Description
Regular City Council Meeting 5-5-2021
B
B
B
I
can
appreciate
that
you
will
deal
in
that
committee
with
many
types
of
donations
that
come
into
the
city,
and
my
background
is:
oh,
my
family
business.
We
had
an
auction
company
and
all
these
things
would
come
in
and
we
had
to
sort
through
them
and
find
value
on
them
and
and
give
starting
prices,
and
you
know
reasonable
selling
prices,
and
we
did
that
for
many
years
and
more
recently
here
in
this
city.
B
Many
of
you
know
that
I
have
worked
with
the
veterans
in
the
area
and
up
off
of
veterans
parkway
we
have
in
the
sun
flea
market,
we
have
nine
booths
up
there
and
donations
that
come
in.
They
either
come
in
up
there
or
they
come
into
the
village
and
for
whatever
reason,
if
the
veterans
can't
use
them,
we
take
them
up
there
and
again,
we
have
to
sort
through
them
and
determine
value,
and
we
put
them
out
for
a
suggested
donation.
B
So
I've
been
involved
with
things
coming
in
doing
research
determining
value,
and
that
would
be
a
benefit.
I
would
think
in
this
position
and
then
also
I
am
on
the
board
at
the
military
heritage,
museum
and
the
history
of
this
particular
city
I
cross
many
times
and
have
learned
not
only
military
history
but
the
history
of
our
city,
and
I
love
the
city,
and
I
just
want
to
add
it
to
the
things
that
I
do.
C
C
You
know
usable,
it's
unaccessible
and
it's
just
you
know
constant
standing
water
and
there's
a
new
house
going
up
in
the
right
hand
corner
of
my
property-
that's
quite
large.
It's
about
ten
thousand
square
feet
of
unpermeable
surface
and
again,
with
the
fill
height
and
the
size
of
that
property.
It's
just
going
to
add.
C
C
I
did
send
an
email
like
I
said.
I
have
a
couple
of
solutions
that
I
did
present
and
to
see.
If
the
council
would
be
willing
to
assist,
you
know
sharing
the
cost
of
the
project.
That's
going
to
need
to
be
done.
I'm
sorry!
What
street
was
that?
Please
it's
724
west
olympia
avenue.
So
it's
the
block,
olympia,
berry,
chastain,
okay
and
then
there's
the
trebu
avenue
the
alleyway,
okay,
okay,.
D
You,
okay,
and
actually
that's
one
of
the
places,
that's
olympia,
buried
to
chasteen
that
we
know
there's
some
flooding
things.
That's
I
believe
that
was
brought
up
at
last
council
meeting
and
actually
we
had
one
previous
meeting
with
the
property
owners
to
look
at
solutions.
So
it's
something
that
we
have
on
the
radar
for
upcoming
discussions.
It's
just
not
an
easy
solution.
It's
not
us!
D
A
D
This
is
to
city
council,
of
course,
dear
council
members
and
mr
murray,
the
historic
punta
gorda

association's

is

the
city's
unique
heritage
while
continuing
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
in
historic,
puna
gorda.
I'm

on
behalf
of
the

This
fifth
day
of
may
2021
city
of
pentagon
florida
signed
lynn,
matthews
mayor.
A
A
A
So
I'd
like
to
just
say
thank
you
to
all
that
participated
in
this
year's
citizens
academy
in
this
trying
time.
I'm
sure
it
was
a
little
more
difficult
to
try
to
do
it,
and
I
thank
all
the
city
staff
for
all
of
their
work
to
get
it
done
and
make
sure
that
we
had
a
seamless
year
of
academy
classes
and
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
all
the
graduates
by
name.
So
if
you
are
in
the
room-
and
your
name
is
called-
please
stand,
there
may
be
one
or
two
of
you
back
there,
I'm
not
sure.
A
So
thank
you
to
all
who
completed
the
course
and
congratulations
on
completing
it.
I
hope
you
found
that
you
learned
a
lot
about
the
city
and
the
the
way
our
city
works
and
I
encourage
any
resident
who
may
be
watching
today
to
to
go
through
the
citizens
academy.
It's
a
wonderful
program
and
you
do
learn
an
awful
lot
about
the
inner
workings
of
the
city
departments.
So
congratulations
to.
A
All
and
you
will
be
receiving
a
certificate
of
completion
for
the
course
okay.
Next
we
have
introduction
of
board
and
committee
nominees.
If
there's
anyone
else
in
the
audience
that
would
like
to
introduce
themselves
to
the
council.
As
a
committee
nominee,
please
come
to
the
podium
and
you
have
three
minutes:
okay,
seeing
none!
We
will
adjourn
as
city
council
and
reconvene
as
the
community
redevelopment
agency.
G
A
A
F
D
A
D
Yeah
brad
that
might
need
a
button
push
to
get
rid
of
that
you're
listening.
Yes,
so
our
municipal
marina
activity,
you
can
see
between
20
and
21.
It
was
very
close.
Our
annual
rentals
were
37,
our
monthlies
were
18
down
very
slightly,
and
our
commercials,
of
course,
are
staying
steady
mainly
with
the
book
club
at
14.
D
And,
of
course
we
had
you
can
see
when
you
go
across
the
bridge
or
you
look
out
from
the
marina
that
there's
some
moorings
out
there.
Thank
you
and
then,
of
course,
our
community
room
we've
had
some
activity
in
the
community
room,
not
the
least
of
which
is
the
pickleball
board,
using
that
as
a
meeting
location.
Also,
so
we
have
had
some
consistent
activity
at
the
marina
and
it
looks
like
we'll
be
able
to
get
started
on
the
repairs
that
we
need
now
in
the
coming
months,
since
the
contractor
submitted
insurance
requirements,
etc.
D
So
we're
pleased
to
be
able
to
provide
that
service.
A
couple
updates
on
some
of
the
projects,
the
harborwalk
berry
street,
tidal
bridge
lighting,
the
concept
plan
that
was
done
by
public
works.
You
can
see
the
little
red
x
type
indicators
that
there
are
five
lights.
They
originally
thought
that
there
would
only
be
able
to
be
four,
but
they
worked
it
out,
so
they
could
actually
get
five
in
there
on
an
existing
circuit.
D
So
we're
looking
now
at
getting
the
installation
complete
for
five
that
comes
down
from
the
bridge.
You
can
see
the
black
crosses
in
the
center
of
the
red
x's.
Those
are
basically
site
lighting,
ornamental
lighting
that
lights
up
that
area.
So
when
we
get
down
to
the
fifth
one
closer
to
the
boat
club
area,
it
looks
like
we
get
within
about
180
feet
of
some
of
the
street
lights
that
are
down
there
and
we'll
see
what
that
does
once
we
get
it
installed.
D
If,
for
some
reason,
we
still
need
a
little
more
light
going
the
end
towards
the
harbor
wall,
the
larger
portion
of
the
harbor
wall,
then
we'll
do
a
small
change
order
to
the
contract
when
we're
doing
the
parking
and
such
and
just
have
a
couple.
Additional
lights
installed
up
that
way,
but
that
should
be
a
major
improvement
on
that
section
coming
down
from
the
bridge,
and
we
look
forward
to
getting
that
installed
and
seeing
how
that
works
out.
D
D
D
Be
a
good
addition
to
that
group
to
help
as
we
move
forward
they're,
also
hoping,
as
I
said,
to
get
that
finished
this
week,
so
that
we
can
bring
that
in
and
get
that
contract
awarded
in
the
upcoming
weeks
and
get
that
moving
so
that
contract
will
be
upwards
of
12
months.
So
we're
looking
at
total
design
for
all
components
of
the
project
early
next
year,
hopefully
being
able
to
go
to
construction
with
that
during
early
22.
D
B
D
D
The
historic
neighborhood
initiative
with
fpl
they
did
actually
get
all
the
new
led
fixtures
installed.
So
the
significance
of
that
is
not
just
new
lights
and
power
saving
because
they're
led.
But
these
light
fixtures
are
designed
to
really
put
more
light
where
it's
needed
and
reduce
light
pollution,
which
is
a
good
thing
in
the
neighborhood.
D
D
So
as
well
as
a
couple
of
the
other
issues
that
were
discussed
at
our
last
meeting,
we've
had
some
movement
on
several
things.
So
we
appreciate
that
when
we
look
at
harold
court
center,
the
water
damage
that
was
where
the
former
subway
was
located,
everyone's
familiar
with,
where
that
was
that's
been
repaired.
D
Like
that
bugs
around
me
pavers,
we
actually
have
had
movement
on
that.
That's
a
topic
of
conversation.
Each
month
I
mean
each
week
as
we
move
that
forward.
There
were
originally
some
questions
about
the
placement
of
some
of
the
bricks
at
the
purple
heart
memorial
and
that's
now
been
resolved.
So
we
have
a
contractor
that
we've
signed
to
install
the
purple
heart
bricks
and
also
then
install
the
remaining
bricks
in
the
location
that
was
selected
right
now.
D
We're
trying
to
find
out
if
he'll
be
able
to
complete
all
of
it
before
memorial
day
or
just
the
purple
heart
section,
because
what
we
don't
want
is
to
be
half
finished
with
the
other
section
when
there's
a
large
event
there.
So,
if
he's
unable
to
complete
it
all,
then
we'll
just
complete
the
one
section
and
have
the
other
section
of
course
marked
off,
so
we
can
complete
that
as
soon
as
the
ceremonies
are
finished.
A
D
Found
somebody
we
also
have
the
engraving
there
were,
I
believe
it
was
100
and
a
few
bricks
that
needed
to
be
engraved,
and
I
know
jen
spent
a
lot
of
time
making
sure
all
that
you
know
each
line
was
not
only
correct,
but
there
were
some
typos
and
different
things
that
you
know
they
engraved
what
you
give
them.
So
she
made
sure
all
that
was
in
shape
so
that
we
could
get
that
out,
and
we
have
that
now
in
the
works.
Also.
D
I
can
fgcu,
of
course,
their
lease
is
now
complete.
They
came
to
us
and
said
that
there
were
substantial
challenges
because
they
of
covet
they
had
to
do
everything
online.
Their
revenues
were
essentially
down
to
nothing,
for
you
know:
in-person
classroom
space,
they
had
three
large
classrooms,
plus
their
administrative
areas
and
such
in
the
one
section
of
the
hill
court
center
and
none
of
that
space
was
being
used.
D
So
there
was
nothing
that
gave
them
a
revenue
stream
sustainably
to
maintain
that
space,
so
they
were
going
virtual,
all
online
courses
temporarily
and
then
would
determine
if
they
were
going
to
open
an
in-person
campus
on
one
of
the
existing
campuses.
Not
in
this
location.
They
just
didn't
need
that
type
of
space.
So,
given
the
fact
that
we
do-
and
they
don't,
we
had
our
people
go
down
and
look
at
the
space
and
redesign
it
in
a
way
that
we
can
accommodate
our
complete
finance
department
and
our
complete
city
clerk's
office.
D
So
we
have
all
that
worked
out
now
as
we're
able
to
work
in
that
space
and
get
it
reconfigured
for
staff.
It'll.
Give
us
the
opportunity,
during
design
of
these
structures,
to
go
ahead
and
move
staff
into
those
locations.
Just
given
the
condition
of
the
interior
of
city
hall
now
and
some
of
the
staff
locations
that
are
occupied,
we
can
get
them
out
of
there
so
that
those
locations
can
start
to
be
cleaned
up
and
in
preparation
for
construction
in
those
spaces.
So
I
was
fortunate
with
some
of
the
money.
D
As
far
as
our
electric
and
our
utilities
and
such
we'll
be
able
to
provide
that
revenue
source
to
continue
that
until
the
total
complex
is
upgraded,
there
was
some
concept
that
they
could
try
to
rebuild
this
structure
and
once
the
structure
was
rebuilt,
we
could
move
staff
into
there
out
of
the
other
structure
and
then
try
to
rebuild
that
structure
and
then
move
staff
back
into
there
and
then
reconfigure.
This
structure
after
we've
moved
staff
and
configured
that
structure,
and
you
know
it
went
on
and
on
so
this
really
takes
care
of.
D
The
whole
situation
gives
us
a
really
good
opportunity
to
get
staff
in
a
a
good
location
that
gives
them
enough
space
and
the
entrances
egress
ingress
egress
for
the
general
public
in
a
good
location
that
they
can
actually
work
in
when
they're
finished.
With
that,
as
we'll
talk
about
in
a
little
bit
when
we
talk
about
economic
development,
there's
other
opportunities
we
have
and
we
have
to
decide
what
we
would
want
to
do
with
that
space,
then
we
can
put
it
back
out
for
lease.
D
There's
been
some
initiatives
that
have
been
talked
about
before
for
the
small
business
administration,
score
chambers,
business
incubators,
all
kinds
of
different
things
that
you
know
our
concepts
to
support
our
1100
small
businesses
that
we
have
in
the
city,
hopefully
1102
soon,
but
there's
all
kinds
of
different
concepts.
That
will
also
give
us
time
to
flesh
out,
as
we
move
forward,
to
decide
what
we
really
want
to
use
that
space,
for
it
is
a
very
good
location
in
you
know
the
center
of
our
our
city,
so
there's
opportunity
there
also.
L
G
A
A
A
H
Yes-
and
this
is
a
resolution
which
I'll
read
by
title-
only
a
resolution
of
the
city
council,
the
city
of
punta
gorda,
florida,
assigning
certain
city
officers
and
employees
with
the
duty
to
promote
the
general
business
and
industrial
interests
of
the
city
and
to
maintain
certain
information
confidential
and
exempt
from
the
provisions
of
section
119.07,
parens,
1
florida
statutes
and
article
1,
section,
24
friend,
1
florida
constitution.
Pursuant
to
the
terms
and
conditions
and
limitations
of
section
228.075
florida
statutes
and
providing
an
effective
date.
A
D
It
helps
a
community
utilize
its
assets
and
identify
the
strategies
that
the
council
approves
that
prioritizes
and
vets,
the
concepts
for
economic
development
and
the
economic
development
functions
of
the
city,
which
would
be
exactly
what
that
is
that
group.
What's
the
name
of
the
group
as
a
function,
there
were
several
concepts
in
the
citywide
master
plan
and
other
concepts.
D
So
that
gives
us
the
opportunity,
then,
to
work
with
people
like
the
small
business
administration
with
the
chamber
and
what
they're
doing
and
gives
us
some
additional
funds
in
the
form
of
a
grant.
That
would
allow
us
to
move
those
things
forward.
So
with
that,
we
would
probably
at
that
point
talk
about.
D
It
could
be
yeah,
it
could
be
and
the
reason
I
say
that
and
that's
that's
why
I
was
saying
that
you
know
the
when
you
look
at
the
state
ordinance.
It
says
in
the
state
statute,
in
the
absence
of
a
specific
formal
group
that
we
would
have
you
can
create
this
resolution
and
allow
people
to
do
that
and
remain
confidential.
D
F
H
G
D
M
M
We
just
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
I
will
let
the
board
know
at
our
meeting,
which
is
tomorrow
and
I'm
sure
they
will
be
equally
as
thrilled,
and
I
even
without
speaking
with
them.
I
can
tell
you
that
we
very
much
look
forward
to
working
with
you
if
there's
any
way
that
the
edp
can
assist
you
in
moving
in
identifying
and
moving
forward
with
your
economic
development
goals,
we're
here
to
assist
and
we're
very
happy
that
you
are
thinking
in
those
kinds
of
terms,
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
is
there
any
other
comments
before
we
move
on?
Okay,
okay,
the
next
we
have
the
consent
agendas.
Oh
I'm
sorry,
yeah.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
on
the
floor
to
approve
the
resolution.
Is
there
any
further
discussion?
All
of
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed
motion
carries
unanimously.
A
A
A
H
Yes,
this
is
a
resolution
which
I'll
read
by
title.
Only
a
resolution
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
punta
gorda
florida
approving
a
developer's
agreement
with
lp
promotions,
llc
for
a
wastewater
forced
main
extension
along
riverside
drive
authorizing
the
mayor
to
sign
the
agreement
and
providing
an
effective
date.
K
A
N
D
If
I
could
add
to
that,
some
there's
a
couple
things
that
the
lift
station
that
steve
was
talking
about,
I
believe,
that's
lift
station
183.
It
was
it
that
has
been
sitting
there
all
these
years,
1200
gallon
a
minute
station.
We
have
a
little
over
10
percent
utilized,
and
so
we
have
that
large
piece
of
infrastructure
sitting
there
waiting
for
development
of
our
service
area
and
we
haven't
had
the
surface
area
development.
This
force
main
there's
a
10
inch
stub
there.
D
D
Looking
at
our
trade
journals,
it
seems
that
with
the
water
quality
initiative
and,
of
course,
these
being
in
sensitive
areas
near
the
water,
as
is
almost
everything
here,
that
there
may
be
some
initiative
to
mitigate
any
point
source
discharges
in
the
future,
meaning
that
anyone
that
might
have
that
type
of
facility
would
have
to
do
something
to
not
discharge
to
a
point.
In
receiving
waters
of
the
state,
they
would
have
to
mitigate
that
somehow,
whether
it
be
deep,
well
injection
or
connection
to
a
public
sewer.
D
So
at
some
point
this
may
be
a
very
valuable
asset
to
those
communities
to
help
offset
any
state
regulations
that
may
come
down
the
pike,
and
at
that
point
there
may
even
be
grant
funds
available
to
help
with
converting
those
plants
to
those
packaged
plants
to
a
pumping
station.
That
would
tie
right
into
the
forest
main.
D
A
F
No,
what
had
happened
is
it
was
brought
before
council.
The
same
project
was
brought
before
council
in
a
different
fashion,
and-
and
it
was
at
at
the
time,
stated
that
the
all
of
these
communities
needed
to
hook
up,
so
we
needed
there
they
were
required
to
and
that
we
were
we
needed
to
put
this
in,
and
those
communities
came
back
and
said:
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
okay,
we're
not
required
to.
F
We
have
our
own
systems
we're
not
necessarily
so
it
kind
of
didn't
go
anywhere,
but
this
this
project
has
it's
come
back
numerous
times
and
it's
it's
like.
It
keeps
coming
back
that
we
should
be
doing
this.
I
mean
it's
really
kind
of
one
of
those
things
where
at
some
point
in
time
we're
going
to
pull
the
trigger
and
do
it
and-
and
I
think
that
greg's
point
is
well
taken
on
emerging.
F
Water
quality
and,
and
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
decided
that
we're
going
to
build
a
new
wastewater
treatment
plant
because
the
the
emerging
technology,
the
technology,
will
be
there
to
help
us
support
whatever
those
requirements
are
much
more
easily
and
then,
if
we
had
a
hybrid
system,
so
you
know
we're
making
decisions
that
are
forward
thinking
decisions,
and
I
think
this
is
to
me.
This
is
just
part
of
that
forward.
D
A
And
that's
when
it
got
discussed
that
all
the
mobile
home
parks
along
the
waterfront
would
have
to
go
to
septic
from
sewer
from
septic,
and
they
were
very
very
upset
about
that,
because
in
two
cases
they
had
just
upgraded
their
septic
systems,
and
they
said
you
know
we
can't
afford
to
do
that
right
now.
So
that's
why
it
kind
of
fell
on
deaf
ears
at
that
point
in
time,
but
I
didn't
even
realize
we
had
a
lift
station
out
there
already.
A
I
don't
think
we
were
ever
told
that
so
I
think
this
is
a
very
good
thing
and
I
think
this
this
solidifies,
the
third
section
of
the
septic
to
sewer
conversion,
so
that
it
can
be
enabled-
and
I
know
that
at
some
point-
the
peace
river
botanical
gardens
wants
to
annex
into
the
city
and
also
go
on
city,
water
and
sewers.
So
this
will
hopefully
extend
our
our
city
border
borderline.
At
some
point,.
D
G
D
J
I
Excellent
good
stuff,
and
at
some
point
as
good
stewards
of
the
harbor,
we
have
to
stop
letting
sewers
septic
systems
go
in
I
mean
you
know
the
fact
that
the
county
is
permitting
hundreds
a
month
of
sewer
of
septic
tanks
with
new
construction
really
bothers
me
because
we're
supposed
to
be
getting
out
of
that
business.
So
I
think
this
is
a
wonderful
opportunity
to
show
we're
putting
our
money
where
our
mouth
is.
K
N
N
If
we
were
to
look
at
this
area
along
the
riverside
and
us-17
corridor
for
subject
to
sewer
conversion,
we
would
have
to
go
back
and
look
at
an
additional
project.
An
additional
four
span
project,
this
forest
main,
has
the
capacity
to
meet
these
needs,
and
these
needs
are
in
the
near
term.
Within
the
10-year
planning
horizon.
D
That
would
pump
into
a
force
main
at
whatever
pressure.
You
know
there
is
along
the
way,
as
as
they
connect,
which
is
a
much
more
difficult
thing.
So
what
we're
really
looking
at
for
the
residential
portion
other
than
the
septic
to
sewer
that
could
occur
with
some
of
the
commercial
entities,
and
that
already
have
infrastructure
in
place
is
to
put
a
collection
system
in
for
those
individual
residences
that
collect
at
a
point
and
then
pump
in.
So
that's
a
bit
different
than
just
having
the
house
connect
right
into
the
pressurized
main.
D
K
Probably
getting
probably
getting
beyond
my
scope
here,
but
you're
going.
To
put
I
take
it.
This
is
a
pipe
of
some
size,
that's
going
in
there
and
if
in
the
future,
you're
able
to
do
what
you're
suggesting
is
that
pipe
big
enough
to
handle
that
or
would
have
to
have
another
pipe
beside
it
to
accommodate
the
private
homes.
D
N
We've
designed
it
to
meet
the
needs
of
all
of
these
packaged
plants,
as
well
as
any
commercial
properties
that
may
be
out
there.
We
have
not
looked
at
the
total
flows,
it
would
occur
if
we
converted
all
property
to
public
shooter.
We
have
not
looked
at
that.
Even
the
jones
eben
study,
you
know,
has
indicated
that
that's
outside
of
a
10-year
planning
period.
N
D
N
D
No,
so
one
of
the
things
that
that
would
do
to
what
steve
said
is
when
you
do
size
all
those
collection
systems,
you
don't
know
exactly
where
that
ultimate
receiving
station
is
going
to
be.
It
may
be
way
down
here
where
a
short
piece
of
pipe
can
tie
into
a
pumping
station
and
it
might
not
be
at
you
know
any
location
on
this
pipe
that
you
might
upsize,
depending
on
how
the
collection
system
is
laid
out
and
used.
A
G
D
A
O
O
A
P
O
O
A
D
A
A
G
L
L
It
always
was
one
unified
neighborhood,
and
the
decision
was
made
in
1968
to
actually
do
imminent
domain
and
destroy
a
great
many
of
the
structures
in
doing
so
that
also
destroyed
the
business
district,
which
was
along
cochrane
street,
which
is
now
mlk
when
that
was
done.
That
then,
caused
the
subsequent
decay
in
the
downtown
which
we
saw
up
into
the
80s,
where
really
hurt
the
city.
So
what?
In
addition
to
providing
the
needed
expansion
for
the
museum
and
actually
providing
a
good
place
for
a
community
to
go?
L
It
also
restarts
economic
development
in
the
area,
because
several
of
the
developers
in
that
area
have
also
expressed
interest
in
also
restarting
investing,
because
in
the
past
this
was
the
arts
and
entertainment
district
of
the
city,
and
even
to
this
day
you
can
say.
Arguably
a
good
amount
of
the
the
commercial
funds
that
are
made
are
on
the
side
of
41.
But
this
was
really
to
restart
this.
Additionally,
when
it
comes
to
support
from
the
community
for
supporting
the
relocation
already,
ten
thousand
dollars
was
raised
to
augment
what
the
city
does.
L
L
We
are
as
historic
city
that
we
value
our
historic
structures
that
we
reload
this
home
and
actually,
in
addition
to
preserving
the
structure,
we
also
reinvigorate
our
downtown
business
district
because
and
again
the
funding
source
to
do
so
already
exists
and,
in
addition
to
this
funding
source,
we
have
two
additional
grants
that
we
have
a
professional
granting
firm.
That
will
be
submitting
this
in
june
to
get
this
going.
So
this
will
be
a
fully
funded
project
once
the
house
is
moved.
L
In
this,
in
this
case,
actually
asking
for
the
city
to
pay
for
the
cost
of
moving
it,
the
the
cdc
is
also
willing
to
over
over
time
and
to
to
repay
as
well.
The
most
important
thing
is
to
preserve
the
house
and
relocate
it,
and
we
have.
We
have
the
builder
who's
willing
to
donate
the
house,
and
we
also
have
the
means
that,
once
the
house
is
relocated
to
actually
bring
this
house
up
so
that
it
actually
is
it's
a
viable
institution
that
benefits
the
residents
and
contributes
to
the
economy.
A
A
F
Might
be
a
question
I
don't
know,
I
I
agree
with
john.
I
I
fully
support
preserving
the
history
of
this
community.
I
am
on
the
I'm,
a
founding
board
member
of
the
punta
gorda
history
center
and
was
the
ceo
of
team
final
quarter.
When
we
recommended,
I
recommended
to
the
board
our
board
that
we
start
a
a
history
center,
which
then
turned
into
what
is
not
today
the
pangorda
history
center.
And
what
concerns
me
about
this,
is
you
know?
F
F
We
don't
have
a
history
preservation
fund
that
we
can
draw
upon
when,
when
needed,
to
to
move
homes,
pay
for
something
like
this
and
and
there
are
lots
of
houses
in
our
community
that,
if
we
were
put
in
the
position
of
we
are
the
responsible
party,
that's
kind
of
puts
the
city
in
a
real
awkward
position.
In
my
opinion-
and
so
I
I
don't
know
that
I'm
willing
to
say
that
we
have
that
fiduciary
responsibility
on
all
of
this.
G
F
F
We
we
actually,
as
a
city
council,
spent
over
two
hundred
thousand
dollars,
remodeling
the
properties
on
east
virginia
that
they
bernice
russell
cdc
owns,
and
there
were
four
businesses,
four
spaces,
four
businesses
and,
and
they
couldn't
make
a
go
of
it.
So
the
city
paid
the
money
to
convert
those
into
affordable
housing.
F
I
don't
think
we've
been
reimbursed
anything,
but
for
that
and
that
demonstrated
to
me
that
the
whole
idea
of
a
business
in
that
area
just
wasn't
it.
It
wasn't
something
that
would
was
a
viable
option
and
they
tried
they
really
tried.
Those
were
those
structures
were
built
after
hurricane
charley
and
as
as
a
multi-use
structure,
in
keeping
with
new
urbanism
principles
that
we
were
talking
about,
so
the
notion
of
moving
it
and
turning
it
into.
I
understand
what
jihad
is
saying
about
the
patterson
foundation,
saying
nonprofits
need
earned
income.
F
L
I
L
A
L
L
This
is
just
that
we
have
one
choice
of
the
house
being
demolished
or
we
have
the
other
choice
of
preserving
the
house,
and
we
can't
just
call
it
an
old
house.
I
mean
all
the
houses
are
old
houses.
I
mean
that
we
we
talk
so
much
about
preserving
our
history
and
that's
what
we
are.
This
is
all
we
really
have
is
our
history.
I
mean
this
is
heritage.
Tourism
is
really
what
we
are
and
the
house
is
a
1925
house.
L
It
represents
our
community
and
again,
I
do
think
the
city
has
a
great
responsibility
of
restoring
the
architectural
integrity,
especially
in
the
area
east
of
41,
because
it
was
the
city
council
itself
that
destroyed
all
those
homes.
The
the
lack
of
historical
homes
in
the
historic
district
is
due
to
the
direct
action
of
this
body
right
here.
This
is
it's
not
due
to
economics.
It's
not
due
to
neglect
it's
due
to
actual
imminent
domain,
destroying
houses,
allowing
houses
to
be
destroyed
and
then
subsequent
rezoning,
making
areas
commercial,
residential,
allowing
people
to
rebuild.
L
So
this
this
body
has
responsibility-
and
this
is
a
very
small
thing,
especially
when
the
other
funds
to
bring
the
house
back
into
full.
Splendor
have
been
found,
and
I'm
relatively
confident.
I
mean
the
fact
that
we
get
funded
directly
from
the
state
every
year
by
this
body
and
they
they
actually
facilitated
this
and
the
state
very
much
wants
to
support
projects
exactly
like
this.
A
F
G
F
I
I
H
I
I
I
L
No,
but
actually
it
was,
but
the
builder
is
the
one
who
was
working
with
urban
design.
We
were
working
together,
so
this
this
was
not
out
of
nowhere.
This
was
done
according
to
the
process
that
was
asked,
and
and
again
we
we're
trying
to
actually
put
the
whole
situation
together,
because
the
other
side
of
it,
in
addition
to
relocating
it
again,
is
also
bringing
it
is
revitalizing
it
actually
to
do
the
restoration,
and
so
we
were
able
to
find
actually
three
funding
sources
for
this,
and
so
all
of
this
you
know
this.
L
I
I
L
A
I
I
would
reiterate
some
of
what's
already
been
said.
We
don't
have
a
fund
to
do
this
first
of
all
and
for
us
to
be
in
the
middle
of
a
fiscal
year
and
asked
to
come
up
with
money
to
do.
This
is
unreasonable
and-
and
I
am
all
about
preserving
historical
buildings-
I
am
all
about
it
and
I
would
preserve
a
historical
building
whenever
the
opportunity
would
arise
for
it.
If
there
were
a
situation
where
it
was
going
to
be
restored
on
the
property
that
it's
on,
but
to
move
this
building.
A
First
of
all,
I'm
concerned
of
whose
liability
it's
going
to
be
while
the
building
is
being
moved
if
it
were
to
be
moved
because
I'm
honestly
I've
driven
by
it
and
I'm
not
convinced
that
that
building
is
capable
of
being
moved
without
completely
falling
apart.
It's
not
in
very
good
condition.
According
to
what
I
saw,
but
I
I
will
say
that
we
don't
set
precedence
by
any
decision.
A
previous
council
made
ever
even
this
council.
If
a
council,
this
council
made
a
decision
in
previous
years,
that's
not
a
precedent,
we
don't.
A
We
don't
set
precedence
when
we
make
a
decision,
because
every
project
is
is
approved
or
or
disapproved
on
its
own
merits.
So
I
don't
think
we
can
use
that
as
a
as
a
reason
why
we
should
approve
it
or
not,
approve
it,
and-
and
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
fact
that
there
was
45
days,
grace
period
here
to
stop
the
demolition
of
the
building
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
three
days,
four
days
before
it's
going
to
be
demolished.
We
get
this
on
our
agenda,
I'm
very
concerned
about
that.
A
I'm
just
not
convinced
this
is
the
right
thing
to
do,
and
it's
not
prudent
for
the
city
to
spend
money
from
the
budget
that
we
don't
have
to
move
this
building.
And
you
know
if
the
builder
wants
to
renovate
the
property
where
it
is,
then
that
would
be
his
prerogative
if
he
owns
that
property.
But
I
just
don't
think
that
this
is
prudent
for
the
city
council
to
approve
it.
That's
my
comments.
L
A
A
L
And
again,
this
is
an
opportunity
to
to
do
something
for
the
public
good.
Now,
the
other
thing
like
I
was
saying
this
also
can
be
alone
as
well.
This
doesn't
have
to
be
just
the
appropriation.
The
the
cdc
is
willing
to
actually
pay
this
back
over
time
as
well.
So
this
does
not
have
to
be
just
a
gift
to
do
so.
It's
just
that
it
needs
to
be
able
to
be
moved
to
the
property
so
that
it
can
be
renovated.
A
I
don't
see
any
possible
way
for
the
city
to
recoup
the
money.
That's
that's
a
concern.
I
just
don't
see
it
happening.
I
mean
a
perfect
example.
Is
the
apartments
that
you
discussed
earlier?
I
think
you
know
we
we
did
that
in
good
faith
and
we
were
hoping
that
we
would
get
some
of
that
money
back
that
we
spent
to
renovate
those
units
and
we
we
haven't
gotten
anything.
L
L
K
K
K
K
K
A
F
F
L
Creates
it
means
to
be
able
to
fund,
and
it
could
be
through
loan
of
the
moving
the
relocation
of
the
house
and
that
this
can
actually
in
the
amount
ultimately
can
be
augmented
by
donations
from
the
community
to
reduce
it
is
that
the
city
actually
would
pay
whatever
the
balance
is
outside
of.
What's
raised
by
the
community
to
relocate
the
home.
A
I
don't
know
if
anybody
followed
that,
but
is
there
a
second
I
I
would
have
a
question
because
it's
not
just
the
money
to
relocate
the
house.
It
appears
to
me
that
it's
going
to
be
significant
funds
in
excess
of
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
at
this
point
for
renovations
to
the
house
and
then
funds
to
convert
it
into
a
restaurant.
So
those
are
also
concerns
of
mine.
But.
L
That's
that's
what
this
arrangement
is
is
that
if
the
city
facilitates
relocation,
then
the
cdc
takes
full
responsibility
for
its
restoration
and
again
it
did
the
same
thing
with
the
blanchard
house
museum.
That
also
was
an
historic
home
which
was
in
that
needed
repair,
and
that
was
done
very
effectively,
and
it's
actually
seen
as
a
premier
museum
is
actually
one
of
the
founding
one
of
the
charter,
members
of
the
new
smithsonian.
So
I
mean
in
terms
of
having
the
team
and
the
resources
that
know
how
to
do
this.
L
F
And
I
it's
really
a
tragedy
to
see
you
know
the
history
go
away.
I
think
that's
one
of
the
things
that
jaime
correa
said
is
is
you
should
preserve
your
history,
but
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
they
preserve
the
courthouse
and
preserve
the
the
high
school
and
things
like
that.
But
those
are
significant
buildings
so
because
we
really
don't
have
any
way
to
to
evaluate
it.
So
I
don't
know
if
anyone
else
would
agree
with
me
on
that,
but.
I
I
know
sarasota
and
fort
myers
have
art
in
public
spaces,
where
they,
one
percent
of
the
impact
fees,
goes
to
allow
them
to
put
art
in
public
spaces.
I
would
suggest
that
we
do
something
like
that
for
history,
because
it
is
such
an
important
part
and
frankly,
if
this
had
been
brought
to
us
with
more
information-
and
you
know
a
better
idea
of
where
we
would
get
the
money
I
I
might
have
been
able
to
support
it,
but
we
just
don't
have
the
funds
and
I
think
that's
one
way
of
getting
them.
Drah.
L
F
L
I'm
asking
for
us
is
that,
because
I
can't
see
the
property
owner
thinking
to
extend
that
we're
not
willing
to.
If
I
were,
to
find
funds
to
be
able
for
us
to
be
able
to
appropriate
those.
I'm
asking
that,
in
the
event
that
I'm
able
to
find
some
funds
we'll
be
willing
to
get
behind
it,
because
the
property
owner
would
need
to
have
an
assurance
that
we
would
support
the
relocation
of
the
home.
F
F
L
A
L
No
like
these,
some
of
these
grants
do
require
the
participation
of
of
an
entity
of
a
government
entity,
I'm
just
I'm
just
putting
that
out
there
as
a
possibility.
If
the
funding
source
were
to
be
able
to
fund
the
city
to
be
able
to
relocate
it
as
part
of
preservation,
you
know
preserving
its
culture.
A
A
I
I
beg
to
differ,
and
I
beg
to
disagree
with
you,
but
you
know
we
can
agree
to
disagree
about
it,
but
my
point
is
that
I
don't
know
why
the
city
needs
to
be
involved
in
this.
I
think
this
should
be.
If
you
can
get
grant
funding
or
you
can
get
funding
to
move
the
house,
then
that
would
be
between
you
and
the
owner
of
the
of
the
property.
I'm.
L
Saying
it
may
or
may
not
be
in
that
way,
I'm
simply
saying
that-
and
this
is
something
again
to
even
with
debbie's
point,
and
I
agree
I
support
her
with
thinking.
We
need
to
have
some
funding
store
for
protecting
our
heritage,
that
we
talk
all
the
time
about
protecting
our
history,
but
we
also
also
put
our
money
in
our
mouth.
I
mean
we.
L
These
houses
are
falling
like
again
you
this
this
whole
area,
there's
there
are
almost
no
structural
structures
and
in
fact-
and
we
cannot
view
these
as
just
old
houses
that
that
is
who
we
are
this
that's
what
point
of
order
is
is,
and
they
all
weren't
like
mansions.
This
is
just
this
is
who
we
are,
and
I'm
just
saying,
I'm
I'm
always
just
saying
I
don't
know
where
the
funding
is.
I'm
just
saying
if,
in
the
event
that
a
funding
source
came
that
required
participation
in
the
city,
we
would
be
willing
to
participate.
G
J
L
F
A
A
It's
going
to
take
a
concerted
effort
on
the
part
of
city
departments
to
get
that
expedited
and
moved
at
some
point
if
it's
going
to
be
moved,
and
so
the
city
could
act
responsibly
in
that
in
that
part
of
it.
But
I
just
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
monetary
side
of
it
as
far
as
expending
funds
from
our
budget
that
are
not
budgeted,
and
that
would
really
be
a
concern
to
me.
F
And
these
this
kind
of
thing
happens
all
the
time
I
mean
there
was
a
historic
home
that
was
right
across
the
street
from
historic
city
hall.
Next
to
suncoast
one
title
that
I
happen
to
know
the
people
who
took
possession
of
that
home.
They
got
the
home
for
free
and
paid
to
have
it
moved
down
the
street
on
henry's
harvey
street.
It
is
now
down
south
of
west
virginia
and
it's
been
rebuilt
and
they're.
F
L
L
L
H
I
think
the
consensus
was
they
would
be.
The
council
would
be
immutable
if
you
brought
something
back
and
presumably,
if,
if
you
are
able
to
do
it
in
the
short
period
of
time
that
you
need,
I
think
that
the
city
council
would
also
be
amenable
to
having
an
emergency
meeting
to
provide
whatever
sponsoring
support.
Non-Funding
would
be
necessary
for
that
purpose.
L
A
A
A
G
F
K
A
H
Very
brief:
quarterly
litigation
report.
We
had
two
two
matters
that
the
city
attorney
was
actively
involved
in.
One
was
the
lecco
case,
which
I'm
happy
to
report.
The
second
dca
affirmed
the
circuit
court's
finding
on
behalf
of
the
city
that
the
complaint
was
was
barred
by
the
statue
of
levitations,
so
we've
that
that's
now
concluded
and
the
other
is
the
shoreline
foundation
case
which
were
still
in
the
phase
leading
towards
a
trial.
H
Q
Q
Q
A
G
Q
And
appointed,
thank
you
and
then.
Lastly,
under
appointments,
we
have
two
three-year
terms
on
the
utility
advisory
board.
We
have
two
eligible
applicants,
as
one
individual
was
selected
to
fill
another
vacancy
on
the
board
at
your
last
meeting.
So
if
you'd
like
to
simply
appoint
these
two
remaining
candidates
by
motion.
A
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
to
appoint
mr
abderhalden
and
mr
howells
to
the
utility
advisory
board.
Any
further
discussion,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
hi
oppose
motion
carries
unanimously.
Thank
you.
That's
all!
Thank
you.
Okay.
Thank
you
under
mayor
comments.
I
just
wanted
to
let
you
all
know
that,
as
of
friday,
the
last
vote
from
the
state
legislature
is
that
our
1
million
dollars
for
the
boca
grand
project
is
still
on
the
table.
A
It
was
approved
by
the
house
and
the
senate
in
their
final
session,
and
it
goes
to
the
governor's
desk
for
signature
now,
so
fingers
crossed
guys
fingers
fingers
crossed
it's
the
first
time
in
five
years.
We
got
this
far,
so
we're
very,
very
happy
that
it
got
this
far
and
we
thank
the
senators
and
mr
grant
the
representative
for
this
district
for
supporting
the
project
and
it'll
be
up
to
the
governor
to
decide
if
he
keeps
it
in
there
or
vetoes
the
line
item.
A
A
Well,
it
was
a
mill.
We
submitted
a
request
for
a
million.
The
house
dropped
it
down
to
500
000
and
when
the
senate
got
it
back,
they
counter
offered
it
at
a
million
which
I
thought
was
very
very
unusual,
but
it
was
because
senator
albritton
yeah
senator
albritton
really
pushed
it
so
very
grateful
for
his
support.
Yeah.
A
F
Yes,
we've
said
that
businesses
can't
choose
to,
but
as
a
governmental
entity,
it
just
seemed
like
you
know,
we're
requiring
people
to
wear
a
mask,
but
the
governor
has
said
that
nobody
can
be
required
to
wear
a
mask.
So
I'm
thinking
well,
should
we
really
just
say
we
prefer
and
and
not
and
a
bit
you
know
really
stop.
The
requirement
piece
here
in
our
city
properties
just
seems
to
me
everywhere
I
go.
A
H
D
H
H
H
We
haven't
done
that,
and
most
recent
action
of
the
governor
would
have
rescinded
that
opportunity
for
the
political
subdivision,
so
they
you
know
they
would
have
to
do
things
in
public
like
we
have.
But
we've
been
consistent
with
respect
to
maintaining
our
abidance
of
the
sunshine
law
requirements
for
all
of
our
meetings.
We've
just
done
it
in
a
sort
of
hybrid
manner,.
A
A
F
F
A
D
A
D
Talk
about
the
best
yeah,
okay,
okay,
so
in
addition,
the
question
I
had
when
I
saw
the
governor's
order
was
really
three
things.
We
still
limit
attendance
here.
We
have
our
chairs
mark.
We
still
require
certain
things
in
public
buildings,
although
we
stop
taking
temperatures
and
we
have
a
event
permit
that
council
directed
that
require
a
covet
plan
to
hold
the
event
which
they
still
submit
or
bound
by
at
this
point
until
council
decides
otherwise.
So
my
question
was:
did
that
affect
all
three
of
those?
D
Well,
the
whole
premise
was
negated
because
it
doesn't
apply
to
us.
So
none
of
those
questions
were
valid
because
it
just
doesn't
apply
so
then
that
goes
back
to
if
it
doesn't
apply,
then
your
question
given
what
is
going
on
in
the
community
or
in
general,
do
we
want
to
continue
some
of
the
regulations
we
have
in
place
in
our
buildings
or
in
chambers
etc,
which
would
be
our
decision
regardless?
D
A
I
think
it's
prudent
that
we
keep
things
status
quo
for
the
time
being
I
mean
it's
not
over,
I
mean
even
for
those
who
have
been
vaccinated,
it's
it's.
You
know,
there's
joe
pepe
yesterday
or
the
day
before
when
he
was
at
the
county
commission
meeting
stated
on
the
record
that
a
lot
of
the
people
that
are
currently
in
the
hospital
with
covid
had
vaccines.
A
L
Just
wanted
to
announcement
and
invite
everyone
may
15th
the
cultural
heritage
center
and
fisherman's
village
was
sponsoring
a
day
of
celtic
music.
It's
going
gonna
go
from
12
to
four
their
their
their
five
celtic
bands
get
big
big
cultural
day,
and
what
we're
doing
is
we're
actually
announcing
that
the
youth
museum
cultural
heritage
center
will
be
opening
at
history
park
in
september,
and
so
this
is
just
an
announcement
of
us
slowly
getting
back
into
the
flow
of
being
able
to
celebrate
his
community
together.
