give us an update on things. Thank you for joining us tonight. It's my pleasure. Good evening. >> The mayor asked me to come by and introduce myself to you and tell you a little bit about what's happening in our school district. The first thing you need to know about our school district is we're an A-rated school district. And
recently, the Florida Department of Education designated our school district as one of Florida's high-erforming academic school districts. We have a 96% graduation rate, which is the highest graduation rate of any of the seven largest urban school districts. Six of
our schools have 100% graduation rates, and none of our schools are DRF rated. We're the 10th largest school district in the nation. Our district covers 2,400 square miles. We have a budget of 5.9
billion dollars. That's our annual budget. We have 170,000 students, 23,000 employees, and 183 schools. Every year, we serve over 33 million meals, which I guess makes us the busiest restaurant in
uh in Palm Beach County. We're also the largest employer in Palm Beach County, and we have the second largest police force. Now, our police force has an Excelsier accreditation, which is the highest accreditation that a police force can have in the state of Florida.
We on the school board take safety very, very seriously. We have a uniformed officer in every school and a behavioral health uh specialist in every school. Our teachers have an average of 15 years of experience and they're given extensive opportunities for professional
development. In every room, we have AI, we have a Smartboard, and every student is given a laptop. And in sports, we're state champions in 14 different sports, including boys high school football, which apparently among school superintendents is a big deal when they
get together and and Mike Burton now has that uh to brag about when he goes to their meetings. Additionally, we're state champs in boys and girls um track, in boys weightlifting, and in girls uh softball down in Jupiter Middle. We
offer 335 career choice and technical education programs including law, medical science, business, IT, marketing, construction, firefighting,
um culinary, culinary and um also in um JRTC as well as in teaching. Additionally, and this is something you probably don't know, every year we teach 20,000 adults to be carpenters, plumbers,
electricians, HVAC tech, welders, and as well as for operators to be commercial truck drivers. The bottom line is is that the school district of Palm Beach County is your best choice for children and their
families in Palm Beach County. And I can tell you that for me, this has been the best job that I have ever, ever had because every day I know that I'm making a difference in the lives of 170,000 children and 20,000 adults. And I know
that you're entrusting us with your most valuable treasures. So, if there's ever anything that I can do for one of your children, grandchildren, a neighbor, family member, or friend, please let me know. I'm Matt Lane. I'm willing to help
out in any way that I can. Now, I know you have a busy agenda, so let me give you my phone number. If you need it, it's I've given my the clerk my card, but my cell phone number is 561 3731182.
Once again, 561-3731182. Please call me. I'm willing to help out in any way that I can. Thank you very much and and have a great meeting. >> Thank you. Thank you, Matt. Just keep it out. Council, any comments or questions before before Mr. Lane
leaves? I just want >> We're good. Okay. Thank you for your time. I really appreciate that. >> Thank you. Matthew was on the city council of the city of Palm Beach Gardens and then he chose to continue on his service to the school district. So, thank you because we know what you've been through and we know what you're going through. So, thank you for what
you're doing. Thank you. >> Thank you. All right. Our second presentation for this evening is recognition of village clerk Lori Mc Williams on receiving the inaugural Florida certified professional clerk certification. And here tonight to
present that we have Kelly Avery who is a Southeast District of the Florida Association of City Clerks. Kelly. All right. Good evening. I am Kelly April and I serve as the uh Southeast District Director for the Florida Association of
City Clerks as well as a former president of the Palm Beach County Municipal Clerks. Um I thank you for the honor of allowing me to be here today. It is my pleasure here to be today to be here today to recognize your village clerk Gloria Mc Williams for achieving a significant milestone in becoming one of
the first municipal clerks in Florida to earn the Florida Certified Professional Clerk which is FCPC certification from the John Scott Daily Florida Institute of Government at Florida State University. The Florida Certified Professional Clerk Curriculum was designed to provide practical tools for
leading municipal clerk teams and processes while building upon the foundation of Florida municipal organization. The program specifically targets exemplary municipal clerks who are committed to sharpening their leadership skills, embracing their vital role in Florida government, and preparing for
both current challenges and future opportunities. This program would not exist without the vision and leadership of SAC FAC past president Audrey Sykes who first set this idea in motion during her presidency 10 years ago over 10 years ago. It also came to life thanks
to dedication of Lorie McWills, our past president Pat Burke and other professionals who played a vital role in developing and customizing it specifically for Florida's municipal clerks. I know Clerk McWills has worked for the village of Dquesta for almost 19 years
and has served as a village clerk since January of 2007. Um, Clerk Mc Williams graduated from the 20-month program and was pinned with her certification at the October 7th, 2025 um meeting and at our Florida
Association of City Clerks um association meeting. Currently, the Florida Association of City Clerks has over 610 members. And as one of the 18 graduates of the inaugural FCPC class, Clerk Williams has not only achieved
personal professional growth, but has also helped establish a new standard of excellence for the municipal clerks throughout Florida. Please join me in congratulating Lori Nick Williams on her effort in achieving the Florida Certified Professional CL certification. On behalf of FACC in the Southeast District as well as the Palm Beach
County Municipal Clerks, we are very proud of you, Lori. Congratulations. Get up here. Thank you. work all these. >> We're getting technical here. Say hi. Okay.
lower. >> I'd like to thank the council and the manager for giving me the opportunity to embark on that journey has really meant a lot to me. Thank you. >> Yeah. Um, Lori, you never cease to amaze me with all the things that you do and
accomplish. You're a great leader, a great mentor, and anytime I meet another clerk, you know, from Palm Beach County, they all know you and they have nothing but amazing things to say about you. We are so lucky to have you here. Do not ever leave us.
All right, moving on to our consent agenda. Uh, Council Member French, do you have comments or any items you'd like to pull? >> I apologize, Mayor. I spoke at a turn. I'll save my comments for after the consent agenda. >> Okay. Do we have a motion to approve the consent agenda? >> So, move second. >> All in favor?
>> I, >> if I may, on the consent agenda. >> Yes. >> I just want to thank the village staff uh, and family church. Uh, they're able to come together on one of the uh, consent agenda items was a parking agreement. We all use Constitution Park and many of us has parked at the church
or close by. Um, and both of those organizations had to understand each other's issues and kind of come to an agreement that worked both for uh the church uh village and all the residents that use that area. And so I'd like to thank staff for taking that time and the family church as well. Uh cuz sometimes
not easy understanding both sides of the uh argument or the issues. And I think we came to a very good agreement where all sides are happy and the community can continue to use that parking. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> All right. Next up, do we have any communications from citizens tonight?
>> We do. We have Valerie Hampy. >> Good evening. I promise I'll be brief. Three things. First, kudos to Doug Chambers on the sidewalks. They look great. I don't know if it was village employees
or contractor, but whoever did it did a really good job. So, that's one. Briefly on the garbage topic, I called waste management on Tuesday, our garbage
day. I didn't have a pickup the previous Friday. The woman said, "Oh, you weren't on any schedule for Friday." I said, "Are we on a schedule today?" "No, your pickup days
are Monday and Thursday." I said, "No, they were changed to Tuesday and Friday." And literally before I finished the phone call, the truck came. So, I just wanted you to know, I think there's some misunderstanding
with them. So maybe someone can call and clear that up. And my final main topic is these huge trucks that haul equipments, front loaders and such
twice now. I've had them run over my lawn. This is I don't know if you can see this or if you'd like me to pass it around to you. I'm at the northeast corner of Venus and Toquesta Drive. There's a nice
swale on Twa Drive recently. This was a week ago yesterday. Came home for lunch. Everything's fine. Went to go back to work. My lawn was torn up.
And when I checked it on Saturday, they also broke the sprinkler pipe. So, I contacted my yard person who very kindly came that day and fixed it. I I don't even know what he's going to charge me
for that. But anyway, my point is why do these trucks have to be on Venus? I I can't see any reason for it. There's a swale. Now, maybe I'm missing something,
but if somebody could address that, I would appreciate it. >> Thank you very much. >> So, Jeremy, I think uh one thing we can reach out to waste management and just make sure everything's clear with the the pickups. I know I know they run late
sometimes. I think last week um I know at my house they came in the evening. Um so, they do run late. And then in regards to trucks um running over people's lawn, if it's anything from our work from the work we're doing uh with the sidewalks or water mane, let's make
sure we address that. Collectively, I don't know if there's a code enforcement standpoint there. But I have been noticing that around the village. I know people that now um have put cones up in their yard, you know, on their the edge of their lawn and the asphalt to try to prevent trucks from running in. Um,
we've had a lot of roads blocked recently with construction FPL. So, I don't know if there's a code enforcement aspect there that we can look into and maybe you could circle back with council and uh, we'll get a response back to you as well. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Any other citizen comment that is
not about an item that's on the agenda tonight? >> Nope. Okay. Moving on to communications from council. I don't have anything this evening.
>> Um, I will start with can we as a team send a reminder to contractors to make sure that they clean up the road near their construction site. I personally am also on my fourth nail as well as some other residents in the West
community. Um, kudos to Doug. I don't see him here. He is always really good about being out and about, which I like in a director when they're hands-on. Um, we've had a lot of solicitors. Again, I it's like they know our seasons here. And for
residents to judge who's a solicitor, who's an actual contractor, there is a a little hiccup today in the west side of the Questa. They didn't have any identification on them, but Doug was out there asking them who are they with, what are they doing, and it got all cleared up. So, I appreciate the
hands-on approach from him. Parks and Crack, um, kudos to you. I know you guys are working on a lot of stuff for season, so to speak. Um, we have our rescheduled dance event, I guess we can call it, tomorrow night. And I did get a sneak
peek at one staff members at a local store picking up some really fun Christmas items. So, I'm very excited to see what they do. And that is it for now. Thank you. >> No comments for me. Thank you. Uh, nothing. >> And just a couple quick items. Note, you
know, Tuesday was Veterans Day and I just wanted to wish a belated Veterans Day to everyone. I know we have a lot of staff members that served and just truly from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you so much for your service. Uh, and and like Pastor Paul said, what an amazing Chile cookoff. I think most of
us were there. Uh, it it just gets bigger and better every year and I can't wait to see that presentation in December. Um, in regards to the Dequesta Park local bill, um, I spoke at the Martin County legislative delegation last month and today at the Palm Beach
County legislative delegation. I want to thank Vice Mayor, Council Member French, and the manager for being there in support. And from both delegations, we received unanimous support to uh, move the bill forward. So, I'm extremely excited. I am just so proud of council
with um, the efforts and work we've put towards the Questa Park the past couple years. We have a long way to go this session, but uh fingers crossed and I know we've all going to be there advocating to get this one through. Now, the Palm Beach County League of Cities has also provided their legislative
update at the delegation meeting today. I'm not going to get into it because that is our final agenda agenda item, but um I spec we only have three minutes. So I specifically spoke on property tax reform, SB180 and municipal elections and we received good feedback
and um the delegation really wants to work with us this session on a lot of these items. Um I think maybe the manager will give an update on the FCC quiet zone during his report. Um, if not, I just is there anything we can do
to kind of try to expedite this? I mean, is it at a point where we reach out to Mass's office? I don't know if you just want to talk about it more during your manager's report, but I just want to throw that out there cuz I know we all got that update and it's just beyond discouraging um what we've had to deal with for this quiet zone. And then other
than that, I just want to say um happy Thanksgiving because we will not be in these chambers again before then. So, >> all right. And moving on to our standing reports. Village attorney, >> uh, you know, nothing of substance, but with Thanksgiving coming in two weeks, I want you all know that I am very
thankful to continue to have the privilege to occupy this chair. Thank you. >> Thank you, Keith. Village manager. >> Thank you, mayor. Um, wasn't as prepared for the FBC, but I can give a quick update. Um, you know, we were uh awarded
a grant or we were uh we I guess started an agreement with a grant process. The grant was going to have an agreement with Bright Line to um do some improvements to the track which would allow us ultimately to be able to make
the tra track track safer and also provide for quiet zone. Um we have been told by Brideline that they're no longer uh going to honor that and go through that process. Uh, I know Doug still has a meeting set up to um still uh go
through this process and get the funding, but we may we are going to try to work on agreement with FEC instead of Bright Line. And if that doesn't work, we could still uh possibly for the grant funding would still be available be able to uh bid that out and do it ourselves
as our own our own project. So, it's not dead yet. Um I don't think we've reached the point to reach out to Mass's office or or anything like that. I know Doug has a meeting soon with the FEC to see if we can continue to work that just from a different angle. So, um the
Questa holdem event is 5 to 8:30. Tomorrow we have the coffee with a cop. That'll be Saturday. That's the rescheduled event. Coffee with cop and shredded event. And then November 20th, we have planning zoning meeting. With that, you have my report. >> Thank you. Any comments, questions for the manager? No.
>> Thank you. >> All right. Police Department. >> Thank you, Mayor, Vice Mayor. Congratulations, Lori. It is a pleasure to work with Lori. She honestly is phenomenal. Has our hands in everything and honestly is always there to help us out. So, congratulations, Lori. Uh, you
have my report before you. Uh, just a couple things that matter touched on. Coffee with a cop this upcoming Saturday and the shirt event. We'll also be doing our firearms class at the same time. Uh, Lieutenant Yield will be handling that. Uh I just want to touch on Halloween patrols. We had a lot of great
compliments from the community. We were out there in full force along with our coops and uh our community truly loved them being out there giving the candy to the kids. So uh we got a couple of emails on that uh just complimenting the troops and Captain McGovern did a phenomenal job
with the chili cook off as always. Uh I'd be remiss if I didn't think uh thank the Florida Guard who actually came out and assisted us this year with security. Uh some of you may not know we have Lieutenant Yield who actually uh volunteers and goes out and flies sometimes with Florida Guard and uh he
was able to get some uh assistance in regards to uh security for the event. So the last thing is and I'll be quick is last time I talked about a big drug bus that we had uh Scout and Detective Looney. So we brought Scout here who is
the hero of the police department. And some of you have uh we've made some new magnets for people and for our community members. It's scout and it has our non-emergency number as well as 911. We'll be giving them out on Saturday as well as any community member that wants to come into the station and just grab
one. We'll be more than happy. But uh Michael's part of a huge bus that was 173 kilos of cocaine which street value of over $17 million. >> That's drugs that are not in our hands. knows how many lives that saves and how
many lives it changes. So, he does phenomenal work. So, we wanted to bring Scout who's very uh happy. I see. >> And I know Councilwoman Brandon said she wanted his uh present here. So, >> he deserves it. >> Plus, we couldn't bring our last.
>> All right. Well, we are very proud of Scout, us as a council. So, we have something for him. [Music] >> Do you want to take a bowl and give it to her? >> Good. >> Yeah,
>> he'll eat that, >> too. >> Thank you. >> You're doing a good job, buddy. >> No, he'll take it. >> He's just very, very loves you. >> Detective Looney, if you need help with
the gift disclosure forms for Kurt. >> Thank you. Thank you. before I don't know if anyone has any questions. [Applause] >> Still in the show, >> it's a bad meeting. I'll bring scout that way.
>> It'll totally change the energy in the room. Any comments, questions for the chiefs? >> No, ma'am. >> All right. Thank you. >> Next up, fire department. >> Good evening, everyone. Mayor, vice mayor, council, I can't follow the dog.
I apologize. I don't have one. We're working on it. It's a tough act. Um, we had a very busy month. It was fire prevention month in October. We had lots of kids visiting the firehouse. We went out to a lot of the different schools in the area. Um, Girl Scouts, we had
firefest. We did a Halloween event at Jupiter and the Colony. So, we're strengthening that contract and that relationship we have with them. It's been wonderful so far. Uh, I attended Florida Fire Chief's Health and Safety Conference. Uh, it's incredible. I had never been. Uh, tons of learning
opportunities for us to get better and keep our people uh, healthy and mentally sound, which is the big push right now. Um, so that was really good in Orlando. A lot of training as usual. Um, most of the training this month was with other
agencies. We did some stuff with the water distribution group and we had stuff with Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Palm Beach County Water Rescue. I mean, it was the the list is endless and it was it was some really good learning
experiences for our people. I love when they get to work with the other agencies. We had a great meeting with Palm Beach Gardens. we're going to be able to use their fire academy um which is only about 6 milesi away as opposed to where we've been traveling to use firemies is much much further. So it
keeps our units close by and in service and unit availability is a huge push for us. Um so that they're going to be letting us use that at no cost which is fantastic. So we can use that nights and weekends and if we coordinate with them we can use it during the day as well. we were
really pushing for the weekend so we can capture all those hours we need for our ISO rating. And I've also been working with the attorney's office on um some mental health stuff and things that have to go through him for u open carry
safety with my rescues. Just different things that we've been talking about and I've had a lot of good conversations with uh Mr. Dylan. So, thank you very much for that. And that's about it. Do you have any questions for me? >> Thank you, council. Not. Thank you, Chief. Thank you, chief. >> Thank you, >> Chief.
And last, the utilities department. >> Good evening, Mayor, Vice Mayor, Council. Um, in your agenda packet today, there is an update for our utilities dashboard and project update. A couple of things I would like to highlight is for Dover Ditch. If you had not had a chance to go by Dover Ditch,
the tide has gone down, so it's actually really awesome. You can see the meandering of the canal. Um, so that project should wrap up before the end of the year. So, we're pretty excited about the progress there. Um, moving on, the water treatment plant improvements project is out to bid and bids are due tomorrow. So, we're excited
to get those bids in. The filter and media replacement, pressurized vessel project, welding repairs are almost complete, so we'll be moving on to the next two vessels. Our membrane delivery is tomorrow and they plan to mobilize Monday. So, we'll start the replacement of the membranes in one of those trains.
Um, our water treatment master plan is on tonight's agenda and if approved, we'll have our kickoff meeting for that tomorrow. And with water being one to Quest Drive, I just wanted to um let council know that next week, the 17th through the 21st, Country Club Drive crossing will be underway. So, there'll
be a partial lane closure right at that intersection for that one week. Um the partial lane closure will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. And there'll be road plates after that for um the streets to be open during hight traffic times. Um the the connection that has to
be made is open cut so we can't directionally drill right there in that area. So we will have the partially lane closure. Um and then after that we will be doing the open cut work on El Portal which will be a partial enclosure but that'll be after Thanksgiving. We have told the contractor that they'll have to
have the site all tidied up for the um run for the pies and then um I hear you uh council member Brandon. We will um make sure we reinforce picking up the site. >> Sorry about that. >> Um
and then Martin County Line Road Bridge replacement project. Um our directional drill contractor plans to mobilize next week starting on the 18th. Um, so they'll get that project underway. So then the bridge project can take place after that. Um, and I was made aware that the pre-construction video for the
bridge project has been completed. So they plan to slowly mobilize after we move out of their way. And that is all I have and I will take any questions. >> Thank you. Any comments or questions for Allison? >> No questions. >> Just one comment. Mayor Allison. Um on
the water man on Twa Drive and Northto the northwest corner >> there's a sidewalk that is it's a squared off sidewalk and the piece of equipment was there and I just noticed today like 3/4 of that corner is broken and a lot of kids on bikes kind of get
there and it terminates because of the construction fence. But if you can just send somebody out there to take a peek at that. So it's from the northwest corner do north do and Quest Drive. >> Okay. We'll take care of it tomorrow. >> Thank you, Alison. >> Thank you.

required number of parking spaces for marinas. Thank >> you, mayor. Ordinance 0725, Ordinance of the Village Council, village of the Quest of Florida, amending chapter 78, zoning, article 10, off streetet and on street parking and loading regulations. Section 78705
entitled required number of parking spaces to modify the number of required spaces for various marina uses such as charter boat, wet slips, water taxis, and boat clubs. Also providing parking requirements for accessories and crew amenities. Providing that each and every other section subsection of chapter 78
zoning shall remain in full force and effect as previously adopted providing a conflict clause sub clause authority to codify an effective date and for other purposes. >> Thank you Keith. Jay >> Jay Hutch community development director. So this is a zoning tax amendment to uh to clean up our our parking code as it relates to marinas.
Um as you recall this this came to council uh I think sometime in August. We then clean the code up a little bit in in working with the applicant and I think we've come up with a resolution that um kind of protects the village from from future marina development while also allows uh the gym club to
redevelop their property. Um I'm here to answer any questions the applicant uh Troy Hallways as well. >> Thank you council. Any comments or questions? >> No. No. >> Any public comment? >> I get a motion. >> So moved. Second.
>> All in favor? I right on to new business. Agenda item 18, a special exception use 02-25 for the Jib Club Marina. And I know uh Keith is going to do the SM item for this item and also the next item 19,
which is a site plan modification for the Jib Club. >> Thank you, mayor. Uh or agenda items 18 and 19 both relate to uh the Jib Club Marina. uh uh the applicant is uh 2 GH for both applications and they both uh
uh address the same property. These are both quasi judicial proceedings which means uh testimony that's presented to the village council needs to be sworn. So if you're going to be uh offering testimony to the village council on either the special exception application or the site plan modification
application, I do need to swear you in. I can swear everyone in at the same time. If you'll all please stand, raise your right hand. uh whoever is going to be speaking on this item, do each of you swear or affirm under penalties of perjury, your testimony of the village council will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Thank
you very much. And then I need to come back to the council and ask if any of you have engaged in any exparte activities, whether it's discussions with staff or the applicant, engaged in any site visits or consulted with third parties on these items. While those activities are permissible, they need to
be disclosed for the record at this time to remove your the presumption of any purchase. >> I have not. >> None. >> Yes. Spoken to village staff and site visit. >> I have not. >> I have spoken to village staff and have driven by the site. >> All right. Thank you, mayor. Then we uh
with those disclosures and the swearing in, we can proceed with agenda item 18. >> Good evening, Jay Hutch again. Uh, so I'm going to let uh the applicant uh Troy Holloway speak first and then I'll clear up anything after that uh answer any questions.
>> Sure. >> Good evening everyone. Okay, I can never see right for the record Troy and all the way up to GHO. We're here on behalf of the Jib Club. With me tonight again is John Prriscup and his son who both own and
manage the marina. Hopefully you're you'll see me for the last time tonight on this project. Um we're hoping uh we're here tonight since the uh the text amendment is now behind us. We're here tonight I'm we're going to combine the the special exception of site plan into one if that's okay. Uh
we're here tonight requesting site plan and special exception pro approval for a minor expansion uh to the existing GIF club and marina for a 921 foot second story addition uh which is for manager's office uh and storage for miscellaneous
marina supplies and uh equipment. We're all very familiar with the site location. Um and this is kind of a blowup of the marina itself. uh which then also does show where the proposed uh building addition will be placed on top of the
the ship store and there's a little building next to it. It will kind of straddle both of those structures and this is a a blow up on the site plan of that uh the addition. Uh the total site area the marina the wetland I guess the
water and the uplands itself is 1.6 acres. Uh the total building area which consists of four separate structures is only 118 square ft. Uh the proposed addition of 921 only provides a total square footage of two just over 2,000
square ft. Um the existing and proposed open space is 19.2%. Um we're not adding any uh more impervious area. We're not adding any parking spaces, sidewalks or anything. It's just the the structure on top of the building. Uh the provided parking is
24 spaces with the uh the text amendment. Uh 20 spaces are required. So we're okay there as well. Um again the proposed additional is only 921 ft. Um it does have a west facing balcony which will overlook the fueling
stations uh and the marina itself. It does provide for a much much needed prov private office space for the marine operations. Uh it'll have a small kitchenet space, a private bathroom because right now they have to use the the public restroom that everyone uses
um and storage for miscellaneous marina supplies and and equipment as well. Um this and the big thing is here to open up retail space in the in the ship store. Um and this will not function as a bar or party room. I know there was discussions early on and some concern
with that. Strictly just an office space. U just a few things about the gym club. It is a fueling fueling service is their main business there. Um it does contain no limit boards or charter boats. There's one employee each day. Uh no alcoholic beverages are served inside or
outside of the ship store. However, people can go inside and they can purchase food and drinks and they can drink them outside. There's a little space outside. There's four seats and a counter. They can sit there and and snack and and have have some conversations. Um the outside boat service typically u
they only service one guest a week and there of course there's 29 slips uh existing at the facility. These are some of the shots of the existing uh facility. The top left uh photo there is the that's kind of facing the south property line. Um as you can
see little little covered area that covers the ice machine and the freezer and the building to the right. Uh that's the walk-in freezer. uh the picture to the right of that upper right corner that's essentially the same south facing uh view and then on the the building to
the right there that is the existing restroom and storage structure uh that the office will be sitting on essentially on top of those two buildings. Uh on the bottom there that's the the north face uh elevation and on the bottom right that's the outdoor little area where you can sit. There's
about four chairs there and a counter where people can sit and have a and have a snack and have their have their drink. This is the inside of the uh of the ship store. It is only 398 ft. Is very tiny. Um they do basically just sell
necessities there. They have drinks and snacks, uh some fishing fishing lures, fishing uh fishing items, uh sunglasses and those kind of things. Uh this is the area where basically uh they have the small space that they have to work in to
manage the arena every day. Uh it gets kind of difficult sometimes if they're counting cash or doing books and things and people are coming and going. It's not the not the best situation here. These are the proposed elevations. Um as you can see they they propose to to kind
of change the subdue the colors a little bit. Change from that bright yellow they've got today. Um the bottom the only change on the bottom will be the paint colors. The top would be the addition itself. Um the top elevation at the west that would be the elevation facing the marina, the inter coastal and
the fuel stations. Um and that would be the balcony that would be facing uh the fuel stations. We'll be providing for standing seam metal roof uh some black decorative Bahamas shutters. Um and again that's the balcony. And then we have horizontal
stucco sighting to match the bottom of the building. And again, the bottom nothing changes at all. Um the the elevation to the bottom right corner, the south elevation. Um as you can see, one of the items when we did meet with in the colony was their concern with
windows facing down on the residential. So we we do have we do need light inside of that room. So we do have windows, but they have Bahamas shutters. They don't really open out that far. So, no direct views into that backyard. And the only access it would be the
stairs as you can see in a couple of those locations would be just between the the two structures would go up to uh the addition. Uh we've kind of dropped with these images here. This is the existing ship store. And then what we show here then
is the image of the of the the 921 foot office dropped on top of that. Um, as you can see, it just kind of sits on top of the restroom storage building there to the left and then the bait store. And the only thing we've added are the columns to just kind of help support that.
And the south view, actually, it really cleans up. It kind of kind of brings all the the miscellaneous pieces of what's going on out there. It kind of pulls it all together. Uh, so this is the south view. Again, just limited limited windows just to bring light in upstairs.
U nice balcony, but otherwise everything stays exactly the same. Um in conclusion, you Palm Beach County traffic has uh has determined that we meet all the traffic standards. Uh the boat slip and improvements are have all current approvals. We're requesting no
variances or waiverss with this application. Uh the addition is consistent with your comprehensive plan and we do agree to all of the conditions in the staff reports. Thank you. Thank you, Troy. And uh before I open up
for council discussion, Jay, I don't think you've touched base yet. There are conditions of approval. Some from PNZ and I think one from staff. >> Correct. Jeremy, can you pull my presentation up, please? >> It would be the one second from the top. >> That one.
>> Yep. scroll down to the last page if I'll just forward. Yeah, I think Troy pretty much covered everything. Um, so I'll just touch on what the uh conditions of approval are. Um, so the PCB reviewed this at their August 21st
meeting uh voted 5 to zero to recommend approval with the following two conditions. That the second story room shall not be used for banquetss, events, and parties. And that if any event is held, a special uh event permit would have to be approved through a normal process. So this actually came from kind of from Jupiter in the colony and the
homeowner that lives immediately adjacent to this. So we did have some concerns initially about, you know, whether or not they would support this. Uh touched base with them and talked to that nearby resident and their only real concern was that there could be events and parties there. So um we we ran this
condition by them and they said that they'd have no issues with the project if if this was proposed. So that was uh put in here. Uh, and then also just kind of a standard comment that that they have to screen all their mechanical equipment um during during permitting. And then one comment that came up after
the August 21st PCB meeting between now and then is uh Juper and the Colony had the following suggested condition. This came from their their village manager or the the colony manager. Uh, and that's to mirror their hours of construction. They're not the exact same as ours. So,
they're proposing that they be from 8 am to 5:00 pm uh Monday through Friday and 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on Saturday. It's a very slight difference from what we have. Um otherwise, that's all I've got. >> All right. Thank you, Jay. And um for for council discussion, I know it was
presented to us uh as a package with the SEU and the um SPM, but we do need to have a separate discussion since the voting criteria is different. So, I will start with agenda item 18, the special exception use. So, does council have any uh comments, discussion on the uh
special exception? >> No comments, no discussion. >> Nothing for me. >> I'm none >> for number 18. No mail. Okay. Thank you. I don't have any either. >> Can I ask a question of Jay? do with the
special conditions. Is it the staff's intent they attach to both applications or site plan or special exception? >> I didn't clarify that they're just to the site plan, not special exception. >> So that will not be part of your first motion, >> right? Yeah, it's time. Got it. Any public comment? No. All right. Can I get
a motion? >> So moved. Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> All right. Agenda item 19, which is a site plan modification 04-25 for the Jib Club Marina. So, council, any discussion on the site plan modification portion?
>> I have one question. I might have missed it. Uh, the applicant was agreeing to these conditions already. >> Agreeable. >> Correct. It did state that at the end of the presentation. >> Okay. Thank you. I'm sorry I missed that. Uh, no questions on it. I look
forward to seeing the project completed. >> I have nothing. >> Nothing for me. No question, but kudos for the balcony on the top story because in the marine industry, it's very good and smart to have access to jump outside if you have to yell at a boater. So,
>> kudos to you for thinking about that one. Sometimes you just got to get out and say, um, but no other questions. >> I don't have any any questions. Just again, thank you for taking the extra time to work through that zoning tax amendment with us and I think it'll be a great improvement to your property.
>> Thank you. >> Is there any public comment? No. All right. Can I get a motion? >> So moved. >> Second. All in favor? >> I I >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Agenda item 20. We have a conceptual presentation for a repurpose
of the former Bank of American building. >> Mayor, um if I may, let's see. You actually uh have two conceptual presentations on tonight's agenda. uh the one that's up right now and then the next agenda item is also a
conceptual presentation on a different matter. But if I can just read into the record my my uh statement regarding conceptual presentations which will apply to both this agenda item and the next agenda item and that is that these conceptual presentations are not quite
judicial proceedings and no action shall be taken by the village council beyond discussion with the applicant. Neither the outcome of this conceptual presentation nor any comments made during this conceptual presentation by any council member or village staff is a guarantee or assurance in any way of the final action that may be taken by the
council pursuant to a formal applications for site plan review. >> Thank you. >> Good evening Jay Hush. I'm just trying to give my boss hard time tonight. Um can you actually pull up the other um the other one? So, I'm going to let uh the applicant
present this one first and then follow up with any clarification if needed. Uh so, this is Jacob Williams who's the proposed applicant and I think they've also had some assistance with Troy from 2JHO. >> Thank you guys. This is uh my mom as well, Sharon Williams.
>> Hi. Thank you. >> Partnered on all of our projects, but this one especially. But if we can just look through a couple slides here, show people. >> So, this property, as you know, is an existing Bank of America building at the
gateway to Toquesta. It is ex existing at a little over 6,000 square ft. We are proposing to redesign it to infill the existing threelane drive-thru to bring
the building to roughly 9,000 square ft. Uh it's a 14 1.4 acre site. It has uh 79 parking spaces when you include the uh shared parking with the uh adjoining property.
The uh current zoning is MU. Uh we have no requests for any changes of the zoning. Uh give you an idea of the suites. We're looking to create a uh
four or five suite building and a patio in the rear. This gives you a rough idea of the design with green space in the rear and a patio. Everyone's aware of the site.
Um, this is a put together by Troy and his team and it shows you a redesigned landscape plan. And this gives you a conceptual understanding of how we would redesign
the building. So it would include a Florida vernacular style uh using um Vcrimp metal roof uh pecky cyprus uh blue ceilings for the patio
um and shell stone for the columns and also canvas awnings. something bright and happy. This gives you an idea of some of the design criteria that we'll be putting in. This your north elevation and your south
elevation. We're mirroring basically the existing elevation you see when you turn on to drive for the other side in the west elevation. and then the front. So, we'll be
adjusting the um parapits in order to make the building no longer look like a Bank of America building. So, um just a little bit about who we are. We're boutique developers, family-owned and operated. I live uh he lives down the street and I live in the
country club. So, uh, we're family-owned and operated since, uh, 1985. And, uh, we do our own construction, our own site work, and our own brokerage, uh, full development services. Even though we're tiny, we're an eight person staff
company, but we handle from stoop to nuts the entire process. Uh, it allows us to create redevelopments in communities that are aligned with our boutique style in order to do it in an expeditious manner. So, we're hoping to
get your support tonight so we can move on to complete this project in the next three quarters. So, um, this is some examples of some of our properties that we've worked on. This one, this one's um I'm sure you
guys are familiar. This is 307 to Questa Drive just just down the street here. That building um we do not own a building. We just helped a friend on the general contracting side of things. But this building was um it had some turnover. It had a lot of lip glist lip
gloss over the years and we really we took this building from all the way back to the bones all the way up to current. So, um it shows a little bit of like our style of construction. We're we're not looking to just paint or just update the landscape. This got full mechanical, electrical,
plumbing, windows, flooring, every part of this building was brought up to current code. Um, and the aesthetics of the community. So, um, and it shows our timeline as well. We we our first phone call on that job was January or February of this year. We weren't able to start
construction until like June and we had the place open for business in September. So, when we start, we finish and we have an expedited timeline. Next is a Westside Station. This was a former racrack gas station in Winter Garden, Florida that we converted to a
10,600 ft² uh three building property. Uh it serves uh the community well. Uh the parking lot is always full. Businesses are doing great in the community. It houses a coffee shop, a
nail studio, a tea bar, and a sushi and a uh fast casual healthy gourmet. Next is a 403 South Dillard. This was a 3,000 ft outdated daycare. Uh it was located on the gateway into Winter
Garden. Um, and we completely redid the facade and uh built out the space for two small business owners to move into who are operating successfully today. So, that's our presentation, who we are,
what we do, and what we'd like to do in this community uh with your support. Great. >> Thank you. I think Jade, do you have a presentation, too, and then we'll open up for council discussion. Sure. So I think you guys are all familiar with the site. Obviously this came to
you I think in August uh with a different proposal uh slightly different. Uh just wanted to clarify a few things. So that one needed a special exception because there was a drive-thru. This one would not need a special exception as proposed. There is no drive-thru in the mixeduse zoning
district. restaurants, personal services, retail, medical office, office, and businesses services under 5,000 square ft are considered permitted uses and do not need a special exception. Uh, in terms of parking, um, I'm sure
you're wondering, how are they enclosing the drive-thru and still needing parking? That's because the previous project was a fast food restaurant, which it has to be parked at one space per 50 square ft. uh they're proposing to have a mix of tenants, some professional office, some business
office and some standard restaurants. And the parking calculation for a standard restaurant is one space per 100 ft. So the project as proposed is required to provide 75 spaces. There are 79 spaces on site. They've also done a
shared parking study um which was proposed as part of that previous proposal as well. Uh and that shows that the actual peak parking demand would only be 59 spaces uh due to the proposed uses not having peak demand at the same time. Right? So those restaurant uses um
generally aren't going to be totally full during the daytime. Whereas the professional offices, the medical offices are going to be busy during the daytime, but they're going to generally be closed at 4 or 5:00. So there's kind of some synergies where they can internally share parking and reduce the maximum amount of parking spaces
required. Uh won't walk you through this too much. They've already shown this. Uh, and if they do move forward, they'd be just it would just be a straight site plan. And so we would be applying our our typical standards for site plan review. Harmony with other buildings, harmony surroundings,
um, advertisements, lighting, building styles, uh, exterior forms. So, it's really just kind of a look at the the typical um site plan um, design features. Uh, and of course they'd have to go through our development review committee, meet all of our zoning code
standards, uh, before they would come back to you for that site plan. Uh, happy to answer any questions. >> Thank you, Jay. All right, council. I'll open it up for discussion. >> Well, thank you. You want me to go? >> No.
>> Okay. Um, thank you so much um for coming in. Really like the proposed design, the finishes. Um, think you put some thought into PY Cypress is not the cheapest material out there. So, I I I like that you're um, you know, those
extra touches help. Um, and uh, the only real question I have, and it's probably pretty early on in the process, and if you know and can't share, that's also fine, but any idea who the tenants might be at this point, or are you still really kind of in that
early stage? Just trying to decide what you're going to do with it. And >> if you could um, just step up your podium. Thank you. And I guess before you answer that, I'll I'll let me just kind of layer on to that is I love that you guys are local and I know this is
not easy to do. Um but you know I I we have heard from residents that you know a strong desire to try to find some local businesses and I listen I get that's not as easy as just saying go out and find some local businesses and but um is that something that you would
consider a priority for your property? It seems like that with some of your other developments, there's some they aren't chained or they're more local users. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I mean, that's that's our our first goal is to work with the people within the community. >> With that comes the the feasibility of a
project like this with with high real estate values and a competitive market like it is, things have to work or they don't work. >> Um, so we have every every intent to make it work with local people and we're cultivating. I mean, I'm I'm outreaching to businesses locally to see how I can
make it work. I give them a haircut. I go to a butcher shop. Like, you guys got to be here. This is ability for you guys. So, we're there. And um >> and we've already met with several local businesses. >> Good. I love that. >> It's definitely I mean, that is 100%. I'd love to drive by the building every morning and be proud of the dynamics
there. So, >> great. No, that's half the reason I I love that you're local. You know, it's >> you're going to be driving by it and you'll hear from the community one way or another. So, I watched the the August movement for this building and the day after was reaching out to try to buy the
building because I knew it's going to take that >> balance. Ma'am, would you just mind stepping up to the podium and using mic cuz that way um we live stream that way people will be able to hear as well. >> Thank you. >> Understood. No problem. >> Yes. So, we we work hard to bring local
to any of our projects. It is it is a component that we find very successful and it matches our design that we do for redevelopment of buildings. However, the balance of feasibility still plays in there. So, at the end of the day, we you have our commitment.
>> Yeah. No, that's all we can ask. I I I totally get that. So, um just that you're already reaching out tells me something and um I hope that there are some local businesses that can make it a home. Um but that's just had to ask the question, that's all. So, thank you. No,
I really do like the design. Um, looks, at least in the pictures, a heck of a lot better than it's looked for the last several years sitting there as an empty bank. So, um, also love that, you know, we're not dealing with, at least not yet, you know, a ton of different, we're just looking at site plan approval. I
mean, this isn't a very complicated, uh, approval process thus far. Um, and that you're not, although I know you're closing the drive-thru, but other than that, you're not trying to make this massive building that won't work for the site. And um, so yeah, that's really all
I have. I think I think you did a good job so far where you're at. >> Thank you. We appreciate that. >> So, I think it's well known that I am usually the one called out saying I don't like developers when I constantly say that's not true. It just has to be the right developer. And you guys in
particular, your business is the exact developer that I love. One, you're local. Two, you take things that exist and you turn them into something good rather than just building more and more and more and leaving those things that exist. So, I love that re reuse and make
it better. Um, the fact that you guys are local sits really deep in my heart because you guys see what the village is and you guys feel what it is. So, as much as we would love local businesses in every little spot, realistically that's not possible. We need a couple of
anchors, um, and we would want the building to be successful. So, if you really realistically for me to expect a little bit of mix in there, I think it's smart that you're going to divide into four spots just because I know what the commercial lease rates are and they're very frightening. I honestly don't know
how coffee shops are staying alive with that. The only push back, the first thing people said to me was that word you have on there. Can you take a guess? Coffee shop. Um, so I'm not saying no coffee, but as you guys are shopping around for tenants, um, my only
recommendation, be very mindful to keep it mixed. Kind of like you said, I grew up in a small town where we had a we literally had a meat market and then next door was a 7-Eleven. You get your slurpee and then you go and you get your haircut and there was a little produce place. So, I really like to see that in
the future for Tequesta. So, that way people can literally get a little bit of everything here. So, I wish you the best trying to match that. But, I'm open to whatever you guys can fill. Um, the other thing, the south asphalt driveway, is that one way
cuz on the north side it's two ways and then south would be one. >> It'll be one way. >> Okay. Um, and then the other thing, this is more like a Jay question. I just I feel like I don't fully understand this parking agreement and I'm not against parking agreements. Um I think they work
like when it's parking lot next to something else and the using times, you know, are opposite of each other. The daytime parking for this is where I'll be sitting cuz who knows what you'll fill it with. And since we don't know those answers yet, I don't know if you could kind of ask us for a parking
agreement yet because I don't know how we could agree to time frames when we don't even know what the uses are yet. >> Sure. And and right now they technically do meet code, right? So they are um required to provide 75 spaces and they're providing 79. So that shared parking thing is just it's just a
demonstration to show that they really they're they're overparked. Um, and then if they ever were to come try and do an official shared parking agreement, the council doesn't have to approve it. Like if they if they had a coffee shop that you knew was going to be 100% busy in
the morning at the same time as the dental office, you could say, "Well, there's no parking synergy there cuz they're going to be 100% full at the same time." >> Yeah, you could reject that. >> I'm not rejecting. I just don't have enough info to make that decision wisely. >> Yes, we'll vet it through the the
developer review process. Perfect. That was it. But I'm very happy you guys were listening and watching cuz I knew there's people like you out there. We just got to make sure you guys know it's very possible. >> Definitely. Thank you guys for listening
to the residents and the council comments and and obviously you have because you come come together with this. Uh 307 to Questa is beautiful. You did a wonderful job. It really changes that entrance there. Uh I look forward to seeing where else you come up with. Uh this is very exciting and I when you
when I first saw this item come up I was like finally um so very exciting. Thank you. >> Uh yeah Sharon and Jacob thank you very much. Appreciate your time and investment inquest not only personally but also now professionally. Um Jay I'm assuming that maybe I missed it but all
the green space all those requirements are adequate. >> Yeah they they'll meet all those. They'll be >> landscape buffering. there. So there there would be no waiverss or variances of any sort requested as we're currently evaluating it. >> A very wise man at the far end of our
dis um I think the last presentation said we can't keep voting no can't keep saying no. We need to bring something in. I think you've taken the steps to to to address those concerns. Um, I know that the size of the building brings financing challenges and so I would
imagine that you'll as Lori mentioned probably have some type of regional or credit tenants for your financing if needed or >> Yes, potentially. I mean, nothing nothing is set at this time, but potentially. Yes. >> Okay. Um, and the the restaurant
generically, is it going to be like a fast service restaurant? I know in Winter Garden you had a healthy meal, quick service or something you called it. >> Yeah, it was a fast casual healthy gourmet meal. >> Okay. >> So, um we don't know if that will same
tenant will be at this location at this time. >> Okay. Um and no, we don't know but we do have more coffee shops per capita than Portland, Oregon. That's a fact. So, just we are the c we
are the coffee capital of the United States, believe it or not. 2.2 square miles. But no, thank you. You've done a great job with that. I look forward to seeing move forward. >> Thank you. >> Yeah. Oh, thank you for the presentation. I really appreciate the elevation improvements. I have to say
when you pulled up your presentation and you had that pop of yellow, I loved it cuz when in our backup, it looks like the same gray, white, and blues we see everywhere. I was like, "Not another gray, white, and blue building." And I I'm like a broken record. It's like, "Love the poppy yellow. Definitely think
outside the box. Try to do those little pops or little details here and there that stand out from, you know, that that coastal the trend that we're just seeing everywhere. Um, so take that into consideration. Um, I think I've said this with other concepts. It's a great
opportunity to beautify this corner, one of our, you know, main intersections, especially when it comes to landscaping, like really, uh, you know, maybe having those shade trees along Questa Drive and US Swan. And I've talked to Jay about this in the past. I know I think
technically that you don't have to uh comply with the civic open space, but I don't want to see a missed opportunity like you know there's that dry retention on the it's on the east I guess is a northeast corner there like maybe you could do some kind of like wooden deck over that so you would still have the
drainage but kind of have that landing space that civic open space cuz we're really working towards making our main corridors you know the frontage that that um inviting engaging and lively aspect effect of our corridor. That's really what we're striving um for going
forward. So, if if there's anything you could do to try to work that in, that would be so amazing. And then um my only other minor comments, the outdoor seating for the restaurant is in the back. Um the dumpsters are very close based on this is based on the plan we have. I don't know if those would get
moved, but the the transformers right there, the dumpsters are right there. And again, going back to having the frontage of the quarters being that, you know, live and engaging. It'd be really nice if you could squeeze in that patio on the front east elevation versus the
back. There is room to do a small patio in the front, maybe, you know, four or five tables, but the rear would house the majority. And then we would uh construct either stucco or some sort of landscape barrier to make the when somebody enters into the back and
they're going to have a meal that they're not hearing road traffic cuz that's that's the complaint we get from a lot of tenants of ours that they they can't create that ambiance when the road you know traffic's coming by at 50 m an hour. So um that was the reason for
putting it in the back but there is space in the front to do something small. >> Okay, great. Those are my only comments. Again, thank you for bringing that to us. And uh I will take councils. We're not voting tonight since there's no uh it's just a conceptual, but I will take
public comment. No. Any public comment? No. All right. Well, again, thank you for your time and we hope to see you again in the future. >> Thank you. >> Thank you very much. >> All right. Next item, agenda item 21, a conceptual presentation
from the Sweets LLC for one of the old CMX properties. Good evening, Jay. Hop again. We're going to let the uh applicant present first and then uh Meg has a presentation to follow up to kind of answer any questions that come up.
>> Thank you. Good evening. My name is Evan Mueller on behalf of uh the Sweets LLC uh Justin Angel. We're here to initiate a conversation about the challenge of uh redeveloping a very narrow uh site there
at 279 Old Dixie Highway. Uh here north is going to be to your right. Um this is a sliver of land that is only 50 feet deep. Um, so we're here to work collaboratively collaboratively with you guys to uh reimagine what this site could be, which uh used to be a CMX site
as shown here before it was cleared in 2024. The uh site itself is just under an acre. Again, some of the design challenges are going to be that that shallow depth of the of the site, but we did prepare a conceptual site plan. A little bit hard to see here. Uh but what
we are proposing are three buildings each about 4500 uh square feet that are going to be pushed all the way back to help buffer um old Dixie Highway from the FEC railroad. Um and what we're trying to do there is you know redevelop
the site so that we buffer sound and the isore of uh the the railroad track there along Old Dixie Highway and really redevelop and take advantage of this site. Um again more broadly again three buildings. We're proposing two separate
ingress egress points. One on the north that will service uh the northern building and the building in the center and then a smaller ingress egress driveway on the south. Um this is the conceptual architectural
package as of right now what those buildings might look like. Again, we're we're here to initiate the conversation to work collaboratively on what sort of finishes, what sort of architecture you're looking for uh when it comes to that site. But again, it's going to be that West Indies Mediterranean inspired
architecture. And this is just a blowup um kind of just horizontal of what our our plan hopes to achieve. Again, those buildings are going to be pushed back taking advantage of the zero foot setback um up against the FC railroad right ofway. And
then on the front side that facing old Dixie Highways where we would have some of our landscaping, a lot of that uh landscape pallet that's going to include some Clusia, Sylvester Palms, pod carpus, flowering beds, sod, and so on.
Uh, one of the things that we've been working with with your staff is to address the parking here. Uh, specifically, what are we going to call this use and what parking ratio are we going to use? Uh, we're thinking this is going to be like a flex professional office uh light industrial use. And so,
we're taking advantage of uh the professional business office ratio of one space to 300 ft. Uh with the amount of square footage that we're proposing, we'd be required 19 spaces. Right now, we're proposing in excess of two with 21
um which we are willing to uh kind of draw back because one of the things that we are working right now is to provide enough open space on that lot. Again, the design challenge here is it's a very narrow lot in terms of depth. Um, and so to fit the buildings, the parking, the
landscaping, um, it's it's a challenge, but I think we've put forward a a a conceptual plan that begins to achieve that. And so, um, again, just in summary, we're looking to redevelop that old industrial site and and it is our intent to fully uh comply with the
village center overlay, which the property is located inside of, and comply with your architectural guidelines. We're looking to provide enhanced landscaping along Old Dixie Highway and uh again like the previous presentation, support local uh
businesses. Um if I might be so bold, I'm part of your extended community coming up from Palm Beach Gardens and my client has done a lot of business and development in the northern part of Palm Beach County and Martin County. So, um we're very excited to to join in in the
community and maximize the potential of this very narrow lot. Um, so with that said, um, in case you want something, my notebook is open and ready to take feedback. Thank you. >> Any questions for Ed right now? >> You can go ahead and present it first
and then we'll open it up. >> So this Good evening, council. How are you today? >> Good evening. >> Meg Wyel with community development. Uh, this is a brief introduction for 279. We are familiar with the location. It is south of Dequesta Drive and west of Old
Dixie. It's in the zone C3. The applicant is proposing three new buildings, 13,500 square ft of new floor space, and the proposed use is office lights. This was previously the CMX construction or concrete site. In 2004, it was issued
demolition permit and it was demoed. Since then, the property has remained undeveloped. Here are the current conditions, the applicant's proposed elevation. So if you were driving north on Old Dix, this is what you can see to the left hand side.
This is the view of the proposed building from the railroad track. And the north and south elevations that you would see. The applicant has satisfied the requirements for the conceptual presentation. He has submitted all of
the required items. This is a comparison of what is currently proposed in the conceptual versus the C3 zoning district. Um he did not this is not designed to fit our code but it is very much so in line with it. The applicant already brought up that
open space is a discussion we've already had so they're aware. Landscaping is another point that the applicant is aware would need to be addressed. Um this is no formal action required by village council. The advocate may
proceed with their site plan submitt and staff will then perform a thorough review. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you may and uh council I will open it up for discussion if you can come back to the podium now too.
I don't have any questions. Just uh this night's full of uh successes and and great ideas, so I'm excited to see how this progresses and hear some of the other comments that come along. Thank you. >> Okay. Uh no, thank you for being here. I just mine are just questions. I I think
it's obviously a challenging site. Totally get that. Very narrow. was kind of intrigued to see what even before I saw this eventually I knew this was going to be something. Um can you kind of walk me through you you did describe the ingress egress but can you just kind of go through that
one more time? >> Yeah, of course. >> And I I wish I had >> that's one of my questions too. I'm like trying to look at it on here, but it's kind of I know it's even probably tougher to see up there, but >> you have our >> if we could go back to >> I can turn around and look at this. You
did have one there >> cuz I I guess the reason I'm asking is I've always envisioned it would kind of have to be a one one way >> kind of two separate oneways. Is that what we're talking correct? So, essentially, um, I'm going to be
pointing on this left screen here, which is >> I know what you want. >> How about this? >> I'll be on the, uh, yeah, if you go all the way to the north side, >> uh, there's going to be an ingress right there. Right. Right under your finger. Right there. >> Yep. And so, you'd be able to turn into the right, go north, park down to the
left, and park, and you terminate at that building. The second ingress eress is going to be on the south side. >> Yellow >> right there. And that's just going to service that one. Uh, bay or space there with uh right now it's shown with one space and and a loading zone.
>> So if you came in here, you come in and is there also an exit? Is that what that >> you would terminate there? We would have a parking spot blocked off where you could come in back out safely and then come back out the way you came in. >> Same with uh if you were to make a left into that building.
>> Okay. Okay. I got That's where the that's where the line share of the circulation is going to occur. >> So what I So I got this one and one of those two right there between the two yellows. >> What are all these >> the colors? >> Yeah, like these yellow
>> uh those are just kind of placeholders for what different types of landscaping vegetation. >> Did you just say those were turnarounds? >> The yellow. >> Yeah. >> No. So on the north >> it would be like flowering beds. Um the color was just we don't have a landscape
plan at this point. So the color is just to show visually where some of that landscaping treatment would go. >> Okay. >> I mean listen I I think considering the constraints of the site you guys have done a great job. um you know
office I I I guess if it's industrial maybe they're not as concerned about the noise and you know what that's up to them to figure out but >> yeah I mean we have a letter of intent right now from a blind company that would use it for their professional office some material as well as he's um going to be you know using one of the
bays as I understand for for his business as well store some material it's going to be pretty low impact. >> Okay. >> I don't really have any other questions. I think you guys did a a great job with a very challenging site. So, yeah.
>> Okay. So, you brought up bays and that one of your possible tenants wants to pull a vehicle into the bay for a loading zone. Keep saying that. Is that correct? >> Correct. >> Do we have do we know who that tenant is? So, we know what kind of uses? >> Not at this point. That's not set in
stone. >> Okay. But it's not like a museum or anything? >> No. No. So, you were fully aware of the text amendment that's on the other side of the road cuz it's still with Okay. Cuz there's a 500 foot. Okay. Just making sure cuz I didn't know how new you guys were. >> Yes. >> We don't want to go over history.
Um, again, interesting. Good for you for figure out how to put something on that property. I mean, many moons ago, there was a discussion in the village of if it should be a park, but there's a railroad track there, so it's >> Yeah. >> What do you do with that?
>> It's only 50 foot wide. Um, I appreciate in the presentation that you guys are confirming that the building height is technically one story and that's 27 ft 3 in just for the record cuz I know the second windows >> visually look like maybe what's going on. But I appreciate you adding the
design to kind of break up the walls, right? They don't like solid walls. >> That's really all I got. I mean, I had the egress ingress um question. I mean, just make my only depending on who's be using that. I mean, I drive big vehicles, so just be mindful of how
people turn around. >> Correct. >> Because I don't want anyone to get banged, but that's that's kind of on you'd figure that out with the design of the parking. But as long as the parking meets >> what you need, I mean, again, you don't have solid tenants yet, >> correct? >> Um, you have you said you have nine bays, that's a lot.
>> I mean, our our three focuses here with this project is going to be circulation. It's going to be landscaping, and it's going to be meeting the open space. >> Okay. I mean, good for you. I mean, again, good for you. I'm like Mr. French said, like pleasantly surprised like I knew you guys were out there somewhere
just for the week. So, thank you for presenting. Um, the visuals are great. I appreciate all the different options you guys present us and thank you for being open to our feedback. >> Thank you um to all anybody that comes in here and invests in our village.
Thank you very much. Um, this place can be really unique. It's such a challenging parcel of land as you you've struggled with. Um, but I think it could be challenging which means it could be very very unique and it's one of the southern entrances to
our village. I really think that there could be something that could be really neat that could really be the start of something for Old Dixie and then getting into the east side of the road as well. So, I applaud you for what you're trying to do. Um, so they're one story at 27 ft and I see that there's some big garage
doors on there. You mentioned a blind company. I mean, what you this to me seems like it it's lends itself more to construction companies and construction companies have more cars and more trucks. And my biggest concern is that we'd be we'd have a bunch of logo decal
trucks out front and is that consistent with the the use that we're looking at when it comes to parking? >> We'd be not we wouldn't be looking for heavy machinery contractors or anything like that. But I think at the end of the day, if it were to be um something in the development field, it would be, you
know, installers of something like cabinets or like blinds, right? You're talking about maybe a sprint van or something of that nature. We're not thinking big trucks uh with cranes or any sort of front loaders or big heavy equipment there. Um at the end of the
day, we want to stress the the idea that we want some office space used where business is going to be conducted. And so, um, there's going to be that active frontage and, uh, it's not just going to be a storage facility where, uh, before hours and after hours big trucks are
going to be coming in and out. >> Just to touch on your your question, uh, there are some protections in the code about outdoor storage and, you know, having decal vehicles out front. So, if this did come forth through site plan approval, staff would likely propose some conditions of approval to ensure
that there's no outdoor storage of materials, um, no And and I think that's why the interior bays kind of enable them just to to not have to worry about that and store everything inside. So I think it is a kind of a nice solution here. >> I think I saw in the staff comments that
I know we don't have a detailed landscape plan, but it's going to be tight to get our required open space, green space. >> Yeah, they're a little short on it. Um I I think they're overparked, so they can probably lose two parking spaces and meet that. There's there's I'm sure
there's some solutions there. >> Yeah. And like you said before, you know, my concern is that maybe the tenant mix doesn't pan out that like we hope it will and then you might end up a different use. Um so we might need more parking. So
I'd hate to see us cut back on some. Maybe there's I don't know what what can be done. I know again it's the challenge of this unique site. Um and and I hate to I don't want to see like I said logoed cars out there, logoed trucks, you know, they could park inside. Um the
inside you've got a the big garage door. So is this akin to a a big open space with like a lofted office space inside? Like is it going to be two stories with like a second story loft or trying to visualize what it's going to be like inside. >> Yeah, that internal architecture hasn't
been flushed out just yet. Um but to my knowledge, no. It wouldn't it wouldn't be that. >> Okay. >> Just seems like a 27 foot high one story building is >> a lot of what we're envisioning is a ground floor office facing Old Dixie. Um
and then that back that back area would just be >> Yeah. Um you know I again this is something that is exciting to see something being trying to to be built on this. Uh it's going to be a challenge. Um my concerns lie with the parking. you know, are we going to make all that
work? And then maybe we don't anticipate it, but there be a little bit of a switch or a pivot in the use where it may trigger more. And I want to see us get in a point get in a position where your client is we're stuck and you know there's not going to be a whole lot of give when it comes to the parking. So,
>> right. Thank you very much. I'm excited to see what you can come back with. Thank you. Um, so I'll echo uh the other council members up here. Just thank you for uh wanting to invest in the village and thank you for the thorough conceptual
plan and presentation here. I'll call it a preliminary justification letter was so helpful and to have that level of attention and detail this early on is really fantastic and helpful. So, thank you. Um, I do think it's a great use of this site. You know, I'm I'm sure it's
pretty hardressed to find someone who wants to develop on such a skinny piece of property right up against railroad tracks and you have, you know, the free trains and bright line coming through. So, I do think it's it's a great idea and a great use for the site. Um, I'll say the same thing I said to the
previous applicant, uh, with the, you know, the grays and blue and white. So like not against the the architectural style, but again if uh like maybe try to find something just to like a different pop of color or something to make it so it just doesn't look like that the white
white blue grays that we see popping up everywhere. Um you say three buildings. The site plan very much looks like two. Are the are the two of the buildings are they are they sharing a wall or are they going to be is there going to be gap between them at all? Like what does that look like? They're pretty much sharing
sharing the wall there um in the middle of which point but yeah right there where the cursor is. >> So it's really going to look like two buildings not three. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Um I know the ingress egress was
brought up and I know I mean from a a fire access standpoint you guys will work that out with staff so I'm not worried about that. But I do, you know, um the old Dixie Bridge Road is our most dangerous intersection in Dquesta and your Ingress and Egress is pretty close
to that. So I do just there needs to be some consideration there. Like I don't know how people are going to turn if you're going north on Old Dixie, how you're going to turn left into the property. Um again, it's just really close to Bridge Road, which is already such a challenge. we we're working with, you know, the county um and and talks
with them often about any improvements that can be made at that intersection. So, please keep that in mind as you're moving forward. And then, um does the applicant uh own the Jupiter side of this property? >> Yes.
>> Yeah, I did. Congratulations. >> Any plans? Do you know what your plans are for that? If uh Justin, if you want to come up and speak at the podium, that'd be great. >> Thank you. Um, so I'm Justin Angel owner. Um, right now I'm in the works
with uh a purchaser, but if it does fall through and nothing goes through, I'm probably looking at donating it for some type of open buffer for Jupiter. Um, hasn't been fully thought out yet, but that's kind of where we're at. They're a little bit more difficult to work with.
Um, like like we spoke about before, I went and, you know, the place was a mess and I kind of trimmed out all the hedges and they had code enforcement for me trimming the hedges for them. But, um, besides that, um, yeah, right now there's not like a full open concept on
the Jupiter side. Um, and going back to the tenants, I have a local shade guy that's been shade business for about 20 years. um he's looking to take one of the spots and then another spot my wife was going to operate for um a foundation we have for fostering dogs. Um so really
it leaves almost one unit left that we don't really know who's going to be occupying it. Um so that's kind of where I'm at with this site. So um but it is three buildings, 4,500 ft. The reason for the hype is um most subcontractors that have small businesses like to stack
racks of supplies whether it's like shades or um plumbing fixtures and that. So going vertical you can do up to like 22 foot in standard racks and that gives you four shelving. So that was kind of the concept for that. And if someone did have a sprinter van um it the door was
big enough for them to pull it in and have it concealed overnight during non working hours. So that was a concept for that. Okay. >> Okay. Great. Thank you for that additional information. Um, I have no other comments and council is not voting on this tonight, of course, but I will
see if there's any public comment. Mr. Bradford, >> good evening. Thomas Bradford, 44 Chest Trail to Questa. When I looked at the project online, I came up with uh a question and then I have a comment about
this. The question is I couldn't tell whether or not the CBS concrete wall that lines the perimeter of the eastern perimeter of this property. But I can't tell whether they're going to demolish that and have just landscape open space
in that sort of area or are they keeping that CBS wall that has some some trees that are not doing so well in the insetss and some that are doing okay. And then uh my comment is this and I think based on the comments that you
made that you're on board with this and that when you have a difficult piece of land in a jurisdiction it uh in order to generate uh revenue for the government you and other governments and to facilitate economic
activity within the community. it it merits the council and the staff to work with the property owners to make it happen for the benefit of both the owners as well as the community. And so I based on what I heard you say, I thank
you for having that sort of attitude. So thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> Thank you, Tom. >> Thank you, Mr. Bradford. And are you able to answer the question on that existing concrete wall? >> Absolutely. Um, so when I drive it, I've had issues visibility-wise of like
pulling out and the wall is a big deterrent and like it is kind of dangerous. I was going to recommend taking down the wall and I think it would be nicer with having some landscaping buffer. Um, especially shorter so people could see when they're trying to pull out. Um, Old Dixie isn't
like the safest zone especially around the turn more towards the Jupiter side. So, I think taking down the wall would be a benefit. But once again, I was kind of leaving that up to the council and the site plan to see how your thoughts on on taking the wall down. But me personally, I would probably take the
wall down even though a tenant would probably like it better. I think it's safer and probably looks a lot nicer if we do some type of landscape buffer. >> Yes, I I would prefer for the wall >> free. So, I honestly I honestly forgot about that. I try not to look at the
wall. Um, I think there's so many creative landscapes out there that that could totally be I mean I can't do it, but I would more than be welcome to put on a hard hat and boots and a sledgehammer and help you take down that. We can make it an event as a small town. Just
>> cook off anyone that wants to, you know, welcome to >> I personally bring that wall down because the the building is beautiful anyways and then for me that's just going to kill the vibe because it's not a cemetery. >> Yeah. So, and there's not that much availability for green space, so the
wall kind of takes a lot of that hedging and and nice trees that could be there. So, >> agreed, agreed. >> Agreed. >> Thank you. >> Thank you again, and we uh look forward to hopefully seeing you in the future. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> All right. Next agenda item 22. Consider
approval of a Kinley Horn contract to develop a water treatment master plan. >> Good evening, mayor, vice mayor, council members. Allison Felsburg, utilities deputy director. Before you tonight is a work authorization for development of a water treatment master plan with Kimley
Horn and Associates um and an amount not to exceed $121,9152. As discussed at the workshop um last Monday in recent review of our POS results, we will not meet the compliance deadline. Um that's currently in 2029
proposed 2031. um in order to come up with a game plan on how we will meet those compliance requirements. Um Kimley Horn will be working with us to develop that plan. Um and I have Nick Black here tonight with Kimley Horn to go over um just kind of a background of why we're
going to be doing this. Um what the game plan and approach is for the plan and what our um final deliverables and um final result will be that will be presented to the council. Good evening. Nick Black with Killing
Horn for the record. So, um here tonight to talk about the water treatment master plan. Essentially what that is, it's a project that's going to um include collaboration with the village utility staff to develop a plan moving forward to maintain regulatory compliance uh for the her polyfural alkal substances. Try
saying that multiple times fast. Just pas for uh this discussion sake. Um, so working with staff to develop a cost-effective approach moving forward and maintaining regulatory compliance. Um, I think it's important as we go through this to understand that this is
not a problem or an issue that's unique to the village. A lot of other water purveyors and utilities have this PAS challenge and are working towards um implementation programs to maintaining uh compliance and removing PAS from drinking water. Uh tonight the discussion is going to be
we're going to go through the raw water supply to the treatment plant. Uh the different treatment processes that are at the site. Uh we're going to talk a little bit about PAS. Uh provide a little brief summary on the regulations. Discuss the ballfield testing that has been done by staff to date. We'll talk
about the treatment alternatives for PAS that exist out there that other utilities are implementing. And then uh discuss the next steps that the village is is doing moving forward. So the village has two separate well fields that provide water to the water
plant. There's a surficial well field which is characterized as being more shallow. Um it's unconfined which means it's susceptible to contamination. Meaning if something were to be spilled on the surface of the ground, uh that chemical or constituent would find its
way into the groundwater and potentially uh into the source water of the plant. um that surficial aquifer has been the the source water for the vill's water system since the inception of the the water system. So it's in use by not only by the village but a lot of other um
utilities in the area in that wellfield. So it's high in favorable constituents, alkalinity, hardness, but it also has some unfavorable constituents like organics and potential uh contamination such as PAS. That water from the
surficial wellfield, it flows uh to the plant where it's treated through uh filtration and disinfection. That's an example of a surficial well is on the left hand side of that slide. The other treatment process in uh source water plant is through the ford and well
field. Essentially that's a much deeper well case down to 800,200 ft deep. Um it's in a confined aquifer. So that means essentially it's not as susceptible to contamination. There hasn't been any reports of PAS contamination in the Florida in this area of the state that we're we're aware
of. Um the water uh is very uh it's very salty essentially. So it requires a very energyintensive process to treat it and that's why the villages built that RO plant 20 years ago. Um and it's in
what's called an artisian um it has artisian pressure which basically means if you were to open the well at grade uh water would free flow out. So there's a lot of capacity associated with the floor well. So this is a slide that just shows an aerial of the treatment plant. uh you
will see that the rated capacity of the plant is 6.33 million gallons per day or MGD. Um normal production of this facility is around the 3 million gallons per day. So that's important to note that the the water plant doesn't always produce its rated capacity of the
facility. There are 10 surficial aquifer wells and then four floors of aquifer wells that feed each of the respective um plants and the capacities for each treatment process are shown in that that mini diagram. So I mentioned um the RO process is very
energy intensive and what it is it removes all these salts from solution and in doing so it creates a very unstable aggressive uh product wall. uh what what you all do in the village and what a lot of other utilities do that have this RO process is do what's called
a blend of their surficial ground water to help balance out that aggressive nature of that water to provide your customers with um stable drinking water. Currently uh those blend rates range from 7030 70% being RO 30% being surficial to
6040. Um and some other utilities that have this mechanis or the the issue associated with PAS do have to implement um some other measures to stabilize if that surficial aquifer is compromised and that can include chemical stabilization which would be basically
cost in perpetuity associated with buying chemicals. This is a picture of the um the post treatment clear well where essentially the product water blends with the surficial uh filtered ground water. It's disinfected. It's sent to the ground storage tanks and it's uh pumped to your
customers. So we'll talk a little bit about PAS and the regulations pertaining to PAS. So um essentially PAS is referred to uh commonly as the manufactured chemical comes from uh consumer products.
non-stick items, cookware, you name it. Uh it's it's everywhere. It's very pervasive. Um there are firefighting foam is also a contributor to PF PFOS. Uh and essentially it's a very difficult thing to treat because that carbon and
florine bond is so strong it doesn't degrade naturally in the environment. Uh so it requires an intensive treatment process for removal. So PAS is measured in parts per trillion. Just to provide some perspective on how small a part per
trillion is, that's one grain of salt in 10 million gallons of water, 1 in and 16 million miles, one drop of water in 20iz swimming pools. So you can see how small this is at. Just having some perspective as we're looking at some of these
numbers moving forward. Um there are two test methods for for PAS and drinking water. the 533 537 are highly sensitive. Um the prior we'll talk a little bit about the regulations but the prior uh administration administered the national
primary drinking water standards for PAS child line six contain uh six PAS uh constituents um and that has changed since. We'll talk a little bit about that, but there are 29 PAS contaminants that were identified in the um in the UN
unregulated contaminant monitoring role, which essentially every five or so years, the EPA administers a list of contaminants that uh they want utilities to test for. And in doing that, that's kind of like the the pipeline, the beginning of the pipeline towards developing uh drinking water regulations
for specific contaminants. There's thousands of PAS contaminants that have been identified and not all of them are measurable. So as you can tell that that in itself is a very uh indicative uh problem associated with PAS. So um this is a regulatory
timeline. I think uh it's important to note uh the regulatory challenges or the the upcoming regulatory compliance deadline is is a challenge but PAS is nothing new. Uh Teflon's been around since 1930s. Firefighting foam has been
around since the uh 1960s. So for about a hundred years PAS has been introduced in the environment. Uh we mentioned the UCMR in 2016 the EPA uh released a health advisory level of PAS for 70 parts per trillion. Uh fast
forward to 2024, prior uh EPA administration had administered basically um requirements for two PAS constituents and basically this cocktail mixture of four uh different PAS constituents that make up what they call the haz hazard index. Um and as part of
that there was a regulatory uh compliance deadline of 2029. Since that new administration has uh issued a uh press release where essentially they they communicated the intent to roll back the requirement on the hazard index uh and also push back the compliance
deadline for PAS knowing that this is somewhat of an unfunded u mandate for all water purveyors to to meet. So, these were the uh primary drinking water uh regulations and as I mentioned that um those four constituents are no
longer going to be considered as part of that and that's just a press release. We're expecting those regulations to be updated soon. So, we'll talk a little bit about the wellfield testing that's been done today. Um so, essentially what I want to communicate on this slide is this is all data that the the village staff had
provided us with. Um and these are uh raw groundwater samples from each of the villages wells that provide water to the water plant. This isn't the water going into um into the distribution system. This is the water coming into the water plant. So I think it's important to make
that distinction. But in a way it does contribute to the final drinking water quality. So it's important to keep that in in mind. And essentially what I want to point out here is that the concentration of PAS FOA range from being below uh the upcoming MCL or
maximum contaminant level all the way to a factor of 11x higher and again keeping in mind that's in parts per trillion. So having that data uh one of the things we wanted to do in coordination with the village was uh review the PAS
concentration. Uh basically develop like a little bit of a math exercise to see how much of PAS was getting making its way to the drinking water. Uh and that's based on how much water an actual surface well can produce. May have not mentioned this earlier but surface wells tend to be lower producers when compared
to the Florida and they're variable in terms of how much they can produce. So just because a well has higher PAS concentration doesn't mean it's contributing to the majority of the PAS. It's kind of like a a mass balance if you will. Um so looking at that evaluating different blend percentages
of the RO product water when compared to the artificial blend water uh determining future regulatory compliance issues uh that might come with those uh different blend rates and then um also evaluating different demand projections. So as part of your your um your water
system, you have a you have demands that are projected out in the future and you know a certain window of growth. So looking at that and co and um coinciding with the treatment process on site. So this is the table that was developed preliminarily
and essentially what you see here is that at a blend percentage of 10% you start to see the exceedence of PFOS the future MCL for PFOS being above the four parts per trillion. Um so the main takeaway out of this is that the blend
rate needs to either be minimized or treatment of the sufficient groundwater needs to happen to maintain regulatory compliance. And even though it sounds like a a simple um task, well just reduce your blend, there's every for every reaction there's a reaction uh in
this case uh could be compromising the stability of the finished water. So it's not just just reduce that and increase the other one. So for surficial treatment or options that are have been implemented in the area as far as the surficial aquifer
there's different treatment options. There's uh iron exchange, selective ion exchange, granular activated carbon, nano filtration, and I can go into more of these as you as you want um if you want to this late in the evening. Uh but essentially what it is, they're all separation process or absorption
process. So we're taking the PAS out of the water, but there is a cost associated with disposal of that. Whether that's incineration of media or it's disposal through a deep injection well that could be a cost perpetuity or a a significant upfront capital cost associated with something like a like a
deep injection well. Another thing we um that's going to be looked at as part of this evaluation is uh shifting capacity from the surficial to the Florida. And I mentioned earlier that that uh that reduction blend does provide um it it provides a benefit in
terms of reducing the overall PAS in the water but what it doesn't do it doesn't contribute to the good minerals that we want of finished water the hardness the alkalinity and those constituents. So there's going to be an evaluation in terms of what infrastructure would be needed to support uh stabilizing the
finished drinking water. So this slide is intended to just go through the village's ongoing efforts. Um Allison had mentioned the current energy improvements project, the water plant improvements project. There'll be um electrical upgrades that are needed
to support the RO plant moving forward. There's a membrane replacement project for the RO facility and I believe those membranes are 15 20 years old. So typical lifespan for those are 8 to 10. So they've gotten good life out of those. It's just a maintenance thing that needs to happen over time. There's
the filter uh vessel rehab project that Allison had also mentioned which is needed to be able to maintain use of the existing surficial wells uh that might not have as high PAS concentration but actually have higher things like iron uh that do need to be treated and that's the reason for those that treatment
infrastructure there. uh the RO concentrate permit renewal um which is essentially an operating permit to be able to discharge concentrated ground water for an oifer surficial well 28 and then a development of an operational matrix for the well field for and
looking at those peak fast concentration try to mitigate that so as part of this project the water treatment master plan we're going to evaluate all the raw raw water sources capacities uh look at the Florida surficial evaluate different treatment alternatives it is that could be
implemented looking at cost cost um analysis operating costs uh capital costs doing evaluation there we're going to look at evaluating uh shifting capacity from the surficial to the Florida which a lot of other utilities in the area have have taken steps
towards um so in doing that evaluation determine cost effective approach and collaborating with the village to develop that plan um and then uh as part of that plan looking at an implementation schedule because as we We don't snap our fingers and things get built immediately. Uh there takes a lot
of planning. Um projects that set up the next project that set up the next one for um charting that path for regulatory compliance and all while doing this work looking at funding options to be able to to construct the improvements.
So with that, I'll thank you for your time and available for any questions. >> Thank you. Alison, do you have anything to add? Nope. Uh, not specifically. I think Nick did a great job of going over some of that information. One thing I do want to
point out is that it's just important, I think I mentioned this at the workshop, but to take a really good holistic view at what our approach will be to solve this issue. um because it's not just a simple this will work so let's do that because there's a lot of implications to a lot of the decisions with regulatory
compliance um with a lot of these other components um financial impacts uh like Nick was mentioning our demand in the future just taking into account all of these different components and making sure we're really looking at it from a holistic view >> thank you all right council I'll open it
up to >> just have one question you water is public safety um do you both believe we're doing all we can to get in front of this and and have a good plan >> 100%. Um I think that right now um even
in the interim steps we're looking to do as much as we can to reduce the concentration of PAS even though it's not required at this time. Um we are also working with the um PAS settlement for the 3M Dupont settlement and the Tao BASF settlement. So we're looking at
funding through that as well to see what we can do to mitigate any current concentrations of PAS and then obviously we're working as quickly as possible to get solutions and implement those in a timely manner to make sure we meet those deadlines. >> Thank you.
>> Um I have a question for you sir. >> Sure. >> You must really like math. >> I just want to point out that math equation that was up there. I do not wish that on anybody. >> That's the EPA. That's not >> all that engineering you guys do. So, thank you guys for looking into that.
Um, like he said, public safety, water goes hand in hand with me cuz you put it in your body and we've all seen what happens to people when you don't get the cleanest water we can provide. And I know our residents hold us to a high standard to make sure we're doing our best. So, let us know what we need to
do. >> Thank you. >> Yeah, I'll just second that. Um I I mean it's great to see that we're doing everything we're we're getting ahead of it and doing everything we can right now, but this is it's a important topic. Thank you.
>> Yeah, great job. I never thought that I would learn anything about in my lifetime PAS, but I've learned more in three years about PAS than I never thought I would ever learn. So, uh thank you for what you're doing and the assistance you're doing. The village and Allison, great job. >> I just have a couple questions and clearly I'm not the expert at this so
some of them might seem naive. Um, but in the in the staff memo, you know, you do talk about just eliminating our essay use as an option, right? You're going to analyze all the options. Just my thought off the top of my head, again, not being
educated in this field, I know with any type of utility, having redundancy is really important, especially when it's a public safety matter, being able to provide water. So when you are considering those like if we if we were to lean towards the option of you know just coming off the SA like is that
going to affect our redundancy in the future and having that backup should we ever need it in case of an emergency. So just keep that in mind. I'm sure you will you guys are the experts but that just at a high level that was what popped into my head right away. Um you mentioned if we do uh the PAS dis the
discharge you said you mentioned a deep injection. Well, can you explain that? >> Yeah. You want me to? Okay. So, essentially, um, you all you all had the RO plant that has an outfall, right, to surface water and that's all it's all brine. It's concentrated salt water
essentially. So, it's going to a place that's of similar quality and um and that's been been permitted through the department. Once we're talking about a different aquifer that has a different constituents and some of which is contamination, that type of outfall does not exist for the nano process which
essentially is the same process as RORO. It's just essentially think of it as a looser membrane. So there's there's um less rejection associated with it because you're reduc you're you're you're removing dials instead of monalent ions. I'll tell you
about that later if you want. >> Yes, please. pressure process the membrane softening process. I don't know how to answer it without being technical, but that's what that's what it is. >> So you're so so you're taking the PAC discharge from the filtration system and
injecting a deep in maybe I'm totally misunderstanding. It seems odd to me if you're taking something like we're so concerned about something that's bad for the environment and bad for human consumption, but then you're going to inject it back into. So, so the anticipation and trying to be
unbiased when looking at this um if we did go to a full RORO facility, there's no PAS in the Florida aquifer. It's been tested in multiple places throughout the Florida aquifer and we haven't seen it detected yet. So we don't anticipate that there is any PAS in the Florida.
>> No, I got that. Maybe my question maybe I misunderstood what you said is if we if we keep the essay and there's options to filter the PAS out of the essay, you have that discharge. Yes. I thought you mentioned there was like two different discharge options and one was deep
injection. Well, that's what caught my attention like so you were taking PAS and injecting it back into the environment. Is that totally understandable? No, that's that's that's accurate. And essentially a lot of other utilities are doing that, but those deep injection wells are about 4,000 5,000 ft
below land surface and they're in the molder zone. And a hydro geologist can explain that much better than I can, but it's it's kind of like the thought process of, >> you know, out of sight and um no concern of uh potential contamination of aquifers that are above it. The other
treatment processes that we talk about more absorption processes is carbon and uh ion exchange and essentially what that requires is an incineration process and it requires a special facility that incinerates it up to a temperature that's high enough to destroy that PAS.
So, and it's up for debate with all these contaminants that are um that are known that some of which can't be uh detected uh how how high that temperature needs to go for all those those contaminants to be destroyed. >> Uh so, it's a very complicated issue and
that that is a cost. You buy the resin to load the vessel, you have to pay for the resin, but on the next cycle after that resin is exhausted, uh you'll have to pay for the disposal of that resin and purchase of new resin. So that's going to be a cost in perpetuity if that were an option similar to granular
activated carbon. And the other alternative we talked about was the um nano filtration membrane softening uh and disposal through a deep injection well. So >> okay, thank you for Yes. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear with my from the start, but that does I guess you said 4,000. I mean
that's really deep, but still it does seem odd. We're taking something out of the environment and just put it right back in no matter how deep it is. But again, not the expert here. >> All those things will be considered the environmental possibility in the future. There are regulations that were proposed
related to PAS and deep injection wells, but the amount of PAS that you would have to inject on a daily basis would be astronomical to meet those limitations for a drinking water plant. Um, but those possible future regulatory impacts will also be considered when looking at these different solutions that we'll
evaluate. >> Okay. And then I know um I asked you this question at the workshop. So on our consent agenda, we approved a SEI services uh agreement for your firm for the replacement of the filtration system
for the SA water. So I I hope I'm sure you are looking in. I know you said probably by the time we get to a place where we have to make these adjustments, those might be at the end of their useful life, but anywhere, you know, immediate need, anything we're actively working on right now that you
could give input on if you need to pivot, I want to be as efficient as possible with our water user fees. Um, obviously this is a a big uh it's a big setback, right, to have this pop up and knowing that we're going to have to deal with this now. So, I just, you know, we
we had a lot of discussion up here and it was hard to raise our water fees and have that $10 capital recovery charge. Um, you guys are taking the right steps. Um, but if there's any efficiencies and we need to do immediate pivots to maybe
um, save some money in the long run. I would really appreciate that being brought to us. >> Yes. After after the workshop, um, I did go in and do do some deep diving into some of the current projects. Um, I had some some assistance and some review with that as well. And I'm I'm hoping at
the next council meeting I can bring more information about that. Um, some of it does pertain to to the uh project that's out to bid right now and some other projects that are underway and in certain phases um within work. So, I didn't want to um give that information yet, but I should have more information for you at the next council meeting regarding that.
>> Fantastic. Thank you. And then I I have more of a question for Keith. My final question. Um, I know we joined that PAS lawsuit. We haven't heard anything and that was quite some time ago that we joined that. Any any update there? And I know you said you're looking at some settlements
and I mean, but with the lawsuit we specifically joined. >> So, what's going on? >> A little bit of background. 1998 2000 is when these big class action lawsuits were started. Um,
these take a long time. Fast forward to like 2023, settlement agreements were announced. And these are settlement agreements in the tens of billions of dollars with with like 3M um,
forget, Tao, >> 3M and Dupont have one and then Tao BS. So around that period of time that that is when uh the village uh we retained um
Enur law and they're a basically a mass tor complex litigation group that is is representing lots of clients in terms of uh excuse
me. So there's public water system clients uh which is what we're talking about. There are groundwater contamination clients and then there are individual personal injury clients. So we're a
public water system client and Ventura Law is representing us. Um we we the village is a phase two public water system which means that we got involved after that there's a 2023 date
which is when the big settlement was announced. We came in after that. So we're considered a phase 2 public water system client. Um the current deadline for phase 2 claims
is I believe July of next year and after that presumably before that the phase one water system providers are are are dealt with and then people like us phase
2 clients will will you know be dealt with. We have submitted test results to our to the Ventura Law team. Um I can't speak to the substance of what those test results are, but but they
have them are our So, you know, we're in that right now. Now, I guess the the the answer to your question is next summer is when we should expect to start getting some more answers on on
what we may >> She's she's talked to them recently. So, she can give an update, >> right? >> Sorry. I just had a meeting with them yesterday. Um and I'm I sent an email that to them this morning just kind of recapping our meeting and I'm waiting to just get confirmation on what I believe
the status is before I send that to Jeremy. Um, but from my understanding, so the 3M DuPont settlement, there is the phase one and phase two. Like Keith had stated, we were too late to get into the phase one, but we are in the phase two. Um, and the deadline for that is July of next year. Um, and there is
opportunity to still submit for possible reimbursement for at least percentages of costs currently that we're incurring. Um, and with both the phase 1 and phase 2 in each 3M Dupont Tao BASF settlement, um, there's what's called an action fund
and then a special needs fund. So the special needs fund is related to testing. So we just finished that with the Tao BASF and don't quote me on the number, but we're getting roughly $26,000 from that. Um, and then for 3M Dupont, we are entering the phase 2
claim for that. Um, and that is July. will be submitting reimbursement for possible costs related to well 28 test well drilling. I don't think we'll get to the actual well 28 construction by that point in time. But um I did message our contractor related to that to see what the timeline is for the test well
and hopefully at least get design of the well um under that cost incursion and that would be roughly 5% of that cost that we would be able to recoup. Um, they also are allowing us to enter the phase 2 for the Tao BASF and we can also
submit more testing that has to be done by December of 31st of this year. So, we are looking at going back and retesting all of our wells again just to make sure we have updated concentrations on each of those wells. Um, but like I said, this was just my interpretation of the meeting that we had with our lawyers.
Um, but as soon as I get a confirmation back from that email, I'll send it to Jeremy for him to communicate. >> Okay. Thank you so much. >> Update both of the you. >> All right. Any other council comment or questions? >> No. >> No. >> Any public comment?
>> No. All right. Is there a motion >> to approve? >> So moved. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I >> I. >> Thank you for your time tonight. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Agenda item 23, consider approval of a new Chevy truck for the utilities
department. >> Good evening, mayor, vice mayor, council members. Allison Felsburg, utilities deputy director. Before you tonight is approval for a new truck to replace one of our distribution trucks. The truck being replaced is a 2014 Ford F-150 and it will be replaced with a um Chevy
Silverado. Um the reason this is on as a new agenda item tonight is because we had budgeted $40,000 for this truck. The cost of it came in at $423925. $42,3925, which is $2,000, $2,40 over budget. Um,
for this, we did have another project to replace the roll-up doors at our Bridge Road property, and that came in under budget. So, we are suggesting to um use the extra funds from that project to fund the replacement of this truck to be
able to buy the Chevy Silverado. >> Thank you, council. Any comments or questions? >> I'm just thank you for being budget conscious and I still say got to figure out how to get on that vehicle plan. We're getting cars for $42,000. >> I know, right? Can I get one of those?
>> Doesn't exist in our world. >> I got some teenagers coming up. I got to get some cars. >> Public comment. All right. Can I get a motion to approve? >> So moved. >> Second. All in favor? >> I. >> Right. Agenda item 24, ordinance number
12-25, first reading. It is to process reasonable accommodations for certified recovery residents and this is uh a result of a state preeemption from last year. >> So, uh I'll read the title and then I'll give you some um background on this. Uh
this is ordinance 1225 ordinance of the village castle village of the quest of Florida amending chapter 22 community development to create an entirely new article entitled article 3 reasonable accommodations codify the village's existing process for processing reasonable accommodation
requests in housing including requests from certified recovery residences as required by Florida statute 397487 repealing prior resolution 518 prov provided each unavail section subsection chapter 22 shall remain in full force
and effect as previously adopted providing conflicts clause severability clause authority to codify effective date and for other purposes. So back in 2018 the village adopted a reasonable accommodation policy process and that was by
resolution uh 518. So, a a reasonable accommodation request is uh something that is um established through the Fair Housing Act and the
Americans with Disabilities Act. And what it is is is a method for uh somebody with a disability who need who who requires
something that is contrary to a local government's land development or zoning regulations. Uh to be able to um have a have a an exception to that
regulation that allows them um despite their disability to enjoy housing the same way that people without disabilities can enjoy housing. Um, a an example might be uh somebody with a
physical disability that requires some type of a ramp or other thing that your zoning code might not allow. Uh, other examples might be somebody um that lives in a single family district that doesn't
allow certain types of non-domemestic animals and they have uh, you know, Best example I can think of because I've had to do this as a hearing officer in Martin County. You know, well, I have an emotional support potbellied pig and
your code doesn't allow people to have that animal, so I'm asking for a reasonable accommodation to um let me have that animal. Um I I've seen way worse than that, like chickens and goats, but
>> goat truly. Uh so that's what a a reasonable accommodation is. And then there's a process uh that allows a uh that request to be processed and as long as it meets certain fairly easy to meet criteria,
then the reasonable accommodation is granted and the person is allowed to occupy housing even though that uh with their with their accommodation even though it's contrary to the jurisdictions's um code. The the other um typical request for a
reasonable accommodation uh occurs when when um a a residence provider wants to have housing uh for people in recovery from substance abuse. So, recovering
uh substance abuse, um someone recovering from alcoholism or or drug addiction is considered somebody with a disability. Um not an active user, but somebody in recovery is under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Fair
Housing Act is considered somebody with a disability. The most common in my experience scenario uh is somebody so somebody wants to uh
provide housing for a group of people with that disability. the the best practice will tell you that that people in recovery uh
show uh are better served when they're in a group setting. So typically and in Tquesta uh there will be a you'll have a definition for the the term family which includes
um a limit on the number of unrelated people that can live together as the functional equivalent uh of of a related group of people. It might be three, it might be four, it might be whatever it is that that number exists as your
definition for family. uh the recovery residence scenario will always be more than two or three or four. It's typically six or seven uh or you know
whatever the number is up to what what the building you the building has housing limitations. You can only hold so many warm bodies whether they're disabled or not. So, but that number will typically exceed your your definition for family in terms of
unrelated people. So, a reasonable accommodation will be requested to, you know, I want to have six people that are unrelated. They're they're disabled in terms of being recovering substance abusers. Um, so which is contrary to
your code, but but we want that reasonable accommodation to be honored. So that that's a typical um reasonable accommodation request. As well as I said in 2018 the village adopted a reasonable
accommodation process which is pretty much is handled at the uh staff level. Uh request is made. You know the the manager or designate working with the attorney reviews the request makes a determination as to whether or not the
criteria are met. uh you know it it can't be a an excessive financial burden on the village. It can't fundamentally alter the village's zoning scheme if either of those things happen and it's not reasonable.
Um, so last year in the legislature that that a bill was passed into law that says all local governments have to have in their code this process and
specifically as to apply to a certified recovery residence which certified means um it's certified by the Florida Association of recovery residences and it meets certain criteria.
Uh both the facility and the manager uh meet that criteria. So you our resolution pretty much captured that. We already had it by resolution. What's before you tonight is
moving that resolution into the code and specifically saying that it applies to certified recovery residences. It didn't used to say that, but by its own terms, it it would have applied anyway. So, that's
what's really before you. It it it's a long explanation for saying we took the resolution, put it in the code, and added clarified that it applies to certified recovery residences. The legislation, the statute that was passed
uh requires this to be done by the end of the year or by January 1st. So, and first reading would be tonight. Second reading would be in December. You'd be in compliance with that statutory uh deadline. That that's what this is
all about. That's what it uh it'll bring you into conformance with the statute. I can say that I'm not aware of any requests for reasonable accommodation that have ever been made into since I've been um working here.
which isn't to say it can't happen in the future, but um whether it's for a certified recovery residence or an emotional support animal or accessibility elevator or ramp, that's what this does and that's u
that's why we're here tonight. >> Thank you, Keith, for explaining the why behind this ordinance. Council, do you have any comments or questions? >> Is there a reason why the state did that? like is there an issue with them? >> Not with the state. We all know that answer.
>> Um because I'm very familiar with the one type of recovery residences. >> Um cuz I've lived near them. >> I suppose that the uh I suppose that there is background in the legislative history
and and the staff reports that that were circulated when the bill was was adopted. But uh I don't have those in front of me that why do they do half the things? >> Curious if it was like a mega problem. All right. >> I have a few comments but I think
questions now for clarification. Uh my initial is I'm 100% against this and would rather delay it um for further evaluation. But you're telling me we have to file this by January 1st. Well the statute that's what the statute says.
and and remember you've already got this policy by resolution. This is not this is not a new substantive change to to what we do inquest simply moving the policy that the council adopted by resolution
putting it in the code and saying yes this applies to certified recovery residences it it does anyway. Um, so if somebody was to come in today before this is in the code and ask for that reasonable accommodation, the policy is
already in place and we would we would we would implement it. This is simply putting it in your code book >> and and I guess I just want to be clear, can we leave it as is and be in compliance with the state how we have it written right now? because I think when
you say streamline and to me streamline just means making it easier. Um, and I can follow up with additional comments, but my intent is to not make this easier. And so I guess it goes back to the original question. Do do we have are we required to change anything that we
currently have by the state or if we left it as is, we would still be in compliance. >> In my opinion, what's before you complies with the statute. Okay? because the statute is about reasonable accommodations for certified recovery
residences. So, and that keeps us clear from the state. Okay. So then I guess my second question is the current bills that out that's out there for certified recovery residents right now it's going to the state is this different because they're changing
it's a current bill that's not passed yet and they're wanting to streamline all the cities and it changes the definitions of single family home and many other things to streamline where basically just like anything else it erodess our home rule again and it
treats us the same as Miami and I can elaborate on those points, but I am drawing or I'm having trouble understanding the if these are two different bills. Well, the bill I'm talking about was from last year, right? This is whatever is happening this year,
we will deal with after the session is over and whatever gets through and signed into law, we we will deal with. But this this is a a requirement from last year. >> Okay.
So, we're voting on this just more of a process, not that we necessarily have a choice. >> Yes, >> understand. Okay. Thank you. >> I don't have any questions. >> I don't really No questions. I just I'm with Mr. French. I don't really love it.
My favorite thing >> do the recovery residents just a question. Do the recovery residents they fall way I read our code is that they fall into the special exception use for group homes or is it are they specifically identified or they is this
considered a group home? >> I I would say certified recovery residence could be a type of group home. A group home can be um all sorts of different things. It can be
a a residence for unrelated people in recovery. It could be you could have a group home um or any other kind of disability. You could have a group home for um orphan children. You could have a group home
for elderly, homeless people. You can have a a group home can be for any. This this is for people in recovery from substances >> versus mentally disabled or physically disabled. When I think of a traditional group home, that's what I think of. >> Yeah, you a group home can be is can be
for any group of people who are unrelated. I think it has to be seven or more to qualify as a by definition a group home. But but yeah, group home can be >> and our code allows these recovery residences and R1 are residential.
>> Correct. >> Are we required to allow that? >> If you want to be in compliance with the federal fair housing act and Americans with Disabilities Act, >> answers my question. Okay. Um, and do we have any recovery residences in
residential neighborhoods at this point? >> Do are you asking? >> Do we know? I don't know. >> Single families or >> single and a single family res. >> I'm not aware of any inquest. Okay. >> Which doesn't mean there might not be one, but I'm not aware of it. If there is, >> they would have to be register. They'd
have to have a BTR and >> correct. >> We think there's some type of protection that we would be notified >> cuz they could just be living there and not registered. They could be certified or registered with the state, but might just come in and just look like a bunch
of people in there. Well, they wouldn't have to go through any process if they met all of our definitions. So, if you had only two unrelated people
and that's all they had technically, then no, they wouldn't have to go through any process. But, uh, you know, that model doesn't work. So, I I would find it extremely unlikely the the more likely scenario is that
somebody wanted to come in um they would their model would require more than more unrelated people to reside in that residence than our code allows and then they would have to go through this process and we would know about it. If
they snuck it in uh and are flying under the radar and and nobody knows about it, I mean we we would have to learn about it. Yeah, again, I'm not aware of of >> anybody ever making a complaint that that, you know, my neighbors are doing
this or or or anything of the sort. >> I just would hope that we would be able to identify that type of residence in a residential neighborhood with young. Typically there are telltale signs, you know, because the the people who are in
these types of residential scenarios um are getting treatment somewhere else offsite. So typically what h what you see is that there will
be some type of transportation that that arrives early in the morning and picks everybody up, takes them wherever they take them and brings them back at the end of the day uh after their the from the treatment facility. That that that's
typically what you see. Um, and >> so I I you know, so when that happens, again, typically somebody will complain about that or comment and and reach out to code enforcement or the village manager's office or whomever. But again, in Tqua, I'm not aware of
of that. >> Vice Mayor, can I piggyback a question on what you just asked? >> Sure. >> So, what about town houses that are a little more east in Tqua? >> Single family, multifamily. it it doesn't matter. >> They would still have to go through the
process and whatever number of people that it can hold is what it can hold and whatever they're requesting is what they're requesting and we would process the request. Um but again, I I've heard of of none. And
I would imagine that my last point is kind of moot because if they're doing a reasonable accommodation request, it's they're already here and living in that. But it looks like that there's there's grade language sufficient that that it
can be denied if it's not reasonable or imposes undue financial administrative burdens on the village or requires a fundamental alteration to the village's zoning scheme. I mean, so there's sounds like there's denying the accom reasonable accommodation requests is really a belts
and suspenders approach because that recovery residents is already here, I would imagine, and they're now asking for some type of accommodation for a ramp or any service service horse or something like that. Well, we can say it's so far outside of
our scope of of our current zoning scheme that it could technically deny it. Correct. >> Those those are the and that language comes from from court proceedings from court cases. The the fundamental
alteration to the zoning scheme of financial burden that that comes from judicial proceedings. Um, >> so I mean we would have to have evidence to hang our hat on and then you know if
it's denied there's an appeal process. If it's denied at the staff level it would go to a magistrate. If it's denied at the magistrate then they can appeal to the circuit court. Um but those are the those are the
standards that the courts also will use in evaluating a denial. So, you know, it's like any other court's eye judicial proceeding. There has to be evidence that we can point to to justify the denial uh the record.
>> Okay. All right. Thank you. >> I have no comment. Is there any public comment? All >> right. Is there a motion? >> Some moved. >> Second. >> A motion to approve. >> Motion to approve. >> Second. >> Yes. Second.
>> All in favor? I. >> Moving on. Agenda item 25, resolution 22-2, which is a budget amendment to our previous fiscal year budget. >> Now we're getting to the good stuff. >> Yeah.
>> Uh this is for the village hall annex that they're building and remembrance park. Uh most of the cost to this is running uh cable, Mr. Gonberg and cameras and putting cameras up. So that's most of the cost. There's some
other ancillary, but uh there's 53,000 coming out of the general fund. There's 67,000 coming out of the building fund and there is 53,000 coming out of the special law enforcement fund to to pull
this together. >> Thank you. Council, any comments or questions for Jeff? >> For me? >> No, ma'am. I have none. >> All right. Any public comment? >> There a motion to approve. >> So move. >> Second. >> All in favor?
>> I >> I. >> And item 26 resolution number 23-25 for some amendments to our capital asset policy. >> Yes ma'am. Uh OM the office of management and budget at the federal level. Change your uniform guidance.
Uniform guidance basically tells us what we have to do to spend federal money. uh they're trying to make it a little easier to get through the process and get it done. They gave us the opportunity to increase equipment and uh other assets, machinery to from 5,000 to
10,000 which is in line with their policy. Then I'm taking in the opportunity to uh use industry best practice and get buildings and improvements up from 25,000 to 50,000 for capital asseting and infrastructure
which are bridges and roads from 25,000 to 75,000 and that just gives us a little less accounting dancing to do not get rid of our assets until we use them up. um that you know for instance 12-year cars uh that's a good long time
to have a car and that's that's the way we look at it. So we try to use it use it and then get rid of it for basically scrap. So that's I'm asking you to approve that. It's the only change in this. >> Great. Thank you council. Any comments or questions?
>> Yep. >> Any public comment? Nope. Is there a motion to approve? >> So moved. >> Second. >> Favor. I >> thank you. >> Thank you, Jeff. >> Agenda item 27, consider approval of
purchasing two new Pelo Alto firewalls. Brad, >> good evening, council. Uh Keith, it's been a long time. >> Thank God. >> Uh yeah, so uh our our current firewall solution um has been around since uh
early 2019. Um, PaloAlto is uh phasing the chassis out and it's time to replace the hardware. Um, this also includes our annual uh services renewal. Um, it's uh typical life cycle. Uh, so we've gotten some good use out of them. They're
they're end of life in the the chassis. So, uh we're we're um doing this uh uh as a uh proactive measure so that um replace them before they go end of life and um we can continue services.
>> Great. Thank you. Any questions or comments for Brad? >> Thank you. >> No. Any public comment? >> Is there a motion to approve? >> So moved. >> Second. >> All in favor? I >> Thank you, Brad. Thank you.
>> Agenda item 28, consider a replacement of multiple vehicles uh for the public works department. >> Good evening, Mayor Council. Doug Chambers, public works. This agenda item is the request to replace four of our
oldest vehicles in our fleet. Uh three of them are in the public works department and then one is the 2017 Ford Explorer from the building department that will actually transfer to the police department and then we'll replace the 2011 Ford Focus which is the
citizens on patrol vehicle and the reason the building department is replacing that they need more of a robust vehicle for storm and flood responses. Um, in the public works department, we are purchasing replacing F-150 for 2026 F-150. Uh, another F-150.
Uh, we're replacing that with an F250 utility truck. And then we are also replacing a Chevy Impala with a Ford Maverick. Uh, funding is approved in the 2026 budget. Uh, pricing is uh, from the Florida
Sheriff's Association contract. It's uh almost a 30% discount off of retail pricing. That's what the government entities receive and that's where we typically purchase our vehicles from. We will surplus uh the three public works vehicles and then the citizens on patrol
vehicle once we receive >> no any public comment. All right. Is there a motion to approve? >> So moved. >> Second. >> All in favor? I >> I thank you. >> Agenda item 29, consider approval of a
uh fire rescue replacement, a big vehicle replacement. >> So, I can lead off with this item. This item is to seek approval for the purchase of a new rescue apparatus for fire department. The current vehicle is a reserve vehicle from 2010. Typically, these vehicles have a useful life of 15 years. Maintenance, reliability,
downtime, continuity with our current frontline rescue were all considered when making this request. Pricing for this vehicle is based off the Florida Sheriff's contract bid. We are expecting an estimated 2-year lead time for our build time for this vehicle. This
vehicle is estimated uh was established in the vehicle replacement fund for large vehicles. Um within our vehicle our vehicle replacement fund we have different you know different funds but then we also within the general fund we have large vehicles versus uh our other
vehicles. This one is considered um and so with that I know we've talked about this many times over the years. With that we ask for approval so we can get this build u beginning and uh hopefully receive it in the next few years. So >> thank you very much. Do
>> you have anything to add? Um, uh, it's just time. You know, it's 15 years old and, um, I appreciate, uh, Mr. Allen's help and, uh, Mr. Snder who left. Jeff has helped me with it. And then our apparatus committee, um, got this across
the finish line. Um, we did a lot of work recently to get it down. The prices are I'm in the wrong business. I should be building firet trucks and rescues, honestly. Um but uh they did a lot of work and we got it into a reasonable price range and it'll serve the citizens
well for many years to come. >> Y any comments or questions for the chief? >> Great job keeping that alive for 15 years. That's impressive. >> Yeah, it's and it's on life support. I'm not going to lie to you. So it's it's uh it's definitely uh been through its paces, but uh
>> all I can say is I've written in the current one and I hope to not ride in the new one. >> Agreed. Agreed. >> Yeah. No, great job. And again, um, working on the scope and costs. I know, uh, I used to ask Jeremy all the time because Chief TR had this vehicle
replacement on his standard report every single month. So, I'm sure he's going to be happy to know that it finally got approved. But, I do know staff's intention was to kind of get the vehicle replacement spread out a little bit because we were going to see a lot of
compression. We just bought a ladder, truck, an engine. if we were to buy that rescue right away, like all of those would have to be replaced at the same time. So, it is fiscally responsible to spread those out. So, thank you for staff being on top of that and your patients and I'm very excited to see this uh move forward now.
>> It was a it was a full learning process for me. Um I used to ride those trucks and it was why can't they just buy a new one? It's not that easy. Now, I'm learning that it definitely is not that easy. So, uh it was an interesting process and I'm looking forward to the next one. I hope it's a few years away,
but uh I appreciate all that. I didn't do it. Did not do it alone until your troop started and then we got it across the finish line. So, >> got it across the finish line. Great job. >> To your point, I saw Chief Troop on Saturday. Chilly took off and he asked me about [Applause] every month. What are we doing?
>> In Mr. Defense, in my second month here, he said, "Please take the rescue off the agenda. We don't want to hear about anything in October." So, that is actual that it was a conversation we had. So, >> it is time. So this is good. Yes. All right. Any public comments? No. All
right. Is there a motion to approve? So moved. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> Thank you, Chief. >> Thank you so much, everybody. >> Our final agenda item tonight, agenda item 30, resolution 24-25,
which is um our legislative platform. I Keith or Jeremy will give a little spiel, but I just want to say too, we we wanted to bring this in November. We ended up in a disadvantage when it's early session because we know uh Palm
Beach County Legacies, we finished our our platform, but FLC is not done. Those of us in committees know, but if we don't um council have consensus on what to advocate for now, we're missing out on committee week. So, um, we're
bringing this forward knowing that we might update it in December if there's changes with either leagues, anything we personally see, but we we want to be able to start advocating during these committee weeks or else we're going to be behind. So, that's that's why I wanted to bring it forward now. And then
Heath or Jeremy, do either of you have anything to add? Just um high level, this tracks the um legislative priorities adopted by the Florida League of Cities legislative policy committees
and then it also uh attaches as an exhibit the Palm Beach County League of Cities legislative priority uh statement and supports that as well. uh it it is written
uh with intentionally at a higher level and as opposed to drilling down into detail to allow some flexibility. Uh it really captures the in but it captures the the legislative priorities
that both state and local league of cities have adopted at this point and and and uh supports those. >> Okay, Jeremy, anything else? Uh the only other one I think the council supported uh the exemption for clerks um which
wasn't necessarily a priority issue for Florida League cities, but uh I think there's some items within Florida League cities that didn't necessarily come out as priority issues that uh the way that this is written, we'll still be able to support or pose some legislation depending on how that comes forward and
what Florida League of Cities stance is on or Palm Beach County League of Cities if they take a stand that uh I think the way this is written and it gives us some flexibility obviously protecting home rule and the one water you know initiatives things like that. So I think
it was uh well written so we have some flexibility in that for for our staff. I think the clerk one uh the clerk exemption to the council we brought that up uh a month or so ago or or at some point so we will make sure that that is
memorialized in there if we could. >> So we so the motion would be to add that cuz it's not on here. Correct. Right. >> And >> I think we're still safe the way it's written, but I think since council did take that um did specifically um take that stance, I think we should put it in
here. >> And I know the the ebikes and electric vehicles. Um that is not from either of the leagues. Our lobbyist is tracking. There's already been some bills filed on that and that's important to us. It's one of our strategic plans. So that's why we added that on to there. And the
only other thing that's not on here, Palm Beach County Legacies will be adding it to our platform is um I know that you guys received a copy of the league's letter of opposition of a local fire bill from county fire that has to
do with uh MSTUS and what happens at MSTU when a municipality annexes property. Um the way it's written is that the uh county fire would still receive that payment even if it's annexed into a municipality that has
their own fire and um they would still provide service unless there was some mutual aid agreement. um the league's position. It was interesting because our board's made up of um representatives from cities that have their own and fire and some that are county fire. But it
was unanimous approval from the board opposition based on the fact that it's a clear violation of home rule like blatant you know uh attack on home rule and then also on the fact that um it was we it was not brought to us. We were not
at the table for discussion. and they didn't consider the municipalities in um creating that bill. So the stance with the league was really um let's pause this for this session. Let's work together and come up with language that works for everyone and then move it
forward in the next session. So um that's where the conversation was with the league and we'll add it. And I know um cities are adopting resolutions one way or the other. So I did want to um get our council's temperature to see what you guys think. I know you guys
were there. There was a third revision to the bill that was announced. I haven't seen it. I don't think Jeremy's seen it yet. Keith hasn't seen it. So, it's very it's like this right now. So, it's like, do we wait and see where it lands before we take a position? Do we agree with the league's position just on
the principle that it's an attack on home role and we would like to be part of the discussion and come up with something collaboratively together? Um, so what does council think on that? A few comments on the first is that the way it's writt
ordinance is written. I didn't see actually I'll take it back. The clerk's uh bill it was top three voted in. It would have been top two but Florida open carry got added in last minute and that was obviously very popular. So it'll be interesting to see where the clerk's
exemption ends up uh because the committee has a large amount of clerks on the committee. So it will be interesting where that goes. I think sovereign immunity still takes number one. Number two, we'll we'll have to see between open carry and um uh clerk's
exemption. The other part on here, and I didn't see it in there, I do want to uh make sure lobbyist keeps an eye out where I'd be against it calls it community residences, recovery communities, and congregate living facilities. And this is an additional bill that streamlines uh more codes
within all municipalities. And so this is what I was kind of speaking to earlier where I was confused because the language is similar. It goes in and it um I guess right codify but it's it streamlines all cities to be the same
language for all these type of living facilities and residences. And so I think for us um it's weird cuz it's from the Florida League so it seems like an attack on home rule Florida league was supporting it. So, I was very confused on this because it would apply to all
cities. And so, I would say that we should be against this um as we're monitoring and see where it goes. It might not go anywhere, but for our lobbyists to to monitor uh on the MSTU, I think that um everyone made some great points today and you just made a great point. I would recommend the council
remains neutral on it. Uh not uh follow the Palm Beach County league. I think Palm Beach County has been great partners with us over the years and continues to be. um we really can't operate full public safety or or fire without them. And we we get a high level of training, apparatus, maintenance, and
many other items from them. So, I'm I'm going to be neutral on that. U not for or against because I do think they've been good long-term partners. >> Hi. >> Hi. Any other council comments? >> Um regarding the last one you brought up
with the county fire, I am kind of neutral on it. um because it's been tweaked a little bit here and there and I've been reading different things and it depends on who's explaining it to me the way that I get a explanation and I have yet to have a solid this is what it
is. Um and it's like this right now. >> Yeah. And I don't like that because I feel like that's incredibly unfair to residents in general all over. Um so I need to see where they're going with it. I don't love the approach. I don't love the vibe it has right now. I mean I fully support firefighters in the
county. I I think they could do a better job at the way they're doing this, but I know it's the union pushing it. So, I can't really give a temperature just yet. I'm kind of in the middle because one day I'm up here and the other one I'm like, and it really depends on where I'm getting the information. But right
now, my information comes from solid sources like attorneys and other politicians and and firefighters. And it's it's not coming to me very clear yet. And that makes me nervous because if it goes up the ladder, how are they going to take it? And I I again I think
that's highly unfair to the public because it's very confusing for the public to follow that that's not fair to them and then have read what the media you know says about it and who's given them information. So I can't really say one thing we're not on right now.
>> I'm kind of in the same camp on that. There's it's on a third revision. Um so there's not really a bill that we can even look at. So to say we want to take a position against something that we don't really know, you know, on on the surface, it sounds like it's something
that it's not fair to us. But what Jason had commented on, we've had a great relationship with with fire. And when little Timmy falls down the well and we need special ops, that's what we get for them. And I don't want to say no to something that is being characterized as
fire, trying to make it all about fire. Um because I don't even know what we're going to be voting on. I I don't know because we had the bills changed for the third time and now sounds like it's going to be changed for the fourth down fourth time. It's going to this can could get kicked down the road. So I'd
hate to adopt something that we I don't even know what we'd be adopting. You know, we're taking a position against something because the the League of Cities is but I with all due respect to the league I what are they taking a position against? what they think it's going to say. We don't know that unless
they know something that I don't know. But I'm more of a neutral and because I don't want to come out against fire because they we've got a great relationship with them. But I also don't know enough to say, "Yeah, I think the MSTU issue is is is a bad thing because on the surface it sounds like it, but I
don't really know what we'd be saying or against." So that's my concern. >> I agree. >> Yeah. No, I I agree. Like I said, it it was my duty to bring it up tonight 100%. And I do agree. I I you know I called Jeremy after the meeting. I'm like well I'm even more confused cuz the
delegation's not voting now. They have to meet again. And and I get it is it's very uh convoluted right now. And um Amy when I first talked to Keith about it too when we got the first bill I was like well I don't even have any data.
Like I how can I even analyze this and what Thursday? I don't have no data. Like I so we're really kind of operating in the blind on that. Um, again, the league's position was to oppose it in regards to pause. Let's work together to come up with a solution. We weren't opposing it like no, we're like, no,
let's talk about it. Let's, you know, we've worked so great with the county through the transportation plan and we're really trying to establish that precedence going forward that like we work together. We're all better together. The county is better if we all work together. So, let's have that conversation. So, the the league wasn't opposing it outright. It was let's
pause, work together, bring something forward. Um, but I do agree. I think I think we definitely need to monitor it and um, you know, we're all engaged and maybe when there's something more definitive, we can talk about it again and then um, decide like what we want to
do cuz I, you know, I every city is so different, too. Like we have a great relationship. We have mutual aid with the county. You know, other cities don't have that same setup. So, it's again, everyone's so differently affected by it as well. So I do agree that I it was but
I do agree because it's just so convoluted and I was more confused after the local bill hearing today than I was probably going into it. So >> So guidance on on what to for us to take action on this agenda item. Is it to the motion would be to adopt the league
and exclude the >> Well, the one that we have is not the revised one attached I believe >> because I don't see anything in here. >> It's not on here. No, cuz we it still has to be added. So, it's not on here. So, we can adopt. We're adopting the >> what's >> the last two pages 604 and 605,
>> which isn't on there. >> Um, another thing on finance and taxation. So, we did a vote in November on just property tax reform. I know on here it lists local option sales tax reform and local business tax reform. I want to keep those on there. There's
already uh business tax receipt bills filed. So, I want to keep those on there cuz even though the FLC is not taking those two up as their priority, um we'll still need to advocate for those items this session. So, I want to leave them on there.
>> Can I just add to clarify um the the municipal elections, the Palm Beach County League of Cities opposes legislation that restricts the voters's authority to set municipal election dates. Explain that to me. So the um
there is some movement at the state to get our municipal elections. Are you on that committee that is talking about this or you are? So basically they want to change ours to even your November
election like state and national elections. And so um that can cause a lot of complications with a just competing for voter retention when you have national and state going on. You're going to have a saturated media market.
Um it it overrides a bunch of local charters. you don't have um you know we'd have to update our charters or eliminate that from our charters. I don't know how that would work. You know with staggered terms it could come up with complications for um we might have to do temporary appointments or
incumbents um term would need to be extended to get align with that. And I know they're staying with like if you have to have a a runoff or recall that's going to end up falling in the holidays and like people are gone and not here. then you might be dealing with that when
people aren't around which is going to affect the voter turnout for that. And then something else that's being said is it really um when you're tying it to the state and national like we're nonpartisan state and national is very partisan. So there's worry that the municipal elections and those cans will
start getting wrapped into the partisan discussions when when we're truly not. You guys all know we are absolutely nonpartisan up here. Everything we do is nonpartisan. So there's that worry that the municipal elections will start getting um sucked into that conversation. And Jeremy, is there anything else? I'm sorry. I stole your
committee, not me. >> You were going to ask me. It's confusing because it says it it it opposes the voters and I I was I didn't know where it was coming from. So thank you. That's one reason. >> That was a good experience. >> Yeah. >> I would just longwinded. So we if we the
motion would be to approve what's before us this evening because it it omits the MST issue >> doesn't represent >> it's not on here. No we want to add the municipal >> municipal clerk motion >> and council member French I need to understand yours more especially if you
said FLC supporting it. I would like to do some more research and then like I said we might be revisiting this in December anyways. There's going to be stuff that transpires between, like I said, that that that MSTU local fire bill. Maybe there's um uh that gets resolved between
now and our December meeting and we discuss that again. So, I'd like to do some research. I'm not Can you say again what that was? >> Yeah, it calls it chapter 419, but it's community residences, recovery communities, and congregate living facilities. >> Was it on your October agenda?
>> It was. Yes. >> Okay. Well, I'm sorry. What's your committee again? It is municipal operations. >> Okay. I'll look at your agenda. And if uh just so other council members know, if you go to FLC's website and they're probably Okay. Yeah. The agendas
are all listed on there. So, you can look it up. It's rare, but if there's something that falls outside of this resolution in my opinion, because I don't want to take a stance without council's opinion, but if something does come up that is not does not fall on us, I can always bring it back at any point to council during one of the workshops
or council me depend on the time or if someone's really important, we could always call a special meeting just to talk about it. But, um, it hasn't happened in the six years I've been here. But, if something does happen that we haven't taken a stance on, we can do that.
Okay. So, the motion would be to approve adding the uh clerk's sorry, what is the language again for that? The >> the exemption. >> Public record. >> Public record exception. Yes. >> So, is there a motion for that? >> And I pull up the uh
>> and we're leaving the 419 like Mr. French's item off currently until the until next time till we get more information. Is that what I'm hearing? just >> that's what I would prefer just because when you said the league supports it like maybe a reason and not that we we
don't always agree with everything they do but I do just want to have the opportunity to look into it. >> Yeah. It didn't have much popularity and uh yeah that's all I'd give you on it and just from my um personal experiences and my professional experience with some of these residences uh it's caused great
concern in a small community like this. It's not only a demand on our public safety. It could definitely erode the fabric of a street or a neighborhood. It's dangerous sometimes. Um, and we're not Miami. We're not West Palm Beach. And the country club is prime uh space
for some of these residences to uh to move into there. >> Uh, so I'll make a motion to approve resolution number 2425. >> Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't make public comment. Is there any public comment? Sorry about that. It's the last item.
Tired. Okay. No, go ahead. >> U make a motion to approve resolution uh number 255 adding in the clerk public record exemption. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I
>> I >> All right. And on to any other matters. Anything else for tonight? >> No. >> No, nothing in particular. Um, I happen to watch the EAC meeting like I usually do, only yesterday you got to actually watch it like as it was happening. Um,
they did talk they had a presentation about the oysters that you brought up. So, I know they they didn't talk too much about it afterwards, but they got a good presentation. So, that's on there if you guys want to watch it and kind of get a head start in case it comes to us. And Mr. Allen did a great job of touching base with them and letting them
know if they had anything to bring to us when we start our strategic planning discussions to start planning that now. So we don't have to go and try to start that in like March with them. >> That's it. >> Anything else? >> No. >> Nothing. >> All right. Can I get a motion to
adjurnn? >> Second. All in favor? >> I have another meeting. Another meeting.
