at 1:20Good evening. At this time, we're going to get started with the special city commission meeting for Monday, October 19, 2026.
at 1:43If we can please stand for the pledge, and I'm going to ask Commissioner Novick if he can lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance.
at 1:28:01And then what we come up with, which whatever we decide to remove from this list, we'll add that up with the travel and with the commissioner expense for their community.
at 1:29:51But instead of having these arguments back and forth, and I'll cede the time back to you, let's get this done and stop with the silly infighting because we need to grow up like a city.
at 23:22Because this is such a critical project for the city, and it does affect us during hurricane season,
at 34:25I know that on Deltona Boulevard, about 14 businesses got acknowledged, and that to them meant a lot because it told them that the residents of the city of Deltona are aware of where they are.
at 40:47So the motion is to approve ordinance number 12-2026 amending chapter 94 impact fees to update the fire, rescue, parks, and recreation, transportation, and law enforcement impact fees and create a municipal impact fee at second and final read-in.
at 46:26Do, do, does this dais think we can come to some type of consensus with at least meeting in the middle between all of us with a three year increment versus a four or a two?
at 12:55Captain, I don't know if you were told that there's a number, I don't know, about 20, 25 tickets available for the fishing for veterans, first call, first serve, free.
at 58:44I move to confirm District 3's appointment or reappointment of Barbara Turner for a term to expire on May 31st, 2027 to the William S. Harvey Deltono Scholarship Board.
at 53:09I move to approve resolution number 2025-150, representing the October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026 collective bargaining agreement between the City of Deltona
at 56:49Commissioner Avila, I think that that was a great question that you had, and I want to point out that this process in the past has not been that smooth,
at 0:17At this time, we're going to go ahead and call this special commission meeting into order for Monday, September 22nd, 2025.
at 12:51So we'll take about five minutes to do the ranking system, and then once we're done, if I can just get the commissioners to kind of click on your button to know that you're finished, that way I know that you guys are done.
at 47:12I'm sick and tired of hearing attacks on commissioners at the dais when it has nothing to do with what we're discussing.
at 1:01:04And I found it very offensive because what they use as an example of what we could lose if we have this kind of audit is the Festival of Nations event.
