“Look at, but maybe you do a section of the park, not necessarily the whole thing. Read what they've done. I'm sure what they presented to you is what they want doesn't necessarily mean that's going to be the end result. You can't make your determination on that.”

“Oh, great. Thank you. And this is a good thing to be presenting at this meeting because we are also approving the proclamation as September 19, 2026, as National Cleanup Day. So, totally appropriate timing to recognize the Beach Keepers here in Delray Beach. And I will read the recognition. Beach Keepers Inc. is a Delray Beach-based 501c3 nonprofit environmental beautification organization that has been active and in good standing since February 2017. The organization coordinates volunteer cleanups through Delray Beach and South Florida, focuses on beaches, parks, city streets, waterways, and…”

“If you want to say a quick 30 minutes, 30 seconds, excuse me, not minutes, I apologize, Mayor. No, that's fine. And then we'd love to take a picture with you so that you can have a photo. Okay, great.”

“I would say thank you for coming. It's always a pleasure to see you. And I think we were just, I was just talking to Kay Johnson about the children rating and how important it is in that scenario where we need some improvement with the younger children. And I would be remiss if I didn't say we did have our education roundtable, the first ever. Nice. And it was... Quite a great experience, and I would say very productive, I think, outcomes for us in how to move forward and help our children get a better quality education and also young adults moving into the workforce. So thank you very much,…”

“I turn it over to you. 6F1 is the appealables. The second item is the SPRAB 826 decision on 120 Southwest 3rd Avenue. We look closely at what SPRAB is doing, because sometimes those projects don't come back to us for review. And in this case, I think we should just give this. This project deserves our review up here. It's 120 Southwest 3rd. The project density proposed exceeds the base allowance, according to the report. It's five units on 0.46 acres. There are street tree reductions and questions about performance standards. I have not fully seen the presentation, but I do believe that we…”

“No, it is, but it kind of is because this may be, I understand, but the grant program we should take, I've said this before, you're using a portion of this grant money towards this program.”

“Right, but I'm saying we should revisit that decision. In this current fiscal situation, I don't know how we could possibly be doing that and go to prevention.”

“And when the fire chief stood up here, I went and watched it the other day. It's $251,000 right now. And that's at the base with one individual. And what the chief said, plus there's the retrofitting of the fire station, which is a $700 charge according to that document.”

“And this is not giving us even the lowest level of service. The chief said, once this program begins, I am going to be coming back in front of you and asking you for more money. That is what Chief Martin said at his presentation. And my concern is, I brought up over $3 million of cuts last time. I don't know why that gentleman said I brought none. 2.954 million of the cuts that I brought up are going in this budget. And that still only takes us down a tiny bit. to give the residents relief. I don't say this isn't a good program. I'm just telling you I don't know how we can begin down the road…”

“Right, but some portion of that money we were talking about using for it. So I just want to have, I'd like to have the full discussion now because I think it's important. It's all working together.”

“Well, I'm going to bring it up at the budget because I do think it's in our current budget that we need to revisit it, Judy.”

“But he said with this price, you can only do one person and you're not really going to have... In other words, it's like you're not even half doing it. It's putting in a little bit of an effort. And at the end of the day, we all know once you hire somebody in that department, in that job, it's a commitment. It's a long-term commitment. And I just don't know that, I don't know how we sit here talking about the finances and say we're going to make that commitment. I don't think it's responsible. I think we should use the opioid money to...”
