general public. Uh, we don't have a signup sheet, so I don't know if anybody signed up, but is there any public like to speak? Show hands. Somebody stole the signup sheet. So, all right. >> We're blaming on you regardless. So, okay. All right. So, next up is comments from the city manager. Pass over Mr. King for his comments.
>> No comments on this at this time, mayor. Okay. >> Next up is board business. Item number one, acceptance of proposal from Burns McDonald, US19 Grand Boulevard, drainage connection permit services. I'll pass that over to Mr. King for introduction. >> Um, at this point, I don't have any
comments. I'm just going to go ahead. >> You want S to cover it? >> You want a go? Um, council with discussing with Burns and McDonald who was our was our engineering firm working on the Grand Grand Grand
Boulevard US 19 project. um they've been in contact with FDOT and basically as part of the requirements of the permit, they're asking them to create a drain uh to to add a drainage connection permit
to to the to the application uh for the finalized permit to do the project. Um, with us tonight is I'm sorry I got his name is James Newton from Burns and McDonald to go ahead and explain the
details of what you know what this drain this strange permit is for and uh so you would have a better of understanding uh before making your decision tonight to move forward. >> James, are you with us? >> I am. Can y'all hear me?
>> Yes. Floor floor is yours. >> Thanks S. Um, as Sal said, we I am a um traffic engineer for Burns McDonald working on the um intersection at Graham Boulevard and
we've been talking with FDOT um pretty consistently for the better part of a year. They've asked us, we originally thought that this um would be exempt from a drainage connection permit. We were looking at
the Florida administration codes and um it said that it was exempt. We had under 1,800 square feet of of drainage permeable u material and then the threshold was 5,000 with our talks with FDOT. They
just wanted some additional insuranceances. So they told us, "Yes, you are exempt. Um we do just want some additional criteria." They gave us a list of seven or eight things. We talked back with the district or the district
office and then the um Brooksville office and we negotiated with them said, "Hey, a drainage uh geotech report really isn't necessary. Um it's not vital to determine if it's exempt or not." And so when we talked our final
decision with FDOC, FTO was um just a drainage narrative, not a full report, not a full um permit, just a narrative with the couple of modifications that they asked for. So we
turned that into a modified FDOT permit. And that's the the request is to continue on with that FDOT permit. um it originally was not in the scope because it was exempt and then when FDOT came back and asked for the additional
criteria, that's when we got into the situation coming to y'all um asking for the additional funds to finish that that criteria. So with that, if there's any questions, I'm happy to answer questions. >> Any questions?
>> So this is what we need to get the permit. another 128 gets us the permit or is there gonna is there any possibilities of other stuff coming out of the woodwork or >> No, we with talking with FD we anticipate that this is the very last
step before they approved to get the um plan sign and sealed the permit the general use everything said and done. We anticipate this to be the very last step >> and and vice mayor, this is something that we went into pretty much pretty deep detail with him when we had the
discussion reference the 128 that was being requested in addition for this um actual service that needed to be conducted in order for this to move forward. So that was it was something that um we ensured that there was not going to be something else that would follow this after the fact. So, we're
we're we're confident going forward that this is that one and final thing that will allow us to be moving forward and to start getting this project uh on the table and moving in the right direction. >> And after this part is done, then what kind of time frame is it before the
permit is issued? >> Um that's up to FTO. They had been moving faster than normal with the permit since we've been talking to them for a while. Um, I can't give you an exact date, but I would think in the
time frame of of weeks. >> And once this is approved, how how long do you guys need to complete your work? >> This is our very last step for it to be approved. So, all of our design is finished. Um, our plans are sitting,
ready to go, and then we're just waiting for this one approval letter from FDOT. Well, no. What I'm saying is is this this approval of the 12,000 whether or not you guys got to do something or you've already done it. >> Oh. Um the 12,000. So that's for about 50 hours worth of work. So a couple of
weeks, I would say two, three weeks. >> Okay. So you guys, so once we approve this, you a couple weeks to complete that and then it would go to DOT and they probably have a couple weeks in there hopefully to to be done. So we're talking about probably a month at least before the permit be issued.
>> Correct. I would not feel comfortable saying less than a month. >> Okay. Yeah. And that's probably, like I said, best case scenario. Sounds like >> Well, at least we're talking like months now rather than >> It kind of sounds like we don't have a choice. >> Yeah. Right. >> We're like right at the end of our rope. We've already spent all the money and
here we're >> by the way, you need a termite inspection. >> And I and I will say, >> but it's a concrete house. And James, maybe you can answer this just from your experience with with this or whatever, but it seems to me we've been working on this a long time and we've been in contact with DOT for a
long time and I've had conversations with uh with the secretary um to try to help move this along. It's it seems like it's almost we've been kind of strung along. We get to a point, oh, we need this. Okay, now we need this. Now we need this. What is that normal or is it
just we just lucky I guess this time? I will call I would call it lucky. Um they they do have a bunch of different requirements and and hoops to jump through, but this isn't the addition of the additional criteria that is
abnormal. But um what they're asking for, they're not asking for the world. So we've talked to them because we kind of felt the same way. We've talked to them pretty in depth and I think Sal was in on some of these conversations too
and they've assured us that this should be the very last thing that we're we're looking at before I get approval. >> Okay. Well, let's hope for sure. This is the final final final final. >> Uh it is >> okay. You got a motion?
>> Motion to approve the proposal from Burns and McDonald US 19 and Grand Boulevard drainage connection permit services. I second that. >> Can you also include your motion for the city manager and city attorney to negotiate contract? >> For the city manager and the city
attorney to negotiate the contract. >> And I second that. >> Second. >> Well, you were the first. >> Anything for you, Nancy? >> Thank you. Appreciate it. >> You were the first. >> Any further discussion? >> Any public comment? >> Seeing I put vote on favor signify
saying I. >> I opposed. Motion carries. go forth and uh get her done, James. Appreciate you. >> Thank you so much. Have a great evening. >> 19 crossing party. >> Thank you. >> Like we line up 150 golf carts like just
>> the Grand Boulevard opening parade. Yeah, >> I like it. >> Okay, next up is item number two, branding sign selection. I'll pass it to Mr. King for introduction. >> Um interesting piece as we looked at the sign process um and for the signs here.
Uh initially he got the uh the actual um description of them and actually got the images uh as you all saw prior to they looked pretty good and uh there were some adjustments and tweaks that you guys requested especially with the colors and what we're going to do is uh I'm going to have Derek show you those
today and um I think you'll be pleased with the end result that they came back with. Sir, >> so in your last meeting you selected this suite of signs with the kind of Vshape and wood look. You had three requests. One was to continue the
shiplap pattern across all sign levels which is shown here and your primary, secondary, your uh destination and your other way finding. >> Hey, let me pause it. So this is not on the zoom by the way. Does anybody >> It's not
just James. Okay. >> Okay. Good. >> And so you have your sign styles. And so the we've got that in there. Then you asked about the trim color, you know, looking at different styles of trim color, keeping in mind that we have to stay within what's going to be in your
design packet. So there's specific color codes that they use. And so you have your blue, you have your orange, we'll call it a yellow, and then you have something that's similar to the sign itself, call it brownish. And then the third ask was a video sign.
So initially they provided us with the sign stacked. We said, "Hey, can you do something that kind of incorporates the two together a little better?" And so on page 43, you see a design style that kind of incorporates the video board much better. What you can do with that
is you can, you know, steel screen the the emblem as well in there or anything else, but it seems to be a little more seamless and it allows you to see the actual design of the the frame before the other one kind of blocked a lot of the detail that we enjoyed about this
particular style. >> So, if you stop right on that night picture right there, >> I like the blue. That is a phenomenal. >> I like the wood. I like the wood on the side. the little the rusty whatever the side is there. >> It looks like this one may be a wood side with a blue face trim.
>> Yeah, like that. >> Yeah. >> So, what the reason I wanted to stop here is >> and I'm assuming this would be the one that be out in front of city hall. And >> so, so your different levels, right? So, your primary monument level will be your major entryways,
which could be the one out on the on Ridge Road here. Your second city even left. Yeah, your secondaries are more like your Washingtons and your Grand Boulevards. And then your destinations are going to be your PE station, your fire station, and your parks. >> So that sign with the light go back down
to that. That would be at the entrance to every point in the city. >> That could be your major entrance sign. Yeah. >> And then you know you wanted the video board that could be a strategic place for people to read the message. >> Could you go back on that one? How where's the light coming from? >> They incorporated ways to light this. On
this one, I believe they're doing up lighting that can be built into the structure or your pad there. >> It's back lit. >> It looks like it's coming through the still house. It's amazing. >> Back lighting and up lighting. >> That's That's a >> I cannot believe how good that looks. >> Yeah, but that's not what it's going to
look like. That's like AI drawing stuff there. >> I know. It probably look back like that. >> We're going to we're we're having them on the manufacturing piece with us. So, they're going to be very closely monitoring the actual production of this. So, it's going to be pretty cool. >> That's a game changer, son. It's
phenomenal. >> Well, if that's what if that's what you prefer, then we're going to emphasize that to them to say that's how we want it to light up at night. >> We don't know if that's that's what you discuss. Oh, go ahead, Bob. I'll let you go. Go ahead. >> Maybe at city city hall and maybe in the
entrance on 19, but you don't want to pay for that everywhere. >> You're going to So, after this election, they're going to produce the location guide. They were waiting to actually get the final on this. The location guide is going to show you where they suggest things to go. >> It's going to be in a map uh program, so you can move things around, but it's
also helps with maintenance. So, once we get to that point, you can select where you want. >> That would be very nice on a bridge. >> Second thoughts about because I love the kind of the rusty color of the frame and everything, but I like the navy blue wrapped around this thing here. Like,
>> yeah, that's the one I like the best. >> Navy blue one wrapped. This one here is a little too much. It's got too much. >> No, that's navy blue. >> That's navy blue one. That is a Navy blue. No, >> it's it's just a light. >> No, it's not. >> That's the same sign. >> No, it's wood on the side.
>> On the side. >> That one has the wood on the side. >> It just has blue one, but it's just a light shining. >> The blue one. Go back to the blue. That's different. >> I like the wood better, actually. >> I like the blue better. >> Well, it still has the blue on the front, right? Go down.
>> Just the actual side is wood. Is that Are we seeing that correctly? >> Yeah. Right. I thought I thought it was just a light shining on the blue. >> I think because there's a lot of wood going on on the whole frame of the whole thing, you know, a little bit change in just the sign itself kind of makes it pop. >> Yeah, but when at night time once lit up
>> you like that, but you want to change it to that. >> Yeah, but it's light more than than they're seeing it in dark. You know what I'm saying? They're seeing it all day during the night. I think it look that looks phenomenal. >> I mean, that sign right there looks like rocking stuff. And I like the fact that it it actually is 3D. It actually it's
not just a flat thing like that. It's actually Port Richie's um >> coming out for the sign. It's it's really cool. Yeah. >> Um so another thing, and of course I like the digital sign aspect of it, but if you couple that and you put a digital sign underneath it, you you lose that
cool look. So almost like you need to put the digital sign separate from that. >> No, I think the digital sign is fine. It's going to be it's going to be anformational sign. We're going to use it to communicate with the with the residents and I think it's not gonna take that sign there stands on sign that's a phenomenal sign and I think the
>> So you don't think you don't think putting a digital sign >> not connected with it >> you like this one >> no I like this one right here the one where you have a digital because digital signs stand alone by themselves and if they go bad they stand alone by themselves >> they talked about putting the signs like
a grand and 19 these would be entrance to the city signs but they'll they'll show us where they want to put the signs but I They're looking at a double option at Grand 19 for a video board. >> I I guess what would be different though is if you're putting the second sign at a major entryway and then you have that super tall sign somewhere else. Kind of
defeats the purpose of having a grand entryway sign. That's what their thought was on that. That's why they did a smaller one to incorporate the video sign where you could put it at a secondary level location, not your your big grand entrance >> like on Grand Boulevard or something.
I mean, you have a lot of folks stopping at the traffic light right there at Grandon 19 a lot. >> And that's where the tri that's where the golf carts will be across the digital sign will go. >> Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Digital sign, right? >> Obviously, that's going to be the main interest to the waterfront district >> here. Here we're just looking at which
digital sign option you want. The the location planning is going to be the next step after this. Okay. >> Okay. >> Right. So this I guess it's from a digital sign perspective that style there is that kind of incorporated and you have a separate digital below it where you have yeah where you have the the first option
they gave us was that separated concept and then the other one was incored digital connected >> integrated I guess here's here's here's that >> that sign there is is very specific in
size and dimension everything and if they ever have problem with the LED or you want to upgrade or something like that, you're taking up your sign to do it, you know. So, I I would say you don't connect it. You keep separate. >> I think so, too. >> So, one of the digital ones would be in the one in front of city hall, I'm
assuming, right? >> Correct. That's what we talked about today, right? >> That's going to be part of the location is an option. So, the digital sign is marked as a primary entrance way. So, you have basically three options for your primary. You have your standard sign no board. You have your your video
board. that's separated and your video board incorporated. So that's your that's so obviously you're going to have a probably a primary entrance sign that's not going to have a board. So we got that marked off. The the question is which of the digital board options do you want >> or here in city hall? Is that what's just big enough?
>> Well, it depend. So if we could keep if we if you want to distinguish between the two, we could we could say, hey, we want the bigger sign at city hall or you want the smaller sign somewhere else when it comes to the video board. Or you're going to have the primary monument sign without a board. It's your three options there depending on location.
>> I say let them, they're professionals. Let them bring what they suggest and then we can tweak it. >> I'm good with that. Long as you get a blue frame around and I'm good. >> So we could we could tell them that you like both styles of video board depending on location and keep those. Then the question is what uh color
frame. >> I mean I I would be willing to bet if you get an angled video board, it's going to be way more money. >> I would ask that one all together. I don't think we >> Yeah, I think get rid of that one right there. Yeah. >> What What's your thought of
connecting the two together on the first one so it's still a square but it's connected. >> You can do that. >> Just thinking >> I have no problem with that. Yeah. Connect them together. Boom. Yeah. >> So where it's not that weird angle, but then essentially you're you're probably going to come down basically take the gap out between the two in that first option there.
>> You could even if that was going to be a sign. Is that going to be like in front of city hall? >> It could be. So you would drop that whole video board down to eye level. You wouldn't keep it 6 ft. >> The location could be determined later. The both the options is good. >> What's up, Bob? Sorry. >> Is it a location would be different? The
location that's different. >> Our one reservation with that one sign is that you can't see the nice detailing of the top of the structure. So we could see if they could somehow drop it down and fit it to where you could still see that top arch on the actual >> connecting between it >> up and then the arch on top. You can't
see that. You lose that when it's up that high. to see if they can perhaps drop that down and squish them together, especially if you're going to have them come together. Yeah, you're going to miss that detail with the way that that one sign is. >> But would we right >> could we do Okay, go go go back. >> I think we're maxed about 20 ft, too.
So, we'll have to play with that. >> We bring down here. If we bring this down, then maybe they could build a little bit of this >> on time. >> Yeah. Yeah. I think that's a great idea, D. >> Oh, you know what? I didn't even notice that was missing from the top. >> Yeah. >> Right. Yeah. No, you definitely want
that. >> Yeah. >> Well, even like on the police department, they got they got nothing there. And I I like that little bit of top thing there. It kind of makes the whole thing. >> I thought they may It just may be where they have to enlarge a sign. It's supposed to be a smaller set as you get
to these different levels. We could we could mimic it like that secondary monument sign, but you'll have to shrink the font to put the location and the address in there and then still leave the top piece. Are those rods between there? Yeah. Okay. We kept them sturdy
so they don't disappear. >> But but you're already there so you could shrink it down quite a bit. Couldn't the >> the secondary monument and destination are the same size when it comes to the structure. They just took the top off. >> What they're trying to do is they're trying to show various levels of signage
and the detailing kind of diminishes as you get uh you know lower. If you had a sign on the building here probably even less. It probably just be a metal sign with some of the same design. >> Right. Right. You wouldn't have a mount. It just mount right on the building. >> So that's the point in that >> we want you like both these sides. Both
those signs are >> That's okay with >> We want this. >> You could there. Yes, that's what they were. >> So we want the secondary backing for these. So >> that's what we were talking about in that case, >> but we're not looking at adjusting the signage, just the actual pillar size
that it's on. >> Yeah. Just adding that piece on top of it. Making it all wood. So instead of instead of having this, we just take all of our signs and we put it on this back. Go ahead. >> We'll just follow follow the Okay. structure up. And then the only difference really on these signs, it's
going to be your font size and the place in the logo because you have more information on that destination sign. And then we're good with the directional. >> Well, we just leave the destination signs as they are. >> Directional sign. The same. >> The only thing they're missing is just the top piece. It really It's not a top
piece. It's actually a a whole structure back there. It's not just they're attaching a piece, right? >> So, they'll just follow the structure all the way through. >> Well, the directional is not missing that. It's up there. The only one that's missing is the police department. >> Yes. So, that's your that's your parks and other destination sites. So, we can
get them to add it look just like the secondary monument when it comes to the structure and just have the text too. >> Yeah, we just talked about that. >> Yeah. So they we want them all to have that on the top is basically is what everybody's saying.
>> So can can we can we agree or talk about the we love the wooden frame of the sign but we don't want to continue to put wood into the thing. We make that blue and then the rest of the thing wood looking. >> So on the where the >> housing of the
>> whole thing that right there. >> Yeah. The whole thing blue. Yeah. I think that'll that because that makes the port richie pop real real nice. And and the the wood still stands out. It's just it gets to be too much wood, I think. In the one that's all wood all the way around.
>> You want the interior of that pillar blue also? >> No, I don't. >> It's not supposed to be blue. I think it's just shadowing. >> Okay. >> I want the sign wrapped in blue. >> Yeah. >> On the outside. Yeah, that's what I want. I want that blue. >> Not wood. Yeah, not wood on the sign.
Just wood on the whole structure, the pillar. >> Is there any objections to what Chris wants? I I like it blue. >> Yeah, I do too, >> Christine. >> Um, yeah, that's good. >> What does the audience think? >> Public comment this minute.
>> I I like the blue. >> So, by consensus, we we like the blue around there. Um, >> we want to make all the tops on all of them. And I mean, everything else is perfect. The only the only thing I want to see is if we get a night view of that main
sign with the Port Richie sign lit up and the digital sign lit up underneath it to see how that looks because >> you're worried about taking away from it. >> Yes, because it's phenomenal without it and I so I do we want to put it there or have it separate somewhere >> the side or something.
>> That's a question. I'm sorry. >> So this sign here >> is awesome. If you put a if you put a lit up panel underneath it's going to take away from that potentially. I don't know. Maybe >> I I agree with you. I agree with you that it might be better to have that separate that digital sign separately.
>> I don't agree. I think you're you have to utilize the same structure because you got power at the same structure. You're not reduplicating another stand. It's one >> that's a that's a good point. >> It's a lot more money to put a whole another sign somewhere else. >> I just want to I want to see it before I
>> I I I'm with you. If I can say this, I think it's a great idea. Let's see it. >> Are the Are the LED signs hard to damage? >> I mean, here's the beauty of the LED signs. Okay, >> the I can drive by and take my 38 out, go bam, and shoot it, right? The sign guy comes the next day and pulls one
little 12-in panel out, puts it on this side, puts one on that side there, and you're up running again. >> And we have like 12 extra panels up there because they messed up on our order and gave us 12. So, you can shoot my sign once or twice. I'm still going to fix it. You know, >> not that I'm encouraging anybody shooting the signs over there, Chief. Yeah. But yeah,
>> being low to the ground for mowing purposes, a rock flying at it or something. >> These things are tough. They're they're really resilient. They're not soft anymore. >> Okay. >> I broke a whole um sliding glass window one time with a rock from a weeding. >> Timber glass is way different.
>> Okay. Making sure. >> We're going to express that concern when it doesn't design. >> No, >> they're they're little they're little 12-in panels that snap in. So, if you damage one, you pop out one, pop in another one. You do have to get extras. This is what I'll recommend.
>> Don't when you order this sign, get extra panels. And I'm saying if we have three or four of these things, I'd get like six or eight extra panels because when they make new panels, >> the the colors different. >> They don't match. >> The color is different. There's something about the color that's
different. Now, you just throw it in there, it's a whole different color. It's because the way they infuse it with whatever kind of power they do. Well, how far are the LED panels going to be from the ground then with what we're requesting? Because we don't want to be replacing panels all the time for flying
rocks when we're weed eating or mowing. >> You can't you can't hit this thing with a rock. I can throw a rock at my It's not going to damage it at all. >> Well, it's not going to be on the ground. But >> yeah, it's not going to be on the ground. >> It's probably be 5T 5T up. It's going to start about 5T. So, you're not going to
just I mean something could hit it, but I'm just telling >> it's not like your tempered glass door. >> Yeah, they would have to to put that on there. They would make that a little taller. >> Okay. >> So, email them tomorrow. >> Yeah. Looking at and get them to to make
those changes. We'll have to try to come back one more time on this. >> If they could like say if they produce a night view with the electric sign underneath and then work on this. >> Thank you. >> Yeah, they look great. Yep. >> I can't wait to drive in the city and see those. >> I know, right? That that looks awesome.
>> Beautiful. >> I can't wait to put these up. They're going to be great. >> All the bars up there, you can handcuff somebody to them if you get a whole bunch of people. He just >> don't get Hey, don't get any ideas. All right. >> Okay. Anything else on the section? >> He just say, "Hold on. We'll be back in
a minute." >> I'm going to open up public comment. Um by consensus, we're good with that. So, I don't need to put a vote, but uh any public comment >> on signs >> looks great. >> No problem. >> Awesome. >> I like the the blue all the way around. >> Yeah, blue's definitely way to go on that. Sure. >> Okay, so moving on to old business. Item
number three. Any old business? >> I had the one question obviously about the demos where we're at on on that because uh I know the so the stay my understanding is they have until the 11th to file their >> their attorney called me today. They'll be filing. >> Okay. So that's in the works. It's still
going to be stayed for a while. Okay. >> Yeah. The other thing is and I said there's several people in the public watching that and concerned about it. Um so just so you know the time frame if you share it once it's filed then it could be another 90 days before we have an answer. >> I know it's going to be longer than that
most likely. >> I want to say so the notice of appeal has to be filed by tomorrow which apparent I'm being told it will be because the the attorney called me. So assuming that's accurate, it'll be filed tomorrow. Then they I believe have 70 days to file their appellet, their
brief, their argu they'll have 70 days to prepare the document that will argue why they think the city committed some kind of legal error >> and then I believe we have 30 days to respond and I think they have 20 days to respond
to that and then you wait for a court to decide whenever the court is ready to decide. There's no there's no set time frame on that part. You just wait for the court. >> Yeah. So, we're probably at least six months. >> It could be. Yeah. You know, we'll see. >> Okay. >> It's it's going to be it's a slow process.
>> And then on the on the other one that we approved, where we at on that? Is that >> it's been scheduled or I follow up with development services. As far as I know, there's been no hold up on that. So, it should be scheduled to go forward. But, um the city manager and I will we'll find out tomorrow what the status is.
>> Okay. Uh, that's all hope is I have. >> This may not be CRA, but what about the one on Pure Road that we granted the extension? What's going on with that one? >> Oh, yeah. Good question. Yeah. What's is it? We don't have Billy official here, but uh >> the doctor the doctor's home.
>> I know they put the reason that at least I heard is that they they did put plans together to to move forward to fix it or whatever in the time frame they needed >> and a permit was issued. issued. >> So now it's in a permit process which I guess initials what 6 months I think. >> Yeah. I mean the permit's active. I mean
he can renew it but as far as the building official hasn't received anything like they haven't done anything yet but they they do have an active permit. >> You know how old your permit is? >> I have to find out how long I don't know how long it would go until they have to
renew it again. But it's I believe it's either three to six months and then he would have to renew again. So but I can I can get that information for you. Does work have to be done on it? Some amount of work have to be done on it before he can renew it or is it just renewable?
>> I'd have to find >> is discretion official. >> Okay. All right. >> So, um on demos and stuff in in general, um in that code is is we were talking about these different things. I can't remember if I mentioned this or not, but
uh our time frame is very very strict and and we don't follow it. Um I mean it's like with a certain couple week or two weeks we're supposed to be moving forward on this. So do we need to take a look at that code
to make that more realistic and more um because the way it is now it's I don't it's almost impossible to to do it based on the code. So I think we need to kind of look at that process. >> My computer is not working. I'd look right now talk about it but I'll look at it and see if there's something we need to tweak. >> Yeah. Because obviously that's that's a
very important process as we have uh individuals in that. So we don't want to we don't want to force rush things. >> I agree with you. >> Um figure out what the right time frame is. But I think it's >> and if we're not doing it then your code should mimic what you're doing. >> And I can tell you it's much more aggressive than Newport Rich next door
neighbor. I remember the numbers but it was uh it was it's like really >> um so we can take a look at that and fix that. >> Anything else old business? >> Yeah. Well, I don't know about old business, but I know people want the Brasher Park back together. Mhm.
>> I hope we can give staff directions on and we do agree they want a bathroom out there and we got two slab to put covers on and maybe they can work on putting the playground but I think if we get started we need to get started on that so at least we can get that done because it's going to take time to get the design and the bids for the bathroom.
But I think we need to give them direction and get started on that. >> So the placement of the bathroom and all that is is somewhat set but somewhat not. So, I we got wait for the final plan. >> This is the point of the regional planning council. They said they're gonna have this wrapped up in February.
So, in the meantime though, we've got a uh kayak launch grant that's being worked on currently submitted and we're working on a playground grant for the park. So, we got those two items going. I talked to the building official about the bathroom. It can be be floodproofed. It has it can stay on the slide on grade
flood proofed which will be a lot less expensive. So, that will help as well. So, we're waiting for them to tell us what to do with the bathrooms, where they want to place them. >> Well, they got to finalize their plans and then we have to >> location. >> You're you're going to ultimately approve. They're going to have their suggestion based on where the lift
stations at, which may very well be where it's at now because that's less work. You have to do less, right? So, but the final will show where everything's going to be placed. You let them know. Then we're going to cement it in so that we can do engineering. >> Have you talked to the lakeers about the
house? Any information on that? >> No, they haven't got that. >> Okay. >> What's that about? >> Still house talking about putting a replica still house out there. >> Oh. Oh, gotcha. >> And they got they got the plans. They got everything for it. And >> Gotcha. >> Make it easy.
>> Okay. Anything else? Old business. Okay. Then I'll move on to comments from the board. Uh start with my left this time. Vice Chair Mayor. >> Oh, vice chair. Mayor.
Um, I think I'm going to open up a can of worms. Just a little one. >> Okay. >> All right. So, um, >> Ashley's giving her eagle eye. >> She didn't even tell me to turn my mic on. She's like, I'm let you leave your mic on. >> She probably doesn't want to hear you.
>> I don't want to half-hazardly spend money at all. I also don't want to pass up great opportunities we could have in this community, you know. Um I'm I'm a different person than almost everybody
on this board here, you know, and I'm I'm not saying that in a negative way. It's just I'm different. Eric, you're different. You're different. Bob's different, you know? We're all different. But I'm I'm that I'm that raw entrepreneur with like this mindset of like, you know, take a chance. You know what I mean? Because a lot of things
I've accomplished in life has been when people look at it, they're like, man, that looks like a problem. I don't want anything to do with that. Turn right, go the other way. And I jump on it. And in my lifetime, 80% of the time that stuff popped and it worked. So, I just want us to talk about I'm not trying to convince
anybody here to do anything. I want us to talk about, okay, the bait shop property. I just want us to talk about it. That's all. Okay. I want us to talk about what that could be used for. as a CRA, I want to talk about what what the
risks are, you know, what the future development is. I want us to throw that on the table and talk about it. So, if I could open up the table with that, um I think there's probably an opportunity there. I think there's some willingness uh with the person who owns the property
to um be real reasonable and negotiable and and and helpful, you know, um you know, based on what he says. He he wants that in city hands because he wants to have that legacy in his history. That's
what he tells me, you know, and I believe what he tells me. So, can we talk about that? Do y'all want to? >> I would love to talk about that. >> Okay. Well, you go right ahead, Miss Christine. before before discuss is is I mean I'm okay to talk about it. >> If I want to make an agenda item so everyone can come prepared to talk about it. >> Yeah. That way public knows that we're
going to be talking about that. Um I mean we could have I guess if you want something specific specific. I I am a okay with saying that that'll be on the agenda at our next meeting right >> be two weeks >> and and I'm getting ready to look just to make sitt
>> so it'd be four weeks or around there. and vice mayor. Um, you you have received information from him. I have received information from him for ideas for the city and um, opportunities that he's willing to
for provide us with the property to include even maybe a long-term purchase agreement with it. >> So, we can put it on the agenda. I'll meet with you next couple days and you and I can sit and talk because that's legal. You know, I can't talk to anybody else. I'd like to have a meeting with you about this as well.
>> Okay. >> And and and let's put on the agenda for the 10th of March because I'll be available on the 10th of March. >> Okay. >> Okay. Okay. >> I'm okay with that. >> Ashton, we're getting ready to go home.
>> Don't speak too soon. >> Make a motion we Hold on now. You don't get to talk by yourself. >> I'm done. Let's go home. >> You just shut me down. >> Well, no. I was willing to talk we'll talk about but I want to make sure that >> I ask the attorney
>> I think that's a big item that everyone needs to come over here for a little bit here a little bit especially if he's talking >> no no no I think it's a good idea everyone >> okay >> I talked to him about that
>> back in September >> okay got information going on >> no m waiting for you >> I'm good Okay. Member, >> I'm fine. >> Member Sullivan, >> I'm fine. >> I didn't get convinced. You're fine.
Motion to hold on. >> I have nothing as well. >> In celebration of Bashley, there's nothing for you either. >> I I'm definitely not going to get on Ashley's bad side. >> It's eight after eight. How about that? So, >> who wants to make the motion?
>> He did. >> I did 14 times. >> Oh, okay. All in favor say I.
