“Madam Mayor, I am in agreement with what you said. I think we should have a policy brought forward because this policy is already happening. And I think if the council, by resolution, adopts the policy, that will also provide better education. So I don't know if there's a third person, but I would like to see that come forward.”

“OK. I just wanted to verify that. I don't know if staff can answer this. Because to me, clear is good. Clear is always good for the public. I APPRECIATE THE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE BECAUSE AS MR. RADERY STATED ON RECORD, MANY OF THESE CHANGES COUNCIL CAN'T FORCE THE DEVELOPER TO DO BECAUSE BY LAW WE'RE ONLY ALLOWED TO FORCE WHAT IS ACTUALLY WITHIN OUR CODE. SO THEY ARE GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT'S BEING REQUIRED. THAT'S IMPORTANT TO SHARE. I ALSO WOULD LIKE STAFF TO DISCUSS WHAT IS THE LEVEL OF ABILITY FOR THE COUNCIL or any municipal body in the state of Florida to get into the…”

“It does, but I just want to further clarify. So for example, when someone applies for a land use change and we have in our most situation, we have a comprehensive plan, we have a DRI, there are certain parameters that they have to meet in order for council to agree or disagree. So for example, in this situation, being that we're being, we're a body, a judicial body, without getting into how we're going to move forward. If the conditions are met, is it almost in a sense of a legal requirement where we have to verify the conditions have been met and then we approve the conditions and then…”

“And I just want to say there's certain things that we're able to consider as evidence in this portion, and there's certain things that there's not. And I just want to make sure that as we move forward in the process, we're clear. I appreciate the applicant's willingness to actually address many of your concerns within this actual item. Because I don't think that they legally needed to do that. That being said, as we move forward for site plan, you know, I do take your comments into consideration in regards to what you've shared with the public and how you're going to move forward. So I just…”

“So first of all, I really want to thank everyone for their comments this evening. As many of you watch national TV and national news, I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to be in a room with individuals who can agree to disagree. and do it respectfully amongst each other. And I'm not necessarily talking about us and you. I'm talking about each other in your community. I think that that's the hope of America right now is that we can get back to agreeing to disagree sometimes and still be able to play pickleball or enjoy music together or take a walk in your paseo and enjoy each other's…”

“ANY FINAL DISCUSSION? YOU JOGGED MY MEMBER ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE. TOO MANY NOTES, TOO MANY COMMENTS. JUST REAL QUICK. MARY, BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE DON'T LEAVE WITH AN EXPECTATION. TYPICALLY BY ORDINANCE WE HAVE TO SEND OUT FOR THESE CHANGES FOR THE ACTUAL LAND USE CHANGE. WE HAVE TO SEND THOSE OUT. DOES SITE PLAN GET NOTIFIED IN THE SAME WAY AND CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO THE PUBLIC WHY OR WHY NOT?”

“Right, and I appreciate that because I think for the question of transparency, Sarah, I know our website's changed over time. There is a location for, and if we can, we can share it with you. There is a location where people can sign up for emails, sign up for site plan, planning and zoning meetings, council meetings so they can get notified, and then you just look at the agenda and it's going to be able, you're going to see the site plan change language that is being proposed so you can follow it. So I just want to set expectations, Mayor. Sorry. It's okay. Great.”

“Any questions? No, I almost want to say, madam mayor, you've been such an advocate to this particular, um, discussion with the conservation lands. I was like, do you want to pass the gavel so you can make the motion? Cause I just think, you know, like this is, this has been, um, one of the things you've championed. No, thank you.”

“Any other questions? Just one. You had mentioned pools. I had a question from a resident. recently in regards to an unsecured pool. Do we still treat those as emergency situations?”

“Request for time for abatement is 24 hours on those So they have 24 hours to secure that pool or the city's coming in there with their vendor and securing it because of the life safety Yeah, I was gonna say I was like, I don't know how the rest of the council feels But I really think that when it comes to polls, especially with the drowning issues that unfortunately we've had You know, I think we Could we literally hand it to them and and change immediately, as quickly as possible. So once this process, if this passes, once this process is available, I want it as quickly as possible. I mean,…”

“May I ask what council's temperature is on that particular nuisance? Because I would be OK with the city manager making that immediate determination on a pool, on an unsecured pool.”

“I have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Madam Mayor, just a discussion quickly. I cannot find the email now, but there was an email. I don't know if the council received it in regards to the concern from a resident and the covert replacement program. Any update on that particular issue specifically? And I think that there is some legitimacy if, for example, the inspections, it sounded like something that we inspected. The inspection, when they actually completed the work, it wasn't really needed. So I wanted to provide some context for the record.”

“no i'm not in conflict with the item i'm just this is i just want to understand i guess in the future is who's truly inspecting and how are they i don't know there's a certification for it but i just think that whoever is inspecting there needs to be some form of process i mean and I don't know the situation either, but especially if we're asking someone to make such a major investment of that nature. So that was just my concern is the proper person inspecting it.”
