at 2:15:51If the commission, whomever legal, would like to have this actual physical signed contracts
at 2:23:38And there's been talk of putting in escrow until – but Mr. Mayo's position is that because everything's still up in the air,
at 0:33We are about to have an attorney-client session in accordance with Florida Statute 286.011 regarding the litigation matter of Keith Tomey versus the City of Delray Beach, Florida, Political Subdivision of the State of Florida, Case No. 2024-CA-005926.
at 0:56Myself and the City Commission members, Vice Mayor Angela Burns, Deputy Vice Mayor Tom Markert, Commissioner Julie Casale, Commissioner Judy Mollica, Terrence Moore, the City Manager, City Attorney Lynn Jelen, our outside counsel, Tonya Haddad Coleman, and a certified court reporter.
at 1:35:44But I'm personally here to thank Commissioner Burns and Commissioner Malik, who showed up for me and Ann, Stacey Wright, on Sunday, as we was honored at St. Paul Baptist Church in Delray on Southwest 10th Avenue.
at 1:42:15No, I've been promoting this thing up around the community for the last two weeks.
at 2:34:16And as you know, I'm fairly new to the commission, and I come out of the private sector, so I don't have some of the government experience that others have.
at 2:37:15And let's educate those that are coming in that we can't anger our neighbors and having them parking illegally.
at 59:40And part of our issues related to the seawall contract and the contract we're having with Pompeii and others are because we really have not had someone at the helm who has subject matter expertise.
at 1:00:23But these kinds of things took an inordinate amount of time, I believe, partially, not solely, but partially because we didn't have a purchasing department to kind of really work their way through all these contracts.
at 52:18I think in the RFP, if you want to include in the RFP preferences for a project which would include a commercial component.
at 52:56And – but, I mean, I understand we do – we should – you know, having a commercial component here should get a preference.
at 22:18And I've, like everybody else probably in this room, have been reading, you know, what we're hearing from some of the places that are a little bit ahead of us.
at 22:30Have we been able to take a good look at all the feedback that the other communities are getting that are ahead of us and incorporate it into our thinking?
at 6:35I feel badly for the folks that submitted, in particular the one agency that did a lot of extra work, and their work looked great.
at 41:16And then to the mayor's point, you know, then we have to sit down and have the hard conversation about finances and what we can afford to do as a city.
