00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:13.680
Good evening. We will call this Monday, June 8th, 2026 commission meeting to order. Would you please stand for the invocation and the pledge of allegiance? Heavenly Father, we come before you

2
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:30.560
today representing Juan Leburg. Help us to lead with kindness, to speak with respect, to listen with an open mind, and to stand together even when the world feels uncertain around us. Bless this commission, this community, and every resident we serve. Let our work

3
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:46.160
this evening be rooted in purpose, truth, and guided by integrity, and a reflection of our grace. All this we ask for your precious name. In your precious name, amen. >> I aliance to the flag of the United

4
00:05:46.160 --> 00:06:11.840
States of America and to the republic for it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. At this time, the public may bring matters to the city commission's attention. We will not discuss issues

5
00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:27.919
raised during this time. We will refer your comments to appropriate staff to schedule them for consideration at future city commission meeting. If you are speaking about an item that will be considered later in this meeting, your comments will be heard during public limit during public limit to ensure

6
00:06:27.919 --> 00:06:56.000
equal opportunity for all participants. Thank you. Are there any public comments? Please state your name and your address. Hello. Uh my name is Trisha Nicholson. Uh 1606 Lindale Avenue in Eustace. Um I

7
00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:11.840
am the vice president for Lake County Pride. Uh we are the ones that introduced uh originally the uh pride proclamation. Um, and we come today to say that Lake County Pride

8
00:07:11.840 --> 00:07:28.400
objects to the Leburg Council member movement uh removal of the Pride Proclamation from the agenda. This action undermines equal dignity, safety, and participation for LGBTQIA residents and visitors and betrays our

9
00:07:28.400 --> 00:07:44.720
duty to protect all residents from discrimination. Restore the proclamation. Please and uh or explain exactly what the objection is. Also, please provide a clear fact-based justification grounded in fairness and public safety.

10
00:07:44.720 --> 00:08:02.720
Cherry-picking proclamations based on a council member's religious or political be beliefs is completely inappropriate and erodess equal protection under the law. Proclamations must be judged on merit, not beliefs. Mayor and leadership uh demands your act

11
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:18.479
in the best interest of all residents. Reinstating the pride proclamation would restore trust, a sense of safety and accountability along with the inclusive standards of our community deserves. Revisit this decision and align with

12
00:08:18.479 --> 00:08:39.519
fairness, safety, and civic harmony for Lebrook. Thank you. >> Thank you, Miss Nicholson. Good evening. I'm Paul Paul Harsh, a resident of Lady Lake, Florida, but a property owner here in Leburg. Uh, I'd also like to speak to

13
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:55.680
the nonproclamation. Um, I'm a Christian unapologetically. As a Christian, I believe in the Bible without apology. Uh, the Bible tells me to love everyone, to love the sinner, but also to hate the sin. And as a

14
00:08:55.680 --> 00:09:11.440
mature Christian, I think we can do both. We're in very, very grave territory when no matter where we are, we endorse what the Bible says is wrong. I believe the Bible is the greatest governmental document the world has ever

15
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:26.320
seen. You follow it, it works. You don't, it doesn't. Uh, and it's not an issue of freedom from religion. It's the freedom to have beliefs on your own, not to be intimidated by those who would try to, but to do our best to do what is

16
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:43.120
right. I grew up in Leburg. My family came here about a hundred years ago. I remember the culture I grew up in. Uh I remember what it was like going out at night as a child and not worrying. I remember what it was like uh when I had

17
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:59.360
grandparents that would teach me things like the golden rule uh and teach me how I should behave uh not just as a Christian but as an American and the culture I grew up in is always eroded the further we get from biblical principles. I'm not ashamed and not

18
00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:15.120
embarrassed about that. Mankind is not capable of not believing. So we're all religious. It just depends on the religion we choose. And the one that has always worked, the one that is blessed of Almighty God, the God of the Bible, is the one that says homosexuality is a

19
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:31.440
sin. We love the sinners. I have homosexual friends that I will and have defended their right to that choice. I remind them about the judgment of Almighty God on it. That's my response as a Christian. I believe that you were right in not

20
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:46.880
doing something. Uh, and I mean, how often do we critic do we criticize legislators for not doing something? Usually you do something we you object to. But I believe the decision you made was a just one, a right one, one that will support the

21
00:10:46.880 --> 00:11:05.160
culture that uh I I think we all love and and I thank you as a Christian, as one who believes that God got it right when he wrote the Bible. Uh, and uh, thank you. >> Thank you, sir. Are there any further comments?

22
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:23.519
Moving on to consent agenda, please. Routine items are placed on the consent agenda to expedite the meeting. If the commission staff wish to discuss any item, the procedure is as follow. One, pull the items from the consent agenda.

23
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:45.120
Two, vote on remaining items with one roll call vote. and three, discuss each pulled item and vote by roll call. Are there any items the commission would like to pull? >> Five 5B1. >> Any others?

24
00:11:45.120 --> 00:12:03.839
>> Can we have a motion for the >> I'll make a motion to approve the remaining consent agenda. >> Second. >> Roll call. Commissioner Kell. Yes. >> Commissioner Bur. >> Yes. >> Commissioner Peterson. >> Yes. >> Commissioner Reeseman. >> Yes. >> Mayor Barry. >> Yes.

25
00:12:03.839 --> 00:12:18.959
>> Would someone please introduce? >> I'll introduce 5B1. Be right by title only. >> Purchase request by the public works department for the purchase of Christmas Street Decorations from Holiday Outdoor Decor, a contracted vendor in the amount

26
00:12:18.959 --> 00:12:39.600
of $138,57.70. Move >> for approval. >> Second. Excuse me. Uh, yes, I pulled this. And and keep in mind now, this this has nothing to do with Christmas decorations. Uh, this has to do with just spending. Um, as

27
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:55.839
everyone, I'm sure, is aware that there is a an issue coming up in November on um increasing the homestead exemption. Um, and if that passes, it's going to be my my understanding it's a it's a it's a phasing in over maybe a 5year time frame

28
00:12:55.839 --> 00:13:12.959
of increments going up higher and higher and higher. Um, which is going to cut into the the extra spending cities have um I'm sure everybody's aware that I have brought up numerous occasions over the years on on spendings um that I

29
00:13:12.959 --> 00:13:28.000
don't necessarily know that needed to be done today or tomorrow. Uh, so I'm going to ask Al, um, if if if what's being proposed in November passes, what what is that going to do tax-wise of what we're accustomed to coming in, what

30
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:45.279
we're going to lose? >> Uh, ballparkish. >> So, I'm just going to give the number. >> Yeah, sure. >> About about 3 million year 1, four million year two. >> Okay. Okay. >> And so, let me let me be specific. So we think it's going to be about three and

31
00:13:45.279 --> 00:14:01.920
this would be if it goes if it passes >> if it goes into effect first phase October 1 27 which would be fiscal year 28 it's it's about 3 million that's going to be spread over the general fund

32
00:14:01.920 --> 00:14:17.120
and the three RCAs of that probably like 1.82 82 million is the direct impact to the general fund and and phase one it goes into phases the way I understand it the first step is the increase the homestead exemption

33
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:31.519
up to 150,000 that's my understanding then year two which would be fiscal year 29 is 250,000 and then I think it goes up by CPI or or at the wishes I think there's some language in there that then the

34
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:48.800
legislature could impact or adjust the homestead exemption as they vote accordingly. There's also a little trip in there too that that's probably not as well known. You have to have homesteaded for five years before you're eligible

35
00:14:48.800 --> 00:15:07.279
for the first 150. So, while the bulk of going to hit us in the in the first two years, you know, we'll have little trips each and year every year till everybody's homesteaded for five years. So fiscal year 28 say about 2 million for

36
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:23.920
the general fund. Fiscal year 29 three three and a half million. >> Okay. Okay. So I mean that's kind of what I was thinking. So, with that said, um is it absolutely necessary we spend $140,000 this year with this upcoming

37
00:15:23.920 --> 00:15:40.560
potential or could maybe the decorations last another year or two until we see financially where we're going to be if this passes in November. >> I I'll share the conversation I had with you today with the rest of the

38
00:15:40.560 --> 00:15:55.360
commission. You know, it really it's it's up to you all. Um, I have not visually seen the decorations. You know, just word from electric department and public works electric's involved because they hang them. >> Sure. >> Um, you know, that they're they're looking rough. So, we re, you know, the

39
00:15:55.360 --> 00:16:11.839
replacement value of that's 138 grand. Frankly, when you do it, if you do, it's totally up to you all. Um, if I had my brothers, I would just prefer to change it this year when we know what money we have um in the future. you know, it's going to be a liability that's out there

40
00:16:11.839 --> 00:16:26.880
unless that's one of the things that we cut in the future. But I, you know, I was going to speak to you all, this I didn't add in our conversation. This is new. You know, I was going to speak to you all about these the ramifications of the referendum at the workshop level, but I really don't think that's

41
00:16:26.880 --> 00:16:43.360
appropriate at this stage. I think really I think where we need to move forward with the referendum is for for this fiscal year. I think we need to move forward as SOP. You know, the referendum may the referendum is not until November. The the voters may or

42
00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:59.920
may not pass it. We know obviously we're the state legislature and the governor stand on that issue. And so I I almost, you know, think we need to we need to cross that bridge when we get there. Today I know we need new Christmas decorations and they cost about 140 grand to replace. Um, if you have to

43
00:16:59.920 --> 00:17:16.319
replace Christmas decorations, A, they're not getting any cheaper and B, it's going to be easier to do now than later. >> But, but you know, whatever, wherever you guys go. >> I was in the meeting. I think Miss the last time we bought Christmas decorations was Commissioner Dennison's

44
00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:31.600
first year term. >> Is that the last time that was? >> So, that was about four years ago. >> Wow. >> Maybe more than that. >> That was like 10 or 12 years ago. >> Time flies when you're having fun. >> Yeah. So, it really that that that would be my input. I mean, we'll make it work no matter what y'all do.

45
00:17:31.600 --> 00:17:47.600
>> Well, I would say I mean, again, it has nothing to do with with Christmas decorations. I'm I'm all about decorating the city um during the holidays, but just concerned at some point we're going to have to get somewhat serious on on tightening the belt on on some of these spendings that doesn't necessarily have to be done

46
00:17:47.600 --> 00:18:05.039
right this second. Um but I I just throw that out there for food for thought. But, um that's all I wanted to bring up. um is like I said, I I do I do believe this will pass in November. If it doesn't, I I guess we you know, but

47
00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:21.280
as we get into more and more of the budget process, there's going to be some some at times possibly some painful things you're going to have to do to to to balance and some of these things that does don't have to necessarily be spent right now. we might want to think about

48
00:18:21.280 --> 00:18:37.280
maybe looking at a little further down the road. >> What are the options if waiting >> if not now? How before November or waiting till November? >> Well, you know, my opinion would be if it does pass

49
00:18:37.280 --> 00:18:53.679
>> then that we won't be getting Christmas lights. You know, that's what people have to understand. Uh, and it's kind of one of the responsibilities I think we have as commissioners is to make sure the public's aware that yeah, it sounds great to not have these property taxes.

50
00:18:53.679 --> 00:19:08.880
You know, that's wonderful, but uh there are going to be services cut and there are going to be things uh that, you know, people are not going to be happy with because we're going to have to work with fewer dollars. And that's that's

51
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:32.320
the real issue is uh getting the public to be aware of, you know, voting yes on that means cities are going to have less money to to get by with >> any further comments. >> Roll call. >> Commissioner Bur,

52
00:19:32.320 --> 00:19:52.080
>> yes. >> Commissioner Peterson, >> yes. >> Commissioner Eastman, >> yes. Commissioner Conell. >> No, not for this year. >> Mayor Barry, >> no. >> Moving on to um public hearings and non-rine items. During public hearings and non-rine

53
00:19:52.080 --> 00:20:07.440
items, the commission's request those in attendance respect the process and maintain order. As such, in accordance with Robert's rules of order, please refrain from speaking out, cheering, or applauding during these proceedings. Your cooperation helps ensure a fair and

54
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:26.160
respectful hearing. Um, we have no second reading orders. It's just first reading. And Grant, do we have >> Yes. Thank you, Madam Mayor. Uh, if anybody is here this evening who wants to speak on item 6B3, the reserve at 44

00:21:23.360 --> 00:21:39.919
Florida. provided that said property so annex shall be liable for its proportionate share of the existing and future indebtedness of said city. Provided that such annex property shall be subject to all laws and ordinances of said city as if such territory had been a part of the city of Leburg at the time

60
00:21:57.039 --> 00:22:12.640
land use map designation of certain property containing 10.24 24 plus minus acres from Lake County Urban Low to City of Leburg Estate Residential for property generally located east of County Road 44 and north of Spring Court

61
00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:28.559
lying in section 1, Township 19 South, range 25 East, Lake County, Florida, and providing an effective date 6B3, an ordinance of the city of Leburg, Florida, changing the zoning of approximately 10.24 24 plus minus acres

62
00:22:28.559 --> 00:22:45.440
from Lake County R1 rural residential and R3 medium residential to city of Leburg PUD planned unit development to allow for single family residential uses for property generally located east of County Road 44 and north of Spring Court

63

64
00:23:05.520 --> 00:23:22.640
>> July 27th. >> First reading. Dan, will you go ahead and explain? >> Thank you, Mayor Dan Miller. Planning and zoning. Uh, this is this project is entitled reserve at 44. What you have before you is a project consisting of an

65
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:38.640
annexation small-cale comp plan and PUD reszoning on a site of 10.24 plus or minus undeveloped acres. As clerk as our city clerk said, it's generally located on the east side of County Road 44 and north of Spring Court. Under the overall

66
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:53.440
proposal, the future land use application for the project is requesting a change from Lake County urban low to city estate density. That's a four unit per acre per four unit. Those both categories are four units per acre. The zoning application for the

67
00:23:53.440 --> 00:24:08.480
project is requesting a change from Lake County R1 rural residential and R3 medium density residential to city of Leburg PUD, which is their plan unit development. And the request is for approval of zoning for a future

68
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:24.400
development consisting of 23 detached single family units. There were no substantiative comments from the city departments. The school board gave us a no impact letter for the 23 proposed units. Uh Lake County Public

69
00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:41.760
Works had no comments. We did receive uh some public comments though. Uh we did receive two disapproval responses for objection for a resident of the Silver Lake area. In summary, habitat fragmentation, displacement of

70
00:24:41.760 --> 00:24:57.840
native wildlife, loss of mature canopy and ecological buffering, increased storm water runoff, and impacts to the Silver Lake ecosystem, increased lighting, noise, dust, construction disruption, privacy, and compatibility compatibility concerns for immediately

71
00:24:57.840 --> 00:25:13.200
adjacent residential properties, cumulative environmental and infrastructure impacts associated with continued incremental development pressure surrounding Silver Lake. They also sent a second letter later on talking about concerns with existing groundwater and runoff conditions

72
00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:30.480
affecting private wells and the surrounding lake environment over time. Um, under the terms of the SPUD agreement, which is the zoning, the proposal consists of the 10.24 acres and 23 detached single family units. No

73
00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:46.559
other uses are permitted. All the lots and looking at the proposal's conditions and development standards, all of the lots are 6,500 square feet minimum 60 foot width. There are twocar garage and gutters required. Maximum building

74
00:25:46.559 --> 00:26:04.480
height of two floors, minimum 35% open space, dark skylighting, code compliant landscaping plan required. does include a split rail fence along County Road 44 and a sixfoot perimeter fence or wall around the remainder of the site unless

75
00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:19.840
there is adequate vegeta vegetation which can be uh maintained and considered by the city to be opaque meaning you can't see through it. Also, we're requiring 25 foot landscape buffers all the way around the property. And of course, the standard use of Baja

76
00:26:19.840 --> 00:26:34.720
or Bermuda instead of St. Augustine. It's also a requirement for 6,000 square feet of recreation space. Um, we have added a couple of new conditions to all the PUDs, including allowing landscape plans to be reviewed under the city's

77
00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:51.679
landscape code and also under the University of Florida EFAS Institute of Food um, >> agricultural sciences. Thank you, Candy. Um, and their list of Florida friendly and pollinator friendly plants. So, we

78
00:26:51.679 --> 00:27:07.120
added that. And then we also added a condition about requiring perpetual maintenance of the site by HOA and residents, which helps give code enforcement some extra teeth, some extra leverage, so to speak, if there ever is any problems. We're putting those in all

79
00:27:07.120 --> 00:27:23.520
of the PUDS, uh, beginning with this one. The site access is shown on the site plan. There's only one access point needed. Uh, it's just 23 lots. uh boulevard style construction. All utilities, all development on the site has to be on city water and

80
00:27:23.520 --> 00:27:38.400
wastewater. It's all city utilities. Uh there is of course the standard phasing clause which requires that development move forward within four years. Move forward to substantial commencement within four years or there is an automatic reversion to the RE1 zoning

81
00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:54.559
district which requires one acre per unit. Uh staff did recommend approval for the case. The planning commission recommended denial by a vote of 3 to2. They did express concerns about traffic, lot size, and density. Have some folks

82
00:27:54.559 --> 00:28:12.320
here representing this case. Mr. Jason Lee, who's the applicant, Mr. Chuck Hayyatt, the engineer, and Mr. Logan Lopsel Opsel of the Louns Law Firm in Orlando is here as well. And I have a note here. Second reading is uh July 13.

84
00:28:39.760 --> 00:28:56.880

00:33:13.679 --> 00:33:31.679
Are there any questions? If not, we'll move on to um to be introduced for non-routine items. 6C1, please. >> I'll introduce 6C1 to be Rebecca. Resolution of the city commission of the city of Leburg, Florida, relating to the

101
00:33:31.679 --> 00:33:47.600
provision of fire protection services, facilities, and programs in the city of Leburg, Florida, imposing fire protection assessments against assessed property located within the city for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2026. Approving the rate of assessment,

102
00:33:47.600 --> 00:34:04.880
approving the assessment role, and providing an effective date. >> Approval. >> Second. >> Any Discussion. >> Discussion from anyone, please. >> Um, how how much is this going to add plus or minus to your average household?

103
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:23.679
>> About five bucks. >> $5. >> About >> about plus or minus? Sure. >> Any further discussion? Not roll. >> Commissioner Peterson. >> Roll call.

104
00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:38.159
>> Yes. >> Commissioner Reeseman. >> Yes. Commissioner Conell, >> yes. >> Commissioner Bry, >> yes. >> Mayor Barry, >> yes. Now, we'll move on to our information reports there.

105
00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:55.679
None. Any attorney items, please. Attorney Grant. >> Yes, ma'am. Thank you. A couple items this evening. Um, one following up on the POS litigation stuff. We're signed up with Smith Campbell now and the ball's rolling with that. Um, so, u know, Mr. Pervvis is is working with the

106
00:34:55.679 --> 00:35:11.440
engineers uh with our Planus law firm there getting them all the information that they need to get our claim filed. So we look to be in good shape there. We should get a little more information in terms of what we might be looking at uh recovery wise as as all the numbers are

107
00:35:11.440 --> 00:35:28.800
run uh when Al gets with with the engineers with the plans firm. So we should hopefully have some info at least projection-wise here in the near future. Um, second issue, our motion to dismiss hearing for the shuffle board lawsuit is coming up next Tuesday. Um, so we'll see

108
00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:44.720
how that shakes out. You know, again, probably similar to the last hearing. Um, the most likely outcomes would either be dismissal with an opportunity to re amend um or either just requiring us to file an answer and move forward

109
00:35:44.720 --> 00:36:01.920
with the lawsuit. So, that's most likely what would happen. Um, but once we have that hearing, I'll let everybody know the outcome of that so we can uh move forward. Most likely, if if we do have to file an answer, we'd probably have 10 to 20 days to to file that following the

110
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:19.680
hearing. Um, last item, I will be out of town for the next meeting, so Jennifer Cotch from my office will be here to take care of you guys. Um, but other than that, um, everything's good. So, hope everybody has a a good time until I see you again.

111
00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:35.920
Um, city manager. >> Yeah, I had two items for you this evening. The first one on the agenda, CRA budget workshops. Um, I want before I did this, I just wanted to talk to you all publicly uh to get a feel for how you wanted me to go. I kind of have the

112
00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:52.000
feeling that this the CRAAS, specifically the downtown CRA and the Carver Heights CRA, that that board likes to have a little more discussion. Um, so what I'd like to do is we always schedule four workshops for the budget

113
00:36:52.000 --> 00:37:08.720
this year. They're scheduled for seven July 7 914 and 16 I believe. >> Yes. >> The 9th is the budget workshop where we would discuss the CRAAS. What I'd like to do is change the schedule so that

114
00:37:08.720 --> 00:37:25.680
we'll have a little bit of a lighter day on the 9th, but on the 14th, we use that day to to kind of have a joint workshop so that we can have the CRA boards give a little bit more input. The other option would be to schedule them before

115
00:37:25.680 --> 00:37:42.160
regular meeting so we don't have to come and have a special meeting, but then there then your time constraint. So I I just thought that would lend itself a better hand to the CRAAS to hear some of the concepts and ideas uh before we get to final budget if you guys are okay with that. So it lightens your load the

116
00:37:42.160 --> 00:37:59.440
19th but it it it gives you a little bit more I'm sorry it lightens your load a little bit on the 9th but it you know typically the last couple years we haven't used that fourth meeting. So that's why I thought ah it's on the calendar. I think the CRAAS would probably like to talk a little bit more.

117
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:15.440
So it everybody's kind of saying, "Yeah." So that I'll move forward that way and I'll notify the CRAAS about that. The second issue a little bit the same. Um but it but you guys function as the 44127 CRA. There's no other citizen

118
00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:33.280
input on that. We have received about 9 to 10 home applications for the grant program on the 44127 CRA. This year we only budgeted 50 grand. So that 50 grand is actually two grantsish at full

119
00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:52.240
freight if you go 25 grand. That CRA can absorb um probably all those applications if you want to do that. Um so a couple options. A we can prep all of them or B um we can rank them and

120
00:38:52.240 --> 00:39:07.920
then bring them to you. Do you guys have a preference on how we do that? If you do go more than two grants and you you know you would if so at 50 grand if you know assuming all and I haven't put my eyes on all the grants um Sandra has um

121
00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:22.400
so we could we could prioritize them for you and say do two grants at full funding or split the funding or if you guys want to throw more money at it. So about 25 a grant. So you're looking at probably about another 200

122
00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:40.200
grand it to to fund everybody. Do you guys do any guidance you want to give >> money in there? >> It's not budgeted, but the the the 44127 CRA can handle a $200,000 increase.

123
00:39:41.520 --> 00:39:56.640
>> I was going to say I would I would recommend ranking them and let's talk about the dollars and cents in the budget meeting where we see the numbers and stuff. We'll review them all and then we'll bring it back to you. >> Yes. >> At at another meeting. >> Perfect. Um, that's all the matters I had tonight. I'll just I know we we kind

124
00:39:56.640 --> 00:40:12.640
of zoomed through fast just so for the members of the public. Those two planning and zoning issues. Remember this is a first reading. So the the commission chose not to hear public input tonight. It's not required. It's not a bonafide public hearing. The bonafide public hearing will be that

125
00:40:12.640 --> 00:40:28.320
July 22nd date. So everybody will have an opportunity to Is that what 27? There you go. No, >> July 27. >> July 7th. Yeah, >> July 27. >> So red letter day. Mark that on your

126
00:40:28.320 --> 00:40:45.760
calendars and you know I'm sure the commission will hear everybody on that date when it's the bonafide public hearing. Uh that's all I have for you. >> Call Commissioner Con? Nothing tonight. >> Commissioner Bur, >> nothing tonight.

127
00:40:45.760 --> 00:41:01.359
>> Commissioner Peterson, >> nothing tonight. >> Commissioner Reeseman, >> I just want to give congratulations to Corporal Huer and his K9 Nick. They competed on Saturday in the 2026 Treasure Coast Police K9 Competition and brought home first place against all the other competitors. So, congratulations

128
00:41:01.359 --> 00:41:17.359
and all the Leburg Police Department, how hard they work for our city. Thank you, >> Mayor Barry. Um Barry, >> yes. I like to bring attention to the Rotary Noon Club is celebrating their hundred years of um service in our
