Which is the 12th month of. 00:03:45
Our fiscal year FY25. 00:03:47
How the reports are on a cash basis? 00:03:50
Umm, I do want to point out to you. 00:03:54
That these numbers are not our final numbers. 00:03:57
For the end of the fiscal year FY25. 00:04:00
We are in the middle of preparing for our audit right now, so those numbers will change. 00:04:03
So are there any questions? 00:04:09
No, thank you. 00:04:14
Man, OK. Thank you, Miss Lee, Thank you. 00:04:15
And now we'll have our. 00:04:21
City Manager. 00:04:23
Good evening, Mayor. 00:04:27
Citizens. 00:04:28
I realized. 00:04:31
When at our last meeting we talked about the placement and the moving of the flags and that sort of stuff. 00:04:32
And we had done some preliminary investigations to determine that the flags were. 00:04:38
Supposed to be set up Center for what you are seeing. 00:04:42
And I'll give credit where credit is due. Mr. 00:04:46
Joe Marino did do necessary investigative work and spent countless. 00:04:49
Time and reviewing and we are still set up on. 00:04:55
So that correction will be made. Thank you, Mr. 00:04:58
Or for that insight, I just want to go ahead and put myself on the sword, so to speak. 00:05:02
I had the gate. 00:05:07
So anyway, moving ahead. 00:05:09
We're excited to welcome the new Honey Badgers for this month's Music in the Park concert on Saturday, August the 9th. 00:05:12
From 6 to 8 at the Saint Mary's War. 00:05:19
Front part. 00:05:21
Blankets, lawn chairs and bug spray are recommended. 00:05:22
Bring a picnic or food from your favorite restaurant or enjoy treats from the lobster dogs. 00:05:25
Are all foods matters? 00:05:31
And. 00:05:34
Shaved ice food trucks. 00:05:35
So that put that on your calendar. That is a free event. 00:05:38
Despite the heat. 00:05:44
Friday's Alive After 5 was another fantastic. 00:05:45
Night in downtown Saint Mary's. 00:05:49
We're looking forward. 00:05:52
To the next alive. 00:05:53
After five event. 00:05:55
Which is set for September the 12th. 00:05:57
And the following after that will be October the 17th. 00:06:00
And for our Wildcat fans, that is. 00:06:04
Away games. 00:06:07
Just till I throw that little. 00:06:09
Tidbit information out there. 00:06:10
It is it is a wonderful event if you haven't had the opportunity to come. 00:06:14
Food trucks on. 00:06:18
Up and down. 00:06:20
I was going straight and it's a fantastic time. 00:06:22
Had an update with our developer of the Gateway project. 00:06:25
It seems that there's been some. 00:06:29
Confusion. 00:06:32
From my last report, I was corrected by the one that actually knew this time. 00:06:33
I'm I'm engaging on CB here. This is sugar straightened me out this afternoon. 00:06:39
And I called her to get an update. 00:06:45
All the paperwork has been submitted to DNR. 00:06:46
For the Phase 2. 00:06:50
Of the project. 00:06:52
Now it's on to them. 00:06:53
To set the timeline and everything, and as soon as we get that timeline, we'll bring that back to council. 00:06:55
That's when the digging will. 00:07:01
Proceed. They'll get everything done. 00:07:03
And they'll be able to move from there. 00:07:06
The JDA continues to work through the bankruptcy with the courts. 00:07:10
On the Jacobi project. 00:07:14
We're unsure of the exact status, but we're hearing positive comments. So that's that's what I know about that at this time. 00:07:16
In relations to our conversations earlier this evening. And he wasn't here and he's probably going to smack me when I walk back 00:07:24
behind. 00:07:28
But Mr. Blackaby and I have been working through. 00:07:31
Discussions on ordinance. 00:07:35
For the maintenance of privately owned culverts through the city. 00:07:37
We were hoping to have something for you here in the very near future. 00:07:40
However, with tonight's conversation of the possibility of. 00:07:45
Revolving thing and all that. 00:07:49
We'll go ahead and try and work that in and incorporate that as well. 00:07:51
Which that's news to him. So. 00:07:54
That's why he's going to smack me. 00:07:58
A public works has been having several demos and equipment. 00:08:00
The street sweeper beam. 00:08:05
One of the main ones. 00:08:07
They've been looking at models that do not require a CDL. 00:08:09
Which would allow for normal drivers license holder to operate. 00:08:13
The piece of equipment. 00:08:17
We are hoping in the next week or so to begin the purchasing process. 00:08:19
They've also been looking at small mowing units that can fit into small right of way areas. 00:08:23
Like between houses. 00:08:28
But crews of four or more people have been working. 00:08:30
Have had to. 00:08:33
There, you're spending a whole day. 00:08:35
These devices are able to clean them up in 30 minutes. 00:08:37
Or less, which makes it be more effective and more efficient. 00:08:41
In the long run when you think about it. 00:08:46
We'll have more on that. 00:08:49
As details come out. 00:08:51
Mr. Williams has been working on the RFP for the reconstruction of the tennis courts at the Aquatic Park. 00:08:53
We're hoping to get this done this week and being able to send it out bid. 00:08:59
Send. 00:09:03
So this is. 00:09:06
My life for Council. 00:09:09
Listening public and for. 00:09:11
Citizens in the room. 00:09:13
Please be aware of the traffic. 00:09:14
Right now in the weather. 00:09:16
We are rapidly approaching the peak of the season, which normally the peak is around September 10th each and every year. 00:09:18
Due to historical data and that sort of stuff, but we are seeing some increased activity in the tropics. 00:09:26
To include a low pressure spinning off just off the coast. 00:09:33
From us. 00:09:37
With the possibility of a westerly or northwesterly track. 00:09:38
Meaning that we're gonna have. 00:09:43
Wind and rain so. 00:09:44
Everybody please make the appropriate plans. 00:09:47
And. 00:09:50
Pay attention to trusted weather sources. 00:09:51

And that sort of stuff. 00:09:56

Projects. 00:10:14

That has not started. 00:10:23
The Bowen Court. 00:10:25
Rehab. 00:10:26
Depending on what happened with the weather and where they got on the project. 00:10:30
It could have possibly been completed today. 00:10:34
Umm, the mission trace. 00:10:37
Peak circle area. The pavement overlay is complete. 00:10:40

Striping will be completed as. 00:12:47
Completed is approximately 2 weeks. 00:12:51
That is dependent on the weather and if you've been tracking what's going on, the weather, like I just said, we're probably 00:12:53
looking a couple of weeks of rain in the afternoons. 00:12:57
So, Mr. Mayor, that completes my report receiving. 00:13:01
Thank you, Robbie. 00:13:05
All right, we'll move on with the setting of our consent agenda. 00:13:08

Larry White, 102 Sylvia Court, St. Mary's. 00:14:26
One thing that the city manager got this. 00:14:30
Seeing his report that. 00:14:32
This week starting Wednesday. 00:14:34
School starts in Camden County. 00:14:36
So I'd like to make sure that everybody's aware of that. 00:14:38
And drive accordingly on the city's. 00:14:41
Streets also. That leads me into my second point. 00:14:43
I'd like to give a. 00:14:48
Shout out to the Police Department. 00:14:49
We're putting a steel limit sign. 00:14:51
On Nickel Drive. 00:14:53
Just as you get to the bridge. 00:14:54
Before you get. 00:14:56
Before you get to Mary Lee Clark Elementary School. 00:14:57
That's a good point. 00:15:00
Keep the people from speeding. 00:15:02
Going directly to school. 00:15:04
But it doesn't stop him from coming from. 00:15:06
Where I live. 00:15:08
Going out to. 00:15:09
Chlorine Rd. 00:15:10
My last point. 00:15:13
I attended your work session. 00:15:15
About the storm water maintenance. 00:15:17
Plan that you were discussing when to implement this. 00:15:20
You were talking about trying to do it by the end of this year. 00:15:25
Or by the end of the fiscal year. 00:15:28
I'm going to say if you try to do it by the end of this year. 00:15:31
You're going to have more citizens coming to the City Council meeting. 00:15:33
And complaining to the City Council. 00:15:36
About this new. 00:15:38
That you're implementing. 00:15:40
Because I don't care how you say it. 00:15:41
For how you do it, you're not going to get the word out to everybody in Saint Mary's. 00:15:43
About this waste stormwater management system. 00:15:47
So the longer you take. 00:15:50
The better chance you have. 00:15:51
Of getting the word out to everybody. 00:15:53
In Saint Mary's. 00:15:55
Thank you. 00:15:56
Thank you. 00:15:58
Bird Seeds 816 Riverview Dr. 00:16:11
I I just want. 00:16:17
Get a clarification on the. 00:16:20
The breakout full. 00:16:26
The three things. 00:16:29
Contenzabal. 00:16:30
An overview of the city revenues. 00:16:35
An expenditure for June. 00:16:38
I am. 00:16:40
I see the Saint Mary's. 00:16:44
That is good. 00:16:47
From see where it you look at in the negative. 00:16:50
So it was 31,575. 00:16:54
Last time was 30,875 S. 00:16:58
In a negative, however, except No 4. 00:17:02
I think that's manageable. 00:17:06
Looking at the Aquatic Center. 00:17:07
The final four, 4.908. 00:17:13
And. 00:17:17
The expenditure. 00:17:19
Or the shortfall of 340? 00:17:21
635. 00:17:23
Last month was one 64685. Sorry. 00:17:25
I'm hoping. 00:17:28
The increase in the negative. 00:17:29
If you could explain that. 00:17:33
I would think of maybe those pumps that we put into the alcoholic center. I'm not too sure. 00:17:35
Either correct center. 00:17:39
You know, I know that it's a big jump in the negative. 00:17:42
So and again. 00:17:45
You know, the math is kind of. 00:17:48
I lose track of the maths on them. The stomach was fun. 00:17:50
You know the waste funnel was three million 331. 00:17:55
And then you got. 00:18:00
Was 3003 million 381. 00:18:02
When the shortfall of 50,422. 00:18:05
Another scene available cash was. 00:18:08
323. 00:18:12
459. 00:18:15
The last time. 00:18:17
293. 00:18:21
768. 00:18:23
I can't figure out. I can't figure out the short as soon as it's going to. 00:18:26
Where does it will be coming down? 00:18:31
Maybe he's a math, maybe I'm lost on it. It's only a solid week spot. 00:18:33
So a big part of that was the. 00:18:40
The JIMA funds that. 00:18:42
We have received now, but they were received after June 30th. 00:18:44
So that will take care of a large portion of. 00:18:48
Of that. 00:18:51
Like I said, they the funds weren't received until after. 00:18:53
This financial report closed out, but we did get reimbursed for the JIMA. 00:18:56
For the disaster. 00:19:00
Funds for the hurricane that clean up the pickup. 00:19:01
That was unexpected. 00:19:04
Expense, you know those funds did come in. 00:19:07
But they came in after. 00:19:09
OK. You know, after June 30th, so not reflected here. 00:19:11
All right, and that's all I got. 00:19:14
Thank you, Sir. 00:19:17
And with the Aquatic Center, you know, we did have. 00:19:19
Pumps, the pumps, but also, you know, we ended up losing, you know, 8 or 10 days of revenue as well while the park was closed 00:19:23
while that was happening, so. 00:19:26
Kind of a double whammy there that. 00:19:30
It's a one time thing, hopefully. 00:19:32
And this animal, Mr. Mayor? 00:19:33
Real quick if I may, and I'm sorry, please come on. 00:19:35
I just missed something in my managers. We're going to make sure everybody's aware that we have our property sack. 00:19:38
Property Property tax. 00:19:45
Sell tomorrow. 00:19:47
Starting at 10:00 in this room. 00:19:49
OK. Thanks for delinquent taxes now. 00:19:52
So Shirley Sessions, 114 Boston Court. 00:19:54
I wanted to ask is there what is the reason that? 00:19:59
Waste management doesn't pick up tires. 00:20:02
I see a lot of tires be out. 00:20:05
Or pick up but. 00:20:07
They don't pick them up and then they just sit there and sit there and sit there. Are they evil? 00:20:09
On the side of all. 00:20:14
The paramedic complex. 00:20:17
And I want to know. 00:20:19
Is what was the reason that you don't pick up? 00:20:21
Tires you really good about picking up bolts. 00:20:24
You know, the refrigerators and the stoves and all of that. 00:20:27
But what is it about the Taj that you will not pick up? 00:20:30
And dispose of. 00:20:33
And if you don't do that, what are we supposed to do with them? 00:20:35
Mr. Williams, can you address that possibly? 00:20:39
Real quick answers I don't know. 00:20:44
So I will. 00:20:46
So our. 00:20:49
What we can pick up on what we can't is based on the Camden County dump site. 00:20:50
But I will. 00:20:54
Find out where you can dispose of the tires. I know there are tire places that will pick them up and collect them, or there are 00:20:56
folks that recycle that. 00:20:59
And he probably knows because it's probably a fire hazard, to be honest. 00:21:02
They are a fire hazard, but that's made here, there. 00:21:06
The reason is they're. 00:21:10
Because of their their makeup of the tire is a petroleum based product. 00:21:12
Is considered a hazmat. 00:21:16
Problem project kinda like. 00:21:18
The paints you can't. 00:21:20
Put paint out there, you got the P. 00:21:22
Put the Kitty litter in the paint. Make sure it's all dropped. 00:21:24
Busted up, didn't throw the can away. 00:21:27
It's the same kind of thing. 00:21:30
And another thing, I think it would be a good thing if the city says everybody did a water bill. 00:21:33
A letter telling what they what you dispose of and what you can't. 00:21:38
Dispose of because I think a lot of people just don't know. 00:21:44
I have to call the city all the time to get the book pick up that need to be on so and so and so St. 00:21:48
And the people they, they don't know. So I think. 00:21:54
My personal opinion? 00:21:58
I think pressure will approachment. 00:22:00
They should be able to. 00:22:03
Let the rentals know. 00:22:05
Of what is allowed and. 00:22:07
And what is not allowed? 00:22:09
About especially about book pickup because I've seen book. 00:22:11
Pick up sit out for like. 00:22:15
Two weeks at a time. 00:22:17
And longer and, but every time I call and. 00:22:19
And give one. 00:22:22
City is really quick about coming and pick it up. 00:22:24
Picking them up funny. 00:22:27
So. 00:22:28
That's it. 00:22:29
Alvin Sprole, now 33 point. 00:22:38
I'm Speaking of 1/2 of. 00:22:41
Talk to the room. 00:22:42
I want to know why y'all. 00:22:44
Let those outside construction corpus. 00:22:47
That thoroughly waste way. 00:22:49
Bring it on point, Peter Rd. Senator, that chapter construction place out there. 00:22:51
Open nobody see it. 00:22:56
This is so I could community. 00:22:58
Coming to Harbor, people ride by there every day. 00:23:00
I ride body every day. I look to the right. 00:23:03
Two open construction places. 00:23:05
Everything wide open. 00:23:08
You know you want everybody. Y'all look beautiful. 00:23:10
They let those people know what their job on the base. 00:23:13
Breaking out of you just. 00:23:15
A store. 00:23:17
And I have to look in. 00:23:19
I paid taxes like everybody else. 00:23:20
Anybody you know something will be done? 00:23:24
And I heard you mentioned earlier about song. 00:23:27
I want to know why? 00:23:30
Y'all wait two days for a hurricane. Hurricane season is not. 00:23:34
What problems work? 00:23:39
To get saying to block our garage. 00:23:42
I'll talk about. 00:23:47
At last minute, then when you go. 00:23:50
Russell at the last minute. 00:23:55
Those stole out of bags. 00:23:58
So if you do it now. 00:24:01
Who had that problem? 00:24:03
Hair cases here now. 00:24:04
Why can we get our bags down? Put sand in our ears we need? 00:24:07
And they put out a lot. 00:24:10
OK, look into it for you. 00:24:14
Yeah, I was one step to be. 00:24:17
God react on especially. 00:24:19
Popular. That's a mess. 00:24:21
I've never seen her that long as I live in. 00:24:24
Yes, Sir, we talked about that Thursday night and yes. 00:24:26
Yes, ma'am. 00:24:31
Jerry Brumble, 08/05 Riverview Dr. West. 00:24:49
I want to thank you guys for. 00:24:54
Starting the process of. 00:24:55
Of taking over our wreck. 00:24:57
Stuff from. 00:24:59
It's going to really enhance the quality of life of the city once we get all that stuff done. 00:25:00
Appreciate that. 00:25:04
And reminds you like I said last time. 00:25:06
Voting is #1 recreation. 00:25:09
In the city we got two boat raps and they're not. 00:25:11
They're not good. 00:25:16
They need a lot of work. 00:25:18
So like, and a lot of voters have asked me to come tell you guys this stuff. 00:25:20
It's not just me stand up here saying it, but of course I observe it all the time. 00:25:25
But particularly meeting St. 00:25:29
Meeting St. needs. 00:25:31
To look like in DD Bartels and Fernandina. 00:25:33
If you guys ever been there? 00:25:37
They got a nice pavilion. 00:25:39
Restrooms. 00:25:41
And they got wind walls on the boat ramp so that you don't get washed under the dock on a high going tide like you do a meeting 00:25:43
St. like a guy got hurt last week doing. 00:25:47
So I'm glad to see James here because when we negotiate whatever deal we wind up doing at the deal over there, we need to have the 00:25:51
space to put that parking lot. 00:25:56
The wing walls. 00:26:01
The restrooms and all that over there. 00:26:02
And we don't own the current city footprint. 00:26:04
So thanks. 00:26:07
Thank you. 00:26:09
Yeah, Michael Wilson. 00:26:11
203 E Hall St. St. Marys. 00:26:19
And I just want to join in what he. 00:26:22
I live with my mom at 1000 horse. 00:26:25
Can I get to see things that happen down at that boat ramp every day? 00:26:29
I dress you with it. 00:26:33
Thirsty. 00:26:35
That was my baby. 00:26:38
I was on the kiss a boy. 00:26:40
That developed that. 00:26:43
And we going away from them. 00:26:47
What is supposed to be used for? 00:26:49
You're getting folders. 00:26:51
Coming in organ. 00:26:53
With people, that's fishing off the down. 00:26:55
You got to remember. 00:26:57
It wasn't designed. 00:26:58
For a fishing dog. 00:26:59
It was the launch boats. 00:27:01
The next thing is. 00:27:03
Every day. 00:27:05
You can find people part. 00:27:07
That's not fishing. 00:27:09
There even Parker Automobile. 00:27:10
Get out and get in the carpet somebody else. 00:27:12
And drive off. 00:27:14
And you don't have a boat trigger. 00:27:16
Behind the truck. 00:27:19
SUV and they can't find parking and that's 90% of the problem. 00:27:21
OK, the third problem. 00:27:26
That I. 00:27:28
And we can get in some serious trouble about it. 00:27:29
We as a city. 00:27:32
And all down the road and limbed up the trees. 00:27:35
But you got trees. 00:27:39
Oak trees that hangover. 00:27:40
The turn around, exit down. 00:27:42
I witnessed a guy from Eastman, GA. 00:27:46
Come along about a month ago. 00:27:48
And toward the top of his boat, off. 00:27:50
And it's going to cause a serious problem. 00:27:54
Thank you for listening. 00:27:56
Thank you. Thank you. 00:27:57

Which is the 12th month of. 00:03:45
Our fiscal year FY25. 00:03:47
How the reports are on a cash basis? 00:03:50
Umm, I do want to point out to you. 00:03:54
That these numbers are not our final numbers. 00:03:57
For the end of the fiscal year FY25. 00:04:00
We are in the middle of preparing for our audit right now, so those numbers will change. 00:04:03
So are there any questions? 00:04:09
No, thank you. 00:04:14
Man, OK. Thank you, Miss Lee, Thank you. 00:04:15
And now we'll have our. 00:04:21
City Manager. 00:04:23
Good evening, Mayor. 00:04:27
Citizens. 00:04:28
I realized. 00:04:31
When at our last meeting we talked about the placement and the moving of the flags and that sort of stuff. 00:04:32
And we had done some preliminary investigations to determine that the flags were. 00:04:38
Supposed to be set up Center for what you are seeing. 00:04:42
And I'll give credit where credit is due. Mr. 00:04:46
Joe Marino did do necessary investigative work and spent countless. 00:04:49
Time and reviewing and we are still set up on. 00:04:55
So that correction will be made. Thank you, Mr. 00:04:58
Or for that insight, I just want to go ahead and put myself on the sword, so to speak. 00:05:02
I had the gate. 00:05:07
So anyway, moving ahead. 00:05:09
We're excited to welcome the new Honey Badgers for this month's Music in the Park concert on Saturday, August the 9th. 00:05:12
From 6 to 8 at the Saint Mary's War. 00:05:19
Front part. 00:05:21
Blankets, lawn chairs and bug spray are recommended. 00:05:22
Bring a picnic or food from your favorite restaurant or enjoy treats from the lobster dogs. 00:05:25
Are all foods matters? 00:05:31
And. 00:05:34
Shaved ice food trucks. 00:05:35
So that put that on your calendar. That is a free event. 00:05:38
Despite the heat. 00:05:44
Friday's Alive After 5 was another fantastic. 00:05:45
Night in downtown Saint Mary's. 00:05:49
We're looking forward. 00:05:52
To the next alive. 00:05:53
After five event. 00:05:55
Which is set for September the 12th. 00:05:57
And the following after that will be October the 17th. 00:06:00
And for our Wildcat fans, that is. 00:06:04
Away games. 00:06:07
Just till I throw that little. 00:06:09
Tidbit information out there. 00:06:10
It is it is a wonderful event if you haven't had the opportunity to come. 00:06:14
Food trucks on. 00:06:18
Up and down. 00:06:20
I was going straight and it's a fantastic time. 00:06:22
Had an update with our developer of the Gateway project. 00:06:25
It seems that there's been some. 00:06:29
Confusion. 00:06:32
From my last report, I was corrected by the one that actually knew this time. 00:06:33
I'm I'm engaging on CB here. This is sugar straightened me out this afternoon. 00:06:39
And I called her to get an update. 00:06:45
All the paperwork has been submitted to DNR. 00:06:46
For the Phase 2. 00:06:50
Of the project. 00:06:52
Now it's on to them. 00:06:53
To set the timeline and everything, and as soon as we get that timeline, we'll bring that back to council. 00:06:55
That's when the digging will. 00:07:01
Proceed. They'll get everything done. 00:07:03
And they'll be able to move from there. 00:07:06
The JDA continues to work through the bankruptcy with the courts. 00:07:10
On the Jacobi project. 00:07:14
We're unsure of the exact status, but we're hearing positive comments. So that's that's what I know about that at this time. 00:07:16
In relations to our conversations earlier this evening. And he wasn't here and he's probably going to smack me when I walk back 00:07:24
behind. 00:07:28
But Mr. Blackaby and I have been working through. 00:07:31
Discussions on ordinance. 00:07:35
For the maintenance of privately owned culverts through the city. 00:07:37
We were hoping to have something for you here in the very near future. 00:07:40
However, with tonight's conversation of the possibility of. 00:07:45
Revolving thing and all that. 00:07:49
We'll go ahead and try and work that in and incorporate that as well. 00:07:51
Which that's news to him. So. 00:07:54
That's why he's going to smack me. 00:07:58
A public works has been having several demos and equipment. 00:08:00
The street sweeper beam. 00:08:05
One of the main ones. 00:08:07
They've been looking at models that do not require a CDL. 00:08:09
Which would allow for normal drivers license holder to operate. 00:08:13
The piece of equipment. 00:08:17
We are hoping in the next week or so to begin the purchasing process. 00:08:19
They've also been looking at small mowing units that can fit into small right of way areas. 00:08:23
Like between houses. 00:08:28
But crews of four or more people have been working. 00:08:30
Have had to. 00:08:33
There, you're spending a whole day. 00:08:35
These devices are able to clean them up in 30 minutes. 00:08:37
Or less, which makes it be more effective and more efficient. 00:08:41
In the long run when you think about it. 00:08:46
We'll have more on that. 00:08:49
As details come out. 00:08:51
Mr. Williams has been working on the RFP for the reconstruction of the tennis courts at the Aquatic Park. 00:08:53
We're hoping to get this done this week and being able to send it out bid. 00:08:59
Send. 00:09:03
So this is. 00:09:06
My life for Council. 00:09:09
Listening public and for. 00:09:11
Citizens in the room. 00:09:13
Please be aware of the traffic. 00:09:14
Right now in the weather. 00:09:16
We are rapidly approaching the peak of the season, which normally the peak is around September 10th each and every year. 00:09:18
Due to historical data and that sort of stuff, but we are seeing some increased activity in the tropics. 00:09:26
To include a low pressure spinning off just off the coast. 00:09:33
From us. 00:09:37
With the possibility of a westerly or northwesterly track. 00:09:38
Meaning that we're gonna have. 00:09:43
Wind and rain so. 00:09:44
Everybody please make the appropriate plans. 00:09:47
And. 00:09:50
Pay attention to trusted weather sources. 00:09:51
I the guys on the TV. 00:09:54
And that sort of stuff. 00:09:56

Projects. 00:10:14

That has not started. 00:10:23
The Bowen Court. 00:10:25
Rehab. 00:10:26
Depending on what happened with the weather and where they got on the project. 00:10:30
It could have possibly been completed today. 00:10:34
Umm, the mission trace. 00:10:37
Peak circle area. The pavement overlay is complete. 00:10:40

Stripping on the new asphalt. 00:12:44
Striping will be completed as. 00:12:47
Completed is approximately 2 weeks. 00:12:51
That is dependent on the weather and if you've been tracking what's going on, the weather, like I just said, we're probably 00:12:53
looking a couple of weeks of rain in the afternoons. 00:12:57
So, Mr. Mayor, that completes my report receiving. 00:13:01
Thank you, Robbie. 00:13:05
All right, we'll move on with the setting of our consent agenda. 00:13:08
And we have no old business. 00:13:15
Under new business, we have a budget ordinance amendment. 00:13:17

Granting audience to the public. 00:14:11
Come to the microphone, give us your name and. 00:14:13
Address please and respect the five minute time frame please. 00:14:15
Larry White, 102 Sylvia Court, St. Mary's. 00:14:26
One thing that the city manager got this. 00:14:30
Seeing his report that. 00:14:32
This week starting Wednesday. 00:14:34
School starts in Camden County. 00:14:36
So I'd like to make sure that everybody's aware of that. 00:14:38
And drive accordingly on the city's. 00:14:41
Streets also. That leads me into my second point. 00:14:43
I'd like to give a. 00:14:48
Shout out to the Police Department. 00:14:49
We're putting a steel limit sign. 00:14:51
On Nickel Drive. 00:14:53
Just as you get to the bridge. 00:14:54
Before you get. 00:14:56
Before you get to Mary Lee Clark Elementary School. 00:14:57
That's a good point. 00:15:00
Keep the people from speeding. 00:15:02
Going directly to school. 00:15:04
But it doesn't stop him from coming from. 00:15:06
Where I live. 00:15:08
Going out to. 00:15:09
Chlorine Rd. 00:15:10
My last point. 00:15:13
I attended your work session. 00:15:15
About the storm water maintenance. 00:15:17
Plan that you were discussing when to implement this. 00:15:20
You were talking about trying to do it by the end of this year. 00:15:25
Or by the end of the fiscal year. 00:15:28
I'm going to say if you try to do it by the end of this year. 00:15:31
You're going to have more citizens coming to the City Council meeting. 00:15:33
And complaining to the City Council. 00:15:36
About this new. 00:15:38
That you're implementing. 00:15:40
Because I don't care how you say it. 00:15:41
For how you do it, you're not going to get the word out to everybody in Saint Mary's. 00:15:43
About this waste stormwater management system. 00:15:47
So the longer you take. 00:15:50
The better chance you have. 00:15:51
Of getting the word out to everybody. 00:15:53
In Saint Mary's. 00:15:55
Thank you. 00:15:56
Thank you. 00:15:58
Bird Seeds 816 Riverview Dr. 00:16:11
I I just want. 00:16:17
Get a clarification on the. 00:16:20
The breakout full. 00:16:26
The three things. 00:16:29
Contenzabal. 00:16:30
An overview of the city revenues. 00:16:35
An expenditure for June. 00:16:38
I am. 00:16:40
I see the Saint Mary's. 00:16:44
That is good. 00:16:47
From see where it you look at in the negative. 00:16:50
So it was 31,575. 00:16:54
Last time was 30,875 S. 00:16:58
In a negative, however, except No 4. 00:17:02
I think that's manageable. 00:17:06
Looking at the Aquatic Center. 00:17:07
The final four, 4.908. 00:17:13
And. 00:17:17
The expenditure. 00:17:19
Or the shortfall of 340? 00:17:21
635. 00:17:23
Last month was one 64685. Sorry. 00:17:25
I'm hoping. 00:17:28
The increase in the negative. 00:17:29
If you could explain that. 00:17:33
I would think of maybe those pumps that we put into the alcoholic center. I'm not too sure. 00:17:35
Either correct center. 00:17:39
You know, I know that it's a big jump in the negative. 00:17:42
So and again. 00:17:45
You know, the math is kind of. 00:17:48
I lose track of the maths on them. The stomach was fun. 00:17:50
You know the waste funnel was three million 331. 00:17:55
And then you got. 00:18:00
Was 3003 million 381. 00:18:02
When the shortfall of 50,422. 00:18:05
Another scene available cash was. 00:18:08
323. 00:18:12
459. 00:18:15
The last time. 00:18:17
293. 00:18:21
768. 00:18:23
I can't figure out. I can't figure out the short as soon as it's going to. 00:18:26
Where does it will be coming down? 00:18:31
Maybe he's a math, maybe I'm lost on it. It's only a solid week spot. 00:18:33
So a big part of that was the. 00:18:40
The JIMA funds that. 00:18:42
We have received now, but they were received after June 30th. 00:18:44
So that will take care of a large portion of. 00:18:48
Of that. 00:18:51
Like I said, they the funds weren't received until after. 00:18:53
This financial report closed out, but we did get reimbursed for the JIMA. 00:18:56
For the disaster. 00:19:00
Funds for the hurricane that clean up the pickup. 00:19:01
That was unexpected. 00:19:04
Expense, you know those funds did come in. 00:19:07
But they came in after. 00:19:09
OK. You know, after June 30th, so not reflected here. 00:19:11
All right, and that's all I got. 00:19:14
Thank you, Sir. 00:19:17
And with the Aquatic Center, you know, we did have. 00:19:19
Pumps, the pumps, but also, you know, we ended up losing, you know, 8 or 10 days of revenue as well while the park was closed 00:19:23
while that was happening, so. 00:19:26
Kind of a double whammy there that. 00:19:30
It's a one time thing, hopefully. 00:19:32
And this animal, Mr. Mayor? 00:19:33
Real quick if I may, and I'm sorry, please come on. 00:19:35
I just missed something in my managers. We're going to make sure everybody's aware that we have our property sack. 00:19:38
Property Property tax. 00:19:45
Sell tomorrow. 00:19:47
Starting at 10:00 in this room. 00:19:49
OK. Thanks for delinquent taxes now. 00:19:52
So Shirley Sessions, 114 Boston Court. 00:19:54
I wanted to ask is there what is the reason that? 00:19:59
Waste management doesn't pick up tires. 00:20:02
I see a lot of tires be out. 00:20:05
Or pick up but. 00:20:07
They don't pick them up and then they just sit there and sit there and sit there. Are they evil? 00:20:09
On the side of all. 00:20:14
The paramedic complex. 00:20:17
And I want to know. 00:20:19
Is what was the reason that you don't pick up? 00:20:21
Tires you really good about picking up bolts. 00:20:24
You know, the refrigerators and the stoves and all of that. 00:20:27
But what is it about the Taj that you will not pick up? 00:20:30
And dispose of. 00:20:33
And if you don't do that, what are we supposed to do with them? 00:20:35
Mr. Williams, can you address that possibly? 00:20:39
Real quick answers I don't know. 00:20:44
So I will. 00:20:46
So our. 00:20:49
What we can pick up on what we can't is based on the Camden County dump site. 00:20:50
But I will. 00:20:54
Find out where you can dispose of the tires. I know there are tire places that will pick them up and collect them, or there are 00:20:56
folks that recycle that. 00:20:59
And he probably knows because it's probably a fire hazard, to be honest. 00:21:02
They are a fire hazard, but that's made here, there. 00:21:06
The reason is they're. 00:21:10
Because of their their makeup of the tire is a petroleum based product. 00:21:12
Is considered a hazmat. 00:21:16
Problem project kinda like. 00:21:18
The paints you can't. 00:21:20
Put paint out there, you got the P. 00:21:22
Put the Kitty litter in the paint. Make sure it's all dropped. 00:21:24
Busted up, didn't throw the can away. 00:21:27
It's the same kind of thing. 00:21:30
And another thing, I think it would be a good thing if the city says everybody did a water bill. 00:21:33
A letter telling what they what you dispose of and what you can't. 00:21:38
Dispose of because I think a lot of people just don't know. 00:21:44
I have to call the city all the time to get the book pick up that need to be on so and so and so St. 00:21:48
And the people they, they don't know. So I think. 00:21:54
My personal opinion? 00:21:58
I think pressure will approachment. 00:22:00
They should be able to. 00:22:03
Let the rentals know. 00:22:05
Of what is allowed and. 00:22:07
And what is not allowed? 00:22:09
About especially about book pickup because I've seen book. 00:22:11
Pick up sit out for like. 00:22:15
Two weeks at a time. 00:22:17
And longer and, but every time I call and. 00:22:19
And give one. 00:22:22
City is really quick about coming and pick it up. 00:22:24
Picking them up funny. 00:22:27
So. 00:22:28
That's it. 00:22:29
Alvin Sprole, now 33 point. 00:22:38
I'm Speaking of 1/2 of. 00:22:41
Talk to the room. 00:22:42
I want to know why y'all. 00:22:44
Let those outside construction corpus. 00:22:47
That thoroughly waste way. 00:22:49
Bring it on point, Peter Rd. Senator, that chapter construction place out there. 00:22:51
Open nobody see it. 00:22:56
This is so I could community. 00:22:58
Coming to Harbor, people ride by there every day. 00:23:00
I ride body every day. I look to the right. 00:23:03
Two open construction places. 00:23:05
Everything wide open. 00:23:08
You know you want everybody. Y'all look beautiful. 00:23:10
They let those people know what their job on the base. 00:23:13
Breaking out of you just. 00:23:15
A store. 00:23:17
And I have to look in. 00:23:19
I paid taxes like everybody else. 00:23:20
Anybody you know something will be done? 00:23:24
And I heard you mentioned earlier about song. 00:23:27
I want to know why? 00:23:30
Y'all wait two days for a hurricane. Hurricane season is not. 00:23:34
What problems work? 00:23:39
To get saying to block our garage. 00:23:42
I'll talk about. 00:23:47
At last minute, then when you go. 00:23:50
Russell at the last minute. 00:23:55
Those stole out of bags. 00:23:58
So if you do it now. 00:24:01
Who had that problem? 00:24:03
Hair cases here now. 00:24:04
Why can we get our bags down? Put sand in our ears we need? 00:24:07
And they put out a lot. 00:24:10
OK, look into it for you. 00:24:14
Yeah, I was one step to be. 00:24:17
God react on especially. 00:24:19
Popular. That's a mess. 00:24:21
I've never seen her that long as I live in. 00:24:24
Yes, Sir, we talked about that Thursday night and yes. 00:24:26
Yes, ma'am. 00:24:31
Jerry Brumble, 08/05 Riverview Dr. West. 00:24:49
I want to thank you guys for. 00:24:54
Starting the process of. 00:24:55
Of taking over our wreck. 00:24:57
Stuff from. 00:24:59
It's going to really enhance the quality of life of the city once we get all that stuff done. 00:25:00
Appreciate that. 00:25:04
And reminds you like I said last time. 00:25:06
Voting is #1 recreation. 00:25:09
In the city we got two boat raps and they're not. 00:25:11
They're not good. 00:25:16
They need a lot of work. 00:25:18
So like, and a lot of voters have asked me to come tell you guys this stuff. 00:25:20
It's not just me stand up here saying it, but of course I observe it all the time. 00:25:25
But particularly meeting St. 00:25:29
Meeting St. needs. 00:25:31
To look like in DD Bartels and Fernandina. 00:25:33
If you guys ever been there? 00:25:37
They got a nice pavilion. 00:25:39
Restrooms. 00:25:41
And they got wind walls on the boat ramp so that you don't get washed under the dock on a high going tide like you do a meeting 00:25:43
St. like a guy got hurt last week doing. 00:25:47
So I'm glad to see James here because when we negotiate whatever deal we wind up doing at the deal over there, we need to have the 00:25:51
space to put that parking lot. 00:25:56
The wing walls. 00:26:01
The restrooms and all that over there. 00:26:02
And we don't own the current city footprint. 00:26:04
So thanks. 00:26:07
Thank you. 00:26:09
Yeah, Michael Wilson. 00:26:11
203 E Hall St. St. Marys. 00:26:19
And I just want to join in what he. 00:26:22
I live with my mom at 1000 horse. 00:26:25
Can I get to see things that happen down at that boat ramp every day? 00:26:29
I dress you with it. 00:26:33
Thirsty. 00:26:35
That was my baby. 00:26:38
I was on the kiss a boy. 00:26:40
That developed that. 00:26:43
And we going away from them. 00:26:47
What is supposed to be used for? 00:26:49
You're getting folders. 00:26:51
Coming in organ. 00:26:53
With people, that's fishing off the down. 00:26:55
You got to remember. 00:26:57
It wasn't designed. 00:26:58
For a fishing dog. 00:26:59
It was the launch boats. 00:27:01
The next thing is. 00:27:03
Every day. 00:27:05
You can find people part. 00:27:07
That's not fishing. 00:27:09
There even Parker Automobile. 00:27:10
Get out and get in the carpet somebody else. 00:27:12
And drive off. 00:27:14
And you don't have a boat trigger. 00:27:16
Behind the truck. 00:27:19
SUV and they can't find parking and that's 90% of the problem. 00:27:21
OK, the third problem. 00:27:26
That I. 00:27:28
And we can get in some serious trouble about it. 00:27:29
We as a city. 00:27:32
And all down the road and limbed up the trees. 00:27:35
But you got trees. 00:27:39
Oak trees that hangover. 00:27:40
The turn around, exit down. 00:27:42
I witnessed a guy from Eastman, GA. 00:27:46
Come along about a month ago. 00:27:48
And toward the top of his boat, off. 00:27:50
And it's going to cause a serious problem. 00:27:54
Thank you for listening. 00:27:56
Thank you. Thank you. 00:27:57
All right, all right, we'll close the. 00:28:14
Public comment section and. 00:28:18
