Let

If

We

G
F
I
This
is
regarding
gilchrist
park
playground
from
betsy
blasting
good
morning.
Council
is
one
of
the
founders
of
friends
of
gilchrist
park
playground.
I
would
like
to
recommend
the
city
approve
the
existing
dry
playground
space
into
a
full
splash
pad
the
existing
splash
pad
attracts
many
families
and
their
children
all
summer.
Long
on
many
summer
days
you
may
have
25
or
more
kids
playing
the
size
of
the
pad,
as
it
is
today
is
too
small.
Creating
an
unsafe
play.
Environment
panagorda
has
a
beautiful
playground
at
gilchrist
park.
I
Therefore,
a
large
interactive
splash
pad
that
lashley
will
provide
a
fun
and
safe
place
for
children,
spend
all
the
funds
on
an
awesome
splash
pad.
We
can
be
proud
of.
Thank
you
friends
of
gilchrist
park,
and
we
do
have
some
additional
information
when
we
get
to
that
agenda
item.
One
calls
together.
F
And
whereas,
as
a
method
of
raising
funds,
the
saint
vincent
de
paul
district
council
of
charlotte
county
will
hold
its
12th
annual
walk
for
the
poor.
On
february,
13
2021
at
the
lashley
park,
pavilion
in
punta
gorda
to
raise
donations
to
help
the
four
charlotte
county
conferences
provide
for
the
needs
of
qualified
families
and
individuals
and
whereas,
over
the
past
year,
the
conferences
and
their
combined
volunteer
workforce
of
more
than
500
have
helped
thousands
of
men,
women
and
children
in
charlotte
county
who
have
received
goods
and
financial
aid
totaling
over
2.3
million
dollars.
F
Now,
therefore,
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
punta
gorda
florida
does
hereby
proclaim
february
13
2021
as
saint
vincent
de
paul
day,
and
encourages
citizens
to
participate
in
the
walk
or
devote
their
talents
to
volunteering
with
the
society
paston
julie
adopted.
Excuse
me
in
regular
session
this
third
day
of
february
2021
signed
lynn,
matthews
mayor
and
accepting

pierre.
F
B
Good
morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is
joanne
pierre
and
I'm
the
district
council
president
for
charlotte
county
sylvans
in
nepal.
Well,
the
introduction
came
some
of
the
things
I
was
going
to
say,
but
you
know
with
colvin.
We
are
really
pushing
to
see
how
much
people
we
can
get
to
come
to
our
walk
and
also
get
a
lot
of
more
donations.
B
Someone
asked
me
if
we
accept
food
and
stuff.
Yes,
we
do,
but
not
at
the
walk
at
the
walk.
We
accept
only
monetary
gifts
and
if
you
don't
have
monetary
gifts,
we
still
invite
you
to
come
and
walk
with
us.
Even
if
you
can't
walk
you
come
and
give
us
the
support,
that's
basically
it-
and
I
thank
you
very
much
for
this
proclamation
from
vincent
and
paul.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
F
F
Okay,
if
there's
anyone
in
the
room
that
would
like
to
introduce
themselves
as
a
candidate
for
a
border
committee
position.
Please
come
to
the
podium
and
you
have
three
minutes
anyone
in
the
audience
that
would
like
to
introduce
themselves
as
a
board
or
committee
candidate,
okay,
seeing
none
we'll
move
on.
We
will
adjourn
as
city
council
and
reconvene
as
the.
J
F
I
You
we'll
start
with
the
municipal
marina
activity.
As
you
look
year
to
year
from
january
20
to
21,
you
can
see
that
activity
is
essentially
the
same.
There's
a
little
bit
less
on
the
monthly
transactions
transient
is
about
the
same,
as
are
the
commercials
of
course,
and
the
moorings
are
slightly
higher
a
little
bit
less
on
the
liveaboard
community
room
is
the
big
thing
other
than
our
month
to
month.
That
is
standard.
We
still
don't
have
much
or
any
use
on
the
community
room.
I
We
certainly
are
trying
to
promote
that,
but
it
is
really
more
related
to
the
covet
issue.
You
can
see
that
last
year,
this
time
we
had
17
in
the
month
of
january.
So
when
you
look
at
the
number
of
days
that
may
be
available,
obviously
that's
more
than
just
a
weekday,
and
you
know
for
the
residential
rate.
If
you
or
I
go
in
and
just
need
that
it's
20
an
hour,
it's
really
not
very
expensive.
I
I
The
other
thing
at
the
marina
just
to
before
we
talk
about
gilchrist
is
that
we
do
still
have
three
finger
slips
that
are
out
of
service
that
have
been
damaged.
They
were
repaired
previously
and
we
need
to
do
a
permanent
repair.
We're
looking
at
that,
as
I
was
explaining
the
some
of
the
finger
piers
that
come
out
that
boots
are
on
each
side
of
the
wave
and
wind
action
coming
in
just
makes
them
twist
and
eventually
it
twists
the
metal
at
the
base
and
permanently
damages
it.
I
Just
like
you
bend
the
paperclip
until
it
breaks
essentially
so
we're
looking
at
how
to
fix
that
permanently
and
looking
at
our
submerged
land
lease
and
what
we
might
need
to
do
to
have
that
written
in,
so
that
we
can
effectuate
that
repair
that'll.
Give
us
five
more
slips
back,
which
you
know
is
a
good
thing
for
marina
operation.
I
I
We
have
the
plaques
on
the
walls
there
that
you
can
see
that
have
been
up
for
some
time:
they're
the
memorial
plaques,
of
course,
general
car
and
the
team
from
the
veterans
committee.
We've
done
a
lot
of
work
there
and
continue
to.
We
have
the
main
plaque
veterans
park
punta
gorda.
That's
consistent
with
our
branding
of
the
other
facilities
that
we
use
for
green
and
park
space,
there's
another
plaque
that
will
go
under
that.
That
is
the
kiwanis
plaque
that
really
outlines
the
history
of
that
park.
I
Along
with
that,
we've
had
some
meetings
talking
about
the
flagpole
placement,
sidewalk
benches,
brick
cleaning,
so
that
we
can
begin
a
plan
to
get
those
back
in
place.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
things
that
are
moving
forward
because,
of
course
you
know,
our
veterans
and
the
park
itself
are
very
important
to
this
community
and
we
want
to
help
facilitate
that
goal
of
getting
the
park
finished
and
approved
so
that
all
can
use
it
a
lot
of
work
going
on
there
lashley
park,
playground
area.
I
We
have
the
conceptual
options
completed
and
that's
what
we'll
be
discussing
soon
as
we
move
through
this,
so
that
you
can
look
at
what
we
have
on
either
a
all
wet
side
or
all
wet
type
of
playground,
area
or
a
wet
dry
like
we
had
before.
Of
course,
we
had
to
remove
the
dry
side,
some
of
the
issues
that
we
had
with
that
and
what
that
could
allow
for
the
kids
or
adults
that
play
in
the
water
there.
D
I
I
If,
by
the
time
you
get
through
this
guide
and
you're
a
designer,
you
don't
know
how
to
make
a
wayfinding
sign,
then
I
don't
think
you
ever
will,
because
it's
very
thorough,
very
complete
when
you
look
at
it,
which
of
course
it
needs
to
be
so
we
appreciate
that
they
put
the
time
and
effort
into
that
and
that
we
have
that
also
moving
forward.
Of
course,
we
have
a
substantial
amount
of
pending
projects
that
can
continue
to
be
moved
through
the.
K
I
It
is
being
paid
for
most
of
it
with
one
percent
sales
tax
right,
the
500
000.
That
is
probably
a
high
estimate
for
when
we
need
to
move
staff.
That
part
is
not
one
percent
sales
tax
that
part
will
come
out
of
there's
other
options
that
were
presented
there.
That
could
be
some
of
the
money
that
was
left
over
from
the
federal
monies.
There
were
different
things.
It
was
in
the
total
amount
of
the
fund
that
includes
the
sale
of
the
property.
The
special
use
fund.
K
I
Okay,
yes
yep
other
than
that
ac
freeman
house.
We
have
the
scope
of
work
completed.
Actually,
I
believe
thursday
there's
a
walk
through
with
the
engineer
on
that,
so
that
we
did
have
a
project
that
or
a
study
that
showed
scope.
Staff
has
put
together
a
lot
of
the
issues
that
we
know
are
in
the
ac
freeman
property
right
now.
There's
everything
from
water
damage
from
rain
and
pipes
that
have
broken
to
mold
remediation
and
different
things
that
we
have
to
have
so
the
engineer.
I
K
To
get
a
handle
on
maintaining
this
building
so
that
we
don't
have
to
wait
for
it
to
be
completely
falling
apart
before
we
fix
things,
I'm
I
am
I
when
this
hit
the
the
world,
I
had
several
people
who
said:
how
did
it
get
this
bad?
Don't
we
do
any
kind
of
inspections
or
checkups
or
maintenance?
I
guess
prevention.
D
I
Of
course,
we
have
coveted
challenges,
but
you
know
when
we
look
at
our
staffing
and
what
they're
able
to
do
we
have.
You
know
we
need
something
done
in
the
building.
We
pick
up
the
phone
and
call
our
one
person
that
handles
building
operations
just
about
everything
that
we
do.
Of
course
we
have
an
electrician
that
also
works
on
a
lot
of
the
electrical
issues.
We
have
one
person,
that's
handling
all
the
parks
over
here,
and
then
we
have
someone,
that's
picking
up
all
the
pieces
that
supervises
all
them.
I
I
I
At
the
gilchrist
playground,
the
little
library,
obviously
there's
a
32
by
32,
pretty
much
slab
at
the
bottom,
and
you
can
see
that
represented
on
the
right
where
the
mosaic
is
with
the
black
square
hole
in
the
center.
That's
where
the
post,
for
that
little
library
goes
down
through
the
concrete
and
what
the
request
is
that
the
concrete
slab
could
be
considered
with
that
mosaic
to
make
it
a
little
more
whimsical
when
inviting
to
the
children
that
actually
use
that
little
facility.
I
F
F
F
F
D
I
N
N
N
N
N
You
know
the
fancy
guns
that
you
can
squirt
and
those
types
of
things
so
again
we're
making
sure
that
we
are
having
interactive
items
as
well
as
involved
in
inclusive
play
and
the
surface
area,
because
that's
an
issue
that'll
come
up
later,
would
be
very
similar
to
what
we
have
now.
It's
more
of
a
concrete
over
a
pebble
tech
type
deal.
N
So
in
that
two
to
seven
area
we're
looking
at
probably,
we
can
get
about
eight
to
twelve
different
items
and
you
can
get
smaller
ones
because
it
is
for
a
younger
group.
You'll
see
you
know
the
turtle
pack,
so
we
might
have
a
turtle
in
a
fish
or
those
types
of
things,
as
well
as
the
different
color
of
flowers
and
or
those
items
there.
N
So
this
would
be
a
layout
of
what
we
could
actually
fit
in
that
area.
We
could
even
get
you
know
a
small
little
tot
slide
and
that
type
of
stuff
and
then
on
the
adjacent
area.
We
can
fit
about
four
to
five
larger
piece
items.
Usually
you
need
a
larger
space
when
you
have
a
bigger
item
you
know,
so
that's
how
we
can
space
things
out.
So
we
would
have
you
know
the
cool
little
jet
streams.
Of
course
we
will
tilt
them
so
that
they're
not
going
over
into
the
park
but
more
into
the
water.
N
N
N
N
That
is
there
currently
so
again
in
the
splash
pad
area,
we're
kind
of
taking
the
best
of
all
of
them
and
trying
to
put
them
in
that
space
and
again,
when
you
you're
dealing
with
the
older
age
items
it
creates
or
the
the
need
for
more
space,
so
we
can
fit
probably
about
eight
in
this
area
in
a
combination
of
both
types
of
interactive
items
in
the
dry
playground
area.
Again,
we
have
to
be
cautious
of
what
we
can
put
here.
We
know
metal
does
not
even
when
we
counter
it
powder
coat.
N
N
These
blocks
that
are
here
are
similar
to
what
we
kind
of
have
in
gilchrist.
You
know
those
big
type
of
climbing
blocks
there.
This
is
just
a
low
one.
Just
so
you
can
see
what
it
looks
like
and
then
some
type
of
item
that
moves,
the
other
elements
for
this
again.
We
know
we're
replacing
the
pump
the
tank
and
the
filtration
center
and
system
since
we
are
going
to
encourage
people
now
to
play
in
that
open
grass
area.
That's
where
the
tank
and
some
other
elements
are
for
the
safety
reasons.
N
We
do
have
to
enclose
that
and
kind
of
keep
that
separate
from
the
play
area.
So
that
is,
you
know
one
piece
of
this,
that
it's
not
the
fancy
things,
but
it's
required
and
we
need-
and
we
need
to
do
that
as
well
as
depending
on
whether
we
go
full
splash
pad
or
even
the
one.
We
do
need
to
build
some
type
of
a
retaining
wall
number
one
to
keep
the
kids
from
in
that
in
that
space,
so
they're
in
the
playground
area
and,
more
importantly,
to
keep
the
water
off
of
the
harbour
walk.
N
So,
obviously,
if
we
go
with
wet
and
dry,
we
only
really
need
to
do
the
wall
on
the
one.
But
if
we
do
completely
wet,
we
will
need
to
put
walls
on
the
others.
The
other
thing
we
will
design
for
is
a
shade
structure
to
go
over
those
two
items.
We
will
be
able
to
do
these
as
an
add
delete
item
and
what
that
does
is
it's
included
in
the
plans
and
when
it
goes
out
to
bid.
N
N
So
that's
why
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
in
their
plans
that
later
on,
if
we
wanted
to
put
them
in,
they
would
already
be
designed-
and
we
could
still
you
know-
have
those
features
at
a
later
time,
given
budgeting
and
that
type
of
thing,
so
some
benefits
and
costs
in
the
first
option.
Obviously
the
biggest
thing
is
within
all
water,
we're
eliminating
any
corrosion
issues
and
high
maintenance
issues
that
we've
experienced
over
the
past
with
the
dry
playground.
N
N
N
It
will
require
the
retaining
walls.
There
is
a
lot
more
plumbing
that
would
need
to
be
done
underneath
and
obviously
we,
the
existing
area
we
have
with
the
bricking.
We
don't
want
to
tear
all
of
that
up,
so
there
is
going
to
be
some
boring.
That's
going
to
have
to
happen
underneath
there
rough
estimates
from
our
consultant
right
now
is
the
cost
of
an
all
water
versus
half
and
half
is
about
50
percent
more,
when
you
add
in
all
of
the
plumbing
and
all
of
that
type
of
stuff,.
N
On
the
other
hand,
the
playground
and
splash
pad
option,
there
is
less
site
work,
because
basically
the
dry
area
would
remain
the
same.
We
would
just
need
to
do
the
drainage
and
then
put
in
the
foundation
and
the
equipment
and
that
type
of
stuff
we
wouldn't
need
the
second
retaining
walls
and
that
type
of
stuff
there.
I
You
know
here
we
have
the
compass
rose
and
then,
of
course
we
have
the
sidewalk
area
where
we
would
on
the
inner
radius
of
that
we
would
have
some
type
of
seating
wall.
So
when
you
do
that,
of
course,
it
not
only
provides
separation
between
the
sidewalk
and
the
play
areas,
which
is
good,
but
it
gives
you
a
place
to
sit
and
watch
your
children
play
that's
sort
of
general
close
proximity.
I
The
other
thing
is
that
we
do
want
to
make
sure
any
piping
is
underneath,
so
we
don't
disturb
the
existing
work
there.
But
when
you
say
50
percent
more,
you
know,
we've
looked
at
wet
and
dry
sides
and
right
now
the
engineers
are
not
sure
exactly
what
that
number
may
be.
It
may
be
50
more.
It
may
be
50
of
the
wet
side
versus
dry
side
which,
if
you
divide
by
two,
then
that
would
be
25
overall
on
the
project.
I
I
So
when
we
look
at
the
project,
we
know
we
have
325
000
right
now
and
if,
regardless
of
which
option
you
choose,
if
it
comes
in
more,
we
know
we
can
reduce
a
mushroom
or
we
can
reduce
a
palm
tree
and
we
can
try
to
bring
the
cost
back
in
line.
We
might
have
a
hanger
type
thing
where
we
just
have
spray
nozzles
that
spray
water
out
instead
of
having
fixtures
that
cost
as
much.
I
If
we
need
to
so
we
have
those
options
once
we
know
what
direction
you
want
to
go
and
what
we
direct
the
engineer
to
do
we'll
come
up
with
the
final
cost
and
then
we'll
determine
what
exactly
is
placed
and
where,
based
on
the
amount
of
money
we
have
available,
and
unless
you
determine
you
want
to
increase
the
budget.
For
that.
F
Well,
I
mean
you
know,
I
know
that
some
of
the
stuff
takes
a
lot
of
wear
and
tear,
because
the
kids
are
jumping
on
it
and
playing
on
it,
and
all
of
that
and
and
the
weather
is
certainly
a
big
part
of
it.
Do
we
have
any
kind
of
an
idea?
Is
there
anything
that's
in
the
warranty
that
comes
with
this
equipment,
yeah.
N
We
would
have
there's
usually
typically
a
five
to
ten
year
warranty
the
big
span,
I
know.
Well
it
it
depends
on
which
piece,
because
it
depends
whether
or
not
it's
like
a
plastic
or
a
poly
one
versus
you
know
a
metal
one.
Each
component
has
different
types
of
warranty
on
them,
but
a
water
one
is
designed
to
uphold
with
the
chlorine
and
other
elements.
So
we
are
going
to
get
a
larger
lifespan
for
those
than
we
will
for
the
play
equipment.
The
play
equipment,
where
probably
the
surfacing.
H
I'm
thinking
from
the
standpoint
of
actual
utility
that
option
one
is
best
because
kids,
they
segregate
by
ages-
and
I
think,
if
we
do
this,
they're
all
going
to
want
to
go
to
the
spot,
and
if
we
limit
it
to
only
half
of
this,
that
we
kind
of
eliminate
the
point.
I
think
it's
important.
They
have
enough
space
to
be
able
to
be
with
their
age
group.
A
N
F
P
N
N
You
know,
so
it
really
does
depend.
We
are
able
to
piggyback
off
of
the
state
contract
so
that
we
can
buy
the
equipment
direct,
which
will
save,
which
will
definitely
save
us
money
on
the
equipment
cost
again.
The
real
cost
is
going
to
be
in
the
infrastructure
and
lay
in
the
pipes
and
in
those
types
of
items
it's
the
site
work
that
the
majority
of
the
funds
are
going
to
be
from.
N
Before
we
can
make
a
decision,
it's
difficult
in
the
sense
that
we
don't
want
to
pay
an
engineer
to
design
something
and
cost
it
out.
If
we
don't
go
that
route
so
with
a
route
that
we
want
to
go
in,
we're
able
to
then
now
figure
out
what
size
tank
we
need.
So
we
can
get
a
price
on
that.
How
much
pipe
do
we
need?
N
A
Know
well,
I
feel
that
we've
got
other
playgrounds
in
our
community.
Like
gilchrist,
we've
invested
a
lot
of
money
to
make
and
thanks
to
the
the
friends
of
gilchrist
park
that
have
helped
us,
we
have
a
really
wonderful
children's
playground
there.
If
you
want
dry
equipment,
then
I
think
then
go
there,
and-
and
I
think
we
should.
A
A
M
I'd
like
to
be
assured
that,
should
we
go
with
number
one
that
this
would
not
be
considered
a
new
project
for
such
per
se,
that's
just
an
expansion
of
the
existing
facility
and
that
by
adding
something
that's
new
and
unique.
This
doesn't
make
it
a
new
project.
Are
we
comfortable
with
going
that
route
and
having
that
determination.
F
M
Q
Kristen
simeone
from
finance,
we
cannot
use
tax,
increment
financing
to
start
new
projects.
However,
we
in
the
cra
fund,
we
currently
have
three
sections
of
our
cra
tiff,
which
is
the
tax
agreement,
financing
which
can
only
be
used
on
the
debt
service.
So
that
part
is
correct.
We
would
not
touch
any
of
those
funds
to
use
for
this
project.
Q
However,
we
have
two
other
two
other
sections
of
cra:
one
is
for
the
herald
court
center
operations
and
then
any
other
operations
where
we
get
some
rental
revenues,
and
things
like
that
that
are
coming
in
that
we
can
use
towards
projects
and
we
have
a
reserve
operate.
We
call
that
part
the
operating
reserve,
the
other
one.
We
call
the
debt
service
to
reserve
for
that.
So
I
think
that
is
what
you
may
be
referring
to.
K
Debbie,
I
seem
to
remember
when
this
was
first
brought
up
and
we
gave
staff
direction
that
commissioner
dryberg
said
that
the
county
has
wonderful,
splash
parks
and
that
we
should
aim
for
something
like
that.
Am
I
correct
okay,
so
I
think
that
in
keeping
with
that
option,
one
is
the
way
we
go.
I
would
also
like
to
add
that
I
asked
my
experts
who
are
7
9
and
11.
D
K
F
O
O
It
was
in
the
paper
today,
but
hopefully
we
can
get
that
because
it's
a
major
expense
and
I'd
like
to
make
an
informative
decision,
and
the
other
thing
before
my
time's
up
here
is
that,
as
chairman
of
the
parks
and
rec
board
for
the
county,
I
have
to
visit
most
of
the
parks
that
have
splash
pads
and
the
number
one
water
feature.
The
number
one
water
feature
is
the
tip
bucket.
O
O
A
I
F
A
O
O
F
F
F
F
J
J
J
Currently,
the
downtown
area
is
branded
as
city
center
and
based
on
previous
cra
discussion,
we
wanted
those
redesignated
as
downtown,
and
then
there
are
a
couple
of
signs
that
are
located
in
residential
areas,
immediately
adjacent
to
the
core
commercial
downtown
area,
and
previous
cra
discussion
was
to
rebrand
those
as
historic
district.
The
current
flag
color
is
changeable.
It's
based
on
the
color
scheme
within
our
existing
branding
and
logo.
J
As
you
know,
that
is
an
issue
living
and
working
in
this
community
with
the
number
of
visitors
that
we
have.
We
frequently
see
people
making
that
mistake,
so
we
definitely
want
to
do
whatever
we
can
to
discourage
that
the
consultant
did
provide
these
four
options
and
staff
is
looking
for
direction
on
them.
I
can
certainly
give
you
my
professional
opinion,
but.
F
F
J
D
J
My
professional
opinion
is
that
the
the
partial,
the
watermark
partial
logo
is
the
best
possible
option,
because
it
is
the
least
readily
apparent
that
there
is
a
message
there
trying
to
be
communicated
to
drivers.
It
looks
like
art,
it
is
art,
but
it
still
reinforces
the
city's
brand
in
an
effective
manner
because
they
see
that
logo
on
the
front
of
the
signs.
A
So
yeah,
I
had
a
comment
from
some
residents
that
by
not
putting
language
on
the
backs
of
some
of
the
signs,
we're
not
it's
not
being
pedestrian
friendly,
because
the
pedestrians
come
both
ways
right,
so
we're
only
giving
pedestrians
us.
You
know
an
indication
of
if
you
want
to
go
to
a
fisherman's
village
on
the
sign
that
you
they
one
slide
that
you
had
here.
A
Yes,
this
one,
you
have
information
on
the
right
to
direct
people
towards
city
hall,
military
heritage,
museum
or
fisherman's
village.
There
could
be
something
on
the
other
side
that
would
direct
people
to
in
the
other
direction.
But
what
you're
saying
is,
but
then
that
is
giving
may
give
indication
of
something
to
motorists,
and
you
don't
want
to
give
any
indication
to
motorists.
J
F
D
D
J
You
excuse
me
personally
from
my
professional
perspective.
The
watermark
logo
is
most
closely
meets
the
sort
of
criteria
that
fdot
has.
I
would
imagine
that
fdot
would
approve
potentially
any
of
these.
They
might
have
the
most
questions
about
the
full
logo
with
the
text
puna
gorda,
because
it
is
clearly
visible
and
and
may
confuse
a
motorist.
J
M
D
J
A
I
just
have
a
comment
and
this
plan
that
the
consultant
put
forth
is
like
a
style
guide
to
the
signs
I
wish
we
had
had
this
when
we
were
having
discussions
about
text
on
signs
and
things
like
that.
It
saved
us
hours,
yes
of
discussion,
because
it
very
clearly
lays
out
dimension
and-
and
you
know,
fonts
and
and
sizes-
and
I
mean
everything.
P
P
F
J
That's
the
total
cost
of
that
contract,
which
we
don't
anticipate
any
change
orders
on
that,
so
that
leaves
us
a
remaining
project,
balance
of
approximately
76
thousand
dollars.
The
engineer
of
records.
Preliminary
cost
estimate
for
this
project
and
again
these
are
based
on
sixty
percent
plans,
is
a
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollars.
Now
the
the
primary
delta
or
change
in
that
is
that
the
figure
for
maintenance
of
traffic?
That's
the
majority
of
that
change.
J
Cost
staff's
estimate,
based
on
the
two
previous
projects
mentioned,
was
pretty
good
in
terms
of
what
it
would
cost
to
replace
panels,
logos,
flags
and
entire
way.
Finding
assemblies,
but
the
maintenance
of
traffic
feature
is
not
something
that
was
clearly
identified
in
either
of
those
other
projects.
J
J
Believe
it
or
not,
our
downtown
is
much
more
urban
with
less
area
where
a
contractor
could
operate.
So
the
engineer
is
estimating
here
that
the
contractor
will
have
to
close
a
lane
of
traffic
on
41
or
17
in
the
location
of
the
sign
for
the
entire
time
that
they
are
working
at
that
sign
location.
So
those
those
costs
are
extensive
because
of
fdot
requirements
for
maintenance
traffic.
So
that's
that's
where
the
lion's
share
of
that
cost
increase
comes
from
over
the
original
staff
estimate.
We
just
wanted
to
make
you
aware
of
that.
F
Q
L
F
B

This
includes
the
approval
of

meeting
anything
anyone
would
like
to
pull
okay
hearing

I
would
entertain
a
motion
for

make
a
motion.
Second,
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
to
approve
the
consent
agenda
as
submitted
any
further
discussion.
F
R
Good
morning,
anne
heinen
procurement
for
the
record
procurement
received
a
request
from
the
fire
department
to
purchase
a
75-foot
or
greater
apparatus.
Fire
apparatus
with
a
aluminum
ladder
with
certain
specifications
procurement
looked
at
several
different
contracts.
We
looked
at
five
different
manufacturers
and
we
contacted
seven
different
dealerships
out
of
those
dealerships.
We
received
four
responses.
Two
were
no
bid
responses
because
they
could
not
provide
the
specifications
that
the
fire
department
needed
out
of
the
two.
The
lowest
bidder
was
rev
rtc
and
it
was
for
a
76
foot
aluminum
aerial
ladder.
R
The
total
amount
is
eight
816.
Thirty
five
dollars
the
vendor
has
offered
a
discount
of
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
if
the
city
will
pay
for
the
fire
apparatus.
Third,
within
thirty
days
of
issuing
the
purchase
order,
they
are
providing
a
performance
bond
to
the
city,
which
is
inclusive
of
that
total
dollar
amount.
So
with
that
the
the
25
000
discount,
the
total,
will
be
seven
hundred
ninety
one
thousand
eight
hundred
and
thirty
five
dollars
total
time
for
delivery
of
the
truck
will
be
approximately
a
year.
A
Nancy,
I
just
would
like
for
kristen
to
comment
on
the
fact
that
the
25
000
prepayment
discount
is
a
a
a
good
financial
decision
for
the
city
that,
because
we're
paying
all
of
this
up
front.
I
asked
greg
about
that,
and
he
said
yes,
but
I
just
would
like
for
kristin
just
to
say
that
for
our
public,
especially
with
our
current.
Q
Yes,
chris
and
simeone
again
from
finance,
and
we
have
purchased
several
trucks
in
the
past
and
each
time
they've
they
they've
offered
a
discount
like
this.
What
we
do
is
we
do
a
comparison
on
what
we
could
earn
on
those
funds
and
in
the
current
interest
rate
environment,
our
interest
rate
is
so
low.
We
would
not
earn
even
close
to
the
25
000
that
we
in
that
time
frame,
so
it
makes
better
sense
in
this
instance
to
actually
take
the
discount.
Thank
you.
F
Q
F
E
Certainly
obviously,
there's
buildings
all
over
where
the
fire
apparatus
or
ladder
trucks
cannot
reach
the
the
top
floor.
There's
protective
systems
that
are
put
in
place
so
that
that
shouldn't
that
shouldn't
restrict
building,
in
my
opinion,
at
all
it
you
know
we
can.
We
that's
that's
at
your
pleasure
so,
but
certainly
the
the
ladder
truck.
You
know,
there's
protection
systems
in
place
now.
E
E
That's
correct
so
for
us,
and
just
a
little
background,
we're
on
what's
called
a
single
rear
axle
instead
of
a
tandem.
So
if
you
get,
we
can
go
an
additional
25
foot
with
a
single
axle
which
would
be
wonderful.
However,
the
cost
it
increases
about
125
thousand
dollars
so
that
125
for
25
extra
feet
doesn't
seem
like
a
you
know,
a
great
investment
for
us.
We
need
the
single
rear
axle
that
allows
us
to
maneuver
downtown.
E
E
E
Well,
you
you
can,
but
you
can
reach
them,
but
you
can't
climb
it
very
well
right,
if
you
think
about
you,
know
placement
of
a
fire
truck,
there's
things
that
you
know
a
lot
of
folks,
don't
take
into
consideration
like
parking.
Do
you
have
you
know,
covered
parking
up
next
to
a
building
or
you
know.
So
how
close
can
you
get
so
a
70
degree?
Climbing
angle
is
really
optimum
for
climbing
a
ladder.
So
again
we
can
reach
with
our
five
to
six
occupied
floors
pretty
effectively.
I
I
I
E
Right
and
that's
the
other
point,
often
we
think
about
just
climbing
a
ladder
and
using
it,
for
you
know,
elevation
like
that,
but
it's
utilized
for
an
elevated
stream.
If
you
would
consider
a
commercial
occupancy
that
you
know
it's
unsafe
to
put
people
in
now,
whatever
it's
been
compromised,
that
elevated
stream
is,
you
know
equally
as
important
as
any
anything
else
that
you
can
you
can
now.
You
know
reach
that
from
the
top,
without
putting
people
in
there.
So.
A
E
A
E
F
Okay,
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second
to
award
the
purchase
contract
to
rev
rtc
of
ocala
florida
for
a
2021
e1
hp,
76
foot,
aluminum
aerial
ladder
truck
any
further
discussion.
All
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
motion
to
prove
unanimously.
Thank
you.
Okay,
we
have
no
unfinished
business.
A
new
business
temporary
use
permit
tu001,
2021
overflow
parking
at
1000
west
marion
avenue
good
morning.
S
So
the
proposal
would
add
approximately
140
informal
spaces,
there's
going
to
be
no
improvements,
it's
existing
grass
they're
not
requesting
to
put
any
wheel,
stops
or
other
improvements
at
this
time
requesting
18
months
and
the
potential
to
come
back
and
have
an
18-month
extension
if
needed.
The
picture
shows
the
existing
site
conditions.
S
So
this
is
a
conceptual
plan.
Again
no
improvements
are
are
proposed.
This
would
be
what
the
layout
could
potentially
be
for
parking
for.
This
is
the
schematic
provided
by
the
applicant,
so
there's
a
driveway
access
on
marion
avenue,
which
is
about
345
feet
from
the
military
or
the
impact
property,
there's
also
a
driveway
on
west
reda.
S
That
is
approximately
235
linear
feet
from
say.
The
tidal
creek
bridge
into
fisherman's
village.
The
site
surface
is
grass.
There
is
a
small
asphalt
area
up
by
the
marion
avenue
side,
there's
some
potential
obstacles
and
obstructions.
Of
course,
the
the
fence.
That's
around
the
retention
pond,
there's
a
little
retaining
wall.
S
We
would
not
permit
any
modifications
to
the
existing
surface.
No
shell,
gravel
rock
pavers,
asphalt
or
concrete
unless
they
want
to
formalize
this
and
then
go
through
the
development
review
process.
Additional
conditions
of
approval.
These
were
brought
up
at
our
drc.
Meeting
building
code
requirements
require
new
six
additional
ada
accessible
parking
spots.
S
The
building
official
is
willing
to
work
with
them.
Maybe
some
can
go
on
the
marion
avenue
side
where
the
there
is
a
little
bit
of
asphalt.
That's
that
is
already
there.
They
can
recondition
that
portion
of
it
they
might
be
able
to
get
two
or
three
accessible
spots,
and
since
this
is
temporary,
he
would
allow
additional
spots
at
900,
west,
marion
avenue
or
at
1200
west
red,
a
fisherman's
village
site
and
the
fire
marshal
is
requiring
installing
traffic
rated
bollards
in
front
or
around
the
electrical.
K
K
S
Yeah,
the
the
building
officials
said
they
can
split
it
between
either
the
fisherman's
village
property
and
the
military
heritage
museum
property.
They
can
split
that
up
the
existing
it's.
I
know
it's
hard
to
see
in
the
small
drawing,
but
there
is
a
a
little
concrete
there
there's
existing
parking
there,
there's
probably
four
or
five
spaces,
I'm
I
I
couldn't
get
a
real
good
picture.
S
They
would
have
access
to
get
on
the
sidewalk
to
get
to
military
heritage
museum
and
I
believe
the
applicant
can
state
if
they
do
put
some
on
this
site,
where
the
existing
concrete
is.
They
would
have
shuttle
service
like
their
golf
cart
shuttle
service
to
take
people
to
either
the
military
heritage,
museum
or
back
to
fisherman's
village.
Okay,.
D
F
T
T
A
A
Property,
that's
what
I
said:
it's
not
city
property,
but
anyone
can
sue
the
city
for
anything.
It
seems
like
so
because
people
are
looking
at
our
our
monthly
litigation
report
and
seeing
some
of
what
is
perceived
to
be
frivolous
lawsuits,
and
so
they
were.
The
question
was
asked,
so
I
have
to
ask
the
question.
T
We
carry
full
general
liability,
obviously
on
all
our
properties,
we,
it
would
be
no
different
than
people
parking
on
the
grass
anywhere
else.
This
is
not
designed
for
the
summer
time
when
we
have
our
rains,
we'll
put
our
employees
back
where,
where
we
have
plenty
of
parking
in
the
summer.
This
is
just
really
for
three
months.
Three,
four
months.
A
And
the
other
question
I
was
asked
is
that
I
know
that
on
vacant
property
we're
required
to
to
keep
the
ground
covered
with
grass
or
something
so
because
it's
a
parking
it
could
could
I'm
not
saying
it
will,
because
you're
saying
it
might
be
just
employees
a
lot
of
you
know,
traffic
on
it
and
it
could
wear
off
the
grass,
and
so
it
was.
What
are
the
plans
to
make
sure
that
we
maintain
that
there's
grass
on
it
and
it
doesn't
become
like
in
the
wet
season?
They.
A
T
We
will
again
designed
for
now
I'm
hoping
in
march,
where
it's
going
to
be
crazy
and
everything's
going
to
go
nuts,
but
I
doubt
it
with
covet
by
putting
the
employees
from
where
they're
parking
now
in
the
lot
next
to
five
star
and
they're
they're
a
lot
bringing
them
over
there.
That
would
open
up
five
star
for
most
of
we
call
it
five
star.
T
Well,
that
is
a
very,
very
good
question
and
with
covid
has
put
us
behind,
as
it
has
many
developers,
especially
the
big
one
across
the
street
or
across
the
river.
So
there
are
plans
developed
to
develop
that
and
that's
why
we
purchased
it.
We
did
not
purchase
it
for
a
parking
lot,
so
there
are
plans
to
develop
it,
which
will
come
back
to
you.
T
H
F
Yeah,
okay,
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
to
approve
the
temporary
use
permit
for
overflow
parking
at
1000
west
marion
avenue,
with
the
conditions
recommended
by
staff
any
further
discussion.
All
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed
motion
carries
unanimously.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
right
and
next
we
have
participation
in
the
2021
state
legislative
session.
F
So
I
this
is
our
only
opportunity
to
talk
about
it.
So
that's
why
I
thought
it
would
be
a
good
thing
to
put
it
on
the
agenda
and
to
share
that
document
with
all
of
you,
so
that
you
would
understand
what
was
going
on,
and
I
know
that
rachel
kiesling
said
she
is
not
planning
on
going
to
tallahassee
and
if
rachel's
not
going,
I'm
not
going.
F
I
mean
rachel's
been
going
to
that
conference
for
many
years
and
I
have
to
believe
that
she
knows
what
she's
talking
about
she
was.
You
know
she
was
right
up
in
the
thick
of
things
for
the
longest
time,
so
I
just
wanted
to
mention
it
to
all
of
you,
because
this
is
the
time
we
would
be
planning
if
anybody
was
going
to
go,
but
they
have.
They
basically
have
asked
council
members
to
not
plan
on
going
to
tallahassee.
So.
A
Yeah,
I
I
think
that's
a
great
idea
having
gone
last
year,
I
know
joha's
gone
it's,
it
is
a
when
it
when
it's
in
full
session,
a
zoo
and
the
space.
Is
it's
crowded?
It's
just
it's
it's
crazy
and
we
have
a
wonderful
lobbyist
in
jerry,
paul
who's
so
well
connected
with
all
of
the
the
legislature.
I
I
think
that
we're
well
positioned
with
him
being
there
to
represent
us.
A
F
Yeah-
and
we
have-
we
have
a
really
good
connection
with
senator
all
britain
this
year
because
he's
now
on
the
the
water
committee-
and
he
has
made
a
commitment
to
us
that
he
wanted
well,
he
strongly
recommended.
We
add
the
amount
of
a
lot
more
money
to
what
our
allocation
request
was
for
the
boca
grand
project.
So
we
did
do
that
when
we
filled
out
the
documents,
so
hopefully
he'll
push
that
through.
I
know
that
water
quality
is
one
of
the
main
things
that
they're
going
to
be
talking
about
this
year.
F
We
also
know
that
budget
money
is
going
to
be
really
tight
because
of
covet
and
people
not
spending
money,
and
you
know
even
things
as
like:
the
gas
tax
and
stuff.
When
people
aren't
traveling
we're
seeing
a
lot
less
funds
available
for
a
lot
of
different
pots
of
money,
but
but
he
did
say
that
he
would.
He
would
do
whatever
he
could
to
try
to
get
us
some
money
for
that
project.
Yes,.
K
I
also
feel
that
this
is
probably
one
of
the
best
years
for
this
to
have
happened
to
us,
in
that
we
don't
really
have
that
many
crucial
things
that
we
are
talking
to
people
about
and
the
person
that
we
need
to
talk
to
is
right
here
in
our
area
and
we
we
have
a
good
relationship
with
senator
albritton.
So
I
think
I
think,
in
an
abundance
of
caution,
and
even
you
know,
to
get
bang
for
our
buck.
I'm
not
sure
would
be
worth
our
money
to
send
somebody
yeah.
F
And
and
as
nancy
said,
we
can
always
contact
jerry
paul
and
he
can
he
can
give
us
advice
or
direction
if
there's
anything
that
needs
to
be
done.
So
I
think
I
think,
we're
in
a
very
good
position
since
we
you're
right.
We
only
have
one
thing
that
we
put
on
our
agenda
this
year.
So
I
think
I
think
this
is
a
perfect
time
to
not
have
to
make
that
trip
and
and
clog
up
the
hallways
of
of
the
legislature.
I
I
Government
life-
I'm
sure
he
won't
be
not
working
just
not
working
here,
unless
we
really
need
him,
which
we
probably
will.
But
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
we
recognized
all
the
effort
that
he's
put
in
and
as
we
go
around
the
city
and
we
look
at
a
lot
of
things
or
a
lot
of
the
complaints
that
have
been
resolved.
A
lot
of
that,
if
not
most,
was
because
of
the
work
that
he's
done
in
the
public
works
capacity
and
how
he's
helped
the
city
move
forward
during
his
tenure.
I
So
not
only
is
mark
here
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
recognized
him
and
and
that
he
knows
how
much
we
appreciate
what
he's
done,
but
he's
also
helped
bring
in
someone
that
will
be
working
in
his
stead.
That
has
already
had
his
name
on
some
emails
that
went
out
and
already
stirring
up
trouble.
So
we
wanted
to
welcome.
Welcome
in
also.
F
D
I
If
you
wouldn't
mind
introducing
him,
and
if
you
have
anything
you'd
like
to
say
please,
we
certainly
appreciate
what
you've
done
for
the
city
and
all
the
work
that
you've
put
in
and
wish
you
well
and
we
were
going
to
get
something
like
a
mask
with
our
name
on
it.
But
we'd
have
to
go
to
you
to
do
that.
U
Good
morning,
mark
gehring
city
engineer
soon
I'll
be
retiring.
This
friday
and
it's
been
a
wonderful
14
years
here.
I've
worked
with
nancy
since
the
very
beginning
came
on
board
here.
First
couple
of
projects
where
the
downtown
flooding
mitigation
for
those
of
you
who
weren't
here
many
years
ago,
when
the
border
used
to
flood
on
every
afternoon
rain,
we
worked
the
first
section
of
the
harbor
walk,
getting
it
under
41
northbound.
U
D.O.T
insisted
that
we
couldn't
go
under
that
bridge
and
when
we
accomplished
that
we
had
many
other
communities
around
us
calling
us
for
information,
the
veterans
wall
project
that
was
just
a
tremendous
project
to
be
part
of
I
live
on
the
other
side
of
the
bridge.
I
come
across
the
bridge,
it's
just
so
wonderful
to
see
that
I've
been
part
of
many
of
those
different
projects,
and
it's
all
not
me.
Of
course.
It's
the
team
public
works
team
that
I
have
in
the
urban
design
team.
We've
all
come
together.
U
U
I
have
counterparts
at
the
county
and
I
always
hear
about
their
projects
going
over
budget
way
over
budget
on
a
lot
of
their
projects
that
I've
seen
and
we
don't.
We
haven't
had
that
problem
here
at
the
city
and
I'm
very
proud
of
that.
So
today
I
brought
with
us
brian
clemens.
I
came
to
the
city
many
years
ago.
U
It's
it's
such
a
great
job,
because,
unlike
an
engineer
at
the
county
where
you
are
assigned
to
drainage
or
bridges
or
whatever
it
might
be
here,
the
engineer
is
assigned
to
everything
and
that's
really
been
something.
That's
kept
me
here
with
the
city
for
14
years
prior
to
the
city.
My
longest
job
was
three
years.
That
was
the
us
army.
I
didn't
have
an
option
of
quitting
there,
so
I
thank
you
all
very
much
for
the
14
years.
F
I
A
Welcome
very
much
welcome.
I
just
would
like
to
make
a
comment.
Yes,
I
just
would
like
to
thank
mark
for
all
of
the
that
he's
done.
It's
been
a
pleasure
working
with
you
mark,
both
as
a
community
volunteer
and
as
a
council
member
you've
been
very
helpful
to
me
when
I've
had
lots
of
questions
from
from
residents.
I
do
appreciate
all
of
your
your
help
and
and
just
collaboration,
so
thank
you.
I
Just
that
I
am
working
on
some
things
as
far
as
preparation
for
the
budget,
different
things
we'll
be
discussing,
and
also
later
this
month
or
early
next
month.
I
plan
on
giving
the
update
we
discussed
during
the
first
180
days,
if
you
will
and
some
of
the
things
that
we
see
where
we
are
and
we're,
given
our
current
circumstances,
where
we'll
need
to
be
going
as
we
shift
into
a
new
phase
of
moving
things
forward
and
getting
things
done
in
the
city
to
accomplish
the
goals
that
she
said.
I
S
Had
a
chance
to
talk
to
the
city,
manager
or
anything
would
come
back
to
council
anytime.
We
have
a
street
closure
request.
I
haven't
had
the
opportunity
to
start
looking
at
putting
something
in
the
ordinance
and
in
the
event
manual
where
it
limits
street
closures
to
one
or
two
per
year.
So
but
any
any
street
closure
request
will
come
back
to
council
for
review.
S
F
F
F
City
manager
has
photos
that
he
took
from
the
top
of
the
parking
garage
and
he
can
share
those
with
you,
but
it
they
did
not
follow
social
distancing
protocols
and
there
was
a
lot,
not
very
many
masks
in
sight.
So
I
think
we
need
to
do
something
about
that
before
we
any
other
events
happen,
and
I
do
think
we
should
be
very
firm
about
when
we
give
an
approval
for
an
event
request
that
they
must
follow
those
rules
or
they
may
not
get
another
permit
in
the
future
that
we
can
enforce
absolutely.
C
And
I
think
that
we
can
put
into
an
ordinance
that
a
permit
for
an
event
with
specific
conditions
will
require
compliance
with
those
conditions
and
that
the
failure
to
comply
with
those
conditions
could
be
a
code
enforcement
violation.
That
would
require
some
tweaking
of
of
an
existing
ordinance.
In
order
to
make
that
happen
and
with
respect
to
enforcement
of
the
safety
protocols
that
wouldn't
necessarily
be
a
violation
of
the
governor's
order,
because
in
essence,
we're
enforcing
a
permit
that
were
that
was
issued.
C
F
I
think
we
need
to
that
was
on
that
was
on
public
property,
but
you
know
I
mean
we've
got
to
keep
people
safe,
that's
my
biggest
concern
and
what
we
don't
want
to
have
is
a
crowd
spreader.
I
mean
we
just
don't
that
we
can't
afford
to
have
that
in
our
city,
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
events
coming
up
in
the
next
few
months.
Q
I
C
Well-
and
it's
not
an
academic,
only
question
I
mean
we
I'm
guessing
that
most
of
the
event
permits
that
we
grant
for
use
of
city
property
have
conditions
that
need
to
be
met,
and
hopefully,
there's
been
no
need
to
enforce
violations
of
those
conditions
in
the
past.
But
obviously
it
would
require
odd
presence
inspectors
of
some
sort,
particularly
for
a
large
crowd
and
to
add
to
the
potential
penalty
that
that
could
be
created
for
a
violation
of
those
of
the
permit
conditions.
C
We
could
also
put
into
the
ordinance-
and
this
would
be
something
that
you
would
consider
when
you
consider
the
draft
ordinance-
that
if
there
is
a
violation
of
some
sort
you
can
you
can
indicate
what
the
baseline
would
be.
That
would
prevent
the
applicant
from
having
another
event
permit
for
a
given
period
of
time
as
a
penalty.
D
C
Litigation
mr
glecko
finally
did
file
his
reply
brief
in
the
right
court.
So
now
the
second
district
court
of
appeal
is
considering
all
the
briefs
and
we're
simply
awaiting
the
court's
decision.
In
that
case,
there's
nothing
further
for
us
to
do
with
respect
to
the
295
billion
court
forfeiture
on
on
january
15th,
the
court
issued
its
judgment
in
favor
of
the
city.
C
C
The
parties
are
still
proceeding
towards
the
the
discovery.
Phase
of
the
litigation
of
the
shoreline
is
requested
number
of
documents,
a
great
number
of
documents
from
the
city,
and
we
have
requested
documents
from
shoreline.
Those
documents
help
each
side
prepare
for
a
trial
we
have.
We
are
still
putting
together
the
information
to
respond
to
shoreline's
request.
C
D
F
L
F
F
I
told
karen
about
it
and
karen
smith,
our
city
clerk,
actually
volunteered
to
serve
on
this
committee
and
greg,
and
I
spoke
about
it
and
karen
and
I
spoke
about
it
and
they
both
feel
that
it
would
be
in
the
best
interest
of
the
city
to
have
karen
go
and
represent
us
on
this
committee.
So
if
no
one
has
any
objections,
I
would
like
to
offer
that
she
would
like
to
take
that
seat.
K
I
have
a
concern-
and
it's
not
questioning
karen's
ability
to
do
this
at
all.
It's
that
I
would
think
that,
with
the
redistribution
of
city
hall,
staff
to
other
locations
and
all
the
other
things
that
were
going
to
be
going
on
starting
in
the
spring,
I'm
a
little
worried
about
taking
her
out
of
the
office.
F
Only
going
to
be
four
because
well
there's
four
in-person
meetings
which
are
going
to
be
the
actual
committee
meetings
and
then
each
person
on
the
committee
was
asked
to
serve
on
an
ad
hoc
committee.
There's
two
ad
hoc
committees
and
they're
going
to
do
those
virtually
okay,
so
she
would
be
able
to
do
those
from
her
office
wherever
her
office
is
at
that
point
she
actually
offered
because
she
has
background
in
this
field
and
in
working
with
hud
grants
and
different
things
of
that
nature.
So
she
asked
if
she
could
be
on
on
that
seat.
F
So
I'm
comfortable
with
it
as
long
as
everybody
else
is,
and-
and
if
that's
the
case,
then
we
will
notify
the
caab
people
and
she
can
start
going
to
the
meetings.
I've
already
copied
her
on
two
emails.
I
got
on
monday
from
them,
so
she
can
start
getting
up
to
speed,
assuming
that
this
was
going
to
happen.
So
anybody
have
any
any
comments
to
the
contrary
about
it:
everybody,
okay,
with
her
taking
that
seat.

For
reports
and
committees
under
vacancies,
we
have
two
alternate
seats
on
the
board
of
zoning
appeals,
an
alternate
seat
on
the
building
board,
intercede
on
the
utility
advisory
board
and
then
under
nominations.
We
have
one
seat
on
the
code
enforcement
board.
Mr
roland
erickson
has
expressed
an
interest
in
serving
if
you
would
like,
you
may
choose
to
nominate
and
appoint
him
at
this
time.
D

F

F

Okay,
under
policy
and
legislation,
we've
already
talked
about
most
of
the
things
I
had
on
my
list.
Just
a
reminder.
We
have
we're
going
back
into
do
the
right
thing
starting
this
week,
so
on
thursday,
at
3
p.m.
At
the
military
heritage,
museum
we'll
be
doing
the
february.
Do
the
right
thing,
and
I
hope
you
can
all
join
us
there.
F
K
Okay,
at
our
last
council
meeting,
you
asked
for
us
to
share
things
from
our
assigned
board
meetings,
and
so
I
thought,
while
mine
are
fresh
in
my
mind,
I-
and
this
is
a
relatively
short
meeting-
that
I
would
do
it
now
thursday
january
28th.
I
took
part
in
the
chanep
policy
meeting
at
this
time.
We
were
told
that
chanep
has
been
fully.
K
There
are
currently
28
estuaries
of
federal,
designation
in
the
united
states
and
charlotte
harbor
is
proud
to
be.
One
of
those
chanep
currently
covers
10
counties
and
25
cities.
So
what
funding
we
get
goes
a
long
way
and
it
goes
towards
all
sorts
of
things.
It's
not
just
harbor
projects.
It's
flatwoods,
it's
beach,
restoration.
K
K
K
My
second
meeting
was
the
next
day
at
the
punta
garda
housing
authority
meeting
and
as
this
was
my
first
meeting
with
this
particular
housing
group,
I
had
a
little
bit
of
catching
up
to
do,
but
I
will
say
overall,
I
came
away
with
the
fact
that
I
don't
know
of
any
other
government
or
private
entity
that
has
as
many
loops
to
jump
through
and
eyes
to
dot
and
t's
to
cross,
as
are
our
federally
funded
housing
programs
and
they
do
it
smoothly
and
without
any
glitches.
It's
just
been
amazing.
F
A
A
This
is
the
first
time
they've
had
this
tournament,
so
that
that
championship
is
today
out
at
the
pickleplex
and
then
the
actual
tournament
starts
tomorrow
and
goes
through
sunday,
and
the
professional
champions
will
be
awarded
on
sunday,
and
so
it's
a
very
exciting
event
for
to
have
here
in
in
charlotte
county
in
ponte,
gorda
and
bringing
lots
of
visitors
and
including
the
athletes
into
this
community
and
is
the
economic
impact
of
this
is
well
over
a
million
dollars.
It's
big.
So
it's
very
exciting.
