Transcript Partial transcript
Machine transcription of the meeting recording. The words are the recognizer's, except where a passage is marked as corrected or machine re-recognized; most have
not been checked against the audio, so words, numbers and names can be misheard.
It describes what was said. It cannot establish who voted how, an amount or an outcome — the City's
minutes do that (above).
A time links to its passage, and “Copy link” copies that link. “▶ Play” opens the recording at that moment, as the City's file, in a new tab.
276 suspect passage(s) marked in place; inspection incomplete: language review; 1 stretch(es) where a voice was detected and no words were recognized.
How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 17 voices separated from the audio.
24 short machine repair(s) (26 word(s)) are labelled in place, with the original words beside them: an ordinary word was replaced only where two further machine readings agreed on a different one.
Checks run on this transcript: the recognizer's own warning signs and whether a voice was detected where the words are. Not completed: language review.
A second, independent machine reading was compared with it word by word: the same words for 94.5% of 13,187 content words.
Dotted words (346 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
276 passages (21% of the words) are marked suspect: their words are not shown ("unclear audio") and support no statement: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ; the language review questioned them; or no voice was detected there.
Agreement between two machine readings is not verification.
Inspection is incomplete: language review.
Voice detected, no words recognized (1 stretch). Something may have been said here that the transcript does not have:
00:13:08 (6 s) — neither reading has words
Speakers were separated by voice. A plain name rests on evidence tied to that voice; “provisional” is a name from an earlier text-only pass and is not verified; “Speaker N” is an unidentified voice.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. That's all right.

thank you for having us here tonight I will say I'm the housekeeping side of this presentation and then I'm Nick will come up with a an illustrative presentation first I want to thank city staff on kind of the journey we've had to get here I would say that this project started on this on the city side probably 15 years ago in 2010 when you adopted that mixed-use future land use ‸ to kind of target redevelopment in this area. On our project team side, it started probably about three years ago and you kind of saw that chain of comprehensive plan amendments that have gone through since that time to kind of bring this vision to life. There was a key statement that was just made, which is the the catalyst redevelopment and I will say as a land use attorney who represents clients across the state framework group and Nick ‸ you'll hear from more in just a moment, are very comfortable being in that role of a catalyst. And we have worked with them on a handful of projects where they have stepped in and and really redefined what certain sectors and areas of a local government can be and kind of building into that future growth here I'm excited to see this one, which is just a hop, skip and a jump away from where we're standing right now.
before you I think a clean version was provided we just want to hit on that. And we've been working closely with staff up until the meeting on some review there. The draft development agreement that was in the agenda backup, you may have noted was more some sections were more general or from other projects, especially the description and the waiver section. So that has been updated to expand on the amenities provided on the intent of the street front activation along Brevard that we really want to see mimicked and the waivers have been adjusted. Thank you. and
staff presentation. So those have all been up to date as noted in the staff presentation. There are two sections, which is the development schedule and the assignability provisions that we are still working through with city staff. and We expect that those will change from what is before you but we don't have that final language for you tonight and I think that I don't want

architecture and we will wrap up with the economic impact, which you've already gotten a taste of. So starting with the Framework Group, we've been around since 2010. All we do is multifamily and mixed use across the state of Florida we focus on urban infill special opportunities like this one. We take what we call a big idea approach, which means that no two of our developments look alike. They are always colored by authenticity and a flair of localism.

pinkish box in the top left hand corner of the site. The parking calculation will go something like what is shown on the screen. This assumes 234 apartments, so right in the middle of that range that I mentioned but you can see
so one and a half parking spaces for a studio, for example, and we'll sort of add it up from there. We're also going to have 10 spaces for our retail and
little closer view, labeled now, of the site plan I mentioned item number one at 2800 square feet of retail space abutting the retail to our north. The leasing office is that kind of large, whitish box, also going to house our primary interior amenities, things like a gym and a spa, probably some co-working areas and
an interesting public outdoor space. It also kind of counteracts some of the massing and scale of this building to have that deep recess. Item number four is what we call the grand courtyard. This is private. It'll be available only to the residents, but this is where our pool is going to be located insun deck. Really nice places to relax. Number five on the south edge there
We've talked at length with local businesses and sort of use that to establish this this access and minimize the impact to the pedestrian flow. Of course, this is what we want to maintain. This is why we're in the village at pedestrian friendly surroundings. So we figured Church Street was the best place to bring cars in. Item number six is the structured parking garage. Key takeaway there is that it is going to be almost completely enveloped by the building, by ‸ apartments, by thethe
So very little of it is going to be exposed. And of course, item seven, everything in that orange, yellowish color, those are apartments, both lining the pool and
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:19:34–00:19:40 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
to be almost entirely residential. This is fairly typical of the upper floors. One key feature, however, item number one, we call it the Brevard Avenue Terrace. So that's just going to be on the second level, resident only, an opportunity to look down to the street, feel that you're part of the village, interact with the village. And again, an opportunity to pull the building facade away from the street, get some light down on the street and and maintain that kind of smaller human scale. The rest of this we've talked about a little bit, but you can see the density of apartments on each floor as the building rises.
Every inspiration image you see on this slide is an actual framework development from the interior and exterior amenities to to the images of the apartments there.

but we pulled it forward and we made it a little more residential. I mentioned we counteracted uh the scale of this building with the jogs in the facade, those reliefs that create interesting outdoor spaces like the plaza, like the Brevard Avenue Terrace. On the next slide, we're zooming in a little bit closer. So you start to really see uh the features that we've incorporated into this building by drawing inspiration from the neighborhood.

then and I was one of the supporting votes for it. uh And it turned out exactly like you all had uh proposed is absolutely beautiful. ‸ And I must admit that you went on the same level with this project, but it looks a little more elevated. I mean, when I saw columns and arches and nine foot ceilings, you don't that's not the norm. I i got ‸ You uh folks had called this a luxury rental uh unit and it is based on what I'm reading here.
the way you uh altered the building to where it's not one flat wall that could be taken visually sort of negative. uh And what that does is it creates, it reduces what intensity it is of the building being there. The other thing that helps it, and everybody's gonna ‸ kid me about it, is trees. And uh are you in a position uh that I could ask you a question about the trees that are located there?

Well, touching on the Cirrus project, that project took ‸ extremely amount... a long amount of time to develop. um Are you expecting the same issues you had with Cirrus? That project should have been done probably a year... prior to when it was actually done. And this is right in the downtown, right in the center of the village.

faster. We always do. And uh nobody hurts worse than the developer and the operator. I understand the impact of the community, but those delays cost tremendous amounts of money. So, of course, coming into this development, we are going to endeavor to foresee every issue we can and move as fast as possible. I can't predict the future.

own the Sears building itself and manage it, or do you subcontract that, or did you or do you when you're done, do you sell it to someone else that that runs it?
We have a third party full-time property management firm um that we keep in touch with on a daily basis. Many of the team members here with me tonight. We're at the property today. um To your question about whether we sell or hold, our intention and our business plan framework group is to build and hold wherever we can. Sometimes there are reasons to sell. We've sold very few of the developments that I mentioned. We own, you know,

Our intention is to build and hold, but i'm I'm trying to say that things change. There are factors. uh If you look at our history, you will see that we've sold some properties, so um can't rule that out, but it's not our preference.
Okay. your Your intent isn't to build it and then sell it? That's right. Okay. um The 25 parking spaces that are open to the public, those are going to be free and clear, correct? You're not going to charge anybody to park there?
It's right in the middle of the village. It's going to be brand new. It's you're going to try to make it look like the the village and the other surrounding areas, but it's just massive. It's it's eight stories tall. And uh that's that's just my big concern with this project. andAnd the sheer amount of people that are going to be ingress, egress out of the village and you know, uh ‸ busy time of the day.
So that's that's just the the big projects like this out on 524, I get it. You know, they're they're gonna ‸ widen the road. They're gonna ‸ make things easier that you have all these uh
Understood. if i If I could just respond to that quickly. um Just ‸ point of clarification. What we're proposing is seven stories and not eight. Eight stories is allowable according to the comprehensive plan amendment on this site and others in downtown. So it seems that the large buildings have been sort of planned for like this one. Well,
they're on the outskirts. This is right smack in the middle of the village. It's it's obviously going to be a big deal. And every time every time a unit is destroyed, burnt down, for whatever reason it is it's redeveloped, I would hate to see the village lose its um identity and just go with these skyscrapers in the middle of the village. I don't think it fits, but that's just my opinion.

for an upscale ‸ market, do we have the exact demographic of research to support that type of uh clientele to be able to afford the the rent? Because you did say this is a rented property. This isn't something that's being sold. So therefore, selling something brings in a different influx of cash. But rental is different. So if you're looking at upscale, which get me wrong, I've traveled tremendously. There's upscale rentals all over the hemisphere that we could look at the points of reference. But
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:34:52–00:34:53 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
you can have this big monstrosity of whatever it is, and I would hate for it to sit empty. Sure. So i I just want to reference that back to you and your group. Because as it looks and as it feels and as it comes to fruition, um I would just hate that we struggle with occupancy rate. And I know what that looks like, because once, and I'll just say it, what hasn't been said, once you get your occupancy rate up, that makes the building more valuable, which lends to other things that can and will and may occur. So, yeah

then what does that look like? So I'm just speaking broadly, sureso that it's known in a public forum, so that those things are taken into consideration, not with any particular implication uh in mind, but just so the board has a point of additional points of reference. That's all.
you. Sure. If I could just respond briefly to that. um ‸ Cirrus is at 50 occupancy, and I was sort of celebrating that because I've got the knowledge, the context of it. um

as you mentioned, their ability to pay the rent, um we are very confident about about the depth of the market. You make a good point that this is even more ambitious. The rents, the market rents in downtown are going to be higher. They have to be higher to support this development, and that's you know somewhat unproven. But that's what we do as developers, especially framework group. you know we We kind of make a habit of going to these markets around the state that are not institutional, not Orlando or you know

downtown and a brand new housing option that hasn't been seen before. um So partnership is kind of what we're what we're seeking and making this happen. and um
as we get more data from Cirrus. um The job growth story here on the Space Coast that don't have to tell you all about it it's extremely compelling. And we think that
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:37:51–00:37:52 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
Village is the most one of the most livable neighborhoods you're going to find out here. So that's why we're excited to make it happen. And we understand the risk, believe me.
It's, asas you mentioned, it's extremely early to tell. The markets go up, markets go down, rents go up, rents go down. We are pulling together all of our costs, things of that nature. So um I'm not comfortable saying oh
where we're going to be today because it's that could change going to change with certainty uh many times before we actually go out there and market any apartments.

The design of it is done in a way to fit with the village as well. That's another advantage that brings this whole downtown area up. These two projects are going to really push us in a very class representation. And I'm very happy that it's coming around for that. But this is a definite fit. If this was 12 stories or more, I could see how it might be too big a project or whatever. I don't agree with that at all. I think it fits in. And they willingly went down to seven floors already.

want to be ‸ devil's advocate here. And I don't want to jinx the project because of what they want to do. But a statement. It was a question was brought up if they could potentially be successful with this project or not. And I feel that the people that are in the group that they are and the success rates they've had with more than other projects, they've done their homework and they know that the numbers are there to support what they want to do, especially when they're putting 90 million dollars worth. You don't just go in there and not do some of the homework or the market analysis or otherwise you will lose it. So I just hope that this is a ‸ project that's going to come around. They've been working on it a very long time. I just feel that we should be very happy that they're wanting to locate here and the design plans and everything that they've presented. It's going to be a class act and I'm just looking forward that we go ahead and support what this project is wanting to offer and to remember they are not the one and only that's going to stick out like a sore thumb because it's done. But properly following the slope of the river, this is not a 10 story tall project.

And so the support has been very robust, you know, specifically for the economic impact and eliminating blight and connecting ‸ north and south Brevard, filling that in with something that continues kind of the fabric of Cocoa Village.

The
There are questions around the number of people, the traffic, as was mentioned. But again, I mean, largely, it's been in support from my perspective and the conversations that I've had for all the reasons that I mentioned.

as far as we know from the geotechnical information that we have today. It may require something that we call soil improvement under the structure parking garage in particular, because of its weight and its settlement potential. Those, again, depends on engineering. Engineering that we haven't necessarily done yet. But those, you know, can run 15, 20 feet deep or something like that.
have the park across the street with a reservoir underneath it, which most people don't realize. But any anticipations with the city as far as closing any roads during this construction?
Our intent will be to minimize our ‸ impact, of course. And we've, again, talked with local businesses about events and things like that. It's hard to imagine that we will never need to shut down a lane, a sidewalk, something like that. This is urban development and urban construction that is...

like? And we've heard that concern. ‸ That's a good reminder in response to the question that ‸ was asked earlier. Some of the ‸ pushback or questions. ‸ This is a good breakdown of how we intend to calculate the number of spaces in that parking garage. Right now we're stating a range of apartments, 220 and 241. This assumes 235, but you can see that we're allocating certain number of parking spaces for different apartment sizes.
So this is well above ‸ code even. And our intent is not to impact any, you know, on street parking or anything like that. We are entirely self-parked, both our residents, their guests, the guests of the retail, and even adding some public spaces for public benefit as well. Yep.

I also kind of want to put it out there as well. As a resident, I got a chance to see the behind the scenes things that were happening. We had a lot of things that were happening within our country workforce.
for that. But I think it's an amazing opportunity and I just hate that if we would miss something like this. Because I do believe that other people will come and move into a property such as this.

It's absolutely amazing. And so ‸ I just think that you all should take into consideration the opportunity that this would bring to the city. Because like I said, while I'm in my apartment, sometimes it doesn't even feel like

like Orlando or so forth. But it's also beautiful to see the Bright Line train from my apartment. I get to see the train when it comes through the bend. And so like I said, just take into consideration there are a lot of factors that has happened, at least in the last year. So that's all I wanted to say.

thereof that we stick. With that in mind, what can you say as to the lifespan of this structure, seeing as it's going to be smack dab in the middle of Cocoa?
Sure. ‸ Well, first off, wood frame is the majority of what we develop. Every image that I showed you of other representative developments by framework, most all of it has been wood frame as well. Some of the most risk averse institutions on this planet,
know, big banks, Wells Fargo and Fifth Third and all those, they ‸ put their money behind wood frame construction because it is of outstanding quality. The engineering, the engineering,
waterproofing, pest control, resiliency, you name it. It's ‸ a high bar. ‸ It's every bit as structurally sound by code as alternate construction types.

stratosphere of ‸ hard costs and therefore rents. We're getting into in feasible territory at that point. So we have found, because we do this every day, we can build extremely high quality, long term assets that big banks and life insurance companies, you know, invest in. Again, risk averse institutions, because we can do it in a high quality way. We can get the aesthetics that we want. It's got environmental benefits.

‸ All right. That just leaves me, Mr. Haring, which I have already heard a lot of the people, so I won't reiterate too much. I will say that this is the heart of our city, and I think this will be a beautiful heart. But as someone who lives in

city, I wish for God's sake, if we had some more parking in that area, because we won't be able to enjoy some of these shops once it fills up with all the good tenants and their friends and family who find these great shops, too. So please, I'll go out there and stump for the city if you want to do that for ‸ parking. But this is a great location for parking.

prime parking, especially for the beautiful shops you're going to be bringing to the city. So, thank you for taking everyone's questions. I appreciate it. It's a beautiful proposal. Thank you. Appreciate it. All right. Anybody else from the audience?

today to present the Cocoa and Diamond Square Community Redevelopment Area Plans. We've been working on this for a while alongside Charlene and CRA staff
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:00:15–01:00:15 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
Stockton as well so we're happy to bring it to you guys today and so just as an over overview we're going to be covering two CRA plans the cocoa CRA as well as the diamond square CRA so I'm gonna try my best to make the distinction about when I'm talking about each one of those so I'm gonna ‸ start off with a project overview and then talk about how we develop the plan, how we develop the ‸ strategic frameworks for each of the plan, and then most importantly the consistency
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:00:49–01:00:49 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
the comprehensive plan and so we started this project back in June of last year the the idea was to conduct these two CRA plans in parallel on a parallel timeline together so we started off with kickoff data collection we did a
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:02:09–01:02:09 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
that was guided by CRA staff and then you know went back and started pulling some reports from Esri business analyst online on some socio-economic trends housing trends and economic trends also looking at regulatory context, the existing public services and facilities and then starting to look at what opportunities were out there. we then got into our public input segment of the project. This included standing up a project website that was active for four months. It had several features and tools that the public could interact with, including a survey, an interactive map where they could leave any comments of, you know, any concern or any opportunities they had seen that they wanted to point out to us. And then we also had two all-day open house events for each of the CRAs that was held here and each of those included a presentation that explained what a community redevelopment area is how tax increment financing worked
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:03:28–01:03:31 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
boards prompting input across several topics that were relevant to each CRA so they were personalized to each CRA and you can get an example of what those looked like right there on the left and then we also held some stakeholder interviews that you know those stakeholders were selected in conjunction with guidance from CRA staff
so we started you know doing our own just analysis that we always do but also taking a little bit more focused approach based off of what we had heard from public input and maybe some of those things are, you know, are unique to each community and just getting to do a little bit more of a deep dive on those items.
and really just went from there to see what was on the ground and to see where those opportunities were and so as you see for COCO those themes kind of emerged and so they were place making connectivity, housing, economic development, and environmental resiliency. and then for Diamond Square we you know conducted the same thing kind of really being guided by public input and what we had heard the previous plan for Diamond Square actually had really laid out a
‸ strategic framework for us. So as this was an update, we just continued on with the framework that they had, but still, you know, took that deep dive into each of these themes. So those were community living, community places, community connections, community identity, and then community opportunities. and you can
those plans and so for COCO you know we started to get into formulating the strategic framework and the updated CRA goals and so you know we had looked at previous plans we looked at existing conditions we had done a SWOT analysis
improve connectivity diversify and improve sorry I couldn't read that improve housing stock foster sustainable economic development and strengthening resilience sorry ‸ cannot read that with my eyes there
public input that we received. Again, staying within each theme that was presented in the last pre in the previous plan. so this included improving the quality and aesthetics of the housing enhancing parks and public spaces enhancing mobility and fostering a culture of active mobility strengthening community identity and fostering economic growth
underneath those goals the idea is to be focused enough to give the CRA staff and an idea of where to start and what those, you know, what they should be working towards, but broad enough to allow for flexibility as opportunities arise. So they are, they're broad. They are meant to to guide, not to dictate.
longer than diamond squares we were able to supplement their their CRA plan with some proposed projects as well as a project description where we think those those treatments would be most appropriate based on the subject sub districts that were outlined in the waterfront master plan. And then some potential funding sources, as well as an estimated cost that was associated with both prioritization that came out of the public input, as well as actual costs of ‸ what these things, these items might.

so for the consistency with the comprehensive plan um starting off with future land use um ‸ the future land use element uh one of the policies includes uh encouraging redevelopment and so under our community living uh goal for ‸ diamond square we had a strategy such as incentivizing infill development and redevelopment um ‸ increasing the enforcement of code compliance
as uh cultural signage and historical markers, which was very um important. ‸ The community felt was very important for Diamond Square. um Continuing with Diamond Square again, transportation element, um one of the policies included, uh it talks about expanding transit service routes. And so in under the community connections, we talk about working alongside the Space Coast area transit um
in general. And so we we encourage that as well through implementing complete streets and then called out a few major corridors where we felt that that uh complete streets treatment would be most appropriate and most beneficial. um For recreation and open space element we talked about, um one of those policies talks about uh ensuring that the recreational facilities are well maintained and redeveloped as needed. ‸ And so one of our strategies included uh calling out the parks that we felt could use some enhancements um

Okay. Yeah, because Ii think that's that's something that I've been working on for many years is ‸ trying to get the county and the state and the city to come together to rebuild that and and make it a legitimate fishing pier like it once was.
or your entity send out any additional surveys to the community because I knew there was a concern about the lack of response from the resident input and so I believe it I think it was mentioned maybe 14 responses was received. And so for me, that was a concern, with community engagement on this plan for the residents there.
open up to the public I see two people out there anybody like to speak on this item all right and we'll close it to the public, bring it back to the board. Do we have any movements or motions?
You're making a recommendation to the City Council on the consistency with the comprehensive plan as long as that the plans meet the comprehensive plan initiatives

the question I meant to ask it was just not on the top of my the parking was top of my priority will the offset be held for this development as we have for oak trees I'm saying so they'll be required to plant trees based on the diameter of the oaks that are present or is that on city property because it's in the sidewalk ‸ a

well it's ‸ on that one corner It's nice to have the shade, and not only that, it makes it more this citizens friendly to walk around, not just in the shade, but to feel like you're not in any kind of oh ‸ I do love it yeah I

might change because the only negative he said was something about the roots under the uh the brick sidewalks but that was done in a specific way to have easy access to remove the roots that's causing trouble to the brick. and it can
so I do not know exactly for you know the trees that are there whether they are on the private property or in the city right of way. So depending on where they are, um if it's if it's on private property, of course, you all will see that project again when it comes back for site plan approval. Because what you were doing tonight is looking at the development agreement um and specifically density and height. um and
and arbor mitigation if they could not replace the trees. um if it's within the right of way then and it's an oak tree then it would be I believe subject to um this board this board's yeah ‸ So, uh because that's removal of a tree within the right of way, an oak tree. So they would be, um looking at, you know, as we've done in the past, what replacements would be made and where. um
Ms. Fidman I actually do have a question about ‸ the oak trees Not necessarily the ones that are in the village, but the trees that belong to the city that are like in the neighborhood so like Lemon Street, Stone Street is there like a maintenance on those treestrees Are they just like free growing? Do you know if there's like a maintenance schedule? Is ‸ like an annual trimming or never trimming or just? citizen Or is it like resident discretion to cut them if they're on their property lines? Like what?

coming into in the cocoa and and I thought the same thing and and I'll just say it that it's good to see them doing that um and I'm assuming they're getting ready to rehab those medians um but there are other medians and I'll just see it like that for ‸ the sake of what
some level of attention and I don't know what the schedule is and I'm not going to get too in depth in that but I don't see a schedule and that's the truth so maybe that's something that need to be rerouted back to public works because you know Alex makes a good point of referencing the trees,
um and unless you call to say there's a dead limb and I had one that was in the city uh right away that had to be removed. Unfortunately, it was not an oak, it was a pine. But the whole tree had to be removed because it was, that must have been struck by lightning and just sitting there hanging all over the place. So,

for it but I think we're we're definitely not serving our residents who are the base of our taxpayers by getting into the the infield areas and trying to make this a little bit more habitable in terms of these tree canopies so that's my point
thank you Mr. Wheeler any further items for the tree board then we shall close the tree board and move on to the open discussion hands for open discussion
that happened on a recent meeting that maybe not everybody knows. There was a a meeting that was presented for the hotel, uh and the development agreement had been approved. So
‸ This is a new developer that has three other current hotels in the area. They're one big family, and they are hands-on. They they run the business. They
if I could just add on to that um so yes the the CRA did approve the redevelopment agreement um the CRA does own that property where the the hotel is going is proposed

step in that's laid out in that agreement is that there will be a development agreement um with the city, because the city controls is in charge of land use controls right the CRA is not and so um the next step would be that they're working towards a development agreement in which they will have um their conceptual plan and everything laid out. uh So you should be seeing that coming forward and you know, the next several months. Excellent.
Very excellent. Thank you. Anything else for other business? Or open open discussion? Open discussion? I have just one more item, and it's to request that,
about that we already approved. When it comes to the payment of parking spaces, and I'm not into controlling anyany businesses or ‸ like that, but if we could recommend for payment of those parking spaces working with the city uh Cocoa village to do a voucher kind of situation i used to

areas in San Diego where if you parked in Horton Plaza, a mall, uh they wouldn't charge you for the first four hours, two hours, three hours. In this case,
be there and pay whatever that is, or possibly have a dead car parked there and problems with getting recouped for the money. But um it would encourage folks to go out and go to those places that require the validation stamps
and again, not to control or but possibly influence their their decisions on how to uh charge for that. that's That's all I wanted to put out there. uh All right, so we'll move on. There's no other business. Our next meeting is on the first Wednesday.
