Good. >> All right. >> Good evening everybody. Welcome to the city of Parker's council meeting for the 4th of November. We have uh six items on the agenda tonight. So without any further ado, we will uh ask you to stand
for the national anthocation. >> Mr. Chapel, you got the floor, sir. Oh Lord, bless this council and the uh citizens of our city that we might make the right decisions tonight to enhance
and improve the city with the agenda items that we have tonight. I ask you all in this your name. Amen. >> Amen. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the
United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, liberty and justice for all. >> Please be seated. >> Madam clerk, you call a role for me. >> Miss Barrow here.
>> Miss Bterford here. >> Mr. Chapel here. >> Mr. Haney here. >> Mayor Kelly >> here. Before we get started with our agenda, ladies and gentlemen, if there's anybody in the audience who would like to come to the podium and talk about anything that's not on the agenda,
please feel free to do that. Okay, with no further ado, we'll move right along. Um, I'm going to pass out something to you and then I'll tell you the story that goes along with it. >> Do we want the approval of the minutes? >> Oh, I'm sorry. I There was yesterday. I
appre I appreciate that, Miss Barrow. Make a motion that we presented. >> Second. >> Okay, we have first and second. Will you call the role? >> Miss Barrow? >> Yes. >> Miss Potterer? >> Yes. >> Mr. Chapel? >> Yes. >> Mr. Haney. Mayor Kelly. >> Yes. Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, M for
catching that. Um, in your packages, you will see that there is um there you go. One for each of you. Um, a letter and some information for Mr. Abu,
he wanted to do some building after the hurricane and he did what he believed to be everything correctly. It went to the planning council and it was denied and it was denied
for a multitude of reasons. Anyway, about a month ago, he came to me and I sat down with the uh Mr. boy, the building department person with Mr. Abu, his wife, and a business partner of theirs, and we went through
their entire package. And unfortunately, I need to report to you today that Mr. Abu had been told some erroneous information by past employees that no longer work here.
And based upon that information, he did the things he was told to do and paid out thousands of dollars for permits and so on and so forth, which end up being incorrect, but he was denied. You will see in the packages I just passed out to
you, a letter from a past city clerk. You see the date on it where it was recommended that he do what he did and move forward. And the second uh document, if you look at part five, it
doesn't show up as clearly here on the as it does the original draft where he was recommended to move forward and do what he wanted to do, and that was to put everything back the way it was uh initially uh built before the hurricane.
If you look at your packages that was denied, you'll see that um what Mr. of wanted to do was to put everything back the way it was. Eight new town homes right back where the eight town homes had been leveled in the hurricane.
And through a multitude of mistakes, he was given erroneous information. Yes, he could. No, he couldn't. Yes, he may. Maybe not. Go to EPCI. Don't go to EPCI. Get a permit. Don't get a permit. Do this. Do that. Do this. Do that. And
those documents I just handed you are absolutely for sure what happened. And I I've looked into this for a period of about 3 weeks. And what I'm asking you to do, council, is I'm asking you to vote in the affirmative
um with a motion to let Abu and his company build back those eight town homes uh that were on South Lakewood uh before the hurricane. and they're obviously, you know, they're bulldozed smooth now. And I'm not sure what I can do about the
amount of money he has paid, but he has paid thousands of dollars out in permitting and has been uh denied the opportunity to to be able to build back the structures. Um, if he is able to build them back, it will bring eight new
forms of revenue to the city through taxation and through water and sewer. And I would like to I'd like the council to to vote to give him back his u give give him back his buildings with given this information. I'd like to
uh hold off till the next meeting we figure out actually what's going on. This kind of dumped on us all of a sudden like a little further into it and see what's happen. >> Yeah. kind of have I'm kind of with John
on that one because I was looking at the um his questions and specifically question number two asked if this was was it a fault of the owner
and it kind of was because it says that previous development orders were expired. Okay. But I'm I'm open to whatever you want to do. >> It says the hardship is not a result of the actions of the owner and is not based solely on desire to reduce
development cost, but it is it is a result of the owner. >> Did you the development orders were expired, which at the last planning meeting, they fully admitted >> that was for 2025 >> that it kind of just slipped through the cracks. >> Right.
>> I mean, if I was if my development order expired, I'd have to start all over again. >> Mhm. So if he starts all over again, well, how do you account for 2023 if you read that directive to yourself?
How he was told to do what he did? >> I just handed it to you. >> Yeah, that's why I'm kind of with John. I think we need a little bit more time to read over this. >> Okay. >> Personally, because now that Yes. They have been bulldozed down.
And you know, were they less than 50% destroyed? Were they more than 50% destroyed? >> They were destroyed. They were destroyed. But if you look at the photographs of the property that came in your package, there's pretty much no way to put them back any other
way than they are currently built in that neighborhood. you'll you'll take away the aesthetic of the neighborhood if you change the type of construction so the other houses won't match. >> Do we have photos of what they look like when they were damaged? >> Uh I don't it's in the package there.
I'm not sure. Let me find it for you. Let me find U. You should have what I have because all I have is pictures of where it's just completely leveled off. >> Yes, that's what I have. That's all I have. Also,
um, of course that was 7 years ago that they were damaged and uh um this has gone back and forth with attorneys and permitting and nobody's been able to till now
um have a solution. And I agree with John also that uh it never should have got to us without this being resolved before it came here. But uh what what is the council telling me?
>> Well, I think we've uh you know the hurricane was five six years ago and u ever since then the land has been cleared and I think we've been kind of giving the runaround. Well,
I think it's about time we go ahead and uh make a decision on letting him build the buildings and get the revenue coming in to Parker, which could have been we could already be getting the revenue by this time.
Don't take no seven or six six or five years to build a part. Takes a while, but it'll take that long. And uh I just feel like we we need to go ahead and uh approve it or disapprove it, whatever
the council thinks. >> To to what you said, John, the reason it's new to you today is because I don't go to the planning council meetings. So when I get it from them, I have to go with what I know. And uh we discovered this what I just gave you. We discovered
this a week ago and it took a few days to get it together. And with Kevin looking it up and uh helping me find it and then Boo looking it up and helping me find some of the documents from his notes. That's how I came up with these documents in front of you.
Miss Barry, do you have anything? >> Well, I agree with what you're saying, but if these two council members feel like that they need to read it and look at it, being fair to them, I at least give them time to look at it and then bring it back to C. I don't have a
problem, but I just think we give them time to re >> My thing is is he planning on building it to the same footprint. >> Exactly. Go right back exactly the way it was. >> All right. I'll make a motion to approve rebuild them.
>> Okay. >> Sorry, sir. >> I'll abain. >> Okay. You call a roll in. >> Miss Barrow. Second. >> And also, we need a second. >> I'll second.
>> Okay. >> Miss Farah. >> Yes. Miss Potterford. >> Yes. >> Mr. Chapel. >> Yes. >> And Mayor Kelly. >> Yes. Now, in the ethics class, we just took renewal on. I don't think you can abstain. John, >> it's only when you have,
>> but it's got to be something in conflict with you. >> Well, I have conflicts about having this information instead of just coming into a meeting and seeing this in front of me right now. Okay, I understand. >> I'm not going to make a vote. I don't I don't have all the information to make decision. >> Okay. To be honest with you, sir, >> make sure you annotate the record. All
right. Well, thank you, council. Let's move on to the next item. Um, this is for uh planning commission recommendation was approved for the application for Mr. Dykes. And it's a
pretty lengthy one. It's right here in front of you. Hey, Mr. Dikes. Good afternoon, mayor, council. Um, just I try to keep this brief. This is for the uh Smugglers Cove
U Marina and RV Park 5612 East Highway 98 or East East 98, excuse me. Uh I am here on behalf of Smugglers Group LLC asking for the council's uh permission and approval to be able to construct a
40 slip uh marina uh in the water at the foot of our property. Uh we have supplied the council with what took me 38 months which is a United States uh department of army corps of engineers
permit uh saying that we can proceed and they obviously have various uh requirements we must comply with uh including we're not limited to standard protections and measures for the eastern indigo snake
standard manatee conditions on and on. And then secondly, we have received approval from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection U to proceed with construction. Um, so we've been federal, state, and now we're local and
we're hoping that y'all will allow us to proceed and build the marina. Also, council, you should be aware that the engineering was performed by third item in your package, Buchanan and Harper, um instead of the normal um anchor for a
multitude of reasons, but became a glowing reference. It's the two pages. Uh and it's the third item in in your package. Three pages. >> I've got a couple questions. >> Yes, sir. >> I'm not an engineer. I'm not quite sure
how what the extent of how your dock is going to stick out in the bay. Can you can enlighten me as far as what length it's going to be up to the off the shoulder? >> Sure. Um,
pursuant to the Department of Army permit, we have a project uh description. Uh it it's going to be a total of 40 slips, uh 269 uh pylons, a total of 6,611
square ft over the uh water. Uh the total length out of the marina, let me find it. Uh >> looks like about 60 foot, >> right? That's what I I'm trying I've got
so much paperwork here. What it will be is what the department of army corps of engineers approved and specifically in their paperwork we have to submit an asbuilt certification
uh that we complied with the permit and the documents that were reviewed by uh Buchanan and Harper. Uh I'm sorry I don't have the exact answer to your question. I'm >> a lot of it's in here. Mr. Haney, if you look at that part of your package, it's a little bit
difficult to read, but it shows you the dimensions and everything in there and how the construction is. >> My question was, is this going to impede uh voter travel? >> I do not think so. That that would have been handled uh by the army would have
made us do something different. And secondly, we are at the very mouth of the or the very end of the bio, if you will. The only thing next to us is uh the hardest property. And then you also have the property coming around back on the Donaldson Point side. But we're
certainly not going to impede people's ingress and egress. That that's not the that's not the plan at all. >> And it's not a commercial dock. It's just for >> It is for the people that are either staying with us at the RV park or have
chosen to buy one of our uh tiny home RVs or RVs, excuse me. So, >> you wouldn't expect anything over 30, 40 foot. >> Um >> I wouldn't think nothing that big would get back. >> Yeah. Well, it's actually a lot deeper back there than you might think, but uh
matter of fact, Mr. Harters has got one of their big ships tied up in the back. It's it's good depth in there. Uh um there you can look at the slip size. Um there's five slips that are going to be 3x35,
five that are going to be 2 by35. And so the largest is the seven 2x40 slips and then the two 2x 52 slips. So the that would tell me the largest boat's going to be right at about the 50 foot. Uh, but it is going to be more what we're
trying to cater to is people that want to go to Shell Island, people that want to go have dinner at Uncle Ernie's or Bio's. Um, that kind of thing. We also think we can complement the full service marina at Pier 98. Uh, so that that's what
we're headed for. >> Well, you're not looking forward to anybody living on their boats? >> No, this is no liaborts. No, sir. >> Understood. >> No, sir. to make a motion to approve this project. >> Got a motion in a second. Ma'am, call the roll.
>> Okay, Miss Farah. Yes. >> Miss Bford. Yes. >> Mr. Chapel. Yes. Mr. Haney. Mayor Kelly. >> Yes. >> Good luck, Mr. DS. >> Thank y'all so much. >> Thank you. It took a long time, didn't it? >> 37 long months. It's a good place to put
your boat too if hurricane comes because the way it's situated, >> your boats can not be damaged by the hurricane. >> Thank Yeah, it is it is protected there. Final question and if I may ask, does do
does our contractor now need to come get a building permit from EPCI or is this what we had to have and now we go? >> I think now you get it from EPCI. You wait for the approval from Miss Bundy, >> see Kevin Boyd in the office. He'll square you away with your documentation,
take it down to EPCI, pay them some money, and start building. >> We're going to do y'all going to like it. Thank you so much. >> Thank you, sir. A lot of work went into that. >> Okay. Tonight, Mr. Sloan is out. So, uh, our
clerk is going to read the second reading for possible adoption. No, >> not yet. >> I'm sorry. >> Yeah, this is for um Now I know why you're here. >> Are the people Is uh Sabrina Hancock
here or Hancock? Are they here? >> Is anybody here? How old is it? >> Yeah, she's the daughter of the >> You got maybe like the last time we needed the paperwork there. >> I I do have the paperwork saying I can speak on their behalf. >> Okay. Is that sufficient?
>> Yes. Okay. Okay. Come to the podium if you would. >> What can I How >> we don't know yet. >> Okay, >> Madam Clerk. >> Um, yes, she supplied the paperwork saying that she can represent and they were requesting to combine the parcels >> so she can put a pool in or something
>> eventually. Yes. Now, that'll be separate but >> as Right. >> So, is there anything we need to read to the council? >> There's not. >> There's not. So, what we're asking council, what they're asking, his permission to consolidate these two lots.
That's all it's on the That's all they're asking for today, right? >> Mhm. Yep. 5123 and 5125 Blue Harbor. >> 5123. 512. >> Got a motion to make him allowed to do it. Have a second. And we have a second. Would you call the role? >> Miss Barrow? >> Yes.
>> Miss Bifford? Yes. >> Mr. Chapel? >> Yes. >> Mr. Haney and Mayor Kelly? >> Yes. Thank you. appreciate you. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Now we can get down to our um uh >> second reading for public adoption for
ordinance 2025 429. >> Motion read. >> Have a motion to read. We have a second. We have a second. Call a roll. >> And Miss Barrow. >> Yes. >> Miss Bterford. >> Yes. >> Mr. Chapel. >> Yes. >> Mr. Haney. >> Yes. >> And Mayor Kelly? >> Yes.
>> Okay. So, ordinance 2025429, an ordinance of the city of Parker, Florida, amending the land development regulations, ordinance number 2022 409 as amended to amend certain provisions relating to existing non-conforming development in the city, providing for
severability, providing a mechanism for the correction of Screven Screveners errors, providing for the liberal construction of this ordinance, providing for a repealer clause, and providing for an effective date. Make a motion to adopt. >> Second.
>> We have a first and a second. Would you call a roll? >> Excellent. Mr. Barrow? >> Yes. >> Miss Potterer? >> Yes. >> Mr. Chapel? >> Yes. >> Mr. Haney and Mayor? >> Absolutely. Yes. Very good. And um the last item is the U presentation by
Miss Vigil. How are you tonight? >> I am lovely. How are you? >> Very good. Thank you, ma'am. >> I just want to say thank you for having such short efficient meetings. >> Yeah. It's not like some of the other meetings I go to. Um, so I'm Jen Vigil.
I'm the president and CEO of Destination Panama City. I've been a public servant in Bay County for 30 years now. Um, and I am here at the direction of my board because they see the future of what is
coming in Bay County. Obviously, um, Panama City was the first on the east side of ha of Haway Bridge to get a tourist development taxing district. And that was a result of Carol Roberts, the former director of the Bay County
Chamber. Essentially, if you guys can rewind about 10 or 15 years, Panama City Mall was dying. All the businesses were leaving 23rd Street. Downtown was a ghost town, and St. Andrews was kind of sketchy to walk through. Uh so they
tasked Carol with trying to figure out why that was happening because all of the other major municipalities, especially coastal ones in Northwest Florida, were thriving economically and Panama City was failing both economically and in terms of
citizenship. Our kids were moving away and not coming back. So we were on a downward trajectory for population growth. Um, Carol went out and found out that what all of the other cities had that Panama City did not have was a
revenue stream to promote and market effectively for the support of small local businesses because it is citizens that invest in their local communities first. Uh, in doing that, she was able to convince the elected officials of
Panama City to put it to a referendum in order to have a tourist development taxing district. The tax can only be levied by counties, but the citizens of your own mun municipality have to vote. You have to go equipped with the support
of your citizenship when you approach Bay County and ask them to levy a tourist development taxing district. Um, so I'm here today to talk to you about how that works. Um, essentially you have to obviously educate your citizens. A
big misunderstanding when people hear tax is that they think that they pay it. Uh locals do not pay tourist development tax. It is only assessed on properties that are considered shortterm rentals under Florida statute. Florida statute
defines short-term rentals as anything 6 months or less. That is why commonly you see a lot of residential leases at either 7 months or 12 months long. Um there in in Bay County, we have a 5% tax
on all short-term rentals. That tax goes specifically pursuant to chapter 125.0104 of the Florida statute, which basically dictates how we can spend that money. It has to be used on the promotion and marketing of the destination to
travelers. It is a true economic driver. We are expected in our task to bring in outsiders so that they will leave their money here and then go back to their homes. Um but we like to say that a great place to live is a great place to visit and even a better place to do
business. We know that in terms of economic development when larger businesses are coming to look at destinations for either new expansion of their business or relocation that they look at the quality of life that will be available to their future employees. and without a quality of life, without
events, without good curb appeal like streetscapes and things like that makes it very difficult to attract new businesses. So, those are some of the things that TDT does. Um, it matters most to municipalities because it helps
your small businesses. Um, in coastal communities, we know that we have we use a lot of scientific data. So, we look at credit card transactions. We look at cell phone data. I can tell you that in city limits of Panama City, the local
businesses, we define local businesses as those that are owned and operated by someone living in Panama City. Um, those businesses are supported by external dollars anywhere from 24% to 37% of
their revenue. So, if travelers went away, those businesses would cease to exist. they can't afford to take a 24 or 37% cut. Um, what it can do is help with ecology, uh, education of ecology. We're a coastal community. We specifically
want travelers that appreciate, support, and help sustain the ecology that we have as coastal communities. One of the efforts that Panama City, Destination Panama City, did was the creation of the Panama City Oyster Trail. So, every single restaurant in Panama City that
serves oysters as part of the Panama City Oyster Trail, we market that both regionally um domestically and internationally so that visitors come in. As part of that marketing, we explain that the oyster is the canary of the ocean. And with a healthy oyster
bed, you know that you have a healthy ecosystem in your bay. Um so that is uh some of the efforts that we make. Um and I know that why am I here? my board wants me to be here. So, you have a little bit of insight on how the
progress goes. And being that there are four communities with Springfield, Parker, Callaway, and Linhaven, um it would be more beneficial if all of the municipalities attempted to educate the
citizenry and have the uh item on the referendum for citizen consent. at the same time. It's sort of the economies of scale. When you all work together, it costs you less to educate. Um, and then when you're all speaking the same language, it helps the community
understand. Um, in terms I will say that the reason why this started is because Callaway and Parker hotel owners have both reached out because while their hotels are doing moderately well, they're not doing as well as the hotels
in Panama City. Um, one of the big economic indicators we have, I think you all probably know Panama City and Panama City Beach are the only two cities in the state of Florida that have that 1 cent merchant fee, that extra 1 cent tax. When we first started Destination
Panama City, um, 10 years ago, the 1 cent tax was the equivalent of $8 million that went into the city's general fund. With the help of destination Panama City, that 1 cent tax is now worth almost $14 million that
goes directly into the city's general fund to help with other things that the municipality has to pay for. Um, it also results in better standing with the community and we have over 300 new
businesses today than we had uh the day before the hurricane in Panama City. In terms of Parker, the only hotel that I could find on record was the Parker Inn, but there was no information about it. So, what I did
was I pulled information from AirDNA. Um, because you're a co coastal community, it just makes sense that you have a lot of VBOs and Airbnb rentals. uh for a municipality that means if you had um local legislation where perhaps
they would have a business license to operate within the city that would be a direct revenue stream for the city of Parker. Um in your area I was able to count um 35 possibly 38 active uh Airbnb
or VBOS's. We are kind of in the slower months right now. So you could potentially have more at a very cons conservative average daily rate and a conservative occupancy rate. That means that the at the 5% tourist development taxing rate that is available in Bay
County right now that the city of Parker would generate somewhere between 21 and $25,000 in tourist development taxes. So, of course, if you went forward in pursuing tourist development as a source of revenue to promote and market
your city, you could ask Bay County to create your own individual taxing district. Because of the amount of money that you would generate, I highly recommend against it. It doesn't quite make enough money to pay somebody and pay for marketing. Um, so it' probably
be in your best interest to ask for the Bay County to expand the destination Panama City Tourism Development Taxing District. Um, on the beach, Dan's district, very much like your utility service area doesn't always match your
municipal boundary lines. Uh, tourist development taxing districts often don't match municipal boundary lines. So on Panama City Beach, it essentially goes from bridge to bridge to bridge. So it goes from inlet to Buchanan to Hathaway. Um I think the idea in general with some
of the other municipalities is that the east side of the bridge become the greater Panama City area and it go from bridge to bridge to bridge from Hathaway to Bailey to Dupont. And um if you have any other questions I will be happy to answer them. And you may not have
questions tonight but I'll leave you all with my business card. And if you do have anything or any brilliant ideas, we're here for you. Oh, I forgot to tell you. I did look up your Vegas event economic drivers and it is um your
skating rink and a I think that the name has changed. Um Saltwater Saloon I think is the new name. Um but I it I think that was the only other thing that came up as a as an
attraction. Um, other things that people visited most were uh grocery stores, fast food, and gas stations. So, but you're getting a marina, so you got a lot to >> change is coming. >> Change is coming.
>> But I appreciate it. If you have any questions, let me know. >> Thank you, ma'am. >> So, you said there was you found 38 >> Airbnbs. >> There's 38 active today. Most of them are on the water. Uh very the high concentration is the north side of 98
just east of Dupont Bridge is the highest concentration of them. >> It'd be enjoyable to see your list to know if they're paying taxes on those rentals or not. >> They advertise, right? >> Is this what we commonly call a bed tax?
>> Correct. >> That's exactly what it is. >> So they don't have to pay bed tax right now because they're not in a tourist development taxing district. Um, some one benefit I will say is when they have to start paying a a bed tax, you can
find out whether or not they're claiming homestead when they potentially shouldn't be. >> So, >> what is that percentage rate? >> The bed tax is the bed tax right now is 5%, but Bay County does qualify as a high impact tourism community. um in
order to reach the level of high impact tourism that allows you to add by voter referendum an additional penny. So should it go to referendum, the citizens of Bay County will have the option to
increase from 5% to 6%. >> City of be anyway. >> That's right. >> That's right. So that's something we got. >> There's there's just a lot of potential
just because you're a coastal community and I think that the desire of my board was to make sure that you knew that this was there and if you need any assistance or guidance along the way that I would be there to help you. That'd be good.
That'd be very good. Actually, I think we collect $4 a year, Mr. Haney, from each Airbnb. >> Well, you know, if we advertise the paper mill as a tourist attraction, my people show up. >> It is. You can you can fish at Yeah, you can fish at the mill. >> Yeah.
>> And we've got some three eyeballed bass in our lake that you can eat. >> Always fun to fish. >> Yeah, I have them in my pocket for y'all. Oh, it's official. Thank you. >> Thank you.
>> Thank you. >> Thank you, ma'am. Um, Mr. Chapel, do you have anything else? >> Uh, yeah. One thing, uh, we're having a a community yard sale again this
Saturday, but um, after this Saturday, we're going to shut down community yard sale until February, the second week in February. That doesn't say that if an individual wants to have a yard sale,
they're still welcome to use the pavilion, but you do need to call the uh city and let them preserve that for you. So, month of December and the month of January, the community yard sale will no
longer be in existence. Um, we've been doing pretty good. I think I got u the money I collect for it uh goes to buying more trees and stuff and I think I've collected about $300 so far. Um we're
planning on buying some uh peon trees to put out along the fence line. So when I get enough money, we'll go ahead and buy those trees. But u they don't want to they won't dig them
up until the sap goes down into the roots anyway. So it'll be February before uh they'll have them available to buy. So that's >> Thank you, Mr. Henny.
>> Just have a question if you might be able to answer for me. Is there any update on the status on >> the house at the the bait shop that was supposed to be. >> Yep. I can give you an update on that.
>> We suggested to um Mr. Buoltz that he take that take care of that and rather than the clerk and I and he reached out to Mr. Richardson at the state of Florida and they're I'm told they're
happy with where it's at. He's working with the state of Florida. That property belongs to the state, not the Parker. So, it's between the state and him now. Nothing to do with the city. >> Understood.
>> So, if if there's a a fine incurred, we're not to be responsible for >> nothing. Nothing comes to Parker. >> Obligation from the city to >> No. If it catches on fire, we'll put it out. If a crime is committed, we'll arrest him. But that's it. But that part, John, that part is not
cut dried clear as to who owns what. And it's concerning because there are other parts of the park like up in the long in the overflow parking. We may not even own it. >> Well, I understand the property he's he's put his building on is a 99 year
lease through the city, but it's not actually >> property. 99. >> No, no, that's not correct. that. So, we own some and they own some and like uh all where the little houses are down in the gazeos, we don't even own it all.
When the aerial survey map is color divided, it doesn't even make any sense of why they would do that. You know, you would thought they just gave that to the city and would be done with it because we maintain the entire property. But that's where it stands right now. Uh Mr.
Richardson um the state said that it was on their piece of property. Buoltz has talked to him and uh whatever they worked out amongst themselves got nothing to do with Parker. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome, Mr. Barrow. >> I just want to say that
December 6. So if anyone would like to donate or help out or whatever, it's on the very same bicycle. We usually have drawings for bicycles. I think last year I bought two
and then the city is on the throw throwing the candies on the 20th. That's three Saturdays in a row. >> Yep. >> That's no sleep in day. >> No. No. Going to make lots of noise.
>> Ain't nobody sleep in right there. >> Nobody got Miss Bifford. >> I do not. >> Okay. I just have one little thing. So, if anybody's has any confusion about what you see as you come into Parker, we were very fortunate to have a windfall.
We bought that piece of real estate. Thank you council for giving me the latitude to buy that. We took six loads of uh burnt debris out from the soil that was there from that bar that burnt and added back six loads of soil to the
property. We've put up uh a fence railing around there. Tomorrow they're going to pour the slab for the sign. And then we'll be um decorating and adding grass and flowers and plants. And then probably going to get together to try to figure out what the best looking sign
is. As you come in there, we got to do some things with the power supply so that this power going to where the the sign's going to sit. And um over the next two or three months, hopefully we'll be able to get it done by shortly into the new year. Madam clerk, you got anything?
>> Good. >> Nothing. Okay. Thanks everybody.
