The CRA consent agenda consists of items 1 through 3 and may be approved with one motion. Does any member of the council or commission wish to pull an item? No? Does any member of the public besides Mr. Conklin? Mr. Conklin, you'd like to pull item number 2? Is that correct, sir? All right. No one else? Do we have a motion for items 1 and 3? Motion to approve the CRA consent agenda with the exception of item 2. Second. All right. Ms. Begaro, please call the roll. Commissioner Andreu. Yes. Commissioner Fadgen. Yes. Commissioner Horland. Yes. Commissioner Reinstein. Yes. Commissioner Sortle. Yes. Thank you. Mr. Conklin, good evening. Good evening. Dennis Conklin, 4581 Northwest 6 Court. Heavenly hosts protect you and all of your families. The question I had was number 2. In the weekly report number 2, it mentioned the Kimley Horn for 6,000, umpity ump. And when I went online to see what that might be, because I wasn't at the last meeting, they have a full palette. I mean, they do everything from pavement, water management, residential, uh, light rail bikes, pedestrian, uh, build to rent. They also do, I was amazed, airports and seaports and stuff. So, I was curious, uh, within the district, uh, is this for the pavement, uh, at the intersections, or what exactly was it for, because they do everything. I'll let Mr. Noonemaker come up, but I think you may have been away when we had the presentation from Kimley Horn on the improvements on the corridor. Would that be, uh, I did read the minutes, but I couldn't see what it focused on, so the presentation, um, should still be online and we can get you that date if you'd like to go back and take a look at that. Thank you, and I'll go back. Okay, thank you, Mr. Conklin. Do we have a motion for item number 2? I'm sorry, Kay. Yes. Oh, I'm sorry, Mayor. Go ahead. Mr. Conklin, just, just to give you the detail, what it is, Kimley Horn is studying, uh, the side of each road, um, to beautify it and to put plants in everything. And they're having a hard time with consistency because there's all kinds of variants on time in terms of easements, but, uh, we're working on it. And that's, that's, that's really the big reason that we're engaged with Kimley Horn right now. Thank you, because part of the problem that happened with the gateway and then the CRA was when they widened State Road 7, it took the parking away. That was a thriving, I mean, first class restaurant role when I moved here, yield back. I would encourage you to look at the presentation as you'll see that we're trying to improve the landscape, not only beautify, but also improve the walkability there. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Conklin. Um, I'm sorry, did we have a motion, uh, to approve item 2? We did not yet? Motion to approve item number 2. And do we have a second? Second. Okay. Ms. Begaro, please call the roll. Commissioner Anderson? Yes. Commissioner Andrew? Yes. Commissioner Fagin? Yes. Commissioner Horland? Uh, yes. Commissioner Reinstein? Yes. Thank you. Okay. Are there any public requests of the commissioners regarding the CRA? Yes. Mr. Conklin? Dennis Conklin, 4581 Northwest Six Court. Uh, first of all, I wanted to make kudos, not just request. Uh, the, uh, HCA emergency room is moving along really nice. The Publix is moving along really nice. The, uh, what is it called? Z car wash is moving along really nice. Um, when I mentioned the HCA emergency room, uh, when they get around to the demolition, this is my request. When they get around to the demolition of the old Plantation General Hospital, I would request that you try to keep the development, redevelopment at a three-story level. And, uh, I believe that's everything. I'll yield back. Okay. Thank you very much, Mr. Conklin. Any other public requests of the CRA? All right. With that, the CRA meeting is now adjoined at 639. All right. All right. I'm happy, sorry. All right. Thank you. Yeah, thank you. All right. Thank you. All right. Thank you. All right. I know.
