“Yes, I agree with with that, and I think that by reducing the number of parking spaces that that should be a requirement. To either have the bios well or the rain garden. My opinion is it should be a requirement because we're reducing the number of required parking spaces.”

“My concern is not so much with you, but of subsequent owners coming in and not being as neighborly as you appear to be. I came in here ready to say yes because I understand the situation, but the limitations Give me pause. I'm not sure right now. I still can't tell you whether right now whether I'm going to vote for or against, but my limiting factor in my head is I really think you made a good presentation, and I would love to see it farm in there. I know that it will help us with stormwater. It will help us in a lot of ways, but that's you. Somewhere down the line, you may not own it, and…”

“I think this is important enough that we need to schedule a meeting, maybe December or January or Saturday. where we sit down and work on this and work it out together within the public and the audience because we would have to notice it so we could all be together to do it. And I think this is important enough for us to do that. I do have a little bit of consternation, I'm sorry, on the 405. because if we push the took the 405 in there which would be something that our tpo would be doing i'm concerned that we would lose something that we really need here in the city that's the only reason…”

“Vice Mayor Cole. Okay, I don't agree with that because I just think it's gonna take a little bit longer for us to work on it and really have a good feel for what we're requesting. And I don't think it's gonna take an hour. I think it's gonna take more than an hour to do that.”

“My concern is very similar to that of Member Nelson, because if it's easy to do this, It's just like someone gets a credit card and they overspend and they're unable to afford it. That's the concern I have is that if it's too easy for them to get the money, the consumer to get the money to do the project, they may ill afford to be able to pay it back. And that's why I have the same similar concern that member Nelson has. I don't want to jeopardize our constituents. If you know, I've had family members to have done this where it's free money, I'm going to use it and they get in trouble by…”

“But the homeowner still has to pay back the monies that have been spent to the contractor. So it's still, I still have consternations about it.”

“Vice Mayor Cole. I was wondering, now on the boil water notice, I know the water department goes around and knocks on doors and puts tags on doors. I know they do that. But my question was, does the sheriff's department have anything where they send out missing persons and old people alerts and things like that? I know they do it in West Palm because I get the alerts. If they do, no, it's not because I'm old. But, I mean, does our Brevard County Sheriff have a system in place that they could do it?”

“I know how I feel about the person that continually reminds me that she was my third choice. And I don't know why after this time that you were my third choice because you have totally impressed me, especially when you sit up there and you recite statues without using a piece of paper. And I mean, it's very impressive. And your personality has permeated throughout City Hall and I haven't spoken to anyone that has not felt comfortable with you or felt comfortable with the words that you give and the legal advice that you give. And I'm going to do the evaluation. I just haven't done it yet. But…”

“You know, having been a base commander and had like 5,000 people working for me. But I didn't have to work for one person. I think the hardest, one of the hardest parts of a job as a city manager is, like Member Stoeckel said, you've got five bosses. And you know, you have to treat each one equally and everybody has different demands. I think that's very difficult. I thought being a city manager after I had managed a base would be a piece of cake. But managing a city is just a total different ballgame. There's so many different aspects of it. I want to commend you on what you did on the…”
