MY NAME IS MIRIAM PARSONS TWO ZERO ZERO EIGHT EVEREST PARKWAY AND A TWENTY YEAR RESIDENT OF OF CAPE CORAL. I'M HERE TODAY TO TALK ABOUT THE FERTILIZER ORDINANCE THAT WE ALL YOU ALL APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY BACK IN OCTOBER OF TWENTY TWENTY ONE. IT HAD SOME REALLY GOOD CHANGES IN IT AND I'M HERE TO KIND OF ASK THE CITY COUNCIL PERHAPS THE WATER ADVISORY BOARD AND OUR CITY MANAGER ABOUT OUR PLANS. I HAD NOT HEARD ANYTHING. I HADN'T SEEN ANY BANNERS ON THE BRIDGES. I HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY COMMUNICATIONS UNTIL THIS MORNING. WE GOT THE ON THE MOVE NEWSPAPER AND THERE WAS A QUARTER PAGE TOPIC ON PAGE ELEVEN WHICH MAKES INDICATE PERHAPS OUR PRIORITY OF THIS WERE TWO WEEKS AWAY FROM OUR OFFICIAL RAINY SEASON AND FERTILIZER ORDINANCE CHANGES THAT YOU ALL APPROVED AND I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PLAN IS. I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING AND I'M GUESSING BECAUSE OF COVID AND STAFF CHANGES WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE REALLY ANYTHING FOR THIS YEAR. I'M JUST GUESSING I HOPE I'M WRONG BUT CERTAINLY FOR ANNETTE'S NEXT BUDGET CYCLE I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO ASK THE COUNCIL WE SPENT OVER EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS LAST YEAR THE YEAR BEFORE AND VACUUM'S AND IS THAT MEAN MY TIME IS UP? OH AND VACUUMS AND CURTAINS OF BUBBLE CURTAINS AND THINGS AND I'M ASKING FOR THE COUNCIL TO LOOK AT GET ESTIMATES AND PUT SOME BUDGET MONEY IN FOR A CAMPAIGN FOR FOR THE CITY A CITY WIDE CAMPAIGN THAT GETS PEOPLE EXCITED ABOUT WATER QUALITY AND PROTECTING OUR CANALS. WE'VE GOT SO MANY NEW PEOPLE COMING IN WHO ARE GOING TO FERTILIZE JUST THE WAY THEY DID UP NORTH. WE NEED TO GET PEOPLE INCENTIVES TO GET THEM INTO A CLASSROOM AND THERE'S MANY OTHER COUNTIES IN FLORIDA THAT HAVE DONE REALLY GREAT CAMPAIGNS. I'VE DONE A WHOLE BUNCH OF RESEARCH CITY OF TAMPA DID A B FLORIDIAN CAMPAIGN WITH A REALLY CUTE PINK FLAMINGO ALACHUA COUNTY TO JOIN THE FIFTY FIVE PERCENT CAMPAIGN VERY SUCCESSFUL WHERE PEOPLE WERE ENCOURAGED TO NOT FERTILIZE PROTECT OUR FUNDS, SKIP THE FERTILIZER A SUMMER PLENTY OF REALLY CREATIVE IDEAS AND CAMPAIGNS THAT WE CAN GET OUR OUR CITIZENS EXCITED ABOUT. I KNOW THERE IS A WATER ADVISORY BOARD MEETING. I BELIEVE NEXT WEEK I WILL BE THERE AND I'M HOPING TO HEAR SOME PLANS ABOUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO MOVING FORWARD BECAUSE YOU ALL WERE AFRAID THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE A FEEL GOOD ORDINANCE IF WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING AND WE'RE KIND OF IN THAT SPOT. SO I'M I GUESS I'M LOOKING FOR SOME HELP. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR GUNTUR IN CAPE CORAL COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS KEVIN KOLLBERG AND I LIVE ON THE HERMOSA CANAL IN THE NORTHWEST CAPE THIS MONDAY WE HAD OUR ONLY BOAT LAUNCH ON OUR CANAL AND WE GRAVELED AND HAD POSTS WITH CHAIN LOCKS INSTALLED MAKING THE LAUNCH UNUSABLE FOR OUR RESIDENTS. WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 30 BOAT CENTER CANAL ALONG WITH AT LEAST FOUR NEW HOMEOWNERS THAT ARE PLANNING ON PUTTING BOATS IN AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THEIR HOMES AS I'M SURE YOU'RE ALL AWARE, MANY OF US HAVE BOUGHT HOMES SPECIFICALLY ON THE CANAL TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE VOTING OPPORTUNITIES WE NEED AN ACCESSIBLE RAMP FOR BOAT MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS AND REMOVAL FOR TROPICAL STORMS AND HURRICANES. WE WERE NEVER INFORMED OF THE LAUNCH CLOSURE AT ALL. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE FOR ANSWERS AS WE KNOW THAT NEXT MONTH BEGINS HURRICANE SEASON. SO MY QUESTION TO YOU IS DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THE LAUNCH BEING CLOSED AND MORE IMPORTANTLY WHEN WILL IT BE AVAILABLE US AGAIN? THANK YOU, SIR. WE'LL GET STAFF TO GET WITH YOU AND MAYBE BE ABLE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS ONCE WE HAVE ALL THE CITIZENS AND COMPLETED I KNOW BARBARA ROBERTSON AND NINE TWENTY TWO SOUTHWEST STARERS I DON'T KNOW IF I'M IN DISTRICT FIVE OR SIX I THINK I WAS SIX YES THANK YOU. WE ON THE FLOATING DOCK AND WE HAVE NO PLACE TO PUT IN A BOAT . MY HUSBAND AND I WANT TO PUT IN A LITTLE BOAT. THERE'S TWO OTHER LAKES THAT ARE ATTACHED TO CERTAIN LAKE. THERE'S NO PLACE TO PUT IN A BOAT SO COULD YOU HELP US? OK, THAT'S THANK YOU. THANK YOU MA'AM. I BELIEVE ALL OF US ARE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME THING RIGHT NOW AT LEAST AS WE ARE. I HAD FOUGHT THEY HAD TAKEN A BOAT RAMP OUT TWO YEARS AGO WHICH WAS NEAR BERNSTORFF AND WE HAD NO ACCESS. THEN I CALLED MY COUNCILMEN AND THEY HAD A RAMP PUT IN FOR US AND THAT'S THE RAMP THIS GENTLEMAN SPEAKING OF WHICH NOW THEY HAD JUST PUT NEW GRAVEL DOWN AND CHAINED OFF. WE HAVE NO WAY TO GET OUR BOATS OUT FOR SERVICE. WE HAVE NO WAY TO GET THEM OUT IN CASE OF STORMS AND WE BOUGHT ON THE WATER WE PAY WATERFRONT TAX. WE ALL HAVE BOAT TAX AND WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE BOATS IN THE WATER. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY. SO THAT'S JUST WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF WE CAN GET EVEN IF THEY OPEN THE LAUNCH UP TO US AND HAD A FIVE DOLLAR FEE OR WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, REASONABLE FEE, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY BE THAT OPPOSED TO THAT. IT WOULD HELP THE CITY MAKE MONEY AND MAINTAIN BUT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET IN AND OUT OF THE WATER. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. PLEASE STAND BY. GOOD EVENING. BARRON COUNCIL. MY NAME'S ERIC FLACK FOR JOINING ME TODAY IS GARY SARNIE. HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE CHARTER SCHOOL FOUNDATION AND I AM A RESIDENT OF CAPE CORAL AND I'M HERE IN THAT CAPACITY TODAY MY TIME AS AN AUTHORITY AS A THE BELLS ARE CHIMING I'M HERE TODAY TO SPEAK ABOUT THE SURPLUS LANDS BETWEEN IDA BAKER HIGH SCHOOL AND OASIS HIGH SCHOOL THAT I KNOW YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE CITY AS YOU KNOW, ARE IN DIRE NEED OF A LOT OF FACILITIES FOR A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY FOR OUR YOUTH WE NEED MORE FOOTBALL FIELDS, BASEBALL FIELDS, TENNIS COURTS, YOU NAME WE NEED THEM AND YOU HAVE TAKEN A VERY PROACTIVE STANCE IN GETTING THOSE SOME PARTS DEVELOPED AND THE GOBAN GOING FORWARD IS A GREAT FIRST STEP IN THAT AND WE THANK YOU FOR THAT. THE CITY ALSO HAS A DIRE NEED TO HOST A PLACE TO HOST EVENTS AS YOU KNOW. FORTY SEVEN TERRORISTS CAN BE GOOD FOR CERTAIN THINGS BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE OF A LARGER PLACE WHERE YOU CAN HAVE A LARGER EVENT IN SOUTHERN CAPE CORAL IN THE AREA BETWEEN IDA BAKER AND OASIS WE BELIEVE IS THAT PLACE IN LIFE. AND WHEN I WAS IN OFFICE I ALWAYS TRY TO DO TWO THINGS TRY TO GET THE MOST VALUE OUT OF THE LEAST AMOUNT OF MONEY AND WE BELIEVE THAT DEVELOPING SPORTS FIELDS IN THIS AREA WILL DO JUST THAT. WHEN I WAS IN OFFICE WE HAD THE PLEASURE OF BUILDING THREE SCHOOLS THAT WE OPENED DURING THAT TIME AND THE HIGH SCHOOL STARTED AS WELL BACK IN 2008 IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL BUILDING AND WE DID TWO THINGS AT THAT TIME WE BUILT A NEW PARK CALLED JIM JEFFERS TO HONOR OUR FALLEN COUNCILMAN UP IN NORTH CAPE. THAT PARK SERVES THE COMMUNITY VERY WELL WITH SOFTBALL FIELDS ,THE SOCCER FIELDS, A MAJOR SOCCER PRESENCE THERE. IT ALSO HAPPENS TO BE NEXT DOOR TO THE FORMER CHRISTA MCAULIFFE NOW OASIS NORTH SCHOOL SAME THING WAS DONE DOWN AT OASIS MIDDLE SCHOOL. GYMNASIUM WAS A PLACE BEHIND THERE PRIMARILY FOR THE CITY TO USE FOR ITS AFTER SCHOOL EVENTS FOR ALL SORTS OF BASKETBALL LEAGUES. I WAS A COACH THERE FOR MANY YEARS FOR MY KIDS IT HAPPENS TO BE PART OF THE OASIS COMPLEX WHERE YOU CAN SERVE THE STUDENTS THERE. WE BELIEVE THAT A PROJECT BEHIND BETWEEN THESE TWO SCHOOLS TODAY CAN SERVE THAT SAME PURPOSE. YES, IT'LL BE A CITY PARK. IT'LL BE CITY RUN AND IT WILL HAVE A MAJOR CITY BENEFIT. IT WILL ALSO HAPPEN TO BE NEXT DOOR TO THE OASIS SCHOOLS. I'M SURE YOU'RE AWARE OF THE REALLY GREAT STUDENTS THAT WE LOSE EVERY YEAR BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE SPORTS FACILITIES. THEY HAVE NOWHERE TO CALL A HOME FIELD IN NEARLY EVERY SPORT THAT WE WE ARE IN THE SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN SUCH A HUGE SUCCESS AND BY ALLOCATING WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR THIS I BELIEVE JUST LIKE JEFFERS PARK AND JUST THE MIDDLE SCHOOL GYM YOU WILL NEVER FIND BETTER VALUE PER DOLLAR IN STUDENTS AND THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY THAT YOU TOUCH BY PUTTING THESE FACILITIES THERE. SIR, GUARDSMEN TALK A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ABOUT FROM HIS END BUT I DID WANT TO MENTION ONE THING THAT JOE COVIELLO BROUGHT THIS FORWARD ABOUT THREE AND A HALF YEARS AGO AND BROUGHT IT TO THIS COUNCIL. MANY OF YOU WERE UP THERE TODAY AND THEY WERE VERY SUPPORTIVE OF IT. BUT THE FORMER CITY MANAGER JUST DIDN'T DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO BRING IT FORWARD. WE ARE HOPING THAT THIS TIME YOU'LL TAKE THAT PLAN. IT'S ALREADY IN PLACE. THE SITE PLANS ALREADY READY TO GO AND TO BE ABLE TO PUT IT ON TO THIS YEAR'S BUDGET. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. HELLO, GARY SARNIE ALSO A RESIDENT OF CAPE CORAL, PRESIDENT OF THE CHARTER SCHOOL FOUNDATION. I'M NOT HERE SO MUCH FOR THE CHARTER SCHOOL ASPECT OF IT. I'M HERE AS A TAXPAYER, A PARENT OF TWO CHILDREN THAT HAPPENED TO ATTEND OASIS. >> LIKE ERIC SAID, IT'S THIS IS AN THERE'S AN ANCILLARY BENEFIT TO HAVING THIS NEXT TO THE SCHOOLS. IT IS NOT A SCHOOL THING. I KNOW THAT THERE'S A HUGE MISCONCEPTION THAT THESE CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE SOMEHOW SOME PRIVILEGED PRIVATE SCHOOL . BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS WERE EIGHT SCHOOLS BY THE WAY, YESTERDAY I GOT A I DON'T KNOW IF YOU EVER HEARD OF THIS BUT ONE HUNDRED PERCENT GRADUATION PRETTY BIG PRETTY BIG DEAL. HUNDRED PERCENT GRADUATION. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THAT EVER. GOOD JOB SCHOOL SORRY. THAT'S OUR ONLY CITY SCHOOL BY THE WAY. THIS IS NOT SOME PRIVATE ENTITY . IT IS NOT A IT GETS SO MUCH BACKLASH AND IS COMPLETELY UNFOUNDED. I URGE YOU TO PLEASE ALL READ THE CITY BUDGET CAPE CORAL CHARTER SCHOOLS BUDGET AND ACTUALLY EDUCATE YOURSELVES ON WHAT THE SCHOOLS ARE, WHAT THEY DO AND WHAT THEY DO FOR A COMMUNITY AND ALSO SCHOOLS JUST IN GENERAL NURTURE THE COMMUNITY. WE'RE BUILDING ALL THESE HOSPITALS, MEDICAL FACILITIES, ALL THIS. WHAT ARE THESE PEOPLE GOING TO DO? YOU THINK A DOCTOR WANTS TO GO IN HERE AND SEND THEIR KID TO A B RATED SCHOOL? NO, NOT REALLY. I WOULDN'T YOU KNOW, SO THEY'RE GOING TO GO TO NAPLES GOING TO DO BANITA JUST LIKE HAS HAPPENED IN THE YEARS PAST. RIGHT. SO LET'S KEEP ADDING TO THE CITY NOT JUST IN THIS WAY IN ARTS AND EVERYTHING WE NEED. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL CITY IS GROWING. WE HAVE REVENUE STREAMS COMING IN ALL THIS GOOD STUFF. PLUS LET ME THROW OUT A FEW OTHER STATS TOO. WE HAVE OHSU JUST FOR THE SCHOOL SIDE OF IT. THIS IS WE'VE DONE ALL THIS WITHOUT ANY REAL FACILITIES AND WE SPEND THOUSANDS SHIPPING OUR KIDS TO THEIR HOME FIELDS WHICH ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE THAT WE'RE BORROWING FROM OTHER PLACES LIKE THE FORCEFIELD. SO IT'S JUST FOOTBALL. WE HAVE WE HAVE WE HAVE FOOTBALL, VOLLEYBALL BOYS GIRLS GOLF CROSS-COUNTRY SWIM BOWLING SIDELINE CHEER TRACK AND FIELD SOFTBALL TENNIS, SOCCER. WE HAVE ALL KINDS OF AWARDS PEOPLE MAKING TO STATE WE'RE DOING ALL THIS ON A DIRT FIELD LITERALLY A DIRT FIELD SO YES, THERE'S A HUGE BENEFIT TO THIS SCHOOL SYSTEM MIDDLE SCHOOL, ELEMENTARY, HIGH SCHOOL THEY CAN USE IT WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL OUT OF MIDDLE SCHOOL THAT HAD THIS THESE FACILITIES IN HIGH SCHOOL, THEIR OWN FACILITIES WERE LIKE THE ONLY ONE THAT DOESN'T WORK IN A RATED SCHOOL . WE HAVE OVER A THOUSAND KIDS ON THE WAITING LIST, THOUSAND KIDS IN A SCHOOL SYSTEM WITH THIRTY TWO HUNDRED CHILDREN WE HAVE AND WE DO ALSO BY THE WAY, WE HAVE A BACKING OF WE'LL CALL IT ABOUT 3500 PARENTS ONE HUNDRED PERCENT BEHIND US ON THIS. SO THERE'S A STRONG PUSH TO DO THIS AND IT'S JUST GOING TO MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER. IT'S GOING TO MAKE YOUR PROPERTY VALUE IS GOING TO GO UP AND PLEASE JUST DON'T FIGHT THE CHARTER SCHOOL THING. IT IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK AND THAT'S REALLY ALL THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I HAVE. SO YOU OUT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. HI THERE. FOR THE RECORD I AM CHUCK WARREN OF CAPE CORAL. GOOD AFTERNOON.

SO WE ARE ALL VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT IT. SO THANK YOU NEXT I WANTED TO SEE I WANTED TO SEE IF MR. CITY MANAGER I'M ASSUMING YOU'RE GOING TO GET STAFF TO ADDRESS THE THE FOLKS THAT CAME FORWARD TO TALK ABOUT THE CLOSURE. YES. SO THIS IS I'M NOT AWARE OF THE SITUATION THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY BUT HOPEFULLY MR. JORDAN IS IN THE ROOM LOOKING FOR HIM AND MR. YOU CAN GIVE A REPORT HERE AT THE PODIUM OR WE HAPPY TO MEET WITH THE SPEAKERS OUT IN THE HALLWAY TO GIVE THEM A QUICK OK WE COULD WHATEVER YOU GUYS WANT TO DO, I GIVE A QUICK UPDATE HERE. YEAH. FOR THE PUBLIC I MEAN IT'LL BE GOOD FOR THE PUBLIC TO HEAR. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. BARRON COUNCIL MICHEEL CHISUM PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR THIS IF THE BOAT RAMP IN QUESTION I DIDN'T GET AN ADDRESS OR LOCATION BUT THERE WAS A BOAT RAMP IN THE NORTHWEST JUST NORTH OF TROPICANA OFF AT CHIQUITA THAT WAS A FRESHWATER RAMP THAT WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC WHEN THE NORTH TO UP WENT THROUGH THAT SITE WAS CONVERTED TO A LIFT STATION. WE IN PUBLIC WORKS HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THE MAP FOR ALL OF OUR FRESHWATER BASINS SEVERAL THIS YEAR WE'VE BROUGHT TO YOU ALREADY FOR PURCHASES THAT WILL BECOME FRESHWATER BOAT RAMPS AT THIS TIME THOSE BOAT RAMPS ARE ONLY SLATED TO BE GOVERNMENT USE ONLY BOAT RAMPS WHICH IS WHILE THE SIGN IS GOING UP AND THE CHAIN GOES ACROSS THE BOAT RAMP THAT'S INTENDED FOR OUR STORMWATER STAFF TO DO, YOU KNOW, HARVESTING TREATMENTS IF THERE'S ANY TYPE OF ALGAE THAT OUTBREAK WE WE ALLOW HYACINTHE CONTROL TO GO IN THERE TO DO VEGETATIVE MAINTENANCE WHEN YOU GO TO A FULL ACCESS FULL SCALE PUBLIC BOAT RAMP ACCESS BOAT RAMP, THE COSTS INVOLVED WITH TURNING THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY INTO SOMETHING THE PUBLIC CAN USE VERSUS SOMETHING THAT STAFF USES FOR MAINTENANCE TRIPLES AT A MINIMUM WE HAVE TO THEN PUT IN PUBLIC PARKING. WE HAVE TO PROVIDE RESTROOMS. YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE ORCHIDS. WE HAVE TO PROVIDE STORMWATER TREATMENT AND SO ALL OF THAT THEN BASICALLY MAKES THE COSTS GO UP. SO OUR INTENT AT THIS POINT IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET A BOAT RAMP IN EVERY BASIN SO THAT WE CAN SERVICE THAT BASIN FOR MAINTENANCE PURPOSES IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY, IF THERE'S SOME SOME NEED FOR SOME RESIDENT TO HAVE TO UTILIZE THAT, I'M SURE WE COULD WORK OUT A PROCESS WHERE THEY COULD CALL US AND WE CAN FIGURE SOMETHING OUT. OBVIOUSLY IF THERE'S A BOAT UPSIDE DOWN THE WATER THAT SOMEBODY NEEDS ACCESS I MEAN OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD USE THAT FOR THE EMERGENT PURPOSES YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO TO ALLOW THAT IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IF THERE'S YES. I MEAN THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON FOR THE FOR THE RAMPS HIMSELF IS FOR THE MAINTENANCE AND FOR THE FOR THE EMERGENCY USE OF ANY TYPE KNOW MAKING SURE WE HAVE ACCESS IN EVERY SYSTEM. BUT JUST FOR EVERY DAY LAUNCH AND RECOVERY FOR YOU KNOW, PLEASURE BOATING FOR FISHING THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL ,A WHOLE DIFFERENT TIER THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO DEVELOP A PLAN SET FOR YOU KNOW, WE WOULD PROBABLY COME UP WITH A PROTOTYPE, YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S JUST NOT WHAT WE'RE FUNDED TO PUT TOGETHER RIGHT NOW. RIGHT NOW WE'RE FOCUSED ON MAKING SURE WE HAVE PROPERTY IN EVERY BASIN, IN EVERY CANAL, NOT IN EVERY CANAL AND EVERY BASE AND HAS ACCESS. OK, GREAT, THANK YOU. AND THEN IN TERMS OF THE OASIS ATHLETIC FIELD. YES, MR. AND MR. TURNY, I THINK EVERYONE UP HERE BACK IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN IT WAS UP HERE WAS A HUGE FAN AND SUPPORTIVE OF THOSE ATHLETIC FIELDS HAVING SERVED ON THE CHARTER SCHOOL GOVERNING BOARD THE FIRST TWO YEARS I WAS IN OFFICE I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THE NEED, DEFINITELY THE NEED AND AS YOU MENTIONED, OUR FORMER MAYOR WAS PASSIONATE ABOUT IT AND AND I KNOW THAT OUR CURRENT MAYOR AND MYSELF WERE PASSIONATE ABOUT IT AS WELL. SO IF THERE'S A WAY THAT WE CAN PRIORITIZE THIS IN OUR BUDGETING, I WOULD DEFINITELY SUPPORT THAT. AND LASTLY, MR. WARREN, THANK YOU FOR FOR REMINDING US ABOUT THE MEMORIAL EVENT THAT YOU ALWAYS HOSTED. YOU DO A FANTASTIC JOB ANNUALLY AND I'LL TRY TO BE THERE IF MY LETS ME THANK THANK YOU, MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBER TATE THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO ECHO THE SAME SENTIMENTS BUT I DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS ON THE BOAT RAMP INFORMATION WE JUST GOT SO FAR I UNDERSTAND IT THESE PEOPLE WILL NO LONGER HAVE ANY ACCESS FOR THEIR FRESHWATER HOMES THAT THEY BOUGHT THAT THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO BE ABLE TO USE THE WATER. SO I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED ABOUT THAT. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A BOAT RAMP FOR GOVERNMENT ACCESS BUT ALL THE PEOPLE THAT BOUGHT HOMES WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS. SO I DON'T KNOW HOW WE FIX THAT BUT WE NEED TO FIX THAT. I MEAN THAT'S WHAT PLEASE KEEP YOUR CALLS DOWN. WE OK OK OK WE GET IT OK SO I GOT IT. WE'LL GET THIS WORKED OUT BUT WE'VE GOT TO START AT THE BEGINNING SO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME OK EXCUSE ME SO LET ME JUST GET IT OUT AND WE'LL GO FROM THERE OK SO I DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU DIDN'T HAVE ACCESS AND I'M SURE THAT WELL THE CITY MANAGER WASN'T AWARE OF THAT EITHER SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WORK THROUGH THIS. BUT I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU HAVE FRESH WATER HOME AND THAT YOU HAVE ACCESS WHEN YOU PURCHASED YOUR HOME YOU SHOULD HAVE ACCESS NOW. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT INVOLVES BUT I'M SURE WE HAVE A BUDGET PROCESS COMING UP AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ADDRESS IT. NOT EVERYBODY ON FRESH WATER HAS THE ABILITY TO GET THEIR BOATS OUT OF THE WATER. I WILL TELL YOU THAT MOST PEOPLE IN THE CITY DON'T HAVE THAT MY NO SOUTH AREA WE DON'T FRESHWATER NOW STAY WITHIN THE CANAL SYSTEM. SO IN MANY PLACES THERE WEIRS AND THEY CAN ONLY GO A FEW MILES. SO IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ADDRESS AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AT. I THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT TO OUR ATTENTION AND IF YOU WOULD PLEASE MR. CITY MANAGER PUT THAT SOME SORT OF AN AGENDA THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT AND ADDRESS AND FIGURE HOW WE'RE GOING TO HANDLE IT. BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO LOOK INTO THAT. OTHER THAN THAT, I THINK ALL YOU PEOPLE ARE COMING OUT TODAY AND I'M SURE WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS IT. THE FINAL SPEAKER DID NOT GIVEN NAME AND NOBODY GAVE AN ADDRESS. SO BEFORE YOU LEAVE YOU SEE MR. CHISHOLM AND GIVE HIM THAT INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. THANK YOU TO CHUCK. I GO TO THAT EVENT EVERY YEAR. IT IS WONDERFUL THE RIDGE PUTS THAT OUT THE CHARTER SCHOOLS I'M SERVING ON THAT BOARD NOW. I KNOW THE NEEDS. I KNOW THE COMMUNITY NEEDS AS WELL ON THE TOURIST DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL SPORTS AND SPORTS AUTHORITY ARE THE BIGGEST ECONOMIC DRIVER FOR HOTELS LIKE THE NEW HOTELS WE HAVE AT CAPE CORAL. THE BED NIGHTS ARE COMING IN BECAUSE FAMILIES ARE COMING HERE TO PLAY SPORTS. THE PROBLEM IS THEY'RE GOING TO FORT MYERS TO PLAY SPORTS AND WE NEED THEM TO COME TO CAPE CORAL TO PLAY SPORTS AND THIS TYPE OF A FACILITY WOULD ALLOW THAT I COAST IS IN THE DISTRICT FINALS IS VERY EXCITING. THERE'S SOME OF THE STATS THAT THE CHARTER SCHOOL HAS THAT ARE AMAZING THAT WITH NO FACILITIES WE ARE WINNING AWARDS AND PLACING FIRST AND PLACING SECOND IN MANY THINGS. SO I THINK THAT IF YOU ALL COULD COME UP WITH A FINANCIAL PLAN AND MAYBE DURING OUR BUDGETING WORKSHOP WE CAN LOOK AT THAT I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THAT FROM YOU ALL AND THANK YOU ERIC AND GARY FOR PUTTING YOURSELVES OUT AND WORKING SO HARD ON THAT. I APPRECIATE IT, KEVIN. THAT IS THE BEST CO-OCCURRENCE SORRY THE BEST PIECE OF INFORMATION ANY REAL CAN HAVE IN THEIR HANDS AND ANY CITIZEN THAT REALLY ALWAYS SAYS YOU KNOW WHERE MY TAX DOLLARS GOING . OH, I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. THIS DOCUMENT IS SO EASY TO READ I HOPE EVERYONE WILL GO TO THE WEBSITE. THERE'S A QR SCAN HERE THAT YOU CAN USE. IT IS EXTREMELY HELPFUL. SO I APPRECIATE THAT INFORMATION COMING TO THE PUBLIC BUT THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. THANK YOU ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS. SHEPARD, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE PEOPLE THAT CAME IN TO LET US KNOW ABOUT THE RAMP SITUATION AS YOUR COMMUNITY LEADERS WE NEED TO KNOW THESE THINGS TO HELP YOU. SO THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION THAT I'M SURE WE'RE ALL GOING TO PUT EFFORTS INTO RESOLVING THAT PROBLEM. THE OTHER THING I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IS THE CHARTER SCHOOLS CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE A TREMENDOUS ASSET TO OUR CITY AND WE'RE NOT JUST AN ASSET TO FAMILIES THAT HAVE CHILDREN THAT WANT HIGHER EDUCATION AND BETTER EDUCATION BUT THEY'RE ALSO AN ASSET TO THE CITIZENS THAT DON'T HAVE CHILDREN ATTENDING BECAUSE THE CHARTER SCHOOLS CREATE A MAGNET FOR OUR CITY FOR INVESTMENT AND RAISE THE FINANCIAL DEMOGRAPHIC OF OUR CITY WHICH LEADS DOWN AND HELPS ALL CITIZENS HERE SO THIS IS THIS IS DEFINITELY A NEED THE SCHOOLS ARE ALREADY SUPERIOR. THEY'RE ALREADY DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB AND THIS IS ANOTHER PIECE OF THE PUZZLE THAT MAKE THEM EVEN A GREATER INSTITUTION. SO I'M VERY INTERESTED IN HELPING MOVE THAT FORWARD. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN. WELL, THANK YOU, MAYOR. MR. CHISHOLM, I'VE GOT A QUESTION REGARDING THESE BELTRAN'S CURRENTLY THERE FOR STORM WATER USE ONLY COULD YOU INFORM ME OF ANY PUBLIC PROGRAMS THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR FRESHWATER CANALS OR CANAL SYSTEMS AVAILABLE HERE IN CAPE CORAL? I APOLOGIZE. I DON'T HAVE I APOLOGIZE. I DON'T HAVE MY SO THERE IS A MAP THAT WAS PUBLISHED MANY YEARS AGO THAT TALKS ABOUT OUR CANALS IN THE CITY CAPE CORAL WHERE THERE ARE SALTWATER ACCESS RAMPS ARE THE RED ONES. SO YOU ALL KNOW THOSE THOSE ARE ROSEN PARK EVEREST BERNSTORFF BOAT RAMP AND THE YACHT CLUB AND THEN THERE ARE SOME THERE WERE SOME BOAT RAMPS THAT WERE PROVIDED PROBABLY A DECADE OR SO AGO THAT WERE BASICALLY A SLOPED BANK IN THE CITY. AND SO THESE WERE THE PUBLIC ACCESS RAMPS THAT ARE OUT THERE. THERE'S ONE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET HERE AT ACADEMY AND CULTURAL YOU COULD GO IN THERE RIGHT INTO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AND YOU GET INTO THAT CANAL SYSTEM. IT'S JUST BASICALLY A LOT SO THE ONE THAT'S BEING REFERENCED I DON'T BELIEVE BASED ON THE MAP AND WHAT WHAT IS OUT THERE WAS EVER INTENDED TO BE OR WAS EVER PUBLISHED PUBLICIZED AS A PUBLIC ACCESS. I'VE SPOKEN TO MY STAFF WHILE WE WERE HERE. MY STAFF HAS NOT GONE TO ANY EXISTING RAMPS AND CLOSED ANY EXISTING RAMPS. SO SO WE I WILL GET WITH STAFF AND SEE WHAT BUT MY STAFF HAS BEEN FOCUSED ON PERMITTING THROUGH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES NEW PROPERTIES, CUTTING IN NEW BOAT RAMPS LIKE WE JUST DID RIGHT UP HERE ON CULTURAL PARK LANDSCAPING THEM PUTTING IN THE GOVERNMENT USE ONLY. SO THERE ARE SOME UNPAVED PUBLIC ACCESS RAMPS OUT THERE THAT ARE RUSTIC. OK, THANK YOU SO WHAT I'D LIKE TO SAY TO THE RESIDENTS I FEEL THAT YOU DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO USE YOUR BOATS AND GET YOUR BOATS IN AND OUT BUT THESE ARE NOT PUBLIC RAMPS. THEY'RE NOT SAFE. THEY'RE NOT BEING USED. SO I WOULD APPRECIATE IF THE CITY COULD WORK WITH ALLOWING YOU TO REMOVE YOUR BOATS IF NEEDED BUT ALSO BE PATIENT WITH US AS A CITY BECAUSE THESE ARE THINGS THAT AREN'T ON OUR RADAR AND THEY'RE NOT ON ANYTHING THAT WE HAVE IN THE NEAR FUTURE . SO THERE'S PLENTY OF PROJECTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED AND WORKED ON AND I AGREE WITH MR. ALTRUISM THAT THESE COULD BE THREE TO FOUR TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN WHAT IS CURRENTLY THERE. SO BE PATIENT WITH US. WE DO WANT TO WORK WITH YOU WITH IT. BUT IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAUL YOUR BOAT OUT AND USE IT AT THESE EXISTING RAMPS AND HAVE THE TRAILER THE CAPACITY TO USE THE WATERFRONT PROPERTY THAT IS ALREADY PUBLICLY AVAILABLE, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU DO SO BECAUSE WE CAN'T PUT ANY SORT OF TIMEFRAME ON THIS. I'M NOT EXCUSE ME IF YOU'D LIKE TO REACH OUT TO THE OFFICE LATER I'D BE HAPPY TO TALK WITH YOU AND I'M SURE I'LL GET OK WITH THEM JUST TO UNDERSTAND WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AND UNDERSTAND THE NUANCES. I JUST WANT TO EXPLAIN THAT IT COULD BE A PROCESS THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN FLIP A SWITCH ON. SO PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH US. I BELIEVE WE ALL WANT YOU TO USE THE PROPERTY YOU PAID FOR BUT JUST UNDERSTAND UNDERSTANDING MIGHT NOT BE THE NEXT DAY. SO THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO SAY AND THANK YOU FOR COMING HERE TODAY AND LETTING US KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM THAT EXISTS. COUNCIL MEMBER COSDEN. THANK YOU MAYOR. JUST ONE THING REGARDING THE PROPOSED ATHLETIC FACILITIES UM OFF OASIS I THINK YOU HAVE A CONSENSUS FROM COUNCIL BASED ON PAST COMMENTS TO AT LEAST COME UP WITH THE COST ESTIMATE. MR. CITY MANAGER, DO YOU THINK YOU COULD DO THAT? COUNCIL MEMBER WE HAVE A BUDGET WORKSHOP ON JUNE 9TH AND 10TH. I'LL PROVIDE YOU WITH AS MUCH INFORMATION AS WE CAN COMPILE BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. OK, I'D ALSO LIKE TO LOOK AT REVENUE ESTIMATES SO JUST PLEASE HAVE THAT ON YOUR RADAR . THAT'LL BE PART OF THE WORK. OK, THANK YOU. I DON'T REMEMBER LONG. THANK YOU MAYOR. YEAH WITH REGARDS TO THE BOAT RAMP I WANT TO THANK THE INDIVIDUALS BROUGHT IT TO OUR ATTENTION OBVIOUSLY AS MEMBERS OF COUNCIL WE'RE NOT ACUTELY AWARE OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL ISSUE THAT HAPPENS IN THE CITY SO IT TAKES SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO BRING IT TO OUR ATTENTION. I WOULDN'T AGREE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER WALSH'S ASSESSMENT NECESSARILY THAT IT'S THERE'S IT'S A BACK BURNER ISSUE I THINK EVEN TO THIS DAY AND JUST IN THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING WE TALKED ABOUT OUR VISION STATEMENT AND I MEAN STILL TO THIS DAY I THINK OUR VISION STATEMENT SAYS SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF BEING A PREEMINENT WATERFRONT COMMUNITY AND SO PART OF THAT IS FRESHWATER'S, THE MAJORITY OF IT OUR FRESHWATER SYSTEMS. AND SO THAT'S AN ISSUE THAT IS PERMEATED THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CITY WITH REGARDS TO ACCESS IN AND OUT OF THESE INDIVIDUAL BASINS. BUT IN THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE IT'S CONCERNING A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS. IT'S NOT I DON'T THINK AN ISSUE OF WHETHER WE EXPLICITLY ADVERTISED THAT THAT WAS FOR PUBLIC USE OR NOT. THE ISSUE IS THAT IT WAS BEING UTILIZED AS THAT I'M SURE MEMBERS OF OUR STAFF WERE AWARE OF THAT AND IT WAS EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. SO TO COUNCIL MEMBER STATES' POINT, THERE WERE I'M SURE INDIVIDUALS THAT BOUGHT INTO THAT SYSTEM WITH THE INTENT AND UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY WERE GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT . SO HOW WE WERE ABLE TO UNILATERALLY AND I'M SURE IT WAS RIGHTFULLY DONE BUT THE QUESTION IS THE PROCESS TAKE THAT AWAY FOR I BELIEVE IT WAS A PUMP IS ONE OF MY QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS. BUT THE OTHER ONE IS ADDRESSING THE ISSUE THAT MR. DELORES HAD BROUGHT FORTH WITH REGARDS TO INSTEAD OF JUST DISCUSSING IT MAYBE GET THE WHEELS TURNING ON ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. WE'RE LOOKING AT HOW WE MIGHT ADDRESS IT NOT JUST IN THIS PARTICULAR SYSTEM BUT IN OTHER SYSTEMS THAT MIGHT BE SIMILARLY AFFECTED THROUGHOUT THE CITY. SO IF I COULD I WOULD ASK SOME MEMBERS OF COUNCIL FOR A SECOND SO THAT I CAN MAYBE WORK WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT TO TRY TO LOOK INTO TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO AS FAR AS OVERARCHING POLICY WITH REGARDS TO ADDRESSING THIS PARTICULAR SECOND, I THINK YOU LOOK SECOND THAT SO MR. MAYOR, MAY I JUST COMMENT FOR ONE SECOND? YES, SIR. AT THE MOMENT I MUST RESPECTFULLY JUST RESPOND THIS WAY THAT I'M NOT SURE WE NEED A POLICY AT THIS POINT. I THINK WE JUST NEED TO SEE WHAT WE HAVE COMPILED IN THE PAST BECAUSE I THINK THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME WE'VE LOOKED AT THE WHOLE ISSUE OF PROVIDING PUBLIC ACCESS TO THE FRESH WATER CANALS. SO I WANT TO GO AND TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE'VE GOT ON FILE, WHAT WE'VE DONE HISTORICALLY AND ADDRESS THE ISSUE AS PART OF THE JUNE 9TH AND JUNE 10TH WORKSHOP BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE THAT WE HAVE COST ESTIMATES ALREADY. SO I'M NOT SURE COUNCIL MEMBER LONG IF IT'S TIME FOR A POLICY DISCUSSION BECAUSE THAT POLICY MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THE CORRECT PHRASE BUT THE IDEA IS TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. SO TO MAKE SURE THAT WE IDENTIFY PARCELS THAT WE'D LIKE TO PURCHASE OR HAVE PURCHASED AND MAYBE TALK ABOUT WHERE THOSE FUNDS MIGHT COME FROM THAT WE CAN APPROPRIATELY IDENTIFY FOR THESE PARTICULAR PROJECTS AS WELL. SO I SAID SO AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, I THINK THE APPROPRIATE TIME TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION IS AS SOON AS JUNE 9TH AND JUNE 10TH AND BUT I THINK YOU NEED TO HAVE THE CONVERSATION WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THE OVERALL BUDGET. WE JUST CAN'T LOOK AT THIS ONE ISSUE OR THE ATHLETIC FIELDS IN ISOLATION. YOU NEED TO HAVE THE CONVERSATION UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE WHOLE PICTURE IS MOVING FORWARD FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT WE JUST DELAY THAT TILL JUNE 9TH ON JUNE 10. THAT'S OK. THAT'S FINE FOR NOW. THANK YOU. OK AND ALSO I WANT TO THANK THE RESIDENTS FOR COMING OUT LIKE COUNCIL MEMBER LONG SAID, WE'RE NOT UPDATED ON A DAILY BASIS OF ALL THE ISSUES THROUGHOUT THE CITY THAT THAT STAFF ARE ADDRESSING. SO I DON'T THINK ANY OF US UP HERE PROBABLY KNEW ABOUT THAT. SO I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THAT TO OUR ATTENTION. I WOULD RECOMMEND TWO THINGS ONE TO MAKE SURE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE COUNCIL MEMBER LONG AS YOU'RE A COUNCIL MEMBER TO WORK CLOSELY WITH HIM. AND SECONDLY IN THESE AREAS THAT ARE AFFECTED TO POSSIBLY IDENTIFY ONE POINT PERSON THAT COULD WORK WITH A COUNCIL MEMBER WHO WILL IN RETURN WORK WITH STAFF AND THE REST OF COUNCIL SO WE CAN GET YOUR YOUR ISSUE RESOLVED. SO THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION MOVING FORWARD. AND AS YOU HEARD, WE'LL HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSIONS ON THIS SPECIFIC TOPIC AGAIN ON JUNE 9TH AND JUNE 10TH WHICH IS NOT THAT FAR AWAY. SO I THINK IT GIVES YOU AMPLE TIME TO GET THE COUNCIL MEMBER IN YOUR DISTRICT UP TO SPEED. WHAT YOUR CONCERNS ARE SO HE CAN BRING THAT BACK TO COUNCIL AS WELL SO THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION FOR YOU AS FAR AS THE MEMORIAL DAY CEREMONY THAT MR. WAWN SPOKE ABOUT, I CAN PROMISE IT WILL BE THE ONE OF THE BEST SERVICE CEREMONIES THAT YOU WILL SEE IN THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL. SO I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. THE SERVICE ISN'T THAT LONG AND IT'S EXTREMELY IMPACTFUL. SO MR. SEAN, I THINK I HEARD YOU SAID THIS IS THE FORTY FIRST YEAR IN A ROW FOR THIS CEREMONY. SO IF YOU HAVE THE TIME I PROMISE YOU IT'S WORTH THE TIME AND WORTH THE TRIP AS FAR AS THE DISCUSSION ON THE ATHLETIC FACILITY THAT MR. SAIFULLAH AND GARY HAD SPOKE ABOUT, I THINK DEFINITELY IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION ON AS RECOMMENDED BY THE CITY MANAGER TO HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS ON JUNE THE 9TH OR JUNE 10TH. I THINK ADDITIONALLY MAYBE A OPPORTUNITY FOR EITHER ONE OF THOSE MEMBERS OR REPRESENTATIVE TO COME FORWARD DURING THAT TIME TO PROVIDE A PRESENTATION TO GIVE US SOME ADDITIONAL AND THAT INFORMATION ALSO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU COULD SEND TO US BY EMAIL PRIOR PRIOR TO THOSE DATES AS WELL AND THAT WILL GIVE COUNCIL COLLECTIVELY THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSIONS ON THAT PARTICULAR TOPIC. AND I THINK EVERYTHING ELSE WE'VE ADDRESSED ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM CITIZENS INPUT CAN'T REMEMBER. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THEN THAT STAFF WILL BE ABLE TO WORK WITH THE RESIDENTS TONIGHT BEFORE THEY LEAVE TO MAKE SURE THOSE WHO HAVE BOATS TRAPPED IN THEIR CANALS THAT GET AT LEAST GET THEM OUT WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO SO THEY'RE NOT SITTING THERE. SO WE'RE HAVING MR. LATISM IS HAPPY TO MEET WITH THE BEFORE I GET HERE TO FIND OUT WHAT'S WHAT'S THEIR NAME ADDRESS BEFORE THEY LEAVE SO THEY'LL HAVE IT. THANK YOU. OK, ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON CITIZENS INPUT? OK, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NINE IS BUSINESS NINE IS THE CONSENT AGENDA I WILL OPEN THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR COUNCIL TO PULL ANY PARTICULAR ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION OR IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA? SECOND FURTHER DISCUSSION SEE A NON MADAM CITY CLERK PLEASE CALL THE ROLL TAPE I WELL I COSDEN I GUNTA I HATED LONG TIME NELSON I SHEPHERD I HATE MOTION CARRIED ITEM NINE B AS APPOINTMENTS TO BOARDS AND COMMITTEES NINE B ONE IS THE CONSTRUCTION REGULATION BOARD. APPARENTLY THERE ARE SIX VACANCIES MADAM CITY. YES YOUR HONOR IN YOUR POCKETS TODAY WE HAVE RECEIVED FOUR APPLICATIONS FOR VARIOUS POSITIONS THAT ARE CURRENTLY VACANT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION REGULATION BOARD I PLACED SUGGESTED RECOMMENDATION ON THE AGENDA COVER SHEET. WE HAVE SEVERAL OF THE APPLICANTS HERE TODAY IF COUNCIL DESIRED INTERVIEWING THEM TO ARE HERE FOR HAVE BEEN ON THE BOARD BEFORE OR SEEKING REAPPOINTMENT AND TO OUR NEW TO THE TO THE TO THE BOARD CONSIDERATION. OK, SO WE HAVE THE APPARENTLY WE HAVE SIX VACANCIES AND WE HAVE FOUR APPLICANTS THAT THAT MEET THE CRITERIA WITHIN THE WITHIN THE BOARD. YES SIR. SO DO WE HAVE A MOTION OR DO WE WANT TO BRING UP THE THE APPLICANT TO GIVE THEM A ONE MINUTE OPPORTUNITY. MR. MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THOSE APPLICANTS THAT ARE ON THE APPLICATIONS ALSO I CAN'T SEE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. COUNCIL MEMBER NELSON, DO YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSIONS? NO, SIR. COUNCIL MEMBER COSDEN YES. JUST JUST UM MADAM CITY CLERK AFTER WE POINT THESE THERE ARE STILL TWO VACANCIES, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT. CAN YOU GO OVER WHAT WE DO TO TRY TO FILL THESE VACANCIES WHERE WE SHARE THE INFORMATION? I KNOW WE DO SOCIAL MEDIA CERTAINLY SO WE START WITH THE NEWSPAPER AND IN A BREEZE I POST IT A MINIMUM OF ONE TIME AND THEN USUALLY TWO WEEKS LATER AND AT THE TIME AT THE FIRST OF EACH MONTH THE LINK THAT IS ON OUR WEBSITE THAT IDENTIFIES THE VACANCIES IS PUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND THERE IS ALSO A LISTING OF RISK OF APPLICANTS THAT HAVE APPLIED THE PAST FOR OTHER BOARDS THAT PERHAPS WERE OVER THAT WEREN'T APPOINTED AND WE MAKE A REACH OUT TO THEM AS WELL TO SEE IF THEY'RE INTERESTED. THE CONSTRUCTION REGULATION BOARD IN PARTICULAR HAS VERY SPECIFIC CATEGORIES THAT WHENEVER POSSIBLE WE ATTEMPT TO FILL. SO HISTORICALLY IT IS DIFFICULT TO FILL ALL THE POSITIONS RIGHT. HAVE WE TRIED TO WORK WITH CIA OR ANY OTHER INDUSTRY ORGANIZATIONS? THANK YOU FOR THAT REMINDER WE REACH OUT TO BILL JOHNSON AT THE CIA WITH AN EMAIL. WHEN WE HAVE THE VACANCIES WE SHIP IT DIRECTLY TO HIM TO SHARE IN HIS NEWSLETTER AND AT HIS MEETINGS. THAT'S PERFECT. THANK YOU. THANK OK, WE'LL MOVE ON TO AND WE HAVE THE VOTE WE HAVE TO ALL RIGHT. SO THERE'S A MOTION TO APPOINT ALL FOUR APPLICANTS AS ARE LISTED IN THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND THE SECOND DEGREE. OK, TATE. WELL ARE COSDEN I GUNTUR HAYDEN LONG LIVE NELSON I SHEPHERD I HATE MOTION OK WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NINE IS UNFINISHED BUSINESS C ONE IS UP ITEMS THIS COUNCIL WILL HAVE ANY FOLLOW UP ITEMS THAT THEY WISH TO DISCUSS . ALL RIGHT CNN WE DON'T HAVE ANY NEW BUSINESS LISTED AND SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NINE PERSONNEL ACTIONS E ONE IS THE COUNCIL OFFICE PERSONNEL ITEM. I PUT THAT ON THE AGENDA FOR TO REASON ONE JUST TO TALK ABOUT THE APPLICANTS AND WHERE WE ARE WITH OUR OPEN POSITION IN OUR OFFICE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS WE HAD A TOTAL OF NINETY THREE APPLICANTS AND THOSE APPLICANTS WERE REVIEWED TO SEE IF THEY MET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS AND ALSO THERE WAS A SKILL TEST THAT WAS GIVEN. SO WE EVENTUALLY GOT DOWN TO TWENTY APPLICANTS AND I BELIEVE THAT THE COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT WERE ASSEMBLED TO REVIEW THOSE TWENTY HAD RANKED AS A PARTICULAR APPLICANT AND NOW WE'VE GOTTEN THAT LIST DOWN TO TEN FROM THE TWENTY. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING AND IF MR. NAGU IS HERE SHE COULD MAYBE LET US KNOW BUT MY UNDERSTANDING THE NEXT PROCESS IS H.R. DEPARTMENT WILL BE CONTACTING THOSE PARTICULAR INDIVIDUALS AND WILL BE GOING DOWN A SERIES OF QUESTIONS AND ONCE THEY DO THAT THEY WILL BE A ON MY UNDERSTANDING A TAPE TAPE RECORDED CONVERSATION THAT THE SAME COUNCIL MEMBERS CAN REVIEW AND THEN WE WILL RANK THOSE TEN APPLICANTS DOWN TO FIVE. IS THAT CORRECT, MR. SNYDER? AT LEAST THAT'S NAGO HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR. YES. THAT GENERAL PROCESS IS CORRECT AND I THINK THE GREAT THING ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS I BELIEVE CAME UP WITH A THOUGHT INSTEAD OF THE FOUR COUNCIL MEMBERS EACH TALKING TO THE CANDIDATE. THE SHORT LIST AT THIS POINT IN TIME OF HAVING ONE OF ONE HOUR INDIVIDUALS DOING THAT AND THEN YOU ALL VIEW THAT VIDEO. SO IT'S JUST I THINK WE'RE DOING THAT ON TEAMS AND WE ARE VIDEOING THAT SO THAT COULD GO THROUGHOUT. SO WE'RE DOING THAT AND YEAH, THAT'S WHERE WE ARE IN YOUR PROCESS. SO THEN FROM THERE IT GOES ON TO YOU PICK FROM THERE AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE A SHORTER LIST AND THAT'S WHEN IT GOES TO THE EIGHT AND YOU DO THE ROUND ROBIN CONCEPT IN YOUR IN YOUR OFFICES. OK, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE PROCESS UP TO THIS POINT AND GET TO MY LOVE. YEAH, THE REASON WHY I CAME UP WITH THAT CONCEPT WAS GETTING FOUR OF US TOGETHER IN AN OFFICE OR EVEN THROUGH TEAMS HAVING 40 DIFFERENT INTERVIEWS. I FELT IT WAS EASIER TO HAVE H.R. DO THE SAME QUESTIONS FOR ALL OF US TO REVIEW AND THEN WE COULD REVIEW IT SEPARATELY RANKED DOWN THE FIVE AND THEN ONLY HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A ROUND ROBIN OF FIVE WAS THE OTHER THREE OR FOUR COUNCIL MEMBERS AND EVEN COUNTY FELT THAT THAT WORKED. SO THAT'S FINE. YEAH. AND THEN YOU'RE JUST VIEWING THE PART OF ME YOU'RE JUST VIEWING THE ANSWERS THAT AREN'T IN OTHER QUESTIONS OR SOME FURTHER PIECES WITH THAT. CORRECT. AND IF WE FELT WE WANTED TO REACH OUT TO ONE OF THE TEN PERSONALLY THAT DO FOLLOW UPS WE COULD DO THEM OR STICK WITH THE GENERAL RESPONSES THAT WE GOT. YEAH, YEAH. IN THE FOUR IN THE FIRST ROUND BEFORE COUNCIL MEMBERS WERE ALL POSITIVE ABOUT THAT. SO THAT'S WHAT WENT FORWARD IN THE FIRST ROUND. YEAH. THANK YOU. OK AND THE OTHER ITEM I WANTED TO DISCUSS THAT AS YOU ARE AWARE IN OUR LAST REGULAR MEETING WE APPROVED A NEW POSITION HERE IN THE CITY WITHIN OUR COUNCIL OFFICE AS FAR AS THE LEGISLATIVE EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT ASSISTANT OFFICE MANAGER. SO I THINK AT THIS POINT WE NEED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION. IS THAT PARTICULAR POSITION DO WE WANT TO FILL A PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL FROM WITHIN OUR OFFICE IN THAT ROLE? AND IF SO WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A I'M IMAGINING A MOTION TO DO THAT SO WE COULD FILL THAT PARTICULAR SPOT OR AT LEAST HAVE A DISCUSSION AND CONSENSUS AND THEN AT SOME POINT MAYBE NOT TODAY THEN I THINK WE HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT ANY TYPE OF SALARY ADJUSTMENTS SO THAT'S THE NEXT ITEM AS FAR AS DO WE WANT TO FILL OR FILL THAT PARTICULAR POSITION WITH SOMEONE IN OUR OFFICE? COUNCIL MEMBER WELSCH MY LIGHT WAS ON FROM THE LAST ONE. OK, THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER. YEAH I THINK WE HAVE A PERSON IN THE OFFICE NOW THAT'S EXCEEDINGLY QUALIFIED TO TAKE THAT POSITION AND ASSUME THE MANAGERIAL DUTIES THAT WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH IT. I THINK SHE HAS STRONG INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE IN OUR WORK. I THINK THERE'S A COUPLE OF US THAT ARE IN OFFICE A LOT EVERY WEEK THAT HAVE SEEN OR HAVE SEEN HER WORK ESPECIALLY AT TIMES WHEN SHE MAY HAVE BEEN THE ONLY ONE IN THERE. SHE'S HANDLED VARIOUS SITUATIONS WHEN IT CAME TO EVEN GOING BACK TO SETTING UP THE INTERVIEWS FOR THE DISTRICT ONE SEAT AND HOW SHE MANAGES THINGS AND HOW SHE DOES IT IN AN INCREDIBLY PROFESSIONAL WAY AND I THINK YOU KNOW, I THINK WITH THESE ADDED, UH, RESPONSIBLE PARTIES THAT A FAIR SALARY WOULD BE IN HER CASE BECAUSE OF HER EXPERIENCE WOULD BE SIXTY THOUSAND AND UM I KNOW I ASKED FOR THIS INFORMATION EARLIER IN THE DAY AND I APOLOGIZE. I DIDN'T BRING IT UP FROM MY DESK. UM, MITSUNAGA, CAN YOU DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE SALARY RANGE AND YOU KNOW, I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO DO FIRST IS SEE IF THAT'S THE INDIVIDUAL THAT WE WANT TO FILL IN THAT POSITION IF IT IS DO WE WANT TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION TONIGHT ON SALARY MAYBE OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT I CAN MAKE SURE THAT EACH ONE OF YOU HAVE THE RANGE OF 50 TO 80? SO I THINK THERE'S SOME OF THE QUESTIONS WE NEED TO ASK DO WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE THAT SALARY RANGE TODAY? DO WE WANT TO GET THE INFORMATION? MY UNDERSTANDING THAT PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL HAS A BASE SALARY AND ALSO WE DID A THREE THOUSAND DOLLAR STIPEND. I THINK SUMMER TO ESCAPE THE LAST YEAR. CORRECT BECAUSE OF BASICALLY DOING TWO JOBS FOR THE PURPOSE GETTING THE CONVERSATION GOING. BUT I THINK IN TERMS OF WHAT HER RESPONSIBILITIES ARE GOING TO BE, HOW SHE WILL BE IN CHARGE AT LEVELS THAT SHE WASN'T IN BEFORE THAT BECAUSE OF THOSE ADDED DUTIES THAT I THOUGHT THAT WAS FAIR COMPENSATION AT THIS POINT FOR FOR THAT PARTICULAR JOB. OK, WE'LL CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION COUNCIL MEMBER NOW I THANK YOU, MAYOR. IS THERE A REASON WE'RE NOT EITHER WE'RE NOT USING A NAME OR WE I MEAN CAN WE YEAH. OK. I WAS GOING TO SAY I THINK HONEY GRONLUND IS MOST DEFINITELY AS A COUNCIL MEMBER HAYDEN SAID EARNED THIS SHE'S INCREDIBLY VERSATILE. SHE MANAGES ALL OF US WHICH ISN'T EASY. I KNOW I SPEAK FOR MYSELF BUT SHE MANAGES ALL OF US. SHE'S VERY ATTENTIVE TO OUR SCHEDULES. SHE'S DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB IN TERMS OF SALARY. MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO BRING HER AS CLOSE TO IF NOT TO SEVENTY FOUR PERCENT. I DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE IS NOW IN THIS RANGE BUT BUT I'D LIKE TO GET HER UP TO AS CLOSE TO SEVENTY FIFTH PERCENTILE AND I DON'T I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE SIXTY THOUSAND THAT COUNCIL MEMBER HAD MENTIONED BECAUSE I DIDN'T SEE HER HER CURRENT RATE OF PAY SO THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION BUT SHE'S DEFINITELY EARNED IT. SHE'S PROVEN HERSELF TIME AND TIME AND AGAIN. YOU KNOW MAYOR YOU AND I SAW THAT WHEN WHEN SHE ASSISTED US PRIOR TO BECOMING MAYOR AND BEING ABLE TO MANAGE ALL OF US AND SHE'S A GREAT FIT. SHE HAS SHE'S ABLE TO COMMUNICATE UPDOWN AROUND AND SIDEWAYS SO I WOULD SAY ONE HUNDRED PERCENT I SUPPORT THIS . THANK YOU, MAYOR CITY ATTORNEY . I'M SORRY I HAVEN'T BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS BUT UM MITSUNAGA LAST WEEK THEY WERE AT THE LAST MEETING THEY CREATED THIS POSITION CORRECT. THERE WE ARE. AND SO WOULD IT BE FAIR TO SAY THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY RECLASSIFYING THE FORMER POSITION TO THIS POSITION BECAUSE IT'S NOW GOT ADDITIONAL DUTIES ADDED INTO IT? UH, LISA, SAN DIEGO H.R. DIRECTOR. YES, WHAT WE'RE DOING IS EVALUATION OF THE JOB CLASSIFICATION WAS CONDUCTED THE LEGISLATIVE EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO MAYOR AND SO THE BASED ON THE DUTIES ETCETERA IT HAS BEEN RECLASSIFIED UM TO LEGISLATIVE EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO MAYOR AFTER THAT. SO THE POSITION WAS CREATED OR THE THE TITLE UH WE DO KNOW THAT THOSE ARE THE FUNCTIONS THAT ARE BEING PERFORMED AT THIS POINT IN TIME AND THAT IS WHAT'S ALSO A FEW EXTRA THEY'RE GOING TO BE EXPECTED OF THAT INDIVIDUAL UH AND SO YES, TO YOUR POINT CITY ATTORNEY, THE POSITION IS CREATED NOW THIS PERSON THAT IS IN THAT POSITION UM YEAH. YOU'RE NODDING YES. WELL, YES. SO IT'S IT'S THE POSITION HAS BEEN IS BEING RECLASSIFIED FROM ONE AWAY TO A ONE OR NINE FROM THE LEGISLATIVE EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO THE MAYOR TO THE LEGISLATIVE EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT SLASH ASSISTANT OFFICE MANAGER. SO SINCE THERE'S AN INCUMBENT IN THAT POSITION THEN THE INCUMBENT WOULD BE FALLING UNDER THE RATE OF PAY UPON RECLASSIFICATION IN THE PERSONNEL ORDINANCE. CORRECT? CORRECT. SO THERE ARE PROVISIONS IN THE PERSONNEL ORDINANCE FOR THE AMOUNT AND THE JUSTIFICATION FOR INCREASING AN INCUMBENT WHOSE POSITION GETS RECLASSIFIED. I BELIEVE IT'S AT LEAST FIVE IT'S LIKE FIVE PERCENT FOR EVERY PAY GRADE, NOT MORE THAN 10 PERCENT. THIS WOULD BE FIVE PERCENT. THERE IS A PROVISION FOR EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES TO JUSTIFY A HIGHER AMOUNT THAN THAT IF THE COUNCIL WANTS TO PROCEED IN THAT DIRECTION. YEAH, I THINK TODAY PROBABLY WOULD BE TO MAKE A MOTION IF WE'RE GOING TO FILL THAT POSITION WITH THE SCHOOL AND THEN MAYBE IN OUR NEXT MEETING OR GET THE H.R. DEPARTMENT CITY ATTORNEY HAVE AMPLE TIME TO GIVE US SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. I'D MAKE THAT MOTION AND THEN AND THEN WE CAN AT OUR NEXT REGULAR MEETING WE CAN HAVE THAT DISCUSSION AT OK. ALL RIGHT. SO WE HAVE A MOTION IN SECOND ANY OTHER DISCUSSION AND CITY CLERK TO SUPPORT THE RULE? KATE, I WELSH I COSDEN I GUNTUR HEYDEN ARE LONG NELSON HIGH SHEFFORD I YOU GUYS MESENTERIC WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM IF I COULD MY ANSWER YES I KNOW YOU SAID THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING WITH ALL THAT INFORMATION BUT BEING THAT ARE GOING THROUGH THE INTERVIEW PROCESS AND WE'LL HAVE TO SET THE PAY RATE OF A NEW EMPLOYEE CAN WE POTENTIALLY JUST DO BOTH OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME SO WE'RE NOT DOING THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN? I THINK IT SHOULD A FAIRLY SHORT CONVERSATION I WOULD THINK. I MEAN THE NEXT MEETING IS IN TWO WEEKS. MY OTHER CONCERN IS, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A HIATUS HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF JUNE AND WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW LONG THE PROCESS IS GOING TO BE FOR THE NEW HIRE. I WOULD SAY GO AHEAD AND ADDRESS IT IN THE MEETING IN TWO WEEKS WHENEVER WE'RE READY FOR THE OTHER TOPIC OF DISCUSSION AND SOUNDS GOOD I FORGOT TO HIRE THIS. OK, MOVE ON TO ITEM NINE, FOLLOW UP ITEMS FOR CITY MANAGER. FOR THE RECORD WE DID NOT HAVE ANY POSITIONS IN THE COUNCIL SO NINETY ONE IS WATER QUALITY UPDATE MR. CITY MANAGER. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL FOR YOUR REGULAR UPDATE ON WATER QUALITY ISSUES AFFECTING THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL. SO I'M GOING TO ASK MR. MICHAEL CHISHOLM PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR AND HIS STAFF TO APPROACH THE PODIUM FOR THIS THIS WEEK'S UPDATE. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR AND COUNCIL MIKE IS NOT BACK SO MAYOR ROBERT, UH, PUBLIC WORKS UM WE WILL START UH MAYBE BY INVITING MR., UH, JEFF PEARSON TO GIVE YOU, UH, OLLILA DATA ON THE CANAL LEVELS AND OTHER GOOD AFTERNOON. JEFF PEARSON, UTILITIES DIRECTOR UH, THE CANAL LEVELS ARE RAPIDLY RECOVERING AND OUR FRESHWATER CANALS THE PUMPING FROM THE SOUTHWEST AGGREGATES RESERVOIR BEGAN APRIL 22ND. SINCE THAT TIME WE'VE PUMPED OVER THREE HUNDRED AND TWELVE MILLION GALLONS OF FRESH WATER INTO THE CITY'S FRESHWATER CANALS ARE ONCE PER WEEK WEEK WATERING BEGAN MAY 2ND SINCE APRIL 21ST WE'VE RECEIVED AN AVERAGE OF FIVE INCHES ACROSS LAKE COUNTY OUR ACROSS CAPE CORAL AT THREE DIFFERENT SITES THAT WE HAD THAT LEE COUNTY HAS THAT MEASURES RAINFALL. SO WE'RE IMPROVING. I DON'T THINK WE'RE THERE YET. BUT WITH THE RAINY SEASON COMING SOON I THINK WE'LL WE'LL GET THERE REAL SOON. WE'RE WE'RE FULLY RECOVERED. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MY OUR PUBLIC WORKS UM ON THE LAKE OKEECHOBEE WE ARE SEEING A FEW BLOOM POTENTIALS BUT THEY ARE LOCATED AWAY FROM THE DISCHARGE POINT TOWARDS THE CALOOSAHATCHEE RIVER. I GOT AN UPDATE ON THE LAKE SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL. IT HAS BEEN DELAYED THE PUBLICATION OF THE DRAFT DOCUMENTS BY ABOUT ONE MONTH SO IT WILL BE RELEASED IN MID-JULY. WE'LL HAVE ABOUT TWO WEEKS TO REVIEW THE DRAFT AND THEN AT THE END OF JULY IT WILL BE FINALIZED. UM, WILL WE DO A QUICK UPDATE ON THINGS WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NEW THIS WEEK. UM, AND THEN WE HAVE UH REPORTED UH RUBINOW BLOOM UH A WEEK AGO IT WAS PRETTY EARLY ON BY STUFF WE'VE BEEN DOING ARE MONITORING THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM A LITTLE BIT MORE INTENSIVELY. SO WE CAUGHT IT EARLY. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE VERY SEVERE RIGHT NOW BUT UH, WE ARE CONTRACTING WITH SOLITUDE LAKE MANAGEMENT TO APPLY UH, ENERGY SIDE TREATMENT THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM. UH, SO THIS BLUE GREEN ALGAE BLOOM IS IN OUR FRESH WATER CANAL, NOT OUR TIDAL SYSTEM. SO IT'S NOT RELATED TO LAKE OKEECHOBEE RELEASES AND AS YOU MAY REMEMBER, UH, BACK IN UH, TWENTY TWENTY WE HAD AN ALGAE BLOOM OF THE TYPE MEGACITIES AROUND THE GOLF COURSE AND AT THAT TIME THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM WAS OBVIOUS AND SO WE WOULD CALL THAT THE POINT SOURCE POLLUTION, THE POINT SOURCE ALGAE BLOOM THE TOXINS THAT WERE PRODUCED BY THIS ORGANISM. WE'RE THE ONES THAT ARE GENERALLY MONITORED BY THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND AT THE TIME THE STATE AGENCY IS WE ARE STILL PUTTING TOGETHER PLANS AND DASHBOARDS AND TESTING TOXINS AND SO THIS WAS PARTIALLY HANDLED BY THE STATE THE BRAIN SCAN THAT WAS AFFECTED AT THAT TIME. BUT WE MANAGED TO CONTROL IT VERY RAPIDLY. SO THIS TIME AROUND WE GOT SOMETHING THAT IS DIFFERENT. WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE SOURCE OF THE INPUT IS FROM. SO IT'S CALLED A NONPOINT SOURCE. SO WE HAVE TO INVESTIGATE WHAT THE SOURCE OF THAT POLLUTION AN EXTRA NUTRIENT IS AND FOR FOR KICKS THIS ORGANISM IS ACTUALLY NOT THE MAIN BLUE GREEN ALGAE SPECIES THAT WE SEE THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR BLOOMS LIKE OKEECHOBEE. IT'S CALLED THE EXPERIMENT AND IT'S ACTUALLY AN ORGANISM THAT RELEASES A WHOLE SUITE OF TOXINS. SO IN ADDITION TO THE MICROCYSTIN, IT ALSO RELEASES THREE OTHER TYPES OF TOXINS. SO AND SINCE TWENTY TWENTY THE STATE AGENCIES ACTUALLY HAVE TOLD US THAT BECAUSE THIS IS OUR FRESHWATER SYSTEM AND IT'S NOT WATERS OF THE STATE, THE STATE AGENCIES DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH WILL NOT ASSIST US IN EITHER TESTING, MONITORING OR INFORMING THE PUBLIC. THEREFORE WE ARE DEVELOPING OUR OWN PLAN. SO WE STARTED INFORMING THE PUBLIC. WE PUT OUT THE NOTICES. SO IF YOU SEE THE SIGNS FOR ALERT BECAUSE WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR TOXIN ANALYSIS BY YOUR PRIVATE LAB. UH, THOSE ALERTS HAVE THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL LOGO ON IT NOT A SEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA. UM, SO WE'RE TESTING WEEKLY EVEN IF WE DON'T HAVE THE TOXIN RESOURCE AS I SAY, WE'RE WE'RE CATCHING REALLY EARLY ON SO THE CONTRACTOR IS READY TO DEPLOY AND THIS IS KIND OF ON POINT WITH THE BOAT RAMP THAT WAS JUST DISCUSSED. SO THIS SYSTEM IS A VERY SMALL SYSTEM. WE HAD ACTUALLY TO PUT IT ON THE MAP WHEN WE ARE LOOKING AT DIFFERENT FRESHWATER SYSTEM TO MAINTAIN AND THE SYSTEM IS CUT UP IN THREE PARTS AND SO WE HAVE DIFFICULTIES OF ACCESS BECAUSE THERE'S NO BOAT RAMP IN THERE. SO WE WILL HAVE TO WORK WITH THE CONTRACTORS ON HOW THEY WILL BE ABLE TO DEPLOY THEIR MATERIAL AND EQUIPMENT IN THE WATER. SO WE WILL WE WILL USE ALL THAT WE HAVE WITH PUBLIC WORKS. UH STORMWATER MAINTENANCE USING CRANE AND THINGS LIKE THAT. UM, SO BECAUSE THESE FRESHWATER SYSTEM DISCHARGE QUICKLY TO THE SOUTH FLORIDA CANAL, WHAT WE ARE WORRIED ABOUT WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO DEPLOY IS AS YOU SAID THEY'RE GOING TO BREAK OUT THE CELLS. THEY'RE GOING TO RELEASE THE NUTRIENTS. WHAT WE'VE SEEN PREVIOUSLY IS THAT WHEN THOSE NUTRIENTS ARE IN EXCESS AND GET RELEASED IN THE SALTWATER SPREADER, WE GET A FLOATING AQUATIC VEGETATION THAT IS SALVINIA AND IT COVERS MATS OF THE CANALS IN THE SOUTH SPREAD. SO WE WANT TO TRY TO AVOID THIS TO HAVE AN AFTER EFFECT OF THESE BLOOMS. SO THIS WEEK WE'RE TRYING TO WORK WITH OUR STAFF TO DEPLOY BIOCHAR TO ABSORB AS MUCH NUTRIENTS AS WE CAN AT THE WE'RE AT THE POINT OF DISCHARGE BETWEEN THE TWO SYSTEM UM SO I JUST WANTED MAYBE I DON'T KNOW IF KIMBERLY IF YOU CAN SHARE MY SCREEN ON UM SO THE DRAINAGE BASIN IS PRETTY BIG AND IT COVERS BOTH SIDES OF KITCO. SO WE HAVE DIFFERENT MAPS. SO THIS IS OUR STORMWATER OUTLET BUT THE MAP IS MIGHT BE VERY VISIBLE FOR YOU. SO WE HAVE BOSSIDY PROPERTIES AND WE HAVE LEE COUNTY PROPERTIES IN THESE DRAINAGE BASIN UM AT THE NORTH OF THE SPORTS COMPLEX YOU HAVE SELLWOOD FARMS THAT DRAIN I'M GOING TO SWITCH TO GOOGLE MAPS JUST TO TRY TO EXPLAIN WHAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT. SO WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT ANY TYPE OF SOURCE OF NUTRIENTS. WE STARTED LOOKING AT THE FERTILIZER THAT WAS APPLIED ON THAT SPECIFIC COMPLEX AS YOU MAY HAVE HEARD, THERE'S BEEN KIND OF A SHORTAGE OF MATERIAL FOR FERTILIZER AND SO WHEN THEY RECEIVE THE FERTILIZER IT WAS ALREADY LATE IN THE SEASON SO THEY HAD TO APPLY ALL OF THE FERTILIZER ONCE BACK IN APRIL. BUT WE CHECKED WHAT THEY DID AND WE KEEP A LIST OF THE CERTIFIED STUFF THAT APPLIES AS FERTILIZER AND THEY ACTUALLY REALLY FOLLOWED ALL THE BNP RULES ALSO. SO THEY WERE WELL WITHIN THE COMPLIANCE FOR THE SPORTS FIELD AND THAT SPORTS FIELD DISASTER, THE KIND OF SYSTEM AT THE NORTH HERE YOU HAVE THE SELLWOOD WOOD FARMS AREA AND SO THOSE FARMS NORMALLY IS A DRAINAGE BASIN GOES TO THE DITCH TO THE NORTH OF SANDOVAL AND THAT DISCHARGE TO PASS THROUGH EACH YEAR. BUT WHEN WE SAMPLED IS MY STUFF WE SAMPLE ALL ALONG THAT DID WE STUMBLED WAS VERY COMPLEX. WE ARE LOOKING AT ISOTOPES TO TRY TO TRACE WHERE THE NUTRIENTS IS COMING FROM. IF IT'S FROM AREA FOR INSTANCE OR THINGS LIKE THAT. WHEN WE SAMPLE AT THE CORNER OF THAT DITCH HERE THE ENTRANCE OF SANDOVAL BY THE NEW PROPERTY THAT YOU JUST PURCHASED TO EXPAND THE PARKING OF THE SPOT IT WAS SMELLING REALLY OF MANURE RIGHT HERE WHICH IN AN INDICATION OF THAT DRAINAGE BEING MAYBE DEFECTIVE. SO THIS IS SOMETHING, MIKE, MAYBE CAN TALK MORE ABOUT IS THAT OUR STORMWATER STUFF IS GOING TO LOOK AT MAYBE REDIRECTING THAT FLOW, TREATING THAT FLOW SO BUT IT'S A BIG DRAINAGE AREA SO IT'S A BIG TREATMENT AREA THAT WE NEED TO COMPENSATE FOR ALL OF FOR ALL OF THE NUTRIENTS GO IN THERE AND THEN OF COURSE THIS AREA. SO THIS IS A SYSTEM THAT IS BEING AFFECTED AS YOU SEE ON YOUR MAP AS THAT ATTACHMENT AS WELL. THIS IS A VERY FAST GROWING RESIDENTIAL AREA. MOST OF THE HOMES IN THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS YOU AND THEY HAVE LAID OUT BRAND NEW SOD AND LAWN AND TURF. THEN YOU HAVE NEW DEVELOPMENT THIS IS A BRAND NEW DEVELOPMENT . SO WE'RE LOOKING ALSO AT WORK ON CONTRIBUTION. THIS IS BRINGING WE'RE LOOKING AT HOW THEY'VE APPLIED FOR THEIR STORMWATER TREATMENT AND MANAGEMENT HERE AND THEN ON THE WEST SIDE HERE WE HAVE THE SANDOVAL COMMUNITY THAT I'M GOING TO SWITCH MAPS. I APOLOGIZE THAT DISCHARGES YOU SEE THOSE POINTS ALIGNING THAT ACTUALLY DELORES TO THAT CANAL ALSO UNDER SURFSIDE AND SO THAT IS ALSO SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT HOW MUCH DISCHARGE IS BEING MADE IF THE TREATMENT IN SANDOVAL IS APPROPRIATE, WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY REACH OUT TO THE COMMUNITY, SEE THE LANDSCAPE AND WHAT THEY USE AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THESE ARE THE MAIN ELEMENTS THAT WE ARE DOING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. WE CAUGHT IT VERY EARLY AND I'M HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR IF MIKE WANTS TO ADD SOMETHING. THANK YOU. ANY ANY QUESTIONS ON THE UPDATE CNN THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OK, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM TEN ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS TODAY PUBLIC HEARINGS WE HAVE ORDINANCE FORTY ONE DASH TWENTY TWO. MADAM SPEAKER PLEASE READ THE TITLE ORDINANCE FORTY ONE DASH TWENTY TWO AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE ANNEXATION OF PARCELS LAND LYING IN A PORTION OF SECTION TWENTY TOWNSHIP FORTY S RANGE TWENTY THREE EAST LEE COUNTY FLORIDA IS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HERE IN PROVIDING FOR REDEFINITION OF CITY BOUNDARIES PROVIDING FOR CITY OF CAPE CORAL FIRE DEPARTMENT AND UTILITY SERVICES PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS MATTER ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK WILL PROVIDE TESTIMONY INVOLVING ORDINANCE FORTY ONE DAYS TWENTY TWO MUST BE SWORN IN. PLEASE STAND AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. DO YOU SOLEMNLY SWEAR OR AFFIRM TO TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH? I DO THANK YOU JUDGE DAVENING EXCUSE ME MAYOR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR THE RECORD CHAD BOIKO, PRINCIPAL PLANNER WITH THE CITY PLANNING DIVISION THIS IS ORDINANCE FORTY ONE TO TWENTY TWO THIS THIS IS A PRIVATELY INITIATED VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION. THE APPLICANT FOR THIS FIRST ONE IS THIRTY ONE FIFTY SW PINE ROAD LLC THIS APPLICANT OWNS ONE OF THESE PARCELS AND THEN THERE ARE A COUPLE OF OTHER OWNERS THAT ARE INVOLVED WITH THIS BUT THIS LLC WAS THE APPLICANT FOR VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION THE SIZE OF THE SITE FOR THIS IS TWELVE POINT FORTY SEVEN ACRES. THE LOCATION IS SOUTH PINE ISLAND ROAD AND THEN EAST OF VETERANS PARKWAY RIGHT BEFORE VETERANS PARKWAY TURNS INTO BARRON STORE ROAD. THIS WOULD BE IN THE TRANSITION AREA OF THE URBAN SERVICES BOUNDARY UPON ANNEXATION OUR MAP OUR URBAN AREAS BOUNDARY MAP WOULD WOULD ACCOMMODATE THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY DUE TO THE NATURE THAT THERE ARE UTILITIES THAT ARE NEARBY THAT WOULD HAVE THE CAPACITY OR THE ABILITY TO SERVE THE SITE REGARDLESS OF AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE CAN DISCUSS LATER. AND THEN THE REQUEST BY THE APPLICANT IS THE VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION OF FOUR PARCELS INTO THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL BOUNDARIES SUMMARY FINDINGS OF FACT THE MAJORITY OF THE SITE IS UNDEVELOPED AND CONSISTS OF FOUR PARCELS. THERE IS SMALL SCALE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ON THE SMALLER PARCELS THAT ARE LOCATED EAST OF THE MAIN PARCEL THAT IS AT THAT DIRECT INTERSECTION OF CURRENT STOTRA HIGHLAND ROAD AND VETERANS PARKWAY. THIS IS ADJACENT TO THE CITY ON THREE SIDES NORTH, EAST AND WEST AND IT IS DIRECTLY ABUTTING SOME PROPERTY THAT IS WITHIN THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL DIRECTLY TO THE EAST. THE APPLICANT HAS DECIDED TO STAY TO A DESIRE WITHIN THEIR LETTER OF INTENT TO DEVELOP COMMERCIAL AND MIXED USE MIXED USES BY ASSEMBLING INTO LAND OWNED WITH NEIGHBORING PARCEL. AND THEN THE APPLICANT HAS ALSO FILED A FEATURE LAND USE MANAGEMENT AND A REZONING APPLICATION AS WELL FOR THIS SOME SERVICE PROVISIONS. THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL UTILITIES DEPARTMENT HAS STATED THAT SEWER SERVICE IS AVAILABLE TO THIS SITE. WE HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM LEE COUNTY STATING THAT LEE COUNTY WOULD BE OK WITH US ASSUMING SEWER SERVICE TO THIS SITE. THE SITE IS CURRENTLY SERVED BY THE GREATER MAINLAND WATER ASSOCIATION AND THEY ACTUALLY HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH LEE COUNTY WHERE THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE WATER TO THE SITE UP UNTIL TWENTY FIFTY UNLESS THERE IS SOME AGREEMENT THAT WAS REACHED WITH THE CAPE CORAL TO TO ALLOW THE CITY TO SERVE THE SITE WITH WATER. BUT WHAT CURRENTLY DOES HAVE THAT SERVICE PROVISION RIGHT CURRENTLY FOR THE NEXT TWENTY EIGHT YEARS OR SO THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS SAID THAT THE SITE WILL BE SERVED BY THE CITY'S POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS STATED THAT THE SITE CAN BE SERVED BY THE CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT THAT THEY WILL SERVE IT. THERE ARE SOME ALSO AGREEMENTS WITH THE PINE ISLAND FIRE ASSOCIATION VALDISERRI FIRE ASSOCIATION THAT WOULD ALSO HAVE TO BE AGREED UPON IF SERVICE WAS GOING TO BE TRANSFERRED OVER TO THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL FIRE DEPARTMENT BEFORE FOUR YEARS I BELIEVE WITH THE SPECIAL DISTRICT, THE FIRE DIVISION THEY HAVE FOUR YEARS TO SERVE THE SITE AND THEN THERE ARE SOME AGREEMENTS THAT HAD TO BE TAKEN PLACE WITH THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL AND THAT SPECIAL DISTRICT LATER IN THE FUTURE. WE LOOKED AT THIS PER LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTION THREE FIVE ONE WHICH GOVERNS ANNEXATIONS AND THIS WAS A SLIGHT REVISION TO YOUR POWER POINT JUST TO GIVE YOU GUYS A LITTLE BIT MORE BACKGROUND ANALYSIS ON THAT DECISION AND WHY WE WOULD SUPPORT THIS. WE LOOK AT FOUR CONSIDERATIONS WITHIN ANNEXATIONS ONE THAT THE ANNEXATION INFLUENCE THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN. THIS DOES BY REDUCING AN ENCLAVE THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS WITHIN THE CITY. THIS ANNEXATION ALSO HITS NUMBER TWO WITHIN THIS SECTION WHICH IT WOULD INCREASE THE INVENTORY OF NONRESIDENTIAL LANDS. NOW CURRENTLY A SITE IF IT'S ANNEXED WOULD NOT HAVE A FUTURE LAND USE AND ZONING DISTRICT THAT IS WITHIN THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL BUT UPON ANNEXATION IT IS INCUMBENT ON THE APPLICANT IF THEY WANT TO DEVELOP TO APPLY FOR A FUTURE LAND USE MAPPING AND A REASON AND THEY HAVE INDICATED THEY WILL BE SEEKING THE ROAD DISTRICT FUTURE LAND USE AND THE COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR IS THE ONLY DISTRICT WHICH ARE CONSIDERED NONRESIDENTIAL MIXED USE ZONING DISTRICTS. THE THIRD STANDARD THAT WE LOOK AT IS THE ANNEXATION RESULTS AND THE REMOVAL OF ENCLAVES AND STAFF FINDS THAT THIS WOULD REDUCE ENCLAVE THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS BY ELIMINATING SOME SORT OF PIECES UNINCORPORATED LAKE COUNTY LAND AND BRINGING THEM INTO THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL. AND THEN NUMBER FOUR IS THE ANNEXATION RESULTS AND THE LOGICAL EXTENSION OF CITY BOUNDARIES. WE KNOW THAT IT'S CURRENTLY ADJACENT TO CITY PROPERTY THREE SIDES. SO BY THAT TOKEN SAFF FINDS THAT THIS WOULD BE A LOGICAL EXTENSION OF THE CITY BOUNDARIES. OUR RECOMMENDATION IS BASED UPON THOSE CRITERIA WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF ANNEXATION AND I WILL NOTE THAT IF THERE ARE FURTHER QUESTIONS ON THE FIRE OR THE WATER PROVISION ISSUES THAT ARE AT PLAY HERE, WE ALSO HAVE MEMBERS FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND FROM UTILITIES THAT CAN ANSWER AND GO INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE DEPTH IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO END ON THOSE ISSUES. I'M HERE FOR ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. NOW EXCUSE OPEN UP PUBLIC HEARING IF THERE'S ANYONE TO SPEAK WHEN ORDINANCE FORTY ONE DASH TWENTY TWO I THINK HOW WE'LL DO IT IF THE APPLICANT HAS ANY COMMENTS TO MAKE THE APPLICANT WILL DO IT AT HERE AT THE CENTER PODIUM AFTER THE APPLICANT MAKES THEIR COMMENTS THEN WE WILL OPEN IT UP TO PUBLIC COMMENT WHICH WILL UTILIZE THE PODIUM TO MY LEFT IN FRONT OF THE DUMBLEDORE'S PRESS RUNNING. OH GOOD EVENING MAYOR. MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL MY NAME IS FRED DROBNICK AND I WILL GET THIS STARTED. I'M GOING TO TRY NOT TO BE REDUNDANT BUT CHADSTONE ONE OF MY SLIDES I'M JUST SAYING SO SO I'LL SKIP OVER QUICKLY BUT SO MY NAME IS FRED DROBNICK. I'M AN AGENT FOR THE APPLICANT . HERE IS THE AS CHAD SAID IS THIRTY ONE FIFTY SOUTHWEST PINE ISLAND LLC AND THEN WE LATER ADDED EVEN RICHARD WHO HAD THE THREE INDIVIDUAL PARCELS NEXT TO THE LARGE PARCEL ON VETERANS SO HIM REPRESENTING THOSE TWO I ALSO REPRESENT THE REST OF OUR DEVELOPMENT TEAM INCLUDING THE CONTRACT PURCHASER WHICH IS GILBANE DEVELOPMENT WHO WAS HERE IN THE AUDIENCE AS WELL. THE I PUT THIS ON HERE AND I'LL JUST GO OVER BRIEFLY BECAUSE IT SHOWS THE LARGER AERIAL AND THE TWO DIFFERENT CASES AND MAKE SURE THAT THE EVIDENCE IS CLEAR . THIS IS THE EAST SIDE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW AND COMING UP AFTER THIS, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE WEST SIDE OF VETERANS AND SOUTHWEST PINE ISLAND AND I EVEN DID THE SAME THING HERE. IT'S TWELVE POINT FIVE ACRES THAT ACTUALLY IS JUST THE CORNER OF VETERANS AND SOUTHWEST PINE ISLAND ROAD. THE OTHER THREE PARCELS JUST TO THE EAST OF THAT THE THREE INDIVIDUALS OR ONE ACRE EACH. SO THE TOTAL ANNEXATION IS FIFTEEN POINT FIVE ACRES ON EACH SIDE OF THAT CITY BOUNDARY THAT IS IN YELLOW ON THIS ON THIS AERIAL THE AS CHAD SAID, THE CURRENT ZONING IT'S IN LEE COUNTY. IT'S AGRICULTURAL ZONING. THE SO BOTH PARTS ARE ZONED AGRICULTURALLY THE LAND IS CATEGORY ON THE CORNER. A VETERANS OF SOUTHWEST PINE ISLAND IS IN THE COMMERCIAL LAND USE CATEGORY LEE COUNTY AND THEN THE OTHER PARCELS ARE A MIX OF RURAL AND SUBURBAN TO THE EAST AND AS WE SAID THESE BUT THE ZONING OF OF COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR AND ABUTS THE PINE ISLAND ROAD DISTRICT FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORIES AND THAT IS WHAT WE WOULD BE SEEKING IF ANNEXATION WAS RECOMMENDED FOR ADOPTION. SEE NOW THIS IS PLAGIARISM. DO YOU SEE THIS? THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT CHAD CHAD PUT UP HERE. BUT ANYWAY WE AGREE THAT THE FOR THE FOR LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE COMPLIANCE CRITERIA FOR AN ANNEXATION THAT WE AGREE WITH STAFF IN THEIR ANALYSIS THAT THIS DOES INDEED IMPLEMENT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. I DO HAVE ONE SLIDE ON THAT RIGHT AFTER THIS INCREASE THE CITY'S INVENTORY OF NONRESIDENTIAL LANDS AS I DON'T HAVE TO MENTION THAT EVERYBODY HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS GIVEN THE PRE SPLATTED SINGLE FAMILY HISTORY OF CAPE CORAL AND THERE'S PRECIOUS FEW LANDS FOR THAT. SO THESE ARE ONE OF THE PRIME CORONERS TO PROVIDE THAT NONRESIDENTIAL SERVICES AND DIVERSITY OF HOUSING, REMOVAL OF ENCLAVE'S NETLOGIC, EXTENSION OF THE CITY BOUNDARIES OBJECTIVE IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THAT WE BELIEVE WE COMPLY WITH THIS VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION IS CONSISTENT WITH THIS FOR SEVERAL REASONS. ONE LOGICAL EXTENSION OF THE CITY BOUNDARY BOTH SOUTH AND TO THE EAST NOT WEST INCREASES ANY SUPPLY OF COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL SPACE INCREASES HOUSING DIVERSITY OPPORTUNITIES FOR MIXED USE AND AND POTENTIAL MULTIFAMILY HOUSING COST EFFECTIVE DELIVERY OF PUBLIC SERVICES THAT CONNECT TO THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL UTILITIES EVEN IF THE WATER WITH THE CURRENT NOTWITHSTANDING THE CURRENT SERVICE BY A GREATER PALM ISLAND WATER ASSOCIATION. BUT ALL THE OTHER CAPE CORAL UTILITIES RECOGNIZES THE URBAN RESERVE BOUNDARY OF LEE COUNTY . THIS HAS BEEN IN THE URBAN RESERVE BOUNDARY FOR QUITE QUITE A WHILE AND THIS FULFILLS THAT THOSE POLICIES OF LEE COUNTY TO MOVE THOSE PARCELS THAT WERE MISSING TEETH AND THE SMILE SO TO SPEAK ALONG PINE ISLAND ROAD IN THOSE AREAS AND AND THEN AS WELL IT'S ADOPTED IN THE URBAN SERVICES TRANSITION AREA. THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL SAID THERE'S CONSISTENCY THERE WITH THAT SAID THAT THAT WAS MY CONCLUSION. I DO BELIEVE THAT SUPPORTS THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES OF THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THE ANNEXATIONS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN DIRECTLY SUPPORTS THE CITY'S INTENT FOR THE PINE ISLAND ROAD DISTRICT CONSISTENT WITH THE INTENT OF THE URBANISM OVERLAY AND URBAN SERVICES TRANSITION AREA AND WE REQUEST THE APPROVAL OF THE ANNEXATION AS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF IN THE ORDINANCE AS WRITTEN AND SO I'M HERE FOR QUESTIONS IF YOU NEED ME. THANK YOU. I NOW OPEN UP THE GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY. MY NAME IS COUNTY GALICIA AND I AM A RESIDENT AND A LANDOWNER IN PINE ISLAND. TONIGHT I'M SPEAKING TO US REPRESENTATIVE OF THE GREATER POINT I WOULD TO THE ASSOCIATION AND ON BEHALF OF OUR TEN THOUSAND OR SO FULL TIME RESIDENTS IN ADDITION TO SCORES OF PART-TIME RESIDENTS, I WANT TO EXPRESS OUR EXTREME CONCERNS FOR THESE PROPOSED ANNEXATIONS THE INTERSECTION UPON ONE ROAD AND VETERANS ROAD HAS CAUSED AT LEAST ONE HUMAN LIFE IN THE PAST YEAR AND IT'S WELL DOCUMENTED. ANY ONE OF YOU LOOK UPON IT THIS INTERSECTION HAS BECOME A JUGGERNAUT OF PROBLEMS FOR OUR EYE ON ANY ACCIDENTS THERE. PREVENTER'S FROM ENTERING OR EXITING OUR ISLAND WE HAVE TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC ONE IN, ONE OUT. OUR POPULATION IS GROWING IMMENSELY WHICH IS ALSO ADDING TO THAT THIS LOCATION IS EXACTLY AT THAT INTERSECTION. IT'S REALLY CRITICAL THAT YOU REALIZE THAT THIS INTERSECTION WHERE THIS ANNEXATION IS PROPOSED IS THE ONLY HURRICANE EVACUATION ROUTE FOR OUR ISLAND . IT'S THE ONLY ROUTE AVAILABLE FOR ALL TEN THOUSAND PLUS PINE ISLAND RESIDENTS AS YOU KNOW FROM LIVING IN THIS AREA IF WE HAVE A HURRICANE EVACUATION THERE'S NOT A LOT OF TIME FOR PLEASE AND THANK YOU'S AND TIMING AND SO IT CAN TAKE A QUICK TURN AND BE AN EMERGENCY REAL QUICK. UM, ACCORDING TO THIS ANNEXATION INFORMATION PROVIDED THE PROPERTY OWNERS PLAN FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND THEY MERELY STATE THAT ACCESS AND DAILY TRIPS WILL BE DETERMINED AT A LATER DATE. THAT'S A BIG IMPACT TO US FOR A LATER DATE CONVERSATION IN ADDITION TO THE LAND THAT IS CURRENTLY SITUATED, IT IS CURRENTLY SITUATED IN THE SERVICE AREA FOR LEE COUNTY UTILITIES. IT'S SERVED BY THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT LOCATED ON PALM ISLAND AND BY THE PINE ISLAND MATLOCK FIRE DISTRICT. IT IS OUR HOPE THAT THE PINEDALE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT COULD BE USED TO SUPPORT A SEPTIC TO SEWER CONVERSION FOR THE RESIDENTS OF I'M SORRY NOT TO SERVE DEVELOPMENTS THAT EXCEED OUR EXISTING GROWTH PLANS. FURTHERMORE, SHOULD THE PINE ISLAND FIRE DEPARTMENT CONTINUE TO SERVE THIS AREA SINCE IT'S LESS THAN ONE EIGHTH OF A MILE FROM THE SITE THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING TODAY ADDITIONAL ISSUES INCLUDING THE FACT THAT THE PINE ISLAND FIRE DEPARTMENT DOES NOT HAVE THE PROPER EQUIPMENT NEEDED TO FIGHT A FIRE SHOULD THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT COME TO FRUITION. THE DEPARTMENT'S TALLEST LADDER IS THIRTY FIVE FEET. THIS JUST CAME TO OUR ATTENTION IN A RECENT PUBLIC MEETING ON THE ISLAND REGARDING DEVELOPMENT BEHIND OUR NEW PUBLICS ON THE ISLAND THAT'S NOT TALL ENOUGH FOR SEVERAL STOREY HOTEL TO BE PROPOSED. ULTIMATELY PINE ISLAND TAXPAYERS WOULD BE DEALING WITH ISSUES FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT WHICH EXCEEDS ALLOWABLE DEVELOPMENT UNDER THE CURRENT PLAN. THE ADDITION OF THIS PLAN DEVELOPMENT RELATED TO THE PROPOSED ANNEXATIONS BEING ADDRESSED TODAY AT THIS INTERSECTION AND WITH THE ENTRANCE AND EXIT LIKELY EMPTYING ONTO POINT DOWN THE ROAD WILL ONLY FURTHER COMPLICATE THE EXISTING DANGEROUS ISSUES. VETERANS ROAD A LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAY SO ALL PREVIOUS REQUESTS FOR VETERANS ROAD ACCESS HAVE BEEN DENIED ON THIS PROPERTY SO THAT LEAVES NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO LEAVE ALL THIS TRAFFIC ONTO AN EXISTING ISSUE. WE PLEAD WITH YOU TO PLEASE LISTEN AND CONSIDER YOUR ISLAND AND NEIGHBORS TO THE WEST AND DECLINE THIS ANNEXATION OF THESE SITES. IN ADDITION WE WOULD PROPOSE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO CONSIDER ANNEXING THESE SITES THAT YOU PLEASE AT MINIMAL ISSUE CONDITIONS ON THIS ANNEXATION WITH WITH CONDITIONS WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO LIMIT OVERDEVELOPMENT AND FURTHER ISSUES IF YOU COULD ISSUE CONDITIONS SUCH AS LIMITING THE BUILDING OR CAPACITY, IF YOU COULD LIMIT CONDITIONS SUCH AS REDEVELOPING THE ENTRANCE AND EXIT POLL SORRY PLACEMENT WITH CONSIDERATIONS FOR EXISTING TRAFFIC ISSUES AND OVERCROWD ROADWAYS TO THE WEST OF THE PROPERTY. IF YOU COULD CONSIDER CONDITIONS THAT WOULD HELP TO ELIMINATE THE IMPACT TO OUR 10000 PLUS RESIDENTS IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY SUCH AS A HURRICANE WE WOULD GLADLY GIVE YOU A LIST OF THE CONDITIONS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED IF YOU DO DECIDE TO APPROVE THIS ANNEXATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU MA'AM. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME'S MIX MAIL CAUCUS. I WORK FOR THE GREATER PINE ISLAND WATER ASSOCIATION WHERE I'M THE SENIOR ENGINEER. WE'RE NOT HERE TO OPPOSE THE ANNEXATION OR WE'RE NOT FOR IT. IT'S NOT OUR POSITION TO WEIGH IN ON THESE THINGS BUT WE DO WANT TO SET THE RECORD CLEAR PLAN BOIKO SPOKE ABOUT EARLIER IN HIS AND HIS PRESENTATION PART OF THE APPLICATION FOR ANNEXATION THERE WAS THERE IS A MISTAKE MADE ABOUT OUR WATER FRANCHISE TERM AND SO GREATER PINE ISLAND WATER ASSOCIATION HAS A WATER FRANCHISE THAT WILL LAST TWENTY FIFTY AND THE AND THE ANNEXATION APPLICATION IT WAS SAY THAT WE ARE SPECIAL DISTRICT IN OUR TERM WAS GOING TO LAST FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS AND THAT'S NOT THE CASE. I PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED STAFF A COPY OF A WRITTEN STATEMENT WE'D LIKE TO SUBMIT TO THE HEARING RECORD. I CAN DO THAT RIGHT NOW OR I CAN READ IT IN CAN I PROVIDE A WRITTEN STATEMENT TO BE PUT INTO THE RECORD AND WHO WOULD I GIVE THAT TO? I REFER TO OUR CITY ATTORNEY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS DEBORAH SWISHER HICKS. I AM THE GREATER PIONEER AND CIVIC ASSOCIATION BOARD MEMBER ALTHOUGH TODAY I'M SPEAKING TO YOU AS A RESIDENT OF PINE ISLAND I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOU TO DECLINE ANNEXATION PINE ISLAND RESIDENTS USING THE AREA IS CURRENTLY PART OF A GREATER PINE ISLAND PLAN WHICH IS CREATED TO PRESERVE GREATER PINE ISLAND'S UNIQUE CHARACTER ADDRESS PINE ISLAND'S LIMITED VEHICULAR ACCESS THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREAS AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS . THE THE ANNEXATION APPLICANTS ARE AWARE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF THE GREATER PINE ISLAND PLAN PLACES ON BUILDING HEIGHTS AND RESTRICTION OF DENSITY. I SEE THIS REQUEST A VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION TO BE USED AS A LOOPHOLE AND TO CIRCUMVENT THE GREATER PINE ISLAND PLAN WHICH GOVERNS THE PROPERTY OUT AS YOU CONSIDER THE ANNEXATION AS A AS A RISK MANAGEMENT VIEWPOINT, CAPE CORAL WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PINE ISLAND'S RESIDENTS DURING ANY AND ALL EMERGENCY REQUIREMENTS MEDICAL, ENVIRONMENTAL OR NATURAL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU BILL. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS SANDY WILKIN AND I WAS ONCE A RESIDENT OF CAPE CORAL FOR THIRTY SIX YEARS. I AM NOW A RESIDENT OF MATLACK CAPE CORAL IS A GREAT CITY BUT I DON'T FEEL THAT THEY NEED TO ANNEX THIS LAND AT THIS TIME. MY REASON IS YOUR YOUNG LADY WHO SPOKE REGARDING THE DRAINAGE AREAS CIRCLED ON HER MAP THAT THIS AREA THAT THEY SPOKE ABOUT IS ENCOMPASSING THE VERY AREA THAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT ANNEXING. IT'S A LARGE DRAINAGE AREA AND PART OF AN AREA THAT'S PART OF THE PRESERVE ALSO I FEEL THAT THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS NOT IN PLACE TO HANDLE THE TRAFFIC FOR YOUR VERY CITIZENS AS WELL AS THE PEOPLE ON THE ISLAND. WE'RE OUT OF SEASON, FOLKS. AND LAST WEEK I SAT FOR AN HOUR BECAUSE THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT AND THE PINE ISLAND ROAD JUST CANNOT HANDLE OR SUPPORT AN ADDITIONAL STRUCTURE OF AN APARTMENT COMPLEX OF FIVE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE UNITS. WE DO NOT NEED HOTELS. I WILL AGREE IN ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY UNIT HOTEL BUT WE NEED A BETTER PLAN. WE JUST CAN'T SHOOT WITH A SHOCK AND HOPE THAT WE GET THE EFFECT THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. WE NEED SOME PLANNING AND I HOPE THAT WE CAN GO BACK TO THE PLANNING BOARD AND LOOK AT HOW IT'S GOING TO IMPACT EVERYONE. IT IS A GREAT CITY BUT IT CAN ONLY GROW IF WE HAVE GOOD PLANNING IN EFFECT I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU MA'AM. FIRST I'D LIKE TO THANK ANYBODY WHO HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE SHORT VIDEO AND YOU KNOW THE PLAYING OF IT HERE IN THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING UH TWO THINGS ANYBODY UP THERE EVER HAVE A DRIVE THROUGH TO TRY TO GET THE WORK OK? I REALLY DON'T THINK I NEED TO SAY ANYTHING MORE. IT'S IT CAN'T BE DONE. IT'S CRAZY. IT CAN'T DO I MEAN IT'S NOT TO MENTION THE SAFETY THING EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THEY GOT ROADWORK GOING ON WORKING ON POWER LINES SOMETHING THAT AT TWO LANES IS DOWN TO ONE. THE TRAFFIC IS BACKED UP ON PINE ISLAND AND HALFWAY DOWN PINE YOU CAN'T CAN ADD THAT MANY PEOPLE IN THAT MANY CARS THERE YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT. THE OTHER THING IS VOLUNTARY AND ANNEXING THIS AND MAKING IT PART OF CAPE OK, WHY STOP THERE ? GO HALFWAY DOWN THE ISLAND, PUT BIG CONDOS UP, YOU KNOW PARK BUILDINGS, HOTELS ANNEX OF THE WHOLE ISLAND. WOULD THAT BE RIGHT? THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. I THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO YOU. MY NAME IS KATRINA BAILEY AND I'M A FULL TIME RESIDENT OF PINE ISLAND. I'D LIKE TO EXPRESS SOME CONCERNS, QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION REGARDING THIS PROJECT. FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THE CURRENT TRAFFIC STUDY FOR THE INTERSECTION OF PINE ISLAND ROAD VETERANS PARKWAY AND BERNSTORFF ROADS TAKING THIS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT INTO CONSIDERATION WITH AN ADDITIONAL ONE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SEVEN VEHICLES. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO REQUEST A CURRENT TRAFFIC COUNT FREMANTLE'S MATLACK AND A CURRENT COUNT DURING PEAK SEASON. THIS INFORMATION, IF IT'S OUT THERE, IS VERY HARD TO FIND. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT'S BEEN UPDATED ANY TIME RECENTLY. UM, ADDITIONALLY I WOULD LIKE TO BE MADE AVAILABLE TO BE MADE AVAILABLE THE ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY WHEN IT'S COMPLETED BY THE DEVELOPER. UM WHAT I MY POINT HERE IS THAT THERE'S ALREADY A TRAFFIC ISSUE THROUGH MATT LASCHET TO THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AT BURNT STORE AND VETERANS PARKWAY DURING PEAK SEASON TRAFFIC IS OFTENTIME SPECKED FROM THE FOUR WAIST UP IN PINE ISLAND CENTER THROUGH TO THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS AT VETERANS. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM ALREADY AND IT HAS THE POSSIBILITY AND THE PROBABILITY TO ENDANGER LIVES IN REGARDS TO EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT AND EVACUATION PROCEDURES THAT MAY OCCUR FROM FIRE OR HURRICANES AT TIMES IT CAN TAKE UP TO AN HOUR OR MORE TO TRAVEL FOUR POINT FIVE MILES. THE ONLY SOLUTION GIVEN WAS A TRAFFIC CAMERA SET UP TO VIEW AND USE BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION. WE AS PINE ISLANDERS ALREADY KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE HORRIFIC TRAFFIC THROUGH MATT LASCHET BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION ISN'T ALWAYS A CHOICE. WE HAVE APPOINTMENTS OF ISLAND PEOPLE TRAVEL TO AND FROM PINE ISLAND FOR WORK AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY. THE TRAFFIC AT THE INTERSECTION OF PINE ISLAND ROAD AND VETERANS DURING THE SEASON AND OFF SEASON IS NORMALLY AND MOST TIMES BACKED UP PAST THE FRUITS AND AND FURTHER THE NEW DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED WILL HAVE UP TO ONE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SEVEN OR MORE ADDITIONAL AUTOMOBILES TRY TO MERGE INTO THAT ALREADY EXISTING TRAFFIC EVEN IF ACCESS FROM VETERANS IT STILL ADDS TO AN ALREADY VERY CONGESTED INTERSECTION. IT'S BEEN PROPOSED TO LENGTHEN THE RIGHT TURNING LANE ON TO VETERANS FROM POINT ISLAND ROAD TO HELP IN A SMALL WAY TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE EXISTING CONGESTION AT THAT INTERSECTION. I'M I'M WONDERING AND ASKING THIS STILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS PROJECTION, THIS PROPOSED PROJECT IT STATES IN THE ANNEXATION APPLICATION FOR THIS PROJECT UNDER HURRICANE EVACUATION IN ZONE A, THE IMPACT OF HURRICANE EVACUATION TIMES WOULD BE EVALUATED UPON A FUTURE LAND USE AMENDMENT APPLICATION. THESE ISSUES NEED TO BE IN PLACE PRIOR TO TAKING STEPS FORWARD TO A LARGE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL. MY BIGGEST POINT IN THIS IS THAT THERE ARE ALREADY EXISTING PROBLEMS. THESE PROBLEMS NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AND RECTIFIED PRIOR TO MORE DEVELOPMENT ONLY ADDING TO THE PROBLEM TO HOP TOO OFTEN IT'S HAPPENING THAT DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS ARE BEING APPROVED WITH A PERSON WITH THE PROBLEM AFTER EFFECTS NOT TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. THIS ISN'T IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO CONTINUALLY APPROVE BIG DEVELOPMENT WHILE IGNORING ISSUES THAT PUT CITIZENS IN DANGER AND DISRUPT THEIR TAX PAID QUALITY OF LIFE. I ASK YOU THAT DO NOT APPROVE THIS VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION AS THE FIRST STEP OF THIS LARGE DEVELOPMENT. PLEASE FIX OR HELP US TO FIX EXISTING PROBLEMS FIRST AND PLEASE LISTEN TO OUR VOICES AND CONCERNS. THEY ARE VALID. OUR VOICES NEED AND DESERVE ACCOUNT AND IN ADDITION TO THAT MY HUSBAND WANTED ME TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE ALMOST MISSED OUR LAST APPOINTMENT FOR HIS CANCER TREATMENT GOING OFF ISLAND BECAUSE WE WERE STUCK IN TRAFFIC IN MALATIA WHERE BOTH LANES WERE CLOSED FOR OVER AN HOUR AND WHEN I CALLED THE DOCTOR TO LET THEM KNOW THEY LAUGHED BECAUSE I SAID I WAS STUCK IN THAT LASCHET THEY LAUGHED AND THEY SAID WE UNDERSTAND AND YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT'S CALLED. SO THAT'S OUR SITUATION AND THAT'S REAL. AND MY HUSBAND SUFFERED FOR THAT. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK MALE. I BELIEVE I'M YOUR LAST SPEAKER. UH, MY NAME IS MIKE SWEENEY. I'M A MEMBER OF THE GREATER PINE ISLAND CIVIC ASSOCIATION AND ALSO ON THE TREASURER AND I'M ALSO A RESIDENT. I HAVE BEEN A RESIDENT OF PINE ISLAND FOR EIGHT YEARS NOW. I'M HERE THIS EVENING TO RESPOND TO THE NOTICE OF VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS BEING REVIEWED TONIGHT AS THE FIRST OF A TWO PART PROCESS I BELIEVE BEFORE A VOTE OCCURS. UH, LIVING ON PINE ISLAND I HAVE SEVERAL CONCERNS THAT I HOPE THE BOARD WILL COMMIT TO ADDRESS BEFORE THE FINAL VOTE ON THIS PROPOSAL IS HELD. THE FIRST OF THOSE IS TRAFFIC WHICH YOU'VE HEARD FROM JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY UP HERE THIS EVENING. UM, THE CORNER OF VETERANS AND PINE ISLAND ROAD IS ALWAYS CONGESTED DURING THE SEASON FROM NOVEMBER THROUGH APRIL, SOMETIMES A LITTLE BIT LONGER A LITTLE BIT EARLIER, UH, TRAFFIC TRAFFIC THAT'S TRAVELING NORTH ON VETERANS AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO PINOY AND ROAD THAT IS TO SAY TO GET ON TO PINE ISLAND ROAD. THERE MUST SOMETIMES SIT THROUGH SEVERAL LIGHT CHANGES. YOU KNOW WHERE THEY'RE SITTING . THEY'RE MOVING FORWARD A LITTLE BIT STOP BECAUSE OF THE UH, AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT'S ALREADY THERE. UM, AND I'M CONCERNED THAT THE ADDITION OF A HOTEL A FOUR STORY APARTMENT UNIT AND VARIOUS STORES AND THE ASSOCIATED CARS YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD BE ATTENDANT WITH THAT UM WOULD ONLY COMPOUND THAT TRAFFIC ISSUE. I DON'T THINK THAT'S IMAGINARY. I THINK THAT'S LEGITIMATE. UM, WHAT I'M WONDERING IS WOULD THE BOARD BE WILLING TO CONSIDER REQUIRE SOME KIND OF ACCESS TO VETERANS? I KNOW I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU HAVE THE PURVIEW TO EVEN BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT BUT MAYBE SO THAT THE THERE COULD BE SOME KIND OF AN EGRESS ONTO VETERANS RATHER THAN EVERYBODY HAVING TO GET IN AND OUT ONTO PINE ISLAND ROAD, WHICH IS ALREADY A BOTTLENECK. I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU HAVE THAT ABILITY BUT THAT'S A CONCERN. A SECOND CONCERN THAT I HAVE AND SOMEBODY ELSE MENTIONED IT THIS EVENING IS SAFETY. YOU KNOW, AS ALL WITH ALL NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED CONCERNS WITH SAFETY FOR RESIDENTS AND STRUCTURES THE SIZE OF THE HOTEL IS CURRENTLY FIVE STORIES THE SIZE OF THE RESIDENT APARTMENT BUILDING IS GOING TO BE FOUR STORIES. UM, AND I'M JUST WONDERING IF CAPE CORAL COUNCIL IS WILLING TO COMMIT TO SPEND THE MONEY TO ENSURE THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS WHICH SERVICE THOSE AREAS AND APPARENTLY IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THE MATT LASCHET AND THE PINE ISLAND FIRE DEPARTMENTS. BUT JUST COULD YOU ENSURE THAT THEY DO HAVE THE EQUIPPED, UH, LADDERS HOSES THAT ARE LONG ENOUGH TO PUT OUT SOME KIND OF ,YOU KNOW, FIRE THAT MAY OCCUR ON A TOP FLOOR UP THERE? UM, I WAS ALSO CONCERNED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WATER AND WASTE TREATMENT. I THINK THAT THAT WAS ANSWERED BY THE VERY FIRST SPEAKER UP THERE. APPARENTLY THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO PLACE. I'M JUST CURIOUS IF PINE ISLAND IS GOING TO BE THE PROVIDER FOR WATER. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS NOW. UM, AND WILL SEWER BE PROVIDED THROUGH CAPE CORAL? IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT IS ALSO GOING TO OCCUR NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION AND AS SUCH IT'S ALMOST CERTAINLY GOING TO PASS . HOWEVER, I DO NOT DO HOPE THAT THE COUNCIL WILL CONSIDER OUR NEIGHBORS, YOUR NEIGHBORS AND YOU ARE OUR NEIGHBORS, OUR CONCERNS JUST REGARDING THIS AS FAR AS PARTICULARLY TRAFFIC SAFETY GOES, THANK YOU AGAIN. ALL THANK YOU SIR. MY NAME IS DELORES SIDLER. I LIVE IN THE NORTH END OF BULGARIA AND I KNOW I'VE BEEN THERE TWENTY TWO YEARS. I SPENT THIS LAST WINTER AND REHABILITATION AT CAPE CORAL HOSPITAL OVER THE WINTER IT TOOK AN HOUR AND A QUARTER TO GET THERE. NOW YOU TELL ME THAT YOU START THROWING AT A BUNCH HOTELS OR WHATEVER AND YOU CAN ADD PEOPLE CARS, BOATS AND OUR LIVES AREN'T WORTH ANYTHING. THESE PEOPLE COME DOWN EVEN TO CAPE CORAL. THEY COME OUT ON PINE ISLAND AS TOURISTS AND THEY DRIVE AROUND THEN THEY GO BACK INTO THEIR BIG HOTELS AND THAT'S FINE. BUT HERE IN I KNOW AND WE'VE GOT THE PINE ISLAND PLAN AND WE HAD WHICH DETERMINES WHAT WE'RE REPRESENTS WHAT WE LIKE AND WHAT SMALL QUIET RURAL FARMING COMMUNITY AND I'M SO SORRY YOU'RE THAT BORED, MR. LONG. YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY, SIR. HAVE YOU BEEN SWORN IN? YES, I DID OVER THERE. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. CAN YOU HEAR ME OUT LOUD ENOUGH? ALL RIGHT, RETRIEVER. I'M ONE OF THE VOLUNTARY ANNEX LOTS GOING IN THIS ONE I REITERATE IT IS VOLUNTARY. I'M IN THE MIDDLE NEXT THE CAPE CORAL AND I SEE THE DEVELOPMENT COMING AND SO YOU KNOW I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO VOLUNTARY LEAVE, GIVE MY PROPERTY AND SIT WITH YOU GUYS. WHAT ELSE THAT'S ABOUT IT. I KNOW I'M I'M HOPING YOU'RE GOING TO ADDRESS I GET NERVOUS ADDRESSES THE TRAFFIC ISSUES FROM BARRON. THEY MENTIONED A COUPLE OF OF ISSUES WHICH I THINK WOULD HAPPEN WITH OR WITHOUT THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT. BUT THAT'S ANOTHER THING. WHAT ELSE THIS IS MOSTLY ABOUT THE VOLUNTARY SIDE BECAUSE IT'S WHAT'S BEST FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AND I JUST BOUGHT A HOUSE PALM ISLAND AND I JUST GOT MY LETTER IN THE MAIL TO JOIN THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION BUT I GUESS IT'S GOING TO GET RETRACTED BUT ANYWAY. ALL RIGHT. SEE YOU GUYS. THANK YOU, SIR. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS BEVERLY GRAVING IS THE FIRM OF ST. ANDRUS AND I REPRESENT MATT LASCHET PINE ISLAND FIRE CONTROL DISTRICT AND WE HAVE JUST CONCERNS ABOUT THE TWO ORDINANCES AND I'LL BE FOCUSING ON THAT. AND TODAY HERE WITH US IS THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF THE DISTRICT AND THE CHIEF AND THE ASSISTANT CHIEF. THE DISTRICT WAS CREATED IN 1963 AND IT PROVIDES FIRE SUPPRESSION, CONTROL SERVICES, EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES AND RESCUE SERVICES. IT ACQUIRES EQUIPMENT AND OPERATES STATIONS AND HAS PUBLIC SAFETY AND LIFE SAFETY AS ITS PRIMARY GOAL AND IT WAS A PLEASURE TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO HEAR THIS COUNCIL WORK WITH CONCERNS CITIZENS AND TO LISTEN AND TO RECOGNIZE AND THIS COUNCIL RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF PUBLIC SAFETY IN MEETING ITS RESPONSIBILITIES, THE DISTRICT HAS PLANNED PERMANENT CONSTRUCTED AND AS A FOUR MILLION DOLLAR FIRE STATION THAT'S LOCATED AT THIRTY NINE HUNDRED PINE ISLAND ROAD BETWEEN SCALLOP AND POMPANO IT'S LITERALLY A STONE'S THROW AWAY FROM YOUR SECOND ANNEXATION WHEN LOOKING AT YOUR ORDINANCE CHAPTER 171 FLORIDA STATUTES PROVIDES THE MUNICIPALITY THAT IT MAY ELECT TO PROVIDE SERVICES OR ELECT TO ALLOW CURRENT SERVICE PROVIDERS TO CONTINUE. THIS IS A REQUEST TO PERMIT THE DISTRICT TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE FIRE SERVICE TO THE ANNEX PROPERTIES AT THIS TIME THAT ELECTED IS IN SECTION FOUR OF YOUR PROPOSED ORDINANCE IN YOUR PACKAGE AND YOU CAN DECIDE TO REMOVE IT TONIGHT AND YOU CAN DECIDE TO PROVIDE IT LATER. WHAT WE WOULD RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT IS THE TAXPAYERS RIGHTFULLY EXPECT AND DESIRE ALL OF OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO WORK TOGETHER TO PROVIDE EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE SERVICE AND WE RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT IS SUFFICIENT TO PERMIT THE DISTRICT TO CONTINUE TO SERVE THE FIFTEEN POINT FOUR SEVEN ACRES THAT ARE IN FRONT OF YOU IN THIS ANNEXATION AS THE DISTRICT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SERVING AREAS EAST OF THESE ANNEX PROPERTIES, WE BELIEVE IT'S EFFECTIVE TO PERMIT THE DISTRICT WITH ITS FIRE STATION ADJACENT TO THE NEXT ONE. YOU WILL HEAR AND CLOSE TO THIS ANNEX PROPERTY TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THAT SERVICE. EMERGENCY SERVICES INCLUDE BOTH FIRE PROTECTION AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE WHICH DEMAND THE LATEST RESPONSE TIME. IT IS FOR THIS REASON THAT WE WOULD REQUESTED IN SECTION FOUR OF YOUR ORDINANCE THAT YOU WOULD ELIMINATE FIRE SERVICE PROVISION AT THIS TIME THERE ARE EXHIBITS ATTACHED TO THE LETTER AND WE THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT EXPANDS WHAT YOU FOUND IN YOUR PACK AND WHAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED BY THE STAFF IN THE APPLICANT EXHIBIT ONE TO YOUR PACK. IT HAS TWO MAPS. IT HAS THE CAPE CORAL FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND ON IT WE HAVE MARKED THE LOCATION OF THE EXISTING FIRE STATION STATION NUMBER FOUR THAT IS INSERVICE ALSO INCLUDED AS PART OF EXHIBIT ONE IS A LEE COUNTY MAP SHOWING THAT FIRE DISTRICTS AND WE'VE AGAIN SHOWN THE FIRE DISTRICT BOUNDARIES AND SHOWN WITH A LITTLE STAR THE LOCATION OF STATION FOUR WHICH IS CURRENTLY PROVIDING SERVICE TO THIS AREA. EXHIBIT TWO OUR THREE PHOTOGRAPHS THERE THE PHOTOGRAPH OF THE EXISTING FIRE STATION AND ON THAT I'VE DRAWN A LINE THAT SHOWS THE ANNEX PROPERTY AS IT'S LITERALLY RIGHT NEXT DOOR THAT WILL BE YOUR NEXT IN AND THE ANNEXATION YOU HEAR THE SECOND PHOTOGRAPH AGAIN IS STATION FOR AND WITH THE FIRE TRUCK IN THE OPEN DOORS AND THE THIRD PHOTO AGAIN IS A PICTURE OF THE FIRE STATION HAS BEEN UP IN OPERATION AND IT WAS PLANNED AND CONSTRUCTED TO SERVE THIS AREA. VERY IMPORTANT EXHIBIT IS EXHIBIT THREE. THIS IS TAKEN FROM YOUR STAFF PACKET BUT WE'VE ADDED TWO PIECES OF INFORMATION. THIS SHOWS THE DISTANCE FROM ANNEX PROPERTY TO THE EXISTING FIRE STATION. SO WHAT WE ADDED IN BLUE IS STATION FOUR WHICH IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE NEXT CASE THAT YOU WILL HEAR AND IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE CASE YOU'RE HEARING BEFORE YOU WE ALSO ADDED AS A SMALLER RED DOT WHICH WAS NOT ON THE IN YOUR PACKET WITH THE NEW CHICKWEED, THE FIRE STATION SO THAT YOU CAN SEE HOW CLOSE THE DISTRICT'S FIRE STATION IS TO PROVIDE SERVICE TO THESE ANEX PROPERTIES AND THAT THE OTHER STATIONS WITHIN THE CURRENT CITY ARE OVER TWO MILES AWAY. AND WE'VE ALSO INCLUDED AS EXHIBIT FOUR A PAGE THAT WAS IN YOUR POCKET BUT IT DIDN'T TELL THE COUNCIL THAT THERE WAS AN EXISTING FIRE STATION. IT WAS LABELED AS MUNICIPAL OWNER OFFICES LIBRARY GOVERNMENT BUILDING. NO, THAT'S WHY I INCLUDED THE PICTURES. IT IS AN OPERATING FIRE STATION PROVIDING FIRE PROTECTION AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES AND I HAVE MARKED WITH DASH LINES ACTUAL LOCATION. SO TONIGHT IS REAL WORLD DECISIONS THAT HAVE AN IMPACT ON REAL PEOPLE AND THE REASON WE ARE REQUESTING THAT THE DISTRICT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE SERVICE IS IN LOOKING AT THE PROXIMITY OF AN EXISTING STATION. IT WAS REALLY BEST SAID BY YOUR OWN FIRE CHIEF IN AN ARTICLE IT WAS UP FROM THIS MONTH MAY WHEN YOU OPENED YOUR NEW FIRE STATION. THE CHIEF POINTED OUT QUOTE A FIRE DOUBLES IN SIZE EVERY 30 SECONDS OR IMAGINE HAVING DIFFICULTY BREATHING IN AN EMERGENCY EVERY SECOND COUNTS. WE WOULD REQUEST THAT YOU MAKE THE SIMPLE DECISION JUST TO REMOVE FIRE SERVICES FROM SECTION FOUR OF THE ORDINANCE TO PERMIT THE DISTRICT AT THIS TIME TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES BECAUSE TIME IS IMPORTANT. TIME IS CRITICAL WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FIRE PROTECTION OR TALKING ABOUT EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES, WE WOULD REQUEST THAT CHANGE AND WOULD LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MALCOLM. ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THE ORDINANCE? FORTY ONE DASH TWENTY TWO PLEASE COME FORWARD. WERE YOU SWORN INTO THROUGH MY HAND UP? YES SIR. I COULD HARDLY HEAR IT. I'M HALF DEAF BUT ANYWAY MARK CARGILL FROM BULGARIA AND I REALLY ONLY HAVE ONE QUESTION. IT'S IT'S A DEVELOPMENT. IT LOOKS PRETTY AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT BUT WOULD YOU WANT IT RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR PROPERTY OR IF THE ANSWER'S NO TO YOU PERSONALLY I THINK IT SHOULD BE NO IN REGARDS TO THE VOTE IF IT'S YES. LET'S MOVE IT OVER TO YOUR AREA. YEAH. YOU KNOW, I'M SORRY I THINK A LITTLE SIMPLE BUT YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU IS GOOD FOR ME AND MY RIGHTS AND WHEN THEY STEP ON YOURS AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING ON THE ISLAND IS THAT WE'RE GETTING STEPPED AND WITHOUT BRINGING THE SERVICES AND EVERYTHING TO TAKE CARE OF US, WE'RE GETTING SHORTCHANGED ON THIS DEAL. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK ONE ORDINATE. FORTY ONE DASH TWENTY SEE A NON PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED. IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE FORTY ONE DASH TWENTY TWO SO MOVE SECOND ANY COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON ORDINANCE FORTY ONE DASH TWENTY TWO COUNCIL MEMBER SHEPARD I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME THINGS I HAVE A FAMILY BUSINESS ON MY FOR MANY YEARS SO I'M FAMILIAR WITH EVERYTHING THAT WAS MENTIONED BY THE PEOPLE PLANNING THE LASCHET BECAUSE I DEAL WITH IT AS WELL . I WORK OUT THERE ALMOST EVERY DAY WITH THE FAMILY MEMBERS AND WHAT I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND IS I THINK AS NEIGHBORS WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER FOR THE PROBLEMS THAT WE'VE ALL SPOKE ABOUT A LOT OF THE TRAFFIC GOING ON TO THE ISLAND ISN'T THE KEY SPOT. I MEAN I DEAL WITH JUST LIKE YOU GUYS IT'S TOURIST MATT LASCHET HAS BECAME A MAGNET FOR TOURISTS. THEY DID THEY DEVELOPED THEIR MATLACK STRIP AS THIS ARTSY LOCATION WHERE THERE'S THERE'S ART AND ALL THESE LITTLE NIFTY SHOPS AND EVERYTHING PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT IT IS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. PEOPLE COME JUST TO GO THERE AND WHAT MATT LASCHET HAS FAILED TO DO IS CREATE THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO HANDLE IT. THERE'S NO PARKING, THERE'S NO SIDEWALKS. THERE'S NOWHERE FOR THESE CARS TO GO. MY FAMILY FARM IS ZOMBO CéLIA. I LITERALLY HAVE CARS PULL INTO MY FARM AND AND TELL ME THAT THEY CAME FROM WHEREVER AND YOU WORK WHEREVER TO GO TO MATT LASCHET SO WHAT I'M JUST TRYING TO EXPRESS IS THE SUFFERING AND THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE DEALING WITH ARE ARE ARE PAINS THAT TO KEEP DEALS WITH AS WELL. WE HAVE NEIGHBORHOODS TO KEEP THAT ARE TRANSITIONING BECAUSE OF GROWTH AND AND WE HAVE CITIZENS HERE TO HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINTS KNOW THEY DON'T WANT NOT IN MY BACKYARD BUT YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T STOP PEOPLE FROM ,YOU KNOW, DEVELOPING THEIR PROPERTY. I DEAL WITH IT WITH MY FARM ON PINE ISLAND WE GET PEOPLE THERE BY BUILDING LOTS AROUND MY FARM AND THEY BUILD A HOME AND THEN THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT HERE IN TRACTORS THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT LIVING NEXT TO A FARM. SO IT'S ALL I'M TRYING TO EXPRESS IS TO TO BE THE MOST GET THESE PROBLEMS RESOLVED. WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER. YEAH, THERE ARE ROOT ISSUES. THERE'S ROAD WIDENING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. BUT I THINK TOGETHER WITH CAPE CORAL WORKING WITH MANTOSH IN PINE ISLAND, IF WE WORK AS A TEAM AND AND SPEAK TO THE COUNTY THEN WE CAN COME UP WITH IDEAS ON HOW TO FIX THE TRAFFIC PROBLEM BUT TO SIMPLY SAY CAPE CORAL PEOPLE ARE COMING ON OUR ISLAND TOURISTS PEOPLE ARE COMING ON OUR ISLAND AND THEY'RE CREATING THIS HARDSHIP FOR US. WE GUESS WHAT PINE ISLAND PEOPLE COME TO CAPE CORAL TO SHOP. THEY COME TO CAPE CORAL FOR THEIR MEDICAL NEEDS. THEY COME TO CAPE CORAL FOR OUR BUSINESSES. SO ALL OF US ARE CREATING THE TRAFFIC AND THE TOURISTS ARE JUST ADDING THAT MUCH MORE SO YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE THAT WAS SAID DURING TOURIST SEASON, IT COMES TO A STANDSTILL. I SIT IN THE TRAFFIC JUST LIKE YOU GUYS PASTA FAWWAZ UP SOMETIMES I'M SITTING TRYING TO LEAVE THE ISLAND. I HAD A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY GET HURT AT THE FORUM WHERE I TRIED TO RACE THEM TO THE HOSPITAL AND THERE'S NO SHOULDER I COULDN'T EVEN PASS THE CARS WITH MY LIGHTS FLASHING TO RUN THE RACE MY SON TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE THERE IS NO SHOULDERING THAT LASCHET SO I UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEMS BUT I WANT EVERYBODY TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER BOTH COMMUNITIES AND WE'RE GOING TO BE MORE POWERFUL WORKING TOGETHER TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEMS SO I DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK THAT ANNEXING THIS PROPERTY IS THE WHOLE REASON OF OUR PROBLEMS. YOU KNOW, AND I THINK IF WE SIT DOWN TOGETHER WE CAN WORK THINGS OUT AND THAT'S ALL I WOULD LIKE TO SAY. THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER WELSCH. THANK YOU, MAYOR. I WANTED TO REACH OUT ON A FEW OF THE TOPICS TOO THAT I HEARD TODAY FROM THE RESIDENTS OF PALM ISLAND ONE BEING TRAFFIC AND ONE BEING ADDED TRAFFIC THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE AS CAPE CORAL THAT WE PUSH FOR TO HELP BOTH OF OUR COMMUNITIES IS THE BERNSTORFF PROJECT WHICH IS PROVIDING A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY OUT OF THE CITY FOR US THAT LIVE IN THE IN THAT AREA. YOU KNOW, THIS IS GOING TO BE PART OF MY DISTRICT. I'VE LIVED NEAR SKYLINE AND PINE ROAD MY ENTIRE LIFE SO I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO GET THROUGH THERE. SOMETHING ELSE OUR COMMISSION HAS AS WE APPROACH THE STATE TO INCREASE WHILE ON ROAD THREE FOUR LANES TO SIX LANES AND SUCCESSFULLY AS A COMMISSION BETWEEN COUNCIL MEMBER SCHEPPER COUNCIL MEMBER HANAN, THE MAYOR MYSELF AND A FEW OTHERS, WE'VE GOT THE STATE TO BRING FORWARD NEW STUDIES WAY AHEAD SCHEDULE . WE'RE TALKING TEN YEARS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE TO INCREASE PLAN ON THE ROAD FROM FOUR LANES THE SIX LANES. SO I SEE THIS AS A LOT OF YOUR YOUR ISSUES ARE OUR TRAFFIC. A LOT OF IT MIGHT BE HEALTH CARE RELATED. WE JUST HAD A NEW EMERGENCY ROOM OPENED ON PINE ISLAND ROAD THANKS TO FOSSET MEMORIAL. SO THAT'S A WAY FOR THE ISLANDERS TO GET TO HEALTH CARE FASTER. WE RECENTLY ALSO THANKS THE COUNCILMAN SHEPARD HAD PROPERTY PURCHASED NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF BERNSTORFF ROAD AND PINE ISLAND ROAD BY LEE HELP. SO THEY SEE OUR CONCERNS AND THEY'RE TRYING TO GET THERE SO WITH THIS BEING A VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY HARD FOR ME TO SAY NOW BECAUSE GOING ON WHAT THE RESIDENTS THE OWNERS WANT IS WHAT WE WANT TO DO. MY MY CONCERN IS THE ABILITY TO SERVICE THESE PROPERTIES ONCE THEY'RE DONE. SO I HEARD FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE GREATER PINE ISLAND CIVIC ASSOCIATION THAT PART OF YOUR WATER MANAGEMENT YOU'RE NOT SURE IF IT'S ABLE TO SUPPORT IT. YOUR FIRES MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THESE THINGS SO SOME OF THE OPPOSITION WE'VE HAD IS FROM THOSE ORGANIZATIONS. SO IF PINE ISLAND HAS YOUR RESIDENTS YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MAYBE HAVING TO UPGRADE YOUR WATER SYSTEMS OR PAY MORE MONEY TO GET A FIRE TRUCK THAT CAN SERVICE THIS FACILITIES, MAYBE TALK WITH THOSE TO ASSOCIATIONS AND ASK THEM TO WORK WITH THE CITY TO MAKE IT BETTER FOR EVERYBODY. EXCUSE ME. I I KNOW IF YOU DON'T IF CHIEF LAMBKIN EXPRESS THE COST OF A FIRE TRUCK THAT'S GOING TO SERVICE A FIVE STORY BUILDING OR WHAT COULD BE NEEDED. SO COUNCIL MEMBER I'M HAPPY TO ADDRESS THAT QUESTION. SO WE BELIEVE TO THE BROADER QUESTION OF WHETHER SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW FOR THE GREATER PINE ISLAND WATER AUTHORITY OR THE MALUSI FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT TO SERVE THAT PROPERTY. I THINK YOU HEARD SPEAKERS TODAY WHO APPROACHED THE PODIUM AND EXPRESSED A BELIEF THAT NEITHER ORGANIZATION HAS THE ABILITY TO SERVICE THAT THESE PROPERTIES BEING ANEX AND BEING DEVELOPED WITHOUT FURTHER CAPITAL INVESTMENT. I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL BOTH THE WATER, SEWER AND FIRE PROTECTION SIDE CAN MORE THAN ADEQUATE SERVE THESE PROPERTIES ONCE THEY COME INTO THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL. AND I'M NOT SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS BUT ONE OF THE REASONS THEY WANT TO COME INTO THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL IS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO RECEIVE THE HIGH LEVEL OF SERVICES THAT THE CAPE PROVIDES . THANK YOU. CITY REMINDER TO ADDRESS THE QUESTION ON A NEW LADDER TRUCK THEY'RE RUNNING ABOUT A MILLION FOUR MILLION FIVE. SO WHAT WE'RE BASICALLY WHAT I'M BASICALLY GETTING AT IS THAT WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT TRYING TO TAKE AWAY WHAT YOU LOVE ON AN ISLAND. I'VE GOT FRIENDS THAT LIVE OUT THERE BUT TO ME IT'S GOING TO BE HARD WITH VOLUNTEER AND IT'S AND I HOPE THAT WHAT WE CAN DO IS CAPE CORAL TO SHOW YOU THAT WE'RE WORKING ON MAKING EASIER FOR ALL OF US IN THAT CORRIDOR ONE WITH THE UPGRADED ROADS, ONE WITH THE NEW HOSPITALS AND HOSPITAL SPACE. SO WITH THAT I'M THINKING COUNCIL MEMBER NELSON. THANK YOU, MAYOR. I'M NOT GOING TO BEAT A DEAD HORSE BUT I THINK CAN'T REMEMBER WELL PROBABLY SAID IT BEST. YOU KNOW, IT'S A HEART IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT TO SAY NOW GIVEN THAT THIS IS MY COUNTRY. I DID DO A LITTLE RESEARCH IN TERMS OF WHAT YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LOOKED LIKE FROM THE COUNTY AND THE MOST UPDATED PLAN I SEE IS BACK FROM TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHTEEN AND OR SORRY 2015 WHERE YOU HAD A STAKEHOLDERS GROUP THAT MET AND TALKED ABOUT TRAFFIC AND AND SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT YOU ALL ARE MENTIONING IT IS MY HOPE AS COUNCIL MEMBER SHEPARD STATED THAT WE WORK TOGETHER AND TO ME I SEE OUR CITY SERVICES AS BEING A BENEFIT TO THAT PARTICULAR PROPERTY. AS MR. CITY MANAGER POINTED OUT ,WE WE CAN MORE THAN SERVICE THAT AND WE CAN HANDLE IT. IT WOULD ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERNS THAT SOME OF YOU MENTIONED AND AS COUNCIL MEMBER WELSCH TALKED ABOUT APPROACHING A STATE REGARDING THE ROADWAY. I THINK AGAIN THAT SHOWS OUR OUR ABILITY TO HELP DEVELOP SOLUTIONS THAT BENEFIT EVERYONE AND IN REVIEWING YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE COUNTY LAST UPDATED I THINK IN 2015 AGAIN THAT WAS THE MOST RECENT ONE I COULD FIND. IT TALKS ABOUT WHAT YOUR FOUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES WERE DURING THAT PLANNING SESSION AND ONE OF THEM THAT STICKS OUT TO ME PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE IS PRESERVING WHAT YOU CURRENTLY HAVE ON PAINEI AND I DON'T SEE HOW THIS VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION IS GOING TO HURT THAT WE DO HAVE A TRAFFIC ISSUE. NO DOUBT YOU MY 83 YEAR OLD MOTHER LOVES TO GO TO BERTELLI SO BELIEVE ME DURING SEASON I CRINGE WHEN SHE WANTS TO GO BUT I STILL TAKE HER IN AND THAT TRAFFIC ISSUE AGAIN IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK WE CAN WORK TOGETHER WITH THE COUNTY IN THE STATE AND OUR CITY TO TO HELP DEVELOP SOLUTIONS. SO I WILL BE SUPPORTING THIS ANNEXATION TONIGHT. THANK YOU FOR COMING. COUNCIL MEMBER TATE I TO CLARIFY SOMETHING ON THE AREZZO SUMMARY THAT YOU GAVE US. THANK YOU FOR THE PICTURES BUT I'M REALLY WELL AWARE OF THE WHERE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS IS VERY CUTE AND IT FITS INTO THE COMMUNITY BUT I'M CONCERNED THAT SO YOU'RE TRYING TO SERVICE THAT AND YET THE RESIDENTS TOLD US THAT YOU DON'T HAVE THE LADDER TRUCKS OR THE CAPACITY TO SERVICE THAT IF THEY WERE TO BUILD THAT HIGH UP ,IS THAT CORRECT? SO YOU WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE THAT TRUCK AND THEN THAT'S WHERE THE TAXPAYERS WOULD BE PAYING MORE MONEY. IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH. I MEAN IT'S KIND OF LIKE YES OR NO YOU DO HAVE THE TRUCK OR YOU DON'T HAVE THE OR YOU DON'T HAVE THE LADDER. YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF ONE MEANS OF FIGHTING FIRE, YOU KNOW RIGHT NOW YOU GOING IT'S NOW RIGHT HERE THIS ONE. YEAH SURE. CHIEF MAKE A LIGHT FOR THE FIRE DISTRICT. THERE'S MANY WAYS TO HOW YOU CAN FIGHT A FIRE ALLOWED A TRUCK IS ANOTHER TOOL UTILIZED FOR RESCUE OR FIRE SUPPRESSION BUT AS OUR COUNSEL MENTIONED, IF THERE'S A VEHICLE FIRE, IF THERE'S A FIRE ON THE FIRST FLOOR THAT WE CAN EASILY MANAGE FIRE W EVERYBODY'S ACTIONS WE ARE ACROSS THE STREET. WE CAN EXTINGUISH THAT FIRE VERY QUICKLY RATHER THAN WAITING AN ADDITIONAL TIME. SO MY QUESTION WAS SO YOU DON'T HAVE THE LADDERS THAT YOU WOULD NEED CURRENTLY, CORRECT? WE DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF TROUBLE . OK, THANK YOU. THAT'S WHAT I NEEDED. THANK YOU MR. MAYOR. MR. CITY MANAGER, EMERGENCY RESPONSE MADE BY A LOT OF MY PARTY. I'M SURE THAT OUR YOUR PARTY IS MORE THAN HAPPY TO WORK WITH MATT LASCHET ON A APPROPRIATE RESPONSE PROTOCOL ASSUMING THAT THEY'RE TRAINING STAFFING EQUIPMENT AND SO FORTH IS COMPARABLE AND TO THE LEVEL OF CAPE CORAL AND WE CAN HAVE THAT ASSURANCE WE'RE HAPPY TO WORK WITH THEM BECAUSE AT THE BOTTOM THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE PROPERTY OWNERS OF THESE TWO PARCELS WANT TO COME INTO THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL AND WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT THOSE PARCELS AND EVENTUALLY THE OCCUPANTS OF THOSE PARCELS RECEIVE THE SAME HIGH LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT WE GUARANTEE TO OUR TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHT THOUSAND RESIDENTS AND THIRTY THOUSAND VISITORS THAT COME THAT COME TO THE CITY . SO AS LONG AS WE CAN GET GUARANTEE THAT WE'RE HAPPY TO WORK WITH THEM ON A RESPONSE PROTOCOL. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM CITY COUNCIL AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE FLOOR. MADAM CITY CLERK, COULD YOU CALL TATE? WELL, I COSDEN I ENTER HADYN. I LIKE NELSON. I SHEPHERD EIGHT EYES MOTION CARRY IT MOVE ON ORDINANCE FORTY TWO DASH TWENTY TWO PLEASE READ THE TITLE ORDINANCE FORTY TWO DASH TWENTY TWO AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE ANNEXATION OF A PLOT OR PARCEL OF LAND DESCRIBED AS A PORTION OF TWENTY TWO TRACT TO T W. STEVENS ESTATE UNRECORDED SUBDIVISION LYING IN A PORTION OF SECTION NINETEEN TOWNSHIP FORTY FOUR S RANGE TWENTY THREE EAST LEE COUNTY FLORIDA SAID PLOT OR PARCEL OF LAND BEING MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED PROVIDING FOR REDEFINITION OF CITY BOUNDARIES, PROVIDING FOR CITY OF CAPE CORAL FIRE DEPARTMENT AND UTILITY SERVICES PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS MATTER ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK OR PROVIDE TESTIMONY OR AN ORDINANCE FORTY TWO DASH TWENTY TWO MUST BE SWORN IN. PLEASE STAND IF YOU WISH TO BE SWORN IN RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. DO YOU SOLEMNLY SWEAR OR AFFIRM TO TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH? I DO DO THANK YOU. JUST GAVE ME CITY COUNCIL FOR THE RECORD TED BOIKO PRINCIPAL PLANNER WITH A CITY'S PLANNING DIVISION THIS IS ORDINANCE FORTY TWO TWENTY TWO. THIS IS GOING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE THE ONE WE JUST HAD. THIS IS ANOTHER VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION THIS AS MULTIPLE APPLICANTS ALL FOUR OF THE ALL THREE OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN THE FOUR PARCELS WERE CONSIDERED THE APPLICANTS AS PART OF THIS THE SIZE OF THE SITE IS TWENTY FIVE ACRES. THIS IS SOUTH OF PINE ISLAND ROAD, WEST OF VETERANS PARKWAY . ONCE AGAIN IF THIS WAS ANNEXED INTO THE CITY, THIS WOULD TRANSITION INTO THE TRANSITION AREA OF OUR URBAN BOUNDARY AREA GIVEN THAT THERE ARE UTILITIES IN THE NEARBY PROXIMITY THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO SERVE THIS SITE AS WE MENTIONED EARLIER, THE REQUEST IS TO ANNEX FOUR PARCELS INTO THE CITY BOUNDARIES AND ONCE AGAIN THIS IS A VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION SOME FINDINGS OF FACT THE MAJORITY OF THE SITE IS UNDEVELOPED. THE LARGER PARCELS ARE PART OF THIS ARE UNDEVELOPED. THOSE ARE THE TWO SITES THAT ARE TO THE ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THIS PROPERTY THERE IS SOME DEVELOPMENT THAT IS CURRENTLY THERE. THERE IS I BELIEVE LIKE A PLANT NURSERY FRUIT STAND AND I BELIEVE A CHURCH ON THE SMALLER PARCELS. THIS IS ADJACENT TO THE SEA ON TWO SIDES. IT IS ADJACENT TO THE NORTH AND TO THE EAST NOT IS NOT TO THE WEST. THE WEST IS STILL UNINCORPORATED. LAKE COUNTY IS DIRECTLY ABUTTING THE PARCEL TO THE EAST AND ONCE AGAIN THE APPLICANT HAS STATED A DESIRE TO DEVELOP COMMERCIAL AND MIX USES BY ASSEMBLING WITH PARCELS TO THE EAST AND SIMILARLY A FUTURE LAND USE METHOD. AND THE REASON HAS BEEN FILED WITH THIS SUBSEQUENT TO THIS APPLICATION AS WELL THAT FUTURE LAND USE NOT MEMET WOULD BE TO THE ROAD DISTRICT AND THE ZONING DISTRICT HAS PROPOSED IS COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR ONCE AGAIN WE REVIEWED IT WITH LDC SECTION THREE FIVE ONE WHICH COVERS VOLUNTARY ANNEXATIONS. THE FIRST STANDARD IS THAT THE ANNEXATION INFLUENCE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT FINDS IT DOES THROUGH NUMEROUS ASPECTS OF REDUCING ANGLAISE INCREASING NONRESIDENTIAL LANDS WITHIN THE CITY. SECONDLY, THIS GOES ALONG WITH THE SECOND STANDARD WHICH IS THAT THE ANNEXATION WOULD INCREASE THE INVENTORY OF NONRESIDENTIAL LANDS. WE MENTIONED EARLIER THAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING PIOLíN ROAD DISTRICT LAND USE AND COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS ZONING. THE ANNEXATION WOULD RESULT IN THE RULE OF ENCLAVE'S THOUGH THERE'S NOT REALLY AN ENCLAVE AT THIS POINT BUT THIS DOES WITH THE NEXT STANDARD WHICH IS THAT THE ANNEXATION RESULTS AND THE LOGICAL EXTENSION OF CITY BOUNDARIES CONSIDERING THAT'S DIRECTLY ABUTTING A PARCEL TO THE EAST AND THEN TO THE NORTH ACROSS PINON ROAD YOU HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF CITY PROPERTIES THAT ARE TO THE NORTH. SO SERVICE PROVISIONS FOR THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE LAST THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL UTILITIES DEPARTMENT HAS STATED THAT THE RESOURCE IS AVAILABLE TO THE SITE. LEE COUNTY HAS ISSUED A LETTER STATING THAT THEY WOULD RELEASE THEIR PROVISION TO PROVIDE SEWER SERVICE TO THE SITE SO THE UTILITY DEPARTMENT WOULD PROVIDE SEWER SERVICE SIMILAR TO THE LAST PARCEL AT THE GREATER HIGHLAND WATER ASSOCIATION HAS SERVICE RIGHTS TO THIS PROPERTY UNTIL TWENTY FIFTY. THE RIO POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS STATED THAT THE SITE WILL BE SERVED BY THE CITY'S POLICE AND SIMILARLY THE CITY OF KAYPRO FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS STATED THAT THE SITE CAN CAN BE SERVED BY THE CITY'S FIRE DEPARTMENT SIMILAR THE LAST ONE WHERE THERE IS STILL A FOUR YEAR SERVICE PROVISION AND ANY AGREEMENT TO END BEFORE OR CONTINUE ON THAT WOULD BE DEALT WITH BETWEEN THE CITY'S FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE PINE ISLAND FIRE SPECIAL DISTRICT. SO OUR RECOMMENDATION IS APPROVAL OF THIS AND I STAND BY FOR ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. I KNOW HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING IF THERE'S ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THE ORDINANCE. FORTY TWO DAYS TWENTY TWO PLEASE COME FORWARD. WE'LL DO THE SAME PROCESS AS LAST. I'LL GIVE THE APPLICANT THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK FIRST AND THEN WE'LL TURN IT OVER TO THE PUBLIC COMMENTS. GOOD EVENING AGAIN FOR THE RECORD FRED DROBNICK FROM OUR PLANNING REPRESENTING THE OWNERS OF THE FOUR INDIVIDUAL PARCELS AS PART OF THIS ANNEXATION PROCESS. I'M GOING TO JUST GO THE AERIAL AND BECAUSE THE REST OF THE PRESENTATION IS VERY SIMILAR WE AGREE WITH STAFF. WE AGREE WITH THEIR ANALYSIS ON THIS AND OF COURSE RECOMMEND APPROVAL. SO WE'RE NOW WE'RE ON THE WEST SIDE OF VETERANS AND PINE ISLAND ROAD YOU CAN SEE THE LOGICAL EXTENSION OF OF THE CITY BOUNDARY. THE INTENTION OF THIS LONG TERM IS TO IS TO DEVELOP THIS AND THE PARCEL CLEAR TO VETERANS AS ONE COHESIVE DEVELOPMENT. THAT'S OUR HOPE, OF COURSE THAT THAT DOESN'T WEIGH IN NECESSARILY ON THE ANNEXATION TODAY BUT THAT THE THE HOPE OF THE CONTRACT PURCHASER AND THE FUTURE TO DEVELOP THIS AS A GREAT MIXED USE CORNER. THE THE ZONING AND LAND USE IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAD IN THE LAST ANNEXATIONS CURRENTLY LEE COUNTY AGRICULTURAL AND LEE COUNTY RURAL FUTURE LAND USE. WE WANT TO GO INTO THE PIERDE AND TO THE ZONING DISTRICT WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMP PLAN FOR THIS FOR THIS AREA WE DO UNDERSTAND IN HERE AND ARE PAYING ATTENTION TO AND ARE PRETTY PRETTY AWARE OF BASED ON LOOKING AT A FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PLAN. THE CURRENT TRAFFIC ISSUES THAT ARE PART OF THE LEE COUNTY SIDE OF PINE ISLAND ROAD WHICH IS EAST OR WEST OF VETERANS AND IN BURNT STORE, I DON'T THINK IT'S A FOREGONE CONCLUSION THAT THE ANNEXATION AND DEVELOPMENT THIS CORNER WILL NECESSARILY MAKE THAT WORSE BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO BE OFF SITE IMPACTS. THERE'S GOING TO BE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ADDRESS THAT CORNER ACCESS TO VETERANS AND ALL THIS WILL BE DONE AT THE TIME OF SITE PLAN APPROVAL AND WE'LL HAVE TO COORDINATE WITH LEE COUNTY DOT AND MAKE THIS PLACE MAKE THIS INTERSECTION WORK SO SO I DO THINK THAT THERE IS OPPORTUNITY HERE AS THIS DEVELOPS TO HOPEFULLY ADDRESS AT MINIMUM NOT MAKE WORSE WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A PRETTY BAD CIRCUMSTANCE ALREADY AND ADDRESS THESE INTERSECTIONS AND REALLY MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL HOPEFULLY HELP. THE ONLY OTHER PART THAT I DID HEAR IN THE TESTIMONY TONIGHT I DID WANT WANT TO MAKE SURE AND POINT OUT AND IT'S NOT IT'S NOT REAL CRITICAL BUT I DO KNOW THIS FOR A FACT BECAUSE I WAS JUST IN LEE COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS HEARING THIS MORNING DOING A LAND USE CHANGE ON THE PARCEL ON UP ON THE PARCEL THAT IS CLEAR TO THE WEST OF THIS PARCEL THAT IS THE LAST THE LAST LITTLE PIECE NEXT TO THE PRESERVE AREA AND AND MOVING IT IN THE FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY OF COMMERCIAL. SO THIS THIS THAT PARCEL AND EVERYTHING THERE IS NOT IN THE IN THE PINE ISLAND PLAN AND IT DOESN'T FALL INTO THAT. SO WE'RE NOT TRYING TO CIRCUMVENT THE LEE COUNTY ORDINANCE OR THE PINE ISLAND LAND PLAN. IT'S IN IT'S IN THIS WEIRD COMMUNITY AREA BUT IT'S KIND OF A NO MAN'S LAND AND THAT PINE ISLAND LAND PLAN THAT REDUCES DENSITY AND ALL THOSE THINGS DOESN'T APPLY TO THIS PIECE WE'RE TRULY TRYING TO DO THIS IS A VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION BECAUSE OF WHAT CITY MANAGER AND HAS MENTIONED THAT WE BELIEVE THIS IS BEST FOR THE CITY. WE BELIEVE THIS IS BEST FOR THE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY AND THE SERVICES GOING FORWARD NOT TRYING TO CIRCUMVENT ANY OTHER TYPES OF THINGS THAT WOULD NOT ALLOW US TO DEVELOP MORE THAN WHAT THE RESIDENTS REALLY WANTED THERE OR IF THERE WAS AN EXISTING PLAN FOR LEE COUNTY. WITH THAT SAID, WE AGREE WITH STAFF. WE WE BELIEVE IT'S CONSISTENT WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND WE ARE ASKING FOR ADOPTION AS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF AND AS THE ORDINANCE AS WRITTEN. THAT'S IT HERE FOR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NOW FOR THE PUBLIC. YES. HI UH MY NAME IS CONSTANCE FELICIO AGAIN. I AM PROPERTY OWNER AND RESIDENT. FINALLY I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY RECORDS BECAUSE I CLEARLY WAS NOT HEARD WHEN I SPOKE AND I APOLOGIZE IF MY VOICE WAS NOT LOUD ENOUGH. UM BUT I AM NOT THE PRESIDENT OF THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION. I NEVER CLAIMED TO BUT MY READING HERE STATES I AM A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE GREATER PUNO AND CIVIC ASSOCIATION. IT DID NOT EVEN TELL YOU I WAS ON THE BOARD SO OBVIOUSLY I WAS MISUNDERSTOOD AND I SPOKE AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CLARIFIED THAT UM, ANOTHER THING IS ON A PERSONAL NOTE AS A RESIDENT I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS ANNEXATION IS A LOOPHOLE TO SIDESTEP UPON OUR OWN PLAN. UM, WE HAVE SPECIFIC BUILDING LIMITATIONS IN PLACE AND BY STAYING A PINE ISLAND PIECE OF PROPERTY THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO THIS IF I COULD EASILY SAY I AM NO LONGER A US RESIDENT. I AM NOW CANADIAN RESIDENT SO THAT IT WOULD PROFIT ME I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO THAT WITHOUT DUE PROCESS. AND WHAT WE'RE ASKING YOU AS THE COUNCIL IS TO DO THAT DUE PROCESS IF YOU'RE GOING TO RUBBER STAMP THIS AT A MINIMUM PLEASE CONSIDER PUTTING CONDITIONS ON THE RUBBER STAMP OF THIS ANNEXATION BECAUSE IT IS HAVING DIRECT IMPACTS ON OUR COMMUNITY WHICH IS YOUR NEIGHBOR TO THE WEST. IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO REREAD MY ENTIRE PIECE FROM BEFORE, I CAN CERTAINLY DO SO OR I CAN SUBMIT A PRINTED COPY TO BE ADDED TO THE SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LET ME KNOW WHETHER YOU WANT ME TO REREAD IT FOR THIS ANNEXATION OR IF YOU WANT ME TO JUST SUBMIT THE PRINTED COPY I THINK WE PROBABLY ALL CAN RECALL EXACTLY WHAT YOUR TESTIMONY WAS BEFORE BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT THAT IN WRITING FOR THE RECORD THEN OUR CITY CLERK WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TAKE THAT FROM ME. OK, I DO APPRECIATE THAT. AND AGAIN WE DO PLEAD WITH YOU TO PLEASE LISTEN TO US LISTEN TO THE SPECIFIC FACTS THAT WE ARE MENTIONING BECAUSE THEY ARE LIGHT IMPACTING. OK, THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. LORI ADAMS, GENERAL MANAGER GRADER PINE ISLAND WATER ASSOCIATION SIMILAR TO OUR SENIOR AND YOUR ENGINEER MIX AS HE SPOKE BEFORE. WE'RE NOT HERE TO OPPOSE A VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION BUT SOME THINGS I HEARD EARLIER WANTED ME TO SPEAK AND CLARIFY IN TERMS OF OUR ABILITY TO SERVE. I THINK WE'VE MADE REASONABLY CLEAR NOT JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE THE FRANCHISE BUT WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE ALREADY IN PLACE FOR BOTH OF THE VOLUNTARY ANNEXATIONS. THIS 25 ACRE PARCEL SITS APPROXIMATELY 800 FEET FROM OUR SKALLA PUMP STATION AND WE HAVE A SIX INCH WATER MAIN THAT'S RIGHT ABUTTING THAT PROPERTY. SO I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO THINK THAT WE NEED TO BUILD UP IN ORDER TO SERVE THAT PROPERTY. IT'S ALREADY THERE SIMILAR TO THE OTHER VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION . AGAIN, I UNDERSTAND IT'S BEEN APPROVED TO BE ANNEXED. THAT'S NOT WHY WE'RE HERE SPEAKING. IT'S SIMPLY TO LET YOU KNOW WE HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE THERE FOR THAT PROPERTY AS WELL. NOT ONLY A 12 INCH WATER MAIN GOING PAST THE PROPERTY BUT AN EIGHT INCH MAIN THAT'S GOING TOWARDS THE PROPERTY SO I JUST WANTED TO STATE THAT FOR THE RECORD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MA'AM. MY NAME MY NAME IS INURES SIDLER. I WILL KILL YOU PINE ISLAND AND I AM HERE TO OPPOSE IT. UH THE WHOLE PROCESS UH FAR AS FAR AS 90 PERCENT OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT HAVE SPOKEN ALREADY IT'S IN THE RECORD. YOU'VE GOT IT. I'M SURE IT'S ON TAPE. SO MY COMMENT IS DITTO THANK YOU AND AFTERNOON MY NAME IS LITTLE REGIO. I LIVE IN CAPE CORAL AND MY HOME FACES SOUTH DOWN TO PINE ISLAND AND ROAD AND MY CONCERN IS THIS WHEN WE MOVE DOWN FROM CHICAGO A YEAR AGO MY WIFE SHE ENJOYED WATCHING THE EAGLES FLY INTO THE PINES. SHE ENJOYED WATCHING THE OSPREYS GET FISH OUT OF THE POND. SHE ENJOYED THAT. SHE WENT OUT AND BOUGHT A SIGN THAT SAID WELCOME TO PARADISE. WELL, I'M GOING TO GO HOME AND TAKE THAT SIGN AND PUT IT IN THE GARBAGE BECAUSE WHY ARE WE HERE? YOU'VE ALREADY ALREADY MADE UP YOUR MIND ABOUT APPROVING THIS AND SO WHY ARE WE HERE? YOU CAN'T PUT FIVE LANES OF TRAFFIC INTO ONE LANE AND NOT HAVE A TRAFFIC JAM. YOU CAN'T FIGHT A SIX DALTRY FIRE WITH A HOOK AND IT ONLY GOES FOUR STORIES. YOU HAVE TO HAVE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS. YOU HAVE TO HAVE PUMPING TRUCKS . YOU HAVE TO DO ALL THIS STUFF WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GET ALL THAT WATER IF YOU DON'T HAVE WATER TO SUPPLY A SPRINKLER SYSTEM OR A PUMP TRUCK TO PUT OUT A FIRE, WE'RE JUST BLOWING SMOKE HERE BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE BESIDES JUST FIXING THIS PROPERTY. THERE'S A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND I'M PERSONALLY SPEAKING I DON'T THINK ANYBODY HERE REALLY THOUGHT IT OUT AS TO WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO NEED IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS IT'S FEASIBLE AND WORK FOR EVERYBODY. I JUST DON'T THINK YOU'VE THOUGHT ABOUT BECAUSE THERE'S MORE HERE THAN JUST MAKING A ROAD BIGGER OR MAKING OUR HOTEL TO SUPPLY A PLACE FOR TOURISTS TO GO TO NOW TO SHARE AN ISLAND . THERE'S A LOT MORE HERE AND I JUST DON'T THINK YOU'VE THOUGHT OF IT. YOU THOUGHT THROUGH IT. I REALLY DON'T AND THAT'S JUST MY MEISEI. THANK YOU, SIR. AGAIN. YES. MISS DEBORAH SWISHER. I AM A MEMBER ALTHOUGH TODAY I'M SPEAKING TO YOU AGAIN AS JUST A PLAIN ISLAND RESIDENT I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOU TO DECLINE THE ANNEXATION AGAIN. THE REASON WHY THAT PIECE PROPERTY IS PART OF THE PINE ISLAND PLAN IS BECAUSE IT'S BEFORE THE THE MAJOR INTERSECTION IT'S THERE SO THEREFORE IT IS AND SHOULD BE GUIDED BY THE THE GREATER PINE ISLAND PLAN WHICH IS THROUGH THE COUNTY. IT WAS THERE TO CREATE A PRESERVE UNIQUENESS ADDRESS THE MY ISLANDS LIMITATION TO VEHICLE ACCESS. IT ALSO SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS ISLAND PLAN WAS PUT IN PLACE IN NINETEEN NINETY FOUR. ONE OF THE APPLICANTS THAT ARE REQUESTING FOR ANNEXATION PURCHASED THE PROPERTY IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN. THEY WERE WELL AWARE THAT THE PIPELINE PLAN WAS PART OF THAT PURCHASE. IT WAS PART OF OUTLAND. FURTHERMORE FURTHERMORE THE THE ANNEXATION APPLICATION ALL OF THEM ARE VERY AWARE OF THE LIMITATIONS THAT THE GREATER PINE ISLAND PLAN PLACES ON ALL BUILDINGS WITHIN THAT PLAN. THE MAJOR STICKER TO THIS ONE IS THE HEIGHT LIMIT. THE HEIGHT LIMIT IS TO KEEP THE UNIQUE CHARACTER OF THE LAND THE AREA THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS THE GATEWAY TO PINE ISLAND. IT BEHOOVES YOU GUYS BECAUSE IT HAS A MONETARY VALUE WHEN IT COMES TO RENTALS AND HOTELS AND AND PEOPLE WANTING TO COME FISHING IT'S GOING TO AFFECT THE DEED TO A PART AND THE PART OF YOUR GUYS IS A PROPERTIES BY DOING CHANGES TO LARGE DEVELOPMENTS. IT'S GOING TO DESTROY WHAT YOU GUYS ARE TRYING TO PROFIT OFF OF THE APPLICANTS ARE ALSO USING THE ANNEX AGAIN I REITERATE AS A HUGE LOOPHOLE TO CIRCUMVENT THE PINE ISLAND PLAN WHICH GOVERNS THE PROPERTY IN WHICH THE LANDOWNERS KNEW AT THE TIME OF THE PURCHASE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU MADAM MCSWEENY I SPOKE EARLIER. ALL I WOULD LIKE TO UH DO RATHER THAN REPEAT MYSELF UM IS ALLOW MY ALLOWED THAT I'D BE ABLE TO SUBMIT THIS TO THE RECORD. THIS IS JUST WRITTEN TALK THAT I HAD GIVEN YOU BEFORE UM AN ADDITIONALLY AS A MEMBER OF THE GREATER PALM ISLAND CIVIC ASSOCIATION BOARD MEMBER I WOULD LIKE UH SOME KIND OF COMMUNICATION TO BE OPENED UP BETWEEN UH THE PERSON WHO WAS UH I DON'T KNOW YOUR NAME BUT SITTING RIGHT OVER HERE THAT WAS UH SPEAKING ABOUT THE UM ACCESS TO VETERANS AND CHANGING ROADWAY CONDITIONS THERE FOR TRAFFIC UM SO THAT WE COULD, UH ,KEEP SOME KIND OF A COMMUNICATIONS GOING ABOUT WHAT'S PROGRESSING AS FAR AS THAT GOES. OK, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. CITY CLERK I'LL TAKE THAT DOCUMENTATION FROM FOR THE RECORD MY NAME IS BEVERLY GRAVY WITH RUSSELL AND ANDREST REPRESENTING THE MATT LASCHET PINE ISLAND FIRE CONTROL DISTRICT AND I WOULD LIKE TO INCORPORATE MY LETTER OF MAY 18TH AND THE COMMENTS MADE IN A PRIOR ANNEXATION INTO THE RECORD HERE. UM, JUST JUST WANTED TO RESPOND . YES. THE FIRE DISTRICT IS CAPABLE OF SERVING THIS AREA AND I THINK ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO ASK IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PERCENTAGE OF CALLS THAT COME INTO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, WHAT PERCENTAGE OR EMS MEDICAL I WOULD SAY THEY ARE EIGHTY FIVE PERCENT OF THE DISTRICT AND I THINK IF YOU ASKED YOUR CHIEF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE VERY CLOSE TO THAT PERCENTAGE IF YOU LOOK AT EXHIBIT THREE TO MY LETTER, IT'S CRITICAL BECAUSE IT SHOWS THE LOCATION OF THOSE STATIONS FROM WHICH THE RESPONSE VEHICLES WILL COUNT. SO FOR LOOKING AT THE BULK OF THE CALLS THAT ARE MADE WHICH ARE MEDICAL IN THIS DAY AND AGE BEING NEXT DOOR TO A SERVICE PROVIDER MEANS SAVING LIVES COMPARED TO HAVING TO DRIVE MINUTES. I APPRECIATE THE CITY MANAGER'S COMMENTS OF WORKING WITH THE DISTRICT AND WE WOULD ACCEPT AND WANT TO WORK WITH THE DISTRICT. SO WHAT WE WOULD ASK IN LOOKING AT LIFE SAFETY WE BELIEVE THERE WAS A SERVICE PROVIDED BY A STATION NUMBER FOUR IN THE DISTRICT THAT'S NEXT DOOR TO THIS ANNEXATION THAT'S A BENEFIT TO THE PUBLIC THAT PROVIDES LIFE SAFETY AND WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO DO SO WHICH IS WHY WE REQUESTED REMOVAL OF FIRE SERVICES FROM SECTION FOUR ARE NOT OPPOSING THE ANNEXATION, JUST REQUESTING TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE A VITAL SERVICE THAT WILL HELP SAVE LIVES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MA'AM. ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK? SIR, IF I COULD JUST ADD ONE COMMENT AND I GET ONE OPPORTUNITY I'M SORRY.
