please call the role Miss Barrow here miss bford here Mr Chapel here Mr Haney here mayor Kelly here thank you um I notice there's nothing in here for public comment did was there I just didn't does anybody have any public comment that they'd like to come to the podium and state the name and address for the record before we get started we got 31 minutes to get through this to pertaining to the budget first 31 minutes is the budget um 1344 Stratford do we have two minutes or three not that I want to push it just go ahead and go okay um just a maybe an overall question um looking at the proposed budget we've got 2022 through 23 activity is that actuals year end actuals okay just wanted to make sure of that um first uh page down around uh Department 330 intergovernmental Revenue we've got two line items one for 208,000 I believe the other one for 46,000 like I don't know how you guys see these things um State of Florida payment beginning July 24 gives an amount we've got the notes are the same on both line items thank you I didn't do the math on that thank you um I have a question with regard to the general salaries which without going into each one uh each department I know at the uh Workshop I believe this the council discussed providing a 5% increase to staff is that included in this that's not correct no who gave you that information I believe it was on the meeting oh that was inaccurate um some people may have we gave a 3% Cola 3% okay thank you um on page seven of 13 uh with regard to the half cent sales tax improvements other than buildings um I remember asking this question at last year's budget um 22 23 it looks like we spent a little less than $6,000 I think we had about I thought it was more than that I thought it was about 40,000 and we had about 450,000 budgeted but regardless this year we budgeted if I understand 544000 we've spent a million one part of that came from $500,000 left over from 2324 and part of it also from 2223 that did not get spent you must be on a different page we have seven of 15 in front of us I don't see anything like that okay I just seven of 13 I've only got 13 Pages you have 15 oh thanks I have a ledger printer copier what department were you referring to um it's under Public Works Street Department Department 541 so anyway again we' spent a million one which I understand we had a budget for 2324 which is current year we had money left over from 232 2223 and I believe we have money left over from 2122 is there okay is there any more left over at the end of this year okay so we'll have some left over to I'll say offset the 750 got it okay and then we also have the Ador which is supposed to go to infrastructure and that is the first part of infrastructure right is that what Ador is being used for to run the city okay so then the utility money is used for Public Works what do you do when the money necessary to run the city exceeds the amount of rent you would get from Ador okay I don't see the question you ask the question I'm giving you the answer the question you're asking me is what I understood the adum was going to be used for infrastructure well through through public works right so that so 50 of this 750,000 that we've got budgeted is coming from leftover money from this year that we didn't spend yet so Paving is not the same as water sewer okay so good to know so then I'm really confused um the half cent infrastructure sales tax how is that used okay how how how was infrastructure as I'm just asking a question I'm sorry ma'am the clerk was referring to to something else could you please repeat the question yeah um we're saying here that the adalum infrastructure money is for sewer and water only but yet the half cent sales tax from the county for infrastructure road resur that kind of stuff is used for repaving how do we Define infrastructure two different ways I thought it would all be the same pie that infrastructure would be Paving water sewage it's not done that way because how could you pave a road if you don't replace the infrastructure it would just be Paving no I'm talking about where the money is allocated corre infrastructure is on the ground Paving is on top the ground call it infrastructure the state calls it that so it is defined by the state what it can be used for okay okay well that helps that helps tremendously um I know I'm out of time I guess that's all I have for now I do have one last question if I submitted questions to and to the accountant before the next meeting might I get answers to them you might okay might might okay if they're not too extensive is that a fair question you might okay thank you mayor thank you ma'am appreciate your time anybody else in the audience all right let's go through the budget ladies and

providing a mechanism for the correction of scrier Errors providing for the liberal construction of this ordinance providing for repealer Clauses and providing for an effective dat motion on a second got a first and second call a rooll please miss Barrow yes Miss bford yes Mr Chapel yes Mr Haney yes mayor Kelly yes I think this is the final item for tonight yes it's uh public hearing second reading for possible adoption ordinance 2024 d424 I open it to the public Mr SL could you explain to the public yes sir 2024 d424 is an ordinance uh which came through the Planning Commission at the direction for city council some time ago uh to address off- premises signs which are commonly known as Billboards and uh the uh the Planning Commission studied it and determined that based upon the uh the aesthetic needs of the city that they were recommending uh to prohibit future off premise signs and um and as a result result of that uh they uh they recommended approval of ordinance 2024 d424 however at at that time there were some Provisions that seemed to also apply to General signs and uh and those are included to remain in the Land Development regulation that's correct um so that's that's what this ordinance is about and U and I have not forgotten Mr Haney's request to uh look at uh the prior off premise signs that have been permitted and see what can be done relative to that I'm looking at it right now on page two uh I guess that's a d section two at the very bottom paragraph I'm sorry Mr aney what about it uh it's uh to me it seems like they could uh put a sign up without cost without any kind of franchise fee to the city no under prohibited signs on page one or off per signs they cannot put up any new off- premise signs so that prohibits uh new off- premise signs from going up then there's no issue of money or anything like that uh I don't know which um virgin you're looking at page two of the business impact estimate page two uh I guess it's section D part two lower paragraph So the one that starts with an estimate of the direct economic impact is that there are likely to be direct compliance cost assciated with ordinance 24-44 yeah there are there are unlikely to be direct compliance costs so the city should not incur any direct compliance cost no new charge or fee is imposed because you're just prohibiting new Billboards what about the the existing billboards well again this ordinance doesn't address the existing Billboards this is a prospective ordinance going forward again I I still have to come up with something for your we can Mo previously permit forward at another time as far as a as far as this is this is the first step in in the billboard process prohibiting future billboard understood we a motion to approve we're going have to close the public hearing first okay that's closed a motion for a second reading motion okay we have a motion we have a second okay Mr CH okay very good caller rooll Miss Barrow yes Miss bford yes Mr Chapel yes Mr Haney yes mayor Kelly yes ordinance number 24- 424 in ordinance of the city of Parker Florida amending the Land Development regulations ordinance number 2022 - 49 is amended to amend certain Provisions relating to off premises signs providing for severability providing a mechanism for the correction of scrivener's Errors providing for the liberal construction of this ordinance providing for repealer clause and providing for an effective date need a motion to adop council need a first motion adopt second can first and second you call a rooll Madam Clark Miss Barrow yes M bford yes Mr Chapel yes Mr Haney yes mayor Kelly absolutely yes thank you Council that was the last thing Mr Sloan do you have yes sir I have nothing else M Baron I have nothing M K nothing Mr Chapel no um other than uh here again U I turned in four more names for the uh memorial wall it's been very popular anybody wants to put their military person on the wall show how the forms in the in the water department okay um John you got anything yes sir I do go ahead we have a gentleman in this room right now that's being forced uh away from his property where he can't access it I'm sorry I can't remember your last name but you have this Mr Goldman U he he's being my opinion he's being forced a wait where he doesn't access to his property right and I I wish Mr Summerland can get a hold of the plans I guess there was a survey done the right away he knew he had is being taken away from right and I'm fully aware of what you're talking about I I I don't think we should discuss this in a public forum okay I think can we get with you during the week I've done some research on your behalf that you're unaware of um has anybody physically told you you use words you can't go on this property no he hasn't said anything right I've already spoke to Mr Sloan about this we're well aware what your situation yeah he said he own that thing well brought okay can you um that's not true okay um tomorrow when I get here you will be my priority I promise you and I'll reach out to the people I need to reach out to but he never one time said to you you can't come on this property right all right or he hasn't used himself to block you from coming on the property he has oh he has he has blocked he's put equipment on his property yeah yeah yeah he put equipment on the property it was rental equipment okay do me a favor will you if you'll work with me on this John I will get on this tomorrow with Mr suan it will be my goal tomorrow to remedy this because it's been going on for probably two months at least right now right um what you're unaware of I had a conversation with the neighbors on the other side to see how much of their property was absorbed by the rental equipment that Mr Haney is referring to and sometimes it takes little steps to get accomplished what you want okay okay well okay yeah which would flood your property which will flood your property and he can't get in and out of his building that's the thing correct so will you give me till this time tomorrow to resolve or attempt to resolve this but we what we need is a specific document that shows where your boundaries and your properties are did you get one when you closed I don't need to see it right now I don't want the whole world to see your business but uh you wouldn't by chance have an attorney would you no okay do you have Title Insurance yes can you give us a copy of your survey and your title insurance can you do that for me if I come see you tomorrow can you do it for me all right 0 okay that's fine I have therapy every day I get here I need therapy and our clerk needs therapy okay true when you're done you come on up here and we'll get together on this and we'll do something about it tomorrow I can't guarantee an answer tomorrow but I guarantee a start tomorrow all right right all right very good thank you mayor you more than welcome Mr Haney I only have one item and that is that um the applicants that we reviewed and we selected um for the clerk's position didn't work out during those interviews um what would you like to do we've got some more selectees that we could schedule for interviews would that be something that you would be susceptible to I to just go back out and uh see how many other people want to apply for the we got 45 Mr Haney Mr Mr Mr Chapel 45 applications don't insult me like that I'm sorry I apologize John can um Donna get us a group of them they pick out yes some to look at maybe we looked at them and looked at them and looked at them so the ones we gave you rank we rank those and this would be the ones that didn't make the top five out of your first 10 so some of you pick 10 some of you pick five some of you pick two but um if you'd like tomorrow we can pull out some names to look at and then we'll schedule call you with a schedule time to interview them and 30 minute increments would that be suitable I would prefer if the the the ladies office that that are running everything right now would have a minute to rank them theirselves and bring them to us that way they know who's going to mesh well and who's not going to mesh well so that was one of the concerns I had um that whoever we hired had to work in conjunction with the current employees however some of those individuals that may have worked well weren't necessarily qualified for the job so it's a fine line and um uh I think that if we look at the stack tomorrow and do you want to reconvene to go over five more that's really what it boils down to with with their recommendations of course okay so what day would y'all like to do that apparently we need to do like five days ago is what we need to do I you guys are over littered right now it's been a little rough Mr Haney if you'll pick a day for us we work with you day we need to find out if the people can meet we got to find out if the people in the office want them to work here or not first it's not the play okay I would be fine with with with office cler off us calling me and and tell me what a good day was I could work around that okay so what do you want tell me what you want to do Council I'm open Monday Tuesday or Wednesday okay do this week you only got one more day well Monday Tuesday well we won't be able to call them that quick no Monday would probably be the best day Monday would that be good for you guys yes sir Ron what you got in your book for Monday next Monday um not till 6 o' but that's when our league of cities meet dinner is okay League of cities at 6 o'clock in the morning 6 o' in the afternoon okay so so the question is do you want them in the morning on 30 minute intervals or do you want them in the afternoon I think in the morning would be better wouldn't it 10 o' or so 10 10 and on 11 okay good so the first interview will be 10 okay on what day Monday Monday should get all five done Monday no reason why we shouldn't okay so 10 10:30 11 11:30 12 done okay it good okay all right thank you ladies and gentlemen
