALANCE THESE

32:15PRIORITIES, AND I THINK A

32:16PAUSE IS REASONABLE.

32:17I THINK A PAUSE IS WHERE MOST

32:20PEOPLE ARE, AND THAT IS WHAT I

32:23SUPPORT.

32:23IT WOULDN'T INDEFINITELY

32:24CONTINUE THE PROGRAM, I'M NOT

32:26CALLING TO HAVE THEM TAKEN

32:28DOWN IMMEDIATELY.

32:28WHAT I'M CALLING FOR IS TO

32:30PAUSE THE PROGRAM, AND WHEN I

32:32SAY PAUSE, I MEAN PAUSE, AND

32:35LET'S GET THIS POLICY RIGHT,

32:36SO IT PROTECTS BOTH OUR

32:38LIBERTIES AND SAFETY, THANK

32:38YOU.

32:41>> MAYOR: THANK YOU.

32:42>> MADAM MAYOR, JUST FOR THE

32:43RECORD, I KNOW YOU MAY HAVE

32:45NOT SEEN IT, THE CHIEF DID

32:48ISSUE A POLICY AS WELL AS A

32:50WHITE PAPER SPECIFICALLY ON

32:53THIS, SO I'M JUST -- I WANTED

32:55TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S -- IT

32:58CAME AT LIKE INCOME 06, I'M

33:02NOT SURE EVERYONE GOT TO SEE

33:03IT.

33:03>> I DID SEE THAT, I THINK

33:05THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A

33:06POLICY, AND A PAPER THAT'S

33:08EMAILED AND A PUBLIC

33:09DISCUSSION ON AN IMPORTANT

33:11ISSUE.

33:11WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, I AGREE,

33:12BUT I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE

33:15A DISCUSSION.

33:16AND I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THE

33:18PAUSE UNTIL THAT DISCUSSION

33:19HAPPENS.

33:20YOU.

33:20>> SAID YOU WANTED TO SEE A

33:22POLICY COME FORWARD, I WAS

33:23NOTING IT FOR THE RECORD THAT

33:28HE WANTED A POLICY.

33:29THE CHIEF HAS PROVIDED -- I

33:31MEAN, I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE

33:32YOUR OPINION, BUT I THINK IN

33:34FAIRNESS, BECAUSE THE CHIEF

33:35ISN'T HERE THIS EVENING, I

33:36THINK THE CONVERSATION, IF

33:37IT'S GOING TO COME FORWARD,

33:39NEEDS TO COME FORWARD WHEN THE

33:41CHIEF OF POLICE IS IN THE

33:42ROOM, HE PROVIDED THAT

33:43INFORMATION.

33:43I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT BOTH

33:45SIDES ARE AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE

33:46TO LOOK AT.

33:47>> AND THAT'S FAIR, AND THE

33:49LAST TIME WE PUBLICLY

33:50DISCUSSED THIS I KNOW COUNCIL

33:52WAS ON BOARD WITH HAVING THE

33:54CITY DEVELOP AN ORDINANCE.

33:56I'M SUPPORTIVE OF HAVING THE

33:59CITY SUPPORT AN ORDINANCE THAT

34:00ADDRESSES THOSE THINGS.

34:02IT'S IRRESPONSIBLE OF US TO

34:04PUT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE.

34:06UNTIL THE DEBATED VETTED

34:10POLICY WITH PUBLIC INPUT

34:12SHOULD COME BEFORE WE HAVE

34:14THESE CAMERAS WHICH ARE A

34:16DELICATE BALANCE BETWEEN

34:17SAFETY AND CONSTITUTIONAL

34:18PROTECTION.

34:19SO I AGREE THERE'S DIFFERENCE

34:20OF OPINION, BUT I JUST HAD TO

34:22PUT ON THE RECORD THAT I

34:25SUPPORT A PAUSE UNTIL COUNCIL

34:26HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO VET

34:30THIS.

34:30>> ALSO ON THAT WHITE PAPER,

34:32THE POLICE CHIEF ADDRESSED

34:34THAT THE NINE CAMERAS THAT ARE

34:35IN THE COUNTY RIGHT-OF-WAY

34:37WILL BE TAKEN DOWN BY THE

34:39VENDOR, AND THE NINE CAMERAS

34:40IN THE STATE RIGHT-OF-WAY,

34:43WILL BE TAKEN DOWN BY THE

34:46VENDOR.

34:46THE CITY CAN'T TAKE THEM DOWN,

34:47THE VENDOR NEEDS TO TAKE THEM

34:48DOWN.

34:53THOSE 18 CAMERAS WILL BE TAKEN

34:54DOWN.

34:56>> MAYOR: MR. CITY ATTORNEY,

34:59CAN YOU ADDRESS THE FACT THAT

35:01THE POLICE CHIEF HAS

35:04INSTITUTED A PAUSE BASED ON

35:05THE MEMO THAT CAME OUT A FEW

35:07WEEKS AGO.

35:08>> THERE'S AN OPERATIONAL ROLL

35:10BOOK OF HOW THE ALPRs ARE

35:14OPERATING, THE SPECIFICS ARE

35:17LISTED IN HIS WHITE PAPER.

35:19THEY ADDRESS A LOT OF THE

35:20ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED.

35:21>> AND IT'S GOING TO COME

35:23FORWARD IN THE FUTURE, BASED

35:24ON WHAT THE COUNCIL DIRECTED

35:27AT A PRIOR MEETING, CORRECT?

35:30>> YES.

35:31>> MAYOR: I JUST WANT TO MAKE

35:32SURE THAT'S STILL IN PLAY.

35:35>> MADAM MAYOR, THE AT&T ISSUE

35:38THAT WAS BROUGHT UP, WE'LL

35:40FOLLOW UP WITH HER.

35:41WE'VE BEEN HAVING SOME ISSUES

35:42OUT THERE, WITH SOME OF THESE

35:44CONTRACTORS, WE WOULD LIKE TO

35:45GET MORE DETAILED INFORMATION

35:47ON THAT, AND WE'LL FOLLOW UP

35:48ON THE CRA AND THE SCHEDULING

35:52OF THIS.

35:54THE DATE IS SEPTEMBER 30th

35:55THAT THE CAMERAS WILL BE TAKEN

35:56DOWN.

36:00>> MAYOR: OKAY.

50:21>> MAYOR: GOOD EVENING.

50:23>> GOOD EVENING, CHARLIE PRUE

50:26WITH THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT, A

50:28LITTLE BACKGROUND ON ME, I'VE

50:29BEEN WITH THE CITY FOR 17

50:32YEARS, DEPUTY DIRECTOR, AND

50:33THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME

50:35TONIGHT.

50:35I'LL BE MAKING TWO

50:37PRESENTATIONS, THIS

50:37PRESENTATION IS GOING TO BE

50:38REGARDING THE PLANNING AND

50:39ZONING FEES, AND JUST A LITTLE

50:41BACK STORY OF WHY WE'RE

50:45BRINGING FEES FORTH, YOU MAY

50:48REMEMBER IN 2025, COUNCIL

50:50APPROVED US GOING OUT AND

50:51PROCURING THE SERVICES OF A

50:53COST RECOVERY CONSULTANT, SO

50:56WE'VE BEEN GOING AROUND

50:57DEPARTMENT BY DEPARTMENT AND

50:58ANALYZING FEES TO ENSURE THAT

51:00THE COST TO PROVIDE THAT

51:03SERVICE IS REFLECTED IN THE

51:05RATE THAT'S CHARGED.

51:06AND SO GETTING INTO PLANNING

51:08AND ZONING SPECIFICALLY, THE

51:10LAST TIME THAT A MAJOR FEE

51:13SCHEDULE WAS UPDATED WAS IN

51:152007, SO IT'S BEEN SOME TIME

51:17THAT WE'VE TAKEN A

51:18COMPREHENSIVE LOOK AT ALL OUR

51:20PLANNING AND ZONING FEES, WE

51:22DID THAT WITH MGT, I'M GOING

51:24TO GO THROUGH THE RESULTS OF

51:25THAT ANALYSIS AND STAFF'S

51:27RECOMMENDATIONS.

51:27AND SO AGAIN, WE'RE LOOKING AT

51:29THESE FEES BECAUSE THEY MAY NO

51:31LONGER REFLECT THE TRUE COST

51:33OF PROVIDING THIS 16SS.

51:35WITH PLANNING AND ZONING

51:38SPECIFICALLY, THEIR FUNDED OUT

51:39OF THE GENERAL FUND, ANY TIME

51:40THE FEES DO NOT COVER THE COST

51:43TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES, THE

51:45SHORTFALL IS ABSORBED BY THE

51:46GENERAL FUND.

51:47WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT THE

51:50PEOPLE THAT ARE TAKING

51:51ADVANTAGE OF THESE SERVICES

51:52ARE PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE.

51:54AND WE DO NOW HAVE A COST

51:56RECOVERY POLICY, THAT DOES

51:58ESTABLISH A 3 TO 5 YEAR REVIEW

52:01CYCLE.

52:01SO THREE YEARS FOR PROPRIETARY

52:05FUNDS, GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS.

52:07WE CAN ENSURE WE'RE KEEPING

52:09PACE WITH THESE SERVICES.

52:11CLARIFYING FOUR THOSE AT HOME

52:12THAT MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH

52:14WHAT THESE FEES ARE.

52:15THESE ARE USER FEES THAT ARE

52:17PAID BY DEVELOPERS OR WILL

52:19APPLICANTS REQUESTING A VERY

52:20SPECIFIC SERVICE.

52:22THIS IS NOT -- THESE FEES ARE

52:23NOT -- I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT

52:25RATES, SO I'M NOT TALKING

52:26ABOUT UTILITY RATES, TAXES OR

52:29STORM WATER RATES, THESE ARE

52:31FEES THAT SOMEONE IS ASSESSED

52:35IF THEY REQUEST A SPECIFIC

52:36SERVICE FROM PLANNING AND

52:38ZONING, AND JUST SOME

52:39EXAMPLES, TO PAINT A MENTAL

52:41PICTURE, A LOT OF REVIEWS,

52:43DEVELOPMENT SITE PLAN REVIEW,

52:46ARCHITECTURALRY VIEWS,

52:47ACCESSORY USE AND OCCUPANCY

52:50REVIEWS, AND DEVELOPMENT

52:52AGREEMENTS, ANNEXATION

52:54AGREEMENTS, MOBILITY FEE

52:56CALCULATIONS, THESE ARE

52:57SPECIFIC SERVICES, GENERALLY

52:59REQUESTED BY A DEVELOPER.

53:01GETTING TO THE RESULTS OF THE

53:02ANALYSIS FROM THE CONSULTANT,

53:04SO WE ANALYZED ALL THE

53:06SERVICES PROVIDED IN FISCAL

53:08YEAR 2025, THAT HAD A TOTAL

53:10COST OF $1.5 MILLION.

53:12THE FEES GENERATED BASED ON

53:14THE CURRENT RATES WAS 850,000.

53:17THAT WAS A COST RECOVERY

53:19PERCENTAGE OF 56%.

53:21AND SO THERE WAS A $650,000

53:24SHORTFALL IN SERVICES BASED ON

53:26THE CURRENT RATES.

53:27SO THE CURRENT FEES RECOVER

53:30APPROXIMATELY HALF OF THE COST

53:31TO PROVIDE THESE SERVICES.

53:34AND SO WHAT'S CHANGING, OUT OF

53:36THE 67 SERVICES ANALYZED, WE

53:38ARE REQUESTING ADJUSTING 44

53:40EXISTING FEES, WHILE KEEPING

53:4315 FEES UNCHANGED AT THEIR

53:45CURRENT RATES.

53:46BUT WE'RE ALSO REQUESTING THE

53:48ADDITION OF 8 NEW FEES

53:50PROPOSED, AND I'LL GET INTO

53:53THOSE 8 NEW FEES IN A MOMENT.

53:55IN THE INTEREST OF TIME, WE'RE

53:57NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL 67

53:59FEES, BUT I DID PROVIDE A

54:02COMPARISON BETWEEN THE CURRENT

54:03FEE AND THE PROPOSED AS AROUND

54:05ATTACHMENT TO THIS AGENDA ITEM

54:07FOR ALL 67.

54:08GETTING INTO THE NEW FEES, 8

54:10NEW FEES PROPOSED.

54:12ACCESSORY USE REVIEWS,

54:14LANDSCAPE INSPECTIONS, MEETING

54:17FEE, MOBILITY FEE ESTIMATES,

54:18SITE PLAN AND SUBDIVISION

54:20CONSTRUCTION PLAN AMENDMENTS

54:24AND USE AND OCCUPANCY REVIEW.

54:26LAST YEAR, THESE EIGHT

54:28SERVICES WERE PROVIDED OVER

54:302800 TIMES AT AN ESTIMATED

54:34COST OF $500,000 ANNUALLY.

54:37THESE WERE SERVICES THAT WERE

54:38PROVIDED AT NO COST, AS YOU

54:39CAN SEE, A HALF A MILLION

54:41DOLLARS, THEY ARE SIGNIFICANT.

54:45THEY'RE SIGNIFICANT IN TIME,

54:47SO WE'RE REQUESTING THESE FEES

54:50BE ADDED TO THE FEE SCHEDULE.

54:52AGAIN, WHO'S IMPACTED,

54:53PRIMARILY DEVELOPERS,

54:56CONTRACTORS, AND SERVICE

54:57APPLICANTS.

54:59FEES ONLY, WHEN A SPECIFIC

55:00SERVICE IS REQUESTED, NO

55:02CHANGE TO PROPERTY TAXES,

55:04UTILITY RATES OR STORM WATER

55:06RATES, MOST RESIDENTS WILL NOT

55:08SEE AN IMPACT OR RESULT OF

55:10THESE FEE CHANGES, WE'RE

55:11REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF SUBSIDY

55:14FROM THE GENERAL FUNNED TO

55:15PROVIDE AND ENSURE THAT THE

55:17VITAL RESOURCES OF THE GENERAL

55:18FUND ARE GOING TO THE VITAL

55:20SERVICES FOR THE RESIDENT AND

55:22NOT AN INDIVIDUAL REQUESTING

55:24THE SPECIFIC SERVICE.

55:25BASED ON THE PROPOSALS, THE

55:27FEE REVENUE WOULD INNING

55:29CREASE TO $1.4 MILLION, AND SO

55:32THAT WOULD INNING CREASE OUR

55:34COST RECOVERY FROM 56%, TO

55:3695%.

55:37AND SO WE WOULD MAKE

55:39SIGNIFICANT GAINS IN ORDER TO

55:40ENSURE THAT WE ARE GETTING THE

55:43FULL COST RECOVERY, THE REASON

55:46WHY IT'S NOT 100%, SOMEONE

55:48MIGHT BE ALREADY DOING THE

55:49CALCULATIONS IN THEIR HEAD, IS

55:51THAT SOME OF THE NEW FEES,

55:53PARTICULARLY ACCESSORY USE

55:55REVIEW AND USE IN OCCUPANCY

55:58ARE PRIMARILY RESIDENT DERIVED

56:00FEES, IF YOU BOUGHT A SHED OR

56:02DO AN ADDITION OF YOUR HOME,

56:04OR DOING -- LOOKING INTO DOING

56:07BUSINESS IN THE CITY, AND

56:08YOU'RE DOING A BUSINESS TAX

56:10LICENSE, YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN

56:14OCCUPANCY REVIEW, SINCE THOSE

56:16ARE PRIMARILY RESIDENT

56:19DERIVEDS FEES AND THEY'RE NEW,

56:20WE DID NOT GO FULL COST

56:22RECOVERY OUT OF THE OF THE

56:24GATE, THEY'RE HIGH 1R078

56:25YOU'LL, THEREFORE, THE COST

56:27RECOVERY IS A LITTLE LESS THAN

56:29100%.

56:29BUT AS FAR AS OUR COST

56:31RECOVERY TIER, IT'S AT THE

56:33HIGHEST TIER, BETWEEN 91 AND

56:35100%, SO WE ARE AT OUR HIGHEST

56:37TIER, IF YOU ASK FOR

56:39CONSULTANT, THAT IS THE BEST

56:40PRACTICE FOR THESE TYPES OF

56:41FEES.

56:49WHY GO FULL COST, IT REDUCES

56:55THE CURRENT SHORTFALL THAT'S

56:56BEING ABSORBED BY THE GENERAL

56:57FUND.

56:58IT CREATES A MORE SUSTAINABLE

57:00FUNDING MODEL.

57:01AS THE REQUEST FOR SERVICES

57:02GROWS, WE HAVE THE FUNDING TO

57:05MEET THAT DEMAND.

57:08IN ADDITION TO ADJUSTING THESE

57:10FEES, WE'VE ALSO PUT A CPI

57:13PROVISION IN THE RESOLUTION,

57:15WHICH IS SOMETHING NEW,

57:16SOMETHING SIMILAR THAT WE DO

57:17WITH OUR STORM WATER AND

57:19UTILITY RATES, IS THAT WE ARE

57:20GOING TO BE ADJUSTING THESE

57:22ANNUALLY WITH CPI.

57:24THAT KEEPS THE FEES ALIGNEDS

57:26WITH A RISING COST THAT WE

57:27SEE, AND REDUCES THE NEED FOR

57:29THESE ONE TIME INFREQUENT

57:32LARGE JUMPS MUCH SO WE CAN

57:36KEEP PACE WITH INFLATION

57:37OVERTIME.

57:38IT ALLOWS THE DEVELOPER AND

57:40CONTRACTOR TO DEVELOP THESE

57:42INCREASES ON A KNOWN TIME

57:43LINE, WHICH WILL BE EFFECTIVE

57:44OCTOBER ONE ANNUALLY.

57:48AND WE DID HOLD STAKEHOLDER

57:50ENGAGEMENT MEETINGS TO ENSURE

57:51THAT EVERYONE WAS COMFORTABLE

57:53WITH THESE INCREASES, WE HAD

57:55TWO MEETINGS IN JULY, THEY

57:57WERE HELD BOTH IN PERSON AND

57:59VIRTUALLY, PROVIDING AN

58:00OPPORTUNITY FOR STAKEHOLDERS

58:01TO GIVE US FEEDBACK BASED ON

58:04THE PROPOSED FEE SCHEDULES.

58:07WE PROPOSED THE PROPOSED FEE

58:09SCHEDULES ONLINE, AS WELL AS

58:10THE RECORDED STAKEHOLDER

58:12MEETINGS, AND WE'VE HAD NO

58:13CONCERNS OR COMMENTS REGARDING

58:15THE PROPOSED FEE INCREASES.

58:17AND SO STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION

58:18IS TO ADOPT THE PROPOSED

58:20PLANNING AND ZONING FEE

58:21SCHEDULE AS IT IS, AND

58:23ESTABLISH THE FULL COST

58:25RECOVERY TIER AS THE TARGET

58:27GOING-FORWARD, IF APPROVED,

58:28THE EFFECTIVE DATE WOULD BE

58:30OCTOBER 1, THIS THURSDAY, 2026

58:33WAS ANNUAL CPI INCREASES

58:37THEREAFTER, STARTING ON

58:39OUBL

58:39OCTOBER 1, EVERY YEAR.

58:41AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO OUR

58:42REVIEW, TO MAKE SURE THE COST

58:45REMAINS CONSISTENT WITH THE

58:46COST TO PROVIDE SERVICES.

58:49WITH THAT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER

58:49ANY QUESTIONS.

58:51>> ANY QUESTIONS?

58:56COMMENTS?

58:57GO AHEAD.

58:58>> THANKS FOR THE

58:59PRESENTATION.

59:00SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE

59:01THAT THE HISTORY ON THIS IS

59:03CLEAR TOO AS WELL.

59:04YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS

59:09READJUSTMENT BEFORE AMENDMENT

59:10THREE WAS EVER BROUGHT FORWARD

59:12OR DISCUSSED BY ANYBODY,

59:13CORRECT?

59:13>> YES, WE STARTED THIS WAY

59:16BACK IN 2025.

59:16>> THE REASON I SAY THAT, THE

59:18CITY COUNCIL HAS ACTIVELY

59:21LOWERED ITS MILLAGE RATE 11

59:24YEARS STRAIGHT.

59:24I THINK WE CONTINUE TO APPLY

59:27PRESSURE, I'M SURE, CITY

59:28MANAGER LOVES THE PRESSURE WE

59:30CONTINUE TO APPLY TO CONTINUE

59:32TO LOWER THAT RATE.

59:34AND SO UPON EXAMINATION FROM

59:37YOU AND THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT

59:38AS FAR AS HOW DO WE CONTINUE

59:39DOING THAT, THE ONLY WAY TO BE

59:41ABLE TO DO THAT, IS TO BEGIN

59:43TO STOP SUBSIDIZING THINGS

59:45THAT DON'T BENEFIT THE

59:47ENTIRETY OR MAJORITY OF THE

59:48CITY, THAT TO ME IS SMART.

59:51THAT'S SMART FISCAL

59:53RESPONSIBILITY, RIGHT?

59:54I'M GOING IN TO APPLY FOR A

59:57MODEL HOME, HOW MANY PEOPLE IN

59:59THE CITY OF PORT ST. LUCIE

1:00:00BENEFIT FROM THAT MODEL HOME?

1:00:02I WOULD ARGUE PROBABLY NOBODY,

1:00:05RIGHT?

1:00:06SO MAYBE ONE PERSON THAT MIGHT

1:00:07MOVE IN AND SEE THE MODEL

1:00:09HOME.

1:00:09VERY FEW PEOPLE ACTUALLY

1:00:11BENEFIT FROM THAT.

1:00:12SHOULD THE GENERAL FUND OR

1:00:14PROPERTY TAXES, YOU SAID

1:00:15YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT

1:00:17TAXES, BUT WE ARE.

1:00:17IF WE'RE NOT GETTING THE RIGHT

1:00:19AMOUNT IN THE FEE, THEN THE

1:00:21GENERAL FUND IS SUBSIDIZING

1:00:23THAT PARTICULAR SERVICE OUT OF

1:00:24PROPERTY TAXES.

1:00:25SO THE GOAL IS TO ENSURE THAT

1:00:30PROPERTY TAX DOLLARS ARE

1:00:33ACTUALLY SUBSIDIZING THE

1:00:34SERVICES THAT AS MANY PEOPLE

1:00:35IN THE CITY CAN ENJOY, AND IF

1:00:37WE HAVE THESE ONE OFF

1:00:40SERVICES, THAT MAYBE ONE

1:00:42PERSON BENEFITS FROM, OR ONE

1:00:44ENTITY BENEFITS FROM, THEY'RE

1:00:46PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE, OUR

1:00:48RESIDENTS AREN'T SUBSIDIZING

1:00:49THOSE MODELS, WOULD YOU SAY

1:00:51THAT'S A FAIR STATEMENT?

1:00:52>> YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT.

1:00:54YOU KIND OF HIT THE NAIL ON

1:00:55THE HEAD, TOO.

1:00:57OUR COSTS RECOVERY POLICY USED

1:01:00THE WORD PRIMARILY INDIVIDUAL

1:01:01BENEFIT, AND THAT'S WHAT THESE

1:01:02SERVICES ARE GENERALLY GOING

1:01:04TO FUND.

1:01:05SO THAT'S WHY THEY SHOULD BEAR

1:01:07BASICALLY THE FULL COST.

1:01:08>> AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S

1:01:09GOING TO HAPPEN, NOBODY DOES

1:01:12WITH AMENDMENT 3.

1:01:13DEPENDING ON THAT OUTCOME, BE

1:01:15FULLY PREPARED THAT WE WILL

1:01:16BE -- I WILL BE ONE OF FIVE

1:01:20COMING BACK, I'M SURE I WON'T

1:01:22BE THE ONLY ONE ASKING FOR

1:01:24FURTHER REDUCTIONS IN THE

1:01:24MILLAGE GOING-FORWARD.

1:01:25THANK YOU.

1:01:29>> MAYOR: ANY OTHER COMMENTS?

1:01:30>> YES, THANK YOU, MADAM

1:01:32MAYOR.

1:01:32ON THIS, I THINK, YOU KNOW,

1:01:35IT'S VERY IMPORTANT, THESE

1:01:37FEES HAVEN'T BEEN ADJUSTED

1:01:39SINCE YOU SAID 2007.

1:01:40SOME OF THEM, I'M LOOKING AT

1:01:43THEM, AND THEY'RE GOING UP

1:01:44CONSIDERABLY, AND SO I'M GLAD

1:01:46WE HAVE THE YEARLY

1:01:47ADJUSTMENTS, AND THE 3 TO 5

1:01:51YEAR REVIEW, BECAUSE THAT'S

1:01:52IMPORTANT.

1:01:53THE CITY'S GENERAL FUND SHOULD

1:01:54NOT BE SUBSIDIZING DEVELOPERS,

1:01:57DEVELOPERS CAN PAY THEIR FAIR

1:02:01SHARE.

1:02:02IF THERE'S ONE FEE THAT GIVES

1:02:03ME A LITTLE BIT OF HEARTBURN,

1:02:05I WANT TO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE

1:02:07MORE, IT'S THE USE AND

1:02:09OCCUPANCY REVIEW.

1:02:10YOU SAID THAT'S PRIMARILY FOR

1:02:13SMALL BUSINESSES THAT ARE

1:02:15COMING AND APPLYING, I WANTED

1:02:17TO UNDERSTAND, WHAT'S THE REAL

1:02:18COST OF THAT, HOW MUCH REVENUE

1:02:21IS IT GOING TO GENERATE, I

1:02:23DON'T WANT TO PLACE A NEW TAX

1:02:25ON SMALL BUSINESS.

1:02:26>> YES, THAT'S FOR COMMERCIAL

1:02:28BUSINESSES, AND WHETHER THAT

1:02:29BUSINESS IS SMALL OR LARGE,

1:02:31THE FEE IS THE SAME.

1:02:32IT COULD BE A WALMART OR

1:02:35MOM-AND-POP PIZZA SHOP.

1:02:36WHAT THE PROCESS IS, WHEN THEY

1:02:38MAKE THEIR BUSINESS TAX

1:02:39APPLICATION, WE SEND THAT

1:02:40INFORMATION TO PLANNING AND

1:02:41ZONING, SO PLANNING AND ZONING

1:02:43CAN DO A USE AND OCCUPANCY

1:02:45REVIEW TO ENSURE THAT BUSINESS

1:02:47IS ZONED FOR THAT LOCATION,

1:02:50AND IS AVAILABLE TO CONDUCT

1:02:53BUSINESS IN A MANNER IN WHICH

1:02:53THEY SAY THEY ARE, WE DON'T

1:02:55WANT TO -- YOU CAN'T HAVE A

1:02:57BRICK AND MORTAR STORE IN A

1:02:59RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD,

1:03:02RIGHT?

1:03:02FOR AN EXAMPLE.

1:03:03THEY DO THAT REVIEW, AND

1:03:05THE -- IF MEMORY SERVES ME

1:03:08CORRECTLY, IT'S A COUPLE

1:03:09HUNDRED FOR THAT REVIEW, AND

1:03:11THAT'S ON AVERAGE, RIGHT?

1:03:12IT COULD BE A WALMART, OR IT

1:03:13COULD BE A MOM-AND-POP PIZZA

1:03:16SHOP, WE SUPPRESS THE TOTAL

1:03:18COST OF THAT, BECAUSE YOU CAN

1:03:20MAKE THE ARGUMENT THAT THAT

1:03:23PERSON OPEN AND OPERATING THE

1:03:29BUSINESS IN PORT ST. LUCIE

1:03:30LIVES HERE AS WELL.

1:03:32>> IS THERE A WAY TO

1:03:34DISTINGUISH BETWEEN A WALMART

1:03:35AND MOM-AND-POP?

1:03:36I KNOW WE DO WITH BUSINESS

1:03:38TAX.

1:03:38>> WE DO IT BY CATEGORY IN

1:03:40BUSINESS TAX, AS FAR AS THE

1:03:42RATE THEY PAY, WE DON'T

1:03:45DISTINGUISH BETWEEN LIKE A

1:03:46LARGE AND SMALL -- I'M NOT

1:03:47DEEPLY FAMILIAR, BUT IT MAY

1:03:50NOT BE AS EASY AS LARGE AND

1:03:52SMALL, BECAUSE SOME BUSINESSES

1:04:00MAY HAVE MORE WORK, MORE SEATS

1:04:02IN A RESTAURANT, OR A BIG

1:04:05WAREHOUSE.

1:04:05I CAN'T SPEAK FOR MARY, UNLESS

1:04:07YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO

1:04:08THAT.

1:04:11>> NO, YOU EXPLAINED IT VERY

1:04:14WELL, AND, WHEN THEY DO COME

1:04:18THROUGH, THE TEAM WILL PULL UP

1:04:20THE MPD, THE ZONING, THE SITE

1:04:23PLAN, ALL THE APPROVAL

1:04:24DOCUMENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT

1:04:27WHAT WE'RE GRANTING AN

1:04:30OCCUPANCY FOR IS WHAT INDEED

1:04:31THE COUNCIL APPROVED TO GO

1:04:33THERE, IT HAS THE PARKING,

1:04:35IT'S THE PROPER USE.

1:04:37SO IT'S CATEGORIZED BY USE.

1:04:41>> BUT IT'S CERTAINLY

1:04:42SOMETHING WE COULD LOOK INTO

1:04:43IN THE FUTURE.

1:04:44ESPECIALLY WHEN WE START

1:04:45GETTING MORE OF THE METADATA

1:04:48AND ANALYZING IT, THAT'S THE

1:04:49TRICK, TAKING THE TIME TO

1:04:51MICRO ANALYZE, WE'RE TALKING

1:04:53ABOUT 60 FEES HERE, AND WE

1:04:55HAVE ANOTHER 70 AND PUBLIC

1:04:58WORKS, AND ANOTHER 20 WITH

1:05:00ENGINEERING, IT'S CERTAINLY, I

1:05:01COULD TAKE A LOOK AT TO SEE IF

1:05:03WE CAN PULL THOSE BUSINESSES

1:05:05APART, TO SEE IF WE CAN

1:05:07CATEGORIZE THEM IN A SMALL,

1:05:09MEDIUM LARGE OR BY SQUARE

1:05:11FOOTAGE OR SOME OTHER MANNER

1:05:13TO TIER THE FEE.

1:05:15WE HAVE TIERED FEES FOR OTHER

1:05:16THINGS BASED ON EITHER ACREAGE

1:05:20OR SQUARE FOOTAGE OR OTHER

1:05:21THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

1:05:21>> OKAY.

1:05:27>> MAYOR: ANY OTHER COMMENTS

1:05:28OR QUESTIONS?

1:05:32IS THERE A MOTION?

1:05:34>> MOTION TO APPROVE

1:05:36RESOLUTION 26-R77.

1:05:38>> SECOND.

1:05:39>> MAYOR: ANY FINAL

1:05:40DISCUSSION?

1:05:40ALL IN FAVOR?

1:05:42AYE.

1:05:42>> MAYOR: ANY OPPOSED?

1:05:43MOTION CARRIES.

1:05:45MOVING ON TO 11 B.

1:05:48RESOLUTION 26-R78.

1:05:49>> A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF

1:05:52PORT ST. LUCIE, FLORIDA,

1:05:53ADOPTING A PUBLIC WORKS FEE

1:05:54SCHEDULE PURSUANT TO SECTION

1:06:00557.01 OF THE CODE OF

1:06:02ORDINANCES, PROVIDING FOR

1:06:04ANNUAL INFLATION ADJUSTMENT,

1:06:06PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT,

1:06:08SEVERABILITY AND EFFECTIVE

1:06:09DATE.

1:06:10>> MOVING THIS PRESENTATION

1:06:11BACK, IT'S GOING TO BE

1:06:13SIMILAR, EXCEPT WITH PUBLIC

1:06:14WORKS FEES.

1:06:15WHY ARE WE REVIEWING FEES?

1:06:17IT'S BEEN A MINUTE SINCE WE'VE

1:06:20DONE A FULL UPDATE FOR PUBLIC

1:06:23WORKS, THEY DID DO A COST

1:06:25RECOVERY ANALYSIS BACK IN

1:06:282020, AND AT THAT TIME, WE

1:06:29FOUND NO ADJUSTMENT WAS

1:06:31NEEDED.

1:06:32IT WAS RIGHT AROUND 99% COST

1:06:35RECOVERY, THEY WERE DOING

1:06:35WELL, IF YOU LOOK AT THE BACK

1:06:37END OF THAT STUDY, THEY WERE

1:06:41USING DATA FROM 2017, 2018.

1:06:45THAT WAS PRECOVID.

1:06:46WHEN WE STARTED TO ANALYZE

1:06:47POST COVID IN 2025 DATA, YOU

1:06:50CAN SEE A HUGE SWING AND COST

1:06:52TO PROVIDE THESE SERVICES.

1:06:53AND SO AGAIN, KIND OF SAYING,

1:06:56THESE ARE OUR SPECIFICALLY

1:06:58DEVELOPER AND SERVICE

1:07:00APPLICANT RELATED SERVICES,

1:07:02IT'S NOT TO PERTAIN TO RATES,

1:07:04SUCH AS STORM WATER, UTILITY

1:07:06RATES OR TAXES.

1:07:08JUST SOME COMMON EXAMPLES THE

1:07:10LIKE I DID FOR PLANNING AND

1:07:12ZONING.

1:07:13CULVERT DESIGN AND INSPECTION,

1:07:15DRIVE WAY ADDICTIONS,

1:07:17ACCESSORY USE REVIEW,

1:07:18DEVELOPMENT, SITE PLAN REVIEW,

1:07:19AND ENGINEERING AND PERMITTING

1:07:22INSPECTIONS, ALL REALLY

1:07:25CONSISTENT WITH NEW

1:07:26DEVELOPMENT.

1:07:26JUST GIVE YOU HISTORICAL

1:07:28CONTEXT.

1:07:29PLANNING AND ZONING, THE LAST

1:07:31FEE UPDATE WAS IN 2007, PUBLIC

1:07:34WORKS WAS IN 2012.

1:07:36SO AGAIN, KIND OF RIGHT ON THE

1:07:39DOWNTURN OF THE ECONOMIC

1:07:40DECLINE, IS WHEN FEES WERE

1:07:41LAST UPDATED FOR THESE

1:07:44AT PUBLIC WORKS IN 2020 AND NO

1:07:47ADJUSTMENT WAS NEEDED, BUT AS

1:07:49YOU'LL SEE UPCOMING, THAT HAS

1:07:51CHANGED SINCE 2020.

1:07:53THE RESULTS OF THE ANALYSIS,

1:07:56THE ANNUAL COST TO PROVIDE

1:07:58SERVICES FOR PUBLIC WORKS,

1:08:00$4.7 MILLION IN 2025, THEY

1:08:03GENERATED $1.9 MILLION IN

1:08:06REVENUE, SO THEIR COST

1:08:08RECOVERY WAS 41%.

1:08:09AND SO THAT WAS A $2.8 MILLION

1:08:14SHORTFALL, THAT SHORTFALL GOES

1:08:16AGAINST THE ROAD AND BRIDGE

1:08:17AND STORM WATER FUND.

1:08:19THAT WAS 71 FEES AND SERVICES

1:08:21THAT WE ANALYZED.

1:08:26OUT OF THE 71 SERVICES, 56 ARE

1:08:28PROPOSED TO BE ADJUSTED, WITH

1:08:319 FEES REMAINING UNCHANGED,

1:08:34AND SIX NEW PROPOSED FEES,

1:08:37AGAIN, THEIR CURRENT VERSUS

1:08:38THE PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE

1:08:40SCHEDULE HAS BEEN ADDED.

1:08:43THE 6 NEW FEES ARE ALL

1:08:45RIGHT-OF-WAY FEES WITH ONE

1:08:48ROAD LANE CLOSURE REQUEST, FOR

1:08:50THOSE THAT MAYING LISTENING AT

1:08:51HOME, WHAT A RIGHT-OF-WAY

1:08:53PERMIT IS, IS ESSENTIALLY,

1:08:55LET'S SAY A FIBER CONTRACTOR

1:08:57WANTED TO LAY FIBER BECAUSE

1:08:59THEY'RE SELLING FIBER TO

1:09:02HOMEOWNERS, THEY HAVE TO

1:09:04POTENTIALLY DIG IN THE CITY'S

1:09:05RIGHT-OF-WAY, SO THEY SUBMIT

1:09:06AN APPLICATION SO THE PUBLIC

1:09:08WORKS DEPARTMENT ALONG WITH

1:09:10THE UTILITY ENGINEERING

1:09:16DEPARTMENT NEED TO ENSURE

1:09:17THEY'RE NOT DIGGING THROUGH

1:09:18THE CITY'S INFRASTRUCTURE,

1:09:19LIKE OUR STORM WATER PIPES AND

1:09:21UTILITY PIPES.

1:09:22WE HAVE BEEN FIELDING THOSE

1:09:25APPLICATIONS, INSPECTING THOSE

1:09:26TRENCHES AND WORKING WITH

1:09:28THESE CONTRACTORS FOR FREE,

1:09:30ESSENTIALLY.

1:09:31AND SO LAST YEAR, THE CITY

1:09:33PROCESSED OVER 700

1:09:36RIGHT-OF-WAY APPLICATIONS AND

1:09:37500 ROAD LANE CLOSURE

1:09:39REQUESTS.

1:09:40THAT COST THE ROAD AND BRIDGE

1:09:41AND STORM WATER FUND

1:09:43APPROXIMATELY A MILLION

1:09:44DOLLARS, JUST FOR THESE FEES

1:09:45RIGHT HERE.

1:09:49AGAIN, PRIMARILY IMPACTED ARE

1:09:51DEVELOPERS, CONTRACTORS AND

1:09:52SERVICE APPLICANTS.

1:09:53THESE FEES ARE WHEN A SPECIFIC

1:09:56PUBLIC WORKS REQUEST IS

1:09:58REQUESTED, IT IS NO CHANGES TO

1:10:00PROPERTY TAXES, UTILITY RATES

1:10:02OR STORM WATER RATES, THOSE

1:10:05RESIDENTS WILL SEE NO DIRECT

1:10:09IMPACT ON THESE FEES.

1:10:11THE FEE REVENUE WOULD INCREASE

1:10:12TO $4.4 MILLION THAT IS A 94%

1:10:15COST RECOVERY THAT WOULD DROP

1:10:17THAT $2.5 MILLION SHORTFALL

1:10:20DOWN TO 300,000, INCREASING

1:10:22OUR COST RECOVERY FROM 41% TO

1:10:2594%, THE REASON WHY IT'S

1:10:27SLIGHTLY UNDER 100% IS THERE

1:10:30ARE FRANCHISE FEE AGREEMENTS,

1:10:33WE HAVE WITH CERTAIN PROVIDERS

1:10:35OF GAS AND FIBER.

1:10:37WE CANNOT LEGALLY ASSESS OF

1:10:40RIGHT-OF-WAY FEE TO THOSE

1:10:42COMPANIES, HOWEVER, WE ARE

1:10:44COLLECTING FRANCHISE REVENUE

1:10:44FROM THOSE COMPANIES, BUT IT

1:10:46KIND OF THROWS THE NUMBER OFF

1:10:48A LITTLE BIT.

1:10:49>> AND THAT'S BY STATE

1:10:50STATUTE, CORRECT?

1:10:51>> YES, THERE'S NO WIGGLE ROOM

1:10:53THERE, WE TRIED WITH LEGAL,

1:10:55NOTHING YOU CAN DO.

1:10:56>> WE ARE COLLECTING REVENUE

1:10:57THROUGH THOSE GUYS, THROUGH

1:10:59ANOTHER MEANS.

1:11:01>> WHY IS FULL COST RECOVERY

1:11:03IMPORTANT?

1:11:03IT'S IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE

1:11:05THE PERSON REQUESTING THE

1:11:06SERVICE IS PRIMARILY THE

1:11:07PERSON THAT'S PAYING FOR THAT

1:11:08SERVICE, AND THAT THE

1:11:10SHORTFALL IS NOT PICKED UP BY

1:11:12THE ROAD AND BRIDGE FUND OR

1:11:13THE STORM WATER FUND, WHICH

1:11:15EVERYBODY PAYS INTO.

1:11:16AGAIN, IT CREATES A

1:11:19SUSTAINABLE FUNDING MODEL, AS

1:11:20THE REQUEST FOR SERVICES GO

1:11:21UP, IT SCALES WITH GROWTH.

1:11:25JUST LIKE WITH PLANNING AND

1:11:26ZONING, WE PLANNED TO ADD

1:11:28ANNUAL CPI INCREASES TO THESE

1:11:30FEES, EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1 EACH

1:11:32YEAR, THAT WILL ALLOW US TO

1:11:34INCREMENT ALI KEEP PACE WITH

1:11:37INFLA

1:11:38INFLATION, AND ENSURE WE DON'T

1:11:39NEED TO DO THIGHS LARGE ONE

1:11:41TIME ADJUSTMENTS, WE ALSO HAD

1:11:43TWO STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

1:11:46MEETINGS IN JULY, BOTH IN

1:11:48PERSON AND VIRTUALLY, THE FEES

1:11:49WERE POSTED ON THE CITY'S

1:11:51WEBSITE AH, LONG WITH A

1:11:52RECORDED STAKEHOLDER MEETING,

1:11:53AND WE RECEIVED NO NEGATIVE

1:11:56FEEDBACKS OR CONCERNS

1:11:57REGARDING THE PROPOSED

1:11:58INCREASES.

1:11:59WITH THAT, STAFF RECOMMENDS

1:12:00ADOPTING THE PROPOSED PUBLIC

1:12:03WORKS FEE SCHEDULE, AND

1:12:05EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 2026

1:12:10>> MAYOR: THANK YOU.

1:12:11QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

1:12:12>> I JUST HAVE ONE MEANT.

1:12:14THIS ONE IS THE SAME AS LAST,

1:12:16BUT I ALSO THINK THIS HURTS A

1:12:18LITTLE MORE, EVERY FEE WE CAN

1:12:20RECOVER, ALLOWS US TO BUILD

1:12:22MORE ROADWAYS AND PROJECTS, BE

1:12:24THE LAST TIME I CHECKED, WHICH

1:12:25I KNOW IS PROBABLY MORE

1:12:26EXPENSIVE NOW, BUT THE LAST

1:12:28TIME WE WERE TOLD, A MILE OF

1:12:31SIDEWALK WAS HALF MILLION BY

1:12:33JUST THIS 2.8 MILLION

1:12:35SHORTFALL, THAT'S FIVE MILES

1:12:37OF ADDITIONAL SIDEWALK, YOU

1:12:38COULD POTENTIALLY DO A YEAR,

1:12:40OR UTILIZE THAT 2.8 MILLION TO

1:12:42GO AFTER A GRANT FOR $5.6

1:12:45MILLION PROJECT IMPROVEMENT,

1:12:47SO AGAIN JUST WANT TO

1:12:49REITERATE WHY IT'S SO

1:12:50IMPORTANT THAT WE'RE MAKING

1:12:51SURE WE'RE CHARGING THE RIGHT

1:12:54FEES, BECAUSE ANY OF THAT

1:12:56MONEY THAT'S SHORTFALL ENDS UP

1:20:47ARTWORKS PROPOSED BY J.MUZACZ

1:20:57AT TORINO REGIONAL PARK.

1:20:58>> WHILE OUR CONSULTANT ANNA

1:21:05LUXFORD CUES UP THE

1:21:07PRESENTATION, I'LL PROVIDE A

1:21:08BRIEF BACKGROUND ON THE

1:21:09PROCESS.

1:21:11TORINO PARK IS A DESTINATION

1:21:13PARK, 195 ACRES IN SIZE BEING

1:21:15PLANNED, IN MULTIPLE PHASES

1:21:18OFF NORTH TORINO PARKWAY, WITH

1:21:21THAT, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT

1:21:23WAS APPROVED BY THE PARKS

1:21:26DEPARTMENT TO COLLABORATE WITH

1:21:28ENHANCING THREE OF THE

1:21:30RESTROOM FACILITIES THAT WERE

1:21:31IDENTIFIED BY THE PARKS

1:21:33DEPARTMENT.

1:21:33ONE IS BY THE SKATEPARK, WHICH

1:21:36HAS A DRAGON THEME, IT'S VERY

1:21:40HEAVILY WOODLAND THEMED PARK,

1:21:42AND WHIMSICAL FAIRY TAIL.

1:21:46THE OTHER IS THE TRAIL HEAD,

1:21:48THAT'S MORE NATURE ELEMENT

1:21:50BASED, AND THE THIRD WOULD BE

1:21:54THE SPLASH PAD AND PLAYGROUND

1:21:55AREA, WHICH IS ALSO MORE

1:21:57WHIMSY, AND SO WE DECIDED ON

1:22:00MOS

1:22:01MOSAICS, WHICH HAVE A LONGER

1:22:02SPAN FOR THEIR LIFE THAN A

1:22:04TYPICAL MURAL, WHICH IS TEN

1:22:06YEARS, SO WE'RE DOUBLING THE

1:22:08LIFE SPAN, IF NOT TRIPLING.

1:22:10AND SO WITH THAT I'LL GO AHEAD

1:22:11AND TURN IT OVER TO ANNA.

1:22:16AND SHE'LL EXPLAIN A LITTLE

1:22:19BIT ABOUT THE INVITATIONAL

1:22:21PROCESS WE WENT THROUGH, AND

1:22:23THE ARTIST SELECTION WE DID,

1:22:26AND PUBLIC ART BOARD

1:22:26RECOMMENDATIONS.

1:22:28>> THANK YOU, BETHANY.

1:22:31GOOD EVENING EVERYONE, ANNA

1:22:33LUXFORD FOR THE RECORD, MY

1:22:36GOAL IS TO PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW

1:22:37OF THE PROCESS, TO INFORM

1:22:40COUNCIL'S UNDERSTANDING OF THE

1:22:41SELECTION CRITERIA, AND

1:22:42PRESENT THE RECOMMENDED RS AS

1:22:44IDENTIFIED BY THE SELECTION

1:22:46COMMITTEE AND AFFIRMED BY THE

1:22:47PUBLIC ART ADVISORY BOARD.

1:22:51BETHANY DESCRIBED THE PROJECT

1:22:51ALREADY, THERE'S A $200,000

1:22:54BUDGET FOR THIS PROJECT,

1:22:56$100,000 OF THAT WILL BE

1:22:58BECOMING FROM PARKS IMPACT

1:23:01FEES.

1:23:02$100,000 WILL BE COMING FROM

1:23:04THE PUBLIC ART FUND, WITH

1:23:07POSSIBLE INSTALLATION IN 2027.

1:23:09WE DID OPT FOR AN INVITATIONAL

1:23:13COMPETITION PER THE CITY'S

1:23:14PUBLIC ART POLICY, WHAT

1:23:15HAPPENED WITH THIS PROCESS

1:23:17WAS, INSTEAD OF HAVING A

1:23:19PUBLIC RFQ AND FINALIST RFP

1:23:24PROCESS, WE ONLY SHARED AN

1:23:27RFP, TWO ARTISTS THAT PROVIDED

1:23:32PROPOSALS.

1:23:33THE REASON WHY WE OPTED FOR AN

1:23:34INVITATIONAL COMPETITION, IS

1:23:36THE HIGHLY SPECIFIED

1:23:37PARAMETERS AROUND THE MATERIAL

1:23:38THAT WAS RECOMMENDED FOR THIS

1:23:40APPLICATION OF MOSAICS ON THE

1:23:42RESTROOM FACILITIES, AND WE

1:23:45WANTED TO ENSURE WE'RE ONLY

1:23:47SEEKING PROPOSALS TO THOSE

1:23:50COMPETENT ARTISTS.

1:23:51I'M PROVIDING A BRIEF OVERVIEW

1:23:53OF THE TIME LINE.

1:23:54THIS PROCESS STARTED IN JUNE,

1:23:56THERE WAS A SHIFT IN OUR TIME

1:23:58LINE.

1:23:59ADDITIONAL FUNDING BECOME

1:24:00AVAILABLE FOR THIS PROJECT,

1:24:02THE ORIGINAL BUDGET WAS

1:24:06$150,000.

1:24:06WE WERE ABLE TO INCREASE THAT

1:24:07TO $200,000, SO WE SOUGHT ANY

1:24:10UPDATED PROPOSALS FROM THE

1:24:12SELECTED ARTISTS BASED ON THE

1:24:15UPDATE IN THAT INFORMATION AND

1:24:17RESOURCES AVAILABLE.

1:24:18SO AS BETHANY SAID, THE

1:24:20RECOMMENDED ARTIST -- AND I'M

1:24:22PRESENTING THEM TO YOU IN

1:24:24RANKED ORDER, ONE BEING THE

1:24:27RECOMMENDATION, TWO AND THREE,

1:24:30THE RECOMMENDED ARTIST, I WILL

1:24:34SHARE HIS PRESENTATION NOW.

1:24:37THIS IS A RENDERING OF HIS

1:24:40DRAGON MOSAIC AT THE

1:24:41SKATEPARK.

1:24:41THIS WAS REQUESTED FOR THE

1:24:43DESIGN TEAM AT TORINO REGIONAL

1:24:45PARK.

1:24:46THIS IS A GRAPHIC RENDERING OF

1:24:47THE TRAIL HEAD DESIGN.

1:24:49THIS DESIGN WAS INTENDED TO

1:24:51SPEAK TO LOCAL FLORA AND

1:24:54FAUNA, BE HIGHLY IMAGINATIVE

1:24:56AND SPEAK TO THE NATURAL

1:24:57ELEMENTS THAT YOU WOULD

1:24:59ENCOUNTER AS YOU GO DOWN THE

1:25:00TRAIL.

1:25:01THE PLAYGROUND DESIGN PROGRAM

1:25:02WAS INTENDED TO SPEAK TO AS

1:25:05BETHANY SAID THE WHIMSY AND

1:25:07PLAYFULNESS THAT ANYONE WOULD

1:25:08FIND AT THE REGIONAL PARK, SO

1:25:11INCORPORATION OF UNICORN,

1:25:15BUNNYS, LARGER THAN LIFE

1:25:17INSECTS, AND REALLY A

1:25:18CELEBRATION OF FLORA AND

1:25:20FAUNA.

1:25:21THIS IS A MORE ELABORATE IMAGE

1:25:25OF THE SKATE ARE PARK, THERE

1:25:26WAS A REQUIREMENT THAT A

1:25:27DRAGON BE INCLUDED IN THIS

1:25:29MOSAIC DESIGN.

1:25:30AND YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE

1:25:32DRAGON BREATHING FIRE THERE,

1:25:34AND A CASTLE TO REALLY BRING

1:25:36HOME THAT THEME OF WHIMSY AND

1:25:39FAIRY TAIL THEMES.

1:25:42WHAT REALLY SET J. OVER IN

1:25:47TERMS OF THE COMMITTEE WANTING

1:25:48TO SELECT HIM FOR

1:25:49RECOMMENDATION, HE IS

1:25:55PROPOSING DOING A HANDS ON

1:25:57COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROJECT

1:25:59AS PART OF HIS MOSAICS.

1:26:01HE'S DONE THIS IN MANY PLACES.

1:26:04HE HOSTS PIXEL WORKSHOPS,

1:26:06THESE ARE THE TILES THAT WILL

1:26:07BE USED TO CREATE THE MOSAICS,

1:26:10THE PUBLIC CAN COME AND FOLLOW

1:26:11THE DESIGN THAT IS OUTLIBED BY

1:26:12THE ARTIST, AND IMPLEMENT

1:26:16TILES INTO THE CANVAS AS

1:26:18APPROPRIATE BASED ON THE

1:26:20DESIGN.

1:26:20SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S

1:26:22INCORPORATED INTO HIS FEE.

1:26:24COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WAS NOT A

1:26:27REQUIRED ELEMENT FOR THIS

1:26:28PROJECT.

1:26:28THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HE

1:26:32PRESENTED, AND THE SELECTION

1:26:33COMMITTEE FELT STRONGLY THIS

1:26:34WAS AN EXCITING AND STRONG

1:26:35OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMUNITY

1:26:36TO BE INVOLVED IN THE CITY'S

1:26:38PUBLIC ART COLLECTION.

1:26:39THE NEXT ARTIST WHO WAS

1:26:42RECOMMENDED AS THE SECOND

1:26:43HIGHEST ART SIFT ALEX

1:26:45KAUFMANN.

1:26:46I WILL BRIEFLY SHARE HIS

1:26:47DESIGN WITH YOU ALL.

1:26:48ONE OF THE REASONS WHY HE WAS

1:26:51SELECTED IN SECOND PLACE, WAS

1:26:52BECAUSE HE PROPOSED AN IGUANA

1:26:56INSTEAD OF A DRAGON FOR THE

1:26:58SKATEPARK MOSAIC, AND THE RFP

1:27:01CLEARLY SAID THAT A DRAGON WAS

1:27:03REQUIRED.

1:27:03HERE ARE MORE IMAGES OF HIS

1:27:05DESIGN.

1:27:06MORE RENDERINGS, THIS WOULD BE

1:27:09AT THE PLAYGROUND.

1:27:11AND THEN THE THIRD ARTIST IS

1:27:13NAOMI FISHER.

1:27:16THIS IS JUST LIKE J.'S WHERE

1:27:18IT'S PIXEL ATED WITH UNIFORM

1:27:19SQUARE TILES.

1:27:20THEY HAVE THE SAME KIND OF

1:27:22MATERIAL APPROACH.

1:27:23THIS IS HER PROPOSAL FOR THE

1:27:28PLAYGROUND.

1:27:29ANOTHER IMAGE.

1:27:30SHE ALSO PROPOSED A DRAGON FOR

1:27:33HER SKATEPARK MOSAIC.

1:27:36AND THEN THIS IS HER TRAIL

1:27:38HEAD PROPOSAL.

1:27:42THE TIME LINE FOR OUR NEXT

1:27:44STEPS LIKE I MENTIONED, I

1:27:45PRESENTED TO PUBLIC ART

1:27:47ADVISORY BOARD ALREADY ON

1:27:48SEPTEMBER 15th, I'M WITH YOU

1:27:49ALL THIS EVENING.

1:27:50WE HOPE TO CONFIRM THE ARTIST

1:27:52SELECTION AND PROCEED WITH

1:27:55CONTRACTING IN OCTOBER.

1:27:56IN ANTICIPATION OF SELECTED --

1:27:57THE SELECTED ARTIST INSTALLING

1:27:59THEIR WORK IN JUNE.

1:28:00I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY

1:28:00QUESTIONS.

1:28:05>> MAYOR: QUESTIONS?

1:28:19COMMENTS?

1:28:19>> I'M NOT GOING TO -- I'M

1:28:20GOING TO GO WITH WHATEVER THE

1:28:23COUNCIL WANTS THIS IS NOT A

1:28:24HILL TO DIE ON.

1:28:26I LOVE THE IDEA OF THE PIXEL

1:28:28WORKSHOP.

1:28:29I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHY THAT

1:28:30PUT THE ARTIST OVER THE EDGE

1:28:32WITH THE INCORPORATION OF THE

1:28:34PUBLIC.

1:28:35BUT I LIKE -- THIS MAY NOT BE

1:28:38HIS INTENT.

1:28:39I KIND OF DO LIKE ALEX, WHEN

1:28:41YOU LOOK AT DRAGONS, FOR

1:28:42EXAMPLE, THEY'RE NOT --

1:28:44THEY'RE MYTHICAL CREATURES,

1:28:47BUT DERIVED FROM SOMETHING,

1:28:48YOU COULD ARGUE THAT AN

1:28:54IGUANA -- SOMEONE SAW AN

1:29:03IGUANA AND IT BECAME A DRAGON.

1:29:05SAME THING WITH MANATEES, THEY

1:29:08USED TO THINK MERMAIDS WERE

1:29:10REAL, BUT IT'S MANATEES.

1:29:13NOT A HILL FOR ME TO DIE ON,

1:29:15I'M GOOD WITH WHAT YOU

1:29:16RECOMMENDED.

1:29:16I WANT TO SAY, THAT WAS OUT OF

1:29:18THE BOX, SO I KIND OF LIKED

1:29:20THAT.

1:29:20>> THANKS.

1:29:20>> THANK YOU.

1:29:22>> MADAM VICE MAYOR, I WANT TO

1:29:23SAY THAT DRAGONS DO EXIST, AND

1:29:29VERY SLADE MANY OF THEM.

1:29:29>> MAYOR: OKAY.

1:29:30>> I WANT YOUR MAGIC SWORD

1:29:32THEN.

1:29:33>> MAYOR: I DON'T KNOW WHAT

1:29:34BOOKS YOU'RE READING, BUT

1:29:36THAT'S OKAY.

1:29:37>> I WANT TO BRING SOME FUN TO

1:29:38THE PUBLIC ART DISCUSSION.

1:29:43>> SO ARE YOU GOING TO GET THE

1:29:46SWORD?

1:29:46THERE IS A THING IN THE

1:29:47FLORIDA HOUSE, I DON'T KNOW IF

1:29:48YOU KNOW.

1:29:49THERE JUST SAYING.

1:29:56>> OKAY.

1:29:57I'M REALLY NOT LIKE THRILLED.

1:30:00OH MY GOD.

1:30:01THIS IS GREAT AND WONDERFUL TO

1:30:03BE HONEST WITH YOU.

1:30:04I'M NOT FULLY SURE THAT.

1:30:07>> THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT.

1:30:10>> I'M NOT SURE HOW UNIOCORNS MX

1:30:14WITH CRANES AND BUNNIES.

1:30:20I GET THE WHIMSICAL HARP BUT IT

1:30:24DOESN'T FIT TO ME.

1:30:26THE TRAIL HEAD ONE IS MORE IN

1:30:29LINE WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO

1:30:31WITH THE NATURE PERSPECTIVE.

1:30:33THE DRAGON IS OKAY.

1:30:34IT'S NOT EXCITING TO ME.

1:30:37REALLY STANDS OUT TO ME OUT TO

1:30:41ME.

1:30:45AND I KNOW IT'S SUBJECTIVE TO

1:30:47EVERYONE AND IT'S DIFFERENT.

1:30:49WE HAVE SEEN SOME REALLY GREAT

1:30:52PIECES.

1:30:52NONE OF THIS REALLY SAYS WOW SO

1:30:58I DON'T KNOW.

1:30:59COUNCIL I'M NOT JUST KIND OF

1:31:02>> I FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME.

1:31:03THE TRAIL HEAD ONE.

1:31:05THAT'S COOL.

1:31:07I FLIPPED NEXT TO THE DRAGON.

1:31:10OKAY.

1:31:10I LIKE PIECES OF BOTH ARTISTS IF

1:31:14WE COULD COMBINE BOTH OF THEM WE

1:31:17WOULD HAVE A WINNER TO SAY THIS

1:31:20ARTWORK IS BETTER THAN THIS

1:31:22ARTWORK.

1:31:22I DO LIKE THE IGUANA.

1:31:26IT LOOKS COOL.

1:31:29>> I LIKE THE YOUIGUANA FIRE

1:31:37BREATHING.

1:31:45>> THERE'S NOT A HUGE SENSE OF

1:31:48URGENCY.

1:31:49WE CAN START THIS PROCESS OVER

1:31:52AND START AGAIN.

1:31:54IF YOU'RE NOT FEELING IT WE MAY

1:31:56WANT TO PIVOT.

1:31:58>> I THINK WE HAVE ONE TIME TO

1:31:59GET IT RIGHT.

1:32:01>> I WILL SAY THAT IF YOU DO

1:32:03SELECT ONE OF THESE ARTISTS IT

1:32:05HAS TO BE THE FULL THREE DESIGNS

1:32:09THE WAY THAT THE RFQ WAS BID FOR

1:32:14$200,000.

1:32:14WHAT I WOULD LIKE IF YOU DECIDE

1:32:17TO REJECT ALL ARTISTS AND GO

1:32:19BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD MAYBE

1:32:22SPECIFIC CRITERIA OF FOREST

1:32:27FAIRY

1:32:28FAIRYTALE WHIMSY.

1:32:29IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN

1:32:31INCLUDE IN A CALL.

1:32:33>> BETHANY IF I CAN ADD TO THAT.

1:32:36BETHANY AND I SPENT A LOT

1:32:38TALKING WITH THE PARK DESAIDESI.

1:32:42THEY HAVE DONE A BEAUTIFUL

1:32:43BEAUTIFUL JOB WITH THEIR VERY

1:32:45SPECIFIC VISION FOR THIS PARK.

1:32:48IT'S GOING TO BE SUCH A TREASURE

1:32:50IN THE REGION.

1:32:52I'M SURE YOU'RE ALL EXCITED

1:32:55ABOUT IT.

1:32:55WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE WERE

1:32:59HONORING THE WORK THEY WERE TOO

1:33:00LONG WITH THIS PARK.

1:33:07WE DID HAVE REPRESENTATION FROM

1:33:09THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT FIRM

1:33:11THAT IS WORKING ON THIS PROJECT

1:33:13AND THAT PARTICULAR PERSON WAS

1:33:15VERY, VERY EXCITED ABOUT JAY'S

1:33:18DESIGN.

1:33:19THEY FELT IT WAS NICE BALANCE OF

1:33:21SOMETHING UNIQUE THAT WASN'T

1:33:25TOTALLY CONGRUENT BUT IT HAD A

1:33:28BEAUTIFUL HARMONY WITH THE

1:33:30OVERALL PARK DESIGN

1:33:31>> I APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT VERY

1:33:34MUCH.

1:33:35AND I UNDERSTAND IT.

1:33:36MY CONCERN IS WE'RE SPENDING

1:33:40FUNDS, AND IT'S NOT -- IT'S NOT

1:33:45REALLY THAT GREAT IN MY OPINION.

1:33:53IF WE'RE GOING TO EXPEND FUNDS

1:33:57IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING WE'RE

1:33:58GOING TO BE HAPPY WITH IT.

1:34:02WE TRY TO DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST

1:34:05TIME.

1:34:05SO THAT'S WHAT I WOULD PREFER US

1:34:07TO DO.

1:34:08>> YOU REMEMBER WHEN THEY

1:34:10BROUGHT THE DIFFERENT PLAY

1:34:11ELEMENTS IN THE PARK.

1:34:14NONE OF US LIKED THOSE, AND WE

1:34:17RE-JUST A SECOND THAT.

1:34:18AND WHAT THEY BROUGHT BACK

1:34:20EVERYBODY WAS EXCITED ABOUT IT.

1:34:25WE MAY SEE I GUESS IT WASN'T

1:34:36WORTH THEIR TIME FOR THE

1:34:39MATERIALS AND COST AND THE TIME

1:34:40W THAT BEING SAID THIS WAS THE

1:34:44ELEVATED VERSION OF WHAT WAS BID

1:34:47FOR 150.

1:34:49>> WHO SAID WE HAVE TO DO

1:34:53MOSAICS.

1:34:54>> WE DON'T HAVE TO DO MOSAICS.

1:34:58WE COULD DO MURAL.

1:35:01>> I THINK THAT MIGHT BE A

1:35:02BETTER OPTION.

1:35:04>> MAYBE WE SHOULD REJECTING IT

1:35:09AND THEN ONE-ON-ONE.

1:35:11YOU WANTED THE WOW FACTOR IN THE

1:35:15PARK.

1:35:15IF WE'RE NOT FEELING IT LET'S

1:35:19REGROUP AND START OVER.

1:35:22>> WE'RE GOING TO SPEND FNDS WE

1:35:25HAVE TO BE HAPPY ABOUT WHAT

1:35:27WE'RE GOING TO GET AS THE END

1:35:29PRODUCT.

1:35:29>> WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE MURAL

1:35:33TOO IT'S NO DIFFERENT THAN OUR

1:35:41PARKS.

1:35:46IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT

1:35:48CONTINUES TO LIVE.

1:35:49IT MIGHT BE A NEW ART PROJECT

1:35:52AND LOCAL ARTISTS 10 TO 15 YEARS

1:35:56FROM NOW.

1:35:56I THINK IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT

1:35:58APPROACH.

1:36:03>>

1:36:03>> IS THERE A MOWING TO REJECT

1:36:05AND START FRESH.

1:36:07>> I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

1:36:09ANY FINAL DISCUSSION.

1:36:10ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

1:36:12MOTION CARRIES.

1:36:20CITY MANAGER'S REPORT.
