[00:00:37] Thank you. [00:00:43] OK. [00:00:44] Resolution 2025-07, extending the local state of emergency [00:00:48] for Hurricane Milton. [00:00:50] This is resolution number 2025-07, [00:00:53] resolution by the City Council of the City of New Pembroke [00:00:55] and Pembroke-Ritchie, Florida, declaring and extending a local state of emergency [00:00:59] due to the impacts associated with Hurricane Milton, [00:01:01] which moved across the state of Florida, and declaring an effective date. [00:01:06] Yes, sir, Mr. Mayor, members of Council, as indicated by the City Attorney, [00:01:14] the local state of emergency that we have had in effect since October 8th [00:01:20] is a result of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. [00:01:25] We have had the local state of emergency in effect since October 8th. [00:01:30] We have extended the local state of emergency on October 14th [00:01:37] and October 21st, extending the City's authority to enter into contracts [00:01:46] and incur obligations and the employment of temporary and permanent workers [00:01:53] and extend obligations on the rental of equipment [00:01:57] or the appropriation or expenditure of public funds, [00:02:00] anything and all necessary to protect and extend the best interests of the city [00:02:08] in mitigating the effects of the hurricane and our recovery efforts from such. [00:02:19] The purpose of the agenda item this evening is to request another extension [00:02:25] for a seven-day period of time of the emergency order [00:02:32] through October 29th of 2024 at 11.59 p.m. [00:02:41] Oh, I'm sorry. [00:02:42] That would be to extend, to go into effect on Tuesday, October 29th, 2024 [00:02:49] and remain in effect until 11.59 p.m. on Monday, November 4th, 2024. [00:02:57] And with that, we're recommending that you pass the resolution [00:03:03] which would extend that time frame for us. [00:03:05] At this point, it is the City's intent to keep a local state of emergency in effect [00:03:15] until such time as we're able to complete our work on the restoration efforts of the City. [00:03:24] And we have just started our second pass-through of the City of clean-up and pick-up of debris [00:03:33] and any other storm-related items that have been placed out of the curbs. [00:03:40] Any discussion or vote? [00:03:43] Move to approve. [00:03:44] Second. [00:03:45] Maker? [00:03:46] I don't have anything else to add about it. [00:03:48] Pete? [00:03:50] Only to say there was no public here to take public comment, so. [00:03:54] I think we're aware of that. [00:03:56] Well, for the record, it's the same. [00:03:57] For the record. [00:03:58] For the record. [00:04:01] All those in favor, signify by saying aye. [00:04:02] Aye. [00:04:03] Those opposed? [00:04:05] It's four nothing. [00:04:06] Communication?
