just um say how grateful we are as employees of the city of Leica for you allotting us this time um to honor the staff members for prove to be showing such diligence in their work um for different areas at different times. And
for the month of April, we would like to recognize Don Chavis. I'm Todd Julie, Donald supervisor, and uh Donald went above and beyond his duty. He's very kind. He uh helps out his co-workers
anytime we have for anything. He's on time. He's always jumping out to take care of whatever. So that's why nominated great person. Excuse me. Donald thank you. Thank you.
you. I I've known Mr. Shamus for quite a number of years. He's that's a welldeserved um that's a welldeserved honor that you you got there, sir. So, um contributing to the uh work that you're doing. Appreciate everything you
do. Yes, sir. Thank you. Update. Yes. Uh good evening everyone. Good evening, commissioners, everyone that's here. Um, I I wanted to bring up to date um an understanding of what we're doing with
foreclosures and I'll ask um our city attorney to give us a little bit more information very quickly. Uh just we have about 340 cases. So I thought this would be a great opportunity. Sure. 340 uh code enforcement cases right now. And
by the time they get to me, the the leans on those code enforcement cases have exceeded a certain threshold of at least $10,000. They've been pending 401. But the point that I want to make really clear is that under no circumstances do
we initiate foreclosure proceedings on any piece of property that is homesteaded. In fact, all of the foreclosures that um we have initiated since I've started here have been on vacant and abandoned buildings. Um and a
lot of them have been burnt out structures. So, we're we're this is part of the light to bright initiative. In the past, the enforcement were just pilot and we have some that exceed half a million dollars. They've been pending that long. Some that have been pending
for 18 years. And so this is basically just trying to clean up those old hands and and get the the community looking good. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. All right. Go ahead. Additionally, uh just giving an update on the riverfront floating dot
project. Uh we do we are working on that aggressively, assertively with the army of engineers. Um so just want you to know that we are working on that. the difficulty is finding the correct vegetation that is required uh to be
placed in the waterfront there. Um the other thing is that the we with the water quality uh we did receive uh an update from the department that we no longer have dancers. So that's that's the fact now um community affairs are
starting something called the 90day challenge and that is so that our employees will start being become more healthy. So we are embarking on that. Um the FMI 5-year BMR improvement we're
going to have um consultant to come in with this agenda hopefully released by May 20 second agenda. um Mr. Evan McClennon and he's going to go over all of the statistics with the commissioners
as well. The max security uh covering more buildings with the security is almost complete and we require some more security for this uh building. We're also looking at putting the fire alarm off system which
never been here. So, we're doing that as well. There's no fire here at all. Um, the LED sign has been officially ordered and we expect delivery and installation by the end of May. That should be
completed. Um, and folks, just a reminder to the commissioners that uh we are almost ready to embark for this particular year. And so we're asking that you please uh start
getting your initial clips together so that the bill and start including this part. Thank you. Thank you. On to the financial report for the
six months ended on March 31st, 2025. Petas, director of finance for the city of Palad. I'm going to brief on uh our financial reporting uh for the six months of um as end of March 31st 2025
which is half there time was five months and we already have there halfway there and um our budget was 76,294 and 140 and
um of which 20% has been actual annual actualized revenues of 24% was um extra less than the expenditures year to date um should have 50% but since the city of grates of grants then that kind
of delays get a little bit later on um as of right now the revenue succeed expenditure by 3.2 to overall for the city wider 50% gross revenue for all funds
generating net income except fund which again bas revenues um was about Yeah, 777,737 where expenditures were at 8,526 which brings us to net
1.5,000 better play fund is one,000 in revenues and their expenditures 232,000 which 212,000 utility funds um revenue about
5,994,000 and expenditures are 636,000 with results of 357,000 fund airport fund brings national revenues as 1.2 2 million and their
expenses to 1 million which is brings the net result of $220,000 in revenue and net results of Arkansas. Um we have 193,000 in revenues and we have 70,000
in expenses which 123 net result. Okay. Move that um that just play with while he's speaking. I don't think this
guarantee clerks to do it. Perhaps this doesn't work. This finisher so you're page number one. Page one. No. Yeah, golf course right here on the
bottom. If you to the next page, it's going to be the revenues is going to be 65,000 and total revenues where expenditures are 48,000 which is $7,000
revenues and then sanitation fund generates in revenues. expenses 4 million which is about $395,000 income. No
one and the tax increment fund is u generates $39,000 in expenditures 2812 $823 in net results. The next
line break down of the total fund revenue property taxes local option tax which has 77. Next line is um citywide actual revenue for five
months that check all. Next, next slide is a breakdown of expenditures. Next slide. No, all the funds and the next slide
is reserves. I mean, I'm sorry. And that's basically it. Next few documents are break down line by line for the
building that's better and the price. Yes, thank you. Um I I just have a quick question on the THIF fund. What is the recommended reserves for the TIFF fund? The percentage just out of curiosity.
This is the Rento. It would be under the same requirements. Yeah. 23 was 55. Yeah. Because it was so high, you know. But anyway, that's fine. Yeah, just for the to what was the total
budget again as amended is 76,29 the overall total not just the that's the total everything I thought it was like 294 and 1114
okay I thought it was just amended I thought it went 90 something million no 76 thank Commission. Well, I I guess the question was not going back is is that the fund budget balance plus the reserve budget
balance is over is over 50,000 and I think that might be what you're asking. Right. Correct. Correct. Overall 76. Yeah. That's fine. No fundament.
That's if you if that's what you Okay, that's Yeah. Any any additional questions? Commissioner, good evening. We're going to public comments. Public comments are limited to three minutes. No actions will be taken on the items.
Please be respectful with your comments and also you said the town town. Yes, Miss Duke. Yes, I'm Vicky Go Pala, Florida. Um, first I
want to say I was involved in the Bartram Trail event that was on the riverfront. I was representing the friends of ravines and I thought it was an excellent setup. Everything seemed to go well. They had people to help us get set
up and um that was very nice and and the kids seem to enjoy the crafts at my table and the information we shared. So I really enjoyed that. Now this next it deals with Pala and the CRP
um community redevelopment agency. I know once they recommend something comes before I have some concerns about um policy that is being voted on now which will do away may do away with
the CRA funds and I guess this time I had to think about it till today doing something like but that seems like but it's not concerned about that but don't take
it away if you been that anybody that's listening to this today um I would suggest you read about this case9 that there's there are small communities that need funds not only
there's a lot of funds listed under there but when I said oh we need that buzz year and then I had one question about I know um name people at first had to search our
joy this weekend to talk about the air and they're going to be doing our sidewalks by chance. Is any of the sidewalk being sponsored? Yeah, but we'll have to wait. We'll get we'll get comments
later. Thank you for feedback later, Miss Good morning. Can you hear me? Pam Harris, 412 Mahaland Park, Palaca, Florida. Thank you for allowing me to speak today. I am here to speak about the importance of the historic aspects
and districts of Palaca and importance of preservative. Having lived in the central business district on birth until 1963, the heights of Palaca from 1963 to 1976 and a hotel in 1925 in the South
District 603 from 2009 until 2013 at what now Gable's bed and breakfast. I fully appreciate the valuable historic resources of this city. I always say people don't go to St. Augustine to primarily visit the shopping areas. They
are drawn to the historic areas and states through a collective. I implore the members of this board to make decisions that enhance and preserve all the historic districts as well as the central business district. I'm specifically asking you today to fund
the repair and yearround lighting of gas lamps that currently exist in the south historic district. This would be an invaluable enhancement to the historic character of the city. The gas lines are there and why wouldn't you use them? I heard the statements of another resident
of the district who said the gas lights are what drew her to buy a home in a historic district of black. Also considered is the plenity of the statement commissioner Jones made at a previous meeting with the gas lamps in the south historic district were discussed. He said the district
residents should canvas for their opinion concerning such since their tax increment funds would be used to cover the cost and could have input on the specifics of how the lamps would function. Also, it has been previously mentioned that solar cells should be
used to power the lighting of the lamps, not natural gas. While similar lights offer environmental benefits and potential long-term cost savings, their effects on sunlight the potential for inconsistent performance, especially in areas like Florida, make them a less
ideal choice for some applications. The highest of cost battery extradation and placement limitations are also a significant factor. The historic districts of collect are some of the largest collections of the currents in the state
must be protected be thoroughly focused in a document that is currently waiting for collections guidelines or standards as set forth by the secretary of the United States. These standards include
preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, and reconstruction. TR in South Carolina is an example of a city with some of the strictest enforced standards. Such standards ensure the value and existence of the historic structures. Taxbased subsidies are
obviously enhanced by the proper preservation of such standards which also includes the paint appropriate time. Thank you Mr. Bookers. as
207 Florida. I was here and I was told that the city may reach out to me to have the call station. I have not heard from her answer as yet. I was here Monday or Tuesday left a message at the front desk
or to reach out to me left phone call to the city mayor. We had a rebuttal from the chief of police and I was told that I could have rebuttal but I had only made one statement the rules who rese
order you can tell me how long I can speak to you that public speak next note I don't know if he did said he uh purposely did it
but there is a city or about sound there's a state statute about sound I give it to the lady over there so she can read into a room that states the city coord in the city that she has over
there. Ma'am, can you relate to to you can just I mean either way just let's let's let you finish Mr. Vickers first and then I'll pass somewhere else. Okay. I don't know if any of you ever lose that it was a city cold or noise but no one said
anything when the chief said that the state of Florida had got rid of theirs but we didn't say anything about the city of Florida address the same problem I don't come to meetings here to complaint I come here because we all to the same thing the protection of the law
the rule says that all of us have the same protection by law I want to ask that it will all be influenced. I have signs posted on the city codes, the state codes about sound, about uh
parking and they came out addressing. I've been in a place where I talked to a police officer. He covered his name tag so I could read his name. I accident uh person who was in charge. He refused to
call him. There was a police officer in Hastings dropping off a person who was impaired. There was no numbers on the car. I asked him if I put on. He said that's not necessary because we have a tracking device. Who knows about that? He doesn't know. He don't check all the
figures every day and see where they are. Thank you. Thank you. One minute. No, one minute. Let me see if there are any for anybody else here for public comments. public comments. Okay. Um can we start
with Miss Miss Juke? Does anybody want to respond to her? Okay. I would like to respond first through the CRA. Okay. Go ahead. Okay. Concerning uh the funds and you know allocating etc. See where the funds have not yet
been spent. But what we do do we have color and by hovering it for specific projects we have to do that annually. So that as far as us being able to still continue with the improvement of the
infrastructure. Right now the bulk of our uh project money in the CR fund is between two projects water and the streets bank. And so we have began spending those funds. um you know recently we had to do a lot of
restructuring and we've completed the restructuring and we found those projects now as relates to the uh legislative uh we very much updated it uh recently we
were able to get our software and that is why you saw today that you did receive a citizen alert or something and continue that I think uh CR coordinator is here and I believe
that date is April 30th or 25th when what is the next day that they're going to meet on that place? So they're going to meet tomorrow to discuss that bill. Um and the good news is that that bill I'm sorry the Senate bill got to a place where we are more
comfortable and it's going to allow us to continue to assist. So now we're just monitoring that house. Okay. Thank you. Question. Yes. Yes. I have a question regards not you don't have to direct it
to legal as well as the city manager with regards to those um alerts that are pushed out. Are there any because what I don't want us to do is again we know what we supposed to do as legislators. Yeah. But
as far as citizens that may disagree or um I want us to be mindful of what we do push out. So just take that in consideration and take it for what it's worth. But again I want us to just be mindful of certain things that we push
out advocating for certain things and pushing citizens um or if we do something like that encourage citizens to reach out and voice their opinion not a yes or a no. Yes. Thank you very much for that. again
with uh we are we're in the midst of still researching we think options electric solar and gas so we can disc yes so at the last CR meeting I mentioned that this was released on
resources first um so they statement and I'll read back to the CRV with their for those councils and then there'll be another discussion item for the CRA the next CRA meeting. Okay. So, we haven't done anything definitively yet and we
are securing input still from the community and research but we also found out in the midst of it that we have to present to the historic preservation board as well. Okay, that's where we are. Uh Mr. My apologies for not being able to get
to you as quickly as I wanted to. Uh the staff has been trying to put together myself and police so that both of us will be in to meet with you. So I do have that you came by the other day, but I do need to get with the chief as well.
So you are on the radar and you will be met with as well. Okay. So my apologies for not being able to do it quicker. Thank you. The consent agenda. Are there any items to be pulled from
the consent agenda? Motion to second. We have a motion and a second. All in favor? Any opposition? Thank you. regular business. I think we want to
reset chamber 50,000. Okay. Uh yes, ma'am. Uh this was an item that was at the CR level. uh and NCA we discovered as we were moving
forward that we cannot spend funds in the manner uh that have budgeted. Um we always take precaution we always research legality before we do anything. So therefore it will not cannot we
cannot use CR dollars uh in that manner. So what the reason why it's here before you is so that the commissioners can insight as to whether or not to fund uh in the general fund. Uh
we have been looking we have not successfully found much money at all but we have been looking just on some input from these. Commissioner Dennis, what are your thoughts? So, you know, in
researching best practices for municipalities making donations or giving money to um county chambers of commerce, you know, there are pros and cons on each side. My only question
is before we find or look for money, I'd like to understand clearly what is the benefit to the city since the chamber is a private organization who serves their members
typically serve their members. I don't um I haven't seen a benefit of why the city would give the chamber money unless there's some benefit to our city businesses or some
kind of I don't know membership. I I don't know. So, so the statement I want to make is I need to clearly understand the benefits of the city. If the chamber is going to fill some um priority that we've identified that
we don't have the ability to fulfill without them and again what benefit overall does it bring to the chamber and if the value of that benefit is worth $50,000. I would echo um what Commissioner Davis
has stated once again. We've had this conversation before about the benefits um when they were asking for an increase and what we were giving at that time. So, we've talked about it before, especially for us now. And I think it's
very proper um for them to come and speak to not only the um the commissioners and the mayor, but to speak to the community to know what the benefits are because again, I'm not really seeing it. That is going to be my suggestion. I mean, we've
given them I think 5,000 which is not a lot of money and that's the request for this 50. We don't have an economic development person or department and in theory they are supposed to be functional and not for
the city. But I think again I agree that it would be helpful to him to try to be there to tell what we will get for whatever we come into providing. Yes ma'am. If I may add just one more thing.
This morning I did meet with the chamber asking specifically that question. One of the responses that we did come out was uh them giving scholarships to at least 25 businesses here and if we could
own that. So if that's the case we can do it ourselves. Exactly. But at least I should have my conversation to let you know that I so again giving it the benefit of the doubt per let's ask them to come to our next meeting if possible and get an
overview of what they intend to accomplish with any funding we prov we we've met with them on several occasions and again um it was pushed again by uh Mr. bill before he left. He put it in the budget as it relates to
that and it was in the CRA budget and then it is now um migrating from the CRA budget over into the general fund which we had not budgeted for right this year at least. And so again, we got to understand and know where our money is
going, how it's going to be used. Again, I think we've had the conversation before and super friendly to how the money is supposed to be used based on what's been presented. Yes, sir. Friendly to to that. Thank you. I just wanted that definitively. Thank you.
Thank you. Um discussion direction homelessness on home and sheltered folks in Palatka. Yes. And this is just to bring the conversation up so we make sure we have the correct input or guidance as we're
moving forward. We are trying to look at the homelessness of the techni uh during today time when they have nowhere to be generally speaking and rolling around. So what we have done just so that you be
aware we have the police there when we're there like at they're there like say 7 a.m. in the morning till about 8:30 just making sure that that transition is happening. uh
police visibility is there uh from about 6:00 to 7:30 again during the time that they're migrating over to the faith Presbyterian church where the homeless sheltering is being provided
um which I did put together something we the team and u you know uh working with the lack of housing authority or trying to figure out how do we assist with the problem that they're
experiencing in the downtown area uh because we are trying to improve the economic development of that area. So conversation and I do know now that the tiny home village that is not something
that we will pursue. I know that now. So I did have but that was and the bigger issue I sure I'm not the only one that's received calls and calls and emails about the cult location and the haunted downtown with people to at 7
a.m. disseminate throughout downtown have been defecating in public can't handle um people afraid and we need to be have have the empathy that we need to have for these folks and they need other services besides a bed every night and
that's my bigger concern that they need those wraparound services that are not being provided um and and you alluded to that when they have nothing to do during the day much good can come with that frankly So you really need to I would like
encourage you to seek another location as well. Yeah. Oh, I wanted even to ask the city attorney to talk just a second about HP 1365 because that also was passed in
October. You know, consider meeting of municipalities as homelessness that we can't just let it happen to do something. So, I just want you to know that your staff is looking
into this a little more thoroughly trying to come up with some the as well. Okay. This was the bill that was passed last legislative session, the um public sleeping and camping bill. Uh if you
recall, we do have very limited options under that bill. Um it does not allow for law enforcement to go onto private property. It only pertains to publicity and that could be a clear
accusing or sleeping. Uh truth probably speak to this as well in terms of the practical enforcement aspect of it but we don't limit it was also an unfunded mandate. So limiting us even further.
And additionally, code enforcement uh has been dealing with those as a part of their function daily. And just a minute ago before I came in, I did get some information where there is now a grant out there and we will start facing those
kind of funings. It's called grant to end homelessness and create housing opportunity. Mr. folks. So, this kind of stuff that we want. Commissioner BR. Yeah. I just want to just chime in real
quick. It's really not as difficult as we're making it in terms of at least providing a facility and providing additional services. Having a facility and having somewhere for people to be able to go uh and have those services is
not as expensive as we think. And we if we just start with the steady and we all contributing out of our own funds that we get from the city 25 cent 50 cent per paycheck or whatever the number of employees that we have and we work with
the various uh agencies whether it's the school district other county agencies we can raise the funds to be able to provide the necessary building and we can get the wraparound services and everything else to go in there. It's
not as as as hard as we really trying to make it be, right? Then we also have some funding already set aside to give us a jump start as it relates to the project. So if that's important, we want to get the people move from one area to another at least and have a good place
for them. We we we've gotten a a animal shelter for the county about a million dollar project and we don't have a place for people to be able to get services that they
need. We can do better than that. Yes, sir. Also, with community affairs, uh he has been uh Mr. Eddie has been assisting us with um and and with legal with uh identifying some of the properties that
the city own that are vacant and uh we we've been looking at that too. Uh the main the main thing is like commissioner is saying you know we want to find a place where we can put them during the day and try to provide wraparound services. Paper mail services would
include counseling, referral, expuning, you know, a place for them just even to relax instead of being walking around and citizens are complaining when we really can do something. And we do have funds in the budget. We have uh many in
office and the fact that we spent $99,000 less and um expediting the lead project. So we actually have those funds as well. it's I mean the primary service that people need initially the other services
are in this community they need case management to navigate what services currently exist and that's what's missing and that is I think the primary service folks need first so they can find those other things they need supports they need um thank you do you
have something else commissioner commission go ahead commission well I I wanted to um bring up in this meeting that I was recently appointed to the um continuum of care leadership council um which is the governing body
responsible for overseeing the continuum of care program which aims to end homelessness by coordinating resourcing efforts. Now due to this board, it is the seat that I occupy is for a county
commissioner who has the authority to um recommend someone who's not necessarily um with the county. So accepted that appointment. Now orientation is in a couple of weeks but one of the things
one of the services they provide I'm looking to see if this is a point of coordination which I'll follow with you on but they do strategic plan resource allocation system coordinator but in county there are three points of entry
into this for home which is chair and becomes we know but again once I get more information. I'll certainly reach out and see where we can lack opportunities. As the mayor mentioned,
points of entry is where we seem to be lacking right now and why this is again working with other counties. I hope to see with the city being involved where we can leverage that and hopefully look for opportunities to
coordinate not just for our city but through this program with our county as a whole because we do know if the resolve one place then they push to another city in the county. So it behooves us to coordinate responsible you know with these other organizations.
So I'll definitely provide more information to that in the future. Commission, I just think we we we um we're going around the horn in terms of um trying to really put something in place. Uh this
has been something that's been going on for quite some time with, you know, the um the various uh organizations within the county and surrounding areas with the people who move forward, St. Augustine moved forward with how they
were going to address the homeless uh initiative. Um we had um Deltona they moved forward with the initiative. They actually did build up what they call a bridge house for that with the wraparound services but we we can't keep
just talking about these things. We put fun we we made it a priority. We put funds in place. So, I think that we need to try and do something moving forward with what we have. We can't keep waiting on everybody else to help the city because it's impacting the city. And I
think we need to move forward. There's different ways again to fund the whole thing and it's not don't fall on the city. I talked to several people who are willing to donate personal funds if we just set up maybe a trust or something
like that so that we can start putting money toward that in addition to what we got. Thank you. Thank you. We will move forward. Thank you. Upgrade Miss Okay. Um, please I'm gonna allow Mr.
Bryant my hand to discuss it further. Please. Good evening, Mayor Commission. Mr. Staff. Um, so for Moody Road, um, there's a lot of growth in that side of the city. We have recently upgraded working on upgrading station at St.
Thomas. Um we just recently upgraded when you create to move ewell facility um that grows in that area of the city to make sure we can provide services for that area. We plan on doing this job in
house. Um my capable of doing this job between me, my assistant, my staff. We are more than capable of handling this. So we need to accept possibly although thank you. And what he's explaining is
because of uh Mr. McCann's expertise and leadership that force that as lift stations and in doing so has resulted in savings financially which we truly appreciate.
Thank you. Um do you want to continue with the Francis shortcut lift station with um Francis um lift station? that it's penalty about 37 years old. I want to sign the deterioration. We want to wait for the
money. We ask for the money of the budget year capital project. That's another station we will do in house. Oh, go ahead. Besides that is aesthetically stations. All you can really see is the base
plane. It looks the area look a lot better as well before we have failure. Thank you. So with these I want to make sure are we to take official action to give the approval which I'm sure most certain that we need to do.
Um so I want to make sure that as we move forward that we move forward properly. So mayor, if we are entertaining a motion, I'll make a motion that we move forward with the Moody Road lift station upgrade in housing. A second. I thought we had already
thought we had approved the funding. That's already the station was approved for this. Okay. So Moody does need to be approved. Okay. Are we allocated some funds that you could approve in a budget to move over to upgrades?
Okay. Thank you. So, we have a motion from a second from Commissioner Dy. All in favor? I. Any opposition? Thank you. Correct. Yes, ma'am. We have just added a small note. The purpose of this
operating is it helps prepare residents for the developers. Thank you. On to Commissioner Clement. Commissioner Davis, any comments? Yes. Um I just want to give a comment in regards to the
weekly um staff reports. Um um I just want to say thank you. There's a lot of activity going on in your city for um that's making us better and a lot
that goes on behind the scenes um we often don't hear about it directly and I just want to say for every department that we're here for every department we have some amazing sales um just we told
you here that we have specialty um we want to go special Um there was a young lady today in the stream and she think like she was not as young. I called the police station for the Detroit. There was a community police officer who was
able to go directly to that point to um assess the situation and I just want to say that I the effort and I just want to say thank you very much. Thank you Commissioner Bar. Thank you. Yes. Again, I want to share the same sentiments as
uh Commissioner Davis, and we do have phenomenal staff. Um, thank uh in the nation, but um staff will uh give back in the way that they they do um in terms of
especially when they're saving um 160 $170,000. if there's some way that we could uh in terms of those individuals who have those sets of skills that are able to uh
help in in that regard. I think they try and develop something that help show appreciation as relates to uh their knowledge, skills and expertise. That's just uh one thing like that.
Um the we talked about the $50,000 that requested go to ancient but we also gave $10,000 I don't know if it's been dispersed yet to the sp and neuter um
group they came before us and I have not seen no activity no reports um and I want to know if we distributed funds to for their property. Well, I'll confirm that, but I'm pretty sure as of my
