WITH THE EXCEPTION OF UP  TASK FORCE OR SPECIAL  COMMITTEE APPOINTED BY THE  CITY COMMISSIONS. OUR FLORIDA  CONSTITUTION PROHIBITS A  PERSON FROM HOLDING MORE THAN  ONE STATE COUNTY OR MUNICIPAL  OFFICE OF THE SAME TIME. THE  FLORIDA SUPREME COURT HOLDS  THAT A PERSON IS HOLDING AN  OFFICE IF THEY HAVE DELEGATED  AUTHORITY FROM THE GOVERNMENT  TO ACT INDEPENDENTLY. A PERSON  WITH NO AUTHORITY TO ACT  INDEPENDENTLY AND ONLY THAT 30  TO ACT IN AN ADVISORY CAPACITY  IS HOLDING UNEMPLOYMENT BUT  NOT IN OFFICE. THIS PROHIBITS  FROM HIS MISSION. OFFICE  HOLDING ONLY APPLIES TO THOSE  HOLDING AN OFFICE NOT  UNEMPLOYMENT TO MANY OF THE  CITY ADVISORY BOARDS AND  COMMITTEES POSSESSED ONLY THE  AUTHORITY TO ADVISE THE CITY  COMMISSION AND THESE BOARD  MEMBERS MAY BE APPOINTED TO  MORE THAN ONE ADVISORY BOARD.  SO IT IS MY RECOMMENDATION TO  HELP INCREASE THE MEMBERSHIP  ON ADVISORY BOARDS AND WE DO  HAVE INTEREST CURRENT BOARD  MEMBERS TO SERVE ON MORE THAN  ONE BOARD TO CHANGE THE  SECTION OF THE CODE TO ALLOW  FOR THEM TO. TO PARTICIPATE ON  MORE THAN ONE BOARD THEY WOULD  NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE ON.  PLANNING AND ZONING AND.

WE'RE PRETTY MUCH  FOCUSED ON. DECIDING WHETHER  OR NOT WE WANT ALLOW FOLKS TO  SIT ON.

AND  I WOULD KNOW ALSO THAT. OUR  FEDERAL PRIORITIES WILL BE  SHARED CONGRESSMAN STILL BE IN  HIS STAFF. YOU KNOW, BUT WHAT  RECENT CONGRESSIONAL SESSIONS  HAVE PROBABLY BEEN NOTABLE FOR  THEIR INACTION BECAUSE OF THE  DEADLOCK IN WASHINGTON. SO  SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE  HAVE TAKEN UP WITH CONGRESSMAN  STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE  FULFILLED. BUT WE'RE HOPEFUL  NOW THAT THERE'S UNIFIED  CONTROL BOTH HOUSES OF  CONGRESS UNDER ONE PARTY, BUT  HOW CONGRESS WILL BEGIN TO BE  ABLE TAKE ACTION AND SO  PRIORITIES YOU MAY CHOOSE TO  COMMUNICATE TO CONGRESS WANTS  TO BE WHETHER THEY BE POLICY  ORIENTED OR FUNDING  OPPORTUNITIES. HOPEFULLY I'M A  RESULT, ACTUALLY HOW THE  CONGRESS WILL THAT WILL NOT BE  DEAD I IT WAS BEFORE. WOULD  NOTE ALSO THAT THE LAST TIME  THE COMMISSION DISCUSS THE  PRIORITIES. BEEN ALSO BEEN  PROVIDED WITH A COPY OF THE I  ALWAYS ADOPTED BY THE COUNTY.  IT'S AUGUST 28TH MEETING AND  SOME OF THE STAFF SUGGESTIONS  IN PARTICULAR AND ONE ITEM OF  OPPOSITION THAT CHIEF TITUS  PRICED. ARE DIRECTLY RELATED  TO COUNTY PRIORITIES AND YOU  HAVE A COPY OF THOSE  PRIORITIES TOO. THERE ARE  EFFORTS. SO WITH THAT BEING  I'M TURNING BACK TO YOU  HOPEFULLY WE CAN MOVE THE  DISCUSSION LONG WE CAN  INCORPORATE THE VIEWS OF NEWLY  ELECTED COMMISSIONERS NOT AND  COME TO A NEXT MEETING TIME.  THANK YOU  >> COMMISSION QUESTIONS  DISCUSSIONS. VICE MAYOR.  >> THANK YOU MISTER LOOKING AT  THESE LISTS WITH THE WITH THE  BLACK AND THE RED THAT ADDED  ONTO INCORPORATING NEW CHANGES  WAS THERE ANY OF THE OLD  CHANGES THAT YOU ALL HAD COME  UP LEADING TRYING TO  SCRUTINIZE CUT OUR LIST BACK A  LITTLE BIT OR ARE YOU JUST  LOOKING AT ADDING ON TO OUR  LIST OF PRIORITIES.  >> THAT'S AN INTERESTING IN  THAT.  >> OUR PRIORITIES THAT YOU  REFRAIN FROM LAST YEAR MANY OF  THEM ARE GENERALITIES CORRECT  AND I'M VIEW OF SOME OF THE  MORE RECENT VIEWS HAVE BEEN  EXPRESSED WANTING TO HAVE THE  PRIORITIES BECOME MORE  SPECIFIC. I'VE LEFT THEM POT  MAY BE FRIVOLOUS LETS YOU  STATION PURPOSES. SO THAT YOU  ALL DECIDE YOU WANT TO  ELIMINATE SOME GENERALITIES OR  THE MORE SPECIFIC IN SOME OF  THE SAME TOPIC AREAS. MY  THOUGHT WAS TO GIVE YOU A  BENCHMARK SHOWING WHERE YOU  WERE LAST YEAR. AND YOU NOW  HAVE THE NEW MATERIAL BUT  SOMETHING THAT THIS WILL  BECOME MUCH MORE FOCUSED  THAT'S WHERE FOLKS FEEL WE  SHOULD BE HAD.  >> AND AND THAT'S MY EXACT  THOUGHT IS I DON'T WANT TO  OVERWHELM WITH.  >> 430 ITEMS ON THE LIST THAT  ARE PRIORITIES THAT SHOULD BE  SHORTER AND MORE TO THE POINT  THIS WAY THEY WOULD SPEND LESS  TIME LOOKING AT MAYBE DIE JUST  A LITTLE BIT MORE AND THEN BE  ABLE TO WORK FORWARD WE CAN  PUT THIS IN THE LEGISLATURE.  THANK YOU THAT'S ALL I GOT  RIGHT NOW THERE.  >> THANK YOU MISTER LANGE  THEM.  >> YEAH I I AGREE WITH VICE  MAYOR, AMOR A CHILD LIKE TO  AVOID. WHAT ARE ITS SPECIFIC  OR GENERAL A VERY LONG LAUNDRY  LIST AND. I I ALWAYS COMING UP  THESE THINGS THAT LESS IS  APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT ON THAT,  BUT. LIKE TO SEE US COME UP  WITH 3 PRIORITIES AND MAYBE  THERE ARE SOME SUBTOPICS UNDER  THEM THAT OF SORT OF EXAMPLES  OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.  AND LET ME JUST SAY I MEAN ALL  OF THESE PUT I'M SUPPORTIVE OF  EVERYTHING THAT LISTED HERE  BUT TO GO IN WITH A BIG  LAUNDRY LIST I JUST DON'T  THINK WE HAVE AN IMPACT SO  AGAIN LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT  MAYBE WE IDENTIFIED 3 AREAS AS  PRIORITIES. AND THEN WHAT ARE  SOME OF THE SPECIFIC MORE  ACTIONABLE ITEMS UNDER EACH OF  THOSE PRIORITIES THAT WE CAN  GO IN  >> ANYTHING ELSE FROM ANYBODY.  SORT OF AGREE WITH BOTH THE  VICE MAYOR MISTER LANGDON ON  I'M CONCERNED ALSO ABOUT. TOO  MANY AND IN TOO BROAD. I'M  LOOKING AT HIGHLIGHTED RED.  MEAN I FEEL LIKE WE'RE. YOU  KNOW 2, 2, 2, UNDER HOME RULE  TO TO OPPOSE THE PREEMPTION OF  LOCAL CONTROL REGARDING  LONG-RANGE PLANNING LAND-USE  DEVELOPMENT AFFORDABLE  HOUSING. YOU KNOW, I MEAN.  EVERY MUNICIPALITY IN THE  STATE PROBABLY FEELS THAT WAY  MOST OF IT NOT BEEN TERRIBLY.  WELL RECEIVED THAT STATE LEVEL  BUT YOU KNOW IT'S IT'S IT'S  CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT THE  FLORIDA WEEK ITSELF. ADVOCATES  FOR CONTINUALLY WONDERING IF.  IF IT PAYS TO PUT THAT IN  THERE BECAUSE WHEN I LOOK DOWN  UNDER INFRASTRUCTURE, I SEE  YOU CERTAINLY THE REGIONAL  DEVELOPMENT UPSTREAM RESERVOIR  FOR STORM WATER MANAGEMENT. I  THINK THAT THAT WAS ITEM  SUGGESTED BY COMMISSIONER  LANGDON I THINK THAT'S. SO.  TIMING WISE. PARDON IT SO ON  POINT THE COUNTY GOT HAMMERED.  THIS LAST COUPLE YEARS IT'S  BRUTAL IF THERE WAS EVER A  TIME REALLY DRIVE HOME FOR  SOME MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE WORK  POLITICS IN THE COUNTY.  >> REALLY DON'T HAVE THE  FINANCIAL RESOURCES. IT'S  GOING TO TAKE THE STATE AND  THE FEDS STYLE TO THAT I LOVE  TO SEE THAT WHEN IT'S BE A  PUBLIC POINT ITEM FOR YOU KNOW  WANG RANGE PLANNING RESILIENCY  PROTECTION AND NATURAL  RESOURCES. SHARE IN GENERAL. I  I WOULD JUMP TO ITEM 3 THEIR  NEW POLICE HEADQUARTERS THAT'S  SOMETHING THAT WE'VE HAD SOME  POSITIVE FEEDBACK AT THE STATE  LEVEL TRUMP. THAT IS SUCH  CRITICAL CRITICAL AND  IMPORTANT THING FOR US TO GET  STATE SUPPORT. A FINANCIAL IN  NATURE FOR FOR POLICE  HEADQUARTERS WE DESPERATELY  NEED TO DO SOMETHING THE MORE  MONEY GET FROM THE STATE BUT  PRESSURE THERE WILL BE HONEST  TO GOODNESS LEVEL TRY TO  FIGURE OUT HOW TO PAY FOR IT.  SO YOU KNOW TO ME THOSE ARE TO  ITEMS. I DON'T SUNCOAST  TECHNICAL ONLY BECAUSE. THEY  MAY HAVE THE DOLLARS THEY NEED  I DON'T KNOW THERE'S STILL  ANOTHER 70 MILLION TURN  AROUND.  >> AND IF COULD JUST MAKE A  COMMENT I MADE ABOUT THAT I  THINKING ABOUT WORDING OF THIS  CITY DID YOU WANT STATUS OF  FUNDING FOR THE EXPANSION.  THIS IS KIND OF LIKE A BROAD  STATEMENT THAT CITY SUPPORTS  ADEQUATE FUNDING FOR STC FOR  WHATEVER ITS NEEDS ARE. AND  THAT MAY GO WITHOUT SAYING SO  THAT MAY FALL INTO THE  CATEGORY OF GENERALITIES THAT  WE'RE TRYING TO MOVE AWAY FROM  ARE ON RECORD WITH AND THEIR  MOST PRESSING NEED APPARENTLY  HAS BEEN FULLY FUNDED. SO FOR  CONSIDERATION OF US.  >> I MEAN OVER THE LAST COUPLE  YEARS. SEC DID NOT RECEIVE  THEIR POOL REQUEST THAT THEY  SUMMIT AND I THINK THIS YEAR  WAS A YEAR THAT WAS OUT OF THE  NORM WITH THE BBC THAT.  IMAGINE THAT THEY WANT THAT  TREND TO CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE  THAT THEY HAVE THE RESOURCES  TO SUPPORT THERE. STUDENT  ENROLLMENT SHIP AT THE SCHOOL.  BUT THERE HAS BEEN SHOWN  HISTORICALLY THEY'RE GETTING  FULL SENATE.  >> THE ONLY OTHER COMMENT I  WOULD MAKE US ON WE'RE FUNDING  FOR FLORIDA FOREVER PROGRAM  FOR PURPOSE, INCLUDING LAND  PRESERVATION PROGRAMS I DO  THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT ITEM  AND. IT'S REAL HARD AS WE FLY  TO BE ABLE TO FIND THE MONEY  AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.  >> TO ACQUIRE SOME OF THOSE IN  VIRUS ENVIRONMENTALLY  SENSITIVE PROPERTIES. YOU KNOW  PERHAPS THAT'S AN AGENDA ITEM  THIS MIGHT BE WORTHY BUT BUT  I'M I'M A BIG ADVOCATE. LESS  IS MORE ON THIS AND I THINK IF  WE HAVE 1, 2 OR 3 REAL POINTED  IT MAKES UP. A LOT MORE  IMPACTFUL. JUST MIGHT TAKE. SO  ANYBODY VICE MAYOR JUST GOING  THROUGH THIS AGAIN.  >> YOU KNOW WE'VE GOT.  >> YOU KNOW HOME-RULE  INFRASTRUCTURE MENTAL HEALTH  PORTABLE HOUSING SUNCOAST  TECHNICAL PROPERTY INSURANCE  JAILS JUVENILE JUSTICE. AND  THEN WE GO INTO STUFF WHICH IS  TO BACK AWAY SHUNS ORDERS  WHICH IS NEEDED ENVIRONMENTAL  PARKS AND REC. YOU KNOW WE'VE  JUST ADDED A FEW TOPICS OF  STUFF SO. GOING THROUGH THIS  THE THE SUBSECTION THAT I  DON'T THINK REALLY. I COULDN'T  SUPPORT ANYMORE AS AFFORDABLE  HOUSING AND I DON'T SEE HOW  THAT SHOULD BE UP. PRIORITY  BECAUSE OF THE HOUSING  INDUSTRY WE DO HAVE AFFORDABLE  HOUSING THEY GOING TO BE ABLE  TO DO THAT WE HAVE HOUSING  COMING IN LEAPS AND BOUNDS BY  DEVELOPERS AND STUFF LIKE  THAT. YOU KNOW THE SADOWSKI  FUND IF THERE'S ANY MONEY LEFT  THERE OR NOT I MEAN IT'S USED  I DON'T THINK IT'S PART IT'S  NOT EVEN RELEVANT ANYMORE. FOR  HAVING ME AS A PRIORITY. SO  ALL AND THAT MAY NOT BE THE  PORTS WELL BUT I WOULD MORE  LIKE TO PUT IT MORE OF. YOU  KNOW ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OR  WITH THE PARKS AND RECREATION  YOU KNOW THE THE REGIONAL  TRAILS IN THE LEG. LEGACY  TRAILS THAT'S WHAT WE'RE  WORKING ON RIGHT NOW AND  THAT'S WHAT WE MAY NEED HELP  WITH FINANCIALLY AND AND JUST  SPRUCING UP THE TOWN AND  ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT THE WAY.  TAKING AWAY FROM SOME OF THE  COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT'S  GOING ON. WELL HOUSING  DEVELOPMENT COMMERCIAL  DEVELOPMENT WE NEED BUT WE'VE  GOT TO SOFTEN AS WELL. SO  TALKING ABOUT THIS IS IS LIKE  A GIVE AND TAKE WANT TO SWITCH  SOME OF OUR PRIORITIES. TO  BETTER OFF THE COMMUNITY WITH  OTHER ASK OTHER THAN THE SABAL  SAME. OH YES, WE NEED  STRUCTURE WE NEED A LOT OF  STUFF BUT SOMETIMES WE GOT A  HOLD ON TO OURSELVES. AND MOVE  YOU KNOW WE CAN ALWAYS ASK FOR  HELP BUT. AGAIN WE'VE GOT  PROBLEM YOU KNOW ALMOST TO SEE  IF YOU'RE GOING TO GET OUT  WHAT TO NOW FOR OUR PRIORITIES  WITH ALL THIS STUFF ON THERE.  SO I THINK WE JUST NEED TO CUT  THROUGH AND GET WITH THE JUICY  STUFF. YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S  WHAT I LOOK AT I THINK WE HAVE  WE'VE JUST GOT WAY TOO MUCH  RIGHT HERE, BUT I AGREE WITH A  LOT OF THE THINGS SHOULD BE  THERE. YOU KNOW WE JUST GOT AS  A BOARD WITH DECISION TO  WHITTLE IT DOWN.  >> SUGGESTION MIGHT CONSIDER A  LOT OF THESE ITEMS WHICH  MIRROR THE COUNTY'S PRIORITIES  AND REALLY SET FORTH JUST SO  YOU CAN C IN WRITING WHAT THE  COUNTY'S PRIORITIES WORK AS  YOU POINT OUT ENVIRONMENTAL  SIDE YOU SUPPORTED THAT WHOLE  MENU. PARKS DIRECTOR ALSO  SUPPORT. MAYBE THE ITEMS THAT  ARE THE SAME AS THE COUNTY'S  AGENDA RATHER THAN INCLUDING  THEM IN OUR PRIORITIES. WE CAN  OFFER TO SUPPORT YOU KNOW  OFFER TO WORK WITH THE COUNTY  AND PROVIDE WHATEVER SUPPORT  WOULD HELP THEM IN TERMS  FURTHERING THOSE PRIORITIES  THEY HAVE A LOT MORE MUSCLE  THAN WE DO AND THE CHANCES ARE  THAT THEY WOULD BE MORE  IMPACTFUL IN TERMS OF GETTING  THE LEGISLATION TENSION OF  THESE THINGS THAT WE WOULD.  >> SO MAYBE WE DON'T WANT TO  WASTE OUR BULLETS MAYBE JUST A  SNIPPET ON WE SUPPORT THE  COUNTY'S PRIORITIES ACTS, YOU  KNOW PARKS AND REC IN THE  ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS YOU KNOW  THIS WAY THEY'RE JUST LOOKING  AT BULLET POINTS NOW AND THEN  THEY DON'T HAVE A WHOLE  LAUNDRY LIST SO THAT'S A GREAT  IDEA IS GO AHEAD ALL OF THEM  EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE ALL HERE  THIS IS WHAT THE COUNTY WE  AGREE WITH THE COUNTY AND WE  WANT WANT TO BE ON BOARD WITH  THE COUNTY. WHICH ALSO SHOWS  GOOD FAITH WITH AND THE COUNTY  TRIED TO WORK TOGETHER ON THE  THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR NOW SO  FAR POSSESS UP TO AN INCH IS  GOING SPARK THINK THAT TO  MISTER LEVIN YOU'RE ALL  >> YEAH I WAS ACTUALLY GOING  TO SUGGEST A SIMILAR APPROACH  SO. ONE OF THE THINGS I I  WOULD SUGGEST IS MAYBE  COLLAPSING ENVIRONMENTAL AND  NATURAL RESOURCES INTO ONE  CATEGORY. AND I LIKE HAVING A  STATEMENT THE CITY OF NOT PUT  SUPPORT ALL OF THE PRIORITIES  SARASOTA COUNTY AND PARTICULAR  AND THEN IDENTIFIED THE 2 OR 3  THAT ARE MOST SPECIFIC TO THE  CITY I LOOK AT ENVIRONMENTAL  ALGAE BLOOMS GAS EXPLORATION  DERELICT VESSEL, NONE OF THAT  REALLY IT'S IT'S IMPORTANT I  SUPPORT THEM CRITICAL FOR THE  COUNTY. BUT NOT REALLY  SPECIFIC TO THE CITY. BUT THAT  LAST ONE OPPOSED LIMITATIONS  ON THE ABILITY TO REGULATE  WETLANDS EXCEPT FOR A. LEGACY  TRAIL CONNECTORS SUPPORT THE  FUNDING OF THE FLORIDA FOREVER  PROGRAM. THOSE THOSE OF THE 3  THAT JUMP OUT AT ME AS HAVING  THE MOST IMPACT TO THE CITY.  SO AGAIN I THINK THAT'S ALL OF  THESE ARE IMPORTANT, BUT IF WE  COULD NOW THE CITY OF NOT PUT  SUPPORTS ALL OF THE COUNTY  PRIORITIES AND PROTECTING THE  ENVIRONMENT AND OUR NATURAL  RESOURCES IN PARTICULAR. I  THINK THAT COLLAPSE THAT WHOLE  AREA AND A WAY THAT WOULD HAVE  AN IMPACT AND LOOKING AT THE  OTHER PRIORITIES. YOU KNOW WE  HAVE ALL ACKNOWLEDGED MULTIPLE  TIMES THAT INFRASTRUCTURE IS  SO CRITICAL. I THINK THAT  NEEDS TO BE ONE OF THEM. AND I  THINK THE 3. WELL. I'LL JUST  THROW IT OUT THERE I THINK THE  WHITENING OF LOCAL ROADS. VICE  MAYOR JUST HAD AN EXPERIENCE  YESTERDAY TRYING TO GET TO THE  MPO MEETING AND SARASOTA BY  THE YEAR WHAT I HAD A VERY  SIMILAR EXPERIENCE TO A 3  MONTHS AGO. WHEN THERE'S  TROUBLE ON 7540 WON GETS  BOGGED DOWN. THERE IS NO WAY  TO GET OUT THE CITY AND HEAD  NORTH. OUR INLAND THAT'S US E  PROPOSITION. AND SO I JUST  COME BACK TO AND AND I KNOW  IT'S UNPOPULAR BECAUSE THAT  WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH  CONSERVATION LAND BUT  EXTENDING TOLEDO BLADE TO 72  IS SO VITALLY IMPORTANT. AS AN  EVACUATION ROUTE. WE HAVE TO  FIGURE OUT THAT AND THAT HAS  REGIONAL IMPACT I MEAN IT'S  DESOTO COUNTY AND SARASOTA  COUNTY AND CHARLOTTE COUNTY.  THAT'S GOT TO BE ONE OF. WAR  PRIORITIES AND GIVEN THE  AMOUNT OF DEVELOPMENT GOING ON  AND THAT NORTHEAST QUADRANT OF  TOLEDO BLADE AND 75. WE WE  REALLY NEED TO. FOCUS ON THAT  SO INFRASTRUCTURE WOULD BE ONE  OF MY PRIORITIES AND THEN THE  NEXT ONE FOR ME. PROPERTY  INSURANCE IF THERE'S PAIN I  SEE IN THE CITY AND  EVERYWHERE. IT'S THE CRAZY  INCREASES AND PROPERTY  INSURANCE I DON'T KNOW HOW  SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS SO THAT  NOT MY AREA OF EXPERTISE BUT  TO COME UP WITH SOME SPECIFIC  RECOMMENDATIONS OF YOU KNOW  MAYBE CAPS OR LIMITS OF HOW  FAST PROPERTY INSURER. I DON'T  KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT ANSWER IS.  BUT THOSE ARE THE BUT 3 AREAS  THE KIND OF POP OUT.  >> IN FACT I MEAN WON'T  COMMENT ABOUT PROPERTY  INSURANCE AS ISSUE. IF WE'RE  TRYING TO BOIL THIS DOWN INTO  SEVERAL SPECIFICS. THAT TOPIC  MY OWN VIEW THIS STRIKES ME AS  THE SORT OF UNIVERSAL FEELING  ABOUT THE STATEWIDE NATIONALLY  PERHAPS BUT CERTAINLY  STATEWIDE TO REID I MEAN MAYBE  YOU DON'T WANT USE ONE OF OUR  SLOTS FOR SOMETHING THAT  EVERYBODY IN THE STATE AGREES  WITH THE SIGN THAT MAY NOT BE  IMPORTANT TO US THAT'S HEAR  THAT I MEAN I THINK IT'S  KNOWLEDGE UNRECOGNIZED STATE  LEGIS TO SLIGHT SURE HAS MADE  SOME ATTEMPTS TO ADDRESS IT.  >> NOT AT ALL CLEAR THAN  ANYTHING REALLY PRODUCTIVE AND  SPECIFIC HAS COME OUT OF THAT.  YEAH I COULD BE DISSUADED FOR  THAT. THE OTHER ONE THAT  REALLY POPS UP AT ME. IS UNDER  HOME RULE OF ALL I DON'T THINK  THAT'S THE LABEL I WOULD USE  AND THAT'S TO OPPOSE  PREEMPTION OF LOCAL CONTROL  REGARDING LAND USE  DEVELOPMENT. ABOUT SO. THAT  MAY ALSO.  >> FOLLOWING THE SIMILAR  CATEGORY THINK EVERYBODY  STATEWIDE TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT  LEVEL SHARES THAT VIEW AND  CERTAINLY FLC IS ALMOST  DEDICATED AS AN ORGANIZATION  TO THAT MISSION HAVE  PHILOSOPHY THAT I THINK WE  REALLY NEED TO SUPPORT BECAUSE  WE'VE BEEN TRAMPLED. AND I  JUST THINK THAT'S AN  IMPORTANT.  >> ANYWAY, YOU KNOW. MISTER  BELL.  >> YES, I JUST WANT TO.  COMMISSIONER LIKE THAT AT A  STORE WITH UNDER A LITTLE BIT.  I'D LIKE THAT.  >> CONCUR WITH HER.  >> ABOVE THE NEED FOR THAT  EXTENSION AND ALSO THE.  DEVELOPMENT OF THE. EXIT 75.  IN NEW YORK, YOUR AREA. WHAT  PUSH IT SOMETHING TALKED ABOUT  CAMPAIGN. IS THE WORKERS. SHE  MENTIONED. IN TIMES MAJOR 75  COLD OKAY, THOSE ARE  EVACUATION ROUTES. TOLEDO  BLADE. COULD A SO THIS IS  GOOD. TO THE MIDDLE PART OF  THE STATE. YOU'RE SURE THIS IS  WHERE LEGISLATIVELY. WORLD  WITH ANOTHER COMMUNITY. YOU'RE  SURE IT. WE EVACUATED PEOPLE  FROM PORT WELL. I FEEL THAT  IT'S IMPORTANT TO LET OUR.  STATE AND SEVERAL LEGISLATORS.  NO NOW. WE'RE GOING NEED THE  MONEY AND IT'S IT'S A SAFETY  ISSUE THAT MAY BE. IT'S A  LITTLE AS A SAFETY ISSUE YOU  FOR DISASTERS WITH HURRICANES  SO WE CAN GET BACK IN THE BABY  THE MONEY A LITTLE BIT EASIER.  >> I NOTICED TODAY WHEN  DECEMBER SECOND MEETING AGENDA  CAME OUT THAT THAT'S A MAJOR  TOPIC I BELIEVE. INCLUDING  LOOK THAT LOOKS LIKE A REPORT  ALL OF ASPECTS OF WITH THE MPO  IS DOING WHERE THE STATE DOT  IS. THAT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING  THAT'S GOING TO BE COMING FOR  YOU AGAIN VERY SOON. AND  YOU'LL BE ABLE TO TRY TO CATCH  UP ON ALL THE EFFORTS. THE  CITY HAS BEEN MAKING WITH ITS  PARTNERS TO PURSUE THAT WHAT  YOU KNOW OBSTACLES THERE ARE  TO EXPEDITE.  >> TRYING PULL TOGETHER A  LITTLE BIT OF WHAT EVERYBODY  SAID. LET'S SEE WHERE WE YOU  KNOW TOMORROW WE HAVE THE  INFRASTRUCTURE WITH STORM  WATER MANAGEMENT. AND THEN  ALSO WITH ROAD CONNECTIVITY  WHICH INVOLVE TO LEAD OAKS  TOLEDO IN YOUR EXTENSIONS, I  MEAN. TO ME UNDER THAT  CATEGORY THOSE THOSE 2  SUBTITLES SOMEWHAT IMPORTANT  SEEMS TO EVERYONE ON THIS  COMMISSION. 2 I ASSUME PEOPLE  ARE SUPPORTIVE OF POLICE  HEADQUARTERS. YOU KNOW THAT'S  WHAT WEIGHING IN FRUIT TO THE  EXTENT THE STATE CAN PART WITH  SOME MONEY FOR US THAT WOULD  BE HUGE. CERTAINLY THE THE  ENVIRONMENTAL. ISSUES OF  SENSITIVE LAND AND AND AND  LEGACY TRAIL WERE GENERAL  BASIS AND THEN THE 4TH BE IN  SUPPORTING THE COUNTY  PRIORITIES. LET ME ASK YOU  MISTER MILES WHAT'S. ARE WE IN  A POSITION TO TO TRY PUT IN  MOTION TOGETHER TO SPECIFY THE  YOU WANT TO GO BACK AND AND WE  WORK THESE BASED ON INPUT  YOU'VE GOTTEN FROM COMMISSION  AND RESPECT WE HAVE THAT TIME  FLEXIBILITY.  >> I LIKE TO SEE MY PREFERENCE  WOULD BE TRYING TO ASSIMILATE  ALL OF THIS AND FORMULATE THIS  BOIL IT DOWN INTO SEVERAL  SPECIFICS THAT INCORPORATE ALL  THE COMMENTS TONIGHT. IF WELL  BEFORE THAT TO SUMMER 10  MEETING SO THAT YOU CAN  REFLECT ON HOPEFULLY TO 10  COMMUNITY WE CAN. NO REALLY  POLISHED  >> CITY MANAGER AND CITY CLERK  THAT MAKE SENSE. MY FELLOW  COMMISSIONERS THAT MIGHT MAKE  WE CAN LOOK AT SOMETHING A  LITTLE MORE OWNED TRYING MAKE  IT A LITTLE FOR US TO. MAKE A  MOTION. MAKE IT ABOUT THAT.  >> AND WOULD YOU SEND THE  LITTLE BUTTER DOWN VERSION TO  US MEMO, SO WE'VE GOT SAID  PRIOR TO SO REALLY OUR POPPY  ALL YOU WANT THAT THAT WOULD  BE AWESOME THEN WE CAN LOOK TO  IT, I MEAN WE MAY WANT TO  CHECK SOME MORE THINGS OFF OR  MAY NOT BUT THAT THAT SOUNDS  LIKE A GREAT SIR.  >> ALL RIGHT THEN WE DON'T  NEED A MOTION ON CITY ANY  PUBLIC COMMENTS.  >> OR OR BEFORE WE LEAVE THIS  ITEM THINK THERE WAS ONE  HOUSEKEEPING SO TO SPEAK FOR  SARASOTA.  >> DELEGATION, WHICH IS  CHAIRED THIS YEAR THESE ARE  THE STATE LEGISLATORS WHO  REPRESENT SARASOTA COUNTY. SO  YOU REPRESENTATIVE MCFARLAND  SHARING THE DELEGATION. YOU  HAVE REPRESENTATIVE BUCHANAN.  AND I THINK OF AS A NEWLY  ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE. SEEMED  OUT HERE WHO ARE  >> REPRESENT ALL UP THEN NEXT  REPRESENTATIVE GRANT'S PLACE  IN THAT DISTRICT WHICH  ENCOMPASSES A SMALL PIECE OF  PORT.  >> THEY HAVE INVITED THE MAYOR  ON BEHALF OF THE CITY TO  PRESENT AS THEY HAVE IN THE  PAST. SO LIMITED OPPORTUNITY.  THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER  SPEAKERS THAT WILL BE THERE  FOR MANY OTHER COMMUNITIES. I  THINK YOU HAVE PAY ABOUT 10  MINUTES AND SO I THINK ARE  HOPELESS TONIGHT THAT IT COULD  BE A CONSENSUS. AMONG THE  COMMISSION AS TO WHAT ONE TOP.  IF YOU WANT TO USE HUMAN USE  OR 10 MINUTES TO REALLY AND  TOPIC, ONE TOPICS FROM THESE  PRIORITIES. YOU WANT TO BRING  TO THE PERSONAL ATTENTION  GIVEN AND YOU GET YOU'RE GOING  TO HAVE ON SUMMER 16TH. WE  NEED TO FILE THAT REQUEST  FORM. SECOND SO YOU KNOW TO BE  EFFECTIVE WE REALLY NEED  AGREEMENT TONIGHT PRESENTATION  FOCUS ON.  >> I JUMPED RIGHT ON THIS ONE,  SO I'M GOING BREAK WITH  PROTOCOL AND GO FIRST BECAUSE  I AM VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THE  ITEM I THINK WE'RE SPEAKING TO  AND THEN OF COURSE MY FELLOW  COMMISSIONERS CAN WEIGH IN AND  WE CAN DECIDE WHERE EVERYBODY  FEELS THAT THE MAJORITY OF  STORMWATER MANAGEMENT I I JUST  BELIEVE SO PASSIONATELY THAT  THIS IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT ITEM  FOR NOT JUST OUR MUNICIPALITY  EVERY MUNICIPALITY IN  SOUTHWEST FLORIDA IN THE  COUNTY AS WELL AND I REALLY  THINK THIS THE TIME TO HAMMER  IT HOME IN EVERY WAY SHAPE AND  FORM THERE'S ALL KINDS OF  MONEY AT THE FEDERAL AND STATE  LEVELS IF WE CAN GET OUR 3  REPRESENTATIVES WORKING IN  CONJUNCTION TO BRING US MONEY  DOWN HERE WHAT THOSE PROJECTS  ARE MAY YET TO DETERMINED. BUT  BOY OH BOY THEY NEED TO KNOW  THE TIME IS NOW FOR FOR  SENATOR GRUTERS TO COME DOWN  HERE AND TOUR SARASOTA A  NUMBER OF MONTHS. AFTER THE  STORM THAT HIT THE MID COUNTY  AND TO SAY OH MY GOD LOOK AT  MEAN.  >> YOU KNOW SHE PEOPLE ON THE  SET REALIZING MANY STORMS.  FIRST AND THEY YOU KNOW WE WE  ARE NOT GOING AVOID THAT'S  AREA OF THIS COUNTRY GOING TO  BE FACING THE SAME PLACE THERE  EVER A TIME TO BOW TO SHAPED  MONEY TREE. IT NOW WOULD BE  THE TIME SLUM. S THE AGENDA  ITEM BUT. VICE MAYOR.  >> I JUST WANTED YOU TO MAKE  SURE YOU ARE SURE YOU WANTED  HIM TO GO.  >> NOW  >> THAT'S A GOOD TOPIC I WOULD  AGREE WITH THAT ABSOLUTELY.  >> YEAH, I MEAN I THINK I'M  ALL FOR PACKAGING.  >> YOU KNOW, SO SOMETHING LIKE  TO PUT THE IMPROVEMENT AND  REPAIR OF CRITICAL  INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IMPACT  PUBLIC SAFETY AND BULLET POINT  EXTENSION OF TOLEDO BLADE  REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT, THE REDS  OF LAW STATE FUNDING FOR  POLICE HEADQUARTERS AND WE CAN  JAM IN ONE OTHER SO I SEE SORT  OF A BIG CLUMP. AND THEN FOR  ME THE OTHER A CLUMP AND  THAT'S KIND OF. TO YOUNG AND  YANG. SAME KIND OF THING BUT  ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND  NATURAL RESOURCES SIDE SO I  THINK THOSE CAN BE. THAT WOULD  BE MY SUGGESTION FOR THE MAJOR  TOPICAL AREAS AND THEN  WHATEVER WE FEEL OF THE  HIGHEST PRIORITY AND ARE HERE  WE POINT THEM UNDER THOSE  OBJECTIVES.  >> SO YOU SOMETHING BACK INTO  HOW TO FORMULATE LEGISLATIVE  PRIORITIES IN GENERAL WHEN WE  COME BACK YOU WANT TO PICK ONE  I WOULD GO WITH  INFRASTRUCTURE, YEAH,  DEFINITELY REALLY ONLY STRONG  WATER IS I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER  IF WE GOT 10 MINUTES MIGHT  EVEN BEEN WEST, I'M TRYING TO  REMEMBER BUT I THINK IT WAS  WHERE HE WAS PRETTY BRIEF AND  THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE  THAT CHAMBER IS PAT. YEAH WITH  THE POLICE AND WAYS TO LOOK AT  STORM WATER.  >> MANAGEMENT BASED ON  EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN SAID  TONIGHT AND BACK ON SEPTEMBER  9. THERE'S THE SPECIFIC  INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS THE CITY  HAS WATER CONTROL STRUCTURES  AND THIS WAS THE TOPIC THAT  MAYOR WHY PRESENTED LAST YEAR.  SHE WE HAD A GREAT HOW MANY OF  THEM WE HAVE ALL IN NEED OF OF  MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR OF ONE  FORM OR ANOTHER AND SO THE  BILL FOR ALL OF US JUST  ASTRONOMICAL. BUT THERE HAS  ALSO BEEN DISCUSSION HERE  ABOUT THE REGIONAL RESERVOIR  SOLUTION SOLUTION TO THE  MANAGEMENT STORM WATER IN THE  WAKE OF HURRICANES. SO ARE YOU  LOOKING TO COMBINE THOSE 2 ARE  EMPHASIZED ONE VERSUS THE  OTHER IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT  STORM MONDAY.  >> WELL IT'S INTERESTING YOU  BRING UP LAST YEAR SPEAK WITH  US. I THINK WELL AT LEAST IT'S  MY OPINION THAT. WHEN WE SPEAK  YET. A FAMILY LIKE THIS. A  FORUM LIKE THIS AND WE TALK  ABOUT OUR SPECIFIC CITY NEED.  THEY HEAR THAT I SAT THROUGH.  NOW A COUPLE YEARS OF  LISTENING TO VARIOUS  MUNICIPALITY SINCE AND  INTEREST GROUPS COME BEFORE  THEM AND EVERYBODY THEIR  SPECIFIC AGENDAS. LOOK AT HOW  EFFECTIVE THE COUNTY WAS WITH  THE SRQ. CAN CREATE THAT  ENOUGH RESIDENTS WITH THEM  THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A A  LARGE POOL OF DOLLARS FINDS  ITS WAY TO SOUTH COUNTY WERE  TO SOUTH WEST FLORIDA THROUGH  THE COUNTY'S. THEN PERHAPS  THERE CAN BE SOMETHING  SIMILAR. AND AND I WOULD KEEP  GENERAL I WOULD KEEP IT  REGIONAL BECAUSE. IT WILL  HELP. ORDER THAT REGIONAL  SUPPORT WHICH IS I THINK  REALLY WHAT WE NEED. TOOK TO  MAKE AN IMPACT ON OUR ON OUR  REPRESENTATIVES WHEN WE TALK  ABOUT ALONE. CITY NEED IT KIND  OF GETS LOST WITH THAT SHIFTY  OTHER MUNICIPALITIES ARE ALL  DOING THE SAME JUST  STRATEGICALLY I THINK IT'S  IT'S A BIGGER PICTURE VIEW  IT'S LIKE YEA, PEOPLE ARE  NODDING THEIR HEADS WHEN  YOU'RE TALKING IN GENERAL  WE HELP WORKGROUP AND SO I  KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO DO A  WONDERFUL JOB PULLING TOGETHER  THE TALKING POINTS BECAUSE THE  LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO IS  LET ME OUT THERE LIVE SO I'M  LOOKING TOGETHER, IT'S LOVE  THEM. YOU KNOW I DON'T KNOW  WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE THINKS  ABOUT THAT. BUT.  >> WELL THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE  GOING TO KEEP IT 3 MINUTES. WE  THAT.  >> ONE OF THE THINGS YOU SAID  THAT REALLY RESONATED WITH ME  MAYOR WAS REALLY EMPHASIZING  THOSE THINGS BUT THE REGIONAL  IMPACT.  >> AND I THINK.  >> WITH ALL DUE RESPECT BLAME  MYSELF I TEND TO BE A LITTLE  MYOPIC.  >> WHEN IT COMES TO THE CITY  IN ON SODA VERY FOCUSED ON  WHAT WE NEED I GUESS THAT'S  OUR WHEN WE'RE IN ENVIRONMENTS  WHERE PEOPLE ARE GRAPPLING  WITH ISSUES AT MORE MACRO  LEVEL. I IT LOOKS GOOD FOR US.  IF WE CAN PRESENT OUR NEEDS IN  TERMS OF REALLY HAVING A  BETTER. MICHELLE IMPACT ON THE  BROADER COMMUNITY STARTED THIS  YEAR EVEN AT THE COUNTY LEVEL  WITH ONE OR 2.  >> COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.  PARROTING THE SAME MONTREZL  AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT YOU  KNOW CELLS WILL NEVER SHAKE  THAT BUT IF WE COULD GO A  WHOLE BUNCH WE CAN GET I  VENICE AND INGLEWOOD OURSELVES  SARASOTA AND THE COUNTY ALL  SHAKEN IT TOGETHER. WE MIGHT  WELL HAVE SOME SIGNIFICANT  IMPACT. ANYBODY ELSE. VICE  MAYOR. WELL IN JUST A.  >> DO WITH YOU ON THE REGIONAL  ASPECT OF IT AS THE  LEGISLATORS THAT ARE DOWN HERE  WORKING FOR US STATE LEVEL.
