Good afternoon and welcome to a workshop meeting of the Vokertone City Council. It's Monday, September 9, 2024. The time is 233. We'll begin with presentations today. We're pleased to have Frank Penelos of Trace Consultants, along with Venita Sinie of Florida Department of Transportation to give an update on the F.Lean repurposing. Thank you for joining here. Good afternoon, Mayor and members of the council. My name is Frank Panay, I'm from the consultant with me is Vanita. We want to give you a brief introduction to the project. I know a lot of you are familiar with the project, but this is a bicycle and pedestrian improvement project along Stereo5. From the limits of the project extend from Camino Real to Northeast Meizner, I didn't encompass this two major segments. The segment from Camino Real to Southeast Meisner, adding encompasses two major segments. The segment from Camino Real to Southeast Meisner is the repurposing of US one, which is the follow-up to an application that the city made converting the outside lanes to an area that's going to be utilized for bike lanes and sidewalks. And north of that point, all the way to Northeast Meisner, the road is going to be milled and resurfaced to incorporate a wider buffer bicycling. So again, I mean, going through the description of the proposed improvements, the southern portion is going to have a lot of more work because we're going to have to move that curb and goder into the travel lanes, change the drainage for the project, replace sidewalk sections, introduce favors or the intersections, even replace some signalizations at Camino Real. And then from that point, from from from Southeast Miser to Northeast Miser, it is a much faster construction. Coider white, we are going to be improving the bicycle connectivity of the project. We will highlight bicycle conflict areas with the green pavement markings. We are going to upgrade the push bonus of the signalized intersections and we are also going to be reducing the design speed from 40 miles to 35 miles per hour, which was a request as part of the repurposing project. This is an exhibit that shows, and again, for the exhibit we're going to divide into three segments. This is the section from Southeast Maesner, I mean, from Camino Real to Southeast Maesner, which is the repurposing, what you have today are 3, 11 foot travel lanes. The outside ones are going to be eliminated. That area is going to serve to develop a buffer bike lane and then wider sidewalks as wide as 11 feet with the landscape buffer in the middle that the city is going to be able to utilize for planting, etc. Then the second section between Southeast Manusner to North East Second Street here, the right of which is very limited. So what the project is going to be able to use is eliminate one foot of the inside travel lanes and be able to build the buffer between the bike lanes on the outside, will be able to generate that two foot buffer separating the bicycles from the vehicles. And then the third section, which is the curve from North East Second Street to North East Maesner, there we are going to continue with the buffer bike lane section. The planting area is wider in that area. so we are able to maintain the 11-foot travel lanes in all directions. Here is a plan view of the same concept, but in plan view the existing condition from Camino Real to Southeast Mazner and how it will look after the project is completed. You see a proposed signalizing intersection there is Southeast 8 which is actually a project by the developer. So that does not part of this project. You will be done by the time this project is incorporated. So we'll show it. The second section from Southeast Marshmallow Boulevard to North East Second Street is existing condition and then as part of the proposed condition you will be able to maintain that connectivity throughout. And the last section, which is the curve from North East to North East Meisner, existing and proposed conditions, we are adding a protected pedestrian crosswalk at Plaza Real. So that's an additional improvement that this project will have for pedestrians in the area. Work will be done with temporary lane closures. We are going to maintain accessibility to all the businesses and residences through all the entire construction time. That's something that will be coordinated further with city staff in terms of hours and times when construction will not be allowed. And this is the schedule that we're following. We are working now towards constructabilities of middle in 2025. So it's very important to, we wanted to present this project to the city because we want to be able to move on the project. And we are kind of on a time block because design has to be completed by December of 2025 to be able to start construction. So with that, I'll take any questions. Thank you very much. Thank you so much for the presentation. Thank you so much. First, I want to start off by saying that thank you for putting as a priority project. I know we discussed this project a while back with the TPA. So we're very grateful that we're not only have this project and that we're moving forward this project. I think it's very beneficial for our residents. But I do have a couple of questions and I actually, Mr. Brown, I would like to have staff because I think staff will be able to provide further input so that we can have the dialogue. Okay. That's okay. So, when the project was originally proposed, and I know we've had conversations and I reached out to Ms. Nielsen, you know, over the weekend to try to get ready for the presentation, we have proposed separated bike lanes. And I know there was some communication with staff about the shared use, bigger bike lanes, less chance for a separated bike lane, but I just want to make sure that I understand that from Mr. B. Eare kind of where we're at in the background and also for the audience so that we can explain why we can and cannot do what we're supposed, what we wanted to do, and that way everyone's on the same page. And then I have a few follow up questions as well. Sure. Excellent. Thank you to Deputy Mayor Drucker Zach Beer, your municipal services director. I'm joined by Nathan George, our transportation mobility and connectivity director and Nuresh Machvarp, who are city traffic engineer. So as the TPA identified an existing concept, it was taken by the DOT and further developed and as the FDOT design engineers went through the process, they identified some limitations in the corridor that they brought to task attention, and with that we had an open dialogue back and forth about the limits within the right away and what the capabilities were. So with that, I think it'd be worthwhile for me to turn it over to Nathan and let him speak to some of those concepts. Good morning everybody, it's nice to be speaking with you. Nathan George, Transportation Mobility Connectivity Director. So what we're looking at on the screen, we have a concept to do what's called a conventional 6-4 road diet or repurposing the outside lanes to provide a, in the case of what was presented a buffer bike lane, which would be a five foot bike lane with a two foot striped buffer. I'd like to first preface my comments by saying that we are a vision zero city. We're committed to delivering complete streets and enhancing safety for all users in our city. So one of the areas that we need to emphasize is that reduction of the potential for folks to have a crash is an incredibly important part of any design that we support as a city. Recently, the Federal Highway Administration completed a study in September of 2023 called Development, Developing Crash Modification Factors for Separated Bike Laints, which demonstrated a 50% reduction in bike type crashes when we provide protection as an enhancement above traditional bike lanes. So from staff's perspective, it's very important to provide that physical protection or the vertical separation between the conventional bike lane and the adjacent motor vehicle lane. And what we, that's what we'll be discussing as we continue to work with F.On what we're talking about today. If I may add, we have had extensive coordination and stuff has been great in providing those information and being supportive of the of the O.T. and one of the things that we have encountered is as you can see on the screen, the segment where we are able to provide the physical separation, which is the repurposing between Camino D'Areal and Southeast Meisner, it's a very short segment where we have side streets approximately 290 feet apart. What happens is that limits the ability to develop any sort of continuous separation because we have to bring the separation as we approach every side street. That being the case, it generates additional confusion and safety concerns when you start just adding a small section of division that's interrupted so frequently. Because drivers may not see it for one. Bicyclists are also sometimes in conflict with these separated bike lanes because they may hit it with the pedals, et cetera. So we want to make sure that this is a concept that can be incorporated throughout as a consistent concept. Not something that is just going to surprise the bicycle as well as the drivers, because it's so, we have such limited amount of space to be able to develop it. So in an effort to provide the consistency throughout the corridor, if the OT looked at it extensively, the design engineer took it as a very serious concern, and we did analysis on not only this, but all the types of treatment of separated bike lanes on the sidewalk. And again, the limitations with the frequency of connections was really not inducing to provide that separation. I think we have the good afternoon mayor and city council. My name is Nareesh Majorepu, city traffic engineer, just to add a little bit more than what city staff and the staff has said. So this project can be breakdown into two different components. One, the federal heavier from coming or reality to southeast Maisner, that's where the lane repurposing activity will be taking place. Right now there are three through lanes in each direction and this project improvement, TPA originally brought forward this project in back in 2016, 2017. And since then, lot has changed with the COVID and how we think about the bike lanes. Again, going back to that, between commune or real and southeastern, this project will be repurposing one of the travel lanes in both directions and giving that space to multi-mobility services. In this case, the concept, this will be a wider sidewalk and a wider bike lane, but there will not be any protection system between travel and bike lane. The way the concept is proposed. Then the section to the north from southeast Meizner all the way to the northern project limit, which is second street. So there will not be currently there are two trulence in each direction. So there will not be any significant modifications to the roadway payment width. So the through lens remain as is, it will be looking at reducing the travel length width and the median width and giving that extra payment to the bike length. And as is the concept is proposed, there will not be any protected barrier between the travel lengths and bike lengths. And since this FDOD has reached out to CTE for the design, further going into the design process, one input we've been consistently working with the DOT to consider a form of a protection system between the bike lens and travel lens. There are different ways how we could achieve it, depending on the rate of available and the design constraints, number of curb cuts, driveways, and all other factors needs to be taken into consideration. So that's part of the process and that's one of the main reason staff intend to bring this at this time to City Council's attention for discussion and policy direction that would give us staff the ability to continue engaging further discussions with the D.O.D.T. So right now where we are, we are little over 30% design process. This is where the major decision point and the discussion will happen and move forward to the 90% design. So there are all the options. So it will be, it will require policy direction and discussion to see continue, move forward in the concept that was proposed here without having any type of protection system are giving direction to have CT staff and FDOT design team continue well, it options and come back and present few options with consideration of placing any type of protection system. And that will also have an impact on the overall project cost. That's something CTFD or D&TPA continue to have a discussion and to see how that can be revised. Thank you for that explanation. So everyone knows I sit up here and I say this. I bike lane is on a bike lane if it's unprotected and we've been trying to move to that and I understand the project and it's been in the queue and we moved it from I think this is the project we moved from FY27 to 26 and we went back to TPA so I'm very familiar with the project but wherever we can have a protected bike lane if that means that we have I know we just talked about our CRA funds there's funding there that we might be able to help FDOT grants. I don't know how we get there, but if we're going to do something and because of the vision there and thank you for mentioning that and complete three policy, then let's do it right. Let's do it right the first time so that we're not going back. And what we heard was that it's a cystic which you so nicely told us again, or reminded us that with a protective bike, then there is 50% less fatality. So my job here, our job has always been public safety. So for four and a half years, this is what I've been kind of preaching up here in terms of safety. So whatever that looks like, wherever we can have a protected bike lane, that's what we should have. Also, I saw the design speed limit. So the presentation showed 40% to 40, and then there was a 30%, 35% to 30, because we also know by reducing speed limits, we can also help save lives. So is that was incorrect on our presentation? That it was incorrectly an apology as for that. That was the type of on the original presentation. It said from 45% to 40. It's from 40 to 35. From 40 to 35. OK, OK. So the second, the markups that you have on the presentation currently are the correct speeds. And I know the council will keep this presentation. And if you could refer to the presentation, anywhere within that block where you see a dash line, those are the locations where there wouldn't be any sort of physical barrier because you have to break them as you approach the size, right? So, and I agree with you concern and whatever possible where it can be don't court or why, it's the preferred option to have the separation. However, in this particular one, the length, as you can see, is just going to be such a small section. I mean, you're going to, I must be able to introduce 40 feet in a section of 1.3 miles project that the lack of consistency is viewed as a larger safety concern than the possible safety improvement of of separated the bike with with an opt Those are my questions for now I was just going to say if I can offer because I am new to this process, so I will point that out When we worked on projects like this in Washington DC where I come from we had a lot of Flexibility in terms of the types of materials we would use and we were testing different approaches for design This is this looks a little bit different from what I would typically have proposed in designs that I worked on in Washington DC But just to highlight for you we are looking at different materials that we can use. K-71 dollars is a material I've worked with in the past. They're thick tubular markers, about six inches in diameter, much larger than a little flex post that you typically see in a separated or protected bike lane. We're also looking at other curb type materials that would allow gaps. So drainage could pass through to get to the drainage inlets. So city staff are also looking at these materials not only for projects such as this, but also projects that will be delivered through our capital programs. So I just wanted to highlight a few of those considerations for everybody as well. Thank you. Further questions? Mr. Rucker. Do you want to rotate? Mr. Douglas the questions, Ms. Rucker. To rotate. Ms. Naclas? I'm sorry. I'm looking right. I'm looking left. Yes, Mr. Rucker. Thank you, Mr. Singer, for looking both ways. As we all should, when we cross the street or on our bikes, as well. So I want to thank you for the presentation. I want to thank staff, of course, for all the work that you always do. And Mr. George, thank you so happy that you're here and didn't get to welcome me last time. So I had a question specifically on this segment. And it was, if you go to page, then page four. So I think that's this segment also, right? This would be the segment. Yes. So, say you're going north from Camino to Southeast Meiser Boulevard or Southeast 5th Street Meiser Boulevard. It shows that that would be where the curved roadway, it's letter B, correct? Oh no, that's page five, page four, sorry. Letter B, so there's a right turn lane there. And the bike lane, which will be buffered is all the way to the right. And then if you want to continue straight, you have to cross over where that right turn lane is. Well, that right turn lane also be a share? Will there be share market? Because bikes will be turning on that roadway to continue on to Southeast Spines or Boulevard. I can answer that question. That exhibit is an exhibit from the FDOT standards. It shows two treatments and it annoys a little confusing. But the treatment that we have throughout the corridor is letter A. I mean, yes, it's the left one, letter A. Okay. Letter B is when you have a condition where the right turn lane drops and becomes, I mean, where the through lane drops and becomes a right turn lane. But we don't have the condition throughout this corridor anywhere. So if in letter B, the outside lane, if you're traveling on the outside lane, becomes a right turn lane. It's called a drop lane, so the driver, it's just gets trapped in the right turn lane. But that's not the condition in this corridor. The condition in this corridor is going to be condition A in for all the right turn lanes. OK. Maybe I can show you in the plan view is going to be a little bit easier to see there. I see it in letter A but bikes will still be just trying to protect the cyclists. Correct. And bikes will be turning right there also so if we're doing pavement markings and kind of adding to this here, I just want to make sure that cars know that bikes can share the road. Correct. There will. And when they're turning right. So that was in that area and then also it looks like maybe going south before you would turn west on Camino Real, that turn lane as well. Correct. And as you can see that right turn lane, that's one of the items where we have to break that buffer and those dashed lines and basically that's what gives the bicyclists, it alerts them that vehicles are going to be entering into the right to link if they want to turn west and come in or real. I just want to make sure that the vehicles are alerted that cyclists are going to be there. Okay. You know, it's confusing when you're on a bike and sometimes the lanes end, you don't know where to go safely and I've ridden this, and you know, I agree with Deputy Mayor Drucker as separated by clay and would be our, you know, our gold, our gold medal there, but buffered by clay and our, our, an improvement, and I understand what you said, it would add to more confusion and possibly more accidents if it wasn't consistent. So the sheros and then would there be anything and would be the city or would be FDOT, would we be leading by interval signalization anywhere to, since we're adding these new protected bike lanes or buffered bike lanes would we do anything like that? We've talked about doing some of that in the city, but would that be part of F dots? Yeah, so a great question, Council Member Naclas. So with that, the city has operational control over all the signals. So it would be something that we could evaluate as part of the enhancement from a signal perspective. Okay, thank you. It's all I have. Thank you, Ms. Anklis. Mr. Pregner. Thanks very much. Yes, I know we're all excited to see this. Just a couple of questions. In terms of process, right now, are you waiting for staff and potentially a new mobility director to give some additional protection system design ideas, whether they're big ballers or rubber curbs or something like that, is that where staff now evaluating what additional protection measures we could be implementing? Just a note, I can answer that. So you have the design consultant that's there and I very much appreciate our DOT partners and the ability that they've had to really reach as far as they can to work with us. And I think one of the challenges we've just, from the local government perspective to the FDOT is, you know, these are items and treatments where they're potentially going to try something in the upcoming six months year in another facility within the state or district four. And so we're kind of, I don't want to say all the way on the cutting edge, but from the DOT's perspective, I mean, from the city, we're kind of moving back towards getting out ahead of other regional and local areas. So from a state perspective, we're right on the cutting edge of things. So I think that's the challenge that we're having is we've kind of reached the limit of our ability to have an open dialogue about some of those treatments and advanced options within the mobility space. Even so much as elements that are off or behind the curb and DOT is really doing their best to accommodate and coming up with ideas. But I think those, that's just to inform council, that's the place that we found ourselves. No, no, it's good, thank you. Thank you for explaining that to us. I appreciate, you know, what you talked about in terms of consistency and as a writer and as Councilman Bernocque said as well, one of the things that you often experience, and I know, you I know being on the bike and pedestrian committee for years is there's lanes where they just end. And so one of the concerns I have is not only the treatment of this area, but how is it treated once you leave this area? How is it treated when you're embarking into this area? So just south of this area, you will be then coming into the paradise of bike lanes, right? Buffered bike lane, green conflict points, etc. But when you're leaving, if you're north, will there be a special treatment in terms of entering and exiting the demarcation area? So what's going to happen, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, in the middle, and it basically is able to see on the other side of the intersection that there's a standard bike lane treatment. But really, it's a transitional area, because you have to stop it at some point. When the next project comes along, US1 for that section, they probably will be adding the green, because that's a standard treatment for the project for these type of facilities. So but until that project comes along, obviously it will not, it will not be implemented. Right. Okay. And likewise, my understanding is that we're reducing the project speed, you said from 40 to 35 miles an hour. It's certainly in the downtown corridor is certainly appreciated. Likewise, so then I guess south of southeast 5th street, is it 40 miles an hour right now? I would have to look at what the science speed is south of that project. But the point is we have speed limits which are starting at, let's say, 40 miles an hour or perhaps 45 miles an hour. They're going down to 35 miles an hour in the downtown corridor. And then likewise, as soon as you leave this section or you leave that northern section, I guess perhaps it's Glades Road, then they're going back up to 45 miles an hour again. So we have significant, we have continuous, we have non-consistent speeds for the downtown federal highway driver. So my only concern would be just to make sure that, you know, when you have such change of speeds all the time that that there's enough notice for drivers and pedestrians and bicyclists too because I will tell you, bicyclists, you act differently when there's a car going past you at 45 miles an hour, then when they go in at 30. So for bicycles to know, you're back on the, quote, highway, you know, is important. So in terms of just the signing, the signage of speed changes, I think it's critical for that area. Very, very important. Well, I agree. And we'll look at the transition of the science piece and what science is existing. Then we can look at making some adjustments to making sure that is alerted way in advance any speed reduction or increases. Thank you. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Mr. Thompson. All right, thank you. And all my questions were covered by my colleagues. So there's nothing further. Thank you. We appreciate the update and we appreciate seeing this project come further to fruition. We've been discussing it since the mid of the last decade. So it's a long time in coming. Thank you. All right, great. Thank you. All right. Well, that concludes our presentations today. We'll turn to board interviews and I'm pleased to see several applicants here. We'll first turn to the Community Appearance Board. I don't know if Mr. Peterson had a lead, but Mr. West, welcome and thank you for wanting to continue to serve. Please come to the microphone and tell us in three minutes or fewer your name, address and why you'd like to keep on serving. And there's Mr. Peterson too. I believe Mr. Peterson is probably out on so I don't tell if I'm quoting. He's right here, but the floor is yours, Mr. West. Thank you. So you can start it off. So good afternoon. My name is Alan West and I reside at 7184 Lorenzo Lane in Del Rey Beach. First let me thank you, Mr. Mayor, sitting Council members and staff for providing me another opportunity to be interviewed for the Boca Raton Community Parents Board and for an additional term. Over the past eight years, I've enjoyed providing my insights along with the six or seven associate members of this very important board to continue to be a part of the city's filter framework if you will to oversee present and future visual environmental changes to the Boca Raton's present landscape. Finally, I believe this past year's board has collectively provided the proper oversight for the city with its expanding evolution and its future prosperity. I hope you all agree. I thank you for the time and if you have any questions, then more than happy to answer them. Thank you. Tell us my questions from the west. Thank you for continuing to want to serve my pressure. I think you're Mr. Peterson. Good afternoon. My name is Joe Peterson. I am a licensed landscape architect who work in the city. I've lived in the city of Boquerton my entire life. And I've been on this community appearance board for the last 24 years and would ask your consideration for reappointment. Thank you. And before we can consider that, which I think would be very favorable, my opinion, could you please give an address? Oh, well, 151 South was 7th terrors. Thank you very much. Thank you for your willingness to keep serving Council members. Any questions? All right. Well, thank you for being here. I believe that's all of the applicants we have today for the CAB. I don't believe we have anyone present for the Environmental Advisory Board. But I'm pleased at long last we have found an architect who wants to apply for the permitting and construction review board. We actually reached out to the AIA and pleased to welcome, said Nyes Lo, to the microphone. Please give us your name and address and tell us why you want to serve. Thank you, Mr. Mayor, Council members. Set David Yeslow, reside at 6706, Boca Pines Trail, apartment A in the city Bocca Raton, where I've been a proud resident for the last 13 years. I am educated both as an engineer and an architect. I am a long-serving member of the American Institute of Architects, as well as an adjunct faculty with Florida Atlantic University School of Architecture. Also proud employee with Stephen Alcone on the associate's a Boc or a tone based business for the last five years and obviously been before council other boards for many of our projects that were proud to have worked on here within the city. in the process of the development of the development of the development of the development of the development of the development of the development of the development of the development of the development of the development of the development of the development of the development of the development of the development of the development of the development of the development of the development of the development of the for that civic public service from the design community. So thank you for your consideration. Thank you, Councilwoman, was there any questions? I have one. How many friends do you have who are electrical engineers? Friends or colleagues? Either one, we're still looking for someone to fill that spot on the board. So based on that, it's a requirement to be a city resident. I will have to look closely. I do know of some I would highly recommend So based on that, it's a requirement to be a city resident. I will have to look closely. I do know of some I would highly recommend, but I don't believe they live in the Boca Raton general area, but not within the city limits. But I will do some research and see what I can find out for you. All right, thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. Yazole. Thank you, sir. And for all of the applicants, thank you for your willingness to serve. We will make the appointments tomorrow night. You do not need to be present tomorrow night to be considered. Mr. Mayor, I have one question just because Mr. Yezo had brought it up about membership qualifications. Under the CAB it also says members must be a resident of the city. Has that changed? It has not been you you can see the report. You jumped in where I was going. It is not changed. However, we have allowed our code generally provides that we can appoint a non-city resident or resident spot where we don't get applicants. Mr. West was appointed at that time and served well on that board since then. And the light of the fact that we've gone eight meetings perhaps now without an electrical engineer in the city, I'd be willing to cast the net wider and I think if our code and I'll ask Mr. Kailer and team to look that up, I think that general cash all provision applies there as well. But let's just confirm it if not, I'd be willing. We're either going to have to adjust the requirements to not have an electrical engineer at all or to broaden the pool. Mr. Mayor, we'll work with the City Clerk's Office to look at the code and see if that can be expanded. I don't know the answer right now, but I'm aware of the provision you're referring to. Thank you very much. Other questions? Right. Thank you very much. That concludes our board interviews. We'll open the floor to public requests. Anyone wishing to bring up any concerns? Please do so now Mr. Rungin. Jonathan Nungyan 6501 Congress Avenue. So a couple council members are aware of the issues I had this past week with business tax license. I was trying to get a new tenant into my property. A, to be frank, incompetent staff member didn't understand the difference in zoning between personnel and personal and denied a tenant. It took almost a week for Mr. Shad to respond. It's good to see that it's finally through that. But this is the kind of harassment that I've had to deal with from zoning for many years, trying to get tenants in whether it was medical and I had significant parking, excess parking. They denied that based on parking. I had to show Ms. Boone, I had access parking after a fight that was allowed. So just again it's an ongoing process that somebody who does it the right way tries to get a business tax license before moving in as opposed to seeing a gym down the street who operated in the Birmingham building improperly for years, then brought to code enforcement, brought to a text amendment, and still allowed to operate the entire time. So, it makes a property owner not want to do it the right way, tell their tenants to get a business tax license as an advocate who has given you probably a hundred business tax licenses out of my building a year. So it's significant revenue, very frustrating to have such a thing happen and thank you, Council Member Nackelis, for being such an advocate and following up to make sure that I've handled. Lastly, onto another code enforcement matter, Dan Burke. Special magistrate is this coming Wednesday. I would certainly hope that all council members that have concerns with that can voice their opinion to the special magistrate in terms of the special processes that have happened here. I was very disappointed in the conversation after I spoke, hearing Councilmember Thompson's opinion, because I haven't given any opinion up here. I've stated only the facts of the matter. Over and over and over, given information, played clips. This wasn't a one-sided opinion. These were the facts of the matter. And it's concerning to see then the campaign contributors are the people who are sitting in the audience and the developers who personally donated to a campaign of yours, both being Mr. Marshall and Mr. Dan Burke, to hear your advocacy for somebody who is not complied with code for years, been adjudicated guilty, had the chance to appeal, didn't appeal, asked for an extension only to get a building permit and was given two years to do that, that is unlike any other code enforcement that's ever happened in the city. Nobody in code enforcement is told to have two, three years to just merely get a building permit. I see it. In fact, I can just get it the next for 30 seconds. So like I said, this is beyond the fine, which to be frank is an employee of the city's salary. That fine reduction of $80,000 can fund one to employee salaries. So in closing, like I said, I just certainly hope the bigger matter to the community is the deadline that they were given. And a two-year deadline to just merely get a building permit is bad.
