3:53 – 7:53Speaker 2

It takes a lot of time to take a minute. I'm telling you. Okay, it's 3 o'clock. Will everyone please stand up? Mr. Henry, will you please stand up and speak to us? I pledge allegiance to the republic that stands by the sovereignty of the United States of America and the United States of America. A nation that is under God's control, gives everyone freedom and justice. This is a planning and zoning board. This is an advisory board. They make decisions. Then, the county commissioners make the final decisions. Today's agenda will be reviewed by the county commission at 5 p.m. on September 10, 2026. If there is a delay in voting, a roll call vote will be held to ensure accuracy. If someone is making a noise in the absence of a reminder, turn on the microphone. Only then will the noise be heard. The agenda will allow the public to give their opinions for two minutes. Please say your family name in more letters. Now, if there has been any misconduct with those outside the board about any objection, please reveal it now. Okay, seeing that, I'm bringing this back. I need permission to accept the minutes of the PNC on July 13, 2026. Permission to accept is granted. I'm signing. Neelai's permission and Ruth's signature have been obtained. Those who agree, say yes. Yes, is there anyone against? Yes, it has passed as a yes. We welcome Ms. Tracy Overburton. Thank you for coming. Okay, one more match. Inem H1 Martha Lydia Ramos Cordero Carlos David Flores Oscar Orlando Mayo Orga Ramos Announce the variants. From zoning classification GMLI, move from RU1 to RU11. Announcement number 26Z Pujam Pujam 31. Establishment in District 1. Is the announcement here? Sir, can you come to the podium and stand next to the microphone? Please say your name and address and add your family name. Sure. Hi, my name is Carlos Flores. Family name is FLORES Vilasam, 6310 Depot Avenue, Cocoa, Florida, 32927. Can you tell me what you intend to do? Yes, that is, um. We are trying to change the zoning of our property. Currently, it is GMLI. We are trying to change it to Single Family Residential RU-1-11. That is our main need now. Okay, sir. When you are standing there, is there anyone in the audience who agrees or disagrees with this? I am ending the public comment here. I am bringing this back to the board. Do you have any questions to the speaker? I have a question. Why are you trying to re-zoning it? I don't know why. I don't know what happened. We have been living here for 9 years. Now, when we were trying to sell it, we found that the price it was paid by the buyer was included in the appraisal as the land of government management. When I researched, in 1999, I realized that the police department had removed it and then they had moved it back to the old state. When we bought it, this problem did not come out. Now, when we are trying to sell it, it has come out. We are trying to move it from GLML to RU1 to RU11. That is why it is our residence.

8:00 – 8:16Speaker 4

That's why it's not in accordance with the regulations. Yes, only then can you sell your property. Okay, thank you. I'll take your leave. Second. Second. In H1, Ruth's decision was approved by Jarrad Pindangayathu.

8:16 – 10:13Speaker 2

Those who agree, say yes. Yes, is there anyone against it? Yes, it has been passed unanimously. Okay, thank you very much. Thank you, sir. May things go well with the commissioners. Inum H2 Inum H2, Henry and Janet Abdom, Sawning Classification RU1-7, from RU1 to RU11. Application number 26Z, Pujam Pujam Pujam 2-7. This is established in District 1. Madam, are you the auditor? Yes, we are. Can I say your name and address and record your last name? Of course. Thank you. Ah, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Janet Abt. I spell my last name Abt. Alpha Bravo Tango. Okay. Can you tell me what you intend to do? Okay. I am allowing this re-soning to be done in order to integrate the county's approved land use and urban planning. This is not an attempt to increase the population or change the use of land. According to the county officials, we are only doing the re-soning classification as per the national urban planning standards. You may be aware of the difference in this. RU1-7 means that there are more small towns and houses. For the new subdivisions, this is a good sign. RU1-11 means that there are bigger towns and houses. Houses in Tamil are more large. The atmosphere is more suburban style. If the next houses are in bigger towns, this is more attractive. Yes, I am sorry for what I read. I have a little fear when I stand on the bed.

10:13 – 10:30Speaker 3

I don't need any fear for that. Okay. We are trying to build a house from April 2025. Then the county was telling us many reasons. We realized that this was the reason for it. So we came here. My husband is on a business trip. But...

10:35 – 12:05Speaker 2

Okay, while you are standing there, can you wait for a moment? Is there anyone in the audience who would like to talk about this? Sir, do you have one? Miss Janet, you can sit in the front row. Certainly. Thank you. Sir, please say your name and last name in more letters. Yes, Cody's Park, 2301 Highway 1, Mims, Florida, 32754. That is SPAR. So, we have been here for just a second. We are bringing zoning classifications for the future land use of the county. Please excuse me, I don't know how to speak in front of people. Can you come a little closer to the mic? We are only requesting for rezoning to bring property zoning classifications for the future land use of the county. Okay, no problem. They are a single family house owner. Okay. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Is there anyone else who wants to talk about this? I will end the meeting here. Ms. Janet, you can come back. I will leave this to the board. Do you have any questions for them? I have a question.

12:05 – 12:37Speaker 3

Is there more than one villa in this place? I thought there were two villas in this place. No, that's a flag load. But that's not the case for the surrounding houses. Our land is more than an acre. We are a little more than an acre. So this is the problem. I believe this is a flag lot. Others didn't have to do this. So... Okay. I don't know what the reason is. But we had to do this. So we came here. Thank you. Thank you. I have a question to ask. If the land is not allowed to be cleaned, will there be a code enforcement?

12:50Speaker 4

Is that a legitimate case?

12:51Speaker 3

I don't think so. Okay, Cody. No, they are waiting for the permit.

12:57 – 13:25Speaker 2

Please wait. We have to... I'm sorry. We have to call Mr. Cody back to take care of everything. I haven't given my payment. Payment? Do you want that? Yes, we'll be right here. Okay, continue. Yes, we have spoken to the county permitting and the Department of Natural Resources. They are waiting for the rezoning. That's the only thing. Yes, we have a permit, right? Ms. Erica, is that it?

13:26Speaker 3

But that's not the right answer to my question. There is a court enforcement case there, right? Cancel it.

13:32Speaker 2

They have closed it until they do the rezoning. Understood.

13:35Speaker 4

Then when they do the rezoning, will it end on its own?

13:42 – 14:06Speaker 1

Okay, is that true? Yes. No, if their rezoning is accepted, they will get a building permit. It will allow them to move forward with land cleaning activities. Thus, the enforcement case will be passed by the Natural Resources Code.

14:06Speaker 4

Thank you. Thank you, sir. I have a question for the employee.

14:08Speaker 2

When? Ms. Ruth.

14:12 – 14:29Speaker 4

When I read it, it was said that there were no waterfalls in the historical report and that it was a completely high area. But the Natural Resources Department said that there were waterfalls in the property. I wondered how these two would come true. Jane will come and explain it. I thank her. Thank you.

14:48 – 16:14Speaker 3

Hello, I am Jane Hart from Natural Resources. I don't know what you meant by the Department of Natural Resources. In the current survey conducted in July 2024, it was found that there are no evidence of wild animals that are only in high areas and that they are only in high areas. When we conduct a test at the Office of the Department of Natural Resources, we test the most valuable information and measurements. It can be measured as soil with water content, but it has to be tested directly. So, do you think that a researcher will send a practical instructor? Do you think I can say a little more clearly? This object is contained in the special flood zone Hazard Map of FEMA. I have not heard about the high places in the FEMA flood zone so far. So it's hard for me to understand. I only have the details of their official instructions regarding the floods. I don't understand how both the reasons can be true. How can it happen in a flood zone and at the same time in a high area? This is one of the main reasons for making this decision. Thank you. Mr. Robert. Can you please come closer to the microphone?

16:31 – 17:01Speaker 2

The soil on the map shows that most of the material is wet. But the weather report says that the soil is not wet now, so they did not find any water droplets when they examined the areas in that area. Instead, they found droplets on the soil in the high areas of the valley. That is, they say that after the soil survey in 1974, there were changes in the soil. So, is the female flood zone wrong?

17:01 – 17:31Speaker 3

I can't say for sure about the female flood zones. Okay. Yes. I know that there are new ones in between. Yes, I'm not sure. What is the reason for that? Okay, I'll check it out. Then? Mr. Wadsworth, can you tell me something?

17:31Speaker 2

Of course, madam.

17:34 – 18:24Speaker 3

To check the trees and the soil, to find out where the water is going to flow, and to find out where those big concrete things are going to be, we spent a lot of money to conduct an engineering test. What is it called? A culvert. I know that the culvert is the reason why there is a possibility of water getting into the road here. That's why many people are worried about us coming here. Last week, many residents came to the site we ran. They wanted to know if there was a problem with the water line in the county. We are protecting our land, so there won't be any major problems. We have a proper engineering drawing. We have everything we need for construction. Thank you. We just need the zoning to be right.

18:24 – 18:59Speaker 2

Right. Here, it's right. This is for the board's approval. Do you have any other questions? I promise to accept this change. I'm signing it. Right. I also got the signature of Robert, who is sitting in front of Robert, who is sitting behind Robert. Those who agree, say yes. Yes. Is there anyone who opposes? It has passed as a yes. Thank you. Still mine. Do you need that item? I am not staying there. It is clear. There is no proof.

18:59Speaker 3

It would have been enough if you gave me the price to accept one. 5275 Andover Street. Otherwise, I don't remember correctly. I haven't bought anything for a long time. That's Coco. It's in Florida. Okay.

19:10 – 21:58Speaker 2

Thank you. Thank you, madam. Thank you. H3. Okay, Inom H3. Space Coast Discovery Inc. is trying to move the sonin type oil to inhalation. 26 sets of Poojam Poojam Poojam 2.8 are being established in District 3. Sir, it's you, right? Yes, it's me. Please come close to the mic and say your name and address. Also, please add your last name and last name for the record. Okay, thank you. I'm Greg Smith, CEO of Space Coast Discovery. I live in Melbourne, Florida, on 3830 Dare Road. Smith. Okay, tell me a little about what you intend to do. In 2023, three administrators and a board agreed to buy this property for free and move it closer to the county to turn it into a school. This way, we were able to develop our school. We got permission for construction. The school cost about $2,53,000. I moved to Chumadhal in 2024 to make a school in a residential area. I thought that the property would be rezoned when the construction was approved. It was approved, that's all. That's how we completed the construction. When we wanted to make it a school, we were told that it was still a land that was financially sustainable. Right now, there is a dam right next to us. Since it is located on the land of Karshika, it cannot be used for residential use. Moreover, since it has been converted into residential use, it cannot be used as a residential area. So, not only did we lose the revenue we were supposed to gain, we learned about this when we obtained the occupancy last August. We lost about $3,030,000. Since it is not possible to reach the individuals there, our insurance has increased due to the fact that this is a vanija property, but we cannot use it for that purpose. Also, it is not possible to raise their horses there or rent it as a residence. So, we are proposing to rezone this as an institutional property. Okay. Sir, when you stand there, is there anyone in the audience who agrees or disagrees with this? Since no one is here, I will end the public opinion session. This brings us back to the board meeting. Do you have any questions for the speaker? Yes, I do.

22:01Speaker 3

Are you saying that this is a school that was built for the school? Is that right? Yes, that's right.

22:06Speaker 2

This is a school for children who have special needs. For those who have special needs. We have been operating since 1986. This will be a revolution. Okay. I was trying to make it clear what light industry means.

22:16Speaker 3

I wasn't sure if a school would be in that department. In the institutional department. Okay. That's what we're asking for. Thank you. From the board,

22:33Speaker 2

Do you have any other questions?

22:34Speaker 3

There is no house in this property now, right? There is nothing there.

22:41 – 23:06Speaker 2

We turned that house into a one-room schoolhouse, and it is next to our existing schoolhouse. So there is no place to live there now. We completely demolished it. It is a big one-room schoolhouse and then a playground. So are you planning to build a new building there? No, we changed the existing building to a one-room school.

23:07Speaker 3

Oh, so that's all you're doing? Yes, that's right.

23:10Speaker 2

Good. I understand.

23:11Speaker 3

Thank you. I'm inviting you to sign.

23:15 – 25:55Speaker 2

I'm signing. Thank you. Number H3. Henry's invitation and Ruth's signature have been received. Those who agree, say yes. Yes. Is there anyone against? Yes, it has been passed unanimously. Thank you. Thank you all very much. We can't beat a school, can we? Okay, that was quick. Do you think we can cancel the meeting? There's one more thing left. I'm trying to discuss it quickly. We can give you as much time as you need. Here. Inam H4, Section 62-182, is a proposal to be approved. Planning and zoning board, Angathom. Regulation, Anganlaluda Kalavathi. I know why it wasn't there in my first agenda. He. Please forgive me. I was looking at the paperwork. Can I say one more thing? Inam H4. Yes, Inam H4, Section 62-182, is to be approved by Subhash Abirthana. Planning and Signing Board, Actions, Laws, Actions. Now, I remembered something. Chairman, can you allow me to explain this? Yes, sure. On August 4, 2026, the Board of County Commissioners P and Z, P and Z, had instructed the staff to change the code relating to the LPA and LPA regarding the building and the need of that board. So we are moving forward with that instruction. L, P, A, P and Z are 10 steps short for boards and 3 steps short for employees. Let me present this to the board as a discussion. Mr. Chairman. Yes, Mr. Ron. The situation we are in. Ron, could you please come a little closer to the mic? There is a possibility that there will be 17 levels in our existing complex. But we cannot operate in this place with 17 people. No. If we want to continue as one complex, we need to move to another place.

25:56 – 30:06Speaker 1

Or we need to make changes in the structure and structure of our board. This is my second suggestion. I suggest that each district and two levels return to the previous complex where there was a division. Also, I have some suggestions regarding voting and testing. Also, I have one more thing to say. I would like to encourage people to participate in the elections. This may cause some problems for us, but I am happy to see that the people who are elected are responsible. So, I encourage them to participate. I would like to say this out loud. Another thing, I appreciate the attention shown by the commissioners in appointing people and standing on boards. This used to not happen before. That was a problem for us. Often, the last minute of the representative was called and we had a quorum of six people. There was a time when I had to wait for 15 to 20 minutes to start working because I didn't have a job. In terms of the job, I suggest that it should be suspended at 6. Now it is 3. I think it is very less. So I suggest that the job should be suspended at 6. In terms of voting, I think there are a few options. One, there will be only two votes for each district, and only when there are no major elections can the representatives vote. Another option, which we used earlier, is that if there is only one person from a district, the representative can vote. Then they can represent that district and vote for them. To prevent this from happening, some district commissioners were trying to legislate on time. That's why there were fewer board members. These voting methods were supported by the commissioners and encouraged them to do their job properly. So that's what I want to talk about and suggest. Another thing about training is that it takes some time for the representatives to participate in meetings. I want the staff. They need to participate in meetings at least twice a year to check the status of their counterparts. We have 13 people in the country. So I think there is time for this. Alice, this is your fault for giving you another job. But you are doing it well now. I think this is one thing that can be used. So, as a citizen, connect with all the districts. Find out which districts can't come. Find out who to connect with instead. Ensuring this will be the job of the ALIS. Ensure that there are at least 10 people representing the districts within the district. Thank you. We are still discussing this issue.

30:18 – 31:43Speaker 3

I like the idea of a 10-inch board and three other things. I asked Mr. Barter about the experiment. Experiment When I joined the planning and zoning, I asked a lot of questions about onboarding. Also, did you follow Robert's Rules of Order? Do you have any rules or regulations that I can fully understand about the way this board works? We didn't get anything like that back then. So, it will be a big burden for those who are appointed to the board. Even if you can read it yourself, it is good to get those details and directions. Excuse me. Yes? I think it is better to have 3 people in each district. This is just my personal opinion. So, I will say that it will be enough to have 2 people from each district. There may be 5 or 6 people for each district, but 3 may be very few. Then why not? If people are ready, if we are not able to find them, then that is another matter. But if people are ready to be a representative for your district, then we can always make sure that there are people who need to be in charge of the district. Therefore, I am proposing that each district should have a representative.

31:47 – 32:43Speaker 2

Chairman, let me make it clear. There are 10 voting boards. There are also boards that do not have voting rights from the Patrick Space Force Base and School Board. Let me make it clear. There are still 10 voting boards. But how many people do we need for the core? Three people have been suggested. But any discussion held by this board will be presented in front of the board of the County Commissioners. Do we need boards in one board as per the law? Yes, it is necessary to make practical decisions, isn't it? It would be better to say it in a simple way. Yes, sir. There is another opinion here. We are continuing the discussion. Come, Mr. Robert. I agree that the quota is 5 or 7. I think that's right. But wouldn't it be better to ensure that the quota is distributed from each district? That's a topic for discussion. Yes.

32:43Speaker 3

Yes, I agree with that. If that's the case, all districts will have a specific responsibility. I have a question.

32:49 – 33:02Speaker 2

Let's end this discussion. The reason is, yes, I think if you are an alternative, you can only stand for your district. Is that right? Yes, yes. That was just a question. I just wanted to make it clear. Thank you.

33:09 – 33:33Speaker 3

When we get a notification about a meeting, we get an email. If we forget that we are coming, we can reduce the number of people in the county. We can set a time limit. We can set a time limit of 72 hours to know if you are coming. Or we can tell your representative. I don't know. It is a precautionary measure that helps the people in the county to make things more clear. No one is willing to make trouble for them, right? I don't know if it is necessary to have at least 5 people. It is true.

33:40Speaker 2

We will have ten people here. I know. I am trying to make Alice's job easy.

33:45 – 33:57Speaker 3

I know there were problems like Mr. Barcher said. But it's been two years since I came here. That's the time. Mr. Barcher is talking about forty years. We always have people who are needed here.

33:57 – 35:35Speaker 2

Henry is talking about fifty years. Yes, there were some problems in the past, but not anymore. It's been five, six, seven years since there's been a problem like that. It's been a while since PNC and LPI decided to run on the same day. That was another change. It helped a lot. Okay, sir. Let's continue the discussion. Mr. Henry, you have a seniority. I don't know if that's a good thing or not. I think it's us. Each district will have a commission of two people. Okay. How do you decide on the candidates? In other words, there is no information about the candidates in the ordinance. Each district will have a commission of two people. That is, there will be ten voting areas in the state. So it will be like that. That's why we don't have anyone to stand against us. But we have to leave this to the board's decision. So, yes, the decision was made on the ground. I know that sometimes we can act without any opposition. That is, if they are not allowed to work and vote, they will feel disappointed. So, if there are no alternatives, there is no need to be disappointed.

35:35Speaker 1

Do you understand? That's a good thing. Yes, that's a good thing.

35:38Speaker 3

That's a very good thing. So, if it's 10 people, 5 people for each. We should always be able to reach each.

35:45 – 36:51Speaker 2

From each district, we will have two representatives. Yes. Just like you showed Chundika 50 years ago. It was very difficult to get them here. We actually made money. For one yoga, we got $15. That was a big deal. Then, they took it away from us. That's why we've made a lot of changes. You know that, right? That's why. And, it was very difficult to get old people. Everyone here spends a little time today. But many of them have participated in 4-5 hours of yoga. I don't know. Sometimes it's a pleasure. So... So, in my opinion, 10 steps are enough. Let's move forward. Then...

36:58Speaker 3

The board of the County Commissioners intends to issue an ordinance on the 25th of next year.

37:02 – 37:34Speaker 2

So, this ordinance has been announced so far. In fact, you will get 10 seats in the next P&C. But, Ruth, you can start. Start. You don't have any problems, do you?

37:37 – 38:09Speaker 3

Yes. I like those ten voting boards. We need five people for each. Because there should be a difference in the number. But what do you say about giving something new to the new boards? That is, if we give a proper test to those who come new to the board, I think we will get a more efficient and efficient board. When I started, I wanted to get this kind of test as well. To be honest, I definitely liked it. So, yes, I am happy that the test is coming now. Mr. Chairman and Mr. Rannu. There was a test a long time ago. It was a class that lasted a whole day.

38:23 – 38:43Speaker 1

It was arranged by the county planning department for the residents. As part of that experiment, they checked the board members. As I said, it was an experiment that lasted a whole day. They gave us lunch. It was a good meeting for us. When I participated in that experiment,

38:52Speaker 2

There were only two other board members. Yes. Yes. That experiment was not only intended for Broward County.

39:01 – 39:26Speaker 1

It was a general knowledge about planning and zoning. But it was very useful. It would have been great if the county could do something like this again. Certainly, it is unlikely that it will happen in a budget-cutting scenario. But it reminded me of how it used to be. It would have been better if we could do it again. I liked the idea.

39:26 – 39:59Speaker 3

That is, by bringing people together with the things on the table, it will help everyone understand things quickly without too much pressure or financial costs. When I joined this board, I took part in these kind of experiments to quickly understand things. So, I don't think this should be very special. It will be enough if you get a general knowledge. If you are talking about the experiment, if the board decides on such a thing, it is good to put it on the same day as the meeting takes place.

40:10 – 41:31Speaker 2

Because many come from the north, south or far away, coming here is a big journey. Especially from the place where I live. From the forests of North Island, the next P&Z, P&Z, has included it in the meeting. Yes, I think all of you will have got the time. There will be an exam at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. So, um. Board changes will be announced in the commission meeting in November. Is it a November meeting? Isn't it after the election? Is that it? The meeting of the party? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, I believe it will be after the election. I think it will be a special event where new parties will protest. In some December, they don't have events. Isn't that right? I was thinking because we are officially starting in January. So, which way is this board going? That change will happen. On the 27th of January. Isn't that right? Am I giving you too much weight? Yes. Do you have a general opinion on this matter? Not yet. I have been discussing this with the board. I wasn't sure about that. Okay.

41:31Speaker 3

So to make it clear, yes, December P&Z and P&Z are not suitable.

41:33 – 41:57Speaker 2

However, you are choosing the chair and vice chairman in January. Yes. If no one wants to make a decision, we can continue the discussion. Mr. Chairman, Mr. Rohn.

41:57Speaker 1

Sir, do you have anything to say about this? Please come forward and say your name and address. The last name should be recorded and the letters should be increased.

42:04 – 43:50Speaker 2

Rick Hingfinger, District 1. The last name should be H-E-F-E-L-F-I-N-G-E-R. I came here to know what you are thinking. Because this happened very quickly. I know that the reetha is back to normal. We didn't vote for her, but I think she was the one who started this. Because she said that there was a problem here in the board report. I didn't understand what it was. So I was worried about that problem. I understand that there are essential facilities to sit in. On the one hand, that may be the problem. I don't know. Still, I thank everyone who came here. I like more people than a few. The public's opinion is very important to me. I like more people than less people. I understand that this is causing a problem. Everyone should talk, right? Like that, I came here because I wanted to hear what you were talking about. No, not like that. But I see 12 people here. How many people do you have? 17 people. Yes, but you only have 12 people. So, do you know that some people like Robert Jordan, Robert Jordan, who I don't know, are legal again? Or do you know that John Hoping is legal? We have now replaced Hoban with Robert Jordan. I am disappointed that I did not vote for Rita. I think there are some political issues going on. I hope these political games do not affect you. I know she has the right to do so. I did not think she would do anything like that. But she decided to do it. And I like that you have three people. Because I have a little doubt now. You said that 10 people are voting, right? But now there are 15 people, right? So can 15 people vote? Yes, sir. Okay, then 15 people need to vote.

43:56Speaker 1

The quorum was 6 earlier, because there should have been 10 people. I don't think the quorum was updated when 15 came, right? That instruction was given.

44:06 – 44:21Speaker 2

Oh, right. So, I can't see where the quorum is in the monthly instruction. That ordinance has been removed as part of the reserve. Did anyone say anything about that? I can't see that part missing. No, the quorum is still part of the code. Yes, sir, this is still...

44:21Speaker 1

Now, this is 6. That's it.

44:22 – 46:35Speaker 2

I thought it was something I'd forgotten. I thought that's all it said. So, 6 is 60% of 10. So, that's it. One in half. That's the core. I think that's right. That's the proof of 6. Since the core is 15, I'm happy that I didn't add more to it. Because, one year ago, when this changed, Rita Pritchett took the lead. She wanted to make sure that there are people who need to vote for you. So she said, instead of thinking that the candidates who can't come can't vote, let them come, let them take part, let them vote. If that's the case, you can always make sure that there are six people, right? That problem was resolved. It has led to more discussions, and I like that. So I wanted to make sure that everyone understood. I have a small doubt as to why my commissioner is involved in this. Because when he was 15 years old, there were allegations that he was trying to harm people in this area. Now he is an unarmed man. Is she trying to change the politics she created? Before this, the problem was that there was no quorum. I think you are trying to form a good coalition to vote for PATH, right? But I think there needs to be some sort of agreement to ensure that alternative candidates get the alternates when needed. Like Ruth said, hey, we need a headcount. is a good constitution. Who comes to meetings? Who doesn't come? Who has legal reasons? That's not a bad thing. I like it. We need to make sure that there is a core. We need to get the opportunity to inform others. If no one from your district doesn't come, we need to call a representative. I like it. So, I still need 5 representatives from 10 districts and each district needs a representative from each district. Since this is a national matter, when a district doesn't have a representative, it should be avoided to vote for a representative from another district. This is a political issue, isn't it? If it's not a political issue, then why is Reetha involved in this? So, I would like to know what you think about this. Also, I like the idea of experimentation. It's important that you get the right onboarding. Even the commissioners complain that you didn't get the right onboarding. So, I think it's important. That's all I had to say. I just wanted to know what happened. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Does anyone else want to speak from the audience?

46:43 – 47:55Speaker 4

Okay, I'm ending this for the public's opinion. We can continue to discuss further. Let me see if I can say it correctly. I'm saying ten steps and three steps. You don't need a substitute. If that's the case, you won't have a burden. People say that if you bring a representative from other districts, it will be just a show. So, that's my opinion. We don't need 10 units, 3 corps and a representative. I am saying that we need 10 units and 5 corps. Because 3 is a very small number. That is, even if half of the people do not come, there is no problem. We always come. We are really proud of this. If my child becomes a nurse or if a big accident happens, we will not come. Otherwise, I will be here, right? I think most of us are like that. We are very proud of this place. So we are coming. So it would be strange if half of us do not come. That's all I said. Think about it.

48:05Speaker 2

To make our history clear, Mr. Rob, can you sit a little closer to the mic?

48:10Speaker 3

That's a problem. I can't see you then, right?

48:12 – 49:46Speaker 2

I'll talk to you a little closer this afternoon. Keep that mic closer to you. It's not a big deal. I can do it. So, we had 10 members, 5 representatives, and a group of 5 members. Six. A group of six. Okay. Then, a year ago, we became a group of 6 members with 17 members and no representatives. Six! Six! Right. Now they have to go back to the ten floors, to the five substitutes, and to the six-person room. They are interested in going back to their old state. Otherwise, they don't need to go back to the ten floors, to the five substitutes, and to the three-person room. Excuse me, sir. I am sorry. I think there is no objection to their suggestion. There is no objection. Yes, sir. That is, only 10 seats for three people. Quorum. Quorum. It will be a meeting that ends very quickly. Only three people. Yes, that. Sir, excuse me. I have already ended the time for the opinions of the public. I asked to make one thing clear. That is, we are making small changes here and conducting an experiment. That's why... Alex, do you have anything to say? Of course. Mr. Brides, I think you are right. There are ten voters. Three of them are in favor. Right. According to the board's instructions, no one has voted against the bill. Mr. Chairman, I can vote for ten votes. Ten votes against.

49:46 – 50:04Speaker 4

But I can't vote for the three of them. That's too little. It is not right for only three people to make the decisions we make. It is not right at all. Can I make a suggestion?

50:04Speaker 3

If the discussion ends immediately... Forgive me. I am listening to what Munkutty said. I am very sorry.

50:08 – 51:12Speaker 1

That is not true. I have worked in other boards. The three of them are a very small group. So, what I am trying to say is that when there are ten members, it is not three, it is a group of five. The reason I want to be a representative is because I have had the experience of being a county commissioner on this board before, where they would either not legislate the rights of their members, or they would put them in a position where they would only be present at certain times. Now, as we said earlier, we have a group of people who are very dedicated, and it is no problem for them not to be a representative for 10 years. Isn't it? I know there is a possibility of reforming history. But I don't want to go through that history and reform it again. The rebels will solve this problem. This creates a problem related to the rebels. The living people have to pay attention to more things. If the rest of you don't think that such history will be reformed, that's fine. But,

51:20 – 51:40Speaker 2

But Ron, you know how long I've been here, right? We haven't had such a problem in the last few years. I don't know. It's been six or seven or eight years. But when I first started, I know this is a lot of mess. This is very messy. I think so. Especially when we ask for money, people come.

51:47Speaker 1

I think this is because the county commissioners have found people who are ready to serve. Okay. Is there any discussion or am I? I am ending this.

51:54 – 52:07Speaker 2

I have another question. When the quorum is decided, can one person from each district include five people?

52:17 – 52:36Speaker 1

Will it become a big problem? Because I think it is very fair. That is, if five people come from the North Broward, they may not know what is going on in the South Broward, or they will come back. If this is the case, we can ensure security from all sides.

52:36Speaker 2

I can hear their eyes closing. Please forgive me.

52:43 – 53:21Speaker 3

Jared, I'm talking to you. Because to be honest, if you ask me about VIMS, it's hard for me. But if you ask me about South Beach, I know for sure. You think you're in trouble, so I think this is important. The other thing I have to say about the staff is that they work very hard. If I don't say goodbye to them in two days, they'll ask, Hey Erika, are you coming? So, I don't think there will be any problem in you getting in touch with each other when there is no quorum. You are very good at such things. Thank you.

53:21 – 53:59Speaker 1

Mr. Chairman, I think it is a good idea for each district to have representatives from all districts. But a district without a seat in the county commission will not get voting rights. So, we have to remember that. Why should we act more harshly than them? That's a good thing, Ron. Then I... Again, with my previous experiences with this board... Okay. I'm interested in making such rules.

53:59Speaker 2

I have a question for Mr. Assis. Ms. Ruth,

54:10Speaker 4

According to the constitution, we need two seats without voting rights. Is that right?

54:14Speaker 2

No, ma'am. We need only one school board seat. Only one school board seat. They can give voting rights. But the board. The constitution has decided on seats without voting rights.

54:22Speaker 3

But we can give voting rights to the commission if we want. Is that right? Certainly.

54:25Speaker 2

Yes. Yes, ma'am. That's right.

54:27Speaker 3

I just wanted to make sure that my opinion is correct.

54:30Speaker 2

So, if there are 10 people and a school board seat, that would be a tiebreaker, right? No.

54:34Speaker 3

Only if they have voting rights, can they do it.

54:37 – 55:52Speaker 2

Okay, but if they have the right to vote, it will be clear. If they have the right to vote, if you have 10 people on a school board, you will have 11 people. It will not be a conspiracy, right? So that's something to think about. If I understand correctly, our problem is that the school board and the Air Force are not allowed to vote. Because for a long time, no one from them has come here. That's right. So I don't know if it will help Siddhanta Parama. But I think they avoided it when there were 15 seats. Right? No, I still think so. I think Mr. Hoping Garden started as a school board rule. Then they avoided the right to vote within the school board by making it 15 seats. That's right. That's why we still have the school board, the Space Force, and the Air Force at our disposal. It's just that none of them have been removed. Is that right? We used to have a representative from the Patrick Air Force Base. I know that they haven't appointed anyone for a long time. That's right. Okay, if anyone is interested, I will end the discussion.

55:52 – 56:38Speaker 3

Okay, I need a motion. I request that 10 voting boards, i.e. two from each district, and a school board board that does not participate in the voting as required by the constitution should be included. Um. Koodaadhe. Parishilanam. Arangilum boardulayakku niyamikkapidumpol adistanaparamaya urun onboarding didi. Pinne anjubeyrulla urun kooram.

56:41 – 57:09Speaker 2

Ruth, venda. Ruth, nyan aa nirdesham thalkaalam marivikinnu. Urun nimisham. Sheri. Council. I think I understand everything. Yes, Madam. But yes, Sir. It's legal. Yes. They are trying to take away what they said. A school board has a right to have a school board that is not involved in voting. That's right. They have a right to have a school board. The decision of the board of the county commissioners is whether or not that person should be allowed to vote. That's my answer.

57:09Speaker 3

My pleasure is to rule a school board that is not involved in voting, as required by the state. Was that my suggestion?

57:17 – 57:28Speaker 2

No, that's not it. The constitution does not require you to vote. It has been left to the board's decision. The school board does not have the right to vote. That's why it will continue as it is.

57:28Speaker 4

But there are no votes.

57:29Speaker 2

I will postpone it.

57:31 – 57:47Speaker 1

Mr. Chairman. Before voting, Mr. Chairman. There was another issue in the agenda. It was about the calendar. I think we should suggest that there should be no changes in the calendar. There is no change in the calendar.

57:47Speaker 3

I can include it in the ordinance.

57:49 – 58:20Speaker 2

The same calendar. According to the ordinance, there is no change in the calendar. The change is only in the number of voters and the number of votes. But if you are interested, we can include it. Only if necessary. Okay. Okay, Ruth's suggestion has Henry's backing. Those who agree, say yes.

58:20 – 58:35Speaker 1

Before you vote, please forgive me. I didn't have time to discuss their suggestion. So, I have to intervene. If there is an objection, okay. Does anyone object to the change of a voting place in front of the school board? I object to it.

58:44Speaker 2

Are you against it?

58:44Speaker 3

I personally don't like it. Okay, okay, okay.

58:47 – 59:13Speaker 2

I'm sorry. Okay. H4. Henry's support for Ruth's suggestion. Those who agree, say yes. Yes. Are there anyone against it? Yes. It was passed unanimously. We lost the opportunity to ask for money. It was good to hear that.

59:13Speaker 4

Hey, when was the last time you received $15? When you ate it with a friend.

59:15 – 1:00:41Speaker 2

When was the last time you did that? It was. You got it.
