[00:10:03]

FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO US. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> NEXT ON THE LIST IS

[Clay County Bear Information - Janelle Musser, Northcentral Area Bear Biologist]

WHO HAS A? >> I WILL DO THE PRESENTATION. >> VERY GOOD.

>> MY NAME IS MIKE ORLANDO. I'M THE ASSISTANT BEAR COORDINATION COORDINATOR.

ONE OF OUR JOBS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT IS ACTUALLY TO REACH OUT TO CITIES AND COUNTIES AND TO INFORM THEM ON THE FLORIDA BLACK BEARS AND THE SITUATIONS GOING ON IN THEIR CITIES.

WE WERE ASKED TO COME TONIGHT TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON BLACK BEAR AND BLACK BEAR MANAGEMENT IN CLAY COUNTY. SOME OF YOU HAVE PROBABLY SEEN BEARS IN CLAY COUNTY WE CERTAINLY HAVE THEM. IF YOU LOOK ON THE MAP THERE IN THE CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE WE HAVE OVER 1200 ANIMALS IN THE AREA AND YOU GUYS ARE CERTAINLY WITHIN THE AREA OF.

OVERALL WE HAVE OVER 4,000 SHARES STATEWIDE. BUT THE AREA THAT YOU ARE IN AS THE MOST BEARS OF ANY SUBPOPULATION IN THE STATE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH OVER THE YEARS, THE INCREASE IN NOT ONLY BEARS BUT HUMANS TO THE STATE.

WE HAVE ROUGHLY 21 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE STATE. WITH AN EMERGING ROBUST THERE POPULATION GROWTH, WE HAVE GONE FROM THE RECOVERY PART OF BEAR MANAGEMENT INTO THE CONFLICT MANAGEMENT. MOST OF THE CONFLICT MANAGEMENT RESULTS AROUND SOMETHING THAT HUMANS I HAVE AROUND THEIR HOUSE. MOST LIKELY GARBAGE OR CAP FOOD OR BIRDSEED AND THE ANIMALS ARE LOOKING FOR AN EASY SOURCE OF FOOD.

PART OF OUR JOB IS ACTUALLY TO HELP MANAGE THE CONFLICT. A LOT OF THE MANAGEMENT COMES IN THE FORM OF EDUCATION OUTREACH AND THAT IS WHY I'M HERE TODAY, TO GIVE YOU INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE ABOUT REDUCING CONFLICT IN CLAY COUNTY. FOR THE MOST PART, BEARS ARE OMNIVORES BUT MOSTLY VEGETARIANS. THEY EAT 80% PLANT AND 20% MADE UP OF MEAT. MOST IS INSECTS. THEY DO THINK THEY NEED THINGS LIKE ARMADILLO AND POSSUMS. BUT WHEN THEY START GETTING CLOSE TO HUMAN HABITATION THEY START TO MOVE TO THE EASY SOURCE OF MEALS WHERE IT IS PETFOOD OR GARBAGE.

AND THOSE ANIMALS, THEY ARE NORMALLY SHY OF PEOPLE WHEN THEY GET CLOSE TO HUMANS, THEY CAN LOSE THEIR FEAR OF PEOPLE. WHAT WE TRIED TO DO IS GET EVERYONE ON THE SAME PAGE AND UNDERSTAND HOW TO LIVE IN AN AREA LIKE BEARS AND COYOTES FOR THE MOST PART IT COMES IN THE SOURCE OF RESIDENTIAL GARBAGE. SO REALLY, THE EASIEST THING THAT WE GO ON TO TELL PEOPLE IS TO SECURE THEIR GARBAGE. YOU CAN DO THAT IN A LOT OF WAYS.

JUST KEEPING YOUR GARBAGE INSIDE OF YOUR GARAGE UNTIL THE MORNING OF PICKUP THAT IS THE EASIEST WAY TO DO IT. THERE'S ALSO RETROFITTING CANS AND GARBAGE CANS AND THIS IS ONE WHERE WE HAVE. WE HAVE THE DESIGNS ON OUR WEBSITE.

YOU CAN PUT THAT TOGETHER. WITH THE PRICE OF WOOD IT MAY BE CHEAPER TO BUY THIS.

BUT THE GARBAGE CANS ARE TESTED BUT FACILITIES OUT WEST. THEY GET CERTIFIED TO BE BEAR

[00:15:02]

IF YOU ARE PUTTING GARBAGE OUT AND BEARS ARE GETTING INTO YOUR GARBAGE, THAT CAN BE A CODA VIOLATION AND WE REALLY DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. WE ARE REALLY TRYING TO GET THE INFORMATION OUT THERE SO PEOPLE CAN SECURE THEIR GARBAGE AND PET FOOD AND BIRDSEED APPROPRIATELY SO WE ARE NOT VIOLATING ANY RULES OR LAWS. THIS IS A MAP OF CLAY COUNTY.

THE RED THIS IS THE CAUSE ABOUT BEARS WE HAVE HIGH CALLS COME IN AND CAMP LANDING, OBVIOUSLY IS ONE OF THE LARGE TRACTS OF LAND THAT THE BEARS OCCUPIED. WE HAD A RESEARCH PROJECT OUT THERE. WE HAVE FOLLOWED THE BEARS AROUND.

YOU WILL HAVE MORE IN THOSE AREAS. CLAY COUNTY HAS BEARS AND AS THE MAP SHOWS THEY WILL BE ALL OVER THE COUNTY. ALMOST ALL OF THE CALLS ARE COMING IN AS CONFLICT USUALLY RELATED TO GARBAGE. THIS IS THE REASONING HERE.

SO THE LIGHT BLUE, IF YOU WANT TO LOOK, THE LIGHT BLUE IS GENERALLY THE INTERACTION PEOPLE LIKE BEARS AND THEY LIKE SEEING THEM. WE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO TAKE PICTURES FROM A DISTANCE. THAT COMES IN AS A GENERAL INTERACTION.

WE CAN GIVE PEOPLE GENERAL INTERACTION ABOUT BEARS TO KEEP OUT THEIR GARBAGE SO THEY DON'T HAVE THE CONFLICT. THE 34% IS IN THE GARBAGE. THAT IS THE HIGHEST WE HAVE.

THIS HAPPENS THROUGHOUT THE STATE. EVERYONE HAS THIS TYPE OF CONFLICT. THE AND GARBAGE PART IS WHAT WE CANS AND EVEN THE HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS MAY HAVE BEEN CHANGE IN TWO REQUIRED THIS AND OTHER PATES -- PLACES HAVE REQUIRED TO KEEP SECURE ANY ATTRACTANTS FROM BEARS. THE GREEN ARE THE BEARS THAT HAVE BEEN HIT BY CARS WHERE WE TAKE SCIENTIFIC COLLECTION DATA OFF OF THEM.

THERE'S NOT A LOT YOU CAN DO ABOUT THAT. THE BEAR CROSSING SIGNS ARE HELPFUL BUT SOMETIMES THEY RUN OUT IN FRONT OF CARS AND THERE'S NOT MUCH YOU CAN DO.

THIS IS NOT THE ENTIRE COUNTY. IF YOU LOOK ON THE MAP, IT IS THE ORANGE COLOR WITH ALL OF THE BEARS. IT IS RIGHT UP AGAINST THE BASIN.

LOTS OF BEARS ARE THERE AND THEY ARE MOVING INTO THE NEIGHBORHOODS.

THE ORDINANCE JUST SAYS, KEEP ANYTHING THAT ATTRACTS BEARS AWAY.

IT DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY TYPE OF MECHANICAL STRUCTURE, IT JUST SAYS KEEP EVERYTHING AWAY FROM THE BEARS. WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF SUCCESS IN SEMINOLE COUNTY.

IF YOU LOOK AT THIS. IF YOU LOOK OVER THE YEARS, WE HAVE STARTED TO SEE A DECREASE IN NOT ONLY THE GARBAGE BUT THE STRUCTURE AND OTHER THINGS. WE CONSIDER THINGS LIKE GOING INTO SOMEONE'S HOUSE A CORE COMPLAINT. FIVE YEARS AGO WE HAD 54% OF OUR CALLS COMING IN AS A CORE COMPLAINT AND NOW IT IS DOWN TO 32.

WE DON'T WANT BEARS COMING INTO PEOPLE'S HOUSES. THE ORDINANCES HELPING OVER A FIVE-YEAR PERIOD. AGAIN, BEAR RESISTANT GARBAGE CANS ARE BIG.

WE PUSH THOSE BECAUSE IT IS AN EASY SOLUTION. PEOPLE PUT IT IN THEIR GARBAGE CAN AND IT LOCKS. IT IS A NO-BRAINER SOLUTION. KEEPING THINGS IN YOUR GARAGE OR

[00:20:03]

THAT IS IT. DOES ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS? >> DO BLACK BEARS HIBERNATE?

SANCHEZ THEY DO. >> BLACK BEARS ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME BLACK BEARS THAT YOU HAVE IN TENNESSEE OR PENNSYLVANIA OR CANADA. IT IS PART OF THEIR PROCESS.

RIGHT NOW AND FACT IT'S A FANCY TERM THEY ARE JUST GETTING THE CALORIES THAT THEY CAN, I THINK JANELLE WAS DRIVING UP HERE AND SAW A BEAR ON 19 JUST GORGING ON ACORNS.

NORMALLY THEY WILL GET 5,000 CALORIES PER DAY. RIGHT NOW THEY ARE PUTTING ON 20,000 CALORIES PER DAY. THEY ARE EATING 20 HOURS OF THE DAY.

THEY ARE GETTING FAT FOR THE FOOD SHORTAGE. THE MISCONCEPTION IS HIBERNATION DRIVES COLD-WEATHER. THE FACT THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A LOT OF FOOD IN THE WINTER IS WHY THEY ARE PUTTING THE FOOD ON TO SURVIVE THE. FEMALES WHO ARE PREGNANT HAVE TO HIBERNATE. THIS HERE. THIS ONE WITH THE CANS IN OCTOBER. WE ARE GETTING MORE BECAUSE FROM THE AREA.

WE ARE TRYING TO DO AS MUCH OUTREACH AS POSSIBLE. WE ENDED UP REACHING OUT TO THE COMMISSIONER ABOUT THESE ISSUES APPRECIATE THE INVITE. YOU REALLY WANT TO START THINKING ABOUT THIS NOW SO AND FIVE YEARS, WHEN YOU HAVE THE REAL BEAR PROBLEMS GOING ON.

YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO BUILD ON. >> HAVE YOU SEEN FEWER CALLS SINCE THEY STARTED TO ADDRESS

THE GARBAGE ISSUES ARE NOT? >> SO, JANELLE MUSSER IS THE VIROLOGIST.

-- BIOLOGIST SO WE HAVE SEEN ACTION TAKEN AND IT DOES LOOK LIKE IT IS HELPING.

>> IT APPEARS THAT LOOKING AT THE STATISTICS, THE AMOUNT OF BEARS, THE GREEN ONES HAVE REALLY JUMPED IN THE LAST YEAR OR TWO WHAT IS GOING ON THEIR WAX ARE THIS -- IS THIS JUST

PEOPLE HITTING THEM WITH CARS? >> THIS IS A GOOD OBSERVATION. WHAT IS HAPPENING IS, THE BEAR POPULATION AND THIS PART OF THE STATE IS EXPANDING. YOU ARE RIGHT INSIDE OF THE CORRIDOR WHICH IS THE OSCEOLA TO OKAY LOOK CORRIDOR, THIS WHOLE AREA HAS A PRETTY GOOD MIGRATION OF BEARS MOVING NORTH AND SOUTH TO SOME DEGREE. BUT THESE BEARS ARE MOVING UP THROUGH THE AREA TO GET TO THE AREA. WE EXPECT THAT TO CONTINUE INDEFINITELY. YOU WILL SEE MORE BEARS AND AS MORE PEOPLE ARE MOVING AROUND THE ROADS YOU WILL HAVE BEARS HIT BY CARS IT IS INEVITABLE. WE TRIED TO DO AS MUCH AS WE CAN

TO REDUCE THAT. >> LET ME ASK ONE MORE QUESTION I REMEMBER YEARS BACK WHEN THEY QUIT THEIR HUNTING IN FLORIDA AND I SAID TO MYSELF, THERE'S NO REAL NATURAL PREDATORS FOR THE BEARS. WHAT IS THE LONG-TERM VIEW OF WHERE THIS WILL GO, WILL THE POPULATION LEVEL OFF OR WILL IT BE LIKE FERAL CATS AT SOME POINT?

>> GOOD QUESTION. WE STOPPED THE ORIGINAL HUNT AND WE HAVE HAD TIME BETWEEN THAT WHICH WAS THE LAST HUNT IN 2015. WE HARVEST THE BEARS IN THE LAST HUNT.

FOR MANY REASONS WE STOPPED THE HARVEST BEAR HUNT. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY, TO MY

[00:25:08]

DECIDE. >> >> WE ARE HAVING INTERACTIONS NOW WHERE WE WILL HAVE MORE PEOPLE MOVING IN AND THIS WILL NOT GO AWAY.

THIS IS WHY WE PROMOTE, WE ARE PROMOTING TRYING TO REDUCE CONFLICT THROUGH NOT HAVING THE ATTRACTION TO GARBAGE. IF THERE IS A DECISION TO HUNT BEARS AGAIN, WE ARE NOT WAITING

FOR THAT DECISION WE ARE TRYING TO ADDRESS ALL OF THAT NOW. >> ONE LAST QUESTION WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED ACTION FOR A RESIDENT THAT HAS AXONAL CONTACT WITH A BEAR IN THE WOODS.

DO THEY SCREAM, RUN, WHAT DO THEY DO? >> GREAT QUESTION.

OUT IN THE WOODS, GENERALLY WE WILL HAVE BEARS THAT ARE MOSTLY GOING TO BE SHY.

A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE ARE WALKING THROUGH THE WOODS AND THERE ARE BEARS AROUND YOU AND YOU NEVER KNOW IT. THEY ARE QUIET, THEY MOVE OFF, YOU DO NOT HEAR THEM.

THAT IS NORMAL. YOU ALWAYS HAVE SOME WILD ANIMAL AROUND YOU THAT YOU DO NOT SEE.

MOST OF THE TIME WE HAVE SOME SORT OF CONFLICT IN THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS WHERE THE BEARS ARE COMING IN AND WALKING UP AND DOWN THE STREET LOOKING FOR PETFOOD.

WE RECOMMEND PEOPLE THAT IF THE BEAR IS AT A DISTANCE, PUT YOUR HAND ABOVE YOUR HEAD MAKE YOURSELF LOOK LARGER AND TALK TO THE BEAR. CLAP YOUR HANDS AND THAT SORT OF THING. YOU DO NOT WANT TO STARTLE A BEAR.

YOU WANT TO GIVE A HEADS UP THAT YOU ARE NEARBY. MOST OF THE TIMES -- LIKE OF THE TIME THEY WILL SEE YOU. IT GIVES THE CHANCE FOR THE AGENCY TO GET A CALL WE COME OUT AND LOOK. IF YOU HAVE SMALL DOGS. SMALL DOGS AND BEARS DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER. IF YOU HAVE A SMALL DOG, PICKED THAT DOG UP AND ACTUALLY MAKE YOURSELF LOOK BIG AND WALKED TO A SECURE LOCATION. IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN PICK THEM UP. IT IS -- THAT IS REALLY WITH ANY SMALL ANIMAL.

PICK THEM UP AND MOVED TO A BETTER LOCATION. ANYONE ELSE?

>> I WANTED TO REITERATE WHEN WE HAD OUR RESUME CALL I DON'T KNOW IF THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS WILL KNOW THIS IT WAS SURPRISING TO ME, WHEN WE SAW THE RED DOTS OVER CLAY COUNTY.

I ASKED ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT GOING ON IN THE NORTHERN PARTS OF THE COUNTY.

I ASSUMED THAT WOULD DRIVE ALL OF THE BEARS OUT TO THE MORE RURAL PARTS AND YOU TOLD ME THAT

IS NOT NECESSARILY THE CASE. >> CERTAINLY, BUILDING NEW COMMUNITIES AND HABITAT LOSS IS AN ISSUE. IT WILL DISPLAY SOME ANIMALS. THE THING ABOUT BEARS, THEY ARE GOOD AT RE- OCCUPYING THE PLACES THEY WERE DISPLACED. MAY BE DURING THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE YOU ARE PUTTING OUT THE Z AND THE BEARS MAY NOT BE NOTICEABLE.

FIVE YEARS FROM NOW THEY WILL COME BACK. ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS FOOD AVAILABLE. ANY SPACE AND THE COUNTY THAT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED AND HAS HOUSES AND THERE IS ATTRACTION, FAIR GAME. WHATEVER IT IS THEY WILL TAKE THE EASY MEAL. OBVIOUSLY, I AM SURE EVERYONE IN HERE HAS HAD A RACCOON GET INTO

[00:30:05]

>> I WAS TOLD YEARS AGO BY AN OFFICER, WE DON'T CHANGE THE WORLD BY WRITING TICKETS.

THE EDUCATION OUTREACH IS BIG. WE HAVE THE LARGEST OUTREACH. GENERALLY, WHAT THEY WILL DO, YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE SOMEONE LIKE JANELLE SHOW UP AND SAY WE NEED YOU TO KEEP UP ALL OF THE STUFF. IF THAT DOESN'T WORK A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER WILL SHOW UP AND WE WILL SAY YOU NEED TO KEEP THE. AND IF THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN, THAT IS WHEN THINGS LIKE CITATIONS COME OUT. BUT WE DON'T LIKE TO WRITE CITATIONS. WE NEED THE SUPPORT FROM THE COMMUNITY TO MAKE SURE THEM AND

THEIR NEIGHBORS ARE SAFE BY KEEPING UP ATTRACTIONS. >> I WILL ADD I CONNECTED MR. ORLANDO WITH FREE TRAINING FOR THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT SO IF YOU HAVE INTERACTION IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THEY CALLED 911, THE DEPUTIES ARE TRAINED ON WHAT TO DO AS WELL.

HOPEFULLY, SOMEONE IF THEY PULLS OUT SOMETHING TO THE ANIMAL WE CAN PROVIDE HELP.

>> HOPEFULLY DOES NOT HAPPEN. WE HAVE OFFERED. I WAS TOLD WE ARE WAITING FOR SOME PEOPLE TO BASICALLY COME BY AND WE WILL OFFER THAT TRAINING. IT IS BASICALLY THE FIRST RESPONSE. IF AN OFFICER SHOWS UP AND THERE'S A BEAR, THEY HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT TO DO BECAUSE WE ARE PRETTY FAR A WAY WHEN THAT HAPPENS.

>> OKAY, GREAT PRESENTATION. >> CONTACT US, IF YOU HAVE CONSTITUENTS THAT HAVE PROBLEMS

[2.  Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes, September 28,2021.]

TWENTY-TWO AND HALF YEARS. NINETEEN YEARS AS AN ENGINEER TECH AND SURVEY INSPECTOR.

I AM LOST. I'M JUST NERVOUS. >> JUST TAKE A BREATH.

>> IS JUST GETTING TO ME. ANYWAY. A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO I WAS IN A SITUATION WHERE, I WAS TAKING MY PARTNER HOME. I TEXT MY WIFE LIZ SHE DID NOT ANSWER. SHE'S UNDER STRESS WITH A NONCURABLE MEDICAL CONDITION.

I STOP BY THE HOUSE TO CHECK ON HER. BECAUSE I DID NOT GET A TEXT BACK AND THE GIRL ACROSS THE STREET PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY. A CRAZY GIRL ACROSS THE STREET

[00:35:03]

THEY WOULD SIGN ME EIGHT LAST CHANCE LETTER IF ANYTHING HAPPENED I COULD BE FIRED ON THE SPOT. IN MY 22 YEARS I HAVE HAD NO DISCIPLINE ACTIONS OR WRITE UPS OR VERBAL, ANYTHING, NOTHING. I WORKED THE WEEKENDS PAVING AND SURVEYING AND I WORKED THE WEEKENDS. SOMETIMES I RAN THE PAVING CREW MYSELF.

AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH I WENT TO THE PITS AND FOUND OUT NO ONE WAS EVER FIND FOR ANY INCIDENCES ONE COUNTY EMPLOYEE GOT OUT OF HIS PICKUP TRUCK THEY TOTALED THE CAR.

I WANTED TO TAKE IT TO A HIGHER POWER. I'M NOT SURE WHY HE HANDED OFF SINCE HE WAS THE NEW GUY ON THE TEAM. IF HE HAD DONE INVESTIGATION E WOULD HAVE KNOWN, NO ONE HAS BEEN FINE. IF NOT IT IS DISCRIMINATION FOR ONE PERSON. I SPOKE TO SOMEONE AND TOLD THEM I WOULD DISCUSS IT.

IF NOT I WOULD BE BACK TO SEE THEM. >> YOUR TIME IS UP.

>> I RECEIVED A PLAQUE FROM AN ENGINEERING CHECK HERE. I WANT TO THANK MR. TERESA AND BROOKE FOR ANOTHER FLIGHT. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE GET TO PLAX.

IT IS A FIRST. >> WE HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE FLORIDA COUNSEL AS ONE OF THE LEADING AGENCIES AND PREVENTION AND SERVICES IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

WE COLLABORATE WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO GUIDE SURVIVORS IN REPORTING CRIMES AGAINST THEM. WE STAND BY SURVIVORS WHILE NAVIGATING THE COMPLEX CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. WE PROVIDE EXAMS TO COLLECT EVIDENCE THAT ALL ENFORCEMENT AND THE STATE USED TO PROSECUTE THESE VIOLENT CRIMES.

WE TOOK THIS PROGRAM OVER FROM THE COUNTY BACK IN 2011. WE PROVIDE ADVOCACY SERVICES TO SURVIVORS TO ACCOMPANY THEM DURING INTERVIEWS AND SUPPORT SURVIVORS UNTIL THEY FEEL SAFE NAVIGATING THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT SHOWS THIS WILL HELP VICTIMS BECOME MORE COOPERATIVE DURING PROSECUTION.

WE PROVIDE FREE LEGAL SERVICES FOR THOSE SEEKING SERVICES BY FILING INJUNCTIONS FOR PROTECTION. OUR COLLABORATION ALLOWS SURVIVORS THE WE HAVE THOSE WHO SERVE AS CONSULTANTS TO SERVE AS INSULTS FOR THOSE WORKING IN THE ( INDISCERNIBLE ).

THESE ADVOCATES YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE INVOLVED IN THE SYSTEM TO HAVE ACCESS WE PROVIDE THESE

[00:40:44]

AS NEEDED AND DURING PANDEMIC THIS HOTLINE BLEW UP. >> COULD YOU SUM IT UP ALMOST ALL OF TIME. IN GENERAL WHAT I CAN SAY IS OUR SERVICES WENT FROM 2500 AND 2019 TO ALMOST 13,000 SERVICES IN 2021. THE COUNTY NEEDS OUR SERVICES.

WE WOULD APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THE COUNTY STANDS BEHIND US AND PROVIDE SUPPORT BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT POSSIBLY HAPPEN WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

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

IT CARRIES 4-0? >> DISCUSSION UPDATE SPIRIT. >> GOOD EVENING BOARD.

CHAIR. I'M WITH THE BONDED TRANSPORTATION IMAGE STRATA.

I'M HERE TO UPDATE YOU ON THE PROGRESS THE TEAM IS MADE ON THE PROGRAM.

I WOULD -- I'M GOING TO HIGHLIGHT A THREE-PAGE REPORT THAT YOU RECEIVED.

TONIGHT MY SUMMARY REPORT IS SWEET AND SIMPLE. NOW THAT THE COUNTY HAS DESIGNERS AND CONTRACTS ON BOARD WITH INPUT FROM THE CONTRACTS, WITH THESE PROJECTS AND 6B.

WITH THE INTENT TO ADVERTISE OCTOBER 21 NEXT WEEK. WITH THAT, THAT CONCLUDES MY

UPDATE AND I AM OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. >> BORING AS USUAL, KEEP IT THAT

[9.  COVID Update]

WAY. >> COVID-19 UPDATE? >> GOOD AFTERNOON.

[00:45:05]

LAST WEEK TO 75 FOR THE WEEK. AT ONE POINT THEY WERE AT THAT PER DAY.

YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE. THE POSITIVITY RATE IS AT 7% THE GOAL WAS TO GET UNDER 10% AND REMAINED THERE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT TRACK TO IS STILL BEING REPORTED FROM THE DELTA SURGE PERIOD A TOTAL OF SIX HAVE NOT WITH 287 OF THEM THAT HAPPENED SINCE JULY FIRST THAT IT'S 42% OVER THE SUMMER. THAT IS VERY HARD.

VACCINATIONS AS YOU KNOW, WE CONTINUE TO MARKET THAT HAS THE PRIMARY PREVENTION FOR COVID-19.

50% OF THE POPULATION HAS HAD ONE OR MORE. 56% ARE FULLY VACCINATED OVER 12 AND THAT IS CURRENTLY AUTHORIZED. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE VACCINATIONS. THEY ARE CURRENTLY APPROVING A THIRD DOSE EITHER PFIZER OR MULDER NOT FOR THOSE IN MIDDLE COMPROMISE. IT IS A SELF TEST FOR IMMUNOCOMPROMISED TO GET THE THIRD DOSE. WE DO KNOW THOSE THAT HAVE IT DON'T HAVE AS GOOD EFFECTIVE RATE. WHAT YEAR END A LOT ABOUT, CURRENTLY ONLY PFIZER HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR A ROOSTER. THOSE LIVING IN LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES OVER 65 AND UNDERLYING HEALTH CONDITIONS AND AT HIGH RISK FOR OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURES LIKE EMERGENCY ROOMS AND DOCTOR'S OFFICES THAT HAVE A LOT OF FACE TIME.

PFIZER IS SENDING APPROVAL TO THE FDA FOR 5-11-YEARS-OLD. THEY WILL HAVE A MEETING ON THAT LATER. THEY WILL LOOK AT THE DATA AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS.

THE BOOSTER SHOT FOR THE MODERNA AND J&J WILL HAPPEN LATER THIS WEEK WITH THE FDA.

WE WILL HAVE MORE ON THAT. AND I WANT TO TALK ABOUT BUT FDA WILL LOOK AT A NEW PILL MADE BY MERCK FOR THOSE WHO ARE COVID-19 POSITIVE WHO HAD MILD OR MODERATE SYSTEM -- SYMPTOMS. IT WILL BE ANTIVIRAL SIMILAR TO TAM YOU'LL -- TAMIFLU. LASTLY, HOW MUCH LONGER DO YOU WANT ME TOO DO THIS? IF YOU WANT ME TOO COME EVERY TWO WEEKS I CAN COME AS NEEDED.

I'M ALWAYS AVAILABLE. AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

>> I AM FIND WITH YOU NOT DOING IT. I APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION,

YOU HAVE BEEN GREAT. >> THE LAMBDA VARIANT? >> THAT IS OUT THERE, AS YOU KNOW WE ARE DOING THE GREEK ALPHABET. I HAVE NOT HEARD ANY DATA ON IT RECENTLY BUT I CAN'T RESEARCH WHERE IT IS AT. TYPICALLY WHAT WE SAW WAS BRAZIL AND COLUMBIA AND THOSE AREAS. I HEARD OF IT CROSSING. SO WE WILL KEEP GOING WITH WHAT

WE HAVE, AND KEEP VACCINATING. >> AND AUTHORITY BRIEFED US THIS MORNING.

HE EXPECTS A RESEARCH AFTER THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY. IS THAT A WELL SUPPORTED

OPINION? >> I THINK WHAT HAPPENS IN THANKSGIVING AND DECEMBER WE HAVE GATHERINGS, NOT ONLY YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS BUT YOU HAVE HOLIDAY GET-TOGETHERS OR WORK PARTIES AND THOSE TYPE OF THINGS. I THINK, WE TEND TO BE INDOORS VERSUS OUTDOORS. JUST LOOKING AT THE THINGS AND THE COMPOUNDING VARIABLES, YOU WOULD THINK WE WILL SEE A SEARCH. I HOPE IT IS NOT THE ONE WE SAW GOING INTO 2021 BECAUSE THAT IS WHEN WE DID NOT HAVE VERY MANY PEOPLE VACCINATED.

THE MESSAGES THINK OF MANY PEOPLE WILL BE AT AN EVENT. WILL IT BE INDOOR OR OUTDOOR'S.

>> MY LAST QUESTION IS, WHEN DOES THE FEDERAL MONEY RUN OUT FOR IMMUNIZATIONS.

THAT IS WHEN I THINK COVID-19 WILL GO AWAY. >> I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THE FUNDING. THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AS FUNDING AND WHAT WE HAVE BEEN RECEIVING. ONE IS FOR COVID-19 INVESTIGATION, AND ONE IS FOR

[00:50:02]

I HOPE IT DOES NOT OUTLASTED. COVID-19 IS HERE TO STAY BUT HOW WE LIVE WITH IT IS WHAT WE WILL

DO. >> I THOUGHT IT WAS APPROPRIATE, WHEN YOU SAID THE DELTA ■SEARCH

BUT I'M FINE WITH CUTTING BACK AND YOU CAN JUST COME TALK WHEN >> IF YOU FEEL LIKE I NEED TO COME AND GIVE AN UPDATE JUST LET HOWARD KNOW AND REACH OUT TO ME AND I WILL GIVE AN UPDATE OR HAVE A CONVERSATION, THAT IS NO PROBLEM. ANYTHING THAT COMES UP, YOU MAY GET QUESTIONS JUST SEND AN E-MAIL SO YOU CAN HAVE AWARENESS.

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR UPDATES, YOU HAVE BEEN A GODSEND. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, I

APPRECITE YOU. >> MY EMOTIONAL SUPPORT HUMAN IS WITH ME TOO.

>> APPARENTLY YOU LEFT ME STRANDED FOR A WHILE. >> JOHN IS AVAILABLE TO BRIEF ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON AT THE FAIRGROUNDS IF IT SO PLEASES THE BOARD.

>> I THINK EVERYONE IS SEEN ON THE NEWS, AND FROM THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND ANIMAL CONTROL A POTENTIAL ANIMAL SURFACE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND ANIMAL CONTROL HAS BEEN WORKING A. THEY FINALLY GOT PERMISSION TO GET A SEARCH WARRANT LAST WEEK ON THE FACILITY -- I MEAN THE HOME. WE BEGAN PLANNING ON WEDNESDAY.

UNKNOWN AS TO WHAT WE WOULD GO INTO. THERE WAS RUMORS THERE WERE 150 PLUS ANIMALS. WE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WE WOULD GIVE.

WE WENT AHEAD AND'S STARTED SETTING UP AT THE FAIRGROUNDS TO RECEIVE THESE ANIMALS.

WE ALSO HAD TO REACH OUT TO VARIOUS PARTNERS BECAUSE WHEN YOU START BRINGIG IN THAT MANY ANIMALS, OBVIOUSLY ANIMAL CARE AND CONTROL IS LOW. AND YOU ARE DUPLICATING THE SERVICES THEY HAVE AT THAT FACILITY TO THE FAIRGROUNDS AND THIS BEING AN INVESTIGATIVE CASE, WE HAD TO BRING IN FORENSIC VETERINARIANS AND OTHERS TO LOOK INTO THESE CASES.

WE REACH OUT TO PARTNERS AND CAUTIOUS NOT TO GO THROUGH HEAVY INTO THE RESCUE PARTNERS BECAUSE THERE WAS A YOUNG LADY WHO COULD AFFECT CONTACT WITH A LOT OF THEM.

WE WORK THAT THAT THROUGH THE WEEKEND. YESTERDAY MORNING WE HAD A BRIEFING AND WE HAD TWO SITES GOING. WE HAVE Z HAD THE ( INDISCERNIBLE ) SITE AT THE CLARK COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS FOR RECEIVING.

EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING WE BRIEFED WITH ANIMAL CARE CONTROL, FIREWORKS AND A FEW OTHERS WHO WENT IN AND ASSISTED AND AS OF THE FINAL COUNT THAT WE JUST RECEIVED, THAT WAS DONE THROUGH THE INTAKE YESTERDAY EVENING WAS 266 ANIMALS THAT WERE SEIZED FROM THAT FACILITY.

IT WAS ONE OF FOUR DOGS. TWENTY AP EXPERIENCE 44 RABBITS. SEVENTY-TWO CHICKENS.

DIX GOATS. TO TURTLES. SIX PIGEONS.

ONE DUCT. ONE QUAIL. I'M SORRY TO QUAILS.

ONE GOOD SPIRIT THESE WERE SEIZED AND BROUGHT TO THE CLAY COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS WHERE WE HAD A PHENOMENAL VETERINARY TEAM MADE UP OF THE CLAY COUNTY ANIMAL CARE CONTROL, PUBLIC WORKS AND OTHER AGENCIES THAT CAME IN TO ASSIST AND BY 8:00 P.M. YESTERDAY EVENING, ALL 266 ANIMALS WERE BROUGHT INTO INTAKE AND SETTLED IN. THEY DID ALL OF THE ASSESSMENTS ON THE DOMESTIC ANIMALS YESTERDAY. THE DOGS.

TODAY THEY WILL WORK ON THE LIVESTOCK AND THEY WILL TAKE THAT INFORMATION AND TURN IT OVER TO LAWN -- LAW ENFORCEMENT. RIGHT NOW, AND TROY CONSOLED ME IF ME BUT RIGHT NOW WE ARE UNDER A 14 DAY QUARANTINE, SO THEY WILL BE UNDER QUARANTINE AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO THEM FOR 14 DAYS AND FROM THERE IT WILL DEPEND ON WHERE THE INVESTIGATIVE OR THE LEGAL MATTER COMES AS TO WHEN THEY CAN BE RELEASED TO US. IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT WILL HAPPEN ANYTIME SOON SO I HAVE MY TEAM LOOKING FOR THIS DAY OUT THERE AND OBVIOUSLY THAT TAKES STAFFING AND WE ALSO STOOD UP DONATIONS TODAY IN THE COMMUNITY THE COMMUNITY WAS OVERWHELMING WITH WHAT THEY BROUGHT OUT FROM THE FAIRGROUNDS. BUT IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS THAT THEY WANT TO VOLUNTEER OR IF THEY WANT TO DONATE SOME PLEASE CALL.

>> I UNDERSTAND THIS WAS A 1 ACRE SITE. >> ONE AND A QUARTER ACRES.

[00:55:02]

IT WAS ONE AND A QUARTER ACRES. >> THE HOUSING FOR THESE ANIMALS WAS IN A MOBILE HOME? TANGIBLES AND HOMES, OUTBUILDINGS THAT WERE THERE BUT THEY WERE INSIDE OF THE HOME, I DON'T WANT TO GIVE TOO MUCH INFORMATION BECAUSE IT IS UNDER INVESTIGATION THERE WERE A LOT

OF DOGS THAT ANIMALS IN CRATES THAT WERE STACKED HIGH. >> WERE CHILDREN INVOLVED?

>> I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOU THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, ANIMAL CONTROL AND EVERYONE WAS PART OF IT. I AM AN ANIMAL LOVER. THEY ALL MATTER.

THE LIVES MATTER. THANK YOU FOR STEPPING IN AND SAVING THEM AND HOPEFULLY, WE

CAN HAVE A POSITIVE OUTCOME. >> I WANT TO TAKE THE TIME, YOUR TEAM YESTERDAY AND ANIMAL CARE AND CONTROL AND PUBLIC WORKS HELP TO ROUNDUP SOME SWINE. THERE WAS NEVER ONE PERSON, I DON'T CARE WHAT TEAM MEMBER THEY WERE NEVER SITTING DOWN. WHEN THE TASK WAS FINISHED THEY HELP. I THINK YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOUR TEAM.

I DID NOTHING. IT WAS BOOTS ON THE GROUND. >> CHRONICLED IN THE MEDICAL

[20.  5:00 PM or as soon thereafter as can be heard - Public Hearing for consideration of a Resolution designating the real property located at 1914 Bryce Landing Way, Middleburg, Florida, Parcel ID Number 05-05-25-009018-000-00. as a Brownfield Area pursuant to Section 376.80(2)(c), Florida Statutes]

DESIGNATING THE REAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1914 BRYCE LANDING WAY, MIDDLEBURG, FLORIDA.

>> THERE IS AN APPLICANT AND THE REPRESENTATIVE IS HERE TO PRESENT ON THE MATTER.

>> OKAY. >> GOOD AFTERNOON. GOOD AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS AND COUNTY STAFF. I'M WITH THE LAW FIRM IN CORAL GABLES FLORIDA WE REPRESENT THE APPLICANT FOR BRYCE LANDING LLC. I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF THE REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.

AND I WANT TO TOUCH ON THE APPLICATIONS AND I AM AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THIS IS THE FIRST OF TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS ON THIS RESOLUTION. FLORIDA'S PROGRAM, WAS ESTABLISHED BACK IN 1997 BY THE LEGISLATION AS A TOOL FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO INCENTIVIZE THE USE OF REDEVELOPMENT WITH ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES. IT HAS BEEN A GREAT SUCCESS.

AND IT REALLY GIVES THE KEYS TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT. THERE ARE TWO TIERS TO THE GOVERNMENT. THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DESIGNATING A BROWNFIELD AREA.

YOU CAN PUT ANY NAME YOU LIKE ON THAT. BUT WE TEND TO REFER TO IT BECAUSE THE PROPERTY AS A BETTER USE THAN BEFORE. AND WHAT THAT AREA DOES, IT ACTS AS MANY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT LIKE A COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA.

AN EXAMPLE IS IN THE CITY OF GREEN COVE SPRINGS WHERE THE CITY DONATED THE AREA AS A BROWNFIELD AREA UP BACK IN 2007. WEATHER THAT DOES, IT ALLOWS PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN THE DESIGNATED AREA TO ACCESS CERTAIN AREAS FROM THE STATE. WITHOUT GOING BACK TO THE BOARD FOR EACH OF THEIR PROPERTIES IF THEY QUALIFY. AND OF COURSE THE SECOND TIER OF THE PROGRAM WAS DESIGNATED AS A BROWNFIELD AREA. IF ANY CLEANUP IS REQUIRED, ANY GEAR ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANUP, IF THERE IS CONTAMINATION WITH THE BROWNFIELD AREA IN ALLOWS THE PROPERTY OWNER TO ENTER INTO A SITE REHABILITATION AGREEMENT AND THAT ACTIVATES A SEPARATE BUCKET OF INCENTIVES DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE CLEANUP. UNDER THE STATUTE, THERE ARE FIVE CRITERIA FOR DESIGNATION. NOT INCLUDED IS THAT THE PROPERTY MUST BE CONSIDERED A BROWNFIELD SITE. I THINK THAT IS AN IMPUTED REQUIREMENT.

[01:00:05]

THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1914 BRYCE LANDING WAY, THIS PROPERTY , WERE IDENTIFIED DURING SOME OF THE ASSESSMENTS. FOR PROPERTY OWNERS AND CONSULTANTS IDENTIFIED ( INDISCERNIBLE ) AND BECAUSE IT MAY BE ASSOCIATED WHICH MAY BE INDICATIVE OF NAVY TRAINIG.

SUBSEQUENT TO THAT, THE PROPERTY OWNER ENGAGED TO FURTHER EVALUATE THE RISK AND IT WAS MINIMAL AND AFTER SPEAKING THEY MOVE FORWARD WITH THE DEVELOPMENT EXPLANT HOWEVER, BECAUSE THE APPLICANT WAS REQUIRED, THE REDEVELOPMENT COMPLICATION, QUALIFIES AS PROPERTY FORETHOUGHT FLORIDA BROWNFIELD PROGRAM. THERE WERE FIVE CRITERIA THIS CREATES FIVE NEW JOBS THE JOB REQUIREMENT DOES NOT APPLY. HERE THE APPLICANT, THE TOTAL COST WILL BE $21 MILLION WITH A GOOD PORTION GOING TOWARDS LOCAL LABOR.

AS WELL AS ENGAGING IN THE OWN AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING ( INDISCERNIBLE ) AND THEIR PRODUCTIVITY AND SUPPORTING LOCAL JOBS AND BUSINESSES. THE THIRD CRITERIA FOR DESIGNATION IS THE REDEVELOPMENT BE CONSISTENT WITH THE PLAN. WE HAVE IT PERMISSIBLE IN THE COUNTY. THIS WAS A IT INCLUDES POSTING AT THE PROPERTY AND PUBLICATION OF NOTICE THIS IS AN PRINT AS WELL AS A SIGN ON THE PROPERTY AND THE ONLINE NOTICE.

THE APPLICANT RECEIVED NO INACCURACIES -- I WAS IN ATTENDANCE ALONG WITH A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE APPLICANT ITSELF. WE HAVE NO INCREASE SINCE THAT MEETING. FINALLY, THE APPLICANT MUST PROVIDE REASONABLE ASSURANCE THEY HAVE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO COMPLETE THE REDEVELOPMENT AND ANY REHABILITATION REQUIRED. AND THE PROGRAM IS FOCUS ON REDEVELOPMENT.

THERE MUST BE A PLAN. THESE MATERIALS WERE PROVIDED TO THE COUNTY WITH OUR INITIAL DESIGNATION REQUEST. WITH THAT I AM AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

>> PRATT -- THEY AGREED IT WOULD BE IN CONCERT WITH LAND USE AND ZONING, IS NOT AN ISSUE.

[01:05:14]

IT IS ISSUE? >> NO. >> THERE HAS BEEN NO ISSUE

WHETHER COMPLIES. >> THIS IS JUST AN INTEREST OF MINE.

WHO MONITORS THAT. WHO IS TO SAY I WILL NOT BRING MY RELATIVES DOWN AND WE ARE DOCTORS AND LAWYERS AND CANDLESTICK MAKERS AND ALL OF THAT.

WHO MONITORS THAT? >> I DON'T KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT THAT PROCESS BUT I DO KNOW THE FLORIDA HOUSING FINANCE IS THE REGULATOR. THE APPLICANT WHEN THEY HAVE PEOPLE MOVE IN, THEY AGREED TO CERTAIN INCOME RESTRICTIONS. THE APPLICANT, THEY CANNOT PROVE RESIDENCE IF THEY MAKE ABOVE THIS INCOME RESTRICTION. FUTURE RESIDENTS MUST HAVE AN

INCOME. DISSOLVE REGULATED. >> DO YOU KNOW IF IT IS REPORTED

QUARTERLY OR ANNUALLY? >> THAT I DO NOT KNOW. IT IS STILL A MYSTERY TO ME.

>> SO, MY FIRST QUESTION IS, IS THE APPLICANT LOCAL IN CLAY COUNTY?

>> THE APPLICANT THEY ARE AFFILIATED WITH HOUSING TRUST GROUP BASED IN MIAMI.

MUCH OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT HAPPENS IN THE WEST COAST OF FLORIDA AND THE UNITED STATES.

THIS WILL BE ONE OF THEIR FIRST DEVELOPMENTS. THEY ARE THE FIRST IN CLAY

COUNTY. >> AND THEN, I GUESS MY NEXT QUESTION MAY BE FOR COURTNEY, YOU CAN POSSIBLY ANSWER IT TOO. I AM CONCERNED WITH THE TERMINOLOGY OF PERCEIVED AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND -- IF WE WERE TO PASS THIS, THERE IS A OBLIGATION THERE.

I DO NOT KNOW THAT I FEEL COMFORTABLE TO SIGN MY NAME, ATTESTING TO SOMETHING THAT SOME COMPANY OUT OF MIAMI WILL MAKE MONEY OFF OF, OFF OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OR THE STATE GOVERNMENT, BASED ON MY A TESTAMENT THAT THERE IS SOMETHING HERE, THAT IS PERCEIVED CONTAMINATION. IT SOUNDS LIKE WE MAY THINK THERE'S SOMETHING THERE SO WE WILL GET INCENTIVES. SOMEBODY CAN GET FEDERAL OR STATE MONEY.

DO NOT GET ME WRONG. I UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

I DON'T WANT TO STAND IN THE WAY OF THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF I AM COMFORTABLE WITH THE PERCEPTION OF CONTAMINATION. I GUESS IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT IF

SOMEONE SAID, AT ITS CONTAMINATION. >> I WILL LET YOU EXPAND.

BUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING, IT WILL BE CONSTRUCTED REGARDLESS OF THAT.

>> BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO ATTEST TO CONTAMINATION. YOUR FAILURE TO PASS THIS WON'T PRECLUDE THE CONSTRUCTION AS AFFORDABLE HOUSING. WHETHER THIS IS ACTUAL OR

PERCEIVED, YOU HAVE HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD. >> TO EXPAND ON THAT.

I WOULD.TO THIS EXAMPLE. THIS IS THE ENTIRE DOWNTOWN AREA, SINCE THE DESIGNATION, THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN YOU DESIGNATE A LARGE AREA. THAT PERCEPTION OF CONTAMINATION, IT REQUIRED THE APPLICANT TO INCUR COSTS AND FURTHER EVALUATE THAT THERE WAS NOT CONTAMINATION PRESENT. THIS PROGRAM IS AWAY FOR THE APPLICANT TO REINVEST THE MONEY BACK INTO THE PROJECT THROUGH PAYING DOWN A LOAN, OR AMENITIES.

>> SO, THE APPLICANT SPENT MONEY. HOW MUCH?

[01:10:04]

>> I DON'T KNOW THE NUMBER OFF OF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. >> DID THE APPLICANT ONLY GET

THAT MUCH MONEY BACK. >> KNOW THE APPLICANT WOULD RECEIVE DETAILS -- SALES TAX.

>> THE SALES TAX THAT ARE NOT PAID IN CLAY COUNTY AND WON'T COME BACK TO CLAY COUNTY BECAUSE

THE APPLICANT IS NOT IN CLAY COUNTY. >> CONSTRUCTION, THEY WOULD PAY THE SURTAX. AS THE INCENTIVE WORKS THEY PURCHASE THE MATERIALS THEY BUILT THE PROJECT AND ONCE IT IS COMPLETE, THE APPLICANT WOULD APPLY FOR THAT REFUND, AND THE SALES TAX WOULD COME FROM THE STATE AS WELL AS ANY LOCAL MATERIALS THAT WERE PURCHASED IN THE LOCAL AREA. AND SO WOULD ALSO COST THEM MONEY BECAUSE WE GET A SURTAX?

>> YES. >> THANK YOU. >> NOT DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR.

SO YOU SAID THEY DID AN EVALUATION? TO HAVE THE FUNDING FOR THAT?

>> THEY ARE IN THE UPDATED ASSESSMENT I CAN PROVIDE THAT IF I HAVEN'T ALREADY BUT THE APPLICANT SPOKE WITH THE NAVY AND THAT NAVY FOUND THERE WAS MINIMAL RISK BASED ON THE LOCATION OF THE RECORDS. IT FEELS LIKE A CANAL TO ME. I DON'T KNOW BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THERE'S NOT MUCH IN A FORETHOUGHT COUNTY. YOU WILL BUILD THE THING ANYWAY.

WHY SHOULD I TAKE THE RISK OF DOING THIS. IF IT HELPS YOU MAKE MONEY BUT DOES NOT DO MUCH FOR ME. FROM A LIABILITY STANDPOINT PURSUANT TO THE STATUTE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE LIABILITY. WHEN YOU DO THE DESIGNATION. THEY WILL THEN GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AND MAKE A DETERMINATION IF THERE IS ANY. EVEN IF YOU DO THE DESIGNATION THEY MADE THROUGH THEIR STUDY DETERMINED THERE'S NO CONTAMINATION AND NOT HAVE TO DO

ANY CLEANUP. >> THAT IS LIKELY WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

BY THAT TIME, LET ME CLARIFY, THIS IS A DESIGNATED PROCESS, FOR CONTAMINATION.

THIS IS NOT A CLAY COUNTY DESIGNATION. THE WAY THE STATUTE IS SET UP, THIS ACCESSES THE DISTRICT AND THEY WOULD ADMINISTER ANY SITE WITHIN THEIR SO THE BROWNFIELD SITE IS ONLY CREATED IF THERE IS A SITE REHABILITATION AGREEMENT PRIOR TO THE AGREEMENT BEING EXECUTED, SOLELY OUT OF THE AREA THERE'S NO DOCUMENTATION OF CONTAMINATION.

THERE IS NO REGULATORY RECORD FOR CONTAMINATION IN THE AREA. >> BUT IF WE PASS THIS AT THE NEXT MEETING, AND WE DESIGNATE IT AS A SITE. YOUR APPLICANT GET THE TAX

INCENTIVES, REGARDLESS OF THE ASSESSMENT. >> THEY WOULD BE ELIGIBLE UPON

DESIGNATION. >> IN THE CITY OF GREEN COVE SPRINGS THERE WOULD BE OLD GAS STATIONS THAT WOULD HAVE CONTAMINATION, SO THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME.

I GUESS WHAT THE DOCUMENTATION SHOWS IS PASS EVIDENCE OF USE OF THAT SITE AND FAR LESS LIKELY WHICH IS WHY I ASKED THE QUESTION OF THE PERCEPTION, THAT IS WHERE THE HONESTY THING IS A LITTLE STICKY. IF I MAKE.OUT OTHER EXAMPLES, A DESIGNATION OF THIS USUALLY

[01:15:09]

EVEN THOUGH IT IS THROUGH THE PLAN AND THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS APPROVED THE TO PROVIDE THE APPLICANT TO MAKE THAT. I WANT TO REITERATE THERE'S NO CONTAMINATION CONFIRM.

THE APPLICANT HAS DONE THE WORK AND CONFIRM THERE'S NO CONTAMINATION PRESENT IN ORDER TO REDEVELOP THE PROPERTY. THIS IS A CLEAN PROPERTY. THERE IS NO RECORD AND I WANT

RESIDENTS TO KNOW THIS IS A CLEAN PROPERTY. >> WHAT IS CONFUSING, YOU SAY THERE'S NOTHING BUT FROM THE BEGINNING I HAVE HEARD THIS, AND IT'S CONFUSING TO ME, IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. IF YOU WANT THE POSITIVE, AND THERE'S NO RISK, WHY ARE WE

SAYING THERE IS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. >> THIS IS A LENGTHY PROCESS GOING FROM EVALUATING THE PROPERTY AND BEGINNING REDEVELOPMENT GATHERING INFORMATION TO SUBMIT THE APPLICATION. EVEN THOUGH, IN THIS CASE EVEN AFTER REDEVELOPMENT STARTED AND NO CONTAMINATION HAS BEEN FOUND, IF WE STARTED THE PROCESS SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THE APPLICANT WOULD HAVE INCURRED THE CURRENT COST.

THEY DON'T HAVE A TIMING COMPONENT. UNDERSTAND WE ARE A LITTLE LATE IN THE GAME AS REDEVELOPMENT HAS BEGUN BUT THIS IS A PROGRAM EQUALLY AVAILABLE REGARDLESS OF

THE STATE OF REDEVELOPMENT. >> CAN I FOLLOW-UP. ONE OF THE CRUCIAL ELEMENTS IS THAT YOU HAVE TO MEET THE DEFINITION OF A BROWNFIELD SITE WHICH IS PERCEIVED CONTAMINATION. BUT YOU JUST SAID, THERE IS NO FINDING THAT YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH THE PROCESS AND THE COMPLICATIONS STEM FROM THAT. THIS WAS PERCEIVED FROM THE ACTIVITIES IN THE AREA. THE APPLICANT HAD TO AND CURATE THE EXTRA COST.

ULTIMATELY WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD. AND THIS WAS FIRST IDENTIFIED.

>> FROM HISTORICAL USE. >> THERE'S NO GUARANTEE THEY WILL FIND SOMETHING OUT THERE IN

THE FUTURE. >> IF THERE WERE TO BE A FUTURE PHASE OF THE PROJECT.

>> THERE'S ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY CONTAMINATION CAN BE LOCALIZED. CONTAMINATION CAN BE LOCALIZED AND DISCOVERED LATER. I KNOW AREAS CURRENTLY DEVELOP THAT HAVE NOT BEEN AN ISSUE.

FUTURE PHASES COULD COME ABOUT AND IN THAT CASE THE APPLICANT WOULD HAVE TO DO AN ASSESSMENT AGAIN TO CONFIRM THOSE PROPERTIES ARE SAY. IF CONTAMINATION WAS DISCOVERED IT WOULD GO TO FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL FOR MITIGATION.

>> FOR MITIGATION? >> CORRECT. >> ANY QUESTIONS?

>> LET'S OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS?

>> GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND FILL OUT A CARD AFTERWARDS. >> CHARLES, I AM A LITTLE CONFUSED. IT SEEMS WE HAVE AN OUT-OF-TOWN DEVELOPER AND YOU WANT THE INCENTIVE OF A SALE TAX BUT WE HAVE BROWNFIELD SITES FROM INDUSTRIAL WASTE OVER THE YEARS, BUT DID THE APPLICANT KNOW THIS WAS A RISK WHEN THEY PURCHASED THE PROPERTY? YOU TAKE IT IN AND YOU SAY I WANT TO BUY THIS PROPERTY, I WANT TO DEVELOP IT AND I WANT YOU TO PASS SOMETHING, THAT SEEMS A LITTLE SHADY TO ME. AND OUT-OF-TOWN DEVELOPER CAN GET A REFUND. I DON'T SEE THE BENEFIT TO CLAY COUNTY.

WE DO NEED LOW INCOME HOUSING BUT THIS SOUNDS SHADY TO ME. >> DOES ANYONE ELSE WANT TO ADDRESS THIS? I WILL PULL -- CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

LET US SEE. WHAT WE WILL DO WITH THIS WHEN WE WILL HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING ON

OCTOBER 26. THEN WE WILL VOTE ON THE ISSUE. >> I HAVE ONE COMMENT.

[01:20:08]

IF I WANTED TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY I WOULD HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES.

IT IS THE POLICY AND PROCEDURES THAT THE STATE FOLLOWS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIKE THEM BUT THEY ARE THERE. THE OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE FOR WHOMEVER REGARDLESS.

>> READING THROUGH THIS, IT SEEMED THE REAL BENEFIT WOULD BE IF WE HAD PROPERTY THAT WE KNEW NEEDED INCENTIVES WE WOULD LET THE POTENTIAL DEVELOPER NOTE THAT WE HAVE SUSPECTED OR HAVE DONE THE ASSESSMENT AND NO THAT IT IS A PROBLEM. IN THIS CASE THEY WOULD'VE BROUGHT THE PROPERTY WE ARE JUST GIVING THEM A BREAK ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY.

WHICH I DON'T KNOW, I AM ON THE FENCE WITH THIS ONE. MY ALARM BELL WENT OFF WHEN I READ THE PROBABLE THING WHEN YOU CAN DO AN ASSESSMENT AND COME UP WITH AN ANSWER ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. BUT LET'S MOVE ON. IF THERE IS NO FURTHER COMMENT.

[10.  Continuing General Engineering Consulting Services Agreements for Construction Engineering Inspection (R. Smith)]

CONTINUING GENERAL BUSINESS CONSULTING ARRANGEMENTS. >> LO WE ARE SEEKING APPROVAL OF THE FOUR AGREEMENTS THAT YOU HAVE UNDER THIS ITEM. THESE WERE AWARDED FOR CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION SERVICES. THESE AGREEMENTS WILL BE USED TO INSPECT COUNTY PROJECTS AS NEEDED. ALSO PART OF THE AGREEMENT INCLUDE A FEE FOR PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT. SO I WANTED TO BRING THAT TO YOUR ATTENTION. THE RATE WE NEGOTIATED FOR THE PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT IS $80 PER HOUR. WE WILL CHARGE THE DEVELOPERS $85 POWER BECAUSE IT INCLUDES AN ADMINISTRATION FEE. THIS WAS BRIEFLY DISCUSSED WHEN WE PUT TOGETHER THE FEE SCHEDULE

BUT AT THE TIME WE DID NOT HAVE THE FEES NEGOTIATED. >> ANY QUESTIONS.

I WILL TAKE A MOTION IF THERE'S NO QUESTION. MOVE FOR APPROVAL.

>> I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR THE DISCUSSION.& ALL IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING

[11.  Acceptance of Maintenance with MSBU of the Grove Pointe at Oakleaf Subdivision]

>> THIS WOULD JUST BE ACCEPTANCE OF THE ROADS CONTINGENT ON INCLUDING THEM IN THE PROGRAM.

IT WOULD BE ALL OF THE ROADS IN THAT PARTICULAR PHASE INCLUDED. NO EXCEPTIONS.

>> I JUST HAD ONE QUESTION, TO REITERATE, THERE IS A FORMULA THAT YOU USE TO COME UP WITH THE COST. THAT IS THE TOTAL COST. THAT WOULD BE RIGHT BEFORE WE COME UP WITH THE ASSESSMENTS AND THAT IS DONE IN THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AND FOR THE FUTURE

RESURFACING. >> THIS IS THE CREATION OF AN IMAGE YOU.

>> THIS IS PURELY YOU ARE ACCEPTING THE ROAD. >> ENTERTAIN A MOTION?

>> MOVE FOR APPROVAL. >> A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING AYE. IT CARRIES 4-0.

[12.  Acceptance of Maintenance with MSBU of the Village Park Unit 1C Subdivision]

>> ITEM 12, ANOTHER MSBU OF VILLAGE PARK UNIT 1C SUBDIVISION.

>> IN THAT UNITS THEY ARE ALREADY PART OF THE MSBU. THIS WILL BE INCLUDED AND THERE ARE TWO LANES AS OPPOSED TO ROADS THAT WILL BE INCLUDED AS PART OF THE OTHER MSB YOU.

ACTUAL MEETING. >> THAT TAKES A VOTE? >> HE HAS.

>> I MOVE WE APPROVE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON OCTOBER 26. >> I WILL SECOND THE MOTION BUT

I HAVE A QUESTION. >> A MOTION NANOSECOND OR THE DISCUSSION.

COMMISSIONER. >> I THINK THE COMPUTER IS REALLY SLOW.

MY QUESTION IS, I THINK IT IS 200 FEET, IS THAT CORRECT? >> IT'S ACTUALLY 2,243.

TAGE -- >> I THINK I COUNTED NINE PROPERTY OWNERS ON THE STREET.

IF I RECALL IN MY NOTES, IT IS TO FAMILY MEMBERS. THERE ARE ONLY TWO OUTSIDE RESIDENTS THAT ARE NOT FAMILY MEMBERS. I THINK THE REQUIREMENT IS, WE CHOIR READ -- I THINK UP TO QUERY EVERYONE BUT ANY WAY THE APPLICATION SAYS WE SPOKE TO

EVERYONE. TO ME, THAT WILL BE A PROBLEM. >> THAT IS WHY WE GO THROUGH THE

PROCESS AND YOU PROVIDE THE PUBLIC HEARING. >> BUT THE APPLICATION REQUIRES THEM TO NOTICE THE RESIDENCE AND THEY DID NOT DO IT. THEY JUST SAID WE SPOKE TO EVERYONE. I THINK WE HAVE TO SHOW EVIDENCE THAT WE HAVE TALKED TO THEM.

>> FIRST OF ALL THERE ARE ONLY TWO NONFAMILY MEMBER RESIDENCE. COUNTING THE PARENT ( INDISCERNIBLE ) ABSOLUTELY I THINK THEY SHOULD BE NOTIFIED. HAVE THEY BEEN?

>> THE APPLICANT SAID THERE WERE ONLY TWO APPLICANTS OUTSIDE OF THE FAMILY THAT HAD KNOWLEDGE OF THE ROAD BEING CLOSE. THEY WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY WHICH IS

CURRENTLY VACANT. >> I GUESS, I DON'T KNOW WHICH 200 FEET WILL BE CLOSE.

THAT IS LIKE ME SAYING, TRUST ME I WILL LET YOU ON YOUR PROPERTY ANYTIME YOU WANT.

>> THEY DO HAVE UNRESTRICTED ACCESS TO THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AS WELL.

>> THE TWO NONFAMILY MEMBERS. >> I WORRY ABOUT THE FAMILY MEMBERS WHEN THEY VOLUNTEER HOW WILL THIS PLAY OUT. I DON'T KNOW. WHEN YOU START CLOSING ROADS.

HOW DOES THE EMS GET DOWN? >> THAT IS PART OF THE PROCESS WHERE WE ARE SETTING THE HEARING. WE DO NOT MAKE A RECOMMENDATION. IT IS BROUGHT TO YOU FOR YOU.

>> DO WE HAVE A PROCESS WHERE WE SEND OUT A CERTIFIED LETTER? >> ITS APPLICATION, THEY HAVE TO SIGN IT AND IT IS NOTARIZED. THE QUESTION IS HAVE ALL OF THE JOINING LAND OWNERS PETITION.

HIMSELF, DO THEY CONSENT. THE PORTION THAT IS PETITIONED FOR CLOSURE IS AROUND IT BY TWO

BEAT THE PROPERTY BOTH FROM THE PETITIONER'S. >> IS THERE AN ATTACHMENT?

>> THE APPLICATION IS NOTARIZED BY THE FAMILY MEMBER. >> YOU SAID IN SOFTWARE

[01:30:15]

>> THERE ARE TWO PROPERTY OWNERS THAT NEED TO BE NOTIFIED. THEY ARE ADJACENT TO THE ROAD BUT NOT ANY PORTION OF THE ROAD CLOSE. ONE PART WE DISCUSSED INTERNALLY

WAS TO PROVIDE EMERGENCY VEHICLE TURNAROUND. >> I DON'T THINK THERE IS ROOM

FOR GOD. >> KEEP IN MIND THE PETITIONER HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY.

AGAIN, THERE ARE CONDITIONS. IF YOU WANT SOMETHING, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO GIVE SOMETHING.

>> WE DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE THAT. >> WE CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE THAT.

>> THAT IS SOMETHING THE COUNTY SURVEYOR HAS RECOMMENDED AND I WOULD SUPPORT.

>> THE PETITIONER HAS NOT. THEY HAVE THAT ABILITY. THEY OWNED THAT PROPERTY THAT WOULD CONSTITUTE THE TURNAROUND AREA. I THINK THE.

>> THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS PEOPLE MISTAKE THAT AS OTHER ACCESS TO THE CREEK.

IT IS BEYOND THE BOAT RAMP AND THE BOAT RAMP IS HERE SO YOU GO DOWN THERE TO THE CREEK.

BUT YOU CAN'T GET THERE BECAUSE IT IS PRIVATE PROPERTY. >> OKAY.

I GUESS WE SET THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE 26 AND REQUEST SOMEONE DOES HOMEWORK ON THIS TO GET A FULL RECOMMENDATION AND A SIGNOFF THAT EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT IT.

[14.  U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Provider Relief Fund Update]

OPPOSED? UP IT CARRIES 4-0. >> ITEM 14.

THE U.S. HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES RELIEF FUND UPDATE. NUMBER ONE.

>> GOOD EVENING MEGHAN MOSLEY I WANTED TO START BY GIVING BACKGROUND AND TALK THROUGH THE ACTION ITEMS FOR TONIGHT. THE PROVIDER RELIEF FUND WAS ESTABLISHED BY HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES BY CARE ZACH TO ASSIST HEALTHCARE WORKERS WITH EXPENDITURES RELATED TO COVID-19. TO DATE THERE HAVE BEEN FOR PHASES OF FUNDING AND THE COUNTY IS QUALIFIED TO RECEIVE FUNDING BECAUSE OF THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES IT PROVIDES.

HE RECEIVED FUNDING AT THE START OF THE PANDEMIC. WE WERE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR PHASE TWO FUNDING. WE ARE ELIGIBLE FOR PHASE THREE NOW.

BASED ON THE FUNDING CALCULATOR RECOMMENDATIONS THE COUNTY IS ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE $48,656.

WE HAVE RESEARCH ELIGIBLE USE O& THE FUNDS AND ACCORDING TO THE GUIDELINES EXPENDITURES LIKE RESCUE UNITS ARE ELIGIBLE. WE BELIEVE DUE TO THE INCREASED CALL VOLUME AND THE COUNTIES

[01:35:01]

AT THE SAME TIME, WE ACCEPT THESE THREE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND WE ARE ELIGIBLE TO BE CONSIDERED OR FACE FOR FINDING. WE DON'T KNOW AT THIS TIME WHAT THE AMOUNT WOULD BE BUT THOSE DECISIONS WOULD BE MADE. TODAY WE WANT TO ASK FOR APPROVAL TO ACCEPT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PHASE THREE AND THE BUDGET RESOLUTION. THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO OFFICIALLY ACCEPT THE $408,000 FOR THE RESCUE UNIT. ITEM TWO IS APPROVAL TO SUBMIT PHASE FOR APPLICATION AND ACCEPT PAYMENT. ITEM THREE IS APPROVAL FOR COUNTY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE APPLICATION AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS AS RELATED TO PHASE THREE AND PHASE FOR. AND FINALLY ITEM FOUR IS THE APPROVAL OF TRANSFER OF FUNDS

FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO CIP. >> MADAME ATTORNEY CAN REMOVE ALL OF THESE AT ONCE?

>> YES. >> QUESTIONS? >> I HAVE ONE.

WOULD THIS REPLACE A RESCUE UNIT THAT WAS CURRENTLY IN OUR PLANNED CIP FOR 2022 QUICKSAND I THINK IT WOULD BE MOVED INTO RESERVES, SO YES. IT WOULD COVER THE RESCUES ARE

BUDGETED AT 275,000 APIECE. >> I KNOW THAT IS THE NEXT MEETING DISCUSSION BUT DO YOU

KNOW HOW MANY WE PLAN TO BY? >> I DO NOT KNOW OFF OF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

>> TWO. >> OKAY. >> OKAY.

AND WE HAD PLANNED TO USE THE GRANT MONEY, IS THAT WHAT WE PLANNED TO DO ANYWAY?

OKAY, SO IT IS NOT FOUND MONEY. OKAY. >> AS A RESULT OF THE PANDEMIC, THAT IS WHERE THIS MONEY BECAME AVAILABLE. ANYTHING ELSE WENT ON THAT?

>> I DID NOT KNOW IF THIS WAS ADDITIONAL MONEY THAT WE WOULD USED TO REPLACE VEHICLES AHEAD

OF THE TIME WE NORMALLY WOULD. >> I THINK THIS IS COST REPLACEMENT.

SO WHERE WE HAD A BUDGET COME OUT, WE CAN NOW FREE UP THE MONEY AFTER YOU APPROVE THIS TONIGHT FOR OTHER PURPOSES WHEN WE TALK ABOUT YOUR NEXT WORKSHOP.

THIS WILL FREE UP ANOTHER $408,000 FOR OTHER PURPOSES. >> OKAY, THAT IS THE ANSWER I

WAS LOOKING FOR. >> I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. >> A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING AYE. IT CARRIES 4-0.

[15.  Clay County School Board Request for Radio System Use and Draft Agreement (D. Hane)]

AGREEMENT. >> GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. GOOD AFTERNOON.

I AM THE COUNTY COORDINATOR AND THE PUBLIC SAFETY COORDINATOR. WHAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US THIS EVENING IS A LETTER OF PLAN AND RESPONSE TO A REQUEST BY THE CLAY COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD TO SHARE OUR RADIAL SYSTEM. THEY SENT A LETTER TO US AND LATE MAY ASKING FOR SHARED USE SO THEY COULD PUT THEIR TRANSPORTATION DIVISION ON THE SYSTEM -- TO IMPROVE THEIR OWN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM WITHIN THE SCHOOL BOARD. OUR TEAM WORKED TOGETHER TO EVALUATE THE REQUEST AND THE COST AND THE CAPACITY FOR THE EXISTING SYSTEM.

WE WORK WITH THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT AND CAME UP WITH AN AGREEMENT BASED ON OTHER MODELS WE HAVE SEEN OUT THERE. WE CAME UP WITH THREE COST MODEL OPTIONS OUTSIDE OF THE AGREEMENT OR TO BE CONTAINED WITHIN THE AGREEMENT. WE DEVELOPED THE COST MODEL SEPARATELY. FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OPTION NUMBER ONE, WOULD BE 0 COST TO THE SCHOOL BOARD. THE SECOND COST OPTION, WOULD BE FOR A SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT TO INCLUDE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS FOR THEIR PERCENTAGE OF USE OF THE SYSTEM WHICH TURNS

[01:40:01]

I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS. >> I KNOW WHEN YOU SPOKE ABOUT THIS LAST WEEK, YOU HAD NOT HEARD BACK FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ON THIS.

DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION? >> THERE ARE NO FURTHER UPDATES INSIDE SPOKE AT THE COMMITTEE.

>> THEY HAVE NOT EXPRESSED ANY DIRECTION. >> IT SEEMS THERE WAS A SENSE OF URGENCY IN MAY. SINCE THEN, NOT SO MUCH, BUT IN FAIRNESS, I DON'T WANT TO THROW ROCKS BUT I UNDERSTAND THEY MAY HAVE SOME STAFFING SHORTAGES. WE HAVE DONE OUR HOMEWORK, WE HAVE BEEN THE ONES REACH OUT OFTEN. THERE HAS BEEN NO FURTHER

UPDATES SINCE LAST WEEK. >> THANK YOU. >> BUT THEN THEY ASKED AGAIN IN AUGUST AND THEY STILL DIDN'T GET BACK WITH YOU. YOU WENT TO A MEETING AND THEY

STILL DIDN'T COME TO THE MEETING. >> THANK YOU.

>> I'M A LITTLE DISMAYED NO ONE IS COMMUNICATING AS TO THEIR NEEDS, WANTS AND DESIRES.

IT IS ART FOR ME TOO SPECULATE. >> WE DO NEED TO RESPOND. THIS IS OUR RESPONSE.

>> THIS THAT'S A PRECEDENT FOR HOW WE WILL TREAT OTHER NON- EMERGENCY ENTITIES ASKING TO USE

THE SYSTEM. >> YES IT WILL. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT THE SCHOOL WOULD GIVE IT TO THEM FOR NOTHING BUT I AM OPPOSED TO GIVING THINGS AWAY.

I LIKE PARTICIPATION. I THINK THE FULL MAINTENANCE OPTION WOULD BE A REASONABLE PLACE TO BE. THE 174,000 THAT INCLUDES REPLACEMENT OF TOWERS AND THAT SORT OF THING. THAT IS THE STUFF THE COUNTY WENT DRIED.

>> YES WE WOULD BE IN CONTROL. >> WE ARE PROVIDING SOME STRUCTURE FOR US.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS FAIR TO SING THEM FOR THAT.

HIM ON THE FENCE. IF WE DON'T START, WE COULD END UP WITH TECHNOLOGY THAT FALLS ON THE FACTS OF THEM AND WE HAVE TO REPLACE A BUNCH OF TOWERS AND THE SYSTEMS THAT NO ONE HAS CONTRIBUTED TO BUT US. THE SCHOOL BOARD THEMSELVES FOUND THEMSELVES -- AND THAT IS WHY THEY PASS FOR THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE. I WANT TO BE SENSITIVE TO THEIR BUDGET NEEDS AND THE FACT THAT, THEY APPROACHED US BECAUSE THEY HAVE A REAL PROBLEM.

THEY DON'T HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO SET UP THIS SYSTEM.

SO, IT REALLY WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL. I WAS LEADING TOWARDS -- YOU SAID IN TWO OR THREE YEARS WE THEY ARE IN THEIR STRUCTURAL LIFE AND DUE TO THE GROWTH IN THE COUNTY, WE MAY HAVE AN ENTIRE SITE THOSE WILL BE EXPENSIVE FROM AN INFRASTRUCTURE STANDPOINT. I DO, AND YOU SPOKE TO ME ABOUT AND I REALLY DON'T REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT ASIDE FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WHAT OTHER ENTITIES WOULD WANT TO

[01:45:02]

PARTICIPATE. >> IT COULD BE NON- PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCIES.

POSSIBLY, CLAY COUNTY UTILITY AUTHORITY. POSSIBLY CLAY ELECTRIC.

IT COULD BE OTHER AGENCIES OF THAT NATURE. THOSE ARE CANDIDATES.

THERE'S BEEN NO DISCUSSION WITH THOSE FOLKS AT THAT STAGE. BUT THOSE ARE THE CLIENTS AND

CUSTOMERS WHO COULD JOIN AT A LATER DATE. >> IF SOMEONE CAME ON.

THE 14% WOULD CHANGE. >> THAT IS CORRECT. AND WE HAVE OPPOSITION -- TO ADJUST ANNUALLY SO FOR INSTANCE, IF THEY CHOSE TO PURCHASE MORE, AND BY THE SAME TOKEN IF WE

PURCHASE MORE TEARS WOULD GO DOWN. >> IF WE PASS THIS WITH ONE OF THE OPTIONS AND WE SEND IT OVER THERE AND THEY DECIDE THE URGENCY IS BACK AND THEY WANT TO

RESPOND. IS IT MODIFIABLE? >> WE TALKED ABOUT THIS EARLIER.

INSTEAD OF APPROVING THE AGREEMENT FOR MOVING IT FORWARD, YOU SHOULD APPROVE IT AS A

PROPOSAL. >> >> THEN GO BACK TO NEGOTIATION.

I LIKE THAT IDEA. >> IT SEEMS FRIENDLY. >> THEN THEY CAN MOVE ON AND DO SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD TO DO SOMETHING.

>> WE HAVE PLENTY OF WORK IN FRONT OF US. >> ANY FURTHER COMMENTS?

>> THIS IS AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT, AND THE ONLY THING MISSING IS A NUMBER.

>> THEN WE WILL SEND IT OVER THERE. IT HAS TO BE SIGNED BY BOTH

PARTIES AND THEY CAN LIKE IT OR NOT SIGN IT. >> THAT IS CORRECT.

THEY HAVE EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE NOW. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO

THEM AS WELL. >> WE WILL AGREE ON A NUMBER AND WE WILL STAND ON OUR WORD.

>> IF THEY AGREED THEY WILL SIGN IN. >> THEY HAVE HAD THE

THREE OPTIONS AND THEY HAVE NOT SAID A WORD. >> I THINK YOU CAN CHOOSE FOR YOU CAN CHOOSE THIS IS THE ONLY FORM OR WHAT WE APPROVE OR YOU CAN SAY THIS IS OUR PROPOSAL, WE

HAVE DISCUSSED THIS AND THIS IS THE OPTION THAT WE CHOOSE. >> THIS WILL BE OUR AGREEMENT AND IF THEY DON'T LIKE IT, THEY WON'T SIGN IT. THEY CAN EITHER RENEGOTIATE FOR

SOMETHING ELSE OR I DON'T KNOW. >> I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE AGREE TO THIS.

IF THEY SIGN IT IS DONE. >> I THINK WE ARE ASKING YOU TO AUTHORIZE ONE OF THE OPTIONS IN THE AGREEMENT FOR A PRESENTATION. JUST LIKE YOU SAID, THEY MAY COME BACK WITH CHANGES LEGALLY. THEY MAY COME BACK WITH QUESTIONS FINANCIALLY.

OR THEY MAY BOTH AT THE WHOLE THING. >> THIS IS OUR OFFER.

I THINK OUR INTENT IS TO RESPOND TO THEIR LETTER. >> I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE SEND

AN OPTION WITH OPTION TWO. >> THAT IS MY MOTION. NOT HEARING A SECOND I WILL

ENTERTAIN ANOTHER MOTION. >> WE SEND THE AGREEMENT OVER WITH OPTION NUMBER THREE.

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

ALL IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING AYE. OPPOSED, SAME SIDE.

IT CARRIES 3-1. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> WE HAVE THE SECOND PART WHICH IS THE FIVE-YEAR THING. DO WE HAVE TO DO ANYTHING WITHOUT?

>> THAT IS YOUR FAVORITE. >> WAIVE THE POLICY. >> I JUST DO NOT LIKE THESE

THINGS TO BE RENEWED FOREVER. >> SO THE STAFF REQUESTS IS THE CURRENT POLICY ONLY PROVIDES FOR THE ONE RENEWAL. THIS WOULD PROVIDE FOR, WHAT IS IT, TO FIVE YEAR RENEWALS.

[01:50:06]

OKAY. >> DISCUSSION? >> WHAT IS YOUR?

>> I THINK WE STARTED THAT INTERNALLY HERE. IT IS A BIG INVESTMENT ON THEIR PART. IF I WERE IN THEIR SHOES BUY NEW EQUIPMENT, I WOULD WANT CERTAINLY THAT THE INVESTMENT WOULD LAST. THIS BASICALLY GIVES THEM 15 YEARS OF USE. WE DO THINK THAT IS A GOOD IDEA. I THINK THAT IS FAIR.

I WOULD WANT THAT IF I WERE IN THEIR SHOES. >> I MOVED APPROVAL ON ITEM

NUMBER TWO. >> SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A

[17.  Community Services Commercial Lease Agreement with Big Score Investors, LLC (T. Nagle)]

[01:55:01]

THIS IS THE GUYS I WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH. >> THAT HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS COMMENT THERE. THIS IS OUR COMMERCIAL LEASE. WE WILL BE LEASING SPACE FROM THEM TO MOVE THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DIVISION AND COMMUNITY PARAMEDICS DIVISION OVER TO THAT BUILDING. AS YOU KNOW, THEY ARE HOUSE THAT THE PIECE OF PROPERTY OR BUILDING THAT WILL BECOME OUR COMBINED COMMUNICATION CENTER. THEY WILL BE VACATING SOONER THAN LATER. THE BUILDING WILL BE REDEVELOPED.

THAT WILL GIVE US THE NEED FOR SPACE FOR GRANTS AND MORE. THIS IS THE AGREEMENT.

IT IS ON COLLEGE DRIVE NEAR THE OTHER PIECES OR THE SERVICES FOR THE COUNTY.

AND TO ANSWER THE QUESTION THERE IS NO OTHER SPACE BAR COUNTY HAS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME THAT WE

CAN MOVE INTO, TO HOUSE THAT MANY PEOPLE. >> OF MANY PEOPLE?

>> 25 -ISH. TOTAL BETWEEN ALL OF THE DIVISIONS.

>> JUST FOR FUTURE EDIFICATION YOU MAY MENTION WHAT YOU WILL USE IT FOR.

THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEASE AND THAT STUFF. I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU WERE BUYING IT FOR. I WOULD BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT WHY WE ARE LEASING EXTRA

PROPERTY THAN THE AT THIS POINT. >> UNDERSTAND. WE WILL.OUT THIS IS FUNDED THROUGH ARP ERA OR OTHER GRANT FUNDING THAT WE HAVE. IT'S A 62 MONTH LEASE.

>> THE REASON IT IS FIVE YEARS, THEY WILL DO CONSTRUCTION COSTS THAT ARE FACTORED INTO THE

RENTAL WHICH MADE SENSE FOR THE COUNTY TO GO TO FIVE YEARS. >> ANY QUESTIONS.

[18.  FY2021/2022 Funding Agreements with Non-Profit Agencies (V. Hapner)]

IT CARRIES 4-0. >> NUMBER 18. FISCAL YEAR 2021-2022 FUNDING AGREEMENTS WITH NONPROFIT AGENCIES. TANGELO.

I'M THE SOCIAL SERVICE MANAGER. THIS IS FOR THE APPROVAL FOR FOR PERMANENT NONPROFIT AGENCIES.

CLAY BEHAVIORAL AND THE ASTRID INDICATES THIS IS REQUIRED BECAUSE OF THE SERVICES THEY PROVIDE. POSSIBLE CHILDREN SERVICES WHICH PROVIDE THE PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN ESPECIALLY FOCUSED ON THOSE THAT ARE IN THE LOW INCOME ON CHALLENGE ENTERPRISE WHICH HELPS THOSE WHICH HAVE DIFFERENT ABILITIES AND HOUSING THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND HELP WITH& WOMEN'S SHELTERS IN CLAY COUNTY. I WILL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

>> I HAVE SOME. SO MY FIRST QUESTION IS, I THINK THAT YOU ARE ALREADY ON THIS.

BUT IT SAYS, A PORTION OF THE SERVICES ARE REQUIRED. I ACTUALLY READ THE STATUTE AND IT SAYS, WITH SUCCESS. I UNDERSTAND, THAT IS A VAGUE TERM, HOW DO YOU MEASURE SUCCESS. BUT I THINK GOING FORWARD, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS AT FINANCE AND AUDIT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME SORT OF A METRICS SO WE CAN ENSURE THERE IS SUCCESS.

AND THAT, -- >> I KNOW, AND I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE WILL ASK THESE QUESTIOS BUT, WE ARE LOOKING AT HOW WE PROVIDE THE FUNDING TO THE INDIVIDUALS IN THE PROCESS.

WE HAVE FORMED A COMMITTEE AND WE WILL REVAMP THE PROGRAM. THE PARAMETERS AND THE WAY WE

[02:00:01]

I KNOW ONE OF THE THINGS, THAT I HAVE STRUGGLED WITH IS WHY DO WE PROVIDE THIS TO NONPROFITS.

PERSONALLY, THEY DO FILE CAP THAT WE DO NOT PROVIDE. A LOT OF TIMES THEY PROVIDE SERVICES THAT WE AS COUNTY GOVERNMENT CANNOT PROVIDE. THERE ARE TIMES WE CALL ON PARTNERS TO ASSIST HELPING THE RESIDENTS. SO, MY PROPOSED PLAN, THE BOARD WOULD ESTABLISH FUNDING TO MOVE FORWARD PRIOR TO US ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS.

SO IF YOU WANT TO DO THE FUNDING YOU WOULD DETERMINE THE AMOUNT, SET IT FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR END WE WOULD MOVE FORWARD. WE ALSO WANT THE BOARD TO CHOOSE OUR FOCUS.

WHETHER THAT IS HUMANITY OR EDUCATION. WHEN WE GO THROUGH AND READ FULL -- REVIEW THE APPLICATIONS WE DO HAVE A FOCUS FOR THAT YEAR. MOST GRANTS, AS YOU KNOW, YOU ARE APPLYING FOR A SPECIFIC REASON. THAT HELPS US TO DETERMINE WHAT WE WANT TO FOCUS ON WHETHER THAT IS A NEED WE SEE OR SOMETHING WE FEEL LIKE WE HAVE A GAP IN SERVICES. SO, THE COMMITTEE WILL REVIEW THE APPLICATION AND SCORE THE ORGANIZATION BASED ON THE PARAMETERS SAID. THEN A CREATION OF REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE FUNDING. WHETHER THAT IS MONTHLY, QUARTERLY, HOWEVER WE WANT TO SET THE PARAMETERS. AND THE CREATION OF THE FINAL REPORT AND A PRESENTATION AT THE END TO SHOW EVERYONE WHAT THEY DID WITH THE FUNDING. THAT IS AN OUTLINE OF HOW I

PROPOSE MOVING FORWARD. >> THAT WAS A LONG ANSWER. >> I ASKED AT FINANCE AND AUDIT.

>> THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY EXACT RECOMMENDATION. >> MY SECOND QUESTION IS, I KNOW MOST OF THE ORGANIZATIONS ASKED FOR MORE FUNDING. MY ASSUMPTION IS, MS. RODRIGUEZ WAS HERE, CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THEIR INCREASED CALL VOLUME AND THEIR NEED FOR MORE FUNDING.

MY QUESTION IS MAY BE TWOFOLD. ONE WOULD BE, IT MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE TO REEVALUATE BUT IF WE WERE TO DO THAT WHAT WOULD IT DO TO THE BUDGET WE DID EVALUATE THAT?

I DID NOT WRITE DOWN HER NUMBERS. >> IT WENT DOWN.

>> THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT SHE SAID. IT IS EXPONENTIAL IN GROWTH AND

THAT WAS CONCERNING. THAT ONE REALLY STUCK OUT TO ME. >> SO JUST SEEING HOW IF WE CUT

FUNDING. >> CAN WE ADD LATER. CAN WE ADD FUNDING LATER AND IF

WE DO WHAT DOES IT DO TO THE BUDGET? >> THAT IS SOMETHING WE WOULD

HAVE TO LOOK INTO. >> IF I MAY COMMENT ON THAT. WE HAVE TO FUND IT FROM A PARTICULAR FUND. THERE ARE ALTERNATE REVENUE STREAMS WE HAVE RIGHT NOW.

THIS EXAMPLE WITH NECESSARILY HAVE TO COME INTO PLAY. BUT IF THERE ARE OTHER GRANTS OUT THERE, THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER FUNDING STREAM. BUT IF THERE'S NO OTHER, THE MONEY WOULD COME FROM CONTINGENCY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE BOARD

UNDERSTAND THAT IS WHERE THE BOARDS WOULD COME FROM. >> MAY BE IF WE USE THE TEAM TO HELP THEM FIND ADDITIONAL GRANTS , OBVIOUSLY THE BUDGET WAS PASSED LAST MEETING.

BUT MAY BE OF, I DON'T KNOW THERE'S A POSSIBILITY -- >> I WILL ANSWER THE QUESTION, THE FACT ON THE CURRENT BUDGET WOULD BE, YOU COULD CHANGE THE AGREEMENTS WE HAVE SPANNED THE CONFINES OF THE CURRENT BUDGET YOU COULD MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION AND IF THERE IS A TIE, THERE IS A DOLLAR AMOUNT TO GO TOWARDS COMMUNITY SERVICES WHICH COULD BE A GRANT PROGRAM

[02:05:03]

WHAT ARE YOUR NEEDS. IF WE SEEK GRANTS, WE MAY NOT USE TAX DOLLARS BUT WE CAN GIVE THEM GUIDANCE AND SAY, HERE IS SOME DATA YOU MAY USED TO SUBMIT FOR THAT GRANT.

I THINK IT IS A COMBINATION OF ALL FOUR OF THEM. >> ANYONE ELSE?

>> MY CONCERN IS STATUTORY REQUIREMENT. WHAT ARE THE DESIRES TO MEET THE THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF NONPROFITS OUT THERE. WE HAVE HEARD FROM ONLY ONE TONIGHT. FOOD INSECURITY. WE DID NOT HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT THAT BUT IT IS A PROBLEM. IT IS A SLIPPERY SLOPE WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT TAXPAYERS MONEY.

IT IS A VERY SLIPPERY SLOPE. IT IS NOT FUN TO SLIDE DOWN BECAUSE PEOPLE BEAT YOU UP.

ANYWAY, WE NEED TO BE PROCESS ORIENTED. THE COUNTY NORTH OF US DOING THAT RIGHT NOW. THEY ARE ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE NEWSPAPER BECAUSE OF THAT.

>> WE HAVE DONE THAT ALL A LONG. THE BUDGET FOR THE NONPROFIT AS BEEN 295,000 WE HAVE TRY TO STAY WITHIN THAT ENVELOPE. THE PROBLEM IS YOU TAKE A NOUMENON THEN YOU HAVE TO SHORT THE NEXT GUY ON THE LIST. WHAT WE ARE REALLY DOING IS TRANSFERRING MONEY.

WE ARE TAKING TAXPAYER DOLLARS THAT THEY GIVE TO US AND WE ARE DECIDING WHICH CHARACTERS -- CHARITY SHOULD GET IT. THE OTHER WAY TO DO IT IS LET THE TAXPAYERS FUND WHAT THEY FEEL IS MOST DESERVING. I LIKE ABOUT CONCEPT. I THINK WE OUGHT TO DECLARE LINE ITEMS FOR THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE TO PAY FOR, AND THERE IS CLAY BEHAVIORAL.

THOSE SHOULD NOT BE IN HERE. AND THEN, THE REST OF THE MONEY. I WANT TO SAY, THOSE THAT HAVE IT BAKED IN THIS WILL CHANGE. BEYOND NOTICE THAT IT WILL NOT STAY THE SAME.

WE ARE NOT SURE WHAT IT WILL BE LIKE. IT WILL CHANGE.

I HAVE ALREADY COMMUNICATED THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT IT. WE WILL DEFINITELY MAKE SURE WE

COMMUNICATE THAT TO ALL OF THE NONPROFITS. >> THAT WILL GIVE EVERYONE A YEAR TO DECIDE HOW THEY WILL ADDRESS THE ISSUE. THAT IS FAIR.

>> BEARS NO LIMIT. >> THE DRUG AND ALCOHOL SPECIFICALLY SAYS IN THE STATUTE IF ACCESSIBLE. THAT WOULD BE MORE THAN JUST SUBMITTING FOR REIMBURSEMENT THAT WE PAID SOMEONE TO DO THE WORK. THAT TO MEAN INDICATES THE LEGISLATION INTENDED A METRICS TO DETERMINE IF THE PROGRAM WAS HAVING SUCCESS.

THAT WAY WHEN WE REEVALUATE WE COULD DECIDE WHETHER WE WANT TO KEEP PUTTING THE MONEY THERE OR SOURCE A DIFFERENT PLACE. WE HAVE TO PROVIDE SERVICES BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT

PARTICULAR ENTITY. >> I AM NOT SUPER VERSE ON THE STATUTE BUT THEY DO PROVIDE A SPECIFIC SET OF SERVICES TO THE COUNTY. BUT THEY DO NOT LABEL PLATE

BEHAVIORAL. >> I GUESS WE ARE IN A POSITION NOW, WHERE WE HAVE TO ENTERTAIN

A MOTION AND APPROVE 1-4 CAN WE DO THIS ALL AT ONCE? >> I MOVED FOR APPROVAL.

>> I ACCEPT. >> A MOTION AND A SECOND. >> WHERE WILL WE FIND OUT?

>> I CAN BRING IT TO THE NEXT BOARD MEETING AND GIVE AN UPDATE.

[02:10:05]

DECISIONS IF YOU ARE OKAY WITH THAT. >> OKAY.

>> ALL IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING AYE. IT CARRIES 4-0.

[19.  State of Florida Department of Health Operation Agreement]

>> THANK YOU. THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH OPERATIONAL AGREEMENT.

>> THIS IS OUR ANNUAL FUNDING WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. THIS IS THE AMOUNT YOU APPROVED IN THE BUDGET. $998,000 OR THE OPERATIONAL EXPENSE.

WE DO HAVE OTHER FUNDING WHICH INCLUDES SOME BUILDING MAINTENANCE AND GROUND MAINTENANCE. WE SET ASIDE FUNDING FOR THAT. AND 7,000 SET ASIDE FOR VEHICLE MAINTENANCE. THAT IS, IT'S WHAT WE DO EACH YEAR.

THEY DID A GREAT JOB FOR US THIS PAST YEAR. I DID ASK OTHER TO HANG OUT IN

CASE YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. >> IT HAS BEEN A TOUGH YEAR. TANGIBLE QUESTION.

ANNUAL RENTAL EQUIVALENT, 500,000. IS THAT WHAT WE ARE ESTIMATING THE BUILDING VALUE TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. WE ARE GIVING IT $1.4 MILLION

INSTEAD OF 900,000 INSTEAD OF -- >> THAT IS CORRECT. THE BUILDINGS ARE OWNED BY THE COUNTY. WE DO HAVE SPACE ON THE THIRD FLOOR.

>> WE ARE ESTIMATING THAT TO BE WORTH $500,000 PER YEAR IN YOUR BUDGET?

>> YES, SIR. >> AND THE SAME VALUE FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

>> ANY QUESTIONS? >> I THINK THE STATE SHOULD GIVE THEM MORE MONEY.

WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC. WE THINK THEY SHOULD FIND YOU A

LITTLE MORE. >> AS YOU HAVE SEEN OVER THE TIME RELATED TO THE PANDEMIC.

PUBLIC HEALTH HAS NEVER BEEN ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE PAPER UNLESS SOMETHING WAS GOING WRONG. OVER THE LAST TWO DECADES WHAT YOU HAVE FOUND IS THAT PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENTS HAVE BEEN DEFUNDED OR REDUCED. SO WHEN THE PANDEMIC IT WE HAD VERY LITTLE NUMBERS TO RESPOND TO THAT. WE ARE FORTUNATE IN OUR DEPARTMENT BECAUSE WE DID CROSSTRAINING AND WE COULD PULL CAP THAT HAD OTHER AREAS TO THE CASE INVESTIGATIONS. IT DOES TAKE A SPECIFIC SKILL SET TO DO THE CONTACT TRACING AND LOOKING AT OUTBREAKS AND WHAT HAPPENS WITH THOSE. WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE WITHOUT.

WE CONTINUED TO DO THAT MODEL HAVING THE CROSSTRAINING OF PEOPLE ARE NOT SILENT.

WE HAVE TO BE THERE FOR HURRICANES AND NOW THE PANDEMIC. >> ONE LAST QUESTION?

HOW MANY EMPLOYEES? >> WE TYPICALLY HAVE 70. WE HAVE ADDED 30 STAFF THAT WE HAVE ON BOARD THROUGH FEDERAL FUNDING. WE HAVE ABOUT 80-90 STAFF TOTAL.

THEY SERVE 220,000 RESIDENTS. >> WILL THERE BE A TIME WHEN YOU ENVISIONED YOU WILL REDUCE THE

STAFFING LEVELS? >> ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE COVID-19? WE HAVE THE FUNDING AS THE QUESTION WAS ASKED ABOUT WILL IT BE OVER WHEN THE FUNDING IS OVER. 2023-2024 THAT FUNDING WILL EXPIRE.

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT COVID-19 WOULD BE OVER TOMORROW. IT WILL BE WHAT IT WILL BE.

IT IS HERE TO STAY, WE JUST DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF AN IMPACT IT WILL HAVE ON OUR DAILY LIVES.

>> OKAY, ANYTHING ELSE? >> YOUR FUNDING REALLY SUPPORTS, MAKING SURE WE DO A GOOD JOB OF STEWARDS OF YOUR MONEY BY MAKING SURE WE ARE FUNDING A LOT OF THE FUNCTIONS THAT WILL TOUCH EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF THEIR ECONOMIC STATUS AND WHAT RACE THEY ARE.

POLITICAL AFFILIATION. SOME OF OUR COMMUNAL DISEASE DEPARTMENT THAT DEAL WITH YOUR OUTBREAKS OR ANYTHING WE DO WITH CONTACT TRACING. THOSE IN ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH WHICH IS THE ON THE THIRD FLOOR. JUST TO SHOW YOU, HOW MUCH, THE AMOUNT OF GROWTH WE HAVE SEEN IN THE COMMUNITY. WE DID DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF PERMITTING AND INSPECTIONS THAT WE DID LAST YEAR. IT IS TRULY SHOWING YOU THE GROWTH THAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE

[02:15:02]

TO DO THOSE INSPECTIONS AND PERMITS. >> I HOLD THAT, I WON'T DO THAT

FOR YOU. THAT WAS IN MY PAST LIFE. >> YES.

>> THANK YOU EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO. >> I MOVED FOR APPROVAL.

[CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS]

>> MY NAME IS RICK ON THE COMP TRAWLER OFFICER. I WANT TO GIVE YOU A QUICK UPDATE ON THE INVESTMENT COMMITTEE. WE HAVE BEEN MEETING.

WE HAD A MEETING A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. WE WILL HAVE A FINAL ONE SMALL TO FINALIZE THE LAST TOPICS OF DISCUSSION. WE ARE READY TO GIVE A FULL REPORT AT THE NEXT BOARD MEETING ON THE 26TH. WITH THAT, IF IT BLEEDS THE BOARD, IF WE CAN BE PUT IN THE PRESENTATION SECTION, WE HAVE A POWER POINT.

I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE MAKE SURE YOU GUYS ARE OKAY WITH IT.

>> THANK YOU FOR THE HEADS UP. >> COMMISSIONER? >> JUST REMEMBER THAT WE ARE

[COUNTY ATTORNEY]

AND ALSO, WE HAD THE FIRST ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING AND THEY HAVE SCHEDULED THEIR NEXT FOR

OCTOBER 28. >> BEAUX-ARTS ON TELEVISION SO WE CAN REVIEW?

[COUNTY MANAGER]

COUNTY MANAGER. >> VICE CHAIR AND BOARD. A FEW ITEMS. FIRST I WANT TO START OFF WITH AN UPDATE ON PINE RIDGE. I WANT RICHARD SMITH TO COME UP AND BRIEF YOU ALL. WE NOW HAVE AN EDUCATION FROM THE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY WHOM WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH TO STABILIZE THE AREA. MANY OF YOU HAVE SEEN THE PICTURES, IN THE AREA WHICH SHOW WE HAVE DECLARED AN EMERGENCY. IT WAS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE ALONG THE ROADWAY. AND WHERE THERE IS PERFIDY PROPERTY -- PERSONAL PROPERTY WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IT WON'T BE AFFECTED BY THIS. THE HISTORY WAS, IT IS A STRUCTURE THAT IS APPROXIMATELY 12 FEET IN DEPTH. IT HAS BROKEN QUITE A FEW TIMES AND HAS CAUSED A WATER MAIN TO RUPTURE AT LEAST TWICE THAT I KNOW OF.

ALL OF THAT WATER AND EVERYTHING GOING ON AS DEFINITELY LOOSENED UP THE SOIL AND BECOME A HAZARD.

LOOKING AT THIS, THIS HAS BEEN A GOOD PARTNERSHIP. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO CUT OFF WATER. I BELIEVE RICHARD WILL BACK ME UP ON THAT.

THEY NOW HAVE THE ABILITY TO SHUT THE WATER OFF THEIR. THAT WAS KEY FOR THE PROJECT.

THE LAST TIME DEBRIEFED WE TALKED ABOUT SHEET PILING. WENT YOU THINK ABOUT IT IS METAL SHEETING. THIS HAS TO BE DRIVEN INTO THE GROUND TO ENSURE THERE IS NO COLLAPSE OF THE SOIL. WE ALSO BRIEF LAST TIME ON THE STRUCTURE THAT WOULD BE PREMADE THAT IS THERE. RICHARD HAS GOOD NEWS ON THAT ONE.

AND THERE IS COST-SAVING ON THAT. I CAN'T SAY IT WILL BE PLEASANT ON THE AMOUNT OF MONEY. WE AREN'T LOOKING FOR THE BOARD TO MOVE FORWARD ON THIS.

TO GET THIS AREA SHOP. WE WILL PUT THE PIPES IN BEFORE THESE THAT HAVE COLLAPSED.

IT WAS THE INITIAL REASON OF WHY THIS STARTED TO ERODE AND GO AWAY.

I WILL ADD, ALONG THIS THERE IS A WHERE BLOCK THAT LEADS ALL OF THE STORMWATER TO A POND.

AND RICHARD CAN ALSO ADDRESS THAT ALONG WITH TERESA. AND FOR THE ESTIMATE OF MACED

[02:20:09]

MADE IT TALK COST. >> WE HAD A MEETING YESTERDAY. IN THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT WITH THE CONSTRUCTION FOLKS AS WELL AS OUR EYES AND EARS OUT THERE ON THE CRA PORTION.

WE ALSO HAVE WANTED OUR OWN SITE. THE SCHEDULE IS, WE WILL BEGIN SHEET PILES AND THEY WILL BEGIN SECURING THIS. EVEN THOUGH IT IS A DEEP HOLE, IT IS A BIG RECTANGLE. THE FILES HAVE TO GO 40-50 FEET DEEP BECAUSE OF THE INSTABILITY TO MAKE SURE THEY DO NOT CAVE IN. THAT BEGINS NEXT WEEK.

IN THE MEANTIME WE HAVE UNIVERSAL ON-CALL. 28 ADJACENT HOMES.

WE KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TODAY. WE WILL KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN THE EVENT . WE WILL BE READY FOR ANY CLAIMS SO WE CAN SUBSTANTIATE WHETHER THEY ARE VALID OR NOT. THAT IS WHAT WE ARE DOING DURING THIS WEEK.

AND THE, AS FAR AS THE STRUCTURE WE WERE ABLE TO USE LARGER PROJECTS ON STATE ROAD 23.

THEY WERE ABLE TO GET MATERIAL THAT HAS TAKEN 4-6 WEEKS FOR THE NORMAL PROJECT TO GET.

WE WERE ABLE TO GET THINGS ON THE JOB SITE. THEY HAVE ALSO AGREED SOME OF THE STUFF THAT WE HAVE TO DISPOSE OF, THEY WILL TAKE IT ONTO STATE ROUTE 23.

SOMETIMES IT IS GOOD TO HAVE A "BIG BROTHER". THEY ARE A BIG BROTHER FROM A CONSTRUCTION STANDPOINT. THE STRUCTURE WE EXPECT IS $5,000 SAVINGS.

THEY REVISE THEIR SCHEDULE IN THIS PROPOSAL THEY SENT ME ON FRIDAY.

THEY PLANNED TO BE FINISHED AROUND OCTOBER 30. I WON'T PUBLICIZE THAT.

YOU HEARD NOVEMBER 15. THEY THINK THEY SHOULD BE FINISHED BY THE END OF OCTOBER, WEATHER PERMITTING AND NO UNKNOWN SPIRIT THAT INCLUDES BACKFILL, REPAIR, GUTTER, EVERYTHING PUT INTO PLACE AND RESURFACING OF THE INTERSECTION. WE WILL EXPAND TO MAKE SURE WE COVER ALL POINTS. AT THAT POINT WE WILL BEGIN AN ASSESSMENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE DO HAVE REPORTS AND VIDEO THAT THERE ARE POTENTIAL AREAS ON THE SURFACE.

THERE'S REALLY NOT MUCH EVIDENCE. ONE AREA HAS A SMALL BUT WE WILL BE ABLE TO GO IN SAFELY WITH CAMERAS LOOK AT THE MANHOLES AND SEE AND SCOPE OUT THE FULL NEIGHBORHOOD AT LEAST GIVE US A TIMELINE. DOES ANYONE -- AND BY THE WAY THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, THESE ARE BASED ON 12 HOUR DAYS, SEVEN DAYS PER WEEK.

SOME WILL BE MORE. THEY HAVE REQUESTED DELIVERING AT 4:30 A.M.

YOU HAVE TO GET THAT IN AND CURED. ONE OF THE CONTRACTORS, THEY WANT IT FIXED AND A PIECE OF MINE. THEY UNDERSTAND THE

INCONVENIENCE. >> BUT THEY ARE ABLE TO GET IN THERE.

>> THEY ARE ABLE TO GET IN-AND-OUT OF THEIR HOMES. >> WE HAVEN'T CLOSED ANY DRIVEWAY SHE HAD. THE DETOUR IS WHERE YOU'RE NOT GETTING MUCH ROOM.

AFTER SCHOOL GETS OUT WE HAVE FENCING. NOT JUST SILK FENCE.

[02:25:08]

THIS IS REALLY HELPING. >> MY BIG QUESTION IS, AND I AM GLAD YOU WILL DO FURTHER INSPECTIONS, WHAT WILL WE DO TO MAKE SURE IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

>> MOVING FORWARD, THIS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AGAIN. WE DON'T HAVE THE EQUIPMENT TO GO BACK IN. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING PUBLIC WORKS CAN GO IN WITH A CHILD AND EMPLOYEES AND REPAIR. THIS IS A HUGE JOB. WHEN WE GET PLANS, I WILL BE FRANK WITH YOU. WE STILL HAVE TO, SINCE THERE ARE ROADS, WE HAVE TO DO THESE THINGS. WE ARE NOT ALLOWING AND WE HAVE NOT ALLOWED THIS FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. BUT WE WILL BE MORE STRICT TO MAKE SURE WE DO NOT HAVE 17 DEEP STRUCTURES. IN IT. THIS IS WHY THIS IS NOT, SEND PEOPLE OUT WITH THE BACKHOE AND FIX IT. THERE IS A PUMP IS PUMPING CONTINUOUSLY TO TAKE THE WATER. AROUND THE WORK AREA AND DIVERTED.

THAT IS WHAT WE ARE DOING. I WILL LOOK TO SEE IF THE ENGINEER WILL DO IT.

THEN WE WILL TAKE ANOTHER. >> MAKE SURE YOU FIX IT SO IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

>> ALSO, JUST TO BREAK DOWN THE NUMBERS AND THE COST AND YOU ARE NOT CAUGHT OFF GUARD, ALMOST $571,000 FOR THIS FIX. ALL OF THAT MONEY, $207,000 IS SHOWING UP FOR THAT SHEET PILING BECAUSE. ANOTHER $94,000 IN MATERIAL AND 96,000 IN LABOR.

RICHARD HAS A DETAILED SHEET BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE BOARD UNDERSTANDS THE MAJORITY OF THIS IS SHEET PILING AND IT'S A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT. TWO FIFTHS OF THE COST EASILY.

>> DID WE APPROVE BACK? >> I AM COMING TO THE BOARD NOW, IF THERE'S ISSUES BECAUSE IT IS DECLARED AN EMERGENCY. WE CAN MOVE FORWARD TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

THERE ARE MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS. >> I THOUGHT ON OUR LAST UPDATE THERE WAS AN INDICATION THAT

THERE WASN'T AN EMERGENCY. >> IT WAS STATED ON RECORD IT WAS NO LONGER AN EMERGENCY.

>> THE OTHER QUESTION IS, WILL THERE BE ENOUGH MONEY, AND OUTLINE OF THE CIP TO FIX IT OR

WILL WE BE LOOKING AT MOVING ITEMS AROUND? >> WE DO NOT KNOW UNTIL THE SURVEY IS COMPLETE FOR THE REST OF IT THERE. WE DO NOT HAVE INDICATIONS OF ANYTHING THIS SEVERE. THE REMAINING AMOUNT WOULDWOULDN THE METHOD THEY WOULD DO, MAY BE LIGHTING THE OTHER PIPES AND TO MAKE SURE IT IS NO LONGER ERODING.

>> AS RICHARD MENTIONED THE SYSTEM IS SURCHARGE SPIRIT NOT ONLY ARE WE DEALIN WITH THE DEPTH SYSTEM BUT WERE LOOKING AT THE ELEVATION. TYPICALLY IT IS CHALLENGING TO DO THAT WITH THE WATER SO YOU HAVE TO PLUG AT IT. WE HAVE FOUND A COMPANY THAT SAYS THEY CAN COME IN TO INVESTIGATE WITH THE WATER THE SYSTEM.

THAT IS SOMETHING WE WILL WORK WITH TO SEE IF IT IS FEASIBLE TO PIGGYBACK OFF OF.

I THINK MILTON HAS AN AGREEMENT IN PLACE. THAT WILL HELP US INVESTIGATE THE END OF REST OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE DO NOT SEE THE EXCESSIVE SETTLEMENT WE SAW. BUT AGAIN IT IS A MATTER OF TIME WE WERE ABLE TO TV WHERE THE

[02:30:02]

UNTIL WE DO THE INVESTIGATION WE DON'T WANT TO MAKE ANY COMMITMENTS.

>> WHAT WE MEAN BY LINING IS PUTTING A NEW PIPE AND IT. IN THIS CASE, WE REALLY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF OPTIONS IT HAS ABOUT 15 DRIVEWAYS. WE HAVE TO REALLY INVESTIGATE THE AREA TO MAKE SURE IT IS A. UTMOST IMPORTANCE. THE FIRST THING YOU CAME TO US AND NOW WE ARE OVER HALF OF A MILLION. COMPLICATED MEANS EXPENSIVE.

>> IF YOU GO LOOKING, YOU WILL FIND. >> I THINK ON THIS ONE, IT HAS BEEN A DYNAMIC SITUATION. I THINK WE.OVERLY OPTIMISTIC AT THE BEGINNING.

AND THEN REALLY WHEN WE TOOK A LOOK AT THE CORE OF THE SOIL, THAT IS WHAT OPENED THIS UP AND TOOK US TO ANOTHER LEVEL TO THE SENSE OF URGENCY. WE CAN'T KEEP PUTTING IT OFF.

TERESA CAN ADDRESS THE DYNAMIC SITUATION TOO. >> IF I COULD AD, THIS IS A MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACKING BOAT WE BELIEVE THE WATER MAIN BREAKS HAVE CREATED SOME ISSUES IN THE AREA. AS WE HAVE CONTINUED TO INVESTIGATE ALONG THE SIDEWALK AND OUTSIDE OF THE BOX WE ARE FINDING A SUITABLE FILL IN THE AREAS.

I BELIEVE THERE WERE THREE WATER MAIN BREAK SPIRIT AGAIN, UNTIL WE DO THE INVESTIGATION, WE CANNOT SAY WE DON'T HAVE THESE CONDITIONS BUT WE ARE OPTIMISTIC.

>> WHEN THERE IS THEN AUTOMATIC WATER MAIN BREAK DO THEY HELP US WITH THE COST OF FIXING IT.

THEY HAVE ABOUT MAINTENANCE BUDGET AS WELL. >> TWO UP THE BRAKES WERE THEY WOULD EXPOSE THE ISSUE AND I AM ASSUMING THEY DID A PATCH AT THE SURFACE.

THAT WAS DONE PREVIOUSLY BUT THE MOST RECENT BREAK WAS WHEN IT WAS ACCELERATED.

WE BELIEVE THE WATER WENT NOT ONLY ON THE SURFACE BUT WHERE THERE WERE OTHER VOIDS AND CRACKS. THE PIPE IS COMING IN AND BREAKS FROM THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM GOT

IN THERE AND MADE THE SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS AS BAD AS THEY ARE. >> BUT THAT DOES NOT ANSWER THE

QUESTION. >> WE DO WORK WITH THEM TO DETERMINE THE RESPONSIBILITY.

IN THIS CASE WHAT CAME FIRST, THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG. WHAT CAME FIRST IS THE FAILING OF THE STRUCTURE THAT IS SO DEEP THAT CAUSED STRESS ON THE WATER MAIN IF YOU LOOK AT IT, I THINK THE ENGINEERS CAN WEIGH IN ON IT. WHAT CAME FIRST WAS THE FAILURE OF THE STRUCTURE THAT CAUSED UNDUE PRESSURE. THAT IS WHAT IS GOING ON.

>> TYPICALLY, DON'T THEY SIGN OFF ON -- I UNDERSTAND RICHARD TOLD US LAST MEETING THE DESIGN OF THE STRUCTURE WOULD NOT BE SIGNED OFF TODAY BUT WHEN PINE RIDGE WAS BUILT, AND THE HOLES WERE OPEN AND THE STRUCTURES WERE PUT IN AND THE WATER LINES WERE PUT IN, WHEN THEY HAVE ALSO

SIGNED OFF ON THIS? >> THEY WOULD BUT THE ASSUMPTION WOULD HAVE BEEN THE STRUCTURE WOULD NOT HAVE FAILED. YOU GO IN ON IT TO SAY, YOU PUT THESE STRUCTURES IN AND IT IS SO MUCH HIGHER THAN THE STRUCTURE. I GUESS THE THING IS, WE COULD LOOK AT IT. IF THE ENGINEERS ASSESS THEY ARE AT FAULT OR THEIR IS CAUTIONING

[02:35:03]

WOULD COME BACK TO WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE OF THE STRUCTURE. >> THEY STEPPED IN AND THEY MADE THE REDUNDANCY. THEY ALSO DID SOME WORK TO PROTECT, TIFFANY I BELIEVE IS THE NAME OF THE WOMAN WHO LIVES ON THE CORNER, TO ISOLATE HER ALSO.

WE RECEIVED SOME ISSUES WITH THE SETTLEMENT INNER WATER METER. WE TOOK SOME LESSONS LEARNED AND WE BEGAN THE INVESTIGATIVE PHASE. AS I MENTIONED EARLIER IF WE ARE ABLE TO USE A SERVICE SIMILAR TO THE AGENCY THAT CAN COME IN, THEY CAN COME IN AND WE CAN SEE HOW THIS WORKS. WE ALREADY HAVE EVERY OTHER AREA IDENTIFIED AND WE CAN MONITOR THE AREAS. THERE ARE QUICK FIXES. EVEN IF THEY ARE DEEP YOU CAN DO IT QUICKER THAN WHAT WE DO HERE. BUT IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE GET OUT IN FRONT AND WE WORK AS A

GROUP TO IDENTIFY THE AREAS. >> AND AGAIN COMMISSIONER. AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS BILL TYPICALLY 4 FEET BELOW THE SURFACE. THE STORM DRAINS AND SEWER LINES, THEY DO COME THROUGH. THIS IS AT LEAST 12. SO, YOUR WATERLINE WOULD BE 4 FEET ABOVE IT. WHEN IT BROKE, THE WATER, WE SEE WATER COMING OUT BUT THIS IS A .

A TYPICAL FIRE HYDRANT IS TWO AND A QUARTER INCH. IT'S A LOT OF WATER.

A LOT BIGGER THAN THAT. AND YOU DON'T SEE IT BECAUSE IT'S UNDERGROUND.

IN GEORGIA AND CLAY. YOU SEE IT EVERYWHERE. DOWN HERE YOU HAVE THE BAND.

IT WENT UNDERGROUND. EVERYTHING WAS ON STABILIZE. YOU HAVE A STRUCTURE MADE OUT OF CONCRETE. IT GOT AND ME AND JUST PUSH DOWN.

THAT IS WHY THE ROAD FAILED. WE WILL DEFINITELY INVESTIGATE TO SEE IF THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG CAME. THEY HAVE BEEN A GOOD PARTNER. THEY DID PUT A WATERLINE DOWN.

THIS CAME IN AND GAVE THEM THE SUPPLY. THEY WILL BE TURNING THE WATER OFF THAT THEY NORMALLY GO THROUGH. AS EARLY AS TOMORROW.

THE RESIDENCE WON'T SEE AN INFORMATION -- INTERRUPTION IN SERVICE.

I AGREE WITH YOU THERE IS SOME FORENSICS TO BE DONE. FOR RIGHT NOW, I'M NOT TRYING TO BE DISAGREEABLE BUT IT IS THE RESPONSIBLE THING TO DO. I'VE FORESEE PINE RIDGE WILL END UP DISPLACING AND WE HAVE TO ANSWER TO THAT. THAT IS MY CONCERN.

WE AGAIN, THERE'S NOT A LOT, THIS IS VISIBLE. YOU CAN SEE THIS DRIVING BY.

WE WERE ALERTED TO IT. AND A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE GRASS, THEY WANT TO KNOW HOW OFTEN THEY SHARPEN THE BLADES. WE DON'T SEE THAT ANOTHER PARTS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD BUT WE HAVE

TO GO IN AND LOOK AT IT. >> THIS IS A WHATEVER IT TAKES FOR EXPERIENCE I WOULD INDICATING, LET'S MAKE SURE WE HAVE THINGS IN PLACE TO MAKE SURE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

I KNOW YOU CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU HAVE TO FIX IT.

WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. >> THE REASON WE CAN DO THAT WITHOUT OVERSTEPPING OUR RESPONSIBILITIES, YOU OWN THIS. ALL OF US ON THIS.

WE ALL HAVE -- WE ARE PART OF THIS. WE CAN'T MAKE THE CODE SO THEY

[02:40:06]

BUT WHEN WE ARE TAKING CARE OF IT WE CARE. WE CARE A LOT.

>> I MOVE WE AUTHORIZE THE MONEY AND RICHARD TO QUANTIFIED THE DEPTH OF THE STRUCTURES GOING FORWARD. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. OPPOSED SAME SIDE.

OPPOSED. >> JUST A NOTE FROM THE LAST BOARD MEETING, RICHARD HAS ENGAGED IN THE CHARTER SCHOOL. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY ONE HE'S BEEN ENGAGING WITH BUT THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER REQUESTS, LIKE AS VERY ELEMENTARY WOULD LIKE NOTE LEFT-HAND TURN.

WE ARE ALSO ENGAGE WITH THEM. ALSO THE TRAFFIC OF THE LAST BOARD MEETING.

AND FINALLY, I AM PROUD OF THE TEAM AS MENTIONED HERE BY JOHN, IT IS REALLY COMING TOGETHER.

THERE WILL BE MORE TO THIS. THE DONATIONS ARE NEEDED. AND TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE LEGAL PORTION OF THIS AND WHAT HAPPENS TO THE ANIMALS. I WILL ALSO BRIEF YOU ON THAT.

BUT PENDING ANY QUESTIONS, THAT IS ALL I HAVE. >> I DO WANT TO BRING UP ONE MORE ISSUE SO -- WE HAVE A PUBLIC MEETING, NO VOTE OR LEGALITIES, ON MONDAY EVENING, TO DISCUSS THE OLD HARD ROAD INTERSECTION AND AND I'M SURE THE COMMISSIONER WILL TALK ABOUT THAT THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THE NEXT, LETTERS FOR DOCUMENTATION DO WE HAVE TO DO

[PUBLIC COMMENTS]

ANYTHING WITH THIS? >> PUBLIC COMMENT? >> WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC

COMMENT ANYONE ADDRESSING -- WISHING TO ADDRESS THE BOARD? >> WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC

[COMMISSIONERS' COMMENTS]

COMMENT. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS? >> THOUGH, AND ANOTHER THAT IS.

FIRST, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK RICHARD FOR HIS WORK WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.

THERE IS A PLACE IN THE STONE AREA AND WHEN THEY WIDENED STATE ROAD 100 THE HILLCREST SIGN WAS REMOVED AND THE STATE WOULD NOT APPROVE PUTTING THE SIGN BACK UP.

IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO A FAMILY THAT LIVES THERE. RICHARD, WITH HIS CONTACTS, WAS ABLE TO GET THEM TO AGREE TO PUT THE SIGN BACK UP, AND WE HAD TO PROVE THROUGH NEWS ARTICLES THAT HILLCREST EXISTED AS A COMMUNITY. WE DID THAT, I APPRECIATE THAT.

WILL HAVE A SMALL CEREMONY WHEN THE SIGN GETS PUT BACK UP. NOT ANYTHING I FEEL YOU NEED TO ATTEND BUT WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE WORK. IT WAS SIGNIFICANT FOR THAT CITIZEN AND HER FAMILY AS WELL AS SOME OTHER FAMILIES IN THE AREA.

I GREATLY APPRECIATE THAT. AS WELL AS, THE RESTRIPING OF COUNTY ROAD 214.

WHEN COUNTY ROAD 214 WAS STRIPED WHICH IS A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE TO THE KEYSTONE HEIGHTS AREA INTO TOWN, WHEN IT WAS STRIPED ORIGINALLY, THEY WERE OFF-CENTER.

THERE WERE NO PASSING LINES THAT LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE PASSING ZONES.

IT REALLY CREATED A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY THROUGHOUT AN S-CURVE SITUATION.

A GENTLEMAN CALLED ME AND SAID HE HAD BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT IT FOR YEARS.

HE DID NOT THINK HE WOULD LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE IT SAFE TO TURN INTO HIS OWN DRIVEWAY.

SO, IT TOOK A WHILE BUT THANK YOU FOR RESTRIPING THAT I THINK THE AREA WILL BE SAFER.

[02:45:03]

ON THAT. I THINK, THAT IS ALL. >> OKAY, GREAT.

COMMISSIONER BURKE. >> I WANT TO COMMEND THE PROPERTY.

I KNOW, INVITE SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME HERE I KNOW WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO SOMETHING TO CLEAN UP THE PROPERTY OR DO SOMETHING WITH IT. I AM GRATEFUL AND I HOPE THAT MAYBE THAT WILL HAPPEN, ALSO, WORK ON 209 I WANT TO TELL RESIDENTS TO BE CAREFUL, THERE'S DEFINITELY A MAJOR ACCIDENT THERE THIS MORNING. THAT IS IT AND IT WILL BE

HAPPENING FOR LONG TIME TO GO. THAT IS ALL I HAVE. >> COMMISSIONER.

ONCE AGAIN I WANT TO REITERATE MY APPRECIATION TO THE STAFF IT GOES UNABATED.

WE KEEP FINDING OUT PROBLEMS AND RESPONDING TO PROBLEMS WHETHER IT BE GRANT ENGINEERING OR EMERGENCY SERVICES I THINK STAFF NEEDS TO BE COMPLEMENTED ON THEIR PERFORMANCE.

LIKE I ALLUDES TO. WE ARE IN THE NEWS. IT'S ALMOST ALWAYS GOOD AND ON THE FRONT PAGE. WE WANT TO CONTINUE THAT TREND I WANT TO SAY I'M APPRECIATIVE THAT WE HIRED A VETERANS SERVICE OFFICER FOR ALL OF THE VETERANS IT IS IMPORTANT.

I INTEND TO TIE ALL OF THE SERVICES TOGETHER, WHETHER IT IS VETERANS OF AMERICA AND WHO DOES WHAT, HOW DO WE SERVE THE VETERANS BETTER. , I THINK THERE WILL BE MORE TO COME IN THAT REGARD OR THE VETERANS HERE IN CLAY COUNTY. LASTLY, AS A MANAGER, WE ARE ENDEAVORING TO TO LOOK AT ONE OF THE SECTIONS OF CLAY COUNTY THAT HAS BEEN IN THE DECLINE AND THAT IS WELLS ROAD AND THERE WILL BE A PUBLIC MEETING AT THE HOLIDAY INN ON OCTOBER 21 AT 6:00 P.M.

ANYONE WATCHING WHO WANTS TO COME OUT WE ARE TAKING INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL OR OTHERWISE ON ISSUES THAT ARE IN THE COMMUNITY AND THERE MAY BE WAYS TO FIX AND IMPROVE THE ENTRANCE TO CLAY COUNTY. THAT IS ALL I HAVE.

>> I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE COMMUNITY FOR THE RESPONSE WE HAVE GOTTEN AFTER THE ANIMAL INCIDENT. WE HAVE GOTTEN A TREMENDOUS OUTPOURING OF HELP.

I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED, AND WE STILL NEED MORE, BUT WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT IS PUT TO GOOD USE. THE OTHER THING I HAD, WE ARE LOOKING FOR PLACES TO PUT UP ENTRY SIGNS TO CLAY COUNTY. IF YOU DRIVE DOWN BLANDING BOULEVARD, YOU COME OUT ON THE WEST SIDE OF JACKSONVILLE AND YOU DON'T KNOW YOU ARE IN CLAY COUNTY. I THINK WE HAVE A LOT TO BE PROUD OF HERE.

IM VERY INTERESTED IN GETTING MONUMENTS, AND POSSIBLY COMING UP INTO THE COUNTY FROM THE OTHER DIRECTIONS SO PEOPLE HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THEY ARE HERE. THAT WILL GO A LONG WAY TO SOLVING A FEW OF THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE. I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

>> ONE OTHER THING THAT MAY BE OF INTEREST, LAST MEETING, WE HAD A REZONING BROUGHT TO US ON LONGHORN ROAD IN THE AREA WHICH WE TURN DOWN THE REZONING. ONE OF OUR KEEN EMPLOYEES HAPPENED TO BE WATCHING THE MEETING AND NOTICED, THIS PERSON ALSO HAD A CODE ENFORCEMENT CASE. SO, CLEARLY WE MADE THE RIGHT DECISION BECAUSE THIS PERSON, CLEARLY CANNOT FOLLOW THE RULES. ANYWAY, I THOUGHT IT WAS OF INTEREST THEN THANKFULLY BUT EMPLOYEES ARE LOOKING OUT OF PAYING ATTENTION AND GUIDING US IN THE RIGHT WAY ON THAT.

AND MOST OTHER ISSUES. >> WE WILL TAKE ALL O
