##VIDEO ID:s7vBT0Tjavs## THINGS ARE MORE STABLE AND I  DECIDED TO LEAVE CHARLOTTE  COUNTY UTILITIES. AND I WENT  AND GOT MY INTERNS LICENSE  THOSE VERY EXCITING DOING THAT  FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME,  BUT AFTER A WHILE I STARTED  THINKING ABOUT THE UTILITY. IT  WAS IN MY HEART AT THIS POINT  I HAD ALMOST 12 JUST 2 MONTHS,  SHY OF 12 YEARS AND AND SO I  REALIZED DURING THAT TIME. MY  HEART WAS IN UTILITIES AND SO  I STARTED LOOKING AROUND AGAIN  I THINK OPENING HERE TO BE  SEEING IN THE SO I APPLIED AND  I GOT IN TYPICALLY I GET HERE  AT 7 IN THE MORNING. I GET MY  LIST YOU KNOW IF I CAN GET TO  THIS THIS IS WHAT I NEED TO DO  AND.  >> I GET IN MY TRUCK IF I NEED  ANY SUPPLIES PARTS TOOLS BASED  OFF OF THE WORK I WAS GIVEN  THAT MORNING, I'LL PICK THAT  UP HERE AT OUR SHOP AND THEN I  HEAD OUT IN THEM. MICHAEL FOR  THE DAYS GET AS MUCH WORK AS  THAT WAS ASSIGNED TO DONE AS  POSSIBLE. AND SOMETIMES THAT  HAPPENS AND OTHER TIMES  THERE'S A LOT OF FIRST  RESPONSE CALLS THAT COME IN MY  FAVORITE PART IS THE  UNIQUENESS NOT KNOWING WHAT  I'M GOING TO BE FACED WITH  EVERY DAY. IT COULD BE  DIFFERENT. IT'S NOT MUNDANE IN  ANY WAY.  >> AND IT'S EXCITING WHEN YOU  GET A CALL AND YOU'RE YOU'RE  ON YOUR WAY YOU DON'T KNOW  WHAT IT IS AND YOU YOU HAVE  THE EXPERIENCE AND THE  KNOW-HOW AND THE BACKING TO  FACE WHATEVER IT'S GOING TO BE  SO I FEEL VERY CONFIDENT IN  FACING THESE CALLS AND I THINK  THAT'S WHAT DIFFERENT PART.  >> TODAY IS MONDAY OCTOBER 7  2024. IT IS 09:00AM AND WE'RE  IN THE CITY CHAMBERS AND I  CALL THE CITY COMMISSION  REGULAR WORKSHOP MEETING TO  ORDER. PRESIDENT WE HAVE  COMMISSIONER EMRICH VICE MAYOR  STOKES MYSELF CLEAR LIGHT  COMMISSIONER LANGDON  COMMISSIONER MCDOWELL WE HAVE  INTERIM CITY ATTORNEY GOING  AND WE HAVE CITY MANAGER WE  ALSO HAVE BOTH CHIEFS IN THE  HOUSE FIRE CHIEF TITUS AND  POLICE GARRISON. GOOD TO SEE  EVERYBODY HERE AND I'M GOING  TO CALL ON OUR NATURAL  RESOURCE TO LEAD US IN THE  >> I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE  FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF  AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC  FOR WHICH IT STANDS ONE NATION  UNDER INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY  AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.  >> I THINK WE ALL HAVE A  SISTER CITY CLERK POWELL TODAY  AND SPECIALS AND THAT REMINDED  BECAUSE WE'RE MOVING ON TO  PUBLIC COMMENT IS THERE PUBLIC  COMMENTS. YES, MA'AM. ROBIN  >> I WISH I COULD BE THIS  MORNING TO MAKE AN IN-PERSON  COMMENT. HOWEVER, THE PENDING  HURRICANE REQUIRE MY ATTENTION  AND SO MANY AREAS MY COMMENTS  AROUND THE ROAD AND CO ARE  TAKING PLACE ON PARTIES  WARM MINERAL SPRINGS PART. I  MISSION TO THE COUNTY AND COPY  THIS COMMISSION LEADERSHIP  IMPERTINENT STAFF I HOPE THAT  YOU ALL THE TIME TO READ AND  REVIEW IT IF NOT I WOULD  HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO  SO THIS IS AN EXTREMELY  OUTRAGEOUS SITUATION THAT  TOTALLY LACKS THE PROPER  OVERSIGHT REQUIRES IMMEDIATE  ACTION TO ENSURE THE LIFE  SAFETY ISSUES AND THE  INTEGRITY OF THE PROTECTED  KOREAN LATE, ESPECIALLY GIVEN  THE PENDING HURRICANE WITH THE  PROJECTED GREEN LEVELS AND  FLOODING. THANK AND THAT'S ALL  RIGHT. THANK YOU.  >> MOVING ON WHOLE NEW CITY  MANAGER THIS IS YOUR ITEM.  THANK YOU MADAM WHERE  DESIGNERS 24 DASH 1415.  PRESENTATION GOING BETWEEN 24  WHAT RICK ENEMY ASSESSMENT. I  WANT TO TURN IT OVER TO THE  DIRECTOR ARE NOT 26 DIVISION  THIS YEAR. STEPHEN POLICE  BELIEVE IS THAT THE DISCUSSION  THANK YOU.  >> THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING.  MAYOR VICE MAYOR COMMISSIONERS  CITY MANAGERS THAT CITIZENS.  OUR KIND CITY JUST INTRODUCED  ME MY NAME IS THAT ON KAYE  LIVE NATURAL RESOURCES  DIVISION MANAGER. THE CITY OF  NORTH PORT'S AIMED I WILL GIVE  YOU A BRIEF SUMMARY OF ALL ARE  TREE CANOPY ASSESSMENT THAT WE  WE RECENTLY COMPLETED. SO THE  GOALS OF THE PRESENTATION  TODAY OR TO PRESENT THE  FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF  OUR CANOPY ASSESSMENT TO OUR  COMMISSION IN TO ANY QUESTIONS  YOU MAY HAVE. JUST A BRIEF  OVERVIEW. THIS STUDY WAS  COMPLETED IN THE BEGINNING OF  JUNE. IT WAS CONDUCTED  COMPLETED AND BARELY  INTERNALLY WHICH ULTIMATELY  RESULTED OUR DIVISIONS SAVING  A TIME AND RESOURCES TO  COMPLETE THIS A COMPREHENSIVE  STUDY. THE BASELINE IS  SARASOTA COUNTY TREE CANOPY  ASSESSMENTS THAT WE'VE  IDENTIFY EAT AND WE FOUND THAT  TO BE QUITE A SUCCESSFUL WAY  TO COMPLETE SUCH STUDY. WHERE  THE BULK OF THE RESEARCH  WORKING DALLAS IS IS DONE  THROUGH FREELY AVAILABLE  SOFTWARE COLTS. I TREE CANOPY.  I WOULD LIKE FOR A MINUTE  ABOUT THE SARASOTA COUNTY IN  THEIR STUDY. AND IT'S I WILL  ALSO MENTIONS SOME OF THE  OTHER STUDIES RESEARCH THAT  WAS PREVIOUSLY AVAILABLE.  BEFORE WE INITIATED OUR ALL.  SO THE SARASOTA TREE IS A  COMPREHENSIVE. CANOPY STUDY  FOR THE ENTIRE SARASOTA  COUNTY. IT INCLUDES LIMITED  DATA FOR PORT. ANY WAS  CONDUCTED INTERNALLY BY THE  SARASOTA COUNTY'S  ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION  DIVISION STAFF BACK IN 2013.  UTILIZE THE EYE TREE SOFTWARE  USED A METHOD CALLS US THAT  THIS THE COAL. LATE WHICH.  GATHERS OF DATA POINTS AND IS  ABLE TO. USEFUL AND EASY TO  COMPREHEND DATA BASED ON THESE  POINTS AND NOW I'LL TALK A BIT  MORE ABOUT THAT AS I DISCUSS  OUR RESEARCH METHODS. THE  RESULTS FOR NORTH PORT'S OR AS  FALLS. TREE CANOPY OR SHRUBS  APPROXIMATELY 36% COVERAGE.  GROUND COVER 29% THERE 23%.  OPEN WATER 3% ANY IMPERVIOUS  SURFACE, 9%. I TALK A BIT MORE  ABOUT THESE CATEGORIES IS. OUR  STUDY USED THE SAME WANTS SO  I'LL I'LL DESCRIBE IT IN MORE  DETAIL IN THE NEXT FEW SLIDES.  SO THE WE HAVE THE FLORIDA  URBAN TREE CANOPY ASSESSMENT  WHICH IT'S A IT'S A A RESEARCH  ASSESSMENT CONDUCTED BY THE  FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF  AGRICULTURE AND CONSUMER  SERVICES IN COLLABORATION WITH  A PRIVATE VENDOR. IT WAS  CONDUCTED COMPLETED IN 2024,  IT'S AN OPEN SOURCE. STUDY  AIMS THAT LAYERS ARE FREELY  AVAILABLE ONLINE. SO WE FOUND  THIS TO ANOTHER GOOD. POINT  RESEARCH THAT WE COULD USE FOR  OUR AND BETTER.  SO THE STUDY CONDUCTED BY AT  THE AX. IT ONLY MEASURED THE  CANOPY WITH TREES THAT ARE 10  FEET OR TALLER. THESE ARE THE  ONLY ONES THAT ARE CONSIDERED  ITS CANOPY COVERAGE. SO LET'S  SAY YOU HAVE. YOU HAVE A  SAPLING THAT 7 OR 8 FEET. THE  WAY THAT THEY'VE DONE THE NOW  IT'S IS USING LIGHTER WORK. IT  WOULD NOT ESTIMATED THAT  SAMPLING IS A TREE CANOPY IN  HERE YOU CAN SEE THEIR DETAIL  LATER. THAT INCLUDES THE CITY  OF NORTH ORTON AND I WANT TO  POINT OUT THAT EVEN AREAS SUCH  IS. HAMMOCK WILDLIFE PRESERVE  AND THE MYAKKA STATE FOREST.  WE HAVE THESE VAST AREAS OF  OPEN LAND. AS WE FLORIDA HAS A  DIVERSE CABINET HABIT THAT  THERE'S WETLANDS THERE, I'M  BUYING FLAT WOODS AND OTHER  AREAS. WE CAN HAVE DIFFERENT  COVERAGE BUT THIS STUDY  PROVIDES SOME GREAT DAY TO ANY  SHOWS HOW. OPENING OPEN AREA  WITH. SHRUBS LIKING CANOPY IS  ALSO A NORMAL PART OF OUR  ECOSYSTEM AS YOU CAN SEE AREAS  LIKE THESE RESERVES AND IT'S  STATE FOREST KEN. THAT'S TO  THAT. SO THIS IS THE CANOPY  COVERAGE BASED OWN. THE  PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED STUDY IT  SHOWS US WHERE IS THE GREATEST  NEEDS FOR CANOPY AND WHERE WE  HAVE. MORE FOR STATE AREAS  THROUGHOUT OUR CITY. THE  DARKER THE SHADE OF THE MORE  TREES THAT SIGNIFIES. ANOTHER  FREELY AVAILABLE SOURCE THAT  WE DISCOVERED. IT'S CALLED THE  TREE EQUITY SCORE. AND THIS IS  A DAY TO MAP TOOL THAT LINKS  CANOPY COVERAGE AND CITIZEN  WELL-BEING SO THIS. THIS THEY  TO SAY IT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT.  SO I'M NOT JUST THE TREE  COVERAGE, BUT ALSO  SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS  THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY OF  DATA AVAILABLE FOR EACH OF  THESE REGIONS. SO GENERAL THAT  HIRED THIS COURT. THE BETTER  THE TREE COVERAGE IN THE MORE  SUITABLE THAT COVERAGE WOULD  BE IN THESE AREAS AND THE  LOWER THE SCORE THE GREATER  NEED FOR MORE TREES. ARE SHOW.  AND FINALLY. I WILL DELVE INTO  OUR OUT HOW ARE ALL NOW TREE  CANOPY ASSESSMENT. DIVISION  HAS EXPLORED VARIOUS SOFTWARE  OPTIONS FOR THE PROJECT. SHOWS  THE I PRE SOFTWARE DUE TO ITS  CONVENIENCE FLEXIBILITY AND  COMPATIBILITY. THE I 3  SOFTWARE WAS USED 2013 BY  SARASOTA COUNTY AS MENTIONED  BEFORE. THE I 3 SALT WORKING  CATEGORIZE LAND COVER AND 3  COM. AND BEING ANY REGION  USING RANDOM SAMPLING POINTS  AND I WILL SHOW WHAT THAT  LOOKS LIKE IN THE NEXT FEW  SLIDES. THE SOFTWARE  CAPABILITIES ALSO INCLUDE.  CARBON DEPSITE SEQUESTRATION.  ESTIMATION AIR QUALITY  IMPROVEMENT ESTIMATION, AND  SOME STORM WATER DATA BASED ON  THE CANOPY COVERAGE OF TREES  WHICH I PERSONALLY FIND  AMAZING AIMS. THE BEST PART IS  THAT THIS SOFTWARE SOURCES  FREE. AS AN OPEN SOURCE AS  MENTIONS IT'S IT'S A  COST-EFFECTIVE CHOICE FOR OUR.  CITY WE WE BELIEVE AND THIS IS  WHY WE CHOSE THIS. EXCUSE ME.  SO. THAT HERE SHOWS THE  COVERAGE. INCLUDING THE MYAKKA  STATE FOREST ORANGE HAMMOCK  WILDLIFE. MANAGEMENT AREA. SO  WE HAVE 5 CLASSIFICATIONS  POINTS. THE FIRST ONE. TREES  AND CAN IT BE THE SECOND ONE  WOULD BE GROUND COVER WE  CHEESE A NATURAL TYPE OF  SHRUBBERY HABIT THAT THAT'S  COMMONLY. SEEN THROUGHOUT  FLORIDA INCLUDING IN THE  MYAKKA STATE FOREST. THE NEXT  CATEGORY HIGHLIGHTING AROUND  SIGNIFIES BEAR GROUNDS WHICH  ULTIMATELY EITHER RECENTLY  CLEARED ITS OR. AREAS THAT ARE  SO TO SPEAK MANICURED SOLID  STATE.  A BARE GROUND EXAMPLE WOULD  BE. ANY AREA LET'S KING. I'M A  SINGLE FAMILY. AND A  SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE.  NEXT CATEGORY IS IMPERVIOUS  SURFACE. SO THESE WOULD BE OUR  ROADWAYS. ROOFTOPS DRIVEWAYS.  SOURCE. AND FINALLY THE WATER  CATEGORY WHICH. OF COURSE  THESE WOULD BE OUR WATERWAYS  AND WETLANDS THAT CURRENTLY  HOLD WATER. AS WELL AREAS SUCH  AS THE CATCHY CREATE. CAN NOW  AIMS ANY OTHER WATER BODY SUCH  AS TENSION AREA SO FORTH. SO  THE FIRST SAY SET OF DATA FOR  THE ENTIRE AREA. IT CONSISTED  OF 1000 DATA POINTS THAT OUR  STAFF. USED TO. SO SAY  CALIBRATE THE EYE TREE CANOPY  SOFTWARE SO THE MORE POINTS  YOU THINK IN THE MORE POINTS  YOU CALIBRATE THE MORE  ACCURATE YOUR CANOPY COVERAGE  GIVE US. WE CHILLS TO START  WITH 1000 POINTS FOR THE  ENTIRE AREA WHICH ELIMINATED  THE MARGIN OF ERROR TOO.  SLIGHTLY OVER ONE PERCENT SO  THIS IS ACCORDING TO THE I 3  WERE AMES, WE FELT THAT THIS  WILL BE A GOOD PLACE WHERE WE  WANT TO BEAT. SO USING THIS.  NEED. WE'VE ESTIMATED  APPROXIMATELY 38%. COVER H  WITH TREES OR SHRUBS 22 PER  CENT COVERAGE GROUNDWATER. 21  PER CENT COVERAGE FAIRGROUNDS.  13 PER CENT COVERAGE  IMPERVIOUS AND 6 PER CENT  COVERAGE WAR. WE WANT TO ALSO.  IMPLEMENT FEW DIFFERENT  SCENARIOS AS WE HAVE THE  FLEXIBILITY SO WE WANTED TO.  DO THE SAME TYPE OF RESEARCH  FOR THE SAME AREA HOWEVER  EXCLUDING THE MYAKKA STATE  FOREST.  AND YOU CAN SEE SAMPLE DATA  POINTS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED BY  CITY STAFF. AND THIS IS WILL  WE. THOUGH AS FAR AS SURFACE.  CLASSIFICATION BASED ON THE  SAME 5 CATEGORIES. FREEZER  SURE UP 38% GROUND COVER 16%  THEIR GROUND 25% 14% AND WATER  7%. NOW WE WANTED AND THING  ITS AIMS WE PROCEEDED WITH THE  SAME. AMOUNT OF DATA POINTS AS  THE PREVIOUS ONE, HOWEVER  EXCLUDING THE ORANGE HAMMOCK  WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA.  WHICH IS TO THE NORTH  NORTHEAST OF COURSE. AMES OUR  CANOPY COVERAGE THEY THAT CAME  TO APPROXIMATELY 34%. A  SIGNIFICANTLY LESS GROUND  COVER GAME AT 14%. OF LARGE  HIRE THEIR GROUND PER CENT  COVERAGE 26%. IT'S  SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER  IMPERVIOUS SURFACE COVERAGE AT  18%. AND THE WATER WATERWAYS  INTO 8%. ALSO WE DID A  SEPARATE COVERAGE STUDY FOR  THE AMERICAN STATE FOREST. AND  WE'VE IDENTIFIED APPROXIMATELY  55%. TREES OR SHRUBS 37%  GROUND COVER 3% VERY GROUNDED  5% WATER. THAT WAS IN ANY  IMPERVIOUS SURFACE. HOWEVER  OUR FROM OUR DATA POINTS WHICH  IS UNDERSTANDABLE FOR THE  STATE FOREST. FINALLY I TREAT  CANOPY SOFTWARE. YOU KNOW  CALAIS SHUNS FOR.  THE AREA THAT IDENTIFIED. THIS  DATA SPEAKS FOR THE CITY  WITHOUT EXCLUDING THE AMERICAN  STATE FOREST.  THE SOME OF THE. WANT THESE  HERE REPRESENT AVOIDED RUNOFF  WHICH WAS ESTIMATED IT. NEARLY  20 MILLION GALLONS. YEAR  INTERCEPTION OF WATER. GAME 2  OVER 1 BILLION 665 MILLION  GALLONS. INTERCEPTED RAINWATER  OR YEAR. FOR INSPIRATION. YOU  CAN SEE THAT THAT TELL YOU  THAT ISSUE SHUN AND IF APPLE  TRANSPORATION. HOWEVER,  SOMETHING THAT REALLY GRABBED  MY ATTENTION IS THE NEXT ARTS  WHICH SHOWS HOW MUCH CARBON IS  OUR TREE CANOPY TULSI QUEST  THE RING OR ABSORBING.  ANNUALLY FOR THE FIRST FOR THE  FIRST PARTS ON LEFT THERE YOU  CAN SEE THAT THAT'S OVER. 30  SO 30 KILOTONS PER YEAR WHICH  HE'S 30,000 TONES OF CARBON OF  SORTS OR YEAR. AND IS A FULL  HOUR CAN IT AS SORTS IN STUART  OVER 766. 1000 TONES OF  OVERALL WHICH IS UNIMPRESSIVE  VALUE IN AN IMPRESSIVE  AMOUNTS. THERE'S A WAY TO THE  VALUE MOMENTARILY IS THERE  CARBON IS SOMETHING THAT CAN  BE PRICED IN CAN BE. EVALUATE  IT. SO THE BENEFITS OF. OUR  CANOPY EVE.  TO BE WANT TO FIGHT. STRICTLY  FOR THE CARBON TO OVER 130.  130 MILLION. WORSE. IN JUST A  BIG THIS A BIT FURTHER. THE  SOFTWARE SHOWED US SOME OF THE  CARBON MONOXIDE THAT'S BEING  REMOVED ANNUALLY. WHICH IS  OVER 10 PER YEAR NITROGEN  DIOXIDE. SO THESE AIR QUALITY  SO. THEIR REMOVAL IS A  SIGNIFICANTLY MAKING OUR NEEDS  AFFECTING OUR LIKES. EVEN  THOUGH WE DON'T REALIZE IT.  HEAR SOME MORE DATA 537,000  ALSO BEING REMOVED. AND OF  COURSE PARTICULAR MATTER  THAT'S THAT'S ANOTHER NASTY  I'M ERIC WHILE AIR POLLUTANTS  THESE ARE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS.  JUST FINALLY I WANT TO.  COMPARE THE DIFFERENT SURFACE  COVERAGE. ACCORDING TO THE  SARASOTA COUNTY STUDY AND THEN  ACCORDING TO OUR WORK.  DEPENDING ON WHETHER WE WON'T  INCLUDE ACTS STATE FOREST OR  THE ORANGE HAMMOCK WILDLIFE  AREA THAT WOULD IMPACT THE  RESULTS BUT ULTIMATELY WE SEE  THAT OUR COVERAGE IS BETWEEN  34 38%. THE GROUND COVERED  THAT'S THAT'S A BIT LESS THAN  BETWEEN 14 TO 22%. THEN THE  GROUND AREA AND YOU DON'T OUR  ESTIMATION BETWEEN 21% AND  26%. IS A FOLLOW-UP TO DATA.  WANTED TO POINT THE SARASOTA  KATE CAN'T BE STUDY AND THE  CITIZENS AND THE CITY'S  DEVELOPMENT PATTERN SHOW  COMPARABLE CANOPY  DISTRIBUTION. BUT LET'S GROUND  COVER AND MORE IMPERVIOUS  COVERAGE. TREE CANOPY  ASSESSMENT THAT WE CONDUCTED  SHOWS 38% COVERED A CANOPY  COVERAGE, 22% GROUNDS. WITH  THE MYAKKA STATE FOREST IN THE  ORANGE HAMMOCK AND THEY WOULD  YOU WOULD BE UP 34 PER CENT  COVERAGE OF CANOPY 40% GROUND.  COMPARING THESE DATA SAY SINCE  THEY REVEAL SIMILAR CANOPY  COVERAGE, BUT A SIGNIFICANT  SHIFTING GROUND COVER. TO 2.  THE CITY'S DEVELOPMENT.  CERTAINLY A NOTE NOTABLE 4%  INCREASE PERVIOUS SURFACE WAS  OBSERVED. SOME OF THE  CONCLUSIONS ARE AGAIN AS  MENTION 38% 3 OH SURE OR 34%  FREE AND TRUMP'S WITHOUT THE  ENVIRONMENTAL AREAS. THE  MYAKKA STATE FOREST PROVIDES  COMPARABLE. COMPARABLE CANOPY  COVERAGE BUT SIGNIFICANTLY  HIGHER GROUND COVERAGE.  OF COURSE WE. THEY'LL TOO MUCH  INTO THE ALL THE OTHER  BENEFITS FROM. PRECIOUS  CANOPY. I THINK THAT NOW KNOW  IT'S A GOOD TIME ALSO  REITERATE THE IMPORTANCE TREE  CANOPY IN HOW IT'S CRUCIAL FOR  SHADING TEMPERATURE REGULATION  STORM WATER. THEN YOU ATION  AND BIODIVERSITY NATURAL  GROUND COVER INCLUDING  WETLANDS ALSO PLAYS A VITAL  ROLE IN 2 PARTON SHOULD NOT BE  OVERLOOKED. MANY TIMES WE JUST  LOOK AT CANOPY HOWEVER GROUND  COVER AND WETLANDS OF COURSE  THEY HIGH VALUE TOWARDS OUR  LOW BEING ULTIMATELY.  ONE OF THE BEST PARTS ABOUT  THIS APPROACH IN MY OPINION IS  THAT USING THIS METHOD. WEAKEN  NOW REPLICATE THIS RESEARCH,  LET'S SAY 2 YEARS FROM NOW.  LET'S SAY IN THE FUTURE WE CAN  DO THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND WE  WILL START. ESTABLISHING DATA  POINTS THAT WILL THEN GUIDE US  OR ITS. FRANCE AIMS EXISTING  PRINCE AND POTENTIALLY FUTURE  TRENDS. CERTAINLY ONE OF MY  FAVORITE PARTS ABOUT THIS  SOFTWARE THE EASE OF USE THE  FLEXIBILITY AND THE FACT THAT  WE CAN DO ON OUR OWN. MAYBE ON  MAYBE EVERY 2 YEARS OR SO  REALLY SHOW US WHERE WE'RE  GOING AND THEY'RE GOT TO WHERE  WE WANT TO GO. MEANS WITH THAT  BEING SAID LIKE GOING WITH  THAT EVERY TEST NO MATTER HOW  SMALL CAN CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS  THE PROTECTION OF OUR NATURAL  RESOURCES FROM. THIS CANOPY  ASSESSMENT TO ANY TREE THAT  SAVED OUT THERE ARE ANY  TREATMENTS PLANT THAT OUT  THERE. YOU KNOW MATTERS DO  SHOULD ITS IT'S A WAY FOR US  TO INSPIRE POSITIVE CHANGE  THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITY.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME PAIN A  TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT  YOU MIGHT.  >> OK THANK YOU. YES I FOR ONE  REALLY HAPPY THAT ONLY HAVE  THIS STUDY AIR.  >> SO LET'S START WITH  COMMISSIONER AVERAGE TAKEN  AWAY.  >> YEAH VERY GOOD PRESENTATION  LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION AND  THERE YOU HAD MENTIONED EARLY  ON THAT YOU UTILIZE LIGHT ARE.  NOW THAT YOUR STAFF GO OUT  LIKE FLY DRONES OVER THESE  AREAS ARE DID YOU TAKE  SATELLITE IMAGES TOO CALCULATE  THE TREE MASSES OUT THERE.  >> THANK YOU SO PERHAPS THAT  WAS A MISUNDERSTANDING OR  MISCOMMUNICATION ON MY PART.  THIS IS AN RESEARCH CONDUCTED  BY FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF  AGRICULTURE AND CONSUMER  SERVICES, SO THEY DID. YOU  SLIDE ARE AND AERIAL ANALYSIS  TO ESTIMATE THIS DATA SET  HERE. THIS WAS NOT DONE OUR  DIVISION THIS WAS DONE BY.  ULTIMATELY THE EFFORT OF THIS  RESEARCH BY AT SO WE DID NOT  CONDUCT ANY LIED ARE. HOWEVER  FOR OUR RESEARCH WE USED. IT  HIGH-DEFINITION ARIEL AND JURY  MANUAL DETERMINATION OF THE  POINT. SO JUST EXPLAIN THE WAY  THAT THE SOFTWARE WORKS YOU  PRETTY DEFINED IN THE AREA.  THE SOFTWARE SELECTS ONE  RANDOM LOCATION FROM THIS  AREA. AND THEN OUR STAFF. AS  WE SEE THE EXACT POINTS OF  THIS DATA POINTS WHICH THE  SOFTWARE CALIBER OR GENERATED  OUR STAFFING CELEBRATES THIS  POINT SO LET'S SAY THE POINT  IS OVER R-UTAH. WE WILL  CLASSIFIED IMPERVIOUS SURFACE.  THEN THE SOFTWARE GENERATES A  SECOND POINT IN THE 3RD. SO  THE MORE YOU REPLICATE THIS  PROCESS. BASED ON THESE RANDOM  SAMPLES THE MORE ACCURATE.  AERIAL COVERAGE YOU STARTED  GETTING. SO AS YOU GO TO 500  POINTS YOU START GOING TO A  FAIRLY ACCURATE REPRESENTATION  OF WHAT'S THERE. AND WHEN YOU  GO AT 8,000 POINTS WHICH IS  WHAT WE DID YOU YOU BASICALLY  GO ABOVE AND BEYOND YOU GET TO  A SLIM MARGIN OF ERROR. SO WE  USED THE GENERATING A  CAPABILITY BY THE SOFTWARE WE  CALIBRATED THESE EACH OF THESE  POINTS SO TO SPEAK OURSELVES.  >> OKAY ACCORDING TO THAT.  >> HOW OFTEN IS THAT SOFTWARE  ARE UPDATED AND THE REASON I  ASK THAT IS BECAUSE WE'VE GOT  A STORM COM AND WE COULD LOSE  PART OF TREE CANOPY WE HAVE  BUILDING GOING ON TO WHERE.  >> THAT HOUSING WOULD YOU KNOW  A PACKED IT BECAUSE YOU'RE  TALKING ABOUT ROOFTOPS  IMPERVIOUS HOW OFTEN IS THAT  UPDATED TO WHERE WE ACTUALLY  HAVE A MORE ACCURATE NUMBER IS  IT LIKE EVERY 2 YEARS CAN YOU  SAID YOU COULD REDO IT EVERY  YEARS WE CAN REDO IT THE ONLY  THING THAT THE SOFT RULE  UPDATE WILL BE THE MITCH.  >> SO LET'S SOON IS BELIEVE  THEY'RE UTILIZING GOOGLE'S  AREA. H CAPABILITIES SO LET'S  SAY AS SOON AS.  >> GOOGLE IMPLEMENTS THEIR NEW  GOOGLE MAP LAYER. WE WHICH IS  POST, LET'S SAY THIS FOR FOR  COMING STORM. WE CAN THEN.  SIMPLY LONG GAME AND USE THAT  NEW AERIAL IMAGE ESTIMATE, THE  NEW DATA POINTS BASED ON O  STORM. WHAT'S EXISTING OUT  THERE.  >> I APPRECIATE MY FINAL  QUESTION IS. IF THE CITY WERE  TO GET INTO A TREE PLANTING  PROCESS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO  GO OUTCOME. PLANT TREES TO  WHERE WE GO AHEAD AND USE THEM  THROUGHOUT THE CITY. WOULD YOU  RECOMMEND THAT WE START OUT AT  THE 10 FOOT LEVEL BECAUSE  COUNTS AS TREE CANOPY RATHER  THAN USING SMALLER SAMPLINGS.  >> I  >> SARASOTA COUNTY'S APPROACH  A ART WE IT WAS A DECISION  THAT WE WANTED TO MAKE.  >> IS.  >> IT'S EASIER TO IMPLEMENT  THAT BECAUSE IF WE WANT TO USE  THE SAME METHOD. AND POINT  FALLS OVER A TREE WHICH WE CAN  SEE ARIEL. IT WOULD BE HARD TO  ESTIMATE WHETHER THAT TREE IS  OVER THING FEEDING HEIGHTS OR  NOT THAT'S WHEN WE NEED TO  LOOK LIKE OUR CAPABILITY.  >> WHICH WE CANNOT DO WE  CANNOT FOR FOR SURE, BUT WE  FELT THAT.  >> ANY.  >> ANYTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE  SUFFICIENT SIZE TREE.  >> OR DONALD TRUMP. WHAT FIT  THAT CATEGORY AND ULTIMATELY  PROVIDE SOME TYPE OF CANOPY  COVERAGE.  >> THE REASON I HAVE SAID IF  WE STARTED TO DO A TREE FARM  TYPE THING AND WE PLANTED BOTH  SAY A 1010 FOOT TREES, WE KNOW  THAT THAT WOULD ALREADY COLIN  SIDE WITH THE REGULATION FOR  TREE CANOPY SO WE GET OUT OF  1002 ESTABLISHED A NUMBER THAT  WE GOT FROM THE SOPHOMORE,  THAT'S ALL I WAS TRYING ASK  US. WE MAY HAVE TO MAKE THAT  DECISION UP HERE DOWN THE IF  WE GO TO DO THAT.  >> YET THANK YOU. THANK  COMMISSIONER AND THAT THAT IS  A GOOD POINT IT'S IT'S A VALID  VALUABLE POINT THAT WE CAN  CONSIDER PLANTING HIRE A MORE  WELL AS BIGGER TREES  ULTIMATELY. SO THAT WILL BE  THAT WILL MEET CRITERIA.  >> THAT'S ALL I HAD THANK YOU  VERY MUCH AND AGAIN IT WAS A  VERY VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE  PRESENTATION. I APPRECIATE IT.  >> THANK YOU, THANK YOU SIR.  ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.  COMMISSIONER COMMISSIONER  LANGDON THANK YOU MAYOR I'M  VERY HAPPY TO HAVE THIS STUDY  BECAUSE AS WE REPEAT IT WILL  HAVE A FRAME OF REFERENCE.  CONCERN I HAD ABOUT IT AS I  WAS GOING THROUGH THE DATA IS  UNLESS I MISSED IT DO WE HAVE  ANY TARGET GOALS ARE DO WE  HAVE ASSESSMENT OF WHAT  GOODNESS LOOKS LIKE. YOU KNOW  WE SORT OF HAVE THIS DATA THAT  REPEATED THAT WILL GIVE US  SOME VALUE DO WE HAVE ANY  OBJECTIVES THAT WE'RE TRYING  TO REACH.  >> THANK YOU COMMISSIONER I  THINK THAT'S THAT'S A  FANTASTIC QUESTION IN THE  COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF COURSE  WE HAVE THE MENTIONS AND IT'S  A I.  >> BELIEVE THAT THAT'S.  >> IN MY OPINION BELIEVE THAT  THAT REASONABLE GOAL IS EVEN  SOME AREAS SUCH AS THE MYAKKA  STATE FOREST FOR EXAMPLE.  >> AND FAIRLY.  >> WILDS SO TO SPEAK AREAS.  THEY SHOW LIMITED CANOPY  COVERAGE AS WELL BECAUSE YOU  HAVE THE GROUND COVER YOU HAVE  THE WETLANDS. YOU HAVE THE  CANOPY I REALLY LIKE THIS.  >> IF YOU.  >> IF YOU LOOK AT STATE FOREST  AREA.  YOU CAN SEE THAT. AND THAT'S  FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF  AGRICULTURE STUDY YOU CAN SEE  THAT WOULD LIGHT ARE WHICH IS  HIGHLY ACCURATE. THE  PERCENTAGE OF TREE. GOVERNOR.  IS NOT I MEAN.  >> ACCORDING TO TO THEIR DATA.  >> ITS WE SEEM TO BE SOMEWHERE  AT 35%. THAT'S THE GREEN AREA.  PERHAPS THEY'RE MORE OF COURSE  SHRUBS AND THEY'RE AND THERE'S  HEIDI VALUABLE OPEN OPEN IT'S  USED BY YOU KNOW SOME SOME OF  OUR LIST SPECIES SUCH AS GOLF  COURSES. JAYS THEY FAVOR THAT.  >> I'M MORE OF  >> AREA THAT'S SUPPRESSED.  >> SO.  >> IN MY OPINION THAT.  >> 35%. MENTIONS. IS A GOOD.  GOOD TARGET. BUT OF COURSE  IT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE  FURTHER EVALUATED AND I'M  CERTAIN THAT. NOW COMMISSION  HAS ACCESS TO THIS STUDY  PERHAPS THEY EITHER CONFIRMING  TO THAT TARGET CHANGING.  >> BECAUSE AND ALSO OCCURS TO  ME THAT WE MIGHT HAVE  DIFFERENT EXPECTATIONS FOR  DIFFERENT AREAS PERHAPS WE  MIGHT HAVE A TARGET FOR  ACTIVITY CENTERS FOR EXAMPLE,  MAYBE A DIFFERENT TARGET. FOR  YOU KNOW SINGLE FAMILY HOME  COMMUNITIES. MY GENERAL  IMPRESSION HAS BEEN THE IMPACT  OF DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN  GREATER AND OUR SINGLE FAMILY  HOME NEIGHBORHOOD SPEND THAT  HAS BEEN AND OTHER AREAS SO IF  INDEED THAT'S ACCURATE AND I  THINK I'D LIKE TO SEE SOME  SPECIFIC NEIGHBORHOOD TARGETS  AND PROGRAMS IF IF THAT'S  WHERE WE NEED TO ANOTHER  COMMENT ON PAGE 6 OF REPORT.  YOU MENTIONED THAT THE IMPACT  OF HURRICANE IAN WAS NOT TAKEN  INTO ACCOUNT. IT'S MY  RECOLLECTION THAT WE LOST  THOUSANDS OF TREES. SO I THINK  IT WOULD BE WORTH THE EXERCISE  OF. YOU KNOW DOING A ROUGH  ESTIMATE WAS THAT PERCENT DID  IN. AND WE'RE FACING ANOTHER  ONE THIS WEEK. SO I I THINK IT  TENDS TO BE. AN AUTOMATIC  REACTION IF WE LOSE COVERAGE  THAT IT RESULTS FROM  DEVELOPMENT. IT WOULD BE  INTERESTING TO BE ABLE TO  ASSESS. MOTHER NATURE'S IMPACT  ON OUR TREE CANOPY AND THE  IMPACT OF DEVELOPMENT HOW MANY  TREES EVERY OOZING AS WE YOU  KNOW, PARTICULARLY IN  COMMERCIAL AREAS AS WELL JUST  A  >> I AM ANTICIPATING THAT THEY  WILL. THE UPDATING THE AERIALS  FOR WANG FOLLOWING END. SO  THAT CAN  >> EASILY ACCOMPLISHED BECAUSE  WAS JUST DEVASTATING TO OUR  TREE CANOPY AND I THINK IT  WOULD BE WHILE KIND OF  ASSESSING THAT AS THEY COME  THROUGH.  >> COULD YOU EXPLAIN TO ME  AGAIN HAVE A MONETARY VALUE IS  CALCULATED.  >> AND IT'S PROBABLY DIFFERENT  FOR DIFFERENT RIGHT.  >> AND ARE YOU REFERRING MORE  TOWARDS THE CAR. 14 WHAT'S A  PAGE 19.  >> AVOIDED RUNOFF. IS A VALUE  CALCULATION. OKAY.  >> SO. I AM NOT CERTAIN OF  EXACT MODEL. AND HOW THEY  CALCULATE THE VALUE  MOMENTARILY FROM RUN OFF. BUT  MY. MY GUESS IS THAT THERE IS  SPECIFIC MODEL THAT'S IN USE  THAT QUANTIFIES.  >> THE IMPACTS OF LET'S SEE  STORM WATER BUILDUP COMPARED  TO A MORE GRADUAL. TYPE OF  DEVELOPMENT DUE TO THAT  EXISTING CANOPY THAT PRINT.  IT'S SOMETHING THAT I  CERTAINLY LOOK INTO BUT MY  UNDERSTANDING IS THAT FOR EACH  OF ESTIMATES. THERE IS A MODEL  THAT'S THE NEWS THAT USUALLY  MORE ON A MORE COMPLEX LEVEL  THE SOFTWARE DOES THAT  AUTOMATICALLY BUT. I I WOULD  THINK THAT THAT'S THAT'S  THAT'S JUST OF IT WHERE. AS  YOU HAVE MORE OF THAT CANOPY  YOU KNOW THAT ANY WEIGHTS THAT  RAPID. RUNOFF FROM 8 DUE TO  EXCESSIVE RAINFALL. THAT MAKES  YOU KNOW. THAT MAKES THE STORM  WATER THAT THAT MAKES THE  STORMWATER  >> MORE  >> AND SHOWING LESS OF A PEAK.  STRETCHING IT OVER A LONGER  PERIOD OF TIME WHICH THEN  STRESSES STORMWATER SYSTEM  LESS BUT I AM NOT SURE EXACTLY  HOW THEY. QUANTIFIED THAT THAT  STRICTLY DATA THAT UP THINGS.  >> FROM FROM FROM THE SOFTWARE  CONTENT AND JUST A COUPLE OF  COMMENTS AND I'M ON PAGE 23,  OKAY, A VERY POOR.  >> AGAIN IT'S AROUND GOAL  SETTING I THOUGHT IT MIGHT  EVEN BE INTERESTING TO LOOK AT  SETTING OBJECTIVES CANOPY AND  OBJECTIVES BASED ON SOMETHING  TYPE JUST SORT OF A THOUGHT.  AND THEN IN THE CONCLUSION  THIS IS ALSO ON PAGE 23. IT'S  CRUCIAL TO MAINTAIN A BALANCED  HABITAT. I MIGHT HAVE MISSED  IT, DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS  LIKE THE PORT. SO OF THE  DIFFERENT ASSESSMENTS IT IN  YOUR OPINION IS THERE ONE THAT  MY US TO CONCLUDE THAT THIS A  BALANCED HABITAT ARE WE OUT OF  WHACK.  >> I THINK THERE IS NO.  UNFORTUNATELY THERE'S NO EASY  ANSWER HERE AND THERE'S NO.  WANTS A FITS ALL AND I REALLY  I'M PERSONALLY ALONG WITH YOUR  POINT THAT EACH AREA IS UNIQUE  AND HAS IT'S A UNIQUE.  PROPERTIES SO TO SPEAK SO.  IT'S SOMETHING THAT INITIALLY  WEAKEN. IDENTIFY YOU KNOW  SHOULD START THERE SHOULD BE A  GOAL. AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT  WE CAN CERTAINLY LOOKING LOOK  FORWARD TO THOSE  CONVERSATIONS.  >> BECAUSE AGAIN IT WAS  HELPFUL TO ME TO SORT OF SEE  WHAT THE SURROUNDING  COMMUNITIES, LOOK LIKE. BUT I  THINK WE WOULD ALL AGREE THAT  NORTH PUT ITS DIFFERENT. AND  WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON. SO OUR  CANOPY AND OUR NATURAL AREAS  SO. I WOULD ANTICIPATE THAT  OUR TARGETS VERY WELL LOOK  VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE  SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.  >> I AGREE AND I ALSO WANT TO.  MENTION THAT WITH THIS WITH  THIS SOFTWARE WE WE HAVE A  TOTAL FLEXIBILITY WE CAN RIGHT  PERHAPS LOOK AT SOME OLD  AERIALS EVEN. PERHAPS PRE  DEVELOPMENTS JUST SEE WHAT WAS  HERE BEFORE JUST TO GIVE US A  BETTER IDEA OF HOW EACH AARON  THAT EARLY FUNCTIONS.  >> THANK YOU FOR GREAT REPORT,  THANK YOU I APPRECIATE OKAY,  THANK COMMISSIONER MCDOWELL  YEAH, VERY GOOD REPORT. THANK  YOU I REMEMBER YEARS STAFF WAS  TALKING ABOUT THE TREE CANOPY  SOFTWARE AND HOW IMPRESSIVE  THAT WAS BACK THEN TAKING  INFORMATION IN CREATING THIS  REPORT FANTASTIC JOB, THANK  YOU. I DO HAVE A COUPLE  QUESTIONS BASED ON WHAT MY  FELLOW COMMISSIONERS WERE  ASKING HAS KIND OF LIKE A  FOLLOW-UP. SO YOU SAID THAT  YOU GUYS USE THE SOFTWARE  SIMILAR TO LIKE WHAT GOOGLE  IMAGES. AND THE REPORT WAS  DONE IN 2024. BUT I HEARD WHEN  YOU ANSWERED COMMISSIONER  LANGDON IS QUESTION IT DID  TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ABOUT  HURRICANE WAS IN THE REPORT.  SO IF IF THE REPORT WAS DONE  IN 2024 HURRICANE IAN WAS IN  2022.  >> HOW DID THAT GET  >> UNFORTUNATELY, THE TIME WE  CONDUCTED THE ANALYSIS.  >> I TREAT THEY HAVE NOT  UPDATED THEIR AERIAL IMAGERY  THAT'S.  >> AVAILABLE FROM THEIR  SOFTWARE WHICH WE HAVE TO THE  LATEST. YEAR THE  LATEST DATA WAS FROM I BELIEVE  LATE 2022. AND THAT WAS JUST  TRY TO YOU SO THAT WAS THE  MOST RECENT THOSE THE MOST  RECENT LAYER THAT WE WE COULD  USE HOWEVER THEY'RE MOVING A  BIT HOWEVER THE ARE UPDATING  THEIR. IMAGE THERE. THERE  AERIALS SO I'M EXPECTING THAT.  HOPEFULLY. BY BY SOMETIME NEXT  YEAR I'M EXPECTING THAT THEY  WILL HAVE THAN YOU AERIALS  THAT WE CAN THEN USE WHERE OUR  NEXT ANALYSIS WHICH WILL THEN  INCLUDE IMPACTS  FROM YOU SO THE.  >> WILL OR A SCHOOL IMAGE,  WHATEVER THAT IS. WHEN WAS IT  LAST UPDATED I HEARD YOU SAY  LATE 2022 WAS IN SEPTEMBER OF  2022, SO IT WAS IT WAS PRIOR  TO IT WAS JUST PRIOR TO YOU  AND I I CAN LOOK INTO THAT BUT  IT WAS JUST PRIOR TO U N.  >> AND IT HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED  AS OF YET.  >> I NEED TO CHECK. THE LAST  WE USE THIS SOFTWARE THAT WAS  PACKING JU. AND AS VENUE WAS  NOT.  >> IT WOULD BE REALLY  INTERESTING YOU KNOW THIS  POINT IT IT SEEMS LIKE A. FOOD  OR ATTEMPT TO COMPARE AFTER  IAN, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS  PENDING STORM. IT WOULD BE  REALLY INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT  IT WOULD LOOK LIKE FROM THE  IMAGERY OF 2022 COMPARED TO  WHAT THE IMAGERY IS AFTER THIS  STORM AND MAKE SURE THAT THOSE  DAY TO REALLY NOTATED ON THE  REASON FOR THAT BECAUSE WHILE  WE ARE SEEN THIS REPORT IS  2024.  >> NOT KNOWING THAT IT WAS  USING IMAGERY FROM PRIOR TO  IAN. I'M REALLY CHANGES THINGS  IN SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. HELP  ME UNDERSTAND. HOW DOES THE  IMAGE DETERMINE IF A TREE IS  OVER AND YOU'RE LOOKING DOWN  FROM THE GROUND HOW DOES THE  IMAGE DETERMINE IT IS A 10  FOOT TALL TREE 35 CHANGE. HOW  WAS THAT DETERMINATION MADE  BECAUSE IF YOU'RE LOOKING  DOWN.  >> YOU CAN'T REALLY SO FOR OUR  FOR OUR RESEARCH SARASOTA  COUNTY THEY USED THE SAME  METHODOLOGY.  >> ANY IMAGE OVER A TREE.  >> THAT MAY OR MAY NOT TALLER  THAN  >> ANY OF THESE POINTS. WHAT  STILL CLASSIFIED AS EAT RECANT  I MENTIONED FDACS STUDY IT WAS  DONE. USING THAT LIDER  CAPABILITIES SO THEY'RE  THEY'RE ABLE TO DETERMINE  WHETHER A TREES OVER 10 FEET.  IN HEIGHT OR NOT WE FOR FOR  THE SAKE OF ALL RESEARCH.  WE'RE CLEAR WE'RE CLASSIFYING  COUNTRY. WE INCLUDED UNDER THE  CANOPY CATEGORY. SO 4 OUR  RESEARCH WE ARE NOT DOING THAT  WE ARE NOT THAT THERE ARE MANY  DIFFERENT TREES OVER 10 FEET  OR NOT.  THEY ARE DOING SO THIS IS THE  FIGURE THAT THEY CAME UP WITH  USING THAT LATER LIED OR  CAPABILITY AS MENTIONED  EARLIER WE DON'T HAVE THAT. WE  ARE STRICTLY. USING USING THE  VISUAL DETERMINATION THAT IF  THAT EXCEED THAT CROSS HERE IS  OVER A TREE. WE CONSIDER THAT  A SO WE MIMIC EXACTLY THE SAME  PROCEDURE AS SARASOTA COUNTY.  SO WE THAT APPROACH. AS  MENTIONED ENTITIES THEY THEY  HAVE AND THAT ANYTHING UNDER  FEET SHOULD NOT BE COUNTED.  ITS CANOPY COVERAGE WEEK WHICH  I PERSONALLY I DISAGREE WITH.  >> THAT ONE MORE TIME THAT I  FORGOT THAT LAST PART I  PERSONALLY DISAGREE THAT A  TREE THAT'S 9 9 FEET HIGH.  >> 9 FEET TALL SHOULD NOT BE  COUNTED IS TREE. I PERSONALLY  THINK THAT. IT'S STILL  HISTORY. IT STILL HAS NEED  STILL. PROVIDE SHADE SO COULD  GROW NEEDS GOING MOST  IMPORTANTLY. SO THIS WAS VAX  APPROACH WE WENT WITH THE  SARASOTA COUNTY ROACH WE FELT  THAT WERE CLOSELY ALIGNED TO  UP TOWARDS THAT APPROACH ANY  PROVIDES THE FLEXIBILITY OF.  DOING THIS STUDY AS OFTEN AS  WE WOULD LIKE AS LONG AS THAT  AERIAL IS UPDATED. WE CAN  CONDUCT THIS STUDY. AS OFTEN  AS WE WOULD LIKE YOU REALLY  GIVES US THE FLEXIBILITY AND  IF I MAY MENTION WORKING  THROUGH THIRD-PARTY VENDORS.  WE WERE SHOCKED BY THE  ASTRONOMICAL HOLDS THAT WE  WERE GIVEN FEW OF THESE  BUSINESSES THEY QUOTED US IT  20,000 15 TO 20,000 OF THAT  FROM WEST GAME. THE PART THAT  REALLY SHOCKED THIS IS THAT  MANY OF THEM SEEK THAT  SUBSCRIPTION BASE. A MODEL  WHERE WE WHAT ANOTHER 5,000 OR  6,000 EVERY YEAR TO JUST USE  THAT DATE WHICH WE ALREADY  PAID FOR THE INITIAL STUDY. SO  THIS IS WHAT REALLY PUSHED US  AWAY I'M GOING WITH THIS WITH  WITH THIS WITH THESE PRIVATE A  PRIVATE COMPANIES WE WERE  REALLY DISCOURAGED, BUT I WILL  BE SO IS.  >> AS FAR COURTS BY THANK YOU  FOR WATCHING OUT FOR THE  TAXPAYERS WITH THAT I DO HAVE  JUST A FEW MORE QUESTIONS AND  THAT AND I THINK THEY'RE  RELATIVELY QUICK. I SAW IN  YOUR REPORT AND ON THE POWER  POINT TO SOMETHING CALLED  STANDARD ERROR. WHAT IS THAT.  >> RIGHT SO THIS IS. LET'S SAY  THIS FROM STATISTICS FROM. THE  STATISTICAL ANALYSIS I AND SO  TO SPEAK. WHERE YOU HAVE DATA  POINTS. LET'S SAY YOU MAY HAVE  A ROOM WITH 1000 PEOPLE IN THE  ROOM.  >> MAYBE  >> 4400 600 OR WHEN. IF YOU  TAKE A SAMPLE OF LET'S SEE IF  YOU THINK SAMPLE OF 2 PEOPLE  RANDOMLY FROM THIS ROOM.  YOU MAY HAVE. LET'S SAY YOU  MAY HAVE ONE WOMAN WON'T. IN  THIS CASE. YOU WOULD THINK  THAT YOU ARE OUR RESULTS SHOW.  YOUR SAMPLE FROM THE ENTIRE  GROUP SHOWS 50% OF EACH. THE  WATER SAMPLES THE LESS THAT  PROBABILITY OF ERROR FOR THE  ENTIRE POPULATION BECOMES. SO  LET'S SAY IF YOU THINK. FROM  THIS ROOM WITH 1000 PEOPLE.  SAMPLE THINK OR SAMPLE OF 100  THE MORE THE HIGHER THE SAMPLE  THE LOWER THE STANDARD ERROR  BECOMES WHICH INCREASES THE  ACCURACY OF YOUR FINDINGS SO  OR LET'S SAY OUR COVERAGE. IF  WE WANT IF THEY CAN ONLY 10  POINTS RIGHT THAT STANDARD  ERROR WOULD BE ASTRONOMICALLY  HIGH TO WHERE OUR DATA BECOMES  INVALID. SOMETHING LIKE 30%  LET'S SEE. THIS IS BAD DAY.  BUT THE MORE SAMPLE THE MORE  SAMPLES YOUTH ATE. THE LOWER  THAT STANDARD STANDARD ERROR  BECOMES AND THE BETTER THE  PROBABILITY OF. PERFECT  ACCURACY BECOMES.  >> SO I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND  NOW WHAT THAT IS THANK YOU I  KIND OF EQUATE THAT FROM YOUR  EXPLANATION TO THOSE POLITICAL  HOLES LATER HAPPEN WHERE THEY  SAY WE SAMPLED 200 PEOPLE  WE'VE GOT HOW MANY MILLIONS OF  PEOPLE IN THIS CITY THANK YOU  FOR THAT THEORY THEY SAMPLE  THAT THEY'LL BE PRETTY CLOSE  DATA. THAT'S THAT'S A GREAT  ANALOGY. SOON WHEN YOU USE  YOUR DATA POINTS THAT YOU USED  IN THIS STUDY ITS ASSUMPTION  THAT USED THE EXACT SAME DATA  POINTS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE  STUDY.  >> THE CORRECT OKAY BEING  WHICH ARE RANDOMLY GENERATED  RIGHT. SO THERE'S RAIN ONLY  GENERATED DATA POINTS.  >> THOSE EXACT SAME DATA  POINTS GOING TO BE USED FOR  THE NEXT STUDY OR ARE THEY  GOING TO BE NEW WHAT I'M  TRYING TO GET IS LIKE A LITTLE  BIT OF A CONSISTENCY PICTURE  TO SEE HOW MUCH IT'S CHANGED  OVER TIME.  >> THERE'S NO NEED TO DO THE  EXACT LOCATION BECAUSE IS YOU  CREATE NEW  RANDOM POINTS IS AND IS  REPLICATE THE SAME A SAMPLE  SIZE OF LET'S SAY 1000 POINTS  LIKE IN THIS CASE. THE RESULT  SHOULD BE. WHITE ACCURATE  WITHIN THAT MARGIN OF ERROR I  MENTIONED EARLIER SO THE  POINTS WILL BE DIFFERENT.  HOWEVER IF IF YOU REPLICATE  THAT. 1000 TIMES. IT'S AMAZING  HOW YOU START SEEING THE  RESULT BECOMING WHITE SIMILAR.  SO JUST FOR JUST AS AN EXAMPLE  IF. I THINK THIS ONE AREA. AND  IF WE DO. 1000 POINTS. WE'LL  GET OUR SET OF DATA. LET'S SAY  IN A WEEK FROM NOW. I DO  ANOTHER 1000 RANDOM POINTS.  YOU'LL START SEEING THE  RESULTS BEING. SIMILAR EVEN  THOUGH THEY'RE RANDOM THERE'S  SO MANY OF THESE POINTS THAT  THEY PROVIDE SOME FAIRLY  ACCURATE REPRESENTATION OF  WHAT HEALTH CARE AND  >> IT WAS REALLY COOL SEEING  THE ORANGE HAMMOCK AND MYAKKA  STATE FOREST THAT TYPOGRAPHY  OF THE BARE LAND AND REALLY  DENSE CANOPY COVERAGE THAT WAS  REALLY COOL AND THEN YOU  COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE  CITY AND ITS LIKE ALL THESE  CHEESES LIKE THAT'S NOT HOW.  >> THE.  >> UNTOUCHED VIRGIN LAND IS  REALLY DESIGNED SO I HAVE TO  WONDER IF. WHILE YES WE NEED  TO PLANT TREES USING MAYOR  WHITES, RIGHT CHERRY RIGHT  PLACE YOU HAVE TO WONDER IF  MAYBE WHERE WE ARE PLANTING  THE TREES REALLY NOT WHERE IT  SHOULD BE. WETLANDS AND STUFF  WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY FINAL  THE WETLANDS YOU SAID THAT  NATURAL GROUND COVER INCLUDING  WETLAND SHOULD ALSO PLAYS A  VITAL ROLE AND IMPORTANCE AND  SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED. THE  CITY HAD A LOT OF WETLAND  AREAS AND THOSE WETLANDS HAVE  BEEN MITIGATED WHICH WE HAVE  SINCE LEARNED IS MITIGATING  WETLANDS. FILLS THEM IN. OR  CHANGES THAT FLOW. THAT COULD  BE COUNTERINTUITIVE TO OUR  STORM WATER AND IT COULD BE  HARMFUL. AND WHEN EVERY TIME  WHEN I SEE DEVELOPERS WANTING  TO MITIGATE OUR WETLANDS AND  FILL THEM IN OR PAY INTO A  BANK. IT'S REALLY HARMING OUR  CITY AND. I JUST WANT TO THROW  THAT OUT THERE BECAUSE  WETLANDS ARE JUST FULL OF  WATER THEY DO HAVE THAT GROUND  COVER THEY DO HAVE SOME TYPE  TREES THAT ABSORB THOSE THINGS  SO I REALLY HOPE THAT WE START  REALLY PAYING ATTENTION TO  PROTECTING OUR WETLANDS  INSTEAD OF FILLING THEM IN.  THAT'S ALL I HAVE AND YOU DID  A GREAT THANK YOU VERY VERY  MUCH TO YOU AND YOUR STAFF.  >> IF I MAY ADDRESS THAT THAT  IS AN EXTREMELY BROAD COMMENT  AND THAT PLAYS INTO THE  CONTEXT, SENSITIVE DESIGN THAT  WE BUILT INTO THE NEW ULDC.  NOW RATHER THAN A DEVELOPER  ASSUMING THAT THEY CAN JUST  MITIGATE THEIR WETLANDS AND  PAVE OVER ALL OF IT. THEY WILL  HAVE TO PROVIDE. TOPO AND THE  WETLAND SURVEY AHEAD OF TIME  AND DESIGNED THEIR SITE AROUND  THOSE AREAS. WE'RE NOT SAYING  THAT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT  WETLANDS WILL NEVER BE  MITIGATED AGAIN WITH COURT  THAT'S SIMPLY NOT REALISTIC  BUT THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO  DESIGN THEIR SIGHTS TAKING  THOSE AREAS INTO CONSIDERATION  RATHER THAN WHAT THE PREVIOUS  PRACTICES BEEN JUST USING A  FOUNDRY SURVEY AND PUTTING THE  THEIR THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE  WHEREVER THEY WANT IT  REGARDLESS. WE NEED DISSIPATE  BIG SHIFT.  >> I THINK WHAT LANDS REALLY  CAME TO MY. GLARING RED BEGAN  LIGHT WHEN THE TOLEDO 3.20  WHEN THEY WERE GOING CUT A  WETLAND HALF AND BUILD HALF  AND THEY'VE THE OTHER ASSETS  LIKE HOW DO YOU DO THAT SO I  MEAN I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN  SENSITIVE TO WEAPONS BUT THAT  ONE JUST REALLY JUST LAYERED  HOW CAN WE DO THIS AND HOW CAN  WE PREVENT SO.  >> WE HAVE A WE HAVE A NATURAL  RESOURCES TO TAKE TEAM THAT IS  FOR WELL VERSED IN WETLANDS  AND WETLAND IMPACTS AND  WETLAND MITIGATION SO WE ARE  FORTUNATE THAT WE HAVE THEIR  EXPERTISE NOW TO RELY FOR  GREAT PRESENTATION AGAIN THANK  YOU I DIRECTOR ED BEFORE YOU  GO HAD A FOLLOW-UP  COMMISSIONER MCDOWELL US.  >> POINT SOUTH SWIFT MY  DOESN'T HAVE THE FINAL SAY,  BUT RIGHT WHAT THEY SAY IS  EVER THE POSSIBILITY THAT A  DEVELOPER SAY LOOK SO I SAID  WE CAN.  >> SO IS THAT THAT DOESN'T  MEAN THAT THEY CAN VIOLATE OUR  CUTS. ADDITIONALLY THERE SOME.  THERE THERE'S SOME UNCERTAINTY  WITH THE PERMITTING PROCESS  FOR WETLANDS BECAUSE. THE  STATE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN  GIVEN AUTHORITY TO PERMIT  WETLANDS FEDERAL COURT HAS NOW  SAID THAT THAT WAS DONE IN  ERROR. SO NOW THE  ♪ ARMY OR IS BACK TO MAY HAVE  DIFFERENT CRITERIA AND  DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS. WE  DON'T KNOW HOW THAT COURT  BATTLE IS GOING OKAY FINALLY  PLAY OUT  ♪ OR WHEN IT WILL COME TO A  CONCLUSION. IT COULD BE THAT  ARM. REMAINS IN CONTROL OF  PERMITTING OR A QUARTER SAY  THAT IT CAN GO BACK TO THE  STATE ROUTE WE SIMPLY DON'T  KNOW HOWEVER THEY STILL HAVE  TO COMPLY WITH OUR CODE IT'S  OKAY.  >> ALL RIGHT ANY FINALLY AT  WHAT DIRECTOR WRAY HAS  >> SO.  >> WHETHER FEDERAL STATE OR  LOCAL I THINK EACH OF AGENCIES  AND GOVERNMENT BODIES AGREE  THAT THE APPROACH WOULD  WETLAND SHOULD BE AVOIDANCE.  MINIMIZE STATION OF THE IMPACT  AND FINALLY MITIGATION AS  COMMISSIONER MCDOWELL  MENTIONS. MITIGATIONS SHOULD  BE THE LAST RESORT. IT'S NOT  LIKE FOR LIKE BECAUSE MANY OF  THESE MITIGATION BANKS FOR  EXAMPLE, THEY CREATE NEW  WETLANDS  IN UNITS. CHANGE THE ELEVATION  OF AN AREA TO ARTIFICIALLY  CREATE THE WETLAND AND THIS  WOULD BE IDENTICAL TO CREATING  A FORCE YOU CAN.  >> LANDING A BUNCH OF TRIESTE  TOGETHER BUT YOU WILL TAKE A  VERY LONG TIME FOR THAT  ECOSYSTEM TO ACT LIKE MATURE  WELL ESTABLISHED FOR US. SAME  CALL SET WITH WETLANDS.  >> THEY ARE REALLY A LOCAL  TREASURE AND AVOIDING THEM YOU  KNOW WE'RE UP AND BEING IN A  NOW SUPPORTED BY THE NEW  UNIFIED LAND DEVELOPMENT  SHOULD BE. A PRIORITY.  >> RIGHT AND ADDITIONALLY  WETLANDS IN NORTH PORT AND  PROVIDING MAKE MITIGATION  CREDITS AND A MITIGATION BANK  ELSEWHERE DOESN'T HELP NORTH  SO OUR WETLANDS OUR OUR  CRITICAL PART OF  >> WATERSHED AND THEY ARE A  CRITICAL PART IN PROTECTING  OUR RESIDENTS FROM. WATER.  IMPACT SO.  >> THE WE.  >> ARE ABLE TO. DIRECT  DEVELOPMENT TO AVOIDANCE  RATHER THAN. IN THE PAST.  THEIR FIRST. OPTIONS FOR  DEVELOPERS HAS BEEN  MITIGATION.  ♪ THAT'S BEEN THE FIRST TRUCK  AND WE ARE REVERSING IT WON'T  BE AND IN CASES BUT FOR THE  LONG-TERM HEALTH  ♪ OF THE.  >> AND THE IT'S IT IS  IMPORTANT. OKAY BUT THAT WAS  THAT'S WHAT WITH HIM. BUT  MIGHT HAVE  A NET. YEAH WAS FOR THE WHOLE  STATE YES, BOY WAS YEAH, I  DIDN'T CONSIDER MICRO EFFECTS  YOU KNOW ON NORTH AND THAT'S  CHANGED THAT'S NOT WAS NOT ON  THE STATE OR FEDERAL LEVEL  KNOW THEY ARE STILL USING  THOSE.  >> MITIGATION BANKS WHERE IF  THEY MITIGATE A WETLAND YEAR.  NOT GOING TO BENEFIT US RIGHT  IT WILL CREATE A MITIGATIONS  SOMEWHERE ELSE OKAY. OUR CODE  HOWEVER. REQUIRES OR OR WITH  THE CONTEXT SENSITIVE DESIGN.  WE CAN STRONGLY ENCOURAGE  UNTIL 23 7 WHEN THE. PIRES.  >> SO YOU HAVE TO MAKE  AVOIDANCE THE NUMBER ONE  PRIORITY. SO THAT'S WHAT WE  WILL WORKING TOWARD ALL RIGHT.  THANK YOU.  >> AND BEFORE WE GET MIKE HAVE  TO HAVE A PAUSE AND ARE AT.  >> IS THAT TURNED TO I WANT A  JUROR IN THIS WHAT WE HAVE TO  GET TO OUR EMERGENCY JUST TAKE  A RECESS AND THEN WE'LL COME  BACK AFTER THE EMERGENCY  MEETING.  >> ALL RECESS FIRMLY SET FROM  THIS ONE. WE'LL GO INTO  SPECIAL THE EMERGENCY RIGHT  THAT'S SOMETHING THE GAL OR  JUST SAY TAKE A RECESS JUST  TAKE A RECESS AND THEN YOU CAN  CALL OR THE NEW MEANING ALL  RIGHT SO TAKE A RECESS FROM  THIS MEETING.

SO THE MEETING IN THE  MORNING IS NOT A THREAT PER SE  BUT JUST ONE OF THE BOARD FOR  YOU TO SOME INDOOR ALL OF THE  ITEMS TO A DIFFERENT WEEKEND.  THE COUNTY IS DOING SHORT LIST  OF ITEMS THAT. PROVE UP  WITHOUT ESSENTIALLY HAVING  PUBLIC HEARINGS MAY BE YOUR  SECOND READINGS ARE DIFFERENT  ITEMS THAT. DON'T GENERATE  WHAT WE WOULD CALL THE HOW  COME WE DON'T WANT TO  ENCOURAGE THE PUBLIC TO COME  OUT DURING 2 OF THESE  MEETINGS. SO MAY REMEMBER WE  HAD A PRESENTATION ON OUR  AGENDA FOR A PERFORMANCE.  THAT'S WHERE MANAGEMENT. SO WE  TOOK THAT OFF. TALK TO GAYLE  WEST AT THE PARK CENTER'S HE  SAID YOU KNOW, SHE'S  EVACUATED. SO WE NOTED THAT  OFF SO WE GET BIG ACHIEVEMENT  DOWN QUITE A BIT IT IS THE  WILL OF THE BOARD TO HAVE  THOSE ITEMS TO BE DISCUSSED  VERY BRIEFLY. I WOULD IMAGINE  YOU WOULD HAVE NOTHING MORE  THAN AN HOUR OF THE MEETING IF  YOU DECIDE TO HAVE IT BUT  WE'RE HAPPY TO DO WHATEVER THE  WILL OF THE BOARD IS BUT. AS  OF RIGHT NOW WE HAVE NOT  DECIDED TO CLOSE THE CITY FOR  TOMORROW BUT I FEEL LIKE WE'RE  HEADED IN THAT DIRECTION,  ESPECIALLY FOR THE EVENING  LATE AFTERNOON.  >> OKAY, SO WE CHANGED THE  AGENDA TOMORROW IS THAT WHEN  WE WOULD HAVE TO MAKE MOTIONS  TO I THINK I HAVE TO ASK MY  FRIENDS IN THE CLERK'S OFFICE  GUIDE US HOW WE DO REMOVE  THOSE ITEMS THAT WE WOULD SORT  OF COME IN WITH A PLAN TO SAY  THESE ARE THE ONES THAT WE'RE  GOING TO ALLOW YOU TO.  >> TALK ABOUT AND YOU KNOW THE  ONES WE WOULD JUST WANT TO  DEFER TO A BETTER DAY. OKAY.  >> SURE YOU KNOW, YEAH, I'M  JUST I HAVEN'T SEEN THE  WEATHER PROJECTIONS FOR RAIN  FOR TODAY. AS ANYBODY HAVE ANY  IDEAS HOW MUCH RAIN WE'RE  SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING TODAY  POSSIBLY OVERNIGHT AND THE  ONLY REASON WHY I'M ASKING  THOSE QUESTIONS IS. THE GROUND  IS SO SATURATED AND I KNOW  SOME OF THE ROADS EVEN LAST  NIGHT HAD CONSIDERABLE PONDING  ON THEM. IT'S IF WE GET A LOT  OF WRITING. ARE WE EXPECTED A  LOT OF I WOULD HATE TO HAVE  EVERYBODY TRYING TO COME TO A  MEETING. IF THE CONDITIONS  DON'T WARRANT ALL.  >> YOU WERE TO COME OUT LOOK  THE REPORTS ABOUT SO WE THINK  ABOUT TODAY BUT IT GOT TIMES  FROM FIRE RESCUE DISTRICT SO.  WE BEGIN TO WHAT I WILL SAY IS  AHEAD OF THE STORM. HERE'S OUR  TRUMP. THE MOVEMENT THAT THESE  NUMBERS RIGHT SO WE EXPECT TO  GET AT LEAST A COUPLE WHICH IS  TALENT ON THERE COULD BE MORE  COULD BE LESS JUST HAD KIND  COMES AS YOU KNOW THROUGH THE  CITY COUNCIL BECAUSE WE GET  STREET FLOODING OTHERS. THINK  SO. I WOULD SAY AT THIS POINT  MOST EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE  DOING TRYING TO ERR ON THE  SIDE OF HAVE SOME YEAH, I  THINK THERE WILL BE SOME  ACCESS. LETS PEOPLE WE COULD  HAVE ON THE ROADS. OUR  CONCENTRATION RIGHT NOW CITY  MANAGER SAID IT BEST IS TO NOT  HEARST PUBLIC TO BE SHOULD BE  ENCOURAGED THEM TO PREPARED  EVACUATE THROUGH THOSE  >> IN LIGHT OF STAFF HAVING TO  GET READY FOR THE STORM AND  MOBILIZE NOT ONLY THEIR OWN  PERSONAL HOMES, BUT WAS FOR  THE SITTING.  >> EVEN HOUR-LONG MEETING I I  DON'T KNOW IF THAT.  >> WOULD BE. I'M LEANING ON  THE SIDE OF CAUTION AND JUST  SAYING HEY CAN WE JUST  RESCHEDULE THE MEETING NOBODY  HAS TO WORRY ABOUT IT YOU GUYS  CAN FOCUS ON WHAT YOU TRULY  NEED TO HAVE  >> BUT THAT AND THAT'S KIND OF  WHAT I THINK CITY MANAGERS  LOOKING FOR FROM THE  COMMISSION IS DO WE REALLY  TRULY FEEL WE NEED TO HAVE  THIS MEETING TOMORROW OR  SHOULD WE JUST POSTPONE THE  MEETING CANCELED THE MEETING  TO ANOTHER HE ALREADY SAID  THERE WASN'T THAT MUCH STUFF  ON THERE THAT WAS TIME  SENSITIVE AND THAT'S THE WORD  GOING TO USE OKAY CITY MANAGER  YEAH I DON'T REALLY.  >> THERE'S ANYTHING ON THERE  THIS TIME SINCE THEY CAN'T  WAIT TO NEXT WEEK. ADDITION TO  NOT WARNING PEOPLE TO BE OUT  ON THE ROAD. WE DO WANT TO BE  SECOND GUESSED BY SOMEONE  SAYING WELL, YOU KNOW THE  CONDITIONS WERE BAD AND YOU  HAD TO STOP IT ANYWAY. I WAS  GOING TO SPEAK ON THIS TOPIC  SPECIFICALLY SO TO AVOID THAT  AS WELL I THINK THAT THERE  COULD BE A TIME THAT WE CAN  WORK THAT THE A CLERK'S OFFICE  IN THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE  TO FIND. TIME FOR US TO ME YOU  KNOW MEET ON THE 20 SECONDS ON  NEXT WEEK WOULD JUST BE YOU  KNOW THAT WE CAN FOR IT WE  WERE JUST SORT COMPRESSED  THOSE 2 MEETINGS TOGETHER BUT  BASED ON ITEMS THAT ARE ON THE  AGENDA IN THE TIME BRING THAT  THERE I DON'T THINK THAT  THERE'S ANYTHING THAT'S GOING  HARM FOR BEING ABLE TO MOVE  MEETING. AS THE COMMISSIONERS  SAID OUT OF RESPECT FOR  CAUTION.  >> I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION  BUT BEFORE I DO IF I ASK  EITHER CITY ATTORNEY OR  ASSISTANT CITY CLERK. SINCE  THE AGENDA HAS POSTED AND WE  ARE WITHIN 24 HOURS. WOULD WE  BE CANCELING TOMORROW'S  MEETING OR WOULD WE BE PUB,  WHAT IS THE OFFICIAL WORD  CANCELING POSTPONING. HOW DOES  THAT LOOK. I THINK WE ALL  UNDERSTAND THE INTENT HERE OF  TO NOT DO TOMORROW'S MEETING,  I'M JUST LOOKING FOR THE  CORRECT TERMINOLOGY FOR THE  MOTION.  >> I WOULD SAY IF THE AGENDA  IS GOING TO REMAIN THE SAME  THE ITEMS ARE GOING OR REMAIN  THE SAME THE POSTPONING WOULD  BE FINE, BUT IF WE'RE GOING TO  REDO THE AGENDA AND ADD  ADDITIONAL ITEMS AND CANCELING  WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE  OKAY, SO NOW MY NEXT QUESTION  IS BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT WE HAVE  NOT MADE A MOTION TO ADOPT THE  LOCAL STATE OF EMERGENCY  SHOULD WE ADOPT A LOCAL STATE  OF EMERGENCY AND THEN MAKE  MOTION TO POSTPONE TOMORROW'S  MEETING, YES, OKAY.  >> THEY'RE KIND THEY'RE  THEY'RE  >> IT'S OUTSIDE OF THE WINDOW  OF THE VIEW OF OTHERS BUT CITY  MANAGERS TALKING WITH STAFF.  >> MY APOLOGIES. I DIDN'T HEAR  YOU ALWAYS SEEM, BUT. IF WE  WANT FROM THIS TUESDAY TO NEXT  TUESDAY TO 15 THAT WORKS FOR  EVERYONE THAT I THINK THAT  THAT WOULD ALLOW SOME OF THE.  CONCERNED ABOUT THE  ADVERTISING IT WOULD NOT TO  STAY CONSISTENT. I DON'T THINK  WE WOULD BE ADDING ANY ITEMS  TOO. THE AGENDA JUST SORT OF  KEEPING IT THE WAY THAT IT IS  BASED ON  >> SO.  >> OKAY, SO.  >> ONE THING I HAVE TO SAY IS  OUR SECOND READINGS WERE  ADVERTISED FOR TOMORROW.  >> SO I THINK THAT. WE  WOULDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME FOR  THE MEETING DEADLINES IF WE  WERE TO SCHEDULE LOOK FOR THE  15.  >> IF WE CONTINUE, BUT WE  CAN'T CONTINUE IT THIS MEETING  KENLEY.  >> WELL BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE  TO BE AT TOMORROW'S MEETING  CORRECT. JAIME SECOND READINGS  TO HAVE TO. A VERY HOT TOPIC.  AND THE CONCERN THAT CITY  MANAGER HAS PEOPLE ARE GOING  SAY THEY COULDN'T MAKE IT OUT  TO ADDRESS THAT DECLARING A  LOCAL STATE OF EMERGENCY FIRST  WOULD THAT. UNABLE US TO MAKE  A TIME CERTAIN. AND NOT LEGAL  ADVERTISEMENT.  >> THERE IS ANOTHER GOING ON.  >> CONFERRING WITH THE CITY  CLERK AS WELL TO SEE IF WE CAN  FIGURE SOMETHING OUT. THANK  YOU OKAY, SO WE SHOULD JUST GO  IN AND COMPLETE THIS TO  DECLARE A STATE OF EMERGENCY  SO WE GET THAT RIGHT MAKE A  MOTION A HEAD.  >> I MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT  ORDINANCE NUMBER 2, 0, 2, 4,  4, 1, DECLARING A LOCAL STATE  OF EMERGENCY FOR HURRICANE  MILTON AS PRESENTED.  >> WE HAVE A MOTION MADE BY  COMMISSIONER MCDOWELL TO ADOPT  ORDINANCE NUMBER 2024 DASH 41  PRESENTING RESENT IT WHICH IS  TO CLEARING A STATE OF  EMERGENCY DUE TO HURRICANE  NELSON AND THAT WAS. SECONDED  BY COMMISSIONER LANGDON.  >> IF THERE'S NOTHING ELSE.  LET'S FOE.  PASSES 5 TO 0 ANY  PUBLIC COMMENT. WE CAN TO  CHURN YET.

THAT WAS WHAT  WE'VE GOT TO DO. THAT IT. AND  IT CONFIDENT. ALL RIGHT DURING  SPECIAL EMERGENCY MEETING AT  1030.  ♪ AND THEN WE'RE BACK  ♪ RECESS. FOR OUR. REGULAR.  COMMISSION WORKSHOP 1031 AND  THE CONTINUING WITH.  QUESTIONS.  ♪ AND WE LEFT OFF WITH REMIND  WHY I'M GOING BUT IT WAS THE  LAST ONE THE TOP I WAS DONE  OKAY MCDOWELL,  ♪ THANK YOU. I JUST HAD SOME  QUESTIONS COMMENTS TO OF  COURSE YOU WOULD EXPECT THAT  FROM OKAY. I APPRECIATE  >> THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE  MYAKKA STATE FOREST OF THE  ARCH AMICK I PERSONALLY DON'T.  THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED AND  WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT URBAN  TREE CANOPY BECAUSE.  THEY'RE AREAS THAT PEOPLE  DON'T LIVE TO WORK AND PLAY.  THOSE AREAS I CONSIDER TO BE  ICING ON THE CAKE TO SPEAK BUT  THE CAKE IS WHERE HERE SO. I  DID HAVE QUESTIONS COULD AND  YOU BUT STEPHEN.  >> LINES BECAUSE YES, I  APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT WE  HAVE THOSE 2 BIG CHUNKS OF  LAND PROVIDING FOR. TREE  CANOPY.  ♪ ♪ I I REALLY WANT TO SEE A TREE  CANOPY HERE WHERE PEOPLE IN  OUR AREA SO WHEN YOU SAID THAT  THE POTENTIAL PLAN TO PULL  SPACE OF 48% DOES THAT. WHERE  WAS THAT DIRECTED AT AND THAT  INCLUDE THE BACK OF STATE FOR  US AND WE AREN'T HAVING. WHAT  WE WHY WOULD WE BE PLANTING  TREES IN THOSE AREAS.  >> SO WHEN YOU NEED LOOK BACK  AT THIS PIECE OF DATA IF I  RECALL CORRECTLY THAT THIS NOT  INCLUDE THE AREAS, HOWEVER I  WOULD LIKE TO VERIFY BE BEFORE  8. PROVIDE ANSWER. BUT I DO  RECALL THAT THERE'S AGAIN SOME  TYPE OF.  >> SOME TYPE OF MODEL SUCH  PLANTING A SPACE AND THAT'S  JUST A NONSPECIFIC. I PUT  FORMULA SO THAT. BY NO MEANS  IS AN ACCURATE REPRESENTATION  OF WHAT'S AVAILABLE OUT ALL  RIGHT.  >> BUT I WILL I TOOK THAT TO  MEAN THAT WE HAVE AREAS THAT  AND TREES AND THAT ALMOST HALF  OF OF OUR AREAS HERE I WANTED  TO CONCURRED THAT WE  ABSOLUTELY DO.  >> THANKFULLY.  >> THERE ARE SOME AREAS THAT  CERTAINLY CAN  >> ENHANCED AIMS.  >> THERE THERE ARE FEW  EXCITING PROJECTS THAT WE'RE  CURRENTLY WORKING ON. BUT  THAT'S THAT'S DEFINITELY THE  GOAL. ONE EXAMPLE ARE THE  >> WITH THE OF JOCKEY CLUB.  >> AND THERE ARE MANY MANY  THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THIS.  SOT IT'S AND FROM AN  ENVIRONMENTAL STANDPOINT. A  SOLID AREA IS LIKE AN  ECOLOGICAL DESERT AND  >> IF YOU ARE ABLE TO PLAN TO  RE WHILE THAT THESE AREAS THEN  THEY WILL BE THEY WILL SERVE A  MUCH BETTER PURPOSE, POWER  PLANTS AND ANIMALS AND OF  COURSE PROVIDE THE BEEN A  REALLY BIG PROPONENT ON STREET  TREES BECAUSE AGAIN THOSE 3  TREES ALONG STREETS BECAUSE  THAT'S WHERE PEOPLE ARE LIVING  IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND YOU  AND YOU WERE REFERRING TO  NEIGHBORHOOD BEFORE STATION  BECAUSE IT'S TAKEN AWAY.  >> DUE TO DEVELOPMENT AND  THERE'S NOTHING LEFT FOR  PEOPLE TO TO ENJOY. AND WHEN I  WOULD INQUIRE ABOUT THAT I WAS  I WAS ALWAYS TOLD WAIT UNTIL  THIS STUDY COMES BACK WELL,  HERE'S THE STUDY AND THAT'S  HOW I TOOK THAT NUMBER HAS.  >> POTENTIAL PLAN TO PULL  SPACE 48% THAT WE DO HAVE A  LOT OF AREAS THAT ARE TOTALLY  DEVOID OF ANYTHING IN. THAT  CAN YOU DO SOMETHING FOR  PEOPLE TO.  >> TO BECAUSE ONE I.  >> WE DID THOUGH STREET TREES  ON SOUTHWARD AND I WILL SEE  PEOPLE ENJOYING THAT DOING  WHAT YOU EXPECT PEOPLE TO DO  THAT JUST WALKED DOWN TO THE  TO THE MAIN ROAD THERE BUT  WHEN I DO I WANT GRANBURY  CHAMBERLAIN I'VE EVER REALLY  ANYBODY ON THOSE SIDEWALKS  BECAUSE IT'S TOO DARN HOT. SO,  HOPING THAT WE CAN DO GO IN  THAT DIRECTION FINALLY WITH  THAT AND THE SECOND THING IS I  I'M ASSUMING THIS TREE CANOPY  STUDY INCLUDED PALMS.  OBVIOUSLY BUT AGAIN I'M JUST  GOING PUT MY $0.2 IN THERE  THAT YOU KNOW PALMS ARE NOT  TREES.  >> THEY DON'T AND THEN AND  THIS WAS I REALLY APPRECIATED  THAT THE E AB EU'S CARBON  SEQUESTRATION TO THE ABILITY  TO TAKE IN CARBON DIOXIDE. AND  THAT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING  THAT MAKES THE BIG DIFFERENCE  BETWEEN A PALM AND A TREE.  THAT A AND OR 5 POUNDS OF  CARBON DIOXIDE YEAR BUT A  TREE. IT'S UP TO 60 POUNDS  THAT'S A BIG DIFFERENCE AND  ALSO THE FACT THAT RATES  PRODUCE WHAT IS PROOF THAT  WHAT THEY'RE IT'S A QUESTION  RING THAT CARBON WHEREAS.  DON'T PRODUCE WHAT. SO THAT'S  IT YOU KNOW NOT TO PUT NOT TO  PUT THE 2 IN THE SAME CATEGORY  THAT IS THERE IS A DIFFERENCE  BETWEEN PALMS AND TREES WHEN  WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CARBON  SEQUESTRATION SO I WANTED MY  BOARD MEMBERS KNOW THAT AS WE  TALKED ABOUT PEOPLE UTILITY  TAX AND HOUSE SHADED BY TREES  CAN REDUCE YOUR ENERGY BILLS.  I AS MUCH AS A 20%. BECAUSE IT  CAN REDUCE YOUR TEMPERATURE BY  AS MUCH AS 50 DEGREES AND THAT  MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE WHEN  OUR TEMPERATURES ARE A 100  DEGREES. OUTSIDE NOW AND  THAT'S BECOME THE NEW NORM.  WHEN YOU HAVE A HOUSE SHADED  BY TREES THAT MEANS YOU'RE  OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES CAN BE AS  COOL AS 85 DEGREES WHICH MEANS  IF YOU SET YOUR  AIR-CONDITIONER IT 75 AND ONLY  HAS TO GET DOWN 10 DEGREES.  WHEREAS IF YOU DON'T. AND IT'S  A 100 DEGREES THAT'S THAT'S A  25 DEGREE DIFFERENCE AND  THAT'S WHY PEOPLE ARE TELLING  ME THEIR ELECTRIC BILLS ARE  OUTRAGEOUS BECAUSE YES, YOU  HAVE NO SHAME. IT'S NOT JUST  THE SHADE ITSELF, BUT IT'S THE  COOLING. BENEFITS OF TREES  THAT THAT PEOPLE HAVE  REALIZED. SO THAT'S WHY AGAIN  WHY IT'S IMPORTANT HAVE TREES  ALONG STREETS, IT'S GOING TO  HELP REDUCE THE HEAT THAT'S  ALONG THE ROADS THE SIDEWALKS.  AND WHEN THAT. I WANT THAT.  >> ALL RIGHT SO I I'M JUST  LOOKING FORWARD TO SINCE  SEEING SOME TREES PLANTS AND  PEOPLE ASKING ABOUT THE TREES  THAT WE DID LOSE DURING IAN  3RD THEY WERE TAKEN AWAY. THEY  WANT KNOW WHEN THEY'RE BEING  REPLACED. AND I'M HOPING WE'RE  GOING TO HAVE WE HAVE A PLAN  FOR THAT TOO OR THEY GONE, AND  THEY'RE NOT COMING BACK I  DON'T KNOW HOW THAT IS WHAT  LONG CENTER THERE WAS SOME  FOLKS THAT WERE REMOVED IN.  THEY HAD SOME SUN SWAT AWAY  AND PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW IF  THEY'RE GOING TO BE REPLACED  AND LIKE TO GIVE THEM AN  ANSWER FOR THAT.  >> THANK THANK YOU. MAYOR, SO  WE HAVE A LOT OF EXCITING  PROJECTS THE MINES AND THE  GOAL IS TO SIMPLY. WITH TREES  IN THE GROUNDS AND OF COURSE  SOME OF THESE AREAS THAT HAVE  BEING IMPACTED BY. RECENT  STORM EVENTS WE WOULD LIKE TO  SEE TREES WHERE WE WERE THERE  WERE TREES IN THE PAST.  DEFINITELY THAT'S ON OUR  LISTS. EVER WE WANT TO MAKE  SURE THAT THESE TREES THE  SURVIVABILITY FACTOR IS OF  COURSE IN THEIR FAVOR. WE LOOK  AT OTHER THINGS SUCH  IRRIGATION AND WHETHER WE HAVE  THE RIGHT TREE IN THE RIGHT  PLACE SO. WE WE WANT TO ENSURE  THAT ANY TREATED WE PUTTING  THE GROUNDS WILL SURVIVE OR  LET'S SAY THE MAJORITY OF  THESE TREES DO SURVIVE AND ARE  ABLE TO MATURE FLOURISH.  >> IN  >> ABOUT WHAT YOU SAID  EARLIER. OF ALL THE OF OUR  CANOPY SPECIES, ESPECIALLY  MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT  THE WOULD MASSIVE A TREE.  THAT'S ACTUALLY 95%. I BELIEVE  HE'S ACTUALLY CARBON AND THAT  CARBON CAME FROM THE  ATMOSPHERE SO MOST PEOPLE  THINK THAT. YOU KNOW THAT MASK  COMES FROM FROM THE GROUND BUT  MOST OF THAT ACTUALLY COMES  FROM THE AIR WE BREATHE. SO  THERE ARE MANY IDEAS THERE ARE  MANY OPPORTUNITIES. THANKFULLY  WE'RE STILL FAIRLY YOUNG CITY  AND WEAKEN SHAPE IN A WAY THAT  WE CAN ENJOY BUT I FULLY  CONCUR WITH EVERYTHING YOU  MENTIONS OKAY.  >> THANK YOU MY  >> THIS IS WHAT THE CITY. THIS  IS GOING TO HELP THE CITY MAKE  A PLAN WHAT WE CAN DO. AS THE  CITY OF NORTH PORT BUT AGAIN I  AND LIKE TO SEE WHAT THE  RESIDENTS CAN DO TO. MAKEUP  MAKE PREPARATIONS FOR WHAT WAS  CLEARED OFF THEIR PROPERTY  WHEN THEY THEY BUILT THEIR  HOUSE AND. I KNOW THAT WAS OUR  ULDC PASSING UNFORTUNATELY WE  DO HAVE IT STARTING IN 2027  THAT WE'RE NOT GOING REQUIRE A  TREE OR SHRUB TO PLANTED ON  NEW HOME THAT IS AGAIN NOT  GOING TO. TOO MUCH DO ANYTHING  AND REDUCE REDUCING OUR CO 2  OUR TEMPERATURES. I'M HOPING  THAT THERE COULD BE POINT.  CHANGES TO THAT OR THE MESSAGE  OUT TO OUR RESIDENTS THAT YOU  YOU CAN DO SOMETHING TOO. TO  MITIGATE FOR. ARE HIGHER  TEMPERATURES PLANT A TREE IN  YOUR BACKYARD AND ACTUAL TREE.  NOT A TREE. YOUR BACKYARD.  THAT'S YEAH, THIS IS A  LONGTIME COMING AND I  APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS IN  GETTING THIS STUDY TOGETHER  COMMISSIONER MCDOWELL I JUST  WANTED TO KIND OF TOUCH BASE  ON WHAT.  >> SOME NEXT STEPS OR REMIND  OF PREVIOUS DIRECTIONS THAT  WERE GIVEN BY THE COMMISSION  AND SEE MAYBE WE CAN GET AN  UNDERSTANDING OF WE ARE IN  THAT I KNOW THAT WE IN THE CIP  SHEETS ADDED SOME  REFORESTATION THOSE KIND OF  PLANS. BUT THERE WERE POLICIES  THAT NEED TO BE IMPLEMENTED  FOR TREE GIVEAWAY PROGRAM.  THAT WE NEED TO HAVE A POLICY  BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST FOR  THAT'S TO BE GIVEN AWAY ON TO  BE USED ON PRIVATE PROPERTY.  WE ALSO GAVE DIRECTION FOR A  TREE PLANTING PLAN. AND THAT  HASN'T COME BACK TO US FOR  VETTING TO REALLY NAIL DOWN  WHAT THAT PLAN LOOKS LIKE. WE  ALSO TALKED ABOUT. AND  ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY  FEE. TO NOT JUST WITH TREES  BUT THE ENTIRE ENVIRONMENT  THAT DIRECTION WAS GIVEN NOT  ONCE BUT TWICE AND WE'RE STILL  WAITING FOR THAT ONE AND THEN  THE SCORE CARD AND I KNOW WE  BRIEFLY TALKED ABOUT THE SCORE  CARD. AND I THINK THE AD IS  GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT THAT  IN A FUTURE MEETING. SO SO  THOSE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE  HAVE TALKED ABOUT WE HAVE SAID  YES WE WANT TO DO. AND WE  REALLY DON'T KNOW WHERE WE ARE  IN THAT PROCESS. SO IF IF WE  COULD POSSIBLY GET UPDATE ON  THAT WOULD BE VERY HOPEFUL NOT  ONLY FOR US AS A BOARD BUT  ALSO THE CITIZENS ARE SAYING  HEY WHERE'S THE PLAN WAS TO  PLAN FOR PLANTING THOSE TREES  ON SOME DOORS, THE PLAN FOR  THEIR STREET WHERE IS THE PLAN  FOR GIVEAWAYS SO I'M JUST  SHARING THAT AND I LOOK  FORWARD TO HAVING THAT FUTURE  CONVERSATION. PREVIOUSLY  DIRECTED. THANK YOU.  >> THANK YOU, THANK YOU.  COMMISSIONER AMES, I WILL  PROVIDING UPDATES.  >> TO FALL.  >> 3 AND A HALF MONTHS OUR  URBAN FOREST THERE FINALLY  JOINED OUR TEAM HE'S. AND  NORTH EMPLOYEE HE WAS THE  ARBORISTS HERE IF MY MEMORY  SERVES ME CORRECTLY ABOUT 11  YEARS. AND HE'S QUITE PASSION.  IT QUITE IT JUST TO HIT THE  GROUND RUNNING ON US WITH SOME  OF THESE PROJECTS.  >> I I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE  SOME EXCITING THINGS LINED UP.  WE ARE TRYING TO RUN ALL THE  CONTINGENCY SCENARIOS SUCH AS  IRRIGATION WEATHER PATTERNS  ANY TREATED WE WANT TO PUTTING  THE GROUNDS. WE WANT TO MAKE  SURE THAT. IT'S NOT JUST TO  CREATE THIS PAUSE FOR A COUPLE  OF MONTHS AND THEN LOSE LOWS  THE TREE. WE WANT TO DO THINGS  LONG-TERM WE HAVE SOME  EXCITING IT WILL BE SHARING  CERTAINLY WITH THE COMMISSION.  AND THEY REGARDING THE  ENVIRONMENTAL SCORECARDS I  WANTED UPDATE YOUR THAT WE ARE  CURRENTLY WORKING ON THAT.  >> I HAVE I WILL BE  PRESENTING. SOME OF SOME OF  OUR THOUGHTS FRONT OF THE  ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY BOARD.  THAT THAT WILL BE CONDUCTED  DURING THE BE NEEDING.  >> MATTER FACTS. IT MEANT TO  TONIGHT, BUT WE'LL SEE HOW  THINGS WILL WITH THE STORM. SO  WE CAN FOLLOW-UP AMES. I ALSO  WANTED TO MENTION THAT WEIR'S  NOT ALL TRACKING. AND  QUANTIFYING OUR PROGRESS AS A  DIVISION ON A MONTHLY BASIS IN  THE DAY TO EASE AVAILABLE  PERTAINING TO TREE GIVEAWAY.  LISTED ADDRESSED. GOPHER  TORTOISE SIGNS AND MANY OTHER  MANY OTHER FACTORS. WE ARE  CURRENTLY WORKING ON AND NOW  WE CAN ACTUALLY ONE OF 5  BILLS. BUT A HUGE HUGE PART OF  WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS PUT  TREES IN THE GROUNDS WE NEEDS  SHOW OUR CITIZENS THAT. WHERE  THE VISION THAT CARES SAYING  WANT TO RE WHILE SOME OF THESE  AREAS. SO THAT'S CERTAINLY ON  THE LIST.  >> ALL RIGHT, JUST YES, GO  AHEAD VERY QUICK. THE TREE  GIVEAWAY HOW ARE YOU WANT TO  FIND SOMETHING THAT WE HAVEN'T  AND THE  >> WE  >> DONATING. WE ARE DONATING  SAPLINGS TO THE TO LET'S GO TO  YES, MA'AM I'M SO IT'S. I  DIRECT YOUR DEVELOPMENT  SERVICES.  >> GIVEAWAYS HAPPENS IS IS  SUCH SMALL-DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT  WE DON'T NEED A POLICY FROM  THE COMMISSION TO DO THAT JUST  AS WE DON'T NEED A POLICY  GIVEAWAY NO PADS AND. A  VARIETY OF OTHER THINGS  T-SHIRTS AND ALL SORTS OF  THINGS THAT HARKSEN. PUBLIC  WORKS UTILITIES AND EVERYONE  GIVES AWAY AND I SO DISAGREE  WITH THAT, BUT WHEN I'M  HEARING SAMPLINGS IN KNOWING  THAT WE NEEDED TO DO A POLICY  AND GIVING THOSE THINGS AWAY.  >> FOR LARGER PROGRAM IS  REALLY WHAT WE WERE TALKING  ABOUT AS FAR AS A POLICY. THAT  WOULD BE A LARGER PROGRAM.  WE'RE GIVING WAY LARGER  TREASON AND I'M PUTTING  SOMETHING IN INTO PLACE LIKE  THAT THIS IS JUST LIKE WE GIVE  AWAY TRASH SEASON. YOU KNOW.  >> STRESS ***** T-SHIRTS AND  THINGS LIKE THAT DIFFERENT  EVENTS AND IF I'M A SPACE LIKE  COMMISSIONER,  >> IN MANY CASES LET'S 3  GALLONS SLASH ON THE COSTS  THESE. LESS THAN $15.  >> AND IT'S THE.  >> THE QUANTITY AGAIN WE'RE  TALKING SO IT'S SOMETHING  WE'RE DEFINITELY NOT TALKING  ABOUT. LARGER TREES, THANK YOU  SO.  >> YOU GET COMMISSIONER, IT  YEAH AND THANK YOU  COMMISSIONER BRINGING UP THOSE  THOSE.  >> ITEMS, YES, ESPECIALLY THE  TREE GIVEAWAY WE WERE TAUGHT  WE HAD DISCUSSIONS COMING BACK  WITH A POLICY THAT'S A SIMILAR  TO WHAT VENICE SARASOTA EVEN  NOW I READ PENTAGON AND THOSE  ARE BIG TREES THAT THEY'RE  LIKE THAT THEY HAVE TO COME IN  MY 45 GALLON BUCKETS  CONTAINERS BECAUSE THAT IS  EXPENSIVE AND ALSO THERE'S A  WHOLE LOT INVOLVED ABOUT  TAKING CARE OF IT AND WHERE  IT'S GOING COME TO SO THERE'S  A LOT OF MOVING PARTS WITH  THAT SO. I'M HOPING THAT STILL  IN THE WORKS SOMEWHERE BUT I  WILL CHIEF AFTER THAT SAID TO  HAVE THAT FLASH BUT I DO  UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING  SAPLINGS ARE JUST.  >> I MEAN IT'S LITTLE LITTLE  THINGS.  >> I THINK I SEE NOTHING ELSE  HERE SO PUBLIC COMMENT.  >> YES, MA'AM ROBINSON SENT  COMMENT. JUST A SHOCK TO STEP  ONTO THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT  WENT INTO THIS ASSESSMENT.  THIS IS A HUGE STEP IN  UNDERSTANDING WHERE WE ARE AT  THIS POINT IN TIME. WHAT WE  NEED TO BE DOING AND WHERE WE  NEED TO BE THANK YOU. AND THAT  IS ALL.  >> OK AND BEFORE A BECAUSE I  FORGOT TO MENTION THAT WITH  THE STORM COMING THERE'S A  GREAT WEB SITE AND I THINK  IT'S CALLED WHAT IS MY  ELEVATION YOU CAN ACTUALLY  FIND OUT THE ELEVATION OF YOUR  YOUR HOUSE BECAUSE I'VE HAD  PEOPLE CALLING ME IT AND WE  EVEN KNOW HOW HIGH THEIR HOUSE  IT'S A VOTE FOR SEA LEVEL SO  IT'S A GREAT WAY TO FIND OUT  EXACTLY HOW HIGH YOU ARE SO  WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT STORM  SURGE YOU CAN KNOW WHAT'S  GOING TO BE INVOLVED SO. I'M  JUST ANOTHER SOURCE OF  INFORMATION AND SO THERE'S  NOTHING ELSE ALL RIGHT. I  THINK WE'RE 50 AND I DURING  THIS
