THANK YOU VERY MUCH. JUST HAND THAT INFORMATION RIGHT OVER TO HER IS. THERE ANY OTHER STAFF REPORT ON THIS MATTER? ALL RIGHT. WE WILL KNOT NOW GO TO PUBLIC PARTICIPATION MR. STEVE KITNER. PLEASE.
THERE ARE MANY, MANY QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ANSWERED. I HAVE SUPPORTED, AGAIN AND AGAIN SUGGEST ED AGAIN AND AGAIN, GETTING A UNIVERSITY TO DO SOME PEER REVIEW ON. THIS I HAVE TALKED TO A LOT OF FOLKS AND QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BASIC CONCEPTS, BASIC PRINCIPLES THAT ARE HERE. I THINK YOU NEED TO DO A WHOLE LOT MORE WORK ON THIS. I AM PARTICULARLY CONCERNED WITH THEMAN FOLDS. I THINK IT IS A LOT MORE THOUGHT DOWN ON HOW THOSE MANI FOLDS WILL WORK. SHE SHARE AS LOT OF MY CONCERNS WITH THIS. I THINK WE HAVE TO LOOK AT. ONE THING WAS A LITTLE CURIOUS ABOUT. IS MAYBE COUNCIL IS NOT AS AWARE OF ALL THE SHORELINE RESTORATION PROJECT IN THIS COUNTY. WE ARE ACTUALLY A LEADER. COME AND GIVE YOU A DISCUSSION ABOUT ALL THE RESTORATION PROJECTS DO YOU HAVE GOING ON. YOU FUND. LOTS OF PROJECTS THAT ARE ALREADY OUT THERE THAT YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE OF. WATER MONITORING. WEEP HAVE BEEN MONITORING THE LAGOON FOR OVER 30 YEARS. GOT A LOT OF

DATA. INFORMATION ON IT.


SOMEONE HAS TO INTERPRET THOSE LITERALLY BILLION OF DATA POINTS THAT THEY PRODUCE. I AM ENCOURAGING PEER REVIEW. WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE SCIENCE MORE CAREFUL. SEE WHAT WE ARE DOING. THE WATER MANAGEMENT IS LOOKING IT THAT AS WELL. THEY HAVE MORE MONEY THAN YOU HAVE GOT. THEY ARE STUDYING THIS. A REPORT COMING IN. CDM SMITH, NEW NAME. WILL BE OUT ON OCTOBER 1st. WHERE THEY HAVE LOOKED AT THE CONCEPT OF PUTTING IN THESE CONNECTIONS TO THE NEW CONNECTIONS TO THE LAGOON. THAT'S COMING OUT VERY, VERY SOON. THEY DID LOOK IN THE LAGOON AND DID NOT SEE IT AS BEING A PROJECT THAT NEEDED THIS. IT IS COMING OUT. ONCE THAT IS DONE, DEPENDING ON WHAT THAT STUDY SHOWS, THEY ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET ANOTHER STUDY. WE WILL GO OUT AND LOOK AT THIS ON A LONGER RANGE BASIS. REMEMBER, IF YOU, IF YOU BLESS, I AM NOT QUITE SURE AS GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE WHAT BLESS ENTAILS. BUT IF YOU BLESS THIS PROJECT. -- BUT IF YOU BLESS THIS PROJECT THIS IS GOING TO TAKE A CASH MATCH FOR YOUR GRANT. ARE YOU PREPARED TO MEET THAT, ARE YOU PREPARED TO MEET THAT MATCH. THINK ABOUT THAT AT LEAST. UP ON MY TIME, THAT'S THE FIRST TIME SINCE I RETIRED.
I AM TELLING YOU, STEVE.
THANK YOU, SIR.
OKAY. ANY OTHER PUBLIC PARTICIPATION ON THIS MATTER? NOPE. WE WILL TURN OVER TO COUNCIL FOR DISCUSSION. WELL, BASICALLY, I WILL START OFF. WHOLE PROJECT IS BASICALLY ALL IT IS NEEDING IS THE NOD TO GO AHEAD. TO MOVE FORWARD. AS I SAID EARLIER TODAY, WE HAVE BEEN TO THE DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS AND SAID, PLEASE DO A PEER REVIEW ON THIS. WE DO WANT THE PEER REVIEW. WE WANT THE TECHNICAL REVIEW. I THINK MR. DANIELS, YOU SAID THIS HERE, THAT IF IT GOES THROUGH, IT IS GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON FOR THEIR PEER REVIEW. SO WE WERE TRYING TO GET THIS THING TO GO THROUGH THERE. BUT EVERY TIME WE TURNAROUND AND WERE GOING SOMEPLACE, THEY WOULD SAY YOU GOT TO TAKE IT TO THE COUNCIL. YOU GOT TO TAKE IT TO THE VOLUSIA COUNTY COUNCIL. THIS IS ALL THAT IS ABOUT TO PLEASE TAKE THIS, GO FORWARD. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WOULD CALL IT RESOLUTION SUPPORT THERE. IS A RESOLUTION IN THE PACKET. IS THERE NOT MISS MCGEE. GO FORWARD. IT IS JUST THAT'S WHERE WE ARE AT. HERE IS THE THING. IF THIS GOES THROUGH TO THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON, THEY DO THE TECHNICAL REVIEW AND SAY YOU KNOW WHAT. THE WHOM PROJECT WON'T WORK. HEY, THAT IS FINE. WE ARE ALL ABOUT WHATEVER WORKS. IF THIS DOESN'T WORK. LOATHES STAY MANI FOLD IS NOT THE BEST IDEA. THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM. IT DOESN'T MATTER. WE JUST WANT THE JOB DONE AND GET THE LAGOON CLEANED UP. THAT'S ALL WE ARE HERE FOR. BASICALLY RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR THE GOALS OF THE PROJECT. I THINK THAT'S THE PROPER TERM FOR IT. MR.DANIELS?
THANK YOU MR. CHAIRMAN. YOU KNOW, THE INION RIVER LAGOON COUNCIL AS I SAID BEFORE IS JUST GETTING ORGANIZED. IT IS NOT UP AND RUNNING. WE DO HAVE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR NOW DWAYNE DEFREEZE. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT I REFER YOU TO DAWN DEFREEZE TO SIT DOWN AND TALK TO HIM. EXPLAIN TO HIM WHAT YOUR PROJECT IS. HE WILL BE ORGANIZING HIS TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE, HARPER BRANCH. FLORIDA ATLANTIC. FIT. PROBABLY UF. I AM TRYING TO GET BETHUNE COOKMAN ANASTATESON UNIVERSITY TO BE PART OF THAT. THEY WILL DO THE REVIEW. WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SCIENCE. MY DEGREE IS NOT IN SCIENCE. THE THING THAT KEPT ME OUT OF SCIENCE WAS MATH. I WAS THE WORST MAN IN THE WORLD IN MATH. IT WAS GOOD LORD WHAT IS THIS STUFF. THAT'S WHY I BECAME A LAWYER. I COULD NOT DO MATH. KEPT ME OUT OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING. KEPT ME OUT OF SOME OTHER THINGS THAT SEEMED TO BE INTERESTING. AND LOOKING AROUND AT MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS, NONE OF YOU ARE SCIENTISTS. WE DON'T KNOW. WE DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA. HARD TO GIVE AN ENDORSEMENT. I HAVE HEARD THE IDEA OF DOING THE WATER EXCHANGE WITH THE OCEAN FOR INDIAN RIVER LAGOON. NOT FOR MOSQUITO BUT FOR INDIAN RIVER. SO, YOU KNOW, YOU MAY WIND UP GETTING SOMEWHERE, MAYBE NOT MOSQUITO, MAYBE NOT INDIAN RIVER, I DON'T KNOW. WE ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO SAY YES OR NO AND I AM TO THE EXTENT THAT THE COUNCIL DECIDES TO STAY PART OF THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON COUNCIL, I AM HAPPY TO SAY THAT YOU GUYS HAVE SOME PROPOSALS THAT THEY SHOULD LOOK AT. THEY BEAR LOOKING AT. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, SIR MISS DENYS.
OKAY. I AM GOING TO GO BACK TO SOME DATES HERE. I AGREE WITH WHAT MR. DANIELS SAID. I DON'T THINK THIS COUNCIL IS IN A POSITION TO BLESS IT, AGREE WITH IT OR DO MUCH OF ANYTHING ELSE AT THIS STAGE. I WILL TELL YOU WHY. I AM SO STRONG IN THIS POSITION. IS DOING THE SEARCH I THINK YOU GOT YOUR NAME FOR VOLUSIA COUNTY ESTUARY PROJECT OR TRUST IN FEBRUARY OF 2015, RIGHT. MARCH2015 IS WHEN YOU PRESENTED YOUR WHITE PAPER TO JASON DAVIS VOLUSIA COUNTY CHAIR NOT DIRECTER BUT CHAIR. THIS IS VERY ACCURATE. AND THEN ACCORDING TO THE RECORDS, THE NONPROFIT 501C3 WAS ESTABLISHED IN MAY OF 2015. IT HAS ONLY BEEN THREE MONTHS. I, I.
GENTLEMEN. SHES THAT FLOOR.
IT WOULD BE IRRESPONSIBLE ON OUR PART TO APPROVE ANYTHING THAT HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED FOR THREE MONTHS IN ORGANIZATION AND I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU PRESENTED TO BEFORE. BUT, WITH THAT, I AM GOING TO MOVE TO DENY. THANK YOU.
THERE IS A MOTION TO DENY.
SECOND.
AND A SECOND.
YOU STILL HAVE THE FLOOR, MA'AM.
MR. PATTERSON YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
I WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO MAKE THE MOTION. BUT THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL RIGHT. NO, SHE WAS AHEAD OF ME. I, YOU KNOW, MY FEELING IS TO TAKE NO ACTION. AND THEY TAKE IT FORWARD AND SOMEBODY THAT IS A HELL OF A LOT SMARTER THAN I AM WITH THE SCIENCE. MAYBE THEY CAN COME UP WITH SOME ANSWERS AND WHATEVER. IF THEY, YOU KNOW, I THINK MISS MCGEE MENTIONED SOMETHING THAT THE LAGOON WAS NOT REAL FRIDAY THAT MUCH TROUBLE, CORRECT, OR SOMETHING? WHO WAS IT? THE WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR.
SOMEBODY HAS TO BE ON A MICROPHONE TO SAY THE ANSWER.
IT DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME IMPAIRMENT.
NOT THE SAME IMPAIRMENT. SO. SORRY. DIDN'T MEAN TO PICK ON YOU. BUT SO YOU KNOW, IT IS NOT A DIRE SITUATION THAT WE NEED TO START JUMPING UP AND DOWN ON. IF THE SCIENCE ON THIS PROVES OUT, THEN I THINK IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD LOOK AT. AT THIS POINT, I JUST NOT WILLING TO TAKE ANY ACTION ON THIS. THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS.
MR. WAGNER?
I THINK DOUG, THIS SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS THE IN BETWEEN TO SEND THIS TO THEM AND HAVE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO LOOK AT IT. I THAT I WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED. I THAT I WILL PROBABLY BE THE NEXT STEP THAT MAKES SENSE. I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT. IF THE MOTION FAILS I WILL SUPPORT THAT ONE. IF IT IS A MOTION, IS THAT A MOTION TO MOVE IT FORWARD. I KNOW WE CAN'T HAVE TWO MOTIONS AT THE SAME TIME.
I AM NOT REALLY SURE WE NEED A MOTION.
WELL, I HAVE THE ANSWER: MR.ECKERD DO WE NEED A MOTION ON THIS TO JUST DIRECT THESE PEOPLE TO GO TO WHAT HIS NAME?
THE EXECUTIVE.
THE NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IS DEWAYNE DEFREEZE. IT WOULD WIND UP IN THE TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE. WHICH IS COMPOSED OF A GROUP OF SCIENTISTS THAT WOULD VET THE PROJECT.
THERE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR.
THIS IS ANSWERING THE QUESTION.
I ASKED THE QUESTION IF WE JUST NEEDED A MOTION?
CALM DOWN.
WE STUCK WITH THE MOTION THAT IS ON THE FLOOR.
VERY WELL.
SO IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR?
SEEING NONE. OKAY. ALL THOSE LET'S SEE I AM GOING HAVE TO WORD THIS, THE MOTION IS TO DENY MOSQUITO LAGOON WATER QUALITY ENDORSEMENT OF ANY TYPE, AIM CORRECT ON THE MOTION? OKAY. SO STATED THE MOTION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY I.
I.
AND ALL THOSE OPPOSED? HOW MANY ARE OPPOSED?
3.
MR. DANIELS.
I AM OPPOSED, YEAH. AGAIN I WILL BE HAPPY.
ON THE MICROPHONE, PLEASE SIR. FOR THE RECORD.
AGAIN, AS LONG AS WE REMAIN A MEMBER OF THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON COUNCIL, I WILL BE HAPPY TO BRING THE MATTER UP TO DEWAYNE DEPRESS AND ASK HIM TO SPEAK WITH YOU AND GET DETAILS AND GO FORWARD. AND CHECK IT OUT. RIVER -- REFER IT TO THE TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE AND SEE WHAT THE.
DO WE NEED A MOTION FOR THAT?
NO. WE ARE DONE.
POINT OF ORDER MR. CHAIR. WHERE ECKERD KNOWING THAT THE CHAIR IS AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE BOARD AS A DIRECTOR, CAN HE VOTE ON THIS ISSUE?
YES, MA'AM. IT IS NOT FOR PROFIT BOARD. HE SERVEs WITHOUT COMPENSATION. IT DOESN'T TO HIS PERSONAL GAIN. IT WOULD BE ONE THING IF HE WERE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OR SOME OTHER COMPENSATED OF A NOT FOR PROFIT. BUT HE CAN VOTE ON THE MOTION. AND IF IT EVER CAME TO THE POINT THAT -- I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE IS ANY PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE A SERVICE OR GOOD TO THE COUNTY, TO THE COUNTY. AT THAT POINT HE, I SAID TO THE CHAIR THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO RESIGN FROM THE BOARD, AT LEAST UPON THAT HYPOTHETICAL. THERE ARE THERE IS SOME CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE MIGHT CAUSE KNOW CHANGE THAT OPINION. HE CAN VOTE ON THE MOTION TODAY. HE COULD HAVE VOTED. I HAVE ALREADY TALKED WITH MR. ECKERD ON THAT MATTER. BELIEVE ME, IF THERE WAS A POINT THAT MR. ECKERD AND I DISCUSSED THAT IT DIME A POINT WHERE IT WOULD BE A CONFLICT, I WOULD SAY NO. I WILL STEP DOWN FROM THAT BOARD AND CONTINUE ON.
BUT THE TEST FOR CONFLICT IS PRIVATE PECUNARY GAIN.
ARE YOU HERE BY REFERRED FORWARD, AND I WOULD SUGGEST, GET AHOLD OF MR. DANIELS. MAKE SURE HE HAS ALL THE DOCUMENTATION NECESSARY.
WAS THE MOTION APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED.
NO; NO. YOU ARE HERE BY HAVE A SEAT ONE MOMENT. LET ME EXPLAIN THIS THERE. WAS A MOTION MADE TO DENY. THAT FAILED. SO WE DON'T HAVE, WE DON'T MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.
MR. CHAIR.
THE MOTION TO DENY AND THE ENDORSEMENT PASSED.
NO IT WAS A 3, 4.
1, 2, 3, 4 WERE AGAINST.
MR. DANIELS.
I WAS IN FAVOR OF DENIAL.
OH OKAY. I AM SORRY.
MR. DANIELS VOTED WITH THE MAJORITY BUT SAID IT AS A MEMBER AS A COUNCIL'S REPRESENTATIVE TO THE COUNCIL THAT HE WOULD FACILITATE THE INTRODUCTION.
THAT'S FINE, TOO.
FOR THE RECORD.
MAKE SURE THAT HE GETS ALL OF HIS INFORMATION.
I HAVE KNOWN HEN RAY LONG TIME.
FOR THE RECORD, CAN WE SAY WHO WAS OPPOSED?
OPPOSED TO THAT MOTION WAS MISS CUSACK, MR. WAGNER, MR. DAVIS. I AM SORRY I THOUGHT MR. DANIELS. I SAID ARE YOU OPPOSED. HE SAID YES.
I APOLOGIZE.
MY MISTAKE. WE GOT IT CLEAR.
FOR POINT OF CLARIFICATION FOR ME, THIS IN NO WAY IMPLIES THAT THE COUNTY COUNCIL HAS ENDORSED OR SUPPORTS THIS.
NO, NO.
I THINK ESSENTIALLY COUNCIL IS TAKING NO POSITION. YOU HAVE DENIED ENDORSEMENT AND MR. DANIELS IS FACILITATING AN INTRODUCTION AND COUNCIL CAN TAKE WHAT ACTION IT THINKS IS FIT. YOU WILL GET WITH MR. DANIELS. HE IS GOING TO MAKE INTRODUCTION TO MR. DUPREE OR DUPUSE.
DUPREE.
OKAY. THANK YOU.
WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 45 WHICH IS APPOINTMENT OF THE VOLUSIA COUNTY POET TO FOUR YEAR TERM. AND THE NOMINATION CAN BE MADE BY ANY COUNCIL MEMBER. MR.PATTERSON.
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR MRS. ZIMMERMAN.
MARCY.
I AM SORRY.
ON THESE THE TWO RECOMMENDATIONS, WERE THERE BACKGROUND CHECKS DONE ON THEM?
UH-HUH (AFFIRMATIVE).
TO BE HONEST WITH YOU THESE DID NOT COME THROUGH ME. I AM UNAWARE. I DO NOT KNOW.
I THOUGHT THEY DID.
MR. BAILY, DO YOU KNOW?
I THOUGHT THEY DID. I THOUGHT WE HAD THREE MEMBERS ON A COMMITTEE THAT WERE BRINGING US BACK THESE TWO.
TIM BAILEY VOLUSIA COUNTY PARK. BACKGROUND CHECKS WERE NOT DONE TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. WE WOULD DO BACKGROUND CHECKS IF NECESSARY. BUT WE, THIS IS POETLAUREATE.
THEY QUALIFIED PEOPLE. I JUST DON'T WANT SOMETHING TO COME UP.
WHOEVER.
IT WOULD BE KIND OF EMBARASSING.
YOU HAVE A RECOMMENDATION I GUESS FROM THAT COMMITTEE. YOU REQUIRED THEM TO BRING FORWARD. THEY DID RECOMMEND ONE OF THE PEOPLE.
TWO.
THEY BROUGHT FORWARD TWO. THEY ACTUALLY RANKED THEM ONE, TWO. SO THIS WAS A CLARIFICATION THAT I JUST FOUND OUT, THAT THE COMMITTEE RANKED THEM ONE AND 2B AX ELEROD WAS RATED ONE. THAT MAY HELP YOU IN YOUR DECISION. IF YOU SELECT ONE OF THE TWO PEOPLE, THEN WE WILL MAKE THE BACKGROUND CHECK IS DONE.
WELL, I DID NOT HAVE THE INFORMATION AS TO THE ONE AND THE TWO.
WE JUST FOUND IN OUT.
IN I MEAN, IT SEEMS KIND OF RIDICULOUS TO DO A ONE AND A TWO AND SAY OH, PICK ONE. I MEAN. I READ ALL THE INFORMATION ON THEM AND EVERYTHING. I EVEN WENT ON TO YOUTUBE AND SAW BOTH OF THEM RECITING POETRY OR WHATEVER THEY CALLED IT AND CAME OUT WITH THE FEELING ON ONE OF THEM THAT I THOUGHT WAS THE ONE THAT SHOULD BE CHOSEN.
MY UNDERSTANDING. THIS IS WHAT I JUST FOUND OUT , THAT THE GROUP DECIDED ONE, TWO. BUT IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN WE REQUIRED THEM AT LEAST BY COUNCIL ACTION TO BRING FORWARD TWO CANDIDATES.
MY NOMINATION IS FOR MB MCCLATCHIE.
DO YOU WANT TO.
WHERE DID MY COUNCIL MEMBERS GO? WHERE IS DOUG AND DEB? ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE. WE GOT ENOUGH.
I THINK THEY HAD AX ELEROD AS NUMBER 1.
HE WAS NUMBER 1. STILL MY.
I THINK COUNCIL MAKES THE FINAL DECISION.
WE RECOMMEND TWO.
THE MOTION IS FOR MB MCCLATCHIE TO BE APPOINTED TO VOLUSIA COUNTY BY MR. PATTERSON. ALL IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY I.
ALL THOSE OPPOSED.
I.
THEN ARE YOU.
I DIDN'T VOTE ON EITHER.
SO IT IS A TIE.
I WAS WAITING FOR THE OTHER TWO PEOPLE TO GET BACK. THIS IS FOUR YEARS.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE I DO IT THE RIGHT WAY. I.
ON A POETLAUREAT.
MR. CHAIR I THINK AS A COUNCIL MEMBER, IF THEY WERE RANKED ONE AND TWO, THEN WHY THEN IS NECESSARY FOR US TO HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION WHEN IT HAS BEEN RANKED ONE AND TWO.
TWO.
AND SO IT IS JUST TWO PEOPLE. BOTH ARE WELL QUALIFIED. HOWEVER, WHEN DO YOU ALL OF THE READING AND ALL THE THINGS YOU NEED TO DO TO MAKE A DECISION, THE COMMITTEE, DID THEY MAKE A DECISION THAT WE WOULD RANK THEM ONE AND TWO? HOW DID THAT COME ABOUT? MY PAPERWORK INDICATED HAD YOU TWO VIABLE CANDIDATES THAT WOULD BE RECOMMENDING BY THE COMMITTEE. NOW I HEAR THEY ARE RANKED ONE AND TWO.
AS A MATTER OF THE RESOLUTION THAT THE COUNCIL HAD PREVIOUSLY APPROVED, THE REQUIREMENT IS TO BRING FORT TWO RECOMMENDED CANDIDATES FOR COUNCIL TO DELIBERATE ON PICKING ONE. SO WHAT THE SELECTION COMMITTEE DID WAS THEY SELECTED DR. DAVID AXELROD. AND MB MCCLATCHIE. SO FOR THE RESOLUTION TWO CANDIDATES WERE PUT FORWARD.
OKAY. WE DID THAT ANSWER THE QUESTION? OKAY.
I HAVE THE FLOOR, I GUESS.
YOU INDUSTRIAL THE FLOOR.
THIS HAS BECOME RIDICULOUS.
NO. WE VOTED. ALL THOSE OPPOSED. L DANIELS WILL HAVE THE FLOOR.
SO YOU VOTED AGAINST SOMEONE ALREADY?
YEAH.
YOU GUYS WERE OUT IN THE OFFICE.
I WAS GOING NOMINATE T AXELROD.
OKAY HOW ABOUT THIS. I AM HAVING AN IDEA. WHY DON'T WE IN FAVOR OF AXELROD. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF MCCLATCHIE. WOULD THAT BE OKAY WITH YOU WHETHER PATTERSON?
CAN WE JUST HAVE BOTH ONE MALE AND ONE FEMALE. IS THERE A REQUIREMENT FOR ONE.
HERE IS WHAT IS WILD ABOUT THIS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS PERSON IS GOING DO.
READ POEMS.
THAT'S IT?
AND BESIDES THAT I AM THE ONE THAT SHOULD BE ON THERE.
YES.
WELL HE TOLD ME A LYMRIC.
SO THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT THAT IT IS ONE OR TWO OF THEM. WE COULD HAVE.
IT IS ENTIRELY YOUR PROCEDURE.
I WOULD BE FOR THAT.
LET'S DO THAT.
WELL YOU CAN ALWAYS MAKE A PRIMARY AND A SECONDARY.
NO LET'S JUST KEEP BOTH OF THEM.
ONE MALE, ONE FEMALE.
JUST ADD AN S.
IS THAT A MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO HAVE TWO.
I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE HAVE AND APPOINT TWO INDIVIDUALS FOR A TERM OF FOUR YEARS AND SUBJECT TO ANOTHER FOUR YEAR TERM AFTER THAT. THAT'S IN THE.
THAT'S IN THE THING.
OKAY. I HAVE A MOTION TO APPOINT VOLUSIA COUNTY POETLAURET TO A FOUR YEAR TERM AMOUNT SECOND BY MR. LOWRY.
DOES SOMEONE WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT --
OH YES. I DON'T KNOW IF MR. AXELROD WANTS TO SPEAK ON HIS OWN BEHALF BEHALF.
WE HAVE NEVER MET. DO YOU WISH TO SPEAK, SIR?
IF I MAY.
OKAY. WE WILL GIVE YOU YOUR THREE MINUTES.
YOU GAVE US A POEM. LUCKILY NOT A POEM. I AM DR. DAVID AXELROD. IN DAYTONA BEACH.
MA'AM, CAN YOU, OKAY YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES SIR.
GO AHEAD.
I AM DR. DAVID AXELROD DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA I HAD PREPARED BRIEF SHEET TO SPEAK TO THE SUBJECT RATHER LIGHT HEARTEDLY. I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THAT MY COLLEAGUE PROFESSOR MCCLATCHIE. I ADMIRE HER CREDENTIALS. I DON'T LIKE PETARY AS A COMPETITION. I AM NOT SURE SHE IS LISTED TO SPEAK. I WILL SAY GOVERNOR MARIO CUOMO SAID THAT LEGISLATORS CAMPAIGN IN POETRY BUT SPEAK IN PROSE.

I HAVE SERVED ALSO IN LIVING IN NEW YORK AS THE SUFFOLK COUNTY 40 YEARS AND 40 YEAR COLLEGE CREATIVE WRITING TEACHER. THE PURPOSE OF BEING A LAUREATE IS TO ENCOURAGE INDIVIDUAL EXPRESSION, LITCY.

AND NASCAR IS CERTIFIED IT IS THE ONLY BOOK OF PROTEURIA ENTIRELY ABOUT NASCAR. I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT I AM GOING TO TAKE LESSONS TO REDUCE MY NEW ENGLAND ACCENT SO I CAN SAY NASCAR PROPERLY AS A SOUTHERNER. BUT IF I AM APPOINTED, SINGLY OR AS A JOINT POST I WOULD PROMISE TO WORK FOR THE BETTERMENT OF VOLUSIA COUNTY. I KNOW THE RESOLUTION WAS INITIALLY THAT YOU APPOINT ONE. I AM SORRY IT HAS DOCK A COMPETITION. UP ABOUT THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY CASE.
WELL, IT MAY HAVE STARTED OUT AS A COMPETITION SIR. BUT NOW I THINK SATURDAY PARTNERSHIP. I THINK YOU KNOW, HEY, THERE MAY COMPANY A TIME WHEN THERE IS SOMETHING GOING WHERE WE MAY NEED A POET.

ARE YOU SUCH A WISE SOUL. I GOT THE SAME MEMO. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED THE FILE AND SAID I AM GOOD. I AM GOLDEN. ALL RIGHT. MR.WAGNER, CLOSING COMMENTS SIR?
NONE.
OKAY.
MISS CUSACK?
HERE WE GO.
THANK YOU MR. CHAIR. I HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS. I AM TAKING JOSH'S TIME AND MINE.
WELL, WAIT A MINUTE. WHEN DID WE BECOME THE UNITED STATES REPRESENTATIVES. DEFERRING TIME.
I AM GOING TO FIRST SPEAK ABOUT MR. DAVENPORT'S CONCERN TODAY. IS IS THERE ANY INFORMATION AVAILABLE? I KNOW MR. DAVENPORT HAS MET WITH STAFF. COULD WE HAVE A LITTLE INVOICE AS TO WHERE WE ARE WITH THAT SITUATION?
THIS IS ON THE?
THIS IS ON THE FLOODING. MR.CLARENCE DAVENPORT'S HOME.
JOHN AND JULIE, OPEN CLAIMS STILL BEEN FILED WITH RISK MANAGEMENT AND IS BEING INVESTIGATED STILL BY TOM MOATS OR CHARLES SPENCER AS TO HIS CLAIM. STORM WATER ENGINEER HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN RESEARCHING SOME OF THE CLAIMS. SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT INDICATED THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM WAS REVISED. WE HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THOSE THINGS. WE COULD NOT FIND ANY ENGINEERING WHETHER WITH THE CITY OR COUNTY AS TO WHAT MAY HAVE TRANSPIRED. THERE THERE WAS AN INDEPENDENT ENGINEER BROUGHT IN TO CONSULT TO LOOK AT THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM. THE PIPING NETWORK THAT IS THERE WAS CERTAINLY CANE -- CAPABLE OF HANDLING THE WATER FLOW. THERE WAS ONE INLET ON MR. DAVENPORT'S SIDE. THESE THINGS ARE STILL BEING INVESTIGATED. I CAN'T SPEAK CONCLUSIVELY AS TO THE FINDINGS AT THIS POINT.
THANK YOU. I WAS THERE AT THEIR HOME. HAD IT NOT RAINED TO THAT EXTENT THE DAY THAT I WAS THERE. THERE WAS STILL WATER IN THE STREET AND I THINK THAT IT CERTAINLY DOES INDICATE THAT THAT SOMETHING HAPPENED THERE. THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM APPARENTLY DID NOT TAKE CARE OF ALL OF THAT IT NEEDED TO AT THAT TIME. THANK YOU. THAT IS THAT'S ALL I NEEDED TO KNOW ABOUT THAT. MY SECOND CONCERN IS THAT YOU KNOW THERE IS A CRE IN SPRING NILL THE AREA WHERE MR. DAVENPORT LIVES. THAT CRA HAS PROBABLY BEEN IN EXISTENCE, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE 10 YEARS OR BETTER. AND WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO DATE IS THAT WE HAVE A RESOURCE CENTER THAT DOES A LOT OF OUTREACH FOR PEOPLE IN THE SPRING HILL COMMUNITY. AND 60% OF THE RESIDENTS THERE IS IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREA OF VOLUSIA COUNTY. 40% IN THE CITY OF DELAND. NOW, THIS CRA WITH THE GOAL WAS I SERVED AT THAT TIME ON THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDING. IT WAS ADVISORY FORWARD THE CITY OF DELAND. SOME OF THE FUNDS APPROPRIATED WERE APPROPRIATED TO HELP TO TRY TO SIMULATE THE ECONOMY IN THE SPRING HILL AREA. BASED ON THE FACT THAT FEDERALLY THEY HAD DONE SOME WEED AND SEED PROGRAM THERE IS. SUPPOSED TO WEED OUT. THIS WAS THE BOOMING AREA FOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS IN THE LAND BACK HAD THE 40s, 50s, MAYBE 30s. ALL MINORITY BUSINESSES WERE IN THAT AREA. I WOULD SAY 80%. SOME WERE ON THE AREAS OF VOORHEES CALLED WRIGHTS CORNER. THEY HAVE -- LIKE THE WRIGHT CORNER AND THEN THE SPRING HILL AREA, AND NOW, IT IS RESIDENTIAL AND THEY HAVE THAT RESOURCE CENTER. IT IS TRYING TO HELP REHAB AND GET FOLK BACK TO WORK. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST POOREST AREAS IN VOLUSIA COUNTY. I KNEE THE CRA IS NOT A TRADITIONAL CRA AS WE SEE THAT TODAY. BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN WITH COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE COUNTY. WHAT WE ARE DOING IS JUST WHEN I WAS IN THE LEGISLATURE WE HAD SOME WATER PROJECTS GOING. WE WERE ABLE TO GET FUNDING FOR SPRING HILL AREA TO PUT IN SOME INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THAT SPRING HILL AREA. SOME OF THAT FUNDING IS 140,000 DOLLARS LEFT IN THE CRA SLASH CITY COUNCIL COULD HAVERS. THEY HAVE BEEN USING THAT FOR OPERATION, IF YOU WILL, OF THE SPRING HILL RESOURCE CENTER. NOW BEAR IN MIND. FOLKS GO FOR HELP IN THE COMPUTERS AND THEY GO THERE FOR JOB APPLICATIONS. THEY ARE TRYING TO HELP SUSTAIN THE RESIDENTS IN THIS AREA. SO MANY OF THE PROJECTS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO BEGAN TO SEED IF YOU WILL THE AREA, ARE NOT BEING ADDRESSED BECAUSE IT IS JUST NOT, YOU JUST DON'T HAVE THE FUNDING TO DO THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO, IF TO HAVE SOME DIALOGUE THE CITY AND THIS, AND THE COUNTY COUNCIL, WITH STAFF INPUT, WHAT CAN WE DO TO BEGIN TO REALLY ADDRESS SOME OF THE NEEDS THAT WE HAVE SEEN IN THIS NONTRADITIONAL CR THAT IS SO MUCH NEEDED IN THIS COMMUNITY. AND I THAT I IF WE COULD HAVE A POSSIBLE VISION SESSION, WHERE ARE WE GOING AND HOW CAN WE GET THERE AS A COUNTY AND AS A CITY, TO GET OUR ARMS AROUND TO HELP THE INFRASTRUCTURE, THEN PEOPLE AND ESTABLISH BEGIN GROW THE AREA SO THAT WE COULD ONE DAY MAYBE COT BECOME AN AREA THAT IS NOT ONLY WEEDED OUT BUT WE HAVE PLANTED SOME SEEDS THAT IT CAN DEVELOP AND GROW AGAIN. I NEED FOR THE COUNCIL MEMBERS TO JUST HEAR THIS AND TRY TO HELP MAKE SOME DECISIONS. I KNOW THAT MR. CHAIR, THAT YOU RESPONSE TO MR. PATTERSON AND IN HIS DISTRICT ALSO. I GREW UP THERE. IT IS IN A MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL AND THE AT LARGE MEMBER, I THINK WE HAVE SOME RESPONSIBILITY TO TRY TO TAKE A LOOK TO SEE IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO. AT A BUDGET OF 72,000 DOLLARS A YEAR IN A YEAR'S TIME, THERE WILL BE NO FUND FORCE THAT. SO I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO BE ABLE TO GET OUR ARMS AROUND THAT BEFORE THAT TIME COME. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOME MR. DENINE IF YOU CAN KIND OF ADDRESS. I HAD THIS CONVERSATION WITH HIM. I WANT TO HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.
