[Music] So, I always get very excited when anybody asks me about my job and where I work and what I do. It's not a secret that I love working for the city of Northport. I worked for Charlotte County and I felt that I needed to do something
different and I wanted something more and I wanted to offer my skills. So I I told my friend I'm I'm don't know what to do and I was thinking about my next steps and she said, "Maria, did you think about applying to a job at the city of Northport? They have a different vibe here and she says, "I'd love it."
And I said, "Oh, I didn't think about that." So I applied and I started my first position in a planning and zoning in our development services department. I'm partnered with the building department because my my the fees are assessed off of the building permits and
it's strictly for new construction, new development. And uh the first thing I do is to check the spreadsheet to look at the permits and determine which ones need me to estimate their impact fees. And that's where I start with that. Then
I go to numbers that I have to put together and I put together the invoices for our developers. Oftentimes I'll get phone calls to give quotes before their um the development comes through and so developers want to know how much they
can budget for. So sometimes I put through proposed estimates to help them with that. And the bulk of it is is making sure that the fees are in the system as fast as possible. I love the aspree decor that I experience. Just how
everybody team work together. I uh enjoy knowing that I'm can make a difference for the city and that my position can have a positive impact in for our city. [Music] Oh, you're swimming in the pool.
[Music] [Music] Don't. [Music] I'm Stacy Losio. I am the emergency management coordinator for the city of Northport. And we're going to talk about why it's important to have a go kit and
what should go inside of it. It's important to have a go bag because if you wait last minute to pack, there are definitely going to be items that you are going to forget in the scramble to get everything put together. So, it's important to have your documents such as IDs, insurance paperwork, titles for
your home and your vehicles and your boats just so that if your home does flood or your roof blows off, all those documents are with you and they're safe because you don't want to end up losing those and having to try to replace those later on. Also, in your go bag, you should think about what medications you
might need to have ahead of time. If we're under a state of emergency, you are able to refill your prescriptions ahead of time, even if they're not due yet. So, it's important to do that. Also, in your go bags, you should have non-p perishable food, flashlight,
batteries, a radio that is battery powered, and extra batteries. Should all power go out, we will be able to broadcast on 97.5 FM anything uh any emergency information. So, be sure to have your battery powered radio ready
and tuned in to 97.5. Good afternoon everybody. Today is Thursday, May 1st, 2025. It's 400 p. am. We're in city chambers and I call the city commission regular meeting to order. Commissioners present are Commissioner Dval, Mr. Langden, Mayor

All right, let's see. Anybody from utilities department want to come down? All right. [Music] Whereas water is our most valuable natural resource. And whereas tap water delivers public health protection, fire
protection, support for our economy, and the quality of life we enjoy. And whereas the hard work performed by the entire water sector, designing capital projects, operators ensuring the safety and quality of drinking water or a member of a pipe crew and maintaining
infrastructure. Communities rely or communities rely on to transport highquality drinking water from its source to consumers taps. And whereas the corona virus pandemic has shown a light on the importance of drinking water for health,
hydration and hygiene needs. And whereas we are all stewards of the water infrastructure upon which current and future generations depend. And whereas each citizen of our community is called upon to help protect our source waters from pollution, to practice water
conservation, and to get involved in local water issues. Now therefore, we the city commission of the city of Northport, Florida, do hereby proclaim May 4th through May 10th, 2025 as

day? Okay. Whereas this day is dedicated to raising awareness of those affected by family abduction. These abductions have a devastating impact causing deep emotional and psychological trauma not
only to the abducted child but also to the left behind parent and extended family. Such events often disrupt family stability and trust with far-reaching effects on the broader community. While non-family abduct abductions account for
only 1% of missing child reports to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, family abductions make up a significantly larger share of these cases. And whereas May serves as a pitiful time to combat family
abductions, reunite missing children with their family, and recognize those dedicated to protecting society's most vulnerable. This month offers an opportunity to raise awareness, support affected families, and strengthen
community efforts to prevent future abductions. And whereas a family abduction occurs when a child is taken, wrongfully retained, or concealed by a parent or a family member denying another individual their rights to
custody or visitation, even in cases with unclear or absent court orders. Such abductions are often driven by the perpetrator's frustration with the left behind parent, the legal system, or personal
circumstances. And whereas the city of Northport is committed to remaining vigilant and informed about the dangers facing children in our community, recognizing that family abduction is a serious crime in all states, not merely
a civil matter. Law enforcement officers should treat these incidents as severe forms of child abuse rather than minor offenses. And whereas it is incumbent upon law enforcement agencies to have
written plans outlining actions and procedures for promptly addressing family abduction cases. Courts have determined that law enforcement must ensure children are with their lawful custodians and verify the validity of
any court orders as failure to establish necessary training and policies pose a threat to public saf safety. Now therefore, we, the city commission of the city of Northport, Florida, do hereby proclaim May 25th,
2025 as Family Abduction Awareness Day. The Northport Police Department is encouraged to conduct community outreach initiatives to educate residents about the prevalence, risks, and con
consequences of family abduction, and to provide guidance on warning signs, preventative measures, and available resources to effectively address this critical issue. Thank you. We must have some public clerk people
