call the meeting to order. This is the December 11, 2025 Indian River Shores regular town council meeting uh before the invocation. Uh the very next day after our last council meeting, we had a tragic event
happen just north of town resulting in the death of a deputy sheriff uh Terry Sweeney Mashkow and um the death of a locksmith that was there on site with them, David Long. Uh let's keep them in our thoughts and prayers. And always
remember if you you see a public safety officer, they're there for your safety. That's our paramount concern. Doesn't much to thank a deputy sheriff or a police officer for putting their lives on the line for us every day. So with that, um, Councilman Carol, if you
could please give us the invocation. >> We're thankful for this town and his residents. We're grateful for all who work for the betterment of our community and all who serve on its behalf. Let those who work here and those who serve here be ever mindful of the town's
vision and mission statement. Grant this council the wisdom to govern amid the conflicting interest and issues of our times. The ability to work together in harmony even when there is honest disagreement, a sense of the welfare and true needs of our people,
personal peace in our lives, and joy in our task. Amen. >> Amen. Jog to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> All right. Thank you everyone. Uh if you can call the role, please. >> Mayor Foley >> here. >> Vice Mayor Alwater >> here. >> Council member Carroll >> here. >> Council member Alieri >> here. >> Let the record show all members are
present with the exception of council member Dayne. >> All right. from council. If there are no requests, a motion and a second, please. >> So move. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> All right. Unanimous.
I'm sorry, I forgot to turn my mic on. Uh I was saying comments from the public regarding agenda items. And if you have any comments regarding agenda items, that's uh your time to come up now. If there are none, we will move on the
consent agenda. We have a a resolution. So uh if there's no discussion on the consent agenda, we will need a motion and a second and then a roll call vote. >> So move second. >> Roll call vote, please. >> Iwater.
>> I. >> Council member Carroll. >> I. >> Council member Altieri. >> I. Let the record show. The motion passes unanimously. >> Thank you very much. That brings us to the mayor's report and I have a couple of items today.
Uh first of all, uh as mentioned before the invocation, uh great thanks needs to go to not just the deputy sheriff's but our own public safety department who responded very quickly after the tragic events last month.
As I mentioned, it resulted in the death of uh Deputy U Mashow and the locksmith that was accompanying them. And uh I just wanted to note that uh Deputy Chief Ryer, who's not here today,
usually is is um to be commended. He was first on scene with public safety officer William Gomez, Lieutenant Albert Iavino, Sergeant Skip Benham, public safety officer Joseph Trevol, fire medic Kenneth Banton, Corporal James Zeremba,
and public safety officer Cory Harding. We're also on scene to assist. Um again, uh we we owe them thanks. And if you see a public safety officer, it it makes sense to go out of your way to thank them, even if they pull you over.
Um, so they're ju they're just doing their job. Um, I'll also note that last week, and chief can deal with this, I was I was at a function where, uh, I learned something new about our public safety department and in particular how well they're trained. Uh, there was a
local resident who was missing from his home. uh they they follow protocols and um you know they successfully located the residents. So there's a whole gamut of things that uh that our department does for us. Again, this council's and this town's paramount interest is the
safety of our residents. All right. Item two on my report is I I circulated among council what I thought was a fairly interesting article concerning the population increase. Uh population increase. Uh the headline of
this is California loses one taxpayer per minute. Florida gains not gaining one every minute but one every 90 seconds. Uh this is this is going to um I believe put uh continued u challenges to the resources and uh infrastructure
in Florida and um it will have effect yes even on communities of our size. So, you know, the the nature of the place is um still wonderful, but it has changed and we have to be ever v viligent
vigilant to make sure that we're uh producing the best product for our taxpayers at the best possible price and again keeping people safe. So, there's the article is available to council. I had it distributed uh water utility legislation update. Uh
I will let the uh town manager and the town attorney supplement this. But uh we are with session approaching in January, the legislative session approaching uh we have circulated among council uh legislative proposal essentially taking
representative brackets bill last year known as HB11 making some modifications to it and um hopefully presenting that upon uh ears that are willing to listen in Tallahassee that will um enact relief for jurisdictions such
as ours who rely eye upon other municipalities for uh their water and sewer services and their reuse water services so that we're treated fairly uh in in price structure and um there will be a push to do that and of course
council's comments are welcomes on welcome on this. I understand the town manager will um schedule meetings individually with council members to do that. Uh I wanted to also um make a notation something you know
that has been mentioned at past meetings but uh you know smart meters are an availability now and I I put one in my home. I'm not going to get up here and do a an unpaid advertisement or endorsement for the particular device I
have on. But uh the the technologies come a long long way and it's uh it's reduced my water bill from uh anywhere from 50 to 70% per month. And uh if you if you find that uh hard
to believe, I give water bills to the uh finance director and the town manager and they track them over time. I've been doing this for years. So, it's a pre pre-installation of the meter. And basically what the technology does is it uh it doesn't just rely upon, you know,
cork sensors in your old rainbird. Uh what it does is it takes a collection of data wirelessly about, you know, micro meteorological conditions and things I can't pronounce. And uh it decides whether or not to water or not water, including if it's a terribly windy day,
you know, you put your water on, guess what? most of the water just gets blown off blown off your lawn anyway. So, it doesn't even worth it's not even worth doing it. They are available not just for single family homes, but if you have a homeowners association uh or condo association that handles that for you,
they have industrial u industrial meters as well. So something to think about uh if uh we want to do a little self-help on on keeping keeping prices down particularly in the portion of the town where the city of Euro Beach provides
not reuse water but they they have to use portable water to um uh for irrigation which seems a bit of a waste to me but um that's that's just something we've inherited for decades. All right, real estate tax relief January session starts. I've got nothing
to update on that. Um there there are multiple proposals going around the um um the various proposals we've talked about at previous meetings are in search of um bill sponsors in the House and
Senate and I think two and as of it's happening every day but as of maybe a third yesterday uh there is now a Senate companion for um one of the House bills. So those are moving forward. Hold your hats. It's going to be a very interesting session as uh as the tax
release starts particularly since you know the governor just announced the budget yesterday which I think is 1171 billion is that what it is up to 171.5 I could have a digit transpose but uh it's it's an enormously large budget um and
again that reflects the other item we talked about which is the demographic change of having more and more people come to the state it costs more. All right. Lastly, I just want to wish everybody a merry Christmas and a happy new year in case I forget to do it at the end. Uh I hope you all had a great
Thanksgiving. And I hope you weren't as panicked as I was when I realized how quickly Christmas was coming around the corner. Uh these late Thanksgivings tend to do that. So, um that's it for my report. If there are any questions from council, I'm happy to happy to answer them.
All right. If there's nothing, um council member items, Vice Mayor, >> Sure. Well, thank you. Uh, you actually teed me up on one item with your discussion of the water. You have uh each of the uh
council members have a map here. So, let me give you I'll try to go through this pretty fast. So I think everyone on this day knows that uh I've been providing uh some a different perspective on the bond anticipation note that city of Bureau
Beach is doing on to partially fund the new uh water uh plant. And during that discussion with uh the utilities director Rob Bolton, I brought up that there are areas of town that would like to get reuse water. did have to spend an
enormous amount of money for uh portable water for irrigation. It's funny you port we didn't talk about this in advance. So, so I said is there anything we could do here? So, what he provided here first of all was a a map and I'll go through it pretty quick. Uh at the
very north end of the town uh other than uh Bay Tree, you see a blue area which were proposed areas to be served by the Indian River County Utilities Reclaimed Water. And according to him, that never got going primarily because the pipeline
run down. He quoted a figure off the top of his head of a million dollars. So that didn't get done. The green section here, which is the majority of the town, is served by John's Island Utility uh reclaimed water and they're getting their new pipeline. So, it's the yellow
area down uh uh south of John's Island, basically from this area south that the yellow area, including my community is served by city of Vero Beach reclaim water. Well, I had a discussion with him. I said, I know there's areas down below your your property is one of them,
Mr. mayor uh about, you know, people would like to get reclaimed water and uh had a discussion. He says, "Well, with the new plant coming on board, uh we're going to have a better quality reclaimed water and, you know, a higher quantity
as I understood him." And I asked him, this discussion all happened yesterday. He was calling me from his car. He was coming in. I said, "Can you provide me a map of the areas?" And so he he sent us uh along and he said maybe we should start to do some planning
to figure out what what pipes have to be drilled. He thinks he might have a contractor they can can do it pretty well given the relation have do it from a costefficient uh perspective. So what I'd sort of like to do is get a consensus to direct the town manager
reach out to Mr. Balman and and see where we can go in this to uh hopefully save some money for our citizens that currently don't have reclaim water. So any objection? >> No. I I think it's terrific. Uh great
idea and uh thank you for thank you for pursuing that. Okay. >> It it also makes environmental sense as well. So >> absolutely. Yeah. And the the second thing that I have regards the other item brought up regarding property taxes. I was at Treasure Coast regional planning council
uh meeting and uh I was coming in via a zoom type instrument. So uh Toby Oberdorf who is the co-chair he's a house state house representative. He is the co-chair of the select committee on
property taxes is looking at these proposals to potentially cut property taxes. And currently right now there are four on the table. That doesn't mean that four or any of them will get on to the uh ballot for uh citizens to vote
on. But if you let's say hypothetically if all four get on there, I would argue some of them are in conflict with you. Some says get get rid of all taxes, some get taxes over 65, some say homestead. So, uh when I've been up in Orlando, I
was the Florida League of City uh conference. Uh there was a taxation and uh finance and taxation policy committee that uh that I joined and I asked the question, what happens if all four get on there and
all four are voted by citizens? Because I could see a situation where someone say, "Well, I like one better than three or two better than four, but I want to get my taxes lower. I'm just going to vote for all four of them, and they're in conflict each other." So, I asked Chairman Overdorf, I said, "What happens
in that case in conflict on?" And he basically had pretty much a two-word answer. He said, "Obviously, number one, then the number one of the four which has been going through the legislature." So, I just thought I would pass it along because nobody else has
been able to answer that question. I mentioned it to uh our our town attorney. I don't know if you want to make any any comment uh on that. I just told him a half hour ago, so and didn't ask him to do any research, but uh you want to give reaction?
>> Um yes, I I had a similar reaction when vice mayor mentioned it to me. Um, as I see them right now, the four that are listed with the proposals are the total elimination of non-school property taxes, the next being expanded homestead exemption for insured homes, then the
next being exemption for seniors, then the last one being transferable save our homes benefit. I my my only guess is that if all four passed because the first one vice mayor council says elimination of all non-school property
taxes it would inherently include an increase. You wouldn't need a homestead exemption anymore because there would be no property taxes. With that said, um these are constitutional amendments and require implementing legislation. So how that all unwinds is
yet to be determined. Okay. So that's it for me. >> All right. Thank you. uh their approach to this kind of reminds me of like being a kid and going out to dinner and ordering everything on the menu because you didn't know what you wanted and then then your parents had to tell you pick one. So uh so we'll
see. Um I'm I'm I'm optimistic um but not certain that uh this will potentially get uh reconciled and narrowed before they go out of the session. But the the bottom line is I think this session is going to be uh heavily dominated by, you know, by this
issue. So, uh we've got our work cut out for us as municipal elected officials trying to get the legislaturator's attention on another item sorely in need of uh being addressed. So, uh we're going to have to be very choiceful. I know um League of Cities with whom I
disagree on a number of issues substantively, but you know they are advocates for municipalities and um local local council local governments uh are are mindful of that that um if you go in with too much you come away with nothing. So we have to be very choiceful
in terms of uh the items that we're we're going to push. Um I I do think some of the good stuff though um in the budget is um you know the governor seems to be taking seriously uh compensation for teachers and some of the items that come up year after year in the
legislature. So if that gets dealt with in the budget process I think it becomes less of a drain on the legislative resources of the u of the but you know time will tell. We'll find out January 11th. Is that when they start? Yeah, January 11th. Okay. Thank you for your
report. Um, Councilman Alter, do you have anything? Do you have any items? >> Um, I do. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Okay. >> Sure. You You'll defer to committee reports. That's fine. Um, Councilman
Carol, all set. Okay, great. Item eight, discussion with possible or probable action. Uh, item 8A is the adoption of ordinance number 585, and it's a minor modification to approve site plans. This is the second reading.
Uh at our first reading, we did a fairly lengthy description of what it was about through the town attorney and the town manager. So, if you can kindly read the title and as I call it, the magic language to make sure that uh we fulfill the um technical requirements for
passing of the ordinance. Mr. Town attorney. >> Yes, sir. Mr. Mayor, this is ordinance number 585, an ordinance of the town of Indian Resource, Florida, Municipal Corporation, amending section 168.01, 01 site plan development process F minor modification of approved site plans 1 through six providing for a business
impact estimate providing for severability providing for codification providing for conflicts providing for scriveners errors and providing for an effective date. This is the second reading. >> Is there a motion to approve? >> So move second. >> Is there any discussion? If there's no discussion, a roll call vote, please.
>> Mayor Foley. >> I. >> Vice Mayor Atwater. >> Hi. >> Council member Carroll. >> Hi. >> Council member Alieri. >> Hi. Let the record show. The motion passes unanimously. >> Thank you. Item 8B, adoption of ordinance number 586, certified recovery
residence procedures. Uh again, this is a second reading. Uh this has a scary title to some people. Uh but as we know, it's basically an unfunded mandate from the legislature. likely not going to have much if any applicability to this
community, but uh we have to do it because that's what we're required to do. It is a second reading. Uh if you can kindly uh Mr. Town attorney, read the title and uh the technical requirements in order to adopt the ordinance. >> Yes, sir. Mr.
This is number ordinance 586 an ordinance of the town of Indian resource Florida municipal corporation amending the town code of ordinances at chapter 161 section 161.14 supplemental regulations to include reasonable accommodation requests in housing including such requests from certified recovery residences as required by
Florida statute section 397.487 487 providing that each and every other section and subsection of chapter 161 supplemental regulation zoning shall remain in full force in effect as previously adopted providing for a business impact estimate providing for severability providing for codification providing for conflicts providing for
script reserves and providing for an effective date. This is the second reading. Thank you. >> Is there a motion to approve? >> So move second. >> Any discussion on the motion? If not, a roll call vote, please. >> Mayor Holey. I >> Vice Mayor Awater. >> Hi. >> Council member Carroll. >> Hi. Council member Alieri.
>> I >> let the record show. The motion passes unanimously. >> Okay. Uh staff updates, building official report and statistics. Mr. Held has an excused absence. We have his report if there are no questions
um to be directed on the basis of the report which would be answered by the town manager. Um we'll rely on the papers as they say in uh in court. Any questions about that? All right. Thank you. Um, I'll just note we continue to be busy um in town.
A lot of renovation and stuff going on. Uh, code enforcement. Mr. Mike CR again has an excused absence as well. He's not feeling well. Um, we have a full report on code enforcement. Uh, there's an uptick obviously in activity when season kicks in. As with item 9A, if there are
no questions regarding the code enforcement report or issues, uh, to be directed to, uh, Mr. micrans through the town manager. Um, we can move on. Anything on code enforcement? No. Okay, good. Uh, public works department.
Same drill. Um, he's out in the field. Um, so we've got Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were out in the field taking care of some some signs about a a bolarama at the golf studio or something like that. So So if you'd like to report on on what's
going on, my apologies. Uh, I have nothing to add. Thank you. >> Okay. Thank you very much. That's the most succinct report I think we've ever seen. So, very good. Thank you and keep up the good work, Max. Um, public safety department report and statistics. Chief,
>> uh, good morning. Um, besides the information we provided, um, we continue to aggressively enforce, uh, the school bus issues that we've had with people trying to pass school buses, uh, when they have their crossing guards out and those types of things. So, that's been
very, uh, very effective with us trying to stop that. And we actually received a complaint about two months ago from a school bus driver that it was occurring in town. So, we've aggressively started working that during the load and unload times that we have for the for the school buses coming through. Um, also uh
you'll see you'll see a spike uh in calls for service. Um, not necessarily is it a call for service, but it's a it's an activity issue that has increased and uh we've started uh documenting all of our close patrols uh
a little a little tighter. Um, so when we have complaints in condominiums where we have uh we we swing by there a couple times a night or we're doing some some additional patrols within an area, we're actually starting to document that a little bit better so we have a better data database capture. Um, I'm also
happy to report that we've got both of our ambulances back uh yesterday and the day before yesterday and uh we returned the unit that we had borrowed from the county. Um, so we're back up in service with both of our units. Um, and we did have a problem with one of our engines,
uh, with our engine and, uh, we repaired that in-house and, uh, that's back up and running and back in service also. So, I'll be happy to answer any questions that you may have. >> Anything for the chief? >> Yeah, I may maybe you partially addressed it there. I I had mentioned
the town manager the uh, the jump in fire and rescue calls in October and November. Is that related to this different way we account for things or >> No, not for fire and EMS. That was all all law enforcement that were starting to capture those things. All right. The
the increase basically is is that the uh the uh our our our northern residents came back earlier this year. Um and uh that's actually increased the that and with all the renovations that are going on and all the activity that's going on
with the with stuff in town. Um and the the buffer areas on each side of town for for the fire side. Um setting off alarms right and left, but we still have to respond to those. Um, and although we reduce that that response posture, uh, because we know it's an alarm and we've
been there a couple times, those we still have to go send a unit out and do the report, make sure there's nothing going on. >> Okay. Understood. Thank you. >> Okay. All right. Thank you, sir. >> Thank you, Chief. Um I I neglected to mention during my report, but um uh for
those who want to uh make a contribution to uh the fallen deputies uh fund uh she had one child and two stepchildren, I think, and to the family of the locksmith. Uh, I think we we determined that the best way is the sheriff's
department actually has a a link at its website and um so I without objection from other folks on council uh if we could include that in our notification to residents because I have been asking pardon me I have been asked um what's
the best way for us to uh to help out uh or to make a contribution. So without objection, if we can include that um in our in our weekly email. All right. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you, Chief. Town attorney. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Uh
just one brief update. Um it related to overall Indian County. Um the county submitted an update to their comprehensive plan much like all of us are required to do every several years. This occurred back in the earlier part of this year. It has to be transmitted to the state and when it's transmitted
to the state, it's reviewed for any conflicts or suggestions. I understand that there have received it back or in the process of receiving it back very soon. The reason I bring it up is there were actually two provisions that the state department of commerce suggested should be removed. they were in conflict because they were more restrictive and
as we've seen with the BIES and other uh provisions from the state. Um there's a clear directive to reduce any type of impediments to business or uh development restrictions uh seemingly so. Um so it's my understanding that those two have been requested to be removed and I believe it's going to be
teed up for the county's review either at the very end of this month or the beginning of January for review and approval. again as part of Indian River County. It's binding outside of our jurisdiction, but it's most important for me to mention that the state continues to look at these provisions as
we've seen. Um, if anywhere is becoming more restrictive, they they appear to be taking a keen eye to that. So, I just simply mention it as we continue to talk about unfunded mandates and proposals. That's my report and I'm happy to answer any other questions. Yeah, just one question on that and not to give everybody a headache uh this early in
the morning by getting too legal, but what so Indian River County is a non-charter county, correct? So, >> do we have more flexibility as a non-charter county um to >> Yes. politely ignore uh the suggestions
from the bureaucrats in Tallahassee. >> As far as our dynamic between us being a county versus a charter versus non-charter and a charter county would automatically be binding, generally speaking, on us as municipalities unless we had an exception, but as a non-charter, we're more independent. I would agree with that.
>> Okay. So, let's let's take a keep a close tabs on that and let's keep council um all of us up here closely apprised of what it is so that um >> if we need to do something with our our comprehensive
plan that may be um in conflict with how the county deals with those suggestions, we're we're aware of it. We can um make those decision as a collegial group. >> Yeah. I mean, vice mayor's provision earlier of that map showing three different agencies that provide water
within our general jurisdiction kind of highlights the point. So, I'll be happy to do that. >> All right. Thank you very much. Anything else for the town attorney? >> Okay. Town manager report. >> I have nothing additional. Uh happy to answer any questions. >> I think we hit a new first again. So, uh
that's terrific. Uh yes, Mr. Alware. Uh just an update on uh getting the insurance proceeds on our burndown ambulance. >> Uh we have a uh internal meeting to finalize that and then uh complete whatever uh paperwork is required i.e. a power of attorney and so on and so
forth. Uh I anticipate that uh well our meeting is um here tomorrow as a matter of fact uh on that internally and uh hopefully we can just get that wrapped up uh by next week. >> Excellent. Okay. Thank you. >> All right. Terrific. Thank you very much. um
council committee reports and non-action items. We're going to move to that. Um I understand our um our representative to the uh bicycle pedestrian metropolitan uh planning organization is in attendance. Is that
correct? >> So, and it's Danet Diffenback. Is that right? Okay. Thank you. Uh if we didn't thank you for doing this before, thank you for doing it. It's uh it's it's it's it's a it's a good job and a big job. So, thank you. Just wanted to give you that recognition. Um all right, call for
committee reports. Let's start from right to left. Uh Councilman Alieri, thank you. Um the utilities commission met on December 2nd. Um um large and spoke largely about the um
city of Vera Beach water reclamation facility. That's that is a facility and a project that we have followed very very closely seems like for years. Uh it's a constant
subject that we um weigh in on. Um it is it's a project that's gone from the abstract to the real. It is now a project that is under construction. Um we had a very very good meeting at the um the utilities commission. Um, it
was led by two representatives from the water and sewer group, Rob Bolton, who's the water and sewer director, Will Ta, who is a water and sewer um specialist. And I I've um made available to each
council members and mayor um three reports. One is the city of Vero Beach Water Reclamation Facilities Utility Commission update. Um, it's a it's a handy document because it gives you an overview of what the history of the
project was, what the current state is, and has some uh decks that uh show some of the progress with um photographs of the construction that's going on. The other is a um utilities commission
financing update uh which brings us up to date on exactly what's going on with respect to the financing. And finally, the third is a a deck that has to do with the city of Vera Beach storm water pipeline irrigation project, which was a
a P3 public private and public public private partnership between city of Vero Beach and John's Island that now is um uh come to fruition and it is actually a um it's going to turn out to be a very
very uh successful P3 project. But coming back to the um water reclamation facility, uh most of the discussion had to do with financing, the current state of the financing. And essentially what's happening is that um uh the city uh city
council um met I think on Thursday to um approve the uh 2-year bond anticipation note. Um, and that's designed basically as bridge financing to get uh the city through um this period in all of two uh
2026. Um the the current cost of the of the project uh is now $164 million. Uh there's an 11 million contingency on top of that. They don't believe that they're
going to have to tap into that contingency, but the financing is now based upon a project that has a total cost of $164 million the first year. So, 2026 will be funded.
They have to spend $26 million um uh of matching funds to meet $26 million of grants. Uh so, this BIN is essentially designed to help them get through that first period. Uh and then in 2027
the bond will be um executed and that bond I think is going to be for approximately principal amount of the bond is going to be bonds will be $125 million. Um and I think
that's for I'm not quite sure what the the payoff period on that is but I think it's >> they they haven't determined. >> Yeah. Um so, uh let's see what else we've got here.
The other open issue is the rate study. Um the the city has retained uh Reptelis as their um it's a Reptelis is a registered municipal advisor. Um and they're doing a um rate analysis.
They've the the only the first time that they gave any passing consideration to a rate analysis was when the project was project cost was estimated to be $108 million. It's now what as I mentioned $164 million. Uh they expect to have a
rate ordinance finished by October of 2026. So we will not know where to those who haven't followed this. This is important to us because we are a customer from this of the city's
water system. Um how all of this is going to run through the system and and affect rates, we're really not going to have a clear picture of that until the end of um 2026. But in any event, um the presentation
that was done um last week was very very well done by both Rob and and Will. uh gave a shout out to Vice Mayor Atwater. Again, that's two meetings in a row. Uh very thankful for your assistance in terms of the the bond analysis, but um
the project if you haven't been out by the airport um you can now see the project in motion. Um and it's probably I think the duration of the construction is going to be a period of about two or three years. So that's the report
>> with financing. What's the What's the best guess total cost of the project? >> I would I would I I would think if I do a 25 or 30-year bond, you're looking at
doubling the amount that uh Councilman Alter mentioned, you know, minus any any grants. They're they're hopeful, I think, that they they think they might get some more grants. Is that what they've been Yes. >> telling you? So, so I
>> two 250 275 >> total >> is the cost of the financing. >> Well, well, you got 125 y >> million estimated bond, right? So, roughly double that over over a 30-year period
>> based on the models that I've that I've done. Maybe a little less than I haven't updated him a little bit. Interest rates have been about the same. So, >> I understand that's so subtracting the grant. I got it. Okay. Thank you. Um the uh committees I had were cancelled
due to um the legislative session being in January. The advocacy groups for the various local government committees were um doing that job as opposed to it. So the next uh next meeting is in January. So we don't have a report for any of my
committees. Uh vice mayor >> uh beachures was uh cancelled. We thought it there was suggestion doing a meeting on the beach until I pointed out there probably might be some sunshine law issues with that. So they kind of
shot that thing uh down. Uh we we had the empty >> and you don't mean sunshine on the beach. >> Yes. Exactly. Yes. Sunshine is going to jail not having sunshine. Uh then uh we also had uh MO yesterday approved the uh
updated transportation plan which is done every 5 years. I've brought in before the projects that were going to be looked at. The key one to us is the route 510 being revamped. But that's you're probably looking not to get that
done till probably close to 2030 to 2032 unfortunately. So other than that that's it for me. So >> great. Just one question, not to put you on the spot. Um, the, uh, reviews are very, very positive about the crosswalk coming in towards 7-Eleven. So, thank you for that.
>> The other the other >> Let's hope it gets They're talking late summer. >> Well, it was in it was in 32963, so it has to be true. So, uh, um, so the, uh, the other question I was getting, and this relates to, again, these are
seasonal concerns about traffic buildup. They since the tornado, it was noticed that the uh the light and pedestrian crosswalk up by the church. Yes. North of town, I'm sorry, south of town, right, >> has not been replaced. Is MO uh taking a position on whether it should be
