Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey Joel, Malcolm four WJNO dot com. And my election
spotlight is on the town of Jupiter, where there are
three races, two for council seats and one is the
mayoral race, where you have the incumbent, Jim Koretzky being
challenged by one of the fellow council members, Cameron May.
We have mister May on the line with us. Now,
(00:22):
thanks for joining me.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Hey, good one of Jiel, thanks for having me.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Let's talk about you. Let's get some background on you.
Believe you've you're wrapping up your first term.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Am I correct, actually wrapping up my second term, but
who's counting? My first term was in twenty twenty and
I ran for reelection and I ran unopposed in twenty
twenty three.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
All right, okay, I believe we probably we must have
spoken back in twenty twenty then, but it was COVID,
So who remembers anything. It seems like it was so
long ago, right, But all right, so let's let's get
some background on you. I believe you are a firefighter.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yes, I'm a firefighter paramedic for Pallyach County Fire Rescue.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
All right, and we're going to talk about the big
elephant in the room regarding all that. Of course we'll
get to that and your thoughts and whatnot, but well,
let's get some more about you, your your history with
Jupiter and everything else you want to share with us.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, So moved to Jupiter when I was eight months
old from Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
And Hollywood my dad or California, Hollywood, Florida.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
So I'm a third generation Florida boy, and but my
parents were living in Hollywood late eighties at the time.
My mom wanted to kind of get out of there,
so my dad took a job in the North District
as ocean rescue captain up in the Jupiter area. So
that's what brought us up here and been here ever since.
(01:56):
I did my fire school up in Okalla, and I
did my paramedic school back down here at Pombe State College,
and that's when I met my now wife, And we
have two amazing boys that are four and six, and
we're we've planted our roots here than are both of
our hometown to raise our family, and you know, I'm
(02:17):
trying to make it a better place than I found
it when I grew up here.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
You know what, Before we get to some of the
you know, the the issues I mentioned, you know, the
Jupiter Fire Rescue Department. We're going to talk about all
of that. But let's let's talk about your two terms.
I'm assuming then, are are there term limits? First of all?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Uh, there there are not right now, but that is
one of my campaign promises to uh established term limits
in the town.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
All right, now, let's talk about some you know, any
of the accomplishments you would like to talk about during
your two terms.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah. So, one of the things that really drove me
to run for town council, that they're being someone who
grew up here and seen a lot of changes, was
how our development was being handled, the types of development,
the height, the density of these buildings, especially along the
US One corridor near the beach. And one of the
first things I wanted to do when I got in
(03:22):
office was put cancel essentially what they called a bonus
point program that these developers could trade off a public
amenity for increased heightened density of their buildings. And we
ran it a couple issues where once the building was built,
(03:42):
the public amenity was offered. If the building got sold
off to another entity, that new entity may find that
the public amenity was you know, too stressful for them
to handle, too expensive for them to handle, you know, whatever,
whatever it may be. And they wanted to eliminate the
public amenity that was that was put in, and I said, well,
that's a problem because you were given certain provisions in
(04:04):
your development for offering these public amenities. So obviously the
answer to me was no, if I wanted to, you know,
get rid of the long standing program where that could happen.
So we eliminated the bonus point program provision for that area.
So that way, any building would need to be fit
(04:26):
the comprehensive plan of the town of Jupiter, fit within code,
and any waiver given would be done through what they
called the PUD process, and that would be decided by
the council at the time if it's fit that particular area.
I UH, with some help from the Jupiter Less Foundation,
helped Champion in selling seagrass notification boies around their area
(04:49):
to try to re establish our seagress beds in the area,
which would you know, provide more filtration, more food for
manatees and other and a safe harbor for smaller marine
life that as they're growing up in our estuary, they
you know, seek those seagrass beds to hide out and
grow up. I've always been heavily supportive of our fine
(05:15):
police officers, Jupiter Police and getting then the equipment they needed.
We had a safety issue in the southeast part of
the town where they weren't able to communicate properly with
each other that they're responding to a call, so we
needed a new radio poll that was there when I
had first gotten elected. I was made aware of the
pole and the equipment had been purchased, but the current
(05:36):
council at the time hadn't gone ahead to install it
because of they were getting pushed back from their residents.
So I took it as a project of mine to
spearhead getting that pole installed and tried to explain the
residents from someone who's in that line of work why
it's so important for radio communications in that area. And
so we were able to, you know, get the poll
(05:57):
up installed and now there's no lass for radio coverage
for the officers in the southeast part of the town.
And that's like kind of a high level overview of
some of my prouder things. I you know, really to
look at our sustainability within the town and trying to
reduce our single use plastics. Spearheaded getting water bottle filling
(06:19):
stations along the beach and in our parks to encourage
people to reuse their water bottles as they're either walking
the beach or visiting the park, and just trying to
those types of projects. We partnered with Beach Buckets Foundation
for our beaches and our parks that you can come
(06:39):
and pick up a bucket and pick up litter along
the beach or you know, wherever you see and be
able to dispose of that litter in a in one area.
So we were able to get a partnership with them
and have more of the Beach Bucket Foundation locations at
our beaches and stuff. So, you know.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
You were talking about the building code and whatnot we're
with regard to the town. Obviously the state has its
own codes now in the wake of the tragedy down
at Surf.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Side in the Miami area, and.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Obviously Jupiter has a lot of beachfront property. How are
things coming along to your knowledge with regards to I
know there was a deadline recently for Hoas or Coas.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I guess they'd be called to report.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
From the that's from the state level. That's what the
state is requiring. I know goes to the town of Jupiter.
I have not been made aware of any issues with
our buildings that are close to the beaches in our area,
and we only have a couple buildings that are really
what are considered a high rise structure, similar to what
was down in Miami, and the rest of the buildings
(07:52):
is what they considered lower mid rise condos. But there
has not been any issues to my knowledge, infections with I.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Asked that because it was a top of mine, because
I know recently we heard about the county unincorporated areas
there were a decent number of buildings that were not
accounted for with regards to having had their initial inspections done,
so I didn't know what the situation was in Jupiter.
(08:23):
But yeah, there aren't that many high rises. It wouldn't
be that big of concern, I guess, as it is
some areas of the counting.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Nothing that's made its way to me as far as
any sort of our buildings failing any inspections or requiring updates.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
All right, then let's dive into Jupiter Fire Rescue Department.
You obviously are a firefighter, as you mentioned for Palm
Beach County Fire Rescue, which is still currently and I
believe has always Maybe there was a time where they
didn't years ago, but I believe has always provided. The
(08:58):
fire rescue service is for the talent of Jupiter, It's
residents and businesses. So now you've got I guess enough
enough of the town council approved to go to the
Jupiter Fire Rescue Department.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
I know there are one or two.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Fire stations already under construction. You could fill in the
blanks wherever I might be wrong. It happens on occasion,
but anyway, so yeah, I wanted to get your thoughts
on that. And by the way, it sounds like it's
a done deal because I know that the folks that
were against the plan had gone to I believe mediation
and it was just decided no, sorry, this is what's
(09:39):
going to happen. So anyway, catch me up today, correct
me if I'm wrong anywhere, and tell me your thoughts
on the whole process.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah. So Jupiterfire Recus moving forward. They're a pretty quick
pace and they have a lot to do in the
next you know, less than two years now. So in
the beginning, when you know or fire Rescue was established.
It's no secret that I was opposed to it. The
only reason I was opposed to it was because when
(10:08):
they decided to vote to create Jupiter Fire Rescue and
cancel the contract that we had just signed with Palm
Beach County for another ten years, it wasn't, in my mind,
properly noticed on the agenda as something we'd be taking
action on. So the residents were unaware of any sort
of movement to start Jupiter Fire Rescue. They thought this
(10:31):
contract was signed, that was it. We were locked in
for ten years. And you know, they had given us
a presentation with an update on some numbers, and at
the time the story, the council decided to go ahead,
send determination notice to the county and established Jupiter Fire Rescue.
Since then, once, you know, there was some you know
(10:54):
fighting with you know, trying to get a petition about
referendum to have the residents vote on uh, you know,
amending the town charter that it's any change in emergency
services were to take place require a vote of the residents,
and I supported that. I think the residents needed needed
to be included in our decision making. And you know,
(11:14):
then now and going forward, they always need to be
included or made it where as much as possible, So
major decisions that are going to have fund she services,
I still feel strongly about that. But being that it's
going forward, the judge, you know, with the lawsuit rule
that the town could establish this on fire department, which
(11:36):
was never really a question of mine. I know, we
can establish departments as we see fit. It's just a
matter of, you know, having inclusion of the voters in
those decisions. So, but it's moving forward. We they hired
a great administrative staff to build this thing out, guys
with the realms of experience from all over the state
(11:57):
of Florida and operationally be running October one, of twenty
twenty six. I've voted in favor of many of the projects,
from the station locations, building of the stations, the types
of equipment that we're going to be ordering, and things
like that. And as a firefighter, I feel like I'm
(12:18):
in a great position to understand the needs of Jupiter
Fire Rescue as they move forward, and you know, as
they build it out and once they go into operation,
I'll have a much different outlook on the types of
things that they're going to be doing and the types
of equipment or training that they may need. Because I've
(12:40):
been in the planet work for fourteen years now.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
But you originally your vote as far as to establish
it was a no vote.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Correct, yes, well, and my no vote was no, this
isn't proper procedure. We need to put this as an
agenda item, so it needs to be noticed on a
future or attend to the intent of the council to
create Jupiter Fire Rescue and send cancelation noticed to Bombach
County Fire Rescue.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
But then it was done anyway, and all right, yeah, yeah,
But so as a as a a couple of questions
and you know, as a as a pom Beach County firefighter. Uh,
there is a candidate in another race running for one
of the other two seats on the council that was
(13:28):
mentioning you know he's all for the Jupiter. I mean,
it's a it's a done deal anyway. So it's kind
of a mood point to that. But his one of
his points of why he was a supporter has been
a supporter of Jupiter Fire Rescue is uh, that he
had an issue where.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It was one of the things, it wasn't the only
thing he.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Had an issue where he had made a call for
an emergency service at his home and the county firefighters
couldn't find his home. And he believes that, you know,
if you have actual local jew firefighters, they would be
able to find uh, you know, would be able to
find the home better. I just wanted to get your
(14:07):
thoughts on that. Again, this is not in your race,
but just as a Jupiter, as a Palm Beach County firefighter,
I wanted to see what your what your thoughts are
because you're on those fire trucks.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah. So I'm a Jupiter resident. I work for Palmbase
County and I also my station is located in Jupiter
as well, and you can you can place a bid
and be stationed anywhere throughout the county from Jupiter to
Boca all the way else of Belglade. There's a lot
of firefighters that work in the town of Jupiter that
lived in the town of Jupiter. Sometimes you know those
(14:38):
firefighters on vacation and they float somebody up who's not
necessarily from this area. We have a computer system in
the trucks that will route the firefighters to the exact location,
to the address, and as long as the address that's
given to us is correct, I'd say ninety nine point
nine percent of the time, we're going to get there
(14:58):
in a timely fashion. The particular incident that you're speaking of,
because I was made aware of it as well. I
was told that the truck drove past his house, but
because of the street was so narrow, they had to
go down to the industry, turn around and come back.
So it wasn't like a huge delay.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
So it wasn't that it wasn't that they were lost.
He made it seem like they just couldn't find his house.
That's basically what he said.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
He told me that they were able to They did
get there eventually. It's it's not yea, they did. Never
did It's not like we never showed up.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah no, no, they got there, but that it was
they couldn't find it event originally.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
But anyway, that was I wanted to bring.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
The computer system has a glitch. It's computers. You know
where we're you know, but we have backups in place
where we can either utilize our phone or we have
map books and we can pull the map book out
and look there if we need so. Not saying it
never happens, but it's rare. If it does happen, And
when you're establishing a new fire department like this, and
you're expecting firefighters to come and work with the town
(16:00):
of Jupiter, that's great. But with the prices and home
values in Jupiter right now, a new firefighter with a
salary of fifty or sixty thousand dollars isn't going to
necessarily be able to afford a house in Jupiter. Most
of the stations that are here in Jupiter now are
(16:20):
highly desirable stations. So the people that have what they
call to bid there where they're permanently assigned to that station,
have been in this area for a very long time,
and they're very familiar with the town of Jupiter, you
know where, and specifically in their zones that they cover.
So it's very very rare that something like that would happen.
It's a one off chance that, you know, it happens.
(16:43):
We're not perfect, we're human beings, So to say that
having our own dedicated police fire department is going to
change that is just to me not true. It's going
to it's still has the potential for happening.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
You're not going to want to answer this question, but
I'm going to ask it anyway. You work for Palm
Beach County Fire Rescue, and you know, once we haven't
established in Jupiter, an established Jupiter Fire Rescue department. Is
it something that you would want to maybe seek employment
with or you want to stay with the county.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
No, I definitely want to stay with the county I've
worked for. This is my third fire department that I
worked for. My goal in life when I became a
fire partner was to work for Pomage County. I started
my career as a questa great department, great group of guys. However,
being young and with what I was being paid at
the time, because I had into what they called an
(17:41):
interim position, I was only getting paid eight dollars an hour,
it wasn't sustainable for me there. So I went to
Martin County Fire Rescue. And this is back when a
lots of the departments were on hiring freezes after the
recession in two thousand eight, So the competitiveness to get
(18:02):
a job in this area at that time was very high.
So I finally got hired with Martin County. I was
at Martin County for a little over a year. Again,
they were having some recession issues where the guys work
even being given raises to keep up with cost of
living and things. So when I had the opportunity to
get hired with Palm Beach County, I took it. It's
a very large department, it's very well established. It's around
(18:25):
the cutting edge of everything from firefighting and EMS care,
and it's a department I wanted to work for to
be able to essentially be the best firefighter I could
possibly be and grow my career with that department. The
advancement opportunities, the different specialties that you can do is
endless with Palm Beach County, and that's why I wanted
(18:47):
to go there. So I'm going to be staying there.
I've been there for almost ten years now. I don't
see a need to leave and go somewhere else at
my age now, so I will not be putting my
hat in the ring for Jupiter Fire Rescue.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
At your age, you were what bored in the eighties?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Come on, anyway, Yeah, you're talking to a fifty five
year old man, anyway, So do you.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Do you see?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Because I mean, I I don't know how many unemployed
firefighters there are right now. Obviously, there are people that
you know want to become and there's you know people
always going to you know, training to become a firefighter.
But when they establish this, uh is the new department
going to to your knowledge, going to try to poach
people from PBC PBC.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I don't think they'll actively be approaching Combee County firefighters
or any other firefighters throughout the county. It'll be advertised,
as you know, for someone to come, but they're not
going to actively go anywhere and recruit anybody. Uh, they'll
be able to recruit people. We are they're rolling out
firefighters and paramedics out of school by the thousands every year,
(19:54):
so they'll have a good pool of applicants they may
try to h I would say entit people to come
if they have years of experience from other departments. Maybe
it's in a different part of Florida where they don't
get paid as much and they don't have the best benefits.
There's some departments in smaller rural areas that just don't
have the support unfortunately, so they may try to come
(20:15):
down to a larger department in South Florida and work
in a beautiful area like Jupiter. So it will be
an enticing place to work, for sure, but I don't
see them actively going out trying to poach anybody from
another department.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Well, I don't know if they're active now, but I
know that the governor has in the past, and I
believe it's for firefighters as well, and police that are
recruited from other states to come home to Florida. I
would wonder if that would be something an angle that
the department would try to get some people from other
states where they could get bonuses and obviously pay no.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Income tax.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah, so there's that right now. Is established for law enforcement.
I could have.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Sworn it was the first responders.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yeah, I say, is this for this? For all?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I thought it was fire It was all first responded.
I'd have to look that up, but that's it's now.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
I had to look too. From my knowledge, it was
law enforcement only. I don't think they've ever had a
recruitment issue for firefighters and in Florida. But if that
provision was there, that'd be great and you get a
sign on bonus and things like that come down here.
I think we may have done that up for a
few police officers in the time of Jupiter. But if
(21:34):
they had that provision for any first responder of firefighters,
that'd be a great program.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Florida jobs dot org.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Eligible first responders, sworn law enforcement, emergency medical technicians, firefighters,
and paramedics receive recognition payments up to one thousand dollars
after tax to reward them for their dedicated public service
through the Essential First Responders Recognition Program. We don't have
time for me to click into that, but that's what
it is.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
I don't know if that's the same thing we're talking about,
but I could be I could be wrong. All Right,
I kept you so long, but I want to there's
another big topic, uh, Sunny Sands, and if you could
briefly talk about I know that's one of your on
your platform as well, and that is a big bone
of contention in the in the town as well.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Yeah. So I've always been in support of acquiring Suny
Sands through purchase. We're not going to just you know,
imminent domain and take it away from the property owner.
I've always wanted to work with the property owner to
purchase it to preserve it. Uh. It is a very
very important historical piece in our town. Uh. There was
a large Native American settlement there. We had the original
(22:38):
Celestial Railroad ran through there. That's where the terminus was
on the north end of the property at the Lochatchi River.
So it's a very important piece of the town. It's
in an area where the area can't really handle much
more development. It's already congested enough as it is, and
you know, developing anything on that parcelal land would just
I feel be detrimental to traffic and to the property
(23:01):
as a whole. And you know, any sort of disturbing
that property where you know, the artifacts that they found
date back to I think five thousand DC. So getting
that piece of land, preserving it for people to be
able to visit and learn about the history of the
area is very important to me. I've indicated to the
(23:23):
property owner that I want to work with him to
try to purchase the property as much as the property
as possible. I'd like to get all ten acres if
I could, and whether it's through funding from the state,
from the federal level, obviously locally, we have funds in
our Community Redevelopment Agency fund that we can use. We
(23:43):
have some funds from our green Space BAWD that was
approved back in twenty sixteen that we can use and
then you know, maybe work with a developer on like
a payment plan and say, hey, you won't pay taxes
on this property anymore. We'll take that over and then
we will give you a certain amount of money whatever
is negotiated for the next so many years to make
you hold on the property. So it's something that is
(24:04):
you know, I'm passionate about to us pay and I'm
going to be continuing to work to do that if
I'm elected as mayor.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Okay, and then real quick traffic and I know Indian
Town Road is a state.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
I believe it's a state. Yeah, well that that's where
I was going.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
But what one answer, you know, one comment that I
get from a lot of candidates in the town is
you know, well, there's not a whole lot we can
do about it because it's a it's a state road.
But you know what, what is there that can be
done on the local level to help drivers out a
little bit?
Speaker 3 (24:42):
You know they are along Indian Town Road.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah, So our job is local officials at these state
and county roads is to advocate for the traffic issues.
I mean, even though there's nothing we standpoint as far
as construction or changing anything like that. We can still
be the advocates at the state level, at the county
level for our residents and to alleviate traffic issues. We
(25:07):
were able to secure state funding to offset some of
the construction costs of widening of Indiantown Road near the
Western Corridor, and you know, they had the state put
in the new traffic light to update that interchange. For
the longest time, it was what they called a rural
interchange where traffic flowed directly from the interstate onto Indiantown
(25:29):
Road and there was no traffic light to try to
control traffic coming on and off the highway, similar to
what you have at every interchange going south up here.
So the last one in Palm Beach County that wasn't
like that, and traffic has gotten a lot better in
the area as they were able to open all the
ends up. There is still one more lane to be
(25:49):
opened which will further alleviate traffic. But going forward, you
need to be the best advocates you can. If there's
a traffic problem and there's a potential solution that can
be seen. If it's a funding issue, then we as
the council at a local level need to find a
way to help the fund it and get it moved
(26:11):
up in its plan. They always have these plans five
ten years out for when they're going to change things
and get sort of a major issue where the road
is failing that we can try to get it moved
up in the plan and help provide funding for that
project and get it done sooner to alleviate the traffic.
So that's something that will I say, anybody would agree
(26:32):
that they would want to do for the town. There
are some roadway projects that can be added on Island
Way that I've always advocated to get done to allow
traffic to flow south on Island Way into the Commerce Park,
especially in the mornings and the evenings when everyone's going
to work. So those types of projects that are trying
to move forward on those that try to alleviate most
(26:54):
of that traffic. And it's mainly the western part of
anytown road, biggest traffic issue that we have.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
By the way, just to go back to what I
mentioned earlier, I was able to find this the Essential
First Responder Recognition payment program that was something that was
running through twenty twenty three. Looks like that was not
renewed beyond that and then the recruitment bonuses were you
are correct law enforcement solely.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
So yeah, the other program you're referring to, I can
give you just a quick insight any firefighters NS personnel
law enforcement that we're working in the in the state
of Florida for the past, for the twenty two and
I believe twenty twenty three. Yeah, the state group in
their budget and that's one thousand dollars essentially bonus to
(27:48):
the firefighters, got us person all the same, I thank you.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
And it looks like that ended.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
That ended in twenty twenty three at this point, whether
it's I don't know whether it's you know, in the
governor's new proposed budget for the next fiscal year or not,
but it hadn't been for the last two I guess.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
So all right, and really quick, and we're going to
wrap up here soon.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
What. Uh So, you're you're currently a council member, you're
running for this seat as mayor. Obviously you have hopes
that you're.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Going to win.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Let's say you don't. What what happens then? I mean,
is there an opportunity for you to get back onto
the council at some point?
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Is that even something you'd want to do, No.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
I would. You know, I'm going to respect the will
of the voters if they vote me to be the
mayor and the greatest if they do not, then I
will respect their decision. Unfortunately, with safe statute that was
written for me to run to the mayor seat because
it's kind of less concurrent with my term, and as
a counseil member, I did have to resign. My resumeation
(28:55):
takes us back at the first meeting in March half
of the election. So my residence will be effective from
my council seat, and I'm either moving to the mayor
sat or I'm not. And I'll just you know, be
always be an advocate for my community no matter what.
And you know, I just enjoy my life raising my
family here and doing our beautiful.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Town all right.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
And then the final question two candidates here, we have
an incumbent, we have a council member yourself running challenging him. Why, ultimately,
in a nutshell, should folks vote for Cameron may.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
You know, like I said this the other night, we
had a candidate for him, and you know, I'm raising
my family here. Any decision I make, obviously not only
affect me, but it affects all the residents in Jupiter,
people that I've grown up with. And I'm just trying
to do the best for my hometown that I possibly can.
I'm trying to leave this place, we say it in
the fire Service, leave it better than you found it.
(29:51):
That's my goal. That's been my mission along and I'll
continue to do that for the residents of Jupiter.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
All Right, well, I appreciate you speaking to residents of
Jupiter Mayoral race. Mayoral candidate Town of Jupiter, Cameron may
Thank you for joining me here on wj o O
dot com.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Thank you, Jill, have a great day.
Hey Joel, Malcolm four WJNO dot com. And my election
spotlight is on the town of Jupiter, where there are
three races, two for council seats and one is the
mayoral race, where you have the incumbent, Jim Koretzky being
challenged by one of the fellow council members, Cameron May.
We have mister May on the line with us. Now,
(00:22):
thanks for joining me.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Hey, good one of Jiel, thanks for having me.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Let's talk about you. Let's get some background on you.
Believe you've you're wrapping up your first term.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Am I correct, actually wrapping up my second term, but
who's counting? My first term was in twenty twenty and
I ran for reelection and I ran unopposed in twenty
twenty three.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
All right, okay, I believe we probably we must have
spoken back in twenty twenty then, but it was COVID,
So who remembers anything. It seems like it was so
long ago, right, But all right, so let's let's get
some background on you. I believe you are a firefighter.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yes, I'm a firefighter paramedic for Pallyach County Fire Rescue.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
All right, and we're going to talk about the big
elephant in the room regarding all that. Of course we'll
get to that and your thoughts and whatnot, but well,
let's get some more about you, your your history with
Jupiter and everything else you want to share with us.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, So moved to Jupiter when I was eight months
old from Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
And Hollywood my dad or California, Hollywood, Florida.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
So I'm a third generation Florida boy, and but my
parents were living in Hollywood late eighties at the time.
My mom wanted to kind of get out of there,
so my dad took a job in the North District
as ocean rescue captain up in the Jupiter area. So
that's what brought us up here and been here ever since.
(01:56):
I did my fire school up in Okalla, and I
did my paramedic school back down here at Pombe State College,
and that's when I met my now wife, And we
have two amazing boys that are four and six, and
we're we've planted our roots here than are both of
our hometown to raise our family, and you know, I'm
(02:17):
trying to make it a better place than I found
it when I grew up here.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
You know what, Before we get to some of the
you know, the the issues I mentioned, you know, the
Jupiter Fire Rescue Department. We're going to talk about all
of that. But let's let's talk about your two terms.
I'm assuming then, are are there term limits? First of all?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Uh, there there are not right now, but that is
one of my campaign promises to uh established term limits
in the town.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
All right, now, let's talk about some you know, any
of the accomplishments you would like to talk about during
your two terms.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah. So, one of the things that really drove me
to run for town council, that they're being someone who
grew up here and seen a lot of changes, was
how our development was being handled, the types of development,
the height, the density of these buildings, especially along the
US One corridor near the beach. And one of the
first things I wanted to do when I got in
(03:22):
office was put cancel essentially what they called a bonus
point program that these developers could trade off a public
amenity for increased heightened density of their buildings. And we
ran it a couple issues where once the building was built,
(03:42):
the public amenity was offered. If the building got sold
off to another entity, that new entity may find that
the public amenity was you know, too stressful for them
to handle, too expensive for them to handle, you know, whatever,
whatever it may be. And they wanted to eliminate the
public amenity that was that was put in, and I said, well,
that's a problem because you were given certain provisions in
(04:04):
your development for offering these public amenities. So obviously the
answer to me was no, if I wanted to, you know,
get rid of the long standing program where that could happen.
So we eliminated the bonus point program provision for that area.
So that way, any building would need to be fit
(04:26):
the comprehensive plan of the town of Jupiter, fit within code,
and any waiver given would be done through what they
called the PUD process, and that would be decided by
the council at the time if it's fit that particular area.
I UH, with some help from the Jupiter Less Foundation,
helped Champion in selling seagrass notification boies around their area
(04:49):
to try to re establish our seagress beds in the area,
which would you know, provide more filtration, more food for
manatees and other and a safe harbor for smaller marine
life that as they're growing up in our estuary, they
you know, seek those seagrass beds to hide out and
grow up. I've always been heavily supportive of our fine
(05:15):
police officers, Jupiter Police and getting then the equipment they needed.
We had a safety issue in the southeast part of
the town where they weren't able to communicate properly with
each other that they're responding to a call, so we
needed a new radio poll that was there when I
had first gotten elected. I was made aware of the
pole and the equipment had been purchased, but the current
(05:36):
council at the time hadn't gone ahead to install it
because of they were getting pushed back from their residents.
So I took it as a project of mine to
spearhead getting that pole installed and tried to explain the
residents from someone who's in that line of work why
it's so important for radio communications in that area. And
so we were able to, you know, get the poll
(05:57):
up installed and now there's no lass for radio coverage
for the officers in the southeast part of the town.
And that's like kind of a high level overview of
some of my prouder things. I you know, really to
look at our sustainability within the town and trying to
reduce our single use plastics. Spearheaded getting water bottle filling
(06:19):
stations along the beach and in our parks to encourage
people to reuse their water bottles as they're either walking
the beach or visiting the park, and just trying to
those types of projects. We partnered with Beach Buckets Foundation
for our beaches and our parks that you can come
(06:39):
and pick up a bucket and pick up litter along
the beach or you know, wherever you see and be
able to dispose of that litter in a in one area.
So we were able to get a partnership with them
and have more of the Beach Bucket Foundation locations at
our beaches and stuff. So, you know.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
You were talking about the building code and whatnot we're
with regard to the town. Obviously the state has its
own codes now in the wake of the tragedy down
at Surf.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Side in the Miami area, and.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Obviously Jupiter has a lot of beachfront property. How are
things coming along to your knowledge with regards to I
know there was a deadline recently for Hoas or Coas.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I guess they'd be called to report.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
From the that's from the state level. That's what the
state is requiring. I know goes to the town of Jupiter.
I have not been made aware of any issues with
our buildings that are close to the beaches in our area,
and we only have a couple buildings that are really
what are considered a high rise structure, similar to what
was down in Miami, and the rest of the buildings
(07:52):
is what they considered lower mid rise condos. But there
has not been any issues to my knowledge, infections with I.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Asked that because it was a top of mine, because
I know recently we heard about the county unincorporated areas
there were a decent number of buildings that were not
accounted for with regards to having had their initial inspections done,
so I didn't know what the situation was in Jupiter.
(08:23):
But yeah, there aren't that many high rises. It wouldn't
be that big of concern, I guess, as it is
some areas of the counting.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Nothing that's made its way to me as far as
any sort of our buildings failing any inspections or requiring updates.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
All right, then let's dive into Jupiter Fire Rescue Department.
You obviously are a firefighter, as you mentioned for Palm
Beach County Fire Rescue, which is still currently and I
believe has always Maybe there was a time where they
didn't years ago, but I believe has always provided. The
(08:58):
fire rescue service is for the talent of Jupiter, It's
residents and businesses. So now you've got I guess enough
enough of the town council approved to go to the
Jupiter Fire Rescue Department.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
I know there are one or two.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Fire stations already under construction. You could fill in the
blanks wherever I might be wrong. It happens on occasion,
but anyway, so yeah, I wanted to get your thoughts
on that. And by the way, it sounds like it's
a done deal because I know that the folks that
were against the plan had gone to I believe mediation
and it was just decided no, sorry, this is what's
(09:39):
going to happen. So anyway, catch me up today, correct
me if I'm wrong anywhere, and tell me your thoughts
on the whole process.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah. So Jupiterfire Recus moving forward. They're a pretty quick
pace and they have a lot to do in the
next you know, less than two years now. So in
the beginning, when you know or fire Rescue was established.
It's no secret that I was opposed to it. The
only reason I was opposed to it was because when
(10:08):
they decided to vote to create Jupiter Fire Rescue and
cancel the contract that we had just signed with Palm
Beach County for another ten years, it wasn't, in my mind,
properly noticed on the agenda as something we'd be taking
action on. So the residents were unaware of any sort
of movement to start Jupiter Fire Rescue. They thought this
(10:31):
contract was signed, that was it. We were locked in
for ten years. And you know, they had given us
a presentation with an update on some numbers, and at
the time the story, the council decided to go ahead,
send determination notice to the county and established Jupiter Fire Rescue.
Since then, once, you know, there was some you know
(10:54):
fighting with you know, trying to get a petition about
referendum to have the residents vote on uh, you know,
amending the town charter that it's any change in emergency
services were to take place require a vote of the residents,
and I supported that. I think the residents needed needed
to be included in our decision making. And you know,
(11:14):
then now and going forward, they always need to be
included or made it where as much as possible, So
major decisions that are going to have fund she services,
I still feel strongly about that. But being that it's
going forward, the judge, you know, with the lawsuit rule
that the town could establish this on fire department, which
(11:36):
was never really a question of mine. I know, we
can establish departments as we see fit. It's just a
matter of, you know, having inclusion of the voters in
those decisions. So, but it's moving forward. We they hired
a great administrative staff to build this thing out, guys
with the realms of experience from all over the state
(11:57):
of Florida and operationally be running October one, of twenty
twenty six. I've voted in favor of many of the projects,
from the station locations, building of the stations, the types
of equipment that we're going to be ordering, and things
like that. And as a firefighter, I feel like I'm
(12:18):
in a great position to understand the needs of Jupiter
Fire Rescue as they move forward, and you know, as
they build it out and once they go into operation,
I'll have a much different outlook on the types of
things that they're going to be doing and the types
of equipment or training that they may need. Because I've
(12:40):
been in the planet work for fourteen years now.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
But you originally your vote as far as to establish
it was a no vote.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Correct, yes, well, and my no vote was no, this
isn't proper procedure. We need to put this as an
agenda item, so it needs to be noticed on a
future or attend to the intent of the council to
create Jupiter Fire Rescue and send cancelation noticed to Bombach
County Fire Rescue.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
But then it was done anyway, and all right, yeah, yeah,
But so as a as a a couple of questions
and you know, as a as a pom Beach County firefighter. Uh,
there is a candidate in another race running for one
of the other two seats on the council that was
(13:28):
mentioning you know he's all for the Jupiter. I mean,
it's a it's a done deal anyway. So it's kind
of a mood point to that. But his one of
his points of why he was a supporter has been
a supporter of Jupiter Fire Rescue is uh, that he
had an issue where.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It was one of the things, it wasn't the only
thing he.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Had an issue where he had made a call for
an emergency service at his home and the county firefighters
couldn't find his home. And he believes that, you know,
if you have actual local jew firefighters, they would be
able to find uh, you know, would be able to
find the home better. I just wanted to get your
(14:07):
thoughts on that. Again, this is not in your race,
but just as a Jupiter, as a Palm Beach County firefighter,
I wanted to see what your what your thoughts are
because you're on those fire trucks.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah. So I'm a Jupiter resident. I work for Palmbase
County and I also my station is located in Jupiter
as well, and you can you can place a bid
and be stationed anywhere throughout the county from Jupiter to
Boca all the way else of Belglade. There's a lot
of firefighters that work in the town of Jupiter that
lived in the town of Jupiter. Sometimes you know those
(14:38):
firefighters on vacation and they float somebody up who's not
necessarily from this area. We have a computer system in
the trucks that will route the firefighters to the exact location,
to the address, and as long as the address that's
given to us is correct, I'd say ninety nine point
nine percent of the time, we're going to get there
(14:58):
in a timely fashion. The particular incident that you're speaking of,
because I was made aware of it as well. I
was told that the truck drove past his house, but
because of the street was so narrow, they had to
go down to the industry, turn around and come back.
So it wasn't like a huge delay.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
So it wasn't that it wasn't that they were lost.
He made it seem like they just couldn't find his house.
That's basically what he said.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
He told me that they were able to They did
get there eventually. It's it's not yea, they did. Never
did It's not like we never showed up.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah no, no, they got there, but that it was
they couldn't find it event originally.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
But anyway, that was I wanted to bring.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
The computer system has a glitch. It's computers. You know
where we're you know, but we have backups in place
where we can either utilize our phone or we have
map books and we can pull the map book out
and look there if we need so. Not saying it
never happens, but it's rare. If it does happen, And
when you're establishing a new fire department like this, and
you're expecting firefighters to come and work with the town
(16:00):
of Jupiter, that's great. But with the prices and home
values in Jupiter right now, a new firefighter with a
salary of fifty or sixty thousand dollars isn't going to
necessarily be able to afford a house in Jupiter. Most
of the stations that are here in Jupiter now are
(16:20):
highly desirable stations. So the people that have what they
call to bid there where they're permanently assigned to that station,
have been in this area for a very long time,
and they're very familiar with the town of Jupiter, you
know where, and specifically in their zones that they cover.
So it's very very rare that something like that would happen.
It's a one off chance that, you know, it happens.
(16:43):
We're not perfect, we're human beings, So to say that
having our own dedicated police fire department is going to
change that is just to me not true. It's going
to it's still has the potential for happening.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
You're not going to want to answer this question, but
I'm going to ask it anyway. You work for Palm
Beach County Fire Rescue, and you know, once we haven't
established in Jupiter, an established Jupiter Fire Rescue department. Is
it something that you would want to maybe seek employment
with or you want to stay with the county.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
No, I definitely want to stay with the county I've
worked for. This is my third fire department that I
worked for. My goal in life when I became a
fire partner was to work for Pomage County. I started
my career as a questa great department, great group of guys. However,
being young and with what I was being paid at
the time, because I had into what they called an
(17:41):
interim position, I was only getting paid eight dollars an hour,
it wasn't sustainable for me there. So I went to
Martin County Fire Rescue. And this is back when a
lots of the departments were on hiring freezes after the
recession in two thousand eight, So the competitiveness to get
(18:02):
a job in this area at that time was very high.
So I finally got hired with Martin County. I was
at Martin County for a little over a year. Again,
they were having some recession issues where the guys work
even being given raises to keep up with cost of
living and things. So when I had the opportunity to
get hired with Palm Beach County, I took it. It's
a very large department, it's very well established. It's around
(18:25):
the cutting edge of everything from firefighting and EMS care,
and it's a department I wanted to work for to
be able to essentially be the best firefighter I could
possibly be and grow my career with that department. The
advancement opportunities, the different specialties that you can do is
endless with Palm Beach County, and that's why I wanted
(18:47):
to go there. So I'm going to be staying there.
I've been there for almost ten years now. I don't
see a need to leave and go somewhere else at
my age now, so I will not be putting my
hat in the ring for Jupiter Fire Rescue.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
At your age, you were what bored in the eighties?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Come on, anyway, Yeah, you're talking to a fifty five
year old man, anyway, So do you.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Do you see?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Because I mean, I I don't know how many unemployed
firefighters there are right now. Obviously, there are people that
you know want to become and there's you know people
always going to you know, training to become a firefighter.
But when they establish this, uh is the new department
going to to your knowledge, going to try to poach
people from PBC PBC.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I don't think they'll actively be approaching Combee County firefighters
or any other firefighters throughout the county. It'll be advertised,
as you know, for someone to come, but they're not
going to actively go anywhere and recruit anybody. Uh, they'll
be able to recruit people. We are they're rolling out
firefighters and paramedics out of school by the thousands every year,
(19:54):
so they'll have a good pool of applicants they may
try to h I would say entit people to come
if they have years of experience from other departments. Maybe
it's in a different part of Florida where they don't
get paid as much and they don't have the best benefits.
There's some departments in smaller rural areas that just don't
have the support unfortunately, so they may try to come
(20:15):
down to a larger department in South Florida and work
in a beautiful area like Jupiter. So it will be
an enticing place to work, for sure, but I don't
see them actively going out trying to poach anybody from
another department.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Well, I don't know if they're active now, but I
know that the governor has in the past, and I
believe it's for firefighters as well, and police that are
recruited from other states to come home to Florida. I
would wonder if that would be something an angle that
the department would try to get some people from other
states where they could get bonuses and obviously pay no.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Income tax.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah, so there's that right now. Is established for law enforcement.
I could have.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Sworn it was the first responders.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yeah, I say, is this for this? For all?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I thought it was fire It was all first responded.
I'd have to look that up, but that's it's now.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
I had to look too. From my knowledge, it was
law enforcement only. I don't think they've ever had a
recruitment issue for firefighters and in Florida. But if that
provision was there, that'd be great and you get a
sign on bonus and things like that come down here.
I think we may have done that up for a
few police officers in the time of Jupiter. But if
(21:34):
they had that provision for any first responder of firefighters,
that'd be a great program.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Florida jobs dot org.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Eligible first responders, sworn law enforcement, emergency medical technicians, firefighters,
and paramedics receive recognition payments up to one thousand dollars
after tax to reward them for their dedicated public service
through the Essential First Responders Recognition Program. We don't have
time for me to click into that, but that's what
it is.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
I don't know if that's the same thing we're talking about,
but I could be I could be wrong. All Right,
I kept you so long, but I want to there's
another big topic, uh, Sunny Sands, and if you could
briefly talk about I know that's one of your on
your platform as well, and that is a big bone
of contention in the in the town as well.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Yeah. So I've always been in support of acquiring Suny
Sands through purchase. We're not going to just you know,
imminent domain and take it away from the property owner.
I've always wanted to work with the property owner to
purchase it to preserve it. Uh. It is a very
very important historical piece in our town. Uh. There was
a large Native American settlement there. We had the original
(22:38):
Celestial Railroad ran through there. That's where the terminus was
on the north end of the property at the Lochatchi River.
So it's a very important piece of the town. It's
in an area where the area can't really handle much
more development. It's already congested enough as it is, and
you know, developing anything on that parcelal land would just
I feel be detrimental to traffic and to the property
(23:01):
as a whole. And you know, any sort of disturbing
that property where you know, the artifacts that they found
date back to I think five thousand DC. So getting
that piece of land, preserving it for people to be
able to visit and learn about the history of the
area is very important to me. I've indicated to the
(23:23):
property owner that I want to work with him to
try to purchase the property as much as the property
as possible. I'd like to get all ten acres if
I could, and whether it's through funding from the state,
from the federal level, obviously locally, we have funds in
our Community Redevelopment Agency fund that we can use. We
(23:43):
have some funds from our green Space BAWD that was
approved back in twenty sixteen that we can use and
then you know, maybe work with a developer on like
a payment plan and say, hey, you won't pay taxes
on this property anymore. We'll take that over and then
we will give you a certain amount of money whatever
is negotiated for the next so many years to make
you hold on the property. So it's something that is
(24:04):
you know, I'm passionate about to us pay and I'm
going to be continuing to work to do that if
I'm elected as mayor.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Okay, and then real quick traffic and I know Indian
Town Road is a state.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
I believe it's a state. Yeah, well that that's where
I was going.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
But what one answer, you know, one comment that I
get from a lot of candidates in the town is
you know, well, there's not a whole lot we can
do about it because it's a it's a state road.
But you know what, what is there that can be
done on the local level to help drivers out a
little bit?
Speaker 3 (24:42):
You know they are along Indian Town Road.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah, So our job is local officials at these state
and county roads is to advocate for the traffic issues.
I mean, even though there's nothing we standpoint as far
as construction or changing anything like that. We can still
be the advocates at the state level, at the county
level for our residents and to alleviate traffic issues. We
(25:07):
were able to secure state funding to offset some of
the construction costs of widening of Indiantown Road near the
Western Corridor, and you know, they had the state put
in the new traffic light to update that interchange. For
the longest time, it was what they called a rural
interchange where traffic flowed directly from the interstate onto Indiantown
(25:29):
Road and there was no traffic light to try to
control traffic coming on and off the highway, similar to
what you have at every interchange going south up here.
So the last one in Palm Beach County that wasn't
like that, and traffic has gotten a lot better in
the area as they were able to open all the
ends up. There is still one more lane to be
(25:49):
opened which will further alleviate traffic. But going forward, you
need to be the best advocates you can. If there's
a traffic problem and there's a potential solution that can
be seen. If it's a funding issue, then we as
the council at a local level need to find a
way to help the fund it and get it moved
(26:11):
up in its plan. They always have these plans five
ten years out for when they're going to change things
and get sort of a major issue where the road
is failing that we can try to get it moved
up in the plan and help provide funding for that
project and get it done sooner to alleviate the traffic.
So that's something that will I say, anybody would agree
(26:32):
that they would want to do for the town. There
are some roadway projects that can be added on Island
Way that I've always advocated to get done to allow
traffic to flow south on Island Way into the Commerce Park,
especially in the mornings and the evenings when everyone's going
to work. So those types of projects that are trying
to move forward on those that try to alleviate most
(26:54):
of that traffic. And it's mainly the western part of
anytown road, biggest traffic issue that we have.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
By the way, just to go back to what I
mentioned earlier, I was able to find this the Essential
First Responder Recognition payment program that was something that was
running through twenty twenty three. Looks like that was not
renewed beyond that and then the recruitment bonuses were you
are correct law enforcement solely.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
So yeah, the other program you're referring to, I can
give you just a quick insight any firefighters NS personnel
law enforcement that we're working in the in the state
of Florida for the past, for the twenty two and
I believe twenty twenty three. Yeah, the state group in
their budget and that's one thousand dollars essentially bonus to
(27:48):
the firefighters, got us person all the same, I thank you.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
And it looks like that ended.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
That ended in twenty twenty three at this point, whether
it's I don't know whether it's you know, in the
governor's new proposed budget for the next fiscal year or not,
but it hadn't been for the last two I guess.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
So all right, and really quick, and we're going to
wrap up here soon.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
What. Uh So, you're you're currently a council member, you're
running for this seat as mayor. Obviously you have hopes
that you're.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Going to win.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Let's say you don't. What what happens then? I mean,
is there an opportunity for you to get back onto
the council at some point?
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Is that even something you'd want to do, No.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
I would. You know, I'm going to respect the will
of the voters if they vote me to be the
mayor and the greatest if they do not, then I
will respect their decision. Unfortunately, with safe statute that was
written for me to run to the mayor seat because
it's kind of less concurrent with my term, and as
a counseil member, I did have to resign. My resumeation
(28:55):
takes us back at the first meeting in March half
of the election. So my residence will be effective from
my council seat, and I'm either moving to the mayor
sat or I'm not. And I'll just you know, be
always be an advocate for my community no matter what.
And you know, I just enjoy my life raising my
family here and doing our beautiful.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Town all right.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
And then the final question two candidates here, we have
an incumbent, we have a council member yourself running challenging him. Why, ultimately,
in a nutshell, should folks vote for Cameron may.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
You know, like I said this the other night, we
had a candidate for him, and you know, I'm raising
my family here. Any decision I make, obviously not only
affect me, but it affects all the residents in Jupiter,
people that I've grown up with. And I'm just trying
to do the best for my hometown that I possibly can.
I'm trying to leave this place, we say it in
the fire Service, leave it better than you found it.
(29:51):
That's my goal. That's been my mission along and I'll
continue to do that for the residents of Jupiter.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
All Right, well, I appreciate you speaking to residents of
Jupiter Mayoral race. Mayoral candidate Town of Jupiter, Cameron may
Thank you for joining me here on wj o O
dot com.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Thank you, Jill, have a great day.
