“So that's what I'm trying to understand is you're going to bring the water Off of 77th and 73rd, and that water you're going to carry not into the subdivision, but along those culvert systems to the 66th Avenue conveyance system? Correct.”

“Okay. So the, the water that you're capturing off 77th and 73rd will actually go into the, to the water system within the subdivision. Correct. And then that'll be stored there treated. And hopefully at some point in time, it'll end up into, I don't know, the Atlantic ocean, but, uh, okay. So you are, you are enhancing the flow of the water off of those two roadways.”

“People people tend to want to believe I Don't want to say the worst but they tend to want to believe that their fears are more founded than the other side of it So I'm hoping that we're gonna hold the feet to the fire here and make sure as we go through this process that that stormwater is taken care of which is part of the responsibility that the city has in this we have to do that so And then 77th you're only 77th and 73rd you're only enhancing those roads that if I understand it right, to your entrances, or are you enhancing them all the way down to your connection points to the wastewater…”

“So you're going to enhance 77th down to just almost short of the end of the subdivision, and then you're going to enhance 73rd basically down to your exit point on that, and you're not going to enhance it further down. Okay. All right. And 73rd is going to actually run into the Grace property at some point in time in the world here. So if we're going to enhance 73rd through the Grace property, we're going to have to enhance that portion of 73rd that you're not going to do through that process.”

“This growth makes no sense to us if it doesn't connect to the Gray's property and to this whole thing. I'll tell you point blank, we don't gain from annexing just a subdivision. We only gain from annexing a concept, and the concept is part and parcel of that whole area down there. and it all revolves around that 2,000-acre partial, quite frankly. So, okay.”

“Go ahead. I'm sorry Jeff left, the first speaker, because he brought up points that didn't make any sense, but he brought up points that potentially, and I think we need to address those points. Based on our annexation agreement and based on a development agreement, the city of Sebastian will not be responsible for these streets, for this stormwater system, They'll not be responsible for anything within this subdivision. Correct. Correct. Yes, sir. That's in perpetual.”

“I just wanted to make sure because what I heard was a Facebook speech, and I want to make sure that – We're responding like we heard a Facebook speech. And the worst has happened before.”

“And if we have the zombie apocalypse apocalypse tomorrow, then the city will have legal, legal avenues to try to make sure that we don't get caught with this. You know, if we may have be running from those nasty guys, but, uh, uh, we're protected. I just want everybody to understand that this is, this is a multi-step process. Like council member Nunn said. The people up here and the people of city staff have been through this and over this and done everything they can. There's not been an intent here to do anything. I should say this differently. I understand the people who live out there who…”

“I move approval of ordinance. Oh, 26 13. Um, on the second reading.”

“If I understand it, Brian, the city does not install the markers. The individual who purchased the plot retains a company to install the markers.”
City Council · Sep 9, 2026

“So the time frame that's listed in this ordinance of 120 days is really saying to the purchaser of the plot, you have 120 days. And even if your contractor doesn't do that, you're the one that's potentially in violation of the ordinance. And all you're doing saying now with the 180 days is saying that individual, if you have a problem with your contractor, you have 180 days to do this. So This isn't basically saying it's going to take 180 days to install markers. It's saying it's giving the owners of the plots an opportunity if they have a problem and it extends time on this.”

“I have one other question. Yes, sir. The capital improvement fund, after the new building is constructed, do you have a rough idea what the balance of that fund would be? Is that something I missed on here?”
City Council · Sep 9, 2026
- Play at 1:55:56
“I didn't see that. That's why I asked that question.”
City Council · Sep 9, 2026

“Okay. I'm just trying to understand. Okay, if we have an overrun on the construction of the building, is there sufficient funds in there that we're not going to limit ourselves by reducing to 25% at this point in time until that building's finished? is what I'm trying to get to.”

“Okay, so what's, I mean, that's at the end of this fiscal year. We haven't built the building yet.”
City Council · Sep 9, 2026

“Okay, so that's after the building construction.”

“So are you talking about just the rate for the round, not the golf rate, not for the cart, or what do you? Yeah, the entire round. So including the cart fees? Yes, sir. So if they don't show, they're going to pay both the green fees and the cart fees? Unless they booked a walking rate. Okay. I think, I think the walking rate might be more appropriate.”

“Now, is it not common, though, for someone who does that twice or whatever to suspend their ability to reserve tee times?”
City Council · Sep 9, 2026

“And then they would have to call us. You're going to send them a bill. They don't pay it. I'm just trying to understand the ramifications of that.”
City Council · Sep 9, 2026

“Okay, there's a difference in what I'm addressing. If you make a tee time for a foursome and you've got three people show up, Those three people need to make up the difference in the fee for the foursome. Okay, I understand that. But if you have, I make a tee time and nobody shows. You're saying you're going to bill the person who made the tee time for the whole party?”
City Council · Sep 9, 2026

“If I make a tee time for a foursome and we don't show up, then you're talking about billing the person who makes a tee time for all four players. Is that correct? Yes. That's where I think there's a, I don't know.”

“So what if I call you five minutes before my book treat time and say, I have to cancel. I have a car accident or I have to do this. What takes place?”
