“everyone in the audience, mayor, commissioners. It's been a busy few weeks here in District 5, serving, celebrating, and connecting with our community. I've been to a lot of the events with my colleagues. I'm not going to repeat them all. I did want to highlight a few events and activities. I joined Light Orlando for their fourth annual Hunger Project, where we worked hard to pack one million meals for families in need. If you're looking for a way to get involved, check out Volunteer Opportunities with Light Orlando. Kidney health is really important in our community, and I want to thank our…”

“So I'd like to say this. We have sat down and did a CRA vision plan since 2014 in the CRA. It's really sad that we have voted on projects throughout the years and we get to a voting part when no one thought while we were planning out these projects and developments and staff work hard to bring every elected individual up here's visions into reality. that we get to a point that facade funds have not been allocated, that we get to a point where we don't want to support an agenda and we don't want to support a fiscal budget within the department. That is unfair for the hard work that staff and…”

“THANK YOU ALL FOR THE PRESENTATION. SO THIS IS AN OPD QUESTION. This presentation was focused a lot on e-bikes and rules. What are we doing as a city to enforce proper drivers and enforcing drivers who are not given the right of way to bikes? So one of the videos you show a lady with the kid was in a bike lane where he should have been and he got hit by like the car ran him over. Like what are we doing as a city to ensure that our bikers are safe? Because if we're looking at implementing, especially our younger kids, so thinking about the community that I live in where our kids are biking to…”

“Okay, to touch on something that was mentioned, I think we need to start evaluating at our larger intersections the lights. So I'm going to speak as a parent whose child gets stuck on OBT because it is a four-lane road to cross. The lights are not long enough to cross. So a kid will take the chance of running, like, let me dart across here while I have the opportunity and there are no cars, then running the risk and sending out a light. Those lights usually only allow you to go halfway across and then you get stuck in the middle. some of those the the medians are not large enough to sit and…”

“So I want, from an OPD community perspective, I want us to be cognizant collectively about age restrictions because it does leave room for profiling. And we get hit with that enough in our cities and our communities. So I want us to be cognizant collectively. As you saw, the governor just vetoed the regulations and the stipulations that were in place. um you know we'll have a new administration come january but i want us to be as a council i want us to be cognizant especially in the minority communities um where profiling is already a thing so i want us to be cognizant of ages um the the…”

“I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO RUN COMMUNICATIONS, ALL OF THE DEPARTMENTS INVOLVED, TO RUN CAMPAIGNING ON EDUCATION. I THINK WE NEED TO DO A FULL EDUCATION CAMPAIGN SO EVERYONE IS AWARE. I THINK THE MEDIA IS HERE, DOESN'T POTENTIALLY HELP US WITH THAT, BUT I THINK USING OUR SOCIAL PLATFORMS, ALL OF OUR NEWSLETTERS AND ALL OF THE DEPARTMENTS TO LET FOLKS KNOW WHAT'S RIGHT, WHAT'S WRONG. I don't think the scary OPD videos work, Chief Smith, because it causes confusion and causes more uproar than anything. But just like even if you sat down and say, we welcome bikes like in the positive manner, we…”

“RECENTLY I READ AN ARTICLE THAT I BELIEVE PRESENTED A MISLEADING NARRATIVE BY IMPLYING THAT THE CITY OF ROLANDO'S, OH, LET ME BACKTRACK. GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. Okay, recently I read an article that I believe presented a misleading narrative by implying that the city of Orlando's procurement policy changes directly caused minority and women-owned businesses to lose contracts, lay off workers, relocate or close. However, the article did not provide specific evidence establishing that casual relationship. It did not examine other relevant factors such as contract performance, pricing…”

“Do we have so the last few years and a lot of annexation of property do we have any fiscal future revenue dollars of what we would anticipate so we talk about hiring freeze but there can't be a hiring freeze if we're annexing and so do we have. preliminary numbers on what all of the more massive annexations that we've done what those revenues so for example i was just over there the other day rose arts district will be the that community will be built and there's potential for revenue so are we calculating the future for developments that we approved that are already on the way to be able to…”

“Okay, so I know that communications is working on communicating to the community. I think it's important, you know, Commissioner Chapin, I think it's important that we talk about those things in our communities. For example, as we start building out Sunbridge, there's going to be a park, there's going to be a recreation center, right? And if we're looking at potentially doing a hiring freeze, how will that impact the communities that exist? So I'm going to say this, and I'm not going to say it publicly. Minority communities always struggle the most, period, right? Because there aren't…”

“Mayor, I do have one more question. Do we know if anyone has filed an appeal to repeal it with the judge and where we are with it? Because I've heard that because the referendum currently has multiple items in it and by law it's only supposed to have one. Does anyone know where we are in that process?”

“Yes. I wanted to stay right here. So what I don't see on here are We added a massive amount of red light cameras. Um, I don't see that anywhere highlighted here and where those projects are going because a majority of them did end up in district 5 and so as we talk about like rehab and at this that's going to be a key component that I didn't see highlighted here the additional cameras that we've added across the city I didn't see that highlighted anywhere at all in this this presentation because that was one of the key components when I asked a question when we approved it last year was that…”

“But I'll just add, Commissioner Bursa, what you have to think about is, and I'll give an example. If there's a 911 call, a police officer and a firefighter can't leave the scene. So overtime is a must. Then if officers or firefighters get hurt, then somebody has to pick up their time. So it's better to have the money in the budget and let's monitor filling the positions because the more positions we can get filled, which I think collectively we all need to be working on making sure we're encouraging our communities to become police officer and firefighters, the more we can fill our positions…”
