Description
A
B
Heavenly
Father,
we
ask
thy
continued
help
and
understanding
in
our
councils.
Decisions
made
today
grant
us
Lord
not
to
be
anxious
about
earthly
things,
but
to
love
things
heavenly,
and
even
now
why
we
are
placed
among
things
that
seem
to
be
passing
away
to
hold
fast
to
those
that
shall
endure.
We
ask
that
you
give
us
the
wisdom
to
make
the
right
and
proper
decisions
and
continue
to
hold
us
in
the
palm
of
your
hands,
amen.
A
D
Thank
you
so
much
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
in
Punta
Gorda
again,
and
it
is
definitely
an
honor
to
be
here
on
such
a
special
occasion.
We
do
have
a
bus
and
some
others
coming.
They
get
here
in
time
for
the
commemoration
on
the
nineteenth
coming
in
from
Central,
Florida
and
I'm
sure
they
will
find
this
area
as
exciting
and
interesting
as
I.
Have
we
only
arrived
last
night
but
I
plan
to
do
a
complete
tour
of
the
city
and
it's
beautiful?
D
A
To
do
so,
and
this
was
done
before
the
passage
of
the
Civil
Rights
Act
and
without
any
court
order,
and
whereas
disturbing
events
have
troubled
many
parts
of
our
country
in
recent
months,
but
not
in
Punta
Gorda,
where
citizens,
officials,
organizations
and
police
have
voluntarily
come
together
to
strengthen
lines
of
communication
and
cooperation
and
where,
as
a
symbolic
people's
march,
will
be
held
at
8:00
a.m.
on
Saturday
May,
19
2018
to
further
the
cause
of
peace,
justice
and
community
unity,
and
to
celebrate
Punta
Gorda
distinctive
role
in
building
peaceful
progress
for
all.
A
Now,
therefore,
the
City
Council
of
the
city
of
Punta,
Gorda
Florida,
does
hereby
proclaim
May
19
2018
as
March
for
peace,
justice
and
community
Unity
Day,
and
encourages
citizens
to
participate
in
the
March,
as
well
as
the
festivities
to
be
held
at
the
Cooper
Street
recreation
center.
Immediately
thereafter
past
a
newly
adopted
in
reggae
session,
the
sixteenth
day
of
May
2018
city
of
Punta,
Gorda,
Florida,
Rachael
Keesling,
mayor
attested

Karen,
Smith

and
today,
Kara
Williams

will
come

the

about
their

on
Saturday.
E
Thank

We

The

A
A
F
Recovery
efforts,
including
those
recently
most
recently,
hurricane
Irma,
the
Global
War
on
Terror
Operation,
Iraqi,
Freedom
and
the
cultural
exchanges
abroad,
and
whereas
the
13th
Army
Band
to
the
Florida
National
Guard,
is
performing
in
the
concert
at
Charlotte,
Harbor
event
and
conference
center
at
7,
o
clock
p.m.
on
Friday,
May,
25th
2018.
Now,
therefore,
the
City
Council,
the
city
of
Point,
Gorda
Florida,
does
hereby
proclaim
May
25th
2018
as
the
13th
Army
Band
of
the
Florida
National
Guard
day
and
urges
all
citizens
to
attend
a
performance
by
this
outstanding
organization.
F
G
Like
to
thank
the
City
Council
for
this
proclamation
that
these
proclamations
made
a
lot
to
these
bands,
the
military
officers
organization,
as
well
as
the
Event
Center,
our
co-hosts
to
these
concerts
and
they're
free
to
the
public-
and
there
are
several
tickets
available-
they're
free,
just
go
to
the
Event
Center
and
ask
the
number
that
you
want
and
I
encourage
you
also
to
bring
children
bring
kids,
because
this
is
an
inspiration
to
them
to
listen
to
these
bands.
They're
just
really
phenomenal,
but
they
have
accomplished
and
how
they
present
themselves.
G
We
are
planning
on
another
concert
this
year,
we're
bringing
in
the
Navy
Band,
November,
11th
and
I.
Think
we
have
that
firmed
up
and
I'm,
not
sure
the
exact
location
where
it's
going
to
be,
but
we'll
certainly
get
that
word
out
and
if
anyone
has
any
connections
with
the
Air
Force
we'd
love
to
get
the
Air
Force
Band.
Here,
because
that's
the
only
band
we
haven't
had
here
and
we're
trying
to
work
through
our
congressional
delegation
to
see.
Well,
then
we
can
get
them
here,
but
the
band's
love
coming
here.
H
Thank
you.
It's
my
honor
to
present
this
proclamation
for
the
city
of
Punta
Gorda
Florida,
where,
as
boating
is
a
popular
recreational
activity
for
nearly
90
million
Americans
and
whereas,
during
national
safe
boating
week,
the
US
Coast
Guard
and
its
federal
state
and
local,
safe
boating
partners
and
the
United
States
power
squadrons,
encourage
everyone
to
explore
and
enjoy
America's
beautiful
waters
responsibly
and
as
through
basic
boating
safety
procedures,
including
carrying
life-saving
emergency
distress
and
communications
equipment.
H
Wearing
lifejackets
and
staying
sober,
can
help
ensure
boaters
stay
safe
throughout
the
season
and
whereas
the
vast
majority
of
boating
accidents
are
caused
by
human
error
or
poor
judgment,
and
not
by
the
boat
equipment
or
environmental
factors
and
whereas
on
average,
six
hundred
and
fifty
people
die
each
year
in
boating,
related
accidents,
eighty
percent
of
which
are
fatalities
caused
by
drowning
and
whereas
most
of
those
boaters
who
lost
their
lives
by
drowning
each
year
would
be
alive
today.
Had
they
worn
a
life
jacket.
H
Now,
therefore,
the
City
Council
of
the
city
of
Punta,
Gorda
Florida,
does
hereby
proclaim
the
week
of
May
19
to
25
2018
as
national
safe
boating
week
and
urges
those
who
boat
to
wear
a
life
jacket
and
practice
safe
boating
habits
at
all
times
past
and
duly
adopted
in
regular
session.
The
16th
day
of
May
2018
city
of
Punta,
Gorda,
Florida,
Rachele,
Keisling,
mayor
and
accepting
will
be
commander
Sandra,
Donna
and
flotilla
98
commander,
Michael
Griffith.
I
I'll
just
say
a
couple
brief
comments.
Thank
you,
City
Council
for
recognizing
this
we're
an
education
boating
safety
group
and
we
take
it
very
seriously.
We
are
participating
on
Saturday
with
a
full
range
of
activities
at
the
events
center
and
also
at
the
punta
gorda
boating
club.
So,
if
you're
available,
we
have
our
booth,
which
would
be
educational,
we
have
already
set
wear,
which
is
our
life
jacket
campaign.
I
We
also
have
se
boating
seminar
to
help
people
with
boats
for
the
canals
and
things
to
secure
them
for
hurricanes
and
also
did
I,
say
Ready
Set,
wear.
Okay,
thank
you.
Lots
of
things
going
on,
oh
and
at
the
Punta
Gorda
Boat
Club.
Sorry,
we
do
have
live
demonstrations
of
flares
so
if
you've
never
seen
a
flare
and
you
want
to
see
how
that
looks
in
the
daytime
feel
free
to
stop
by
okay.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
J
Just
introducing
mr.
Leung
clear
in
the
spirit
of
the
reunification
of
the
historic
district
and
revitalization
of
our
downtown
walkability
is
one
the
key
components,
and
so
we
found
that
Nikhil
Ribe
will
provide
us
with
a
very
good
needed
service
for
our
city.
L
Good
morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Judah
I'm,
with
the
nickel
ride.
Greatly
appreciate,
appreciate
you
taking
some
time
here
this
morning.
I'll
keep
this
brief,
but
definitely
want
to
start
off
with
a
thank
you
to
jaha
who's
been
very
proactive
with
helping
us
with
strategic
partnerships.
Come
to
the
area
as
well
the
zoning
team.
They
were
great,
with
working
with
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
various
other
businesses,
that
kind
of
bought
in
and
really
been
a
big
big
part
of
what
we're
doing
here.
L
Okay,
so
a
little
bit
about
who
we
are
so
we're
an
innovative
transportation
solution
and
probably
to
sum
it
up,
we
provide
free
rides.
So
we
focus
on
high-density
growth
areas,
usually
covering
a
three
mile
radius
and
passengers
can
request
via
phone
call
or
the
new
mobile
app
that
we
have
rolling
out
and
the
way
that
we're
able
to
provide
those
rides
for
free
is
by
partnering
with
local
commerce,
local
businesses
that
are
looking
for
a
unique
marketing
opportunity.
L
We
brand
the
size
of
our
vehicle
to
have
those
businesses
custom
messaging,
but
we
also
been
probably,
most
importantly,
the
driver
behind
the
wheel
is
able
to
speak
to
you
know
the
area
what's
going
on
kind
of
serve
as
a
local
tour
guide,
so
we're
we
currently
operate.
So
the
business
was
launched
in
downtown
Fort
Myers
that
was
kind
of
Ground
Zero
that
was
August
of
last
year.
L
At
first,
there
was
a
lot
of
curiosity
trying
to
figure
out
what
these
funky
looking
cars
are
driving
around,
but
shortly
after
people
started
to
catch
on
to
it
and
really
understand
the
concept
we
had
to
add
to
the
fleet,
so
we
had
to
get
a
third
vehicle
to
keep
up
with
the
demand
we
had
some
excited
customers.
It
really
started
kind
of
create
some
excitement
around
our
program.
L
So
shortly
after
Cape
Coral
came
to
us
and
they
asked
you
know
what
would
it
take
for
us
to
get
that
kind
of
system
so
work
with
their
zoning
kind
of
learned
their
plan
of
the
you
know,
revitalization
of
the
South
Cape
area
and
then
got
a
fleet
over
there
and
that
launched
December
of
last
year.
So
one
one
of
the
top
requests
that
we
got
was
residents
who
would
come
visit
the
Fort
Myers
area,
they're,
saying
hey
when
you
guys
coming
up
to
PG
and
so
after
you
know
countless
requests.
L
We
finally
started
looking
into
it
and
that's
where
I
met
jaha
and
we've
kind
of
had
that.
So
we're
excited
to
announce
that
June
1st
we
will
be
launching
in
the
downtown
area.
We
will
operate
with
three
vehicles,
we're
working
with
businesses
now
to
get
all
those
pre-sold.
Here's
some
photos
that
we
actually
I
was
was
shot
live
in
this
area
when
we
came
up
to
help
out
with
a
BBQ
and
brews
event
that
was
hosted
by
the
Chamber
of
Commerce.
L
So
this
right
here
is
the
proposed
service
area,
as
you
can
see,
really
going
to
be,
connecting
the
downtown
area
you'll
be
able
to
go
out
to
Fisherman's
Village
get
people
to
the
downtown
area
and
vice-versa,
you
know
we
don't
have
a
exact
transit
that
we
follow.
We
really
go
where
the
rides
are
so
the
proposed
areas,
the
proposed
hours
of
operation-
and
this
can
change-
but
this
is
this-
is
what
we're
rolling
out
with
you
know.
We
want
to
operate
seven
days
a
week.
We
start
at
11:00
a.m.
we
run
so
9:00
p.m.
L
L
so
this
here
just
gives
you
an
example
of
what
some
of
the
branding
on
the
vehicles
look
like.
You
know
we
want
to
make
sure
they
aesthetically
pleasing.
This
was
a
mural
downtown
that
we
got
a
photo
in
front
of
so
no,
we
cover
kind
of
quite
a
bit
there.
Just
love
that
here.
If
there's
any
questions
or
something
that
you
would
like
some
clarity
on.
A
L
So
the
app
we
actually
just
took
offline
because
we're
we're
completely
redoing
it,
but
we're
within
the
first
week
at
June,
it'll
be
completely
live
and
the
nice
thing
about
that
that
we're
adding
more
features
to
it.
So
not
only
will
they
be
able
to
utilize
the
mobile
app
from
a
dispatch
system,
but
they'll
also
get
notifications
that
the
bar
owners,
the
restaurant
owners,
would
have
the
ability
to
push.
So
you
know
it's
gonna
serve
more
as
a
hotspot
to
understand
what's
happening.
You
know
you
have
an
event
going
on.
L
They
can
list
that
in
there
so
right
now,
the
best
way
to
get
a
ride
is
to
do
855.
We
are
free
call
that
number
that's
gonna
dispatch
you
so
much
like
a
taxi
service
to
the
closest
driver.
That's
on
the
but
well,
of
course
announce
when
that
app
is
coming
and
you
can.
Actually,
if
you
go
to
our
website,
you
can
sign
up
to
be
on
the
waiting
list
and
you'll
get
updates
about.
You
know
when
that
comes
out.
A
L
H
L
I
mean
certainly
similar
to
any
other
kind
of
business
that
you
know
operate
I
carry
a
pretty
hefty
insurance
policy.
I
mean
a
big
part
of
that,
though,
is
vetting
the
drivers.
So
we
go
through
a
pretty
extensive
background
check.
You
know
they
have
to
have
a
perfect
driving
record,
and
you
know
there
is
you
know,
contract,
so
they
have
to
sign.
You
know
making
it
quite
aware
that
there's
you
know
you
take
an
ownership
of
it,
but
from
a
liability
standpoint
yeah
we
carry
a
million
dollar
new
liability
policy
on
each
vehicle.
L
A
F
L
My
checkbook
is
I
already
made
the
investment,
so
we're
here
and
I.
Think
that
was
a
big
concern.
When
we
launched
in
downtown
Fort
Myers
there
was,
you
know
it.
Was
it
gonna
be
enough
traffic
during
offseason?
Well,
what
we
realized
was
seven
days
a
week.
You
know
becoming
a
fabric
of
the
community,
there's
a
lot
of
locals
that
still
visit,
and
that's
why
we
don't
have
ten
vehicles
right
that
we
have
the
road.
We
we
think
we
have.
L
The
right
amount
from
the
feasibility
report
to
you
know
have
enough
traction
going
because
we
also
want
to
make
people
come
out
more
during
the
offseason.
So
you
know
we
see
this
more
as
certainly
a
long-term
play.
You
know,
and
it
you
know
very
much
three,
four
or
five
years.
You
know
we
still
want
to
be
here
and
growing
with
the
city
and.
F
L
Absolutely
I
mean
we
do
private
events.
Certainly
we,
you
know,
that's
usually
through
a
contract
where
we'd
say
hey.
This
is
what
we
can
do,
but
absolutely
so
we
do
transportation
for
the
Art,
Fest
and
Fort
Myers,
and
then
we
have
to
get.
You
know
bring
some
of
the
vehicles
in
for
that.
So
that's
definitely
arm
of
our
business
that
we're
happy
to
assist
with.
A
L
L
The
vehicles-
yes,
definitely
you
know
accessible,
we
want
to
make
sure
anyone
with
walkers
or
wheelchairs
are
able
to
assess
that,
and
our
drivers
are
trained
to
very
much.
You
know,
stop
the
vehicles
get
out,
I
mean
that's
that
that's
the
main
thing
that
we
focus
on
would
bring
out.
Brand
ambassadors
is
explaining
the
importance
of
this,
so
it's
definitely
compliant
all
the
way
around.
M
C
L
If
I
can
piggyback
off
that,
that's
fantastic
point,
I
really
appreciate
that
we
actually
have
a
couple
things
planned,
they'll
be
a
great
way.
If
you
get,
you
know,
check
out
our
Facebook
and
you
can
like
that
there
we
have
a
ribbon-cutting
with
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
I,
get
automotive,
the
31st
and
then
we're
doing
a
launch
party
and
we'll
be
giving
away
all
sorts
of
fun
stuff.
L
The
first
for
the
official
launch
and
that's
gonna,
be
at
the
wyvern
hotel
and
we're
gonna
have
free
hors,
d'oeuvres
and
I'll
just
be
a
great
way
to
kind
of
meet
the
team,
because
there's
definitely
quite
a
few
people
involved
to
kind
of
help.
So
it
also
there's
a
Natalia
there
office
manager,
you
know
if
you
guys
want
to
get
in
touch
with
us.
You
know
we're
excited
to
be
part
of
the
community
and
thanks
for
the
warm
welcome.
A

Good
morning,
Lisa
Hannon
zoning
official
in
2015
and
2016,
due
to
some
variance
requests
that
have
come
through
City
Council
directed
staff
to
work
with
emerald
point
to
create
an
overlay
district
which
would
delineate
permitted
setbacks
and
uses
for
each
phase
of
the
development.
So
the
Emerald
Point
condominium
overlay
district
is
established
to
provide
control
to
land
subdivided
within
the
city
through
the
approval
and
recording
of
several
plots
of
subdivisions
entitled.
Enroll
point
condominium
phases,
one
through
six
I
apologize,
there's
a
typo
in
the
staff
report,
but
the
ordinance
is
correct.
K
F
M

A
O
Good
morning,
council,
my
name
is
Tyler
Hyatt
I'd
like
to
thank
the
council
for
initiating
this
process
a
couple
years
ago
and
I'd
also
like
to
thank
Lisa
Hannon
and
her
staff
for
the
patience
and
understanding
of
walking
emerald
point
through
this
process.
None
of
us
at
emerald
point
had
any
understanding
of
the
governmental
process
and
it
was
quite
an
education
I
think
this
document
is
important
to
emerald
point
to
many
of
the
inner
donors
there.
So
I
would
encourage
that
the
board
approve
this
as
presented.
Thank
you.
P
A
F
A
Have
a
motion
a
second
to
approve
za

all
in
favor,
aye

carried
unanimously.
Thank
you.
Okay.
We
have
no
pause,
I
judicial
or
second
readings.
Now
we
move
on
to
consent
agenda,
which
there
are
several
items.
Does
anybody
have
anything
they
wish
to
pull
before?
We
ask
for
a
public
comment?
A
A
Have
a
motion
a
second
to
approve
the
consent
agenda,
all
in
favor

opposed
carried
unanimously.
Okay.
Next,
we
move
into
the
regular
agenda.
So
now
would
be
the
time
for
citizens
comments
on
the
rest
of
the
items
that
are
on
the
agenda,
which
would
be
the
award
to
Wharton
Smith
for
the
guaranteed
maximum

for
the
RO
plant,
the
CIP,
which
is
the
capital

A
Q
Q
Please
participate
with
us
in
a
collaborative
spirit
by
engaging
in
a
conversation
with
us
to
explore
what
that
might
look
like
and
also
some
ideas
on
how
to
fund
it.
We've
got
some
very
good
ideas
there
that
might
help
you
out.
This
is
part
of
our
heat.
This
is
part
of
our
history
that
we're
eager
to
preserve,
but
we
need
your
help
with
that.
Obviously
so
I
thank
you
for
what
you
do
for
our
city
and
and
for
the
time
this
morning,.
R
Hi,
my
name
is
Sheila
Jaeger
I
live
in
the
historic
district
I
see
on
the
agenda
that,
for
the
Gilchrist
parking
lot
options,
only
a
and
C
are
still
into
consideration.
If
I
understand,
I
understand
correctly,
C
is
the
one
the
option
that
only
offers
one
additional
parking
space
for
an
additional
$20,000
in
the
loss
of
forma
tour,
trees
and
I'm,
just
here
on
behalf
of
the
trees
and
I'm,
not
one
additional
parking
spot.
Thank
you.
S
Morning,
I'm
sure
Illinois
I
live
in
Punta
Gorda.
My
name
is
sherry
Lenoir
and
I'm,
representing
a
group
called
Smart
Growth
Punta
Gorda,
which
is
a
citizens
group
whose
mission
is
to
assist
the
city
and
Kate
City
Council
in
retaining
Punta
Gorda
small
hometown
Florida
feel,
while
promoting
smart
growth
and
economic
stability.
The
ax
citizens
participation
in
a
comprehensive
planning
process
in
2005,
the
citizens
of
Punta
Gorda,
presented
the
city
with
an
invaluable
document
through
a
gift
through
the
thing
of
through
a
document
called
the
master
plan.
S
S
It
calls
for
a
Charette
process
to
mak
maximize
citizen
involvement
and
assurance
that
the
surf
Charette
will
take
place
during
season
so
that
all
citizens,
both
those
who
are
who
live
here
full-time
and
our
seasonal,
can
be
heard.
There's
an
educational
component,
that's
included
to
ensure
that
best
practices
are
known
by
the
citizens
and
are
used,
but
the
first
draft
also
has
some
serious
deficiencies.
S
First,
we
believe
that
citizen
involvement,
every
step
is
paramount,
beginning
with
the
RFP.
Please
allow
the
citizens
the
to
voice
what
they
think
should
be
included
in
the
scope
of
work
and
selection
criteria.
This
idea
for
visiting
the
master
plan
was
only
introduced
a
few
weeks
ago,
and
now
we
suddenly,
we
have
the
first
draft
of
the
RFP.
The
city
occasionally
does
work
very
efficiently,
which
is
great.
However,
we
believe
this
result.
S
Visit
of
the
master
plan
will
serve
as
the
guiding
force
for
punta
gorda
future,
so
give
us
some
time
to
digest
to
research
and
to
organize
our
input.
Let
us
be
heard.
Second,
this
draft
of
the
RFP
seems
to
be
lacking,
one
of
the
key
components
necessary
for
an
intelligent
selection
of
a
firm
but
criteria
for
selection.
What
will
be
the
basis
for
judging
and
selecting
the
firm
to
conduct?
This
important
task
is
the
mess
the
National
Institute
for
national
charrette
institute.
Sorry
I
forget
how
it
goes.
S
The
National
asura
Institute
has
some
guidelines
that
they
have
put
forth
this
to
house.
First
should
be
selected
one
of
the
things
they
suggested
they're,
saying
Furnham
be
selective.
It
has
no
fewer
than
eight
of
these
charettes
successfully
conducted
with
citizens
of
cities
of
the
same
size.
We
don't
know
how
this
firm
is
going
to
be
selected,
and
we
seriously
hope
that
you
will
allow
us
to
put
some
criteria
and
one
spouse
criteria
are
set
forth,
that
you
allow
the
citizens
to
help
even
in
selecting
the
firm
that
is
to
be
developed.
S
T
Lisa
Wenger
PGI,
like
Sheree
I,
also
represent
Smart
Growth
Punta
Gorda.
We
are
a
citizens
based
collective
and
we
would
like
to
be
included
as
a
voice
prior
to
the
master
plan
RFP
being
submitted
for
bids.
In
consideration
of
that
proposal,
we
suggest
the
following
criteria
be
included.
The
acquisition
strategy
should
require
a
presentation
by
the
top
candidates
to
be
made
to
the
council.
T
A
U
U
We're
excited
to
see
the
process
for
developing
more
specific
concepts
moving
forward
and
we
look
forward
to
being
involved
as
one
of
the
key
groups
utilizing
the
site.
Now,
like
many
engaged
citizens,
we
have
been
working
to
understand
what
can
be
done
to
make
the
future
use
of
Gilchrist
Park
most
beneficial
for
the
community.
We
have
looked
at
many
other
waterfront
and
non
waterfront
options
to
understand
what
is
available
and
what
we
can
learn.
I
would
like
to
share
some
insight
that
we
have
developed
about
what
is
needed
for
the
future
to
help
frame.
U
The
next
phase
that
has
been
discussed
will
be
discussed
today
when
canvassing
community
members
about
what
they'd
like
to
do
in
a
Gilchrist
facility.
The
survey
that
was
done
was
open-ended
without
consideration
for
end-user
cost,
but
over
the
last
65
years
that
our
club
has
existed.
Our
members
have
spoken
loud
and
clear:
they
love
being
on
the
water,
but
the
cost
of
using
the
facility
is
an
important
consideration.
U
That's
why
our
annual
dues
annual
are
just
a
hundred
dollars.
We're
unique
in
that
regard.
In
addition,
the
thousand
or
so
non-members
who
use
our
facilities
are
also
very
cost-conscious
as
well.
The
typical
group
that
uses
the
Punta
Gorda
Boat
Club
pays
less
than
$10
an
hour
to
do
so.
It's
a
real
bargain
in
the
community.
U
Why
is
it
so
little?
It's
because
those
people,
like
our
members,
want
to
use
the
gilchrist
facility
and
they're
very
cost-conscious
as
well
sure
we'd,
all
like
a
huge
gleaming
modern
facility
on
the
waterfront
managed
by
the
city
to
make
it
easy,
but
we
don't
think
the
end-users
can
afford
that.
We
strongly
encourage
that.
An
important
dimension
of
design
must
be
a
focus
on
affordability,
both
from
an
initial
cost
perspective
and
ongoing
operating
expense.
U
We'd
like
to
see
a
right
priced
and
right
sized
facility
that
fulfills
our
citizens
needs
both
for
their
specific
use
and
also
be
within
their
budget,
although
it
may
not
be
as
alluring
as
a
new
facility
use
of
the
existing
buildings
with
modification
should
be
considered
as
a
more
affordable
option.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
M
M
So
that
process
will
take
effect
as
soon
as
you
approve
the
guaranteed
maximum
price,
we're
still
waiting
for
sign-off
from
the
state
revolving
loan
fund,
which
we've
been
using
a
low-interest
loan
to
cover
our
portion,
and
we
pay
back
the
debt
service
over
time.
So
we're
ready
to
go
ready
to
get
started
on
construction
and
get
this
thing
done.
So.
A
V
Is
correct
and
it
also
does
not
include
any
savings
we
can.
We
can
get
while
doing
the
process.
Wharton,
Smith
and
Tyler
are
here,
and
they
did
all
the
heavy
lifting
on
this
with
Marion.
They
have
dozens
and
dozens
of
hours,
and
we
we
hope
to
to
even
reduce
that
further
while
we're
doing
it,
but
no,
it
does
not
include
change
orders.
Thank.
H
W
A
F
Want
to
say
that
in
my
tenure
up
here
and
my
experience
in
water
treatment,
which
is
why
I
got
interested
in
this,
this
has
been
a
well-engineered
project.
It's
been
a
well-managed
project,
it
is
a
project
that
is
demonstrates,
as
I've
stated
before,
that
we
have
an
incredible
staff
that
knows
how
to
manage
projects
properly.
This
is
going
to
be
a
great
asset
for
the
city
of
Punta
Gorda,
for
probably
the
next
hundred
years,
actually
because
it's
gonna
give
us
plenty
of
water
for
growth.
F
It's
gonna
give
us
plenty
of
capacity,
we're
already
addressing
the
the
discharge
end
of
it,
which
is
going
to
keep
us
in
a
any
position
to
be
a
valuable
functioning
and
for
structured
community
in
the
future.
So
I
want
to
commend
all
of
you
guys.
This
is
a
great
step
and
I
think
we
should
just
go
forward.
Thank
you
agreed.

X
X
X
This
is
the
proposed
Performa
for
fiscal
year.
Nineteen
through
2023,
based
on
the
current
projects
and
I,
did
want
to
point
out
that
in
the
proposed
19
there
is
a
beginning
carryover
of
a
hundred
fifteen
thousand,
which
we'll
talk
about
in
just
a
few
minutes,
but
all
the
other
projects
are
coming
either
from
general
funds.
X
X
So
this
is
the
again
general
construction
fund
and
we
broke
it
up
into
the
sections.
So
it's
very
easy
to
see.
What's
coming
from
the
different
sources
of
financing,
we're
gonna
go
through
each
particular
project
very
quickly.
Unless
you
want
to
talk
about
one
in
more
particular,
so
we
do
have
our
national
pollutant
discharge,
elimination
system
and
the
only
thing
I
want
to
say
about
that
one
is.
X
The
storm
sewer
reconstruction
is
our
standard
program
of
seventy
five,
seventy-five
thousand
per
year
and
then
bridge
repair
ten
thousand
per
year,
all
three
of
those
projects
when
the
funds
are
unspent,
carryover
because
there's
usually
another
project
coming
up
that
they
can
use
the
funds
on
going
into
our
drainage
improvement
program.
This
is
the
newer
program
we're
in
fiscal
year.
Eighteen
is
our
second
year
where
we
transferred
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
over
for
drainage
improvement
in
the
prior
year's
funding.
You'll
see
eight
eighty
five
and
that's
where
I
want
to
talk
about
the
115,000.
X
Carry
over
the
current
contractor
could
not
finish
the
project,
so
we're
back
out
to
bid
so
we're
behind
schedule
on
our
drainage
improvements
program,
so
they
will
not
probably
be
able
to
fully
catch
up,
even
though
they
will
work
to
catch
up
the
program,
so
they're
115,000
that
we're
asking
to
move
from
that
program
will
fund
three
other
projects
coming
up
down
below
the
fire
apparatus.
Replacement
has
increased.
It
was
at
seven
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
in
prior
years,
but
that
number
had
been
used
for
quite
a
few
years.
X
The
cost
has
gone
up
to
eight
hundred
thousand.
In
fiscal
year.
Twenty
the
Cooper
Street
rec
roof
replacement
was
in
our
current
budget
for
sixty
thousand
when
they
went
out
to
bid
the
bits
were
a
lot
higher.
So
that's
where
the
first
sixty
thousand
out
of
that
one
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand,
we
would
like
to
use
to
fund
the
additional
mount
needed
to
actually
replace
that
roof.
X
Lashley
Park
playground
equipment
needs
to
be
replaced
and
that's
twenty
five
thousand,
and
that
was
a
new
request.
This
year
and
the
engineering
room
for
renovation,
thirty
thousand-
and
that
would
be
those
three
items-
were
the
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
Bethel
Street
mark
I'm,
sorry
Bethel
st.
mark
initiatives.
X
We
have
the
fifty
thousand
per
year
in
the
program.
The
assessment
section
is
the
additional
access
to
Charlotte
Harbor
and
with
that
project
we
are
currently
still
in
the
design
phase.
We
don't
do
not
have
a
full
construction
cost
yet,
but
if
that
project
does
go
forward,
we
would
expect
an
assessment
for
the
benefited
properties,
the
grant
funding
section.
These
are
current
grants
that
we
know
have
been
approved
through
either
F
dot
or
other
funding
sources.
X
We
have
the
alligator
Creek
us
forty
one

at
Carmelita,

extension
and
the
amounts
currently
shown
are
just
for
the
design
and
pre

The
construction
is
in
a

out
year,
us

construction,
you'll
notice,
the
asterisks
in
fiscal

Nineteen,
they
are
not
funding
the
design,
so
the
city
is
paying
for
the
design
out
of
the
one
percent
sales
tax
and
that
will
be
on
the
next
sheet
for
park
impacts.
X
We
currently
have
eighty
thousand

per
year
and
the
current
budget
is
currently

on
the

Does
not
want
to
do
that,
we
don't
have
to
do
that,
but
our
recommendation
is
we're
still
gonna
have
a
contractor
come
in
still
gonna
have
$500,000
some
work
to
be
done.
If
you
want
to
take
the
115
and
add
it
to
drainage,
keep
it
in
drainers.
That's
fine
and
we'll
just
take
the
other
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
and
recommend
taking
that
out
of
general
fund
reserves.
M
C
A
And
as
far
as
the
program
goes,
I
think
they've
they've
planned
it
out
so
that
maybe
Rick
could
speak
to
that
so
that
that's
the
amount
of
work
done
in
a
fiscal
year,
just
like
our
paving.
So
unless
we
want
to
accelerate
and
I
don't
know
you
know,
if
that's
even
possible,
you
want
to
just
speak
to
that
quickly.
M
115,000
is
left
over
from
year,
one
they
still
have
five
hundred
thousand
and
year
two.
So
there
is
plenty
of
work.
It's
we
have
a
new
contractor
coming
on
board,
but
go
go
ahead.
P
A
F
Think
the
people
should
be
responsible
for
their
own
lot
say
that
for
years
this
is
we
are.
We
are
running
a
deficit.
We
have
this
in
budget
I
know
I'm,
not
gonna,
move
anybody,
but
I
just
think
that
people
should
be
responsible
for
their
own
lot
and
their
own.
They
should
be
paying
for
the
repair
that
needs
to
be
on
their
lap
if
they're
unable
to
do
it
themselves.
That's
all
I
want
to
say.
A
A
F
Of
their
property,
that's
a
property
maintain
the
proper
quality
there
a
lot
we
enforce
other
codes
on
people
all
the
time,
whether
it's
a
fence
or
whatever
I,
don't
see
that
this
personally
is
any
different
than
that.
This
isn't
like
what
we're
talking
about
and
the
boca
grande,
where
you
really
have
a
serious
infrastructure
issue,
and
it
was
the
right
thing
to
do
for
that.
F
Neighborhood,
that's
a
difference,
different
standpoint,
but
when
we
first
started
talking
about
this,
I
went
ahead
and
after
listening
to
mark
and
I
thank
my
I've
got
the
wrong
kind
of
grass
and
I.
Thank
my
my
swale,
which
I
happen
to
be,
and
the
the
storm
sewer
is
on
my
property
right
on
the
border.
My
property
and
my
block
doesn't
flood
and
it
was
built
in
1960.
The
block
I've
just
seen
that
as
responsible
neighbors,
if
our
property
is
affecting
our
neighbor,
we
should
be
responsible
for
our
own
personal
lot.
F
M
H
M
H
F
Carries
I
have
saved
my
peace,
I
mean
we're.
You
know
we're
gonna
be
dealing.
What
later
on
discussion
with
the
fact
that
we
do
have
an
inadequate
reserve
but
I
understand,
work,
we've
gone
down
this
path
and
we
have
to
continue
so
I'm,
not
gonna
put
a
monkey
wrench
in
it.
I
just
wanted
to
say
my
piece
I've
been
consistent
on
this.
X
Okay,
thank
you.
Okay,
so
going
on
to
the
1%
sales
tax,
this
fund
is
mostly
just
the
1%
local
option.
Sales
tax.
However,
once
in
a
while
there
may
be
a
grant,
that's
funding
a
portion
of
it
or
transfer
from
another
division,
but
in
our
current
program
it's
all
just
1%.
At
this
time
again.
Here's
our
pro
forma
proposed
19
through
2023,
beginning
reserves
or
on
projects
that
haven't
happened
yet
are
750
4000
and
we'll
go
through
the
various
projects.
X
Council-Chamber
equipment
is
currently
in
this
year's
funding.
It
was
carryover
money
and
those
projects
are
still
happening
as
we
continue
to
upgrade
the
City
Hall
and
the
Chamber's
last
Lashley
Park
parking.
This
project
will
be
coming
to
you
later,
but
it's
to
be
appropriated,
so
it
hasn't
been
appropriated
yet,
but
the
plans
have
been
in
process.
The
engineer's
estimate
was
two
hundred
and
five
thousand,
but
we're
hearing
it's
gonna
cost
more
than
that
we
are
looking
again.
This
is
one
of
the
projects.
X
W
Again,
Mary
and
pays
procurement
manager.
Currently
the
public
works
engineer
is
verifying
the
low
bid
with
the
engineer
to
see
why,
because
they
sed
Southwest
engineering
design,
their
estimate
was
one
hundred
and
forty
six
thousand
our
engineers
was
two
hundred
five
thousand,
so
they're
convert
communicating
with
SED
to
see
you
know
if
these
prices
are
still
on
board
or
you
know
what
may
be
the
factor,
but
the
goal
is
to
have
it
on
the
agenda
for
June
6th.
X
Ponce
de
Leon
Park
redesigning
construction.
The
current
estimate
is
750
5,000.
We
have
already
had
three
hundred
and
five
thousand
in
the
one
percent
sales
tax
set
aside
for
this
project,
so
450
thousand
remains
unfunded
drainage
improvements,
Boca
Grande
area.
This
again
has
been
an
ongoing
project.
Current
total
project
cost
is
approximately
four
million
dollars.
We
have
the
1
million
that
we've
been
had
set
aside
with
the
one
percent
sales
tax.
X
X
Harbor
walk
was
Harbor,
walk,
West,
restrooms,
sorry,
a
tongue
twister.
We
currently
had
in
the
budget
for
construction.
Five
hundred
fifty
thousand
there
was
some
carryover
money
for
design
with
the
first
restroom
being
bid
and
seeing
the
prices
come
in
a
lot
higher.
They
also
we
increased
this
cost
for
the
second
restrooms,
so
we
added
it
to
the
budget.
X
Harbor
walk
west,
amend
design,
construction
for
area
2a
and
2b.
Again
you
had
that
in
another
council
meeting
and
we
coming
back
to
you.
Currently
we
only
had
one
point:
five
in
the
fiscal
year
18
for
this
project
and
we're
adding
one
point
one
if
you
would
like
to
keep
going
forward
with
the
project.
So
two
point:
six
is
the
current
estimate
on
that
sidewalk
improvements
phase.
One
again,
those
are
four
connections
of
sidewalks
eighty-eight.
Curb
improvements
used
to
be
known
as
intersection
treatments.
X
What's
currently
in
the
budget
is
the
hundred
thousand
for
fiscal
year.
Nineteen.
They
were
asking
for
eighty
thousand
per
year
for
the
rest
of
the
years,
so
that
part
remains
unfunded.
At
three
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
a
DA
improvements.
Again,
we
have
our
trans
a
da
transition
plan.
Now
they
are
moving
forward
with
the
fiscal
year.
Eight
projects
fiscal
year,
eighteen
I'm,
sorry,
projects
fiscal
year.
Nineteen
we
have
485.
