“We're doing the same thing that FDOT does, the same thing that Marion County does, because there's three different slots on there. We're basically doing the same thing that the Marion County Sheriff's Office does when they look at the detail thing. Okay.”

“This... So... Like we had discussion before, this is exactly... One meeting, please. This is exactly... where Mike has sent me. He sent me to the exact right person. And then this is where the verbiage is coming straight out of theirs. It also, when we benchmarked other cities that have made events all the time, what's the one by Leesburg? Mascot.”

“We went through it right. That's where else we benchmark. They're more like us, a small town, and ours mirrors exactly what they have also. Okay.”

“Okay. We don't charge rent for the building. Everybody gets to use that for free, all right?”

“It's not complicated at all. When Public Works goes and turns it on, they'll take a picture of the meter when they go because the application has the time for starting the electric and turning the electric off. So Public Works will be there at that time to turn the electric on. They'll take a picture of the meter. When they go turn the electric off, they'll take a picture of the meter. That form will probably end up in Shawna's lab. Electric rates are real simple. It'll be however many kilowatts or how many watts have been used times the rate.”

“It's your turn to speak. Okay, it's about taxpayer risk, and that's what we've been talking about. All this Facebook stuff, all the lies that Danny has come up here. Mr. Mayor? No, it's on record. We have shown where that's true. I can say anything as long as I'm in the guidelines of the law and I'm representing my constituents. They're tired of hearing Danny come up here and lie. I get phone calls. I get texts. I get everything. Everybody knows it. We have shown it up here nonstop. Rex keeps bringing Facebook stuff up here, and he keeps repeating Danny's lies. We are here to represent the…”

“Okay. For the electric, we don't get – we went through that. We do not charge rent for that building. The taxpayers should not be paying rent for the organizations because they're fundraising events. This, where everybody's city gives out their, instead of saying that, we have all the documentation that Mount Dora does. We have the documentation that Ocala does. We have the documentation for two other cities. I can't remember who they are. Excuse me, who they are. They have already experienced issues. They do not loan out, give out their barricades anymore because they had issues before.…”

“No, it doesn't. Because the... The restaurants pay for DCBA services through their property tax dollars, et cetera. And the DCBA brings in competition to our very taxpayers. And they also advertise more for outside Dunn-Ellen than inside Dunn-Ellen. So the whole thing is just... To let the DCBA dictate to us, and that's exactly what's happening, and not listen to our constituents and our taxpayers, we're violating our oath, what we're supposed to do for them. This event, this ordinance is very clean with the changes. We have bent over backward to listen to everybody. Anybody that had a…”

“Mandy, ethically, this is not right. I want to hear from Andrew that this, what do we do so that this person is not allowed to sit up here and lie, and he certainly is not allowed to sit up here and talk to our department heads and our staff like that.”

“Mr. Chairman, I interject something about a site setback. It's not just for an air conditioner.”
City Council · Sep 9, 2026

“You got it. If a setback goes from 10 feet to 8 foot, 6 foot, regardless of number, I don't think it works like you've got a 10-foot setback, and then where the air conditioner goes, it's going to be a 4-foot setback, come back in, and a 10-foot setback. Once the setback is set, I'm just going to pick a number, six foot, eight foot, that whole thing is six foot, eight foot, and at that point anything can be put in within that setback.”
City Council · Sep 9, 2026
- Play at 1:33:23
“Well, the setback is 10 feet. Okay. So everything has to be within that setback is my understanding. House, air conditioning, whatever it is. If the setback is reduced to 8 foot or reduced, I think we're talking to 6 foot in this case, then that gives, we'll use 6 foot versus 8 or versus 10, that gives 4 foot along that whole property line that will be varianced, if I'm probably in the right term, that anything can go in. It could match.”

“So now I can put a generator in, I can put in anything I want in that space and be only six foot away from the neighbor's property.”

“Yes, I just have one thing. The way I understand whatever the six elements were that had to be followed, if this variance were to go through, then basically we have set precedents, and that can be done anywhere. So at that point, the 10-foot setbacks don't mean anything.”

“I don't see this as being the issue is not because of the uniqueness of the land. The issue is because of the size of the home that somebody wants to put on this particular property. I understand your point. Does anybody understand what he's talking about?”

“I think the point O'Neil was making, we don't have any information in front of us that specifies the number. We have enough information to vote on the width, the 96 feet versus the 100, but until we have something in writing or something like that that spells out exactly what somebody's asking for side setback, we really don't have enough information, in my opinion, to vote on a side setback.”
