[PRESENTATIONS]

I CAN HEAR YOU. >> I HAVE MY VIDEO ON. GOOD AFTERNOON MEMBERS.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THIS POTENTIAL NEW PROJECT ALREADY TEAM, IS JOY HERE TODAY. WE WILL WALK YOU THROUGH WHAT THIS WILL LOOK LIKE.

WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOUR FEEDBACK AND COMMENTS AND PENDING YOUR APPROVAL, WE WILL LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING A ROLLING OUT CEREMONY AND IT WILL BE SPECIFICALLY THE VETERANS.

WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK CHARISSE AND THE COUNTY MANAGER, IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE WORKING WITH

YOU. IT ALWAYS IS. >> IF YOU COULD JUST HOLD UP A

SECOND PERIOD ARE WE NOT GETTING THEIR VIDEO COLLECTS. >> I DON'T SEE JESSICA ON THE

VIDEO BUT CAN YOU SEE MY VIDEO. >> YES. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING GOING ON

THERE. >> LET ME SEE IF I CAN WORK ON THAT.

[00:10:03]

I APOLOGIZE. >> DO YOU HAVE TO ENABLE HER FEED AT ALL? WE CAN RUN THE POWERPOINT FROM HERE. GO AHEAD.

WE WILL FOLLOW A LONG. I'M JUST GOING TO ASK YOU, DO YOU WANT TO COME OFF OF MUTE

COLLECTS. >> IS EVERYONE ABLE TO HEAR ME? >> PERFECT.

I WAS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY CAMERA. AT THE RISK OF FREEZING UP, I WILL PROVIDE DETAILS OF LINE HERE. SO AS JESSICA MENTIONED, I AM ONE OF THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNERS HERE. I WILL BE SHARING INFORMATION ON THE NUCLEIC -- RACK CLAY COUNTY PROPOSAL. IF YOU WILL GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE

FOR ME PLEASE. THANK YOU. >> THIS ONE WAS DEVELOPED BASED ON THE REQUEST WE RECEIVED TO SERVE THE CLINIC ON 220. THIS WILL BEGIN AT KEYSTONE HEIGHTS AT 7:30 A.M. IT WILL MAKE STOPS AT PENNY FARMS AND THE SENIOR CENTER AND ULTIMATELY IT WILL BE ENDING AT THE VA CLINIC. WE ARE LOOKING TO PROVIDE THREE ROUNDTRIPS, HEADING BACK TO KEYSTONE HEIGHTS. WE ARE HOPING TO HAVE THIS UP AND READY TO GO BY APRIL, IF NOT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. BECAUSE THIS IS A FLEX LINE SIMILAR TO THIS, IT ALLOWS WRITERS TO REQUEST DEVIATIONS. THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO SERVE OVER 1800 CENTERS INCLUDING THE CLAY COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS WHICH IS ONE OF THE FAXING DISTRIBUTION SITES. THIS IS AN EXTRA BONUS. WITH THAT I WILL ACTUALLY TURN

IT OVER TO MICHAEL TO SPEAK ON THE ROUTE LINE TO PICK. >> GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE.

IN ADDITION TO THE NEW VA LIE WE WANT TO MAKE A CHANGE TO THE REDLINE.

WE WILL MAKE A CHANGE WHERE IT WILL SERVE THE CLINIC ON COLLEGE DRIVE THE BUS WITH TURN LEFT ON COLLEGE DRIVE AND HEAD NORTH TO CONTINUE ON. TO KEEP THE HOURS THE SAME, WE WILL HAVE IT RIGHT HERE. CURRENTLY WE WERE LOOKING AT THE CIRCLE K.

FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS THAT CYPRUS HAD 0 WRITERS. WE WON'T BE LOSING ANYTHING THE REVENUE HOURS WILL STAY THE SAME. THIS IS A MAP SHOWING NORTHBOUND. TURN RIGHT AT COLLEGE FAIR HAD BACKED THE SAME WAY SO WE DON'T SKIP ANY SECTION. THE BLUE LINE ALREADY DRIVES BY THE VA CLINIC.

NO MAJOR CHANGE THERE NO CHANGE TO THE REVENUE HOURS. THIS IS SHOWING THE MONTHLY RIDERSHIP YOU CAN SEE HISTORIC WIVES, THERE WAS A SMALL DECREASE IN THE BLUE LINE IN APRIL AND MAY. PROBABLY DUE TO COVID. AS OTHER AGENCIES HAVE LOST MORE PERCENTAGEWISE. THEY HAVEN'T BEEN DOING TOO BAD. THE ESTIMATED 230 PASSENGERS PER MONTH. IT WILL BE BETWEEN THE REDLINE. THIS ALLOWS A SOCIAL DISTANCING

[00:15:09]

AN AVERAGE OF 22 WEEKDAYS IN A MONTH. I WILL TURN IT BACK OVER TO YOU

FOR THE NEXT LIVE. >> THANK YOU MICHAEL. THE VA CLINIC WILL BE WHERE THIS LINE AND THE RED AND BLUE LINES WILL CONNECT AS PART OF OUR EFFORTS -- I'M SORRY.

PART OF OUR MARKETING EFFORTS WE WILL TARGET KEY STAKEHOLDERS AND ANYONE WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM THE SERVICE. AS FAR AS AFFAIRS WE WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE VETERANS HAVE A REDUCED FARE OF 50-CENT WITH A VALID MILITARY ID. THIS WOULD APPLY TO THE RED -- I AM SORRY THE RED AND BLUE LINES& GIVEN THE CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THE ROUTES.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE PROPOSAL CAN BE ADDED TO THE CATEGORY WITHOUT A BOARD APPROVAL OR POLICY CHANGE. THE COST WOULD BE 94,000. FOR FISCAL YEAR 21 THAT IS COVERED AT ONE 100% USING CARES FUND THE SUBSEQUENT YEARS IT WOULD BE USING FUNDS FOR RURAL CLAY COUNTY. THERE IS THE 5050 SPLIT FOR THAT.

CLAY COUNTY WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REMAINING WHICH IS JUST OVER $47,000.

NO ADDITIONAL COST FOR THE CHANGES TO THE RED AND BLUE LINE.

WITH THAT,. >> THE BIG QUESTION, WE ARE RUNNING A LOT OF UNITS TO THE VA CLINIC. IS THERE WAY FOR US TO COME UP WITH A TIME SCHEDULE FOR ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT ROUTES AS TO WHEN THEY WILL BE THERE SO PEOPLE CAN PLAN FOR THEIR

APPOINTMENTS COMING IN AND GOING OUT. >> I WILL TURN THAT OVER TO& MICHAEL BUT I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT, TO MAKE SURE THE THREE LINES ARE CONNECTED AND MAKING SURE PEOPLE CAN GET THERE.

THE NEW TRIPS ON THE NEW LINE WILL HAVE THREE TRIPS, SCHEDULED DURING THEIR BUSINESS HOURS.

IT IS SUCH A LONG ROUTE, THE GOLD FROM KEYSTONE HEIGHTS TO THE VA CLINIC.

THERE'S NOT MUCH ADJUSTMENTS WE CAN DO, IF WE WON ALL THREE TRIPS AND THE CLINICS OPEN OUR

SPIRIT. >> I UNDERSTAND THAT, CAN WE GIVE AN ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL SO THEY KNOW THE FIRST TRIP IS THERE AT 7:30 A.M. OR WHATEVER TIME.

>> WE WILL HAVE A SCHEDULE FOR ALL OF THEM. >> NOW, AND IF I MAY, THAT WILL BE PART OF THE COLLATERAL WE PUT TOGETHER AND WE CAN PROVIDE THE COUNTY AND VARIOUS LOCATIONS TO HAND OUT TO POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS AND ANYONE INTERESTED. WE WILL HAVE THAT INFORMATION

AND YOU CAN HAND IT OUT TO YOUR CONSTITUENTS AS WELL. >> IN TERMS OF THE VACCINE, I THINK THAT IS A GREAT IDEA BUT HOW WILL THAT WORK COLLECTS IT WILL BE WHERE THEY GET DROPPED

OFF AND THEN THEY HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE SECOND UNIT CLICKS. >> THE WAY THAT IT WORKS, YOU WOULD ESSENTIALLY BOOK A RESERVATION, YOU WOULD LET THEM KNOW IN ADVANCE YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE. IF THEY ARE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THEY WILL SCHEDULE YOU IN.

[00:20:04]

THE SAME FOR YOUR RETURN TRIP. >> OKAY, THAT CAME UP IN THE MEETING YESTERDAY, PEOPLE WITH TRANSPORTATION ISSUES COULD NOT GET TO THE VACCINE AREAS EASILY. I THINK THIS WILL SOLVE PART OF THE PROBLEM. HOWARD DO YOU WANT TO CHIME IN COLLECTS YES, SIR.

>> YES, SIR. THIS HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR THE LINE BOTH THE RED AND BLUE.

THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION IN WORKING AND CONTRACTING THAT OUT.

WITH REGARDS TO TRANSPORTATION, JOHN, WE DO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY THAT JOHN IS LOOKING INTO.

WE HAD A PHONE CALL EARLIER THIS MORNING WITH THEM TO AFFIRM THE PROCESS SHOULD SOMEONE NEED A RIDE TO THE VACCINATION CENTER. WE HAVE ALSO, TO SHARE OUR INFORMATION ON BOTH WEBSITES, ANYONE THAT MAY THEY CAN GET THE CALL CENTER AND ASK QUESTIONS, THEY CAN TALK TO PEOPLE AND ARRANGE A PICKUP. WE HAVE BEEN ACCOMMODATING IN ANY WAY WE CAN TO GET PEOPLE TO THE VACCINATION SITE. I THINK JOHN CAN ADDRESS THAT TOO WHEN HE COMES UP TO TALK.

>> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS CLICKS.

>> AGAIN, WE WILL GET THIS STARTED AT WHAT DATE COLLECTS WE DISCUSSED AND APRIL START DATE TO MAKE SURE WE GET THE INFORMATION OUT THERE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, SO WE DO SEE THE NUMBERS AS PART OF IT. THAT WILL GIVE US A CHANCE TO GET OURSELVES TO GATHER WITH THE RIBBON-CUTTING AND TO ROLL IT OUT FROM THAT STANDPOINT. WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE TIME TO GET THE WORD OUT THERE ABOUT WHAT THIS NEW SERVICES AND WHAT IT CAN PROVIDE TO THE COUNTY AND REFRESH PEOPLE'S MEMORIES AS TO WHAT IS AVAILABLE WITH THE OTHER ROUTES.

>> VERY GOOD. NO OTHER QUESTIONS FOR JESSICA AND HER TEAM AT THIS POINT

COLLECTS. >> WE APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TO UPDATE US ON THE INFORMATION AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU HERE THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME TODAY.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> LET'S MOVE ON. THE SECOND REASON TATIAN IS FROM

JJ HARRIS. GOOD AFTERNOON. >> GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE.

SO, YOU BASICALLY ALREADY HAVE THE QUARTERLY REPORT IN FRONT OF YOU.

HERE IS AN OUTLINE OF THE ACTIVITIES THAT WE CONDUCTED. WE DID DO EIGHT RESPONSES.

YOU PROBABLY RECALL PROJECT INDEPENDENT SPIRIT. >> THE QUARTERLY REPORT WAS NOT THERE CLICKS MY APOLOGIES. UP TO EIGHT SITE SEARCHES AND INQUIRIES, THEY WANTED 150 ACRES FREE. IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE CAN CONTRO BUT WE DID HAVE A SUBMISSION ON THERAPEUTIC WE HAD PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO DO CONCRETE POOLS.

THAT IS STILL IN WORKING. PROJECT ANCHOR, USE OF THE INCENTIVE.

THAT WAS AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING. I WILL FAST-FORWARD.

WE STARTED WORKING WITH PROJECT BELL. YOU WILL SEE MORE ABOUT THAT LATER. YOU PROBABLY HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM.

OVERALL, ACTIVITIES STARTED TO PICK UP. THE GOOD NEWS IS THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IS DOWN. IT FOLLOWS THROUGH NOW TO THE SAME AMOUNT.

[00:25:03]

WE HAD 154 ISSUED IN THE COUNTY. IF YOU LOOK AT THE LOCAL MARKET REAL ESTATE, IT IS STILL HOT.

OVERALL CLAY COUNTY IS UP AND THE AVERAGE JANUARY SALES PRICE WAS 249,000.

THAT IS CLAY COUNTY. IF YOU GO TO FLEMING ISLAND IT WAS DIFFERENT.

THAT IS A 30% INCREASE IN VALUE. ORANGE PARK, UP 17.9%. MIDDLEBURG, 237 OF 18%.

THEN, 235 UP 8%. KEYSTONE HEIGHTS, 1685. THE REAL ESTATE MARKET IS HOT.

IF YOU PUT A HOUSE ON THE MARKET, THE AVERAGE LIST TO DATE IS 50 DAYS.

IF YOU WANT TO MOVE SOME PROPERTY, PUT YOUR HOUSE ON THE MARKET NOW.

THE ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IS ADDING VALUE TO EVERYONE'S PORTFOLIO -- FACTOR PORTFOLIO.

WITH THAT I WILL TAKE QUESTIONS. >> >> WHAT IS THE STATE AVERAGE FOR

UNEMPLOYMENT COLLECTS. >> IT WILL BE 5.3-6%, DEPENDING ON THE MSA YOU ARE LOOKING AT.

THE ONLY ONE LOWER IS ST. JOHN AND IT IS THREE-POINT SIX. >> JUST ABOUT EVERYONE WHO WANTS

A JOB HAS ONE COLLECTS. >> YES. >> THAT IS AT 4%.

>> THE OLD ADAGE WAS PURE 5% BUT WE WERE DOWN TO TO .5 IN FEBRUARY.

WE HAVE SOME ROOM TO MOVE. ALISA LITTLE BIT. I THINK WHAT COMMISSIONER BOLLA

IS LOOKING AT IS, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE GET THERE. >> THAT IS WHY YOU BRING PEOPLE IN. YOU GET DOWN TO SUCH LOW UNEMPLOYMENT, YOUR SELECTION OF THE QUALITY WORKFORCE IS HARDER. YOU HAVE TO BRING THEM IN FROM OTHER PEOPLE.

YOUR BUILDING HOUSES, YOU ARE RECRUITING NEW BUSINESSES AND YOU ARE BRINGING IN NEW PEOPLE.

A NEW PLAN TO BRING IN FAMILIES, AND ONE OR TWO PEOPLE WORK THERE BUT THEY WILL HAVE A TRAVELING SPUSE OR PEOPLE RETURNING HOME. THOSE THAT LIVE HERE HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK HERE.

>> DO YOU HAVE ANY DATA ON -- I KNOW IN SIX MONTHS, WE CUT THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN HALF.

WE HAVE DATA ON HOW MANY ARE UNDEREMPLOYED COLLECTS. >> I DON'T.

I CAN SEE IF THERE IS DATA ON IT. USUALLY THE EMPLOYMENT DATA IS A COUPLE OF MONTHS BEHIND. SO, I WILL SEE WHAT I CAN FIND FOR YOU.

>> I THINK IT WOULD BE VALUABLE TO KNOW. I KNOW PEOPLE WHO TOOK JOBS BECAUSE THEY NEEDED A JOB. THAT DOES NOT MEAN IT WAS THE RIGHT JOB OR THE BEST JOB.

>> I KNOW WITH THE PANDEMIC, A LOT OF REGULAR INSTITUTIONS ARE NOT UP TO FULL SPEED SO DATA IS NOT AS CURRENT. AT ONE POINT WE WERE 10.2% IN UNEMPLOYMENT.

THAT WAS APRIL 2020. NOW WE ARE BACK DOWN AND THAT IS VERY GOOD.

>> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU AND I APPRECIATED. >> THE FINAL PRESENTATION -- ACTUALLY JJ WILL BE BACK WITH THE SPIRIT THE FINAL UPDATE COMES FROM AND.

HE WILL GIVE US A RUNDOWN OF THE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM. >> GOOD AFTERNOON AD.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON. EVERY MONTH, WE DO THIS. AS FAR AS PROGRESS SINCE LAST

[00:30:10]

WE DID HAVE ONE NEAR MISS TO REPORT. THAT WAS BASICALLY A BROKEN WINDSHIELD. THAT WAS POSSIBLY FROM SOMETHING FROM THE TRUCK.

THEN IN THE MORNING THEY ADDED A VEHICLE WALK AROUND TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS SICK IN PLACE BEFORE THEY START THE DAY. TO CONTINUE ON WITH THAT, NO SCHEDULE CHANGES, WE ARE STILL ON BUDGET AND NO ENVIRONMENTAL INCIDENCES. WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE DEVELOPERS TO IDENTIFY THE BEST WAY TO WORK TOGETHER ON THE ROADWAY DESIGN.

ON THE FIRST CONNECTOR FOR THE PROJECT, THEY ARE MOBILIZING THEIR SURVEY CREWS AND WORKING WITH DEVELOPERS FOR THE FINAL ROADWAY ALIGNMENT AS WELL AS A CROSS-SECTION.

WE WILL ALL AGREE ON THIS. ON JANUARY 21, FOR PROJECT NUMBER ONE, WHICH IS COUNTY ROAD 218, WE ADVERTISE FOR A DESIGN THAT WAS LOW BID, THE TEAM HELD A MANDATORY MEETING.

IT WAS ATTENDED BY 30 PARTICIPANTS. WE HAD NINE CONTRACTORS WHO WERE IDENTIFIED. IN ADDITION, THE FIRMS REQUESTED THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE ALTERNATE CONTACTS. BASED ON THE PRESENTATIONS, THE DESIGN BUILD FIRMS ARE SCHEDULED

TO SUBMIT THEIR PRESENT PROPOSALS ON APRIL 7. >> QUALIFICATION PACKAGES, ARE RIGHT HERE. THEY WERE RECEIVED ON FEBRUARY 1.

ON FEBRUARY 4 EVALUATION TEAM WAS RELEASED TO BEGIN THE ACTUAL PROCESS.

THE EVALUATION TEAM IS COMPRISED OF THREE COUNTY EMPLOYEES. THERE WERE EIGHT RESPONSES.

CRAWFORD, MURPHY AND TILLY. GII CONSULTANTS. MICHAEL BAKER INTERNATIONAL.

THE EVALUATION PROCUREMENT TEAM WILL FOLLOW THE STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD FOR THE COUNTY TO ENTER INTO NEGOTIATIONS.

THEY WILL BE BACK ON MARCH 9. W GII ARE CONTINUING WITH THEIR SURVEY.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT, IT HAS BEEN A BUSY MONTH A BUSY MONTH. NEXT MONTH WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THE WORK OF COURSE. WE WILL CONTINUE WORKING WITH THE DEVELOPERS AND SCHOOL BOARDS WE WILL BE FINISHING UP THE EVALUATION AND MAKING A RECOMMENDATION.

AND THE TEAM WILL BE PARTICIPATING IN ONE-ON-ONE CONSULTATIONS.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST WE ARE WORKING WITH WG I MINOR CHANGES TO THE CONTRACT.

IN SUMMARY, I DON'T FORESEE ANY REASON FOR NOT MEETING THE PROGRAM OBJECTIVES.

WITH THAT I WILL TURN IT BACK OVER TO THE BOARD. >> DOES ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS

FOR AND AT THIS POINT? >> THIS WILL NOT GET EASIER AS WE TRAVEL THIS PATH.

NO EASY PATH. I APPRECIATE THE COMMENT BUT WE DO HAVE A GOOD TEAM.

AS WE CONTINUE OUR EVALUATION PROCESS ON THE DIFFERENT DESIGN FIRMS AS WELL AS THE CONTRACTOR SUBMITTING PROPOSALS. WE ARE GETTING WORLD-CLASS COMPANIES AND FIRMS THAT START WITH OUR PROGRAM FORM. WE DO HAVE GOOD EXPOSURE AND GOOD EYES ON THE PROJECT AND WE ARE BUILDING A GOOD TEAM. WE HAVE A GOOD TEAM WITH US CURRENTLY AND WE WILL CONTINUE

TO BUILD ON THAT. >> I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU, IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF COMPANIES INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN BIDDING ON THE PROJECTS WE HAVE, IS IT MORE THAN WHAT YOU THOUGHT

[00:35:05]

GETTING COMPETITIVE BIDS SO WE CAN GET SOME SAVINGS IN THERE. >> AS FAR AS THE MARKET, IT HIT RIGHT ON. AGAIN, SOMETHING MORE THAN FOUR BUT LESS THAN 12.

WHEN YOU START WITH THE PROPOSALS YOU HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME EVALUATING.

WE ARE RIGHT WHERE WE NEED TO BE. IT IS A GOOD PLACE.

WE ARE SEEING THAT EVEN WITH THE CONTRACTORS INTERESTED IN THE DESIGN BUILD, THESE ARE NOT SMALL FIRMS, BUT NOT THESE HUGE INTERNATIONAL HUGE INTERNATIONAL FIRMS EITHER.

WE HAVE SOME THAT ARE THE TOP RATED IN THE FIRM. WE ARE VERY PLEASED WITH WHERE WE ARE AT. I WAS TURNING BLUE AND HOLDING MY BREATH, AND I WAS ABLE TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH THAT I FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT WE HAVE SO FAR.

>> GREAT. >> ANYTHING ELSE FROM THE BOARD COLLECTS.

[APPROVAL OF MINUTES]

>> WE MOVED TO THE APPROVAL OF OUR MINUTES FROM THE JANUARY 26 MEETING.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY CORRECTIONS? >> I'M NOT HAPPY.

THE MINUTES, ARE NOT WHAT I EXPECT. I HAVE CALLED THE CLERK'S OFFICE AND VOICE MY CONCERNS. THE CONCERNS WERE ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED BUT THE ORIGINAL ONE CAME BACK WITH MORE AREAS. I DO NOT KNOW WHO IS READING THE MINUTES BUT MY JOB IS NOT TO CORRECT THE MINUTES. MY JOB IS TO APPROVE THE MINUTES AND THEY ARE NOT OF THE QUALITY THAT I NEED. IT RANGES FROM PUNCTUATION, GRAMMATICAL, GENDER IDENTIFICATION, IT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. I THINK SOMEONE NEEDS TO

PROOFREAD THE MINUTES BEFORE I SEE YOU THEN. >> DO YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL

CORRECTIONS COLLECTS. >> I HAD ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO LOOK AT THE REVISED COPY AND I ITERATION OF THE MINUTES.ND- AND THE COUNTY MANAGER'S NAME WAS SPELLED WRONG SIX TIMES IN THE LAST PROVISION. THESE ARE NOT HARD THINGS TO FIGURE OUT.

WE HAVE SPELL CHECK, WE HAVE DICTIONARIES, I JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

I AM NOT HAPPY. >> WE WILL WORK WITH THE CLERK AND COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE TO HOW WE CAN GET THAT STRAIGHTENED. I'M WONDERING DO THEY HAVE THINGS TO LOOK AT TO CORRECT

NOW. >> I WILL SUBMIT THEM AFTER THE MEETING.

I DON'T THINK THEY ARE OF THE CALIBER THAT WE SHOULD APPROVE THEM.

I WANT APPROVE THE MINUTES RIGHT NOW. >> I DID HAVE SOME QUESTIONS.

THIS IS FOR THE REST OF THE BOARD TO MAKE A DETERMINATION IF THEY WANT TO MOVE FORWARD OR

WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING. >> I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TAKE THE MINUTES OF AT THE NEXT

MEETING. >> I WILL SECOND THAT. >> ANY OF THE DISCUSSION COLLECTS ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED, IT CARRIES 5-0. HOWARD AND I WILL WORK WITH THE CLERK'S OFFICE TO MAKE A DETERMINATION. THE CLERK IS HERE AND SHE WILL

STEP UP TO HELP US OUT. >> THANK YOU. THE MINUTES WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT YOU CALLED, YOU CAUGHT THE ORGANIZATION AND I DO BELIEVE THEY WENT BACK AND ADDRESSED SOME OF THEM. WE DO HAVE A MR. INSTEAD OF A MRS. WE HAD AN ACRONYM THAT WAS INVERTED. IF THERE ARE ADDITIONAL MISTAKES OUR GOAL IS TOO FLAWLESS. WE HAVE EXPANDED THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION THAT WE INCLUDE TO TRY TO PROPERLY REFLECT ON BOAT BUSINESS THAT IS BEING DONE BY THE BOARD.

THERE'S A LOT MORE PAGES AND A LOT MORE WORDS, I KNOW THIS TEAM WORKED TOGETHER TO STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE. WE WILL TAKE THAT. THERE -- THERE IS A THREE-PERSON REVIEW THAT HAPPENS TODAY. WE WILL MAKE SURE, WE CLEANED THAT UP.

OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE ACCURATE FOR YOU GUYS. YOU LOOK BACK 6-9 MONTHS AND YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT I WAS A BUSINESS DECISION MADE. WHAT WAS THE DISCUSSION.

[00:40:01]

>> FOR INSTANCE, MOBILE WORLD, AND IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, MY OVERALL EDUCATED US THAT THEY RECOVERED THE AIRCRAFT THAT SLID OFF OF THE RUNWAY. IF I AM CORRECT THEY MISIDENTIFIED IT AS A 747. I THINK THE MINUTES REFLECTED THAT, BUT IT WASN'T A 747, IT WAS A 737. THOSE KINDS OF THINGS I CAN UNDERSTAND BUT MISSPELLING THE

COUNTY MANAGER'S NAME SIX-TIME IRON UNDERSTAND. >> AND THEY TAKE A LOT OF THIS FROM LOOKING AT THE VIDEO. SOMETIMES WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO CAPTURE THE DISCUSSION IT IS NOT ALWAYS GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT. YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT DO YOU WANT TO CAPTURE THE ESSENCE OF THE DISCUSSION OR BE GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT BY THE DICTIONARY.

>> LET ME STATE, I AM IMPRESSED WITH THE ESSENCE OF THE DISCUSSIONS.

THEY GET THAT RIGHT ON POINT. IT IS JUST A MINOR DETAILS FOR THE PERFECT DOCUMENT IS NOT

THERE YET. >> ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE CLERK WHILE SHE IS HERE WITH US.

>> WE WILL CONTINUE TO IMPROVE. IT IS THE RECORDS FOR THE MEETING SO WE DO HAVE TO GET IT

RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> ABSOLUTELY.

>> LET'S MOVE TO PUBLIC COMMENTS. IF YOU HAVE NOT TURNED IN A CARD

[PUBLIC COMMENTS]

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. MY NAME IS CAROL BENTLEY I LIVE IN MIDDLEBURG, FLORIDA.

I AM HAVING SOME PROBLEMS WITH A DRAINAGE THAT IS FLOODING SOME LOTS THAT I JUST PURCHASED.

I PREPARED SOME DOCUMENTS, IF I CAN PASS THEM OUT, I ONLY MADE THREE OF THEM.

>> GIVE THOSE TO TERESA. WE WILL GET THOSE PASSED OUT. SO, THE FIRST PAGE IS A SURVEY THAT I RECENTLY HAD DONE. YOU CAN SEE WHERE THERE IS A CUL-DE-SAC AT THE END OF LOT 26.

THAT CUL-DE-SAC IS ACTUALLY NOT WHERE IT SAYS IT IS. IT IS 150 FEET FURTHER UP THE ROAD. THE REAL ISSUE IS THE DRAIN AND I CIRCLED THAT IN GREEN.

IT HAS AN ACTUAL LOCATION ON PAPERWORK, WHERE THE GREEN CIRCLE IS.

IN REALITY, IT IS WHERE THE ORANGE CIRCLE IS. I ALSO ATTACHED SOME PICTURES SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. THERE IS A PIPE THAT RUNS UNDERNEATH THE ROAD, EVERY ONCE WATER FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD RUNS DOWN INTO THESE DITCHES AND FLOWS THROUGH THAT PIPE. THERE IS NO INFRASTRUCTURE OR ANYTHING AT ALL IN THIS EASEMENT. IT IS ONLY 30-FOOT WIDE, BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN MAINTAINED BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN ON VACANT LAND. THE WATER JUST WINDS ALL AROUND THE PROPERTY AND SOAKS EVERYTHING. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SPEAK TO PUBLIC WORKS FOR A FEW WEEKS.

I HAVEN'T REALLY GOTTEN ANYWHERE. SOMEONE TOLD ME IF I CAME TO ONE OF THE MEETINGS IT MAY HELP EXPEDITE THINGS. WE WILL END UP LOOKING TO BUILD HERE PRETTY SOON. I'M TRYING TO GET THIS FIGURED OUT RIGHT NOW.

>> WE WILL SEND YOU TO TERESA TO GET YOUR INFORMATION AND THEN THE COUNTY MANAGER, OR RICHARD

[00:45:11]

>> I DID SPEAK TO RICHARD A LITTLE BIT. >> IF THIS EASEMENT IS NOT WHERE IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE IT DEFINITELY CAUSES PROBLEMS. WE WILL GIVE YOU A CALL TO FIND

OUT WHAT'S GOING ON. >> I'M THE COMMISSIONER SO I WILL BE HAPPY TO COME OUT AND

TAKE A LOOK. >> BEFORE HE LEAVES, WE WILL HAVE MR. SMITH GET WITH HIM AND MAKE SURE THE INFORMATION IS EXCHANGED. WE WILL ENSURE IT BEFORE HE

LEAVES. >> OKAY, AND I WILL BE AROUND UNTIL THE END IF ANYONE ELSE HAS

ANY QUESTIONS. >> THUS FINE. MS. SMITH IS IN THE BACK SO IF YOU WANT TO SAY HI AND KNOW WHAT TO DO TO GET IN TOUCH WITH EACH OTHER.

NOW'S THE TIME. >> THANK YOU. >> DO YOU WANT TO HAND THAT WENT TO THE CLERK SO THEY CAN PUT IT IN THE PUBLIC RECORD. MAYBE THE ONE ON THE SIDE, DOES

ANYONE ELSE HAVE COMMENT? MR. OTTO. >> JAMES OTTO, HIGHWAY 21.

MIDDLEBURG, FLORIDA. THE MINUTES HAVE BEEN A HUGE ISSUE FOR ME NEW YEAR'S.

YOU ARE RIGHT, THERE IS NO EASY PATH AND IT WILL GET WORSE WITH THIS 129 MILLION-DOLLAR LOAN THAT THE COUNTY HAS. THEY ARE TRYING TO SPEND IT ALL ON TWO FIFTHS OF THE COUNTY.

THAT IS NOT RIGHT THAT THE REST OF US ARE STUCK PAYING FOR THIS. THIS IS MY AREA.

WE CAN GO TO GAINESVILLE. WE CAN'T GO DOWN HIGHWAY 21. THERE ARE SO MANY ACCIDENTS.

THE MILLED -- THE MOBILITY FEE IS A BAD THING. IT SHOWS WEAKNESS FOR THE COUNTY. THERE IS NO ROOM TO MOVE. I HEARD THAT EARLIER, THAT IS RIDICULOUS. THE AVERAGE INCOME, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT IN THE PAST.

WE HAVE CALLINGS FOR OTHERS BUT NOT FOR THE CITIZENS AND THAT IS WRONG.

THE COUNTY ATTORNEY WON'T LET US BEGIN PICTURES TO PUT UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS, THAT IS NOT RIGHT. ON A GOOD NOTE GUIDO HAVE GOLF AND THE POOL, WE DO HAVE BIKING.

SOME OF THESE WE CANNOT DO, BUT FOOTBALL, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO TEACH KIDS WHO WEAR MASS BUT THEY RUN INTO EACH OTHER WITH FOOTBALL. YOU CAN TEACH THEM HOW TO WEAR A MASK WHEN THEY RUN INTO EACH OTHER. ON THE CARE ZACH, IF IT IS NOT SPENT RIGHT IT HAS TO BE RETURNED. HOW WILL THE COUNTY FUNCTION IF THEY HAVE TO RETURN IT. THERE'S NO GUARANTEE ONCE IT IS GIVEN TO THE COUNTY.

GOD HELP THE PUBLIC KNOWS THEY CAN GET PUBLIC RECORDS ON THIS STUFF, IT IS ON VIDEO.

PEOPLE ARE MAKING COMMENTS ON IT, ON FACEBOOK. IF THEY WANT TO LOOK AT THE COMMENTS. I HEARD AGAIN TODAY, OVER AND OVER AGAIN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET INFORMATION FROM STAFF. IT SEEMS LIKE STAFF IS RUNNING THIS BECAUSE IT IS GETTING PUSHED THROUGH AND YOU GUYS ARE NOT READING IT. IT IS RIDICULOUS.

YOUR JOB IS FOR THE SAFETY OF THE ROADS, NOT TO BUILD A PARK FOR $6 MILLION.

YOU WANT TO DO PARKS, LET'S DO A PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX. I AM ALL FOR THAT BUT YOUR JOB IS FOR THE SAFETY OF THE ROADS AND YOU ARE FAILING. THIS COMMUNITY HAS FAILED.

JUST DOWN -- THANK YOU MR. OTTO. >> THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WITH A COMMENT FOR

[CONSENT AGENDA]

[00:50:05]

AGENDA. >> I MOVE APPROVAL. >> ANY DISCUSSION?

ALL IN FAVOR PLEASE SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED, IT CARRIES 5-0. >> WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE CARE

[7.  CARES Act Update]

ZACH UPDATE. >> TOTAL ALLOCATION AS YOU ARE AWARE 30 A .2 MILLION.

17 MILLION WAS RECEIVED, 13 OF THAT, THIS WAS PART OF THE INITIAL THAT WAS VALIDATED BY THE STATE AND APPROVED. 76% OF THE MONEY THAT WAS ALLOCATED UP FRONT TO US.

YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR ANOTHER 21 MILLION. OF THAT WE SUBMITTED REQUESTS FOR 1,648,000,000 WITH 16-POINT EIGHT COMING IN. AT THIS POINT AND TIME YOU ARE ABOUT $9 MILLION, DIRT DELTA IS $4 MILLION WHICH IS YOUR AT RISK MONEY.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. >> OF WANTED YOU TO ANSWER ABOUT THE CARE ZACH MONEY NOT BEING SPENT WISELY. WE SPENT THAT WITH THE ADVICE OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA, WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THAT BECAUSE THEY APPROVE IT AS WE GO

ALONG. >> THAT IS CORRECT. THE OUT OF THE 17 MILLION YOU RECEIVED, THAT'S THE FIRST $13 MILLION IT HAS BEEN VALIDATED AND APPROVED BY THE STATE AND THE STATES CONTRACTOR WE LOOKED OVER EVERYTHING. THEY SAID IT'S GOOD TO GO.

THE NEXT PART IS ON A REIMBURSEMENT BASIS. THEY WON'T PROVIDE THE MONEY UNTIL WE JUSTIFY IT WITH THE STATE AND CONTRACTOR. THAT $16 MILLION HAS BEEN VETTED

OR THEY WOULD NOT CUT US THE CHECK. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR TROY ON

THAT? >> DID NOT GOVERNOR RELEASE ADDITIONAL CARE IS MONEY THIS WEEK FOR THE STATE? I THOUGHT THERE WAS A NEWS RELEASE.

>> AND I THINK WHAT YOU ARE ASSUMING IS THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE AND THAT WOULD NOT OF BEEN THROUGH THE GOVERNOR. THERE'S OTHER PROGRAMS THAT THEY HAVE RELEASED MONEY FOR, ONE IS AN ALLOCATION. THE SHERIFFS ASSOCIATION HAD AN ALLOCATION.

SO, THERE ARE OTHER POTS OF MONEY BUT NOTHING DIRECTLY TO THE COUNTY.

>> DIDN'T THEY SEND ADDITIONAL MONEY THE VACCINATION PROGRAM COLLECTS.

>> HE DID NOT SEND IT BUT IT WAS A VACCINATION. WE STILL HAVE TO HAVE MONEY THAT IS REVERSIBLE. ALL OF THIS IS MOVING PIECES, ALL OF THE TIME.

>> $30 MILLION AVAILABLE, WE HAVE RECEIVED 16 AND WE HAVE 21 APPROVED.

>> THE TOP SECTION IS WHAT WE RECEIVED UPFRONT. THIRTY-TWO WAS OUR OVERALL ALLOCATION. THIS IS WHAT YOU RECEIVED IN CASH AHEAD OF TIME BEFORE YOU SPENT IT. OF THAT THEY SAID WE SPENT 76.7% OF THAT.

THE OTHER SECTION IS THE $21 MILLION, TELL ME WHAT YOU WILL SPEND IT ON I WILL REIMBURSE YOU. OF THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO SUBMIT $60 MILLION IN CLAIMS.

>> THE DIFFERENCE IS STUFF THAT STILL NEEDS TO BE SPENT? >> IT IS STUFF, SOME OF IT IS SALARIES, WE ARE STILL TALLYING UP OUR SALARIES. SO, IT IS THINGS SUCH AS THAT.

IT HAS ALL BEEN SPENT EITHER THROUGH SALARIES OR PROJECTS. WE JUST HAVE TO CROSS OUR

ROUTINES AND OUR EYES. >> NO DOLLARS GOING BACK TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

[00:55:01]

>> OF THIS THAT'S BEING EVALUATED, THEY ARE STILL EVALUATING THE OTHER 4 MILLION

COLLECTS. >> SOME OF THAT IS STUFF WE ARE WAITING ON FOR A CHECK TO BE CUT OR AN INVOICE TO COME IN OR A COPY OF THE CHECK TO SUBMITTED. IT WILL BE VALIDATED AND WE WILL

BE FINE. >> HOW HAVE WE DONE IN COMPARISON TO OTHER COUNTIES?

>> ONE THING TO ADD TO THAT, THE CLERK'S OFFICE WILL ATTEST TO THIS, YOUR OUTSIDE AUDITOR IS LOOKING TO MAKE SURE WE DID EVERYTHING CORRECTLY. THERE WILL BE A THIRD SET OF

EYES LOOKING AT EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE DONE. >> I THINK JIM WAS TALKING ABOUT

THE BLOCK GRANT. >> IS SOMETHING ELSE THAT WE CAN WORK ON COLLECTS.

>> WE WILL SEE IF WE MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS. >> THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT WILL

[8.  COVID Update]

HELP US OUT. >> HAPPY FEBRUARY. A COUPLE OF ANTS OUT.

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT'S OUT THERE. ONE IS THE CASE REPORT.

WE ARE NOW ON A DOWNWARD TREND. THAT IS GOOD NEWS. HOSPITALIZATIONS WERE AND 60 AND AT ONE POINT WE HAD GOTTEN UP TO 136. JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, WE ARE MAINTAINING THAT. SURVEILLANCE DATA, YOU CAN SEE THE TRENDS OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS. YOU'RE SEEING DOWNWARD TRENDS OR A MOBILIZATION.

IT'S NOT ATYPICAL OF THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. THE NEXT HANDOUT IS THE DATA.

YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE ARE AT. HOSPITALS HAVE BEEN GREAT PARTNERS WE HOLD WEEKLY CALLS, JUST LOOKING AT THEIR SEARCH CAPACITY THEY HAVE NEVER HAD TO IMPLEMENT THE SURGE PLAN SO THAT IS GOOD NEWS. WE ARE DOING REALLY WELL WITH THAT.

TAKE THE LAST HANDOUTS IS ON VACCINATIONS. SO THERE ARE A COUPLE OF REPORTS ON THE DASHBOARD, AND THIS IS WHEN WE VACCINATE FOR THOSE 65 AND OLDER.

IF YOU LOOK AT THAT, WE HAVE DONE 23,000 DOSES IN CLAY COUNTY.

THAT IS ANY PRIVATE PROVIDERS THAT GOD VACCINATIONS. YOU CAN SEE WHO HAS HAD FIRST DOSES. 23,000 IS A GOOD NUMBER FOR BEING IN THE FIGHT FOR JUST A LITTLE OVER A MONTH. KNOWING WE HAD TO BUILD UP TO THAT.

WE ARE DOING FAIRLY WELL ON THAT. THIS PAST SATURDAY WE DID A CATCH OF DAY. WE HAD 831 SHOTS IN ONE DAY. A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT.

IT WAS A RAINY COLD DAY. THEN THE LAST ONE, 65 AND OLDER. THE POPULATION IN IRAQ COUNTY, THIS REPRESENTS 616% OF THE POPULATION. WE HAVE DONE A LITTLE OVER THIS MUCH. WE ARE TRUDGING ALONG AND MAKING HEADWAY.

YOU WILL SEE THAT MORE AS THE WEEKS COME ALONG AND DON WILL SHARE AS HE COMES ONLINE.

LASTLY, JOHNSON & JOHNSON HAS APPLIED FOR EMERGENCY USE OPERATIONS.

THAT IS A ONE DOSE VACCINATION. IT IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT, IT RELIES ON THE VIRUS TO DEVELOP.

IT DOES AVERAGE AROUND 68%. SOME MAY BE RELUCTANT TO GET VACCINATED AND MAYBE THIS IS AN

[01:00:02]

THE MORE DOSES YOU HAVE THE MORE LOGISTICALLY CHALLENGING THIS BECOMES.

I WILL BE GLAD TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. >> ANY QUESTIONS?

>> I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE PERCENTAGES. IT LOOKS LIKE SOME OF THE

SMALLER COUNTIES ARE AT 50-60%. WHAT IS DRIVING THAT? >> A COUPLE OF THINGS, I CAN INFER OUT OF IT. ONE IS THAT A LARGE NUMBER OF NURSING HOMES THAT WERE TAKEN CARE OF BY CVS AND WALGREENS. IF YOU HAVE A LARGE POPULATION THAT HAS A LARGE NUMBER OF THOSE FACILITIES, THOSE INDIVIDUALS WILL OFFER VACCINATIONS FROM AN OUTSIDE ENTITY.

WE ONLY HAVE A FEW IN OUR COUNTY. BACK COULD PLAY INTO IT.

ALSO DO THEY HAVE STATE SPONSORED SITES, THEY HAVE STATE SPONSORED SITES THAT OFFER VACCINATIONS. THAT CAN IMPACT BEING ABLE TO REACH THE POPULATIONS.

>> THEY ARE GETTING LARGE AMOUNTS OF VACCINATIONS. WE ARE GETTING OUR FAIR SHARE.

>> YOU DIDN'T SEEM SO SURE ABOUT THAT ONE. >> ITS OBJECTIVE.

>> YOU TOLD ME THIS BEFORE, ON THE PAGE WHERE YOU GIVE THE SUMMARY, WE HAVE ADMINISTERED THE DOSES AND THEN THE PEOPLE VACCINATED IS A MUCH LOWER NUMBER.

>> PEOPLE AS AN INDIVIDUAL I WOULD CAUGHT COUNT -- I'M SORRY I WOULD COUNT THAT AS ONE.

THE FIRST ONE IS THE AMOUNT OF DOSES AND THE SECOND ONE COUNTS PEOPLE AS AN INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE.

>> I HAD A PHONE CALL FROM A DENTIST OFFICE THAT SAID THEY GOT MY PHONE NUMBER FROM SOMEONE. THEY SAID THEY SEE A NUMBER OF 65 AND OLDER PATIENTS, THEY WERE WONDERING HOW THEY CAN GET INTO THE ROTATION FOR HEALTHCARE WORKERS SO THEY CAN FEEL CONFIDENT THEY ARE NOT HAVING WORKERS AS VULNERABLE IN THE OFFICE.

>> WE NEVER REALLY RECEIVED A CLEAR DEFINITION OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS.

WE HAVE JUST ASKED FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO BRING A BADGE, MEDICAL LICENSE AND THAT THEY DO MEDICAL CARE. WE DON'T HAVE SPECIAL APPOINTMENT SLOTS.

WHEN APPOINTMENTS ARE AVAILABLE THERE OPEN TO 65 AND OLDER OR HEALTHCARE WORKERS.

THEY JUST SHOW US THEIR MEDICAL ID AND WHERE THEY WORK. AND THEY WILL ADDRESS THE TRANSPORTATION ISSUES, WHY HAS CLAY NOT DONE THAT I CAN PEEK TODAY.

I'M STILL THE IN TERMS DIRECTOR. THE MAIN SOUGHT -- THE MAIN SITE WAS THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

THAT WAS A COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT POD WHEN THE STATE CAME IN THEY HAD A STATE-SPONSORED SITE AT THE REGENCY LOCATION. THEY HAVE DONE A FEW INDEPENDENT SITES AT THE SENIOR LIVING CENTER AND THOSE VACCINATIONS CAME FROM THE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT. SO, THAT WAS PART OF THE DEPARTMENT.

THEY HAVE DONE SOME BLACK CHURCHES AND THOSE WERE COMING FROM THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE BUT THERE'S ONLY THREE OR FOUR OF THOSE. FOR SOMEONE TO SAY THE PODS HAVE BEEN MOVING AROUND, NOT REALLY IN THE SENSE THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

A FEW THINGS HAPPEN WAS SETTING UP PODS. IT IS LOGISTICALLY CHALLENGING THE MORE TIMES YOU HAVE TO MOVE IT AND SET IT UP, SO YOU CAN GET THE FLOWS TO BE EFFICIENT.

EVERY TIME YOU MOVE IT YOU HAVE TO SET IT UP DIFFERENTLY. THOSE WILL HAVE HICCUPS.

WE HAVE VERY LIMITED STAFF. IF WE SET UP TO-3 YOU CAN ONLY DO THE SAME AMOUNT THAT YOU ARE

[01:05:04]

IS NOT LIKE WE ARE TURNING AWAY, WE ARE BEING OFFERED 1950 PER WEEK AND WE DOING 1950 PER WEEK.

>> YOU HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO DO MORE? >> YES, THE FOOTPRINT WE ARE IN NOW IS CHALLENGING. WE CANNOT EXPAND MORE THAN WHERE WE ARE AT.

I THINK WE CAN DO MORE THAN 1950 BUT WE COULDN'T DO 5,000 PER WEEK.

SO, I THINK WE HAVE TO HAVE PARAMETERS. >> THE REASON I ASKED, I GOT AN E-MAIL THAT SAM'S AND WALMART AND WALGREENS, PUBLIX, IT'S EVERYWHERE.

IT SEEMS LIKE WE ARE NOT GETTING AS MUCH AS WE LIKE AND YET THEY ARE BRINGING ON MORE.

>> JOHN WILL TALK ABOUT THAT. THE STATE IS GETTING ALLOCATED SO MANY THOUSANDS OF DOSES PER WEEK. THIS RETAIL CHAIN THAT WILL COME ONLINE AS A FEDERAL RETAIL PROGRAM THOSE DOSES WILL COME DIRECTLY FROM THE FEDS. IT WILL NOT CHANGE THE STATE ALLOCATION. LET ME TELL YOU WHAT IS HAPPENING.

PUBLIX HAS HAD AN AGREEMENT WITH THE GOVERNOR TO DO THESE VACCINATIONS.

IF WE CAN 300,000 PER WEEK, HE TAKES SOME OFF OF THE TOP AND GIVES THEM TO PUBLIC SPHERE WHEN THEY TURN ON THE FEDERAL RETAIL PHARMACY PROGRAM WE WILL NOT NEED TO TAKE THEM.

THEY WILL COME DIRECTLY FROM THE FEDS. IT CREATES CAPACITY WITHIN YOUR STATE AND COUNTY. JOHN WILL TALK ABOUT THE NUMBERS AND GUESSTIMATING WHEN THEY WILL

COME ONLINE. IT IS ALL A NUMBERS GAME. >> THERE ARE CITIZENS WHO ARE HESITANT TO GET THE VACCINATION BECAUSE OF THE WAY IT IS TRACEABLE AND THAT KIND OF THINGS. IS IT MORE THE TRADITIONAL WAY, IT MAY BE COMFORTABLE FOR SOME PEOPLE? SANCHEZ OVER TYPICAL. IT IS NOT NEW TECHNOLOGY IS JUST

NEW THE WAY WE DEVELOP VACCINES. >> WE HAVE BEEN PARTNERING WITH THEM AND WE DO HAVE SOME PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO SIGN UP. THEY DON'T UTILIZE THIS AND 30 MINUTES BEFORE THE MEETING YOU GOT AN E-MAIL AS FAR AS THE NEW SITES THAT ARE COMING ON BOARD.

THEY DO HAVE THE PHARMACY PROGRAM OPENING UP. THAT WILL BE OVER THE NEXT WEEK.

THAT WILL BE SIX PUBLIX SUPERMARKETS. AND ONE SITE COULD HAVE 384

VACCINES PER LOCATION. >> OVER THE NEXT WEEKS YOU WILL SEE THE GROCERY STORES COME ONLINE. IT WAS GOING TO BE AT DIFFERENT SIGN OF VENUE.

WE DO HAVE CITIZENS THAT CAN GO ON THERE AND SIGN UP FOR THE COVID ALERTS.

BECAUSE WE GIVE ALLOCATIONS, WE CAN GET THE NOTIFICATIONS THERE. >> WE ARE STILL EN GROUP IA.

[01:10:04]

>> I JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE NUMBERS. WE ARE ALSO DOING 1950 AND SECOND DOSES. WE ARE DOING PROGRAMS THAT ARE COMING ONLINE.

THAT IS A GUESSTIMATE OF WHAT THEY WILL GET BASED ON THE TOTAL COMING ONLINE NATIONALLY.

SO, WE ARE OPENING AND HOPING THEY GET THE WEEKLY ALLOCATION PER STORE.

>> DO WE HAVE ANY VISIBILITY AS TO WHAT THEIR AVAILABILITY IS? KMART, WALMART AND ALL OF THOSE.

THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH HAS NO IDEA COLLECTS. >> I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY DO THEIR DATA ENTRY. ONCE IT IS CHARTED YOU CAN SEE IT AFTER THE FACT.

BUT PUBLIX HAS BEEN A LITTLE RELUCTANT IN SHARING THEIR DATA. AND WE DON'T HAVE THAT

VISIBILITY UNTIL AFTER IT HAPPENS. >> ANYTHING ELSE FOR HEATHER AND

JOHN? >> THANK YOU EVERYONE. I APPRECIATE THE UPDATE.

[20.  5:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as can be heard - Mission Critical Partners 911 Report (T. Nagle)]

>> WE WILL MOVE TO THE 5:00 P.M. TIME CERTAIN SPIRIT THE FIRST ONE IS NUMBER 20.

YOU WANT TO DO YOUR REPORT THEN WE CAN GET THE SHERIFF UP. >> I'M YOUR 911 COORDINATED.

A FEW MONTHS AGO WE BROUGHT YOU THE REPORT ON CONSOLIDATION. AT THAT TIME WE SAID WE WOULD BRING BACK THE PLAN AND DISCUSS IT FURTHER WITH THE BOARD. WE ARE COMING INTO BUDGET SEASON SO WE WANTED TO GET THIS MADE. THE SHERIFF IS HERE. THE CHIEF IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON THE PUBLIC SAFETY SIDE. WE ARE ASKING TO CONSOLIDATE THE CALL TAKERS UNDER THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND MAINTAIN OUR SEPARATE DISPATCH.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IS BRINGING YOU THIS IN THE BUDGET. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR TROY AT

THIS POINT? >> IS THERE GOING TO BE ANY CONNECTION TO THE EEOC AT ALL,

OR IS IT ALL INDEPENDENT QUACKS. >> WE CONNECT ALL OF OUR SYSTEMS TOGETHER.

THE OC WILL BE YOUR BACKUP. IN THE EVENT WE HAVE TO EVACUATE THE CENTER FOR ANY REASON WE

WOULD MAINTAIN THIS AS A SECONDARY CALL CENTER. >> THE CONNECTION WILL BE THERE

SO THE DATA CAN FLOW BETWEEN THE EEOC AND THE CALL CENTER. >> WE ARE RUNNING LATE BUT MAYBE

YOU CAN GIVE US YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE CONSOLIDATION. >> THAT EVENING.

WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THIS. WHEN SOMEONE CALLS 911 WE ONCE TWO GET A FIRST RESPONDER TO THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WHAT THIS WILL ALLOW US TO DO IS IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY SO IF SOMEONE CALLS AND LEADING MEDICAL, WE TAKE ALL OF THE CALLS.

IF IT IS A MEDICAL CALL, WE TRANSFERRED THAT OVER TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THEY ASK QUESTIONS. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT GETS THERE AND IF THEY NEED THE POLICE, THEN THE CALL GOES BACK. SO, WE THINK THIS WILL IMPROVE PUBLIC SAFETY BECAUSE RESIDENTS WILL SEE A BETTER RESPONSE TIME. AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE WILL HAVE BETTER SITUATIONAL AWARENESS. WE ALREADY HAVE A GREAT DEPARTMENT AND THAT WILL MAKE

THIS ENHANCE THAT. >> DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THE SHERIFF WHILE

WE HAVE HER HERE. >> SHERIFF, THINK YOU, WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

>> CHIEF, MAYBE YOU CAN GIVE IS A QUICK SYNOPSIS QUACKS. >> I THINK THE SHERIFF SUMMED IT UP WELL. I STAND SHOULDER TO SHOULDER THIS WILL BE A HUGE STEP FORWARD

[01:15:13]

THE FUTURE. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE CHIEF QUACKS AND TROY BACK TO YOU,

WHAT DO YOU NEED US TO DO FOR YOU. >> AS WE BUILD THE BUDGET WE CAN

DO ALL OF THIS. >> WHAT ABOUT THE MONEY WE WILL USE.

>> THE MONEY THAT WE USE WE PURCHASED THE BUILDING. WE HAD MONEY THAT WAS ALLOCATED FOR CONSTRUCTION AND REHABILITATION. YOU HAVE THAT POT OF MONEY AND WE HAVE THE 911 FUND WHICH WE HAVE BEEN CARRYING FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

THAT CAN BE USED FOR SOME OF YOUR FURNITURE AND ITEMS THAT WILL GO INTO THE 911 CENTER.

>> HOW BIG OF THE DEAL ARE WE BUILDING HERE QUACKS. >> AROUND 10,000 SQUARE FEET.

THAT IS A 17,000 SQUARE-FOOT BUILDING. YOUR REAL-TIME CRIME CENTER WILL BE PART OF THAT. THERE WILL BE MEETING SPACE ON THE BACK.

WHAT IS THE TOTAL PRICE TAG QUACKS. >> WE DON'T KNOW.

>> WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT THE MONEY WE HAVE WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO RENOVATE THE BUILDING.

>> THAT WAS MY QUESTION. 400-500 OR 600 QUACKS. >> 500.

>> WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THE BUILDINGS LATER ON SO WE CAN ALWAYS REVISIT THAT.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS WHILE WE ARE HERE QUACKS WE HAVE A MOTION QUACKS.

>> I MOVE THAT WE GIVE CONSENSUS >> GIVE DIRECTION TO THE STAFF TO MOVE FORWARD.

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

IT CARRIES 5-0. >> THANK YOU SHERIFF, WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE.

[21.  5:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as can be heard - First Public Hearing on Proposed Change to Land Development Code to Allow Bottled Beverage Facilities as a Permitted Use in Branan Field Mixed Use (Commissioner Bolla)]

>> MOVED TO NUMBER 21. FIRST PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED CHANGE TO ALLOW BOTTLED BEVERAGE FACILITIES AS A PERMITTED USE. THIS IS A FIRST PUBLIC HEARING SO WE WILL NEVER VOTE VOTE BUT

WE WILL HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING. >> THIS IS A LAND DEVELOPMENT CHANGE.

THE APPLICANT IS FRANK MILLER. WE HAVE SOME CHANGES TO WHAT HE SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO THE CHANGES. THIS IS TO ACCOMMODATE BOTTLING BEVERAGE PLANTS.

WE ARE ADDING LANGUAGE INTO PLACES BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE INTO PLACES IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THE VOCATION THEREIN. THE LANGUAGE WOULD READ IN SECTION 6A, 4N, AND SIX EI, MODELING BEVERAGES INCLUDING ACQUISITION, FILLING PROCESSING STORING WAREHOUSING AND DISTRIBUTION OF BEVERAGES. STAFF IS ALSO PROPOSING THIS IS WHERE WE DIFFER FROM THE APPLICANT, RIGHT NOW, WHEN THEY ADOPTED THAT THEY USES THAT WERE BUSINESS PARK USES.

SO, IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE INTENT, WE WANT TO CHANGE THIS TO BUSINESS PARK USES AND IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. THE APPLICANT IS HERE. THEY CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS. WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. WE INVITE MR. MILLER TO TALK WITH US. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO LET US KNOW ABOUT.

>> GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. THIS IS AN EFFORT TO ALLOW USE IN THE MIXED-USE CATEGORY.

IT WASN'T IN THERE WHEN WE ORIGINALLY ADOPTED IT. OUR PROPOSAL, WHAT WE ARE IN AGREEMENT ON, IS THE BOTTLING PLANT AND HOW IT IS DESCRIBED. WE WANTED TO CHANGE IT IN

[01:20:05]

WE ARE AGREEING TO THE CHANGE. I THINK THIS IS AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COUNTY.

IT'S ONLY A POSSIBILITY NOW, BUT IT IS LOOKING GOOD. IT WOULD CREATE A LOT OF JOBS.

A TREMENDOUS INVESTMENT IN THE PROPERTY OF THE PLANT. I WOULD URGE THAT YOU CONSIDER IT. I AM AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. MILLER THIS TIME QUACKS. >> I DON'T HAVE ANY CARDS ON THIS ISSUE. IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE, WE CERTAINLY CAN TAKE YOUR COMMENTS MR. OTTO, ARE YOU WONDERING ARE COMING FORWARD QUACKS KEEP TO THIS PARTICULAR

ISSUE. >> JAMES OTTO 2910 HIGHWAY 21. I USUALLY WALK UP HERE PRETTY QUICK IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THE VIDEOS. I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE PASSING ANYTHING WITH THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT NOW. I'M REALLY UPSET WITH THIS WHOLE MEETING TODAY. WE HAVE SCHOOLS ON THE FRONT PAGE AND WE KEEP PUSHING AND ACTING LIKE THIS IS NO BIG DEAL. BY THIS COUNTY IS NOT FAILING THE COMMUNITY AND IT IS.

SO I JUST ASK YOU TO REALLY LOOK AT WHAT YOU ARE DOING. I'M LOOKING AT THIS, IT DOESN'T SAY WHETHER IT IS ALCOHOLIC. THAT IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT. THE JUST SAY CLAY COUNTY GROUNDS. YOU JUST APPROVE THE ALCOHOL. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THE COUNTY WHILE YOU ARE DEVELOPING THIS IS ACTUALLY PLANNING. WE HAVE HAD HER OVAL PLANNING OVER THE LAST TWO BOARDS. WE REALLY NEED BETTER PLANNING AND CLAY COUNTY.

I HOPE THE CITIZENS OUT THERE ARE GOING TO PAY ATTENTION AND GET INVOLVED, AND MAKE COMMENTS AND DO IT IN WRITING TO YOUR COMMISSIONERS. DON'T CALL THEM ON THE PHONE, DO IT IN WRITING SO YOU HAVE A TIME STAMPED AND EVERYTHING. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU MR. OTTO. ANYONE ELSE WANT TO SPEAK THIS IS THE FIRST OF TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS NO VOTING TODAY. SEEING NO ONE WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

WERE NOT VOTING AT THIS TIME, WE WILL BRING IT UP ON FEBRUARY 23. WE WILL REVISIT THE ISSUE.

[22.  5:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as can be heard - First Public Hearing to Consider Transmittal of CPA 2021-02 to Amend FLU Policy 1.4.1(11) and to Delete Policy 1.10.5 (E. Lehman)]

NUMBER 22 TO CONSIDER. >> THIS IS TO APPROVE THE TAX AMENDMENT TO THE FUTURE LAND POLICY. THE FIRST POLICY IS ONE POINT FOR ONE IN MY MEMO, I HAVE THE CHANGES TO IT. STATE LAW WAS CHANGED USUALLY REFERENCE TO NEW PROJECTS AND THE REGIONAL IMPACT THEY ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED. HOWEVER IF THERE IS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THEY DO HAVE TO GO TO THE STATE COORDINATOR TO REVIEW.

MOST AMENDMENTS GO THROUGH THIS BUT THIS REQUIRES A COORDINATED REVIEW.

SO, IF YOU HAVE A NEW PROJECT THAT HAS TO GET THIS, YOU CAN GO THROUGH THE PROCESS.

THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW. THE OTHER CHANGE IS FL YOU POLICY IT REFERENCES DEVELOPMENT AT THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT IT IS OUTDATED, IT REPRESENTS EXTERNAL TRIPS PROP SHARE WHICH WE NO LONGER DO. WE RECOMMEND TO TOTALLY STRIKE THAT THIS IS A STAFF INITIATED POLICY BUT THE LANDOWNER AT THE STATE ROAD IS HERE.

[01:25:02]

HE CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT DELETION OF THAT POLICY. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR AND ON THAT

QUACKS. >> LET'S OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

WE LEFT HIM TO COME DOWN AND ANSWER QUESTIONS AND MAKE A PRESENTATION.

>> MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, I REPRESENT THE LANDOWNER THAT IS AFFECTED BY THIS DELETION OF POLICY. WE SUPPORT THE AMENDMENT. THIS IS OUTDATED AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS WHILE HE IS HERE QUACKS I HAVE NO OTHER CARDS IN REGARD TO PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ISSUE. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SPEAKING, YOU CAN COME UP AND SPEAK AND HAND YOUR CARD AND AFTER THE FACT.

MR. OTTO. >> JAMES OTTO. 2908.

MIDDLEBURG, FLORIDA, HIGHWAY 21. I WOULDLIKE YOU GUYS TO EXPLAIN THIS.

I CAN USUALLY READ THE AGENDA AND HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, BUT THIS ONE IS -- I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANY OF THIS. MAYBE IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN TO

THE CITIZENS, EXACTLY WHAT THIS MEANS, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. >> OKAY.

>> THANK YOU. >> I THINK HE SUMMED IT UP, BASICALLY THE STATE STATUTE HAS CHANGED. AND WE NEED TO CHANGE LOCAL REFERENCE TO THE THINGS IN THE STATE STATUTE. CONSEQUENTLY IT IS A CLEANUP OF WORDING IN GETTING US BACK IN

SYNC WITH THE STATE STATUTE. >> WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING IT BACK TO THE

BOARD FOR VOTE. >> I MOVE FOR APPROVAL. >> SECOND.

>> ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. IT PASSES 5-0. UI APPRECIATE YOUR COOPERATION.

[9.  CARES Act - Rental Assistance]

ACT RENTAL ASSISTANCE. >> HELLO, I AM BACK. >> HOLD ON ONE SECOND WHILE I BRING UP THE POWERPOINT. THE LAST MEETING WE BROUGHT YOU THE CARES ACT RENTAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT. THIS IS DIRECTLY FOR THE COUNTY FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. I WILL GO THROUGH A BRIEF PROGRAM. EVERYTHING CAN BE PAID IN ARREARS IF YOU MEET THE CRITERIA AFTER WE PAY PEOPLE IN ARREARS. THE TOTAL AMOUNT RECEIVED 626 MILLION. 10% WILL BE -- 10% CAN BE USED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS.

THAT INCLUDES YOUR SALARIES, SOFTWARE, OR OTHER ITEMS THAT ARE PART OF ADMINISTERING THIS PROGRAM. THE OTHER 90% IS USED FOR ACTUAL ASSISTANCE TO THE INDIVIDUALS.

THIS IS A LITTLE BIT MORE MONEY THAN THEY FIRST INDICATED BECAUSE THEY DID IT BASED ON THE

CURRENT POPULATIONS. >> SO AT THIS POINT I WILL TURN IT OVER TO VICTORIA WHO WILL BE MANAGING THE PROGRAM AND SHE WILL GO THROUGH THE OPTIONS IN THE SYSTEM WITH YOU.

>> YOU ARE A LOT TALLER THAN MEET THE ME. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

TODAY. >> THE FIRST OPTION THAT I WILL BE OFFERING TODAY WOULD BE TO FUND THREE MONTHS AND RENTAL ARREARS AND UTILITIES. YOU CAN SEE THE DATA UP THERE IS BASED ON THREE MONTHS AVERAGE OF RENT AND UTILITIES. THIS COULD FUND 1,000 FAMILIES.

THE TOTALS ARE BASED ON THE AVERAGES ABOVE. THE SECOND OPTION IS TO FUND SIX MONTHS IN RENT. THE TOTALS ARE THERE. THIS OPTION WOULD ALLOW US TO

[01:30:02]

AND THEN NEXT LINE THIS IS THE PRIORITIZED TATIAN OF APPLICANTS.

THIS IS GUIDANCE FROM THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT. TIER ONE IS 50% OR LESS FROM THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME. THE MEDIUM HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS $75,000.

THEY HAVE TO FALL WITHIN THE FINANCIAL RESTRAINTS AND MEET ONE OF THE OTHER CRITERIA WHICH IS HAVING AN UNEMPLOYED HOUSEHOLD MEMBER FOR 90 DAYS OR MORE.

LOSS OF INCOME RELATED TO COVID-19 AND THREE MONTHS OR MORE AND RENTAL ARREARS.

FROM THERE WE MOVE ON AGAIN PRIORITIZING THOSE WITH LESS INCOME.

IN TIER THREE, AND THESE WE SAY TIER THREE WOULD CATCH THE HIGHER HALF OF THAT AND UNEMPLOYED RELATED TO COVID-19. TIER FOUR THE INCOME AND HAVING SOME OF THE PAST DUE.

THIS IS JUST AN UPDATE OF WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLY. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD TO CONTACT -- TOUCHING BASE WITH RENTAL PROPERTIES TO SEE WHERE WE ARE WE ARE STILL PRETTY -- I JUST LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT. WE ARE CONFIDENT AND THE 5% DELINQUENCY RATE 1,000 FAMILIS IS A GOOD NUMBER. WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE APPLICATION BASED ON THE TIER PROCESS. WE HAVE STARTED THE PROCESS OF MARRYING STAFF.

-- HIRING STAFF. IS NEXT WILL HAVE YOU APPROVE THE PUBLIC PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION. I AM HERE FOR QUESTIONS. DO WE WANT TO FOCUS ON TRYING TO REACH 1,000 FAMILIES WITH THREE MONTHS RENT OR AT 600 FAMILIES WITH SIX MONTHS OF RENT.

I WILL OPEN IT TO YOU GUYS ARE QUESTIONS. >> DO WE KNOW HOW BIG THIS ELEPHANT IS QUACKS THERE'S ALWAYS A RATE WE FEEL THAT IS WHERE THE 5% COMES IN.

WE HAVE SPOKEN TO RENTAL COMPANIES AND WE FOUND THE ONES THAT ARE 1-2% VACANCY RATE, SOME LOWER INCOMES ARE 10-12%. WE ARE CONFIDENT 5% OF THE FAMILIES ARE FALLING INTO THIS CRITERIA. BASED ON THE DATA, 20,000 PEOPLE ARE RENTALS.

BY THE TIME YOU QUALIFY INCOME YOU ARE PROBABLY AT THAT MARK. >> THE BIGGEST THING THAT HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS PROGRAM IS, THE EVICTION MORATORIUM IS IN PLACE.

A LOT CAN BE EVICTED. NOW THEY ARE SITTING AT 3-5 MONTHS.

IT SEEMS FROM THE RESEARCH,. >> CAN YOU EXPLAIN IN TERMS OF THE UTILITIES, WE ARE NOT AS FAR

[01:35:16]

UTILITIES COMPANY SAID, WE WILL LET YOU FLOAT BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE INCOME.

NOW, THEY ARE SAYING IF YOU ARE TWO MONTHS PAST DUE THEY WILL CUT YOU OFF.

PEOPLE HAVE A CHOICE BETWEEN PAYING ELECTRICAL RENT, THEY WILL PAY BACK.

WE DON'T THINK YOU WILL SEE 5-6 MONTHS OF UTILITIES BECAUSE THEY ARE HANDLING THAT INTERNALLY.

>> CAN YOU GO OVER THE 50% OR LESS MEDIUM INCOME. >> IT IS A SLIDING SCALE.

SO HALF OF THAT IS 37,004 YOUR AVERAGE FAMILY, THAT WOULD BE A FAMILY UP FOR.

BUT THAT IS A SLIDING SCALE. WHEN WE BUILD THE WEBSITE WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT IS PUT ON THERE

TO SHOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. >> DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS FOR TROY OR VICTORIA.

>> THE QUESTION IS AS THEY INDICATED, DO WE HAVE A BIGGER AMOUNT AND GO BACK AND ADDRESS IT FOR A SECOND TIME. AS WE LOOK AT THIS, THE DEMOCRATS HAVE A SPECIFIC PROGRAM WHICH MAY HAVE MORE BUT THERE WILL BE MORE MONEY IF IT GETS PAST AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE THE UPPER HAND IN THE SENATE.

MY THOUGHT IS, WE DO THE SMALLER AMOUNT FOR MORE PEOPLE AND IF WE HAVE TO, WE GO BACK AGAIN AND RUN IT AGAIN AS WE DO WITH OUR NONPROFIT. WE RUN IT DOWN.

I THINK WE CAN'T GO WRONG EITHER WAY BUT I THINK THAT MAY BE THE BETTER WAY BECAUSE WE MAY BE

ABLE TO GET SOME PEOPLE MORE MONEY. >> MY PREFERENCE IS THE OPPOSITE. I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE A COUNTY OF 220,000 RESIDENTS.

YOU HAVE TOLD ME HOW MANY FAMILIES IT REPRESENT BUT HELPING AS MANY FAMILIES AS WE

CAN, TO LEAVE 400 FAMILIES WITHOUT ASSISTANCE,. >> USE THE SMALLER AMOUNT.

I'M SORRY I MISUNDERSTOOD YOU. >> I AM WILLING TO GO EITHER WAY BASED ON HOW THE BOARD FEELS BUT

I THINK WE SHOULD TOUCH AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE CAN. >> DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY THOUGHTS. GIVE US THE RUNDOWN IN TERMS OF WHERE WE WOULD BE IN TERMS OF

ACTUALLY TAKING APPLICATIONS. >> RIGHT NOW THE GOAL IS TO LAUNCH THE APPLICATION.

IT CAN ALLOW US TO BRING IN THE SOFTWARE WE NEED TO MANAGE ALL OF THE APPLICATIONS AND DOCUMENTATION SACRAMENT. WE CAN DEFINITELY MEET THAT DATE.

>> AND YOU THINK WE SHOULD OPEN IT AS MUCH AS WE CAN. YOU OPEN IT UP, YOU LEAVE IT OPEN FOR 30 DAYS. THEY WANT WE WILL START PROCESSING APPLICATIONS.

BUT PROCESS EVERYTHING, SEE WHAT YOU GET. IF WE SEE PEOPLE SIX MONTHS PAST DUE, AND WE MAY SAY THAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE OVER HERE UNTIL WE GET INTO THE PROGRAM WE REALLY DON'T KNOW. 4% UNEMPLOYMENT RATE, THERE MAY BE LESS OF A NEED.

>> MY TAKE IS, I CAN GO EITHER WAY. IF SOMEONE IS A LITTLE BEHIND IN THEIR WORKING TO GET IT PAID OFF THEY CAN DO THAT. PEOPLE IN THE WHOLE, THEY REALLY

[01:40:03]

>> WE HAVE TO OPEN THE APPLICATIONS. I THINK THE FIRST WEEK THEY WILL

KNOW WHERE THAT FALLS AND THE AVERAGE. >> THE FIRST WEEK, WE CAN REVISIT THAT IF WE SEE MORE PEOPLE ARE IF THAT'S NOT THE CASE, THE PEOPLE WHO ARE

APPLYING, WE CAN ALWAYS MAKE A CHANGE. >> THE CARE ZACH, THREE-POINT ALWAYS GOING THROUGH CONGRESS AS WE SPEAK. IF THAT GETS APPROVED, YOU MAY SEE US SAYING, WE HAVE ANOTHER $6 MILLION. AS YOU INDICATED, THEY ARE

EXPECTING ANOTHER $6 MILLION BIL PASSES. >> LITERALLY CAN'T LOSE.

CAN'T GO WRONG EITHER WAY. WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS THAT WE MOVE IT FORWARD TO PUT THE PROPER PIECES IN PLACE. IF WE START WITH THREE MONTHS OR SIX MONTHS, THEN WE HAVE A

DISCUSSION ABOUT SOFTWARE. >> WILL THERE BE AN ABILITY FOR THEM TO PUT HOW MANY MONTHS THEY ARE BEHIND HERE IF THEY ARE SIX MONTHS OR SEVEN MONTHS BEHIND, I FIND IT, JUST KNOWING HOW SOME OF THE LANDLORDS OPERATE, THERE MAY BE AND MORATORIUM ON EVICTIONS BUT THEY CAN MAKE THE RENTERS LIVES VERY PAINFUL. I'M THINKING WE MAY HAVE SOME LANDLORDS, WHO MAY COME BACK SEARCHING, THEY MAY GO TO THEIR TENNANT AND SAY SIGN UP FOR THIS PROGRAM SO WE CAN GET YOU CAUGHT

UP. >> I AM WORKING ON PUTTING TOGETHER A BALANCE STATEMENT.

THE BALANCE STATEMENT WILL HELP US VERIFY THE NEED BASED ON THE& LEASE AGREEMENT.

IT IS A TWO-STEP VERIFICATION. BOTH OF THEM HAVE TO SIGN AND AGREE, WE ARE HOPING WITH BOTH SIGNATURES, THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO GUARANTEE THIS IS THE ACTUAL LEAD.

WE ARE LETTING THEM PUT THE TOTAL SO WE CAN SEE AND ENGAGE WITH THOSE TENANTS AND GATHER

THE DATA TO SEE WHERE WE ARE. >> IF SOMEONE HAS A MONTH TO MONTH LEASE BUT THEY ARE BEHIND,

THEY WOULD STILL BE ELIGIBLE, WITH THAT QUACKS. >> IN THAT ASPECT, THEY WOULD SUBMIT THE MONTH TO MONTH LEASE. IF THEY DO IT EACH MONTH THEY WOULD HAVE TO SUBMIT IT WITH THE

BILL AND BALANCE STATEMENT. >> WHAT DO WE DO WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE THAT.

YOU FILL IT OUT AND YOU SAY, TROY IS FIVE MONTHS BEHIND, WE BOTH SIGN IT AND WE BOTH SAY

THIS IS ACCURATE. IT'S RECOGNIZED BY THE TREASURY. >> LIKE YOU SAID BEFORE, I'D LOOK AT IT FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE, THESE PEOPLE ARE PAYING MORTGAGES, YOU CAN ALSO

HAVE THAT AND LOOK OUT FOR THAT SIDE TOO. >> HOW WILL THE UTILITIES WORK

YOUR GUESSING THERE WON'T BE A LOT OF BACK UTILITIES. >> THEY WILL HAVE TO SHOW PROOF OF THEIR LATE STATEMENTS. THEN WE WILL WORK WITH THE UTILITY COMPANIES TO ALLOW

DIRECT PAYMENT SO THAT IT CAN BE APPLIED. >> WILL THEY MAKE THE APPLICATION LIKE THE LANDLORDS. YOU HAVE TO TIE IT TO THE RENTAL AGREEMENT.

[01:45:10]

>> MOST PEOPLE ARE PAYING THEIR UTILITIES AND NOT THE RENT. >> WE HAVE A BOARD MEETING ON THE 23RD PERIOD THEY WILL LET US KNOW WHAT WE RECEIVED IN MAY BE TO SEE WHERE SOME OF THE

RENTALS. >> I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SOMEONE CAN SEE WHAT HAPPENED IN A NORMAL MONTH. THERE WILL BE 0 EVICTIONS WITH THIS PROGRAM.

>> YOU KNOW WHERE I'M GOING WITH THIS. SEE HOW MANY WE HAVE AND COMPARE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU APPROVE OPTION WON FOR THE PROGRAM WHICH

IS THE THREE YEARS IN ARREARS OR APPROXIMATELY 1,000 FAMILIES. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION, ALL IN

FAVOR SAY AYE. MOTION CARRIES. >> THE SECOND PART THAT I WANT TO VOTE ON IS THE SOFTWARE. WE WENT OUT LOOKING FOR SOFTWARE.

THERE ARE A FEW PEOPLE WHO WRITTEN -- MICHAEL HAD WRITTEN PACKAGES.

ONE COMPANY GAVE US A QUOTE OF $300,000 FOR THEIR SOFTWARE. THE OTHER FIRM, INDICATED WE ARE NOT A BIG ENOUGH COUNTY FOR THEM TO SUPPORT US WE HAD A LOCAL COMPANY WRITE THE SOFTWARE.

SINCE THEN THEY HAVE BEEN SOLD BUT THE DEVELOPERS ARE WORKING FOR A SECOND COMPANY.

WE WOULD LIKE TO ENGAGE THOSE SAME DEVELOPERS AND I WILL HAVE TO DEFER TO MY PURCHASING PEOPLE. WE WOULD LIKE TO USE THEM TO TAKE THE SOFTWARE AND READ WHAT ROY DID. WE HAD A PRELIMINARY CODE WHICH I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY CAN SIGN.

WE DON'T KNOW IF THE TREASURY GOT THEIR CHANGES DURING THIS TIME.

WE WANT TO HAVE THE SOFTWARE COMPANY WRITE THIS, EDIT IT AND MAKE IT RIGHT FOR US.

THIS WILL ALLOW THE COUNTY MANAGER TO EXECUTE WITH THIS COMPANY UP TO $75,000.

>> THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE 10% ADMIN? >> YES.

>> WHAT IS THE CURRENT LIMITATION. >> I KNOW HOW HE FEELS ABOUT THIS. I DON'T THINK WE CAN DO IT QUICK ENOUGH TO TURN THIS AROUND BY THE END OF MARCH AND GET HELP FOR PEOPLE. I THINK THAT IS WHERE WE ARE SITTING. I THINK THE CAUSE, BECAUSE WE ARE USING A LOT TO DRIVE THE COST DOWN. OTHERWISE YOU CAN'T GO TO SOMEONE WHO IS WHERE THEY ARE

TARGETING. >> TRUST HAS A LOT TO DO WITH THIS.

I HAVE TO SAY GO FOR IT. >> GO FORWARD. >> ARE MOVED FOR APPROVAL.

>> THAT TRUST MAY HAVE GONE OUT OF THE WINDOW. >> I ALLOW THE COUNTY MANAGER TO

SIGN OFF AND WAVED THE COMPETITIVE REQUIREMENT. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSIONS OR QUESTIONS QUACKS ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. THE MOTION CARRIES 5-0.

THANK YOU EVERYONE. GREAT JOB. >> ALRIGHT SO WE MOVED TO NUMBER

[01:50:05]

STATIONS AND THE EXHAUST SYSTEMS. >> PREVIOUSLY WE WERE GOING TO

JUST HANDLE 11 STATIONS. >> ACTUALLY, IT WAS MUCH LESS THAN THAT.

IT WAS NOT AN EQUAL AMOUNT BECAUSE OF THE SIZE AND WHAT HAVE YOU BUT WE BELIEVE WE WILL GIVE MORE IF WE MOVE THAT FROM THE SYSTEM AND THAT WILL GIVE US MORE COMPETITIVENESS.

>> OBVIOUSLY THE FIREFIGHTERS NEED THAT PROTECTION AND I AM MORE HAPPY TO SEE THAT.

WILL WE DO ANY STATIONS THAT ARE RETIRED. >> I WILL SAY, THE SYSTEM CAN BE

REMOVED AND USE AGAIN IN THE NEXT SECTION. >> GOOD ANSWER I VERY WELL MAY HAVE SAID THAT. WHEN WE DO THE GRANTS THEY ARE VERY QUICK.

WHEN THE ACTUAL FIGURES CAME BACK, WITH THE BACKEND STATION, THEY ALLOWED A CERTAIN AMOUNT AND I HAD TO GUESS AT WHAT THAT WOULD BE WHEN THE BUDGET NUMBERS CAME IN, SO I COULD PUT IN FOR THE GRANT NUMBER WAS HIGHER AND HE SAID IF YOU GO FOR ALL OF THE STATIONS, THEY WANT YOU TO REMOVE IT FROM YOUR SYSTEM. IF I TOLD YOU 11, THAT WAS MY BEST ESTIMATE.

>> ARE THESE POWERED SYSTEMS QUACKS. >> THEY WORK OFF OF A MAGNETIC DEVICE, YOU APPLIED THE DEVICE AND THE SAME THING WHEN YOU GET READY TO GO ON A CALL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING. SO HOMEY WILL WE OUTFITTED QUACKS 11.

>> WE NEED TO GIVE YOU AUTHORIZATION FOR PUTTING IT IN. AN AWARD TO EXCEL.

>> IT REALLY CEMENTS THE DOLLAR AMOUNT. WE HAD THE PREVIOUS APPROVAL WHERE WE HAD TO AMEND THE DOLLAR AMOUNT. DO WE HAVE A MOTION QUACKS.

>> I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THIS GRANT REQUEST. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION.

AL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. THE MOTION CARRIES. AND WE DO NOT NEED TO APPROVE

NUMBER TWO QUACKS. >> THAT IS BASICALLY TO ACCEPT THE GRANT IF AWARDED.

THE PROJECT PURPOSE, TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SUPPORTS THE GROWING NEEDS OF THE COUNTY. PUBLIC SAFETY ELEMENTS IN A FACILITY THAT WILL MEET THE DEMAND THROUGHOUT CLAY COUNTY. THEY WILL GATHER REQUIREMENTS, AND IMPLEMENT THEM IN THE DESIGN OF CONSTRUCTION AND PROVIDE A TIMELINE FOR STAKEHOLDERS. THESE PROJECTS WILL BE CONDUCTED IN FIVE FITS PHASES -- PHASES. IT WILL BE ONE PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING TO MEET THE NEEDS AND

GROWTH OF CLAY COUNTY. >> OF THE NEXT LINE THIS IS AN OVERVIEW OF THE ORIENTATION.

EVERYONE IS FAMILIAR WITH THIS LIBRARY. BEFORE GETTING TO THE NEXT SLIDES, TO BUILDINGS, AND THIS WILL BE THE SECOND LINE OF EFFORT.

I DEARLY SEE THE LAYOUT WHICH WILL BE THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH BUILDING.

THIS IS FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER. $745.

ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT YOU WILL SEE WHERE BUILDING 400 IS LOCATED IN RELATION TO THE OTHER BUILDINGS IN THAT AREA. THE GREAT AREA INDICATES VACANT. THERE ARE SOME SPACES THAT ARE GRAY. OTHERS SHOW THAT IT IS NOT BUILT OUT AT ALL.

THE PEAK IS JUST OCCUPIED. THIS IS BUILDING 600. THIS IS SPELLED OUT.

THIS IS A DIRT FLOOR. THERE'S NO CONCRETE. LITERALLY A ROOF.

I WILL WORK WITH THE ENGINEERS. THIS IS TO THE RIGHT SPIRIT VERSUS BUILDING 500.

ONCE AGAIN THE SPEAK SPACES OCCUPIED. TWO DATES FOR TERMINATION.

THIS WILL EITHER BE MAY OR SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR. THEN YOU HAVE THE UTILITIES.

HERE IS THE ESTIMATED TIMELINE. WE HAVE TO GET MORE DETAILS. WE WILL PUT THIS OUT FOR A DESIGN BUILD. SOME OF THIS MAY NOT HAVE FIVE ENGINEERING FEAR MAYBE IT JUST NEEDS PAINT. THAT WILL REDUCE THE TIMELINE. YOU HAVE TWO MONTHS FOR THIS PACKAGE. WORK AND GET IT OUT WITH COMPLIANCE.

THIS WILL GO TO THE VENDOR. YOU WILL SEE, THIS YEAR, WE ARE ANTICIPATING WHERE WE WILL OCCUPY. THIS IS BASED OFF OF THE TENANTS AND WHEN THEY WILL DEPART.

[02:00:02]

I WILL TURN IT OVER TO THE COUNTY ATTORNEY. >> AS PART OF THE PURCHASE AND CLOSING OF THE PROPERTY, IT WAS BUDGETED TO INCLUDE THE FEES THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THE RESOLUTION FOR THE CLOSING COSTS. AT THE CLOSING, AS WELL AS THE THAT SERVICE FEES WERE PAID UP THROUGH SEPTEMBER. THE COUNTY IS OPTING TO UTILIZE THE GOVERNMENT EXEMPTION TO OPT OUT MOVING FORWARD FROM OCTOBER 1, 21.

THE DEBT SERVICE FEE WOULD STILL BE DUE. THE COUNTY HAS REQUESTED THE PAYOFF AMOUNT WHICH HAS BEEN PRESENTED WHICH IS $277,000. THE REQUEST IS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT PAYOFF. IF YOU LOOK AT THE ANALYSIS, IT LOOKS LIKE WE WILL SAVE.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE PRESENT VALUE IT WOULD BE $326,000 AS OPPOSED TO THE $277,000 WHICH WOULD SAVE OVER $48,000. STAFF IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF THE PAYOFF OF THE $277,000.

>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR COURTNEY ON THAT QUACKS. >> THAT WAS IT.

THEY WILL USE THEY DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH CONSTRUCTION AND EXPEDITE THE MOVE AND TRANSITION

OVER THERE. >> THE PLAN IS, THE CLINICAL OPERATION, THE PLAN IS TO BE IN BUILDING 400. THEY WILL BE THE LAST TO MOVE. THAT LOCATION IS IN BETTER SHAPE THAN STATE ROAD 16. WE DON'T WANT TO PUT ANY MONEY IN THAT.

WE WANT TO GET OUT OF THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. >> THEY WILL MOVE IN AND --

>> YES, WE DID A WHILE DRAWING. WE HAVE A LOT OF FRONT SPACE IN THE AREA AND THE OFFICES ARE HUGE. THAT WILL BE MORE OF A RENOVATION.

IT JUST DEPENDS. THIS BUILDING WOULD HAVE A LARGE CONFERENCE AREA.

THEY CAN DO TESTING AND VACCINATIONS. PART OF THE GRAY SPACE WILL BE THIS AREA THAT CAN BE USED FOR MEETINGS. AGAIN, MOST OF WHAT IS HERE ON STATE ROAD 16 IS YOUR DISEASE CONTROL, IT, SCHOOL AND MORE. MOST OF THAT, THE GOOD THING IS

[02:05:12]

TRANSPORT HAS MORE CLINICAL STUFF. >> YES.

>> WILL YOU HAVE GOOD REFRIGERATION SOMEPLACE QUACKS. >> WE DO HAVE DEDICATED CIRCUIT AREAS. WE DO HAVE PLANS TO HELP AREAS ON A GENERATOR.

WE DON'T HAVE GENERATORS IN BUILDING 500 WHILE THEY ARE TRANSIENT.

WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE A SHUFFLE THROUGH 2021. >> THEN A FINAL PLAN.

>> SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE WAY SMARTER THAN ME WILL WEIGH IN ON THAT.

GREAT WORK. BUT YOUR WORK IS JUST STARTING. WE WILL MOVE TO NEW BUSINESS.

[12.  Consideration of business incentives for Project Belle (J.J. Harris)]

CONSIDERATION OF BUSINESS INCENTIVES FOR PROJECT BELT. >> GOOD AFTERNOON.

I AM HERE WITH JA ASKED USA. WE'VE STARTED PROJECT BELT BACK IN FEBRUARY.

IT WENT QUIET OVER THE SUMMER. BACK IN OCTOBER THEY PICKED UP. THIS IS AN ADVANCED MANUFACTURING FACILITY. LOOKING AT THE AREA, WORKING WITH CHARISSE AND CASSIE WE ACCEPTED AN APPLICATION FROM THE LEADERSHIP TEAM. WE HAVE MET AND TALKED WITH, BASED ON THEIR APPLICATION IS TO DOWNSIZE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO ENSURE THEY CAN MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS THAT WE HAVE FOR BASED ON THAT THE FLOOR INCENTIVES MINIMUM WAGE, THE AVERAGE MINIMUM WAGE, WOULD BE $39,605 ANNUALLY FOR $19, 5 CENTS PER HOUR.

WITH THAT THEY PROPOSED 70 JOBS. FOURTEEN SKILLED PRODUCTION ESTIMATED.

4TH QUARTER 2021 THROUGH 2ND QUARTER 2025. INITIAL BUILDING $30 MILLION.

40 MILLION IN EQUIPMENT $70 MILLION TOTAL. THERE WILL BE NO AIR POLLUTION.

NO OWNERS. NO HAZARDOUS WASTE. NO ADVERSE EFFECTS ON WATER OR SEWAGE. THIS IS A BOTTLE MANUFACTURING FACILITY AND ONE QUESTION WAS WATER AND USAGE. THEY HAVE A LARGE WATER USAGE BUT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE USAGE PERMIT THEY HAVE DOUBLE THE CAPACITY WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE UTILITIES AND CLAY ELECTRIC AND THEY ALSO PORTED. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH COUNTY ENGINEERING. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT COURTNEY'S OVERSIGHT WHEN IT

[02:10:02]

THEY SCORED 28 POINTS. PRETTY MUCH MAXED OUT ON JOBS AND EMPLOYMENT.

INITIALLY THE FACILITY WAS DESIGNED, I LOOK BACK AND WE LOCATED MULTIPLE SITES.

ONCE WE STARTED NARROWING DOWN SPECIFIC USES AND QUANTITIES THEY NEEDED FOR WATER CONNOISSEUR AND ELECTRIC AND ROAD ACCESS FOR SEMI TRAILERS THEY DECIDED, TO LOOK AT ONE SITE WE WERE COMPETING AGAINST GEORGIANA SITE DOWN IN DAYTONA. WE WERE VERY HIGH ON THE LIST.

WE ENCOURAGE HER APPROVAL. I WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

>> IS THERE A TIMEFRAME FOR THE DECISION QUACKS. >> MY UNDERSTANDING IS IT WOULD BE THE FIRST FEW WEEKS IN FEBRUARY. SO A VERY SHORT TIMEFRAME.

WHAT COURT OF THIS YEAR, THEY WANT TO BE SHIPPING PRODUCTS. THEY WILL ALSO HAVE CONSTRUCTION OFF CHALLENGER DRIVE. BY THE END OF THE YEAR ATLANTIS WOULD BE DONE.

TEN WHAT IS OUR INCENTIVE PACKAGE WORTH TO THEM QUITE STRICT AND IT'S HARD TO ASSESS BECAUSE THE BUILDING IS NOT BUILT. SINCE IT IS NEW WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING LIKE IT TO COMPARE. ALL I CAN GO OFF OF IS THE REIMBURSEMENT.

WHAT'S IT IS BILLED AT ASSESS, AND THEY PAY THEIR TAXES IT WOULD BE 75% REIMBURSEMENT FOR TEN YEARS. THEN FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, ANOTHER 50% BUT THE DOLLAR

AMOUNT, I WON'T KNOW UNTIL IT IS BUILT AND A SUSPECT. >> ARE WE COMPETITIVE WITH

DAYTONA AND GEORGIA AND OUR PACKAGE QUACKS. >> I DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFIC SITES, SO I CAN'T REALLY ANSWER THAT. BASED ON EVERYTHING I KNOW WE WERE MEETING TIMELINES. ANYTHING WE'RE NOT SURE IF WE GET AN ANSWER QUICKLY.

I CAN SAY THE WHOLE COUNTY TEAM HAS BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY TO ADDRESS THAT.

I THINK THAT IS WHERE WE ARE MOST RESPONSIVE, EVEN IF LOGISTICS ARE MORE EXPENSIVE IN OUR AREA. OUR RESPONSIVENESS TO THEIR NEEDS, OUR TIMELINESS AND HOW WE RESPOND AND WE FIND SOLUTIONS. IT IS A GOOD WORKING PARTNERSHIP AND THEY BELIEVE IN A SPIRIT.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS QUACKS. >> THERE IS A HEAVY LOGISTICS REQUIREMENT.

IS THE ROAD, ARE THEY GOING TO BUILD THAT ROAD TO HANDLE THE LOGISTICS THAT THIS PLANT WILL

REQUIRE QUACKS. >> RICHARD SAYS YES. >> I AM NOT HER ROAD CONSTRUCTION ENGINEER. SO IT IS DESIGNED SINCE IT IS A MIXED USE AREA.

YOU CAN SEE A LARGE PRICE TAG WITH THE THIRD OF THE MILE. I JUST HAVE TO GO WITH, HE SAID

YES. >> THE NUMBER OF TRUCKS IS WHAT I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT.

300 PER DAY, IS THAT WHAT I HEARD QUACKS. >> I DON'T KNOW, BUT I WILL FIND

OUT FOR YOU. >> HOWARD, WE COULD NOT HEAR YOU.

GO AHEAD. >> I BELIEVE THE NUMBER OF TRUCKS WAS 35 PER DAY.

ALSO WITH REGARDS TO THE ROAD, THERE ARE STILL ( INDISCERNIBLE ), WE HAVE INFORMED THEM THAT WE

[02:15:15]

>> THAT'S MY CONCERN. AS LONG AS WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT, WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE

GETTING OURSELVES INTO, WE NEED TO PLAN FOR THAT. >> I THINK IT WILL BE A 24 HOUR OPERATION. THE SHIFT WILL BE SPLIT AND YOU WILL GET HALF OF ITS PERSONNEL.

HOPEFULLY, A MAJOR PART WILL HAPPEN AT NIGHT. >> WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS AND NECESSITIES. THEY HAVE BEEN HERE THREE TIMES. EACH TIME THEY COME, WE HAVE A REVIEW COMMITTEE, WE HAD A PRE-MEETING SO THEY PRESENTED A SITE PLAN, THEY WANTED TO WALK THROUGH AND SAY WHAT IF WE DO THIS, HOW DO WE CHECK THIS, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS WHAT IS THE FEES FOR THIS WE HAVE BEEN WALKING DOWN THIS ROAD FOR SEVERAL MONTHS LOOKING AT THE CODE AND REGULATIONS. AGAIN, I JUST LET HER SPEAK ABOUT IT.

>> I DO THINK THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THEY HAVE BEEN IMPRESSED WITH, THEY ARE GIVING US A LOT OF INFORMATION. WE ARE GETTING A LOT AT THE LAST MINUTE BECAUSE IT'S CONFIDENTIAL. YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN AND OUR PLANNING CONFERENCE ROOM.

THAT IS WHAT WE HAD SET UP FOR THIS MEETING TODAY. WE GOT A CALL THAT THERE WERE 15 OF THEM. I CALLED JACKIE AND I SAID WE ARE TAKING OVER THE MEETING ROOM. WE WERE LITERALLY WORKING THROUGH AND AS A TEAM.

AND, I MEAN, RICHARD AND SOME OF THE ENGINEERING PEOPLE, WE WERE REALLY WORKING TOGETHER.

IN THE BEGINNING WE HAD SOME HICCUPS. AS WE WERE WORKING ALONG, I THINK WE GOT SOMEWHERE WHERE WE CAN AGREE. I THINK THAT IS A BIG PART OF THIS. CLAY COUNTY AND THE COMMISSIONERS, I KNOW THEY SPOKE HIGHLY. I THINK EVERYONE HAS BEEN RECEPTIVE, AND TRYING TO GET

INFORMATION QUICKLY. I JUST WANT TO THINK THAT. >> I HAVE TO AGREE, IN MY MEETING, PEOPLE WERE HIGH ON THE FULL TEAM IN THE COUNTY. JJ WORKED WITH COURTNEY AND HER TEAM. I SPECIFIED, WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS AND LOOKING FOR MORE QUALITY COMPANIES LIKE THEY HAVE. I THINK THAT IS A TESTAMENT TO OUR TEAM IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY COULD DO IN TERMS OF ANSWERING QUESTIONS WHEN THEY WERE NEEDED.

SO JJ GIVE ANYTHING ELSE QUACKS. >> THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IS THE INCENTIVE APPLICATION.

THAT IS ANOTHER STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION THAT THEY HAVE OF CAN WE MEET THIS CAN WE MEET THAT. I WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE 82:00 P.M. MEETING.

I WOULD HAVE KNOWN MORE. WHEN I GET HOME, I WILL FOLLOW UP AND KEEP IN COMMUNICATION AND RESPOND BACK AND FORTH. THE INITIAL JOBS THAT THEY HAVE TALKED ABOUT, WE WILL PAY IN EXCESS OF THE $19 AN HOUR. PLUS A NICE BENEFIT PACKAGE THAT THEY HAVE PUT IN THE APPLICATION. IT WILL BE A GOOD COMPANY. IT IS FAMILY-OWNED.

IT IS A US-BASED THIS IS GREAT ON DIVERSIFYING THE INDUSTRY BASE OF THE RECESSION DOES NOT

[02:20:04]

IT MAXES OUT EVERYTHING THEY CAN DO. I THINK IT WILL FAR EXCEED

ANYTHING THEY PUT IN THE APPLICATION. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS QUACKS.

>> I HAVE ANOTHER COMMENT AND I THINK IT IS FAMILY-OWNED. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT.

THEY HAVE A PLAN. THEY DEVELOPED IT OUT OF A SINGLE FACILITY TO A FOOTPRINT.

I THINK THEY WILL BE VERY INVOLVED WITH THE COMMUNITY. I THINK THIS IS A GOOD CATCH FOR US. I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN MANY PARTNERSHIPS AND THIS RANKS VERY HIGH IN MY BOOK AS TO THE PROBABILITY OF SUCCESS. THEY HAVE GOOD MANAGEMENT AND

THEY ENGAGE IN THE RIGHT WAY. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS QUACKS.

>> YOU ALL KNOW I HAVE A HEART FOR MANUFACTURING AND I THINK THIS IS A FABULOUS WIN.

THIS IS THE KIND OF PROJECT THAT WILL BRING THE 40-50 PERCENTAGE CHANGES, OF THE RESIDENT TO LEAVE THE COUNTY FOR WORK, COMING BACK. I THINK THIS IS A GREAT WHEN CONGRATULATIONS AND I MOVE WE APPROVE THE APPLICATION. ALL IN FAVOR PLEASE SAY AYE.

IT CARRIES 5-0. >> I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT INCLUDES BOTH GRANTS.

>> ABSOLUTELY. >> THE SECOND WAS ON BOTH GRANTS AS WELL.

>> JJ, GREAT WORK. I APPRECIATE THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU BACK

[13.  Budget Resolution - Coronavirus Vaccination Administration (R. Kantor/T. Nagle)]

EVERY MONTH WITH A TAX INCENTIVE PLAN. >> WE WILL NOW TO NUMBER 13, BUDGET RESOLUTION. BUDGET RESOLUTION-CORONAVIRUS FASCINATION ADMINISTRATION.

WE ARE PAST WE ARE PROVIDING THE VACCINE TO THE PUBLIC. THIS WILL BE REIMBURSED FROM FEMA. THE TOTAL WAS $185,000. AND WE ARE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY SPECIFICS ON THE PROGRAM. ANY QUESTIONS QUACKS.

>> DO WE HAVE A MOTION QUACKS. >> MOVED TO APPROVAL. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND APPROVAL. ALL IN FAVOR, THE MOTION CARRIED 4-0.

[14.  Recommended Unified Planning Work Projects to be Submitted to TPO (E. Lehman)]

>> RECOMMENDED UNIFIED PLANNING WORK PROJECTS TO BE SUBMITTED TO TPO.

>> WILL BE OF THIS YEAR IS THE SAME AS LAST YEAR WITH THE EXCEPTION OF NUMBER ONE.

NUMBER ONE LAST YEAR WAS A STUDY ACTUALLY DONE BY THE TPO. WE HAVE A MEETING WITH THE CONSULTING ENGINEER FRIDAY. SO, WE SUBSTITUTED A FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE TRAIL.

THE ONLY WAY WE CAN GET THIS ON THE LIST IS TO DO THIS. WE SPOKE TO THE TPO THERE.

THEY ARE CELEBRATING AND WE THINK THAT SHOULD BE THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY.

WE ALSO HAD A REQUEST FROM THE CITY, SARAH WAS HERE AND SHE WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT HER

REQUEST AND THEN LAND IS HERE TOO. >> OKAY, LET'S GET OUR TALENT

MANAGER. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING US.

THIS IS AN UNUSUAL PROCESS FOR US. WE CANNOT SUBMIT THESE DIRECTLY TO THE TPO. THEY MUST COME THROUGH THE PROGRAM.

WE HAVE THREE PLANS WE WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT. THESE HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL COMING OUT OF OUR 20 YEAR VISION PROJECT THAT WE JUST COMPLETED OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS OR SO. WE PARTNERED WITH HEATHER NEVILL TO HELP US DEVELOP THESE STUDIES. WE DO HAVE A PRIORITY RANKING FROM OUR ELECTED BODY ON HOW THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THESE MOVE FORWARD. THE FIRST STUDY IS THE PARK

[02:25:05]

WE KNOW THE SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING. WE KNOW IT WILL GET BETTER AND WE NEED NEW IDEAS. THIS ISN'T ABOUT ADDING A LANE. THIS IS ABOUT, CAN WE GO OVER, UNDER CAN WE DO PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS AND ROUNDABOUTS. CAN WE GET CREATIVE WITH PARALLEL PATHWAYS. WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE IT FLOW BETTER.

WE HAVE PRESENTED THIS TO JAX AND WE KNOW IT IMPACTS THEIR DAY-TO-DAY ACTIVITIES.

>> THE NEXT IS THE BOUNDARY IDENTIFICATION STUDY. WE THINK THIS AREA WOULD QUALIFY FOR TRANSPORTATION PURPOSES. WE WANT TO EXPLORE THAT OPTION. THE THIRD IS THE RECREATIONAL ENVIRONMENT AND LEISURE PLAN, MORE TO DO WITH MOBILITY AND TRAIL SYSTEMS CONNECTING THE ENVIRONMENT. WE THINK THIS WOULD BE A GREAT STUDY TO PURSUE.

I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. HEATHER SENDS HER REGRETS AND OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPER IS HERE TOO, IN CASE YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

>> I KNOW YOU GOT COMMISSIONER BOLLA'S ATTENTION AS SOON AS YOU SAID ROUNDABOUTS.

>> RANG MY BELL. >> >> 17 IS A PROBLEM.

IT WILL BE A BOTTLENECK. IT IS EXTREMELY CONGESTED RIGHT NOW AND IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE.

WE NEED TO LOOK AT SOME ALTERNATIVE SPIRIT MAYBE HAVE SOMEONE PROFESSIONALLY LOOK AT

THIS AND WHAT CAN WE DO WITH IT. >> MIGHT BE DOES SECRET. >> DO WE HAVE TO BUILD ON EACH

ONE INDEPENDENTLY? >> NO, YOU WILL VOTE ON THE WHOLE PACKAGE.

>> COME ON DOWN. >> GOOD EVENING MR. CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSIONERS.

[15.  Amendment to the Project Priority List to Add Airport Road (E. Lehman)]

THIS PROJECT. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR DAVID? DAVID, GIVE US A THUMBNAIL AS TO

WHAT YOU THINK THE SECOND ACCESS WOULD MEAN? >> CERTAINLY.

RIGHT NOW, OBVIOUSLY WITH ONLY ONE ENTRANCE AND EXIT, WE HAVE TWO CREEKS THAT FLOW UNDER THAT ROW. IF WE HAD ANY ISSUES, THE REPORT SHOWS THERE ARE SOME ISSUES AND THEY WILL CONTINUE TO ESCALATE. HAVING THE SECOND ENTRANCE WOULD ALLOW MORE TRAFFIC.

IT WOULD ALSO BE VERY CONVENIENT TO THE NATIONAL GUARD BECAUSE THAT EASTER SIDE OF THE AIRPORT, IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED. WE SHARE A COMMON FENCE LINE. IT WILL ALSO OPEN UP AREAS OFF OF 21 DOWNCAST LINED ROAD IF THAT IS THE ROUTE BEING LOOKED AT FOR FUTURE RESIDENTIAL AS

WELL AS COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THAT AREA. >> VERY GOOD.

>> COULD YOU TALK ABOUT, THE FACT THAT YOU ALL HAD A JOB GRANT TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE AIRPORT AND THEN YOU LOST THE GRANT, WILL THIS HELP WITH THAT POTENTIAL FOR WHEN A NEW FIRE

STATION COMES OUT THERE? >> I REALLY DON'T KNOW. WE MET YESTERDAY THE AVIATION REPRESENTATIVES AS WELL AS THE FAA UNSECURED GAMING PLAN, WHILE THAT IS IN THE MIX, WE ARE UNCERTAIN, WITH RESPECT TO THE DO GRANT, THAT IS BRADFORD COUNTY.

[02:30:08]

>> THE HEADQUARTERS IS STILL IN BRADFORD COUNTY, OR ARE THEY LOOKING AT CLAY?

>> IT IS PRESENTLY IN CLAY COUNTY AT THIS TIME. >> THE NEW AND THEY WANT TO BUILD QUICK STANDS THERE LOOKING AT A NEW CAMPUS AND THEY ARE TRYING TO FINALIZE WHAT THE CAMPUS WILL LOOK LIKE. THEY ARE WORKING WITH AN ENGINEERING FIRM TO FINALIZE THE PLANS. ACTUALLY, THEY WILL DETERMINE WHERE ON THE AIRPORT THAT WOULD

BEST WORK. >> THIS WOULD BE HUGE. THIS IS THE ONLY COMMERCIAL AIRPORT IN CLAY COUNTY. YOU WOULD NOT -- IT CUTS 30 MINUTES OFF OF THE TRIP, BY HEIGHTS IF YOU DRIVE THE SPEED LIMIT. THEN GOING BACK OUT.

>> WE ARE THE ONLY GENERAL AVIATION AIRPORTS -- AIRPORT IN BRADFORD OR CLAY COUNTY.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> I THOUGHT I READ SOMEWHERE ABOUT A RUNWAY EXTENSION.

>> IN OUR MASTER PLAN, THERE WAS A PROJECT THEREFORE A RUNWAY EXTENSION.

WITH THE REGULATIONS THAT THE FAA PUTS OUT AS FAR AS TRAFFIC AND AIRCRAFT TRAFFIC AND THE TYPE, THEIR FUNDING WOULD NOT SUPPORT THAT AT THIS TIME. SO, WE HAVE PUT THAT OFF ANOTHER

FIVE YEARS. >> IS THIS AN OVERHEAD SHOT? >> THIS IS THE PROPOSED ROAD FROM STATE ROAD 121 AND DOWNCAST LINED ROAD. IT DEADENS AND THEN THERE IS A DIRT ROAD WITH THE RESIDENCE THERE BEFORE IT HITS THE CAMP LANDING FENCE AND PROPERTY LINE.

>> OF THE GREEN ROAD OR THE YELLOW ROAD? >> THE GREEN ROAD IS IN CAMP LANDING. IT IS ON THEIR PROPERTY. THE YELLOW IS THE FLORIDA TRANSMISSION GAS LINE THAT RUNS THROUGH THE AIRPORT. IT COULD PARALLEL TO THAT.

THERE HAS BEEN DISCUSSION ON ACTUALLY USING THE ROAD. ALL OF THOSE DETAILS AND LOGISTICS HAVE BEEN FINALIZE. IT IS A PROPOSAL WE THINK WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO CLAY COUNTY AS

WELL AS THE AIRPORT AND NATIONAL PARK. >> VERY GOOD.

ANYTHING ELSE FOR DAVID? LEN, DID YOU HAVE MORE? >> ANY MOTIONS.

>> I MOVE WE APPROVE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION TO UPDATE THE SYSTEM, JUST TO SUBMIT THE LIST

AND THAT INCLUDES THE TWO PROJECTS. >> I SECOND.

>> ALL PROJECTS FOR THE AIRPORT. >> A MOTION AND A SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE, IT CARRIES 500.

>> THIS SHOULD LOOK FAMILIAR. THE MEMO. YOU ADOPTED THIS JANUARY 26 AS THE TRANSPORTATION PARTY PROJECT. HOWEVER, A SHIRT -- SHORT-TERM IMPROVEMENT, IS A PROJECT THAT WE HAD ON PAGE THREE. IT IS AIRPORT ROAD REALIGNMENT AND RECONSTRUCTION OF AIRPORT ROAD. AGAIN, THIS PROVIDES A CONNECTION FROM STATE ROAD 100 AND THE CITY. WE HAS THIS TO BE PUT ON OUR PARTY LIST. LYNN, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS.

>> GOOD EVENING. LAST SUMMER WE CONDUCTED A STUDY OF THE KEYSTONE AIRPORT EVALUATING THEIR ACCESS POINTS. THIS SCENARIO CAME OUT OF THE STUDY AS A RECOMMENDATION.

THIS IS SCENARIO FOUR. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE REDESIGN OF AIRPORT ROAD GIVING IT A BETTER ACCESS POINT AND ALLOWING THE PROPERTY TO BE OPEN FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.

[02:35:07]

WE DID KNOW IT'S A RECENTLY THERE ARE FOLDABLE BIKES THAT PEOPLE TOLD IN THEIR AIRPLANE.

WE FIND THEY WILL OFTEN COME TO KEYSTONE AIRPORT AND RIDE DOWN THE ROAD AND VISIT OVER TRAILS.

THIS WILL ALLOW BETTER SENSIBILITY TO THAT AS WELL. MR. KIRKLAND IS HERE TO ANSWER

ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. >> I JUST WANT TO NOTE, DO EITHER OF YOU HAVE A FOLDABLE

BICYCLE? >> I HAVE ONE SOMEPLACE. IT IS SMALL AND TOUGH TO RIDE.

>> NO. >> DO YOU WANT TO GIVE US AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT WE ARE

LOOKING AT? >> AIRPORT ROAD, WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT IN THE 40S WHEN THE AIRPORT WAS FIRST CONSTRUCTED AND USED FOR A TRAINING FACILITY.

SINCE THEN, THE BEST WE COULD FIND IS A RESURFACING PROJECT. THE LANES ARE 10 FEET WIDE.

NO SHOULDER SIDEWALKS, NO LIGHTING. DRAINAGE IS A BIG ISSUE.

SOMETHING WE HAVE TO LOOK AT. WE APPRECIATE TPO COMING IN AND DOING AN EXTENSIVE REPORT.

THEY HAVE REPORTED THE EDGES OF THE ROAD ARE STARTING TO CRACK AND DETERIORATE AS WELL AS COVERTS ON THE ROAD. THEY PROVIDED FOUR PROPOSALS AND FOUR SCENARIOS TO RESOLVING THE ISSUES THAT ARE THERE. AS LYNN MENTIONED, THE FOURTH ONE, WITH DOING THE FULL CONSTRUCTION WHICH WOULD MAKE THE LANES 12 FEET WIDE, YOU WOULD HAVE AN EMERGENCY ROAD SECTION, OR PORTION OF THE ROAD AND THE SHOULDERS. IT WOULD INCLUDE LIGHTING FOR SAFETY. IT IS A GOOD PROJECT. IT IS A PROJECT THAT IS NEEDED.

>> ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >> IS THAT THE YELLOW THING? WHAT IS A LOOP?

>> THAT IS LISTED BECAUSE THE MASTER PLAN INCLUDED THE POSSIBILITY OF THE RUNWAY BEING EXTENDED. IT IS NOT THAT IT COMES ALL THE WAY OUT, BUT YOU CAN HAVE OBSTRUCTIONS AND BECAUSE OF THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO JOG THAT ROAD AROUND TO CLEAR IT.

WE DISCUSSED THAT WITH TPO AND MADE THEM AWARE THAT THERE IS PROBABLY A GOOD POSSIBILITY IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN IN THE TIMEFRAME. SO IT'S THERE AND THEY INCLUDED

IT. >> IS A 5,000 FEET ALONG? >> YES.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. >> DO WE HAVE A DISCUSSION OR

MOTION? >> MOVE FOR APPROVAL. WE WILL CALL THE VOTE.

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. IT CARRIES 5-0. >> THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR

TIME TODAY. WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. >> I WILL MOVE BECAUSE I THINK THE DISCUSSION ON ITEMS 16-18 WILL TAKE SOME TIME. I WILL MOVE TO NUMBER 19 PRODUCT

[19.  Product Development Grant - Orange Park Mall's The Grove Project (K. Morgan)]

DEVELOPMENT GRANT OF ORANGE PARK MALLS THE GROVE PROJECT. >> HELLO COMMISSIONERS.

KIMBERLY MORGAN FROM TOURISM. THE TBC HAS BROUGHT BEFORE YOU A RECOMMENDATION TO AWARD A PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT GRANT IN THE AMOUNT OF $125,000 FOR THE ORANGE PARK MALL PROJECT.

THEY RECOMMENDED THAT THE PAYMENT NOT BE PROVIDED UNTIL THE PROJECT WAS DONE.

THEY SUBMITTED THEIR APPLICATIONS AND THE TDC IS MAKING THAT RECOMMENDATION.

>> WHAT IS THE TOTAL COST? >> IT IS ONE POINT $3 MILLION. >> RANDY IS HERE.

[02:40:09]

>> GIVE US A RUNDOWN. >> THE AMPHITHEATER IS DESIGNED TO BECOME AN ENTERTAINMENT SPACE. NOT JUST FOR CONCERTS BUT FOR MULTIPLE USE.

IT COULD BE OPEN FOR FAMILIES WHO NEEDED FOR HAVING A PLACE TO GO RUNNING OUT.

IT WOULD CONSIST OF PADS WHERE YOU WOULD NEED GENERATORS. &-@. THE FRONT OF THE AMPHITHEATER WOULD BE 10,000 SQUARE FEET. IN THE SUMMER MONTHS WE DO HAVE BRAINSTORMS THAT COME.

WE WANTED A PLACE WHERE WE COULD RUN OFF AN OLD EVENTS WITHOUT DELAYS.

WE ALSO HAVE SHIPPING CONTAINERS THAT HAVE RETAIL AND RESTAURANT SPACE UNDERNEATH.

IT IS DESIGNED TO BE MULTI USE. WE THINK IT IS BENEFICIAL TO OUR PROPERTY IN COUNTY.

SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND MUCH NEEDED IN THIS ENVIRONMENT. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR RANDY?

>> THIS REQUIRES A FOR-PROFIT TAX RETURNS. MY ANTENNA WENT UP WHEN I SAW THIS. THEY WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE.

I AM NOT SURE WHAT WE GLEAN FROM THE TAX RETURNS. I WILL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, A LOT OF CORPORATIONS DO NOT WANT THIS. THIS THEN BECOMES PUBLIC

KNOWLEDGE. >> ANYONE CAN GO TO THE WEBSITE. >> HE DID HAVE A PROBLEM DOING IT BECAUSE IT IS PUBLIC INFORMATION. THERE ARE OTHER ENTITIES.

I DON'T KNOW, MY ISSUE IS, WHAT DO WE USE IT FOR AND WHY DO WE ASK FOR IT.

>> THANK YOU FOR ASKING THE QUESTION. THEY CREATED THE GRANT SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU APPROVED TONIGHT. IT WAS INCENTIVE DOLLARS FOR HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM BUSINESSES TO GROW OR COME TO CLAY COUNTY AND DO BUSINESS HERE.

BUT TDC THOUGHT IT FIT. WE HAVE RESEARCHED OTHER PROCESSES FOR SIMILAR PROGRAS.

WE NEED TO KNOW THE COMPANY WE WOULD GIVE MONEY TO WAS SOUND. THAT IS ONE OF THE SCORING

FACTORS. WE CAN DEFINITELY REVISIT THAT. >> MY POINT IS THEY DID NOT

REVIEW THEM. >> HAVE BEEN ON THE TDC FOR FOR YEARS AND I WAS ON THE BOARD THAT APPROVED THAT. ONE OF THE REASONS IT WAS PUT IN THERE, THERE COULD BE AN APPLICATION FROM A COMPANY THAT IS A START UP AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THEY COULD WITHSTAND IT. AND RANDY ASKED HIS LEGAL TEAM TO GET THE PAPERS READY.

WE DID NEED THEM BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE ARE DEALING WITH THE LARGEST TAXPAYER IN THE COUNTY. SO IN THAT RESPECT, THAT IS WHY WE ASKED FOR IT.

IT COULD BE A COMPANY THAT WANTS TO BACK UP WHAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR.

WE NEED TO KNOW WE WERE DEALING WITH. >> IF THAT IS LEGITIMATE, WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE GET THESE. MAYBE I IT WASN'T THERE WE WOULD'VE THOUGHT OF MOVING

FORWARD. WE HAD NO PROBLEM DOING THIS. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR RANDY

[02:45:03]

THEY NEED BEFORE THEY CAN REQUEST THE REIMBURSEMENT. >> WHEN DO THEY THINK IT WILL BE

COMPLETE? >> LATER IN THE 3RD QUARTER. WE HAVE OUR FIRST DESIGN QUARTER WE HAVE APPLIED FOR OUR PERMITS, PAID OUR MONEY. WE ARE STARTING TO LAY THE

GROUNDWORK NOW. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR RANDY OR KIMBERLY?

>> WE HAVE A MOTION. >> I'VE MOVED FOR APPROVAL. >> I SECOND PERIOD.

>> ANY OTHER? >> ANY OPPOSE? THE MOTION CARRIES 5-0.

THANK YOU. >> WE WILL BACKTRACK NOW TO NUMBER 16.

[16.  Five Year Park Lease Agreements and Lease Approval Resolutions where the County will maintain the Premises for Omega Park, Paul C. Armstrong Community Park, Oakleaf Community Park, Little Rain Lake Park, Carl Pugh Community Park and Twin Lakes Soccer Park (K. Morgan)]

[17.  Five Year Park Lease Agreements and Lease Approval Resolutions where the Athletic Association will maintain the Premises for Plantation Sports Complex, Walter Odum Community Park, Eagle Harbor Soccer Complex and Tanglewood Community Park (K. Morgan)]

[18.  Fleming Island Athletic Association, Inc. Sublease Agreement and Approval Resolution-Neptune Park (K. Morgan)]

>> THANK YOU COMMISSIONERS. WE DO HAVE A PRESENTATION AND SOME UPDATED NUMBERS.

OUR PRESENTATION IS THE GOAL TO GIVE YOU THE BIG PICTURE. GIVE YOU YOUR OPTIONS.

WE WILL GO THROUGH STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION. WE WANT TO PAINT THE PICTURE OF WHERE WE ARE NOW. WHERE ARE WE NOW. RIGHT NOW, WE ARE CURRENTLY IN A UNIQUE LEASE SYSTEM THAT IS TIERED. WE HAVE A THRESHOLD OF REVENUE OR RECEIPTS AS A MEASUREMENT FOR WHO COULD PAY FOR THEIR OWN GROUND MAINTENANCE AND IT WILL NOT. THEY LEASE THE PARK FOR $1 AND THERE GROSSES LESS THAN 50,000 ANNUALLY. THE COUNTY MAINTAINED THE MAINTENANCE FOR THEM.

TIER TWO, THEY HAVE GROSS RECEIPTS OF MORE THAN 50,000 AND THEY TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN EXPENSES. WE HAVE LISTED THOSE FOR YOU. THE TEARS ARE NOT DEFINED IN THE CURRENT LEASE DOCUMENTS. WHEN AN ORGANIZATION, EXCEEDS THE $50,000 THRESHOLD, THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN MOVE THEM BECAUSE IT IS NOT WRITTEN IN THE LEASE. THAT HAS BECOME PROBLEMATIC.

THE CONCERNS OVER THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN VOICED. WE MET IN DECEMBER 2019 WITH THE ASSOCIATION LEADERSHIP. WE TALKED ABOUT MOVING THE THRESHOLD AND MOVING IT TO $100,000. WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT HOW DO WE EFFECTIVELY MOVE IF WE KEEP THE THRESHOLD AT 50. DO WE MOVE ASSOCIATIONS UP OR DOWN.

SO, THOSE WERE OUR CONCERNS. SPECIFICALLY, BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL WERE THE TWO THAT WERE SUCCESSFUL ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FROM TIER ONE TO TIER TWO. THIS PAINTS THE PICTURE.

HOPEFULLY YOU CAN SEE THIS. THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION. WE LIST IT BY PARK.

THE FIRST THREE THAT ARE LISTED ARE WHAT WE CALLED NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT RUN AN ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. THE REMAINING LIST IS THE VITAL ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE NONPROFIT THAT WORK EVERY DAY, VERY HARD TO PRODUCE RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE KIDS IN

[02:50:07]

WE ARE SHARING THE REPORTED GROSS RECEIPTS REVENUE. WE REQUIRED THAT THEY SUPPLIED THIS INFORMATION. WE ALSO LOOKED AT THE ESTIMATED COSTS TO PLAY BALL, THIS UPCOMING SEASON. YOU DO HAVE THAT INFORMATION. WE ARE USING THE 2018 REGISTRATION NUMBERS FOR ALL SPORTS THAT WERE REGISTERED AT THAT PARK, SO YOU CAN HAVE THOSE NUMBERS AS WELL. WE HAVE ALSO PUT TOGETHER THOSE SAME PARKS, GIVE YOU THE TOTAL SIZE. THE FIELD SURFACE. THEN WE GET INTO EXPENSES.

THE YELLOW HIGHLIGHTS ARE THOSE THAT CURRENTLY PAY FOR THEIR GROUND MAINTENANCE.

THE LITTLE GREEN ONE, THAT WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT NUMBER DOES NOT INCLUDE DRAINAGE OR CONSTRUCTION. I SAY THAT BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF EXPENSES.

THIS IS JUST GROUND MAINTENANCE FOR THE FIELDS. NOT EVEN THE ENTIRE PARK.

JUST THE FIELDS. THE CHEMICAL CAUSE AND FACILITY REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE.

THE CONCESSION STANDS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. WE HAVE THAT TOTAL FOR YOU.

THEN WE HAVE -- ALL OF THESE NUMBERS ARE BASED ON 2018-2019 BECAUSE THAT WAS THE LAST NORMAL TIMEFRAME ON RECORD SINCE COVID. WE DID SOME ESTIMATED FUTURE COSTS BASED ON THIS.

YOU WILL SEE THAT THE EXPENSE ARE DIFFERENT. THERE'S ALSO ABOUT EXPECTED REVENUE LINE. THE MAIN THING -- WE SUBTRACTED THAT OUT.

WE WILL GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION SO YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS.

WHY ARE WE CHANGING NOW? CURRENTLY IS ARE INCONSISTENT. EVERYONE IS NOT ON THE SAME TIMELINE. SUBLEASES ARE ALLOWED UNDER THE CURRENT LEASE.

THAT LEAVES THE COUNTY VULNERABLE BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHO IS ON OUR PROPERTY AND WHO IS NOT. ALSO, THE COST SHARE RIGHT NOW IS WITH FIVE ASSOCIATIONS TOTALING A LITTLE OVER $200,000. FIVE ASSOCIATIONS ARE IN THE MODEL NOW.

MANAGER FOR PARKS AND RECREATION, THEY WORKED ON THIS FOR TWO YEARS.

TALKING WITH THE ASSOCIATIONS. DOING RESEARCH, ON WHAT WORKS AND WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE DOING.

OTHER COMMUNITIES HAVE DIFFERENT STRUCTURES. THERE IS ONE STRUCTURE USUALLY, WHERE WE HAVE MULTIPLE LEASE STRUCTURES. THERE ARE SOME COMMUNITIES THAT DO RENTAL AGREEMENTS WHERE THE COUNTY RUNS EVERYTHING IN EACH ASSOCIATION AS TO PAY RENT EACH TIME WHETHER THERE IS A PRACTICE OR GAME, OR ANY USAGE OF THE PROPERTY, THEY HAVE TO RENT IT.

NOWHERE IN OUR RESEARCH DID WE FIND THERE WERE ANY TIERED SYSTEMS. THAT WAS A RED FLAG FOR US. THERE WERE A LOT OF EXAMPLES THAT THE FEES MODELED THAT RANGE

[02:55:08]

WITH THAT. WE ARE PRESENTING THREE DIFFERENT MODELS.

THE FIRST MODEL IS THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GROUND MAINTENANCE.

WE GET TO REDIRECT OUR GROUP, TO OTHER PROJECTS AND WE COULD STILL SHARE REVENUE FROM A THIRD PARTY. THE CON IS THIS IS A COST TO THE ASSOCIATION.

THERE IS A RISK OF NOT -- OF THE FIELDS NOT BEING PROPERLY MAINTAINED.

WHO PEAK -- TRACK WHO CONTROLS THIS FEAR THE COUNTY DELIVERS CONSISTENCY AND UNIFORMITY OF THE PARK. UNDER THIS MODEL, WE COULD SHARE IN ADDITIONAL COSTS REVENUE OR REVENUE SHARING FOR THE SUBLEASES. THE CON IS THERE ARE INCREASES IN THE BUDGET AND THERE'S INCREASES IN THE GROUND MAINTENANCE BUDGET.

NOT ONLY FROM A PERSONAL STANDPOINT BUT FROM EQUIPMENT, AND NEW SERVICES HAVING TO BE PROVIDED. THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE A TIMELINE IN ORDER FOR US TO PREPARE THE BUDGET TO MAKE THAT SHIFT. SO IT WOULD TAKE LONGER.

THE OPTION THAT STAFF IS RECOMMENDING IS OPTION THREE WHERE THE COUNTY COST SHARE WITH A PRE-REGISTRATION FEE. EVERYONE, ALL OF THE ASSOCIATIONS, EVERYONE WILL A CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL. THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO SHARE REVENUE FROM SUBLEASES. WE WOULD ESTABLISH A STANDARDIZED THE SYSTEM.

UNDER THE PROPOSAL, THE COST SHARE GOES FROM $224,000 TO EVERYONE SHARING IN THE COST.

THE CON IS, THIS IS AN ADDED COST. WE UNDERSTAND THAT, WE ALSO KNOW THAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO HAVE SKIN IN THE GAME. MORE DETAILS.

WE ARE PUTTING EVERYONE ON A FIVE YEAR LEASE. AGAIN, BUT SUBLEASES WOULD BE BY THE COUNTY ONLY. ADDITIONAL NEW LEASES, WOULD HAVE FEATURES AND WE DO HAVE AN AFFIDAVIT THAT WE HAVE ADDED TO INCLUDE WITH BACKGROUND CHECKS, PREVIOUSLY THERE WAS NO AFFIDAVIT NEEDED. THEY JUST SUBMITTED THE INFORMATION.

WE THINK THIS ADDS AN EXTRA LEVEL OF SECURITY. CHILDREN'S SAFETY IS SO IMPORTANT. VERIFICATION OF SAFETY FOR COACHES, USUALLY THIS EXPENSE IS INCLUDED IN THE LINK REGISTRATION. IT IS AGAIN, MANDATED BY THE

GOVERNING BODIES THAT THESE ASSOCIATIONS WORK WITH. >> INTERNET REPORTING, WE HAVE BEEN INCLUDED AS WELL AS EQUIPMENT AND ACCESS -- TRACK ASSETS.

YOU ALSO HAVE, IN YOUR DOCUMENT A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS. WE HAVE MET WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE

[03:00:04]

WE PROVIDED YOU GUYS WITH I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

>> FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR GOING THROUGH THESE STEPS AND PUTTING IT IN ON PLACE TO

DIGEST. IT IS APPRECIATED. >> DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. WE WILL BRING UP SOME PEOPLE TO ASK QUESTIONS IF NEED BE.

>> COMMISSIONER BOLLA HAS A QUESTION. >> WHAT'S THE ADVANTAGE OF GOING INTO A DIFFERENT LEASE. IF WE HAVE ALL OF THESE CHANGES WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE, WHY DON'T WE RUN THIS AS AN RFP ONCE A YEAR AND EVERYONE BID ON THIS FIELD THE ARRANGEMENTS AND THE PROBLEMS OF TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH DIFFERENT SCENARIOS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT.

>> THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION. I WOULD SAY STAFF TIME, IT IS TIME-CONSUMING IF WE HAVE THE EXISTING MODEL, AND WE ARE RENEWING IT OR ASKING FOR NEW ASSOCIATIONS TO COMMIT I THINK

-- >> THIS IS THE AGREEMENT. YOU GUYS WANT TO DO IT?

HERE IT IS. >> PART OF THE PROBLEM IS, YOU WOULD NOT GET ASSOCIATIONS TO GOVERNMENT BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT PLAN FROM YEAR-TO-YEAR. NUMBER TWO, IT WOULD TASK STAFF OF THE LOGISTICS OF GETTING IT DONE ON LEVEL WITH WHATEVER THE SEASONS ARE WHETHER IT IS BASEBALL OR SOCCER, I THINK IT WOULD BE TOUGHER THAN WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO HERE.

I THINK IF WE WENT TO FIVE YEAR, IF SOMEONE DOESN'T DO WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO, THAT WAY THE ASSOCIATIONS HAVE SECURITY SO THEY CAN RUN THEIR PROGRAM AND WE CAN STILL HAVE A LEVEL OF

CONTROL. >> WE REALLY LOOK AT THIS AS A PARTNERSHIP.

WE WANT OUR RELATIONSHIP TO BE A PARTNERSHIP. >> THE LEASE SAYS IT IS NOT A PARTNERSHIP. SO THAT VIOLATES THE LEASE. IT SAYS DIRECTLY IN THE LEASE.

NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COUNTY. >> I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT.

IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE CONVERSATION AND I'M REALLY TRYING TO KEEP MY EMOTIONS IN CHECK. YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS BUT IT SPECIFICALLY SAYS, THIS IS NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS A PARTNERSHIP OR ANY OTHER RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COUNTY.

>> I MISSPOKE. I DID NOT MEAN THAT AS A LEGAL TERM.

I MEANT IT AS A RELATIONSHIP, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO WORK COOPERATIVELY TOGETHER.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS IMPORTANT TO MANY OF THE ASSOCIATIONS, IS THAT, IN ORDER TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN THE ASSOCIATIONS HAVE TO FUND RAISE. TO GET THE HIGH DOLLAR SPONSORSHIPS THEY HAVE TO SHOW THERE IS A COMMITMENT FROM THE COUNTY TO DO BUSINESS WITH THEM.

>> THEY JUST HAVE TO COME UP WITH THE BEST BID AND THEN STAFF CAN WATCH THE PAPERWORK THAT WE

CAN AFFORD. >> I THINK YOU WOULD HAVE MORE STAFF AND MORE PAPERWORK BECAUSE

[03:05:10]

WE WOULD END UP RUNNING ALL OF THE PROGRAMS. >> BUT WE WOULD MAKE MORE MONEY

DOING IT. >> I DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THAT. YOU DO HAVE PEOPLE OUT HERE THAT WOULD DISAGREE WITH THAT. THEY CAN TAILOR THIS TO THEIR SITUATION AND THEY HAVE MORE

PASSION ABOUT WHAT THEY HAVE. >> IN THE WORST CASE SCENARIO, THIS IS WHERE THEY STARTED FROM.

NOBODY ELSE COMES IN AND BIDS HIGHER. THAT IS WHERE THEY ARE NOW.

I THINK YOU ARE SPENDING FUNDS FOOLISHLY IF YOU THINK THEY WILL SPEND MORE.

THEY WILL JUST GET TOGETHER AND SAY, WE WON'T. >> THEY'VE MADE $43 MILLION FROM

THE PROGRAM LAST YEAR? >> NO. THEY'RE RUNNING EVERYTHING.

I WOULD HESITATE TO SAY IF YOU BROUGHT THAT DOWN TO WHAT THEY DID, IT WOULD BE THIS IS A BUSINESS AND THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING. IF WERE DEALING WITH THEM AS A BUSINESS WE SHOULD. THAT IS ALL. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THE PEOPLE

WHO HAVE CARDS AND TALK TO THEM AS WELL. >> MY FIRST CARD,.

>> COULD YOU IDENTIFY YOURSELF AND GIVE US AN ADDRESS. >> I'M CARRIE.

I AM THE SECRETARY FOR THE SPORTS ASSOCIATION. LOCATED 6725 LANE ROAD.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO STATE, I WAS PART OF THIS MEETING ONLINE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

I KEEP HEARING THE WORD CONSISTENCY ACROSS-THE-BOARD. I THINK THAT IS UNFAIR.

I CAN'T SPEAK FOR EVERY OTHER WHEN BUT EVERY ASSOCIATIONS DIFFERENT.

WE ARE, OUR ASSOCIATION WE RUN OFF OF THE WELL SYSTEM. WHO PAYS FOR THAT.

THAT IS A BIG COST. MOVING FORWARD, WE HAVE MORE EXPENSES FOR US BUT COMPARED TO THE OTHER ASSOCIATIONS OUT HERE. WHEN I SAY THIS SIDE OF THE COUNTY.

I SAY WHERE I AM SAYING. TO SAY THE LEAST I DON'T AGREE WITH A LOT OF THE SPIRIT I AM SURE OTHERS DON'T. THE FEET, TO TELL KIDS, YOU HAVE TO PAY THIS MUCH MONEY, SO THEY CAN UP THIS. IF I READ THAT RIGHT. THIS IS A COST THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE PASSED ON TO THE PARENTS. WE CANNOT TAKE THIS ON WITHOUT PASSING IT ON TO OUR PARENTS WHICH WILL PUT US IN A PLACE WHERE OUR FEES ARE SO MUCH HIGHER AND THAT WE WILL LOSE A LOT OF FAMILIES IF WE WOULD HAVE TO DO THIS FOR THE KIDS TO PLAY BALL.

[03:10:03]

WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON. BUT ONCE THE ASSOCIATION BECAME AWARE OF IT WE WEREN'T SHUT DOWN. WE HAD TO PAY FOR IT DID TAKE SOME WEEKS AND IT TOOK TIME FOR THE COUNTY TO GET OUT THERE AND ADDRESS IT AND WE DON'T KNOW IF IT IS FIXED. GETTING THEM TO DO THEIR PART THEY HAVE BEEN TAKING CARE OF THAT THE COACHES AND THE PARENTS, AND I HATE TO SAY ABOUT THE STANDARD THAT THE COUNTY HAS SHOWN IS UNLIMITED POWER FOR WHAT THE PARENTS AND COACHES WITH LIKE TO SEE.

THE WE STILL HAD SOME TEAMS THAT I SAY WE WERE SHUT DOWN FOR COVID.

OUR COACHES HAD BEEN MAINTAINING THE FIELDS AND A PICTURE WAS POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE COUNTY TOOK CREDIT FOR THE WAY THE PARK WAS LOOKING AND THE TRUTH IS, OUR PARENTS AND COACHES, EVERYTHING SHOULD BE ON THE TAINT -- SAME TIMEFRAME BUT THERE'S SO MUCH TO SAY THERE WOULD BE CONSISTENCY IN THE LEASES. WHAT IS THE COUNTY'S PART IF THEY DON'T DO THEIR PART. NO CONSEQUENCES IF THEY COME INTO DEFAULT.

IT'S A LOT. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF BRINGING OUR SPORTS ASSOCIATION BACKUP FROM COVID AND WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF STARTING THAT. THIS IS A LOT TO PROCESS AS A NEW BOARD ONE OF THE THINGS WE DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY WOULD WE HAVE TO PAY EXTRA I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS TOUCHED ON TODAY BUT IT IS IN THE LEASE IS THAT WE WILL HAVE TO PAY EXTRA COSTS FOR TOURNAMENTS, CLINICS, IF WE WANT TO DO PARENT CHILD GAMES ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF OUR NORMAL LEASE AGREEMENT. WE HAV TO PAY EXTRA FOR THE GRASS DOES NOT GROW SLOWER

[03:15:06]

WE ARE VERY SEASON PARENTS ON THE SPORTS SIDE OF IT AND NEWLY ELECTED BOARD MEMBERS THAT HAVE A LOT ON OUR PLATE RIGHT NOW. WE REALLY WANT TO SEE WHAT IS BEST FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THE YOUTH. THIS WILL BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE ASSOCIATION.

WITHOUT MAJOR. >> I HAVE TALKED TO SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS IN THE PAST ESPECIALLY WITH THE MEETINGS WE'VE HAD WITH THE COUNTY. FIRST OF ALL, I AM A LITTLE SURPRISED ABOUT THE FIVE YEAR LEASE. THERE WAS NOTHING SAID TO ME THAT WE WOULD CHANGE OUR LEASE TO FIVE YEARS. I HAVE REASONS FOR THAT WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT, REVENUE IS AN ISSUE FOR THE COUNTY AND YOU'RE LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES. A LOT OF THE ORGANIZATIONS, WHEN THEY BRING GAMES ANYWHERE, WHETHER IT IS TOURNAMENTS OR LEAGUE GAMES, PEOPLE COME TO EAT , THEY STAY IN HOTELS, ESPECIALLY SOME OF THE TEAMS THAT HAVE TO TRAVEL.

THEY ARE COMING FROM ALL OVER FLORIDA AND GEORGIA. I WILL GET TO THAT.

MY POINT IS, I AM LOOKING AT BULLET .17 AND IT SAYS A FIVE-YEAR LEASE, I UNDERSTAND YOU WANT TO GET ALL LEASES ON A CERTAIN TIMEFRAME SO IT IS CONSISTENT, MAKE IT EASY.

UNDERSTAND, IT TAKES MANPOWER TO MAKE SURE EVERY ORGANIZATION IS COMPLIANT.

LEASES ARE WRITTEN SO THERE ARE CERTAIN FACTORS THAT ORGANIZATIONS NEED TO BE COMPLIANT. FOR MYSELF, FOR A TEN YEAR LEASE, THAT IS WHY WE NEEDED.

FOR US TO GET CERTAIN GRANTS OR TO APPLY FOR CERTAIN ASSISTANCE TO THE ORGANIZATIONS, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A TEN YEAR LEASE. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO LOOK AT SOMEONE WHO HAS A ONE-YEAR LEASE OR A SMALLER LEASE. IT WAS ALWAYS TEN YEARS. I MADE THAT VERY PUBLIC WITH YOUR FOLKS WHEN I HAD MY MEETINGS VERY THAT WAS THE REASON WE NEEDED A TEN YEAR LEASE. WE ARE CERTAIN LEAGUES ARE. WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE.

I WILL ONLY SPEAK TO MY -- I WILL ONLY SPEAK FOR MYSELF. I HAVE BEEN WITH THE COUNTY SINCE 2,003. THERE ARE THREE MAIN CLUBS RIGHT NOW IN SOCCER.

WE SURVIVED BECAUSE, WE KNEW HOW TO PLAN. WE KNEW HOW TO IMPROVE OUR PRODUCT. IT TOOK CHALLENGES FROM THE STAFF INCLUDING MYSELF.

[03:20:03]

AS WE DEVELOP THROUGH THE YEARS, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET INTO HIGHER AND COMPETITIVE LEAGUES.

WHILE THEY WERE AVAILABLE TO OTHER ORGAIZATIONS, WE WERE NOT IN THEM BUT WE WERE ATTAINING THE LEVEL WHERE WE COULD COMPETE IN THEM. RECENTL SOME OF YOU WERE ON THE BOARD WHEN I WAS HERE BEFORE. WE HAD THE TOP LEVEL LEAGUE IN THE UNITED STATES FOR A GIRLS PROGRAM. IT TOOK A WILD TO GET THERE AND WE ATTAINED IT.

NOW DA IS A LONGER IN THE UNITED STATES, WE HAVE REPLACED IT. THE GIRLS ACADEMY LEAGUE.

FOR THE BOYS PROGRAM, WE DID EVERY LEGUE WE COULD TO GET THE BOYS SEEN.

TO MAKE SOME SORT OF FOUNDATION WITH THESE HIGH-LEVEL ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE COULD COMPETE. NOW WE HAVE IT. IT IS CALLED SUNSHINE ACADEMY.

NOW THAT WE HAVE ATTAINED THAT, TO GET AND STAY IN THESE LANES WE HAVE TO HAVE A LONG-TERM LEASE. THEY ARE NOT LOOKING TO BRING IN CLUBS THAT ARE 1-2 YEARS.

THEY WANT PEOPLE WHO WILL PLAY ANYWHERE. THEY HAVE OPPORTUNITIES.

WE HAVE NEVER HAD THAT OPPORTUNITY IN THE PAST. THAT GOES FOR THE GIRLS TOO.

WE HAVE WORKED HARD TO GET TO THAT LEVEL. THE TEN YEAR LEASE IS IMPORTANT.

WE DO IMPROVEMENTS AND SOME DO NOT HAPPEN WITHIN THE YEAR. THEY HAPPEN OVER MULTIPLE YEARS.

THERE ARE PHASES. JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE'S ORGANIZATION.

WE HAVE OUR UNIFORM CONTRACT THAT IS SIX YEARS. THAT IS THE REASON WE NEED A LONG-TERM LEASE. WE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL ALL OF THESE YEARS BECAUSE WE HAVE ALREADY ADDED THAT THERE THERE ARE CLAUSES IN THE CONTRACT AND I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT THAT IS WHAT THE LEASE IS FOR. WE HAVE BEEN ABIDING BY THAT. NOW THE CHANGE TO GO FROM TEN YEARS TO FIVE YEARS WILL IMPACT US. I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW I

HAVE STRONG CONCERNS ABOUT THAT. >> I WOULD LIKE TO BREAK UP THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.

I WANT YOU TO HEAR FROM HIM. HE HAS BEEN ONE OF THE GENTLEMAN THAT STARTED OUT AS A YOUTH COACHING. WENT TO COLLEGE, AND HE CAME BACK TO US.

NOW HE IS OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. HE HAS BEEN THE EYES THAT HAS GOTTEN THIS PROGRAM TO THE HIGH LEVELS. HE HAS OTHER INSIGH ABOUT THAT

AS WELL. >> GOOD EVENING. >> MATT, LAKE POINT PLACE.

I APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT YOU HAVE HAD. WE WOULDN'T BE IN THIS SITUATION WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW. MY MISSION THROUGH SOCCER IS TO HELP THE YOUNG PEOPLE.

WE ARE NOW IN A SITUATION WHERE IT'S NOT JUST THE LEASE BUT UP KEEPING THE PARK AND KEEPING IT TO THE STANDARDS THE LEAGUES EXPECT I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THAT AND HOW THAT WILL AFFECT

MORE KIDS. >> WE HAVE BEEN IN THE PARK SINCE THE LATE '90S.

IF THINGS WEREN'T AN ISSUE I WOULD CERTAINLY PREFER THAT FEEDBACK.

I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY ARE WE CHANGING NOW. THE PLANS MADE BIG SHORT-ERM

[03:25:16]

I'VE ANYTHING ELSE BUT I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS. >> I APOLOGIZE I HAVE TO GATHER MY THOUGHTS GOODBYE IMPACTED ABOUT MY ORGANIZATION. I HAVE BEEN A VOLUNTEER SINCE 2,003. I WANT THAT PLACE TO SUCCEED. WE HAVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GROW. BUT AS WE GROW WE HAVE COME BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.

I HAVE WORKED WITH THE COUNTY OVER THIS, TO MAKE SURE WE CAN DO THINGS THE RIGHT WAY.

WHEN WE GOT INTO THE NEW LEAGUES, THERE WERE THINGS WE HAD TO ADDRESS.

WE BROUGHT OUT MEDICAL TRAINERS. WE HAD TO HAVE THEM ON SITE WE DO THAT FOR EVERY SATURDAY.

IS NOT JUST FOR HIGH-LEVEL TEAMS IS FOR THE RECREATIONAL KIDS IF THEY GET HURT.

WE HAVE PUT TIME IN ALL OF THE STAFF BEING TRAINED FOR FIRST AID, CPR AND MORE.

WE HAVE TWO ON SITE RIGHT NOW. WE KNOW WE RECOGNIZE THE SAFETY ISSUES.

OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE DONE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PARK. JUSTIN HAS SEEN ALL OF THEM.

NOW THERE ARE MANY WAYS WHERE THEY CAN WATCH THEIR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS PLAY.

WE DON'T HAVE A LIGHTNING DETECTOR IN ANY OF THE PARKS. WE HAVE ONE AT MY ORGANIZATION.

WE INVESTED IN THAT. THE PEOPLE USE THE PARK WE WANTED A WARNING SYSTEM.

WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO. JUSTIN COMES OUT THERE AND SEES WHAT WE'RE DOING.

I WILL INVEST BECAUSE I NEED TO PUT ADDITIONAL STOPS HERE BECAUSE OF MY ISSUES.

THOSE ARE THE ISSUES I WILL ADDRESS. IT SHORT-TERM FOR ONE YEAR, THEN WE ARE NOT SURE IF WE WILL BE THERE. I DON'T THINK ANY OF YOU WOULD

LIKE TO GO THROUGH THAT. >> YOU REFERRED TO THREE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AT YOUR CALIBER.

EITHER THEY COVER. >> ST. JOHN'S TAKES CARE OF THE FIELDS FOR THEM.

>> ONE 100% CORRECT DO WE DO ANY BENCHMARKING ON THAT. >> ST. JOHN'S COUNTY AS A RENTAL AGREEMENT WHERE THEY CHARGE FOR PLAYER FEE AND PER OUR FEE. ST. JOHN TAKES CARE OF THE UTILITIES AND DISPOSAL SERVICES. AND THEN THERE STAFF ACTUALLY COMMANDS THE PARK.

THE USER GROUPS JUST COME INTO PREVENTED. >> IT IS A COUNTY MAINTAINED

FACILITY THAT THE ORGANIZATION USES. >> YES, SIR.

>> HOW DOES THE JAGUAR STADIUM WORK? >> THE CITY OWNS IT.

>> WE OWN IT. 0. >> HOW DO THEY GET PAID BACK.

>> I'M SORRY. >> IS OWNED BY THE CITY BUT RAN AND OPERATED, BY SOMEONE ELSE.

[03:30:07]

>> BAY WORK EVERYTHING OUT THROUGH THE THIRD PARTY. >> IT'S A DIFFERENT MODEL.

>> DID YOU RESEARCH WHAT'S IN JACKSONVILLE REGARDING THE SOCCER?

>> YOU UNWRAP APPEAR QUICK STANCH I CAN TELL YOU, THEY HAVE A TEN YEAR LEASE.

I JUST KNEW THERE WAS ASSISTANCE PROVIDED, TO THE AMOUNT I DON'T KNOW.

THEY DO HAVE A TEN YEAR LEASE. >> MR. OTTO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME UP.

>> JAMES OTTO. MY ADDRESSES ON RECORD. IF CITIZENS WANT TO LOOK A FEW YEARS BACK, IT WAS TALKED ABOUT OF THE ASSOCIATIONS DID NOT CLEAN UP AFTER THEMSELVES.

SOCCER DID A GOOD JOB. IT WAS UNIQUE MENTIONED EARLIER BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE ARE NOT GETTING A MINIMUM OF $1,000 FOR THESE ORGANIZATIONS. WHEN WE ARE TALKING FLEMING ISLAND. I AM DEFINITELY UP FOR THEIR KIDS IN SCHOOLS AND GETTING THE RIGHT PARKS AND RECREATION THAT ARE HERE BUT I'M DEFINITELY AGAINST WHAT'S GOING ON OUT.

WHAT ABOUT US SINGLE PEOPLE. I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT THAT EARLIER.

ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KEEP PAIN AS THE SCHOOLS DETERIORATE AND WE HAVE TWO DEAL WITH IT.

DOES THIS INDICATE THAT TRACKED EVERY TALKING ABOUT THE KIDS GETTING IN ON THE INSIDE OF THE ROAD. SAFETY IS IMPORTANT WAS TALKED ABOUT.

IT IS NOT IMPORTANT CLAY COUNTY BECAUSE FOOTBALL HAS BEEN MORE IMPORTANT.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT GETTING TRANSIT IN APRIL NOW. HE SAYS EVERYTHING IS OKAY.

WE NEED TO TURN AWAY THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT DON'T DO THE RIGHT THING.

I SUGGEST, AND I PLEAD, GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE VIDEOS. LOOK AT FORMANT CIRCLE HOW THEY WANT TO PARK AND NOW THEY WANT THE MAINTENANCE DONE. THAT IS THE KIND OF PROBLEMS WE WILL HAVE. THEY DON'T WANT TO MAINTAIN IT. I DON'T THINK THE CITIZENS WANT TO PAY FOR THIS. KIDS ARE GETTING IN ON THE ROLE DESIGN.

THAT IS YOUR PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY. THE SAFETY OF THE ROAD.

NOT TAKING AWAY THE SUPPORT OF THE SMALL BUSINESSES. USAGE OF MONTH AND SMALL BUSINESSES IN CLAY COUNTY. THIS IS WAY OUT OF LINE. CITIZENS, GO LOOK AT THE DEATHS

[03:35:01]

YOU HAVE DONE A STANDUP JOB. >> I AM GOING TO PUBLICLY APOLOGIZE.

WE HAVE BEEN REVIEWING THE DOCUMENTS MULTIPLE TIMES I DIDN'T GET TO TALK TO MR. CRUZ I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR. TOURNAMENT PLAYERS FIELD YONDER REGULAR-SEASON.

THE PARENTS VERSUS THE KIDS FUNDRAISER. THAT IS NOT WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. WE WANT THESE ASSOCIATIONS TO FUNDRAISING BE SUCCESSFUL.

THE CAMPS AND CLINICS, THE SAME THING. IT IS A MONEYMAKER.

SO, IN OUR FEE SCHEDULE THEY HAVE SPECIAL PROGRAMS FOR SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN.

WE WANT EVERYONE TO ENJOY THE PARKS. THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE PROGRAMS TO HAPPEN WITH THE FEE WAIVER. IT IS ABOUT COMMUNICATION AND WORKING TOGETHER. I WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. I DID NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO TALK

ABOUT THOSE THINGS WITH THE ASSOCIATION DIRECTLY. >> IS THERE A 5050% CHANCE FOR

CHANGE. >> I THINK THAT WAS ONE OF THE ISSUES.

>> ORIGINALLY WITH THE LEASES WE PRESENTED, THE ONES THAT WERE DOING THEIR OWN GROUND MAINTENANCE, WE WOULD SPLIT THE REVENUE 5050. THE PARENT ORGANIZATION, WE ASKED THEM TO UNLOCK THE FACILITY WHICH WAS NOT FAIR. SO THIS WAS A REVENUE GENERATOR

FOR EVERYONE. >> ARE YOU GOING TO OUTLINE THE TOURNAMENT.

IS THAT WHICH ARE SAYING? >> IF THEY MAKE IT TO THE PLAYOFFS.

>> WE TALK WITH THE ASSOCIATION, >> IS IT A TWO DAY TOURNAMENT OR FIVE DAY TOURNAMENT.

[03:40:07]

>> THIS INCLUDES THE LOCAL TEAMS INVOLVED. WE ARE EXCLUDING THOSE TOURNAMENTS. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT.

PULL CAESAR PRESEASON THAT WOULD NOT BE INCLUDED. LIKE KIMBERLY SAID, IT WOULD BE

IN COMMUNICATION TO DETERMINE IF WE NEEDED TO ADD LANGUAGE. >> OF MY OTHER IS THE TEN YEAR

LEASE. WHY DOES THAT HAVE TO CHANGE. >> THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THE LENGTH OF THE LEASE SO WE COMPROMISE. YOU ALSO HEARD THROUGH THE DETRIMENT OF RELATIONSHIPS. THEY CAN'T GET GRANTS OR CONTRACTS, THAT IS A BIG DEAL.

>> PERSONALLY, WE HAVE FOUR KIDS. CAP DEALT WITH TONS OF BALLPARKS. MY DAUGHTER IS IN SCHOOL. WHAT THEY HAVE DONE, I CANNOT SPEAK TO ALL OF THE PARKS BUT WHAT THEY DO, I DON'T KNOW YOU CAN SAY IT DOES NOT HAVE IT.

IF YOU NEED A TEN YEAR LEASE, YOU HAVE ONE. IF YOU COMPLY WITH THE RULES AND

REGULATIONS. >> THEY CAN TELL THE SPONSORS THAT THEY HAVE THE LEASE.

>> WITH ANOTHER LEASE IT'S LONGER THAN TEN YEARS. >> THERE HAVE BEEN OCCASIONS WHERE YOU WANT THE OPPORTUNITY TO TERMINATE IT. YOU HAVE THOSE CONDITIONS.

>> I PLAYED SPORTS FOR MANY YEARS AND FOR 1 DOLLAR YOU TOOK CARE OF EVERYTHING AND PAID YOUR EXPENSES. EVERYTHING WAS ON THE ORGANIZATION.

WE MAY HAVE TO GO BECAUSE CERTAIN ORGANIZATIONS. I SAY WE MOVED TO TERMINATE THE

[03:45:35]

WE SHOULD BRING IT TO YOU TO THE NEXT MEETING. >> IF I KNEW THIS WOULD BE BROUGHT BEFORE US I NEVER WOULD'VE VOTED YES ON THAT. I WOULD SAY LET'S NOT RESEND.

LET'S HAVE THE EXISTING CONTRACT SO WE CAN MOVE FORWARD. I DON'T WANT TO DISMISS YOUR

POINTS. >> I DO HAVE A FEW POINTS I WANT TO MAKE.

I ASKED FOR THIS FINANCIAL DATA. I ASKED FOR IT IN AN E-MAIL. I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE BID BEFORE A MEETING. AND YOU MENTIONED BEFORE IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO READ INFORMATION WHEN IT IS HANDED TO YOU IN THE MEAT OF THE MEETING. I JUST WANTED TO DO A LITTLE BIT OF MATH. YOU ARE THE MATH EXPERT, I AM NOT.

THIS IS A% OF THEIR REVENUE. CLAY COUNTY SOCCER 7%. CARL AND THEIR TINY AMOUNT 9% OF THEIR REVENUE. FLEMING ISLAND, 9% OF THEIR REVENUE.

I WILL SKIP TO, FOR THE MOMENT, THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. WITH YOUR CURRENT PROPOSAL, YOU ARE PUTTING ON THE FAMILIES OF KEYSTONE HEIGHTS, A 42% AMOUNT OF THEIR REVENUE THAT THEY HAVE TO GIVE TO THE COUNTY JUST TO HAVE THEIR KIDS PLAY SOCCER. FOR THE BASEBALL, SOCCER AND MORE IT IS 24%. THAT IS THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY. I WAS IN A MEETING ON FRIDAY AND I FOUND OUT OUR DEPUTY SHERIFF PAY IS $38,000 PER YEAR. FIREFIGHTERS 33,000 PER YEAR.

COUNTY EMPLOYEES, WE HAVE JOBS OPEN FOR $29,000 PER YEAR. ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE CAN HAVE THEIR KIDS PLAY VOLUNTEER SPORTS. YOU WANT TO BUILD OF THE KIDS WHO WILL RISE TO THE TOP. THESE ARE ABOUT THE MOM AND DAD. I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT IT.

I DID THIS SO MY BOYS COULD PLAY. NOT FOR ANY OTHER REASON THAN THEY LOVE THEIR SPORT AND WE GOT TIME TO SPEND TOGETHER. AND NOW YOU'RE SAYING PAY ANOTHER TAXPAYER PAY THIS TAX THAT THE VOTERS HAVE NOT VOTED ON.

THEY PAY A PARKS IMPACT FEE. VOTERS VOTED ON THAT. OR THE COMMISSION VOTED ON IT.

THIS IS A MONEY GRAB. THEN WE WILL SAY, PARENTS, IF YOU MOW YOUR GRASS, MY UNDERSTANDING IS YOU CANNOT PLAY SOCCER ON TWO AND A HALF INCHES OF GRASS.

IF YOU DO THAT, YOU VIOLATED THE LEASE AND WE CAN TERMINATE FOR CAUSE.

THAT IS NOT ABOUT FAMILY. THAT IS NOT ABOUT KIDS. THESE ARE NOT PROGRAMS THAT ARE MAKING GOOD MONEY. BY THE WAY I SPOKE TO SOME OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, AND NO ONE IS HERE TO SPEAK BECAUSE PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO GET A BLACK MARK. BUT I DID NOT FIND A SINGLE

[03:50:07]

WE DO NOT HAVE TIME. AND WE HAVE TO GET TOGETHER WITH BOARDS.

WE ARE ASKING THESE PEOPLE, TO WEIGH IN ON SOMETHING, THIS GENTLEMAN DID NOT KNOW UNTIL HE FOUND OUT AND I SAY WHAT ARE WE DOING. I'M SORRY, I'M REALLY NOT GOOD WITH NAMES AND I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT REMEMBER YOUR NAME. YOU SAID THE COUNTY WAS LOOKING FOR REVENUE AREAS. I AM SORRY. I HAVE BEEN A COMMISSIONER SINCE NOVEMBER. I DIDN'T KNOW WE WERE IN A REVENUE CRUNCH THAT WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO OUR FAMILIES AND ASKED THEM TO PUT MORE OF THE BILL.

I WOULD LIKE US, IF THAT IS THE CASE, IF THE COUNTY ISN'T THAT BAD OF SHAPE, TO NOT FUND THESE PROGRAMS THEN I WOULD LIKE TO LOOK AND CALL AN EMERGENCY MEETING OR WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO TO LOOK AT THE OVERALL BUDGET. I BET WE CAN FIND A LOT OF OTHER PLACES TO PINCH PENNIES THAT ARE NOT ON THE BACKS OF OUR FAMILIES.

I FEEL LIKE, AND I AM NOT ALONE, THESE ASSOCIATIONS FEEL THIS WAY.

THIS IS GOOD GOVERNMENT OVERREACH. THIS IS NOT A PARTNERSHIP AND WE THINK WE HAVE SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY YET THEY HAVE TO TURN IN DOCUMENTS TO US.

SOMEBODY WILL HAVE TO REVIEW IT. IT IS AN UNDUE BURDEN TO GO THROUGH THIS PAPERWORK, THAT THE GOVERNING ORGANIZATIONS ARE REQUIRED. IF YOU CHARTER YOUR TEAMS THROUGH BABE RUTH, YOU DO IT ALL ONLINE. YOU ENTER THE INFORMATION ONLINE, NOW THEY HAVE SPORTS WHERE THE PARENTS ENTER THE INFORMATION.

ALL OF THE HAS TO DO IS A FEW CLICKS. WE WANT DOCUMENTS THAT DON'T EXIST. FINALLY I HAVE TO SAY. THERE IS A GROUP, AND KEYSTONE HEIGHTS CALLED EMBRACE THE COMMUNITY CENTER. THEY PROVIDE EXPERIENCES FOR KIDS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. THREE YEARS BEFORE COVID THEY CREATED A PROGRAM THAT WAS CALLED BUDDY PAUL. WHAT IT WAS, IT WAS ON SUNDAY AFTERNOONS FOR FIVE SUNDAYS STARTING MID TO LATE FEBRUARY. KIDS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS GOT TO PLAY BASEBALL.

THEY HAD A BUDDY WHO PLAYED BASEBALL WITH THEM. WHERE WE WITH HUMANITY.

I AM SHOCKED THAT THIS IS WHERE WE ARE. WHEN WE SAID WE WOULD TERMINATE THE LEASES AND COME UP WITH ONE THAT WORKED FOR THE ORGANIZATIONS I BELIEVE IT.

THEN I GOT PHONE CALLS, I SPOKE TO SIX OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS, NO ONE'S HAPPY WITH THIS.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE GO BACK. I'M WITH YOU. I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS HAD TO COME UP AND I GET IT, HE HAS 250 KIDS PER YEAR THAT PLAY THERE. THEY RAISED 51,000 DOLLARS IN 2018. WE ARE REALLY GOING TO LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND SAY, BECAUSE YOU RAISED THIS MONEY, MORE THAN YOU WERE ALLOWED TO PAY, YOU NOW HAVE TO PAY THE COUNTY THAT MONEY. WHO KNOWS WHERE THEY GOT IT FROM.

THEY ARE ALL TRYING TO SURVIVE. I HAD SEVERAL ORGANIZATIONS TELL ME THEY WERE NOT SURE THEY COULD SURVIVE IF THEY HAD TO SIGN THIS LEASE. THAT IS NOT AN EXAGGERATION AND IT IS NOT DRAMATIC. I HAD ANOTHER ORGANIZATION SAY CAN WE JUST NOT SIGN A LEASE

[03:55:09]

IN THIS LEASE, WE HAVE TAKEN OUT ALL OF THE MAPS. WE DON'T DEFINE BOUNDARIES.

THIS LEASE REQUIRES THEY HAVE LIABILITY INSURANCE FOR THE ENTIRE TIME OF THE LEASE.

MOST OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS GET THERE INSURANCE FROM THEIR GOVERNING BODY.

IF YOU GET A LIABILITY POLICY FROM BABE RUTH, YOUR POLICY IS FROM YOUR OPENING DAY, THE BEGINNING OF YOUR PRACTICE SEASON, AND THIS GROUP HAD TO FILE THEY HAD EVALUATIONS LAST NIGHT. IF THEY ALREADY KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO HOST DISTRICT PANK THIS IS WHAT IT WILL COVER FOR THE SPRING SEASON. THAT IS PROBABLY OVER THE FIRST WEEK OF JUNE. THEN THEY GO ON TO TOURNAMENT PLAY, AND THEY CAN'T ASK TO HOST A TOURNAMENT BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT AFFORD TO DO IT. WE HOSTED ONE SO I KNOW WHAT THAT IS. THE WHOLE SUMMER, THEY DON'T HAVE LIABILITY INSURANCE.

I WOULD LEASE SAYS THEY HAVE TO GET ANOTHER POLICY. ANOTHER ORGANIZATION, NOT THESE FINE PEOPLE, GOT A PRICE FOR THE POLICY FOR THE TIME THEY ARE NOT PLAYING ON THEIR FIELDS AND THEY COULD NOT AFFORD TO STAY IN BUSINESS. I WON'T NAME WHICH ONE THAT WAS.

I THINK WE HAVE A LOT TO WORK OUT. THERE'S A LOT OF EM BUKE PD AND BUKE AMBIGUITY THINGS WE DON'T KNOW. -- I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE GO.

THERE'S A LOT OF HOLES. >> WE WILL TAKE IT OFF-LINE AND TRY TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT WORKS BETTER. IN THE MEANTIME WE WILL GIVE DIRECTION FOR THE COUNTY ATTORNEY TO COME BACK SO WE CAN CONTINUE OTHER ARRANGEMENTS UNTIL WE COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE CAN LIVE WITH AND ADOPT THOSE. SOME OF THE SAME ONES I BROUGHT UP AND WAS ASKING ABOUT. NOT AS PASSIONATELY BUT I WAS ASKING THOSE NONETHELESS.

I THINK WE NEED TO MOVE THAT IF WE CAN DO THAT. >> I THINK WE HAVE BEEN DOING THREE-MONTH EXTENSIONS. THAT WOULD PUT US THROUGH MOST OF THE BASEBALL SEASON.

>> ORIGINALLY THE TARGET WAS MARCH 1. THERE WOULD GIVE US TIME TO IRON

OUT THINGS TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE CAN MOVE FORWARD. >> I WOULD LIKE TO SAY, EVERY ORGANIZATION THAT I SPOKE TO COMPLIMENTED JUSTIN AND HIS WORK AND CLAY COUNTY IS BETTER THAT YOU'RE ON OUR TEAM. DON'T TAKE OUR COMMENTS -- MY COMMENTS THAT WE DON'T APPRECIATE YOU ARE HERE. I KNOW YOU'RE WORKING HARD FOR THIS.

IT IS JUST THE OBJECTS OF WHAT IT IS. >> THAT IS WHY I STARTED THE CONVERSATION, WE APPRECIATE THE HOURS OF TAKING ON THE FACT-FINDING.

WE APPRECIATE THAT. WE WILL LOOK AT THAT FOR THE NEXT MEETING.

[04:00:03]

>> EVERYONE AGREES, TO EXTEND THE LEASES THEN WE WILL COME BACK WITH ANOTHER LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE TO IN TERMS OF MOVING FORWARD WITH LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS.

OF THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE. DOES THAT WORK? >> SO, THAT TAKES US THROUGH 16-18. WE WILL DELAY THOSE. WE DO GO TO THE COUNTY MANAGER.

[COUNTY MANAGER]

IS HOWARD STILL WITH THE SPIRIT DID HE SNEAK OUT. >> I AM STILL HERE.

>> I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE WE TAKE CARE OF THIS. >> I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE LEAST BUT WE DO HAVE TO PURSUE THE LEASE WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD.

>> THAT DOES NOT EXPIRE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE

BEFORE I MOVE FORWARD. >> JUST A COUPLE OF COMMENTS. IF I CAN SHARE MY SCREEN.

ON THE LAST BOARD, THIS HAS BEEN UPDATED. I WANT TO POINT OUT, I DON'T

KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE MY SCREEN. >> IS A LITTLE BUSY. >> MAYBE YOU CAN GIVE US THE

OVERVIEW. >> YOU CAN SEE BLUE GREEN AND YELLOW.

THIS MEANS THERE'S ISSUES. THIS IS. >> THE NEW PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTORS THERE ARE SYSTEMS OUT THERE, AND TECHNOLOGY TO EVALUATE THE SYSTEM SPIRIT BUT I JUST WANTED TO BRING IT TO THE BOARD'S ATTENTION. THE LIST IS UPDATED AND THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN YOU REGULAR. ANY QUESTIONS?

>> YOU ARE BREAKING UP. THE GREEN ITEMS ARE ROADS THAT ARE SCHEDULED TO BE RESURFACED.

>> THEY ARE COMPLETED. >> IS NOT FROM THIS FISCAL YEAR OR LAST FISCAL YEAR?

>> LAST FISCAL YEAR. >> WE HAVE NOT UPDATED THE LIST OF ROADS YET?

>> IT STARTS IN THE NORTH ON MIMOSA AVENUE AND CONTINUES DOWN FROM THERE.

>> THE YELLOW ROADS AND UNDERDRAIN OR SOME SORT OF A DRAINAGE PROBLEM.

>> THAT IS CORRECT. >> THE PLAN IS TO GET WITH TERESA, AND THEN TAKE A LOOK TO EVALUATE THE ROADS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY AND GIVE THEM WE NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT THE CURRENT

NUMBER SAY AND WHAT THE SYSTEM COMES UP WITH. >> THE PAVING THIS IS ON OUR WEBSITE. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS. THE WE ALWAYS REFERRED TO THIS

AS PAVING THE ROADS BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE DO. >> ANYTHING ELSE?

THIS WAS FROM THE LAST BOARD MEETING. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR HOWARD AT

THIS TIME? >> NON- RIGHT NOW. STANDBY.

[COUNTY ATTORNEY]

>> YOU NEVER KNOW. >> COUNTY ATTORNEY. >> I HAVE BEEN ASKED A QUESTION

[04:05:04]

IN CONNECTION WITH. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE COUNTY ATTORNEY?

>> THAT IS NOT THE ALL-ENCOMPASSING AGREEMENT. >> KNOW BECAUSE WE HAVE RUN INTO

SOME ROADBLOCKS WITH THAT BUT WE ARE STILL WORKING THROUGH IT. >> MY ONLY QUESTION ON THAT WAS NOT NECESSARILY TO GET AN AGREEMENT, I COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT THAT I JUST WANTED THE ENGINEERING GROUP TO TALK TO EACH OTHER SO WHEN WE TURN UP AROUND WE HAVE THE CHANCE TO DO IT AND THEY CAN DO THE SAME WITH THE SPIRIT WE DO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CUT COSTS IF WE DO. THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO. WE ARE AT LEAST TALKING TO THE OTHER GUYS WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET THE COORDINATION TO WORK. EVERY TIME I BRING THOSE TWO GUYS IN TO TALK TO MY HOA THEY ARE POINTING TO EACH OTHER. IT WAS BAD.

$130 MILLION WORTH OF ROADS. WE NEED TO FIX THAT SO WE DON'T KEEP DOING THE SAME THING OVER

AND OVER AGAIN. >> ANYTHING ELSE FROM THE COUNTY ATTORNEY?

COMMISSIONER ANYTHING TODAY? >> I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SEE IF THE CONNIE CLERK, WOULD YOU LIKE

TO COMEUPPANCE ANYTHING? >> TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, I WANT TO GIVE YOU A BENCHMARKING 1819 -- 1918 WE HAD 108 EVICTIONS FILED. IT WENT DOWN IN 1919.

WE ARE ON PACE IN 2021, WE ARE CURRENTLY AT 187. SO WE WILL BE PUSHING 750.

I WILL SAY THAT, WITH THAT WE ARE ALSO WE ALSO HAVE FEDERALLY BACKED MORTGAGES.

THEY WEREN'T NECESSARILY FILING EVICTION SO ONCE WE DO THIS IF ASSISTANCE CAN BE FOUND FOR

THOSE PEOPLE. >> I LIKE HELPING PEOPLE BUT THERE IS A LIMIT.

THEY WILL THINK THEY'RE GETTING BILLED OUT AS WELL AS THE PEOPLE AFFECTED BY COVID.

>> THE ONLY ONES WHO HAD HIS DAY THEY HAD TO QUALIFY AND PROVE THAT TO THE COURT IN ORDER FOR

THE EVICTION TO NOT BE PUSHED THROUGH. >> AGAIN FILING EVICTION.

>> YOU CAN FILING EVICTION FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS THEY CAN COME BEFORE THE JUDGE IMPROVE THEIR IMPACT TO PAY WAS IMPACTED BY LOSS OF JOB OR WHATEVER THROUGH COVID AND THEY WOULD QUALIFY FOR A STAY. THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE THROUGH THE SYSTEM.

>> WHAT ABOUT FORECLOSURES, IS THAT THE SAME. >> THE SAME CRITERIA IF YOU CAN

[04:10:04]

WE SUSPECT WITH THE BACKLOG, WHICH WE ARE ALL GETTING READY FOR, FORECLOSURES WILL BE HIGH

COMING BACK. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> WE WENT THROUGH THAT PORTION.

[PUBLIC COMMENTS]

>> I DID AND SHE INDICATED NO. >> MR. OTTO. >> JAMES OTTO.

MY ADDRESSES ON RECORD. CITIZENS, PLEASE, IF YOU LOOK AT THE CARE ZACH PAPERWORK YOU CAN HIRE AN ATTORNEY FOR CORRECT COLLECTIONS OF THE MONEY YOU CAN GET.

CONTACT AN ATTORNEY. THE CLARES THAT'S RIGHT FOR CARE ZACH NEEDS TO BE AUDITED.

IT HASN'T BEEN SPENT) -- THE CARES ACT NEEDS TO BE AUDITED. 10:00 A.M. IS.

>> I HAVE ASKED THAT YOU PUT ON MOP UP FOR ALL OF US TO SEE, I WANT A COPY.

THE COUNTY MANAGER WAS 25,000 NOW YOU WANT TO GIVE HIM 75,000. WE HAVE GOOD TREES THAT WERE MURDERED IN THE PARKING LOT. IT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE A DIFFERENT WAY.

I ASKED THE BOARD TO GO BACK TO THE $25,000 ON THE MANAGER. IT'S NOT RIGHT THAT WE GO TO THAT AMOUNT. THANK YOU FOR STANDING UP, OVER 15 YEARS I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU TO BE THE COMMISSIONER. WE HAD SO MANY THAT DIDN'T STAND UP AT ALL. YOU ARE PART OF THE COUNTY. HE STILL UP FOR THE OTHER PARTS

OF THE COUNTY. >> MR. OTTO. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO NAME

INDIVIDUAL -- >> WE HAD 30 CITIZEN PROPERTY TAKEN AWAY OUT OF 60.

THE NUMBERS WERE NOT EVEN QUOTED. THIS IS A MESS.

HOW ARE YOU GUYS EVEN VOTING ON THIS STUFF. WE NEED TO GO BACK.

>> YOUR TIME IS UP. >> THANK YOU. >> ANYONE ELSE WITH PUBLIC

[COMMISSIONERS' COMMENTS]

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING. >> I JUST HAVE ONE THING. I HAVE A CONSTITUENT WHERE MARY LIVED. WE WOULD LIKE TO PURSUE THIS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR PROCEDURES ARE BUT I LIKE CONCURRENCE THE TARGET IS TO A CEREMONY IN THE THIRD WEEK.

[04:15:18]

SO, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU WANT TO PROCEED? >> MY SUGGESTION IS WORK WITH

THE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, ARE YOU RENAMING OR DESIGNATING THIS? >> WE WILL NOT RENAME ANYTHING.

>> WE ARE WORKING WITH STAFF. DO YOU WANT US TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS.

>> I HAVE NO WE WILL WORK WITH THE COUNTY ATTORNEY AND STAFF AND BRING IT BACK WHETHER IT IS

A BUDGET OR IF IT WILL BE PRIVATE FUNDING. >> I THINK YOU CAN SEE NO ONE

HAS A PROBLEM WITH IT. >> SHE DESIGNED THE FLAG RIGHT QUICKSAD SHE'S ONE OF THE

INSTIGATORS. >> DOES THAT LET YOU KNOW WHERE TO GO QUICKSAND I CAN KEEP WORKING ON IT. THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT. EVERYONE SAYS YES.

ANYTHING ELSE? >> THAT'S A LOT. >> ONE THING I HEARD TONIGHT, THERE'S A NEED NEED TO HAVE WRITTEN SPECIFICATIONS AS TO WHAT THINGS WILL LOOK LIKE.

THE PEOPLE FROM KEYSTONE TALK ABOUT THAT. IT WASN'T BEING MAINTAINED TO SOME PARTICULAR STANDARD. IS THERE A STANDARD FOR THE WHOLE PARK SYSTEM NOW.

, PROBABLY NOT. I DON'T WANT TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT.

>> IF WE ARE GOING TO PURSUE THIS, WE NEED A WRITTEN STANDARD TO WHAT THE FARK IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE. THAT WAY WE NEED THE STANDARD TO FIGURE THAT OUT.

IT WASN'T THE STANDARD OF THE SEASON. THE HEIGHT OF THE GRASS AS WELL AS HOW MANY CUTS PER WEEK. ( INDISCERNIBLE ) IT WAS NOVEMBER THROUGH MARCH AND EVERY WEEK. MAYBE WE CAN PRODUCE THE DOCUMENT.

>> IF IT GOES IN THAT DIRECTION. WE HAVE AN EQUAL PLAYING FIELD FOR EVERYONE.

THE OTHER THING, THIS MOMENT OF INFORMATION. WE HAVE THREE COMMISSIONERS COMPLAINING ABOUT NOT GETTING STUFF AND OF THE MEETINGS. I DON'T KNOW WHO TO TALK TO ANYMORE. HOWARD, DEAR ME. WHERE WE ARE GETTING STUFF AT THE LAST MINUTE. I CANNOT DO MY JOB UNLESS I CAN READ THIS STUFF AHEAD OF THE MEETING. I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE WORKING AGAINST DEADLINES, THIS IS A THE DEADLINE IS A LITTLE FURTHER OUT , SO WE CAN GET THE INFORMATION IN THE PUBLIC GET THE INFORMATION. I HAD A REQUEST MAINLY SO THEY CAN HAVE RECREATIONAL SPACE THAT THEY CAN WALK ON THE SIDEWALK. RIGHT NOW THE WAY THE PLACE AND SET UP HAVE A LOT OF AROUND BUT

NOT A LOT OF SIDEWALK. >> I WANT TO TURN RICHARD SMITH AND THE COUNTY MANAGER THANK

[04:20:10]

I APPRECIATE THEM WORKING ON THOSE ALTERNATIVES AND WHEN I SAY THERE IS A ROAD HERE, HE DRIVES TO LOOK AT. I APPRECIATE THAT. I APPRECIATE THE ASSOCIATION SHOW AND OUR FAIRGROUNDS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. ANNA FAMILY MEMBER SHOWING IN THAT. THAT FAMILY TRAVELS ALL OVER THE STATE.

THEY SAID OUR FACILITIES WERE SECOND TO NONE IN THE WORLD GRATEFUL FOR THE ELECTRICITY AND THE WATER IN THIS DISABILITY. I COMMEND THE WAY THAT IS BEING HELD.

THEY HAD A HUGE SPONSOR. AT THE LAST MINUTE THEY GOT AN ARMORY COMPANY WHO SPONSORED THEM. SOME SAID THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HOST WITHOUT THAT.

IT WAS REALLY A GREAT EVENT. THE LAST THING IS, I HAD A CONSTITUENT ASK A QUESTION SO I WORKED WITH MR. LATHAM AND THE COUNTY MANAGER. THIS RESIDENT POINTED OUT A RULE WE HAVE IN PLACE THAT WASN'T FAIR, TWO OR MORE INDIVIDUALS WHO OWNED RESIDENTIAL HOME SITES. WHAT OUR OVERALL WAS, YOU COULD GO TO ONE OF OUR TRANSFER STATIONS ONCE PER DAY. NO MATTER HOW MANY PIECES OF PROPERTY YOU PAID THE ASSESSMENT ON YOUR PROPERTY TAXES. SO, WHETHER YOU TOOK ONE BAG OF GARBAGE OR YOU TOOK A TRAILER LOAD YOU COULD'S ONLY GO ONCE PER DAY. THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CHANGE SEVERAL, THE COUNTY MANAGER APPROVED TO CHANGE THE RULE TO THE PERSON HAS TO PROVE THAT THEY HAVE A PROPERTY TAX BILL FOR A RESIDENTIAL RESIDENCE THAT IS IN ADDITION TO THEIR DRIVER'S LICENSE THAT WOULD BE THEIR HOME. I HAD RESIDENT LOAN THE SECOND PROPERTY THAT ONE OF HIS CHILDREN LIVES AND AT ANY RATE HE CAN GO TWICE BECAUSE HE CAN PROVE THE PROPERTY TAX BILL I WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH EVERYONE.

>> THANK YOU. >> I JUST WANTED TO SAY I WAS SORRY TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EAGLE SCOUT DINNER. IT WAS THIS PAST SATURDAY. FORTY-THREE YOUNG MEN AND YOUNG WOMEN TO WORK ON ON SATURDAY AND THAT IS THE FUTURE OF HER COUNTRY.

THEY ARE SOME SOME GREAT PEOPLE.
