LET'S MOVE ON TO PROCLAMATION AND PROMOTIONS.

WE WILL MOVE AROUND THE FRONT AND GET STARTED.

>> WHEREAS OVER HALF OF A CENTURY AGO OUR NATION WAS MOVED BY A YOUNG PREACHER CALLED A GENERATION INTO ACTION AND BECAME A CATALYST FOR SOCIAL CHANGE.

WHEREAS THE REVEREND DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. BELIEVED THAT ALL PEOPLE ARE MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE AND CREATED EQUAL AND DEVOTED HIS LIFE TO THE STRUGGLE OF EQUALITY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL AMERICANS. WHEREAS DR. KING ADVOCATED NONVIOLENT ACTIONS AS A MEANS TO OVERCOME RACISM IN AMERICA AND LEAD THE EFFORT THAT RESULTED IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 AND THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT OF 1965 THAT GUARANTEED ALL CITIZENS THE RIGHT TO VOTE REGARDLESS OF RACE.

WHEREAS DR. KING DEDICATED HIS LIFE TO EMPOWERING PEOPLE AND CHALLENGING THEM TO LIFT UP THEIR NEIGHBORS AND COMMUNITIES BEFORE TRAGICALLY BEING ASSASSINATED 50 YEARS AGO.

WHEREAS THE COMMEMORATION OF HIS LEGACY SHOULD NOT ONLY BE ATTRIBUTED TO HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO AMERICA AND THE WORLD BUT A REMINDER THAT EVERY DAY, EACH OF US CAN PLAY A PART CONTINUING THE CRUCIAL WORK, AND WHEREAS HIS STRENGTH, PERSISTENCE AND DETERMINATION OF SERVICE TO OTHERS IS THE BEDROCK UPON WHICH WE HONOR THE DATE OF HIS BIRTH WITH A NATIONAL DAY OF SERVICE.

[00:10:02]

DULY ADOPTED BY THE BOARD, THIS 12TH DAY OF JANUARY, 2021.

>> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

WORDS FOR US. >> THANK YOU FOR COMING.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE. I DID NOT COME PREPARED TO SAY EVERYONE BUT THANK YOU. AS WE ARE NO, HE HAS DONE AMAZING THINGS FOR AMERICA. WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE THIS

OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE TODAY. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> THANK YOU. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE BOARD FOR ALLOWING US TO COME. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME GO LAST. WE KNOW THAT, DR. KING'S BIRTHDAY, WILL BE CELEBRATED, ACTUALLY IT IS THE 15TH OF JANUARY BUT ON THE 18TH WE KNOW THAT WILL BE THE NATIONAL DAY OF CELEBRATION. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN 91-YEARS-OLD THIS YEAR. IN LIGHT OF EVERYTHING THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE, THE MESSAGE HE HAS RINGS TRUE TODAY.

[00:15:11]

GET THEM ON THE SIDE. >> THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF THE JOB. I AM SOON TO BE CAPTAIN STOKES I JOINED THE DEPARTMENT IN JANUARY.

A RAPID RISE TO NOW BEING PROMOTED TO CAPTAIN.

HE IS ASSIGNED AT STATION 22 ON PINE AVENUE.

IT IS ALSO THE DEPARTMENT'S HAZMAT TEAM.

ONE THING I REMEMBER ABOUT CHRIS, THEY ARE RENOWNED AROUND THE STATE FOR THEIR HAZMAT EXPERTISE.

THEY STAND WELL WITH THE REST OF THE TEAMS IN COMPETITION.

THEY HAVE DONE A GREAT CREDIT TO THE DEPARTMENT.

TODAY, WE WILL TAKE CHRIS NEXT STEP IN THE EVOLUTION.

SO THEY WILL PROVIDE THE CALLER TRACTOR WHERE.

HE HAS RISE THROUGH THE FIELD. THE BADGE, THIS IS OKAY.

IT WILL COME OUT IN THE CLEANER. THE BEST PART OF THIS JOB, CHRIS, IF YOU RAISE HER RIGHT HAND YOU WILL REPEAT AFTER ME.

I AM CHRIS STOKES, I SOLEMNLY SWEAR I WILL EXECUTE THE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES, OF THE POSITION OF CAPTAIN.

SETTING A GOOD EXAMPLE OF ALL ACTIONS AND DEEDS.

I WILL SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.

THE STATE OF FLORIDA. AND THE LAWS AND ORDINANCES OF CLAY COUNTY, AND WILL, TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITIES, SERVE AND PROTECT THE CITIZENS AND VISITORS OF THIS COMMUNITY, AND THE DISCHARGE OF MY DUTIES, SO HELP ME GOD.

CONGRATULATIONS CAPTAIN.

>> WE WILL DO PICTURES AND THEN I WILL TURN IT BACK TO YOU.

>> CAPTAIN THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND CONGRATULATIONS.

DO YOU WANT TO SAY A FEW WORDS? >> THE MAN CAN RUN INTO A BURNING BUILDING BUT ASK HIM TO SAY SOME WORDS AND -- CONGRATULATIONS. WE KNOW THIS IS A TOUGH CLIMB.

WE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO. YOU ARE IN MY FIREHOUSE SO GOOD

JOB. >> WHY DON'T YOU GUYS COME RIGHT

IN HERE. >> WE CAN HEAD BACK TO THE

DEISTS. >> WE WILL GET BACK ON TRACK

[PRESENTATIONS]

HE IS THE PRESIDENT, HE WILL TALK TO US THIS AFTERNOON ABOUT OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH JAXUSA AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE. >> GOOD AFTERNOON.

SO, THIS IS GREAT. NICK, I WAS JUST ASHY APPEAR.

>> THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT TO YOU THIS AFTERNOON. WITH REGARDS TO JAXUSA HOW WE DO

[00:20:01]

AS WELL AS, HOW WE ACTUALLY HAD TO PIVOT DURING COVID.

SO, WE WILL GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED.

LAST YEAR WAS A DIFFICULT YEAR. I WILL TELL YOU, I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR ROUGHLY 25 YEARS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. YOU GUYS PROBABLY NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS EITHER. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, COVID-19 CHANGE THAT WE DID VISITS AND WE HAD TO SET THIS AS A PRIORITY. CONSIDERING THE FACT, WE HAD A NUMBER OF JOB OFFERS. SO, BEING ABLE TO PREVENT AND COME BACK FROM THAT, AS A REGION AND THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF JANUAR% UNEMPLOYMENT IN THE REGION DESPITE THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND WE HAVE BEEN COMING DOWN BUT WE WILL NOT BE SATISFIED UNTIL WE ARE BACK TO NORMAL. THIS IS A PRIORITY FOR THE REGION AND IT SHOULD BE A NUMBER ONE PRIORITY.

I'LL WANT TO BE CONSERVATIVE WITH MY NUMBERS WHEN I SAY, A LITTLE ABOVE 50%. SOME TRAVEL OUTSIDE AND I RECOGNIZE THE POSITION. I KNOW YOU WOULD LOVE TO BUILD A COMMERCIAL BASE HERE. THINGS TO SUPPORT YOUR PARKS AND INFRASTRUCTURES. WE WANT TO BE A GREAT PARTNER TO DO THAT. THEY ARE DOING A GOOD JOB COMPARED TO OTHERS IN THE SOUTHEAST AND THE STATE.

I SUPPORT THE WORK THAT WE DO. SO, WHAT IS OUR MISSION.

I WILL BOIL IT DOWN TO THIS. THIS IS ABOUT MAKING SURE PEOPLE HAVE MEANINGFUL AND GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT AND A CAREER CHOICE.

WE RECOGNIZE THAT NOT EVERYONE WILL GO TO A FOUR-YEAR INSTITUTION. I THINK I AM ONE OF THE PEOPLE GOOD AT WHAT I DO. YOU CANNOT CALL ME TOO COME TO YOUR HOUSE AND FIX YOUR PLUMBING.

YOU COULD, BUT I WOULD NOT ADVISE YOU TO DO THAT.

NEVERTHELESS, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE HAS MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT. THAT IS WHEN WE ARE ALL ABOUT.

WHAT AREAS DO RECOVER, WE COVER ALL OF THE AREAS.

FROM THE FLORIDA LINE AND WE COME BACK UP, TO BAKER COUNTY.

THAT IS ALL 1.7 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE REGION.

WE HAVE A STAFF OF ABOUT 4-10 INDIVIDUALS.

I WILL TALK TO YOU ABOUT THAT AND THE BUDGET.

OF THE STAFF, WE HANDLE THE BUSINESS.

WE HANDLED THE EXPANSION. WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT.

THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT THE STAFF IS SKILLED AT DOING.

THIS IS IN EACH AREA ITSELF. YOUR LOCAL EDC IS THE PERSON WHO WILL INTERFACE WITH YOU, WE WILL BE THE PEOPLE ON THE SCENES HELPING AND GIVING THE DATA. THAT IS WHAT WE ARE HERE TO DO.

IT IS A GREAT PARTNERSHIP. ONE WE ARE PROUD OF AS WELL AS THE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE. ( INDISCERNIBLE ) IF YOU DO NOT

[00:25:55]

AND FROM THE TALENT STANDPOINT. HOWEVER, WE DO WHAT WE CAN TO HEAD OF TALENT DEVELOPMENT. YOU CAN'T DO THIS IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE TALENT. WHAT ARE THE SKILLS NEEDED IN THIS REGION FOR THE COMPANY TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

THE EDUCATIONAL APPARATUS UNDERSTANDS THAT.

WE ARE GLAD TO HAVE HER ON THE TEAM.

WE ALSO HAVE COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND WE DEAL WITH A LOT OF ADVERSITY INCLUSION AND EQUITY ANGELA CAME ON THAT SHARE.

WE ARE VERY DIVERSE. SO, BEING PART OF THE PARTNERSHIP, IT IS ABOUT ASSISTANCE.

A COMPANY WILL NOT WANT TO BROADCAST WHERE THEY WANT TOO.

SO THIS IS THE ENTITY. WE BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH CONSULTANTS. CORPORATE AND REAL ESTATE EXECUTIVES. WE HANDLE ALL OF THE MARKETING.

THE LAST COMPONENT PUBLIC POLICY.

WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT. PUBLIC POLICY, ARE WE COMPETITIVE. THROUGH THE AREAS.

THIS IS ALL CENTERED AROUND PUBLIC POLICY.

STATE LEVEL AND LOCAL LEVEL. WHEN YOU INVOLVE ALL OF THIS.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. YOU CAN LOOK AT THIS SLIDE, SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINES THAT IT DEALS WITH AN NURTURES DOWNTOWN INVESTING IN INFRASTRUCTURE AND PRODUCTS AND ATTRACT TALENT. ALL OF THAT MAKES THIS.

THAT IS WHERE THE 150 YEARS THE TEAM HAS ENABLES US TO BE ONE OF THE BEST ORGANIZATIONS. THESE COMPONENTS HERE, ADD TO THAT. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO IT, YOU WILL NOT BE SUCCESSFUL.

DOWNTOWN WILL NOT BE SUCCESSFUL. ATTRACTING TALENT IS THE KEY AND ALSO DEVELOPING SKILLED WORKERS. WE HAVE A GREAT ADVANTAGE, WE HAVE TWO NAVAL BASES AND AN ARMY BASE.

3,000 PEOPLE DECIDES THEY WILL LEAVE THE MILITARY EACH YEAR END 65% DECIDE TO STAY IN THE AREA. THAT MAKES US A ROBUST CITY.

IT MAKES US A MARKETABLE REGION. PEOPLE WANT TO BUILD COMPANIES HERE. WE HAVE A GOOD THING GOING HERE.

LAST SUMMER WAS NOT A GOOD SUMMER.

I WILL TELL YOU WHY, FROM THE STANDPOINT OF WE WERE DEALT A LOW BLOW. THIS IS WHAT WE CALL THE QUALIFIED TARGET INDUSTRY. THAT IS HOW WE STAY COMPETITIVE.

[00:30:06]

THIS WAS AN ARTICLE THAT CAME OUT IN JULY.

NORTH CAROLINA SAID, THEY STAND TO GAIN AND LOSE A KEY TAX CREDIT. IS LIKE TRYING TO DO THIS JOB WITH BOTH OF YOUR HANDS TIED BEHIND YOUR BACK AND YOU'RE TRYING TO BE COMPETITIVE, AND AT THE STATE LEVEL AND LOCAL LEVEL, THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THIS.

WE DON'T PLAY THAT GAME, WE WON'T WRITE YOU AN UPFRONT CHECK, I BELIEVE WE HAVE LOW TAXATION HERE.

NO STATE INCOME TAX BACK WE CAN COMPETE WE CAN COMPETE WITH ANY STATE BUT NOT HAVING THE ABILITY TO DO THIS HURTS US.

WHEN WORKING WITH THE STATE TO BRING THAT PROGRAM BACK.

IT WILL BE IMPORTANT. SENATOR BRADLEY WILL BE IMPORTANT. EACH OF YOU WILL BE IMPORTANT TO THAT. THAT IS A TOOL THAT HELPS YOU, AND IT HELPS US AS WE TRY TO BRING COMPANIES INTO THE REGION.

SO THE RELATIONSHIP. THE STATE OF FLORIDA, THEY ARE AN ENTITY SIMILAR TO US. WE HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH ENTERPRISE. WE ARE RECOGNIZED AS THE ORGANIZATION WHICH WE HAVE THIS RELATIONSHIP WITH ALL SEVEN COUNTIES. I AM NOT THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON ABOUT EACH PARTICULAR COUNTY.

I KNOW A FEW THINGS ABOUT ALL OF THEM BUT THAT IS WHY I RELY ON THE PARTNERSHIPS WITHIN THE COUNTY.

IF A COMPANY WANTS TO BE IN CLAY COUNTY LET THEM COME TO JJ.

THEY ARE THE TWO PEOPLE WHO DO THIS.

THIS IS HOW THE PARTNERSHIP WORKS.

PROSPECT MANAGER. THIS IS HOW WE HANDLE RECRUITMENT. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION. THE REQUEST FOR INFORMATION WILL EITHER COME FROM THE STATE, WHICH WOULD BE HIRING OR IT MAY COME FROM KPMG. THEY ARE REQUESTING INFORMATION BECAUSE THEY WANT TO KNOW ARE WE INTERESTED IN HAVING THIS COMPANY WITHIN OUR REGION. WHEN WE GET THIS, THE FIRST THING I WANT TO SAY IS THIS. DO WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO DISTRIBUTE THIS TO ALL OF OUR COUNTIES.

I'M HOPING THE ANSWER IS YES. THAT MEANS THE COMPANY HAS NOT DONE RESEARCH SO WE CAN SHINE AND WORK WITH ALL PARTNERS.

IF THEY SAY YES WE DISTRIBUTE IT TO ALL OF THE COUNTIES.

THERE ARE CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS. THEY GO THROUGH THEM ALL TO FIND AN ASSET. NOT JUST FOR THE LAND, IT MAY BE A SITE THAT ALREADY HAS THE IT MAY BE AN EXISTING BUILDING BUT IF YOU HAVE IT WHEN WE COLLECT PROPOSALS, WE WILL TAKE YOUR INFORMATION, ALONG WITH THE OTHER COUNTIES AND NEATLY PACKAGED IT THE WAY THE SITE CONSULTANTS NEED TO SEE IT.

THEN WE WILL SUBMIT THAT INITIAL RESPONSE.

THE INITIAL RESPONSE GETS TO THE ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY.

THAT IS WHERE THE COMPANY IS MAKING A DETERMINATION ABOUT THE PROPOSALS THEY HAVE GOTTEN, WHEREVER THEY ARE LOOKING, THEY ARE MAKING A DETERMINATION ABOUT DO YOUR SITE MEET THEIR CRITERIA. HOPEFULLY IT DOES.

IF SO, THEY WILL TELL US, THEY WILL CONSIDER THOSE SITES IN THOSE AREAS A LITTLE MORE. LITTLE MORE IN DEBT.

THAT IS WHERE WE ARE TRAINING INFORMATION AND BUILDING INFORMATION WITH THEM. TRYING TO GET THEM TO KEEP US AS A REGION, AS A PARTICULAR COUNTY IN THEIR MIX TO GET TO THE SITE.

I FIRMLY BELIEVE ONCE YOU GET A SITE HERE, WE CAN DO THAT.

ONCE THEY ARE COMFORTABLE AND SAY THEY WANT TO BE IN CLAY, THE NEGOTIATIONS WILL BE HANDLED NO MATTER HOW, THAT IS HOW THEY

[00:35:08]

IN THE ANNOUNCEMENT, HOW SOON CAN THEY GET STARTED.

HOW SOON CAN THEY GET UP TO SPEED.

MOST IMPORTANT IS NUMBER 11. KEEPING THAT PARTICULAR COMPANY HERE, LONG RANGE AND MAKING SURE THEY CAN ACTUALLY RUN.

>> COVID-19 FORCED US TO PIVOT. WE HAD TO DEVELOP DIFFERENT TOOLS TO DO THIS SO WE HAD TO GO VIRTUAL.

IN ORDER TO DO THAT, WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF PIPELINE PROJECTS BUT WE HAD TO SHIFT. WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE KEPT ENGAGEMENT WITH THE COMPANIES WE ARE WORKING WITH.

THAT IS WHY WE DID THINGS THROUGH ZOOM, WE HAD WEB MEETINGS AND MORE. WE ALSO STARTED WORKING AND BRINGING PEOPLE THROUGH SITE TOOLS.

THIS IS WHAT WE CAME TO THE SITE IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, THEY MAY SAY THESE ARE THE ONES WE WANT TO LOOK AT.

THIS IS WITHIN CLAY COUNTY. WE ARE DOING THIS OVER ZOOM.

IS THIS THE SITE YOU WANT TO CONSIDER, THEY SAY YES, WE WANT TO DO THIS. THIS COMPANY WANTS TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS. THIS IS HOW WE WILL PREVENT TO CONTINUE TO DO THE BUSINESS WE ARE DOING.

WITH THIS, WE HAVE HAD TO REALLY FOCUS ON RETENTION.

SO, YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY IF SOMEONE IN YOUR FAMILY IS LOOKING FOR JOB I WILL TAKE DOWN THIS LINK TO FIND YOUR JACK.COM WE ARE TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES TO FOOD JOBS ONLINE AND SAY TO PEOPLE, YOUR JOB MAY BE IN ATLANTA BUT IF I GET YOU TO THE REGION, YOU MAY DETERMINE YOU WANT TO WORK FOR A COMPANY WITHIN THE REGION. THAT IS A GREAT WAY TO KEEP THE TALENT HERE. NEXT LINE.

LAST YEAR, WE REFERRED SO MANY TO CLAY TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO US. TO SUBMIT.

SOME OF THE PROJECTS, ADVANCED MANUFACTURING.

FIFTY TO 100 JOBS. AND THEY MAY HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE UNITS OF POLITIES. THE PROJECT DEFINITELY CAME OUT.

THIS IS 186 JOBS. THIS PROJECT IS MOVING SLOW.

NEVERTHELESS, HE SUBMITTED IT ON THE SITE.

THEY SAID IT WAS UNACCEPTABLE. THE SITE IS STILL UNDER CONSIDERATION. HOPEFULLY THE 1ST QUARTER, IT WILL PICK UP MORE. HOPEFULLY THAT SITE WILL REMAIN IN THE MIX ITSELF. SOMETIMES YOU SUBMIT A SITE AND IT DOES NOT WORK OUT. ACCORDING TO THE COMPANY, THIS WAS THE REASON WHY. THAT IS THE FEEDBACK AND THAT IS ALL WE HAVE TO GO ON. SO ASSETS.

EDUCATION. QUALITY OF LIFE.

LARGE EMPLOYERS. YOU HAVE THE NUMBER EIGHT SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

THAT IS A GREAT SELLING POINT I TAKE PRIDE IN THAT BECAUSE MY WIFE IS THE PRINCIPAL. I HEAR A LOT ABOUT CLAY COUNTY SCHOOLS. BUT, YOU ARE ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING COUNTIES IN THE STATE. AGAIN, WITH THAT GROWTH,

[00:40:06]

YOU ARE CLOSE TO ALL OF THE HEALTHCARE.

THAT IS WHAT I'M SURE THE MILITARY STILL LIVES HERE WITHIN THE CLAY COUNTY AREA. HERE ARE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS I BELIEVE WITH YOU. I WILL TALK ABOUT COUNTY OWNED AND SITE READY PROJECTS. LARGE LAND OWNERS MEETINGS AND THE AIRPORT. SOME EXAMPLE OF COUNTY OWNED SITES. ONE OF THE COUNTIES WITHIN OUR REGION, THEY OWNED THEIR OWN INDUSTRIAL PARKS.

THEY PUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN. THIS FROM A DEVELOPER STANDPOINT OR A COMPANY'S STANDPOINT REDUCES THEIR COSTS.

I'M NOT TELLING YOU THAT IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO BUT I AM SAYING THAT IS WHAT THEY HAVE DONE. THIS IS PROBABLY OWN, BUT THIS IS A NATIONAL COUNTY. PROBABLY OWNED, WORK WITH THE CITY AS WELL AS THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION, AND THEY HAVE RECEIVED A $5 MILLION GRANT. AGAIN, MAKING THEMSELVES AVAILABLE TO HAVING INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAKING THEMSELVES ATTRACTIVE. NEXT LINE.

FROM THE RESILIENCY FOR THE REGION, WE HAVE FIVE INDUSTRIES THAT WE FOCUS ON. ADVANCED MANUFACTURING.

FINANCIAL SERVICES, INNOVATION AND LOGISTICS.

THAT DOES NOT MEAN WHEN JJ AND LAURA COME TO YOU AND YOU DEVELOP YOUR OWN PLAN YOU HAVE TO FOCUS ON ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT KEY INDUSTRIES. ADVANCED MANUFACTURING MAY BE THE WAY YOU WANT TO GO IN ADDITION TO BIOMEDICAL.

THOSE ARE YOUR CHOICES. THIS IS WHAT WE DO.

IT HAS PROVEN VERY EFFECTIVE FOR US.

YOU KNOW, IN JUNE OR JULY OF 2018 I SPOKE AT A LUNCHEON.

THERE WERE SOME THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT.

THE LAND IS WORTH WHAT SOMEONE IS WILLING TO PAY.

BUT WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT IS THIS.

IF THE COMPANY WANTS TO BRING THEIR PROPERTY THERE HOW DO YOU TAKE THE LAND AND TURNED IT INTO AN ASSET.

THAT IS A CONVERSATION YOU HAVE TO HAVE.

I PROPOSE THIS. I'VE PROPOSE JAXUSA WILL WORK TOGETHER TO BRING EVERYONE TOGETHER AND WE WILL BRING IN DEVELOPERS. THIS WILL HELP YOU HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT POSITIONING THE LAND INTO ASSETS TO WHICH THE COMPANIES WILL LOOK TO INCREASE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU TO LAND PROPERTIES HERE. KEYSTONE HEIGHTS AIRPORT.

WE MET WITH HOWARD AND HIS TEAM, BACK IN MAY.

I WILL SAY THAT, CONSERVATIVELY, INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS, ET CETERA, PROBABLY $13 MILLION. COULD BE MORE THAN THAT.

SENATOR BRADLEY NEEDS TO HEAR ABOUT THE NEEDS THERE.

AS THEY ADVANCE IN THEIR CAREERS AND LEADERSHIP AND THE STATE WILL HELP LOOK AT FUNDING THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

THE STARS DO NOT LINE UP OFTEN AS THEY DID WITH THE CENTER AND YOUR FORMER COUNTY MANAGER BEING AT THE SAME PLACE AT THE SAME TIME. WE NEED TO BUILD THE RELATIONSHIPS TO MAKE SURE SO WE CAN MAKE THIS A GREAT ASSET.

THESE ARE MY RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE.

I AM SORRY FOR TAKING SO MUCH TIME I JUST WANT TO SEE HOW WE WORK TOGETHER AND THE OPPORTUNITIES.

MR. CHAIR, I WILL TURN IT BACK TO YOU.

>> THANK YOU. I DID MENTION TO THE COUNTY MANAGER AFTER WE MET A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO ABOUT THE LARGER

[00:45:01]

DOES ANYONE ELSE ON THE BOARD HAVE A QUESTION OR COMMENT.

>> YOUR PREDECSSORS WERE CORNERSTONE.

ONE OF THE MODELS WE USED WAS HAVING A STABLE OF EXPERTS.

YOU MENTIONED RELATIONSHIPS. I HAVE HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE OF BEING AN AVIATION GUY AND SPOKE TO A LOT OF THE CANDIDATES ABOUT THE AVIATION CAPABILITIES AND THE TALENT IN NORTHEAST FLORIDA.

DO YOU HAVE A STABLE OF EXPERTS. I COULD NOT SPEAK MUCH TO HEALTHCARE BUT YOU TALKED ABOUT AIRPLANES AND I CAN TALK ABOUT AIRPLANES ALL DAY LONG. THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR.

SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS THEIR PROBLEM, AND HELPS THEM THROUGH THE PROCESS. WHEN WE GO THROUGH THE PROSPECT PROCESS, IF WE HAVE A SITE VISIT, WHAT IS -- IF IT IS TRANSPORTATION, WE WILL HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE SKILLED IN THAT SECTOR WITH US HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH THEM.

AGAIN, I AM NOT A PLUMBER OR A NEW ELECTRICIAN.

BUT IF SOMEONE NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THE WATER TEMPERATURE, WE WILL HAVE SOMEONE THERE.

WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERS AND WE HAVE GREAT RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE FIRM'S IN THE REGION.

WE DON'T DO THIS JUST TO SAY WERE BRINGING IN THE EXPERTS.

>> JJ IS GOOD, BUT NOT THAT GOOD.

>> I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT I BELIEVE CLAY COUNTY, RANKED FIFTH IN GRADUATIONS AS FAR AS THE SYSTEM.

>> YES, SIR. >> ANY OTHER COMMENTS.

ANDRE, WE THANK YOU AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

WE WILL BE IN TOUCH ABOUT THE LAND OWNERS MEETING.

>> ALRIGHT, LET'S MOVE TO, THE PROGRESS REPORT ON THE BOND TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM. THIS WILL TELL US ABOUT THE

DASHBOARD TODAY. >> ALL POSITIVE NUMBERS.

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S. I HOPE EVERYONE HAD A BLESSED HOLIDAY. WITH ME TONIGHT IS ADAM.

SINCE OUR LAST REPORT, WE HAVE HAD PROGRESS ON OUR PROGRAM.

SINCE WE HELD OUR LAST MEETING ON DECEMBER 8, WE HAVE HAD OUR WEEKLY PROGRESS MEETINGS. WE ARE HAPPY TO REPORT FROM A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE WE HAVE HAD NO INJURIES OR ACCIDENTS.

EVERYTHING IS ON SCHEDULE AND ON BUDGET.

THIS WILL IDENTIFY THE BEST METHOD THIS IS A REQUEST FOR A PROPOSAL WHICH IS GOING TO THE AVENUE.

A DESIGN CONSULTANT FOR GROUP NUMBER TWO.

THIS WAS ADVERTISE AND THIS INCLUDES PROJECTS TO-5 AND 6A.

THIS IS THE WE ARE FOCUSING THAT ON FINDING THE MOST QUALIFIED AS WELL AS THE BEST FIRMS. WE PLAN TO WHAT TO EXPECT NEXT MONEY -- MIKE MONDAY, WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THE SURVEY WORK AND PUTTING TOGETHER THE DEVELOPER AND USE AGREEMENTS.

WE WILL ISSUE, A REQUEST FOR THE DESIGN BUILD PROPOSALS AND PROJECT ONE. AND LASTLY, WE WILL BE RECEIVING

[00:50:06]

SO, WITH THAT IN SUMMARY. IT WAS A SHORT MONTH WITH CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR'S BUT WE HAD PRETTY GOOD PROGRESS.

WE DON'T SEE ANYTHING THAT WILL STAND IN OUR WAY OF THE PROGRAM.

WITH THAT I WILL OPEN THE FLOOR FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

>> G HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? STANCH THE SAFETY NUMBER YOU ARE QUOTING, WILL THAT INCLUDE DUCK CONTRACTORS AND EMPLOYEES WHEN

THIS GETS GOING QUITE. >> GOOD QUESTION.

WHAT WE FORMULATED, IS THIS WILL GO ACROSS THE BOARD FOR ALL CONTRACTORS AS WELL AS THE DESIGN FIRM.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE DASHBOARD YOU WILL NOTICE AT THE BOTTOM THERE IS A TAB FOR EACH PROJECT AND WE CAN SEE OVERALL WHAT THE OVERALL PROGRAM IS AND EACH INDIVIDUAL PROJECT.

THAT WILL HELP US. THIS WILL HELP US IDENTIFY ANY

HIT OR MISS A SUSPECT. >> DO WE HAVE ANY INCENTIVES FOR THE CONTRACTS OVERALL, EVERY TIME WE START A MEETING WE START EVERYONE -- WITH A SAFETY BRIEF AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT.

THIS IS FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR COMMUNITY.

>> VERY GOOD. >> THANK YOU.

THOSE OF YOU LOOKING FOR THE DASHBOARD AS IT WERE, THEY CAN FIND IT AT CLAY COUNTY GEO V.COM.

IT IS A DASHBOARD OF KEY METRICS THEY ARE WORKING WITH.

IT WILL GIVE YOU A PROGRESS REPORT ON EVERYTHING.

>> HEATHER FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH WILL GIVE US AN UPDATE

[18.  COVID Update]

> I DID NOT KNOW IF YOU KNEW THIS BUT COUNCILMEMBER BUTLER IS A NURSE AT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

SHE IS A VALUED MEMBER. I WILL GIVE YOU A HAND OUT FOR WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. TH DATA SHOWS WE ARE IN A SECOND WAVE WE NEED THEM TO SOCIAL DISTANCE AND NOT GATHER IN LARGE GROUPS. THE SECOND HANDOUT WAS THE COUNTY 136 TOTAL HOUSEWIVES. YESTERDAY 124.

THE MAJORITY ARE LOW. THAT IS GOOD NEWS.

IT IS NOT THE SAME SCENARIO WE HAD IN MARCH AND APRIL IN THE NORTHEAST. THE LAST IS THE VACCINE REPORT THAT COMES OUT ON THE DASHBOARD. IT IS GIVEN HOW MANY SHOTS HAVE BEEN GIVEN IN THE COUNTY NOT ONLY BY THE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT. THIS WAS AS OF THIS MORNING YOU CAN SEE CLAY COUNTY CAME A LITTLE OVER 5500 DOSES.

THAT IS JUST IN THE TWO AND HALF WEEKS THE VACCINE STARTED SOAP MASS VACCINATIONS, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THOSE.

WE HAVE RECEIVED, 3800 DOSES. THAT IS IT.

IT IS A TRICKLE EFFECT AND SO THEY WANT PEOPLE TO BE REALISTIC OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. WE HAVE 220,000 RESIDENTS.

35,000 ARE OVER 65. SO, AS THESE MANUFACTURERS RAMP UP AND WE GET MORE SUPPLIES WE WILL PUT MORE SHOTS IN THE ARMS OF THE INDIVIDUALS. WE ARE CURRENTLY DOING TO 24 APPOINTMENT SO WE CAN PREPARE FOR THE DOUBLING OF CAPACITY WHEN THE SECOND SHOTS COME ONLINE IN THE FIRST WEEK OF FEBRUARY SO WE CAN RAMP UP ABOUT 2500 PER WEEK.

THE GOOD NEWS IS YOUR HOSPITALS HAVE STARTED TO REACH OUT TO THE OVER 65 COMMUNITY ALONG WITH THE HEALTHCARE FACILITIES THAT HAVE BEEN AFFILIATION WITH THE HOSPITALS WHERE THEY HAVE CREDENTIALS IN ORDER TO GET THE FRONTLINE HEALTHCARE WORKERS VACCINATED. THE OTHER THING, CVS AND WALGREENS IS WORKING ON THE FEDERAL PARTNERSHIP TO GET THE NURSING HOMES VACCINATED. THE STATE ALONG WITH THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE HAS BROUGHT ON A THIRD PARTNER IN ORDER TO EXPEDITE THAT IN THE COMMUNITY AND WE ARE HOPING THE VACCINATIONS INCLUDING 1ST AND E DONE BY THE END OF FEBRUARY.

THAT WILL BE THE LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES THAT WE HAVE.

[00:55:04]

QUESTIONS. >> I PROBABLY HAVE A GOOD MAJORITY OF THE RESIDENTS IN MY DISTRICT.

ONE OF THE COMMENTS THAT I HAVE BEEN FIELDING, AND I KNOW THE ASSISTANCE OR HAVE BEEN FIELDING IS THAT THEY HAVE NO ACCESS TO SOCIAL MEDIA, UNLESS THEY ARE SITTING IN FRONT OF THE TV.

LIKE THE 800 DOSES, WE GAVE THEM LITTLE NOTICE.

I HAD NUMBERS OF PEOPLE I WOULD CALL BACK.

ONE THING, WE DO NOT HAVE A WAY OF GETTING THESE APPOINTMENTS.

I KNOW ONE OF THEM, THANK YOU CHIEF, HE TOLD SOMEONE TOO, GET SOMEONE TO GET HIM TO THE LABORATORY IT SO HE COULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR HE AND HIS 85-YEAR-OLD WHITE.

THESE ARE THE THINGS THEY ARE FACING.

I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS, I WAS REALLY ANGRY THIS MORNING WHEN I WATCHED THE NEWS BECAUSE I HEARD THE MAYOR SAY, THIS COMMENT, BECAUSE A COUNTY HAD DONE SO WELL WITH THE COVID PUSH OUTS HE COULD GET MORE VACCINES SO HE CAN PUSH IT OUT TO SENIOR

CITIZENS. >> THAT IS NOT A TRUE STATEMENT.

>> REGARDLESS, CLAY HAS DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB WITH --

THROUGHOUT THE CRISIS. >> WHAT ARE YOU SAYING.

>> PLAY AS THE A GREAT JOB, AND I KNOW YOU TWO ARE TRYING TO GET MORE VACCINES FOR US BUT IT IS REALLY FRUSTRATING.

MY OTHER QUESTION IS, HOW ARE THEY ABLE TO GET THAT.

NUMBER TWO, HOW CAN HE SAY IT WILL BE GIVEN AT SENIOR CITIZENS AND ONLY TO DO BALL RESIDENTS. I HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT THEY DO FALL RESIDENTS ARE COMING TO CLAY.

MY PARENTS ARE GOING TO UNION COUNTY.

SO, I UNDERSTAND THE DILEMMA, BUT I WONDERED IF YOU COULD

SPEAK TO THAT. >> CANNOT ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS BEFORE I LOSE TRACK. ONE WAS ABOUT THE DOSAGE.

SO, THEY HAVE BEEN DOING IT BASED ON POPULATION.

IN THE DO BALLROOM I CAN GIVE YOU THE POPULATION.

THEY HAVE A FIVE TIMES POPULATION OF OURS.

THE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT ONLY RECEIVED 26,000.

SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE NUMBERS AND WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS IN THE REALM OF WHERE WE WERE AT.

WE WERE FORTUNATE TO DEVELOP A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE 10,000 DOSES WE RECEIVED FROM PFIZER, WE REDISTRIBUTED TO THE SENIOR CENTER. BOTH WERE COUNTY DOSES THAT SOMEONE ELSE WAS ABLE TO GET THE VACCINATIONS FROM AND WE DID NOT HAVE THE MANPOWER. THAT IS HOW HE GOT THOSE.

FROM MY STAFF AND ALLOCATION. IT WAS VERY LOGISTICALLY CHALLENGING TO MIX TWO TYPES OF VACCINES IN ONE POND.

THAT CAN BECOME A LOGISTICAL NIGHTMARE WHEN THEY HAVE DIFFERENT AMOUNTS AND THEY HAVE DIFFERENT RETURN DATES.

WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE COMMUNICATION PIECE OF THAT.

THE PIECE ABOUT THE ONLINE ACCESS.

IT WILL BE AN ONLINE STRUGGLE AS THE DEMAND IS SO MUCH GREATER THEN THE ACTUAL NUMBER OF DOSES THAT WE HAVE.

EVEN IF YOU OPEN MULTIPLE ACCESS POINTS IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE DENOMINATOR OF HOW MANY DOSES YOU HAVE BEEN THE COUNTY PICK SAY THEY OPEN THREE MORE DOCTORS OFFICES AND THEY SPLIT IT OR WHATEVER THEY WERE GOING TO DO, IT DOES NOT CHANGE THAT YOU HAVE 100,000 PEOPLE VYING FOR THE DOSES.

IT IS VERY CHALLENGING FOR US. I CAN TELL YOU FROM WHAT I'VE LEARNED, YOU DO NOT WANT TO OPEN A PHONE SYSTEM BECAUSE IT WILL CRASH YOUR SYSTEM. THEN YOU HAVE COVID INVESTIGATIONS AND YOUR CONTACT TRACERS NOT BEING ABLE TO MAKE OUTBOUND CALLS. I THINK THAT ANSWERED A COUPLE OF YOUR QUESTIONS UP TO THIS POINT.

>> THE ONLY OTHER THING, THEY USED THIS STATISTIC THAT 38 MILLION DOSES HAVE BEEN SENT TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA BUT ONLY 35,000 HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED OR SOME LOW NUMBER.

I JUST WONDER, WHAT IS GOING ON. ARE THEY HOARDING, I KNOW WE

HEAR ABOUT -- >> IN PLAY, WE DO NOT HAVE ANY.

>> IN NEW YORK CITY I KNOW THEY CAN'T FIND PEOPLE, OBVIOUSLY THAT IS NOT AN ISSUE HERE, IS THERE A PLANNED STATEWIDE TO

DISTRIBUTE MORE QUACKS. >> THE VACCINES ARE COMING FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. SO THEY CANNOT BE BOUND BY

[01:00:04]

THEY HAD TO MAKE A BIT OF IT BECAUSE WHAT THEY WERE DOING WASN'T ACCURATE. THAT HAS BEEN HANDLED.

AGAIN, WE CANNOT BOUND THAT. THIS IS JUST AS IF IT WAS A FEDERAL DOLLAR. WE CANNOT BOUND RESIDENCY BY THAT. THE DOSAGE, I KNOW WE HAVE SEEN IT. THEY ARE GETTING, THE STATE OF FLORIDA GETTING 250,000 DOSES PER WEEK.

THAT IS FOR THE WHOLE STATE. OFF OF THAT THEY HAVE TO FEED CVS AND WALGREENS AND THE LONG-TERM CARE AND THE NURSING HOMES. PUBLIX IS STARTING TO COME ONLINE. THEY ARE EXPANDING TO 70 STORES WITH THE HOPE OF EXPANDING STATEWIDE.

THEY WILL TAKE THE DOSES OFF OF THE TOP AND THAT IS 30,000.

YOU ARE GETTING INTO THE 160,000 THOSE RANGE AND CLAY COUNTY DOES NOT HAVE A LARGE POPULATION WHEN YOU LOOK AT COUNTIES LIKE HILLSBOROUGH, ORANGE, MIAMI-DADE AND BROWARD.

SO, WE ARE CHALLENGED WITH SUPPLIES.

THE DOSES WE HAVE, WE HAVE MADE APPOINTMENTS FOR ALL OF THEM KNOWING WE HAD TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO DOUBLE THE CAPACITY, IF WE RAMPED UP TO ONE 100% OR ABOVE THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE CAPACITY TO DO SECOND -- SECOND SHOTS.

AND THAT IS THE WAY THE VACCINE IS EFFECTIVE.

>> I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS SOMETHING AROUND BUT IT MAY BE WORTHWHILE TO ASK THE NEWS TO FOCUS ON, THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE VACCINE. THEY FOCUS ON WHO WILL OPEN UP DOCTORS OFFICES OR STORES AND THE PUBLIC IS GETTING CONFUSED AND BEATING UP ELECTED OFFICIALS.

>> THEY BEAT US UP ALL OF THE TIME TOO.

>> THAT IS FINE, BUT THEY WON'T GET THE ANSWER THEY WANT.

IF I HAD THE ANSWER I WOULD GIVE IT.

NO ONE WANTS TO FACE THIS. THE OTHER THING I WANTED YOU TO SPEAK ON WAS THE, THE REPORTING THIS WEEK THAT THE VICE PRESIDENT ELECT BIDEN, PRESIDENT-ELECT BIDEN, IS SUGGESTING AFTER HE TAKES OFFICE ON JANUARY 20, WE WILL NOT DO THE SECOND DOSE, WE WILL SPREAD IT OUT.

I JUST WONDERED -- >> I DON'T THINK THAT WAS MENTIONED. I GOT FROM IT THEY FELT MANUFACTURING CAUGHT UP SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO HOLD UP SECOND DOSES AND THEY WOULD RELEASE ALL OF THE DOSES THAT THEY HAD KNOWING THE MANUFACTURING COULD KEEP UP WITH THE SHIPMENT SPIRIT THAT IS HOW I READ IT. THE UK IS GOING A DIFFERENT DIRECTION AND SAYING THEY ARE GETTING AS MANY SHOTS IN ONE PERSON AS WE CAN TAKE AS MANY DOSES AS WE CAN GET.

SO IT IS ONLY A 90 DAY IMMUNITY. THEN WE SEE A WANING EFFECT.

IF YOU CAN'T LOOP BACK IN 90 DAYS YOU MAY BE IN TROUBLE WITH THAT. THAT IS NOT THE WAY THE CLINICAL TRIALS WERE DONE. WE DON'T KNOW THE EFFECTIVENESS IF YOU'RE VACCINATING SOMEONE 3-6 MONTHS AFTER THE FIRST DOSE.

WE DON'T KNOW THE EFFECTIVENESS OF IT.

>> THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION THAT HELPS A LOT.

>> I WANT TO ADD ONE THING. AS FAR AS DEVELOPING A PARTNERSHIP TO HELP SOME OF THE FOLKS WHO ARE TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGED LIKE MYSELF TO GET THEM.

UNTIL WE GET MASS QUANTITIES, IF WE DID PHONE APPOINTMENTS, I WOULD GET THREE IN. BUT WE ARE WORKING TO DEVELOP A PARTNERSHIP ON TRYING TO GET THAT CONNECTED.

AS MORE COME ONLINE, THEY WILL HAVE A BETTER ABILITY TO GO TO

WALGREENS AND CVS. >> HEATHER, I READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT, THE SUSCEPTIBILITY OF TRANSMITTING THE STUFF AFTER YOU GOT THE SHOT. WHAT IS THE TRUTH TO THAT?

>> THIS VACCINE ONLY PREVENTS YOU FROM GETTING SIX EXTRACTS SICK. IT DOES NOT STOP YOU FROM GETTING IN AND SPREADING IT TO OTHERS.

THAT IS WHY WE HAVE TO GET TO THE HERD IMMUNITY.

SO WHEN YOU ARE IN A LARGE GROUP IF EVERYONE IS VACCINATED AND THE VIRUSES SPREADING NO ONE WOULD GET SICK.

IT DOESN'T CHANGE THAT YOU CAN'T GET INFECTED BUT IT DOES CHANGE HOW YOUR BODY WILL RESPOND WHEN THEY SEE THE ANTIGEN.

>> IS THERE ANYONE WE CAN CALL TO PUT PRESSURE TO GET MORE

[01:05:03]

VACCINE TO HELP YOU OUT. >> IF I KNEW THE ANSWER.

>> WHO IS THE IS THE GUIDE. >> WE ARE ALL SAYING THAT.

WE HAVE SOME DOSES THEN BUT WE NEED TO BUILD UP TO THAT CAPACITY. WHEN WE START THE WEEK OF FEBRUARY 1, WE WILL DO FIRST DOSES OR ONLY SECOND DOSES.

THAT IS OUR SITUATION. >> WE HAVE BEEN ASKING, WE HAVE DAILY CALLS WITH EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE. WERE TRYING TO ASK HIM, TO CHANGE HIS MESSAGING BECAUSE, WHEN YOU WATCH THE MESSAGING, THE VACCINE IS GOING ON WERE DOING GREAT THINGS, WE WANT THEM TO RESET, TO HELP THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE CITIZENS.

>> THIS SHOWS A GOOD PERFORMANCE.

IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW MUCH VACCINES EACH COUNTY RECEIVES TO THE NUMBER OF WHAT THEY SAY.

>> TO GIVE YOU VISIBILITY ABOUT THAT.

SAY FOR INSTANCE CLAY GOT 1600 DOSES IN ORANGE PARK GOT 2800 AND WE GOT 1600. THAT IS THE TOTAL.

I THINK THE PALMS GOT 300 DOSES. YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH WE HAVE DONE COMPARED WITH HOW MANY WE HAVE GOTTEN.

WE ARE AT 80%. AGAIN, IT IS SUPPLY, SUPPLY, SUPPLY. WE CANNOT HAVE MORE LOCATIONS BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE THE SAME DENOMINATOR.

IT DOES NOT CHANGE. >> ONE LAST QUESTION, IF WE HAD ENOUGH VACCINE, SOUGHT ON THE NEWS THAT SOME OUTFITS ARE OPENING 24/7 UNTIL THEY GET THE FIRST WAVE DONE.

COULD WE DO THAT? >> WE COULD DO A LOT OF LOGISTICS. BUT IT IS SUPPLY.

>> AS WE STAND NOW, 507, WE DON'T KNOW IF WE WILL GET MORE

DOSES. >> THE STATE PUTS THIS INTO THE SYSTEM. THEY GET THIS BACK FOR THE NEXT WEEK'S SHIPMENT SO WE WON'T HAVE THE NUMBERS UNTIL FRIDAY AT THE EARLIEST. THIS WEEK WE RECEIVED 0.

>> WE HAVE HEARD, I KNOW YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW BECAUSE YOU ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION, WE HAD MILLIONS OF DOSES THAT WERE CONTRACTED FOR, IS THE PROBLEM MANUFACTURING AND THEY CAN'T

KEEP UP? >> BOTH OF THOSE, I THINK ONE IS IN MASSACHUSETTS, BUT THEY ARE MANUFACTURING AROUND-THE-CLOCK.

I THINK IT WAS 200 MILLION DOSES.

THEY HAVE A MANUFACTURER WHO HAD THEM SHIPPED OUT.

>> I THINK PFIZER JUST CAME TO AN AGREEMENT TOO.

>> THESE ARE EXPECTATIONS GOING BACK TO WHAT YOU SAID ON WEDNESDAY LATE MORNING. WE WILL DO AN ANNOUNCEMENT TOMORROW. WE WILL SAY WE DIDN'T GET ANY THIS WEEK SO THERE WON'T BE ANY APPOINTMENTS.

LAST WEEK WE HIT THE NOON LUNCH HOUR.

THE NOON NEWS HOUR AND OPENED THE PORTAL AT 3:00 P.M.

THAT WILL BE THE PLAN. IF NOT, WE WILL MAKE THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT WE WILL WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK.

SO. >> SO SOME PEOPLE MAY BE ABLE TO GENERATE HELP AND THEY MAY BE ABLE TO WATCH AND GET HELP TO

LINE UP THE 3:00 P.M. TIMEFRAME. >> WE DO HAVE, WE HAVE SEEN PEOPLE GOING IN. THEY HE CAN SIGN UP FOR JOHN TWICE AND GO BACK AND PUT HEATHER HUFFMAN.

THAT TYPE OF THING. PUT YOUR GRANDMOTHER OR YOUR GRANDFATHER AND LATER. AS LONG AS WHEN THEY SHOW UP THE NAME MATCHES. WHETHER IT IS YOUR FRIEND, ALSO THE LIBRARY OR WHATEVER. THERE ARE OPTIONS AND WE JUST HAVE TO TRICKLE ALONG. WHAT I'M HOPING FOR, RATHER THAN US GETTING LARGER QUANTITIES COMPANY.

>> THIS DOES NOT CHANGE THE DENOMINATOR.

[01:10:06]

THIS IS GETTING ALL OF THE VACCINE.

I CAN'T MAKE THE ACCESS POINT IN THE COMMUNITY.

RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE ARE AT THE EARLY STAGES IT HAS BEEN

HOSPITALS. >> ANYONE ELSE?

>> ONE COMMON AND ONE QUESTION. >> I DON'T KNOW WHETHER CVS PROVIDED IT OR WHERE IT CAME FROM.

THE SECOND QUESTION, MODERNA IS 12 WEEKS.

I THOUGHT IT WAS TWO WEEKS. >> VISORS THREE WEEKS.

IT IS A SMALL DRAW AND THEN YOU GET THE SECOND THOSE BIG SAME TECHNOLOGY. MODERNA IS SIMILAR EXCEPT IT IS A .5-MILLILITER DRAW AND YOU GET THE SECOND DOSE 28 DAYS LATER.

VERY SIMILAR BUT THE DOSAGE IS STRONGER SO YOU CAN DO A LAG

TIME. >> ANYTHING ELSE?

>> AT ONE MORE QUESTION. >> SO, I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS A ROOM OR WHATEVER. IS THIS A ONE AND DONE OR DO WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN LIKE THE FLU VACCINE.

>> WITH THE FLU WE CHASE IT EVERY YEAR.

IT MIGRATES, IT CHANGES, THERE ARE VARIANTS AND IT CHANGES ENOUGH THAT WE HAVE TO CHASE IT EVERY YEAR.

THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE TO GET A FLU VACCINE.

THE VARIANCE YOU ARE SEEING, AND I HAD A DOCTOR WORKING ON THAT, IS LOOKING AT THE VARIANCE TO SEE WHAT IT IS PICK THE VACCINES WE CURRENTLY HAVE WITH THE VARIANCE THAT HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED HAVE NOT CHANGE. WHAT WERE TRYING TO DO IS MIMIC THE SPIKE PROTEIN. THE VACCINES WE HAVE NOW SHOULD WORK. SO AS OF RIGHT NOW, IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE WE WILL PLAY A CHASE CAME WITH THE VACCINE.

BUT, I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED. WITH THE FLU THEY DEVELOP WHAT WAS PROMINENT LAST YEAR SO IT IS ALWAYS TBD.

-- IT IS 5:15 P.M. LET'S GO THROUGH THE APPROVAL OF

[APPROVAL OF MINUTES]

MINUTES. >> MOVE FOR APPROVAL.

>> WE DO HAVE A MISTAKE ON THE NEXT TO LAST PAGE.

THE GENTLEMAN TALKING WAS MORAL. >> I WILL MAKE MY MOTION TO APPROVE WITH THE CHANGE. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ANY APOSTLES. LET'S MOVE TO PUBLIC COMMENTS.

[PUBLIC COMMENTS]

>> GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS VIVIAN.

IT'S INTERESTING TO HEAR MR. WALLACE TALKING ABOUT DEVELOPMENT AND PARTNERSHIPS. I WAS AT THE GOVERNING BOARD MEETING THIS MORNING AND THEY APPROVED A $1.2 MILLION CONTRACT FOR WATER QUALITY AND SYSTEM DESIGN FOR THE BLACK CREEK WATER DEVELOPMENT PROJECT. EXPECTATIONS ARE SHOVELS WILL BE IN THE GROUND THIS SUMMER. IT SAYS RECOVERY IS ON THE WAY.

WHAT'S INTERESTING TO ME, THIS IS JUST MY INTERPRETATION I'VE BEEN HERE A LOT OF YEARS. THERE ARE FOUR AREAS, WHICH STARTED AS A BEDROOM COMMUNITY AND SUPPORTED BY VARIOUS BUSINESSES AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

THIS IS YOUR GOVERNMENT AND MIDDLEBURG IS AGRICULTURE.

ALL OF THOSE AREAS HAVE BEEN SUPPORTED OVER THE YEARS AND HAVE GROWN. KEYSTONE HEIGHTS WAS DEVELOPED AS A TOURIST AREA. THAT AREA HAS NOW DECLINED

[01:15:02]

NOW THE DRIED-UP LITTLE COMMUNITY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME A TOURISM MECCA I DON'T WANT TO USE THE WORD MACRO BECAUSE THAT SOUNDS LARGE. SO WE ARE IN THE PROCESS AND WE SPENT DECADES BRINGING ABOUT RECOVERY.

NOW THAT IT IS COMING, WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING HIGHER.

WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS TO GET PARTNERSHIPS.

WE WILL BE PARTNERING WITH THE COUNTY.

I WILL COME TO YOU AND HOPE TO BE ON THE AGENDA IN FEBRUARY.

WE WILL BE PARTNERING WITH THE CITY.

THE BUSINESSES AND AGENCIES, WE WILL BE COMING TOGETHER AS PARTNERS. WE DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO US WE WANT TO MAKE IT TO HAPPEN -- TRACK YOU WANT TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. I LOOK FORWARD TO TALKING TO YOU, WE ARE ACTUALLY FORMING OUR BOARD RIGHT NOW AND DEVELOPING OUR LEADERSHIP. WE WILL BE TALKING TO YOU IN THE

NEXT FEW MONTHS. >> THANK YOU.

>> I APPRECIATE THAT. >> ANYONE ELSE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? ARE YOU PUBLIC COMMENT OR JUST

SITTING. >> OKAY.

SO, IF THAT IS THE CASE WE WILL CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT.

[27.  5:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter can be heard: Resolution to Provide for a True-Up for All Funds Other than CIP]

FUNDS. >> DID YOU GET THAT? D'ANGELO I AM THE BUDGET MANAGER.

THIS ITEM LOOKS AT EACH OF THE OPERATING FUNDS AND CARRIES THE AMOUNT. THESE ARE THE BALANCE SHEETS.

THE DIFFERENCES USED TO ADJUST THE BUDGET TO REFLECT CASH AND THE INCREASES PUT INTO RESERVES FOR A BALANCE OR SOME WILL BE USED TO FUND THE BUDGET REQUEST OR CARRYOVER.

THIS ALSO PUTS INTO PLACE FUNDS FOR THE BUDGET DEPARTMENT.

AND COMMENTS DESCRIBING THE ACTION AND THE FUND NAME.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS SINCE WE REVIEWED THE MATERIALS?

>> DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

>> WE ARE GOOD. >> ANYTHING ELSE YOU NEED TO

BRING TO OUR ATTENTION? >> NO CHANGES.

>> WE NEED TO VOTE TO APPROVE THAT.

SO, IF WE CAN GET A MOTION. >> MOVED TO APPROVAL.

>> WE HAVE A SECOND PERIOD. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION?

>> AM IN FAVOR SAY AYE. >> OF MOTION CARRIES.

[28.  5:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter can be heard: Ordinance and Resolution to Amend the Capital Improvement Program]

NUMBER 28. >> BEFORE HE STARTS ON NUMBER 28. WE WILL NOT BE CONSIDERING THE ORDINANCE THAT IS PART OF ITEM 28 SO THERE IS NO PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED THAT WILL BE BROUGHT BACK.

SO YOU ARE JUST ENTERTAINING THE RESOLUTION.

>> GO AHEAD. >> THIS PERTAINS TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THESE ARE TWO REVENUE INCREASES RELATED TO THE PREVIOUS ITEM DEVELOP FROM THE FUND BALANCE.

THERE ARE SIX CAPITAL PROJECTS INCLUDING PUTTING IN PLACE THE BUDGET FOR THE DEPARTMENT AND 911 BUILDINGS.

SO THERE HAVE BEEN NO CHANGES. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS LET ME

KNOW. >> ANY QUESTIONS?

>> OKAY. SO, COURTNEY, WE HAVE TO VOLUNTEER OR DO WE VOTE FOR JUST THE RESOLUTION.

>> I WILL SECOND PERIOD. >> I.E. MOTION AND A SECOND, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ANY OPPOSED. IT CARRIES 5-0.

[29.  5:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as can be heard: Notice of Intent and Award of Bid #20/21-4, Preventative Generator Maintenance and Award of TAW Power Systems, Inc. Agreement]

[01:20:07]

>> WE WILL MOVE TO NUMBER 29. THIS IS THE PREVENTATIVE

GENERATOR MAINTENANCE AND AWARD. >> THIS ITEM WAS PRESENTED FOR THE TA W POWER SYSTEMS. IT IS PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND LABOR AND PARTS FOR REPAIRS AS NEEDED.

WITH THIS ITEM WE ARE ASKING FOR APPROVAL OF THE BID AWARD AND APPROVAL OF THE CONTRACT. THE TERM IS FOR THREE YEARS WITH AN ANNUAL RATE BEING 42,000648 THAT YOU MENTION.

AT THE MEETING LAST WEEK THERE WAS A REQUEST THAT WE INVITE THE REPRESENTATIVES TO BE HERE TODAY.

WE DO HAVE TWO REPRESENTATIVES, THAT ARE HERE, IS NOT NECESSARILY A PRESENTATION. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS I WOULD LIKE FOR THEM TO HEAR THEM TODAY.

>> COMMISSIONER, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

>> MY QUESTION REVOLVED AROUND THE QUARTERLY MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENT OF A GENERATOR BEING EQUAL TO ANOTHER GENERATOR.

SO, THE QUANTITY IS DIFFERENT. I REALIZED MOBILIZATION CAUSE.

BUT TELL ME WHAT IT COST THE SAME?

>> AS FAR AS THE MINOR P.M., IT IS MORE OF A VISUAL WHERE WE CHANGE THE FLUID SPIRIT YOU WILL SEE A PRICE DIFFERENCE BECAUSE THE BIGGER GENERATORS TAKE MORE FILTERS, TAKE MORE OIL.

BUT WE ARE DOING THE SAME THING. GRANTED THEY ARE LARGER BUT AS FAR AS THE PAPERWORK GOES AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

>> WERE SAYING ON THE QUARTERLY, IT IS A VISUAL INSPECTION?

>> WE CHECK THE FLUIDS AND DO TESTING ON THE BATTERIES.

BUT, ON THE MAJORS, THAT IS WHERE WE DO THE CHANGE.

SO THE QUARTERLY, THERE ARE THREE MINOR AND ONE MAJOR.

SO LIKE I SAID, IT IS MORE OF A VISUAL INSPECTION.

WE ARE ACTUALLY CHECKING THE OIL AND THE COOLANT AND THE BATTERY.

>> ONE OF THE OTHER QUESTIONS I HAD, IN THE TESTING REGIMEN, WE IS THERE ONE ON EACH ONE CLICK STANCH I HAVE NOT VISITED EACH

ONE. >> IF YOU LOOK TODAY, WE ARE AT 50 DEGREES. THE IDEA OF A BLOCK HEATER IS FOR LONG JEOPARDY. SO A BLOCK HEATER AS A BUILT-IN THERMOSTAT. IT KEEPS THE ENGINE AT 80 DEGREES TO 100 DEGREES. THIS CAN CARRY A BUILDING LOAD IMMEDIATELY. SO IT NEEDS TO BE READY IN A MOMENTS NOTICE. IT IS LIKE JUMPING IN YOUR CAR WHEN IT IS COLD. YOU WANT TO LET IT WARM UP.

THIS BLOCK HEATER KEEPS IT AND THAT HELPS WITH THE LIFE.

>> THE LAST QUESTION, THE OPERATIONAL TEST.

FOUR HOUS, I WANTED TO KNOW, WHAT DO YOU DO DO YOU RUN IT INTO A DUMMY LOAD? AND IS FOUR HOURS REQUIRED?

THAT IS A LONG TIME. >> WE DO A LOT OF THAT.

THE TEST IS SOMETHING THAT IS PART OF THE BID AND THAT IS WHY WE DO IT. THAT IS NORMAL.

WE DO HAVE A HEATING ELEMENT AND A MACHINE THAT IS LIKE A TOASTER AND HAIRDRYER. IT SIMULATES A LOAD.

THAT IS HOW WE GET TO THE ONE 100%.

THESE GENERATORS USUALLY RUN 30%.

THAT IS HOW WE GET THERE AS REQUIRED.

>> SO YOUR DUMMY LOAD IS. >> ONE MONTH AGO I HAD A

[01:25:06]

AND ONE ON THE INTERNET AND I FOUND A 3-DOLLAR PART AND PUT IT IN THERE. SO, I DIDN'T IDENTIFY MYSELF AS A COUNTY COMMISSIONER. AT THE SAME TIME, I WOULD SUGGEST WE KEEP AN EYE ON IT TO MAKE SURE THEY DO THE JOB.

>> THIS IS 100 YEARS. WE'VE BEEN NEAR THE SONG FOR A

REASON. >> I COULD NOT RESIST THAT.

>> I THINK HE IS THINKING RIGHT NOW YOU SHOULD LOSE HIS NUMBER.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? GENERATOR THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED?

>> I THINK THAT IS IT. GENTLEMEN, THANK YOU, WE APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS APPEAR TO HAVE A MOTION.

AND IF YOU DO MAKE A MOTION, WE ARE APPROVING THE BID ON THE

CONTRACT.% >> I APPROVE THE BID TO APPROVE

THE CONTRACT. >> DO WE HAVE ANY SECONDS ERIC.

>> HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. AY DISCUSSION.

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. WE MOVED TO NUMBER 30.

[30.  5:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as can be heard - Public Hearing on the adoption of an ordinance amending Clay County Ordinance No. 2018-23, which is codified as Chapter 7.3 of the Clay County Code, Entitled "Emergency Medical Transporation Services", by Amending Sec. 7.3-6 (4) and (5) of the Ordinance and Sec. 7.3-6 (d) and (e) of the Code to replace "Finance" with "OMB"]

CODE. >> IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSFER OF CERTAIN DUTIES TO THE CLERK'S OFFICE, WE NEEDED TO REVISE THE ORDINANCE BECAUSE IT REFERS TO AS PART OF THE APPLICATION REVIEW PROCESS WHO THE APPLICATION REVIEW BEING DONE BY THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT, THE COUNTY'S FINANCE DEPARTMENT.

AND AT THE TIME IT WAS CONTEMPLATED IT WOULD BE DONE BY THE COUNTY. THE CHANGE FOR THE ORDINANCE IS TO CHANGE'S THE SECTION WHERE IT REFERENCED THE FINANCE DIRECTOR.

>> THAT IS REALLY THE ONLY CHANGE.

>> ANY QUESTIONS? >> I RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ORDINANCE. TENSILE WE HAVE TO GO PUBLIC HEARING FIRST. ANYONE HAVE ANY THINK THEY WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IN REGARDS TO THIS SPECIFIC ORDINANCE?

I SEE NONE SO WE WILL CLOSE. >> I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE

APPROVE THE ORDINANCE. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND THE MOTION CARRIES 5-0. WE ARE DONE.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

>> IN CONNECTION WITH THE CONSENT AGENDA WE HAVE A NOTIFICATION FROM THE CLERK'S OFFICE THAT, IN CONNECTION WITH

[13.  Finance Business]

IT ACTUALLY NEEDS TO BE REFLECTED THAT THE RUN WAS NOT DONE UNTIL JANUARY 12. THEY SENT THAT NOTICE OVER A FEW HOURS AGO. DO THEY PLAN TO RUN IN ON THE EIGHTH AND THEY RENTED TODAY. THE FINANCE OFFICER WILL SPEAK.

>> THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED. WE RUN EVERY AND WE WERE ON SCHEDULE. TWO DAYS PRIOR TO THAT, WE FOUND OUT THE SYSTEM WILL NOT KEEP THE ACCUMULATORS UNTIL WE RUN THE 1090 NINES. WE HAVE TO CURATE THE FILE FIRST. WE COULD NOT CREATE ANY CHECKS.

WE QUICKLY GOT ALL HANDS ON DECK.

GOT THE FILE AND EDITED THE INFORMATION.

[01:30:03]

THEIR CHECKS. >> SO, THIS WILL PREVENT ANY SIMILAR SITUATION. WE HAVE BEEN NOTED FOR NEXT YEAR. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DONE, PRIOR TO THE YEAR END TO GET THE VENDOR CODES CORRECT.

IT JUST DID NOT COME UP IN THE DISCUSSION.

IT IS ONCE PER YEAR END WE DID GET NOTICE BEFORE WE RAN CHECKS.

WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO DO A LOT OF MANUAL WORK.

>> DO WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE CONSENT AGENDA?

>> I WILL MOVE APPROVAL ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

>> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? I DON'T HEAR ANY I WILL CALL THE VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ANY OPPOSE? IT CARRIES 5-0.

WE WILL MOVE -- >> I HAVE A QUESTION.

WHERE ARE THE FINANCE DOCKETS. >> MR. CHAIR IF I MAY, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT THIS MORNING. THERE ARE THREE ITEMS. ONE IS THE SUMMARY SHEET THAT YOU SEE HERE.

THE OTHER IS A PACKET OF INVOICES THAT IS THERE.

THE THIRD IS, ABOUT A STACK OF THE SPREADSHEET.

I BELIEVE THE CLERK WILL MEET WITH EACH ONE OF YOU TO SEE WHAT THE OVERALL DESIRE IS ON THE BACKUP.

AND THE WAY IT WOULD BE TRANSMITTED TO YOU WHETHER PRINTED OUT OR PUT ONTO THE AGENDA, THE ISSUE IS IF YOU REMEMBER IN THE PAST WAS ADA CERTIFICATION WITH THE BACKUP DATA. BUT THAT IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION AND WHAT YOUR DESIRE IS ON IT.

>> HAS ANYONE ELSE LOOKED AT THAT STUFF.

I MEAN,, I SPOT CHECKED IT ONCE IN A WILD.

>> THE CLERK'S OFFICE SAID IF ANY COMMISSIONER HAD QUESTIONS OR IF THEY WANTED SPOT CHECKS THEY WERE STANDING BY TO ANSWER AND PROVIDE INFORMATION. I THINK IN ORDER TO DEVELOP THAT SHE WILL MEET WITH YOU INDIVIDUALLY TO SEE WHAT YOU

LIKE TO DO. >> MY PREFERENCE WOULD BE WHATEVER WE CAN DO THAT'S NOT GIVEN TO US ON THE DAY OF THE BOARD MEETING. MY AGENDA WAS SLAMMED AND I HURRIEDLY OPENED EVERY DOCUMENT AND GLANCED AT IT.

>> COME ON, YOU HAVE TO RISE TO THE OCCASION.

>> I WILL DO THAT, AND I WILL VOTE ON SOMETHING.

>> HOW MANY OF US HAVE MET WITH THE CLERK.

>> I MET WITH THE CLERK BUT THAT WAS NOT PART OF IT.

>> DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE AN AN ACTUAL APPOINTMENT SET UP?

>> OKAY. THEN WE NEED TO GET YOU AN

APPOINTMENT. >> I HAVE ONE.

>> MAYBE I MISUNDERSTOOD. MAYBE I DIDN'T COVER IT AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING I REALIZE I SAID YES TO.

>> I DON'T BELIEVE SO. I THINK IT WILL BE A DIFFERENT MEETING BUT IF IT'S IN A DIFFERENT MEETING IT CAN COME

UP. >> IF YOU HAVE THAT THOUGHT PROCESS, IT CAN BE AN AGENDA ITEM CLERK.

>> IS LIKE WATCHING WHAT VEHICLES WE HAVE AND DETERMINING

[15.  Legislative Priorities List]

WHICH ONES WE WILL THROW AWAY. >> LET'S MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER 15.

ONE WEEK AGO WE MET WITH THE STATE DELEGATION.

SENATOR BRADLEY AND GARRISON AND PAIN.

DURING THAT TIMEFRAME, WE ONLY WANTED A THREE MINUTE PRESENTATION. WE DID LIMIT IT TO STATE PROJECTS. SO, WE WILL TALK ABOUT MANY OF THE OTHER ITEMS THAT WERE ON THE LISTING.

>> OKAY. THIS IS AN UPDATED LIST.

WE DID DISCUSS IT LAST WEEK. FOLLOWING OUR LAST MEETING, WHEN JOE WAS HERE, WE WENT BACK AND UPDATED THE LIST TO INCLUDE ANY

[01:35:03]

THE LIST HAS STAYED PRETTY CONSISTENT FROM LAST YEAR.

THE ROAD TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS MIRROR THE PRIORITY LIST.

WE'VE ONLY ADDED A FEW NEW ITEMS. THE CHAIRMAN SAID HE DID A GREAT JOB PRESENTING LAST WEEK.

I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

>> THE CHAIRMAN DID NOT SAY HE DID A GREAT JOB BUT I APPRECIATE

YOU USING THAT. >> CAN I MAKE A SUGGESTION THAT WE KEEP THIS AS A LIVING ORGANISM AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE YEAR. IF THERE ARE ITEMS THE COMMISSIONER WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT WE CONTINUE TO UPDATE THIS WHETHER WE ARE ADDING OR SUBTRACTING.

DOES EVERYONE HAVE -- DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY THOUGHTS?

>> I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT.

I DO, AND I THINK I MENTIONED THIS.

I HAVE AN AVERSION TO A SIX PAGE DOCUMENT.

I WOULD LIKE US, GIVEN THE NEXT SESSION WILL BEGIN IN JANUARY, I MENTIONED THIS TO THE COUNTY MANAGER.

IT'S NO SURPRISE BUT, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US VISIT THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE THE MEETING STARTS IN SEPTEMBER, TWO -- ABOUT FIVE OF US SHOULD PICK WHAT OUR PRIORITIES ARE OFF OF THIS LIST. I WANT TO KEEP THE LIST OF EVERYONE'S PRIORITIES, AND THEN A 1-2 PAGE DOCUMENT THAT GOES TO THE DELEGATION OF WHAT OUR HIGHER PRIORITIES ARE OR THINGS WERE WILLING TO MATCH. I KNOW THE CITY DOES NOT.

IT'S A TWO PAGE DOCUMENT. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND I WILL SAY I'VE LED THE CHARGE WHEN I WAS ON THE SCHOOL BOARD TO GET THEIR SOUND. I THINK THEY HAVE STAYED WITH THAT, JUST AS A GO TO LIST THEY CAN PULL OUT OF THEIR BRIEFCASE IF THEY ARE SEEING A MEETING OR SOMEONE POPS UP IN THE HALLWAY, OBVIOUSLY NOT THIS YEAR, BUT IF SOMEONE POPS UP IN THE HALLWAY AND SAYS I HAVE THIS, CAN WE TRADE OR WHATEVER.

THAT WOULD BE MY PREFERENCE. >> TPO PUTS IT ON A POSTCARD.

YOU HAVE THE THREE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS AND THEN THREE

OTHER THINGS. >> I ALSO RECOMMEND WE TALK TO JJ HARRIS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IS REALLY WEAK.

UTI, I DID NOT KNOW WE LOST UTI AT THE STATE LEVEL.

THAT IS A BIG DEAL. WE SHOULD HAVE SENT THE MESSAGE TO TALLAHASSEE THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT REINVIGORATE AS WELL. IT'S THINGS LIKE THAT, WE JUST

NEED MORE TIME. >> IN THAT RESPECT, I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD WAIT UNTIL THE DOCUMENT IS PRESENTED OR WHENEVER WE HAVE THE PRIORITY MEANING.

THAT IS SOMETHING, IF WE FEEL STRONGLY WE SHOULD ADOPT AS A RESOLUTION AND SEND IT IMMEDIATELY.

I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD WAIT. IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT, WE SHOULD HAVE YOU TALK WITH THE COUNTY MANAGER, AND WE BRING IT UP ON THE BOARD FLOOR TO DISCUSS IT.

>> YOU HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT IT BEFORE IT'S AN ISSUE.

>> I FOUND OUT WHEN WE HAD THE MEETING.

>> AND JJ IS A PERSON ON CONTRACT TO US.

>> WHILE THE OTHER QUESTION WOULD BE IN REGARD TO PRIORITIES, WE TYPICALLY IN THE PAST, WE HAVE STAYED AWAY FROM IDENTIFYING OR DOUBLING UP ON ITEM.

BECAUSE, OTHERWISE WE WILL GO PAST ONE PAGE.

WE WANT THEM TO GET WHATEVER THEY ARE LOOKING FOR AND WE SUPPORT THAT. I GUESS WE WOULD HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO DO THAT, BECAUSE WE WOULD END UP WITH MORE THAN ONE PAGE OF ITEMS. WE CANNOT ADOPT EVERYTHING THEY ARE ADOPTING. SO, I DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM.

EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THE PREVIOUS THOUGHT PROCESS WAS TO GIVE THEM AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE.

IF YOU WANT TO GO WITH A MORE CONCENTRATED LOOK, I CAN GO WITH THAT. BUT I THINK IT WILL BE DIFFICULT

TO GET DOWN TO ONE PAGE. >> I THINK OUR OPPORTUNITIES

WILL BE DIMINISHED. >> WE ARE TRYING TO GIVE THEM A SHOPPING LIST. IF THE STARS ALIGN WE HAVE A

[01:40:05]

IMPORTANT THING OUT. >> I THINK IT WILL HAPPEN.

REPRESENTATIVE PAIN IS CLOSE TO THE NEXT SPEAKER.

I THINK HE WILL RISE IN LEADERSHIP.

THAT MAY BE THE TIME FOR THE STARS TO ALIGN ON THE COURT OR SPIRIT MAY BE LOOK AT OUR PRIORITIES AND WORKING ON THE

PROJECTS WE THINK HE COULD PUSH. >> THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS, ONE OF THE REASONS I PUT THE BROADBAND SUPPORT THERE.

I KNOW THAT IS ONE OF HIS PET PROJECTS.

AND HE'S LOOKING TO PUSH THEM. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE I GUESS THE QUESTION WOULD BE, IF WE ARE WORKING THIS WE SHOULD HOLD OFF ON DISCUSSION. MAYBE WE CAN EVERYONE CAN COME PREPARED THEN WE CAN PUSH IT DOWN.

AT LEAST WE WILL HAVE A SHORTER LIST IF THEY CALL AND SAY, GIVE US SOMETHING THAT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE CAN SQUEEZE SOMETHING IN. THAT IS USUALLY THE WAY IT HAS WORKED FOR A LAST-MINUTE CALL AND HORSETRADING AND GIVE US TWO OR THREE THINGS THAT WILL WORK. DOES THAT SOUND LIKE WE ARE WORKING IT DOWN? SO WHEN WE GET DOWN TO THAT WORKSHOP WE CAN IDENTIFY SOME OF THE THINGS THAT SHOULD BE AT THE TOP OF THE LIST. MAYBE WE CAN TALK TO THEM AHEAD

OF TIME. >> JOE DID TALK TO THEM AND THAT IS WHY THE ONE TO MAKE THE MEETING GAVE AN INDICATION.

THERE'S NO RUSH THIS YEAR. WE KNOW WHAT THIS YEARS BUDGET WILL LOOK LIKE, BUT AS WE MOVE THROUGH, SPRING WILL BECOME SUMMER AND SUMMER WILL BECOME FALL.

IT'S HOT, AND WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT.

>> YOU MAY HAVE TO RUN FOR ELECTION.

>> FINDING OUT THE SEASONS GO. >> WE WILL DISCUSS MORE WHEN WE

GET TO THAT POINT. >> IF I CAN, THE CURRENT LIST AS PROVIDED, DO THEY FEEL WE STAND READY I THINK BRINGING IN THE MUNICIPALITIES, MAYBE TO A BOARD MEETING, AND ALSO HAVING JOE GIVE A BRIEF TO THE BOARD. THEN WE CAN FINE TUNE THE TOP THREE OR TEN, WHATEVER THE BOARD DESIRES.

WE WILL BE OFF TO THE RACES THEN.

WE WILL PUT OUT SOMETHING MID JUNE OR JULY TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN

AND COINCIDE WITH THE AGENDA. >> WE HAVE HAD 51% SOLD TO THE

[16.  CARES Act Update]

I WILL SAY YOUR INDIVIDUAL AND BUSINESS PROGRAMS WERE VALIDATED. WE KNOW THEY ARE CLEAR.

SO WE ARE GOOD ON INDIVIDUALS AND BUSINESSES.

THE REMAINDER WAS THE 21 MILLION.

THEY HAVE APPROVED 16 MILLION. OF THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED 60.3 MILLION IN THE ACTUAL BANK, CASH IN HAND.

[01:45:05]

POINT KNOW. >> ANY THOUGHTS AS TO WHERE WE ARE FOR RECEIVING THE REMAINDER OF THE FUNDS.

>> IT IS A SLOW PROCESS THEY HAVE TO VALIDATE EVERYTHING.

THE LAST WEEK THEY DID BETTER AND MOVE THINGS FASTER.

TAKE SOME OF THE STUFF WE HAVE EXPENDED.

WE HAVE NOT CUT THE CHECK OR WE JUST CUT THE CHECK THIS WEEK.

THAT IS ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS, WE HAVE TO PROVE WE SPENT THE MONEY. I THINK A LOT OF IT IS JUST THE PROCESSOR WE ARE WORKING THROUGH THE STATE.

I DON'T SEE ANY ISSUES BASED ON THE FEEDBACK WE HAVE RECEIVED.

[17.  CARES Act - Rental Assistance Agreement]

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM TROY?

>> NEXT LINE. >> SO, WE WERE NOTIFIED ON WEDNESDAY THERE IS PAIRS TO POINT OUT WHICH IS THE SECOND STIMULUS CHECK. PART OF IT WAS A RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. THE ANALYSIS DONE SINCE THE COUNTY SHOULD RECEIVE SIX AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS.

THE ONLY CATCH IS, YOU HAVE TO DECIDE AND SUBMIT THE APPLICATION BY TODAY AT MIDNIGHT.

ONCE YOU APPROVE THE PROGRAM, AND SUBMIT THE APPLICATION, WE WILL LEARN MORE. IT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THEY VOTED ON DECEMBER 28, WE HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION ON JANUARY 12.

THE ACTION ITEMS ARE TO APPROVE THE REQUEST AND THE DIGITAL SUBMISSION AND WE REQUEST THE COUNTY MANAGER CAN SIGN AND ANY SUPPLEMENT APPLICATIONS THAT COME BACK, MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE TURNAROUND TIME IF WE HAVE TO SIGN SOMETHING IN FOUR DAYS, CALLING A SPECIAL MEETING, THINGS LIKE THAT CAN BE LOGISTICAL. I AM OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS IF

YOU HAVE ANY. >> MAYBE, YOU CAN ILLUSTRATE, AND REVIEW FOR THE BOARD THE UTILITY ASSISTANCE.

>> SO, IT IS SIX AND HALF MILLION DOLLARS TIED TO RENTERS ONLY. AND OTHER THINGS.

THIS IS TARGETED TOWARDS PEOPLE RENTING AND THE NICE THING ABOUT THIS, THE LANDLORD CAN ASK FOR THE MONEY DIRECTLY AS LONG THEY HAVE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION. LANDOWNERS CAN HELP PEOPLE GET THEIR APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED. IT GOES BACKWARDS UP TO 12 MONTHS OR FEBRUARY OR MARCH. OR BACK RENT OR FEATURE IT.

THERE 815 MONTH WINDOW TOTAL. THIS IS ALSO APPLYING TO UTILITIES. THOSE ARE SOME OF THE DECISIONS WE WILL BRING BACK TO THE BOARD. I ONLY WANT TO ALLOW X NUMBER OF MONTHS. I DON'T WANT TO DO ANY ADVANCES.

I WANT TO CAP AT A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY.

YOU CAN HELP A FEW PEOPLE WITH A LOT OF MONEY THESE ARE YOUR

OPTIONS. >> SO, JUST FOR ROUGH NUMBERS, WE HAVE BEEN RUNNING THE NUMBERS.

YOU CAN GIVE EACH PERSON $6,000 SO THAT'S PROBABLY FOUR MONTHS OF RENT AND UTILITIES ON AVERAGE.

YOU CAN HELP 1,000 FAMILIES BUT WE KNOW THERE ARE MORE THAN 1,000 FAMILIES THAT NEED RENTAL ASSISTANCE.

SO, IT MAY BE WE ONLY WANT TO GIVE 3,000.

BUT I CAN ONLY HELP THEM WITH TWO MONTHS OF BACK RENT AND UTILITIES. THOSE ARE THE TOUGH QUESTIONS THE BOARD AND THE TEAM WILL BRING BACK TO YOU TO FORMULATE WHAT DECISIONS WILL LOOK LIKE. WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO VARIOUS PEOPLE IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. WE ARE TRYING TO HELP FORMULATE, WHAT ARE THE NUMBERS. HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED RENTAL ASSISTANCE. WE TALKED TO EDC.

WE REACHED OUT TO FIND OUT WHAT THE IMPACT LOOKS LIKE SO WE

COULD PREVENT -- PRESENT DATA. >> THE MAJOR DIFFERENCES WE ARE DEALING WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT RATHER THAN GOING THROUGH THE STATE. THE CUTOFF WAS 200,000 POPULATION. WE CAN ONLY ASSUME, SO, WE

[01:50:11]

CHANGE IT. >> THERE IS ALSO THE CONSULTANT WHO'S WORKING THROUGH THIS. THE PROVISION SAYS IF WE TAKE THE MONEY, AND WE DON'T LIKE IT, WE CAN TURN THAT MONEY BACK TO THE STATE AND THE STATE WOULD DECIDE HOW THEY WANT TO RUN THE PROGRAM. YOU DO HAVE THE OPTION TO DEFER.

IT JUST IS JUST HOW YOU WANT TO DO IT.

>> IS THERE ANY OTHER DOWNSIDE? >> NOPE, I DON'T KNOW THE DOWNSIDE. THIS WILL MAKE SURE WE WALK THE LINE PROPERLY. WE ARE DEVELOPING SOFTWARE TO HELP. I PERSONALLY DON'T SEE A DOWNSIDE. THE DOWNSIDE WOULD BE IF YOU DON'T TAKE THE MONEY, ARE YOU LEAVING YOUR CONSTITUENTS OUT

THERE? >> DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE QUESTIONS. I CANNOT IMAGINE TURNING THIS MONEY BACK OVER. WE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE IN NEED.

I HOPE THAT YOU ALL HAVE THE RIGHT, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY. BUT, I FOUND OUT BY CALLING.

I HOPE WE HAVE THE RIGHT ORGANIZATIONS TO CALL, TO GET THE RIGHT PEOPLE WHO ARE TRULY IN NEED.

THERE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WORKING SO HARD, TOO-3 JOBS JUST TO STAY ABOVE POVERTY LEVEL. I HOPE WE CAN FIND THE PEOPLE THEY DON'T GET A LOT OF ASSISTANCE.

I KNOW WE TRIED OUR HARDEST, BUT THERE WERE A LOT THAT GOT ASSISTANCE AND I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HELPED LARGE NUMBERS OF

PEOPLE. >> WE WANT TO HELP AS MANY AS WE

CAN. >> WE HAVE, WITH THE COUNTIES PERMISSION, WE HAVE HELP WITH FOOD PANTRIES.

SO, SHE WILL HAVE THOSE CONNECTIONS WITH THE BOARDS SHE SITTING ON DOING THAT KIND OF WORK.

THE OTHER SIDE IS, THERE IS A PROVISION THAT SAYS, YOU HAVE TO BE 80% OF THE INCOME. SO, IT IS TARGETED.

THERE WILL BE INCOME MOMENTS OF WHO CAN APPLY.

>> THAT IS GOOD TO KNOW. >> I THINK IT IS A NO-BRAINER.

THE TOUGHER PART WILL BE WHERE WE DRAW THE PERIMETERS TO HELP WHOEVER FITS INSIDE OF THE BOX. WE DO HAVE TIME TO THINK ABOUT THAT. I WOULD SAY MERCY SERVICES AND OTHERS WHO DEAL WITH THAT ALREADY MAY BE A PLACE TO LOOK.

THEY ARE ALREADY HELPING PEOPLE WITH MENTAL ASSISTANCE.

>> SOME PEOPLE WILL TRY TO DOUBLE DIP SO WE WILL HAVE TO

MONITOR FOR THAT. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR

COMMENTS? >> I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

>> I MOVE WE APPROVE ACCEPTING THE SIX AND HALF MILLION DOLLARS

BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. >> CAN I ASK THAT YOU INCLUDE THE ITEMS AND THE COUNTY MANAGER HAS AUTHORITY TO SIGN.

[01:55:04]

>> AND THE TWO ITEMS ON THE RECORDING.

>> ARE THEY GOOD WITH THAT. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE ANY OPEN HOLES, MOTION CARRIES 5-0.

>> WE HAVE ANOTHER ITEM ABOUT THE BUILDING BUT THAT IS ITEM

22. >> WE DON'T WANT TO BE OUT THERE DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT. WE WANT TO HELP AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE CAN. WITH CONSIDERATION.

IF YOU DO COME UP WITH THOUGHTS, PLEASE PASS THOSE ALONG SO TROY CAN FOLLOW UP. SO HE CAN HAVE RECOMMENDATIONS.

>> THANK YOU. >> NUMBER 18, THE COVID-19

UPDATE. >> ARE YOU HANDLING THAT?

>> I DID NOT LABEL IT. >> SO WE GO TO 19 WHICH IS THE

[19.  First Amendment to Non-Exclusive Perpetual Easement in favor of SJRWMD for Construction, Operation and Maintenance related to the Black Creek Water Resource Development Project]

RESOURCE PROJECT. >> THE PURPOSE OF THE AMENDMENT IS TO PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL EASEMENT NEAR THE ANIMAL CONTROL TO FACILITATE A PRIVATE PROGRAM THAT THE WATER PROGRAM OR DISTRICT IS IMPLEMENTING. IT IS IN ORDER TO FILTER THE WATER AND TEST THE PROCESS SO THEY CAN FILTER THE WATER OUT OF BLACK CREEK BEFORE THEY TRANSPORT IT DOWN.

THEY JUST NEEDED AN ADDITIONAL AREA.

WE HAVE CAME GIVING THEM AN EASEMENT AND THIS IS JUST TO FACILITATE THE PILOT PROGRAM. CAP THEIR BOARD MEETING TODAY, THE BOARD APPROVED THE PILOT PROGRAM AND AUTHORIZED THE ADDITIONAL MONEY FOR THE CONTRACTOR AND THEY JUST NEED

THE EASEMENT NEAR THE PROPERTY. >> I WILL SAY THIS IS FINAL.

IF YOU HAVE NOT HEARD, THE EPA WAS NOT OKAY TO CHANGE THE NATIONAL DESIGNATION OF BROOKLYN TO A DARK WATER LEAK.

SO THE ADDITION FROM BLACK CREEK WERE NOT GOING TO BE ALLOWED.

THEY WERE NOT GOING TO GIRL -- MICHAEL IN BROOKLYN BUT IT WOULD HAVE CHANGED. AND, IT WAS PRETTY DARK.

IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN A LONG TIME BUT ENVIRONMENTALLY, THE EPA, ALLEGEDLY THEY GOT COVID AND EVERYTHING STOPPED.

BUT THEY CAME BACK AND SAID THEY WERE NOT OKAY.

THIS IS THE SOLUTION. IT WILL NOT BE MONITORED.

BUT THEY NEED TO TRY THIS. THIS IS THE PROJECT SHE SPOKE OF EARLIER. WE ASK YOU TO PLEASE APPROVE IT.

>> THAT IS WHAT THE PROJECT WAS TO START WITH.

THEY DECIDED THEY WOULD PUT THE WATER DIRECTLY INTO THE LAKE.

>> SO, THIS GOES BACK TO WHAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY.

AND THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

IF WE HAVE A MOTION. >> WE HAVE APPROVAL.

>> SECOND PERIOD. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSIONS?

THE MOTION CARRIES 5-0. >> THIS IS THE WITHDRAWAL, THIS

[02:00:03]

WE HAD AN ON-SITE MEETING AT THE GUN RANGE PROPERTY.

WE HAD SOME PRODUCTIVE MEETINGS WHERE WE TALKED ABOUT TIMELINE USE. THEIR APPROACH TO THE CONCEPT THAT THEY PROPOSE. FOLLOWING THE MEETINGS, AS YOU SEE, ALAN SUBMITTED AN E-MAIL ASKING FOR APPROVAL TO WITHDRAW HIS PROPOSAL, WITH THAT, THEY WERE HAPPY TO HEAR THE COUNTY HAD FUNDING FOR THE PHASE WON OF THE CONSTRUCTION.

THAT WAS PART OF THEIR DECISION TO WITHDRAW THEIR PROPOSAL.

THEY DID SHARE THEY WERE INTERESTED IN FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES. IF WE DECIDE, MAYBE SOME RENTAL OPPORTUNITIES DOWN THE ROAD. WE HELD A LOT OF GOOD MEETINGS.

A LOCAL COMPANY AND KEYSTONE. WE LOOK FORWARD TO ANY OTHER

OPPORTUNITIES. >> THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS?

>> I HAVE A QUESTION. WHY DO WE HAVE TO PROVE IT?

>> WE HAVE TO TAKE ACTION. >> THIS WAS AN OFFICIAL BIDDING

PROCESS. >> WE ARE NOT REJECTING THEIR BID. IT IS JUST ACCEPTING THEIR

WITHDRAWAL LETTER. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

DO WE HAVE A MOTION? >> MOVE FOR APPROVAL.

SECOND PERIOD. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND PERIOD ALL IN FAVOR PLEASE SAY AYE.

[21.  Northeast Florida Multipurpose Youth Sports Complex Location]

>> 21 IS THE SPORTS COMPLEX AND THE LOCATION WE ARE EXAMINING FOR SUCH A FACILITY. TONY ARE YOU HANDLING THIS?

>> I AM. >> I AM YOUR FRIENDLY PROGRAM MANAGER. I AM SURE WE READ THE BACKUPS AND I KNOW WE HAD A DECISION BUT WE HAVE COME TO A CONCLUSION THIS WILL BE A FOCUS ON THE STAFF BASED ON THE CHOICES I PRESENTED TODAY. IT IS DOWN AND DIRTY.

IT FALLS INTO THIS CONSENSUS. AS I WENT THROUGH MY RESEARCH, THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE. JUST THE MINIMUM CRITERIA IN A SNAPSHOT OF THE AREA. THE MINIMUM CRITERIA IS COMPLETE AS YOU CAN SEE LISTED THERE IS THE REQUIREMENT.

>> I WILL GO INTO THAT SHORTLY. >> NEXT.

TAKE 1ST AND FOREMOST WE WILL GO WITH THE SITE LOCATION.

THIS IS THE AIRPORT. HERE IS THE PLOT.

WHEN A 27 ACRES. NO CALLS TRANSFER WITH CAVEATS.

I WILL GET INTO THAT. THIS IS A SPACE ANALYSIS THIS IS A LOCAL GROUP. IT IS CLOSE TO PRE-EXISTING FACILITIES. EVENTUALLY, IT WILL BE IN PROXIMITY TO THE EXPRESSWAY. IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SENSIBILITY. WITH THE GRANT THAT COMES FROM THE CITY, THERE WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL $3.2 MILLION.

THERE ARE CAVEATS AND I WILL TALK ABOUT THAT.

>> THIS IS PRETTY LENGTHY. BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS, IT WILL BE PRETTY INTENSE. AN INTENSE STUDY OF THE LAND.

[02:05:03]

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE ON HOW HARD IT IS TO DESIGNATE BUT IT IS DIFFICULT. 115 ACRES IN TOTAL.

THERE WILL ALSO BE AN APPROVAL PROCESS WITH THE WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. I RAN INTO IT MYSELF.

THIS WILL BE A BIG? THIS WILL BE AT THE BOTTOM AND IT INCLUDES A POOL. JUST FOR AWARENESS.

THIS WORKED LIKE THE LARGER EPA SITUATION.

IF WE CAN'T SHIFT WITHIN THE PROPERTY, YOU HAVE TO PAY YOUR MITIGATION COSTS TO THE FLORIDA MITIGATION BANK.

ADDITIONALLY, BECAUSE IT IS NEXT TO POPULATED AREAS THERE MAY BE SITUATIONS IN WHAT WE CAN AND CAN'T DO.

WE DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL INTERRUPT THE FLOW OF THE PROPERTY OR THE INFRASTRUCTURE. WE ARE LIMITED IN THAT REGARD.

OVERALL, BASED ON THE ANALYSIS, TO PUT IT BLUNTLY, THIS WILL LENGTHEN THE TIME FOR CONSTRUCTION AND DRIVE COSTS UP TO THE BUDGET. THIS WILL BE SEEN FOR A LONG TIME. THE NEXT CHOICE BASED ON THE SNAPSHOT IS THE PROPERTY HAD TO BE NAMED.

THERE IS CONTEMPT LANDING. YOU KNOW, WE PUT THE GUN RANGE OF THEIR TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE WILL BE IN RELATION TO THE GUN RANGE. YOU CAN SEE DISHES THEIR PROPERTIES 207 ACRES. THE ACQUISITION OVERSIGHT IS BEING DRIVEN BY THE LAND TRUST. THOSE LANDS AROUND THEIR WILL HAVE MINIMAL DEVELOPMENT. YOU CAN WAY THAT OUT, BASED ON THE POTENTIAL PARK IN THE AREA. THE PREPONDERANCE IS HERE.

THE WAY I LOOK AT IT. BASED ON THE MATURITY OF THE TREES, WE MAY NOT HAVE TO DO THAT.

THIS IS LIMITED. THIS IS LIMITED TO THE COUNTY.

THIS IS CENTRALIZED. IF YOU PULL IT OUT ON THE MAP YOU KNOW IT IS MINIMAL IMPACT TO THE REGION AS A WHOLE.

BUT THIS IS CENTRAL TO THE COUNTY.

SO THE PEOPLE CAN GET TO THE AREA.

THE LAND IS UNINTERRUPTED AND I DROVE THE LAND MYSELF.

THERE IS MINIMAL INTERFERENCE BY ANY PRE-EXISTING STRUCTURES.

UTILITIES ARE TO THE EAST. THEY ARE OUT OF THE SCOPE OF THE LAND PLOT ITSELF. ULTIMATELY WE DETERMINED FROM A PRAGMATIC POINT OF VIEW. ALTHOUGH WE WILL TAKE A HIT ON

[02:10:01]

IT IS A PURCHASE. THE PURCHASE WILL NOT EXCEED $500,000. WHEN YOU DO THE BUDGET INTERNALLY, YOU CAN, BALANCE THAT AGAINST THE FUTURE OF THE PARK. THERE ARE 22 ACRES.

THERE IS NO UTILITIES IN THE AREA.

WE WORK FROM THE GROUND UP TO TIE THAT INTO THE LOCAL GRID.

WE ARE ALSO DONE MOST OF THE LEGWORK OF TO MAKE SURE THE RELATIONSHIP IS MUTUAL. IT WILL BE THERE, BUT IT WILL BE

SEVERE. >> BEFORE YOU MOVE ON, AND THIS IS PART OF THE REASON YOUR DECISION AS TO BE DEFERRED.

ONE OF THE CONNECTIONS IS OBVIOUSLY DEPENDENT ON BOTH LAND TRUST MOVING FORWARD WITH THE ACQUISITION OF THE AREA.

THEY ARE TAKING IT TO THEIR BOARD -- THEY ARE ACTUALLY TAKING IT TO THEIR PROPERTY COMMITTEE TOMORRW.

>> IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TODAY. IF THEY MOVE IT FORWARD, THEN IT WILL BE TAKEN TO THEIR BOARD THE NEXT WEEK AND WE COULD NOT MOVE AHEAD WITHOUT THE LAND TRUST BEING PART OF IT.

>> THIS IS PART OF A BIGGER PROJECT.

THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF PUTTING TOGETHER, WHICH HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS, A DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL THAT WILL GOVERN THE COMMUNITY FOR THE WHOLE ACRES. UNTIL THAT PROCESS MOVES THROUGH, THE LAND WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR THE LAND TRUST SO THAT WOULD BE A CON. SO IT'S JUST THE TIMING ISSUE.

>> I WAS -- WHEN WE WERE GOING THROUGH THIS, IT TURNED FROM A FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT TO A LAND USE ANALYSIS.

WHETHER THE IF YOU FRAME IT THIS WAY WE CAN TAKE IT OUT DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR TONY?

>> I WILL SEE IF ANYONE HAS ANY BEFORE WE GET STARTED.

SO, MAYBE WE CAN GET INVOLVED AND PUT ANOTHER BIKE TRAIL AND

THERE. >> WE HAVE TWO AVIATORS ON EITHER SIDE OF ME.

THAT'S WHY WE SENT YOU TO GET THE DIRT.

[02:15:01]

>> WHERE WAS I. SO, ARE WE SURE COURTNEY, ABOUT THE MCT AND THE DEMANDS IN TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT THEY MADE TO DO THE RECREATIONAL THINGS ON THE PARCEL.

>> I KNOW THAT MR. KENNEDY AT THE LATEST COMMUNICATIONS WITH THEM. WHEN I SPOKE TO THEM THEY SAID THAT IS SOMETHING WE WOULD HAVE TO NEGOTIATE WHETHER THEY WOULD% REQUIRE IT. AT THIS TIME THEY DID NOT HAVE A FULL BOARD AND, IT WOULD -- WE COULD GO AND SHE STRESSED THAT THE APPLICATION INCLUDED ALL OF THOSE.

>> I'VE LOOKED AT THE APPLICATION AND THE AGREEMENT AND IT SPECIFIED, THESE ARE MINUTE DETAILS.

WHILE IT SAYS THIS, THE AGREEMENT SAYS SWIMMING POOL.

SO, JUST AS THEY ARE, BUT THE REQUIREMENTS ARE ROBUST ENOUGH TO BE CONSIDERED DIFFERENT IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE.

IT WOULD BE UP FOR NEGOTIATION BUT HAVING SOMETHING IN WRITING,

THERE'S SOMETHING IN WRITING. >> IF WE DESIGNED IT SO WE COULD SAVE SOME OF THE AREAS AND GO WITH WETLANDS DO WE GET CREDIT FOR THAT, OR DOES THAT NOT MATTER.

>> WE WOULD HAVE TO OFFSET THIS SPIRIT.

>> WE BUY MITIGATION CREDITS SOMEWHERE ELSE.

IF WE DECIDE, WE WILL DEVELOP WETLANDS.

>> OR SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE STATE, SO IT MAY NOT EVEN APPLY TO CLAY COUNTY. IF WE WERE TO CONTRIBUTE TO

THAT. >> AND MR. CHAIR, IT IS THE AMOUNT OF ENCROACHMENT ON THE WETLANDS THAT YOU WOULD NEED TO DO. EVEN THOUGH YOU FENCED OFF THE ACRES THAT WERE THERE, WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO THE POINT WOULD BE THE MITIGATION. ONE OF THE COMMENT, STEPHEN, STEVE AND I SPOKE AND YESTERDAY ON THE PROJECT LOOKING AT THINGS. HE HAD SOME VIABLE INFORMATION, THEY ARE VERY RESISTANT TO GO IN REVERSE, IF I USE THE ANALOGY THE RIGHT WAY. IF YOU DO WANT TO GO INTO REVERSE OR REMOVE ITEMS OFF OF THE LIST, YOU CAN NEGOTIATE FOR THE MONEY. I DON'T KNOW IF THE BOARD

UNDERSTANDS. >> SO, JUST TO COMMENTS TO ADD.

>> WE WILL BE GLAD TO NEGOTIATE ABOUT THE SWIMMING POOL BUT IT WILL COST YOU X BECAUSE YOU ARE BUYING THE RIGHTS TO THE PROPERTY. CAN YOU TELL THEM, WE WILL GET

TO THAT. >> CAN YOU SAY THAT OR NOT?

>> YOU CAN, BUT THAT IS WHERE IT BECOMES TRICKY.

IN THE HOLE PURCHASE IT WAS MORE THAN THE ACRES.

THERE'S ANOTHER PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT IS SCATTERED CORNER. WE TALKED ABOUT THAT TOO.

GOOD USE OF FARM THAT AND SAY EVERYTHING WILL GO TO THE OTHER SPOT. I DON'T KNOW.

IT WOULD BE THE BOARD'S DESIRE. >>

>> IT ALMOST SEEMS, WE TALKED ABOUT IT, IT SEEMS LIKE, THEY DO NOT WANT YOU TO DEVELOP IT. THERE IS GOOD PROPERTY THERE.

THIS IS TO THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.

I ALSO SAY IF WE COULD DO SOMETHING THERE ON A JOINT PROJECT THAT WOULD BE NICE. IT IS A VERY NICE PIECE OF PROPERTY WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PROPERTY YOU CAN SEE THE AREAS HIGH END) ON THE WEST SIDE, YOU WOULD HAVE TO MITIGATE THIS PORTION EVEN THOUGH IT IS HIGH AND DRY THERE.

YOU CAN GET A FEELING OUT OF THAT.

[02:20:06]

>> USUALLY GETTING YOU OUT OF THE CREDIT SITUATION YOU JUST

SHIFT TO THE OTHER SIDE. >> SO FOR THE 1631 PROPERTY SPIRIT I HEARD UTILITIES WOULD BE A? BASED ON HAVING THAT BEING DEVELOPED AND THROWING THE PROPERTY AND AT THE SAME TIME. SO, AT THAT POINT, WE WOULDN'T HAVE AN IDEA AS TO WHEN THAT WOULD TRANSPIRE.

>> I THINK, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT UTILITIES, AND WHAT THE GRANT REQUIRES, PARKING LOT, FIELDS THAT THERE, A WALKING AREA, YOU COULD GET AWAY WITH LITTLE OR NO ELECTRICITY.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WATER AND SEWER.

WE COULD TAKE CARE OF THAT. AND THAT, WILL POWER THE.

YOU DO NEED SOME CONNECTION ALONG THE SPACE TO GET THE PUMP GOING. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, WHEN WE LOOKED AT IT. THERE WAS A REQUIREMENT TO HAVE LIGHTS. AND NO REQUIREMENTS FOR ANY BIG FACILITIES WITHIN THE GRANT. I THINK WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NEGOTIATION, WE ARE PARTNERS WITH THEM, I DON'T REMEMBER IF THE BOARD REMEMBERS, MARK EXPLAINED A LITTLE BIT OF THAT, AND WE KIND OF GET THIS TIMELINE THAT MAY BE IT MAY PUSH US TO THE RIGHT. WE ARE DOING THIS AS FAST AS POSSIBLE TO GET SHOVELS IN THE DIRT.

WE DO HAVE A TWO-YEAR PHYSICAL, IT IS THE STATE'S FISCAL.

SO WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

WE TALKED TO KAREN AND DEPENDING ON OUR TIMELINE, WE MAY HAVE TO ASK FOR AN EXTENSION. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO

PICK THE RIGHT SPOT. >> THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD WAS, I KNOW THE CAMP USES A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY FOR THEIR FLYOVERS, WHAT ABOUT IN TERMS OF WILL THAT BE A PROBLEM.

THE PILOTS WOULD BE BLINDED. WE HAD SPECIFIC DISCUSSIONS AND WE WOULD HAVE SOME HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS WHICH THERE WAS NO WAY WE COULD HAVE BUILDINGS OR LIGHTS THAT HIKE, SO WE WERE NOT WORRIED ABOUT THAT. THE REQUIREMENT IS THEY HAVE TO BE DOWNWARD FACING AND BASED ON THE HEIGHT OF OUR POLLS IT WAS

NOT GOING TO BE AN ISSUE. >> IS THAT 17 ALONGSIDE THEIR? 'S POWER LINE RUNNING THROUGH THEIR QUICK STANCH TO THE EAST.

>> I MEAN, A BIG POWER LINE. THE ISSUE WOULD BE TRYING TO

FIND IT. >> WE ARE NOT STUPID.

IF THERE IS POWER THERE, WE CAN DO IT.

>> YES, WE JUST HAVE TO PIPE IT IN.

>> THIS IS TO THE LEFT AND YOU CAN SEE THE DEVELOPMENT.

>> WHEREVER THERE IS A HIGHWAY, HOPEFULLY AN INTERNET CONDUIT.

>> AND SHE DID LOOK AT THE POWER PORTION.

THAT SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. >> WE CANNOT MAKE AN EASY DECISION TODAY. WE DON'T KNOW IF FLORIDA LAND TRUST WILL END UP WITH THE PROPERTY.

THAT IS A MUTE POINT. WE WILL POSTPONE ANY DISCUSSION.

>> THE PROPOSAL WOULD BE, WE WILL COME BACK AND TALK ABOUT AT THE NEXT BBC MEETING. WE SHOULD HAVE MORE INFORMATION.

COURTNEY WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT WITH REBECCA.

MAYBE WE CAN HAVE A DECISION AT THAT BOARD MEETING.

I WOULD LIKE TO GET THINGS GOING AND MOVING.

IF THERE ARE MORE DELAYS WE WILL BRIEF THE BOARD AND GIVE MORE

UPDATES. >> I LIKE THE LOCATION BECAUSE IT DOES HAVE, SOME THINGS THAT DON'T IDENTIFY EVERYTHING BUT LOOK AT THE GROUND AND THE DIRT AND WHAT YOU ARE DEALING WITH, IT MAKES ME NERVOUS ABOUT MITIGATING THE WETLANDS.

[02:25:06]

IT WAS PRETTY LOW. IT NEEDS TO BE FILLED.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS QUICK STANCH WOULD YOU LIKE TO COMMENT QUICK STANCH BY ALL MEANS.

>> HE WILL MAKE HIS WAY TO THE PODIUM TO ADDRESS THE BOARD.

>> YOU BROUGHT YOUR FAN CLUB WITH YOU.

>> CHRIS, I KNOW THEM ALL WELL. CONGRATULATIONS.

REMEMBER, YOU ARE KNOWN BY THE COMPANY YOU KEEP.

SHE IS IN BIG TROUBLE. >> THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. I HAVE A FEW THINGS TO MENTION.

WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE.

AS WE KNOW AND GET THE EXPRESSWAY AROUND, I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT. I DON'T THINK THE PROPERTY WOULD WORK. BUT LET ME PUT THIS ANOTHER WAY.

I'VE BEEN AND WILL SAY 35 YEARS. THERE ARE ONLY THREE IMPORTANT THINGS ABOUT REAL ESTATE. LOCATION, LOCATION.

THE REALITY IS THIS. IF WE ARE TRULY LOOKING INTO DOING SOMETHING AND SELLING WHAT WE ARE DEVELOPING, I KNOW YOU CAN BUY DIRT WHEREVER, AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU WANT SOMETHING THAT BRINGS PEOPLE IN. WE HAVE A LIFESTYLE TO SELL.

WE HAVE GREAT PEOPLE. WHEN PEOPLE COME IN THEY SAY THIS IS WONDERFUL. THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD ADD, YOU HAVE THREE MAJOR LANDOWNERS CLOSE TO THE ENTIRE BELTWAY.

NOW YOU HAVE THE NEW BUYER ON THE SOUTH END OF 16.

MY ONLY SUGGESTION IS, YOU MAY WANT TO RUN OUT THERE AND SEE.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO PAY, YOU HAVE THINGS LIKE UTILITIES, SOME OF THOSE THINGS ARE THERE. THEN YOU HAVE THE EXPRESSWAY.

WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT HAVING AN ECONOMIC INDICATOR, YOU WON'T GET A HOTEL FOR THE WEEKEND. NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.

THIS IS A WONDERFUL PLACE TO LIVE BUT THEY DON'T TRAVEL TO IOWA. IN REALITY, THIS IS CENTRAL.

BUT IT IS NOT CLOSE TO GETTING GROWTH AROUND THEIR WEATHERBY RESTAURANTS OR PLACES PEOPLE CAN GO IF THAT IS WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT GOING. THAT WILL BE SLOW.

EVEN A PLAN OF 4500 ACRES, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SARATOGA SPRINGS AND THE GOVERNORS PARK. THAT IS 12,000 HOMES.

THIS IS 20 YEARS WORTH OF DEVELOPMENT AS WELL.

FORGETTING THAT, IS TO DO THAT. I KNOW YOU ARE UNDER A TIMECLOCK BUT I GUARANTEE YOU, I THINK THE DEVELOPERS HAVING SOMETHING IS A GREAT THING. I AM ONE INTERCHANGE AWAY FROM WHAT WE CAN DO. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, WE WILL SUPPORT IT NO MATTER WHERE YOU PUT IT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT.

>> I THOUGHT THE GOVERNORS PARK HAD REQUIREMENTS FOR PARKS

WITHIN THE SUBDIVISION. >> WE TALKED AND THEY WERE WILLING TO OFFSET SOME OF THE COSTS BECAUSE YES, FOR THEM, THIS WAS A PIECE SOLD BY THE FAMILY BECAUSE THEY FELT THEY HAD REQUIREMENTS AND THEY WANTED TO DO THAT, THEY SOLD THE PARCEL AND THEY WOULD UTILIZE IT AS PART OF IT.

BUT OTHER GROUPS INTERESTED, PROBABLY PARTICULARLY IF THEY GET CREDIT FROM YAW AND THERE'S A PLAN PLAN THAT SAYS IF I GROW

[02:30:05]

AND MORE THAN ANYTHING, ANYTHING THE FAMILY DESIRES TO BUILD AS

WELL. >> THE PROPERTY THAT IS UP THERE

NOW. >> THAT ONE, WHY DID YOU DO

THIS. >> WHY DON'T YOU DEVELOP IT QUICK STANCH IT WAS KIND OF FUNNY.

I DON'T WANT TO THROW ANYONE UNDER THE BUS BUT DANIELLE SAID, WE SHOULD BE IN THE CITY. THERE WAS A PIECE OF PROPERTY WE OWNED IN THE COUNTY UNTIL FOUR YEARS AGO.

WE ANNEXED OUR OWN PART IN. HERE IS THE THING.

>> I WANT TO BE HONEST AND UPFRONT.

IF SOMEONE GAVE ME A PARK TOMORROW I WOULD NOT TAKE IT YOUR BECAUSE THE MAINTENANCE FOR A TOWN OF 8,000 PEOPLE, WE HAVE SO MANY PARKS. WE HAVE PLENTY OF PARKS TO SPEND OUR MONEY ON. TO PUT A PARK AND MAINTAIN AS A

CITY,. >> WHAT ABOUT THE GROWTH COMING IN. YOU WON'T BE AND 8,000 PERSON

CITY PRETTY SOON. >> LOOK AT THE BORDERS.

AS A CITY WE ARE BUILD OUT. CLOSE TO US, BUT GOVERNORS PARK.

POSSIBLY MORE. BUT WE DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF AREA TO EXPAND RESIDENTIALLY. BUT AROUND US, WE WANT TO BE A GOOD PARTNER. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT.

>> THANK YOU. >> I WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT.

YOU KNOW, WE HAD A WONDERFUL PRESENTATION FROM ANDRE EARLIER, ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. WE HAVE A TON OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS GOING INTO CLAY COUNTY.

I WOULD JUST ASK MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS TO BE COGNIZANT.

I THINK THE LAST TIME I ASKED THE QUESTION, IF I LISTEN CLOSELY, THERE ARE FOUR PARCELS LEFT IN CLAY COUNTY ZONE FOR INDUSTRIAL. TAKE ATTRACTING GOOD BUSINESSES THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO PUT INTO CONSIDERATION.

>> THANK YOU. >> WE ARE ON NUMBER 22.

[22.  Property purchase of 1845 Town Center Boulevard, Building 400, Building 500, and Building 600]

>> THIS IS THE PURCHASE OF TWO BUILDINGS FOR THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND ONE FOR THE, COMMAND CENTER.

>> OF MINE COMMUNICATION CENTER. SO, AS YOU KNOW WE HAVE A PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT. WE HAVE BEEN MOVING THROUGH THE DUE DILIGENCE. WE ARE IN THE FINAL STAGES.

WE HAVE A CLOSING PLAN FOR TOMORROW.

ONE OF THE LAST CONTINGENCIES WAS FOR THE SELLER TO SATISFY VARIOUS TENNANT OBLIGATIONS. WE HAVE WORKED THROUGH THAT FOR THE MOST PART FOR STAFF SATISFACTION.

WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IS PROPOSE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE CLOSING WITH HAVING A SEPARATE ESCROW AGREEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH A FEW TENANTS THAT ARE STILL WORKING TO FINALIZE THEIR MOVE OUT DATES TO WORK WITH HEATHER AND JOHN ON TIMING TO MOVE INTO THE BUILDING AND TO STILL CLOSE TOMORROW, SO THAT WE CAN GET GOING ON THE DESIGN FOR THE BUILD OUT AND THE SUBSEQUENT BUILDOUT. THAT WILL BE FOR TOMORROW.

IN CONNECTION WITH THAT WE ASK YOU AUTHORIZED HOWARD TO SIGN

[02:35:17]

THAT ON YOUR BEHALF. >> THAT IS OUR SECURITY THAT IF THEY ARE UNABLE TO WORK OUT ARRANGEMENTS, THIS SO IT WOULD

CREATE AN ISSUE FOR THE DESIGN. >> WE CAN CLOSE AND I WORRY ABOUT THE TENANTS AND NOT TAKE CARE OF THAT.

NOW WE ARE IN A POSITION WHERE WE STILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE TENANTS AND THEY WANT TO CLOSE ANYWAY.

>> THAT WAS THE ISSUE WHEN THEY WERE TRYING TO GET US TO MOVE FORWARD BEFORE WE HAD THE REIMBURSEMENTS.

>> THEY WANTED US TO CLOSE IN EARLY DECEMBER, BEFORE WE HAD

THE REIMBURSEMENT. >> WHAT IS OUR EXPOSURE, IF THE TENNANT, CANNOT MOVE OUT, WHO IS ON THE HOOK FOR KEEPING THEM THERE, WILL THE PROPERTY MANAGER STAND.

>> SO THE CHAMBER HAS REFUSED THE BUYOUT OR THE TERMINATION AND WHAT WE HAVE DONE, WE WILL MOVE FORWARD AND MAINTAIN THEIR LEASE AND WORK AROUND IT. I DON'T KNOW WHO'S IN THERE BUT

WHAT IS OUR EXPOSURE. >> SO, IF THEY REFUSE, WE GET THE ESCROW MONEY AND WE CONTINUE TO COLLECT THE RENT, THEN JOHN AND JEAN STEAM, WILL DESIGN AROUND MOVING AROUND THEIR LEASE. SO THERE IS VERY DETERMINATION DATES AND THAT'S WHAT WERE LOOKING AT.

SO, THE WORST CASE IS. THE WORST CASES SEPTEMBER 30.

>> THERE IS A TENNANT BUT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR NEW PLACE.

IF THEY STAY THERE, THEIR LEASE IS UNTIL 2023, BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT JOHN IS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT.

>> SO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT CAN WORK AROUND THIS.

>> THE ONE THAT IS THERE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 23, IS IN A DIFFERENT

BUILDING. >> WHAT ABOUT THE CHAMBER?

>> THEY CAN WORK AROUND. >> THE WORST CASE SCENARIO WE HOLD THE LEASE UNTIL, THE CURRENT OWNER OFFER THEM A BUYOUT. IF WE CLOSE ON IT, WE ASSUME THEIR LEASE, AND EITHER THEY GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEAVE OR WE

HOLD THE LEASE UNTIL 2022. >> HEALTH DEPARTMENT CAN STILL

FUNCTION. >> YES, WE WOULD BE SHORT SPACE BAR LONG-TERM, WE CAN WORK WITH THEM AND WORK AROUND THEM.

>> WE CAN PARK THREE AMBULANCES IN FRONT OF THEM.

>> I HAD OTHER IDEAS. >> THIS IS FRUSTRATING.

WE WAITED THIS LONG AND WE WILL PAY MONEY FOR BUILDINGS AND WE

CANNOT OCCUPY THEM. >> THE RENT IS ALMOST $5,000 PER MONTH. WE WILL COLLECT RENT UNTIL 2022.

>> IF WE CAN'T, WE WILL GET THE ESCROW AT THE END OF THE DAY.

>> HOW MUCH IS THE ESCROW? >> WE ARE STILL WORKING ON THE AGREEMENT. THE ISSUE IS, THEY ARE GETTING

[02:40:01]

>> CAN YOU EXPLAIN, WHAT THE CHAMBER IS OUTSIDE OF ESCROW.

WHY HAVE WE NOT BEEN GIVEN TAKNG ON THAT LEASE.ADDITION TO-

>> BECAUSE, WE DETERMINED THAT IN CONNECTION WITH THAT, WE WERE WILLING TO GO FORWARD BECAUSE THE CHAMBER REVEALS.

THEY HAVE GIVEN THEM VARIOUS OFFERS AND THE CHAMBER WOULD NOT RESPOND SO YOU HAD THE CHOICE UNDER THE AGREEMENT TO TERMINATE OR, WE JUST MOVE FORWARD. WE DECIDED WE ARE THE SPACES AND WE CAN DESIGN IT AND WORK AROUND THE SPACE AND STILL COLLECT

THEIR RENT. >> DID I NOT READ SOMETHING ON THE LAST VOTE OR DID WE NOT DECIDE THIS?

>> ON WHICH VOTE. >> DECIDING QUICK STANCH THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE PRESENTED WITH TODAY.

YOU CAN CHOOSE NOT TO TERMINATE. WE ARE SUGGESTING, WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE WE LIKE THE BUILDINGS DESPITE THE FACT, THE CHAMBER HAS CHOSEN NOT TO COMPLY.

AND WE ARE WILLING TO WORK AROUND THAT.

>> THIS WOULD BE ONLY OCCUPIED BY A SMALL AMOUNT.

FOR RIGHT NOW, WHAT WE NEED TO DO, WE CAN MOVE FORWARD, CONSTRUCTING THE BUILDING, EVEN TEMPORARILY MOVING AND THE MORE VULNERABLE ONES. OF COURSE WE WANT THAT BUT WE CAN WORK WITH IT NOW INSTEAD OF LOSING THE ENTIRE DEAL.

YOU STEP DOWN IN THE DIRT AND WE CAN BUILD THAT OUT.

THE CHAMBER SPACE IS ALREADY BUILT OUT.

>> SO ACTUALLY, HEATHER WILL MOVE INTO PART OF THE BUILDING.

>> WE WILL COLLECT $100,000 IN RENT AND THAT SHOULD PAY FOR ANY ADDITIONAL TWEAKING AFTER THEY MOVE UP.

THE OTHER THING, IF THEY ARE NOT MOVING OUT NOW, IF THEY FIND ANOTHER LOCATION WANT TO LEAVE EARLY THAT WILL BE A PROBLEM.

>> OKAY. >> THIS COULD WORK BOTH WAYS.

>> I LIKE THE IDEA THAT WE ARE COLLECTING $100,000 IN RENT BECAUSE WE CAN DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO IN THE SPACE.

>> I AGREE WITH YOUR STATEMENT. A LOT OF PEOPLE COME AND ASKED THE COMMISSION FOR FAVORS. WE ARE NOT GETTING THIS SO THE ANSWER IS NO. THE CHAMBER CAME AND PRESENTED AND YOU KNOW, IT IS ABOUT BEING A GOOD PARTNER.

>> I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT THAT'S THE REASON THEY'RE NOT MOVING OUT THAT'S NOT BEING A GOOD PARTNER.

>> IS NOT THE REASON. I THINK, THEY NEED TO HAVE, THEY MAY ABSTRACTLY PAY TO HAVE THE BUILDOUT, THEY NEED MONEY TO DO THE IS ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS.

>> LET'S GO AHEAD WITH THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT.

[02:45:08]

>> ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER DISCUSSIONS?

>> I AGREE. IT'S NOT THE IDEAL THINK WE WANTED BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE HAVE RENT COMING IN.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE HAVE TO MOVE.

FAVORITE TOPICS. >> AND THIS ONE IS A DOOZY.

>> A LIEN REDUCTION FROM TIMOTHY J FOR INVESTMENTS LLC FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1817 WESTON CIRCLE, ON NOVEMBER 282020, THEY ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT THE CLOSING DATE IS SET FOR JANUARY 31, A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THE PROPERTY, I HAVE A LIEN ENFORCED ON NOVEMBER 16, FOR A SWIMMING POOL THAT WAS NOT BEING MAINTAINED PROPERLY, THAT VIOLATION STILL EXISTS WITH A DAILY FINE OF $25. AS OF JANUARY 4, THE LIENS TOTAL $19,000. STAFF CALLS FOR $1,600 AS OF JANUARY 4. THEREFORE THE TOTAL AMOUNT IS $21,000. WESTMAN HAS REQUESTED A REDUCTION TO ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES ONLY PURSUANT TO THE CLAY COUNTY CODE. A PURCHASER OF PROPERTY, MAY UPON PRESENTATION OF A WRITTEN CONTRACT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE OF PROPERTY SUBMIT A REQUEST FOR REDUCTION OF THE LIEN DIRECTLY TO THE BOARD WITHOUT SEEKING A RECOMMENDATION.

THAT IS WHY I AM READING THIS BECAUSE THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN THE TYPICAL ONES I BRING TO YOUR.

UPON RECEIPT OF SUCH A REQUEST UNDER SECTION B, SECTION OF THE CODE, AUTHORIZES THE BOARD TO ENTER INTO A WRITTEN AGREEMENT TO A SPECIFIED AMOUNT DETERMINED IN THE DISCRETION OF THE BOARD, CONDITION UPON THE ABATEMENT OR VIOLATION OR REPEATED VIOLATION GIVING RISE TO THE LIEN. SOAP, ESSENTIALLY, YOU HAVE THE POWER. I WILL ADD IF THE PROPERTY, WHATEVER AGREEMENT YOU GO WITH IF YOU GO WITH ANYTHING, IF THE PROPERTY IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITHIN 45 DAYS OR PAYMENT IS NOT RECEIVED IN TEN DAYS AFTER NOTIFICATION OF THE COMPLIANCE, THEN THE LIEN WILL REMAIN IN PLACE AND CONTINUE.

>> LONG STORY SHORT, HUNDRED $25,000 AND BY WAY OF THE APPLICATION, HE IS ASKING FOR A LIEN REDUCTION.

IF HE BUYS THE PROPERTY AND CLEANS IT UP, $1,600.

>> SO, CYNTHIA AND DAVID STILL ON THE PROPERTY.

>> YES, SIR. AND THEY ARE SELLING IT FOR 200

30,000 DOLLARS? >> YES, SIR.

>> AND THEY HAVE HAD A LIEN ON THIS FOR OVER A YEAR END A HALF AND HAVE NOT TRIED TO FIX IT QUICK STANCH OVER TWO YEARS.

[02:55:02]

THE IDEA IS THE ORIGINAL PROPERTY OWNER HAS TO TAKE AND PAY ATTENTION TO US OR LOSE THE MONEY.

IF THIS GUY DOES NOT BUY IT, THEY WILL PAY THE DIFFERENCE.

OR THEY MAY PAY THE DIFFERENCE TO GET IT SOLD.

I DON'T HAVE ANY SYMPATHY AT ALL.

THIS IS A BLATANT STICK IT IN OUR EAR.

>> IN PREVIOUS CASES THAT WE HAVE SAT ON THE BOARD, PART OF IT IS BECAUSE, SOME OF THEM OWE MUCH MORE THAN WHAT THE HOUSES VALUED AT. THIS IS LESS THAN 10% OF WHAT THE HOUSES VALUED AT. THERE WOULD BE MONEY INVOLVED, THAT THEY COULD PAY TO SETTLE THE LIEN IF THEY DESIRE.

THERE IS NO SLIGHT ON HIM. HE'S A BUSINESSMAN WHO BUYS HOME AND WANTS TO FLIP THEM. HE IS TRYING TO DO THE BESTIE CAN WITH THIS BUT I UNDERSTAND YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS ON THIS.

>> FIRST OF ALL WHEN WE CALCULATE THE ADMINISTRATIVE COST, IS OUR TIME CONSIDERED AND THAT BECAUSE QUICK STANCH IT IS STAFF VISITS AND STAFF DOCUMENTATION.

>> MY QUESTION IS WHY NOT. >> THE BIGGEST PROBLEM I HAVE HAD, -- THE BIGGEST PROBLEM I'VE HAD IS COLD VIOLATIONS.

IF WE SIT HERE, AND JUST IGNORE THE LINES, I CAN SEE WHY PEOPLE DO NOT LISTEN TO US. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT TOTALLY.

I AM NOT IN AGREEMENT FOR LENIENCY.

LIKE COMMISSIONER BOLLA SAID THEY HAVE THUMB THEIR NOSE AT US

FOR YEARS. >> THEY ARE SAYING IF HE DOES NOT BUY IT THEY WILL LEAVE IT. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE% SAYING BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT SPEAKING TO US.

MR. K IS TRYING TO BUY THE PROPERTY.

HE IS SAYING, I WANT TO BUY THE PROPERTY BUT I DON'T WANT TO PAINT THE LIEN ATTACHED TO IT. SO, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE GOING ON, I DON'T KNOW THIS PART BUT WHAT I CAN TELL YOU, WE STILL HAVE A DAILY FINE OF $25. THAT MEANS THEY HAVE NOT FIXED IT OR THEY HAVE IT FIXED IT. I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM, I'VE DEALT WITH THIS AND OTHER COUNTIES.

MOST OF THE TIME THE CITY JUST WANTS THE PROBLEM CORRECTED.

THAT IS WHY I'M HERE. WE ARE HERE TO GET THE PROBLEM

CORRECTED. >> SO, YOU SAY THEY WERE STILL AT THE OTHER PROPERTY QUICK STANCH IS IT HOMESTEAD.

>> WE CAN FORGET THE HOMESTEAD AND FOR CLOSER.

>> THERE IS A SITUATION WHERE THE WIFE HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED.

I GET INTO A LOT OF PERSONAL STORIES.

I'M NOT HERE TO DO A SOB STORY. >> WE UNDERSTAND.

THIS IS A BUSINESS DECISION. WE HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH WHAT

YOU ARE TRYING TO DO. >> ONLY 5% GOES TO THIS SITUATION. WE HAVE NO POWER AT ALL TO

[03:00:01]

ATTENTION. >> THIS IS ONLY A PORTION OF

WHAT THE HOUSES WORK. >> I APPRECIATE YOU COMING HERE AND IT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE GONE OVER WELL IF THE SELLERS SET WITH YOU. BUT, AT ANY RATE THEY DID NOT.

ARE YOU AWARE OR CAN YOU DISCLOSE AND FEEL FREE TO TELL ME, IS THERE A MORTGAGE ON THE PROPERTY.

>> LET'S SAY WE ARE BUYING IT FOR 230.

THEY ARE NOT WALKING AWAY WITH A LOT OF MONEY.

ARE THEY WALKING AWAY WITH A CERTAIN AMOUNT QUICK STANCH I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T THINK SO.

>> THE CODE ENFORCEMENT SAYS, SWIMMING POOL NOT PROPERLY MAINTAINED, I ASSUME THAT MEANS FROGS OR A DANGER TO CHILDREN

CLIMBING THE FENCE. >> IS NOT A DANGER.

THERE IS OFFENSE. I BELIEVE THAT'S HOW THIS WHOLE THING STARTED. THERE WAS A DOWN FENCE AND THE GENTLEMAN, OVER THE. TRIED TO CORRECTED BUT HE DOES NOT HAVE THE WHEREWITHAL TO DO IT.

AND IT HAS FALLEN INTO DISREPAIR.

I WOULD ASK, THE COMMISSIONERS, $1,600 IF IT IS AGREEABLE.

I'M HERE BEFORE YOU SAYING WE WILL CORRECT THE ISSUE, IF WE CAN GET THIS DONE THIS TO IT. I KNOW YOU HAVE TO UPHOLD YOUR

AUTHORITY AS WELL. >> I GUESS MY FEELING IS, I KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT OF SOB STORIES BUT I AGREE WITH THE COMMISSIONERS, ON GIVING UP THE POWER.

>> MOST OF THE TIME THE BOARD IS FORGIVING AFTER SOMEONE CLEANS UP THE PROPERTY. SO WE WILL GO TO STAFF COSTS.

I KNOW FOR FACT THAT, NEITHER COUNTY ABSTRACT THE COUNTIES WILL FORGIVE AND HE HAS PROBABLY DONE BUSINESS IN MORE COUNTIES THAT I HAVE -- THAN I HAVE VISITED.

>> IT IS HOMESTEAD. >>

>> THEY WILL HAVE TO MAKE A DETERMINATION ON WHAT WILL

HAPPEN. >> WHETHER IT IS A VALID

HOMESTEAD REDEMPTION PERIOD. >> THEY RECOVERED A LOT.

>> I HAVE NO PROBLEM DISCUSSING THAT.

BUT THAT DOES NOT SOLVE HIS PROBLEM.

>> I ENTERED INTO THE CONTRACT% IN LATE NOVEMBER AND THEY WERE

LIVING THERE. >> ARE THEY AWARE YOU ARE HERE?

>> AND THEY STILL CHOSE NOT TO COME.

[03:05:01]

>> I DON'T KNOW. ISSUES?- YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD COME.

>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT I SHOULD SHARE.

I HAVE SEEN OF ON IN THIS BUSINESS.

FINANCIAL ISSUES. NOT INTENTIONALLY TRYING TO BE VAGUE BUT THIS CHECKS ALL OF THE BOXES.

>> THESE AREN'T THE INCIDENT OUT.

THE SIMPLE TRANSACTION OF BUYING A HOUSE.

>> IF, IF YOU CHECK ALL OF THE BOXES, THEREFORE, IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO CHANGE THE LIEN.

IT WOULD BE, IF YOU COULD SHOW UP.

IT WOULD BE WISE. >> I WILL MAKE A MOTION WE DENIED THE REQUEST AND SUGGEST YOU COME BACK AFTER IT IS CLEANED UP. COME BACK AND TALK TO US AFTER

IT IS FIXED. >> I CANNOT CLOSE ON THE PROPERTY WITH THIS LIEN. SO THIS SQUASHES IT RIGHT HERE.

>> IS THAT FROM YOUR BUSINESS STANDPOINT YOU WANT TO IT.

WE HAVE HEARD OTHER PEOPLE BUY PROPERTIES WITH THE LIEN IN PLACE. I THOUGHT IT HAD TO BE SETTLED BEFORE THE NEW OWNER COULD COME IN.

BUT WE HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE WHERE THE NEW OWNERS COME IN

WITH EVENING IN PLACE. >> THIS IS A DIFFERENT PROCESS.

>> I ASKED THAT QUESTION POINT-BLANK COME.

>> WITH THE LIEN IN PLACE THEY BOUGHT IT.

>> THAT CONSTITUTES NOT CLEAR TITLE.

THERE ARE CERTAIN PEOPLE COMFORTABLE TAKING OWNERSHIP OF

PROPERTIES WITHOUT CLEAR TITLE. >> THEY ALSO TAKE A RISK.

>> THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY NEXT STATEMENT.

AT THIS POINT, ON A HOME WE DO NOT TAKE OWNERSHIP WITHOUT CLEAR TITLE FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS. BUT AGAIN, I'M TAKING A HUGE RISK IF I COME BACK AND IT IS FIX IT YOU GUYS ARE UNMOVED.

>> MAYBE THEY WILL PAY THE LIEN OFF.

>> IT SEEMS UNLIKELY THEY WILL PAY THE LIEN OFF.

I THINK IN THIS CASE, HE HAS ALSO LEFT THE DOOR OPEN FOR US TO NEGOTIATE, A SETTLEMENT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE 1600 AND 21,000. THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING FOR HIM TO CLARIFY. IS THAT SOMETHING.

MY EXPERIENCE IN THE PAST WITH THIS AND OTHER COUNTIES, THEY REDUCE IT TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE COST AND IT IS USUALLY $1,500.

THAT IS WHY I SUGGESTED THAT ON MY APPLICATION.

IF THERE IS ANOTHER AMOUNT, THEN IT'S DOABLE.

IN THE END, WE ALL WANT THIS TO GET FIXED.

>> HOW MANY OF THESE TYPICALLY COME TO THE BOARD BOARD.

VERY FEW ACTUALLY COME. I GUESS, I FEEL MORE LIKE IF YOU HAVE ALREADY BROUGHT -- MY FAULT THE PROPERTY YOU KNOW.

HE DOES KNOW. >> VERY SELDOM DO THEY COME.

MOST OF THE TIMES PEOPLE HAVE BOUGHT THEM.

>> THIS IS THE SECOND ONE SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE THAT HAVE COME TO THE BOARD. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS JUST THAT. THEY WILL BUY THE PROPERTY.

>> WHAT IS THE ESTIMATED CLEANUP COSTS TO CLEAN THAT UP SO THAT YOU CAN DO. OKAY, YOU ARE ASKING HOW MUCH TO

RECTIFY THE CODE VIOLATION. >> $500 TO CUT THE GRASS.

[03:10:28]

>> I GUESS, IT IS DIFFICULT AND THIS IS NOT YOUR ISSUE BUT WHAT THEY WOULD NOT SPEND SEASON HUNDRED DOLLARS TWO YEARS AGO WHEN THE VIOLATION FIRST CAME UP, THEN THEY WOULD NOT HAVE THIS. UNDERSTAND THEY DID NOT EXPECT TO SELL THEIR HOUSE. IT'S JUST REALLY DIFFICULT.

>> WHY FIX IT IF NO ONE WILL MAKE YOU FIX IT.

>> WILL YOU RESTATE THE MOTION. >> WE DENIED THE REQUEST.

>> ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? >> I DON'T KNOW WITH THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY SITUATION IS. IT'S HARD TO HAVE EMPATHY WITH PEOPLE WE OWE HIM A COUNTER OFFER.

I WOULD THROW OUT HALF-PRICE. THAT WAY YOU CAN BUY THE PROPERTY AND PUT IT BACK INTO COMPLIANCE AND PUT IT ON THE TA% ROLL WHERE IT IS. LET THEM DEAL WITH THE OWNERS.

THEY WILL BE PUNISHED IN SOME RESPECT BECAUSE THEY WILL TAKE LESS MONEY. SO, IF SOMEONE IS INTERESTED IN THAT, I WOULD BE WILLING TO TALK SOME MORE, BUT WE DO HAVE A

MOTION AND A SECOND PERIOD. >> IT IS ON THE TAX ROLL.

THE TAXES ARE BEING PAID. WE CANNOT CONFUSE TAXES AND

FINES. >> IT'S ON THE TAX ROLL RIGHT NOW. SO, ALL WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IS ENFORCING THE RULES THAT WE HAVE IN CODE.

WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY HERE, IT IS A 200 30,000 DOLLAR HOME.

THEY CAN AFFORD TO PAY THE FINE THEY ACCUMULATED, IN MY OPINION.

>> I AM SURE THERE ARE NEIGHBORS WHO WANT TO SEE IT FIXED.

I'M SURE CODE ENFORCEMENT WOULD LIKE IT TO BE FIXED.

WE DON'T KNOW THE POSITION OR WHAT WAS GOING ON.

I THINK WE SHOULD ENTERTAIN THIS.

IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. NOT EVEN BRINGING HIM INTO THE

PICTURE. >> IF I MAY, AND THIS IS NOT TO BE A THREAT. IF THIS IS HOW IT IS TODAY, THIS WILL NOT GET FIXED ANYTIME SOON. IT HAS BEEN TWO YEARS.

THEY ARE NOT IN A HURRY. IT IS A MATTER, THIS CAN BE

FIXED IN ONE MONTH,. >> I SPEAK FROM MY EXPERIENCE, THEY JUST WANTED FIX. THEY HAVE HAD 100,000-DOLLAR FINES REDUCED BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY WON'T GET $100,000, THEY

JUST WANT IT FIXED. >> WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO FORECLOSE AND SELL IT TO YOU CLEAN.

>> IT WILL COST US MONEY TO DO THAT.

>> IF THEY ARE NOT LIVING IN IT WE CAN.

>> HOW LONG WILL THAT TAKE? >> WE WAITED TWO YEARS.

THE NEIGHBORS HAVE SUFFERED. I HAVE TO RELATE THE STORY.

WHEN I WAS GOING DOOR TO DOOR, I HAD AN OLDER COUPLE INVITE ME TO THE HOUSE. I HAD COFFEE WITH THEM AND THEY OPENED THE CURTAINS AND POINTED TO A HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET THAT WAS DILAPIDATED. THE GUY GOES, THIS IS MY NEST EGG. I WANT TO SELL THIS AND RETIRE ONE DAY. THAT HOUSE HAS BEEN OVER WITH FOR TWO YEARS, I COMPLAINED THAT NO ONE CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

[03:15:03]

UNLESS WE ENFORCE OUR OWN RULES, WE SHOULD STOP DOING THAT.

LET'S NOT FIND ANYONE. >> WE HAVE HAD THAT DISCUSSION

BEFORE, ASSUMING THE FINES. >> MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I MAY AND I DON'T WANT TO CONFUSE THE SITUATION.

WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT HOMES, I BROUGHT THE LITTLE OF TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH THE HOME IS WORTH. I CAN ALSO TELL YOU THE TAXES ARE OVER $2,000. THE NUMBER CAME UP AND THE VALUE OF THE INSTRUMENT IF IT PLEASE THE BOARD IS $320,000.

IN 2013, THEY SOLD THE HOUSE FOR 200 30,000 DOLLARS.

OR $107 PER SQUARE FOOT. >> THEY PURCHASED THE HOUSE.

>> SO, THERE ARE OTHER HOMES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SOMEWHERE IN THERE, A FAIR AMOUNT WOULD BE PER SQUARE FOOT.

SOME ARE RIGHT NEXT TO IT, I WANTED TO THROW THAT OUT TO THE BOARD. THERE IS A BUSINESS TRANSACTION GOING ON. THAT IS IN ADDITION TO THIS FINE. THAT MAY HELP THE BOARD COME UP

WITH A NUMBER. >> WE ARE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT WITH THE BACK ROOM AND POOL -- MY POOL LOOKS LIKE, IMAGINE WHAT THE INSIDE LOOKS LIKE. THIS IS USUALLY AN INDICATOR OF A HOME THAT CAN BE PURCHASED BECAUSE IT IS READY FOR SOMEONE

TO MOVE INTO. >> WHAT WOULD BE THE COST TO

REMEDIATE IT? >> THE PART UNDER DISCUSSION.

I UNDERSTAND YOU NEED TO MAKE A PROFIT BUT I WOULD LEAN MORE TOWARDS THE NEGOTIATION OF SOME FINE.

THAT DOES SET THE PRECEDENT TO HOMEOWNERS, WE WON'T JUST GIVE IT TO YOU FOR $1,500. IF THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR IS $270,000 IN EUROPE TO PUT 100,000 INTO IT IS ALREADY AT 300 30,000 AND IT IS NOT WORTH IT.

I'M USING ROUND NUMBERS. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, YOU REPRESENT YOUR COMPANY, WE REPRESENT THE CONSTITUENTS AND THE CITIZENS. I FEEL LIKE, WE DON'T WALK AWAY WITH ANYTHING BUT STAFF COST BECAUSE THE COUNTY PUT MORE INTO IT THAN STAFF COST. YOU HAVE TO PUT A NUMBER ON IT.

THERE HAD TO BE. >> THIS IS ALSO A RUNNING FINE.

EVERY DAY. >> ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS NONSENSE. THE COSTS ARE CAPS ON A.

>> WE FROM WHAT WE SAW BEFORE, SOMEBODY COMES UP IN THOUSANDS.

>> SO COMMISSIONER, IF WE CANNOT NEGOTIATE TWO AND A SENSIBLE AMOUNT I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR.

>> SO, WE CAN STILL VOTE TO TURN DOWN THE $1,600.

IT DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T COME BACK AND SAY WE ARE NOT READY TO SETTLE, WHICH IS SETTLE FOR X AND YOU CAN SAY YES OR NO.

[03:20:03]

WE CAN BUILD ON THAT. >> ALL RIGHT.

>> THE DISCUSSION IS ENDING. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR.

I THINK -- ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSE? THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0. AND SIR, YOU ARE STILL IN FRONT OF US, DOES ANYONE HAVE A MOTION AMONG?

>> I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT AN AMOUNT -- I DIDN'T PULL THE AMOUNT OF. THE AMOUNT OF HALF OF THE

22,000. >> $21,125.

>> HALF OF THAT. WE WILL STOP THE FUNDS EFFECTIVE NET WORTH OF JANUARY TO HIS CLOSING DATE.

>> WIRE NOT THAT'S REQUIRED ARE WE NOT NEGOTIATING WITH THE

OWNER? >> THE CODE DOES NOT ALLOW US TO. IT ALLOWS HIM TO COME TO US DIRECTLY ONLY BECAUSE HE HAS THE CONTRACT.

>> INC. IN GO TO THE MAGISTRATE AND GET THE FINE REDUCE.

>> THE STATUE PROVIDES THIS PROCEDURE TO DIRECTLY COME TO

YOU. >> I UNDERSTAND.

BUT THE PROPER WAY TO DO IT, IS TO US FOR FORGIVENESS.

>> I DON'T KNOW. THE OWNER IS NOT EVEN IN THE PICTURE. THEY DON'T CARE, FOR SOME REASON. THEY ARE ALLOWING A BUYER FOR

THEIR DIRTY WORK. >> THE SECOND TIME WE CAN EXPECT

THE SAME RESULTS. >> I DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS THE

TIME LIMIT IS. >> I WAS CLARIFY THE MOTION.

>> $10,562 AND THE FINES WOULD BE EFFECTIVE THE 12TH OF JANUARY, IF THAT IS LEGAL. THAT IS MY MOTION.

>> THIS IS SOMETHING WE CAN DO, NEGOTIATE THE TOTAL?

>> WHERE DO I STAND WORKS. >> YOU CAN AGREE NOT TO SIGN IT.

>> 'S OWNER PAY $10,000 AND BE RELIEVED.

>> THE OWNER WOULD HAVE TO CLEAN UP AND PAY THE FINE.

>> >> THE DEAL DIES RIGHT HERE.

THIS MAY NEVER GET RESOLVED. AT $1,500 THIS IS GETTING CLOSE AS FAST AS I CAN WALK OUT OF THE DOOR.

AT $2,000 FF ANOTHER CONVERSATION WITH THE SELLER AND OUR BUSINESS. THIS IS WORTH 300,000.

[03:25:04]

>> IT'S SOMETHING ABOUT ETHICS. >> JUST PAID THE ATTORNEY ON THE

WAY OUT. >> WE HAVE OF MOTION TO REDUCE THE TIME WHICH IS HALF. IT WILL NOT INCREASE AT THIS POINT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSIONS?

>> IT WOULD BE UP TO HIM TO MAKE THE DETERMINATION IF HE WANTS TO COME BACK. THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT IN TERMS

OF THE MOTION. >> CAN'T HE DOES NOT HAVE TO

AGREE. >> ANYTHING ELSE.

SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND PERIOD ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ANY OPPOSE COLLECTION. >> THE CHAIR INFLUENCING THE OPPONENT IF ANCESTRY HAVE BEEN TOO.

SO A CONTRACT THAT WILL INDICATE DIFFERENT AND I APOLOGIZE FOR HAVING TO SIT HERE FOR THREE HOURS.

>> THANK YOU. DAN THAT COMPLETES OUR AGENDA OF

THEY HAVE ALL BEEN PARTICIPATING MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION.

THAT I WILL FOR APPROVAL. THESE GUYS DO A LOT OF WORK.

THOUGHTS? >> I AGREE WITH THAT.

APPOINTMENT. >> I MAKE A MOTION.

>> WE HAVE A MOTION IN A DISCUSSION.

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSE.

[33.  Discussion of Appointments to the Fleming Island Advisory Committee]

IT CARRIES 500. >> WE MOVED TO NUMBER 3030 WHICH IS THE DISCUSSION OF APPOINTMENTS TO THE FLEMING ISLAND ADVISORY COMMITTEE. THAT IS IN MY DISTRICT, DISTRICT ONE. THEY ARE HAVING A TURNOVER WITH MEMBERS OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

MEMBERS WILL BEEN ON THERE FOR A LONG TIME.

THEY HAVE FALLEN BY THE WAYSIDE. THESE FOLKS, HAVE ALL STEPPED UP TO PARTICIPATE. THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE, MADE THAT RECOMMENDATION, AND THEY WILL HAD AND GO IN AND HOLD A NEW ORIENTATION FOR THE NEW MEMBERS SO THEY HAVE AN IDEA OF

WHAT THEY NEED TO DO AND I DO. >> IS JUST A SUNSHINE GROUP

QUICKSAND NO, NO SUNSHINE -- >> NO, IT IS NOT A SUNSHINE

GROUP. >> USUALLY, -- THEY STARTED 20 YEARS AGO. IT IS LIKE A PRECURSOR TO ZONE PLANNING. THEY LOOK AT ITEMS AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION. PETE DAVIS, WAS A CHAIRMAN PRIOR TO THE CHAIRMAN WHO IS THERE NOW.

>> I MOVE APPROVAL. >> SECOND PERIOD.

>> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

[34.  Discussion of Appointment of Commissioner Burke to the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC)]

[35.  2021 SJRWMD Governing Board Meeting Schedule]

CONGRATULATIONS. >> LETTERS OF DOCUMENTATION, WHAT WE HAVE IS THE GOVERNING BOARD MEETING SCHEDULE.

WE DO NOT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING WITH THAT SO WE WILL MOVE TO THE

[PUBLIC COMMENTS]

WE WILL GET YOU AMY. >> THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. I THINK THE BOARD HAS MADE A GREAT DECISION WITH THE COMMENT ON THE RANGE ITSELF.

I'VE DONE RESEARCH ON MY OWN AND MADE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE PEOPLE I THINK SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN THIS SPIRIT THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A SOURCE OF INCOME FOR THE COUNTY THROUGH THIS PARTNERSHIP. I THINK, WE SHOULD PURSUE THIS SPIRIT AND HAVE OTHER PEOPLE TAKE A LOOK AND MAKE PROPOSALS TO THE COUNTY. THERE ARE SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES I HAVE SEEN IN SOUTHERN FLORIDA. THERE IS A PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN PALM BEACH COUNTY AND THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.

IN ST. JOHN'S COUNTY THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TOO.

IF WE CLOSE THIS, AND DO NOT PURSUE THIS IT WILL BE A LOSS FOR THE COUNTY. PLEASE PROCEED.

>> THANK YOU. AMY.

AND AMY, I'M THE FINANCE OFFICER.

KIRK GLEANED -- KIRK -- CLERK GREEN IS WATCHING ONLINE AND WANTED ME TOO MAKE A COMMENT ON HER BEHALF.

LAST MONTH SHE TRIED TO REACH OUT TO YOU GUYS AND GOT AN APPOINTMENT ON YOUR SCHEDULE FOR LATE JANUARY OR EARLY FEBRUARY.

ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS WE WILL HAVE IS WHAT YOU WANT FROM A FINANCE AS WE TRANSITION. IF YOU NEED THAT RESENT TO YOU, I KNOW MR. BOLLA YOU DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU HAD IT BOOKED.

SHE CAN GET THAT TO YOU. SHE JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THEY ARE ON SCHEDULE AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME OUT.

THEY ARE SCHEDULED BETWEEN LATE JANUARY AN EARLY FEBRUARY.

WE DID IT DURING THE HOUSE DAYS -- HOLIDAYS.

>> I GOT A SCHEDULE. I KNOW I DO.

I JUST DON'T CARRY A PHONE ANYMORE.

>> IF YOU NEED IT SENT TO YOU, WE WILL DO THAT.

>> OKAY. >> I AM NOT SURE IF I'VE MISSED

IT YET. >> DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE PUBLIC

[COUNTY MANAGER]

MOVE ON TO THE COUNTY MANAGER. >> THE ONLY COMMENT I HAD WAS, I HAVE THE CARD FROM THE TCO AND WHAT THEIR SUBMISSIONS ARE.

WE WILL DISCUSS IT AS WE PROCEED FORWARD.

CHARLIE WAS NICE ENOUGH TO PRINT THAT FOR ME.

OTHER THAN THAT, JUST A LOT GOING ON AND WE APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK OF THE STAFF GETTING THIS TOGETHER AND WE ARE DEFINITELY PLANNING A FUTURE AUDIT.

WE ARE TRYING TO GET AS FAR OUT AS WE CAN.

THAT HAS BEEN OUR GOAL FOR 2021. WE DO HAVE A TEAM LOOKING AT THAT AND SCHEDULING THIS. THAT MEANS ELECTRONICALLY YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE AGENDAS WE ARE PREPARING.

DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, THAT IS ALL I HAVE.

>> THANK YOU. I SHOULD MENTION YOU MAY SEE A DIFFERENCE IN THE AGENDA. WE DID CHANGE THINGS AROUND EARLIER IN THE MEETING. WE CHANGE PLACES WITH THE PROCLAMATION. WE ALSO MOVED THE COUNTY MANAGER AND COUNTY ATTORNEY AND COMMISSION AUDITOR.

SO, JUST THOSE FEW THINGS. SO, COUNTY ATTORNEY, ANYTHING?

[COUNTY AUDITOR]

>> NO. >> LET'S GET HEATHER APPEAR, OUR

COUNTY AUDITOR. >> GOOD EVENING.

I AM THE AUDITOR. SO, I HAVE A FOLLOW-UP FOR YOU FROM THE DECEMBER 8 BOARD MEETING.

[03:35:04]

THE BIDS WERE RECEIVED FROM MOTOROLA.

I RECEIVED SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION FROM THE CHIEF AND KAREN. THIS WAS PRIOR TO PERFORMING MY EVALUATION REGARDING THE PROJECT REQUIREMENTS.

SO, MY UNDERSTANDING IS COMMISSIONER BOLLA WAS MAINLY FOCUSED ON THE BID PRICING AND WHAT WE RECEIVED SINCE THE CONTRACT PRICE OF $50 MILLION. SO, FIRST I PERFORMED AN INDEPENDENT RECALCULATION OF THE PRICES.

SO, MY RECALCULATION WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE STAFF'S EVALUATION AND THE MOTOROLA COST WAS THE LOWEST OF THE THREE.

I DIDN'T REVIEW THE SUBSEQUENT CHARGES THAT WE RECEIVED FROM MOTOROLA ABOVE THE 50 MILLION-DOLLAR CONTRACT PRICE. THOSE CHARGES ARE APPROXIMATELY $719,000. SO, MY EVALUATION WAS THAT THESE CHARGES WERE FOR REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENT WHICH WERE NOT INCLUDED IN ANY OF THE THREE ORIGINAL BIDS THAT WE RECEIVED.

THEREFORE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CONTRACT PRICES NO MATTER WHAT WE WENT WITH.

ANY QUESTIONS? >> THAT ANSWERS MY QUESTION.

THIS IS VERY GOOD. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, HEATHER. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

COLONEL SHE WAS WORKING ON SOME OTHER THINGS AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL SPEAK TO HER AT THE NEXT MEETING.

WE LIKE HAVING YOU ON THE AGENDA.

[COMMISSIONERS' COMMENTS]

>> ALRIGHT, SO WITH THAT WE WILL MOVE AHEAD TO COMMISSIONER'S

COMMENTS. >> I HAVE NONE THANK YOU.

>> COMMISSIONER BOLLA. >> I WAS AT THE DENTIST TODAY, AND THE FORMER OWNER CAME IN. HE WENT TO THE ROTARY MEETING, AND I WAS AT THE CHAMBER. HE SAID THERE WAS AN EXTENSIVE DISCUSSION AS TO HOW WELL THE COUNTY WAS DOING HANDLING THE VACCINE PRIORITIZATION AND ROLLOUT.

THAT WAS UNSOLICITED. I JUST WANTED TO PASS THAT ON.

GREAT JOB GUYS. >> COMMISSIONER?

>> I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION, OUR POLICY CONCERNING, I WILL CALL IT PANHANDLING AT THE STREET CORNERS AND COLLECTING MONEY.

DO WE HAVE A POLICY CONCERNING THAT? IT SEEMS, AS IF IT IS PREVALENT AT A LOT OF INTERSECTIONS.

AND AT CERTAIN TIMES OF THE YEAR I KNOW WE AUTHORIZE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY COLLECTIONS AND STUFF BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE, OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE OUT COLLECTING MONEY IN THE RIGHT OF WAY FREQUENTLY THAN ONCE PER YEAR.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS ONE OF OUR RESPONSIBILITIES OR THE

SHERIFF. >> THEY DO HAVE TO GET A PERMIT.

>> BUT I THINK YOU ARE SEEING PEOPLE THAT DON'T.

>> I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THEY DON'T.

MOST OF THE PEOPLE I TALKED TO DON'T.

>> IS AN INDIVIDUAL? >> IS BOTH.

WE HAVE ISSUES WITH BOTH. I DON'T WANT TO NAME GROUPS.

>> IF THEY GET AN APPLICATION, THEY CAN DO IT UP TO FOUR TIMES PER YEAR IF THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THE RIGHT CHANNELS.

>> IS THAT EIGHT SHERIFF'S VIOLATION OR COUNTY CODE VIOLATION, WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

>> IT WOULD BE OUR VIOLATION AND THE SHERIFF WOULD HAVE TO

ENFORCE IT. >> THAT IS ALL I WANTED TO KNOW.

>> I ECHO THE COMMENTS THAT COMMISSIONER BOLLA BROUGHT UP.

LOTS OF THANK YOU TO THE VACCINATION.

>> I HAVE ONE QUICK ITEM. IT CAME TO ME BECAUSE I ATTENDED

[03:40:04]

THEY HAD A SESSION THAT WAS THE CHAIRMAN'S ACADEMY.

ONE OF THE THINGS THEY SAID, YOU SHOULD FOLLOW THE RULES OF YOUR BOARD AND COMMISSION. WE DO NOT HAVE RULES.

WE HAVE INFORMAL PASTIMES FROM ONE BOARD TO THE OTHER.

I WOULD LIKE PERMISSION FROM THE BOARD TO GIVE STAFF DIRECTION, AND I'VE ALREADY COLLECTED A NUMBER OF THINGS.

NOT TO MAKE THEM EXTENSIVE BUT TO SAY, WE HAVE HAD A COLLEGIAL FIELD FOR THE BOARD IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS.

I CAN IMAGINE AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE THAT MAY NOT BE, AND WE NEED TO HAVE SPECIFIC SENT I WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT.

>> I DON'T ANTICIPATE PROBLEMS BUT GOOD LAWYERS TELL YOU, YOU NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING WRITTEN DOWN IN CASE THINGS GO BAD.

IT COULD BE A PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE.

BUT, WE WILL SEE. I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO THE NEXT STEP AND PRESENT IT TO THE BOARD AND LET PEOPLE KNOW.

>> DO YOU NEED A MOTION? >> JUST A GENERAL CONSENSUS.

>> NINE YEARS ON THE BOARD, WE HAD RULES TO KEEP A BORDER ON THE COMMISSION. WHAT IS ALLOWABLE AND WHAT IS

NOT. >> WE WILL DO THAT, AND WE WILL GET THAT TO EVERYONE AS WE MOVE ALONG.

>> AND THE SAME THING JOHN, NOTHING BUT KUDOS TO YOU AND HEATHER AND THE STAFF FOR HOW PEOPLE ARE TREATED AND HOW THINGS HAVE GONE SMOOTHLY. WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE SHORTCOMINGS ABOUT HOW PEOPLE ARE NOTIFIED.

I THINK YOUR SUGGESTION WAS A GOOD ONE AND WE WILL MOVE AND KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED. WE HAVE MORE MODERN OR TRUCKS

INTO THE SACRED. >> REMAPPED A PRODUCT NEW ALERT TO CLAY COUNTY IF DIRECTOR WARD IS FLYING SOLO FOR A WHILE.

IF HE DISAPPEARS WE CAN PUT OUT THE ALERT IN CLAY COUNTY TO FIND

THEM. >> WE APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO.

THANK YOU. >> AFTER HE LEFT SOMEONE IN

CHARGE TO KEEP EYES UNIMPAIRED. >> HE ALREADY FORWARDED THE CAUSE AND THEY SAID WHAT IS THIS.

SO, THAT IS NOT A GOOD SIGN, BUT THANK YOU.

>> THINK YOU TO THE REST OF THE STAFF.

WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU DO HELPING US GET THROUGH THE DAY.

THAT IS IT. WE WILL RETURN.
