regard uh our first recognition tonight is a   proclamation for retiring judge judge Terry 
Perkins and I'll ask judge Perkins to come up you're honor thank you for being here 
sir uh I saw an article yesterday online   uh written by Flagler County Judge Andrea Totten 
before I read the proclamation I just wanted   to to pull a couple quotes out of that because 
it was so eloquently written judge Totten uh   considers judge Perkins a mentor to her uh she 
worked for him in the Civil Division I believe as   a law clerk uh here in Daytona Beach and what she 
wrote here is that the same characteristics that   had made judge Perkins such a great mentor to me 
judge Totten are those that make him a great judge   and administrator he understands that there can be 
more than one approach to a problem that different   people and she writes and judges are people too 
can see the same facts through different lenses   that all of us make mistakes sometimes despite 
our best efforts and that none of us has all the   answers another quote she said was as a mentor 
judge Perkins temperament was his most important   quality what was so so important to her in her new 
responsibilities as a judge was that judge Perkins   calming influence his wit and his good humor that 
she learned from working with him so really just   an incredible testament to the great man that he 
is and your honor I'm going to present you with   this Proclamation and ask that you hold it while I 
read it whereas a native Floridian and graduate of   Seabreeze high school judge Terry R Perkins proudly 
earned both his bachelor's and jurist degrees   from the University of Florida jurist doctor from 
the University of Florida graduating with honors   admitted to the Florida bar in 1981 he devoted 
30 years to practicing law representing a diverse   array of individuals and corporate clients across 
the state as a board certified Civil Trial lawyer   and whereas prior to his judicial appointment in 
2010 judge Perkins was a founding shareholder and   director of Smith Hood Perkins Stout bigman 
and Brock PA where he excelled in personal   injury and insurance defense his exceptional legal 
expertise earned him an AV preeminent ranking for   professional ability and ethics for marale Hubble 
attorney reviews and ratings a distinction that   he maintained for over 15 years and whereas upon 
joining the circuit court judge Perkins resided   over a wide variety of cases including civil 
criminal drug and mental health matters ensuring   Justice was served with fairness and diligence his 
commitment to teamwork and justice earned him the   respect of his peers leading to his election as 
chief judge of the seventh judicial circuit in   both 2013 and 2015 where he directed case 
assignments and upheld justice across four   counties and whereas during his tenure as chief 
judge he spearheaded the transition from paper to   electronic files making the court more efficient 
and accessible he also expanded his expertise by   serving on esteemed committees including 
the Florida courts technology commission   and the executive committee of the Florida 
Conference of Circuit Court judges   and where as deeply committed to his community 
judge Perkins has coached Youth Sports in Ormond   Beach served as a deacon at Christ Presbyterian 
church and has been an active member of several   other local organizations and whereas the city 
of Ormond Beach is immensely grateful to judge   Perkins dedication leadership and contributions 
to the Judiciary field and the community we wish   him all the best as he embarked works on this 
journey to enjoy the fruits of his well-earned   retirement pursuing woodworking flying his 
plane and exploring the world now therefore   I Bill Partington mayor of the city of Ormond 
Beach on behalf of the entire commission to   hereby Proclaim October 2nd 2024 as a day to 
recognize and honor judge Terry R Perkins   in the city of Ormond Beach and encourage 
All City staff and residents to join me   in expressing congratulations and gratitude 
for his service and dedication to our community congratulations and they're here to listen to 
you speak not me so nothing I need onsite don't go anywhere now this is the 
part where we say but wait there's more   uh be your honor because you had such an 
exceptional career uh because you are our   local uh jurist made good everybody's so 
proud of you I think Commissioner Persis   actually was a schoolmate if I remember 
correctly awesome that's right good stuff   but we wanted to present you uh with a 
key to the city of Ormond Beach along with all right it also happens to be domestic violence 
Awareness Month uh with a Judicial theme and I   would ask Courtney Fraine Daisy Gonzalez and 
Emma Sanders to come forward if yall are here present to you and have you hold it and then I'm going to read it'll do pictures 
Perfect all right thank you guys no that's perfect   whereas domestic violence includes violent or 
aggressive behavior within the home that targets   a member of one's immediate family and undermines 
the very foundation of our communities and   whereas domestic violence devastates relationships 
disrupts lives and erodes the core unit of society   the family homes should be sanctuaries of 
comfort and stability where love and mutual   respect flourish instead domestic violence 
creates environments fraught with fear and   danger leaving individuals in unsafe situations 
and whereas domestic violence affects individuals   across all income levels races genders and 
socioeconomic backgrounds women still make   up a disproportionately higher number of victims 
of domestic violence with nearly half of female   homicide victims being killed by a current 
or former male partner and whereas October   is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month a 
time to renew the city's commitment to ending this   cycle of abuse this year the theme heal hold and 
center emphasizes the need to heal from violence   and oppression hold space for survivors and center 
those most marginalized and whereas Ormond Beach is   a vibrant City with over 44,000 residents and 
more than 5 million guests annually extends   and reaffirms unconditional compassion respect 
support and protection to victims and survivors   holding perpetrators accountable and providing 
hope to those in unsafe and unstable living   conditions now therefore based on all of that I 
Bill Partington mayor of the city of Ormond Beach   on behalf of our entire commission do hereby 
Proclaim October 2024 as Domestic Violence   Awareness Month in the city of Ormond Beach and 
urge all residents agencies and champions to   support efforts preventing and ending domestic 
violence thank you all very much for being here chief chief Godfrey Captain Roos if you guys   will come up for the picture Captain 
Smith as well and then I'll let you sometimes hello hello everyone I'm Emma 
Sanders from domestic abuse Council Volusia   I'm the Outreach manager a couple things 
I just want to invite you all to our 5K   run walk run on October 19th if you follow 
our social media we do have a registration   link for that 5K walk link you can donate 
you don't have to run also we have a town   hall next week Monday October 7th at 8:00 
at Brown and Brown so please join us for a   very important discussion this about the 
Dynamics of domestic violence um we have   Chief Jakari young that's joining us and also 
state attorney Lisa on the panel with our CEO we'll put it on the internet we'll post 
it on social media so everybody knows but   yes thank you all for being here and thank 
you for recognizing this month good to see you all right last but certainly 
not least if Chief Bailey come forward that's wonderful that 
is wonderful bring your team up you it is fire prevention week and uh we try 
not to miss every year I think we recognize   fire prevention week and the important week 
that you guys do every week uh men and women   of the Ormond Beach Fire Department and so I'm 
proud to present this Proclamation whereas the   city of Ormond Beach's fire department is 
dedicated to reducing home fires injuries   through prevention and education aligning the 
2024 Fire Prevention Week theme smoke alarms   make them work for you and whereas working smoke 
alarms are essential for alerting residents to   fire significantly increasing survival chances 
modern homes burn hotter and faster due to the   synthetic materials used limiting escape time to 
just 2 to 3 minutes and whereas the National Fire   Protection Association NFPA States smoke alarms 
reduce the risk of fatality in home fires by   over 50% yet three out of five fire deaths occur in 
homes without functioning smoke alarms and whereas   every household should ensure smoke alarms 
are installed in sleeping areas and consider   automatic sprinkler systems in high-rises and 
whereas residents should take proactive measures   such as testing smoke and carbon monoxide alarms 
monthly and participating and community outreach   programs to promote fire safety Fire Prevention 
Week provides an opportunity to educate families   on creating fire escape plans and ensuring their 
smoke alarms are operational and whereas we honor   the brave First Responders and firefighters who 
risk their lives for our safety and remember those   who have made the ultimate sacrifice now therefore 
I Bill Partington mayor of the city of Ormond Beach   on behalf of the entire commission to hereby 
Proclaim October 6th through October 12th as Fire   Prevention Week in our city and urge all residents 
to implement preventative measures within their   homes and support Public Safety efforts promoting 
fire safety awareness thank you all very much congratulations of course yeah 
he's been want to do it for so long audience remarks uh Miss Jennifer bright will be first up miss bright you have three minutes well I was concerned about a couple 
of things on the consent agenda because um   they weren't very transparent to the to the 
people reading the agenda for example uh   172 referenced an auto renewal that you had 
to dig back into contract back from 2021 and   I had to pester my councilman to find out what 
the dollar amounts were cause there was no current   listing for how much it was going to cost we had 
to go back to look at the um 2021 and supposedly   I want to make sure it's in the record that God 
forbid we need to use those resources they were   paying the rates that are in the 21 contract 
that's what I told been told that that that's   what they were that they aren't going up also 
the city puts in um an example on uh item o and   P that the staff report we can view the city 
manager staff report to see the information   related to those items and the uh links in the 
website are over a year behind uh hopefully the   city can get all these things corrected so they 
be more transparent in what they're doing and   what the city is spending our tax dollars 
on thank you thank you next up is Connie Colby good evening Connie Colby 108 Robo Lane 
in Ormond Beach um first of all I would like   to acknowledge Kelly McGuire she was so sweet 
last last two weeks ago she walked me out to   my car when you had thousands of people here and 
every car between here and there was a big pickup   truck we had to park all the way over by 
the library and I couldn't see anything in   the dark um two weeks ago you had the item on the 
agenda about landing fees at the airport um to me   I thought that was a no-brainer yay let's finally 
do something about paying back the money that they   owe to the general fund um I've since talked to 
a couple of people whose opinions I respect and   I guess there's more to the story that I I don't 
understand but I hope that this will be some way   of looking at different ways to pay that money 
back and keep this going as an open um plan for   doing something up there and looking around I also 
see that many of the airports around this area are   considering that 3% Landing fee so it's going to 
be kind of a a troubled area to work with I guess   um I saw a lot of different ways of doing 
that too they were talking about maybe   giving discounts to the schools for the 
landing fees um and I I don't know about   the other things like if you buy a gallon 
of gas you don't have to pay a landing fee   they had different scenarios out there 
that need to be looked at too but please   include the public in this discussion 
as well thank you thank you and Cynthia Costa I'm coming no problem no problem hi I'm Cindy Costa six Walen Lane Ormond
Beach I'm here for some of my friends who don't   come to the these meetings but would like to talk 
about these homes that are abandoned I have three   homes on three different streets that are going 
to be causing problems and here's the first one   and these people who in that neighborhood won't 
call code enforcement because they are required   to leave their name and when the the neighbors 
call in they find out who calls and they wind up   fighting each other there's this one at 170 putam 
it looks abandoned the pool water is completely   black the screens over the pool you know what 
I'm talking about are gone the frames are there   that's dangerous and there's a car that has been 
parked there that has not been moved at least for   one year that the vines from the driveway are 
growing into the car there's another one at   103 Lincoln that also looks abandoned the trees 
and the vegetation are growing over the complete   right hand side of the house over the windows 
and up onto the roof and the last one is 978   Parkwood it looks abandon and unkempt just to me 
why doesn't code enforcement see this how can we   say Ormond Beach is charming when we cut some child 
can walk in there and drown in their pool there's   no screens around it that's bad and very very 
dangerous ous okay another thing is I complained   last time I was here about the roots that are 
growing under the road on North Beach Street but   I was told that is not our problem here but Shawn I 
talked to Shawn and he said it was I think he said   it was County he was going to call me back on a 
Monday cuz he was going to proceed calling them   and keeping on them I have never heard another 
word and it's still there and I know Shawn had his   men go out and see it and said yes it is dangerous 
but he can't do it because it's not his problem so   would if you could have Shawn call me back and give 
me some numbers to call to the county is that who   I call the county that would that would be in my 
I would appreciate that my guess is he's already   done that but yes ma'am we'll have him call you 
back thank you I leave these addresses here or   uh sure you can if you'll give them to the clerk 
she'll record them and make sure the right folks   get them thank you for your time thank you iiz we 
did we did reach out to the county we're trying to   get it in motion and try and get it taken care of 
um again you know our hands are tied with what we   can do but we we we're continuing to urge them to 
get it done as quickly as we can they're going to   take care of it we're trying to get them to do it 
I can't I can't make them get out there and do it   but I'm we're urging them as as as often as much 
as we can well can I have a phone number so I can   I will gladly I will gladly accident waiting to 
happen I'll get you some app numbers thank you   no problem thank you excuse me commission uh

wish to pull any item from the consent agenda   I move approval of the consent agenda second 
seconded please call the vote Commissioner Tolland yes yes Commissioner Persis yes commissioner 
Briley yes Mayor Partington yes would any   Commissioners like to comment on any of the 
consent agenda items Commissioner Sargent   thank you Mr Mayor I'd like to comment on uh P 
the temporary Information Technology staff and   I think this it's great that we're moving this 
forward and I think this um ties into what Mrs   bright was was talking about transparency updating 
our technology our website our um social media   technology the chambers speakers so everyone can 
hear see uh and find information more more easily   accessible I guess I should say um so I think 
this is a step in the right direction for what   you're you're looking for and this was one of 
my um initial platforms I ran on um two years   ago and it's nice to see that within the first 
two years it's being implemented so thank you   nice Commissioner Persis yes I just wanted 
to uh make a comment on item C uh I'm very   excited that you know we're replacing this Main 
Force main Crossing and expansion and we are   increasing our reclaimed water system to new 
customers I think that's great for our city   so just want to comment on that and good for 
the environment and good for the environment   that's right absolutely Commissioner Tolland and 
mine is just a general comment I had um reached   out to staff I was just a little concerned and 
questioned why we quite a few items we were um   voting on for a soul source provider and you know 
theoretically that I felt that that was wrong   that we should always bid things out for 
a higher ticket item but I was told and I   agree that in this is a very special most of 
these were very specialized services and it   it just made sense to um do it that way so I just 
thought I would just point that out perfect thank   you Commissioner and I think a lot of people 
agree with you obviously we like to bid when   we can there's just certain areas uh where there's 
no other product that will work and so we're stuck   this is the right way to do it we advise it we let 
people know right give people the opportunity   to come and say oh we found this other person 
that's doing it you know they're in California   but maybe you should think about it whatever 
the situation um but that's the right process   to follow so Joyce thank you and your staff for 
doing that and thank you for for bringing it up   I just wanted to comment on uh K the contract with 
Crowder Gulf I'm so proud of staff for making sure   that those contracts are in place so that you know 
we dodged a bullet this last week with the storm   uh that came through and caused so many problems 
on the west coast and up in Western Carolina and   we didn't have to have a contract in place but uh 
when it's in place and you have an event and these   folks know that we need them we've paid for them 
uh we're solid in our ability to uh perform on the   contract and they'll come to us first versus 
cities throughout the state who don't have a   contractor in place they their residents can wait 
months for this debris to be cleared whereas in a   matter of days usually after the event our roads 
are starting to be cleaned up already and it's   because of the forward-thinking work of staff to 
put these contracts in place with reputable firms   and I'm I'm grateful for that so that's all I had 
Commissioner Persis yes ma'am I just wanted to add   on to what you were saying um one of my residents 
called after the storm and we did have a few trees   down for I don't think anyone got too much damage 
but that tree was re was removed within 3 hours I   mean that's how quick everybody works so um these 
people couldn't get out of their street but they   were able to get out in three hours so that's 
just wonderful what a tribute to our workers   and our staff thank you great than thank you and 
if there's nothing else on the consent agenda   we'll move to public hearings I'll open the public 
hearings and we'll start with 8A ordinance number ORDINANCE NO. 2024-26: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 2, DISTRICT AND GENERAL REGULATIONS, ARTICLE IV, CONDITIONAL AND SPECIAL EXCEPTION REGULATIONS, SECTION 2-57, CRITERIA FOR REVIEW OF SPECIFIC CONDITIONAL AND SPECIAL EXCEPTION, SUBSECTION (37), HOUSES OF WORSHIP, OF THE CITY OF ORMOND BEACH LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, BY AMENDING THE CONDITIONS FOR HOUSES OF WORSHIP; REPEALING ALL INCONSISTENT ORDINANCES OR PARTS THEREOF; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND SETTING FORTH AN EFFECTIVE DATE. this is the second reading of ordinance number 2024-26.

three or four years ago that when it first came   up with the idea which is not an original idea

Mr Hayes came up with the license agreement public   art process and uh so the city will actually own 
this artwork and they're licensing you know you're   we're licensing the space we're going to pay for 
it and uh we're creating it at your um at your   discretion and uh under your guidelines so we're 
very excited to do it we hope that a lot of people   will take pictures in front of it and they'll 
post it on social media and a lot of people   will say wow I wish I was in Ormond Beach instead 
of uh shoveling snow here in Chicago or Michigan   or wherever they're from so thank you very much

process the artists their work have to be approved   by the arts district and um uh he's committed to

it done soon thank you and I just want to say   Commissioner Selby I could I see this on not cards

there and so we just ask you that you keep them   all in your thoughts and prayers and I can answer

a good night thank you City attorney Randy Hayes   tonight thank you thank you Randy and tonight we 
start with I've got it here Commissioner Persis   Oh I thought it was commissioner I thought it 
was Commissioner Sargent gee but that's fine   Save The Best For Last oh that's right Save 
The Best For Last that's exactly right well   good evening everyone um I just have a few 
comments for this evening um I wanted just   to say also say National Night Out last night 
was absolutely fabulous great crowd lots of fun   DW out there I are you are you like sick of 
making hot dogs say you were really involved   with those hot dogs but it was just a great event 
and it does seem to get better every single year   so that was just wonderful um I also wanted to 
um uh say Joe Daniels thank you for being here   haven't seen you here in a couple of weeks or a 
couple of months so it's nice to see you sitting   in the audience good good to see you and um I'm 
so excited um Commissioner elect Deaton thank you   for getting involved in these donations it's 
wonderful and I already talked to some people   and a a friend of mine that's a dentist they're 
already don't they're going to be bringing 15   toothbrushes and toothpaste to you um at Ormond 
Main Street to you all so that'll be awesome so   and there'll be a lot more coming I know that 
but great job great I'm so happy that you're   doing that there are there is such devastation 
up um in Tennessee and North Carolina so that's   just wonderful and then I have I have a couple 
of requests um with with staff so If my first   one is um uh gentleman Tom Fitzgibbon who lives 
on South St Andrews has again questioned about   the traffic or speed bumps or something and 
I didn't know Shawn where we were with that we had   we had commissioned one of our consultants to take 
a look at our craft cing plan we just got A draft   copy of their evaluation so we're in the process 
of reviewing that I'm hoping to get through that   review and and and make some constructive changes 
to our our our traffic coming program um we'll   bring it back to you all to make sure that we're 
all on the same page and then as soon as we can I   think that that that group is one of the first 
ones we'll want to you know address address   okay wonderful thank you I'll let Mr Fitzgibbons 
know that's wonderful and then my last um I have   a request for the commission and I was hoping 
that we could um uh you know look at the tennis   courts that we have you know right up the street 
on Granada that are so popular these days I mean   the tennis courts there have been there a long 
time their clay courts are wonderful tennis is   a great sport um it's pretty much free you 
get great exercise you're outside in the   fresh air and you you know have camaraderie 
with your your teach teammates and it's just   a wonderful um you know sport for all ages to 
participate in and I was wondering we had some   speakers here last week um I believe her name 
was let's see um what is Alicia Alicia Simmons   and I was hoping that maybe we could help direct 
them to do a race a Daytona Beach um uh racing   and Recreation facilities District request 
and have help her contact Barbara Kelly who   in charge of that because I think it's something 
that we really need to work on for our citizens   so many people are playing there they have so many 
more teams they need showers they need um a place   where they can you know change and then walk down 
our streets go out to lunch just you know be part   of the City visitors even play out there so I was 
hoping we could um talk about that real quickly so   I also spoke with um trishna uhuh and suggested 
you know because this is this is similar to I   think the city leases Trista leases that property 
please correct me if I'm wrong um and then she   runs her business there so it's I think it's our 
obligation as a city to to maintain that but um I   talked her about the racing district and when we 
did vadner Park and we were partnering with the   city you you kind of do that as a private citizen 
and and you you do that grand thing it's not a   really difficult no application um she just needs 
to do it right and the next one comes up I think   January will be the next time January you know 
I don't think it's fair for us to ask staff to   write it no I wasn't asking staff to write it but 
just to get the guide help guide her and just all   of us you know be in agreement that's something 
that we are in favor of them doing and anything   we can do help if she reaches out to Barbara 
Kelly she Barbara will hold her hand through   that process and tell you exactly what to do right 
um anyway I believe if I'm correct that staff has   to because staff has to apply for it because 
they are not a nonprofit so I think there's do   do you know that an I don't know that but we'll 
be happy to reach out to Barbara and to trishna   and help them through that process we're not going 
to write the grant but we'll just point them in   the right direction no absolutely not no thinkable 
have been not for profit but I just don't know the   details so i' have to talk to Barbara Kelly okay 
good well thank you all I I appreciate appreciate   that very much and that's all I have this evening 
I hope everyone has a safe evening and be and uh   good night thank you Commissioner Deputy Mayor 
Briley thank you Mr Mayor I'll be brief um   I will echo the sentiments of Commissioner Persis 
regarding National Night Out it was a great event   um and Mr Mayor you mentioned the same thing uh 
it was great our our fine folks in uniform Captain   Smith saw you you and Chris Mason give out hot 
dog saw saw Captain Roos out there and of course   a lot of our other um City staff volunteering 
for that it was great to see everyone and it was   just another a great event um Commissioner Tolland 
and the mayor and I had the uh had the honor   of attending the Halifax Health lunch today at 
Halifax Hospital which was very very informative   um a lot of the stuff they discussed uh kind of 
hits home with the the mayor Partington with with   his wife and myself um but it's just fantastic 
hearing the news about how they're teaming up   with UF Health in the cardiovascular and uh uh 
cardiovascular and aneurysm uh field it was just   really really good to hear and it gives gives us 
a lot of uh gives us a lot of promise of the the   medical facilities we have here in in the greater 
Daytona Beach area and uh finally I do know that   and I think uh Miss Shanahan touched on it you 
know next meeting is uh our mayor's last meeting   and uh we're going to miss his leadership of 
this city commission well Bill we want to thank   you obviously for the the great you know 20 plus 
years you put in on the city commission and uh   we appreciate you thank you thank you apprciate 
it Commissioner Tolland I'll let Travis Sargent   go before me because he was last last time I'll 
be really nice go ahead first last time oh wow   you do want to say the best for last I guess uh 
thank you Mr Mayor uh echo um National Night Out   was great but in the next year can we work on 
getting grilled hot dogs instead of boiled hot   dogs um I know am not in charge of hot dogs I know 
uh Captain Smith does not like boiling hot dogs   even though he does a fantastic job just grilled 
would be a little bit better um I'll leave that   one alone uh the Nova baseball fields are in great 
shape we've been out there a lot lately when the   rain has not been present and um just the comments 
that we get of the condition of the fields thanks   to Commissioner Tollands leadership on adding the 
dedicated millage rate for leisure services and   and having that applied this year to redid those 
fields look forward to Hope hopefully having some   tournaments and bringing um outside people into to 
enjoy our facilities um the reports I know Miss um   brght about the reports they're not a year behind 
they're only a couple months behind on the the   website I looked um June of 2024 was the last 
one just a little correction for the record um   excuse me I also saw at the county yesterday and I 
believe on Daytona Beach's agenda is at uh Avalon   Park they're approving the traffic plan for that 
development so I think we need to see where we   are providing water sewer where the city stands on 
that I just maybe an update coming forward because   I know that it seems like this project is it's 
it's a go um and then in the future I know that   last week we bid out or approved the insurance and 
saved the City money on that large contract and   potentially next year maybe look at Yellowstone I 
know as the mayor said it's certain ones you have   to be careful on because you don't know what 
vendors are out there however the Yellowstone   contract is approaching $2 million and I think 
that large of a contract maybe it is time to   maybe explore I mean they do a great job but maybe 
we just need to to to look at that option for our   residents to make sure that we're we're getting 
the best deal that for the taxpayers money and   and my last thing is that October 1st the new law 
went into into place where it is now illegal in   Florida to sleep on sidewalks in parks on beaches 
or other public spaces um so just wanted to let   everyone know with that I'll say good night 
thank you, Commissioner and Commissioner Tolland,   thank thank you um so a couple weeks ago they 
had the coastal cleanup um all around and I um I   think some of of you all participated in different 
ones I was up at Tom Rennick Park and um I was just   really amazed that what I picked up the most were 
those little plastic straws to juice boxes they   were absolutely everywhere in every seaweed thing 
there was so you know there's there's nothing we   can do about it right now but to educate um 
but anyway I thought that was an interesting   observation baseball field fields are absolutely 
gorgeous played tennis up at the Nova and driving   in my daughter hasn't been there in a while looked 
over and said wow these things look great so kudos   to Leisure Services for getting those done and 
just how beautiful they are um congrats to the   police department for all their promotions and 
all their swearing ends I what I wanted to just   say mostly was that I really applaud the whole 
Police Department for creating an environment   of of a caring family atmosphere and it's very 
evident when you go to these functions and you're   and each officer is lifting up sometimes in a very 
sarcastic comical way but they're still lifting up   each other and you can just tell that they really 
care about each other um National Night Out was   amazing I think the venue of Rockefeller Gardens 
as opposed to Nova was is the right choice and I   hope that that continues over at Rockefeller was 
spread out nice um I will come back so this Friday   is the heartwalk and I do want to thank those that 
have donated to the American Heart Association I   know and I'm going to give you a free pass to 
all of those that in your heart really wanted   to walk but I also know that we have conflicts 
and schedules um we have the trunker treat um   with the community night out um hosted by Pros 
um and I'm sure there's other events going on   so I'm personally going to give you a free pass 
to not walk that night and but if anybody wants   to walk that night um I will meet you at the um 
after you go through there's the entrance exit   where the beginning and the end of the race is I 
will be there and I will walk that with whoever   shows up you can always make donations anytime 
um on through the American Heart Association um   tomorrow I mean not tomorrow I'm sorry Saturday at 
9:00 a.m. at the EDC Volusia County um particularly   Troy Kent will be celebrating native plant 
month which is November um so I'm really glad   that he is embracing that and bringing attention 
to native plants and also an update that um   planning department and uh Cara our landscape 
architect is um accepting public input on round   two of their landscape ordinance changes and that 
will be held at 2:00 on October 8th in room 103 so   if anybody is interested in um the updates or has 
information they want to present or comments they   want to make this is when the public is invited 
to make their recommendations and I really applaud   staff for going through this process ga Gathering 
the public input and you you have those that are   environmentalists speaking as well as developers 
that may not be as much environmentalists to Crazy   Commissioners to everybody else and they're 
they're taking all of our input and um are   going to come back to the planning board and then 
to us later in the year or actually beginning of   2025 I think so anyway thank you for the process 
and thank you and everybody have a good night   thank you, Commissioner and Commissioner Sargent, 
had one more announcement completely I don't know   how I forgot it there's a fishing tournament for 
the kids Saturday I'm sorry Robert I can't believe   I forgot that and I I'm hoping the Sargent 
boys take first place which one is is this   the river this is one of the river okay thank you 
awesome um thank you all I think you you pretty   much covered everything the heartwalk I can tell 
you we have started a massive search in my house   for the t-shirt that you gave me Commissioner Tolland 
I know I have it somewhere uh I'll give you a pass   we will find it and I'm going to try to be there 
um and then you brought up realty Pros they do an   incredible Community Appreciation Night that's 
Friday evening and that'll be a huge crowd as   well um National Night Out I think I pretty much 
covered that at the beginning of the meeting just   incredible spirit there and seeing the young 
people interacting with our police officers and   firefighters that's what it's all about really uh 
making those introductions um I saw one young lady   I think she's 15 interested in in law enforcement 
uh and Engineering at that age anything's still   possible I guess but she took one of the younger 
officers in the department took the time to talk   to her a little bit about what's involved in uh 
becoming a police officer how you can get involved   with the cadets all the different programs that 
we have and so I was thrilled to see see that the   the community involvement the businesses that 
came out and supported the event Outback was   giving away entire free meals I was blown away 
by that healthy as well um so yeah it was it was   really wonderful and then Deputy Mayor the um event 
today and Commissioner Tolland was there as well from   Halifax we're lucky to have incredible healthcare organizations in our community whether it's   Advent or Halifax but uh Dr feaser uh Robert 
feaser who is a vascular surgeon spoke about   the complex aortic aneurysms that they treat 
in a way that is non-invasive you know people who   normally would be in the hospital for a week or 10 
days and then go home and take six to n months to   recover before they actually felt back to being 
themselves uh are home the next day after having   the non-invasive surgeries that's incredible 
Dr kanana who's an incredible cardiologist uh   spoke as well and then Dr Bender Who is a 
uh Chiropractic and pain management doctor   focusing on using nonopioid ways to treat people 
and prevent pain uh really really impressive   Halifax is our community hospital if you will 
and the amount of personable and professionals   that work there is just uh wonderful for our 
community you can go to their website learn   more about all the different things that they're 
doing they have some incredible state-of-the-art   equipment that very few hospitals in the entire 
nation have and how Halifax has it so it was great   to learn about that and thank you to them for 
offering that and thank you commission for being   able to be there to uh to experience that and with 
that uh we are adjourned thank you all very much
