THE FLORIDA TPO TRANSPORTATION MANAGER. ELIZABETH IS JOINING US FOR THE FIRST TIME. UNDERSTAND YOU ARE TAKING OVER. WELCOME TO CLAY COUNTY.WILL LOKING FORWARD TO YOUR PRESENTATION. >> AFTERNOON.
MY NAME IS ELIZABETH. I'M WITH THE TPO. IT IS A REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION AGENCIES SERVING THE SURROUNDING AREAS. I WOULD LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE COMMISSIONERS WHO SERVE ON OUR BOARD. THE FIRST FISCAL QUARTER WE WILL GO OVER. THE TIP IS A FIVE YEAR PROGRAM PLANT THAT INCLUDES OUR WAY TRANSIT, BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN AND ALSO PRODUCTS. IT IS DEVELOPED ANNUALLY AND IT IS PART OF THE LONG-RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN THIS IS THE LARGEST TO COME TO THE REGION.
THIS IS FROM ORANGE PARK TO ORANGE BOULEVARD. THIS IS AN INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT AND CONSTRUCTION IS SCHEDULED ON 2025. THIS IS SOUTH OF THE ROAD.
THIS IS SCHEDULED FOR 2022. THIS PROJECT WILL ADD LANES AND RECONSTRUCTION.
IT IS SCHEDULED FOR 2024. THE NEXUS COUNTY ROAD 220 FROM WEST OF LAKESHORE DRIVE WEST TO EAST OF OLD HARD ROAD. THIS IS AN INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT WE WILL CORRECT THAT. THE NEXUS LANDING BOULEVARD FROM COUNTY ROAD 215.
THE CONSTRUCTION IS SCHEDULED FOR 2,023. SACRAL 21 FROM COMMERCIAL CIRCLE
[00:30:16]
THIS IS PART OF EAGLE PART PARKWAY. THE CONSTRUCTION IS SCHEDULED FOR 2024. IT IS EXPECTED TO COMD IN 2029. WE ALSO PROVIDED A HANDOUT OF ALL OF THE PROJECTS TO YOU. THEY ONLY HAVE A HANDFUL OF PROJECTS.IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I CAN ANSWER THEM NOW. >> GO AHEAD.
>> OF A QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE THE ANSWER BUT I GET THIS QUESTION VERY FREQUENTLY. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHEN THE THE WHITENING AND REPAVING OF BLANDING BOULEVARD THIS WILL BE DONE COME ALONG THE SIDEWALKS, THE GRASS IS NOT MAINTAINED, THERE IS TRASH EVERYWHERE. THERE ARE SOCKS THAT BLOCK THE STORM DRAIN SPIRIT THEY ARE ALL
OVER THE PLACE. >> I FREQUENTLY GET QUESTIONS ABOUT WHEN WILL THEY FINISHED
(SPEAKING AWAY FROM MICROPHONE). >> AFRICAN DISTRICT TO I DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER BACK AND LOOK AT MY FILES AND I KNOW I CAN WRITE DOWN YOUR POINTS THE CONTRACTOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE SIDEWALKS THEY MAINTAIN THE PROJECT SITE SIDE WILL MAKE SURE THE CONTRACTOR NOTE THAT THERE
WAS SOMETHING DEVELOPING THEIR. >> THANK YOU. I WANT TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THAT NUMBER IS IT 417 MILLION? THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HOLD THAT IN PLACE WE ARE GETTING THE LION SHARE. ANYONE THINKS WE ARE NOT GETTING OUR SHARE, TAKE A LOOK AT.
>> I THINK THIS IS REFERRED SPIRIT WHY DON'T WHY DON'T WE MOBILIZE, TELL ME WHY THEY DON'T
JUST GO UP THE ROAD. >> IT IS ON THE SCHEDULE. >> ARE YOU SAYING WHY ARE THEY
SEPARATE SEGMENTS? >> IT IS THE ROAD WHERE WE ARE RESEARCHING.
THEN WE DO THE NORTHERN PART. >> THEY DO OVERLAP. THEY MAY NOT GO TO THE SAME
[00:35:21]
CONTRACTOR WE DO THEM IN SEGMENTS THERE ARE, A LOT OF DATA THAT GOES ALONG WITH MEASURING THE ROAD. WE ALWAYS RUN OUR PROJECTS SOUTH TO NORTH.>> THEY CAN'T HEAR HER IN THE MICROPHONE. SHE IS TALKING INTO THE MICROPHONE BUT IT IS PROBABLY LOW ON BATTERY THAT IS NOT GIVING YOU THE SIGNAL.
>> OUR PROJECTS RUN SOUTH TO NORTH. WE DO THEM IN SEGMENTS RATHER THAN IN ONE LARGE PROJECT FOR DIFFERENT REASONS. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THE SAME PROJECT WILL GET THE SAME CONTRACTOR SO MOBILIZATION WOULD BE NOT EFFECTIVE.
DEPENDING ON HOW WE LET THE PROJECT GO. HAVE YOU GUYS TAKEN A RIDE THROUGH THE COUNTY ROAD 22017 INTERSECTION. THAT THING IS HORRIBLE.
YOU HAVE DEEP HOLES. >> I WRITE THERE QUITE A BIT. DANCER YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE MACHINE, THEY DID NOT REGISTER THERE. >> THE RESURFACING TEAM IS UP THERE ALL OF THE TIME. IT REGISTERS WHAT THEY ARE SENDING FOR.
>> I WAS GOING TO ASK IF WE FLIP-FLOP THE TWO OF THEM. THE INTERSECTION THERE IS A
SAFETY PROBLEM. >> THERE ARE HUGE RUTS IN THERE. THE ASPHALT AT THE INTERSECTION IS FALLING APART. I READ AN ARTICLE WHERE IT SAID THE GOVERNOR APPROVED $2 MILLION THEY SAID IF YOU WANTED TO GET YOUR NAME IN IT WOULD BE A GREAT PROJECT TO PUSH UP.
WE ARE IN LINE WITH THESE BUT THESE ARE CONSTRUCTION LANDINGS. THEY ARE RATHER CONSECUTIVE.
IT TAKES MORE THAN ONE YEAR TO DO SOME OF THE RESURFACING. DEFINITELY MORE THAN SIX MONTHS.
WE SAFE FISCAL YEAR IT COULD BE FROM JULY TO JUNE OF THE NEXT YEAR.
WHEN YOU SAY IT IS 21-22 IT COULD BE JUNE OF 2022 AND STILL BE 21.
OUR FISCAL YEARS DO RUN CONSECUTIVELY LIKE THAT. SIMILARLY HOW WE ARE DOING I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT AT SOME POINT, AT ONE TIME THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT USING THIS IT WAS
ONE OF THE EARLIER PROJECTS. >> THIS IS SOUTH OF THE ROAD. THIS IS SCHEDULED TO START ON OCTOBER 2021 AND IN CONSTRUCTION JANUARY 2022. IT IS A WIDENING OF THE ROAD.
THIS IS NEAR THESE ROADS. >> 'S OF RAMP IS COMING DOWN WE DO HAVE INTERSECTION APPROVALS WHICH WILL BE ADDITIONAL TURN LANES AND A SLIP LANE. BUT WE ARE NOT GOING DOWN WITH
[00:40:04]
ANY OF THE RAMPS JUST IMPROVING THE CONNECTION. >> DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE SHE WANTED TO ADD. I KNOW YOU'RE ON THE TPL, I THOUGHT YOU MAY HAVE SOMETHING.
LADIES, THANK YOU, WE APPRECIATE THAT. WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THE STATE IS SPENDING. I JUST DID SOMETHING OUTSIDE OF THE EXPRESSWAY WHICH IS HUNDREDS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. ALL OF THE ROAD YOU TALKED ABOUT THE PROJECTS WERE OVER $90 MILLION. THAT IS IN ADDITION TO WHAT WE ARE SPENDING LOCALLY THAT PUTS US WELL OVER $200 MILLION IN TERMS OF ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
WITHIN THE NEXT 4-5 YEARS. >> LET'S GO TO THE APPROVAL OF BEATINGS.
[APPROVAL OF MINUTES]
HAVE EMOTIONAL SUBJECTION I HAVE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE MINUTES FROM MAY 25.>> RIVER SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE, ANY OPPOSED COMIC CARRIES 5-0.
[PUBLIC COMMENTS]
AND, WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS. I HAVE FOR CARD SO FAR. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN SPEAKING, GET A CARD TO THE PEOPLE AND THEY WILL BE GLAD TO GET THAT TO BE SO WE CAN CALLING YOU WHEN NEEDED. THE FIRST IS FROM BILL, COME ON DOWN.>> THANK YOU. DO I HAVE TO SAY MY INTEREST IN EVERYTHING.
>> AND DID A FIRE SUBJECT. >> I'M BILL I LIVE AT 2656 COUNTRY CLUB BOULEVARD.
ORANGE PARK, 32,073. AS A CONCERNED CITIZEN I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT I BELIEVE WHICH WILL BE FORTHCOMING TO THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
THIS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT IS NEEDED AND IT'S NOT THE RIGHT PROJECT NOR THE RIGHT PLACE.
THIS PROJECT IS NOT COMPATIBLE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I'M HERE TO DISCUSS THE NEIGHBORHOOD I KNOW FROM SPEAKING WITH RESIDENTS OF ORANGE PARK COUNTRY CLUB, READING UPDATES ON FACEBOOK YOU HAVE RECEIVED LOTS OF E-MAILS REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DEFUNCT GOLF COURSE. I GUESS IT IS DEFUNCT, SOME OF THE RESIDENTS USE THEIR OWN RESOURCES, TIME AND MONEY TO KEEP THE GOLF COURSE COMMUNITY WORKING PRESENTABLE TO THE AVERAGE PASSERBY. TO GIVE YOU SOME HISTORY THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT SUBMITTED A LETTER OF INTENT TO THE BANK ON BEHALF OF THE HOMEOWNERS TO POSSIBLY PURCHASE THE GOLF COURSE BUT ONLY AFTER THEY HAD PROPER AMOUNT OF TIME TO DO THEIR DUE DILIGENCE OR FEASIBILITY STUDY. THE LETTER OF INTENT WAS REJECTED AND WERE TOLD THEY WERE GOING WITH THE HIGHEST BIDDER, A DEVELOPER. AS IT STANDS IT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL HOMES IN EDITION OF ( INDISCERNIBLE ) HOMESITES. THE DEVELOPER WANTED TO ADD MORE SINGLE OR MULTIPLE FAMILIES, THE DEVELOPER WOULD HAVE TO MAKE A REQUEST BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMITTEE AND THEN THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. EMPLOYEE YOU, WHEN THIS HAPPENED YOU DENIED THE REQUEST FOR A CHANGE. HERE ARE SOME REASONS WHY.
YOU SHOULD DENIED THE REQUEST WHEN IT IS MADE. ORANGE PARK COUNTRY CLUB WAS BUILT ON A CLAY FOUNDATION HENCE THE NAME CLAY COUNTY. THERE WILL BE TRUCKLOADS DELIVERING INTO ONE ENTRANCE SINCE ORANGE PARK ONLY HAS ONE ENTRANCE, THEY HAVE OVER 1,000 HOMESITES BETWEEN THESE AREAS THIS COULD BE FATAL TO THE RESIDENTS IF THEY ALL TRY TO EXIT ON BLANDING BOULEVARD, IF THERE WAS A NATURAL DISASTERS. IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SERVICES CLAY COUNTY WOULD NOT BUILD A SECOND ENTRANCE.
[00:45:01]
I DON'T THINK THE REDUCTION OF PROPERTY INCOME TAX WILL BE MADE UP IN A MOBILITY FEE ORDINANCE.THE ELECTRIC GRID WOULD HAVE TO BE UPDATED. I AM NOT AND SITE DEVELOPMENT I WANTED THANK YOU FOR LISTENING I ASKED THAT YOU DENIED THE REQUEST.
>> MR. HART COME DOWN. >> ANTONIO HART. ORANGE PARK FLORIDA.
1ST AND FOREMOST, THANK YOU I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE SPORTS I AM HERE TO ADVOCATE FOR MY ORGANIZATION WE HAVE CHOICE TO BE BETTER OR REMAIN STAGNANT. WE HAD MONEY FOR RENTAL COST ALONE IN ADDITION TO STORAGE OF EQUIPMENT. THIS IS NOT INCLUDE UNIFORMS WILLING TO RUN A CONCESSION BOOK TO A YOUTH ORGANIZATION. MOST SCHOOLS WILL ONLY ALLOW US TO OPERATE GATE. THIS DOES NOT COME CLOSE TO RUNNING THE FACILITIES PER GAME.
THESE DOLLARS ARE NOT FOR US BUT FOR THOSE WE PROMISED WE WOULD HELP TO LEARN TO TEAR AND PLAY SPORTS. THE COST TO UPDATE THE FACILITY DOES NOT COMPARE TO WHAT WE HAVE LOST IN REVENUE. IT IS VERY COMMON FOR ORGANIZATIONS TO AUGMENT WITH PARENTS ON THE FIELD AND WORK CONCESSIONS. OUR OPENING COMMITTEE WAS DESIGNED FOR MULTIPURPOSE FIELD. WE ONLY HAVE ONE. ALTHOUGH THE BASEBALL COMPLEX AS FOR TO INCLUDE LIGHTS, THIS IS 12 FORM -- A 21 MINUTE DRIVE. WE DID NOT MAKE MORE SENSE TO INVEST IN A COMMUNITY THAT HAS RESOURCES. AGAIN, THESE PROPERTIES ARE PLEASE. THEY SHOULD NOT BE RANKED LIKE MANY EMPIRES BUY A FEW GUYS.
I'M NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT THEM BUT WE WANT TO MAKE IT INCLUSIVE TO ALL.
WERE WILLING TO PAY OUR FAIR SHARE BUT IT IT SHOULD NOT BE THOSE CONTROLLING THE DECISIONS
OF WHO PLACE WHERE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> THANK YOU, SIR.
>> MY NAME IS SHANNON LEWIS. I AM FROM MIDDLEBURG PHOTO. COMING TO YOU, LET ME SAY COMMISSIONER THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING TO ME. AS A PLAYER, WE HAVE HAD TO TRAVEL AS HE SAID TO TRAVEL JUST FOR PARK IS. ACTUALLY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE A TEAM MOM THIS PAST YEAR. THEY SAY WHY I THINK THAT IS THE SAME THING THAT MR. HART IS
[00:50:07]
INCHING TO. THERE'S ENOUGH ROOM FOR BOTH PARTS.I JUST WANT TO KNOW, CAN WE FIGURE OUT A WAY TO WORK TGETHER.
WE DO HAVE PLANS WHERE THERE SHOULD BE ANOTHER FIELD AND THERE'S NOT ANOTHER FIELD.
BOTH ORGANIZATIONS SHOULD COME TOGETHER SO EVERYONE CAN HAVE THE SAME BEING THAT IS GIVEN TO EACH OTHER. THAT IS ONE OF THE REASON I WANT TO BE HERE.
I WANTED TO BRING THAT TO YOUR ATTENTION WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO TAKE OUR BOYS TO ANOTHER AREA.
NEXT LINE SOMEWHERE WOULD WANT MY SON. >> THANK YOU PRICK.
>> LAST CARD WE HAVE IS FROM STEPHEN LEWIS. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.
STEPHEN LEWIS. MIDDLEBURG FLORIDA. I JUST WANT TO ECHO THE COMMENTS IF WE HAVE HOME GAMES THAT ARE NOT TRULY HOME GAMES, THAT EXPERIENCE DETERIORATES FOR THE KIDS. I WAS JUST AT THAT PIECE TO WHAT THEY SAID.
THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU EXCERPT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT TAKES.
MY PREDECESSOR WHEN HE LEFT OFFICE, HE SUGGESTED IT WOULD TAKE $750,000 TO FULLY BUILD OUT THE OTHER THREE FIELDS ON THE PARKING LOT. WE DIDN'T WANT TO DO BECAUSE THE DRAINAGE WAS DOUBLE WHAT WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SO WE CAN ONLY DO THE FIRST PLEASE I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THE PLANS WITH THE ESTIMATES FOR MONTHS. WE CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THEM.
EYE CONTACT THE GUYS WHO DEVELOPED IT SO WE CAN WE WANT TO LOOK AT EXPANDING.
WE HAVE MORE NEED THEM FACILITY. THAT IS ONE OF THE ISSUES. I KNOW THE PARKS DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN TRYING TO BALANCE WE ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WE ARE WORKING ON IT.
>> THANK YOU. YOU HAVE A MOTION. >> I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
[CONSENT AGENDA]
ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED. IT CARRIES 5-0.[7. Progress Report on the Bonded Transportation Program (Eric Lanning)]
THIS WAS ALTHOUGH IT WAS A CONTRACT SENT TO HENDERSON COLUMBIA NSF A FEW MINUTES AGO WHEN I TALKED TO MS. KELLY, WE ARE VERY CLOSE WITH THE FINANCE AND AUDIT.FEAR WORKING WITH JACOBS AND IT SHOULD BE FINALIZED AS WELL. >> WE DID HAVE FOUR CONTRACTORS SUBMIT AND THOSE WERE OPEN ON JUNE 1. IT IS OUR PUBLIC RECORD.
BUT SUPERIOR, MIDDLESEX, THESE AREAS, THOSE ARE IN REVIEW RIGHT NOW WITH THE INTENT TO GO INTO
[00:55:07]
FINANCE ABOUT IT THE FIRST WEEK OF JULY. WE ARE WORKING THROUGH THE INITIAL PLANS ON THAT. THE CONVERSATIONS MAY HAVE EXPIRATION SO.>> WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON AGREEMENTS AND YOU WILL SEE NEXT YEAR, A COUPLE OF THE AGREEMENTS WERE EPIC CONCERN OF OURS,. WE DO THAT IN HOUSE. THAT IS ALL WE HAVE PICKED.
>> ANY QUESTIONS? >> I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT YOUR HEIGHT MADE ME THINK WE MAY HAVE TO REENGINEER. YOU HAD NO HEAD THERE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK WE ARE
DOING GREAT THINGS AND LOOKING. >> THANK YOU. COVID UPDATE.
[8. COVID Update]
>> YOU LOOK A LITTLE RESTED. >> RESTED AND A LITTLE TANNED. THANK YOU JOHN FOR HOLDING THE FORT DOWN. WE ARE I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW I AM BACK TO CLAY COUNTY ONE 100%.
FIVE AND HALF MONTHS WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME. I AM BACK ONE 100% TO CLAY AND I'M THANKFUL TO BE BACK HOME. WHAT THAT MEANS IS THEY WILL MONITOR BIKE THE TIME CAN BE MONITORED. WHERE UNDER STATE OF EMERGENCY THAT WILL EXPIRE BY THE END OF JUNE UNLESS SOMETHING DRASTIC HAPPENS IT WILL PROBABLY EXPIRE. A LITTLE BIT ABOUT VACCINATION RATES. I SENT YOU AN E-MAIL THEY ARE GOING FROM WEEKLY REPORTS.
IF YOU GO TO THE WEBSITE, THE WEEKLY REPORT IS VERY GENERIC NO COUNTY LEVEL DATA.
WHAT I DID, I WANTED TO GIVE YOU THE VACCINATION RATES. THEY HAVE REMAINED, 10-20 IN PER DAY NOTHING DRASTIC AND NO CHANGES THERE. VACCINATION RATES, I HAVE THOSE WE ARE AT 39% THAT IS 12 AND OLDER, YOUNGER GROUPS ARE LESS VACCINATED.
AGE BRACKET 65-OLDER AND 64%. WE DO STILL HAVE SOME WORK TO DO.
, WITH THAT, WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE, WE ARE WORKING THROUGH JOHN'S SHOP DOING THE VACCINATIONS AT THE TOP OF SITES WE DO HAVE THEM AT AT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT WE DO PREFER APPOINTMENTS BUT WE WILL TAKE WALKINS WE ARE GIVING OUT GROCERY STORE VOUCHERS AND YOU CAN ALSO SCHEDULE YOUR SECOND APPOINTMENT. WE HAVE HIRED SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING OUT DOING ROTATIONS TO MAN THE TEAMS. WE HAVE BEEN SCHEDULING THOSE IN GETTING THOSE OUT THERE. THE TWO QUESTIONS HOW MANY DO YOU WANT ME TOO COME TO BOARD MEETINGS TO PREVENT EXTRACT PRESENT THE INFORMATION WHAT INFORMATION HE FOR ME.
WE SPOKE BEFORE THE MEETING AND HE SAID MAY BE MONTHLY FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS UNTIL SCHOOL STARTS TO GET US THROUGH THAT. THE OTHER LAST THINK ABOUT THE SCHOOL, BEFORE I MAKE A DECISION. WE HAVE RECEIVED CARES ACTIVE
[01:00:01]
MONEY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT VERSION WE ARE ON FOR SCHOOL REOPENING SPIRIT WE WILL RECEIVE 7.3 MILLION DOLLARS. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT LOOKING AT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE FOR WE WILL BE HIRING A TEAM THAT WILL WORK WITH THE SCHOOLS NEXT YEAR TO DO THEIR OWN CONTRACT TRACING. AND THEY WILL BE ABLE TO DO TESTING FOR THE STUDENTS NOTVACCINATED THAT NEED TO GET OUT OF POINTING EARLY. >> VERY GOOD.
THE FIRST THING WE HAVE TO DECIDE, AND LIKE THE COMMISSIONER SUGGESTED, MAYBE WE CAN HAVE HEATHER COME IN. THEN WE CAN'T MAKE A DETERMINATION.
IF SHE SEES SOMETHING WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT CAN BE IN THE NEXT FEEDING.
>> ... GOVERNOR SAID WE WOULD NOT GIVE INCENTIVES FOR IMMUNIZATIONS.
THIS IS THE SAME THING WE DID DURING THE HEPATITIS A OUTBREAK. THE STATE HAD A LARGE UPTAKE.
IS THIS FUNDED OUT OF THE CARES ACT. THE BUREAU FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH GAVE THEM TO US. I WOULD ASSUME THEY PROBABLY CAME FROM CARES ACT.
MAYBE THERE'S ANOTHER VERSION THAT IS OUT THERE NOW. >> I HAVE A SECOND QUESTION.
>> YOU CAN E-MAIL ME AT ANY TIME. TENNANT THIS MORNING, ON ONE OF THE MORNING SHOWS THEY TALKED ABOUT AN UPTICK AND OTHER INFECTIONS.
THEY SAID WE WOULD SEE MORE CASES OF THE COMMON COLD, FLU, ARE YOU SEEING THAT OR DID YOU
HEAR OF THAT? >> I'VE MET WITH MY DISEASE CONTROL MANAGER.
HE HAS MOVED ON AS THE HEALTH DIRECTOR. YOU MAY HAVE SEEN HER SHE IS THE DISEASE CONTROL MANAGER. I MET WITH HER TO SEE IF SHE HAS SEEN ANYTHING UNUSUAL FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. FLU SEASON IS TYPICALLY IN A DIFFERENT TIMEFRAME WE ARE OUT OF THE FLU SEASON WE HAD ALMOST 0 BLUE SEASON. WE HAVE NOT SEEN AN UPTICK IN ANYTHING STRANGE. USUALLY THINGS THAT ARE ABNORMAL, THEY WILL PUT ME ON NOTICE PERIOD THIS TIME OF THE YEAR WE JUSSEE FOODBORNE ILLNESS OUTBREAKS WHICH IS TYPICAL FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, PEOPLE AT FOOD SIT OUT TOO LONG AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
>> I THINK YOU JUST STATED WE WOULD DO TRACE TRACKING, MY READING SAYS, THAT IS NOT
POSSIBLE. IT IS VERY HARD TO DO THAT. >> WE HAVE BEEN DOING CONTACT TRACING. WE HAD NOT BEEN PHYSICALLY IN THE SCHOOL WE WERE FORTUNATE THE CHIEF OF STAFF TERRY DENNIS WAS OUR CONDUIT. WE WILL TAKE THE STAFF THAT HAS BEEN WORKING INSIDE WHERE WE HAD THAT SEPARATED AND THEY WILL BE PHYSICALLY LOCATED IN THE SCHOOLS WHERE THEY CAN DO CONTACT TRACING. ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS WE DO KNOW WE WANT TO LOOK AT HOW WE VACCINATE THE CHILDREN ON A MASS SCALE.
WE ARE AND SOME ARE NOW SO THE KIDS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH SUMMER CAMP.
WE DO KNOW WHEN WE DO THEY GO BACK, THAT WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN APPROVAL THROUGH THE EIGHTH DA -- FDA THAT THEY CAN BE GIVEN THE SAME. BEFORE YOU COULD NOT GET IT BEFORE OR AFTER THE COVID WITHOUT THE PORT THE -- 14 DAY WINDOW.
NOW YOU CAN GET IT IF YOU FALL INTO THE OVER 12 CATEGORY. >> WITH A PARENTS CONSENT.
>> THE PARENT WILL BE PRESENT. WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR LEGAL ADVICE ON DOING THAT.
[01:05:03]
AS WE DO THE FLU AND THE SCHOOL YEAR. THAT WOULD BE WITH PARENTALCONSENT. >> DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ON THE DEATH RATES.
I WOULD IMAGINE THEY ARE AT 0 NOW, IS THAT TRUE? >> I HAVE NOT LOOKED AT THAT SO LET ME GET BACK AND SEE THAT. WE ARE NOT SEEING MANY CASES AND I LOOK AT THE CASES EVERY DAY.
THEY ARE 50-YOUNGER. IT'S NOT THAT WE ARE NOT GETTING ANY BUT IT IS LESS LIKELY THEY ARE IN THE ELDERLY. I HAVE NOT SEEN THE DEATH LIKE WE HAVE SEEN BEFORE.
>> AS FAR AS THE PEOPLE GETTING COVID THAT HAVE BEEN VACCINATED, HOW IS THAT NUMBER, IT IS STILL LOWER THAN 20. THEY ARE FULLY VACCINATED PAST 14 DAYS, IF THEY ARE GETTING THE TWO DOSE SERIES. AGAIN, MOST OF THOSE CASES THAT WE HAVE HAD HAVE BEEN IN THE OLDER BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN FAR ENOUGH TO BE A BREAKTHROUGH CASE.
IF I GET COVID TODAY AND I WAS ONLY VACCINATED WITH 1,000 THAT WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A BREAKTHROUGH CASE. IF I AM LESS THAN 14 DAYS SINCE THE CASE I WAS NOT FULLY
IMMUNIZED. >> BY AND LARGE, IF YOU HAVE BEEN VACCINATED YOU PROBABLY ARE
OKAY. >> REMEMBERED THAT VACCINATION RATES ARE 95% FOR PFIZER AND JOHNSON & JOHNSON IS ABOUT 68-70%. THERE'S NOT NOT ONE THAT IS ONE 100%. THERE IS A CHANCE YOU CAN GET IT BUT WE ARE TRYING TO CREATE HERD IMMUNITY WHERE EVERYONE HAS 95% PROTECTION RATES SO WE ARE LESS LIKELY TO HAVE IT AND GIVE IT TO
OTHER PEOPLE. >> JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, WE SPEAK OF FEWER THAN 20 CASES PER DAY. WE ARE TALKING FLORIDA STATEWIDE NO.
>> CLAY COUNTY. SO, WE WERE IN OUR PEAK UP TO 200 PER DAY IN JANUARY, THOSE CASES PER DAY. WE ARE SEEING 26-22, 12, OVER THE TWO WEEK.
WE HAD ABOUT 200 TOTAL CASES OVER A TWO-WEEK PERIOD. >> IS STILL SOME NON- VACCINATED
INDIVIDUALS OUT THERE. >> THANK YOU, WE WILL SEE YOU NEXT MONTH.
>> NOW THE EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH. AND THE STOCK IS DOING VERY WELL. JUST TO CONTINUE ON WITH WHAT SHE IS SAYING, WE ARE CONTINUING OUR PARTNERSHIP. WE HAVE INCREASED OUR ONLINE PRESENCE.
OF WAITING FOR SAM TO JUMP UP AND DOWN. REALLY UTILIZING THE NEXT-DOOR APP. WE HAVE PARTNERED AND THEY ARE DOING AN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN.
I DID SEND THAT BRIEF OUT TO YOU. IT WAS EITHER SUNDAY EITHER SUNDAY OR MONDAY. WE ARE STILL GETTING LOW NUMBERS.
THEY ARE SENDING STAFF AS THEY HAVE LOWER ATTENDED AREAS. THEY ARE GETTING STAFF TO HIT STORES AND HAVE THE FLYERS OUT. TODAY WE ARE AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF MOORPARK TOMORROW WE ARE AT OMEGA PARK THAT IS WHERE WE HAVE OUR LARGEST GROUP. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT THAT IS WHERE WE GET THE MOST OF THE GROUP. AFTER THAT, WE ARE AT THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF MIDDLEBURG THEN THE FOOD PANTRY. RATHER THAN DO THE TWO WEEK ADVERTISEMENT WE ARE SEEKING IT DOWN TO REMIND PEOPLE, AND SOCIAL MEDIA IS PUSHING THAT ON ON THE DELETE -- DAILY BASIS. I DO WANT TO ADD ONE THING. I AM GLAD SHE MENTIONED THAT, YOU HEARD HER STATE THAT POTENTIALLY BY THE END OF JUNE THE STATE WILL BE RESCINDING THEIR EXECUTIVE ORDER OR STATE OF EMERGENCY. AT THIS TIME WE DISCUSSED IT, AS LONG AS FEMALE, OUR FEDERAL PARTNERS HAVE A DECLARATION WE STILL HAVE INCREASED COSTS.
WHETHER IT IS FIRE AND RESCUE, ANYTHING ALONG THOSE LINES WHERE WE HAVE CONTINUED OURS, EVEN IF THE STATE RESCINDS THERE IS WE ARE AT A MAJOR SO WE WON'T HAVE IT COMING THROUGH THE STATE AT THIS TIME. AS LONG AS THE FED TO KEEP THAT MAJOR DISASTER DECLARATION IN PALEY'S WE WILL KEEP OUR SPIRIT PENDING ANY QUESTIONS THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR JOHN? >> THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE IT. >> DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA
[01:10:06]
WHEN THE -- WHAT THE VACCINATION MAY COST, WHEN WE HAVE TO GO TO A PRIVATE POSITION, THERE ARESOME INPUT THAT PEOPLE MAY WANT TO THINK ABOUT. >> I DON'T KNOW AND ACTUAL COST.
THE MANUFACTURERS ARE NOT SELLING THEM TO US BUT TYPICALLY IT IS THE COST PLUS A 10-DOLLAR ADMINISTRATION FEE THAT THE DOCTORS WITH BILL. SO THE COST IS $37 AND SOME CHANGE, THAT GETS BILLED ALONG WITH THE ADMINISTRATION FEES TO COVER THE COST.
>> SO YOU ARE LOOKING AT, AT LEAST 50 BUCKS. >> NO ONE KNOWS THAT BECAUSE NO ONE IS ACTUALLY BUYING IT RIGHT NOW. THE MESSAGE RIGHT NOW IS, IT IS FREE AND AT NO COST. NO CHARGE. WE ARE NOT BILLING INSURANCES.
PLEASE, THIS IS THE TIME TO GET VACCINATED. >> VERY GOOD.
WE ARE AT 5:00 P.M. SO LET'S GO TO OUR TIME CERTAIN SPIRIT THIS IS THE COMMUNITY DEVELOP AND
[17. 5:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as can be heard - CDBG Plan and Public Hearing - Susan Grich, Health Planning Council of Northeast Florida]
PLAN. >> HELLO. HOW ARE Y'ALL DOING TODAY.
>> GOOD. >> I AM HERE TO INTRODUCE SUSAN. SHE IS OUR LEAD CONSULTANT FOR THE GRANT PROCESS. SHE ALSO HAVE ANGELA WHO IS AN URBAN COMMUNITY PLANNER.
THEY HAVE AN UPDATE, I THINK SHE CONTROLS THE KEYS BUT THEY DO HAVE AN UPDATE FOR YOU.
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, WE ARE HERE TO ANSWER THEM. >> I MUST SAY, WE MISS AD.
PLEASE TELL ED WE ARE THINKING ABOUT HIM. HE'S USUALLY RIGHT HERE.
>> YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. I HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE. WE JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE PROCESS OF GETTING GRANT FUNDS INTO CLAY COUNTY. WE ARE ALMOST THERE.
THIS MEETING TODAY, IT IS THE KICKOFF TO THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.
WE WILL SHOW YOU A PRESENTATION OF WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE HAVE COME FROM.
AS CHARISSE MENTIONED, I AM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO. WE ARE PLANNING AND ASSESSMENT AGENCY THAT COVERS THE AREAS IN NORTHEAST FLORIDA. WE ALSO HAVE JIM FROM COMMUNITY INVESTMENT HE'S IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANT. HE IS AN ENTITLEMENT SPECIALIST HELPING 15 CITIES. ENTITLED TO THE FUNDS. THAT IS OVER 30 HOUSING ASSESSMENTS. FINALLY WDI, YOU ARE ALREADY FAMILIAR.
THIS IS ANGELA. SHE IS HERE AS MY BACKUP IN CASE YOU ASKED ME SOME TOUGH
QUESTIONS AND I DON'T HAVE THE DETAILS. >> I'M SORRY, WE SHOULD HAVE SPELLED THIS OUT. THIS IS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK FUNDING.
IT IS FUNDING FROM HUD. THANK YOU. >> THERE IT IS.
>> I APOLOGIZE. SO ANYWAY, THE FUNDING IS AVAILABLE TO CITIES, STATES AND COUNTIES. THEY HAVE BEEN RETAINED TO HELP GETTING THE FUNDING INTO CLAY COUNTY. JUST AN EXAMPLE OF HOW IT CAN BE USED, IT IS TARGETED FROM LOW TO MODERATE INCOME SPIRIT THAT FUNDING CAN BE USED IN A NUMBER OF METHODS TO HELP THE CITIZENS.
SOME ARE THROUGH EXPANDING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES. A LOT OF IT IS BASED ON HOUSING, AFFORDABLE HOUSING. WE HAVE SEEN OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, CLAY COUNTY HAS INCREASED IN POPULATION. INCOME HAS INCREASED A LITTLE BIT.
THE COST OF PURCHASING HOUSING AT RENTING AND PURCHASING HAS GONE THROUGH THE ROOF.
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THE FUNDS CAN BE USED TO
[01:15:04]
REVITALIZE EXISTING STRUCTURES OR TO GIVE PEOPLE ASSISTANCE WITH DOWN PAYMENT.IT ALIGNS WITH YOUR PLANS. I THINK I COVERED THAT. PROVIDING HOUSING THAT IS CLOSE TO TRANSPORTATION, ACCESS TO SERVICES, ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOODS.
WE REALLY WANT TO HELP CLAY COUNTY GET THE FUNDS. CLAY COUNTY AND ITS CITIZENS
CAN'T DETERMINE HOW BEST TO USE THE FUNDS. >> THERE ARE A NUMBER OF REPORTS REQUIRED BY HUD IN ORDER TO BECOME ELIGIBLE. THE FIRST IS THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN. IT IS A FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN.
THAT PLAN HAS ALREADY BEEN CREATED AND ON YOUR WEBSITE RIGHT NOW.
WE WILL CIRCLE BACK TO THAT BECAUSE WE WANT TO GIVE THE PUBLIC 30 DAYS TO COMMENT.
IT IS A PLAYBOOK OR A PLAN OF ACTION. IT CAME OUT OF A HOUSING ASSESSMENT. IT IS TO COORDINATE RESOURCES AND LEVERAGE RESOURCES TO MAKE A COLLECTIVE IMPACT. NEXT LINE. SO, WHO QUALIFIES FOR THE FUNDS.
ONE YEAR AGO OR LONGER, THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS WERE THE ENTITIES THAT WERE NOT SET UP TO QUALIFY. THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS ARE GREEN COVE SPRINGS, ORANGE PARK AND PENNY FARMS. I BELIEVE, I THINK AND SENT AN INVITATION TO SEE IF THEY WANTED TO BE IN THE PROGRAM AND THEY DECLINED BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE PRECLUDED THEM FROM ACCESSING OTHER FUNDING. IT IS NOT LIKE WE DID NOT OFFER. THE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN IS ANOTHER ASPECT OF BECOMING ELIGIBLE. WE WITH COVID AND TO HAVE VIRTUAL MEETINGS. SHOCKING ENOUGH, WITH THESE ONLINE PLATFORMS LIKE ZOOM, WE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL WITH PARTICIPATION AND INPUT. WE HAVE HAD STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS, PUBLIC MEETINGS. WE PROVIDED A SURVEY. WE REALLY WANTED TO HEAR FROM THE COMMUNITY ABOUT WHAT THEIR OPINIONS ARE AND THE NEEDS OF THE AREA, THAT INFORMATION CAN BE COUPLED WITH DEMOGRAPHICS TO ACTUALLY HELP YOU ALL MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION ON HOW THE
FUNDS SHOULD BE SENT. >> THE NEXT IS THE DRAFT PLAN. IT IS ON THE WEBSITE.
THERE IS A 30 DAY COMMENT PERIOD. AT THE IN OF THE WEBSITE WE WILL GIVE THE LINK. THE PUBLIC CAN COMMENT DIRECTLY VIA E-MAIL OR THEY HAVE A PHONE NUMBER THEY CAN ACCESS. THIS IS IN THE NEWSPAPERS. REALLY TRYING TO GET THE PUBLIC TO COMMENT ON THAT. STRATEGIC PLAN PRIORITIES, JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE PRIORITIES SO FAR. AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT, THE OUTCOME WOULD BE, THE DESIRED OUTCOME WOULD BE REHABILITATING 48 HOUSING UNITS. INFRASTRUCTURE, INFRASTRUCTURE ACTIVITIES TO SERVE 2,000 PEOPLE. LET'S SAY SIDEWALKS OR THE CURBS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT SERVING 2,000 PEOPLE. OF COURSE CODE ENFORCEMENT, IT IS THE EXPECTED OUTCOME TO INSPECT 150 HOMES. OKAY, ANOTHER PART OF THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN IS THAT, THE FUNDING HAS TO BE APPLIED FOR EVERY YEAR.
THOSE AMOUNTS ARE DETERMINED BY CONGRESS. FOR THE FUNDING WE ARE TRYING TO HELP CLAY COUNTY GET IT, IS JUST OVER $1 MILLION. THAT IS FOR OCTOBER THROUGH
[01:20:02]
SEPTEMBER WHICH IS YOUR FISCAL YEAR. THE ALLOCATIONS AS THEY SIT RIGHT NOW, R355004 HOUSING REHAB. 213,000 FOR THE ADMINISTRATION THAT SURROUNDS THE OTHER AREAS. 300,000 TO PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE AND 300,000 TO CODE ENFORCEMENT.THE DRAFT PLAN IS AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION TODAY. THE COMMENT PERIOD IS 30 DAYS FROM TOMORROW. THEN WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER MEETING AND GIVE YOU THE OUTPUT OF THE PUBLIC COMMENTS WITH POTENTIAL ADOPTION BY THE COUNTY, JULY 27.
WE WILL BE SUBMITTING THAT TO HUD. VIA THEY HAVE SYSTEM IN AUGUST AND THE FUNDING SHOULD BE AVAILABLE THIS OCTOBER. WE ARE ON THE HOME STRETCH.
SO, THAT GIVES THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION. THE E-MAIL ADDRESS IS COMMUNITY GRANT. BELOW THAT IS THE WEBSITE. WHEN YOU GO TO THE WEBSITE, YOU GO TO CLAY COUNTY GUV.COM AND YOU GO INTO BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND YOU CAN FIND IT QUICKLY. OBVIOUSLY, THAT IS YOUR ADDRESS HERE.
THAT IS THE CONTACT INFORMATION FROM TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO, PUSH THIS OUT AS WELL. IF YOU ARE TALKING TO PEOPLE I WANT TO HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC.
I DIDN'T WANT TO TELL YOU WHICH REPORTS ARE SITTING OUT THERE. IT IS THE DRAFT CONSOLIDATED PLAN. FIVE YEARS. THE 2021-2022 ACTION PLAN TALKING ABOUT WHAT WOULD BE DONE IN THE NEXT YEAR. THE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN, THE RESIDENTIAL REPLACEMENT REPORT AND THE ANALYSIS TO FAIR HOUSING.
THOSE ARE VERY INTERESTING DOCUMENTS AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A LOOK.
IS THERE ANOTHER SLIDE. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING US HERE. IF I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER I CAN
REACH OUT TO FIND IT. >> I DO HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. THE MONEY, IS THAT DETERMINED BY
A FORMULA AS HOW MUCH YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR. >> LET ME THINK FOR A SECOND PERIOD I THINK THAT FORMULA IS BASED ON POPULATION. DOES THAT SOUND RIGHT?
THANK YOU. >> DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? >> I PROBABLY SHOULD MEET WITH YOU. THE MAJORITY OF THIS MONEY WILL PROBABLY BE USED IN A LOT OF MY DISTRICTS. I AM IN DISTRICT FOR. I WILL LOWER -- A LOT OF LOWER INCOME AREAS. YOU SAID, THIS WILL MIRROR THOSE SHIP PROGRAM BUT WE HAVE NOT WRITTEN A STRATEGY THAT INVOLVES IMPROVING MOBILE HOMES BUT DISTRICT FOUR HAS OF YOU AND THE REPORT SAID WE DO HAVE A QUARTER OF THE COUNTY THAT HAVE MOBILE HOMES.
CAN THE MONEY BE USED FOR MOBILE HOME IMPROVEMENT. YOU KNOW THERE'S A PART OF ME THAT, I RECALL READING SOMETHING THAT IT WASN'T. THAT IS SOMETHING I HAVE TO FACT CHECK. THEN I HAVE A PROJECT THAT COULD CLOSELY ALIGN.
WE HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT NEEDS CITY WATER. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT CAN BE AN OPPORTUNITY. THEY HAVE ALMOST 2,000 PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE SUBDIVISION AND IT COST ABOUT THE SAME TO PUT IN THE WELL. I THINK THAT MAY BE AN OPPORTUNITY SO I WANTED TO THROW THAT OUT. LET'S NOT WALK AWAY FROM THE
PROJECT. >> IF YOU WOULD NOT MIND, CAN YOU GO IN AND COMMENT AND GET THAT DOCUMENTED. OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE A STAKEHOLDER, YOU KNOW THE NEED IS THERE THAT IS VALUABLE. WE ARE COMPLETELY NEUTRAL, I WOULD NOT WANT IT TO COME FROM
[01:25:10]
THE HEALTH PLANNING COUNCIL. WE ARE HERE TO PROVIDE THE FORUM.I WILL ALSO PUT IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. THE IRONY IS, WE DON'T HAVE GREAT INTERNET ACCESS SO YOU WOULD NOT OF THAT PARTICIPATION FROM PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE ACCESS. BUT THEY DO HAVE PHONES AND SOCIAL MEDIA.
I WILL PUSH IT OUT. WE WILL GET THAT OUT THERE TO GIVE PUBLIC COMMENT.
AND THE FUNDS CAN BE USED FOR BROADBAND ACCESS. I KNOW THAT'S GREAT AS WELL.
>> THANK YOU. >> COMMISSIONER. >> IS THERE ANY PROVISION TO PUT A RESIDENT REQUIREMENT, ONE THING THAT CONCERNS ME, WITH LOW INCOME HOUSING, I CAME FROM ANOTHER PLACE, YOU CAN GET LOW INCOME HOUSING IN CHICAGO OR IN ORANGE PARK FLORIDA.
IF WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE MOVING INTO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF JUST THAT, THAT WOULD NOT BE A POSITIVE OUTCOME FOR ME. I CERTAINLY WANT TO HELP THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE NOW.
IF ANYONE NEEDS MONEY BUT I DON'T WANT TO CREATE A SITUATION WHERE WE ARE ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO MOVE HERE WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO LIVE ANYWHERE ELSE I COME HERE.
>> I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND. THAT MAY BE ADDRESSED IN THE MARKET ANALYSIS OR THE HOUSING ASSESSMENT. BUT AGAIN, THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING, AS THE BOARD YOU WOULD WANT TO MANAGE AND IF THERE WERE NO RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT, THIS PRECLUDES US
FROM PUTTING A REQUIREMENT ON THIS. >> THERE IS A RESIDENT
REQUIREMENT AND HOW LONG IS THE RESIDENCY. >> I WANT TO FIND OUT.
>> I WOULD NOT MIND EXPLORING THAT. >> ANYONE ELSE COLLECTS.
>> JUST TO CLARIFY ONE ITEM. THE COUNTY ASKED FOR PARTICIPATION AND THEY ALL DENIED IT. THE REASON THEY DENIED PARTICIPATION IS ACCEPTANCE PRECLUDED THOSE MUNICIPALITIES FROM SUBMITTING ANY GRANT IN THE FUTURE.
CDBG, IS A CATEGORY OF GRANTS FROM THAT COVERS MITIGATION, ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, VOLUNTARY HOME BUYOUTS, ENTITLEMENT. I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MANY FLAVORS THERE ARE. BUT IT WOULD'VE PRECLUDED THEM FROM APPLYING FROM ANY OF THE GRANTS. THAT IS WHY NONE OF THEM SAID THEY WOULD PARTICIPATE.
T, LITTLE CONFUSED. FOR ONE THING, WITH THE COMMISSIONER.
YOUR PARTICIPATION PLAN, THE DRAFT PLAN IS WHAT I AM READING. >> HOW DO WE ONLY HAVE VIRTUAL
MEETINGS. >> FROM COVID IT WAS A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE.
THEN I GET INTO THE DRIVE. IS THIS A DRAFT OR A PLAN? DID WE HAVE PUBLIC INPUT.
THAT IS WHERE I AM CONFUSED. IS THIS AN OPERATIONAL PLAN, HOW DO WE HAVE MEETINGS IDENTIFIED
IN THE PLAN? >> THIS WAS PROVIDED AS A DRAFT. AT THE TIME WE WERE IN THE THROES OF COVID AND WE DID OUR MEETINGS VIRTUALLY. THEY WERE CONDUCTED EARLIER THIS YEAR. I THINK THAT IS A VALID WAS VALID.
[01:30:09]
>> THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE OPTIONS. THE OTHER THING, THE ENTITLEMENT IS KEY TO WORDS THESE AREAS IN CLAY COUNTY. DO WE HAVE ANY DO WE HAVE ANY
AREAS IN CLAY COUNTY. >> WE ARE NOT SURE. >> THE LAST QUESTION I HAVE DEALS WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE COUNTY. TWO COMMISSIONERS BROUGHT UP SOME VERY IMPORTANT THINGS THAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE NEXT FIVE
YEARS. >> THE PLAN, I THINK WE REPRESENT THE COUNTY AND WE HAVE
TO BE PART OF THE. I WANT TO BE PART OF IT. >> I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION
THAT YOU ARE. >> THE PERSON YOU NEED TO SPEAK TO IS NOT HERE AND I APOLOGIZE
FOR THAT. >> I AM NOT HAPPY WITH WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.
>> IF I CAN JUMP IN, I THINK THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY. THEY INDICATED THEY ARE LOOKING FOR PUBLIC INPUT. AND THEY CAN COME UP WITH THE DRAFT PLAN AND ADOPT IT FOR LATER. JUST AS THEY HAVE ASKED HIM TO PUT STAKEHOLDER INFORMATION IN, IT BEHOOVES ALL OF US TO DO THE SAME THING. IF YOU HAVE SOME COORDINATION, WE SHOULD IMPLEMENT IT AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME. WHETHER OR NOT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COLLECTED AND DONE EARLIER, PERHAPS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY WITH THE HELP SITUATION I THINK, IT GOT OFF TRACK. THIS IS OUR OPPORTUNITY TO PUT IT BACK AND TO TAKE SOME OF YOUR CONSIDERATIONS AND I THINK WE'LL HAVE SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO ADD OR CLARIFY, SO THE PLANT
CAN'T BE THE BEST IT CAN BE THE FIRST TIME OUT. >> IF ASKED, I WILL PROVIDE.
>> I CAN ONLY ASK YOU TO REVIEW THE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PLAN. I HAVEN'T SEEN THE MINUTES.
I HAVEN'T SEEN A SINGLE THING ON THIS GRANT. >> THIS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN
THE PACKAGE. >> HAVE WE BEEN PRESENTED WITH THE MINUTES?
I HAVE NOT SEEN THEM. >> THEY ARE ALL RIGHT HERE. >> THAT IS THE PLAN.
IT IS THE DRAFT PLAN. >> ALL OF THAT SHOULD BE IN THE DOCUMENTATION.
IF IT'S NOT WE WILL FIGURE IT OUT. WILL WE PLAN TO TO FROM HERE AND
WITHIN THE 30 DAYS IS GET THE INFORMATION FROM YOU GUYS. >> I HEARD TWO GOOD
RECOMMENDATIONS. >> OUR INTENT IS TO GET THAT FROM YOU.
>> I'M LOOKING AT FEBRUARY 18 RIGHT HERE. >> OKAY, WE KNOW WHERE WE HAVE TO GO AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO AND WE WILL GET IT DONE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
>> GO AHEAD. >> CAN YOU TELL ME, I'LL IS THIS DIFFERENT.
IS THIS ADDITIONAL MONEY THE COUNTY IS GETTING FOR THE SAME PURPOSES?
[01:35:01]
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? >> IT IS THE THOUGHT PROCESS OR THE FOCUS.
GO AHEAD. THAT IS THE RIGHT WAY TO SAY IT. IT IS LIKE THE FUNDING BUT A DIFFERENT POCKET OF MONDAY. THAT IS JUST FOR THE HOUSING. YOU DID TALK ABOUT DOWN PAYMENT
ASSISTANCE. IS IT PART OF THIS? >> I THINK YOU DID SAY THAT.
BUT IT'S NOT. IN THE FUND ELIGIBILITY, THERE IS ASSISTANCE.
>> IN THE ELIGIBILITY THERE IS ASSISTANCE FOR FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS WHICH I ASSUME IS DOWN PAYMENT. THERE WERE CATEGORIES, HOW DOES THAT FIT IN.
IN THE PLANNING AND INFRASTRUCTURE, HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN.
>> AND THE HOUSING REHABILITATION. ALL ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING, THAT IS WHAT IT CAN BE CALLED. THAT IS A MORE ACCURATE CATEGORY.
>> CAN I ASKED ONE MORE QUESTION. AND THAT SLIDE, I KNOW YOUR TIME IS WORTHWHILE, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS A LOT, WHEN WE WILL GO AND PUT THE NUMBERS THAT ARE COMPARED TO THE REGULAR PROGRAM. SHOULD WE EXPECT THAT KIND OF NUMBER?
>> PART OF ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WAS ASKED, HOW IS THE AMOUNT DECIDED.
WE JUST BECAME PART OF THE. PER SE. THAT IS HOW MUCH MONEY WE COULD.
THE BEST THING FOR US TO DO IS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT POCKETS TO PUT IT IN.
THE ADMINISTRATION FEE IS THE ADMINISTRATION FEE. WE WILL I HAVE THESE CONSULTING MOVING FORWARD. WEAVER I HAVE THAT OPTION OR YOU HAVE TO HIRE STAFF TO DO IT.
>> THAT IS THE QUESTION I HAD. AND THEN, I FORGOT MY SECOND QUESTION.
I WILL THINK OF IT AND CALL YOU. >> ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE WE LET THEM GO?
>> IF WE ACCEPT THIS, WE ALSO DON'T QUALIFY FOR ANY ADDITIONAL -- ARE WE DOING THIS NOW? A VOLUNTEER HOME BUYOUTS. I THINK YOU ARE IN MITIGATION. WE CAN'T GET THOSE.
>> NO, YOU CAN. THE MUNICIPALITIES GOOD. IT'S LIKE IT DOESN'T AFFECT THE
COUNTY THE WAY THE WAY IT AFFECTS THE MUNICIPALITIES. >> THAT WAS MY FOLLOW-UP QUESTION. I HAD A RESIDENT ASKED ME, SHE THOUGHT SHE HAD READ SOMEWHERE, THERE WAS THIS CBD JEEP MONEY AND THEN COVID CBD JEEP MONEY. IS THAT THE CASE?
>> IT IS LIKE YOU HAVE THE MEDICATION. THERE'S ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT
THINGS. >> WE ACTUALLY APPLIED FOR A GRANT.
THAT IS THE MONEY YOU APPLIED FOR TO OFFSET THE MONEY YOU WERE GOING TO USE AT THE HEALTH
DEPARTMENT. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU LADIES.
I APPRECIATE IT. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TODAY.
>> MOVING ONTO NUMBER 18 FINAL PUBLIC HEARING TO TRANSMIT HEARING FOR THE FO YOU POLICY.
MRS. CARSON IS HERE. >> JUST ON NUMBER 17, OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
>> LET'S OPEN PUBLIC HEARING ON CBD JEEP PLAN AND ANY INFORMATION YOU WOULD LIKE TO PASS TO THE BOARD TO CONSIDER AS WE FURTHER DEVELOP OUR DRAFT PLAN.
I SEE NONE. WE WILL GO BACK TO THE BOARD AND MOVE ON TO PRETEEN.
[18. 5:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as can be heard – Final Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of Transmitted Amendment to FLU Policy 1.4.8 (P.C. voted 6-0 to approve, BCC voted 5-0 to transmit) (B. Carson)]
>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. THIS ITEM IS AN AMENDMENT TO FUTURE LAND-USE POLICY.
[01:40:09]
IT WENT BEFORE THE COMMISSION ON MARCH 2 AND THE CURING BEFORE THE BOARD WAS ON MARCH 23.WE ARE SCHEDULED FOR IT TONIGHT. THE FIRST ADDITION TO THIS PLICY WAS TO ADD INSTITUTIONAL ADJACENT LAND USE. GOODNESS I CANNOT TALK. CRITERIA TO CURRENTLY SAY IT IS COMMERCIAL. IT HAS TO BE BETWEEN COMMERCIAL PARCELS BUT WE ARE ADDING INSTITUTIONAL AS WELL AS INDUSTRIAL. THIS ALSO WILL EXEMPT PARCELS WITH LAND-USE FROM THE SECOND PART OF THE POLICY SUBSECTION TWO.
THIS DISCOURAGES PARCELS FROM UNIFYING THEIR LAND USE A DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THOSE PARCELS. THIS WILL NOT RESULT IN ADDITIONAL STRIP DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT EXPANDING STRIP WISE. THESE PARCELS WOULD ALREADY BE DESIGNATED AS FUTURE LAND-USE ON THE MAP. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE.
TYPICALLY COMMERCIAL IN THE PAST HAS BEEN DESIGNATED BASED ON 30O CONSIDERATION THE ACTUAL BOUNDARIES. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE AN ENTIRE PARCEL.
THE RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THESE CHANGES WERE TRANSMITTED AND THE REVIEWING AGENCIES FOR COMMENT.
THERE WERE NO COMMENTS OR CONCERNS RAISED. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL FOR
FUTURE LAND-USE. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR BETH? >> CAN YOU GO BACK.
>> THERE'S A PIECE OF PROPERTY CUT AND STICKING OUT OF THE BACK.
>> I DID NOT EXPLAIN IT REALLY WELL. THIS TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE SEOND SECTION. YOU HAVE TWO DIFFERENT LAND USES.
YOU HAVE THE RED AND THE ORANGE. IF THE POLICY WERE TO CONTINUE AS IS.
THAT PARCEL WOULD HAVE TO DO A UNIFIED PLAN AND THEY COULD NOT DO TWO DIFFERENT USES ON THAT
PARCEL. >> I CANNOT.TO IT BUT YOU COULD PUT A WALGREENS AND BUILD SOME IN THE BACK. YOU COULD CHANGE IT BUT YOU WOULD HAVE TO DO A PLAN WITH A COMMON ENTRANCE. WALGREENS ON THE FRONT AND ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT ON THE BACK, YOU WOULD HAVE TO MAKE IT ONE USE. WHAT DOES THIS PLANT DO.
IS THAT WHAT IT DOES. >> FOUR PARCELS SPLIT LIKE THIS YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THE UNIFIED
PLAN. >> YOU COULD PUT HOUSES ON THE BACK.
>> YOU WOULD BE CHANGING THEM TO ALL COMMERCIAL. YOU WOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE A SHARED ENTRANCE. YOU COULD HAVE SEPARATE BUSINESSES.
IT WOULD NOT HAVE TO BE ONE COMMERCIAL ZONE. >> IF YOU GOT A PARCEL WITH A
LITTLE BIT THEY COULD GO BACK IN. >> IF THEY WENT THROUGH THIS AMENDMENT. THIS ESTABLISHES THE CRITERIA YOU CAN CONSIDERED TO EXPAND THE COMMERCIAL LAND USE. THE FIRST PART, IF IT IS BETWEEN TWO PARCELS, THAT IS THE FIRST CONDITION. THE SECOND IS, IF IT CROSSES LIKE IN THIS CASE AND SPLIT.
YOU HAVE TWO DIFFERENT LAND USES. THAT IS THE OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE YOU CANNOT EXPAND. BUT THE CONDITION IS, IF YOU DO THAT IT HAS TO BE A UNIFIED PLAN. BUT THE CHANGE WOULD TAKE AWAY THAT RESTRICTION ON THE PLAN, IF IT IS THIS TYPE OF SCENARIO WHERE YOU ARE CROSSING WITH TWO DIFFERENT LAND USES.
>> ANY QUESTIONS? WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING. ANYONE INTERESTED IN SPEAKING ON THIS ISSUE, PLEASE COME FORWARD. I SEE NONE WE WILL CLOSE THE HEARING AND BRING IT BACK TO THE
[01:45:06]
BOARD. >> MOVED FOR APPROVAL. >> I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. IT CARRIES 5-0.

IT ORIGINALLY CAME BEFORE US ON 525 BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE HAD TO CONTINUE TO THIS MEETING. THIS IS A PARCEL MAP. YOU CAN SEE THE PART THAT IS HAD SPIRIT THIS IS UNDER THE REQUEST TO BE CHANGED TO COMMERCIAL. THE MAP ON THE LEFT IS THE EXISTING LAND USE MAP. RED IS COMMERCIAL WHICH IS WHAT THEY ARE HOPING TO GO TO AS WELL. YOU WOULD HAVE THIS LOCATED ON COUNTY ROAD.THE MAP ON THE RIGHT SHOWS THE GRAY AND THE DARK GRAY SHOWS BOTH CATEGORIES.
THIS IS THE PROPERTY OF THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT. THERE IS A CELL TOWER AND ACROSS FROM THE CROSS LANDING YOU CAN SEE THIS. THE LEVEL OF SERVICE LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE WATER AND SEWER AREA.

>> WE ARE COMMUNICATING WITH EVERYONE. CAN THAT MONEY BE USED, EITHER FOR DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE FOR LANDLORDS? ONE OF THE THINGS WE HEARD WITH THE PRESENTATION, AND I THINK WE ALL KNOW WE HEARD IT FROM CONSTITUENTS, THERE IS NOTHING
AVAILABLE TO RENT. >> UNFORTUNATELY, THIS MONEY IS ONE 100% FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE.
IT HAS BEEN NARROWLY DEFINED. IF IT'S HELPING PEOPLE GET EDUCATED ON RENTAL PROPERTY OR HOPING TO GET SOMEONE INTO A RENTAL PROPERTY, YES BUT HELPING SOMEONE GET INTO A HOUSE, WE

WASTE UPDATE. THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES JOINS US.>> GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET YOU UP TODAY.
THINK OF THIS AS EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT GARBAGE BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK.
>> THAT IS WHY WE GAVE YOU THE JOB. >> THAT IS WHY HE KEEPS ASKING ARE YOU STILL HAVING FUN. WE HAVE SOME MAJOR THINGS TO TALK ABOUT THAT WILL IMPACT OUR SERVICES. I'M HERE TO BRIEF YOU ON WHAT IS GOING ON.
WE HAVE TWO MAJOR CONTRACTS COMING UP. ONE IS TRANSPORTATION AND DISPOSAL WHICH IS DONE BY WASTE MANAGEMENT AND THEIR SUBCONTRACTOR.
THEY ACTUALLY OPERATE AND PUT THE SPACE IN THAT IS ABOUT $7,000 WE PAY PER MONTH.
THE COLLECTION CONTRACT WHICH HAS BEEN THE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS, IS ADVANCED DISPOSAL WHICH EXPIRES SEPTEMBER 30. THE CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT EXPANSE. WHAT IS IMPORTANT, WE NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT HOW WE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH THE CONTRACTS. I WILL TALK ABOUT THAT IN DETAIL AS WE PROGRESS.
IF YOU LOOK AT RECYCLING, I AM KIND OF PROUD OF WHAT MY STAFF HAS DONE HERE.
WE ARE MAKING ABOUT $12,000 PER MONTH ON RECYCLING. IT'S MORE THAN MOST COUNTIES.
WE OPERATE UNDER A SYSTEM CALL DUAL STREAM, IT'S A LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE.
WE HAVE TRUCKS THAT ARE SPLITTING. THE GUYS ARE LOADING SEPARATE MATERIALS. WE DO HAVE THE PAPER FIBRIN ONE BEN AND OTHERS IN THE OTHER BEEN. BY VIRTUE OF THE FACT THEY DO THAT, IT GETS PLACED IN THE TRUCK BY THE DRIVERS AND THEY ARE SCREAMIG THAT MATERIAL AND KEEPING IT CLEANER.
ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE TO CONSIDER, IS WHAT WILL WE DO WITH THE RECYCLING.
THERE ARE SOME DRAMATIC THINGS WE CAN DO AND WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT ALL OF THEM.
BUT THIS IS ON EVERYONE'S RADAR. THIS IS USING TRUCKS AND YOU CAN TRY HARD TO TRAIN RESIDENTS TO FOLLOW CLOSELY ON WHAT THEY CAN RCYCLE. BUT I WILL COME BY AND DRIVE OFF. WE WILL SEE A VIDEO IN A SECOND PERIOD THE CONTAMINATION RATES ARE 25% AND THEY HAVE BEEN HARD SCIENCE 40. WHEN THAT HAPPENS THE VALUE GOES DOWN. RIGHT NOW, IN NASSAU COUNTY, THEY ARE BEING CHARGED $180 PER TURN AND THEY CAN SHARE WHAT BENEFIT THEY GAIN. AND IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO
COVERING WHAT THEY ARE PAYING. >> A COUPLE OF OTHER OPTIONS. RE- ESTABLISHING WHAT WE HAD IN
[02:00:01]
THE PAST SO WE ARE WORKING WITH CITIZENS TO BRING CLEAN MATERIAL.THERE'S ALSO A PROGRAM CALLED PRO AS YOU GO. THE CLOSEST COUNTY THAT I AM FAMILIAR WITH THAT USES IT. THEY HAVE A 32-GALLON CONTAINER AND A 96-GALLON CONTAINER.
EACH ONE COMES AT A DIFFERENT PRICE EVERY MONTH. YOU GIVE PEOPLE AN INCENTIVE TO GET THE CONTAINERS AND RECYCLE MORE. ON A NATIONAL LEVEL, THE REDUCED COVERAGE IS 10%. WHY IS RECYCLING USING MONEY. TERESA, CLICK THE LINK FOR US.
IT IS A TWO MINUTE VIDEO YOU WILL FIND VERY ENLIGHTENING. ( VIDEO PLAYING ).
>> I PULLED THAT OFF OF YOU TO. THERE ARE DOZENS OF EXAMPLES THAT INDICATE WHAT KIND OF A PROBLEM THAT DEVELOPED. THREE OR FOUR YEARS AGO THEY WERE GETTING PAID, NOW THEY ARE PAYING OVER $110 AND SPLITTING WHAT THEY CAN GET FOR COMMODITIES WHICH IS NOT THAT MUCH. I AM OF THE FRAME OF MIND, IT IS YOUR DECISION BUT WE CAN LOOK FORWARD AND LOOK AT REVAMPING. WE SHOULD MAKE MONEY AND THE PRODUCT SHOULD BE CLEAN.
IF WERE NOT READY TO DO THAT, YOU WILL LEARN MORE AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
ADDITIONAL RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMS THAT ARE UNIQUE TO CLAY COUNTY. BACK IN 2007 WHEN THE CONTRACT WAS WRITTEN, THE DECISION WAS MADE TO KEEP IT OPEN. THERE IS A COST TO THAT.
ALSO, WE OFFER RESIDENTS FREE DISPOSAL. NO DISRESPECT TO ANYONE BUT WE KNOW FOR A FACT THERE ARE A LOT OF SMALL CONTRACTORS COMING IN AND COSTING US MONEY.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE TRANSPARENCY UP THERE, TYPICALLY ONE POINT TO TURNS IS GENERATED.
WE ARE GIVING AWAY 13 TONS. WE ARE GIVING PEOPLE INCENTIVES. THE TWO PROGRAMS COMBINED SHOWS THE EXPENSE. IT IS A NICE COURTESY AND NICE TO OFFER THINGS TO THE RESIDENTS
[02:05:01]
BUT WE WANT TO LOOK AT THE ACTUAL EXPENSES. IF YOU LOOK AT THE ASSESSMENTS, $226 PER YEARS WHEN EVERYONE PAYS, SUMMITS FOR COLLECTION. 72% FOR DISPOSAL.THAT MAKES AN ANNUAL REVENUE OF 60 MILLION PER YEAR IT VARIES BECAUSE THE POPULATION.
THEN WE GET ADDITIONAL FUNDING AND THE FRANCHISE FEES. THAT'S ANOTHER 6.4 MILLION.
THAT IS A TOTAL OF 22.4 MILLION BUT WE OPERATE UNDER WHAT IS UNTOUCHABLE.
IT IS HOW WE MANAGE EXPECTATION CALLS, INFRASTRUCTURE GROWTH AND EVERYTHING THAT COMES WITH THIS BUSINESS. OVER CURRENT RESERVE IS IN GOOD SHAPE.
IF YOU WANT TO COMPARISON YOU CAN SEE PUTNAM COUNTY, $291 PER YEAR FOR THEIR ASSESSMENTS.
WE ARE AT 226 WE ARE OUT OF THE CLOSEST DEMOGRAPHIC THAT IS CLOSE TO OUR AREA.
WE ARE THE LOWEST FOR CHARGES AND THE ASSESSMENTS. OUR PRIMARY EXPENDITURES, MONTHLY COLLECTION TRANSPORTATION AND DISPOSAL. OUR MONTHLY YARD WASTE IS $45,000 PER MONTH. WE DO HAVE A FIGHT TO SHERRY RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP CLOSING CRITERIA AND THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IT IS LIKE KEEPING A LANDFIELD OPENING DOING EVERYTHING EVERYTHING YOU WOULD NORMALLY DO. WE DO HAVE FOR LANDFILLS AND TO OUR CLOTHES. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WHAT TO DO WITH THOSE.
THE MANAGER HAS A CLOSED LANDFILL. THEY TURNED IT INTO A BIG -- A KIDS BARK, WHEN I WAS THERE, IT WAS A VENUE FOR WATCHING MUSICAL ACTS.
PEOPLE WITH JUST SETTLED THERE. TERE ARE SOME OTHER IDEAS. THERE ARE MORE WE CAN TALK ABOUT. OUR NEXT STEPS AND WHAT I INTEND TO DO, TO FOSTER SOME CHANGES, I'M LOOKING TO CONTRACT WITH AN ENGINEER THAT IS INDEPENDENT. THERE IS A PIGGYBACK OPTION WITHIN ENGINEER I WORKED WITH OUT OF NASSAU COUNTY. MANAGEMENT AND I ARE TALKING ABOUT THAT. I WANT TO USE THE ENGINEER TO PLAN,.
I WANT TO REVIEW THE CYCLING OPTIONS AND DO A SWALLOW. LOOK AT THE STRENGTHS AND OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS. WE WANT TO REVAMP. GIVEN THAT WE WERE DOING WELL WE WANT TO DO IT BETTER IF WE CONTINUE TO DO IT. I KNOW I MENTIONED THIS BEFORE I THINK WE NEED TO DIVIDE THE COUNTY INTO DIFFERENT SECTIONS. EACH SECTION WOULD HAVE A DIFFERENT CAPACITY AND WE WOULD SEE THE PRINCELY POPULATIONS. RESIDENTS ARE ON THE STREET.
WE HAVE ALL SEEN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF TEMPORARY LABOR.
THEN IN OTHER AREAS LIKE DISTRICT FOUR, WHERE THERE ARE MORE RURAL AREAS AND DIRT ROADS,
>> THEY HAVE BUILD A MEGAWATT SOLAR FACILITY THAT FEEDS THE GRID.
THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE LOOKING AT WHEN IT COMES TO COST AND FUNCTIONALITY.
[02:10:01]
IMPROVEMENTS FOR GROWTH, SIMPLY STATED, ARE WE PREPARED TO GROW. WE ARE AT 1,000 TONS PER DAY.OUR PERMIT EXPIRES. THAT IS WITHIN 3-5 YEARS. WE NEED TO THINK NOW ABOUT WHAT
WE WILL DO TO GROW AS A COUNTY. >> WHEN I EXPECT TO DO EARLY IN THE NEXT YEAR, IS TO PREPARE A REQUEST FOR A PROPOSAL. WE WILL CONSIDER THE GROWTH AND THE DEMOGRAPHIC ZONES AND THE RECYCLING OPTIONS AND THE SUSTAINABILITY. A TEN YEAR CONTRACT THAT WILL ALLOW FOR NEW AND IMPROVED ASSETS. ON THE VIDEO YOU SAW US PICKING UP CANS, HE ALSO SAW A VIDEO OF THE AND DUMPING INTO THE HOPPER. SOME COMPANIES CALL IT SMART TRUCKS AND OTHERS, AND OTHER THINGS. IT COMES AT A HIGHER CAUSE BUT YOU CAN FIND, WHAT IS COMING OUT OF THE GARBAGE CANS. IT PEOPLE MISUSE THE BINS, WE DO HAVE VIDEO PROOF, THAT YOU SHOULD NOT BE IN THE RECYCLING PROGRAM.
YOU ARE REALLY NEED IT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY. REAR LOAD TOLD TRUCKS, CURRENT USE REQUIRES EXTENSIVE LATER LABOR. HELP IT'S BEEN THE BIG PROBLEM.
AND THE POTENTIAL ACTIVITY IS IN JEOPARDY IF WE STAY WITH THE REAR LETTERS.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY LIQUID DAMAGE ASSESSMENTS IN OUR CURRENT CONTRACT.
I DON'T LIKE TO KICK ANYONE WHEN THEY ARE DOWN BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE THE ABILITY, WHEN A COMPANY IS NOT DOING WELL, TO MOTIVATE THEM TO GET BACK ON THE BALL.
THAT IS WHAT THOSE ARE FOR. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS, PERMITS, THE PERMITS OWNED BY WASTE MANAGEMENT ARE THE ONES WE USED TO OPERATE. THEY WILL LOOK AT WHAT IT WILL TAKE FOR US TO TURN THESE OVER TO CLAY COUNTY OWNERSHIP. TIME AND CONSIDERATION FOR ASSETS. 18-24 MONTHS. IT WILL TAKE TO OBTAIN THE TRUCKS. THAT IS WHAT WE ARE CURRENTLY USING.
BECAUSE OF THAT, WE WILL NOT GET INTO THE TIME ZONE. WE WILL START EARLY NEXT YEAR, SO THEY HAVE UP TO TWO YEARS TO BUY THE TRUCKS AND GET THEM SET UP.
THE TEN YEAR THINK WE TALKED ABOUT IT PROVIDES US THE ABILITY TO GET HIGHER-QUALITY TRUCKS AND A MONITORING SYSTEM AND HIGHER-QUALITY TRUCKS, THEY ARE HAPPY TO BUY THOSE THINGS AS LONG AS THEY HAVE THE TIME TO DO IT OVER TEN YEARS. THE OTHER THING, THAT IT'S OBVIOUS ABOUT ALL OF THIS AND MOST OF YOU HAVE SEEN THIS. LAST MONDAY, THE MONDAY OF MEMORIAL DAY, WASTE MANAGEMENT PAID A $100 BONUS FOR EMPLOYEES TO COME IN.
DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES TO GET THE LABOR HERE. ALONG WITH OUTCOMES, THE INCREASED COSTS. WE CAN ANTICIPATE WITHOUT QUESTION OR HESITATION THAT THE COST WILL RISE WITH THE SERVICE. WE ARE WORKING DILIGENTLY TO FIND THE BEST OPTIONS AND WHAT IS FEASIBLE. EXIT THIS TO ALL OF YOU TWO WEEKS AGO.
IT IS TWO PAGES ON WHAT IS HAPPENING AND THE RECOMMENDATIONS.
THIS IS THE PUBLIC SECTOR, THE BRANCH OF THE TRADE INDUSTRY. SO CITIES AND COUNTIES ARE MEMBERS OF SMALL. SWAN SAYS COLLECTING THIS YOU NEED TO STOP.
I'M PROUD TO TELL YOU WE HAVE NEVER STOPPED COLLECTING ANYTHING.
THAT CAME FROM TEAMWORK WITH OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AND ALSO THE CITY LETTING US USE THE TRUCKS PARAGRAPH ALSO RECENTLY PUT IN A REQUEST, I DON'T KNOW IF MANAGERS HAVE HAD A CHANCE, A REQUEST TO HIRE FOR TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES FOR FOUR MONTHS. ON THE DAYS THAT WE DO NOT NEED THEM THEY WILL BE IN PUBLIC WORKS PICKING UP GARBAGE IN FRONT OF THE MOWERS.
SO WE CAN THANK THEM FOR WHAT THEY DO. THAT IS THE END OF MY PRESENTATION AND I'M STANDING BY FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU CHARLIE. IT IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE HAD IN-DEPTH DEEP DIVING AS THE CONTY MANAGER SAID INTO GARBAGE. IT'S THE BEST.
[02:15:01]
IT'S NOT THE MOST PLEASANT THING TO TALK ABOUT BUT YOU HAVE BROUGHT UP IDEAS, I AGREE, WE NEED TO CHANGE WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING TO MOVE FORWARD AND THE FASTER WE CAN GET INTO THAT THE BETTER OFF WE WILL BE. YOU SHOWED THE COMPARISON. IS THIS WHY IT'S HIGHER THAN WHERE WE ARE. OR DO WE JUST HAVE A BETTER CONTRACT.>> THAT IS WHAT THE COUNTY HAS EVALUATED TO PAY FOR THE SERVICE.
WE ARE OPERATING AT A LOWER COST. THIS IS DUBOIS COUNTY.
THIS IS $150. IT DOES NOT REALLY MORE -- REALLY COMPARE PICK.
>> THEY ALSO STILL NOT PICKING UP YARD WASTE. I GOT A CALL FROM THE DIRECTOR ASKING HOW WE DID IT. THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT CLAY COUNTY.
>> I KNOW YOU ARE FRUSTRATED. THE ONE THING I WOULD SUGGEST, YOU CONSIDER THE TWO-PAGE VERSION. THIS IS A NATIONAL TOPIC. DON'T BE AFRAID TO SHERRY.
I GET A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THEY DON'T BUY IT. I THINK, THE MEN AND WOMEN ARE
DOING A GREAT JOB THIS CAN BE EXPECTED. >> DOES ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS? THIS HAD BIGGER QUANTITIES. YOU CANNOT GET RID OF THIS STUFF AND YOU CANNOT MAKE MONEY AT IT.
WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO US AS THE COMMUNITY. YOU HAVE TO SELL IT BOUGHT BACK CONCET. THERE SUSTIVA -- THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT THINK THEY ARE SEPARATING OUT. YOU CAN FIND IT COST YOU MORE THAN WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO GET FOR IT. THAT WILL BE A HARD SELL. THERE ARE WAYS TO RECYCLE.
IT JUST TAKES A LITTLE MORE MONEY AND EDUCATION. THERE IS A TRUCK CALLED, IT IS A FOUR SECTION TRUCK AND THE DRIVER COMES UP AND THEY LOCKED UP IN AND THEY SORT THE MATERIALS RIGHT THERE. UNBELIEVABLY HIGH. COMMODITY PRICING.
YOUR COMMENTS ARE WELL TAKEN. THEY HAD TWO VERY LARGE INCINERATOR PLANS.
I THINK THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT CLARK PLAZA. THE COMPANY SAID IT WAS THE
GREATEST THING TO HAPPEN. >> THEY COULDN'T SHOW ONE FACILITY.
[02:20:03]
THERE IS ONE WE HAVE PLANS FOR. BUT THEY WANT TO COME INTO THE COUNTY AND THEY THINK THERE'S WAYS FOR THEM TO MAKE MONEY THAT HAS NOT BEEN PROVEN. TERE ARE A MILLION GUYS THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING COOL AND OUT WAY TO HANDLE GARBAGE BUT THE TRUTH IS THERE'S ONLY LANDFILL OR RECYCLE. YOU HAVE TO BE GOOD AT BOTH. THERE ARE SOME COMMODITIES THAT NEED TO GO AWAY AND I WILL PITCH THAT. THAT THE GLASS, WE ARE SURROUNDED BY IT. WE HAVE ONLY HAD ONE PROCESSOR CALL IT STRATEGIC MATERIALS.IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING, THEY HAVE SHUT THE DOORS. WHEN WE DO.
DO WE GO THROUGH THE MOTIONS BECAUSE IT IS COMFORTABLE OR DO WE STEPBACK HERE DO WE SEND IT TO A PLACE WHERE THEY ARE CHARGING $180 PER TON. WE ARE JUST NOT DOING THIS WELL
AND WE NEED TO LOOK BACK AT THE CLEAN SLATE APPROACH. >> THEY WERE TURBULENT AND THE BEGINNING BUT I THINK THEY FIGURED IT OUT. THEY EDUCATED THE POPULATION ON
IT. >> ANYTHING THAT CHANGES WILL GET PEOPLE UPSET.
IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE. WE PICK UP. PEOPLE GET INTO ROUTINES AND THEY LIKE TO DO WHAT THEY DO. WE NEED TO EDUCATE BETTER AND MAKE IT WORK.
>> I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM GETTING A HOLD OF WASTE MANAGEMENT. MIGHT RECYCLE BIN IS IN PIECES.
CAN YOU TELL ME HOW THAT CAN HAPPEN. >> WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THAT.
I TELL YOU, THEY HAVE A SYSTEM THEY CALLED THE PREMIER CUSTOMER SERVICE SYSTEM WHERE THEY GO THROUGH A SERIES OF LOCAL EMPLOYEES. I THINK THEY HAVE SIX OF THEM.
>> SIX EMPLOYEES THAT IF THEY GET CLOGGED WITH PHONE CALLS, THEY GO TO THEIR PHOENIX FACILITY. THE SMARTEST AND SMARTEST THING TO DO IS TO CALL US.
>> THE MAIN OFFICE NUMBER. >> 2846374. >> COME BY THERE TO GET IT, WHAT
HAPPENS THERE? >> ALBERT DEPARTMENT OFFICE. WE CAN LET WASTE MANAGEMENT NOW, AND WE PRIORITIZE THINGS BASED ON REOCCURRING OFFENSES. WE WILL PUSH IT THROUGH QUICKLY.
IF YOU CALL US WE WILL TAKE CARE OF IT. WE ENCOURAGE THE CITIZENS TO USE THE TECHNOLOGY AND THE SYSTEM AS A WAY TO FILL OUT THE PAPERWORK SILICATES DISTRIBUTED TO
EVERYONE AND TAKEN CARE OF. >> THE 500 POUNDS PER WEEK, IS NOT SOMETHING WE WILL CONTINUE? I'M QUESTIONING, WHAT A RESIDENT IS DOING TO CREATE 500 POUNDS PER WEEK.
>> I THINK THIS TOOK PLACE AS A WAY TO PLACATE PEOPLE AND SAY, YOU CAN STILL BRING THE WASTE HERE. I THINK IT MAY HAVE BEEN A STORM FOR THE ACTUAL WOULD.
THE FREE WOOD AND THEN IT TURNED INTO FREEWAYS. THE WHOLE INTENT IS TO LAY OUT A PROGRAM OF IMPROVEMENT AND BRING IT TO YOU FOR APPROVAL AND MAKE IT HAPPEN.
BUT YEAH, THERE ARE A FEW PROGRAMS WE HAVE TO LOOK AT AND THEY WILL BE UPSET.
RESIDENTS WILL BE UPSET. >> I DON'T THINK A RESIDENT CAN PRODUCE 500 POUNDS OF GARBAGE PER WEEK. A TRUE RESIDENT. A CONTRACTOR MAY.
>> AND BROWN GOODS, WHITE GOODS, DID WE PICK THAT UP IN THE COUNTY?
>> WE DO BULK PICKUP, THAT IS PART OF OUR CONTRACT AND WE HAVE A DROP-OFF SERVICE WHERE WE TAKE THEM. IS IT FREE? WE PICK THEM UP?
>> KNOW. >> NO WE CANNOT PICK ANYTHING UP.
THE BROWN GOODS WITH THE WHITE GOODS. NO, SIR.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT BROWN GOODS ARE. IF SOMEONE PUTS OUT A SOFA.
>> DO WE PICK THAT UP, OR DO THEY HAVE TO BRING IT. >> INK IN BE DONE.
[02:25:06]
THE CONTRACTS DO NOT REQUIRE US TO CALL BUT I RECOMMEND PEOPLE THAT THEY CALLED US OR PUT A COMPUTER REQUESTED. YOU HAVE A RECORD OF THE GOING IN.A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BRING IT OUT LATE IN THE DAY AND WONDER WHY IT DIDN'T DO THAT.
>> WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT A BOOK PICK UP, THAT AT COST TO THE RESIDENT COLLECTS.
>> IT'S IN THE CONTRACT. YOU CHARGE FOR BOAT PICKUP? >> IT ISN'T THE COLLECTION.
>> LAST QUESTION, I HAVE ONE RESIDENT THAT PUTS OUT AND THERE IS NO EXAGGERATION, 15-24 GALLONS GARBAGE PAILS FULL OF TREE LIMBS AND ALL OF THAT STUFF.
YOU HAVE A THREE CUBIC YARD, MAX. >> TYPICALLY WHAT WASTE MANAGEMENT HAS TO GET BETTER AT IS TAGGING. 30 YARDS OF WASTE ON THE GROUND.
THE NEED TO SAY WE WILL TAKE YOUR WAYS. THESE SMART TRUCKS, THEY HAVE GPS, SO EVERY TIME THE OPERATOR HITS THE BUTTON, IT TAKES A PICTURE OF EVERYTHING AROUND THEM AND VIDEOTAPED THE WASTE COMING IN. IF SOMEONE WERE TO COME IN AND SAY YOU DID PICK UP MY GARBAGE OR SOME PEOPLE SAY I DON'T DO THAT WE HAVE VIDEO PROOF
BASICALLY OF ALL OF THAT. >> DO THEY HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO DO THAT.
HE SAID, I DROVE A GARBAGE TRUCK. HE SAID, THEN I LEFT BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO GET FIRED BY WASTE MANAGEMENT. HE SAID THEY WANTED TO GO TO AN IPAD SYSTEM AND HE HAD TO PUNCH A BUTTON WHEN HE GOT TO THE RESIDENT THAT HE WAS THERE AND THEN HE WAS A TIME AND IF HE HAD TO BUCKLE HIS SEATBELT AND OUT OF THE RURAL AREA YOU CAN GO DOWN A DIRT ROAD. IF HE DID NOT BUCKLE HIS SEATBELT BETWEEN THE LOCATIONS, HE WAS DOCKED POINTS AND THEY HAD DRIVERS BEING FIRED FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO DO THAT.
I GUESS I QUESTIONED SOME OF THE SMART TECHNOLOGY. WHAT ARE WE COMPENSATING THE DRIVERS FOR. IF THEY ARE GREAT, OR ARE THEY GREAT TECHNOLOGY OPERATORS.
IT'S NOT ALWAYS THE SAME. WE LOST A REALLY GOOD DRIVER AND THEY GAINED A GOOD DRIVER.
DO YOU FOLLOW WHAT I'M SAYING. >> I FOLLOW WHEN I CAN SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE AND I WORKED FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT FOR YEARS. THEY HAD SOME HIGH STANDARDS. I WAS ONE OF THE TRANSITION MANAGERS TO EXPLAIN IT. THERE'S NOTHING DIFFICULT. AT THE TIME, THE FRONT LOADER CONTAINERS, THEY HAD AN IPAD THAT THEY TOOK A PICTURE ONLY IF THE CONTAINER WAS FULL.
IF YOU OWN A BUSINESS, YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN. TYPICALLY THE WASTE COMPANY WILL PICK UP THE CAN AND SET IT DOWN AND LEAVE THE REST ON THE STREET.
CAN YOU SAY WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT I'M PAYING FOR MY GARBAGE. IF IT IS FULL, YOU MAY NEED TO DO IT THREE TIMES PER WEEK BUT IT COSTS A LOT OF MONEY FOR THE GUYS TO HANDLE IT.
THEY ARE CARELESSLY -- CAREFULLY MATRICULATED ON HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE.
THERE ARE SOME TROOPS TO WHAT YOU SAID BUT IT'S NOT PRISONLIKE IT'S MORE OF A HIGHER STANDARD.
AND JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE, PEOPLE RESIST CHANGE. >> BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WHEN YOU ARE COMPETING TO GET EMPLOYEES. IF THEY ARE MAKING $12 PER HOUR AND THIS IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO AND THEN GO DRIVE FOR AMAZON AND NOT BE ON THIS.
I'M NOT SAYING AMAZON THEY ARE NOT THE BEST BUT I GUESS, I KNOW WE CANNOT TELL OUR CONTRACT OUT TO RUN THEIR BUSINESS AND TREAT EMPLOYEES BUT I THINK THERE ARE TWO SIDES OF THE STORY.
WE HEAR ABOUT RESIDENT TO HAVE ANGRY CONFRONTATIONS WITH DRIVERS OR THROWERS OR THINGS LIKE THAT BUT I THINK THE PEOPLE ARE UNDER A LOT OF STRESS AND TO ASK THEM THAT, I AM NOT SURE, AS WITH TAXPAYER MONEY, I'M NOT SURE, ARE WE REALLY GETTING THE HIGH-LEVEL EMPLOYEE AND WHAT
[02:30:04]
EXACTLY, HOW DO YOU MEASURE, THAT I WILL PAY YOU MORE MONEY SO I CAN GET A BETTER PERFORMING EMPLOYEE ON AN IPAD VERSUS AN EMPLOYEE ON COLLECTING MY GARBAGE.I'M NOT SURE THAT, ONLY THE BUSINESS OWNER CAN MAKE THE CALL ON IF IT IS WORTH IT.
BUT ARE THEY REALLY TRYING TO TRACK THE EMPLOYEE OR SAVE MORE MONEY AND PUT IT INTO THEIR POCKETS TO PAD THEIR PROFIT MARGIN. THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT I
WONDER. >> IT SOUNDS LIKE, THE DRIVER YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, WASTE MANAGEMENT AS A FRANCHISE. THERE ARE 24 OTHER COMPANIES THAT PROVIDE THE SAME SERVICE.
>> NO HE DROVE FOR ADVANCED DISPOSAL. HE DID GARBAGE ROUTES.
>> HE DID RESIDENTIAL ROADS. I DON'T KNOW THAT WASTE MANAGEMENT HAVE DONE THE SNAPSHOT UNLESS THERE'S CHRONIC PROBLEMS. LET ME TELL YOU A QUICK STORY.
I USED TO WORK FOR BFI. THERE WAS ONE CUSTOMER, EVERY WEEK WILL CALL AND SAY WE MISS HIS PICKUP. HE WOULD HARASS THE DRIVER AND ONE DAY I WENT OUT WITH THE GUY.
I WROTE IN THE TRUCK WITH HIM AND WE PULLED UP AND SURE ENOUGH THERE WAS NO GARBAGE CANS THERE.
WE GOT THREE HOUSES DOWN THE CAMERA NOW TO SCAN. I WENT AND I SPOKE TO THEM AND I SAY WE NOT GOING TO TAKE YOUR CAN'T. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OUT THERE.
I WASN'T DOING IT TO BE MEAN BUT THE COST ASSOCIATED FOR OPERATING THE TRUCK, IF YOU HAVE TO TURN AROUND AND TAKE 15 MINUTES, YOU'RE LOSING YOUR PROFITS FROM QUITE A FEW HOUSES.
IT IS A VERY METICULOUS BUSINESS ON THE COLLECTION SITE AND I THINK THE LORD I'M NOT PART OF IT ANYMORE. BUT IT IS A VERY CHALLENGING AND FRUSTRATING JOB.
I THINK, THERE IS A PERIOD WHERE THERE WILL BE SOME TRANSITION. I THINK FOR THE MOST PART, PEOPLE HAVE STAYED, THE KEY PLAYERS WE SEE HAVE STAYED. I THINK I'M WE JUST NEED TO GIVE IT TIME. I WILL INVESTIGATE ANYTHING IN 15 MINUTES IF YOU SAY THERE IS A
PROBLEM. >> LET ME ASK A QUESTION. WHAT IS THE PROBABILITY IF WE PUT THIS OUT FOR BID, WE WILL GET A EQUIVALENT TO ADVANCE EXPOSING, SETTING UP AN
OPERATION WITHIN THE COUNTY IS THAT A STUPID IDEA? >> I WOULD NOT CALL IT STUPID BUT CHALLENGING. WE ARE TALKING 68,000 HOMES. MAINTAINING THE TRUCKS, THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND HELPING WITH MATE -- WASTE MANAGEMENT. WHEN YOU DO THAT YOU WILL BE ON THE STREET ALL OF THE TIME. I THINK WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ON HOW WE MOVE FORWARD.
I ALSO LOOK AT GARBAGE REMOVAL AS KEY. IS NOT IT'S TIME TO EVALUATE IT AGAIN AND SEE IF IT IS REALISTIC. WE CAN SEE IF WE WOULD HAVE CONTROL. THERE WOULD BE NO SECOND PARTY TO POINT FINGERS AT.
AND DURING A MAJOR EVENT, WE MAY HAVE OPTIONS WITH THAT AS WELL. I'M NOT SAYING IT IS A GOOD IDEA BUT I THINK IT IS WORTH EVALUATING. IF WE GOD AND BID THIS, WHO
WOULD BID ON IT. >> WASTE MANAGEMENT. REPUBLIC SERVICES.
>> SO THERE ARE FIVE COMPANIES? >> THAT IS A MAY BE. >> KEEP IN MIND, I DON'T KNOW WE
HAVE AN OPTION. >> THEY ARE BIDDING ON HOW WE PRESENT.
WE VIEWED THEM AND THIS IS WHAT WE EXPECT, THIS IS HOW MUCH IT WILL COST.
WE HAVE TO BE GOOD AND FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITIES ARE CRITICAL. THE PRICE WILL GO A.
I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR THE LAST FIVE YEAR, THE THE PRICES ARE 30-YEARS-OLD.
[02:35:02]
I CAN ALSO TELL YOU, THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE, PROFITABLE ROUTE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA INRESIDENTIAL AND THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. >> I WOULD SAY THE DECISIONS ARE CORRECT, WE HAD THE LOWEST RATES. NOW WE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS BECAUSE THOSE SERVICES. THE QUESTION IS, WHAT DO WE DO FROM HERE.
YOU ARE ON IT. YOU ARE OUT IN FRONT OF IT. THAT IS A GOOD THING.
I SUGGEST WE LOOK AT THE OPTIONS. >> ANYTHING ELSE? THANK YOU. THINK YOUR TEAM. WE APPRECIATE EVERYONE.
WE KNOW IT IS A TOUGH CHALLENGE AND WE KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN ANSWERING THE BELL.
>> AND HE HERE. YOU CAN LEAVE AT ANY TIME. BUT WE ENJOY HAVING YOU HERE.
>> IS A VETERAN, HE STAYING THERE. >> I SAW A LOT OF TRAFFIC.

THE THIRD IS MOVING THE BUDGET TO ONE ITEM FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF LIGHTING FIXTURES AT THE FAIRGROUNDS. AND THE FOR THAT RIGID $50,000 TO THE ROAD PROJECT TO ADDRESS SAFETY CONCERNS ON THE SHOULDERS. THE STATE IS CONTRIBUTING $939,000. THE CONTRACT WILL COME UNDER APPROVAL IN A SECOND ITEM.

>> SECOND. >> NUMBER FOUR, IS THAT A CHANGE ORDER, OR WHAT.
>> THE BID CAME IN AT JUST OVER $1 MILLION. WE HAVE BUT THE STATE WOULD GIVE US IN A LAP AGREEMENT. THAT MIGHT INCREASE BY $75,000 BUT UNTIL THEN I AM NOT CHANGING
THE BUDGET. >> I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND THAT HE SAID WHAT HE THOUGHT THE NUMBER WAS. THE BID TURNS OUT TO BE JUST OVER 1 MILLION.
>> IS IT BECAUSE WE DID NOT ESTIMATE IT RIGHT ORIGINALLY? >> THAT IS A RICHER QUESTION.
>> IT DIDN'T WORK. SO THAT WAS BASED ON THEIR CRITERIA.
THAT WAS WHEN WE WERE DOING THE ON HEARING. >> THE WIDENING WOULD BE ABLE TO

IT FOCUSES ON THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT SPORTS GROUPS NEED, BOTH SIGNATURE AND SPECIAL EVENTS ARE ONLY USED FOR MARKETING EFFORTS WHERE THE SPORTS GRANT IS DIFFERENT AND IT CAN BE USED FOR OPERATIONS. IN CASES LIKE CYCLING, THE COMPETITORS, WE ARE NOT MARKETING TO THE COMPETITORS THEY ARE INVITED. BOOK COST COMES OPERATIONS LIKE LAW ENFORCEMENT AND DIFFERENT TIMEKEEPERS AND THOSE TYPE OF THINGS.

WE WILL MOVE TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS. ANYTHING FROM THE CLERK AND CALM ROLLERS OFFICE? THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. COMMISSIONER, GIVE ANYTHING?
[COMMISSION AUDITOR]
ACTUALLY I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU GUYS TODAY. HAD THERE, I HAVE COMPLETED MY REVIEW OF THE CODE ENFORCEMENT PROCESS FROM ONE OF OUR PRIOR BOARD MEETINGS.I WOULD LIKE TO THANK CHARISSE AND HER TEAM THEY ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS.
IT WAS HELPFUL LOOKING AT THE DOCUMENTATION THAT THEY HAVE. TAKE OVERALL MY CONCLUSION IS THE DEPARTMENT HAS ADEQUATE PROCESSES AND POLICIES IN PLACE, AND THAT THEY DO THEIR DUE DILIGENCE WORKING WITH THE CITIZENS IN ORDER TO MANAGE THE VIOLATIONS.
YOU HAVE ALL RECEIVED A DRAFT COPY OF MY REPORT. A FINAL COPY WILL BE ISSUED THIS WEEK. WE DID HAVE THREE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT CAME OUT OF THE REVIEW. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE COUNTY MANAGER OF THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS. WE AGREED THEY SHOULD BE PUT INTO PLACE AND THE TEAM HAS WORKED TO PUT THEM INTO PLACE. SOME HAVE BEEN HALF COMPLETED BY THE DEPARTMENT STILL PENDING MY REVIEW TO SAY THEY HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS.
>> THE FIRST RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES THAT THE DEPARTMENT AS WILL BE UPDATED. THEY HAVE WHAT THEY CALL A CICI, AND THE PROCEDURES.
MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO ENHANCE THOSE TO INCLUDE SPECIFIC THINGS LIKE WHO WAS PERFORMING THE DUTIES AND A TIMELINE OF WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN AND IF SOMETHING DOESN'T HAPPEN WHAT ARE THE RAMIFICATIONS. WHAT LEADS THEM TO THEIR CONCLUSIONS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
THE SECOND RECOMMENDATION IS FOR THEM TO SEND OUT MORE LETTERS TO THE CITIZENS THAT HAVE OUTSTANDING LIENS. DURING OUR DISCUSSION THEY SAID THEY RECENTLY SENT OUT LETTERS AND THEY GOT FEEDBACK FROM THE CITIZENS AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THEM CORRECTED.
WE AGREED, THEY WILL SEND THOSE OUT SEMIANNUALLY. AND THEN AGAIN IN DECEMBER.
THE THIRD RECOMMENDATION IS TO COME UP WITH A FORECLOSURE EVALUATION PROCESS, THIS IS JUST AN EVALUATION ON THE OUTSTANDING LIENS. EVEN TO SAY IS THIS POSSIBLE.
HOW OFTEN WILL THAT TAKE PLACE. THAT WILL BE DONE, MY UNDERSTANDING, THAT WILL BE DONE ON EACH OF THE PROPERTIES. IT WOULD BE MORE LIKE A YES OR NO AND AT WHAT POINT WILL IT
BECOME BENEFICIAL TO FORECLOSE. >> BEFORE WE RACK UP $1 MILLION IN FINES WE DON'T COLLECT, LET'S EVALUATE TO SEE IF WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH IT. TECHNICALLY WE COULD FORECLOSE ONE MONTH, THREE MONTHS IS A GOOD NUMBER. AND THEN DO THE FORMAL EVALUATION. MAYBE MAKE THAT AVAILABLE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT IN MY
DISTRICT. >> WHEN I SAT WITH HEATHER, I THOUGHT THAT WAS ESSENTIAL
[02:55:12]
MOVING FORWARD. ANY NEW ENFORCEMENT OR CODE VIOLATION, WE HAD TO STAY CURRENT. WE HAD TO WRITE THAT AND NOT PUT IT AWAY.>> I AGREE WITH THAT. I GO TO A LOT OF HOA MEETINGS THAT THEY SAY WE BROUGHT THIS UP LAST MONTH, WHAT DID THE COUNTY DO. WE WROTE A LETTER.
AT LEAST THIS WAY, AND THREE MONTHS I CAN SAY IF THERE'S A HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION AND WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING. HE'S NOT HERE NOW, HE WAS HERE EARLIER, THEY ARE STARTING THEIR AUDIT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. THAT WOULD RIDE WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE.
WE WOULD HAVE AN OFFICIAL COUNT AS TO WHETHER IT IS HOMESTEAD PROPERTY OR NOT.
SO, FROM THAT STANDPOINT IT'S EASIER TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION.
AND WHETHER IT IS BENEFICIAL. >> WILL THEY BE ABLE TO EVALUATE THAT TO SEE, FROM THE START.
>> LET'S SAY WE DO THIS. >> HE WILL DO IT ONCE. AND IF THE PROPERTY ISN'T THE SAME NAME. OR IF IT'S NOT, YOU CAN SEE IF THEY HAVE HAD A HOMESTEAD.
IT WOULD GIVE US A BASELINE OF EVERY PROPERTY AS TO WHETHER IT HAS A HOMESTEAD.
IT WILL BE GOOD FOR EVER BECAUSE WE CAN TRACK TO SEE IF IT HAS BEEN SOLD AND WHETHER IT HAS A
HOMESTEAD OR NOT. >> IF IT CHANGES, IF WE DON'T LOOK AT IT ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, HE IS PAYING TO GET THIS DONE. I'M SURE THIS HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE, WHENEVER THEY STARTED DOING THIS. I AM SUGGESTING WE HAVE A WAY TO CHECK SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT
BEFORE WE DO THIS. >> I WAS APPALLED, THAT IN MY DISTRICT, IN MY DISTRICT WE HAVE $15 MILLION IN LIENS AND WE ARE SECOND ONLY TO COMMISSIONERS DISTRICT.
THE REST ARE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER. I HAVE ONE THAT HAS A LIEN ON ONE PROPERTY. I UNDERSTAND THE STAFFING ISSUE TOO.
THESE THINGS TAKE A LOT OF MANPOWER. SOMEONE HAS TO MAKE THE EVALUATION. I THINK GOING FORWARD, I AM GOING TO GUESS OUT OF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BECOME REVIEWS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON WHERE WE SHOULD GO WITH THE PROCESS INSTEAD OF JUST, SO WE CAN HAVE A FORMAL PROCESS TO SAY WE WILL EVALUATE THIS.
YOU CAN GET THE LIEN AND IN THREE MONTHS YOU GOT IT. I THINK YOU GOT IT IN TEN YEARS.
>> I HAVE A TWO MILLION-DOLLAR ONE. >> I THINK I HAVE 4 MILLION.
>> IS DISTRICT IS THE BEST. >> I THINK THAT IS WHAT I MEANT WHEN I SAID BEING AGGRESSIVE.
WHEN IT STARTS RATHER THAN WAITING. WE HAVE TO PUSH THE ISSUE WHETHER IT IS A LETTER EVERY TWO WEEKS OR EVERY MONTH, WHATEVER THE PROCESS SO THEY UNDERSTAND THIS IS AN PROCESS THERE WILL BE AN ACTION OF SOME KIND. I THINK IT IS WHAT TROY SAID BEFORE, YOU CAN SEND LETTERS AND E-MAILS UNTIL YOU SAY, THIS IS IT.
STOP OR I WILL SAY STOP. THEN YOU WILL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES AND THEN YOU GET
ACTION, I THINK THAT IS HUMAN NATURE. >> JUST TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS. SO, THE RECOMMENDATION WAS ABOUT THE FORECLOSURE.
THAT IS SOMETHING WE HAVE DONE FROM TIME TO TIME. THERE HASN'T BEEN A REGULAR INTERVAL WHERE WE DO IT ALL OF THE TIME. THE LAST TIME WE DID IT WAS A YEAR END A HALF AGO. THAT IS WHEN WE DID HOMEWORK AND WE SAID PROPERTY OWNERS LETTERS
[03:00:06]
OUT. THERE ARE MORE ON OUR LIST. HOMESTEAD IS ONE THING, IS IT NOT LISTED, DID THEY NOT FILE, IS THAT THERE HOME ADDRESS. THAT WILL BE FOR US TO FIGURE OUT FURTHER DOWN THE LINE. IF YOU SEE WITH YOUR NOTES THAT HEATHER DID, OUT OF THE 19 CASES WE HAVE ASSESSED FINES, FIVE OF THEM ARE HOMESTEAD EXEMPT BUT SEVEN OUT OF THE 14 REMAINING, THAT IS THEIR HOME ADDRESS THAT IS WHAT IS LISTED AS THEIR HOME ADDRESS.THEY COULD BE ONSET BUT THEY HAVE NOT DONE THE DOCUMENTATION. THERE IS A LENGTHY LIST.
IF IT HAS A HOMESTEAD OR IF IT DOESN'T, THE NEXT THING WE LOOK AT IS MORTGAGE AND PROPERTY VALUE. IF THE MORTGAGE IS $150,000 IN THE PLACE IS WORTH 12,000 WE WON'T GO AFTER IT. I WILL TELL YOU FROM THE EXERCISE WE DID A YEAR END A HALF AGO FROM THE THREE THAT WE SERVED, ONE OF THEM, WE COULD NOT SERVE COME IS THAT THE RIGHT WORD. WE COULD NOT SERVE THE PERSON THEY LIVED IN KENTUCKY UNLESS WE WENT TO KENTUCKY. WE HAVE TO DO THAT BY LAW. THE OTHER ONE ON THE LIST WAS A GENTLEMAN WHO DID NOT HAVE A HOMESTEAD. I BET YOU CAN GUESS WHERE IT IS.
'S 82 MILLION-DOLLAR LOAN. THE LAST TIME I LOOKED, HE WROTE US THIS LETTER AND SAID LOOK, I'M A VETERAN, I AM DISABLED, THIS IS ALL I HAVE. THAT WOULD LOOK REALLY GOOD ON
THE NEWS. SO WE LEFT THAT ONE ALONE. >> 'S NEIGHBORS HAVE TO PUT UP
WITH IT. >> WE DID THAT. MY POINT IS, WE DO HAVE A SYSTEM, WE WILL DO THAT MORE FREQUENTLY FROM HERE ON OUT. THAT IS SOMETHING WE ARE WAKING ON, THE FINAL LIST. YOU WILL REMEMBER THAT. IT WAS COLOR CODED.
WE ARE IN THE FINAL WORKSHOP THAT. EACH OF YOU WILL GET A COPY FOR YOUR INDIVIDUAL DISTRICTS AND IT WILL GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION. WE WILL HAVE SOMETHING AS A GUIDE TO ATTACK AND WE WILL LOOK AT THE EVALUATION PROCESS AND HOW WE PICK IT.
I WOULD SAY STAFF LIMITATIONS AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE A BOARD DECISION.
A POLICY DECISION IF YOU WANTED TO GET INTO REAL ESTATE. IF YOU DO THAT, WE WILL HAVE TO WORK WITH HIRING PEOPLE TO DO THEIR JOBS INCLUDING THE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
ALSO, I HAVE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF FUNDS IN THE ACCOUNT THAT WE CAN UTILIZE.
WE ARE TO GIVE IT A SHOT. >> HOW MUCH HAVE WE COLLECTED FROM THE PROGRAM SO FAR?
>> THERE IS $158,000 IN THE BUDGET LINE. >> THAT IS NOT FROM US EARNING IT. THERE IS A PORTION. THE ONE THING THAT IS PART OF OUR EVALUATION PROCESS IS WHAT THE PROPERTY IS WORTH. YOU GUYS KNOW WE DID THE JEFFERSON AVENUE AND THE EAGLES NEST ABOUT A YEAR AGO. WE DON'T OWN EITHER ONE OF THE PROPERTIES. ONE WAS SOLD UNTIL THE LIEN WAS SATISFIED.
THE OTHER ONE WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY NEITHER AS ANYONE ELSE.
WE HAD ANOTHER TWO DEMONSTRATE. WE LOOK AT THAT, A GUY WITH A SWIMMING POOL CAME IN ASKING FOR LIEN REDUCTION. WE JUST HAVE TO BE CAREFUL HOW WE SPEND OUR MONEY.
[03:05:01]
>> CAN WE CONDONE THESE THINGS? >> THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT CAN'T. >> THEN TAKE POSSESSION AND SELL
IT. >> I THINK THIS MAY BE SOMETHING THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT CAN DO.
WE HAVE TO LOOK AT CONSUMMATION. I THINK AS A HOMEOWNER WE WOULD HAVE A HARD TIME DOING THAT.
I HAD THAT ONE CASE, AND THE HOMEOWNER PASSED AWAY AND THE HOMEOWNER WAS NOT FOUND FOR SEVERAL WEEKS THERE WERE PEST ISSUES AND THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT SAID CALLED THE SHERIFFS OFFICE AND THEY SAID CALL THE COUNTY. THEN HE CALLED ME. AND THEN SHE CALLED ME.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT I'M TELLING YOU, I'M NOT GOING OUT THERE.
I FELT BAD FOR THE NEIGHBOR BECAUSE THEY HAD PEST ISSUES THAT AFFECTED THE GRANDCHILDREN PLAYING. I THINK EVENTUALLY WE GOT IT CLEANED UP.
>> THEY FOUND SOME ERRORS THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON. BUT IT IS A PROBLEM AS FAR AS WHAT DO YOU DO, WHO DO YOU CALL, IT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT OR THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IS EQUIPPED TO HANDLE THAT ON A REGULAR BASIS.
I MIGHT ADD, THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE WAS HERE EARLIER. YOU KNOW, IS JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IT CHANGES WHEN SOMEONE ELSE IS IN CHARGE. I WOULD SAY THE LAST YEAR WE HAVE WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND THEY WORKED CLOSELY WITH US.
WE HAD A CASE WHERE WE WERE ABLE TO GET SOME ITEMS REMOVED. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THEM AND THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH US TO HELP YOUR I WON'T SAY THAT THE BOOK IS NOT PASSED BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES I THINK PEOPLE DON'T GET A HOLD OF THE RIGHT PEOPLE.
TYPICALLY WHEN IT GETS BACK TO ME AND I CAN GET IT TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE, WE CAN GET RESOLUTION.
I THINK THAT IS GETTING BETTER. >> I WOULD STILL LIKE TO SAY WE DO THE EVALUATION WITHIN THREE MONTHS. IF YOU NEED MORE PEOPLE, TELL THE COUNTY MANAGER WITH E NEED -- WHAT YOU NEED. AND HE CAN TALK TO US. IF WE CAN CATCH THESE WITHIN THREE MONTHS AND MAKE A DECISION , BEFORE THE COMPLIANCE GETS OUT OF CONTROL, THAT IS A GREAT IDEA. THAT IS A GOOD WAY TO ADDRESS THIS.
>> CERTAINLY A WAY TO PROCEED. IT IS STILL SMALL BUT LARGER THAN WHEN MIKE PRICE DID IT BUT
SMALL IN TERMS OF THE CASES THAT DON'T GET RESOLVED. >> I HAVE A FOURTH RECOMMENDATION. THE CLERK HAS RECOMMENDED A POLICY AND A TIME.
WHERE ONE CAN PAY THEIR FINES AND GET THEIR LICENSE BACK WITHOUT AN ARREST WARRANT.
IF HER GOAL IS TO CLEAN UP THE PROPERTIES AND GET RID OF THE FUNNY MONEY PROBLEM.
I HAVE A 2 MILLION-DOLLAR LIEN AGAINST A CLIENTS HOME,. >> HE DID NOT RESULT IN WHAT WE
THOUGHT. >> WE TRIED THAT ALREADY? >> WE HAD AND AMNESTY PROCESS, IT ENDED UP ON DECEMBER 30 OF 2020. WHAT THEY DID, WE SENT OUT AMNESTY LETTERS TWICE. BASICALLY, WE GAVE STIPULATIONS. IF YOU GOT IT CLEANED UP WE WENT THROUGH AN APPLICATION PROCESS. IT WOULD BE REDUCED UP TO 90% WITH IT NOT BEEN OVER $1,500.
IF YOU HAD A 2 MILLION-DOLLAR LOAN YOU COULD GET OUT OF IT. OUT OF THAT, WE HAD ABOUT 15 RESPONSES. FIVE PEOPLE TAKE US UP ON THAT. WE PROBABLY BROUGHT IN NINE GRAND. BUT THEY WERE NOT AS RESPONSIVE AS I HOPE.
[03:10:06]
WE BORROW THAT FROM SEMINOLE COUNTY. I THINK IT WAS SEMINOLE COUNTY, BUT DON'T QUOTE ME. THEY ADD ABOUT THE SAME LEVEL OF SUCCESS.I WORKED WITH THERE CODE ENFORCEMENT TEAM. THEY WERE A LITTLE BETTER THAN
US. THEY CAME INTO COMPLIANCE. >> WE COULD SPLIT THE REHAB COSTS WITH THESE GUYS. SOMETHING WE TRIED TO WORK WITH, WE HAVEN'T FOUND THAT GROUP YET.
I THOUGHT, A LOT OF THESE CASES, A LOT OF THESE CASES ARE PEOPLE WHO JUST DON'T HAVE THE MEMES TO DO IT AND DON'T HAVE ANYONE TO HELP THEM. A LOT ARE ELDERLY.
WE HAD ONE WHO WANTED TO DO THE AMNESTY, WE'VE MET HER OUT THERE WE HAD TO HELP HER WITH PERMITTING ISSUES. AND SHE ALSO NEEDED, I DON'T KNOW SHE WAS 70.
SHE HAD A WALKER AND SHE SAID I'M SUPPOSED TO GET A MORE FROM A FRIEND.
THIS WAS LIKE DECEMBER 19. AND WE WERE DONE BY DECEMBER 30. SHE HAD A TIGHT WINDOW.
WE CAN'T JUST SAVE MAN WE ARE MOWING GUARDS CARAMEL YOUR YARD. THAT IS WHAT WAS COMING NEXT.
, SHE USED ONE CHURCH GROUP BEFORE. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO MOWED THE YARD. SHE JUST SAID I HAD THE YARD MOWED.
I DID NOT HAVE TO SEND MY PEOPLE OUT. >> THAT IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT. IF YOU GUYS THINK THIS IS SOMETHING, ALL OF THESE HOMES ARE WORTH 300 GRAND, A LOT OF THESE FOLKS ARE FOLKS THAT HAVE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.
THEY JUST HAVE ISSUES. THE ONE GENTLEMAN WE ARE WORKING WITH, THE MAGISTRATE HAS GIVEN THEM TIME. HE HAD A MESS. HE HAD DISABILITIES.
HE IS TRYING TO GET A MESS CLEANED UP. IF WE COULD REALLY FIND SOME NONPROFIT GROUPS, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL IN US HAVING A NUMBER AND SAYING, IF YOU HAVE THIS ISSUE, CAN WE GIVE SO-AND-SO YOUR NUMBER FOR HELP. IF THEY SAY YES, WE CAN SAY HERE IS A NONPROFIT THAT CAN MOW YOUR YARD. WE REALLY WORKED HARD AND THAT IS ONE OF THE LOCALS. I THINK THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE WILLING TO HELP BUT FINDING SOMEONE YOU CAN CALL IN A PINCH, THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF NONPROFIT GROUPS BUT IF YOU KNOW ONE, ANYONE IS OUT THERE LISTENING, I HAVE TRIED CERTAIN CHURCH GROUPS THAT DO NONPROIT TYPE STUFF BUT IT IS HARD TO GET SOMEONE CONSISTENT. I THINK IF WE HAD A GROUP LIKE THAT, I THINK WE COULD CHANNEL SOME OF THE CODE ENFORCEMENT MONEY IF WE HAD A GROUP AND IT WOULD MAKE IT EASIER FOR US. WE COULD WORK WITH THEM ON THE FUNDING.
>> I WAS ASKED TO DO THAT IF A SPECIFIC AREA. I THINK IT WOULD HELP US, AND I WAS GOING ASK IF YOU WOULD EXPLORE THIS, I KNOW THE STRATEGIES WERE WRITTEN IN THE '90S AND NO ONE WANTS TO GO BACK AND DO THAT AND I DON'T WANT TO CREATE MORE WORK.
IF WE COULD ADD THE MOBILE HOMES, A LOT OF THESE IN MY DISTRICT AND LEADS THE MOBILE
HOME SPIRIT. >> I HAVE ASKED THAT MORE THAN ONE SPIRIT I DON'T THINK THAT IS
OUR RESTRICTION. >> I KNOW THERE ARE COUNTIES THAT HAVE A STRATEGY.
THERE'S A WAY TO DO IT. >> THOUGH ONE DOCUMENT WHERE YOU ASKED ABOUT IT, WE UPDATE THOSE.
[03:15:04]
I WILL GET YOU THE INFORMATION FOR. >> I'LL BET THE CLEANUP PROCESS IS ONLY ONE THIRD PERIOD THE COUNTY WILL SUBSIDIZE THE CLEANUP WITHOUT BEING ON THE HOOK FOR DOING IT EVERY MONTH, TEARS YOU HAVE JUNK CARS IT'S A ONE-TIME FIX.
I WOULDN'T BE OPPOSED TO COMING UP WITH THE CREATIVE STRATEGY. HOW MUCH DO WE GIVE TO NONPROFITS. WE DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY ASK.
MAYBE THE COUNTY COULD SET UP AN OPERATION WHICH WE DO. WHAT WE REALLY DOING, WE ARE
HELPING OUT THE NEIGHBORS IN THAT CASE. >> ALSO THINK TOO, THERE IS A HUMANITARIAN THING. NO ONE WANTS TO LIVE, AND A BAD SITUATION WHERE SOMETHING HAPPENS AND IT DOMINOES. ALSO GNASH YOU, I HAVE HEARD STORIES THAT CODE ENFORCEMENT
USED TO HAVE TEN PEOPLE. DOUBT IT IS DOWN TO 2-3. >> THEREFORE.
I HIRED A THIRD OFFICER. BUT BACK IN THE HEYDAY THERE WERE 13.
>> IT SEEMS TO ME, WOULD IT BE MORE BENEFICIAL IF YOU COULD BE PROACTIVE.
RIGHT NOW YOU CAN ONLY BE REACTIVE. AND IT DEPENDS IF SOMEONE CALLS AND COMPLAIN. THAT'S ALL YOU CAN DO. I THINK YOU WILL FIND IT
INTERESTING. >> IF YOU FOLLOW THE HOUSE AND SENATE LEGISLATION, ON JULY 1 UNLESS THE GOVERNOR VETOES IT, THAT WILL BE STATEWIDE STARTING JULY 1.
>> HOW MANY CODE ENFORCEMENT CASES, DO WE HAVE THAT ARE RUNNING A BUSINESS OUT OF THEIR HOME THAT WILL CHANGE BECAUSE OF ANOTHER BILL THAT PASSED IN THE STATE?
>> HONESTLY I DON'T THINK THAT MANY. WE HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT SOME OF THE PARTICULARS OF THAT BILL. I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE A LOT.
>> LET ME FINISH UP ON MY RECOMMENDATION. IT IS SOMETHING WE TRIED BEFORE AND WE SHOULD AGAIN OR WE SHOULDN'T? DANCE IF IT WORKED FOR 4-5
PROPERTIES IS IT WORTH IT? >> I AM TALKING ABOUT AMNESTY. I THINK IF WE ADVERTISE AND SAY 2022, YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REDUCE YOUR LETTER TO THEM. WHATEVER WE DECIDE IT SHOULD BE.
>> I THINK WE COULD CROP THE LANGUAGE TO SAY THIS IS TO GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY AND MOVING
FORWARD WE WILL LOOK TO NOT BE ON THE OTHER LIST. >> I KNOW OF ONE THAT I HAVE.
SHE PUT EVERYTHING SHE HAD INTO BUYING THE PROPERTY, LITERALLY, BOUGHT A SHED AND WAS LIVING THERE, THE NEIGHBOR DID NOT WANT HER THERE TURNER AND TO CODE ENFORCEMENT.
NOW, SHE HAS NOWHERE TO GO, BUT SHE'S NOT ON THE PROPERTY. SHE CLEANED IT UP SO SHE IS NOT RACKING UP FINDS, BUT SHE HAS BACK FINES. IF THERE IS A WAY TO HAVE THE AMNESTY TO SAY, START OVER DO IT THE RIGHT WAY, SHE PROBABLY DIDN'T KNOW SHE COULD NOT DO THAT. DO YOU FOLLOW MY LOGIC, I THINK WE CAN HELP PEOPLE WHO HAVE THESE SMALL AMOUNTS OF LEAN SO THEY DON'T END UP IN THIS SITUATION.
>> AND LIKE EACH SAID WE CLOSED 85% OF OUR CASES WITHIN SIX MONTHS.
[03:20:02]
I DON'T THINK, I DON'T CARE WHAT WE DO I DON'T THINK WE WILL GET TO THEM ALL.THERE IS A SMALL PERCENTAGE THAT JUST DOES NOT CARE FOR SURE. >> I THINK BY GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS, IT WILL INCREASE THAT PERCENTAGE BUT WE NEED TO, LIKE TROY SAID, THE LIBRARY FUNDS WE HAD $1 MILLION WHICH WERE NOT $1 MILLION. I THINK WE NEED TO DO THE SAME THING, CLEAN UP THE BACKEND OF WHAT WE HAVE WITH THE NOTIFICATIONS IN TERMS OF THE FORECLOSURES AND LIENS. I THINK WE CAN ATTACK THAT MOVING FORWARD.
IN THE FUTURE, WHEN YOU HAVE A VETERAN YOU NEED TO GET IT TO THE VETERANS SERVICE OFFICES SO THEY CAN TAKE CARE OF THAT FOR THEM. THERE ARE WAYS TO DO THAT, I THINK WE JUST HAVE TO BE MORE CREATIVE AND HAVE THAT FRAME OF MIND.
>> SOMETIMES IT'S A STRUGGLE. WE HAVE A CASE WHERE WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH PUBLIC SAFETY ON. SOME ELDERLY INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE LIVING IN SOMETHING THAT'S NOT LIVABLE. I TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, THEY DON'T WANT TO LEAVE.
THEY DON'T TO GET THAT HELP. IF THERE ARE NEIGHBORS THAT ARE THERE, MAYBE SOMEONE IS JUST
[COUNTY MANAGER]
EMBARRASSED OR TOO PROUD TO CALL. AND NEIGHBOR CAN HELP THEM OUT AND CALL THE NUMBER. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WERE DOING AND HOW WE'RE SETTING UP IT IS DYNAMIC. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE TAKING CARE OF EVERYONE ANDDOING THE RIGHT THING. >> I REALLY WANT TO COMMEND HEATHER AND JOHN.
WE ARE COMING OUT OF THE PANDEMIC AND TRANSITIONING INTO A NEW NORMAL.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, EVERYTHING THEY HAVE DONE, REALLY TO GET THAT WITH THEM, THEIR STAFF AND THE VOLUNTEERS AND THE NURSES, THE FIRST RESPONDERS, EVERYONE OUT THERE.
TROY AND HIS TEAM. WE ARE COMING AND WE ARE TRANSITIONING.
I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON NOT ONLY IN OUR COUNTRY BUT OUR STATE AND COUNTY.
AND LOOKING AT THE TRAFFIC OUT THERE AND THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GET OUT AND ABOUT.
I WANTED TO COMMEND THEM AND TELL THEM JOB WELL DONE. WE ARE HEADED INTO HURRICANE SEASON. WE NEED TO BE PREPARED. JOHN DOES NOT WANT TO SAY ANYTHING BUT THERE ARE SOMETHINGS GOING OUT THERE. ONE THAT I NOTICED EARLY THIS MORNING BUT WE NEED TO BE PREPARED AS A COMMUNITY. THAT GOES HAND-IN-HAND WITH YARD WASTE PICKUP I ALSO WANT TO COMMEND CHARLIE ON HIS BRIEF, TAKING A LOOK AT AN ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION. YOU COULD ALMOST CALL IT DIRTY WHEN IT COMES TO RECYCLING.
I CHALLENGED HIM TO THINK OUT-OF-THE-BOX. ONE WAY OR ONE STANDARD DOES NOT FIT ALL. WE NEED TO THINK OF THIS DIFFERENTLY.
WE NEED TO BE PREPARED. LET'S TALK ABOUT BEING PREPARED WHEN IT COMES TO VEHICLES.
THE CHIEF CAME TO ME ALONG WITH TROY AND CONCERNS WITH ORDERING VEHICLES.
YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THESE RESOURCE ITEMS. VEHICLES AND THINGS AT A CONSTRAINT IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN THAT IS BREAKING DOWN OR STRESSED, ALONG WITH COMMODITIES. PLASTICS ALONE HAVE TRIPLED AND THEIR PRICE, JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA. I NOTE THAT BECAUSE MY SON DEALS WITH PLASTIC.
[03:25:01]
WHEN IT COMES TO VEHICLES I AM CONCERNED ABOUT EMERGENCY VEHICLES, EVEN FLEET VEHICLES AND ORDERING THEM. WITH REGARDS TO CHIPS OUT THERE, ALL OF THE THINGS THAT PROVIDE CONSTRAINTS FOR THE RESEARCH ESPECIALLY THE VEHICLES. I WOULD GIVE THE BOARD A HEADS UP THAT I MAY BE COMING FOR A LETTER OF INTENT. THAT IS SO WE CAN GET OUR NAMES ON THE LIST SO WE CAN ORDER ENGINES AND THOSE THINGS IN IT FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR.THIS IS SO WE CAN GO OUT THERE AND GIVE THEM THE LETTER OF INTENT.
THAT GOES HAND-IN-HAND WITH PURCHASING TRUCKS. GARBAGE TRUCKS ARE NOT CHEAP.
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. THE SOONER WE GET THIS OUT THERE AND GET IT ANALYZED BY A GROUP TO LOOK AT IT SO WE CAN GET MOVING ON THIS.
IT WILL NOT TAKE A FLICK OF THE SWITCH TO GET 40 GARBAGE TRUCKS WITHIN THE COUNTY.
AND FOR COMMISSIONER BOLA, WE WILL LOOK AT EVERYTHING ON THE TABLE.
I CHALLENGED CHARLIE TO LOOK AT THE RECYCLING. IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND, WE DON'T WANT TO BE CHARGED FOR SINGLE STREAM RECYCLING. THESE COUNTIES BEING CHARGED, WHERE WE ARE NOT BEING CHARGED, AND WE ARE GETTING $12,000 PER MONTH APPROXIMATELY.
IF WE WENT TO A TRY STREAM OR QUAD STREAM, IT'S SOMETHING I ASKED CHARLIE TO TAKE A LOOK AT.
AND HOW TO PRODUCE THE WASTES. SO, THE FINAL THING, I HAVE ONE OF THE THING.
REGIONAL PARKS. AN UPDATE ON THE REGIONAL PARK. AS YOU KNOW WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT LOTS OF PARCELS AND ACREAGE OUT THERE. WE HAVE HAD A GROUP COME TO US, OVER 150 ACRES AND A PLAN TO DESIGN AND BUILD THE PARK. WERE COMING UNDER THE GUN WITH REGARDS TO THE PARK WE HAVE IT EXTENDED THROUGH THE END OF AUGUST.
WE HAVE TO MOVE QUICKLY. WE WILL GO OUT BECAUSE OF THIS PROPOSAL THAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED WE WILL GO OUT ON THURSDAY WITH NOTICE THAT WE RECEIVED THE PROPOSALS OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE PUBLIC IS AWARE AND THEY MAY OFFER THE SAME DEAL TO US. THE GRANT INFORMATION IS READILY AVAILABLE. THE BOTTOM LINE, IT IS MULTI USE FIELDS.
IT IS A RESTROOM FACILITY, PARKING LOT AREA, AND OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT CAN GO ON THERE LIKE A WALKING TRAIL AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. THAT WILL COME OUT AND ANNOUNCED AND THE SPECIFICS WILL BE IN THE RFP. IN THE BOARDS TO FOLLOW, I WILL PRESENT THAT. AND THE DETAILS OF THE PROPOSALS THAT HAVE BEEN PRESENTED ALONG WITH THE ONE THAT WAS PRESENTED LAST WEEK. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT. AND PENDING ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, THAT IS ALL I HAVE.
>> ANYTHING FOR COUNTY MANAGER? >> MAY BE YOU COULD GIVE US A THUMBNAIL ON YOUR EXPERIENCE AT
THE CONFERENCE. >> I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY AND THANK YOU TO THE BOARD, I WENT DOWN TO THE FLORIDA CITY COUNCILS ASSOCIATION'S ANNUAL CONFERENCE.
OBVIOUSLY, THESE CONFERENCES ARE STARTING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. OF GREAT INFORMATION.
WE TALKED ABOUT TOPICS LIKE HAVING A STRATEGIC PLAN AND HOW TO CONNECT THE PLAN TO KPIS.
AND OBJECTIVES AND GOALS FOR THE COMMUNITY. WE HAVE THOSE IN OUR BUDGET.
I WANT TO BREAK THOSE OUT AND COME UP WITH A PLAN. WE TALKED ABOUT THE 15-DOLLAR MINIMUM WAGE. THAT WAS A REALLY INTERESTING CONVERSATION TALKING ABOUT THE SALARY COMPRESSION AND THOSE TYPE OF THINGS. YOU GAVE ME NEW IDEAS TO TALK TO JENNIFER AND WAYS WE CAN ADDRESS THEM. NOTHING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT RIGHT NOW. YOU HAVE THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. I DO THINK, THERE ARE OTHER FACTORS AND THINGS WE ARE SEEING WITH REGARDS TO UNEMPLOYMENT AND MAKING THAT HAPPEN SOONER THAN
LATER. >> WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT CYBERSECURITY.
[03:30:09]
WE TALKED ABOUT THAT. AND ALL THOSE, I CHALLENGED NICK TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.IT DOESN'T JUST APPLY TO GOVERNMENT SERVICES. IT APPLIES TO EVERYONE WHO HAS A CELL PHONE OR COMPUTER AND HOME. THESE RAN SOMEWHERES AND THESE ATTACKS ARE OUT THERE.
WE ALL NEED TO BE PREPARED. IT IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS TO WORK TOGETHER ON.
IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT WITH ALL OF THE ACTORS THAT ARE OUT THERE.
LOTS OF OTHER TOPICS. THE TOWN MANAGER OF ORANGE PARK WAS THERE.
IT WAS GOOD TO SEE MIKE WAS THERE. IT WAS REALLY GOOD REPRESENTATION. LOTS OF GREAT INFORMATION THAT WAS SHARED.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> ANYTHING ELSE. I WILL MENTION, THE SUPPLY CHAIN SEEMS TO BE UNUSUAL IN TERMS OF WHAT IS DISAPPEARING FOR THE PAST WEEK OR SO I'VE BEEN TRACKING A SHORTAGE OF ICE AT CONVENIENCE STORES. BACK TO EYES.
PARTICULARLY HIT HARD ON FRIDAY ON BOATERS SKIPPED DAY. IT WAS A BIG PROBLEM OVER THE ICE SHORTAGE. NOTHING WAS COOL BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ICE.
I STOPPED AT THE LOCAL CONVENIENCE STORE THIS MORNING THERE WERE GUYS WORKING LOOKING TO FILL THEIR COOLERS WITH ICE AND THE GENTLEMAN SAID NO ICE JUST BE AWARE.
>> THE ICEBREAKERS BROKE. >> AND YOU CAN'T GET THE PART FOR IT.
[LETTERS FOR ACTION]
>> LETTERS FOR ACTION, NUMBER 21 REAPPOINTMENTS TO THE REAPPOINTMENTS OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMITTEE. THEY INVOLVE REHABBED AND WHEELED THE THE COMMISSON WILL CONTINUE REPRESENTING ON THAT COMMITTEE. THAT IS JUST SOMETHING, WE HAVE
TO APPROVE WITH A VOTE. LET'S GET A MOTION. >> CAN ASK A QUESTION.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR ADVERTISING FOR THESE? ONE OF THE APPLICATIONS WAS DATED IN FEBRUARY, I JUST WONDER. I'VE HAD SOME PEOPLE ASKED ME HOW DID THEY GET ON THESE COMMITTEES, AND THIS WITH ALL OF THEM REAPPLYING, ONE HAS BEEN
THERE FOR 30 YEARS. I DON'T KNOW. >> THE PROCESS THAT WE PUT IT ON THE WEBSITE HAS TO BE POSTED FOR 30 DAYS. PEOPLE ON THE BOARD GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE REAPPOINTMENT. THAT WAS JUST ONE SHE SUBMITTED.
>> SHE MAY HAVE KNOWN THAT HER TERM WAS COMING UP. THEY KNOW AHEAD OF TIME.
THEY LET THEM KNOW WELL AHEAD OF TIME. >> HOW DOES THIS WHEN WORK.
THIS ONE WAS NOT 30 DAYS. OR DID THAT PERSON RESIGN? >> THAT WAS ON THE WEBSITE FOR 30 DAYS. IT WAS ONLY TWO WEEKS ON THE AGENDA.
>> WHEN I KNEW THE PERSON RESIGN UNTIL WE GOT THE NEXT ONE, WAS ONE MEETING.
>> THEY IMMEDIATELY SENT TO RESET THE SO SHE ALREADY STARTED THAT BEFORE THE RESIGNATION CAME. THEY HAD ALREADY STARTED THE APPLICATION PROCESS.
>> I HAVE HAD SOME COMPLAINTS FROM THE PUBLIC ABOUT THAT. THE SAME PEOPLE ARE POPPING UP ON BOARDS AND PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY ARE OUT THERE, WHEN THEY SEE IT ON OUR AGENDA THAT IS WHEN THEY NOTE SOMEONE RESIGN. WE MAY RECONSIDER THE PROCESS.
MAYBE I AM NOT POLITICALLY SAVVY, BUT I WILL SAY, I HAVE HAD PEOPLE SAY, I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A RESIGNATION ON THE BOARD I WOULD HAVE BEEN INTERESTED IN APPLYING AND THE
NEXT MEETING YOU APPROVED THE PERSON. >> IF YOU CAN HAVE THEM REACH OUT. THEY HAVE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AS WELL.
AND THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING TO HAVE THOSE FILLED. >> IT DOES NOT SEEM IT SEEMS DISINGENUOUS THAT WE DON'T ADVERTISE AND WE ARE COUNTING THE 30 DAYS.
WE DON'T ADVERTISE THERE IS AN OPENING. SOMEBODY HAS TO LOOK AT THE
WEBSITE. I THINK THAT IS DISINGENUOUS. >> THEY REQUESTED IT AND WE FOLLOW. WE COULD HAVE DEFERRED THAT, JUST LET US KNOW THE NEXT TIME
[03:35:05]
WE CAN KEEP IT OPEN OR DEFER IT. >> COUNCILMAN CAN, THEY CAN JUST FILL OUT AN APPLICATION AND IT
WILL BE ON FILE. >> I AM WELL AWARE AND I KNEW BRINGING IT OUT, WHEN SOMEONE
ASKED THE QUESTION -- >> HAVE THEM FILL OUT AN APPLICATION.
>> I WILL MOVE APPROVAL ON THESE. >> DO WE HAVE A SECOND? ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ANY OPALS.
[LETTERS OF DOCUMENTATION]
THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0. >> LETTERS OF DOCUMENTATION. THE FIRST ONE IS FROM THE CLAY COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT A REQUEST, HOW WOULD YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT ONE?
>> I HAVE IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. THE SUPERINTENDENT SENT US A LETTER, AND ONCE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT TO UPDATE ITS OUTDATED DISPATCHING SYSTEM. HE IS CURRENTLY PREPARING TO IMPLEMENT A NEW SYSTEM FOR BUS TRANSPORTATION. THE DISTRICT NEEDS APPROVAL TO SHEER USAGE OF SOME OF ITS EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE. THAT IS WHAT IS ON THE TABLE. CHIEF, YOUR SAY SOMETHING.
THERE ARE THINGS YOU AND THE BOARD NEED TO BEWARE OF. OF VIEW OF THE MEMBERS ARE AWARE. YOU SPENT MONEY ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF A RADIO SYSTEM.
OBVIOUSLY UP UNTIL THIS POINT IT HAS BEEN USED BY THE RESCUE DEPARTMENTS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. LOOKING AT THIS REQUEST AS A CAME IN, MY RECOMMENDATION WAS, LET'S TAKE A HARD LOOK AT IT. WE BELIEVE IT HAS TO HAVE SOME FORM CRAFTED THAT WE CAN THOUGHTFULLY BRING BACK TO THE BOARD AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION ON HOW YOU WISH TO APPROACH IT.
THIS HAS AGENCIES ON IT. THIS IS FOR MAINTENANCE AND CONTINUANCE OF THE SERVICE.
THIS CAN BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. YOU MAY ONLY CHOOSE TO CHARGE FOR CONTINUAL MAINTENANCE. THE SYSTEM WAS BUILT TO EXPAND OUT TO THE FUTURE.
I DON'T THINK IT IS A CONCERN FOR CAPACITY IT IS OUT THE BOARD WISHES TO APPROACH IT.
AT THE BEGINNING OF THE HOPEFULLY, NOT TOO FAR INTO JULY WE CAN COME BACK WITH A RECOMMENDATION THAT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE COUNTY ATTORNEYS AND WE CAN BRING IT TO
YOU FOR CONSIDERATION. >> THEY AREN'T LOOKING TO BUY 240 MOBILE RADIOS.
>> THEY BROUGHT THEIR OWN UNITS. PRIOR TO THAT, YOU PURCHASE ALL OF THE PROVIDER UNITS.
THEY CHOSE TO DO THAT WE WOULD SEE HOW YOU CAN I DON'T HAVE MY PAPERWORK FOR THE TOWN.
I THOUGHT THERE WAS A CHARGE WITH THE TOWN FOR RADIAL SERVICES.
>> THERE IS NOT A CHARGE FOR ANY USER. THE BOARD CHOSE TO AT THE TIME PURCHASE THE RADIO SYSTEM WITH THE SALES TAX FUNDS WHAT WAS DONE BEFORE, AS WE WERE CONSIDERING HOW TO APPLY THE COST, THE PREVIOUS COUNTY AUDITOR AND HEATHER CONTINUED
[03:40:09]
THE PRACTICE AND EVALUATE WHAT THE COST IMPLICATION WAS. SOMEONE'S APPLIED INTO WHAT THEY THOUGHT A CHARGE SHOULD BE IF YOU WERE GOING TO CHARGE THEM AND CONSIDER COSTS.I DON'T WANT TO MIX APPLES AND ORANGES. >> WE BASICALLY ARE CHARGING
THEM THE RADIO SYSTEM. >> I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT'S APPROPRIATE TO DO THIS.
MY INCLINATION IS, THOSE BOTH UNITS ON THE SYSTEM THAT CAN'T TALK.
WE SHOULD POINT OUT THAT STATUTORILY, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND EVERYONE IS AWARE OF THIS, IS REQUIRED TO DO THIS THEY HAVE BEEN GREAT PARTNERS FOR PEOPLE. IT MAKES SENSE, TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT. I THINK THE ISSUE IS HOW YOU WANT TO CHARGE EVOLVE.
>> EACH RADIO THAT THEY UTILIZE HAVE TO BE ACCOMPANIED WITH THE LICENSE.
ONE THING WITH THE SYSTEM, YOU CAN THINK OF IT, IS NOT ALL THAT DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE SEE WITH OUR SELF PHONES. IF WE ADD MORE UNITS DO WE HAVE TO HAVE A LICENSE.
THE BOARD AT THE TIME THEY PURCHASED THE SYSTEM. SO, WHILE WE STILL HAVE CAPACITY AND THAT THERE IS A FINITE NUMBER. I DON'T THINK I RECOMMEND YOU TO DO THAT ANTI- UP THOSE ADDITIONAL LICENSES. I THINK IT MAKES SENSE FOR A NEW USER TO BUY IT AND THAT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE ADDED. THAT COULD BE PART OF IT AS WE
MOVE FORWARD. >> I WAS GOING TO ASK THE SAME THING.
THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE SYSTEM, YOU HAVE TO BUY A LICENSE TO PUT THE RADIAL ZONE.
>> YOU HAVE CONSONANT WE HAVE SEEN IT. WE HAVE HAD SOME DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THIS. I'LL READ CHOOSE BUILD WHAT WE NEED NOW.
AND MAINTAIN FOR THE FUTURE. THIS IS A VALID THING THAT IF I WAS IN YOUR POSITION I WOULD
HAVE TO HAVE A PLAN FOR THAT. >> HOW CLOSE ARE WE TO WE ARE NOWHERE CLOSE TO IT AT THIS POINT. AS WE ALL KNOW, THE COUNTY IS EXPANDING AT A RAPID PACE.
YOU WILL ADD MORE AND MORE USERS TO THE SYSTEM AND REMEMBER THIS WAS A 20 YEAR PLAN WHEN WE CHOSE TO APPROACH IT. I THINK WE ARE IN THE POSITION NOWTO HANDLE THAT GROWTH, BUT I WOULDN'T WANT TO GET TO A POINT WHERE WE EXPAND THE AUDIT. THE GOOD NEWS IS, AND WE KNEW IT, WE CHOSE ONE METHODOLOGY FOR IMPLEMENTATION. TECHNOLOGY IS CHANGING, WHEN WE GO TO A NEW METHOD OF CHANNEL FREQUENCY WE WILL EXPAND OUR CAPACITY.
I THINK MOTOROLA WHO PARTNERED WITH US TO DO IT. I'M NOT CONCERNED, LOOKING AT
THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE AND BEYOND THAT TO EXCEED THAT. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
YOU WILL COME BACK WITH THAT. >> VERY GOOD. >> THAT TAKES CARE OF.
>> WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THOSE MINUTES. WE WILL MOVE TO PUBLIC COMMENTS,
[03:45:04]
THE SECOND PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION. IS ANYONE YOUR FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. I SEE NONE WE WILL BRING IT BACK TO FINISH UP WITH COMMISSIONER[COMMISSIONERS' COMMENTS]
COMMENTS. COMMISSIONER. >> I WILL SAY WE HAD A VERY NICE
RIBBON-CUTTING. >> SEVERAL DIGNITARIES HAD COMMENTS.
WE GOT TO SPEND THE DAY AS THE DEPUTY WITH THE CLAY COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE.
DON'T WORRY. I AM TOO MUCH OF A SCARY CAT I GOT STABBED AND I SHOT SOMEONE THAT I SHOULD KNOW. BUT ANYWAY, IT WAS A VERY ENJOYABLE DAY.
I ENCOURAGE YOU, BUT SURE IS TAKING A DIFFERENT APPROACH I ENCOURAGE ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED TO REACH OUT TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND ANY OF YOU, IT WAS WELL WORTH THE TIME IT
WAS A VERY EXHAUSTING DAY. >> IT SOUNDED LIKE A BOARD MEETING.
>> MY FAVORITE PART WAS THE CANINE SPIRIT I APPRECIATE THAT WE APPRECIATE THE UPDATE.
>> COMMISSIONER? >> AND ALBERT DISTRICT WE HAVE A GIRL WHO WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER. I KNOW THE FAMILY. WE DID A FUNDRAISER.
THIS WILL BE THE PICKUP TIME. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED I WOULD LOVE THE COMMUNITY TO GET INVOLVED WE HAD SOME DONATIONS. THE FAMILY IS DEVASTATED AND THEY HAVE OTHER SMALL CHILDREN.
MR. G IS ALSO INVOLVED IN COOKING AND A COUPLE OF OTHER BARBECUES.
>> UNFORTUNATELY THIS MEETING WENT LONG AND I HAVE LIST OF THINGS TO TALK ABOUT.
TONIGHT WE SPOKE ON SUICIDE PREVENTION AND IT FOCUSED ON THE MILITARY AND I WANT EVERYONE TO BE A WHERE WE ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FIRE WATCH PROGRAM. YOU CAN TALK ABOUT WEBSITES BUT THAT IS THE LAST THING, SOMEONE AT RISK WILL LOOK AT. THEY REALLY HOPE A HUMAN BEING WILL INTERVENE. THE STANDARD PROGRAM GIVES YOU THE TOOLS TO IDENTIFY AND TO DIAPERED THAT TROUBLED INDIVIDUAL. IT IS NOT JUST MILITARY.
