Commission - workshop

Then, if you don't mind, before you connect, I'll have to change my use. I was looking to see if I could make a discussion about some of the topics included in the next agenda. The first one is a discussion about cameras in the town of Boone Beach. I would like to hold that meeting on Wednesday. If possible, I think we can come up with more ideas or suggestions later. Yes, I don't mind holding that meeting. I don't mind either. Okay. Secondly, I would like to discuss briefly about the rights and procedures of the Commission, which is responsible for the administration of a party in the CET Commission. I would like to give the CET Attorney the necessary legal guidance on the rights, restrictive laws and procedures of the Commission, which are under the Charter. I know some examples of other municipalities. I don't think we have such a government program. Surfside, Miami Beach, Hollandale, North Miami Beach are some examples. So I would like to make a statement on that. It would be good if we had time to conduct an inquiry into the legislation on Wednesday.

That's why I don't have a problem. I can check that. There is no problem. I know that there is nothing in our charter. But I can check the things in other cities and the legal precedents. Commissioner Kelly. Yes, that's good. Only if the law department is ready to speak. Because I don't want to have an unconfident discussion.

Shauna, do you think you can prepare it by Wednesday since there is nothing in the Charter? Yes, this was discussed briefly earlier.

There is nothing finalized in the Charter, and I was not interested in moving forward in the final discussion. But I will definitely investigate and prepare what other cities are doing. Do you need a memo before the meeting? Yes, Wednesday.

Yes, God.

Okay. So, you can send me a memo. But do it only on Wednesday morning. Because I have an appointment tomorrow. It is Monday. I am planning to do some work in this week. I will complete it. Okay. Thank you. Okay.

Are you done? Are you done? Ahal, Vice Mayor.

I think that's it. Then there's one more thing. Tommy, I have a request for you. Can you send it to my mailbox, Dan? I think it's for a community support fund. Ah, yes, no problem. Yes, are you available tomorrow? Let's see if we can send it there tomorrow. Yes, I'll be there tomorrow. Okay. Okay, good. Let me say it very quickly.

I'm not sure if we talked about re-examining our board ordinances, especially the national board ordinances related to city-wide elections, because I noticed it when I went home. We can understand the situation of those who are residing in November, but many of the boards are still in many places in the city. That's why I think there are strict rules in other cities where citizens have to tie a bond for such protests. Oh, there is a law about his removal. Now this is a problem for all protests, isn't it? Yes, it's not clear now.

Previously, a person asked about this. The way it is made is not clear. So, when it is not clear to anyone that this is a problem, I am acting with a little more attention. So, my advice was that CET elections were enough. So, if we want to break the law, we have to re-examine it. Aha! Yes, I had to make this a problem for everyone, because when I was running the protests, all my judicial officials had to go to each municipality and sign a bond. So, this should not be limited to one official, I again sought the opinion of the commission.

I feel that it is not right to make this a problem only in the city. But the state representatives come and set up boards without the permission of the local authorities, they can be seen everywhere, then they do not remove it.

So, I have a small question. Is there an agreement on this? Is there an agreement to include this as a discussion topic or should I prepare it in person and bring it in October?

I am referring to Commissioner Kelly. Yes, I don't have a problem with that. Commissioner Kelly, since you agreed to this, you can do whatever you want.

Yes, I think we can be prepared for a discussion on the changes in the ordinance. I don't think we should have big discussions and come back only because November has been decided. I know that the boards are done with this, but I'm saying that we should have a law in place to remove the boards. Okay, yes. That's why I think...

The next festival of this month is September 16th. It's a very short time. That's why I'd like to have it discussed in the first festival in October. If that's okay with you. Yes, I'm fine with that. Okay, that's good. Yes. I don't know if we can give them a notice about the bond. It's not going to happen before November.

So let's make it happen from January 26th. Those who want to put up boards will have to tie up the boards. But now, they have to make a notice to remove the boards. Because I know that no one is going to put up new boards now. The past is the past. Yes. Yes, I agree with that. But do you think it will be possible for the part that removes the boards to come into effect immediately?

Okay, I will announce it on the first Thursday of October and on the second Thursday of the second Thursday. That is, they will have to cancel it by November. But I can make it happen only on the 16th if I have to. The time is very short.

Other municipalities spend 5 days in Wellington and 10 days in other parts of the city. It takes 10 days to choose between gardens and boca. Yes. Okay. Decide whether you want to conduct the first speech on the 16th. Yes.

Things are difficult without two weeks of time. But we will try to complete it. Yes, because next week we have to announce about that meeting. Yes, for example, our... I would like to fix that. It is better to do it on the first day of October.

Then it will be fixed. Then, if there are any changes to be made or if we are in a situation where we do not agree, We can hold the first or second meeting at the beginning of October. So... Okay. I don't want it to turn into a discussion. We'll have to come back and talk about this again. You know, right? I'm sure. I want to make sure you're fine during this time. Yes, yes, no problem. I mean, I don't mind if we talk about the bond. I understand that. But if we want this to work, then we can give a so-and-so. Hey, you have to change your boards yourself. So... Okay, okay. Thank you. Then I feel that things need to be done a little more clearly. You're right, Commissioner Kelly. Because they're setting up boards near the Woolbright Market without permission, right? That's what's going to stand there for another three months. So, okay. They're violating their own rights. At the same time, I bought it from everyone and did it. I set up a big board. If anything happens to me, I bought it with permission to show it. That's what's needed. Right? Yes.

Okay, let's move forward, Dan.

Okay, let's start from day two. We have added in budget bills, fees, schedules, utility bills, and millage bills. We have already implemented both of them. So, I have to ask the Commission whether the public opinion should be made before or after these bills.

It is difficult to say the answer. Will they come back? My only wish is that if things are decided after we hear the public opinion, is there any way to resolve it? Is there a chance to resolve it? That's right. That's my problem. If we don't see this now, how will the decisions we make be?

On September 16, we will definitely announce this again. So if the commission wants to make any changes, it will definitely get time. So we are bringing it. I want it. Yes, I think September 16 is our second meeting. Yes, so it will be enough after the meeting.

Because they will be able to see the announcement then. Another thing is that if they are looking for public opinion before the announcement, they may not have seen the announcement. Then they may be talking about things they read on Facebook or online. Otherwise, it's not about the things we announce. So I think it's better to do it after that. I agree. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yes. Actually, Stacey and I talked about this. We first wanted to conduct these public opinions on the budget and then go to a general meeting with public opinion and other things. Okay, okay, I got it. So let's start with two Bs.

This is determined by our millage budget, which I think is 7.42. That is the rollback budget. Therefore, the current budget starting from October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027 is accepted. Therefore, if there are any more opinions on this, I know that we have talked about this in the budget art schools. I know that there are some changes in the budget. I will tell you about those changes shortly. After that, some of our impact fee funds have been taxed. I think that the impact fee for the park is about 2.5 million dollars. We got some funds in our impact fee. I think that there are some changes in our CIP funds, especially in 302. You can see that there are about 25 billion changes there. This is the result of the fire department that we stopped for three different reasons. It was organized by the county. So, because we were thinking about the city, the county and the Agnishamana army in Tamil, those things did not move forward in the budget. But since the new budget did not happen on October 1st, nor on September 30th, nor before, some changes can be seen in the line items. Alan, can you explain anything about things? Then they will get a little more clarity, right? Yes, we can test it. We have prepared a deck. It will be enough if Tommy or Fabio join. That's the deck on the ground floor. I'll start from the ground floor where we were on June 30th. Fabio, do you want to share that deck? Of course. Yes, I can share the deck right now. Please go to the second page. Okay. If everyone remembers the actual budget workshop in June 30, there was a decrease of $2.7 million through millage, and a difference of $1.2 million with a decrease of $1.5 million through the fire assessment. Let's see how it was reflected in the overall budget. Fabio, can we go to the next page? Alan, let me stop this for a minute. Okay. The red line below is the money we actually took from the fund balance. That was our main deficit. We were short of $1.8 million to balance the budget. In the last slide, you can see that we did not take anything from the fund balance. Even in the rollback, we have fully balanced the budget. Continue, Alan. Certainly. As he said, the big deal you gave to the finance department was to avoid the return of $1.8 million from the fund balance. So we conducted some tests and the fire and PD departments accepted a very accurate statement in their budget. At the same time, it was necessary to ensure that the coal and coal were brought back, right? So the coal and coal of the people had to be brought back. So we agreed and through that effort we can move on to the next page, Fabio. Here you can see that the millage and fire assessment have moved to Poojam Deshamsham 8. According to the update received from the county when the millage went forward, it increased from negative 2.7 to 2.5, making it worth $2 lakh. In addition, the last report received from the consultant as a fire assessment also increased to 2.0. Thus, we have a growth of $4,00,000. That is why on June 30, instead of 1.2, we see a negative 0.8 on this page. Let's see how this is reflected in the overall general fund. Please go to the next page. In the history of the city, if we look at the column before the end on the right, we can see that we are 2 million dollars short of last year's budget, which is 1.4 percent short. I have heard that this has not happened in the history of the city, but we are still 2.5 percent short of the previous year. So, the team that made it possible won. You can see that there was a 4.3% increase in revenue. We had a 25-year rollback. In addition, we put in $7.2 million out of what we had earned. But through the creative finance and other meetings we discussed, we were able to earn around $3 million per song. The fire assessment was around $1.7 million. We earned around $1.7 million through the efforts we made over the past year. We had planned shortcomings in the administration of the police department. So, those numbers reached around 2 points. Now we are in Pooja, that is, we have made a budget of around $2 million per year. So this is really amazing. This has never happened in the history of the city. Do you have any questions? Dan, do you have anything to say? Let's move on to the next page. Now I will move on to Fabio. He knows more about the entire fund collection. He will tell you where we are standing. There are a lot of negative signs, meaning that there is a year's gap. It is about $73,000 less. Certainly, most of it is capital improvement funds, but this is a good thing for the organization. The budget for the entire city has also been reflected in the report. The main reason for this is that the single purchase for the third day of the budget was avoided during the three-year budget survey, and profits were made through it. Then, the deficit you see on the screen also reflects the deficit between CIP and CIP. The reason is that our cash flow has stopped. That cash flow has ended. The budget of the CIP has also been reduced by three years. In the short term, the total budget decreased to $73.4 billion. This is a decrease of 16.2% in the entire city budget. There are more details below, but if you ask a commission or someone else about this slide, I can explain more. Thank you, Fabio. Welcome. Okay. Then, do I have to complete this presentation? There are a few more slides. Ah, yes, you have to describe one in short with C, C, D, D. Fabio, about the appropriate fees, schedule and utility. EE, i.e. Canal Services Special Assessment, we don't have to look at it now. Then, about the fire assessment fees, F, F, I will handle it. So, if you describe C, C, D, D, I will be grateful.

That is still shown in the presentation itself. It is not shown in the agenda. I don't know if you meant that. Yes, no.

Tommy, you have to go back to the agenda page. I think so. Isn't it Andrew who has to do it? No.

Yes, show me. See, see.

I think that the only increase in our fee schedule is 2.76% CPI or 2.6% CPI. Then we have one. Didn't you say that there is an increase in the fee for the Karamaliniya Combatter that we are putting in? Andrew. That's right. Most of the fees have been increased. Fabio has a list on hand. He can explain about the affected facilities. The employees of those facilities can also talk about it. Right. That's right. Therefore, there are changes in many facilities in the approved fees schedule. They include utilities, sanitation, development, fire, police, arts and cultural center. So, if the Commission has any questions about these proposals, we can ask the directors to answer them. Then, I would like to say that utilities will make special announcements about the proposal for sustainability. So, that is also in the agenda. The proposal for sustainability is related to living expenses. That's right.

Can we quickly take the CET schedule? I want to see that. Don't pay attention to see if anything is in it.

Let me make a small comment, Commissioner. The fees schedule is available. But this is a big rate. There are about 67 pages. Oh, right. That's why we need to... Fabio, there are 13 to 17 pages about the investigation.

I need to think quickly. It's not very detailed. Let's look at it later. I understood about the investigation. That's necessary. What are the fees in the fire department and the police department? You need to know what is in those documents. Then, There are some fees related to the investigation in the fire department. According to my knowledge, they have been examined. As well as, the police have updated the special duty rules. Then, It would have been nice if we could get the help of directors who can explain more about this.

Cheap Julia or?

If you look at this, I can talk to Alan. I can talk to Alan or Adam and discuss. I want to know why this fee is increasing and who is affected by it. We have already decided on the fees and schedules before this. Then she came to check again.

That's why I... Commissioner Kelly, can you give me a minute? Is there anyone from the police department at this time, Andrew True? Most of the fees we are talking about are small fees. That's not a big amount. However, there has to be someone from the top of the police department. So, quickly...

When you are ready, when you are ready for that, we can call Don. Call me at the end. When you are ready, if you are interested, the fire chief is ready to help you.

In the case of the police department, duty fees have increased from $50 to $75 and premium fees have increased from $50 or $60 to $85, but the records have not changed in the alarm fees. Commissioner Kelly

That's right. That's why I can speak to anyone offline. I want to know who has the necessary fees. That is, I want to make sure that our businesses have the things that the detail officers require. I want to make sure that there is a proper basis for it. We do not raise fees just to increase the unnecessary burden to our businesses. That's why I can speak to anyone offline. Okay. Thank you. Understood. I want to get involved in this. Anyone? Fire Chief is here. Hello, Chief. If there is anything that is of interest to you, yes. Can you briefly explain what has changed and the reason for it?

Yes, most of it is still the same. But the changes have to be made with the help of other fire departments of equal size. They are not a big deal. They are just to stop a crisis. Then, as Fabio pointed out, we are conducting a lot of research and re-inspection, but we are not getting the fees required to pay the cost and time of the living. So, to be more fair to the city, that is, when we calculate the cost of research in the fire prevention department, we had to increase the fees to pay the cost to the workers working there. Let me remind you again, Commissioner. This is agreed with the Fire Rescue Agencies in Ayalpak. Okay.

First of all, this is for re-investigation. If they have to re-investigate, they have to include that re-investigation. Is that what you're saying? Yes, that's right.

Then, when we went to a special village, there was an incident that happened in the property village. That's why the fire marshal has to keep some of these properties separate. On the other hand, even if the inspection department goes to inspect 7 or 8 buildings in a community, they only get one inspection fee. But when you look at other departments, they pay special fees for each building. That was mainly due to the software problems we were facing. But when we make a request to other parties that we are paying the right fees based on the property prices, we have to update the ordinance in a way that it reflects where we are. Okay, good.

Thank you.

Commissioner Kelly, do you have anything to ask about the PD fees? Chief Deweley seems to be coming with us.

No, Alan told me. I'll talk about it offline. I'm fine. Okay. Do you have any other questions? No.

Okay. Then okay. Do we have any information about the fire assessment? I think it's almost clear. From 145 to 170, the problems or concerns about it have been made clear by Cheap Bruder. Yes, if you have any questions, you can ask them. I don't have any questions. I don't have any questions. 3A is Hunger Action Month. We need a change on 5A, because November 3 is the day of the general election. The CET Commission meeting was also scheduled the same day. Therefore, we need to look at another issue that is important to the Commission. Excuse me, Dan. The sound got cut off in the middle. Can you explain that one more time? Apollo 5. Everyone is going to vote on November 3rd. Understood. So, we have to postpone the commission meeting so that the vote is not interrupted. Understood. We can discuss it on Wednesday.

Yes, okay. We can do that when everyone is there. Okay.

Then enter it in the advisory board. Tommy, can you please explain the rules of the advisory board? That's all clear. Table. There is a person named Ellen Jones on the Senior Recreation Park Board. Do you have any questions? No. Okay. Then from R to C. These are our grants. A is for 85,000. B is for 1,69,000. C is for 5,053. There are no questions about law enforcement grants. We can move on to consent bids and purchases. 7a. Is Dr. Kahl in line?

Good evening, I am Dan, I am here. Good evening, A and C are the same. Yes, that's right. EZHI is a pipe bursting method that we use in Lora Hills. We have started to use this CIP lining method to reduce the length of the pipes and to avoid large holes in them as they normally run. Therefore, the residents in that area will not have great difficulties. Therefore, it is a little easier and faster. We have started it. In these methods, we have received some funds. Therefore, we are trying to make the most of it. Therefore, the first one is 5,60,800 dollars. We are ready to take this project forward. Second is 7C. Do you have any questions about 7C? No. Okay. That's why ELC is a program mainly for generator maintenance services. These services are for water treatment plants, all lift stations, generators or bypass pumps. Since some upgrades had to be done, we had to come to this point. The panels of some generators were difficult to read due to sunlight and other reasons. So we had to make some changes to the panels. For that reason, we had to increase this cost. This is a one-time expense. We need to increase this cost so that generators are ready to be used in the future. If you have any questions about that, please let us know. I don't have any questions. Thank you. Okay, let's look at 7B.

This is our property insurance. Two years ago, we lost a lot of money. I have more information about these numbers than others. I can tell you that our property insurance amount was 2.6 billion. We have been in debt for two years. To avoid any damage to the city's property, we made sure that the amount was about 2.6 billion from about 4 million dollars. That is, every year it is $10,000. It is a PIDGET card. So, if you have any questions about property insurance, this is the official coverage we give to all the properties in the city. Okay. Let's scroll to Public Hearing. So, This is related to the regular changes that took place from July 1 to the month of July. If you have any questions about this issue, Shauna is here to talk to you. But if there is a regular change in our decision that we should not allow houses to be built in infill lots, then we are only making sure. So, we have to make sure that we are following that legal change. Then, 8b. This is related to a 20-story road. I don't remember which road it is. Andrew, is it MLK? Is it MLK? I know that it is a North-East part of North-East. Was it the 8th part of North-East? Was it the 12th part of North-East? Was it the 13th part of North-East? No, it was the 8th. It was the 8th avenue of North-East. 8th and Federal. Yes, 8th and Federal. So, then, Can you remind me what those tools were for exactly? Yes, it was according to the description of the nearby object. It is a self that is not in use, and it brings it back to its original state. Okay. Amanda, can you take ten?

Finally, it is the approval of the Boone Beach Public Art Master Plan, which has been waiting for us for several days. An executive committee has been added to it. This process has gone forward by accepting the opinions of the people in various groups. This has come before the Art Board twice. They have approved this plan unanimously. This plan puts forward various art forms, art forms, places, activities, and traditions related to Shaili.

Okay, today's agenda announcement ends here. Anyone have any questions? Yes, let it be quick, Dan. Shona, you will have to help me with this. If you are talking about meeting minutes, I saw a video of the last meeting to understand things. There is one thing I noticed then. My question is, what is the proper procedure for making changes in meeting minutes? Is that an excuse? For example?

No, because of that, what will I do?

I noticed that one commissioner was speaking to our CET manager or deputy city manager in some physical language. It seemed to be a response to a public opinion about something related to the city. Therefore, I would like to know how to interpret it, or if there is an explanation for such a thing in the procedure. The point is what we can do about the changes in the meeting minutes.

I will take that item and change it, and I will do what is required to make the changes you want in the minutes. Then, as usual, a promise. A promise to accept meeting minutes with changes made.

I, I would like to make it a little clear here, my friends. Vice Mayor's announcement was made by Commissioner, Cruise Deputy, City Manager Andrew MacKinnock, and I am here to invite a person named David Katz or someone else. He came and gave a public opinion. Commissioner Cruz was called District 1 Commissioner. In their view, they were told some negative things about it. They said to Deputy City Manager Andrew Mark, I am responsible for those opinions. I planned it. I put them down. I am responsible for the public records they received. This is not true. I denied that accusation. I stood up. I got out of bed, because I didn't want to say that the incident made me more angry. That's what happened. I have nothing to do with anyone standing up and saying anything. I have heard such negative comments many times. Commissioner Kelly, I know that you have heard me being insulted many times. I've seen people come to the podium and say that I'm not right, or that I'm acting like a cop, or that I'm saying bad words. I think the Mayor is right. Yes, we are against criticism. That's what happens. We need to be a little more professional. But that's what makes me feel so unnecessary. I need to make it clear what I said, because I haven't heard it. That's why I want the things I said to be recorded. That's what I'm investigating. Andrew, do you remember what they said?

The problem is, if it's not said in a way that the clerk can hear it in the microphone, it's not right. If it's not heard in a microphone, it's actually a question to the legal department.

It's actually... Can it be added as part of minutes if it's not heard in reality?

Yes.

I have to check it. I think it is the same. But let me check to see if there is a proper legal basis. Commissioner Kelly, that is the basis of my question. Are those opinions public record? They are like that, right? You know, right? Because I think it was at that time.

No, I don't think I knew what you said at that time. I saw someone standing, but it happens in most meetings. I don't know, but at that moment, you need to listen to the opinions. You know, I want to prevent it. I don't think it's our job to say the last word to voters when we try to move forward. If it is not understood, I don't think there should be such conversations there. Yes.

I intend to re-establish that agreement as soon as possible. So what I mean is, I discussed it with the Mayor about whether or not to re-establish it at that time. The question of Vice Mayor Turk is whether it can be re-established. I will investigate it. Okay. Vice Mayor Turkin, if you need it, you can send me a letter or send me an email. Which is more convenient for you? Yes. The question is whether it is an action plan or not.

Then let's see what your letter is. Your legal letter, after more attention. I will check Robert's laws.

Yes, to let everyone know what it is, there should be a discussion about it in the meetings. If we have to talk about new things, if you have any questions about how to behave in the meetings, you should ask the staff or take a break. You can ask for a break whenever you want. According to the instructions of a previous representative, I had prepared an ordinance when I entered the job. I had made a full schedule for it.

After that, it was avoided. That means we are following Robert's rules. It is not clearly stated in our ordinances. Moreover, it is only mentioned in the process of things about the time of the meeting. There is one advantage in doing things a little more. That's what this board is doing. But we have to see if it is beneficial for the city. The Commission and the Chair will determine the procedures.

I don't think that's a charter issue.

I don't think that's how it is. I think it's a section. I don't think it's right when we go to community support funds. Isn't it?

We had to show them who we are at that time. So I don't think such meetings should happen. If people are angry, they should try to control it. Dan, please try not to get up and go. I know you sometimes need it and there are calls, but let's continue this. We need to be polite to the people in the community. If we don't do it ourselves, what are we doing wrong to the people? Also, look at the agenda item B, September. It needs to be corrected. The letter is wrong.

In the agenda items in Bavi, Harvard, September. Yes, it was written as a mistake earlier. I have corrected it in your script, Mayor. But I didn't say anything to Tommy. It's my mistake. There's no proof. Everything is for the good. Thank you all.

Okay, good night.

Yes, should I repeat your question? Yes, I almost remember. But she was touching you. Yes, I looked over there and told her that you have a share in this. Okay. And if no one else has any questions, today's meeting ends here. No, that's all. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you to all the people who came here. Yes, thank you.

Welcome. Thank you.

Bye. Bye. Bye.
