A
B
You

as
a
nation
and
as
a
city,
we
ask

as
we

We
thank

as
we
celebrate
and
honor
the
service
for
this
city
with
commissioner
becker
lord,
we
just
ask
you
to
remember
all
those
in
the
ukraine
as

up
before
you

a
good

We
give

jesus
name.
B
Fact
of
the
day
on
april
19
1775
in
the
early
morning,
700
british
troops
were
on
a
mission
to
capture
patriot
leaders
and
seize
a
patriot
arsenal.
The
british
marched
into
into
lexicon
massachusetts
to
find
77
armed
minutemen
under
captain
john
parker
waiting
for
them
on
the
town's
common
green
british
major
john
pitcairn
ordered
the
outnumbered
patriots
to
disperse,
as
they
did
so.
A
shot
was
fired
from
an
undetermined
gun
and
a
cloud
of
musket
smoke
soon
covered
the
green.
B
A
E
E
A
All
opposed
motion
carries
unanimously.
Next
up
got
a
proclamation,
we've
done.
We
guess
we
skipped
last
year
due
to
covid,
but
a
good
friend
of
mine
always
great
to
have
him
here
in
apopka
the
denim
day
proclamation,
and
I
want
to
read
that
and
then
I'll
have
I'll.
Have
him
come
up?
Louis
dooyami
come
up
and
give
you
a
few
words.
A
So
the
proclamation
reads,
whereas
the
month
of
april
is
national
sexual
assault
awareness
month,
calling
attention
to
the
fact
that
a
sexual
assault
and
harassment
is
widespread
and
harms
our
community.
And
whereas
every
two
minutes,
someone
in
america
is
sexually
assaulted
and
approximately
one
in
six
women
and
one
in
33.
Men
are
sexually
assaulted
during
their
lifetime
and
about
81
percent
of
women
and
43
of
men.
A
A
F
Mayor,
I
really
appreciate
you
taking
the
opportunity
to
to
bring
some
some
recognition
to
dinner
today
and
commissioners.
I
appreciate
you
indulging
us
for
just
a
minute
here
as
well.
Again,
I'm
louis
damiani,
I'm
the
executive
director
here
of
the
victim
service
center.
I
was
actually
back
here
talking
to
my
friend
chief
mckinley,
who
was
a
member
of
our
board
of
directors
of
the
victim
service
center.
F
When
I,
when
I
first
took
over
that
role
about
nine
years
ago,
I
we
have
been
in
business
for
nearly
23
years
here
in
central
florida,
providing
help
and
healing
to
victims
of
violent
crime,
sexual
assault
and
other
kinds
of
traumatic
circumstances.
We
operate
a
24-hour
helpline,
that's
staffed
by
master's
level
counselors,
and
we
also
provide
in-person
crisis
intervention
services,
victim
advocacy
therapy.
We
do
prevention
work
as
well.
We
are
the
only
certified
rape
crisis
center
in
all
of
central
florida.
F
By
way
of
example,
last
year
we
did
emergency
response
and
forensic
exams
for
375
sexual
assault
victims.
We
answered
2005
hotline
calls,
we
conducted
2500
therapy
sessions
and
we
helped
over
4
200
additional
clients
and
best
of
all
all
of
those
services
were
provided
absolutely
free
to
our
clients.
F
Activity
throughout
the
course
of
the
month
to
try
to
draw
attention
to
sexual
violence
here
in
our
community,
and
one
of
those
activities
is
denim
day.
I'm
honored
to
be
with
you
here.
You
know
in
recognition
of
denim
day,
and
I
hope
that
you
all
join
in
with
us
on
the
27th
and
and
wear
your
denim
proudly
and
stand
in
solidarity
with
victims
and
survivors
here
in
our
community
participation
in
denim
day
by
the
way
is
absolutely
free.
It's
open
to
anyone
to
participate
and
we
have
enlisted
governments,
schools,
businesses,
individual
citizens.
F
Every
year
we
get
more
and
more
champions.
Just
like
you
all
this
year
it
includes
orange
county
seminole,
county
osceola
county
is
just
down
there.
The
other
night,
picking
up
proclamation,
the
orange
county
school
board
will
proclaim
it
on
tuesday
as
well.
Bcc,
the
city
of
kissimmee
and,
of
course,
you
all
and
then
a
whole
myriad
of
other
businesses.
It's
super
super
easy
to
participate.
F
F
You
know
nine
years
ago,
when
I
took
this
role,
I
couldn't
get
anybody
to
even
dream
of
letting
me
come
in
front
of
you
and
talk
about
this
stuff,
but
through
a
series
of
circumstances,
and
because
people
like
you
have
have
said
you
know
we're
not
gonna,
take
it
anymore.
We're
gonna,
stand
up
and
we're
gonna
stand
in
solidarity.
Now
we
have
a
movement
here
really
in
central
florida,
and
I
applaud
you
for
being
sort
of
on
the
front
end
of
that,
and
you
know
mayor
nelson
you're,
always
the
first
one.
F
F
F
If
you
just
start
typing
in
the
word
victim,
we
are
the
number
one
google
search
will
pop
right
to
the
top
and
super
easy
to
to
find
us.
But
once
again
I
I
appreciate
the
time.
I
appreciate
the
platform
to
be
able
to
talk
about
this
and-
and
you
know
certainly
appreciate
being
here
with
you
this
evening,
so
thank
you
so
much
and.
H
A
J
Hi,
thank
you.
I'm
susan
davis,
st
john's
river,
water
management
district.
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you,
the
commission
commissioners
for
doing
this
water
conservation
proclamation
april's
almost
over,
but
every
day's
conservation
is
water
conservation
day.
I
know
that
the
city
of
apopka
has
a
very
robust
water
conservation
program.
J
We
I,
my
water
conservation
coordinator,
states
that
all
the
time,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you
all
know
that
that
how
wonderful
your
program
is-
and
we
really
appreciate
the
robust
partnership
that
we
have
with
the
city
of
apopka,
on,
as
you
said,
the
reclaimed
water
projects
also
at
the
septic
conversion
that
we
also
partner
with.
So
we
really
want
to
thank
you
for
that
and
continue
that
partnership,
and
so
thank
you.
A
Yeah
we
couldn't
do
all
the
projects
without
st
john's
water
management.
You
know
being
our
partner.
I
mean
you
just
think
about
the
the
pond
we
have
now
in
golden
gym
will
hold
350
million
gallons,
and
so,
as
they
say
in
florida,
it's
not.
You
know
the
quantity
of
water,
it's
where.
Where
do
you
store
it?
Because
you,
you
know,
there's
the
june
july
august,
when
you
get
all
the
rains,
if
you
don't
have
anywhere
to
store
it,
you
can't
have
it
in
april
when
you
need
it.
A
So,
without
the
partnership
and
and
the
the
funding
you've
helped
us
with
those.
You
know
some
of
these
major
projects.
I
don't
know
we
could
have
gotten
it
done.
So
we
we
really
reach
out
to
st
john's,
and
thank
you
for
for
all
all
your
support
in
in
the
programs
that
we're
we're
trying
to
put
together.
Oh.
A
K
I
am
happy
to
announce
this
evening
that
the
city
of
apopka
received
the
runner-up
award
and
will
be
placed
in
the
plaque
we
received
on
the
wall
at
our
jack
g
grossenbacher
water
plant.
I
would
like
to
give
a
big
shout
out
to
the
skilled
and
dedicated
men
and
women
state
licensed
operators
that
we
have
here
at
the
city
of
apopka
who
operate
five
water
plants
on
a
day-to-day
basis
with
integrity
and
professionalism,
and
we
have
our
little
plaque
that
we're
proud
of
that's
awesome.
A
L
Again,
obviously,
we
know
the
importance
of
training
in
the
fire
service,
it's
something
that
is
near
and
dear
to
my
heart,
it's
near
and
dear
to
our
department's
heart.
That's
something!
We've
had
a
strong
foundation
with
for
a
long
time.
The
apopka
fire
department
is
an
all
hazards,
fire
department.
In
other
words,
we
respond
to
anything
that
911
is
called
on.
Hazmat
related
situations,
vehicle
entrapments,
not
just
those
fires
themselves,
an
important
part
of
training.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
replicate
realistic
situations
in
a
safe
environment.
L
We
identify
what
we
train
on
basically,
but
what
we
call
high
risk,
low
frequency
events,
those
events
that
happen
not
that
often,
but
are
higher
risk
things.
You
might
think
about
fires
they
happen
sure.
But
what
happens
when,
when
a
fire
involves
a
chemical
that
we
can't
spray
water
at
those
are
situations
we
like
to
identify
and
look
at
when
we're
looking
at
some
of
our
training,
the
education
part
is
important.
We
can
go
out
and
get
that
we
can
get
educated
and
we
get.
L
The
training
aspect
provides
that
experience
when
that
comes
together
that
education
and
experience
equals
that
true
knowledge.
So
you
can
see
why
it's
so
important,
like
I
said
before,
it's
been
important
to
the
foundation
of
our
department
for
a
long
time.
Leoria
f
gillam
was
a
chief
of
ours
who
had
a
great
emphasis
on
training.
In
fact,
that's
what
our
trains
who
our
training
center
is
named
after
some
of
the
stuff
I
actually
found
you
see.
There
is
the
article
when
the
gillom
center
opened
august,
22nd
1982,
proud
to
announce.
L
This
is
going
to
be
our
40th
year
this
year,
coming
up
of
the
existence
of
the
guillem
training
center.
So
it's
been
around
a
long
time
it
actually,
as
you
can
see
in
the
picture
there,
it's
our
steady
clinic
now
it
actually
was
originally
was
located
there
right
across
the
street
from
the
fire
station.
L
You
can
see
some
of
the
leftover
remnants
there's
the
lights,
though
stadium
lights,
still
there,
our
drafting
pit's
still
there,
but
pretty
neat
to
see
to
talk
about
the
future.
It's
important
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
where
we
came
from.
So
that's
pretty
neat
pictures
you
got
there
after
that,
we
started
adding
different
components
to
our,
not
just
the
training
center.
L
When
I
first
started,
we
actually
rented
a
training
tower
to
come
out
and
we
anytime,
we
did
our
physical
agilities
or
any
of
our
high-rise
type
exercises
we'd
rent
the
tower.
Eventually
we
were
able
to
purchase
the
one
you
see
there.
It
currently
sits
at
station
five
to
replicate
some
of
that
stuff.
Well,
2004.
We
actually
purchased
a
live
fire
training
replicator
as
well,
and
all
these
will
it'll
make
sense,
while
I'm
getting
into
all
this
stuff
for
some
of
the
requirements
coming
up.
L
L
So
again,
we've
come
a
long
ways.
Certainly
in
2009
we
moved
to
our
current
location
added.
Our
four-story
training
structures
has
two
burn:
burn
rooms
inside
the
structure
and
something
we're
very
proud
of
iso.
Of
course,
that's
a
big
driving
force
for
us
and
at
the
apopka
fire
department,
and
also
you
know,
nationwide
it's
it's
it's
a
great
tool
to
reach
for
it's,
basically,
our
model
or
template
for
our
training
requirements
and
you'll
see.
L
This
is
a
list
of
annual
training
requirements,
they're
required
for
every
firefighter
throughout
the
year
for
iso
company
training
facility,
training
hazmat.
If
you're
an
officer,
there's
officer
requirement,
if
you're
an
existing
driver,
basically
you're
a
leaf
driver
or
someone
who
can
drive
the
truck.
You
have
to
have
at
least
24
hours
of
training
as
well.
A
new
driver
is
anyone.
Who's
new
has
to
have
60
hours
that
first
year,
that's
also
part
of
an
osha
requirement
for
them
some
of
that
stuff,
but
that
facility
training
that's
a
key
component
of
our
training
center.
L
L
Something
was
our
requirements
must
be
conducted
with
on
within
these
facilities,
leeward
gillum
training
center
or
the
florida
state,
fire
college,
seminole,
state
and
lake
tech.
Those
are
also
approved
facility
training
hours.
So
if
a
firefighter
goes
and
takes
the
class
at
one
of
those
facilities,
they
can
actually
get
credit
for
that
as
well.
L
Because
of
our
move
down
to
321
east
cleveland
street,
and
so
many
other
things
we're
actually
now
considered
a
straight
excuse
me
state
training
facility.
You
can
see
it
down
there
where
the
city
of
apopka
is
an
accepted
place
where
we
can
provide
training
at
a
state
level.
We
can
actually
get
state
credit
for
the
classes
we
offer
and
things
like
that.
L
L
So
it's
all
nfpa
requirements,
but
because
of
this,
we're
able
to
offer
all
these
courses
all
these
classes
that
we've
taught
throughout
the
years
we've
had
a
lot
of
our
current
officers,
our
current
drivers,
our
current
upcoming
district
chiefs
or
current
district
chiefs.
A
lot
of
these
certifications.
We're
allowed
to
provide
right
here
in
our
own
in
our
own
training
facility,
which
is
pretty
neat.
L
So
you
can
see
all
the
requirements
for
fire
officer,
one
fire
officer
ii
inspector
one
incident
safety
officer,
which
I
was
proud
to
be
one
of
the
first
rollouts
of
that
program.
When
it
was
offered,
we
were
able
to
go
to
state
fire
college,
get
a
couple
of
our
instructors
certified
and
bring
it
back
here
and
actually
offer
it
to
our
people
years
ago,
instructor
one
as
well
instructor
two
and
three
pump
operator.
That's
something
we
actually
did
recently
in
this
past
year
believe
it
believe
it
or
not.
L
With
a
lot
of
the
covert
thing
was
you
again?
I
want
to
identify
where,
where
our
need
is,
where
we're
trying
to
match
some
of
this,
some
of
our
needs
of
our
people
and
providing
that
that
growth
for
our
people
and
one
of
the
things
we
never
really
had
or
offered
was
pump
operator
for
driving
the
trucks
concentrate
a
lot
on
fire
officer
related
courses.
But
last
year
we
were
able
to
take
care
of
that
truck
ops
and
aerial
ops.
L
L
Some
of
our
miscellaneous
quarters
and
our
collaborative
courses
firefighter
survival,
something
one
of
our
lieutenant
sean
knapp
went
all
the
way
to
indianapolis
on
his
own
got
certified
to
teach
this
course
came
back.
He
taught
it
to
our
people
first,
but
now
any
new
recruit
we
have
come
through.
We
actually
send
them
through
this
course,
and
it's
not
easy.
It's
it
teaches
them
all
about
self-survival
and
things
like
that.
L
So
I'll
talk
about
some
of
the
partnerships
we
have
with
other
departments
that
did
take
place
in
that
winter
garden,
being
one
of
the
factors
so
so
deputy
chief
for
winner
garden
fire
department
right
there,
so
vmr,
ops
and
rope
ops
as
well.
These
are
courses
that
we
were
able
to
offer
here
are
some
of
the
pictures
of
some
of
the
departments
have
been
out
with
us?
That's
winter
parks
tower.
We
did
a
trench
rescue
course
years
ago.
We
were
able
to
provide
that
as
well.
L
L
I
think
I
was
into
that
one
most
current
one
we
did
actually
was
the
truck
ops
course.
I
was
mentioning
this.
We
partnered
with
maitland
fire
department
and
by
night
you
can
see
our
connex
box
prop
that
we
just
finished
building
allows
us
to
replicate
different
situations,
but
basically
we
can
beat
it
up
without
without
really
wrecking
the
actual
building.
We
have
so
something
we're
very
proud
of,
and
something
we're
looking
forward
to
moving
forward
that
in
the
future,
beyond
just
our
region.
L
One
thing
we're
also
proud
of
is
being
able
to
extend
beyond
that.
With
the
help
of
armando
borja
scholarship.
We've
we've
gone
out
to,
I
guess
at
mount
or
claremont
you'll,
see
oviedo.
Different
fire
departments
have
really
utilized
our
training
facility
and
it's
something
that
we're
proud
of
to
share
that
pasco
county
saint
augustine.
As
far
as
we
have
even
had
firefighters
out
of
state
come
when
we
offer
some
of
these
classes,
we
had
to
check
some
of
the
rules
and
see
how
it
crossed
mingles,
and
things
like
that.
L
You
can
see
there's
one
of
our
big
pictures
of
a
bunch
of
us
valencia
college.
We
were
able
to
partner
with
them
in
2019,
we
signed
an
mou
with
them
as
a
satellite
facility,
so
we
are
actually
a
satellite
facility
for
valencia
college
and
that's
one
of
the
things
they're
trying
to
beef
up
is
their
program
right
now,
and
some
of
the
things
with
that.
L
Currently
because
of
our
location,
I've
been
reached
out.
I've
been
had
other
chiefs
reach
out
to
me
about
opportunities
for
utilizing
our
training
facility
on
a
more
formal
basis.
First,
one
being
maitland
fire
department.
They
actually
signed
an
inter-local
agreement.
If
you
remember
back
in
august
of
last
year
to
utilize
our
facility
that,
basically
on
a
again
more
formal
location,
other
other
places,
winter
gardens
talked
about
it.
L
Ocoee
is
definitely
very
interested
in
what
we're
trying
to
do
so,
it's
it's
important
again
and
what
we
have
to
operate
under
for
those
types
of
requirements
is
1402
nfpa
standard
on
facilities
and
props
you're,
going
to
notice
in
red
there.
It
says
certified
personnel
so
currently,
right
now,
we
are
allowed
to
train
and
host
any
training
for
a
certified
firefighter.
L
What
we
are
trying
to
look
at
doing
is
creating
our
training
facility
to
become
a
recruit
training
facility.
There
is
a
long,
long
list
of
requirements
that
it
takes
for
that,
and
it
sounds
funny
because
well
we
have
a
training
center.
We
have
all
these
things
in
place.
There's
certain
things
that
have
to
take
place
and
standards
have
to
be
met
before
we
can
even
apply
to
become
this.
So
next
few
slides,
you'll,
see
anything
in
red
is
things
that
we
do
not
have?
L
Currently,
I'm
not
going
to
boy
thought
of
it,
but
our
window
sills
are
correct
height.
We
have,
you
know,
closed
shutters
things
like
that
interior.
We
have
an
interior
stairwell
connecting
all
floors.
What
we
don't
have
and
his
requirement
to
be
a
recruit
facility,
is
an
exterior
stairwell
made
of
masonry.
Construction
has
to
touch
each
floor.
L
L
L
Things
we'd
have
to
get
again.
The
student
ratio
comes
becomes
a
little
bit
different
when
we're
actually
training
recruits.
Now
it's
a
four
to
one
ratio
with
everything,
including
number
of
extinguishers:
dry
chem,
carbon
dioxide,
pressurized
water
source,
those
have
to
be
purchased,
so
a
normal
recruit
class
is
an
average
of
20..
So
we
would
have
to
have
five
of
each
of
these
extinguishers
dedicated
just
to
that
current
training
ground,
that's
something
we
can't
take
in
and
out
of
service
and
things
like
that.
It
has
to
be
dedicated
down
there.
L
Big
one
is:
we
have
to
have
a
dedicated
pumper
or
fire
truck
dedicated
to
the
fire
ground.
The
last
one
I
just
literally
just
got
the
quote
for
the
upcoming
year,
eight
hundred
and
eleven
thousand
dollars
for
a
new
pumper
again.
We
would
obviously
move
one
of
the
older
trucks
down
there,
but
this
is
something
we
would
have
to
replace
because
again
something
has
to
be
dedicated
down
to
that
fire
department.
With
all
these
tools
listed,
you
see
there
and
it
has
to
meet
the
standard
for
nfpa
1901.
L
It
has
to
be
tested
annually,
which
we
take
care
of.
In
house-
but
this
is
part
of
the
part
of
the
pumper
requirements,
any
of
the
ladders
which
there
are
certain
ladder
requirements
as
far
as
ratios
as
well,
have
to
meet
the
specific
standard
and
dedicated
to
the
to
that
training
facility,
specifically
forcible
entry
drill
facilities,
and
it's
and
again
we
we
create
a
lot
of
this
stuff,
we're
very
fortunate.
We
have
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
men
and
women
are
very
dedicated.
They
build
props
on
a
constant
basis.
L
You
know
it's
very
something
I'm
very
excited
about,
but
in
order
to
go
to
the
next
level
to
train
recruits,
we
need
stuff,
that's
very
durable,
almost
commercially
made
type
stuff.
So
a
lot
of
this
you
know
we
talk
about
yeah,
we
can
create
it,
but
to
have
something
that
was
going
to
last.
For
us.
We
need
to
make
sure
it's
done
right,
salvage
equipment
things
like
that.
Again,
all
this
dedicated
specifically
for
that
training
facility,
all
the
tools
that
go
with
all
that
stuff,
too
scba's.
L
We
have
to
have
dedicated
air
packs
one
for
every
four
students
with
sufficient
spare
cylinders,
refill
capabilities,
that's
a
big
one.
At
the
facility
we
have
a
cascade
system
at
station.
One
currently
we'd
have
to
have
a
dedicated
cascade
system
again
we're
talking
pretty
substantial
amount
and
the
live
fire
component.
L
Obviously
we
know
that
we
have
our
training
training
towers
with
the
two
burn
rooms
flammable
liquid,
which
is
something
we've
started
to
take
care
of
with
some
of
our
natural
gas
capabilities
down
down
the
training
center,
liquid
or
petroleum
gas
fire
training
and
shut
off
valves
and
automobile
fire
training.
This
is
a
picture
of
the
the
natural
gas
we
put
in
a
few
years
ago.
We
were
still
trying
to
get
with
lake
apopka
to
finish
off
and
get
us
a
meter.
L
Left
hand
corner
is
one
of
the
stub
outs
or
one
of
the
parts
that
comes
up
where
we
can
add
our
certain
crop,
so
we
can
add
what
we
call
a
christmas
tree
or
a
car
fire
prop
something
that
can
go
in
there
that
we
can
create
down.
We
can
control
it
safely
from
that
place.
You
saw
before
right
now.
I
said
we're
just
waiting
on
the
meter,
but
we're
on
our
way.
L
Rough
estimate
1.5
to
2
million
dollars
is
what
would
probably
take
to
get
us
to
where
we
need
to
be
to
offer
a
facility
like
this
again
funding
sources
that
we're
looking
at
potentially
grants
that
are
out
there
state
appropriations,
something
you
know
that
we're
really
looking
heavily
into
again
lofty
goals,
but
definitely
doable
goals.
I
think
it
would
provide
an
awesome
opportunity
for
our
department
for
our
city
and
really
for
the
region
to
to
provide
some
of
this
training.
I
L
This
is
a
30
000
foot
view.
We
have
a
lot,
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of
need,
that's
coming
around
very
recently
as
far
as
on
a
regional
basis.
So
it's
something
you
know
that
we're
we
have
a
gem.
We
really
do
we're
so
lucky
that
we
have
the
training
facility.
We
do,
and
you
know,
we've
had
great
partnerships
with
people
and
we
really
want
to.
You
know,
keep
that
continuing
and
really
as
a
recruitment
tool.
L
A
A
You
know
that
if
we
could,
you
know,
get
a
grant
get
half
that
paid,
for
it
would
give
us
a
better
pipeline
for
for
new
recruits
and
so
we're
going
to
work
hard
to
see
if
we
can't
get
some
money
and
if
we
get
you
know
a
50
percent
grant
than
something
I
want
to
bring
back
to
council
and
see
if
we
can't
pull
the
trigger
on
it.
So
thank
you
chief
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
H
H
H
Also
over
the
last
decade,
the
city
has
only
utilized
a
very
small
percentage
of
the
collected
funds,
so
the
bulk
of
the
presentation
is
about
in
order
to
modernize
the
city's
stormwater
program.
The
stormwater
fee
also
needs
to
be
modernized
to
provide
the
resources
to
not
only
to
clean
and
inspect
the
stormwater.
H
G
H
Not
only
to
clean,
inspect
and
repair
and
replace
the
improvements
to
the
the
stormwater
system,
but
also
to
implement
water
quality
improvements
like
the
dream
lake
nutrient
separating
baffle
box.
I'll
tell
you
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
But
what
that
does
is
that
that
improves
the
water
quality
of
not
only
dream
lake,
but
all
of
the
downstream
lakes
that
it's
connected
to
and
even
the
wakaiba
river
in
the
exhibit
there
in
the
in
the
bottom
left
hand,
corner.
H
There's
a
there's:
a
label
for
the
dream
lake
nutrient
separating
baffle
box.
It
also
has
a
bold
and
gold
upflow
filter,
and
so
the
purpose
of
that
baffle
box
on
the
north
shore
of
dream
lake
is
to
trap
all
of
the
the
leaves
and
other
debris
dirt
and
the
storm
water
before
it
gets
into
the
dream.
Lake,
then
also
that
nutrient-separating
baffle
box
includes
an
up-flow
filter
which
reduces
the
nitrogen
and
phosphorus
of
the
discharge
to
the
lake,
so
the
nitrogen
and
phosphorus.
That's
the
bad
stuff.
H
H
So
I
just
wanted
to
talk
through
some
of
the
blue
arrows
on
the
map,
I'm
starting
down
in
the
bottom
left-hand
corner
there
with
with
dream
lake,
so
the
water
from
dream
lake
is
treated
in
the
baffle
block
box
goes
into
dream
lake.
It
flows
under
park
avenue
in
a
storm
water
pipe
and
then
through
an
open,
ditch
there
at
apopka
middle
school
next
to
challenger
park.
H
H
But
during
wet
years
the
water
will
flow
through
lake
corona
and
then
through
the
the
wekiva
woods
subdivision
through
other
pipes
and
channels,
then
under
welch
road
and
then
the
storm
water
gets
into
the
bukkiva
state
park
and
eventually
gets
into
the
wekiva
river.
So
our
nutrient-separating
baffle
box
not
only
helps
stream
lake,
but
it
helps
the
water
quality
and
all
these
other
connected
lakes
all
the
way
to
the
wekiva
river.
H
Okay,
so
the
modernized
stormwater
feed
that
ralph
tillis
is
going
to
going
to
show
us
it's
going
to
help
us
to
do
more
than
just
maintain
the
stormwater
system.
There's
also
a
very
wide
variety
of
things
that
the
state
and
the
federal
government
requires
us
to
do
to
make
sure
that
the
storm
water
stays
clean
throughout
the
city
street
sweeping
is
one
of
those
things,
a
proactive
inspection
of
illicit
discharge
dumping
into
the
storm
water
system
we
need
to
have.
H
We
need
to
improve
the
mapping
and
the
database
tracking
of
our
stormwater
system,
and
then
we
need
things
like
routine
inspection
of
high-risk
facilities
and
a
public
outreach
program
to
train
the
public
about
these
things.
So
there's
a
whole
lot
of
things.
The
state
and
federal
government
requires
that
the
city
do,
and
so
so,
with
that
I'll
hand
it
over
to
henry
thomas
for
the
bulk
of
the
presentation
with
ralph
tillis
welcome
henry.
P
So
the
agenda
tonight
I'm
going
to
talk
to
you
about
what
our
goals
were
at
the
outset.
A
big
issue
with
respect
to
stormwater
is
the
level
of
service
that
you're,
providing
with
respect
to
particularly
to
inspection
and
maintenance
and
betterments
of
the
system,
the
dreamlake
project
being
an
example
of
a
betterment
project.
P
We're
going
to
talk
about
the
revenue
requirements
projected
over
the
next
five
years
and
then
a
pro
and
then
we're
going
to
talk
about
stormwater
rate
structures
and
our
proposed
rates.
So
one
of
the
things
that
we'll
talk
about
tonight
as
well
is
you
currently
bill
for
stormwater
is
a
non-ad
valorem
assessment.
P
It
requires
a
first
class
notice,
mailer
to
every
property,
and
so
again
you
know
just
like
we
do
in
water
and
wastewater
rates.
We
we
project
out
and
we
set
the
rates
for
a
few
years
forward.
That's
a
little
more
difficult
to
do
because
of
the
assessment
billing
process,
but
the
key
to
it
is
you
you
can
set
a
maximum.
You
don't
have
to
build
of
that
maximum,
then,
with
the
understanding
that
we
would
phase
over
five
years
to
those
maximum
rates,
you
wouldn't
have
to
have
four
more
public
hearings
to
accomplish
that.
P
P
Of
course,
you
haven't
accumulated
lots
of
revenues
and
made
lots
of
expenditures
to
date
on
stormwater
betterments,
but
in
the
future,
you'll
need
to
and
we're
seeing
more
and
more
systems.
We
we
just
went
through
the
city
of
tampa
they've
issued
over
200
million
dollars
in
stormwater
bonds,
revenue
bonds.
Recently
right
now,
I'm
working
with
the
city
of
orlando.
They
just
last
year
allocated
35
million
dollars
in
geo
bonds
to
the
to
the
stormwater
department.
P
So
to
accomplish
these
projects,
many
systems
now
are
having
to
look
at
lending
our
borrowing
opportunities
and
obviously
the
state
revolving
loan
program
like
it
is
with
the
wastewater
storm.
Water
lending
rates
are
very,
very
reasonable,
less
than
one
percent,
so
it
makes
it
makes
sense
to
fund
those
major
projects
using
that.
But
let
me
get
into
the
details:
we're
gonna
again
review
your
program,
a
little
bit
talk
about
the
funding
needs
and
the
proposed
rates
to
meet
them.
P
P
You
can
see
that
the
25
a
year
for
for
a
single
family
residential
home
in
apopka
is
just
over
two
dollars
about
two
dollars
and
eight
cents
a
month,
and
then
what
we've
done
in
this
comparison
is
we've
tried
to
keep
it
fairly.
Local
we've
got
other
communities
that
are
surrounding
us.
You
know,
including
mount
dora.
Ocoee
altamonte
springs
as
you
can
see.
We
didn't
go
into
a
lot
of
coastal
communities
because
they
have
different
issues
with
respect
to
sea
level
rise
down
in
south
east
florida.
P
We're
doing
a
lot
of
this
work
in
southeast
florida
these
days
and
their
storm
water
rates
are
going
to
be
very
high
as
they
tackle
and
address
those
issues
with
regard
to
sea
level
rise.
So
again,
this
is
kind
of
a
local
comparison,
and
what
it
demonstrates
to
me
is
that
you
know
these
other
systems
are
making
efforts
to
do
the
the
level
of
service.
P
So,
with
respect
to
stormwater,
there's
really
two
two
big
issues
that
are
dealt
with
through
the
regulations:
one
are
quantity,
related
or
drainage,
asset
related
issues
and
the
main
requirements
are
associated
with
the
inspection
and
maintenance
of
the
stormwater
functions.
So
for
each
of
the
various
stormwater
functions,
a
street
sweeping
inlet
maintenance,
you
they
have
a
schedule
where
you're
supposed
to
periodically
inspect
and
maintain
and
touch
these
assets
and
make
sure
they're
working
properly.
P
P
You
know
we're
seeing
quite
a
few
communities
that
are
eliminating
septics,
for
example,
to
improve
groundwater
quality
and
obviously
the
stormwater
system
has
a
lot
to
offer
in
terms
of
maintaining
that
water
quality
if
it's
done
properly,
so
the
assets
that
you
comprise
the
city's
stormwater
system,
and-
and
it's
really,
you
know-
I've
been
doing
utility
rates
for
a
long
time-
storm
water,
while
intuitively
it's
not
a
service
that
you
have
a
meter
and
a
tap
you
turn
on
and
off.
It
is
a
pretty
complicated
system.
P
A
lot
of
it
is
out
of
sight,
so
you
don't
necessarily
appreciate
what's
there,
but
it
consists
of
pipes
and
culverts.
In
your
case,
you've
got
quite
a
bit
of
aged
pipe.
That's
going
to
need
replacement
replacement
and
relining
you've
got
ditches
and
swales
that
have
to
be
cleaned
and
maintained
on
an
ongoing
basis.
Inlets.
This
is
where
the
runoff
in
the
streets
in
the
in
the
curbs
are,
are
running
into
the
system
into
the
piping
system,
and
they
they
have
to
be
kept
cleaned
out
to
work
properly.
P
P
So
your
current
program,
based
upon
my
my
findings
today,
is
that
your
program
right
now,
is
what
I
would
refer
to
as
a
reactive
maintenance
program.
So
if
I
was
an
engineer-
and
I
was
giving
you
a
grade
on
that-
I
would
say
you
want
to
move
beyond
reactive
maintenance.
Obviously
we
can
never
eliminate
flooding
totally,
that's
something
we
have
to
be
careful
about
with
the
public
to
they.
P
We
can't
expect
to
spend
money
and
the
flooding
goes
away
because
it's
hard
to
overcome
mother
nature,
but
we
can
mitigate
it
and
we
can
make
it
where,
after
the
event,
you
return
to
normal
much
more
quickly
if
the
storm
water
system
is
operating
properly
and
is
designed
properly.
So
we
want
to
right
now
we're
basically
reacting
to
problems
as
they
occur
there
we
are
talking
about.
You
know,
inventories,
condition,
assessments,
master
plans,
so
we
want
to
move
towards
a
more
proactive
pro
program.
P
You
right
now
you
are
inventorying
your
drainage
system,
assets,
you've
got
pollution,
control
projects
that
are
ongoing.
Those
are
mainly
street
sweeping.
So
that's
a
big,
a
big
issue
in
storm
water
maintenance
is,
if
you
keep
the
streets
clean,
it
keeps
the
debris
out
of
the
inlets
and
out
of
the
piping
system
and
finally,
as
we
move
forward,
we're
going
to
begin
finding
more
betterment
projects,
more
renewal
and
replacement
projects
for
existing
assets
and,
to
date
that's
been
fairly
limited
in
the
amount
of
that
effort.
That's
been
undertaken
so
the
program
itself.
P
As
mr
said,
you
wish
to
modernize
your
stormwater
program
and
basically
the
program.
Is
that
all
the
tasks
that
the
city
undertakes
to
maintain
the
drainage
infrastructure
based
on
desired
service
levels
and
meeting
at
least
minimum
regulatory
requirements
prevent
pollution,
pollutant
discharge
and
enforce
you're,
basically
within
the
community?
P
You
as
part
of
the
program,
you
do
have
a
stormwater
ordinance
that,
as
mr
pence
has
been
in
place
for
quite
some
time,
it
gives
you
the
governance
and
establishes
the
the
the
definitions
and
determinations
of
how
the
stormwater
system
is
supposed
to
operate
and
be
paid
for.
You've
got
a
storm
water
fee.
Based
upon
my
findings.
P
M
P
H
Is
a
this
is
a
one
of
the
rusted
stormwater
pipes.
This
pipe
actually
runs
from
first
street
under
the
west
orange
trail
over
to
the
fran
carlton
center.
So
what
we
did
was
we
lined
the
inside
of
that
pipe
to
keep
the
sidewalk
above
it
from
collapsing
and
and
holes
forming
also
at
the
fran
carlton
center.
This
pipe
runs
through
the
parking
lot
and
near
the
corner
of
the
the
building
there
at
the
frank
carlton
center.
H
P
Again,
a
lot
of
this
is
the
original
facilities
that
were
put
in
many
years
ago
and
require
require
reinvestment
to
keep
them
viable.
So
this
is
just
an
example
of
an
inlet
that
is
going
to
require
some
reconstruction.
You
can
see
that
the
concrete
is
collapsing
in
on
that
inlet.
This
is
another
one.
That's
almost
completely
collapsed,
so
part
of
this
program
will
be
to
identify
inspect
all
the
assets
on
an
ongoing
basis,
identify
these
problems
and
then
get
folks
out
to
to
fix
them.
P
So
this
is
a
detention
pond,
a
dry,
a
dry
detention
pond,
and
so
this
is
the
kind
of
stuff
that
your
staff
has
to
get
out
there
and
clean
up
ahead
of
the
rainy
seasons.
This
is
just
another
dry
detention,
pond
that
you're
responsible
for
maintaining,
so
there's
a
lot
of
work
associated
with
storm
water
maintenance
and
maintaining
the
level
of
service
and
as
far
as
major
policy
decisions,
the
level
of
service
is
a
key
one.
P
So
one
is:
the
regulations
are
going
to
require
you
to
increase
your
inspection
and
maintenance
activities
in
order
to
do
that,
it
will
require
increased
staffing,
but
many
communities
that
I
I've
worked
with,
and
I've
been
doing
rates
now
in
florida
for
40
years.
I've
probably
done
more
storm
rate
studies
in
the
last
five
years
than
I
did
in
the
35
years.
P
Prior
to
that,
so
it's
becoming
a
much
bigger
issue
for
communities
as
the
regulatory
requirements
increase
communities
are
having
to
develop
them,
but
a
lot
of
communities
are
setting
standards
that
even
go
beyond
the
regulatory
standards
because
of
the
desire
of
the
community,
for
example
with
respect
to
ditches
and
swale
maintenance.
You
know
if
your
swale's
not
being
maintained.
People
aren't
necessarily
happy
with
that.
So
a
lot
of
communities
are
looking
carefully
at
these
level
of
service
issues
and
that's
certainly
a
major
policy
decision.
P
P
This
is
generally,
both
methods
are
in
place.
I
will
say
that
utility
billing
is
more
common
for
municipal
systems,
whereas
assessments
are
more
common
for
counties,
but
the
city
of
orlando,
for
example,
they
bill
all
their
stormwater
as
an
annual
assessment.
So
it's
not
unusual
for
cities
to
use
it.
There's
a
lot
of
advantages.
P
I've
had
a
number
of
clients
that
wanted
to
go
from
utility
billing
to
assessment.
I've
not
had
anybody
that
wants
to
go
from
the
assessment
approach
back
to
utility
billing.
Obviously
collections
is
an
issue
when
you
put
it
on
the
utility
bill,
so
then
another
policy
decision-
and
that's
these
last
two-
are
the
main
things
we
want
to
talk
about.
Are
the
revenue
requirements
and
funding
levels
and
then
the
rate
classes
and
rate
structures
that
we
use
to
collect
the
funds
to
recover
our
stormwater
costs.
P
So
when
we
talk
about
level
of
service,
even
though
what
we
we
have
a
a
a
methodology,
a
rate
methodology
that
I'll
talk
about
more
where
we
determine
what
an
equivalent
drainage
unit
is,
and
that's
really
the
impervious
area
or
the
amount
on
the
property
that
won't
allow
water
to
percolate
through
to
to
the
groundwater
system.
That
impervious
area
is,
is
usually
the
defined
drainage
unit
for,
and
so
we
do,
that
for
a
single
family
home,
but
that
so
that's
going
to
set
the
cost
for
various
properties.
P
But
it's
the
overall
level
of
service
that
you
choose
to
put
in
place
through
your
budgetary
process.
That'll
drive
the
program
cost
itself
and
the
current
los
does
not
is
not
going
to
allow
you
to
continue
to
meet
regulatory
standards.
So
it's
not
adequate.
We
need
to
at
least
meet
those
minimum
regulatory
standards.
P
We
need
more
frequent
inspections
of
assets,
more
frequent
maintenance,
pipe
replacement
and
relining
drainage
system
rehab
and
replacement.
That's
those
inlets
and
and
fringe
drains.
For
example,
we
have
to
manage.
They
require
us
to
manage
issues
related
to
illicit
discharge
and
for
certain
customers,
high
risk
inspections
to
make
sure
that
their
properties
are
in
compliance
and
then
there's
also
requirements
for
you
to
do
some
public
outreach
and
public
education
over
time.
P
P
So
these
are
the
the
the
act,
the
assets
that
drive
the
activities
associated
with
that
storm
water
level
of
service
and
keep
in
mind
with
the
way
you're
growing
and
are
going
to
grow.
This
is
going
to
keep
getting
bigger,
we're
going
to
have
more
infrastructure
to
have
to
deal
with
in
the
future
than
we
do
today.
P
So
the
benefits
of
enhancing
the
level
of
service
relate
to
public
safety
improvements,
water
quality
and
pollution,
reductions,
reductions
in
flooding
and
erosion,
improvements
to
both
private
and
public
property
protection,
transportation,
enhancements
and
reduced
disruption
to
life
and
business
activities
after
a
stormwater
event.
So,
like
I
said,
we
have
to
be
careful
that
we
don't
want
to
create
expectation
that
we
can
resolve
these
to
100
level
of
satisfaction.
P
So
with
respect
to
the
higher
level
of
service,
what
we're
really
talking
about
going
from
reactive
to
proactive
again,
I've
described
your
existing
los
as
reactive.
We
we
start
with
inventory
and
mapping.
So
we
know
what
we've
got
out
there.
We
then
look
at
in
more
detail
at
the
age
and
condition
of
the
assets.
P
Then
we
start
implementing
proactive
maintenance.
Once
we
once
we
have
the
mapping
inventory
and
condition
assessment,
we
can
better
determine
how
to
spend
the
money
on
maintenance.
So
that's
really
one
of
the
early
things
we
need
to
do.
Then
we
move
into
more
proactive
maintenance
and
start
identifying
improvements
and
betterments
in
the
system
that
we
can
do
from
the
capital
side.
P
Part
of
that
is
annual
water
quality
testing
that
you
do
for
lake
mccoy
dream,
lake
lake
page
and
lake
marshall.
So
you
do
annual
testing
on
the
water
and
you're
looking
at
those
nitrogen
and
phosphorus
levels
in
those
lake
bodies,
so
with
respect
to
increasing
the
level
of
service
and
looking
at
the
revenue
requirements
that
would
be
associated
with
that,
we
really
have
operations
and
maintenance
expenses.
P
We've
got
our
capital
improvement
program
and
we're
going
to
recommend
that
you
look
at
some
srf
loans
for
your
major
capital
projects
that
have
been
been
identified
and
then
pay
as
you
go.
Funding
for
recurring
capital
needs.
This
is
something
that
again
we
talk
about
it
on
the
water
wastewater
utility
side.
P
Mr
earp
had
indicated
that
while
you
had
been
collecting
stormwater
fees,
you
weren't
spending
a
lot
of
it.
You
had
some
fairly
significant
cash
reserves
and,
in
the
last
couple
years,
you've
actually
balanced
your
budget
using
those
reserves
and
currently
based
on
the
fy
22
budget,
which
was
adopted.
The
fees
don't
even
cover
your
operating
expenses.
So
so
we
had
to
rely
on
fund
balance
to
balance
that
out,
so
we're
going
to
make
sure
over
time
we
maintain
adequate
cash
reserves
going
forward.
P
Some
recent
major
expenditures
that
you
did
pay
as
you
go
include
a
new
vac
truck
sheila
roach
drainage
improvements,
the
dream
lake
baffle
box
project,
the
fran
carlton
slip
liner.
Those
are
again
frank.
Carlton
would
be
a
a
great
example
of
how
we're
protecting
our
public
property
by
improving
that
pipe,
so
that
it
doesn't
damage
other
structures
on
that
property,
but
just
a
real
quick
that
you
know
we
we
accounted
for
some
inflation.
P
Given
the
current
environment.
We
may
be
a
little
shy
on
this,
at
least
for
the
next
year,
but
over
five
years
we've
got
labor
costs
going
up
at
three
percent
a
year
benefits
at
five
health
insurance
at
10..
These
are
comparable
to
current
escalations,
fuel
electricity
5
and
in
taking
into
account
the
amount
of
revenues
we're
going
to
collect.
We
are
anticipating
a
growth
in
customer
billing
of
about
two
percent
a
year
new
customers
which
helps
provide
more
revenue
for
the
system.
P
The
additional
personnel
requirements
on
top
of
the
three
percent
wage
increases
are
a
stormwater
ms4
permit
coordinator,
a
inspector
and
gis
analyst
they'll
be
very
helpful
in
maintaining
accurate
billing
records
and
then
you've
got
two
maintenance
workers,
a
maintenance
worker
one
and
two.
The
total
cost
of
those
four
employees,
including
benefits,
is
just
under
370
000
a
year.
P
So
this
is
the
capital
improvement
program
over
five
years.
We've
got
it.
We,
the
the
the
bottom
of
the
chart
in
the
brighter
blue,
is
the
is
the
pay.
As
you
go
funding
you
can
see.
That
was
fairly
significant
in
the
22
budget
and
then
the
lighter
blue
are
the
projects
that
we
will
accumulate
and
fund
recommend
funding
through
an
srf.
P
The
issue
here
is:
if
we
tried
to
fund
that
that
level
of
funding
that
we
have
program
for
debt,
now
pay
as
you
go.
If
we
didn't
issue
debt
we'd
be
looking
at
much
higher
storm
water
rates
and
just
to
fold
that
five-year
annual
plan
into
a
funding
plan
to
look
at
the
sources
we've
got
about
7.5
million
or
60
percent
of
it
funded
through
proposed
debt
and
another
5
million,
or
roughly
over
time
about
a
million
a
year
from
rate
revenues
or
or
40
of
the
plan.
E
P
E
P
So
so
let
me
say
this:
if
we're
going
to
implement
this
in
fy
23,
we
have
to
send
out
fairly
shortly
a
proposed
notice
and
it
doesn't
have
to
be
an
adopted
number.
But
we
have
to.
We
have
to
do
a
first-class
mailing
so
that,
when
we
have
hearings
in
june
on
these
issues
that
the
public
is
aware
of
what
it's
going
to
do
to
their
particular
bill,
sure
we're
looking
for
we're
looking
for
you
to
give
us
approval
to
go
forward.
P
And
we're
not
asking
you
to
vote
so,
but
but
okay,
we
want
you
to
be
as
informed
as
possible.
Okay,
so
this
just
shows
the
projected
stormwater
revenue
requirements,
including
the
operating
expenses,
capital,
funding
from
rates
deposits
to
renewals
and
replacements,
and
debt
service
payments,
and
the
black
dash
line
represents
the
current
rate
level.
So
you
can
see
in
2022
the
fees
didn't
even
recover
your
budgeted
operating
expenses
in
2022.,
so
stormwater
fee
rate
structure
considerations.
P
We
need
to
be
fair
and
equitable
if
we
need
it
to
be
administratively
feasible
right.
Now,
your
customer
classes,
which
we
are
going
to
recommend
maintaining,
are
single-family
residential,
non-residential,
commercial
agriculture
and
vacant.
Agriculture
actually
has
two
two
separate
issues:
one
is
agricultural
land
with
buildings
and
agricultural
vacant
land,
so
an
equivalent
drainage
unit,
and
this
is
a
key
factor
in
this
study.
P
Your
current
ordinance
calls
a
an
equivalent
drainage
unit,
2634
square
feet
of
impervious
area,
and
that's
supposed
to
be
the
sing,
the
typical
single
family
home
again.
That
number
is
fairly
dated.
It's
it's
well
over
14
years
old
we
know
and
when
we
we
went
out,
we
sampled
a
thousand
randomly
sampled,
a
thousand
residential
properties,
and
we
did
digitization
using
ariel
and
came
up
with
the
current
number
and
today
the
median
number
is
3
600
square
feet.
P
Obviously,
in
recent
years,
homes
have
been
built
that
are
larger
and
it's
increasing
the
residential
square
foot,
so
the
3
600
square
foot.
This
is
just
a
property
that
is
is
right
at
the
average
and
it
shows
you
based
upon
the
property.
The
the
shaded
areas
are
what
are
deemed
to
be
the
impervious
area
surfaces.
P
You
take
the
measured
impervious
area
on
the
parcel,
because,
again
the
science
says
impervious
area
is
what
generates
the
runoff
typically
is
most
strongly
associated
with
it,
and
so
it's
considered
an
equitable
way
to
distribute
stormwater
management
costs.
80
percent
of
the
stormwater
utilities
in
florida
build
with
the
impervious
area,
including
the
city
of
apopka.
P
They
get
would
be
billed
for
10
drainage
units,
a
larger
property
with
144
000
square
feet
of
impervious
area
would
equal
40
edus,
and
when
you
see
how
the
rate
structure
works,
you'll
see
why
that
matters
so
again
we're
looking
for
a
dedicated
and
sufficient
funding
source.
That's
collectible,
easy
to
administer
and
equitable
and
defensible
so.
E
I
P
P
I
Saying
to
ed
bass
a
while
back
that
if
we
have
a
presentation,
that's
more
than
a
half
an
hour
long,
we
should
have
it
before
a
council
meeting
in
a
type
of
a
workshop
so
that
we
can
have
the
presentation
and
actually
have
a
kind
of
a
discussion
right
now.
It's
just
you
giving
us
all
this
information.
P
P
If
you
look
at
the
flat
rates
right
now
again,
apopka
existing
rates.
Far
on
the
left-hand
side,
the
2023
rate
increase
that
we
would
ask
you
to
adopt
is
the
next
bar
up.
Then
the
2027
rate
after
five
years
is
the
the
the
fourth
one,
the
fifth
one
over
and,
as
you
can
see,
even
after
four
more
years
of
increases,
you
would
still
be
among
the
lowest
in
the
area.
Okay,
now
that's.
If
we
have
one
edu.
E
Please,
mr
stewart,
that
the
rates
mean
nothing
if
we
can't
relate
it
to
the
level
of
service
on
your
previous
slides.
It
means
it
means
nothing
like
whether
or
not
we're
the
lowest
or
it
plateaus,
or
it
looks
great
on
a
graph
unless
we
can
anchor
it
to
a
level
of
service
improvement.
It's
doing
this
to
this
level
of
piping.
All
these
things,
this
this
presentation
is
meaningless.
E
We
need
to
have
the
infra,
I
don't
know
how
else
to
say
it.
I
would
recommend
that
we
close
this
presentation
out.
We
should
have
access
to
this
so
that
we
can
study
it
and
understand
what
we're
even
looking
at,
so
that
we're
having
an
open
dialogue
when
you're
doing
this
presentation
versus
hearing
this
thing
that
out
of
proper
context,
I
don't
think
any
of
us
would
be
able
to
make
a
decision
based
off
of
what
we're
seeing
here.
I
hear
I
have
a
fan.
B
E
P
A
I
M
I
So
we
have
no
way
of
having
anyone
communicate
anything
to
us.
So
when
I
saw
the
presentation
again
for
me,
it's
a
15,
20
minute
presentation.
This
has
gone
really
almost
45
minutes
and
I
I
really
I
don't
have
the
this
in
front
of
me
and
it's
not
an
open
discussion
where
we
ask
a
question.
It
seems
like
you're,
just
feeding
us
all
this
information
so.
M
I
R
C
S
R
R
R
All
of
us
celebrates
juneteenth,
and
so
I
know
that
we're
trying
to
include
diversity
in
our
city
and
bringing
things
together
so
we're
here
today
we
had
our
second
annual
juneteen
freedom
day
celebration
on
last
year,
but
we
want
to
support
from
the
city.
So
first
we're
thanking
you
in
advance
for
your
support,
so
so
we're
gonna
just
show
real,
quick,
ten
slides
of
what
we
some
of
the
things
that
happened
on
last
year.
R
R
We
had
local
the
rappers,
we
had
kids
dancing,
we
had
apopka
historic
display.
We
had
dance
lessons.
We
had
all
kinds
of
vendors
there.
It
was
a
great
event.
We
had
the
apopka
historical
society,
francina
boykin.
Most
of
you
know
her.
She
was
there
giving
out
information
about
the
history
of
apopka.
R
We
had
our
orange
county
sheriff
there
along
with
lanes
girls,
so
chief
mckinley
and
mr
wiggins
officer
wiggins.
We
want
our
city
of
apopka
police
there
supporting
us
on
this
year
and
we
so
we
had
different
things
going
on.
We
had
the
orange
county,
sheriff's
books
and
badges
program.
They
were
giving
away
books.
Commissioner
smith
donated
100
100
worth
of
books
to
us
where
we
gave
them
out
to
the
different
students.
That
came
because
we
need
to
really
promote
reading
in
our
community
with
our
children.
R
This
is
another
books
where
the
orange
county
sheriff
was
there
and
there
was
face
painting.
Given
the
kids
beats,
we
had
snow
cone
machines,
we
had
kids
dancing,
it
was
a
great
affair.
We
didn't
have
any
problems.
We
also
had
the
minority
leadership
scholars
from
apopka
high
school.
That
was
there
doing
face
painting
snow
cones,
giving
out
hot
free
food
to
the
kids.
So
there
we
had
the
dance
we
had
dancers
from
local
and
central
florida
dance
groups.
R
This
is
our
committee,
some
of
the
committee
members
were
there
and
some
of
our
committee
is
here.
If
you
withstand
some
of
the
committee
for
our
juneteenth
all
right.
Thank
you
so
much,
and
so
we
had
all
of
our
sponsors
on
there
and
we
want
to
have
city
of
apopka
logo
on
our
sponsor
sheet,
because
we
want
you
to
be
a
huge
participant
in
this,
so
our
this
one
for
this
year
will
be
on
june
18
2022
from
1
to
7
p.m.
So
save
the
day,
gonna
be
free.
R
Food,
historical
facts,
live
music,
spoken,
word,
dance,
team
bike
show
many
things
happening
right
here
in
the
city
of
apopka,
because
I
know
mayor
you
want
us
to
be
diverse
and
inclusive
in
our
city,
and
so
this
is
our
first
event.
It's
our
president,
keomi
jones.
It's
going
to
be
at
lonzo
williams
park.
Carolyn
ray.
Has
our
application
already
she's
figuring
up
our
fees,
because
so
we
will
have
police
officers
there
on
duty,
so
chief
mckinley
give
us
a
break.
R
N
N
U
U
You
may
not
realize
how
many
people
in
apopka
appreciate
you
sure
we
didn't
come
to
many
or
any
city
council
meetings,
sure
we
didn't
write
any
emails
to
our
council
representatives
on
important
city
matters
and
sure
we
called
out
those
same
city,
council
representatives
on
social
media
on
all
those
important
matters,
but
kyle
you
showed
up.
You
showed
up
again
and
again
faithfully
every
wednesday
and
to
all
those
additional
workshops.
U
C
U
I
met
you
six
years
ago
for
breakfast
at
apopka's
infamous
chuckwagon,
along
with
another
apopka
friend.
It
was
at
your
invitation
to
sit
down,
break
bread
and
listen
to
just
a
simple
citizen's
thoughts
on
this
town.
What
was
good,
what
was
bad
and
what
could
be
done?
Better,
never
have
I
felt
more
heard
and
included
than
at
this
simple
morning
meal.
U
U
U
D
D
I've
been
for
two
months
trying
to
get
public
work
out
in
mod
helen
trying
to
get
them
to
sweep
the
streets,
but
it's
falling
on
deaf
ears
with
that
said,
it'll
take
care
of
itself.
Hopefully
maybe
I
have
to
sweep
them,
but
to
commissioner
becker,
I've
known
you
now
for
about
six
years
and
you
always
had
an
open
door
open
there
and
you
always
was
fair,
no
matter
what
the
topic
was,
how
hard
it
was
or
how
easy
it
was
you
listen
you
never
let
nobody
make
a
decision
for
you.
D
V
Rob
olson
3156,
rolling
hills,
lane
apopka
mayor
commissioners.
Thank
you
for
all.
You
do
just
a
brief
comment
on
the
guardian
of
the
flame
law
enforcement
torch
run.
I
was
able
to
participate
in
yesterday
what
a
remarkable
and
flawless
execution,
by
jason,
wiggins
and
and
by
steve
harmon
and
pulling
that
off.
It
was
unbelievable.
There
had
to
be
what
two
three
hundred
runners,
at
least
plus
other
law
enforcement
officers,
to
make
sure
it
went
off.
V
V
Next,
I
want
to
address
you,
commissioner
becker.
Although
we've
not
always
agreed
on
items,
you've
always
had
an
ear.
You
always
listened.
We
didn't
always
agree
in
the
end,
but
that's
fine.
You
always
do
your
homework.
Your
detailed
comments
and
questions
clearly
identified.
Not
only
do
you
review
the
material
you
go
to
the
site
and
talk
to
the
people
and
find
out
what's
going
on,
you
have
always
been
an
advocate
for
a
thoroughly
planned
smart,
measured
growth
while
ensuring
that
there
would
be
infrastructure
to
support
it.
V
I
call
it
getting
in
front
of
the
curve.
Your
decisions
were
always
thoroughly
vetted
and
fact-based.
You
can't
ask
for
more
than
elected
official,
it's
been
an
honor
and
a
privilege
to
work
with
you.
I
wish
you
the
very
best
look
forward
to
your
continued
involvement
with
the
city
in
whatever
capacity
you
choose
to
do
it.
So.
Thank
you
very
much,
commissioner.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
V
And
I
also
want
to-
I
also
want
to
address
nick
nesta.
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
nick
in
the
past
year
and
a
couple
of
projects.
I
should
say,
commissioner,
elect
nesta.
I
know
he's
up
for
the
he's
up
for
the
task
and
I
think
we're
going
to
really
be
pleased
with
what
we
see
and
I
still
have
time
left.
Don't
I
no
yeah
cut
me
off
all
right,
I'm
good!
No,
I'm
still
a
believer
and
I'm
not
going
to
let
go
of
this
bone.
We
as
a
city
should
be
assuming
this.
V
W
W
W
W
The
role
of
public
service
and
being
a
commissioner
is
not
an
easy
one.
I
know,
but
you
did
it
well.
You
didn't
flow
with
the
majority
just
because
it
would
appease
people.
You
asked
the
tough
questions
and
made
your
own
decisions
based
on
the
data
and
research
you
spent
countless
hours
on
you.
Did
it
your
way
as
a
citizen
of
apopka.
W
O
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
commissioners,
I'll
be
very
brief
and
my
one
sheet
is
going
to
be
cut
in
half.
Okay,
with
the
comments.
Thank
you
for
the
the
chance
to
speak
before
you
today.
I
will
be
brief,
kyle
becker,
thank
you
for
your
service.
I
know
everybody
is
ganging
up
on
you
to
some
degree
tonight,
but
it's
it's
it's
worthy
and
everybody
feels
glad
about
your
community
service
that
you
provided
to
this
community.
So
may
those
that
follow
you
following
your
footsteps
and
I
think,
will
be
a
better
community
for
it.
O
My
name
is
gary
mcsweeney
and
I'm
the
vice
president
of
rock
springs
ridge,
homeowners,
association,
the
board
of
directors,
I'm
here
today
to
officially
inform
the
city
that
a
letter
of
intent
was
signed
yesterday,
defining
our
intentions
to
transact
51
acres
of
kelly
park.
Road
lands
owned
by
rock
springs
ridge
in
exchange
for
319
acres
of
former
rock
springs
ridge,
golf
course:
lands
owned
by
the
golf
group
organization.
O
It
is
intended
this
investigation
period
will
lead
to
the
execution
of
a
mutually
agreeable
land
exchange
agreement
between
the
new
owners
at
some
point
in
the
near
future,
and
I
will
forgive
my
three
paragraphs
here
that
supplement
that.
But,
as
stated
I'd
like
to
thank
you
in
advance
for
your
continued
support
for
our
efforts.
Thank
you.
X
I
would
concur
that
he
is
to
be
highly
respected
for
asking
questions,
doing
his
homework,
digging
deep
and
trying
to
do
the
right
thing
for
the
city,
all
the
citizens
in
the
city,
an
honorable
person
and
you'll
be
missed.
Wish
you
the
very
best
you're
in
your
family,
congratulations
of
what
you've
done
and
thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
Y
Y
So
at
that
time,
in
my
household
I
had
five
votes,
so
I
said
okay,
let
me
check
this
guy
out
and
so
as
a
father
watching
his
daughters.
We
watch
from
afar
and
that's
what
I
did.
I
watch
from
afar
watch
you
how
you
conduct
yourself,
how
you
carry
yourself
and
it
was
a
beautiful
experience
for
me.
I
never
thought
I'd
be
gaining
a
friend
for
the
rest
of
my
life,
so
I
want
to
say
to
you
tonight.
Thank
you.
Y
When
I
got
to
know
you
a
little
bit
better
move
in
a
little
closer
from
watching
from
afar
and
join
you
for
trying
to
for
running
for
mayor
for
the
city
of
apopka,
I
had
a
chance
to
interact
with
you,
your
beautiful
family,
your
beautiful
daughters.
I
have
three
beautiful
daughters
also,
so
I
can
understand
how
struggles
I
pay,
but
it
was.
It
was
beautiful
watching
you
juggle
serving
the
community
because
that's
the
greatest
gift
we
can
do
serve
the
community
and
we
don't
have
enough
people
wanting
to
serve.
Y
Y
Y
Y
I
want
to
also
thank
you
because
I'm
kind
of
a
personal
person
and
I
sit
back-
and
sometimes
it's
not
right
to
judge,
but
I
do
judge-
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
raising
your
three
beautiful
daughters
when
we
say
these
words,
we
look
at
that
flag
and
we
pledge
these
words
our
pledge
of
allegiance
to
the
flag
of
the
united
states
of
america
to
the
republic
for
which
it
stands,
one
nation,
under
god,
indivisible
with
justice
and
liberty.
For
all.
Y
Y
Y
It's
I
I
admire
a
guy
when
he
get
hit
once
and
he
restrained
himself,
but
when
he
get
hit
again
and
he
restrained
himself.
That
showed
me
your
true
character.
So
I
say
thank
you
for
showing
me
that
principles
matters.
Thank
you
for
showing
me
that
what
you
do
here
on
the
city
council
board
every
city
council
meeting
showing
me
that
procedures
matters.
Thank
you.
Y
Thank
you
for
showing
me
that
leadership
matters.
Thank
you
for
showing
me
that
responsibility
matter.
Thank
you
for
showing
me
that
accountability
matters.
Thank
you
for
showing
me
morals
matters.
Thank
you
for
showing
me
that
laws
matters.
Thank
you
for
showing
me
the
ethics
matters
and,
last
but
not
least,
thank
you
for
showing
me
the
things
that
you
understand
about
character
you
can
get
to
anywhere.
You
want
to
be
in
this
world
with
talent,
good
looks
knowledge,
lying
cheating,
but
only
your
character
is
going
to
sustain
you
and
that
you
understand.
Thank
you.
Z
Z
I
appreciate
the
sixth
year
that
you
gave
a
small
misunderstanding
that
the
two
of
us
had,
but
you
was
man
enough
to
come
and
say
I
apologize
because
you
know
my
character
and
I
know
yours.
I
appreciate
your
six
years,
but
I'm
here
for
another
matter
as
well.
Okay,
I
I
don't
want
to
drop
the
ball
when
it
comes
to
the
south
apopka
community.
Z
I
think
that
the
commissioners,
along
with
you,
mr
mayor,
should
add
into
the
budget
things
that
would
allocate
making
south
apopka
better
from
here
on
out.
I
was
listening
at
the
first
responders
and
there's
always
the
money
in
the
budget
for
our
firefighters,
for
all
of
the
other
things
that
we
feel
that
are
important.
Z
Z
Z
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
how
y'all
constantly
work
with
the
south
apopka
ministry
of
alliance,
but
I'm
here
tonight
on
behalf
of
the
apopka
christian
ministry
alliance,
we
will
be
celebrating
the
national
day
of
prayer
on
may.
The
5th
apopka
has
one
of
the
greatest
male
prayer
breakfasts
out
of
all
of
the
cities
around.
Z
Z
I
would
like
to
say
to
anyone
here
that,
if
you
don't
have
a
table
would
like
to
have
a
table,
the
tables
will
be
going
for
400,
700
and
1200..
So
we
want
you
to
be
a
part
of
it
because
we
know,
regardless
of
what
we
do
in
our
community.
If
there
is
no
prayer,
there's
not
going
to
be
anything
answered,
so
I
would
hope
that
the
churches,
christians
everywhere
pastors,
are
praying
for
our
leaders,
because
y'all
need
prayer.
Z
The
job
that
you
all
have
you
need
prayer,
there's,
no
way
that
you
can
do
what
you're
doing
without
god's
help.
So
we
will
be
praying
for
you.
I
would
also
like
to
ask
that
I'm
sure
y'all
have
some
some
funds
available
discretionary
funds
that
y'all
may
want
to
be
a
part
of
of
what
we're
doing
with
the
prep
breakfast.
So
I
kind
of
expect
all
of
the
commissioners
to
call
me
text
me
and
be
a
part
of
what
we're
doing
my
job
is
not
your
job.
Z
My
job
is
to
continue
to
pray
for
everyone,
I'm
going
to
love
my
enemies
and
all
of
those
I'm
going
to
pray
for
those
that
despitefully
use
me,
but
at
the
same
time
my
job
is
to
do
what
I'm
doing
now.
So
I'm
excellent
that
each
and
every
one
of
our
commissioners
will
look
into
your
discretionary
funds
and
be
a
blessing
to
the
apopka
christian
ministry
alliance.
We
look
forward
to
having
you
at
the
mayor,
prep
breakfast.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.

G
Vladimir
ortega,
finance
director
for
the
city
of
apopka
resolution
2022-19
amending
the
budget
for
the
fiscal
year,
beginning
october,
1st
2021
and
ending
september
30th
2022.
The
first
resolution.
The
city
received
incidental
reimbursement
check
in
the
amount
of
27
840.75
for
damage
to
a
city
control
box
on
errol
parkway
424
that
was
struck
by
a
vehicle.
The
amendment
is
to
reimburse
expenses
to
the
streets
division
for
the
repairs
in
the
amount
of
1645.
G
The
second
I'm
sorry
that
was
the
second
amendment.
The
first
amendment
is
the
city
receive
incidental
reimbursement
check
in
the
amount
of
the
1645
for
damage
to
the
city-owned
fence,
a
14-l
lane
that
was
struck
by
a
vehicle,
and
the
amendment
is
to
reimburse
these
expenses
to
to
the
street
division
for
the
repairs,
and
the
second
amendment
was
for
twenty
seven
thousand
eight
hundred
forty,
seventy
five,
the
third
amendment.
G
It's
on
the
meeting
that
was
held
on
may
19
by
the
city
council
that
approved
the
staff
to
sign
50
50
grand
amendment
awarded
to
the
city
for
the
atlanta
water
conservation
fund
in
the
amount
of
107
750
for
the
project
total
being
215
000.
So
that's
half
of
that
and
this
amendment
assigned
funds
for
grant
expenditures
that
will
be
reimbursed
by
the
florida
department
of
environmental
protection
for
that
107
750-
and
this
is
the
amendment
total
of
137
235
75
for
resolution
number
2022-19.
A
E
A
All
opposed
motion
carries
anonymously
all
right
before
we
get
to
city
council
reports
I
just
wanted
to,
because
I
don't
usually
go
last.
We
don't
have
a.
We
don't
have
the
attorney.
We
don't
have
edward
here
as
well,
but
I
just
want
to
say
that
to
commissioner
becker
that
you
have
made
you
you've
challenged
us.
You've
made
us
better.
You've,
really
you've
made
a
difference
here
in
apopka
and
hope.
N
I
Each
of
us
have
different
strengths
up
here,
and
I've
always
admitted
that
my
weakness
or
was
always
kind
of
finance
and
data,
and
I
always
relied
on
kyle,
and
I
knew
that
every
time
he
came
to
the
meeting,
he
would
be
on
point
with
that.
So
that
is
something
that
that
is
so
correct.
That
will
be
a
void
and
our
day
is
here,
and
I
hope
where's
commissioner,
elect
nestor
will
kind
of
fill
that
void
a
little
bit,
but
on
a
kind
of
a
personal
note,
is
that
he
is.
I
B
We
both
came
in
at
the
same
time
and
it
was
so
fun
being
the
vertically
challenged
one
of
the
two,
and
I
appreciate
that
you're
gonna,
you
know
help
me
not
feel
so
short
now,
but
you
know
again,
it's
just
an
echo
really
in
the
room
of
the
the
thoughtfulness
and
the
depth
that
you've
sought
to
bring
to
everything
that
that
was
always
something
that
was
look
forward
to.
We
really
work
together
in
this
and
it's
what
each
person
brings.
B
That
really
helps
us
come
to
good
conclusions,
and
you
know
again,
there
are
differing
viewpoints.
I
think
that
is
healthy.
I
think
that's
good
and
I
think
that
we've
always
sought
to
utilize
all
of
those
things
and
really
come
to
the
best
conclusion
that
each
of
us
feel
convicted
for,
but
I
was
thinking
about.
AA
Well,
commissioner,
record,
I
think
I'm
the
one
that
has
the
least
amount
of
time
to
have
been
able
to
serve
with
you
and
these
four
years
that
I've
been
able
to
sit
next
to.
You
have
been
very
enjoyable
as
I've
recognized
and
heard
the
things
that
you
said
and
I've
always
been
taught.
You
can
always
measure
man
by
his
handshake.
Your
handshake
has
always
been
firm.
AA
You've
always
had
that
smile
and
that
welcoming
about
yourself-
and
as
I
told
you
as
you
begin
this
meeting
one
good
thing
about
your
departing
now
I've
become
the
tallest
man
on
the
council,
but
watching
you
and
observing
the
things
that
you
have
done
while
on
the
council,
and
you
know
that
I
have
a
special
place
in
my
heart
for
students
and
when
I
noticed
that
you
were
giving
the
scholarship
that
you
gave
the
students.
That
was
one
of
the
things
that
I
picked
up.
AA
AA
G
E
E
So
I,
in
an
interest
of
time
I
didn't
write
a
long-winded
speech.
So
don't
don't
fear,
but
I
did
want
to
read
because
I
always
find
that
whenever
I
speak
from
the
heart
which
I
prefer
to
do
whenever
I
read
the
words
in
the
apopka
chief,
the
apopka
voice
afterwards,
I'm
like
did.
I
did
I
structure
my
sentence.
That
way
it
just.
I
sounded
weird,
so
I
wrote
the
words
down
for
tonight
and
I
just
didn't
want
to
miss
an
opportunity
to
say
the
words
that
I
wanted
to
say:
ready.
E
We
had
the
loss
of
miss
betty
land
over
the
last
week
week
and
a
half,
and
you
know
I'm
reflecting
on
six
years
of
service
tonight,
which
pales
in
comparison
with
the
60
years
of
service
and
investment
in
our
city
that
she
did
under
maryland's
tenure.
So
I
wish
the
family
comfort
during
this
time
of
loss
with
that
said,
it's
proof
that
all
good
books
come
to
an
end
and
while
I'm
not
in
the
end
of
my
personal
book
tonight,
marks
the
closing
of
a
spectacular
chapter
in
my
life.
I
E
Q
E
And
it's
something
that
we
knew
going
into
it,
especially
with
our
daughter's
formative
years.
I
mean
madeleine,
was
eight
years
old
when
we
started
this
journey
together
and
something
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
our
goal
was
to
make
sure
that
we
were
able
to
prioritize
their
interest
and
share
all
of
life's
events
as
a
family.
While
balancing
my
surface
to
apopka,
and
we
did
that,
we
succeeded
together
and
just
to
tell
you
again,
I
had
no
hope
of
not
crying
tonight.
E
You
know,
but
our
daughters,
madeline,
emily
and
lucy
are
the
most
important
thing
to
kelly
and
I
and
we're
so
happy
that
they
were
able
to
be
part
of
this
journey
experience
it
with
us
and
really
see
the
civic
process
in
hand,
see
it
in
action,
and
so
I
I
took
that
to
heart
when
sylvester
commissioner
velasquez
said
you
know,
when
you
think
of
a
leader,
daughters,
look
up
to
me.
I
never
really
thought
about
it
that
way,
but
it's
just
it's
such
a
blessing.
For
me.
E
I
still
joke
to
this
day
that
I
don't
think
he
knew
what
my
first
name
was.
He
just
always
said:
hey
becker.
Would
that
just
that
voice
commissioner
alice
nolan,
and
then
our
current
council,
commissioner
velasquez
commissioner
banks
and
mr
smith
and
mayor
nelson
to
your
point.
We've
we've
had
our
arguments
up
here.
We've
had
different
differences
of
opinion,
but
as
long
as
it's
to
make
the
best
outcome
possible
is
what
you
know:
I've
always
driven
towards.
E
Then
there's
staff
I'd
like
to
thank
city
staff
for
putting
up
with
all
of
my
again
to
echo
the
point
request
for
data,
because
there
was
many
opportunities
and
requests
that
way
and,
more
importantly,
your
willingness
to
allow
me
to
challenge
your
thinking.
You
know
me,
I
wasn't
the
type
just
to
kind
of
take
things
for
face
value.
I
wanted
to
poke
and
prod
your
thinking,
which
I
probably
did
a
little
bit
more
than
your
liking.
E
But
you
know
that's
just
the
way
it
went
and
I
think
we
were
all
better
for
it.
It
was
a
mutual
respect,
but
my
biggest
thanks
really
are
extended
to
the
employees
that
are
in
the
trenches
who
make
this
city
run
and
keep
our
residents
safe
and
healthy
every
day,
whether
they
wear
a
badge,
bunker
gear,
an
orange
shirt
or
a
business
suit.
E
High,
I
know
that
again,
I
think
someone
touched
on
it
before
social
media.
We
know
what
you
all
do
and
you
do
it
well
over
my
tenure
as
commissioner.
I've
helped
shape
practical
policy.
At
least
practical
in
my
mind,
I
guess
that's
up
for
debate
and
always
strive
to
get
the
right
answer
or
outcome,
not
necessarily
the
quickest
success
comes
in
small
in
large
forms.
E
I
celebrate
all
of
those
successes
whether
they
are
large
or
big,
and
you
know
there
was
many
during
my
two
terms,
as
commissioner
christopher
smith
touched
on
it
before
I
created
the
seat,
for
a
good
scholarship,
you
know
play
on
words,
certainly
even
serve
in
seat
four,
and
it
was
about
you
know,
bringing
commissioner
aerosmith
my
predecessor
on
you
know.
Together
we
would
present
scholarship
to
a
senior
at
wekiva
and
apopka.
That
stressed
a
passion
for
civic
engagement
and
community
service.
E
E
What
do
you
forget
to
do
you
forget
to
take
pictures
of
your
own
dang
family
and
hang
it
on
your
wall?
And
if
people
with
means
forget
to
do
something
like
that,
people
without
means
certainly
aren't
doing
it
and
your
family
is
the
most
important
thing
to
you,
and
so
what
we
did
is
we,
you
know,
would
schedule
30
families
to
come
out,
hire
a
professional
photographer,
take
pictures
of
the
families
and
then
provide
them
a
free,
matted
frame
print
for
the
holidays
and
I'll,
never
forget.
Speaking
of
crying,
my
eyes
out.
E
Wasn't
able
to
come
and
pick
it
up
the
day
that
we
were
giving
them
out,
so
I
met
her
up
at
a
like
a
convenience
store
and
had
it
wrapped
and
just
she
just
started
bawling
as
soon
as
she
opens.
The
picture
like
sees
her
family
like
it's
one
of
the
ones
that
first
ones
that
she's
had,
and
it
was
just
so
rewarding
it's
just
some
something
as
simple
as
that.
E
E
If
you
reached
out
for
a
need
of
any
size,
whether
it
was
rights
of
way
not
being
maintained
or
something
larger,
I
always
had.
I
always
entertained
that
I
was
responsible
to
the
people
that
needed
that,
because
again
you
never
know
how
many
times
a
person
has
engaged
with
the
local
city
government
a
lot
of
times.
People
never
do
and
that
one
time
that
one
person
reaches
out
and
it's
their
first
time
it's
maybe
their
only
time.
You've
got
to
provide
that
treatment
as
if
it's
the
most
concerning
thing
for
them.
E
But
because
of
that,
because
of
that
responsive
nature
and
having
those
meetings,
those
one-off
coffees
or
lunch,
I
met
so
many
great
people
along
the
way.
As
a
result,
they
helped
shape
my
opinions
of
things.
How
I
looked
at
a
problem
because,
again,
as
a
commissioner,
we
get
the
the
lead
impacts
on
a
friday.
E
It's
a
mad
dash
to
wednesday.
Each
one
of
us
has
to
kind
of
look
at
the
problem
on
our
own.
We
can't
sit
there
and
huddle
sunshine
laws
preclude
that,
but
each
of
us
is
looking
at
the
issue.
Our
own
way,
with
our
own
world
views
baked
into
it
and
when
you
meet
with
more
and
more
people
that
have
alternate
points
of
view
as
you
do,
it
helps
you
get
a
better
understanding
and
there's
always
going
to
be
several
ways
to
attack
a
shared
problem.
E
And
responsiveness
should
be,
and
as
going
forward,
it
should
be
a
non-negotiable
expectation
of
the
people
that
you
elect
to
represent
you
again.
Your
local
representatives
are
the
ones
that
are
going
to
have
the
most
high
touch
with
you
individually,
they're,
the
people
that
and
all
credit
to
the
mayor.
You
know
they're
the
people
knocking
at
your
door
during
election
time.
E
E
To
you
know,
I
always
find
it
funny
when
people
say
well,
I'm
not
a
politician,
the
politicians
that
say
that
are
the
people
that
are
seeking
elected
office.
No,
you
are,
I
mean
by
definition,
you're
a
politician,
but
politics
can
be
worked
in
a
very
positive
fashion
and
that's
being
responsive.
It's
actually
doing
the
things
that
should
be
getting
done
and
that's
just
so
much
what
we
need,
but
just
to
wrap
it
up.
I've
grown
so
much
as
a
person
as
a
man
as
a
father.
E
E
E
I
just
wish
you
so
much
success,
because
you're
you're
going
to
come
and
sit
in
the
seat
and
do
things
nick
style
and
that's
going
to
be
different.
The
rest
accounts
are
going
to
calibrate
to
your
style,
but
you're
going
to
bring
something
that
I
couldn't
offer.
I
don't
know
what
that
is,
but
you're
going
to
bring
that
to
the
table
and
you're
going
to
have
a
uniqueness
about
you
that
you're
going
to
be
able
to
take
this
city
even
further
than
I
was.
So
we
have
a
great
legacy.
E
You
know
with
commissioner
aerosmith
serving
in
the
seat
for
almost
39
or
almost
40
years.
So
39
years
I
mean
holy
cow.
I
six
years
I'm
trying
to
do
the
math
multiply.
You
know,
carry
the
one
40
years
six
years
for
me
and
who
knows
what
your
story
is
going
to
be,
but
I
wish
you
all
the
success,
I'm
here
for
you
whenever
you
need
it,
and
I
just
wish
you
all
the
best,
and
I
wish
this
council
the
best.
I
wish
our
city
the
best
and
all
the
families
that
live
in
it.
