“I'm sorry to interrupt you, but just to ask, they've made a representation as to pre-construction or construction hiring and operations hiring. So in your experience, what's a reasonable time prior to the start of both activities, construction commencement and operations, for them to hold the job fairs that they proposed?”
“We'll see what we can, we'll make that request.”
“Sure, I think we are, my intention to the CRA that we hopefully will have approved here in the next month is to examine those segments. And so I'm wholeheartedly in favor of creating that condition. And we have another, there's a student housing project that we are not gonna have. Any say over? Because it's happening in the unincorporated county, just on the site next door. And so, again, I think what your point is, we need to make sure we're coordinating all these elements so that that cross-axis works.”

“It's a good point. I would normally be supportive of it. I don't know that we have the legal authority to require that any longer given preemptions by the state that were adopted this past year.”
“Nor do we have, I don't believe we even have the ability to enforce it if they even agree to it. So I think that's one of the, again, I don't want to, unfortunately, Tallahassee every year has been encroaching on our authority. And so I don't want to send a message out to the community that we're going to ask it and then we can't enforce it because at the end of the day, it's not that meaningful. But we hope, I think hopefully they've received the message that we want to make sure they're paying people fairly and at market rates.”

“And lastly they're starting around just to clarify so six months before construction start and operations conventions. It was both. Okay.”
“I mean, if you are building a pretty substantial parking structure, I'm not sure what that's going to be, an element that's advanced first. But it certainly seems like an opportunity to park on site. On site. Potentially. OK.”

“Is there a motion on item 9, please? I'll move it.”
“No. So item 9 is the variance. So is there a motion to adopt the variance? I'll move it. Is there a second? I don't think so.”
“Okay, but motion by Commissioner Kaye, a second by Commissioner Bonich. Thank you. Madam Clerk, if you can call the roll on item nine, please.”
“Thank you. Item 10, is there a motion? And the motion to be, it would be a motion to approve, if it's to approve, with the modifications discussed to the conditions, correct?”
“Correct, okay. Modifications to the amended resolution. So we have a motion to approve? With amendments. Okay, with the modifications, yes. Is there a second?”
