[1.City Manager's Opening Remarks]

>> GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

BEFORE WE GET STARTED, I JUST WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT-OUT TO THIS TEAM THAT GOT US WITHIN AN HOUR AND A HALF THIS MORNING IN HERE AND GOT US A LOCATION FOR OUR [INAUDIBLE] MEETING AT [INAUDIBLE], AND JUST TO JUST BE ABLE TO WALK IN AND SEE EVERYTHING COME TOGETHER MAGICALLY.

NONE OF THIS WAS PLANNED.

I JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS MY DEEPEST GRATITUDE TO A TEAM THAT NEVER LETS US DOWN.

[APPLAUSE] THANK YOU. TODAY,

[2.a Fiscal year 2023 Proposed Budget]

THE AGENDA WILL BE AN OVERVIEW OF THE BUDGET AND THE [INAUDIBLE], AND THEN WE'LL HEAR FROM EACH OF THE DEPARTMENTS ABOUT THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THEIR BUDGET REQUEST.

IT IS A GREAT PRIVILEGE TO PRESENT TO YOU THE PROPOSED 2023 BUDGET FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND DISCUSSION TODAY.

FIRST, I'M GOING TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED LEADERSHIP AND COMMITMENT TO THE EMPLOYEES AND THE PEOPLE OF TAMARAC.

AS YOU'RE WELL AWARE, THIS CONTINUES TO BE A UNIQUE MOMENT IN TIME LOCALLY AND GLOBALLY.

IN THE CITY OF TAMARAC IN THE PAST YEAR, WE'VE FOCUSED ON STABILIZING THE ORGANIZATION.

WE'VE HAD SEVERAL KEY POSITIONS TURN OVER: THE CITY ATTORNEY, CITY MANAGER, CITY CLERK, FIRE CHIEF, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, PUBLIC SERVICES DIRECTOR, AND THE ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER, TO NAME A FEW.

ON TOP OF THAT, WE'VE HAD TO [INAUDIBLE] THE IMPACT OF THE VOLUNTARY SEPARATION AGREEMENT THAT WE ENTERED INTO A COUPLE OF YEARS IN A VERY TIGHT LABOR MARKET.

THIS CALLED FOR MULTIPLE RECRUITMENT, REDEPLOYMENT OF EXISTING STAFF, AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SUCCESSION PLANS, ALL WITH EXPECTED CHALLENGES.

THE IMPACT OF THE TIGHT LABOR MARKET MADE IT HARD TO FILL SOME CRITICAL POSITIONS, WITH A CONSISTENT VACANCY RATE OF FIVE PERCENT, AND THAT ISN'T SHAKING QUICKLY.

WE HAVE LESS PEOPLE DOING MORE, BUT TIME AND TIME AGAIN, AS YOU SAW TODAY, OUR EMPLOYEES HAVE STEPPED UP AND HAVE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND [INAUDIBLE].

WE KNOW THAT OUR EMPLOYEES ARE OUR MOST IMPORTANT RESOURCE.

SO WE CONTINUE TO INVEST IN THEM WITH ROBUST TRAINING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES THE DIVERSIFYING AND ENRICHING ANYTHING FROM TECHNICAL SKILLS TO OVERALL WELLNESS AND HEALTH.

WE KEEP CHALLENGING OUR TEAM THROUGH ALL LEVELS OF THE ORGANIZATION AND OFFER GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH OUR MENTORING PROGRAM AND [INAUDIBLE] BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT PAY ALONE IS NOT WHAT MAKES FOR A SATISFIED WORKFORCE.

OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DECADES, WE'VE PLACED A PARTICULAR EMPHASIS AND FOCUS ON EMPLOYEE WELLNESS, BOTH PHYSICAL AND MENTAL.

MINDFULNESS SCREENING WAS PROVIDED TO MORE THAN 150 EMPLOYEES,

[00:05:02]

THE CITY RECOGNIZES THE EFFECT OF THE PANDEMIC AND THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE WORLD AND WE WANT TO GIVE BACK TO OUR EMPLOYEES WHO'VE WORKED SO HARD THROUGHOUT THIS TIME AND THEY NEVER STOP.

UNLIKE SOME ORGANIZATIONS, THE CITY NEVER HAD THE LUXURY TO CLOSE DOWN OPERATIONS COMPLETELY AND WORK FROM HOME.

RATHER, OUR EMPLOYEES WERE HERE DAY IN AND DAY OUT WITH SICK FAMILY MEMBERS IN THEIR HOMES, CHILDREN OUT OF SCHOOL, AND [INAUDIBLE] DAYCARE OPTION.

THE STAFF'S ABILITY TO BE AGILE AND RESPOND TO ALL OF THESE CHALLENGES WITHOUT MISSING A BEAT IS EXTRAORDINARY.

AGAIN, IT REMINDS ME OF WHAT AN INCREDIBLE TEAM WE HAVE IN TAMARAC.

THIS YEAR WE'VE ALSO SEEN A RECORD NUMBER OF PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST, MEDIA INQUIRIES, INVESTIGATIONS, LITIGATION, AND MANY OTHER THINGS.

WHAT WE'LL SEE IN THE PRESENTATION IS THAT WE'RE STILL NOT AT THE LEVEL OF STAFFING THAT WE HAD BEFORE THE ECONOMIC CRISIS OF 2008.

COLLECTIVELY, ALL OF YOU, ALONG WITH STAFF, TYPE OF ITEMS DO NOT NORMALLY COME UP IN ONE YEAR, BUT HAPPENED TO FALL AT THE SAME TIME OVER THIS PAST YEAR, NAMELY THE CHARTER BOARD AND SENDING OUT TO THE VOTERS A REFERENDUM ON HOW WE MIGHT CHANGE THE CHARTER MOVING FORWARD.

WE NEGOTIATED ON THE FIRE AND [INAUDIBLE] CONTRACT AT THE SAME TIME.

WE DON'T USUALLY DO THAT.

WE NORMALLY HAVE THAT STAGGERED.

WE'VE ADDED THE RESULTS OF THE CENSUS, AND IN IT, WE LEARNED THAT THE CITY GREW BY 12,000 PEOPLE IN THE PAST 10 YEARS AND BECAME MORE DIVERSIFIED BY AGE AND ETHNICITY, AND WE CONTINUE TO BE A MAJORITY-MINORITY COMMUNITY, WITH 35 PERCENT OF OUR EMPLOYEES BEING BLACK, 39 PERCENT WHITE, AND 33 HISPANIC.

WITH THE CENSUS, WE ALSO HAVE TO DISCUSS REDISTRICTING, AN ISSUE THAT COMES UP EVERY 10 YEARS.

THIS HAS BEEN A UNIQUE YEAR IN MANY WAYS.

[BACKGROUND] TAMARAC IS A COMMUNITY THAT IS [INAUDIBLE] INVOLVING ITSELF WITH CHANGES IN THESE DEMOGRAPHICS.

THE CITY SERVES PEOPLE ALONG THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM: YOUNG AND MORE [INAUDIBLE], DIFFERENT NATIONALITIES, LANGUAGES, AND OUR CUSTOMER BASE IS WIDE AND DIVERSE, IN ITSELF PROVIDING MANY CHALLENGES.

BUT WE HAVE LEANED IN TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

THAT WAS JUST A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING AT HOME.

MANY TIMES WE HAD THE BACKUP OF THE PANDEMIC UNFOLDING, WHICH CONTINUES TO PRESENT UNCERTAINTY EVEN NOW.

WE'LL JUST CONTINUE, AND LIFE AS WE KNOW IT HAS BEEN CHANGED FOREVER.

WE'RE CONSTANTLY JUGGLING OUR NEW NORMAL.

IT REQUIRES AGILITY AND RESILIENCE TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND QUICKLY AND EFFECTIVELY BECAUSE, AS WE KNOW, IN TIMES OF CRISIS, PEOPLE LOOK TO THE CITY TO HELP THEM NAVIGATE THEIR CHANGING CIRCUMSTANCES.

[INAUDIBLE] THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL IMPACT OF THE WAR IN UKRAINE AND OTHER GEOPOLITICAL PRIORITIES AND CONCERNS, FINANCIAL MARKET UNCERTAINTY AND INTEREST RATE, RECORD-HIGH INFLATION, GAS AND DIESEL FUEL PRICES PERSIST.

WE HEARD ABOUT THE FED, JUST YESTERDAY, INCREASING THE INTEREST RATE AGAIN.

ALL OF THIS INSTABILITY SIGNALS THAT WE CAN EXPECT FUTURE EXPENDITURES TO BE DRIVEN UP.

WHO WOULD HAVE PREDICTED IN THIS DAY AND AGE THAT THERE WOULD BE A SHORTAGE BABY FORMULA? EXPONENTIAL INCREASE IN WORLDWIDE HUNGER ARE EXPECTED AS WELL.

THE PANDEMIC AND ALL THE ASSOCIATED OUTCOMES HAVE DEMONSTRATED IN A VERY REAL WAY HOW CONNECTED WE ALL ARE, NOT JUST IN TAMARAC, BUT THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

WE NEED TO PIVOT TO [INAUDIBLE] TO MEET WHATEVER NEW UNCERTAINTY HEADS OUR WAY.

EVERY YEAR, AS WE PUT THIS BUDGET TOGETHER, WE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHAT WE'VE LEARNED.

FROM OUR RESIDENTS, THERE'S RESIDENTS SURVEY, BUSINESS SURVEY, WE DID EMPLOYEE SURVEYS AS YOU KNOW, IN THIS YEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME WE DID A POLICE SURVEY.

WE GOT OVERWHELMINGLY POSITIVE RESULTS, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY GREAT.

SEVENTY SEVEN PERCENT OF TAMARAC RESIDENTS ARE SATISFIED WITH THE OVERALL QUALITY OF SERVICES THEY RECEIVE.

SEVENTY EIGHT PERCENT OF OUR BUSINESSES TELL TAMARAC IS BUSINESS FRIENDLY AND THEY RECOMMEND THE CITY TO OTHERS AS A GOOD PLACE TO LOCATE THEIR BUSINESS.

IN THE POLICE SURVEY, 72 PERCENT OF THE RESIDENTS FEEL PERSONALLY SAFE AND UPWARDS OF 77 PERCENT OF OUR RESIDENTS ARE CONFIDENT, TRUST, AND RESPECT TSR.

THOSE ARE THE PLACES WHERE WE DID WELL.

OVER HERE, WE HEAR THE AREAS THAT NEED IMPROVEMENTS.

RESIDENTS TOLD US THAT THEY WOULD LIKE IMPROVEMENT THAT RELATES TO TRAFFIC, STREET LIGHTING, POLICE VISIBILITY, AND CRIME PREVENTION.

IN THE BUSINESS SURVEY, WHAT THEY TOLD US WAS THAT THEY CONTINUE TO VALUE CLEANLINESS,

[00:10:01]

IN THE POLICE SURVEY, WE HEARD ABOUT VISIBILITY AGAIN, CRIME PREVENTION, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

[NOISE].

SURPRISINGLY, PRIORITIES ALIGN VERY CLOSELY WITH THOSE OF THE COMMUNITY.

THESE ARE THE ITEMS THAT WE CAME UP WITH AS STRATEGIC PLAN IN JANUARY.

AS IT RELATES TO QUALITY OF LIFE, TAXES FOR A LOT OF DIFFERENT ELEMENTS.

AS A RESULT OF THAT MEETING BACK IN JANUARY, WE PUT TOGETHER AN INTERNAL EMPLOYEES TASK FORCE THAT WAS TASKED AT LOOKING AT ISSUES ACROSS THE GOVERNMENT, INCLUDING FEEDING, COMMUNITY APPEARANCE, HOMELESSNESS, NUISANCE ISSUES AND TO RESPOND ACCORDINGLY.

THAT WOULD LEAD TO TROUBLESHOOT AND TO MAKE SOME CHANGES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

ADDITIONALLY, YOU DIRECTED THAT WE CHANGE SOME OF OUR ORDINANCES, PUT MORE TEETH INTO SOME OF THE ORDINANCES THAT WE WERE GETTING IN THINGS ABOUT INCLUDING THE [INAUDIBLE] PARTNERING WOMEN IN SPECIAL EVENTS.

THOSE ARE UNDERWAY AND WE BROUGHT UP THE SEVERAL FORMS OF READING SOME OF THEM.

NOW THAT RELATES TO TSR.

THE COST OF THE POLICE IS HOLDING STEADY WITH A 5 PERCENT INCREASE TO PACE WITH THE CLASS ESCALATION.

THE OPERATION PLANS THAT HAVE BEEN UNDERTAKEN FOCUS ON IMPORTANT AREAS LIKE BURGLARY CONVEYING AND AGGRESSIVE JARGONS MEETING HERE.

YOU HEARD THE LEVEL OF SATISFACTION THAT THE COMMUNITY HAS WITH THE POLICE, BUT THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.

THEY'RE NOT RESTING ON THE REWARD AND THEY'RE HERE FROM SUCCINATE ABOUT WHO THE THINGS THAT HAVE PLAN TO SEE THEIR SERVICES TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

WE WOULD APPLY THE CONTENT IN THE BSO FOR THEM AGAIN SO THAT WE CAN GIVE OUR POLICE OFFICERS SOME RESPECT FROM THE DEMANDS OF THE JOB.

WE ARE ECONOMIC LOSS AS WELL AND ALL RESIDENTS WILL BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE SUPPORT.

FINALLY, YOU'LL SEE THAT WE'RE CONCEALING IT TO AND EMPHASIZE SAFETY WITH A REQUEST FOR A PLAN EXAMINER THAT ALSO FEED INTO OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS INTO CREATING A MORE EFFICIENT WITH IMPACT.

AS IT RELEASED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND NEW DEVELOPMENT, THE CITIZENS NEEDS TO BE A LEADER IN THIS AREA.

WE HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF TAKING OUR PROPERTY AND SHOWING THE DEVELOPING COMMUNITY WHAT IT IS THAT THEY WANT TO SEE AS IT RELATES TO QUALITY AND STANDARDS.

WE WERE A PARTNER AND STILL ARE A PARTNER IN TAMARAC VILLAGE, WE HAVE ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL APARTMENTS THERE THAT CONTINUE ALL THE WAY DOWN CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES ON THE WEST, AND THEN WE'RE SEEKING THE PROPERTY THAT WE OWN ON UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE HIGH-END RETAIL AND RESTAURANTS IF WE TAP ALIGNMENT.

THIS CITY, UNLIKE MANY, IS REALLY THE CATALYZER OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND SHOWING THE PRIVATE SECTOR HOW IT'S DONE.

I'M PROUD TO SAY THAT WE CONTINUE TO DO THAT.

WE HAD UNDERGONE OPEN UP WITH FIVE RECRUITMENT JOBS.

I THINK THEY MADE $38 MILLION CONTRIBUTION TO THE PARK PLACE.

THIS IS AN ACHIEVEMENT FOR THE CITY IN THE WORLD JOBS.

WE HAD HCN INVESTING IN THE HOSPITAL ON UNIVERSITY DRIVE AT A LEVEL WE HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE.

THERE'S A REAL COMMITMENT IN THE VIEWERSHIP OF INVESTING IN THAT HALF MILITATING TO THE NEXT LEVEL. WE HAVE CITY FURNITURE.

THE HEADQUARTERS, THERE'S 2,000 EMPLOYEES AND THEY'LL JUST RECOGNIZE NATIONALLY AS A LEADER IN RETAIL.

WE WANT TO INVEST IN THE PARK PLACE SO THAT WE, AGAIN, CAN TELL PEOPLE, HERE'S SOME FUNDING, LETS MAKE THINGS UP.

ALSO WE HAVE THOSE INCENTIVES TO INCENTIVIZE NEW DEVELOPMENT TO COME IN AND TO MAKE SOME CHANGE IN OUR PROJECT SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO EXPAND OUR SUCCESSES.

YOU'LL SEE OUR REQUEST FOR ANOTHER EMPLOYEE IN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIVISION.

WHAT WE'VE ALSO HEARD FROM YOU AND THE COMMUNITY, IS THAT COMMUNITY APPEARANCE AND IMAGE ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND WE NEED IT TO DISPLAY.

WHAT WE SEE IN OUR CIP PAPERS IS FUNDING FROM LANDSCAPING AND ROADWAY EQUIPMENT AND TO SET UP THE ONGOING LANDSCAPING MAINTENANCE.

THOSE THINGS WERE HOPING IN.

AGAIN, THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS AND IT COSTS A LOT OF MONEY, BUT WE'RE MAKING EFFORT TO GO AHEAD AND START.

WE ALSO HAVE IN THE PROGRAM, A REQUEST FOR A BUSINESS PLAN PROGRAM FOR THEM TO LOOKS AT THE VARIOUS PLACES AS WELL.

[00:15:05]

[INAUDIBLE] IN THE TOWN OF AND CONTINUES TO BE VERY POPULAR AND RELEVANT.

THERE'S AN AGENDA ITEM THAT WE'LL CONSIDER ON THE 22ND RELATED TO REFRESHING OUR SOCIAL MEDIA APPEARANCE AND ENHANCING THE SOCIAL MEDIA WORK THAT WE'RE DOING AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO ENGAGE AND COMMUNICATE WITH THE COMMUNITY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

ANOTHER ONE I WROTE THERE IS THE CITY PARKS WHICH OUR REVENUE SLOWED DOWN AND TO KEEP FUNDING IT, AND THEY ASKED FOR A SINGLE POND IN SHAKER VILLAGE, THE CAPITAL OF PARKING LOT EXPANSION, THE AMPHITHEATER AND TAMARAC REALLY JUST TAKING SHAPE.

WE'VE ALSO ASKED FOR A PART-TIME TO FULL-TIME PARK RANGER.

WE'LL SEE THAT TOO TO JUST CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE PARKS AT A HIGHER LEVEL AND AT LEAST WE HAVE MORE PARKS NOW TOO.

AS IT RELATES TO TRANSPORTATION IN TRANSIT, WE CONTINUE TO UTILIZE REQUEST FUNDS FROM THE SURTAX, VISION ZERO BEING ONE OF THEM REQUESTING A MEETING LAST ROUND OF REQUESTS, WE FOCUSED ON SURTAX ONLY BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT IT'S ELIGIBLE SURTAX PROJECT AND THAT'S WHAT'S NEEDED IN THE COMMUNITIES.

WE HAVE APPROVAL FOR A SHUTTLE TO BEGIN OPERATING EAST OF FORT WORTH FIRST WITH ANOTHER REQUEST WITH LESS MEANING AND TO CONTINUE TO INVEST IN SMART INVESTMENTS IN TECHNOLOGY, SOFTWARE, CYBERSECURITY, AND STAFF TO PROTECT THE ORGANIZATION AND TO GAIN EFFICIENCY.

HOWEVER, WE CAN SEE A REQUEST FOR A WEBMASTER TO ENHANCE THE USER EXPERIENCE FROM THE WEBSITE PERSPECTIVE AND ANYBODY WHO'S CONNECTING VIRTUALLY.

WE CONTINUE WITH WI-FI ACCESS IN OUR PARKS.

WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS SELF-SUFFICIENCY AS IT RELATES TO FIBER PROJECT AS WE CONTINUE TO BUILD TO IT.

THEN WHAT WE HAVE TO LOOK FOR A COMMON EXTERIOR IS [INAUDIBLE] TURNING 60 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL.

THE FINAL PROCESS HERE AND THEN I'LL TURN IT OVER TO QC TOGETHER FROM UNDERWAY IS THERE IS NO CHANGE AS IT RELATES TO THE MILLAGE RATE.

WE ARE REQUESTING THAT WE MAINTAIN THE MILLAGE RATE AT 7.2000, WHICH IS WHAT IT WAS LAST YEAR, WHICH WAS THE FIRST REDUCTION THE CITY ENJOYED IN 10 YEARS.

WE THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO STAY STEADY RIGHT NOW AS THE ECONOMY IS VERY UNCERTAIN.

WE DID NOT INCREASE THE FIRES UNCERTAINTY, THE SOLID WASTE UNCERTAINTY OR THE WEAR AND TEAR UNCERTAINTY.

THOSE THINGS WE WANTED TO KEEP INTACT BUT WE WILL NEED TO LOOK AT THOSE THINGS NEXT YEAR AND WE'LL BE DOING THE STUDY OF EVERYTHING TO THE ADJUSTMENT THERE PROBABLY THE TIME IS NOW TO DO SO.

THERE'S USING THE STORM WATER ASSESSMENT FEE THAT'S TIED TO AN ORDINANCE.

THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S WITHIN THE CONTROL OF THE SAC TO SUBJECT THAT AWAY.

THAT'S REALLY, IN A NUTSHELL, WHAT IT IS, THAT'S LEGIT SEEKS DO.

IN THE MEANTIME, WHENEVER THIS IS THE NICE THINGS HE SAW RESERVES TO NAVIGATE THE UNCERTAINTIES AND STORMS THAT WE KNOW OF THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS AND PRESERVE THE EXISTING ONE DOWN IN AS MUCH AS WE CAN SO THAT WE ARE POSITIONED AND WE HAVE THE FUNDING, IF WE DO NEED TO MAKE QUICK ADJUSTMENTS UNDER DIRE CIRCUMSTANCES.

WHAT WE CONTINUE TO DO IS WE STAY FOCUSED ON OUR CORE BUSINESS AND TRUE REMISSION.

WE ARE A SERVICE ORGANIZATION.

WE ARE HERE TO PROVIDE SERVICE TO OUR RESIDENTS AND ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS THAT ARE HERE.

WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS TO CONTINUE TO PREPARE THAT WITH WHAT'S NO LONGER NECESSARY AND DOUBLE DOWN ON WHAT IS IMPORTANT.

WITH THIS ONE I'M GOING TO HAND IT OFF TO PROCEED AND CHOOSE OUR ASSISTANT SERVICE DIRECTOR TO KICK THINGS OFF AND THAT'S THE THING FOR MIT [INAUDIBLE]

>> THANK YOU.

GOOD MORNING.

[INAUDIBLE] [INAUDIBLE] TAKING THE THOUSAND FOOT LEVEL OF THE BUDGET THAT WAS HANDED OVER TO JEFF BEFORE I GIVE YOU THE SPECIFICS.

I'LL START BY TALKING ABOUT THE BUDGET STEP.

THE BUDGET HERE WE'RE GOING TO BE PROPOSING IS STATUS QUO.

OUR ENTERPRISE FUNDS REMAINS STRONG, YOU CAN COVER THE REST.

THAT'S COMING ALONG WITH THE OTHER TWO, AND OUR GENERAL [INAUDIBLE] REMAINS ENTIRELY OPERATIONAL.

OUR ONGOING REVENUE AS IN FIVE YEARS HAS NOT REASONABLY EXCEEDED ONGOING EXPENDITURE.

[00:20:08]

OUR RESERVE FROM [INAUDIBLE] SO WE'RE ABLE TO USE RESERVE TO FUND ONE HAND ITEMS LIKE OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS.

THE INCORPORATED BUDGET [INAUDIBLE] PRESENT ON THAT HERE REGARDING SOME INVENTORY EVENTS COSTS OR PERSONAL COSTS OR BENEFITS, TO ANY IMPACT OF COVID-19 HAVE BEEN ABSORBED.

OUR OPERATIONAL IMPACT HAS BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR GOING FORWARD, AT LEAST FOR NEXT TWO FORECASTING.

OUR GENERAL FUNDS THAT'S BEEN PRESENTED TO YOU, INCLUDES [INAUDIBLE] AND WE HAVE ONE POSITION THAT IS BEING UPGRADED FROM PART-TIME TO FULL-TIME.

ON THE ISSUE OF TAXES, OUR ANNUAL TAX [INAUDIBLE] IS CAPPED AT THREE PERCENT SO THERE'S THE INCREASE, THERE'S THREE PERCENT THIS YEAR AS OPPOSED TO 1.4 THAT WAS LAST YEAR.

AT THE SAME TIME, THE INFLATION RATE, WHAT WE PAY FOR GOODS AND SERVICES, HAS GONE UP THIS PAST MAY, IT'S NOW 8.6 PERCENT.

HAPPILY [INAUDIBLE] THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION HAS ALSO PASSED 400$ PER SQUARE FEET SO OUR TOTAL PROJECTS ARE CURRENT WITH THE RISING COST, SO THE ONES THAT HAVE NOT STARTED YET, THE COSTS THAT WE ESTIMATED MAY BE HIGHER AND ONE OF OUR ONGOING WE MAY HAVE TO PUT ADDITIONAL FUNDS IN ORDER TO COMPETE THIS PROJECT.

OUR [INAUDIBLE] MANAGEMENT REMAINS CRUCIAL FOR EIGHT PERCENT INCREASE AS WE PREPARE [INAUDIBLE] THE WAR AND OTHER THINGS, SO WE'VE ESTIMATED [INAUDIBLE] WITH THE WAR AND RISING INFLATION, WE REALLY DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE AT SO WE USE THE BETTER PART OF [INAUDIBLE] TO ESTIMATE WHAT WE THINK OUR COSTS ARE GOING TO BE GOING FORWARD.

FOR CENTRAL PROJECTS, YOU WILL SEE THAT ON OCTOBER 2020 WE DEFERRED [INAUDIBLE] PROJECTS, SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS, [INAUDIBLE] THAT GIVES US SOME RESERVE SO WE'RE ABLE TO BRING BACK SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS THAT WE DEFERRED THAT WE NEED, AND YOU WILL SEE THOSE IN THE BUDGET THAT IS BEING PROPOSED.

IN TERMS OF REAL ESTATE VALUE, OUR NEW CAPITAL VALUE [INAUDIBLE] ABOUT $6.25 MILLION AND THE GOOD POINT ABOUT THAT OF THAT $6.25 MILLION.

ONE PROPERTY BECAUSE THE AMAZON SECURITY [INAUDIBLE] $8 MILLION OF THAT INCREASE.

WE HAVE OTHERS THAT WE EXPECT FOR NEXT YEAR, MAYBE COME UP [INAUDIBLE] SO WE EXPECT TO HAVE SOME INCREASE IN THE YEAR TO COME.

IN TERMS OR OUR MID RANGE, NO WE SAID [INAUDIBLE] BEST VALUE OF OUR COMPANY IN RESPECT THAT WE HAVE A [INAUDIBLE] CERTIFICATE.

CAN I IMMEDIATELY OR CONFIRM LATER.

THE MEDIA IN THE COMMENTS [INAUDIBLE] IS THE THIRD LOWEST IN THE COUNTY, THE CONDOMINIUM ARE THE FOURTH LOWEST IN THE COUNTY, AND THAT IS TO START [INAUDIBLE] TAXES.

HERE IS A SNAPSHOT OF WHAT THE TYPICAL TAX RATE WILL BE FOR THE MEDIAN TAX RECOVERY.

HERE WE GAVE A SNAPSHOT OF WHAT THE MEDIAN IS, HOW MUCH IS REQUIRED TO YOU TO DOWN-PAY.

WE SHOW THE AVERAGE, AS A COMPARISON BUT AVERAGE.

WE HAVE PROPERTIES IN TEDMARK THAT ARE [INAUDIBLE] $700,000 SO THAT IS WHAT I RECALL [INAUDIBLE] FOR 150 [INAUDIBLE] 358.

WE WANT TO GIVE IT COMPARISON WITH A COPY TO SHOW YOU WHERE WE ARE AT AND COMPARING IT WITH A COUNTY WHEN MEDIAN PER COUNTY IS COMPARED TO 100, AND THEN HALFWAY IS 277763 WHICH IS [INAUDIBLE] BEHIND OUR MILITARY.

SIMPLE TAX BAIL FOR NEITHER PROPERTY [INAUDIBLE] IS $1,817 AND SIXTY EIGHT CENTS.

HERE WE HAVE ANOTHER COMPARISON OF PER CAPITAL TAXES DELIVERY,

[00:25:02]

SO WITH THAT I'M GOING TO NOW TURN TO JEFF [INAUDIBLE]

>> THANK YOU CHRISTINE.

ON THE RECORD JUST [INAUDIBLE] END-USER SERVICES DEPARTMENT, THE 2023 PROPOSED BUDGET FOR OUR FUNDS IS $243.6 MILLION INTO THE GENERAL FUND, IT'S $78.2 MILLION.

THE GENERAL FUND BY [INAUDIBLE] INCLUDES PROPERTY TAX REVENUE DERIVED FROM THE SOUTHERN 0.20 MILEAGE RATE IS BEING RECOMMENDED IN [INAUDIBLE] THAT IS IN FOR 2022.

POSITION CHANGES SPECIFICS WERE MADE VERY JUDICIOUSLY AND PUTTING TOGETHER THIS LOGIC.

SO THERE ARE LIMITED NEW POSITIONS OR CHANGES.

SPECIFICALLY THOSE CHANGES ARE IN ISSUES OF ONE FULL TIME [INAUDIBLE] AND THAT WILL BE THE GENERAL FUND.

THE ADDITION OF ONE FULL-TIME IN WEBMASTER IN THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE AND THAT WOULD BE IN THE GENERAL FUND.

THE ADDITION OF ONE FULL-TIME ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR AGAIN IN THE GENERAL FUND.

IN CONVERTING A ONE PART-TIME PARTNERING TO FULL-TIME AND ALSO IN THE GENERAL FUND.

ANY CLASS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY OF A NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR THROUGH TO A NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGER, AND LAST, THE FINAL RESCUE FUND IS THE ADDITION OF ONE FULL-TIME [INAUDIBLE] AND YOU'LL BE HEARING MORE ABOUT THESE POSITION REQUESTS AND WHAT'S DRIVING THE NEED FOR THEM AND THEY WILL HAVE IN THE DEPARTMENT OF HIGHLIGHTS PORTION OF THE PRESENTATION, AND WHAT THIS SHOWS YOU, EVEN THOUGH WE'RE PROPOSING A THREE NEW POSITIONS TO THE GENERAL FUND AS A RESULT OF THE INCREASE IN THE POPULATION [INAUDIBLE] IS EXPERIENCED, THE GENERAL FUND, FTE, FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT FOR THOUSANDS OF POPULATION IS GOING DOWN DRAMATICALLY.

IT'S GOING DOWN FROM 3.13 DOWN TO 2.90 FOR 2023.

WHAT THIS ALSO SHOWS YOU IS THAT AFTER THE REDUCTION OF FORCE [INAUDIBLE] TO OCCUR AS A RESULT OF THE RECESSION IN 2008.

[INAUDIBLE] THE INCREASE IN THE GENERAL FUND FTE PER THOUSANDS IF NOT KEEP UP, IT FALL SHORT KEEPING UP WITH THE POPULATION LEVEL.

THIS IS A TABLE OF THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR ALL FUNDS BY MAJOR FUND CATEGORY.

BEFORE ANYONE POSING THE CARDIAC ARREST OVER A STICKER TRACK THE $20.4 MILLION INCREASE FROM 22-23.

MOST OF THAT IS DRIVEN BY AN INCREASED LEVEL OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS REQUIRING TRANSFER FROM THE GENERAL FUND AND ALSO AN INCREASED LEVEL OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS IN THE UTILITY'S FUNDS.

UTILITY IS PROPOSING $6 MILLION MORE IN CAPITAL PROJECTS THAN LAST YEAR AND THERE'S $3 MILLION MORE IN PROJECTS THAT REQUIRE GENERAL FUNDRAISE FOR BEING PROPOSED SO THAT'S $9 MILLION MORE PROJECTS.

YOU HAVE TO ALSO WANT IT FOR THE TRANSFER SO THAT NORMALLY COMES FROM $18 MILLION OF THAT $20.4 MILLION INTEREST.

IT ALSO SHOWS THE INDIVIDUAL CHANGES FROM YEAR TO YEAR FOR EACH ONE OF THE MAJOR CATEGORIES AND FUNDS.

I'LL BE TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT THOSE LATER PARTICIPATION AND LOOKING AT WHAT'S DRIVING EACH ONE OF THEM.

HERE'S WHAT THE REVENUES LOOK LIKE IN THE GENERAL FUND FOR THE 2022 PROPOSAL BUDGET.

YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE IS A $3.6 MILLION INCREASE IN PROPERTY TAXES BUDGET.

THAT'S BECAUSE THE JULY ESTIMATE SHOWED THAT THE CITY OF TAMARAC HAVING 11.24 PERCENT INCREASE IN CITY TOTAL TAXABLE VALUE.

FOR LOCAL ARTIST WHO USES FUEL TAXES, IT'S PRETTY MUCH NOT A LARGE CHANGE.

[00:30:03]

THE CHANGE THAT YOU SEE IN THE FRANCHISE FEES, THAT IS DRIVEN PRIMARILY BY THE TEMPORALLY 2505.THAT WAS ON THE FIRST READING AT THE LAST COMMISSION MEETING FOR WESLEY TOWING, THE WESLEY TOWING FRANCHISE FEE REVENUE IS REFLECTED THERE IN THAT $77 THOUSAND OFFER THAT'S THE MAIN DRIVE OF THAT OFFER AND SOME OTHER LITTLE CHANGES THAT ACCOUNT FOR THE REST OF IT.

THE OTHER LARGE CHANGE YOU SEE IS IN THE MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE AND THAT'S DUE TO LOSS OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS POWER.

REVENUE TO SEE WAS INFORMED THAT SOME CONTRACTS WILL NOT BE RENEWED EFFECTIVE JUNE OF 2022, AND THAT REDUCTION ACCOUNTS FOR THOSE CONTRACTS ARE NOTHING NEW.

THE BIG AREA OF THE WALL IS THE APPROPRIATION TO FUND BOUNDS.

THAT INCREASE IS 3.3 MILLION FROM THE AMENDED 2022 LEVEL.

THAT BASICALLY REFLETS, THE INCREASE IN CAPITAL PROJECTS REQUIRING TRANSFER FROM THE GENERAL FUND.

BECAUSE WE'RE INCREASING CAPITAL PRIVATES THAT REQUIRE TRANSFERRING IN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FUND, WE HAVE INCREASED THE APPROPRIATIONS FOR FUND BALANCE TO BE ABLE TO FUND THOSE.

IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO FUND THE LEVEL OF PRIVATE-SECTOR PLAN, WE REQUIRE PRINCIPLE FROM THE GENERAL FUND, MAINTAINING CURRENT SERVICE LEVELS.

BECAUSE OF INFLATION, AND BECAUSE OF SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES PAY MORE FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO AND EVERYTHING YOU BUY.

DESPITE A $3.6 MILLION INCREASE IN BUDGET AND PROPERTY TAX REVENUE TO DO ALL THAT, YOU STILL NEED TO APPROPRIATE ALMOST $8 MILLION FROM YOUR SAVINGS.

IF YOU TAKE AWAY ANYTHING FROM THIS SLIDE, THAT'S WHAT I WOULD LIKE YOU TO TAKE AWAY FROM THIS SLIDE HERE'S A HISTORY OF TOTAL TAXABLE VALUE CHANGE FOR THE CITY OF TAMARAC.

WHAT IT SHOWS IS IT TOOK NEARLY A DECADE, A FULL DECADE, TO GO THROUGH A PERIOD OF RAPID DECLINE AND THEN FIND OUT FROM THE BOTTOM.

THE FIRST YEAR THAT THE CITY REACHED A LEVEL OF TAXABLE VALUE THAT WAS SIMILAR TO BEFORE THAT, IT'S NOT ON THE CHART, BUT THE RECESSION STARTED IN 2008, THE FIRST YEAR THERE WAS A LOSS OF TAXABLE VALUE WAS 2009 AND THE TAXABLE VALUE AT THAT TIME WAS SIMILAR TO WHAT IT IS OF 2018.

IT TOOK [INAUDIBLE] AND THEN CLIMB OFF FROM THE BOTTOM.

TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT PHYSICAL YEAR 2023, AGAIN AS I SAID EARLIER, WE HAD AN INCREASE OF APPROXIMATELY 11.24 PERCENT THAT ADDED TO $533.8 BILLION TO THE TAX RULES.

SPECIFICALLY, 3.1 MILLION OF THAT CAME FROM NEW CONSTRUCTION VALUE AND AS CHRISTINE MENTIONED EARLIER, 35.8 CAME FROM THE AMAZON AND FACILITY ALONE.

NOW, YOU CAN'T EXPECT EVERY YEAR TO GET 35.8 MILLION OUT OF ONE SINGLE PROPERTY.

GOING FORWARD IN THE FUTURE, YOU PROBABLY EXPECT THEIR CONTRIBUTION FROM NEW CONSTRUCTION TO START TAKING THEM OFF.

THAT WILL BE A MULTIPLE, ASSUMPTION.

THIS TABLE SHOWS THE TAXABLE VALUES AND HOW THAT'S DISTRIBUTED IN THE CITY ACROSS DIFFERENT PROPERTY TAX.

THERE'S ONE NUMBER THERE AS WELL AS PERCENTAGES.

LET ME JUST GIVE YOU THE SIMPLE TAKEAWAY FROM THIS CHART.

THE FIRST IS THAT THE TAX BURDEN OF X SHIPS TWO SHIPPING TIMES IMPROVES SINGLE FAMILY, MORE AND MORE ACADEMIC GROUPS, SINGLE FAMILY.

THE TAX BURDEN IS A LOT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE DOING THE SAME THING WITH COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY.

WHAT YOU WANT IS YOU WANT MORE COMMERCIAL-INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY.

YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THE TAX BASE KEEP SHIFTING GREATER AND GREATER TO THE SINGLE IMPROVED SINGLE-FAMILY NORMS. YOU WANT TO DIVERSIFY THE TAX BASE BECAUSE YOU TEND TO GET MORE TAXES FROM COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY.

WHAT IT'S SHOWING YOU IS IT BASICALLY REINFORCES THAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO BE KEY TO THE CITY.

[00:35:04]

LESS OF THIS TABLE IS SHOWING ME THAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IS SOMEWHERE THAT YOU REALLY NEED TO PUT SOME [INAUDIBLE] SO YOU CAN CHECK UP THE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY TAX REVENUE THAT YOU CAN DERIVE FROM YOUR TAX BASE.

HERE'S ANOTHER TABLE, WHAT THIS TABLE SHOWS YOU IS IT COMPARES THE VALUES, MARKET VALUES, STAY-AT-HOME VALUES, AND TAXABLE VALUES TOGETHER WITH THE AVERAGES FOR EACH AND COMPARES LAST YEAR TO THIS YEAR.

FIRST OF ALL, YOU CAN SEE THAT YOU HAVE ABOUT SIX FEET OUT OF ABOUT 68 NEW SINGLE-FAMILY PROPERTIES AND THERE WERE NO NEW PROPERTIES.

THEN AS WITH DOWN THE BAR AND YOU'LL SEE THAT THAT'S THE ONLY DIFFERENTIAL, THAT VALUE IS THE AMOUNT THAT WAS LOST OR DIVERTED AWAY FROM BEING SUBJECT TO TAXATION DUE TO THE STATE OF HOMES PROGRAM AND THE LINE UNDERNEATH THAT ADDS TO THE VALUE THAT'S LOST OR DIVERTED FROM A WAVE WOULD BE SUBJECT TO TAXATION FROM EXEMPTIONS.

NOW LOOKING AT THIS TABLE, THE INCREASE IN MARKET VALUE, THE INCREASE IN STAY-AT-HOME VALUE, AND TAXABLE VALUE FOR BOTH SINGLE-FAMILY IN CONDOMINIUMS IS FAIRLY IMPRESSIVE, IS PRETTY NICE PERCENTAGE WELL, TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WAS LOST OR DIVERTED FROM TAXATION.

THAT AMOUNT WOULD RULE A HIGHER RATE THAN ALL THE OTHER THE MARKET VALUE, STAY AT HOME VALUE COMPARED TO WHAT IT IS DERIVED FROM THE HIGHEST OF THE PERCENTAGE.

IT MAKES IT MORE CHALLENGING TO GET TAX REVENUE FROM TAX PAYS WHEN YOU HEAR THIS KIND OF THING HAPPENING.

WHEN YOU HAVE THE VALUE THAT'S DIVERTED FROM TAXATION GROWING FASTER THAN ANY OTHER VALUE, THAT'S NOT TAXATION GROWING.

IT JUST MAKES IT HARDER AND HARDER TO DERIVE TAXES FROM THE RIGHT PLACE.

IT MAKES SENSE, RIGHT? WHEN AS PART OF THE PRELIMINARY PROCESS, THE CITY IS REQUIRED TO FILE A FORM WITH THE STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE PROPERTIES TAX OVERSIGHT DIVISION.

THAT EVIDENCE IS WITH THE GOVERNING BODY ADOPTED BY THE MILITARY WITH THE CORRECT GOAL, WITH THE CORRECT NUMBER OF AFFIRMATIVE VOTES.

IN ANY FORM, THERE'S A FEW RATES THAT YOU NEED TO SHOW.

YOU NEED TO SHOW THE ROLLBACK RATE, YOU NEED TO SHOW THE MAJORITY VOTE RATE, AND YOU NEED TO SHOW THE MILITARY RATE THAT YOU ARE HAVING.

ALL OF THESE THAT I'M GOING TO GO OVER WITH YOU TODAY ARE BASED ON JUNE 1.

WHEN WE BRING YOU THE PRELIMINARY MILLAGE RATE, IN JULY 14TH WHEN WE WILL BE BRINGING BACK RESOLUTION.

THESE RATES ARE GOING TO SHIFT A LITTLE BIT SO YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A SMALL CHANGE IN THOSE BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE BASED ON JULY 1ST.

SO EXPECT A CHANGE IN WHAT YOU'LL SEE ON THE 13TH WHEN YOU OPEN.

LET'S TAKE THE ROLLBACK. WHAT'S THE ROLLBACK RATE? THE ROLLBACK RATE IS A MULTIPLICATION RATE THAT WHEN APPLIED TO THE NEW TAXABLE VALUE AFTER LETTING OUT WHAT WAS CONTRIBUTED BY NEW CONSTRUCTION GENERATES THE SAME LEVEL OF REVENUE AS THE YEAR BEFORE.

THE ROLL-BACK RATE THERE ARE TWO FACTORS.

AFFECT THE ROLLBACK RATE, ONE OBVIOUSLY IS THE INCREASE IN THE TAXABLE VALUE.

THE HIGHER THE INCREASE IN TAXABLE VALUE, THE STRONGER THE PRESSURE DOWNWARD ON THE ROLLBACK RATE.

LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN.

THE HIGHER THE INCREASE IN TAXABLE VALUE, THE STRONGER THE PRESSURE DOWNWARD ON THE ROLLBACK RATE.

THE OTHER FACTOR IS THE AMOUNT OF VALUE THAT COMES FROM NEW CONSTRUCTION.

GENERALLY THE HIGHER VALUE, FROM A NEW CONSTRUCTION,

[00:40:02]

WHAT WE HAVE FOR THE CALCULATED ROLLBACK RATE FOR 2023 AT THIS POINT IN TIME, THE ROLLBACK RATE WOULD BE 6.500 PERCENT.

REMEMBER BACK TO LAST YEAR, THE ROLLBACK RATE WAS 6.8419.

THE TAX RATE WAS 7.29 PERCENT INCREASE IN TAXABLE VALUE.

THIS YEAR YOU HAVE IN 11.4 PERCENT INCREASE IN TAXABLE VALUE SO THERE'S A LOT OF DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON THE ROLLBACK.

THAT'S WHY THE ROLLBACK RATE IS AS LOW AS IT IS.

AFTER THE ROLLBACK RATE THE CHANGE IN BUDGETED TAX REVENUE WOULD ONLY BE AN INCREASE OF $141,000 FROM WHAT'S BUDGETED THIS YEAR.

IF THE CITY WAS TO HAVE IT [INAUDIBLE].

THE NEXT RATE THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE ON THE FORM IS THE MAJORITY GROWTH RATE.

THE MAJORITY GROWTH RATE IS THE ROLLBACK RATE, TIMES THE FLORIDA GROWTH IN PERSONAL PER CAPITA INCOME.

THAT'S GIVEN TO THE MUNICIPALITIES BY THE DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE.

THAT ONE WAS 1.0613 THIS YEAR SO YOU TAKE THE ROLLBACK RATE TIMES 1.0613 AND THAT GIVES YOU THAT 6.8991 MAJORITY GROWTH RATE.

THAT IS THE HIGHEST GROWTH RATE THAT CAN BE ADAPTED WITH A SIMPLE MAJORITY VOTE.

THAT RATE WILL GENERATE 2.1 MILLION DOLLARS OR RESULT IN BUDGETED REVENUE OF 2.1 MILLION DOLLARS MORE THAN WHAT'S IN THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 BUDGET.

ANY RATE BETWEEN 6.8991 AND 7.5890 WOULD REQUIRE A SIMPLE MAJORITY IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO PASS.

A SIMPLE MAJORITY IS TWO-THIRD BUT THE WAY THAT THE COMMISSION IS STRUCTURED, THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN HAVE TWO-THIRDS AT ALL.

A SIMPLE MAJORITY FOR THIS CITY COMMISSION IS ONE-THIRD.

ANY MORTGAGE RATE WORKING ABOVE 7.5890 WOULD REQUIRE A UNANIMOUS VOTE.

NOW, I TOOK A LOOK AT ALL OF THE ADOPTED TOTAL MORTGAGE RATES FOR ALL OF THE BROWARD COUNTY CITIES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022 AND TAMARAC RATED TENTH HIGHEST MORTGAGE RATES BASED ON FISCAL YEAR 2020 JUNE ADOPTED BUDGETS.

IF YOU CAN SEE WHAT SOME OF THE OTHER CITIES ARE EITHER HIGHER OR LOWER.

NOW, BECAUSE OF THIS PRINCIPLE, WE NEED MORE GROWTH REVENUE TO BE GENERATED WE NEED TO RATION SMALLER PACK DAYS.

EVEN THOUGH ONE IN ONE CITIES HAD A LOWER GROWTH RATE THAN TAMARAC, ONLY SIX CITIES HAD LOWER TAXES LEVIED ON LIVING CONDOMINIUM.

ONLY FIVE CITIES HAD A LOWER MEDIAN TAXABLE VALUE ON A SINGLE FAMILY.

ONLY FOUR CITIES HAVE A LOWER READING TAXABLE VALUE OF A CONDOMINIUM.

KEEP IN MIND THAT'S WITH 21 CITIES HAVING A LOWER MORTGAGE RATE.

THAT'S THE RESULT BECAUSE OF THAT PRINCIPLE.

THIS CHART SHOWS VARIOUS RATINGS OF TAXES PAID TO THE CITY AND WHAT YOU CAN SEE IS THE NUMBER OF TAXPAYERS THAT PAID BETWEEN 0-1,000 KEEPS GOING DOWN AND DOWN BY PERCENTAGE.

IN 2021 APPROXIMATELY 74 PERCENT OF TAXPAYERS PAID $1,000 A MONTH.

[00:45:08]

IF YOU TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT EACH ONE OF THE RANGES, YOU CAN SEE THAT FEWER AND FEWER PROPERTIES ARE IN THE LOWER RANGES, AND MORE AND MORE PROPERTIES MOVE TO THE HIGHER RANGES.

THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE AND THIS IS HAPPENING BECAUSE WITH THE INFLATIONARY INCREASE IN VALUE OF PROPERTIES AND ALSO SOME PROPERTIES THERE ARE TRANSFERRING COMING ON SAVE THEIR HOMES PROBABLY I CAN'T SLEEP IN A HOME THAT'S A HIGHER VALUE.

THE SIZE OF THE DECREASE FROM '22 TO '23 OF THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT PAID 0-1,000, IS GREATER THAN THE SIZE OF THE DECREASE FROM '21 AND '22 AND THAT COULD BE EXPECTED BECAUSE BETWEEN '21 AND '22, YOU HAD A GROWTH IN TAXABLE VALUE OF 7.29.

NOW THIS YEAR WE'RE HAVING GROWTH OF TAXABLE VALUE OF 11.24 SO YOU WOULD SEE MORE AND MORE PROPERTIES MOVING TO THOSE HIGHER LEVEL AND LESS AND LESS BETWEEN 0-1,000.

THIS SHOWS YOU WHAT THE IMPACT OF MAINTAINING THE 7.200 MORTGAGE RATE WOULD BE FOR VARIOUS PROPERTY OWNERS ON THOSE SAVE OUR HOMES PROGRAM.

IT ADDRESSES SAVE OUR HOMES VALUES OF 75,000 TAXABLE VALUES OF 25,000, ALL THE WAY UP TO SAVE OUR HOMES VALUES OF 500,000, AND TAXABLE VALUES OF 450,000.

THAT'S WHY THAT WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO START TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THE MEDIAN SINGLE HOME VALUE, WHAT THE IMPACT WOULD BE ON A HOME OWNER THAT EXPERIENCED A CHANGE IN VALUE AT THE MEDIAN.

AT THE MEDIAN, THAT HOMEOWNER WOULD HAVE HAD A VALUE OF $138,029 IN 2022 AND PAID OF TAXES IS 9381, 7.2000.

WITH THE SAVE OUR HOMES, THE GROWTH YEAR TO YEAR IS THREE PERCENT.

JUST SO YOU UNDERSTAND, SAVE OUR HOMES PROGRAM THAT CAME UP AN ACT IS DETERMINED IF YOU GET CPI OF THREE PERCENT, WHATEVER IS LOWER AND THE DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE SETS THAT BASED ON THE JANUARY CPI NUMBER FOR THE YEAR.

OBVIOUSLY THIS YEAR CPI WAS WAY ABOVE THREE PERCENT SO YOU'LL GET THREE PERCENT.

THAT PERSON SAVE OUR HOMES VALUE WOULD JUMP UP TO A 193,670 AFTER EXEMPTIONS.

THE TAXABLE VALUE WOULD BE 143,670, LEVIED TOTAL TAXES OF $1034.42 OR $40.61 INCREASE FOR THE WHOLE YEAR THAT'S BETWEEN $94 A MONTH.

BETWEEN 2-4 DOLLARS A MONTH.

NEXT IN THE MEETING, NOW TAKE A LOOK AT SOMEONE WHO EXPERIENCED A $15,000 INCREASE IN VALUE.

BUYING LINE IN A [INAUDIBLE] THE IMPACT ON THE PROPERTY OWNER THAT EXPERIENCED SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD ONLY BE $108,000 FOR A YEAR.

THAT'S ONLY LIKELY NINE DOLLARS A MONTH I'LL LEAVE THAT UP THERE SO YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AND SEE WHAT THE IMPACT WOULD BE ON SOME OF THE OTHER VALUES, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO GO OVER EACH ONE ONE BY ONE.

NOW, WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS THE TOP EIGHT NEIGHBORHOODS OR COMMUNITIES WITH THE LARGEST NUMBER OF SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES WITH A TAXABLE VALUE OVER 300,000.

IT SHOWS YOU WHAT THE COMMUNITIES WERE IN 2022, HOW MANY PROPERTIES WERE OVER 300,000, AND WHERE THEY RANK AS FAR AS [INAUDIBLE].

FOR 2023, THE SAME COMMUNITIES ARE IN THE TOP EIGHT.

OBVIOUSLY, THE NUMBER OF PROPERTIES OVER 300,000 IS DIFFERENT, BUT THE COMMUNITIES MOVED AROUND IN SOME OF THE RANKINGS.

[00:50:02]

RECALL EARLIER IN THE PRESENTATION, I SHOWED YOU HERE A TABLE THAT HAD THE PROPOSED BUDGET BY MAJOR FUND CATEGORY.

THE CHANGE TO THE GENERAL FUND IS AT $6,765,920.

WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT EACH ONE OF THESE INCREASES AND DECREASES.

THE CITY MANAGER IS INCREASING BY 17.66 PERCENT.

WHAT'S DRIVING THAT IS THE TWO POSITIONS THAT ARE BEING REQUESTED, THE WEBMASTER AND THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR.

THE MONEY THAT'S NEEDED FOR THOSE POSITIONS IS BEING BUDGETED THERE.

ALTHOUGH THAT'S BEING PROPOSED FOR 2023, IT'S GOING TO BE BROUGHT TO YOU IN THE BUDGET AMENDMENT NOVEMBER.

THE GRANT ADMINISTRATOR POSITION WILL BE MOVED OUT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES AND UP INTO THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, SO THE MONEY GETS TO GO WITH THE POSITION.

THOSE THREE THINGS ARE WHAT'S DRIVING THAT $487,000 INCREASE IN THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE.

OBVIOUSLY, IN THE FINANCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT, THERE'S A NEW REQUEST FOR A POSITION.

WE'RE REQUESTING A MANAGEMENT BUDGETING. THERE'S TWO POSITIONS.

IN HUMAN RESOURCES, YOU'VE GOT AN 8.13 PERCENT INCREASE.

THAT'S PRIMARILY BECAUSE HUMAN RESOURCES IS PROPOSING FUNDING FOR A CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION STUDY.

THEY NEED FUNDING TO NEGOTIATE AN FTE CONTRACT THAT WILL BE EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 2023, AND THEY'RE PROPOSING FUNDING FOR CULTURAL COMPETENCY TRAINING IN FISCAL YEAR 2022.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, WHAT'S MAINLY DRIVING THAT IS THEY'RE PROPOSING A NON-RESIDENTIAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

THE POLICE SERVICES BUDGET AND INCREASE, THE DEMAND LETTER INCLUDED AN AMOUNT THAT WAS 5.05 PERCENT GREATER THAN WHAT WAS BUDGETED FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022 FOR POLICE SERVICES.

ALSO, WHAT WE HAVE IN THE BUDGET FOR POLICE SERVICES IS THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MOTORCYCLE GARAGE, AND THAT'S NOT BEING DONE IN THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDS BECAUSE THAT'S NOT THE MOST VALUABLE PROJECT.

IT COULD BE COMPLETED THE LAST ONE HERE.

PUBLIC SERVICES, THAT INCREASE IS MAINLY DRIVEN BY THE FACT THAT THE CONTRACT OF OUR MEETINGS WITH SFM IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE REBID.

THE COST OF THAT IS SHARED BETWEEN THE GENERAL FUND AND STORMWATER, SO THEY'RE ASKING ME AN INCREASE IN WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT CONTRACT.

THAT'S REFLECTED IN THAT DIFFERENCE THERE IN THE PUBLIC SERVICES ACT AS NORMAL POSITION.

THAT'S [INAUDIBLE].

THEN IN PARKS AND REC, YOU'VE GOT A $541,000 INCREASE.

SOME OF THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE CHANGES IN THE PERSONNEL COSTS THEY'RE ALSO REQUESTING.

THEY'VE GOT A MAJOR CHANGE.

THE SCHOOL MANAGEMENT CONTRACT IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE REBID.

THE INFORMATION THAT THEY'RE GIVING IS THAT IT'S GOING TO COST SIGNIFICANTLY MORE THROUGH THAT CONTRACT BECAUSE OF INFLATION AND OTHER ISSUES.

YOU'LL HERE MORE ABOUT THAT SPECIFICALLY WHEN PARKS AND REC DOES THEIR PRESENTATION.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IS INCREASING.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY MANAGES OVER 200 SUPPORT MAINTENANCE CONTRACTS.

THEY TEND TO BE CYCLICAL IN NATURE, AND 2023 JUST HAPPENS TO BE THE HIGH-END CYCLICALITY FOR A LOT OF THOSE CONTRACTS.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU'RE SEEING THOSE INCREASE YEAR OVER YEAR IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.

ALSO, THEY'RE PROPOSING BOLSTERING PHYSICAL AND NETWORK SECURITY.

YOU'LL HEAR MORE ABOUT THAT IN JUNE'S PRESENTATION WHEN [INAUDIBLE] THIS AFTERNOON.

[00:55:06]

EACH ONE OF THOSE INCREASES WITH YOU, THAT IS THE NUMBER YOU SAW IN THE EARLIER CHART.

THERE'S AN INCREASE TO THAT CATEGORY, 6,765,920.

NOW, FOR THE SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS, THEY'RE BEING PROPOSED COLLECTIVELY AT $36,389,867.

FIRE RESCUE, THAT'S INCREASING FOR COUPLE OF REASONS.

NUMBER 1 IS THEY'RE A LARGE DEPARTMENT WITH NEARLY 120 FTE, SO JUST INCREASE FOR PAYROLL, FOR SALARY AND BENEFITS IS A LARGE NUMBER IN ITSELF.

THEY ALSO ARE FINDING OUT THAT THE VEHICLES THAT THEY HAD PLANNED FOR REPLACEMENT, THE ESTIMATES THAT THEY'RE GETTING FOR THOSE DUE TO A LACK OF AVAILABILITY, THE SUPPLY CHAIN LIKE AVAILABILITY, INFLATION, EVERYTHING, THERE'S AN INCREASE FROM WHAT THEY WANTED A YEAR AGO OR MAYBE TWO YEARS AGO.

FIRE NOW HAS TO TRANSFER A LOT MORE MONEY FROM FUND 301 TO BE ABLE TO HAVE MONEY IN THAT FUND AVAILABLE AT THE TIME THESE VEHICLES BECOME READY FOR PURCHASE AT A MUCH HIGHER PRICE.

SO THE ANNUAL APPROPRIATION THAT HAS TO BE SET ASIDE EACH YEAR IS MUCH LARGER THAN IT WAS LAST YEAR.

THAT'S WHAT'S DRIVING SOME OF THAT INCREASE.

THEN OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE OF INFLATION AND SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES, THEY HAVE TO PAY MORE FOR ALL THE SUPPLY.

THE CHANGE IN THE PUBLIC ART FUND IS BECAUSE LAST YEAR THEY WERE SOME PUBLIC ART GRAPHICS THAT WERE BUDGETED.

THIS YEAR, THE BUDGET JUST CONSISTS OF A $300,000 CONTINGENCY, $50,000 FOR ART MAINTENANCE AND $50,000 FOR THE [INAUDIBLE] CONTRACT.

NO REAL MAJOR CHANGE TO THE LOCAL OPTION GAS TAX FUND.

THE TRANSPORTATION SURTAX FUND, THAT'S A DRAMATIC CHANGE.

THAT'S BECAUSE LAST YEAR, WE BUDGETED PROJECTS FROM THAT FUND THAT WE THOUGHT WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR SURTAX FUNDING.

LATER FOUND OUT THAT THEY WEREN'T.

SO THIS YEAR, WE'RE NOT BUDGETING ANYTHING IN THAT FUND.

THE NEXT CYCLE OF SURTAX PROJECTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE BUDGETED SOMEWHERE AROUND FISCAL YEAR 2027.

I'LL GET INTO THAT LATER ON WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE CAPITAL PROJECTS, BUT ANY PROJECTS THAT WERE SIMILAR THAT WERE IN THE FORECASTED BUDGETABLE SURTAX NOW HAVE TO BE BUDGETED IN THE CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT FUND.

THE CHANGE IN THE BUILDING FUND, THAT'S PRIMARILY JUST BECAUSE THEY RECENTLY INCREASED THE AMOUNT THAT THEY NEED FOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEWS FROM [INAUDIBLE].

IF YOU RECALL, THERE WAS A RESOLUTION.

WE DID A BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR IT.

I THINK THERE WAS A $35,000 CHANGE THERE.

THEN THE REST OF IT IS JUST TO PAY MORE FOR THINGS AND THE INCREASE FOR SETTLEMENTS AND BENEFITS FOR THE DEPARTMENT.

THAT'S WHAT MAKES UP THAT INCREASE.

THE INCREASE IN HOME NSP, CDBG COMBINED, THAT'S MAINLY BECAUSE THE AMOUNT THAT WERE ESTIMATED TO RECEIVE FOR HOME FUND OR OUTSIDE FOR SHIP FUNDS THIS YEAR FOR 2023 IS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE THAN WHAT WE RECEIVED IN 2022.

I THINK SHIP IN 2022 WAS ABOUT 450,000, AND IT'S GONE UP TO ABOUT $680,000 IN 2023.

SO THAT'S THAT CHANGE.

THE LAST CHANGE IS IN OTHER FUNDS.

OTHER FUNDS IS THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IMPACT FEE FUND.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WANTS TO KEEP THE FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYER PROGRAM AND ACTUALLY INCREASE IT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023.

SOME OF THE MONEY WASN'T DISPERSED IN 2022.

IT NEEDS TO BE REAPPROPRIATED FOR 2023, AND THEY'RE ADDING AN ADDITIONAL AMOUNT.

[01:00:02]

THAT'S THE $150,000 CHANGE AS SEEN IN THE AFFORDABLE IMPACT FEE FUND.

IT'S ADDING $150,000 FOR THE FIRST TIME [INAUDIBLE].

[NOISE] A FURTHER QUICK ONE.

THIS IS THE DEBT SERVICE FUND.

WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED IS $2,541,249.

THAT'S SIMPLY BECAUSE OF ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYMENTS FOR ONE OF THE BONDS.

THE LAST STATEMENT WAS IN FISCAL YEAR 2022, AND THAT DROPS A LOT FROM FISCAL YEAR 2022.

THAT'S THE KEY, JUST PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST FOR ONE BOND DROPPING OFF.

THE CAPITAL FUND ARE PROPOSED AT $14,063,018.

THE CHANGE IN THE CAPITAL EQUIPMENT FUND, I BASICALLY EXPLAINED THAT EARLIER, THAT THE AMOUNTS THAT NEED TO BE SET ASIDE FOR PLANNING AND FOR PURCHASES NOW, BECAUSE OF INFLATION AND SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES, IS MORE.

THAT'S WHAT'S DRIVING THAT INCREASE.

THE INCREASE IN THE CAPITAL MAINTENANCE FUND, THAT'S BECAUSE THERE'S PROJECTS IN THE CAPITAL MAINTENANCE FUND THAT IT DOES, LIKE ROUTERS AND SERVERS AND NETWORKS, AND THEY'RE PROPOSING REGULAR AMOUNTS OF THOSE TYPES OF PROJECTS IN THE CAPITAL MAINTENANCE FUND.

ONE OF THOSE IS A $400,000 EXPENSE FOR A CY REMEDIAL REPLACEMENT PROGRAM.

THAT'S WHAT'S DRAGGING, PRIMARILY, THAT CAPITAL MAINTENANCE FUND INCREASE FROM 2022-2023.

THE INCREASE IN THE ROADWAY AND MEDIAN IMPROVEMENT FUND, THAT'S BECAUSE WE'RE STARTING TO SET ASIDE A MILLION DOLLARS TO ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS.

AS CATHERINE MENTIONED EARLIER, THERE'S A CITYWIDE MEDIAN LANDSCAPE PROGRAM THAT WE'RE FUNDING FOR $250,000, AND THAT'S BEING DONE IN THAT FUND.

SO THAT'S THE 1,250,000 THAT'S BUDGETED IN THE ROADWAY AND MEDIAN IMPROVEMENT FUND.

THE GENERAL CAPITAL PROJECT FUND IS PROPOSED AT $6,070,213.

AGAIN, THAT'S APPROXIMATELY THREE MILLION DOLLARS MORE IN CAPITAL PROJECTS IN 2022.

DON'T FORGET THOSE PRIVATE GENERAL FUNDS [INAUDIBLE].

AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THE PROJECTS THAT WOULD STILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR TRANSPORTATION SURTAX HAVE TO BE BUDGETED IN THE CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT FUND.

THERE'S ALSO SOME OTHER PROJECTS THAT PUBLIC WORKS IS PROPOSING THAT ARE BUDGETED IN THE CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT FUND ALSO.

YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT THOSE LATER IN THE PRESENTATION.

LASTLY IS THE TAMARAC VILLAGE FUND. THAT'S NOT CHANGED.

WHAT WE BUDGET THERE IS JUST THE PAYMENT [INAUDIBLE] IT'S A BANKNOTE NOW.

IT WAS ORIGINALLY A LINE OF CREDIT, BUT IT'S NOW A REVENUE NOTE.

WE DISBANDED THE PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYMENT ON THE REVENUE NOTE WITHIN TAMARAC VILLAGE FUND.

WHAT WE HAVE THERE FOR PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST IS FOR [INAUDIBLE] FOR 2022.

THESE ARE THE SPECIFIC PROJECTS OF THE GENERAL CAPITAL PROJECT FUND AND THE CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT FUND.

WHAT YOU SEE ON THE NEXT SLIDE IS WHAT'S BUDGETED IN THE GENERAL CAPITAL PROJECT FUND AND THE CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT FUND.

THIS LEVEL OF FUNDING IS BEING PROPOSED, AND THESE SPECIFIC PROJECTS WERE CHOSEN FOR FUNDING IN 2023 IN RESPONSE TO THE PRIORITIES THAT THE CITY COMMISSION IDENTIFIED DURING THE STRATEGIC PLANNING, SPECIFICALLY, BOLSTERING THE APPEARANCE OF THE CITY AND IMPROVING QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE RESIDENTS.

IT SHOWS THE AMOUNTS THAT ARE BUDGETED FOR 2023 AND WHAT THE ESTIMATED TOTAL PROJECT COST IS FOR EACH ONE OF THE PROJECTS, INCLUDING ANY PRIVATE FUNDING.

THE AMOUNT THAT'S BEING BUDGETED FOR SABAL PALM AND SHAKER VILLAGE, WHATEVER IT IS, THAT'S THE ESTIMATES CURRENTLY THE PUBLIC SERVICES IS ESTIMATING UPFRONT OF PRECONSTRUCTION COSTS.

[01:05:02]

THOSE ARE THE TYPES OF COSTS THAT ARE BEING BUDGETED FOR 2023 IN THOSE TWO PROJECTS.

YOU'LL BE HEARING ABOUT ALL THE OTHER PROJECTS THAT ARE LISTED THERE IN MUCH GREATER DETAIL WHEN THE DEPARTMENTS GIVE THEIR PRESENTATION ON THE [INAUDIBLE] AS WE'VE DONE IN PRIOR YEARS, PROJECTS REQUIRING A CHANGE FROM THE GENERAL FUND ARE NOT FUNDED IN THE FORECAST YEARS AND IN THE OUT YEARS.

THERE ARE EVEN OTHER IN THE CIP PLAN, THEY'RE IN THE PLAN. THEY'RE NOT FUNDED.

THOSE PROJECTS, ESSENTIALLY, THE CIP COMMITTEE REVIEWS THOSE PROJECTS IN THE NEXT BUDGET ZONE.

THE PROJECTS THAT I'M ABOUT TO SHOW YOU THAT ARE IN THE CIP FOR 2024 AND 2025 ARE NOT BUDGETED AND WILL ESSENTIALLY MAKE UP THE PROJECTS THAT'S GOING TO BE THE SUBJECT OF THE REVIEW OF THE CIP COMMITTEE IN THE NEXT BUDGET ZONE.

THE CIP COMMITTEE EVALUATES THE COST, EVALUATES THE TIMING, EVALUATES THE NEED, AND DECISIONS ARE MADE ON WHAT PROJECTS TO BRING FORWARD TO YOU IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET OF THAT YEAR, BASED ON THOSE THINGS.

WHAT'S IN THE CIP NOW FOR '25 ARE ALL THESE PROJECTS.

ALL OF THESE PROJECTS REQUIRE A TRANSFER FROM THE GENERAL FUND.

IF YOU LOOK AT THAT BOTTOM LINE NUMBER, THERE'S $32.5.5 MILLION OUT OF THIS $40 MILLION.

THE REST OF IT IS MADE UP OF PROJECTS THAT ARE IN THE ENTERPRISE FUNDS, STORMWATER, AND UTILITIES.

BUT $32 MILLION OF THAT $40 MILLION [INAUDIBLE] IN 2024 FOR THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, AT THIS POINT IT'S NOT BUDGETED.

IT WILL BE EVALUATED IN THE NEXT BUDGET ZONE.

SAME GOES FOR FISCAL YEAR '25, SIX MILLION DOLLARS OF PROJECTS HAVE BEEN PLANNED, REQUIRE A TRANSFER FROM THE GENERAL FUND ARE NOT BUDGETED AT THIS TIME.

WHAT'S PROPOSED FOR THE ENTERPRISE FUNDS IS $101,735,732.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE CHANGES TO STORMWATER OPERATIONS, THAT'S APPROXIMATELY A MILLION DOLLARS.

WHEN YOU GO DOWN TO THE LINE BELOW, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED IN STORMWATER ARE APPROXIMATELY A MILLION MORE THAN THE YEAR BEFORE.

THE TRANSFER FOR THOSE HAS TO COME FROM SOMEWHERE.

IT COMES FROM STORMWATER OPERATIONS.

SO WHAT YOU SEE ESSENTIALLY IN THAT DECREASE IS THE AMOUNT OF NUTRIENTS.

BUT THE ONE MOMENT FOR CAPITAL PROBLEM.

NORMALLY, WHEN 400 THOUSAND DOLLARS LOOKING INTO BINARY AND ALLERGY, NIGHTMARISH IS STRICTLY BIGGER THAN THE DREAMS [INAUDIBLE].

YOU GET TO THE PULMONARY VALVE.

SIX MILLION DOLLARS MORE APPROXIMATELY.

THE SAME THING HAPPENING IN [INAUDIBLE] FUND.

THEY'RE PROPOSING 6 MILLION DOLLARS MORE THAN THE ACTUAL REQUIREMENT, SO 6 MILLION DOLLARS MORE OF A TRAINING PROJECT TO BE MADE FROM THE UTILITIES ARE [INAUDIBLE].

THAT'S WHAT'S DRIVING IT, THERE'S OTHER THINGS GOING UP AND DOWN.

IT CUTS THOSE THINGS, OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE INCREASING YOUR PAY ROLL, VALUE OF YOUR SALARY, YOUR BENEFITS.

BUT WHO WANTS TO BE KNOWING WHAT'S GOING ON IN THEIR PLAN, $12 MILLION IS BEING DRIVEN PRETTY MUCH BY ACHIEVING OF 30 CAPITAL PROJECTS [INAUDIBLE].

EVERY YEAR SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE AND I THINK THAT IS ONE OF THE CHANGES THAT WE NORMALLY BRING IN BETWEEN THE PROPORTION IN COUNTY BUDGET, WHEN WE PRESENT THE BUDGET IN SEPTEMBER IS A CHANGE FOR THE CULVERT GOLF COURSE THAT'S STRICTLY A FUNCTION OF THE TIME WHEN THE BUDGET IS FINALIZED.

WHAT'S ALWAYS IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET IS JUST REALLY A PLACEHOLDER UNTIL WE HAVE A BUNCH OF FINALIZING PLANNING LEFT.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT NOW, IS JUST A NUMBER THAT WAS IN THE FORECAST LAST YEAR,

[01:10:01]

YOU CAN EXPECT TO SEE ONE OF THE KEY ISSUES THAT WE BRING TO YOU IN SEPTEMBER [INAUDIBLE].

BUT KEEP IN MIND THIS IS AN ENTERPRISE FUND AND OUTSIDE IS A SMALL CREATION FROM THE GENERAL FUND IS TO PUT THIS OFF FUNDED.

SO IT CAN GENERATE REVENUE THAT WOULD MAKE THAT BUDGET $5 MILLION, IT'S STILL REVENUE THAT'S MAKING IT $5 MILLION.

SO WHAT YOU'LL SEE IS THAT CULVERT IS GOING TO BE BASED ON THE REVENUE MINUS [INAUDIBLE] EXPENSES ON.

WHATEVER THE CURRENT MOMENT.

THE INFORMATION THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH, WITH A MANAGEMENT COMPANY RIGHT NOW INDICATES THAT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BRING IN, IS GOING TO BE MUCH MORE IN LINE WITH WHAT WE'VE BUDGETED 2022, SO THAT $800,000 INCREASED.

THESE ARE THE SPECIFIC CHEMICAL PRODUCTS THAT ARE IN THE STORM WATER FUND, 2.23.

YOU CAN SEE WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING, BY CULVERT AND HEAD WALLS, WHICH IS $400,000 BECAUSE OTHER THAN THAT, BUT THERE ARE THREE OTHER PROJECTS THAT ARE UNIQUE TO FISCAL YEAR 2023.

ONE IS A STORM WATER IMPROVEMENTS TO THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT, THE OTHER IS NOW CALLED THE PROJECT AND YOU KNOW, WHAT? I GOT MOST OF US 77 SWELLING, DRAINAGE [INAUDIBLE].

ALL THESE ADD UP TO ONE WAY FOR YOU PROBABLY WHICH YOU SAW ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE.

THESE ARE UTILITY'S CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED.

SOME OF THE LARGER ONES, AND YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT THESE LATER IN THE PRESENTATION.

WE'LL TRY THIS OUT HERE.

EAST SIDE DISTRIBUTION EXPANSION PROJECT, PROPOSAL $4 MILLION FUNDING, IN 2023 THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT CONTROL BUILDING, $9 MILLION FOR 2023.

CITYWIDE A-MI PROGRAM REPLACING [INAUDIBLE] WHAT I WOULD SAY.

ANY ONE OF THESE OR WHATEVER [INAUDIBLE] IN 2025.

BUT THEN I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME TELLING YOU ABOUT THE PROJECTS PRESENTATION.

BUT LOOK AT THIS $31,732,000 WE'RE BACK IN MY EARLIER SLIDE, $31,743,000 [INAUDIBLE] FOR CONSTRUCTION.

[BACKGROUND] LASTLY, WE'VE GOT AN INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS THAT WOULD BE $10,787,426 PRESENTLY IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET.

THERE'S NOT A MAJOR CHANGE IN HEALTH INSURANCE FUND.

HUMAN RESOURCES IS MONITORING THAT.

YOU COULD KNOW IF THERE'S A NEED FOR A CHANGE THAT WILL BE ACHIEVED BETWEEN THE PROPOSAL [INAUDIBLE].

IN RISK MANAGEMENT FUND THERE WAS AN INCREASE OF $357,000 FROM THIS YEAR TO LAST YEAR.

WHAT'S MAINLY DRIVING THAT RISK IS SUGGESTION THE CONTINGENCY BE INCREASED, ACTUALLY DOUBLES FROM 250,000 TO 500,000 JUST TO BE PRUDENT, BUT A MAJORITY MAY HAVE INCREASED.

THEN THERE ARE ALSO BECAUSE OF INFORMATION YOU'RE GETTING AS THE STATE OF FLORIDA, SOME CHANGES TO WORKERS COMPENSATION CLAIMS. THEY'RE ALSO PROPOSING SOME CHANGES TO PROPERTY BY UPLOADING PREMIUMS AND CLAIMS, AND AUTOMOBILE BY UPLOADING CHANGES INCLUDING PLANS AND THE INCREASING CONTINGENCY IS BASICALLY DRIVING AT $357,000 INCREASE.

BEFORE I LEAVE YOU, I JUST NEED TO REMIND YOU OF SOME IMPORTANT DATES THAT ARE UP COMING.

[01:15:05]

SEPTEMBER 12, WILL BE THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING FOR ADOPTION OF THE TENTATIVE MILLAGE RATE AND TENTATIVE BUDGET.

FINAL PUBLIC HEARING IS SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 22ND, FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE FINAL MILLAGE RATE AND THE FINAL BUDGET [INAUDIBLE].

AT THIS TIME, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OVERVIEW OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAVE THEM FOR WHEN EACH SPECIFIC DEPARTMENT PRESENTS? SEEING THAT WE'LL BE DOING THAT, WE'RE GOING TO GO.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, WE APPRECIATE. YOU HAVE ONE QUESTION? OKAY, CHRISTIAN BOLTON HAS ONE QUESTION.

>> [INAUDIBLE]

>> IF IT'S ABOUT CHICKEN VILLAGE.

PREVIOUSLY WE BUDGETED FOR 1,000,000 AND THEN OBVIOUSLY 400,000.

WITH THIS VILLAGE PIPE BURSTING WILL BE DISCUSSED IN MORE DETAIL THROUGH THE PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT WHICH IS OPEN.

MR. [INAUDIBLE] SAYING IT'S NOISY, GIVEN HIM MORE DETAIL DURING THESE PRESENTATION.

>> [INAUDIBLE].

>> THE DOLLAR FIGURES WILL BE DISCUSSED ON MORE DETAIL BY MR. [INAUDIBLE] DURING THE PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE WILL NOW BE GOING TO OUR FIRST PRESENTATION AND WE HAVE THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT MRS. [INAUDIBLE].

>> THERE YOU GO. I PROMISE TO TALK LESS.

[LAUGHTER] THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT IS $3,880,000.

WE TRIED TO FINISH THE STRATEGIC GOALS FOR TAMARAC FOR THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT AND OVERALL WHAT IT IS IS THAT IT'S CUSTOMER SERVICE.

MAKING SURE THINGS ARE SAFE FOR THE PEOPLE OF TAMARAC AND MAKING SURE WE GIVE THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE WE CAN.

THE LAST ONE THERE, WE'RE STILL WAITING ON IT.

WE DID OUR FIVE-YEAR CRS COMMUNITY RATING SERVICE AND WE'RE STILL WAITING TO HEAR AND TO SEE THE OUTCOME.

WE SHOULD BE HEARING THAT ANYTIME TO SEE IF WE CONTINUE TO BE A CLASS 6 WHICH GIVES A RESIDENCE 20 PERCENT DISCOUNT ON THE FLOOD POLICIES.

SOME ACCOMPLISHMENTS IF YOU REMEMBER WHAT WE HAD TO REVISE THE PERMIT FEE SCHEDULE THAT WAS EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1ST OF THIS YEAR.

WE PROMOTED AN IN-HOUSE CHIEF ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR.

WE HIRED A NEW CHIEF MECHANICAL INSPECTOR AND ONE NEW STRUCTURAL INSPECTOR, AND ONE ON-CALL STRUCTURAL INSPECTOR.

AGAIN, LIKE I SAID, A CRS/ISO, COMMUNITY SERVICE RATING, THE FIVE-YEAR SALARIES ALLOCATION WE JUST COMPLETED AND WE COMPLETED BCEGS 3 YEAR RE-CERTIFICATION.

WE ARE IS STILL WAITING TO HEAR RESULTS.

IN 2021 WE HAD 7,826 PERMITS ISSUED.

THERE WAS OVER 8,000 PERMITS THAT WAS APPLIED FOR.

REMEMBER WHAT, SINCE WE'RE ELECTRONICALLY WITH THE FLIGHT OF THE REFUGEES PER PERMIT NUMBER, I NEVER PUT ANYTHING ESSENTIALLY PERMIT PACKAGE.

THERE YOU GO, 8,000 PERMITS APPLIED FOR BUT THEN AROUND 7,826 PERMITS WERE ISSUED.

BUT WE ALSO WORKED WITH IT DEPARTMENT TO IMPLEMENT THE REDUCED PERMIT FEES FOR THE PRIVATE PROVIDERS THAT WE NEEDED BECAUSE OF STATE STATUTE.

THE INCIDENT RESPONDED TO A QUESTION FROM 275 PHONE CALLS PER DAY AND THAT'S INVESTING IN OPEN ETHICALLY.

PERMITTING STAFF PROVIDED SUBMITTAL WHAT WE CALL PR COMMENTS TO PLAN REVIEWERS WHICH ARE PROVIDED AS PART OF THE PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS.

THIS REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF TIME OF PROCESSING PERMITS.

RATHER THAN TRIMMED OUT RIGHT AWAY FOR MISSING PAPERWORK, YOU GO BACK TO THE PLAN REVIEWER AND HE JUST ADDS THAT TO HIS WHATEVER [INAUDIBLE] HE WANTS AND THEN THEY'RE ONLY TURNED DOWN ONCE NOT TWICE.

WE CREATED A FIRST WEBSITE ONLINE PERMITTING INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO TO REDUCE MISTAKES ON BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATIONS.

RIGHT NOW WE'RE DOING A CROSS TRAINING POSITIONS FOR SUCCESSION PLAN.

A SENIOR PERMIT TECHNICIAN WITH PERMIT SERVICES SUPERVISOR AND PERMIT TECHNICIAN WITH ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR.

[01:20:02]

THE MAJOR PROJECTS WE HAVE IN WEST & BAILEY ROAD.

THIS IS TAMARAC VILLAGE & THE AMPHITHEATER PROJECT.

THIS IS A STORAGE FACILITY DESIGNED BY THE MCNAB.

MANY MEMBERS OF STAFF HAVE TAKEN ON ADDITIONAL DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS TO CONTINUE OUR COMMITMENT OF EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH THE LOSS OF OUR ASSISTANT BUILDING OFFICIAL.

I DON'T HAVE THAT IN MY BUDGET BUT THE ASSISTANT IS VERY CRUCIAL.

WE'RE WORKING ON SUCCESSION PLANNING, AND DEALING WITH THE LIMITED LAND FOR THE FUTURE REDEVELOPMENT AND SEE HOW THE NEW REVISED PERMIT FEE SCHEDULE WILL FIT IN TO OUR [INAUDIBLE].

I JUST WANT TO ADD RIGHT NOW WE HAVE FIVE POSITIONS OPEN.

TWO STRUCTURAL INSPECTOR POSITIONS AND THEN THREE ON-CALL POSITION.

I SAW THEM YESTERDAY TO SEE WHAT INTENSITIES INVOLVE WHILE LOOKING STRUCTURAL INSPECTOR.

THE COMPETITION IS REALLY TRYING TO GET THESE PEOPLE WHO QUALIFY BECAUSE REMEMBER I'M PROUD IN DATE, YOU HAVE TO BE IN DC OR A CONTRACT TO BECOME A NEW INSPECTOR OR A NEW A NEW ON-CALL TECHNICIAN IN THE STATE [INAUDIBLE].

ANY QUESTIONS?

>> IT SEEMS WE HAVE ONE.

>> OKAY. I THINK WE ADDRESSED THIS TO GEORGE.

RATHER THAN JUST SAY IN GENERAL, THEY'RE AWESOME OR THEY HAVE MADE LOTS OF IMPROVEMENTS.

I THINK YOU'RE ACTUALLY [INAUDIBLE] BECAUSE WE HAVE POSITIONS THAT ARE OPEN.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT DOESN'T HAVE PERMITS THAT WE WOULD WANT TO CONSIDER WHEN WE APPROVE THE BUDGET? WE'RE WORKING ON SUCCESSION PLAN RIGHT NOW AND RIGHT NOW I CAN SAY THERE ARE FIVE POSITIONS THAT ARE OPEN.

I'M LOOKING AT ONE.

I'M WAITING TO SEE THE STATE.

WHY DOES THE 40-YEAR RE-CERTIFICATION GO DOWN TO 30 AND THEN GO ON TO PICK A DIFFERENT CITY.

I KNOW THEY'RE MEETING IN ORLANDO NEXT WEEK.

THAT MIGHT DEPEND ON WHAT COMES OUT FROM THAT.

THAT MIGHT GIVE ME SAY I NEED TO KNOW THESE POSITIONS BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW I DON'T KNOW.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IS THERE ANOTHER PERSON TO SHARE THEIR PRESENTATION.

>> THANK YOU.

>> EVERYONE NOW GOES TO [INAUDIBLE] SEMINAR.

>> GOOD MORNING MA'AM, COMMISSION [INAUDIBLE].

FOR THE RECORD, JEFFERSON MONROE BRANCH AND HIS OFFICE.

A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE FROM LAST YEAR, WE HAVE NO POSITIONAL CHANGES.

WE RESTRUCTURED BECAUSE REMEMBER LAST YEAR WE TRY GET SOME MORE EFFICIENCIES IN OUR COMMAND STRUCTURE, WE WERE ABLE TO REDUCE OUR POSITIONS, REALLOCATE POSITIONS.

WE WILL FIND OUR PREVIOUS YEAR INTO THE NEW YEAR WITH THIS CURRENT LEVEL OF STAFFING.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO CONSIDER THE NEXT COMING YEARS.

WE HAVE HAD INCREASES EACH YEAR IN CALLS FOR SERVICE.

LAST YEAR WE HAD 42,437 CALLS OF SERVICE.

WE'RE AVERAGING ABOUT 116 CALLS OF SERVICE A DAY.

THIS YEAR WE'RE ALREADY UP 29 PERCENT, HAS BEEN VERY BUSY.

FOCUS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU CONSISTENTLY DEAL WITH IN SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS TRY TO REMAIN FOCUSED ON THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY, WHICH [INAUDIBLE] WOULD SHARE.

LUCKILY RECEIVING INVESTMENTS IN CHAIN SURVEYS WHICH WE WILL DISCUSS AND CITY MANAGER [INAUDIBLE] DISCUSSED IN DETAIL ABOUT SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS WE NEEDED TO MAKE IN TERMS OF THE SUCCESSES THAT WE'VE HAD.

SPECIFICALLY WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT WE LOOK INTO OUR COMMUNITY MEETINGS AND SOME DATA THAT CAME OUT OF OUR POLICE SURVEY AND SECURITY SURVEY.

SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS ARE PROFESSIONAL INTERACTIONS OR OVERALL SATISFACTION WITH OUR ABILITY TO RESPOND TO THE EMERGENCIES.

SENIOR CITIZENS REALLY WERE HAPPY WITH THE PROFESSIONALISM AND

[01:25:01]

SPECIFICALLY WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON NATIONWIDE THERE SOME YEARS.

BUT THERE ARE ALSO CONCERNS THAT WE WERE FOCUSING ON.

WE WERE CONCERNED WITH VISIBILITY.

TRAFFIC, AS WE ALL KNOW, IS OUR NUMBER 1 COMPLAIN IN TAMARAC.

THE WAY WE ALSO COMMUNICATE WITH OUR CITIZENS.

STILL WE REALIZE THAT THE TRAFFIC ISSUE, WHICH IS REALLY NATIONWIDE.

WE HAD HAD TRAFFIC HOMICIDES INCREASING THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE NATION.

THE CITIZENS HAD COVID, WE HAVE A LOT OF ROBBERY, YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF ISSUES GOING ON.

IT'S A NATIONWIDE TREND.

WHAT I'M PROUD OF IS THAT THIS CITY AND COOPERATION WITH [INAUDIBLE] AND DOT WAS TAKING SOME IMPRESSIVE STEPS AGAINST THE AGGRESSIVE DRIVING.

I WANT TO SAY THAT AGGRESSIVE DRIVING AND VISIBILITY GO HAND IN HAND.

WE DO NOT HAVE ANYMORE DATABASE ON THE STREETS.

WHAT WE TRY TO DO IS TAKE ALL VISIBILITY ON THE STREETS THROUGH TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT AND OUR LIGHTS GOING AND GETTING THE RIGHT AND THE LIGHTS AT NIGHT.

THE CITIZENS REALLY DO SEE THESE VEHICLES TRAVELING TROUGH THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS.

IT'S BECAUSE THEY HELP THEM GET TO COMPLAINTS THAT [INAUDIBLE] IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY IN A LONG TIME.

THE ANTI-AGGRESSIVE DRIVING INITIATIVES AND BASICALLY WE'RE MAYBE EIGHT HOURS A DAY TO OUR SHARES OF [INAUDIBLE] DRIVING.

WE TOOK AN OLD VEHICLE WE HAD, WE TOOK THE LIGHT MORE OF A SELF VEHICLE, TRAVELING THE IMMEDIATE COROLLARIES OF TAMARAC READING A LOT OF TICKETS PRODUCT, WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE AGGRESSIVE DRIVERS.

ZIPPING THROUGH THE LANES, GOING THROUGH THE RED LIGHTS, TRAVELING FAST THROUGH OUR COMMUNITIES.

BUT IT REALLY IS NOT ENOUGH.

WE ALL KNOW THAT WE CAN WRITE THE TICKETS AS LONG AS WE'VE HAD POLICE VEHICLES AND PEOPLE CAN DRIVE IT AND PEOPLE STILL SEE.

IN OUR CONVERSATIONS WITH, WOULD SEE IMAGINE THE DOT AND EVEN THE MPO, GREGORY STUART, WE'RE REALIZING THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE A MULTIFACETED CAMPAIGN TO CHANGE THE WAY THE DRY, SO SIMILARLY IN THE CITY.

ALTHOUGH WE ARE HAVING A CAMPAIGN AGAINST USING OUR TRAFFIC RESOURCES AND CITATIONS, WE'RE GOING TO NEED THEM UP FURTHER INTO ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS AND ALLOW, THIS IS NOT CITY OF TAMARAC, THERE'S STATES ROADS, THERE'S COUNTY ROADS.

IT'S VERY CONVOLUTED ON HOW IT CHANGES.

WE ALSO HAVE A LOOK AT THIS ROAD IMPROVEMENTS, WHETHER IT'S NOW, CHANGING ALWAYS PATHWAYS.

WE HAVE TO LOOK AT A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT MANNER.

I AM PLEASED TO SAY I JUST LEARNED THIS WEEK.

I'VE NEVER ACCEPTED TO THE TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO THE MPO, SO WE WILL HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A VOICE RIGHT HERE IN TOWN FOR SOME IMPROVEMENTS GOING FORWARD INTO ROAD AND SAFETY.

WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH THIS.

WE INCREASED CITATIONS 174 PERCENT IN ONE YEAR.

TO APRIL 248 PERCENT.

WE HAVE WRITTEN OVER 3,500 CITATIONS IN 2022 SO FAR.

THAT'S ALSO SAD IN A WAY.

IT'S A LITTLE INDICATOR OF WHAT'S GOING ON.

BUT THESE ARE THE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE MAY NOT REALIZE WE'RE DOING IN THE SHADOWS.

WE'RE WRITING A LOT OF TICKETS BUT WE ALSO HAVE THE CONTINUE TO EDUCATE OUR COMMUNITY IN THE DANGERS OF DRIVING.

IT'S ONE OF THE LEADING KILLERS OF PEOPLE RIGHT NOW AND INJURIES IS DRIVING.

I HAVE TO THANK MAYOR GOMEZ.

SHE'S BEEN WORKING WITH ME.

ALSO, WE'RE TRYING FOR THESE CAR MANUFACTURERS TO CHANGE THEIR TECHNOLOGY TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM TEXTING AND DRIVING IF YOU'RE DRIVING THAT VEHICLE.

IT'S A LONG ROAD BUT WE'RE GAINING A LOT OF TRACTION ON THAT AND I'M REALLY PROUD OF THAT.

THE CONVERSATIONS WE'RE HAVING WITH DOT HAVE BEEN GOING VERY WELL AND GREGORY STUART FROM THE MPO, THEY'RE VERY RECEPTIVE.

WE'RE LOOKING NOW AT MAYBE REDUCING SOME OF THE SPEED RIGHT HERE IN TOWN, CHANGING SOME OF THE LIGHTS, TIMINGS.

I KNOW CERTAIN COMMUNITIES HAVE ISSUES WITH CERTAIN CRASH SITES THAT WE'RE IDENTIFYING.

I DON'T WANT TO GO TOO MUCH MORE INTO THAT BUT JUST UNDERSTAND THAT'S STILL GOING TO BE ON THE TOP OF OUR LIST, VISIBILITY, AND TRAFFIC, THEY KIND OF COMBINE TOGETHER NOW.

THE OTHER PART THAT WAS INTERESTING IS COMMUNICATION.

I HAVE TO SAY, I'M VERY GRATEFUL TO EUNICIA BAKER, [NOISE] EXCUSE ME, PIO OFFICE.

SHE'S REALLY ASSISTED US IN GETTING OUR MESSAGES OUT TO THE COMMUNITY.

[01:30:02]

WE NEEDED TO DO A LOT BETTER THAN THAT.

EUNICIA HAS WORKED WITH US DAY IN DAY OUT GETTING OUR MESSAGES THROUGH OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS, WHICH FORTUNATELY DOES NOT COST A DOLLAR SINCE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FINANCES TODAY.

WE'VE GOTTEN GREAT RESPONSES BACK ON OUR COMMUNICATION EFFORTS, SO I WANT TO THANK HER FOR THAT.

WE ALSO STARTED A NEW CAMPAIGN.

WE ALSO INCREASED OUR THE IN-PERSON MEETINGS IN THE HOAS.

WE'RE MEETING WITH A LOT MORE PEOPLE.

THE MEETINGS HAVE A LOT LESS PEOPLE AT ONE TIME BUT WE'VE HAD TO EXTEND OUR EMAIL SYSTEMS, OUR PHONE CALLS.

I'M MAKING MORE PHONE CALLS THAN EVER.

BUT IT'S TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND GETTING THE WORD TO THEIR COMMUNITIES.

WE'RE TRYING TO HAVE AS MANY IN-HOUSE MEETINGS IN MY BUILDING TO GO OVER ANY ISSUES.

I PREFER TO SPEAK IN PERSON TO PEOPLE ESPECIALLY WITH CERTAIN ISSUES, THEY SEAT DOWN AT OUR TABLE AND I THINK THAT'S BEEN EFFECTIVE.

WE STARTED A WELCOME HOME CAMPAIGN.

SOCIAL MEDIA IS GREAT BUT A LOT OF WORKING PEOPLE THAT WORK REALLY LONG ARE NOT ON SOCIAL MEDIA WE WANTED TO CAPTURE THE AUDIENCE, SO RIGHT NOW IS WE'RE LOOKING AT THEIR COMMUNITIES.

WE MEET THEM WHEN THEY'RE COMING HOME.

AS THEY'RE COMING HOME, WE HAVE THE ZONE DEPUTIES, THE ZONE DETECTIVES OR SERGEANTS, AND SOME OF OUR STAFF THERE TO BRIEF THEM WHATEVER MESSAGE IT IS FOR THAT WEEK.

WE STARTED A FEW WEEKS AGO AND WE'VE GOTTEN SO MANY REQUESTS TO GO TO THEIR COMMUNITIES.

WE'RE SCHEDULING THAT AND YOU SEE THAT CONTINUING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

GOING TO SHOW YOU A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES OF EUNICIA BAKER'S UNIT.

BEEN HELPING US WITH OUR CAMPAIGNS WHICH IS A RESPONSE TO THE CONCERNS THAT OUR CITIZENS HAD.

DRIVING CAMPAIGNS, YOU CAN SEE OUR WELCOME HOME.

THAT'S JARED AND AMY.

EASTER BUNNY OUTFIT FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

BUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WHETHER PEOPLE KNOW WHAT TYPE OF CRIMES IT IS, WE WANT PEOPLE TO BE PART OF THE SOLUTION.

WE'RE SENDING OUT ANY MESSAGE THAT WE GET.

OUR BIGGEST CRIME, THE SAME THING SINCE I'VE BEEN WITH TAMARAC HAS BEEN BURGLARY CONVEYANCES WHICH ARE UP THIS YEAR.

UNLOCKED CARS, WE'RE TRYING GET THIS MESSAGE OUT AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO COMMUNITIES THEMSELVES AND GIVING THEM SOME REMINDERS ON THAT, AND THAT'S GOING TO CONTINUE.

CONTINUE TO ALSO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEIR GARAGE REMOTES, IF YOU'RE LEAVING THE CAR, YOUR GARAGE REMOTE OPENS YOUR HOUSE AND PEOPLE GET INTO HOUSES.

WE HAVE TO STOP THIS AND I URGE COMMISSIONERS, WHEN YOU SPEAK TO YOUR PEOPLE, PLEASE HELP US WITH THAT MESSAGE ALSO.

IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING THROUGH BUT IT'S ALL OVER THE COUNTY.

IT'S NOT JUST TAMARAC, IT'S ALL OVER THE COUNTY, IT'S A TRI-COUNTY ISSUE RIGHT NOW.

LAST YEAR, WE'RE VERY PROUD.

WE DID HAVE A 20 PERCENT DECREASE IN CRIME.

WE WERE PROUD FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES BECAUSE THIS NUMBER ALWAYS CHANGES AND IT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH THE ECONOMY ALSO.

I DO EXPECT THAT OUR CRIME IS GOING TO BE GOING UP, IT ALREADY HAS SO FAR THIS YEAR.

SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE SO FAR IN THE CITY IS WE'VE INCREASED A LOT IN THE TRAINING.

SINCE DAY ONE I'VE BEEN HERE WE'VE BEEN BRINGING IN OTHER UNITS TO OUR CITY.

SOMETIMES WE'LL HAVE 50-60 MOTORMEN IN OUR CITY DRIVING AROUND.

WE'RE MAKING THEM TRAIN IN THE CITY OF TAMARAC.

WE USE OUR TRAINING ROOM FOR EVERY TYPE OF CLASS THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE.

OUR QUICKEST RESPONSE FORCE, OUR RIOT SQUAD, THE SWAT TEAM, EVERY TYPE OF UNIT THAT WE HAVE AROUND THIS WHOLE ENTIRE COUNTY NOW COMES TO TAMARAC.

WE HAVE A FIELD IN [INAUDIBLE] THAT WE USE THE TACTICAL TRAINING FOR AND IN THE FUTURE WE WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO SOME TYPE OF DRIVER TRAINING INSIDE THE CITY.

WE ARE RECIPIENTS OF ADDED PATROLS.

EVERY TIME WE BRING PEOPLE HERE IT IS FREE.

AGAIN, SINCE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FINANCES TODAY.

WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO BORROW, STEAL, AND CHEAT AND GET EVERYBODY WE CAN INTO THIS GREAT CITY.

IT'S WORKING OUT AND AS A COMPLIMENT TO OUR COMMISSION AND OUR CITY FOR ALLOWING US TO USE THESE FACILITIES BECAUSE IT HAS ATTRACTED A LOT MORE PEOPLE TO OUR CITY, SO I THANK YOU AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR THAT.

[INAUDIBLE] WORKING ON CHANGING THE FOCUS OF WHAT WE'RE DOING.

OUR SLOGAN IS SERVICING OUR COMMUNITY WITH PROFESSIONALISM AND COMPASSION.

THAT MESSAGE TAKES A LONG TIME AGO.

BEING PROFESSIONAL AND HAVING A GOAL.

WE'VE DONE THAT WITH OUR EMPLOYEES.

WE DID MAKE SOME CHANGES THEY HAVE TO MEET OUR STANDARDS [INAUDIBLE].

OVERWHELMING WE HAVE A FANTASTIC CREW WITH EXTREMELY LOW TURNOVER.

KEEPING THE SAME PEOPLE IN THE CITY IS VERY IMPORTANT.

THE ONLY TIME I WANT TO SEE SOMEONE LEAVE IS FOR A PROMOTION AND THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO IN TAMARAC.

OUR RESPONSE TIMES ARE BELOW THE NATIONWIDE AVERAGE WENT DOWN TO FIVE MINUTES AND 10 SECONDS.

IMPORTANT NOW IS OUTREACH AND COMMUNICATION,

[01:35:03]

HE'S WORKING WITH THE CITY AND SOME GROUPS OF SOME OUTREACH AND HE'S GOING TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON. JEREMIAH COOPER, LIEUTENANT BSO FOR THE RECORD.

[INAUDIBLE] POLICE SURVEY THAT [INAUDIBLE] SPOKE OF DURING HER PRESENTATION.

WE FOUND THAT THE YOUTH WERE LESS TRUSTING OF OF POLICE SERVICES THAN ADULTS WERE.

THEREFORE WE'RE GOING TO CREATE AND WE ARE CREATING [INAUDIBLE] INITIATIVE TO ASSIST IN BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN THE YOUTH, THE [INAUDIBLE], LEADERS AND COMMUNITY.

THIS IS ONE THING THAT I'M VERY EXTREMELY PASSIONATE ABOUT BECAUSE OF MY FAITH BACKGROUND.

AS YOU ALL MAYBE KNOW, MY FATHER WAS A MINISTER IN A CHURCH AND I HAVE BEEN IN CHURCH PRETTY MUCH ALL MY LIFE.

FROM PLAYING MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS TO SINGING IN THE CHOIR.

I JUST PRETTY MUCH GREW UP IN THE CHURCH.

I'VE BEEN FORTUNATE TO MEET SOME VERY WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHILE ATTENDING CHURCH THROUGH ALL FACETS OF LIFE.

BECAUSE OF MY BACKGROUND AND MY PASSION FOR IT, I REALIZED THAT BRIDGING THE GAP AND THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE YOUTH AND FAMILY IS VERY INSPIRATIONAL GOING THROUGH THE CHURCH.

WHAT WE WANT IS WE WANT OUR FAITH LEADERS TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL RESOURCE FOR THEIR MEMBERS, THEIR COMMUNITY, THEIR YOUTH, AND BY PROVIDING THAT THROUGH LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES THAT'S THE INITIATIVE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO MEET.

OUR INTERFAITH INITIATIVE WILL BE SEMI-ANNUAL AND IT WILL BE HELD IN OUR DISTRICT OFFICE.

ONE ADDITIONAL WAY THAT WE CONNECT TO MEET OUR YOUTH IS BY REACHING OUT TO THEM THROUGH THE [INAUDIBLE] CADET PROGRAM.

THIS PROGRAM WILL BEGIN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 6TH GRADE OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AT THAT GRADE LEVEL AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE 8TH-GRADE LEVEL.

AFTER THIS INITIATIVE WE MOVE ON WITH THE EXPLORER PROGRAM AND THAT WILL BEGIN AT THE 9TH-GRADE LEVEL.

THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, [INAUDIBLE].

OKAY, GOING FORWARD, SOME THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO BE COGNIZANT OF.

RIGHT NOW WE'RE DEALING WITH A 32% INCREASE IN CRIME.

THESE ARE AGAIN BURGLARY CONVEYANCES.

THESE NUMBERS SOMETIMES DON'T MEAN THE THINGS THAT THEY GO THROUGH TO THE BURGLARIES AND THEN WE'LL GO THROUGH A COUPLE OF MONTHS WITHOUT ANYTHING.

WE'VE HAD SEVERAL OPERATIONS.

WE'RE DOING OPERATIONS NOW, WE'RE REALLOCATING RESOURCES TO THIS.

WE TAKE PEOPLE OFF DAY SHIFT, PUT THEM ON NIGHT SHIFT.

WE ARE CONSTANTLY ENGAGED CRIME MAPPING ANALYSIS TO DEPLOY OUR RESOURCES AND THAT WON'T CHANGE.

THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS ARRESTS ALREADY THIS YEAR.

WE'VE DONE THREE AUTO BURGLAR OPERATIONS, TWO SPECIAL EVENT OPERATIONS, AND A PROACTIVE OPERATION.

ALREADY THIS YEAR, WE'VE HAD FOUR ARRESTS RELATING BURGLAR OPERATIONS, 13 REGULAR BURGLARY CHARGES, FIVE INDIVIDUALS HAVE FIVE BURGLARY AND MOTOR THEFT ARRESTS.

THREE OFFENDERS ARE CURRENTLY ON AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION.

IN LITTLE GROUPS AND CLUSTERS WE HAD NUMEROUS TIMES THIS YEAR WHERE WE'VE HAD KIDS BREAKING INTO CARS AND WE ARREST THEM AND TWO DAYS LATER THEY GOT ARRESTED.

I'LL JUST GIVE YOU ONE EXAMPLE.

KING'S POINT WHO WE'RE VERY PROTECTIVE OF, WHEN THEY WENT IN THERE AND THEY BROKE INTO A BUNCH OF CARS [INAUDIBLE] STOPPED THEM.

IT WAS JUST UNLOCKED VEHICLES.

THAT NIGHT THERE WAS A CAR CHASE.

IT ENDED IN SEMINOLE AT THE HARD ROCK CASINO.

A FORMER BSO TAMARAC DEPUTY WHO'S NOW WORKING THERE, HE RETIRED TO WORK THERE.

THESE KNUCKLEHEADS CRASHED RIGHT INTO HIS CAR AND THEY WERE ARRESTED.

THE RESPONSE WAS ABOUT 6-8 VEHICLES [INAUDIBLE] NIGHT.

THE NEXT NIGHT, WE ARRESTED THEM AGAIN ON THE CHARGES [INAUDIBLE] COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD ALL THE OTHERS.

IT'S THE SAME KIDS OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

THESE OUTREACH PROGRAMS THAT THE LIEUTENANT TALKED ABOUT ARE GOING TO BE REALLY IMPORTANT.

THIS IS A FAMILY ISSUE THAT NEEDS DEALING WITH.

BUT IT'S THE SAME KIDS OVER AND OVER AGAIN A LOT OF TIMES.

MOST OF THESE COULD BE PREVENTED BY LOCKING YOUR CARS.

WE CONTINUE DOING IT.

YOU HAVE TO REALIZE THAT THIS ECONOMY KEEPS TANKING. WHAT HAPPENS? CRIME GOES UP. IT'S NATURAL.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE ALREADY ADDRESSING IN OUR SHOP BUT AS WE LOOK FORWARD FINANCIALLY AND BUDGET-WISE, THIS TIME NEXT YEAR I MIGHT BE ASKING FOR MORE DEPUTIES DEPENDING ON WHAT'S GOING ON.

IT'S SOMETHING TO CONSIDER MOVING FORWARD WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE [INAUDIBLE].

AT THAT POINT, I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

>> ANY INITIATIVE WITH DRONES COUNTYWIDE OR CITYWIDE?

[01:40:06]

>> WE USE DRONES CURRENTLY.

WE HAVE A DRONE, [INAUDIBLE] THAT HAVE DRONES IN TOWN.

THE FAA IS VERY RESTRICTIVE ON OUR USE OF THEM AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY NAVIGATING RESOLVES AND CHANGES AS WE SPEAK.

SO OPERATIONS OF MISSING CHILDREN, BURGLARIES IN PROGRESS, ROBBERIES, SOME OF OUR SPECIAL EVENTS, BECAUSE AGAIN, IF IT'S ANY CONNECTION TO INTELLIGENCE THAT WOULD BRING VIOLENCE.

WE HAVE BEEN USING THEM.

THEY'RE VERY EFFECTIVE.

OUR AGENCY IS THE HOME OF THE LARGEST DRONE OPERATIONS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THE COUNTRY.

AT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, WE HAD OVER 70 DRONES.

WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO USE IT AS LONG AS THE FAA DOES.

THEY'RE JUST NAVIGATING PRIVACY LAWS RIGHT NOW.

>> THANK YOU.

I ACTUALLY HAVE A REQUEST.

OVER THE YEAR THAT IS AHEAD OF US, IF YOU START SEEING THAT WE HAVE A UPTAKE, PLEASE COME TO US BEFOREHAND, BEFORE WE'RE IN A HOLE AND BEING REACTIVE VERSUS PROACTIVE IF WE EVER NEED MORE OFFICERS.

IT MIGHT BE A DISCUSSION WE NEED TO HAVE SOONER THAN LATER BECAUSE EVERYONE'S SAFETY IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE.

THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> [BACKGROUND] WE WILL NOW GO TO OUR CITY CLERK.

>> SORRY ABOUT THAT.

[LAUGHTER] [OVERLAPPING].

GOOD MORNING MAYOR AND COMMISSIONER, [INAUDIBLE] THE ACTIONS THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR THE RECORD.

THIS MORNING, WE WILL GO OVER THE CITY CLERK'S BUDGET.

THE BUDGET FOR THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE THAT'S PROJECTED FOR THE FISCAL YEAR '23 IS $742,866 AND AS IT'S OUTLINED BY JEFF IN HIS PRESENTATION, THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE IS ACTUALLY HAVING A DECREASE IN OUR BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR '23.

WE LOOK AT SOME OF THE CORE FUNCTIONS OF THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE AS WELL AS THE LAYOUT OF OUR DEPARTMENT.

FOR THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE, SOME OF OUR CORE FUNCTIONS ARE SUPERVISE THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS, COORDINATE AND FULFILL PUBLIC RECORDS REQUESTS.

WE ALSO OVERSEE THE CITY'S DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS MANAGEMENT SERVICES, AND PREPARATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE CITY'S AGENDAS, AS YOU ALL KNOW, SUPPORT MATERIALS, AND THE MINUTES.

WE COORDINATE CITYWIDE LEGAL ADVERTISING, ALSO COORDINATE AND OVERSEE ADVISORY BOARDS FOR ELECTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS.

WE ALSO OVERSEE THE CODIFICATION OF DOCUMENTS WITH MUNICIPAL CODE WHICH WE USE TO QUALIFY ALL THE WORK WITNESSES THAT IS REQUIRED FOR QUALIFICATION.

WE ALSO GIVE EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE.

HOW DOES THESE CORE FUNCTIONS TIE INTO THE CITY'S MISSION, VISION AND INTO THE GOAL FOR THE CITY'S.

FOR STRATEGIC GOAL, NUMBER 3, ECONOMICALLY RESILIENT.

THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE WILL REGULARLY AND THOROUGHLY IMPROVE PROCESSES THROUGHOUT OUR DEPARTMENT TO DETERMINE AREAS WHERE WE CAN IMPROVE AND EQUATE COST-SAVING MEASURES.

IN SUPPORT OF GOAL NUMBER 5, TAMARAC IS SMART AND CONNECTED.

THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE WILL LOOK INTO INDUSTRY BEST PRACTICES AND CONSIDER CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY WHICH WE'RE DOING AT THIS POINT.

WE RECENTLY IMPLEMENTED THE KEEP AGENDA SYSTEM THAT WE'RE USING FOR AGENDA MANAGEMENT.

WE IMPLEMENTED JUST A FEW YEARS AGO, BUT OFFICIALLY, LAST FISCAL YEAR, WE FINISHED THE PROCESS WITH THE ENTIRE CITY THROUGHOUT THE DEPARTMENTS WHERE ALL OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS REQUESTS ARE BEING PROCESSED THROUGH THAT SYSTEM.

FOR STRATEGIC GOAL NUMBER 6, TAMARAC IS A DYNAMIC WORKPLACE.

THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE WILL BE A PLACE WHERE STAFF MEMBERS ARE EMPOWERED, WHERE WE LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR STAFF MEMBERS ARE GETTING THE NECESSARY TRAINING THAT IS REQUIRED OF THEM AND ALSO TO IMPROVE OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND IMPROVE

[01:45:01]

AS YOU KNOW, THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE IS PRETTY MUCH THE HEALTH OF THE CITY.

WE USE THAT TERM BECAUSE WE PRETTY MUCH WORK WITH ALL THE DEPARTMENT FROM THE CITY TO COORDINATE SOME EFFORTS IN SOME WAY.

FOR THAT, WE'RE ALSO LOOKING FOR, NOT JUST FOR RESIDENCY TERMS OF CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT ALSO OUR IN-HOUSE CUSTOMERS CARE DEPARTMENT AND FELLOW COWORKERS.

TO SUM UP THE ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR THE DEPARTMENT IN FISCAL YEAR '22, LIKE I STATED EARLIER, WE IMPLEMENTED THE PEAK AGENDA SYSTEM.

WE DID THE REDISTRICTING PROCESS, WHICH THE COMMISSION ALL MADE THE DECISION BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATION WE RECEIVED FROM THE TEAM FROM FAU THAT WE USE TO GIVE US A RECOMMENDATION AND THAT RECOMMENDATION WAS NOT TO AT THIS TIME DO REDISTRICTING BASED ON THIS.

AT THIS POINT, THEY DON'T SEE A NEED FOR US TO REDISTRICT AT THIS TIME.

WE ALSO WENT THROUGH A CHARTER REVISION BOARD, WE RECENTLY PASSED THAT ORDINANCE WHERE WE SEND OFF THE REFERENDUM QUESTIONS OF OUR COUNTY TO BE REFLECTED ON THE BALLOTS IN NOVEMBER FOR OUR RESIDENTS TO VOTE ON AND SOME OTHER CHANGES THAT WE LIKE TO SEE IN OUR CHARTER.

WE PROCESSED 1,163 PUBLIC RECORDS REQUESTS.

THIS IS A 15 PERCENT INCREASE OVER FISCAL YEAR '21.

WE'RE LOOKING TO PROJECT ABOUT 1,300 PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST FOR FISCAL YEAR '22.

AT THIS POINT YEAR TO DATE, WE ARE CURRENTLY AT 888 PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST AND THAT IS A 14 PERCENT INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR.

MOST OF OUR REQUEST AT THIS TIME ARE LUMINOUS IN NATURE.

MOST OF IT IS FOR EMAILS AND WE STILL HAVE A REGULAR REQUEST FOR BUILDING DEPARTMENT PERMIT AND IT SEEMED LIKE A LOT OF RESIDENTS ARE DOING A LOT OF WORK ON THEIR HOMES BECAUSE YOU GET A LOT OF REQUESTS FOR SURVEYS AND FOR BUILDING PLANS.

WE ALSO, LIKE I STATED EARLIER, WE IMPLEMENTED THE JUSTFOIA TRAINING THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

RIGHT NOW, ALL DEPARTMENTS ARE PROCESSING THEIR PUBLIC RECORDS REQUESTS THROUGH THE JUSTFOIA SOFTWARE.

JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO, REFERENCES MANAGEMENT TRAINING STARTED CITYWIDE.

JUST THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST THROUGH THE YEARS.

OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THERE WAS AN UPTAKE IN PUBLIC RECORDS REQUESTS.

WE HAVE A 25 PERCENT INCREASE IN PUBLIC RECORD REQUEST AND JUST IN THE FISCAL YEAR ALONE, THAT NUMBER IS UP 14 PERCENT HERE TO DATE.

OUR HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE CITY CLERK'S DEPARTMENT, LIKE I STATED EARLIER, OUR BUDGET WILL BE DECREASED AND I'M SURE THE COMMISSIONER WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THAT.

[LAUGHTER] [INAUDIBLE] IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MONEY, NOT A BIG DECREASE BUT OUR BUDGET IS BEING DECREASED.

WE HAVE AN INCREASE IN ADVERTISING AND INCREASE IN OFFICE SUPPLIES DUE TO INCOME STOCKS OVERALL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME.

>> NO QUESTIONS.

>> NO QUESTIONS, IT APPEARS. EXCELLENT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> SO YOU [INAUDIBLE], RIGHT?

>> YES. WE COULD JUST HAVE A MOMENTARY PAUSE [BACKGROUND] WE'RE GOING TO START WITH THE INITIAL PART OF THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE PRESENTATION AND THEN [INAUDIBLE].

>> GOOD MORNING, MAYOR AND SENIOR COMMISSIONERS FOR THE RECORD LISA VERA, ASSISTANT OF THE CITY MANAGER.

TODAY I WILL BE PRESENTING TO YOU THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE FISCAL YEAR 2023,

[01:50:04]

THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE IS COMPLIANCE BY 14 FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES.

IT IS STRUCTURED IN ACCORDANCE TO THE ORGANIZATIONAL CHART THAT YOU SEE ON YOUR SCREEN.

THE DEPARTMENT IS UNDER THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE CITY MANAGER.

THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE PROVIDES DIRECTION AND LEADERSHIP TO ALL DEPARTMENTS TO FACILITATE THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF ALL SIX STRATEGIC GOALS.

PARTICULARLY GOALS 1, 3, 5 AND 6.

IN SUPPORT OF GOAL 1, TAMARAC IS HOME.

THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE IDENTIFY CUSTOMERS AND THEIR NEEDS, INCLUDING CULTURAL IDENTITY, GIVEN THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A CHANGE IN COMMUNITY.

IN SUPPORT OF GOAL 3, TAMARAC IS ECONOMICALLY RESILIENT.

THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE PROMOTES ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND LEVERAGE THE TAXPAYERS DOLLARS THROW THE USER BRAIN FUNDING.

IN SUPPORT OF GOAL 5, TAMARAC IS SMART AND CONNECTED.

THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE SUPPORTS TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION THAT CREATE A SENSE OF COMMUNITY, AND ALSO IMPROVE THE RESIDENCE QUALITY OF LIFE.

IN SUPPORT OF GOAL 6, TAMARAC IS A DYNAMIC WORKPLACE.

THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE FACILITATES THE CULTURE OF PERFORMANCE, EXCELLENCE WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION.

IN RECOGNITION OF THE EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE THE CITY'S STRATEGIC GOALS INTO INCORPORATE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT INTO PUBLIC REPORTING, TRAINING, PLANNING, AND BUDGETING.

IN 2021 THE CITY RECEIVED THE ICMA PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATE.

ICMA WHICH IS THE INTERNATIONAL CITY MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION, GIVE THIS AWARD TO YOU JURISDICTIONS THAT NEED A SPECIFIC CRITERIA FOR ACHIEVEMENT, DISTINCTION OR EXCELLENCE, THE LADDER BEING THE HIGHEST LEVEL TO THIS JURISDICTIONS.

THE CITY, THROUGH THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, HAVE APPLIED AND RECEIVED THE CERTIFICATE OF EXCELLENCE IN PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT FOR EIGHT YEARS IN A ROW.

SOMETHING THAT WE'RE VERY PROUD OF.

THIS YEAR, WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO THE SAME.

NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT WE HAVE MADE IN THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE.

SOME OF THAT INCLUDES THE AMOUNT OF CUSTOMER REQUESTS THAT THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE HAS BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE IN THE PERIOD OF OCTOBER 1ST, 2020 TO DATE.

SPECIFICALLY 21ST FOR THIS NUMBERS.

IN COORDINATION WITH ALL CITY DEPARTMENTS THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE HAS BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE 1,032 REQUEST THAT CAME THROUGH OUR CRT SYSTEM.

THAT IS 96 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL REQUEST THAT WERE ASSIGNED TO THE MAYOR AND COMMISSION AND THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE ALONE.

NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE FEDERAL STIMULUS AND GRANT THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED AGAINST THE COMMUNITY PRIORITIES.

THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE ENSURED THAT WE RECEIVED 2.3 MILLION IN CARES ACT FUNDING AND 5.4 MILLION IN ARPA FUNDS.

THIS HAS BEEN POSSIBLE THROUGH THE COORDINATION WITH OUR STATE LOBBIES AT FEDERAL LOBBYISTS AS WELL AS OUR DEPARTMENT AND DIVISIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE USE THESE FUNDS EFFECTIVELY.

IN ADDITION, THE CITY RECEIVED OVER $6.5 MILLION IN GRANT FUNDING THAT WERE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE CONTINUED USE FOR OUR LOBBIES AND OUR EXTERNAL CONSULTING SERVICES FOR GRANT THAT HAVE EIGHT STAFF AND SECURITIES FOR THE MOMENT.

NOW ZOOM IN HERE THIS NUMBER AND TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT SOME OF THE FIGURES THAT ARE PART OF THESE CATEGORY.

THE NUMBERS THAT YOU SEE IN THE SCREEN ARE CATEGORIZED BY COLUMN.

THE ONES THAT ARE IN RED ARE THE ONCE WE DIDN'T RECEIVE EITHER BY GOVERNOR ACTION OR THE NPRM RECOMMENDING THESE PROJECTS FOR FUNDING UNDER THE SURTAX PROGRAM.

AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THE CITY CONTINUOUS TO BE PROACTIVE AT APPLYING

[01:55:04]

YOU CAN SEE HERE THE FIRST PORTION OF THIS SLIDE THAT THE LAST TIME THAT WE RECEIVED FUNDING FOR SURTAX WAS IN 2020 WHEN WE WERE RECOMMENDED FOR FUNDING IN THE AMOUNT OF $4 MILLION TO FUND FIVE APPROPRIATIONS PROJECTS.

NOW BY HAVING A REPRESENTATIVE IN THE SURTAX COMMITTEE AT THE BROWARD COUNTY MANAGER'S ASSOCIATION, THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE STICKS TO ADVANCE THE CITY'S INTERESTS AND PRIORITIES, THROUGH A COORDINATED REGIONAL EFFORT TO EXPAND THE CITY'S ELIGIBILITY.

WITH REGARDS TO APPROPRIATIONS TO THE STATE LEVEL, IN COORDINATION WITH OUR STATE LOBBY CELEBRATING BOTH WHO SECURE IN 2021, BOUNCING AROUND OF $300,000 FOR THE C- 14 CANAL EROSION MITIGATION PROJECT.

THIS YEAR, WE WERE ABLE TO SECURE $50,000 FOR THE GBJ DOG PARK PROJECT.

WITH REGARD TO FEDERAL APPROPRIATION, THE TAMARAC FIRST-TIME HOME-BUYER PROGRAM WAS ONE OF THE 15 REQUESTS THAT CONGRESSWOMAN'S CHERFILUS MCCORMICK MEETING.

SHE RECEIVED OVER 200 REQUESTS FROM OTHER JURISDICTIONS.

THE AMOUNT BEING REQUESTED IS $350,000.

WE'RE WAITING [INAUDIBLE].

THE LATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT THAT WE HAVE MADE, IS THE AWARD OF $1 MILLION FROM THE LAND, WATER CONSERVATION GRANT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SABAL PALM PARK.

WITH THAT I CONCLUDE MY PORTION OF THE PRESENTATION.

I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE LOUIS FROM THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MANAGER SO SHE CAN PRESENT HER PORTION OF THE PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU.

GOOD AFTERNOON HERE.

[INAUDIBLE] I LIKE THE WAY THAT KNOWLEDGE BUILDING MANAGER [INAUDIBLE] ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MISSION IS TO FOSTER ECONOMIC RESILIENCE, SUSTAINABILITY, AND COMPREHENSIVE REVITALIZATION OF CITY OF TAMARAC THROUGH EFFECTIVE PRO-GROWTH AND BUSINESS-FRIENDLY DEVELOPMENT POLICIES AND PROGRAMS. IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THIS MISSION OR TAMARAC ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN OR HEADS-UP FOR SHORT.

I'LL HIGHLIGHT FOUR KEY AREAS OF FOCUS FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM WHICH INCLUDE FOSTER COMMERCIAL REVITALIZATION, MARKETING TO ATTRACT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENT, WORKFORCE AND ENTREPRENEURIAL DEVELOPMENT, SMALL BUSINESS SUPPORT AND BUSINESS FRIENDLY APPOINTMENT.

OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS ARE ALL SEEING THEM ALIGNMENT BECAUSE THERE'S 2040 STRATEGIC PLAN, PRIMARILY THE ECONOMIC RESILIENCY; VIBRANT COMMUNITY.

TODAY, I JUST LIKE TO BRIEFLY TALK TO THE BOARD FOCUS AREAS FROM OUR [INAUDIBLE] AND HIGHLIGHT THE KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS FROM LAST YEAR.

IN THE FIRST AREA, BECAUSE HERE WE'RE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AND HEAVILY FOCUSED ON FOSTERING COMMERCIAL REVITALIZATION.

ON IMPROVING OR REDEVELOPING OUT THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES ALONG OUR MAJOR COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS, WE ARE IDENTIFYING STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS FOR COMMERCIAL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.

LAST YEAR, WE ACQUIRED FOR 21 REDEVELOPMENT AREA PROPERTY FOR FUTURE COMMERCIAL REDEVELOPMENT.

WE ALSO USE IT IN A COMMERCIAL REVITALIZATION PROJECTS AND SUCCESSFULLY ATTRACTED TO DEVELOP THAT.

WE WILL CONSTRUCT NEW UPSCALE BOOTH TRUCK RESTAURANTS AND RETAIL IN THE MEDICAL MILE REDEVELOPMENT AREA.

UPON THE SALE OF THE CITY OWNED LAND, THE CITY WILL RECEIVE 1 MILLION AND DIRECT OVER 1 MILLION IN DIRECT REVENUE, AS WELL AS FIRST GENERATING COMMERCIAL PROPERTY TAXES TO THE CITY UPON COMPLETION.

IN LOOKING AT THESE STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES, SPECIFICALLY ABLE TO CONTROL THE REDEVELOPMENT PROCESS.

IT GIVES US THE ABILITY TO ISSUE REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS.

WE WOULD ALSO LIKE THE COMMERCIAL PROJECTS AND WE WANT TO SEE DEVELOPED IN THE COMMUNITY.

IT'S FOCUS IS [INAUDIBLE] AND OF COURSE, THE SELLING OR TRIVIAL QUESTION, AS I MENTIONED,

[02:00:02]

THIS IS A VERY PROACTIVE INVESTMENT APPROACH.

OUR CITIES PERFECTLY CATALYZE THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND WE WANT TO SEE YOU IN THE COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORTS OUR STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS, REVITALIZING THE COMMUNITY AND ALSO OF COURSE GENERATING THE TAXES.

ANOTHER MAJOR FOCUS AREA IN LAST YEAR IS THE DEVELOPING, ADAPTING AND LAUNCHING THE DEVELOPER INCENTIVE PROGRAM.

THE TWO GRAND PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO ADVANCE THROUGH THE BRANDS AND REVITALIZING OUR COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS AND PROJECTS.

WE'VE BEEN HEAVILY MARKETING THIS PROGRAM [INAUDIBLE] DEVELOPERS AND PLEASED TO REPORT THAT TO DATE WE HAD 11 TRANSFORMATIVE PROGRAM RENOVATION PROJECTS IN THE PIPELINE, WHEN THEY'RE READY, AND OF COURSE WE'VE AGREED [INAUDIBLE] FINAL APPROVAL WITH GREAT AGREEMENTS.

WE'RE ALSO DILIGENTLY WORKING ON MARKETING AND OUTREACH TO ATTRACT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS.

WHAT THIS BASICALLY MEANS IS SHOWCASING GENEROUS OPPORTUNITIES, AND GETTING IN FRONT OF THE RIGHT AUDIENCES, SO BOTH WILL ATTRACT NEW BUSINESSES AND COMMERCIAL REDEVELOPMENTS.

WE UTILIZE EXISTING NETWORKS TO SOUTH FLORIDA PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS OF COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE BROKERS AND INVESTORS AND JUST A FEW EXAMPLES THAT INCLUDE HOSTING AND THEY ACT AS AN ORGANIZATION OF COMMERCIAL BROKERS.

YOU GET THOSE DEVELOPERS IN SOUTH FLORIDA.

[INAUDIBLE] WAS LESS THAN 100 BROKERS AND DEVELOPERS ATTENDING THE ICSE ORLANDO RETAIL INDUSTRY DEAL MAKERS TRADE SHOW, MEETING BACK-TO-BACK WITH COMMERCIAL DEVELOPERS AND RETAILERS OVER THERE.

THOSE INFORMATION [INAUDIBLE] INFORMATION OFFICE.

WE'RE ALSO HOLDING TAMARAC'S OPPORTUNITIES AND DIFFERENT PROGRAMS IN COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE INVESTOR PUBLICATIONS SUCH AS THE INVEST, NEWLINE MAGAZINE, THE ECONOMICS COURSE BOOK WHICH [INAUDIBLE] THOSE ARE JUST A FEW HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR MARKETING AND OUTREACH.

WE'RE ALSO UPDATING OUR MARKETING COLLATERAL AND HAVE ALSO LAUNCHED A NEW ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WEBSITE THAT WE BUILT IN-HOUSE [INAUDIBLE] IN WHICH WE'RE CURRENTLY ACCEPTING OUR NEW DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPLICATIONS.

[BACKGROUND] ECONOMIC [INAUDIBLE] YOU JUST WANT TO SHARE WITH ECONOMICS INVOLVEMENT AND IT'S ABOUT CREATING VALUE AND ENHANCING THE TAX-BASED REDEVELOPMENT, BUT IT'S ALSO ABOUT INCREASING COMMUNITY [INAUDIBLE] BEEN WORKED FOR A SMALL BUSINESS AND ENTREPRENEURIAL DEVELOPMENT.

ONE KEY ELEMENT OF OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM IS A PARTNERSHIP WITH BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA PROGRAM TO PROVIDE WORKFORCE, DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES TO TAME OUR CONFIDENCE TO UPSCALE, AND FREE CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS AND COURSES PROVIDING THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAP INTO IN-DEMAND REFRESHMENTS AND KEY GROWTH INDUSTRIES IN OUR REGION.

THROUGH THIS PROGRAM AND OUR PARTNERSHIP [INAUDIBLE] IMPORTANTLY, WE'RE ABLE TO INDICATE 131 FOR THEM TO OBTAIN IT FINANCIALLY, OR 131 TAMARAC RESIDENTS IN THIS LAST YEAR.

OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN ALSO CALLS FOR SMALL BUSINESS MARKET MEASURE TO PUT AND HELP IN BUSINESSES COMING INTO THE COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING, SAY LOCATION ASSISTANCE, PROVIDING TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND REFERRALS FOR EXISTING SMALL BUSINESSES TO ACCESS CAPITAL, THE NORMAL BUSINESS PLANS, LEARN HOW TO EFFECTIVELY MARKET TO GROW THEIR BUSINESSES, AND ALSO [INAUDIBLE] TO PROMOTE NEW AND EXTENDED BUSINESSES AND BUSINESS SUCCESS STORIES TO THE COMMUNITY AND SOCIAL MEDIA IN TOWN GROUND.

IT HAS CREATED MANY NEW BUSINESSES AND EVEN INTO THE COMMUNITY AND OF COURSE, AS WE MENTIONED EARLIER TODAY, AMAZON WITH 500 NEW EMPLOYEES IN THE LAST YEAR.

OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AND DESIGN PARTNERS CLOSELY WITH THE LOCAL CHAMBER AND OTHER LOCAL AGENCY RESOURCES TO PROMOTE ALL LOCAL BUSINESSES AND STRENGTHEN EVERYTHING'S NETWORK THROUGH EVENTS LIKE THE BUSINESS EXPO.

THEN IT [INAUDIBLE] CHAMBER DURING NATIONAL SMALL BUSINESS WEEK LAST MONTH.

ALSO HAVE IN A FEW PARTNERSHIPS TO PROMOTE THE COMMUNITY.

BROWARD [INAUDIBLE] PROGRAM, CONTRACT EVERY PROCUREMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND PROMOTE AS WELL AS EMPHASIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF GETTING CERTIFIED AS A SMALL BUSINESS.

OF COURSE, I WANTED TO MENTION THE NEXT YEAR OR THE [INAUDIBLE] WAS OUR EXTENDED A SIX-MONTH CAMPAIGN TO PROMOTE OUR RESTAURANTS AND OUR 50 PLUS MOM-AND-POP RESTAURANTS THAT WERE STRUGGLING IN THE INVESTMENT BEFORE THEN.

I'M PLEASED TO REPORT [INAUDIBLE] STORIES FEATURING OUR SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAMS AND PROMOTED TAMARAC STABILITY WAY OF AUTHENTIC DISEASE IN THE REGION WHICH ACTUALLY TURNED OUT TO BE ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR DIGITAL [INAUDIBLE]

[02:05:01]

[02:13:07]

>> IT IS 1:10, WE ARE GOING TO RESUME OUR BUDGET MEETING.

THANK YOU EVERYBODY.

ADDITIONALLY, IF YOU BREAK IT DOWN BY PLATFORM, WE'LL SEE THAT THAT GROWTH WAS ABOUT 36.5 PERCENT ON FACEBOOK, BUT SEVEN PERCENT ON TWITTER, WHICH IS PROBABLY THE LEAST POPULAR OF OUR PLATFORMS, INSTAGRAM HAS ABOUT 1.03, AND NEXTDOOR ABOUT 31.4 PERCENT.

REGARDING OUR INTERNAL PROJECTS, AS THE ADVISOR OF THE DEPARTMENT WHO REPRESENTED PRIOR TO ME, WE WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH EVERY DEPARTMENT TO GET MESSAGING OUT, PRETTY MUCH ALL THE DEPARTMENTS IN SOME CAPACITY.

THAT WORK RANGES FROM IN-HOUSE PRODUCTION OF PSAS, WE WORK WITH FINANCE, WE WORK FREQUENTLY WITH DSL TAMARAC, WE WORK FREQUENTLY WITH TAMARAC FIRE, WE'VE ALSO, A FUN PROJECT THAT WE'VE RECENTLY DONE WAS TO ASSIST WITH THE LAUNCH STRATEGY FOR THE NEW COUPLE'S DEBATE PROGRAM, WE'VE ALSO HELPED WITH PROMOTIONS OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION EVENTS AND PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES, SOME OF THEM OUR PROGRESS IS KNOWN, BUT HIGHLY IMPACTED PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN PHRASED IN ONE [INAUDIBLE], AND THE SENIOR TRIPS FOR ADULTS OVER 55, [INAUDIBLE] APPLIES TO VERY IMPORTANT PROGRAMS LIKE OUR OWNERSHIP PROGRAMS AS WELL AS OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GRANT PROGRAMS. IN REGARDS TO MEDIA RELATIONS WE HAVE A [INAUDIBLE] UPWARDS OF COORDINATE INFORMATION AND RECORDS REQUESTS TO DATE THIS YEAR, AND WE'VE ALSO INCREASED THE NUMBER OF PRESS RELEASES THAT WE HAVE DISTRIBUTED FROM OUR OFFICE, AND WE'RE STILL UTILIZING OUR EVOLVING [INAUDIBLE] DISTRIBUTION LISTS, AND OUR WEBPAGE.

WE ARE CONTINUING TO UTILIZE THE TAMARAC.ORG-/NEWS PAGE, WHICH IS WHERE WE HOUSE OUR PRESS RELEASES, SO JUST AS THE MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA ARE FINDING OUT ABOUT THE LATEST NEWS AND EVENTS HAPPENING IN TAMARAC, WE ALSO GIVE THE OPTIONS TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC IF THEY WANT TO GO AND SEE THOSE SAME MESSAGES AND POINT THAT TO THE MEDIA.

OUR MEDIA RELATIONS EFFORTS HAVE RESULTED IN EARNED MEDIA COVERAGE, OUR COGNITIVE MEDIA COVERAGE ON A RANGE OF PLATFORMS THROUGHOUT SOUTH FLORIDA, SOME OF THEM ARE IN REGARDS TO PRIMARY EVENTS OR PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENTS, BUT WHEN WE FOUND THIS, AND THEN WE HAVE PROGRAMS THAT ARE VERY UNIQUE TO TAMARAC THAT YOU CAN ONLY FIND HERE, TAMARAC CAN ALSO SECURE IN ON THE STORIES.

SOME OF THOSE PLATFORMS INCLUDES SOUTH FLORIDA PRETTY NEWS, THE WESTSIDE GAZETTE, SOME [INAUDIBLE] OF THE PRT CALENDAR WEBSITE, [INAUDIBLE], HOT 105 ON INTERVIEWS WITH RODNEY BALTIMORE, [INAUDIBLE] NEWSPAPER, AND WE'RE EXCITED THAT IN COMING MONTHS WE'LL ALSO BE FEATURED IN A TOTALLY LISTED IN QUALITY CITIZENS MAGAZINE.

WE'VE ALSO EXTENDED OUR RELATIONSHIP OR CONTINUED OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH SOME OF OUR PAY ON ADVERTISERS, SOME OF THOSE ADVERTISERS AGAIN INCLUDE [INAUDIBLE] TALKS MEDIA, IHEARTRADIO, WE'VE DONE IN SPANISH LANGUAGE ON ADVERTISING MEMBERSHIP USA, WABS, [INAUDIBLE] LISTENERS, WE'VE ALSO WORKED WITH THE WESTSIDE GAZETTE.

I THINK I ALREADY SAID THAT.

JUST TO NAME A FEW.

SOME OF THE UPCOMING PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGNS YOU CAN EXPECT TO SEE ON THESE TYPES OF PAID ADVERTISING MAYBE PROMOTIONS OF A ROCK N' RIDE IN AUGUST AND [INAUDIBLE] THE TAM-A-GRAM, [INAUDIBLE] TAMARAC RESIDENT SURVEY SHOWED THAT TAM-A-GRAM WAS IDENTIFIED AS A SOURCE FOR LEARNING ABOUT THE PROGRAM, ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS FOR ABOUT 78 PERCENT OF THOSE SURVEYED.

I THINK SURVEY ALSO INDICATED THAT THE TAM-A-GRAM IS THE PREFERRED RESOURCE ABOUT OUR CITY FOR 55 PERCENT OF THE RESPONDENTS TO THE SURVEY.

VERY PROUD OF THAT.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING HARD TO SHIFT THE CONTENT FOCUS OF THE TAM-A-GRAM ON OUR CITY'S OFFICIAL PUBLICATION.

YOU'RE NOW SEEING MORE FEATURE STORIES IN TAM-A-GRAM THAT

[02:20:01]

OUR INJURY IN FACT AT TAM-A-GRAM REFLECTS THE DIVERSITY AND PRIDE AND TRADITIONS OF OUR COMMUNITIES, SO YOU'RE SEEING MORE CONTENT THAT FREQUENTLY DEPICT THOSE THINGS, AND ALSO, THE TAM-A-GRAM DESIGN REFRESHER IS ALSO UNDERWAY, WE'RE WORKING CLOSELY WITH ETHNOGRAPHIC AND ACTUALLY LAYS OUT TAM-A-GRAM, SO WE'RE WORKING TO TRY AND MODERNIZE THE LOOK AND FEEL OF THE TAM-A-GRAM LAYOUT SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN OUR FIELD THROUGH OBVIOUS.

WE CAN'T FORGET THE TAM-A-GRAM EXTRA, WHICH IS OUR MONTHLY NEWSLETTER AND WHICH IS OUR INVENTED PROGRAM, AND IT'S STILL HAPPENING AS WELL.

[NOISE] THAT IS ACTUALLY MY FINAL SLIDE.

ARE THERE IS ANY QUESTIONS?

>> I HAVE A QUESTION.

AS FAR AS THE TAM-A-GRAM BEING SENT OUT THROUGH A LINK TO AVOID COUNTING THAT SOMETHING WE'RE DOING, TRANSITIONING [INAUDIBLE]?

>> WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT DISCUSSION YET, BUT THE TAM-A-GRAM IS STILL INTACT ONE AWAY.

EACH TIME A NEW ISSUE COMES OUT, WE INCLUDED IN THE TAM-A-GRAM EXTRA.

THE VIRTUAL TAM-A-GRAM IS WHERE WE'LL LET PEOPLE KNOW ALSO ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

I GUESS THE GREATER BENEFIT INCLUDES THE COST SAVINGS, IS JUST PUSHING THE WORD OUT ABOUT TAM-A-GRAM TO A WIDER DEMOGRAPH AUDIENCE, AND WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT [INAUDIBLE]

>> [INAUDIBLE].

>> THANK YOU. YOU CAN AGREE THAT WE'RE DOING A GREAT JOB AND I THINK THAT WHEN YOU HAVE MOST OF OUR POPULATION READING THE TAM-A-GRAM WHEN IT PRINTS, I THINK IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE [INAUDIBLE] FROM THEM.

REALLY IMMEDIATE INFORMATION THAT THEY NEED AND ONE THAT IS NOT ON A TIMELY BASIS, WE HAVE THE OTHER OPTIONS FOR THAT.

[INAUDIBLE] AS I SHARED BEFORE, I THINK WE CAN JUST MOVE TO OUR PAGE, WHICH IS 30 PAGES AND IT CAN CUT COST DOWN BY THAT IF WE NEED TO DO SAVINGS, 30 MORE PAGES WON'T HURT.

OTHER COMMENTS? PRODUCT THAT WE'VE REVIEWED DUE TO LAST. WE APPRECIATE AGAIN.

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT. [NOISE]

>> WE'RE NOW GOING TO OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

[INAUDIBLE] [NOISE]

>> MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, MAXINE CALLOWAY, DIRECTOR OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, FOR THE RECORD.

[INAUDIBLE] COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

WE HAVE A FISCAL YEAR 2023 PROPOSED BUDGET OF $2,497,932.

OUR DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW.

OUR DEPARTMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY.

WE DO MUCH MORE THOUGH, BUT AS TAMARAC COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, OUR DIVISIONS SPECIFICALLY ARE PLANNING AND ZONING, CODE COMPLIANCE, HOUSING, AND BUSINESS REVENUE.

WHEN I GO OVER THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS, I'LL DO IT BY DIVISION.

OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES ARE REALLY ALIGNED TO GOAL NUMBER 1, WHICH IS TAMARAC IS HOME, GOAL NUMBER 3, WHICH IS TAMARAC IS ECONOMICALLY RESILIENT, AND GOAL NUMBER 4, WHICH IS TAMARAC IS VIBRANT.

OUR FISCAL YEAR 2021-2022 ACCOMPLISHMENT BY DIVISION START WITH CODE COMPLIANCE INCLUDES A CURB APPEAL PROGRAM.

I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT IT CAME OUT TO BE REALLY QUICK AND REALLY WELL.

WE HAD A LOT OF RESPONSE FROM MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.

WE RESPONDED TO 23 RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES WHO ACCEPTED THE CURB APPEAL PROGRAM, THE PAINT PROGRAM, WE DID FOUR RESIDENTIAL HOMES.

OUR NUISANCE ABATEMENT PROGRAM, WE DID SIX PROPERTY VIOLATIONS WHICH WERE ABATED BY THE CITY THROUGH THE USE OF A VENDOR.

OUR VACANT PROPERTY REGISTRATION PROGRAM, WE REGISTERED 21 VACANT PROPERTIES AND WE RENEWED OUR REGISTRATION ON 23 PROPERTIES.

OUR VACATION RENTAL REGISTRATION PROGRAM IS STILL GOING.

WE HAVE TWO PROPERTIES IN THE CITY THAT ARE REGISTERED AS A PART OF THE VACATION RENTAL PROGRAM.

[02:25:02]

ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THE HOUSING DIVISION IN OUR 2021 NEIGHBORHOOD PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM, WE PROCESSED THREE APPLICATIONS AND THEY WERE APPROVED FOR FUNDING.

THIS IS THE HOA NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAM THAT'LL PROVIDE FUNDING FOR COMMON AREA IMPROVEMENTS.

OUR FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYER PROGRAM, WE PROCESSED THREE CASES AND WE HAVE 159 NAMES THAT ARE STILL ON THE WAITING LIST.

AS YOU MIGHT RECALL, WE CHANGED THAT PROGRAM SO WE CAN PROVIDE THEM WITH EFFICIENCY.

WE'RE ASKING PROPERTY OWNERS NOW, OR INTERESTED PROPERTY OWNERS WHO WANT TO BUY PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY TAMARAC, TO FIRST BRING US A CONTRACT.

THAT WAY, WE CAN BE MORE EFFICIENT AND PROCESS EQUIPMENT, GIVEN THE FATE OF THE MARKET.

OUR MINOR HOME REPAIR PROGRAM, WE PROCESSED 30 APPLICATIONS TO DATE.

NSP3 PROGRAM, WHICH IS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD STANDARDIZATION PROGRAM THAT IS CLOSING OFF, WE JUST CLOSED OUR LAST PROPERTY LAST MONTH.

THAT WAS AWARDED TO A TAMARAC EMPLOYEE AND SO WITH THOSE FUNDS THE PROGRAM IS NOW COMPLETELY CLOSED AND ALL 12 PROPERTIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED, WITH AN ALLOCATION OF $1,427,857.

OUR CDBG PUBLIC SERVICE PROGRAM IS VERY ACTIVE COMING OFF FROM COVID AND IN THE MIDST OF COVID.

WE RESPONDED TO SENIORS BY PROVIDING 87 MEALS, USING OUR VENDOR MEALS ON WHEELS.

WE USED VOICES FOR CHILDREN, WHICH IS ONE OF OUR CO-RECIPIENT THAT HAS HELPED US WITH OUR PROGRAM.

IT PROVIDED 131 STUDENTS, PREVENTATIVE AND INTERVENTIVE SERVICE.

ONE HUNDRED STUDENTS WERE PROVIDED TABLETS WITH A ONE-YEAR INTERNET SERVICE AND THAT WAS WITH T-MOBILE. OUR MORTGAGE, RENT.

HOA FEES AND UTILITY PROGRAM, WHICH IS THE EMERGENCY RESIDENTIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, WE WERE ABLE TO ASSIST 329 HOUSEHOLDS WITH $545,501, OVER HALF A MILLION DOLLARS WERE EXTENDED TO [INAUDIBLE].

AS IT RELATED TO PLANNING AND ZONING, WE REVIEWED 17 SITE PLANS THIS YEAR, 40 PLANNING APPLICATIONS, 1,668 ZONING PLAN REVIEW, AND OF COURSE, WE'RE STILL WORKING WITH BROWARD COUNTY WITH THE INSTALLATION OF OUR BUS SHELTERS AND THAT THE 22 SHELTERS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED.

WITH BUSINESS REVENUE WE HAVE NEW BUSINESS TAX RECEIPTS OF 205 TAX RECEIPTS AS AT MAY THIS YEAR, WHICH IS A DROP FROM LAST YEAR, WHERE WE HAD 346, THIS TIME LAST YEAR.

BUSINESS REVENUE COLLECTED, 921 AS AT MAY, LAST YEAR WE HAD OVER 2,000, THIS TIME LAST YEAR.

THE TOTAL NUMBER OF BUSINESS TAX RECEIPTS IN DOLLAR FIGURE IS $264,000 AS AT MAY THIS YEAR WHEN LAST YEAR AT SAME TIME IT WAS $628,090.

INSPIRATION WAYS, OF COURSE ONE OF OUR ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR, AS YOU MIGHT SEE IN THE PULSE THAT WE HAVE CHANGED OUT THE INSTALLATION AND THIS IS A NEW INSTALLATION THAT WILL GO TO THE FALL OF THIS YEAR.

INITIATIVES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023 INCLUDES THE NON-RESIDENTIAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, WHICH OUR BUDGET WILL BE INCREASING BY $100,000.

THIS IS REALLY IN RESPONSE TO ONE OF YOUR STRATEGIC PRIORITY.

I'LL PROVIDE A LIST OF COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES.

THIS WILL BE A BIT DIFFERENT FROM LOW-RISK PROGRAM.

THIS IS REALLY MEANT TO ADJUST HEDGES, LANDSCAPING, PARKING LOT, MAYBE PAINT, BUT THOSE SMALL ISLANDS ISSUES THAT WILL REALLY IMPACT APPEARANCE ON COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES.

THE RESIDENTIAL EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM- ROUND 6 WILL BE ANOTHER INITIATIVE FOR 2023.

THIS FUNDING WILL BE STATE FUNDING, THE CITY SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION THIS YEAR AND WE WERE AWARDED $181,000 AND THOSE FUNDS WILL BE USED FOR ROUND 6 AND THIS WILL BE THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE, THE HOA ASSISTANCE AS WELL AS THE UTILITY ASSISTANCE.

WE EXPECT TO OPEN THAT SOMETIME LATE SUMMER ONCE WE RECEIVE THE AGREEMENTS FROM THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

THE BUS SHELTER PROGRAM IS ANOTHER ONE OF OUR INITIATIVE THAT WE WILL HAVE FOR OUR NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

THAT WILL BE THE INSTALLATION OF AN ADDITIONAL 40 BUS SHELTER AND THAT ITEM

[02:30:05]

WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF NEGOTIATING WITH BROWARD COUNTY TO BRING FORWARD THE SECOND ONE.

SOME OF THE PUBLIC ART SIGNIFICANT SCULPTURE THAT ARE EITHER UNDERWAY OR WILL BE, ENTER PART OF THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR IS THE DELAMINATION, THIS WILL BE A FIRE STATION 36.

WE EXPECT THE ARTISTS TO BEGIN THE WORK SOMETIME LATE SUMMER THIS YEAR.

SUNSET PARK VIEWING PLATFORM.

THAT PROJECT IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY.

WE KNOW THAT THE CONTRACTORS ARE ALREADY OUT THERE AND CONSTRUCTION HAS COMMENCED.

TAMARAC VILLAGE, BOTH THE SPLASH PAD AND THE THEATRE AND THE SCULPTURE.

THAT'S CURRENTLY UNDERWAY AS WELL AND TAMARAC VILLAGE SOCIAL JUSTICE WALL, I KNOW THAT WE HAVE AN ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION ON THAT COMING UP ON THE NEXT COMMISSION AGENDA.

BUT THAT PROJECT WILL COMMENCE SOMETIME AFTER THE SUMMER THIS YEAR.

OUR TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN IS ANOTHER MAJOR PROJECT THAT WE WILL HAVE IN 2023.

I I KNOW THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO COME BEFORE THE COMMISSION IN JULY 13, BUT THAT WILL REALLY BE A SIGNIFICANT DISCUSSION WITH THE COMMUNITY AND THE STAFF AS IT RELATES TO TRANSPORTATION IMPACTS IN THE CITY AND ON OUR MAJOR ROADWAYS.

OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SIGNAGE PROGRAM IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT WE HAVE INSTALLED TO DATE ALMOST 20 SIGNS AND WE ARE PROGRESSING AS THE [INAUDIBLE] CONTRACTS WITH NEIGHBORHOODS, SO THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY.

LASTLY, OUR TAMARAC 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE, WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO SELECT A CONSULTANT THAT'S GOING TO HELP WITH THAT.

THAT WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT PROJECT THAT WILL BE IN 2023, WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY THROUGH ASSURANCE.

MAKING SURE THAT WE UNDERSTAND THE COMMUNITIES NEEDS, THOSE REFLECTED IN OUR LONG-RANGE PLAN, WHICH WILL BE THE 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE.

I'D LIKE TO CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, I TAKE QUESTIONS NOW.

>> THANK YOU, MS. MAXINE.

YOU SAID THAT TAMARAC 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE IS LIKE [INAUDIBLE] GET TO CHRISTMAS, ALREADY TODAY, NOT IN 6 MONTHS.

CAN YOU ELABORATE MAYBE JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS? I'D PROBABLY EXPECT WE ARE GOING TO START SEEING FLYING VEHICLES.

[BACKGROUND] ONE THING I REALLY WANT TO MENTION, I'VE GOT A MESSAGE FROM THE RESIDENT, AND A LOT OF RESIDENTS ARE PUTTING UP SOLAR PANELS, THEY'RE HOOKING UP TO THEIR HOMES FOR EV VEHICLES.

SO IN 2040, WE MIGHT NOT EVEN BE GETTING ANY FUEL CONCESSIONS, LET'S JUST SAY FPL MAY NOT GIVE US REVENUE BECAUSE OF SOLAR PANELS.

IS THAT BEING THOUGHT OF? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WILL BE THOUGHT OF? LET'S SAY FOR EXAMPLE ALSO IN GARBAGE.

MY WIFE IS LOOKING INTO BUYING A SYSTEM THAT'S INSTALLED IN [INAUDIBLE].

IT'S A GARBAGE BIN AND IT'S LIKE RENEWABLE STUFF, COMPOSTING.

IS THAT PART OF THE 2040 VISION, AND CAN YOU ELABORATE [INAUDIBLE] MORE THINGS THAT YOU THINK WILL BE ON THERE?

>> JUST TO ADDRESS THE SOLAR PANEL, THE CITY HAS A SOLSMART DESIGNATION.

RIGHT NOW IT'S EXPEDITED PERMIT FOR THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT FOR ANYONE WHO'D LIKE TO PUT SOLAR PANELS ON THEIR HOME.

WE ALREADY HAVE A DESIGNATION.

BUT AS IT RELATES TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, IT'S A STATUTORY DOCUMENT THAT EACH STATE MUNICIPALITY GREATER THAN 50,000 MUST HAVE.

I BELIEVE I'VE GIVEN A PRESENTATION TO THIS BODY THAT INCLUDES THAT THERE ARE ELEMENTS THAT NEEDS TO BE PUT INTO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SOME OF THE MAJOR ONES ARE YOUR '90S ELEMENTS THAT SPEAK TO THE '90S DESIGNATIONS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO SUPPORT THE FUTURE GROWTH.

IT HAS A TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT.

IT HAS A PARKS AND RECREATION ELEMENT.

IT HAS AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ELEMENT THAT [INAUDIBLE] SPOKE OF.

ALL THOSE ELEMENTS WILL BE UPDATED AND IT WILL REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT INVOLVEMENT WITH THE COMMUNITY AND YOU AS STAKEHOLDERS AS WELL.

ONCE A CONSULTANT IS BROUGHT ONBOARD, WE WILL HAVE THEM MEET WITH YOU INDIVIDUALLY OR AS A GROUP, AND THEN THEY GO OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY AND SOLICIT FROM THE COMMUNITY WHAT IT IS THAT THEY'D LIKE TO SEE THEIR COMMUNITY EVOLVE TO LOOK LIKE IN THE NEXT 10-15 YEARS.

THOSE THINGS SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION.

THAT WILL BE YOUR PLAN THAT WILL THEN GO INTO THIS DOCUMENT FOR FUTURE IMPLEMENTATION.

IT ULTIMATELY THEN IS IMPLEMENTED BY THE [INAUDIBLE].

[02:35:06]

>> I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING.

I ALSO KNOW THAT SOME OF OUR RESIDENTS ARE ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH THE [INAUDIBLE].

THEY [INAUDIBLE] JUST TO SEE THE ELEPHANT.

THIS IS SOMETHING INTEGRAL TO THE PARKS DEPARTMENT.

WHEN IT'S APPROPRIATE, [INAUDIBLE] WOULD LIKE THE NOSE TO BE UPWARD BECAUSE THERE IS GOOD LUCK FOR UPWARD [INAUDIBLE].

ALSO, WE ARE TRYING TO PASS [INAUDIBLE].

THAT'S JUST BE SIGNED, AND THEN FACING THE [INAUDIBLE] AS WELL FOR CULTURAL PURPOSES.

IF NOT IN HERE, BUT I KNOW YOU'RE NOT SURPRISED WHAT I'M ABOUT TO ASK FOR. NOBODY IS SURPRISED.

I'D LIKE TO SEE THE BUDGET, AND FOR DISCUSSION, CODE ENFORCEMENT.

EVENING CODE-ENFORCEMENT, PART-TIME CODE-ENFORCEMENT.

WE HAVE CODES ON OUR BOOKS.

WE ARE WORKING WITH THE PARKING ORDINANCE, WE ARE WORKING WITH THE NOISE ORDINANCE, WE HAVE OUR [INAUDIBLE] ORDINANCE.

WE HAVE ORDINANCES IN PLACE THAT WE HAVE THINGS THAT ARE [INAUDIBLE] TO ENFORCE [INAUDIBLE], BUT THEY'RE NOT HERE.

THEY COULD BE CERTIFIED.

THERE ARE SOME TRAINING FOR IT.

THE HOUSE CAN BE ADJUSTED.

I REALLY THINK THE CITY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR OUR PEOPLE, WE CAN'T JUST BE PUTTING IN ORDINANCES THAT HAVE NO TEETH.

TO SAY THAT CODE IS MORE PASSIVE, [INAUDIBLE] AS WE ARE GIVEN, OR PROBABLY [INAUDIBLE] OFFICERS WHO HANDLE OFFICIAL OFFICER AT WORK SO THEY HAVE CODE [INAUDIBLE] THEY COME OUT AND THEN DEAL WITH THE FIGHT.

IT ALSO DOESN'T MAKE OUR RESIDENTS FEEL BETTER WHEN THEY HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER DAY TO GET SOMEBODY THE STOP MUSIC, EVEN THOUGH [INAUDIBLE] BEEN OUT THERE [INAUDIBLE].

AGAIN, THERE'S NO FEELING THAT WHAT WE'RE PUTTING FORTH IS GOING TO HAVE ANY BACKUP.

IF YOU DON'T PUT A PERSON OR PEOPLE IN PLACE TO DO THE WORK THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AN ORDINANCE [INAUDIBLE], THEN WHAT'S THE POINT? I KNOW THAT EQUALS MONEY, WHICH I THINK WE HAVE A VERY EASY SOLUTION TO.

BESIDES TAKING THE [INAUDIBLE], OUR $25,000 INITIATIVE FUND.

WE ARE THE COMMISSION.

WHERE THERE'S A POLICY, WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO [INAUDIBLE].

WE'VE GOT A GREAT PARK AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT THAT HANDLES OUR EVENTS AND ALL THE THINGS THAT GO INTO MAKING OUR EVENTS SPECIAL AND WORK WELL.

WE'VE GOT THE SERVICES OF OUR RESCUER OR OUR [INAUDIBLE] OUT THERE.

WE DON'T NEED TO BE DOING EVENTS.

WE NEED TO GO BACK TO DOING MORE OF OUR CITY.

I THINK WE CAN FUND IT BY REMOVING THAT $25,000.

I KNOW THAT IT PROBABLY WON'T GO [INAUDIBLE], BUT IT USED TO BE DOWN TO 1500 AND THEN JUMP TO 3,000 [INAUDIBLE] $6,500.

MAYBE SOMEWHERE IN THERE WE CAN FIGURE OUT ANOTHER PRICE [INAUDIBLE].

BUT THAT'S MY COMMENT.

WELCOME BACK [INAUDIBLE] FOR BEING IN OUR TEAM.

WE NOW HAVE EVERYBODY IN THE BUILDING. COMMISSION [INAUDIBLE].

>> THANK YOU. NEXT THING, I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING ON THE RECORD WHILE EVERYONE'S HERE.

[INAUDIBLE] IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE PERSON I'VE EVER WORKED WITH.

HE HAS THE MOST HORRIBLE JOB [INAUDIBLE] MANY PEOPLE CONSTANTLY.

HE IS SO PROFESSIONAL, AND BY THE TIME HE GETS DONE TALKING TO, THEY'RE HAPPY.

I DON'T KNOW HOW HE DOES IT, BUT I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT HE IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.

HE'S NEVER LOST HIS PATIENCE.

HE ALWAYS APPEARS TO BE HAPPY TO TALK [INAUDIBLE].

HE'S JUST REALLY INCREDIBLE.

I WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT AND PLEASE EVERYONE KNOW AS WELL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. [INAUDIBLE]

>> I AGREE WITH [INAUDIBLE].

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION [INAUDIBLE].

NOW WE GO TO FIRE RESCUE [INAUDIBLE] .[NOISE]

>> GOOD AFTERNOON.

[FOREIGN]

[02:49:28]

>> WE WERE ABLE TO PROMOTE 14 EMPLOYEES INTERNALLY DURING OCTOBER TO MAY 31ST,

[02:49:34]

WE RECENTLY HIRED 22 ADDITIONAL STAFF FOR SUMMER CAMP, AND THOSE EMPLOYEES BEGIN WORK ON MONDAY.

WE ADMINISTER 310 ASSESSMENTS WHICH WERE CONDUCTED IN CONNECTION WITH THESE RECRUITMENTS INCLUDING FIRE RESCUE, DRIVER ENGINEER PROMOTIONAL, WRITTEN AND PRACTICAL EXAMS, AS WELL AS ENTRY-LEVEL FIREFIGHTER PARAMEDIC WRITTEN AND PRACTICAL TESTING.

BASICALLY, WE HIRED AN AVERAGE OF 1.75

[02:50:03]

UNDER EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION, THE DEPARTMENT FOCUSED ON INCREASING EMPLOYEE'S ACCESS TO ONLINE TRAINING, WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY ENHANCE THE TECHNICAL SUPERVISING AND MANAGEMENT OF DEVELOPMENT.

AN EMPLOYEE TASK FORCE AS THE CITY MANAGER POINTED OUT EARLIER WAS APPOINTED EARLIER THIS YEAR BY HER AND THEIR GOAL WAS TO REVIEW AND REFRESH TO SEE THE RECOGNITION PROGRAM, AND WE ANTICIPATE THE RECOMMENDATION SHOULD BE COMING TO HER IN THE NEXT COMING WEEKS.

OCTOBER 2021, WE HAD 37 EMPLOYEES PARTICIPATE IN LEVELS 1 OR 2 OF THE PROGRAM CALLED SUPERVISION AND GOVERNMENT.

WE'VE HAD 47 NEW EMPLOYEES AND THEY ATTENDED EMPLOYEE ORIENTATION FOR THREE SESSIONS.

THIS YEAR SOME OF OUR STAFF ARE CURRENTLY IN ORIENTATION AS WE SPEAK.

WE'VE GOT 24 EMPLOYEES ENROLLED AND ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING IN TOASTMASTERS OF TAMARAC CLUB.

WE HAVE 11 PAIRS WITH 22 PARTICIPANTS IN OUR EMPLOYEE MENTORSHIP PROGRAM.

OUR CITYWIDE COMPLIANCE TRAINING CONSISTING OF A COMBINATION OF WEB-BASED AND IN-PERSON SESSIONS IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY.

IN FACT, 1,155 COURSES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED THROUGH OUR WEB-BASED NEO-GOV LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PLATFORM SINCE OCTOBER 1ST.

THE OTHER BENEFIT AS JEFF MENTIONED EARLIER.

WE CAN ANTICIPATE HEALTHCARE WILL RISE THIS YEAR, AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH OUR PARTNERS TO ENSURE THAT WE GET THE BEST BENEFITS FOR OUR CITY.

IN 2021, OUR CITY IMPLEMENTED A WORK-LIFE BALANCE OPPORTUNITY IN TELE-COMMITTEE AND FLEXIBLE WORK SCHEDULES WHICH ARE FOSTERING A HEALTHY WORK ENVIRONMENT.

UNDER RISK AND SAFETY IN HR RISK AND SAFETY DIVISION, THE [INAUDIBLE] CITY'S INSURANCE PROGRAMS BY COVERING PROPERTY LIABILITY AND WORKERS STAFF.

THE RISK MANAGEMENT DIVISION PURSUES SUBROGATION RECOVERY, WHICH IS RECOVERIES OF MONEY'S LOST AS A RESULT OF, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN DRIVERS WHO DON'T DRIVE SO WELL RUN INTO OUR BEAUTIFUL WALLS IN THE CITY.

SO THIS YEAR IN FISCAL YEAR 2021, WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN COLLECTING $91,075 IN FISCAL YEAR 2022, AND THUS FAR, WE'VE COLLECTED $92,290, WHICH AT THE END IT ANNUALIZES INDICATED WE SHOULD COLLECT APPROXIMATELY $129,000 BY SEPTEMBER 30.

SO GOOD SAFETY AND CLAIMS MANAGEMENT PRACTICES OVER THE YEARS HAVE HAD A POSITIVE IMPACT ON OUR WORKER'S TOP PREMIUMS, AND WE ARE WAITING ON FISCAL YEAR '22 WORKERS' TOP MODIFIER, WHICH WILL DETERMINE WHAT OUR RATES ARE FOR WORKERS CUP.

BUT JUST TO PUT THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE, FISCAL YEAR '21 OUR MODIFIER WAS 0.57, WHICH IS A REFLECTION OF OTHER PRACTICES.

ON THE LEGAL AND POLICY COMPLIANCE, WE MAKE SURE EVERYBODY FOLLOWS THE RULES.

SO WE'RE RESPECTFULLY REQUESTING THAT IN FISCAL YEAR 2023, THAT THE COMMISSION SUPPORT OUR REQUESTS FOR CLASS AND COMPENSATION STUDY, WHICH WILL ALLOW US TO BRING IN AN INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY TO REVIEW OUR JOB DESCRIPTIONS, SPEAK WITH EMPLOYEES WHO ARE SELECTED TO MEET WITH THEM IN VARIOUS CLASSIFICATIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE JOB DESCRIPTIONS ACCURATELY REFLECT THE JOBS THEY'RE DOING.

ALSO, LOOK AT THE COMPENSATION THROUGHOUT THE REGION TO MAKE SURE WE'RE COMPETITIVE THEN WE CAN CONTINUE TO RECRUIT FOR TOP TALENT IN THE AREA WHILE MAINTAINING THE GREAT EMPLOYEES WE HAVE IN THE CITY.

WE'RE ALSO REQUESTING YOUR SUPPORT BECAUSE IT WILL BE BACK AT THE TABLE NEGOTIATING A THREE-YEAR AGREEMENT WITH THE FEDERATION OF PUBLIC EMPLOYEES.

THE CURRENT AGREEMENT EXPIRES AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER 2023 BUT WE USUALLY BEGIN NEGOTIATIONS IN THE SUMMER IN HOPES OF REACHING THE AGREEMENT BEFORE THE SELECTIVE AGREEMENTS EXPIRES.

I BLESS YOU. ALSO, WE WANT TO RISK TO CULTURAL COMPETENCY TRAINING FOR EMPLOYEES IN THE CITY, AND FINALLY, WE WANT TO INCREASE OUR LINE ITEM ASSOCIATED WITH WORKERS' CUP TO COVER US WITH ANY UNEXPECTED CLAIMS AND LITIGATION.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE THIS TIME.

>> SEEING NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY TO YOUR TEAM.

>> THANK YOU.

>> WE WILL NOW GO TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.

>> [BACKGROUND] THANK YOU.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR, VICE-CHAIR, AND COMMISSIONER.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR [INAUDIBLE].

[02:55:03]

UNFORTUNATELY, YOU CAN SAY THAT THIS PAST YEAR WE'VE CONTINUED TO SEE THE DIFFERENT CITIES IN THE WORLD [INAUDIBLE] WE'RE NATIONALLY REPRESENTED BY THE BIGGER CITIES, AND WE'VE ALSO BEEN RECENTLY FEATURED IN A FEW DIFFERENT NATIONAL PUBLICATIONS INCLUDING EVENT ASSOCIATION [INAUDIBLE].

PREVIOUS FEATURES THAT I MENTIONED IN IT DEPARTMENTS THAT WE WORK WITH ALL CITY DEPARTMENTS.

OUR MISSION IS TO MAKE EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT USE OF TECHNOLOGY TO REALLY IMPROVE THE SERVICES THAT WE NEED TO PROVIDE TO OUR RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES ALIKE.

WE REALLY WANT TO ENSURE OUR CUSTOMERS WHETHER IT BE CITY STAFF, RESIDENTS, BUSINESSES, THEY CAN ALWAYS ACCESS THE PART SERVICES THAT THEY NEED.

GENERALLY, THE WORK THAT WE DO IN IT, APPLIES TO AND FOCUSES ON THREE DIFFERENT STRATEGIC GOALS.

I'LL BRIEFLY TOUCH ON THOSE THREE.

GOAL 2 CAN'T MAKE A STATEMENT PEOPLE KNOW IT.

FOR GOAL 2, OUR FOCUS IS DEFINITELY ON SECURITY TECHNOLOGY FOR EXAMPLE.

TECHNOLOGY IS THE KEY TO EVERYTHING THAT WE DO.

SECURITY HAS NEVER BEEN TAKEN LIGHTLY, AND IT'S EVER SO MORE IS NEVER TAKEN LESS, SAY AGAIN ON THIS ENVIRONMENTS.

WE'RE VERY PRACTICAL JUST AS AN EXAMPLE THAT WILL BE THE FULL PICTURE IN [INAUDIBLE].

WE WERE TESTING FEW DIFFERENT FUNDING ITEMS WITH THINGS SUCH AS VULNERABILITY PART OF THE SOFTWARE.

THE MICROSOFT WINDOWS [INAUDIBLE] SOFTWARE.

WE ALSO SUPPORT GIVE OR TAKE ABOUT UPWARDS OF 500 SOFTWARE PROGRAM AT THE CITY WHICH REQUIRE TO MAINTAIN THE UPDATE.

SO WE CONTINUE TO MAKE STRIDES IN THOSE AREAS TO MAKE IT BETTER FOR EVERYONE SO THAT WE CAN SAY HERE THE CURVE IN THAT, AS WELL AS WITH SOME ENHANCED FUNCTIONALITY FOR MICROSOFT OFFICE SHOULD BE.

DUAL FIVE CAMERA SUPPORT IS CONNECTED, AND DUAL FIVE OF FOCUS IS TYPICALLY ON EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION RESPONSES.

WE ARE A SMART CITY AND IT'S BEEN [INAUDIBLE] LAST FEW YEARS AND WE'VE PUT THE FOCUS ON QUITE SIGNIFICANTLY ON OUR FIBER NETWORK AND EXPANDING THAT BECAUSE THAT'S KEY INTEGRAL TO SOLVE DIFFERENT PROJECTS TO THE VISION THAT WE HAVE FOR WHAT WE WANT TO PROVIDE DOWN THE ROAD WHETHER IT BE CAMERAS, WI-FI, EMERGENCY PHONES WHICH I'LL THEN CIRCLE BACK INTO A LITTLE BIT.

AND LASTLY, DUAL SIX CAMERA FOR DYNAMIC WORKLOAD.

DUAL SIX, OUR FOCUS IS ON IT AS A SERVICE [INAUDIBLE].

WE SUPPORT OVER 500 CUSTOMERS.

I'M NOT SURE IF YOU DO OR DON'T KNOW WE ALSO ACTUALLY SUPPORT OTHER ORGANIZATIONS STRATEGIC PLANS.

WE'VE GOT CONNECTED WITH TECHNOLOGY OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS.

THEY HAVE A STAFF TO WORK REMOTELY SO THEY CAN DO EVERYTHING THAT THEY NEED DURING THE PANDEMIC AND IN FUTURE YEARS TIME.

SO WE CAN CONTINUE AGAIN MAINTAINING THE SERVICES THAT ARE REQUIRED AND CRITICAL FOR US.

IN IT, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE IT UP THERE VERY EASILY.

IT'S OUR ORGANIZATION CHART.

LIKE I SAID BEFORE, WE SUPPORT [INAUDIBLE] CUSTOMERS.

WE SUPPORT [INAUDIBLE] COMPUTERS, OVER 200 SERVERS, OVER 27 DIFFERENT SITES.

WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR SO MANY DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS INCLUDING MINIATURE COMPLIANCES AS AN EXAMPLE.

WE PROVIDE IT AS A SERVICE AGENT AND AGENCY.

WE HAVE ANY GIVEN TIME OVER 70 PRODUCTS GOING ON RIGHT NOW, 30 TO 40 DAYS OF WIRELESS LARGE-SCALE PROJECTS.

THERE'S PROBABLY A LOT HAPPENING.

PROBABLY A LOT OF GOOD THINGS HAPPENING IN OUR CITY TODAY, AND WE'RE ALSO EXPECTED TO PROVIDE A CERTAIN LEVEL OF SUPPORT BECAUSE WE ARE A CITY THAT NEVER SLEEP.

WE ALWAYS HAVE THINGS HAPPENING THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE ARE SUCCESSFUL [NOISE].

AS FAR AS THAT CAN GO, WE HAVE 12 POSITIONS OF IT WITH ONE ADDITIONAL AESTHETIC FUNDED OUT OF OUR RESCUE.

JUST A QUICK COMPARISON OF ORGANIZATIONS, WE HAVE A FAIRLY SMALL TEAM.

GENERALLY SPEAKING, WORK IN THE LOWER 20 PERCENT DONE.

YES, THIS REALLY [INAUDIBLE] TECHNOLOGIES AS IT REALLY HELPS US DO WELL IN WHAT WE DO.

I'M VERY PROUD OF THIS. WE'VE HAD SO MANY DIFFERENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS.

I CAN'T SAY EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM BUT GENERALLY I WANT TO FOCUS ON FOUR MAIN AREAS UP THERE.

TECHNOLOGY, PLANNING, IMPLEMENTATION.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE FULLY AWARE THAT ANY KIND OF NEW CONSTRUCTION PROJECT, WHETHER IT'S A BUYER'S AGENT OR PARK OR CONCESSIONS BUILDING.

THERE'S SO MUCH TECHNOLOGY THAT GOES INTO THIS PROJECT, SAY, SO MANY THINGS THAT WE'RE MAKING HAPPEN AS A TEAM HERE TO REALLY MAKE IT BENEFICIAL AND VALUABLE TO OUR RESIDENTS WHEN THEY ARE COMPLETED.

IT'S VERY PERVASIVE THROUGHOUT ALL THESE DIFFERENT PROJECTS, AND JUST AS CRITICAL, I HAVE TO SAY AS ONE SHOWS AS WE HAVE THOSE TECHNOLOGIES.

AS FAR AS ENTERPRISE APPLICATION SERVICES GO, THESE ARE THE LARGE SOFTWARE PIECES THAT WE USE IN THE CITY.

[NOISE] THERE'S BEEN BEEN A LOT HAPPENING IN THE PAST FOR THREE TO FOUR YEARS WITHIN THE MIDDLE OF MIGRATION.

GREAT MARGIN FOR OUR [INAUDIBLE] THE SOFTWARE THAT PRETTY MUCH ALLOWS EVERYTHING WE DO.

BACK IN JUNE 2020 [INAUDIBLE] THAT DEALS WITH WORK ORDERS ON PUBLICS LICENSE MANAGEMENT.

LAST YEAR, WE MIGRATED OVER TO THE PAYMENT SERVICE, GROWING SOME PAYMENTS WEEKDAYS JUST [INAUDIBLE].

THEN LATER TOWARDS THE YEAR AT WINTER TIME, [INAUDIBLE] SOFTWARE TO BE THE POINT OF YEARS.

[03:00:01]

SO THAT'S OUR [INAUDIBLE] EVERYTHING WILL BE [INAUDIBLE].

OUR FIBER NETWORK EXPANSION IS A VERY BIG [INAUDIBLE] AND A VERY BIG PART OF WHAT WE DO.

FOR US TO MAINTAIN [INAUDIBLE] BEING A SMART CITY WHERE WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO HAVE A PLACE FOR US TO HAVE OUR THROUGHPUT [INAUDIBLE].

IF YOU WANT TO MAKE CAMERAS, CAMERAS CAN TAKE UP A LOT OF DAY, [INAUDIBLE] AND SO ON AND SO FORTH, AND TO DO THOSE THINGS WE NEED TO EQUALLY, ORGANIZERS FOR DOING IT.

PHASE 1 IS COMPLETING IN OCTOBER 2020.

PHASE 2 IS SCHEDULED TO COMPLETE IN THIS MONTH OR NEXT MONTH, AND THEN DOWN THE ROAD WE'RE GOING TO DO A PHASE 3 AS WELL [INAUDIBLE].

THE HIGHLIGHT SUM OF THE BUDGET REQUEST FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023.

[03:23:29]

[03:23:35]

[03:23:36]

[03:23:39]

SO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS TO RECLASSIFYING ONE OF OUR PART-TIME PARK RANGERS TO A FULL-TIME POSITION.

THAT WILL EQUATE TO ABOUT 15 ADDITIONAL PATROL HOURS FOR OUR INJURED STAFF.

IT'S REALLY WORKED OUT WELL WITH THE PARK RANGERS OUT IN THE PARKS, IT'S HAVING A CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT FOR THE CITY OUT THERE TO INTERACT WITH THE PEOPLE, ENFORCE RULES AND LAWS, COMMUNICATE RULES WITH PEOPLE.

SO THERE'S SOMETHING, WE HAVE AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF PARKS THAT WE HAVE WITH THE CONSTRUCTION AND THE OPENING OUR CAPITAL PARK, WE HAVE ADDITIONAL EFFORT ELEMENTS IN OUR PARKS.

SO, WHEN THAT INCREASES, IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT WE HAVE SOME MORE HOURS OF COVERAGE FOR THAT.

WE NEED THAT IMPROVED ABILITY, THAT EXTENDED ABILITY TO REGULATE BEHAVIOR OF PARK VISITORS.

AND I'LL ATTEND CONVERSATIONS WITH EACH OF THE COMMISSIONERS ON WHETHER IT WILL BE BY EMAIL,

[03:25:04]

WE NEED THOSE HANDLING [INAUDIBLE] OUT THERE WHEN THEY DON'T NEED TO DO THAT.

THAT IS IN CERTAIN ACTIVITIES ASAP PROBLEMS THAT HAPPEN WITHIN THAT.

WE'RE PROPOSING TO DURING CLASS ABOUT THAT ONE PART TIME DECISION.

THE OTHER THING IS AQUATICS CONTRACTUAL MANAGEMENT SERVICES.

WE'VE HAD JACK ELLIS MANAGEMENT IN THE PAST 10 YEARS.

THEY'VE DONE EXCELLENT FOR US AND THEY'VE HELD THEIR PRICING THE SAME FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS.

WE ALL KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENED IN JUST 10 YEARS AND MORE SELECTIVELY ON THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

WE'VE BEEN COUNTING WITH THE CONSTANT SERVICE THAT YOU'VE BEEN.

WE ANTICIPATE AND ONE OF THE REASONS WE NEED TO GO OFF WITH IT IS THAT THEY CAN NO LONGER PROVIDE THAT SERVICE THAT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT ARE IN AGREEMENT.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN OPEN BIG FORUM FOR A PRO MANAGEMENT COMPANY.

AND THE ANTICIPATION, WHAT WE'VE SEEN FROM OTHER COMMUNITIES, WHAT WE'RE HEARING FROM JACK ELLIS MANAGEMENT IS THAT THE INCREASE COULD BE IN EXCESS OF $173,000 ADDITIONAL 437 SERVICE FEE.

JUST TO PROVIDE ALSO THERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL SERVICES THAT CAN'T CONNECT WITH THE ORDINARY OR THE SPLASH PAD AT CAPORELLA PARK.

WE NEED THE WATERS IN THE PARK WHICH SPLASH BETTER HAS BEEN UNDER THE AGREEMENT AND THEN TAMARAC VILLAGE THE WATER PLAIN FEATURE WILL BE CHEMICALLY CONTROLLED THROUGHOUT SO NOBODY OVERSEEING THAT.

SOME ADDITIONAL SERVICES, THE PED, WE HAVE HAD THROUGH THE YEARS, I THINK WE CAN SOMEHOW ENTER IN CONTRACT BY WE'D SEND AN ELECTRIC EMAIL WITH THE MANAGEMENT SERVICES AND HAVE AN OUTSIDE ORGANIZATION WHILE THE MANAGEMENT.

[INAUDIBLE] THAT'S AN EXCELLENT SAY FOR YOUR RECORD THROUGH THE WEB WITH JACK ELLIS MANAGEMENT SO THOSE ARE TWO OF THE LARGER INCREASES.

WHAT I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT NOW IS SOME OF THE PARK RATED CAPITAL PROJECTS.

AND JUST POPPING UP THESE A LITTLE BIT.

SO WE HAVE SABAL PALM PARK IN 2023, WHAT WE HAVE BUDGETED IS $2,200,000 TO COVER THE DESIGN PORTION OF THAT PROJECT AND TO FIGURE THAT PROJECT MOVING FORWARD WITH NONE OF IT.

AND THEN IN 2024, WE COME BACK THE COMMISSIONER WILL THEN MATCH THE BUDGET INCREASING THAT NUMBER FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PARK.

SABAL PALM PARK, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR MANY YEARS.

THE PULSE ORBIT IS IN CENTRAL PARK IMMEDIATE IN THE EAST SIDE OF TAMARAC.

ITS UNDER NINE ACRES IN SIZE.

IT'S OUR LARGEST PART OF THE LAND AND I THINK THAT'S OUR GREATEST OPPORTUNITY FOR REALLY IN PARK DEVELOPMENT PROJECT.

SHAKER VILLAGE IN 2023, $900,000 IS GUIDED FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THAT PROPERTY.

WE DO NOT OWN THAT PARTIAL, WHICH EVEN SHAKER VILLAGE RIGHT NOW.

SO I'M BUDGETING VALUES THIS YEAR 2023 FOR THE ACQUISITION AND OF COURSE WE'LL DEAL WITH DEVELOPMENT ON THIS TEAM THAT'S ALL.

AND TWO OTHER SMALLER PROJECTS WE ORIGINALLY HAD IN THE CAPORELLA PARK DEVELOPMENT WE HAVE THE PARTIAL ACROSS THE ROAD FROM CAPORELLA PARK THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE DEVELOPING AS A PARKING LOT.

AS YOU KNOW, BROWARD COUNTY HEAD TO DO SOME CLEAN UP AND GET THAT AREA CERTIFIED BEFORE WE COULD DO ANYTHING WITH IT, ALL THAT WORK HAS BEEN DONE.

SO WE WERE LOOKING TO BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023, $682,000 TO DEVELOP THAT AS A PARKING AREA.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE CONCEPTUAL PARKING LOT HERE AND THAT PARKING LOT COULD ACCOMMODATE UP TO 100 CARS.

[03:30:05]

HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE AND THE CARS ARE OUT THERE AND AND WHEN YOU ADD ANYTHING ON TOP OF THAT IS PARKING SPACE IS REALLY NEEDED.

WITH THE AQUATIC CENTER, THE AQUATIC CENTER HAS BEEN OPEN FOR 15 PLUS YEARS.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN THAT LONG.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE HERE THAT LONG, BUT THE AQUATIC CENTER'S PLAYGROUND IS THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT OUT THERE AND IT IS THROUGHOUT THE [INAUDIBLE] IN DISARRAY.

THE EQUIPMENT, THE SLIDES, IT'S ALMOST LIKE WE HAVE TEA SLIDES CURRENTLY BROKEN, WE DON'T HAVE SERVICE RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET THOSE REPAIRED.

BUT IT'S DEFINITELY GOING FOR REPLACEMENT.

SO WE'RE PROPOSING FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023, $394,000 TO REPLACE THE SPRAY GROUND EQUIPMENT AS WELL AS THE [INAUDIBLE] THERE SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO PROVIDE EXCELLENT FACILITIES FOR OUR RESIDENTS.

ONE OTHER CAPITAL PROJECT I WANT TO COVER THE ECOSPORT COMPLEX WE HAVE TWO, TWO PART PLAYGROUNDS.

THE LARGER ONE IS THE POPULAR ONE MOST PEOPLE USE AND THE SMALL ONE IS NORTH OF THE ESCAPE WALK PARK.

WE'RE PROPOSING TO REPLACE THAT PLAYGROUND WITH A FITNESS ZONE.

SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAVE, A LOT OF AT CENTRAL PARKS, WITH THE CLUSTER OF FITNESS STATIONS FOR PARK USERS.

SO THIS IS ONE OF THE PURPOSE.

WE ORIGINALLY, IF YOU LOOK AT LAST YEAR'S BUDGET, WE HAD MONEY IN THAT WE REPLACED THE PLAYGROUND WITH ANOTHER PLAYGROUND.

WHAT WE'VE HEARD FROM RESIDENTS, WHAT WE'VE HEARD FROM STAFF AS FAR AS VISUAL OBSERVATIONS ON THAT PLAYGROUND IS VERY RARELY USED.

SO WE THINK THAT THE RE-PURPOSING OF THIS PROJECT FROM PLAYGROUND TO A FITNESS ZONE WILL FIT RIGHT INTO THAT PARK.

IS RIGHT ON TO THE EXERCISE PATH OUT THERE AND I THINK IT WILL BE USED WONDERFULLY.

THE GREAT THINGS WITH THIS ONE WHEN WE HAVE THIS IN A BUDGET FOR REPLACING THE PLAYGROUND $20,000.

SO WE'RE RECEIVING ABOUT $400,000 OUR BACK, THE SECOND [INAUDIBLE].

THERE IS ONE. THIS ONE'S NOT SAYING IT'S A PROGRAM CAN BE CELEBRATING THIS IS THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY IN 2024, HOURS TO JUST KIND OF DO AN ENHANCEMENT TO OUR EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND MAKE THOSE EVENTS WITH THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY.

WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THAT INFORMATION.

UP TO A LOADING DOCK FOR THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY [INAUDIBLE].

ARE WE GOING TO SHOOT SUCH AS SUMMER CAMP SHOOTS, SUCH AS THE FY PROGRAM SHOOTS, THOSE TYPE OF THINGS.

THROUGH OUT THE YEAR YOU ALREADY WANT TO ENHANCE OUR EVENTS WITH CHILDREN.

[INAUDIBLE] I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

>> [INAUDIBLE] IN WE ARE CELEBRATING JULY NEXT YEAR.

>> [INAUDIBLE]. OKAY. IT'S 23.

>> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

>> [INAUDIBLE] OCTOBER WITHOUT MOVING MORE.

THANK YOU FOR THAT YOUR SOPHOMORE TEAM AND ACTUALLY, IT NEVER GOES [INAUDIBLE] WELL, SOME PEOPLE PROXIES AND I'M REALLY ENJOYING A MAN OF GREAT PEOPLE WHO LOVE PEOPLE FROM OTHER CITIES AS WELL.

[INAUDIBLE] MAY BE WONDERING

[03:35:01]

ONE QUESTION I HAVE IS ABOUT [INAUDIBLE] IT'S A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HERE, BUT I WASN'T SURE.

FOR OUR BASEBALL FIELDS.

SOMETIMES IT GETS VERY [INAUDIBLE].

IT DOESN'T RAIN OR DRY AS QUICKLY SO WE CAN HAVE A BASEBALL OR A SOFTBALL CONTINUE.

ARE WE THINKING OF CHANGING THE [INAUDIBLE] PROPER DRAINAGE TO THE TURF FIELDS IN THE FUTURE?

>> THE STEPS THAT I'M PROPOSING, I THINK THE FIRST MIGHT BE THE COST LEVEL OF DURING THE BASEBALL FIELD IS VERY HIGH.

BEFORE WE WERE CONSIDERING THAT, UNLESS IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S IN THE PUBLIC SERVICES BUDGET EACH YEAR LOOKING FORWARD, THOSE FIELDS NEED TO BE TURNED OVER.

I KNOW IT WHEN THEY FIRST OPEN, WHEN THEY WERE A VERY NEW BASEBALL FIELDS, THEY DRAINED VERY WELL BECAUSE OF THE SYSTEMS THAT WERE IN PLACE.

OVER TIME, THE CLAY AND EVERYTHING GETS INTO THOSE DRAINAGE SYSTEMS AND CLUMPS THOSE UP.

SO THE FIELDS ARE GOING TO BE RE-DONE, TURNED-OVER AND RENOVATED TO THE POINT THAT THEY SHOULD DRAIN MUCH [INAUDIBLE].

>> [INAUDIBLE] BUT IT IS THE HIGHLY APPRECIATE THAT.

I THINK THAT WE SHOULD INVOLVE THE LOCALS AS WELL [INAUDIBLE] WRITING I'M NOT SURE [INAUDIBLE].

[INAUDIBLE] YEARS AGO ABOUT HERE FOR BEING ABLE TO FIND HER THAT.

I KNOW THAT AS MY TRAINING UNDER CONSTRUCTION WASTE COMES OUT OF CONSTRUCTION, [INAUDIBLE] BUT WAS THAT THE PLAN?

>> THE PLAN IS ACTUALLY WITHIN THE PROJECT.

THEY WERE RUNNING AWAY IN THE AREA.

WE HAVE [INAUDIBLE]. THAT WILL HAPPEN.

>> THAT WILL HAPPEN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS, I DON'T ACTUALLY SEE THE COMMISSIONING FOR DENYING THESE CIVIL ONE PARTNERSHIP WITH VILLAGE APPROVED 2024 BEFORE COMPLETING, ANY ESTIMATE?

>> THE WAY WE SPEAK, WE ARE DOING THE DESIGN AND REALLY WE'RE GIVING US KNOW AS SOON AS THE WORLD TO HAVE A UNDER CONTRACT FOR THAT INSTRUCTION SHOULD BE ABLE TO START EARLY THIS VERY YEAR 2024 WITH THAT.

>> [INAUDIBLE] SHOULD BE INTERIOR DESIGN PROCESS [INAUDIBLE], SAY CONSERVATIVELY, MAYBE ANOTHER FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS IN FISCAL YEAR 24, AND THEN CONSTRUCTION WILL START FROM THAT POINT AND THEN ESTIMATE ABOUT A YEAR OF CONSTRUCTION.

SO PROBABLY SPRING [INAUDIBLE].

>> NEXT QUESTION.

THE SPORTS COMPLEX.

YOU KNOW, THE NORTH EAST AREA THAT [INAUDIBLE]? THERE A LOT OF GREEN SPACE, JUST SOMETHING [INAUDIBLE] THAT HEARD FROM RESIDENTS THAT LIVE IN THE AREA THAT WE CAN INSTALL MORE TREES AND MORE BENCHES, THAT'S THAT NORTHERN WEST SOUTHWEST CORNER GOING ACROSS THE STREET FROM SOUTH ENTRANCE.

I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I MENTIONED ABOUT THE ROWS THERE AND I JUST SHARED MY SENTIMENTS WITH THE MANAGER [INAUDIBLE] SITUATION, BUT ALSO THE ROAD [INAUDIBLE].

WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE SPORTS COMPLEX THAT, I THINK ABOUT EVERY DAY THERE'S COLUMNS AND ROW THAT YOU REALLY JUST A MATTER OF SPEAKING, THE ROADWAY THERE IS MONEY BUDGETED IN STORM WATER,

[03:40:03]

WE'RE REALLY SEE THOSE TIMES NOW.

SO THERE WILL BE CURBING WHICH WILL SATISFY OUR NEEDS FOR PEOPLE PARKING IN THAT AREA.

WE ARE WORKING TO COME UP WITH A CLEANER SOLUTION IN THE MEAN TIME THAT WILL SATISFY THAT SAME PURPOSE AS WELL.

AGAIN, JUST ESSENTIALLY SITTING [INAUDIBLE] BEHIND ME.

>> THANK YOU [INAUDIBLE] I'VE ACTUALLY GOT THE SAME AREA WHERE [INAUDIBLE] BUT I THINK [INAUDIBLE] [OVERLAPPING].

>> I DON'T KNOW THAT MY POINTS [INAUDIBLE] MOVING FORWARD. WE ARE WORKING ON A SCHEDULE THAT I BELIEVE IS ON SEPTEMBER 18 [INAUDIBLE] IS YEAR [INAUDIBLE] HERE IN THE FALL.

[NOISE].

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THANK YOU.

>> WE WILL NOW GO TO PUBLIC SERVICES.

[NOISE]

>> GOOD AFTERNOON. JUST A LITTLE QUICK UPDATE ON CITY HALL.

UNFORTUNATELY, WE ANTICIPATING THE AIR TIME IS 2:30 [NOISE] AND THERE ARE GOING TO BE TEMPORARY OUTAGES, PROBABLY [INAUDIBLE] 41, JUST AS [INAUDIBLE].

WE ALSO HAVE [INAUDIBLE] [NOISE].

EXCUSE ME.

[INAUDIBLE].

I BELIEVE THAT'S GOING TO BE THE SAME.

THERE COULD BE DIFFERENT AREAS THAT ARE GOING TO BE TEMPORARILY AFFECTED, BUT ONLY THE BEGINNING.

[INAUDIBLE].

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

I KNOW WE'VE GOT CONFIRMATION OF [INAUDIBLE] DOING THE REPAIRS AND ALL.

[INAUDIBLE].

PUBLIC SERVICES ON THE GENERAL FUNDS, WE'VE GOT A THREE-MONTH PRESENTATION HERE.

GENERAL FUND FOR PUBLIC SERVICES, WE'RE PROJECTING BUDGET OF APPROXIMATELY $10 MILLION.

I COULD [INAUDIBLE] AND JUST SHOW THE SLIDE, THE VERY BEGINNING SHOWING NEW PIECES THAT WE HELD THIS AREA TO 2.5 PERCENT INCREASE.

AGAIN, I TAKE THAT AS [INAUDIBLE] PARTNERSHIP AS TIGHTLY AS POSSIBLE.

AS A DEPARTMENT, WE HAVE ALL SIX OF THE CITIES [INAUDIBLE] WITH THE UPKEEP, CONSTRUCTION, MILLIONS OF OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE, BOTH [INAUDIBLE] FUNCTION OF THE CITY ARE MAINTAINED WITHIN THE LINES OF EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS.

AS A DEPARTMENT, WE HAVE 143 SEPARATE INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEES, 141 OF THESE ARE ALONG WITH WHAT THE ORIGINAL WAS SAYING BEFORE, THIS HAS BEEN A YEAR OF TRANSITION FOR US.

OBVIOUSLY, JACK RETIRED IN JANUARY, SO WE HAVE IN THE PROCESS OF BEEN REPLACING IN THAT POSITION AND WE HAVE 22 NEW HIRES AND 7 INTERNAL PROMOTIONS, BUT THAT'S APPROXIMATELY 20 PERCENT OF OUR WORKFORCE.

AND WE UTILIZE TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES, NOT [INAUDIBLE] AGENCIES FOR TEMPORARY WORKERS, AND FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS, WE'VE BEEN EFFECTIVELY UNABLE TO SECURE ANYBODY THROUGH THIS.

SO THERE ARE SOME CHALLENGES IN THAT AREA.

SOME OF THE MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT WE'VE HAD OVER THE LAST YEAR, OBVIOUSLY, THE RESPONSE TO COVID-19, WE'RE STILL DISINFECTING FROM TIME TO TIME AND [INAUDIBLE] AS NEEDED.

THE CITIZENS OF [INAUDIBLE] RECENTLY COMPLETED IT HAS BEEN CROSSING AND WE GET A LOT

[03:45:04]

SO WE HAVE SOME SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE PLANNED FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

AND MAYBE BUFFALO PROGRAM PROJECT [INAUDIBLE] AND COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD.

WE HAVE THE CITY HALL ROOF REPLACEMENT AND SOUTHERN STREETS UNDER GROUNDING GOING ON THAT OR SERVICE THE CAMERA [INAUDIBLE].

AND THEN ALSO WE HAVE SOME CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT AND SOME ADDITIONAL WORK THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IN SPECIFICALLY IN THE GROUNDS MAINTENANCE, PUBLIC SERVICES.

SO WE ARE PROGRAMMED FOR $250,000 LANDSCAPING IMPROVEMENTS.

AND AS JEFF ALLUDED TO BEFORE, IS OUR CONTRACT WITH THE OTHER.

NOW FOR GRANDSTANDING, WE ARE GOING TO BE THAT CONTRACT IS GOING TO EXPLAIN IT FOR THIS YEAR.

WE WILL BE LOOKING AT DOING AN REP AND CHANGING THE SCOPE A LITTLE BIT.

EVEN GIVE THEM ELEVATE THE LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT WE GET THERE.

THERE IS THIS PORTION.

AND WITH THAT, WE WON'T BE INCORPORATED IN OUR BUDGET.

THE GENERAL FUND.

AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE UNIVERSITY'S NICE LANDSCAPING PROJECT THAT'S GOING TO BE SOLUBLE SHORTLY.

WE DO HAVE A $100 THOUSAND GOING TOWARDS NOW.

EVERYTHING IS SO WATER.

THERE'S NOT A LOT OF CHANGES A LOT GOING ON, BUT PRETTY MUCH BUSINESS AS USUAL.

AND S1 WATER, WE'RE PROJECTING A $7 MILLION SIGN.

WE HAVE A BUDGET OF 58 MILLION DOLLARS BEFORE AGGRESSIVE PROGRAM WITHIN UTILITIES.

AND A FEW OF THOSE THINGS THAT ARE COMING UP THAT WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT SPECIFICALLY IS OBVIOUSLY THE EAST SIDE EXTENSION OF THE WIRE SYSTEM.

WE'RE REALLY ANXIOUS TO GET THAT DONE, SITTING OFF TO THE SIDE AND LIVE IN THE WATER.

SO WE CROSSED A COUPLE OF KEY MILESTONES IN THERE AND AS FAR AS GETTING THE PERMITTING AND WE NEED TO DO FOR BUSINESS.

SO IT FEELS A LOT MORE TO BE DONE.

BUT I'M HAPPY WITH THE PROGRESS.

SO FAR FOR BUILDING THE PLANNING AND THE FACT THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE MOVING ON TO THE NEXT ROUND OF ACTUALLY GETTING THIS PROJECT OUT TO THE END.

SO THIS ONE IS STILL ONE OF THOSE AND WE KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE A FEW YEARS AGO IT IN PLACE.

BUT AGAIN, HAPPY WITH THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE GOING WITH THAT.

AND THEN YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE.

THESE ARE THE NEW MODERATORS AND WE'RE GOING TO BE SOLID CITYWIDE.

AND THE KEY THING ABOUT THESE IS THAT THE ACCURACY OF THE METERS IS GREATLY IMPROVED OVER WHAT WE HAVE NOW.

AND IT COMES WITH LEAKY CAPTURE AND SELL.

THE KEY THERE IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE NATIONALLY IMPROVED ACCURACY OF THE METERS WILL BE THE TRAP AND IDENTIFY HER.

SO THIS SHOULD NOT ONLY GET RID OF THE WATER THAT WE'RE PRODUCING A THEME THAT WILL HELP US TO REDUCE THE NON-REVENUE WATER.

AND SPECIFICALLY TO THE SHAKER VILLAGE PROJECT.

THAT HOMES WITH DETAILED ANALYSIS UNIT AND THAT'S REAL MONEY FROM FY20.

SO THE OVERALL MAJORITY PROJECT, IS IT SAYING ALL YOUR PROJECTS FOR THOSE IF SOMEBODY VIA REFLECTED IN THE NEW TRANSFER, 1.4 TONNES PER APPROXIMATELY $1 MILLION.

DANCE.

YEAH.

[FOREIGN]

[03:58:03]

>> THE BUILDING YOU SEE,

[03:58:05]

OKAY.

[BACKGROUND] THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP, YOUR PRESENTATION, YOUR RESPONSES.

AT THIS TIME, IT IS 2:56, WE HAVE THE COLONY WEST CONSTRUCTION ROOM PRESENTATION, BUT WE WILL BE TAKING A 15-MINUTE BREAK AND WE'LL BE BACK HERE AT 3:10.

WE ARE IN RECESS. [BACKGROUND] GOOD EVENING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OR GOOD AFTERNOON.

IT'S NOW 3:10 AND WE ARE COMING BACK ONLINE FOR OUR SECOND PART OF OUR BUDGET WORKSHOP AND IT IS COLONY WEST CONSTRUCTION ROOM.

[3.a Colony West Revenue Presentation]

>> GOOD AFTERNOON. IT'S TIME NOW.

I CAN ACTUALLY SAY THAT THIS IS THE LAST PRESENTATION TODAY AND I'M STANDING BETWEEN THIS AND EVERYONE WANTING TO GO HOME.

I WILL BE [LAUGHTER] VERY QUICK ON THIS ONE.

WE ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE IMPENDING COLONY WEST CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT REVENUE FINANCING TAXABLE SERIES FOR COLONY WEST, THE YEAR IS 2022.

GOING BACK IN HISTORY, ON OCTOBER 20TH, 2016, WE DID A RESOLUTION,

[04:00:01]

IT WAS AN INFORMAL LOAN THAT CAME FROM THE STORMWATER FUND MANAGEMENT CLUB.

WHAT THIS INFORMAL LOAN DID, IT ALLOWED FOR FINANCING OF CONSTRUCTION WITH AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED SIX MILLION DOLLARS.

THE TERMS OF THE FINANCING AND THE RESOLUTION THAT WAS APPROVED.

I WILL READ FROM THE SLIDE, IT SAYS, "ONCE A PROJECT IS KNOWN AND THE TOTAL COST IS KNOWN, IT IS THE PRESENTING [INAUDIBLE] OF THE CITY THAT THE INTERIM LOAN WOULD BE REPAID BEFORE IT COMES LONG-TERM POSSIBLE DEBT AT WHICH TIME STORMWATER WILL NOT REVIEW [INAUDIBLE] WITH INTEREST." THOSE ARE THE TWO TERMS. HERE IS A PICTURE OF THE COMPLETED PROJECT.

HERE IS THE CLUBHOUSE. THE CLUBHOUSE IS THERE IN THE FRONT.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE STORMWATER FUND.

THE STORMWATER BOND COVENANTS BASICALLY THE ORDINANCE STATES THAT STORMWATER REVENUE CAN ONLY BE USED FOR STORMWATER PURPOSES.

AT THE TIME, THERE WAS A BOND ATTACHED TO THE STORMWATER FUND AND IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT EXCEPTION, WE HAD TO BE ABLE TO GET A WAIVER FROM THE BANK OF AMERICA.

THE BANK OF AMERICA GAVE US THE WAIVER FOR OUR INTENT, TO ALLOW US TO BORROW THOSE FUNDS FROM THE STORMWATER FUNDS.

THE CAVEAT BEING THAT ONCE THOSE FUNDS ARE PAID BACK, THEY ARE PAID BACK WITH AN INTEREST AT THE INTEREST RATE OF 4.15%, BEING THE SAME INTEREST RATE AS THE STORMWATER BOND THAT WAS OUTSTANDING [NOISE] THE TAXABLE DEVELOPMENT REVENUE NOTE WAS AN AMOUNT NOT EXCEEDING SIX MILLION DOLLARS AND THAT THE PROCEEDS OF THAT FINANCING WILL BE USED TO REPAY THE LOAN FOR THE STORMWATER BOND.

THE AMOUNT THAT HAS BEEN DISBURSED FROM 2016 TO DATE IS 5,272,643 AND A PROJECTED INTEREST AS OF 2022, THE AMOUNT WILL BE $5,636,599, WHICH WOULD NEED TO BE REPAID TO THE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT.

WE LOOK AT OUR OPTIONS AND OUR OPTIONS FOR FINANCING IS EITHER YOU GO WITH A BANK NOTE.

BANK NOTES ARE USUALLY HAVE 10, 15, OR 20-YEAR OPTIONS, OR WE GO WITH A BOND.

BONDS ARE USUALLY LONGER, THE RANGE FROM 25 YEARS OR UP TO 30 YEARS.

USUALLY, THE LENGTH OF THE BOND DOES NOT EXCEED THE COST OF THE ASSET THAT YOU'RE FINANCING.

HOWEVER, THE BOND GIVES US A LOWER DEBT SERVICE.

HERE'S AN OVERVIEW OF THE COST OF THE PROJECT.

TOTAL COST OF CONSTRUCTION WAS $10,989,400 OF THIS AMOUNT WE HAD SOMETHING LIKE A CONTRIBUTION.

THERE WAS A PORTION OF THE LAND ON THE COLONY SITE, THAT WAS SOLD TO THE DEVELOPER FOR THE HOTEL THAT'S BEING CONSTRUCTED, THAT WAS $1,405,000.

THEN WE HAD FUNDING THAT WAS AVAILABLE FROM CIP FUNDS, WHICH WAS AN ADDITIONAL COST.

IT WAS 3.7 MILLION THAT ALSO FUNDED THE PROJECT.

THE AMOUNT THAT WAS BORROWED FROM THE STORMWATER FUND WAS $5,272,643 AND THE INTEREST THAT ACCRUED OVER TIME WHEN THE FUNDS WERE BORROWED, WHICH LEFT THE TOTAL $5,636,599.

WE MET WITH OUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR AND HE GOT SOME INDICATIVE RATES AND SOME ESTIMATED DEBT SERVICE FROM DIFFERENT OPTIONS.

[NOISE] ONE THING I KNOW, AS I DO THIS SLIDE IS THAT THESE RATES CAME UP A FEW WEEKS AGO AND THAT WAS BEFORE [INAUDIBLE] OFF YESTERDAY GOING BY 3.4 % THAT INEVITABLY ARE GOING TO CAUSE THE RATES TO BE HIGHER.

BY THE TIME WE GO FOR A LOAN, WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE RATES ARE GOING TO BE, BUT THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO ESTIMATE ON RIGHT NOW.

[04:05:01]

AT 15 YEARS, THE INTEREST RATE AT 5% THE DEBT SERVICE WOULD BE $619,833.

FOR THE 20-YEAR, AT AN INTEREST RATE OF 5.55%, THE DEBT SERVICE WOULD BE $563,675.

IF YOU GO WITH THE OPTION OF A REVENUE BOND, IF YOU DO A 25-YEAR LOAN WE'RE LOOKING AT AN INTEREST RATE OF 5.12%.

THERE, THE ESTIMATED DEBT SERVICE WOULD BE ABOUT $450,528.

IF YOU GO FOR A 30-YEAR, THEN THE INTEREST RATE WOULD BE 5.24%.

[04:12:15]

[04:21:57]
