“So the recommendation would be to take this and then lump them into the urban planning conversation so that we can get Sort of.”

“So, I don't know, my idea on this, on the street lighting, lighting would be that, again, it's something that I think there's consensus as a standalone project. Same thing as for the street dance, it would still need to go through a workshop that where, I mean, once you get to the 30% plans, you see a few options, you call for a workshop, you see which one you guys like this, that, okay. let's pick this and then we finalize the plans. So I would recommend that if we have a proposal from Kim Lee Horn that we move forward, provided that when we get to a level of plans that we can look at,…”

“I HEAR YOUR CONCERNS BUT MAYBE I have a more pragmatic approach.”

“Well, it makes sense. Yeah, I mean, I'd be ready to make a motion to move forward with the Kimley Horn. Even time-wise, maybe by the time that they move forward, we have the plans. Maybe we're going to be in the middle. or we're just gonna be in a situation where we're just starting with the urban planning and then maybe we have the chance to look at this 30% design along with all the other things that we're discussing. But at least we move forward. So I would make a motion. THE MOTION IS TO PROCEED WITH THE PROPOSAL THAT WE GOT FROM.”

“THIS IS JUST DESIGN. WITH THE REQUIREMENT THAT OBVIOUSLY WHEN WE GET TO Maybe 60%. I mean, we've got to figure out with them. But just in time that they don't finalize all the features, and then we have the time to look at the final details.”

“They're going to come with some proposals, and then we're going to meet and do a workshop, or decide what to do with that.”

“But there's an easy one. There's a low hanging fruit. Which one?”

“Yeah, there's a 9-H. This is the entrance to the community center. So right now, if you're walking from this block to the community center, so you're crossing the street, And then you get into a point where you have to do like a zigzag to get in, right? So you turn right and then you turn left again because the entrance is not aligned with a crosswalk.”

“Well, yeah. It's very cumbersome because... It so happens that you also have the traffic signal there, the pole there. So you have the pole, which is in the middle. And so getting in and out is a bit complicated. And actually, this is something that I think Michael brought up to me. So I'd be glad if he can speak about that.”

“So be to two elements then one would be to make this access to the sidewalk a little wider. And the other one would be to trim the vegetation the hedges there be more so that there is also more space for people to stand which was what Michael was bringing up earlier.”

“You're talking about the slope there at the edges, like the curb slope?”
Town Commission · Aug 11, 2026
- Play at 2:24:19
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you would expand that so the slope would be coming up here.”

“well yeah i'll i'll go just real quick it's it was it was very hard to be prepared for this meeting i mean uh we got the agenda what like four or five pm 4 p.m yesterday i think there's a lot of stuff a lot of history um so i i i don't see why we couldn't have done this conversation with time, maybe after we tackle some of the more urgent emergencies that we have and we make sure that we have a town manager, that we fix some of the other emergencies that we have. So some of these are easier, some of these items. Some others are, I don't know, I don't have the time to look into that. Thank you.”

“Yeah, so I want to look at this from PRACTICAL PERSPECTIVE. TO ME, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THE BENEFIT THAT WE CAN BRING TO THE RESIDENTS. I MEAN, THIS IS THE BENCHMARK, RIGHT? SO WE'VE GOT TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAXIMIZE THE BENEFIT FOR THE TOWN. SO I'M GOING TO PUT MYSELF FOR A SECOND HERE IN THE MAYOR'S SHOES AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S TRYING TO ACHIEVE. I don't disagree that we can maybe take this up a notch and try to maximize our influence with Tallahassee, D.C. here. But it is true that we have to do that as a team. That's the way I see it. To your point, Commissioner…”

“Sure. Because I wasn't, and I'm sorry if it came out that way, I wasn't advocating for all of us go up there. What I was saying- But I am, by the way.”

“No, no, but I mean, that could be excessive, I think. But- What I'm saying is why not having this reporting system that allows us to discuss these things before you or any one of us goes?”

“Yeah, yeah, ahead and after. That's what I would like to see. That's what I would like to keep.”

“I have to vote no because I'd be inclined to vote yes if there was a modification, including the reporting. If there was that, I'd vote yes. But the way it stands now, I've got to vote no.”

“I'll go very brief. I didn't have the time to really dive DEEP INTO THIS. THERE WERE MANY ITEMS. WE TALKED ABOUT THE SISTER CITY ORGANIZATION. I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT IT. I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS PROPOSAL. AND FRANKLY, HONESTLY, I DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD BE DISCUSSING NOW WITH ALL THE EMERGENCIES AND THINGS THAT THE TOWN MANAGER AND THE STORM WATER AND THIS AND THAT THAT WE GOT TO FOCUS ON. I'm not even ready to discuss this.”

“This is on the item. And this, so with the yes on the privilege motion, the point of order was superseded. That's the way it works?”

“I know, but we're combining, but then discussing, then we didn't discuss the preview. I'm going to explain it very simply.”

“Yeah. So, um, all right. So we're doing three, uh, three, eight up to three F. So public participation, I think I'm, I'm going to vote no on this one, like hard. No. I mean, we've, We've been using this new system for the past few meetings. I don't think it created any major disruption. It was an opportunity for the residents to speak more, to let their voices be heard. So I think I understand the reason why, because you're thinking about efficiency and doing things more expeditiously. However, government is always messy and inefficient. There's a certain degree of inefficiency that has to be…”

“So if I vote no if the commission votes no then the discussion all these items dies. Correct. but if I vote yes, then we're going to keep talking about it later. Yes. Yep. All right. Now I'm okay with keep talking about it. Yes.”
