Public to be Heard (Non Agenda Items) ▪ Jim Longwell- “I live in Bayshore South. And I would just like to thank the board, the sheriff's department, and the road department for getting the speed limit sign down a little bit further, the flashing speed limit sign. It helped tremendously. It's unbelievable how the traffic slowed down, but the only problem is now that they removed it and I'm not sure if it got taken away because of the storm, which I'm sure that's probably, hopefully that's why, but it really, really helped the traffic situation. So if the board and the sheriff's department and the road department could continue and they could get the sign back and face it to where the south traffic it was facing for the north traffic and if they could turn it around and we could have some more participation from the sheriff's department as far as now that the people know the speed limit is 30 miles an hour and they're slowing down. We still have a lot of people that have figured out that the sign's there and nothing happens if they don't slow down. So I think if the sheriff's department was here and got their ticket book out and wrote some tickets, and that's gonna travel around through the community and to the projects to the south of us, which I think is where the majority of the speeding comes from, I think that would be a big help. And again, thank you.” 7.

Public Comments ▪ Paul Gower comments regarding mural ▪ “The only comment that I've got to say is that I'm glad to hear that the boardwalk is going to be going into getting things done, because I'm a neighbor over there. Comments with regards to the removal of the exotics. I just want to ask the committee to consider when the boardwalk is open to the public, the public can get access to the property entirely. One of the things that I would be concerned with if I go out there is if there was a buffer. I like the comments of the commission with regard to time and money. I would like to have you consider that. To be completely clear, I'm highly allergic to the Brazilian pepper hedge.So I can't even go into a yard or something like October 1, 2024 Page 6 that because of the possibility of me coming up against some of the weeds that might fall and stuff. So just wanted to keep that, the committee and the group to keep that in consideration with regard to where you move from and how much you do go unmasked ” C.
