Quorum please commissioner gray here commissioner Ortiz here commissioner Stewart here commissioner Shan here commissioner Hill here commissioner Burns here mayor Dyer here mayor you have a quorum with all members present thank you madam clerk first order business will be consideration of minutes agenda review city council meeting and budget hearing from September 11 2023 motion by commissioner Hill second by commissioner Sheehan all in favor indicate so by saying aye aye those posts and so the motion carries we don't have any awards or presentations today so I'll go quickly right into the mayor's update and today is the holiest day of the Jewish year Yom Kippur so I want to wish those recognizing the holiday in our community a day of atonement filled with kindness and with blessings I want to invite everyone to join commissioner Ortiz and me and probably other Commissioners Wednesday night at 5 30 for the 17th annual Hispanic Heritage Month celebration at Amway Center there will be traditional Hispanic dishes Latin music entertainment as we celebrate the traditions and Rich history of our diverse Hispanic and Latino residents in our community also on that same day is the state of the downtown address and I'm happy to report that it's sold out so dop doesn't have any other tickets but if you want to attend and view it live or see an encore presentation you can go to orlando.gov state of downtown and one item I want to particularly note on the consent agenda agenda is item B3 which is our first step Staffing contract renewal and we as a community continue to respond on the complex issue of challenging homelessness and one of the ways that we have done so is partnering with the first step Staffing to help over 250 individuals to get employment a number of them in City departments one of those is Calvin Thomas who I had the opportunity to work with in Calvin learned about what first step went to the Christian service center which is where they have a office in parramore he found a position with our streets and storm water team collecting debris I went and helped him one day do that but he now is thriving he has an apartment on his own and was just recently hired as a full-time City employee so a great success story so I think this is one of those items that um is certainly a hand up rather than hand out so first step for another year okay with that we'll move on to the consent agenda and the consent agenda is a number of items that are acted upon through a a single vote of counsel we give each of our commissioners the opportunity to comment on the consent agenda or update you on important happenings from the district we rotate the order we do that today commissioner Burns is First Step all right thank you may die I have just a few um announcements on Sunday September the 17th our office partnered with Congressman Maxwell Frost for a prayer vigil for victims of gun violence Health uh in district 6 that six at Eagles Nest Park this

Greenwood Cemetery ghost hers it was a great thing last year American Ghost Adventures came and I know that they're accepting uh reservations for people to attend that um I've heard really great feedback on that so uh I think that's a great thing to do an over at Greenwood Cemetery also item B1 engineering service for Virginia Forest Karine are we did we ever think we'd get there Commissioners start but finally creeping towards actually getting something done in that in that Corridor that bedevils us with speeding and people crashing into houses and all kinds of foolishness so hopefully we can get that on a road diet and get that under control and get that to be a nice neighborhood amenity instead of a 75-foot Raceway right through the middle of a neighborhood so and I know it affects most of both of us it affects the kids who go to school at Audubon Park Elementary and we want to make sure we make it safer for everybody in that in that Corridor and I'm actually looking forward to being able to walk into your District commissioner without having to play whack-a-mole with the traffic you can always you can always walk in my district I love my walking your District

Farmers Market in Lake Eola has been a great amenity and like to like really enjoyed seeing what they're doing there and I just had one shout out I wanted to make to the parks department we had two crazy storms in hail over the last couple weeks they're even worse than I think hurricanes and brought down a lot of trees and Limbs and I just want to thank the parks department for getting out and addressing those and I know we had a lot of trees over roads and different things like that but they did an amazing job and just want to shout out and thanks thanks to them that's all I had mayor thank you thank you commissioner Sheen commissioner Hill thank you Mary down good afternoon everyone believe it or not I'll be brief also Kiki well um on Wednesday September 13th I joined mayor Dyer over at poppy Smashburger and mayor Dyer uh smashed two of those burgers and that was the best burger I've taste I'm still thinking about it I agree with you commissioner I could recommend poppy smash Pat poppy Smashburger and that is over at uh what was it 66 Pine East Pine Street here downtown so I recommend it highly um if the mayor says good you know it's good he's ate a few burgers around the

Friday September 29th Valencia College um has partnered with my office for a new program at their campus in District Five at 34-36 Deputy judge the program is uh going to be from 10 to 15 weeks and it's a culmination of different skills so that's great news coming from out of the Mercy Drive corner I along with this whole Council has made our stated earlier that we do know that there's some
