again. Next up, we have a resolution of the city of Ovido for the Central Florida Pledge. And it reads as follows. Whereas Ovidito is a city for all regardless of faith, race, gender, ethnicity, culture,
beliefs, or identity. And whereas we, the city council of the city of Ovito, Florida, stand in support and care for our residents, businesses, neighbors, and visitors. And whereas we pledge to work to eliminate all forms of
persecution directed toward anyone who resides in our city here in Central Florida. And whereas we unite with strength and resilience because of our respect for others within our very diverse population. And whereas we are committed to protecting and valuing our
residents, businesses, neighbors, and visitors, especially those who are threatened. And whereas we pledge to keep Ovido and Central Florida safe for all who live here and for future generations. Now therefore, be it resolved by the
city council of the city of Ovito, Florida, that the mayor and city council on behalf of the entire Ovito community pledge that we will lead by example, treating all people with dignity and respect, especially those with whom we
disagree. We will refrain from inflammatory words or actions and actively support those being attacked. We will report threatening incidents of hate and violence to 1 800423 TIPS.
We will educate ourselves about all forms of discrimination, including anti-semitism, homophobia, islamophobia, racism, and help others in our sphere of influence do the same. presented this
15th day of December 2025 to the Central Florida Pledge. Uh I guess we call the sort of the chairman. That's what I was thinking. Dr. Joel Hunter. Thank you so much for being here. So this off
Thank you. Thank you. >> Did you want to share just a quick word? >> Well, just first of all, Ovido is a pioneer in this in Semino County. It's the first city to adopt as a city uh the Central Florida
pledge. Um but secondly, it reminds us that city government isn't just for passing policy. It it's responsible to set the entire climate and culture of the city. uh and in doing this uh respecting all persons especially those
with whom we disagree it helps us not only build a safety component um for disagreement. I mean this is this this heightens the possibility of free speech because you will be respected no matter
what you believe. but it also um shows a devotion uh of city unity and togetherness uh as we go into the future. So, thank you for what you've done and thank you council people for being uh leaders. We appreciate you.
>> Thank you. >> All right. And with that, we're going to pull this back over back. All right, with that we will move on to the approval of our minutes. What is the pleasure of council? >> I'll make a motion to approve the minutes for November 17th, 2025 regular
session. >> Second. We have a motion and a second. Any discussion? >> All those in favor, please signify by saying I. >> I. >> I. >> The motion carries. We'll move on to our public comment section. I do have a few written requests to speak. So when I call your name, please come up to the
podium. And I have a couple for some resolutions. So I will call you up if you were on here for a resolution for that item. Um so the first one I have up here is let me go in order here.
All right. Uh Rabbi Capra. Thank you. My name is Rabbi Maurice Capro. My professional address is post office box 195233 in Winter Springs. I am a Winter Springs, Florida resident,
but since Ovido and Winter Springs are neighbors, we are sister cities. Uh it's a pleasure to come and speak with you. Today is the second night of Kaneka and I think everybody in in light of what
Mayor Slater just read that resolution, the Central Florida Pledge, uh what I'm about to say I think is absolutely gerine. Uh all of us were shocked and saddened by what happened the other day
in Sydney, Australia, where hundreds of Jews who were trying to celebrate Khaneka on Bondai Beach uh were attacked by uh by a by a gunman or two gunmen and
numerous people were killed. It all stems back to anti-semitism. And anti-semitism is one of those things that you all just pledged to help eliminate in your Central Florida pledge.
I serve on the Jewish Community Relations Council for the Jewish Federation of Greater Orlando. It's currently called Scholom Orlando. and we had a couple of years ago taken
on the uh inter the international holocaust remembrance allianc's working definition of anti-semitism. Uh this the county of Orange passed it. Uh a number of other cities have passed it. The city of Winter Springs passed it
in 2003. I shared it with Mayor Slick and I asked her to please present it to you in the hopes that you too will accept and will will adopt as a resolution the uh the
inter the definition of anti-semitism as provided by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance of which the United States is a member. Uh I appreciate your time. I thank you very much for your attention. >> Thank you. >> Thank you.
Um, up next I have Anatoma and Libian. Hello, I'm Anna Toma. Um, I'm here on the observer core of the League of Women Voters of Simol County and I want to introduce my colleague Liba Lions who's going to share my duties in in that task. So, I'll let her introduce
herself. Oh, I'm at 924 Woodrest Way in Ovido. >> And I'm Liba Lions. I'm at 1964 South Prairie Dunes Court in Ovido. And I just say thank you for all that you're doing and for putting yourselves in this position of serving your community.
Greatly appreciated. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Appreciate that. >> Okay. The other two I have are for a later resolution. Is there anyone in the audience that would like to address council at this time? If so, please come up to the podium.
Hearing none, I will close public comment and we will move on to the consent agenda. What is the pleasure of councel? >> I move we approve consent agenda items five through eight and number 10 and move number nine to
I guess that would be item number 14.5. Yeah. uh 14 B 14A >> if we could make it be 10.5 I know that is out of order but that might be a a crowd-friendly idea to try
>> Mr. I guess I will ask on this one since it's a resolution. >> Well, you currently do not have any public hearings or first reading. So, >> right, >> the our order of business says put it in the resolution section. You could
>> put it as the first part, the first item of resolutions. >> Okay. So, make it like let's go with 10. >> Perfect. >> 10. Yes. Okay. All right. >> Item number nine going to 10A. Is there anything else anybody would like to remove before we vote on the consent agenda? Okay. So, and that was a motion.
Correct. >> Yes. >> Do we have a second? >> Second. >> We have a motion in a second. Any discussion? >> No. >> Okay. I will ask the clerk to call the role. >> Mayor Slick. >> I. >> Council member Bford. >> I. >> Deputy Mayor Tuker. >> I.
>> Council member Britain. >> I. >> Council member Tot. >> I. >> The motion carries. So, we will move on to item 10A. That was previously item number nine. Resolution number 4681-25, the naming of Citizens Lane. Mr. Cob.
>> Uh, thank you, Deputy Mayor. This is a request for council to approve the naming of the uh Geneva Drive to State Route 44 Connector Road as Citizens Lane. Uh, if you remember, the city council commissioned a survey of uh of street names from the residents. We
received an it was outstanding 271 entries that the city received. Uh for that we went through an extensive review uh with the county uh naming ordinance and with county 911. Uh the city council
reviewed the names at its October 27th work session and the consensus for with in looking at the ordinance and then the consensus at the work session was to name the uh the connector road after Citizens Bank and Citizens Lane. Uh, it
is recommended that city council adopt resolution number 4681-25. >> Thank you, Mr. Cobb. Uh, what is the pleasure council? >> I move we adopt resolution number 4681-25. >> Second. >> We have a motion and a second. Any
discussion? I think this is a great name and it it in incorporates not only history, but it's just a cool sounding name that even if you don't know the history, it includes the entire community. So, I'm really excited that we picked a name
that hits all all of the things. >> No, I was glad. I mean, we had what 271 entries. Um, it was an interesting process obviously learning what you could and couldn't do naming roads that could name like other people or it sounds like something else within the
county, but I'm glad we settled on on Citizens uh Lane. So, you know, again, a a great organization that was here uh uh and still resonates throughout the community. >> Council member Britain, >> it's a it's it's a good uh throwback to
our heritage and our history. So, Tim, congratulations. I think it's great. >> All right. I will ask the clerk to call the role. >> Mayor Slick. >> I. >> Council member Bford. >> I. >> Deputy Mayor Tuker. >> I. >> Council member Britain.
>> I. >> Council member. >> I. >> The motion carries. And did you want to >> if we've got a few people here who know the history of the bank, I would love to do a quick little picture down front with everybody to to marry today. Thanks. Thank you all.
>> Okay. Okay. And while we got these guys up here, we need to have a one minute history of Citizens Bank and why it is such a big deal for us here at Ovito. >> In 19 in 1946, the citizens of Ovito did not have a bank. They had to drive all
the way to Sanford and of course there was robberies along the along the way as you can imagine. So the citizens of Ovido got together and had a picnic, a barbecue picnic and decided to form
their own bank and they were able to ga uh gather the community together and form their own bank and we were very proud to the these my friends here, my co-workers. Um, I I worked 45 years
there. Spent my whole life there. And Gloria spent >> 33 years. >> And Tim, >> 25 >> 25. So, um, we're like a family there. And we did support our whole community. >> And for those of you who don't know who
this is, this is Liz Alen, as in Andrew, who named Oto. So, she married into the family. And this is Gloria Duner and Tim Slatterie. So, we're so glad you guys could come and help us commemorate today. >> Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. All right, we'll move on to item number 13, resolution number 4677-25, the right ofway vacate the survey of John Adams Estate. Mr. Cobb. >> Uh, thank you, Deputy Mayor. Maline, can
you put the map up onto the screen? Uh, council, you remember at your October 6th meeting, you gave direction for the staff to uh uh process the vacation of approximately 107 ft of an unnamed driveway uh between East Franklin Street
and Geneva Drive. This is the area that is list that is shown in purple is the unnamed driveway. It's approximately 24 ft in width. Uh there is a portion as you can see up there above to the north that is adjacent to Geneva Drive that will remain right ofway so that uh
parcel 34A will have access to a public street. Uh that is one of the things that when you're doing a vacation you want to make sure that you're not uh creating non-conforming lots and uh if we had gone all the way up it it would have cut the public access off from that
lot. So the area that is in sort of the grayish color that uh will remain public right away, but the area that is uh and shown in purple will be uh will be vacated if this resolution is uh is adopted. Uh the city staff did do a
review of the of the ride ofway. They contacted uh the utility companies and found that there are no utilities within the ride ofway. Uh the staff based on its review found no public purpose for this ride of way. Uh therefore it is recommended that the
city council uh takes p take public comment and adopt resolution number 46757-25. >> Thank you Mr. Cop. I do have two written requests to speak. So when I call your name please come up to the podium. Uh the first one I have is Rodney Wilson.
>> Oh, you can come on up. It's fine. >> Are you Glenda Wilson? >> I am. >> Okay. My second sheet. >> All right. Thank you so much for having us today and I really do appreciate I spoke with Mr. Cobb. Um thank you guys for considering um the vacating that um
area in the back. And um on behalf of Cora May White um that started the business and everything, she really appreciate it and we really appreciate everything that you guys have done. Thank you so much. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> So that was my second request. So Mr.
Rodney Wilson, you don't want to speak up here. Okay. Thank you. Um I don't have any other written requests. Is there anyone else in the audience that would like to address council on this matter? I will close public comment. Uh what is the pleasure of councel? >> I move we adopt resolution 4677-24.
>> Have a motion. Is there a second? >> I'll second. >> Any discussion? It is not going to be used by the city. That is for sure. And it can be a whole lot more use to the adjacent property owners. Council Britain.
>> I'm good. Thank you. >> I'm good. I have nothing to >> Okay. We will ask the clerk to call the role. >> Mayor Slick. >> I. Council member Britain. >> I. >> Deputy mayor. >> I. >> Council member Otterford. >> I. >> Council member Pot
>> I. The motion carries. Thank you. We'll move on to item number 14, which is resolution number 4684-25, the charter review committee. Mr. Cobb. >> Uh, thank you, Deputy Mayor. Uh, Maline, could you pull up the first resolution?
Uh, this is a request for the city council to adopt a resolution establishing a charter review committee. If you remember back at your work session, uh the city charter does require us to take a look at the charter uh at least once every five years, more often if the city council deems it
necessary and that the council shall appoint a charter review committee to review the charter. Uh in the past, we have had citizen- le committees. We have also had the city council serve as uh the charter uh charter review committee. uh in 2026 will be five years since the
last referendum on the charter which was conducted in 2021. Uh and for that charter review, the city council did appoint a citizen-led committee. Uh this is the resolution that is before you tonight, 4684-25.
Madam, if you could scroll down to section one, please. Uh in this in this uh in this um a little bit further, section three, I'm sorry. Uh what this resolution does is that uh it appoints 15 members to the to the charter review
committee. Each council member will be appointing would appoint three members each and so that to get to the total of 15 all committee members must be registered voters as well as a resident of the city. Uh each member no member is entitled to receive any compensation and
all members will serve at the pleasure of the city council. uh a member can be removed by the council member who appointed them. Uh if there is a vacancy then the council member who appointed the person that created the vacancy will appoint a new person. If you remember uh
one of the things we learned during the work session uh council member Bodford was appointed to the 2020 uh charter review committee. He got he then got elected to city council. And so I believe it was Miss Smith had to uh council member, former council member Smith was the one that appointed your
successor. Uh all meetings of this committee will be conducted in accurrence with the Florida sunshine law. They will be open to the noticed and open to the public. Uh the public will also be able to submit comments either in writing or verbally to the committee. Uh the
committee will uh maintain minutes, make motions. A simple majority of the committee members will constitute a quorum at the meetings. The committee will meet on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month uh at beginning at 5:30 here in the council chambers. Uh
our very own Mr. Mr. Vos will be the facilitator of the committee. Uh the committee will do a comprehensive review of the existing uh charter and make recommendations to the city council for any amendments to the charter. They'll begin their work in January and they'll
complete their work by May 18th of 2025 and which and there's a requirement that they present their recommendations to council by June 1st. Um now the committee can request additional time if they see that it is needed. Uh however it is at the discretion of council if
you wish to uh give grant that. This resolution also outlines the role of the city attorney as facilitator, the role of the city manager as a technical adviser, as well as the city clerk. Uh Maline, could you pull up the uh the other resolution, please, and scroll
down to section three? There was as council, you received an alternative selection process uh on Friday. And so I'd like to just review that with you. This is the revisions that would be would be necessary. There is a copy of this revised resolution on
the DIS. Uh once again the committee will have 15 members. Uh but there's a difference in how the council would appoint the committee. The uh under this scenario the council would appoint each council member would select 15 members and you would list out the 15 members
that you would want to place on the committee. Uh we have a spreadsheet that is available that's ready to go that you we would then note that person as a selection and then we would take that spreadsheet and sort it by the number of people number of uh selections that each
committee member has so that we could then have all the ones that all five of you all five of you recommended someone or four three two one and then the obviously the top 15 would then become the committee. Now there is also a provision that if there is a tie uh that
the city council can break the tie. Uh any once again as with the other resolution maline actually if you could go down to section four that would be the process for the selection under a section four we did remove some the items that talked about individual council members appointing and removing
the uh the uh in the case of vacancies. In this case, what it would be, it would be the city council as a whole would would take care of the filling of the vacancies. So, u if you wish to adopt the um the the proposed alternative,
then I would recommend that your motion state that you want to adopt the revised resolution that presented here tonight. If you wish to adopt the resolution providing in your packet, then just do a standard motion to adopt. Uh it's recommended that the city council first
take uh take public comment and then adopt the resolution that uh you feel is the best for providing for selection of the committee. >> Thank you Mr. Cob. Uh I do not have any written requests to speak on this item. Is there anyone in the audience wishing
to address council at this time? >> Hearing none, I will close public comment and ask what the pleasure of council is. I'll make a motion to approve resolution number 4684-25. >> We have a motion. Is there a second? >> Have a second. >> Any discussion?
>> No, I mean um I'm looking forward to getting the charter review committee uh back together, you know, reviewing this. Um and I think the way we did it before I think is fine. Okay. >> Council Britain. >> Uh I guess I did owe that. U I don't see a need to change the process. We've been
doing this for quite a while and I think this is the the better way to do it. >> Okay, Mayor Slated, >> I do not think this is the better way to do it. I think it results in people up here handing out political favors to the loudest people and it creates a less
collaborative environment and I want to make sure that even people who have quiet voices have an opportunity to be heard. This gives each person up here the opportunity to nominate 15 people and to see who
makes the best overall group. If if we all were to nominate 15, we could come up with a group that, you know, takes into account that we have four people who have HOA experience, that we have five, maybe six people who are either former electeds or worked for the
government for many years. Um it is very difficult to get that level of diversity and represent our community in its entirety if we by fiat just pick three people based on you know kind of guessing who the other people might get
and how do we combat if you know if we object to a particular person or really want a different person you know there's too much strategizing involved in that and I think it'll just make for a healthier board. We have used this method to pick our our LPA and I think
it has created a very collaborative environment that you people enjoy working in that setting. >> Matthew, >> yeah, I mean it's kind of a hard problem, right? I mean, you got 25 people and you can pick 15 and you like
a lot of them and um it's it's tough to just pick three. Um I'm interested in I'm interested in doing this um or or talking about it. Maybe that's what we're doing. So, yeah, I think I'm
interested in that. >> I think we already kind of hashed this out during our work session. And as far as to combat a little bit of what you're saying, I think all of us were elected up here not to play favorites, but to pick people based on their resumes and what they want to bring to our city. And
I looked through every single application and I saw people from every field. We had teachers, we had people who worked in in libraries, we had engineers, we had realtors, we had HOA board members. Every single resume brought something else to the table. So,
I I think whichever way we go here is not playing favors and I I don't like that that's where that's going. If we're worried about that, at least from my seat, that's not how I vote. Um, but I am like very thankful for all the people who stepped up to serve our city and and
be on this board and do this for us. So, and I and I do trust my colleagues to make good decisions up here too on on their votes. So, I I think it's very fair that each of us go down and pick one at a time and we all pick three. So, we know we have five seats, three seats each, that there's there's a good spread
of representation here. And I'm sure one of us will pick a seat that someone else is going to pick. So, we'll get some diversity up here. So, I am cool with the resolution at hand. Is there any further discussion before we take a vote? Okay. I will ask the clerk to call the role.
>> Council member Bford >> I. >> Council member Britain. >> I. >> Mayor Slick. >> Nay. >> Deputy Mayor Tukurt. I council member >> nay. >> The motion carries. So we will move on to discussion item number 15 which is a
city charter review committee applications. Mr. Cob. >> Uh thank you deputy mayor. Uh as we mentioned before, you do have 26 uh applications. Uh and you mentioned uh that you were going to allow each
council member to uh pick one. You'll keep run it through three times. So, uh, yes, the committee, you can pick 15 out of the 26 applications and we'll, uh, >> leave me to it. >> Turn it over to you. >> Okay. So, I think we should probably
start each time with a different person. So, if you want to kick us off down there and each time you just pick one person. >> All right. >> Does that work? >> That works. Do we have >> Are we We just like go We'll go down the line and then we'll we'll start there, back, and then start in the middle. >> Okay. Okay, let me get
>> if if I may. Um, is uh do perhaps we want anybody to speak if they're here and would like to >> uh is anybody in the audience looking to get on our charter board? >> Isn't if you raise your hand if you're here for that >> and share your name. >> All right, if you are all willing to
just you don't have to say much. Just come up to the podium and say your name just to introduce so we know you're here. I >> appreciate it. I'm Carl Thornbrew, 435 Hillrest. >> Thank you, Carl. >> I'm Willing. I'm Brian Klouse, 901 Pican

>> Thanks. >> All right, we have quite a few people out here. >> All right, you want to kick us off? >> All right, Katherine Townson, >> she has been on the charter review committee since I was on it in 2004. So I I consider her quite the historian. uh
know she knows all the things that have happened all along the way. >> We need we need a historian. >> Council member Barat >> Karen Harriet. Uh Rebecca O'Brien.
>> Go ahead. >> Barbara Bour Britain. >> Uh let's go with uh Keegan. >> All right. And pick another one while we're down there. Who is that? I'm sorry. Keep >> Oh, Keegan Ford. Keegan Ford.
>> And I'll go with Dominic. >> I'll go with Steven Shank. We got an email from him today. >> I'll do Nicole Martin. >> Oh, I'm up. >> Yeah. >> Kevin Heights.
>> Carl Thornbrew. And then Council Member Bifford, start us off again and we'll go that way. >> Um to AJ Ranch. >> Me? >> Yep. >> Uh let's go with Victor. I don't want to
butcher your name wherever you are. There you go. You >> want to go next? >> Luke Clinker. >> Okay. Mayor, >> I'm pondering. >> Okay, I'll go with Arian Bryant.
>> She's pondering. >> Nancy Zer, >> N. And I believe that's 15. >> Okay, we want to thank everybody for, you know, throwing their name in there. Wish
we could uh obviously get everybody on. So, I know there was a lot of good experience out there. Uh, so I appreciate everybody kind of stepping up and wanting to get involved. >> I agree and I am really impressed by some of the backgrounds of people we have who step up to serve and and help
out the city here. So, I appreciate you all coming out tonight. And if your name was chosen, thank you for serving for the city. >> Um, >> and I guess just got to add a lot of y'all were on my list of 15. So, I wish I could have nominated all of you.
>> All right, so we are up to the city manager report. Uh, thank you, Deputy Mayor. Um, a resident contacted Mayor Slateic about the uh, golf golf cart ordinance and so she asked if we could come and give a give an update on the
ordinance and so Chief Coleman is going to provide the or the update. Good evening, mayor, deputy mayor, city council. So, as as city city manager said, uh we had a resident reach out and and kind of revamped what we were doing or what we
uh wanted to get started with. So on December 3rd, we had a meeting with uh city manager, myself, deputy chief beavers, and uh director Wyatt to get this thing going and moving and see what we can get going on it. So if we kind of
come up with a schedule, I won't say a who's doing what. And I just want to make sure you all aware how we're we're putting this together. So, public works is taking care of the signage and plotting it, making sure the areas that need to be signed, the types of sign,
things of that nature. Uh, PD is is creating an application for the golf cart ordin golf cart or owners to complete to be able to register the carts. PD is also designing and purchasing registration stickers. So, when they do register their carts, uh,
PD will be working with finance to train utility billing employees and staff on the application process. PD will meet with the city attorney to ensure the process is compliant with code. And then the PD is working on a city council resolution to establish the annual fee for the registration.
And last, finance will work on a payment code to track the payments for the program so we kind of see how well it's being used and and updated. Excuse me. Uh anticipating this to be probably sometime in the first quarter of next year. We're going to have a resolution
in January. uh and everything else should be coming up online and then it'll be a matter of how quick uh signage can be ordered and installed. So, we're hopeful that within the quarter of next year we'll be able to roll it out like we had like the ordinance says. So, so
>> Okay. >> Okay. >> Any questions up here for Chief? >> All right. Appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you, >> Mr. Cobb. Did you have more for your report? >> I I do, Deputy Mayor. Just a couple of things. Uh this Saturday there will be two performances of the Nutcracker at
the Cultural Center and uh I'm not I I know one of them is at five o'clock, but I'm not sure when the other one is. I'd also like to wish all of you a joyful holiday season and I will be out of the office between Christmas and New Year's. Uh Mr. Kelly will be serving as acting
city manager. During that time, I'll be back uh for the council meeting on January 5th. That's all I have. I got a quick question on the golf cart thing. I was thinking about it after the fact. Uh pricewise on the signage. What What kind of price point are we looking at?
>> Oh, uh well, as you and I spoke about the we had an original plan that had like 95 different signs and it was close to $70,000. Uh in our meeting, we were able to identify what we thought was the minimum that we needed to do, which was really addressing uh the entrances to
our city and we came up with 21 locations and it lowers depending on whether staff in-house does the installation or uh we have a contractor do it, but it'll be anywhere between $4,300 and $9,300. So, it's a
considerable reduction just to do that. The original plan covered almost every intersection in town. Uh, and what this one does, it covers our entrances into the city and then covers the intersections of county and state roads where local streets cross over that we can do that. And so, yeah, it's a
significant reduction that we can take care of. >> That is a very good thing to hear because that higher price tag is that I I didn't support it in the first place, but that would have perhaps made some reconsider it. >> Anything else, Mr. Cob? >> That's all I have. Deputy Mayor.
>> All right. City attorney's report. Thank you, Deputy Mayor. I have nothing to report other than have a merry Christmas and a happy new year. >> All right. Uh, I'm up next. So, I wanted to bring up the middle school code red.
And the reason I want to bring that up is because that has to be a nightmare call for our police department. And I just want to say the response that happened, even though it didn't end up being like a real scenario, was incredible. So, I really wanted to give a shout out to the PD on an a like an
event that did not happen, but it showed that if it did, our team and your your police force did everything they needed to do. And I think that should be spoken of highly. So, I just wanted to say that. And other that other than that, happy holidays, Mayor Slick. Only thing I've
got is following up on what uh Rabbi Capro had mentioned. Um are you guys up for considering adopting the definition of Holocaust from the International Holocaust Center? >> I'd love to see that on the agenda. Our first meeting in Jan January.
>> It's fine with me. >> All right. Very good. >> Okay. >> Anything else? >> That's it. >> Council member app. So, uh, yeah, we've had a lot of good events recently. Um, uh, just this time of year, there's there's a lot of stuff
going on. You mentioned the the Nutcracker coming up. Um, so, uh, I'm sure the others will mention some of those. Uh but uh a couple of weeks ago, my family and I, we stopped by uh Orlando Brick Company over in uh
Longwood, and uh I made some minifigures for you guys and uh made with the constraints of uh what was in the minifigure parts bin. >> Oh my god. >> She has a skirt. >> Yes. >> Green top. That's pretty. Oh, wait. That one's
>> It really is a skirt, guys. >> Mr. Bifford and uh >> and my favorite was brown and green. >> And uh so just know that uh like I said, they're made with the constraints of what was in the bin. >> And uh >> yeah, he's got gray hair. >> That they were uh
>> I'm a solid ginger. >> Made made with love and respect for all of you. So uh merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, and uh happy new year. >> That's excellent. >> Thank you, >> Council Member Bford. >> Uh yes. Um so first off, thank you, Mr.
That was very kind. Obviously, shout out to the the police department again. That was uh that was very very heroic. I remember we talked to the guys at the employee lunchon last week. It's uh obviously a very scary situation. Uh and the response by everybody including our
SRO Ashley Pierce was was incredible. So again, these day and times it's unfortunate. That's the first thing we think of uh when this happens. And it's just we're fortunate to have the police department that we do. So thank you guys. Hey, we had a lot of great uh things that go on in the city during the
holidays. Uh I think we do a great job with that. We had the tree lighting uh a little while ago. You had the parade, which I unfortunately couldn't make. Um and you guys did a great job in that. I understand with a little bit of rain Santa run last week with Santa going through the town on the back of the
trailer. Thank you to the fire department and chief. Uh you guys do a great job with that. Uh getting us around. Uh so we always do that and I think we do a great job of uh celebrating the holidays here within the uh within the city. So to that uh happy holidays to everybody and appreciate
everything that everybody does. >> Council member. >> Yeah. Just uh one thing I I'm all for the definition of anti-semitism, but when they read the pledge, I didn't did they say uh anti-semitism in the pledge. >> Yes, >> I think they did. Yeah,
>> I I just didn't hear it and I thought, why isn't it in there? Okay, >> they did. Yeah. >> All right. Very good. Uh again, merry Christmas to everyone. Happy holidays and uh we'll see you next year. >> Okay. Uh future meeting dates, our next meeting is Monday, January 5th at 6:30
p.m. That's a regular session. And then Tuesday, January 20th at 6:30 p.m. That's a regular session. And then we have a work session. >> Yes. on Monday, January 26th at 5:30 p.m. Is there anything else for the good of the order?
>> All right, it is 7:17 p.m. and this meeting is adjourned. >> Good job. All right.
