We are currently in what we refer to as an election season. We have we have a county commissioner in an active campaign for re-election. This is to address the board of county commissioners as a whole we doesn't allow partisan politicking which is defined as advocating the election or defeat of a particular candidate. Signs or props or wearing apparel or name plate that convey a message expressing advocacy for a person or group of persons is not allowed. Thank you for your cooperation and you will have three minutes as the chair said. >> we will start with Mr. Tom pine. >> good morning, cir issues. My name is tom pine. I live in jensen beach, florida I have been a resident of martin county for over 45 years across the world today, across the world, millions of people are gearing up to celebrate the birth of christ. In martin county, we have the good old boys that play the crowd, the developers and the building community. They are celebrating, too. They are celebrating the demolition of the martin county comprehensive growth plan that will add density to our neighborhoods. Higher traffic on our roadways and, of course. Higher taxes that will continue on and on. I believe this year, will circumvent the most dramatic cuts to the comp plan sense its inception. I would like to thank commissioner heard for being the lone fighter in this cause to save martin county. The browardization of martin county is moving forward at a fast pace. We have now started hiring department heads from broward county to enhance that move even faster. Thank you for your time and have a nice day. >> diane sawicki followed by missy campbell. >> did it is diana sbicki. That was pretty cross. I used to give a prize for the people who got it correct. >> no prize today. >> I am a newer resident in jensen beach. I am addressing some concern in the rio cra. As I tried to per view and read the code, article 12 division three, when it talks about development standards on waterfront areas, my concern is that if I am correct, usually, waterfront is considered the back and so, when I was looking at setbacks. If the front setback of 30 feet applies also to waterfront property, for new construction. Being new in a waterfront area or reconstruction, rebuilding. Is that 30-foot setback appropriate when you consider rising sea levels and water levels which obviously in the news, you can read already miami. And also the keys are address ing this issue. Thank you for your time. Missy campbell followed by cathy. There we go. >> good morning, commissioners. Got my name right. Because we went to high school together. >> we did. >> okay. It was a little different then but still. I am hear to talk to you about the air show. I am here representing the chamber of commerce but a local for 45 years. The air show has been something that is so important to martin county. It kind of defines martin county. And not only the adults. As a teacher for34 years, it is important you know the air show had a huge impact. It has a huge impact on children. Jd parker elementary gets to go to the air show and they get to do different experiments. It is part of their stem. It is a wonderful program. Too bad I didn't get to work there at the time. It is a program for family fun. Children of all ages. You look up and you are wowed by what you are seeing. Then the air show uses that money to support charities throughout martin county. Through the whole year. So, I stand before you just in support of the martin county air show. Thank you. >> okay. Cathy. >> my name is kathy, kasork and I am going to read. I am not good at this. >> when I look at the pictures of my grandkids enjoying the christmas parade. I think of all the wonderful events that make the community so great. There is a parade where local businesses get to spread christmas joy to all who gather >> there a green market where vendors and craftman share week ly, their talents in the community. There is a rocking river ranch where we get to hear musical gifted art tises in the beautiful waterfront. I have to sit. I am on my tipy toes. >> we all come together and celebrate. Then there is a stuart air show event of all events of the community. There is a buzz of the community when the tickets go on sale. I can't believe I am shaking when I work at a restaurant. Sorry. The kids. People begin to save and plan for the delicious food vendors and the air events. And they didn't wait to climb aboard and dream about the future of flight. They can't wait to catch the chick-fil-a cows that come down in the parachutes. Young and old come all over to feel they are part of the history as planes of years fly by around them. The pilots love their craft and spend all their timesharing flyer flight with the others. Sadly, we lost one of our own this year. In his passing, he will continue to inspire and so many to follow their passion and their dreams. There is really not enough words to express how vital the local event is to the economic health of the community. There is something special about the air show. You can tell by just how many people are willing to volunteer their time. How excited people are when this time of year comes around. We almost gather together to make 2020 the best year. We are a community that has been through many challenges and supported each other through all of them. This will be no different. The next stuart air show will soar higher than the next. Thank you. >> thank you. >> okay. Skylar goreman followed by amy. We will find out what it is in a minute. >> thank you for having us and for being here to listen to our comments. I am skylar goreman. Executive director of the stuart air show. I have been in the position few er than two years. I am also a martin county born and raised resident. And stuart air show, I can't remember there being a time when there wasn't. I am 30 and it was our 30th anniversary. I think some of the speakers have said before. It is kind of an institution in our county and region. I felt that way prior to coming on to this organization. A lot goes into planning the show. The most popular question is what do you do the rest of the year and what is your full time job and this is it. A lot of work and man hours from our volunteers go into planning this event. I can say that I have never worked with a stronger base of volunteers compared to other nonprofit organizations that I have within a part. So. On November 1st, midday, we lost, and we had the tragic loss of Dr. Joseph mesessa in his mohawk. We knew everything after that moment on, the that evening would change the tone for the rest of the weekend. So, what we couldn't have anticipate was the torrential downpours of November 1st and second. Our desperate attempts to go forward with the weekend show. We spent early saturday morning and sunday. Well before the sun came up. In the field. Shovels in hand. Attempting in vape to create stable paths to the parking area. Only show back up sunday morning to see the gravel roads that we had built had all been depleted due to the rain again. We know how much the event mean s to the community and all disappointment they felt at its cancellation. so, we created a voucher exchange program for the consumers. We had a no refund policy. We felt like it would be hopefully a nice compromise mice for everyone. For those who purchased particulars, redeemable for the reprise of the 30th anniversary show. We have also appealed to the community for support and we know that we have a long road ahead of us. We have some financial immediate needs and some immediate financial needs which you will hear more about after the speakers after me that direct the impact to go forward in 2020 and then some. The show must go on. >> thank you. >> okay. Amy. >> it is army bottagall. >> where did I go wrong. >> I am amy bottagall. Impress den of the stuart air show. I have been volume volunteering with the air show for 10 years. Gulf stream business bank has been a proud sponsor. My employer has been a proud sponsor since the 90s. And we face some immediate financial challenges. I would like to announce that the bank teaming up with aviation will throw a fundraiser in March and all proceeds will go to the stuart air show in witham field 2020. We do face some hard challenges right now, we should be booking acts for the 2020 show. A few of us just returned from vegas at the international council of air shows. Where that is primarily what we do. We sign contracts for our year. Air shows start in February and end in November. So, we are a little bit behind. We left there with signing no contracts. And we need to do so before the end January. The international council of air shows was so welcoming to us. They understand our devastation because this kind of thing doesn't happen in air shows. Three days of no show is un heard of in our business. They love us. They love stuart. I have heard so many stories over the last weekend about people's favorite restaurants when they come here. There is even the young lady who is training to be an air boss. Probably the only one in her industry and she and her husband after visiting for the last two years are looking for a home in martin county. That is what our community is about. People love us. And the air show industry loves us. They want to be here. The performers would really like to come to stuart. They heard such amazing things about the community. As you can hear today. But we don't have the finances to secure these acts. If we don't secure acts. We obviously don't have an air show. >> I am so confident in our fundraising goals that we have ahead of us. And I am confident that the community will support this air show. But I do know the show must go on. We have to have a 2020 show and we need the support of the community and you today. At the bank. I do. The sponsorships for the community. That is my seoul responsibility and -- soul responsibility. And if we don't have a 2020 show, those responsible shore ship -- responsible shore ship sponsorship dollars will go to someone else. It is tough to rebuild the sponsorships. I hope today you will help secure our sponsors for the 2020 show. The show must go on. Thank you. [Applause]. >> chuck cleaver followed by nick flint. >> good morning. I am chuck cleaver, I am the treasurer of the stuart air show. I have been a volunteer from pretty much the very beginning. I have been on the board the last two or three years. I know most of you from our other involvements in the community. I am proud of the stuart air show. It is a regional and local institution. It generates approximately. Two and a half million dollars, economic impact each year. Part of that is it results in more than 1,000 hotel nights and almost 500 karen tall days -- car rental days and has impacts to other local business es. One of the things that I would like to address. Because we heard the question asked is. Why didn't you have weather insurance. We look at it as a board and it has been looked at almost every year as you go back to 30 years weather incompetence shiewrs is a little bit complicated. You have to choose a time to measure. You have to choose how much you want to ensure for. You usually choose the time right at the beginning or at the event. It is very expensive to way that insurance in the amount you would need. We estimate it would be 40 to 60,000 to do so. We would have probably chosen a time before the air show to measure the rainfall. In the last year, we wouldn't have, we wouldn't have qualified for the insurance because the rein happened all night long and early morning hours and actually flooded the fields. So we most likely wouldn't have hit the policy guidelines. That has been the discussion for the last 40 years. We will look at it going forward and it is difficult to predict how to buy the insurance. Over the past few years. My fellow board members and I have worked hard to build the reserves of the air show up. air shows are very expensive to run. They have a very low return on investment to the air show inc. This is before year and got back to the level that the vma seated the organization with when they created the stuart air show eng. Fortune atly. We built it up just in time. The reserve dollars help us make sure and all the debts for this year were able to be paid. These are the same with the future talent and support. That is to lock in the support ers and we need the public support and we will continue to have the commune fundraisers as the year progresses. >> thank you. >> you mean vice President Of the stuart air show. And I would like to recognize a few people here today. We have a lot of our air show family here. I would like to ask any of them associated with the air show and in what ever capacity to please stand. These are volunteers that came out today on short notice. We appreciate each one of you for being here today. [Applause]. Now, I have been involved and nonprofit events and long time. This is to discuss some of them and I have never seen an event or organization that went through as much tragedy and difficulty as this organization did, this year. You can only imagine and heard from the other speakers and I have also never seen an organization that has worked so heart and diligent to reach a goal that they had set some time ago and that is to have a successful 30 and versary this year. We start add year ago planning for this event. That was to have been held in November. And even after we canceled the friday night show and because of the accident. Discuss with the family on what they would think about us mov ing ahead with the show for the rest of the weekend. What would joe have wanted for us to do. So, it was unanimous with those we talked to that we needed to move on with the show and we made ofry evident to do that. That was our goal and diligence it was our goal to also, as other speakers have said. As we stood side by side on saturday night and early sunday morning in the rain to build a road that we can access and let people in. Open the gate for a few minutes on sunday morning. We were determined. We will have the show sunday morning and it just didn't work out when we couldn't park cars. It was our goal also when we went before the public and made a plea recently for them to come forth and help us with contributions. On the giving tuesday and other opportunities sponsors and talking to the sponsors. We have been very diligent with that. >> our executive committee met yesterday. We went over some very sobering numbers about the financial situation and the stuart air show. We knew what we were going to have. As chuck said. We knew what we needed to move ahead because of the commitment s we need to make in January and tomorrow, our full board meets and I am sure at the meeting, we will discuss, if we don't get the funding, we have discussed here, there is a strong possibility we will not have a show in 2020. So, that's why we are here today. We are glad to be in front of you and ask for your support. So, thank you. >>. >> troy Mcdonald followed by ted astolfi. Here to speak about the air show and the thank you for the proclamation and the eagle scout and the park he talked about with my wife's father. On to the air show. The air show is one of the most exciting events that we have in our community many of us look forward to the military jets. Race by and just blaring loud and I love the sound of those and some people don't. But I do. And more importantly, the economic impact to the community. I think we heard a thousand hotel nights. 500 rental car days. They are busy during the air show. These are important things to the community and they are important to our tourism operator such as the hotels of the restaurants. rental cars and not just, those organizations, but lots of companies all over that provide services. Plus, we had people come from all over the place. >> this makes an annual trek down the beach for our air show he is so excited about it. This year he was quite dis appointed as we all were. I request, ask for any support you can provide for the air show. Thank you and as they said earlier, the show must go on. >> Mr. Astolfi followed by kelly katania. >> thanks for getting my name right. >> phonetically for him. >> I am ted astolfi. I will start off by adding my voice to the chorus for in support of the air show. Events like this make us a trial will you vibrant community as well as the economic impact. The other reason I am up here is to support the multiple agenda items. I thought I should speak now regarding the CRAs. Rio and palm city. And there are a number of items I will be here every time these come up. If I am available and continue the support of myself and for the economic council to help improve and support the community redevelopment areas. It is a critical task and I support what your staff is do ing. What the regional planning has been doing. Thank you. And your efforts to continue movement to truly revitalize across martin county. Thank you for the support later today. >> thank you. >> kelly. >> katania followed by sher re ramirez. >> sherree. >> thank you for allowing me to speak. I got the facebook message. I need your help leadership team and I dropped everything I o. I had to wait for approval since I just became the executive director of the indiantown chamber of commerce and check with my board first to see if I could speak on behalf of the chamber and they gave me the green light. So everyone has been saying everything that I have been thinking as well. I want to echo on the fact that I have been an events planner for nonprofits for over 20 year s and I know the blood, sweat, tears, stress. That it takes to put together an event. And I remember moving here from noig three years ago. Where I thought we had the premiere air show being in a coast guard run city and when I saw what stuart put together. It was mind blowing. Sheree got me involved in the volunteerism. I can't say enough about everybody who works on the team I for one, personally hope to see it continue. It is absolutely amazing on behalf of the indiantown chamber of commerce. Which I know represent. they are behind you as well. Anything we can do to help, please let me know. >> shere. >> good morning. Commissioners. I was not planning on speaking today. But I am sheree with sky will you jet aviation. And the key leader for the stuart air show. I am in charge of the dirty flight soup party and the 5k that we actually got to run this year. >> on that note, I have been in florida now for 12 years. And I have been attending the stuart air show for 10 years. And I have only been in martin county for eight years. So, figure that one out. >> I have actually. I traveled from orlando. From miami and fort lauderdale. To start coming to the air show growing up. I am an aviation now and grow ing up. I have always loved attending air shows. I used to go with my dad. And I used to be a volunteer at air show with my dad, with the military. I want to say, there are so many young kids who love going to the air show and love seeing the airplanes and love the camaraderie there is. And the family that we have. With our volunteers. This is holidays. I want to say being a part of the air show has been a great blessing and being a part of it for tree years. Going on the fourth year. want to keep it running. And for all the business that we are able to bring in and for sky blue being a proud sponsor and aviation community and being able to help people learn how to fly and take off on their he endeavors. That is something that is so important to be able to keep that spark alive here in martin county with aviation. Because there really is a community of love for aviation here. And coming to our wonderful air show. Thank you very much for your time. Thank you. That is last spoker form. Anybody else. >> I don't see anybody. Thank you very much for the folks that came and spoke for the volunteers. I think all of us can tell a personal story of the air show. Long before I was involved in anything more official with the martin county government. I remember how excited my children and my wife and I were to go to stuart air show. When we moved here. That was the premiere event and probably is. >> it is not just drawing folks from other communities. It is a huge advantage. And event for martin county residents. All of it is so well organized and for so many years. It is without a, without a hitch. And so when we all heard the tragic news of that friday afternoon, I remember thinking. And I think I mentioned at the commission meeting after the weekend. This is the volunteer board. Everyone who spoke. Except for one are volunteers. And they could be doing other things. We all volunteer for organizations and for them to have to weather the tragedy that they did. And then the compounded with, you know, husband toric rain event that happened. With such grace and humility and really organizations. Corporations, paid big money for executives to make decisions and these people got together quickly and I think how you handled it was perfect. There was a tragedy to basically cancel the entire weekend and it was the right decision. Now, it is our responsibility and hopefully my colleagues will agree and the community to step up and save this. Because I agree. If we don't have an air show this coming year. Money disappears to other organizations and it is hard to get it back and a lot of these talented acts go on to other areas and communities and won't be able to come back. It literally could be the death now of the air show. >> I know that many of the board, the air show board has reached out to our staff and I would like to. If the chair is okay with it. Miss Kryzda, who has done real ly fantastically well with george stokus and sam carver to craft a plan response. Good bless you. planned response from the county to address some of these financial issues. If that is okay with you, Mr. Chair. >> commissioner smith. You have your light on. Would you rather or speak after george. >> everything that commissioner ciampi had to say, I agree. If you continue back a little as to what something like this means to our community. If you were to decide today. Let me back up. If we didn't have an air show and someone sat around a board of directors table and said. I have got an idea. We have an airport out there. Let's have an air show. It has taken us 30 years. Not that we haven't had spectacular shows. But taken us 30 years to get us to the point today. If you would decide it would be a great day to have an air show it would take you decades to create what we have here in martin county. The hardest thing in the world to ever think about is, when you really reached the pinnacle of success in everything we do. And losing something like that. It is really hard thing to give up and so. This was an awful year and awful cal calamity of different things that occurred and ended up in a bad place for the entire community. If you watched facebook for the weeks following the air show. You could sense the pain, the sadness and feeling of despair and let down. And everything emotionally got expressed on the following air show. So. My communication with the folks involved. We should do something to make sure we don't lose and what has taken us years to get where we are today. Cathy came up and she remembers or not. I come in fairly frequently. >> where is that located. >> she would rather not acknowledge that. And I remember last year. Having the conversation. I think with her and one of her staff. >> and I did ask specifically, like. So, how does the air show impact you and she, then said it is one of the best periods of time in in the course of our year and restaurant and get tremendous amounts of business. >> there is the obvious impact that occurs with the air show and event, it is the volunteers it is the people that come. The participants that come and it is the folks that buy ticket s to come in and watch the show. That is the obvious. The incompetence continue sick side that you don't see is the result of thousands of people that do come into martin county and come to the air show. Whether they are overnight. They are still in the community using our community which is a wonderful thing. That is what it is all about. It is a component or economic component of driving in our community that really makes some people business a big difference. >> so, if you lose that. What does that mean to all the mom and pop businesses that do all throughout the year what they do in the community.% we take it for granted and we go in and we expect lunch to happen and it does. We never really see what goes on behind the scenes. We don't know what it takes to make payroll or how much work goes into making sure it comes off. So. Ed said it. I think he called it. A presume miewr event. The tdc, and I chair the martin county tourism council. We call this signature events. This is one of the ieght events the air show is. Boat show. Pineapple festival. Art shows. There are things we do in martin county. That make this place special. And a lot of people will come to our podium and talk about how special we are. But it is really the culture of what exists throughout the course of the year that the people look forward to and enjoy. That is what makes us what we are. My hope and I don't know what george is going to ask us or tell us. But, I am fully supportive of doing something that is a one time shot in the arm hopefully that will get us through the booking period for the air show and at least we can get the act s booked for next year and work on something in the future and that is fine, too. There is immediate urgency and sense of time. That we need to do something today. To assure that the opportunity for us to have an air show next year is there and that the amount of stress the folks have gone through to get us where we are today. We can pull back some of the stress and get back to the business of what to do to put on a spectacular premiere or signature event for us and so, with that. I would stop but. I don't know what george is going to tell us. I am fully supportive of get ting you all started today. We need to do something today and get the bookings and the contracts in place so you can all move forward. >> george, why don't you come down and tell us what the results of your efforts are. >> tv cameras are where we normally sit. >> you are okay. >> it is the request that we would be taking it out of the airport enterprise fund and looking at the reserves. I don't have the figures in my mind. Bee feel the reserves are adequate to cover the ask for a one time grant agreement that legal and I will be working on. I want to thank sam carver and taryn kryzda figure this owl out and the support of all of this. >> commissioner smith.% >> okay. George. that is fantastic. And we all probably have different theories on how and where we should do this. I want to make sure if we were to take and use funds from the ain't fund, that that is not taxing us in any way. You know, relative to the ad valorem. And the reason I said as much as I did and what I wanted to say is that this is as much about our community as the air show. It is actually much more about the community than the air show and our investment in what this means to us as a community. I am absolutely supportive if any shape, form or fashion. If we need to go into our county reserves. I am more than supportive of that, too. And we invest in a lot of thing s. And we as a county commission, put a lot of grant collars and we-be-grant dollars and support a lot of organizations. Throughout the course of the year. We get challenged to if you can things if things go wrong. Things went very, very wrong for the air show and from a confidence level of where I am and relative to the county supporting this. I am completely supportive of that if it needs to occur. I don't believe it will be tabs ing at all on the airport reserves and the operating fund at this time. >> this is back to the body. And talk to you all. They they can meet the request. >> thank you. and in our conversations with other airport related individuals. There is a clear nexus here between the air show and promotion of the airport and what the air show provides for witham field. So, we went back and looked at the airport enterprise fund which is fee generated from the fuel flowage as well as lease, leases that we have on the airport property. And we believe that there is sufficient funding there for this ask that they are making and then having our legal department draw up the agreement that we would make sure those moneys are being youth liesessed for -- utilized for securing the air performances or aero nautical performances and that is designated for that specific purpose. We are very comfortable moving forward with this request and ready to proceed given board direction. >> commissioner ciampi. >> that a perfect segue. I would like to make a motion that we engage staff to create a contract with the air show and enter entries in the amount of $150,000 to be used in securing air show related acts and word being of which can be handled between the air show and our legal department and that the fund, if available were to come from the airport enterprise fund. >> second. >>. >> okay. We have a motion. >> commissioner ciampi and this is commissioner smith. >> commissioner hetherington. >> I would echo some of the comments of my colleagues and certainly, the air show is a unique and special event for our community and the situation that you are in this year is not only tragic but very unique for an organization to be in. I am far more comfortable to have the fund come out of the enterprise airport fund. I wouldn't mind also, to see the tdc, if we are generating I think, one of the speakers said a thousand room nights and some others that the tdc could take a look at what they are doing for their sponsorships as well and I certainly hope again, the commissioner smith said this is a one time shot in the arm to get everybody back on their feet. And to get running again. >> okay. I echo that also. The airport supporting an airport function is the way it should be coming out of ad valorem and it is something I would be uncomfortable with. With people dealing with human beings that need more funding. >> I support giving a leg up. But not necessarily a handout. How much have you raised thus far for sponsorship money. >>. >> the largest one is audi and to see they don't commit until we get in through March till June. We have had discussions and talking to all of them to make sure they come back. A few feel they didn't get a lot of last year's sponsorships but we hope to manage that. And we also hope as we go out and talk to our sponsors. That we are going to be asking them if they can step up to another level. This won't be a handout. And this is the support for the performers. >> once we get passed that. We will be raising and doing the community events to raise money and talking to some large donors that have an interest in air show and we will be working through all of that as we move forward. We just need this leg up to make sure that if a tragic event happens again. That we are going to be able to pay all of our vendors at the end of that. One of my concerns is if martin county bankrolls the show, what do the local businesses have. >> the they said martin county is covered. We don't need your donation. >> we will make it clear. We are not covered. >> it sound like you are asking martin county to cover. >> so. It is a million dollar air show it costs us a million dollars to put on the air show. We bring in, and I am going to use round numbers. A million and 50,000 on a good year. So. This 150 gives us the leg up and allows us to have the re serve. There is a tremendous amount of work that still needs to happen in order for us to enter the air show with the capacity to handle an event that has tragic like this year. >> what about, okay. This is the fiscally prudent thing to do and we have done it many times before. What about. Conditioning. >> our contribution on matching dollars. I mean. What incentive is there for the private sector to step up. If martin county is paid. And there are some very success ful businesses on witham field. They have very, very good lease s with martin county. Stuart jet. Atlantic aviation. >> triumph. What are they committing to the air show. What are they committed now. >> they are beneficiaries. They are the biggest beneficiaries in martin county. >> they have all stepped up and sponsored. We have been having discussions with them and they are all very eager to see this show continue and we believe they are going to be stepping up with more. Again, the problem we have is the timeframe of when we need this money. So. >> it is going to be very clear to the community to our vendors and to our sponsors that this this is this does not solve the problem of the air show and gets us through the beginning part. And we believe as a community and a board that we are going to be able to satisfy the rest of it moving forward. they are compelling and I just worry about us and martin county and taking on the fiscal responsibility for the success of the stuart air show when they are awful lot of partners that should be stepping up and maybe we should be conditioning our support upon matching dollars and I just think there is some businesses that need to be participating more fully. Because they are benefiting. >> you done. >> yes. >> george. Your turn. >> old light. >> sorry about that. >> commissioner smith. >> yes, I think. Again, as part of my comments. For 30 years, our county and community has had the confidence in the air show to put on a spectacular event that people love and I think it is that confidence and it is that commitment that our community does have in the air show that will carry us through and only thing I would suggest and I know our staff has a lot going on and we are in the middle of christmas and holidays and stuff. That we put it to the top of the list as much as possible to make sure we get the funds if it is voted on. Which it will be as quickly as possible. So we can get the acts booked. >> commissioner ciampi. >> thank you. >> I hear my colleagues concern s. And I am not necessarily in dis agreement with them and I come and look at this from a different perspective. The organization and the event itself is 30 years-old. So, they have a historic three year track record of success and fiscal conservativeness and appropriateness and donate mope s to charities afterward with their profits. >> I think. That if one of the outside or additional advantages of us supporting this in their effort s with the 150,000 is, it will make their ability to go out and raise fund from other sources. Much greater when the government itself says we support your efforts. We understand and appreciate what you have done. The government itself is the major benefactor. Because, like commissioner smith said. Tourist development council. All the hotel answer restaurant s benefit from this. The airport does have benefits with bringing all these folks from our communities and other aviation interests to our small witham airport and then maybe they say. Here is an opportunity we could be doing business in martin county. That we hadn't thought of, the air show brings the people here te benefit that is not financial to the communities. Like I mentioned, you know. We could fill the room all day with people telling stories of how the air show has especially packed they're lives and enhanced. Of the I think we send a clear message to the community that the commissioners and the government support this air show as our own. So that they can go out and tell audi and all of the other potential and most likely sponsors, that we are all in. And they have a who's who of a board for many, many years and if we ask these gentlemen and ladies to stand up and ask how long they have been volunteer ing their time. Several of them. It is probably over 10 years. Fifteen years each. And that, the days of the air show. The hundreds and the hundreds of volunteers. That are there. And it is a no brainer. For us to offer our support. And then the concept of match ing the 150,000. They do a terrible job if they only matched 150,000. They need to raise nearly a million dollars. We are just getting the thing started. We have the ability as a commission to give them the front money they they had to book the shows. What came first. The chicken or the egg. Without the shows, without the acts, there is no show. I think they will not only match the 50,000. They will far far exceed it. There is no show. The show must go on. I agree. >> commissioner smith had an agreement to the motion. >> our staff knows to make it happen quickly. >> everyone has a lot on the plate and elevate it somewhere to the top. >> yes, we are good. >> okay. Commissioner hetherington. >> just on that line of conversation. I think there is a tremendous amount of community support. Business support. I mean. It certainly you know, you had about the benefit to their businesses. So. I don't see that you are going to have a problem having sponsors and businesses step up and their incentive is for the show to go on and to continue and to continue, you know, all of the folks coming into town that weekend. And did I hear. That you are having a fundraiser in March. >> I was sitting here thinking. If there is anything I can do. Unlike my colleagues. I have very few district fund. And but, if you are having that event in March and if it would help to kick the ball off to, as commissioner heard incentivize businesses to come in early. Prior to the March fundraiser. For the last year. I have had over $5,000. I would pledge $5,000 to get your folks to match that. Up to $5,000 and get those responsible supports -- sponsor s to match that by the March fundraiser. >> good luck. >> all right. Applause. >> we have a motion on the floor. mary kay. >> do you have that motion down pat. >> okay. Made by commissioner ciampi, seconded by commissioner smith. Any more discussion. If not. All in favor say aye. >> all opposed. >> okay. Motion passes 4-1. Commissioner heard did you say senting. Dissenting. >> commissioner smith. >> I think I am at all talked out for this morning. >> very happy to hear that. >> commissioner hetherington. >> I will go with that as well. >> commissioner ciampi. >> I have some official work to do. I was approached and received notification from quincy jacobs who was a 2019 high school grad and and he is just earned his eagle scout designation and he goes to college in brussels. And he left for college this summer. Now that the designation is approved by troop 840. He is looking for us to do what we did this morning and create a proclamation for him. He is under the gun because he goes to school in europe and he is from troop 840. And his eagle scout project was creating two bird rev refuge shelters at the hobe sound nature center. It was his eagle scout project and his code of honor is December 29th. I would like to make a motion that we approve a proclamation for quincy jacobs on the occasion of him becoming an eagle scout. >> I will second it. >>. >> we have a motion seconded by commissioner hetherington. And all in favor. >> aye. >> opposed. >> thank you very much. And wanting us to get that together. >> staff is already working on it. >> in the next couple of days. Look at that. It is already made. That is how great that is. We will get the commissioners to sign it. So that I can present it to him at his code of honor. I appreciate that very much. Since this is our last meeting of the year. And before the holidays. I wanted to take a moment. I was listening to the radio this morning on the way to the meeting. And they were talking about what a joyous time of year it is for many and also a sad time of the year for many as well. Many families have suffered the loss of a loved one. A lot of sad tragedies throughout the year here. For many of us. And that we are familiar with. And many people have succumbed to illness. And so. I wanted to reach out and it is not as much joy as it is for some of us. I wanted to pay tribute for those serving in our armed forces and first responders and their families. Not everyone will have the blessing of sharing these holidays with loved ones. Many of them will be far, far away or not at home. Her either members of the armed forces and their loved ones and to our first responders who don't spend the holidays with their families. I thank them and I wish them good's blessing. Thank you, chair. God's blessing. >> commissioner heard. >> I was with the governing board of the south florida water management district and among the things they approved was the final contract for the c 44. Storm water treatment areas. They signed a with $25 million with bergeron to complete the 44 and we had a pilot project a month ago and started filling the first cell and so. It is very, very good news for martin county. That that contract is progress ing and also, I want to again say that I am so, so pleased and proud of the work the south florida water management district is doing. The executive director. Drew bartlett and the governing board are game changers. They are taking bold steps. And in order to execute the mission. Which is a very noble mission of the water management district. They are doing great things and I want to emphasize that now, more than ever, martin county residents and we need to participate in discussions with the state in order to finish the projects of indian river lagoon south. We are going to be completing c 44. That is the first project of the indian river lagoon south. We need to design and build the c 23, four, 25 projects and we need to purchase the lands for the natural components. It is 90 acres of restored wetlands and in palm beach it is a beautiful thing. We have money and dedicated funding source. Amendment one money which is the land and water legacy amendment that is, that was passed by over 75% of florida voters. And in order to do just this thing. To purchase land in order to clean water and in florida. We know we have the support of the governor and we know we have the support of the water management district governing board and we have the support for better water quality through the environmental department of protection. This is a taunt that is rather unprecedented and we need to stay on top of it and put it all on the front burner. That is going to be my wish for 020 and with that, I would like to say merry christmas and happy new year to all. >> thank you. >> I have got a couple of items he will be using $15,500 of my district funds for the banner lake, the new building at the banner lake club for sound proofing, sound dampening panel s to be installed on the multipurpose room/gym that's yum/meeting room/public room. If anybody has not gone and seen the new building, it is amazing. Thanks to the hobe sound community chest. They have done a wonderful job and it is a huge asset for the hobe sound community. So, any way. Usdot is proposing to change federal regulations to allow transportation of liquified natural gas. Lng by rail. Before it authorized transportation, authorizes transportation of a hazardous material, the pipeline in hazardous material safety administration and phm msa, must undergo a careful evaluation of all the risks and alternatives and safety resolutions. Then publishes the findings so that the public can adequately challenge or comment on the conclusions. >> the deadline for public comment on the proposal regulation. Proposed regulation changes is December #, 2019. >> I request thrsization for the -- authorization for the county staff to provide comment to the usd.O.T. And under take lng tanker cars to insure the safety of our community is part of the role making risk evaluation. >> you make a motion to your comments. >> seconded by commissioner hetherington. >> commissioner smith. >> when you are done with that. I have a follow up comment. Not on that. on something different. >> request we ---- can we also, do you have where they would go to make comments. >> off the top of my head, I don't. But we can put it on the website to try to get that up there. >> you don't have one off the top of your head. >> no, my head is over here. >> disappointing. >> there is a motion and second . All in favor. All opposed. Commissioner smith. >> I forgot to ask or mention. Commissioner ciampi had a great idea to ask us and maybe we can do this for the first of the year and what are the three or four goals for this year. I don't know if that is something you as chair want to do this year. If so. >> that was very productive. >> that was ideal last year and I would encourage us to do it. >> okay. It is called the ciampi method. >> we would luke to enter into the ciampi method, do we want a date certain to do this. >> go ahead. P I would like to discuss doing an actual strategic planning session. >> it is up to the board. >> well, I would tell you not to throw wet blanket on that. That when I got here, in my first term, we had those and it requires the entire staff. Ceiling I don't remember staff and we go through a gyration and it boils down to the same thing as asking for each commissioner to give us three things they would like to see the staff do. It sound like a fantastic idea. But they would be much more of a day out of the building somewhere. We could try it again. Not some stoj jingle bells old man. Even though I am, I think that cutting right to the chase of what we want send a clear message to the staff without having a facilitator and having a million dollars worth of payroll in a room all day. Have it by the beginning of February. >> January. >> don't lose a month. >> second meeting in January. >> then we will see how it evolves from there. >> January 14th. >> that is our second meeting. >> yes. >> January 14th. >> okay. This is three priorities. I give them and we all give three priorities. >> where those al lean that several of us had the same priorities and becomes the top priority and then there is a lack of direction for that. We can talk about it here. It provides staff direction and I think going forward. And the three items. But, I am a big advocate of do ing the strategic planning. I will just say. rchtion I will come and I will be there. >> let's do our secretary meet ing in January. We have a 9:30 preset. It is almost 10:30 and that is department. >> quincy jacobs, the eagle scout didn't go to martin county. He is a proud bulldog from south fork high school. I just wanted to clear the record. He did not go to martin county high school. Went to south fork high school. Thank you. >> okay. Department five. Approval of option to lease and public lease agreement with the martin county fair association. Karla, you are not karla. >> there she is. >> motion to accept. >> good morning, Mr. Chair. I will be brief and brilliant here. Today before you is the long awaited approval of an option to lease to the martin county fairground for the purpose of running a fair. The option to lease was prepar ed by the county legal department as as the county real property and administration. The property in question is 107 acres. It is off citrus boulevard, just outside of indiantown. Municipal boundaries. To the east of the indiantown airport. On January 8th, this board approved bergeroning into the fair relocating to citrus boulevard. Furthermore, the board did ask and direct staff to come to an agreement with south florida water management district and the united states department of army corp for the utilization of the property and they have approved the use the fairground at that property. Also, the board adopted resolutions 19-1.6 and 19-1.7. Comprehensive plan amendment to allow for the driveways and extension of utilities to the property. Option to lease grants the fair use of the property to perform site inspections. Planning and sign activities that requires timely satisfaction of civil condition s that are found in the option that lead to the lease. Immediately entering into, once the exercise of the option to lease and immediately enters into the fair association and into a public purpose lease agreement. Which is exhibit b in your item as directed by this board. The option to lease must be exercised by 5:00. Eastern standard time on November 16th. 2020. The term of the lease is, the duration of the options from November 16, 2020. And once the they initiate the terms for 50 years. Purpose is for martin county fair and other public fair exposition events. And the cost to martin county at this time are unknown. However, we will be coming to you at a later date for the the extension. And the cip sheet for the extension with the utilities for the utility provider in indian town and the comp plan and probably grants that will be coming from usda rule and some other items. >> don, if you can move this to the recommended action. Those items as well as the location, the option to lease and some others are attached to the agenda item. Myself and as well as Miss Lenh an and Miss Sugaru, as well to answer any questions you May have. >> commissioner ciampi. We will start off with staff. I would like to thank Miss Leni han, Miss Significant gur rah and all the other -- segora and other staff members. There is a lot of moving parts. Our utility folks, this is a full across the spectrum county government involved in something like this. And you have done very, very well. And I would like to thank our friend in jupiter island. Their mayor. And their town manager gene rout. And we also needed some assistance. And negotiations and in good faith with our friends from jupiter island and we got that. Now to the fair. Sixty years at the fair. Your board, there were many that were excited about moving and some that were nervous about moving and I think the board it sod a debt -- is owed a debt of thanks for moving on your side as well. Jay spicer and jest chester edwards have been their leaders I have the tuned to sort of lead. It is in district five. That was a benefit for me and also my board had given me sort of the lead to push this towards the finish line. This is it is an end zone moment. Until you are cutting a ribbon at the brand knew fair. This is just the next leg of the journey. If you will. And I am excited to have the fair go out there. I think the folks in the community are excited. We were hoping it to be the spring of 2020 and not rushing out there and to make sure you kick it off at the best opportune time is smart and so. I want to remind people that 2020 fair will be in stuart. And but the 2021 fair will be out in western martin county. Close to indiantown. I look forward to working with you all and I would be happy to accept staff's recommendation. >> second that. >> commissioner heard. >> yes, the first question that I have is about subletting and so, I am on page nine or 1081. It is 13. Prohibition on assignment and encumbrance use. They should not sublet to any party without the express use of the county which shouldn't be unreasonably withheld from the it. Who is the county. >> that would be the real property division and who. >> who makes the decision chght pght the binding decision >>. >> it is 107-acres. it is a big county asset. Who is going to make the determination whether or not a sublease could occur. >> we will go to the county administrator. >>> this is under three. And use of premises. It is the lessee May provide for the benefit and development of agricultural, horticultural livestock. Blah, blah blah, shouldn't that read, shall. So we have control over allowable uses and it seems that it is very permissible. >> it is written to be permissible. The primary focus is to have the county fair and the other, the other allowable uses are things that are allowed under the statute that are related to county fairs and not operated as part the fair. >> it takes place one week a year. This will be a facility that will be open 365 days a year. It is more than one day a week and it is also an asset owned by the county. I we like the county to see more and and loafer fer over allowable uses. It just seems too permissive for me. It is a requirement for design plans. Am I reading that correctly. >> yes, ma'am. >> they are not required to have construction plans. We are allowing them to exercise the option. >> so. It is contemplated they will be able to have a rural county fair on the premises at least for the first three years and it is the way it is designed which would require them to be in place. I am on page of 13. >> this is development milestones in proposed dates of completion there. Where is the require meant that the, that their be financial promises. , that the fair has the money to complete these essential improvements. Which a

Thank you for your cooperation and you will have three minutes as the chair said. >> we will start with Mr. Tom pine. >> good morning, cir issues. My name is tom pine. I live in jensen beach, florida I have been a resident of martin county for over 45 years across the world today, across the world, millions of people are gearing up to celebrate the birth of christ. In martin county, we have the good old boys that play the crowd, the developers and the building community. They are celebrating, too. They are celebrating the demolition of the martin county comprehensive growth plan that will add density to our neighborhoods. Higher traffic on our roadways and, of course. Higher taxes that will continue on and on. I believe this year, will circumvent the most dramatic cuts to the comp plan sense its inception. I would like to thank commissioner heard for being the lone fighter in this cause to save martin county. The browardization of martin county is moving forward at a fast pace. We have now started hiring department heads from broward county to enhance that move even faster. Thank you for your time and have a nice day. >> diane sawicki followed by missy campbell. >> did it is diana sbicki. That was pretty cross. I used to give a prize for the people who got it correct. >> no prize today. >> I am a newer resident in jensen beach. I am addressing some concern in the rio cra. As I tried to per view and read the code, article 12 division three, when it talks about development standards on waterfront areas, my concern is that if I am correct, usually, waterfront is considered the back and so, when I was looking at setbacks. If the front setback of 30 feet applies also to waterfront property, for new construction. Being new in a waterfront area or reconstruction, rebuilding. Is that 30-foot setback appropriate when you consider rising sea levels and water levels which obviously in the news, you can read already miami. And also the keys are address ing this issue. Thank you for your time. Missy campbell followed by cathy. There we go. >> good morning, commissioners. Got my name right. Because we went to high school together. >> we did. >> okay. It was a little different then but still. I am hear to talk to you about the air show. I am here representing the chamber of commerce but a local for 45 years. The air show has been something that is so important to martin county. It kind of defines martin county. And not only the adults. As a teacher for34 years, it is important you know the air show had a huge impact. It has a huge impact on children. Jd parker elementary gets to go to the air show and they get to do different experiments. It is part of their stem. It is a wonderful program. Too bad I didn't get to work there at the time. It is a program for family fun. Children of all ages. You look up and you are wowed by what you are seeing. Then the air show uses that money to support charities throughout martin county. Through the whole year. So, I stand before you just in support of the martin county air show. Thank you. >> okay. Cathy. >> my name is kathy, kasork and I am going to read. I am not good at this. >> when I look at the pictures of my grandkids enjoying the christmas parade. I think of all the wonderful events that make the community so great. There is a parade where local businesses get to spread christmas joy to all who gather >> there a green market where vendors and craftman share week ly, their talents in the community. There is a rocking river ranch where we get to hear musical gifted art tises in the beautiful waterfront. I have to sit. I am on my tipy toes. >> we all come together and celebrate. Then there is a stuart air show event of all events of the community. There is a buzz of the community when the tickets go on sale. I can't believe I am shaking when I work at a restaurant. Sorry. The kids. People begin to save and plan for the delicious food vendors and the air events. And they didn't wait to climb aboard and dream about the future of flight. They can't wait to catch the chick-fil-a cows that come down in the parachutes. Young and old come all over to feel they are part of the history as planes of years fly by around them. The pilots love their craft and spend all their timesharing flyer flight with the others. Sadly, we lost one of our own this year. In his passing, he will continue to inspire and so many to follow their passion and their dreams. There is really not enough words to express how vital the local event is to the economic health of the community. There is something special about the air show. You can tell by just how many people are willing to volunteer their time. How excited people are when this time of year comes around. We almost gather together to make 2020 the best year. We are a community that has been through many challenges and supported each other through all of them. This will be no different. The next stuart air show will soar higher than the next. Thank you. >> thank you. >> okay. Skylar goreman followed by amy. We will find out what it is in a minute. >> thank you for having us and for being here to listen to our comments. I am skylar goreman. Executive director of the stuart air show. I have been in the position few er than two years. I am also a martin county born and raised resident. And stuart air show, I can't remember there being a time when there wasn't. I am 30 and it was our 30th anniversary. I think some of the speakers have said before. It is kind of an institution in our county and region. I felt that way prior to coming on to this organization. A lot goes into planning the show. The most popular question is what do you do the rest of the year and what is your full time job and this is it. A lot of work and man hours from our volunteers go into planning this event. I can say that I have never worked with a stronger base of volunteers compared to other nonprofit organizations that I have within a part. So. On November 1st, midday, we lost, and we had the tragic loss of Dr. Joseph mesessa in his mohawk. We knew everything after that moment on, the that evening would change the tone for the rest of the weekend. So, what we couldn't have anticipate was the torrential downpours of November 1st and second. Our desperate attempts to go forward with the weekend show. We spent early saturday morning and sunday. Well before the sun came up. In the field. Shovels in hand. Attempting in vape to create stable paths to the parking area. Only show back up sunday morning to see the gravel roads that we had built had all been depleted due to the rain again. We know how much the event mean s to the community and all disappointment they felt at its cancellation. so, we created a voucher exchange program for the consumers. We had a no refund policy. We felt like it would be hopefully a nice compromise mice for everyone. For those who purchased particulars, redeemable for the reprise of the 30th anniversary show. We have also appealed to the community for support and we know that we have a long road ahead of us. We have some financial immediate needs and some immediate financial needs which you will hear more about after the speakers after me that direct the impact to go forward in 2020 and then some. The show must go on. >> thank you. >> okay. Amy. >> it is army bottagall. >> where did I go wrong. >> I am amy bottagall. Impress den of the stuart air show. I have been volume volunteering with the air show for 10 years. Gulf stream business bank has been a proud sponsor. My employer has been a proud sponsor since the 90s. And we face some immediate financial challenges. I would like to announce that the bank teaming up with aviation will throw a fundraiser in March and all proceeds will go to the stuart air show in witham field 2020. We do face some hard challenges right now, we should be booking acts for the 2020 show. A few of us just returned from vegas at the international council of air shows. Where that is primarily what we do. We sign contracts for our year. Air shows start in February and end in November. So, we are a little bit behind. We left there with signing no contracts. And we need to do so before the end January. The international council of air shows was so welcoming to us. They understand our devastation because this kind of thing doesn't happen in air shows. Three days of no show is un heard of in our business. They love us. They love stuart. I have heard so many stories over the last weekend about people's favorite restaurants when they come here. There is even the young lady who is training to be an air boss. Probably the only one in her industry and she and her husband after visiting for the last two years are looking for a home in martin county. That is what our community is about. People love us. And the air show industry loves us. They want to be here. The performers would really like to come to stuart. They heard such amazing things about the community. As you can hear today. But we don't have the finances to secure these acts. If we don't secure acts. We obviously don't have an air show. >> I am so confident in our fundraising goals that we have ahead of us. And I am confident that the community will support this air show. But I do know the show must go on. We have to have a 2020 show and we need the support of the community and you today. At the bank. I do. The sponsorships for the community. That is my seoul responsibility and -- soul responsibility. And if we don't have a 2020 show, those responsible shore ship -- responsible shore ship sponsorship dollars will go to someone else. It is tough to rebuild the sponsorships. I hope today you will help secure our sponsors for the 2020 show. The show must go on. Thank you. [Applause]. >> chuck cleaver followed by nick flint. >> good morning. I am chuck cleaver, I am the treasurer of the stuart air show. I have been a volunteer from pretty much the very beginning. I have been on the board the last two or three years. I know most of you from our other involvements in the community. I am proud of the stuart air show. It is a regional and local institution. It generates approximately. Two and a half million dollars, economic impact each year. Part of that is it results in more than 1,000 hotel nights and almost 500 karen tall days -- car rental days and has impacts to other local business es. One of the things that I would like to address. Because we heard the question asked is. Why didn't you have weather insurance. We look at it as a board and it has been looked at almost every year as you go back to 30 years weather incompetence shiewrs is a little bit complicated. You have to choose a time to measure. You have to choose how much you want to ensure for. You usually choose the time right at the beginning or at the event. It is very expensive to way that insurance in the amount you would need. We estimate it would be 40 to 60,000 to do so. We would have probably chosen a time before the air show to measure the rainfall. In the last year, we wouldn't have, we wouldn't have qualified for the insurance because the rein happened all night long and early morning hours and actually flooded the fields. So we most likely wouldn't have hit the policy guidelines. That has been the discussion for the last 40 years. We will look at it going forward and it is difficult to predict how to buy the insurance. Over the past few years. My fellow board members and I have worked hard to build the reserves of the air show up. air shows are very expensive to run. They have a very low return on investment to the air show inc. This is before year and got back to the level that the vma seated the organization with when they created the stuart air show eng. Fortune atly. We built it up just in time. The reserve dollars help us make sure and all the debts for this year were able to be paid. These are the same with the future talent and support. That is to lock in the support ers and we need the public support and we will continue to have the commune fundraisers as the year progresses. >> thank you. >> you mean vice President Of the stuart air show. And I would like to recognize a few people here today. We have a lot of our air show family here. I would like to ask any of them associated with the air show and in what ever capacity to please stand. These are volunteers that came out today on short notice. We appreciate each one of you for being here today. [Applause]. Now, I have been involved and nonprofit events and long time. This is to discuss some of them and I have never seen an event or organization that went through as much tragedy and difficulty as this organization did, this year. You can only imagine and heard from the other speakers and I have also never seen an organization that has worked so heart and diligent to reach a goal that they had set some time ago and that is to have a successful 30 and versary this year. We start add year ago planning for this event. That was to have been held in November. And even after we canceled the friday night show and because of the accident. Discuss with the family on what they would think about us mov ing ahead with the show for the rest of the weekend. What would joe have wanted for us to do. So, it was unanimous with those we talked to that we needed to move on with the show and we made ofry evident to do that. That was our goal and diligence it was our goal to also, as other speakers have said. As we stood side by side on saturday night and early sunday morning in the rain to build a road that we can access and let people in. Open the gate for a few minutes on sunday morning. We were determined. We will have the show sunday morning and it just didn't work out when we couldn't park cars. It was our goal also when we went before the public and made a plea recently for them to come forth and help us with contributions. On the giving tuesday and other opportunities sponsors and talking to the sponsors. We have been very diligent with that. >> our executive committee met yesterday. We went over some very sobering numbers about the financial situation and the stuart air show. We knew what we were going to have. As chuck said. We knew what we needed to move ahead because of the commitment s we need to make in January and tomorrow, our full board meets and I am sure at the meeting, we will discuss, if we don't get the funding, we have discussed here, there is a strong possibility we will not have a show in 2020. So, that's why we are here today. We are glad to be in front of you and ask for your support. So, thank you. >>. >> troy Mcdonald followed by ted astolfi. Here to speak about the air show and the thank you for the proclamation and the eagle scout and the park he talked about with my wife's father. On to the air show. The air show is one of the most exciting events that we have in our community many of us look forward to the military jets. Race by and just blaring loud and I love the sound of those and some people don't. But I do. And more importantly, the economic impact to the community. I think we heard a thousand hotel nights. 500 rental car days. They are busy during the air show. These are important things to the community and they are important to our tourism operator such as the hotels of the restaurants. rental cars and not just, those organizations, but lots of companies all over that provide services. Plus, we had people come from all over the place. >> this makes an annual trek down the beach for our air show he is so excited about it. This year he was quite dis appointed as we all were. I request, ask for any support you can provide for the air show. Thank you and as they said earlier, the show must go on. >> Mr. Astolfi followed by kelly katania. >> thanks for getting my name right. >> phonetically for him. >> I am ted astolfi. I will start off by adding my voice to the chorus for in support of the air show. Events like this make us a trial will you vibrant community as well as the economic impact. The other reason I am up here is to support the multiple agenda items. I thought I should speak now regarding the CRAs. Rio and palm city. And there are a number of items I will be here every time these come up. If I am available and continue the support of myself and for the economic council to help improve and support the community redevelopment areas. It is a critical task and I support what your staff is do ing. What the regional planning has been doing. Thank you. And your efforts to continue movement to truly revitalize across martin county. Thank you for the support later today. >> thank you. >> kelly. >> katania followed by sher re ramirez. >> sher
