countless number of NGO have been planted in our city county  state and are deeply embedded in every office of government they are not going away thus our local  government will continue to be led down a path of marxist socialist no new world order these people  are paid Marxist they have cushy salaries to take down the only country in the world that stands  for individual freedom and Rule what

RAILROAD, EAST OF THE FLAGLER COUNTY BOUNDARY LINE, AND NORTH OF DURRANCE LANE AND HARMONY AVENUE KNOWN AS THE “ORMOND CROSSINGSâ€; AUTHORIZING AN AMENDMENT WITHIN TRACT 8 TO ALLOW SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES WITH THE RESIDENTIAL HIGH DENSITY LAND USE AREA, AND TO UPDATE THE CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN FOR THE RESIDENTIAL LAND AREA; ESTABLISHING CONDITIONS AND EXPIRATIONS OF APPROVAL; AND SETTING FORTH AN EFFECTIVE DATE. this is the first reading of ordinance number 2024-40 read by title only Steven spraker this is an amendment to a plan mixed use development so this is a development order  um starting out the presentation with the the area of Ormond Crossings so at the top is the  Florida East Coast Railroad and then us one would be just to the top of that so it goes  from the East Coast railroad to Durrance Lane and Harmony those would be the southern boundaries  the western boundary is Flagler County and then the Eastern bound boundary is wrapped by Harmony  Avenue so this is the general location of Ormond Crossings the project is really divided into  three separate areas the first area is east of I95 which is intended to be a Commerce Center  job growth industrial office uses just west of I95 is a town center your traditional Town Center  with a with a mixture of commercial uses office and residential and then the last component is a  residential component next to the Flagler County Line the land planning for this project started  back in 2004 with the annexation the City Annex 3,095 acres into the city of or Beach from Volusia  County in 2004 was the start of a community redevelopment area that's an area that allows  the taxes to be reinvested into the project this community redevelopment area is specifically for  a bridge over the railroad tracks from US1 into the Commerce Center where the jobs are  supposed to be created so that is the purpose of the community redevelopment area the other  access point for the project include the at grade crossing which you can go over today at  Broadway and then Northwest on the project there is a flyover that again goes from US1 into the  residential area so that's how the project would be accessed starting in 2005 there  were comprehensive plan uh amendments that were transmitted to the Department of community affairs  at that time to basically take the development rights into the city of Ormond beach there was  also a development of regional impact approved that was for large um projects Breakaway Trails  Hunter Ridge those are examples of development of regional impacts eventually state law was  amended to resend development of regional impacts so that eventually went away 5 years after the  transmittal there was a stipulated settlement agreement that took the the land area and  brought it into our comprehensive plan and what it did is it established certain entitlements for  those three areas it also had specific amendments to multiple sections of our comprehensive plan  in that same year in 2010 there was a development agreement that basically organized  the entitlements the developer commitments and and when those had to take place the difference  in the annex area and this land area is the properties from the railroad track the US1  were left out of the Ormond Crossings so they have generalized zoning so again reviewing our three  areas the Commerce Center the town center and the residential the residential really is the focus of  the the application tonight and there's uh 2550 residential units approved for that land area in  2013 after the development agreement there was a zoning document so the zoning document is not  going to have detailed site plans it's not going to have all the the the site plan information it  does have a conceptual master plan which kind of shows you the thought process of the development  it has a land use and a track map and with that track map you have individual zone uses  and setbacks and dimensional standards so that zoning document gives you use  uses and dimensional standards it gives you the development commitments and it gives you certain  standards like architecture and Landscaping how a a project would be built for each one  of the residential developments each phase it has to go through a preliminary site plan so  that's basically a conceptual plan to show they're consistent with the master plan that's approved by  our site plan review committee and then for each phase it requires a preliminary plat which gets  reviewed by the planning board and gets acted upon by the city commission there's also a final  plat so for each development you will see both the preliminary plat and the final plat in our  timeline in 2015 there was an extension of that community redevelopment area and then in 2017 was  the First Amendment to the development agreement that allowed the Security First building our first  project in Ormond Crossings which is eventually approved by a site plan review committee and as we  know today is existing at as the only development in on the crossings another time extension in 2020  for our community redevelopment area and then 2024 as the project is sold to uh the current applicant  there was a preliminary site plane so that first stage not a not a true not a true subdivision plan  that was approved by a site planning committee Review Committee of 444 Lots the commission also  approved the Community Development district and that district is a financing tool for  infrastructure improvements and maintenance that Community Development district is only  on the residential area so it's it's a way to pay for those improvements the application before you  tonight is there's two items one is within Track eight of the residential area it only allows  multifamily and town homes to use the applicant um the contract purchaser for the residential  portion desires only to have single family uses in the development so they would like to add single  family uses into track eight which requires an amendment they'd also like to update the  conceptual master plan based on some of the inputs that they've had primarily from Volusia County and  from additional information they've had in site plan track 8 is located almost uh right in the  middle of the residential portion and again the sole amendment is to take it from multi family  to allow single family there's no changes in the entitlements no increased residential units no  increase commercial units the second um part part of this amendment is taking this conceptual master  plan approved in 2013 and inserting this one so this is a blowup of the the northern portion the  primary change is in meetings with Volusia County they desire and the applicant agrees and staff  also believes it's a good idea to relocate Tymber Creek as you know it today which would be next to  the interstate right here to relocate it to align with the flyover so that you would have a a major  road way owned and maintained by Volusia County to be um constructed the existing Tymber Creek  would still still exist it's probably going to get um bowed out a little bit so you don't  have that awkward curve under the interstate the concept plan starts to show you uh parks which  are showing in green it shows you the lot layouts it shows you the wetlands and this is a K through  8 elementary school so it starts to provide detail this is the middle section again shows you  the realignment of Tymber Creek shows you the Middle School residential areas shows you the  wetlands the concept plan has um relatively minimal impacts to the Wetland and they are  clustering the Lots within the Development Area this is the southern part so Durance Acres would be  right located right here Tymber Creek Road is here so these are the wetlands to be preserved the lot  areas and then the storm waters everything shown in here doesn't necessarily vest the applicant  they still have to go through all the preliminary and final plats which comes back before planning  boarding commission so to summarize the two items um actually pretty straightforward one  is to allow single family to track eight and the other is to incorporate the conceptual master plan  for the residential areas the planning board recommended approval with a 7 to 0 vote one of the  items at planning board were flooding and storm water primarily with Durrance Acres so in 20 um 23  the city adopted a storm water master plan and in that Master Plan there was a study that was  scheduled to be done in this fiscal year so as um hurricane Milton hit and in Volusia County  was allocated funds for uh storm water city of Ormond Beach applied for some of those storm water  studies they were awarded approval on November 19th with Volusia County we're scheduled to meet  later this month with Volusia County to start those storm water um projects s the applicant is here  and I'm available for any questions if there are what the applicant like to speak on the item at all Mr Mayor I just have one question I'm sorry maybe Steven can answer the question on the  track to 8 where they're going from the multi family to single family I know they have vested  development rights but are looking you know with that change would it be a I would imagine  it would be a decrease in density the the density is throughout the entire uh 1800 Acres understand  so they're they're not going to change the density of the overall project particular area might have  actually less units that's what I'm saying it could be a reduction in density a decrease in  density I mean not not that not that they would be getting a decrease because they already have  as I said they have vested development rights to a certain number of units right but I would I would  imagine this would take that number down some in that particular area I I would agree yes does  anybody else have questions for the planning director for for just piggy backing with what Harold just  said uh I read about 113 affordable housing units is that going to be located in track 8 I don't  believe or is that going to be in other areas I don't believe it's been identified yet exactly  where where that's going to be and it might be may be um distri distributed through the project so um  again they're not at that level of detail that will come back to the commission at some point  okay and I will have a lot of questions so I'll wait till everybody asks theirs because I know  I tend to talk a lot okay at the end Commissioner Deaton just to clarify simply because I do know there's a lot  of confusion regarding this project we are simply going from multif family possible apartments and  Town houses straight to single family homes correct okay I would okay uh Deputy Mayor well it'll be  pro yeah probably a Steven okay okay sorry I warned you it was going to be a lot um you did  address the flooding so we're doing a study with Durance Trail and Durance acres and Bear Creek I  mean Bear Creek has been struggling with water as well and it does come up close to them will  that study include Bear Creek area or just Durance Acres I believe it's just Durance Acres there may  be additional studies that the city does in the future but the the master plan and what we submit  to Volusia County was for Durrance acers if we can if we can consider maybe thinking about adding Bear  Creek to that I know it's it's it's been something for the last year and a half we've heard from  Bear Creek um okay and that may be a future study specifically for that area okay um so I won't talk  about the flooding um the school so I'm I'm just thinking about the history of Plantation um Oaks  how things changed there was a school and a golf course then there was no school no no golf course  and development occurred in sections so there's a school scheduled right now how can we guarantee  I know it's up to the school board to determine the needs but can we insist that that school stay  and that it doesn't go to the South End where Pine Trail and Pathways is and stay up closer to US1  so the because that's a debacle sure so the the project has a series of approvals comprehensive  plan development agreement and the zoning document all three documents have developer commitment  which includes the schools so if the if the applicant and the school board sought to you know  wave that which neither one have indicated they're going to do it they would have to come back and  amend all three those documents before the city commission okay so there is no indication that  School Board is doing that matter of fact I believe they have been talking to the  applicant and they are they are talking timing and everything else so there's no indication that that  is in play now next subject would be safety is there any plan for fire station police station has  that been addressed or secured so the development agreement requires a both a construction of  a fire station and two uh fire apparatus so that's in the existing development agreement  the applicant has been in conversations with City staff to discuss the timing so that is in  place okay um and there're also are police and fire impact fees which the commission approved  as part of the impact fee update okay next topic Wetlands on exhibit D um on the concept plan um  and Exhibit C does it change the natural Wetlands that are there it looked like there was just a  small section that was impact in tract 8 in all of the wetlands and the green space there um are  those Wetlands altered so we haven't gotten to the detailed um drawings from the Concept plan we  can tell you that they have work very hard to stay out of all the wetlands and upland buffers doesn't  mean there won't be impacts at road crossings and again that's part of the ground truthing  when the plats come back to you but the concept plan you know and and the applicant can probably  tell you some more details the concept plans have have used clustering and that's clustering  with 40ft lots 50ft lights 50ft wide lots and 60 foot wide Lots those are lots not typically  seen in Ormond Beach right but the whole purpose of those lots is so they're not impacting the  wetlands I apologize guys I'm just going down my list I hope no you're good you're okay all right  mass clearing no tree survey for track eight because the monoculture of pine trees um is  is that just in tract 8 or is that in the whole development it's in the entire development okay so are there other options you can do other than mass clearing is there any way like in  those green big green spaces that we see all I mean you knew this was probably coming from me  in all that green space is there any way that we can not do mass clearing but be do more careful  pruning around I mean so and maybe that's an applicant question well I'll I'll take my stab  and then the applicant can can you know add to my comments so the the goal of the project is not to  impact environmentally sensitive areas and that is the Wetland preservation in other areas they  will have to develop and they will have to fill and the amount of fill that generally is required  will not allow any trees in that area to stay right so there there is no way to you know the  the city and and other cities are are governed by the base flood elevation and then the FEMA the  Federal Emergency Management Agency finish for elevation so there there are are requirements  that we can't wave that you have to get to and the only way that you're going to get to it is  by filling and and that is in the developable areas the areas that you see in color and then  the rest are to be preserved and they will be well well above what our tree and natural preservation  would be all right so all the developed area all the yellow and all the pretty colors will  be raised that 3 to 4 feet correct at least in the documents that I read and then all the green  will uh the wetlands and the green space will be left alone and so water will flow into that area  and those trees can be preserved yes not not only the wetlands there'll be an upland buffer and the  upland buffers too cor yep and and they they're required to do and they've already um done some  drainage and master studies they already have those in process but right now we're at a a  zoning level so we don't have those detailed I I understand that I'm just I figured this my  opportunity to kind of throw everything out there before you even get any further. Trails next thing  you saw there was two sets of trails one that um one that was in the plan and then what what  does constructed by adjacent development mean does that mean maybe will be created or maybe  not there were two colors you had a blue color of trails and you had a red color of Trails um  I didn't write down my page right I mean one could be developed by the master developer and the other  de developed by the subdivision developer so there's multiple developers in the project okay  the development order has extensive Trails both on the roadways and next to the environmental  areas so it is a multimodal design so but the individual developers it will be part of the  plan that they have to complete that that would be but it'll just be their responsibility to do  it but it can't be like erased not without coming to the commission and removing those requirements  um okay final question final answer we're working on some new landscape ordinances with our Land  Development code are we going to be able to get these into this project or is this project going  to be developed without the changes so ordinance the in the 2013 ordinance established landscape  standards it's a it's a vested document that the city doesn't have the ability to change it would  it's it's a contract so even in the even in the city if we have a higher standard we can't hold  them to that higher standard well so I haven't done a comparison of of this the 2013 document  versus the the new landscape update so I can't tell you if it's higher the same or less so can  we have that discussion maybe with the developer he's standing right behind I'd love to okay thank  you thank you Deputy Mayor I'm I I apologize guys but this is this is really important no  that was really good stuff it was great yep uh any other questions for the planning director okay hello good evening my name is Jamie Palus with Palus and Bennett 2602 East Livingston Street Orlando  Florida um here representing the applicant um we have a short presentation but is really just the  items that Steve showed with the actual changes if you'd like us to go through it we can if not we  can answer questions any questions well I guess my question I'm I'm so sorry so the this the city is  we are in the process of looking at all our landscape code we're trying to create a more  native environment and more um green Greener Community um and there's been some changes in tree  trees plants Etc I would love it if you would it it has not been passed it hasn't even gone through  the planning board yet but I I have high hopes that that this will come to fruition at some point  would that be something that you could consider um keeping um increasing native plants making shade  tree um canopies within the community I mean we have this is our opportunity to to do the right  thing and to develop beautifully and I would love to see you all do that well we could definitely  review the code and have we'll have the landscape architect uh we'll ask them to take a look  just was Steven was saying compare yeah uh it's not wild and crazy it really isn't it's just  reasonable yeah just turn to the plan here um so we have this is blown further vers further away  version but we have had a lot of meetings with the design team with the landscape architect  with the developer with the home builder uh with the uh theming and branding design company about  we've walked the whole site we've looked at kind of key areas kind of Jewel areas of Oak hammocks  of existing canals uh Prairie areas and try to really shape the plan that you see up there to  really preserve and incorporate a lot of those uh as many of those as possible so really for months  we've sort of been going down that general direction already on this property yeah um  so having said that um I will definitely have like ask landscape architect to look at the code to see  what the differences are and then you know we may already be meeting some of the some of the changes  I love the fact that you did you kept all that green in that those areas and I mean it it does  look nice and the way you cluster things does open up more green space so I I am appreciative of that  I'm just I'm just being extremely cautious now and careful you know yeah and as Steve said we  did develop the plan to minimize wetland impacts there are some Wetland impacts but we tried to  focus those on uh just small isolated Wetlands or Road Crossings but yeah all the light green area  you see up there will be preserved as well as um really miles of Upland buffers surrounding those  the light blue areas that you can see scattered throughout that is 100-year flood plane that we're  not impacting in fact we may actually excavate it out to provide more flood plane and then  the dark blue are ponds um like you said the the multicolors are the lots and then the parks are  the darker green there's a total of 45 Acres of parks including a um I think it turned out to be  a 28 acre 30 acre um or 22 acre city park that we've worked with the parks department and not only the  location of it but the general dimensions of it and the adjacency to the other factors in  the plan I do think it will be a a development and it's been um it's been thought of to the  whole design process of sort of incorporating the nature that's out there today and using it  uh for the development it's a nice it's a nice concept plan it really is I applaud you on it it  looks very nice thank you commissioner Sargent I just would like to say thank you I think it looks  good I like how you're not coming and asking for an increase of density and I would you you know  Echo what commissioner Deputy Mayor Tolland says if you could incorporate more native plants um but  with that I would make a motion to move approval commissioner Deaton I would also like to say thank  you for not increasing the density um and you know what Deputy Mayor I'm going to give this  one to you I'd love to see some more tree coverage some native plants we'll give it to you um if you  could look into that I'd be appreciative thank you commissioner Briley and I just uh will echo  the the the comments I guess there and there may be an opport for decreasing the density going for  the single family so right for that area y that's great thank you and i' just like to add to that I  I I agree with the commission here too about you know um you know preserving some of the nature  and uh things like that so I really appreciate that thank you deputy mayor for that all the  information I'll second the motion any discussion no call the vote please commissioner Deaton yes  commissioner Briley yes commissioner Tolland

and again on January 21st I'm pleased to  report that we will be reopening the Performing Arts Center doors after the uh unfortunate fire  we had there the Children's Music Theater Workshop will present Disney's Finding Nemo  kids and SpongeBob Musical Youth Edition this weekend so it'll be our first show and how  appropriate for the young people to be stars of that so tickets are available for $25 for  adults and $20 for children um I'm also pleased to announce that we are um Crowder Gulf is our  debris removal contractor and they are making their second and final pass throughout the city  with an expected completion date with within the next two weeks um so far they have had 55 days of  debris collection post hurricane with 90 days um being the requirement to get 100% reimburse  if you're not aware the governor said that if cities could get their debris removal um  conducted within 90 days that he would wave the um uh 12 a half % of the city's share of  debris removal FEMA gives you uh 50% um the the um state would give you um 50% 75 so we get 100% if we get it done so we're feel very confident um uh thus far we've  had 2100 truckloads of vegetation collected for approximately 87,000 cubic yards of debris so  that's that's a lot of debris um so I just bring your attention to that the 40th annual Gala um  at the casements will begin Friday December 6 from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. there will  be a tree lighting in Santa's arrival it's free to everybody uh it's a great festive  holiday time so I encourage everybody to to get out there and see that that's Saturday December  7th and Sunday December 8 from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. there's a gallery of trees every year inside  the casements and they have um entertainment homemade arts and crafts and Santa will be there  um movies on the Halifax just a specific note for council member Kent that on Friday December  13th will be elf at Rockefeller Garden so we're happy to announce that uh the 33rd annual home for  the holiday we parade will kick off on Saturday December 14th and uh we'll have uh tree lighting  ceremony beginning at 6:00 pm. here um and then at 6:30 the parade will start uh breakfast for with  Santa I'm sorry to say you're too late if you didn't sign up for breakfast with Santa because  it's officially sold out and but you can still have your child send a letter to Santa um there's  a red um mailbox right there at the casements and um if you drop a envelope in there you will  receive a personalized letter back for your child for Christmas it's a very very popular item so um  no no no cost for it it's 100% free we just want the little ones to know that Santa's watching  this whole time so uh keep in mind and just uh for clarification every year every year the city has  salty Church puts out the nativity scene they typically put it out the day or two before the  holiday parade so they will be putting it out um probably Wednesday or Thursday of this week  additionally every year every year the uh Jewish synagogue is permitted to have a a Manora there  but please keep in mind their religious calendar is long this year so they won't be putting up the  Manora until Christmas day that at sundown so that won't start till the December 25th so I  I just want to be certain that people understand that we are a city that celebrates Christmas and  the holiday and every year we do that so thank you and good night thank you Joyce uh assistant city  manager Shawn nothing okay did Claire have anything no okay City attorney Randy nothing Mayor thank you okay and then I'm going to start with uh commissioner Sargent tonight me your last I know  I'm thank you Mr Mayor uh I'd like say thank you to Public Work Shawn Finley and staff you you have  an amazing staff had a phone call at emergency last week at about 3:00 at the office and one  of the fiber optic optic companies drilled into a reclaimed water and flooded uh I mean it was  flooding the street all over the place and your team was out there and and rectified the situation  in a great manner so thank you um also on December 1st of last year we lost officer Bakaysa it's been one  year already he died from a medical issue um in the line of duty so just remember his family as  you know we go into the holidays um as they're going through that loss so um and I just would  like to say thank you to staff we have a great staff here all of everyone from the top down the  transparency that we have um everyone that works here loves the city and really I feel has the best  interest of the city at heart and I just like to say thank you um councilman Kent thank you for  joining us this evening he's not paying attention he's not paying attention and uh I'd just like to  say merry Christmas and happy holidays and we'll see you next year thank you thank you commissioner  Sargent commissioner Deaton I'm hoping everyone had a pleasant Thanksgiving um we were fortunate  enough to spend Thanksgiving at our home in North Georgia giving us some cooler weather and some  much needed family time this week we're attending the Florida League of cities conference in Orlando  I'm excited for that tomorrow I will be attending the Ormond Beach officer of the year and I'll be  attending the no longer fatherless Gala this weekend um we do have a number of events coming  up this month that I am looking forward to um this past week our community unfortunately lost  an important Ascent um Carl lens Rick was not only a veteran but also a pillar in our community  serving on many local boards for a number of years I just encourage you to keep his family  and your thoughts um I'd like to close by thanking city manager Joyce Shanahan City attorney Randy  and the rest of the city staff for being so helpful during this onboarding process they  have been readily available Day evening and weekend I'm just very appreciative of their  ongoing support and guidance and with that I hope everyone has a good night thank you commissioner  Deaton commissioner Briley thank you Mr Mayor um one thing I I just kind of want to bring up I  have been getting phone calls the last couple of weeks I'm sure like other Commissioners um  still getting phone calls I know Shawn's getting as well and because I've been calling Shawn regarding  flooding and uh I know we have a we've talked about having a flooding uh Workshop or Workshop  regarding flooding coming up uh next year and I'm sure I imagine staff's probably just trying to  pull together list of identifying those areas where we're having calls complaints to where  we can see what might be able to be done uh in those areas I think we also talk too we'd like  to talk about what you know proactive measures the city took because we actually took proactive  measures prior to the storm getting here by pumping down some retention ponds what have you to to reduce some  of that flooding risk um so that's just one thing I don't know about y'all and I haven't talked to  Shawn about this yet but I figured I'd bring it up here because you know this is our opportunity to  you know talk about things in the public um I'm getting a lot of phone calls about the medians  the median extensions at A1A and Granada and I um not only A1A in granada knows T night to US1  in Granada where they're going out further in the intersection apparently A1A in Granada has caused  a lot I get I've probably gotten over a dozen phone calls people pulling trailers are clipping  that median uh I guess there's a question now if Publix's uh delivery trucks will be able to make  the turn when they're coming down from the Ormond mall to the Granada location um there's just a lot  of problems and I think we maybe I don't know if we can talk to do about it but I'm getting a lot  of complaints I don't know and again I figure maybe uh Lori and Travis since that's over in  y'all's area if y'all getting complaints or not but I'm getting a lot of complaints yeah I have  not received any calls but I have seen just today a trailer going over the median trying to make a  turn yeah yeah yeah I agree I've gotten some phone calls on it too and I've experienced it  firsthand with my vehicle yeah and even people would not even pulling a trailer they just you  know say how they have to you know make that make that make that more difficult turn now it's it's  I guess it's you know if if the Public's seeing a problem with it we need to see what we can do  to address it with do um looking forward to this weekend's Christmas parade it should be a grand  time and uh since this is our last meeting for the year want to wish everybody happy holidays  and we'll see you next year thank you very much thank you commissioner Briley yeah uh I did going  back to the storm drains um I remember the meeting I think it was back in November October that there  was talk about maybe doing a workshop on it um do we have anything in the plans for that planing did have a work a me a public meeting two weeks ago that was for those who were affected  by the flooding um it was to work with the the engineer Pegasus engineering to help those who  were were subject to flooding in their homes um help them to fill out some of the applications for  some of the the um grants that are available through FEMA so we did did do that me Steven  Steven's Department worked real hard at pulling that together um we don't have a meeting right  now set up or a workshop set up currently for to discuss um flooding issues we're we're puting some  things together as Steven mentioned we recently put an application in through the the um through  Volusia County to do some studies we've got some other things um that we're working on in some  other areas one of the we one of the areas that we um are going to be studying in addition to Durance  acres is the area north of of Granada Boulevard um South to up north to the middle school that  that area that's really kind of our priority area I think the next decade like Central Park  was the previous decade as we get some more more information as we get a little bit further along  I think that's a great idea to to get you all up to speed with with some of the things that we're  doing some of those issues that um we've been hearing about some of the things that we're doing  to to to try and work towards those and also to hear some of the things that maybe you have heard  as well um as always though if you hear something if there's individuals who are bringing things to  your attention bring them to our attention and we will definitely look at them on a case by Case  basis Shawn are you put together kind of putting together a list of the the area complt we getting  I kind of figured you were we got we've got a we've got we've got multiple lists okay um  we've got the list that that were those houses that experienced flooding inside them um we've  also got those areas that we we worked on with um through that storm water master plan those are  some of the the known culprits with this hurricane we had some new culprits we had some new ones that  that we hadn't seen before um we met you and Joyce met out behind behind the new Tomoka elementary  school that's on our list now so one of the things that the third one that we're looking at are some  of those micro studies of those areas where we see we saw some really concentrated very localized but  very real problems and so um that's one of the one of the areas we're going to look at we're going to  look at um hidden hidden Hills um and some of some of some other ones around town so there there's  there's no no lack of of of of of areas that that that we have seen here we're seeing some new areas  that that we've had seen flood that we've never seen flood before um we're going to try and stay  out ahead of it um and and really take a look at them so as we get a little bit further in  I think that you know that's something you know probably you know the timing may be later in the  spring as we get ready for for Budget time that that might be an ideal time to to look  do I think commissioner a question for you I just think that after a hurricane or after  these you know a hurricane season maybe if we just did like an after action report to identify  what we did great what needs Improvement and you know maybe just learn from learn  from everything I think that would be helpful not just necessarily focused on flooding thank you and going back oh sorry Deputy Mayor thank you um so talking about that conversation cause I know  I think the last commission meeting I had asked about that as well um not only to the flooding but  I think we had talked about getting information on our infrastructure I mean we've had a lot of  breakage you know during storms I and I know we're repairing it with that liner and all that but do  we need do we need to look at or can we look at where all the older infrastructure is should we  be patchworking it or should we be looking at do we need to do bigger stronger pipes um and then  if that if that's the case and that's what we need to do do we take it back to the residents  to see how we pay for it yeah so I'd like it to be more extensive and and really have a workshop okay  just add that when we do our strategic planning one of my initiatives is on that and because  what we learned at the National League of cities one of the classes I took was that we can use AI  to upload our infrastructure and they can help predict certain things on on what infrastructure  pipes are going to need fixing next they also have Google has a thing called flood Hub where they can  predict floods up to 5 to seven days ahead of time using AI using um rainfall um Tides moon  phases everything uh with AI that can help predict these things a lot ahead of time so that's part  of what I look forward to doing with our our goal setting meetings um going forward thank  you yeah I also like to add too that you know I think that you what what I don't want to see is  just putting Band-Aids on things um and I see that sometimes and and you know we have technology on  some of these storm drains from probably the 50s or 60s and you know technology has you know really  Advanced just like commissioner Sargent has said so I like to really have that conversation  and let's you know instead of putting a bandid on it let's just fix it once and for all yeah good  bring that back to you closer to the budget time we'll do share with you the after action but it's  really kind of a budget um and we need some time to prepare that we've been working on that I mean  we've been actively uh repairing and anytime that we can upgrade a line when it's broken we will do  that we don't wait for um because we have funds in the budget to be able to do that so we don't wait  we just don't Shawn doesn't patchwork anything one of you know not to be labor this too much because we  and I'm have't talked to any of you individually we you know we have a utilities master plan we've  identified a lot of that we are currently in our fifth fifth um project that is water main  replacement um many of you have heard me say many times that we have to handle water main  replacement similarly to our our our um roadway resurfacing you don't see the you don't see the  the pipes underground getting bad like you see a roadway getting getting raveled and and getting  potholes but we need to we need to work on those and we do that by identifying those those those  streets those pipes that have many that have a history of breakage have a history of poor water  quality have a history of poor pressure we are expanding that we're we're looking at and the the  example on on Riverside Drive is a perfect example are not just looking at now water mains but also  looking at our or pressurized sewer sewer veins um we do we do a lot of the gravity the lining  of the gravity is the is the best one we can do the um so we line those gravity pipes which is  essentially putting a new pipe inside that pipe um it's very non-invasive um we we I appreciate  everybody's concern and we we try our best I it it kills me to think that we would even patch  that we even put a Band-Aid on it we really want to give our our our residents the best quality  um utilities that's that's that's that's that's really the the charge of our utilities department  is to do that and by do you know when I say we've on our fifth water main replacement that's Fifth  Fifth where we've got done one on a on a North pin one on a South pen one on the mainland so  we're at about 12th our 12th one in the past 10 years that we've done so that that's a lot  of miles of water main that we replace that's an easy one for us to identify and do the sewer  ones are the next ones and so that those are some of the things we we will never come to the end of  doing that that's something that we will always be doing similarly to always replacing and always  resurfacing roadways so um our infra structure we take a lot of pride in it our our people take a  lot of pride in in in in the utilities department in public works and and so we want to make sure  that they have the best facilities that that they can maintain it makes life a lot easier  for them when they're when they are not spending their time spinning their wheels um because it's  something that we can do better of and and that that that's really we owe it to our residents  as well as our staff to do that thank you I've never known our St I I didn't mean that like to  um just a piggyback on you uh commissioner Briley about the fdot concern with the roadways on A1A  and and Granada is there any possible way to you know have to do like a sit down with fdot or just  have a discussion with them about our concerns and and we we we meet with them regularly and  I just got um word from Alex Schuman that they will be the media and Granada at A1A is being  shorter shortened this week so they they they as many many concerns as we've heard people  know that it's a DOT project they've shared those word those concerns with do dot is making  making modifications as as we speak so um you know that's a testament to the fact that people reach  out to everybody as well as the fact that staff communicates to do and some of the other agencies  we've um do has regular progress meetings that we attend um you know nearly every one of those  on those projects such as this Granada project so so that one the one at Granada and A1A is going  to be addressed we'll take a look at some of the other ones if if there's some other ones like um  sounds like the one at Halifax and in Granada is probably another one us and US1 so we'll  we'll we'll we'll pass along to them far as I can say yeah so we'll we'll we'll take a look that  we'll mention to them that we have heard multiple concerns about those as well awesome and I'd like  to also just comment about the debris cleanup and uh you guys did a great job um to be ahead  of schedule I know we had some email I had some emails come in from residents and you know we took  care of that so thank you Shawn for doing that uh great job uh great job by Joyce by the way and  great job by City attorney for helping us with some of the questions we had early on in the  meeting about some of the things and I'd like to thank everyone that came out tonight and you still  have me huh I haven't had my final oh I'm sorry you know what we bounced around so much I didn't  realize that that's okay I'm sorry Deputy Mayor that's okay I I feel I I I feel a little hurt but  that's okay um I just want to just let everyone know that the regrow the loop 2025 is active um  they've us they're establishing a calendar of events for all the residents um to enjoy um  and they are still collaborating with all the the notable stakeholders that were involved last year  and again I want to thank um Troy Kent for for getting that started in the county and I'm and  hoping hoping that other cities keep picking up on that um I did enjoy listening to Lisa Lewis the  supervisor of elections discuss um uh the recent election and applaud and applauded an amazing  voter turnout in accuracy and Reporting she really does an unbelievable job in Volusia county and and  um you never have to worry when she's in charge um and I'm looking forward to attending our Florida  League of cities legislative conference tomorrow um and I only have one more new piece of business  and it's it's a request um and it's actually a request given to me I can't take credit from  Alan Burton and um he he he made a suggestion and I think it's very I think it it's worthy of  consideration and I would like this commission to consider changing um the Leisure Services  Department to Department of Parks and Recreation it makes more sense it's more descriptive  um and I will read his comments on that and also his other suggestion was when we update our um  our goals for our um con concept plans that we change um losing my mind um to Park forestry and  the recreation element goal as opposed to what it is now let me read what he wrote uh the con  concepts of open space and Leisure Services are a throwback to the 20th century as we  look to the future of Ormond Beach through our comprehensive plans for the 21st century 2045  which is what we're working on we can use more synergistic terms that are more congruent to Our  Land Development code master plans budget and organizational operations for example we have  a recent Park and Recreation master plan dated 2022 so why not have a department of parks and  Recreation to implement the master plan um the open space is minimally um present in the goals  and objectives of the existing element it needs to be updated Leisure Services is an abstract concept  of a state of being or State of Mind however Recreation is a legitimate use of government  and can be defined by place time and activity so my recommendation would be if you all would  would consider that to change Leisure Services to Department of Parks and Recreation I don't see any issues with it but um can we Randy can we do that it's it will be  a lot of work but um it's require uh one or more changes to ordinances and we'll have to look to  see if there's any other overlapping documents that may may need to reflect your changes so um  you know it seems like a minor thing but it's it's it's a lot of work it's it's a big thing  and it's it maybe something that you want to get some more background information on and  have a discussion about it so that you can give a good informed direction to your staff and then  based on that direction you know my office will know what we need to do to to make that happen  or to do something different too so okay that would be my recommendation and I'd be curious  we could do the research and I think like Randy said because it used to be called The Parks and  Recreation division before it was leisure Services it was called parks and wck back in the ' 80s '70s  60 70s ' 80s uh I don't think it changed to Leisure Services until maybe the mid 90s and I don't know  why there was the change of the name of the the department um but it used to be parks and rec for  years and I've always I still call it parks and rec I don't always call you tell people  you're on a board there you say Leisure Services they kind of question you but Leisure Services seems  kind of broad it's like it would seem broad or vague yeah yeah anyway so how I me I support I  support that I just don't know I'm I'm just curious why they were changed it from Parks  and direct to leisure services so you want to just take a look at it then Joyce yeah let's  staff take a look at it we'll um talk to Robert and we'll come back with you with something just so  you know where we're at and how we would proceed of course and it it's nothing urgent it was just  every every time we have a meeting it's like at the end of my list of things and I was like well  this is our last meeting so I'm going to throw it out there now um and then with that I just  want to say Merry Christmas and happy New Year and really appreciate all of our residents I  appreciate the staff and I appreciate this new commission so thank you thank you Deputy Mayor  and I'm sorry to leave you out there at the end oh please it's okay I well this is my time to say  thank you to everyone that came out tonight um I you know it's been a busy couple weeks for me as  you can imagine um I did have a chance to meet up with the the Boy Scouts uh that was a lot of fun  there's two brothers that are actually going to go up for Eagle Scout so they're going to  do uh two Eagle Scout projects so I'm excited to see what's going to happen with that um for some  of you that don't know but um Will Roberts our tax uh collector his father passed away so um  just keep his family in your prayers uh Will's a good guy you know he's our tax collector um we do  have the uh conference this week so I'm excited about that be my first time attending I'd like to  thank the uh staff for all their help in this transition and uh it's been a really pleasant  experience and uh I'm looking forward to uh keep going here um I did uh uh attend a um a little  Memorial yesterday for officer Bakaysa um that was really nice and I'd like to thank Chief Godfrey  and uh the rest of the officers that put that together um but one of
