IT WAS TOUGH OUT THERE AND THE GUYS ARE STILL DOING IT IF ALTERNATE DAYS ARE NEEDED, THESE FIND TEAM MEMBERS OF CLAY COUNTY , ABSOLUTE GREAT AMERICANS TAKING CARE OF WHAT IS NEEDED WITH REGARDS TO YARD WASTE. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE PARTNERSHIP WITH GETTING THE TRUCKS AND WE WILL HAVE A MOMENT AS THIS ISN'T TO RECOGNIZE EVEN THE DRIVERS FROM GREEN COLD.

THANK YOU GUYS. WE APPRECIATED. >> THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN.

I KNOW IT WAS TOUGH WORKING WITH HOW WE ALL DAY, WE DO IT EVERY DAY.

WE CAN FEEL YOUR PAIN. LET'S TURN OUR ATTENTION TO SOME PROCLAMATIONS.

[1.  National Boating Safety Week]

WE HAVE DANYA WHO IS ALSO A MEMBER. COME ON UP.

YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY WITH THESE GUYS. WHAT IS YOUR NAME.

>> SCOTT. >> THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE FOR TODAY.

HERE'S THE PROCLAMATION. IT IS MY HONOR TO DO THIS AND I ASKED TO DO THIS BECAUSE I WAS A PILOT IN THE NAVY. IN THE NAVY YOU GET TO DRIVE A SHIP EVERY NOW AND THEN.

I GOT TO DRIVE CARL VINCENT. I KNOW ABOUT THE RULES OF THE ROAD AND ALL OF THAT STUFF.

THEY ARE WELL-QUALIFIED. ANYWAY. WE HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH ACCIDENTS WITH BOTH SPIRIT PRIMARILY, A LOT OF LIVES ARE LOST THAT COULD BE SAVED WITH A SIMPLE USE OF THE SAFETY DEVICES. AND A LIFEJACKET.

WHICH ARE ALL REQUIRED ON THE VESSEL THAT IS OUT THERE. THIS MONTH WE WOULD LIKE TO OBSERVE NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK. IT BRINGS ATTENTION TO VOTERS SO THEY CAN HAVE A SAFE AND FUN EXPERIENCE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. WHEREAS THE COAST GUARD SAID HUMAN ERROR ACCOUNTS FOR MOST ACCIDENTS, THAT COULD PREVENT 80% OF BOATING THE TALLIES.

IT BEGINS WITH PREPARATION WHICH INCLUDES BASIC PROCEDURES SUCH AS CARRION IMMUNOGENICITY -- EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT AND TAKING SAFE BOATING COURSES, PARTICIPATING IN BOATING CHECKS AND STAY SOBER WHEN NAVIGATING. THE AVERAGE OF 600 PEOPLE DIE PER YEAR END BOATING RELATED ACCIDENTS. A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF THOSE WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY THEY HAD WORN LIFEJACKET SPIRIT THEREFORE THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DO HEREBY PROCLAIM MAY 22-28 AS SAFE BOATING WEEK AND TO A COUNTY. IT SUPPORTS THE EFFORTS OF THE COAST GUARD TO INCREASE AWARENESS ABOUT SAFENESS AND ENCOURAGES VOTERS TO ENJOY THE

[00:15:09]

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

HERE IT IS. >> MY NAME IS ALLEN WITH COAST GUARD AUXILIARY.

FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO CLAY COUNTY AND THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS.

THIS MEANS A LOT TO US. AS STATED THIS IS A VERY BUSY SEASON FOR BOATING.

WE WILL SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE WATER. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE HAS THEIR SAFETY EQUIPMENT ON BOARD. IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD A VESSEL COMPLETED YOU CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE AND REACH OUT AT ANY TIME AND WE CAN SCHEDULE A SAFETY CHECK. BY DOING THIS IT WILL ENSURE THAT YOU ARE READY IN CASE YOU HAVE ANY ACCIDENTS. WITH THAT BEING SAID, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE APPRECIATE IT. I KNOW YOU HAVE SUSPENDED COURSES BUT HAVE YOU STARTED

THOSE YET? >> WE WERE ACTUALLY, MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WAS SHUT DOWN.

AS OF, ONE WEEK AGO, WE DID GET NOTIFICATION THAT PUBLIC EDUCATION CLASSES CAN BE HELD AGAIN AS LONG AS WE HAVE SOCIAL DISTANCING AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN A

BOATING SAFETY CLASS, THE CLASS SCHEDULE WILL BE POSTED. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[2.  National Public Works Week]

>> THE NEXT PROCLAMATION IS TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF NATIONAL PUBLIC WORKS WEEK.

WE SAW SOME OF THE PEOPLE APPEAR AND THE INDIVIDUALS WHO WORK FOR US.

IF EVERYONE WOULD JOIN US UPFRONT. TERESA, ARE YOU COMING BACK TOO? TERESA GARDNER, OUR DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS. COMMISSIONER WILL YOU READ THE

PROCLAMATION. >> THEY FOCUS ON INFRASTRUCTURE AND ESSENTIAL SERVICES THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO RESILIENT COMMUNITIES. WHERE IS THE INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITY AND SERVICES WE DEPEND ON COULD NOT BE PROVIDED WITHOUT THE DEDICATED EFFORTS OF PUBLIC WORKS PROFESSIONALS TO THE OPERATION OF SYSTEMS AND PROGRAMS SUCH AS STORM DRAINS AND PONDS WHEREAS PUBLIC WORKS SERVICES ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR EVERYDAY LIVES AND THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE COMMUNITY THAT DEPENDS ON THESE SERVICES.

WHEREAS IT IS IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST FOR ALL CITIZENS TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF PUBLIC WORKS AND PROGRAMS IN THE COMMUNITY. WHEREAS THE CLAY COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES 109 DEDICATED PROFESSIONALS IN THE STREETS AND DRAINAGE AND FLEET DIVISION, FOREMEN, EQUIPMENT OPERATORS, MECHANICS, REPAIR PARKS CLERKS AND FABRICATORS WHO WORK EVERY DAY TO ENSURE OUR TRANSPORTATION IS SAFE AND INSTEP WITH THE GROWTH AND

[00:20:05]

ANY OPPOSED? IT PASSES. >> THIS YEAR'S THEME FOR THE CELEBRATION IS STRONGER TOGETHER. TONIGHT IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF HOW NOT ONLY THE PUBLIC WORKS TEAM BUT THE COUNTY IS STRONGER. WE ARE HERE TO SERVE OUR CITIZENS AND WE HAVE A GREAT TEAM. THANK YOU JEFF AND SCOTT FOR COMING. THANK YOU FOR RECOGNIZING US, WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

DO THE PRESENTATIONS FOR PUBLIC WORKS? RICHARD, ARE YOU DOING THAT? COME ON DOWN. RICHARD SMITH, THE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING.

>> THANK YOU. WE HAVE A VIEW GENTLEMAN RETIRING.

HE HAS BEEN IN THE TRAFFICS DIVISION FOR 29 YEARS. THIRTY-FIVE YEARS.

WE WILL MISS HIM, HE WILL BE HARD TO REPLACE. GOOD LUCK.

>> NOW I THINK WE CAN GO BACK TO OUR SEATS. >> YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED A DISPLAY IN THE LOBBY. IN HONOR OF CLAY COUNTY HISTORY MONTH THE, COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE SAID, TO CELEBRATE HISTORY MONTH CREATED BY THE ARCHIVES AND RECENTLY DISPLAYED AT THE FAIR SPIRIT WE DO INVITE YOU TO STOP BY AND SEE THE WORK THAT WENT INTO THE EXHIBIT AND TAKE A SELFIE. I TOOK A PICTURE OF THE PHOTOS WITHOUT TAKING THE SELFIE.

I WANTED TO SEE THE PICTURES OF THE ROARING 20S AND WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

EACH MADE THE ARCHIVES DEPARTMENT PARTNERS WITH SCHOOLS AND HISTORIANS TO BRING EGG

[00:25:01]

[Update on The Fire Watch - Nick Howland, Executive Director]

WORDS. >> THANK YOU. I WOULD NOT BE REMISS IF I DID

NOT REFER TO THE BOSS. >> COMMISSIONERS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING SUPPORTIVE OF FIRE WATCH. DO YOU WANT TO BRING THIS UP. FIRE WATCH WAS DESIGNED TO FIND VETERANS SUICIDE. IT PERSONALLY AFFECTED ME NOT FROM A VETERAN STANDPOINT BUT MY SON'S BEST FRIEND COMMITTED SUICIDE TWO WEEKS AGO AND THAT WAS TERRIBLE.

THAT IS THE CLOSE -- CLOSE AS IT IS MEANT TO BE. >> CAN YOU PULL YOUR MICROPHONE

UP. >> I CAN TELL YOU, IT IS DEVASTATING.

OUR MISSION IS TO PREVENT VETERANS SUICIDE. YOU WILL SEE THE TRAGEDY OF IT ON THE SCREEN. IT CONTINUES TO GO UP AND ACROSS THE NATION 6,000 VETERANS TAKE THEIR LIVES FROM ALL ERAS. THE RATE FOR FEMALE VETERANS IS MORE THAN TWO TIMES THAT OF NON- VETERAN OF THE WOMEN. ANOTHER INTERESTING STATISTIC. IN THE AGE GROUP 18-34, A MALE VETERAN IN FLORIDA IS THREE TIMES MORE LIKELY TO COMMIT SUICIDE THAN A NONVETERAN.

YOU WOULD THINK SOMEONE WHO HAD DONE SOMETHING FOR THEIR COUNTRY AND HAD A GOOD EXPERIENCE MOST CASES WOULD LEAD THEM TO LOVE LIFE MORE BUT UNFORTUNATELY THAT IS NOT THE CASE.

SO WHAT WE DID, WE DEVELOPED A STRATEGY, ROY WHO IS ALSO THE CEO OF CANINES FOR WARRIORS, APPROACHED THE FIVE COUNTIES AND SAID WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING. WE NEED TO OWN THIS.

SO CLAY COUNTY AND THE OTHERS REACH OUT TO SUPPORT FIRE WATCH. WE ALL HAVE INDIVIDUALS TO BE A REPRESENTATIVE. A LIEUTENANT COLONEL RETIRED, HAVE KNOWN HIM FOR MANY YEARS.

AND BLESSED ENOUGH BUT -- TO BE THE CHAIR. WE WORKED TOGETHER.

THE CHALLENGE IS NOT SAYING IT IS BAD IT IS WHAT WE DO ABOUT IT.

WHAT CAN WE DO IN NORTHEAST FLORIDA. WE DO HAVE SOME FUNDS AND CLAY COUNTY HAS BEEN GREAT, BUT WE ARE NOT TRYING TO DUPLICTE ANYTHING.

WHAT CAN WE DO HERETO ON THAT. WHAT WE WANTED TO DO WAS ESTABLISH SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE LONG-TERM AND IMPACTFUL. YOU WILL SEE SOME THINGS ABOUT OUR MISSION.

WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE WERE COLLABORATIVE ACROSS ALL COUNTIES.

IT IS ALL COUNTIES WORKING TOGETHER. WHAT WE HAVE DONE, WE HAVE DEVELOPED SPECIFIC PROGRAMS THAT ALLOW VETERANS AND NONVETERANS TO PARTICIPATE.

ONE OF THE BIG THINGS OF THIS PROJECT, ONE OUT OF TEN PEOPLE HAVE SERVED IN THE MILITARY.

THAT MEANS 97% HAVE NOT SERVED. PEOPLE RUN INTO WILL NOT BE VETERANS.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT NONVETERANS WERE PART OF THIS. WE WANT THEM TO BE ON THE FRONT LINE. SO WE DEVELOPED A COUPLE PROGRAMS. NICK HAS TALKED ABOUT IT. BUT WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS SOMETHING WE ARE BUILDING ON.

IT IS THE START PROCESS. THIS IS LESS THAN TWO YEARS OF EXISTENCE.

WE FEEL LIKE WE HAVE MADE PROGRESS AND WE WANT TO COME BACK TO EACH COUNTY AND THE CITY AND TELL YOU HOW WE FEEL. NICK, WE ARE FORTUNATE AND HE WILL GO OVER THE SPECIFIC

PROGRAMS. >> I KNOW OUR TIME IS LIMITED BUT THIS IS WHERE YOU SOLVE A

[00:30:10]

THE HIGHEST NUMBER WAS 642018. THE BE A IT IS TWO YEARS IN ARREARS.

THE SOLUTION WAS THOUGHT TO BE PUT MORE MONEY INTO IT. IF YOU LOOK AT THE VA'S BUDGET YOU WILL SEE $1 BILLION ADDED. THE SOLUTION ISN'T NECESSARILY TREATMENT.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO USE THE TREATMENT IT HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL.

THE SOLUTION IS PREVENTION. IT IS COMMUNITY LED PREVENTION. THIS IS HOW WE REFER TO THIS AS A PROGRAM. THIS WAS THE SAID WE WANTED TO ROLL OUT.

THE TOP. WE WANT TO THIS IS WHERE WE OFFER SERVICES.

THIS IS WHERE WE LOOK FOR AREAS TO BE PLUGGED THROUGH GRANTS AND ADDITIONAL DATA GRANTS AND MENTAL HEALTH SOLUTIONS. OUR FOCUS, AND REALLY WHAT WE HAVE LAUNCHED, AND HAD THE MOST SUCCESS ON, THIS IS A COMMUNITY LED PROGRAM WHERE WE HAVE LAUNCHED A SERIES OF TRAINING THIS IS WHERE THEY CAN GET ONTO OUR PORTAL THEY CAN LEARN THE WARNING SIGNS OF VETERANS IN CRISIS AND ASKED THEM IF THEY NEED HELP AND GET THEM RESOURCES.

ALL OF THE PROGRAMS THE PROGRAMS FIT TOGETHER. YOU WILL SEE WE ARE ON TRACK FOR THIS GOING FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT. THIS IS WHERE WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF LAUNCHING. THE DIFFICULT THING IS GAUGING SUCCESS.

COMMISSIONER ASKED ABOUT THIS. WE KNOW THE DATA IS TWO YEARS IN ARREARS AND IT DOESN'T GO DEEPER THAN THE STATE LEVEL. THE PROGRAMS WOULD PUT TOGETHER ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE LOGIC MODEL. THE EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAM IS WHAT WE BELIEVE ENGAGING VETERANS -- BUT VETERANS TO GET TO THE RESOURCES THEY NEED. THAT WILL BE THE MAIN DETERRENT OF SUICIDE. OUR MAIN TWO WAYS THAT WE MAGIC SUCCESS NOW ARE GATEKEEPERS OUT THERE TRAINED AND BEING VIGILANT. WE ARE AT 754 AS OF APRIL 30.

THE NUMBER OF RESOURCES IS ANOTHER THING. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IT IS EASY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE TAKEN THE TRAINING AND KNOW TO ASK A VETERAN IF THEY NEED HELP AND WHERE TO GET THE HELL. THEY HAVE TO ACCESS THE VETERANS RIGHT ANYWAY, EASILY IN A MANNER WHERE THE RESOURCES ARE VETTED AND IN PLACE. WE MEASURE THE RESOURCES ON ONE OF THE PROGRAMS YOU MAY HAVE SEEN ON THAT TOP HEMISPHERE IS A GUIDE WHICH WE HAVE OVER 400 RESOURCES WITHIN THE REGION WITH EVERYTHING FROM LEGAL AID TO FINANCIAL AID TO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES TO PHYSICAL HELP TO ADDRESS THE WARNING SIGNS OF VETERANS IN CRISIS.

FINALLY, THIS IS OUR BUDGET. IN FY 20 THIS MEANT WAS $386,000 TO CREATE PROGRAMS THAT WE BUILD. THE BUDGET FOR FY 21 IS 727 AND WE ARE ASKING FOR 811,000.

I THINK YOU HAVE HANDOUTS AND YOU WILL SEE THE DATA POINTS MEASURE OF.

THERE IS ONE SMALL INCONSISTENCY SINCE WE SUBMITTED THE FUNDING REQUEST.

WE HAVE TALKED TO A VENDOR AND WE HAVE A 5,000-DOLLAR INCREASE. YOU WILL SEE THAT ON THE HANDOUT IT WILL GO FROM $8,006 OR $8,000.11. THE TOTAL REQUEST IS 170,000.

WE ARE ASKING OF CLAY COUNTY 25,000 WHICH IS A BIG STEP UP FROM LAST YEAR.

[00:35:03]

WILL BE THE PROTECTIVE SYSTEM THAT WE PUT IN PLACE. >> DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY

QUESTIONS? >> I CAN SAY I HAVE EXPERIENCED SUICIDE AS A COMMANDER IN THE MILITARY, IT IS A RESULT OF STRESS IN THE PHYSICAL SENSE THE EMOTIONAL SENSE, THE FINANCIAL ASPECT OF RUNNING YOUR LIFE. WHEN YOU LIVE IN A MACHINE ABOVE THE WATER OR BELOW THE WATER FOR 5-6 MONTHS, IT WEARS ON YOU. THE STRESS RESULTED IN THE SUICIDE OF ONE INDIVIDUAL AND IT WAS MANIFESTED IN THE MURDER OF HIS SON. HE KILLED HIS SON.

I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION. THE MICRO GRANTS. TOLD ME ABOUT THAT.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR. I WILL BE UPFRONT WITH YOU. I AM ALWAYS SUSPICIOUS WHEN ONE NONPROFIT SAFE ABLE TO GIVE MONEY TO ANOTHER ONE. ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANTED TO DO IS MAKE SURE WE HAD AN INNOVATIVE PROGRAM WHICH WE THINK WE HAVE.

ANY FEEDBACK WOULD BE TREMENDOUS. WE ALSO WANTED TO MAKE SURE, IF WE COULD LEVERAGE THE NAME AND REPUTATION TO HELP OTHER NONPROFITS.

YOU HAVE A GREAT ORGANIZATION HERE AND CLAY COUNTY. THEY DO -- A RETIRED VEREEN STARTED IT. AND RAILING IS NOW THE HEAD OF IT.

$3,000 WILL MAKE A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE TO PUT HOMELESS VETERANS IN A HOTEL.

WE FEEL LIKE WHAT WE CAN DO AS FAR AS THE FIRE WATCH AND THE ABILITY TO GET DIFFERENT AREAS AND GRANTS THAT THEY COULD NOT GET, WE WANT TO HELP THEM. WE ARE NOT TRYING TO BUILD RESOURCES WE WANT TO BE A CONNECTION POINT. THESE MICRO GRANTS COULD BE

$3,000 TO $5,000 BUT THEY WOULD BE GREAT. >> THE LAST COMMENT I HAVE, I CAN SUMMARIZE YOUR MISSION BY STATING IT IS PREVENTION THROUGH INTERVENTION.

I HAD THE UNFORTUNATE OPPORTUNITY OF HAVING TO VISIT MY DOCTOR.

ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WAS, DO YOU FEEL SAFE AT HOME. DO YOU HAVE A GUN AT HOME.

THIS IS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO INTERVENE. I ASKED HIM, HAVE YOU EVER HAD ANYONE ANSWER YES. THIS IS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO PREVENT SOMETHING UNFORTUNATE

HAPPENING IN SOMEONE'S LIFE. >> YOU RECALL IN THEIR PROGRAM, ALL OF THE PROGRAMS WORK TOGETHER. THE PROGRAMS ARE FOCUSED ON ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY TO GET WARNING SIGNS. THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THE HELP THEY NEED IS THERE.

WHEN WE HAD SAM SIT DOWN TO DO AN EXERCISE ONE THING THAT IDENTIFIED HIS WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO ENGAGE THE WHOLE HEALTHCARE COMMUNITY TO ASK THAT QUESTION.

NOT JUST AT THE VA, BUT ASK ARE YOU A VETERAN AND DO YOU HAVE A WEAPON AT HOME, DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT. BASIC SUICIDE SCREENING IS THE BEST THEY HAVE SEEN.

WHEN WE IDENTIFIED LIKE CRISIS CARE OR WHEN WE LOOK AT THE VETERAN SUICIDE DATA AND WE IDENTIFY WEAKNESSES OR POCKETS IN THE COUNTY WHERE THERE IS PROCLIVITY FOR SUICIDE IN AREAS WHERE WE HYPOTHESIZE WE WILL HAVE A HIGH RATE OF SUICIDE. WE CAN USE THE GRANTS TO CLOSE

THE GAPS. THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR

[00:40:01]

COMMENTS? >> I JUST WANTED TO SAY AS A MOTHER OF A SOLDIER, THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO, THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO FOR OPERATION BARNABAS.

I HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING WAYLON A FEW WEEKS AGO. I THINK HE WILL CARRY THE TORCH WELL. AND MR. BERNIE IS A NEIGHBOR OF MINE.

I DON'T WANT TO BE MORE CONNECTED THAN THAT. I HOPE MY SON NEVER NEED YOUR

SERVICES BUT I THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO. >> HE SENDS HIS APOLOGIES.

WE WANTED TO GET A DATE FOR WHEN YOU ARE HAVING THE MEETING. THEY ARE PRETTY BUSY RIGHT NOW.

>> WHEN I LEFT MY HOUSE THIS MORNING AT 7:30 P.M. HE WAS LEAVING HIS YARD.

>> MY BROTHER, I HAD A BROTHER WHO DIED OF SUICIDE AS A VETERAN.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND I DEFINITELY SEE A BIG NEED FOR IT.

>> GENTLEMEN, THANK YOU WE APPRECIATE THE TIME AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR FROM YOU.

WE WILL GET BACK TO YOU. >> ALL RIGHT, SO WE MOVE ON WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES.

[APPROVAL OF MINUTES]

CORRECTIONS OR SUBTRACTIONS? ANY COMMENTS? >> I HAVE A CORRECTION FOR THE MINUTES OF THE 27TH OF APRIL. IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATION, I THINK IT IS ON PAGE FOUR. ANYWAY, THERE WAS A MIXUP IN THE RESPONSES TO THE TWO ISSUES.

THE FIRST ONE BEING RV AND BOAT, ALLOWANCE AND DIFFERENT AREAS AND THE OTHER WAS ACCESSORY BUILDING. THE TWO RESPONSES WERE FLIP-FLOPPED.

I THINK IT WAS A MECHANICAL PROBLEM BETWEEN THE TWO ORGANIZATIONS SO WE NEED TO WORK

THAT OUT. >> MR. SHERIFF IMAI, WE LOOKED INTO IT.

I ASKED TROY TO FIGURE IT OUT. IT DEPENDS WHEN THE MINUTES ARE BEING PUSHED.

IF WE PUSH THE MINUTES AND THE CLERK'S OFFICE, IT ERASES EVERYTHING.

THERE ARE SOME PROCESSES WITHIN THE PROCEDURES THAT WE NEED TO COORDINATE.

>> I THINK, I WOULD NOT CALL IT AN IT PROBLEM. I WOULD CALL IT PUSHING THE MINUTES BEFORE THE AGENDA GETS PUSHED. THAT IS THE SIMPLEST WAY I CAN

PUT IT. >> HOW DO YOU CORRECT IT? >> FOR TONIGHT'S MEETING, I MAKE

A MOTION WE FLIP-FLOPPED THAT. >> WE CAN DO THAT AND JUSTIN& FROM THE CLERK'S OFFICE, AS ALREADY DONE THAT IN TERMS OF CORRECTING THE RECORD. THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE SO WE CAN ACTUALLY ADOPTED AND PASS THIS AS CORRECTED. THEY WILL BE PUBLISHING THE

RIGHT MINUTES. >> I MAKE A MOTION WE PASS THIS AS CORRECTED.

>> EMOTION AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. IT CARRIES.

ANY CORRECTIONS NEEDED OR SUGGESTIONS? IF NOT WE WILL ENTERTAIN A

MOTION. >> WE PASS THE WORKSHOP MEETING MINUTES.

>> WE HAVE A SECOND PERIOD ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED? THE MOTION CARRIES 5-0. WE MOVE ONTO PUBLIC COMMENTS. WE ONLY HAVE ONE CARD AT THIS

[PUBLIC COMMENTS]

SCOTT. >> GOOD AFTERNOON. >> IT IS GOOD TO BE HERE WITH YOU. I'M THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION.

I WOULD LIKE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT EARLIER TODAY, THE COMMISSIONER AND I ALONG WITH 50 OTHER STAKEHOLDERS AND RESIDENTS AND PROPERTY OWNERS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS, ATTENDED THE WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT BOARD MEETING. I AM HAPPY TO REPORT THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE PROPOSED MFL AND WE ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE PROJECTS.

[00:45:08]

I THINK ALL OF YOU KNOW AND ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA AND CAN UNDERSTAND HOW DEVASTATING THAT WOULD BE. WE ARE ALL ANTICIPATING THE CONSORTIUM WILL FOLLOW SUIT TO CHALLENGE THE MFL'S. THE REASON I AM TELLING YOU THIS IS BECAUSE I BELIEVE THERE WILL BE A TIME WHERE THIS BODY WILL HAVE TO MAKE A DETERMINATION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TO INTERVENE OR ASSIST IN THE LITIGATION. I DON'T WANT TO STEAL HER THUNDER BUT I DID WANT TO LET YOU KNOW, FROM THE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION PERSPECTIVE, AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE LIVE IN THE AREA, HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS. EXCUSE ME, I AM SORRY. I WANT TO ENCOURAGE EACH OF YOU TO BECOME EDUCATED ON THIS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT. I KNOW A LOT OF YOU ARE BUT FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT, PLEASE DO THAT IN THE NEXT WEEK. I BELIEVE YOU WILL BE IN A DECISION-MAKING POSTURE BEFORE NOT TOO LONG. I WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF

NOT. >> THERE IS A 21 DAY DWELLING. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT?

>> IF I DID I WOULD BE SPECULATING. >> IT IS COMPLICATED.

IT WOULD TAKE A LAWYER TO EXPLAIN IT. I AM NOT SURE WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN

IN THE 21 DAYS. BUT IN ANY EVENT,. >> IT APPEARED TO BE A PROTEST.

THE UTILITY OF AUTHORITIES HAD 21 DAYS TO DECIDE IF THEY WOULD ACCEPT THE DISTRICT'S OPINIONS ARE NOT. ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE BOARD THIS AFTERNOON. WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENTS AT THIS TIME AND MOVE

[CONSENT AGENDA]

WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. >> I WANT TO PULL NUMBER FIVE. >> IF WE APPROVE THE CONSENT

AGENDA WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ITEM NUMBER FIVE. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO TAKE NUMBER FIVE OUT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR OF APPROVING THE REMAINDER OF THE CONSENT AGENDA PLEASE SAY AYE. MOTION CARRIES 5-0.

[5.  Satisfaction of Mortgages for Herring]

>> I DO NOT KNOW WHY I DID NOT SEE IT EARLIER. THERE ARE TWO MORTGAGES AND THAT

IS WHAT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND. 16,000878 AND 7500. >> THE FIRST ONE IS FOR DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE. THE SECOND ONE IS FOR REHAB AND REHABILITATION.

>> BUT THEY ARE BOTH CALLED MORTGAGES? THAT IS THE ONLY THING.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, COULD WE HAVE A MOTION TO PASS?

>> I ANY DISCUSSION THE MOTION CARRIES 5-0. >> MOVED TO DISCUSSION AND

[9.  Progress Report on the Bonded Transportation Program (E. Dendor)]

UPDATES. THEN WE WILL GET A COVID UPDATE. >> GOOD AFTERNOON.

[00:50:01]

FOUR BIDS WERE OPENED ON APRIL 22. THE STAFF RECOMMENDED FOR THE LOWEST BID UP 17 MILLION. THEY WERE FOUND TO BE TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE.

THE BIDS INCLUDED SCOPE AND PRICING IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COUNTY'S ROADWORK.

THAT PRICING CAME IN ACTUALLY, A LITTLE UNDER 5% UNDER BUDGET. FOR GROUP TWO, COUNTY ROAD 209, AND COUNTY ROAD 315 THE COUNTY CONTINUES TO NEGOTIATE WITH JACOBS ENGINEERING.

THE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY WAS RATED THE HIGHEST CONTRACTOR AND STAFF RECOMMENDED INTO A CONTRACT TO NEGOTIATE CONTRACT SERVICES. FOR GROUP NUMBER ONE WHICH IS RUSSELL ROAD AND SAND RIDGE ROAD, THEY WERE EVALUATED WITH THE HIGHEST FIRM BY THE STAFF AND RECOMMENDED TO ENTER INTO NEGOTIATIONS. A REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION AS ADVERTISED ON APRIL 30. FOR PROJECT SIX, THE TEAM FINALIZED ROAD ALIGNMENT AND IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING THE DEVELOPERS AGREEMENT.

THEY FINISH THEIR FIELD SURVEY WORK. AS WELL AS STARTING THE TECHNICAL WORK AND THEY STARTED DEVELOPING THE 30% DESIGN PACKAGE.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE NEXT MONTH WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE DEVELOPERS AS WELL AS WITH TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION. WE EXPECT TO ENTER INTO AND CONTINUE NEGOTIATIONS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES AS WELL AS CONTINUED NEGOTIATIONS FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES.

WE ARE ALSO EXPECTING TO RECEIVE PROPOSALS FOR CONSTRUCTION. I SAY THAT IS A LOT OF WORK.

COMMISSIONER, LAST MONTH YOU ASKED A QUESTION OF WHERE IS IT SHOWN IF WE ARE ON TRACK AND WE LOOKED AT THE DASHBOARD AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THAT. JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, WHEN WE REPORT EVERY WEEK, THE KEY PROCESS INDICATORS ONE IS WHETHER WE ARE AHEAD OR BEHIND ON THE EXISTING SCHEDULE. ALL OF THOSE ARE ON TARGET SO, WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE WILL LOOK FOR A BETTER WAY OF REPRESENTING THAT ESPECIALLY WHEN WE DO A CONTRACT WITH THE

DESIGNERS. >> WITH THAT, WE DO NOT SEE ANYTHING STANDING IN THE WAY OF

PROGRESS AND WE ARE OPEN FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >> VERY GOOD.

I APPRECIATE THAT. >> NOW WE WILL GET OUR COVID UPDATE.

[10.  COVID Update]

HEATHER FROM THE CLAY COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. >> APPY MAY.

>> SAME TO YOU. WE ARE IN MONTH 14 GOING INTO 15.

THE CASES HAVE REMAINED FAIRLY STEADY. 7.5% POSITIVITY RATE.

WE HAVE PLATEAUED WHICH IS MORE THAN WHAT WE WANT BUT WE DO KNOW COVID-19 IS HERE TO STAY.

FOR THE VACCINATION RATE WE DID HIT OUR TARGET BOOK FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTY, WE ARE 37% THAT HAVE HAD ONE DOSE. JUST TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE THE POT DID CLOSE ON FRIDAY.

THE DISPENSING WE DID WITH EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND THE REGIONAL IMC THEY DID JUST SHY OF 40,000 DOSES AT THE TIME THE POD WAS OPENED OUT OF THE 110,000 THAT WERE GIVEN.

AS OF MONDAY THAT REPRESENTED 30% OF THE DOSES. THAT IS AN AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR THE COUNTY. WE CONTINUE TO DO ONGOING VACCINATION CAMPAIGNS.

JOHN WILL TALK ABOUT THE CURATIVE SIDE. WE ARE DOING THE VACCINATIONS AT THE CLINIC AND WE HAVE HIRED TWO RNS. WE WILL BE DOING SOME INCENTIVE ITEMS ON MONDAY TO GET PEOPLE TO COME TO US MORE OFTEN. THEY WILL COME OUT TO COME TO

[00:55:06]

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >> I DROVE BY, I WOULD NOT KNOW THAT WE GAVE IMMUNIZATIONS THERE. YOU HAVE 60-80,000 CARS THAT DRIVE BY.

WE HAVE ORDERED SIGNS BUT THE COUNTY DOES NOT HAVE ANY AND TWO ARE CURRENTLY BROKEN.

WE ARE DOING THAT. I AM ASKING STAFF DO THEY WANT TO.

WE ARE DOING WHAT WE CAN TO GET PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT. I DID REACH OUT TO DIANE ABOUT PUTTING SIGNS UP THERE, SHE DID APPROVE THAT AND WE PUT SIGNS THERE.

SO, WE ARE TRYING TO DO AS MUCH AS WE CAN. WE ARE ONLY ONE LOCATION.

ALL OF YOUR PHARMACIES AND DOCTORS OFFICES NOW HAVE THE VACCINES.

>> THAT IS WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY. WHEN I WAS IN WINN-DIXIE, THEY HAD TO PEOPLE THERE AND A YOUNG PEOPLE THAT ATTRACT THE YOUNG LADY HELPING PEOPLE CHECK AND SAID THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE GETTING. SOME PEOPLE DON'T SHOW UP.

WLMART HAD NO ONE IN THERE AND THEY HAVE SIGNS THAT SAY WALK-INS ARE WELCOME AND THEY HAD NO ONE. I THINK, WE CAN DO AS MUCH AS WE WANT.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED TO DO THAT. I THINK IT IS AN OVERALL POPULATION. WE HAVE GIVEN THE VACCINES TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE CAN AND THEN IT WILL JUST TRICKLE WHEREVER. WHAT IS THE NEXT HIGHEST AGE RANGE IN TERMS OF PERCENTAGES.

>> THE NEXT SCIENCE WOULD BE 50-59 -YEAR-OLDS. WE ARE STILL MAKING STRIDES IN THAT AREA. A LITTLE BIT ABOUT VACCINES. THE FDA DID JUST APPROVE -- AUTHORIZE THE 12-15-YEARS-OLD. WE ARE WAITING FOR THAT TO GO TO THE CDC ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

THEY WILL THEN PUT THAT GUIDANCE OUTSOLD NEXT WEEK WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO START THAT.

THE FDA WILL BE SEEKING FULL APPROVAL FROM FDA SHORTLY. THE GOOD THING IS, THAT IS HOW WE CAN GET INTO THOSE SCHOOLS WITHOUT APPARENT BEING PRESENT. MAYBE IN THE FALL WE CAN GET INTO THE HIGH SCHOOLS AND GET THOSE VACCINATED BETTER IN THAT AGE GROUP.

THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR THOSE. WE WANT TO GET TO WHERE PEOPLE WILL BE. THE MESSAGE HAS TO BE IMPORTANT IN THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAVE TO SAY THIS IS NOT OVER. STILL WHERE YOUR FACE COVERING IF YOU ARE IN MIXED COMPANY.

WE STILL HAVE BREAKTHROUGH CASES. I THINK WE ARE AT 16-17.

WE DO HAVE GREAT NEW CASE THAT ATTRACT NEW CASES, BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THOSE WHO ARE THE

MOST VULNERABLE, WHICH DISTRACT MAKE SURE YOU WEAR MASKS. >> DO YOU EXPECT TO WORK TO COORDINATE TO GET THE PFIZER VACCINES TO THE PEDIATRICIAN'S OFFICE FOR THE GROUPS THAT DON'T

HAVE COLD STORAGE. >> WE WILL DO A DROP ON MONDAYS TO THEM.

WE CAN REDISTRIBUTE IT TO THEM IN CASE THEY DON'T HAVE STORAGE CAPABILITIES.

WE WILL DROP THEM ON MONDAY WITH AN ANTICIPATED NUMBER THAT THEY FEEL THEY CAN VACCINATE.

IT IS GOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR FOR FIVE DAYS. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THAT.

>> IS A PRETTY STEADY? >> WE ARE STILL ADD 2%. SO, WE ARE NOT SEEING THE DEATHS COMMAND LIKE WE USED TO. THESE ARE THE ONES THAT THE MORTALITY.

THEY WERE MORE LIKELY TO SURVIVE IF THEY -- IF WE CAN INCREASE THE NUMBER, THE DEATH RATE WE

HAVE NOW, WILL BE. >> LIKE WE SAID BEFORE, EVEN WHEN WE WERE DOING MITIGATION& STRATEGIES, WE NEEDED TO PROTECT THE MOST VULNERABLE. THOSE WERE THE ONES AT THE

[01:00:04]

IT IS TIME TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH THOSE IN YOUR HOME TO SAY YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE AND YOU CAN

IMPACT THOSE AROUND YOU. >> HAVE YOU HEARD OR SEEN ANYTHING IN REGARDS TO THE

LENGTH OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE VACCINES. >> CLINICAL TRIALS, WE ARE HITTING THE SIX MONTH MARK. THEY ARE CONTINUING TO FOLLOW THE TRIALS.

THERE WERE MANY DEPENDING ON THE MANUFACTURE. THEY CHECKED IN FOR TWO YEARS.

THEY TRACKED THEM MEANING THEY DID QUESTIONNAIRES, SURVEYS AND BLOODWORK TO LOOK FOR THE COMMUNITY LEVEL SPIRIT WE HIT THRESHOLDS AND THEN WE LEARN MORE IF WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE

VIRUS BASED ON THE VARIANCE. >> ONE LAST THING I HAVE IN TERMS OF THE UFC EVENT THAT WAS HERE. DID WE SEE ANY UPTICK OR OUTBREAK FROM THAT?

>> I DON'T KNOW THE NUMBER. I HAVE NOT CHECKED ON IT IN OVER A WEEK.

I DON'T KNOW OFF OF THE TOP OF MY HEAD SO I DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU A NUMBER THAT IS NOT REAL.

>> INDIA IS SUFFERING TREMENDOUSLY. IT IS ONE YEAR AFTER THE REST OF THE WORLD. IS IT A UK VARIANT? DO YOU KNOW?

>> WE HAVE DISCUSSED THAT A LITTLE TO SAY WHY IS THIS HAPPENING NOW.

I DON'T KNOW THEIR MITIGATION STRATEGIES TO KNOW WHAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT, WHY YOU WOULD SEE THE SEARCH. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY LOOSEN THEIR STRATEGIES TOO SOON.

I HAVE NOT LOOKED INTO THAT. WE ARE SEEING A FOURTH WAVE IN THE NORTHWEST PART OF THE COUNTRY. EVEN WHEN I LOOK AT THE AGE BRACKETS, THE MAJORITY OF THE CASES ARE IN THIS RANGE. THAT'S ALSO THE BIGGEST POPULATION NOT VACCINATED.

WE HAVE TO GET THEM IN GET THEM VACCINATED. >> THANK YOU, HEATHER.

>> HELLO EVERYONE. AS SHE STATED, THE POD CLOSED ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

I DON'T THINK I SAW A HAPPIER GROUP. WE HAVE ALL BEEN ACTIVATED AS OF THAT DAY. FROM THE START WE HAVE SEEN THAT IT SOLD MY SOUL TO SEE EVERYONE PUT THINGS BACK. AS HEATHER MENTIONED, WE DO HAVE SITES WHERE THEY WERE BOUNCING AROUND DOING THE ROTATION. THEY STARTED IN KEYSTONE AND THEY ACTUALLY WANT TO STAY IN THEATER AS LONG AS WE WILL HAVE THEM HERE. WE WILL UPDATE THE GROUP AND CALL CENTER AND REACHING OUT TO THE CHURCHES AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

THERE WILL ALWAYS BE PLACES AND THE PRIVATE SECTORS ARE OF. SO VERY GOOD.

>> CAN YOU COMMENT ON THE POWER OUTAGES AND TELL US WHAT YOU KNOW.

>> WHENEVER WE HAVE A POWER OUTAGE, WE REACH OUT AND HAVE COMMUNICATION.

WHEN WE GET AROUND THE FIVE HOUR MARK WE HIGHLIGHT THE HIGHLIGHT THE AREA THEREIN AND WE REACH OUT TO THE SPECIAL NEEDS AND MAKE SURE THEY HAVE ELECTRICITY. WE HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH

THEM AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES. >>

[01:05:03]

>> WE CAN COMMUNICATE WITH THE BRANCHES AND THEY CAN DEAL AND TALK.

IS NOT REALLY OUR JURISDICTION ECHO AROUND AND SPEAK TO THEM. IT IS A PRIVATE SECTOR PROVIDER

FOR THEM. >> WE HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE ON THIS RIGHT.

CAN WE INVITE THEM TO DISCUSS WHAT HAPPENED. >> I CAN REACH OUT TO DALE AND

ANDY. >> KAZAKHSTAN AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN.

[11.  American Recovery/CARES Act Update]

WE ARE TRYING TO CLEAN IT UP. HOPEFULLY, INTO ASKED MEMBERS WILL CHANGE.

>> YOUR RENTAL ASSISTANCE UPDATE. 1295 AS WE CLOSE THE APPLICATION PROCESS. 424 COMPLETED APPLICATIONS THAT HAVE EVERYTHING COMPLETED AND WE ARE INVENTING THEM. VICTORIOUS TEAM IS MAKING PHONE CALLS TO GET THE APPLICATIONS CLOSED OUT. IF WE FUNDED EVERYTHING WE ARE AT 1.7 OF THE ONCE COMPLETED.

FIFTY-THREE APPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN FULLY APPROVED. THAT 13% OF THE.

>> SO AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN. ROUND TWO OF THE EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE WAS ACTUALLY DUE YESTERDAY. YOU WILL SEE IN A FEW MINUTES ME ASKING FOR PERMISSION AND THE FIVE DAY TURNAROUND. THIS CAN BE USED NEXT CALENDAR YEAR FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE.

THIS WILL HELP THEM GET INTO YOUR RENTAL. FEDERAL ALLOCATION.

THIS OPEN YESTERDAY. THIS APPELLEES WILL RECEIVE A DIRECT ALLOCATION.

THE GUIDANCE WAS RELEASED YESTERDAY. IT IS 155 PAGES LONG AND WE ARE

READING THROUGH IT AS WE SPEAK. >> THESE ARE THE THREE ACTION ITEMS WE ARE ASKING FOR FROM THE BOARD TODAY. THIS IS RELATED TO THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN SPECIFICALLY THE AMERICAN RENTAL ASSISTANCE AND THE ALLOCATION DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE RESCUE PLAN.

OF COURSE THAT MONEY WILL OPEN THE APPLICATION PROCESS. THE SOONER WE APPROVE THAT, THE SOONER WE GET OUR MONEY, THEY ARE SAME FOR-5 DAYS. WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR IS THE ABILITY FOR THE COUNTY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENTS AND BASICALLY RETROACTIVE THE ONES WE HAD TO DO FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE. THE SECOND ITEM WOULD BE GREAT RELATED. IF THERE ARE GRANTS RELATED TO THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN WE ARE SEEING SHORT TURNAROUND TIMES. WE ARE ASKING THAT IF WE CAN'T BRING THIS TO THE BOARD YOU ALLOW THE COUNTY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THOSE THIS WOULD STILL COME BACK TO THE LORD.

LET US APPLY FOR THE GRANT WITHOUT BRINGING THAT TO THE BOARD.

THIS BULLET POINT AT THE BOTTOM IS IF YOU APPROVE THOSE, ANY APPROVALS WILL BE BROUGHT BACK UNDER THE COUNTY MANAGER'S BUSINESS TO RATIFY ANYTHING THE COUNTY MANAGER HAS TO DO OUTSIDE OF THE PROCESS. IF YOU DON'T MIND, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR VICE

VERSA? >> SOMEONE SAID, ON THE EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE, I MEAN, I THINK IT IS WORTHWHILE TO SAY, TELL ME ABOUT THE FIRST ROUND.

YOU STILL HAVE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE TO GO THROUGH. HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THAT WILL TAKE. THE APPLICATIONS ARE DONE? MANCHESTER, SHE CAN GO THROUGH

WHAT CHANGES SHE HAS MADE AND HOW TO EXPEDITE THE PROCESS. >> HELLO.

[01:10:08]

WE HAVE MOVED SOME OF OUR SAFFRON AROUND TO GET THE INITIAL REVIEW DONE AT A FASTER PACE. WE'RE GOING BACK TO THE ROOTS OF THE BIGGEST THING WE ARE RUNNING INTO IS THAT WE ARE MISSING ITEMS. WE NEED UPDATED IDS, THAT IS OUR MAIN FOCUS. TO GET EVERYTHING IN SO, ONCE WE HAVE EVERYTHING IT DOES RUN SMOOTHLY. THE MAIN FOCUS IS GET THE THINGS CLOSED OUT AND MOVED ONTO THE NEXT PROCESS AND THEN MY TEAM LEAD, TERESA AND I ARE WORKING THROUGH FINAL APPROVALS TO GET THOSE PUSH THROUGH AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN REEVALUATE WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.

>> THE PERCENTAGE OF REJECTED APPLICATIONS WILL BE PRETTY CONSTANT, THROUGHOUT THE APPLICATIONS. WE DO FIND SOME THAT DON'T QUALIFY.

WE ARE STILL REJECTING BECAUSE SOME DON'T QUALIFY FINANCIALLY. WE HAVE GOTTEN RID OF THE ONES THAT ARE NOT LOCATED IN CLAY COUNTY. NOW WE ARE WORKING THROUGH THE FINANCIAL VERIFICATION AND THAT IS WHAT YOU WILL SEE COMING THROUGH.

WE ARE NOT REJECTING. WE ARE GIVING PEOPLE A TIMELINE TO GET THEIR INFORMATION INTO US BUT WE ARE ENCOURAGING THEM. IF WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO THEM AND GIVING THEM FIVE BUSINESS DAYS TO GIVE US THEIR INFORMATION, IF THEY REACH OUT AND ASKED, I NEED TO SCHEDULE A TIME TO GET MY ID, WE GIVE THEM THAT TIME. WE ARE TRYING TO WORK THROUGH

THIS. >> THERE WAS A RULING ON THE EVICTION PROCESS.

IS IT UNCONSTITUTIONAL TO STOP IT? >> THE EVICTION MORATORIUM WAS ILLEGAL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. IT JUST HAPPENED YESTERDAY.

>> I WILL HAVE TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON THAT. >> THIS IS JUST WHAT IT IS.

>> I HAVE FOUND THAT GIVING THEM A DEADLINE HAS HELPED. THAT IS THE BIGGEST THING, JUST ENCOURAGING THEM TO GET BACK TO US AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. ONCE WE NEED TO REEVALUATE AND REOPEN WE WENT TO REJECT THEM TO -- DUE TO NONRESPONSE. WE WANT TO HELP AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE CAN. JUST ENCOURAGING THEM TO REACH OUT.

JUST MAKE CONTACT WITH US AND WE ARE WILLING TO WORK WITH THEM WE ARE WILLING TO HELP THEM GET

THEIR INFORMATION. >> I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN GO BACK TO THE SLIDE, BUT THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE, IF WE APPROVE THE APPLICATIONS THAT WE HAVE, WE WILL DISPERSE 1.7 MILLION.

>> THAT IS THE ONES THAT HAVE COMPLETED EVERYTHING. LET ME GO BACK A FEW.

ONCE WE GET THROUGH THE 424 APPLICATIONS, THAT WILL BE THE 1.7 MILLION.

>> WHAT HAPPENS TO THE OTHERS? >> CURRENTLY OUR PLAN WOULD BE TO REEVALUATE AND SEE HOW MUCH FUNDING WE HAVE AND COME BACK TO LOOK AT THE APPLICATION PROCESS AGAIN.

>> WE WOULD PROCESS THE APPLICATIONS. THIS IS WORKING OUT REALLY WELL.

>> THE SECOND ROUND OF RENTAL ASSISTANCE IS HOW MUCH MONEY? >> IF SOMEONE DOESN'T HAVE A DOWN PAYMENT OR THE DEPOSIT MAY BE TOO MUCH, USUALLY THERE IS A DEPOSIT AND FIRST MONTH'S RENT,

[01:15:06]

IT'S AN INTERESTING ARTICLE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SO, WHAT THEY ASKED US TO GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THE EXECUTION OF THE FUNDING FOR THE NEXT ROUND OF EMERGENCY RENTAL

ASSISTANCE AND THE ALLOCATION IT WILL RECEIVE. >> IN THE NEXT APPROVE THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN MONEY WHICH IS HALF WHICH IS DUE.

>> I THOUGHT WE WOULD TAKE ONE AT A TIME. IF AND IF IT DOESN'T SEEMED LIKE WE WILL USE IT ALL, I THINK IT IS MUCH BETTER FOR US THEN TO NOT SEND IT BACK.

DO WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FIRST ONE? >> I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR PLEASE SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED IT CARRIES 5-0. NOW LET'S MOVE ON TO THE SECOND

ONE WHICH IS THE APPROVAL FOR THE. >> THE FIRST BULLET WAS THE FEDERAL ALLOCATION FOR THE RESCUE PLAN. THIS WOULD BE THE APPLICATION FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM THAT IS ONLINE NOW. IT WOULD GIVE THE COUNTY MANAGER

THE AUTHORITY TO RECEIVE THE 1ST HALF. >> I JUST SAID MOVE FOR

APPROVAL. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS?

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED, IT CARRIES 5-0. >> THE SECOND BULLET POINT WOULD ALLOW US TO APPLY FOR GRANTS. AS WE TALKED ABOUT A LOT OF THE MONEY IS GOING TO OTHER FEDERAL AGENCIES SO IF WE HAVE GRANTS THAT CAN'T BE BROUGHT TO THE BOARD AS YOUR NORMAL APPROVAL PROCESS ALLOWING US TO HAVE THE COUNTY MANAGER APPROVE THE GRANTS FOR APPLICATION ONLY AND

BRING THE AGREEMENTS BACK UPON ORDER. >> QUESTIONS?

ARE THERE ANY REQUIREMENTS? >> THE DEPENDS ON THE AGENCIES. THERE ARE DIFFERENT THEORIES ON WHAT WILL COME OUT OF HERE. I REMIND THE BOARD THIS WOULD BE FOR THE APPLICATION ONLY.

IF IT IS NOT FAVORABLE YOU CAN ALWAYS TURN IT DOWN. >> IT'S A LOT OF WORK.

>> I AGREE. >> THE PLAN IS IN THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO TO BRING YOU BACK AND A GRAND PLAN FOR THE GRANTS WE APPLY FOR. WE'RE JUST TRYING TO COVER OUR BASES IN CASE A GRANT FROM SAM THAT WE HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO BRIEF YOU ON.

>> I MAKE A MOTION WE AUTHORIZE THE COUNTY MANAGER TO APPLY FOR GRANTS HE CFIT.

>> YOU HAVE A MOTION NANOSECOND. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ANY OPALS, IT CARRIES 5-0. THANK YOU. >> SO WE MOVED TO OLD BUSINESS.

>> TIME CERTAIN SPIRIT. >> HOLD ONTO THAT THOUGHT. THANK YOU COMMISSIONER.

>> SO WE HAVE A COUPLE OF ITEMS FOR THE TIME CERTAIN SPIRIT THE FIRST ONE IS ITEM 21.

[21.  5:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as can be heard - First Public Hearing to Consider a Land Development Code Change to the Conditional Use Requirements for RV and Boat Storage (PC voted 7-0 to approve)(B.Carson)]

[01:20:02]

STORAGE. >> THANK YOU MR. CHAIRMAN. BETH CARSON.

THIS AMENDMENT TO LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO CHANGE THE CONDITIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS FOR RV AND BOAT STORAGE. THE APPLICANT IS FRANK MILLER WHO IS HERE.

THIS WENT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION WHERE THEY VOTED 7-0 IN FAVOR OF THE MEETING.

THIS IS THE FIRST OF TWO HEARINGS. THE SECOND WILL BE LATER THIS MONTH. THERE IS NO ACTION REQUIRED TONIGHT.

THIS IS JUST FOR INFORMATION. THIS IS A PROPOSED LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

THE CONDITIONAL USE IS IN AS MARY. BRAND-NEW COMMUNITY CENTER AND WHICH IN THIS CASE, YOU APPROVE THAT ON APRIL 22. THESE PROPOSED CHANGES WERE ORIGINALLY PART OF THEIR. DUE TO AN ADVERTISING WE HAVE TO BRING THEM SEPARATELY.

THE PROPOSED CHANGES ARE IN THE STAFF REPORT IN YOUR PACKAGE. COMPLETE CHANGES, I WILL GO THROUGH EACH ONE. THE FIRST IS TO ADD A MINIMUM SIZE OF 3 ACRES TO THE SITE.

WE REQUIRE THAT RV AND BOAT STORAGE HAVE ACCESS AND THE PROPOSED LANGUAGE IS TO CHANGE THAT TO ADD AN EXCEPTION SO IF THEY ARE WITHIN THE MASTER-PLANNED COMMUNITY, WITHIN THE MASTER PLAN OR WITHIN THE COMMUNITY CENTER WITHIN THE MASTER PLAN OR WITHIN THE VILLAGE CENTER, THAT ACCESS CAN BE FROM A COLLECTOR OR ROADWAY WITHIN ONE OF THE ZONES.

THAT IS A LOT OF WORDS TO SAY THAT IT WILL BASICALLY BE A MAJOR COLLECTOR OR A ROAD CONNECTING WITHIN THE COMMERCIAL ZONES. AND STILL ONLY ONE POINT OF ACCESS IS PERMITTED. THE NEXT CHANGE, IS CLARIFYING WHAT CONSTITUTES OPEN SPACE BY INCLUDING THE WETLANDS AND SETBACKS AND ANY EXISTING OR VEGETATION AREAS.

NUMBER FOUR IS ADDING SOME SPECIFIC LANGUAGE TO DETERMINE WHAT CONSTITUTES THE PAVEMENTS THAT ARE PERMITTED WHICH WOULD BE CONCRETE ASPHALT OR MATERIAL APPROVED BY THE COUNTY ENGINEER.

NUMBER SIX, ALL RV AND BOAT STORAGE SITES ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A 6-FOOT BARRIER WHETHER A WALL OR FENCE. THIS IS CLARIFYING WHERE BARRIERS ARE REQUIRED.

THEY ARE GOING TO BE REQUIRED ALONG THE FRONT BOUNDARIES ON A PUBLIC ROAD AND ALONG THE SIDES EXTENDING BACK FROM THE FRONT WHERE YOU WOULD SEE YOU THEN. THEY ARE ALSO REQUIRED WHERE YOU ARE ADJACENT TO THE WALL OR FENCE. IF THERE IS, IF THE PROPERTY IS ADJACENT TO WETLANDS, FOR CONSERVATION EASEMENT THE PRESERVES VEGETATION THAT SCREEN DOES NOT HAVE TO BE OPAQUE BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE IN THE OTHER INSTANCES.

THE WROUGHT IRON FENCE IS STILL PERMITTED. AGAIN NO ACTION ON THIS TODAY AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS LET'S OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

MS. MILER DO YOU WANT TO COME DOWN AND ADDRESS THE BOARD MY ARM FRANK MILLER I THINK MATT DID A GREAT JOB EXPLAINING IT& AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

ANYTHING FROM MS. MILLER, STANDBY, WE WILL SEE IF ANYONE HAS ANYTHING.

ANYONE INTERESTED IN TALKING ON THIS ISSUE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

WE WILL BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD, BETH WE WILL REVIEW THIS AGAIN?

>> MAY 25. >> THE THREE ANCHORS, WHAT IS THE INTENTION WITH THAT?

>> I WILL ANSWER THAT. THE IDEA WAS TO AVOID PEOPLE USING AN EXTRA SIDE LOT THAT

[01:25:03]

YOU HAVE TO SPEND $250 TO GET IT SET UP WITH THE PAVING AND IT SEEMED LIKE RATHER THAN HAVING PIECES THAT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO JUSTIFY THAT EXPENSE YOU HAVE A MINIMUM SIDES.

THAT WAS THE REASON. >> WITH THE REVENUE AND MINIMUM PERSON PUTTING IT TOGETHER?

>> WHAT COULD CONCEIVABLY HAVE BEEN OVER MAIN -- OVER TIME THEY DON'T MAINTAIN IT.

>> SO WE WILL DO THIS AGAIN ON THE 25TH OF MAY THAT ENDS OUR TIME CERTAIN'S FOR AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 21. WE DO HAVE A 6:00 P.M. PRIVATE MEETING TO CONSULT WITH THE ATTORNEY. THAT ALLOWS US TO GO BACK TO THE AGENDA WHERE WE LEFT OFF WHICH IS THE APPROVAL OF REVISIONS TO THE STANDING RULES YOU HAVE HAD AN ADDITIONAL COPY AS OPPOSED TO

THE REDLINES DID ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >> I APPRECIATE THE EFFORT.

>> I KNOW YOU HAD SOME QUESTIONS. >> I THINK THEY HAVE BEEN CORRECTED. IT READS RIGHT TO ME TODAY. I WAS GOING TO US FOR MORE

THINGS. THAT ISN'T THERE TOO. >> I MAKE A MOTION.

>> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ANY OPALS, THE MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU TO OUR ATTORNEY FOR HER MANY ADDITIONS. I THOUGHT SHE WAS RUNNING OUT OF

[13.  Agreement for the I-CON Retrofit at the Clay County Jail with Intelligent Conservation Systems, Inc.]

>> ALRIGHT UNDER NEW BUSINESS NUMBER 14 RESOLUTION GRAIN A PUBLIC SAFETY COORDINATING COUNCIL IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 951.26 FLORIDA STATUTES OUR ATTORNEY CAN EXPLAIN A

LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR ACCIDENT. >> IT'S ACTUALLY A TWO-PART RESOLUTION. IT IS TO COMPLY WITH THE FLORIDA STATUTE REQUIREMENT FOR EVERY COUNTY TO HAVE A PUBLIC SAFETY COUNCIL. THERE'S ANOTHER STATUTE, THAT SAYS THAT IN ORDER TO HAVE IN CONNECTION WITH THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE GRANT PROGRAM THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PLANNING COUNCIL AND THAT STATUTE

[01:30:02]

THE LIST OF MEMBERS LAID OUT IN THE RESOLUTION ARE REQUIRED BY STATUTE AND THAT FULFILLS THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THOSE STATUTES. ST. JOHNS COUNTY HAS ONE. DUVALL COUNTY DOES NOT THEY HAVE

SOMETHING SIMILAR THAT THEY USE FOR THIS. >> DID YOU SAY, THE MEMBERSHIP IS MANDATED BY STATUTE? THERE ARE TWENTYSOMETHING MEMBERS ON THEIR.

>> THIS IS LIKE AN UNFUNDED MANDATE. WE HAVE GONE FOR MANY YEARS WITHOUT IT. I'M NOT SAYING IT'S BAD, IT SOUNDS COMPLICATED AND EXPENSIVE WE WILL TRY TO MAKE IT AS UNCOMPLICATED AS POSSIBLE. THIS INDICATES WE SHOULD HAVE ADDED MANY YEARS AGO. IT IS NOW TIME TO GET IT IMPLEMENTED AND WORK WITH IT.

WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DON'T DO IT. THERE'S NO SPECIFIC PENALTY BUT IN CONNECTION WITH THE GRANT PROGRAM IT PROVIDES YOU CAN APPLY FOR THOSE AND WE'VE TALKED TO SOME OF THE JUDGES IN ORDER FOR THEM TO USE THE SERVICES IT IS A WAY TO APPLY FOR THOSE GRANTS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I DON'T KNOW IF THIS MAKES IT ANY EASIER, THE MEMBER FROM OUR BOARD AND SERVICE THE CHAIRPERSON TO GET THE BOARD STARTED AND IT DESIGNATES THE CHAIRPERSON AS THE ORIGINAL MEMBER OF THE BOARD, SO I WILL TAKE THAT OFF OF YOUR SHOULDERS.

>> WE DO HAVE APPROVAL. >> I THOUGHT I COULD CONVINCE YOU TO GO ALONG WITH THAT.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? >> ALL IN FAVOR SAY HELLO. THIS IS MOVING ALONG TO

[01:35:03]

INDISCERNIBLE ) THAT WILL BE AT THE NEXT HEARING. >> QUESTIONS.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION, WHY. >> WHY DOES MR. CLARK WANT IT RETURN.

>> YOU KNOW, JUST A COMMENT. AS A PRIVATE ROAD, ASSUMING THEY ARE NEW MEMBERS AND THEY WOULD TAKE A BACK OVER, DEPENDING ON WHAT THE BOARD FEELS THEY WOULD SAY YES OR NO, SO IT WOULD BE

SUBJECT TO AN MSU WHERE THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE MAINTENANCE. >> DO WE HAVE ANY UTILITIES ON

THAT ROAD? >> NO. IT HAS TO BE -- WHO OWNS THE

RIGHT OF WAYS. >> THAT WOULD BE CLAY ELECTRIC. I WOULD LIKE TO DO WE HAVE THE

SECOND? >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ARE THERE ANY OPPOSED?

>> YES, SIR. >> USE A PHRASE THAT THE COMMISSIONER APPRECIATES.

WE CAN TRAIN AND WE ARE PICKING UP SPEED. >> WORKING ALONE DIDN'T REALIZE

IT. >> THIS IS A MOU. IT IS REGARDING INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE AND WORK ON THE PRESERVE. THE PRESERVE WAS PURCHASED BY NORTH FLORIDA LAND TRUST IN JANUARY OF LAST YEAR. JIM MCCARTHY, IF YOU GUYS WILL REMEMBER, JOE MCCARTHY FROM THE NORTH FLORIDA LAND TRUST CAME TO US JUNE OF LAST YEAR END TALKED

WE DO HAVE TO DO THE IMPERVIOUS PARKING LOT. WE HAVE TO -- THERE ARE SOME TRAILS ON THEIR, THE COUNTY MANAGER AND I DID A TOUR THERE LAST SUMMER.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO A TOUR DURING THE SUMMER PUT ON SOME TICK SPRAY.

JUST A WARNING. THERE ARE SOME TRAILS THERE THAT WE WILL WORK TO MAINTAIN IN PHASE ONE. ALL OF THIS WORK FOR THE MOST PART WILL NOT START UNTIL THEY

ARE FINISHED WITH THE DRIVEWAY. THAT IS IT. >> THERE IS AN ANNUAL REPORT

REQUIRED, WHO DOES THAT? >> THAT IS SPECIFIC. IT IS AN INVENTORY OF PLANTS

ANIMALS AND GATORS AND RATTLESNAKES. >> ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT AS REFERENCED IN THE MANAGEMENT PLAN THAT IS ATTACHED? THAT WOULD BE DONE BY WATER MANAGEMENT OR THE LAND TRUST. WE DON'T HAVE TO GO OUT DOING THAT.

IT IS A PRETTY SIGHT, THAT IS@F. >> NOT IN MY DISTRICT. IS THAT SOMETHING IN TERMS OF

THE PARKING LOT AND OTHER THINGS WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH. >> WE HAVE WHERE WE ARE PLANNING TO DO. WE CAN DO THAT WITH THE PARKS AND REX MAINTENANCE BUDGET.

THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN BUDGETED FOR. >> ONE THING TO NOTE, WE CANNOT

USE CIP FUNDS BECAUSE WE DON'T OWN THE LAND. >> SO WHEN PHASE TWO COMES

AROUND IN 2026, WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE FUNDING DONE PRIOR TO THAT. >> JUST GIVING YOU A HEADS UP.

>> WE HAVE APPROVAL? >> I THINK IT WILL BE GREAT PROPERTY I THINK WE CAN DO THE

BIKE TRAILS AND THOSE THINGS. >> THE COUNTY MANAGER ALREADY WETTED EVERYONE'S APPETITE.

>> IS THAT A KAYAK LAUNCH? >> THAT IS IN THE FOLLOW-UP PHASES.

[20.  Work Squad Agreement with the Florida Department of Corrections (T. Gardner)]

WE WORK AND MOVED TO NUMBER 20 WORK SQUAD AGREEMENT WITH THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF

CORRECTIONS. >> I'M TERESA GARNER THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS.

THIS WORK SQUAD AGREEMENT WITH FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS HAS BEEN SOMETHING WE HAVE A PARTNERSHIP WE'VE HAD FOR MANY YEARS. THE REASON WE HAVE COME TO THE BOARD EARLY IS BECAUSE IT IS AN UNFUNDED POSITION SO THEY NEED TO KNOW WE ARE GOING TO SUPPORT FUNDING. THIS IS WHERE TYPICALLY WE SEE 5-8 PEOPLE COME TO WORK ON PROJECTS. THEY DO A LOT OF GREAT THINGS LIKE THEY DID DOCTOR'S TRAIL AND CLEANUP SPIRIT ROUGHLY IT COMES OUT TO $1,100 PER WEEK. WE GET NOT ONLY THE SUPERVISOR BUT TYPICALLY 5-8 PEOPLE. IT IS A VALUABLE RESOURCE TO DO WORK THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.

ANY QUESTIONS? >> I THINK WE SHOULD KICK THIS TO THE REGULAR AGENDA.

[01:45:02]

>> COURTNEY DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND I ALSO, COURTNEY, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANTED TO ADD

-- >> WHAT WE ACTUALLY LEARNED AND YOU CAN CORRECT ME IT IS AN INCENTIVE PROVIDED FOR THE GUARD IF HE HAS CERTAIN EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS LIKE AN ASSOCIATES DEGREE OR BACHELORS DEGREE OR DOES CERTAIN CONTINUING EDUCATION.

>> WILL YOU DETAILED UP FOR US? >> IF YOU HAVE A BACHELORS DEGREE, $60 PER MONTH.

IF YOU TAKE 80 HOURS OF A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF COURSES IT MAXES OUT AT $130 PER MONTH THAT YOU CAN GET THROUGH THE STATE. IT HAS NOT GONE UP IN 30 YEARS. THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY BACK THEN.

IT'S NO INCENTIVE TO DO THE JOB. >> THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> I MAKE A MOTION WE APPROVE THE CONTRACT. >> SECOND.

>> ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ARE THERE ANY OPALS?

IT CARRIES 5-0. >> LET'S GO TO THE CLERK AND COMPTROLLERS OFFICE?

[CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS]

ANYTHING FOR US TODAY? (SPEAKING AWAY FROM MICROPHONE). >> YOU CAN GIVE US AN UPDATE

BECAUSE WE HAVE TIME BEFORE 6:0. >> JUST TO CLARIFY, THE RULING ON THE BAND OF WEATHER WAS CONSTITUTIONAL OR NOT OR PART OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY ACT AND THE CDC HAD THE AUTHORITY TO DO IT.

WHAT HAPPENED IS THE DEAL JAY IMMEDIATELY APPEALED IT AND THE JUDGE PUT A STAY ON IT SO THAT MAKES THE BAND STILL IN EFFECT UNTIL HE GETS TO A HIGHER COURT. THAT IS JUST TO CLARIFY.

>> OKAY, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU FOR HELPING US OUT WITH OUR EXHIBIT OUTFRONT. VERY NICE. ANY OTHER CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS PRESENT THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE BOARD? WE WILL NOW GO TO THE AUDITOR.

[COUNTY ATTORNEY]

THE COUNTY ATTORNEY? >> JUST TO GIVE YOU A HEADS UP AND THIS WILL BE COMING IN JUNE WE WILL BRING TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE OPIOID MATTER A PROPOSED SETTLEMENT THAT THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL IS ASKING THE COUNTIES TO ENTER INTO.

WE WILL ASK OUR OUTSIDE COUNSEL TO SPEAK TO YOU BECAUSE YOU MAY HAVE QUESTIONS.

BUT IN A NUTSHELL, FUNDS WILL BE USED FOR DIFFERENT PROGRAMS AND CONNECTION WITH OPIOID USE AND TRAINING AND HELPING PEOPLE, BUT IT IS NOT LIKE REIMBURSING US FOR PAST DAMAGES.

>> ANYTHING ELSE FOR COURTNEY AT THIS TIME COLLECTS ANY QUESTIONS.

[COUNTY MANAGER]

WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE COUNTY MANAGER. >> I DON'T WANT TO STEAL JOHN'S THUNDERBIRD JUNE 1, IS THE BEGINNING OF HURRICANE SEASON. WE NEED TO GET PREPARED ACROSS THE BOARD. NOW IS THE TIME TO DO IT. WE HAVE A FEW MORE WEEKS BEFORE IT HAPPENS. LIKE WE HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST, IT SEEMS TO START EARLIER AND EARLIER AS WE GO THROUGH THE SEASONS. THE SECOND THING, UNDER VACCINATIONS AT THE SENIOR CITIZENS CENTERS, OVER 200 WERE VACCINATED AT THE SENIOR CITIZEN CENTER. I KNOW JOHN AND HEATHER DID NOT MENTION THAT.

BUT THERE WAS A REPORT ON THAT AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNEW ABOUT IT.

WE ARE GETTING THROUGH TO PEOPLE IN THE NORMAL ROUTE AND ALSO GOING TO EACH ONE OF THE SENIOR

CITIZENS CENTERS. >> DOES THIS HAVE AN EFFECT ON THEM OPENING?

>> YES. WE DID RECEIVE A LETTER FROM THE GOVERNOR UPON OPENING THE SENIORS CENTERS AND IT WAS VERY NICE FOR THEM TO RECOGNIZE THAT. PENDING ANY QUESTIONS THAT IS

ALL I HAVE. >> NO QUESTIONS. >> WE HAVE A TIME CERTAIN WHICH IS A PRIVATE MEETING WITH THE ATTORNEY AT 6:00 P.M. SO WE CAN HANDLE IT TWO DIFFERENT WAYS.

>> WE CAN JUST ACKNOWLEDGE THOSE. WE CAN DO THE LETTERS OF

[LETTERS OF DOCUMENTATION]

[01:50:05]

[COMMISSIONERS' COMMENTS]

STARTED. >> ALL OF YOU, RECEIVED FROM THE COUNTY MANAGER THE BRIEF THAT JEREMY SENT TO HIS BOARD. I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU AS HE SAID TO GET EDUCATED.

I DO NOT FEEL LIKE THAT REPRESENTS THE ENTIRE STORY. IN A NUTSHELL OF WHAT THE WHOLE SITUATION IS, STATE STATUTE REQUIRES THE WATER DISTRICT ESTABLISH MINIMAL FLOW LEVELS FOR ( INDISCERNIBLE ) BY STATUTE. THAT ACTIVITY FIRST ACCORD IN 1996. IT WAS SCHEDULED TO OCCUR AGAIN IN 2011.

HERE WE ARE, TEN YEARS LATER AND THEY ACTUALLY ESTABLISH THE MINIMUM FLOW LEVELS TODAY.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE TEN YEARS, THEY GOT SMART ON THE SCIENCE. THEY STARTED REALIZING THE MINIMUM FLOW LEVELS THAT WERE ESTABLISHED IN 1996 AND WHERE THE FLOWS WERE, IF THEY HAD ADOPTED THOSE, THEY WOULD HAVE ESTABLISHED AND THEY WERE ABLE TO SEE SALTWATER INTRUSION.

THERE ARE ONLY THREE LAKES IN NORTH MOVE FLORIDA THAT ARE THE RECHARGE AREAS WHICH IS WHERE ALL OF US GET OUR DRINKING WATER FROM. THE THREE LAKES SIT AND KEYSTONE HEIGHTS. THEN A SMALLER LAKE DETACHED. THEY ARE PART OF THE CHAIN THAT STARTS IN CAMP LANDING. IT GOES SOUTH THROUGH CAMP LANDING INTO KEYSTONE HEIGHTS.

WHAT WAS COMMUNICATED TO ME THROUGH THE UTILITY AUTHORITY IS THIS IS A MATH PROBLEM THAT THEY DO NOT AGREE WITH THE MAP WHICH IS A LARGE GROUP OF UTILITIES AND MUNICIPALITIES THAT BELONG TO THIS CONSORTIUM. THEY DON'T AGREE WITH THE MAP OF THE WATER DISTRICT UP WHAT THEIR OBLIGATION WOULD BE. IT'S INTERESTING. THE MINIMUM FLOW LEVELS WERE SET AT AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL. THEY ARE NOT IN SCIENCE THE SAVE OUR LAKES ORGANIZATION.

WE WOULD HAVE LIKED TO SEE THEM BUT THEY ARE NOT AS LONG AS THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY IN 2011 AND WHAT WAS PROPOSED IN 2011. THE INTERESTING THING IS THAT THE REQUIREMENT TO PROVIDE RESTORATION AND SUSTAINABILITY TO ENSURE IT IS RECHARGE, IT CAN BEAT THE UTILITIES CAN PARTICIPATE IN MORE THAN ONE WAY. THEY DON'T HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROJECT. THEY HAVE AN OPTION THAT THEY CAN CHOOSE TO NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANYTHING BUT REDUCE THEIR PERMIT THE NEXT TIME THEY GO TO RENEW IT.

THE THIRD OPTION IS TO COME UP WITH THEIR OWN WATER CONSERVATION PROJECT AND PROPOSE THAT TO THE WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT AND HAVE IT APPROVED. THEY HAVE OPTIONS IT WAS PROPOSED THEY DON'T HAVE OPTIONS AND THEY WERE REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PIPELINE PROJECT. IT IS INTERESTING BECAUSE THE BLACK CREEK PIPELINE PROJECT BENEFITS THE UTILITIES. THE PETITIONS THEY FILE IN OBJECTION TO WHAT THE DISTRICT PAST TODAY, IT KIND OF CUTS OFF THEIR NOSE TO SPITE THEIR FACE. IF THESE ARE RECLASSIFIED AS WEB BERRIES, EVENTUALLY NO UTILITY WILL BE ABLE TO PUMP OUT BECAUSE THEY CAN DRAW DOWN AND WE HAVE A REAL DRINKING WATER PROBLEM ON OUR HANDS. IN ADDITION, ONE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERS THAT WORK WITH THE SAVE OUR LAKES ORGANIZATION DID A LOT OF RESEARCH AND HE ACTUALLY DID MAP ON THE BLACK CREEK FUNDING PROJECT.

I HAVE THESE TO PASS OUT TO YOU. IF THEY WERE TO, WHAT HE DID BASICALLY WAS TAKE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY NEEDED FOR THE COST SHARE AND THE AND DIVIDED OVER 650,000 CUSTOMERS.

[01:55:10]

I THINK THE MOST OFFENSIVE THING, IF IT WAS A MATH PROBLEM THEY WOULD HAVE FILED A PETITION TO SAY, WE OBJECT TO WHAT YOU ARE PROPOSING AND THAT IS NOT WE HAVE OWN PROPERTY IN THIS AREA AND IF YOU KNEW WHAT KEYSTONE HEIGHTS UCB, AND THE AMOUNT OF TAX BASE THAT THEY COULD IN THE FUTURE PROVIDE TO CLAY COUNTY IT WOULD NOT BE AN EMOTIONAL THING? THIS IS IN AND OF ITSELF WORTHY.

THIS IS ABOUT MAINTAINING FOR ALL OF OUR DRINKING WATER AND THE FACT THAT THE UTILITIES HAVE NOT AND THIS MONEY AND WATER FOR FREE, THEY CHARGE THEIR CUSTOMERS BUT THEY ARE PUMP FOR FREE FOR OVER 30 YEARS. ALL THE DISTRICT IS ASKING IS THAT THEY PARTICIPATE AND THE RESTORATION. EDUCATE YOURSELF. GO BACK AND WATCH TODAY'S MEETING, IT IS ABOUT AN HOUR NAP DISCUSSION. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WATCH THAT MUCH, IF YOU WATCH THE FIRST 30 MINUTES, YOU CAN'T GO BACK AND WATCH THEIR APRIL 13 BOARD MEETING. SENATOR BRADLEY IS ON THE BOARD AND HE HAS A VERY ELOQUENT COMMENT I DON'T KNOW IF THIS NEEDS TO DO, THERE IS A GOOD AND BAD SIDE OF THIS.

I WOULD HATE FOR US TO SIT BY AND NOT PARTICIPATE IN TAKING A SIDE.

>> I THINK YOUR SUGGESTION FOR MOVING FORWARD IN EACH COMMISSIONER EDUCATING THEMSELVES ON THE ISSUE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH INFORMATION AND THE COUNTY MANAGER CAN HELP.

PERHAPS, MAYBE WE CAN PUT IT ON AS A DISCUSSION ITEM AND WE CAN MAKE A DETERMINATION TO SEE HOW THINGS ARE GOING AND WE CAN FIGURE OUT A STRATEGY MOVING FORWARD.

>> I HAVE NOTHING MORE. >> WOULD YOU LIKE TO PUT SOMETHING ELSE IN THERE?

>> NO, WE WILL GET IT BACK CORRECTS. >> ON SAVE OUR LAKES WEBSITE, THERE IS GOOD INFORMATION AND I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GO THROUGH THE FILES THAT ARE THERE AND UNDERSTAND, THERE IS A DYNAMIC AND COMPLEX SITUATION THAT GOES ALONG.
