Councilman Jonathan Foley advised he wouldn't be in attendance at the next Volusia Flagler TPO meeting and asked Vice Mayor Tracy Grubbs to be his alternate member. Councilman Foley expressed concern about the erratic timing sequence of the traffic light at the Village Trail and Dunlawton Avenue intersection that could potentially cause accidents. Even though traffic lights are controlled by Volusia County, he wanted to mention it to see if they would reconsider making an adjustment.

Vice Mayor Tracy Grubbs thanked the Leadership Class for being in attendance. He also thanked the City staff's hard work and dedication for getting funding through County, State, and Federal programs. He spoke about in-kind contributions/donations made to the Parks & Recreation Department and thanked businesses for re-investing in their community. He reminded residents of the upcoming event, Family Days, and the Art Festival for Arthaus. Lastly, he spoke about his idea for a short-term solution for pumping stormwater and the need to obtain the necessary permits from other agencies. He encouraged citizens to contact their State and Federal Representatives to request assistance with permits.

Councilman Shawn Goepfert also thanked staff for getting funding. He attended the ribbon cutting ceremony for the remodel of the YMCA and was impressed with the facility.

Councilman Lance Green also commented on the grand reopening of the YMCA and how it's a great facility. He also noted consent agenda item #10 and mentioned it's crucial to get done.

On a final note, Mayor Scott Stiltner emphasized that, due to staff's hard work, Port Orange received more money than any other city in Volusia County through Legislative appropriation funds and the most funding of any city that participated in Transform 386 projects.
