pass it to Mr copper for his comments thank you very much and good evening everyone um I did submit in writing this report that everyone should have received earlier if you went to your uh one drive but uh real quick uh received notice from uh Captain Seltzer director
of the county dispatch services that uh last last week I guess it would have been um the consolidated communications board met and unanimously approved the city of Port Richie joining the consolidated communication center mr hurdle clear the next step to present
the a is to present the amended interlocal to the board of county commissioners and he anticipates that that will occur sometime uh in the next month or so so hopefully by the end of May um that will be I will let you know as soon as I get that schedule uh the
city's received notice has been awarded $450,000 to the highway landscape reimbursement program to enhance and beautify the state rightway along US19 from the river to the west of Leo Kid Avenue the money can be used for approved landscaping projects within the
state rightaway the city must submit a letter of acceptance within 15 business days to acknowledge the city's intent to participate um then the next step is to enter into an agreement with state which will require a formal vote from the city council agreement will outline the permissible activities that the city can
undertake to enhance and beautify this area um tonight if uh we get a consensus to go ahead and send that letter of intent back to them yeah can I get a consensus any any objections where is that particular
so this this is from the river to west of Leo Kid Avenue so it's through the intersection uh ridge intersection so a little bit bit north north to the river so it's does it include 19 yeah it's all
maintained yeah this is US us 19 right away where we can do it we just recently did one of those county not inside not inside the city city did that was a cleanup that's what you're talking about no no no that we had done
that was in 2018 okay that the the medians were were done right we're in 2018 so we asked for additional funds to go ahead and either redo them or or now we're allowed to do the entire because we didn't get any the last time maybe
i said maybe get some palm trees since we didn't get any the last time so we can expand on what we have perfect how much did we get in 2018 about 180,000 yeah it wasn't It wasn't as much we we inflated from what we asked for
last week yeah there there are specific things that this money can be spent on irrigation and that irrigation might be good yeah so there's number of things and once we get into the agreement stage that's where it'll lay out what are the permissible uses
and part of that you know I think we're allowed up to 10% of the 4 to 50,000 to do uh design and engineering so so once we get to that stage then we'll have a better understanding of what's possible then we'll start talking about what it
is we want to do so no objections right oh okay there you go ajax paving is uh preparing to begin the milling and reservicing of Bay Boulevard city staff recently participated in a pre-construction meeting with Ajax to review project details and logistics
paving expected to begin in early May and will take approximately 10 days to complete advanced notice will be provided to residents with signage placed along the corridor at least two weeks prior to the start of construction given that Bay Boulevard is the sole access point for residents on the west
side um and that the available rideway that they'll be working in uh is somewhat limited size-wise we anticipate this project will cause significant uh disruptions of travel in that area uh we kindly ask that uh for patience and cooperation during this time as this
work is essential to improving the long-term safety and condition of the roadway so on that before we move on obviously that's the middle of our centennial celebration stuff and so that is probably not the greatest time to do
that the parade is scheduled to be um on the south parade is 17th right saturday um and I know that before when they that they gave us a time frame it slipped a little bit
there was some weather and stuff in there as well um so we definitely wouldn't want to be doing that while the because the parade has to cross over Bay um and of course you know all all the resident stuff going down Waterfront Park and whatnot and then the week
before that is the um what do we move to the the 10th the That's Yeah so that's Walmart that's the food truck card show would be an issue so that should So is there a way that that could be shifted a week or two
maybe start late well I April but we don't have that control you know what what I think and this is surprising to me because they told us it would probably be six weeks or more before they would be able to confirm a date for us so this must have been an opening in
their schedule um so if we go back to them and say this is not a good date um we could be looking well beyond that when I say early May what does that mean exactly exactly what that means early May could be May 1st could be May 10 well if it
was May 1st that' probably work um is there a way we could hone in on Well that's a little you know this is what I know today okay you know where they get back to us and give us specifics in terms of here's the start date okay well if you could just share
kind of our centennial schedule with them see what they are actually paving from to and from Wilkins all the way down all the way to channel all the way to channel yeah the whole road well they're going to have to have
ingress and egress on one lane while they're working and they're probably working at night right you know during the day so we are aware of all of those things and and obviously we'll we'll work to see if it's you know not going to start
until like right today before the parade we probably won't let them start the day before the parade so we'll see um wanted to point out uh to the council that uh you'll need to appoint a new representative to the 2125 coastal
resiliency committee um that term expires uh at the April 22nd and we'll need uh a representative appointed prior to that yeah we can um handle that in boards committees coming up
um um the last thing I had written I submitted uh the formal swearing in for the new police chief Frank Roserio who happens to be sent back there um will be on Monday April 21st at 4 pm here in the council chambers those
interested in attending this event are invited to come uh what I say 4 and the last thing that I didn't have written down for you I wanted to introduce and have him come up here derek
Smith right there uh he recently started with us as the CRA resiliency coordinator with the city he joins us coming from the city of Clearwater where he was in their emergency management operations yes uh thank you good evening uh but I am a
local uh born in Newport urgy and uh been living in uh West Pasco from Holiday to Hudson my family's been here for about 60 years so know the area pretty well so happy to be back actually and uh excited to get some things rolling uh my background is in emergency
management resiliency things like that i have a PhD in criminal justice and emergency management focus on resiliency and um I'm really excited to be able to use that knowledge and really get some things going here for the city welcome we love this chair thank you for having
me that's all I have thank you sir okay next up is comments from the board's committees uh I'll start with the Centennial Committee we met and uh
so we so we had a resignation on the on the committee um and that it was Cheryl Taylor and she actually had the two events the car show and a food truck night and so we that was scheduled for this weekend I think originally wasn't it and so obviously we've we've we've talked to Ocean Honda it was going to be
over there we've we've moved the date to uh the 10th of May or sorry is that yes 10th of May 10th of May um keep dates messed up but yeah 10th of May which is Mother's Day weekend mother's Day is on a Sunday obviously this is a Saturday
and so we we talked with TJ Lombardo um he actually did the Newport Richie Centennial Car Show and he was I tell you what when he you know I talked to him on the phone to and asked him to come into to the meeting and I mean he just really laid it on as he's going to take the ball and run with it and u so
we're hopeful that's going to be a very successful event he's already kind of got the word out there and he's getting a lot of interest he's going to do the trophies and everything and the only thing that really changed on that event was that it went from a $15 car registration to 20 that goes directly to him we don't pay him anything he just
runs with it and he also has a food truck network he's going to book all the food trucks for that thing that's going to come through the city he's going to basically reach out to him send them to us we get to keep that fee um so hopefully that that's going to go off very well actually I was excited to hear all he had to offer so Walmart's
authorized the place right and Walmart has has authorized the back part of their parking lot to do that so I think it's going to be a really good event sure um what else on Centennial we uh are getting ready to mail out the invitations to all the
dignitaries we're inviting i finished up the letter um Kim is trying to get it formatted same size as the invitation uh they're addressing envelopes so those should go out any update on that sound by the end of the week or first in action to be determined to be determined
okay very soon yeah so get those out very soon i Anything else of note she's thinking style that we should we Oh we did get the t-shirts so we got the t-shirts in look great um we're going to sell those for $15 a shirt um we also
got the challenge coins in both have been posted so they'll be out on you know the website and Facebook for people to view what they look like and also you know um I just I'm actually I'm finishing up right now so yeah check the website the
the challenge coins we're going to sell those for 10 um we got enough everybody that goes to the mayor's ball will get one of those um but if we got enough for that but we're going to sell them along the way and if we need to order more we will but they turned out really nice it's the city logo on one side and you
flip it over and it's the uh Centennial logo they look really nice and those are $10 if you want to buy one or if you like I said if you go to the mayor's bowl you get that for for free and they just buy them pick them up here um there was some emails that went out on for the board's committees some
confusion on what the pricing was but uh just to uh reiterate what that is so the board and committee member gets a free admission to the mayor's ball and if they if they want to bring somebody it's full price which is $100 so but the board committee person does get their their ticket for free
any time capsules I did mention time capsules uh be thinking about what you want to put in there obviously the committee is going to put together some things and then each each council person would have a packet that they would put in there with some whatever things you want um we did purchase a a large uh pot
that seal it's a stainless steel pot it's really nice it's got a silicone seal on it clamps down uh we're going to put the city logo on it uh that way when it gets buried it um we don't have to worry about we going in the same hole yeah we got to do the same hole i don't think we talked about that but I would
assume we would do the same area but I mean it was a kind of a narrow tube the last time is that pocket will fit in there little wider softer so we're going to accommodate the hole so it's fine because they already back filled the hole so we're just going to use the same
building new hole yeah but the pot's really wide i mean it would it would basically you know a manila folder like we had in those other ones it would just they would slide down in there without being What's the size like 18 by 18 circumference it's 15 and 12 inches wide and about
about 15 almost about about 13 14 inches high so it's like a almost like the same size as a five gallon bucket just a little shorter than a five gallon bucket and so after they open it whenever they open it 50 years 100 years from now then they could fry a turkey as well it's very
if they're still into frying turkey yeah exactly it is possible it's probably big enough to put two turkeys in that sucker i think it's it's a big one so anyway so I think that's pretty much all the updates we had so we got turkey in every spot yeah exactly so we're uh we're moving forward with the events i know
the fishing tournament and the um golf tournament are coming up um so hopefully we'll get those events off the ground business expo as well the business expo I think we've got do we get do we get to 10 i think there is 10 i think we got 10 so that's you know I was kind of we were hoping to at least have that many so she
be pick up some more 10 entries oh that's all I've got from the centennial and what was the date on the We have to have our time capsule dated by Good question so we're going to do all that burial stuff in the morning of the 18th and so 5:18 yeah and I So what
we want to do is have everything by May 12th is what we said wouldn't it sound yeah at least the week before yeah so the Monday before we want to have everything ready to go okay any other boards committ i don't think we have anybody else here do we okay um so that being said going back to
Matt's comment about filling the 2125 coastal resiliency uh council representation seat um anybody want to make a motion for Yes I Bob okay nominate Bob there with his experience on the water I think he'd be
a great asset for that team okay is there a second second okay have a motion a second any further discussion on it no bob's not here let's do it if you're not here you get assigned duties right any public comment oh congratulations
dang we should have got it done a little faster uh just to catch you up so we we're they just nominated you for the 2125 coastal resency position i know you expressed interest in it before so I it's probably not surprised to you accept the nomination I hope right i'll
accept it okay it was seconded by Lisa we going to Any further discussion any public comment see no hands I put to vote all in favor signify by saying I i opposed motion carries welcome to that committee um one question I did have but I'm not sure how that works they always
call it a council leazison for the CAC which Linda also occupies um but I don't think the resolution actually specifically states that's a council member they've always kind of called it that that was debated back and forth that it really wasn't a liaison position
i'd have to language did she say whether she was going to stay on that committee or not she wouldn't be the leazison well she wouldn't be the leazison all right but um obviously she can still stay on it sure do do we do we want to entertain a blazison on or do we need that or wait we play it
by we do that at the next meeting sure okay perfect okay next up is a consent agenda look for motion motion to approve um the consent agenda for April 8th
10th well it says April 8th on this well mine says 10 what are you looking at i'm looking at the notes oh you're looking at the actual Oh I'm I'm on the agenda i'm looking at the actual document yep motion is there Is
there a second april 8th second okay motion second any further discussion any public comment seeing none I bring to a vote all in favor signify by saying I i opposed motion carries okay next up council business item number three purchase of Zo equipment i'll pass it to
Mr cop introduction the uh fire department received a grant through the uh department of health to purchase a ZO X series advanced monitor and defiill autos
NXT CPR device and AED Pro utilizing or I guess A Pro is the end of it is that all of what it is i thought it was just one thing no three things yes three three separate things so I bring him into it because he knows
all about it right and so now he's going to start uh the purchase in front of you is for the purchase uh like Mr copler said we were awarded the Florida Department of Health grant fund um last year to help move us towards the advanced cardiac
life support that's in our casual improvement um this is allowing us to purchase a monitor um a autopulse device and an AED Pro um so all of our vehicles after this purchase both engines will have a monitor an ALS monitor and all of
our vehicles will have an AED um on them at all times and then the CPR device um is a device that provides high level compressions to patients um it's different than your traditional hand um CPR I guess you'd refer to it as
bumping on the chest um this squeeze the heart completely um and the rate in which they're reviving patients uh they're seeing at 80 to 90% rate of revivable patients you know so you got to extrapolate that information down
that means 80% of people we put it on that they're going to come back to saying that they're with the high quality CPR so all three uh the zo autos and the advanced monitor will actually work together and it will tell you if the compressions and everything is being
done correctly or if not and they also will um do the ventilations of the patient tell us how effectively we are being ventilations i will also point out that this is uh being purchased off a cooperative agreement uh contract um so it has been
publicly bid uh through that and awarded so on the pricing there was one thing in there that was highlighted it was contract of 51,000 this contract summary that what the grants for I believe right yeah so so unfortunately because the
grant is going off 2019 pricing um we went through this with the Florida Department of Health we went through this with the air trailer a lot of the grants are still using 2019 pricing obviously 2020 2021 all the prices skyrocketed we went back to the Florida Department of Health and said "Look here's where we're at." They kind
of said "Well that's what we have to award you guys if you want more but you can't get less you can't not because we did put in for the grant for an AED an auto pulse and a monitor and a glide scope um but the glide scope's from a different individual and that's the
$4,000 purchase um so we can't not fulfill the grant so either we don't do the grant or we do the grant so we're getting 51,000 from for the grant yeah we're getting a total of the uh the state of Florida we are
getting Yeah 51,675 see what what I was trying to figure out is just that what is it we're buying looks like we're buying about $71,000 worth of stuff so we're going to come out of pocket 20 correct okay but that's
not in the summary and that's when we present data like that say "Okay we're buying A B and C the total cost is 71,000 a grant's going to cover 51 and we're going to have to um pay a share
which or matching whatever for the balance and that basically walks us through the numbers so that we don't have to dig so so far but we it seemed like I don't know if some of these other ones have to pay more attention but on the fiscal impact cost revenue statement seemed like that would just be right
there our our net is 20 $20,000 on this that's our impact right Okay so this is all budgeted everything's Yeah y motion or [Music]
discussion i need a motion you going to ask the public if if we get if it's if it if it motion to approve okay okay second i have a motion a second any further discussion any public comment danny welcome
and my name is Danny Phills 8114 Leo Kid you know you guys already know that I lost my wife so uh that one of that device that he talked about when they come in cuz I was doing CPR and so while they was trying to get her to the ambulance they put that machine on it it
did it for him and it monitored her and time they was getting out there that it already let them know that uh that you know she her heart started beating again and so they could monitor that so these are equipment that that we need for our
residents and for us as well to have that response because you know it'd be hard trying to do that and then load them and you know and doing all that at the same time so these equipments make a big difference so I that was the first time ever seeing one and so I was having
a visual of all that and so I'm for the equipment so that that' be what I would say yes to for me thank you thanks Danny anyone else okay see none bring back for a vote all in favor signify by saying I i opposed
motion carries okay next up is item number four approval of the 287G task force memorandum of agreement i'll pass it to Mr cpr for introduction on August 12th uh 2006 United States Congress enacted 8 USC section 1357g as amended which allows for the
delegation of some powers of immigration officers to state officers and employees commonly referred to as participation in the 287G program on February 13 2025 Governor Dantis signed and enacted
Senate Bill 2C Chapter 25-1 Laws of Florida amending section 908.104 Florida statute directing local governments to use best efforts to support the enforcement of federal immigration law united States Immigration and Customs Enforcement has
issued a memorandum agreement the 287G task force model MOA the MOA for participation is an agreement between the Port Richie Police Department and ICE for the implementation enforcement of the MOA which is for the approval of trained law enforcement officers perform
certain ICE functions under the direction supervision of ICE with within Fort Richie jurisdiction not all Fort Richie Police Department personnel will obtain the delegating authority of an ICE officer only those individuals who are nominated trained and receive
specific authorizations from ICE will have such authority um I don't know Captain if you have any you want to add to that and if he doesn't I don't know uh city attorney wants to I don't there's a
memorandum I think that was included in the agenda that I had provided just kind of giving the overview of what this means um there's a couple things with the agreement itself that concern me about liability i don't think they're going to change it because of my concerns so I don't think that's something we can can get changed um but
there are some comments in the in the memo that you can read just so you know that and understand that there may be liability um on behalf of the city and behalf possibly some of your officers um so there's um some some questions that remain um that at some point will be
clarified and addressed um but I will say and that's what Mr hobbler and I have talked about that this is the first step the statute requires the city's best efforts um if you do not give your best efforts and best effort is not defined um if you have been following this in the news um the governor's
office has threatened to remove people from office so I suggest you give your best efforts and move forward with this and we'll see where it takes us um once the approve once you approve it it goes to um ICE and then they approve it um
once they do that if they do that then the chief I assume at that point it will be the the chief will have to um propo you know provide somebody put up nominate somebody from from his his crew to to be part of this and then they
if they accept that person then they move forward with that so there are chances that your agency is not even used they might be I mean you just don't know that part yet um but I think best efforts would be that we do the step even though I have concerns
motion to approve the 287g task force memorandum of agreement second motion second any further discussion any public comment seeing none put it to vote all in favor signify by saying I i opposed motion carries next up item number five division of emergency management
subreient agreement for the hazard mitigation grant program award i'll pass it to Mr cop for introduction thank you uh staff submitted a grant request to the Florida Department of Reges Management for $247,200 in funding for the acquisition
and installation of generators at four pump station located on uh Bay Boulevard Olner Street Chapel Avenue and Kener Avenue currently these pump stations have no backup power and when the power is lost film crews are required to constantly monitor and pump down the
station's wet wells manually until power is restored the installation of these generators will keep the pump stations running during power outages or severe weather events on December 30th 2024 staff received notification that the grant request had been approved for
funding of $179,56.94 from FDM's HMGp and so we are asking tonight obviously for uh council to approve this this award for a motion and discussion

motion to approve item number five uh for the management subreient agreement for hazard mitigation grant program award or allow to sign it yeah second motion second any further
discussion any public comment seeing none to put to a vote all in favor signify by saying I i i opposed motion carries that's all council business next up is old business is there any old business
discuss i know we had some lights installed additional lights around the city i'd heard from some res happy with the additional lighting yeah uh and I went out last night to confirm um it looks like all the lights are up there so um I'm just going to
double check with Duke Energy and confirm they haven't sent me an email yet but it looks like they put the ones up we had two on Nidra we had one on the corner of uh Cody Avenue and Old Post Road uh we had one on the corn on the corner of Bay
Boulevard and Green Street um Boulevard where bay Boulevard and Green Street oh we got a line that's a new line now yeah there's another notice pay attention to that um and I believe there may be another one
down Bay Boulevard but I have to check the list i was going to update old business on the next agenda yeah I just heard from folks that they they're really happy with that but was dark now is light so yay
any other old business no more old business but I did bring up something this week in case anybody else noticed i wondered why um there were so many business tax certificates that um were not renewed all at the same time yeah several there were a lot yeah there were
a lot all at once and so I I personally had concerns with why were there so many at once like so there there's got to be some some better form of communication to get out they're actually due October 1st i know and yeah that was explained to me matt
explained it to me and his reasoning all made sense and it did all make sense but it just I'm just bringing up that I I saw that and thought "Dang that's a whole lot of those all at once." And I just wondered why i didn't know if anybody else noticed yeah i just Yeah they just go through people procrastinating
yeah they're following up we got some uh time from uh doing storm related stuff and they started uh following those you think it was more so because of storms this year or it happens every year because they just forget every year it's every year yeah yes i mean it just I'm
just bringing it up you gave me a good re you know when we talked about it but it just I just wonder if everybody else knows because it just seemed like it was so many i think I think this year the difference is that in the past we we probably chunked them a little bit
differently and because of what we're going through with the storm we couldn't chunk them the way we were chunking them so now it's everyone we can get through as fast as possible
those are all NOVs I guess that no citation um well it depends some some are NOB some are citations depending upon when they were sent and and just if somebody's let's say they cease to
operate I guess they need to come in and tell us that they've ceased to operate y and if they get that citation they can just say oh I closed my business and I would take care of it great he made a good point in that too because he said you know and even with the hurricanes there could have been businesses that went out we just don't know about it which would have added to
that number so yeah and you know and we we sent out uh a letter to the businesses related to the uh planning and zoning board's meeting on signage and you know from that we received a number of them back that weren't
delivered so we know that there were businesses that went out uh that was and that list came from the the BTR list so right anyway that was it i just want just any other old business
old business yeah you know we like to you like this part of the agenda don't I got new business I guess okay let's let's roll on to that then all right so next up is comments from the mayor city council i'll just turn it right over to council Mueller um I was looking at the reports and I noticed the activity
report in the police department i kind of like this this format uh this new format that you've got listed there uh I'm noticing that the red light camera numbers are actually rising um and I'm
hoping hoping that's a good thing for us revenue-wise but um I noticed that you do have those signs fly or the uh speed signs out there trying to get people down um
and we we have two red light cameras at Gr one at Grand and one at Ridge is that right there's two locations there's Grand Boulevard and Ridge Road okay grant Boulevard has north and southbound so two different cameras there right ridge Road has northbound and there's two cameras
southbound okay there's five active cameras at two okay and then uh we're actually you know we're not track we're not tracking those that
expire do we have a list of of red light camera tickets that have not been or met the time frame where we can't u enact on right and within the 30 days within that 30 days are we tracking what's falling
off and we're missing an opportunity there so in in the system report it it it shows them as I'm trying to remember the the the verbiage that they use um controllable exceptions I believe is is
what they fall under um my my garbage might be off slightly but it's it's another as far as broken down to where you can see any that we're not you know acted upon within that period of time i'm thinking that might be a piece of information that would help enhance this
data to see that hey we're closing the gap on that i know this thing we had some gaps in the and red light camera last year and we saw a decline in revenue and I don't you know with these three three times it's it's gone up and we've
got more people in the March time frame so it looks like things are improving which is a good thing so yeah and I I think I'm trying to remember last month when we had our meeting what those numbers were i I don't recall that there were any exceptions i don't believe that
yeah there there may have been exceptions but none of them were for for that reason yeah for that reason right but maybe we want to another little metric just to see that zero every time just to see that it's moving the right direction yeah um uh and then in
the in the communications uh file I get or section of this uh file I guess the um just about every column in the percentage is is zero or one uh with the
exception of this thing directed patrol perform I believe that's when somebody's assigned that day to work and they're out there driving around right and doing doing a patrol right it can it can be a variety if if
an officer goes out to a to a business and and actually does a physical check of the business they may put that in as a directed patrol um or if they're patrolling a specific location or or something of that nature i'm just wondering if we pull that out of these
metrics and show that as a separate line but but then everything else is uh you know an event or a burglary a citizen assist or something like that so that we can get a better handle on what
the percentage of of out that fall outside of directed patrols uh are happening you know because most of these are 01% it kind of you don't really get a good feel you know so if we just drop
that out of the calculation and put that on a separate line say okay for the month of March we had directed patrols of 900 directed patrols and then everything else bump it up against the remainder so that we get bigger
percentages to see where where the issues are right i I I don't believe if I'm understanding you correctly I don't believe that I can can take that out of that report because it's a canned report that we Is it exportable i don't believe so i have to double check the system
okay all right i'm just I'm just thinking outside the box here if that might be something we we look at and I did notice you guys had a hit and run and a vessel stop so you're getting
some use of the boat thank you that's it i was uh noticed the other day that one of my neighbors Frankenfield jumped out in front of a truck that was speeding down the road and made him slam on his brakes almost hit him the guy gets out and they get in an altercation
in the middle of the road and the guy wind up chasing Frankenfield back into his house but yeah I see you got on here the speed dumps we'll be talking about them at the car show on Saturday I believe well that car show was cancelled
right that event was um so they're actually going to be coming to the uh swearing police chief swearing in and having a booth there at that so you want to talk to them then yeah so you can talk to them when they come in
okay i got a meeting at 6 that day too all right car show you talking about the one that was going to happen can the centennial yeah oh yeah the one that was going to be at Ocean right yeah what's
that have to do with the speed bump so well it's on there it says you're going to have a a conversation a study and a workshop on the safe street yeah the safe streets for all cancelled engineering firm doing that was going to have a booth oh booth at the car show okay gotcha because we're getting we're
running up to where we need to get that report done and so they wanted at least one more public event okay uh to try to elicit more information so we're going to have a public event yeah it's a combo book yeah uh unfortunately the only one that is
coming up that will be somewhat public is going to be well there'll be the uh the uh swearing in right okay swearing in of the police chief what's
the swearing in of the council that's next meeting 22nd okay yeah yeah that was a chain no Monday that that provision passed right yes okay anything else councilman Burke Councilwoman Burke
okay uh only thing I uh had was I was no meeting today and this is really probably NPO but I I talked to um uh Nick Erin with um the county i had reached out to him a few months ago whatever there's a
section of Congress that uh you may be familiar with it's all 35 mph on both sides and then going down but there's right after you turn off a bridge it's 45 for just a very short period of time until you get past what used to be Pine Hill right well not on the way Pine Hill
actually it's it changes like right after the uh that big well Matt Todd's property right after Matt Todd's yeah just a very short I don't know why there's been 45 so I brought that to their tents and they did some studies and that's going before the B board border of county commissioners to reduce that to 35 as well and what that does
obviously is it opens that up for low speed vehicles to come across there otherwise you'd have to go all the way up to Regency to cross um and that so that's going to happen very soon the I wanted to use that as a lead in to start talking about the whole golf cart portie
um area because we've got the maps out there you'd brought up before about there was some inconsistencies i don't know if those ever got fixed or whatever in our ordinance map um no they never got fixed and I know there's some county roads that we probably can't we can't say whether or not golf carts can be on
them is that correct or do you know like Washington is that is that ours or is that county is that Washington's not a county road that's a city road congress that's county road well part of Washington may be county but not in our city well anyway so what what I'd like to do in
preparation as some of these development things and whatnot starts to happen I'd like to try to take a overall look at our golf cart footprint within the city and see if we can fix some things like I don't see why you can't take it on Washington all the way um why it's excluded I don't know but we could look
at shoring up some of that got traffic issues on Washington first don't release Lisa people speed down there same as Grand they're they're both the same grand Washington are the same they're straight in their stretches and Yeah Washington seems worse and worse
but Washington's bad from the curve from the curve in Newport Regie clear up because it's a straight shot it's just a straight shot so come around that corner you hit the gas so if there any interested in looking at that or Yeah definitely let's
see if we can open up um I think that's that's pretty much it so I'll take a motion to adjurnn if anybody wants to i'll make a motion to adjurnn okay second thanks motion a second all in favor signify by saying I
