Widely held Miss Miss conception that multitasking makes us very productive. >> that is not true. We make mistakes and cellphones can be the culprit of the need to divide our attention. Additionally the little devices are changing relationships and not for the better. Research is beginning to show normal use of cellphone assist making a significant on the development of the parent child bond. Believe it or not. The repercussions of that can manifest throughout the child's life. However, on the other side of that. Studies show a good child parent bond are linked to decrease in substance abuse.

With 140 suicides reported in martin county in 2018, we know the importance of sharing the message. You matter. Your lives matter and help is available. As our community leaders. We commend you on helping to raise the level of awareness of this preventable epidemic. Taking the lives of family, friends, neighbors and coworker s and in addition to this, the statistic you mentioned. I want to share a couple of things.

The main, the white middle aged males unfortunately number almost 70% of all completed suicides. And we heard the statistics that 129 suicides ofry day. That is almost double the number of homicides in a day. So, we and other providers strive to teach the community about qpr, question, persuade, refer. Which is a cprof suicides prevention. Let's look up from the screens and look people in the eye when we ask them how they are. Especially if you know they have been going through a rough time or recently suffered a loss. If they are not doing well. We need to ask the hard question. are you thinking of hurting yourself. If they say yes. Persuade them to get help.

Seconded by commissioner heard. The motion carries unanimously. >> the stuart rotariry club which received the charter in August of 2009. However, first and foremost road tier is a service club on the 90th anniversary. They are commended for providing a decade of community service, to both local and international communities. Here to accept, we have john ho sseler, who is President Of the stuart rotary club. >> good morning, commissioners and county staff. I am john hosseler, especially and I am the newest President Of the stuart rotary club. Over the years, we have had many notable presidents. Some names you will recognize such as evans crary, dennis hudson. Dennis hudson junior. Wayne york, the first executive director of the ymca of the treasure coast. Pat tobin, who was up here with me. Two-time President. Dr. Holmes, the first female President Of the stuart rotary club. Rotary finally got it right in 1989. I apologize it took us that long to involve women. In addition, ernest lyons, ed morally, the city of stuart. Board of directors and 59 members appreciate the honor you have bestowed upon us and last year it was our privilege let me to including for the -- pref ledge for the first time to include the sheriff's office this is the 18th year of honoring law enforcement and fire rescue in martin county. We were the first rotary club in martin county two and three clubs have been spun off. Sunrise club in palm city was a spinoff in 1984. Over the world, we have 1.25 ro tarians and rotary clubs in over 22 countries. Out the 23 rotary clubs in haiti, 21 rotary clubs have donated financially to the disaster in the bahamas caused by hurricane dorian. If the poorest country in our hemisphere can donate. So should we. We will be donating this week. We have a challenge in the joint meeting and our board will be meeting next week and donating. Rotary clubs all over the world provide clean water solutions. There is a water plant that is desal nateing water on abaco island that was build by a rotary club by providing 6000 gallons of fresh water a day. Our motto adopted in 1950 was service above self. Rotary was founded in 1905 was service before self. Everything comes first before the self. That is about as selfless as I can imagine an organization to be. Thank you for your time. Thank you for all that you do for your county. I am a jensen beach resident. So, commissioner smith. And I have known each other for a long long time. I wish you well and the best of today. Thank you. [Applause]. >> where did he say the sunrise rotary was. >> palm city. Okay pt wanted to make sure. >> he is from jensen. >> good for you. Way to represent. >> that is the end of the proclamations. We have quite a few request to speak forms. With that in mind. So many of the names look familiar and some not so familiar. I will give you the brief run down. You will have three minutes to discuss any topic that you would like before us this morning. If you are going to speak to agendad topic. That will come up later this afternoon, you are not able to speak on it twice. At the two minute 45 second mark. You will hear a tone. It doesn't mean to stop. You have 15 minutes to finalize% your thoughts. With that in mind. We will start with the first request this morning. Mr. Tom pine. >> Mr. Pine, good morning, good to see. >>> my name is tom pine. I am a resident of the jensen beach, florida. I lived in martin county for over 45 years. I am speaking about a resolution. A consent agenda item from last week. Supporting and adopting doug smith, the nominated position of the national association of county boards. I object object to this -- I object to this. Commissioner smith has not been , hat not gained the popular vte in his district in at least the last three elections. This is not a good sign of a commissioner who is going to speak for the citizens of jensen beach. He is one of the big spenders on the commissioner board. Recently having the mooring field approved waiting for the first start of $800,000 expenditure. This will not benefit the taxpayers of martin county. Especially will not benefit the residents of jensen beach. This is mostly to pay back or thank the best community that works hard to keep him elected. This was what happens when the county years ago, did away with runoff elections. Now commissioners are often elected with far less than 50% of the vote. Yet they act when they are vot ing like they have a super majority support of the community of 60 or 70% which has not happened in years, if ever. Thank you for your time. Have a nice day. >> I would respectfully dis agree. He is duly elected. Many commissioners sitting up here have not received 50%. Some recently and others have received 60% of the vote. We appreciate your ability to make a personal comment. We try not to single out commissioners. But I would respectfully dis agree. I think commissioner smith has done a good job of serving his community and dedicating his adult life. And we can't disagree with his dedication to the community. That's my opinion. >> our next request to speak form is Mr. Sam hay. Mr. Hay, good morning. >> I am sam hay, I live in port salerno. I urge you commissioners to reject comprehensive plan amendment 18-10 which would further erode the comp plan protections which have until now made martin county a speg place to live -- special place to live. This mies guided amendment would lie allow developers to alter water quality regulations after the her ren did you say contamination of the river in recent years which results in serious damage both to the health of the population and to the economy, how can anyone even contemplate reduesing -- reducing water protections. The obvious reality, we need to do all we can to enhance water quality regulations. We have well over 300,000 acres of shoreline property which May be affected by the weakening of comp plan protection. The proposed reduction of shoreline setback from 75 feet to 25 feet will inevitably result in more pavement near the water line and more storm water and river pollution damage. The very notion of now under cutting the production of our river is bizarre and shameless ly irresponsible. Another reason to reject cpa-18 -10. High density residential and commercial development. It would allow in the community redevelopment areas would result in thousands of new housing units and many thousand s of new inhab tabts of the county. Among other concerns I have with this is the strong likelihood of a housing glut which would diminish property values. Homeowners like me are well aware of the property values in over developed st. Lucie is lower than in martin county. There is a good reason for this please do the right thing and reject cpa 18-10. If if you commissioners approved this harmful amendment , you will abandon all pretense of being here to serve the interests of the people of martin county. Instead of the short term profit mongers of special interest. >> thank you. >> thank you, sir. >> next request to speak form is eric scher. Eric? >> he was right there. We will see if he is coming back. Our next request to speak form is donna melzer. >> Miss Melzer, good morning. >> I am donna melzer speaking for myself and conservation al liewns. Please do not the comp plan as written. Technicality. Climate change. Are ringing warning bells for the rivers and the very health and safety of coastal areas. And what is offered. Paving over martin county's charm and safety all long more than 8 miles of cra frontage on thousands of cra acres. Your vote is about decreased shoreline protections. Much higher density residential and commercial in the CRAs. Paving closer to the shore lien paving a green spaces. Destroying native habitat. Shoreline impact is grave and far more serious than explained in the agenda. Will you pave over martin county's charm and safety. If the hope is to retain the character of each cra and improve the lives of the cra residents. Don't take away protections for the very things they give definition to the areas charm and safety. When the rubber hits the road and residents become unhappy with the result, fingers will point to your vote today. People's lives have been saved by mangroves growing along the shoreline. None are encouraged by 1810. Please add more protections for the shoreline. Keep low density and promote green native habitat. Open space in the CRAs. Stop the negative direction. Vote no. Also, buried in 1810 is a change to required road studies for the entire county. Including the palm city once proposed site for costco. >> the change pushes us to more south florida congestion. Developers including out of county developers will count traffic on a slow day of the year instead of today's mandat ed peak days of the year to review traffic safety issues browardizeing traffic will be unpleasant and unsafe for our residents each and every day. They can only blame your votes. We choose martin county instead of moving to blow wardized areas. please do not eliminate protections. Please do not make martin county less safe. Less charming. Please vote no to 1810. Next wednesday at 6:30 P.M. At irsc, the public is welcome to a martin county conservation alliance meeting that will have handout sheets regarding these issues and to discuss martin county's future especially under this commission majority. Thank you very much. >> thank you, ma'am. Next request to speak form is julie bjornsen. Miss Bjornsen. , Dr. Bjornsen, good to see you >> it is good to see you all again. I am here to talk about 9/11 which is tomorrow and the pastor said it all. Just no more. We don't want any more attacks but I would like to thank you all for letting me put up ban ner and signs at kanner and monterey for the last 10 years. Thank you, this year because of construction at the corner, I have asked the firemen to help me with the signs and get the banners out. They are going to be carrying the signs and the banners tomorrow. They will do a walk at eight to 10 in the morning and also. Four to six in the afternoon. I have 40 signs. Those are names of many locations where we have been attacked. And to me. It is important to remember 9/11. And so. hopefully, the firemen will continue to carry these but we might have to consider something different am billy vaughn who was in the audience. A local resident has been teach ing us about the importance of knowing what is going on. He started with the book betray ed and now he is educating on live shooting. We are so grateful to have him. We are thankful that we are safe and our children are safe. We don't want a park land event and we want martin county to remain peaceful and beautiful. I would like to ask the board to consider designating an area for signs and banners next year for a 9/11. Doesn't have to be an event. But just a remembrance. This year. Three more signs were added. Theburg synagogue shooting. Dayton, ohio shooting and the el paso walmart shooting. So, we need to remain vigilant to protect our community, our environment and air quality. Thank you for passing the round up ban. I was out of town and I got it through text. I was like I can't believe this this is so good and I wasn't even there. Thank you so much for your support. I have been working on that for a long time and I am out there restoring citrus groves and we are up in vero beach with petersen's grove. It is coming back. I heard concern about, we need to educate residents, this is still harmful to the environment. I don't know how to do that yet we need to get people to have some alternative. >> I heard concern about a possible sugar cane burning quality. I wanted to bring to your attention, they turned this residue into computer paper. It is a product that is worldwide. There is always a possible solution. Thank you for continuing to look after our community and I look forward to seeing you again. And maybe having a place to have our banners and signs next year. Thank you. >> thank you, ma'am, very much. >> our next request to speak form is nicki norton. Good morning and welcome. >> hi, good morning, chair. Fellow commissioners. Nicki norton. Actually newly elected chair of the martin county historic board. I have been serving seven years my third term. I am here in front of you today to look for your support. We worked hard on rewriting the ordinance with the staff. For the certified local government. What that means for us. We can designate residents and buildings, we can actually start identifying neighborhoods and working with the cra and having historic neighborhoods in martin county to continue the preservation we have and here a second thought I have is supporting the CRAs. without that, we wouldn't be able to move into the certified local government and then have historic neighborhoods.% I would like to continue and express my support in the CRAs and I would like to say something to doug smith. Jensen beach playground came up and he donated halfway point and made an amazing difference in the jensen beach community for a ton of families and kid. I want to thank you for that. Thank you. >> thank you. >>. >> did eric come back into the room. Eric scher. not. I see we have one request. Is that for this? Anyone else like to speak to us before we close out the public comment portion of the meeting. Sir, please come forward. You can fill out one of the forms when you are done speak ing. >> you did. >> yes. >> these are, did you put specifically, are you mark? >> yes. >> you wanted to speak on departmental quasi-judicial number 1. Did you want to speak now about it or then. >> now, I would like to speak now. >> normally. When I see them specific, I put them aside until the agenda item. Welcome. >> I am mark halor. I lived in martin county a little over 20 years. I live in hobe pines development and I received a certified letter from mike duly , he is representing the trade winds project. The letter states that they want to put a road in melaleuca way, behind the development and they are talking about tying us in on the back side of the development to melaleuca way. Which would connect us to U.S.1 our community has been very peaceful. Little to know crime -- little to know crime and -- no crime and I am speaking for our other neighbors. Not to have the connection road in the back. We would luke to stay, you know , one way in, one way out. And if we can stop the melaleuca way road from going through, we would appreciate that also. Because, it is only five, 600 feet, I believe from another cross road that goes between. If we were up in the middle between osprey and darly street , I would understand that but we would very much appreciate that being rejected. So, thank you for hearing me. >> thank you, sir. I appreciate you coming in. Ron rose. >>. >> so, you are going to switch to us. >> I put down public comment. >> well, it is public hearing number 4. >> you are welcome. >> just do it early. >> good to see you. >> good morning, commissioners. >> for over a quarter of a century, the jensen beach business community has partner ed with martin county to create a vibe blant jensen beach village with a goal of sustaining our community, our community's quaint charm while enhancing business, environment and economy as well as protect ing river and quality of life. We encourage you to support the proposed improved content of draft chapter 18. Community redevelopment element of the comprehensive growth management plan and the draft article one. Redevelopment code. Division one. General and division two. Jensen beach and the amendments to the future land use maps and zoning atlas, these changes are good for business and our economy.
