“Aye. Opposed? That motion passes unanimously. Question for you. If they meet and they decide that that just logistically doesn't work, can they make a recommendation? Sure, and I'll bring it back. Okay. If it ever gets passed out of your office?”

“We see you in a suit so much, it's not even that much of a big deal anymore. I know. I had to get a new one. We saw your video today very well. It was very nice.”

“With a question. Commissioner Campy. Thank you very much for a couple reasons. One, I always notice the people that are super passionate about the work they're doing. You're presenting a PowerPoint, but you're not reading from notes. You know these properties like they were your own. You know the process. I mean, you're literally the author of the procedures that we're using, or at least one of. with your legal counsel over there and others. So I really appreciate that. What I really like about this selection and the one that you left on the screen is that when we were originally talking…”

“Right. Yeah, I appreciate that. I think that using the use of this in district funds, the residents of the district would say that was a very good use of the funds to protect these final spots in Palm City. And it's nice because most of the rest of them, like I said, are elsewhere in the county. There's only going to be a few opportunities within this area to do something like that. So I appreciate that it's even on the list. Thank you.”

“Thank you very much. A week from today will be Election Day. We have The election and the opportunity for voting has already begun. We are in our early voting window. It started on Saturday. Also, if you had requested a vote-by-mail ballot and have yet to turn it in, you still can. You can either drop it off at the supervisor of elections office or mail it in. I know I'm serving on the canvassing board with Commissioner Vargas, and that supervisor of elections, Vicky Davis, had said she sent out approximately 15,000 or 16,000 ballots, and only about 6,000 have returned, which is a pretty low…”

“Yes, true. Sometimes if you are a one-party affiliation or another, the ballot would be specific. But all seats are available for every, as Commissioner Hertz said, every – whatever your – political party affiliation is, you can vote for all of the seats. Except, of course, if you're in an unincorporated Martin County, you don't vote in the city of Stuart, you're not voting in Indiantown. But for all of the seats that are available for you to select, you can. In regards to the unhoused situation that's been discussed quite a bit. I had a conversation with the ladies that spoke this morning…”

“I wish it was an American flag. I think the pine trees, you know, I get that it's stealth, but I mean, they look like cheap artificial Christmas trees.”

“So then they'd have to comply with the fall zones. No, it's stealth as a cell phone tower. It's obviously like, for instance, in Palm City, a long time ago they put one on a church property and it was a cross. I like, you know, obviously if you see a flag on a massive flagpole, you understand it's a cell phone tower. I just think Or even the one that we have that's right around the corner over here is just a monopole. That's not stealth, I guess.”

“I just think that that sort of – your eye erases that, whereas when you see these large artificial pine trees that are way taller – and I get why they have to be that tall – than the surrounding landscape. They just look sort of ridiculous. But I get that falls within the definition of stealth. I just like the concept of a really large American flag would be more appropriate than a cheesy, for lack of a better word, pine tree. But that's just a personal opinion. It won't affect my decision making.”
