If no other public comments, we'll close the public hearing

62
00:03:36.425 --> 00:03:39.565

Can we get a second? Second at this time,

79
00:04:47.985 --> 00:04:50.765
is there any, um, discussion from the board?

80
00:04:54.485 --> 00:04:58.535
All in favor, aye. Aye. Thank you.

81
00:04:58.765 --> 00:05:03.335
Very good, thank you. The next item,

82
00:05:03.345 --> 00:05:05.335
Madam Chair, is adopt your goals

83
00:05:05.355 --> 00:05:07.735
and objectives for fiscal year 25 26.

84
00:05:07.955 --> 00:05:10.535
So, as you know, the legislature created a, um,

85
00:05:10.535 --> 00:05:15.095
section within Florida statute 1-890-694-LAST year

86
00:05:15.275 --> 00:05:17.895
for all special districts to create goals

87
00:05:17.915 --> 00:05:20.855
and objectives to be, uh, put on your website

88
00:05:20.855 --> 00:05:24.135
and then annually, uh, in your annual report report back

89
00:05:24.155 --> 00:05:26.935
to the, um, members of your public

90
00:05:27.035 --> 00:05:28.495
and the legislature, whether you met

91
00:05:28.495 --> 00:05:29.535
those goals and objectives.

92
00:05:29.535 --> 00:05:31.655
And those will be, um, on your website

93
00:05:31.755 --> 00:05:33.815
by December 1st on your annual report.

94
00:05:34.595 --> 00:05:36.255
Um, we did, uh, reach out

95
00:05:36.395 --> 00:05:39.655
and kind of do a cursory survey of other, uh, CDs

96
00:05:39.655 --> 00:05:42.455
and special districts throughout the state to see what type

97
00:05:42.455 --> 00:05:44.415
of, um, goals and objectives they were using.

98
00:05:44.475 --> 00:05:46.655
And quite frankly, they were pretty similar to the ones

99
00:05:46.655 --> 00:05:49.215
that we, uh, proposed last year that you approved.

100
00:05:49.755 --> 00:05:52.095
We don't really see any major differences out there.

101
00:05:52.215 --> 00:05:54.175
I think everyone's taking the simplistic approach

102
00:05:54.235 --> 00:05:55.775
to meet the, the letter of the law

103
00:05:56.315 --> 00:05:58.485
and to make sure that we are adhering to, um,

104
00:05:58.625 --> 00:05:59.805
all these goals and objectives.

105
00:05:59.805 --> 00:06:02.645
So for year two, we actually would recommend the same

106
00:06:02.675 --> 00:06:03.685
ones that we did last year.

107
00:06:03.755 --> 00:06:06.805
They were, uh, met the, uh, the intent of the legislation.

108
00:06:06.865 --> 00:06:08.605
So the first goal, um,

109
00:06:08.665 --> 00:06:10.005
we would recommend is financial

110
00:06:10.005 --> 00:06:11.085
management and budget oversight.

111
00:06:11.085 --> 00:06:12.285
Second one, long-term planning

112
00:06:12.285 --> 00:06:14.605
and resource allocation number three, vendor

113
00:06:14.705 --> 00:06:15.925
and contract management.

114
00:06:16.225 --> 00:06:17.765
Number four, governance. Four.

115
00:06:17.765 --> 00:06:18.765
Governance and accountability.

116
00:06:18.765 --> 00:06:21.245
Number five, community engagement and communication.

117
00:06:21.345 --> 00:06:24.165
So we would seek your approval of utilizing these goals

118
00:06:24.165 --> 00:06:26.965
and objectives as outlined in your, uh,

119
00:06:26.985 --> 00:06:28.965
agenda packet, uh, for year two.

120
00:06:32.745 --> 00:06:37.245
So moved. Second. All in favor? Aye. Aye.

121
00:06:38.895 --> 00:06:42.035
Thank you. Um,

122
00:06:42.135 --> 00:06:44.475
the next one is very informational only if you have any

123
00:06:44.635 --> 00:06:46.315
questions, we're certainly here to answer those.

124
00:06:52.255 --> 00:06:54.195
Uh, we can go on to my reports ma'am.

125
00:06:54.255 --> 00:06:55.995
So the first item is, uh, if we wanted

126
00:06:55.995 --> 00:06:59.275
to appoint a alternate to the emac um, committee,

127
00:06:59.835 --> 00:07:01.235
I know Dave serves as the primary,

128
00:07:01.455 --> 00:07:03.675
but occasionally, sometimes there may be a conflict

129
00:07:03.775 --> 00:07:05.195
or some reason why.

130
00:07:05.335 --> 00:07:06.555
Um, he may not be able to make it.

131
00:07:06.555 --> 00:07:09.115
If we had an alternate, we could certainly, uh, utilize

132
00:07:09.115 --> 00:07:11.955
that person in his stead in case he could not make it.

133
00:07:11.975 --> 00:07:14.795
So if there's someone who would like to volunteer

134
00:07:14.795 --> 00:07:16.675
to be an alternate on that committee, it meets right

135
00:07:16.675 --> 00:07:19.155
before this meeting at, at uh, nine o'clock.

136
00:07:19.825 --> 00:07:21.755
Well I shouldn't say that 'cause we have a new meeting

137
00:07:21.755 --> 00:07:23.955
scheduled for next year, but uh, it is right

138
00:07:23.955 --> 00:07:25.115
before this meeting essentially.

139
00:07:25.215 --> 00:07:26.955
Um, if you wanted to just have a volunteer

140
00:07:26.955 --> 00:07:29.035
for an alternate in case Dave can't make it,

141
00:07:32.425 --> 00:07:34.485
not anyone jump outta your seat all at once

142
00:07:35.975 --> 00:07:40.525
Scott, if no one else will do it, I'll do it.

143
00:07:40.545 --> 00:07:43.725
But I think you got it. Here's the timing day. Yeah,

144
00:07:45.725 --> 00:07:48.485
I just would want if you could just make that consensus so

145
00:07:48.485 --> 00:07:51.365
that uh, we could actually, uh, officially appoint Scott

146
00:07:51.505 --> 00:07:55.285
as the alternate today for the EMAC committee. This is how

147
00:07:55.285 --> 00:07:56.285
You get volunteers For stuff. That's

148
00:07:56.285 --> 00:07:58.525
right. Yeah, we could actually do Gino

149
00:07:58.725 --> 00:08:00.445
'cause he is committed to coming back next year.

150
00:08:00.505 --> 00:08:01.605
So, uh, you

151
00:08:01.605 --> 00:08:03.125
Can't do if it Pete is roommate.

152
00:08:03.185 --> 00:08:04.285
No, we're gonna change him. So

153
00:08:04.315 --> 00:08:05.485
yeah, I already talked to him about that.

154
00:08:06.145 --> 00:08:09.285
So if it is official then then Scott would be the alternate.

155
00:08:09.595 --> 00:08:10.645
Dave is always there.

156
00:08:11.155 --> 00:08:12.845
He's a trusted person for your committee,

157
00:08:12.945 --> 00:08:14.925
but uh, in case there might be a conflict

158
00:08:14.925 --> 00:08:15.965
and you couldn't make it, so

159
00:08:16.515 --> 00:08:18.245
Alright, you have that Madam Clerk.

160
00:08:18.955 --> 00:08:21.685
Very good. Uh, the next thing is the meeting,

161
00:08:21.865 --> 00:08:22.925
uh, for next year.

162
00:08:23.275 --> 00:08:25.765
Next year scheduled. So remember we did move it to Tuesdays.

163
00:08:26.425 --> 00:08:28.685
It is at two o'clock on November 18th.

164
00:08:28.905 --> 00:08:31.005
We had scheduled it to start at Olympia.

165
00:08:31.665 --> 00:08:35.445
Um, I'm getting some talk in my ear

166
00:08:35.445 --> 00:08:37.885
that Olympia may not be ready for November.

167
00:08:38.065 --> 00:08:40.525
So if that is the case, we would come back here,

168
00:08:40.685 --> 00:08:43.125
I think in one of the other rooms for that one meeting.

169
00:08:43.145 --> 00:08:44.765
And then hopefully January would be ready

170
00:08:44.765 --> 00:08:46.005
to go for, for a meeting.

171
00:08:46.505 --> 00:08:48.525
But Tuesday, November 18th at 2:00 PM

172
00:08:48.685 --> 00:08:49.805
I did reach out to Gino.

173
00:08:49.805 --> 00:08:51.565
He will be able to make Tuesdays, he told me.

174
00:08:52.025 --> 00:08:54.045
Uh, so we will have a full board compliment.

175
00:08:54.785 --> 00:08:56.045
If it's not an Olympia,

176
00:08:56.225 --> 00:08:58.685
the clerk will certainly let you know the location.

177
00:08:58.745 --> 00:09:02.125
But the plan B is to come back here for that one month prior

178
00:09:02.125 --> 00:09:04.365
to going to Olympia before the opening.

179
00:09:04.585 --> 00:09:06.965
So Tuesday, November 18th at 2:00 PM

180
00:09:08.605 --> 00:09:11.965
a couple save the dates night with DPM is September 17th.

181
00:09:11.965 --> 00:09:13.805
That's the, that EL wreck.

182
00:09:13.805 --> 00:09:16.125
That's when they come out and let the residents come out

183
00:09:16.125 --> 00:09:17.725
and engage with 'em, learn about different things

184
00:09:17.725 --> 00:09:19.045
that they're doing, uh,

185
00:09:19.105 --> 00:09:21.205
to help maintain this beautiful community.

186
00:09:22.515 --> 00:09:24.035
National Night Out, October 7th.

187
00:09:24.105 --> 00:09:25.675
That is with, uh, community watch

188
00:09:25.675 --> 00:09:29.275
where they invite all your first responders, um, to come out

189
00:09:29.335 --> 00:09:31.435
and just engage with the, uh,

190
00:09:31.635 --> 00:09:32.915
residents and build relationships.

191
00:09:33.015 --> 00:09:35.675
Let 'em know what they're doing, how they can help 'em, uh,

192
00:09:35.745 --> 00:09:37.915
with anything involved with first responders,

193
00:09:37.915 --> 00:09:39.395
but law enforcement or fire.

194
00:09:40.415 --> 00:09:41.795
And then lastly, government days.

195
00:09:41.865 --> 00:09:45.875
When the first at Eisenhower rec, uh, from 10 to one,

196
00:09:45.875 --> 00:09:48.555
that's the day when all the public officials,

197
00:09:49.295 --> 00:09:52.875
all your governments, uh, offices that are come in one spot

198
00:09:52.875 --> 00:09:54.515
for residents to come and engage with 'em

199
00:09:54.515 --> 00:09:55.555
and to build those relationships

200
00:09:55.615 --> 00:09:57.555
and ask any questions of their elected officials

201
00:09:57.735 --> 00:10:00.755
or, you know, maybe, um, something to do with their car tag

202
00:10:00.815 --> 00:10:02.395
or you know, a county budget or whatever.

203
00:10:02.395 --> 00:10:03.835
But they can come and ask all those questions.

204
00:10:04.515 --> 00:10:06.075
November 1st, I think this is like year 26.

205
00:10:06.415 --> 00:10:08.835
So it's heavily attended by all the residents.

206
00:10:08.895 --> 00:10:10.675
So those are all my reports.

207
00:10:10.775 --> 00:10:12.595
And just remember Tuesday, November 18th,

208
00:10:12.775 --> 00:10:15.155
2:00 PM the clerk will certainly let you know the

209
00:10:15.315 --> 00:10:16.395
location if it's not Olympia.

210
00:10:16.455 --> 00:10:17.515
So thank you

211
00:10:19.805 --> 00:10:20.805

212
00:10:21.675 --> 00:10:23.455
