“so with the um so the progress of the city projects pretty much so how that came about i remember when we were um at a cra meeting and i think it was you councilman herzik who had made a motion to have like this progress tracker of the cra projects and um many times i get a lot of questions uh from my constituents about and they're like hey what happened to this i thought you know this was supposed to be happening at this year that year For example, with Palmetto Beach, with the seawall. And so I've had some constituents ask, what happened to that? And then we have, you know, go and of course…”

“to your first comment about, we were talking about projects and the money that is allocated. I think there was a suggestion made, I cannot find what page, but to have whatever money is allocated to a project that you have to spend it within that fiscal year on the project.”

“Oh, okay, that's the one. The clandestine questions. Which number was that? I think I circled it. number 22 yeah yeah 22 be required to expand within the same fiscal year in which the budget is approved yeah so I mean I think that that is and even if again, going back to the accountability and the transparency. If we allocate something and then we find out, oh, well, we haven't done it yet. Well, now we've allocated this money two, three, four years, and it hasn't been spent yet on a certain project. So again, it may not be something, I don't know if it's something that goes in the charter,…”

“Councilwoman Young. To Councilman Vera's point saying having something kind of set in stone so that it doesn't become politicized I think is important. I oftentimes people ask me, so what else do you do? I don't have time to do anything else. Oh, you don't have another job? No, this is it. Like, this is not, and this is just, you know, from, from my experience, but I think having something so that we don't, because nobody, it's like the conversation that you know is important, but you really don't want to have to have and so if you have something so that you don't have to you know even people…”

“And I'm fine with that. When I was looking through the documents, so the city of Jacksonville does have an ordinance for, I guess, for similar language. As long as there is just some kind of accountability. Because I think of myself or us, when you get a dollar, it's in your pocket for what? Maybe a couple hours, a few days. If somebody gave me $15 million... want to spend it so I want to be sure like if we allocate money for something for project that we're spending it that we're being accountable to the community with the projects letting them know like this is where we are this was…”

“No, I just, my motion wasn't specifically for sidewalks. It was just towards the neighborhood action plan. Yeah. Towards the neighborhood action plan. But that was one of the, um, areas that was identified when I did have the conversation. Yes.”

“So you wanted to do more sidewalks? Not so. I had a conversation with Abby and Lauren And these were the three, out of the Sulphur Springs Neighborhood Action Plan, these were three of the areas that were identified as where money could go towards to continue to put money towards Sulphur Springs, but towards the Neighborhood Action Plan. So if I'm hearing you correctly, Brandon, sorry, I didn't mean to, did you put her, did you put her time back?”

“Yes, thank you. So these were kind of the three buckets that were identified, and this came out of, the Sulphur Springs Neighborhood Action Plan. So we have the minimums to the max for each area. I wanted to bring it to council to kind of get, see what route you all think, because I was thinking at least doing the minimums for each area, because that coupled with the improvements that are happening with the parks, I think it would be really good investment in the area in different buckets. So if that is, you know, if the council feels that, you know, is a good area to go, I would want to do…”
