“Okay. I'm going to go ahead and take public comment really quick because I didn't do that yet. Anyone in the audience like to speak on this item? Nope. With that council member Irvin, do you have anything else to say? Oh no, sorry.”
“Okay. Uh, all in one. Uh, I'm okay with that. We can do it all one.”
“Throw it all and mix it up and spin it up.”
“All right. We have a motion from council member. Fletcher has stated second council member, Paul, all those in favor. I'm sorry. No, we can't do that with a clerk.”
“Thank you all. Thank Carly. Ken. All right. Thank you. Let's go ahead and take a 10 minutes. We will go ahead and call this meeting back door. Uh, chief, did you have something you wanted to say? Do you want to address that? I was hoping you would intervene at some point.”
“All right. We had some loose screws, you know, you have a screwdriver or something. I don't know. So, um, that was council.”
“All right, thank you, Jabari. Would anyone in the audience like to speak on this item? I know we've got some citizens from that area here. Jabari, really quick, if you don't mind. So that 32,000, that gets divided up between, or is that how?”
“Okay. And they were given an option of an HOA, but they don't want the HOA idea, right? That's correct. Okay. That's how I recall the last. Okay.”
“Okay, and this is essentially what the county... Like the makeup of the deal with the county and the residents over there? Yes, sir.”
“All right. Anyone from the audience? No one else? Council?”
“Yeah, and folks, we're sorry, obviously, with the little kink in the system there, but I'm glad we were able to work it out and get to this point and find a way through it. Obviously, the annexation of properties is somewhat of an inconvenience for some of the issues here, so I'm glad we're making it through. All right, and if no other comments, can I entertain a motion on this one? Motion to approve. I'm sorry. No? Oh, Council Member, did you have a question?”
“You get a car. We have a motion from Council Member Fletcher and a second from Council Member Urban. Will the clerk please call the roll?”
“And we're also at the next one. It's the very similar, though, right? And will the clerk please read Council Action Number 4.”
“69 property, same thing. It'll be divided up between the 69?”
“You just remember that number off the top of your head like Rain Man, huh?”
“Anyone from the audience like to speak on this item? Yes, sir. Take your time, sir.”
“So does that mean we get the road too if we annex that subdivision?”
“Thank you all for coming to council. Appreciate that. Okay, anyone else from the audience that can speak on this item?”
“I think what he's asking is the trim notice. It doesn't include this. It will. His actual tax bill will include it. Yes. That's what I think you're saying.”
“All right. Anyone else in the audience like to speak on this item? All right. Council comments?”
“Motion to approve. Council Member Urban, second. Council Member Fletcher. Will the clerk please call the roll?”
“All right. Will the clerk please read item number five?”
“All right. I had, uh, we'll go ahead to council member, uh, deputy Mary Gilbert.”
“I just had a question. You can go back a few slides. Um, talk about the other, the special assignment relating to the boards and all that. And obviously I, I'm on a number of, um, committees myself where like the Osceola chamber, like their retreat or, um, obviously there's Tallahassee. Well, you add the two of those up and that may hit above that number. I, I don't, No, I opted not to go to the chamber retreat last year because it was in Washington, D.C., and it was based on the finances of that. I just didn't feel that that was much needed. But in lieu, I think I went to the planning. I…”
“But I am the Tri-County representative, and also I'm on Florida League of Mayors. Correct. So last week, I was down with Florida League of Mayors, and then it was the Florida League of Cities Conference. So that's where, obviously, I've taken on a larger load with those. So I don't know where that hits on the number. But I can always bring each one of them back to council, I guess.”
