>> I. >> I. >> All those post. Motion passes four to zero. Even though I didn't say I, but I meant I. All right. So, updates. At this time, we'll have staff and board
and council updates. We're going to start with city manager Sue Bet. >> Thank you, Madam President. Okay, a couple of updates. Um, just wanted to let you guys know on Thursday, September 18th, I had a meeting uh at the Levy County Supervisor Elections Office. I attended with Nikki and BJ.
Uh, it was to discuss address data issues. you know, super exciting, but um to make sure that, you know, addresses throughout the city are correct in the event that you know, somebody calls 911. So, we've talked about certificates of occupancy, annexations, expired permits,
uh vacant land, deleted addresses, address changes, split parcels, and hurricane damage. Um there's a whole host of people there like property appraisers, the Ley County um tax collector. Uh very, very good session. So, I appreciate you being um invited to
that. Uh Wednesday, September 24th, I attended a Swany River League of Cities strategic planning session. Uh two things that came out of that meeting. First and foremost, we're looking to fill two board seats. So, if anybody has any recommendations, I did reach out um at the urging of the board to the city
of Trenton to try and get them involved, but we do have two seats that are available if anybody has any suggestions. And number two, the board is looking to increase our corporate sponsorships. Um, we rely pretty heavily on sponsorships and money from the state obviously. Um, I've reached out to
Capitol City Bank, Duke Energy, GFL, JD Pro, C Coast Bank, and Wright Pierce. Um, if anybody has any other companies that they would recommend, I will happily send an email and then um connect them with Jenny Anderson from uh Switz.
Uh, Friday, September 26th, I attended a Levy County, sorry, uh, Border League of Cities utilities, natural resources, and public works policy committee meeting with councelor Martin. That's a mouthful. Um pretty much everybody here on the board is sitting on one of these
policy committees through the Florida League of Cities. Um they went over, you know, key legislation that passed and failed in the last uh legislative session. The two takeaways for me and of course I'll let council Martin talk if there's anything else that she took away, but enterprise fund transfers.
That's a big thing for the um for our city. The board supports preserving municipal authority over the use of utility revenues, including the ability to transfer funds to the general fund and realize a reasonable rate of return on utility assets. Legislation should recognize the importance of revenues
obligated for debt service, planned infrastructure projects, and existing contracts. Such flexibility ensures municipalities can manage budgets sustainably, maintain high quality services, and meet long-term community needs. So again, that's a big one for us. They feel like it's going to come up again in the next legislative session.
So, um, it's nice to have your support. And then the second one was on extra extr territorial search charges. Such a hard time that word. Um, and their statement on that one was the Florida League of Cities supports maintaining municipal authority to establish and apply reasonable extr territorial search
charges that reflect the cost of providing services outside of city limits. Legislation should acknowledge the operational maintenance and infrastructure costs associated with serving customers beyond municipal boundaries as well as service territory obligations. Protecting this authority ensures municipalities can equitably
recover costs, sustain reliable utility systems and plan for future capital needs without shifting undue burden to residents. We have our next meeting next Friday and then one in December. So, um that was a really it was very interesting to sit on that um committee
because gosh it was like 40 or 50 people in that room. So, very interesting. And then um last but not least, Friday, October 3rd, last Friday, I attended the North Florida Economic Development Partnership Board of Directors meetings. Um the one thing that they really talked
about that was really neat is they are partnering now with OID solutions and location design group to launch um an initiative to enhance economic competitive competitiveness in our region and it's around site positioning and improvement funding. So they're
asking all of the different municipalities within you know the NFDP area to identify two sites that we feel we want to promote for economic development. So, I sent them um yesterday I sent them the airport and Main Street is areas we would like to
see more economic development in. So, that will be nice if something helps with that. And then last but not least, wanted to let everybody know we have these little postcards called Life is a Highway that we got from Epcot and those are going to be distributed um at the fifth grade um classrooms as well after school. So, to let you know about that
and that's all I have. Thank you. >> Thank you, Miss Wright. Chief Rose Chief Rose would like me to announce that the the Central Florida Community Action
Agency will be recognizing him as a community partner. on October the 16th in Gainesville. And that comes from Chief Ro
being so kind to sit in the Duncan booth when they had their festivity at Heritage Park. So, we thank him and we thank also Kim Troy who also was in the Duncan booth. So, that's my announcement that he
wanted me to make. Oh, thank you, ma'am. >> Do we have a Do we have a time for that? >> 8:30. He has the location. He can tell you the location, >> let me finish this up for her, please.
>> So, it's at G it's in Gainesville uh at 8:30. There's a table for 8 uh for the breakfast. If anybody wants to attend, I'll be more than happy to have You go. Uh, I know the city manager and the mayor and Miss Wright are going to
attend. Uh, it's an honor for Willist, not for me, for Williston to be the 2025 uh, receiving a 2025 partnership award for our city. Even though they said it's for me, I'm not. It's not about me. It's
about Willist. So, I'm uh very proud of Williston and what we stand for and uh that we're being recognized for the things that we do by these local groups. So, uh hats off to our citizens and our community for a great job done and I'm
super excited to go there and receive that award. So, thank you. [Applause] >> Thank you. I got one more thing, man. Okay. Yeah. Uh what's the real thing?
>> Homecoming parade uh is October 9th. Starts at 5:30 to leave the school. Uh take the same route that it normally takes. So come out and uh be a part of the homecoming parade. Uh it's a lot of fun. Uh you set on side of the road and
wave that football team and everybody as they go by. So October 9th, 5:30 homecoming parade. That's it. >> Thank you. Thank you. Any other staff? Miss Troy, I mean, Chief Steel. Okay,
Miss Troy. Miss Troy. Thank you. Thank you. Uh, I am going to be sending out the city clerk's evaluation forms to you all this week. >> That's all I have. >> Thank you,
>> Mrs. >> Yes, ma'am. Thank you. Uh just want to let y'all know that the uh fire department, police department, uh Right Pierce, Mr. Donald Barber, and Miss Sue have been working on putting together a presentation for a public safety complex uh that we're going to try to present on
legislation days on October 21st. U we've been doing a little brainstorming on that, trying to put together some information, some of the issues we have with our building and along those lines and and hopefully we can get a better response than we've gotten in the past.
Um, that building is beyond at this point. I wouldn't want to give it to anybody or even let anybody else use it. It's way beyond where it needs to be. Um, also, and just one other thing, real quick thing, we were approved for a grant for the washer and
extractor machine for our bunker gear. Uh, it's a $22,000 grant. Um, we do have a 25% match which we're going to the county with um because they've told us to come back to seek funding for our grants and stuff like that. So, we're going to present
that to them uh sometime next month. That's all I have. >> Anyone else? >> Mr. Barber. >> Yes, Madam President. Thank you. I wanted to give everyone an update on the uh manhole repair on Southwest First A.
Our contractor is stating that the work should begin either Monday or Tuesday of next week. And I asked how long it should take all the way down to fixing the asphalt. Uh they told us that once they start it would be around four to five business days. So hopefully within
the next uh week and a half to two weeks that that problem should be wrapped up. Um we also reached out to the uh city of Stark and I want to thank them publicly. Um through mutual aid they have offered for us to pick up next Monday their vac
truck. Um the vac truck is going to be used um with the water staff and on it with an experimental wrap that I told the council about. We're going to be trying to attempt to fix uh Southeast 2nd Street and Fourth A. Um we're going
to do a good faith effort in that and so we needed the truck for that. Um, also while we have the vac truck, there's a couple electric jobs that we're going to do for a couple days. And um, also on Southeast Fourth Street by the First Baptist Church and the daycare there on
the east side of Fourth Street. Um, we're going to be using it to rebuild a 4-in line that has been compromised at the valve. So, those are some of the projects I know some people in the community have talked about and we are actively working on uh, on solving those. Also want to mention that block
12 uh grading on the parking lot should begin sometime next month. The sewer and the water is done. And right now we're currently working on the electric on block 12. So we're really looking forward to the um the wall going up
there by the the new pond and starting to see that that project actually look like a parking lot. So we're excited about that. And that's all I had. Thankf Mr. Walker, do you have anything?
>> Madam President, the only item I have is we have our annual ethics presentation on December 4th. It'll start at 4 pm and go to 8. So you'll get your all public officials meaning elected officials and
really your staff's welcome to come or any of your PNZ members um are certainly welcome to come as well. Uh but it gets your four hours of certification in for ethics training that you're required to have. So you're welcome and as you know
Danielle and Kirsten always make it as entertaining as that subject. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. Thank you, sir. >> There's a Florida League of Cities legislative that day that will affect policy. >> We've started recording it now. So, if
you want to watch the recording, you can you can do that. >> What time is starts at 4:00? >> Thank you, sir. >> That's all. >> Anything from the council? >> I have my same thing. That's what I'm
still asking about. There's update. That's what I'm here for. Um, I'm asking about the awning across the street. Somebody to give you an update on that. The repairs that need to be made. I mean, I know we have the money. Why
are we not doing that? >> Talked with the contractor today. Um, I haven't had a chance to look into his words, but his words, the lawyers had it. He's waiting for the lawyers to get it back, but I have not had a chance to talk to anybody about it yet. Well, I'm getting complaints from the
residents. Yes, ma'am. >> That are in the buildings that are right there in front of it. Um, so we need to do something about it. >> Yes, ma'am. Absolutely. >> It's been months. >> And I'll make contact and talk get a resolution in the morning about it. >> Okay. Let me know what you find out. I
appreciate it. And I'm also asking about the central bidding and the purchate purchasing policy and if we put out the RFP for the peso property which has also been months and months
and months. This department the RFP was put out by the planning department I would say over two and a half three weeks ago. Um even last council meeting the RFP was up. um the pictures and the bid documents and everything were submitted and are up on central bidding.
If you go look for it, you'll find that's the project under city of Willist. >> Would be wonderful to know that. >> Yes, ma'am. And um that's uh I think the reason why the update wasn't given last time is because no one from the planning department was here. So >> So did we get it to where it's
copathetic with the purchasing policy now? >> Yes. Everything was reviewed by uh the city attorney and everything that was submitted by the city attorney was given over to Nikki and Nikki went and got the pictures from some of our staff. We posted the whole project. We put all the dates. Everything was reviewed by the
city attorney. It's been out um I think it was a 45day bid window. >> That was my next question. >> Yes, ma'am. I think it was a 45day bid window and then of course there's a period of time for the bids to be selected and gone over and all that. Um but all that was posted uh at least two
or three weeks ago. >> Okay. So the next question is have we notified the people we knew were interested? >> We have put out we put out the advertisements in the newspaper. We notified um central bidding. I know that she emailed a lot of the contractors
that we've worked with in the past. And then there were some folks who'd been talking to us about some economic development and I believe she sent them some information on that. But she'd have to confirm that. But I believe Nikki did send out Yes, Nikki. >> Okay. Yes, ma'am. That's that's who's handling this. >> Appreciate it.
>> Okay. Couple of things here. Peggy O'Neal. Um what's going on with the exercise equipment? I know that um it was
Kirstston had said about need to be hired a contractor to put install it so that when there takes the liability off us. >> This is actually the first I've heard about a contractor taking it over. Um I
was in the process of cleaning up Peggy O'Neal. Um there's still a couple trees that need to get down. We were waiting for the knuckle bloom to get fixed. That's just got fixed in the last couple days. Um there's still a couple trees out there that are marked. Um I've got an area picked out where we're going to put the workout equipment. I need to
tear into the equipment and actually take a physical look at it. We're trying to get the schematics from it, too. Miss Megan um was Miss Megan was going to look into finding me the schematics for the the equipment. I guess it's been sitting there for a couple years. So, um you find out how to actually build it
before I start to put it together. But I have a plan put together. Uh the park is 75% cleaned up. Um and now we just need to take down those trees before I want to bring any of that equipment there. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Yeah. Please, >> if you're going to speak, please come to
the podium >> or use microphone. >> Or use a microphone. Yes. I was just trying to let Ralph know that um I was part of ordering the playground equipment. So I should be able to get u
whatever he needs as far as literature or whatever. If we don't have it, then I can contact the lady that we ordered it through and then I should be able to get anything we need. Thank you. >> Can I tag on that line? Have have all
the lights been fixed and the gloes? Yeah, that's another issue. >> I believe, Miss Jones, that the electric uh is going to have to be redone through the park because which is why that the globes have been the the electric itself was compromised. It was never put into conduit properly and it wasn't like
direct berry wire from my understanding. So once the exercise equipment was put in, I think they discussed, you know, then designing which path the lights would take and then laying new conduit, putting new lights up. >> Okay. >> It would be No, I know the public has asked about that, too. It would be nice
for us to let them know that. >> Um, >> I like the weekly report. What I would like to see in it is a little more detail about what the meetings were about. Just meeting with somebody, you know, like going to the one in Lake
City. You give us a some meat to it so we can know what that is. Um little disappointed that we're not discussing investigative report. Rarely thought that would have been on this uh
agenda. Um, organizational charts. I think right before you went, city manager went to crease, organizational charts were sent out, but they still had some employees who no longer work for us. So, if those
could be updated, >> they have been updated because I did give them. I don't know that they sent them to everybody, but I asked for an updated one and they did give it to me. So, >> okay. It's It should be ready for everybody. Vicki did that for me. >> Okay.
Laura's office. I know we had talked about uh you know when she comes here to use it, things like that, but if we need office space, um we can take that over.
And um from what I understand, the gentleman for the fire inspector, he uses the this room right here when he comes here. So we could do the same thing, you know, for Laura.
So just figured just throw it out there if we need the office space. We've got that there. And also, aren't there some extra desks in the back behind the counter that you utilize space? So, she can utilize that
space as well if we need an office. Um, Miss Troy. >> Yeah. >> Miss Troy. >> Oh, I was just going to say, sir, I I can I will email you in the morning and updated or chart. I'm the one that um is updating them. >> Okay.
>> If you'll send it to everybody. Thank you for everything. >> Yes, Madam President. >> Miss Meredith, >> I'm Mine's at the end of the agenda. >> Mr. Mayor, do you have anything? >> Yes, I do.
[Music] This is not something that I do easily, but I'm going to do it nonetheless. I wrote a letter to the city manager,
and in that letter, I did not have all of the facts. And I should have before I wrote that letter, I should have done a much deeper investigation into what was going on. Uh I'm not going to go into
detail. If somebody wants detail, they can meet me in my office, but I am here to openly address the city manager and apologize for having written that letter and
putting you in such an awkward position. That's all I have. Thank you. >> Thank you. Okay, so we're going to go to item number seven. New business,

wanted to give you some updates on some recent funding changes. Um specifically through the Florida Department of Transportation aviation office uh that fund a majority of projects at the airport. Um and so it has to do with is
the ready waiver program. uh ready if you may be familiar with it rural economic development initiative there is a handout I don't know if you all saw it in the back that has some information on this situation but um so uh rural economic development
initiative um the reason we wanted to bring it up tonight is uh the current project at the airport which we're going to start to sign on soon the runway 523 lighting rehabilitation project is being impacted by these changes that are being
put in place. And this ready uh waiver program um it is uh it deals with grant funding for uh for the airport, but um just to be I guess to concisely state, I'm going to read a portion of what's on
the handout. So the ready waiver refers to waiver of local matching fund requirements for state programs and grants awarded to rural or economically distressed communities. The Florida Department of Transportation has the authority to fund up to 100% of eligible project costs for publicly owned
publicly operated airports located in ready eligible rural communities. This provision effectively eliminates the need for a local match on qualifying airport projects. Historically, the statute has enabled small rural communities such as Ley County to access critical airport infrastructure funding
without the financial burden of cost sharing. However, recent interpretations by the FDOT aviation office um now place the ready waiver program at risk. Um so um basically to give you a little bit of back so in general uh
the airport in historically has been eligible to get all the funding for projects at the airport 100% funded. Now uh what the change they're trying to implement if it does move forward would require that the airport provides the standard match infrastructure project
which is 20% of the total cost. So you know with capital improvement projects that are hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars normally. So you're talking about a significant amount of money um for instance on a million dollar project 20% $200,000. Um, also to just give you specifically Williston's
uh capital improvement program at the bottom of this there's a table for magnitude of costs. If this were to carry forward for the next few years alone, you're looking at uh over $400,000 of costs that would not have been required for the airport to put in as a match. Um so it is significant I
guess is the point on that. But um just another quick background on what has happened and how this came to be. Um about two years ago, there was legislation that was passed uh that had the intent of providing more money uh to rural airports. And unfortunately, what
ended up happening um is that the result is it's limiting the funding for airports, limiting this ready funding. Um so the bill was passed. There was a Florida statute specifically covering uh the ready program at airports that added
some language to the statute and it identified specific types of projects that the ready waiver could be applied to whereas before it was broadly applied to any project. So um that's the change that's limiting the funding. Um
so I guess just that we just wanted to make you aware of this. It is significant for the airport. Um it's Unfortunately, the the district within FDOT that BB County is in district 2, they're the ones that have taken this
interpretation upon themselves to um what the the words in the statute say. Um so it's affecting here. It's not statewide accepted yet. And um through consultants and other rural airports, this is impacting a district 2 and uh
the Florida airport council. uh there has been uh communication put out to like state representatives to try to affect some change. It sounds like on a positive note that that is already having some effect and that maybe this would get overturned soon. But that's
basically it. I'm just here to make you all aware of it. That is significant for the airport and uh that's basically all I have unless you have any question about that for me or Vinton. I don't know if you wanted to say anything on the topic or on it. Go ahead.
You said that this was in the work then you said that this what had been done. >> So yeah let me so one thing I meant to clarify a little bit. Uh so it came to us um only a few months back maybe June
where our district 2 uh program manager that we deal with for the grant funding with FDOT told us that there will be some changes coming. And then now uh that current project I referred to this uh runway 523 lighting there was uh
recently um the FP grant for that project I think it actually came in front of me for approval. Well, they he they have already district two implemented this change to make it so that the city of Wilson the airport has to provide um some funding match whereas before the way it was planned it would
have been zero. Um luckily with this project we're going to start design now construction in 2026 the construction obviously is the more the bulk of the cost. Um, we were able to shuffle some funding, some grants around because FAA is involved as well to sort of limit the
impact the airport on this specific project. Um, so it has already taken some effect. Um, but if moving forward, like we're trying to show in this table, if it didn't get overturned, you know, you're talking about a significant hundreds of thousands of dollars. But yes, so it has already district 2
specifically has taken it upon themselves to implement this into current grants. So you say district two has done this but not the other districts. >> As far as I know, it's just district two. Like it has not been accepted statewide. It's an interpretation
specifically coming out of district 2. And like I said, I know there's already some noise been made to local representatives and it sounds like there may be some direction trickling down through FDOT to sort of change this. But
we you know we need that to happen to you know keep doing as much you know maintenance of the existing infrastructure and improvement projects the airport. >> Thank you. >> Yep. >> Miss Jones. District 2 is also Gainesville right? Not of Cal
Gainesville. >> Uh >> probably two separate districts. >> Uh it mean it's a certain portion of the state of Florida the counties. I believe it covers Elasha County. Yeah, I think it goes that way instead of the other way. >> Yeah, it go it goes to the northeast,
>> right? It sounds to me like all the airports from that district too, they may need to get together and sounds like a wonderful thing to take to our legislative delegation for one thing >> if they're doing their own interpretation that's different from everybody else. >> Yes, ma'am. Uh we've we've had several
conversations with Paso and Pasro represents several of those airports as well that are that are ready airports. I mean, they're I know Gainesville is probably not a ready airport because they're too big. No. >> So, they could care less, but And it looks like maybe a $9,000 hit on this
particular project. >> Well, that's because of Matt. So, it was significantly more. >> Oh, it was more than that. >> Yeah. And and you know, Matt and Paso did some shuffling around of some other projects and we ended up using some bipart bipartisan infrastructure money
to facilitate, you know, lowering our cost even more. So, at least we know we can proceed with that project. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Yeah, because it was going to be I think it was going to be a $60,000 hit. >> I mean, I'm looking at the other ones down here. >> Yeah, it's significant. >> It is significant. And that's why >> that one's not too bad.
>> And that's why we wanted to, you know, we Brad and Matt and I kind of talked about it and um you know, we we wanted to make this presentation to make you guys aware that this is this is going to have a significant impact. Uh so reaching out to you know any local
legislators about it would be it would be very nice >> u because you know we're some we're not going to be able to do some of this stuff >> without that help. I mean you know we're I feel like the our airport is just starting to get on its feet and be a
competitor. Um and this would this would kind of styy us a little bit. I don't think it would take us out of the fight but it would sty us. Any other questions? >> Any questions? >> Thank you, sir.
>> Thank you. >> Resolution 2025-116, a resolution of the city council of the city of Willist, Florida, approving an amendment to section 32.02. 02 CP
of the human resource policy regarding retirement health insurance authorizing appropriate parties to sign any documents required to evacuate same on behalf of the city of Wilston and providing an effective date HR director Kim Troy
I provided each one of you what the exactly what the um HR manual uh states in a separate handout, but uh for the retirement part in exhibit A is um covering the retirement for the health policy uh adding C because we have not we did
the 25 and out. But if you see a and um b if a employee retiring from the city of Wilston who is at least 62 years old and has worked for the city 25 years or more and who at the time time of retirement has been covered under the
city's health insurance plan for at least the past 5 years will be offered continued health insurance coverage on the retire retiring employee only under the city's group health plan until attaining age 65. 5 at no cost to the
retiree. And then section B talks about uh an individual who is 62 but has not um has worked for the city for less less than 25 years and who at the time of retirement has covered under the city's
health insurance plan for at least the past 5 years may purchase health insurance coverage on themselves under the city group health plan until they attain age 65. So, with the 25 and out, um I
am asking for approval for an employee retiring from the city of Wilson who is not at least 62 years old and has worked for the city for 25 years or more and who at the time of retirement has been covered under the city's health
insurance plan for the last 5 years will be offered continue health insurance coverage on the retiring employee only under the city's group health plan for 32 years from the date of retirement at no cost to the retiree. It's basically a reflection of a
three years. Yes. Yes. Uh it is basically a reflection of a just updating the 25 and out instead of the 62 uh year old rule. So you're asking that with the 25 and out depend regardless of the age of the
person that we still pay 3 years worth of health insurance on that person. >> Yes ma'am. Uh let me see where did I put I have the cost here too. it would be for one employee because
they can't make changes to any of their um health insurance as is. It's only for the employee. So, whatever option they choose, but um it's going to cost the city $9,744.72
um based on the United Healthcare Plan 3, which is the the most expensive option. Uh but as of right now we're if anybody is 62 and a half and I don't know if we actually have anybody like that that is uh falls under a
>> Yes, Miss Meredith. >> Is this a standard procedure in other cities and other um company policy or is this a little unusual to the city of Willist? Uh when I'm talking to Joyce who runs
through the city, it's up to the city is what she when I was trying to find out if this is applicable, she said it's um up to the city. Kind of doing my homework before I presented it. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Um I'll give a little context. I personally I've never seen this done
anywhere else. Um, however, if I can >> I said however however I believe that the original intent from what I have heard from staff is that the original policy that we had with the 62
is if somebody retired at 62 years old, they were going to go three years before getting Medicaid Medicare at 65. So this bridged the gap of those three years >> because it's early retirement at >> because you're Yeah. Because it was early retirement. So the thought here was of course we don't want to bridge
the entire gap. Somebody retires at say 54 you have offer 11 years but it would be just to mirror what we currently had or had four with the 62 plus three. Now you're going to get whatever you're retiring at the 25 and out plus three. Of course after that if they're still
not 65 then they would be on their own. But it's just a a way to kind of know what they have before. >> And with the 25 and out, instead of paying for their insurance in its entirety by the city,
can they pay their own insurance at the employee rate instead of the the city being having to put the bill for it? >> Cuz there's an employee rate here depending on which plan. And it looks
like it ranges anywhere from $712 to $812 depending on the plan. >> Yes. The >> 812 is the one we have. >> Yeah. So, uh B, option B is mimicking it, but that's for an individual who um
worked for 25 years or less. Uh it is they they can stay on our get our group rate, but they pay for it themselves. I think that should be a better option instead of the city having to pay for
three years. Does B currently exist? >> Yes, ma'am. There is one person who is utilizing it. >> I know, but we do have that currently. You didn't give us that tonight, so I couldn't tell if that was a current. I knew the A is currently in the P.
>> What? I'm not sure what you're referring to, Miss Debor. what you gave us in the packet, not what's on our desk. A, B, and C. >> Yes. >> Is B currently in the policy? Yes, ma'am. >> We just don't have a one page of it. >> Okay. So, I'm for leaving it like it is.
And if they're not 62 yet, if they are 62 and they want to buy it after that, I feel like it's >> s that say that last part.
>> I am not in favor of C. >> I knew that I knew that A existed in the current policy. >> I was unaware that B also existed. >> Yeah. with uh a the city's picking it up and then in b this um the employees
paying for it and there is a current and a retired employees contradiction. So how can they have those? That's why I asked this question. >> Uh because the one is for who is at least 62 which is B who has worked for
the city less than 25 years. The first one who has uh worked for the city 25 years. >> Got it. >> That's the difference. >> I think it's almost like it is because it does offer them.
You're talking about the ones who retire before 462 with 25 and out that they have the option to pay for their own insurance. Is the Is there a Is that for three years? That's three years as well.
Five years. No. How How many years is that one under B? >> It says five right now. >> No, that's if they had 62 years. >> Yes, they can pay for it until they attain age 65. So yes, it would be three
years on section B, >> but related to the 25 and out, 25 years and out, they still pay they could pay for it. >> We have no policy on that right now, man. >> So >> yeah, we just changed that. So we
wouldn't have a policy on it yet, >> right? I'm just trying to understand what's being said. So, um, yeah, I think I miss Deborah. I'm fine with leaving it as it is if they are. Well,
actually, I'm not I don't I I don't think we should be paying for anybody insurance. >> $10,000 a year is taxpayers money. Just >> I don't think that we should be doing that. >> That's per employee. We had five or six. We'd be in trouble.
>> Yeah. So, I think we need to remove that at no cost to the retiree. >> That That's my current. >> Correct. C doesn't currently exist. >> We can table it and I can come up with a
different option. So, yeah, I I would I would Go ahead. >> Yeah, I I'm I move that we table this >> I would like to have a little more information on what other cities and communities do in this particular situation so that I'm not basing this
just off my guts, but what historically has been successful in other communities and at what cost that >> and give us the next page. [Music] I just want to point out that Penllis County does something similar to this,
you guys. So, I I agree. I I love the table it idea. Instead of just voting it down, let's do a little more investigating because we're trying to take care of our employees that have dedicated their their life essentially to this to this place. And since we did the 25 and out, there's there's no caveat for the insurance coverage. So, I
agree at the table, it's a great idea. We have a motion to table. >> I make a motion we table this to the next. >> Okay. So, we have a motion. >> I second. >> So, we have a motion and a second. Any
discussion from the public? Any discussion from the council? Motion passes. Well, actually, it doesn't yet. Um, >> the tableling does pass. Um, so let's vote. All those in favor
say I. >> I. >> I. >> I. All those opposed say nay. Motion passes 4 zero. Resolution 2025-7 117. A resolution of the city council of the city of Wilston, Florida, approving
a compensation plan as stated in the human resource manual section 19.03 authorizing appropriate parties to sign any document required to effectuate same on behalf of the city of Wiston and providing an effective date HR director
Kim Troy. little backstory on this because I didn't get a chance to well, I'm not going to lie, I forgot uh to email everybody. Um I've had a discussion with some of you. Uh this is the first step for the certification audit. Um just
after doing a lot of investigating into that, um one of my concerns is I mean bankrupting the city. Um, nowhere are you going to go that you're going to get a $9 raise in two years, a $15 raise
in two years, you know. Um, there's the compensation plan is pretty much pay pay grade scale and once you meet the the cap for that pay grade, then you can get all the certifications you want. And yes, we are going to have to present this to the union. Um, that's a whole
another battle. But, uh, this is kind of get spending on this certification since we have no clarification, you know, um that and we have to wait on the union. This is kind of trying to
draw fiscal responsibility here. Uh cuz like I said, in the private sector, you're not going to get a 910 $15 raise anywhere. Uh so this would be the first step is to establish these pay grades. Um once you approve them, the next step
would be to assign them to um positions. uh which they were in effect one many many years ago and it was outdated. I don't even know if the 2012 compensation plan was approved by council. Um the last one was in it I handed it out was
2018. Uh and it just kind of with that fiscal pay grade that I handed out um it's certain employees bringing up you know out of poverty and everything. So, this compensation plan is based off of minimum wage with $14 an hour is the
start and then um when you look at the it's basically annual for anybody minimum and annual and then the minimum max on the far would be your yeah same as mine. So far right um these are the difference
between um each step. So uh yeah and we can make if you want me to make adjustments to it after you look at it. I mean that is it's it's a start and then we can go back into the
certification audit so I can add you know are they they topped out at salary and stuff like that for their pay grades to kind of help us get better control on this. >> Any question? I just want to clarify and and I know we actually did get a chance
to speak about this. So, um but to clarify what this is going to do is going to like just pick a random position, front desk or something like that. It it says that that particular job falls on into this particular pay
grade category and as a result >> your your pay is in essence or capped at a certain point beyond the 3% annual. Nope. No, they this would so this has to get updated yearly because in the HR manual it does state that if you're
capped out you the cola is still added in. So after the budgets approved for the cola I have to go back in I have to update it. I have to bring it to you. It's going to be a yearly thing. You you know once we get the basis is pretty much plugandplay. You times everything by whatever the percentage is.
>> So it it's capped in essence other than the cola. So there's a a starting pay >> grade a starting pay rate and a in this position this is the top in pay rate which moves each year with the cola or whatever adjustments are are made
>> as I understand it basically means it doesn't matter how many certifications you get you're topped out >> yes ma'am or yes sir sorry the federal government does this as well right um I was once a federal government employee so you have like I was a GS11 um I
started out as a one. Of course, I got doge. I didn't get a chance to move anywhere. So, um, but you go through steps, right? And if your position is just a GS11 position or GS9-11, if you want to become a 12, you have to
apply for another position in that pay grade. They just don't keep you, you know, do you want to pay a lawnmower $30 an hour because he's got all these certifications to lawnmowing? Um that's not that's kind of where this is coming
from, >> right? Yeah. No, I understand that. I I just wanted to clarify that this was the same thing that that I think we had discussed in person is attaching >> sort of a a window of pay range to a job and then obviously if somebody is
qualified for another job and that you know breaks open a new a new opportunity for increase in pay in another position. Just want to make sure that that's what we were. >> Yes. >> Do >> Yes. >> Yes.
>> Does Newberry or any other cities have like what we have? >> Um I do believe Newberry does cuz every one of their job descriptions has a pay grade assigned. I can't find it. >> Uh I I don't know where it's at listed on their website, but there's quite a few jobs out there. You know, when I was
in the job hunting world in February, there's a lot of jobs out there that have pay grades attached to them. I guess >> too we need to probably look at cities or municipalities very similar to ours as far as
you know money that we generate to take and see because you know if things go through uh that one house bill we're going to be strapped. >> Yes sir. Um one of the salary studies I
did do uh was through FMPA. So, I did pull some some um data from what FMPPA was able to gather me, and that's from many different municipalities. Did they assign them pay grades? No. But, uh some of our our staff are on target with uh
other municipalities cuz they list it as large, small, and medium. And they give you what you know um what would make you small, large, and medium. And we fit into FMPA small. So, some of that, you know, some of that
data doing a few salary studies, um, some some employees are right on target for FMPA standards >> because when I was with you and we went through through the different certification, too. I mean, you got an employee, you
did nine certifications. Well, I would expect that employee to be working different things out in the field. >> Yes, sir. >> Yeah. So, um, you know, and I know with the
university, and I think Mr. Fuller can, um, agree to this, too, if you're working this job and you're maxed out at,
let's say, $17 an hour, $18 an hour, and you go, you know what? I want to move over to here, but this job only tops out at $15 an hour. When you transfer over, you're going to that lower rate. You You
don't get to keep that same, >> right? >> You know, that same pay. So, >> Miss Jones, >> you knew I was ready. You're so good. I'm holding that over here as long as I can. Um,
I have the impression that not all of our job have a pay grade assigned to them. >> No, I asked about one the other day and I you didn't there wasn't one. It hadn't been assigned a pay grade. >> No. So, what I did on some of them was, for example, if the starting pay was I
don't know 22 91, right? So, what I did was I did it in the benefit of the employee. So I looked at the pay grade that's established here. So 22.91 fits uh you know it's well that's a bad
example. Um looking at the pay getting so looking at the wages right uh so if there was one that was exactly 22 even that is the starting pay for the benefit of the person filling that role because they are so close you know and looking
at the job description uh I'm more than likely assign them to the higher pay grade depending on where like where they fell the responsibilities so I tried to do it in the benefit of the employee when the starting pay isn't even, you
know, assigned a pay grade yet. >> Do we even have job descriptions for all of our employees? >> Yes, I'm working on updating them, but yes, we do. >> Uh, not that I've seen is the answer to that question. >> I have majority of them on the desk.
>> And you may have made them up, but we haven't. I haven't seen them. She said she's working. Okay. >> Yeah, I'm working on updating them, but there's been job descriptions on uh for a while cuz that's what I started to use. >> And a lot of them have the pay grades already updated on there. I mean, they
haven't been updated. Some of them haven't been updated since 2019, but I've been getting with the department heads to help me update them. >> That's We're looking at a number and a dollar amount. We don't know who falls in what grade. And I guess it's to me
it's important to know that it's not just numbers on the paper or people. Um, and to be to put a pay grade up there with dollar amount and not know what the assigned job is that goes in that pay grade is just really hard to figure out. >> Okay.
>> To me, that's just one person, you know. Don't know how the rest of them feel. >> I I guess I don't understand what direction you want me to go. You want me to do update all the job descriptions first and then do a compensation plan? I I I'm just asking for clarification.
>> I would like to know which jobs are assigned to be pay what not the people but the the job. >> Okay. >> I mean like let's take alignment A and alignment B and alignment C. What pay grade? I don't have a clue what pay
grade they're in. >> Okay. Um, so it's really hard to know if we're establishing a correct pay rate or even how you and I see you gave us the minimum and how how you're increasing it, but I don't know where you started >> at $14 an hour.
>> Doesn't really tell us what we need to know. It tells us who the people were and what pay grade they were in, but it doesn't tell us >> because I can't find the rest. >> Tells us what their job is. >> Yeah. I for the previous pay grades I don't even know if you've seen it or
passed it. Miss Latricia and I dug for and that is what we have found that has been approved by council. >> Yeah, the last one I can remember is ancient and it was done by a company called Long and Associates. It was an >> Mr. Steel.
>> Yes, ma'am. So, it this uh this table is very similar to the compensation plan that we have currently. I mean, it it's it's almost right there with it. And the way you were supposed to use the compensation plan, which had it had every job description with it, it had
this table at the very front of the >> I would love to see that. >> I have it in my office. >> I would love to see it. I need it. >> It stays with my HR manual. >> Yeah. Um, it was the one from 2012 that Kim referenced. Um, I it it stays with my HR manual. It's got this as the the
second page after the cover page. And then it's got job descriptions. At the top of each job description, it has your your job code, you know, basically with it. >> So, like a crew crew worker was a pay grade two. Um, you know, a team lead was a paygrade five. Most administrative
assistants were pay grade fives. Supervisors started out at 10, managers at 13s or 15s. So, I mean, it's this exists. >> Yeah, that's good. >> Yeah. And I can I can get with him. We can coordinate this. >> And what's the date on that? Uh that was 2012.
>> That's probably Long and Associates. The question is it hasn't been updated with with >> Probably not. But I mean that's what that's what this is. >> Yeah. And that's what she said. That's what it >> would be very helpful.
>> We'll make it Troy. So then the department heads >> finish that. >> Yeah. >> When the department heads should get together with HR, pick out a time and then two weeks is going to be tough for
them to come up to rewrite the job descriptions or whatever. So >> you have to do that if they know what takes what goes in. That's a step in the right direction. I know job descriptions take forever. >> Yes. Some of them are very very
outdated. >> Yeah. >> And uh I don't think us giving you a short timeline is going to be beneficial either. We're not going to give you forever, but I think we should give you at least enough time to really do the
research >> and make it the best that it should be. >> A great question to ask. >> Uh so what do you want me to do with the certification on it? ing it as is or cuz that was kind of the first step of moving into that um
and like putting a cap on things like uh how do you want me to proceed with that then? My suggestion would be whatever your c your whatever your findings are from the certification audit, send it out to the council. Let us look at it, review it.
>> If anybody has any questions, they will contact you, ask questions, put everything together that way and then bring it before the council and submit it that way. Okay. >> Thank you. >> That would be my suggestion. >> I agree. >> Thank you.
>> That's correct. more information. >> Is there anything else? Does anybody from the public have anything? >> I think we do. >> I make a motion that we table item 7 C until Miss Troy is ready to
>> We have a motion and a second. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> All those opposed say nay. Motion passes. Order to zero. Discussion with possible action. Citizens advisory committee.
Hold that thought. Do we want to do the resolution first and then end with this? >> Is that okay, Mr. Latricia? We're going to switch the order. We're going to go with resolution 2025-118 by Mr. Scott Walker.
>> Yes, sir. >> Well, President, this is resolution number 2025-118, a resolution of the city council of the city of Willist, Florida, approving the interlog agreement for fire inspection
services between the city of Willist and Levy County. Authorizing appropriate parties to sign any documents required to execute such agreement on behalf of the city of Wilston and providing effective date. Appropriate motion is to pass resolution number 5-18
on its reading by title. >> President H. This is Danny. >> Yeah. >> Danny Lamar. >> Okay. I was going to ask Lamar, but Mr. Danny, if you would like to. >> This is the same agreement that we just recently did with Cedar Key, the
resolution that we did, and it's to provide uh fire inspection services to the county. And we're same price, same, you know, travel pay, everything else. It's it's going to
remain the same as as a like we did with C So, >> any questions? >> You're going to be busy. >> Already am. >> I know. I don't know how you're going to do it. That's what I'm saying. >> Y'all really need to sign this so we can
get paid by the county for what they already owe us. >> I'm sure >> that was my question is what's the fiscal impact of this? >> They're paying us the same rate that that uh Cedar Keys are paying us. get paid $65 an hour from the time we get in
the truck to leave till the time we get back. >> Very nice. >> Thank you. >> I make a motion that we approve resolution number 2025. >> Second. >> I have a motion and a second. Any
conversation or questions from the public? Any from the council? So, all those who are in favor of All right. Um, we have a motion and we have a second. I move to vote. All those in favor say I.
>> I. All those opposed say nay. >> Motion passes 4 to zero. Now we will go back to discussion with possible action. Citizen Advisory Committee Council Member Mer Meredith Martin. >> Shannon, do you want to take it away or
you want me to go for it? Okay. Um, so this is an effort to try to work, um, a little bit more closely with the community at large, um, residents of Willist. And, you know, the first part of the first
document, the lovely big bold writing, um, is kind of what I put together. and Shannon was wonderful and put together the second two documents. Um, and the idea is I'm going to assume everybody read it, but I'll go over it real fast. Um, the idea is that we would create a
citizens advisory committee committee. um that would be um able to communicate with council uh the city manager and the city staff in a more streamlined and efficient manner and that they could bring forward their
ideas to the council um in a unified way and talk to us about things that concern them and hopefully through this committee um and the advisory committee and the citizens advisory committee that we would be able to provide the information in a timely fashion. because
I know as a resident and there have been a couple times, in fact, I think the very first time I came up here um and got sucked into the city council by chief roles, um that I came about an issue that like the ship had sailed. I'm not going to lie, the ship had sailed. I was way late. I needed to be at the
planning and zoning committee like three years prior when the ordinances were changed and so forth and so on. And I didn't know that at the time. I've since learned um government's a very slow process and you got to get in there at the grassroots level. And this is an an effort to help uh citizens get involved
in that process and really truly shape um and not just feel like, you know, they're hearing about it after the fact. And also to let us know what their most pressing issues are, the things that, you know, they can talk to us about through the course of the year and so that when budget season comes around, we
know they really want to see resources directed in this direction. you know, obviously we're limited in some of what we can do, but to the best of our abilities to hear their voices more. So, we just wanted um to come to you guys
and see what your thoughts were and if you had any suggestions and obviously we sort of create a more formal outline, bring it back for >> So, they follow the sunshine laws. >> Yes. >> What about form one or form six? So Sue
brought that up that if the council appoints the board members form one is would be required. However, I believe and and we can find out for sure that if the advisory board itself or the
committee itself appoints their um chair and vice chair that they would not qualify. But I >> doesn't make >> no sunshine law. >> Mr. Walker, do you have any I I think the to be on the safe side
file form. >> So then that would be you know obviously that would maybe >> it's easy right >> and if if somebody did not want to do that they could certainly just serve on you know they could be part of the
committee but not a board member of the committee using the right term policy. they could come to the meeting so they could volunteer their thoughts, but they would not be in an official capacity. >> I think we need to get our our own house in order first and then tackle this. I'm
not against it. I kind of look at it as JV City Council in a sense because you're doing an advisory group. Um but also too we have uh YouTube people can
watch one. It's been available and we do other um town hall meetings with different things if people don't show up. So I'm not against it. I like it. I think
we need to take care of our own house first before we roll out something else. So when you say take care of my own house first, be specific. Please tell me what you really what you really think. >> Let's go through the evasive
investigative report. >> Okay. Um, so if if we did develop this citizen advisory committee, would we be able to utilize this committee when we talk about
reviewing our charter or would be that be something different? Because then at >> you would need another committee. Right. >> I think it's a great idea. >> The only things that I came up with were
it was not real specific about the sunshine law. >> And it wasn't real specific about form one. >> Those were the only two real notes I wrote and the fact that it didn't have legal review. >> Right. This is just this was just a raw outline an idea just to get some
feedback from you guys about do we even proceed forward or do we just >> I don't think we'll need bylaws >> uh because I think it's appointed that'll be an appointed board from the city council. I don't think they'll require bylaws not like a corporation. Uh so I don't think well that those
would be required other than establishing policy. I think we could probably do that in another form other than actual bylaws. Uh, and I I am impressed if you wrote this because it's great. And that was one question I had this afternoon.
>> Uh, and I never got an answer back when I emailed who put this together, you know, did it come from the Florida League of Cities? Did it come from another organization? Did it come from a lawyer? >> Because it I knew it didn't come from the attorney because it didn't have legal review. So, I knew it wasn't them,
but I was impressed by what I read. Um, so I think it's a good step. >> Um, I would love it if Shauna would maybe come to the podium and talk about it from an actual citiz perspective, not from a council member.
>> The pros pros >> any other cities doing this? >> Actually, I have a meeting. What inspired me, sorry, and sort of got me thinking about this was uh there are a lot of communities in Florida and all over the United States that have what they call a citizens academy. Y
>> which is where citizens are come and they actually do a course with utilities department or police department or the fire department. So I started reaching out to communities and I actually have a meeting on the 10th um with um the uh
Orange County um the deputy mayor of Orange County to talk about their citizens advisory committees or sorry their citizensmies. A lot of the citizensmies are very police specific and are not, you know, not the entire city as a whole. Um, and I really wanted
to try and find something where we could citizens could be more educated about what happens here, processes, how the utility department, the, you know, challenges how it works, the airport, you know, these things that a lot of citizens don't know, myself included, um, until a couple years ago don't know
about to find a way to, you know, bridge that gap, create better education and better communication. And hopefully, I mean, I'm not going to lie, I really enjoy seeing what people think's happening with Wawa and Oh, >> right. The wind Dixie. But hopefully to
create a little less misinformation, disinformation out there on social media. Um, and take it away. >> Yeah, 100% what you said. Um, it basically is one way to organize the citizens, the residents, offer education
to where we're not just having to go through hundreds of hours of old, you know, city council meetings. We're not sure of the policies, the procedures, which types of meetings we're supposed to attend, which ones we're even allowed to attend, things like that. So, we're not just coming up here every other week
saying the same thing, asking the same question, not real sure if we're getting the right information. So, what it does is it's like the residents, they're coming together. They're saying, "Okay, let's go to the city. Let's get the education. Let's figure out how everything works." So, that way when we bring something to your attention, we're
a little bit more educated. Um, and we can collect our own uh information like if if there was a certain meeting and we decided three main topics that we want to discuss have something to do with utility rates or capital improvements, anything of that nature. First, we
already have the information we need to kind of understand where you guys are coming from. So, we're making better use of your time, better use of our time. um we can hopefully get to resolutions faster or even if someone has an idea or a resource, we'll now know what to look for and bring it to your attention. So,
I believe like Merida said, it's a great bridge the gap policy and it's something that we can do together as residents and come to you. >> Yes, >> chief. We we had uh citizen advisory boards at
Maring County Sheriff's Office and uh they would come in and meet with us and uh talk about concerns or things that they seen in the community or ideals. They would also review if we had cases or incidents that things that we could release and talk to them about that and they would provide us ideas on it. So,
it worked great. It was it was really a great tool and I hate to see it seeing that when it left, but uh I think this is something that will be very positive for the city of Willist. Uh I think it will bring the community closer with the council as well as law enforcement and
fire. Uh like Miss Mayor said, most of these groups are designed around law enforcement. Uh great thing for us is that we don't have that much as like a sheriff office going on that we need to have a advisory board all the time. But
it will be a great tool for us to use as well if this goes through uh for ideas and suggestions of what we can do better or better ways to educate the community on what law enforcement does as well. So I'm I'm I'm pro I'm pro for it. So
hopefully it goes through. I actually think it's a great way for us to write the ship. >> Yes, that that that was the general consensus like how can we help you and you help us and and better educate everyone involved and bring up new ideas, new resources or even if there is
something that's presented to you that maybe one of the you know um people on the board or somebody might have some background they can say you know if we can like you said for example let's table this please look into this. It's an idea that maybe you guys might not be aware of that we might have in our in
our back pocket. Um, so it just brings everyone together and >> and one of my concerns about the citizens academy was I didn't want to put a burden on an additional burden on our staff of having to organize it and schedule it. This is a little bit more
of a flexible as needed. this advisory committee could reach out to, you know, the staff and say, "We're trying to get more information on this. Can you direct this versus having it be a rigid citizens academy where you go and then you graduate, you know, you get this diploma and what do people do with it?"
you know, and this way and hopefully the idea is that you know, as as chair, vice chair, as different residents who come to the meetings get more educated, that information just goes out into the community um in a in an organic way.
>> It's not so much >> Mr. Barber starting on to what she said. But I I think it's a wonderful idea, but I wanted to just point to the council's um notice that on the wall here, there's
a blank spot on one of the plaques and it says citizens advisory. And the reason why it's up there is because according to Florida statute, there's CDBG, so the community development block grants that we apply for. We have right now, I think we just put in $13 million
for some uh this last week. It requires us to have public hearings and to bring on people for a citizens advisory in specific neighborhoods with specific socioeconomic uh data like how much they make and how expensive of a house they live in. I
think this is an incredible idea. I would fully support it as a staff member, but you guys are going to have to call it something else. I just wanted to point that out because the citizen advisory committee is required by the Florida statute in the CDBGs and has to have that title and we
already have that in place when we do the public hearings on the CDBG. So, I just want to make sure we didn't have confusion on that and that we didn't hurt ourselves on any kind of grant funding when it came to that. >> Thanks, Miss Farmer. Yeah. Call it a group instead of a
committee. >> You forgot. >> No, I didn't forget. What I wanted to say is comment on what Meredith said is that we're not educating them into what we want them to know. They're asking us for it for more information than we're educating them on what they want to
know. And I think that's the important difference right there. Gotcha. >> Thank you, Mr. Fuller. I just wanted to say one of the real advantages and you can you can attest to this. Many times you see one or two
people sitting in the audience and it is important that you all have input. You all sit in the middle. You all get input from department heads about the way that they would like to
see things. Likewise, you actually need to be educated about the needs of the citizens as well. And when you put those two together, you all become a better council. They're able to see and see what uh see what the two the two uh the
two entities are asking for and then uh maybe weigh it out in a more efficient and effective way. But so far you've had one side which is just the side of the departments. You've really not had the
side of the citizens except when there is a complaint. When there's a complaint, there's plenty of people come in and they complain. But we would rather head it off before the before it gets to be chronic or serious.
Have have regular input. And I think this is the way to do it. uh do it in a more positive manner where we're not really uh I guess in some time sometimes antagonistic because we are looking for certain things to happen
because it's impacting us. This is more proactive where we want to get it we want to get in early so that it becomes something positive rather than something that is uh more an emergency and more
antagonist. I definitely agree, but I I don't I don't think that um it's we got it one-sided because we do ask if there's any does anybody in the public have anything to say. If they're not here,
they really can't say anything. But this is going to be a good thing for when you have people on the outside who maybe can't make it to the meeting. They're not off in time, you know, whatever it may it may be. So, I like it as well. Um, yes, we do need to uh take care of
our house as well, but we need to take care of the entire city that governs this house, >> Madam President. >> Yes. Yes, sir. >> Thank you, >> Councelor Walker. I heard this alluded to. I did not hear
your comments on it, at least not that I could ascertain. If this is a citizens advisory group, they are constrained by the sunshine law. Is that accurate? >> Yes.
And as such, they should go to the ethics courses where they learn because they can I've seen this where they get in lots of trouble because they think they could just meet together any two of them talk about things and but under the
sunshine law every meet the only conversations they can have is with each other in an advertised meeting where the citizens are invited. Is that accurate? That is accurate. >> So what my concern is that we
>> Excuse me. >> Excuse me. >> Uh would you like to speak and I'll be quiet. >> Okay. >> Continue, Mr. Mayor. >> Thank you. Uh my concern is putting
people in a way and I know someone personally that was on a board and they inadvertently spoke about something after the board meeting was over and as a result they just
realized the trouble and they just resigned and they were good people and I'm not speaking against them. What I'm saying is if you're going to do an advisory committee, you must make sure
they get educated as to the sunshine law and what they are constrained by because it is if you go to another state and you tell them the sunshine law, they think you're nuts.
We have the sunshine law. It is duly noted. It is a law but it is got good points and bad points and we are constrained by it sometimes unwillingly
but I think it's important that the council take note that an advisory committee needs to be educated very well in the sunshine law so that they don't get discouraged and have to resign or be faced with some kind of
punitive Thank you very much. >> Thank you, sir. Mr. Pullet, you can come back. >> I'm wondering what is the difference between we have friends of friends of Canelius Williams Park. We're not constrained to
that kind of >> we were appointed by the council. >> Yes, we were because I stood up here and asked for the appointment. So >> I'm not sure we should be maybe I could
give an example president. >> Yes sir. >> In one of my other cities the we had a citizen advisory committee and they met and in this instance they were tasked with making changes to the land development regulations. So they met and
they considered it and they did not take minutes. They were not constrained by in their minds were not constrained by the sunshine law. They didn't advertise their meetings and they came up with a a
suggestion and that suggestion then was carried forth by planning zoning board and enacted as an ordinance by the city. The city then was sued because of the changes and they said it's void Aanio
because the originating group did not meet in the sunshine and did not take notes and did not do the things they needed to do. And so in in the course of that litigation there's a thing called a
toller cure. That's a case that involves toller. And if you then go back and do it in accordance with the sunshine, you can cure the problem. So we did that and we won a trial because we did a much
toler. But it exemplifies the issue that you can do things without really meaning to violate law, but violate the law and you can create this. And it sounds to me like this particular citizens advisory committee will be
making recommendations to this board. Hey, we need to change this or we need to implement this and that sort of thing. things that will be voted on that can become the law of the city through your ordinances or your resolutions. So
the difference is that perhaps this other committee that we're talking about right now may not have that kind of impact on your city. But this board certainly sounds like a board which will
be having an impact on on things that you do, things that you vote on. And so that's why when Mayor Goodman asked the question, should they be under the sun, particularly this board? Absolutely. Because they're going to be dealing with
things like that. >> Okay. >> That that that is the difference in delineation there. >> Thank you. >> Sure, >> Mr. Will. Did that answer your question? It does answer my question, but I think there needs to be more thinking on this
because that may not be what we were shooting for. So, it may be something that does need to be tabled rather than >> Yes, ma'am. It does say in the material that we received that they would meet a
place in city hall, that they would advertise their meeting, that they would have a secretary who would record minutes. It that's all in here. So that's why I have no problem with it. But you're right, they need to be educated on the sunshine law. They need to take minutes. They need to make
everything and they need to know that can't talk to each other any other time in that meeting. That's why we have so much trouble communicating with each other. Sometimes we have we can't do it. is bad. >> That's why when we're on two different ends of the spectrum, we don't know it
until we get here. >> So sometimes it's we look like we're not on the same ball field even, much less on the same page because we have different ideas and we have to come together when it's time to do something
together. And I think the only difference with the council and the committee is the fact that we're not actually you're not actually dealing with um finances and things that actually you deal with
things that affect the city but not in the way that we have to deal with it. So, it it's maybe a little bit easier to have people come and voice your concerns without feeling like, you know, you're going to hurt somebody's feeling by
saying this or saying that. So, and your intent is totally different than what ours is. We We are here to take what you give us and do something with it. And yours is to bring it to us so that we know what you're what you want to do.
and how to appropriately do that. Correct. >> So I guess >> Yes, ma'am. >> Um our question then would be I think do you guys want us to do a little more research and see if there's a looser version of this that would allow
um us to skate under the sunshine law. I don't mean skate under the sunshine law, but a little bit of a of a looser version of this, a little more in informal version that's worked in maybe another community where they would have a little less of
the rigidness required by the sunshine law or are you guys comfortable with us proceeding forward? Um, if you guys think we should and crafting this and the sunshine law would be part of it. >> I would say yes, just a second. I would say that it wouldn't hurt to research it
a little bit more and find out if that is possible. Then once you find whatever you find, speak with our attorney and make sure that we're not falling into a hole that somebody may not have seen. Um,
and go from there. Mr. Mayor, >> thank you, Madam President. Councelor Meridan, if I may use your first name instead of your last. Uh what we may be overlooking is the
citizens advisory board can be organized and made by citizens at which time it is not subject to the sunshine law if it is a group that is organized and started by
citizens who want to be it. And then the council can just recognize that they are a group of citizens that are they they're named themselves as advisory board so that they can get the respect
to approach the council about specific things. When the government gets involved in it is when it gets more difficult. If the citizens want to form an advisory board, there is absolutely nothing in the constitution that stops
them from doing that, it's when government gets involved that it becomes more difficult. >> And I think that that was mentioned in there as well. So there's options whether to have it done by the council
or them to just form it themselves. Miss Jones, >> I was going to say essentially the same thing. Um if we call it an advisory committee and we appoint you that's the totally that's when we call the sunshine. Uh if you have your own citizens group and appoint yourself as
president vice president and come and ask us for education I think without the caveat of having to deal with Well, then we need some legal review, which is what I was worried about when I saw it. We need some legal review.
>> I don't even know if you need legal. We may need them to just do it. >> And that's not a point. >> That's what >> and I know they can, but that may be what we need to advise them to do. And just know that we recognize you as a a
group who can come and ask us for education. But then if we we appoint you >> exactly and you can still meet together not here with the secretary not with the tape recorder because that becomes a whole different ball game. all of our boards over there.
That's the way they have to do it. >> So, yeah. So, if you guys would just go ahead and do your review, research, you know, come up with thoughts, plans, bring it back, and then let us look at it and that should be great. Mr. Penny, >> I just was wondering like couldn't
somebody like you get a group of people from the northwest side, the northsoutheast side and and then y'all come to a group and have Mrs. Meredith as the president since she already knows the sunshine law and everything. It's a conflict. >> We can't get in the middle of it. >> Okay. >> Okay.
>> All right. Yeah. We don't need to be in it if they're doing it themselves. >> It actually says in here that we're not a part of it. That we're not invited >> unless specifically invited. It says >> exactly. Exactly. Well, the idea is that the representatives that are going to be
on the committee or the board are going to be from different sections of the the entire, you know, city. Um, and then hopes that it can branch off into other committees that would represent things like small businesses and such. >> Exactly. Exactly. That's bringing a
positive voice. >> I 100% agree. >> And you may want to have bylaws as a group. >> Oh, yes. I I >> If you're going to do it on your own, you may want to do that. >> That's right. Exactly. If you want to specifically organize and write your
bylaws for that, that would be >> all right. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> We appreciate that and I appreciate the discussion. >> All right. So, we're going to go to item number eight, public participation. This
is the second time that you can participate on anything that we have not already discussed at the meeting. You have five minutes. I'm Joel Penny. Um, so I have reached out to Miss Sue for the past three weeks. I have not had no comment back
from her. She was supposed to talk to me last meeting from her secretary was told to me but never reached out to me. I have several questions. Uh, one of the questions is is regarding the clocking in system and everything. Is that for
the whole city? >> It's not active yet. Yes, it is. It is started. >> What did you say that? Clocking in. >> Yes. >> C O C K. >> Clocking in punching in. >> Punching. >> Yes. >> Yes.
>> I can miss I have asked for several weeks. >> Yes. It started effective October 1st, right? >> Okay. And is that regarding all employees? >> Hourly employees. >> Hourly. >> Yes. >> Okay. So, the police department? >> No. >> No. Not police and fire.
>> Not fire. >> This is city employees here. Public works, airports. >> How is that fair for the city workers? >> Well, the fire department is >> I'm just I'm just I'm asking and because >> how is it fair?
>> Those departments work under a different set of rules than the regular city. >> Okay. So, what happens when the people are on call? And >> I mean, >> is he getting paid when he takes the truck home and he's on call?
>> So on call is still handled separately. We want them to still go through CAD. >> Okay. >> Because they're paid differently if they get called in like on a, you know, Saturday at 3:00 in the afternoon. >> So there's no clocking in, right? >> Not for Saturday on call. >> Not for on call. Correct. Correct. So
we're talking a normal day. They come in at 7 o'clock in the morning and clock out at 4:00 in the afternoon. It's during that time or work over time. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Yes. Chief, there's still somewhat of a
on a clock in uh if you don't mind me speaking about it. Uh if they're on call and they get called out, they're going to notify our dispatch who's going to put them in the computer system and when they're done with that call and they're back home, she's going to take them out of that computer system. So, there is a
way to track it. >> Okay. So, and the airport they clock in and clock out. Is that correct? >> Awesome. >> Have you always clocked in and clocked out? >> I'm talking to Mr. Benton. >> You you started October 1st as well.
>> Uh yes, ma'am. We're we're waiting on um waiting on a couple of things back that Sue and I have have started to discuss and waiting on the system to be installed at the airport. Uh but we we've been doing roll call accountability for my entire time out at the airport. Um seems to be a lot more
effective for my team. You know, we also have if if there's ever any question to the accountability of my team, we have cameras installed on the building now. So, you know, at 7:30 if somebody hasn't walked in the building, we're going to know it. But I don't have accountability issues at the airport.
>> Right. Right. Okay. Sounds great. So I I would say for future if there's going to be changes within the city that we are aware that way we're not blindsided by citizens who know more about what's going on in the city than we do.
>> Sure. And this was something that was addressed in the report. Just I'm sure everybody know the report. That was one of the suggestions that came out of the report and it was something we've actually been working on for I don't know couple of months or so. So we just implemented as a result of the report. I
know that, right? So, for me, I knew that you were thinking about doing this. Um, and since we have not actually discussed the report, it probably should have been implemented until we actually had discussion. That would be my part. >> Um, but it's good to know.
>> Thank you. >> Do we have an idea of when we're going to discuss the report or discuss it? I know I need to meet with you. I don't know if anybody else had, but I haven't yet. Kirsten said she wanted to do it when she came back. Okay. Of course, she's on vacation right now. So, I assume the next
>> Thank you. Anyone else? >> There is nothing else. We will go to announcements. City manager, do you have anything? City clerk. >> Our local MLK committee is having a prayer breakfast here Saturday at 9:00.
It's a $20 donation. If anybody would like to purchase a ticket or if they would not purchase make a donation or if they just want to give a donation, I'm here to take it for them. Okay. For them.
Thank you, ma'am. Chief Rose, Chief Steagle, Miss >> No one else in staffing. Okay. Anybody from the council? >> Not a question. >> You have a question?
>> A question, but not announcement. Um, in your Sue, in your reports, um, you said you met with Southeast Groers. You want to expand on that? >> I really don't want to. We were asked not to at this point
by them. There is there's misinformation in the community. I will tell you that there's a lot of misinformation going on on Facebook, but we really were asked not to share the information when we were in a meeting with them. So, I would I would love to have that conversation with you personally. I don't want to
share the general public and all that. It's not true. >> Ask me. I can tell you. >> It's fine. Um, >> I have called them all today. So, I pretty much have information that they share. >> Is there any other questions?
>> Let me let me clarify something. what she just said was exactly right. The committee that met with a group was asked not to discuss anything with anybody. >> I didn't meet with her. >> I know I know who met with them. >> I don't think anybody's disputing that.
We were getting off of that. I was asking if there were some any other questions. >> I can I can tell you that any number of residents have asked me to as a city to post what we do know to be true. Not divulging things. We can't, but to tell
them things that we can tell them because of the total misinformation. They don't know who's coming and who isn't coming. I can tell you I myself called Wind Dixie today. Their date has changed from November 16th to December 12th. Uh I do know that. I do know what
else do I know. I talked to the manager. She told me that. She didn't tell me not to tell anybody. Um, she also told me she wasn't sure where they were going when they closed. I'll just leave it at that.
>> Yeah. >> Any other >> One more question. >> One more thing. a while back. Yes, it's been about a month, maybe six weeks. Apparently, there was a Doge report that was sent to us or or letter for
>> Doge request >> request. >> That was the second one, I believe, you're talking about. There was one when I first started here and then there was a second one. >> Okay. Where can we get a copy of it to read it
or what what was the outcome of it? Stephen submitted everything to them so I can request it from him. >> Okay. So, Latricia doesn't have it. >> Steven that did it. I'll I'll get something >> because if she's the keeper of records, we need to make sure >> she should have.
>> Thank you. >> Anything else from the council? Anything from you, Mr. Welcome. >> Mr. Mayor, >> I'd like to thank everybody for spending their life here tonight. And I would like to thank the council
for working so hard trying to do the right thing. And I would like to say God bless you all and go home and enjoy life. >> Oh, >> thank you. Item number 10, adjournment it. >> Can I get a motion? >> I move we adjourn.
>> Second. We have a motion and a second. All those any any discussion from anybody? Seeing none, I move to vote. All those in favor say I. >> I. All those opposed say n. Motion passes 4 to zero. Have a good night. It is 8:15
