“That obviously something was put into the I mean judge accepted responsibility, even though he never made a mistake. He said, this is one he made. And that is that it's impossible to have a path or easement to the water when you're not on the water. Now, does that require change in the comprehensive plan, since what was an impossibility we put in there?”

“If they develop this with the... 0.4 would give you a 465, I think they said. So whether 0.4 was intended or not, if it was intended, it was intended to make units which would not be conforming with our code?”

“Well, when you give somebody a zoning that says 30 units a day or 50, You have to assume that you don't want them to go above that, but you have to assume economically, if it makes sense, that's what they're going to do.”

“There's one more thing you might want to suggest Why do we have to limit anybody anybody wants to work with us? Why do we have to limit them? They're qualified fine. Why do we have to have a list? We're ready to do a job. We have people already applied somebody else can apply What do we have to a pre-approved list? We have pre-approved fine Why can't we take anybody else when a new job comes up if somebody wants to apply any reason not to I?”

“I'm saying you have all the people on board. Anybody's applied now who meets the basic qualifications, okay, would be accepted. But now the job comes up. We're going to go build a boardwalk. I'm just making something up. And Joe Blow, engineering company, hears about it, and they want to do it, and they submit their thing. We like it, fine. Why are we going to limit ourselves?”

“When you want to use them, you pick somebody. We can't. And they say, fine, work with them. You don't make an agreement with them, you try somebody else. You go down the list. Because you can't have them bid against each other. Correct, Chad? Yeah, this is under CCNA, right?”

“But Chad, just what you said. So now we have a list of 10 people, for argument's sake. And we're going to build this big boardwalk we talked about. And all of a sudden, somebody wants to be qualified. So they submit. Why can they not submit their qualifications at that point in time when we're going to build something?”
Village Council · Aug 25, 2026

“Yeah. All I'm saying is that we have this list, and let's say we selected everybody who applied this go-around.”

“And then somebody else said, now we're going to do a job. And Joe Blow, engineer, says, hey, I'm really an expert at that. I heard about that. I want to bid on that thing. And he submits his qualifications. Why can't we get him at that point in time?”
Village Council · Aug 25, 2026

“you know, met the criteria for bidding under the... Basically, then we could say, anytime we do a job, anybody's interested because of their qualifications, right?”

“I understand, but what it does, it limits our choices, and all of a sudden, and excuse me, and it does limit the contractors or engineering firms that will apply”

“Are the kids that are remaining in 6th grade, 7th and 8th grade, Is that because they can't get into math, there's no space available? Some. Is there an entry requirement for math?”

“I'm just thinking, why all of a sudden we have all these low scores for reading, math, and science, unless the people who aren't getting in probably are the ones holding the numbers down for the fifth grade. Absolutely.”
Village Council · Aug 25, 2026
- Play at 2:02:15
“Therefore by doing what you're doing is really I don't see how that's really going to boost those numbers. I think again either you're going to have more people going from sixth grade or seventh staying in the middle school our school or they don't. We're not going to be able to do that.”
Village Council · Aug 25, 2026

“I understand that, but the point was, would that make somebody score better in math or reading and science?”

“Okay, so you're saying ones that are going to mass will stay. Instead of going to mass, some will stay here. Well, not all of them will get in. I mean, isn't mass like, hey, this is the place to be, this is a great place? Yes, yes. Wouldn't everybody still really want, and the parents, wouldn't they really want to put their kids in mass?”

“It seems like to me you're trying to keep the school going for people who really don't want to be there, really want to be in masks, but they can't get in masks at this point, so that's why they're there.”

“My question is, Have you done a survey to find out if these people who have stayed here, who have not gone to Mass, if they could go to Mass, would they want to go to Mass?”
Village Council · Aug 25, 2026
- Play at 2:12:58
“So in other words, the only reason they're here is because they can't get into Mass.”

“Yeah, as our... Good evening, Mayor, Vice Mayor, Council. What's your issue? My issue is this. Chief, if somebody's coming off the island and they want to go to Cape Florida State Park, and they're going on a motorized mobility device, whatever you want to call it, are you going to give them a ticket on the way to the park?”

“Okay, so in other words, there's a way to get through. That's my first question. And number two is that, okay, Joe bought himself a new electric bike last week. He didn't tell you about it. So anyway... He now has walked up to Crandon Boulevard and he wants to go to Miami Will he get a ticket leaving Key Biscayne if he stays in the bike lane? No class one bike.”
