“Then maybe that would be clearer. St. Andrews Bay and is it tributaries? Sure. So I read it and it's like, okay, is that a creek or? Dig a pond. I think that would be clearer and easier to be definitive in a decision-making process.”

“Yeah, I feel a lot better about that So Michael have a follow-up question to I see the number 500 feet and as you imagine st. Andrews Bay and it's your tributaries and you see in your mind's eye a where our light industrial zoning is presently. Do we have any light industrial within 500 feet?”

“I just wondered if, you know, if thought went into, okay, our most precious water body is San Andrews Bay. And are we protecting it enough with where we know our light industry is when we say 500 feet in storm surge? You know, we've got a map in our comprehensive plan. Here's our storm surge. Is there been an evaluation that says, okay, where they are in 500 feet is enough that when we have another hurricane, we're not creating a consternation for ourselves.”

“So as we look, because we're fixing to look at our future comprehensive plan, if we're imagining 2046, are we creating something that we don't, those unintended consequences by saying just 500 feet?”

“well I think a compliment what you're saying to Aaron is and we've got we started the language you know our water bodies were free to limit to our st. Andrews Bay and our tributaries you know you know often st. Andrews Bay is our most precious ecological resource so protecting it is you know utmost importance and this language starts at that you know what started our conversation is why 500 feet And is that enough or is that too much as we look at protecting our St. Andrews Bay and its tributaries? And I guess the thought for us to contemplate is, is there any other resource that we need to…”

“I do kind of a process or a question, and this may be for you, Michael, um, I've got lots of tabs for specific questions on things. And I can imagine my colleagues do too. So as we identify something and we deliberate and we talk about something and we have a suggestion for an improvement or a suggestion for a change or something, how does that relate? How do you take that idea and move it forward or not move it forward?”

“um maybe in the tone of improvement but not necessarily in the category of restrictive um some different kind of maybe creative thinking maybe a way to coin it some of the things that i have in mind um but i just wasn't sure i think we need to decide how we're going to decide before we move out i don't want to have a cereal that aaron makes a suggestion and he's not sure how it moves forward, that we need to decide how we're going to decide if a topic is brought up.”

“How are we going, how are we going to decide say aaron has an idea oh we like that idea we think that that'll make the city of panama city a better place oh yeah you have to do it live work and play yeah you would do that as the board motion and second the motion is like motion that answers my question so we're gonna so as we have a deliberation amongst us and it's something that we're kind of getting a feel for us someone needs to create a motion it needs to be seconded and we'll vote”

“And I think we ought to do that in a public setting. I didn't want to bring my questions individually to a staff because I didn't think that was appropriate, that anything that we have to say we need to say in the sunshine.”
