Music I'm going to do a little bit of the same thing. I'm going to do a little bit of the same thing. I'm going to do a little bit of the same thing. I'm going to do a little bit of the same thing. Thank you. you you All this meeting to order. Welcome everyone to this regular meeting of the Bokewertown Community Redevelopment Agency. It's Monday, October 7th, 2024 and the time is 1.30 pm. This meeting is now called to order. Briefly, before we start today, I would like to take a moment of silence to recognize the first anniversary of the tragic events of October 7th. The images of the terrorist acts by Hamas against the people of Israel on that day remain vivid in our collective consciousness. The memories of the innocents whose lives were so violently taken that day and those subsequently caught in the continuing crossfire that ensued must never be forgotten. And may those still held hostage be made free again as soon as possible. In the words of Holocaust survivor Alfred Manser, we have to remind people that we are really members of one human family and mourn the loss of all innocent lives in this war. But everyone please stand for the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic which stands one nation under God, indivisible, liberty and justice for all. Thank you. Missedans, would you please call the roll? Chair Naclas. Here. Vice Chair Thompson. Thankful to be here. Commissioner Drucker. Here. Commissioner Singer. Here.

State your name and address for the record, and you'll have up to three minutes to speak on matters regarding the CRA. Would anyone like to speak? Okay. Seeing no one will close public requests. We have no resolutions or regular public hearings and no other business to consider. So we'll move on to the Director's report, Mr. Brown. Thank you, Chair. Ruby Riley. The Downtown Manager will give us an update on projects in the downtown that are designed to refurbish the downtown area. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Brown, Chair and Members of the Board. For the record, I am Ruby Riley, Downtown Manager, and I'm here today to provide you an update on downtown projects as of September 26th to continue our place-making safety and pedestrianism efforts in the downtown. In Meisner Park, staff is continuing to work with Brookfield on the maintenance items. In the POA, we are trying to come to a decision in regards to whether or not the maintenance agreement needs to be amended. If so, we're trying to work to get it on the agenda at the upcoming meetings. So we will keep you posted on that. The vandalized oversized Adirondack chair has been repaired and replaced and we're continuing to keep an eye on that so that we've used a new signage this time in hopes that it won't be so easily removable. Also in Meisner Park we have Permanent, is that correct? No, I went too far. Okay, there we go. We have the permit submitted for the lighted Instagrammable photo op artwork, which I'm sure some of you are very curious as to what that is. We are planning to have installation in November. And with that, we also would like to plan a reveal ceremony so that we can be all be surprised at the same time. We know you guys are going to be very happy with it and so will the public. So stay tuned. We will be revealing that very soon. We also repaint the tables and chairs in the black color scheme and Meisner. They have been damaged with some stickers and other things. So we have ordered another set of black tables and chairs and those will be coming in the next month and then we will use these tables and chairs as a backup in case you know other chairs get damaged or whatever we can use them. Also we are researching the water fountain filling stations. We have obtained quotes and we are working on installation in the next coming months. The item I wanted you to be aware of is that there is no potable water in the POA. So we are going to get a filling station in the north end, which will be closely accessible to the water connection near the amphitheater. So the other items that we wanted to put four of them in there, those won't get installed as soon as the first one will because we'll have to do some jack and boring and some other work to get the connectivity. The center area has non-potable water so we will be making that connection. So it will take us a little more time than we anticipated with this installation. Then in Sanborn Square, you may have noticed the two poles there that have been installed at the Northwest area of the park along Federal Highway. Those are for our event banner sponsors that want to put their event banners. They will now have a place to hang them instead of tying them to our beautiful trees. And we should not have an issue with that in the future. We also have received positive feedback from citizens regarding the new landscaping in front of the safety barriers. We are also coordinating with a potential vendor to activate the park for a green market on Sundays and due to the weather obviously it didn't start in October but sometime in this month we hope to see that kick in all the way through February. Then throughout the downtown the recycling bins are on order and they will be placed in Meisner Park, Sanborn Square, and throughout the downtown. We also continue to work on the pavre repairs throughout downtown, and the remaining zones are 45, 6, and 7, so that is continual work with our vendor, which sometimes gets slowed down due to the weather, but we are continuing to work on those pavol repairs. And finally, throughout downtown, we are researching the digital kiosk options. We have obtained a couple of agreements from other sister cities throughout the state of Florida, and we are looking for a possible piggyback option and a turnkey operation. We will need IT support for content management, possibly traffic signals in order to provide a power source to those digital kiosks and of course we're working with purchasing for the approval of piggyback and legal for review and approval. And I just wanted to mention obviously in light of the weather we are making storm preparation for all those wonderful things we've been putting out there and making sure we're taking them and putting them where they need to be so they won't be a problem. And Madam Chair if you would just indulge me for a moment as I am the face of downtown, I get to be the one to give you these wonderful reports, and I want to thank you all for allowing us to give these updates to you. But I also want to thank the dedication and hard work of my staff and also those departments that we work with. So if you will give me another minute, I will give you some more... Absolutely. give me another minute, I will give you some more acknowledgement for the people that also make sure that these projects go into place. We have a very small but mighty downtown staff team so we have to coordinate and collaborate with others. So to start with Arlene Cheese Nelson is our DDI planning analyst and my right arm she presented the last time for the user fees so you should have a face to her name now. She's worked tirelessly with me the last 15 years in the downtown and she continues to provide support to downtown Boko with research and analysis of these projects. In addition she manages the office equivalency database. She prepares OE and Open Space Reports and activities regarding development projects. And she reviews and comments on IDAs, Urban Design Request, and Business Tax Receive Zoning Inquiries. And much more. We also have Carter Bogish, our downtown marketing coordinator. And he prepares that wonderful list that you're going to read of activities and events at every meeting and he actually has to scour different websites to get that information. We do have an option on our downtown Boca website for people to send their information to us so I would recommend that our businesses try and seek downtown Boca.org. We will capture that information but if they don't send it to us, we're looking for it. So Carter puts all that information together. The downtown website is also going through a total refresh, and that is currently under his guidance. And related social media, he manages that, review especially vent permits, the banners, signage. He also conducts weekly inspections now of all the items we have, which there are hundreds now of signs, paper markers, and different accoutrement in the downtown with our downtown Boka brand on it. maintained and kept up with. Melissa Thomas is my admin land records assistant. She's the person who keeps me on track for meetings and scheduling of updates to the land records and addressing in the system so she coordinates with our permit system so that the addressing is properly kept up to date for them and she prepares the requisitions and pays the invoices for all of these projects that we have. She coordinates with all the vendors as well as other city departments that are necessary that we work with, which I will go into some detail on that as well. So speaking of other departments, finance, my A number one friends, Stephen Tim Tim Relake and of course Jim's service who assist us with the budget and the accounting and our spending. Their parking division works side by side with us in regards to the meters and any parking related matters, Cherice Vlahavsky and Virginia Radsokowski. And of course, their purchasing team, I've also Goosman and her staff. Recreation we work with very diligently Kevin Beckman at the Meister Park POA. They manage the maintenance contract and we work with them on that. Sam Born Square, the water stations and recycling project and we have to make sure that we're not doing things that they're not aware of so communication is key working with these other departments. Kevin's team, Julian Reese and Christopher McCollum, and of course we coordinate with Amy Denorcio from the amphitheater. In municipal services, we work with Lauren Barack with the Pave Repairs, the water filling stations, Sanborn Square, and the survey team. Nuresh, Mark of Arapu, transit, and mobility, including the circuit program that you all are very familiar with. Luai Talico and Facilities Team, if it weren't for them, the oversized Adirondack chair would not have been put together and carried all the way out to Meisner Park. So we thank them for that. And also we'll be working with them on the water filling stations in Meisner. And the traffic signals, Gary Jean and Steve Riley in regards to the digital kiosks Downtown code enforcement team Dennis Spellman Keith Benwas Scott Newman Dana Lobo and from police department sergeant Coronado We coordinate once a week to make sure that we're all on the same page and share and exchange information. The downtown planning and zoning team, there are planners that are dedicated to downtown, Susan Lesser, Jacob German, Neha James, Tamash Raman, and Tori Boone the zoning manager. And of course IT, which gets involved in just about everything that we do. So I'm working with Joe Lynn Avery on the digital kiosks and our legal department, Joni Hamilton and Jeff Sheffield. And of course last but certainly not least our city manager's office, George, Andy and Chrissy. And that is basically the complexity of all these projects. We work with everyone to get these things done. So we wanted to make sure that we had a shout out and a thank you because we couldn't do it without their help. So thank you. Thank you, Ms. Riley. And I want to say too, right back at you, I really appreciate the work that goes into doing these downtown updates. Now they're coming more frequently. And I really like to see the progress that has been made and what's on order and it's getting us excited to what's to come and what's been done and with our centennial coming up. So I really appreciate all the hard work of everyone that you mentioned, especially your team, Mr. Chisnellson, Mr. Bogish, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Timberlake, Mr. Service, and everyone else that you mentioned as well. So does anyone else have any comments? Thank you. Madam Chair, I do actually, chest pieces. I'm disappointed to hear that we have any vandalism, and we've had a chair there for years, this hopefully is a temporary thing, but just curious the chest pieces. The nights always keep getting stolen. They do. They're very popular item, and they disappear. So what we have done is I had to create an inventory of all these types of things. So I basically buy two sets. And then as they disappear, I fill them in and then we can't buy individual pieces without the downtown Boca branding. We have to buy the whole set. So as we check every week to make sure that all the pieces are there, that's basically what we have to do. Right. Well, hopefully the one or two nights that have gone stay that way on only those two. Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you, Mr. Singer. Thanks, Ms. Riley. Mr. Brown. Thank you. And thanks to everyone involved with the downtown work, for sure. It's the team effort as Ms. Riley indicated. And remember that the city is reimbursed by the CRA for everybody's activities related to the CRA. Yes. We'll remember that. Thank you. I'm going to provide an update following up on the last meeting regarding the Center for Arts and Innovation where there was discussion of our hiring a consultant to act as more or less an owner's representative as we continue through the process with the center. And thanks to Andy's work we are going to be contracting with CBRE to provide consulting services to the city and CRA for the purpose of reviewing the center. Just by way of background from CBRE, they are the largest commercial real estate firm globally, a Fortune 138 company. They represent 90% of the Fortune 100. They have 115,000 employees globally and they have an office here in the city. They are subject matter experts in government transactions, specifically P3s, most of which involve mixed-use projects and many include government headquarters and civic buildings, as well as many different use types, offices, city hall, multi-family retail hotel, land golf and resorts, and other similar projects. With regard to performing arts centers, their team has assembled, and other similar projects. With regard to performing arts centers, their team has assembled, assist with the performing arts center includes specialists in cost consultancy, project and construction management, financial consulting, and evaluation, and advisory services, and they're led by the public sector team. CBRE's partially owned, subsidiary, Turner and Thousand are experts in cultural arts type buildings. So they will have a cultural arts expert, facilities expert on their team. We are in discussions with them right now to review the PCDA, the pre-construction and development agreement and the issues that have specifically been brought up for discussion between now and the 21st, the orientation of the Performing Arts Center, and the amphitheater concerns about Valet, the shade, and roof structure, and the underground garage, just to have comment on that. We've asked for specific input prior to the next meeting, so we will have something to provide. We're also asking them to review the financial terms and just to advise us on their opinions with regard to that. The project manager for local lead is Matthew Kizia. I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly. And Ms. Caroline Montague from Turner and Towson is the performing arts center special subject matter expert. There will also be other representatives of the team. They have the internal capability to review the O&M and capital reserves and other future requirements of the PCD and lease. They will probably be serving as in a development oversight capacity as we go forward. In other words, as owners rep during the construction, reviewing submittals, et cetera. As I mentioned, Andy has been working with them to develop a defined scope of work with this initial review and report, as well as a longer term strategy for development oversight. And we hope to have this contractual relationship in place prior to the October 21st meeting so that we can advise you all that we are moving forward and give some preliminary feedback on what we've discussed so far. That's the update on the consultant. I'm happy to answer any questions. Does anybody have any questions for Mr. Brown? Mr. Wigtter. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Brown, Mr. Lucasic, for getting this consultant on board as promptly as you did and as qualified as they are. If the consultant raises questions and things like that, does your authority allow you to amend the scope or add to the scope of work of the consultant as the, you know, as questions arise? Yes, based upon the nature of the transaction we're looking at, which is a real estate transaction, those are services that I can contract for up to a certain amount. And if it needs to come before the body, it will. Okay. Thank you. No further questions? Senator, anybody else at Mr. Singer? Thank you Madam Chair. Mr. Brown, do you expect that contract to be in place with CBRE by the end of tomorrow? I'm sorry. Do you expect that contract to be in place with or agreement or memo of an signing or work order to be in place with the CBR by tomorrow? Tomorrow probably not, but by the end of the week. Okay. I'll say the rest for Council Member Commissioner Reports on. Thank you. Any other questions? Okay. Thank you. Anything else, Mr. Brown? No, thank you very Okay. Thank you. Anything else, Mr. Brown? No, thank you very much. Thank you. W.C. Attorney, Mr. Kailer. Do you have any report? No report, thank you. Thank you. Okay. I'll move on to Commissioner's report. Start on my left with Vice Chair Thompson. No report. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Singer. I didn't save along. Brown earlier today as we have been about where we might be with getting a consultant to help us generally analyze the transit oriented community we're looking at. In fact, while I appreciate Ms. Riley's update on the downtown things, I think that getting that finalized in place in light of some pending conversations is the most pressing issue. So I wanted to ask Mr. Brown the same question. Do you think you might have a consultant lined up in case we need to have conversations soon? And if not, then are there any roadblocks that we as a council need or a commission need to give direction on? No, I don't think so. I think we'll be able to have a consultant in place within the next 10 days. I can't guarantee that, but that's what we're working toward. Is there any roadblock that might prevent that from happening sooner that we might want to discuss now or tomorrow? Other than the hurricane? No. Yes, okay, very well. All right, if you can think of any before then, notwithstanding the weather, please let us know. Yes. Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you, Mr. Singer, Mr. Drucker. Just one quick thing, and I have another report for the next meeting, but we welcomed Miss Nakas and I went to Kremock, Grame, Coffee Shop in Meister Park. Great, a great store, and I don't know if you were going to mention it, but just wanted to walk them to Boca. They have sandwiches. It's a really nice set up there. So we were there less, I guess this week or last week, well last week actually. So I just wanted to mention that. Another business has opened in downtown in Meisner for you all to go check out. Mr. Waker. Thank you. I have just the framework for postponing the approval of the landlord plans as a discussion point today. Over the last 10 days or so, I've spent a lot of time and I think Mr. Kailer, for spending that time with me and walking me through the complexities of an agreement, I'm sure a lot of you can appreciate that when you coming into an agreement that's already signed and that there's already, you know, milestones and things happening, it's sometimes it's a little difficult and complicated to appreciate where we are, so I appreciate you walking me through them. With respect to those things though, as the presentation from the center was, you know, as Ms. Virgin indicated publicly several weeks ago, she doesn't have the current cost estimates, current operating performance and a, again, an updated business plan with financial figures and she claims that she'll have it by the end of the year. So in addition to the consultant being on board for them reviewing the landlord plans and all those things. My conversations with Mr. Kailer and Mr. Brown have been that well. The consultant should also be reviewing the financial aspects to this and we don't have those yet. And it would be very difficult, at least for me, to approve a new concept plan that isn't more refined in terms of its financial impact, its cost, how much is the new cost compared to the old cost? Obviously, there's been a lot of speculation about the cost of, you know, underground and parking, you know, given the storm that's out there right now. I can't even think about underground parking right now. I can't even, you know, anecdotally, we only have a few that are approved in this city. And I'm praying that they're fair okay and I guess we'll have our own little statistics to see if this is a policy that we want to continue. So certainly I do think this is a substantial change and that it's important for the consultant to review not only the concept of the change but the cost of the change and the fact that we don't have that yet, I think, you know, it makes me, you know, it gives me a great pause. So, together with Mr. Kailer, I work through, together we work through the items that we think would be necessary for a brief amendment to go to a brief amendment with the center. And I think obviously, you know, they're quite simple actually, postponing the approval of the plans for the submitted, for the submitted updated plans and updated costs analysis, both construction and operational costs, updated strategic business plan which was a part of their submittal which includes financial framework. The consultants going to need time to review these once the financials are submitted. So we talked about them having 90 days to analyze and evaluate these things. Of course, also Brookfield must approve these things. And in my opinion, Brookfield should be approving these things prior to the City Council approving the landlord plans. Because obviously if they don't, then again, it's just an exercise. Once we've received the updated financials, once the consultant has had an opportunity to review, then I think we'd be in a better position to make an informed decision about these things. Obviously, that meeting the second milestone is also happening around the same time or happening at next month or in a couple of weeks rather, so that will be important. So, again, pursuant to number seven on this little list, I think what we'd be asking for here, or at least to have a discussion, Madam Chair, is to have an amendment to the PCA, including these things. Thank you, Mr. Raiders. So you're looking to take action today to make an amendment? Well, I believe Mr. Kailer, correct me if I'm wrong. I believe we need to have some sort of consensus to direct staff to work on a proposed amendment to be in place before the October 21st, the next meeting. Is that correct? That line. The framework that Commissioner Wigter, you're referring to, would not require anything in place before the 21st. But you would, I think your intent today was to present this to your fellow commissioners to see if there was a consensus or any appetite for this. But no, an amendment would not, if that was the CRA's desire, would not be in place by the 21st, but the action you would be taking would be to defer approval of the plans on the 21st. If that was the CRA's desire, this is my understanding as how you articulate. Very good. Okay, so does anybody have any questions? Because I have a couple questions. Okay Mr. Cailer at one point in the agreement is Brookfield's approval required I believe that the agreement requires the approval prior to the middle of an IDA application And mr. Brown when is the next financial deadline? October 22nd. That's the date of our next meeting. It's the day after the next meeting. Okay. Does anybody have any other questions? Mr. Drucker. So, a couple of things. So the last time we met, which was about 10 days ago, we kind of came to some decisions of like, we're deferring to October 21st to receive a consultant, et cetera, et cetera. We have now going to enter this consultant agreement that's going to help us through this process. So Mr. Wigdert, is there something that you know that you found out because the other part that we were missing is that the center was going to start having meetings individually with some of us and I think those are kind of being coordinated as we speak. So is there any information that you've been previewed to that would preempt you to bring this up before we've had those opportunities to meet with the center and also before our next meeting. Because that's not kind of what we agreed on 10 days ago. So I kind of was surprised when we got this this morning because we did talk about amendments and we did talk about possibly doing this. And by the way, good on the consultant. I agree with cost analysis, updates, et cetera. I'm just wondering if you're a preview to something that we're not. And because this document is you know very Changes a lot of what has already been put into place in the past two and a half years So I just kind of want to know where where this is coming from so that I could have a better Understanding sure no happy to happy to discuss it. No, there's no there's no other information other than my reading of the agreement again and again my discussions with Mr. Kailer and Mr. Brown about the fact that the concept, at least in my opinion, has substantially changed and we don't know what the costs of those things, what the costs of those changes are going to be. And like I said, it would be hard for me to make a decision on a financial basis that could negatively impact the taxpayers if it doesn't go forward. Or in the worst case scenario, if a bankruptcy or some other adverse financial event were to happen in the middle of construction or after construction. So not knowing those costs is a material to my decision. So upon reflection after those meetings and reading them again and again and talking with the city attorney's office, these are some of the issues that I saw were critical to me making a landlord's plan. Now, with everything you just said, Mr. Drucker, I don't just agree this agreement has been in place for two and a half years, and in two and a half years, other than the initial $95 million initial estimate cost that was in place two and a half years ago, we've received no financial, cities received no financial update other than their fundraising goals. So I am concerned and without substantial ability to review those before me making a decision, I would be in now. And I guess my other question, because we have been in a partnership with the center, has have you discussed this proposal with the center or you're discussing with us? Is this the first? I'm discussing with my colleagues first. Okay. Thank you. Those are my questions. Of course. The other questions? Yeah. Comments? I'll go first. I'm happy to have this discussion. I'm just today seeing this for the first time. So I'm going to all think about it. I'm not going to, if you're asking for direction now, the answer is no, but I'm happy to think about it some more. Maybe we could talk about it more. Probably it's going to get teed up at our next meeting in two weeks, so probably my guess is that it's going to, if there's going to be some sort of defer looks to me to be like an ultimatum for an amendment. I think that's going to probably take place. Then it's not going to, at least for me, it's not going to take place today. Mr. Singh. Thank you. I appreciate Mr. Wigger's concerns about not having all the information. I was in the situation several years ago. We did not proceed with the consultant then. We went to agreement. I had concerns about both those things, the agreements in place now. And the letter I got back, the email I got back on Saturday from Ms. Virgin suggested that they wanted to raise some other concerns about that we're already negotiating the agreement. I'm not in favor of that. As I said at the last meeting, I'd rather be able to try to address the specific concerns that seem a little earlier than they would be for where the landlord timing sets out in the process and condition are approval based on satisfactory elements of that. At least I get to have this meeting. We've been trying to schedule it. It's now scheduled for Wednesday subject to whether changes I presume. I wanted to have it before we started discussing this, but before next meeting, so be it. At least last week or last meeting, the center seemed to indicate some general agreement to the idea that if we had concerns about land or lands or the parking or the circulation that we could address those later as part of the idea, just to give us that extra pair of suspenders to go with a pretty strong belt that already exists in the agreement. The only other thing, are escalation of costs. I talked about that. We do have one escalator for maintenance, nothing for working capital and nothing for endowment. And I know that those are not tied directly to construction costs, but there is some interrelation. I don't know if we're going to get clarity on that until we get the final plans fetted by a third party and they're even finalized and I'm a little concerned about perhaps giving if we extended deadline the center's going to look to extend a host of deadlines. In fact already Cindy being negotiating back. I've no interest in doing that. I think the agreement is already quite favorable to the center and still preserves you know we did what we could to make it better for taxpayers. I'm not interested in reopening those conversations. So what I would suggest instead, if we have concerns, is try to punt what we can in terms of the definition of threshold concept plan changes, condition or approval that way. Mr. Kailer was drafting some language or picked up where I would set last time at the day as I was trying to draft on the fly, which relate to the use of underground parking and valley parking and also the canopy design to the extent that three of us feel have that's a really material change. We could push back on that and condition the design that they provide, could provide protection from the rain. And then proportionality on cost escalation I was just saying if the construction cost threshold rises by more than x percent, they have to grow up the endowment and working capital reserve by that similar percent. Since I mentioned this from the day I have not had a conversation yet with the center yet, I don't know what the response is. I think that would be prudent though and I think it fits into what a landlord would seek for some attendant doing their own improvements on their property. I'm less concerned about the issue about third party approval from Brookfield. That's a separate standalone provision. It's a chicken and egg problem, which would come first in this sense. I can see logic for what it is. But regardless, it's in the agreement. So I don't want to delay. And I get that that it may be unavailing to some of us. It is not entirely availing to me, but we're down this path now, and I think opening up a whole series of deadlines causes more unintended consequences for us as the counterparty than we might get. And I think we can try to address some of the concerns given the framework we're within. Thank you, Mr. Singer. Mr. Wader, do you have any? No, I appreciate that Mayor Singer. I think, you know, in the spirit of what I'm talking about, conditioning approval based on certain cost analyses is certainly critical. Obviously, there isn't a whole IDA process, but again, our discussion last week or two weeks ago was talking about the difference between the landlords approval and the IDA and the regulatory approval so that if we do have concerns about the material changes there, there has to be some way that we haven't lost the opportunity to consent there. So like Mr. Thompson said, I'm happy to see what happens in the next two weeks before the thing, but I did want to say my thoughts out there, because like I said, it's a very, very complicated agreement. Not all agreements are just set in stone, especially one of this nature, and certainly when we're looking at the best deal for the taxpayers and we're considering the taxpayer funding of the site and what it can mean if it doesn't work out financially I think we should be very very cautious and have our consultant on board with us before we make those major decisions. So happy to revisit the conversation next week. Thank you, Mr. Wigger. And yes, I also think I, you know, obviously I love the idea of the center, but there's a lot of questions, which hopefully we'll all get to ask and have our questions answered. And when we come back in two weeks, we'll have some more clarity than we then we all have now. And then since Mr. Kailer, we affirm that we don't have to have consensus today on doing this, that if we want to do an amendment, we can figure it out in two weeks when we come back. Correct? Not an amendment to the agreement, but if the CRA wanted to direct that today, you would direct staff to work on it. But no, the decision to meet with the center and to proceed and consider taking action on the 21st, that doesn't require any action today. Okay, all right, so I would say yes, we come back in two weeks, with hopefully some of our questions answered, and we move on from there. Anything else? Okay, so I have my short report and of course I'd like to thank Downtown Manager Ruby O'Reilly and apparently Mr. Carter Bogish for putting together an update of the upcoming events in the downtown. So October 9th at 6 p.m. we have the Bochertone Historical Society. We'll welcome Arch-Historian Deborah Pollock for their town hall talk. Miss Pollock will present her latest publication, Florida's sculptors and their work, 1880 to 2020, which tells the fascinating stories of creative Florida artists and reveals secrets behind their three-dimensional art from realistic to abstract to folk art.
