Commission - Regular Meeting

Hey, can everyone hear me? Yeah. Can you hear me? Yeah, I got you. Yes.

Nice. All right. Uh before we get started with the uh agenda tonight, I kind of briefly want to go over a couple of items and I'm also going to bring them up at the uh city commission meeting. So, we had some uh and you're going to see essentially we have two separate legislative updates. One's going to be contained in the uh city manager report. The other one's going to be a presentation by Senator Rory Burman and uh state rep. Rob Long. Um those are going to be a broad overview. And obviously you guys know there's going to be a Q&A period during that. But what I want to do is I kind of want to go a little bit more in depth on some of those uh proposed legislations, specifically the one with the uh the 10% exercise. And there's some utility ones. I'm going to let um Adam Temple go into some of the building related ones for the building department. Um so that I just wanted to briefly explain like that's the difference. You're going to see a legislative update by our um state senator and representative and then you're going to see another one by uh me and Adam Temple and the city attorneys will probably weigh in as well. Uh those of you who remember probably about I want to say 3 months ago, Amanda, correct me if I'm wrong. When did we do the uh Bamboo Lane ILA?

Yeah, it's approximately three months ago.

So, we did an ILA with Bamboo Lane. And the whole reasoning for that was at the behest of uh county staff and the administration saying that like they'd be for an ILA agreement for Bamboo Lane. And we were exploring, we still are exploring, uh, annexation as far as like going out west and also some of our pockets out east. And we're doing that through the uh the water service agreements that allow us to do that. And the the city commission voted unanimously 5 nothing to enter into the ILA um to annex those parcels. And I want to say uh Amanda, was it 15 res residential uh parcels?

That's right. 15 residential lots.

Okay. 15 residential lots. So we sent that to the county and last week the county unanimously voted against that. So that was against city staff's re or uh county staff's recommendation. I want to make that clear. Uh county administration, they supported that. Um it was voted down. Um, I can say that that was disappointing because now what it what it's done is uh if in the event that we decide to go forward and use those water service uh agreements to annex those parcels, uh essentially that's going to trigger a most likely a legal challenge from the county. So, we're trying to work through some of that uh some of the backroom issues and work together with our county counterparts to kind of understand what their perspective um was. Um it was very surprising, I can tell you. Um we did a lot of work, a lot of compromising. I reached out to COBRA represent representatives. I spoke to the president of Cobra. I let her know that um we're trying to work with uh our county representatives to uh come to a compromise. So Cobra is not annexed into the city of Boon Beach. I know they've been v fairly vocal that they do not want to do that and this was essentially an olive branch per se to see whether or not the county was willing to compromise with the city to move forward. uh that did not happen. So, um I conveyed that to uh Miss Roth and I'm going to bring that up as well as a commission meeting. I'll probably be a little bit more uh tech granular in details, but I just wanted to let you guys know that's what happened. Not going to go in any further detail. I'll bring it up at the count at the uh city commission meeting though on Tuesday. Any questions as far as uh any

of that?

Thanks for the update. I appreciate it. All right. Hey, we'll move right on in. I just mentioned uh 3A, guys. Uh 3B, uh going to be a presentation on fraud in the community. And is Mike Caruso going to be doing this or Okay, I see his Walter Walter Buckus. So, he's going to be from the clerk of the circuit court and comproller. Essentially, there's been a lot of fraudulent phone calls and emails trying to solicit uh money from some of the uh individuals that have either ongoing cases with the clerk's office fines or uh some of the senior citizens in the uh in the county. Uh 3C is going to be a proclamation for child abuse prevention month. Four, public audience. All right. And then this is our uh anytime we uh we have an an election, we uh we pick new representatives um to serve on these boards. So 5A is going to be the uh COBRA representative. So you guys are going to be looked at to serve. Now, in order to cut down on the dialogue, we could essentially go through and look at maybe doing this now. However, I know Commissioner McCrae is not on. Yeah, we we don't have them here. So, okay.

I mean, if if maybe people want to say what they want to do, I'm just going to say for the record last year, I uh forgo the uh debate with Commissioner Cruz about the alternate for the TPO. And so, I'm I'm uh going to say it again this year. I would like like to do that based on the good faith I put forward last year. If Commissioner Kelly still wants to be the primary member,

I do. I have uh I've gone to all the meetings. I've um I've gone to some of the tours. Um met with representatives up in Washington on, you know, on transportation initiatives down here. So, I would like to stay on it. Um I I have enjoyed uh being on that. I would be fine with um I would be fine with you taking the alternate And then who's interested in brewing Cobra?

I don't mind if uh M McCrae um or if Commissioner McCrae doesn't want to entertain that. Okay. Given what he has to say on Tuesday along same thing with the U ML. Okay. Uh, okay. So, 3C is going to be a city commission representative, an alternate to the uh League of Cities. I'll do the alternate. I have to. Commissioner Kelly, you're you're gonna actually be on the board, correct?

Yeah. So, I was nominated to be on the board of directors for the as a large cities representative. So, I think that gets approved in the April meeting and then I'll be um sworn in um officially in May at that at the uh the lunchon that they do at the Kravis Center in May. Well, I can be the alternate if need be. I think this is separate, Dan. This is for the um this is separate. This is for the um like our district meetings, right? Right.

It's for the district meetings. So, what we did last time is when I was on the board of the League of Cities, I was also the primary representative since I was going to be there anyways because those board meetings are before those monthly meetings. So, it just made sense to run those as an overlap. Okay, that's fine. Um All right. code D is going to be I think Commissioner Kelly, don't you serve on the countywide intergovernment coordination program as well?

I do, but I um because of um because of no and because of the League of Cities now being on that board of directors, I um I am willing and and would be happy to have someone else. I know Rebecca has covered a couple of those um meetings as the alternate. So, I'm happy to to hand that over. It's been very light. Um they really have not had a lot of meetings. They usually meet quarterly. Um so, it's really not a heavy um lift, but um I'll take one.

Okay. We Yeah, we'll have to have an alternate probably can uh decide at the meeting. Commissioner McCrae wants to take it and I'm the alternate on this. That's fine, too. We can ask him. So, let him know. He has first dibs.

Yeah. And again, I'm open to revisit the conversation if anyone for all these if anyone wants to change their mind and getting uh Commissioner Craig involved. All right. So, uh, 5e is going to be advisory board appointments. So, you guys have five reappoints and two new appointments. So, two new appointments are going to be Anthony Dinardo for the art board and going to be Lisa Nicole Miller for the library board. Click on the first backup item. There we go. Perfect. Uh, who's running the mouse or who's running the It's gonna be Andrew. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We can just keep going down. Okay, there we go. So, All right. Is there anything else beyond uh that the third page? No.

Nope. We don't have any waivers or any requests like that, do we, Andra? I think there is a couple. There's a couple of waivers. Resides outside of city limits.

Okay. Does not live in the city. does not live in the city, not a registered voter. I don't think any of the ones that are actually up um are requesting waiverss. These look like applications that were received. That's correct. Right, Dan? It's Tammy. The two on the bottom there says applications received. They were sent waiverss and they never sent them back. Okay. Thanks, Tammy.

You're welcome. All right. Any questions on the advisory board appointments? Okay. So, we'll go uh uh into the uh consent agenda now. It's going to be the uh another one of our national opioid settlements with uh six remnant defendants. Um this is another um settlement that uh city attorney Shauna Lamb uh participated in. Not sure the actual monetary amount. Um if Shauna, if you're on, do you know how much it'd be? Or I guess maybe the police chief.

I'm sorry, I'm on. Can you repeat your question? I'd only caught half of it. Do we do you know how much this uh opioid settlement is going to be? No, they haven't said uh the total amount just yet and they are broadening what you can use the funds for except that thank god I don't I'm not exactly clear on what that is. So um right now I just kept it as limited to the education and stuff until I get that actual um policy of what that is which will be provided later.

Right. Got you. All right. So 6B is going to be approve and authorize the mayor to sign a second amendment to the grant block grant from the federally funded community development block grant mitigation offered by the Florida Department of Commerce for the city of Bo Beach Fire Rescue Station. So, this is essentially a hardening grant that we got. I want to say it was for 400,000 back in 2018. Um, and this is essentially changing all the doors and the bay doors that the fire trucks can't come out of. They're antiquated and we're going to be moving to a folding system, which is going to allow for faster response times. Uh 6C is going to be approving and revise exhibit A of an ILA between city of Boone Beach and uh community redevelopment agency. Essentially the dem the demolition of the inn ran over by $33,248. And this is going to um allow a CRA to reimburse the city for $33,248. I want to say it costed it costs uh 677,000 total. Uh if there's no questions on that, we'll move to consent bids and purchases 7A and that's going to be additional chemicals for the Westwater Treatment Center in the amount of $175,628 annually. Uh 7B is going to be a piggyback agreement between City of Bo Beach and Jennifer Landscaping of Florida. This is for our athletic parks. Right now, they've been still providing the uh park maintenance, I want to say, for the last 6 months absent a formal agreement, but we were able to uh find a piggyback with the city of uh is it village or I think it's village of Weston um in Broward County. So that's a piggyback and it's for 275,000. That's going to service all of our athletic

fields here in the city of Boone Beach. 7C is going to be a modification for services uh from originally approved by myself in an amount of 74,000 to add smart automated testing services for KOS work smart. And this is going to be a soul source procurement project and this is to test our new ERP system before we go live. Um Allan, you're if uh our CFO is on, he can um brief any more specific questions that you guys may have for uh 7C. You got anything to add Allan?

Yeah, I think the biggest piece of this right this is a critical safeguard for the for the implementation this automating testing. and really ensures the biggest piece of this is payroll errors and the data integrity failures that we've already seen within that they're able to test that they are the only provider that does this testing and work they actually use them. There's other 460 other organizations that use them um across the public sector. It's critical to the success because of all the software upgrades. So what happens is the software gets upgraded. it tests against payroll to make sure that hey is payroll going to run on Friday when it goes out. Does did the upgrade, you know, put a in the armor. It will automatically fix that and make it so that things happen in in in uh basically, you know, kind of a just quick to fix.

All right. Uh moving on, Amanda, you want to take uh public hearing items?

Yes, sir. We have two items on the agenda. They are both second readings. Item 8A um we got back from the state. This is the comprehensive plan amendment to add the policy which would allow us to develop um a program for a pay inlation program. Uh we got back approvals from the state and now it's ready for second reading. So that there's nothing there's no other changes to that item. Any questions on that before I move on to item B? Okay. Item B is also a second reading. Uh this is the item that we saw at the last meeting. This is a land development regulations amendment. It essentially has three components to it. The first is it's revising languages and references to the planning and development board which no longer exists within the process. So we are uh catching up the codes to what we are actually doing in practice. Um we are modifying the off streetet parking requirements to allow additional surface areas of permeable materials uh and adjusting the percent of permeability that that's allowed within the front setback. This is partly in response to um allowing expansions of driveways. And then the third item is um a small item that has to do with feather banners and signs. It actually only has to do with cleaning up some deposit and fee language because we have it duplicated within the code as well as within the fee schedule. Uh so we're also cleaning up the process and not requiring deposits. There have been no changes since first rating as well. And that's it. It's a light public hearing night.

So 9A I've already uh briefed everyone on. So 10 uh 10A for the regular agenda. This is going to be a uh RFQ award to uh Keith and Associates Association for Engineering Design for Environmental Review Services for in the amount not to exceed $2,74,000. They're going to be doing our heart heart of Boon design project and uh when that's awarded I think the total uh we got a $16 million grant for this project and I want to say it's a total cost of like 20 million and city's responsibility is something around $4 or5 million. Andrew, do you have anything to add to this one?

Uh no. Okay. And you want to go is Dr. cow caught on. Yes, I am. Dad, good evening. Hey, I want you to take 10B. I know I sat through that presentation with uh Jacob's engineering group, but I want you to uh go over um essentially what this is doing.

Sure. Um so this item is uh for if you all remember last year in January the commission approved our task one for um the project for upgrade of the two plants. So uh we got an SRF which is a state revolving fund principal forgiveness grant for 5.4 4 million and out of that they've spent 770,000 for looking at uh what water treatment options are best suited for the regulatory requirements in the future and also for efficiencies and so surfford. So they they've been doing condition assessment looking at what uh can they use some of the equipment or some of the processes that are already there or things have to be built new. Do we need to increase our um capacity at one plant versus other? What kind of alternative water sources are needed? So now they have come back with recommending uh what alternatives should be working and this is task two for not to exceed 4.6 6 01651 uh so around 4.6 6 million that is still using the SRF loan funds to do some more studying as well as alternative water uh source planning and design and permitting and then intermediate uh design of the west water treatment plant and then we will have we'll probably be not probably we will be coming back to the commission for additional tasks down the road with completing the design for the west water treatment plant and then design planning and design for the Eastwater treatment plant in the near future, but this will take us through the SRF loan. So, we're still using that money and we're not uh utilizing any of the CIP uh funds at this point. This is

all a reimburseable grant. So, we'll be working on that. So, really wanting to continue pushing forward with what we need to do with both plans. Uh if there any specific questions I can answer, we can do a presentation on uh April 7th, too. Uh, thanks Dr. Kcott. Appreciate it. So, both uh 10 C and 10 D, I'm going to allow the city attorney uh Shauna Lamb to uh go over both of those. Uh, specifically 10 C is going to be our new nuisance abatement um ordinance. So, we currently have on the books a chronic nuisance ordinance and in practice it's not very effective because you have to have multiple problems within a um a certain pine time period and then they the ordinance only gives them 30 days to act. So, um realistically it's not very feasible. So we have created a nuisance abatement ordinance which is really a police enforcement mechanism. It's run by the police department. So chapter 893 allows cities the ability to do this. So, if we have a house where there's some drug buys or a search warrant and then 6 months later there's more drug buys, we can then label that property a chronic nuisance. Um, they can either voluntarily comply with fixing the problem and usually what that hap what I find in most of the cases is their rental properties where the landlord's not even aware that it's happening. So, this is a way to put them on notice and

most of the time they voluntarily uh evict the person and that cleans up that problem. If they don't voluntarily do that, then we have the right to take them before the special magistrate. And if the property is deemed a nuisance, then we have certain um jurisdiction then at that time to require them to do certain things. And if they violate that order within a one-year time, then it goes back to the special magistrate who can order fines and penalties. But there's lots of things we can do with this. It helps um getting your gang activity, your prostitution, and your drug activities down throughout the city. And I think that that will um help the city overall. And this is also used in many other cities. Palm Beach County has one, West Palm Beach has one, Lakew Worth has one, Rivier Beach has one. So I think this will be an effective tool for the city. Are there any questions about that? I believe a PowerPoint is being uh put together for the commission. Um you know obviously we want to show that you know these this is not just somebody a code enforcement issue. This is going to be you know the drugrelated activities and then the high crime where this gets kicked into place.

Okay. Is there uh thank you for for the presentation. Is there any um litigation at all going on with regard to this? I just saw um I think two days ago there was a video about our other ordinance and and they were talking about how one of the uh residents suing the city. Is there any of that with regard to the similar types of ordinances with chapter one? So for point of clarification, I think that news article was related to an ordinance I think back in 2018, not the parking ordinance, the one that you saw, Commissioner Cruz, was related to a a commercial truck in I think a single family residential driveway. Yeah. Yeah,

which isn't the new ordinance that we had passed regarding the um parking in the street. I I did talk to Dan about that and it seems like this is something that's been ongoing that the media just decided to, you know, conveniently highlight, so to speak.

Actually, I I want to add one thing about that article. Um he was cited by the special magistrate. He was represented or by the code enforcement. He was represented by a lawyer. Um, my office, George Logos, handled that case and we won. So, when he says he's suing the city, there is no actual lawsuit unless he's intending to appeal the special magistrate order, but nothing of that has happened. So, I don't I think they got it wrong and you know, I don't know if it's because he misunderstood the process, but um but this will have nothing to do with that. This has to do with, you know, the house that, you know, someone's dealing drugs out of and the cops keep making busts, but they keep dealing drugs out of it.

Yeah. What what I what I want to I want to kind of piggyback off of what uh the city attorney and also Vice Mayor Turkin said. Everyone on this call has seen um the onslaught of neg negative media attention and I'm some of these stories are going back 10 and 12 years and it's we're we've been getting inundated with public records requests and there is no transparency with the media as far as like some of the some of the things that have being that are being represented. And I can tell you one of the stories that I read, there was one uh small line at the very end of the story that basically said the former HR director was being placed on administrative leave after the whole story was all about the lawsuits and the appeals and things like that and it's just not telling the So I'm going to work with the city's legal department, try to get with some of these editors that work at work at some of these publications and see if we can find out exactly what's going on. Why are we being inundated with like five 10 different articles? Uh, one of the ones about Vice Mayor Turkin went back two years ago on a case that's been closed for a while and it it it just seems like it's it's being purposely driven almost like there's a uh a narrative being being uh pushed. So, I gotta I gotta work with the city's legal department and also our PIO to figure out exactly what's going on and why these specific um journalists are pushing this because I almost feel like there's got to be some sort of personal relationships in the background that are causing the these type of stories.

Well, Dan, go ahead.

Thanks. Um so what WPTV in particular what they started doing they started this um this initiative kind of this um like let's hear it or community talks or whatever and they have these gatherings in various cities you know throughout the county and they gather all day like they were at the soup and I'm sure that's when this story when they met this gentleman they did us they were at the soup kitchen in West Boon for 10 hours last like a week and a half, two weeks ago and they want the community to come out and come and talk about your problems and then we're going to see if we can help you figure out your problems. And they've been doing this now for a couple months where they go all around the county to various cities. They meet with residents. They hear the residents woes and the issues they're having and then they go on this quest to try and be the heroes and fix the problems. But they're not getting they're not getting they're doing maybe a public record request and getting data, but they're not actually talking to, you know, anyone at from what it sounds like at the municipalities or even at the county to see what the true issue is. They're just posting this and it's ending up I mean it's just it but that's how that's how a lot of these stories are coming out is they're doing this like community speaks thing.

Understood. All right. And then I I got a little concerned um when I when I heard there was litigation about this thing because I wasn't aware of it. So then I was worried about it. Uh but it's I'm glad to hear that that's not the case.

No, no one was aware of it. like I was just as I think uh Commissioner Kelly was the first one to send me that story and then I I got with uh VI our um assistant city manager um Adam Temple and he basically told me that this was a magistrate case that had been working from an ordinance back in 2018 and it it goes along the line of they did another Sims case or uh story from I want to say uh Andrew Matt who's been with the city 17 years when he was the building um the the the building director. He was talking about that was originally his case. And so these some of this stuff is going back decades or eight years and and there they were they ran a story about Summit Drive or the parking ordinances that were that were picked. it and in the background it's a constant barrage of public records requests which we have no issue um fulfilling those requests. But what it's doing is it's causing a a um disruption in normal city operations that it's it's inundating so much that we're going to have to start charging for these documents that are being produced. And there's no way around it because it's it's getting to be that that cumbersome of a process. And I can say that um the the journalists are the same over and over and over again. So

yeah.

Yeah. It's a parasitic industry unfortunately. um to to pivot. Um Shauna, with the with the nuisance abatement um ordinance, what what is the um what is like the threshold for violations for it to be then designated uh with that status? Like for example with like the with the drug dealing if there's um if there's you know con continued like um I guess drug dealing or maybe like loud parties or like you know whatever heinous violations there may be like what where where's like the line drawn in the sand?

Yeah. So it won't cover loud parties. So, um, let me There's two I'll tell you.

Unless there was some type of criminal activity there, like if people are like rolling dice or gambling, like maybe not rolling down like operating like a casino or, you know, some type of like underground gambling, you know, environment. Does that fall? going to be um repeated drugrelated activity, prostitute related crimes, criminal gang activity, certain theft or fencing, um activity related to pain management clinics, and showing a pattern of ongoing nuisance activity, which is usually felony activity. So, your gambling would fall into that. Um but they have to have two violations within a six-month period. So, it it

gives us two within six months. It gives us and that covers sex trafficking as well. That falls in there somewhere. What' you say? That falls in sex trafficking falls in there somewhere. Well, that if it's a felony, yes. But understand these have to be documented um crimes. Now, they don't

they don't require um conviction, but usually an arrest or a police report relating to it. So, the difference, let me just explain one thing real quick. The difference, the problem we have with chronic nuisance is it required two offenses within a 30-day period, and that made it very difficult where this is giving us two offenses within a six-month period of criminal activity of criminal activity. Correct. Okay. And there need And there's there's got to be a police report, you said. So, it has to be So, is it just a police report or a conviction? Please my question. Okay. Yeah.

But I mean like because anybody can make a phone call and say, "Oh, we have an issue with this." How do we say like I I mean I I have a little bit of I I can see it from both sides that right. So understand when they're going there and someone let's say someone calls and says my neighbor's dealing drugs, they then have to do an undercover investigation, right, and do drug buys there. Those will be documented. And then there is a search warrant that is done that is authorized by a drug by a judge.

And the search warrant goes in and if they find drugs, then that's going to be your offense number one. If they do another search warrant in six months, then that will be your um offense number two. These are not just people can call and say anything. There has to be actual documented evidence and usually you know these come from undercover investigations and you know these investigations reveal these properties and then they you know they stay on top of them. Does that make sense? a bit of a

No, that makes sense. I think that uh that kind of like calms the nerves of like people just calling and being like, "Hey, they're doing this over here." Um would this would fall under any property just not just like a a long-term lease, you know, or an occupied property from a homeowner, but for example, Airbnbs, they they tend to have some nefarious activity sometimes. And so if if if there's a you know, god forbid there's some form of like human trafficking, you know, or prostitution going on, then then then the next, you know, months there's drugs going on at that site, that would still fall even though it's different tenants that are

short. This covers not only residential property, but it also covers commercial property. So like the hotel we used to have here where we knew there was a lot of prostitution going on, we could have deemed that if we had had this in place a nuisance and then been able to control the type of tenants they were able to rent to if we had had this in place. We we didn't have that in place at the time. So this will apply to maybe drugstores where they we know they're standing in front of the building selling drugs, doing things like that. as long as they're on the actual property and not say on a public sidewalk in front of the store. So this okay

this is a strong mechanism. Okay, perfect. Thank you. Thank you for putting that together and and I I think um John Bonafare is doing a PowerPoint but if not then you know we can certainly do that to kind of assuage the public fears as well. you will have a PowerPoint.

Okay. Okay. So, with regard to item number D, remember we brought up that the community redevelopment agency was um board was advisory board was created by reszo. This is just um creating it into an actual ordinance that we received direction from the board for that. And that's what that does, right? All right, guys. And that uh that concludes tonight's uh agenda review. Um unless there's any

Yeah, real quick. I have something that I want to uh see if I can get consensus for us to talk about it. Um a couple months ago we approved um an addition on to Feeding South Florida which is one of our nonforprofits that feeds you know our community and and out through the county and they reached out to me because because of the size of the addition that they're putting because they're not it's not a brand new building. they're adding to what they already have, but because of the size, they have um art requirements because of our ordinance. And I I wanted to see if there was a a consensus to maybe ask staff to look at when we're talking about not for like true not forprofits that literally money that could be going to feed our residents and would be going to an art fee or painting art in an industrial area that no one is. It's not on a major road. It's back in an in an industrial area. what we can do or what staff recommends we can do to maybe, you know, whether that be a discount or something or pay instead of the RV fee, maybe they provide services to our residents, you know, and like I just I wanted to bring that up because it was mentioned to me um because, you know, obviously those funds would be funds that would be coming out of you know, they wouldn't be able to provide you know, that amount of services. So, because it's a true not forprofit. Um, so I wanted just to run it by um you guys to see if we could have consensus to have ask staff to to look at what you know options might be out there for for something like that.

I agree.

Yeah, I'd be okay to look at like a like an overview of the the art fee regarding nonforprofits. I don't think we can pick and choose which ones. I think we got to give it to everyone that's reg because from my understanding nonprofits just it's u it's it's a filing a 501c3 that and then they can be a nonprofit what their mission is is subjective and then you know subject to interpretation but uh I'm okay to do that and I don't know about like like like tick for tac for the art fee and then produce services. I'd be okay with just like looking at like waving it because we got into that. Well, we didn't, but we had to kind of fix that with a CRA item not so long ago that I think didn't work out well for like trading the services. But I'm more than happy to uh support you, Commissioner Kelly, in reviewing that and just looking at, you know, whether that's minimizing it or waving it completely so that way we can accommodate um you know, with with those nonprofits.

Okay. Thank you. Yeah, I just think, you know, when it's an industrial, if it's on if it's on Congress Avenue or if it's on like a major roadway, I can see the, you know, the the the point of having the art, you know, in installed or something. But when it's in an industrial area that no one's going to see it anyway, it's kind of like, you know, what are we what are we what are they doing it for? Who are they doing it for? So, okay. Yeah. I think I think this comes from a really good place and I and I think it's good. I would just say that if

I think I do agree with looking into it. Um can we at the same time maybe have legal look at it and make sure that we're not opening a can of worms with the reason I'm saying it is because if we wave it for one individual or type of entity then could we have another different type of entity say well you waved it for them why don't you wave it for me. So just to cover ourselves in that regard. But yeah, I do think it's a good idea. Hey, Commissioner Kelly, when did you want to have this discussion? Um, when staff has it prepared? I mean, I Okay, we assume that Amanda has to work on, you know, doing some research and looking at options and and things like that. So,

yeah, Commissioner Kelly, I could add just a couple of points um for the conversation. And we recently did a revision to that ordinance to give a discount for the pay in lie of providing art. Um so the art they they aren't required to provide art. They are required to either provide art or they get a discount for payment into the program. That doesn't mean that the art will be placed at their property. It is just contributed into the program for the city to then expend on art around the city. Um, but we can look at options for like further discounts for nonprofits or I mean we could look into waiverss too. I think it's a slippery slope to go that far, but I can look at some options and what some other programs are doing.

Okay, that would be great. Thank you. Hey Tammy, on item D, that should have a date of May 19th on it. Noted. I'll make the change. Thank you, ma'am. You're welcome. All right, guys. Any further questions before we end tonight's agenda review? No. Thank you. No. No. Thank you. All right. Have a good night.

All right. Thanks everyone. Oh, no. I got one thing. I got one thing. I got one thing. This is for all the commissioners and staff. Uh, probably Adam. So, I was at the uh the veterans uh habitat lunchon yesterday, and it seems like they're going to be doing all six of their homes for veterans build this year as Buon residents. So, what one of the things I was kind of like um spitballing to Dan yesterday was like maybe maybe all the commissioners and the mayor reach out to um some of their constituents or veterans in need and see if they'd be interested in this and then maybe we get with staff, produce that list to them and have them coordinate with um I guess we're going to take it out of there.

What's that? Bye. Oh, somebody on the phone. She's on the phone. T Tammy, I'll I'll I'll mute her. Um, and then get that to staff. That way they can coordinate with Habitat because I know like the last year or two like we're kind of scrambling and so now that we have this information, I think it'd be good to uh you be more prepared this time.

We definitely have enough people in need. It's just a matter of finding the right one. Yeah, that's uh that's that's not an issue. Um but real quick, I want to address the uh flock contract. Uh I believe I believe it was the safe cities. So um our renewal for uh our red light camera program is coming up and we were going to utilize the funding from that program to fund the flock contract out of the city city's 103 fund. Um, that's the reason why you guys aren't seeing that contract come back. Um, once I have confirmation of funding or there's not confirmation of uh funding, then we'll either decide to bring that contract back or we'll decide to uh not bring it back.

I just wanted to be transparent of why why you guys aren't seeing that. All righty, guys. Have a good night. All right. Yep. Thank you. Good night.
