“Can you, Randy, do me a favor. I love what you're doing. And don't be insulted by my lack of attention span for your brilliance. But can you put in a few sentences, to a layman, or let's say to a fifth grader, what this means, which my intellect is at the level. Exactly. Are these any changes that we're going to approve here, or the effects of what we're going to approve, and the side effects, which could be good, hopefully, from these changes that we're making? And how would it affect the residents?”

“Bob, let me ask you a question. And this is not a trick question. It's just a memory question. Remember when JC was the manager, there was a point where we just compelled every single property on the West Island to have an inspection of their backyard, particularly along where the cables are, and then just They were noticed that there was an inspection, and they were noticed if there was a tree that was possibly touching or too close to the power lines. So what did we do? What was our procedure then?”

“Right. Because I remember them, you know, the ass blue trucks, they would go around the perimeter regularly. Yes. But the interior locks, not.”

“But now that was a very important fact that you put into this fact pattern, because it was kind of an end run to compel FPL, not the homeowners, because they were going around. inspecting wooden poles that were leaning or just looked dangerous.”

“Right, right, right. So what can be done now to really kind of fast track the enforcement of trees that are violative of the easement and too close to the power lines? You know, I empathize and sympathize and relate to what Councilman Yaffe goes through, because I was on his grid as well. And it was almost like we were living in a third world country, the number of power failures we had per month, not per quarter. Right.”
Town Council · Oct 14, 2026

“Is there any way that we can, and this is for you, Lindsley, is there any way that we can engage Chelsea Lund in just at least a campaign to inspect all the grids on the West Island and possibly on the East Island as well. I'm not sure. I think the power lines are more on the front rather than the back.”

“And if possible, we can get them to underwrite the cutting back of the trees, whether it be removal of trees or severe and high impact trimming of the trees.”

“And that's incredibly dangerous. I've seen palm fronds, you know, not just hanging with the arcs. They were arcing with the power lines.”

“All right. It's been moved and seconded. Poll vote, please.”

“OK. You know what? Since we're doing, since we elected to put 15.1 onto the agenda. I'm going to take that out of order because the guys are here for that. So we'll have discussion on that before, you know, we'll take that 15.1 out of order.”

“Okay, so he said 30 days. Um, So do you second that for 30 days? Is that what you had in mind, like a 30-day window to solicit other proposals?”
Town Council · Oct 14, 2026
- Play at 1:47:02
“Right. The retreat is not my concern right now. My concern is making sure that we give ample time to folks across the city, across the state, even across the country to come and solicit us for their proposals as well. I mean, I think 30 days might be a little short. The vice mayor just mentioned that there are holidays in between whenever we get to the holidays.”

“OK, I think 45 is a good compromise. Ezzie, do you? Yeah, I concur with that. OK, do I have to take a motion for the amended motion?”
Town Council · Oct 14, 2026
- Play at 1:47:54
“All right. So you second the 45 days? Yeah. OK. Now, getting back to, I guess, the discussion we had prior to really getting into the meat of the agenda, Carlos, you planted some seeds of doubt in our minds. I think the manager reminded us that we have P3 counsel. And manager, can you confirm to us that everything that is in our agenda kit relating to this item”

“All right. So I don't think there's going to be a lot of discussion on this at this point. But it's been moved and seconded. I don't have any comments myself. Are there any comments from the council regarding moving forward? OK. As far as more in detail? No, I think this is more of a procedural approval.”

“OK, great. So now at least we have a process, guys.”
