Burnt Store Isles Canal Advisory Meeting 2-14-2023
A
B
C
C
C
A
Oh
call.
C
E
E
D
Okay,
so
we
are
going
to
begin
giving
a
presentation
each
year
of
an
overview
of
what
the
duties
are
for
the
chair
and
vice
chair
just
so,
everyone
knows
what
they're
signing
up
for.
So
this
will
be
the
first
time
if
you
have
any
questions
at
any
point.
Just
let
me
know
so.
Our
chair
and
vice
chair
are
elected
each
February
by
members
of
the
board
and
served
for
one
year.
You
can
serve
a
maximum
of
three
consecutive
years
in
each
roll
after
you've
been
off
for
one
year.
D
You
can
return
to
your
former
role
if
you'd
like
to
and
if
elected
as
host
of
the
assembly,
the
chair
performs
a
number
of
duties
specifically
running
meetings
in
accordance
with
the
agenda.
The
vice
chair
serves
in
the
chair's
absence
only
both
of
them,
whoever
serving
as
the
presiding
officer
needs
to
make
sure
that
order
is
maintained
during
the
meetings.
D
Providing
that
way,
you've
got
an
easy
resource
if
needed,
make
sure
that
you
understand
the
process
for
legislative
and
quasi-judicial
public
hearings,
understand
and
assist
staff
with
enforcing
the
Sunshine
Law
understand
the
basics
of
Florida's
public
records
law
make
sure
you're
familiar
with
the
bylaws,
as
well
as
the
approval
criteria
for
the
public
hearings
that
you
have
typically
for
your
board.
That's
just
going
to
be
the
canal.
Construction
special
permits,
the
board
member
handbook,
does
cover
all
of
these
topics
and
we
will
be
sending
out
a
revised
copy
of
that
shortly.
D
They
will
place
business
on
the
floor
by
reading
the
agenda
items
title
and
keep
discussions
focused.
This
can
involve
reminding
members
of
the
purpose
of
the
item
and
remaining
areas
to
be
addressed
and
calling
for
a
motion.
If
no
new
points
are
being
made,
the
chair
needs
to
end
sidebar
conversations
between
members
if
they
do
happen
to
occur
and
ensure
that
proper
motions
are
made.
This
includes
calling
for
motions
when
necessary.
D
As
for
maintaining
order.
We
hope
that
the
chair
will
lead
by
example,
make
sure
that
he
is
adhering
to
the
rules
of
conduct
and
ensuring
that
board
members
do
as
well
be
fair
and
impartial
in
treatment
of
board
members
staff
and
the
public
and
any
applicants
that
come
before
you
insist,
unruly
or
disorderedly
individuals
be
courteous
in
their
language
and
presentation,
request:
individuals
who
fail
to
comply
to
leave
the
meeting
recess
the
meeting
if
order
cannot
be
maintained
so
that
staff
can
assist
in
restoring
it.
D
Ensure
members
wait
to
be
recognized
before
they
speak
and
intervene
if
board
members
debate
or
argue
with
each
other
to
assert
their
opinion
and
as
always,
the
chair
has
a
lovely
little
gavel
that
can
be
pulled
out
to
assist
them
in
any
of
those
steps,
and
that's
all
we
have
do.
We
have
any
questions
before
we
hold
the
election.
D
D
D
A
B
Okay,
now
Now's
the
Time
We
asked
for
public
comments.
Anyone
wishing
to
address
the
burnt
straws
Canal
advisory
committee
on
any
subject
may
do
so
at
the
appropriate
time.
During
the
meeting,
those
who
choose
to
speak
must
State
their
name
for
the
record.
Each
person
will
be
allowed
to
speak
for
a
maximum
of
three
minutes
number
one.
Approval
of
the
minutes
do
I.
Have
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes
of
the
meeting
on
January
10
2023.
B
F
F
F
F
Let's
see
well
replacement
just
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
a
hurricane
in
update
we're
hoping
to
get
that
con
that
contract
on
the
streets
this
week,
Florida
federal
guidelines
recommend
that
we
have
that
contract
on
the
streets
for
30
days,
so
we're
still
looking
at
another
30
days
before
we
even
get
started
on
any
of
those.
F
C
So
Kathy
I
guess
my
question
is
of
the
items
that
are
Seawall
replacement
prior
to
our
deciding
or
having
a
storm
prior
to
the
event.
How
can
we
replace
the
high
priority
ones
before
FEMA
comes
in
or
do
we
have
to
wait
for
them.
F
We
have
to
have
a
federalized
contract,
there's
a
lot
of
language
and
a
lot
of
strings
attached
to
a
federalized
contract.
Okay,
so
we
pretty
much
have
to
wait
for
them
unless
you
guys
want
to
pay
for
it.
Your
particular
high
priority
project,
the
erosion
is
under
control.
I,
don't
see
any
structures
at
risk,
I,
don't
see
any
reason
why
we
can't
wait.
Okay,.
E
C
F
F
Nope,
the
work
program
has
been
tossed
off
to
the
side.
For
now,
what
we're
doing
is
we're
focusing
mainly
on
Hurricane
Ian
recovery,
and
once
we
get
done
with
those
sea
walls,
then
we'll
go
back
and
revisit
those
sea
walls.
We
do
have
some
sea
walls
that
were
already
in
the
work
program.
I
think
it's
highlighted
in
yellow
on
your
sheets.
Okay,.
E
F
Agenda's
a
little
tossed
so
we
had
one
project,
I
think
was
San
Massimo.
C
F
Okay,
moving
right
along
permits
authorized
by
City,
it
looks
like
we
have
six
permits
out
there
are
there
any
questions
about
those
permits,
concerns
okay,.
F
Go
ahead,
Mr,
Harrington
I
know
you
want
to
ask
me:
where
are
we
at
with
the
boat?
Widening
come
on
I'm,
sorry,
but
that
has
taken
a
back
seat
for
now.
I
am
I,
am
so
overwhelmed
with
dealing
with
FEMA
getting
FEMA
information.
They
just
keep
asking
more
and
more
information.
Just
a
couple
weeks
ago
they
gave
us
the
go
ahead
to
get
the
contracts
out.
Don't
wait
on
us.
F
F
Question
what
I
would
like
to
discuss
with
the
committee
is
that
we
wait
until
our
bids
come
in
and
we
look
at
the
schedules
and
determine
when
we
want
to
do
that.
As
this
is
my
recommendation.
I
fear
that
if
we
have
that
lock,
compromised
barges
can't
get
in
and
out
to
do
the
seawall
recovery
and
for
me
right
now,
the
seawall
recovery
is
a
priority.
F
E
F
F
F
It's
not
like
with
hurricane
Irma,
okay
they're,
just
asking
for
a
lot
of
documentation.
They
want
GPS
points
on
everything
you
know
so
we're
doing
the
best
we
can
to
give
them
everything
that
they
need
to
help
us
move
along.
So,
okay,
anything
else.
Okay,.
F
Permit
report,
so
we
have
an
Army
Corps
of
Engineers
permit.
We
got
it
just
last
week,
so
we
can
install
riprap
and
seawalls
okay.
We
could
always
install
sea
walls.
We
were
just
under
the
old
permit,
but
now
we're
under
the
new
permit
new
permit
expires,
March,
10th,
I
think
what
is
it
20,
33
or
something
like
that.
B
F
F
Any
questions
anything
else:
okay,
I
just
want
to
remind
everybody
that
if
you
want
to
put
something
on
the
agenda,
if
you
have
questions
or
anything
else
like
that,
the
best
way
to
communicate
with
me
right
now
is
by
email.
F
C
So
one
one
additional
question:
I,
don't
see
it
on
the
agenda
was
keep
hoping
to
see
the
perimeter
Channel
presentation.
F
So
Mr
disher,
who
created
that
is,
he
is
out,
and
we
don't
know
when
to
expect
him
back
so
I
need
to
like
really
pick
his
brain
on
it
and
I.
Think
our
our
computer
software
stuff
here
I,
don't
know
if
it
can
handle
that
or
not
because
it's
it
operates
under
a
software.
He
has
to
log
into
our
into
our
program
into
our
Network
to
run
the
software
I'm,
not
really
sure
how
all
that
goes.
So.
E
C
I
think
that's
a
pretty
high
priority
for
understanding
just
what
do
we
do
with
some
of
the
other
items
that
are
on
sort
of
the
back
lot
of
things
to
consider,
particularly
the
corner?
Widening
yes,.
F
F
We
figure
it's
going
to
take
years
to
move
forward
with
any
of
that,
because
there's
still
land
acquisition
that
has
to
happen
and
over
the
next
five
or
six
years,
we're
just
we're.
Just
saving
money
I
think
we're
saving
like
a
hundred
thousand
every
year
we're
putting
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
every
year
into
the
account
and
we're
just
saving
money.
F
You
know
stuff
like
that,
so
so
we
know
that
land
acquisition's
gonna,
you
know
that's
gonna,
take
a
little
bit
permitting
is
going
to
take
a
little
bit,
but
before
we
can
acquire
the
land
we
need
to
know
what
we're
going
to
do
first.
So,
but
hopefully
we
will
have
that
back
on
the
agenda
next
month.
If
Mr
disher
returns.
Okay,.
E
E
D
So
we
do
have
another
presentation
to
do
today,
and
this
will
also
be
an
annual
presentation
going
forward
just
to
help
keep
everyone
fresh
on
the
rules
and
procedures
you're
expected
to
follow
as
a
Committee
Member.
If
you
have
any
questions
along
the
way
feel
free
to
stop
me
and
I'll
do
my
best
to
answer
them
so
effective
boards
for
the
city.
We
believe
that
it's
important
for
them
to
remain
forward-looking,
understand
their
duties
and
responsibilities.
D
Prioritize
the
purpose
of
the
board
over
personal
desires
treat
staff,
the
public
and
fellow
members
with
respect,
follow
council's
adopted
rules
of
conduct
which
are
respect.
Each
person
share
responsibility,
criticize
only
ideas,
not
people,
keep
an
open,
mind,
question
and
participate
attend
all
meetings,
listen
constructively.
D
We
asked
that
everyone
referred
to
The
Chair
by
title
Mr
chair
in
this
case.
Focus
comments
and
discussions
on
the
item
at
hand
speak
clearly
and
audibly
into
the
microphone.
These
are
quite
sensitive.
Finicky
refrain
from
engaging
in
sidebar
conversations
as
that
is
a
sunshine
live
violation
that
does
have
certain
consequences.
D
That
would
be
if
someone
had
made
a
comment
to
their
friends
out
in
the
public,
or
perhaps
made
a
statement
to
the
paper
that
you
are
for
or
against
a
canal
construction
special
permit
that
will
be
coming
before
the
board.
If
that
happens,
then
you
would
have
to
abstain
from
voting
on
that
matter.
D
D
So
many
of
you
are
now
familiar
with
our
office.
The
city
clerk's
office
is
the
one
who
is
responsible
for
tracking
appointments
and
attendance
at
each
meeting
administering
the
oath
of
office
before
anyone
serves
now
we're
providing
orientations
and
educational
materials
to
new
members.
We
assist
with
meeting
procedures
as
needed
during
the
meetings
and
Leah
is
our
recording
secretary,
who
is
in
charge
of
preparing
minutes
and
recordings
for
members.
D
The
supporting
department
for
your
board
is
Canal
maintenance
and
Public
Works
they're
the
individuals
who
provide
the
board
secretary,
who
creates
issues
and
distributes
the
agenda
for
your
board,
that
is
Laurel
adelmund.
Currently
they
also
provide
staff,
Who
present
the
agenda
items
and
reports
and
can
answer
board
member
questions
in
advance
of
meetings.
If
you
have
any,
they
can
also
share
the
information
with
other
members.
D
D
It's
required
in
order
to
call
the
meeting
to
order
and
must
be
maintained
throughout
the
meeting.
So
if
we
had
three
members
present
and
started
the
meeting,
but
one
of
them
needs
to
step
out
of
the
room
to
take
a
call
or
what
have
you?
Then?
The
meeting
has
to
be
temporarily
recessed
until
that
third
member
can
rejoin
without
a
quorum.
D
That
way
we
can
determine
if
there
is
a
quorum
and
if
we
need
to
get
on
the
phones
with
anybody
to
try
to
find
out
if
they're
on
the
way
speakers
should
be
recognized
by
the
chair
before
they
begin
speaking,
only
one
person
should
speak
at
a
time.
Comments
need
to
be
confined
to
the
current
issue
with
repetition
avoided
it's
sufficient
to
say.
If
you
concur
with
someone,
you
can
just
say
I
agree.
D
Discussion
should
alternate
between
pro
and
con
arguments
when
possible.
Sometimes
everyone
is
on
the
same
page,
so
we
recognize
that
won't
always
happen.
We
ask
that
lengthy
papers
not
be
read
during
the
meetings
and
side
forward.
Conversations
are
prohibited,
as
they
are
a
Sunshine
Law
violation,
and
that
would
be
cases
such
as
leaning
over
to
your
fellow
member
and
speaking
with
them
privately.
While
the
meeting
is
going
on
verbal
attacks
of
members,
staff
applicants
and
the
public
are
not
to
be
tolerated
and
rules
are
to
be
respected
and
obeyed.
D
Our
meeting
procedures
involve
the
chair
determining
if
we
have
a
quorum
and
then
calling
the
meeting
to
order
reviewing
the
public
comment
procedures
as
necessary
using
the
timer
to
limit
the
public
comment
to
three
minutes.
If
there
is
any
placing
business
on
the
floor
by
reading
the
agenda
item
title,
the
current
agenda
item
has
to
be
dispensed
before
proceeding
onto
the
next
item.
Sometimes
that
involves
making
a
motion
or
just
confirming
that
there's
no
further
discussion.
D
The
chair
keeps
discussions
focused.
This
can
involve
reminding
members
of
the
purpose
of
the
item
and
remaining
areas
to
be
addressed.
Calling
for
a
motion
if
no
new
points
are
made
ending
sidebar
conversations
if
they
are
observed
and
ensuring
proper
motions
are
made,
which
includes
calling
for
emotion
when
necessary.
Ensuring
the
motion
is
seconded
before
discussion
begins
announcing
that
the
motion
has
died
if
it
is
not
seconded
restating
the
motion
after
any
discussion
and
then
calling
for
both
an
eye
and
a
vote
and
announcing
the
result
of
the
vote.
D
The
Chariot
also
adjourns
the
meeting.
After
all,
agenda
items
have
been
addressed,
public
hearings
are
heard
by
this
board
and
they
can
involve
presentations
of
up
to
30
minutes
by
staff
and
applicant
and
interveners
when
applicable,
followed
by
a
public
comment
period.
The
public
comment
period
is
intended
for
members
to
take
in
the
views
of
the
public.
It
is
not
a
question
and
answer
session.
We
strongly
discourage
the
board
from
participating
in
the
question
and
answer
session.
D
D
Members
can
then
discuss
the
matter
before
them,
and
a
motion
is
required
to
either
recommend
approval
or
approval
with
conditions
or
denial
or
continuance
to
a
date
certain
for
legislative
public
hearings.
Most
of
those
that
you
will
have,
though,
are
quasi-judicials,
so
you
will
actually
be
approving
approving
with
conditions
or
denying
Canal
construction
special
permits
when
those
are
heard.
D
B
Page
backing
up
to
I
know:
we've
had
confusion
about
the
chair
calling
three
times
for
public
comment.
Public
comment
is
opened
and
then
they're
making
their
comments
and
then,
if
we
hear
no
more
comments,
that's
when
the
chair
calls
three
times
you've.
B
D
B
D
D
So
for
our
quasi-judicial
public
hearings,
the
canal
construction
special
permits,
those
apply
policy
through
the
application
of
facts
to
specific
criteria.
Quasi-Judicial
public
hearings
must
be
held
in
accordance
with
the
procedures
adopted
by
the
city
in
a
resolution
3673-2022.
This
ensures
fairness
and
partiality
and
due
process
for
all
parties.
That
procedure
is
included
in
the
board
member
handbook.
D
Disclosure
of
ex
parte
Communications
related
to
land
use
matters
conducted
pursuant
to
chapter
26
of
the
pinnacort
are
not
required
and
not
presumed
prejudicial
to
the
board's
decision.
However,
the
City
attorney
has
opined.
Such
meetings
should
be
avoided.
Once
a
public
hearing
has
been
scheduled
to
maintain
the
Integrity
of
the
decision-making
process,
you
may
have
heard
about
that
at
recent
Council
meetings.
The
decisions
you
are
making,
though,
are
based
in
chapter
six,
so
that
decision
does
not
apply
to
you.
D
So
the
way
the
quasi-judicial
public
hearings
work
is
that
the
recording
secretary
will
swear
in
all
of
the
participants.
The
chair
announces.
The
item
staff
provides
a
presentation
of
up
to
30
minutes
and
there
is
also
time
for
cross-examination
by
the
applicant
any
party
interveners
and
questions
from
the
board
separate
from
their
30
minutes
for
presentation.
D
The
applicant
also
has
an
opportunity
to
present
evidence
and
testimony
in
support
of
their
application
up
to
30
minutes.
They
also
have
a
separate
time
for
cross-examination
by
staff
party
interveners
or
questions
from
the
board
that
does
not
account
does
not
count
against
their
30
minutes
to
make
their
presentation
any
timely
filed
party.
Innovators
may
also
present
evidence
and
testimony
in
support
of,
or
an
opposition
to,
the
application
up
to
30
minutes.
They
too
also
have
a
separate
period
of
time
for
a
cross-examination
by
staff,
the
applicant
and
any
questions
from
the
board.
D
D
If
necessary,
an
attorney
may
be
present
to
provide
legal
advice
to
the
board.
Then
members
deliberate
and
pass
emotion
and
again
with
the
canal
construction
special
permits.
This
will
be
either
to
approve
to
approve
with
conditions
or
to
deny
the
application
any
member
voting.
An
opposition
of
an
application
must
cite
a
specific
criteria,
not
being
met
and
provide
a
statement
regarding
how
the
application
fails
to
meet
that
criteria.
D
These
are
the
rules
of
evidence
that
are
contained
in
the
quasi-judicial
public
hearing
procedures.
I
cannot
answer
questions
about
this,
but
we
can
forward
them
to
our
attorney.
If
you
have
any
all
evidence
of
a
type
commonly
relied
upon
by
reasonably
prudent
persons
in
the
conduct
of
their
Affairs
shall
be
admissible.
Whether
or
not
such
evidence
would
be
admissible
in
a
court
of
law
in
Florida,
irrelevant
immaterial
harassing
defamatory
or
untully.
Repetitive
evidence
shall
be
excluded.
D
Hearsay
evidence
may
be
used
for
the
purposes
of
supplementing
or
explaining
other
evidence,
but
it
shall
not
be
sufficient
by
itself
to
support
a
finding
unless
it
would
be
admissible
over
objection
in
a
civil
action
documentary
evidence
may
be
presented
in
the
form
of
a
copy
or
the
original
upon
request.
Parties
shall
be
given
an
opportunity
to
compare
the
copy
with
the
original,
not
all
admissible.
Evidence
may
be
the
basis
of
the
finding
by
the
board.
D
D
Next
up
we
have
parliamentary
procedure.
The
city
does
not
strictly
follow
Robert's
Rules
of
Order.
We
expect
that
the
chair
will
explain
to
the
public
what
the
board
is
doing.
Keep
the
public
informed
throughout
the
process
of
what
the
board
is
doing
with
an
item,
particularly
with
our
public
hearings,
where
regular
citizens
may
not
understand
the
process,
and
of
course
the
chair
should
announce
the
result
of
any
action
taken
by
the
board,
such
as.
D
If
a
canal
construction
special
permit
were
denied,
then
they
would
need
to
make
a
statement
that
that
means
that
that
doc-
or
what
have
you
may
not
be
built
members-
should
wait
to
be
recognized
by
the
chair
before
speaking.
Stay
focused
on
the
topic
at
hand,
avoid
repetitious
discussion,
make
motions
as
needed.
D
Motion
signal:
a
desire
to
take
a
specific
action
and
they're
voted
on
by
all
members.
At
the
Darius.
There
are
seven
steps
to
making
motions.
First,
a
member
should
ask
to
be
recognized
by
The
Chair
by
stating
Mr
chair.
The
chair
then
recognizes
the
member
by
name.
The
member
can
then
State
their
motion.
I
move
to
recommend
approval
of
the
application
in
other
member
seconds.
The
motion,
without
waiting
to
be
recognized
by
saying
I.
D
D
Discussion
does
not
begin
until
the
motion
is
seconded.
The
chair
repeats
the
motion
once
it
is
seconded
and
calls
for
discussion
following
any
discussion.
The
chair
restates
the
motion
and
puts
it
to
a
vote.
If
there
was
no
further
discussion,
we
are
ready
to
vote
all
those
in
favor
of
the
recommend
of
recommending
the
application
be
approved
signal
so
by
saying
aye.
Those
opposed
signals.
So
by
saying
they,
the
chair,
counts
the
votes
and
announces
the
outcome.
D
If
there
is
a
typo
that
is
considered
a
failed
vote
and
in
a
following
motion
would
need
to
be
made
only
the
prevailing
side
of
a
failed
motion
may
offer
a
subsequent
motion
on
the
item.
For
example,
if
you
wanted
to
reconsider
something,
the
board
has
already
taken
action
on
someone
from
the
side
that
had
received
the
majority
votes,
wouldn't
be
the
one
who
would
need
to
make
that
subsequent
motion
to
reconsider
the
item.
D
D
If
the
Second
Amendment
passes
it's
incorporated
into
the
First
Amendment
following
any
remaining
discussion
of
the
First
Amendment,
a
vote
then
has
to
be
taken
on
it,
and
the
chair
has
to
restate
the
main
motion
incorporating
any
amendments
that
were
approved
and
then
ask
for
any
further
discussion.
At
that
point,
we
would
still
need
a
vote
on
the
main
motion.
D
D
One
of
the
members
then
signals
that
they
would
like
to
speak
to
the
chair.
The
chair
recognizes
them,
and
then
they
move
to
amend
the
motion
by
adding
subject
to
staff
review
after
application
and
someone
seconds
that
motion
someone
else
signals
they
would
like
to
speak
and
then
the
chair
recognizes
them
and
they
move
to
amend
the
amendment
by
replacing
staff
with
legal
and
that
has
to
be
seconded
as
well
or
else
it
will
die.
D
The
chair
can
then
ask
if
there
is
any
discussion
of
the
amendment
and,
if
not
call
for
those
in
favor
of
amending
the
amendment
by
replacing
staff
with
legal
to
Signal
soap,
pricing,
I
and
then
call
for
those
opposed
to
signal.
So
by
saying,
nay,
if
the
motion
carries,
then
the
amendment
on
the
floor
would
now
be
to
add,
subject
to
legal
legal
review
after
application.
D
The
chair
would
need
to
call
for
any
further
discussion,
and
if
there
is
none,
then
they
would
need
to
call
on
call
for
a
vote
on
that
Amendment.
D
If
that
were
to
carry,
then
they
would
still
need
to
restate
the
initial
motion
and
call
for
a
vote
on
that.
Final
motion:
there
are
a
number
of
motions
that
can
be
made
to
address
items
such
as
calling
for
a
point
of
privilege,
which
is
a
little
more
difficult
to
do
here.
An
example
of
that
would
be
if
it
were
too
noisy
in
the
room.
We
could
close
the
stores
to
seal
off
the
area
a
little
bit
so
noise
from
the
exterior
doesn't
come
in.
D
However,
there's
not
much,
we
can
do
to
address
issues
such
as
temperature,
while
we're
here
could
call
for
a
division
of
the
house,
which
would
be
calling
for
a
clarifying
vote
to
determine
who
voted
in
favor
of
and
who
voted
against.
Emotion.
If
there
are
questions
about
whether
someone
voted,
I
or
nay,
or
whether
a
motion
passed
or
failed
items
can
be
laid
on
the
table
indefinitely.
Potentially,
if
there's
a
public
hearing,
we
would
ask
that,
if
there's
a
continuance,
that
item
be
continued
to
a
date.
D
Certain
that
way
the
applicant
and
anyone
else
present
knows
when
they
would
need
to
reappear
to
be
heard
on
that
matter.
My
emotions
can
be
made
to
call
the
question
on
the
floor
and
end
debate.
That
does
need
to
be
seconded
and
if
it
does
need
to
be
taken,
there
can
be
motions
to
amend.
Motion.
Suite
just
went
over
to
reconsider
a
previously
approved
motion
to
rescind
a
motion
entirely
and,
of
course,
just
your
general
eye
move
to
take
action
on
an
item.
B
I
missed
your
the
part
about
consideration
of
a
question.
What.
D
I'm,
sorry,
that
would
be,
if
you
object
to
a
motion,
has
been
made
any
other
questions.
At
this
point,
then
we
do
have
a
binder
that
we'll
be
providing
in
the
future
as
soon
as
we
receive
an
okay
on
a
couple
items
from
our
attorney.
That
does
include
a
cheat
sheet
of
all
the
different
kinds
of
motions
and
the
requirements
for
those
motions.
D
D
So
the
Sunshine
Law,
you
are
subject
to
the
Sunshine
Law
as
a
public
board.
It
applies
to
any
physical
or
virtual
Gathering
of
two
or
more
members
of
the
same
elected
or
appointed
board.
No
two
or
more
members
of
a
board
may
discuss
City
business
outside
of
a
properly
noticed
public
meeting,
which
has
been
called
to
order
which
has
a
quorum
and
at
which
minutes
are
taken.
D
D
Written
correspondence
by
one
member
to
inform
others
of
the
subject
to
be
discussed
at
a
meeting
is
not
a
violation
unless
discussion
takes
place
prior
to
the
meeting,
for
example,
if
one
of
you
had
information,
you
wanted
to
share
with
everyone
else
about
an
item
before
the
meeting.
It's
not
a
violation
to
just
send
that
information
and
say
I
thought
this
might
be
informative.
D
If
anyone
were
to
reply
to
that
message,
though,
with
comments
on
what
they
think
about
it,
you've
begun
a
discussion.
So
one
option
you
have
to
make
sure
that
doesn't
ever
occur.
Is
you
can
forward
whatever
you
would
like
shared
to
our
office,
and
we
can
send
it
out
to
members
blind
copying
everyone
that
way.
A
discussion
can't
inadvertently
begin
telephone
particip
participation
by
an
absent
member
is
only
permissible
when
there
is
a
quorum
of
the
board
physically
present,
and
the
absence
is
due
to
extraordinary
circumstances
such
as
illness
and
the
board
approved
such
participation.
D
So
definitely
let
us
know
if
you
have
a
surgery
scheduled
or
anything
like
that,
and
we
will
try
to
make
arrangements
if
possible,
non-disruptive
or
silent.
Videotaping
of
a
public
meeting
cannot
be
banned.
So
if
someone
were
to
come
to
this
room
and
have
a
camera
out
going
we're
also
recording
the
meeting,
anyone
could
come
in
here
and
record
the
meeting.
D
D
Public
records
must
be
retained
and
disposed
of
in
accordance
with
the
state's
general
records
schedules.
At
the
end
of
a
member's
term
of
appointment,
records
should
be
provided
to
a
member's
successor
or
the
city
clerk's
office.
We're
happy
to
take
anything
you
may
have.
That
needs
to
be
retained,
for
you,
records
must
not
be
destroyed
or
otherwise
disposed
of.
Prior
to
meeting
the
required
retention
period
established
for
the
appropriate
state
general
records
schedule.
D
D
If
a
member
of
the
public
were
to
email,
you
about
an
item
coming
before
the
board,
that's
going
to
be
a
public
record.
If
that
happens,
you
can
forward
that
email
to
us
or,
if
you're,
responding
copy
us
on
the
email
using
the
email
address
retention
at
city
of
Punta,
Gorda
fl.com,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
that
email
is
retained
for
the
appropriate
period
of
time,
and
this
email
address
is
also
included
in
the
newest
versions
of
the
board
member
handbook,
and
we
will
be
reissuing
that
to
everybody.

A

to
the
sunshine
Amendment
and
code
of
ethics
for
public
officers
and

We'd
be
happy
to

penalties

Article
2
Section
5
of
the
Florida
Constitution
prohibits
any
person
from
serving
on
more
than
one
decision-making
board.
The
canal
advisory
committees
are
decision
making,
since
you
are
approving
or
denying
Canal
construction
special
permits,
so
you
wouldn't
be
able
to
hold
office
with
another
of
our
decision-making
boards,
such
as
the
code
enforcement
board
or
the
building
board.
D
If
the
official
decision,
rolling
or
act
occurs
in
the
context
of
a
quasi-judicial
proceeding,
a
member
May
abstain
from
voting
on
such
matter.
If
the
abstention
is
to
assure
a
fair
proceeding,
free
from
potential
bias
or
Prejudice.
That
would
again
be
in
the
case
that
you
are
making
statements
that
revealed
any
kind
of
bias
before
the
matters
being
heard.
D
Florida
Statutes
286.012
requires
members
abstain
from
voting
in
certain
situations,
and
we
have
a
copy
of
the
pertinent
statue
right
here.
I'll
it's
in
your
agenda
package,
so
I
will
save
you
all
from
rereading
it.
Similarly,
we
also
included
Florida
statute
112.3143,
a
link
to
that
this
isn't
verbatim
so
I
will
go
through
this.
D
Real
quick
individuals
must
abstain
from
voting
on
a
measure
which
would
endure
to
his
or
her
special
private
gain
or
loss
or
nearer
to
the
special
private
gain
or
loss
of
a
relative
business
associate
or
principal
other
than
the
government
agency,
by
whom
he
or
she
is
retained,
including
the
parent,
subsidiary
or
sibling
organization
of
a
principal
by
which
he
or
she
is
retained.
Relative
means
the
elected
or
appointed
individual's
father,
mother,
son,
daughter,
husband,
wife,
brother
sister,
father-in-law,
mother-in-law,
son-in-law
or
daughter-in-law.
D
So
this
one
might
come
to
play
if
one
of
you
worked
for
a
marine
contractor
who
had
an
item
that
was
being
presented
to
the
board
or
potentially,
if
you
were
the
one
presenting
it
and
that
would
benefit
from
it.
Another
situation
which
could
potentially
arise
is,
if
you
have
one
of
the
family
members
they
named,
that
happens
to
live
within
the
district
and
they
came
forward
to
apply
for
a
canal.

Great,
when
will
we
get
our
new
