Temple Terrace, it's go time. Our 50th annual Fourth of July parade is happening on July 4th at 10:00 a.m. There'll be golf carts, marching bands, and everything patriotic. Make sure to bring your lawn chairs, sunscreen, and did I miss anything else, Kevin? I mean, just the entire nighttime celebration,
which will happen here on the first fairway at 6 p.m. Come out for live music, food trucks, and plenty of space to chill out before the 9:15 fireworks show, weather permitting, of course. See you on the fourth, Temple Terrace. Let's make it a blast. Hey everyone, I'm Assistant Fire Chief
Shane Salammon with the Temple Terrace Fire Department and I'm here to provide you with a few safety reminders to get you through your holiday fun and firefree. Let's talk a little bit about grilling safety. First, always grill outdoors. Never put a grill in your garage or in
your home or your apartment. Keep grills away from anything that might be flammable like an overhang, a fence, or any dry leaves. Never leave a lit grill unattended. Sometimes the unexpected can happen, and we want to make sure that you stay injurree and no damage to your
home. Next, let's have a spray bottle or fire extinguisher nearby just in case the unexpected does happen. Let's talk about fireworks safety. Hey, we know that fireworks are popular part of our Fourth of July celebration. But consumer fireworks can be dangerous
and they can cause injury, especially to children. Every year, hundreds of people end up in an emergency room with fireworks injuries that they were not expecting. So, we encourage our residents to attend a professional fireworks show instead. Speaking of professional fireworks
shows, the city of Temple Terrace is having an awesome fireworks display this year, and we think it's going to be the best one yet. It's going to be this Friday, July 4th, at the Temple Terrace Golf and Country Club. There's going to be live music, fantastic food trucks,
all starting at 6:00 p.m. The fireworks show starts at 9:15. The best part about it is that you get to come and enjoy without having to worry about injuries. Don't have to worry about the mess to clean up, and you get to have all of the fun.
So, come be part of a wonderful community fireworks tradition. And from everyone here at Temple Terrace Fire Department, we wish you a safe and happy Fourth of July. Good evening everybody. I'll call the meeting to order and welcome everybody to the July 1st meeting of the Temple
Terry City Council. It's nice to have visitors with us. Good evening. Uh welcome back. Uh if you would please stand and uh our vice mayor is going to lead us in the invocation and the pledge. Heavenly Father, as we gather here tonight to conduct the business of our
great city, we ask for your continued blessings on all of our people. As we enter this week of celebration of our 249th anniversary, the Sunday Declaration of Independence, help us to be mindful of the sacrifices made by so many before us to allow us to
enjoy the liberty and freedom that we do have. Help us to be humble and always willing to help those less fortunate than us. Please hold up the sick and the troubled. Help us to reach out when we see someone in need and give them the help that they need. We ask that you bless our city staff and protect our
first responders as they work to protect us all. Please help us to remember that the decisions we make tonight and every day affect others in many ways. Guide us with your wisdom to make the right choice in all that we say and speak. In your most holy name we pray. 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, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. Thank you, Vice Mayor. My pleasure. So
for those of us who those of you who rather who don't visit often, we have a tradition here in Temple Terrace whereby we begin each meeting with a fun or interesting fact about our city or the region that we live in and we rotate that duty and tonight it falls on
council member Kravitz. Hi guys. I always ask anyone want to take it over for me today? No one offered. Uh all right. Microphone. Is your microphone on? Excuse me. So, good evening everyone. Um, so
story time. Ever wonder why we have so few Spanish revival houses left in Temple Terrace when it's architecture that the city is supposedly known for. Imagine this. It's 1925. Temple Terrace is the talk of Florida. Four developers, including Ma Fowler, uh, have formed Temple Terrace Estates
Incorporated, and they're selling the American dream. A little something extra is on top. A Mediterranean paradise with 120 Spanish revival homes designed by Dwight James Bound, the very architect who built John Ringling's magnificent Kadisan mansion
at the seaside in Sarasota. I went there myself recently. It was very beautiful. So, in other words, these folks knew how to sell. They promised paved streets, modern bridges, complete infrastructure, the world's largest orange grove, spanning 5,000 acres. They had architectural plans. They had marketing materials. Most importantly, they claim
to have the cold, hard cash already set aside to deliver on every single promise. Margaret Nixon is one of the people who believe them. And because of that, she bought eight lots for 45 43,000, excuse me, dollars. That's over $600,000 in today's money. That was a lot of her
family's money. But sadly, the developer didn't follow through. Out of the 120 homes that he promised, only 30 were ever built. Some of them are still one of the most beautiful homes, some of the most beautiful homes that we have in the city. Um, and the infrastructure money that the developers claimed to have in hand,
well, never existed. The paved streets and bridges never built. When the 1926 hurricane hit, followed by the killing freezes in 1927, 1928, the project collapsed like a house of cards. Obviously, the city eventually recovered. That's why we're all here. But Margaret Nixon lost everything. She
decided to sue Temple Terrace Estates. And in 1929, she went all the way up to Florida Supreme Court. And uh those records tell a story that should make all of us a little cautious about accepting promises that developers make at face value. So
they lied about having the infrastructure funds as I already mentioned. They lied about their financial backing and they lied about lied about the timeline and scope. In the end, the developers corporation went bankrupt. Developers themselves faced no personal liability and Margaret Nixon could not
collect any money against them. So development is wonderful. Temple Terrace urgently needs thoughtful growth, especially with an eye to the commercial development of downtown. Margaret Nixon's story, however, tells us that we should be a little bit cautious. We should note that some developers take advantage of communities and people.
Human nature doesn't change. 100 years ago, people were the same as they are now. The incentive to overpromise and under underdel is just as strong then as it is today. Contracts with accountability are very important. Mrs. Nixon bought bots based on verbal
assurances, marketing materials. Developers promises weren't backed by bonds, escro accounts, or personal guarantees. When things go south, there's nothing to protect the people who trusted these developers. It's also better to trust in stages and verify. Democracy at Greek Greek statesman said,
"Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth." So, we have the tools to distinguish one from the other. Now, requiring proof of financing, only approving projects where we have mechanisms in place to ensure that there's compliance. And uh so every approval we grant, every resoning we provide should protect the
people who live here in Temple Terrace. We should require developers to show that they can deliver what they promise. Means writing contracts so that if they're not kept that there are real consequences like clawing back a sold property from a developer who's not following through or imposing financial
penalties for failure to perform. We can all think of examples of that. Those families that live in Temple Terrace are our constituents, not the developers. When developers come before us with grand plans and confident presentations like they did in 1925, once upon a time,
although it wasn't us, uh, you know, we should think about Mrs. Nixon and her money. We should review zoning proposals with an eye to the fact that the decisions we make today are going to shape Temple Terrace potentially into the next hundred years and that the developers who ultimately build lasting
value in this city are the ones who understand that community buyin is not an obstacle to their success but the foundation of it. So I want to warmly invite those developers into Temple Terrace and that is an interesting historical fact. Thank you. So, for those of you who um
most of you who work here already know this, but for our visitors, we have a new city clerk tonight. Uh Miss Linda Seder, our previous clerk, Cheryl Mooney, retired uh not just from the city, just retired period. So, she's uh in Alaska, I believe, right now,
enjoying herself. I doubt very seriously she's watching the meeting. And so, um it we are very honored to have Linda join us, our team. Uh she comes to us from tha Kansas where she was a deputy county clerk. Uh she's worked in this
profession for many years and so she's new to Florida as Cheryl was when she started here but she's a a very quick learner and already uh she's been here since what a week now, right? A week and week and a day. So she's made it through the first week and she came back on
Monday. So this is a good sign. And so uh her family has not yet joined her from Kansas. And so I have the the privilege of swearing her in. So if you and I if you can step away from that for a couple minutes. Okay. Go ahead. Yeah. Okay. And I have never sworn in a
city clerk before. So, you know, the bar is pretty low here, right? So, please place your hand on the Bible. Raise your right hand and repeat after me. I state your name. I, Linda Seder, a citizen of the state of Florida and of the United States of America. a citizen

say a few words. It'll be part, would you like to say a few words, city clerk? I think my mic's on. I appreciate the opportunity that you all have given me. Um, I've been very
excited to get down here and get started and to take on the duties of this city clerk. Um, my past experience was in a county government, but many of the things are the same, but there's also many different things. So, I'm really
excited about learning those and to be a part of this community and I appreciate everything that you guys have done for me. Thank you. Thank you and welcome aboard. Thanks. Very good. Next, we have a proclamation uh declaring August 2025 as Florida Water
Professionals Month. We have our public works director, Jason Warren Feld's here. We have some of our crew here. Come on up, guys. It's good to have you. We don't usually get your folks here at the They're usually beat by the time our meetings start. They don't want to come
to a meeting. So um whereas the Florida Water and Pollution Control Operators Association organized in 1940 is a nonprofit trade organization that promotes the sustainability of Florida's water utility industry through workforce
development to protect the health of Florida citizens and to preserve the state's water resources. This organization offers water and wastewater treatment plant operator and water distribution operator training courses required for the state of Florida's operator licenses.
Eight voluntary certification programs and continuing education programs for operator license renewal. This organization in recognizing the importance of Florida statutes and admin and administrative code that regulate the water industry acts as liaison
between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and industry personnel. The Florida Water and Pollution Control Operators Association recognizes all who have played a significant part in operating and maintaining drinking water, wastewater, and storm water
systems in Florida by celebrating Florida Water Professionals Month, which applauds their constant efforts to protect our health and environment. Water professionals are essential first responders as defined by Florida Statute 403865.
during storms and other catastrophic events, working to ensure safe drinking water and safe disposal of waste waters for our communities. Now, therefore, I, Andrew Ross, by virtue of the authority vested in me as mayor of the city of Temple Terrace, proclaim August 2025 as
Water Professionals Month. And so, I have to add to this a little bit for those of us who live locally. We know we've suffered a couple hurricanes here last season. And uh I and ever since then, I don't think we've ever fully recovered from that. And you guys have
been running at at full speed uh plus some ever since even even today. I know there was an event in Tampa that had a ripple effect for us. And so uh you guys have been thrust into the spotlight whether you like it or not since October. And so uh we really appreciate
all you do for us. And so would you like to say a few words? Thank you, mayor, city council. Thanks for the recognition to the water uh department for the services they perform. Uh with me just so the council knows Will Frasier who's the deputy director of public works utilities and Nick Martinez who is the
utility service manager. Um these two lead the utilities department as far as task everyday assignments. Um both dual license operators which you know keep us going and keep us in compliance. So thank you again and and we appreciate the proclamation. Thank you. Right,
let's give him a round of applause. I got to really move. Yeah. All right. Can I have you scoot over just a little bit? All right. Perfect. All right. Three, two, one. Thank you. Next, we have a proclamation for Parks
and Recreation Month, and our leisure services director, Carl Langfeld, is here to accept the proclamation and certainly dressed appropriately. Casual Tuesday. Yeah, this is great. This is perfect. So this these are the Fourth of July shirts this year. So whereas parks
and recreation programs are an integral part of communities throughout the this country and are v vitally important to establishing and maintaining the quality of life in our city, ensuring the health of citizens and contributing to the economic and environmental well-being of
a community and region. Parks and recreation programs provide therapeutic recreation services that improve all citizens mental and emotional health. Parks and recreation programs increase a community's economic prosperity, increasing property values,
increasing tourism as well as reducing crime. Parks and recreation areas are fundamental to the environmental well-being of our community. Our park and natural recreation areas ensure the ecological beauty of our community and provide a place for adults to connect
with nature and children to play outdoors. The US House of Representatives has designated July as Parks and Recreation Month. Temple Terrace recognizes the benefits derived from park and recreation resources. Now therefore, I,
Andrew Ross, by virtue of the authority vested in me as mayor of the city of Temple Terrace, Florida, do hereby proclaim the month of July as Parks and Recreation Month. Langville, would you like to say a few words? Absolutely, Mayor. Thank you very much. Uh, leisure services director. I had a and still
have a a remarks um about this, but as I was sitting in the room um thinking about what I was going to say, I was looking around the room and realized something very special about the parks and recreation department in Temple Terrace. Um we have had the opportunity
to be the first opportunity for a lot of the young people in this community to enter the workforce. And I look around this room and so many of the the folks sitting in this room have kids who either currently work for the parks and
recreation department or have worked in the past for the parks and recreation department or have volunteered with the parks and recreation department. Um, and I take that very seriously as being somebody who's responsible for these for
these young people coming to work uh for the city and getting their first opportunities to uh to have a job um and start making some money for themselves and and start entering that phase of of their lives as as an adult and and something I'm very honored to do. Um
that isn't really what I came here to say. So now I'm going to come here and say what I came here to say. Um this year parks and recreation month is very special in Temple Terrace because we are celebrating our 100th anniversary and we've been doing that through many events that we're holding throughout the
city. Uh earlier in the year we held uh River Jam which was a uh a tremendous celebration of the city and its history. This Friday is 4th of July and is our
50th annual 4th of July. Um just a quick rundown of the things that we have planned for the for the day. Uh at 10:00 a.m. we have our annual parade uh which will be on uh Gillette Avenue uh starting at Whiteway going to Druid
Hills and then west down Druid Hills to Ridgedale uh south on Ridgedale and finishing in front of the ballfield complex uh next to Temple Terrace Elementary School. Fairway activities on the first fairway will start at 6 pm in the evening. Uh we
have DJ services by Classic Entertainment and live music by the Black Velvet Band keeping everybody entertained until our fireworks begin at 9:15 that evening. Um I'm looking forward to a fantastic fireworks show this this year. We have expressed to our
provider the importance of this year's fireworks show being that it's our 100th year. Um so stand by for a great show. Um, none of this would be possible without the sponsors that that contribute to to this event. Uh, Tiko is
our presenting Patriot sponsor. Uh, our stars and stripes sponsors include Joan Kelly and Caldwell Banker Realy as well as Eric Kravitz. Our Rocket sponsors include the Temple Republican Club, Pinchup Penny, Foxtail Learning, Mammoth Realy, Embassy Suites, and Mid Florida
Tree Service. Our firecracker sponsors include Jersey Mike Subs, Station House Barbecue, the Temple Terrace Golf and Country Club, and our sparkler levels include Homewell Care Services, Lynn Warner Realy, and uh I candy Prince. Uh
in addition to this, stay tuned for many more great events coming up throughout the remainder of the year to celebrate our 100th anniversary. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Langfeld. and and uh I think I can safely speak for the council on this that you guys have had a uh a really standup year too because the centennial
duties largely fell on your department. So on the heels of the river jam which we thrust upon you but we didn't take Fourth of July away from you. So, we added this major centennial celebration and uh you guys and other departments have a role in this too, but but uh you
guys really pull the the most weight on that really and and uh just want to thank you for accepting that with all of the other things you do, the afterchool programs and the senior programs and all the things that you have going on that never skip a beat
when we add all this extra stuff to you. Um, and so I know that behind the scenes there's got to be some talk about now. What else are they going to add to us? But, but we thank you for everything you're doing and we appreciate it. Thank you very much, man. Let's give him a round of applause.
All right. Three, two, one. Thank you. All right. Okay. What's next? We have a board appointment. Next, we have a vacancy on for an alternate member of the municipal code enforcement board. Uh the city
received one application after advertisement uh from Richard Banyan. Uh Mr. Banan, are you here? Would you like to say a few words to the council? It's up to you. You don't have to. No. Okay. Uh if everybody's had an opportunity to review the application.
Is there a motion? Move to approve the appointment of Richard Ben as alternate member of the Municipal Code Enforcement Board term extending from July 1st, 2025 to July 20 July 1st, 2028. Second. Motion to second. Discussion of the
motion. If not, all those in favor say I. I. I. Opposed. No nazs. Thank you, Mr. Benny, for your volunteerism. We appreciate it. Be careful with that. That's how some of us started as alternates on the code board. Careful what you ask for. Uh, council, has
everybody had an opportunity to review the minutes from our June 17th meeting? And if so, is there a motion? Move to approve the minutes. Second. Motion and second. Any corrections to the minutes? If not, all those in favor say I. I. I. Opposed. No. Nays. Minutes are adopted.
Next is persons wishing to be heard on items not listed on the agenda or items on the consent agenda. So, I do want to inject here for those of you who don't normally visit us. For those of you whose business is concluded, it's not considered rude for you to leave at this point if you're
looking for an opportunity to sneak out. Um, yeah, that's that's that's fine. I know people that don't normally come say, "Well, I hate to walk out on them, but this is where we kind of shift gears." You're not necessary that you sit through all the hearings if you unless you want to, but you're welcome
to stay. So, we do have uh a threeinut time limit for all speakers. We ask that you come to the podium and begin with your name and city of residence. Uh and our first speaker is Mr. Loe. Good evening, Mr. Loe. Good evening
everybody. Happy July 4th and my name is Charles Lo Terrace Park. Uh I I want to talk tonight about the 4th, the 14th and the 24th and I wish everybody happy of each one. Now of course you all have explained and know about the 4th. You all have explained what's going on with
that. The 14th of course happens to be for anybody that's French very important and that is Bastile Day. I always think about Bastil Day every year and I compare it in my mind to July 4th because July 4th was written by people that are well known in history books but
the 14th was written by ordinary people. It might be of interest to for people to know that actually more people observe Bastile Day than do uh July 4th. Why? Because the French community uh observes observed it throughout the community. I
was reading uh in a um in a on a online site that there are about 337 million people that observe July 14th and about 305 million or something like that that observe Independence Day. So anybody with a French background, Bastile Day is
important, but I also want to mention the 24th for a different reason. The different reason is because the library sale is coming up and uh and that is the first day of the library sale. Thursday the 24th. Now, you might say I'm pushing this a little bit early because but I
was thinking over the last couple of sales that they we might be able to get a few more donor books if we push a little bit early. Uh compared to past sales beyond that, it has been the selection has been a bit light in spite of the relatively good sales that have occurred. I also was thinking about the
idea of maybe the city putting it on the on the digital bulletin boards uh not only for the dates of the sale which is uh 10:00 a.m. to 400 p.m. uh Thursday July 24th, 25th and 26th uh through Saturday of course and also to mention
that they would be interested in having more books donated for the sale. Hopefully that would even raise with that combination even raise more money for the sale as it is the summer now. Uh thank you all and good evening and again hope you have a nice party on starting on July 4th. Thank you Mr. Lope. Our
next speaker we're honored to have back uh Mr. Michael Ellison. Mr. Ellison and you're welcome to bring the rest of your crew with you if you want. Mr. I'm good. It's been a while since we've seen you. How are you? Good. All
right. My reason for visiting today is um we have a little league football team nonprofit. Um my name is Michael Ellison. I'm the president. This is Nicole Green. She's the treasurer. And this is Ashley on the
team. Yeah. And chair um secretary. All right. Um, right now we currently rent our practice field from Temple Chair Parks and Rex. Last year was our first year in existence. My varsity team won Super Bowl
in the fall during the spring season. My JV team won the Super Bowl. We currently pay for a field and we are asking that we that we could partnership with city above Temple Terrace or the parks and
wreck. so that we can take a little bit off of our um finances because as you know we are nonprofit charitable nonprofit so all of our funds come from charity. Um also Mr. Brown.
Pastor Brown, he donates to us. Um, helps us out a lot. And since the city of Temple Terrace was the first city to give us a part or help us out to get a practice field, we are willing to change our name from Tampa Bay Falcons to the
Temp Temp Temple Terrace Falcons. And trust me, we're a winning team. We'll make you look good. I can see that. Yeah. not only not only a winning team, but we also do give back to the community. When Pastor Brown have things
going on, we all come as a or we all go out together to help give back as well. That's all I have until the next meeting. Well, thank you for coming and sharing the That's terrific. I wish you brought some of your players with you. Well, that's that's practicing. That's
why we dress like this. Come out to see one day. Okay. Temper sparks, but that's for the next visit. Well, that's terrific. And we'll ask the city manager and Mr. Langfield to to discuss this and and uh talk it over with you and really appreciate you coming tonight and sharing those trophies with us. That's
awesome. All right. Thanks. Have a good night. Congratulations. Thank you. I have no more requests to speak at this time. Council, is there a motion to approve the consent agenda? So moved. Second. All those in favor say I. I. I.
Opposed. Cons. No nays. The consent agenda is adopted. Next, we have a second public hearing and second reading of a resolution approving a final site plan, preliminary plan, and subdivision construction plans for folio number
037534-000000 addressed as 100024 Davis Road and folio number 037531-500 in adjoining unadressed parcel. Uh, we will open the public hearing and ask our city planner, Malik Hall, to explain. Good evening, Mr. Hall. Good evening.
Did you say city planner? I'm sorry. Did you say city planner? I did. Good evening, mayor, city council, and members of the public and staff. So, as it was just said, we are here for the second public hearing and second
reading of the Davis Road new single family residential subdivision. How have I turned it on? So, this is a GIS aerial imagery of the uh location of the project site. Currently it is two lots but after the
um the approval and then then the final plot it'll be one lot one project area. This is just a general area map of the project site. Total acreage is 6.7 acres. It is zone planned development
and it is a residential subdivision including 28 single family lots. It was reduced from 32 during the reszoning process. This is the site plan for the subdivision. When you enter the internal roadway for the subdivision, there'll be
a male kiosk on the right and then a lift station on the left and then going down the lane will be the single family lots. As you can see, there is on-site retention to the north and abuing the culde-sac at the end of the lot.
This is an overlay of the site plan onto the aerial GIS imagery. The red hatching shown there is a combination of the F dot site triangles and the city of Temple terrace site triangles. So there's two smaller internal triangles that are city temple terrace. The big
long ones on the roadway is FOT. This is just some potential signage that the um developers are considering. This is the preliminary plat for the subdivision. So to mention again, this is for the final site plan, the
subdivision construction plans, and the preliminary plat. Even if this was approved tonight, they also have to submit a final plat within six months of approval, which would then come back to council as well. Malik, what are the I'm sorry to interrupt, but what are the two on the
north side of the road that don't have numbers in them? Two on the north side. Yeah, you go from if you're going from left to right, you go 1819 for the circle. You said just before the circle on the top. So, you're talking
about the at the culde-sac or when you first enter the subdivision. I think it's just two numbers weird. That's what I think. Yes, it might just be missing the two numbers. Oh, okay. No problem. I I'll I'll inquire with the developers about
that. Okay. I apologize for that. Do you want me to go back or would you Okay, perfect. Do you have a question? No. Nope. Okay. So these are the proposed conditions for the subdivision. Standard condition is it's bound by the May 1st, 2025 final
site plan submitted. So just the most recent NDRC approved site plan. The subdivision needs needs to provide signage as well. At the time of permitting, the landscape buffering for the lift station needs to
be provided. Currently, it has the opaque fencing. notated but there's no landscape buffering notated so that will be handled at the time of permitting at the time of permitting as well will be updated plans regarding the Davis road lane with and then related storm water management design which is
required by Hillsbor County. So they have some designs that they are have approval from Hillsro County but we would like an update of those plans uh come permitting. Again at the time of permitting provide updated plan regarding temporary
backflow prevention assembly location updated plans regarding the cover sheet and sheet C2 to reflect the plans to reflect the plans are within city of temple terrace limit. So these a lot of these are are minor edits that can be done at time of permitting.
Provide proposed street name on the final plat. So currently don't have a proposed street name. Come the final plat. They do need a proposed street name of course for the subdivision that internal roadway site plan exploration per 12-380. and where standards are not specified
herein, the land development code applies. Thank you, Mr. Hall. Are there members of the public who wish to comment on this item? Seeing none, council members, questions? Council member Chambers, has anything changed between the first reading and
this reading? No. Thank you. Council member Fernandez. Um, I have a couple questions. First, I know that the you've said that the storm water plan will be presented at final permitting. Will that come in front of
council as part of the full package? So, this is a storm water management plan that's associated with Hillsboro County that they've already received um I guess I would say permission from Hillsboro County that does not actually directly involve us, but we would still
like to see that plan come the final adjustment. So that's why it can be done at time of per meeting. It's not something that would need to be presented to council at this moment. Not at all technically. So the reason I'm asking is I know that all development
has to has to show storm water retention handling on their property, but my question for us actually has to do with feeding into the full storm water system. Right now it's totally empty land which obviously
when we have heavy rains will saturate the ground but it won't all run off into the storm water system. And we've been talking about the full storm water system and the capacity. So while this their plan may be focused on how to
retain or handle it on their specific property, is there a way that we as the city can make sure that as it feeds into our existing system, we have the capacity is
so and Mr. McCarthy, our city engineer, may want to come up to because I'm going to go on a out on a limb on with this answer, but um I think my understanding is that the way these these neighborhoods are de designed per today's regulations is they're they're supposed to capture the water from the
development on site as you mentioned and then it percolates on the site to over a certain amount of time based on the size of the development and the regulations and eventually it will flow into the aquifer I imagine or there might be some and you can correct me Mr. engineer. Is
this going anywhere else besides percolating into the ground? Is it being directed to any pipe system? I believe there is an outfall further to the west of the development and that goes into a wetland system and over to the Hillsburg River. Okay. So I because I mean we all saw after Hurricane Milton
we had a lot of storm water issues just the volume of rain. So I just want to make sure we're considering that. And then um and then this is a question back to the process and as this goes forward if city council approves this on second
reading h what are the steps that will come in front of city council is the and I'm I'm asking so that people listening can can understand how the project will progress and the different approval levels that the city has.
So there if there are no changes that would require to be um provided to city council once more then the only thing you'd be seeing is the final plat. So they need to submit the final plat within 6 months of the approval and then during that process once it's done and
reviewed it will be presented to city council for approval. And are does it happen or is this something that the city council would approve if the developer wants to come and and make changes to the project
after let's just if city council approves this tonight and the and the project moves forward but then the developer decides they need to make changes would that come back before city council or does that stay in your office? It depends on the u level of the changes. If it's a substantial
uh deviation, then it would go through the process all over again. Expedite expedited ideally but not guaranteed. So, okay. Thank you. Other questions? Council member Kravitz, just one really small question. The Davis Road is a county road, right? Yes. Okay. Uh, and
there were a lot of concerns raised about traffic on Davis Road, I think, and also the condition. Have have you reached out to the county or has anyone reached out to the county about road maintenance or maybe making some uh improvements on Davis Road? If it was done, it was done during the resolution for the sorry, ordinance for the
reasonzoning. So during the PD phase. Okay. So it you don't know. Okay, that's fine. Just interesting. All right. Thank you. Okay. Any other questions? If not, I will close the public hearing. Thank
you, Mr. Hall, and ask the clerk to read the title of the ordinance resolution. A resolution of the city of Temple Terrace, Florida, approving final site plan SPR24-08,
preliminary plat SP24-03 and subdivision construction plans for a residential subdivision to be developed on property located south of East Fowler Avenue and west of Davis Road addressed

conditions. Oh in including the proposed condition the conditions as proposed by community development second motion a second discussion of the motion not all those in favor say I. I opposed no nays resolution is adopted.
Thank you Mr. Hall. Next item is a resolution approving a change order to Mezer and Willard Inc. a VNA consulting and VNA consulting engineers company for the master lift station Sierra Bravo
rehabilitation project. Mr. McCarthy, our city engineer, is back to explain. Good evening again. Good evening, honorable mayor and city council. Brian McCarthy, city engineer, and I'm here this evening to seek approval for a change order to Mezer Willard related to our master lift station uh Sierra Bravo
design project. So the figure on the screen is our general project map of the area where our lift station is located at 7403 Hornney Road. Um it's outside the city limits uh near the Hillsboro River in the Bypass Canal. So back in September of 2024, city council approved
a resolution to Mezer Willard for the design project for approximately $246,000. So staff knew that any new net impervious area would require storm water improvements. And so we tasked our design engineer with maintaining the overall total impervious area. So
essentially no net increase. So during our design review um the figure on the screen kind of shows our 60% design plan from our engineer. Highlighted in yellow with kind of a clouded outline is the driveway driveway and parking aprons. And then shaded in red is our lift
station components. So during our review we felt the site was too restricted for our larger vehicles. So staff asked our design consultants to consider well to consider if we didn't restrict them with the impervious area
what would it look like in terms of a wider driveway and a larger parking area area for our larger vehicles. So they presented us with this option. So using the same colors again with a yellow uh highlighted with kind of a clouded border is the parking area and
driveway and then in red is the uh lift station components. So, this new option adds approximately 2,000 uh square feet of impervious area. So, this additional cost for the uh stormwater improvements to design and permit this increased is approximately
$71,000 from Meco Willard for a new total purchase order amount of $317,000. So, staff recommends city council approve the change order for Mecco Willard uh related to these storm water uh improvements and then I'm available for any questions. Thank you, Mr.
McCarthy. Are there members of the public who wish to comment? Seeing none, council member questions. Vice Mayor Schuster, a quick question. Equipment changes. Were there any? Um, Charlie, we're putting in like a new generator, new pumps, so there isn't any equipment
changes when it comes to the storm water aspects of the pump. Okay. Well, but just one real quick question. When we did China, does China feed into this? Uh, China is for our potable water system. Uh, short answer is no. Okay. Does not. don't need to go further. Thank you.
Any questions? Council member Fernandez. Um so, um I understand the reason for the change and my only question for you is that there is there a way to use a different surface for the parking and driveway area. Some I mean sometimes we've seen the the open concrete blocks
used on driveways and some other type of maybe open drivable parkable but still somewhat permeable product to help alleviate the need for storm water um accommodations. Typically with your
pvious pavement you're you're looking at more lighter vehicles like your automobiles. um with our more heavyduty uh equipment for our utilities department um we wouldn't recommend doing any type of pvious pavement in this area. Okay. Thank you.
Okay, there are no further questions. Is there a motion? Move to approve the change order to Mezer and Wilder Inc. and VA Consulting Engineering Company for the master lift station Bravo rehabilitation project. Second motion and second. Is there
discussion of the motion? If not, all those in favor say I. I. Opposed. No nays. Resolution's adopted. Thank you again, Mr. McCarthy. Next is a resolution approving the 2526 agreement between the city of Temple Terrace and the school board of Hillsburg County for
the provision of school resource officers. And our police captain, Jason Malavi, is here to explain. Good evening, Mr. Mayor, council members, and staff. I'm Jason Malave, your patrol captain. I come before you tonight to discuss the city approving a partnership with the
school board of Hillsboro County regarding supporting safety and well-being initiatives. Pending your approval, we will have an officer assigned as a full-time school resource officer to Greco Middle School. This placement ensures a consistent proactive
presence focused on student and staff safety. The SRO assigned to Greco Middle School will be present during all instructional days and a second designated TTPD sergeant will be will coordinate with school officials across
four campuses on safety related uh activities. These safety related activities are duties we are currently already addressing annually to ensure our schools located within the city of Temple Terrace are provided with
guidance regarding security needs and will not increase our FTE count in year 1. The school board of Hillsboro County has agreed to reimburse the city for its share of the cost of services provided
in the amount of $135,967 divided into two semiannual payments. This amount will cover the cost will cover half of the salaries of both assigned officers, their fringe benefits, and vehicle costs. This agreement continues the city's
partnership with the school board to support school safety and student well-being. This inter agency cooperation meets statutory requirements and contributes to the safe educational contributes to a safe educational environment.
Adoption of this resolution ensures proper authorization and implementation of the agreement for fiscal year 2025 through 2026. And with that, I stand for questions. Thank you. Are there members of the public who wish to comment? Seeing none, council members questions.
Yes. Sorry. Council member Fernandez. I try to think of things people would want to know. Uh so, um I have a lot of You have any questions? I do. Um I have a lot of experience with Greco Middle School as four children did attend and I was PTA president for 12 years. Um,
in the past we we did Temple Terrace have a resource officer at the school in the school district opted to remove the Temple Terrace police officer due to some concerns about how closely connected the officer was with the community and and
information transparency. So, have has the school district given you any indication that they have any parameters in place that would hinder your transparency and communication with the community?
No, not by any means. What what I would say is yes, in the past we had our folks set up as SRO in in the school. Um, and for differences of opinion in the past, we had we we parted ways. What I will say is since we've developed and and really had our community liaison unit
out there uh interacting with the schools uh developing relationships with the principles and the staff members uh we've had an absolutely fantastic time and they've been very receptive to us. Um Greco specifically we've had
situations where just recently where we just uh got done with the last day of school dismissal. They had us all out there. Um we worked and coordinated with them very well. The folks at the school are very excited to have us. They want to work with us. Um and in addition to
that, we now have the chief of their security uh portion of the school board who's very supportive of us being out there as well. Everybody wants to work together to make sure that we're doing things the way they need to be do done the right way. And then my only other question is for those of you who who've
been on the campus or not, it's a very large school and we're planning on having one SRO, but I I've actually seen it personally where the SRO's up in the front of the school for some reason and the kids are jumping over the fence to
skip school in the back. So I mean it is it logistically does it make sense to only have one SRO there? So we're actually going to benefit from a unique kind of arrangement where typically uh most of the middle schools in the county
have only one either security officer and or SRO. Uh for Greco, we're going to have our SRO in addition to a security officer that they're providing as well. So we're literally going to have both of them working hand inand with one another. Okay. Thank you. Okay, other
questions, councel. Thank you, Captain. If there are no other questions, is there a motion? Move to approve the resolution approving the 2025 2026 agreement between the city of Temple Terrace and the school board of Hillsboro County for the provision of uh
school resource officers. Second. Motion to second. Discussion of the motion. If not, all those in favor say I. I. I. Opposed. No nazs. Resolution adopted. Thank you, Captain. Thank you, Chief. Thank you, Carlos, Mr. Bea, for uh
helping to bring this to fruition. This has been a couple of years in discussion um at all levels. I know, but the your predecessor, Chief Albano, you um I've had discussions with um a couple of school superintendents. There's actually
been change outs since this began. Um, a lot of the people that were involved in this back in the day aren't even in the picture anymore. There's all new people involved. So, we had to kind of go back and re remember what happened because a lot of those people are gone.
So, thank you for your work on this. Next up is a resolution approving the employment agreement between the city of Temple Terrace and Ernie Mueller for the position of city attorney. Um, as council will recall, we had a discussion
probably a month or more now ago about uh what to do with the uh replacement of Mr. Shonne, who as we know is retiring very shortly. We'll come back to that. Um, and council voted to appoint uh Mr.
Mueller to that position. He's currently the deputy city attorney. uh upon taking city attorney um upon taking office, he will then begin the recruitment for his replacement as a deputy city attorney. So, uh are there members of the public
who wish to comment on this? And if not, has the council had an opportunity to review the contract? And are there questions? I have a question. Council member Kravitz. Um, so I noticed that after the original contract went back to outside council for revision, there's now a
section 11 addressing outside employment and one of the exceptions that's uh carved out from the general prohibition on outside employment is that the city attorney will be allowed to complete current obligations three cases as an arbitrator. Now um the current deputy
city attorney has a law firm and it's listed on his bar profile, but it's not listed in his resume. So I'm wondering is the law firm not encompassed by this section? That would be my question. Mr. Mueller.
Yes. I uh those three arbitrations would be going through that law firm. I'm trying to close that law firm down. The reason I kept those three arbitrations is they are through FINRA, the Financial Regulatory Agency. And those are usually those are cases where someone feels
they've lost money through bad investments or whatever. And if you have to change out the arbitrator, that just prolongs the process and it becomes more expensive and they try and frown on that. I have yet to have any of these cases actually go to a hearing. They've
usually settled out. But I did I was uh reticent to let those go because I did not want to prejudice those people that had filed claims. The the two attorneys that are in this law firm in addition to you are okay with I'm the only one in the law firm. If you go on the website,
there are three attorneys. No, there's uh one person that's of counsel. He's independent. Um and he's already retired and uh the other person is a planner actually that did some work for You don't have any other open cases other than everything else is closed out.
All right, those were my questions. Thank you. Other questions, council? Okay, if there are no other questions, is there a motion? Move to approve the employment agreement between city temple terrace at Ernest Mueller for the position of city attorney. Second motion
and second discussion of the motion. If not, all those in favor say I. I opposed. Was that a nay? Yes, sir. One nay. Council member Kravitz. Uh resolution is adopted 4 to one. Very good. Council business.
Any council business? I have um couple things that could really go under either, but if there's no council business, I'll discuss them now. Um this is our city attorney, Pam Shashon's last city council meeting. I'm sure
she's broken up about that. Um, and I see that uh Steve, her husband, has joined us. I'm assuming that you're here because of that, of course. Uh, so Pam, it's been terrific working with you. I know you're not quite done yet. You have
a few more days, but um I I remember when we hired you. I remember the interview uh the interviews that occurred right here in this room. and and uh I I remember immediately thinking of the candidates that you were definitely the one that I was going to
support and and uh as I recall everybody kind of felt the same way. I don't think there was a lot of debate about that. So, as I've stated before in these meetings, you and and uh Mr. Mueller as well. But I think the decision to go
from contract council to in-house council was a really really good decision on this city's part. I'd love to take credit. Wasn't my idea. I think it started with Mayor Chalora if I I believe. Um but the
efficiencies and the revenue and all the improvements that you and your team have been able to make that we would have never achieved with a contract council because we're paying them by the hour. And so, uh, you've been proactive on things and solve problems that we didn't
even realize we had. Uh, and so I I've enjoyed working with you. I'll be working with you for another week or so. But, uh, I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. I think you're retiring completely, aren't you? For for a little while and then we'll see what
happens. Yeah. Till Steve might have something to say about that. We'll see. It's full of surprises. Council members, I would like to echo some of the same comments from from the mayor. It's been it's been a a very pleasurable experience working with you. Um I
remember the interview process. I wasn't on council at that point, but uh uh you were head and shoulders above all the other other candidates that spoke. Um since day one and sitting up here in the DAS, you've always been a big help, a
good resource. um never boked at taking a phone call or a text. Um you answered questions that uh uh kept us I felt kept me out of trouble and uh was was a significant guidance to council. I
didn't always agree with some of your ideas and suggestions, but I figured let's give it a chance and there wasn't one that I was disappointed with. So I particularly with the lean reductions letting you handle you as you remember you and I I didn't really agree with the
with your you doing it but it uh it was the right choice and we very very glad that you did that errors too. Yes. Yes. Very true. But thank you. It's been a pleasure to work with you. Yeah. Well these guys have said it but
again everything you've done for the city. Thank you so very much. Appreciate it. I I said this uh earlier, but if you've ever seen uh Mr. Shashon uh prosecute a tree case in front of the code board, you would just give up immediately. So, thank you for that. But
you've done that with all our city interests. So, thank you very much in your work and enjoy retirement until you decide something else. Thank you. Um, I just want to say that I was one of the people who originally believed that I I liked the outside counsel idea more,
but you through you and your staff have shown the value of in-house counsel. So, I definitely have changed my opinion regarding having uh employing a city attorney specifically for the city. So that is really through the efforts and
the work that you and your staff have done to show the value of that office. So um enjoy your retirement for however long it lasts and uh on to you know enjoy whatever your next adventure is. Thank you. Would you like to say a few
words? I do have some words. You need your microphone. Mic's on. I I I do want to say that it has definitely been an honor for me to serve as the city attorney for the city of Temple Terrace. Um it's been seven and a
half years and when I was hired the city had no legal department and when I and so part of my job was to set up a legal department here and I recall asking upstairs
where are the files where are the filing cabinets with the city's cases where are the lawsuits where you know where's my work and they told me it was downtown at the outside council's office. So, I got into I called them up, got into my car,
I drove downtown and they met me out on the curb because there's no place to park downtown. They met me out on the curb with two dollies of boxes. And so, they stuffed my car full and I drove them back here and and started
setting up a legal department. Mr. Mueller of course was an extraordinary help when when I finally hired him and decided I I wasn't going to go it alone anymore and uh we actually were able to computerize then our files and our
things and so that anybody should be able to find them but um it it has always been it's always been a challenge here um especially during co at that time the laws that affected just
how our meetings were to be conducted were changing every day. So when when the city manager at the time said, you know, we would be kind of working here halfime and then switching to other people and we wouldn't have to be in the
office all the time. I thought, well, that sounds wonderful. I don't think I hardly missed a day in the office then because there was almost more to do then than there was during regular times. But what has made my job so much easier
is the dedicated people that I have worked with here. Everybody is absolutely dedicated to their job and to the city. And you know whether it's the employees, it was the council members
and I would have to say it was particularly Mayor Ross. I have worked in I'm going to cry now. I have worked in local government as either a city attorney or an assistant city attorney for 31 years. I have seen lots of
council members and lots of mayors come and go. And I have to say I I've got a I've got a good basis for comparison then. And I have to say that Mayor Ross is truly outstanding.
And I feel lucky as an employee to have worked with him. And I think the city has been very lucky to have him during these the he became mayor in 2020 and I we've been very lucky to have had
him during all this time. The citizens have no clue as to what he attends to in a day. And and I don't mean attend like it's something ceremonial or a party. He attends to issues and problems. It's
it's not fun things. And lastly, I want to say that I am proud of the work that the legal department has done. Our success is not measured by what you see. Our success is measured by what you don't see. You have
not seen a major lawsuit in the last seven and a half years. We have had potential things come through but by good planning, good preparation and and the mayor was involved in some
of those too. There were depositions and interrogatories, but the judge was ultimately convinced to dismiss these cases. they've never gone to trial. So, keeping the for for us, for the legal department, keeping the city's
name out of the news is our success. And I I have, you know, and I've looked back and reviewed in my mind everything that's, you know, that I've worked on and that we've done. And I feel that it's been seven and a half years of success. And I think you're going to do
great with Ernie going forward. Thanks. Thank you. Well, you get the last word, don't you? Here, you have your camera. Pam, let's stand down here and let's get a a photoraph. All right, I'll have you inch a little bit this way. So, we're in the middle.
Yes. Perfect. All right. Three, two, one. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Wow, I didn't see that coming. So, I have one more piece of really good
news, right? Um, and that is I wanted I sent you guys an email yesterday, but I want to tell everybody that we had a uh appropriations request in with for with the Florida legislature for some storm related equipment. As many of you know,
uh, last October when we got hit by Helen and and hit particularly bad by Milton, we discovered some gaps in our, uh, equipment needs, particularly in public works. And one of them was for a a machine that fills sandbags because
we've had sandbag operations every year for I don't know how many years. Long time. But when we had backtoback storms, we realized the toll this was taking on our employees who are out there for 12, 14 hours a day filling sandbags after they have other duties that lead up to
that and then they have duties after that. So they're literally these guys I mean they're making good money but they're they are exhausted and so we need a sandbag machine uh which was part of our appropriations request. We also
needed um some fuel trailers. Uh as you will recall, we um the whole city basically was on backup power, which we were powering with generators. And if I'm not mistaken, it takes 36 different facilities to keep our water system
going. I think that's the number, but not it's close to 36. And at one time, all of them were on backup generators. Uh then they came back on, but not all at once. It was peace meal. Well, the generators worked okay except that we don't have enough fuel to
sustain this for this went on for eight or nine days in some of the places. And so when we started running low on diesel, we ordered diesel through the emergency operations center and the state of Florida sent us 10,000 gallons
of diesel in a big semi- gas station tanker, which is great except we don't have any way to take that fuel around to the 36 different places and put it in the generator. This is just 10,000 gallons
of bulk fuel. And so we also needed a couple of trailers that are capable that we can put the fuel in those trailers and tow them and and they have a what's called a a Bobcat on them. So it's like a gas pump so you can pump the fuel into the generators.
So those were the big things in our appropriations request. There was some Starlink um things to make sure that we had internet service uh things like that, but the big things were the sandbag machine and the fuel trailers. Well, we made it in the budget and I
want to thank um Representative Lawrence Mccclure from Dover. He is the chairman of the budget in the House of Representatives. He's been a friend of Temple Terrace um as long as I've been around. He's carried appropriations requests for us in the legislature
before. Uh and he did so this time. I want to thank Representative Tracy Coaster. She is covers like west uh Hillsboro County over near Olsar area, that part of the the county. Um I I want to thank uh Senator Ed
Hooper who is the appropriations chair in the Senate. Although we did not get sponsored in the Senate uh when it came time for budget budget conference between the House and the Senate, he did not object to including our appropriations in the final budget. So,
we made the budget and uh yesterday we got vetoed by the governor and so uh we're not alone. He vetoed I guess almost $600 million worth of projects across the state. So, it wasn't like he
singled out Temple Terrace, but we were disappointed this was storm related and pretty vital to the citizens of of uh Temple Terrace. So, our budget development is still underway. Uh we're hopeful that we can purchase some of this equipment with local funds.
Um some of it I think is in our draft budget so far, although we're not done with that. So it's possible that that could still get cut. But uh anyhow, I was disappointed in the in the veto, but I do want to thank the representatives who tried to help us out, but in the end
it didn't work. So any other council business? If not, is there any new business or board reports? Council member Kravitz, I have a three points. Um, first of all, there was a citizens police academy uh recently and I can only strongly recommend it. I really
encourage everyone to go and see what our police department does to keep everyone in the city safe and it's really a remarkable program that they put together going a whole day showcasing almost every single facet of Temple Terrace Police Department. And I think it's a fantastic program. 13
people attended. Um, and they've they've done it many times now and I hope they do it again even though there were only 13 people. I think it left a strong impression on everyone who came and I think everyone learned a lot about really what goes into that work and just how challenging and how difficult it is
to make snap decisions and try to do that in a way that respects everyone's rights and is the right thing to do ethically and morally as well. So, uh, just want to give a quick shout out to them for that and, uh, a big thank you. Um, I have one more point, which is a
board report. I went back to my old haunt, the maritime law enforcement, uh, committee for Hillsboro County, and it came up in that committee meeting that, um, the county authority that's involved in the um, boat launch repair at River uh, Riverside, River Hills Park, excuse
me, is waiting for input from our city. So, I hope we can get that to them so that that can move ahead. And uh my final point relates to the um Angels of Hope monument at Riverside Park. And uh I've noticed that it's in a pretty sorry state of repair. I was
wondering if there's anything that we could do collectively or individually to uh try and address that and make that monument shine the way it ought to. Any thoughts? City manager? Anyone else? Um I I know a little bit about it since
I was uh the project came from me. The agreement we have with that group uh and Mr. Langfeld can correct me if I'm wrong is that they the group itself maintains the statue and the surrounding area of the bricks. I know Mr. Langfeld has been challenged over the last couple years.
Their maintenance has gone down. I don't want to say much and I know you've been working on a solution and that's all I'm going to say because you're giving me that look like you if I may. Please may uh Carl for leisure services director
council member Kravitz you are correct. There are there are maintenance challenges out there uh with the angel of hope monument. The agreement that is in place between the city and the angel of hope monument group is that that whole pa patio, the landscaping around
it and the monument itself are owned by and are the responsibility of the angel of hope committee. uh seen the challenges that have come with that uh with that monument, I have reached out to the to the leadership of that group
on multiple occasions and in and offered uh for the city to take that over um to take over the responsibility of the maintenance. They they would maintain the ownership of the actual angel um statue should anything happen to that.
that would be their responsibility, but we would take over the maintenance of the actual uh the the patio area, the pavers and and all of that. Uh they're having some leadership challenges. Um I will continue to work with them and encourage them um to reach out to the
city manager uh to have that discussion about the city taking it over. We do already provide some assistance well beyond what we do uh with the maintenance and and some repairs that we've done out there and keeping the lights out there working that are around the the angel. Um so we're already doing
a great deal more than what our agreement says we can do, but ultimately I would like to see that monument come under um city maintenance so that way we can keep it up to the standards that we would expect it to be. Thanks. I'm happy to hear that. I I'm getting the
impression that we're already doing things that we don't have to do in order to to help. So, is there a limit to how far we can go with that in your view? I I I don't want to create a an opportunity where where they say, "Well,
if you're going to do it, just do it." You know, you've been doing it. Why aren't you continuing to do it? I would like for that agreement to be modified where we take it over and is actually ours as opposed to overstepping the bounds of what the agreement says that we can do and creating illusions of well
you've been doing it so you should just keep doing it. I would like to keep that get that agreement done so that way it is ours and it is our responsibility. Okay. All right. Thank you. All yours ladies and gentlemen. Any other new board new business or board
reports? Okay. City manager report. Mr. Bay. Thank you, Mr. Mayor, members of council. Um, just one clarifying item on the budget schedule. We've been talking, we've had two budget workshops so far. We have another one scheduled for um
July 8th. Um, and we had tentatively on the projected budget schedule, we had the setting of the millillage for a special meeting on the 17th, which is a Thursday. Looking at the schedule, um what we think we're going to do with your approval would be to tentatively schedule the the millillage as a
resolution on the regular meeting on the 15th. If council you feel at that point that you're still not comfortable, obviously you could schedule the special meeting that night for the 17th, you need two days notice to do that. You'd have time to do that. Uh but I just don't want you to be um unawares if we put it on the agenda for the next
meeting. Is that okay with everybody? Any objections to that? I have turned this in a while ago. I'm not here on the 15th or the 17th. Okay. So, you wouldn't you'd be missing anything? I'd be missing it either way. Okay. Is that okay? It's fine with me. Good. Sounds
good to me. Okay. Thank you. And the uh next item I'd like to bring up our new uh director of code compliance, Mr. Jack Shanks. Uh so Jack is a Jack began here with the city actually yesterday. So he's about uh what 36 hours in or so
maybe. Um so Mr. Shanks is a 21-year veteran of the US Marine Corps. Uh his last post uh in the civilian life was as the chief program officer for Habitat for Humanity for Tampa Bay, Clearwater. Um when he interviewed, he showed an incredible amount of poise and
leadership uh which I think will serve us very well u moving this department forward. Uh he's had some ideas already and uh and I'm sure we're going to see a lot of great things. Mr. Ch. Great. Would you like to introduce yourself or you? Sure. Sure. Sure. Uh good evening,
mayor and uh council. Uh it's beyond an honor to be here. Uh I was beyond thrilled when uh when uh Mr. Vea uh let me know that I was I was being hired for this position. Uh what I did with Habitat for Humanity was we uh we ran
about a thousand homes and uh we're getting ready to hit number 1,000 here in just another month or two. um we would go out into the community and we would try to build uh homes for people that needed them. But but the for the actual homeowners, our job was to or my
job was to instill pride in property, home ownership, and community. Uh and that's really something that's going to be trans transcended over here to the code team. Um I've spent the past two days with them, an amazing team. Uh I'm really looking forward to working with
them and with all of you and the code enforcement board which I snuck into one uh prior to being hired uh or stepping in. Um very excited to be here. So thank you for the opportunity to to be here. Thank you and welcome aboard. Welcome. Good evening. See if you come back some
Monday like Linda did. That's all I have. That's all you have. Okay. City attorney. Oh, I just have a question. Council member Fernandez. Um, just very quickly, can you just give us an outline of the topics for the budget
meeting July 8th? And at that budget meeting, would it be possible to discuss or just to lay out the the process or the plan or the schedule for when roads get paved and when they get striped?
Not right now, but at at that meeting. Sure. Okay. So the uh the meeting the workshop on July 8th will be an omnibus workshop. So we're going to cover the general fund. So we're going to pick up from where we did the u pick up from the first workshop that was held in June. Uh we'll also cover the capital, the
enterprise funds, special revenue funds, and the use of unassigned fund balance. All at the workshop on the 8th. Uh we're following up on the questions that the council had for us from the prior workshop. So we'll have answers for all of those. Um, and we should be able to talk about the rates as well for the
different funds, sanitation, water, and sewer. Okay. Thank you. Let let me understand. Did are we going to go through the 27-year repaving schedule at this meeting? Is that what was I don't want to do. That's not what I'm asking. I'm
just asking to talk for for us to be able to say how we go through the process of deciding what roads are going to be repaved and when. Not this road is going to be repaved on this date. Okay.
Because I don't want at a budget meeting I don't think it's appropriate to go through 27 years of this PCI index. Okay. It's just a it's a question that came up in the public about u that we didn't talk anything about how we were going to repave roads or anything. Um I
