“A man Mary you've done an incredible amount of work here and I'm not really comfortable commenting on all this all this work at this point and you know I wonder if we could look restrict our comments to the package that we received so we you know I know all of us prepared and went through this budget and I know there's some changes that you made which I think is pretty cool. Right. But I I'm not prepared to talk on 81 pages.”

“If these changes and improvements are made, are you open to voting for this? Because I think we have to think about, are we going to do the rollback? Are we going to keep the millage the same? You know, what's the feeling? We can't talk, the public doesn't know this, but we can't, we're restricted from talking to each other. So the only time we really get to talk to each other is up here, and sometimes it's not always nice. you know but you know we should we should have an idea this is the most important thing we do as a commission is pass this budget are you uh are you intimating that with…”

“HOW DO I FEEL ABOUT WHAT? THE BUDGET. ARE YOU IN SUPPORT OF THE ROLLBACK OR ARE YOU WORKING THROUGH THIS AND YOU THINK YOU COULD KEEP IT THE SAME OR DO YOU WANT TO INCREASE THE MILLAGE RATE? WHERE DO YOU STAND?”

“So keep it at a rollback rate and then move the parking money into the general fund?”

“Green and the mayor are saying that they're there in support of the rollback rate, but with some possible moving of some funds. I'd love to hear what commissioner Corey commissioner Butler had think about this because if everybody's moving towards the rollback and I think we've accomplished something in this workshop.”

“So I wonder if we as a commission could give guidance to our staff, you know, are we going to consider the 4.6 and the rollback? Are we going to consider both these budgets? If so, that's important that we say it now for our September meeting. If not, if we're just going to do the rollback, and I know two of the commission said that they would support the rollback with some added benefits in there of added changes perhaps they could share those changes with us before the September meeting but I do think that we should give them guidance are we going to just stick with the rollback are we…”

“Is that your feeling too, Commissioner Reed? I don't want to say on the question what you're asking me. So are we asking the staff to present two budgets to us at our meeting in September?”
Town Commission · Aug 26, 2026
- Play at 1:32:10
“So I would recommend to the staff that they present the rollback to us in September. And then we work on it from the commission at that level. I'm disappointed in that. However, if that's the way it goes, that's the way it goes.”

“Thank you. So thank you, Madam Mayor. So I think Commissioner Reid brought up some good points, interesting points. I've done a lot of research and looked up some of the regulations on this, and it seems that because this is a system that has to do with stormwater. We've got a stormwater pipe right there in the picture. We were also addressing surges and tides and erosion and all this stuff that this is actually applicable for our stormwater fund. I don't think it's really in contention. And then we have the letter from Anna Saunders, which is good. And then we also have a note from the the…”

“So if you want to make a motion now then we can do so make sure this. So I'd like to make a motion that we approve of the are are a P for the 6th Street seawall as recommended.”

“So I would just take exception because if you look at Florida statutes, they say anything on the shoreline that involves a design that must address compound flooding, whether surge, tides, or stormwater, is considered part of the stormwater. So I feel like a seawall like this, where we have flooding and different issues like that, it really fits the definition pretty well. And then we also have the experts saying it does. The other concern I have is we have a bid right now, and if we wait too long, that bidder has seen all the other bids. And so if we don't take the bid now, that bid's going…”
