“There's 25,000 to 45,000. That's a big, what was that? The roof number.”
“And that's why during the due diligence time before we back away from the same.”
“Yeah. Okay. I mean, we knew we needed a new roof. I think you and I walked out there and knew right away, and we still couldn't get an estimate on that in 30 days, 45 days. I mean, I really think I can get an estimate on a roof in a day.”
“They zoom into Google earth and say, all right, this is what it'll be.”
“25 to 40, and that's a gutter too. Did that include the gutter on hers?”
“That would be my recommendation. So what is the number that we're asking? So we want them to cure, regardless of this, just say give them the report, cure everything on the report?”
“It's definitely going to take a lot, and I agree. That's... We don't want to be sitting here and be slumlords either. Deputy Mayor Gilbert.”
“So Florida and 14th? It wraps around them. We stopped at Florida, I think, and then New York has it, but that little strip in between doesn't have it.”
“I would still love that if that happened. OK. Yeah. You know anybody who wants to buy it? Ken? I got to go home to my wife. What did you say earlier? Oh my gosh.”
“I say we include that in our consensus saying yes, if they will not extend it, drop it.”
“And if they're gonna extend it, go ahead and give them say we, we want, we want this stuff fixed, add that all to it.”
“And you're not going to do that in one day. Right. That's why. That's why. Okay. Well, yes, if you, if they don't give extension, drop it. Okay. That's my.”
“Yeah, that's a lot better than the Seminole County model that they did back then. Well, he actually informed me that... Weaponizing, deputizing every employee and...”
“Having a tax collector in a city building.”
“I don't think we need an officer. And I defer. Because Doug wants to sit there.”
“Chief Gerke, would you like to come to the podium, please?”
“No, we've had a police officer. Oh, you mean sitting up front. Sitting up front, because I remember you had people in OUC. Oh, yes, you're right.”
“I mean, that's pretty close to what we're paying.”
“That's it. City Council Member Fletcher.”
“What about putting that money towards it and then what does that leave us, Chief, for having an officer up there? If he gave us, say, $60,000 a year to put towards an officer, what's the balance?”
“We were already talking about doing that.”
“Okay. Were you going to say something? No, I'm good with it. I think it's a good compromise.”
“Somebody's going to have a gun down there. Somebody. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Train them.”
“He is. Well, because when they're in his department, he makes sure they're top notch, right? Yes, sir.”
“Which brings me to this, and I know everybody up here likes to eat and drink coffee. I would love to see us take advantage of that traffic that comes in and maybe put out an RFP for a cafe or something to be put right up in that corner and every person has to walk right by that counter and they can eat behind the escalator and get coffee. What are your thoughts? I think Council Member Fletcher.”
