“And Mr. Mayor, if I may. What's that? If I may. Yes. Can you also bring back a budget of what this is gonna cost? We're making decisions here coming up in the next few weeks on our budget. And I think just boldly going out and replacing all the flags might be something we not need to do right now. So if we can understand what the cost is of this to change these out across the city, it'd be good to know.”

“what anybody's fear is about finding out what folks are thinking so with that councilman fletcher yes thank you mr mayor and although i i can agree with some of your points i believe this is putting the cart before the horse and if if in one day we have to make this decision to to move elsewhere i believe it puts us at a strong negative position when it comes to bargaining If we have a poll out there that all the residents and the customers of the city want to go to FPL, that gives them a stronger hand in any negotiations because they know the people want to go that route.”

“Well, I kind of agree with your concepts a little bit, but at the same time, I just believe it puts us at a strong, or not so strong, negotiating position. and all of us are put up here to make a decision and unfortunately we don't know what that decision is going to have to be yet come november we're going to know where exactly we stand when it starts coming to taxes and at that point we're going to have to make a decision it may not just be the electric enterprise it could be solid waste it could be water and sewer we may have to look at all of those things i think we need to wait until we…”

“No, and again, I think that's why people elect us at the time. Once we find this information out, we're here to make that determination. And it's going to be what it is at election time at that point.”

“Thank you, Mr. Mayor, and thank you for the presentation. I tend to come to these on a very skeptical side because the lack of action in our CRA over the last seven years that I've been here has been pretty bad. Things have changed. We have a new director who I have the utmost clarity in his qualifications to perform his job. But in his recommendation, it was for us to provide, to look and provide. He didn't really provide us direction on how they want to see this. And shame on me because I was supposed to go meet with him this week and I did not. I need more details. You already have these…”

“I appreciate that. I do. And I still have some skepticism on the triangle property just because nothing's happened. You know, so again, shame on me. I didn't have my discussion with the director and I need to have some more data. I'm not going to get that tonight. I don't believe I'm unable to support this in its current configuration. I have to have more information. And it's something I don't think you can provide me tonight. Thank you.”

“Anyone else to my left? Board Member Fletcher. Yes, thank you. And I'm sorry I didn't ask this question earlier in my briefing, but when did we actually purchase the building, the actual date?”

“It was in 2023, so we expended $4 million at that point in time to purchase the facility. I'll tell you from the beginning, I haven't been a fan of the project. It's, you know, hearing Councilman Roth, and I'm going to listen to his expertise in the rental market, I think, you know, short term, this is a, it's a money loser for us. But if we don't do anything, it's a money loser for us. CRAs are built to help to try and reinvigorate. I'm kind of open to what everyone else has to say, but I've not been a fan of this project from the beginning. However, if we continue to let it sit there, I…”

“Yes, thank you. leaning towards option one but i also have a question in regards to we've spent a lot of time and money rebranding the city over the last couple of years and and coming up with a standard homestead and now this is different than some of the other ones that we've done”

“If you go on our website, it's different. On our letterhead, it's different. No, I agree. Just look for some standardization is all. Other than that, again, option one with the vice mayor's comments. That's all. Thank you.”

“And then Councilman Kongsky reminded me of this. And you may remember, as we were kids prior to Andrew, there used to be a huge Australian pine buffer on that south end. So maybe we make that part of the new reimagination on the whole buffer zone, that we plant some bigger trees that . Yes, sir. That's all.”

“Thank you. I'm sorry for my delay in getting here this evening. It is still my understanding that we're just here to provide direction to the CRA director to enter into negotiations, basically. We're not signing a deal for sure tonight. To bring back an agreement. To bring back agreement to us.”

“Yeah, so I mean, tonight this sounds pretty two-sided. It seems like it's you against the councilwoman or vice versa. And in my view, let's talk about the mayoral term. This was approved an election and a half ago to increase to four years based on the information that basically if you're a mayor of a city and having to run every year and a half, you don't have time to build any momentum and work towards the same items that we each have that ability to during that four year time. I think if we're going to move forward with something like this, it's important for the community to provide…”
