“So I understand what you're saying about conflict of interest, but if a separate CAP engineer that's not you, there's still a conflict.”

“it's not entirely appropriate for you to do that but that's your choice now for every agenda item I like to open it up okay I'm gonna go to council person urban the only thing I was saying before is the only thing I continue to think is that there's only two choices right the two choices it seems it's coming out of this is the borer thing or to get an engineer to go out there and do the study but I just don't think the resident should be THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ENGINEER AND THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I STAND AND THOSE THAT'S WHAT I SEE AS FAR AS THE TWO CHOICES COUNCIL COUNCILPERSON URBAN AND…”

“Well, but a variance is not required. So by right he had, he's able to do the 25 feet back with the six foot. That's what we were told at the planning and zoning back then.”

“It wasn't approved. And then it was... The original variance was approved for... It was denied.”

“It was denied. For the original variance, when he came, he wanted a four-foot coral wall at the regular setback.”

“Correct. So I just want to make the point that I think a lot of times, and this may be my fault, right, because I'm such an active mayor, but I think a lot of times people think as mayor I can make decisions the decision, right, and that comes here. I'm not a strong mayor, right? We have a manager form of government, so I can't make those decisions. As a matter of fact, I do everything I can. I mean, I even go to the line, sometimes over the line, trying to be as active as I possibly can, you guys, you know, but there's only so much I can do. And to make things move forward, once I get…”

“Yeah. It was a long time ago. So that's just the way our government is set up. And so there's just so much I can do before I have to go through other routes. And that's the reason why we're here.”

“all right i'd like i'd like to make a motion if i may okay let me make a motion yeah yeah we're going to do we're going to do that in a second um we want to make sure that the motion we can like legally make it i'm not sure what attorney gill is going to say about that so we want to make sure we're that because i heard a lot of legal stuff going on today um just want to say for the record you guys that uh as far as signing off on things and this may be something that the manager cannot sign off on but managers do have administrative approvals and administrative adjustments. Manager Alou used…”

“What do you want me to do? So like I said, I always go to the line, sometimes over the line, but I'm trying to do everything I can do, but I can only do so much. Back to the council, we have, in my opinion, we have two, pathways right we have the the bora and we have the engineer structural calculations getting the engineer to come in there as i said before personally i don't believe that the resident should have to pay for an engineer to do that but that's what i see are the two pathways that we have i'm opening up to you guys”

“Thank you very much, I'm gonna let you guys jump in a second. The first thing is, so everybody understands, Northeast 2nd and North Miami Avenue are state-controlled. Everything else is county-controlled. There's nothing that's elk or towel-controlled, right? So, go ahead, Attorney Geller.”

“So whenever we do anything on the streets, like for example, we do something like that, we have to go through the county. If we do something on Northeast 2nd or North Miami Avenue, it's F dot Florida Department of Transportation, state. It's just the way it is. So it could be city, whatever, it could be whatever it is, you do something on the street, if it's city whatever, that would mean that if there's a stop sign right here that doesn't touch the Northeast 2nd or North Miami Avenue, you can remove the stop sign. You can't just remove a stop sign. If you wanna put a stop sign, you can't…”

“So the only thing I would say is this. I would say that we should make a motion to gather the information on it and then come back to the council to vote on it. There's a lot of things we have to decide on. For example, since, when did I first send this out? What is this, January? Since January, I've gotten our engineer to do all the specs and everything to fix that road that's over there by Shorewood Forest Park, where the street is actually disappearing. That needs to be fixed also. So Elbertown, unfortunately, we don't have the big budget, everybody else does, so we have to decide where…”

“All right, thank you very much. Anybody else from the council? I'm gonna go up to you guys in a second. All right, let me open it up to you guys really quickly for this particular item.”

“Anyway, amen. Anyone else good in welfare for this particular item? Going once, going twice, back to the council. Okay, so Attorney Geller made a suggestion, which is they go, they gather all the information, and get everything ready to bring back to us at another meeting, whether it's public safety or whether it's, I mean, whether it's Public Works or whether it's a council meeting. We'll decide that later. But is that a motion someone wants to make?”

“Do you guys feel like staff, that July is enough time to gather all information? Do you feel like it's July or do you want to wait until September? I mean, we can do a special meeting another time, like if it comes down to it. We can have a special meeting in August or something if we need to. Yeah, I'm just saying what you think y'all's capability is. Okay. Okay.”
Village Council · Jun 23, 2026

“All right. So, so we have a motion to bring back all the necessary information to make a decision on moving forward with this or not. By the July council meeting. All right, somebody want to say yes to that?”
