Citv Manaaer Announces Proposed Millaae Rate of 3.1514 Mills The City Manager announced the budget currently holds a millage rate of 3.1514 mills which was set at the first hearing; Council can lower the rate but cannot go higher. iii. Budget Overview Power Point Presentation The CFO said at the previous work sessions and public hearings, staff presented three millage rates: rolled -back rate of 2.8091 which would leave the City short to balance the budget and not provide anything for labor negotiations or other unknowns; the millage rate of 2.9399 would also not provide anything for labor negotiations or other unknowns; and the recommended millage rate of 3.1514 which does provide a $300,000 increase in revenues, protection for possible shortfalls, room for labor negotiations, and legal expenses but most importantly a base for future years. The CFO said the Citizens Budget Review Advisory Board did recommend the rate of 3.1514; a taxpayer with a homesteaded $200,000 home would pay $38.00 more. He stated that he advertised the public hearing in the newspaper on Saturday and noted he was also asking for the financial policies to be adopted with no changes from last year as well as the Capital Improvement Program which included the additional year. He offered to respond to any questions by Council. The City Attorney cited F.S.200.065(2)(c) — Method of Fixing Millage "Prior to the conclusion of the hearing, the governing body of the taxing authority shall amend the tentative budget as it sees fit, adopt the amended tentative budget, recompute its proposed millage rate and publicly announce the percent, if any, by which the recomputed proposed millage rate exceeds the rolled back rate computed previously. That percent shall be characterized as the percentage Increase in property taxes tentatively adopted by the governing body." Further, Subsection (2) (d) "requires that we advertise the tentative millage and budget along with the final hearing date .... In no event may the millage rate adopted... exceed the adopted tentative millage". and Subsection (2) (e) (1): "The first substantive issue discussed shall be the percentage increase in millage over the rolled -back rate necessary to fund the budget, If any, and Special City Council Meeting 2n0 FY20/21 Budget Hearing September 28, 2020 Page 4 the specific purposes for which ad valorem tax revenues are being Increased. During such discussion, the governing body shall hear comments regarding the proposed increase and explain the reasons for the proposed increase over the rolled -back rate. The general public shall be allowed to speak and to ask questions prior to adoption of any measures by the governing body. The governing body shall adopt its tentative or final millage rate prior to adopting its tentative or final budget" He also reminded Council that the public should be allowed to speak as outlined in Resolution No. R-20-02.

At the conclusion of the session, city manager will go out and inform the public that the public meeting can reconvene. All right. I'll turn this over to you, Manny, Dan, whichever one. CITY ATTORNEY ANON: That would be me, sir. I'll start off. I don't think this is going to take a full hour because I did get some good information for you. But just for the record again, my name is Manny Anon, Jr., City Attorney. I am here with Mr. Dan Abbott who's the outside litigation council with the law firm of Weiss, Serota, Helfman, Cole & Bierman. He served as litigation counsel for the city on the annexation case. We are here today because I expressed the need last week to advise -- for advice concerning settlement, we're already at that point, which is currently pending against the city in the 19th Circuit Court case of Indian River County under the name of Pelican Island Audubon Society, et al. v. City of Sebastian, Case No. 19-A, Alpha, "P," papa... hold on one second... 142. Specifically, I am in need or we are in need of VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 n 5 1 advice concerning settlement negotiation and strategy 2 related: Where we're going to go from here. As previously 3 indicate, this session has been appropriately announced and 4 advertised pursuant to Florida law. This session is being 5 held pursuant to Florida Statute 286.011, subsection 8, 6 which provides an exception to the Sunshine Law by allowing 7 a governmental entity to meet privately with its attorneys 8 to discuss such matters that we will discuss here tonight. 9 Again, I will remind you that this statutory to exception is narrowly construed by the courts. We must 11 confine all discussions to settlement negotiations and 12 strategies, that's what we're here for, pending the current 13 litigation case. Any other discussion can be considered 14 violation of the Sunshine Law so there are, in fact, cases is pretty much that state that. 16 At this point, there can be no formal vote. We're 17 not going go ask for a vote like last time. We're just is going to ask for guidance and no final action will be taken 19 at this meeting. 20 The purpose of this session is just to discuss, 21 again, settlement negotiations and where does the city want 22 us to go at this point in time and to allow discussion 23 amongst yourselves with which, which can help us make that 24 decision to which course and point direction you want us to 25 take. VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 FI 2 3 4 s 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 091 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 2s The court reporter's notes will be transcribed within a reasonable period after the session. After they are transcribed, they will be sealed and filed with the city clerk until the conclusion of the litigation matter on this case settlement. The transcript as this session will ultimately be available to the public at the conclusion of this litigation. I want to make sure that everyone is clear on that. So when this case settles, obviously everything gets released. Since the first part was already settled, those two prior meetings have already become public. But this is now specifically about settlement and once we conclude settlement matter then this matter will also become public. If at any time we discuss, we find that we're kind deviating or discuss or continue to go outside the statutory exception, don't he offended, I'm just going to try to hurtle you guys back to what we're talking about and we can move as quickly as possible. I just want to protect the integrity of the process at this point in time. Let's see what else we got here... at this point in time, I will -- I won't get into the details of the lawsuit because that's really over because that matter's already been resolved. There's no appeal was taken. And the transcript, like I said, had already become public. However, for council's previous guidance, we were VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 E 1 2 3 4 s 6 7 6 9 FR7 14 is 16 17 18 19 20 001 22 23 24 2s asked to begin working from Graves Brothers in order to get the fees paid in accordance with the annexation which is what Mr. Abbott has been doing. So with your permission, Mr. Mayor, at this time I will defer to Mr. Dan Abbott to discuss the... that legal presentation on settlement and see where you, where you want us to go. Mr. Abbott. MR. ABBOTT: Thank you, Manny. And good afternoon everybody, to everybody, but especially those of you who I, who I have not met before. I think you know the lawsuit that we're here to talk about. It's Pelican Island v. The City of Sebastian. It was Pelican Island and two of its members that challenged the city's attempt at voluntary annexation of certain property owned by a company called Graves Brothers. And in that challenge, Pelican Island raised a number of issues of which only one was successful. But unfortunately, it only takes one to invalidate an annexation. And a three -judge panel of the circuit court held that the map that the city published in a newspaper that was, that was supposed to depict the land that was subject to the annexation had a small five -acre error on it and so the court invalidated that annexation. And as, as Manny pointed out, we were entitled to appeal that decision but we elected not to appeal it and we asked Graves Brothers if VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 7 I 1 they wanted to appeal in their own name and they didn't 2 appeal it so that decision has become final. 3 I want to make it clear though that doesn't keep 4 you from annexing this property; means, that annexation was 5 not successful but assuming the city and you all want to 6 annex the property and assuming the property owner wants to 7 annex the property, you can do it again and as long as it's 8 done in accordance with statute you can annex the property. 9 The statute that allowed Pelican Island to to challenge the annexation has a prevailing party attorneys' 11 fees provision. And so when the circuit court invalidated 12 the annexation, they also held that Pelican Island was 13 entitled to an award of the attorneys' fees and costs that 14 they incurred in invalidating the annexation and so they 15 have now filed a motion to collect their attorneys' fees and 16 costs and their motion seeks recovery of $26,183; that 17 includes both their fees and the costs that they have 18 incurred. And that motion is set for hearing in a couple of 19 weeks. It's set for hearing on October 9th. 20 Let me digress just very briefly and tell you 21 about an annexation agreement that the city has with Graves 22 Brothers. Before the annexation was attempted we entered 23 into a annexation agreement which is, which is a contract, a 24 contract with Graves Brothers and that contract provided for 25 a number of things but it specifically provided that Graves VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 W 1 Brothers would have to reimburse the city for any expenses 2 it incurred in a challenge to the annexation and that 3 included both the fees that you pay to your attorneys, 4 primarily to me and my law firm, and the fees that might be 5 awarded to a challenger, like, Pelican Island. 6 And so when we got this motion for fees in 7 consultation with your city attorney or city manager, we a sent it over to Graves Brothers really with a message that 9 this is really your responsibility so you should decide if 10 you want to resist the motion and what lawyer you want to 11 retain to resist the motion for you. 12 And I have since been in communication with the 13 lawyer for Graves Brothers and here's what he said, the 14 first thing that he said is: We should just agree to an 15 order on the motion. And I think that I agree with that. 16 The motion seeks, again, $26,183. We can resist that 17 request by suggesting that those fees aren't reasonable, 18 either that the amount of hours that the attorney purports 19 to have spent were too many or the hourly rate that he 20 claims to have used was too high of a rate to be reasonable 21 in the local community. 22 But having looked at it, it really doesn't look 23 unreasonable to, to me and it didn't look unreasonable to 24 the attorney for Graves and it would cost you some money to 25 resist that motion. First of all, you would have to pay an VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 1 attorney to go to the hearing and resist the award; and 2 secondly, the best way to resist a request for attorney fees 3 is to call your own expert, some, some expert in the field 4 who would presumably be a lawyer who would say either that 5 hourly rate is more than the hourly rate that is usually 6 charged in the community or those hours that were expended 7 were unreasonable. 8 My point being, it would cost you money to resist 9 the motion and since we don't think that really the number 10 being requested is unreasonable that we should agree to the 11 motion and not have a hearing on it and that's our 12 recommendation for you. 13 Let me tell you one more thing in those 14 conversations with the Graves' attorney, remember it began 15 with our suggestion that they should really call the shots 16 on this because it is their responsibility. They said... 17 the attorney said the following -- And let me preference 18 with what I'm going to say with the following, my marching 19 orders from the city has been to not, not to behave 20 especially aggressive towards Graves not to pick an 21 unnecessary fight because the city might be interested in 22 annexing the property and the last thing you would want to 23 do is have your lawyer pick an unnecessary fight and have 24 them leave the negotiating table in a huff. 25 And the Graves' attorney returned the same message VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 11 1 to me. He told me it is his marching orders as well not to 2 get into an unnecessary fight and he is very candid with me 3 and he says, Graves is still interested in annexing into the 4 City of Sebastian and they're looking forward to meetings 5 perhaps with the city manager to begin those efforts again. 6 So no hash word were exchanged but he did say the 7 follow, he said: If we were to agree to this motion; in 8 other words, agree to an order that Pelican Island would get 9 $26,183 that Graves would pay that amount. He said, 10 however, that Graves is not currently inclined to reimburse 11 the city for the city's own defense cost. And again, those 12 defense cost are primarily the fees the city has paid to my 13 law firm to defend the case. And the reason he offered is 14 because the basis for the invalidation was an inaccurate map is and because the city placed the ad in the paper, they think 16 it's the city's fault. 17 Now, I don't want to get too far down in the weeds 18 on that but I'll tell you two things: First of all, under 19 the terms of the annexation agreement I don't think that's a 20 defense. The annexation agreement says that they'll pay you 21 to defend an annexation challenge and doesn't say anything 22 about except if the city made a mistake. So I think the 23 city if they were to press Graves Brothers would be able to 24 recover reimbursement for the fees that the city has 25 incurred. VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 12 1 The second thing is, when Graves says this was a 2 city mistake, that's not really true because that map was 3 put together by a consultant for Graves Brothers. And while 4 we placed the ad, the map was really prepared by, by 5 another. But so I pass that really on to you for 6 informational purposes. 7 So, so I guess the issue before you today is: 8 Should we agree to the motion and agree to the $26,183 or 9 should we oppose that effort at a hearing. And really, I 10 guess that's all you need to decide today. Graves will 11 either pay that amount or not pay the amount and we'll 12 reimburse you for my fees or not reimburse you for my fees 13 and I don't think that you need to decide what you would do 14 about that today, although, any direction you wanted to give is on that subject would, would be well received. That's what 16 I have to report for you, but I'm here to answer any 17 questions that you might have. 18 CITY ATTORNEY ANON: Mr. Mayor, I'll let you 19 control the meeting, Mr. Mayor. 2.0 VICE MAYOR HILL: Yeah. At first -- I think the 21 first question I would have is for Dan: What is the amount 22 that the city is, is indebted to your firm? 23 MR. ABBOTT: Thank you, sir. I... our total 24 invoices, I tallied them up before this call, are about 25 $39,000. But I'm not sure that all of that is really the VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 13 1 defense cost for the Pelican Island litigation; for 2 instance, we've had a number of executive sessions like this 3 one which really aren't, How are we going to defend the 4 case. And, of course, I charge, charge the city for my time 5 here. But, you know, Pelican Island didn't have similar 6 expenses like that. We also had a number meetings with 7 Graves Brothers because, again, they had a dog in this 8 fight. So the answer to your question, sir, is about 9 $39,000, but I'm not sure how much of that was really the 10 defense cost to really defend the lawsuit. 11 VICE MAYOR HILL: So would it be, would it be safe 12 to say that maybe it's in the mid -thirties range, similar to 13 what Pelican Island is owed in that range? 14 MR. ABBOTT: I'd, I'd it's probably in that 15 neighborhood. If we were to say about $30,000 for defense 16 cost and Graves is requesting 26,000, I think, I think 17 they're in the ballpark, yes, sir. 18 VICE MAYOR HILL: Okay. So we're... it seems 19 like... if we, if we go ahead and say that we don't want to 20 defend, which it seems to me we should not go into a court 21 hearing to basically fight something that we're obligated to 22 do, essentially, by law, correct? 23 MR. ABBOTT: Well, we're certainly obligated to 24 pay them their reasonable fees. So if we go to the hearing 25 we're going to be ordered to pay them something. It could VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 'l 7 3 4 s 6 W 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 M 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 `z1 2s theoretically be less than the $26,000 -- VICE MAYOR HILL: Right, MR. ABBOTT: -- if we can urge the Court that that's an unreasonable amount to have requested. VICE MAYOR HILL: But in your opinion -- and I will ask you, Mr. Anon -- that, that does not seem unreasonable? CITY ATTORNEY ANON: My, my opinion is, no, it's not unreasonable. We discussed the fees as well. So once that case became final and the order was not appealed that's where we're at now. That's one cost that we have to figure out what we're going to do. But, yeah, I think it's reasonable and fair. VICE MAYOR HILL: Yeah. Okay. So, I mean, I would think that it doesn't make any sense for us to pursue any argument against the, the order. MAYOR DODD: Yeah. You got questions? COUNCIL MEMBER ]ONES: No. I agree. COUNCIL MEMBER McPARTLAN: I guess, my only... We've got to pay it, 26,183-or-whatever, what's the wording that comes out of this when they get paid -- VICE MAYOR HILL: Well, I think that -- COUNCIL MEMBER McPARTLAN: -- if they're right and we're wrong? MAYOR DODD: No. None of that comes out -- VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 14 1 2 3 4 5 I 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 COUNCIL MEMBER MCPARTLAN: Okay. MAYOR DODD: -- I mean, that's -- COUNCIL MEMBER McPARTLAN: All right. CITY ATTORNEY ANON: If I can Mr. -- Council Member McPartlan, it's just the, the amount. At this point since the case is over, now we... now the attorneys have filed their attorney fees for collection, you know, for, for or before and the decision we have with you guys today is to either because they're agreeing to pay that amount they're questioning the second part right now. But right now the issue before us: That hearing we have coming up. And if we can just agree to it, that act is over. And if you guys want to give us guidance as to the second part of it, then, that's where we'll be more than welcome to listen to guidance and what you want us to pursue. But right now the real issue is, will you agree, we're, we're recommending it to go ahead and allow them to go ahead and enter this order and they will be paying for that now. We're not paying for it. They're paying for it. COUNCIL MEMBER McPARTLAN: I'm, I'm fine with the first part -- VICE MAYOR HILL: Graves is paying it. COUNCIL MEMBER McPARTLAN: -- the second part I'm a little concerned, yeah. COUNCIL MEMBER JONES: I think we should come back VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 15 1 to that. 2 COUNCIL MEMBER NUNN: No, I'm fine with the 26-. 3 Obviously, that's a no-brainer there, it's the other part 4 that we have to discuss about the thirtysomething-grand 5 that -- 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 is 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 MAYOR DODD: All right. So it sounds to me like we've got a consensus on not... on, on not challenging the 26,183 but going ahead and, and working through the process of paying that. CITY ATTORNEY ANON: We'll get it -- enter in an order, an agreed order. Now, do you want to give us some -- I think Mr. Abbott might want some direction on Part 2. Do you want to discuss that -- MAYOR DODD: Yeah. I kind of, like, maybe to discuss the defendant's fees. And I understand we don't want to get into a, a legal battle with Graves because not only does he have that piece, he has some other property and there's still... that whole 510 corridor is important to us. But I also understand that his engineer produced that map that we put into the paper so if we have to share those cost, those defense costs, with them that might be one thing. I don't know, I don't know that I wouldn't be unwilling to share that some way or another to work out some agreement on but I don't think we should pay that whole $30,000 defense cost. VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 17 1 VICE MAYOR HILL: Yeah. I mean, I would say that 2 we, we could use it as certainly a negotiating tool. I 3 mean, if he's going to come back to the city he's going to 4 have a lot of fees that he's gonna have to pay, right? I 5 mean, annexation fees and all those other things. So he's 6 got a great expense that he's put into this project already 7 that he's lost so we would have to go into this with 8 negotiation in my mind whether or not we take that $30,000 9 and maybe use it in something else. And I don't know if I'm 10 getting off base here but -- 11 CITY ATTORNEY ANON: No, you're good. 12 VICE MAYOR HILL: -- but when we're, when we're 13 going into the negotiating process and we say, All right, 14 well, let's make this look right, you pay that fee but we'll is waive annexation fees. 16 And so because he's already paid the annexation 17 fees, we can say, We'll waive those fees rather than this so is that, that there's not really a: Well, we think it's the 19 city's fault in this or we're saying we think it's your 20 fault when we think we have an agreement that's pretty 21 locked tight that you pay the legal -- 22 MAYOR DODD: Manny, does that sound like something 23 that we could, that we could effectively do without getting 24 ourselves caught in the middle as to work an arrangement -- 25 CITY ATTORNEY ANON: Well, I think from my -- I VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 s! 5 6 7 a 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 is 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 didn't have any conversation -- I'll let Mr. Abbott explain. But my understanding is that they're very amenable to come back. And I think the second part of the fees which we believe they -- we're still entitled to it, I think that might be some room, like, Vice Mayor Hill was suggesting, that might be the wiggle room that we could bring them back on board and maybe, you know, I don't know, split the baby or... for lack of a better word. VICE MAYOR HILL: Well, we're not working at -- we're not -- CITY ATTORNEY ANON: -- does that sound -- VICE MAYOR HILL: We're not working that out tonight. We're just saying: Are we amenable -- CITY ATTORNEY ANON: No. No. VICE MAYOR HILL: -- are we... would we be willing to talk about not necessarily saying you pay all of that. We're talking about potentially negotiating with the developer to come back into the community using all of those different -- COUNCIL MEMBER McPARTLAN: I'm sorry, I might have misunderstood. Mr. Anon, did you say they're entitled to that$39,000? CITY ATTORNEY ANON: We. COUNCIL MEMBER ]ONES: We. COUNCIL MEMBER McPARTLAN: We. VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 NiE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 a 9 10 11 12 13 14 is 16 17 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 CITY MANAGER CARLISLE: Well, I don't know if it's -- Mr. Mayor, if I may. COUNCIL MEMBER NUNN: A portion of it. MAYOR DODD: Yeah, you know, one at a time so the guy can get it. CITY MANAGER CARLISLE: Mr. Mayor, if I may. MAYOR DODD: Okay. CITY MANAGER CARLISLE: It's, it's about 30,000 when you take the deducting... deduct the non -defense cost out of that. And so I agree, you know, with Mr. Hill -- Vice Mayor Hill that if we were to be given direction to negotiate, we would never settle that negotiations without coming back to an attorney -client session, but if we can get direction from you all: What is the bottom line? Is it split it? Is it waive the fees? Reduce some of the costs? Or say, No, you're going to pay the whole 30,000 and then you're going to pay cost? Whatever this council decides we will follow that. But we would like some direction on how to move forward so if he does want to sit down with it with us -- and this is strategy part of it, the executive session -- we can have that tool in our tool box and discuss with him. MAYOR DODD: I think if assuming we move forward with Graves at some point in time next year with the annexation, it's to our advantage to have him pay the VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 1 2 3 4 s 6 Wi 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 2s defense fees and have us then negotiate the reduction in the fees he will be paying for the annexation process. I think we can do that. I think it would be a disadvantage for us to go forward and have people say, Oh, what you had to pay to fight it in court and now you're doing it again. So I'm just looking at it from that perspective. VICE MAYOR HILL: But, but you're also talking about: And what are the annexation fees for a property of that size? CITY MANAGER CARLISLE: I don't know all the numbers -- VICE MAYOR HILL: But they're thousands of dollars. CITY MANAGER CARLISLE: He spent about $80,000 -- VICE MAYOR HILL: So you're in a tune of $80,000 -- MAYOR DODD: Well, I'm just saying in negotiations -- VICE MAYOR HILL: No. Right. So if you were to say if we were actually at a negotiating table with Graves and said, Look, we really think you would look better if you went ahead and took care of this because of the annexation agreement; however, we're willing to talk about some of the annexation fees going forward that would off set your VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 f 1 2 3 11 5 6 7 12 13 14 0" 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 expenses -- MAYOR DODD: Yes. Yes. VICE MAYOR HILL: -- for these, for these -- MAYOR DODD: And let them negotiate. VICE MAYOR HILL: And I think if we went forward with that way then, then the city's got... the city looks good because the agreement that was signed, the annexation agreement, has been fulfilled and then we go forward and we show good faith in trying to, to bring this property. MAYOR DODD: And I think it's... would be reasonable for us to work with him on those fees anyway because — VICE MAYOR HILL: Of course. MAYOR DODD: -- he's not, he's not... he's being forced to come back because of that forces beyond his control and beyond our control realistically so I think it would be... to do that. COUNCIL MEMBER NUNN: My, my opinion is, I'm all for negotiating because he's having to do this all over again. And I would caution us to be careful that it doesn't look like we're trying to be favorable to get him to come back and give him money because of that. That's my only concern as this all comes out down the road: We're not being favorable, we want them to do... we want them to do their full duty and pay their fees and I think they should VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 21 1 2 3 e1 s 6 7 MA 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 114.1 pay the court cost, at least, part of it. MAYOR DODD: Manny? CITY ATTORNEY ANON: If I can. There are two separate issues here: No. 1, is the fee that we have to pay which they... which we would agree that we will enter into an order and that's resolved, that resolved the entire case now; the other issue is our contractual agreement with them, separated issue. That's where I'm hearing good guidance and, and we'll go forward, going from this point forward. That's, that's where now we start the second part of whether or not they pay for all of it or, like, Vice Mayor Hill was suggesting, you know, whatever. But I, but I think it's, I think it's a correct theme on here. VICE MAYOR HILL: -- it's going to be done without us coming back into this room sitting down and having everything put in front of us. MAYOR DODD: If I understand what the direction is: We give them -- we ask them to negotiate the thirtysomething-thousand dollars in defense fees, for Graves to pay those, and then part of that negotiation they can come up with some means by which some future work with Graves might work out through that and then they can bring that back to us. Paul? CITY MANAGER CARLISLE: So I want to make sure everyone understands. When I said that Graves spent VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 22 1 2 3 4 61 A 9 10 11 12 13 14 is 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 N.7 $80,000, they don't have to redo their engineering plans, they don't -- that was a part of that 80,000 so his, his cost to the city is probably closer to 5- or 6,000 in just our, our fees so that's not a lot of -- MAYOR DODD: I, I wouldn't... quite frankly, since his engineer provided us that the map we did put it in the paper but his engineer provided it -- I wouldn't expect him to think that he can't... he's not going to pay some of that $30,000. CITY MANAGER CARLISLE: Well, that was my conversation early with Mr. Abbott was: He didn't know they provided the map and that's why I said it. He... okay, we should have verified it. I, I think that staff should take some -- MAYOR DODD: Yeah. CITY MANAGER CARLISLE: -- some omission in that; but the second is that, their engineer's the one who provided the map. MAYOR DODD: Correct. CITY MANAGER CARLISLE: And we did, we did put a corrected map in the second hearing so we did correct that error. VICE MAYOR HILL: There's a certain level of culpability on both sides. MAYOR DODD: On all sides, yes. VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 23 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 VICE MAYOR HILL: I mean, the fact of the matter is: We didn't check the map before it went in. It doesn't necessarily make it our fault but we're the ones who actually put the wrong map in the paper. So there's certain, there's a certain level of, I guess you could say, blame here. But I think as long as we just go forward and have it as a chip, right, that's a chip, so whether it's half, whether it's all, plus, whatever or whatever it is, go forward, I think, and just go -- and start the negotiate processes. I think the key is, is: Are we willing to discuss this with them to potentially have his property in the City of Sebastian in the future. MAYOR DODD: My personal preference is we definitely want to discuss it. COUNCIL MEMBER NUNN: I, I agree. We definitely want to discuss it. COUNCIL MEMBER McPARTLAN: I wouldn't go with half or three-quarters. I'd go with a quarter. 7500 is my number. (LAUGHS/) COUNCIL MEMBER ]ONES: I'm totally for it. I think that we need to go forward. MAYOR DODD: All right. CITY MANAGER CARLISLE: Mr. Mayor, if I can just clarify. So we would not agree to anything. They're going VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 24 1 2 3 4 s 6 7 B 9 10 11 12 13 14 is 16 17 18 19 20 044 22 23 24 2s to bring their conversation to us. We'll bring what we have to them. They'll make an offer. And they may say, This is our final offer. We'll have to bring it back to you all to give us more strategy to, to negotiate up or down. I hope we're not tying our hands but we'll bring back to you any and all offers they make. And you as a council will decide at that point whether you want to take it or say all or nothing. MAYOR DODD: I would agree with that to a point. We can't negotiate it. You have to do that. CITY MANAGER CARLISLE: That's correct. MAYOR DODD: So you don't need to come back to us until you feel like you're at an end of negotiations. CITY MANAGER CARLISLE: That's correct. MAYOR DODD: Okay. All right. CITY ATTORNEY ANON: Well, the additional guidance then we're hearing is that you're going to authorize... (Zoom audio distortion)... the second part of the negotiation to see if we can come back to you guys with something more reasonable; is that correct? MAYOR DODD: Yes. CITY ATTORNEY ANON: That's what I'm hearing. COUNCIL MEMBER NUNN: Yes. VICE MAYOR HILL: Yes. MAYOR DODD: How about you, Dan, are you okay with VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 25 1 2 3 4 s 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 is 16 17 18 19 20 21 W 23 24 2s that direction.? MR. ABBOTT: Sure. All of that sounds fine. I would only offer one, one, one observation. I think I heard during the discussion that possibly we would bring those negotiations and the status of them to you in an executive session like you're having now. I don't think we're going to able to do that because once we settle this, this litigation will be over and you will have lost that authority to meet privately. But I'm sure your negotiating team will find the proper method to bring, to bring the elected officials up -to -speed with the status of those negotiations. MAYOR DODD: That's fine. CITY ATTORNEY ANON: I agree. This, this, this settlement that we're agreeing to, for the 26-whatever, once that's over the whole case is over. The second part is our contractual obligation -- or their contractual obligation to us. Since we're not paying litigation, there won't be a Shade Meeting. That will be on the public. So hopefully you -- I'm hearing direction for Paul to go forward and we'll, we'll, we'll get back to you guys in some kind of public meeting, obviously. MAYOR DODD: Okay. So let me sum this up real quick just to make sure, two issues: First one is the plaintiffs fees, roughly $26,183, and the direction or the VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 W 1 2 3 4 s 6 7 a 9 10 11 12 13 14 1s 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 2s consensus we have is not to resist that motion but to move forward with paying that; and then, the second part of that will be the defense fees and our direction is for the city to try and negotiate that with Graves and work out some type of amenable payment process on that so that they pay some part of that if we have to pay some part we do but we try to do that with future fees instead of with cash. CITY ATTORNEY ANON: Graves will be paying for that. Once we agree to that then Graves will be paying for that and then we'll, we'll start Part 2 with, with your direction to Paul. Is that clear enough, Dan, you good? MR. ABBOTT: It is, yes. Thank you for your direction. MAYOR DODD: All right. Thank you guys. CITY ATTORNEY ANON: All right. Sir, our next thing starts at 6:00 prompt so I guess you convene and we've got to reopen at 6:00 exactly. MAYOR DODD: Yeah, we're not, we're not going to start until 6:00. But, Manny, don't go anywhere because I'm going to end this session and then I'd like to ask you a question with these guys sitting here. I think we can do -- Okay. on. CITY MANAGER CARLISLE: Hold on. Hold on. Hold CITY ATTORNEY ANON: As long as it's not -- VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 I CITY MANAGER CARLISLE: It has to be pertaining to 2 this. 3 MAYOR DODD: No. I'm ending the executive 4 session. 5 CITY MANAGER CARLISLE: But you can't have a 6 conversation outside of -- 7 MAYOR DODD: We're not having it. Thank you, 8 Manny. All right. It's 5:35 and so at 5:35 the executive 9 session ended. And we will reconvene the council meeting at 10 6 o'clock. 11 (Thereupon, at 5:35 p.m., the above -entitled 12 matter was concluded.) 13 14 15 16 17 FE:7 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 VERO BEACH COURT REPORTERS 772-231-2231 Nff it 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 STATE OF FLORIDA ) : SS COUNTY OF INDIAN RIVER ) CERTIFICATE I, GREGORY CAMPBELL, Notary Public of the State of Florida at large, certify that I was authorized to and did stenographically report the foregoing proceedings and that the transcript is a true and complete record of my stenographic notes.
