It is just under an acre of property for the two parcels combined. The county purchased this parcel --these two parcels back in September of 2007. It was intended for an EMS facility. The purchase price of the property was just about $675,000; however, the Page 25 Page 335 of 10663 November 12, 2024 county secured a loan for $875,000 to cover the associated fees and additional engineering costs. The county has paid interest on that debt since the acquisition, and the outstanding loan is $340,000. EMS now plans to operate from a nearby fire station, so the property is no longer necessary for an EMS use.

Page 26 Page 336 of 10663 November 12, 2024 CHAIRMAN HALL: Is that it? MS. SCOTT: That's it. CHAIRMAN HALL: So --and my thoughts about this thing, I would like to continue with the Gargiulo Education Center in that piece of property, and I would like to see if we could structure 1 • some kind of a way --instead of --you know, there's a bal~niti in the difference of the bids.

Page 28 Page 338 of 10663 November 12, 2024 COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Right. You'd have to check into that and make sure that we're not doing something that would be illegal in terms of the --this issue. And then the second question that I would ask is, how do we ensure that this remains as a not-for-profit into the long-term fu e? And I'm not sure how we do that. I'm sure there's a way that _...__~ County Attorney can come up with something. But, for e ~.i, there was a decision by the not-for-profit to ultimately e property for 1.3 million, or whatever it would be wo t at time, that would be bit of an embarrassment. .<"\" So I know that's not anybody's intent. ' ~~ere are some folks that would do that. I'm not saying you ~lilli!I ould at all. That's --I just want to make sure we're n do1 g anything that is putting the county at risk or is improp ..::.-.~~~ Florida law. MR. KLATZKOW: We'v cft ......... -..... 1~~~~··-r provisions in the past reserving the right to take the pr :::~·--..ack if they change the use. We've done that in the past. ere's money involved here, there would have to be sorn ---o of proration, but we've done that before. COMMISSIONER UNDERS: Okay. As long as we can protect the cou 's i erest in the long-term future with this property --b u it is a substantially discounted sales price , and I just want to ~~:;::e sure we're --you know, five years from now we don't read , .. _'""_,........., newspaper that it was sold for $2 million. ~•I~ AN HALL: One of the things that made me le is they've been doing this for 23 years, so that's --it's not started a year and a half ago, and we may not work. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Right. MS . SCOTT: And if I could just make a clarification, because one thing I did not include in my presentation was our in-house appraisal was approximately $991,000, give or take some change. Page 29 Page 339 of 10663 November 12, 2024 We paid 675,000, give or take, for the property. Our commercial note was 875,000, and that includes engineering fees and environmental assessments that were done at the time. CHAIRMAN HALL: Commissioner Locastro. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Thank you, Chairman.'-. The numbers as they are on the screen right now I wasn' ~ comfortable with, because one of the things you have to re n ~ is the county actually doesn't own this piece of property; t ers do. So if we sold it to you for 674,000, we're basically gi p the difference with the other bid and subsidizing, you organization. Nobody here questions the value of you not about that. And also, it's not just --w, it's easy to say, well, then it's all about the money. W. --~,,,.. ........... , know, when taxpayers beat us up for their taxes going e t r going down two cents, it does matter. And so we're her, otect the taxpayer interest. So to have my strong su , hich you do have, it has to be close to something that Co 1 1oner Hall just, you know, suggested. So if you e to go back and make sure that, you know, one million-ish an ny of the other small pieces or whatnot --beca th f n what it does do is it allows us to recoup the taxpayer mo what we've invested in the property. Selling it to you for 6 oesn't do that, and so it has to be somewhere in the middle. , ... ..,..,_.., sounds like the proposal that he's made takes all my ~~~ y because of the value of what this land provides the c ~-• y and what you-all do. if you can come to some sort of, you know, agreement that's very close to what he proposed, it has my full support. But I want to just go on record and say a lot of times when people say, "Oh, the county own this, and the county owns that," the county doesn't own anything. The taxpayers own this piece of land, Page 30 Page 340 of 10663 November 12, 2024 and if we sold it at a significant discount well below what we would get to even recoup our investment, that's not something that I could support. But it sounds like we have something that's fair, and it's equitable and makes the most sense. So if you can come to so sort of agreement or if you already have, then this would hav~, support. ~ CHAIRMAN HALL: Commissioner McDaniel? " COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes, Mr. Cha· L~ 11 First of all, I want to thank you for bringing t • .

Yeah. I j wa t to express my feelings also that, you know, we are the sa u d of the public and the public's money, and, you know, the e~-....,.,. o Collier County own this property. And, you kno • the business of making profit on flipping properties. I ..-..... a not what your government's supposed to do, but at the s ,af--.__._,..,, we have to safeguard what we have invested in these pro ies because we don't want to short the citizens that own these properties. So, yeah, I think --and I think what we're talking about up here is kind of out of the boundaries of what we can do today, from what I understand, is one of the decisions we can make, but it would have to Page 31 Page 341 of 10663 November 12, 2024 come back to us. And if this organization's serious about it, they'd have to come back seriously with what numbers will work for the county for the citizens of Collier County to make this work. But if that happens, I'll be in total support of it, so ... CHAIRMAN HALL: We have some public comment, b~ before, I'm going to make a motion --I'm going to make a m ~ ~ that we direct staff to get with --to get with the Gargiulo ~--- Center, work out the terms of the deal to bring it back, U ~-L---- they can live with, something that we can live it, and • somewhere close to that 991-figure. that to be COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Sec nd.

North ue's interest is where the Gargiulo Education Center years, have been part of our community, coming to our s, we work on programs with them, and that's how my u~ytion was with them. ut before I start, I want to thank the County Manager's Office because how this happened was because of our communication and our great relationship working together. There's an EMS station that you're not building anymore. You no longer need it because you're Page 32 Page 342 of 10663 November 12, 2024 housed with me in the station that I'm building down the street. That's the savings the county did just because of us communicating so we're not building stations one mile apart. The property came into surplus --well, the property came available because there was no EMS station, and Mary was loo ... ,._ ... _('"" for property. So I'm the one that told her, "Hey, go talk tot ~ county, because they may not" --so I brought --blame me bringing a buyer to the county to be able to see if they~c purchase the property to keep that organization in there. My partnership with them will come in after t come the owner. I am committed --because we need st i -.... -e gave up --you know, everybody --industrial area, '-'.P~v,..,need storage, community rooms.

COMMISSIONER KOWAL: Thank you, Chairman. I agree with you. I'm not --I'm not one to have big government always in everybody's lives, but at the same time you've got to Page 36 Page 346 of 10663 November 12, 2024 understand, this is more or less a public-safety item, not so much an overreach, and it's only reinforcing a statute that was written several years back by the legislation that's already in law. It was the texting and driving statute which was, you know --my own experience in implementing it, it was very poorly written, very poorly interpre d, and very poorly enforced in our --in our judicial system be ~\- the poor writing of it. ~ And I think this particular proclamation and bring· is forth will just strengthen a statute that's already on the boo o make --make it more enforceable to the point wh ill make it safer for our public. So, yeah, I'm totally s p 1 that, you know, and us taking a stance and saying, "H gree with this," because we know statistically that textin nd anipulating a phone while driving is actually worse than dr· 1-~-'V-hile under the influence of a controlled substance or alco o • e. It's been proven. It's a proven fact throughout the through studies. The only good thing is y: put your phone down. You can't take the alcohol out o.,..-,~--system or the drugs. And if this does that, then I think .. ,,~LdJ"be a plus for everybody and all their loved ones that ever had suffer because of this negligence. So I'm totally supporti f is. CHAI ALL: Thank you, sir.

MR. T : Thank you , Ms. Patterson. Comm1 • ners, Chairman Hall, good morning. So I'..,..,..._._~· g to just do a quick, brief overview of kind of how 'Wl"',.ew-to this point today. We've had several Tourist ent Council meetings over the past couple of months, so I d of wanted to give you a quick rundown of that, if I could. o the September 17th TDC meeting, the council had a discussion on our waning occupancy numbers and then also a discussion on a little bit of a surplus fund that we have in reserves of $12.2 million. So they directed and asked staff, "Hey, what can we Page 39 Page 349 of 10663 November 12, 2024 do with these occupancy numbers, and especially in light of these dollars we have?" And so they directed staff to bring back some options for them to consider for marketing, to kind of beef up our marketing efforts for FY'25. So staff did that. And at the October 15th meeting, we t back three options for the council to consider. They selec tion 1, which is an option totaling $5,067,500. We presen}" t o other options , like I mentioned. Those options were for $3 N1 ion and 2.4 , just about $2.5 million. ~ ~ So the council then discussed these opt· on -,~ selected Option 1. They wanted to have an emergen,ui.v..,,__, ·ng the following week, which was October 23rd, to furthe isc s this and then kind of work on the presentation and what ~·~'Oil.,--w as going to be presented, ultimately, to the Boa ♦, --~-~'-~--Commissioners. Excuse me. So that's kind of where . So I'd kind of like to walk you through a little bit of kind re we stand with kind of our tourism economy, if I could ta minutes to do that. So let me move ahe here with the slides. So --actua , fi ~t I'm going to back up, and I'm going to cover this item for e ncy hurricane recovery marketing request. So as we heard the nda item earlier, this request is actually for two item • ..... ,"-{,j,.__,_ hin one agenda item. So one is a request of $ , 0 t ind of really address the negative perceptions out there storms that we just recently had here in Southwest Florida e lly for most of Florida for that. And so the ask is for $390,000 for additional marketing funds so we can beef up our marketing, and directly related to addressing negative perceptions. So the council made a recommendation of $390,000. We do have an emergency fund, and that is Fund 1106, Page 40 Page 350 of 10663 November 12, 2024 and there is $1.5 million in that fund. And I know I had a couple conversations with commissioners on Friday. And so we have a couple different pots that we can pull from, and I think I might have mentioned to Commissioner Saunders, I think I might have said $2 million. But when I spoke to Chris Johnson after our meetl said that he was more comfortable with that $1.5 million figu , he wanted to leave those other funds, that other half millio ~1:.""l rs, untouched, so it is $1.5 million. So that's one item. Q And then the other item is for the $5 million whi is enhanced marketing efforts, and now I'll kind of talk a little a ut current state of tourism and how we got here. So, :¼OU , s I just mentioned, we've obviously had to address n ,~~v perceptions with storms, but, you know, we've also had to dr s, you know , negative perceptions with, obviously, you kno • e, you know, the economy, certainly the pan demi ~ -----· ...... , ou know, hurricane, hurricane, hurricane. So, you know, our occu l-l',.,..-...... ~,--.--umbers, if you look at this chart here, the highlighted area ... .....,,,,II{,/ u see Naples. So we're looking at two numbers. And s ._._ .... ":'8 ........... all of 64 percent hotel occupancy, and then the leisure side of th' is 46.2 percent, and group, obviously, is making up abo 8 ~rcent of that number. So I jus a d to stress this. And you can kind of see how we are in the e-..._. ........ g order. I mean, we're second to last in the state, and then - , I shouldn't say "the State." Out of our comp set. And e see here that we have some tourism development tax . .-. ......... ..,_,r or the last quarter of Fiscal Year '24, and our TDT numbers are ing to decline a little bit, not much, about a quarter of a million dollars. But there is definitely a correlation between those occupancy numbers and the TDT numbers being collected. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Mr . Tusa, can I just jump in just for the record? Page 41 Page 351 of 10663 November 12, 2024 MR. TUSA: Yes, sure. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Just to set the table a little bit, because we had the benefit of many TDC meetings because I'm the chair, and Commissioner Hall will be the chair next year. So I can cheat a little bit because these are slides that I've --you know, ke up in the middle of the night screaming, you know, because~! the details on here. But first of all, to correct one thing, you're not ask · or 300,000 for emergency and for 5 million. You're as spend money that you control, but you have to come to t m1ss1oners to ask our permission to write that check becau ve and beyond, you know, your normal spending. •~"'-ally think it would be more advantageous to break th ~~ to two different things--A~ MR. TUSA: Sure. •,".., COMMISSIONER LoCAS O~ --because you have two asks here. One is your emergenc -..,,.•"",., ... _.}.'-~ ask after the recent storms that we've had in a row, and th you know, that's standard. We've had many department e here, Emergency Management and others, that say, you kno the storm's over. We have a pot of money to spend ri nf these emergency times that were more negatively a t and in this particular case, to counter the last few storms --I m , and you correct me if I'm wrong --we're asking for 300,000 . .L,~'.;7'"_._ ... e, in particular --to not sort of just mash all the two ecause they're two totally separate things. You know, if _--Yl '-'r commissioners have any, you know, questions about the 300, 00 to ask basically permission to spend that money that you already have --and that's what these tourism dollars are for --and you have well more than 300,000 if we want to break that up and explain where that 300,000 will go. Page 42 Page 352 of 10663 November 12, 2024 But I just think for the sake of argument, before we dive into this one, that we should --we should discuss that, vote on it. I mean, obviously, I'm in favor of it, or else we wouldn't have brought it here. So as the TDC chairman, you know, I already would make the motion that we allow the $300,000 worth of emergency spendin ·n a multitude of ways that you can dive into. I --obviously, if I~ issue with it, I wouldn't have had it come to the Board her~ v But we're behind several other counties not only i rgency spending when these storms hit, but then when we m ~,.r, nto this second request to spend TDC dollars, it's the same f thing. But I just thought, for the emergency spendi H --I don't want to call it a formality, but we vote on em~~1'=~·U""., spending for lots of departments, and that's what this i So I don't particularly have any "':-..... ~~---~ .. on that, but I'd make a motion to approve that based on ~ o e gues have any questions or don't. MR. TUSA: I apprecia , and I mean, that depends on however the Board wants t ~--~eed, I mean, if they want to address it as two items. We wQ J asked by the TDC council to bring it forward as one item, so ~ COMMIS N ~ LoCASTRO: Can you go back to that slide on the em M 0 his one here? .,_,...,....., ONER LoCASTRO: Can you just give kind of a w on if that money was approved in total to be spent out n funds, how you would utilize it. R. TUSA: Yeah. So we would utilize these funds to beef up our efforts for digital, social and then for display and video ads. So it's kind of like a commercial. I mean, this isn't broadcast television, because that's really expensive, and $400,000 isn't going to get us too far with broadcast television. This is for like, you know, when Page 43 Page 353 of 10663 November 12, 2024 you're streaming and you see a commercial on streaming, so it's that type of advertising. So it's digital, social, and then video. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Yeah. I was just going to add, and then I'll leave it there, that we did this very thing after Ian, you know, that we approved emergency funds to basically coun what was out there saying --and I think the tagline was, "Co U~ County is open for business," that sort of thing. ~ So we're maybe a little bit late in doing that her~, • s would allow us to add a bit more of an aggressive , you kno , e 1nder to people that we're still not doing cleanup. And oth c nties have already done that. ~ .. MR. TUSA: Yeah. ~ ~ COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: th ~the emergency request to spend the --what's the exa~ • st for the record? MR. TUSA: It's $390,000 • ~~ COMMISSIONER LoCAS ~ Okay. CHAIRMAN HALL: Commissioner McDa • . COMMISSIONE c NIEL: Thank you, Mr. Chair. these two separ second porti Commission t sure that it's necessary that we vote on ly, ut I do have some questions about the --as the is --this agenda item.

So we'll then move on to the second part of that agenda item, the $5 million in enhanced marketing efforts . So let me advance the slides here a little bit. '-. So let's see. I think I covered everything on this slide. ~ COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: And I'll preface th· rr ¥ again, that this is --because there was some stuff out in u media when we talked about this at a TDC meeting , a i sound like Jay's coming here and asking us for a c ...... _..,........ He controls an account that has TDC dollars in it, but in r • te a check that he --out of an account that he controls, ne;~~ our perm1ss1on. We all understand that, but I just want to t t t in there for the record, because there was an article th omething --you know, TDC asks Collier County for $5 Alll. ...... ,,w. n that's not the case. He's sitting on 13-plus-million fa .,~L.,,_,s like this. And one of the things w sked Jay with when he was hired --and we all rememb ., ... .,.. .......... standing at the podium, and we said, "Listen, you're a of eyes. You're bringing a lot of aggressive experience he that maybe we haven't had previously. Shake the tree a 8 see if we're doing everything possible, if we're spendi fl axpayer dollars wisely, if we're wasting it." We've ha a of really fruitful conversations up here. "Do we really wa ....,,.....,__,end X number of dollars overseas and here and ther ' ~~,.... know , we want to know that we're --you know, what I co ...... ~~nly say at the TDC meetings is, "I don't want to spend any money. I want to invest it." And so --and then I want it proven that that investment was worth it. And, you know, Jay has really shaken the trees with the great Page 45 Page 355 of 10663 November 12, 2024 TDC staff that we already had, but from a different perspective. And we also wanted to --I think it was something that one of the other commissioners --it might have even been you, Commissioner Hall, that had said at one of the other meetings, "What are the other counties doing?" Let's --at the time we were kind of like, "Well, we thin doing a lot, but we really don't know." And you've put th 1 h~. ~ And I can just tell you at the TDC meeting we w ~n surprised and disappointed more than we thought t t me counties that are a lot less than Collier are doing a he k ,n.1 _...,,.ore to, you know, combat some of the negative publicit ,,....1..r:i,~~._, e storms, but also , on the flip side, to make sure they d 't 1 e market share. And regardless, if people think tourism in ~.!'~~;; ... ounty is important or not, it is. It does an awful lot fo _ .... " .... -~"'" .... 1-me residents. But anyway, just to set that e ere, so you have 13-point-something in your a right now, and what you're proposing to us is three dif!;:',~~~..._possibilities . MR. TUSA: Ri COMMISSIONER CASTRO: The TDC recommended the first one of 5 m· • n ind change to be spent from that 13-, but, you know you're • n o --and then you're also going to show us how we com know, to other counties, why we're concerned. : Right. ---- ISSIONER LoCASTRO: Okay. TUSA: Thank you, Commissioner. I appreciate you kind e ing that up for my next slide. ut just real quick, before we depart from this one, just one comment that I'd like to make as far as the occupancy rates. So, you know, one thing also that we need to consider as we move forward is the influx of new hotels rooms coming online in this next year. I Page 46 Page 356 of 10663 November 12, 2024 mean, we're projecting a thousand hotel rooms coming online, and so that will definitely have an impact on our occupancy rates. I mean, that's another 147,000 room nights just for us to stay at our current level. And so without increased demand, we could fall by an additional 5 percent. So it's really important that we rea try to stay ahead of this with our marketing efforts. ~ And you can see here this slide --we kind of got a litt ~eW behind the curtain just a moment ago with Commissione comment. So this is a comparison of the different D s, our competitive set within the state of Florida, and yo ind of see the highlighted area at the bottom there. T at' lier County. And so I just wanted to kind of give so .. ....,,__ se numbers that Commissioner Locastro just mentioned, me four competitors and what they're doing. So several organ· ~-.-:-have increased their budgets recently. Visit Tampa· a: e eir budget by $6 million; Amelia Island by $5.2 million;~-rasota and Bradenton CVB contributed each $100,000 to ery marketing effort that Visit Florida is then matchin h ...... ~ .. -1 lion dollars to. Space Coast Offi rism is also increasing its budget. Visit Florida is going to asking the legislature for an additional $20 million. S ou t an kind of, obviously, see there's a trend there. Everybody's 1 their game when it comes to marketing their destinations. nd so for us to stay competitive, it's definitely e need to look at and consider. ~ ... t_,, re's any questions about this, I'd be happy to answer o response.) R. TUSA: And then --so here is a slide. So, obviously, we just addressed the hurricane recovery marketing, and again, thank you for that approval. The next item is the TDT reserve investment out of the Fund Page 47 Page 357 of 10663 November 12, 2024 1101, and you can kind of see there the list: Feeder market growth and expansion, enhanced efforts to impact off season, strengthen sales efforts, expand paid advertising, and additional research data and insights . So some of the markets, I know --I had a conversation wi Commissioner Hall on Friday, and he was interested in kind of the markets and what that would look like for an exp ans· we're looking at, you know, markets like Boston, Phila Detroit, Indianapolis. So the Northeast and the Mid And one thing I will just say, some of this ki o on where we ultimately land with the dollar m n p vided by the Board. And so it might just be an expansio_L_L'""~U.::IIIW'ent markets. It could be additional markets , but then it d en want to select and how expensive thos ... ...,_._ .... _ts are. I mean, obviously, if we want to market • market. If we want to market in So that just kind of determine media buys when we dete • from the Board. o City, very expensive a a, very expensive market. e we'll ultimately place our e amount of money that we get COMMISSIONER CASTRO: But you're not getting money from the Boar~Y o re getting approval to spend money that you have. ~" MR. T : Approval from the Board. Thank you. And -,u,.,. ..... ...,,. ow, Commissioner Hall, you had also asked a stions on research. So some of the additional research n branding and positioning, exploring our markets and e want to expand to, and then also for our market perception, what do people think about our destination. So those are some of the marketing efforts that we could do with these additional dollars. And then here you can kind of see --I mean, this is just the slide of kind of why we're here today. I mean, the value of supporting Page 48 Page 358 of 10663 November 12, 2024 Collier County tourism. I mean, it's about economic impact. And for me, I'm really passionate about the jobs. You know, people make their livelihoods off of tourism jobs. It's how they feed their families and give them shelter, you know, pay their rent, their mortgage. And so I think these are really important numbers. '-. Looking at the total wages, $1.2 billion, and the local touris ~j~'- 28,000-plus jobs. ~ CHAIRMAN HALL: I would --Jay, let me just--~ of the things that I had a conversation with Mr. Tusa about • l~was how would we feel as a tourism director if we verified t s umbers from a third party, and he actually said to me, he ai , ' e verify it from a third party." He said, "We don't com • h these." So I thought the public should know that, bee important that we're not just making these numbers up to ..,LIW'J, ............. sound good. This is actually what somebody else tha ~ --~ ...... ~ ....... ,...... came back and told us. So I just thought that was worthYi ..,~_ .. ..,. MR. TUSA: Thank yo .._H"II, .................. -yy\an. CHAIRMAN HALL: o missioner Saunders. COMMISSIONE DERS: Just a quick question, and maybe I should have wai until the end. With the P di sl Coast sports facility and professional soccer coming there ·---~--suming that the TDC takes a look at what the potential im...,_.,,...,.. wi 1 be in terms of promotion of this as a destination. Am I corr ..... ..,.,.._ aking that assumption? And if I am, what types of thin ~~ u be looking at? Because that impacts the amount that advertise as well. R. TUSA: Correct. So I mean, we'll be looking at --I mean, obviously, our demographic, where people are coming from, you know, our feeder markets for our sports tourism, in particular, football, soccer. So we'll be looking at those things as, you know, they have their inaugural year coming up. Page 49 Page 359 of 10663 November 12, 2024 COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Right. So would you be able to set up some meetings with --I think it's FC Naples, if I'm saying that correctly --with them to understand what their marketing program will be and how marketing this destination will be part of that marketing effort? '-. MR. TUSA: Absolutely. And I actually had a meetin ~~ week with Roberto Moreno, and so we have a great relatio • ith FC Naples, and so those are definitely some things th ~. ~e n talk about with them . ~" COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Sometim t the first of the year, I'd like to hear from you as to what th -.:~~-"II'-' will be. And part of that rationale in asking for that i ,,..,_~" ot a major investment in that Paradise Coast facility: nd ere are a lot of benefits that we're going to be getting ....., ... ~~ ... ...,.,t, and this is one of them. And so I'd like some ana HW',.-.·--that's going to play out. MR. TUSA: Happy to wor at for you. COMMISSIONER SA Thank you. CHAIRMAN HALL: MR. TUSA: Th des my presentation. So if there's any questions of the Board, y know, I'd like --I hope I addressed some of the questions at I~eceived on Friday in my one-on-one meetings, but I'm certa • py to answer any other questions you might have. HALL: We have some public comment, but befo t t e have Commissioner LoCastro. MISSIONER LoCASTRO: Well, let's hear from the pu • c omment, and then I'll -- R. MILLER: We have 12 registered speakers for this item, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, it's 10: 18. Did you want to start these, or do you want to take a court reporter break and then do --what's your pleasure? Page 50 Page 360 of 10663 November 12, 2024 CHAIRMAN HALL: We have 12; that's 36 minutes' worth. I think we're getting ready to pass this. Let's take a court reporter break. Then we'll come back and do that. So let's be back at 10:30. (A brief recess was had from 10:19 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.) MS. PATTERSON: Chair, you have a live mic. '-. CHAIRMAN HALL: All right. Before we get to pub~~ comment, if necessary, we'll --Commissioner LoCastro. ~ COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Thank you, Ch • n. As the chair of the TDC, I just want to assure m o agues and anybody who's listening, we have just done an un • e a le amount of homework, deep dive. We had an emer n ...-.--....-• g which went several hours. A lot of pencils have b db'"~P1..._,...,ened to go into this. You know, I can't stress enough t • __ , .. r,, the tourism, you know, development senior leader sittin i o s asking us for money. He controls money and comes to a fresh set of eyes, and we've asked him to shake the nd he has done that. And he's asking permission to spend • hon of the 13 million and change that he has in an acco a: identified for this exact purpose. And so --and I kno hat you've spent a lot of time with other comm1ss1oners. hi ~s --this is important to us, but it's something that we defi • lly understand and grasp. I know e got 12 speakers, and what you have in those 12 speakers venture to say --and correct me if I'm wrong --you .......,_.L ,_~· r aders from the community --from the business c ~-• y. You know, I'm looking at the top people in the au~~!~e here from the JW Marriott, from the Ritz-Carlton, FC Naples is here represented, and they've all been very, very involved in our TDC meetings. And so this catches us up to where a lot of other counties are. If they came to the podium, I have no doubt that I could encapsulate Page 51 Page 361 of 10663 November 12, 2024 what they're going to say, which is, "We talked to our colleagues at these other counties, and every time a storm hits, every time a hurricane hits, a lot of these counties, they jumped on what we're about to do, hopefully about to do, some of them a lot quicker than us." So, Jay, I really take my hat off to you leading, you kno group and being plugged in with our community so quickl in the seat, and the meetings that we've had have been --a e gotten us to this point, and if all of the TDC board didn't feel m ortable with Option 1 and how that money is going to be _..,...,.. r y invested in a variety of ways we wouldn't have, you know, a e proposal. So rather than --you know, I'll just --a an be heard at the podium, and I'm not here to stifle voi , li to have 12 people come up here and convince us of som~t1'1"11"" at I'm already convinced of --but I can't speak o c 1 agues. So I'll make a motion that O • be approved, the 5 point --what's the exact --~ MR. TUSA: $5,067, ~~.,., CHAIRMAN H .... ~ e've already approved the 390-. COMMISSIONER CASTRO: Right. We've already approved the e ge cy spending --so that that be approved and that you go f orw ut as we said in the TDC meetings, if, in fact, this e , that you come back to the commissioner ~r:;~IIMr "'gular basis when --to give us a report card as to what oing, like you said, depending on the amount and also is, so that we know how you're investing these dollars. Bu ' make a motion that Option 1 be approved as is. CHAIRMAN HALL: I'll second that and just make a comment with my second. This is money that we collect from the tourists that come here, and this is money that we're going to allow to go back to get more tourists to come here and give us more tourism dollars. So Page 52 Page 362 of 10663 November 12, 2024 it's not --this money's not coming from any other source, so it's not an emergency fund or anything --it's money that we collect to do this very thing. So we have a motion and a second. All in favor, say aye. MR. MILLER: Mr. Chair, we have the public speakers. sorry, sir. CHAIRMAN HALL: I'm going to ask that we vote, you want to speak, you can. If there's anybody in op ~~tl • there anybody in opposition to this in the crowd? ~ (No response.) .{"\~ CHAIRMAN HALL: I want to defini ely \~ou to speak before we vote.

And then to the point Commissioner Locastro just made, I will be back, and I will be giving you updates, so --but, again, thank you for doing this for the industry. (Applause.) COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: If there is anybody --I know Page 53 Page 363 of 10663 November 12, 2024 a lot of you in the audience. You know, I'm familiar with your faces and names and what you do for our community. If you have anything to say, like the Chairman said, you know, the podium's here. But if not, I would just say please continue, as I know you will, to really stay plugged in with our tourism director and the TDC an make sure that we're getting your good ideas, that you're find· what your colleagues in other counties --because that was o charge that all of us gave Jay, which was, "Come here we're not falling behind." And this just isn't about spending money to d ..... ___,LIJ on the roads --and I'm sure it will be spun b s way --but it's also about protecting our jobs. You see her'"'"''~ , you know, 30,000-plus, and that might even be a litt bit w, but like you said, we've had --these are numbers we did ' .... ~ ...... ,__, up. And it's also about reminding people that this c'1 ·t 1s back from the storms. And so it's not just about pa 'IV .... "'"J!'II&!. eople into hotels.

So we would give them ample time to find another location in the future should that become a Page 58 Page 368 of 10663 November 12, 2024 project that we're moving forward on. And with that, Trinity --or Commissioner Locastro maybe. CHAIRMAN HALL: LoCastro. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Yeah. Thank you, Chairman, and County Manager. Just to set the table --and Representative Rommel did s shoot out a note and said, "What more can we do to help h ""'"""".""' veterans?" And, I mean, heck, we just passed a procla saying November's , you know, honoring veterans mo couldn't come at a better time. We had multiple meetings. So what y u'r, n is the result of multiple meetings that I was P•AA-.1-...'l;l_,resentative Rommel, senior county staff agencies in e c munity that help veterans. And Warrior Homes alreadAl-.l ~[\V ur homes to house homeless veterans, Alpha, Bravo d Delta house, which they actually just had a big fundr r few days ago and raised a million dollars to pay off the ouse. But Dale Mullin, who' resident/founder/CEO of Warrior Homes, made it clear t H still have a waitlist of some people. And as Ms. Patterson sai we have these two homes that basically are going --I d w ""t to say "unused," but minimally utilized. And so whil e e sitting there --as we said, it doesn't tie the homes u future if we decide that we have a project that needs to m f'I.-.---_..ILO-'-~, but, you know, to even help a veteran for six r, or however long is, I think, something that we would a d we're not donating the homes. You'll hear there's a proposal to, you know, have Warrior Homes compensate the county for use of these homes. So it wasn't any kind of, like, free handout or anything. But a lot of great work went into what Ms. Scott's going to present here with a lot of folks involved. Page 59 Page 369 of 10663 November 12, 2024 And I'm proud of what the outcome is here. And I think --who said it on the panel here when we were talking about the land project? I think it was you, Mr. Chairman, that said, you know, a good deal is something that benefits, you know, both parties. And in this particular case, we sharpened a lot of pencils t~ figure out how we could do this and how we could, in the en ~ care of veterans who are homeless. Not in perpetuity, but a length of time that would at least get some people off t s e s and allow the county to be --continue to be part of the sol on. So, Ms. Scott, you know, that at least maybe s e table, and thank you in advance for all the hard work t at Ms. Patterson and the rest of our county staff did to work come up with this proposal. MS. SCOTT: Certainly. I'll go ~-"'~ this very quickly. The two properties. 1973 a s a three-bedroom, two-bath home; 2015 Bay Street, o three-bathroom, two-bath home.

Maintenance costs: Minor repairs would be covered by the Warriors, and the county would be responsible for repair or Page 60 Page 370 of 10663 November 12, 2024 replacement involving major structural, mechanical, electrical, or plumbing failures. Our recommendation today is to approve the resolution and authorize the Chair to execute the standard form long-term lease. Any questions? '-.

Dale Mulli , many of you know, could not be here today. He's speaki~a o elessness conference in Orlando, so he had to be there. As far as the number of veterans, w ' e b • eving it's somewhere around 30 to 40 homeless veterans at t ·~.,.,JIO'l"lt,l_t in time. So it's a little bit less than what was indic t~ --•-was discussed. Four or five years ago, that -""" r was about 90 to 95. And currently, in the last four or fi s, we've --as Mr. Locastro has said, we've put together fo r erties and those four properties now house 3 3 veterans, so veterans that have been taken off the streets. They weren't al cessarily on the streets, but they --many of these have v li rrlfted income, and many of these would be e ot for Warrior Homes. By the county approving these two r ~l't-1-ies, that will bring the number of beds we have up to 39 beds e is just phenomenal in trying to address this issue . 1 .L~~~ recognize that it could be just a temporary or an interim it will --we have people right now that are ready to move ..__,,...,._....e of those properties. o this is --as far as we're concerned, we have --basically, our goal is to end homelessness in Collier County. And if you look at the state of Florida, Florida and four other states make up 50 percent of veteran homelessness across the United States. If we are able to Page 62 Page 372 of 10663 November 12, 2024 achieve getting rid of homelessness in Collier County, that will say an awful lot for this county and for what the commissioners have done, and that is certainly an attainable goal, and that is what we were looking for. Our philosophy is "no veterans should be left behind," and that is really what we're shooting for. And as far as the veterans that go into these properties, t,,.,..,,.,,._.... 1 be fully vetted. We have a rental management company t three of our properties. We will also be looking at the vi t ans' discharge papers, their DD214s.

And I do want to ec t at we were really emphatic --this lease is very detailed. We were emphatic that if there's four homes that exist already, that those homes be used to vet the veterans. And as --and Dale Mullin was part of every meeting and he basically said --I mean, paraphrasing --that graduates from our current four homes is who we Page 63 Page 373 of 10663 November 12, 2024 would put --you know, this is county property. So as was just stated, we're not pulling four unknown, or whatever the number is, homeless veterans off the street and they're starting in these county houses. It will allow you to shift some people around so that we ha confidence that the folks that are in the county-owned prope ~ homes are vetted and have proven to be, you know, good t ~tV,and then it frees up beds in some of your --the houses that 11 ontrol. And we liked, you know, that option as well as. An all in the lease. So I think this is a good solution all the wa , and every little bit helps. MR. BUCKLEY: And many of these limited income, and those that do, the on thi we charge is 30 percent of their income. So some e~-..:ocial Security might only make $1,200 a month on S 1 c r , the most they're going to pay is $3 60. So they will hav money invested, but we're not going to tum anyone awa se of the lack of resources. COMMISSIONER L.n.-~ 0: So unless there's any questions, I'd make a t ~1'1~at we approve this lease as is. MS. PATTERSON: ommissioner, if I may, I did get the information o po nt in time 2024 survey for veterans is 96. MR. "_..,_---~Y_: Ninety-six, okay. CO IO ER KOWAL: I do have a question. HALL: Commissioner Kowal. ---ISSIONER KOWAL: Thank you, Chairman. 0 , I'd like to thank you and what Dale have done, you know, our homeless veteran population here in Collier County. 'm kind of familiar what you guys do, you know, with the Alpha, Delta --Alpha, Bravo, Delta, Charlie --Charlie, Alpha, Bravo --my brain's fried this morning. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: You were in the Army? Page 64 Page 374 of 10663 November 12, 2024 COMMISSIONER KOWAL: I know. I know. I know the phonetic alphabet very well. But I guess my question is --ultimately, we don't want to see any homeless veterans. We want to see all our veterans get to a point where they can, you know, stand on their own two feet, yo know, and be out there and be, you know, positive in our co ...... ~ ......... ,..,._ So I guess my question is, you know, you've had this going for some time now, and you've had the other four o es in the process. Where --is there proactive programs with s e f the guys that are capable of, you know, getting to the point e e they're not dependent on the homes anymore, that they' e , ou know, you see, you know, them progress through ...,.,.,........ elp that --you know, now they're just --they're in the c m ity, they're surviving on their own, they're renting their ow ......... ~ ........ -..... ,.ents, things of that nature. I mean, because, ultima o t want to have to be here forever for that. MR. BUCKLEY: Righ COMMISSIONER K We want them to get to a point where --and I underst"-.."''--1" e that are, you know, handicapped or some that have, you kno certain situations. They may be dependent on o ni 2'ions like yourself. And, yo . ...,.-... ,......... --but can you just kind of help me on, you know, do s t --are you guys seeing that, you know, as long as you've be ~~~IIIW"' ........ e program, or are you just pretty much helping who you We help who we can, but we also do see or example, we have --one of our residents in Delta house is a former Navy officer, and he's studying for his master's degree right now. And once he gets that degree and gets employed, he will certainly move elsewhere. And, you know, we're not pushing anyone out, but we're all Page 65 Page 375 of 10663 November 12, 2024 encouraging them to move forward. Some of them, like I say, are aged, and they will probably be there, you know, for the rest of their lives because they don't have family that they can go with. But to the extent that people are younger and motivated, that's certainly what we encourage them to do, and we'll do what we can to he them. ~ COMMISSIONER KOWAL: I just kind of ask that s t'ttfn so the public can hear, you know, that --you know, this is ~ just --we're not just creating housing for these indivi ;1}'(nd just warehousing them. You know, we want the ones n to provide for theirselves, eventually get out of that rut an b o there and be positive in the community. So thank you fo MR. BUCKLEY: Right. Exactly. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: I'll just add that all You know, the Delta r s in there that it is their last signated for that. But, you house has, like you said, elderly stop, and their particular unit know, correct me if I'm wr Bravo, just like you sa • , e've got veterans in Alpha and ose are transition houses to get them on their feet -- MR.BU C COMM address Right. ER LoCASTRO: --to get --to give them an an get a job, and then -- LEY: Right. ----- ISSIONER LoCASTRO: --they're not there in p ~lllb I mean, the plan --and the other houses that are tra _____ Jlr nal is just that, that it gives them a place to sort of restart, regroup, and then, you know, exit and free up the bed for somebody new to you come in, and I already know that you've had that turnover in, you know, some of the earlier houses that have been designed for that. Page 66 Page 376 of 10663 November 12, 2024 MR. BUCKLEY: That is exactly correct. That's how it is designed. And of Delta house, for example, that is 10 units. They're all two-bedroom, two-baths, so it houses 20 vets. And I can tell you the vets are extremely proud that are in there. The transitional house, we have Alpha, which is a tradition house that houses some vets that have gone through veteran t1'""'""~'l'lift,,t court. In fact, one of the speakers at our gala Saturday ni through veterans treatment court. He spent 41 months i in the Middle East. He came back with a lot of pro bl s, and now he's engaged with our organization to be a peer-to e ounselor to veterans, and primarily veterans from the M"dd s, nd I don't think there was a dry eye when he spoke, an -~~~use it all came from the heart Saturday night.

I had a --if Trinity could please put up that screen with regard to the lease negotiations, I have a couple of thoughts I'd like to suggest. There you go. Thank you. Page 67 Page 377 of 10663 November 12, 2024 The first thing I'd like to say is I love this mission. I think we --at the end of the day we can't do enough to support our veterans and especially those that are homeless. One of the things that I'd like to propose to you, my collea~es, is maybe we make an adjustment in the suggested rent here fro thousand dollars a month to a dollar a month and then ask th .......... , __ folks from the homes for Warriors is give us a report on h 're utilizing the money that they do, in fact, collect from th ~rans that they do house and show the value for the reduction in eYuts to be able to put back into the program to assist other ve a s as they're going along. That's my first suggestion is t at e the rent from a thousand dollars a month to a dollar a l said a dollar a month. But move it from a thousand do$s onth to a dollar a year. The second would be if, in 1 • will of the Board --I'm going to support the --I'm going u ort the program no matter which way we go with regard rent. But my other suggestion would be to put the --if,. in is the will of the Board to charge the thousand-dollar-a-........ .__.,_t nt, I'm going to suggest that we don't put it into the impact fee d just because there are specifics with regard to how a w!1'n and where we can spend those monies, but maybe move • into the maintenance side of Parks and Rec. If, in fact, w ~"--', ..... "'c1 e to continue on with that thousand-..,,..'U'.,L~ a-month, we move it over into the parks' ~~c-:,:, fund and not impact fee fund. IRMAN HALL: Where did the money from? S. PATTERSON: Parks impact fees. CHAIRMAN HALL: Parks impact? MS. PATTERSON: Yeah, so there is some difficulty with moving that money around. If we're not charging rent, that's a different thing, but the thousand dollars being pushed to maintenance Page 68 Page 378 of 10663 is not -- CHAIRMAN HALL: I like the fact -- COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Okay. November 12, 2024 CHAIRMAN HALL: I like the fact that these guys have their teeth involved a little bit. It gives them a pride of ownership. gives them some incentives to take care of things and to live e can appreciate the --I can appreciate the thought from Co ... ....,.lo!c...,,._, ... McDaniel, but I do like the fact that they're invested a~· t e it. Commissioner Locastro. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Thank yo , . hairman. You said it perfectly, because I can tell o a sand is what we got down to. It was higher than that, but ,µ.ll"~•ies concerned in the group --and I don't want to --you kn le Mullin, if he was listening right now, he'd be like, "Tak-.~j--.,,.·-·lar," but in reality, they do want to be vested. And the t o a: what we whittled it down to. And so, you know, an --~-,..., ess than that, obviously, helps the organization, and w debate that. But Mr. Mullin was v fortable with a thousand because the number was a littl i n er, and they, you know, in some discussions, negotiated it wn to that. And, of course, the value there for the ta ye~lso is that we're not just donating these houses and all that, t came to an agreement that was amenable to both parties and good deal, and it wasn't draining, you know, Wounded ""---.... -rr_.L:rors [sic] pocket, but it also wasn't giving them the e. _ ... v,__,nly thing I would say --and I know I made a motion, and ma I'll retract that just a little bit, because when this slide came back up, it reminded me of something. As Ms. Patterson said, if all of a sudden we need these houses, although it says in the lease 30 days, we're not kicking veterans out. But one of the things that we had had in a previous version --and I Page 69 Page 379 of 10663 November 12, 2024 wasn't part of the legal discussions that came down to what we see in front ofus. But I was more comfortable with 90 days. We made it really clear to Mr. Mullin that whatever's written in here is maybe a formality because, you know, we're going to be good stewards, but putting --you know, words matter, right, Commis • ner Saunders? And a legal document does matter. ~ So, you know, I think that answers the question. I th· ~~u know, Commissioner McDaniel has great intention, an 1 see if it's the will of the Board, but a thousand was somethi they felt like they were getting a good deal and they were v e . But I want to see if maybe anybody has an ..,.,.-.-::,,-t--= to at least in writing put something more than 30 days. I ~~.~ .. "'"' • f we were landlords --and we are landlords --and ha tenants in there , and, you know, we had in writing 30 days -Cl~~ ... be it's more of a formality, but I think seeing 90 i g would be something that I think would be a positive, .._._,..Jiow, improvement to this lease so that at least in writing it sh t, you know, we're not --that it covers both sides. (> ~ So I don't know a n,ycolleagues think, but that's a little bit of background on the tho and, and then I don't know your thoughts on the written • e ~ termination. I would propose that we make that 90 days e there's some sort of legal issue with that. MR. B L Y: Mr. Locastro, if I may, I believe the lease in clay notice of termination by either party, so ... ----- ISSI ONER LoCASTRO: Yeah, but I think that was c ~~~~~ ... ight, Ms. Patterson? R. KLATZKOW: There's a 30-day termination for convenience. We've done 90 days in the past. CHAIRMAN HALL: Commissioner McDaniel. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: What you have is a little dated. Page 70 Page 380 of 10663 November 12, 2024 MR. BUCKLEY: Oh, it is dated, okay. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Yes, sir. CHAIRMAN HALL: Go ahead, Commissioner McDaniel.

Commissioner Kowal COMMISSIONE Thank you, Chairman. I'd just like to say tn --you know, we've been doing a lot of good work. r ~"°al ~ enjoying my time here on the Board coming to another e .......... -.,..., other year here, the next meeting in December. I learned a ot. enjoy working with you guys . ... v,.,...., had an opportunity to speak yesterday at a veterans --~~~1 my speech I touched on some things that, you know, in on April 19th, you know, people refer to it as the shot round the world. And then on that day, you know, a lot of people became American veterans on that specific moment in time, but what they were fighting for was the liberty and to fight against tyranny and the rule of a monarch or a king, and that sparked a lot of other people in Page 81 Page 391 of 10663 November 12, 2024 the world to get motivated to do the same exact thing, followed by the Greeks. The Greeks fought against the Ottoman Empire that was controlling them for many, many years. It motivated them, you know, what the American veteran did and what we stood up for. And what we stood for is to have a government led by the '-. people, and the people have spoken when they voted last Tue ~ ~ And I know not everybody's happy. You can't make eve ---•'L&. happy. But we have to understand that the people are run this country, and when they vote, that's what cont s at happens in this country. And historically, we had v t that both the majority and the Electoral College both r barely --rarely happens. It's usually one or ~·~."'.L..,.r. And I think this nation has gotten to o t where they're seeing through the --I don't know --the med· rities, things that are being pushed down our throats a ct,· to live their lives, and I think they're waking up to it, and 1 it showed this past week, and that --of course, not eve going to be happy, but the way our government and the w veterans fought and died is to have the people have the v • e d when the people speak, that's the greatest thing of this cou It's the greatest part that makes this country what it • od~. So it do en in cycles. We're not always going to be happy with t esu t, but the great thing is we can always work harder ne~-""';;·.,; .. "', and it will just --you know, we always keep 'WI"'~ ard. This country corrects itself, I truly believe that. It oint where it starts to fall over a cliff, but it corrects itself. st wanted to put that on record that --you know, I know there s people out there that are unhappy with the results, but the reality is the results are the correction, and the people made that correction. Nobody else. CHAIRMAN HALL: Well said. Page 82 Page 392 of 10663 November 12, 2024 Commissioner Locastro. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Thank you, Chairman. I just have one thing. What I had pulled off of this BCC meeting, the Fiddler's Creek Section 29 development, and added it to the December 10th meeting, this one --I did that because this one '-. requires a bit of homework on all ofus. You know, this resi ~~ my district, but we all get to vote, as we always say. This is a big project with all of the moving parts. citizens are very vocal about it on both sides. I mea , 've gotten --it's a project that if you do --if you've alr one a deep dive, it's a development that's being propose . s fair amount of affordable housing, but there's some envir"'C,-L.,.c"'V"L_..,...,l impacts that are worthy of doing some background o And it just --it just behooves us t ......,-r. .... ecember 10th, I would just tell my colleagues, please co--..L .. -..L .. e repared as you can, be as available as you can, not only i • ens but also to the applicant. You know, the applicant's a c·~·-s well. So that --you know I yeah, it's in my district, but like we always say, we all vot -r..-e thing. It would just help if all five of us had perspective on • s. I know it would even help me to hear your thoughts, ~w, because you're hearing the same things I'm hearing but • 1 different ear. This on omplicated. And we've had other complicated ones. But this is "'..,..,,~.!!1~~ to --you know, we're just delaying it and, you kno 'l ote on it on the 10th. I really wanted to move it to give ·me to be available to citizens or to read e-mails or to sit fyou had the need, with the applicant so that we came here and we weren't at Step 0. I mean, trust me, I'm not at Step 0. But it would definitely help. That one's got a lot of heavy lifting in it, and it also has the potential to set precedent, you know, something else comes before us Page 83 Page 393 of 10663 November 12, 2024 that has, you know, similar moving parts as this one. It's not a slam dunk on either side. So I know I have a lot of homework to do, and that's why I wanted to give myself maximum time to speak more with Mike Bosi and the Growth Management team and to be available to citize~nd to the applicant as well. And, you know, the remainder oft ~ commissioners are going to need some of that as well whe prepare for this one, because this will be a big one. <" But having said that , that's all I've got. Thanks ~uch. We passed a lot of great things today. ..('\ ~ CHAIRMAN HALL: Commissioner au ~~ COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Tha -·-... -Mr. Chairman. I just want a quick report from the P du • vity Committee. They were tasked to take a look at red ..,.·IE'-, ... -'I!::.,.,, meras, and they did quite a bit of research from diff e ities that have red light cameras. They got a tremendou nt of research from the State of Florida, and they also eval e blue light issue that we just approved. And they're --th eaning away from recommending red light cameras, but once t were aware of the blue light issue, their view is to --the o cl like to continue to evaluate red light cameras. They would • be part of the evaluation of the effectiveness of the blue Ii fi terms of slowing down the number or reducing the ght runners . .L~~~i just wanted this board to know that the Productivity ~~1 e spent quite a lot of time in a meeting as well as in'-'-_._._.,,__\.,l.ally in doing research on the cameras. And they'll keep taking a look at it, but they did a very thorough job on that. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Can I ask a question about that? CHAIRMAN HALL: Sure. Page 84 Page 394 of 10663 November 12, 2024 COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: And this might require Ms. Scott or somebody to come to the podium. I don't want to belabor the meeting. But one of the things that multiple citizens said that I thought had a lot of merit is while we're debating the cameras and all that, which is --you know, it's a major movement, that e just delaying some of the key intersections that have had acci ~1"1a.c delaying the amount of time between the red and the green • . like, you know, a light turns red, let's say somebody ru ~ou can --you can prevent an accident if the light that's a ~t¥ tum green turns green three seconds later, or whatever gic number lS. ~" Now, I know that doesn't help traffic an .. ~ like that, but that was something that we had --and w ' a ady doing some of that, I think, was what we were told b j h ,.,..,,,__ management, that there's some key places, and Tri ·t~' ...,..,,,'LI.I g her head. So I don't --you don't need to come t odium. But I think that one defi • ad merit, because it was an easy fix. It didn't involve, you ,...-.-0 ... --.--any kind of expense for the red lights. But there's so e • tersections that, when you look at the statistics, definitely are o major accident --or accident prone and maybe a little b • orl delay. But like I said, Trinity's nodding her head that we 1 • ely are doing that. I thought that had a lot of merit to pre probably quite a few accidents, even if we do have a red light """,,....,.. Because as we know, even the red light camera, that e 't revent anybody from running the light. So what can we d ,..._,,-omebody does run the light, they're not slamming into a just got a green light, and it was the delay? So ... COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I think at the last meeting when we talked about that, there is a delay before the light turns green for the other side, and it's based --the timing of that's based on what the speed limit is and the clearance time for the intersection. Page 85 Page 395 of 10663 November 12, 2024 So I think that's already taken into account. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: I think what we were talking about was just analyzing that we've --that we have the delays right or we don't want to add an extra second or two in the areas where the accidents seem to be sort of a higher number. '-. But if the --you know, like I said, if that's already being ~~ maybe it's good that we put that on the record that we're n~_, ... .,t g here still debating red light cameras, that there's other P. a ve things that we are currently doing and also aggressive yzing for improvements to these intersections and their saf et CHAIRMAN HALL: I'm all about do·ng 1 at are smart, but I also get the e-mails that, when we're co "s~~rrn.1 g a land subject, you know, "Commissioner, if you appro v: thi you're going to kill people. You know, you're going to a ,,.,.,...,.._c to the road, and it's --and the blood's going to be r ds." And I want to say to the public, the blood is never ,__,~ ... ,11 ands.
