IN FRONT OF  EVERYBODY THAT THEY KNOW THAT  THESE PEOPLE GOING OUT. AND  DOING WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO  BE DOING ON A DAILY BASIS.  >> HAVE YOU HAD ANY  OPPORTUNITY YET TO TAKE A LOOK  AT COMPARABLE SIZE CITY'S  POPULATION WHICH TO SEE. HOW  THE SALARIES MATCHUP AGAINST  WHAT COMMISSION. IS PRESENTLY  MACON.  >> YET I HAVEN'T HAD GOTTEN  FAR WITH YET THAT'S WHAT IT'S  IT'S A.  >> A AT THE MOMENT DID WE'RE  LOOKING AT OTHER THINGS FIRST  AND THAT WILL COME INTO THAT.  >> I MEAN OBVIOUSLY YOU KNOW  THAT THEY'RE IMPORTANT FROM  THE STANDPOINT OF. YOU KNOW  REALLY FINDING A WAY THAT WE  CAN ATTRACT AS CITY. YOUNGER  PEOPLE. NOT TO SAY THERE'S  ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.  >> GRAND IS THAT  >> TO BE ABLE TO ATTRACT  BROADER BASE OF OF POTENTIAL  CANDIDATES. IT'S VERY  DIFFICULT TO DO SO IF YOU'VE  GOT A FAMILY AND A COUPLE OF  KIDS OBVIOUSLY, AND YOU'VE GOT  TO GIVE UP. YOU KNOW TO DO THE  JOB THE WAY REALLY NEED TO DO  IT TO TO GIVE UP A FULL-TIME  JOB WITH A SALARY THAT THIS  JOB BASE AND I THINK. THAT'S  TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE CITY  AT HERTZ TO CITY TO NOT BE  ABLE TO REACH OUT TO 2 TO THAT  BROADER BASE OF OF OF CITIZEN,  SO THIS IS AN IMPORTANT  MISSION.  >> THE COMMENTS LATELY ON LIE.  PEOPLE ASKING FOR LOOKING FOR  CANDIDATES, THE ROCK IS FULL  TIME JOB CAN'T DO IT. AND I  THINK THAT IS A A CATCH 22.  GOOD PEOPLE HAVE A FULL-TIME  JOB. AND BECAUSE EVEN JUST  LOOKING AT THE MEETINGS HERE  ONES AND THEY WANT TO DIE.  THEY THEY CAN'T DO IT MUCH FOR  SELF EMPLOYED. THERE IS SOME.  PROBLEMS GOING FORWARD. I  DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER. THAT'S  WHY IT'S ON THE EDGE OF THAT  JUST TO TALK ABOUT.  >> YOU GET ENOUGH. SALARY THIS  POSITION. FOR A PERSON TO  SURVIVE ON NOT HAVE TO TAKE  ANOTHER JOB, YOU PROBABLY ARE  NOT GOING TO ATTRACT TOO MANY  YOUNG UP AND COMING.  INDIVIDUALS.  >> I APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU  HAVE SOMETHING ON THAT TOPIC.  YEAH SO WANT TO GO BACK TO THE  JOB I REVIEW JIM MINUTES FROM  PREVIOUS MEETINGS THAT YOU  GUYS UP HIGH. I'M SORRY BUT  YOU GUYS HAVE DISCUSSED JOB  DESCRIPTIONS OVER AND OVER AND  OVER AND OVER.  >> AND OVER AGAIN.  >> AND YOUR FEBRUARY MEETING  GUYS DECIDED ACTION. I DON'T  KNOW HOW YOU WOULD PUT A JOB  DESCRIPTION TOGETHER.  >> BECAUSE EACH ONE OF US. A  FIGHT 4 OF US. EACH DO OUR JOB  A LITTLE BIT SHIP THERE. BUT  COUNTABLE TO BE ELECTED. THE  PEOPLE THAT ELECTED AND IF THE  PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES  AND THE GOVERNOR AND THE  COUNTY OFFICIALS DO NOT HAVE  JOB DESCRIPTIONS WHY WOULD WE.  AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW A JOB  DESCRIPTION WOULD ANYBODY'S  BEST INTEREST BECAUSE WHEN YOU  HAVE A JOB DESCRIPTION THAT IS  TELLING YOU THAT IS YOUR JOB.  AND SOMETIMES JOB DESCRIPTION  IF YOU DEVIATE FROM THAT  DESCRIPTION AND IT CAN GET YOU  INTO TROUBLE. THE PEOPLE  ELECTED US TO DO OUR JOB.  WHATEVER THAT LOOKS LIKE. AND  AND TO PUT A JOB DESCRIPTION  IN THE CHARTER. YOU FORGET  SOMETHING WE'VE GOT TO GO  RIGHT BACK TO THE VOTERS TO  HAVE CLEANED WE'RE GOING RIGHT  BACK TO THE VOTERS TO HAVE X  WITH IT. SO I DON'T SEE THE  PURPOSE OF PUTTING THE JOB  DESCRIPTION IN THE CHART.  >> I THINK THAT ONE OF THINGS  THAT CAME OUT OF ALL THOSE  DISCUSSIONS WAS WE WERE NOT  AWARE ABOUT COMMISSIONERS AND  BOOK. THAT IS KIND OF KIND OF  YOUR BIBLE OF WHAT YOU DO AND  DON'T DO. I THINK THAT CAME UP  AFTER THAT OUT OF THAT  DISCUSSION THAT'S NOT THE JOB  HELPING US BE COMMISSIONERS  KIND OF LIKE AN EMPLOYEE  HANDBOOK HELPS EMPLOYEES  FIGURE OUT.  >> SO WE'RE.  >> WE PASS THAT UP THE ONLY  THING THAT IS POSSIBLE AND ARE  NOW IS. SO THAT HE WAS  THINKING OF MAYBE JUST ADDING  A FEW WORDS IN THE CHARTER  THAT SAID SOMETHING ALONG THE  LINES OF THIS IS A FULL-TIME  JOB AND LEAVING IT AT THAT,  BUT BUT EVEN THAT AT THAT  POINT WAS NOT IT WAS ON THE  AGENDA PRESSED LOOK WE'RE NOT  REALLY CONSIDERING AT THIS  POINT IT ANYTHING IT'S THAT IT  WOULD BE VERY  >> AND EVEN IF YOU PUT IN  THERE IF IT'S A PART-TIME OR  FULL-TIME JOB. THIS WHAT I DO  IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN  WHAT MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS  MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS DO IS  COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN THE  NEWLY ELECTED PERSON WOULD BE  DOING TO PUT SOMETHING THAT.  RESTRICTED IN THE CHARTER THAT  IS VERY SUBJECTIVE IT DEFIES  THE PURPOSE OF WHAT CHARTER IS  IN MY OPINION. SO I I  UNDERSTAND THAT TO THIS IS A  VERY IMPORTANT ITEM FOR SOME  OF THE BOARD. BUT YOU GUYS  OVER TIME HAVE TALKED ABOUT SO  MUCH AND HAVE NEVER COME TO A  CONCLUSION. EXCEPT THAT YOU'RE  NOT GOING TO TAKE ACTION THAT  TO ME IS KIND OF SAYING THAT.  YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT WE  WOULD WANT TO PUT IN THE  CHARTER IF ANYTHING.  >> EVERYTHING YOU SAID IS  TRUE, WHICH IS ONE OF THE  REASONS WHY WE HAVEN'T GONE  FURTHER WITH IT IS SO MOST  DESCRIPTION I FOR ITEM. SO WHY  TRY TO DO ANYTHING LIKE YOU  SAID IT WENT IN THERE AND IT  WAS QUITE A MISSING. YOU GOT  TO GO BACK TO SO AT THIS POINT  LIKE IT'S THAT IT'S VERY VERY  LOW KEY. WE MAY NOT TAKE ANY  FURTHER ACTION ON IT THE REST  OF THE YEAR. WE COME UP WITH  ANY REASON TO AT THIS POINT  TIME. AND YOU KNOW.  >> PART OF WHAT I HOPE TO GET  OUT OF THIS MEETING IS TO  HOPEFULLY GIVE YOU GUYS SOME  DEFINITIVE TASK SOMEWHAT TO  FOCUS ON INSTEAD OF JUST  SPINNING WHEELS IN MEETING  JUST TO MEET BECAUSE THAT'S  NOT BENEFICIAL FOR YOUR TIME  AND AND STAFF'S TIME TO BE AT  THE MEETINGS AND YOU KNOW  WHOLE PURPOSE OF YOUR BOARD IS  TO FIGURE OUT THINGS THAT  ACTUALLY GOING CHARTER. YOU  KNOW WE'VE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT  THAT AS FAR AS THE  COMPENSATION ONE.  >> AS ONE OF THE ELECTED  OFFICIALS THAT PUT THE POLICY  IN PLACE FOR COMPENSATION. I  DON'T REMEMBER IF WAS ON THE  BOARD AT THAT TIME BUT WE  PRETTY MUCH FOLLOW THE FORMULA  OUTLINED BY THE STATE. SO THE  STATE HAS A FORMULA FOR  COMPENSATION THAT THE COUNTY  ALSO USES FOR THEIR CAN YOU  KNOW THEY'RE COUNTY  COMMISSIONERS ALONG SOME OTHER  OFFICIALS. I THINK THE  CHARTER. SO CALLED THE.  CHARTER OFFICERS LIKE THE TAX  ASSESSOR AND THE COUNTY OR  THANK YOU COUNTY OFFICERS.  THEIR PAY IS REGULATED BY THAT  FORMULA. SO WE USE THE SAME  FORMULA THAT IS PUT OUT BY THE  STATE. THE ONLY THING THAT WE  CHANGED AT THAT TIME WAS THE  BASE AMOUNT BECAUSE I THINK IT  WAS 2018 THAT BASE AMOUNT  WOULD HAVE INCREASED OUR  SALARY TO LIKE 50,000 OF  $45,000. MORE LIKE NO THAT'S  THAT'S NOT IT WAS TOO HOT. SO  WE GO I THE POPULATION OF THE  CITY AS THE POPULATION  INCREASES SO DOES OUR SALARY  BUT IT'S BASED ON THE FORMULA  AND BELIEVE ME.  >> YOU WANT TO GET INTO A  LESSON IN ALGEBRA TAKE A LOOK  THAT POINT IT'S IT'S QUITE AND  I CAN SEND IT TO THE CITY  CLERK OR CITY MANAGER PROBABLY  HASN'T WITH PAYROLL. SO THAT  YOU GUYS CAN TAKE A LOOK AT  THAT FORMULA. BUT IT IS STATE  VETTED FORMULA. WHEN WE WERE  TALKING ABOUT THAT FORMULA I  WANTED TO KIND OF HAVE IT MORE  GEARED TOWARDS.  >> WHAT  >> SO  >> CITIZENS MAKE WHAT IS THE  AVERAGE INCOME OF THE CITIZENS  AND MAKE IT KIND OF REASON ALL  OF THE BOATS AT THE SAME TIME  AND BENEFITING EVERYBODY AT  THE SAME TIME. BUT WE COULDN'T  COME UP WITH VIABLE ACROSS THE  BOARD MEDIUM FOR THAT. TO BE  ABLE TO USED.  >> EVERY YEAR YEAR AFTER YEAR.  >> WHERE IS THE STATE FORMULA  SEEMED TO BE A CONSTANT STATE  WIDE. SO I JUST WANTED TO  SHARE THAT WITH YOU IT'S NOT  LIKE SOME NUMBER WE PICKED OUT  OF THE AIR IT IS A STATE ISSUE  FOR IF WE DIDN'T KNOW IT BE  INTERESTING TO SEE IT. SO JUST  WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU.  COMMISSIONER LANGDON HAD OR  LIGHT ON THAT SAME TOPIC SAME  TOUGHER. I COME AT IT FROM A  SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT POINT OF  VIEW.  >> ALL OF THESE CONVERSE  SEVERAL DAYS THE HOW THE  INCREASES THE JOB DESCRIPTIONS  AND SAID FULLOR PART-TIME.  >> TO ME.  >> THOSE CONVERSATIONS. AND MY  MIND SEEK TO FACILITATE PEOPLE  DECIDING TO RUN FOR  COMMISSION. NOT SO MUCH A JOB  DESCRIPTION BUT OVER THE PAST  3 AND A HALF YEARS THAT I'VE  BEEN A COMMISSIONER I'VE BEEN  APPROACHED BY SEVERAL PEOPLE  WHO ARE THINKING OF RUNNING.  TO FIGURE OUT. THEY WANT TO DO  THE JOB WHAT DOES THAT ENTAIL  IS AT FULL TIME OR PART TIME.  THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS  THAT GO THROUGH SOMEONE'S  MIND. BEFORE THEY DECIDE TO  RUN ITS. WHAT ARE THE  EXPECTATIONS. AND THE WAY I  DESCRIBE IT TO PEOPLE AND  WHETHER THIS BELONGS AND  CHARTER OF LAWNS AND HANDBOOK  IF IF YOU LIKE THE APPROACH OF  THAT. I'LL LEAVE TO OTHERS TO  FIGURE THAT OUT BUT I LOOK AT  THE WORK WE DO IN 3 TIERS. BIG  THE CORE THE ESSENCE JOB. I'M  IN MY MIND IS COMING TO THESE  MEETINGS. PREPARED READY TO  MAKE DECISIONS. AND AND THAT'S  THE MOST IMPORTANT FUNCTION  THAT WE HAVE BUT IT'S WHAT WE  DO UP HERE AND WHAT WE DO TO  GET READY. FOR THESE  CONVERSATIONS SO SO THAT'S THE  MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT WE  DO. SECOND WE ALL EVERY YEAR  DISCUSS ASSIGNMENTS. WHERE WE  REPRESENT THE CITY OF NORTH  PORT USUALLY TO REGIONAL OR  STATEWIDE ORGANIZATIONS. IN MY  MIND THAT'S REALLY EQUALLY  IMPORTANT AS THE FIRST HERE. I  WOULDN'T SAY EQUALLY IMPORTANT  AND HOW WE REPRESENT THE CITY  AND AND GOING INTO THOSE  MEETINGS PREPARED.  CONVERSATIONS THAT THERE  AREN'T HERE. IT'S REALLY  OPTIONAL AND MY MIND. AND OUR  CITY EVENTS WE ALL GET INVITED  TO ALL KINDS OF SAYINGS. SOME  OF US TRY TO DO ALL OF THEM.  SOME OF OUR HEART LEADS US  CERTAIN DIRECTIONS WE WE MIGHT  SHOW IT NONPROFIT THINGS SOME  OF US MIGHT GO TOWARD A  CHAMBER THINGS SO THAT TENDS  TO BE I'M MORE A MORE PERSONAL  DECISION. HOW MUCH TIME WE GET  TO THE JOB. I LOOK AT THAT.  IT'S TOTALLY CUSTOMIZABLE  WHETHER WE GO OR DON'T GO.  IT'S REALLY UP TO US TO DECIDE  HOW MUCH TIME WE HAVE THEIR  INTERESTS. WHY AND AND I THINK  IF SOMEHOW SOME WAY I  PERSONALLY DON'T CARE WHERE IT  IS IF WE COULD ARTICULATE VERY  SIMPLY WITHOUT A WHOLE LOT OF  DETAIL. WHAT ARE REALLY THE  EXPECTATIONS. COMMISSIONER.  AND WHAT'S REALLY THE ESSENCE  OF THE JOB AND WHAT WHAT ARE  THE OTHER KINDS OF THINGS I  MEAN I DON'T KNOW HOW OTHERS  FEEL THAT I SPEND AS MUCH  TIME. COMMUNITY AND CITY  EVENTS AS I DO I'M MAYA THE  ROAD. I'M RETIRED I CAN I CAN  DO THAT. AND A OUR GOAL IS TO  ATTRACT A BROADER RANGE OF  BACKGROUNDS. PEOPLE WHO ARE  WORKING. TO TO MAKE AN  ESTIMATE AND AND THIS IS TOUGH  TOO BECAUSE HOW LONG IT TAKES  US TO PREPARE FOR OUR REGULAR  MEETINGS. IS VERY MUCH  DEPENDENT ON OUR BACKGROUNDS.  SOME TOPICS ARE VERY HARD FOR  FOR SOME OF US ARE ALL OF US  TO GRASP. BUT. IF WE COULD  SORT OF SAY ON AVERAGE DOING  THAT TOP LEVEL OF THE JOB  WHICH IS THESE MEETINGS AND  AND BEING PREPARED AND VOTING  ON LAWS RESOLUTIONS TAKES ON  AVERAGE ARRANGE THIS TO THIS.  THE SECOND PART YOU KNOW WHERE  WE REPRESENT THE CITY AT  REGIONAL EVENTS TAKES THIS A  MOMENT TIME. RANGE AND THE  REST OF THAT IT'S REALLY IN MY  MIND WHAT MAKES THE JOB EITHER  PART-TIME OR FULL-TIME. AND  THAT REALLY SHOULD MY MIND BE  UP TO THE DISCRETION OF  INDIVIDUAL COMMISSIONERS  PEOPLE LOVE TO HAVE US COME.  BUT AGAIN IF WE WANT TO  ATTRACT PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT  RETIRED. THEN WE NEED TO HAVE  SOME WAY OF SHEDDING THEIR  EXPECTATIONS WHAT DOES THE JOB  REALLY ENTAIL. AND AND I KIND  OF FALL ON THE SIDE OF IT CAN  BE PART TIME. IT CAN BE FULL  TIME. PARTS OF THE JOB AND  NON-NEGOTIABLE. AND AND SO  THAT'S WHERE I SORT OF COME AT  THE JOB DESCRIPTION NOT A  STANDARD JOB DESCRIPTION. BUT  WATER REALLY THE EXPECTATIONS  OF A COMMISSIONER AND IN A  RANGE. WHAT SHOULD SOMEONE  WHO'S LOOKING AT RUNNING.  PREPARED TO INVEST TIME WISE  AND THE ROLE IN THE JOB  WHETHER HANDBOOK OR WHETHER  IT'S ON THE WEBSITE SOME PLACE  UP OUR AND THE CHARTER IS IT'S  A LESS IMPORTANT TO ME THEN IT  IS THAT PROVIDE INFORMATION TO  PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE INTERESTED  IN RUNNING THAT IS HELPFUL TO  THEM IN TERMS OF MAKING THAT  DECISION. SO THAT'S SORT OF  WHERE I COME AT IT FROM. YES,  PUT MY $0.2 AND I'M GLAD THAT.  SO YOU SAID THAT THERE'S  NOWHERE.  >> AND IN THE COUNTRY THAT  ELECTED OFFICIALS JOB AS A  DESCRIPTION AND THIS IS  EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO  DO. BECAUSE. WE ELECT PEOPLE  TO REPRESENT OUR BEST  INTERESTS TO BE REPRESENTATIVE  OF. WHAT PEOPLE WANT AND THAT  DOESN'T ALWAYS EQUATE TO THE  MAJORITY. IT'S THE BEST JUST  HAD A GENTLEMAN UP HERE WAS  WASN'T HAPPY WITH THE DECISION  BUT AND I UNDERSTAND THAT. I  EQUATE THAT TO A GOOD PARENT  AND AND AND CHILDREN YOU KNOW  IF YOU ASK YOUR KIDS YOU KNOW  WHO WANTS TO HAVE ICE CREAM  FOR FOR DINNER AND YES,  THEY'RE ALL GOING TO SAY SURE  BUT IS THAT THE BEST. THANK TO  DO AND SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO  MAKE THOSE HARD. THAT SHOULD  BE A HARD CHOICE RIGHT CARE  ABOUT. IT'S IT'S WHAT'S THE  BEST INTEREST FOR FOR EVERYONE  MAY NOT ALWAYS BE THE MOST  POPULAR.  >> AND I HAVE TO JUST BE  HONEST WITH YOU I'M NOT A FAN  OF WHAT GOES ON ON SOCIAL  MEDIA. IT'S USUALLY THAT ARE  PEOPLE THAT THAT IS PEOPLE WHO  ARE UNHAPPY. I LEARNED THAT  AND THE DECADES AND LIVED HERE  THAT PEOPLE WILL COME OUT WHEN  THEY DON'T LIKE SOMETHING WHEN  THEY'RE AGAINST SOMETHING IT'S  DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE TO COME  SAY HEY THIS IS GOOD WE LIKE  THIS. THEY'RE NOT THAT YOU  KNOW SOME WILL POST ON SOCIAL  MEDIA GET SOMETHING IN THEIR  MCDONALD BAG, YOU KNOW, AND  THIS IS TERRIBLE BUT YOU NOT  TO HEAR FROM THE THOUSANDS OF  PEOPLE GO THROUGH THERE ALL  THE TIME AND EVERYTHING IT'S  FINE IF THAT'S HOW WE ARE  HUMAN NATURE. AND WE TALKED  ABOUT ATTRACTING YOUNGER  CANDIDATES. YOU KNOW, IT'S IF  YOU'RE ELECTED. IT'S A  FOUR-YEAR GIG THAT'S IT AND  THEN YOU GO BACK TO WHAT I  KNOW WHEN I WAS TEACHING.  PEOPLE SAID YOU SHOULD RUN AND  I SAID I CAN'T AFFORD IT  NUMBER ONE BECAUSE THE SALARY  WOULD GET A SALARY CUT BUT I  WOULD HAVE LOST 4 YEARS.  GETTING MY MY STEPS IN  TEACHING AND AND SO IT'S NOT  JUST FOR THAT. THAT TIME IT'S  IT'S IT'S A FOUR-YEAR  COMMITMENT BUT AGAIN IT'S  SOMEONE WHO REALLY WANTS TO DO  THAT AND I HATE TO SIT SAY PUT  UP TO PEOPLE AND PEOPLE ARE  UNHAPPY TO LISTEN TO THEM AND  TO TRY TO GET A COMPROMISE AND  THAT DOES TAKE A CERTAIN  INDIVIDUAL TO BE ABLE TO DO  THAT. SO IT'S NOT JUST A JOB.  APPRECIATE THE CONVERSATIONS  FROM MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS  YOU KNOW IT IS. IT IS WHAT IT  WHAT IT AND AND THAT THE LED  THE COMMISSIONER MCDOWELL  BROUGHT THAT UP THERE IS A  FORMULA FOR FIGURING THAT OUT.  IT'S BASED ON POPULATION RIGHT  PART OF THAT SO. BUT LIKE I  SAID I'M REALLY GLAD YOU DROP  THE WHOLE JOB DESCRIPTIONS  THING BECAUSE THEN YOU HAVE  THAT JOB DESCRIPTION THEN  YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE  BENCHMARKS TO HAVE TO HAVE  STANDARDS HOW DO YOU KNOW  SOMEONE IS FILLING CHOP  DESCRIPTION AND AGAIN AS A  TEACHER I KNOW THAT THAT WE  HAD BENCHMARKS WE HAD A MEET  HAD TO BACKED UP WITH TEST.  SCORES AND EVERYTHING ELSE BUT  YOU KNOW HERE YOU WOULD HAVE  TO DO THAT TO END AS  COMMISSIONER HE WAS SAYING WE  GO OUT AND THE PUBLIC. THAT  EVERY TIME GO OUT WE GET A  POINT SO MANY POINTS. I I  DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW YOU WOULD  EVEN BEGIN FIGURE THAT OUT. I  APPRECIATE THAT YOU HAD A  DISCUSSION ABOUT IT, BUT I  AGAIN A LOT OF THIS IS FIELD  BY PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPRESSING  THEIR UNHAPPINESS WITH WHAT  THEY SEE. I'M GOING ON. BUT IF  YOU IF YOU REALLY I LOOK AT  YOU KNOW WHAT'S THE HEART OF  THE MATTER AND WAS THAT  DECISION MADE AND THE BEST  INTEREST OF EVERYBODY. IF IT  WASN'T THAT I COULD SEE IT  THEY WOULD HAVE. I DON'T I  DON'T SEE IT THAT WAY. SO.  >> VICE MAYOR BACK TO THAT  SAME TOPIC ON THAT SAME YOU  KNOW I WISH THE CHARGERS WERE  FRONT OF ME, BUT. THE  DESCRIPTION. THE JOB IS. IS  VERY BROAD THERE'S JUST  GENERAL PARAMETERS WHICH IS  YOU KNOW. COMMISSIONERS GIVE  CORRECTION. WE APPROVED  BUDGET. WE HAVE 3 CHARTER  OFFICERS REPORT TO US. AND WE  ARE. STUART'S OF THE CITIZENS  DOLLARS. THAT TO ME IS PRETTY  DARN GOOD DESCRIPTION. WELL  ENOUGH, AND ALL INCLUSIVE  ENOUGH TO ALLOW ANY ELECTED  OFFICIAL TO OPERATE IN THEIR  CAPACITY AS AN ELECTED. AND  THEN BE JUDGED AS MISTER KAREN  SAID BY THE PUBLIC. I DON'T  SEE THE NEED I THINK CHARTED  REAL GOOD JOB I THINK. WHAT IT  SAYS SAYS AND I'M KIND OF GOOD  WITH ALL THAT. TO THE ISSUE OF  COMPENSATION, YOU KNOW.  FORMULA SEEMS TO WORK. I MEAN  IT'S TRYING NOT TO REINVENT  THE WHEEL WORKS AND AND USING  STATE METHODOLOGY SEEMS TO BE  WORKING ESPECIALLY IN A CITY  LIKE OURS WHICH IS GROWING.  THERE MIGHT BE YOU KNOW A LOOK  AT THE BASE TO SAY YOU KNOW  WHEN WHEN COMMISSION LOOKED AT  IT. THEN AND PUT IT IN PLACE.  USED A FORMULA BUT IT SET UP  BASE AND THERE WAS SOME  CONVERSATION ABOUT. WELL THAT  THEY SHOULD BE SET IT WAS  DECIDED TO BE SET AT A CERTAIN  NUMBER. IN WHITE INFLATION IN  LIGHT OF WHOLE MULTITUDE  THINGS PERHAPS THAT'S THE  WARNING AREA THAT MIGHT BE  LOOKED AT TO SEE F IT MADE  SENSE TO ADJUST THAT BASE AND  STILL UTILIZING THE SAME  FORMULA AND MAYBE THAT WOULD  HELP SOLVE PART OF THE PROBLEM  ATTRACTING. FOLKS THAT THAT  COULD SEE THIS AS A FULL-TIME  ENDEAVOR OR FIND THEIR WAY TO  BE ABLE LIVE ON THIS SALARY  AND AND SOME MINOR OTHER  INCOMES, BUT. CERTAINLY THE  GOAL. IN SOME WAY SHAPE OR  FORM WANT TO BE TO TRY TO  ATTRACT A GREATER BASE AND  IT'S FOR US PEOPLE TRYING  UNDERSTAND WHAT THE JOB IS  WELL QUITE FRANKLY I I I SEE A  TOTALLY DIFFERENT IF YOU'RE  INTERESTED IN RUNNING. GET OUT  FROM BEHIND KEYBOARD COME IN  HERE. WATCH THE MEETINGS. CALL  OUT COMMISSIONERS. NOT THE  SENSE, BUT ALL I'M OUT IN THE  SENSE OF WHAT DO YOU DO HOW  ARE YOU DEALING WITH THIS HOW  ARE YOU DOING THAT YOUR SYSTEM  YOU WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN THE  PROCESS GET INVOLVED IN THE  PROCESS. NOBODY NEEDS TO GET A  SPOON FED TO THEM AND  CERTAINLY I DON'T THINK WOULD  WANT TO ELECT WORST NEED TO BE  SPOON-FED SO I TAKE A TOTALLY  DIFFERENT APPROACH I DON'T  THINK. FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT  WANT TO PONTIFICATE GOD BLESS  THEM, THEY'RE ENTITLED TO PASS  AMERICAN CAN SAY WHAT YOU  WANT. PRETTY MUCH ANYBODY YOU  WANT IN ANY WAY YOU WANT BUT  THAT DOESN'T MAKE QUALIFIED  INDIVIDUAL TO RUN FOR OFFICE,  FOR GET INVOLVED FIGURE IT  OUT. FIND OUT WHAT THE JOB IS  WHAT DETAILS AND THEN JUST SAW  IT. WHAT COMMITMENT YOUR WANT  TO MAKE TO THE CITY PUT  YOURSELF OUT THERE WITH THE  PEOPLE DECIDE IF YOU'RE WORTH  IT, AND IF THEY ELECT IT AND  YOU'VE GOT TO PROVE THAT WHAT  YOU SAID. THIS WHAT YOU STAND  FOR AND TO ME. IF IT BROKEN  DON'T FIX. ONLY THING IS IS  SOMEHOW WE CAN ATTRACT MORE  PEOPLE SO I MAYBE IT'S WORTH  LOOKING AT  >> DO SOMETHING I WANT  FOLLOW-UP. VICE MAYOR WITH THE  WANT TO LEARN ABOUT THE JOB  WHICH MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH  IS COME OUT TO THE MEETINGS  WATCH THE MEETINGS ONLINE ASK  QUESTIONS IF PUBLIC TIME  THERE'S NO BETTER TEACHER THAN  STANDING RIGHT THERE GIVING  PUBLIC COMMENT. NO BETTER  TEACHER.  >> THE OTHER THING IS IS. AS  THE ONLY PERSON ON THIS BOARD  THAT IS NOT RETIRED IT CAN BE  DONE IF THERE'S A WILL I'VE  SERVED ON THIS BOARD WITH MANY  DIFFERENT BOARDS AND THERE WAS  A TIME THE BOARD HAD 3 PEOPLE  THAT WERE NOT RETIRE. AND THEY  FIGURED IT OUT. IF THERE'S A  WILL THERE IS A WAY AND TO PUT  COMPENSATION JOB DESCRIPTIONS  FULL-TIME PART-TIME IN THE  CHARTER BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU  WISH FOR BECAUSE YOU MAY JUST  REGRET BECAUSE AT SOME POINT.  WHAT'S IN THE CHARTER HAS TO  BE FOLLOWED. HAS TO BE  FOLLOWED TO THE LETTER AND IF  YOU'RE GOING TO SAY WELL THIS  IS THE GIST OF IT WHO GETS TO  DECIDE THE GIST OF IT. THE  VOTERS THAT THE CITIZENS  STAFF. WHAT IF THE EXPECTATION  IS HIGHER IN THIS LEVEL OF TO  THAT CITIZEN AND LOWER FOR  THAT SAME CITIZEN ON A  DIFFERENT SUBJECT. SO IT. I'M  TELLING YA IT'S A PATH I  REALLY DON'T THINK ALONG IN  THE CHARTER.  >> IF IT NEEDS TO BE A POLICY.  THAT ALL THAT THE COMMISSION  MUST ATTEND MEETINGS OR THE  COMMISSION MUST DO SOMETHING.  THAT'S A VERY STICKY WICKET  BECAUSE NOBODY CAN REALLY TELL  US HOW TO DO OUR JOB. BECAUSE  WE CAN'T BE FIRED. WE CAN BE  FIRED BY RECALL WE CAN BE  FIRED FOR.  >> NOW THAT THE BEST FIRING IS  THAT THE ELECTION BOX. WE'RE  GETTING TURNED OUT.  >> SO  >> I JUST CAUTION YOU AND  SPENDING TIME ON THIS WITHOUT  THINKING OF THE RAMIFICATIONS  OF THAT GOING IN.  >> ART HER.  >> IF THERE'S PEOPLE OUT THERE  DOESN'T MATTER WHAT AGE THEY  ARE MATTERS WHAT'S HERE.  MATTERS WHAT'S IN HERE IF THEY  HAVE A DESIRE TO DO THE JOB TO  THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITY.  THAT'S WHERE IT MATTERS AND IF  THEY WANT TO BE A TEACHER THEY  WANTED LEARN IT, I'M SITTING  IN MEETINGS IF PUBLIC COMMENT  STUDY THE BACKUP MATERIALS.  TALKED TO SOMEBODY WHO HAS  WALKED THE WALK TALK TO ANY  ONE OF THEIR FAVORITE  COMMISSIONERS PASSED OR OR  CURRENT. THEY CAN HELP THEM TO  VICE MAYOR'S POINT TO SOMEBODY  WHO'S THINKING ABOUT DOING IT.  GIVE ME A CALL. I HELP BUT I'M  GOING TO DO IT FOR RIGHT.  >> OKAY AND I JUST BRING UP A  MEMORY I REMEMBER YOU WERE.  YOU'RE THINKING UP.  >> AT EVERY SINGLE MEDIA  MEMBER THAT ONLY  >> AND SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE  TALKING ABOUT HAS IT NOT ON  THOSE MEETINGS THAT ARE  HEADED. DRY AND SEE WHAT IF  THAT'S REALLY SOMETHING YOU  CAN STAY THAT NOT JUST SITTING  HERE FOR A COUPLE HOURS THAT'S  WHAT PEOPLE THINK IT'S IT'S  EVERYTHING ELSE. AND IT'S ALSO  OTHER MEETINGS THAT MAYBE  AREN'T SO GLAMOROUS I HATE  THAT'S WHAT YOU DO SAY, YES  THAT'S RIGHT SO FOR ONE BUT  JUST BECAUSE THEY WANT FOR A  MOMENT TO COMMISSIONER LANGDON  IS POINT.  >> THERE'S A LOT OF  PREPARATION THAT HAPPENS  BEHIND THE SCENES, THERE'S A  LOT OF MEETINGS TO PREPARE A  BEHIND THE SCENES FOR EACH ONE  OF THESE COMMISSION MEETINGS  THAT WE HAD 10 EACH ONE OF US.  DO IT TO A DIFFERENT LEVEL IN  A DIFFERENT DEGREE AND THERE'S  NO RIGHT OR WRONG WAY TO DO  IT.  >> HE GOT A PRETTY GOOD. YEAH,  YEAH, THAT WOULD THINK THAT WE  BEAT IT TO THAT'S GOOD. BUT  IT'S GOOD THAT COMMISSIONER  MCDOWELL BROUGHT UP A REALLY  GOOD WITH THOSE THAT THERE'S A  LOT OF BEHIND THE SCENES THAT  PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE IS GREAT  THINGS  >> AND THAT WE HAVE WHAT WE  NEED. THE DEPARTMENT'S WEEK  MEET WITH EACH AND THEY HAVE  TO MEET WITH US SEPARATELY  THOSE ARE SO 5 SEPARATE  MEETINGS, THEY HAVE TO HAVE A  YEAH AND PEOPLE THINK IT TAKES  ALONG WITH THAT'S ONE OF THE  REASONS WHY WE HAVE AN AGENDA  BRIEFING. THAT STAFF HAS TO BE  THERE FOR 5 DIFFERENT HOURS AT  TO TALK TO US SO AND THOSE ARE  THINGS THAT PEOPLE DON'T SAY  THANKS FOR FOR BRINGING THAT  HAVE COMMISSIONER MCDOWELL I  WANT TO MOVE ON TO. POSSIBLE  ACTION REGARDING ADDING  SECTION TO THE CITY CHARTER  REGARDING PUBLIC COMMENT. WHAT  IS WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT.  >> I EVEN ANSWER QUESTION,  SOMEBODY BROUGHT MEETINGS THAT  WE SHOULD LOOK AT IT WE HAVE  DISCUSSED THAT YET IT'S NOT  OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY. SO AT  THIS POINT I CAN'T GIVE YOU A  GOOD ANSWERS TO WHAT THE REST  OF THE BOARD WAS THINKING  ABOUT.  >> BELIEVE THAT WAS SOMETHING  THAT CAME UP SHORTLY I CAME ON  THE BOARD AND THERE TALKS  ABOUT PEOPLE THAT DON'T RESIDE  IN THE CITY COMING UP AND  TALKING AT PUBLIC COMMENT. I  BELIEVE SOME OF THE COMMENTS  WERE. THE PERSON MIGHT BE  COMING IN PUBLIC COMMENT ON  SOMETHING BECAUSE THEY MIGHT  BE LOOKING TO MOVE INTO THE  CITY AND THEY HAVE A VESTED  FUTURE INTEREST IN WHAT'S  GOING ON WITH THE CITY. I  THINK THAT WAS EVENTUALLY SHOT  DOWN THAT WE WANT SIT THERE  AND DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT ONE  AS WELL.  >> BECAUSE ANYONE IS AMENDED  TO GIVE A PUBLIC COMMENT ANY  YOU CAN GO TO ANY TOWN IN THIS  STATE OR COUNTRY CAN GIVE THE  PUBLIC ALL RIGHT IT DOESN'T  MATTER IF YOU'RE A.  >> YOU KNOW NOT ACTUALLY OWN  PROPERTY OUT OVER NOW YOU KNOW  YOU DON'T THE REASON WHAT  PERSONS COMING UP THERE AND  HOW YOU CAN THERE THAT WHAT  THEIR REASONS FOR COMING UP  >> PROBABLY WILL DISAPPEAR UP  OUR AGENDA RATHER QUICKLY NEXT  ONE THAT I'M SORRY FALL OFF  THEIR AGENDA TO WE NEED TO  WEIGH IN ON THAT I I WOULD  LIKE WEIGH  >> THE CITY ATTORNEY HAS WITH  THE CITY CLERK JUST RECENTLY I  THINK IT WAS A WEEK OR ABOUT  PUBLIC COMMENT. CONSTITUTIONAL  WHY IS FIRST AMENDMENT.  >> AND THEY WEIGHED IN ON THAT  SO MAYBE WHAT CAN DO IS SHARE  THAT MEMO WITH THEM. SO THAT  WAY THEN THEY CAN SEE WHAT THE  CITY WAS  >> PINEY IN GIVING THEIR LEGAL  OPINION NOT. SO I I DON'T I  UNDERSTAND THAT YOU GUYS MAY  NOT YOU WHERE DO YOU USE WHAT  YOU MAY NOT MOVE THIS UP AND  YOU MAY NOT DISCUSS IT MAYBE  THIS WILL HELP YOU IN THAT  REGARD. I DON'T KNOW A SENATOR  IT CAN HURT TO US THAT  INFORMATION TO BELIEVE THAT  WAS BROUGHT UP AS WELL IN THE  MEETING CONCERNING FIRST  AMENDMENT RIGHTS AND THAT YOU  CAN'T STOP SOMEBODY FROM BEING  ABLE THE CITY ATTORNEY AND.  >> THIS BROUGHT THAT UP DURING  THE MEETING SAYING THAT THAT'S  SLIPPERY SLOPE THAT YOU DON'T  WANT TO GO BECAUSE OF THE  FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS FREEDOM  OF SPEECH.  >> SO I DON'T KNOW DO WE NEED  A CONSENSUS TO OKAY. THANK  YOU.  >> MANAGED ONE JUST VERY  BRIEFLY, I KNOW I REALLY AM. I  REALLY TO LIKE THE APPROACH  THIS CITY TAKEN THE PUBLIC  COMMENT THERE OR A NEW SQUARE.  YOU KNOW PEOPLE NEITHER SPEAK  ONLY AT THE BEGINNING THEY  SPEAK ONLY AT THE THERE'S A  FOR THINGS WE LIFT PEOPLE  PRETTY MUCH SPEAK. AT THE  BEGINNING AT THE WITH THE  JUDGE AND THE I THINK DO GOOD  JOB TRYING TO OFFER UP TO OUR  CITIZENS, THE OPPORTUNITY TO  SPEAK TO ISSUES AND TO SPEAK  TO US IN GENERAL. AND SO YOU  KNOW, I'M PRETTY PLEASED WITH  THAT I THINK WE DO A GOOD JOB  AND YOU KNOW I KNOW IT'S  FRUSTRATING SOME FOLKS WHO  FEEL THEY CAN ASK QUESTIONS  AND HAVE A GIVE AND TAKE BUT  YOU KNOW THAT'S WHAT ONE ON  ONES AND TOWN HALLS ARE FOR  AND AND AND YOU KNOW. CITIZENS  REALLY WANT TO ENGAGE  ONE-ON-ONE BASIS COULD DO IT  THE SUNSHINE MAKES IT TOUGH TO  DO THAT IT'S A GROUP SO YOU  KNOW SOMETIMES WHERE WE CAN  TALK AMONG OURSELVES, BUT  CITIZENS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME TO  COME AT US ONE ON ONE AND THEY  DO AND THEY DO MANY OF US MAY  WITH PEOPLE REGULARLY ON THERE  ARE A VARIETY OF SUBJECTS SO I  THINK WE DO A NICE JOB WITH IT  AGAIN ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE.  THANK THANKS. BROKE DON'T FIX  IT. IT OK.  >> SO WE CAN MOVE ON CONSTABLE  DISCUSSION POSSIBLE ACTION  REGARDING OPTION FOR  REFERENDUM RELATED TO THE  CITY'S AUTHORITY TO ISSUE  BOUGHT THIS IS PRIMARY FOR  WORKING ON.  >> AND PROBABLY WILL CONTINUE  UNTIL WE COME UP WITH A  DECISION. PRETTY MUCH OUR  OPINION THIS. SHOULD YOU NEED  HELP. IT NEEDS MONEY FOR  EMERGENCIES THAT IT CAN GET  RIGHT NOW BECAUSE ANY MONEY  ALMOST TEST REFERENDUM. I  THINK IF NOTHING ELSE. OKAY WE  HAD GOING COMING THROUGH HERE.  IT APPROVED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE  THAT YOU NEED MONEY IN A HURRY  AND EMERGENCY. AND YOU DON'T  HAVE TIME TO GO FOR SO WE NEED  TO COME UP WITH SOME SOLUTION  SO THAT PROBLEM AND THAT'S A  GOOD DR. OUR POINT ACTION FOR  THE REST OF THE YEAR COME UP  WITH IT. AND THAT PRETTY MUCH  LIKE THEY WITH YOUR OPINIONS  ARE ALSO WE CAN COMBINE  EVERYTHING.  >> ITS DRAFT REFERENDUM  THOUGHT THERE WAS.  >> YES CITY MANAGER IS WORKING  ON A DRAFT REFERENDUM, I'VE  LIKE TO SUGGEST.  >> I'M OR ARE DID DISCUSS THIS  PRIOR TO THIS BEING SENT OUT  IT WAS LIKE RIGHT AT THE SAME  TIME WE APPROVED REPORT AND  THIS DISCUSSION ITEMS ON THEIR  AGENDA. SO THAT'S WHY IT'S OF  THE BIG DID DISCUSS THIS ITEM  WE ARE HAVING FRIEND ON THIS  QUESTION.  THAT TO HAVE CITY MANAGER. I  WAS GOING TO SAY.  >> SO BASED ON OUR  RECOMMENDATION OF WHAT WE'RE  GOING TO DISCUSS NEXT WORKS  26. WE'RE NOT RECOMMENDING  THAT YOU FOLLOW THIS PATH WAY  OF GETTING THIS AUTHORITY. IN  OF NOVEMBER, 24.  >> WE DO BELIEVE IF YOU ASK  FOR THIS AUTHORITY WHICH IS  BEING DISCUSSED IN ADDITION TO  THE NEEDS. BUT THE POLICE  STATION THAT THE POLICE  STATION. THEY FAIL.  >> WE HAVE A COMBINED OUR ASK  24. IN AN. TO ART. BOTH  INVOLVING. POLICE  HEADQUARTERS. WE BELIEVE.  AGREE THEY NEED IN THE  COMMISSION AGREE WITH THE NEED  OF CHANGING THE CHARTER LED US  TO THIS POINT. IF WE HAVE TO  CHEW WE CHOOSE THE POLICE  HEADQUARTERS FIRST AND THE  CHARTER 2ND. THAT'S OUR  MISSION.  >> IF I'M AT WHAT WAS THE  RECOMMENDATION OF THE CHARTER  REVIEW BOARD WHEN YOU TOOK A  LOOK AT WE RECOMMENDED IT, BUT  WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ADDITION  TO THE POLICE STATION SO WE  WERE JUST GOING ALONG WITH THE  IDEA THAT. WE HAD HAVE SOME  KIND OF A REFERENDUM. GORDON  WELL FOR THE CHARTER CHANGE TO  POINT WHERE. X AMOUNT OF  DOLLARS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE  WITHOUT GOING TO A RECORD  REFERENDUM. EVERY TIME YOU  NEED. AND THAT'S WHAT WE WERE  AND AS FAR AS THE AMOUNT WE  PUT HIM OUT ON THERE. BUT IT  WAS ARE FEELING POINT THAT.  YOU DEAL WITH THE CITIZENS  MORE THAN WE DO. AND YOU DEAL  WITH BUDGET MORE THAN WE DO.  WE'LL DEAL WITH IT AT ALL. SO  YOU'VE PROBABLY BE BEST ONES  TO DETERMINE THE EXACT YOU  WOULD WANT TO PUT ON BUT WE'RE  ALSO WE ADOPTED SOMETHING FROM  THE COUNTY AND STATING THAT  EVERY YEAR THAT AMOUNT WOULD  INCREASE BY THE AMOUNT THE CPA  CPI GOES UP SO IT WOULD NOT BE  STATIC THINK YOU WOULD  INCREASE EVERY YEAR BASED ON  THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX. AND  THAT'S WHAT THE COUNTY DOES.  >> IT WAS PRIOR TO US. GETTING  IN THE RECENT WEEKS REGARDING  THE NEED FOR THE POLICE  HEADQUARTERS. WE HAVE PROPOSED  SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR TO THIS  BOARD WHERE THEY WILL LATER  WHO DID IT WE THE COUNTY'S  MODEL OF BEING ABLE TO BALL  20 MILLION DOLLARS PER  PROJECT. SO WE THOUGHT THAT  THE BEST WAY FOR THE VOTERS TO  APPROVE IT WOULD BE TO SEE  THAT WE WERE MODELING SOMEONE  WITH ALREADY SUCCESSFUL IN  DOING IT. YEAH SO WE WERE WE  WERE FULLY ON THAT BORDER WE  GET BACK ON THAT PATHWAY WE  WILL PROBABLY GO BACK.  >> TO THE SAME PLACE WHERE WE  LEFT IT WAS TRULY JUST THE  MATTER. THEN TRYING TO FIGURE  OUT HOW TO PAY FOR THAT  DECISION.  >> I WAS REASONABLE WE'RE  WILLING TO LOOK AT IT. ALL  RIGHT.  >> AND THAT'S GOOD CITY  MANAGER BROUGHT UP ABOUT THE  COUNTY MODEL THAT SO THAT  WE'RE NOT.  >> PAVING ANY NEW.  >> ASKED HERE AT OFFICES,  ALMOST STANDARD PRACTICE FOR  OTHER MUNICIPALITIES I YOU  HAVE SOME. AS WE ALL KNOW  NORTH PORT.  >> MUCH THE ONLY CITY I KNOW  OF THE STATE THAT. THAT'S NO  ABILITY TO BORROW MONEY. YOU  KNOW APPRECIATING THE EFFORTS  AND THE WORK YOU FOLKS IT TO  LOOK AT MODELING SOMETHING  SIMILAR TO THE COUNTY. IT IT  IN PERHAPS A DIFFERENT  REALITY. THAT'S CERTAINLY NOT  OUTSIDE PARAMETERS  REASONABLENESS. I I WOULD URGE  I AM. GREATLY PLEASED THAT  THERE'S GOING TO BE MEETING TO  DISCUSS AND LEARN MORE ABOUT  FROM REFERENDUM. MAJORITY OF  THE SPORT REALLY DO. HAVE NOT  BEEN BRIEFED DO NOT UNDERSTAND  IT REALLY HAVE NOT HAD THE  OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE IN  SUFFOLK DISCUSSION REGARDING  IT I WOULD FALL ICE AND I  THINK IT'S RIGHT THAT YOU GUYS  HEAR IT FROM MEMBER OF OUR  STAFF WELL WERE FIRST ON THIS.  TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I TRULY  BELIEVE IT REPRESENTS OPTION.  TO LOOK AT. I SUPPOSE TO THAT  STANDARD MODELING THAT THE  COUNTY HAS REMEMBER WHERE ARE  FACING THE REALITY. OUR  CITIZENS ARE VERY COMFORTABLE  AND HAPPENED CITIES EXCEPTION  BASICALLY WITH ABLE TO APPROVE  EVERY DOLLAR. THIS CITY FOR  US.  THE FACT THAT. THAT HAMSTRING  JUST THE FACT THAT THAT MAKES  IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. REALLY  FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE  SOMEWHAT IRRELEVANT. HAVE THAT  CONTROL. AND SO IN APPROACHING  THIS ISSUE I THINK IT'S  IMPORTANT THAT WE BABY STEP IT  AND THAT. THAT TRUST CAN BE  BUILT OVER TIME AND PERMISSIVE  REFERENDUMS CAN ALLOW THAT BY  NOT. ASKING THEM TO RELINQUISH  CONTROL. BUT AT THE SAME TIME  CREATING SOME FLEXIBILITY. IF  THERE'S PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR  PARTICULAR PROJECTS ARE  BORING. MORE THAN THAT'S NOT  WORTH GOING INTO BECAUSE YOU  GUYS NEED TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK  ON IT AND WE NEED TO AS A  BOARD TO OUR WORK. I THINK  IT'S UP TO ABOUT DELIGHTED  THAT THIS IS NOT TO BE A  NOVEMBER ISSUE BECAUSE IT'S  WAY TOO PREMATURE. YOU KNOW,  MAYBE. 26 BUT IT GIVES PLENTY  OF TIME TO FIGURE THIS OUT  BECAUSE OUR CITIZENS. HOLD  DEARLY. TO THEIR RIGHT TO  CONTROL THE PURSE STRINGS.  MUCH TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE  CITY IT I HAVE TO SAY IT AND I  KNOW THAT FOR MANY IN THE  PUBLIC THEY LOVE IT. THEY  BELIEVE IN IT THEY DON'T WANT  TO EVER GIVEN OUT, BUT IT PUTS  SUCH AN ONEROUS BURDEN ON THE  LEADERSHIP OF THE CITY TO BE  ABLE TO OPERATE PROPERLY. AND  IT COSTS US MONEY TAX DOLLARS  AND IT COSTS US TIME. AND I  THINK THAT LOOKING AT THIS  ALTERNATIVE. 80 OF FERRY. NOT  ACCEPTABLE BUT MAY BE UP MORE  AMENABLE. MIDDLE STEP AND SO I  URGE TO. LEARN WHAT YOU CAN  ABOUT. MISTER LINE.  >> BUT THEN KIND OF BOUNCING  ALL PLACE ON TIME OKAY WITH I  SO CONCUR WITH. VICE MAYOR'S  COMMENTS SO I DON'T HAVE ANY  NEED REPAY THEM. DOW  >> GLAD TO HEAR THAT THIS IS  NOT GOING TO BE ON NOVEMBER'S  REFERENDUM. IF THE FOCUS IS ON  PD THE FOCUS SHOULD BE MPD IN  IT LIKE I SAID AT MEETING  THAT'S GOING TO MUDDY THE  WATERS. GLAD THAT THIS IS NOT  TO BE ON NOVEMBER FOR THAT  CHARTER REFERENDUM. SO WE CAN  FOCUS ON. PRIORITIES. LOOK  FORWARD TO THAT CONVERSATION.  >> DID YOU SAY END OF THIS  MONTH ANYTHING.  ♪ ♪ >> OKAY NEXT ONE IS DISCUSSION  AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING  AMENDING SECTION 2.0 ONE OF  THE CITY CHARTER REGARDING  FORM OF GOVERNMENT AND  COMPOSITION WHO WANTS TO.  >> THAT WAS HAHA SO ALL OF  THAT MIGHT PUT THIS IS THE  FIRST TIME EVER LIVE IN A  PLACE WHERE WE DIDN'T HAVE A  STRONG THERE. YOU KNOW AN  ELECTED POSITION. I'VE NEVER  HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO  MISTER FLETCHER BUT IN SOME  WAYS THE WHAT VIEWERS IS  ACTING AS A MAYOR. AND HIS  ACTIONS AND I THINK THAT. IT'S  WORTHY OF A DISCUSSION OF THE  GROUP AND WE DID IT WE HAVE  NOT SUE THIS AT ALL. I JUST  WANT TO GET OUT AS A  DISCUSSION TO SAY. SHOULD THE  CITY MOVE TOWARDS A MAYOR AND  THEN DEPARTMENT OR  COMMISSION'S REPORT I CAME  FROM A TOWN IN BOLINGBROOK WE  HAVE VERY STRONG THERE. HE  THINK THE RECALL COMMISSIONERS  I CAN'T REMEMBER BUT HE HAD 5  OR 6 PEOPLE WHO REPRESENTED  VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS THAT  REPRESENTED POLICE FIRE. I  DON'T THINK SO I JUST WANT  OPPORTUNITY FOR THE GROUP TO  DISCUSS. WITH THAT THERE WAS  AN INTEREST PURSUING IT  FURTHER TALK ABOUT IT. NOW  THAT MIGHT PUT ALL THROUGHOUT  OUT. SO MAYBE APPROVING US  TALKING ABOUT IT. IT'S NOT IN  YOUR BEST INTEREST BUT IT'S  IT'S SOMETHING I THINK THAT IS  WORTHY OF A DISCUSSION. I JUST  HAD A QUESTION THAT WHAT WHAT  PROMPTED.  >> THAT THIS.  >> WE THIS COME UP.  HIS OF ME.  >> IT'S JUST MY VIEW OF THE  CITY AND PLACES YOU KNOW AND.  IT'S JUST IT'S A FORM OF  GOVERNMENT. I'M COMFORTABLE  WITH. SO SO IT'S NOT THAT I'M  UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THIS  ARRANGEMENT. BUT A MORE  COMFORTABLE WITH. LIKE I SAID  ROGER AND I WAS WITH THE MAYOR  OF MY FORMER TOWN WE'RE GOOD  FRIENDS HE WAS A VERY GOOD  MAYOR. AND THE CITY PROPER. HE  DIDN'T HAVE THE RESTRICTIONS  THAT THIS GROUP WITH LETTING  THE PEOPLE DICTATE HOW MUCH  HOW MUCH MONEY YOU CAN SPEND.  AND IT WORKED OUT WELL, BUT  THAT ALSO MEANS GETTING THE  RIGHT PERSON IN THAT POSITION.  YEAH THAT.  >> I THINK WHY IT STRONG MAYOR  POSITION WITH AN APPROPRIATE  SALARY. YOU GET VERY SLIGHT  CANDIDATES FOR THAT THEN IT'S  UP TO THE ELECTORATE TO  DECIDE. THERE WAS NO DECISION  MADE BY THIS GROUP AS TOO.  WHETHER DOING OR NOT TO  RECOMMEND CHARTER CHANGE WE DO  I JUST WANT TO GET IT ON THE  TABLE FOR SOME FOR US TO TALK  ABOUT ALL RIGHT. THANK AND YOU  KNOW NORTH PORT AND THROWN  THEIR ARMS ARE PORT. CITY DID  HAVE A STRONG MAYOR TO RIDE IN  THAT POINT. SO I DON'T KNOW  ALL THIS THERE IS A REASON WHY  IT'S PEOPLE VOTED. THEY HAVE.  >> IS FORM OF YES.  >> YEAH, BUT JUST IT WAS  REASON THE VALUJET IS A LOT OF  DON'T INFORM HIM OUTSIDE YOUR  MEETING. BECAUSE THIS IS YOUR  VOTING ISSUE THAT'S WE KNOW  THE SUNSHINE AS YOU DO TRENT  MAYOR THAT WOULDN'T HERE  >> YOU KNOW YOU HAVE PROBABLY  THE NEWEST COMMISSIONER ON  THIS OR YOU KNOW I TRIED TO DO  MY OWN WORK BEFORE AND TRY TO  UNDERSTAND THIS FORM A  GOVERNMENT AND. THE VAST  MAJORITY OF MUNICIPALITY,  CITIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE.  OUR FORM OF GOVERNMENT WE MAY  GOVERNMENT IT'S A COMMISSION  SLASH. MANAGEMENT EYE OF  GOVERNMENT. AND IT WORKS  EXTREMELY WELL IN MOST CITIES.  STRONG MAYOR. HE ONLY NEED TO  LOOK TO CERTAIN PLACES LIKE  NEW YORK AND A NUMBER OF OTHER  CITIES AROUND THIS SEASON  HAPPENED THANK YOU HAVE AN  EXTREMELY STRONG MAYOR WHO'S  ABLE TO GARNER A POPULAR.  >> SUPPORT AND SURROUND HIM OR  HERSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE  LIKE-MINDED AND IT'S A RECIPE  IN MY OPINION FOR DISASTER.  THIS IS A GREAT FORM A  GOVERNMENT BECAUSE. THE  COMMISSION HIRES. THEY  CONSIDER TO BE A PROFESSIONAL  MANAGER. WE HAVE ALMOST 900  PROBABLY OVER 900 NOW. WORKERS  IN THIS CITY EMPLOYEES OF THE  CITY SINCE 8. IN A PURSE IN IN  A MANNER OF SPEAKING AGE YOU  ORGANIZATION HAS TO BE RUN. IN  VERY PROFESSIONAL MANNER.  WHICH I DON'T BELIEVE THE  AVERAGE ELECTED OFFICIAL  AROUND THIS COUNTRY IN ANY  VENUE HAS THE CAPABILITY OR  TALENT TO DO PERSONALLY I MEAN  ALL MY CORPORATE EXPERIENCE  AND ALL MY BUSINESS  EXPERIENCE. I DON'T KNOW THAT  I CAN THOSE SHOES ON AND SO  WHEN YOU HIRE A PROFESSIONAL  AND THEN THAT PROFESSIONAL AND  TURNS FIRES. A TEAM OF  PROFESSIONALS TO RUN THEIR  DEPARTMENTS, ONE ONLY NEEDS TO  LOOK AT HIGH CALIBER OF  EXPERTISE WE HAVE IN THE CITY  NOW THAT DOESN'T MEAN  COMMISSION ALWAYS AGREES WITH  THE PUBLIC ALWAYS AGREES THAT  PROPOSITION AND EVERY PROPOSAL  BUT. IT CREATES A LEVEL  PROFESSIONALISM AND EXPERTISE  THAT ALLOWS THE CITY OF OUR  SIZE WITH A QUARTER OF BILLION  DOLLARS WORTH TAX DOLLARS. YOU  KNOW IT GIVES ME SOME COMFORT  THAT WE'VE GOT A PROFESSIONAL  GROUP RUNNING AND WE'VE GOT  ELECTED OFFICIALS REPRESENT.  THE CITIZENS. WATCHING OVER  THOSE DOLLARS AND HELPING TO  DIRECT WHERE THEY GET SPENT.  AND TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL A  LITTLE BIT THE REINS IT IS A  GREAT BALANCE SYSTEM. REALLY  DOES I THINK WORK WELL AND  ESPECIALLY IN AN ENVIRONMENT  GROWING CITY LIKE A SQUARE WE  WERE PRETTY MUCH A BEDROOM  COMMUNITY AND NOW GROWN INTO  SMALL SIDE CITY. I MEAN IF YOU  DON'T HAVE TO REALLY LOOK BACK  INTO HISTORY TO SEE. AND THIS  NOT TO BE DISPARAGING BUT THAT  BUT THE EDUCATIONAL LEVELS AND  THE EXPERIENCE LEVELS OF  PEOPLE WHO STEPPED UP TO  REPRESENT OUR CITY. AND CAME  ON THIS COMMISSION TRYING TO  DO THE BEST THEY COULD FOR THE  CITIZENS WITHOUT ALL.  MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION. IT  WILL BE REAL TOUGH FOR THOSE  PEOPLE. WHAT MADE SOME OF THE  DECISIONS THAT NEED TO BE MADE  UP ALL THOSE DECISIONS PART  WORK GREAT DECISIONS, BUT BUT  YOU SEE WHERE I'M AT AND SO I  REALLY I AM SO SUPPORTIVE OF  THIS FORM A GOVERNMENT. I I AM  SOMEONE WE USE IN THE SYSTEM  AND WORKING WITHIN THE SYSTEM.  BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IN  CENTRALIZED AUTHORITY AND  POWER IN ANY ONE PERSON AND I  THINK THAT'S DANGER TO DO I  THINK IT'S TOO EASY FOR FOR  YOU KNOW THE ONE OR 2 GREAT  LEADERS. TO OVERWHELMED BY A  MYRIAD OF MEDIOCRE AND SPECIAL  INTERESTS LEADERS AND WE ONLY  NEED TO LOOK AROUND AT THE  STATE LEVEL AND THE FEDERAL  LEVEL TO SEE THAT EVERYWHERE  WE LOOK SO FRANKLY I THINK  THIS IS THE GREATEST FORM A  GOVERNMENT AND WE'RE NOT  PERFECT. BUT WE SHOULD BE AT  ANYTHING ELSE THAT'S OUT THERE  IN MY OPINION. SO FOX ALL  RIGHT THAT I'M SURE  SHIRLINGTON.  >> THE PROBLEM THAT SAY ALL  THE TIME BECAUSE WE SORT OF  HAVE A MIND MELD EVERYTHING HE  SAID AND AND I'LL PROBABLY SAY  IT A LITTLE MORE ONE WAY. WHEN  YOU PUT DECISION-MAKING AND  POWER IN THE HANDS OF  POLITICIANS, THEY TEND TO MAKE  POLITICAL DECISIONS. WHEN YOU  HAVE A PROFESSIONAL CITY  MANAGER AND A PROFESSIONAL  STAFF.  >> THEY.  >> MORE OFTEN THAN NOT COME AT  IT FROM WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO  EXECUTE OR IMPLEMENT SOMETHING  WHAT'S GOING TO BE THE BEST  AND MOST EFFICIENT WAY OF  DOING SOMETHING AND NOT BEING  INFLUENCED BY POLITICAL  PRESSURE.  >> SO I AGREE I.  >> I REALLY LIKE OUR OF  GOVERNMENT I GREW UP IN THE  CITY OF BOSTON. DO I REALLY  NEED TO SAY ANY MORE STRONG  MAYOR TO COUNCIL WITH  GEOGRAPHIC REPRESENTATIONS SO  A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM HAVING  A COMMISSIONER OVER POLICE AND  THEN OPENED FIRE. AND IT CAN  WORK WELL. IT'S FRAUGHT WITH.  SO I MEAN I WOULDN'T WANT WORK  ON THAT. BUT BUT I THINK PART  OF THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE.  WHEN. WHEN DO YOU KNOW WHEN A  MUNICIPALITY IS READY FOR THAT  KIND OF MOVE. IF EVER I WHAT  KIND OF.  >> BENCHMARKS DO YOU NEED TO  SEE. DO WE NEED A CERTAIN  LEVEL RESIDENT PARTICIPATION  AND THINGS DO WE NEED TO SAY I  MEAN IT.  >> IF WE HAD.  >> FOLKS CLAMORING FOR OUR  JOBS. IT'S NOT A JOB BUT IF WE  HAD PEOPLE LINED UP TO RUNNING  FOR POSITIONS, MAYBE THAT'S  WHEN YOU START LOOKING AT A  STRONG MAYOR, BUT BUT AT THIS.  >> AND IT'S AT THIS JUNCTURE  IN OUR CITY'S HISTORY. I DON'T  WANT TO SAY APATHY. BUT BUT  THE REALITY OF PEOPLE'S  SITUATIONS IS THAT THEY'RE  JUST NOT HIGHLY ENGAGED. AND  THE GOVERNMENT PROCESS AND I  THINK THEY NEED A CERTAIN  LEVEL OF YOU KNOW IF I WERE  LOOKING BENCHMARKS. TO BE ABLE  TO SAY OK MAYBE WE'RE REALLY  READY TO ENTERTAIN THAT FORM  OF GOVERNMENT THAT WOULD BE  ONE OF THEM. I MEAN I WOULD  WANT TO SEE A VERY HIGH  PARTICIPATION AND RUNNING FOR  OFFICE. AND RESIDENT  PARTICIPATION ON I'M ALWAYS  AMAZED AT. YOU KNOW WE HAVE  OUR BUDGET MEETINGS THAT'S  CRICKET TEAM HERE. I MEAN THE  MOST IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS  WE HAVE AROUND BUDGET AND NEW  PEOPLE ON HERE. TO GIVE US  FEEDBACK ON THAT SO I DON'T  KNOW I'M I'M I'M NOT A  GOVERNMENT PERSON. THAT THAT'S  SORT MY I THINK WE'RE WORKING  REALLY REALLY WELL AS CITY. I  THINK WE HAVE GOOD DIVERSITY  ON THIS BOARD AND THAT'S  WORKING WELL. BUT THOSE ARE  JUST SOME OF MY CONCERN  ENTERTAINING A STRONG MAYOR  FORM OF GOVERNMENT AT THIS  PARTICULAR POINT IN TIME. BUT  BUT I'D BE OPEN TO THE  CONVERSATION. COMMISSIONER  NOW. I WOULD TO THE  CONVERSATION. I COME FROM  CHICAGO. AS I YOU'RE FROM  CHICAGO AND YOU SAID  BOLINGBROOK WHICH IS A SUBURB  OF CHICAGO.  >> THERE'S A DIFFERENT  BOLINGBROOK I WAS CHICAGO  THAT.  >> I DON'T NEED TO TELL  ANYBODY SITTING UP HERE HOW  WELL THEY'RE STRONG MAYOR FORM  OF GOVERNMENT IS WORKING.  >> LACK THEREOF ALL RIGHT WHEN  YOU GIVE ONE PERSON THAT MUCH  POWER AND THAT MUCH AUTHORITY  YOU ARE GOING TO GET  EVERYTHING YOU IT. AND THAT  SHOULD BE THE END OF THAT  DISCUSSION. PART OF THE  PROBLEM IS. WHEN PEOPLE COME  FROM OTHER PLACES. ALL WE HAD  A MAYOR. WELL MAYOR STRONG  MAYOR. MAKES ALL THE  DECISIONS. AND THE COUNCIL IF  THERE IS ONE SOMETIMES THERE  ISN'T EVEN THAT THERE'S  THERE'S NO REPRESENTATION.  THEY COME TO NORTH PORT MAY  HERE. WE HAVE A MAYOR. I WAS  MAYOR. YOU WERE MAYOR YOU ARE  MAYOR YOU'RE GOING TO BE AT  SOME POINT. HERE WE HAVE A  MAYOR AND THEY THINK THE MAYOR  MAKES ALL THOSE DECISIONS  THAT'S NOT HOW OUR GOVERNMENT  WORKS. WE USED TO BEING CALLED  CHAIR. THE MAYOR USED TO BE  CALLED THE CHAIR. THE CHAIR  DOES EXACTLY WHAT THIS MAYOR  CEREMONIAL MEETINGS USE THE  GAVEL SIGNS OF DOCUMENTS.  FIGUREHEAD FOR THE GREET SOME  OF THE CITY. MAKES  THE SPEECHES. IF ANYTHING. I  WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY FAVOR OF  GOING BACK TO CHAIR. YOU WANT  TO KNOW WHY THAT CHANGE TO  MAYOR. BECAUSE A MAYOR. CHAIR  WANTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE  FLORIDA LEAGUE OF MAYORS, BUT  COULDN'T BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T  HAVE THE TITLE OF MAYOR. SO WE  PUT IT OUT FOR A REFERENDUM TO  CHANGE IT TO MAYOR. EVERYBODY  I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE PEOPLE  THAT VOTED YES, BUT IT PASSED.  BUT THEY ALL THOUGHT THAT WE  HAD A LIKE WHAT EVERYBODY  THINKS OF A MAYOR FROM THESE  LARGE CITIES SO THE MAYOR OF  CHICAGO, THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK  THE MAYOR BUST IN THE MIRROR.  IT RELIES DID NOT CHANGE A  DARN THING OF THEIR  RESPONSIBILITIES. SO WOOD  ABSOLUTELY BE WELCOME TO THE  CONVERSATION OF GOING BACK TO  CHAIR LIKE THEY DO WITH THAT  COUNTY. IT'S CHAIR OF THE  MEETING THE CHAIR IS THE  PERSON WHO'S IN CHARGE OF THE  MEETINGS. I NEED THE DOCUMENTS  AND BE IN THE FIGUREHEAD  MAKING THE LITTLE SPEECHES.  BECAUSE THAT WOULD ALLEVIATE  SO MANY CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS  OUT THERE. THE IMPRESSIONS  THAT EVERYBODY HAS. IT'S NOT  THAT KIND OF MAYOR WE SPEND  MORE TIME THAT FIRST WHEN WE  HAVE A CHANGING OF THE MAYOR  BECAUSE IT'S ONLY FOR ONE  YEAR. EXPLAINING WHAT THE  MAYOR US. BECAUSE EVERYBODY  BRINGS THOSE PRECONCEIVED  NOTIONS DOWN AND APPLIES IT  HERE. SO I WOULD BE MORE IN  FAVOR OF GOING BACK TO CALLING  IT A CHAIR. COURSE IT WOULD  HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE VOTERS  BECAUSE THAT THEN REMOVES. ALL  OF UNINTENDED BURBAGE THAT'S  ASSOCIATED WITH MAYOR. THERE  ARE MANY MANY CITIES THAT HAVE  TARIFFS. WHAT A CHAIR WELL NOW  WE GET TO EXPLAIN WHAT A CHAIR  CHAIR RUNS THE MEETINGS. 85%  OF THE CITIES IN FLORIDA ARE  COMMISSION CITY MANAGER FORM  OF GOVERNMENT, 85. ALL RIGHT  IT WAS ONE CITY THAT HAD THE  MAYOR. AND IT WAS A SMALLER  CITY. THEY HAD ALL THE POWER  TO DO EVERYTHING AND THAT CITY  THEN CHANGE TO CITY MANAGER  COMMISSION FORM A GOVERNMENT.  TO REMOVE ONE PERSON FROM HAVE  IF THEY THINK IT'S BAD HAVING  5 PEOPLE IN CONTROL OF THE  CITY. IMAGINE A LIKE HAVING  ONE. IT JUST DOESN'T WORK. 10%  OF THE CITIES IN FLORIDA HAVE  STRONG MARRIAGE. AND THOSE ARE  USUALLY THE LARGER CITIES.  TAMPA JACKSONVILLE, MIAMI.  TALLAHASSEE HAS STRONG THERE.  AND THERE'S ONLY ABOUT 5% THAT  ARE KIND OF A HYBRID. DON'T  EVEN ASK ME WHAT THAT HYBRID  LOOKS LIKE BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A  SMALL NUMBER OF THE 11 CITIES  A NURSE IN OUR STATE. I WOULD  NOT BE IN FAVOR OF LOOKING AT  BECOMING A STRONG MAYOR BEEN  THERE DONE THAT DON'T WANT TO  DO IT AGAIN. YES, I JUST  WANTED TO.  >> TO SAY I I THAT THE ISSUES  AND. WHEN I MOVED HERE.  >> I WANT THE POPULATION IN  MIND. I'M LIKE 20,000 BEST AND  THAT MAY BE 70 THINGS ISSUES  HAVE GOTTEN SO COMPLEX  >> KHAN POLLUTED THAT WE NEED  TO HAVE PEOPLE IN PLACE THAT  AND AND FIGURE OUT A PLAN AND  THAT'S BE ON SOMEONE WHO JUST  GETS ELECTED TO OH YES, I'LL  I'LL DO THAT NOW FIGURE OUT  BUDGET I MEAN IT'S JUST EVEN  GOING OVER THE BUDGET TODAY.

CITY MANAGER  THIS IS WAR. YOU KNOW. THANK  YOU MADAM MAYOR. YOU ALL VOTE.  >> COMMISSIONERS WE'RE.  >> THIS IS THE FIRST  CONVERSATION THAT WE'RE HAVING  ABOUT THE UPCOMING BUDGET  COMPOSITE FOR FISCAL YEAR 25.  I THINK WE'VE TALKED A LOT  FISCAL YEAR, 24 OF THE NEEDS  AND THE PROCESS GOT TO WHERE  WE ARE RIGHT NOW IN THE  PROCESS KNOWING THAT EVERYONE  IS HURTING SO FROM SOMETHING  SOMEWHERE POINTS ARE  TREMENDOUS FOR OUR RESIDENTS  FOR EMPLOYEES OR IT FILLING  THE PITCH LOOK SOMETHING  SOMEWHERE OF A LOT OF OUR  CONVERSATION RIGHT NOW  GENERATING AROUND OUR NEW P  HEADQUARTERS WE FIGURE OUT  THAT PATHWAY IT AS ASIAN OR  MAY HAVE IMPLICATIONS ON RATE  OF OUR RESIDENTS. SO IN THIS  CONVERSATION WE WILL DISCUSS  WHAT THAT MEANS ON THE OTHER  SIDE OF THE COIN SPEAK. SO  THAT WE CAN KNOW AND  UNDERSTAND HOW THEY AFFECT  EACH OTHER. AS WE BEGIN THE  PROCESS WE'RE GOING TO TALK  ABOUT. BUT RESULTS WHICH IS  WHAT WE TALK TO YOU ALL ABOUT  LAST YEAR YOU MIGHT REMEMBER  DURING THE PROCESS OF A FEW TO  PLAYING WITH AS YOU ALL RIGHT  THE YOU EAT THEM WITHIN EACH  PILLAR WHERE WE ENDED UP AT  AND THOSE RANKINGS ALL SHARE  WITH ALL REMIND WE'LL SHARE  WITH WHAT THEY WERE AS WE TALK  ABOUT HOW IN THE PATHWAY WE  DECIDE TO MAKE CUTS IN  CORRECTIONS IN THE BUDGET. BUT  THAT PROCESS WE WERE ABLE TO  SAVE ABOUT 4 MILLION DOLLARS.  BEFORE YOU SAW IT. THIS YEAR  WE'RE GOING TO SHOW IT TO YOU  WE'RE WE'RE GOING TO CUT IT  OUT OF BECAUSE IT WILL BE  NECESSARY FOR YOU TO SORT OF  TIE THAT BACK TO THE RANKINGS  YOUR PRIORITIES IN THE OUTCOME  THAT YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE. LOOK  AT IT MORE A SHOW YOU WERE  KIND OF EXERCISE THIS YEAR.  AND JUST FOR THE RECORD THAT  4 MILLION DOLLARS THAT WE GOT  OUR BUDGET FROM THE DIFFERENT  DEPARTMENTS, WE ASKED THEM TO.  LET US KNOW WHAT THEY WERE  LATER IN THE YEAR AND THAT  TIME IS NOW SEE HOW AND IF WE  CAN MAKE UP SOME OF THOSE  THINGS THAT WE CUT. THE ALWAYS  TOO DO YOUR BUDGET IT CONTROL  YOUR SPENDING AS MUCH AS YOU  CAN. BEFORE YOU COME BACK AND  ASK FOR OTHER THINGS THAT YOU  MIGHT NEED AND IT A REALLY  GOOD JOB OF BEING ABLE TO FIND  OTHER SOURCES OF.  OPPORTUNITIES BEFORE COMING  BACK TO YOU FOR BUDGET  AMENDMENT OUR CELLS PROVIDED  THE MINUTES AS WELL. THE  MAYOR'S OFFICE, BUT AS WE GET  CLOSE TO THE END OF THE YEAR  THINGS WILL JUST GET A LITTLE  BIT TIGHTER THEY BECAUSE I  THINK WILL DECIDE WHAT IS  NEEDED AND NECESSARY. IS WHAT  CAN BE. HOTEL FOR A LITTLE BIT  LONGER. SO WE ARE GOING  THROUGH THAT PROCESS RIGHT NOW  FOR THIS GREAT. IT'S CLEAR.  OK, HIS FIRST LIVE HERE IN  BALLOT FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS  FOR REVIEW, YOU WILL NOTICE  THAT THE ENDING FUND BALANCE  AND 23 TYPICALLY GOING UP IN  THE RIGHT THAT MEANS THAT THE  REVENUE COMING TOWARD THE YEAR  YEARS FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS  HAVE SUSTAINED EXPENSES THIS  IS A TREND. BUT YOU WANT IS  SHOW THAT WE ARE WITH THINGS  IN A POSITIVE MANNER. SOME OF  THESE. SOME OF THESE NUMBERS  WILL BE AFFECTED BY VARIOUS.  VARIOUS FACTORS. SUCH AS YOU  MIGHT REMEMBER THAT WE ARE  DOING THE CITY THE STRUCTURE  STUDY THAT WILL I SOME OF WHAT  WE CHART FOR USER RATES. WE DO  KNOW THAT JUST OUT OF THE SOME  WILL GO UP SO WHAT WE  RECOMMEND IT TO GO UP SO WILL  BE RECOMMENDED TO GO DOWN TO  THOSE ARE THE CHOICES THAT  WILL PUT IN FRONT OF YOU  DURING THIS BUDGET PROCESS SO  THAT YOU CAN ENSURE THAT WE  MAKING LOGICAL DATA DRIVEN  DECISIONS AS IT RELATES TO OUR  CITY, STRUCTURE. THE FUND  BALANCE ANALYSIS FOR FISCAL  YEAR. 24. WHAT THIS SHOWS IS  WHAT YOU ACTUALLY ARE  PROJECTED TO HAVE AVAILABLE  PROTECTED FOR AND OF THE  FISCAL YEAR OF SEPTEMBER. YOU  CAN SEE THAT THEY'RE OFTEN A  7.7 THAT IS THE AMOUNT AFTER  THE 20% OR RESERVES ARE A LOT  OF 4. SO IF YOU THINK OF IT IN  A WAY THAT YOU KNOW I THINK OF  IT IS YOU KNOW WE'RE LOOKING  TALKING ABOUT THE POLICE  STATION IF YOU NEEDED 2 OR  3 MILLION DOLLARS THAT WE  COULD NOT FIND IN OUR BUDGET  THIS IS WHERE YOU WOULD LOOK  KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE MONEY  SET ASIDE FOR A DISASTER  RECOVERY. IT WE TO THE WHEN  NEEDING IT AND THEY ARE  CALLING FOR YEAR THAN USUAL  HURRICANE THIS YEAR. SO WE ALL  NEED TO BE PREPARED AND KNOW  THAT THAT IS REALISTIC  POSSIBILITY THAT WE COULD GO  THROUGH THAT AGAIN KNOWING  WHAT WE WENT THROUGH INCLUDING  WHAT YOU SEE FROM VOTING  PHRASE WHEN YOU SEE THERE  NEGATIVE ELLIS NEGATIVE  15 MILLION. AND DIRECTLY  ATTRIBUTED TO THE MONEY THAT  WE'RE STILL LOOKING TO RECOVER  FROM THE GOAL OF THE CITY IS  ALWAYS TO BE PREPARED. IN CASE  ANOTHER NATURAL DISASTER  STRIKES RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN THE  BEST POSITION WE CAN AS  POSSIBLE BUT. I WILL TELL  EXACTLY THE IMPACT OF  HAPPENED. A THAT A LOT  ASSUMPTIONS ARE THAT THE  TAXABLE VALUE WHEN INCREASE OF  7 APP OR SIT. THIS IS MORE IN  ALIGNMENT WITH A NORMAL  PERCENTAGE RATE OVER THE  YEARS. YOU MIGHT REMEMBER THAT  OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS THE  NUMBER 2 YEARS AGO THE NUMBER  WAS I WANT TO SAY 21% BUT IT  WAS IT WAS REALLY HIGH AND  THEN THE MARKET IS SORT OF WHO  LAST YEAR THIS SORT  NORMALIZING CLOSER US BY THE  NUMBER THIS YEAR OVER NUMBER  WILL BE HIGHER WE CAN USE IT  TO OFFSET SOME OF THE EXPENSES  THAT WE HAVE IT. WE WILL HAVE  TO WORKAROUND WHATEVER THE  TRUE NUMBER BELIEVED GET THAT  NUMBER AND TO ME.  >> MAY JULY.  >> FIRST NUMBER WILL COME IN  TAKE YOU FOR WILL COME IN END  OF MAY THE REAL DOUBLE COME IN  JULY 1ST. SO WE HAVE A WHILE  BEFORE WE GET SOME NUMBERS  THAT WE HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD  BY MAKING SOME ASSUMPTIONS.  COLLECTION RATE OF 96.5% FOR  THE BUDGET REVENUE IS IS  PRETTY TYPICAL THE MIDDLE OF  THEM OUT THAT WE HAVE A 3.7 6,  6, 7, IT STAYS THAT WAY WILL  BRING IN ADDITIONAL 2 POINT  3 MILLION DOLLARS TO OFFSET  SOME OF IT'S BEEN SINCE WE'RE  GOING TO DISCUSS AS WELL. NEXT  SLIDE HERE WE TALK ABOUT THE  LOCAL MUNICIPALITY, THE COUNTY  AND THE EFFECT OF MILLAGE RATE  PER 1000. THIS SORT OF SHOWS  OUR COMPARISON ALL ABOUT IT  COMMITS AND SHOWS HOW WE  COMPARE. BUT IT LOOKS THAT 6.1  1 PLOT THAT WE ARE WE ARE  ABOUT 3RD IN LINE HERE AS WE  RELATE TO OUR PEERS. TAXABLE  IN DOLLAR AMOUNTS YOU SEE THAT  WE'RE AT A 0.5 MILLION  DOLLARS. KIND OF ON THE LOW  SIDE FOR OUR SIZE. YOU THINK  ABOUT THE SIZE THAT WE HAVE AS  A CITY COMPARED TO BUT GIVEN  THAT LONGBOAT KEY BECAUSE THEY  ARE. IT WILL IN MY OPINION MY  WORDS. BUT THEN YOU HAVE WE  HAVE MORE POPULATION THEN THE  CITY OF SARASOTA AND THEY ARE  TWICE AS MUCH AS WE ARE  TAXABLE SO WE'RE ALWAYS TRYING  TO PROVE THAT TAXABLE VALUE SO  THAT WE CAN GO HIGHER BECAUSE  THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD THE AT  CITY OF OUR SIZE DEVELOPMENT  THAT YOU SEE IN THE GROWTH  THAT WE TALK ABOUT THAT'S  DIRECT THE TRIBUTE TO  CONVERSATION ARE TAXABLE VALUE  INCREASES. WHEN WE LOOK AT  THIS BATTLE GOING IN 2023  TAXABLE VALUE SEE THERE ARE  8.5 MILLION. HOW IT COMPARES  TO ONLY THE OTHER  MUNICIPALITIES AND WE ARE.  SECOND IN LINE BEHIND FROM THE  CITY OF SARASOTA. CHART SO  THEY PER CAPITA REVENUE AS  BASED ON THE FACT OF YOU WOULD  SEE THAT WE ARE AT $601. WELL  THOSE 3.33 WE'VE MENTIONED  THIS SITUATION EARLIER YOU  MENTIONED TO SARASOTA WHICH IS  WHERE WE WOULD LIKE TO CLIMB  TO BE 1464, BUT YOU'LL NOTICE  THAT WE ARE AT THE LOWEST ON  THIS AS IT RELATES TO OUR PER  CAPITA REVENUE THIS THAT'S  BASED ON OUR SIZE NOT SORT OF  KEEPING UP WITH THE REVENUES  THAT WE NEED TO ANYTHING ABOUT  THE CONVERSATION THAT WE FROM  THE 8% OF A CRUCIAL THEY WERE  AT TO THE 20 TO 25% THAT WE  NEED THIS SHOW YOU THE STARK  CONTRAST OF WHERE WE ARE IS  WHERE WE FIND GO. SO ALL FUNDS  OF WHAT WE'VE INCLUDED IN OUR  BUDGET BEGINNING CONVERSATION  YOU LOVE THE FACTOR OF 3 AND A  HALF PERCENT SALARY. BOTH OF  PERSONNEL. WE WILL TALK ABOUT  THE LOW PERSONNEL REQUESTING  IT. IT COMES YOUR WAY YOU KNOW  A LITTLE BIT BUT THAT IS  DIRECTLY TIED BECAUSE A  PERSONAL COST A LOT OF PLACES  ARE OUR MOST EXPENSIVE COST.  THROUGHOUT THE CITY. KNOWING  THAT THIS COMMISSION HAS GRAY  GRANTED THE POSITION THAT  WE'VE ASKED FOR THE LAST 2  YEARS. AND I WOULD LIKE TO  POINT OUT, YOU KNOW ONE OF  THOSE WITH PUBLIC SAFETY AND  POLICE BASED ON THE  CONSULTANT'S STUDY THEY GAVE  US. THE NUMBER THEY NEED TO  GET TO OVER THE COURSE OF TIME  THEY DID RECEIVE A GRANT THIS  YEAR THAT KATE FUNDING FOR 10  OFFICERS WHICH THAT WILL NOT  BE IN YOUR BUDGET REQUEST SO  WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR THAT GREAT  SCENE OF THE PDT FOR AGAIN  ALWAYS TRY AND FIGURE OUT WAYS  SAVE THE CITY MONEY. THE  CONTRACT FOR THE PDA AND ARE  BEING NEGOTIATED RIGHT NOW IS  BY ALL ACCOUNTS, EVERYTHING IS  GOING WELL, ESPECIALLY WITH A  POLICE TO ITS OWN. ON FIRST  BASE AND THAT IS GOING WELL  BASED ON YOUR ACTIONS THAT YOU  BEFORE LAST YEAR IN ORDER TO  RIGHT-SIZE THEIR SALARIES TO  KEEP THOUGH COMPETITIVE MARKET  TO MAKE SURE THAT TRAIN PEOPLE  FOR THEM TO LEAVE. SO WE  BELIEVE THAT THAT CONTRIBUTES  NOT ONLY IN 2 THE BUT IT'S A  LITTLE WELL-BEING OF OUR  OFFICERS BUT ALSO THEIR MENTAL  STATE AS WELL KNOWING THAT THE  CITY CARES ABOUT THEM IN WAYS  THAT IS MORE LONG TERM THE  SHORT TERM. BUT THE SAME IS  NON EU EMPLOYEES. THEY ARE  STILL WORKING THROUGH THAT  PROCESS THERE'S BILL DECISIONS  TO BE MADE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF  THAT PROCESS BASED ON THE  INCLUSION OF EMPLOYEES. WE  HAVE SAID OR NOT SAID THEY  WOULD BE A PART OF THAT. THE  SALARY GROWTH OF 2 AND A HALF  PERCENT FOR COST OF LIVING  ADJUSTMENT 44 LEVEL OF FEDERAL  EMPLOYEES. IT'S SOMETHING THAT  IS VERY CONSISTENT WHAT WE'VE  OVER THE PAST WE ALL BLEED  UNDERSTAND THAT THE ECONOMY  WHILE IT IS IMPROVING. IF YOU  REMEMBER LAST YEAR TO A  SIMILAR CONVERSATION LIKE THIS  THAT WE TALKED ABOUT A FEW OF  THE RECESSION. IT GLAD THAT  DIDN'T COME TO TAKE PLACE BUT  KNOWING THAT IT DIDN'T TAKE  PLACE. WE WERE QUARTERLY AND  THIS YEAR. WE WILL HAVE TO  PLAN AND BUDGET ACCORDINGLY  FOR THE FACTORS OF WHAT WE'RE  DEALING WITH A NATIONWIDE AS  WELL. A COFFEE BACK SHE WOULD  CAP A PROJECT'S ONGOING  STAFFING OPERATING COST WAS  MAKING CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT  WE HAVE ON OUR LIST BELIEVE  THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A  IT'S CHALLENGING TIME LOOKING  AT SOME OF THOSE FIGURING OUT  HOW DO WE. ORGANIZING A WAY  THAT'S AN ALIGNMENT WITH YOUR  PRIORITIES AND MAKE SURE  THEY'RE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT  YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH. THE  POLICE STATION IN TOP OF MIND  KNOWING THAT IT WAS IN THERE  IN OUR CIP BUT AS FUNDED  PROJECT KNOWING WHAT GOING  THROUGH NOW WE THAT WOULD HAVE  TO FUND IT AT CERTAIN A  CERTAIN TIME THAT GOES BACK TO  THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'RE  HAPPY WITH THE PUBLIC NOW IS  YOU AS A BOARD NOW IN ORDER TO  FIGURE OUT WHERE CAN THE  DIFFERENT FUNDING  OPPORTUNITIES, LOT WORK. SOME  OF THE MORE IMPORTANT PROJECTS  THAT ARE. THAT WE'RE DEALING  WITH. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DEW  POINT CHANGE BETWEEN 45 OF THE  MERIT INCREASES ARE ESTIMATED  TO BE ONE POINT 8 MILLION  DOLLARS THIS THE TO BE ON  ADJUSTMENT IS WHAT ABOUT  REASON HEALTH INSURANCE. I'VE  THAN $80,000 OPERATING COUGH.  INCREASE NEARLY 2 MILLION  DOLLARS WHICH. THE 0.4 MILLION  DOLLARS WHICH 3 MILLION  DOLLARS SHORTER THE ESTIMATED  INCREASE SO DO THAT SO WILL  YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE A PROBLEM  SOLVED FOR.  I BELIEVE THAT WE'RE GOING TO  THAT PROBLEM WE HAVE OFFICE IT  PROBABLY A COUPLE OF WAYS. A  WAY IF WE'RE GOING LOOK AT THE  EYE ORTIZ AND HOW YOU WAIT BUT  THEN THEMSELVES OUR PLAYER  WITH THE THOMAS OUT TO  PLANNER. WE'RE GOING TO PUT UP  AT THE END OF THE SLY WE'RE  GOING TO PUT THOSE RANKINGS UP  JUST TO REMIND YOU HOW YOU  RANK BUILDING WHERE THEY WERE  AND WHAT WOULD BE OUR STRATEGY  FOR LOOKING AT THE FROM THE  BOTTOM UP IN ORDER TO MAKE  SURE THAT WE REMAIN INTACT.  THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS YOU  OF THE BOARD SAID DURING THAT  PROCESS. WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR  DOT BUDGET OF THIS YEAR ABOUT  COLORS. NO NO SURPRISE THAT  HOUR INFRASTRUCTURE.  FACILITIES IS 40% OF THAT  BUDGET BECAUSE WE HAVE TO  MAINTAIN OUR ASSETS AS WE GO  FORWARD IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO  BECAUSE OF THE ONLY THE  PERSONNEL BUT THE PROCESS IS  THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE TO MAKE  SURE THAT WE REMAIN A  COMMUNITY FOR PEOPLE. YOU WANT  TO RESIDE IF WE IF WE LOSE  THAT I THINK A LOT OF  DIFFERENT COME INTO  CONSEQUENCES ARE. YOU PUT ON  THE SHOULDERS OF THE CITY OF  NEWPORT NONE OF WHICH ARE.  FAVORABLE I'M A GOOD  GOVERNMENT. AS WE TALK ABOUT  ENSURING THAT YOU I DO THE  RIGHT PEOPLE THE RIGHT PLACES  BUT RIGHT INTO HER BEFORE OR  PROCESSES TO SURE THAT WE ARE  IN COMPLIANCE O'CONNELL FOR  BUT INTO THE CITY OF WORK.  WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE THAT  BUDGET BIPOLAR FOR THE DUAL  WHICH IS THE MAIN FUND THAT  WOULD LOOK AT AS A CITY OR THE  MAJORITY OF OUR SPIT EXPENSES  THAT WE CONTROL THE WHICH IS  SUPPORTED BY PROPERTY TAXES  WILL CEASE A COMMUNITY, A 61%  OF THAT. THAT IS A DIRECT  EXAMPLE OF MONEY WE'RE ABOUT  TALK ABOUT KEEPING OUR  COMMUNITIES SAFE. ALSO SEE I  WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT HERE  SOME OF THESE THE QUALITY OF  LIFE IS 11%. THE GOVERNOR 21%.  ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND  GROWTH MANAGE THAT WHICH IS 4%  SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE ME A  RECENT PRIORITY RECENT  BUDGETS. WE'RE SURE THAT THAT  STAFFING IS. QUALITY TO HELP  THE GROWTH CONTINUE THE GROWTH  THAT WE'RE EXPERIENCING AS  WELL AS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE  TALK ABOUT. 15 SOME OF THE  BURDEN OFF OF OUR RESIDENTS IN  2. THE BUSINESS. THIS IS WE  APPROACH IT BY MAKING SURE  THAT THAT'S A HIGHER PRIORITY.  IT HAS BEEN IN THE PAST. SO  SOME OF THE CONSIDERATIONS  THAT I TALKED ABOUT EITHER  PUBLICLY OR PRIVATELY ARE ON  THIS SLIDE. NEW EMPLOYEE YOU  PLAY BECAUSE WE HAD LAST YEAR  INCLUDED PUBLIC SAFETY AS WELL  OR LITTLE SPRINGS AND WANTS  THOSE WERE REMOVED BOARD DOWN  TO 7 POSITIONS OR WOULD FOR HR  THAT WERE DESPERATELY NEEDED.  WE BELIEVE THAT WE WILL NEED  TO GO EVEN LOWER THIS JUST  BASED EVERYTHING THAT WE  TALKED ABOUT POLICE FLORIDA BE  LOWER. WHAT WE DO OR LITTLE  SPRINGS, BUT AS IT TURNED OUT  BASED ON WHAT HAPPENED OR  SPRINGS. WE ALREADY HAVE THOSE  PEOPLE POSITIONS IN PLACE AND  NOW WE'RE PUTTING THOSE PEOPLE  ARE IN PLACE AS WE CONTINUE TO  OPERATE THE 18 TO 20 ACRES  WHERE THE LAKERS SO WE'RE GLAD  THAT WE HAVE WE'RE GLAD THAT  THE PARTS OF LAX THEY DO A  GREAT JOB OF MANAGING THE  SITUATION IS NOT TYPICALLY  MANAGED BY LOCAL SO APPLAUD  THEM FOR THEIR EFFORTS. IF WE  MOVE FORWARD IN THAT PROCESS  WHICH AS YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN TO  TAKE DIFFERENT IDEAS IN THE  DOOR IS WIDE OPEN FOR PEOPLE  TO COME AND SAY THEY HAVE A  PLAN FOR RAINS. WE ARE MEETING  WITH SOME STATE  REPRESENTATIVES IN THE  UPCOMING WEEKS A MEETING WITH  A COUPLE OF LOCAL PEOPLE WHO  HAVE THE FUNDING FINANCIAL  BACKGROUND TOO. WHAT THEY  BELIEVE PLAYED AN IMPACT IN  THE FUTURE OR LITTLE  SPRINKLES. THAT'S EXCITING  WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR EVERYONE  WHO IS WE SO WE'RE MAKING SURE  THAT WE HELP EITHER IT'S FOR.  OR EXPLORE WITH THEM. WHAT  THEY ARE LOOKING TO PUT IN  FRONT OF YOU AS A VIABLE  OPTION FUTURE. IT REALLY GREAT  ISRAELIS I'VE BEEN SAYING THAT  THIS IS BEEN NEEDED FOR YEARS  NOW WE'VE KEPT MISREAD THE  SAME FOR 4 YEARS NOW.  >> I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS GOING  TO BE THE RAINS THIS INCREASE  BASED ON WHAT WE KNOW FROM OUR  POLICE CONVERSATION. IF THE  POLICE CONVERSATION HAPPENS IN  THE WAY THAT BOTH RIGHT NOW  WITH 35 MILLION DOLLARS  FOLLOWED WHAT PROVED TO BE  BORROWED BY THE VOTERS. THEN  THAT WILL 3 IMPACT IN. I DO  BELIEVE THERE'S ANY WAY THAT I  CAN SIT HERE GOOD FAITH IN  FRONT OF YOU AND SAY WELL NOW  WE NEED OPERATE RATE  >> THAT WOULD NOT BE A WISE  WILL IT SITUATION THAT IS  NEEDED.  >> I'M NOT GOING TO SAY THE  NEED IS NOT HERE BUT WE HAVE  TO MAKE OTHER CHOICES NOT FEEL  LIKE WE WE ARE MAKING A CHOICE  HEALTH WHEREAS OPPOSED TO WE  DON'T WE SIT HERE AND THAT  GOES BACK TO THE PRIORITIES  THAT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT IN  THE RANKINGS AWAY WHERE DO WE  WANT TO. BUT OUR FUNDING BUT  THAT IS. CONSIDERATION  RECOMMENDATION. ENTERPRISE  RESOURCE PLANNING SYSTEM THE  WE TALKED ABOUT THAT BRIEFLY  BUT IT IS A HIGHLY COSTLY TO  OUR CURRENT INTERNAL FRAMEWORK  OF OPERATIONS IS VERY OLD. IT  NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT THIS IS  THE PROCESS THAT IS DONE  EVERY. DECADE OR SO THAT LEAVE  HONORS IS. OPERATING MULTIPLE  THE CASE OF H IT WE'RE NOT  MAXIMIZING OUR EFFICIENCY BY  HAVING THE SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE  IN PLACE. SO AS WE CONTINUE TO  GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS COST  WILL ARISE. I'M PROBABLY AT  THE BEGINNING OF THIS PROCESS  AS IT IS ABLE TO YOUR PROCESS.  WE'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE THE  INITIAL CAUSE AS WE GO THROUGH  THE SUMMER THAT AS OUR TEAM  CONTINUES EXPORT IDEALLY WE  WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ENOUGH  MONEY HIS CURRENT YEAR OF  REVENUE SO THAT WE CAN ENSURE.  SO THAT WE DO WE DO. ASK FOR  EVEN MORE THAN WHAT WE HERE  THAT FOR 20 OR 25 REPORTED  PROFIT YEAR. MAY NOT KNOW. I  DON'T KNOW KNOW THAT  INFORMATION BUT WE KNOW IT  YOU'LL KNOW IT WILL PUT  SOMETHING IN OUR BUDGET  PROBABLY FOR NEXT YEAR EITHER  AS PLACE FOR SOMETHING THAT  DEFINE IT FOR THIS SPECIFIC  BUT IT IS GOING TO BE  EXPENSIVE IS GOING TO BE TIME  WITH IT. BUT IT'S ALSO HURTING  US SIR. WE TALK ABOUT  HEADQUARTERED JUST A LITTLE  BIT AND WE TALKED ABOUT THE  IPO THE SURTAX WE HAVE THING  THAT WE PROPOSE WE AS A  REMINDER WE DID PROPOSE A  50 MILLION DOLLAR USE OF THE  SURTAX WE DO NOT RECOMMEND IT  GOING ANY BASED ON ALL THE  REVENUE IS COLLECTED COLLECTED  THAT WILL ALLOW US TO  PERFORM WELL PROCESS OF USING  IT TO BORROW A POOR  HEADQUARTERS. WE DISCUSS AND  TALK ABOUT YOUR ABILITY OR  AUTHORITY TO REAR BASES  PROJECTS WE'RE GOING INTO  DEEPER DIVES INTO THE CITIZEN  TAX OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE IS  DIRECTLY LINKED TO THE SURTAX  THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET THEM  TOGETHER SO THAT THEY CAN  PROVIDE I WOULD SAY SOME PEAS  AS YOU GO FORWARD MEETING THE  SET UP FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS  FOR YOU TO TALK TO THE TABLE  BOARD WHICH WE'VE HEARD FROM  THE WORLD AND THEIR CONCERNS.  I'VE BEEN TALKING TO SOME OF  THE OTHER AND OUR FINANCING OF  THE TALKING SOME OF THE OTHER  MUNICIPALITIES NOT ONLY  CONFIRMING YOU KNOW THAT THEY  DO THE SAME THING THAT WE ALL  DO SHIFT THE PRIORITIES AS THE  NEEDS HAPPEN. BUT JUST TO MAKE  SURE THAT YOU'RE DOCUMENTING  IT IN THE PROPER WAY TO THE  DOOR OF HOWEVER OVERALL THE WE  HAD A CASE FOR TAX DOLLARS  WHEN AND WHERE IS NEEDED WHICH  IS YOUR CHOICE THE COMMISSION.  THE REASON RQ GREAT. IT WAS  SUCH A PROGRAM THE THE. THE  ISLAND FOR DUE TO THE AND  YESTERDAY WE QUITE A FEW ITEMS  BASED ON OUR CONVERSATIONS  WITH WORK WHICH WILL RICH.  HEADQUARTERS THAT THIS WAS A  VERY EXTENSIVE. THE POT OF  GOING SO BE IT SO WE WILL NOT  GET EVERYTHING THAT WE  SUBMITTED, BUT WE BELIEVE THAT  WE HAVE A VERY GOOD POSITION  TO RECEIVE AS MUCH AS WE CAN  WE HAVE A GREAT LEVEL OF  SUPPORT FROM THE COUNTY AND I  BELIEVE THE ARMY SAYS THE  DESIRES OF THAT PARTICULAR  GRANT. I DO BELIEVE AT SOME  POINT TIME ONCE THEY GET TO  THE PHASE OF OURS OUR  RESIDENTS HAVING TO APPLY FOR.  THEY'RE REALLY WE ARE GOING TO  HAVE TO HELP THOSE I REALLY DO  BELIEVE THAT. I MEAN THAT  THEY'RE GOING TO BE PEOPLE WHO  ARE NOT LISTENING TODAY NOT  AWARE WHEN THAT OPPORTUNITY  COMES SO MY MIND I SEE IS  GOING ON THE COMMUNITY LAPTOPS  AND HELPING PEOPLE REGISTER ON  THE SPOT. MAYBE A MOLE, BUT OR  WHEN WE SET UP SOMEWHERE WHERE  THEY CAN COME US FIRST, BUT  THE MALL. MY POINT IS I  BELIEVE THAT WE'VE GOT TO HELP  OUR COMMUNITY TAKE ADVANTAGE  OF THIS WE DO NOT TAKE  ADVANTAGE OF THIS AS THE  HARDEST HIT AREA IN THIS  PARTICULAR PARTICULAR COUNTY  OF THIS PARTICULAR STATE. THEY  WILL GIVE THIS MONEY SOME  WORLD THEY ARE NOT GOING TO  GET THIS MONEY BACK TO THE  FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.  IT'S YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO  MAKE SURE OUR PEOPLE TAKE  ADVANTAGE OF IT BECAUSE I DO  BELIEVE THEY SHOULD GET AS  MUCH AS THE REBUILDING WE HAVE  TAKEN FUNDS AS POSSIBLE.  FINANCIAL SUPPORT COMMUNITY  PROJECTS. THESE PROJECTS ARE  LOOKING VERY GOOD THE SPARTANS  EVEN I'M NOT FROM PLACES CITY  OF GULFPORT YOU MIGHT REMEMBER  THAT YOU DID AS A BOARD AS A  CITY CONTRIBUTE TO THE STRAIN  IS LIBRARY THAT WAS BUILT OVER  IN ST. SEE SOCAL TECHNICAL  COLLEGE IN THIS WOULD BE A  VERY SIMILAR ASK IF IT GETS TO  YOU. FOR THESE PROJECTS, THE  YMCA TO GET THERE WAS $500,000  WERE WORKING WITH NOT ONLY OUR  FRIENDS AT THE COUNTY FOR  THEIR SUPPORT. BUT WE'RE ALSO  WORKING WITH OUR LOBBY TO THE  STATE LEVEL FOR ITS SUPPORT WE  TALKED TO HALEY DID SEE  YESTERDAY YOU ALL SAW IN THAT  THE LEGISLATIVE ACTION DAYS.  HE'S OUT THERE AS ALWAYS DO A  GREAT JOB POUNDING THE  PAVEMENT. I WAS MADE AWARE  THAT THE YMCA IN ARCADIA  YESTERDAY WITH ABC $500,000.  STATE LEVEL TO ONE THE SAME  REPRESENTATIVE THAT WE GO  THROUGH IN ORDER TO GET  FUNDING SO I FEEL VERY GOOD AT  THAT THE WHICH WILL HAVE NOT  ONLY. CHILD THEY IT BUT  PROGRAMMING FOR ARE DUE FOR  CITY AS WELL. SOME COAST  TECHNICAL COLLEGE EXPANSION.  THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO UP  FUNDING FROM THE SCHOOL SYSTEM  IN THE OUT YOU SEE EARLY YEARS  WE'VE ACTUALLY GOT A DONATION  COMMITMENT FROM ESTIMATE TO  PARTICIPATE IN THAT EXPANSION.  WELL WE ARE REACHING OUT TO  THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY TO MAKE  SURE THAT YOU'RE AWARE OF THE  NEED AND WE WILL KEEP YOU  UPDATED TO DO AS TO HOW THEIR  FUNDING IS GOING IN THE AMOUNT  OF THE WHAT THEY HAVE VERSUS  WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO SPIN.  BUT IT IS GOING WELL AT THIS  POINT. BEFORE WE GET THE  QUESTIONS WE'RE GOING TO JUMP  TO FOR THE TAKING SHOW YOUR  RANKINGS AS A REMINDER WHAT  YOU SAID WAS IMPORTANT TO YOU  AND GET YOUR GUIDANCE AS WE  BEGIN THE PROCESS. SO MUCH.  WITH WE AND YOU LOOK AT TOP 3  DIDN'T YOU RIGHT HERE TO  PROVIDE THIS FACT IS THAT  FACILITIES WHICH IS VERY. VERY  TIMELY CONSIDERING THAT WE  JUST TALKED ABOUT THE COP  GREAT THAT FACILITIES JUST TOO  OF POLICE HEADQUARTERS THAT  WE'RE TALKING ABOUT  MAINTAINING OUR LOAD PRIME WE  DID JUST THE CITY COME OUT, I  THINK IT WAS CAUGHT. THAT  SHOWED THAT WE WERE AND THE  TOP 7 OF SAFE AND AFFORDABLE  CITIES TO LIVE IN THE COUNTRY.  WAR DATA AND INFORMATION  CONTINUES TO COME OUT TO  SUPPORT TO MAINTAIN OUR  POSITION DURING A HIGH. PHASE  OF GROWTH. IT WILL BE VERY  EASY FOR THIS TO GET IF WE LET  IT AND I WAS I ALWAYS SURE  THAT WE KEEP OUR ARMS ARE WE  ABOUT TO AROUND IT. AND WITH  PROVIDE FOR 50 ABOUT CITIZENS  TOO. IT'S CATIONS AND I  RESPECT HIM PROGRAMS. WE ARE  GRATEFUL THAT IOC WAS ABLE TO  BE TAKEN CARE OF IT KID OUR  CONVERSATIONS ABOUT 11 OR  12 MILLION DOLLARS. WITHOUT  THAT HAVING IMPACT INCREASE AS  WELL SO AGAIN THOSE ARE THE  TOP 3 THAT IT WAS A POOR TO  MAKE SURE THAT WE BRING YOU A  BUDGET THAT REFLECTS THOSE AS  IMPACTED. THE TOP 3 IN THE  QUALITY OF LIFE ALERT FOR  THINK HEARD THE AVAILABILITY  OF A CULTURAL MUSIC IT TO  PUBLIC AT UP FOR THAT WE  OFFER. WE DO HAVE A GREAT OF A  GREAT AMOUNT OF OUR PARTS  AVAILABLE. THEY'VE RECOVERED.  WELL THROUGH THE HURRICANE  DISASTER. WE STILL ARE WORKING  ON THE PARKS RECS MAINTENANCE  LOCATION OVER AT DALLAS WHITE  PARK TO CONTINUE. WE  THROUGHOUT THIS SCHOOL YEAR.  THE FOOTPRINT THERE STILL  SCHEDULED TO. TO HAPPEN THAT  IS ON A TEMPORARY BASIS. BUT  WE BELIEVE THAT OUR PARKS ARE  AVAILABLE AS IT SAYS WITH THE  STAFF THAT OUR PART TO  DIRECTOR THE AVAILABILITY OF  DIFFERENT OPTIONS I'VE SEEN  SOME DIFFERENT PROGRAMMING  OPTIONS COME A BIT. THE  DIVERSITY OF THOSE OPTIONS ARE  HELPING OUR COMMUNITY. THEY  WITH THE SUPPORT COMMUNITY  EFFORTS THAT PROMOTE THE  NATURAL KAKAR HIT THE IDENTITY  OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. BILL  COMMUNITY COHESIVE THIS IN A  BETTER. IT'S A PLACE FOR  REPORT. WE CONTINUE TO HAVE OF  EVENTS THAT OUR COMMUNITY  WASHINGTON, IT'S THAT GIFT  PEOPLE A SENSE OF I'M HEARING  A LOT OF A LOT OF GOOD  FEEDBACK ON WHAT PEOPLE DID  NOT KNOW WERE AVAILABLE IN THE  CITY OF NORTH PORT AS WE MAKE  AVAILABLE IT'S A LEARNING  CURVE AND THEY ARE THAT THEY  HAVE TO PARTICIPATE. AND THE  LAST 4TH SUPPORT MI FOR  EXPANDED AMENITIES ARE  RESOURCED IN COST SAVINGS TO  CREATE PARTNERSHIPS AND  NONPROFITS WE HE WE CAN DO  BEATING THE DRUM OF THE CITY  OF NORTH PORT IN ITS  PARTNERSHIPS WITH NONPROFITS.  IF WE CAN DO BETTER I THINK WE  SHOULD BE BETTER I THINK THAT  WE HAVE TO IT ALWAYS TAKE  ADVANTAGE OPPORTUNITIES IN ARE  NONPROFITS YOU KNOW ARE PARTS  OUR COMMUNITY PART OF OUR  IMPORTANT. IT'S IMPORTANT FOR  US TO BE THERE WHEN THEY NEED  US IS ALSO IMPORTANT BUT THEN  TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE  COMMUNITY PARTNER NOT A  COMMUNITY PUNCHING BACK. SO WE  WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE  THAT WE WORK WITH ALL OF THEM  TO LET THEM KNOW THAT WE CAN'T  SOLVE EVERY PROBABLY DESIGNED  THAT WAY, BUT WE CAN'T HAVE AN  IMPORTANT IMPACT JUST ABOUT  YOU PROBLEM ABOUT BEING THE  SOLE ANSWER FOR EVERY PROBLEM.  WHAT WOULD YOU GO TO WORLD  LITTLE AND WE TALKED ABOUT  WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT  PROGRAMS, THE PARTNERSHIP WITH  A LOCAL AND NOT NOT FOR PROFIT  ORGANIZATIONS. WHAT ARE THE  THINGS THAT WE ARE WORKING  ONLINE RIGHT NOW AND OUR  ABILITY TO WORK WITH. RESOURCE  THE HOSTING OF. YOU THINK  PROVING THAT WORK THAT YOU  REPORT BASED PROGRAM PARTNER  WITH THE SCHOOLS TOO ENSURING  THAT WE PROVIDE A CONDUIT FOR  WORK PROGRAM OR BOTH WERE IN  HIGH SCHOOL WILL NOT WANT TO  LEVEL OF HIGHER EDUCATION BUT  STILL FIND A PERFECT PATHWAY.  IN OUR. WE'RE ALSO WORKING  WITH THE SEC AS I MENTIONED  EARLIER IN SHOW THAT THE  HOSPITALS AND HEALTH CARE IN  THIS COMMUNITY WE WILL HAVE  THE ABILITY TO HOPEFULLY  TRANSITIONING THEM FROM  WORKING FROM THE SEC TO  ESTIMATE CA IN OUR COMMUNITY.  THOSE JOBS AS WELL AS THE  AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO BE ABLE  TO THERE FOR THOSE JOBS ARE  VERY IMPORTANT. YOU ONLY SEE  IN THE COVID IS BEING  REWRITTEN OPEN UP MORE  OPPORTUNITIES FOR THAT TO BE  SUCCESSFUL. ALL OF THIS SORT  OF TIES TOGETHER AS FIGHT TO  MAKE SURE THAT OUR HE  CONTINUES ON THE CORRECT  TRAJECTORY. 31 IN THIS  CATEGORY WITH DEVELOP AND  IMPROVE SERIES OF ECONOMIC  DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AND  POLICIES. PEOPLE WANT TO COME  HERE PEOPLE WANT TO BE HERE  BUT THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT OUR  ABILITY TO HELP EASE THAT  PATHWAY IS NECESSARY ANYTHING  WE CAN DO WHAT WE ARE DOING IS  APPRECIATED OUR FRIENDS AT THE  ATC NOT FRIENDS OF THE ALWAYS  HELPFUL IN TRYING TO MAKE SURE  THAT THE RIGHT BUSINESS KIDS  HERE WE EVEN HAVE. DEVELOPERS  HELP WITH THE GAP SO WHAT WE  NEED HERE AS FAR AS WHETHER  THIS IS A TEAM THAT WHETHER  IT'S A BETTER DIVERSITY TO  KNOT WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE  THAT EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THE  DOOR IS OPEN OR OUR CONTINUED  BENEFIT OF OUR ECONOMIC  DEVELOPMENT GROWTH. I WOULD  BUY A IT THE IN ADDITION TO  THE NATURAL RESOURCE DIVISION  WHICH HAS IF THE GROUND  RUNNING WITH SEVERAL PUBLIC.  OPPORTUNITY OF INCLUSION HERE  THEY'RE WORKING ON THE PUBLIC  IS THE PLAN THEY HAVE BEEN. SO  WAIT AS FAR AS LISTENING TO  THE VOICE OF THOSE WHO HAVE  ANY LONGER AND DEEPER SCARS  THAN THEY DO AND THEY KNOW A  LOT MORE ABOUT SO IN THE  HISTORY OF WHAT WHAT ROLE TO  HELP THEIR IT'S HAD BEEN  GREATLY APPRECIATED AND LOVE  IMAGE YOU KNOW LOVE THEIR  LEADERSHIP, I'M GLAD THAT THEY  ARE IMPACT OF THE COMMUNITY  FOR PRIORITIES THAT WILL PUT  PROGRAM SO OPERATIONS SHOULD  BE THE ROLE THAT MADE HER  CAUSE OF A QUALITY TESTING  EVERY CYCLE PRACTICES. THESE  GO STRAIGHT TO THE HEART OF  YOU TO UTILITIES DEPARTMENT AS  WELL AS OUR.  DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, MAKE  SURE THAT WE IN BODY. THESE  PARTICULAR VALUES AS WE DO OUR  DAY TODAY. SUPPORT ENVIRONMENT  ON WITH THE THROUGH THE  FEASIBILITY OF EMPLOYMENT IN  PORT. IT WILL BE MANNING WHERE  WE ARE LOOKING INTO THAT NOT  BELIEVE WE HAVE THAT PERSON ON  BOARD YET.

I BELIEVE THAT WE'RE DOING  WE'RE VERY HAPPY THAT OUR  CODES AND ORDINANCES,  INCLUDING THE ONE THAT YOU  WILL ADOPT A ABC ARE IN  ALIGNMENT WITH THIS VALUE THAT  YOU HAVE SAID IS IMPORTANT TO  YOU. THOUGHT SOME OF THE THAT  EVERY TOP 3 ARE ARE ACTIVELY.  BE ABLE TO TO WORK WITH JOSEPH  TO STORE WATER. CONVEYANCES WE  TALKED ABOUT THIS AS NOT ONLY  DO WE HAVE THE BUDGET TO DO  ONE OR 2 IN OUR BUDGET FOR  THIS YEAR, BUT THE ONES THAT  WE GET FROM THE SRQ ARE GOING  TO HELP US OUT EVEN AFTER THAT  WE STILL KNOW THAT THERE WILL  BE MORE THAT ARE NEEDED SO WE  TALK ABOUT THE THE BORROWING  AUTHORITY FOR THIS CITY. A LOT  OF IT SHOULD WE SHOULD BE  CONSIDERED FOR THE  INFRASTRUCTURE AND I WORK  STRUCTURES THAT WE KNOW ARE  AGING. WE WOULD WE WOULD MUCH  PREFER TO. THEY TAKING PREPARE  AND OR REPLACE THEM BEFORE  THEY GET TO A POINT AGING OUT  HAWLEY TOLD THAT WE WANT TO  AVOID ARE WE ROADWAYS BRIDGES  AND ADDRESS SOLO PORT. ROADS  AGREE THAT A B PLUS RIGHT NOW  OVERALL IS THAT IS SOMETHING  THAT WE SHOULD ALL THE VERY  PROBLEM OF THERE ARE A LOT OF  JURISDICTIONS THAT ARE NOT  CLOSE PROXIMITY THAT YOU  ROADWAYS DOLLARS. WE HAVE BEEN  ABLE TO MAINTAIN THAT BY  PUTTING MONEY INTO OUR A ROAD  WE HAVE EACH AND EVERY YEAR WE  WILL CONTINUE THAT YOU KNOW  THAT WE'RE ADDRESSING PRICE  BOULEVARD WHICH IS ONE OF THE  MAIN ROADWAYS THAT WE'VE  TALKED ABOUT RECENT MEMORY  EVEN WITH THE CONSIDERATION OF  THE 50 MILLION DOLLARS SURTAX  NO EFFECT 0 EFFECT ON PRICE  BOULEVARD WINDING PHASE ONE  WHICH IS UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW  HAS ALREADY BEEN A LOT OF FOR  IT WILL BE COMPLETE OVER NEXT  YEAR SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED  ABOUT PRICE BOULEVARD COMING  OFF OF THE TO DO LIST TO BE ON  COMPLETED WITH CONNECTIVITY OF  THE CITY'S TRANSPORTATION  SYSTEM WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING  FOR WAYS THAT WE HAVE A FEW  IDEAS ABOUT HOW TO OPEN UP A  FEW DIFFERENT. HAVE A NEWS IN  THIS CITY, WE KNOW THAT WHEN  HURRICANES BAD IS IT HAPPENED  IN THE CITY WE NEED TO AVOID.  J OWNS IS FRUSTRATION FOR  FEEDING SITUATION HALF OF OUR.  RESIDENTS AS MUCH WE CAN I  THINK IT'S LONG OVERDUE THAT  WE HAVE MORE EAST TO WEST AS  YOU BETTER PRIORITY. SO THAT  WE CAN IMPROVE IT. CUSTOMER  EXPERIENCE THROUGHOUT THE TOO  GOT TO GET THROUGH OUR. GOOD  GOVERNANCE TOP 3 BY COMEY AND  MODERN A LOT OF ADVANCES WILL  IT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THIS  YOU THINK DIRECTLY ABOUT ERP  THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER  THAT'S EXIT. THIS IS EXACTLY  TIED TO THAT THAT WOULD  IMPROVE FINANCES AND HR SAYS  IT WILL BE ABLE COMMUNICATE  BETTER WITH THE NEW ACELA  SYSTEM THAT'S COMING INTO OUR  DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND  PLANNING. WE WANT ALL OF OUR  NEW TECHNOLOGY TO BE ABLE TO  TALK TO EACH OTHER THROUGH THE  WORST THING YOU CAN HAVE AS  THE SYSTEM OF INTERFACE WITH  THEY HAVE TO SORT OF FEED OFF  OF STAYING INFORMATION TO  CREATE AN ECONOMY OF SCALE.  WE'RE USING MULTIPLE SYSTEMS  TO HAVE A MULTIPLIER EFFECT  AND TO BE MORE VALUABLE THAN  JUST PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.  SECOND WOULD MAXIMIZE OUTSIDE  RESOURCES. A SUPPORTING PART  OF SOMETHING GREAT IT IS. I  LOVE OUR I THINK THEY DO A  PHENOMENAL JOB I MILES AS HE  HELPS OUT WITH OUR STATE  PARTNERS ARE DOING A  PHENOMENAL JOB. WE JUST GOT TO  KEEP GOING WE JUST HAVE TO  KEEP ASKING. I TOLD OUR. OUR  LOBBYIST YESTERDAY AFTERNOON  FELT LIKE I HAD MY CAN NOT  BEGIN FOR THE ENTIRE 30 MINUTE  CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD THAT  AND IT TRULY BECAUSE WE'RE  CHILLY ASKING FOR A LOT IN. I  WANT TO KNOW THAT IT'S A  PROBLEM OR IS THAT A LOT  EVERYONE ASKING FOR A LOT  WE'RE NOT SPECIAL AND THAT'S  THAT'S WHAT IT DOES IT.  DOESN'T HURT EITHER SO WILL  ASK FOR EVERYTHING IT WILL GET  WHAT WE GET IT WE'LL TAKE IT  WILL MAKE THE BEST OF IT  GRATEFUL TO MOVE BUT IT IS IT  IS A PRIORITY AS IT IS TO YOU  AS IT IS AND LASTLY THERE  PROVIDE MULTI-YEAR BUT IT'S  THAT SO EXPENSIVE THAT WILL  INCREASE OVER WHAT TWO-YEAR  PERIOD. WE ARE GOING TO GIVE  YOU THAT SHOW YOU THAT  TRAJECTORY IN SHOW WITH IT  BEING SO THAT HOPEFULLY THAT  YOU CAN SEE DECISIONS THAT YOU  MAKE THIS YEAR WILL HAVE LONG.  LONG-TERM I'D HAVE SAID NOT  KEEP SAYING THIS YEAR THAT  WE'RE IN BASED ON EVERYTHING  IS ON THE PLATE IS THE MOST  IMPORTANT YEAR IN THE HISTORY  OF THE CITY FOR MULTIPLE  REASONS THAT I THINK THAT WE  ARE WE ARE WE ARE STEPPING UP  TO THE PLATE RIGHT NOW WE'RE  NOT EVEN HALFWAY FINISHED, BUT  WE WILL GET THROUGH SOME OF  THE TOUGH CHALLENGES IN  CHOICES THAT YOU GUYS HAVE ALL  THE DAILY BASES IT. WE EVEN  GIVE ME THE RIGHT INFORMATION  TO GREAT DECISIONS IF YOU'RE  NOT GETTING PLEASE. IT'S NO WE  WILL GET MORE AND MORE THAT'S  WHERE WE'RE AT I KNOW IT'S A  LOT YOU HAVE LOT OF QUESTION  OR INPUT, WE LOOK FORWARD TO  HEARING IT IN. WELCOME TO THE  VOTING PROCESS OK SURE THAT'S  IT.  >> I LET ME TELL AS A OF THAT.  >> AND DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS  YOU WANT OR COMMISSIONER  QUESTION WE'RE HERE TO ALL  RIGHT IF KNOW SOMETHING ELSE  WAS TO BE AT THEIR ICE THERE.  >> THEY'RE HAVING YOU WANT TO  HANDLE THIS PROCESS YOU WANT  GIVE US A. LIKE 10 MINUTES  EACH SURE ROUND LIKE QUESTION  AT A TIME I MEAN OBVIOUSLY ALL  OF WRITING QUITE A NUMBER OF  QUESTIONS SO I  >> YEAH I THOUGHT AT LEAST GET  IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION  PARTICULAR OBVIOUSLY TOPIC. WE  HAVE  >> WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT WE  HAVE FURTHER QUESTIONS ON THAT  SAME TOPIC WHILE OVERALL NEVER  BEFORE IN THE LAW TO SOMETHING  COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AND THEN  WE'LL GO LIKE YOU SAID ROUND  ROBIN.  >> IF A QUESTION FROM A  DIFFERENT COMMISSIONER AND  THEN WE HAVE A QUESTION OF THE  TIME. WELL JUST YEAH JUST A I  LIKE THAT APPROACH,  >> BUT IT REQUIRE DISCIPLINE  NOT ALL OF OUR PART TO NOT SO  DIGRESS BUT TO STAY ON TOPIC  CAME OUT TO MY BACKSIDE I LIKE  THAT OKAY. VICE MAYOR.  >> I WOULD I WOULD MOST  PRESSING. QUESTION FIRST. MOST  DIFFICULT ONES. I KNOW BETTER  HANDLE FIRST. GET THEM OUT OF  THE WAY.  >> I GUESS FIRST QUESTION IS.  >> AT WHAT POINT WILL WE BE  ABLE TO SEE ALMOST TWO-YEAR  BUDGET SNAPSHOT. GIVE US AN  PROJECTIONS. NOT JUST FOR THIS  YEAR'S BUDGET. BUT OVER THE  NEXT 5 YEARS LIKE BACK HOME  EARLY IN THE PROCESS, MIDDLE  OF THE PROCESS AFTER THE  BUDGETS OVER OR.  >> TO YOU SEE HOW LOW THEY  WOULD THINK IT'S GOING TO  SHOULD EARLIER TOO LITTLE IT  CAN BE AFTER OVER. IT IS A  PROJECTION BASED ON WHAT WE  KNOW AT THIS TIME OF COURSE  THE STICK TO I THINK THE BIG  THING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE  WHEN YOU SEE THAT SECTION IS  YOU'RE GOING GET OUR EXPENSES  ARE NOT NOT IN LINE WITH OUR  REVENUES.  IF WE DO NOT HAVE ANY INCREASE  REVENUE SOURCE WE'RE GOING TO  HAVE COUNT THE NUMBER ME  UNABLE OVERCOME, YOU KNOW THAT  CAN COME IN MULTIPLE WAYS, THE  COMMERCIAL IN THE GROWTH RATE  FOR GROWTH IS THE PRIMARY WAY  THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO GROW OUR  REVENUE STREAMS. WE BELIEVE  THAT THE IMPACT OF THE EFFORTS  OF OUR TOOLS SHOULD BE REALIZE  THAT WILL BE REALIZED AS WE  CONTINUE ON THAT PATH. WAIT  FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WITH  THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT  GROWTH IS IS JUST NOT  OVERNIGHT PROCESS TAKES A  WHILE AS WE GROW WE SEE THAT  YOU HAVE OPPORTUNITIES FRONT  OF YOU WHERE YOU ARE IMPROVING  SITUATION WHERE THE  PRESIDENTIAL MIX USED A  COMMERCIAL. THOSE ONES THAT  YOU'RE APPROVING IN THE DESIRE  TO SAY WILL ALL OF THAT MORE  THAT SHOULD BE COMMERCIAL IT.  IT ESTIMATES THAT IT'S NOT  ONLY WHAT YOU WANT AS A BOARD  OR WHAT ADVOCATE NEEDS AS IT  DOES THAT ENTER. I THINK THIS  CITY HAS HAD. ATTITUDE IN THE  PAST OF WELL I DO GET WHAT I  WANT THAT WE'RE DOING IT.  NOTHING HAPPENS EVERY ONE OF  WHAT YOU'RE SEEING NOW IS A  DESIRE AND A MENTALITY OF  FINDING A WAY TO GET TO YES  AND IT LOOKS LIKE IN A FUND  THAT YOU'RE GIVING UP TOO MUCH  JUST TO GET YES. BUT WHAT WE  ARE DOING I WANT US TO SORT OF  OUTLINED WHERE THE POCKETS OF  GROWTH WILL UP NEXT I WOULD  LOVE TO BE ABLE TO SEE THEM ON  MAP BE ABLE TO THESE ARE THE  DIFFERENT AREAS OF DEVELOPMENT  THE NECK TO BE THERE ARE GOING  TO LEAD MOVE THAT NEEDLE FROM  8% 20%. BUT. ALL OF THAT IS TO  SAY THAT THAT'S WHAT THE  PROJECTION IS GOING TO SHOW  YOU WHEN WE I'LL TURN IT OVER  TO NOW TO SEE IF THEY THINK  ABOUT WE CAN PROVIDE THAT TO  YOU SIR.  >> WE DIDN'T HAVE THE 5 YEAR  PROJECTION FROM LAST YEAR.  >> WE WERE NOT ABLE TO UPDATE  IT THAT AT THIS POINT BECAUSE  WE HAVE THE BUDGET REQUEST IN  FROM THE PARTNERSHIP.  >> SO AS SOON AS WE CAN PUT  ALL THAT TOGETHER KNOW WHAT  THE REQUESTS ARE AND CAN HAVE  ENOUGH OF THE REVENUE  PROJECTIONS WE CAN PROVIDE. IT  WILL BE VERY PRELIMINARY AT  THAT POINT AND WE'LL UPDATE IT  AS THE DEVELOPMENT GOES ALONG.  >> I GUESS WHAT I'M ASKING IS  YOU KNOW. FROM A REVENUE  STANDPOINT, YOU KNOW. WE'VE  BEEN PROGRESSING ALONG THE  PROCESS OF. ECONOMIC  DEVELOPMENT. WE'VE GOT WELL  AND ARE EXPANDING. WE'VE GOT  THE ANDERSON SPACE TOO GOT  UNDERWAY. WE'VE GOT A NUMBER  PROJECTS HIGHER DENSITY  RESIDENTIAL GOING THERE'S ALL  THESE PROJECTS. GENERATE WE'RE  IN THE PROCESS OR WILL IN THE  NEAR FUTURE OR ITS FUTURE ARE  THE KINDS OF THINGS I'D LOVE  BE ABLE TO SEE ON A WORKSHEET  THAT SAYS SHE AND KNOWING THAT  SO LEAVING, I KNOW THEIR BUT  TO BE ABLE TO SAY WELL IM PARK  IS CONTRIBUTING. THESE KINDS  REVENUE STREAMS OVER THE NEXT  5 YEARS ANDERSEN'S EXPANSION  PROGRAM IT'S IT'S GOING TO BE  DROPPING IN THESE KINDS OF  DOLLARS BECAUSE CITIZENS LOOK  AT THE DECISIONS WE MAKE. REAL  ICE, THE PAIN. THEY GO THROUGH  AS MAKE THESE DECISIONS IN  MANY CASES AND THEY'RE LOOKING  FOR THE END GAME WHERE THOSE  DOLLARS. HOW LONG IS IT GOING  TO TAKE AND IF ESPECIALLY IF  WE'RE GOING TO ASK AT ANY  POINT IN TIME. TO INCREASE  ANY. A MEMO OF THEIR PROPERTY  TAXES. AS A CITIZEN I WANT TO  KNOW WHAT WILL WILL OUT MONEY  THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE COMMENT  FROM THIS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT  AND THAT'S I'VE BEEN ASKING  FOR IT FOR A YEAR AND A HALF  AND I KNOW IT'S NOT EASY THING  AGAIN HARD IT IS TO PROJECT.  BUT THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO SEE  SOME HOW SOME WAY.  >> AND AS WE'RE COLLECTING NOT  ONLY THE BUDGET REQUEST FROM  THE DEPARTMENT'S THAT'S A PART  OF IT IS WELL WE'RE ALSO  WORKING WITH THEM ON BUDGET  PROJECTIONS, INCLUDING THE  REVENUE SIDE. THAT IS A JOINT  EFFORT BETWEEN FINANCE AND THE  PROGRAM AREAS SHOULD BE ABLE  TO DEVELOP THOSE PROJECTIONS.  WHAT THE REVENUE WILL BE THANK  YOU MA'AM.  >> OKAY ANY OTHER QUESTION  ABOUT THAT I HAVE SOMETHING  VERY  >> IN ADDITION CURRENT  DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS JUST TO  MAKE THE CHALLENGE EVEN MORE  INTERESTING. I THINK WE NEED  TO TARGET SOME REALLY  STRATEGIC PROJECTS. THAT ARE  IN THE EARLY STAGES OF  DEVELOPMENT. AND. ESTABLISH  SOME EXPECTATIONS AROUND THOSE  SO THE ONE THAT'S VERY TOP OF  MY MIND THESE DAYS IS THE  CONVERSATION AROUND BATTLE  LIKE. THAT'S THAT VERY CLOSE  TO THE INTERSECTION OF PRICE  AND TOLEDO BLADE. WHICH PARENT  THAT UGLY THE GEOGRAPHIC  CENTER OF CITY. OBSERVED AND I  COULD BE WRONG PLEASE CORRECT  ME IF I'M OFF BASE ON THIS BUT  THAT PROPERTY PROBABLY IS THE  LAST. PROPERTY THAT COULD  CONCEIVABLY BECOME A DOWNTOWN  AREA FROM THE CITY. AND I HAVE  REAL CONCERNS FROM WHAT I'M  HEARING ABOUT THAT PROJECT THE  THE RELATIVE RELATIONSHIP OF  HOUSING VERSUS COMMERCIAL  INDUSTRIAL IN THAT LOCATION.  IF IF WE. LOSE THAT PROPERTY.  2 RESIDENTIAL AND IT DOESN'T  DEVELOP ENOUGH TO BE TRUE  DOWNTOWN GATHERING PLACE. I  SEE THAT POTENTIALLY ONE OF  THE MOST STRATEGIC  DEVELOPMENTS ON THE BOARDS.  CURRENTLY. THAT WILL HAVE  MAJOR IMPACT. YOU KNOW THE  QUALITY OF LIFE, I MEAN I LOOK  AT QUALITY OF LIFE IS MORE  THAN PARKS. I LOOK AT AS  ECONOMIC VIBRANCY AND HAVING  GATHERING PLACES AND  ENTERTAINMENT FOR EVERYBODY UP  AND DOWN AGE SPECTRUM. AND WE  LOSE THAT THAT'LL BE A REAL  SHAME.  >> WELL I DO WHEN THEY IT WE  WILL GET YOU AN UPDATE TO SEE  WHERE WE'RE AT MAKING SURE  THAT IT WELCOME TO SITUATION  YOU JUST AND DRIVE TRISTIAN  JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT THAT  IS.  >> PUBLICLY THEY DON'T KNOW,  BUT WE'RE WORKING WITH THE  PEOPLE WHO DO OWN LETTING THEM  KNOW OUR INTENT SAYING THAT  VISION OF WHAT IT CAN BE AS WE  TALK ABOUT A WALKABLE BASED IN  THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY, YEAH.  THAT'S WHY WE ARE BEST OPTION  TO GET WHAT WE WANT. RIGHT  THERE OKAY. GOOD IDEA, SURE  ALL RIGHT THING ELSE ON THAT  AN ACT WHICH MCDOWELL YOU  HAVE. QUESTION BUT THAT YEAH.  >> YES IT SPEAKING ABOUT MAYBE  IT'S TIME CREATE OVERLAY  DISTRICT.  >> THAT'S MISSION. WE KNOW.  AND WE CLEAR DIRECTION OF WHAT  YOU ENVISION FOR AREA OVER LEE  DISTRICT STAFF AND ALL OVER  MANY DIFFERENT CITIES. MAYBE  THAT'S OPTION TOO. CHECKED IT.  I SAY THAT THE QUOTES BECAUSE  WE DON'T OWN THE PROPERTY. IT  IS AN ACTIVITY CENTER. AND I  WOULD HATE TO HAVE YOU  DEVELOPED. THAT'S RESIDENTIAL.  WHEN THAT PROPERTY OR. I TELL  FOR THE CITY ONLY DOWNTOWN.  BUT IF DON'T DO SOMETHING YOUR  DIRECTION TOO. THE CITY  MANAGER AND STAFF. THEN WE'RE  GOING TO STOP WITH WHATEVER  COMES BEFORE US REALLY IT'S  TIME STATION NEED TO START.  GOING TO COMMISSIONER STEPS  HIS POINT ABOUT THE  PROJECTIONS OVER THE NEXT 5  YEARS. SEEING ON NEWS WE ALSO  CAN YOU SAY THAT CENTRAL BANK.  LOOK BOTH SIDES OF  >> THAT'S A LITTLE AND SORRY  ABOUT REVIEWED ALL OF BUT YEAH  WE DEFINITELY HAVE TO LOOK AT  THE EXPENSES SIDE TO TO  BALANCE THAT SCALE. LOOK AT IT  IN TOTALITY SO THAT'S ALL I  WANTED TO WEIGH IN THAT  SUBJECT IN ON THAT QUESTION.  >> I JUST HAD QUESTION  COMMISSIONER MCDOWELL AND YOU  OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD. GIVE  AN EXAMPLE OF OVERLAY DISTRICT  SOMEWHERE THAT.  >> TO BE HONEST I DON'T EVER  REMEMBER SEEING OVERLAY COME  BEFORE THE COMMISSION IN THE  PAST 9 OTHER THERE THAT IF ONE  THING I BELIEVE LIKE THE CITY  OF PUNTA GORDA HAS AN OVERLAY  DISTRICTS CITY OF SARASOTA  USES OVERLAY THEY HAVE. THEY  HAVE THIS IS THE WAY OWN. THIS  IS OUR VISION. BUT THIS WILL  OR COLOR AREA. YEAH THAT  PARTICULAR AREA ITS OWN THIS  WAY THIS IS WHAT THE COMP PLAN  SAYS NOW WE CREATED OVERLAY  DISTRICT WHICH IS KIND OF LIKE  PUTTING IT TOP AND SAYING WE  WANT THIS HERE IN THAT SO  STEPH IS FAR MORE EQUIPPED TO  EXPLAIN OVERLAY DISTRICTS THAT  I AM BUT THEY DO WORK IN OTHER  MUNICIPALITIES COUNTIES USE WE  DON'T HAVE ANY HERE NOT THAT  I'M AWARE OF I DON'T I'M NOT  AWARE OF ANY STREETS. I MEAN  WE MIGHT HAVE THE. A PLAN, I'M  THE FIRST ONE THAT COMES TO  MIND IS THE MYAKKA HATCH  CORRIDOR RIGHT, BUT IT'S NOT  OVERLAY DISTRICT RIGHT NOW  ACTUALLY. PRODUCE SOMETHING  THAT LOOKING FOR YEAH LIKE  WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT I  THINK FOR PARKS, THEY USE THEM  FOR A WIDE VARIETY OF  DIFFERENT THINGS. YOU CAN'T  THERE CHANTAL POINT  OF ORDER.  >> WE MAY WELL IT AS WE GO  QUESTION BY QUESTION. IT  REALLY DOES LEND ITSELF TO  GOING OFF ON TANGENTS AND  FOUND THAT SHOULD PULL OUT  VERY NOTE DON'T GET ME WRONG  REALLY GOOD CONVERSATIONS TO  BE I DIDN'T NEED TO.  >> BUT. THE IT WERE BUDGET AND  WILL GO ALL DAY I GOT DOZEN OR  MORE FINANCIAL QUESTIONS THAT  WE REALLY NEED TO FOCUS ON TO  THAT'S IT THAT'S THE ATTENTION  YOU'RE BUT BY NO MEANS DO NOT  MISUNDERSTAND INTRIGUED BY  WHAT COMMISSIONER ALSO THESE  CONVERSATIONS ABSOLUTELY NEED  TO HAPPEN AT SOME POINT IN  TIME BUT WE'VE GOT TO REALLY  STAY ON. I JUST A FRACTION OF  WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A  PROJECTION OF OF.  >> PROPERTIES AND AND REVENUE  THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE PRODUCE  SO I THOUGHT THAT KIND FELL IN  LINE WITH THAT BUT THANKS FOR  BRINGING THAT UP JUST ALL  RIGHT AND SO WILL MOVE A  MISSION MCDOWELL.  >> YOU KNOW I HAVE I HAVE A  LOT OF KIND OF  >> THE.  >> FIRST ONE COMES TO MIND.  >> AND IT IS THE.  >> I ARM.  >> I DON'T KNOW WHAT PAGE  NUMBER IT IS ON THE POWER  POINT BUT IT SAYS THESE  ASSUMPTIONS WILL BRING IN AN  ADDITIONAL 2.3 MILLION DOLLARS  USING THE SAME MILLAGE RATE.  BUT WHEN YOU FLIP OVER TOWARDS  THE END OF THE POWER POINT. IT  SHOWS THAT. THERE IS A 5.4  MILLION DOLLARS TOTAL. AND I'M  WONDERING. THAT DOESN'T ADD  UP.  >> AND OR IS A TOTAL OF ALL  THE ITEMS I THOUGHT THEY WERE  CLOSE CALL. DRY OF ALL THE  CHANGES, OKAY THE TOP YURI A  2.3 WAS JUST THE PROPERTY TAX.  CORRECT SO.  >> CURIOUS WHERE ARE WE COMING  UP WITH ALMOST 3 MILLION  DOLLAR SHORTFALL WHERE IS THAT  COMING UP FRONT.  >> WHERE WILL IT COME IT WILL  COME OUT OF THE RANKING OF  PARTIES THAT I SAID THAT WE  WOULD HAVE TO MAKE THOSE  CHOICES. IN THE BACK TO YOU TO  SHOW YOU WHERE WE'RE GOING TO  FIND IT. AS WE GET MORE  REVENUE AND WE HAVE NO CHOICE  BUT TO CUT EXPENSES.  >> I JUST NOTICE THE  DIFFERENCE IN THE DOLLAR  AMOUNT KNOW AT COMING IN AS  USUALLY PAYS FOR THESE  INSURANCES SALARY INCREASES  NIGHT JUST SAW THE DIFFERENCE  AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT  MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS SAW  THAT WANTED TO GET BETTER  UNDERSTAND KNOW WHERE THAT  DIFFERENCE WOULD  >> IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER  QUESTION ALONG THOSE SAME AND  THAT'S LIKE I SAID MY  QUESTIONS ARE MORE PRETTY  STRAIGHTFORWARD. YEAH AND  OKAY. WELL, GET TO SOME OF  THEM. I THINK.  >> THE THANK MADAM MAYOR AND  GENERAL FUND ASSUMPTIONS I  UNDERSTAND CORRECT ME IF I'M  OFF THAT THE 7.5% IS OUR  ESTIMATE BUT WILL BE WAITING  ON THE COUNTY ASSESSOR'S  OFFICE FOR THE FINAL NUMBER.  FOR AN INTERIM AND FINAL  NUMBER I JUST WANTED TO VOICED  SOME CONCERNS ON THAT I'M  ASSUMING THIS IS BASED ON  ASSESSED VALUE.  >> ITS  >> OWN TAXABLE TAXABLE AND  TAXABLE VALUE IS BASED ON.  ASSESSED VALUE MARKET VALUE.  >> ON ASSESSED LESS EXEMPTIONS  OR THAT YOU HAVE HOMESTEAD  EXEMPTION, OKAY.  >> THAT'S WHAT I BECAUSE I  JUST HAVE SOME CONCERN THAT A  LOT OF EVIDENCE THAT SALES  PRICE IS BEGINNING TO IN THIS  AREA.  >> WHEN I LOOK AT MY OWN TRIM  NOTICES A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT  DELTA BETWEEN MY ASSESSED  VALUE AND MY ESTIMATED SALES  VALUE SO SO MAYBE I'M BEING  OVERLY WENT BENCH. BUT WE  SHOULD TIGHTEN OUR BELTS ON  THAT BECAUSE I WOULDN'T BE AT  ALL SURPRISED IF IT COMES IN  AT LESS THAN 7.5%. BUT AGAIN  YOU GUYS WATCH THAT ALL THE  TIME I DO NOT SO WHAT YOU'RE  FEELING. FOR WHAT THAT MIGHT  LOOK LIKE WHEN THE FINAL  NUMBERS COME IN.  >> ALWAYS LOOKING FOR CRYSTAL  BALL, I'M 20%.  >> YOU FOR THAT I THINK IT  BROUGHT MAY BE AT 13%. IF I'M  NOT MISTAKEN THAT. LAST YEAR  THE SUMMER'S THAT IT IS VERY  CONSERVATIVE NUMBER I THINK  THAT NUMBER COME TO THE LOWER  70'S THAT THEN WE DIFFERENT  >> IT IS OUR OPINION THAT IS  CONSERVATIVE AND AND A LOT  DIFFERENT YOU MAY BE SEEING IS  SAVE OUR HOMES, A JUST NATION  AND THAT'S WHY YOU'RE SEEING  SUCH DIFFERENCE ON YOUR  >> THANK YOU THAT'S ALL I ON  THAT TOPIC COMMISSIONER 1000  OF THE QUESTION YET ALONG THAT  TOPIC SO  >> ASSESSED VALUES IS AS OF  JANUARY 1ST OF THIS YEAR. SO  WHILE WE MAY START SEEN SOME  CHANGES IN THE ECONOMICS OF  HOMES SELL PRICING AND STUFF  LIKE THAT. THOSE ASSESSED  VALUES ARE ALREADY LIKE  BLOCKED FOR THESE DISCUSSION  POINTS IT MAY AFFECT NEXT  YEAR'S ABSOLUTELY. BUT I THINK  THOSE ASSESSED VALUES AND  PRETTY MUCH LOCKED IN. MY  QUESTION ON THAT SAME LINES IS  THAT TAXABLE VALUE IS THAT  INCLUDING ALL OF THE NEW NEW  PROPERTIES THAT WERE BROUGHT  IN.  >> FROM ONLINE FROM BACON  PROPERTY TO IMPROVE PROPERTY.  IS IT. THE ALSO INCLUDING ANY  SALE TRANSFERS LIKE MY SAVE MY  HOMES IS 15 YEARS OLD I SELL  TO SOMEBODY ELSE IT RESET  EVERYTHING. IT IS THAT TAKING  BOTH OF THOSE SCENARIOS INTO  CONSIDERATION. YES, OKAY, AND  IT'S THE COMMERCIAL IS ALSO  INCLUDED. YES, THANK I JUST  WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS  REGISTERING THE SUN. THANK  YOU.  >> ALL RIGHT I QUESTIONS ABOUT  THE ON LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES  AND COUNTIES THE.  >> THE CHART THERE THAT.  >> AND IN NORTH PORT 1, 1, 1,  5, WHAT HOW DOES THAT. FIGURED  OUT IS THAT OUR COUNTY AND  CITY TAX TOGETHER. OR WHAT I  DO UNDERSTAND THAT. THE EFFECT  OF MILLAGE RATE FOR 1000. YEAH  THAT INCLUDES.  >> ONLY PORT ARE MILEAGE AND  THEN EFFECTORS ANY OF OUR  ASSESSMENTS SO AND THIS IS A  CALCULATION THAT WE DO JUST TO  TRY COMPARE EVENLY. SO WE'VE  BACK THROUGH OUR FIRE SUSSMAN  EVERY EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE  SO THAT WE CAN COMPARE TO.  >> JUST IN TIME A LEVEL  PLAYING OK, SO IT'S JUST WHAT  IS EXCLUSIVE TO PORT DOESN'T  INCLUDE THE COUNTY TAX AND  THEY ARE OKAY THAT WAS MY  FIRST BECAUSE SOMEBODY.  >> THAT'S THE ABOUT THAT AND  THAT'S AGAIN THE NUMBERS DON'T  ADD UP, BUT THAT'S WHY I WAS  LOSING THE RIGHT NUMBERS AND  THAT PER CAPITA REVENUE.  >> NUMBERS NORTH PORT IS $601  AND.  >> YEAH LOOK AT THAT LONG BUT  K WHICH IS OVER 3300.  >> BUT  >> WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS A LAY  PERSON'S TERM OF EXPLAINING  THAT I WAS SAYING IT'S LIKE A  CONTRIBUTION PER RESIDENT AS  OPPOSED TO OUR PROPERTY TAXES  ARE COLLECTED SINGLE HOUSE  WHETHER THERE'S ONE PERSON IN  IT YOU'RE SERVING FOR 10  PEOPLE. TAKES INTO ACCOUNT  YESES PER PERCENT WHAT THEY'RE  CONTRIBUTING TO OUR. THAT'S  THE.  >> GOVERNMENT HAS PER CITIZEN.  AND SO OF COURSE THE LONGBOW  KEYS IS A REFLECTION OF HIGHER  VALUES THERE. A LOT OF BUYERS  IS OUR HIGH POPULATION  COMPARED TO MANY OF THEM WITH  SIMILAR REVENUE OR LOWER  REVENUE FOR A LARGER  POPULATION.  >> OKAY, SO WOULD BE ACCURATE  TO SAY THAT BECAUSE WHEN COURT  IS LITTLE OVER $600 ALONG BUT  ARE $300 THAT. PEOPLE ARE  GETTING PRETTY GOOD VALUE FOR  THEIR SERVICES LONGBOAT KEY  PROVIDING SERVICES FOR THEIR  CITIZENS, BUT IT'S BECAUSE  THEIR VALUES ARE HIGHER  COSTUME. THAT NUMBER IT LOOKS  LIKE IT'S CAUSING A LOT MONEY  FOR THAT IS THAT ACCURATE WAY  OR NOT.  >> ONLY WAY TO THINK ABOUT OUT  REALLY LIKE TO COMPARE US TO  LONGBOAT KEY BECAUSE THERE'S  ECONOMIES OF SCALE IN THAT AS  WELL BUT IT'S BUT WE'RE  GETTING A GOOD VALUE,  ESPECIALLY FOR THE QUALITY,  BUT REALLY THAT'S RIGHT WE  THAT I WOULD ONE COMMUNITY HAS  MORE WEALTH THAN OTHERS BASED  ON THE PER PERSON PER CAPITA  YOU LOOK AT THE 6 OR 8.30. IT  JUST SHOWS HOW WEALTHIER THEY  ARE AND WE WANT TO IMPROVE OUR  BY IMPROVING. THAT IS IN OUR  COMMUNITY BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT.  >> RIGHT OKAY DEVELOPMENT IN  TERMS HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU'RE  SERVING RIGHT. SO WITH THAT  KIND OF EVALUATE ARE YOU  PROVIDING AND YES, THEY'RE  THEY'RE HAPPY YOU'RE HIRED,  BUT THEY'RE STILL SERVING  NUMBER OF PEOPLE. JUST BECAUSE  THEIR PROPERTY VALUES ARE  HIGHER AS SOME PEOPLE SAY WELL  THAT'S WHY THEY SHOULD CHARGE  TAXES BECAUSE THEY'RE GETTING  SO MUCH MORE TO BALANCE THAT  HAS THAT I DON'T I DON'T THINK  IT WORKS THAT WAY BUT. PRETTY  MUCH WHAT YOU'RE SAYING NO  THAT'S NOT REALLY WHAT LOOK AT  IT.  >> SO THE TOWN OF LONGBOAT KEY  IS SPLIT BETWEEN THE 2 COUNTY  MAN AND POPULATION IS  CONSIDERABLY LOWER. AS FAR  RESIDENTIAL POP RIGHT JEN IT'S  VERY LOW. I JUST FOUND OUT  THAT THE MINNESOTA LEAGUE OF  CITIES MEETING THAT THERE. IF  THEY ARE TO INCREASE IF THEY  HAVE ANY DEVELOPMENT THAT  INCREASES RESIDENCY.  APPALACHIAN A AS IT THAT STAY  THERE. YEAR AROUND TIME THEY  HAVE TO GO TO A CHARTER IT'S  BECAUSE THEIR RESIDENTS, THEIR  POPULATION NUMBERS ARE SO  SMALL. BUT THEY HAVE  A LARGER BENEFIT OF THE NON  RESIDENTIAL IN THEIR RIGHT  WHICH NOT HOMESTEAD CORRECT SO  THAT HAS A HUGE BEARING ON THE  DIFFERENCE IT ALSO BECAUSE  LIKE THEY SAID ECONOMISTS  SCALES TOTALLY GET. MADAM  MAYOR I HAD A QUESTION ON ONE  OF PREVIOUS THEY BE US RAMPS  LOOKING BACK AT THE EFFECT OF  MILLAGE RATE PER 1000. JUST TO  BE CLEAR I SEE THAT SARASOTA  COUNTY IS BROKEN OUT INTO 3  BUCKETS. SO I'M INTERPRETING  THAT THE COUNTY MILLAGE EITHER  FOR SARASOTA IS THE CITY OF  VENICE IS CHARGED OR THE CITY  OF PORT IS CHARGED IS THAT  CORRECT. AND THEN THEY CHARGE  A HIGHER RATE FOR THE CITY OF  SARASOTA BECAUSE THEY PROVIDE  MORE SERVICE, THEY'RE LIKE.  POLICE IS CORRECT. AND AND  THEN THE TAX RATE FOR ALL OF  THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS I  JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WAS  CLEAR ON OUT.  >> OKAY WE'LL LOOK AT THIS  REAL QUICK ANSWER THAT  SHORTLY. OKAY, THANK YOU. ALL  RIGHT, VICE MAYOR EUROPE.  SECOND ROUND. LOOKING LOOKING  AT PART OF THE  >> YOU KNOW WITH WITH UNION  INCREASE SALARIES CPI. HEALTH  INSURANCE OPERATING COST  INFLATION, LOOKING AT 5.4  MILLION OF INCREASED GENERAL  FUND COSTS. VS. A PROJECTION  THAT WITH. THE CONSERVATIVE  ENOUGH AND I WOULD SAY IT'S  VERY CONSERVATIVE 7.5%.  INCREASING PROPERTY. O PLUS  JUST GENERAL AT INCREASES YOU  KNOW WITH WITH THE 96.5%  COLLECTION RATE. WE ANTICIPATE  2.3 MILLION OF REVENUE TO GO  AGAINST THAT 5.4 DEFICIT,  OKAY, OR SHORT ALSO SPEAK  INCREASING COSTS THAT WE HAVE  SO WE'RE LOOKING AT ROUGHLY  3.1 MILLION DOLLARS THAT WE'RE  LOOKING  >> THE STAFF WHAT CITIES.  >> STRATEGY FOR HOW TO  APPROACH. COST CUTTING. THAT'S  NECESSARY WE'RE GOING TO FIND  3 MILLION DOLLARS. OUT OF THIS  BUDGET. WHAT'S YOUR STRATEGY  ON HOW TO LOOK AT OTHER THAN  THE FACT THAT YOU KNOW WE WE  HAVE WORK STRATEGIC PLAN WE  HAVE OUR PRIORITIES AND ALL  THAT WHAT. BUT IT'S GOING TO  BE UP TO YOU GUYS TO  SURGICALLY GO IN THERE AND  IDENTIFY THE SPECIFIC CUTS  THAT ARE GOING TO MAKE UP THAT  3 MILLION DOLLARS LIKE. HOW  ARE YOU APPROACHING SO.  >> THIS IS VERY. THIS IS TOO  SIMPLE. WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT.  >> THERE ARE MANY OF THE  REVENUES THAT WILL AFFECT WHAT  YOUR TOTAL REVENUE NUMBER WILL  BE IT'S LIKE THE OTHER  EXPENSES THAT WILL IT SO THIS  IS A VERY GENERIC. YOU BUT IN  OUR MINDS YOU CONTROL THE  HEAVY COST DRIVERS OF YOUR  ORGANIZATION. YOU MAKE SURE  THAT YOU ARE PERSONNEL NUMBERS  ARE NOT INCREASING ANY MORE  THAN IT HAD  >> YOU LOOK AT THE EXPENSES  THAT YOU OPERATION WAS THAT.  >> WHAT DO WE REALLY NEED DO  REALLY NEED IT HOW MUCH YOU'RE  GOING  >> YOU KNOW SCRUTINIZING THOSE  NUMBERS OR SCRUBBING THOSE TO  MAKE SURE.  >> EFFORTS NEW INITIATIVES  PRIORITIES ARE PROBABLY NOT  GOING TO YOU INTO THIS BUDGET.  WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A HARD  TIME MAINTAINING BUT WE DO  LITTLE INCREASING SOMETHING  THAT NOT A PRIORITY. SO YOU'RE  NOT LOOKING AT LIKE.  >> ACROSS THE BOARD YOU'RE  LOOKING AT. BASICALLY KILLER  BY PILLAR LOOKING AT IT  STRATEGICALLY YOU KNOW RATHER  THAN SAY WHAT'S JUST 3% 5% THE  BOARD SO-CALLED BOARD CUTS  DOESN'T REALLY GO WITH  BUDGETING FOR OUTCOMES BECAUSE  YOU'RE JUST TAKING SOMETHING  UP LED ASK EVERY POINT.  >> WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS TO  ENSURE THAT. THE JOB OF OUR  DEPARTMENT LEADERSHIP IS TO  MAKE THE ASK. YEAH AND BASED  ON WHAT WE HAVE TO DO WE GIVE  AND THEN ONCE THAT WILL COME  IN TO WHAT WE WILL SHOW US  THIS IS WHAT DID NOT MAKE IT  INTO THE BUDGET. BUT THEIR JOB  AND ALWAYS ENCOURAGE THEM TELL  US WHAT YOU BECAUSE I DON'T  WANT THEM TO WELL YOU KNOW.  YOU HAVE THE MONEY SO I'M NOT  GOING TO ASK FOR THIS THAT'S  NOT YOUR JOB. OUR JOB IS TO  YOU KNOW WITH THE MONEY OF  WHAT A KID IN WE SEE THAT THEY  HAVE TO MAKE THE SO THEY'RE  GOING BE ASKED AND YOU GO WITH  THE THIS YEAR A LIST OF WHAT  WE DIDN'T GIVE BUT AFTER WE DO  THAT PROCESS OF MAKING SURE  THAT WE HAVE THAT IS WHAT CAN  IT STILL WON'T BE ENOUGH. WE  HAVE TO GO SOME OF THE OTHER  PRIORITY THAT WE'RE NOT RAIN  AS HIGH AS SOME OF THE ON THE  LIST THAT WE WENT OVER IT WILL  START MAKING SOME THAT IMPACT  THE OTHER I ONLY THAT YOU DO  NOT LISTEN YOUR TOP 3 AS MOST  IMPORTANT.  >> SO THE STRATEGY WOULD  PILLAR BIPOLAR TO LOOK AT THE  LOWEST RANKING PRIORITY ITEMS  AND SEE HOW MANY DOLLARS IN IN  IN THE PROJECTED BUDGET  CORRECT CHIP AWAY AT HER TO  FOR OR WHATEVER AND ON THE  FLIP SIDE, IT'S SORT OF A  SECOND QUESTION, BUT IT'S THE  FEE STRUCTURE STUDY. WILL THAT  BE IN A TIMELY ENOUGH FASHION.  SO WE CAN FACTOR THAT IN  AGAINST THE 3.1 BILLION. WE'RE  SURE FOCUS OBVIOUSLY LIKE YOU  SAID THERE WILL BE SOME FEES  THAT WE ALL PROBABLY HIGH ON  MAYBE BUT THERE MAY BE MANY  FEES WE ARE LOW ON AND THOSE  ARE GOING TO NEED TO BE  ADJUSTED PRIORITIZED. AND  WE'LL HAVE CERTAINLY IMPACT ON  REVENUE. SO WILL NOT BE TIMELY  ENOUGH TO.  >> I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT  WILL IF IT IS IT WILL BE LATER  IN THE PROCESS WHERE WE CAN  FACTOR THAT IN WE'RE GOING TO  HAVE TO APPROACH USE THE SAME  WAY WE HAVE PAST YEARS WE PUT  OUT A REQUEST OR LETTER OF  INTEREST. BELIEVE WE'RE GOING  TO RECEIVE ONE RESPONSE WE  WERE HOPING THAT WAS ANOTHER  ONE THAT WAS ASKING QUESTIONS  AND WORKING OUT. WE'RE HOPING  LINGER SAY THAT I'M NOT SURE  WE WILL ONCE WE GET THAT CAN  MOVE FORWARD THAT WILL HAVE  ESTIMATE OF WHAT THAT WOULD  COST THEM WILL COME BACK  COMMISSION.  >> YES, NOT IF WE DON'T HAVE  THE OFFICIAL BY THE TIME YOU  ARE ASKED TO MAKE YOUR  DECISION HAVE A DIFFERENT IDEA  OF HOW TO PRESENT IT WITH MORE  DETAILS THAT WILL ALLOW 2 HAVE  A DECISION MAKING UP  >> THANK YOU I HAVE A  QUESTIONS SUPPLEMENT  LIGHTENED. WILL THAT STUDY  ALSO INCLUDE THE ACTUAL COST  OF DELIVERING THAT YOU HAVE  THAT SERVICE.  >> WE'RE GOING COST TO  ACTUALLY SERVICE WHILE THE  INTENTION IS TO SHOW THAT  BECAUSE WE NEED TO KNOW IT  COSTS $50 TO CREATE A RECHARGE  AND SO ONE OF WHICH ARE THE 20  OFF RIGHT. SO IN ORDER FOR IT  TO.  >> B. YOU HOPEFULLY WE NEED TO  KNOW THAT INFORMATION THEN YOU  ALSO TO KNOW IF YOU'RE TRYING  $50 FOR AND IT TAKES YOU. $100  WHICH SOME OF THOSE THESE  CANNOT BE REVENUE THE SOUTH  YET TO PUT THAT INTO PLACE. IF  YOU'RE 50. EVERYONE ELSE IS  CHARGING 200. YOU KNOW THERE'S  ALSO THE COMPATIBILITY IT'S  LITTLE BIT. I DON'T WANT TO  PAINT EVERYTHING WITHIN EVEN  PUSH. BUT I THINK THAT THE  DETAIL THAT WE HOPEFULLY GET  OUT OF THIS THAT THEY WILL  EITHER DEFEND. WHAT WE DO AND  WE DO IS GO TO YOU WANT DO SO.  >> OKAY THAT SOUNDS GOOD.  THANK YOU MISTER IT OUT.  COMMISSIONER STOKES THAT WHERE  I WAS GOING WITH MY FIRST  QUESTION APPRECIATE STRATEGY  TO CUT. THING IS WHEN YOU  WOULD MENTION CITY MANAGER  THAT WE MAY HAVE TO CUT SOME  OF THE PRIORITIES IN THE  COLORS FOR STRATEGIC PLANNING.  IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING WITH  STRATEGIC PLANNING THAT THIS  IS WHERE ACTUALLY BE BACKING  OFF. WE WERE GOING TO HAVE  ANOTHER CONVERSATION WITH DOB  TO DETERMINE. SO TELLER  PRIORITIES WERE THEY PROGRAM  WITH A PRIORITY OR WERE THEY  PERPETUAL. I WAS EXPECTING  THAT TO BE I'M PRIOR TO BUDGET  BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WAS SAID  FOR THE NEXT STEPS. THAT WE  WERE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER  CONVERSATION WITH DON'T COME  BACK. NO  >> WHAT WE NEED THAT'S LAST  TIME IT. WE WAITED IN THE  COMEBACK SO WOULD YOU LIKE  COME BACK WE CAN WE'VE GOT TO  HAVE DO THAT. BUT YOUR  GUIDANCE BUT. IF THE COMBAT  FROM MY CONVERSATIONS WITH.  THIS BOARD OR  >> AND AND THAT'S FINE I'M  JUST GOING BY WHAT MY NOSE  SHOWED THAT WE WERE GOING TO  HAVE ANOTHER CONVERSATION  PRIOR TO BUDGET TO REALLY BE  ABLE TO HELP DETERMINE THOSE  PRIORITIES. WE HAD INDICATED  SOME OF THE PRIORITIES THAT  WERE TALKED ABOUT TODAY WERE  IN FACT PRIORITIES AND OTHER  THAT OTHER ONES WERE MORE  PROGRAM AND OTHER ONES WERE  MORE KEY INDICATORS AND SOME  OF THEM WERE MORE PERPETUAL  LIKE OF COURSE WE WANT THIS TO  BE A SAFE COMMUNITY WHY WOULD  THAT IT'S A PRIORITY BUT IT'S  A PERPETUAL PRIORITY. IT'S NOT  ACTION PRIORITY. SO THAT'S WHY  I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION. HE  WAS COMING BACK AND THAT'S  WHAT SHOW IT IS WHAT IT DO,  BUT I DO HAVE A RECOLLECTION  THAT AND I THINK WE HAD A STIR  PREVIOUS WHAT'S THE TITLE.  >> OKAY JUST TO INTO THAT  MEANS SUPPLEMENT THOSE ANALYST  MY RECOLLECTION IS THAT SHE  WAS GOING TO COME BACK WITH  SOME RECOMMENDATIONS MIGHT MY  PARTICULAR THING WAS SOME OF  THE THINGS WE HAD HIS  PRIORITIES WERE REALLY  MEASUREMENTS THAT AND WE WERE  GOING TO CLEAN THAT UP SO  THAT'S THAT'S IT I'M NOT SURE  JUMP IN BUT ONLY BECAUSE I  DON'T KNOW THAT THAT WOULD.  MAKE IT DIFFICULT.  >> OR OR OR. FOR FAN.  >> STAFF'S ABILITY TO LOOK AT  THE PRIORITIES. IT WOULD BUY  PILLAR AND IDENTIFY THOSE  LOWER PRIORITY, THEIS AREAS  THAT SAVINGS COULD BE FELT YOU  KNOW FROM A BUDGET STANDPOINT  YEAH THAT RIGHT I THAT WE  SHOULD DISCUSS IT AT SOME  POINT BUT I THINK FOR BUDGET  PURPOSES YOU CAN STILL ATTACK  THAT 3 MILLION DOLLAR  NOVEMBER.  >> WITHOUT THE NEED TO DO THAT  FIRST BECAUSE YES WOULDN'T  KNOW WHERE THE HIGH AND  PRIORITIES RANK ON ON THE  PILLARS.  >> YOU THE BOARD WANT THAT THE  COMEBACK WHICH IS GREAT IT  WON'T. THE LABOR OR IF YOU  WOULD WHAT WE DO ANY WAY IN IF  AND WHEN YOU WANT THAT TO  HAPPEN WILL MAKE SURE  >> OUR EFFORTS GOING WITH  WHATEVER COMES OUT OF YOUR  OBSESSION WITH SHE TALKED.  >> WE HAVE NOT APPROVED THE  STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WE WERE  WORKING IT'S NOT FINALIZED UM  AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE  LOOKING TO DO WAS HAVING  FINALIZED STRATEGIC PLAN. AND  I DON'T I DON'T REMEMBER IF IT  WAS DUMPED THAT WAS COMING  BACK. MY RECOLLECTION WAS  DUBBED, BUT NOW THAT YOU  MENTION SHE SAID SHE WOULD  COME BACK, I THINK MAYBE IT  WAS A COMBINATION OF THE 2  THAT I I DON'T KNOW, BUT. OUR  STRATEGIC PLAN. IT IS NOT.  IT'S FROM 22 TO 25. THIS  STRATEGIC PLAN AND NOT THIS  POINT. AND AND I THOUGHT WE  WERE GOING TO BE FINALIZING  COULDN'T BE DETERMINED.  PRIORITIES CAN OKAY TO THOSE  PROGRAMS AND PENDANT WOODLE  THAT ALL BUT. I I'M NOT TRYING  TO BUT THE CONVERSATION  BECAUSE IT WAS PART OF WHAT  THE PRESENTATION WAS AND KIND  OF GOES ALONG WITH HOW ARE WE  GOING TO CUT THINGS TO REACH  THAT MAGIC 3 MILLION MARK. SO  THANK YOU.  >> EVEN THOUGH THE PLANNING OF  THE WINDOW OF TIME ON IT I  WOULDN'T CALL BECAUSE YOU TALK  ABOUT THE LAST TO PUT YEAR YOU  MET AS A BOARD TO TALK ABOUT  WHAT I GOT THAT THE BOARD TALK  ABOUT IT WITH COMMISSIONERS DO  GOT HERE SO IT'S IS ACCURATE  IS GOING GET RELATED TO YOU OR  BOTH RECENT BOARD COMPOSITION  CONVERSATIONS. NOW IT NEEDS TO  YOU KNOW WHEN YOU DO YOUR NEXT  ONE IF YOU NEED TO GO OUT THE  NEXT 5 YEARS THAT'S FINE BUT  IT'S ANNUAL PLAY THAT YOU'VE  DISCUSSED IT WITH  BUT IT YOU WANT THAT THE  COMBAT THAT'S GOAL. THEY LIKE  US THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING BUT  IF WE NEED TO SO WRAPPED UP  WITH BOW ON IT HAPPY TO DO SO.  >> OKAY DO YOU DIRECTION FROM  AN GARAGE AND IT'S WORKSHOP.  LET ME GET IT IN GENERAL. WHAT  WE THAT OKAY. ALL RIGHT AND  THEN I HAVE QUESTION ABOUT  THAT 3 MILLION DOLLARS THAT.  VICE MAYOR IS TALKING ABOUT  NEW SLIDES SAID THAT WE HAVE A  RESERVE WHICH ISN'T. IT YOU  CAN TAKE FROM IT IT'S OK, YOU  CAN'T TOUCH THIS THAT CAN'T  TOUCH BUT.  >> YOU WE KEPT SO THAT A  POSSIBILITY MORE IS THAT  REALLY NOT.  >> RECOMMENDED TO TAKE FROM  YOUR RESERVE. YES, AND THAT  THERE THE YEAR THAT WE BALANCE  OUR BUDGET WITHOUT USING ANY  OF THAT IS ARE WHICH IS  VERY ATYPICAL.  >> IT MAY NOT ONE OF THAT WAY  YEAR. BUT THANKS FOR BRINGING  THAT UP BECAUSE I THINK THAT  WITH A GREAT LACK OF  APPRECIATION OF HOW WE BALANCE  THE BUDGET WITHOUT TOUCHING  THAT POT OF MONEY.  >> THEY HAVE THE TEXT ABOUT  MONEY. WE'VE GOT TO SOLVE THE  PROBLEM BEFORE YOU TOUCH THAT  THAT'S LAST RESORT NOT YOUR  FIRST RIGHT IF IT WASN'T ON  THERE BECAUSE WE DO CONSIDER  THAT  >> IF WE GET TO THE POINT  WHERE WE'RE CUTTING THINGS  THAT YOU DON'T AGREE WITH. OR  WE COULDN'T THING THAT WE FEEL  LIKE OKAY ARE GOING TO AFFECT  OUR QUALITY OF SERVICE OR OUR  ABILITY TO SERVE THAT'S AN  OPTION AND THAT'S THE I WOULD  NOT.  >> AT THE SAME THOUGH IF YOU  LOOK AT THAT. CHART. WELL IT  SHOWS. THE EXCESS OVER THE 20%  SO WILL I DON'T KNOW WHAT NEED  A SAKE. IF YOU GET THEM ALL  AGAINST EACH OTHER WITH THE  DEFICIT THAT ROAD AND DRAINAGE  CHEST AND BASICALLY THERE IS  NO MONEY LEFT OVER THEIR  RECENT DIFFERENT BUCKETS  RIGHT, BUT THE NET EFFECT OF  IS SIRO SO BASICALLY WHAT  WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT IS ARE  20% MANDATORY REACH SERVICE IS  WHAT WE'VE GOT SO I WILL HAVE  GREAT RESERVATION ABOUT  DIPPING INTO THAT FUND. I  DON'T ANY OF THE OTHER POCKETS  THAT MAY SHOW EXCESS BECAUSE  THE ROAD AND DRAINAGE SO  OUTRAGEOUSLY NEGATIVE THAT YOU  KNOW IN TILL THAT'S MADE I  WOULD HAVE SOME CONCERNS AND I  KNOW YOU CAN'T SWAP A LOT OF  STUFF BACK AND FORTH AMONG  POCKETS, BUT YOU KNOW YOU  CAN'T PUT FOR THE GENERAL FUND  I WOULD BE HESITANT GET  BUTTONS ARE INDEPENDENT OF  EACH OTHER CORRECT AND SO  WHILE THE VOTING GRANT FUND  THE PLAN WORKED ITSELF OUT  WASN'T I MEAN YOUR PLAN THAT  WE HAD PLACE PUT TO WILL.  >> SO BASED ON THAT THAT BOOK  THAT SHOULD WORK IT'S ABOUT I  WOULDN'T. WE WOULD NOT ALLOW  THAT TO DISCOURAGE US IF WE  GOT TO THE POINT OF NEED OF  THE BUCKET BECAUSE IT'S JUST  GETTING THAT POINT WE NEEDED  AND THEY WERE TELLING YOU WE  HAVE OPTION BUT TO YOU. HE  SAYS A OF THE GAP.  >> THE ROAD AND DRAINAGE FUN  IS ANTICIPATING A LITTLE OVER  13 MILLION IN FEMA IN THIS  CURRENT YEAR. BUT JUST BUT WE  BUDGETED LAST YEAR SO WHEN  THOSE EXPENSES ROLLED OVER  BECAME FUND ABOUT. SO WHEN YOU  REMEMBER THEY WERE ABOUT  15 MILLION IN THE NEGATIVE  THAT 13 APARTMENT ABOUT 5%  PRETTY CLOSE OKAY, AND THAT'S  IF THEY SPEND EVERY OTHER  DOLLAR AND ONLY GET EVERY SO  WE'RE OPEN.  >> A LITTLE MORE BALANCING OUT  FOR PRESUMING THAT AND THE  NEXT GREAT FISCAL YEAR WE  ACTUALLY SEE THAT MONEY FEMA,  IT COULD BE 5 YEARS BEFORE WE  SEE IT TO OR CORRECT THAT WE  WE SAW A LOT LAST YEAR DO I  APPRECIATE RAISE THE ISSUE  BECAUSE IT'S NOT A BUDGET THAT  WANT TO GO TO BEFORE WE'VE  LITERALLY TAKEN A SEARCH OF  GOLD KNIFE TO THE BUDGET.  >> IT TO FIND OUT 3 MILLION  AND I WOULD NOT SAY THIS HAS  BEEN DONE IN THE PAST YEAR AS  PEOPLE BUT I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE  USE IT PREMATURELY YES WITHOUT  SORT OF GOING THROUGH THE  EXERCISE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT  A THEY CAN BE USED AS AN EASY  WAY OUT ESPECIALLY IF REALLY  DON'T WANT TO. SACRIFICED  HIRING PEOPLE YOU REALLY DON'T  WANT TO SACRIFICE. YOU KNOW,  GOING QUESTION US WE'RE READY  TO CIRCLE BACK TO THE EFFECT  OF MILLAGE QUESTION OF  >> AND TO BE ANY MORE  QUESTIONS ABOUT. MOST LINES.  COMMISSIONER THOW.  >> I HAVE A NEW QUESTION BUT  IF YOU WANT TO CIRCLE BACK TO  TIME THEY GET THAT CLEARED OUT  THERE OFF EVENT NEXT  >> I THIS IS GOING TO PLAY  LIKE THAT SLIDE UP.  >> BECAUSE YOU MAY NOT ALL  HAVE FRONT OF MIGHT BE EASIER  FOR ME TO EXPLAIN. IF WE'RE  ALL LOOKING AT. BUT JUST GIVE  YOU AN EXAMPLE SO FOR WE'RE  LOOKING AT THE FAR RIGHT 3  EFFECTIVE MOINES WRITES SO THE  FIRST ONE THE COUNTY MILLAGE  OTHER SARASOTA COUNTY THAT  WOULD BE IF YOU LIVE IN VENICE  THAT'S THE RATE THAT YOU PAY  TO SARASOTA COUNTY ON NORTH  AND THAT'S WHAT IS IF YOU LIVE  IN CITY OF SARASOTA THAT'S THE  RIGHT YOU PAY TO THE COUNTY.  THE FAR-RIGHT ONE IF YOU LIVE  IN UNINCORPORATED YOU'RE NOT  IN ONE OF THOSE CITIES BUT  YOU'RE IN SARASOTA COUNTY.  THAT'S THE RATE THAT YOU PAY  TO SARASOTA COUNTY.  >> QUESTION IS OR 6.1 1, 5,  DOES THAT INCLUDE WHAT WE PAY  TO THE COUNTY TO  >> SO ADDITION TO THE EFFECT  OF MILLAGE RATE OF 6.3 WE PAY  PROBABLY ANOTHER 3 PLUS  PERCENT TO THE COUNTY.  >> FIRST SOME SORT OF SERVICE  THAT.  >> COMPARING COUNTIES AND  MUNICIPALITIES DIFFICULT SHOW  DIFFICULT AND I JUST WANTED  EVERYBODY TO REALIZE THAT THAT  EFFECTIVE RATE STILL SHORT 3  POINT PLUS FOR THINGS TAXES WE  PAY. IT'S A CITY TO THE COUNTY  FOR SERVICES SERVICES CORRECT  SOME  >> YEAH I THINK THAT YOU HAVE  A VALID POINT THERE BECAUSE  PEOPLE TALK FURTHER TAX BILL  EVERYTHING IS ON THERE  INCLUDING AND ALL THAT AND I  SAID JUST LOOK AT THE CITY OF  PORT. THAT'S WHAT WE CAN  CONTROL HERE SO I'M YES FOR  CLARITY YEAH.  >> SO WHEN YOU SAID THE 3.3 4,  5, 2, THAT'S WHAT IS PAID.  >> FRANK IF YOU LIVE IN THE  CITY OF BENNETT'S APOLOGIZE  THAT WAS AN EXAMPLE OR NORTH  PORT THANK YOU, YES, WANTED  SEE WHERE DID WE THINK IN  THOSE 3 YES, OKAY.  >> SO ITS VENICE AND NORTH  PORT AND THEN THE NEXT KILLER  IS JUST THE CITY OF SARASOTA  AND THEN THE OTHER ONE IS  UNINCORPORATED SARASOTA COUNTY  AND WE'RE LEAVING THE TOWN OF  LONGBOAT KEY COMPLETELY OFF OF  THAT BECAUSE IT'S 2 COUNTS. I  WOULD ASSUME.  >> SO WE HAVE THAT OVER TO THE  FAR LEFT THAT IS THERE.  >> OF THE 3.3 4 IS  VENICE NORTH PORT AND ONE  BOAT. SO IT'S ALL THE OTHER  INCORPORATED CITIES EXCEPT FOR  THE CITY OF SARASOTA CORRECT.  THANK YOU FOR THAT PLAYER.  OKAY. YOU KNOW THERE'S  SOMETHING ELSE COULD HAVE THAT  OKAY A MACAU. MY NEXT SET OF  QUESTIONS HAVE TO DO WITH THIS  SALARY. BECAUSE. IN THE PAST  WE'VE DONE THE 3.5 GROWTH  THAT'S MERIT. CORRECT. BUT  THEN WE'VE DONE AND ADDED 2  AND A HALF PERCENT WHICH WAS A  COMBINATION OF CPI AND MINIMUM  WAGE. IT WAS A CPI IN THE  MINIMUM WAGE AS PART OF THAT 2  AND A HALF PERCENT. BECAUSE  CPI IS CONSIDERABLY DIFFERENT  THAN IT WAS A YEAR AGO,  ALTHOUGH MAJORITY OF PEOPLE'S  POCKETBOOKS DON'T SHOW THAT.  USING THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF  OF CPI HAS BASICALLY CUT IN  HALF. AND I'M JUST GOING BY  NATIONAL AND I KNOW CPI CAN BE  REGIONALLY TOO. I WOULD REALLY  BE INTERESTED IN SEEING FLOW  CHART OF DATA FOR CPI FOR OUR  REGION. BECAUSE WE MAY NOT  HAVE TO DO CPI AS HIGH AS WHAT  WE'VE DONE IT IN THE PAST, I  MEAN WORK NATIONALLY IT'S 3.1.  NOW USING THIS SAME MONTH  COMPARISON OF MONTH OF  FEBRUARY. 6 WAS LAST YEAR 6%  WAS LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME.  ALMOST 8% OF THE YEAR BEFORE.  SO I'M I'M WONDERING IF AND  THIS ALL HAVE TO BE A  CONVERSATION BECAUSE I WANT TO  SEE THE REGIONAL CPI.  >> THAT WOULD BE 3.9 AS OF  JANUARY 24 REGIONAL SAINT PETE  CLEARWATER PAY 3.9  >> WE RAISE IT UP IF PEOPLE  WHAT WAS IT IN  >> 2023 BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IT  HAD TO BE CLOSER THAN TO 7 OR  8. AND WE WE STILL DID THE 2  AND A HALF.  >> I LIKE IS GOING THAT.  >> REMEMBER IT'S SPLIT INTO 2  THINGS ONE AND A HALF US A  CALL CORRECT IN THE ONE  PERCENT IS THE INCREASE OR  MINIMUM 5 YEARS, CORRECT SO  ANYTHING I BELIEVE THE WAY  IT'S WRITTEN ANYTHING OVER ONE  AND A HALF AND THAT CPI FOR  THIS AND THE SAINT PETE  CLEARWATER. WE'LL GET A ONE  AND A HALF PERCENT INCREASE  FOR THAT THE COLA. IF I NOTED.  >> YET LAST YEAR A LOT MORE 6  OR 7. I DON'T LIKE I SAID I  WAS USING NATIONAL AND THAT'S  WHY I'M REQUESTING IF WE COULD  POSSIBLY GET A COMPARISON  REGIONALLY FOR THE PAST YOU TO  SEE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE AND  YES, I STATED IT WAS ONE AND A  HALF WHOLE AND THEN ONE  PERCENT FOR MINIMUM WAGE.  >> MINIMUM WAGE SHOULD BE DONE  OCTOBER OF 20 IVOR 26. I THINK  I THINK WE'RE DONE SO I DON'T  KNOW IF IT WERE DONE THIS YEAR  OR WERE DONE NEXT YEAR. SO WE  JUST NEED TO DOUBLE CHECK  THAT.  >> NO IT'S NOT 25. I BELIEVE  IS 26. I OK.  >> FOR CLARITY BECAUSE I HAD  TAKEN THEM DIFFERENT NUMBERS.  >> 1.5 IS FOR RAISING THE  MINIMUM ZARA 1.0 FOR RAISING  THEM IN LIVES. ONE COMPANIES  ARE AND THAT.  >> LIMITATION OF THE 1.5 WAS  JUST ON A PROJECT. IT'S WE'VE  YOU KNOW LIMITED TO THAT UP TO  THE CPI. BUT THAT'S NOT THAT'S  JUST A SO THAT'S A CAP.  >> BUT I THINK WE SHOULD START  FALL OF THE REGIONAL MODELS  SO. SOMETHING  >> WE FOLLOW THE REGIONAL  MODEL THAT 3 MILLION DOLLARS  AND HE'S GOING TO BE EVEN  HIGHER. IF WE WERE GOING TO DO  THAT WE SHOULD HAVE PROBABLY  DONE IT LAST YEAR WHEN THE CPI  WAS TWICE THE SIZE WHAT IT IS  NOT.  >> NOTHING WE CAN  >> IT'S ALL A QUESTION I HAD  >> THANK YOU I'M LOOKING AT  THE GENERAL FUND CHANGES  BETWEEN 2425 INFLATIONARY LAST  YEAR WE HAD. ABOUT 571. ISN'T.  >> AND NOW IT'S TRIPLE LOST  THAT.  >> THIS REALLY JUMPED THAT  MUCH THIS WE CATCHING UP THAT  JUST SEEMS LIKE A REALLY BIG  JUMP.  >> USE FACTOR TO INCREASE OUR  EXPENSES FROM WANT YOU REX. I  SHOULD GIVE IT HER.  >> MAN I JUST DON'T I DON'T  THINK INFLATION IS ANY WORSE  THIS YEAR THAN WAS LAST YEAR  YEAR BEFORE IT'S BEEN PRETTY  PAINFUL.  >> SINCE COVID.  >> SINCE WE'RE SO PRELIMINARY  WHAT WE DON'T WE COULDN'T  THERE'S 3% OF OPERATING COSTS.  >> WHAT DID WE DO LAST YEAR. I  BELIEVE IT WAS ALSO 3% BUT I  WOULD YOU WE WOULD LIKE COME  FIRST. OK THANK YOU APPRECIATE  THAT. JUST SEEMS LIKE A VERY  BIG JUMP. AND ONE YEAR.  >> IT WAS JUST WE WANTED TO  PUT SOMETHING IN THERE BUT  HAVE NO WAY LIKE THAT AT THIS  POINT PUT A PLACE HOLDER.  COMMISSIONER ANYTHING LONG AS  I'M GOOD RIGHT WITH THAT. VICE  MAYOR.  >> YEAH IT'S KIND OF PLAYED  FIRST JUST A QUICK QUESTION.  WE ACTUALLY ON THE SRQ. THEY  CAN ASK FOR MONEY TO GO TO THE  POLICE HEADQUARTERS. DID. I  COULD IMPROVE. BECAUSE I THAT  WAS OFF THE TABLE.  >> WE DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR THAT  I JUST WANT GET BACK IS OUR  GRANT AND OF THEM BE A WHAT  THAT. IT'S THE VISION NOT.  THAT'S WHAT I'M SORRY THAT  THAT WE DID NOT SUBMIT THEM. A  REASON WHY BECAUSE HER ARE  CARE OF IT.  >> THAT WE CAN'T CHANGE. MAKE  A PIE WITH THE FEDERAL CAN  >> THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT OK I  JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE SO MY  QUESTION ACTUALLY FOR THE  BUDGET IS. ANTICIPATING THAT  WE WILL GET SOME AMOUNT OF  MONEY FROM THE SRQ FOR  INFRASTRUCTURE FOR BRIDGES FOR  FOR STRUCTURES, WHATEVER. IT'S  A CONTEMPLATED. IN THE IN THE  BUDGET YOU'RE GOING TO  PROPOSE. WILL THERE BE.  GENERAL FUND OPERATING  EXPENSES COSTS.

AS THE CITY OF NORTH PORT IS  LOCATED AT THE LOW END OF THE  BIG SLEW WATERSHED DRAINAGE  SYSTEM. THE CITY'S CURRENT  FLOODING AND WATER QUALITY  CONDITIONS ARE ATTRIBUTED NOT  ONLY TO THE CITY'S GROWTH BUT  ALSO TO UPSTREAM RUNOFF IN THE  DESOTO MANATEE AND SARASOTA  COUNTY PORTIONS OF THE BIG  SLOW. DURING SIGNIFICANT RAIN  EVENTS PONDING CAN ALSO OCCUR  PONDING OCCURS AND LOW-LYING  AREAS THAT ARE CHARACTERIZED  BY POORLY DRAINED OR SUPER  SATURATED SOILS WITH  BACK-TO-BACK RAINFALL EVENTS  THE GROUND IS TOTALLY  SATURATED WHICH INCREASES THE  RUNOFF DURING A STORM.

ONE BUCKET. I I'M. SO MY  QUESTION IS TO GET MONEY BACK  FROM FEMA OR INSURANCE.  BECAUSE THERE ARE 2 ENTITIES.  >> IS IT GOING TO EXPENSE THAT  WAS EXPENDED FROM BUCKET OR IS  GOING TO BE ONLY REAPPLIED TO  ONLY ONE PLACE.  >> TO GET THE NEGATIVE.  BALANCES.  >> IT WILL GO BACK TO THE  BUCKET FOR US.  >> OKAY.  >> SO FEMA MONEY IS IT ALL  THAT MONEY COMING ONLY FROM  ROAD AND DRAINAGE OR IS IT  JUST A LUMP SUM THAT'S COMING  IN AND THEN.  >> PORTION OF ROAD DRAINAGE A  PORTION OF ARTS APPORTION  ABOUT A GENERAL THING IT  DEPENDS ON HOW.  >> PROJECTS WRITTEN WITH MOST  OF IT SEPARATED, BUT FUN. WE  DO HAVE A COUPLE BUILDING  PERMIT. THAT INCLUDES PARKS,  MAYBE SOMETHING FROM FIRE MAY  BE SOMETHING MORE BRAINS. AND  IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THIS  REINFORCEMENTS COME AS A MOM  AND IT'S A. MY STAFF. IT'S  PACKED WHAT USUALLY AT HOUSE  FIRST AND WORKING WITH  >> CONTRACT SO YOU COULD YOU  HAVE A SPREADSHEET OF WHAT WAS  EXPENDED AND WHAT IS COMING  WILL THAT BE INTERESTING TO  SEE. JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE  BECAUSE THAT'S PART OF THIS  BUDGET.  >> I HAVE A COUPLE RELATED  QUESTIONS IF MAY MADAM MAYOR.  >> WE TALKED ABOUT INSURANCE  AND FEMA MONEY COMING IN SO  RELATIVE TO ROAD AND DRAINAGE.  SO THAT NEGATIVE FUND BALANCE  AND THE ROUGH ESTIMATE OF WHAT  PERCENTAGE OF THAT WILL BE  MADE UP BY FEMA AND INSURANCE  LIKE WHAT'S A.  >> DELTA THERE QUESTION NUMBER  ONE. QUESTION NUMBER 2 IS  GIVEN. THE NEGATIVE. FUND  BALANCE AND ROAD AND DRAINAGE.  >> SHOULD WE BE RESERVING MORE  THAN 20% ARE WE LEGALLY ABLE  TO DO THAT UNDER THE  CIRCUMSTANCES.  >> SO I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT  OVER RESERVE AND WE'RE  EXPECTING THAT FUN TO BE MADE  EVEN PARTIALLY. HALL BY FEMA,  BUT I'M JUST TRYING TO GET A  SENSE OF WHERE WE'RE AT.  PERCENTAGE.  >> SO WHEN IT COMES DEBRIS.  THOSE ARE REIMBURSED AT A 100%  UP TO A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD.  AND I THINK SOME 22. SO  ANYTHING FROM THAT THOSE 3 OR  4 GAMES PART OF THE STORM TILL  DECEMBER 8TH, 2022. BREE ONLY  CITY STAFF. EQUIPMENT THIS  TYPES OF THINGS. A 100% RIGHT.  >> AND WE'VE GOT EVERYTHING IN  BY THE DEADLINE.  >> THERE IS THE DEADLINE  ONGOING SO BECAUSE IT TAKES A  LOT OF TIME WITH THIS  >> WE DID REALLY GOOD WITH  REIMBURSEMENTS FOR FREE  ESPECIALLY. YOU KNOW GETTING A  FOR EVERYBODY ELSE STARTED  TURNING PAPERWORK IN SLOWING  THE PROCESS DOWN WHICH IS  WHERE WE'RE AT NOW. ANYTHING  AFTER THAT DECEMBER 8TH  DEADLINE IS REIMBURSED AT 90  PER SET HIM UP I PERCENT STATE  AND THEN WE'RE RESPONSIBLE I  STOP. AND THAT'S ALSO FOR  DEBRIS AND OUR TIME. WHEN IT  COMES TO PERMANENT BUILDINGS  AND STRUCTURES AND THOSE TYPES  OF THINGS THAT ARE INSURED THE  MUD IS A LAST RESORT JUST LIKE  IT IS FOR REGULAR PERSON SO  IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE  WHILE WELL THIS PERMANENT  REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED WE'LL GO  TO ENSURE ITS FIRST. INSURANCE  WILL PAY WHERE THEY DO THEN WE  SUBMIT A CLAIM TO THE MOB AND  THEN SEE WHERE THEY CAN MAKE  IT OUT. ANYTHING, BUT IT'S  JUST LIKE A REGULAR RESIDENT,  WHENEVER IT COMES  >> SHOULD WE BE RESERVING MORE  THAT ON THEM WE ARE.  DON'T  EVERYBODY  >> I THINK THAT THE HEAD OF  THE SHOW PUT IT IN A GOOD  POSITION TO. REASONABLE  SITUATIONS OCCUR EVEN WITH  THIS FORWARD AND WHICH WAS  SORT OF IT THE WORST END OF  THE SPECTRUM. SO EVEN THOUGH  GOT SOME MONEY ALREADY AT  POLICE IS THAT IT WILL GET  THERE WE'RE EXPECTED TO GET  ONE DONE IN THIS FISCAL YEAR.  THE THAT SHOWS THAT YOUR  SYSTEM WORKING PROPERLY. IF  YOU INCREASE IT AND THEY TAKE  A. ACTION. THE BOARD IN ORDER  TO DO THAT YOU ARE VERY WELL  CAPABLE OF BUT I DON'T THINK  THAT THAT'S SOMETHING DO WITH  THE PRIME  >> FROM RUBBLE AND WE'RE  EXPECTING ANOTHER 7 MILLION  FOR DEBRIS ONLY SO ALL OF THAT  IS ROAD AND DRAINAGE SO THAT'S  WHAT'S LEFT, BUT WE EXPECT TO  BE REIMBURSED. SO NOW THE  BOARD CAN YOU KNOW. IF YOU  MOVE TO RESERVE ONE YOU CAN'T  IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE'RE  RECOMMENDING THAT  WE DO.  >> WE GAVE YOU THE.  >> TO YOUR EARLY TO RESTORE  IT. SO MUCH YOU'RE NOT HAPPY  WITH THAT IT'S NOT SOMETHING  WE NEED TO BE MAKING EXTRA  ARE.

AND IN  LIGHT OF HURRICANE IAN, MAYBE  WE SHOULD PROBABLY HAVE DURING  BE INSTEAD OF THE 20%, MAYBE  25. OR SOMETHING. BUT WE ALSO  HAVE OUR FUND BALANCE POLICY  IS NOT JUST BETWEEN PERCENT.  THERE'S ALSO A FUND BALANCE OF  10 MORE PERCENT THAT ALWAYS  SEEMS TO GET LOST BY THE WAIST  THAT'S NOT ACCOUNTED FOR  BECAUSE IT'S A. UP TO. 10% BUT  THERE'S NO MINIMUM AND THAT IS  FOR THE. IF THERE'S A COST OF  MATERIALS GOES UP WE WERE  SUPPOSED TO HAVE ANOTHER. UP  TO 10%. AS PART OF FUND  BALANCE HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET  THAT HAVE A MINIMUM BECAUSE  THERE'S 2 DIFFERENT ONES  EMERGENCY. ONE IS MORE  ECONOMIC. YOU KNOW IT'S LIKE  THE COST OF STEEL WHEN YOU'RE  WE HAVE TO COST TO STILL GO UP  WHICH INCREASE THE COST OF  SOLID WASTE AND EXPONENTIALLY  SO CAN PUT IT ECONOMIC  STABILIZATION UP 2% AND THAT'S  NOT CAPTURED IN WHERE WE JUST  TALK ABOUT FUN ABOUT IT. SO.  >> AND THAT PREVIOUSLY WAS  REQUIRED 5% IT WAS REMINDING  TO TAKE THAT AWAY AND SAY IT'S  UP TO 10 WITHOUT COMMISSION  APPROVAL, STILL GOING BY.  >> WITH YOUR APPROVAL, BUT  THERE WAS NO MINIMUM FOR THAT  ECONOMIC STATE STABILIZATION  WHICH WAS 5%. SO MAYBE THAT  MIGHT BE SOMETHING WE MIGHT  WANT TO PUT ON CITY MANAGER  STAFFS RADAR TO SEE ABOUT  RE-DOING SOME POINT IN THE  FUTURE AND HAVING THAT  DISCUSSION BECAUSE IF WE DON'T  HAVE THAT DISCUSSION, IT'S  GOING JUST A STATUS QUO.  >> WANTED OUT COMING REGARDING  THE YOUNG AND THE VOTERS.  PERCENTAGE. IT WILL HAVE AN  EFFECT ON THE RATE IF YOU DO  THAT BECAUSE PUTTING MORE SIDE  LOOKED FAVORABLE FOR.  >> VICE  >> MAYOR. SEPARATE WHAT IS THE  SUSTAINABILITY MANAGER. IS ARE  OUR NATURAL RESOURCE DIVISION  OR DEPARTMENT. I MEAN IT WAS  BROUGHT UP EARLIER ON IN THE  PRESENTATION. SO I'M JUST  CURIOUS LIKE I UNIT THAT CAN  POPPED OUT AT ME AND I DON'T  REALLY UNDERSTAND THE  DEFINITION OF JOB VERSUS  RESPONSIBILITY SET FOR NATURAL  RESOURCES.  >> TO OFFICE RIGHT  >> REFERRING TO THAT YOU'RE.  ON  >> PRESSED. TRIBAL CAN'T LEAVE  HER IT.  >> JUST RELATED TO THAT IF I  CAN JUMP ONTO BY MAYOR'S  COMMENT. HAD SOME  CONVERSATIONS EARLIER WHEN WE  WERE DISCUSSING THE NATURAL  RESOURCES DIVISION AND I HAD  TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOVE  GREEN BUILDING PRACTICES THAT  SEEMS OUTSIDE OF A NATURAL  RESOURCES DIVISION, BUT IT  MIGHT BE PART OF A  SUSTAINABILITY MANAGER ABOUT  ALL KEEP QUIET LET THE EXPERT  EXPOUND. GOOD MORNING.  >> SO OUR NATURAL RESOURCES,  THEY'RE REALLY FOCUSED ON.  >> PRIMARILY. ENSURING THAT  DEVELOPMENT HAPPENS IN A  SUSTAINABLE WAY. THERE ALSO.  FOCUSED ON PROTECTION OF OUR  RESOURCES DURING CONSTRUCTION,  SO GOPHER TORTOISES TREES  THINGS LIKE THEY'RE WORKING  LOOKING AT ARE ORDINANCES ARE  COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR  ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS.  THEY DO NOT DO POLICE  ACTIVITY. THEY SOME  ENFORCEMENT AS FAR AS IF. THEY  HAVE TREES THAT ARE TAKEN DOWN  ON THE PROPERTY. THEY WILL.  REPORT THAT CODE ENFORCEMENT  AND CODE ENFORCEMENT WILL  FOLLOW UP ON THAT. THE OFFICER  THAT IS OVER CONSERVATION. HE  HANDLES A LOT OF ILLEGAL  DUMPING THINGS THAT CAN BE  TICKETED FOR. OUR NATURAL  RESOURCES DIVISION DOESN'T  HAVE ANY TYPE OF ENFORCEMENT  POWERS UNDER THE THEY DON'T  HAVE ANY WAY TO TAKE IT ANYONE  OR PROVIDE ALISHA NOTICES TO  ANYONE. AS FAR AS GREEN  BUILDING PRACTICES THEY ARE  LOOKING AT THAT THEY ARE  LOOKING AT SUSTAINABILITY THEY  WOULD WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH  THE SUSTAINABILITY MANAGER. 2.  LOOK AT DEVELOPING A  SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM. THEY  ARE LOOKING OTHER  JURISDICTIONS THAT BILITY FEES  AND HELP AS WORK SO DID THAT  COME CAN GET A CHUCKLE TO  >> SO THEY ARE THEY ARE  LOOKING AT AT HOW TO IMPLEMENT  SUSTAINABILITY FEES AND WHAT  TO USE THAT MONEY FOR BEST  PRACTICES, THOSE TYPES OF  THINGS SO AND A VERY WIDE  RANGE OF. PROGRAMMATIC THINGS  THAT THEY CAN DO LOT OF  KNOWLEDGE BASE IN ORDER TO DO  THAT. BUT IT IS DIFFERENT FROM  GOING OUT AND FINDING ILLEGAL  DUMPERS ARE WATER YOU KNOW  FLUID RELEASES THINGS LIKE  BECAUSE GUESS MY QUESTION IS I  JUST.  >> OKAY REALIZING IT SEPARATE  REPORT FROM OUR NATURAL  RESOURCES. JUST LIKE DO WE  HAVE PEOPLE WITHIN YOUR  DEPARTMENT THAT WORK ON  SUSTAINABILITY WHY A  SUSTAINABILITY MANAGER I JUST  JUST QUESTION I MEAN I KNOW ON  ONE PARTICULAR ITEM BUT BUT I  DON'T UNDERSTAND LIKE THAT WAS  BROUGHT UP IN A PRESENTATION  AS IF IT LIKE LIVING MATCH IS  IS THERE A STAFF OF  SUSTAINABILITY PEOPLE WATERS  SOMEWHAT GROUP IN A ROOM  SOMEWHERE THAT DOES THE STUFF  AND NOW WE NEED A MANAGER FOR  I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND  POPPED UP YOU  >> THAT DECISION WAS NOT FROM  MY DEPARTMENT, SO I THINK THAT  WAS FROM PUBLIC WORKS  UTILITIES UTILITIES DEPARTMENT  SO THAT WOULD BE A  SUSTAINABILITY MANAGER FROM  THE STANDPOINT OF HOW CITIES  UTILITIES ARE OPERATED. BUT I  WOULD HAVE TO DEFER TO TO OUR  UTILITIES DIRECTOR FOR THAT.  >> ANYTHING.  >> THAT HAS TO DO PLAIN  ABILITY HOWEVER, THE NATURAL  RESOURCES DIVISION WOULD BE A  PART OF THAT. CONSULTATIONS  FOR. PROGRAMS REVIEW OF  ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS THINGS  LIKE THAT BUT I I CAN'T SPEAK  TO THAT POSITION SPECIFICALLY  BECAUSE IT WAS I REQUEST.  >> FOOD ABOUT SHE HAD EXPLAIN  AWAY AND MUSHY COMES TO ASSURE  GOT HIT IT. I I DON'T THINK IT  WAS SPECIFICALLY A  SUSTAINABILITY MANAGER I THINK  IT WAS MORE CATTLE GRAZE. OR  SOME TYPE POSITION PER  SUSTAINABILITY AND IT WAS  SUPPOSED TO BE SPLIT BETWEEN  THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT AND  UTILITIES DEPARTMENT AND THEN  IT KIND OF WANT TO TELL A AND  THEN IT WAS JUST PART OF THE  DISCUSSION THAT HAD DURING  STRATEGIC PLANNING. AND IT  PRETTY MUCH PRIOR TO THE  IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NATURAL  RESOURCES DIVISION SO IT MORE  ABOUT AT ALL KIND TITLE.  NOTHING EVER HAPPENED WITH  THAT. UNTIL THE NATURAL  RESOURCE  >> POWER POINT.  >> IT'S TO TEACH OF PLANNING  POWER GOING  >> BUT IF I DIDN'T SEE EXACTLY  WHERE IT IS TOO.  >> BUT JUST TO SHARE SOMETHING  TO VICE YEARS AGO JONATHAN  LEWIS WAS THE CITY MANAGER  HERE I DID HOST WORKSHOP ABOUT  SUSTAINABILITY MANAGER FROM  CITY OF SARASOTA AND IT  ENCOMPASSES MORE THAN JUST A  NATURAL LANDSCAPE AS AND  SEVERAL RAIN BUILDING AND  PRACTICES NOW ARE STABLE  COMMUNITY THAT AREN'T  NECESSARILY CONNECTED WITH  THEM AT HOME DOES EXTENSIVE  THIS AREA,  >> FAIRMAN RESILIENCY  UNSUSTAINABLE UNITS OR YOU  NEED TO RECORD THE QUESTION  OKAY.  >> SO I HAD TO RECALL A TIME  WHEN THEY CAME UP. WHEN WE  WERE TALKING ABOUT  SUSTAINABILITY MANAGER WERE  TALKING YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT  CLIMATE CHANGE SEA LEVEL RISE,  WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING  THAT'S IMPACTING THE  INFRASTRUCTURE OF OUR CITY. AT  THAT TIME THINK WAS ONLY A  THIS BUDGET SEASON WE'RE  TALKING ABOUT THAT POSITION  SHIFTING OVER TO THE  DEVELOPMENT SERVICES GROUP. WE  TOOK THE POSITION THAT WE HAD  AND WE TURN CHANGE THAT ASSET  MANAGER AND THAT ASSET  MANAGERS NOW RESPONSIBLE FOR  INFRASTRUCTURE AND ISO 5,001  CERTIFICATION PROGRAM SO  THEY'RE LEADING THAT CHARGE  RIGHT NOW THAT WILL SEE THE  BUDGET 2 IN THAT NEXT YEAR.  WE'RE DEEPLY INTO THAT NOW  WE'VE DONE OUR GAP ANALYSIS.  WE HAVE OUR ROAD MAP AND WE'RE  NOW. WORKED ON OUR ALL OUR  POLICIES AND PROCEDURES WITH A  NUTELLA TEES SOME ISSUE IS NO  LONGER SUSTAINABILITY MANAGER  AND OR UTILITIES. THAT  CONVERSATION WAS THAT IT WOULD  SHIFT THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES  BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT  STILL.  >> IN YOUR I THINK TO THAT  AGAIN THE.  >> WE DO NOT HAVE.  >> PLANS FOR A SUSTAINABILITY  MANAGER. THINGS LIKE CLIMATE  CHANGE SEA LEVEL RISE THOSE  TYPES OF THINGS ARE IN THE  WHEELHOUSE OF OUR NATURAL  RESOURCES PERSONNEL. AND I  WOULD ANTICIPATE THAT WE BOTH  THOSE PROGRAMS ARE THEY THEY  HAVE A LOT ON THEIR PLATE. SO  WE OF COURSE NEED TO  PRIORITIZE THERE TASKS AND THE  PROGRAMS THAT THEY WORK ON.  BUT AS THEY GET. MORE HE SAID  THAT AS WE. DEVELOP PROGRAMS.  HIGH WERE. WELL I WOULD I  WOULD ENVISION WOULD FALL  UNDER THEM AND THEY WOULD WORK  WITH OUR PUBLIC WORKS WITH  UTILITIES ARE OTHER  DEPARTMENTS. 2. DEVELOP THIS  PROGRAM SO THAT WE ARE  ENSURING THAT FOR INSTANCE,  YOU KNOW OUR WATER TABLES ARE  TAKING INTO IT. WE'RE TAKING  INTO ACCOUNT WITH OUR  UTILITIES ARE UNDERGROUND WORK  THAT YOU KNOW WE'RE LOOKING AT  OUR WATER TABLES WERE LOOKING  AT SEA LEVEL RISE TYPES OF  THINGS. SO I DO SEE THAT IS  THE PART OF THE FUNCTION OF  NATURAL RESOURCES, I DON'T  KNOW THAT WE WOULD HAVE  PARTICULAR. THIS SHOULD CALLED  SUSTAINABILITY MANAGER I THINK  WITH OUR ENVIRONMENTAL PLAYERS  THAT MEANT TO SPECIALISTS. WE  A LOT OF THAT SOLID BASE BILL  WE CAN CHECK DEEPER DIVE THAT  I NEEDED TO I JUST SAW THERE  WAS A PRIORITY AND IT WAS THE  SECOND HIGHEST PRIORITY UNDER  THAT.  >> 2, 5, SO I SAID, BUT SO WE  DON'T NEED I TALENT, IT'S JUST  A MATTER OF DEVELOPING A  PROCESS THAT JUST WANT TO GET  IT BECAUSE THEY COVER SO WAS  TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE  SHIP DISCOVERER WHICH THAT'S  WHAT I WANT HEAR THAT WE'VE  GOT THOSE.  >> GOING TO TAKE GOAL. THANK  YOU.  >> SO JUST A COMMENT. SO CAN  WE TAKE THAT OUT AND WE DROP  DOWN A PRIORITY AREA TO GET  THE TOP 3 W THAT WITH RETURNS  ARE THAT ALLIES IN THIS  CONVERSATION, GREAT, THANK YOU  COMMISSIONER ANYONE THE SAME.  I JUST CAUSE THIS RAIN MENTION  THAT NATURAL. RESOURCE  DIVISION IS IS IS BASED  FOCUSED MAINLY ON DEVELOPMENT.  I JUST LIKE TO PUT IT OUT  THERE FOR A FURTHER  CONVERSATION FOR US TO START.  GOING IN THE DIRECTION OF MORE  PROACTIVE. THINGS I MEAN THE  CITY OF SARASOTA THE CITY OF  VENICE THEY BOTH HAVE LIKE  HOMEOWNER TREE PLANTING  OPPORTUNITIES USING THEIR TREE  FUNDS THINK THAT'S WHAT I'M  I'M GETTING AT THINGS LIKE  THAT.  >> YES, WE WELL WHEN I SAY  THEY'RE FOCUSED DEVELOPMENT IS  BECAUSE THEY'RE YEAH TRYING TO  GET A HANDLE ON. YES THAT SUCH  FAST PACE RIGHT RIGHT. THERE  PUTTING IN THOSE PROTECTIONS  INTERNALLY WITH OUR PROCESSES  TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY DO WE  DON'T MISS ANYTHING RIGHT SO  THAT'S WHERE THERE. A LOT OF  THEIR FOCUS IS GOING RIGHT NOW  THAT THEY ARE ALREADY WORKING  ON SOME PROACTIVE STEPS  REFORESTATION IN CERTAIN AREAS  JOCKEY CLUB OVER ANNOUNCED  PEOPLE BEEN ASKED ME ABOUT  THAT BECAUSE NOW THEY CALL A  MICRO FOREST. MY CARS THAT ONE  TIME ALL TONIGHT AS THAT IT'S  THE SAME THAT SAME THING IS  GOES AROUND. BUT THAT'S.  >> TAKE IT ANY ANYTHING YOU  WANT TO CALL THAT'S FINE BUT  THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT  THINGS DEFINITELY WORKING ON  TYPES OF PROGRAMS.  >> IT'S JUST THEY WANTED TO  ENSURE THEY GOT THEIR HANDS  AROUND DEVELOPMENT PROBLEM.  YES, FIRST BECAUSE OTHERWISE  USE THAT IT WOULD.  >> COMPLETELY THE ROUTE THE  BARN THINK FOR ERGO IT. THE  REASON I BROUGHT IT UP AGAIN  IT'S BECAUSE. WE'RE TALKING  ABOUT. NEW BUDGET. LET'S MAKE  IT REAL CLEAR LOT OF MONEY TO  FUND.  >> YES THERE MAY BE SOME  REVENUE SOURCES STEP WE CAN  TWEAK HERE AND THERE. BUT IF  WE DON'T SEE THE KIND PROPERTY  ASSESSMENT INCREASE OF THAT WE  7 AND A HALF PERCENT WE'RE  LOOKING AT SOME PRETTY GOOD  CUTS HERE. AND WE BETTER BE  PREPARED TO MAKE. OKAY BECAUSE  THE ANSWER IS IN MY OPINION TO  RAISE ANYBODY'S TAXES. IT'S  CUT. THIS YEAR, OKAY THE TIME  HAS COME TO LOOK AND TAKE SOME  VERY HARD LOOKS AT THESE  NUMBERS, ESPECIALLY IN WILL. A  SEPARATE CONVERSATION ABOUT  BUILDING A NEW POLICE  HEADQUARTERS WHICH IF THE  CITIZENS OF THE CITY DECIDE  THEY WANT TO DO WILL TAXPAYERS  SOME AND SO I SAY THIS BUDGET  PROCESS I'D BETTER ABOUT  CUTTING. AND DISSECTING WHERE  WE ARE AND THERE ARE  PRIORITIES THAT ARE GOING ASK  THE WAIT THAT SIMPLE ANSWERS  JUST NOT TO CONTINUE TO SPEND  AND AND AND AND AND AND I  FEELING. DON'T RELISH BEING  THE PERSON TO SAY THIS. WELL  QUITE FRANKLY I AM  CONSERVATIVE WHEN IT COMES  BUDGET AND I BELIEVE WE NEED  TO PROVIDE AND SERVICE THE  SPACE KILLERS OF OUR CITY. BUT  I WILL TELL YOU THIS. THERE'S  A LOT VARIANCE THAT HAVE TO BE  LOOKED AT AND TIGHTENED UP AND  IN ORDER TO. AND THIS  3 MILLION 1 GAP AND THAT'S A  LOT OF MONEY SO WE CAN SIT  HERE AND TALK A LOT ABOUT ALL  THE THINGS WE'D LIKE TO BUT  ANYTHING WE SHOULD BE THINKING  ABOUT ALL THE THINGS WE'RE  GOING TO FOR 2 WITHOUT.  >> SPENT YOU SOME QUESTION GOT  ADD TO THAT IS I THINK TO  SEPARATE OUT A SEPARATE  ANYTHING COMMISSIONER WHY OF  OTHER QUESTION. SO SO WHEN WE  WERE TALKING ABOUT THE POLICE  STATION AND THE ONLY REASON  WHY I'M BRINGING IT UP IS  BECAUSE IT'S PART OF THE  PRESENTATION ON THE FUND  BALANCE ANALYSIS.  >> WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT  THE POLICE STATION WE WERE  TOLD THAT THERE WAS ABOUT  10 MILLION DOLLARS IN EXCESS  BONES FOR THE BUILDING  DEPARTMENT.  >> BUT LOOKING AT THIS.  >> THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD  PURCHASE THE NORTH PORT POLICE  DEPARTMENT BUILDING THROUGH  THE BUILDING FUND FOR  7 MILLION THAT SCENE. THIS  FUND BALANCE IS ONLY 5.3  MILLION. SO I'M I'M KIND OF  CONFUSED AS TO WHERE'S THE  REST OF THAT MONEY FROM JUST A  COUPLE WEEKS  >> THE ACTUAL FUND BALANCE IS  5.3.  >> SO EVEN THE 7 MILLION IS  OFF THE TABLE.  >> BUT WE ARE WHAT WE'RE DOING  IS THAT PATHWAY WHETHER IT'S A  5 MILLION 7 MILLION. WE'RE  GOING THROUGH A PROPER CHOSE  TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS A  VIABLE OPTION TO DONE. WERE  ALSO VERIFY YOU'RE NOT GOING  >> OK IT'S OVER SO SO WAS A  PRELIMINARY NUMBER OF PRIMARY  DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT THE HAD  ON THAT BUT WITH THE SALE OF  ASSETS.  >> THERE ARE ALSO SOME  PROPERTIES ON TANGIBLE EFFECTS  OF THE DEPARTMENT'S OVERALL.  >> OPTION THAT WOULD  CONSIDERED IN THE INITIAL  CONVERSATIONS OF TIME TO SOLVE  THE PROBLEM, I JUST WANTED TO  GET CLARITY BECAUSE WE WERE AT  THAT DISCUSSION. IT WAS  7 MILLION DOLLARS WEEK BY THE  POLICE STATION WANTED TO  BECAUSE IT SO YES, I'M JUST  PUTTING IT OUT THERE WE NEED  YOU AND I'M GLAD I GOT THE  CLARITY THAT YOU KNOW IF  ANYBODY ELSE. I DARE HAVE  ANOTHER SEPARATE QUESTION,  OKAY.  >> CITY MANAGER THE NEW  ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING  AND I KNOW YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE  A HARD QUESTION PROJECTION ON  THAT. BUT IT IS SOMETHING  THAT'S IMPORTANT. OBVIOUSLY  BUT I'M JUST TRYING TO GET  SOME GENERAL PRESSURE TALKING  LIKE A COUPLE $100,000 ARE WE  TALKING A COUPLE MILLION  DOLLARS ARE WE TALKING  5 MILLION DOLLARS IN THIS  TRYING TO GET MY KIDS  UNDERSTAND HOW ACTUALLY IMPACT  THE NEXT FISCAL BUDGET JUST. I  WOULD.  >> IT'S A PROBLEM THAT GOING  TO PROBLEMS THAT WE'RE  PROVIDING  >> THIS IN TOTAL TOTAL TOLD  THAT THAT WILL BE SPREAD OUT  OVER. ALL OF YEAR YOU KNOW  HAPPENED WHEN RIGHT. WE COULD  BE TALKING A COUPLE MILLION IN  THE FIRST YEAR SAYING IT COULD  BE OKAY. BUT YOU KNOW AS OUR  TOOL OUR THE WORKS IN THE  PROCESS.  >> WE'RE GOING HAVE SORT OF  TIMELINE THE REGION THAT WILL  ACCOMPANY RESULT INITIAL  GROUNDWORK THEY WANT THAT  HAPPENS. WE'LL TELL YOU HOW  WAR 2.  >> PROFIT IN TAKING ON MUCH  BECAUSE AGAIN THAT'S NOT SO  FAR CONTEMPLATED AT LEAST I  WOULDN'T THINK IN THIS 5.4  MILLION OF INCREASED EXPENSES  WERE 3.1 MILLION THAT'S NOT  FACTORED IN SO. BEARING IN  MIND THAT.  >> VERY WELL MAY BE A.  >> SIGNIFICANT AND VALUED  ENOUGH PRIORITY FOR US AND IF  WE SEE THERE'S A MILLION TO  2 MILLION WE'RE GOING TO NEED  WE JUST HAVE TO FACTOR THAT IN  AGAIN AND HOW NOW THAT 3.1  MIGHT BE WATER FOR PORT JUST  SO WE TAKE IT LOSE IT THEN  FINE SOMEWHERE 6 MONTHS 8  MONTHS DOWN. THERE ISN'T A ASK  WHY WE NEED A MILLION DOLLARS  IN BUDGET AMENDMENTS FOR THIS.  >> PLEASE DO ALL OVER THE ON  NUMBER IS JUST A ROUND NUMBER  WE TODAY I THE THE INCREASE IS  THAT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE  PERSONNEL FROM PATIENTS. FACT  IS NUMBER YET.  >> KNOW THAT WAS MY NEXT  >> SOME OF THEM JUST DO.  ALTHOUGH YOU KNOW NEVER SAY OR  DOLLAR WHICH WE FIND THAT OUR  NOT.  >> GOING TO KEEP UP WITH WITH  AND THAT'S WHY AND THAT'S WHY  IT'S SPECIAL BECAUSE IN THE IN  THE 1.8 MILLION SEVEN THREE  SEVEN 100 UP ABOVE UNIONS WILL  THAT MAY NOT.  >> THE.  >> INCLUSIVE ITS UNION BUT I  MEAN IF WE GUESS THAT'S I'M  SAYING THE SAME THING YOU ARE  THAT 5.4 MILLION DOLLARS WORTH  INCREASED COSTS MAYBE  6 MILLION 87 MILLION MAYBE  MORE MAYBE A LITTLE LESS WE DO  SO THAT 3 MILLION 1 SHORTFALL.  >> IS A REAL FLUID I JUST WANT  US REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT  WHAT'S GOING TO BE INVOLVED  HERE WE'VE GOT TO TO MAKE UP  THAT GAP. I MEAN. AS DRUM SETS  AND CITY MANAGER SAID THIS IS  A VERY IMPORTANT YEAR AND  WE'RE LOOKING AT THINGS VERY  DIFFERENTLY OR SHOULD BE THAT  WE HAVE HERETOFORE YOU KNOW I  WANT TO MAKE SURE. THAT EVER  OR UNDERSTAND BECAUSE  IT IS GOING TO BE. A COUPLE OF  MONTHS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO  MAKE THIS WORK AND STILL  MAINTAIN. THE PRIORITIES  WITHIN THE PILLARS THAT YOU  ARE SO DEAR TO US AS A CITY  THEY ARE THEY'RE IMPORTANT TO  CAN'T JUST TO COME. TO OCCUR,  BUT BUT THERE IS SOME HARD  DECISIONS THAT ARE GOING TO  HAVE TO BE MADE HERE LET  SOMEBODY GO UP WITH FOR  5 MILLION DOLLARS WORTH  REVENUE. I LEFT FIELD WHICH I  DON'T THINK THAT HAPPENED.  THAT'S WHY PAY PEOPLE TO THINK  BUCK.  >> PLAN THEY ALSO BRING ALONG  WAS LIKE YEAH, SO.  >> THE NEW ENTERPRISE RESOURCE  PLANNING. DURING THE DOLLAR I.  >> I NEEDED LITTLE QUICK  REFRESHER WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS  AGAIN I DO REMEMBER THE  CONVERSATION BEFORE SO EVERY  CITY.  >> AS A HEART OPERATION TO  THINK ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY  HAPPENED HOW HE  >> SOME OF WITH TODAY'S SOME  OF THEM ARE NOT WITH BASE. BUT  AS YOU CAN IMAGINE 2024. WE  REALLY SHOULD BE OPERATING ON  A WEB BASED TECHNOLOGY THAT IS  ABLE TO.  >> THE THE MOST EFFICIENT.  WELL THE DIFFERENT AREAS THAT  IT OPERATES OUR VERY OLD. IT'S  TIME TO REPLACE IT.  >> THE PACE A LITTLE BIT  BECAUSE MORE EFFICIENT BECAUSE  THE SYSTEM WILL BE THE WAR.  THE TECHNOLOGY WILL BE BETTER.  THEY SHOULD HAVE MORE WITH  FACE CAPABILITIES TO ASSIST  1520 YEARS AGO. WE PLACING IT  IS ACCORDING TO YOUR IT'S IT'S  ONE OF THOSE NECESSARY EVIL  THAT YOU'RE GOING REPLACE AS  SO IDEALLY YOU WOULD LIKE TO  REPLACE IT BEFORE YOU START TO  SEE. THAT THE CITIES IN THE  SYSTEM WHICH CAUSE MORE OFTEN  WE PUT YOU AIR. AND AT THE  POINT WHERE WE'RE AT NOW WE  HAVE SORT OF POLITICAL PROCESS  THAT WILL BE I TECHNOLOGY TO  DO WITH HERE. SO THAT WAS  THAT'S A WAY TO THINK ABOUT IT  BUT EVERY CITY EVERY PROBABLY  EVERY BUSINESS HAS RP  SOMETHING THAT RUNS ITS HEART  OF ITS OPERATIONS.  >> WHAT.  >> WHAT WOULD BE THE  EQUIVALENT OF ERP FOR THE  FUTURE AS TO WHAT WE HAVE NOW  WHAT  >> IT'S IT'S IT'S A SIMILAR.  JUST JUST AN UPGRADE THAT AND  WE'RE NOT GOING TO NOT HAVE A  NEW YORK, IS NOT GOING TO LOOK  VASTLY DIFFERENT TO THE. IT  WILL LOOK DIFFERENT TO HOW WE  INTERNALLY USE IT TO GET FROM  THE SUN. IT  >> WE HAVE A LOT OF ONE-OFF  SYSTEMS THAT INTEGRATED TO  WORK WITH.  >> OUR ERP.  >> SO IT WOULD OUR HOPE WAS  APPROACH TO HAVING ONE. IT IS  DESIGNED TO AN EARLY CALL  THINGS THEY WERE ALL LARGELY A  MAN A PROCESS PERSONAL TO SO  THAT AND THIS IS A LOT OF  OPPORTUNITY FOR ERRORS  CALCULATIONS.  ♪ A NEW LOOK FOR SOMETHING  HANDLE BE MUCH MORE AUTOMATED  THAN WHAT WE HAVE.  >> BUT BECAUSE OF TERM SORT OF  PIECED TOGETHER. IT'S WHAT  ♪ WE HAVE NEW RELEASE AT THAT  DOES IT ALL IS ABLE TO SORT  OF. ALLOW THEM TO A  CENTRALIZED EFFORT ALL THE  DIFFERENT. SO WHILE YOU'RE  TALKING ABOUT IT.  >> IT IS IS THE ERP A SPECIFIC  PROGRAM OR IS IT LIKE THE  OVERARCHING THAT ALL THE  SPECIFIC PROGRAMS FEED INTO AS  LIKE THE MOTHER BOARD OF  OVERARCHING ALL OK SO IT'S  IT'S THE MAIN SYSTEM. IT'S A  BIG KILL THIS WELL. YOU KNOW  BECAUSE.  >> RIGHT NOW WE HAVE OTHER  THINGS THAT WE ARE TRYING TO  GET DOT. I DON'T WHAT MY BOARD  THINGS BUT ONE OF THE THINGS  THAT WE HAVE GIVE CITY MANAGER  SOME KIND OF VOTE IDEA ON IS  ERP SYSTEM IS THAT SOMETHING  WE WANT TO DO TODAY. CAN  HAPPEN FISCAL YEAR I DON'T  KNOW I MEAN IF YOU WE ASK IS  ANYWHERE BETWEEN ONE AND  6 MILLION DOLLARS AND THAT WE  ALREADY HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A  SHORT FALL WE HAVE APD THAT  NEEDS TO BE DONE WE HAVE WATER  CONTROL STRUCTURES THAT NEED  TO BE DONE IN IOS IAN.  >> PARKS MAINTENANCE BUILDING  IN PUBLIC WORKS PHASE 2 IN.  >> TRASH TRANSFER STATION,  THERE'S A LOT OF REALLY BIG  BIG BIG THINGS ON OUR PLATE IN  THE NEAR FUTURE.  >> MORE IMPORTANT FOCUSES OF  YOUR GOVERNMENT TO GET ALL OF  THOSE THINGS GOING FOR  COMMUNITY, NOR ARE WE ASKING  YOU TO REPLACE ONE THAT YOU  HAVE AS A PRIORITY BUT THIS IS  PRIORITY. WHAT WE'RE SAYING  OUR EXCLUSIVE THIS IS GOING TO  LEAD TO A DECISION. WE WANT  PUT IT TO GET OUT OF STARTED  PROCESS. HAVE THE ABILITY TO  MAKE THAT CHOICE. BUT RIGHT  NOW, YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH  INFORMATION TO MAKE THAT EVEN  CHOICE. SOMETHING OF THIS SIZE  FINANCIALLY WE CAN'T DO  WITHOUT YOUR. A POOL. WE'RE  GOING TO CAUSE US SOME POINT  IN TIME GET ALL THAT  DEVELOPMENT YOU WILL HOPEFULLY  WE'LL HAVE THAT DURING THE  SUMMER YOU KNOW WHY YOU'RE  MAKING DECISIONS BUT. IT WILL  THERE. IT WILL COST YOU MORE  MONEY. STAY ON THE NOT BODE  TOO WELL AS AND GOING TO A NEW  SYSTEM THAT WILL PERFORM  BETTER WHEN YOUR USE IT.  >> IF I MIGHT POP IN FOR I  THINK IT WILL BE REALLY  IMPORTANT FOR AN INVESTMENT OF  THIS TYPE TO HAVE AN R A Y.  >> WHAT KIND OF EFFICIENCY  WILL WEAKEN IN MY MIND THAT  TRANSLATE INTO HOW DO WE  MODERATE HEADCOUNT OVER TIME  AS REPLACING MANUAL PROCESSES  WITH AUTOMATED PROCESSES. ALSO  I KNOW FROM MY TIME AND  HIGH-TECH THAT CORRECTING  ERRORS IS A VERY COSTLY  PROCESS. SO WHAT KIND OF A  PHYSICIAN'S SCENES DO WE GAIN  BECAUSE WE REDUCE OUR RATES  AND PEOPLE RUNNING AROUND  TRYING TO FIX THAT AND WHAT  KIND OF IMPROVEMENT CAN WE SEE  AND SERVICE LEVELS TO THE  PUBLIC. YOU KNOW WHEN THEY GET  ONE ANSWER FROM ONE DEPARTMENT  AND A DIFFERENT ANSWER FROM  ANOTHER DEPARTMENT YOU KNOW WE  CAN IT'S HARD TO QUANTIFY THAT  IN TERMS OF CUSTOMER  SATISFACTION BUT THAT'S COSTLY  US IT'S COSTLY TO OUR  RESIDENTS. SO I TOTALLY GET  THE NEED AN AFFECTIVE ERP IN  MY MIND I KIND OF A QUIET. TO  THOSE AUTOMATED PATIENT  RECORDS, YOU KNOW THE KIND OF  A FISSION SEE IMPROVEMENT AND  CARE HAVING THAT INFORMATION  AUTOMATED SO IT CAN BE EASILY  SHARED AND CUSTOMERS CAN  ACCESS IT. I DEFINITELY SEE  THE NEED FOR THIS BUT WE'RE  GOING TO HAVE TO SEE SOME KIND  OF AN OUR ALLY AND SERVICE  LEVEL IMPROVEMENT TO BE ABLE  TO JUSTIFY THAT YOU SAY THAT  WITHOUT A VALUE PROPOSITION  FRONT THOUGH THEY'RE  QUANTIFIED AND THAT THAT THE  ONLY REASON I BROUGHT UP.  >> THE QUESTION OF THE FIRST  PLACE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT  WAS. SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE  PART BUDGET CONVERSATION AS WE  PLANNED THIS YEAR'S BUDGET.  BECAUSE I DO CONSIDER IT I  THINK IT'S SOUNDING LIKE WE  ALL CONSIDERED AN IMPORTANT  PIECE OF THE PUZZLE. WE'RE FAR  FROM BEING ABLE TO REALLY  VALUE WITH JUDGE IT TO GET THE  ARE ALWAYS WANT TO MAKE SURE  WAS PART OF THIS CONSIDERATION  BECAUSE THAT'S AND SEE SAID.  THESE NUMBERS ARE FLUID.  >> THEY CAN GO CAN ALSO GO UP  NEED TO JUST MAKE SURE WE'RE  INCLUDING ALL PIECES WHEN WHEN  WE ALWAYS TOGETHER AND TO OPEN  TO A BUDGET THAT'S ALL.  >> MADAM MAYOR JUST REALLY  QUICK. I HAVE. LUNCHEON ON MY  CALENDAR LIKE TAKING. I'D LIKE  TO GET A FEEL FROM STAFF AND  THE BOARD WHERE WE ADAM THIS  PROCESS OR DO I NEED TO.  CANCEL MY PARTICIPATION THERE  I DIE MAKE IT LEAST WHERE IS  YOU YEAH SO REALLY ALL WHERE A  FEW MORE.  >> YEAH MORE QUESTIONS I DON'T  WEAR.  >> BREAK FOR LUNCH, I REALLY  DIDN'T WE'RE GOING TO GET MUCH  ANYTHING LEFT BUT SOMETHING  SOMEBODY SAYS WHAT TIMES  THEY'RE TOO I HAVE NOTHING  MORE SOMETHING WASN'T IT 42  >> YEAH I I UNDERSTAND THE  NEED OF THIS BRP SYSTEM. BUT  AT THE SAME TIME. IT SOUNDS.  IT SOUNDS LIKE AN NEED SLASH  WANT. WE HAVE.  >> WANT TO GO THROUGH THIS  OVERALL IS NOT PROCESS. IT IS  A BET HELP EVERYONE EVERYTHING  THAT THEY DO. HAVING IT GO  THROUGH EVERY SAYS THOUGH THAT  YOU HAVE IT'S GOING TO EVERY  OF IT YOU NEED WITH TODAY SAY  ON THE PERSON THAT CONTINUE  THE WAY WE'RE GOING I  UNDERSTAND THAT BUT I'M WOLF.  >> I'M QUESTIONING IF THE  DOLLAR INVESTMENT MEANS TO  START THIS YEAR AS OPPOSED TO  WAITING A YEAR BECAUSE IT'S  ALREADY BEEN STATED THAT  THINGS ARE GOING TO BE A  LITTLE DICEY THIS YEAR,  ESPECIALLY WITH THE LARGE  PROJECTS ON THE TABLE THAT'S  ALL I WAS ALLUDING BEFORE MAKE  THAT DECISION WHAT DOING NOW  AND BECAUSE WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE  SAY RIGHT WHAT WE'RE ASKING  FOR NOT RIGHT NOW IS THE  PLANNING THE COST OF PLANNING  STARTED THE PLANNING PROCESS  IT WILL BE MULTI-YEAR.  >> I WOULD SAY AT LEAST 3  MAYBE 5 YEAR WORD ASKING TO  START THE PLANNING AND JUST TO  ADDRESS THE WANT AS FAR AS  NEED ACTUALLY COMING ACROSS  THINGS THAT ARE NO LONGER  SUPPORT IT WITH OUR SYSTEM IS  SO OLD. WE ACTUALLY HAD TO  MAKE A CHANGE TO OUR CREDIT  CARD PROCESSING BECAUSE WE  WERE TOLD THAT THAT WAS NO  LONGER GOING TO BE SUPPORTED.  ENDED UP AND THAT THAT NOW  BEEN SELECTED. COMING BACK AND  SAYING OH NO WE'RE GOING TO.  WHEN WE START RUNNING INTO  THINGS LIKE THAT AND THAT'S  THAT'S PROBLEMATIC FROM MY  PERSPECTIVE.  >> GOING THROUGH CHANGES OF  SOFTWARE IN PROGRAMMING LIKE  THIS OF THIS MAGNITUDE. ICY  TRACK IT ALL OVER AGAIN. SO  I'M VERY CAUTIOUS ABOUT IT AND  I REALLY HOPE THAT AS THIS  GOES FORWARD THROUGH THE  PLANNING THAT WE DO SEE THAT  RETURN ON THE INVESTMENT WE DO  SEE HOW MUCH TIME IS STAFF  GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND TO  LEARN A WHOLE NEW SYSTEM  BECAUSE TO ME THAT IS AN  EXPENSE THAT NEEDS QUANTIFY TO  FIGURE OUT BECAUSE IT'S PART  OF DOING BUSINESS THAT NEEDS  TO BE DONE CAN GO TO THIS NEW  SYSTEM. THERE'S A LOT A LOT OF  UNANSWERED AND I GET THAT IT'S  COMING FORWARD, I RESERVATIONS  BASED ON WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN  THE DISCUSSION THAT WE'RE  HAVING. SOME SHORTFALLS THAT  NOW IS THE TIME WERE YEAR  THAT'S SO WHAT LOOK FORWARD TO  THOSE FURTHER DISCUSSION.  >> I JUST WANTED TO WEIGH IN  THE NIGHT I I SUPPORT. THIS  BECAUSE TALKED ABOUT A LOT OF  PROJECTS THAT ARE IN THE QUEUE  AND AND YES THAT IF YOU HAVE  TO DO WITH EVERYTHING MANUALLY  IT'S THAT'S WHY IT'S TAKING SO  DARN LONG ENDURE.  >> BY THE TIME IT COMES TO.  >> I POINT ISIS CHANGED AND  YOU KNOW, IT'S ANTIQUATED SO  YOU KNOW EVERYTHING NEEDS TO  BE YOU MENTIONED I THINK  MEDICAL, YOU KNOW THEY THEY  HAVE EVERYTHING CONNECT, I  WANT A PRESCRIPTION OR  WHATEVER AND AND THEY THEY CAN  CONNECT TO ANYBODY OUT THERE  THEY DON'T NO LONGER HAVE TO  PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL  EVERYBODY'S.  >> ARE FACTS. YEAH, I'M I'M IN  SUPPORT OF THIS BUT AGREEING  COMMISSIONER LANGDON YOU JUST  TO HAVE SOME FIGURES THERE BUT  ULTIMATELY IT.  >> NEEDS BE DIET IT'S A BIG  CALL FALL, BUT YOU KNOW WE  HAVE TO GET INTO. YOU KNOW  THEY ARE 2024. OK DO WE HAVE  OTHER DIFFERENT QUESTIONS,  LET'S MOVE IN A DIFFERENT  DIRECTION. NO ACTUALLY I'M  SORRY LAYER ON HAVE.  >> THOUGHT HE WAS NEXT FOR HIS  QUESTION SINCE THAT WAS JUST  HANGING UP THERE.  >> SO THIS SURTAX.  >> I'LL SKIP THAT ONE. THE  FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR  COMMUNITY PROJECTS. YMCA  BUILDING FOR KINGS PLASTIC. I  KNOW YOU TOUCHED ON VERY VERY  QUICKLY IN SHORT IN YOUR  PRESENTATION, I'M LOOKING TO  GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING  WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE AND.  >> HOW MUCH OF AN ASK WHAT WE  TELL ME MORE.  >> YEAH OF THE WIND IS  PROPERTY $1000. FOR FOOTBALL  AND THEY HAVE. WE HAVE THE  STATE LEVEL EVENTS OF THE  COUNTY LEVEL WE DO KNOW THAT  ASK OF US AS OF YET DEPENDING  WHAT HAPPENED THAT THOSE 2  LEVELS WILL COME BACK TO YOU  AND ASK YOU.  >> THERE IS A NEED FOR YOU TO  PROVIDE. JUST AS FOR THE  LINES.  >> SO IF I MAY JUST IN CHECK  >> SO.  >> I THINK OUR ROLE.  >> IS TO HELP FACILITATE THAT  FUNDING IT MAY OR MAY NOT  RESULT IN A BUDGET ITEM  >> YEAH, I WHERE FIRST.  RESERVE MY COMMENTS ON I MEAN  TO THE PILE ON A LITTLE BIT  WITH THAT THAT'S AGAIN PART OF  4 I SEE IT PART OF THE BUDGET  DISCUSSION. THERE ARE SOME  HARD DECISIONS TO MAKE WHILE  WE ALL APPRECIATE THE  INCREDIBLE VALUE OR NONPROFIT  SPRING TO THIS CITIZENS AND  THEY SHOULD NOT BE DISCOUNTED  OR DISMISSED FOR LESLIE. WILL  HAVE TO LOOK AT THE MALL.  >> AND AND AND.  >> YOU WEAR OR DOLLARS GOING  TO GO SO WE'LL TRY TO DO THE  BEST FOR THE MOST WITH REGARD  TO IT. WHAT LET'S FACE IT  EVERYTHING'S PRETTY MUCH ON  THE TABLE AND YOU KNOW NEEDS  TO BE CONSIDERED SO. YEAH, I  COULD OFF OLD ARE. HOLDER  COMMENTS AND OUR OPINIONS  BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT I THINK  THAT. YOU'LL 2 THE JOB YOU  WERE ALL HIRED TO DO WHICH IS  BRING US BASED ON THAT  CONVERSATION SURE HEARING HERE  BUDGET BACK TO US THAT ALLEN  SAYS THAT CONSIDERS ALL THE  COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS AND  IDEAS AND TREPIDATION SEND ALL  THAT AND THEN WE CAN SORT OF  WORK ON IT. AS A BODY I THINK  WE NEED TO BE A LITTLE CAREFUL  THAT WE DON'T START TRYING TO  FIGURE OUT HOW THIS IN TOW WE  ALLOW. CITY STAFF DO THEIR  THING AND THEN WE CAN KIND  THAT WORK AT BECAUSE I MEAN  EVERYBODY CAN SIT HERE AND  CHERRY PICK A BUDGET TO DEATH.  AND THAT'S NOT IN MY OPINION,  THE RIGHT PROCESS HERE. THAT'S  WHAT YOU ALL PAID TO DO AND I  THINK YOU DO IT REAL WELL, AND  I THINK YOU KNOW WHERE WE NEED  TO BE AT AND WHAT WE WANT TO  DO AND WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO  DO WHAT SACRED WHAT'S NOT. AND  YOU CAN BRING THIS BACK  SOMETHING THAT WE CAN WORK  WITH AND THEN. WE PUSH AND  SHOVE A LITTLE BUT I THINK YOU  KNOW. WOULD BE IMPROVED, I  THINK TO LIKE START TO INTO  DEEP SOME OF THINGS RIGHT NOW  SO.  >> IT'S TEMPTING OVER SAME  TIME IF I MAY. OUR JOB IS TO  ALSO GIVE HIM GUIDANCE ON HOW  TO PREPARE THAT BUDGET.  >> IN.  >> I'M I'M SORRY IF IT WERE  ALREADY RECOGNIZING THE FACT  THAT WE ARE 3 MILLION PASSPORT  MINE IS SHORT.
