that's all that I have mayor thank you very much thank you commissioner District uh four thank you thank you thank you mayor and i' just like to make a brief statement about the the Brom Braves rolling kids I mean they are just so inspirational because a lot of people might not know the backstory they had partnered with a group to help them buy their boats and and run their boat house and everything like that and that group basically pulled up and they had no boats they had nothing to compete with and they had to start completely from scratch and commissioner inks thank you so much for helping with the boat house and we see how far these kids have come from having nothing to actually coming back with state championships this what H this is what happens when you support kids so commissioner in again it's it's at Turkey Lake Park where they practice I appreciate you so much but you know the Boon Brave kids they just they've just done great work to bring back this and you know that's just one of those feel bit moments you say you know what we invested in these kids and it really paid back so thanks again mayor thank you for all your support on that as well it's great to see these kids thriving after a really bad thing happened and they really really really turned it around um there's been a lot of talk on social media and I don't know if anybody um here today on item C6 the municipal planning board minutes but a lot of times I see things out in social media and we're asked to comment on them I can't do that as a commissioner I can't get out on social media and comment on things that are coming before councel it's actually a violation of public records law and it's very difficult though to counter misinformation that's being put out on social media when I can't come in it because I would be violating a public records law so even though I'm a very very transparent person try to comment on things when I can and kind of run into a little bit difficulty I'm going to read a statement for a reason because there's legal implications have involved so on today's agenda I want to clarify something for my constituents relating to a couple of proposed new developments near Lake Yola item number C6 on the agenda is accepting the meeting minutes and approving the recommendation act recommended actions from the municipal planning board's July 21st meeting with the exception of the recommendation for the Madera Central project that's the proposed residential Tower at the current location of the University Club on Central and Rosland and the City Center project caddy corner across Central and Rosland and adjacent to Lake Yola Park to be clear these projects were considered by the mpb on July 21st but are not being considered by the city council today because both projects have been appealed to a quasi judicial hearing officer City Council will consider these projects after the hearing officer has heard the cases and sends an additional recommendation to us this process can take several months while this process is ongoing our constituents should feel free to share their opinions with me and with all of us on the city council but we have a legal obligation to reserve formulating an opinion on the applications until the quasa judicial process has run its course and the record of decision is submitted to council at a public hearing because of that we can't even respond to any of these other than to acknowledge that we have received them this ensures that all parties both those for and against the proposals have a fair and open opportunity for a public hearing so if anybody's here to talk about that today it's not that we're trying to hide anything this is the public process I'm glad that it's been you know a very rigorous public process and people are very excited about it but again we're not going to be hearing that item today and that's why and that's why I haven't responded on social media that's why I've said I can't comment on this and one of them is actually in commissioner Hills district but one of the one of the appealed processes in is in my district but just wanted to be completely transparent and clear about the process moving forward and that's all I had mayor thank you so much thank you move to District Five commissioner Hill thank you mayor um quite a few things is always going on in District 5 I'd like to thank uh under your leadership mayor and your staff uh housing with uh finally getting her done with that $695,000 Grant over at the um Richard Allen Gardens apartment there in Paramore I'm really excited about that project getting ready to get under the underway because I do believe that is going to be one of the anchors of what's to come now in that west side of excuse me south side of Paramore uh so I'm really excited about that thank you guys for uh uh your stick uh sticking in there and getting it done I know there was a lot of work uh to put that together I'm excited about um this the mpb recommendations approval and granting hopefully will approve that today over in District 5 at the guardian care uh nursing home facility it's one of the first and only African-American uh nursing homes here in the city of Orlando under the leadership of Miss Eloise Abraham and uh the board president Mr aor reic I often visit that facility and uh uh meet with the uh

and park and Rex and their evening attire and and um uh how would you say it uh uh actually becoming little actresses and actors and and the Raw Talent that's in our park in Rick's department and just to see and and forgive me for lack of better words some of our our most neediest kids are City kids they standing on that Performing Arts stage and their parents in the audience many that might not be able to attend a Broadway show but to actually see their children perform it was so storn and I know many uh because of that stage they have gotten that bug and possibly will be back 15 years from now as a Broadway singer or actor so thank thank you parks and Rex and staff for your great leadership they put that together in like 6 weeks uh on August the 1 we had our uh last lacrosse game there at

scholarship uh college scholarship our opportunities and and to see them start to uh uh and thank you to Little Miss edmans for her leadership and volunteers and uh uh in the community uh on that very same day we uh started our first and partner with a organization here in the Paramore Community called heart to heart and we uh started our first Inner City soccer league and it was over a 100 kids that came out and Atlanta City socus assisting us to where we're now grooming uh uh kids there not just in Paramore but Pine Hills and throughout the city and the great part about this is the parents don't have to pay they don't have to pay for registration they don't have to pay for uniforms uh they don't have to pay for equipment the only thing they need to do is bring their kids so I'm really excited uh about uh the future with uh soccer in the inner city and being exposed to that we also on August the 7th had a ribbon cutting um at the Salvation Army at William boo towers with our our seniors resource fair at Williams Booth towers and over 200 uh seniors participated um there mostly the overlooked population we know that and it was at least 30 vendors that came with resources to

Adida uh tennis shoes uh we'll be giving to needy kids there in that District 5 Pine Hills uh corer at the IMR Hammerton field we're anticipating about 4,000 uh residents from all around uh to come so I'm really excited about that uh and the reason it's called for steps in the right direction it's because and I can recall uh kids that parents just have barely enough uh to keep the lights on and food on the table you know it's something when a kid go back to shoes with uh school with a new pair of shoes you know their self-image and and esteem is affected if they don't so so hopefully with those pair of shoes will help them uh uh and those book packs will help give them the foundation for a successful year I would like to also uh say commissioner Stewart I was one of the women that uh went uh to boot camp at the neighbor Center it was the only uh facility in the nation that women could go to boot camp and I was uh part of uh k018 so so that is a great uh Monument 1986 i' like to introduce I do have a a new Aid executive Aid that's well qualified I'm have happy that he's on board to assist me uh with uh uh uh District 5 businesses and the residents and in the city here of Orlando to uh continue to uh uh build that District um uh Justin Felton he has uh is coming uh from a long term stand what can you stand Justin has implemented major programs uh through his leadership ship in Pin Hills at the Urban League where he spearheaded most things uh and I I'm certain that we will uh uh really be proud of of the things that he's going to assist me with here in District 5 and that's it except for one little thing mayor and if Marc is here I do have a a little concern when I heard that about the registration for the Atlanta speak out uh most of my constituents there in that area area doesn't don't have computer access uh to go online uh to register and usually what I do is I have a volunteer canvasing team that go out and put out literature on the doors if if there is a way to amend that so that they can be included in the process there in the community uh because I fear that they might not because they're not going to be able to go on to to pre-register I don't know how that'll work well so can do I don't think you have to register online you can pre-register in writing so if you have people canvasing they can bring registration for for them to fill out all right that'll be great I'll do that all right commissioner RS thank you mayor I just want to say on item D6 uh commissioner Stewart uh the lone sailor monument and Memorial uh I would definitely be willing to assist in whatever what I can do to help with this particular project because this is a great project and uh I love the rendering it speaks volumes for the city of Orlando and uh what you guys have done with that so you can Count Me In as well great on um this past Friday July well on Friday July 31st um I was out at the um Turkey Lake um Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake the jv's foundation which is jumping in the victory Foundation uh was present with their end of the summer program and they were actually uh celebrating the youth that were involved in their program they had over 25 youth in the program and this was the fight against um human trafficking and what they do is make sure that our kids are pro protected uh the one thing that I said as I uh spoke before the group and some of the parents that were there and there were visiting organizations from outside of Orlando uh that came to Turkey Lake Park for this event and I said that you know we have to draw a line in the sand to protect our kids and we do have to do that and we do have to make a statement because TR human trafficking is one of the leading cause of our kids getting on drugs drinking uh killing themselves committing suicide and also getting involved in prostitution because they're forced into that and so Miss Denise Lewis who is the founder of this U program is housed currently at the Frontline Outreach and so she's been doing a remarkable job and we want to uh thank her for her effort then also Saturday August the 1st at the Dr James R Smith Center the uh Smith Center Wildcats and 49ers had their awards banquet and the young players and the cheerleaders were all given their Trophies the families were there to uh see them get their uh rewards and also uh the recent uh well the

support and dedication and Community leadership to the West Orlando wild cats youth football program in district 6 um also former NFL player Keith Council was the guest speaker for the event and Keith Council um is the brother to Kia Council who used to work here with the uh city of Orlando Police Department chief Pigman and uh Keith Council grew up in Orlando and played with the Minnesota Vikings

Family Matters uh along with Carl and URL Miss Joe Marie uh pton and Miss Joe Marie Payton has an excellent program that she's working with young people and I'd like to get her into the Orlando area to talk about doing some things with our young young ladies as well uh mayor I think that international house keeping the um Proclamation was great and what would be even greater is if that International housekeeping uh organization had an award that they can give each year to an outstanding uh housekeeper because they do play a very important role in making sure that the hospitality is felt and that people feel secure in their rooms and that kind of thing when they come and visit Orlando and also while at the NBC Leo Summer Conference on the 7th which was Friday night I received the
