COULD USE GREAT HOMES FOR THOSE ANIMALS. 
          NOW IF I COULD GET THE BOARD TO MEET ME DOWN FRONT WE WILL TALK ABOUT NATIONAL MOSQUITO CONTROL WEEK. 
          >> BASED ON THE RAIN AND STANDING WATER I THINK THE MOSQUITOES WILL BE COMING OUT IN FULL FORCE.

          >> WHEREAS MOSQUITO BORNE DISEASES INCLUDING MALARIA, WEST NILE VIRUS AND OTHER DISEASES HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN A SOURCE OF HUMAN AND ANIMAL SUFFERINGS AND ILLNESS AND DEATH. 
          WHEREAS AN EXCESSIVE NUMBER OF MOSQUITOES DIMINISHES OUR ENJOYMENT OF THE OUTDOORS, PUBLIC PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS, HINDERS WORK AND DECREASES PRODUCTIVITY AND DECREASE PROPERTY VALUES.

          [PUBLIC COMMENTS]
WE WILL MOVE ON TO PUBLIC COMMENTS. 
          ONCE AGAIN, WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF CARDS AND WE WILL BE CALLING THEM IN THE ORDER WE RECEIVED THEM. 
          I APOLOGIZE AHEAD OF TIME IF I MISS PRONOUNCE YOUR NAME. 
          JUST GET IT STRAIGHT ON THE RECORD AND WE WILL FIX IT THE NEXT TIME. FIRST UP IS JEFF GABER. 
          JEFF, COME ON DOWN IF YOU WILL. ON DECK IS JOHN C. 
          >> MY NAME IS JEFF I RESIDE AT 118 WESLEY ROAD IN LAKE ASBURY. 
          MOST OF THE PEOPLE HERE ARE YOUR PEOPLE. 
          IF YOU LIVE THERE, RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          OUR CONCERN TODAY IS A PIECE OF PROPERTY ON THE LAKE THAT IS OWNED BY A TEAM EFFORT AND CONSIDERING THE POSSIBILITY OF SELLING AND RESULTANT -- RIGHT RESULTING IN BECOMING AN AREA OF CONDOMINIUM SPIRIT LAKE ASBURY BEEN IN EXISTENCE FOR 60 YEARS. 
          YOU DON'T HAVE TO FREQUENT THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          IT IS A LOW BURDEN. SHOULD THIS COME UP AS A VOTE OR REZONING I URGE YOU TO LEAVE IT THE WAY IT IS. 
          RIGHT NOW IT IS A GROUP AND THEY TEACH THE YOUTH TO GO OUT AND HELP THE COMMUNITY AS A SUMMER CAMP. 
          LAST YEAR WAS ROUGH THEY DID NOT HAVE CAMP BECAUSE OF THE COVID SITUATION. THE IMPACT THAT HAS IS WONDERFUL IN THE COMMUNITY. THE IMPACT IT WOULD HAVE ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE, CROSSING THE DAMS WITH THE EQUIPMENT AND BUILDINGS, WILL BE CATASTROPHIC. PLEASE TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. I THINK I HAVE OTHER PEOPLE WHO 
          FEEL THE SAME WAY. >> SO, JOHN CAN YOU,. 
          >> I HAVE BEEN LIVING IN LAKE ASBURY FOR 31 YEARS. 
          WHEN WE PURCHASED THE HOME, YOU HAD TO HAVE 1 ACRE OF LAND FOR SINGLE-FAMILY HOME. WE ARE NOW TALKING ABOUT 80 HOMES ALONG WITH THE TRAFFIC ON THE DUMP TRUCKS SPIRIT THE DAMAGE WOULD CAUSE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DUMP TRUCKS GOING ACROSS AS WELL AS EACH ONE OF THE HOMES OUT THERE, WE ARE HOOKED TO A CITY WATER SUPPLY. WE HAVE OUR OWN SEPTIC SYSTEMS. WE WILL PUT IT ON THAT SMALL PARCEL OF LAND AND THAT WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC AND HAVE SOME EFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT. 
          IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON BUILDING A WASTEWATER PLANT IN THE AREA, WHAT WOULD BE DUE TO THE AREA. WE DO HAVE A LOT OF CONCERNS. 
          THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, JOHN. 
          [00:15:02]
          >> COMING UP NEXT IS AN. AND YOU WILL CORRECT ME ON THE PRONUNCIATION OF YOUR LAST DAY. AND MICHAEL, YOU ARE ON DECK. 
          >> BY LAST NAME IS TURNER, AND TURNER. 
          >> I'M HERE ABOUT THE SAME THING ABOUT TURNING THE AREA INTO A DEVELOPMENT. IT WILL HURT LAKE ASBURY. 
          IT WILL HURT THE DAMS. THEY ARE ALREADY IN PERIL AND THE STATE, WILL NOT ALLOW THE DAMS TO BE REBUILT. 
          I HAVE BEEN OUT THERE 47 AND A HALF YEARS. 
          THIS WOULD BE UNCONSCIONABLE WITH THE TANKS AND TRUCKS GOING ACROSS THE DAMS. WE NEED YOUR CONSIDERATION AND YOUR PROTECTION. PLEASE VOTE NO. 
          DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN. IT WILL BE CATASTROPHIC, JUST LIKE THE TWO GENTLEMEN SAID. IT WOULD BE TO THE BENEFIT OF 
          ALL OF US IF THEY DON'T DO THIS. >> MR. SYKES IF YOU ARE AVAILABLE, YOU ARE OF NEXT. LISA TURNER AFTER MICHAEL. 
          >> GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS MICHAEL SYKES I LIVE IN ORANGE PARK 2047 ECHELON COURT. 
          HAVE BEEN HERE FOR 25 YEARS. I LOVE CLAY COUNTY. 
          >> I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS, THIS IS DISTRICT THREE. WE HAVE A PROBLEM, WE HAVE RIGHT OF WAY PARKING. WE HAVE TRASH GOING EVERYWHERE AND IT IS A BIG PROBLEM. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I'VE CALLED. WE NEED TO SEE IF WE CAN GET THE CONTRACT FIXED AND WE NEED TO GET THE STUFF PICKED UP AND PUT 
          AWAY. >> MR. SYKES, THANK YOU. 
          WE AGREE WITH YOU WE HAVE BEEN TAKING STEPS TO FIX THAT. 
          CHARLIE IS OUR DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES. 
          HE WILL GIVE US AN UPDATE AND WE WILL MAKE SURE YOUR ADDRESS GETS 
          PASSED ALONG. >> THANK YOU. 
          GOOD EVENING. WE HAVE QUITE A PROBLEM AND THIS EXCEEDS THE BOUNDARIES OF EVERYTHING. 
          THE COUNTRY HAS A SHORTFALL OF LABOR. 
          WASTE MANAGEMENT HAD TO PAY A BONUS TO EACH EMPLOYEE THAT CAME IN MORE THEY WEAKEN. PEOPLE FLAT OUT DON'T COME TO WORK. NOT JUST IN OUR COUNTY, EVERYWHERE. WE HAVE TAKEN ACTION WE HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH GREEN COVE SPRINGS TO BORROW THEIR TRUCKS ON THE DAYS WE NORMALLY DON'T SERVE AN AREA. 
          THAT IS THREE DAYS PER WEEK. WE DID MAKE IT A PRIORITY FOR THE GARBAGE TO BE OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY AND RECYCLING NUMBER TWO AND YARD WASTE NUMBER THREE. I'M PROUD TO TELL YOU WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HOLD THE GROUND ON GARBAGE AND RECYCLING. 
          YARD WASTE IS FALLING BACK AND CONTINUING. 
          WE ARE EXPLORING NEW OPTIONS. WE HAVE A TRUCK AVAILABLE AT ALL TIME SO WE CAN HIT AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN MISSED. 
          RIGHT NOW QUITE HONESTLY WE ARE ONE WEEK BEHIND AND YARD WASTE. 
          >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHARLIE. >> CAN YOU COMMENT ABOUT THE GENTLEMAN ASKING ABOUT THE OTHER COUNTRY. 
          >> WASTE MANAGEMENT ACQUIRED THE STOCK OF DISPOSAL LAST OCTOBER. 
          [00:20:11]
IT GIVES THEM ACQUISITION OF THE CONTRACTS AND ASSETS AND RESOURCES. THE PROBLEM IS NOT WASTE MANAGEMENT. THEIR CONTRACT IS THE SAME AS BEFORE. WE HAVE TWO OPTIONS, NUMBER ONE WE CAN CITE THEM AS A HABITUAL OFFENDER AND WARNED THEM THEY HAVE 30 DAYS TO FIX IT OR WE CAN GIVE THEM 30 DAYS NOTICE AND FIRED THEM. IF WE DID THAT, THERE'S NOT A COMPANY IN AMERICA THAT HAS 45 TRUCKS THAT CAN COME OVER YOUR AND TAKE CARE OF US WITH NO NOTICE. 
          WE ARE LIMITED IN OUR RESOURCES. WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IN OUR EXISTING CONTRACT BUT WE WILL WHEN WE RENEW THE CONTRACT. TO BE QUITE HONEST WITH YOU AT THIS POINT, I'M NOT SURE IT WILL HAVE THAT MUCH EFFECT IT'S BEATING A DEAD HORSE. THEY ARE RUNNING OUT OF ( INDISCERNIBLE ) EVERY WEEK. THE RENT THE MANAGEMENT IS WRITING -- THE MANAGEMENT IS WRITING ON THE BACK OF TRUCKS. 
          THIS IS AN ENFORCEMENT -- THIS IS SOMETHING WE HAVE NOT SEEN IN 
          27 YEARS. >> THE TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR THE CITIZENS TO CALL, WE CARE ABOUT OUR RESIDENTS. 
          THE NUMBER OF WASTE MANAGEMENT THEY MAKE IT A 1800 NUMBER OR SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT KNOW THEM PERSONALLY. 
          PUT THE NUMBER AROUND AND EVERYONE IN HERE. 
          >> I DO NOT HAVE IT WITH ME. >> 
          >> IF YOU HAVE YOU HAVE YARD WASTE OUT THERE WE ASK THAT YOU CAN LEAVE IT THERE. WE WILL USE THE SAME ROTATION, EVEN IF IT IS THURSDAY, WE DON'T GO TO FRIDAY. 
          WE WILL GO THROUGH THE CYCLE TO GET EVERYONE CLEANED UP AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. NORMALLY WE WOULD HAVE A TRUCKS ART -- OUT THERE. TODAY WE HAD TWO OF THEM. 
          THAT IS ALL WE COULD MUSTER. THE UNDERSTANDING IS MY PRIMARY COMMITMENT IS TO GET THE GARBAGE AND RECYCLING OUT B WON'T HAVE IT BECOME A SAFE AND HEALTH ISSUE. 
          >> YOU BRING UP AN INTERESTING QUESTION BECAUSE, WE HEAR YOU TELL US, AND I DON'T DOUBT YOU, BUT YOU'LL BE FOUR DAYS BEHIND OR A WEEK BEHIND BUT WE WILL FREQUENTLY HEAR FROM RESIDENTS, ALBEIT ONE OR TWO BUT MAYBE FIVE OR SIX THAT SAY THIS HAS BEEN THREE WEEKS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW NUMBER ONE, THAT A RESIDENT HAS GONE THREE WEEKS, LEAVING IT OUT ON THEIR CURVE WHICH SKILLS THEIR GRASS, IT IS AN EYESORE AND IT GETS DRUG ALL OVER THE STREETS. THAT IS ONE QUESTION THAT I FIGURED OUT. MY SECOND QUESTION IS, IS WASTE MANAGEMENT USING, WHO WOULD NORMALLY COME TO CLAY COUNTY TO SERVICE OTHER ACCOUNTS AND OTHER COUNTIES, SO THAT EVERYONE IS 
          BEING KEPT AT BAY. >> THE FIRST ANSWER IS THE FIRST MEETING WE HAD, THEY'D DIVULGE WAS NOT ONLY ARE THEY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BOROUGHS THEY'RE GOING THROUGH PROBLEMS WITH THEIR DRIVERS. THERE ARE A LOT OF NEW PEOPLE. 
          IF YOU HAVE BEEN IN THE TRUCK DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR THEM TO MISS A SEGMENT OF AN AREA IF THEY ARE NEW TO THE AREA. OUR COMMITMENT IS, WHEN WE ARE NOTIFIED BY A CUSTOMER WE MAKE SURE WE SEND OUR DEPUTY DIRECTOR OUT THERE TO SEE IF THERE IS SOMETHING MISSING AND WILL THEY COME BACK THAT DAY AND CLEAN IT. THE PROBLEM IS, THERE'S A COMMUNICATION GAP BETWEEN US AND THE CITIZENS. 
          WE WORK DILIGENTLY TO PUT THINGS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. 
          THE TV AND RADIO AND CLAY TODAY HAS COVERED IT. 
          IT IS A CONTINUED PROBLEM FOR US AND WE ARE WE ARE TRYING TO STAY 
          [00:25:04]
UP-TO-DATE. I'M REALLY SORRY. 
          >> MY QUESTION WAS, ARE THEY USING STAFF TO FILL OTHER COUNTIES CONTRACTS THAT NORMALLY WOULD BE SENT TO CLAY. 
          >> THE ANSWER IS NO. THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH A SIGNIFICANT LOSS. THEY ARE OPERATING AT 60% CAPACITY. I IMAGINE IF YOU'RE GOING TO PLAY FOOTBALL AND YOU HAVE A TEAM OF 11 PEOPLE AND YOU ARE PLAYING SIX. YOU CAN ONLY KEEP THAT GOING FOR SO LONG. WE ARE WORKING ON SOLUTIONS. 
          THE SOLUTIONS I MENTIONED IN MY E-MAIL TO YOU, WORKING ON IT WITH THE COUNTY MANAGER AND SHOULD HAVE IT WITHIN THE NEXT DAY SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT. THERE IS NOT ONE THAT IS PAIN-FREE. THEY ALL HAVE PAIN. 
          >> I FEEL LIKE IN MAY WE WERE CRANKING ALONG AND THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER BUT WE HAVE GOTTEN WORSE. 
          >> NOT DUE TO ANYTHING THAT THE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES HAVE 
          DONE. >> I AM NOT PROUD THAT THE COUNTY MANAGER HAD TO RIDE ON THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. 
          THEY ARE USING TAXPAYERS DOLLARS TO PAY THE COMPANY TO DO THE WORK. THE TAXPAYERS AND TO ENCOURAGE 
          HIS SALARY. >> WASTE MANAGEMENT PAID A 
          SALARY. >> THEY DON'T KNOW THAT. 
          EVERYONE DOESN'T KNOW THAT. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WE ARE PROVIDING THIS. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING, AND I UNDERSTAND YOU DON'T HAVE ANSWERS BUT, I DON'T KNOW. 
          >> IT IS A CONTINUED FIGHT. >> IN LARGE AIRPLANE THEM $50 PER HOUR. THE NEXT IS HELPERS. 
          WORSE THAT'S RIGHT THEY WERE AT DIFFERENT WAGES AND NOW THEY ARE AT 15,035 CENTS PER HOUR. THAT IS 10% OVER SIX MONTHS FOR THE DRIVERS, THEY WERE DOWN THREE DRIVERS A FEW MONTHS AGO NOW THERE ARE SEVEN DRIVERS. THEY ARE UP TO $19.60 PER HOUR. 
          BACK IN DECEMBER THEY WERE PAYING THEM $50.89 PER HOUR. 
          THIS IS NOT THE ONLY INDUSTRY. AMERICAN AIRLINES IS DOWN IN THEIR OFFERING OF FLIGHTS. THEY CAN'T GET THEM PILOTS OR MECHANIC'S OR ANYONE TO THROW BAGS. 
          THIS IS A NATIONWIDE ISSUE AND PROBLEM THAT WE ARE TRYING TO FIX AND TO THINK OUT-OF-THE-BOX TO FIX IT. 
          >> WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE STORM? 
          >> IT IS GOING TO BE ALL HANDS ON DECK WITH THE STORM. 
          THAT IS WHY I WENT OUT THERE. IT WAS AN EMERGENCY. 
          WE WERE THREE WEEKS BEHIND IN YARD WASTE PICKUP. 
          IT IS JUST A CONSTANT STRUGGLE. I THINK SOME OF THE ISSUES CAN BE ADDRESSED AND CHARLIE IS FINALIZING THIS IN CONVERSATIONS. I WAS THERE TOO. 
          IT IS A VERY DELICATE THING TO WAY. 
          THE NUMBER ONE THING SHOULD BE GARBAGE. 
          WHEN YOU LOOK AT RECYCLING WHEN WE WERE IN COVID OR THEY HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE WORKERS GETTING COVID-19 AND THE VIRUS WE WENT THE ROUTE OF RECYCLING WE HEARD THE PUBLIC THEY WANTED TO RECYCLE. WE SAID OKAY WE WILL RECYCLE. 
          IN WASTE MANAGEMENT'S PROPOSAL, THEY WILL COME TO US AND WE WILL TALK ABOUT THIS. MAYBE WE SUSPEND RECYCLING FOR THE NEXT THREE MONTHS, OR WE DO SOME SORT OF COMBINATION OF ONCE PER MONTH PICKUP OR RECYCLING. THAT IS IN ORDER TO HAVE THE WORKERS PICK UP YARD WASTE. WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, THE LIMITING FACTOR IS PEOPLE. THEY HAVE DRUGS, THEY CONFIRMED THAT WITH ME ON THURSDAY. IT'S JUST A NUMBER OF PEOPLE. 
          [00:30:03]
THERE ARE SOME OTHER AREAS THATY SHOULD LIMIT THAT FOR THE 
          DRIVERS. >> I NEED TO ASK YOU AND IT IS SHAMEFUL THAT I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER. 
          HOW DO WE PAY THEM. ARE THEY STILL GETTING PAID THE SAME AMOUNT, WHATEVER FREQUENCY WE PAY THEM. 
          ARE THEY GETTING THE SAME CHECK MONTHLY BUT NOT PROVIDING THE SERVICE OR IS THE COUNTY PAYING LESS? 
          >> RIGHT NOW WE ARE PAYING THEM BUT WE KEEP TRACK OF EVERY EXPENSE AND BILLING THEM THE EXPENSES THAT WE ARE TAKING UNDER OUR WING. THERE IS A PROPOSAL TO REFUND SOME MONEY, BUT WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. WERE NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS OR TENS OF DOLLARS. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT IT THE AMOUNT IS $1.50 PER MONTH. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT FOR MISSED PICKUP SPIRIT OUT OF THE, AND IN CHARLIE'S BRIEF AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN'T SEE IT BUT WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT IS ON THE WEBSITE. 
          CHARLIE DID A GREAT JOB SHOWING THE WEEKLY SERVICE AND THE HAULING OF THAT AND THE WASTE FROM THAT. 
          WE HAVE GONE OUT, THE STATE OF GEORGIA EXCEPT OUR GARBAGE. 
          WE HAVE ASKED AND THIS WOULD BE THE GARBAGE IN THE YARD WASTE TOGETHER TO THE LANDFILL. WE ARE TOLD ON ONE LANDFILLED WE CANNOT DO THAT. THE TRUCK WOULD PICK UP EVERYTHING AT ONE TIME. INSTEAD OF GOING BACK AROUND FOR ANOTHER SCHEDULE. WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT ALSO. 
          THE ONLY WAY LEGALLY THIS CAN HAPPEN, IS IF THEY TAKE AN TAPPET FROM A LANDFILL THEN THEY WILL ALLOW YOU TO MIX THE GARBAGE. WE ARE TRYING TO FIND A LANDFILL THAT WILL ACCEPT IT. WHEN THE TRUCK COMES BY THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE, INSTEAD OF PICKING UP GARBAGE THEY WOULD PICK UP GARBAGE AND YARD WASTE. WE ARE REALLY TRYING TO THINK OUT-OF-THE-BOX ARE WE CAN FIX THIS AND TO KEEP US ON STAFF. 
          EVERYONE HAS X NUMBER OF DAYS THAT THEY ARE BEHIND ON THIS. 
          THEY ARE NOT NECESSARILY TAKING OUR PEOPLE AND GOING TO FULFILL ANOTHER COUNTY BECAUSE THEY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS TOO. 
          >> ALSO IF YOU CAN PUT INTO YOUR SEARCH ENGINE YOU CAN FIND THERE ARE DIFFERENT CITIES AND NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO DID SPOT, WE ARE IN MUCH BETTER SHAPE THAN A LOT OF OTHER COUNTIES BUT WE NEED TO GET BETTER AND WE ARE WORKING ON THAT NOW. 
          >> ARE WE STUPID TO THINK ABOUT REFUNDING THE CITIZENS THE PORTION THAT HAS TO DO WITH YARD WASTE AND LET THEM CONTRACT 
          THEIR OWN YARD WASTE DOLLAR? >> I SUGGESTED SOMETHING LIKE 
          THAT AT THE END OF MARCH. >> WE HAVE A CONTRACT WITH WASTE 
          MANAGEMENT THROUGH THE END. >> BUT THEY'RE NOT DOING THE 
          JOB. >> WE CANNOT JUST SAY YARD 
          WASTE. >> THEY MAY BE WILLING TO GIVE 
          IT UP. >> I CAN PROMISE YOU -- 
          >> WE ARE HOLDING THEM TO THE FIRE. 
          >> HE CAN GET SOME OF THESE IDEAS OUT THERE. 
          I'M NOT SATISFIED WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING. 
          I KNOW WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING ELSE. 
          THE FACT THAT WE ARE STILL MOVING GARBAGE IS IMPORTANT. 
          THE YARD WASTE HOWEVER, IS WHAT PEOPLE ARE FOCUSING ON NOW. 
          WE DON'T HAVE TO MOVE THAT, PEOPLE CAN CONTRACT ON THEIR OWN, OR WE CAN OPEN IT UP AND THAT SOMEONE ELSE BID ON THE 
          PIECE. >> NOTHING IS STUPID TO CONSIDER. I THINK THE DRIVER IMPACT WOULD 
          BE THE SAME. >> THE COST OF GARBAGE WILL DOUBLE AND THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT THAT. 
          BUT OPPOSED TO THE PUBLIC BEING UNHAPPY I WOULD JUST RATHER PAY AND GET THE PROBLEM FIXED IF IT IS A POSSIBILITY. 
          WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING ELSE IF WHAT WE HEAR IS TRUE. 
          LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW WE CAN FIX THIS. 
          IT MAY NOT BE WHAT THEY WANT BUT IF THEY FEEL THAT WAY THAT'S GREAT. WE KNOW WHAT TO DO. 
          AT THIS POINT, IT FEELS LIKE WE ARE JUST SHUFFLING AROUND IN CIRCLES. WE NEED TO COME UP WITH AN IDEA 
          [00:35:04]
OR A SOLUTION IF WE CAN'T THINK OUT-OF-THE-BOX. 
          >> WE HAVE TWO PROBLEMS. AS CHARLIE INDICATED, HOW MUCH OF A MONTHLY CHARGE EACH HOMEOWNER PAYS IN TERMS OF THEIR PICKUP, YARD WASTE IS THE LEAST EXPENSIVE PART. 
          >> FOR FOUR VISITS THAT IS A LITTLE UNDER $2. 
          GO OUT AND FIND SOMEONE ELSE WHO WILL DO THE SAME PICKUP FOR $2 AND THAT WILL BE A PROBLEM. DO YOU WANT TO HAVE A WORKSHOP TO EXPLORE OPTIONS? I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT. A LOT OF COMMISSIONERS ARE IN-AND-OUT AND WE CAN DO IT BY ZOOM. 
          SINCE WE WON'T VOTE ON ANYTHING, WE CAN POSSIBLY ASK THE ATTORNEY IF THAT IS POSSIBLE FOR US TO DO THAT. 
          LET US KNOW, LET US GET TOGETHER WITH THE COUNTY MANAGER SO WE CAN FIND OUT THE SCHEDULES, AND SEE THE OPTIONS. 
          I AM JUST AS FRUSTRATED. BUT REALISTICALLY ANY COMPANY THAT HAS DRIVERS OR PEOPLE WHO DO YARD WASTE WILL BE IN THE SAME SITUATION. WE CAN CLAIM WE ARE FRUSTRATED BECAUSE WE ALL ARE, AND TRIED TO FIGURE OUT A BETTER WAY. 
          ARNOLD CHARLIE AND THE COUNTY MANAGER, THEY HEADQUARTERED THEMSELVES SEVERAL TIMES OVER THIS ISSUE. 
          THERE IS NO EASY ANSWER AND THERE MAY NOT BE UNTIL SOMETIME DOWN THE ROAD. LET'S FIGURE OUT WHETHER WE CAN GET A WORKSHOP TOGETHER AND PUT THOSE IDEAS ON THE TABLE AND FIGURE OUT WHETHER IT WILL WORK FOR EVERYONE. 
          >> A POSSIBLE SOLUTION IN THE NEAR FUTURE IS THE SUSPENSION OF FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT INSURANCE WHICH I THINK WILL BE TERMINATED ON THE 26TH OR THE 28TH. THAT WILL CERTAINLY HELP THE SITUATION. I THINK THIS WHOLE PROBLEM HAS BEEN BROUGHT UPON US BY VERY GENEROUS UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS AND INDIVIDUALS WERE ABLE TO OBTAIN IT. 
          I AM JUST SAYING, THAT IS ONE OF THE SOLUTIONS. 
          WHAT EFFECT IT WILL HAVE, WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE. 
          BUT IT IS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. >> IF I MAY MR. CHAIR, THE ASSOCIATION, I MENTIONED THEM LAST TIME, THEY PUT OUT A TWO PAGE FLYER AND I WILL SEE IF IT CAN GO ON THE WEBSITE. 
          IT DISCUSSES CLEARLY HOW WE GOT INTO THE SITUATION THE PROBLEMS NOW AND WHAT OPTIONS THEY RECOMMEND THAT WE IMPLEMENT TO SOLVE THEM. MOST OF THE ANSWERS ARE CUT BACK SERVICE AND ROADWAYS. WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT. 
          WE ARE STAYING IN THE FIGHT. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS TAKEN CARE OF. IT IS WITHOUT QUESTION THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE I HAVE EVER FACED IN ALL OF MY YEARS. 
          >> FIRST THE TELEPHONE NUMBER, AGAIN, 284-6374, THE VOICE AT THE OTHER END OF THE LINE WILL TAKE WHATEVER ISSUE THIS IS. 
          I DID HAVE CHARLIE PREPARE A BRIEF FOR THE NEXT BOARD MEETING AND THE PROPOSALS THAT THE BOARD WOULD HAVE CHOICES TO MAKE. 
          I THINK, WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, IT BECOMES A PARTICULAR AREA THAT YOU HAVE TO FOCUS ON THAT YOU CAN'T SERVICE. 
          REALLY SIMPLY AND FOR DISCUSSION, WHETHER IT IS REMOVAL OF RECYCLING OR THE REMOVAL OF YARD WASTE AND TO REIMBURSE THE CITIZENS FOR THE LOSS. 
          THAT IS AS SIMPLE AS WE CAN MAKE IT. 
          WE CAN DISCUSS IT BUT JUST THE EXPECTATIONS THAT ARE OUT THERE FOR THE DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT WOULD BE REIMBURSED. 
          WE ARE TALKING UNDER $10 FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME. 
          IN ORDER TO CONTRACT OUT, THAT'S IT. 
          ON RECYCLING WE WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO DROP OFF RECYCLING AT ONE OF THE COLLECTION POINTS AND BAD FOR YARD WASTE, THE CITIZENS 
          [00:40:02]
ALWAYS HAVE THE OPTION TO BRING GET. 
          ALL OF THESE THOUGH INTO FACTORS OF HOW MUCH OF A BURDEN TO WE WANT TO GIVE TO THE RESIDENT. BILLS WILL BE THE OPTIONS. 
          WE WILL PROCEED WITH THAT. IF WE COME TO AN IMPASSE, MAY BE A WORKSHOP AFTER THAT BUT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING IT AND WE HAVE GOTTEN TO A POINT WHERE WE CAN GET TO AN AGREEMENT. 
          >> THEY WOULD COME WITH A FULL PRESENTATION AND OPTIONS IF WE SEE THERE ARE NO OPTIONS, SOMETHING WE WANT TO REALLY PURSUE WE CAN DO A WORKSHOP AND DETERMINE IF IT'S SOMETHING WE 
          WANT TO DO. >> THEY WILL GIVE US OPTIONS AND WE WILL MAKE A DETERMINATION. IN THE MEANTIME, PART OF IT IS THE COMMUNICATION. I AM NOT THRILLED WITH THE COMMUNICATION. YOUR FOLKS HAVE BEEN DOING A GREAT JOB AND OFTEN TIMES YOU FOLLOW-UP AFTER A COMPLAINT. 
          PEOPLE HAD NOT BEEN THERE FOR THREE WEEKS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT. WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND, FOLKS CONTINUE TO KEEP YARD WASTE ON THE CURB AND CALL US DIRECTLY? WE WERE TELLING EVERYONE THEY ARE AT LEAST A WEEK BEHIND. 
          >> IF YOU LEAVE THE YARD WASTE ON THE STREET WE WILL GET TO IT. 
          WE ARE WORKING ON IT. GARBAGE OR RECYCLING, CALL US AND WE WILL SEND SOMEONE TO PICK IT UP. 
          WE ARE HOLDING THEM RESPONSIBLE. THAT IS A PUBLIC HEALTH RISK IF WE DON'T KEEP IT MANAGED. THAT IS THE PRIMARY GOAL OF MY 
          DEPARTMENT. >> WE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH THE EQUIPMENT AND OUR PEOPLE FOR THIS WEEKEND THE FORESEEABLE 
          FUTURE. >> WE ARE TAKING EMPLOYEES AND WORKING WITH THEM. AS I'VE MENTIONED, I WOULD PUT IN A REQUISITION FOR A SMALLER TRUCK THAT WE CAN DO THAT THE DEPARTMENT CAN DO. THEY CAN TAKE IT BACK TO THE TRANSFER STATION. WE ARE DOING WHAT WE CAN DO. 
          LIKE I SAID, IF YOU GOOGLE IT YOU WILL FIND OUT IT IS 
          EVERYWHERE. >> ARE THE YARD WASTE PROBLEMS 
          EVERYWHERE? >> THERE IS ALSO WASTE PROBLEMS. THERE WAS A STORY THAT NEW YORK CITY HAS TRASH PILING UP ON THE STREETS AGAIN BECAUSE THEY CANNOT PUT PEOPLE IN TRUCKS. 
          REPUBLIC SERVICES ARE WEIGHED THEM FOR HOT -- WAY BEHIND. 
          SOME AREAS HAVEN'T SEEN PICKUPS IN WEEKS. 
          >> WHEN WE HAD THE HURRICANES, WE WERE ABLE TO CONTRACT WITH 
          PRIVATE HAULERS. >> TYPICALLY THAT IS DONE BY A THIRD PARTY SPECIALIST. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT GETTING 
          >> THAT CAN BE AN OPTION. CLAY ELECTRIC IS CUTTING DOWN POWER LINES, THERE IS DEBRIS EVERYWHERE WHERE I LIVE. 
          I AM SURE SOMEONE ELSE'S HAULING THAT OFF BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW IT IS BEING HANDLED. BUT IF THEY CAN'T HANDLE IT, WHY ARE THEY NOT CONTRACTING IT OUT? WHY IS THE ONLY OPTION CUT 
          SERVICES TO THE CITIZENS. >> THEY ALSO HAVE -- 
          >> I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND. I KNOW THIS IS NOT THE TOPIC, BUT WHEN YOU SAY GIVE UP RECYCLING, THESE ARE NOT THE SAME TRUCKS THAT PICKUP YARD WASTE. 
          >> THIS IS JUST VERY DISTASTEFUL TO TELL THE CITIZENS, YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE TO GIVE UP SERVICES. THIS IS A PROFITABLE COMPANY. 
          I UNDERSTAND THEY HAVE GONE UP IN THEIR WAGES. 
          WHEN YOU SAY THEY HAVE ONLY GONE UP 10%, THAT'S NOT A HUGE INCREASE BUT 43% IS HUGE. I DON'T KNOW. 
          I JUST FEEL LIKE, I EXPECT WASTE MANAGEMENT TO DO MORE. 
          HERE IS WHAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT. 
          THEY ARE HOLDING TAXPAYERS OVER A BARREL. 
          [00:45:01]
NEXT YEAR WHEN WE PUT THIS OUT FOR BID THEY WILL GO DOUBLE THE PRICE AND SAY, THE WHOLE INDUSTRY HAS DONE THIS. 
          THE WHOLE INDUSTRY DOES NOT HAVE TO TREAT TAXPAYERS THAT WAY THEY CAN CUT THEIR PROFITS. THIS MAKING MONEY BECAUSE THERE WAS A SLOWDOWN IN THE PANDEMIC AND MAKING MONEY ON THE SUPPLY CHAIN AND WE DON'T HAVE THIS OR THAT, IT GETS OLD. 
          I UNDERSTAND THAT IS NOT YOUR FAULT BUT I DON'T FEEL LIKE, THEY CAME TO THE FIRST MEETING BUT WE HAVE NOT SEEN THEM SINCE. 
          I FEEL LIKE IF WE HAVE THIS MUCH OF A PROBLEM THEY SHOULD BE AT EVERY MEETING TALKING ON OUR SCREENS TO THE CITIZENS, TO TELL US WHAT THEY ARE DOING. IT DOES NOT FEEL LIKE THEY ARE 
          DOING EVERYTHING BAYER COULD. >> I CAN ARRANGE THAT. 
          >> IF I MAY, CHARLIE CAN ADDRESS THIS AND WE CAN WRAP IT UP. 
          THEY DID GO OUT TO CONTRACT THEY DON'T HAVE ANY STICKERS OR NOTIFICATIONS THOSE ARE CONTRACTED TRUCKS THAT THEY HAVE RENTED. WHEN IT CAME TO CONTRACTING, EVEN THE CONTRACTORS WERE LIMITED. 
          THOSE WOULD HAVE BEEN, THE VENDORS THAT WE WOULD HAVE GONE OUT WITH FOUR STORM. IF IT IS A STORM IT IS ALL HANDS ON DECK. WE ARE ASSISTING WHERE WE CAN TO GET THE WASTE PICKED UP. I JUST SAW JOHN IN THE BACK OF ME. HE WENT FROM EMERGENCY MANAGER TO GURU AND EVERYTHING HE HAD TO SET UP. 
          I THINK MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE RESIDENTS UNDERSTAND WE ARE TRYING TO THINK OUT OF THE BOX AND GET TO THE RIGHT SOLUTION. 
          WE WANT TO MAINTAIN THE SERVICES THAT WE DON'T ACCEPT ANY EXCUSES. WE WILL DO WHAT THE RESIDENTS 
          EXPECT ON THIS. >> ONE OTHER THING, DLT HAS LIMITATIONS. ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE, FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS. THEY PHYSICALLY CANNOT GO OUT ON THE TRUCK, THEY CAN'T. BUT IT ALSO DEMONSTRATES THEY ARE GIVING IT EVERYTHING THEY HAVE. 
          IF THIS WERE A PROBLEM UNIQUE TO CLAY COUNTY I WOULD BANG THE DRUM BUT IT IS HAPPENING IN SEVERAL INDUSTRIES. 
          IT IMPACTS THE CITIZENS EVERY DAY. 
          >> WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, THEY DON'T CARE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN NEW YORK OR CALIFORNIA. BUT MAY BE A CONSIDERATION IS I REMEMBER A FEW YEARS AGO THERE WAS A TRUCKING SHORTAGE AND THE INDUSTRY APPROACHED DLT TO RELAX SOME OF THE STANDARDS AND I'M NOT JUST SAYING UNSAFE STANDARDS. 
          I WORKED MY CAREER IN SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE AND I'M SAYING PUT ANYONE AT RISK. BUT IF IT IS A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM WITH DRIVERS, HAVE WE THOUGHT ABOUT APPROACHING DLT TO SAY CAN YOU RELAX THE STANDARDS AND LET THEM DRIVE OR DO SPLIT 
          SHIFTS OR THAT KIND OF THING. >> THE LAST QUESTION OR COMMENT. 
          >> IF THIS IS SUCH A BIG DEAL WHICH IT IS HERE IN CLAY COUNTY, NEW YORK CITY, WHAT VEHICLE DO WE USED TO ELEVATE THIS TO FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION, TO TAKE ACTION. 
          THAT IS HOW WE GOT THE TRUCK STORY IRMA AND THE HURRICANES. 
          IF THIS IS SUCH A BIG DEAL, WHY DON'T WE ELEVATE IT TO THE 
          FEDERAL LEVEL. >> MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, I 
          LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT. >> NATIONAL EMERGENCY, OH, TYPICALLY, THIS STUFF COMES WITH THE WEATHER. 
          FOR MANUAL ISSUES I DON'T KNOW OF ANY PERSONAL AGENCY WE CAN GO TO BUT I WILL TRY AFTER LISTENING TO YOUR MEETING TONIGHT. I WILL LOOK INTO IT. 
          >> JOHN DID YOU WRAP UP -- YOU ON OR ABOUT. 
          >> THERE'S NOTHING AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL WE CAN DO BUT WHEN IT DOES COME TO, WHEN I STEPPED OUT I THINK SOMETHING WAS MENTIONED ABOUT THE CONTRACTORS. WE WILL CHECK BECAUSE OF THE 
          [00:50:02]
ISSUES WE'VE BEEN HAVING. WE DO HAVE A MEETING AND I THINK IT IS IN TWO WEEKS BUT WE ARE LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY LANGUAGE BECAUSE WE DO HIRE LOCAL HAULERS AND MONITORS THAT ARE $15 PER HOUR EMPLOYEES. WE WILL SEE IF THERE'S ANY LANGUAGE WE NEED TO ADJUST. I DON'T WANT TO WAIT AND THEN THEY'RE GOING EVERYWHERE. BUT WE ARE LOOKING. 
          THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY TIME WE COULD USE FEMA. 
          >> DO YOU HAVE PEOPLE LINED UP? WE HAVE THREE DEBRIS MONITORS AND CONTRACT HAULERS BUT WHEN THEY COME IN, THEY LOOK TO STIMULATE THE LOCAL ECONOMY. THEY ALSO HAVE TRUCKERS THAT THEY BRING FROM THE OUTSIDE WHICH IS WHERE WE GOT INTO THE ISSUE WITH MATTHEW BECAUSE WE WERE THE LOWER RATES. 
          NOW WE HAVE HIGHER RATES. MY ONLY CONCERN WOULD BE THE MONITORS COMING IN WATCHING THE TRUCKS THOSE ARE THE $15 PER 
          HOUR PEOPLE. >> WHERE I'M GOING WITH THIS, WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY RIGHT NOW. THERE IS NO HURRICANE FOR THEM TO WORK ON. MAYBE WE CAN HIRE THEM TODAY, GIVE THE CITIZENS A CUT ON THEIR RATE AND GET THESE GUYS TO CATCH US UP. IF THEY HAD THE ABILITY TO STAY WITH US UNTIL THERE'S A HURRICANE, I KNOW WE CAN KEEP THEM FOREVER BUT IT WILL COST MONEY TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. 
          I'M SUGGESTING WE THINK OF PAYING OUT OF WHAT WE CAN FIND. 
          THIS IS A COVID-19 RELATED EXPENSE SOMEHOW. 
          >> I WILL WORK WITH THE COUNTY MANAGER TO SEE IF THAT WOULD BE 
          AN OPTION. >> THANK YOU. 
          >> THOSE FOLKS THAT TURNED IN CARDS, WE WON'T FORGET YOU. 
          LISA, COME ON DOWN. COME ON DECK. 
          I HAVE MARK I BELIEVE. >> I'M LISA TURNER I LIVE AT 506 BRANSON ROAD. I AM IN LAKE AS VERY. 
          I AM HERE TO VOICE MY OPPOSITION TO THE DEVELOPMENT. 
          I AM A SECOND-GENERATION RESIDENT. 
          I WAS RAISED OUT HERE. I LIKED IT SO MUCH I BOUGHT A COUPLE OF HOUSES. I AM THERE FOREVER. 
          THAT PROPERTY WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN ACCOUNT. IT WAS DONATED BY THE CHURCH. 
          IT WAS INTENDED TO BE UNDEVELOPED SPACE IF YOU WILL. 
          WE HAVE AN ISSUE RIGHT NOW WITH THE DANCE. 
          THEY WILL INCREASE OUR ASSESSMENTS. 
          THEY ARE ESTIMATING FROM 600 TO $2,400 PER YEAR TO MAKE THE DAM SAFE. WE WILL BRING IN ALL OF THESE ADDITIONAL PEOPLE, ALL OF THIS MACHINERY AND TRAFFIC, EVERYTHING OVER AN INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS CRUMBLING. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE DAMS BROKE. IT WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC. 
          NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THAT. I GUESS WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT, I'M VERY VESTED IN THE COMMUNITY AND MY FAMILY. 
          I ASK THAT YOU NOT CONSIDER THAT FOR AN OPTION. 
          MAYBE THAT IS WHERE YOU CAN HAVE A PARK OR SOMETHING THAT IS PUBLIC ACCESS FOR CAMPING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT BUT RESIDENTIAL, WE ALREADY HAVE TOO MUCH WATER COMING IN AS IT IS. 
          WHEN YOU GO OUT THERE AFTER IT RAINS AND IT LOOKS MUDDY BECAUSE OF THE RAIN, YOU WILL ADD MORE SERVICE, THAT WATER WILL HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE AND IT WILL GO TO THE LAKES AND THAT WILL DECREASE THE WATER QUALITY. I THINK IT IS A BAD IDEA. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. HAVE A GOOD DAY. 
          >> THANK YOU LISA. >> MARK? 
          >> YOU ARE ON DECK. >> I'M ALSO THE PRESIDENT OF THE OWNERS ASSOCIATION OUT THERE. AS YOU HAVE HEARD, BUT RESIDENTS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT THAT OCCURS IN THE AREA OF. WE WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION TO THESE MATTERS. ALSO, IT WAS MENTIONED THAT THE WATER RUNOFF IS A SERIOUS ISSUE HAPPENING. 
          [00:55:03]
IS NOT JUST WITH LAKE ASBURY, IT IS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. 
          IN PARTICULAR WITH THIS AREA, THERE ARE AREAS THAT ARE WASHING AWAY. PEOPLE ARE LOSING VALUES OF THE PROPERTY. THERE ARE HEALTH AND LIFE SAFETY ISSUES. THOUGH WATER IS SO GREAT IT COMES OUT IN THE GROUND. THERE ARE KIDS THAT PLAY IN THE AREA. I KNOW THE COMMISSIONER HAS BEEN UP THERE AND SHE HAS TOURED THE AREA AND I WOULD ASSUME YOU ARE AWARE OF THE SITUATION. OVER THE DECADES THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF CONVERSATION A LOT OF PROMISES AND COMMITMENTS MADE BY THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SAT IN YOUR SEATS. 
          NOW IS THE TIME FOR ACTION BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, WE ARE LOSING VALUE, WE ARE LOSING THE QUALITY OF LIFE OUT THERE. 
          THERE ARE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES IN TERMS OF THE WATER COMING INTO THE LAKES AND THE CONDITIONS IN THE RUNOFF. 
          LIFE SAFETY ISSUES WHERE A CHILD COULD FALL INTO BOTH GROUND. 
          THE POSSIBILITIES ARE THERE. WE ARE HAVING MORE FAMILIES MOVE OUT THERE KIDS ARE PLAYING AND THE SITUATION IS GETTING WORSE. 
          THEY ARE IN CONSTRUCTION. I KNOW YOU FOLLOW THE RULES YOU PUT UP YOUR FENCES YOU CONTROL THE WATER RUNOFF BUT THAT KEEPS YOU OUT OF JAIL. WHAT WE NEED IS THE ATTENTION TO WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE WATER WHEN A CONTRACTOR COMES IN AND CLEARCUTS THEIR LAND. WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE DONE FIVE YEARS BEFORE THE DEVELOPMENT. WHAT HAPPENS AND WHO MANAGES THE FENCES. I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE SHORTSTAFFED, YOU LOOK AT THE ZONING SIGNS THAT ARE OUT THERE TOO HIGH FOR THREE YEARS LATER, THERE'S A LOT GOING ON. 
          I KNOW I CAME FROM A COUNTY IN GEORGIA WHERE THEY ACTUALLY HAVE QUOTAS ON WHAT YOU CAN BUILD SO YOU CAN STAY AHEAD OF THE GROWTH IN PROVIDE THE INFRASTRUCTURE. I WILL BE LOOKING AND THE COMMUNITY IS LOOKING FOR A COMMITMENT AND ACTION TO ADDRESS THESE SITUATIONS. WE AND THE GROUP ARE WILLING AND ABLE TO ASSIST YOU AND PROVIDE YOU WITH INFORMATION AND SUPPORT YOU NEED TO HELP US GET THESE SITUATIONS TAKEN CARE OF. 
          THIS IS A LAKE AS BURIED SITUATION IN PARTICULAR BUT COUNTYWIDE. I'VE SEEN THESE PROBLEMS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. THE WATER GOES DOWN TO THE NEXT NEIGHBOR AND YOU TAKE A BUCKET AND YOU DON'T DESTROY THE LAND. 
          THIS IS WHAT WE ARE FACING RIGHT NOW. 
          >> K? >> HELLO I AM KATE I LIVE IN LAKE ASBURY ITEM AT 420 WESLEY ROAD. 
          I'M HERE TO SPEAK, I HAVE BEEN IN LAKE AS MARRIED 35 YEARS I HAVE RAISED MY CHILDREN THERE. I LIVE THERE AND I LOVE IT. 
          I WOULD NOT WANT TO GO ANYWHERE ELSE. 
          I'M REALLY AFRAID OF WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE DEVELOPMENT BUT I AM TRUSTING THE GUIDANCE OF THE EXPERTS. 
          WE HAVE HAD A SUMMER CAMP THERE WE HAVE HAD CAMPING THAT WAS NOT ZONED FOR HOMES. I LOOK AT THE PROBLEMS WITH THE DRAINAGE, WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL HOMES THAT ARE NO LONGER LAKEFRONT. THE WASH HAS TOTALLY ELIMINATED THEIR WATERFRONT HOMES. YET THEY PAID TAXES. 
          WE ARE GETTING READY TO HAVE A THREE 100% INCREASE IN THE TAXES. THESE PEOPLE WITH NO WATERFRONT BECAUSE OF THE WASH AND DRAINAGE PROBLEMS, THEY ARE STILL PAIN AND THEY HAVE TO LOOK AT THEIR NEIGHBORS THAT HAVE WATERFRONT BUT THEY DON'T. I WANT YOU TO TAKE THAT TO HEART. WHEN SOMEONE DOES BUT I THINK OF DRAINAGE PROBLEMS, THE PROBLEMS WITH THE DAMS. THEY ARE ALL IN JEOPARDY. THE DAM BETWEEN LAKE ASBURY AND BLITHE CREEK IS NUMBER ONE ON THE CRITICAL LIST. 
          THAT IS ONE THEY WILL HAVE TO CROSS WITH THE HEAVY EQUIPMENT. 
          THE DAM BETWEEN LAKE LARK AND LAKE ASBURY IS ALSO ON THE LIST BUT THAT IS OWNED BY THE DEVELOPER. 
          THEY WILL HAVE TO REPAIR THAT DAM BEFORE THEY CAN DO ANYTHING. 
          [01:00:06]
LAKE ASBURY NEED YOUR HELP. WE NEED YOUR PROTECTION. 
          WE NEED YOU TO LOOK OUT FOR US AND WE ASK YOU TO DO THAT FOR US 
          PLEASE. >> THANK YOU. 
          THAT WAS THE LAST OF THE CARDS TO BE TURNED THEN. 
          IF ANYONE ELSE IS HOLDING A CARD THAT WANTS TO SPEAK YOU CAN BRING IT TO THE PODIUM AND THEN TURN YOUR CARD IN. 
          I SEE NONE, WE WILL CALL THIS PUBLIC COMMENT OVER AND MOVE ON 
          [CONSENT AGENDA]
TO THE NEXT ITEM. THE CONSENT AGENDA. 
          LET'S SQUEEZE THAT IN BEFORE THE 5:00 P.M. TIME CERTAIN SPIRIT DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS WITH SOMEONE LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION ON 
          THE CONSENT AGENDA. >> MOVE FOR APPROVAL. 
          >> ANY DISCUSSION, ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE IT CARRIES 5-0. 
          [18.  5:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as can be heard - Resolution supporting a Unified Plan for the allocation and use of Opioid Settlement Proceeds and authorizing Clay County to execute the Florida Memorandum of Understanding and formal Agreements implementing a Unified Plan (C. Grimm)]
IT IS 5:00 P.M. WE'VE MOVED TO THE 5:00 P.M. 
          TIME CERTAIN. THAT IS NUMBER 18 ON YOUR AGENDA. THE FIRST ONE IS RESOLUTION SUPPORTING A PLAN FOR THE ALLOCATION USE OF OPIOID PROCEEDS AND AUTHORIZING CLAY COUNTY TO EXECUTE THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AND AGREEMENT OF A UNIFIED PLAN AND THE COUNTY 
          ATTORNEY WILL TAKE THIS. >> I WOULD JUST LIKE TO 
          INTRODUCE,. >> HOLD ON ONE SECOND LET EVERYONE CLEAR. I'M PRETTY CONFIDENT IT WASN'T 
          ANYTHING I SAID. >> AT LEAST I'M HOPEFUL IT 
          WASN'T ANYTHING I SAID. >> MAYBE IT WAS SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T SAY. TANGIER MAYBE I DIDN'T SAY THE 
          RIGHT THING. >> OKAY, GO AHEAD COURTNEY. 
          >> THIS IS IN CONNECTION WITH THE PENDING OPIOID LITIGATION. 
          ON THE BEHALF OUR OUTSIDE LEGAL COUNSEL WE HAVE JOHN WHO WILL SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE TEAM AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY 
          HAVE. >> 
          >> GOOD AFTERNOON MEMBERS. I AM JOHN ROMANO. 
          >> IF WE GO BACK A MOMENT IN HISTORY, THIS HAS TURNED INTO A WAVE OF DISASTER MEANING THE OPIOID CRISIS. 
          OUT THIS GOT STARTED IN TERMS OF LITIGATION, THERE WAS A PHARMACY DOWN THERE, IT WAS LEARNED THAT WITHIN A ONE-WEEK PERIOD, THE PHARMACY HAD SOLD 6 MILLION OXYCONTIN PILLS. 
          PEOPLE STARTED TO LOOK AT THAT AND REALIZE THE HORRORS. 
          THEY PUT TOGETHER CONSORTIUMS OF FIRMS TO REPRESENT COUNTIES AND CITIES. THAT IS WHAT BROUGHT IT TO THE COURT SPIRIT THOSE ARE IN OTHER DAYS OF THE COUNTRY. 
          THE RESOLUTION SHOULD BE PART OF THE RESOLUTION. 
          I CAN JUST SAY THE GIST OF THE SETTLEMENT IS WITH OVER 550 DEPOSITIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN TAKEN, LITERALLY HUNDREDS, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED BY THE FEDERAL JUDGE WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THE MULTI- DISTRICT LITIGATION WHRE ALMOST ALL OF THE CASES HAVE BEEN CONSOLIDATED THE ONLY WAY TO PUT THE MONEY TO USE IS TO GET THE MONEY FROM THE COMPANIES THAT DID THIS TO SOCIETY AND HAVE IT SET UP SO IT WILL HELP REMEDY THE FUTURE. 
          THAT IS WHERE IT ALL GOES. THERE ARE MANY THINGS I COULD TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT IS CONTAINED IN THE DOCUMENTS. 
          UNDERSTANDING IN THE COUNTIES AND CITIES WHICH IS THE DOCUMENT THAT HAS BEEN NEGOTIATED AND SIMILAR DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN 
          [01:05:01]
NEGOTIATED. I CAN TELL YOU THE RESOLUTIONS ARE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING TO CITIES AND COUNTIES IN FLORIDA. 
          WITHIN THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS, I KNOW SAINT AUGUSTINE, LAKE COUNTY, MARION COUNTY AND OTHERS HAVE SIGNED ON AND THE PROCESS IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. WHERE WE ARE, IT IS IN THE TIME. 
          OF TRYING TO GET EVERYONE ON BOARD, SO THERE WILL BE A SETTLEMENT. MORE SETTLEMENTS BEING MORE MONEY. THIS IS ONLY PART OF IT AT THIS JUNCTURE. THAT IS IN A NUTSHELL IT AND I AM HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT THERE MAY BE QUESTIONS I CANNOT ANSWER BUT I PROMISE I WILL GET THE ANSWERS IMMEDIATELY. BITE TEAMS WE HAVE SEVERAL LAW FIRMS THAT I HAVE PUT TOGETHER TO DO THE LITIGATION. 
          ONE OF THE MEMBERS IS PETER HE'S ALSO A MEMBER OF THE PLAINTIFFS STEERING COUNCIL FOR THE MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION. 
          AS THE LIAISON COUNSEL, SHE IS PART OF THE CITY WHO HAS THE EAR. PEOPLE CANNOT CALL AND TALK TO MY JUDGE, THIS IS A DEFENSE LAWYER WHO HAS ACCESS TO SPEAK TO THE JUDGE AND ON AN EX PARTE BASIS. 
          MEANING THAT LAWYER ONLY. HE IS PART OF OUR TEAM SO WE HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO THEM EVERY DAY. 
          THAT IS WHERE WE ARE. >> WHEN YOU ARE PART OF ANOTHER CASE DOES THAT IMPACT IF WE AGREE SIGNING TO THIS SUIT? DOES THAT IMPACT THE OTHER ELEMENTS? 
          >> THIS SHOULD NOT IMPACT AT ALL. 
          THIS IS A SEPARATE SUIT. WHEN THE CASE BROUGHT ON BY BEHALF OF THE COUNTIES WE REPRESENT, THEY WERE REMOVED OR SENT INTO FEDERAL COURT, IT IS THE FEDERAL JUDGE IN CLEVELAND 
          THAT HAS THE CASE. >> IS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL 
          RECOMMENDING THIS? >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR JOHN? 
          >> IS MY UNDERSTANDING WE WILL GET OUT OF THE OTHER SUIT AND BE 
          RECOMMENDED BY THE STATE. >> WE CAN STILL PURSUE THE 
          MULTIPLE SUITS GOING ON. >> I THINK THE NUMBER OF CITIES AND THAT LITIGATION. BUT THERE ARE POCKETS OF LITIGATION GOING ON ELSEWHERE WHICH IS WHY THERE ARE TRIALS 
          GOING ON RIGHT NOW. >> WE CAN BE PART OF THIS ONE. 
          >> I THINK THE CONFUSION IS, WE WERE JOINED AS PART OF THE MDL. 
          IN CONNECTION WITH THAT AND DIFFERENT SETTLEMENT GOING ON, THE STATE WANTS US TO JOIN TOGETHER AS PART OF ALLOCATION OF FUNDS. IT'S NOT LIKE WE HAVE MULTIPLE 
          LAWSUITS GOING ON, WE HAVE ONE. >> WE ARE REPRESENTING THE COUNTY ON THIS YES. IF I COULD EXPLAIN MORE AND THIS MAY HELP. WHEN IT BECAME CLEAR, THERE WAS GOING TO BE A SETTLEMENT BECAUSE DEFENDANTS WERE COMING TO THE TABLE AND SAID ENOUGH, STOP THE LITIGATION WE WANT TO SETTLE THE CASE, IT BECAME CLEAR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY WOULD COME TO THE STATE AND COUNTY, THE PROBLEM WAS, AS EVERYONE CAN IMAGINE, THERE WAS THE THOUGHT, I'LL WITH THE MONEY BE DIVIDED UP. I WOULD SAY IN FLORIDA, A MEETING OF PEOPLE WHO THOUGHT THIS THROUGH, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SAID LET'S HAVE A MEETING AND BRING EVERYONE TOGETHER, THIS HAS HAPPENED IN MOST STATES, NOT ALL BUT I AM PROUD OF FLORIDA BECAUSE I FEEL THAT WAS THE WAY TO GO AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL PUT IT TOGETHER AND THEY CAME UP WITH THIS MEMORANDUM AND SEEKING A SIGNING OFF. 
          [01:10:05]
I THINK, THAT IN CONNECTION WITH FUTURE SETTLEMENTS, THIS IS PART OF THE MONEY COMING IN AND THERE COULD BE ADDITIONAL FUNDS INCLUDED IN THE POT BUT STILL PART OF ONE'S LITIGATION. 
          JUST DIFFERENT DEFENDANTS DOING DIFFERENT ACTIONS BECAUSE THERE 
          WERE SO MANY. >> QUESTIONS? 
          >> IT SAID THE MATERIAL INCREASE WILL INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF FUNDS. IF WE GO THIS ROUTE? 
          >> WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE OTHER CASES. WE DON'T KNOW AS THEY COME OUT OF BANKRUPTCY OF MUCH MONEY BUT WE DO KNOW THERE WILL BE MORE MONEY THAT WILL BE ADDED INTO THE BUCKET AS WE HAVE SETTLEMENTS. THIS IS PRIMARILY THE DISTRIBUTORS AND I THINK IT WAS TO OTHER COMPANIES, THERE ARE MANY OTHERS IN BANKRUPTCY AND MANY OTHERS BEING PURSUED. 
          >> THIS FEELS LIKE THE TOBACCO LEGISLATION. 
          THERE IS NO DOLLARS IN THIS DUSTER APPEARED. 
          >> I HAVE SOMETHING TO COMMENT ON. 
          I WAS INVOLVED IN THAT. I REMEMBERED THAT, DISTINCTLY IT WAS BEING STATED, LET ALL OF THE MONEY GO TO THE STATE AND SOMEHOW IT WILL FILTER TO THE COUNTIES AND CITIES. 
          AS EACH OF YOU MAY KNOW, THAT IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED CERTAINLY NOT IN FLORIDA, THIS IS IT BE, TAXES OR THE STATES I WAS AWARE OF. 
          PART OF THE REASON THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SAID LET'S BRING EVERYONE TOGETHER IS BECAUSE WE HAVE THE INDIVIDUAL SUITS WEEK COUNTIES AND CITIES AND WE CANNOT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN THIS TIME. THE CITY AND COUNTIES MUST HAVE A SEAT AT THE TABLE AND MONEY MUST COME TO THEM AND IN SOME INSTANCES DIRECTLY AND IN OTHER RESPECTS THROUGH THE STATE. 
          THAT WAS IMPORTANT. I DO KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE BIG TOBACCO CASE. 
          THAT WAS SETTLED IN AUGUST. THE INITIAL DISTRIBUTION DID NOT START UNTIL 1999. I REMEMBER IT WELL. 
          >> ANYTHING ELSE, I WANTED TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAD QUESTIONS. OKAY. 
          WITH NO OTHER QUESTIONS, WE NEED A MOTION. 
          I'VE MOVED TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION. 
          >> SECOND PERIOD. >> ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR PLEASE SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED? IT CARRIES 5-0. THANK YOU JOHN. 
          [19.  5:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as can be heard - Public Hearing on the adoption of an ordinance establishing the Clay County Local Provider Participation Fund (C. Grimm)]

          >> WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES WHO ARE HERE TO EXPLAIN ABOUT THE PROGRAM. IT IS AN ORDINANCE THAT SETS FORTH THE FRAMEWORK TO ESTABLISH THE FUND WHICH WILL BE IN CONNECTION WITH THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT WHERE HOSPITALS WITHIN THE COUNTY. I DON'T KNOW WHO WANTS TO TAKE% THE LEAD. WE HAVE ARRIVED HERE ON BEHALF

OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH STAFF ON THIS AS WELL. 
          TODAY IS NOT THE END OF THIS STORY. 
          THIS WOULD BE THE BEGINNING. IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THIS WILL FOLLOW UP WITH A RESOLUTION TO IMPLEMENT AND IT WOULD HAPPEN ON ANNUAL BASIS. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT, I DON'T WANT TO SAY TOO MUCH BUT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH HERE. THE MEDICAID PROGRAM AND I APOLOGIZE IF I AM REPEATING THINGS, AGAIN THIS IS A STATE AND FEDERAL PARTNERSHIP THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR DECADES THAT WE ALL KNOW. IT PROVIDES HEALTH INSURANCE FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE BLIND OR PREGNANT OR PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY POOR OR DISABLED, IT IS THE SAFETY NET IN OUR COUNTRY FOR INDIVIDUALS TO GET HEALTHCARE WHEN THEY ARE SICK. 
          MEDICAID IS HANDLED BY THE 50 STATES. 
          BASICALLY HOW IT WORKS, AND I'M VERY MUCH OVERSIMPLIFYING IT BUT THE STATE SETS THEIR OWN PARAMETERS FOR THE MOST PART, THE PROGRAMS ARE HERE AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SAYS, IF YOU WANT TO SPEND $100,000 ON THIS WE WILL MATCH THIS. 
          USUALLY THEY PAY MORE THAN THE STATE DOES. 
          USUALLY THE STATE PICKS UP SOMETHING ELSE. 
          IN SOME STATES, THE PAYMENTS ARE MORE THAN OTHERS. 
          FLORIDA IS ONE THAT IS MORE CONSERVATIVE AND WE GENERALLY DON'T SPEND A LOT ON MEDICAID BECAUSE WE HAVE TO BALANCE OUR BUDGET AND MEDICAID IS VERY EXPENSIVE. 
          IT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST PARTS OF THE BUDGET. 
          THIS IS TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE GET HEALTHCARE. 
          WHEN MEDICAID, THE BASIC THING IT DOES IS REIMBURSE PROVIDERS FOR PROVIDING SERVICES. WHEN SOMEONE SHOWS UP AT A HOSPITAL, IT COSTS MONEY. CLAY COUNTY, OUR HOSPITALS ARE IMPORTANT TO THE ECONOMY AND IT PROVIDES HELP FOR THE COUNTY. 
          TYPICALLY, AN THIS IS A TRIED AND TRUE FIGURE, 60 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR, WHEN YOU ARE A PROVIDER RECEIVING MEDICAID YOU GET 60 CENTS. IT IS NOT A WINNING PROPOSITION FOR A PROVIDER. THIS IS SOMETHING THE BEST WAY TO CLOSE THE GAP IS WITH THIS PROGRAM. 
          THIS IS THE DIRECT PAYMENT PROGRAM. 
          REMEMBER HOW I DESCRIBED EARLIER THE STATE WILL HAVE THE PROGRAM AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL MATCH IT, THAT IS THIS IN A NUTSHELL. THE SUBSEQUENT RESOLUTION WOULD HAVE AN ASSESSMENT ON THE HOSPITALS. 
          MEDICAL, BOTH SMALL FACILITY AND ANY OTHER HOSPITALS THAT COME ALONG. IT WOULD NOT APPLY HOLOCAUST ANY RESIDENT ANYTHING. PERIOD. 
          THIS IS NOT AN ASSESSMENT ON ANYONE'S PROPERTY. 
          IT WOULD NEVER BE AN ASSESSMENT IF IT WERE IT WOULD VIOLATE THE PROGRAM AND WE WOULD NOT ASK YOU TO APPROVE IT. 
          THIS IS NOT. IT WOULD ONLY APPLY TO THE HOSPITALS IN YOUR COMMUNITY. TWELVE, HOW IT WOULD WORK, THE ASSESSMENT WOULD BE ASSESSED, YOU HAVE DONE ASSESSMENTS AND OTHER AREAS. THOSE DOLLARS WOULD BUILD TO THE STATE AND THOSE WOULD BE MATCHED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. 
          THE REASON YOU DO IT, YOU CAN TAKE $100,000 OF YOUR ASSESSMENT AND YOU HAVE A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS IT GOES FROM THE 
          [01:20:05]
HOSPITAL THIS CAN FILL THE GAP. CREATE MORE REVENUE. 
          AS SIMPLE AS THAT FEAR ALL OF THE HOSPITALS WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE MORE QUALITY CARE AND ALL OF THE THINGS THEY DO TO PROVIDE CARE THROUGHOUT THE RURAL AREAS MORE MONEY WOULD BE CREATED TO PAY THE DOCTORS AND THOSE WHO RUN THE OPERATIONS. 
          I TALK ABOUT MEDICAID BECAUSE THIS IS A MEDICAID DEAL I AM TALKING ABOUT. THEY HAVE ALL DONE THIS. 
          MARION WILL CONSIDER THIS AND AUGUST THEY MAY CONSIDER THIS. 
          IF YOU WERE TO PASS THIS ORDINANCE, AS I SAID EARLIER YOU MAY HAVE A REVOLUTION COME BEFORE YOU IN THE FUTURE. 
          ANY OF THE HOSPITALS ASSESS CAN IN THIS. 
          IF IT -- IF THEY LOOK AT THIS AND SAY THIS DOES WORK, NOT A GOOD IDEA. THIS IS NOT THE END OF THINGS TODAY. THIS IS THE BEGINNING. 
          THIS WILL HELP HOSPITALS MITIGATE THEIR LOSSES AND HAVE BETTER ACCESS TO CARE. THE REASON I AM HERE NOW, AND NO ONE HAS BEEN HERE IN THE PAST, THE STATE OF FLORIDA JUST STARTED MAKING THIS AN OPTION LAST YEAR. 
          LAST TIME LEGISLATION WAS CREATED AS AN OPTION FOR COUNTIES. THE GOVERNOR PUT IT IN HIS BUDGET. THE LEGISLATION THIS YEAR APPROVED IT AS AN OPTION AS A WAY TO DRAW DOWN FOR FEDERAL DOLLARS I WAS DESCRIBING. IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE NOW GETTING MOMENTUM TO GET THIS DONE, PARTICULARLY DURING THE PANDEMIC WITH THE CHALLENGES, MAKING SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE RESOURCES FOR HEALTHCARE. WITH THAT, I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. WE ARE ALL HERE FOR QUESTIONS. 
          WE ASK YOUR SUPPORT OF THIS ORDINANCE. 
          >> THIS ASSESSMENT IS TO MAKE THE HOSPITALS WHOLE ON MEDICAID IN THE FUTURE. WHAT METRIC DO WE USE, NO ONE HAS A CRYSTAL BALL AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT MEDICAID SERVICES WILL BE PROVIDED WHAT DO WE DO TO ASSESS HOSPITALS TODAY. 
          >> THE STATE WILL BE DEVELOPING THOSE METRICS. 
          WHAT THE ASSESSMENTS WOULD BE WILL BE PRESENTED TO YOU AT THE TIME WE DEAL WITH THE RESOLUTION. 
          AS A GENERAL RULE IT WILL BE BASED ON NET REVENUES. 
          OBVIOUSLY HOSPITALS THAT DO MORE MEDICAID WORK, WOULD HAVE GREATER ACCESS TO THE FUNDS. THERE WILL BE MORE AVAILABLE FOR THOSE THAT HAVE MORE MEDICAID WORK THAN THOSE WHO DOESN'T. 
          IT IS ABOUT $20 MILLION OF CARE THAT OCCURS IN CLAY COUNTY RIGHT 
          NOW. >> THIS ASSESSMENT ESTIMATION, COULD BE SOMETHING THAT A HOSPITAL GOOD OBJECTIVE. 
          I DON'T KNOW UNDER WHAT UNIVERSE THEY WOULD, BUT IF THIS EVOLVES, IN A MANNER THAT FOR WHATEVER REASON IT IS NOT PRODUCING OUTCOMES WE DESCRIBE, IT'S LIKE YOU REVIEW ALL OF YOUR ASSESSMENTS. YOU LOOK AT THEM AND YOU SAY DOES THIS MAKE SENSE, IS THIS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH, ARE WE ACCOMPLISHING THE GOALS. 
          IS NOT YOU HAVE A DECISION TO MAKE. 
          THIS ISN'T GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY OR THE HOSPITALS OR THE EMPLOYEES. EACH HOSPITAL AS A VETO OF IT EVERY YEAR. WHEN BAPTISTS COME FROM MINE WHICH THEY WILL, I'M SURE THERE WILL BE OTHER SYSTEMS AS CLAY COUNTY GIRLS. WE WILL HAVE A LOT MORE HOSPITALS. EACH TIME ONE OF THE HOSPITALS 
          [01:25:02]
COME ONLINE, THEY WOULD BE ASSESSED TOO. 
          AUTOMATICALLY IF YOU DO THE RESOLUTION. 
          EACH OF THE HOSPITALS HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS. 
          THEY CAN VETO IT. THEY CAN WORK FOR US. 
          THE OTHERS, BUT IT HAS TO WORK FOR EVERYONE. 
          TOGETHER WE RISE, SEPARATED WE FALL TYPE SITUATION. 
          I THINK IF I WERE IN YOUR SHOES I WOULD SAY WHAT IS OUR SAFEGUARD TO MAKE SURE THIS IS DOING WHAT IT SAYS, AND IT HAS 
          EVERY SAFEGUARD YOU CAN IMAGINE. >> YOU SAID, THAT THIS WOULD PROVIDE MORE CARE TO MORE MEDICAID PATIENTS. 
          IS THERE A MAXIMUM? >> JUST IN THE SENSE WE ONLY -- NOT ONLY TO PEOPLE ON MEDICAID BUT PEOPLE SHOWED UP AT THE HOSPITALS, EVEN IF THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID THEY DON'T ALWAYS SIGN UP. THEN THERE'S A DOUGHNUT HOLE OF PEOPLE WHO CANNOT AFFORD HEALTH INSURANCE WHO DON'T QUALIFY FOR MEDICAID, AND WE PROVIDE THAT IS OUR MISSION, TO FOCUS ON QUALITY CARE FOR THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE MONEY, THAT IS WHAT I MEANT. 
          >> I KNOW YOU SAID A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS IN THE LAST ANSWER, 
          WHAT WOULD YOU SAY,. >> I HEAR YOU, I DON'T SEE ANY 
          NEGATIVES. >> OKAY, GREAT. 
          >> I GUESS, I WANT TO CLARIFY IF ONE HOSPITAL SAYS THIS IS A NO 
          GO THIS IMPACTS EVERYONE? >> IT DOES. 
          THAT IS HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER, ONE HOSPITAL MAYFIELD THE WAY IT IS ADMINISTERED IT IS NOT FAIR SOMEONE HAS AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE THEY CAN OBJECT. 
          >> THE SECOND QUESTION. I JUST WANTED TO FOLLOW UP AND AS THIS. SO, THE DOLLARS COME TO THE COUNTY? THEN THEY GO TO THE STAKE? DO THEY GO DIRECTLY BACK TO THE HOSPITAL? 
          >> CORRECT. >> A FEDERAL MATCH. 
          >> THE INTERESTING PART IS THEY GO BACK TO THE REGION, NOT 
          NECESSARILY THE HOSPITALS. >> IT DOES GO BACK TO THE HOSPITAL BUT THE STATE IS DIVIDED IN REGIONS FOR A LOT OF REASON INCLUDING THE MEDICAID. ONE REGION FOUR. 
          DUFAULT MASS -- NASSAU AND OTHERS. 
          THERE IS ONE OTHER ONE, OR MAYBE ST. JOHN'S. 
          OUR GENERAL AREA OF THE STATE, WE ALL HAVE TO BE IN THIS TOGETHER, NOT JUST CLAY COUNTY. EACH COUNTY THAT HAS TWO OR MORE HOSPITALS. WE ALL NEED TO SIGN UP TO DRAW DOWN THE DOLLARS. OBVIOUSLY, MORE THAN ONE FACILITY IN OUR REGION. EACH WOULD BENEFIT. 
          OUTDOES THE MONEY THEN COMING BACK WITH THE STATE AND THE FEDERAL DOLLARS, HOW DOES THAT GET DIVVIED UP? 
          >> AGAIN, WE WILL LOOK AT THE FORMULA AND SPECIFICS, HOWEVER AS A GENERAL RULE, SOMEONE WHO HAS MORE NET REVENUES, SOMEONE WHO HANDLES MORE MEDICAID PATIENTS GET MORE MONEY. 
          THIS IS BEING DONE ON THE FULL REGION IF DUFAULT COUNTY CITY, IF THE CITY COUNCIL GOVERNMENT SAYS NO, THEN THIS HAS BEEN A NICE EXPENDITURE OF OUR TIME BUT IT WON'T HAPPEN. 
          >> THE OTHER COUNTY, THEY CANNOT PURCHASE A PAID BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAVE ONE HOSPITAL AND YOU HAVE HAVE MORE IN ORDER TO 
          PARTICIPATE. >> MY LAST QUESTION IS, WE WANT TO KEEP THIS FAIR FOR ALL HOSPITALS. 
          THEY ARE NOT HERE. ST. VINCENT IS THE ONE PUSHING THIS. BUT THEY HAVE THE OPTION TO OPT 
          [01:30:02]
          OUT IF THEY DON'T WANT TO >> THEY ARE AWARE. 
          THEY ARE AWARE, I CAN'T SPEAK TO THEM, BUT I AM SURE THEY ARE HAPPY. I CAN SAY, ON BEHALF OF BAPTIST THAT THEY TOLD ME I CAN SHARE THAT WITH YOU THEY ARE IN FULL SUPPORT OF WHAT WE ARE DOING AND THEY WILL BE ONE OF OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR. 
          >> I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT. 
          NO KNOCK ON THE MEDICAL BUT I WANT THE PUBLIC TO KNOW HOW FORTUNATE WE ARE TO HAVE THE ST. I HAVE SHARED THIS PRIVATELY BUT OF THE FIVE HOSPITALS, THE BEST PATIENT CARE SHE GOT WAS HERE. 
          I KNOW THAT WE NEED TO HELP FILL THE GAP SO THE HOSPITALS CAN CONTINUE. WE CAN CONTINUE TO PROVIDE EXCELLENT CARE FOR ALL PATIENTS INCLUDING THOSE WHO ARE ON MEDICARE. I'M VERY GRATEFUL THAT WE CAN FILL THIS GAP. I DON'T LOVE. 
          >> THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT THE TAXPAYER THIS IS NOT A TAX. 
          >> THEY LEGALLY CANNOT PASS THIS ALONG TO OTHER PATIENTS. 
          >> YES AND YOUR ORDINANCE THERE IS LANGUAGE TO THAT EFFECT. 
          IF FOR SOME REASON, SOMEONE HAS A PROBLEM AND INITIATES LITIGATION, WE AGREE THAT WE WILL IDENTIFY THE COUNTY ONE 100%. THAT WON'T HAPPEN BUT, YOU NEVER 
          KNOW IN THIS WORLD. >> WE COULD NOT DO IT WITHOUT PEOPLE GOOGLE FULLY PAID. WE HAVEN'T DONE IT FOR 100 YEARS 
          AND WE WON'T START. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? 
          >> CENTER THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO 
          HEAR FROM YOU TODAY. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSIONS WAY 
          MOTION? >> PUBLIC HEARING. 
          >> LET'S OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE? I SEE NONE, WE WILL CLOSE THE HEARING AND BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD. 
          >> MOVE FOR APPROVAL. >> IN CONNECTION WITH THE ORDINANCE IN YOUR BOOK, AFTER MEETINGS TODAY, IN CONNECTION WITH THE NOTICE BY MAIL PROVISION THE NOTICE PROVIDES FOR NOTICE BY MAIL UPON THE INITIAL ASSESSMENT. 
          WE HAVE STRENGTHENED THE LANGUAGE SO NOT ONLY WILL WE PUBLISH IT IN THE PAPER, BUT THE THREE HOSPITALS WILL RECEIVE THE ACTUAL NOTICE BY MAIL. IN THE FUTURE WE WILL ALSO DO 
          THE NOTICE BY MAIL. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSIONS? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED, IT CARRIES 5-0. 
          [20.  5:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as can be heard - Public Hearing on Petition to Establish the Creekview Community Development District (C. Grimm)]
WE WILL GO TO NUMBER 22 ESTABLISHED THE DEVELOPMENT 
          DISTRICT. >> FOR CONNECTION WITH NUMBER 20 AND 21 YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A PETITION FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT AND FOLLOWING THAT PRESENTATION YOU WILL HAVE AN ORDINANCE THAT FOLLOWS ALONG WITH THE ACTUAL CREATION. 
          HERE ON BEHALF OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WE WILL HAVE COUNSEL 
          [01:35:04]
WHO HAS A PRESENTATION FOR YOU AND THERE ARE ALSO REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE DEVELOPERS IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS 
          AS WELL. >> GOOD EVENING, HAPPY TO BE HERE WITH YOU. I'M FROM THE FARM OF HOPPING GREENS AND SAM'S. FOR CONSIDERATION OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE GREEK VIEW COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT I WILL REFER TO THE DISTRICT WHICH IS QUITE A MOUTHFUL. 
          SO, THE PURPOSE IS TO CONSIDER THE ESTABLISHMENT, THE DISTRICT IS LOCATED IN EASTERN CLAY COUNTY. 
          I WANT TO REALLY HONE IN ON THE FACT THAT CREATION OF THIS IS NOT ZONING APPROVAL. IT IS A SPECIAL-PURPOSE UNIT OF GOVERNMENT. JUST GENERALLY, I KNOW I HAVE BEEN WITH YOU BEFORE BUT IT BEARS REMINDING WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS. THIS IS A SPECIAL-PURPOSE UNIT OF GOVERNMENT CREATED UNDER CHAPTER 190. 
          THE SPECIAL-PURPOSE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE IT HAS LIMITED POWERS. 
          NO GENERAL-PURPOSE POWERS LIKE POLICE POWERS OR ZONING AUTHORITY OR DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY. 
          IT IS CREATED FOR PURPOSES OF'S DREAM WIND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. 
          TK CANNOT TAKE ACTION INCONSISTENT WITH PROVISIONS WITH THE STATE OR LOCAL ( INDISCERNIBLE ) IT CAN'T CREATE ITS OWN ZONING AUTHORITY OR ANYTHING THAT OCCURS IN ITS OWN AUTHORITIES. THE PROPOSED MAP PERSPECTIVE, YOU WILL SEE 745 ACRES. IT IS NORTH OF SAND RIDGE ROAD AND SOUTH OF RUSSELL ROAD. SO IN TERMS OF INFRASTRUCTURE, I WILL NOTE THE PETITION REQUIRED US TO PRODUCE THE CONSTRUCTION TIMETABLE WHICH IS PROPOSED FROM MAINTAINING FAVORABILITY WE PROPOSE AN ANTICIPATE THE INSTRUCTION WILL BE FINISHED AROUND 2030. THE IMPROVEMENTS WE CONTEMPLATE BEING BUILT OR ACQUIRED BY THE DISTRICT INCLUDE MASTER STORMWATER IMPROVEMENTS MASTER ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS WHICH INCLUDE LOCAL ROADWAYS AS WELL AS COUNTY ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS. 
          MASTER WATER AND SEWAGE SYSTEMS AS WELL AS THE MASTER AMENITY FEATURE AND LANDSCAPE AND IRRIGATION. 
          SOUL, ADVANTAGES OF THE DISTRICT AND WE GET THIS QUESTION AS IT RELATES TO A COMPARISON BETWEEN A SID AND HOA. 
          ONE BENEFIT IT'S NOT UNLIKE A COUNTY WHERE THE DISTRICT HAS ACCESS TO FINANCE WILL BOND FINANCING. 
          COMPLETELY PUBLIC MULTIPLE PUBLIC HEARINGS, NOTICES AND ALL TYPES OF DISCLOSURES TO END-USERS AS TO WHETHER THEY ARE ACQUIRING WHEN THEY BUY PROPERTY IN THE DISTRICT. 
          THE LIKELIHOOD IS THE DISTRICT WOULD ISSUE BONDS TO FINANCE THE IMPROVEMENTS I SPOKE TO YOU ABOUT. 
          THE ASSESSMENT SECURING BONDS THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR ENHANCED INFRASTRUCTURE, AMENITIES AND THOSE SORTS OF THINGS. 
          FROM THE TRANSPARENCY PERSPECTIVE, PUBLIC NOTICE YOU WILL SEE IF YOU WERE TO BUY A PIECE OF PROPERTY WOULD SHOW UP. 
          THERE'S ALSO NOTICES OF ASSESSMENT AND DISCLOSURES REQUIRED IN EVERY AGREEMENT THAT OCCURS. 
          PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY ARE GETTING WHEN THEY BY THE PROPERTIES. ANOTHER ADVANTAGE IS, THEY DON'T FAIL, IT'S LIKE ASKING IF A CITY OR COUNTY FAILS. 
          DISTRICTS ARE REQUIRED TO MEET ALL OF THE PROVISIONS IN TERMS OF ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORTS AND AUDITING AND REPORTING TO THE STATE GOVERNMENT. IF THERE WAS THEY CERTIFIED OF TAX ROLL PUBLIC RECORDS ARE ALSO IMPLIED WHEN IT COMES TO THE 
          [01:40:35]
DISTRICT ALL RECORDS ARE PUBLIC. ALL OF THE THINGS I TALKED TO ABOUT THERE ARE ANNUAL AUDITING REQUIREMENTS. 
          THERE IS A WEBSITE THAT IS REQUIRED TO BE MAINTAINED INCLUDING POSTING AGENDAS. THE COUNTY, EACH YEAR RECEIVES THE DISTRICT'S BUDGET FOR REVIEW AND WE DON'T USUALLY GET FEEDBACK BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS USUALLY REQUIRED BY STATUTE THE REASON FOR ALL OF THIS IS IT IS CHEAPER FINANCING THIS ALLOWS STREAMLINING OF THE COSTS. 
          THERE IS RELATIVELY EARLY TURNOVER AS COMPARED TO AN HOA. 
          RESIDENTS TAKE CONTROL AND CONTROL THEIR OWN DESTINY. 
          I KNOW I'VE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE EXPRESSED FRUSTRATION OVER AS IMPORT DOCUMENTS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT TYPICALLY PUBLIC RECORDS. ONE OF THE BIG REASONS THAT PEOPLE WRITE CDS IS THE ENHANCED LEVEL OF SERVICE PARAPROFESSIONAL STAFF REQUIREMENTS TO KEEP UP A STANDARD OF MAINTENANCE AND AMENITY FACILITIES. 
          AND ENHANCE PROGRAMMING AND SERVICES ANY EVENT IT'S ALSO LONG-TERM BENEFITS TO THE COUNTY, ONE OF THE BIG BENEFITS WE ARE WORKING ON, IS AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF OFF-SITE IMPROVEMENT WHERE THE CDC CAP PARTNER WITH THE COUNTY THAT WILL ALLOW SYNERGY BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENTS. 
          THERE ARE STAPLE FINANCING'S YOU DON'T NEARLY AS MANY COMPLAINTS ON CDS BECAUSE JEFF ACTUAL STAFF MONITORING THE DEVELOPMENT MANAGERS ANY GROWTH INCLUDING WATER SEWAGE IS PAID BY THE DEVELOPER WITHIN THESE PROJECTS. GENERAL PROTECTION IF I'M SITTING HERE SLOUGHS THOUGH START TO SAID THAT IF A CDD DEFAULT IT BECOMES A GENERAL OBLIGATION OF THE COUNTY. 
          THE ONLY RECOURSE IS TO THE UNPAID PROPERTY. 
          NO CURRENT OR FUTURE LANDOWNERS CAN BE ASSESSED GOING ASSESSED PROPERTY GIVEN THE NOTICE I DISCUSSED WITHIN. 
          THERE'S NO ONGOING COST OF THE COUNTY. 
          THE STATE COUGHS THAT THE DISTRICT IS REQUIRED TO PAY EVERY YEAR. IN SUMMARY, THERE'S NO BURDEN ON LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. IT'S EXCELLENT FOR LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE COMPARED TO MULCH HOA SPIRIT THERE IS GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTABILITY OF THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SYNERGY BETWEEN LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. THE LAST LIKE. 
          SO, CONSIDERATIONS FOR ESTABLISHMENT. 
          UNDER CHAPTER 190 THERE ARE SIX PROVISIONS OUTLINED IN THE 
          [01:45:04]
PETITION. TALK THE TESTIMONY I HAVE WITH ME, JAR CONSIDERATIONS, THESE HAVE BEEN OUTLINED BETWEEN THE PRESENTATION, AS WELL AS THE PETITION TO SUPPORT OUR POSITION. DARBY HAPPY/OR ANSWER ANY 
          QUESTIONS. >> I SAY THE BONDS WILL BE USED FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE. ONE OF THOSE ELEMENTS IS MASTER AMENITIES. I SEE A PLAN FOR SEWER AND WATER, I'LL SEE ANY AMENITY PLAN. 
          >> THAT IS STILL PRELIMINARY. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY PLANS HAVE BEEN CONCEIVED AS OF YET. GENERALLY SPEAKING WHAT WOULD HAPPEN, WE WOULD HAVE A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN THAT WOULD GET VALIDATED HAS TO GO THROUGH VALIDATION WHERE THE FILE OF THE COMPLAINT, YOU WOULD HAVE A HEARING BEFORE THE JUDGE OF THE CIRCUIT COURT AND THE VALIDATION WOULD SHOW WHAT YOU WILL HAVE. 
          ANOTHER ROUND OF PUBLIC NOTICE AND TESTIMONY, AND THE PROPRIETY 
          OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN. >> IN PRELIMINARY PLANNING, OR ALL OF THE AMENITIES AT THE VILLAGE CENTER? 
          IS THAT WHAT THE PLAN IS? >> GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, AT THIS POINT, WE DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIFIC PLANS ON WHERE WE WOULD DO IT. 
          IT WOULD PROBABLY BE IN CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THE PROJECT. 
          IT COULD BE A TRAIL SYSTEM THE AMENITIES ARE COMMON BUT NOTHING 
          SPECIFIC. >> YOU DON'T HAVE A PLAN FOR WHERE THE POOL INTO THE SCORE WILL GO? 
          >> RIGHT NOW NO PLAN. WHEN WE DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT? YES. IT IS A WAYS AWAY. 
          >> TELL ME WHAT THE APF ROAD IS. >> IF YOU RECALL IT HAS BEEN MONTHS WHERE WE ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WHERE THEY WILL BE CONSTRUCTING AND APF ROAD, THEY WILL CONSTRUCT PARTS OF THE ROAD WHICH IS A DOTTED LINE THAT WE PROVIDE CREDITS TO THEM. 
          ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES. >> WE HAVE TESTIMONY FROM THE TRUSTEES. I THINK THERE WAS ONLY THREE OF 
          THEM BUT THERE'S FIVE OF THEM. >> TWO DIFFERENT ONES, ONE IS THE INITIAL BOARD. THOSE FIVE MEMBERS WOULD BE LIKE YOU ALL. THE BOARD MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. 
          HE WANTS THE DISTRICT IS ESTABLISHED THESE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE WITH PROFESSIONAL STAFF THAT HAD BEEN ENGAGED TO WORK ON THEIR PRELIMINARY MATTERS. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING. 
          THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE THE SAME. 
          BUT GREG RAFE L WHO PROVIDED THE STATEMENT OF REGULATORY BECAUSE HE IS THE FINANCIAL ADVISOR TO THE DISTRICT. 
          [01:50:02]
HE HAD PRETRIAL TESTIMONY. SCOTT WILDE IS THE PROJECT ENGINEER MAY BE THE ENGINEER AND HE HAS PROVIDED EVIDENCE FOR THE SIX FACTORS. NONE OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE THE 
          BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. >> I KNOW IT IS CONFUSING. 
          THE FINANCIAL BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, IT REQUIRES US IN THE PETITION TO NAME THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS BUT WITHIN 90 DAYS, THEY ARE REQUIRED TO GO THROUGH AN ELECTION PROCESS. 
          THE LANDOWNERS CAST BALLOTS UNTIL YOU REACH THE SIX YEAR THRESHOLD AND ULTIMATELY THE BOARD MEMBERS WILL BE ELECTED THROUGH THE SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS EVERY NOVEMBER. 
          THOSE WILL BE ON THE SAME BALLOT. 
          >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT AND I AM SURE YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD BY STAFF, WITH OUR NEW ORDINANCE THAT THE RESIDENTS WILL BE ASSESSED FOR MAINTENANCE AND 
          IMPROVEMENTS. >> THEY ARE ACTUALLY, THE CDC 
          WILL KEEP OWNERSHIP OF THE ROAD. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? 
          >> THAT BRINGS UP A QUESTION. SINCE I AM PAINFULLY AWARE OF DECISIONS MADE IN THE PAST, THIS DECISION BEING MADE TO KEEP ROADS AND NOT TURN THEM OVER TO THE COUNTY AND THOSE THINGS, 
          CANNOT EVER CHANGE? >> WE THINK THIS IS MORE BENEFICIAL TO THE CITIZENS LIVING IN THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE OF THE REASONS JENNIFER EXPLAINED, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AC/DC AND HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION. 
          THEY HAVE FINANCIAL SECURITY THAT WILL NOT FALL WHEREAS WITH THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION IT COULD FAIL AND THEY WOULDN'T HAVE THE BACKING TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES. 
          >> 25 YEARS LATER THEY CAN SAY HERE ARE THE COUNTY ROADS. 
          >> IT IS AC/DC AND NOT HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION. 
          >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> WE DON'T NEED A PUBLIC HEARING WITH THIS ONE BUT FOR THE NEXT ONE. 
          >> LET'S OPEN PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM NUMBER 20. 
          IT IS THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT. 
          DOES ANYONE WANT TO SPEAK ON THAT ISSUE. 
          I SEE NONE, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING IT BACK 
          TO THE BOARD. >> WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE PETITION FOR CREEK VIEW CDS D. WE HAVE A SECOND. 
          ANY OTHER DISCUSSION. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. 
          ANY OPPOSED? IT CARRIES 5-0. 
          WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM 21 WHICH IS A PUBLIC HEARING FOR CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE CREATING THE CREEK VIEW CDD. 
          >> THIS IS STILL ORDINANCE THAT WILL CREATE IT FOR THE COUNTY. 
          >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME? 
          >> OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 21. 
          IS ANYONE INTERESTED IN SPEAKING, I SEE NONE WE WILL GO TO THE BOARD FOR A MOTION. TANGIBLE FOR APPROVAL. 
          >> SECOND. >> HE WAS TRYING TO GET IN 
          THERE. >> I HEARD WAYNE FIRST. 
          >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND PERIOD ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED, IT CARRIES 5-0. 
          >> THAT FINISHES OFF OUR TIME CERTAIN SAID WE WILL GET BACK ON

TRACK WITH OUR AGENDA WHICH IS ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, DISCUSSION AND UPDATES ON CARES ACT AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN UPDATE. 
          >> THE ALLOCATION AS YOU KNOW THIS LOOKS A LITTLE DIFFERENT BECAUSE WE ARE NOW ONE 100% VALIDATED. 
          WE ARE DONE. >> YOU CAN SLEEP GOOD TONIGHT. 
          THANK YOU TO THE HARD WORK FROM MEGHAN TO GET IT VALIDATED. 
          SO, GOING ONTO THE NEXT PHASE WHICH IS AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN. 
          WE HAVE BEEN REQUESTING FUNDS WITH THE CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS. WE HAVE MET WITH THE SHERIFF TO DISCUSS POTENTIAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES. 
          [01:55:01]
THE GRANTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE AND HOW WE CAN USE THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN MONEY. WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH STAFF TO GET THE BEST CONSIDERATIONS. 
          HOW IT AFFECTS NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET AND THE FACT THAT THE MONEY IS GOOD FOR FOUR YEARS AND HOW THAT LOOKS. 
          WILL BRING THE PLAN BACK TO THE BOARD. 
          >> I WILL STEP OUT OF THE WAY AND LET VICTORIA TALK ABOUT THE 
          RENTAL ASSISTANCE. >> CAN I ASK YOU. 
          I HAVE HAD A FEW CITIZENS ASKED ME WHY IT IS TAKING SO LONG TO HAVE ANY PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF OUR PLAN. 
          THEY ARE AWARE, THE PRESIDENT STARTED TALKING ABOUT THE RESCUE PLAN IN THE EARLY SPRING AND NOW WE ARE INTO SUMMER. 
          CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT? >> WE RECEIVED OUR MONEY ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO. WE ARE ONLY ONE MONTH INTO THIS AS FAR AS THE COUNTY IS CONCERNED. 
          THIS IS STILL UNDER REVIEW TO MAKE THE OFFICIAL GUIDANCE. 
          IT WILL PROBABLY BE PREMATURE FOR THE COUNTY TO MAKE ANY DECISIONS UNTIL IT IS FINALIZED. THAT IS WHY WE ARE MEETING WITH THE COMMISSIONERS TO START DOWN THE PROCESS. 
          THIS IS SLOWER THAN CARES ACT. YOU UP FOR YEARS TO SPEND THE MONEY. I THINK IT IS PRUDENT THAT THE COUNTY SEES HOW WE CAN USE THE MONEY IN THE BEST WAY CONSIDERING OUR NEEDS CURRENTLY AND WHAT THE NEEDS WILL LOOK 
          LIKE IN THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. >> THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN 
          INFRASTRUCTURE. >> THAT BILL HAS NOT BEEN PASSED 
          AND IT WILL BE DIFFERENT. >> I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT. 
          >> THERE ARE A COUPLE OF OTHER BILLS GOING THROUGH, BUT ADJACENT BILLS AND THERE'S THE LIFT BACK STILL GOING THROUGH OR HAVE BEEN APPROVED. THERE ARE SEVERAL POTS OF MONEY THAT WE WILL TALK ABOUT OVER THE NEXT 3-6 MONTHS. 
          >> I WOULD SAY, ONCE THE GROUP COMES UP WITH A GAME PLAN OR SUGGESTIONS, WE WILL BE VETTING THOSE WITH A WORKSHOP TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THE THOUGHT PROCESSES ON WHERE THE MONEY SHOULD BE SPENT AND THE AVAILABILITY FOR INPUT ON THAT. 
          >> GETTING THE GARBAGE TRUCKS EMPLOYEES. 
          >> GETTING PEOPLE A RIDE ON THE GARBAGE TRUCK AND YOU MAY HAVE A 
          DEAL. >> WE WILL GO ON TO RENTAL

          THE SAME NUMBER AND TOTAL APPLICATIONS RECEIVED. 
          THE ONES THAT WERE SUBMITTED, WE HAVE APPROVED A TOTAL OF 207 APPLICATIONS AND HAVE APPROVED FUNDING OF OVER $1 MILLION. 
          WE HAD THE GOAL AND WE REACHED IT. 
          THEN WE HAD A TOTAL REJECTED APPLICATION OF 172. 
          REJECTION DUE TO DUPLICATE APPLICATIONS OR ACCOUNTING LOCATION. A LOT OF THEM ON THE COUNTY LINE AND ADJACENT COUNTIES. I THINK I AM NEXT ON THE AGENDA AS WELL FOR THE NEXT SECTION. I WILL JUST SLIDE INTO THAT. 
          I DO HAVE SOME REQUESTED CHANGES. 
          WE HAVE FINALIZED THE FINAL -- FIRST ROUND OF ASSISTANT THAT TRACK ASSISTANCE AND WE STILL HAVE $5 MILLION TO SPEND. 
          WE WOULD LIKE TO REOPEN THE APPLICATION PROCESS AND CONTINUE COVERING THE ITEMS YOU APPROVED. NOT TO EXCEED 15 MONTHS PER APPLICANT AND TO COVER RENTAL UTILITIES LIKE WATER, ELECTRIC AND INTERNET SERVICES. I AM REQUESTING THAT YOU APPROVE THAT WE USE THE EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE IN THE FULL FORM SO THAT WOULD COVER COVERAGE IN THE FORM OF HOMELESSNESS. 
          I WOULD COVER A LOT OF THE EMERGENCY BECAUSE. 
          BECAUSE. WHEN PEOPLE CALL AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY BEING EVICTED, OR THEY NEED A CHANGE OF RESIDENCY BECAUSE THEY ARE LIVING IN A PLACE THAT IS TOO EXPENSIVE AND LOOKING TO GET INTO LOWER COSTS THAT WOULD HELP. 
          WE CAN PAY FOR SECURITY DEPOSITS OR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE% PRESIDENT THE FIRST MONTH'S RENT. 
          WE CAN ALSO COVER THINGS LIKE MOVING EXPENSES WHICH CAN BE QUITE EXPENSIVE ESPECIALLY THE ELDERLY. 
          [02:00:03]
ALSO THE TRANSITIONAL SPACE. IF SOMEONE IS CURRENTLY HOMELESS, WE CAN DO AN EMERGENCY SAY IN A HOTEL TO GET THEM OFF OF THE STREETS WHILE WE HELP THEM FIND A RENTAL PROPERTY. 
          THAT WOULD COVER THOSE COSTS. I'M ASKING TO EXTEND THE COST. 
          >> ANY QUESTIONS? >> WHO DO YOU PROPOSE TO DELIVER THESE SERVICES FOR THE HOMELESSNESS FOR INSTANCE? 
          >> SO THE HOMELESSNESS -- WE CURRENTLY WOULD COVER, I HAVE A STAFF OF FIVE PEOPLE WORKING WOULD BE ON THE RENTAL PROGRAM. 
          WE WOULD IDENTIFY A STAFF MEMBER THAT COULD SPECIFICALLY WORK WITH HOMELESSNESS STABILIZATION. THEY CALL OUR NUMBER, AND THEN WE DO AN ASSESSMENT AND THAT PERSON WILL WORK WITH THEM. 
          >> YOU ARE SEEING INTERNAL? SANCHEZ, WE HAVE PEOPLE ON STAFF 
          TO DEAL WITH THIS. >> IT -- IT IS SAFE TO SAY WE TAKING CARE OF THE ( INDISCERNIBLE ). 
          >> OPENING IT UP FOR 12 MONTHS WAS A BIG HELP FOR THOSE BEHIND. 
          I DO THINK WE HAVE REACHED THE MOST NEEDY. 
          WE SAW PEOPLE CALLING AND NEEDING ASSISTANCE. 
          MAYBE THEY WERE NOT BEHIND CURRENTLY BUT MAYBE THEY NEED ONE MONTH OR THEY DIDN'T KNOW THE PROGRAMS GOING ON, I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE AS LARGE OF A PUSH-UPS BEFORE BUT I DO THINK WE TARCHER -- TOUCHED THE MOST NEEDY. 
          >> WE HAVE HELP THE PEOPLE WHO REALLY NEED IT. 
          WE TALKED ABOUT NOT GETTING EMPLOYEES TO WORK. 
          THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS POTENTIALLY. 
          I'M THINKING, WE HAVE GIVEN THE MOST NEEDY PEOPLE WHAT THEY HAVE 
          NEEDED. >> WE HAVE SPENT A LITTLE OVER 
          1 MILLION. >> WE WERE GIVEN $6 MILLION. 
          TO THE COMMISSIONERS POINT WE HAVE -- YOU SAID YOU HAD 1200 APPLICATIONS. I ONLY SAW 400. 
          >> A LOT OF THOSE WERE DUPLICATE APPLICATIONS. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE GOING TO BE STARTING, IF YOU APPROVE THE NEXT ROUND WOULD BE AN IMPORTANT PROCESS WHERE DUDES ARE COVID WE DIDN'T HAVE PEOPLE COME IN. 
          NOW WE HAVE OPENED UP AND WE WILL ALLOW INDIVIDUALS TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND THEY CAN BRING THE ITEMS THEY NEED AND WORK THROUGH THE APPLICATION TOGETHER. 
          >> YOU THINK THAT WILL GIVE FASTER RESULTS? 
          >> YES, IT MADE THINGS GO SMOOTHLY BECAUSE WE WERE ABLE TO SAY, THIS FORM DOESN'T WORK BUT THIS ONE DOES. 
          JUST WORKING ONE-ON-ONE IMPROVES THE PROCESS. 
          >> ONE MORE QUESTION BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO YOU. 
          IN TERMS OF THE APPLICATION. IN ADDITION TO DOING IT ON THE WEBSITE CAN WE GET THE WORD OUT SO PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT HAVE HEARD ABOUT IT, YOU SAID WE DID HAVE SOME PEOPLE, WE CAN GET A WIDER SPREAD TO MAKE SURE THEY DO HEAR ABOUT IT? 
          >> ORIGINALLY, I DID AN INTERVIEW ON THE NEWS THAT HELP. 
          WE GOT SOME INTEREST FROM THAT. AND WORKING WITH THE LIBRARIES, WE PUT PAPER APPLICATIONS AT EACH LIBRARY SO THOSE WERE NOT COMPUTER SAVVY OR DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE COMPUTER, THAT HELPS. THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS WERE A BIG HELP BECAUSE WE WERE ABLE TO SPEAK TO THE LANDLORD SPIRIT MAY BE DOING THOSE, AND GETTING THE WORD OUT OTHER THAN THE WEBSITE. 
          I THINK SOMETIMES WE NEED TO EXPAND. 
          >> THAT IS WHY AS. >> JUST TO CLARIFY, THIS IS A TWO-YEAR PROGRAM. THIS GOES INTO THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. WE CAN KEEP THE APPLICATION PROCESS OPEN FOR ANOTHER 14 MONTHS OR SO. 
          >> THERE -- IT'S ALL EMERGENCY RENTAL. 
          THERE ARE TWO FUNDING SOURCES. THIS MONEY WE ARE USING RIGHT NOW, THE INITIAL $6 MILLION THAT ENDS IN DECEMBER. 
          STARTING IN JANUARY, IS THE NEW $6 MILLION WERE RECEIVED. 
          [02:05:07]
          >> SERVING THE SAME POPULATION. >> WE WILL HAVE MONEY FOR THE 
          NEXT TWO YEARS. >> WHEN THEY CAN MAKE THE APPOINTMENT TO MEET WITH YOU, I IMAGINE MOST OF THE POPULATION IS PROHIBITED. WILL YOU GO TO MEET WITH THEM? 
          >> WE HAVE TWO OPTIONS. WE JUST MOVED TO OUR NEW LOCATION WHICH WILL BE ON THE BUS ROUTE. 
          WE WILL HAVE THAT OPTION FOR INDIVIDUALS, THEN WE HAVE A PLAN TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITIES TO PARTNER IN KEYSTONE TO HAVE SOMEONE IN KEYSTONE ON EVERY WEDNESDAY. 
          >> THIS COULDN'T BE FURTHER FROM THE AREA. 
          A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE IN THIS. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T RENT FROM AN APARTMENT COMPLEX. THIS LOOKS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE'S. 
          THEY DON'T HAVE THE NICEST LANDLORDS OR THE NICEST SITUATIONS. YOU MOVED FURTHER AWAY FROM THEM THEN THE AREA. IF WE COULD HAVE THOSE APPOINTMENTS IN AREAS, EVEN MIDDLEBURG TO THEM, IT IS PROHIBITIVE TO GO THOSE ISLANDS. 
          >> EVEN IN ORANGE PARK, WE WILL GO INTO THE COMMUNITIES AND MEET THE PEOPLE WHERE THEY LIVE. WE CAN BRING OUR TEAM, WE WILL HAVE STAFF THERE. WE CAN BRING THE COMPUTER AND SCANNERS AND EVERYTHING WE NEED TO PROCESS. 
          SECONDLY, IF WE WERE TO ACCEPT COMMISSIONER BOLLA'S RECOMMENDATION THAT WE GIVE BACK MONEY WE SPENT MONEY THAT WAS FROM THAT MONEY SO WE WOULD HAVE TO GIVE BACK ADMINISTRATIVE 
          COSTS TOO, IS THAT CORRECT? >> WE MONITOR ALBERT EXPENSES SO THEY WOULD STAY UNDER THE 10% THRESHOLD. 
          WE HAVE NOT OVERSPENT THE 10% OF STAFFING, DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? 
          >> WE HAVE BUDGETED STAFFING AND INITIATIVE COST BASED ON THE 
          $6 MILLION NOT $1 MILLION. >> WHAT WE WOULD HAVE TO DO, THE STAFF THAT WE BROUGHT ALL THAT WAS TEMPORARY AND FUNDED OUT OF THIS, WE WOULD HAVE TO LET THEM GO. 
          WE WOULDN'T HAVE THE INCREASED ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS TO KEEP THE TWO IN LINE. THE OTHER THING I WANT TO POINT OUT IF WE TURN THE MONEY BACK OVER, AT THIS POINT YOU COULD DO THE HOMELESS STABILIZATION. IT'S BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU ARE SPENDING. I KNOW IT IS A WEIRD THING. 
          WE CAN ONLY SPEND 10% OF OUR TOTAL SPEND ON HOMELESS STABILIZATION. IF WE GO BACK AND GIVE THE $5 MILLION, WE ARE LIMITED ON WHAT WE CAN DO. 
          THOSE TWO THINGS TIGHT END. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE POINTED THAT OUT. IT'S NOT ONE OR THE OTHER. 
          THEY HAVE TO BE RAN TOGETHER. >> THAT BROUGHT UP ANOTHER POINT. IF WE GIVE THE FUNDING BACK IT GOES TO THE STATE AND THE STATE IS RUNNING THEIR OWN PROGRAM. 
          IT WOULD GO TO OTHER COUNTIES OR COMMUNITIES AND THEY WOULD STILL OFFER RENTAL ASSISTANCE BUT IT WOULD BE RAN BY THE STATE 
          INSTEAD OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. >> WE HAVE THE MONEY BUT WERE NOT GIVEN IT BACK UNTIL WE ARE SURE WE CAN TAKE CARE OF OUR PEOPLE. THAT MAY BE 0 GOING FORWARD, WE DON'T KNOW. LET'S OPEN UP THE APPLICATION AND MOVE FORWARD TO WHOEVER NEEDS IT AND WE WILL SEE WHERE 
          THE PROGRAM. >> CAN YOU TELL ME HOW THIS WORKS. THESE PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY APPLIED. THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE MONEY. 
          WE'RE HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING PEOPLE TO TAKE THE MONEY. 
          ARE THE SAME PEOPLE COMING BACK TO GET MORE MONEY, HOW ARE WE 
          GOING TO DO THE FUNDING? >> IF WE HAD ONLY COVERED, LET'S SAY SOMEONE WAS BEHIND, THEY COULD REOPEN THEIR APPLICATION AND REAPPLY. WE KEEP VERY DETAILED TRACKING INFORMATION SO WE DON'T PAY OVER THE ALLOTTED AMOUNT. 
          YOU CAN ALSO BE NEW PEOPLE. HAVE AN E-MAIL LIST OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE CALLED AND SAID THEY WERE NOT BEHIND AND NOW THEY ARE 
          [02:10:01]
ONE MONTH BEHIND. WE HAVE THE INTERESTS STILL. 
          RIGHT NOW OUR BIGGEST GAP WILL BE THE HOMELESS STABILIZATION. 
          THERE ARE SOME ORGANIZATIONS THAT ASSIST WITH THAT BUT THE FUNDING IS LIMITED. I THINK AGAIN, LIKE THE COMMISSIONER SUGGESTED, PUSHING ON THE OUTREACH AND MAKING SURE WE GET THE WORD OUT AND HAVE A COMMUNITY MEETING IN THE DISTRICTS AND BRING EVERYONE TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THEY KNOW 
          ABOUT THE PROGRAMS. >> THEY COULD SEND THE PEOPLE TO 
          THIS? >> I WORK WITH MERCY, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS A COVID EXPENSE THEY WILL CALL ME AND WE WILL MAKE 
          SURE WE GET THE PROCESS GOING. >> WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, IF YOU ARE PEOPLE THAT DECIDE NOT TO PAY RENT, IS THAT ALLOWED 
          NOW? >> THEY STILL HAVE TO APPLY AND QUALIFY THE SAME WAY. THERE STILL BE INCOME VERIFICATION. THEY HAVE TO FALL WITHIN THE LIMIT THAT IS THERE. THEY STILL HAVE TO WORK WITH THEIR LANDLORD. THE LANDLORD HAS TO ACCEPT THE FUNDING. IF THEY DECIDE THEY WILL JUST STOP PAYING THEIR RENT, THE EVICTION PROCESS CAN STILL HAPPEN, WE JUST WORK WITH THE LANDLORD TO STOP IT. 
          IT IS NOT ENCOURAGED. IT IS A LONG PROCESS TO GET THROUGH EVERYTHING. WE TRIED TO GO AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, IF YOU DON'T PAY THEIR ARE STILL RAMIFICATIONS THEN YOU MAY NOT QUALIFY. HIS GUARANTEE. 
          SO I ENCOURAGE YOU PAY WHAT YOU CAN AND WE FILL IN THE GAPS AS 
          NEEDED. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? 
          >> DO YOU HAVE A HUNCH AS TO WHEN THE GUIDANCE WILL BE COMPLETE AND WE CAN MOVE FORWARD AT LEAST TO BEGIN SUGGESTING 
          SOME THOUGHTS ON IT. >> MID JULY IS WHEN THE TREASURY IS SUPPOSED TO FINALIZE THEIR ROLE. 
          I WOULD SAY WE ARE TRYING TO TIME IT OUT BECAUSE AS WE DISCUSSED SOME OF THE ITEMS YOU MAY WANT TO MOVE OUT. 
          I THINK SOME OF THEM AFFECT THE BUDGET. 
          I THINK OVER THE NEXT MONTH, AT LEAST IN THE BEGINNING, WE DEFINITELY HAVE TO STRUCTURE THAT PLAN. 
          THERE ARE SOME THINGS, THAT ARE TIME SENSITIVE THAT WE WANT TO 
          ACCOMPLISH BIG. >> I WAS ASKING THE QUESTION BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO APPROVE SOMETHING AND THEN COME BACK TWO 
          WEEKS LATER AND IT IS CHANGED. >> ARE I KNOW THIS IS TIME SENSITIVE. WE WANT TO MOVE THAT FORWARD IF 
          WE CAN. >> I TALK ABOUT IT MORE THAN 
          TRASH. >> GOING BACK TO RENTAL ASSISTANCE WE WOULD NEED ACTION ON BOTH OF THESE ITEMS FROM THE 
          BOARD. >> I WAS GOING TO WAIT UNTIL WE GOT THROUGH THIS. IT IS THE NEXT ITEM ON THE 
          AGENDA. >> ONE LAST QUESTION ON THE HOMELESSNESS. DOES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DEFINED HOMELESSNESS, I'VE BEEN HOMELESS SEVERAL TIMES MOVING FROM SAN DIEGO TO FLORIDA. HOW DO WE DEFINE HOMELESSNESS? 
          >> I DON'T KNOW THE ACTUAL FEDERAL DEFINITION OF IT. 
          I DO KNOW IT IS NOT HAVING A PERMANENT RESIDENCE TO RESIDE. 
          FOR EXAMPLE THE FOLKS LIVING IN THE EXTENDED-STAY, THEY WERE CONSIDERED HOMELESS UNTIL THE 29TH DAY AND THEN CONSIDERED RESIDENTS. IT IS A LACK OF PERMANENT 
          HOUSING. >> IF WE ARE GOING TO DEFINE HOMELESSNESS, I THINK IT WOULD BE PRUDENT TO GET A DEFINITION TO GIVE US HONEST. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A HOME FOR A 
          WEEK OR A DAY, ARE YOU HOMELESS? >> THAT WOULD BE MORE WHERE THE TRANSITIONAL COSTS WOULD BE. MAYBE THEY ARE BEING EVICTED IN THEIR HOME WILL NOT BE READY FOR, AND THEY WOULD STILL HAVE TO QUALIFY AND SHOW PROOF, BUT MAYBE THEY ARE WAITING, THE NEW LEASE WON'T BE THERE FOR THREE MORE WEEKS. 
          MAYBE THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO STAY IN A HOTEL FOR THREE WEEKS OR FIND A TEMPORARY HOME BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE FAMILY OR THEY ARE NEW. THAT WOULD BE MORE WHERE THE 
          TRANSITIONAL STATE WOULD BE. >> I'LL BET YOU HUD DEFINES IT 
          SOMEWHERE. >> I WILL GET THAT. 
          [02:15:08]
          >> SO THE PEOPLE RUNNING THE PROGRAM FOR THE STATE LEVEL HAVE A DEFINITION OF HOMELESSNESS WHICH WE WILL USED TO COMPLY WITH. I DON'T THINK YOU WILL NEED TO READ THIS ENTIRE THING BUT THERE IS ONE ON THE STATE WEBSITE THAT 
          DEFINES A. >> IF I MAY AD, BUT DOES HAVE THE DEFINITION AND IT HAS FOUR CATEGORIES. 
          SO WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT BOTH OF THEM. 
          >> I AM NOT ABOUT REINVENTING THE WHEEL. 
          WE WILL DEFINITELY USE HUD AND THE DEPARTMENT OF CHILD AND 
          FAMILY FOR THAT GUIDANCE. >> DO WE WORK WITH ANY OTHER AGENCY OTHER THAN MERCY IN THIS AREA? 
          >> THERE ARE QUITE A FEW NONPROFITS THAT WE WORK WITH. 
          I WORK IN KEYSTONE AND ONE HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL ASSET. 
          SHE HAS BEEN REALLY GOOD WITH WORKING WITH THE PEOPLE THAT 
          NEED ASSISTANCE. >> THEY WOULD BE IN CONTACT WITH THIS LOT SOONER THAN WE WOULD. THIS DOESN'T HAVE CELL PHONE, 
          INTERNET, OR A CAR, OR HOMELESS. >> VETERAN SERVICES SINCE A LOT 
          OF PEOPLE OUR WAY AS WELL. >> WE WILL MOVE OFFICIALLY FROM NUMBER SEVEN TO NUMBER EIGHT WHICH IS EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE UPDATE. REMEMBER RECOMMENDATION SO LONG YOU HAVE YOUR APPLICATION. OPEN? 
          >> I DON'T WANT TO PUT AN END DAE ON IT. 
          THE ISSUE WE RAN INTO THIS TIME, NOW THAT PEOPLE ARE CONTACTING US WHILE THE APPLICATION IS CLOSED AND I CAN'T ASSIST THEM SO THEY ARE ON A WAITING LIST. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE THAT IS 
          POSSIBLE. >> WE SHOULD REOPEN THE APPLICATION PROCESS AND ALSO, APPROVE THE TRANSITIONAL HOUSING 
          AND THE HOMELESS STABILIZATION. >> SECOND. 
          >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. THE MOTION CARRIES 4-1. 
          >> THANK YOU VICTORIA. >> MR. CHAIRMAN IF I MAY. 
          ON THE REPORT WOULD YOU LIKE THAT BIMONTHLY OR MONTHLY? 
          >> IF WERE GOING TO OPEN THE APPLICATIONS RIGHT AWAY? 
          >> I WOULD LIKE TO OPEN THEM JULY 1. 
          THAT WOULD GIVE US A WEEK TO GET EVERYTHING FINALIZED AND 
          COMPLETED. >> DOES ANYONE HAVE A 
          SUGGESTION? >> I RECOMMEND MONTHLY. 
          >> THIS IS A SLOW MOVING TRAIN. THE MONTHLY UPDATE WOULD BE 
          GOOD. >> SO THE 13TH OF JULY, THAT'S 
          GOOD. >> PERFECT.

          LOOKING TO REPLACE THE AIR COOLED CHILLERS WITH A WATERCOOLED CHILLER WHICH WOULD HAVE LONGER LONGEVITY. 
          IT WOULD SERVE THE JAIL BETTER AS WELL.

TWELVE PEOPLE LOOK TO BE PRIME CONTRACTORS WHO ATTENDED THE MEETING BUT WE ONLY RECEIVED ONE BID. EVERYONE IS AWARE OF THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS. NOT TOO MANY WANT TO COMMIT TO GOVERNMENT PROJECTS BECAUSE THERE'S COMMERCIAL STUFF GOING ON. IF I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, ABOUT THE BID. SEG DOES HAVE PROJECTS THAT ARE DOING IN THE PAST.

CAN WE PUT UP FOR BID AND ONLY END UP WITH ONE AGAIN WE HAVE DELAYED IT BY 60 DAYS OR SO. WE DIDN'T FEEL THE NEED FOR THAT BUT WE DID FEEL IT WAS IMPORTANT TO BRING TO THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS TO HAVE THE CONVERSATION.

          AND AN UPDATE ON UPDATING THE PROJECT LIMITS WITHIN THE PROGRAM LIMITS. WE WILL DEMONSTRATE THAT WITH A SLIDE.

ANY OPPOSED, IT CARRIES 5-0. WE ARE ONTO NUMBER 14. 
          >> ITEM 14 IS THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE AGREEMENT FOR THE SWEAT PROGRAM. 
          THIS ALSO A ONE-YEAR EXTENSION FOR THE NEW COMMISSIONERS. 
          I CAN DO A QUICK BRIEF OF THE SWEAR PROGRAM IF YOU LIKE. 
          IT IS A YOUTH DETENTION PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES AN ALTERNATIVE TO DETENTION. THEY WOULD GO THROUGH THE SWEAT PROGRAM BACK IN 2017 I WORKED WITH THE JUDGE TO RECEIVE FUNDING. SINCE WE PUT THE PROGRAM IN PLACE, THIS EXTENDS THE AGREEMENT FOR ONE MORE YEAR. 
          SOME OF YOU MAY BE AWARE THAT THE STATE DID REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING. HOWEVER THE CURRENT AGREEMENT EXPIRES ON JUNE 30. TO GIVE THAT ALIVE THEY HAVE TO KEEP IT UNDER THE SAME TERMS AND CONDITIONS. 
          HOWEVER THEY HAVE NOTIFIED ME THAT THEY ARE GOING TO OFFER A SECOND AMENDMENT THAT REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING BECAUSE UNFORTUNATELY WE ONLY RECEIVE 135,000 FOR THE NEXT STATE BUDGET YEAR. I WILL COME BACK BEFORE YOU IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS WITH A SECOND AMENDMENT. 
          REAL SUPPORTIVE OF THE PROGRAM WE DON'T HAVE TO RENEGOTIATE AN AGREEMENT THIS WILL COME BACK WITH AN AMENDMENT WITH THE FULL 
          FUNDING FOR NEXT YEAR. >> HOW WILL THAT IMPACT THE PROGRAM. LAST YEAR WAS 242,000. 
          OUR PROGRAM MANAGER WE WILL MEET NEXT WEEK AND ALSO INVOLVE THE JUDGES I INVITED THEM TO COME TO A FUTURE MEETING TALKING OVER THE PLAN. I DIDN'T WANT TO POINT OUT, THIS SWEAT PROGRAM REGARDING CLEAN THE ROADWAYS. 
          THEY DID PICK UP OVER 8,000 POUNDS OF ROADWAY GARBAGE JUST UNDER THIS LAST YEAR'S PROGRAM. 
          THAT WAS WITH THE CHALLENGES WE HAVE WITH COVID. 
          THE COUNTY DOES GET A GOOD BENEFIT FROM THIS AND IT SAVES 
          US MONEY ON DETENTION COSTS. >> THEY WERE OUT ON THE COUNTY ROAD AND TWO CREWS PICKING UP AND IT WAS RAINING THAT MORNING. 
          THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS A GREAT PARTNER OF THIS PROGRAM. 
          THE YOUTH ARE ALLOWED MENTORING AND TUTORING SESSIONS.

          THE LAST THING I HAVE, I THINK THERE IS A BILL ON THE GOVERNOR'S DESK ABOUT HOME BUSINESSES. 
          IT IS AN IMPINGEMENT UPON HOME RULES OF ITS PAST AND SIGN. 
          IT IS NOT A GOOD BILL FOR RESIDENTS. 
          IF YOU HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE NUMBER YOU MAY WANT TO CALL THEM AND VOICE YOUR CONCERN ABOUT THAT. 
          IT WILL ALLOW ANY BUSINESS TO BE CONDUCTED IN A RESIDENTIAL ZONING AREA. ONCE AGAIN, STAY TUNED AND STAY IN CONTACT WITH YOUR REPRESENTATIVES IN TALLAHASSEE.

          I KNOW THIS IS A STICKY SUBJECT. WE HAVE DANCED AROUND THIS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THERE ARE AREAS I DON'T THINK SHOULD BE DEVELOPED. I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THEM. 
          THINK IT'S TIME FOR US TO TAKE A STAND AND SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH YOU CAN DEVELOP IN OTHER AREAS. SWITCHING SUBJECTS, THE GARBAGE ISSUE. I KNOW WE ARE DOING ALL WE CAN DO, BUT I HAD A BOSS CALM IN MONTHS OF OF SUBJECT AND SAY WE EITHER HAVE TO FIX THIS, AND I THINK THERE ARE OPTIONS WE NEED TO LOOK AT. IT'S TIME. 
          >> I DON'T THINK I CAN FOLLOW THAT UP. 
          I THINK YOU HAD SOME GREAT SENTIMENTS. 
          IN MY DISTRICT I WAS A COMMISSIONER. 
          WE HAD TO WATCH AS COUNTY THE CAMP BE DESTROYED AND IT IS A SHAME. HOMEOWNERS ARE LOSING THEIR VALUES AND WHO KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED THERE. 
          YOU FEEL FOR THESE PEOPLE. I HAD A HOMEOWNER CALL ME TODAY ABOUT A CODE ENFORCEMENT ISSUE AND CODE ENFORCEMENT ISSUES ARE REACHING A FEVER PITCH. THE HOMEOWNER SAID, AND I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD MAKE LIGHT OF THIS. 
          HE SAID I PUT MY LIFE SAVINGS INTO BUILDING MY HOME AND ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME I HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT. 
          I UNDERSTAND THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH WE CAN DO ESPECIALLY IF 
          [02:55:04]
SOMEONE HAS A HOMESTEAD AND THEY DON'T CARE. 
          OUR HANDS ARE TIED. THESE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO PUSH THE ISSUE WOULD NOT CLEAN THEIR HOMES THEY DON'T CARE IF THEY FILE LIENS AND THEY BUILD UP FINES, NOTHING ELSE HAPPENS. 
          HOMEOWNERS, WHO PUT THEIR LIFE SAVINGS INTO CLAY COUNTY WHO WANT TO LIVE HERE ARE STUCK. THEY TURNED TO THE COMMISSION FOR HELP, AND WE DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER. 
          I KNOW DIRECTOR STUART IS TAKING TIME OFF. 
          AT SOME POINT WE WILL HAVE TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO FOR THAT PROCESS. HE HAD TEN DAYS TO CLEAN IT UP. 
          HE'S A HABITUAL -- NOTHING WILL CHANGE UNTIL OCTOBER. 
          >> THE FLAVOR OF THE MONTH RIGHT NOW SEEMS TO BE CODE ENFORCEMENT ISSUES. AT ANY RATE. 
          >> DO YOU HAVE TO FILE A COMPLAINT CLICKS THEY COULD GET 
          SHOT OR WHATEVER ELSE. >> UNFORTUNATELY, I'M PRETTY SURE THE GOVERNOR JUST SIGNED A BILL THAT SAID YOU CANNOT FILE 
          IT ANONYMOUSLY. >> THAT DOES NOT PROTECT THE 
          PEOPLE. >> YOU GET A LOT OF NEIGHBOR TO NEIGHBOR VIEWS. I NORMALLY TELL MY HOA PRESIDENTS, YOU SIGN THE COMPLAINT AND THEN I KNOW IT HAS BEEN VETTED. IF I PERSONALLY KNOW ABOUT IT, I 
          WILL SIGN IT. >> THAT IS WHAT I SUGGEST. 
          USUALLY I DRIVE BY TO SEE IF HE HAS MERIT. 
          IF IT DOES I TALKED TO CHARISSE AND IF THEY SAY YES THERE IS ACTIONABLE OFFENSES THEN I SIGNED THE COMPLAINT. 
          >> WE ALSO HAVE, BEFORE THE BIG DOWNTURN EIGHT CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS WHO HAD AUTHORITY TO ARRANGE AND FIND THEIR OWN 
          ISSUES. >> IF I DON'T LIKE YOU, I JUST FILE A CODE ENFORCEMENT ON YOUR FENCE AND DO IT ANONYMOUSLY AND THAT FORCES THE GUYS OUT THERE. IT JUST GOT UNRULY. 
          AT THAT POINT IN MAKE SOMEONE RESPONSIBLE FOR TURNING IN. 
          >> I THINK THAT IS A GOOD IDEA. ONE THING I TALKED ABOUT, I MET WITH THE OWNER OF ( INDISCERNIBLE ) AND THEY HAVE A GREAT MISSION STATEMENT HOWEVER, WHENEVER IT WAS ASKED OR TOLD HE SAID THERE COULD BE MONEY RELATED FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE IN FINANCIAL DISTRESS HE SAID THAT WOULD BE GOOD. 
          THE DECISION HAS BEEN MADE. >> I THINK IT'S TIME TO GO ON RECORD. AS THERE ANYTHING BEEN FILED? 
          >> NOTHING HAS BEEN FILED. >> FINAL ITEM, WAS IT ON 
          [03:00:12]
WEDNESDAY, WHAT WAS THE DATE LAST WEEK WE DID THIS. 
          THURSDAY. THIS PAST THURSDAY WE OPENED UP NEPTUNE PARK AND DEDICATED THE NAME AND UNVEILED THE MEMORIAL TO THE AIRMAN ON BOARD THE NEPTUNE P2 THAT CRASHED IN THE AREA IN 1951. ONE OF THE GENTLEMAN INVITED, WAS MICHAEL CARLUCCI, HIS DAD MILTON, PASSED AWAY IN THAT CRASH. AND OF COURSE WE HAD MRS. PIERCE COMING FROM TENNESSEE WITH HER FAMILY. 
          HER DAD ALSO PAIRS. HE WAS ONE OF THE PILOTS. 
          SUBSEQUENTLY WE RECEIVED AN ITEM IN AN E-MAIL FROM MATT, A COUNCILMAN, HIS BROTHER MICHAEL WAS THERE AT THAT TIME AND I WOULD LIKE TO READ SOME OF THE E-MAIL HE SENT. 
          IT WAS A LOVELY GESTURE ON HIS PART. 
          DEAR CHAIRMAN A COMMISSIONER WORDS CANNOT UP SHOW THE APPRECIATION WE HAVE FOR THE THOUGHTFULNESS YOU HAD OF HONORING THIS GROUP. THE PASSING OF THE CRASH HAS BEEN A MYSTERY TO THE FAMILY. LOTS OF UNANSWERED QUESTIONS. 
          WITH THE RESEARCH THAT WAS DONE BY YOUR ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM AND THAT OF THE UNITED STATES NAVY WE NOW KNOW AND UNDERSTAND SO MUCH MORE. THIS OCCASION BROUGHT CLOSURE AND PRIDE TO MY BROTHER KNOWING OF HIS DAD'S COURAGE AND UNDERSTANDING SO MANY NAVY PLANES CRASH THAT AREA. 
          HE CONTINUED ON AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY EXCEPT YOU HAVE SHOWN KINDNESS AND PATRIOTISM TO THE FAMILIES WHO GAVE EVERYTHING. WE ALL TOO OFTEN TAKE IT FOR GRANTED IN A PLANE CRASH THAT WENT UNNOTICED BUT FELT BY SO MANY FOR SO MANY YEARS. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. 
          THANK YOU THE CLERGY FAMILY. I WOULD LIKE TO ENTER THAT INTO THE RECORD IF I COULD. I WANT TO THANK THE COUNCILMAN FOR TAKING TIME TO SEND THE NOTE. 
          >> IT WAS CHRONICLED ON THE FRONT PAGE THE DEDICATION OF NEPTUNE PARK. WE HAVE BEEN NOTICED BY THE WHOLE COMMUNITY IN THE GREATER JACKSONVILLE AREA FOR THAT 
          EFFORT. >> WE DO THINK EVERYONE. 
          WE DID HAVE. THEY HAVE SHOWN GREAT SUPPORT 
          FOR THE PROJECT. >> WITH THAT BEING SAID, THAT IS IT FOR TODAY. WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING AND STAYING WITH US.
