some maintenance on an area that's adjacent to four roots I share that to say that four roots is going to be open up pretty soon so you guys get ready uh we're getting ready to have a state-of-the-art u Urban farming um facility in town and I think we'll bring a lot of excitement to our community uh and that's all I have mayor thank you very much thank you commissioner commissioner shien thank you mayor council and uh as it's already been mentioned but I've been a seasoned ticket holder from The Pride since day one proud Go Girls you know I believe in supporting women's sports and I was delighted to see that we had five players at the Olympics four were on Brazil and one was on the USA team and uh talk about divided Allegiance I really wanted Marty to win but I wanted the USA to win so it was a it was a rough game for me CU I was screaming for both teams but uh good job everyone and Marta we love you we wish you would have gotten that gold even though I know I'm not supposed to root against the USA but it was a great game and we hard fought and and congratulations to all the pride players you all have a lot to be proud of and they are doing amazingly well they are number one now and so if you have not come to see an Orlando of Pride game come on out cuz they're amazing we supported before they were good well they're always good but we were supporting before they won and uh you know we want we want you to get out to a pride game because they're just doing outstanding things right now um I was privileged to go to see um our own very talented group from Renaissance Theater go see from here off Broadway it is a locally produced um play about pulse that actually was playing Off Broadway and it was an amazing experience I'm so proud of those young people and and uh they just did a great job and represented Orlando very very well in New York city so we're very very proud of Renaissance theater and their wonderful production of from here that played in New York um it is the first day of school and I want to thank Ted Carol of Carol Adams group they have been sponsoring the backpacks for re teris kids for 20 years and they just don't give out backpacks and and and you know string packs with a few crayons in it we that we call the um or Orange County Public Schools found out find out everything our kids need to succeed on day one and Ted has written that check every year he has donated 2600 backpacks for the children re tariff so I just want to thank Ted Carol you're a great guy you do wonderful things for our kids and I cannot thank you from the bottom of my heart enough because our kids succeed because of great people like Ted Carol um also on the agenda today uh we have on on B3 tables of connections we're also getting one for Langford I'm glad to see that as well because that's that's what that's the one that would be serving the community of re Terrace item B12 there we are purchasing swans for lakeola I brought it to the council today it's a high ticket item um we've had a problem with the lakeola swans that between the bird flu otter are eaten them raccoons ate the baby so we've had some problems with our population at lakeola swans are not cheap it's $119,500 but that's going to get us two mated pairs of trumpeters two whoopers and two um Australian black necks so I understand that people that's a lot of money but you know what our swans are Priceless we need to replenish that um that population people love our swans at Lake Yola Park and I want to make sure we continue to have five of the seven varieties of swans at Lake YULA Park um the only ones we don't have are CoStar robas because they are like geese and they tend to roam and we don't have the tundra swans because it's too hot here but we have all the other Swan varieties of the of the world kids love them every everybody loves them and uh I think it's important that we make this expenditure to make sure that we continue to have a good population and me if you want to help me release them you know uh we'll we'll we'll do that again so but these are adults it's not as hard to introduce the adults as it is to introduce the babies because we got to kind of keep them away from the other swans so they can attack them so um I think it'll I think it will will go well and uh we want to really we we really appreciate the breeder that we've worked with for many many years um to to get to get swans cuz they're not they're not even easy to find these days um so that's on the agenda today and I and I thank the council for your support

CRA meeting minutes from June the 24th motion by commissioner C second by commissioner Rose all in favor indicate so by saying I I those oppose motion carries okay the seconds approving CRA minutes from July 15th commissioner motion by commissioner Rose second by commissioner Stewart all favor indicate so by saying I I those opposed so the motion carries uh number three is Advisory board meeting minutes from June the 12th motion by commissioner Stewart second by commissioner she and all in favor indicate so by saying I I those opposed and so the motion carries and number four David yes thank you very much mayor and good afternoon mayor and Commissioners so item four is a retail dto retail program funding agreement uh so as you may remember uh it was October of of last year where we took the chance to really amend our dto retail program and really look at how we can attract more uh goods-based retailers into downtown Orlando uh we have an applicant uh for one here today that is a jewelry store it is a gentleman with 19 years of experience in the jewelry business and looking to relocate to the crest building on Orange Avenue so 130 South Orange Avenue the northern side of that building uh so we're happy to hopefully welcome them to downtown they're doing $105,000 of renovations to that building to get it ready to uh serve as a jewelry store um of that the program allows for $75,000 of assistance from the CRA to assist uh in addition to one year's rental abatement of $50,000 from the CRA for a total investment of $125,000 uh he has signed a 5-year lease for that space and I'm happy to address any questions okay do we have a motion second motion by commissioner Stewart second by commissioner Rose discussion hearing none all in favor of the motion indicate so by saying I I those opposed so the motion carries number five thank you yes so number five uh as you mentioned mayor in your uh earlier remarks this is a companion item to be 20 that you saw on the consent agenda it's an agreement with drmp the city as well uh as the CRA to start some um two-way conversion work along Magnolia we've talked a lot about uh the benefits that two-way streets provide especially in the downtown core enhancing connectivity uh enhancing businesses uh and creating more walkability as well uh so we're excited to start some of this work um this is the interim project that really allows us to then unlock the two-way potential of Orange Avenue as well as Rosland Avenue um this work is about $360,000 with drmp there's some additional add-on Services uh that we may need to utilize just a based on their design uh that are about $135,000 uh they do meet full mwbe requirements and I'm happy to address any questions uh from the board second motion by commissioner Rose second by commissioner shien discussion none all in favor of the motion indicate so by saying I I those oppos motion carries yes thank you mayor uh so item six the final item for the CRA today uh this is another agreement that was also on the consent agenda as B21 uh this is with the CRA the city and Jacobs Engineering Group uh this one again focusing on Church Street so specifically the corridor between Garland and the train tracks taking the opportunity to really start that design work and creating a true Festival Street in that area uh that enhances placemaking creates more business vibrancy uh and as well as pedestrian friendly uh um ways to go through that area uh this contract is about $570,000 the CRA would be funding the entirety of that uh they also met the full mwbe requirements and I am happy to address any questions all right a question question by commissioner Shi yeah David um I think people are confused sometimes and and they they blame the city when they see um you know that there's no activity and a private property owner does not have to open businesses I don't know why in the heck anyone would want have an entire Street area full of vacant buildings but it seems to be that's the situation that we're dealing with on Church Street I'm wondering why would we be closing the street for a festival Street when there's actually no I don't think there's anything left on Church Street now so could you fil me could you kind of share what the logic would be on that because I mean it's dead right now I mean there's absolutely nowhere to go right now on Church Street sure absolutely so from our perspective commissioner that's actually the opportunity and why the timing makes sense so obviously when you uh do a large scale reconstruction project and you're closing the roads it is very impactful on businesses in that Corridor um for years even when you go back to looking at the sports and entertainment Corridor and why we have the Dr Phillips Center where it is and you know the Kia Cent and where it is and so on and so forth Church Street really is that spine to connect all these and having vibrant businesses a big part of that we're not there today um so now with the opportunity to really take down that Corridor understanding that there's no businesses there today limit the amount of auxiliary impacts and really have something hopefully come back that not only drives their interest and excitement to be a part of that area but also their long-term success uh that meets the vision of the sports and entertainment Corridor that was set out on over 20 years ago uh we thought was the the right way to get things started okay that's that's good thank you okay is there a motion Move Motion by commission she second by commissioner Rose additional discussion hearing none all in favor motion indicat so by saying I I those opposed and so the motion carries David any more business to come before the CRA that is all

want to kind of address some of the I would say disinformation that's taking place right now when it comes to this ordinance we are not stopping nightclubs from coming into downtown what we are doing is we're looking at the 60 block area of what we call the downtown entertainment area and we're saying of those 60 blocks currently there are 48 nightclubs within a 12 block span what we're doing is
