With
liberty
and
justice
for
all
fact
of
the
day
on
july,
26
1775,
the
u.s
postal
system
is
established
by
the
second
continental
congress,
with
benjamin
franklin
as
its
first
postmaster
general
franklin
put
a
place
put
in
place
the
foundation
for
many
aspects
of
today's
mail
system.
During
early
colonial
times
in
the
1600s
mail
deliveries
from
across
the
atlantic
were
sporadic
and
could
take
many
months
to
arrive.
There
were
no
post
offices
in
the
colonies,
so
mail
was
typically
left
at
ins
and
taverns
in
1753.
B
Benjamin
franklin,
who
had
been
postmaster
of
philadelphia,
became
one
of
two
joint
postmasters
general
for
the
colonies.
He
made
numerous
improvements
to
the
mail
system,
including
setting
up
new,
more
efficient
colonial
routes
and
cutting
delivery
time
in
half
between
philadelphia
and
new
york
by
having
the
weekly
mail
wagon
travel
both
day
and
night
via
relay
teams,
franklin
also
debuted.
The
first
rate
chart
which
standardized
delivery
costs
based
on
distance
and
weight.
A

H
H
The
other
thing
I
want
to
cover
before
I
get
into
the
subject
that
I'm
here
about
today
is
your
minutes
from
the
last
meeting,
apparently
whatever
I
said
after
four
minutes
was
cut
off,
because
I
called
for
the
mayor
to
be
censored
because
of
his
questionable
property
pursuits
and
dealings
with
developers.
That's
nowhere
in
the
minutes.
It's
a
public
meeting,
it's
public
record.
It
should
have
been
reflected
it's
in
the
recording,
so
I'll
call
for
it
again.
I
request
that
the
commission
censor
the
mayor
on
all
issues
regarding
property
deals.
H
Zoning
permitting
and
any
kind
of
development
processes
be
censored
and
removed
from
any
kind
of
votes
involved
with
it.
So
that's
up
there
now
it's
in
the
four
minutes.
It
should
be
there,
I'm
here
tonight
to
talk
about
safety.
What
I
didn't
get
to
tell
you
guys
last
time,
because
I
got
cut
off
at
four
minutes-
is
why
I'm
having
a
hard
time
cleaning
up
my
yard,
I'm
having
a
hard
time
cleaning
my
yard,
because
I'm
working
with
one
arm?
Why
am
I
working
with
one
arm?
H
Because
I
tripped
on
one
of
your
poorly
maintained,
sidewalks
and
I
have
to
have
reconstructive
surgery
on
my
shoulder,
I'm
60
years
old.
They
have
to
repair
the
labrum,
the
rotator
cuff
and
rebuild
the
tendon
that
goes
to
my
arm
muscles.
I
can't
pick
up
anything
heavier
in
a
bottle
of
water,
so
I'm
trying
to
clean
my
yard
and
do
that,
but
I'm
injured
at
the
city's
fault
tripped
on
a
sidewalk
at
the
park
where
the
sidewalk
shouldn't
be
in
disrepair,
but
they
are-
and
I
was
going
to
talk
about
some
other
stuff
tonight.
H
But
then
I
heard
mayor
nelson
last
week
talk
about
getting
grants
for
replacing
concrete
and
asbestos
pipe
and
galvanized
pipe.
So
I
want
to
make
it
quick,
concrete
and
as
best
as
pipe
in
the
state
of
florida,
it
doesn't
have
to
be
disturbed
the
ground
vibrates.
All
the
time
all
it
takes
is
seven
particles,
seven
fibers
per
liter
to
cause
intestinal
cancers
and
polyps
galvanized
pipe
causes
an
increase
in
lead
in
your
water
pipe
causes,
mental
defects
and
slow
learning,
defects
in
children
and
health
problems
in
adults.
H
We
have
miles
of
those
pipes
that
I
thought
was
replaced
years
ago.
The
city
doesn't
even
have
the
tenacity
to
write
a
letter
to
the
constituents
and
the
consumer
to
say:
hey
your
water's
coming
through
concrete
and
as
best
as
pipe
there
may
be
health
hazards
associated
with
it.
Take
some
action
on
your
end.
H
H
When
you
clean
the
lint
filter
out
it's
in
the
air
and
it
gets
in
your
nose,
mesothemial
all
sorts
of
cancers
and
problems,
and
yet
this
city,
not
just
for
this
admin
but
for
previous
admins-
has
the
audacity
to
not
even
notify
the
end
user
that
the
water
they're
getting
may
be
contaminated
with
letter
asbestos
and
the
only
way
to
tell
is
end
use
testing,
which
means
it
has
to
be
tested
inside.
The
house
from
the
meter
to
the
house
is
my
problem,
but
what's
being
delivered
to
the
meter?
H
Is
your
problem
and
it's
gone
unchecked?
I
heard
him
say
we
went
begging
for
grants
to
replace
concrete
and
as
best
as
pipe,
I
don't
know
how
much
the
grants
are
for,
but
the
city's
sitting
on
about
it's
my
understanding
well
in
excess
of
50
million
dollars
of
emergency
reserves.
If
hazardous
pipes
aren't
an
emergency,
I
don't
know
what
the
heck
is.
But
let's
leave
the
money
sitting
in
the
mayor's
banker.
H
H
Safety
needs
to
be
foremost
for
the
citizens,
the
employees
and
everybody
in
this
city
and
somewhere,
it's
gotten
lost,
so
ask
yourself:
integrity,
morals
and
ethics
or
complacency.
What
area
do
you
fall
into?
My
four
minutes
is
up
I'll,
be
back
in
two
weeks
and
see
you
again
with
four
more
minutes.
I
A
C
I
I
That
july
13th
was
worse
than
may
21st
that
we
even
had
to
call
9-1-1
for
the
fire
department
to
help
us.
I
want
to
thank
commissioner
nesta,
commissioner
velazquez
and
commissioner
benson
for
their
responses
to
my
emails.
However,
I
have
not
heard
from
the
city
of
apopka
employees
of
how
they
will
help
us
to
fix
this
continued
flooding
issues
in
the
shiller
oak
subdivision.
I
I
am
extremely
concerned
for
our
personal
safety
and
the
total
loss
of
our
homes
due
to
continued
flooding
issues,
I'm
extremely
worried
because
we
are
in
the
middle
of
hurricane
season
and
the
flooding
that
we
have
experienced
has
been
with
afternoon
showers,
not
during
hurricane
season.
I
have
lived
in
the
city
of
apopka
since
2004
and
I
have
not
experienced
this.
The
first
incident
that
we
had
was
in
july
2019,
my
neighbor
pamela
ripley's
house
got
completely
flooded
and
so
I'm
extremely
concerned-
and
I
really
need
the
city
of
apopka
to
help
us.
I
J
J
Very
disappointed
in
what
our
direction
our
city
is
headed,
very
disappointed.
I've
been
with
the
apopka
fire
department
as
a
juvenile
back
as
a
youth.
Back
since
I
was
12
years
old,
roy
gillam
milton
hill
about
raised
me
over
there.
I
did
everything
from
painting
the
apparatus
equipment
inside
those
beds
and
old
trucks
to
help
wash
them
hose
to
put
no
parking
out
on
the
apparatus
apron
and
it
was
as
a
family
back.
J
J
J
J
We
failed
as
a
group.
We
felt
as
a
citizen,
the
city
we've
always
ever
since
today,
milton
hill
was
here,
we've
had
a
training
officer,
our
firefighters
trained.
They
cross
trained
between
the
stations
after
the
more
than
one
station,
so
that
all
firefighters
had
the
same
opportunity
to
learn
how
to
pump
on
engine
3
or
engine
4
or
work
a
tower
truck.
J
J
J
J
J
J
We
got
one
fire
inspector
for
this
whole
city
and
we're
putting
up
a
million
square
foot
of
commercial
buildings
a
month.
How
can
we
keep
up
with
that?
I
know
my
time's
running
out.
I
see
you
looking
at
it,
but
my
dennis
knew
I'll
be
back
next
week
and
I'll
keep
filling
you
in.
But
if
y'all
have
any
questions,
please
feel
more
free
to
call
me
I'll,
put
my
number
on
facebook
I'll,
write
it
and
put
it
out
on
the
street
sign
out
here
for
you.
J
E
A
A
E
E
E
I
have
a
long
way
to
help
me,
but
I'm
going
to
get
there
so
bear
with
me
this
evening.
If
you
don't
understand
something,
I'm
saying
or
whatever
I'm
sorry,
please
stop
me.
I
want
to
make
sure
you
have
all
the
information
as
clear
as
possible,
but
I
wanted
to
say
that,
first
and
foremost
that
I'm
glad
to
be
back,
it
was
a
rough
road
and
thank
god
for
prayer,
welcome.
L
C
E
E
So
the
first,
I
think
what
what
I
want
to
do.
First,
is
I'm
gonna
go
through
the
general
fund
first,
which
is
that's
our
major
fund
tonight.
What
we
have
to
do
is
set
the
military.
That's
all
you
have
to
do
tonight
is
set
the
military
and
you
have
to
set
two
public
hearings,
your
potential
public
hearing
and
your
final
public
area.
E
So
I'm
going
to
go
to
the
major
fines,
so
I
can
show
you
they're
all
balanced,
which
is
important,
I'll,
be
done
at
this
point.
No,
we
can
still
add
and
we
still
will
because
there's
the
budget
is
a
moving
target
until
we
get
to
september
banks
and
change
from
salaries
benefits,
but
the
budget
is
currently
built
for
those
small
kinds
of
changes.
E
So,
at
the
end
of
the
budget,
a
presentation
I
will
share
with
you
the
military
options
you
have
keep
in
mind
when
you
set
the
military,
you
can
go
down,
but
it's
hard
to
go
up.
It's
a
lot
more
difficult
to
go
up
so
wherever
you
set
tonight,
that's
pretty
much
your
cap
and
we
will
go
over
that
when
we
get
to
the
budget.
E
So,
on
from
the
general
fund
perspective,
you
can
see,
a
general
fund
is
balanced.
Revenues
and
expenses
are
balanced
at
a
little
more
than
64
million
dollars.
That
is
almost
10
percent
more
than
the
prior
year,
almost
six
million
dollars
more
just
in
spending
that
you
have
for
23
than
you
had
in
22.
E
So
kind
of
where
does
the
money
go
from
a
functioning
standpoint?
You
can
see
public
safety,
that's
almost
61,
that's
up
one
percent.
From
last
year
last
year
it
was
close
to
60..
So,
as
you
can
see,
more
of
the
budget
is
going
towards
public
safety.
This
year
than
in
previous
years,
public
services
has
got
about
five
percent
parks
and
rec
is
almost
12.
E
Transfers
is
2
million,
general
government
is
9
or
14,
and
a
half
percent
and
community
development
is
about
five
percent.
So
that's
where
your
dollars
are
going
from
your
general
fund
monies
from
expense
standpoint.
Personnel
makes
up
almost
70
percent,
67
of
the
budget
is
personnel,
23,
almost
24
percent
is
operating,
expenses
and
capital
outlay
is
about
6.6
or
7.
E
If
you
look
here
at
your
property
tax,
your
property
tax
is
up
21.5,
a
big
increase,
one
of
the
biggest
increases
we've
ever
had
in
property
taxes,
almost
3.6
million
dollars,
so
big
big
property
tax
increase
in
property
tax
revenues
due
to
growth.
And,
of
course,
you
know,
the
property
can
go
up
three
percent
on
homestead
properties,
so
the
one
of
the
biggest
ones
we've
ever
had
moving
down.
I
wanted
to
show
you
sales
tax.
Well,
let
me
let
me
go
up
and
go
communication
services
tax.
E
E
I
want
right
here
in
this
topic.
I
can
tell
you
keep
in
mind.
This
number
is
changing
every
day
they
make
projections.
This
is
the
latest.
We
have.
I've
already
received
one
adjustment
that
reduced
by
50
000..
It's
not
a
big
number,
but
I
just
want
you
to
know
as
we
move
to
through
this
process,
when
we
get
to
september
it
couldn't
go
down,
it
doesn't
seem
to
be
going
up,
it
seems
to
be
they've,
made
a
projection
you're
looking
out
in
the
forecast,
and
they
think
they
may
make
some
more
adjustments.
I
hope
not.
E
50
50
000.
yeah,
but
keep
in
mind,
and
we
keep
saying
this:
that's
why
you
have
reserves.
So
if
we
build
this
budget
and
they
come
back
and
the
state
says
you're
going
we're
going
to
lose
300
000,
that's
where
we
can
use
our
reserves
to
keep
our
budget
balance
where
it
is.
If
we
have
to
that's
why
we
have
that
as
well.
F
E
E
Moving
down
to
zoning
fees,
you
can
see
zoning
fees
over
55
000
last
year
or
200
000
this
year.
This
is
the
one
jim
was
talking
about
he's
getting
ready
to
bring
you
some
changes
to
the
plans
and
zoning
fees,
the
new
user
fees.
So
we're
going
to
have
it.
We
we'll
have
a
projection
of
increased
revenues
because
those
fees
haven't
been
increased
in
a
long
time.
So
we're
doing
he's
going
to
bring
you
those
as
well.
E
E
E
A
It's
just
kind
of
like
we
have
with
the
water
company,
we're
just
you
know.
There's
we
got
a
company
that
somehow
they've
got
the
ai
to
figure
out
if
there's
people
that
have
that
are
incorporated
in
a
pocket
that
aren't
paying
their
business
tax.
So
we
figure
like
this
is
a
great
way
for
us
to
to
collect
some
additional
revenue.
That's
just
do
us,
it's
not!
It's!
Not
new
taxes
is
just
collecting
more
of
the
revenue
that
we
are
owed.
So
we're
excited
about
this
new
contract.
E
K
F
E
Okay,
okay,
so
you'll
see
ambulance
fees.
We
talked
about.
If
you
recall,
in
a
fire
department
workshop,
they
talked
about
the
additional
revenue
for
medicaid
that
we
can
get
because
we're
part
of
that
program
now
with
our
new
ambulance
billing
process
and
everything
they
have
projected
150
thousand
dollars
in
ambulance
free
revenues.
So
that's
a
new
number
that
additional
revenue
that
we
will
get
our
new
revenue
will
get.
That's.
A
E
E
E
Let
me
see
moving
down
to
most
of
those
revenues
are
pretty
much
pretty
even
pretty
flat.
One
of
the
other
ones
is
pretty
big.
That's
significant
if
it's
reserved
it's
important
to
highlight
we're
using
about
1.4
million
of
the
reserves
to
balance
this
budget.
That's
about
what
we
used
last
year
as
well,
keep
in
mind
that,
even
with
this,
using
this
1.4
million
reserves,
we
still
are
maintaining
a
25
reserve
balance
in
your
general
fund,
so
you'll
still
be
at
that
level.
E
Yes,
well
you're
using
reserves
that
it's
not
really
it's
not
savings.
It's
a
reserve.
It's
like
a
savings,
account
you're
right.
You
look
like
that
way,
but
reserves
are
established
for
this
purpose
to
help
balance
the
budget
for
emergency
purposes
and
things
of
that
nature.
Like
I
said
earlier,
if
the
state
comes
back,
the
state
could
come
back
in
the
middle
of
the
year
and
say
that
10
million
I
gave
the
number
I
gave
you
is
going
to
be
9
million
and
we
have
to
make
that
difference
up.
A
E
E
Yeah,
I
think
what
I
think,
the
reason
what
you
have
there
and
bradley
is
going
to
come
back,
we'll
be
able
to
come
back
to
you
and
give
you
a
overview
of
our
recreation
department
with
with
our
programs,
camp
boot,
camp
programs
or
whatever
we
had.
It
was
our
first
year,
so
we
weren't
sure
about
exactly
how
those
programs
would
fall
out
and
how
the
revenues
are
thought,
but
keep
in
mind
when
he
comes
back
to
show
you
that
your
expenses
are
offsets
almost
very
similar.
E
So
we
didn't
collect
the
revenues
from
those
programs,
but
we
also
didn't
expend
your
money
for
some
of
those
programs,
but
he's
once
he
gets
a
year
a
year
of
camp
as
we
walk
in
and
we
can
come
back
and
show
you
that
picture,
but
we're
still
camp
still
finishing
up
out
there.
So,
let's
do
it
bring
those.
E
E
These
are
putting
everything
together
to
hurt
the
workshops,
putting
it
all
together
to
funds
to
show
you
how
we're
funding
that
in
the
general
fund.
I
will
tell
you
that
everything
you
heard
the
workshops
that
they
presented
is
in
this
budget.
Nothing
has
been
eliminated
from
what
they
presented
from
it,
whether
it
be
staff
capital
operating.
It's
all
in
this
number.
E
So
from
the
expenditure
side,
let's
start
with
the
expenditure
side,
the
merit
pay
up
to
six
percent
merit.
Pay
is
still
included
in
this
budget
same
as
it
was
last
year.
So
that's
in
here
the
longevity
pay
we
talked
about
when
we
were
trying
to
help
the
employee,
but
in
because
of
inflation,
we're
trying
to
figure
out.
Where
can
we
help?
How
can
we
give
the
employer
a
little
more?
How
can
we
help
them
in
these
tough
times?
E
They
can
still
get
up
to
your
six
percent,
and
I
will
tell
you,
we've
reached
out
to
other
jurisdictions
to
find
out
where
they
are,
and
most
of
them
are
around
four
or
five
and
a
couple
of
close
to
six.
Some
are
still
trying
to
decide
where
they
are,
but
we
reached
out
to
see
how
we
were
in
comparison
to
everybody
else,
and
we
were
the
top
up
to
six
percent
was
was
the
max
that
people
were
giving
so
we're?
E
We
are
in
line
with
some
of
those
places
so
and
as
they
build
their
budgets,
we'll
continue
to
watch
that
to
kind
of
see
what
our
neighbors
are
doing,
but
I
think
we're
where
most
everybody's
going
to
be
so
long
as
every
pay.
We
talked
about
that
earlier
in
the
workshop,
but
we've
doubled
the
longevity
pay
as
a
way
to
kind
of
help
our
employees,
because
some
kind
of
way
to
give
them
back
give
a
little
more
back
to
them
and
the
good
thing
about
this
is
it
comes
in
november.
E
We
usually
give
it
before
thanksgiving,
so
the
employee
has
it
during
the
holiday
season
as
well.
So
this
is
one
way
we
felt:
how
can
we
give
back
a
little
bit
more
to
the
employees,
keep
in
mind
it's
based
on
longevity,
so
those
employees
abilities
longer
will
get
more
than
those
who
have
been
with
us
for
a
small
period
of
time,
but
it
does
give
them
a
little
extra.
Longevity
check
wasn't.
A
L
E
E
The
police
department
competitive
pay
adjustments
that
you
heard
from
the
police
department's
presentation
all
of
those
increases
across
all
of
those
employees
and
those
functions
are
included
in
this
budget
number.
They
are
funded,
so
we
have
17
new
positions
in
the
general
fund,
I'll
go
through
each
one
of
them,
real
quick.
I
know
you've
already
heard
these
departments
say
them,
but
I
want
to
kind
of
give
you
those.
E
You
have
two
crossing
guards,
new
crossing
guard
positions
and
we
increased
the
crossing
guards
from.
I
think
they
were
13
or
14
to
15
an
hour
hoping
we
can,
you
know,
become
more
competitive
and
help
the
commissioner
of
last
page.
You
talked
about
the
part-time,
seasonal
people.
We
have
a
little
bit
of
extra
funding
in
here
to
be
able
to
help
with
those
you
know.
If
we
have
some
issues
or
whatever,
we
want
to
be
able
to
help
incentivize
some
of
those,
because
sometimes
it
can
be
hard
to
hire.
E
Seasonal
we've
seen
that
with
some
of
our
camp
counselors,
it's
been
difficult
to
hire
camp
counselors,
so
we've
put
some
additional
funding
to
try
to
help
with
those
as
well.
We
have
put
in
additional
funding
with
our
park
rangers
to
be
able
to
bring
them
up
to
15
an
hour,
and
we
have
a
few
positions
that
are
right
on
the
cusp
of
15
an
hour,
we're
going
to
adjust
all
of
them
and
bring
them
to
15,
since
that
is
going
to
be
the
minimum
wage
number
and
25
that
we
have
to
be
at.
E
E
But
we've
budgeted
enough
in
there
we
always
budget
a
little
in
case
we
want
to
add
another
person
or
whatever
we
have
an
issue,
so
we,
but
we
have
fun
in
there
to
take
care
of
that
the
same
with
the
salaries,
the
people
that
are.
If
you
have
somebody
making
14
and
50
cents
an
hour,
we
there's
enough
funding
to
bring
them
to
fifteen
dollars
an
hour.
K
E
You
have
six
new
firefighters
that
are
funded
in
this
budget.
You
have
a
web
content
and
social
media
analyst.
You
have
a
gis
coordinator,
two
multi-code
inspectors,
you
have
a
parks
worker.
If
you
recall,
you
talked
about
bringing
the
parks
worker
on
for
beautification
to
help
keep
the
city
trash
cleaned
up,
I'm
a
financial
analyst
accountant,
one,
an
accountant
clerk.
You
have
those
positions
funded
an
hr
specialist,
also
including
the
budget.
E
K
E
E
So
one
of
the
good
things
about
this
budget
is,
we
reduce
the
annual
debt
payment
by
1.2
million
because
we
paid
off
a
couple
loans
so
that
allows
that
1.2
to
be
spent
in
other
places
within
the
budget,
keep
in
mind
we're
also
getting
ready
to
come
back
to
you
with
the
public
safety
complex
that
would
require
a
debt
service
payment.
So
it's
really
good
that
we're
getting
things
lined
up
getting
the
debt
off
the
books,
so
we
can
add
another
piece
of
debt
and
that
will
be
a
significant
debt.
E
E
Well,
as
you
heard,
the
number
is
about
53
million
dollars
right,
we're,
hoping
that
you
know
we
still
have
to
do
design
about
four
or
four
and
a
half
million
dollars
just
to
do
design.
So
we
have
to
do
design.
Hopefully,
by
time
we
get
design
done
coming
market
will
be
hopefully
supply
chain.
Things
will
be
a
little
bit
better
and
maybe
it
won't
be
a
63.
Maybe
it'll
be
45,
but
keep
in
mind
when
we
originally
do
it.
We're
looking
at
35.
B
E
But
hopefully,
hopefully
we'll
you
know
we'll
get
some
better
deals.
Hopefully
once
we
get
to
the
design,
if
you
remember
the
designs,
you
said:
take
10
to
12
months
to
design
it.
So
that
gives
us
some
time
to
hope.
No
one
gets
construction
phase.
Also
we'll
be
bringing
back
the
debt
presentation
to
you
to
issue
the
debt
for
the
building.
E
A
E
A
You
know
that
was
about
a
600
and,
I
think
640
thousand
dollar
debt
payment
for,
for
you
know,
for
the
the
whole
park
property.
So
what
we
thought
as
we
roll
whatever.
That
number
would
be
looking
like,
probably
eight
million
dollars.
We
could
borrow
eight
million
to
make
major
improvements
at
northwest
and
still
have
the
same
payment
going
forward.
So
that's
kind
of
the
thought
process.
E
E
You
have
the
vfw.
Video
audio
system
is
budgeted,
caitlyn
nelson
gazebo
replacement
for
expansion,
that's
in
there
and
then
the
restrooms
and
racquetball
roof.
The
roof
at
fitland
nelson
in
the
bathroom
needs
replacing
that's
a
significant
roof
that
we
have
replacement
in
here,
and
so
that's
also
included
in
this
budget.
E
E
So
we
went
over
these
revenues,
but
I
will
go
over
them:
real,
quick,
again:
3.6
million
dollars
or
21.8
increase
in
property,
tax
revenues,
927
or
8.6
in
sales,
tax
revenues,
250
in
communication
services,
tax
revenues,
290
and
fire
inspection
fees
increase
based
on
the
fees
we
just
adopted:
150
ambulance
fees
for
medicaid,
145,
000
increase
in
planning
and
zoning
fees.
Okay,
we're
going
to
bring
you
those
105
in
business
tax
revenues
we
talked
about
that
earlier
and
then
we're
using
1.4
of
the
reserves
to
balance
the
budget.
E
E
E
Tonight
what
you
have
to
do
tonight,
like
I
said
you
have
to
set
the
millage
rate,
keep
in
mind
wherever
you
say
it,
you
can
go
down
in
september.
You
can
go
up,
but
it's
difficult.
It
takes
a
big,
it's
a
big
process,
there's
a
lot
of
work,
so
it's
better
to
say
hi.
If
that's
where
you're
going
or
that's
what
you
wish
and
we
can
come
down
or
you
can
set
currently
where
we
have
it
balanced
at
4.1876.
E
But
we
have
to
notify
the
property
appraiser
by
friday,
this
friday
of
where
that
nose
rate
will
be,
and
we
also
have
to
set
the
public
hearing
dates
and
right
now,
just
what
what
we
are
recommending
to
set.
Those
dates
are
september,
wednesday
september,
the
7th
at
5
15
here
in
the
student
council
chambers,
that
will
be
your
attentive
budget
hearing,
and
then
you
have
to
do
a
final
or
a
second
budget
hearing
and
we're
proposing
to
do
that
on
wednesday
september
14th
at
six
o'clock.
K
E
Mayor
what
I'd
like
to
do
is,
I
know,
general
funds.
What's
what
we
have
to
do
tonight
and
you've
seen
all
that
and
I'm
here
and
staff's
here,
to
answer
questions,
and
we
can
do
that,
but
I'd
like
to
go
quickly
through
other
funds,
real
fast
there's
only
a
few
of
them
just
to
show
you
their
balance
and
what
your
department
is
presenting
to
you
are
including
those
budgets.
E
It's
you
know,
we
don't
have
much
of
that
left
and
we're
going
to
be
bringing
that
back
to
you
too,
to
show
you
where
we've
spent
all
that
money,
and
it
will
include
all
these
items
as
well.
So
you
can
see
how
that
money's
been
where
that
might
have
been
spent
new
sidewalks
of
a
hundred
thousand
keep
in
mind.
You
haven't
seen
the
impact
free
funds,
but
you'll
see
those
in
september,
there's
also
big
dollars
in
the
impact
fee
fund
for
new
sidewalks.
E
There's
a
truck
a
ford
f
550
that
they're
funding
in
this
one.
There's
a
speed,
hunt
program
of
fifty
thousand
dollars-
and
I
recall
pam
telling
you
we
were
going
to
put
extra
we're
going
to
put
75
000
in
there
this
year.
We
are
making
that
adjustment.
We
have
the
money
to
do
it.
We
have
enough,
so
we
are
going
to
increase
that
to
75,
because
we've
had
more
interest
in
that
program.
So
when
you
see
this
in
september,
it
will
have
an
additional
twenty
five
thousand
krpm
you,
director,
pam.
E
E
We
transfer
over
a
million
dollars
from
the
general
fund
now
to
help
it
and
we're
continuing
to
transfer
that
we
have
a
million
coming
from
the
rescue
funds.
Like
I
talked
about,
and
then
your
gas
tax
went
up,
108
000,
so
that's
that
fund
and
that
fund
is
balanced
too.
All
of
these
funds
are
balanced,
so
everything's
balanced
storm
water
fund.
E
E
Some
of
the
experiencers
that
you
heard
from
those
departments
were
some
big,
significant
capital
projects
and
the
recreation
complex,
reclaimed,
water
storage.
Pond
you
heard
there
was
a
big
amount,
how
many
regional
wells
that
they
talked
about
deepening
those
wells,
water
main
replacements,
lift
station
renewal,
replacement,
the
on-site
distribution
wastewater
system,
the
dollars
that
were
put
in
there.
E
The
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
mayor
spoke
about
earlier
about
the
additional
money
that
was
coming
in
from
the
from
having
the
eye.
We
have
no
water
from
the
water
office
of
america
that
400
000
is
included
in
this
budget
as
well,
and
then
your
rate
increase
from
your
stay.
If
you
were
called
it
came
and
brought
you
the
rate
stay,
they
showed
the
increase
in
rates.
E
E
E
E
He
had
you
can
see
the
major
items
there.
He
had
a
car
truck
a
pup
truck
two
garbage
trucks
where
we're
doing
an
advance
payment.
He
spoke
about
we're
going
to
put
a
deposit
down
because
it
takes
12
to
14
months
or
longer
to
build
those
trucks,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
we
start
building
those
trucks,
so
he'll
have
them
for
24.
E
The
revenue
highlight
also
we're
going
to
be
bringing
you
that
in
the
august
meeting
we're
requesting
a
six
percent
increase
in
the
sanitation
rates
because
of
the
increase
in
in
fuel
and
increase
in
garbage
the
hauling
rates
he
showed
you
how
they
were
going
out
was
going
to
county.
So
we're
doing
that,
bringing
that
to
you
to
be
able
to
keep
up.
We
have
to
be
able
to
keep
those
remnants
up
and
keep
up
with
our
experiences.
E
Also,
you
mentioned
a
little
bit
about
the
replacement
trucks.
Career
replacement
trucks
are
about
1.2,
1.3
million
dollars,
we're
going
to
get
some
back
from
insurance.
We've
received
some
from
insurance
the
trucks
when
we
sell
them
the
two
that
we
bought.
We
were
going
to
use
them
and
sell
them
to
get
cng
trucks.
E
We
will
sell
those
trucks
when
these
trucks
are
in
and
we
will
take
those
dollars
and
apply
to
one
of
these
trucks.
But
what
we're
going
to
do
is
bring
you
some
of
that
rescue
money
that
we
have
and
use
a
million
dollars
of
that
restroom
money
to
help
replace
these
garbage
drugs.
So
I
think
that's
good
use
of
that
money,
because
it's
a
big
capital
item
that
we
would
have
to
get
from
from
somewhere
else
from
your
sanitation
base
or
something
else.
So
I
think
that's
good
use
of
those
dollars
as
well.
C
Wouldn't
it
be
wise
to
keep
the
two
trucks
we
did
purchase
because
the
the
landscape
is
going
to
get
larger
for
picking
up
garbage,
so
how
many
trucks
do
we
have
for
what
we
have
right
now
in
residence
residential
communities,
but
by
the
time
we
get
the
new
trucks
we're
probably
going
to
have
one
or
two
or
three
more
new
developments?
So
that's
a
whole
new
pickup
for
the
set
for
sanitation
right.
How.
E
K
K
M
So
so
there's
some
financial
benefit
but
we'll
continue
to
add
trucks,
new
trucks
to
to
the
plant-
and
you
know,
we've
got
those
in
the
five-year
plan
to
cover
the
current
and
then
next
year
we
figure
in
the
growth
and
add
when
it's
time
we
add
new
trucks
and
then
another
operating
for
them.
So
but.
E
So
with
that,
I
will
go
back
to
the
general
fund,
because
again
we
that
is
this
is
the
action
you
have
to
take
tonight
is
based
on
the
military,
I'm
from
the
general
fund,
but
we're
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
have
staff
is
here.
If
you
have
any
questions
for
them,
but,
like
I
said
tonight,
we
have
to
set
the
millage
rate
and
we
have
to
set
the
public
hearing
days.
That's
the
requirement
for
this
evening.
Okay,.
C
K
N
N
N
It's
going
to
change
a
lot
of
things,
and
I
kind
of
mentioned
that
the
other
night
and
I
was
caught
off
guard
by
some
of
the
things
that
were
mentioned,
and
I
got
to
thinking
about
a
lot
of
that
stuff,
and
I
thought
I
want
to
talk
to
my
firemen
tonight
and
my
fire
women
tonight
too,
as
well,
but
cultural
change
does
not
happen
overnight.
I
understand
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're,
starting
with
some
of
those
changing
behaviors
starting
to
make
those
norms,
and
then
it
becomes
culture.
N
So
that's
something
I'm
harnessing
I'm
looking
forward
to
that.
I
want
that
to
happen.
I
want
to
take
a
look
at
our
entire
processes,
everything
a
holistic
view
of
our
department
by
a
third
party.
On
top
of
that
I've
been
soliciting
for
a
third
party
safety
consultant
to
come
to
our
department.
To
look
another
third
party.
Look
at
our
things.
N
N
N
N
It's
real,
don't
think
it's
not
we're
not
hurting
and
don't
think
that
I'm
not
thinking
about
that
kind
of
thing,
because
I'm
having
to
balance
our
family's
feelings
and
also
us
moving
forward
at
the
same
time.
So
it
hurts
when
I'm
accused
of
not
caring
or
not
wanting
to
move
us
forward,
because
that's
absolutely
false.
N
I
care
about
this
department.
I
care
about
our
people.
Even
the
day
of
we
had
multiple
investigations
going
on
with
the
police
department
state
fire
marshal's
office.
Had
people
come
up
to
me
chief,
why
they
keep
asking
us
the
same
questions,
so
I'm
trying
to
balance
many
different
things.
At
the
same
time,
it's
been
a
whirlwind.
N
N
N
None
the
only
thing
was
our
division
chief
of
life
safety
received
a
correspondence
asking
because
of
vacancy.
If
a
person
can
be
appointed
to
that
position,
he
was
on
a
cruise
at
the
time
and
another
email
followed
up
with
a
follow-up
email
saying
with
that
same
request,
but
nothing
about
an
emergency
request.
N
N
N
Even
following
up
on
a
drier
exhaust
vent
from
the
other
night
it
was
mentioned.
I
went
to
station
two
that
very
next
morning
looked
at
the
vent.
It
was
advised
by
chief
bowman
again
who
handles
our
facilities
that
the
issue
was
sent
in
and
even
a
lieutenant
requested
weeks
ago,
another
dry
event,
and
that
was
placed
back
on
that
and
it
was
handled
when
we
arrived
tuesday
morning.
It
was
in
position.
N
I
even
asked
him
about
the
safety
inspections,
quarterly
safety
inspections
that
are
supposed
to
be
taking
place
at
our
department,
and
this
morning
he
was.
I
was
provided
with
the
last
list
of
that
took
place
in
513
of
2002
of
those
inspections
and
a
year
five
years
worth
of
the
safety's
inspections
as
well.
So
it's
not
something
we're
ignoring.
N
I
immediately
offered
to
him
a
possible
40-hour
position,
filling
that
qa
position
he's
still
not
back
to
work,
he's
still
trying
to
figure
things
out,
so
that
is
coming,
but
I
also
wanted
to
offer
that
to
one
of
our
own
before
we
go
outside
a
lot
of
decisions.
A
lot
of
things
happen
behind
the
scenes
that
you
guys
aren't
aware
of
sometimes-
and
I
feel
like
I'm
not
even
asked
training
position.
We've
been
looking
at
something
phenomenal
with
orange
county
public
schools
starting
a
recruit
program
with
orange
county
schools.
N
Part
of
that
was
looking
at
an
mou
that
they
were
actually
provide
funding
for
a
training
person
for
us.
I
was
thrilled.
Some
of
that.
Don't
think.
I'm
not
thinking
about
these
items
and
just
also
recently,
and
that
person
was
a
lieutenant
knapp
asked
him.
I
was
excited
now
he's
going
to
be
a
district
chief,
but
months
ago.
Hey.
This
is
an
opportunity.
Is
it
something
we're
interested
in?
Yes,
let's
follow
up
on
that.
The
work's
changed
a
little
bit.
N
Is
that
we
are
moving
forward,
we
have
to,
I
am
dedicated
to
bringing
us
in
the
right
direction,
keeping
us
going
in
the
right
direction,
because
I
too
was
raised
in
this
department
and
it
means
a
lot.
It
means
a
lot
to
all
of
us
and
I'm
not
just
ignoring
it,
I'm
just
watching
out
and
trying
to
balance
a
bunch
of
different
things
at
once.
C
C
C
N
K
N
That
are
in
place
our
tones
that
go
off
at
night,
they're
safer.
So,
to
tell
it's
yes,
there's
things
in
place:
are
we
going
to
look
at
things
in
the
future?
Absolutely.
I
think
this
is
a
hard
look
at
everything,
which
is
why
I'm
excited
about
the
state
coming
in
again
and
a
third-party
person
coming
in
to
look
at
all
this
aspect
to
guide
us
in
the
right
directions
and
to
seek
some
of
these
things.
This
is
not
the
end
game.
No.
C
C
C
The
experience
is
not
there,
so
maybe
I
should
ask
you:
do
you
have
senior
officers
that
can
be
assigned
to
some
kind
of
training,
because
their
concern
is
that
a
lot
of
these
young
firefighters
and
you're
going
to
have
six
new
coming
in,
which
probably
are
going
to
average?
What
between
the
age
of
20,
23,
24.,
so
who's,
training
them
and
who's
who's
their
mentor
when
they
go
out
into
the
field?
C
And
so,
as
we
move
forward
in
this
budget,
you
know
the
only
thing
I'm
asking
is
to
have
some
kind
of
guarantee
that
right
now
in
place,
you
will
have
this
experience
or
you
will
have
someone
assigned
there
to
ensure
not
just
safety
for
the
community
but
safety
first
for
you,
because
that's
my
concern
as
a
retired.
First
responder,
that's
what
I
would
like
for
your
firefighters
to
feel
that
when
they
come
to
work,
that
there
is
safety
there
for
them.
C
N
Absolutely
you
know
we're
going
to
look
at
often
it's
cons,
it's
a
constant
risk
analysis
in
the
fire
department.
Look
at
and
look
at
that
stuff.
Look
at
some
of
our
senior
people
and
those
you
know
the
the
onto
job
training
has
been
a
tradition
in
the
fire
service.
We
have
a
lot
of
the
there's.
A
gap
in
the
right
now
in
the
fire
service
as
a
whole
is
just
kind
of
explaining
the
other
day
20-year
people
are
going
are
starting
to
leave
it's
a
cyclical
thing.
How
do
you
get
ahead
of
that?
N
We
have
programs
in
place
for
officer
development
that
I
developed,
which
is
actually
a
write-up
program,
so
someone
who's
going
to
write
up
as
an
engineer
now
goes
through
a
process
and
actually
gets
checked
off
to
ride
up
in
that
capacity,
same
thing
for
a
lieutenant
and
they
go
through
a
training,
portfolio
and
sogs
and
books.
When.
N
Task
book
yes
and
it's
a
it's,
it
goes
through
numerous
sogs
they're
related
to
that
position.
They
review
all
the
different
stuff
and
they're
checked
off
before
they're
allowed
to
ride
in
that
position
plus
time
on
someone
who
wants
to
write
up
as
a
lieutenant
has
to
be
an
engineer,
engineer
two,
which
is
now
a
different
task
book.
They
go
through
that
position,
go
through
all
the
things
that
are
required
of
that
position
and
they're
vetted
before
they're
allowed
to
ride
in
that
position.
N
A
A
N
A
Seven
eight
years
would
be
a
normal
yeah,
so
so
you
got
johnny
howe
with
19
years
experience,
that's
over
all
of
the
iso
training
and
then
you've
got
lieutenants
that
are
for
your,
your
voluntary
or
your.
You
know
non-mandatory
training
and
they're,
seven,
eight
years
worth
of
of
on-the-job
training.
So
that's
that's
your
your
level
of
people
that
are
out
there
making
it
happen
that
would
that
be
a
fair.
K
C
C
I'm
gonna
put
this
in
place
now
because
this
is
what
I
need
to
do
in
order
to
have
my
firefighters
feel
safe
and
for
them
to
have
somewhere
to
go
to
get
that
training
that
they
need,
and
so,
when
we,
when
commissioner
nesta
asked
about
the
safety
committee,
I
don't
think
he
was
asking
to
investigate
this
particular
tragedy,
but
to
kind
of
sit
down
and
do
an
overview.
How
can
we
now
move
forward
from
this?
Where
did
we?
What
did
we
miss?
C
You
know
we
that's
what
it
is
not
to
talk
about
it
because
you're
right-
and
I
know
that
from
my
own
experience
when
something's
under
investigation,
you
don't
discuss
it,
you
wait
until
the
report
comes
and
then
you
wait
for
some
recommendations,
but
you,
as
a
chief
can
say:
what
can
we
do
now
so
that
whatever
it
was
that
occurred,
we
we
realized,
we
shouldn't.
Have
it
happen
again?
C
K
C
N
C
M
N
Someone
else
we're
not
sure
if
he's
going
to
take
it,
it's
just
I
was
holding
that
position
for
now
and
to
see
how
things
were
going
to
work
out
for
him
that
it's
so
it's
it's
right
now
currently
qa
happens
with
all
of
our
reports.
We
review
our
reports
daily.
You
know
with
what
the
ems
side
we
need
to
sanchez
and
the
fire
suppression
side,
with
the
districts
and
with
their
so.
N
N
C
N
C
N
C
D
C
N
Well,
there
would
split
right
now
between
two
different
individuals.
Yes,
ems.
All
ems
training
is
handled
coordinated
through
the
chief
of
ems,
which
is
will
sanchez
the
suppression
side
when
we,
when
we
orchestrate
or
organize
and
have
classes
coming
in
a
lot
of
that's
set
up
by
suppression,
chief
chief
howe,
then
also
many
of
our
people,
our
lieutenants
different
chiefs
come
in.
We
have
outside
people
that
come
in
and
do
lots
of
different
training
at
our
training
center,
if
that
makes
sense,
but
that
is
also
orchestrated
by
a
lot
of
different
people.
So
if.
N
Expertise,
you
know
a
lot
of
our
lieutenants.
Are
the
task
force
team
trained
they'll
handle
a
lot
of
they'll
train
an
extrication
because
they
have
the
expertise.
You
know
there's
a
lot
of
little
niches
that
people
have
when
we
look
at
the
for
that
to
offer
that
type
of
training
to
our
our
staff.
Whoever
is
the
most
qualified
a
lot
of
times.
Does
the
training.
B
So
you're
basically
saying
we
don't
need
another
position
as
a
trainer.
We
need
to
reevaluate
that
we're
training
correctly
and
and
look
at
those
standards
and
are
we
such
as
when
I
get
in
an
airplane?
I
have
a
checklist.
I
do
not
skip
that.
People
have
taken
off
with
the
thing
connected
to
the
front
tire
just
to
drag
it
out.
Silly
things
if
we
don't
have
procedures,
so
is
that
this
is
a
tragedy
and
we're
all
feeling
it
and
we,
you
know
just
respectfully,
you
know
we
it's
difficult.
B
You
know
no
one's
trying
to
be
an
armchair
quarterback.
We
just
want
to
understand
and
we
want
to
do
our
job
here.
You
know
when
it
comes
to.
Are
you
needing
some
funding
for
something?
If
that's
going
to
stop
this,
then
we
need
to
you
know,
bite
that
off
and
make
it
happen.
If
it's
simply
a
matter
of
saying
this
tragedy
is
bringing
to
light,
let's
go
back
over,
let's
make
sure
we're
being
trained
by
competent
trainers
if
you
have
the
ones
that
can
do
that
and
you're
saying
basically
again
looking
for
solid
answers.
B
Yes,
as
of
now,
we
are
making
those
changes
by
reevaluating
how
we
do
our
training,
making
sure
everyone
is
training
correctly
and
that
we
do
have
experienced
trainers
and
so
you're
telling
us
that
you
don't
need
another
trainer
to
make
that
happen.
You
have
them
there.
My
only
concern
is
then,
if
this
q
a
position,
you
know-
and
I
love
that
you're
trying
to
hold
it
open
for
one
of
our
own,
but
we
also,
I
don't
know
the
dynamics
of
that.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
it's
not
a
position.
That's
really
necessary.
B
It's
going
to
create
a
possibility
of
a
dangerous
circumstance,
because
it's
not
being
filled
right.
You
know,
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
time
frame
that
you
have
set
to
fill
it
and
and
if
he
can't
step
in
there,
then
you're
going
to
move
on
to
someone
else,
but
again
just
not
leaving
a
gap,
leaving
an
open
door
and
just
those
assurances
that
it
is
being
taken
seriously
and
we
will
handle
any
training
positions.
N
So
again,
that's
something
during
this
whole
process.
We're
going
to
evaluate
absolutely
you
know,
and
that's
it's
you
know.
Training
is,
is
the
foundation
of
the
fire
service.
We
know
that
and
that's
why
a
lot
of
the
times
we
have
this
different
stuff.
Just
to
so
you
understand,
qa
position
is
completely
separate.
N
Qa
is
quality
assurance,
so
they're
a
person
who
reviews
reports
for
accuracy.
You
know
making
sure
that
all
that
that
is
actually
typically
a
citizen
or
non-combat
personnel.
It's
just
when
this
unfortunate
opportunity
happened.
It
was
something
I
thought
about
because
we
were
literally
getting
ready
to
fill
that
position
about
a
month
and
a
half
ago
when
this
happened.
N
That
was
one
of
my
first
thoughts
was
okay,
let's
reevaluate
and
maybe
be
able
to
potentially
offer
that
because
he
he
was
pa.
He
was
worried,
and
rightly
so.
He
didn't
know
what
the
rest
of
his
life
was
going
to
be
had.
We
could
be
there
during
the
day
or
what
so
it's
something
believe
me
it's
on
the
mindset
and
we
want
to
move
forward
with
that,
so
training
we're
going
to
reevaluate
it
absolutely
if
it's
something
you
know,
I
want
a
little
room.
B
I
just
want
to
make
sure,
there's
a
meeting
of
the
minds
and
a
real
sense
that,
yes,
this
is
not
being
shoved
under
the
rug
or
excuse
or
any
that
it's
like.
No,
we
are
going
to
do
the
things
that
are
necessary
to
make
sure
that
we
learn
from
this
honor
austin
by
looking
at
all
of
our
procedures
and
making
sure
it's
being
done
right.
B
L
L
Okay,
so
that
was
my
half
a
question.
So
then,
mr
bass,
is
it
legal
or
is
it
possible
for
us
for
the
city
to
contract
with
the
fire
school
that
we
send
our
firefighters
to
the
fire
school
and
then
they
build
the
city
and
we
pay
their
tuition
rather
than
the
firefighter
have
to
come
out
of
their
pocket
with
that
fund.
K
E
L
C
N
Okay,
repairment
to
be
hired
on,
you
have
to
be
a
firefighter
emt
minimum
okay
for
the
paramedic
school.
Yes,
that's
that's
what
we're!
Basically,
what
we're
doing
is
we're
reimbursing
them
if
we
want
to
sponsor
them
for
a
fire
school.
Those
are
considered
non-cert
type
programs.
Those
do
exist,
but
you
literally
hire
them
on.
As
almost
a
40-hour
employee
send
them
to
school
once
they're
done,
then
they
come
and
come
back
to
work
as
a
right.
L
O
In
order
for
the
city
to
recoup
its
investment
in
that
employee
and
that
if
they
were
to
leave
prior
to
that
time,
they
would
have
to
repay
the
city
for
those
costs
the
city
invested
in
them.
But
I
think
it
would
probably
work
best
as
an
incentive
than
the
city
entering
into
an
agreement
with
I
right
off
the
top.
My
head.
O
I
don't
know
if
these
academies
are
private
academies
or
or
public,
but
such
an
agreement
is
easier,
more
easily
administered
as
a
reimbursement
program
as
a
tuition
reimbursement
program
to
the
employee
than
entering
into
a
contract
with
a
third
party
to
for
that
to
be
billed
directly
to
the
to
the
city.
I
think
then,
there
we're
then
going
to
be
stepping
into
procurement
issues
that
I
that
we
would
needlessly
be
stepping
into.
L
Well,
I
I
would
like
for
to
look
into
it
and
see
what
the
possibility
is,
because
I
you
know
I've
just
graduated
from
high
school
or
college,
and
I'm
just
starting
my
job
and
all
of
a
sudden.
Now
I
got
this
three-year
commitment
that
I've
got
to
do,
and
you
said
anyway,
if
we
even
do
a
reimbursement,
they
still
have
to
make
a
commitment
they're
going
to
stay
with
the
city
flex
number
of
years
anyway,
right.
O
The
state
has
impo
that
has
authorized
local
governments
to
enter
into
certain
agreements
that
they
have
to
remain
in
the
employee
of
the
city
for
a
set
amount
of
time,
and
if
they
were
to
leave
prior
to
that,
that
required
time,
they
would
actually
have
to
reimburse
the
city
for
that
incentive.
The
city
is
going
to
make
an
advance
investment
in
that
person.
O
L
N
N
No
well,
we
had
the
retirement
of
chief
jones,
okay,
and
so,
when
someone
reached
out-
and
I
don't
remember-
I
mentioned
the
other
night-
I
really
wanted
to
diversify-
that
safety
committee.
I
want
a
firefighter
engineer,
lieutenant
district
chief
and
then
on
up
when
that
was
asked.
When
I
asked
that
question
one
tuesday
morning,
we
went
out
and
got
interest
and
established
again
new
being
just
new
personnel
to
that
safety
committee.
It's
been
in
existence.
F
N
N
That's
I
mean
he's
basically
tasked
with
the
training
and
then
his
inspection,
I'm
not
sorry,
not
training,
life
safety,
which
includes
inspections,
anything
to
do
with
the
public
and
things
like
that
and
also
he's
part
of
our
because
of
that
he's
part
of
the
facilities.
So
he
does
that
sort
of
task
as
well.
F
Well,
my
point
to
that
is
you're,
saying
that
he's
part
of
our
training
and
heads
training
he's
doing
ten
thousand
other
things
and
his
head
is
everywhere
else,
so
somebody
that
does
do
a
substantial
amount
of
different
irons
in
the
fire.
I
understand
that
sometimes
my
irons
get
a
little
cold
so
to
speak.
So
when
it
comes
to
safety,
training
inspections,
I
know
he's
at
drc
meetings.
That's
concerning
that
he's
doing
too
much,
and
if
he's
head
of
training.
N
F
G
F
F
I
feel
that
it
you're
coming
to
us
and
saying-
and
I
understand
as
chief,
you
are
going
through
a
lot,
and
I
appreciate
your
honesty
up
here,
but
at
the
same
time,
so
are
all
your
men
that
you
represent
and
they
want
to
you
to
represent
them
in
full
force.
Chief
miller.
Did
it
amazingly
on
monday
it
was
incredible,
and
I
I
complimented
him
many
times
about
that
these
safety
issues
didn't
just
start
june.
30Th
I've
been
having
these
conversations
with
the
fire
department
before
I
got
elected
2021
2020..
F
So
none
of
this
is
new
and
you
say
that
a
lot
that
you're
thinking
about
we're
thinking
about
doing
we're
planning
on
it
we'll
look
into
that
inaction.
Although
action
is
not
helping
us
in
any
way
again,
it's
just
amazing
to
me
that
we
are
willing
to
throw
money
at
this
to
help
you
to
make
your
job
easier,
to
make
everybody's
job
easier,
safer
and
have
the
citizens
feel
safer
and
and
it
it
just
comes
off
as
sure
I
guess
we'll
look
into
that.
F
F
Noticed
and
your
men
were
here
so
either
way.
I
we
want
to
give
you
money.
We
want
the
right
people
in
place.
What
is
happening
now
doesn't
work,
so
we
can
do
as
many.
We
can
hire
third
parties
as
much
as
we
want,
but
there's
problems
in
place
that
have
been
here
for
a
while
and
we
need
to
start
working
on
those
problems
back
there
versus
just
focusing
on
what
happened
june
30th.
F
A
A
F
A
K
F
F
F
I
think-
and
I
think
it
comes
to
the
fact-
and
you
can
say
whether
or
not
we
we
knew
the
firefighters
were
going
to
be
here
to
speak
or
not.
It
comes
back
to
our.
If
they
do
speak,
will
there
be
retribution?
No,
it
seems
like
there's,
I'm
telling
you
there
is
a
voice
of
that
that
that
is
a
feeling
there
may
not
be,
but
I'm
telling
you
what
I'm
being
told
from
your
department.
So
whether
or
not
that's
factual,
it's
what's
happening.
N
K
F
A
part-time
commissioner,
you
should
be
in
your
fire
stations
every
week.
What
else
can
I
do
for
you
guys?
What
are
we,
where
are
our
deficiencies?
Dishwasher's
broken
microwave's
broken?
What
can
we
get
to
you
right
now?
I
want
to
make
sure
the
people
that
are
taking
care
of
us
are
being
taken
care
of.
N
F
N
N
N
K
N
Hats,
yeah
well,
and-
and
absolutely
you
know
again
we're
going
to
re.
Look
at
all
this.
I
promise
it's
not
it's
not
just
again
being
thrown
around
that.
It's
just
being
kicked
down
the
road.
It's
not
you
know.
These
are
all
things
that
we're
taking
very
seriously
but
understand
most
chiefs.
Wear
multiple
hats!
That's
just
a
norm!
You
know
you
have
different
things
like
that.
That
happen,
different
responsibilities
that
follow
that
are
related.
N
Hence,
is
why
you
know
chief
bowman
is
over
facilities
because
a
lot
of
the
stuff
that
his
other
tasks
are
he's
tasked
with
are
related
to
that
suppression.
That's
why
the
suppression
chief
is
over,
that
type
they
handle
and
orchestrate
all
that
type
of
training.
The
ems
chief
is
over
ems,
which
we're
getting
ready
to
start
four
months
of
ems
training
together
because
it's
our
two
year
cycle,
where
we
have
to
get
renewed.
So
those
positions,
a
lot
of
times
are
related,
but
they
do
wear
multiple
hats.
N
You
ask
tonight
about
the
safety
and
training.
Let's
do
it
absolutely!
You
know
I'm
not
saying
that
half-heartedly.
It's
that
yeah!
Anything
is
going
to
help
in
that
aspect
and
that
will
take
a
lot,
but
I
also
don't
want
to
under
utilize
the
people
who
are
in
position
who
enjoy
training.
That's
another
aspect,
firemen
love
to
train.
N
B
K
N
C
N
Is
there
something
even
there's
a
science,
so
there's
a
sign
training
each
month,
okay,
each
week?
Actually
that
is
standardized
and
that's
actually
a
lot
of
times
is
developed
by
the
lieutenants.
That's
that's
part
of,
and
that's
sent
out
to
everybody
on
target
solutions,
and
they
go
over
certain
things
like
that.
They
also
have
the
freedom
to
do
individualized
training.
So
if
we
have
someone
at
station
2
that
wants
to
train
on
that
day
on
ladders
or
needs
work
on
pumping
the
truck.
Yes,
that
that
specialized
training
can
happen
that
day
with
that
individual.
N
C
C
C
I
think
the
consensus
up
here
is
we're
asking
you:
what
deficiency
do
you
have
right
now
that
we
can
fill
and
again?
This
is
what
I'm
saying
to
help
you
in
your
quest
to
have
a
fully
staffed
fire
department
right
now
right
now,
that's
what
we're
asking
you.
You
know
we're
we're
hearing
different
things
from
different
and-
and
I
will
tell
you
this
probably
from
relatives
of
some
of
the
firefighters
that
have
concerns.
C
C
We
ensure
those
families
that
we're
going
to
take
care
of
their
family
member,
and
so
that's
a
promise
that
I
think
that
is
very
valuable
to
me,
and
so
this
is-
and
I
said
it
at
the
very
first
workshop.
This
is
an
opportunity
to
make
some
changes
not
later,
but
now
so
we're
asking
you
right
now.
This
is
your
stage.
What
can
we
give
you
right
now
that
will
help
you
in
your
department.
K
C
C
C
H
E
E
If
you're
talking
about
one
position
and
one
position,
yes,
we
can
figure
out
a
way
to
add
one
position
into
this
budget.
Okay,
but
you
know
keep
in
mind,
you
know
that's
why
you
have
reserves.
If
you
want
to
have
one
position,
you
have
you
know
position
and
and
but
if
you
expect
any
more
than
that,
then
you
know
you
would
need
more
of
a
military.
B
Well,
we're
not
trying
to
just
throw
money
at
emotion,
but
we
want
to
address
and
make
sure
that
these
things
are
covered
and
that
there's
a
a
consensus
within
the
department
that
there's
an
ease
that
you
know
what
we
are
not
ignoring
these
things
and
we
will
do-
and
I
understand
it's
still
under
investigation.
So
I
understand
there's
some
things
you
can't
say
this
is
exactly
what
we're
going
to
do
yet,
but
just
to
know
that
something
will
be
done.
C
P
P
We're
in
the
process
of
we
hired
a
new
backflow
coordinator
from
the
city
of
altamonte.
Well,
I'm
going
to
butcher
the
name
anyway.
He
just
started
with
us
monday
and
his
took
over.
He
was,
he
was
over.
The
city
of
altamonte
springs
backflow
department,
so
we
have
hired
him
on
starting
monday
and,
as
far
as
I
know,
our
backflow
we're
moving
forward
doing
changeouts
and
how.
P
P
P
M
K
C
P
A
A
C
C
C
C
E
So
I
will
tell
you,
though,
just
like
I
said
earlier.
This
budget
is
balanced
at
the
current
rate
that
we
stay
at.
If
you're
looking
at
one
position,
we
can
figure
out
how
to
get
one
position
in
this
budget.
Okay,
I
do
know,
like
the
chief
talked
about
he's,
going
to
have
an
analysis
done
too
as
well,
which
I
think
he's
having
that
done.
E
B
B
E
This
one
is
everything
yeah
and
keep
in
mind
everybody's,
probably
99.9
everybody's,
paying
more
taxes.
At
this
current
rate,
exactly
everybody
will
feel
some
kind
of
increase.
So
keep
that
in
mind
and
keep
this
in
mind.
This
is
still
a
tax
increase.
People
always
say.
Well,
if
I
stay
the
same,
it's
not
a
tax
increase.
No,
this
is
still
a
tax
increase.
K
B
E
And
let
me
tell
you
this
too:
you
know
if
you're
looking
at
our
assistance,
you
look
at
increases
across
the
board
they're
going
to
pay
more
in
garbage
with
six
percent
utility
rates.
You
saw
those
13
for
wastewater
three
and
a
half
percent
for
water,
so
you're
going
to
get
hit
with
other
increases.
Now
those
are
separate
funds
and
they
have
to
be
funded
as
enterprise
funds,
so
those
fees
have
to
be
set
for
those
costs,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
all
of
our
taxpayers
will
have
those
increases
as
well.
E
A
K
A
In
accordance
with
the
truth
and
millage
trim
requirements,
the
city
must
set
the
proposed
millage
rate
and
advise
the
property
appraiser
of
the
proposed
millage
rate,
rollback
rate
date
time
and
place
of
tentative
budget
hearings.
The
proposed
millage
rate
is
4.1876,
which
represents
a
12.87
percent
increase
over
the
rollback
rate
millage
rate
of
3.7100.
A
E
K
B
K
D
Good
evening,
mayor
and
commissioners,
I'm
sure
y'all
are
all
familiar
with
the
sheila
oak
subdivision.
We
heard
I
heard
about
that
earlier,
but
I
wanted
to
provide
you
tonight
just
a
short
presentation
with
a
brief
history
of
the
subdivision
describe
some
of
the
high
intensity,
short
duration,
rainfall
events
that
have
caused
temporary
roadway
flooding
in
recent
years
and
even
twice
this
summer.
I
want
to
briefly
describe
the
improvements
completed
last
year
and
describe
additional
improvements
that
are
recommended
this
evening.
D
This
existing
this
exhibit
depicts
the
current
limits
of
the
special
flood
hazard
area
in
the
area
of
sheller
oaks.
This
special
flood
hazard
area
is
usually
referred
to
as
flood
zone
a
or
areas
within
the
hundred
year.
Flood
plain
on
this
exhibit.
I
strongly
recommend
that
all
all
residents
whose
homes
are
either
in
the
special
flood
hazard
area
or
even
near
the
flood
hazard
area,
purchase
flood
insurance
through
fema's
national
flood
insurance
program.
D
The
national
flood
insurance
program
is
recommended
because
the
city's
fema
community
rating
system
program,
which
I
run
not
only
provides
residents
within
the
special
flood
hazard
area
of
a
10
percent
reduction
in
their
flood
insurance.
The
city's
participation
in
the
program
also
includes
flood
mitigation
assistance,
grant
availability.
D
The
purple
dots
that
you'll
see
on
the
map,
those
represent
homes
that
were
actually
when
the
homes
were
built.
The
the
builder
raised
those
above
the
100-year
floodplain
by
putting
fill
on
the
lots
that
all
these
purple
dots
the
residents,
have
hired
a
professional
surveyor
and
got
an
elevation
certificate
from
their
home
and
submitted
that
to
fema
to
ask
that
their
home
be
removed
from
the
flood
plain.
D
So
all
these
purple
dots
have
been
formally
removed
from
the
flood
plain
because
their
homes
are
higher
and
those
folks
with
the
purple,
dots
and
the
people
just
outside
of
this
blue
area,
they
are
able
to
receive
preferred
rate
of
flood
insurance,
which
is
much
less
than
flood
insurance.
If
you
are
within
the
flood
plain,
so
I
just
want
to
emphasize
one
more
time
that
again,
I
strongly
recommend
that
all
residents
within
or
near
the
fema
floodplain
purchase
flood
insurance
through
the
national
flood
insurance
program.
A
That
that
note
I
just
want
to
you,
know
re,
let
everybody
know
how
how
well
a
job
that
richard's
doing
and
that
you
know
he
stays
on
top
of
the
fema
maps,
because
by
doing
that,
we
we're
saving
10
on
the
flood
insurance.
If
we
were
lackadaisical
or
haphazardly,
you
know,
following
the
rules,
people
in
apopka
would
be
paying
10
more
for
their
flood
insurance.
So
it's
it's
because
richards
really
keeps
his
eye
on
the
ball
and
makes
make
sure
that's.
That's
that's
critical
in
saving
those
those
dollars
for
our
residents.
D
Thank
you,
mayor
yeah.
I
look
at
a
lot
of
developments
too
and
there's
a
lot
of
creative
ideas
related
to
the
floodplain,
but
I
have
to
make
sure
they
stick
to
the
rules:
okay,
street
flooding,
high
intensity,
short
duration,
temporary
steep
street
flooding,
wasn't
a
major
concern
or
might
not
have
been
a
concern
at
all,
since
the
subdivision
was
built
in
the
1980s,
but
since
about
2017
most
of
those
years,
we've
had
one
or
two
events
where
streets
have
flooded.
D
Like
you
see
in
the
picture
here
temporarily
after
the
the
heavy
rainfall
stops,
the
the
flooding
recedes
definitely
within
an
hour
in
most
cases
within
30
minutes
or
so
so.
The
improvements
that
we've
done
over
the
last
year,
we
installed
a
total
of
14
inlets
at
nine
at
the
intersection
of
mill,
run
circle
and
saddleback
ridge.
D
Road
five
at
the
intersection
of
larkwood
drive
and
crossfield
drive
I'll
note
that
these
inlets
continue
to
function,
and
although
we
have
had
two
street
flooding
events
that
I'll
talk
about
in
a
moment
this
year,
those
inlets
do
continue
to
function
and
they
do
mitigate
the
frequency
and
the
duration
of
the
temporary
street.
Flooding
so
the
two
events
I'll
talk
about,
they
were
mentioned
earlier
to
you
tonight.
One
was
on
may
21st
of
this
year
and
the
other
one
was
on
july
13th.
D
D
Also
we
that
that
evening
I
was
looking
at
the
the
noaa
national
weather
service
because
I
was
getting
emails
about.
You
know
the
street
flooding
in
sheila
oak,
so
I
looked
at
the
national
weather
service
and
and
they
called
out
this,
this
red
square
right
in
the
area
of
sheila
oaks.
There
was
an
isolated
cell
again
super
high
intensity
rainfall
in
the
sheila
oaks
area,
then
on
july
13th,
from
about
8
50
pm
until
about
9
30
p.m.
D
And
with
that
I'll
note
that
the
florida
department
of
transportation
counties,
cities
all
design
roadways
for
a
maximum
of
four
inches
of
rain
per
hour
of
rainfall
intensity,
because
you
you
just
you
can't
physically
drive
your
car.
You
can't
see
how
the
windshield,
when
it's
raining
more
than
four
inches
per
hour
and
both
of
these
storm
events
that
have
happened
this
year
have
both
well
exceeded
that
number.
D
D
The
city
has
a
permit
with
the
st
john's
river
water
management
district.
That
does
not
allow
the
city
to
pump
the
lake
lower
than
elevation
79
feet.
So
last
summer
we
installed
a
rain
gauge
and
we
got
some
gps
survey
points
and
so
the
rain
gauge
in
the
picture.
There
shows
the
lake
it's
been
sitting
fairly
steadily
at
elevation
77
and
until
it
gets
to
elevation
79
the
state
will
not
let
the
city
pump
the
lake
down.
So
we
haven't.
D
So
with
this
with
the
flooding,
that's
happened
recently,
we've
we've
spent
a
lot
of
time,
we've
coordinated
internally
with
staff
and
and
listened
carefully
to
the
residents
and
their
concerns,
and
we
are
currently
developing
construction
plans
and
I'll
recommend
some
drainage
improvements.
In
a
moment.
The
idea
is
those
drainage
improvements
will
direct
the
flow
more
directly
to
lake
hammer.
D
Of
course,
we
are
going
to
need
a
st
john's
river
water
management
district
to
change
the
drainage
system
around
and
the
estimated
cost
for
those
improvements
is
going
to
be
about
250
000,
here's
a
picture
of
those
improvements,
so
the
design.
This
is
a
preliminary
design
that
we
worked
on
last
week
and
that
we're
continuing
to
refine
we're
actually
have
a
meeting
with
the
contractor
tomorrow
to
talk
about
pricing
for
this
alternative.
D
So
this
preliminary
design
on
this
on
the
slide
shows
the
more
direct
route
to
get
the
water
into
the
lake.
It
takes
water
away
from
the
intersection
of
saddleback
ridge,
road
and
mill
run
circle,
and
we
believe
these
improvements
will
include
the
effectiveness
of
the
drainage
systems
at
both
saddleback
ridge.
Road
at
mill
run
circle
and
larkwood
drive
at
crossfield
drive.
Basically,
all
the
water
from
way
up
on
the
hill
right
now
comes
down.
C
No,
I
have
to
say,
because
I
know
I've
spoken
to
you
several
times
and
although
that's
not
my
special
that's
yours,
I'm
I'm
happy
that
we
are
doing
this
for
those
residents.
I
know
it's
not
a
lot
of
residents,
but
you
know
when
you
invest
everything
in
one
home,
it's
their
life
savings
it's
their
livelihood.
So
I
hope
that
this
will
help
to
relieve
that,
like
you
said,
the
the
the
sudden
rainfall
that
comes
in
that
area
is
what
really
is
causing
the
flooding
there.
Yes,.
L
And
I'm
glad
you
explained
it
when
I
received
the
emails,
I
didn't
respond
to
the
emails.
I
actually
went
to
the
site
and
and
sat
there
to
watch
the
rain
gauge
and
to
see
if
it
was
reaching
that
79
foot
gauge.
That's
only
that's
there
and
it
wasn't,
and
I
noticed,
there's
a
pump
there
as
well.
So
now
that
you
explain
the
reason
why
it's
turning
and
going
down
the
street
rather
than
going
directly
into
the
pond.
So
it's
not
that
the
lake
is
overflowing.
K
A
Well,
it's
really
not
that
what's
happened
is
is
by
adding
all
the
extra
inlets
the
pipes
underground
are
filling
up
so
fast
that
then
it's
backing
up,
and
so
what?
If
I
went
there
the
morning
after
and
the
the
the
manhole
cover
which
weighs
I
don't
know,
50
75
pounds
was
popped
popped
up,
which
means
the
water
had
come
out
of
the
push
the
hole
it
was
full
and
was
pushing
the
lid
off.
A
Turns
which
is
where
we
lost
all
of
the
the
momentum
so
by
just
running
the
the
top
side
of
sheila
oaks
straight
into
the
lake,
we
eliminate
a
lot
of
pressure
off
the
mill
run,
which
is
where
the
the
low
area,
so
I
mean
in
in
and
I'll
I'll,
tell
you
I
I
credit
the
staff
all
the
engineers
I
mean
we
were.
We
were
talking
about
it
and
they
were
first
wanting
to
go
ahead
and
get
a.
You
know.
An
80
000
study
have
an
engineer
come
in
and
look
at
it
like
guys.
A
We
know
this
we're
not
sure
it's
100
effective.
We
know
it
will
make
an
impact,
but
but
rather
than
spend
80
000
and
take
four
or
five
more
months
to
get
that
done
and
then
to
say
whether
it
will
work.
Let's
just
go
ahead
and
put
the
money
in.
Let's
do
something
we
know
we'll
have
an
impact,
maybe
not
to
the
to
the
extent
we
think
it
will,
but
we
know
it
will
have
an
impact.
Would
that
be
a
fair
statement?
Richard
yeah.
F
Would
it
be
beneficial?
I
know
there
was
a
discussion
of
doing
to
the
mayor's
point,
an
additional
study,
but
specifically
with
water
flow
projections.
Things
like
that
just
to
I
guess,
help
with
this
or
I
I
just
I'm
worried
that
we're
going
to
be
reactionary.
This
will
100
help
in
some
capacity
for
sure,
but
will
it
be
enough?
I
don't
know
so
I
don't
know
if
that's
going
to
be
beneficial.
What
was
your
guys's
thoughts
on
that.
D
An
engineering
study
is
the
best
approach,
but
practically
and
after
further
investigation
and
seeing
the
manhole
lid
popped
and
talking
with
other
staff
and
residents
in
the
area.
We
believe
that
at
this
time,
spending
180
to
100
000
on
a
detailed
engineering
study
and
then
coming
up
with
a
plan
and
then
ordering
materials
which
raw
materials
and
delivery
and
gas
to
get
things
is
taking
forever
to
get
construction
materials.
I
K
I
Esmeralda
walker,
1952
largo
drive.
I
do
not
live
in
the
flood
zone
area,
so
I
don't
live
around
lake
hammer,
so
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
and
then
I
just
wanted
to.
If
you
could
explain
how
the
water
will
be
redirected,
I
just
and
then,
if
we
have
like,
I
guess,
an
approximate
timeline
of
when.
A
A
Timeline
is
based
on
materials
and
we're.
You
know
we,
the
inlets
we
put
in.
We
were
rob
and
peter
to
pay
paul.
We
got
inlets
that
didn't
even
match,
but
we
made
them
work.
So
I
I
know
that
we're
talking
months
we're
not
talking
days
or
weeks.
I
think,
would
that
be
a
fair
assessment.
Richard
I
mean
we,
we
can
hunt
around
and
try
to
find.
I
think
what
we're
looking
for
36
inch.
D
Yes,
the
construction
company
we're
using
does
a
lot
of
work
and
it's
done
with
a
lot
of
work
with
dio
and
orange
county,
and
we
think
that
they
have
a
probability
of
having
some
of
this
material
on
site.
They,
they
kind
of,
saw
this
coming.
You
know
the
economy
hasn't
been
kind
of
going
downhill
right
away,
it's
taking
a
while
and
it's
a
company
that
does
a
lot
of
business,
so
hopefully
they've
stockpiled
some
of
this
materials.
What
we're
hoping.
D
A
Yeah,
okay,
thank
you
all
right.
Thank
you,
richard
okay.
Anybody
else
want
to
speak
on
this
matter.
Not
we'll
close.

is
perfect
for

because
of
its
location
at

because
it's

most
of

A
A

H
C
C
I
actually
read
the
city
of
lakeland,
which
is
here.
It
is
okay,
phillip
walker
who
is
the
commissioner
of
the
city
of
lakeland,
served
as
president
of
the
florida
league
of
cities
from
2021,
and
so
they
passed
and
adopted.
The
florida

cities
and
conference
assembled
at
the
league's
2022
annual
conference
at
the
diplomat
beach
resort
in
hollywood
this
day.
So
this
is
basically
just
recognizing
philip
walker
and
his
service
for
as
president
for
the
florida
league
of
cities.
C
This
one
is
a
resolution:
okay,
2022-2,
a
resolution
of
the
florida
league
of
cities
recognizing
the
week
of
october
17th
through

2022
as
florida's

and
encouraging
all
florida
city
officials
to
support
this
celebration
by
participating
in
the
my
city.
I'm
part
of
it,
I'm
proud
of
it
activities.
C
A
resolution
of
the
florida

incorporated
urging

the
four

that
are
proposed
and
I
will
be

O
All
right,
michael
rodriguez
city
attorney,
the
item
before
you
is
the
always
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
boundaries
of
the
cdd.
This
item
is
related
to
the
re-zoning
and
amendment
to
the
pd
that
you
just
earlier
approved
at
second
reading.
What
this
is
doing
is
now
amending.
This
is
related
to
the
community
development
district,
which
you
previously
approved
for
the
ridge.
This
is
actually
doing
the
same
housekeeping
changes
they
did
to
their
to
their
pd,
applying
to
the
the
cdd
to
establish
the
jurisdiction
of
the
community
development
district.
O
A
T
S
Good
evening,
wow
almost
missed
my
opportunity.
We've
been
trying
to
put
up
lighting
in
the
medians
right
out
here
on
either
side
of
of
park,
avenue
to
up
show
off
our
beautiful
medjool
palms
and
I've
been
trying
for
over
two
months
to
get
a
permit
from
d.o.t.
And
finally,
they
told
me
you
don't
need
a
permit.
You
need
an
agreement
so
we're
having.
S
This
is
to
ask
you
to
approve
the
agreement
to
maintain
the
up
lighting
and
the
trees
and
everything
that
we've
been
doing
since
2011
anyway,
and
then
the
resolution
to
allow
the
merit
to
sign
so
that
we
can
put
the
up
lighting
and
I've
directed
the
contractor.
If
you
approve
tonight,
I've
asked
them
to
do
the
directional
board
tomorrow.
I
don't
know
if
they're
going
to
be
able
to
or
not,
but
if
not,
tomorrow,
friday
or
monday,
so
moving
forward,
which.
B
S
A
M
A
D
C
It's
always
enlightening
and
I
have
to
say
that
it's
it's
been
a
challenging
for
me,
especially
it's
been
emotional
challenging,
but
I
feel
that
we
have
done
a
good
job
and
I'm
satisfied
and
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
You
know
and
again
you
know
we
were
all
dealing
a
post.
You
know
the
tragedy
that
we
all
are
dealing.
C
We
understand
that
we're
all
feeling
it
differently,
but
we
certainly
I
just
want
to
let
the
fire
department
know
that
they
continue
to
be
in
my
prayers
and,
if
there's
anything
that
they
need
that
they
should
just
feel
that
they
can
still
come
to
us
and-
and
we
hope
that
we
are
doing
the
right
thing
by
them,
and
so
that's
basically
it.
You
know
it's
just
been
a
busy
weekend
and
I
look
forward
to
you
know
as
we
move
forward
and
and
again
to
welcome
you
back
and
you
have
been
missed.
A
B
Benson
yeah,
I
could
obviously
echo
those
things
again,
as
I
mentioned
on
monday,
that
was
the
most
honorable
demonstration
of
brotherhood
and
love
I've
ever
seen,
and
it
was
very
moving,
and
I
know
that
took
a
lot
of
work
to
pull
that
off.
So
thank
you
for
honoring
austin.
In
that
way,
another
thing,
of
course
we
were
today
over
at
wheatley
elementary.
I
was
very
pleased
with
with
that
there
was
a
celebration
of
the
school's
grades
coming
up
and
I'd
served
on
the
sac
board
a
while
back.
B
B
That's
there
there's
a
rich
history,
phyllis
wheatley's,
amazing
woman
herself
and
just
hated
seeing
that
it
was
beginning
to
crumble
in
the
community,
and
there
were
so
many
people
that
worked
so
hard
that
mrs
miller,
the
principal
amazing
woman,
and
so
they
brought
those
things
up,
and
I
remember,
while
I
was
there
one
day,
just
looking
at
wheatley
and
all
of
a
sudden,
you
know
you
see
how
it
spelled
and
it's
w
h
e,
a
t,
l
e
y
and
the
a
t.
I
thought
you
know
that
looks
like
an
a
plus
to
me.
B
You
know
you
can't
spell
wheatley
without
an
a
plus
right
in
the
middle
and
we
just
challenged
ourselves
at
that
time.
Let's
aim
for
the
top
and
that
seemed
so
far
because
it
was
very
near
failing
at
that
point
and
I'm
just
excited
that
the
community
is
coming
together,
great
leadership
and,
of
course
the
baton
then
was
passed
on
right
now.
L
Well,
I
too
would
like
to
express
my
condolences
and
prayers
to
the
family
as
well.
Unfortunately,
I
was
out
of
the
state
at
the
date
of
the
service,
but
my
prayers
was
definitely
with
the
family
and
continues
to
be
with
them
and
within
the
entire
department,
as
you
said
that
you
all
are
a
family
and
I'm
sure
that
all
of
you
are
still
grieving,
and
so
our
prayers
are
with
you
that
you'll
get
through
this.
L
This
storm
in
your
life,
as
our
vice
mayor,
said
that
we
were
at
phillip
sweetly
this
afternoon
with
a
celebration
of
them
becoming
a
b-school,
and
not
that
I'm
that
old.
But
I
also
attended
philippines
a
couple
of
years
ago
yeah.
So
it's
indeed
a
pleasure
for
me
to
be
there
to
to
witness
the
celebration
as
well
and
the
outstanding
job.
L
As
the
vice
men
said,
the
community
and
all
the
elected
officials
as
well
came
together
to
support
the
school
during
their
time
when
they
were
struggling
to
improve
their
grade
in
the
community
and
and
because
of
the
outstanding
job
that
principal
miller
did.
She
was
promoted,
and
now
they
have
a
new
principal
that
had
served
as
the
assistant
principal.
F
Okay,
definitely
yeah
and
basically
the
same
thing.
It's
just.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
residents
of
apopka
for
coming
together
in
our
time
of
need,
while
we've
been
going
through
this,
the
strength
of
a
city
and
a
family
can
be
definitely
seen
in
hardship,
and
it's
really
impressive
to
see
kind
of
how
the
city
came
together
in
this
time
of
need.
So
thank
you
to
the
residents
and
then
obviously
congrats
to
the
teachers
and
staff
and
and
the
principal
at
phil
sweetly
for
achieving
what
they
did.
Yeah.
A
O
O
But
saved
a
few
trees
in
the
in
the
process.
My
report
deals
with
the
2022
florida
legislative
bill
summary.
This
summarizes
those
bills
that
affect
us
as
a
local
government.
The
most
this
is,
I
believe,
the
second
I've
done
here
for
the
city
of
apopka,
but
still
I've
done
these
in
previous
jurisdictions
of
note.
This
is
the
first
time
ever.
O
I've
actually
decided
to
highlight
a
vetoed
bill,
and
that
was
because,
for
reasons
unknown
to
me,
the
governor
vetoed
what
I
called
the
mother
of
all
preemption
bills,
which
was
that
any
ordinance
passed
by
a
local
government
if
it
affected
business
profits
by
certain
percentage,
would
be
subject
to
being
sued.
It
also,
he
also
vetoed.
Actually
I'm
sorry.
O
The
other
bill
that
failed
was
the
requirement
that
every
local
ordinance
passed
by
a
local
government
had
to
include
an
economic
impact
statement
every
ordinance,
thankfully,
both
of
those
failed
one
failed
in
committee,
and
I
think
the
governor
vetoed
the
second
one.
So
we
do
not
have
to
worry
at
least
for
this
session,
that
the
legislature
is
going
to
continue
to
preempt
our
home
rule
authority.
The
other
bills
of
note
important,
at
least
to
note,
was
mentioned
there
is
the
current
pending
homestead
exemption,
which
is
going
to
cover
law
enforcement.
O
I
believe
teachers
veterans
it's
an
additional
50
000
on
the
100
000
of
value
for
one
classification
of
of
citizens
and
150
000
of
value
to
another
one
with
the
recent
history
of
how
these
referendum
go
there.
The
likelihood
is
that
it
will
obtain
the
60
vote
affirmative
vote
to
pass.
So
this
is
something
we'll
have
to
take
into
consideration
for
future
reference.
One
of
the
other
ones
of
note
is
something
that
may
affect,
and
we
might
actually
have
to
probably
bring
this
up
either
as
part
of
our
glitch.
O
Our
usual
glitch
builds
the
land
development
code
or,
as
a
separate
amendment
to
the
land
development
code.
The
legislature
has
determined
that
local
governments
have
to
actually
create
a
zoning
category
as
a
permitted
use
for
floating
solar
cells,
so
I
have
actually,
after
writing
this
summary.
I've
actually
become
cognizant
and
have
seen
several
of
these
floating
cells.
Basically,
they
are
floating
solar,
arrays
that
are
floating
within
a
lake
or
other
body
of
water.
O
I
think
mainly
it's
really
indoor
inland
lakes,
so
now
the
legislature
has
deemed
that
we
have
to
as
a
local
government
permit
these
uses
under
our
land
development
code
and
whatever
appropriate
zoning
category.
So
that's
probably
something
we'll
be
working
with
community
development
to
present
that
amendment
to
the
land
development
code
to
now
allow
for
these
floating
solar,
arrays
they're,
not
very
large,
I
think
some
of
the
ones
I've
seen
just
in
in
traveling.
O
You
know
they're
just
what
you
think
they
are
they're
like
floating
pontoons
with
solar
panels
on
top
of
them,
but
it's
a
way
of
maximizing
the
amount
of
land
you
can
use
to
increase
the
viability
of
solar
energy
in
the
state
of
florida,
a
lot
of
the
other
ones.
The
legislature
wasn't
as
direct
and
impactful
as
they
have
been
in
the
past.
O
O
Lessons
or
or
different
courses
dealing
with
the
effects
of
discrimination
or
work
for
our
you
know:
discrimination
in
the
workplace
that
may
run
afoul
of
the
language
that
was
presented
in
the
bill
which
could
open
the
problem
with
some
of
these
bills.
What's
happening
is
that
the
legislatures
have
empowered
private
citizens
to
bring
up
bring
these
lawsuits,
and
unfortunately
you
can't
stop
somebody
from
suing
for
the
most
frivolous
of
reasons,
and
this
is
something
I
think
that
I
think
it
is
not
related.
O
This
one
is
separate
from
the
school's
bill
which
is
currently
in
is
subject
to
litigation,
but
it's
something
that
our
human
resources
department
has
to
be
cognizant
of
to
not
run
afoul
of
the
language
in
the
bill.
Aside
from
that,
there
was
some
other
there
have
been.
There
are
new
public
records
exemptions.
O
The
gps
locators
in
our
police
vehicles
are
no
longer,
are
now
exempt
from
public
records
inspections
and
then
there's
other
there's
now
a
mandatory
cyber
security
training
that
local
governments
have
to
have
to
conduct
that
was
passed
by
the
legislature,
but
that's
a
gist.
You
have
the
summary
of
all
the
bills
that
were
passed
that
have
a
direct
effect,
and
now
the
process
begins
to
see
the
next
round
of
you
know.
Hopefully
we
won't
have
more
home
rule
taken
away.
If
you
have
any
questions,
any
questions
try
my.
B
Best,
I
just
hope,
they've
done
the
right
studies
on
the
floating
cells
and
how
that
that
shading,
the
water
will
affect
things
temperature,
wise
everything,
I'm
hoping
that
that
study's
been
done,
because
you
know
sometimes
you
think
that's
a
good
idea,
but
that
is
going
to
be
shading
the
water
underneath
it
so
less
light.
I
don't
know
if
it
will
affect
temperature.
How
that
affects.
O
Don't
recall
if
the
legislature
went
into
those
specifics
now
those
are
things
that
we
can
study
in
in
enveloping
what
these
are
permitted
uses.
I
think,
if
anything,
these
may
actually
assist
with
definitely
large
division
subdivisions
that
create
water
retention
areas.
These
are
you
know,
man-made
ponds,
and
now
you've
got
land
which
was
taken
for
a
water
body.
That's
really
for
storm
water
retention,
and
now
it
can
use
be
used
for
dual
purpose
for
both
water
retention,
as
well
as
a
potential
renewable
energy
source
that
doesn't.
L
O
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Okay
got
a
quite
a
few
things
here.
Yes,
as
we
all
you
know,
kind
of
remember,
austin
durant,
I
just
I'm
going
to
try
to
put
together
a
an
editorial
for
the
chief,
not
for
this
friday,
but
next
friday,
try
to
thank
all
the
people,
all
the
organizations
that
you
know
came
out
and
support.
You
know
along
the
way,
not
only
during
this,
the
illness,
but
you
know
ultimate
passing,
but
the
one
I
just
want
to
highlight
tonight.
I
just
it
was
amazing.
A
The
lady
had
rented
the
vfw
for
all
day
saturn.
She
was
a
religious
organization
and
so
from
8
am
until
5
00
p.m.
And-
and
so
I
said,
can
you
shorten
it?
Well,
no.
Really.
I've
got
programming
all
the
way
through
to
five
and
that's
it.
Okay,
I
said
I
said,
listen,
we've
got
you
know,
firefighters
just
passed
away
and
they
want
to
do
the
to
a
memorial
after
after
the
funeral
at
the
vfw.
A
A
They
said
we're
all
in,
let
us
know,
and
so
here's
here's
somebody
who
didn't
know
austin
from
anybody
that
came
in
moved
their
their
event,
which
was
had
been
scheduled.
You
know,
months
out
and
here's
first
baptist
that
doesn't
know
this
group
either
that
stepped
in
and
and
with
open
arms
had
this
this
group
here
at
their
church.
So
you
know
that's
the
there's
a
there's
plenty
of
stories
just
like
that.
A
A
C
C
I
feel
personally
that
we
should
have
all-
and
I
mean
each
of
us
here
in
the
dais-
should
have
provided
someone
that
we
felt
could
have
been
part
of
the
committee.
And,
although
I
respect
every
name,
that's
up
here
because
I
do
know
them,
I
just
feel
that
we
did
not
have
any
part
in
it
and,
again
speaking
for
me,
I
would
like
to
have
recommended
someone
and
that
among
each
of
us
we
could
have
submitted
a
name
and
had
that
considered.
C
A
C
A
Okay,
next
up
events
at
the
empathy
I
just
want
to
kind
of
kind
of
interesting
dirty
heads
this
last
weekend
on
the
16th
we
had
north
of
5
000
people,
I'm
guessing
6
000
people.
So
I
tell
you,
you
know
when
you
go
back
and
you
look
at
saturday
sounds
and
even
though
it
was
a
free
event,
you
know
it
opened
eyes
to
a
bunch
of
people
about
how
great
a
facility
we
had
and
so
we're
starting.
A
You
know,
people
are.
You
know
starting
to
look
at
us
as
a
place
to
book,
and
so
we've
got
the
the
yin
yang
twins
coming
july.
30Th
we've
got
the
heart
and
soul
music
festival
with
the
isley
brothers
on
saturday
october
8th
and
we
got
government
mule
on
saturday
october,
15th
all
big
big
names
that
I
don't
think
we'd
have
had
a
chance
of
getting
them
two
years
ago.
A
So
I'm
I
credit,
the
the
parks
and
rec
department,
for
you
know
the
idea
of
getting
that
amphitheater
used
and
then
getting
that
name
and
the
the
id
out
there.
So
we
are
we're
excited
about
that.
Also
got
the
florida
jerk
festival,
orlando,
featuring
featuring
jamaican
cuisine,
caribbean
music
and
cultural
spirit
on
sunday
october
23rd
next
up
want
to.
We
had
a
an
event
down
in
south
popcorn
13th
street.
A
A
ladies
has
a,
I
guess,
a
double
wide
trailer
that
I
know
commissioner
smith
knew
or
knows
well
and
apopka
came
together.
The
chamber,
along
with
paula,
white's
city
of
destiny
and
city,
serves,
I
mean,
and
I
and
it
was
one
of
those
ultimate
makeovers
and
it
started
on
monday
morning
and
finished
up
friday
afternoon
at
three
o'clock.
So
what
an
amazing
event
I
was
the
the
football
team.
A
The
apopka
high
school
football
team
asked
me
to
come
out
and
cook
for
them,
so
I
cooked
breakfast
and
lunch,
so
they
were
out
doing
the
grunt,
we're
getting
the
rip
out
stuff
and
tear
up
the
carpet
and
do
all
that,
but
what
an
amazing
transformation
in
four
short
days:
oh
yeah,
so
that
was
yeah.
It
was
really
really
a
neat
crime.
A
Was
pretty
pretty
excited
about
it?
Next
thought
is
got
an
opportunity
for
an
additional
library-
I
I
don't
say
an
opportunity.
I
at
least
put
it
on
the
the
orange
county
libraries.
Their
radar
had
a
good
good
discussion
with
them.
We
are
now
with
our
our
ad
valorem,
we're
sending
orange
county
about
1.9
million
dollars
for
library.
You
know-
and
we
just
got
to
one
library
here
on
the
east
side
of
town-
and
so
I
said,
listen
is
there.
A
Is
there
a
way
that
we
can
look
at
somewhere
up
toward
the
north
west
side
of
town
for
something
additional?
And
so
they
said
we're
obviously
everybody's.
You
know.
Funds
are
never
just
plentiful,
but
they
said,
let's
start
out
with
some
programming,
so
I
think
we'll
see
in
the
next
several
months,
we'll
start
to
look
at
some
programming
in
the
southwest
northwest,
which
is
where
our
growth
areas
are
and
then
maybe
transition
with
you
know,
maybe
partner
with
them
for
a
year
or
two
until
they
can
build
a
full-scale
library
here
in
apopka.
A
So
had
a
really
nice
discussion
and
they
they
understood,
you
know
where
we
were
coming
from
next.
I
had
harmon
road.
We
had
another
offer
on
the
harmon
road.
So
we
we
go
back
to
you
know
the
you
know
the
do.
We
want
to
move
the
antenna
or
not
sell
the
property
23
acres,
so
I
I
think
I
think,
with
jim
you
sent
it
to
all
the
commissioners.
So
everybody's
got
that
I
just
kind
of
think
through
that.
E
A
So
anyway,
6.4
right
in
the
middle
so
anyway,
something
to
think
about.
If
we
wanted
to
to
you,
know
at
the
point
where
the
antennas
don't
want
to
move
it
or
not.
That's
that's
for
a
discussion
at
the
next
meeting.
I'd
like
I'd
like
to
kind
of
go
on
an
in-depth
discussion
on
that,
and
where
are
we
talking
about
moving
the
two
we've
got
the
eight
acres
on
the
on
the
opposite
side,.
A
It's
utilities,
so
it's
it's
owned
by
the
utilities.
Okay,
so
it
would
stay
within
the
utility
department,
so
it
could
go
toward
an
additional
water
plant
which
that
we're
going
to
be
putting
one
in
that
in
that
area
anyway.
So
you
could
take
the
eight
or
nine
acres
put
the
antenna
in
a
water
plant
and
water
plant.
I
think's
20
to
25
million,
so
I
mean.
H
A
G
Robert
hitler
information
technology
director,
I
had
all
this
information,
I
want
to
say
at
the
end
of
last
year,
when
we
were
talking
different
tower
discussions
back
then.
At
that
time,
the
tower
to
move.
It
was
going
to
be
about
2.75
million
and
that's
a
new
building
new
generator
using
the
existing
radios
and
everything
we
have,
but
that's
what
the
cost
of
the
move
would
be
and
that's
through
using
our
existing
contractor
motorola.
Now
there
are
options
out
there,
such
as
having
a
independent
tower
builder
come
in
build
the
tower.
G
The
cost
could
be
potentially
a
little
bit
lower
and
I
do
have
a
car
well.
I
had
a
cost
number
on
that
close
to
a
year
ago,
but
I
can
assure
you
it's
15
to
20
percent
higher
at
this
point.
So
that's
another
option.
They
can
do
that
and
then
again
have
motorola
put
their
hardware
back
into
it
or
you
know
if
we're
buying
the
building
to
depending
which
right
we're
going
with
it,
there's
still
going
to
be
a
cost
for
motorola.
G
Another
option
is
to
have
a
carrier
come
in
such
as
att,
who
wants
to
get
into
the
area
for
their
first
net
and
have
them
build
the
tower,
and
then
we
give
up
the
leases
for
that.
So
we
have
currently
two
cellular
leases
on
the
tower,
and
you
know
if
we
want
to
give
those
up,
then
they
would
do
the
tower
now.
G
G
G
So
it's
more
expensive
if
we
own
it,
but
at
least
we
control
what
we
do
with
it,
and
you
know
the
thought
of
initially
moving
the
tower
back
in
the
day,
because
at
nc
wanting
to
get
up
into
the
area,
I
would
hate
to
see
another
tower
go
in
in
that
particular
area,
because
nobody
wants
another
tower
in
their
backyard.
So
if
we
had
a
tower
that
was
actually
built
for
the
additional
load,
we
could
stay
with
one
tower
and
still
get
additional
for
our
revenue
from
at
least
based
on
that.
C
So
at
this
point
I'm
not
going
to
speak
other
than
to
say
I
don't
know
if
it's
cost
effective
at
this
point
but-
and
I
certainly
don't
want
to
give
another
carrier
control
of
our
tower
because
with
safety
again,
you've
got
911.
The
dispatchers
you've
got
the
fire.
You've
got
the
police
and
for
us
to
lease
it
from
another
carrier,
and
they
have
control
of
it
is
not
conducive
for
serving
our
community.
K
C
C
C
F
A
A
It
was
said
that
squad
one
was
only
available
39
of
the
time
based
on
188
fires
and
according
our
records
it
was
there
were
192
calls
for
service,
and
they
said
that
only
75
calls
which
equals
39
percent,
so
I've
got
a.
I
can
give
you
out
the
perfect
here
if
you'd
like
there's
got
some
statistics
for
you
to
show
you
that,
anyway,
the
according
to
all
of
our
statistics,
it
comes
out
that
we
have
75
percent
of
the
time
it
was
covered
squad
one
now.
A
A
The
red
means
that
it
was
not
needed
in
the
yellow,
because
you
know
squad
one
was
was
in
that
accident
on
march
1st,
then
the
the
yellow
means
that
we
had.
We
sent
a
different
vehicle,
but
with
the
same
two
people
on
the
truck.
So
I
just
wanted
to
show
you
that
you
know
that
the
numbers
that
you
were
given
were
not
so.
A
A
The
39
and
then
the
the
other
thing
that
was
brought
up
that
also
factually
incorrect.
Somebody
said
they
were,
they
were
crest,
they
they
requested
an
emergency
safety
meeting
and
I
had
rob
hitler
go
back
and
take
a
look
and
there
were
no
such
emails.
So
those
two
things
pretty
important.
You
know
if
you're
going
to
make
those
allegations,
you
sure
ought
to
have
those.
You
know
some
information
to
back
that
up.
So
I
just
thought
you'd
want
to
see
this
is
the
information
backing
up
those
those
numbers?
A
Okay
and
then
last
I
wanted
to
say
I
had
a
great
meeting
with
congresswoman
demings
and
a
whole
team,
along
with
homeland
security
secretary
mayorkas,
and
we
talked
about
a
lot
of
things,
one
of
them
fema
reimbursements.
You
know
a
lot
of
times
when
you,
when
you
have
a
hurricane
or
whatnot
you
it's
years.
A
I
I
wanted
to
thank,
I
thank
them
for
the
400
000
that
we
got.
That
was
that
we're.
You
know
we're
now
going
to
implement
that
in
the
new
communications
system,
which
will
now
make
us
integrated
with
within
central
florida.
So
I
wanted
to
thank
them
for
that,
but
also
told
them.
One
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about
was
fema,
and
I
said
you
know
florida
is
a
donor
state.
