Speaker

to discuss what priorities you have in the final year of your two terms. You're going on your eight of eight. And former Council President Carlucci, thank you again. Appreciate it. Mine's pretty easy, I think, President, to beat. One of them has no city. We don't have a dog in the fight. It's trying to get Normandy Boulevard four-lane, and it's top of the list. Yep. We've all county of unfunded projects, and I think we're going to get some help out of Tallahassee. But what I will need some help on and hopefully some support is about three years ago, I started and got $3.5 million for the amount of patrol to move to the equestrian center where everything's going on. That's where they need to be. They're out at the peat farm now, and I don't know a whole lot about horses, but that soil out there is so wet, it's bad. Anyway, not that the city is slow on things, but $3.5 million is not enough anymore. It's going to be eight or nine. To move them. To get the property water, to get everything done. Being public safety, I don't think it'll be a big lift, but that's really what I've got on top of the list. Is that a CIP item? I've got Mr. Weinstein. I've met with him the other day, and he's in favor of the project, and he's looking. I think it's going to make it an easier lift. I bet that's a CIP item. We own the equestrian center, so yeah. Yeah, it should be. Anyway, that's all, and anything else I've already got under control, hopefully. All right. Noted. Normandy Boulevard, four lanes, and move Mountain Patrol to the equestrian center. Love it. That's great. What can I do to help you with those? I think the equestrian center project will be a CIP budget item. And then Normandy Boulevard, maybe, too. No, that'll be state. Oh, that'll be state. Yeah, that'll be state. And it's on top of the, for Duval County, me being on TPO, probably me being on TBIG, got it at the top of the list for Duval County for unfunded projects. Yeah. But I've got some good support in Tallahassee this coming up year with Sam Garrison. Are you on TPO right now? Yeah. And you'd like to stay to get this project? Probably need to. Yeah. Probably need to if that works out. That's great. Unless you've got somebody else. No, if that's your priority and that will help you get it done, let's make that happen. Okay, that's about all I've got. All right. Thank you, sir. And, I mean, you'll get kudos in the next 12 months considerably for just, what, a remarkable eight years, I think, seven so far and an eighth left that you've had in the impact you've made on the city. So, not just now, but even well before you were on city council. You are the rock of council. So, thanks for everything you've done. Payable, maybe. You're a mentor to me. All right. Thank you. Thank you. All right. We're adjourned.
