ALL IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
>> MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY,5-0.
MOVING ON TO THE REGULAR AGENDA TOWN ROUND-TABLE
[13. Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) amendments. [TAB 13]]
REPORT, THE EAR AMENDMENTS.MY NAME IS MARTIN SCHNEIDER, DEPARTMENT.
I'M GOING TO BE DISCUSSING AMENDMENTS BASED ON THAT.
THESE ARE ITEMS THAT ARE PART OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
I WANTED TO GIVE YOU A BACKGROUND ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
THE PLAN IS A LONG-TERM BIG-PICTURE PLAN FOR THE TOWN.
IT PROVIDES THE PRINCIPLES AND STRATEGIES TO GUIDE FUTURE DECISIONS IN THE TOWN AND DETAILED LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.
EACH LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN FLORIDA IS REQUIRED TO HAVE AND EACH ONE INCLUDES 10 ELEMENTS, AND SEVERAL OTHERS.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CAN BE UPDATED AT ANY TIME BY THE TOWN AMENDED THROUGH REQUESTS INITIATED BY THE PRIVATE SECTOR, APPROVED OR NOT APPROVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL.
THE EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT, THAT WILL MEAN EVALUATION APPRAISAL REPORT IS REQUIRED TO UPDATE PLAN ON A SEVEN-YEAR CYCLE SO EVERY MUNICIPALITY, STATE HAS TO GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS.
BASICALLY, THE VALUATION APPRAISAL REPORT REQUIRES THAT WITH HAPPENED WITHIN THAT SEVEN-YEAR PERIOD.
ANYTIME THE STATE UPDATES THEIR RULES WOULD BE REQUIRED.
THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE ENCOURAGED BUT NOT REQUIRED TO UPDATE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO REFLECT LOCAL CHANGES DURING THIS TIME.
BUT AGAIN, THAT'S NOT REQUIRED.
THE ONLY THING THAT'S REQUIRED IS THOSE STATE-MANDATED CHANGES.
THE TOWN DID THE FIRST STEP OF THIS.
THEY DID THE EAR NOTIFICATION LETTER WAS SENT TO ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY AND WAS ACKNOWLEDGED THEREFORE THE EAR-BASED AMENDMENTS MUST BE TRANSMITTED TO DEO BY THE
[00:20:04]
FOLLOWING YEAR, ONE THING THAT WE DID WAS REALLY THE ONLY REQUIREMENT THAT WE NEEDED TO DO TO MEET THAT ELEMENT THE TOWN IN JULY, SEPTEMBER 3RD.EARLIER, WE HAD DONE A SEA LEVEL RISE AND REQUIRED AROUND HAD WE NOT DONE IT, THEN WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO DO THAT AS PART OF THIS PROCESS.
IN MAY 3RD, ON THE EAR AND THESE WERE US TO LOOK INTO FURTHER.
WE'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THESE VARIOUS ITEMS AND EACH OF THEM COMING OUT.
THERE'S FOUR LARGE ITEMS THAT ARE NOT YOUR REQUIREMENTS LOOKING FOR SOME TOWN COUNCIL DIRECTION ON THE CONSERVATION, LAND USE APPROACH, WORKFORCE HOUSING, INTO SUPERMAJORITY VOTING.
WE'LL GO THROUGH THOSE FOUR LARGER, INPUT ON THEM, OF SLIDES ON MORE OF THE HOUSEKEEPING ONES, WE'LL GO THROUGH THOSE.
BUT I JUST WANTED TO GET YOUR INPUT ON THESE ITEMS. STAFF, THEY EVALUATED THE CONSERVATION RECREATION LANDS IN THERE'S ABOUT 20 PERCENT OF THOSE LANDS THAT ARE PRIVATELY OWNED.
WE'VE LOOKED AT THE GREENWAYS, THE BASIS TO FIND THESE NUMBERS.
THE GOLF COURSES WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE TOTALS THAT YOU SEE ON THIS PAGE.
ONE THING I WANTED TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO IS WERE GREATER THAN 10 ACRES.
OUT OF THOSE, THERE WAS CONSERVATION EASEMENT OR OTHER MEANS ONE HAS A CONSERVATION EASEMENT TO A PRIVATE ENTITY, BY THE POA AND ON THE PLANET WOULD SAY NATURAL AREAS OR COMMON AREAS, NO FURTHER PROTECTION ON THOSE.
BUT THE MAJORITY OF THEM HAVE EITHER A CONSERVATION EASEMENT THAT'S LIKE NORTHERN OR BY THE TOWN OR BY SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT.
>> BEFORE YOU GO ON, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THAT ON THE SLIDE BEFORE.
I HAVE SOME COMMENTS ON THIS SLIDE.
I WAS ONE OF THE ONES THAT WAS PUSHING FOR THIS.
I'M NOT SUGGESTING THEY MAY NOT HAVE BEEN OTHERS.
I THINK TOMATOES USED STRATEGICALLY IMPORTANT.
IT CAME UP, IT WASN'T IN OUR STRATEGIC PLAN BECAUSE WE ADDRESSED AS PART OF THE YEAR PROCESS.
I KNOW IN THE WRITE-UP, HAVE TO BE AND I'M GOING TO JUST PREFACE THAT.
I GET THERE MAYBE A JUDGMENT HERE, I JUST WANTED TO GIVE WANT IT TO LANGUISH IF IT DOESN'T GET DONE IN A YEAR.
I WOULDN'T EXPECT IT BRING IT TO THIS MEETING, LISTING OF THE PROPERTY TO DEGREE YOU'VE COUNTED IT, MAY BE INCLINED TO THINK THAT IMPORTANT TO US, THIS PAGE HERE.
I'D LIKE AGAIN, NOT TO BELIEVE THIS MEETING, AREAS.
THEN OTHER 183, I GET IT'S SMALL SCATTERED PROPERTIES, SEE IT LISTED IN STRATIFIED BY ACREAGE SIZE.
IS IT ONE AT NINE, EIGHT ACRES, IF YOU COULD DO THAT, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.
I WAS EXPECTING WE HAVE EVERYTHING IN THERE BECAUSE ALL MIXED JUICE.
QUITE HONESTLY, LET'S JUST GET IT OUT OF HERE RIGHT HERE IS THAT I'D LIKE TO
[00:25:02]
GET USE, MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT THAT.I'M GOING TO JUST SAY NOT JUST ONE ITEM AS AN EXAMPLE.
I'M JUST SUGGESTING THAT'S WHAT THIS ITEM WAS INTENDED TO BE.
WAS THAT ALREADY ON YOUR LIST HERE AS AN EXAMPLE?
I DON'T BELIEVE A BALLPARK WAS PART OF WHAT YOU'RE SEEING ON THIS ONE.
BUT FOR EXAMPLE, IN TALKING ABOUT THE PROPERTY, THAT WAS INTENDED TO ALWAYS TO BE A RECREATION USE.
AT THE VERY LEAST, WHY WOULDN'T WE WANT PUT SURE IT'S PRETTY CLEAR AS OPPOSED TO INTO THE FUTURE THEY CAN PUT ANYTHING MIXED USE ON THERE.
I'M JUST USING THAT AS AN EXAMPLE.
I KNOW WE HAVE TO HAVE DIALOGUE,
>> WHAT'S HIS CURRENT DESIGNATION?
>> I GOT THE COMPLAINT HERE BECAUSE ALL OF THAT BUT COAL IS MIXED USE.
>> I THOUGHT THAT WAS REFRESHING.
>> IT IS MIXED USE, SUB-DISTRICT OVER THERE.
>> THEN WE CAN PROVIDE THE LIST.
WE DO HAVE THE LIST IN A WEEKLY UPDATE.
>> YEAH, I WASN'T EXPECTING IT TONIGHT, AND WE'LL HAVE WHICH OF THE ITEMS. THIS POINT WAS TO TRY TO PUT AN EXTRA LAYER OF PROTECTION THAT THEN WILL BE BY THE SUPER MAJORITY PROVISIONS THAT SOMEBODY LATER ON CAN'T.
I MEAN, WE SEE EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE SOMEBODY THINKS THAT SOMETHING DEVELOPMENT ORDER FOR CONSERVATION, THAT.
THAT'S WHY WE THOUGHT TO TAKE A SEPARATE APPROACH TO DO THAT, OF THESE PROPERTIES, [OVERLAPPING] DONE A GREAT JOB.
JUST GET US THE LIST SO WE CAN JUST WAY IN.
THEN I THINK WE PROBABLY COULD COME TO IMPORTANT.
>> I IMAGINE THERE'S SOME NUANCE THERE WITH THE APPROACH WITH PROPERTY THAT WE NEED TO FULLY UNDERSTAND.
>> THE DATA THAT WE WERE USING, NOT LEGAL DESCRIPTIONS.
WE'RE BASING MOST OF THIS THAT WE STARTED WITH THE FROM THE GREENWAYS MAP.
SO NOT EVERY ONE OF THOSE IS A LEGALLY DESCRIBED, SOME OF IT IS AN OUTLINE OF AN AREA THAT WE KNOW IS.
>> THAT'S ONE CAVEAT ABOUT THAT DATA, BUT WE DO HAVE THAT.
>> BUT TAKE FOR EXAMPLE, YOU'VE GOT 183 AREAS, 293.
I IMAGINE THERE'S GOING TO BE A HANDFUL THAT WE MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN.
>> SOME OF THEM MIGHT WANT TOGETHER LIKE TOGETHER.
[OVERLAPPING] WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
WE'RE NOT LET ME GET DOWN INTO THE MINUTIA, PIECE OF TO PUT ADDED PROTECTIONS ON IT.
WE CAN QUICKLY PAIR THIS LIST DOWN.
WE MAY WIND UP GOING FROM YOU GOT 193 PROPERTIES HERE, AREAS.
WE MAY PICK 10 OR SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO HAVE FURTHER CONVERSATION ABOUT.
>> WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK AND TALK ABOUT A LOT OF DIFFERENT ASPECTS IS UNDERSTANDING THAT RIGHT NOW THIS IS JUST SORT OF THE MEAT, HAS TO GO FORWARD AND TO [OVERLAPPING] I WAS I WAS GIVEN THE OPINION THAT I DON'T WANT ROAD A YEAR OR TWO YEARS LATER OR SO.
I'VE BEEN ANXIOUSLY WAITING FOR THE ASSIGNMENT TO COME WE PUT IT ON THE TABLE IN MAY THAT THIS IS JUST COME BACK.
>> MY GUESS WOULD BE THERE'S CONSENSUS HERE ON THAT ITEM.
I DON'T BELIEVE BASED ON WHAT I'M READING, HAVE IT AS PART OF THE YEAR AMENDMENTS, OUTSIDE OF THAT PROCESS.
MOST COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ON THEM I UNDERSTAND GO THROUGH THE EXPEDITED PROCESS.
THIS IS I MEAN, HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS IS MY UNDERSTANDING, THERE ARE WAYS TO DO THAT, ESPECIALLY LOOKING AT STRATEGIC PLANNING OR OTHER ITEMS.
>> BUT AGAIN, WITH LEAST MAKE PROGRESS ON OF PROPERTY THAT WE ARE INTERESTED IN TALKING FURTHER ABOUT.
>> THE LIST OF PROPERTIES, THE ACREAGE, PROPERTY.
[00:30:01]
IS THAT HUGE LOOK FOR STAFF?>> SHOULD BE SMALLER SIZES WE'RE NOT GOING TO WORRY ABOUT, HAVE TWO DOZEN SIZE, NOT TO BELABOR IT IS YOU MADE NOT INCLUDED IN TOTAL.
>> WELL, THIS TABLE WAS JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE OUT THERE.
THESE ARE BASED ON THE GREENWAYS PLAN.
THE GREENWAYS PLAN WOULDN'T NECESSARILY SHOW THE GOLF CART AS PART OF OUR GREENWAYS.
THAT'S WHY THOSE AREN'T IN THERE, PRIORITY AREAS, AS A SEPARATE PROCESS AND LOOK AT INTEREST TO THE COUNCIL.
THESE CONSERVATION AREAS MAY BE OR MAY NOT BE.
BUT TO BREAK IT DOWN, UNDERTAKING.
WE DO HAVE THE BASIC SPREADSHEET, GOT TO VERIFY, THAT OF THESE PROPERTIES AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
BUT WE CAN PROVIDE YOU THE RAW DATA, HOLD UP THROUGH THAT.
IT ALSO WOULD ALLOW, IF YOU KNOW 1, 2, HEY, SMALLER ONES, THOSE DOWN THE ROAD.
SEEMS LIKE YOU'VE DONE A LOT OF THE WORK, I THINK WE CAN CONVERT PRETTY QUICKLY IF YOU GET THAT TO US.
>> I DO THINK IT'S WISE TO CONSIDER GOLF COURSES.
WORST-CASE SCENARIO SHOULD A GOLF COURSE FAIL, POTENTIALLY.
I DON'T THINK ANYONE'S SIGNS UP.
FIRST OF ALL, I'D PROBABLY IMPACT PROPERTY VALUES AND NO ONE SIGNS UP TO WHATEVER MIGHT BE COMING NEXT WHEN THEY WERE PLANNING A GOLF COURSE.
I'VE HEARD OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS LOOKING AT BUFFERS, LOOKING AT REZONING.
THERE ARE A LOT OF PROTECTIONS AND WAYS TO GET AHEAD OF THAT.
I DO THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA TO INCLUDE IT.
I'M SURE YOU KNOW ONE GOLF COURSE COMES TO MIND THAT WAS IN THAT IT WAS FOREVERMORE DEVELOPED AS RESIDENTIAL.
THOSE ARE THE ONES I WANTED, LET'S LOOK AT THE LIST.
I'M GOING TO PRIORITIZE THAT ONE FOR EXAMPLE TO BE ADDRESSED SOMEHOW.
I'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM.
THE NEXT ITEM IS WORKFORCE HOUSING.
LACK OF HOUSING OPTIONS AVAILABLE FOR ESSENTIAL WORKERS IS CONCERN ACROSS THE NATION STATE AND PALM BEACH COUNTY.
THE STATE HAS TRIED TO ADDRESS AFFORDABILITY ISSUES GOING 1990S, WITH LIMITED SUCCESS.
THE COUNTY RECENTLY PLACED THE BOND ISSUE ON THE BALLOT TO ADDRESS WORKFORCE HOUSING 55 PERCENT OF THE VOTE.
THE STATE HOUSING ELEMENT AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING RULES GIVE WHAT THE TOWN'S ELEMENTS SHOULD INCLUDE, CREATION AND PRESERVATION OF FUTURE RESIDENTS OF THE JURISDICTION.
THE TOWN HAS A WORKFORCE HOUSING PROGRAM CURRENTLY, BASICALLY MADE UP OF THREE PARTS; WORKFORCE HOUSING, INCENTIVES.
WE'RE LOOKING ON DIRECTION FOR THAT.
AGAIN, THIS DOES NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE PART OF YOUR PROCESS, THINK THERE'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THESE ISSUES.
THE TOWN ALSO HAS A HOUSING TRUST FUND, FUNDS, MONEY FOR PROVIDING HOUSING.
THERE ARE DIFFERENT APPROACHES THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED CONSTRUCTING NEW HOUSES, CONSTRUCT HOUSES, EXISTING HOUSES, ETC.
ADVANTAGES AND CHALLENGES, ROUNDTABLE IF THE COUNCIL SO DESIRES TO GO HAS BEEN COLLECTED SO FAR.
[00:35:02]
>> BY THE WAY, ON THAT ONE, UPDATE MANY MONTHS BACK, WE NEED TO DISCUSS IT BECAUSE WE SET UP THE PROCESS TO COLLECT, WE'VE NEVER AS A COUNCIL, ROUNDTABLE IS CERTAINLY AN ORDER.
I DON'T HAVE ANY PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS OF HOW WE SHOULD THE FACT THAT WE'RE COLLECTING IT FOR SOME PURPOSE ROUNDTABLE THAT TO THE SIDE AND I WOULD SUGGESTIONS, IF YOU WILL.
TWO-AND-A-HALF MILLION DOLLARS IS NOT A LOT OF MONEY.
IT'S A LOT OF MONEY IF AN INDIVIDUAL HAD IT, IT, SO CURIOUS.
>> I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THAT.
I THINK IN THE CITIZEN SURVEY AFFORDABLE HOUSING WAS A MAJOR ITEM.
IT COULD BE HELPFUL IN A ROUNDTABLE TO NOT ONLY DISCUSS SOME OF THESE CHALLENGES, CURRENT WORKFORCE HOUSING PROGRAM IN SCOPE OF THAT DISCUSSION WOULD BE.
I'D BE CURIOUS, WE'VE DISCUSSED ADUS, ACTUALLY DISCUSS THAT IN UNCLEAR.
I WAS LOOKING AS I WAS RESEARCHING JUST WHAT WOULD MAKE GIVEN HOW SENSITIVE THEY ARE.
MIAMI CAME UP WITH A MEMO JUST RECENTLY AND THEY HAD A NUMBER OF HELPED REDUCE THE IMPACT OF THEM IN SINGLE-FAMILY ZONES.
JUST FROM MAINTAINING THE SETBACKS, RECREATION VEHICLES AS BEING AN ACCESSORY UNIT.
JUST A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT WERE INTERESTING.
LOOKING AT HOW TO REGULATE IT, SOMETHING THAT RESIDENTS WANT TO LEARN ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST AND AS WELL AS ADDRESSING SOME OF THESE ISSUES.
SOME CONCERNS TOO, THESE FEES FOR HOUSING TRUST FUNDS AND SO, IT WOULD BE GOOD TO DISCUSS THAT.
>> DIDN'T WE YEARS AGO, WORKFORCE HOUSING TRUST FUND TO REHAB AN OUTSIDE AGENCY THE OPERATION AND COLLECTED THE RENTS?
>> WE HAD CONTEMPLATED USING IT FOR REHAB, IT'S WITH COMMUNITY LAND TRUST.
BECAUSE YOU PAY FOR EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT BE TO WORK, REDO IT, LAND, THERE'S ALWAYS PROBLEMS THAT YOU RUN INTO.
WHEN TALKING WITH THE CLTS ENDS UP COSTING MORE THAN BUILDING NEW, WANTED TO GET SOME SUCCESSES FIRST OUR NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAMS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
>> WE NEVER PURCHASE ANY LAND, HAD THE HOUSE BUILT, PURCHASED THE HOME AND THEN WHEN THEY SOLD IT, WE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT A WHILE AGO.
>> YES, WE HAD TALKED ABOUT USING HAVE SHARED EQUITY SEPARATED AND THE COMMUNITY HOMEOWNER ACTUALLY PAYS.
THAT'S HOW YOU GET THE REDUCTION IN COST BECAUSE THEY JUST OWN THE HOUSE.
THERE'S LOTS OF WAYS THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT THOSE THINGS AND I'M THOSE THINGS WITH YOU AND BRINGING THE COMMUNITY LAND TRUST.
>> IS THAT A SUCCESSFUL MODEL AROUND THE AREA OF THE COUNTRY?
>> IT HAS BEEN MORE SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE THE OTHER PART IS THAT AS GOVERNMENT, IN THE HOUSING REALM.
A LOT OF TIMES IT'S GOOD TO GET THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THIRD PERSON,
>> WE SET UP THE REGULATION TO COLLECT THE FUNDS.
NOW WE HAVE TWO-AND-A-HALF MILLION DOLLARS, WAYS YOU COULD SPEND IT, NEVER REALLY FINALIZED DECISION ON HOW WE COULD
[00:40:03]
TO THE COUNCIL TO SET THAT.IT WILL SIT THERE AND GROW UNTIL USED FOR.
BUT THAT'S WHY YOU REMEMBER WE HAD CONVERSATIONS BUT WE DECISION RESPOND.
>> WE'LL BE HAPPY TO BRING THAT BACK.
>> I THINK A ROUNDTABLE WOULD BE GOOD.
>> MAYBE IT'S TIME TO DO SOMETHING.
>> ANOTHER TOOL FOR THE HOUSING IS THE NON-RESIDENTIAL LINKAGE FEE, OR INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS TO THE NEXT IS BETWEEN BUILDING THESE NON-RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS AND MONEY FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING IS THAT YOU'RE CREATING THAT MAY FIND IT DIFFICULT TO LIVE IN THE AREA, NON-RESIDENTIAL LINKAGE FEE.
THE LINKAGE FEE POLICY IN OUR COMP PLAN SAYS THAT DURING THE YEAR PROCESS.
THE MAIN THING IS WHETHER THE AMOUNT SHOULD CHANGE OR NOT.
CURRENTLY WE'VE COLLECTED 274,000 THROUGH THE LINKAGE FEES.
IT'S PART OF THAT SAME TRUST FUND AS WHERE WE HAVE THE OTHER MONEY COMING FROM RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION AND OTHER FUNDS THAT WENT INTO THAT.
IT'S $1 FOR EVERY SQUARE FOOT OVER 10,000 SQUARE FOOT OF GROSS AREA.
THE QUESTION WOULD BE, SHOULD THAT BE INCREASED, CHANGED? WE WILL RECOMMEND HIRING AN EXPERT TO PROVIDE TRUE COSTS WOULD BE.
CURRENTLY, THE FEE IS NOMINAL, COST WAS SETUP.
AGAIN, THAT COULD BE PART OF A WORKFORCE WHAT OR IT TO IT SHOULD BE SET AT.
ONE THING ABOUT THE NEXUS STUDY, IT BASICALLY ALMOST SETS THE CAP LIKE YOU WOULD DO WITH THE MILITARY.
IT SAYS THIS IS HOW MUCH IT COULD BE WORTH, THAT.
BUT IT'S JUST TO JUSTIFY THE CHARGE FOR THE LINKAGE FEE.
>> COULD YOU GIVE US WHAT THE GARDENS CAME UP WITH, BEFORE YOU HIRE AN EXPERT.
>> LIKE I SAID, OURS IS $1 PER SQUARE FOOT AND THEY CAME UP WITH, INDUSTRIAL WAS LIKE $10 PER SQUARE FOOT.
IT'S ONE OF THESE MANY SHEETS IN FRONT OF ME.
THEY CAME UP WITH INDUSTRIAL LAND WOULD BE $10.30 PER SQUARE FOOT.
COMMERCIAL LAND WOULD BE $19.06 PER SQUARE FOOT.
OFFICE LAND WOULD BE $6 PER SQUARE FOOT.
AGAIN, THEY SET THE CAP THERE AND THEN THEY DIDN'T GO THAT HIGH.
>> WHY WOULD OURS BE ANY DIFFERENT THAN THE GARDENS.
>> I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY DID THIS LINKAGE FEE STUDY.
>> WE WILL BE HAPPY TO BRING THOSE THINGS BACK FOR YOU.
>> IT'S PART OF THE ROUNDTABLE.
>> YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT HIRING AN EXPERT, AN EXPERT.
WE'RE SIMILAR COMMUNITY IN THE GARDEN, IF THEIRS IS MORE RELATIVELY RECENT.
>> THEIRS IS MORE RECENT, LINKAGE FEES IN THE STATE.
>> JUST TO CONFIRM, YOU WANT IN THE AIR AMENDMENTS WITH ITS DEADLINE?
IT JUST SAYS IT SHOULD BE EVALUATED AS PART OF THIS PROCESS.
WE DON'T NEED TO, IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT OF THE STATE.
IT'S JUST THE OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE CHANGE IN THE VALUE.
THE MANDATORY WORKFORCE HOUSING PROGRAM, HOUSING PROGRAM.
SO WE'RE RECOMMENDING THAT WE REFERENCE OFFSET COMP PLAN POLICY.
AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS THE STATE HAS A RULE
[00:45:04]
HOUSING IS FULLY OFFSET ALL THE COSTS OF DEVELOPERS.SO WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO SHOW ADVANTAGE OF.
AND TO EXCEED YOUR COSTS OF WHAT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN FOR THE INCLUSIONARY HOUSING.
>> I'M SORRY, I'M NOT EVEN SURE I'M EVEN UNDERSTANDING THAT ONE, EVERYBODY ELSE IS.
>> AGAIN, WE CAN BRING IT BACK AND WORK SHOP AT WITH YOU.
>> IS IT INCLUDED OR ITS NOT INCLUDED IN THE EAR?
>> WE WOULD INCLUDE IT IN THE EAR TO MAKE THAT LINK.
THERE'S ALREADY AN ALLOWANCE FOR PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT.
SO THAT IN ITSELF, ADDITIONAL DENSITY, PROVIDE THE INCENTIVES FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING.
>> I WAS WONDERING WHAT THE WORD OFFSET MEANT THERE.
SO IF YOU ALREADY HAVE PUD DENSITY BONUS UNITS,
>> IT MEANS TO ALLOW FOR THE COST THAT THE DEVELOPER WILL HAVE TO INCUR TO PROVIDE THAT.
THAT YOU PROVIDE AN INCENTIVE LIKE INCREASED DENSITY TO OFFSET THEIR COSTS, PROVIDING THAT WORKFORCE HOUSING UNIT.
>> AND THAT'S FLORIDA STATUTE, RIGHT?
>> IT'S IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE CODE.
>> ITS CHAPTER 166 OF THE STATUTE.
>> SO THIS IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO DO, ITS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
BUT AGAIN, ROUNDTABLE TO GET INTO MORE OF THE SPECIFICS.
BUT THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO COVER AS PART OF THE EAR.
>> WELL, I'LL ADDRESS LATER I HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT PARTS OF THE COMP PLAN THAT TALK ABOUT DENSITIES.
SO I JUST WANT TO PARK THAT FOR A MINUTE AND I'LL COME BACK TO IT.
>> AND IF THE DEVELOPER DIDN'T WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT, PAY A FEE TO A WORKFORCE HOUSING FUND AT THE TOWN?
UNLESS YOU ARE INCREASING YOUR ZONING OR YOUR LAND USE.
BUT IF YOU ARE BUILDING AT THAT, INCREASING IT, PAY OUT INTO A PAY IN LIEU OF.
BUT IF YOU ARE INCREASING YOUR LAND USE INTENSITY, THEN YOU HAVE TO DO A CERTAIN AMOUNT.
>> EITHER BUILD IT OFFSITE OR OR BUILDING ONSITE.
>> TAKE A LOOK AT HOW MUCH HOW OFTEN SOMEBODY JUST BUYS OUT.
THAT MEANS IT'S REALLY NOT A GOOD DEAL FOR THE GOVERNMENT.
WE REALLY LIKE TO HAVE IT WHERE YOU HOPE SOME OF THEM JUST DO IT.
IT HAS BEEN ONE THAT HAS DONE IT.
I THINK SOME UNITS ARE BEING BUILT IN LIMESTONE QUAKE OR SOMETHING.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT YOU'D PREFER.
SOMEONE'S ACTUALLY DELIVERING RENTAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNIT..
OTHERWISE, IT MAKES THIS WHOLE SYSTEM CUMBERSOME PLAN TO GET IT DONE RIGHT.
WE'RE NOT BUILDERS IN THE HOUSING BUSINESS.
>> IT GETS COMPLICATED DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT.
I WAS TALKING TO THE STAFF ABOUT THAT EARLIER TODAY AND SOME TO BE DISCUSSED.
>> AND THEN QUICKLY, THE THIRD TYPE OF WORKFORCE HOUSING IS THE INCENTIVES.
INCENTIVE DRIVEN INSTEAD OF THE INCLUSIONARY.
AND THAT PROGRAM, IT WORKED WELL WITH FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN DENSITY, WORKFORCE HOUSING.
THAT'S OUR BIGGEST PROJECT SO FAR FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING.
SO NEXT, WE'RE GOING TO JUST BRIEFLY TOUCH ON THINK THIS CAN BE FOLDED INTO THE STATE IS ENCOURAGING ADUS AS A WAY TO INCREASE AVAILABILITY OF HOUSING AND IT'S NOT A REQUIRED PART OF THE EAR-BASED AMENDMENT, AGAIN, WE THINK IT CAN BE FOLDED INTO WORKFORCE HOUSING.
AND I CAN GIVE YOU DETAILS ON WHAT AD, NOT JUMP TO THE ABBREVIATION.
BUT I THINK THAT'S A BETTER CONVERSATION FOR LATER BECAUSE WE'VE GOT TO THE ITEMS THAT ARE REQUIRED BY THE EAR.
SO UNLESS THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE, I'LL JUMP AHEAD.
NOT TO BELABOR IT, WE HAVE MIXED USE NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE IN ABACOA
[00:50:04]
SOMETHING THAT WAS PART OF THE DRI AND PEOPLE ACCOMMODATIONS IN ABACOA TO SOME DEGREE LEND OF PARKING THAT IS FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE TAKE.BUT YOU GET IN A TRADITIONAL SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD, EXAMPLE DOESN'T ALLOW A RENTAL UNIT.
AND YET YOU ARE SOMEWHERE AROUND TOWN AND THEY REALLY DO PARKING AND OTHER ISSUES.
I JUST SAY I'M JUST AWARE OF THAT.
SO, WHERE AN ADU IS ALLOWED IS SIGNIFICANT.
SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M WEIGHING IN, BOARD, I'M NOT SUGGESTING YOU WERE RIGHT.
I KNOW IT HAS TO BE A NEIGHBORHOOD BY NEIGHBORHOOD, IT FIT?
>> I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE PART OF A LARGER DISCUSSION BECAUSE THERE ISSUES ASSESSMENT.
>> IT HAS TO BE THOUGHTFUL, OF REGULATIONS THAT PEOPLE HAVE CONSIDERED IN LIKE AND THIRD OFFENSES.
IF YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT VIOLATIONS OR ENFORCEMENT, REQUIRED TO BE ON THE SIDE OR IN THE REAR TO KEEP ANNUALLY RENEWABLE CU FOR ACCESSORY UNITS.
SO I'M REALLY CURIOUS ABOUT THE NUANCE HERE BECAUSE THERE'S AND POTENTIALLY SOME OPPORTUNITY IN LIMITED AREAS AROUND TOWN.
>> ALSO WE HAVE ALL THE HOAS WITH THEIR OWN RULES AND RESTRICTIONS.
SO WE HAVE TO BE VERY MINDFUL OF THAT.
>> SO WE'RE ASKED TO TAKE A LOOK AT SUPER MAJORITY VOTING THAT WOULD REQUIRE MINIMUM VOTE OF FOUR COUNCIL MEMBERS IN OUR OWN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS OF NOW, CHANGES TO OVERLAY TO NOT BE CONVERTED TO RETAIL OR FAVOR OF IT.
PALM BEACH COUNTY HAS USES IT IN THREE SPECIFIC AREAS.
ONE IS TO PROTECT RURAL ENCLAVES, OWN LANDS.
AND ANOTHER IS TO CHANGE THE AMOUNT OF TIMES PER FUTURE LAND USE AMENDMENTS.
SO WE JUST WANTED TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY SPECIFIC CHANGES IN DIFFERENT ELEMENTS THAT INTERESTED IN REQUIRING SUPER MAJORITY VOTING FOR.
>> COUPLED WITH THE OTHER ITEM, MAJORITY VOTES FOR CHANGES IN LAND USE, INCLUDING CONSERVATION RECREATION.
FROM BECAUSE THE FIRST TIME WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IS MAKING SURE THINGS THAT CLEARLY PROTECTED, WANT TO FURTHER PROTECT BE AT LEAST A SUPER MAJORITY.
OTHERWISE, WE HAVEN'T ACHIEVED ANYTHING.
ANY OTHERS ON THAT ONE? THAT WAS THE ONE I ALSO THOUGHT WAS THE RIGHT APPROACH.
>> THAT WAS THE ONE WE DISCUSSED IN MAY.
>> NOW WE'RE MOVING ON TO THE LESS COMPLEX ITEMS THAT STAFF INCLUDED IN THE YEAR BASED AMENDMENTS.
ONE IS CHANGES SUPPORTING THE STRATEGIC PRIORITY OF THE SEAGRASS PROTECTION.
WE WOULD LIKE TO REVIEW AND AMEND CONSERVATION AND COASTAL ELEMENTS SEAGRASS PROTECTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY.
ADD SOME ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE ABOUT SHORELINE ENHANCEMENTS AND THEN TRY TO LINK THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT, INDUSTRIES, STRENGTHEN THOSE POLICIES.
THE OTHER ONE IS TO ADDRESS AND INVESTIGATE SUSTAINABILITY PLAN.
WE HAVE A POLICY 1.10.2 WHICH RELATES TO GREEN BUILDING.
THE SECOND BULLET ON THIS SLIDE, CERTIFICATION.
THE POLICY HAD SAID THAT THE TOWNS SHOULD SEEK TO GO TO A GOLD LEVEL
[00:55:07]
CERTIFICATION, TOWN COUNCIL DIDN'T SEE THE VALUE IN IMPLEMENTING A TRUE SUSTAINABILITY PLAN.WE WOULD AMEND THIS POLICY SAY TO MAINTAIN SUSTAINABILITY PLAN.
IN MY UNDERSTANDING IS, SUSTAINABILITY PLAN THAT'S CURRENTLY UNDERWAY, THAT EFFORT.
COULD YOU JUST GO BACK ONE? BECAUSE IT JUST MAYBE WITH MY MIND WORKS.
BUT WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY AND I'M NOT SURE EVERYBODY A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE WHAT THAT EVEN MEANS, COASTAL ELEMENT, EXPERIENCED, LOT MORE AWARE OF SEA LEVEL AND ITS IMPLICATION TO NO NEIGHBORS THAT COMING UP ON YOUR PROPERTY.
I DON'T KNOW WE CAN ADDRESS THIS.
BUT AT SOME POINT TIME AS A GOVERNMENT, ABOUT IT BECAUSE QUITE FRANKLY, TO ACCEPT.
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
NOW BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE ALWAYS TRYING TO FOR EXAMPLE, WATER PROJECTS, DO SOMETHING, SOMEWHERE ALONG WITH WHERE IS IT PRACTICAL VERSUS NOT.
>> THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE COASTAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES.
WE TALK ABOUT DIRECTING DEVELOPMENT AWAY FROM THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREAS TO HAVE A THINGS THERE TO HELP REDUCE THE FLOODING.
I THINK INLAND FLOODING IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT AND SEE IF COMP PLAN REALLY ADDRESSES THAT AND STRENGTHENS THAT.
THE OTHER THING THAT WE THINK WE HAVE TO WATCH OUT DEVELOPMENT AND SOME OF WE AREA WHERE YOU HAVE AN URBAN RIVER.
THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF THE FLOODING TAKES PLACE ON WATER DOESN'T HAVE ANY PLACE TO GO, I THINK THIS WHOLE TOPIC IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO MAKE.
I WAS REFERRING TO JUST THE COASTAL PIECE.
BUT MAYBE THERE ARE COASTAL AREAS THAT WERE LEAD TO INLAND FLOODING AND OTHER AREAS.
[OVERLAPPING] THERE'S NO PROTECTIONS GOING TO EXACERBATE ALL THAT.
>> ARE YOU TALKING SEAWALL HEIGHT OR [OVERLAPPING] DOESN'T DO ANY GOOD.
AT SOME POINT IN TIME IT DOESN'T DO ANY GOOD.
>> BECAUSE IT'S THE FINISHED FLOOR ELEVATIONS ARE SUCH.
IF THE I HAD PASSED TO THE SOUTH OF JUPITER, BECAUSE, PASSED TO THE NORTH, THAT WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE BEEN FLOODED WEREN'T.
BUT I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT DIRECTLY ON THE COAST.
THEN THERE'S THE ISSUE AS COUNSELOR SNYDER TALKED MORE INTERIOR, IF YOU WILL.
THOSE CAN BE INTERRELATED BUT THEY ALSO ARE SEPARATE.
ONLY BECAUSE YOU HAD LISTED REVIEW CONSERVATION AND COASTAL ELEMENTS, KNOW WHETHER I HAVE THE COMPLAIN HERE, THAT'S WHAT THE THERE AIR PROCESSES, WOULD ADDRESS THAT RIGHT?
>> I THINK MAYOR, WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS UNDERTAKING A VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT.
THAT'S WHAT THE FLOODPLAIN MANAGERS TALK ABOUT OUR LOW LYING, ELEVATION, MOST VULNERABLE TO SEA LEVEL RISE.
NOAH ACTUALLY HAS PROGRAMS WHERE THEY SHOW THAT AND WITH YOUR INPUT.
>> I GUARANTEE YOU THAT THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THAT, VULNERABLE BECAUSE THEY'RE WATCHING IT.
>> IN THIS TIME OF YEAR WITH THE KING TIDES AND THE RIVERS, STORM HASN'T REALLY GONE TO FULL LOW TIDE, GET A SURGE AND IT JUST PUSHES IT RIGHT BACK.
IT CAN GO FURTHER IN BECAUSE IT'S A RIVER, AT SOME POINT YOU'RE OVERWHELMED.
YOU NEED TO KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO BE OVERWHELMED TO EVACUATE.
BUT AT SOME POINT THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH YOU CAN DO, CORRECT?
WE HAVE TO COME TO GRIPS WITH THAT.
WE CAN DO SOMETHING IN THE END.
[01:00:01]
SOME OF THOSE ARE JUST GOING TO EVENTUALLY HAVE TO BE ELEVATED.>> ONE OTHER HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS IS TO REMOVE OUR FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT POLICY 1.13.5, ZONING DISTRICT.
AND I THINK THAT WAS PUT IN PLACE ABOUT 2019 OR SO OR EVEN EARLIER.
BUT AT THAT TIME THERE WAS SOME PROJECTS THAT WERE RELYING ON THAT CONCEPT, FORWARD, JUST SAT THERE.
IT'S NOT REQUIRED TO HAVE IT IN THERE AND WE ISSUE IF IT'S A PRIORITY IN TOWN, THE COMP PLAN AND AND DEADLINE ON THAT.
THEN THERE'S THE RECREATION ELEMENT STANDARDS.
MOST OF THEM WOULD STAY THE SAME.
THEY WERE EVALUATED BY THE RECREATION DIRECTOR.
BUT THERE'S A COUPLE NEW OR CHANGES.
ONE IS PICKLEBALL, WHICH IS A BIG MOVEMENT NATIONWIDE OR WORLDWIDE.
WE CREATED A LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARD FOR THOSE SO THAT WE CAN AND THEY'RE VERY POPULAR ESPECIALLY WITH 55 AND OLDER.
ALSO NOTICE A REDUCTION IN THE USE OF THE ROLLER HOCKEY RINKS, LEVEL OF SERVICE AND THEN RINKS.
>> BY THE WAY, HOW MANY PICKLEBALL COURTS DO WE HAVE RIGHT NOW?
>> NOT FINDING FAULT, BUT WE'VE BEEN THERE, DONE THIS BEFORE.
WE SHOULD NEVER BE CONSIDERING A CHANGE WITHOUT KNOWING THE IMPLICATION OF IT.
I KNOW WE'VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT IT BEING ASKED FOR A LONG TIME.
I WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY WE HAVE NOW, FRANKLY, JUST TO CHANGE A NUMBER, ACCOMMODATE IT.
>> I THOUGHT WE HAD ALREADY VOTED TO [OVERLAPPING]
>> THAT'S WHY THEY'RE MAKING THIS CHANGE.
BUT THAT'S DIFFERENT FROM PUTTING IN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE BE A DEMAND FOR THAT, BEFORE YOU SEND IT, YOU CAN MEET IT.
>> THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE ANALYSIS THAT COMES TO RECREATION [OVERLAPPING] TO I KNOW THIS IS A ROUNDTABLE SUMMARY LEVEL, IF IT TURNS OUT WE ONLY HAD TWO IN THE TOWN, 30,000, [NOISE] WHEN WE SET THE ONE FOR FOUR, WE CAN ACHIEVE IT.
>> HOW MANY DID WE BUILD ON THAT ROLLER HOCKEY RINK?
>> THEY'LL GET BACK WITH US ON THAT.
I THINK LEVEL OF SERVICE, VERY SERIOUSLY.
WE WANT TO JUST MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND THE IMPLICATIONS OF A NUMBER.
[BACKGROUND] CONVERTING ROLLER HOCKEY RINGS TO PICKER BOARDS, COMPLAINTS COMING IN THAT WE'RE NOW LOSING ROLLER HOCKEY SPACE.
>> WE MAKE SURE THAT THAT LEVEL OF ANALYSIS IS PROVIDED, THE SIMPLIFICATIONS ARE AND THE FINANCIAL THAT'S PROPOSED.
I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT JUST TO NOTE THROUGH THAT ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT TO BE BRING PLAN, STARTED AND INITIATED THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO THAT NUMBER FROM ONE FOR 4,000 TO ONE FOR 8,000 OR WHATEVER.
WE WILL GIVE YOU THE ANALYSIS BEHIND IT AND THEN LET YOU THE FINAL DETERMINATION OF WHAT THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL IS.
BUT ANY OF THESE ISSUES IS JUST REALLY IMPORTANT THAT ITEMS, ELEMENTS.
>> POLICIES UP FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
>> NO, WE APPRECIATE YOU GOT IT FLAGGED AND WE KNOW WHAT NUMBER HAS TO BE ESTABLISHED, THE CIP TO ACHIEVE IT.
[01:05:03]
>> JUST FOR THOSE HERE THAT DIDN'T KNOW OF THE YEARS WHEN YOU THINGS AT ONE TIME WE HAD COMMUNITY CENTER, RATIONALIZATION THAT, MEAN, THROUGH THIS, SO WE'D TAKE INTO ACCOUNT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ADDRESSING IT AGAIN.
IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS AND WE'RE ON LEVEL OF SERVICE, CIP BUDGET, IF WE DON'T HAVE IT.
YOU CAN MAKE A GOAL AS AN INTERIM.
>> I THINK FOR COMMUNITY CENTER,
>> WHATEVER IT IS, BUT WE ADJUSTED CENTER.
IT STARTED OUT, IT WAS JUST A COMMUNITY CENTER.
>> THEN THE LAST UPDATE ITEM IS TO ADD VISION ZERO.
VISION ZERO WAS APPROVED BY RESOLUTION IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR.
IT ADOPTS THE VISION ZERO'S POLICY FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY IN THE TOWN AND DIRECTS ON BY A POLICY IN THE COMP PLAN.
>> CAN I ASK ON THAT ONE OR NOT REALLY THAT ONE, TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT, ELEMENT, REGARDING TRI-RAIL STATION? DO WE?
>> IF WE DID, THE OTHER POINT IS IF WE DID THEN I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE NEWER MEMBERS, ONETIME POTENTIAL FOR TRI-RAIL STATION,
>> THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE IS A MAP THAT SHOWS THE POTENTIAL TRI-RAIL STATIONS.
>> I DO BELIEVE THAT IT'S WORTHWHILE IF WE'RE ADJUSTING THIS TO COUNSEL DIFFERENT COUNCIL RATES.
>> WILL BRING THAT TO YOUR ATTENTION.
>> BECAUSE IN SOME POINT IN TIME JUST TO THE COUNCIL NOTICE IS LIKE IF IT'S IN THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AGENCY.
IT'S THE GUIDELINE, POLICY OF THIS COUNCIL, LET'S MAKEUP.
THAT WAS THE LAST ITEM THAT I HAD WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT SO WE WILL FOLLOW UP WITH RECOMMENDING IN SPRING AND THEN GET YOUR INPUT ON HEARINGS ON THIS.
THE EAR-BASED AMENDMENT TRANSMITTAL HEARING IS TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED FOR MAY 3RD, DUE BY MAY 27TH.
WITH THAT, I CAN TAKE ANY QUESTIONS OR ITEMS THAT YOU WANT TO GET INTO MORE.
>> I GUESS LET ME GO BACK AND HAVE YOU OTHER SECTIONS LIKE WORKFORCE, HOUSING, ETC.
AT THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AND THE CRA ZONE, INLET VILLAGE RESIDENTIAL RIVERWALK FLEX INLET WATERWAY US1.
WE HAD PREVIOUSLY REMOVED THE BONUS PROGRAM FOR HEIGHT WHERE WE LEFT IT FOR DENSITY, THAT, AREA, ROADS FLOOD, AT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO THERE.
THAT COULD ALSO BE PART OF OUR DISCUSSION WE HAVE THE WORKSHOP FOR THE CRA, TALK ABOUT WHAT THE VISION IS THERE.
THERE'S A WHOLE SLEW OF PROVISIONS I WON'T READ THEM ALL OUT NOW, SEVERAL POLICIES THAT I THINK NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AND LOOKED AT IT'S PUT INTO PLACE A LONG TIME AGO UNDER A DIFFERENT VISION.
>> I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THAT, VIDEO OF WHAT WAS GOING ON.
I THINK WHEN THE LOVES TO YOUR PROJECT WAS APPROVED AND THERE WAS THIS QUOTE, YOU SHOULD READ IT.
THAT WAS WITH RESIDENTS ADDRESSED TO THEM AND SO THERE IS
[01:10:02]
WEBSITE AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BEEN UPDATED.I'D BE CURIOUS TO JUST LOOK AT THAT VISION COMPARED HOLD AND JUST WHAT THAT AREA TODAY VERSUS WHEN THIS AREA WAS ESTABLISHED.
I DON'T KNOW THE PROCESS FOR THAT, HAVING A CRA ROUNDTABLE.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
[14. Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium Major Renovations and Improvements Funding Discussion. [TAB 14]]
FOR THE RECORD, I'M JOHN SACKLER, THIS PRESENTATION TONIGHT IS A FOLLOW UP TO TO SINCE THE WORKSHOP.I WOULD ALSO JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT THE TOWN COUNCIL WAS FORWARDED A LETTER TODAY WAS DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS.
THIS LETTER WILL STAND ON ITS OWN.
HOWEVER, I WILL PROVIDE SOME CLARIFICATION THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION, SOME DIFFERENCES OF OPINION.
I WANT TO JUST START OFF WITH RENOVATION AND REQUEST.
ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO, DISCUSSED BATTING TUNNELS, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, AND SECURITY PAYMENTS, PARKING AS AN ISSUE GOING FORWARD.
THAT WAS TO INCORPORATE A PROVISION THAT THE TOWN'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE PROJECT PARKING DEFICIT TO REST.
THAT LEVEL OF DISCUSSION WAS ALSO CONTINGENT ON OVERALL PROJECT.
SOME MINIMUM NUMBER OF TWO PUBLIC EVENTS ASSOCIATED WITH SPONSORSHIPS AND SECURITY PAYMENTS.
IN THE 2020 STRATEGIC PLAN, VIGILANCE ITEM, IN THE PLAN BUT IT WAS SOMETHING TO SHOULD ISSUES ARISE.
DURING THE 2020 BUDGET DISCUSSIONS TO ADDRESS THE STRATEGIC PLAN ITEM, DID PRESENT HOW $5.5 MILLION IN CAPITAL FUNDING COULD BE SURTAX CASH FLOW FOR STADIUM AND PARKING IMPROVEMENTS.
THE TOWN COUNCIL DECIDED NOT TO PLACE ANY FUNDING IN THE BUDGET PLAN THAT YEAR.
DURING THE NEXT YEAR, BUDGET DISCUSSIONS IN 2021, WAS CONSIDERED FOR SURTAX CASH FLOW ONLY.
THERE WAS NO CONSENSUS BY THE COUNCIL TO SUPPORT THE CONTRIBUTIONS FOR TO PLACE IT IN THE BUDGET PLAN.
FUNDS WERE ONLY IDENTIFIED IN THE CASH FLOW.
DURING THE 2022 BUDGET, BECAUSE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT WAS PUT ON HOLD DUE TO THE PANDEMIC.
JUST TO NOTE, IN THE 2023 STRATEGIC PLAN, BASEBALL IN ABACOA.
JUST GO OVER A LITTLE BIT MORE HISTORY AS IT RELATES TO RECAP OF COUNCIL WORKSHOP EARLIER THIS YEAR.
IT INCLUDED A REVIEW OF THE HISTORY OF THE BASEBALL COMPLEX AND IN MORE DETAIL, THE TOWN AND JUPITER STADIUM LIMITED, THIS IS EFFECTIVE THROUGH 2027 BASED ON IN THE SPORTS FACILITY USE AGREEMENT.
[01:15:02]
THAT AGREEMENT PROVIDED FOR THE TOWN'S USE OF EACH YEAR.IT PROVIDED THAT THE USE WOULD BE SUBORDINATE TO STADIUM LIMITED MAY MAINTENANCE AND SECURITY PAYMENTS.
IT'S WORTH NOTING, THE MAINTENANCE OF THIS FACILITY IS REQUIRED TO AT A MUCH HIGHER LEVEL TO MEET MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL STANDARD.
THERE'S A PREMIUM PAID FOR THE MAINTENANCE THAT THE TOWN CONTRIBUTES TO THAT FACILITY.
AT THAT TIME, THE COUNTY STAFF ALSO REFERENCED THAT IF COMMISSIONERS HAVE PROVED THE RESTATED SPORTS FACILITY USE AGREEMENT, JUPITER LICENSE AGREEMENT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED.
AS WE KNOW, THAT AGREEMENT WAS APPROVED FIVE DAYS LATER AS PROPOSED.
I WAS JUST POINTING THIS OUT HISTORICALLY BASED ON CONSIDERING IT ON MAY 12.
IT WAS ALSO POINTED OUT JUST TO MAKE REFERENCE TO THE COUNTY'S LETTER TODAY, THE SPORTS FACILITY USE AGREEMENT WILL BECOME DATE OF THE SALE OF THE COUNTY BONDS FOR THE PROJECT, IS LIKELY TO OCCUR IN 2023.
THEREFORE, AS OF THAT DATE, STADIUM LIMITED WOULD TERMINATE IF NOT REPLACED.
>> THEY WOULDN'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS?
>> THEY WOULDN'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS TO USE IT IN THE FIELDS BECAUSE BASEBALL ASKED US TO USE OUR LIGHTS FOR THOSE QUAD FLEX FIELDS.
THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF UTILIZATION THAT HAS IMPROVEMENTS THAT THE TOWN PROVIDED IN NORTH QUAD, FIELD HOUSE, JUPITER STADIUM LIMITED PUTS ON DURING AS YOU MENTIONED, THEY DO USE THE LIGHTS SOME OF THE TIME FOR THOSE PURPOSES.
>> THEY TOLD ME THEY'LL ASK US THEY REALIZED THE TOWNS.
I THINK THOSE TOURNAMENTS ARE TAX, ARE THEY NOT? I THOUGHT WE HAD SEEN THAT IN THE PRESENTATION.
IT WAS AMAZING HOW MANY HOTEL ROOMS AND WHATEVER THAT LEADS TO.
QUAD PLEX FACILITIES ARE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTORS TO THAT.
>> YEAH, I THINK IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT UTILIZATION OFFSEASON WHERE SPRING TRAINING,
>> ALSO, WITH THE WORKSHOP, LONGER AN ISSUE.
REALLY THE MAJOR UPDATE FROM THAT, OCCURRING RELATED TO THAT RENDERING A COMPANY ASSUMES THAT MASTER PLAN, WITH FAU, ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY CAMPUS THROUGH WAS BEING CONSIDERED IN MOVING FORWARD.
THE TOWN COUNCIL ALSO POINTED OUT DURING THOSE DISCUSSIONS THAT PROPOSED BATTING TUNNELS WILL HAVE LIMITED ACCESS BY JUPITER TEQUESTA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION THE COUNCIL EXPRESSED THAT ANY FUNDING BEING CONSIDERED SHOULD BENEFIT TO JUPITER TAXPAYERS.
IT'S WORTH NOTING THAT THE COUNTY'S FUNDING, IMPROVEMENTS IS APPROXIMATELY $75 MILLION, THROUGH PALM BEACH COUNTY BED TAX DOLLARS AND NOT ANY OTHER DOLLARS.
I WOULD ALSO NOTE THAT THE LETTER THAT WAS PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN AND THE PARKING AGREEMENTS, RECALL, DIRECTLY A PARTY OF THOSE AGREEMENTS.
THE TOWN IS ALWAYS ABIDED BY THEM AND SUPPORTED ORDER REVIEWS.
IN FACT, IT WAS THE TOWN COUNCIL WHO WAS THE ONE WHO REQUIRED THAT MANAGEMENT PLAN ACTUALLY BE PREPARED AND APPROVED, LONGSTANDING REQUIREMENTS OF PRODUCED.
ACTIONS FROM THE WORKSHOP INCLUDED WHAT AMOUNT SHOULD BE CONTRIBUTED TO THE PROJECT, WHAT OTHER CITIES HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO BALLPARKS? WHAT THE VALUE OF THE 180 PARKING SPACES AT
[01:20:03]
BE OVER THE LIFE OF THE AGREEMENT, REQUESTED FROM MIKE BAUER, IT WAS ALSO NOTED THAT TOWN COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY TOUR THE STADIUM INDEPENDENTLY WITH MR. DECIDED TO MOVE PURSUING A FIELD USE AGREEMENT WITH JUPITER STADIUM LIMITED.FOLLOWING IN HIS WORKSHOP, AND STAFF HISTORY CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SPRING TRAINING FACILITY.
THAT WAS PROMPTED BY SOME OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS AT THE MEETING.
WHICH INCLUDED A 1997 TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM REPORT RELATED TO THE RECREATION PLAN FOR HISTORY OF HOW THE ACREAGE TO ACCOMMODATE THE TWO TEAM FACILITY.
THE 25 ACRE INCREASE IN LAND FOR THE FACILITY WAS ONLY MADE POSSIBLE BY THE TOWN AGREEING LIMITED TO MEET THE RECREATION NEEDS FOR ABACOA.
I THINK AS WE DISCUSSED AT THAT WORKSHOP, SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF JOINT PLANNING THAT WAS DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL IMPACT IN FOR PLAN TO MAKE IT A REALITY, AS A RESULT OF THAT COLLABORATION AND TRYING TO BE MORE EFFICIENT, RESULTED IN THE TOWN REQUIRING WOULD HAVE DEVELOPER FOR THE COMMUNITY PARK IN ABACOA; DEVELOPER TO DEDICATE PLUS OR MINUS ACRES MORE TO PALM BEACH COUNTY FREE OF CHARGE.
AGAIN, TO ACCOMMODATE THAT TWO TEAM CONCEPT THAT HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED NECESSARY FOR IT TO BE FOR THE COUNTY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH.
THE UPDATE ALSO INCLUDED INFORMATION THAT WAS PROVIDED TO THE COUNCIL BY SUMMARY OF COLLABORATION AREAS WHICH IDENTIFIED WHERE COLLABORATION ON IMPROVEMENTS MAY BE POSSIBLE FOR TOWN COUNCIL CONSIDERATION.
THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE AREAS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED BY THE COUNTY MILLION OF COLLABORATION IMPROVEMENTS.
THERE WAS A NARRATIVE OF PUBLIC SPACES, JUSTIFICATIONS TO IMPROVEMENTS.
A SUMMARY OF THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS THAT WAS SPORTS COMMISSION.
IT ALSO INCLUDED THE REVISED AGREEMENTS THAT WERE BEING PRESENTED TO COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ON MAY 17TH, 17TH MEETING.
AFTER EVALUATING THE INFORMATION THAT WAS PROVIDED BY PALM BEACH COUNTY, FOR CONSIDERATION THAT ARE INTENDED TO TAXPAYERS, UP TO $2.5 MILLION.
THEY INCLUDE THE MARLINS QUAD FIELDHOUSE RENOVATIONS AND LIGHTING REPLACEMENT.
THIS IS THE AREA THAT THE MAYOR REFERRED TO, BECAUSE WE HAD PROVIDED INSTALLED AT THE NORTH QUAD.
ALSO IDENTIFIED WERE STADIUM ENTRY UPGRADES MAIN STREET, OTHER PUBLICLY VISIBLE LOCATIONS.
THOSE LAST TWO ITEMS, I UNDERSTAND WERE AREAS OF IMPORTANCE TO DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL BUT THEY WERE NOT FUNDED AS PART OF THE PROJECT.
OF COURSE, THEY WERE ALSO IDENTIFIED BY STAFF BECAUSE THEY WERE IMPROVEMENTS THAT PHASE AREA BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
IF THIS TYPE OF FUNDING TO BE CONTINGENT UPON ACCESS TO THAT NORTH QUAD
[01:25:01]
DURING BETWEEN PALM BEACH COUNTY AND THE TOWN.IF DIRECTED, STAFF WOULD COME BACK WITH A FRAMING PLAN FOR CONSIDERATION IF YOU SUPPORT ANY OF THESE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
AS TO THE FIELD USE AGREEMENT WITH JUPITER STADIUM LIMITED, ARE RECOMMENDED TO REFLECT MANY OF THE ITEMS THAT WERE NOT 1997 AND THINGS THAT HAVE EVOLVED SINCE THAT DATE.
THIS INCLUDES BETTER MANAGEMENT OF THE TOURNAMENTS, LIGHTING AND THE COST OF THAT.
THE NEED FOR BETTER COORDINATION WITH TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AND THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.
UPDATING THE SECURITY AND MAINTENANCE FEES.
REDUCING THE TIME FRAME OF THE ACTUAL AGREEMENT TO REFLECT UTILIZATION OF THE FIELDS WHICH IS ONLY SEVEN MONTHS INSTEAD OF 10.
THE RECOGNITION OF THE TOWN OF JUPITER'S CONTRIBUTION FOR A MINIMUM OF PARKING SPACES AT THE JUPITER COMMUNITY PARK FOR SPRING TRAINING DAYS.
I WOULD NOTE THAT'S LESS THAN HALF OF FACILITY THAT EXISTS.
THERE'S PLENTY OF PARKING FOR THE PARK PROGRAM TIMES WHERE IT WOULD BE USED.
THESE SPACES ARE USED BY JUPITER STADIUM STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS ON GAME DAYS.
THEY PROVIDE OVERFLOW PARKING, MANAGEMENT PLAN ON BIGGER GAME DAYS.
ACTUALLY THE AGREEMENT WHAT THE TOWN EXTENDED THAN 180 SPACES ON FIVE HIGH CAPACITY GAME DAYS.
>> THE SURPLUS SPACES ARE USED BY THE SCHOOL, CORRECT?
>> THERE ARE SOME SPACES THAT ARE ALSO ALLOCATED FOR THE NORTHWEST SIDE OF THE PARKING AREA.
>> ALSO, IF PURSUED, TO OR EASEMENT FOR THE TOWN'S USE OF TO REQUIREMENTS.
SINCE THEN THE EXISTING AGREEMENT, ARE NOT TO BE USED RECREATION REQUIREMENTS.
SO FAR, AS THE FUNDING AGREEMENT, FORWARD, INCORPORATED.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE TOWN JUPITER'S PAST CONTRIBUTIONS TO TRAINING FACILITY.
AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED AGREEMENT TO ENTER INTO THE COUNTY FOR THE TOWNS MARLINS QUAD IS LOCATED FOR RECREATIONAL PURPOSES, THE TOWN'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
JUST TO NOTE, THAT DOES NOT REFERENCE THE DRI AS THE DRI HAS BEEN SUNSET, REQUIREMENTS ARE REFLECTED IN THE TOWN'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
WITH THAT IN CONCLUSION, DO WANT TO IF SO, TO WHAT LEVEL? IF THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS DESIRED MAYBE HAPPY TO ADDRESS THOSE.
>> COULD YOU TAKE IT BACK TO THIS? I KNOW WE SEE THIS HERE, OPTIONS PAGE? JUST AS A POINT OF PERSPECTIVE FOR CONVERSATION.
I BELIEVE WE HAVE A COUNTY REPRESENTATIVE HERE.
I JUST WANTED TO STATE THAT THIS IS A ROUNDTABLE WHICH INTENDED FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
WE KNOW WE GOT YOUR LETTER IN TODAY.
WE HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO DIGEST IT.
WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THE ROUND TABLE AS WE PLANNED.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE AS A COUNCIL OR GETTING TOGETHER.
WE DON'T HAVE AGE JUST LIKE CAN BE SOME COLLABORATIONS.
WE KNOW CONVERSATION HAS HAPPENED SINCE WE'VE INDIVIDUALLY VISITED THE
[01:30:01]
STADIUM.I WANTED TO JUST HEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME WHAT THE INCARNATIONS MIGHT BE ON THOUGHT WE MIGHT SUPPORT.
ANYBODY WANT TO VOLUNTEER TO GO FIRST?
>> WELL, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS IMPORTANT TO ME WAS STEADY IN ENTRY UPGRADES, REALLY FELT LIKE IT WAS VERY DATED.
[NOISE] IT'S A BIG PART OF DOWNTOWN ABACOA.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR IT IF THE STADIUM AND THE INSIGHTS CAN BE MODERNIZED, EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYONE.
ALSO, I LIKE THE IDEA OF PUBLIC ART JUST TO MAKE IT A BETTER EXPERIENCE TO ME, YOU LIVE THERE OR NOT, FOR ME, THOSE WERE THE THINGS THAT I THOUGHT WE'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING.
>> THAT'S ITEMS 2 AND 3 UP THERE, SECOND, THIRD BULLETS? DID YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THE QUAD?
I THINK THAT'S ALSO AN IMPORTANT ITEM, ONES THAT YOU ASKED ABOUT AND THOSE WERE THE TWO THINGS THAT STRUCK ME.
YES, THE LIGHTING REPLACEMENT WOULD ALSO BE USEFUL FOR THOSE WHO UTILIZE THE FIELD.
>> I THINK IT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER AND ALL OF THIS AND A LOT.
IT HAS BEEN A WHILE AND IT WAS MENTIONED IN THIS PRESENTATION, TO EMPHASIZE THE WEEKLY REPORT THAT CAME OUT AFTER THE ROUNDTABLE, DISCOVERED THE 25 ACRES AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE.
TWO TEAMS HERE IN JUPITER WOULDN'T EXIST WITHOUT THAT.
THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION.
YOU TALK TO ANYONE IN ABACOA, THAT TO WHICH THAT SOMETHING THAT DESERVES ACKNOWLEDGING.
I THINK THAT WAS A HUGE THING FOR ME THAT CAME OUT OF IT.
[NOISE] JUST CONSIDERING ALSO THE SOURCE OF FUNDING, DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BED TAX AND A SURTAX AND AD VALOREM TAXES.
TOURISTS TAXES FOR HOTEL STAYS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THOSE ARE FOR TOURIST ITEMS. THE OPPORTUNITY COST, IF YOU USE IT HERE, WELL, RELATED INFRASTRUCTURE ITEM.
THE OPPORTUNITY COST IN SURTAX HAS OWNED ASSET.
I UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAD TO LOOK AT AD VALOREM TAX.
WELL, THE OPPORTUNITY COST OF AD VALOREM TAX COULD BE VERY GREAT, SINCE THIS WASN'T IN OUR BUDGET.
I THINK THAT IS A REALLY IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION.
I REMEMBER WHEN THE COUNTY WAS FIRST REMEMBER IT.
COMMISSIONER SAID WELL, WHAT'S THE AD VALOREM TAX SPEND HERE? NONE.
WELL, THAT'S NOT THE CASE FOR THE TOWN JUPITER.
THEN ANOTHER CONCERN AT THE TIME WAS WE WERE GIVEN A LIST PUBLIC BENEFIT.
WE WERE CONCERNED WITH DIRECT PUBLIC BENEFIT AND SOURCE OF THE FUNDING, BENEFIT JUPITER TAXPAYERS OR THE PUBLIC.
IT SEEMED WHEN LOOKING AT THAT LIST THAT IT WAS THE PAYING PUBLIC.
WE WERE LOOKING AT, THE PUBLIC ART IN STADIUM ENTRY UPGRADES IS THOSE ARE OUTWARD FACING.
THEY'RE NOT IN THE STADIUM, THEY'RE OUTSIDE OF IT, TOWN.
BUT THE QUESTION IS, WHAT'S THE VALUE OF THE 25 ACRES THAT WE GAVE? LOOKING AT THE OPPORTUNITY COST OF WHAT'S ON THE TABLE WITH AD VALOREM FUNDING.
IN THIS ENVIRONMENT I KNOW IT'S BEEN MENTIONED HOW WE DO BENEFIT FROM TOURNAMENTS, IT'S ABSOLUTELY A BENEFIT TO OUR RESIDENTS TO HAVE PLACES TO GO, CLEAR CUT.
IF PEOPLE ARE BUYING BASEBALL TICKETS, LOCAL BUSINESSES OR SHOWS.
IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT AND IN LOOKING AT WHAT OTHER COMMUNITIES HAVE PROVIDED FOR BALLPARKS, WELL, WE'VE PROVIDED LAND.
[01:35:01]
IF IT'S FUNDING IT'S SALES TAX FUNDING OR IT'S CERTAINLY NOT WHAT I EXPECTED.I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED.
I GUESS THE CONCERN THEN IS ALSO WITH THOSE IMPACTED.
WE DO HAVE A LEVEL OF SERVICE IN OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S NOT IN QUESTION.
WE NEED TO PROVIDE REGULAR FUNDING IS WHAT THE LETTER SAID.
IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THIS PERPETUAL ACCESS TO THE NORTH QUAD, PROVIDING REGULAR MAINTENANCE TO MLB STANDARDS, PREMIUM COST.
WE ARE DOING A NUMBER OF THINGS IN THE AGREEMENT THAT TYPE OF MAINTENANCE.
I THINK THAT MEETS THE DEFINITION OF WHILE WE USE IT.
THOSE ARE JUST SOME OF THE THOUGHTS.
WE MET AS A COUNCIL AT 6:00 PM, IT.
THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF TIME THAT HAS PASSED SINCE OUR LAST MEETING, JUST SOME OF THE THINGS THAT STOOD OUT TO ME IN GOING THROUGH THIS.
EACH PERSON GOES AND THE PUBLIC ART, SURE YOU COMMENTED ABOUT THE QUAD RENOVATIONS.
>> THE QUAD MAKES SENSE BECAUSE WE OWN IT.
THERE'S THE BILL OF SALE AND MAINTAINING WHAT YOU OWN, BUT TO STANDARDS THAT IS AN EASIER ITEM FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND THAN THE OTHER TWO.
BUT IT'S MOSTLY JUST, I'M REALLY WANTING TO HAVE ENTRY UPGRADES AND PUBLIC ART.
BUT I'M LOOKING TO LEARN FROM TIME AND SOME TIME.
>> I'M GOING TO GO NEXT IF I CAN.
BECAUSE I JUST WANTED TO BUILD UPON WHAT WAS STATED.
I THINK I WAS THE LAST ONE TO TAKE THE STADIUM TOUR.
I HAD THE BENEFIT OF FULL APPRECIATION OF THE LEARNING ABOUT THE QUAD, OWNED AND THAT.
I ACTUALLY ASKED FOR A TOUR AND WE ACTUALLY WALKED OUT THERE.
I SHOULD HAVE, BUT IT DIDN'T HAVE IN FRONT OF ME TONIGHT, ALWAYS HAVE IT IN FRONT OF US.
MY RECOLLECTION WHEN WE HEARD ABOUT THE BED TAX REVENUES, SUBSTANTIAL REVENUES FROM THE TOURNAMENT, I'D LIKE TO PUT THAT INTO PERSPECTIVE AND HAVE GOES TO WHAT THE VALUE OF THE TOWN'S CONTRIBUTION WAS.
NOT JUST THE 25 ACRES PUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WENT ALONG WITH IT.
I REMEMBER SEEING THE PRESENTATIONS.
ANYWAY, I'D LIKE TO AGAIN HAVE THAT.
I'M GOING ON RECOLLECTION HERE, I WAS CLEARLY LOOKING BACK INTO THE PAST FOR 20 PLUS YEARS, OUR CONTRIBUTION IN THE FACILITIES AND THE LIGHTING.
AGAIN, I WAS GETTING A TOUR AND HEARING HOW WHEN THEY NEEDED TO USE IT.
THEY ASKED US AND WE ALWAYS PROVIDED.
IT MADE SENSE AS WE WERE ALSO LOOKING AT OUR OTHER RECREATION FACILITIES AROUND TOWN.
WE'RE GOING TO GO ANOTHER 25 YEARS.
WE OUGHT TO INVEST IN, JUPITER COMMUNITY PARK AND WHAT HAVE YOU.
TO ME, THAT'S THE ONGOING CONTRIBUTION.
AGAIN, I DIDN'T READ THE COUNTY'S LETTER, THIS MOMENT BY DOING THAT.
BUT I'M PROUD TO HAVE REALIZED HOW SIGNIFICANT THE TOWN'S CONTRIBUTION, IN PROPERTY AND INFRASTRUCTURE HAS BEEN TO THE ABILITY TO TOURNAMENTS AND THE SIGNIFICANT REVENUES THAT COME FROM THAT.
I WAS CERTAINLY COMMITTED TO MAKE SURE WE DO THE RENOVATIONS AND LIGHTING REPLACEMENTS TO OPERATION
[01:40:04]
COLLECTION OF BED TAXES CAN CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 25 YEARS.I DIDN'T DWELL AS MUCH ON THE STADIUM ENTRY UPGRADES AND PUBLIC ART.
IT MAY BE THE CASE THAT THE QUAD FIELD HOUSE RENOVATION, REPLACEMENTS BEING TOWN OWN FACILITIES, WE STILL HAD SURTAX FUNDS OR WHATEVER.
WHEREAS THE STADIUM ENTRY IN PUBLIC ART WOULD NOT BE RIGHT.
BUT THAT'S WHAT IT IS, IS WHAT WE MAY STRUGGLE WITH.
I THINK NOW THREE OF US HAVE AGREED.
BUT WHAT THAT IS, BUT I WANT TO BELIEVE THAT I'M JUST SAYING IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE THREE ITEMS THAT ARE UP HERE.
WITH THAT, WHO WANTS TO GO NEXT?
THE STADIUM SPRING TRAINING FACILITY IS FROM THE TOWN AND DEVELOPMENT, THERE WAS MAJOR SKIN AT THE GAME AT THAT POINT.
>> NOT TO REGURGITATE, BUT ALL YOU SAID ABOUT TAX REVENUES.
ARE THEY LOOKING TO REPLACE THE WHOLE LIGHTING STRUCTURE? JOHN? HOW MUCH OF THE LIGHTS ARE THEY LOOKING TO REPLACE OR UPGRADE?
>> MR. HERNANDEZ, MAYBE BETTER AT SPEAKING TO THE CONDITION OF THE LADY, THE FACILITY.
>> WHAT DO THEY WANT UPGRADED ON THAT?
WE JUST RELIT JUPITER COMMUNITY PARK.
MAYBE I DID, BUT I THOUGHT WE ALL DID COLLECTIVELY.
WE SAID, HEY, IT'S OUR FACILITY, KEEP IT FOR ANOTHER 25 YEARS.
THE ASSUMPTION WAS IT WILL BE LIGHTING.
NOW, I'VE HAVE SEEN IN HERE, HIGHER STANDARDS.
>> I'D NEVER HEARD ABOUT THAT BEFORE.
>> DURING A SITE VISIT WITH MR. HERNANDEZ AND BOWER AND SOME OF HIS STAFF.
IT WAS NOTED THAT THE MARLIN'S MAY BE INTERESTED TOWN'S LIGHTING AND PAYING RAISING IT UP THAT THEY COULD USE IT EVEN MORE SO.
>> MEANING NEW STRUCTURES OR JUST?
>> I THINK IT'S JUST THE FIXTURES.
>> THAT NEED UPGRADING TO LED FROM.
>> TO LED, THAT'S WHAT WE WERE DOING.
WHEN I PRICED OUT AND GAVE THAT STATEMENT, LED STANDARDS, THEY HAVE A LITTLE NEWER POLL STRUCTURES OUT AT THE ROGER DEAN STADIUM LOCATION.
AS LONG AS THEY ARE A LOWER WIND LOAD, ISSUE, THEY WERE PRICED AS SUCH.
USING, LIKE YOU HAD MENTIONED, MR. MAYOR, HAD TRYING TO TAKE WHAT WE HAVE
>> DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE UPGRADE THAT BASEBALL AND ONE FROM WHAT WE WOULD DO? [OVERLAPPING] DO YOU HAVE ANY FEEL FOR MAYBE YOU COULD GET BACK WOULD UPGRADE IT ANY FURTHER THAN WHAT WE'D BE DOING?
>> AS JOHN HAD MENTIONED, WAS A DISCUSSION ABOUT POTENTIAL BUT THERE MAY BE ONE FIELD UP TO MAJOR LEAGUE STANDARDS.
THAT WAS REALLY JUST A ONE MINOR COMMENT WHEN WE WERE OUT THERE.
>> BUT IT'D BE INTERESTING TO KNOW HOW MUCH THAT IS.
WHAT ARE THE FOUR FIELDS YOU'RE SAYING?
>> IT WOULD DEPEND ON WHETHER OR NOT THE CURRENT POLES COULD HANDLE AND THE WIND LOAD AND THE ADDITIONAL FIXTURES.
AND THEN WHETHER OR NOT WE WOULD NEED TO PUT ADDITIONAL POLES AND THAT BE ONE OF THE CONSIDERATIONS THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO LOOK INTO AS WELL.
AT THIS POINT, WE'VE NOT PRICED THAT OUT.
BUT TO THE DEGREE WE'VE HEARD THAT SOME WANT, AN ESTIMATE OF WHAT THE INCREMENTAL WOULD
>> NO, I WOULD LOOK AT IMPROVING AN ASSET THE TOWN ALREADY OWNS BECAUSE IT'S OURS, GUESS, FACILITY AND THEN SOMETHING ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTION WOULD HAVE AND DIRECT PUBLIC BENEFIT.
[01:45:02]
BECAUSE WHERE NOW WE'RE LOOKING TO AD VALOREM DOLLARS.THAT'S DIRECTLY COME OUT OF THE POCKETS OF JUPITER RESIDENTS AND THEY'RE NOT BED TAXES, THAT'S MY LOOKING AT THIS.
>> THAT'S WHY THE FUNDING PLAN I THINK WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO SEE.
>> BUT I THINK ALSO WHEN WE WERE TALKING GO AROUND, UPDATE FROM STAFF.
THAT WAS A MATERIAL CHANGE FOR ME IN THIS.
>> I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN SAID SO FAR AND YOU GUYS PRETTY MUCH COVERED IT.
I'M A PRETTY SIMPLE MINDED PERSON.
IF I'M TAKING TAX DOLLARS FROM MY RESIDENTS TO PAY FOR SOMETHING, SHOULD DIRECTLY BENEFIT FROM IT.
THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN MY STANCE ON ANYTHING.
OBVIOUSLY THE STADIUM ENTRY UPGRADES AND GOING TO HAVE EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.
BEING THAT ESSENTIALLY IT'S OURS, THAT AND UPGRADE IT.
I GOT LATE TO THE GAME ON THIS.
I WAS HELD OUT FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF MEETINGS UNTIL I GOT OF MEETING THAT SAID I CAN OUR AGREEMENT THAT I COULD VOTE ON THIS.
I HAVEN'T GOTTEN UNFORTUNATELY TOUR A ROGER DEAN YET, TRYING TO SET UP THAT MEETING.
>> THE QUESTION IS, WE COULD PROVIDE THESE OTHER ITEMS, THE OPPORTUNITY COST OF THEM THE TOWN'S PREVIOUS CONTRIBUTIONS.
I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE STILL UNRESOLVED HERE.
>> I THINK THAT'S A QUESTION WE HAVE TO RESOLVE, WHAT THE FUNDING PLAN WOULD LOOK LIKE, THAT THAT'S WHERE WE SHOULD GO.
BUT I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THAT OPTION LOOKS LIKE AND THEN WE HAVE TO CONSIDER, HAVE SIGNIFICANT SKIN IN THE GAME AND EVERYTHING THAT FAR THEN WE CAN WEIGH THOSE.
>> THE MAYOR AND I HAVE BEEN HERE A LONG YEARS NOW [INAUDIBLE] WEREN'T INVOLVED BECAUSE OF POTENTIAL CONFLICT OR WHATEVER.
BEING THAT COUNTY IS MY DIRECT EMPLOYER.
WE'VE SEEN THIS MUTATE AROUND BUT FROM THE TOWN IN THE BEGINNING OF THAT WHOLE DEVELOPMENT, CARD IN THIS GAME HERE.
WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT THAT AND DIGESTING THAT.
I AGREE WITH EVERYBODY HERE AND THIS HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME.
NOW, I'LL RUN IT FOR A WHILE AND MAKE A DECISION.
WHEN DOES THE STAFF NEED A DIRECTION OR A DECISION FROM US OR WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT?
>> [NOISE] WE TRY TO GET SOME FROM THIS EVENING IF WE COULD BUT I'D JUST GENERAL THOUGHTS.
WHAT I'M HEARING IS HE WANT US TO PUSHING AHEAD IN TERMS OF CENTRAL MONETARY INVESTMENTS.
>> LET'S SEE WHAT THE FUNDING PLAN WILL LOOK LIKE AND WHERE THE REVENUES WILL COME FROM, DOLLARS USED FOR PART OF IT, AND WE CAN GO FROM THERE TO DECIDE WHAT,
>> WHAT I'D ASK IS THAT, SAYS IF DIRECTED STAFF WILL COME BACK WITH A FUNDING PLAN.
I THINK THE FIRST BULLET IS MORE EASILY DEFINED BECAUSE OUT THERE AND DEFINED IT AS WE WOULD NORMALLY MAINTAIN OUR FACILITIES.
WE NOW ASK STAFF FOR AN INCREMENT IF THEY'RE ABLE TO GET AN INCREMENT ONE FIELD TO BRING IT UP TO, PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL STANDARDS.
AT OUR DISCRETION SO WE COULD COME BACK ON THAT, THE STADIUM ENTRY UPGRADES AND PUBLIC ART, COULD BE AN ENTIRETY OF A RANGE.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M CAREFUL.
WHERE WE'RE CAREFUL IN ASKING FOR STAFF TO GIVE US SOME, FUNDING PLAN.
THOSE MAY HOPEFULLY BE ARRANGED BECAUSE UNTIL YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE, REALLY CAN'T EVEN ESTIMATE THEM RIGHT.
>> WELL I THINK THAT AS I RECALL WHEN I DID THE STADIUM TOUR THAT LEAGUE BASEBALL HAD SOME IDEAS [OVERLAPPING] FOR THE SAME UPGRADES, DIDN'T MAKE THE FINAL CUT.
MY THINKING WAS, WELL, MAYBE WHATEVER IT WAS THAT THEY WERE THINKING, BRING THAT FORWARD AND TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
[01:50:01]
BUT, IF BASEBALL HAD A NUMBER, FINE.BUT STILL IT'S GOING TO COME BACK TO US WITH HOW MUCH MONEY WE WANT TO PUT IN.
THESE ARE THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND I WANT TO STAY ON THAT TOPIC.
I JUST WANT TO PIVOT FOR A MOMENT, JOHN.
WHILE YOU'RE UP THERE, THEY WANT TO STAY ON THAT TOPIC, ONGOING ITEMS IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDE.
I DON'T WANT TO LOSE SIGHT OF THAT.
BECAUSE I REMEMBER WE GOT INTO THIS, MAINTAIN THE QUAD FLEX FIELDS.
WE DO PROVIDE SECURITY IN WHATEVER AND I REMEMBER RECOLLECT AS MANY MONTHS AGO NOW, WILLING TO UPDATE THOSE NUMBERS.
THOSE ARE ANNUAL CONTRIBUTIONS, IF YOU WILL, THE STADIUM.
I THINK IF YOU COULD CUT BACK WITH US UNDERSTAND THAT AGAIN, JUST TO REMEMBER.
>> I CAN UPDATE YOU ON THAT, MAYOR.
WE HAD COME UP WITH THE RECOMMENDED 2.5 GOTTEN TOGETHER.
THE ITEMS THAT MR. SACKLER HAS GONE OVER THIS EVENING IN TERMS OF, BRINGS VALUE TO THE TOWN.
HE LISTED THOSE, DO YOU HAVE THAT SLIDE BACK UP THERE?
>> NO I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE ANNUAL COST.
WAS TRYING TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT, CONVERSATION ABOUT CONTINUING COSTS, EVERY YEAR.
>> THAT'S HOW WE CAME FROM IT IF YOU REMEMBER, 5.8.
>> 5.8 THEN WE LOOKED AT ALL THE REOCCURRINGS WE'VE RECEIVED.
WE DID THE PRESENTATION, THINGS THAT WE FEEL BRINGS VALUE.
BASED ON ASSESSMENTS, MILLION RECOMMENDATION.
>> THE ONGOING COST WERE BASICALLY BETWEEN THE TOWN AND THE JSL.
>> THEY MAY NEVER HAVE KNOWN WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING THERE?
BUT I'M JUST SAYING, TALKING ABOUT HAS BEEN ONGOING COST WITH OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JSL.
THAT WAS IN THAT JSL AGREEMENT,
>> WE'LL BRING THAT INFORMATION BACK TO YOU.
>> IN THE FIELD MAINTENANCE, IS THAT A MONETARY CONTRIBUTION TO JSL? WE DON'T MAINTAIN FIELDS, OR DO WE?
>> NO, WE DON'T DO THE ACTUAL WORK ITSELF.
>> WE WORK THAT THROUGH JSL IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.
>> WE PAY FOR 10 MONTHS OF THE YEAR FOR THE MAINTENANCE.
>> THAT'S AT MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL STANDARDS.
>> WHICH IS [OVERLAPPING] WE DON'T HAVE HIGH STANDARDS.
>> IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT STANDARDS.
>> I WAS JUST GOING TO POINT OUT THAT THINK FOR THE RENOVATION, LIGHTING.
THEN THE VALUES FOR THE STADIUM ENTRY UPGRADES WAS PART OF VALUES THAT WERE PART OF THE COUNTY.
THAT WAS 441,000 FOR THE STADIUM ENTRY UPGRADES, FOR THE PUBLIC ART.
THAT'S HOW WE CAME UP WITH THE $2.5 MILLION ESTIMATE.
>> WE'LL BRING THAT BACK TO YOU AS AN AGENDA ITEM FOR DISCUSSION.
>> FAMILY HOUSE, FINAL COMMENTS? THIS HAS BEEN A GOOD REFRESHER.
WEEKLY REPORTS ARE PHENOMENAL SOURCES OF INFORMATION.
[01:55:01]
I DON'T WANT US TO HAVE THEM TOP OF MIND.[OVERLAPPING] READ THEM MAYOR.
SEEING NO OTHER DISCUSSIONS ON THIS ITEM,
[TOWN MANAGER]
>> MAYOR, GIVEN THE HOUR, JUST A COUPLE OF POINTS.
EARLY THIS WEEK, THE TOWN LAUNCHED ITS FIRST LIVE WEBCAM, THE TOWN'S VETERANS MEMORIAL.
EVEN THOUGH SOON IT WILL BE COVERED BUT IT'S HIGHLIGHTED NOW.
THE WEBCAM CAN BE VIEWED 24 HOURS A DAY IN THE TOWN'S WEBSITE.
IT'S THE FIRST OF A SERIES OF CAMERAS THAT WILL BE BROUGHT ONLINE AS PART OF THE '21, OF WHAT MAKES US UNIQUELY JUPITER.
WE'RE PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THE PROJECT AND IT'S NICE TO GET IT OFF THE GROUND.
KUDOS TO SEAN REID AND THE TEAM BACK OVER THERE THAT'S BEEN WORKING ON THAT,
>> WHERE IS THE WEB CAMERA? I SAW THAT BUT WHERE IS IT?
>> YEAH, I KNOW WHERE THEY ARE VIEWING, BUT WHERE'S THE CAMERA?
>> WE DON'T TELL WHERE THE CAMERA IS.
JUST KNOW EXACTLY WHERE IT IS.
MAYBE YOU GUYS CAN REPORT ON IT.
BECAUSE OUTSIDE OF BEING VANDALIZED OR WHATEVER.
>> WAS THAT YOURS OR [INAUDIBLE] THE GRASSROOTS INITIATIVE?
>> IT WAS FORMER MAYOR'S, I BELIEVE.
[OVERLAPPING] IS THE GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY, SITE PREP WORK FOR THE NEW BUILDING IS PROGRESSING AND WE WILL HOLD GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY RIGHT BEFORE THE FOUNDATION FOR THE BUILDING IS POURED.
PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THAT AS WELL.
>> KEN, LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT.
>> WELL, I TRIED TO LEARN A TOPIC, YOU AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS ON THE DEBT GROUNDBREAKING EVENT.
EVERY EMPLOYEE OF THE TOWN TO FEEL WELCOME TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT GROUNDBREAKING EVENT.
THAT SOMETHING THAT HASN'T HAPPENED IN THE PAST.
MR. KECHROE AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT THAT.
HE ASSURED ME WE'LL MAKE SURE WE DON'T MISS IT.
I WANTED TO GET IT ON THE RECORD.
USUALLY, ELECTED OFFICIALS GET TO GO AND DON'T GET THE.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY FEEL WELCOME.
WE'RE ANNOUNCING IT HERE AND MR. KECHROE PHOTO OPS.
BUT THEY'LL BE ALIGNED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE GROUNDBREAKING.
>> YOU NEED TO OWN 50 SHOVELS.
[LAUGHTER] LET THEM ENJOY THAT.
I KNOW WE ALL FEEL THE SAME WAY.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT INVITATION WAS COMING FROM THE COUNCIL.
[TOWN COUNCIL – LIAISON REPORTS AND COMMENTS]
INTO TOWN.I'M ALSO NOTICING THAT THEY ARE BECOMING MORE BOLD IN WHERE THEY ARE PARKING AND ON TWO LANE ROADWAYS.
ON MY WAY HERE TONIGHT I SAW ONE TAKE UP THE ENTIRE ENTRANCE OF COULDN'T BELIEVE A CAR WAS ABLE TO GET BY HIM, I WAS COMING DOWN TONY BENNETT THE OTHER DAY AND THERE WAS ONE IN FRONT OF LOCKS ACHI CLUB BLOCKING.
THEY WEREN'T EVEN IN THE TURN LANE.
THEY WERE JUST ON THE SIDE MAKING PEOPLE GO INTO THE TURN LANE AROUND IT.
OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S GOING TO CAUSE TRAFFIC ISSUES.
SOMETHING THAT'S FRUSTRATING FOR ME.
I HAVE A PICTURE OF A CAR CARRIER SMALL AND A1A AND STUFF LIKE THAT IN THE EASEMENT.
I THINK IF WE CAN GET SOME ENFORCEMENT GOING ON THAT AND MAYBE POTENTIALLY START LOOKING CARRIERS FROM BLOCKING ROADWAYS.
>> EVER BEEN OF THAT QUITE A BIT IN THE MORNING, IS TRUE.
>> IT'S PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE EACH YEAR.
I SEE IT AND I'M JUST TIRED OF IT.
>> I'VE GOT TWO ITEMS. ONE IS THAT IN THE WEEKLY REPORT ON
[02:00:04]

I JUST WANT IT TO BE KNOWN THAT WE DO LISTEN.
WE ARE CAREFUL TO JUST MAKE SURE AND OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY.
ONE OF THOSE ITEMS WAS GREATER PARTICIPATION IN THE GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS COMMITTEE, I DID ATTEND FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT COMMITTEE MEETING, LAST FRIDAY.

EACH MUNICIPALITY HAS A REPRESENTATIVE THERE WHERE THEY TOP-LEVEL OVERVIEW OF THE TOWN.
BUT IT WAS NICE TO LISTEN AND I DID GET A NUMBER OF MESSAGES.
IT'S ON ZOOM BUT OF SUPPORT FROM OTHER PEOPLE IN THAT ROOM.
I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN DOING THAT GOING FORWARD, THEY HAD RECOMMENDED LISTENS TO RECOMMENDATIONS PUT FORWARD BY THEM.
ANOTHER IS, AND THIS IS A SMALL ITEM, COLLECTING UNTIL DECEMBER 7TH, DRIVE.
MY KIDS AND I WILL GET TOGETHER ITEMS NEIGHBORS AND OUR COMMUNITY.
JUST THINKING ABOUT OUR NEIGHBORS AND OUR WIDER COMMUNITY AND JUPITER, THING FOR PARENTS OR GRANDPARENTS IS HANDWRITTEN CARDS BY CHILDREN IS ON THE REQUEST.
THAT WAS SOMETHING TO DO DURING THE STORM, THE HOLIDAY IS JUST TO CONSIDER THAT FOR THEM.
AGAIN, THEY CAN BE TURNED INTO THE JUPITER POLICE DEPARTMENT UNTIL DECEMBER 7TH.
THERE'S A LISTING OF ITEMS AND THAT ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
I REALLY LIKE THAT COURSE AND WANT TO MENTION THAT HERE.
>> IT'S HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE TENANT CHAMBER SAVED ABOUT BECAUSE COUNCILMAN AND I GOT UNOPPOSED.
WE WERE RE-ELECTED FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS.
>> I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS IS JUST AN HONOR AND PLEASURE DOING THIS.
IT'S SOME WORK, BUT I THINK WE GET A LOT OF GOOD WORK UP HERE.
GET A LOT OF GOOD WORK DONE UP HERE.
I'M PROUD TO WORK WITH MY [INAUDIBLE] FRESHMEN COUNSELORS AND LOOKING FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS AND IT'LL BE FUN.
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FUTURE AND TURNING A NEW PAGE.
TODAY HAS BEEN A WHIRLWIND DAY FOR ME, BUT YEAH.
I GUESS THAT WOULD MEAN IT'S AN ODE TO US THAT WE'RE DOING A FAIRLY GOOD JOB.
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING MORE STUFF DONE.
>> A FEW PEOPLE SAID THAT TO ME TODAY.

WE CAN NOW FOCUS ON THE BUSINESS AT HAND.
