Description
A
Believed
that
moms
had
passed
and
they
hadn't
done
the
second
reading
I
had
a
few
slides.
I
I
want
to
show
regard
to
this,
because
I
went
to
the
Medical
Marijuana
symposium
that
was
sponsored
by
the
League
of
Cities
and
was
conjunction
with
the
actual
lobbyists
that
actually
worked
for
the
dispensaries
and
they
organized
this
and
what
I'm
gonna
show
you
is.
A
This
is
an
employment
lawyer
that
that
was
invited
as
well
as
the
researcher
we
can
just
I,
don't
have
to
give
you
the
whole
presentation,
but
if
you
and
I
can
everyone
can
have
this?
But
basically
this
is
showing
that
the
issue
this
this
was
brought
up
by
the
Lobby
themselves.
They
gave
the
legislature
language
in
which
the
language
actually
said
that
met
that
marijuana
was
was
listed
as
a
medicine
as
it
is
in
Colorado
and
New
York
in
doing
so
in
a
million's.
A
The
very
serious
labor
law
implications
that
we
now
presently
have
at
this
point
now,
unless
an
employer
specifically
goes
and
says
that
they
allow
this
in
a
workplace.
The
worker
is
then
subject
to
pretty
much
the
law
when
it
comes
to
the
Florida
drug-free
workplace
Act,
which
means
that
if
their
employer
does
not
specifically
do
it,
because
the
state
does
not
say
that
this
is
a
medicine,
they
then
will
be
an
illicit
drug
user.
Not
only
will
they
possibly
lose
their
job
and
possibly
their
a
career
depending
on
feel
they're
in
also
they're
disabled
person.
A
They're
ADH
status
also
is
gonna,
be
lost
as
well.
These
are
things
which
the
the
dispensary
Lobby
themselves
say.
We
need
to
address.
I
mentioned
this
because
we're
only
two
months
away
from
from
from
going
into
session
I,
don't
see
why
we
would
undo
ourselves
the
only
thing
that's
gonna
have
a
legislature
look
at
possibly
changing
these
problems,
which
the
the
spent
trees
themselves
do
not
want
it
like
this.
They
themselves
don't
like
the
law.
A
The
way
it
is
because
it
affects
both
only
it
takes
the
patient's
rights
away,
but
also
it
also
jeopardizes
employers,
because
also
because
it's
not
seen
as
a
medicine.
If
someone
were
to
have
an
accident
on
the
job-
and
they
were
on
this
medicine,
they,
the
employer
now
is
also
liable.
For
that
case,
and
again,
these
are
things
which
the
lobby
themselves
gave
legislature
to
ameliorate
this
issue.
A
Secondly,
the
one
good
thing
about
the
laws
that
they
did
put
in,
that
Florida
can
do
research
on
medical
marijuana,
because
at
this
point
right
now
there
are
no
standards
whatsoever.
The
patient
knows
as
much
as
the
doctor
is
how
much
they
should
get
for
for
their
particular
disorder.
There
are
no
rules
whatsoever,
so
Moffitt
Cancer
Center,
and
the
next
slide
is
showing
that
they
have
actually
put
together
a
total
testing
regime
that
they
can
actually
test.
This
get
the
dosage
for
for
the
patients.
They
did
not
appropriate
any
money
for
this.
A
What
I'm
asking
is
that
we
actually
stay
the
course
in
terms
of
being
with
the
majority
of
cities
and
just
come
as
a
unified
group
to
tell
the
legislature
that
we
need
something
that's
acceptable,
because
we
have
these
three
main
issues:
one.
We
have
to
choose
a
limited
number
or
nine,
which
is
ridiculous.
A
I
think
we
should
have
the
right
to
decide
how
many
of
anything
is
in
our
instant,
our
city,
that
we
should
have
it
so
that
they
should
change
this
and
make
this
recognize
as
a
medicine,
because,
additionally,
as
is
that
like
in
Colorado,
they
have
it
so
that
the
only
time
that
an
employer
is
able
to
hold
marijuana
use
against
the
employees
if
they
do
it
off
the
job
as
opposed
to
on
the
job.
The
point
being
is
that
this
is
something
that
can
be
fixed.
This
is
not
like
dreamland.
A
This
is
something
that
the
legislature
can
very
easily
fix.
They
actually
had
the
language
in
their
position
that
you
chose
not
to
do
it,
for
whatever
political
reasons
and
three
they
can
appropriately
enter
for
research.
I
just
find
that
that
I
don't
see
why
we
can't
wait
only
two
months,
I
I,
don't
see
why
we
have
to
undo
ourselves
and
just
break
away
from
the
fold
cuz.
A
This
is
like
hunter
101
when
someone
hunts,
what
you
want
to
do
is
separate
one
from
the
crowd
and
therefore
is
very
easy
to
take
you
out
in
our
case,
I
find
that
that
we
do
have
unity
with
every
city
that
came
to
this,
this
Pacific
Ocean
that
was
exposed
to
the
lectures
from
the
lobby,
as
well
as
from
the
employment
laws
as
well
as
the
dispensaries.
They
all
came
to
consensus
that
it's
best
for
us
to
just
give
this
back
to
the
legislature.
We're
talking
about
January
we're
in
November.
A
This
is
this
is
not
gonna
hurt
anyone
and
the
reason
why
even
dispensaries
are
not
even
opened
yet
in
big
mass
in
Florida's,
because
they're
waiting
to
see
what
that's,
what
changes
would
be
and
I
just
hope
that
we
doing
that
break
away
from
the
fold
and
really
bring
harm
to
our
residents.
I
find
that,
though
this
name
look
like
we're
helping
a
resident.
If
we
know
for
a
fact,
there's
going
to
be
adverse
issues
for
patients.
A
If
they
take
this
medicine,
they
can't
lose
their
career
and
really
ruin
their
life
over
simply
take
it
and
relief
for
for
an
ailment,
an
employer
can
be
legally
liable
for
the
use
of
this
person
on
the
job
and
3
we
should
have.
This
is
this
is
from
the
researcher
at
Moffett,
they've
created
a
whole
methodology
for
creating
dosage,
because
in
the
United
States
there's
no
dosage,
but
in
Florida
in
particular.
A
There
is
no
kind
of
a
way
that
a
doctor
this
prescribing
this
has
any
kind
of
methodology
and
I
find
that
just
I,
don't
know
why
we
can't
just
wait.
Two
lumps
let
the
legislature
we
revisit
this
and
our
chances
of
us
getting.
What
we
want
are
much
stronger
if
we
just
stay
the
course.
If
we
break
away
from
this
there's
a
disincentive
for
them
to
address
it
in
the
law
stays
the
way
it
is,
and
our
people
are
actually
more
danger.
B
B
D
Amazed
it,
but
also
with
previous
discussions,
how
other
governments
can
make
what
should
be
simple,
such
as
the
solutions,
whether
it's
FEMA
or
the
state
of
Florida,
much
more
complicated
and
annoying
than
they
should
be.
I,
unfortunately
feel
that
we
should
stay
the
course
at
this
moment,
however,
I
applaud
the
county
for
a
pass.
You
know,
there's
one
of
the
difficulties
with
this
particular
issue
is
Jogja
points
out
when
it
comes
to
prescribing.
This
is
that
there
hasn't
been
sufficient
medical
research
done
on
this
particular
issue,
because
it
is
a
Schedule
one.
D
On
a
federal
level,
there
was
some
information
put
out
back
in
March
in
scientific
America.
That
shows
that
those
areas
that
do
have
have
approved
marijuana's
have
reduced
opioid,
both
prescription
and
non-prescription
overdoses,
but
these
are
raw
numbers
and
they're,
not
definitive
numbers
at
this
point
in
time,
I
am
certainly
willing
to
consider
and
I
know,
but
has
put
this
right
out
there
to
hold
off
the
see
which
direction
tally.
Acid
is
going,
but
I
want
to
tell
you
they
do,
even
if
they
do
not
go
in
a
better
direction
in
the
next
couple
months.
D
If,
if
this
comes
before
so
I'm
going
to
vote
for
that,
we
go
forward,
I'm,
just
I'm
taking
pause,
but
I
want
to
state
this
I
think
this
is
a.
This
is
an
issue
that
we
should
go
forward
as
a
community
I'm
taking
pause
at
the
moment,
not
to
be
just
I'd,
prefer
to
see
Tallahassee
take
care
of
some
of
these
other
issues
for
us,
including
the
home
issue
issue
and
some
of
the
medical
issues,
but
I
think
we
should
go
forward
here
sometime
next
year.
E
E
F
A
One
thing
on
that:
no
the
leadership
of
the
Senate
is
different
and
actually
it's
the
senator
who
actually
brought
forth
the
research
aspect.
He
XE
was
against
it
itself,
but
he
was
open
to
it
because
he
did
see.
There's
no
go
value
so
I'm
saying
from
a
standpoint.
Maybe
the
house
is
consistent,
but
I
think
the
Senate.
We
do
have
a
possibility
of
some
leadership
change
in
terms
of
how
they
view
this
and
ultimately
this
is
this
is
a
Senate
bill
and
so
I
just
see
that.
Would
you
just
wait
today?
B
E
I'm,
really
with
Lyn
that
you
know
where
the
torch
Bistro
is
the
back
of
that
room.
The
building
is
for
rent
I
mean
a
dispensary,
could
go
in
there
and
it's
that's
even
closer
than
down
41,
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
buildings,
i41
that
are
being
a
bunch
of
vacant
building
some
41,
so
I
feel
that
you
know
it's
something
that
and
I
understand.
E
G
A
Public
didn't
vote
for
what
we
have.
The
public
voted
for
much
different
thing.
This
law
is
a
political
contraption
that
was
created
really
for
next
year's
election.
To
be
honest,
so
we're
dealing
with
nonsense.
This
is
I
think
that
we
actually
I
just
think
that
and
I
agree
with
actually
everything.
A
You
said
for
that
very
reason,
because
of
the
inevitability
of
it,
I
think
we
have
nothing
more
than,
though
our
residents
the
chance
that
we
can
make
I'll
build
a
safer
for
them,
because
at
this
point
now
they
can
put
their
actual
life
in
danger
based
on
getting
a
medicine
for
health
issue.
I
find
that
to
be
crazy,
I
find
to
be
very
unfair
and
terror.
Well,
someone
should
could
take
medicine
to
relieve
an
issue
and
they're
faced
with
with
the
possibility
of
losing
their
career.
B
Because
the
FAC
and
the
floor
League,
you
know
it's
they're
all
in
the
same
position
as
well,
so
I
mean
I,
do
feel
like
give
it
a
couple
months
and
then
then
we
can
see
because,
like
we
said
last
time,
there's
delivery
options.
I
mean
that's
happening
already,
so
so
and
if
you
know
like
somebody
does
apply
in
the
county,
it
could
be
in
the
back
of
the
torch.
If
that's
a
zoning,
where
a
pharmacy
could
go
I'm,
not
sure,
but
it
seems
like
it
would.
It
would
so.
D
Really,
what
I'm
saying
is
I
this
is
what
I'm
saying
is
pause
is
to
give
a
couple
months
to
see
if
the
state
will
do
the
right
thing
and
if
they
don't
take
the
best
proactive
decision
which
I
think
is
to
go
forward,
but
I
think
that's
it's
worth
giving
pause
until
what
February
March
whatever
it
is
and
then
bring
it
up,
and
then
I
want
to
thank
you
for
bringing
this
back
up
again,
because
this
is
a
discussion
that
we
need
to.
Have
it's
not
an
easy
one.
D
E
E
E
C
E
G
A
We
tried
we
try
to
protect
our
residents.
I
if
we
have
someone
right
now,
who
will
just
say,
they're
suffering
from
serious
cancer
pain,
and
they
have
to
take
this
because
the
only
thing
that
brings
of
relief,
but
the
consequence
is
that
they
lose
their
career
I,
find
it
to
be
horrible,
where
there's
a
chance,
possibly
that
a
chance
that
they
may
be
able
to
do
not
have
this
as
an
issue.
A
G
B
G
B
F
F
E
F
E
F
F
B
H
B
G
H
H
H
I
H
H
J
J
B
A
H
We
move
on
to
boards
and
committees
I
just
what
is
your
pleasure
with
respect
to
the
presence
of
the
City
Attorney
at
the
workshop
next
week,
the.
B
H
J
It
seems
to
me
that
it
would
not
be
appropriate
to
move
forward
with
nominations
at
this
time,
given
that
our
bylaws
are
would
be
in
disagreement
with
the
people
that
were
nominating.
We
also
have
received
an
application
from
a
gentleman
who
has
very
good
qualifications,
but
he
is
not
a
city
resident.
The
ordinance
states
that
that
applicants
can
be
County
residents
as
well
as
city
residents,
so
you
know
we
would
like
to
consider
him,
but
the
bylaws,
don't
the
bylaws
specify
applicants
have
to
be
City
residents.
J
So
again,
we've
come
up
against
where
we
we
have
a
disagreement
between
whether
or
not
someone
can
be
considered
you
know,
other
other
other
things
to
consider
is
that
miss
Beaufort
Johnson
has
already
accepted
her
plaque
because
she
exceeded
the
allowed
number
of
terms.
We
could
always
invite
her
to
come
back.
J
J
Those
were
the
two
individuals
that
we
were
considering
inviting
to
continue,
but
again
that
that's
in
violation
of
the
way
the
bylaws
are
written.
So
this
the
idea
is
that
possibly
we
could
delay
filling
the
vacancies.
We
have
two
alternates
who
regularly
attend
the
meetings
and
could
fill
in
for
those
two
vacancies.
J
While
we
take
a
step
back
and
have
the
board
look
at
the
bylaws
and
the
ordinance
and
then
make
a
recommendation
to
City
Council
to
rewrite
those
bylaws
so
that
they're
for
them
to
decide
what
what
the
bylaws
should
be
and
and
so
that
they
are
in
agreement
with
the
ordinance,
though,
that
is
where
I'm
at
with
the
vacancies
for
HPB
right
now.
So.
J
B
H
I
H
J
B
H
J
B
E
J
A
C
J
Okay,
continuing
under
vacancies,
then
we
have
an
unexpired
term
as
an
alternate
on
the
building
board,
an
unexpired
term
on
the
utility
advisory
board,
and
we
also
have
a
three-year
term.
As
the
city's
representative
on
the
Charlotte
County
marine
Advisory
Committee,
and
we
are
asking
for
input
from
the
voters.
Alliance
from.
J
Advisory
boards,
BSI
and
PGI,
and
we've
also
asked
the
PGI
Civic
Association
to
post
that
on
their
bulletin
board,
and
the
chairman
of
the
BSI
has
asked
the
Civic
Association
to
post
that
as
well
as
I
believe
it
was
in
a
newsletter.
So
we're
really
getting
the
word
out
and
hopefully
we'll
get
some
good
applicants.
What
is
the
cutoff
for.
G
J
J
J
B
And
the
newspaper
did
the
big
story
about
how
we
we
mean
in
how
cities
participate,
and
you
know
we've
been
doing
this
with
no
budget
expending
funds
of
our
own
and
honestly
to
make
it
sustainable
I
think
we
need
a
small
budget.
For
instance,
we
needed
lighting,
so
I
brought
in
a
light,
stand
courtesy
of
Keesling
construction,
because
that's
what
we
needed
to
do,
because
we
have
no
no
funding
for
this
event,
so
I
feel
like
if
it's
gonna
be
sustainable,
we
need
to
maybe
you
know,
2000
maximum.
B
The
committee
that
puts
it
together
does
a
lot
of
work
and
planning
and
I
would
think
that
they
could
come
up
with.
You
know
something
how
did
how
to
spend
the
money?
We
did
do
very
well
with
the
Pentagon,
our
Civic
Association
candy
donations,
but
you
know
with
that.
That's
a
lot
of
work
to
you
know,
there's
work
that
goes
into
going
around
and
securing
donations
as
well.
So
even
if
we
had
a
small
budget,
I
think
it
would
make
it
more
sustainable,
especially
because
we
have
a
lot
of
new
people.
New
employees
coming
in.
B
What
we've
tried
to
do
is
keep
it
early
for
the
younger,
younger
kids,
so
I
think
we
ended
up
going
to
almost
7:35
to
7:30
last
night
and
two
and
a
half
hours
was
enough,
but
I
just
would
like
your
consideration
on
and
thinking
about
this
and
whether
or
not,
if
you're
interested
in
letting
it
continue.
I
think
it
does
need
some
type
of
funding
from
the
city
I.
E
E
If
the
those
that
are
going
to
put
it
on
I
see
this
similar
to
the
Christmas
and
the
lighting
of,
if
the
city
is
going
to
continue
to
lead
the
lighting
of
the
Christmas
tree,
that
there
needs
to
be
something
that
we
should
probably
have
some
sort
of
minimal
budget,
two
different
expenses.
I
know.
You
know
someone
approached
me
on
that.
E
We
don't
have
the
the
drama
bugle,
the
the
bagpipes
coming,
I
meant
as
opposed
to
drumming
vehicle,
but
anyway,
that
we
don't
have
the
bagpipes
coming,
because
it
was
going
to
be
a
five
hundred
dollar
charge
and
people
love
the
bagpipes.
And
you
know
so
it's
it's
those
kinds
of
things.
If,
if
we
are
going
to
as
a
city,
be
the
lead
on
something
like
this
then
seems
like
there
should
be
some
something
but
I,
don't
know
what
that
should
be.
E
D
This
was
my
first
Halloween
in
Punta
Carretas.
Traditionally,
I
went
to
another
state
to
be
with
other
grandchildren,
but
I
had
the
opportunity
to
take
my
little
20-month,
the
grandson
to
the
City
Hall
I'm
from
Chicago
and
st.
Patrick's.
Day
is
a
really
big
thing.
This
is
a
little
conflict
that
Gorda
Halloween
is
a
really
big
thing.
I
mean
Nancy
separately,
we're
having
dinner
with
other
people
and
Leroy
should
come
out.
There
was
thousands
of
people
out
there.
There
were
all
these
immature
kids
from
from
one
year
old
to
85
or
90.
D
B
D
A
B
C
B
We'll
come
back
with
some
kind
of
recommendation.
That's
good
thanks!
The
other
thing
is
the
tree.
Lighting
will
be
a
month
from
today.
Time
is
a-ticking
Friday
December
1st,
we're
finalizing
our
posters,
so
we'll
get
those
out
plastered
everywhere
in
PDF
too,
with
the
weekly
highlights
and
all
that.
So
it
starts
at
5:30
on
Friday,
December,
1st
and
we'll
go
to
about
8
o'clock,
and
we
have
said
that
we're
gonna
light
the
tree
at
7:15,
because
that
is
the
question.
B
B
And
get
situated
so
then-
and
we
are
closing
Marian
Avenue
this
year
for
public
safety
reasons,
and
so
the
road
will
close
around
2:30
3
o'clock,
4
o'clock
ish
determining
with
with
Dave
Myers
and
his
crew,
because
we
don't
want
to
impede
downtown
business.
We
want
to
say
I
think
we
said
four
actually
between
4:00
and
4:30,
but
the
parking
along
Marion
is
going
to
be
until
2:30
and
then
we'll
start
coding
off
the
spots
down
a
Marion.
So
there'll
be
more
information
to
come
on
that
at
the
next
council
meeting.
A
Nothing
I
mean
maybe,
except
for
that
night
we
have
nothing
but
the
blues
and
we're
going
to
Shepherd
all
the
people
to
the
tree-lighting.
G
I'm,
just
one
quick
thing:
a
citizen
asked
me
if
we
are
aware
that
people
are
using
the
parking
garage
to
park
their
private
vehicles,
we
have
a
couple
of
vehicles
on
one
of
the
upper
floors
and
they
appear
to
be
sport.
Car
kind
of
vehicles
that
are
that
have
covers
on
them,
so
they've
been
there
for
quite
some
time.
Are
we
aware
of
that?
And
we.
F
G
E
D
I
already
put
my
slide
up
so
again.
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
for
helping
us
through
a
very
tumultuous
period
since
Erma
and
I
commend
you
and
continuous
for,
through
whatever
wasn't
gonna
even
do
to
deal
with
the
canals,
but
I
just
do
have
one
other
comment.
I
too,
have
been
lobbied
by
the
bank
pipe
players.
They
have
assured
me
that
they
would
also
be
capable
of
playing
dreidel,
dreidel,
dreidel
and
so
I
would
encourage
that
in
the
future
that
we
also
consider
that
putting
them
back
on
the
agenda.
B
K
Mike
ershon
I
don't
need
three
minutes.
I
would
just
request
that
the
city
manager
or
whatever
channels
are
supposed
to
occur,
direct
the
police
department
to
train
officers
to
understand
because
it's
complicated
what
what
is
permitted
and
what
is
not
permitted
and
where
it's
permitted
in
terms
of
First
Amendment
activities
near
the
Vietnam
Memorial.
We
now
have
two
lines
you
know
outside
one
line.
K
You
can
pretty
much
do
whatever
you
want
under
the
First
Amendment
without
electronic
amplification
and
then
there's
another
line,
fifty
feet
from
the
boundary
the
that
outside
of
which
you
were
allowed
to
use
electronic
amplification.
So
we
don't
have
any
misunderstandings
during
moments
of
potential
tension.
It
would
be
nice
if
the
police
officers
in
this
city
we're
trained
to
understand,
what's
permitted
in
what
isn't
permitted
and
where.
Thank
you.
