And

in
life,

she
had
little

own
troubling
work
to
house
and
feed
the
poor
and
became
an
important
figure
in
the
fight
for
women's
suffrage.
Fact
of
the
day.
A
I
had
a
chance
to
look
those
if
so,
look
for
a
motion
to
approve
the
january
5th
and
the
january
19th
minutes
so.
C

J
A
Okay,
I'd
like
to
bring
up
is
it's
not
on
the
schedule,
but
I
wanted
to
to
honor
somebody
that
served
our
city
well,
chief
joe
brown,
who
passed
away
last
week.
His
service
will
be
this
weekend,
so
I
do
want
to
read
a
proclamation.
I
know
his
daughter
is
here:
yes,
ma'am!
Okay,
thank
you!
A
He
served
in
the
united
states
army
for
six
years
stationed
at
both
fort
bragg,
north
carolina
and
ismar
turkey,
whereas
after
leaving
the
military
in
january
of
1981
joe
enrolled
at
seminole
community
college
in
sanford
florida
and
would
later
enroll
in
the
police
academy
at
seminole
community
college
and
whereas
in
february
of
1982,
upon
completion
officer,
brown
state
started
working
for
the
city
of
apopka
on
june
8
1995.
After
working
his
way
up
through
the
ranks
officer,
brown
became
the
police
chief
of
apopka.
A
He
was
also
instrumental
in
outfitting
police
cars
with
computers,
with
many
other
departments
in
the
1990s
chief
brown
helped
establish
the
police,
gun
range
and
other
tactical
units
within
the
department.
In
addition,
chief
brown
received
numerous
awards
and
certificates
of
appreciation
for
many
community
leaders.
A
Four
children,
damian
brown,
edward
brown,
jasmine
stringer,
bratton,
joseph
brown,
junior
iv,
three
grandchildren,
his
aunt
leota
durant,
his
sister
lisa
johnson,
as
well
as
many
cousins,
relatives
and
friends,
and
whereas
chief
brown
had
many
interests
and
was
very
knowledgeable
in
many
subjects.
He
was
a
man
who
was
dedicated
to
policing
and
serving
his
community.
A
What
you
may
not
know
is
that
joe
was
a
business
owner.
He
loved
to
sail
and
fish.
He
was
a
firearm
instructor
for
the
nra,
as
well
as
a
kayak
instructor
at
lake
brantley.
He
loved
to
play
bass
guitar
and
was
an
officiato
of
the
ham.
Radio
joe
was
a
member
of
the
central
florida
astronomers
association,
the
masonic
lodge
the
naacp
and
the
urban
league,
but
above
all
he
was
a
loving
father
who
will
be
missed
by
so
many
people.
A
A
A
Okay,
next
up,
we
have
a
presentation
on
the
apopka
emergency
service
facility,
chief
wyoming
allison,.
K
K
L
Good
afternoon,
mr
mayor
commissioners,
basically
just
want
to
review.
You
know
we're
very
excited
about
this.
Obviously,
moving
forward
we're
going
to
be
able
to
get
air
care
facility
up
and
running,
we
do
have
a
representative
from
air
methods
and
also
the
engineering
group
here.
If
you
have
any
questions-
and
you
know
if
you
have
any
questions
for
me,
I'll-
be
happy
to
answer
this
time.
M
A
N
Okay,
mayor
commissioners,
good
afternoon,
just
wanted
with
the
growth
in
the
city.
It's
time
to
do
some
tweaking
and
balancing
of
our
yard-waste
droughts
like
we
did,
I
think,
a
couple
years
back.
We
did
the
same
thing
moved
some
homes
onto
the
wednesday
route
which,
for
the
longest
we've
had
yard
waste
on
monday,
tuesday,
thursday
and
friday,
with
the
truck
sitting
on
wednesday.
So
as
the
city
grows,
rather
than
buy
additional
equipment
and
labor
to
increase
those
days.
We
just
we're
shifting
some
onto
on
wednesday
and
so
the
same
thing
here.
N
We're
planning
to
move
arbor
ridge
from
monday
to
wednesday
rock
springs
ridge,
san
sebastian
and
bridal
wood
from
tuesday
to
wednesday,
basically
because
they're
just
there,
even
though
we
don't
really
need
to
move
those
and
then
from
thursday
to
wednesday,
spring
hardware,
pines
of
acaba,
wingfoot
and
wekiva
crest,
and
then
of
course,
any
homes
there's
a
few
scattered
homes
on
leicester
that
would
go
along
with
that.
N
We
plan
to
run
ads
in
the
apopka
chief
in
the
sentinel
on
the
13th.
I
think
the
chief,
maybe
this
week
or
by
the
11th
anyway,
that's
per
code
and
then
we'll
distribute
door
tags
the
week,
ending
the
18th
and
then
the
following
week:
the
weekending,
the
fourth
of
march,
we'll
start
with
the
new
pickup
day
and
yeah.
We
did
this.
The.
M
F
C
A
A
Well,
it
I,
I
feel
a
little
neglected
or
I
feel,
like
I'm
sure
a
lot
of
employees
feel
neglected.
I
we
have
not
done
service
awards
for
a
long
time.
One
thing
is,
I
came
in
and
we
started
doing
it
obviously
covet
had
a
big
impact
on
bringing
you
know
our
employees
together,
but
it's
been
too
long
not
to
at
least
recognize
the
the
employees
as
they
they
meet
those
milestones.
A
So
I
wanted
to
go
ahead
and
go
through
our
list
of
of
employees
and
what
we're
going
to
do
this,
this
commission
meeting
we're
going
to
do
the
10,
15,
20
and
25
year,
employees,
and
then
the
next
commission
meeting
will
do
all
the
five
five-year
employees,
so
I
at
least
want
to
recognize
you
know
their
their
their
contribution
to
our
city.
A
You
know
without
great
employees
that
that
hang
around
here
for
a
long
time,
we
couldn't
get
the
work
done
that
that
that
we
get
done
so
you
know
thank
you
in
advance
for
all
that
you've
done
and
we'll
continue
to
do
to
to
make
our
city
the
best
it
can
be.

A
A
A
P
I
was
the
men's.
Basketball
coach
at
liberty,
from
89
to
2008.,
became
very
concerned
about
individuals
being
trapped
in
hurdles
and
barriers
that
are
not
getting
to
the
workplace
and
just
lynchburg
at
the
time
had
the
highest
poverty
rate
in
state
of
virginia
made
no
sense
to
me.
So
I
started
to
invest
myself
into
trying
to
figure
out.
You
know
how
we
solve
that
problem.
How
do
we
improve
the
problem
we
know
in
our
lifetime?
P
25
trillion
has
been
spent
on
poverty,
but
80
of
it
goes
to
those
serving
poverty
and
not
those
in
poverty.
So
how
do
we
change
the
game?
And
so
I
I
started
going
to
some
of
the
meetings.
I'm
sure
you
guys
have
them
here
too,
and
I
was
like
well,
that's
not
really
solutional,
let's
get
to
the
solution,
so
so
it
came
to
the
lights
came
on
that
the
way
you're
gonna
change.
Poverty
is
gonna
change,
income
levels,
and
so
we
just
start
right
there.
We
don't
get
distracted
outside
of
it.
P
You
know
so,
then
we
said:
let's
build
a
program
because
we
all
know
in
our
lifetime.
I
was
really
enhanced
through
my
involvement
in
programs,
so
this
takes
a
programmatic
approach.
So
then
we
developed
legacy
under
three
prongs.
We
were
going
to
deliver
accredited
education
and
we're
a
post-secondary
play
so
for
everybody,
that's
out
of
high
school,
we're
a
post-secondary
play
and
there's
no
age
limit
if
the
student's
aspirational
we're
in
okay,
we're
in
with
them-
and
we've
got
some
secrets
to
this.
P
So
we
we
deliver
the
ea
degree
and
so
you're
coming
to
legacy
from
8
30
to
noon
monday
through
thursday.
To
attain
your
a
degree,
we
make
a
serious
play
on
life
skills,
education,
so
from
8
30
tonight.
It's
not
we're.
Not
just
checking
the
box,
so
somebody
funds
us
hey,
we're
doing
life
skills,
no
we're
really
doing
life
skills,
and
so
we
teach
core
values.
We
teach
jim
rohn
and
we
start
out
by-
and
this
is
one
of
the
problems
with
underserved
individuals-
they
don't
even
understand
they
have
value.
P
So
you
start
out:
how
can
they
add
value
in
the
workplace
if
they
don't
understand,
they
have
value.
So
we
we
really
promote
the
whole
idea
of
hey.
You
are
a
creation.
You're,
not
a
commodity.
Education
has
become
too
much
about
a
commodity-based
center
instead
of
a
development
center
of
discipline
and
it
can
be
nurturing.
I
mean
we're
very
nurturing
we're
very
empowering.
So
our
our
goal.
If
mayor,
if
you
were
to
come
to
legacy
our
relationship,
would
start
with
hey,
I'm
all
about
your
economic
empowerment.
That's
the
only
thing
that
we
care
about.
P
We
want
to
see
you
get
economically
empowered
and
here's
the
steps
that
it's
going
to
take
to
do
it
and
it
takes
accredited.
Academics
takes
life,
skills,
education
and
career
plan.
The
next
thing
we
do
once
we
tell
the
student
who
said:
hey
you're,
going
to
get
paid
for
the
value
add
in
the
marketplace.
P
This
is
a
truth
statement,
you're
paid
for
the
value
item,
regardless
of
your
skin
color,
regardless
of
where
you're
from
regardless
of
your
background
you're
going
to
get
paid
for
the
value,
add
to
marketplace.
So
they
start
looking
at
you
like.
Okay,
they
start
to
connect
the
dots
and
then
again
we
we
asked
a
very
important
question:
that's
not
getting
asked
enough
in
education
right
now.
P
You
know
we're
going
to
say
hey,
commissioner
smith,
what
are
you
passionate
about
and
his
passions
are
going
to
start
coming
out
and
he
starts
telling
me
what
he
really
wants
to
do
with
his
life.
Now,
as
we
connect
that
to
employment,
you
know-
and
we
start
to
get
him
to
understand,
really-
that
hey
a
25-year
career
can
put
you
in
a
really
good
spot.
P
We
have
students
in
lynchburg
right
now,
working
on
a
two-year
degree,
making
60
000
a
year.
You
know
you
know,
there's
jobs
out
here
right
now:
15
18
20
an
hour
that
a
student
can
do
now.
One
of
the
things
that
makes
legacy
really
successful
is
8
30
to
noon
monday
through
thursday.
So
they
have
time
to
work
during
the
week.
P
They
looked
apart.
They
wrote
a
yellow
school
bus
from
the
time
they
were
three
until
they
were
12
years
old.
They
stayed
inside
that
process
and
then,
when
they
got
to
the
end,
they
weren't
prepared
to
go,
handle
a
job
in
the
workforce
pressures
so
again
we're
coaching
them
up
to
get
them
through
the
workforce
pressure.
We
call
it
employment
maturity.
P
So
we
have
a
lot
of
employment
immaturity
in
our
communities.
Okay,
so
when
you
become
employment
mature,
then
you
start
to
understand
how
you
can
then
you
know
navigate
through
life.
So
I
won't
bore
you
with
the
reading
this
thing
to
you,
but
what
we
just
want
to
do
today
and
we're
really
encouraged
by
commissioner
smith
too
and
he's
been
tremendous.
P
We
have
a
great
committee,
you
have
unbelievable
people
in
this
community,
so
why
are
we
here
we're
going
to
build
out
florida
with
these
centers?
But
we
started
here
because
of
james
mcknight,
okay,
and
he
led
us
to
a
lot
of
people
that
are
very
outstanding
and
he
has
a
heart
for
the
community
and
then
obviously
we
tag
up
with
commissioner
smith
and
you
get
a
great
heart.
P
So
as
the
plan
is
to
start
in
june
with
a
hundred
students,
if
we,
if
we
get
a
hundred
to
two
hundred
students
through
legacy
over
the
next
couple
years,
you'll
see
a
transformation
in
your
workforce
and
it's
happening
in
lynchburg
right
now
and
what's
happening
then,
is
you
can
connect
that
with
your
economic
development,
people
to
say,
hey,
we
have
a.
We
have
a
real
workforce
play
in
place
that
can
work
with
industries
that
want
to
come
into
apopka
and
you
can
expand
everything.
P
M
Yeah
now
this
is
the
collegiate
level,
so
you're,
starting
with
the
college
level
or
the
school.
P
Well,
we're
post
secondary
okay,
so
we're
paul.
Now
here's
what's
happening,
lynchburg
is
because
we
do
such
a
great
job
and
one
of
the
things
we
do
is
unbelievable
jobs
with
the
wraparound
services.
So
we
remove
all
the
hurdles
and
barriers.
These
individuals
are
talented,
they're,
just
like
you
and
I
they
were.
They
were
gifted,
but
they
were
born
into
some
hurdles
and
barriers.
We
remove
all
the
hurdles
and
barriers
transportation.
P
We
remove
it
child
care,
we
remove
it
mental
health
issues
and
a
lot
of
times
we're
throwing
mental
health
around
right
now
in
our
communities,
because
hey
hey,
if
I'm
using
drugs
and
I
had
a
child
and
I
lost
it
to
services-
and
I
don't
have
a
job
right
now-
I'm
going
to
have
some
mental
health
issues
when
we
get
that
straight
and
we
get
them
into
the
purpose
of
a
job
in
life,
all
of
a
sudden
things
get
a
little
cleaner
for
them.
They
start
moving
forward.
P
The
ged
is
a
big
problem
right
now:
okay,
with
kovid
they're,
saying
20
of
high
school
seniors,
may
drop
out
right.
I
mean
it's
alarming.
Okay,
so
and
here's
the
thing
for
you
guys
to
understand
we're
going
to
ask
for
some
investment
down
the
road
once
we
show
you
that
we're
adding
value
and
by
the
way,
I'm
going
to
bring
a
third
of
the
budget
to
apopka.
Okay,
I'm
not
asking
you
to
fund
the
whole
thing.
P
We
work
with
bluefield
university
work
at
liberty
university,
and
we
work
with
your
community
college
system
to
pipe
the
classes
into
the
building,
and
so
you
know
the
ged,
though
here's
a
northeastern
study
for
every
ged
that
is
not
attained
in
a
pop
gate,
cost
you
330
000
in
services
over
the
lifetime
of
that
individual.
P
M
Very
excited
about
that.
I
know:
we've
been
working
on
the
high
school
junior
high
high
school
level
to
try
and
bring
that
pipeline,
and
we've
got
about
250
students
now,
two-thirds
of
which
are
minority
kids
and
exactly
what
you
said.
That's
what
changes
and
breaks
the
cycle
is,
we
can
get
them
meaningful
employment
to
give
them
a
career,
give
them
a
pass
something
they're
passionate
about,
so
I'm
very
excited
to
find
out
more
of
what
you're
doing
and
hopefully,
work
together.
Well,.
P
We're
we're
here
we're
committed.
That's
why
we're
here.
So
we
just
look
forward
to
work
and
the
other
thing
is
we
always
work
through
the
authorities
that
are
established,
so
I
mean
we're
going
to
get
green
lights
from
you
guys
before
we
do
stuff,
but
at
the
same
point
in
time
you
know
we're
here
to
make
the
commitment,
because
every
day
we're
not
doing
this
somebody's
struggling
in
poverty
or
in
these
hurdles
and
barriers
that
we
can
remove
all
right,
that's
exciting
blessings.
Thank.
A
Q
Q
I
want
station
street
too,
and
I
think
some
people
misunderstood
me
last
week.
I
wanted
the
downtown
city
project
when
it
started
out
here
where
they
built
the
hotel
in
that
manner.
What
I'm
tired
of
is
the
non-transparent
method
that
the
city
has
been
using,
not
just
this
administration,
not
just
the
previous
administration,
but
going
back
for
years.
For
those
who
don't
know
me,
I'm
from
apopka
my
dad
was
from
apopka.
My
grandparents
are
from
apopka
we're
part
of
the
indoor
foliage
capital
of
the
world
that
no
longer
exist
here.
Okay,
I'm
tired
of.
Q
If
you
don't
bank,
with
the
right
people
or
greece,
the
right
people,
you
can't
get
permits
to
do
things.
If
the
right
people
don't
own
property,
you
can't
get
it
sold
because
the
permits
get
held
up
or
the
process
gets
held
up.
I'm
tired
of
the
non-transparency
and
take,
for
instance,
the
rfp
thing
that
I
spoke
about
last
week
if
it
can't
be
transparent,
absolutely
100
percent
transparent.
Q
If
it's
not
open
to
everybody
minority
contractors,
all
the
contractors,
if
it's
not
written
in
such
a
way
that
it
doesn't
specifically
rule
out
or
rule
in
people,
so
we're
catering
to
a
specific
bid.
Okay,
then
it
needs
to
change.
There
needs
to
be
transparency
in
this
city.
I
watched
the
city
waste
money
on
the
property
out
here.
What
a
lot
of
you
don't
know
is
martin's
pond
and
then
sell
it
at
a
dramatic
loss.
Q
Q
All
of
these
things
need
to
be
addressed,
and
it's
not
just
you,
commissioners,
it's
previous
commissioners,
it's
administrators,
it's
department,
heads
somebody's
got
their
fingers
in
the
pot,
and
people
aren't
coming
to
this
city
aren't
getting
a
fair
shake
unless
they
bank,
with
the
right
people
or
they've,
paid
the
commissions
to
the
right
real
estate
agent
or
the
right.
People
have
purchased
the
land,
so
it
can
be
sold
outright.
Q
R
Rod,
olson
3156,
rolling
hills,
lane
real
brief
mayor
commissioners
with
all
the
important
matters
here
today.
This
may
be
not
big,
but
it
does
spell
the
importance
of
people
being
able
to
join
themselves
enjoy
music
at
saturday
night
sounds.
I
couldn't
drag
my
wife
out.
Saturday
was
temperature
in
the
30s.
I
went
with
the
intent.
Gotta
show
support
I'll
stick
around
a
little
bit
and
bail,
and
I
didn't
I
did
pace
the
last
30
minutes,
but
buddy
blues
was
awesome.
It's
a
shame
that
you
know
the
weather
wasn't
there.
R
S
S
A
S
S
If
you're
looking
for
big
companies
to
come
to
this
area,
especially
restaurants
and
things
we
have
to
cut
out,
racism
is
blatant,
sometimes
in
certain
areas
or
the
things
that
you
all
are
doing,
and
it
looks
like
it's
racist,
maybe
you
don't
think
it
is,
but
it
is
so.
I
would
like
for
you
to
look
at
those
things,
because
when.
C
S
Lady
was
here
talking
from
the
chamber.
She
was
telling
about
a
lot
of
restaurants
want
to
come
to
the
area.
Some
companies
won't
come
if
we
got
a
big
conflict
and
playing
racism,
doing
one
more
on
one
side
of
town
and
the
other.
So
some
of
those
things
I
think
you
should
look
at.
S
I
was
looking
at
some
information
of
the
day
too,
about
police
training.
Some
to
me
that
I've
seen
like
keeping
people
in
their
places
all
right.
You
get
harassed
sometime
by
officers,
not
all
of
them,
and
I
think
all
officers
are
good,
but
some
things
they
do
just
to
try
to
make.
You
know
this
is
some
things
that
you
can't
do
so
I
want
to
suggest
that
you
all
look
at
something
in
the
future,
about
police
training,
especially
communications
and
especially
doing
culture
changing
it.
S
S
S
We
need
to
do
some
training
where
we
can
have
more
officers
in
the
neighborhood
right.
I'm
not
saying
walking
around
just
be
seen
in
the
neighborhood
and
don't
harass
a
lot
of
people.
That
seems
to
be
done
a
lot
in
the
neighborhood
and
my
thing
is
just
keeping
them
in
their
place.
Let
them
know
they
can't
do
this
can't
do
that,
but
you
don't
need
to
do
that.
This
is
this
is
a
one-shot
deal.
Everybody
lived
once,
but
they
died
forever.
S
So
we
have
to
learn
to
work
this
out
together.
I
think
that's
what
we
should
look
at
doing
and
again
like
I.
I
just
like
to
comment
comment
you
on
the
voting
for
early
voting.
I
think
that's
one
of
the
noble
things
you've
done
in
a
while
that
I've
seen
and
the
training
on
another
thing
look
at
apprenticeships,
because
when
the
young,
the
fuller,
got
up
and
talked
about
training,
you
can
do
some
apprenticeships.
S
All
right.
I
worked
for
orange
county
for
25
years.
I
did
skills
training
all
right,
but
most
of
my
program
was
out
of
33rd
street
everybody
came
out
of
33rd
street.
That
was
in
one
hour,
training
programs.
They
had
to
come
see,
mr
rucker
all
right.
I
did
some
things
that
broke
barriers.
I
gave
a
little
packets
away,
we
paid
for
housing,
we
also
paid
for
tickets
transportation
because
we
had
some
people
at
the
transfer
plant
out
on
the
other
side
of
town
and
they
had
to
walk
a
mile
from
the
bus
stop.
S
S
The
foliage,
I
know,
is
gone
now,
but
there's
still
some
other
things
that
you
can
do
in
the
area
to
train,
and
then
some
of
the
bigger
companies
will
look
at
coming
here
right
now,
they're
not
going
to
come
because
of
racism
right
and
if
you
don't
think
it's
racism,
that's
what's
really
happening.
So
some
of
those
things
you
need
to
stop.
S
M
I'd
like
to
I'd
like
to
get
your
direct
contact
information.
As
you
know,
a
long
time
ago
we
sat
down.
I
said
I'd
like
to
sit
down
and
talk
with
you
to
find
out
what
those
are.
You
know
we
hear
a
lot
of
attacks
and
accusations
and
issues,
but
I
need
examples,
illustrations
and
opportunities
to
do
something
about
that.
So,
like
last
week
that
that
was
helpful,
you'll
be
able
to
do
that.
I.
S
I
Yes,
one
of
the
things
I
do
see
like
in
a
call
week,
especially
where
they
have
community
advisory
boards
and
and
that's
a
good
way
for
us
to
start
to
really
kind
of
address
some
of
the
social
issues
that
we
talk
about
and
then
we
say:
okay,
let's
try
and
figure
it
out,
but
I
I
would
recommend
that
we
would
start
as
a
commission,
in
other
words,
to
to
really
start
community
advisory
boards
so
that
we
can
at
least
sit
down
and
talk
about
some
of
the
social
issues
that
are
important
to.
S
I
Community
and
also
a
way
of
sharing,
because
we
don't
always
know
everything-
that's
going
on
in
the
community
until
we
become
reactive
to
an
incident.
So
absolutely
thank.
S
T
T
We
chose
maybe
wrong,
but
we
chose
this
and
I
like
it.
It's
the
it's
on
the
outside
perimeter,
road
which
is
almost
dirt
or
little
potholes
or
whatever,
and
when
I
go
in
there,
I'm
concerned
about
falling
into
those
potholes
with
my
car
and
I'd,
and
it's
it's
a
little
embarrassing
to
take
people
in
who
are
from
out
of
state,
and
here
we've
got
nice
entrance.
T
T
A
Thank
you,
ma'am.
I
know
that
we
one
of
the
things
we're
waiting
on
we've
got
money
in
the
budget
to
do
some
of
those
repairs
but
and
we're
waiting
on
a
machine.
This
guy's
been
backlogged
forever.
We've
got
a
a
new
asphalt
machine.
Coming
that
the
problem
is,
we've
had
to
do
these,
these
small
repairs
with
a
a
cold
patch
and
coal
patches,
don't
last
and
we've
got
a
new
one.
A
That's
going
to
have
a
heater
so
that
kind
of
melts
the
asphalt
in
together,
making
it
a
much
more
or
much
longer
lasting
product.
So
it's
supposed
to
been
in
this
week.
I
you
know
and
so
we're
we
got.
We
got
a
backlog
of
of
things
we
need
to
fix,
and
so
we're
we're,
but
we
don't
want
to
do
it
with
the
coal
patch
if
we've
got
this
this
new
machine
coming
so,
but
we
appreciate
your
your
comments.
Yes,.
T
A
A
I
D
No,
they
were
not
part
of
it,
commissioner,
but
what
we
have
done
is,
if
you,
if
you
recall,
we're
expanding
some
of
our
cemetery
and
doing
some
planning
to
add
some
additional
spaces.
D
That's
a
project
that
susan
and
her
office
is
working
on
and
they're
trying
to
wrap
that
up
now
and
part
of
that
plan,
and
some
of
the
funding
we
put
into
the
budget
is
to
actually
fix
these
roads.
So
we,
but
we
want
to
get
this
new
flat
out,
because
we're
going
to
put
a
road
in
that
new
section
and
at
the
same
time
we
want
to
fix
those
those
areas
that
that
she
was
talking
about
as
well,
so
actually
looking
at.
D
If
you
know
on
the
back
side
of
the
cemetery,
we
have
some
spots
that
are
not
even
paved
they're
dirt
roads
we're
looking
at
getting
those
paved
when
we
do
this
portion
as
well.
So
we
have
some
funding
in
the
budget,
we're
waiting
for
them
to
give
us
the
the
plat
so
that
we
have
all
the
new
spaces
that
will
be
available
and
then
we're
going
to
roll
all
of
the
roads
in
it
together.
D
M
D
What
we
need
to
do
is
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
have
the
cemetery
staff
look
at
if
there's
some
that
are
really
really
bad.
You
know
we
can
at
least
go
ahead
and
get
those
filled
in
in
the
meantime,
so
that
they're
not
we
have
any
deep
holes.
T
U
Leroy
bell

blue
meadows,
court
apopka
florida
and
I'm
the
chairman
of
the
double
a
triple
c.
Commissioner.
Benjamin
you
just
asked
for
david
rucker
to
give
you
some
examples
and
we
had
the
double
a
triple
c.
Thank
what
mr
newton
was
talking
about.
Transparency
transparency
seemed
to
elude
this
mayor
and
his
administration
we're
gonna.
U
We
can
start
with
the
chief
nephew
where
he
was
beaten
and
broken
his
jaw
and
fractured
where
the
police
department
went
into
alison
siem's
house
and
beat
her
lawsuit
found
tommy
lee
jackson,
they
went
into
his
house,
beat
him
lawsuit,
foul
jalen,
jalen
call
captain
carl's
daughter,
where
officer
robert
campbell
abused
her
at
a
football
game,
a
witness
sent
a
letter
directly
emailed
to
mel
nelson
and
he
hid
it,
and
also
mr
jason
friendly
the
police
whooped
him.
U
He
is
a
disabled,
veteran
and
also
ex-police
officer.
Now
we
all
think
this
is
a
part
of
racism
and
it
all
comes
down
to
if
you,
if
you
was
fortunate
enough
to
attend
the
mayor's
debate,
the
other
night
male
nelson
sat
there
and
with
a
heavy
heart.
I
come
on
behalf
of
some
of
the
people
on
south
apopka
side.
U
You
trashed
those
peoples,
you
talked
about
them
like
a
dog,
they
wasn't
worth
it,
but
when
it
came
to
the
annexation,
apopka
still
function
and
pay
its
bills
out
of
some
of
the
tax
base
that
come
from
over
there
out
of
the
water,
that's
right
when
they
get
their
bill
over
there
don't
say
orange
county.
It
said
the
city
of
apopka,
when
you
get
your
your
you
get
revenue
from
the
bank,
not
the
bank
but
the
or
the
dump
for
monitoring
the
dump
out
there.
U
U
I
know
for
a
fact
that
at
your
church,
my
son
and
I
for
the
past
two
years-
have
been
there
with
kelly
volunteered
bringing
food,
but
it
seems
to
be
when
the
election
came
up.
You
found
a
way
to
give
away
coats
to
get
you
a
photo
out.
U
C
U
And
let-
and
let
me
let
me
add,
to
this-
the
pastor
over
there
at
that
church
at
the
church
that
you
and
commissioner
becker
attend
one
of
the
stupidest
guys
that
it
is
in
the
world.
U
I
would
give
him
the
shirt
off
my
back,
but
if
you
remember
when
joe
kissimer
was
the
mayor
here
in
apopka,
you
had
your
buddy
rod,
love
every
every
council
meeting
coming
in
here
talking
about
the
police,
this
that
that
he
was
a
businessman
that
he
would
pay
for
diversity,
training.
You
got
a
fire
department
chief,
just
sitting
back
there,
this
guy,
mr
jason
friendly,
decided
to
share
with
the
world
what
apopka
police
did
to
him.
U
He
just
sent
out
a
directive
telling
everybody
on
the
fire
department
to
wear
a
ballistic
helmet,
invest
because
they're
going
to
be
around
you
got.
You
got
orange
county
sheriff's
department
setting
out
there,
instead
of
getting
out
talking
with
the
people
when
you
start
policing
when
you
start
protecting
and
serving
still
occupying
and
dominate.
V
V
V
What
good
advice
can
you
give
me
mayor?
We
got
a
long
history
together
and
like
monique
say
I
love
you
and
ain't,
nothing!
You
can
do
about
it.
I
feel
the
same
way,
but
our
content
is
different.
I
love
you
and
nothing.
You
can
do
about
it,
because
that's
what
god
commanded
me
to
do
eight
plus
years
ago,
I
think
that's
the
last
martin
luther
king
parade
I
participate
in
because
I
sit
back
and
I'll
watch.
V
V
V
and
we
had
another
encounter
when
my
kid
was
in
grade
school
over
at
rock
springs
elementary,
miss
gramondo.
We
had
another
crisis
like
we
do
now.
We
had
another
crisis
with
the
schooling
system.
Well,
mr
gramundo
invited
me
she
was
the
principal
at
rock
springs
elementary.
At
that
time
she
invited
me
to
go
to
tallahassee,
who
was
in
tallahassee
mary.

Nina
robinson,
small

of
central
florida,
53

east
main
street
apopka

32703
good
afternoon,
council
mayor
I'm
here
today
on
behalf
of
the
community
and
business
owners
in
the
community
on
the
south
apopka
side
in
regards
to
the
station
street
project.
W
W
W
W
Moving
forward
is
turning
too
conceptual.
They've
got
the
rfp
out.
They
finally
are
able
to
put
it
out
for
someone
to
actually
bid
it
so
that
it
can
become
a
reality.
That's
the
concern
of
the
community.
We
want
station
street
to
become
a
reality.
We
don't
want
to
get
caught
up
in
whatever's,
going
on
right
now
and
then
say,
for
instance,
we
want
to
do.
W
We
want
to
be
able
to
have
it
put
back
out
in
an
ample
amount
of
time,
not
for
it
to
be
forced
five
more
years
before
it's
put
out
again
and
therefore
holding
up
development
on
the
south
side
of
apopka.
We
know
the
north
side
and
all
over
the
other
areas
of
apopka.
There's
developments
going
on
every
day,
they're
breaking
ground
for
the
city
center
soon.
So
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
see
the
same
thing
on
the
south
side
of
apopka.
W
Minority
participation
is
needed,
local
women,
black
owned
veterans,
all
of
those
are
in,
are
needed
so
that
we
can
give
back.
If
the
companies
come
in
and
they're
able
to
work
on
something
that's
in
their
community
and
then
they
come
back
and
spend
their
money,
and
then
they
have
pride
on
what
they
see
in
their
community.
Don't
just
give
it
to
the
north
side.
You
know
it's
going
to
be
an
event
center
there
most
people
on
the
south
side
of
apopka
will
never
see
the
amphitheater
you
know.
W
So
those
are
things
that
the
community
wants
the
council
to
know
even
with
this
minority
participation.
Part
of
that
we
know
that
you
don't
have
a
small
business
department,
small
business
advocates
of
central
florida.
We
have
a
program
at
no
cost
to
the
city
that
can
help
you
do
what
you
need
to
do
in
order
to
bring
those
minority
businesses
in
and
we're
willing
to
partner
with
the
city.
To
do
that.
So
there's
ways
we're
just
wanting
to
make
sure
that
station
street
happens.
W
Speaking
with
propagate
josh
over
at
propagate
speaking,
it
with
three
eye
guys,
they
would
get
that
traction
from
station
street
so
they're
concerned
they
want
to
make
sure
that
it
still
happens.
I
know
the
city
staff
has
worked
very
hard
on
this
project,
so
we
just
want
to
make
sure
as
a
community
as
business
owners,
even
with
some
of
the
staff
that
this
happens
and
it's
not
caught
up
in
a
whirlwind
of
politics.
W
So
if
they
have
concerns,
they
can
voice
them
as
well,
even
if
it
does
have
to
go
out
ensuring
that
okay,
if
we
only
get
one
bidder,
let's
make
sure
that
all
facts
are
there
and
we're
doing
the
right
thing
as
far
as
making
sure
that
that
one
bidder
is
truly
and
we're
making
decisions
off
of
the
fact
that
they're
not
meeting
the
criteria
of
the
evaluation,
not
other
factors,
let's
make
sure
that
we
get
what
we're
what
we
deserve
because
there's
nothing.
They
haven't
had
any
development
over
here.
W
Since
the
dollar
store,
so
this
would
be
something
prideful
for
the
community
community
is
here.
We
have
business
owners
that
are
here.
We
have
different
ones
that
are
concerned,
so
we're
here
not
to
point
fingers
we're
wearing
these
shirts,
because
we
want
you
to
know
that
we
care
we're
not
wearing
these
shirts
to
say,
hey,
you
did
this
and
you
did
that,
and
why
did
you
do
this?
And
why
did
you
do
that?
We're
here
only
to
let
you
know
we're
here,
we
want
station
street
and
we
want
it
to
move
forward.
W
M
You
know
I
was
going
to
save
this
for
our
council
report,
but
I
think
it's
fitting
right
now
that
I
want
to
put
on
the
record.
I
regret
that
I
didn't
vote
yes,
even
though
it
wouldn't
have
gone
at
that
point,
but
just
in
the
climate
of
everything
it
just,
it
seemed
dead
in
the
water
and
letting
it
go.
Because
of
this,
we
had
the
opportunity
after
seeing
it
move
forward.
M
I
prefer
to
have
multiple
people
involved
in
that,
but
we
had
someone
willing
to
do
that
willing
to
come
in,
and
you
know
some
politicization
got
involved
in
that,
but
we
lost
an
opportunity
to
at
least
consider
that
at
least
tell
them.
This
is
what
we'd
like
to
see.
We
want
some
involvement
because
we
want
to
see
this
area
because
it
will
benefit
not
only
south
apopka
but
all
of
apopka
it'll,
heal
some
wounds
and
move
us
forward,
and
that's
been
a
number
of
years
that
I've
wanted
to
see
that.
M
S
M
F
F
The
fact
is,
and,
and
and
ms
robinson
touched
on
it-
you
know-
lack
of
retail
commercial
element
of
that
and
I'll
read
the
determination
of
the
cone
of
silence,
real,
quick
based
off
the
rfp.
F
The
cone
of
silence
shall
terminate
at
the
beginning
of
the
city
council
meeting
whether
regular,
special
or
committee
of
the
whole,
at
which
a
written
recommendation
is
proposed
to
the
city
council,
which
we
did
on
our
prior
city
council
meeting.
However,
the
city
council
refers
the
recommendation
back
from
further
review.
F
The
current
silence
shall
be
reimposed,
but
basically,
during
that
hearing
there
was
no
cone
of
silence,
and
so,
when
I
brought
up
my
issue
around
the
highlight
of
minor
commercial
within
that
that
submission
there
was
no
rebuttal
from
either
participants
in
staff
evaluation
committee
applicant
people
that
submitted
that
request
to
address
my
concerns
on
that
rfp
submittal,
so
yeah
there
was.
There
was
probably
three
reasons
why
I
motioned
to
reject
the
bid
and
that's
one
of
three,
but
I
stand
by
my
decision
that
I
made.
F
M
And-
and
you
know
to
be
clear-
I
respect
everyone's
right
for
their
reasons
for
what
they
do,
I'm
not
here
other
than
to
take
personal
responsibility.
As
I
looked
at
it,
I
see
an
opportunity
where
transparency
transparency
is
there.
I
know,
there's
a
concern
that
was
voiced
that
these
things
can
be
worded
in
such
a
way
as
to
exclude,
but
I
had
no
example
to
prove
that's
what
happened,
and
so
what
I
saw
was
we
could
have
brought
those
objections.
M
Now
we
have
nothing
to
even
work
with.
We
could
have
stopped
it
if
those
things
were
brought
forward.
You
know,
and
so
just
in
in
my
eyes
as
I
looked
at
the
process,
we
have
a
a
group
that,
regardless
of
of
campaign,
contradict
contributions
and
things
like
that
there
was
nothing
that
stopped
other
people
from
responding,
which
I
you
know
I
brought
up
in
our
discussion
and
also
this
is
a
process
where
there
was
a
scoring
that
you
know
that
this.
M
This
is
the
process
that
we
have
to
try
and
be
as
transparent
as
we
can
and
yet
not
be
a
dinosaur
in
trying
to
bring
development.
So
my
point
was:
had
we
moved
forward,
we
would
have
had
every
opportunity
to
stop
it
if
there
were
things
that
could
have
been
brought
up,
and
so
for
me
that's.
I
just
wanted
that
clear.
That's
where
I'm
at
and
thank
you
that's
on
me.
That's
on
me
accountable.
W
M
M
That's
something
that
we
as
I
understand
that
would
have
that
opportunity
to
say
we
want
these
things
on
the
table
or
we
can
say
now
so
at
that
point
I
thought
we
missed
it,
an
opportunity
that
we
could
have
shot
it
down
if
it
didn't
check
all
of
our
boxes
as
a
community.
So
I
just
wanted
to
be
transparent
with
my
heart,
that's
where
it
can
go
back
out
and
I
respect
everyone
else's.
I
See
I
think
when,
when
they
did
the
presentation
at
the
last
council
meeting,
there
was
a
lot
of
information
that
we
did
not
have
since
then
the
the
link
where
the
one
community
meeting
that
was
conducted,
I
did
tune
in
to
the
entire
meeting,
and
I
feel
that
if
that
information
that
came
out
of
there-
and
I
think,
if
you
remember
I
had
said
well-
I
want
to
understand
what
the
process
was.
How
did
they
score
them
and
how
did
it
come
before
us?
I
X
Hello,
I'm
kate,
manley,
the
apopka
area,
chamber
of
commerce
president
and
ceo.
This
I
was
just
going
to
mention
I've
gotten
a
lot
of
feedback
in
the
last
couple
of
weeks
since
the
last
time
I
was
here
to
present
about
the
economic
development
package,
the
website,
the
press,
release
and
video.
X
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
there's
an
understanding
of
the
structure
of
the
chamber
of
commerce,
the
chamber
of
commerce,
is
an
independent
organization.
We
are
not.
We
are
not
city
employees,
we
are
not.
We
do
not
work
for
the
city,
however,
the
city
is
actually
a
member
of
the
chamber
of
commerce,
as
are
many
other
people,
several
of
which
are
in
here.
X
I
also
would
like
to
mention
with
that
that
it
is
a
pleasure
to
be
a
partner
with
the
city,
and
most
of
the
commissioners
are
very,
very
engaged
with
what
we
have
going
on
and
and
even
with
regard
to
bringing
developers
in.
We
have
collaborative
partners
on
city
commission
on
city
staff
who
come
in
as
well
as
the
mayor
to
help
us
to
either
greet
them.
Give
them
information
when
we're
bringing
in
some
organizations
who
want
to
invest
in
our
community.
X
I'd
also
like
to
briefly
address
the
fact
that
whenever,
if
you
notice,
we
have
any
of
our
members,
we
have
474
members
today
that
are
business
members.
So
that
means
multiple
people
in
their
organizations
are
members.
We
always
try
to
be
here
for
our
members
when
they're
meeting
with
council,
because
we
are
a
liaison
between
our
businesses
and
the
city,
either
city
processing,
permitting
we
try
to
be
a
liaison
because
a
lot
of
times,
I'm
the
only
person
or
one
of
my
staff
or
the
only
people.
X
They
know
that
they
can
come
to
when
they
are
here
to
present
to
commission
or
counsel
with.
That
being
said,
I'm
here
today
representing
a
couple
of
my
members
that
will
also
be
coming
up
to
speak
in
a
little
bit.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
that
that
is
understood
that
we
don't
take
a
position
other
than
to
be
advocates
to
our
our
businesses.
X
While
I
did
not
deliberately
or
specifically
have
a
conversation
with
anyone
here.
Prior
to
that
rfp
conversation,
I
want
to
remind
everybody
that
that
conversation,
that
vote
was
not
to
not
to
approve
the
rfp,
but
to
just
get
it
to
that
next
level,
where
it
would
have
been
open
to
the
community
to
know
some
of
the
really
exciting
projects
that
were
in
play
for
that
developer.
X
I
spent
about
nine
months
working
with
a
private
education
institution
to
bring
them
here.
They
spent
money
to
fly
here.
They
brought
their
leadership
here
and
I
helped
them
do
phys
feasibility
studies
for
employment
and
training
programs
that
they
would
offer
here
both
medical
vocational
I.t,
and
it
was
very
disappointing
when
that
didn't
move
forward.
So
you
could
have
known
about
those
opportunities,
especially
because
they
specifically
serve
underserved
communities
and
minority
populations
in
all
of
their
other
schools.
X
So
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
mention
that
I
have
had
conversations
with
many
of
you
after
I
appreciate
so
much,
commissioner
bankston
your
comment
that
you
regret
that
it
didn't
move
forward.
I
desperately
regret
that
it
didn't
go
forward
because
I've
spent
a
lot
of
time
and
efforts
and
extra
hours
helping
that
organizat
organization,
because
they
really
wanted
to
be
the
anchor
in
this
community
and
unfortunately,
I
had
brought
two
developers
to
the
table.
X
One
could
not
afford
to
submit
an
rfp
at
that
level
without
a
signed
anchor
and
the
other
could
and
did
so
it's
unfortunate,
but
I
wanted
to
make
mention
of
that
and
let
you
know
your
chamber
is
working
for
you.
We're
working
together,
we're
working
for
this
community.
We
do
have
diversity
and
inclusion
committees,
you
are
you're,
you
have
all
the
opportunities
in
the
world
to
be
engaged
with
the
chamber
and
we
try
to
pick
up
on
anything
that
isn't
already
being
worked
on
through
the
city
like
senior
services.
X
A
A
Have
two
campuses:
one
in
osceola,
county,
they're,
they're
kind
of
flagship
one
and
then
one
in
deland,
the
land
and
so
yeah.
It
would
have
been
a
pretty
exciting
opportunity
for
us
to
have
a
a
technical
school
here.
That
would
you
know
those
those
folks
that
didn't
want
to
get
a
four-year
degree,
a
great
opportunity
and
and
and
for
four-year.
I
So
so
this
is,
this
is
the
question
that
I
have
is
that
he,
the
mayor,
gets
to
meet
with
these
different
groups
and
sometimes
by
the
time
something
is
brought
to
us
at
the
council.
That's
all
the
information,
that's
kind
of
missing
for
us
there's
it
so
I
mean
you
met
with
the
group
from
puerto
rico,
and
I
mean
that
would
have
been
a
great
opportunity.
I
I
X
X
I
Was
how
do
we
as
an
individual
commissioner?
Each
of
us
have
an
idea
of
what's
being
brought
like
today.
This
gentleman
came
and
brought
this
to
me
today.
He
spoke
to
me
before,
but
when
he
made
his
presentation,
the
only
commissioner
that's
been
involved
in
it
is
commissioner,
like
alexander,
I
had
no
idea.
This
was
even
in
existence
that
he
was
going
to
present
it.
I
mean
I'm
for
it,
because
anything,
that's
going
to
lift
our
youth
and
help
people
get
out
and
get
a
job
and
get
a
ged,
I'm
all
for
it.
X
I
would
have
stayed
and
I
am
not
under
a
cone
of
silence
and
could
have
said
something
so
that
you
know,
because
I
had
built
a
relationship
for
both
both
of
the
parties,
so
I
could
have
if
I'd
known,
but
because
it
was
not
to
accept
an
rfp,
it
was
only
to
accept
the
opportunity
to
move
forward
and
have
a
conversation
about
it
and
to
negotiate
it
when
it
becomes
then
public,
then
I
I
had
no
idea
that
that
would
happen.
X
However,
I
will
just
caution
in
and
say
that,
for
you,
you
guys
are
commissioners.
This
is
your
job.
This
is
your
part-time
job,
some
of
you,
but
it
is
your
job
and
it's
your
job
to
understand.
What
is
the
process
that
people
go
through
for
rfp?
That
is
not
my
job.
You
can
google
it.
You
can
check,
you
can
do
workshops,
but
you
can.
You
can
find
out
other
ways
and
then
also
grants
it's.
It's
not
my
position
to
come
in
and
teach
you
how
to
do
it.
It's
yours!
It's
your
position
to
learn
it!
X
I
I
F
F
Q
X
X
It
was
not
about
the
station
street,
specifically,
it's
just
that.
You
know
it
was
sweet.
We're
aware
that
I
was
working
on
bringing
them
here,
because
we've
had
conversations
about
it
and
how
and
and
so
have
a
few
of
you
have
had
that
conversation
with
me,
knowing
that
what
I
was
working
on
so
again,
it's
unfortunate.
Y
Can
I
further
clarify
just
I
want
to
clarify
and
make
the
statement
regarding
the
cone
of
silence?
Well,
it
does
prohibit
communications
between
a
bidder
and
the
government
body.
That's
and
that's
the
two
that
are
prohibited,
that
cone
doesn't
start
unless
the
rfp
is
advertised
prior
to
advertisement.
If
there's
no
advertisement,
there's
no
cone
of
silence.
I
understand
that
so
we
want
to
be
straight.
Y
We
wanted
to
appear
that
if,
as
long
as
a
bid,
an
rfp
is
not
at
or
an
rfp
or
an
rfq
or
a
bid
as
long
as
it's
not
advertised
so.
F
F
M
Well,
it's
a
challenge.
Obviously,
when
we
we
deal
with
the
different
laws
to
make
sure
that
things
are
just
fair
legal
apparent
you
know
transparent,
I
mean
it
starts
to
feel
like
I,
I
hear
the
theme
of
get
smart
behind
us.
You
know
when
we
we
talk
about
doing
these
things.
We
just
want
to
get
things
done,
but
we
have
to
do
them
in
the
right.
C
M
And
you
know
again,
I
respect
that.
We
all
should
examine
those
things
and
and
know-
and
you
know
continue
to
educate
ourselves
on
that.
Hopefully
we
can
move
ahead
now
and
hopefully
this
can
be
resubmitted
and
that
we
can
do
this
and
have
the
conversations
that
we
need
with
the
time
to
adjust
it
to
what
fits
our
community,
and
you
know
that
we
are
not
viewed
on
the
broader
scale
as
a
city,
that's
difficult
to
work
with.
So
I
think.
E
C
Z
Z
I
don't
think
it's
by
sheer
coincidence
that
these
aspersions
go
into
hyperdrive
in
the
days
and
weeks
right
before
an
election
in
hope
that
it
will
affect
the
outcome,
but
it's
deeper
than
that,
as
these
individuals
seem
to
have
too
much
time
in
their
hand
and
some
hatred
in
their
heart.
The
bottom
line
is
they're,
not
interested
in
good
government
or
public
policy
they're
only
interested
in
furthering
their
personal
agenda,
and
if
it
means
that
the
city
of
apopka
and
citizens
and
businesses
are
caught
in
the
crosshairs,
then
so
be
it
recently.
Z
A
certain
facebook
administrator
put
up
a
post
that
called
into
question
the
city's
money
market
account
with
one
florida
bank.
Although
the
city
has
a
deposit
relationship
with
three
commercial
banks,
as
well
as
the
state
board
of
administration,
the
administrator
of
this
page
saw
fit
to
only
mention
one
florida
bank,
because
he
has
an
axe
to
grind
with
mayor.
Nelson
who's
been
a
friend
of
mine
for
over
35
years.
Z
He
claims
that
mayor
nelson
is
a
stockholder
in
one
florida
bank
and
insinuates
that
he
steered
31
million
dollars
of
city
money
into
one
florida
bank
in
into
the
one
florida
bank
money
market
account
on
the
surface.
The
accusation
looks
ugly
and
appalling,
but
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
it's
100
percent
false.
Z
Neither
mayor,
nelson
or
any
member
of
his
family
are
or
have
been
stockholders
in
one
florida
bank.
Let
me
repeat
that
neither
mayor,
nelson
or
any
member
of
his
family
are
or
have
been
stockholders
of
one
florida
bank
period
with
regard
to
the
31
million
dollars.
Several
months
ago,
the
city
reached
out
to
several
local
banks
to
see
what
kind
of
interest
rate
they
could
earn
and
all
of
them
were
less
than
what
one
florida
bank
was
willing
to
pay
granted.
Z
Z
Z
One
bank
is
paying
0.20
on
the
general
investment
account
that
holds
over
55
million
dollars,
while
another
bank
is
paying
2.47
on
a
5.5
million
dollar
cd
that
is
scheduled
to
mature
this
spring
when
the
cd
matures
I'm
confident
that
rate
will
be
adjusted
downward
flip
to
reflect
market
rates.
With
regard
to
the
account
with
the
state
board
of
administration,
the
city
only
keeps
about
24
000,
since
the
rate
is
only
0.13,
so,
as
you
can
see,
comparatively
speaking,
the
city
is
good,
getting
a
good
deal
with
one
florida
bank.
Z
Another
example
of
this
person's
uninformed
accusations
is
to
claim
that
the
city's
deposits
are
not
adequately
insured
with
fdic
insurance,
whereas
fdic
insurance
is
capped
at
250
000
per
account
holder.
I
submit
that
there
aren't
enough
chartered
financial
institutions
in
central
florida
to
put
all
the
city's
deposits
under
the
fdic
umbrella
to
lessen
the
risk
to
apopka
and
other
municipalities.
Z
The
coming
in
maintaining
a
qpd
status
requires
that
financial
state
institutions
achieve
and
maintain
a
certain
level
of
financial
safety
and
soundness
to
protect
the
liquidity
of
its
municipal
customers,
such
as
the
city.
With
regard
to
the
city
of
apopka,
their
one
florida
bank
account
is
covered
by
the
250
thousand
dollars
in
fdic
insurance
and
is
further
collateralized
with
cash
and
securities
again
per
state
statute.
Chapter
280.
Z
there's
nothing
wrong
with
with
scrutinizing
the
city's
deposit
accounts.
In
fact,
it's
a
responsible
thing
to
do
for
response
for
responsible
citizens
to
do,
however,
to
singly
question
the
20
31
million
dollar
deposit
account
at
one
florida
bank,
while
simultaneously
ignoring
61
million
dollars
in
additional
city
funds
on
deposit
at
other
financial
institutions
confirms
that
ignorance,
self-serving
politics
and
personal
vendetta
is
the
basis
for
these
unfounded
accusations.
Z
Finally,
social
media
in
the
hands
of
the
uninformed
is
tragic.
Social
social
media
in
the
hands
of
the
uninformed,
who
are
holding
an
unfounded
grudge,
is
dangerous.
It
casts
seeds
of
suspicion
and
doubt
makes
enemies
out
of
those
who
were
once
friends
and
tears
at
the
very
fabric
of
a
that
holds
a
community
to
get
a
community
together.
Z
Whether
you
realize
it
or
not,
apopka
is
truly
a
special
place
to
live
and
work.
That's
not
hyperbole,
but
fact,
but
I'm
convinced
there
are
outside
forces,
including
this
particular
facebook
administrator
who
are
working
diligently
to
tear
it
apart.
Unfortunately,
I
fear
that
some
in
the
community
allow
and
even
encourage
it
to
happen.
Some
of
those
people
might
be
right
here
in
these
chambers
or
watching
online.
Everyone
has
their
reasons,
but
the
common
denominator
of
those
who
condone
this
type
of
behavior
is
ignorance
and
selfishness.
Z
I've
always
been
a
competitive
person,
but
have
never
ever
subscribed
to
the
notion
of
whatever
it
takes
to
win
to
do
whatever
it
takes
to
win
means
you
would
consider
taking
shortcuts,
spreading
misinformation
and
even
cheating,
if
any
of
you
on
the
dais
or
in
the
audience
openly
encourage
such
behavior.
Then
I
encourage
you
to
stop
and
show
some
leadership.
Z
We
can
all
disagree,
but
it
has
to
be
done
with
a
certain
level
of
civility
and
decorum,
encouraging
a
facebook
administrator
who
is
loose
with
the
facts
and
who
thoroughly
despises
our
community
and
what
it
stands
for
is
wrong
and
makes
you
part
of
the
problem.
In
closing
I'd
like
to
say,
I've
been
a
proud
member
of
the
rotary
club
of
apopka
for
34
years
and
worked
diligently
to
abide
by
the
rotary
international
four-way
test,
which
reads
as
follows:
is
it
the
truth?
Is
it
fair
at
all
concerned?
Z
F
You
and
just
real
quick-
and
I
want
to
be
very
crystal
clear.
I
run
three
facebook
pages
kyle
becker
the
commissioner
page
for
this
seat
in
my
my
becker
for
mayor
page
and
anybody
that
operates
a
facebook
page
other
than
those
three
things
they're
their
own
people.
F
In
fact,
I
had
an
email
with
with
mr
bass
was
that
this
morning
or
yesterday,
as
a
result
of
the
comments
on
monday
night's
event-
and
it
was
just
that
it's
to
make
sure
okay
are
we.
How
are
we
insured
at
the
bank?
Are
we
insured
through
the
fdic
insurance?
Are
we
insured
through
capital
adequacy?
Are
we
you
know?
Do
you
use?
Do
you
structure
it
where
you
federate
our
funds
across
other
institutions,
so
we
do
get
under
that
250
umbrella
to
other
institutions?
F
I
don't
know
and
that's
the
question
that
I
had,
but
I
voted
in
favor
of
of
that
piece
of
business.
What
was
a
year
ago,
two
years
ago
that
we
moved
that
to
one
florida,
and
I
would
hope
that
we
continually
look
at
pricing
bank
pricing
as
it
fluctuates,
because
you
may
not
be
able
to
offer
out
one
floor
to
the
same
pricing
last
year
that
you
can
next
year.
F
Z
F
G
G
Our
team
spent
35
thousand
dollars
in
countless
hundreds
of
hours
working
with
our
architects
engineers
planners
same
ones
that
are
involved
with
floridian
town
center,
plus
two
other
large
developments
we
have
here
in
apopka
for
our
trouble.
I
was
personally
insulted,
had
accusations
leveled
at
me
by
mr
becker
that,
because
I
opted
to
exercise
my
god-given
right
to
support
a
political
candidate,
my
choice,
that
was
the
basis
of
the
denial
of
the
rfp.
G
G
You
discriminated
against
me
based
on
my
political
choice
and
used
that
as
the
sole
basis
to
disqualify
the
rfp
and
as
disgusting
as
that
is
the
fact
that
the
city
now
won't
get
a
10
million
investment.
We
reallocated
that
money
to
titusville,
so
we're
building
350
apartments
next
to
spacex
and
project
kraken.
That
would
be
far
more
lucrative
for
our
company.
G
Apopka
will
suffer.
Perhaps
mr
becker
and
his
family
would
like
to
guarantee
the
10
million
loan
and
go
do
the
project
himself
because
it
had
such
sizzle.
Well,
that
sizzle
started
with
the
contamination
on
the
site
next
to
the
railroad
tracks.
And
if
you
read
the
rfp,
the
city
wants
to
sell
a
roughly
three
acre
parcel,
but
they
want
half
of
it
back
improved
for
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars.
G
G
I'm
spending
over
750
million
dollars
in
your
community,
bettering
it.
You
were
at
the
debate
the
other
night
and
had
a
temper
tantrum
about
restaurants.
I
brought
apopka
the
first
james
beard,
award-winning
restaurant
it'll
have
was
there
a
thank
you?
No,
you
insult
me
and
insinuate.
I
was
corrupt.
G
G
G
I
don't
want
to
do
that.
Why
do
I
want
to
hurt
the
people
of
apopka,
because
somebody
decided
to
politicize
an
rfp
for
their
own
campaign,
but
I
am
going
to
hold
back
whether
or
not
I
am
going
to
go
after
something
with
this,
because
my
lawyers
feel
I've
got
a
damn
good
case
for
it,
but
I'm
just
more
disappointed
that,
after
everything
we've
done
and
since
you
like
keeping
score
of
who
does
donations
the
last
few
years,
I've
donated
sixteen
thousand
dollars
to
shop.
G
With
a
cop
ten
thousand
dollars
to
the
chamber,
we
wrote
a
fifty
thousand
dollar
check
to
the
city
of
apopka
when
we
started
that
to
bring
on
new
help,
for
you
guys
does
that
get
mentioned.
No
just
the
fact.
I
supported
one
candidate
who
you
don't
like,
and
you
decided
to
use
this
moment
and
all
the
work
leading
up
to
this
rfp
to
make
your
political
grandstand.
G
G
A
R
A
Opposed
motion
carries
unanimously
next
up
got
a
business
item.
I
know
jim's
out
so
bobby's
gonna
step
in,
I
know
he's
not
all
that
comfortable,
but
I
don't
there's
not
a
lot
to
it.
So
I
just
wanted
to
you
can
go
ahead
and
present
that
for
us
please.
H
Sir,
absolutely
good
afternoon
bobby
howe
planning
manager.
This
is
a
request
to
pursue
a
level
two
and
a
level
three
environmental
assessment
for
the
greater
growers,
property,
which
is
north
of
camp
lewis.
It's
gonna
be
used
to
help
acquire
to
expand
kemply
wall
and
staff
is
here
for
questions.
M
I
think
we're
gonna
be
good.
There.
A
A
If
it's,
not
the
city
they'll
at
least
that
the
phase
two
and
the
phase
three
audit
will
help
them
get
to
the
point
where
somebody's
comfortable
buying
you
know
an
ag
property,
that's
been
in,
you
know
in
use
for
gosh
60
years,
probably
so
anyway,
it
will
help
them
and
then,
if
hopefully,
if
we
can
figure
out
a
way
to
get
through
that,
you
know
we
get
the
the
appraisal
back
and
then
bring
it
back
as
a
business.
That's
something
we
want
to
entertain.
F
The
I
think
how
we
left
the
last
city
council
meeting
is
is
even
if
it
came
back
at
the
appraised
value
of
what
we
were
thinking
the
last
meeting.
How
are
we
funding
this
and.
D
Last
friday
you
got
about
670
000
on
the
parcel
that
was
sold
for
them
to
continue
their
development.
So
you
have
that
in
mind.
Keep
that
in
mind.
That's
you
know
other
land
that
was
sold
and
then
you
have
some
pieces
that
were
sold
before
that
as
well.
D
So
well,
we
can
bring
you
all
those
dollars.
We
bring
the
exact
amount
of
those
dollars,
but
you
currently
last
friday
you
sold
about
300
or
670
thousand
dollars
worth
of
land.
D
A
F
O
Okay,
ordinance
number
28.95,
an
ordinance
of
the
city
of
apopka
florida
amending
the
future
land
use
element
of
the
apopka
comprehensive
plan
of
the
city
of
apopka.
Changing
the
future
land
use,
designation
from
commercial
to
mixed
use
for
certain
real
property,
located
north

boulevard
and
west
of
sheila
avenue,
comprising
5.67
acres,
more
or
less
and
owned
by
3r
corp,
providing
for
severability
and
for
an
effective

J
M
I'm
sure
it's
a
misprint
here
on
page
126,
it
says
maximum
one
dwelling
unit
per
15
acres.
I
think
that
was
printed
wrong.
15.
M
Yes,
so
one
per
15,
you
know
I
before,
but
I
actually
I
objected
to
this
before
when
we're
talking
about
having
multiple
units
because
of
monroe
because
of
the
neighborhoods
there.
That's
still
my
concern
again,
I
want
to
see
this
type
of
development
come
into
the
city,
but
it
would
take
a
lot
of
infrastructure
a
lot
more
than
that
for
that
neighborhood
and
those
streets
to
be
able
to
handle
that
I'm
concerned
about
the
level
of
traffic
myself,
and
so
I
again
restate
that.
J
I
A
J
Do
a
maximum
of
1.0
floor
aeration
floor
error
ratio
for
non-residential
uses
so
should
one
have
the
mixed-use
feature,
land
use
and
mixed-use
downtown
zoning.
It
opens
up
capability
to
do
both
residential
and
non-residential,
whereas
today
they
only
have
commercial
future
land
use,
they
can
only
do
non-residential
uses.
M
And
and
the
problem
is
that
leaves
us
open-ended
for
them
to
be
able
to
say
well,
it
is
does
qualify
for
that.
Therefore,
I
want
to
put
15
units
per
acre,
and
that
was
my
concern
about
other
things
that
have
come
before
us.
So
I
would
like
to
find
a
way
where
that
type
of
use
that's
acceptable,
because
it's
minimal
it's
not
overwhelming
to
the
community,
but
to
have
something
that
can
be
used
for
that
and
if
they
come
and
say
we
qualify.
M
Therefore,
you
can't
tell
us
no,
then
the
the
citizens
that
have
expressed
their
concerns
about
that
and-
and
I
really
agree
with
that's
my
concern-
so
is
there
a
way
that
we
can
help
accomplish
that
without
it,
leaving
an
open
end
that
we
end
up
not
being
able
to
say
no
to.
H
Commissioner,
as
phil
was
saying,
the
property
has
would,
if
approved,
on
the
second
reading
of
mixed
use,
future
land
use
would
be
assigned
to
it.
It's
already
got
a
zoning
of
mixed
use,
downtown
on
it,
which
the
mixed-use
downtown
zoning
basically
encompasses
a
whole
lot
of
thing
things
in
the
code
and
it's
kind
of
looked
at
as
a
use
as
a
way
to
encourage
redevelopment
in
some
of
the
downtown.
So
right
now,
with
the
future
land
use
of
commercial,
all
someone
could
do
is
a
commercial
building
on
it
with
a
very
low
four
area
ratio.
H
So
if,
with
the
adoption
of
the
mixed
use,
it
kind
of
opens
up
a
lot
of
opportunities
for
development
of
the
property,
just
because
they've
indicated
it
might
be
residential
doesn't
mean
it
would
be
residential
in
the
future.
Necessarily,
it
could
be
a
live
work
environment.
It
could
be
an
office
building,
it
could
be
commercial,
it
could
be
a
whole
new
list
of
things.
Y
M
So
the
same
type
of
situation
as
the
neighborhood
across
from
the
airport,
and
we
had
that
discussion,
so
the
bottom
line
is
we
need
to
change
the
code
to
reflect
something
that
will
allow
this
type
of
use
without
leaving
an
open
end
for
it
to
be
used
different
than
maybe
what
they
present
to
us.
Initially.
H
And
one
thing
I
might
add
is
if
you
see
on
the
screen
currently,
the
area
in
green
is
all
the
mixed
use
downtown.
So
everything
in
in
the
downtown's
mixed
use,
including
the
building,
we're
sitting
in
right
now,
it's
mixed
use
downtown,
is
it's
owning
the
future
land
use
on
these
are
commercial
and
there's
a
compatibility
matrix
in
the
land
development
code,
section
1.8
that
basically
implements
the
type
of
zoning
and
future
land
use.
You
can
have
on
a
parcel
so,
for
instance,
in
the
mixed
use,
downtown
compatibility
future
compatible
future
land
use.
M
And
so
let's
hypothetical
here
that
the
developer
says:
listen,
we
want
to
do
that.
We
want
to
limit
residential,
but
we
want
that
ability
because
there's
other
things
we'd
like
to
do
we
move
ahead
and
for
some
reason
his
development
falls
through.
Another
developer
comes
in
because
we've,
given
it
that
classification,
they
can
say
I
want
to
put
in
15
units
per
acre
and
you
can't
stop.
M
So,
there's
no
way
to
protect
our
citizens
who
come
to
us.
We've
seen
this
in
different
areas.
That
was
my
concern
because
I
don't
think
that
use
is
the
best
use
for
that
area.
Although
there's
other
areas
that'll
work
for
sure,
you
know
again
we're
not
anti-business
and
growth,
we
just
want
to
do
it
in
a
way
that
doesn't
impact
and
those
who've
already
planted
their
life
here.
M
So
if
we
need
to
create
another
category
that
can
allow
that
that
type
of
mixed
use
but
protect
in
these
areas,
we
don't
want
it
high
density
residents
because
of
the
impact,
then
I
think
we
need
to
do
that
and
I
don't
want
to
gum
up
the
process
here
for
anybody.
But
you
know
I'm
just
concerned,
because
other
citizens
have
suffered
the
same
fate
right.
H
F
A
F
Being
that
it's
on
a
major
roadway
system,
what
is
the
percent
requirement
for
commercial
versus
residential
on
that
piece
of
property?
In
regards
to
so
on
our
mixed-use
classifications,
we
have
depending
on
whether
or
not
it's
on
the
type
of
roadway
that
it
is
situated
on.
There's
requirements
that
drive
how
much
commercial
is
required
versus
residential.
J
H
I
AA
Good
afternoon
for
the
record
on
behalf
of
the
owner
kim
fisher
scicorp
engineering,
1614
white,
dove
drive
winter
springs.
I
do
want
to
first
think
staff
staff
has
been
really
great
dealing
with
and
they
answer
my
phone
call.
So
I
love
that
I
wish
that
could
expand,
maybe
to
maybe
orange
county
or
something
so
I
I
do
think
bobby
and
phil,
because
unless
maybe
they
need
caller
id,
because
I
bug
them
all
the
time
but
yeah
for
this
parcel.
We
are
right
next
door
to
not
a
great
shopping
center.
AA
AA
There
will
be
a
clubhouse,
an
amenity
center,
a
dog,
a
dog
park,
by
any
stretch
of
the
imagination,
we're
going
to
not
fully
developing
this
site.
There
is
going
to
be
a
pretty
substantial
amount
of
open
space
green
space
on
here
and,
if
you've
got
any
other
questions,
we
look
forward
to
working
with
the
community.
I
AA
AA
I
AA
Sure-
and
we
do
have
to
do
a
traffic
study
and
we
are
going
to
be
having
access
from
436.
I
would
imagine
most
of
the
traffic,
at
least
from
the
south
is
going
to
be
utilizing
436
versus
using
monroe.
I
wouldn't
think
that
we're
going
to
have
any
more
on
there
than
the
shopping
center
there.
AA
Monroe
is
just
not
yes,
there's
a
lot
less
traffic,
but
I
I
think
most
of
it's
going
to
come
from
436,
but
that
will
also
be
in
the
traffic
study
that
is
done
so
that
they
will
have
to
analyze
which
direction
how
many
trips
per
day
we're
not
a
very
huge
apartment,
complex
multi-family,
it's
I
think,
we're
at
maybe
86
units.
So
it's
it's!
It's
not
a
very
big
community
at
all.
AA
No,
no,
because
the
way
that
the
code
is
written
like
when
we
wanted
to
explore
doing
a
commercial
building
there.
That
would
then
have
to
take
away
from
the
multi-units,
and
then
it
was
a
little
harder
to
separate
the
two
in
terms
of
then
having
to
plot
it
to
carve
out
basically
an
out
parcel.
So
we
did
look
at
that
and
we
did
some
concept
plans
and
we
spoke
to
the
city
about
that.
But
that
just
wasn't
working
out.
M
So
the
average
there
it
says
is
2.659
persons
per
household
I'd
like
to
know
how
they
get
the
partial
person,
but
a
little
humor,
but
it's
an
increase
of
226
persons
and
so
again
there
there's
volume
there
and
I
love
the
mixed
use
concept
and
this
seems
to
be
holy
towards
the
housing
and
you
know
hate
to
to
say
you
know
to
come
against
anything
development.
But
it's
it's
got
to
be
something
that's
compatible
and
I
have
been
con
contacted
by
people
that
live
in
the
area.
M
A
Pam
you
want
to
come
up,
I
mean
I
know
it's
it's
way
in
front
of
you,
but
but
just
as
kind
of
a
at
forty
thousand
feet
talk
because
you're,
obviously
working
with
winn
dixie
on
the
site
next
to
him.
So
if
you
could
just
kind
of
give
us
a
little
comfort
or
give
us
some
some
some
ideas
on
how
you
see
it,
maybe
coming
about.
AB
Now
I
think
that
we're
going
to
ask
these
folks
to
provide
some
way
we're
trying
to
develop
a
walkable
community
there
and
we've
talked
to
dot
about
that
they're
totally
on
board
with
it
we're
not
going
to
add
more
capacity
to
436,
it's
just
not
possible,
so
we're
targeting
a
lower
speed,
bringing
the
speed
down
making
the
area
walkable
and
because
winn-dixie
is
going
to
be
right
next
door.
You
can
take
some
of
the
trip
generation
off
right
off.
The
top
you've
got
that.
AB
You're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
inner
connectivity
of
trips,
people
will
walk.
So
I
I
understand
your
concern,
but
it
was
our
desire
when
we
did
city
center
to
create
a
walkable
area.
I
remember
having
discussions
about
safely
getting
people
across
436
441.
So
that's
why
we
fixed
that
intersection
with
mcgee.
AB
You
know:
you've
got
starbucks
across
the
street,
the
beer
hall,
some
other
things,
so
I
do
see
not
using
the
standard
trip
generation
rates
for
that
project
because
of
all
the
interconnectivity
of
the
walkable
amenities.
AB
AB
What
am
I
misunderstanding,
there's
going
to
be
impact
on
436
and
there's
going
to
be
impact
on
monroe,
but
I
would
agree
you're
going
to
see
most
of
the
traffic
accessing
and
exiting
the
site
through
on
to
436.,
if
that's
making
a
connection
to
the
shopping
center
to
the
east
to
get
to
the
light
at
sheila
or
if
it's
through
direct
access
onto
436.
AB
That's
still
where
you're
going
to
see
most
of
your
traffic,
going
back
behind
the
site
to
get
on
monroe
to
come
over
to
mcgee
or
to
cut
over
another
way
is
it's
possible
and
if
we're
only
talking
about
90
units,
we're
talking
about
less
than
400
daily
trips
or
40
peak
hour
trips.
A
So
so
pam
on
on
the
436
at
sheila
is
there?
Is
there
room
there?
I
mean?
Maybe
I'm
getting
way
too
far
into
the
weeds
on
that
enough
room
where
we
could
put
another
a
turn
lane
there
or
do
you
see?
I
don't
know
what
we've
got
there,
but
that
would
be
it
would
seem
to
be.
That
would
be
the
logical
place
if
they
were
gonna
come
out.
You
know,
I
think
you
know.
A
A
AB
So
I
don't
believe,
that's
our
signal,
but
orange
county
has
been
very
accommodating
lately,
so
I
don't
think
that
they
would
fight
us
on
an
improvement.
A
AB
Well,
that's
not
a
given
that
there's
going
to
be
an
entrance
on
436..
There
are
some
topography
issues
there
and
some
driveway
spacing
issues
and
they
haven't
come
in
with
that.
Yet
we
haven't
seen
the
plan
to
see
if
it
makes
fits
fits
the
spacing
there
is
what
looks
like
an
existing
curb
cut
there
right
now.
It's
it's
about
this
steep
yeah.
That's
what
you're
getting.
C
AB
And
I
don't
know
that
that's
a
viable
connection,
point
anymore,
since
I
think
that's
been
there
since,
before
436
and
441
merged
there
certainly
would
have
to
be
a
eternaline,
but
then
you
become
into
conflict
with
the
dairy
queen
and
we
just
spent
about
three
million
dollars.
Fixing
that-
and
you
can
be
assured,
I'm
not
going
to
recommend
approval
of
anything
that
I
think
would
undo
the
fix
that
we've
done.
But
I
know
that
we
can
find
safe
and
adequate
access
for
this
project.
AB
AB
AB
40
or
80
units
and
400
daily
trips
is
is
not
a
huge
number,
but
it
certainly
they
have
to
deal
with
their
impacts.
A
C
E
R
M
Okay,
yeah
that
that's
the
thing
that
could
move
the
needle
for
me,
but
without
those
assurances
again
we're
in
a
situation
where
you
know,
as
this
begins
to
happen,
we're
gonna.
Have
the
community
say.
Why
didn't
you
protect
us
so
again,
I'd
love
to
see
us
be
able
to
try
and
do
something
and
if
there's
a
way
to
work
that
out,
but
until
then
I'm
I'm
hesitant
myself
unless
we
can
figure
out
a
way
within
code
to
but
again
their
their
desire
is
to
do
multi-housings.
T
AB
Do
agree
commercial
generates
more
than
this
residential
land
use,
so
whatever
y'all
decide
works
best
for
you
on
that
site.
I've
got
my
eye
on
the
traffic,
and
you
know
it's
just
you
know
you
still
have
to
go
in
and
out
of
the
site,
regardless
of
what
what
the
use
is.
AB
F
You,
mr
becker,
no
I
was
just
going
to
say
I
mean
we've
got
obviously
two
bites
of
this
apple.
We've
got
a
second
hearing
that
comes
up.
Is
there
any
possible
way
that
we
can
get
the
concept
plan
for
this
location?
Just
so
I
can
visually
see
it,
because
I
think
that
would
help
alleviate
some
of
the,
because
I
think
we've
all
gotten
the
residential
feedback
of
christiana
and
the
the
traffic
that
comes
south
on
christiana
goes
on
monroe.
So
it
might
be
helpful
to
see
that
concept
plan.
AA
C
A
C
AC
Hi
there
I'm
wayne
levack,
I
live
at
823
east
orange
street.
I'm
two
blocks
from
this
project
that
we're
talking
about
here
and
yes,
I
am
very
concerned
about
the
traffic
that
it's
going
to
be
more
traffic
on
monroe
and
christiana.
That
road
is
already
a
speed
zone
as
it
is.
I
don't
know
if
any
commissioners
have
ever
really
looked
at
that
road,
but
it
is
it's
a
speed
zone.
AC
They
come
off
of
436
and
they
they
come
down
the
road
and
says
25,
there's
no
such
thing
as
25
on
the
road
and
they
you
know
they
come
down
christiana.
They
fly
down
christiana
and
I'm
not
saying
everybody
does
it,
but
it's
a
high
traffic
area
as
it
exists
now
and
I'm
opposed
to
having
a
apartment
complex
there
with
more
resonances,
and
I
like
what
I'm
hearing
about
you
know
maybe
working
on
monroe.
AC
I
think
it
needs
to
be
looked
at
to
be
redone,
and
you
know
monroe
shifts
a
little
bit
as
you
come
up
to
christian.
AC
It
shifts
up
you
know
and
that
that's
kind
of
dangerous
there,
if
you,
if
you,
if
you're
at
right
at
the
stop
sign
at
christiana,
trying
to
make
a
left
or
right
on
monroe,
there's
a
you
know:
a
hill
on
the
right
and
cars
come
flying
over
that
I
almost
got
hit
a
couple
times
and
I've
lived
there
40
years
and
because
cars
just
come
down
here
too
fast
they
did
and
and
a
lot
of
cars
during
the
regular
traffic
hours.
You
can't
even
get
out
of
that
stop
sign.
AC
I
mean
I've.
Sat
there,
five,
maybe
ten
minutes
trying
to
get
out
of
there.
So
you
know.
I
just
feel
like
that.
I
I
I
like
what
I'm
hearing
as
far
as
traffic
study
yeah
and
I
like
to
them
to
come
back
with
a
proposal
how
that
traffic
is
gonna,
be
maintained
or
how
it's
gonna
run
in
and
out
of
there.
But
when
you
got
the
winn-dixie
there
too,
you
can't
tell
me:
there's
not
going
to
be
more
traffic,
I'm
not
convinced
of
that
and
I'm
not
opposed
of
anything
being
developed.
A
C
A
Yeah,
I
know
so
so
wayne
will
let
us
kind
of
noodle
on
this
thing
and
we'll
come
back
and
and
what
I
would
like
you
know.
I
know
you
represent
a
lot
of
the
neighbors
in
that
little
area.
Maybe
we'll
do
is
have
you
and
and
the
applicant
and
pam
kind
of
sit
down
and
kind
of
figure
out.
You
know
between
now
and
the
next,
the
next
hearing
yeah.
AC
About
our
neighborhood,
you
know
we
care
about
our
neighborhood
and
we
just
don't
want
to
get
it
overrun
by
traffic
yep.
You
know,
and
you
know,
and
I
think
it
hurts
property
value
too.
So
if
you
ask
me
high,
dense
traffic.
B
A
M
But
if
I
can
ask
that
if
the
roadways
were
able
to
be
improved
and
that
flow
of
traffic
and
the
the
concern
about
the
the
danger
part
there
was
addressed,
would
there
be
more
of
an
openness
to
the
community?
Yes,.
AC
C
AC
AC
A
A
B
A
AC
AB
Something
that
we
can
do
with
that
see
how
much
right
away
we
have
and
see
whatever
other
improvements.
I
kind
of
have
this
feeling
that,
with
people
coming
in
and
out
of
winn-dixie,
it's
not
going
to
be
remain
that
favored
kind
of
cut-through
street
that
it
has
been
in
the
past.
It's
just
going
to
be
regular
people
going
in
and
out
of
winn-dixie,
but
that's
still
to
be,
you
know,
be
seen
as
traffic
increases
on
436
people
tend
to
deviate
to
other
places.
B
Well,
let
me
ask
also
when,
when
dixie
come
in,
will
their.
AB
AB
A
A
M
M
A
Yeah
yeah,
okay,
so
give
us
a
little
time
any
anybody
else
from
the
public.
Okay,
not
we'll
close
the
public
hearing.
Look

or
thereafter.
Staff
and
applicant
are
available
for
questions.
F
One
quick
question:
so
it's
the
ultimate
end
game
that
that
street
aid
that
goes
northbound
for
the
northbound
connectivity,
if
conceivably,
when
the
when
the
property
north
of
that
gets
sold
and
eventually
developed,
will
that
road
go
all
the
way
up
through
to
where
the
stub
out
is
at
publix.
Today,.
F
E
Yeah
exactly
there's
just
one
more
parcel
note
of
this
adjacent
that
is
we're
expecting
they'll
develop,
probably
sometime
soon.
Okay,.
F
And
then,
as
anything
what's
a
long-term
plan
for
joey
mcguckin.
J
F
AB
This
developer
is
designing
joey
mcguckin,
which
is
not
really
a
road
right
now,.
C
M
AB
I
can
get
him
to
do
it
a
little
further
to
the
riser
property
on
the
all
the
parcels
in
the
area,
the
parcel
to
the
south,
where
they'll
line
up
with
and
that
north-south
road,
which
it's
probably
going
to
get
shifted
a
little
bit
in
the
mdp.
It
will
go
straight
down
through
the
the
development
south
to
abbey
lane,
so
you're
going
to
have
a
a
straight
grid
there,
a
north-south
road
that
goes
that
length.
It
will
shift
over
and
then
go
all
the
way
up
to
public.
AB
So
it
will
take
some
traffic
off
joey
mcguckin.
Then
it's
it's!
The
opening
under
the
toll
road
and
the
rochelle
holdings
parcel,
which
is
that
200.
I
AB
That's
going
to
auction
next
week,
or
so
we've
told
the
auctioneer
and
anybody
else
that
asked
us
about
it:
they're
going
to
be
required
to
build
the
rest
of
the
road
through
their
property,
where
we'll
connect
at
golden
gem
and
connect
to
sadler
on
the
west
side
of
golden
gym,
and
the
two
developments
on
the
north
and
south
side
of
sadler
are
donating
right
away.
Okay,.
F
F
H
We
got
a
brochure
about
the
auction
which
I
could
forward
to
the
city.
A
A
If
not
we'll
close,
the

L
All
right,
good
afternoon,
mayor
commissioners,
members
of
public
sean,
william
fire
chief
on
january
11th
of
this
year,
the
orange
county
board
of
commissioners
adopted
the
latest
local
mitigation
strategy.
It's
done
every
five
years
and
this
extends
down
to
each
municipality
within
orange
county
and
it's
a
major
part
that
allows
us
to
apply
for
those
post-disaster
funds
through
the
hazard
mitigation
grant
program
through
fema
again.
L
A
C
AD
Vladimir
ortega,
finance
director
city
of
apopka,
this
resolution,
20
22.04.
It
relates
to
amending
a
hurricane
emr
reimbursement
that
we
received
in
2019
for
10
000.
Well,
the
the
funds
were
approximately
twenty
four
thousand
dollars,
and
these
we
received
a
letter
on
january
10,
2022
requesting
for
repayment
of
some
of
those
funds.
The
obligated
portion
related
to
alternative
project
business
incubator
from
fema.
I
am
going
to
have
chief
weiland,
explain
more
about
these
funds
and
they
were
related
to
2019,
so
they're
asking
just
for
a
portion
to
be
reimbursed.
10,
132
dollars.
L
Thank
you
good
afternoon
again,
sean
william
fire
chief,
basically
as
vladimir
was
stating
we
had
a
hurricane
roll
through
here
back
in
2017,
believe
it
or
not
we're
still
dealing
with
some
of
the
recovery
from
that
hurricane
irma
we'd
have
about
14
different
projects.
We
dealt
with
throughout
the
city.
L
One
of
the
buildings
that
was
in
existence
at
the
time
was
the
ucf
incubator
and
there
was
damages
sustained
to
that
building
in
the
amount
of
109
thousand
dollars
when
fema
came
out
and
did
their
assessment
throughout
the
years,
because
this
probably
it's
been
years,
we've
been
dealing
with
this.
Obviously
the
the
building
was
raised.
It's
no
longer
in
existence.
L
They
do
a
study
based
on,
even
though
we
don't
didn't
receive
any
insurance
monies
for
that
building,
they
do
an
assessment
of
what
we
approximately
would
have
received.
So
that
amount
was
around
84
000
that
they
think
we
would
have
received
through
insurance
for
that
building.
So
that's
what
drops
that
109
down
to
the
25
000
that
you
see
there
with
that
amount,
we
were
allowed
to
apply
for
an
alternate
project.
L
What
we
decided
to
do
beginning
with
public
services
back
back
in
2019,
was
to
put
in
place
some
lift
station
generators
for
for
sewage
lift
stations.
It's
part
of
the
mitigation
strategy
that
we
could
apply
towards
that.
L
L
They
just
now
got
back
to
us
is
how
long
this
is
kind
of
process
is
taking
that
one
of
these
sites
they
are
no
longer
approving.
So
there's
asking
us
one
of
the
things
that
happened,
because
I
knew
this
was
an
alternates
project
when
we
first
sent
it
over
to
finances.
I
earmarked
it
and
said:
do
not
spend
it
yet
because
it's
not
guaranteed
because
of
again
the
closeout
process.
That
fema
goes
through.
Look
for
some
of
that
stuff.
That's
kind
of
the
long
story
of
what
we
have
we've
gotten.
A
A
C
A
I
Other
than
you
know,
saturday
sounds
I'm
always
promoting
that,
and
and
just
wanted
to
kind
of
say
that
I
appreciate
that
you
know
I
read
an
article
this
morning
regarding
the
maitland
hotel
and
that
you
responded
to
it,
and
you
know
I
I
I
commend
you
for
you
know
with
the
migrant
workers
that
it
didn't
get
more
divisive
than
that
and
that
you
were
able
to
temper
that
that
that
the
demonstration.
I
So
you
know
I
was
happy
to
read
that
article
and
that
you
had
done
that.
M
Yeah
I'd
like
to
do
something
where
I
want
to
send
a
couple
emails
to
ed
that
you
can
pass
to
the
other
commissioners
again.
I
can't
do
that
on
my
own,
but
basically
again
dealing
with
the
reserve
policy
guideline,
and
this
is
directly
from
the
gfoa,
and
I
just
want
there
to
be
a
clear
understanding,
because
the
the
the
figures
are
thrown
out
consistently
about
the
16.7
percent.
M
M
I
just
I
kind
of
wanted.
You
know
everybody
to
get
an
understanding
of
why
it's
it's
more
important.
You
know,
there's
there's
three
key
reasons.
They
list
six
different
things
I
believe
in
the
article,
but
what
we
use
they
basically
say
the
16.7
is
the
starting
point
for
every
city.
Then
you
look
at
your
city
and
you
add
accordingly,
based
upon
your
situations,
whether
you
live
in
a
storm
zone
which,
again,
when
I
first
presented
this,
I
honestly
got
some
smurfs
not
by
anybody
here,
got
some
smirks
and
and
dissolution
within
a
year.
M
We'd
had
two
hurricanes
within
that
next
year
and
you
know,
but
that's
not
the
only
thing.
The
next
thing
that
again,
the
gfoa
says
you
need
to
look
at
is
things
that
we
cannot
control,
such
as
what
tallahassee
may
do,
changes
in
that
that
will
affect
our
bottom
line.
If
we
don't
have
that
there
then
we're
scrambling
and
the
last
place
we
need
to
dig
into
is
the
taxpayer
pockets?
That
is
something
that
we
all
have
to
bear
corporately.
M
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
do
that
as
a
knee-jerk
reaction,
because
we
weren't
prepared
and
the
third
thing
is
opportunities
and
if
you
don't
have
it
when
they
come,
then
you
can't
move
on
that.
I'm
not
suggesting
something
that
is
overage.
They
also
have
guidelines
to
not
doing
too
much
what
we
can
look
at
and
then
the
second
email
literally
gives
a
template
that
we
could
look
at
together
as
a
council
as
a
commission
and
say:
okay,
let's
fill
in
the
blanks
for
us.
M
M
So
if
I
can
I'd
like
to
pass
that
on
to
you
not
belabor
today,
but
I
think
it
would
just
give
a
clear
understanding
of
why
I
push
for
that
not
to
creating
particular
issues
but
again
so
that
we're
prepared
and
in
the
driver's
seat,
whether
it's
something
that
we
have
no
control
over
or
whether
it's
an
opportunity
that
comes
our
way.
That
puts
us
in
a
better
position.
So
I'm
allowed
to
do
that
correct
yeah!
So.
Y
Y
Going
to
print
them
out
and
then
hand,
you
can
hand
them
to
each
commissioner
and
discuss
them
because
they'll
be
discussed
and
will
be
handed
on
the
open
plus
there
will
be
a
record
contained
of
the
of
the
information
that
you
will
be
providing
okay.
I.
Y
M
It's
the
gfoa.
A
M
A
One
of
the
things
it's
interesting
to
bring
that
up.
I've
been
I've,
been
talking
to
edward
and
vladimir
here
in
the
last
week
or
so,
and
one
things
that
we
we
have,
commissioner
banks
in
is
we
have
cash
reserve.
Okay,
cash
is
cash,
but
when
you
sell
a
piece
of
property,
you
buy
a
piece
of
property
it
it's
either
reducing
reserve,
I
mean
because
you
could
have
a
reserve.
That's
that's
a
that's
a
non-liquid
asset
right.
You
know,
for
instance,
you
know
we
just
sold
some
property
at
the
town
center.
A
Well,
it
goes
into
the
into
our
reserves.
But
it's
kind
of
to
me
that's
funny
money,
because
it's
not
really
we
haven't.
We
haven't
saved
that
money.
We
just
you
know
transferred
it
from
one
to
exactly
and
sandpiper
will
be
another
one.
We
sell
that
we
sold,
you
know
the
airport
property.
So
what
I've
asked
vladimir
to
help
me
with
and
edward,
is
to
have
a
cash
balance.
C
A
Then
you
could
have
adjustments,
we're
we're
looking,
hopefully
buying
some
property
for
for
public
works
to
do
some
additional
retention.
So
if
we
buy
that
property,
then
it's
a
different
reserve.
It's
it's.
E
A
But
and
then
we've
got,
you
know
some
other
things,
but
it's
just
nice
to
have
a
it's
a
better
picture
than
just
cash.
You
know
if
you're,
if
you're
buying
or
selling
property,
then
just
having
straight
cash
reserves,
so
I
I've
asked
them
to
help
me
with
that,
and
I
think
my
next
committee,
our
next
commission,
meanwhile
kind
of
show
you
what
I'm
talking
about,
but
we
can
also
then
discuss
what
you
know.
Your
your
the
geo
goff.
M
And
and
one
other
point
as
well
is
our
bond
rating
and
we
have
an
excellent
bond
rating.
We
want
to
keep
that
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that
they
mention
of,
why
you
don't
just
skim
there,
but
it
gives
if
you
don't
read
the
whole
document.
It
gives
the
impression
that
this
is
the
recommendation,
the
the
two
months,
that's
the
foundation
to
build
upon,
and
so
I
just
want
to
get
that
to
everyone.
M
I
think
if
everyone
has
a
chance
to
parse
through
that
they're
like
okay,
I
see
that
and
again
we
don't
have
to
be
like
everybody
else.
We
do
what
works
for
us.
We
don't
want
our
hands
tied,
but
at
the
same
time
we
just
want
to
be
prepared
for,
what's
coming
so
I'll
I'll,
get
those
prepared
for
next
time
and
I'll
present
it
there
also
thank
you.
B
All
right,
well,
commissioner,
benson
we're
on
the
same
page
as
far
as
the
reserves
are
concerned,
I
think
you've
heard
me
mention
several
times.
I
thought
it
would
be
at
25,
so
we're
on
the
same
page.
B
Secondly,
in
reference
to
the
presentation
that
mr
dontren
presented
in
reference
to
the
legacy
education
center,
james
mcknight
came
to
me,
he
was
a
resident
of
apopka
former
nfl
player
and
said
he
had
some
some
ideas
as
to
how
we
can
help
to
improve
our
community
through
educational
process,
and
he
had
been
a
part
of
the
legacy
education
center
in
virginia,
and
so
he
and
I
we
had
a
conversation
and
exchanged
ideas,
and
so
I
think
we
came
together
with
the
same
conclusion
that
this
would
be
an
ideal
project.
B
H
B
Having
this
kind
of
a
program
here
in
the
city
of
apopka
and
there's
a
lot
of
excitement
that
generated
from
that,
and
so
as
a
result
of
that,
then
we
invited
mr
duncan
to
come
from
virginia
to
come
and
meet
with
us,
and
we
did
that
on
last
night
and
so
at
our
meeting
last
night,
it
was
so
much
enthusiasm
and
positive
reinforcement
that
this
was
the
right
direction
to
go
in,
and
so
we
agreed
that
we
would
bring
this
legacy
education
center
to
to
apopka
and
be
that
pilot
here
in
the
state
of
florida,
an
outstanding
program
post-secondary,
as
well
as
offering
ged
for
those
students
that
fell
through
the
crack,
maybe
even
finish
high
school,
with
a
certificate
of
completion
rather
than
a
diploma.
B
So
I
was
all
win-win
and
there
was
a
couple
individuals
that
was
a
part
of
the
committee
on
last
night
that
even
saw
some
streams
of
money
that
would
be
possible
to
come
and
support
the
project
as
well.
And
so
I
I
cautioned
them
and
said.
Well,
you
know
I
need
to
finish
before
city
council
before
it
gets
out
that
this
is
what
we
are
doing,
and
so
that's
why
we
asked
mr
duncan
if
he
would
remain
overnight
and
come
today
and
speak
to
the
council.
B
So
it's
a
win-win
project,
one
that
we
think
is
going
to
be
of
a
great
benefit
to
our
city
and
to
our
residents-
and
you
know,
I'm
a
former
educator,
so
I'm
big
on
education-
and
I
just
want
to
see
the
the
climate
of
our
community
improve
and
prepare
for
that
workforce
that
we're
talking
about
this
coming,
so
that
we
can
attract
the
best
and
the
brightest
companies
that
come
to
our
city,
because
we
have
the
workforce
that
they
would
need
in
order
for
them
to
maintain
their
businesses
here
in
the
city
of
apopka.
B
So
so
that's
what
it
was.
It
was
just
finalized,
like
I
said
on
last
night
that
that
was
the
consensus
of
the
committee.
This
was
something
that
we
wanted
to
do
and
thought
would
be
a
benefit
to
our
to
our
city.
And
so
you
know
we
have
this
sunshine
thing.
So
we
can't
talk
to
one
another,
and
so
that's
why
sometimes
things
only
come
up
here
at.
C
B
Council
meeting,
so
we
love
for
your
support
and
endorsement
of
this
activity
and,
like
you
said
that,
once
we
we're
proving.
A
Well
well,
commissioner,
smith,
and
you
know
that
I
sit
on
the
career
source,
the
state
board.
So
that's
you
know,
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
goes
through
that
state
board.
So
what
I'd
love
to
do
is
if,
if
I
could
sit
down
with
your
your
your
guys
and
and
obviously
you
can't
do
it
together,
but
let
me
see
if,
if
they've
got
enough
enough
of
a
track
record
in
virginia
that
there's
there's
an
opportunity
there
career
source
to
maybe
get
some
additional
funding.
You
know
we
do
the
summer
program
that
comes
from
career
source.
A
B
Well,
we're
going
to
meet
again
on
february,
15th
and
I'll
salute
myself
and
I
won't
attend
and
I
will
have
them
to
extend
to
you
an
invitation,
okay
and
and
and
so
like.
I
said
this
was
something
that
was
you
know.
I
brought
forth
them
because
it
was
an
excellent
idea
and
be
a
great
benefit
to
the
city.
So.
A
Definitely
keep
me,
you
know,
keep
me
posted
on
that.
I
would
love
to
show
up
and
then
I
would
even
probably
maybe
try
to
zoom
in
somebody
from
tallahassee
about
the
program
and
try
to
get
their
their
input.
I
think
I've
got
a
like
a
meeting
next
week,
the
following
week
with
the
state,
my
state
board
of
commerce
or
so
all
right.
B
That'd
be
awesome,
and-
and
of
course
you
know,
this
is
black
history
month,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
we
shine
and
we
highlight
all
the
great
attributes
and
contributions
of
our
african-american
community
and
of
course,
we
always
want
to
always
remember,
commissioner
alonzo
williams-
that
was
the
first
elected
african
american
to
this
city
council.
So
we're
just
so
grateful
for
all
those
things
and
and
I'll
be
going
to
tallahassee
next
week
on
behalf
of
the
florida
league
of
cities,
as
advocacy
for
perfect
for
our
city.
F
I
share
commissioner
smith's
ideas
and
joining
our
residents
as
we
celebrate
black
history
month
and
also
to
our
chinese
rest,
our
residents
that
celebrated
the
happy
new
year
yesterday
as
well.
So
with
that,
that's
it.
A
Okay,
edward.
D
So
this
is
the
financial
update,
very
positive
news,
we're
going
in
the
right
direction.
Hopefully
we
will
stay
in
this
direction,
but
you
can
see
from
your
handout
that
for
january,
of
course,
this
is
january's
collection
or
january's
when
we
receive
the
money,
so
we
receive
them
in
january
for
november.
D
You
can
see
this
just
over
a
million
dollars
or
43
more
than
it
was
last
year
this
same
month,
so
big
difference
there
and
if
you
look
over
to
the
right,
you
can
see
that
we
are
100
and
about
179
000
above
the
budget
or
over
budget.
Where
we
currently
stand
now
keep
in
mind.
This
is
just
a
three
three-month
period.
I
mean
a
four-month
period
and
it
averages
as
we
move
through,
but
this
is
good
positive
news
that
we're
meeting
at
least
meeting
or
exceeding
the
the
state's
numbers.
Y
Brief
item,
I
think
it
was.
It
was
briefly
mentioned
earlier
in
the
council
meeting,
but
on
friday
we
did
close
another
parcel
of
the
city
center
assemblage
of
parcels,
so
that
closing
was
terminated.
I
believe
I
believe
we've
got
one
left
in
order
to
complete
the
closing
four
the
eye.
The
parcel
that
was
closed
is
the
one
of
the.
I
think
it's
the
middle
part,
so
it
constitutes
a
middle
parcel
with
inside
the
city
center
complex,
so
that
was
completed
on
friday.
Y
Also,
I'm
just
going
to
make
this
quite
brief,
but
I'm
sure
I'll
get
rid
for
it
later,
but
in
addition
to
today
being
groundhog's
day
today
was
also
a
national
signing
day,
and
I
just
want
to
put
on
the
record.
My
son
signed
his
letter
of
intent
to
play
baseball
at
keystone
college
in
factoryville
pennsylvania.
Y
They
had
a
ceremony
at
delane
high
school
this
morning
for
him
to
sign
his
ncaa
papers
and
a
month
from
today
I
can't
say
whether
or
not
but
whether
or
not
he
may
or
may
not
take
the
mound,
because
the
deland
bulldogs
are
coming
down
to
play
the
apopka
at
blue
darters.
On
march,
2nd
at,
I
believe,
7
pm
on
the
baseball
diamond
so
I'll
be
rushing
from
that
council
meeting
to
make
it
to
the
stands
in
time
to
see
whether
or
not
he
pitches
that
day.
Y
He
won't
know
he's
he's
been
right
for
now
he's
insulated
in
long
relief,
because
they're
basically
beginning
to
to
groom
him
he's
he's
expected
already
as
a
freshman
in
college
to
be
a
a
long,
reliever
first
arm
out
of
the
bullpen
so
for
his
senior
year,
they're
kind
of
beginning
to
get
him
into
that
mode
so
that
he
just
kind
of
transitions
straight
into
that
into
into
college
all
right
awesome.
So,
aside
from
that,
that's
it.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
right,
mayor's
report.
Just
won't,
let
you
know
hb1431,
it's
a
it's
a
bill
for
it's
a
restaurant
bill
as
I
call
it
and
we've
we
partnered
with
the
city
of
orlando
and
city
of
of
of
edgewood.
To
so
all
three
of
us
have
a
bill
exactly
identical
in
what
they
do
and
what
it
does
for
people
don't
realize.
A
You
know,
restaurants,
if
you,
if
you're
under
150
seats,
if
you
want
to
have
alcohol
as
in
liquor,
you
have
to
have,
you
have
to
buy
a
license,
and
these
licenses
go
for
north
of
a
hundred
thousand
dollars,
and
I
was
talking
to
francisco
the
restaurant,
maybe
he's
looking
to
come
to
town
center,
and
he
said
you
know
yeah,
you
can
buy
it
for
north
of
100
000
or
you
can
lease
it
get
this
lease
a
license
for
eighteen
hundred
to
two
thousand
dollars
a
month.
A
It
it's
crazy!
So,
anyway,
we
you
know,
we
found
out
that
that
orlando
was
was
doing
this
bill,
so
we
wanted
to
piggyback
on
it.
So,
basically,
what
it
does
is
it
drops
the
the
requirements
of
2
500
square
feet
and
seating
of
150
people,
so
anything
above
that
you
don't
have
to
get
this.
This
hundred
thousand
dollar
plus
license.
A
So
what
we've
done
is
this
this
this
the
bill
we're
filing
1431,
we'll
reduce
that
down
to
1800
square
feet
and
80
people
as
long
as
51
percent
of
sales
are
food,
so
it
it's
and
I,
when
I
told
francisco
I
said,
hey,
you
know
we
got
this
bill
up
there.
He
says
oh
gosh,
so
we
we
can't
afford
to
sell
alcohol
at
our
our
store
in
our
restaurant
in
maitland,
because
we
can't
afford
that
license.
A
I
said
well
how
about
this,
and
he
says
man
that
that
that's
that's
a
game
changer
for
us,
so
real
excited.
You
know
tomorrow
at
I'm
not
sure
what
time
the
second
committee
of
reference
is
called.
The
regulatory
reform
subcommittee
will
be
meeting
and
that
that
bill
will
be
up
on
the
agenda.
It
passed
out
of
the
local
delegation
meeting
unanimous
and
it
passed
out
of
the
first
committee,
which
is
where
I
was
last
week.
Unanimous
so
really
excited
about
that
that
bill,
which
would,
I
think,
give
us
a
lot
of
opportunities
now.
A
A
A
lot
easier
to
justify
that
we're
getting
this
this
license
for
those
small
restaurants
within
our
cra,
which
is
obviously
the
the
area
of
critical
importance
for
us
to
move
forward.
I
really
feel
good
about
this
bill,
and
so
hopefully
that
will
get
through
the
next
committee
on
tomorrow.
The
regulatory
reform
subcommittee.
A
Next
up
just
want
to
let
you
know
I
know
chief's
run
around
chief
mckinley
is
running
around.
We
we've
had
a
couple
of
meetings
with
orange
county,
we're
looking
at
some
additional
cameras
being
put
up
around
you
know.
Orange
county
wants
some
some
additional
surveillance
cameras
and
so
a
great
partnership,
joe
carter.
You
know
the
the
captain
for
our
sector
and
chief
mckinley,
and
I
and
and
rob
hippler
we've
all
you
know
kind
of
teamed
up
together
and
we
don't
care
who
whose
cameras
they
are.
A
We
just
want
the
cameras
there
to
to
be
able
to
help
us.
You
know
solve
crimes,
and
so
a
great
partnership
duke
energy
stepped
in
and
said.
Listen,
you
know
we
we
can.
We
can
wave
some
rules,
let's,
if
that's
what
you
really
need,
we'll
we'll
make
that
happen.
So
real
real,
real
happy
with
that,
the
partnership
we
have
there
and
then
I
guess
last
and
but
not
least,
certainly
not
least,
is
well
excuse
me
covered
numbers.
Just
this
is
kind
of
an
interesting
numbers.
A
You
know
we
we
were
down
almost
we're
down
to
like
four
percent
positivity
rate.
We
were
at
one
point
about
four
weeks
ago
we
were
at
40
positivity
rate
and
we're
now
back
we're
trending
down
we're
about.
I
think
14,
but
still
you
know
so
we'll
we'll
we'll
determine
here
relatively
soon
about
when
we
want
to
reopen
city
hall.
But
you
know
the
the
rates
or
the
positivity
rates
going
in
the
right
direction,
so
feel
pretty
good
about
that.
A
So,
last
but
not
least
for
sure
the
we've
got
the
groundbreaking
tomorrow
at
the
city,
town
center
for
starbucks
and
the
food
hall,
so
it
will
be
at
11
o'clock,
there's
a
there's
a
little
cement
pad
right.
If
you
come
off
mcgee
on
the
left,
so
love
to
have
everybody
come
out.
Chamber
of
commerce
has
got
a
big
press
release
out
there
so
come
on
out.
I
think
we'll
do
a
little
reception
at
the
hotel,
so
that'll
be
11
o'clock
at
the
at
the
in
front
of
the
hilton
garden.
