Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode #235: Joe Halman Jr. – From the Sheriff’s Office to City Hall in Haines City
Q: When you first started to when you left, what are some of the biggest changes you saw in what a police officer has to know and do?

Episode #235: Joe Halman Jr. – From the Sheriff’s Office to City Hall in Haines City
Q: Talk to me a little bit about how you're doing that, how it works and some council and advice for people listening to the podcast.
Halman explains that Haines City used Community Redevelopment Area funding to revitalize Myers-Wiley Park with multipurpose synthetic turf fields. The facilities attract tournaments, bringing visitors who spend at local businesses.
Episode #234: Kristina Ciuperger & Sarah Prohaska – Talking to Residents About Amendment 3 in Port St. Lucie
Q: What steps are you taking to outreach to the public to say, hey, if you want to learn more, please join us for this?
Sarah Prohaska describes holding about 20 meetings at convenient, neutral locations, using city staff to present factual information and then answer questions at topic-specific tables. The city promotes the events through email, texts, press releases, homeowner associations, ambassadors, city programs and facility postcards.
Episode #234: Kristina Ciuperger & Sarah Prohaska – Talking to Residents About Amendment 3 in Port St. Lucie
Q: What would the impacts of Amendment 3 mean to the city of Port St. Lucie's budget if it were to pass?
Kristina Ciuperger says the general fund could be reduced by about $26 million in the first year and another $22 million in the second, nearly $49 million total. Because the general fund supports all city departments, the city would have to consider changes to services and projects.
Episode #231: Brooks Williams – Turning Around a Divided City in Ferris, Texas
Q: What was the result of these reforms for Ferris's growth and finances?
The city moved from decline to rapid growth with improved revenue, lower permitting times, and a high-performing government that attracts investment and stabilizes budgets.
