Courtney
I'm MAK and I'm Courtney. Welcome back to 2MC.

00:00:10:26 - 00:00:12:29
MAK
We are thrilled to be here today.

00:00:13:05 - 00:00:15:11
Courtney
Thrilled is the right word.

00:00:15:11 - 00:00:22:05
MAK
I could not envision a day without Courtney in it. Yeah, yeah. It's amazing.

00:00:22:11 - 00:00:27:00
Courtney
You know, I couldn't envision my day without me in it either.

00:00:27:02 - 00:00:29:03
Courtney
All right, so let's get into it. Right.

00:00:29:03 - 00:00:32:09
MAK
Yes. Next week we have budget.

00:00:32:09 - 00:00:33:26
Courtney
Workshops, not a budget hearing.

00:00:33:27 - 00:00:38:15
MAK
It's not. It's a budget workshop. And I corrected her on that. And it's fixed now.

00:00:38:18 - 00:00:47:16
Courtney
July 13th in the 14th. Doesn't necessarily mean will happen on the 14th. It's just an extra day in case it's needed. Yes.

00:00:47:18 - 00:00:50:14
MAK
Yeah. They always booked two days just in case.

00:00:50:14 - 00:00:56:16
Courtney
Just in case. You never know. Nope. And then our next board meeting will be July 28th.

00:00:56:18 - 00:00:57:06
MAK
Yes.

00:00:57:09 - 00:00:58:21
Courtney
Yeah.

00:00:58:23 - 00:01:01:02
MAK
So we have some things we want to talk about.

00:01:01:04 - 00:01:02:02
Courtney
Right. We do.

00:01:02:04 - 00:01:04:18
MAK
First up, semiannual chlorination.

00:01:04:19 - 00:01:10:20
Courtney
Yes. And we had Brittany Bassett on to talk about this. Probably a couple. It's been about a little.

00:01:10:21 - 00:01:11:01
MAK
It's been a.

00:01:11:01 - 00:01:19:00
Courtney
Little while. It's been a little while. But she explained the whole process. So if you are interested in learning about the process, go back and watch that one. Maybe we could put the link down in our show notes.

00:01:19:01 - 00:01:20:13
MAK
I like that idea. Yes.

00:01:20:14 - 00:01:24:13
Courtney
And so it's just a process for them to.

00:01:24:15 - 00:01:31:15
MAK
Just change the way they chlorinated the water. And that's Martin County utilities, South Regional Martin.

00:01:31:15 - 00:01:31:26
Courtney

00:02:16:21 - 00:02:20:10
MAK

00:02:20:11 - 00:02:22:13
Courtney
Oh, no, I don't do that when I talk.

00:02:22:14 - 00:02:24:01
MAK

00:02:24:04 - 00:02:26:23
Courtney
For listeners are like, what are they doing while they talk?

00:02:26:26 - 00:02:32:19

00:02:32:20 - 00:02:45:02
Courtney
So throughout the month they're spotlighting. They're going to spotlight different power of the theme each week, including play, nature, community, connection, belonging and wellbeing.

00:03:49:15 - 00:03:54:09
MAK
And you know what it tells us here? The film has an upbeat musical score.

00:03:54:12 - 00:03:58:06
Courtney
Yes. Performed by Dolly Parton. Not us.

00:03:58:08 - 00:03:58:28
MAK
Well.

00:03:59:01 - 00:04:01:26
Courtney
Yeah, we're definitely not Dolly Parton.

00:04:01:28 - 00:04:05:20

Nope. I like this.

00:04:05:21 - 00:04:06:28

MAK
Yes. Mission. Backyard. You can learn all.

00:04:13:00 - 00:04:20:26
MAK
Yes. It's not all that, like, secretive, though, because you go to learn more about it. It's all the top secret tips and tricks.

00:04:20:28 - 00:04:24:24
Courtney
No, it says you're going to learn all the top secret tips and tricks.

00:04:24:24 - 00:04:39:07
MAK
Well, they're sharing them, so it's not so secret. It's how to successfully implement a native garden. Right. So provides birds and pollinators with critical forage.

00:04:39:14 - 00:04:40:29
Courtney
For them to raise their young.

00:04:41:04 - 00:04:51:22
MAK
Yes. Habitats and such. Yeah. And I know you're working on creating habitats. You're on foraging. Well, habitats for the pollinators.

00:04:51:23 - 00:04:52:23
Courtney
I am.

00:04:52:26 - 00:04:58:27
MAK
One of the one of your planters. It's not looking so good.

00:04:58:28 - 00:05:03:05
Courtney
The other one is looking great. You know, I saw a butterfly on it the other day. You did? Yes.

00:05:03:06 - 00:05:04:07
MAK
What kind of butterfly?

00:05:04:08 - 00:05:05:13
Courtney
A monarch.

00:05:05:16 - 00:05:06:06
MAK
Are you sure?

00:05:06:07 - 00:05:21:04
Courtney
Yes. I was shocked. I was so excited. I tried to get a picture, but she flew away. Yeah. So this event happens Tuesday, July 14th from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Blake Library.

00:05:21:10 - 00:05:22:20
MAK
That's a really good one.

00:05:22:21 - 00:05:27:11
Courtney
It is. And I don't know if they know.

00:05:27:14 - 00:05:31:05
MAK
Probably not, because this is a new thing. It was effective.

00:05:31:05 - 00:05:32:00
Courtney
July 1st.

00:05:32:02 - 00:05:53:16
MAK
Well, all the bills got signed that got signed into law effective July 1st. And this is House Bill I think 803. It is. And it's about building permit exemptions provisions. Exemption provisions. Right. So some things now you don't need a building permit for but some things you still do. So don't get all hopped up and excited about it yet.

00:05:53:18 - 00:06:01:16
Courtney
Yes. Exemptions apply to certain nonstructural residential construction projects with a total value of less than 7500.

00:06:01:19 - 00:06:04:01
MAK
Can you give me an example?

00:06:04:03 - 00:06:08:23
Courtney
No. Okay. But I can tell you what can. Web page that we have built for this.

00:06:08:24 - 00:06:09:29
MAK
Yes, there is a web.

00:06:10:00 - 00:06:14:13
Courtney
Page, so you guys can check that out and see what you need permits for. What you don't.

00:06:14:15 - 00:06:19:17
MAK
