>> WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

>> FOR ITEMS 23-32. MOTION TO CONTINUE UNTIL

MARCH 8. >> SO MOVE.

>> SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ALL IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING AYE.

IT CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. >> FOR ITEMS 33 THERE WILL -- THERE NEEDS TO BE A MOTION TO CONTINUE IN CONNECTION WITH A

>> SO MOVED. >> SECOND.

>> I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING AYE. IT CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

[8. Utility Tax]

>> OKAY, THAT'S ALL FOR TIME CERTAIN'S NOW WE ARE BACK TO THE

UTILITY TAX. >> PUBLIC SERVICE TAX FOR UTILITY TAX, AGAIN COMING BACK FOR DIRECTION, THE BOARD DESIRES TO CREATE AN ORDINANCE. ON THE FIRST LIGHT UTILITY TAX CAN BE CHARGED BY MUNICIPALITIES.

CLAY COUNTY CHARGES 4% CURRENTLY.

4% ON NATURAL LPN MANUFACTURED GAS AND .06 ON FUEL OIL KEROSENE AND 0% ON WATER. THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED IS 10%.

THE STATUTE EXEMPTS THE FIRST KILOWATTS FOR ELECTRIC.

TERMINAL EXEMPTIONS FOR GAS OR WATER USAGE.

>> IS THAT A STATUTE? >> I WAS JUST CATCHING UP, THERE'S ONLY AN EXEMPTION FOR ELECTRIC BECAUSE THERE'S NOT AN EXEMPTION FOR THE OTHERS. IT IS PROHIBITED?

THAT WOULD YOU SAID? >> THAT MEANS YOU CANNOT EXEMPT

USAGE. >> IN THE NEXT SLIDE, WE HAVE THE LARGE PIZZA PAPER THAT TALKS ABOUT THE DATABASE OF THE OTHER RATES. THAT WAS PROVIDED SO YOU COULD COMPARE THE SURROUNDING COUNTIES AND MUNICIPALITIES AND LODGMENT

COUNTY AND OTHER AREAS. >> SOMETHING JUST SO YOU UNDERSTAND, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT SURROUNDING COUNTIES IT'S ONLY THE CHARTER COUNTIES THAT HAVE THIS.

THAT IS WHY ST. JOHN'S AS A COUNTY IS NOT LISTED BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT A CHARTER COUNTY EVEN THOUGH THERE MUNICIPALITIES

ARE INCLUDED ON THE LIST. >> ALACHUA COUNTY CAN HAVE BOTH?

>> ONE OF THE SHEETS WILL SHOW YOU THE CHARTER COUNTIES.

I THINK IT WAS THE LOCAL CHARTER COUNTY.

THOSE WERE THE ONES WHERE WE COULD PULL FOR YOU WHICH WERE

DUE BALL AND VOLUSIA. >> SO AT THE WORKSHOP YOU ASKED US TO BRING BACK A CHART. 1% ELECTRIC AND 4% GAS IS WHAT WE ARE COLLECTING ANNUALLY. YOU WILL SEE THE NUMBERS THAT RUN IT TO 10%. AND WERE NOT COLLECTING WATER THIS ESTIMATE. IF YOU GO TO THE 10%, BASICALLY, IF YOU IMPLEMENT A FULL 10% YOU WOULD COLLECT ADDITIONAL REVENUE

[01:10:03]

AND IF YOU IMPLEMENTED THE 10% ON WATER YOU WOULD GENERATE 1.8 MILLION. PEAK SO, THESE ARE YOUR OPPORTUNITIES TO RESTRUCTURE YOUR REVENUE FOR CRITICAL SERVICES AND DISTRIBUTION OF TAX BURDEN, BUFFERS, PROPERTY VALUE AND GROWTH AND USE FOR ELECTRICAL VEHICLES.

IT CAN ADDRESS INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS AND PUBLIC SAFETY SHORTFALLS AND OTHER MANDATES. PEAK IF YOU DECIDED TO IMPLEMENT OR CHANGE YOUR UTILITY TAX OR PUBLIC SERVICE TAX, THIS GOES THROUGH WHERE THE TAX LEVY MUST BE ADOPTED.

THE DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE MUST BE NOTIFIED 120 DAYS BEFORE EFFECTIVE DATE ASSUMING THE COUNTY WANTED TO HAVE AN EFFECTIVE DATE OF OCTOBER 1, THEY MUST BE NOTIFIED NO FURTHER THAN JUNE 3. THIS LAYS OUT YOUR TIMELINE IF THIS IS SOMETHING THE COUNTY CHOOSES TO DO.

THAT IS ALL I HAVE. I KNOW THERE ARE REPRESENTATIVES FROM BOTH UTILITIES, IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THEM,.

>> WE HAVE ANY IDEA OF THE IMPACT THAT THIS WILL BE WITH

THE AVERAGE WILL LOOK LIKE? >> IT VARIES BASED ON USAGE AND IF YOU LOOK AT A 150-DOLLAR BILL YOU'RE TALKING 6%.

THAT'S $9. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR TROY?

>> NO QUESTIONS AND WHAT THIS ONE BILL GENERATE?

>> IT WAS SIX AND A HALF. 12-15 MILLION.

>> IF YOU LOOK AT THE COUNTYWIDE , YES.

>> IF WE COULD REPLACE SOME OF THAT WITH UTILITY TAX, WE COULD

REPLACE HALF OF IT. >> YES.

>> IF YOU WENT WITH THIS AND YOU MAX AMOUNT YOU WOULD GENERATE --

>> I THINK WE COULD OFFSET THAT. THEY WOULD PROBABLY BALANCE EACH

OTHER OUT. >> IT'S ON THE ELECTRIC AND GAS.

YOU WOULD GENERATE SIX AND HALF MILLION IF YOU WENT TO 10% WHICH

IS CAP OF A MILL CURRENTLY. >> ARE YOU SAYING GO DOWN FROM WHAT WE JUST DID AND CHANGE IT TO A UTILITY TAX BREAKS.

>> THAT IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES OF THE UTILITY TAX.

IT SPREADS IT TO ALL USERS INSTEAD OF JUST PROPERTY OWNERS.

QUITE HONESTLY, THAT IS WHAT WE DID IN ORANGE PARK, I'M CERTAIN WE WILL ADVOCATE FOR THAT HERE AS WELL.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO LOOK AT THE BROADBENT FIRST.

WE HAVE EVERYTHING IN PLACE TO GET THAT DONE.

IF WE COULD DO IT INTO NEXT YEAR OR TWO THAT WOULD BE GREAT AND GIVE US THE FUNDING SOURCE TO SAY, HERE ARE THE BUCKS TO MAKE

IT HAPPEN. >> BUT YOU MAY HAVE A FUNDING

SOURCE THROUGH THE STATE. >> ONE THING I WOULD SAY YOU DO HAVE OTHER EXEMPTIONS BEING APPLIED.

YOUR HALF MILL FROM LAST YEAR MAY NOT BE THE SAME BECAUSE OF

THE OTHER EXEMPTIONS. >> WE DON'T KNOW.

>> I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT IT IN THAT FASHION.

PEOPLE WILL PASS THEIR OWN TAX-CUT, AND THEN WE HAVE UNKNOWN PROPORTIONS WHETHER IT IS 3 MILLION OR 4 MILLION.

WERE NOT LOOKING AT JUST REPLACING, WE WANT TO LOOK AT

[01:15:01]

ABOVE AND BEYOND TO DO THAT. >> SO DISCOUNTING WILL BE DISCOUNTED BY THE STATE IF THEY GO DOWN THAT PATH.

>> >> I HAD A QUESTION WITH -- I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH TRACY AND HE SAID IT IS LOOKING LIKE RECORD PROPERTY VALUES. SO WE WOULD HAVE --

>> THEY SAID THE INCREASE WOULD BE AT 9%.

>> HE SAID 8-9% AT LEAST. >> BUT THAT IS ONLY ONE YEAR.

THE ADDITIONAL EXEMPTIONS WILL BE FOREVER.

IT IS TOUGH TO FORECAST WHAT IS COMING IN.

>> I SYMPATHIZE WITH YOU. >> YOU SEE YOU SAID AN INCREASE OF ONE YEAR. HOME VALUES DO NOT GO DOWN EXCEPT IN RARE OCCURRENCES LIKE 2008 AND 2009.

>> TRUST ME, I LIVED THROUGH THAT.

>> YOU TURN ON THE NEWS TODAY AND THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT GAS WILL GO TO $5 PER GALLON. THE RESIDENTS ARE HURTING AND EMPLOYEES. I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE WHO SAID PEOPLE WHO ARE APPLYING FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE ARE FIREFIGHTERS AND DEPUTIES AND THESE ARE TOUGH TIMES.

>> ONE MORE THING. THE UTILITY TAX AS FAR AS ELECTRIC IS CONCERNED. THAT MAY BE SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. ESPECIALLY AS WE TALK ABOUT THE DOWNWARD TREND OF THE GAS TAX. FLORIDA IS NUMBER THREE FOR ELECTRIC CARS IN THE COUNTRY. WE ARE WAY BEHIND CALIFORNIA, BUT ON THE SAME TOKEN, 30,000 OR MORE ELECTRIC CARS SO FAR WITH THE WAY MANUFACTURERS ARE PUSHING ELECTRIC CARS.

FOR US TO RECOUP MONEY ON WHAT WE ARE LOSING THROUGH GAS TAX WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING WITH ELECTRICITY TO COLLECT TAX FROM THAT SO WE CAN KEEP CARS ON THE ROAD.

>> I THINK THE PREFERRED SOLUTION IS GETTING A MILEAGE COUNT AT THE END OF THE YEAR PERIOD.

>> THAT WOULD BE VERY UNPOPULAR IN CLAY COUNTY.

>> IT WOULD BE A FEDERAL DEAL I AM SURE.

>> THERE ARE A FEW MANUFACTURERS LIKE 2034 AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

IT'S COMING. BUT WHEN ANY OF OUR UTILITY

PARTNERS LIKE TO COMMENT. >> PLEASE IDENTIFY YOURSELF.

WE WILL GIVE YOU 3 MINUTES. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

JUST TO PUT INTO PERSPECTIVE WE HAVE 180,000 MEMBERS THAT WE SERVE IN NORTH FLORIDA. THE REASON WE ARE AT 4%, IS BECAUSE IT WASN'T A POPULAR TAX WHEN IT WAS IMPLEMENTED.

AS A MEMBER OWN NOT-FOR-PROFIT UTILITY WE TO WHAT THE MEMBERS WANT US TO DO AND WE PROVIDE SERVICE AT COST.

THAT MEANS IF WE HAVE ANY EXCESS REVENUE WE GIVE IT BACK TO THE MEMBERS. NEXT MONTH THEY WILL GET $12 MILLION. REMEMBER THE NUMBER $12 MILLION.

THAT IS WHAT OUR UTILITY MADE IN EXCESS REVENUE.

LAST YEAR WE PAID $3.2 MILLION IN PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX.

4 MILLION IN A UTILITY TAX. IF YOU RAISE IT TO 10%, WE WILL PAY MORE TO THE COUNTY THAN WE MAKE IN A YEAR OUT OF UTILITY BELT OF INCENTIVE MARGIN. JUST TO PUT IT INTO PERSPECTIVE,

[01:20:05]

THAT IS A BIG BURDEN FOR US AND THE MEMBERS.

OUR TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE IN 202021.

SO WE DO SEE FUTURE GROWTH COMING AND THIS IS THAT RATE LEVELS TO INCREASE THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF TAXES WE PAY.

WE ARE THE LARGEST TAXPAYERS, WE WOULD ASK THAT THE RATES THEY.

THAT IS WHERE WE ARE AFTER RELATIVE TO A STAFF QUESTION.

FLORIDA STATUTE 221 AS EXEMPTIONS SPECIFIC TO THE TYPES OF COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL ACCOUNTS.

I AM NOT SURE IF THEY ARE EXEMPT IN THE STATUE OR THE ORDINANCE BUT THAT MAY BE SOMETHING ELSE TO LOOK AT.

>> SO YOU'VE ALREADY CHECKED IT OUT.

WE WANT TO BE A GOOD PARTNER. WE BELIEVE WE PINNACLE PARTNER FOR 80 PLUS YEARS. WE ARE HEADQUARTERED HERE.

HALF OF THE EMPLOYEES LIVE, WORK AND PLAY IN CLAY COUNTY.

WE TRIED TO SUPPORT THE YOUTH WITH A VARIETY OF OTHER THINGS.

I JUST WANT TO PUT INTO PERSPECTIVE THE MAGNITUDE OF THE TAX RELATIVE TO THE WE ACTUALLY MAKE ABOVE OUR COSTS.

I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OTHER BUSINESSES BEING ASKED TO MATCH THEIR PROFIT LEVEL. THAT IS WHAT I WOULD SHARE AND

LEAVE WITH YOU ALL. >> HOW MANY OTHER COUNTIES TO

USURP? >> WE ARE IN PARTS OF 14 COUNTIES. AND SOME REALLY HAVE 2,000 CONSUMERS. OBVIOUSLY CLAY COUNTY IS ALMOST

HALF OF OUR UTILITY. >> WE ARE PRETTY MUCH THE LOWEST TAX UTILITIES IN THIS WHOLE LIST OF COUNTIES.

THE OTHER COUNTIES THAT YOU SERVE, SOME ARE CHARGING 10%.

>> TEN IN A LOGICAL. THEY ARE OWNED BY A COUPLE OF CORPORATIONS. THOSE PEOPLE ARE PAYING UTILITIES. IN ACAPULCO.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ME? >> I JUST HAVE A COMMENT THIS IS NOT A TAX ON THE UTILITY IT IS ON THE USAGE LEVEL.

IT REALLY AFFECTS NONE OF YOUR PROFIT.

>> THAT IS CORRECT BUT IT IS PROPORTIONS.

>> WE ARE JUST A COLLECTION AGENT.

WE DON'T WANT TO BE IN THE TAX BUSINESS OR THE COLLECTION

BUSINESS. >> TO CONFUSE THE VIEWERS THAT THIS WILL AFFECT PROFITS IT WON'T.

>> WE ARE NOT FOR PROFIT. >> WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT.

>> IT IS A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY.

>> THE LAST WEEK AND A HALF I RAN A FEW NUMBERS.

[01:25:01]

I WAS ASKED THE IMPACT AND BEFORE I JUMP INTO THAT, ONE THING I WANT TO POINT OUT, THEY CONTRIBUTE FOR NAP% OF GROSS REVENUE SO THERE IS A CONTRIBUTION TO THAT.

IT GETS COMPLICATED WHEN YOU TALK WATER DEMAND.

WHEN YOU TALK ESSENTIAL USE, THAT'S NOT VERY ELASTIC BUT WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT OUTSIDE IRRIGATION THAT IS VERY ELASTIC.

THERE IS A HIGH VARIABILITY -- ON THIS HIGH DEGREE OF THIS.

GETTING INTO THE NUMBERS AND THE IMPACT FOR THE CUSTOMERS IDLER AT THE HIGH MONTH ON THE LOW MONTH.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT A HIGH MONTH FOR THE CUSTOMER USAGE THAT WOULD BE AN INCREASE OF $2.08.

THE MEDIAN IS CLOSE TO $2 PER PILL.

WE SEE THAT AS BEING LISTED AS SOMETHING THAT PASSED THROUGH.

WHEN YOU GET TO THE LARGER NUMBERS WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT RECLAIMED. THIS WOULD BE FIVE AND A HALF DOLLARS ADDED TO EVERY RECLAIMED CUSTOMER.

WHAT'S INTERESTING IN THIS GROUP GIVEN THE VARIABILITY WHEN YOU ADD ADDITIONAL PRICE POINTS YOU WILL LIKELY SEE ELASTICITY WITH THE LOWER DEMAND WHICH COULD IMPACT UTILITY AND PROTECTED COUNTY REVENUE. THAT WAS THE HIGH DEMAND MONTH.

LOOKING AT THE LOW DEMAND MONTH, THIS IS JUST RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS. WITH THE SAME METER.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT BOTH ESSENTIALLY THE SAME THING.

AND THE MEDIAN IS JUST SLIGHTLY BELOW THAT.

ONE THING THAT'S INTERESTING, ESPECIALLY TALKING ABOUT RECLAIMED WATER, IN A MONTH LIKE FEBRUARY YOU WILL SEE 70% OF THE CUSTOMERS HAVE 0 RECLAIMED WATER USAGE SO BOTH TAXES ON THE BASE CHARGE. WHEREAS IN MAY THROUGH JULY YOU WILL SEE THAT NUMBER, 10-12% OF CUSTOMERS USE NO RECLAIMED.

SO YOU HAVE 90% WHO ARE USING THE SYSTEM.

THAT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF OUR WATER USAGE.

SO I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> DOES ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS?

>> SO, TOTALLY DIFFERENT SUBJECT BUT SINCE WE HAVE YOU IN FRONT OF US, THEY WERE -- WE WERE TALKING ABOUT JOBS AND INCENTIVES, WE WERE INFORMED THAT NIAGARA IS DOUBLING THEIR CAPACITY AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE, THERE ARE MANY CITIZENS CONCERNED ABOUT USAGE AND WATER SUPPLY AREAS.

>> NOTHING WITH NIAGARA HAS CHANGED HERE IT'S THE SAME NUMBERS. THEY HAVE HAD ONE DEVELOPER AGREEMENT THAT CAME IN ALL WITHIN THE ORIGINAL MASTER PLAN AND DESIGNATION THAT THEY GAVE US.

NOTHING AS CHANGE. >> SO YOU ARE WELL BELOW?

>> THAT IS CORRECT. >> WE ARE AND THE PROCESS LIKE I POINTED OUT FOR THE RENEWAL, WE ARE STILL HIGHLY CONFIDENT IN OUR WATER SUPPLY PLANNING. ALL OF THOSE TARGETS REMAIN THE SAME AND THE CONFIDENCE LEVEL THAT WE PUT IN THE PARTICIPATION PROJECT IN THE AGREEMENT IS THE SAME WE HAVE IN OUR WATER SUPPLY

PLAN. >> SO WHEN PEOPLE DON'T HAVE ISSUES THEY DON'T NEED TO BE CONCERNED, ESPECIALLY IN THAT

AREA. >> NOTHING AS CHANGE WITH THE CONFIGURATION. IT IS THE SAME TO PLANTS THAT HAVE ASSISTED. THERE IS NO INFRASTRUCTURE GOING ON WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME ELECTRICAL UPGRADES BUT NOTHING WITH REGARD TO THE WELLS, OR THE TANKS.

>> THINK YOU. >> HOW OFTEN DO YOU HAVE TO GO

THROUGH THAT RENEWAL? >> IT IS EVERY 20 YEARS.

WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE BLACK CREEK WATER RESOURCE PROJECT IT

[01:30:04]

OPENED THE DOOR FOR AN EARLY RENEWAL.

IT WAS GOING TO EXPIRE IN 2025, WE SAW THIS AS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY WITH THE STRATEGIC PLANNING EFFORTS THAT I INITIATED COMING IN AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO MAKE THOSE THINGS ONLINE. WE HAD A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THE LONG TERM PERMITS AND MORE. >> THAT WE SHOULD BE GOOD FOR 20

YEARS? >> YES, SIR.

>> THAT IS WHAT I WANTED TO MENTION IN THIS CONVERSATION.

NOT ONLY DO YOU GET FOREIGN HALF% OF GROSS PROFITS BUT YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE WATER RESOURCE IF THERE IS A SURPLUS, THAT THEY GENERATE IT WILL GO TO OFFSET CAPITAL COST.

IN REGARD TO THE PARTICIPATION PROJECT THAT IS A CAPITAL LEASE FOR WE HAVE CAPITALIZE THE PARTICIPATION AND THAT PROJECT.

>> ALL RIGHT, WHERE WE. WE READY TO DO A FINAL DISCUSSION TO SEE IF WE WANT TO CARRY THIS SONG.

COMMISSIONER BURKE WHAT YOU THINK?

>> I THINK I'M NOT FORD. >> HARD NO.

>> I AM IN. >> I PERSONALLY WANT TO LINE HOURS WITH THE REST OF THE REGION LOOKING TO THE FUTURE WITH ELECTRIC CARS. FEW WERE AND FEWER GALLONS OF GAS TAX, WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO RESURRECT THE REVENUE STREAM.

I AM ALL FOR REALIGNING. IM NOT FOR WATER RATE INCREASE.

ELECTRICITY IS AN ELEMENT OF LIKE.

>> YOU WILL GET A CODE ENFORCEMENT VISIT.

>> THAT'S MY FEELING. I FEEL LIKE ELECTRICITY IS NOT ESSENTIAL IT IS A MODIFIABLE THING IN YOUR LIFESPAN.

THOSE ARE MY FEELINGS. >> AND IT'S MY FEELING YOU SHOULDN'T MIX ELECTRICITY AND WATER.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I GET THAT OUT THERE.

>> I THINK I HAVE BEEN WORN OUT BY SCIENCE.

I HOPE THEY PICK UP ON THAT. >> ALTHOUGH I SEE THE NEED, I THINK I WOULD BE HARD-PRESSED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A UTILITY TAX AT THIS TIME UNTIL WE SEE WHAT THE STATE LEGISLATOR DOES.

IF I HAD TO MAKE A DECISION WHETHER IT IS GO OR NO GO I

WOULD SAY NO GO RIGHT NOW. >> THAT SOUNDS LIKE STAFF SHOULD NOT SPEND MORE TIME WORKING ON A UTILITY TAX AT THIS POINT.

>> DID I HEAR SECRETARY TEBO TALK WHEN WE LISTEN TO THEM HAVE PLAYED A. I THOUGHT WHAT HE SAID HE WAS ANTICIPATING WAS THE GAS TAX WOULD TRANSLATE OVER TO AN ELECTRICITY TAX. IS THAT CORRECT?

>> HE WAS NONCOMMITTAL. >> WILL HE IS LEAVING OFFICE.

>> BUT IF YOU ASK THEM ABOUT THE JETS AT THE AIRPORT, HE WOULD BE

MORE FORTHCOMING. >> BUT THERE MAY BE A FLIP ON TAX AS WELL THAT IS WORTHWHILE FOR THE CONVERSATION.

>> THAT'S WHAT I SAID BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO ELECTRIC CARS YOU HAVE 30,000 ON THE ROAD. THAT NUMBER WILL JUST GROW.

THE NUMBER OF TESLAS YOU SEE, ONCE MAINSTREAM, THE BIG THREE AUTOMAKERS, AND THE JAPANESE CARMAKERS, ONCE THEY MAKE NOTHING BUT ELECTRIC CARS PEOPLE WILL HAVE A CHOICE.

THEY ARE SPENDING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO BUILD A RECHARGING NETWORK. AT THAT POINT, AS THE TAX GOES DOWN YOU HAVE TO FUND THE ROADS WITH SOMETHING.

[01:35:01]

>> THE BULK OF THE HIGHWAY TAX COMES THROUGH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND I EXPECT THEY WILL TAKE THE LEAD.

BUT THOSE ARE GAS TAXES. >> THE PROPOSALS I HAVE HEARD, THEY HAVE BEEN, WE SHOULD CHARGE , WE ARE CHARGING WHAT GALLONS? AND WE SHOULD BE CHARGING ON THE MONEY, THAT IS ONE SCENARIO. THE OTHER SCENARIO WAS THE MILEAGE THAT IS WHAT IS REALLY WEARING OUT THE ROADS.

THAT IS PROBABLY THE BEST WAY TO DO IT.

THERE MAY BE SOME PRIVACY PUSH MAX BUT I WAS IN INDIANA AND I HAD TO REPORT MY MILEAGE EVERY YEAR.

I THINK, THE JURY IS OUT ON THIS BUT WE WILL HAVE TO FOLLOW THE FEDERAL LEAD, IT WILL HAPPEN. I JUST WANTED TO ASK THE

QUESTION AND GET AN OPINION. >> IT WAS A GOOD QUESTION.

AND I HEARD THIS MORNING THERE ARE SEVERAL DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS WOULD HAVE CALLED ON% THE PRESIDENT I GUESS, TO SUSPEND THE FEDERAL GAS TAX FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR BECAUSE WE

ARE HEADED TO $5 PER GAMBLING. >> HE ALSO PROPOSED IT BUT IT HASN'T MADE IT TO THE LEGISLATURE.

I DO THINK, COMMISSIONER BULLOCK MAY HAVE AN IDEA ON WHERE THAT IS GOING IN TERMS OF THE SALES TAX.

THAT WOULD REFLECT MORE REVENUE RESOURCES, ESPECIALLY AS GAS CONTINUES TO BE LESS DEPENDENT ON VEHICLES.

THINK BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, I DON'T THINK THAT IS SOMETHING WE WILL

DECIDE. >> OKAY, WE ARE GOING TO CLOSE

[9. Business Tax]

DOWN ON UTILITY TAX AND OPEN BUSINESS TAXPAYER.

>> AND ONE OF THE WORKSHOPS WE DISCUSSED THE BUSINESS TAXPAYER OR A BUSINESS LICENSE. IT IS A CHARGE FOR ENGAGING IN ANY CLAY COUNTY TO ENACT ADDITIONAL PENALTIES.

IT HAS BENEFITS TO JOBS AND IT WILL BE COLLECTED BY A TAX COLLECTOR THERE'S A TAX COLLECTOR.

A BREAKDOWN TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.

ST. JOHNS COUNTY HAS THE BUSINESSES THAT WE HAVE LISTED OUT THE DOCUMENTS, THEY ARE FOUR PAGES AND THEY HAVE 150 DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATIONS. THEY COLLECTED $440,000 LAST YEAR AND THEN WE LISTED OUT THE RATES AND WE DID NOT HEAR BACK FROM TOMBALL COUNTY ON HOW MUCH THEY COLLECTED LAST YEAR.

>> THESE ARE THE COUNTIES BUT SO YOU HAVE A BASIS, THREE OF THE MUNICIPALITIES HAVE THEIR OWN BUSINESS TAXPAYER THE CITY OF KEYSTONE AS A FLAT RATE OF $25. RINCON HAS DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.

ORANGE PARK HAS SEPARATE -- SEPARATE CATEGORIES THAT ALIGN WITH DUBOIS THAT RANGE BETWEEN 60-40.

>> SO AGAIN, THEY COLLECTED $44,000 LAST YEAR.

OF THAT THIS WAS GIVEN TO THE TAX COLLECTOR.

IF YOU USE THE 20% MODEL YOU WOULD TAKE 20% OF YOUR GROSS REVENUE AND FROM THAT THE COUNTY WOULD RETAIN 80% AND DISTRIBUTE THE OTHER PERCENTAGE LISTED TO THE MUNICIPALITIES.

THE MENTAL POLITY STILL HAS TO HAVE THEIR BUSINESS TAX, THE COUNTIES BUSINESS TAX WOULD APPLY TO ALL BUSINESSES AND THAT IS WHY YOU SEE FELT MUNICIPALITIES FROM THE MONEY FOR THE COUNTY COLLECTS. WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXPAND.

>> THEY DON'T HAVE TO SHARE THAT.

>> SO IF I HAVE PATHETICALLY OWN A BUSINESS IN A MUNICIPALITY, I HAVE TO PAY IT TWICE PARAGRAPH TO PAY THE CITY AND THE COUNTY.

>> YOU WOULD PAY THE KEYSTONE $25 AND THEN THE COUNTY.

>> OKAY. UNLESS TESSERACT.

>> EVEN IF YOU DON'T DO THE DISTANCE IN THE COUNTY.

[01:40:13]

>> SO BENEFITS AND IMPACTS. YOU CAN MAKE SURE EVERY COUNTY IS PAYING THEIR SALES FACT. ST. JOHNS COUNTY'S AND MOST REQUIRE YOU TO HAVE THE ZONING SIGN OFF BEFORE YOU CAN PAINT YOUR BUSINESS TAX TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE PROPERLY ZONE.

AND THEN KNOWING WHAT BUSINESSES WE HAVE IN THE COUNTY.

ONE THING I WILL SAY HERE, THIS IS NOT A MECHANISM TO SHUT DOWN BUSINESSES OR PRECLUDE A BUSINESS FROM DOING BUSINESS IN CLAY COUNTY. THIS IS NOT SAYING WE ARE PULLING YOUR BUSINESS TAXPAYER THIS IS NOT ALLOWABLE FROM MY

UNDERSTANDING. >> IT'S NOT AN ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM. AS YOU GO THROUGH THE PROCESS THE MAIN RESTRICTIONS WOULD BE LOOKING AT YOUR ZONING CLASSIFICATION MAKING SUGAR BUSINESSES IN THE RIGHT ZONE AND MAKING SURE IF THE STATE REQUIRES ANY LICENSING THEY HAVE THAT BEFORE YOU DO IT. BUT THERE'S NO OTHER

RESTRICTIONS. >> COULD THEY GO INTO BUSINESS

WITHOUT THE LICENSE? >> THEY COULD BUT THEN WE WOULD HAVE PENALTIES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT AND WE WOULD MOVE THROUGH

THE PROCESS. >> FOR INSTANCE, I SPOKE TO THE TAX COLLECTOR THEY DON'T HAVE ACTIVE ENFORCEMENT.

IF YOU THINK, JOE TIRE SHOP DOESN'T HAVE A BUSINESS LICENSE POSES THEY WILL SEND THEM A LETTER AND SAY YOU NEED TO PAY YOUR BUSINESS TAX, DO YOU ACTIVELY GO OUT AND LOOK FOR BUSINESSES THAT DON'T PAY THEIR BUSINESS TAXPAYER IT'S MORE OF A SELF REPORTING PROCESS SPENT ACTIVELY GOING OUT.

17,000 BUSINESSES WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH, ASSUMING WE HAVE A SIMILAR NUMBER WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH REZONING VERIFICATION.

CODE ENFORCEMENT INCREASES IF YOU WERE GOING TO DO ANY MONITORING, THE COUNTY OFFICE WOULD BE TAXED AS WE TALKED ABOUT. REVENUES AND YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT ANY EXEMPTIONS YOU WANT TO PUT IN.

>> AND THE STATUTE HAS MANDATORY EXEMPTIONS YOU WOULD HAVE TO INCLUDE. THERE'S A WHOLE LIST OF THEM BUT

THERE'S A LOT OF EXEMPTIONS. >> IT'S MORE LIKE IF IT IS A VETERAN OWNED BUSINESS, THE DISTRICT -- THE DIFFERENCES WITH ACTIVE-DUTY MILITARY. PEOPLE RECEIVING PUBLIC ASSISTANCE, DIFFERENT THINGS FOR BUSINESSES THAT ARE REGULATED.

AND THOSE THAT HAVE OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE IN JACKSONVILLE CAN THEY COME DO BUSINESS HERE AND BE EXEMPT.

>> HOW DOES ACTIVE-DUTY MILITARY RUN OF BUSINESS QUICKSAND AS A SPOUSE OF AN ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE MEMBER WHO HAS RELOCATED TO THE COUNTY OR MUNICIPALITY PURSUANT TO CHANGE OF ORDER.

>> COULD YOU REVIEW PROFESSIONAL REGULATION.

>> IF YOU ARE A BUSINESS PROFESSION OR OCCUPATION THAT IS REGULATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS REGULATION AND YOU HAVE PAID A BUSINESS TAX TO ANOTHER COUNTY OR MUNICIPALITY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY UPFRONT YOU WOULD BE EXEMPT IF THAT IS YOUR PRIMARY LOCATION. IF YOU'RE JUST COMING IN TO OPERATE IN CLAY COUNTY AND YOU ARE ALREADY REGULATED AND YOU HAVE YOUR LICENSE IN JACKSONVILLE YOU WOULD NOT HAVE

TO. >> LIKE AN OUT-OF-STATE WG I?

>> THEY HAVE AN OFFICE HERE SO WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A LICENSE.

>> THEY HAVE A LOCATION HERE. IT WOULD BE AN EXAMPLE OF A

GROUP THAT COMES TO OPERATE. >> LIKE IF YOU ARE A BEAUTICIAN

[01:45:07]

YOU CAN DO THAT OUT OF YOUR HOUSE.

IF YOU WERE IN YOUR JACKSONVILLE OFFICE, YOU PAGER BUSINESS LICENSE THEN YOU COME TO CLAY COUNTY AND YOU DO A HAIRCUT

WOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT. >> SO IF THEY COME TO TRIM TREES, THEY ARE NOT LICENSED BY THE STATE.

>> ENGAGING WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

THEY WILL BE MEETING AFTER THE BOARD MEETING AND WE WILL GET MORE INFORMATION ON THEIR STANCE.

THIS WILL PROMOTE ECONOMIC ADVANCEMENT.

THAT IS ONE OPTION YOU HAVE. THAT IS ALL I HAVE.

>> CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT WHEN? >> IT ALLOWS YOU TO USE IT FOR IF YOU WANT TO DO ENHANCED BUSINESSES.

WE TALKED ABOUT DOING AN INCUBATO THIS COULD BE USED TO

FUND THAT KIND OF OPERATION. >> THIS IS THE SPECIFIC LANGUAGE. I KNOW THERE'S QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EXTENT BUT WHAT THE STATUTE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDES, THE REVENUES MAY BE USED FOR OVERSEEING AND IMPLEMENTING A COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY THROUGH ADVERTISING PROMOTIONAL AND OTHER MARKETING TECHNIQUES.

I THINK THAT IS A BETTER STATEMENT THAN THE ONE ON THIS SLIDE. THIS MAKES IT SEEMED LIKE WE HAVE DECIDED AND IT WILL BENEFIT IF I READ THAT I MAY THINK I'M GOING TO GET SOMETHING FROM ALL OF THIS.

MOST LIKELY THEY ARE NOT GETTING ANYTHING FROM IT.

>> WHEN YOU OPEN A BUSINESS THERE'S THINGS YOU HAVE TO DO.

I KNOW INTO OTHER COUNTIES WE HAD TO GET A BUSINESS LICENSE.

HOW WOULD THAT HAPPEN HERE? >> WE WOULD HAVE TO CONSULT WITH THE TAX COLLECTOR. DOES SHE OFFER IT AND JUST ONE.

YOU WOULD HAVE TO PAY YOUR BUSINESS TAXPAYER.

>> PEOPLE WHO EXIST HOW DO WE GET THEM TO DO THAT?

>> IT WOULD BE IMPLEMENTED AND THEY WOULD GET A NOTICE TO SAY YOU NEED TO BRING YOUR BUSINESS INTO COMPLIANCE.

>> AND IF THEY DON'T. >> THERE IS A PENALTY BUT HOW YOU DECIDE. ST. JOHN DOES NOT DO ACTIVE ENFORCEMENT. THEY DON'T SEND AN OFFICER OUT.

THE COUNTY COULD OPT TO DO THAT AND CREATE A MECHANISM WHERE THEY ARE ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT COMPLYING.

>> THEY COULD GET AWAY WITH IT UNTIL THEY ARE FOUND OUT.

>> LET'S SEE. I'M SORRY I CAN UNDERSTAND MY WRITING. THAT'S IT.

>> I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

>> MY COMMENT. MCCORMICK.

WE HAD A FLAG BUSINESS SITE, A ROADSIDE BUSINESS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. WHEN I RESEARCHED IT, THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, NATURALLY DOES NOT HAVE A LICENSE IN CLAY COUNTY, BUT HE IS NOT EVEN REGISTERED IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. WHO IS OPERATING IN CLICK COUNTY. WHAT ARE THEY DOING.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA. I HAVE HAD REPORTS FROM CONSTITUENTS THINK THERE'S A GUY CHECKING OUT MY ROOM.

WHAT ROOFING COMPANY IS IT? I DON'T THINK WE ARE SERVING OUR CONSTITUENTS CORRECTLY IF ANYONE COULD COME AND DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO AND WE DON'T CARE. HOWEVER, IF WE DON'T HAVE TEETH AND IT, WE ARE NOT GOING TO ENFORCE IT.

AND THAT'S THE WAY THE NEXT POLITIES TO IT.

I DON'T KNOW. I FEEL STRONGLY IN BOTH AREAS.

>> AT THIS POINT WE DON'T HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW MANY BUSINESSES WE HAVE IN CLAY COUNTY? WE HAD PROBABLY HAVE LESS THAN WHAT THEY HAVEN'T ST. JOHNS COUNTY.

[01:50:03]

>> MY QUESTION IS, I GUESS IT DEPENDS ON WHAT LEVEL WE DECIDE BUSINESS TAX OR BUSINESS LICENSE WOULD COST AN INDIVIDUAL BUSINESS THAT WOULD DETERMINE THE REVENUE.

BUT MY CONCERN IS HOW MUCH WILL THAT GENERATE AND COST US AND VERIFIED BENEFITS BENEFITS IF YOU WILL, ARE THEY WORTH IT.

THERE IS A SITUATION IN OSCEOLA COUNTY WITH KASUMI AND I THINK 192 IS THE DESIGNATION THEY TAKE SOME OF THAT AND THEY MAKE IT AVAILABLE FOR GRANT. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS SOMETHING WE CAN LOOK INTO. IT DOES HELP IN TERMS OF PUTTING A PLAN TOGETHER AND ADDING AN ADVISORY PANEL THAT TAKES A LOOK

AT IT. >> I I THINK IT IS TIME WE HAVE THAT. WHEN I CALLED MY STARTED MY BUSINESS I SENT THIS IS WHAT I AM DOING.

HOW MUCH IS THE BUSINESS LICENSE.

I DIDN'T EVEN GET MY BUSINESS START UPS GOING TO GO TO JACKSONVILLE AND I NEVER OPENED UP THERE.

THEY HAVE TO MAKE A NOTE NAOMI. >> I THINK WE HAVE GOTTEN TO A POINT WHERE I AM SENSITIVE THAT THE BUSINESSES IN THE COMMUNITIES WOULD PAY MORE BUT THEY ARE ALREADY PAYING MORE, IN THIS CASE, I'M NOT THINKING IT WOULD BE $100.

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN AN EXTRA $40 MAY MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

I'M SENSITIVE TO THAT. BUT AT THE SAME TIME IF WE DO IT TO A POINT WHERE ST. JOHNS LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON THE DIFFERENT LEVELS, THAT MAY BE THE WAY TO GO.

BUT I LIKE THE SIMPLICITY OF ONE FIGURE RATHER THAN HAVING SIX DIFFERENT RATES. I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF MOVING FORWARD TO SEE HOW IT WOULD BE IMPLEMENTED.

>> THIS AFTERNOON WE HAD A MEETING AND ONE OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE FROM MY CONSTITUENTS WAS THE AVAILABILITY OF HEALTHCARE SERVICE. IN THIS AREA.

IN FACT MANY CONSTITUENTS SAY THEY VALUE CLAY COUNTY AND THE FACT THEY DO NOT HAVE TO GO DOWNTOWN FOR ANY MEDICAL SERVICE. BUT WHEN I ASKED THEM WHICH MEDICAL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED, NOBODY KNOWS.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE HAVE SO WE CAN MARKET OUR VALUE.

THIS WOULD PROVIDE A REGISTRATION OF BUSINESSES SO THAT WE KNOW AND WE TALKED EARLIER ABOUT SUBSIDIES AND ONE WAS TO A CAR WASH AND SOMEONE SAID WHY IS THAT WE HAVE TOO MANY ALREADY. BUT THAT IS ONLY A PERCEPTION.

THIS WOULD PROVIDE DATA FOR US TO DRIVE A LOT OF THE PROCESES IN THE COUNTY. ANYWAY, IT IS A SHORTCOMING.

WE DON'T KNOW. >> I DON'T FEEL THAT IT'S A BIG MONEYMAKER, PERSONALLY I THINK WE SHOULD KNOW WHAT'S HERE AND THAT IS WHAT IT SHOULD BE HERE FOR, TO SERVE THE PEOPLE.

IT WAS NICE NOT TO DEAL WITH IT WHEN I OPEN MY BUSINESS BUT $50,

IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN. >> THINKING ABOUT IT FROM THE BUSINESS OWNERS PERSPECTIVE, WHY.

>> IF YOU ARE AN EXISTING BUSINESS OWNER, YOU WANT JOBS TO COMP YOU WANT ME A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER TO PAY INTO SOMETHING SO YOU CAN INCENTIVIZE NEW BUSINESSES THAT MAY OR MAY

[01:55:05]

NOT COMPETE AGAINST ME AND TOOK COMMISSIONER RENNINGER POINTS WE ARE NOT VERIFYING IF THEY HAVE INSURANCE OR A BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU RATING, IT SEEMS LIKE IF YOU CAN LOOK THEM UP ON THE WEBSITE THEY ARE A BUSINESS AND WE ARE ENDORSING THEM, ORIGINALLY I SAID I DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS AND I PAY MY $25 EVERY YEAR END I GET A PIECE OF PAPER THAT I HANG ON THE WALL. THAT IS IT.

I DON'T GET ANYTHING FOR IT. IT'S NOT LIKE THE CITY DOES ANYTHING FOR ME FOR IT, I GET NOTHING, I PAY ADDITIONAL TAXES, A LOT OF ADDITIONAL TAXES, AND I REALLY GET NOTHING FOR IT.

IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE A MONEY GRAB AND I WOULD SAY FOR WHAT. FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS, OR PEOPLE WHO WATCH ONLINE, WHAT ARE THEY GETTING FOR PAYING THIS TO US ASIDE FROM US KNOWING THEY ARE THERE.

WHAT WILL WE DO WITH THIS INFORMATION.

>> WHEN YOU ARE A CONSUMER IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIND OUT IF THESE ARE PEOPLE YOU WANT TO DEAL WITH.

SILVER CREEK COMMUNITY I HAVE HEARD OF MULTIPLE BUSINESSES THERE. PEOPLE ARE UPSET BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE, AGAIN, IF YOU WANT TO DEAL WITH THEM YOU HAVE TO KNOW THEY ARE REPUTABLE PEOPLE FURTHER THAN JUST THIS LIST.

>> I THINK KNOWING THE BUSINESSES AND IT'S IMPORTANT, WE HAVE THESE INCUBATOR FACILITIES AND STARTING UP BUSINESSES WITH THE SERVICES THAT THEY ASKED FOR.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE MOTIVATING FACTOR BUT IT GIVES US AN AVENUE TO ENHANCE OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES OUT OF THE BUSINESS SECTOR WHICH IF YOU HAD OTHER BUSINESSES TO DEAL WITH IT WITH HELP YOUR BUSINESS.

I FALL BACK TO THE DEAL WHERE THERE IS A GARAGE ON FIRE AND THE FIREMAN CHARGES IN THERE AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S IN THERE.

THIS WAY THEY CAN REGISTER HAZARDOUS PRODUCTS THAT THEY CAP TO BE AWARE OF. WHAT WE DON'T KNOW IS THE

ANSWER. >> YOU ARE GETTING INTO ENFORCEMENT. REGISTERING HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

IS NOT ON HERE. >> I SEE THIS AS A LOT OF WORK FOR STAFF AND WHAT IS THE GAIN. I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING THAT TELLS ME ANYTHING WE CAN TELL OUR CONSTITUENTS THEY ARE GETTING EXCEPT FUTURE BUSINESSES THAT MAY OR MAY NOT COME OUT OF

CLAY COUNTY. >> I GET CALLS ABOUT JOE BLOW.

IS THERE A WAY TO CHECK AND SEE IF WE CAN DO SOMETHING WITH

THAT. >> THEY WOULD HAVE TO CERTIFIED THERE IN THE CORRECT ZONING AND REQUIRED TO BE LICENSED BY THE

STATE. >> WHAT CHANGES THAT THE GOVERNMENT MAKE ABOUT PEOPLE RUNNING BUSINESSES OUT OF THEIR

HOME. >> WE CAN'T RESTRICT THAT BUT

THERE ARE LIMITATIONS. >> IS A GARAGE WON OF THEM?

>> IT WOULD BE WITH RESPECT TO PEOPLE COMING.

>> I HAVE BEEN ASKED THAT VERY QUESTION.

I GOT A PHONE CALL FROM A GENTLEMAN A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AND HE HAS TO HE SHOULD TALK TO AND.

>> I DIDN'T INTERVENE BUT I WAS WONDERING.

>> THE STATUE IS VERY BROAD. >> THE NEIGHBOR HAD A CAR REPAIR GARAGE BUYING HIM AND HE WANTED TO REPORT IT AS A COMPLAINT SO I GAVE HIM THEIR PHONE NUMBER BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL BE A PROBLEM. HE MAY BECOME AN ANGRY NEIGHBOR.

[02:00:08]

>> THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE CHANGE THAT LAST YEAR.

>> DOES THAT PUT A DIFFERENT LIGHT ON THAT AS WELL.

>> WHAT DO THEY DO OUT OF THEIR HOMES?

>> DOES THE BUSINESS LICENSE APPLY TO THE MARY KAY LADY, THIS GETS INTO A LOT OF, MANY PEOPLE DOES IT APPLY TO.

>> ALL OF THE SURROUNDING COUNTIES HAVE IT,.

>> EVERY MUNICIPALITY AS A. IT WOULD BE TOUGH TO SEE WHAT THEY PUT IN TERMS OF BUSINESSES THAT ARE COVERED.

I FOR ONE THINK BUSINESSES CAN TAKE CONFIDENCE AND WE KNOW BUSINESSES AROUND THE CORNER ARE DOING THE SAME.

RATHER THAN WE HAVE SIX PEOPLE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD DOING CAR STUFF. DO YOU COLLECT YOUR SALES TAX DO YOU DO ALL OF THAT STUFF. THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO IT WITH THE BUSINESS TAX. THEN WE CAN GO TO THE PERSON SAY IF YOU DON'T HAVE A BUSINESS LICENSE AND YOU ARE NOT INCORPORATED AND YOU DON'T HAVE A DOR NUMBER YOU CAN'T OPERATE BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT A REAL BUSINESS.

EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE THE STATUTE AND THEY CAN OPERATE OUT OF THEIR HOME BUT THEY REALLY CAN'T.

>> MOVING RIGHT ALONG. I GUESS WHAT WE ARE INTO RIGHT

NOW, DO WE HAVE STAFF. >> DO YOU WANT US TO PROCEED ON THIS AS AN ORDINANCE, HOW DO YOU WANT STAFF TO PROCEED?

>> I AM A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH IT BUT I THINK, IF WE ARE GOING TO DO IT NEEDS TO BE CLEAR, AND WHO IT APPLIES TO AND

WHO IT DOESN'T. >> I'M GOOD WITH TAKING IT TO

THE NEXT STEP. >> THIS IS VERY CONFUSING.

CONTRACTORS 18 BUCKS. >> THAT IS JUST HOW THEY DID IT.

THAT IS HOW THE TOWN OF ORANGE PARK DOES IT.

I WOULD SAY WE TAKE ALL OF THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES AND BRING IT BACK TO YOU AND YOU CAN DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO DO ONE FLAT FEE OR HAVE ALL OF THE DIFFERENT LEVELS.

A LOT ARE BASED ON THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES OR SIZE OF THE BUSINESS. WE WILL BRING YOU BACK SOMETHING AND YOU CAN GIVE US GUIDANCE. REGARDLESS IT DOES NOT TAKE A FACT. I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE CONVERSATION WITH THE TAX COLLECTOR.

>> WHAT ABOUT SOMEONE COOKING OUT OF THEIR FRONT YARD.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE THOUGHTS THAT WENT INTO THE FEES EVEN IF IT'S MINOR. BUT I AM GENERALLY IN FAVOR OF

MOVING IT. >> THEY ARE OPERATING AT A DIFFERENT COUNTY. YOU CAN'T HAVE A DIFFERENT

LICENSE. >> IF THEY HAVE A LOCATION HERE.

>> IF THEY HAVE TO PAY, THAT SEEMS BACKWARDS.

THEY'RE PAYING THE STATE FOR THEIR LICENSE AND CHARGING MORE TO HAVE A BUSINESS, SO LIKE A COSMETOLOGIST, HAS TO PAY FOR HER LICENSE TO THE STATE AND THEM MORE MONEY, THEN A PAINTER.

SHE WOULD PAY THE COUNTY SEASON. >> BUT MORE MONEY THAN A PAINTER

[02:05:03]

WHO PAINTS HOUSES. >> THAT WILL DEPENDENT ON HOW

YOU CATEGORIZE WHAT YOU CHARGE. >> A PROFESSIONAL LICENSE.

IT WILL BECOME SOMETHING BASED ON ADJACENT COUNTIES AND THE

MUNICIPALITIES. >> GO AHEAD TO THE NEXT STEP.

[10. Roadway Design Changes - Bonded Transportation Program and Impact Fee Funding]

>> NUMBER TEN. ROADWAY DESIGN CHANGE.

TELL US HOW GOOD IT WILL BE. >> HALFWAY.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. HERE WITH ME THIS EVENING IS CARLESS CAMPOS FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE TO THE BOARD, THE MAJORITY WERE OUT SICK, AND I DID WATCH FROM HOME ON THE TV AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU YOU DID A COMMENDABLE JOB.

BASED ON THOSE DISCUSSIONS, BASED ON THOSE DISCUSSIONS WE ARE HERE TO PRESENT THE COST FOR THE RUSSELL ROAD REALIGNMENT.

THE RULE TO THIS IS THE NEW PROJECT ON COUNTY ROAD 218.

ON PROJECT THREE AT THE ROAD, THEY WILL COUNTY ROAD 209P INTO A QUADRANT INTERSECTION. IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS WORK THEY WILL CHANGE THE ROAD BECAUSE SECTION.

MEANING, THIS WILL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE PROJECT TO THE WEST.

PROJECT NUMBER THREE WHICH IS THE REST OF RUSSELL ROAD TO THE SOUTH. ALL WHILE AVOIDING IMPACT ON THE CORRIDOR. THE ENGINEERING PORTION FOR THIS WORK IS 315,000. WHILE THERE PORTION IS 95,000.

THE ROUNDABOUT COUNTY ROAD 315 AND 315B IS PROJECTS ESCAPE THE INTERSECTION. OUR DESIGNER WILL FINISH THE DESIGN FOR THAT ROUNDABOUT BASED ON THE STUDY PROVIDED.

THIS IS AT THE COST LISTED. TO SUMMARIZE THE ROUNDABOUT THEY HAVE A SAFETY RATING AND A LOWER LONG-TERM COST AND A LOWER PEAK HOUR DELAY. COUNTY ROAD 218 IMPACT FEE WORK IS A NEW PROJECT. THERE WE GO.

THIS NEW WORK STARTS AT THE WEST IN.

THIS IS NEAR THE AVENUE. THIS WILL AND AT THE SPENCER ROAD. IS A 1 MILE ROAD OR 1 MILE ROAD SECTION. CURRENTLY 4.4 MILLION WITH IMPACT FEES. OF THAT WE ARE ASKING WTI TO PERFORM FULL AND REWORKED TO DEVELOP PLANS, THIS IS THE ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS. AND IDENTIFY IMPACTS TO THE RIGHT AWAY AS LONG AS A PAWN SITE REPORT AND DEVELOP THE PLAN TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PLANS AVAILABLE.

WGS PORTION IS 1 MILLION PLUS. IN SUMMARY WE ARE ASKING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE ROUNDABOUT STUDY.

[02:10:04]

THE COUNTY ROAD URBAN SECTION WITH THE FINAL DESIGN FOR THE ROUNDABOUT. ADDING A NEW PROJECT FROM SPENCER LANE IMPACTED BY THESE. THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE TO MODIFY THE BUDGET TO STAY WITHIN THE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM AND PEERING BACK TO THE BOARD MEETING FOR BOARD APPROVAL FOR EACH PART. WITH THAT I WILL TAKE ANY

QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. >> ARE YOU SAYING YOU WILL DO THIS AND LATER PUT IN THE ROUNDABOUT?

>> INTERVIEW LOOK TO THE CENTER TO THE MIDDLE THE SHADED AREA YOU WILL SEE THE YELLOW SWOOSH THAT IS CONNECTING TO SANDRIDGE AND 209P WILL CONTINUE EAST FROM THERE.

>> WE HAVE TO DO THAT FIRST BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE DONE ANYWAY

EVEN IF THERE IS NO ROUNDABOUT? >> PART OF THE REQUEST IS TO DO THAT AND SINCE THERE'S NO ROAD, WE HAVE TO HAVE IT SURVEYED AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE PROPERTY IN THE WOMEN'S TO MAKE THAT ROAD COMPATIBLE WITH THE COST-REDUCTION.

>> THE ROUNDABOUT WOULD ALSO BE THERE?

>> WE WILL DO A STUDY TO SEE IF IT WILL IF NOT WE WILL STICK WITH A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU HAVE TOOL 9B JUST 500 FEET SOUTH OF THERE.

>> WE HAD A MEETING BEFORE ABOUT THE 315 NEW ROAD.

WE WERE GOING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO DO WITH THE PEOPLE LIVING ON THE ROAD AS FAR AS HOW THEY WOULD GET OUT.

>> THERE WERE DIFFERENT OPTIONS ON HOW THEY MAYFIELD A CUL-DE-SAC DID YOU FIGURE IT OUT?

>> THIS IS THE CONNECTOR. WE HAVE NOT AWARDED THAT COMPONENT YET. AS FAR AS THE ALIGNMENT, THAT REALLY HASN'T BEEN DESIGNATED OR DEFINED AS FAR AS HAVING A CUL-DE-SAC. WHAT HAS BEEN DEFINED, WHERE THE CONNECTOR CROSSES 315, THEY WILL HAVE ACCESS INTO THE LANE AND BASICALLY GETTING OFF THE CONNECTOR GOING NORTH DOWN 350 AND IS IT TAKES A HARD TURN TO THE EAST, THAT IS WHERE THE CUL-DE-SAC WOULD BE. THERE WOULD BE MAY BE A RECONNECTION OF THE 315 ON THE FAR EAST END OF THE SOLUTION.

>> WE HAVE A TOWNHALL. >> IT WOULD BE AN OPTION.

>> DOWN TOWARDS GERMANY GLENVIEW WERE WORRIED ABOUT KIDS HANGING

OUT THERE. >> THAT IS WHERE, SINCE WE HAVEN'T ISSUED THAT COMPONENT, THERE IS OPTION SET UP A CUL-DE-SAC WE WOULD TIE THE DRIVEWAYS IN.

OR IN THE -- THE WAY THE ROUNDABOUT GOES THROUGH HERE.

>> RUSSELL ROAD AND TO ZERO NINE.

>> 350,000 TO DESIGN IT? THEY WILL BUILD A ROUNDABOUT

THERE? >> TOOL 9B, THE FIRST PART IS TO DO THE STUDY IF A ROUNDABOUT WOULD WORK THERE.

IT ALSO INCLUDES THE DOLLARS AND IT INCLUDES THE ABILITY TO GO ON THE PROPERTY AND THE WETLAND SPECIES.

>> THIS IS JUST THE DESIGN STUDY?

>> NO CONSTRUCTION. >> WHAT DO WE THINK THE CONSTRUCTION DELTA IS BETWEEN THE QUADRANT AND THE ROUNDABOUT?

>> IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE MORE OF THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AS YOU COME TO

[02:15:02]

THE INTERSECTION YOU'RE NOT TAKING IT.

BUT FOR A ROUND ABOUT IT COULD TAKE MORE AND I WOULD BE THE ADDITIONAL COST BUT LONG-TERM COST, MAINTENANCE COSTS, WHATEVER YOU WOULD NORMALLY SPEND ON THAT.

YOU DON'T HAVE THE SIGNAL ANYMORE.

ALSO LONG-TERM COSTS FROM A COMMUNITY STANDPOINT WHETHER TRUCKING OR VEHICLES THAT MOVE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION THEY'RE NOT WAITING. ALSO FROM A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE, YOU DON'T HAVE THE TYPICAL T-BONE OR AND ON.

TYPICALLY IF THERE'S AN ACCIDENT THEY ARE AT A MUCH LOWER SPEED

THAN HIGH-SPEED. >> I HOPE WHEN WE NEGOTIATE THE RIGHT-OF-WAY THERE, THROUGH THE UNBILLABLE WETLAND AREA THAT IS IN THE COST FOR THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.

>> FIRST WE HAVE TO LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE SEEN.

BUT WE CAN'T SAY IT UNTIL WE GET THERE.

>> I THINK THEY NEED TO BE A TEAM PLAYER.

SECONDLY, THE REQUEST FROM THE CITIZEN IS NOT ON THE 218 PAP, THE WIDENING, THERE WAS A REQUEST MADE, SO WE CURRENTLY HAVE A CROSSWALK FOR A MAKEUP PARK THAT GOES TO THE APARTMENTS ACROSS THE STREET AND SINCE WE ARE WINDING IT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT SAFETY MEASURES CAN BE PUT INTO PLACE, BUT THERE WAS A BOY KILLED THERE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN TO THE FLASHING WHEN PEOPLE COME UP TO CROSS, OR IF THERE'S SOME MECHANISM WE CAN PROVIDE FOR PEOPLE TO CROSS. THE CHILDREN LIVE AND PLAY IN

THE AREA. >> WITH THE CROSSWALK, THIS WILL BRING IT UP TO STANDARDS WITH LIGHTING.

ALSO WHAT'S NICE ABOUT THE IMPROVEMENTS, TRAFFIC WILL BE IN BOTH DIRECTIONS AND A PLACE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC

COMING. >> THEY WILL ACROSS ONE SIDE AND THEN PRESS ANOTHER BUTTON TO CROSS AGAIN.

>> THE FINAL DESIGN IS NOT BEEN COMPLETED BUT IN MY MIND YOU PUSH THE BUTTON TO WALK ACROSS. BUT WHEN THE LIGHTS FLASH, FOR

ACTIUM AN ISLAND OF REFUGEE. >> THANK YOU.

>> WE DO CAP TO ALLOW ACCESS WE HAVE TO ALLOW ACCESS.

THAT WOULD GO INTO A CUL-DE-SAC. THIS SOLUTION, WOULD ACTUALLY TAKE YOU SOUTHEAST AND EVENTUALLY EASED INTO THE TOOL

NINE B INTERSECTION. >> WE THINK THERE'S ONLY ONE PROPERTY. THE VILLAGE CENTER, YOU WOULD

HAVE TO TURN TO GO BACK,. >> YOU WOULD ACCESS IT FROM 209, OR YOU WOULD COME THROUGH THE SOLUTION GO DOWN.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> ADJUSTING THE BUDGET

ACCORDINGLY. >> WE ARE GLAD YOU ARE ALL

BETTER. >> SO ARE OUR FAMILIES.

>> OLD BUSINESS NUMBER 11. DONATION AND SPONSORSHIP POLICY.

[11. Donation and Sponsorship Policy (M. Mosley)]

[02:20:23]

>> I LIVE OFF OF THE ROSE AROUND ABOUT COULD CREATE A NIGHTMARE IN TRAFFIC. IT ALREADY DOES WHEN YOU'RE GOING STRAIGHT. IT TAKES THEM FOREVER TO GET UP TO SPEED. IF THEY ARE IN A ROUNDABOUT,

JUST AN OBSERVATION. >> MY NAME IS MEGHAN MOSTLY WITH THE GRANTS DIVISION. WEEK BRIEF THIS POLICY AT THE JANUARY 25 WORKSHOP WITH THE INTENT TO PRODUCE A POLICY THAT PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK TO RECEIVE DONATIONS AND SPONSORSHIPS.

WE TOOK COMMISSIONER FEEDBACK INTO CONSIDERATION WITH THE FINAL DRAFT BEFORE YOU TONIGHT AND MADE THE FOLLOWING ADJUSTMENTS. WE DID ADJUST THE APPROVAL THRESHOLD TO UNDER $25,000. ANYTHING GREATER THAN THAT WOULD COME FOR REVIEW OR RECOMMEND FOR NEGOTIATION.

WE ALSO REFINED OUR DEFINITION OF RIGHTS TO MAKE CLEAR INDIVIDUALS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THE RIGHTS AND THIRDLY WE ALSO ADDED ONTO THE DEFINITION PHILANTHROPIC CONTRIBUTIONS TO INCLUDE GIVING AND PLANNED GIVING.

WE GIVE SOME EXAMPLES AND THE POLICY IS NOT A COMPLETE LIST BUT THEY DO INCLUDE THINGS LIKE LIFE INSURANCE PERSONAL PROPERTY RETIREMENT PLANS AND THINGS LIKE CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITIES.

THAT IS THE SUMMARY OF THE UPDATES.

I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.

>> HAVE A COMMENT. >> THAT'S WHAT THE POLICY IS.

WE HAVE A STIPULATION THAT THE COMMISSIONER CAN NAME.

>> THIS IS TO GARNER DONATIONS AND SPONSORSHIPS FROM THE PUBLIC. I SEE IT WITH THE COMMISSIONER NAMING THEIR FAVORITE FOOTBALL TEAM.

IT DOESN'T GARNER THE DONATION PART, THERE'S NO DONATION.

YOU'RE NOT SPONSORING ANYTHING. IT IS COUNTER TO WHAT THE POLICY

IS DESIGNED TO DO. >> BEFORE WE HAVE A SPONSOR WE WILL HAVE A FACILITY AND WILL WE CALLED IT.

WE HAVE TO HAVE A NAME FOR IT. >> JUST LIKE THESE ARE THINGS THAT SOMEONE MAY COME ALONG AND THEY MAY WANT TO SPONSOR IT AND THEN WE WILL MAKE A DETERMINATION.

BUT I THINK IN THIS CASE WE HAVE TO HAVE A MECHANISM TO NAME SOMETHING. THAT IS WHAT I THINK IT IS DOING MAKING THE PROVISION POSSIBLE. OTHERWISE HOW DO YOU DO THAT.

>> THE COUNTY DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A NAMING POLICY.

SOMEONE COMES TO THE BOARD AND SAY WE WANT TO NAME NEPTUNE PARK AND IF THE COMMISSIONER DESIRES AND WE NEED ANOTHER POLICY FOR NAMING FACILITIES, WE CAN GO THAT ROUTE BUT IT SEEMED LIKE THE LOGICAL PLACE TO PUT IT. IT WILL EITHER BE NAMED BY THE

BOARD OR BY A DONATION. >> OUR DEFINITION THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE THAT WOULD BE PRESENTED TO THE BOARD FOR

[02:25:01]

CONSIDERATION. WE ARE CALLING IT THE DONATION.

>> I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH IT. I HAVE BEEN TO CONCERTS AT THE ARENA WHEN YOU HEAR THEM SAY IT WE ARE LOOKING FOR OTHER SOURCES OF REVENUE AND WHY WOULD WE PASS UP THE REVENUE EVEN IN JACKSONVILLE. THE FOOTBALL STADIUM AND PEOPLE REFERS TO IT AS THE BANK. IT BECOMES SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE

KNOW AND I THINK ECONOMICAL. >> I THINK IN THIS DAY AND AGE WHERE WE ARE LOOKING FOR REVENUE, THIS CAN BE A PROACTIVE WAY TO DECIDE HOW WE WANT TO GENERATE THE FUNDS.

AT THIS POINT LET'S GET IT STARTED WE HAVE A LOT OF MONEY TO WORRY ABOUT THEN WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHERE TO SPEND IT.

>> WE HAVE TWO PARKS IN OUR DISTRICT BECAUSE OF THE ROAD THEREON. WHAT COULD WE GET FOR NAMING THEM SOMETHING ELSE THAT SOMEONE WOULD PAY THE MONEY FOR?

>> THIS IS AN IDEA. THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE COUNTY THAT WE DONATE TO THAT PROGRAM, THEY ALREADY DO.

IF WE INSTITUTIONALIZE IT AND MAKE THE COMMUNITY AWARE I THINK

YOU WILL GET DONORS. >> IF THE THOUGHT IS TO RESTRUCTURE IT TO HAVE IT LIKE THAT MEGHAN I CAN WORK IT I BRING IT BACK TO THE NEXT BOARD MEETING.

>> WE ARE ALL IN FOR YOU TO DO IT NOW.

>> I MOVE APPROVAL. >> I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? IT CARRIES 5-0.

[12. Community Redevelopment Area - City of Green Cove Springs (S. Kennedy)]

⌞> OKAY NUMBER 12 COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT.

>> THAT WAS A MOTION TO APPROVE THE POLICY AS WELL AS THE

RESOLUTION. >> VERY PERCEPTIVE COURTNEY.

SOMETIMES I STAY AHEAD OF THAT ( INDISCERNIBLE ).

>> I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE MAYORS PRESENT WITH US AND I.

THIS IS A NEW AND IMPROVED CRA PRESENTATION.

I CHANGED THE FRONT PAGE. THE SYMBOLIC NATURE OF THAT.

THERE IS A REASON. THE PIECES GOING TOGETHER WHICH REPRESENT ONLY THE COUNTY BUT VARIOUS JURISDICTIONS IN THE STATE AND WHATEVER ELSE AND COMING TOGETHER TO MAKE A SOLID

[02:30:08]

PRESENTATION AND PROGRAM. AS YOU ALL KNOW FROM THE PREVIOUS PRESENTATION, STAFF I WILL GO THROUGH THIS, AT A QUICK RATE SINCE EVERYONE HAS SEEN THE PREVIOUS INFORMATION.

THERE'S A LITTLE MORE HERE BUT NONE OF THE MEAT OF THE PRESENTATION HAS CHANGED TO ANY DEGREE.

THE PURPOSE OF CRA, WE HAVE HIGHLIGHTED SOME AREAS.

REDUCTION PROVISION OF CRIME AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

PROVIDING NECESSARY INFRASTRUCTURE AND CREATING JOB OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE CRA. I THINK EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS, THEY HAD A COMMENT ABOUT SLUM OR LIGHT.

IN REALITY, IT IS NOT A COMMUNITY IS JUST A CERTAIN AREA THAT IS IMPACTED. AT THIS POINT I WAS GOING TO PUT THE MAP THAT I SENT OUT AND GAVE DO YOU BUT IF YOU TAKE THAT AND TRIED TO SHRINK IT DOWN, YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE ANY OF IT. THAT IS WHY I DIDN'T BUT I'M ASSUMING THE COPIES THAT YOU HAD WERE SUFFICIENT.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? BENEFITS OF THE CRA, IT TRANSFORMS SPACES AND REVITALIZES PLACES AND I THINK ABOUT THE COMMENTS ABOUT THE TALLAHASSEE AREA OVER THERE THAT WAS TRANSFORMED, AND THE REVITALIZATION THAT TAKES PLACE, I THINK IT IS RELATIVE TO SOME OF THE CONVERSATIONS YOU HAD ABOUT REVENUES. THE REVENUES THAT WILL GENERATE FOR EVERY 1 DOLLAR PER CITY AND COUNTY WOULD HAVE AND THE PRIVATE INVESTMENT COMES IN. THAT IS A RETURN THAT I THINK MOST EVERYONE WOULD BE WILL -- WOULD BE WILLING TO TAKE WITH THEIR INVESTMENTS. IT PUTS PEOPLE BACK TO WORK.

I USED TO CALL IT MY DEVELOPMENT EQUATION.

OF YOU HAVE INVESTMENTS, RETAIL SERVICES, HOUSING AND THEN IT STARTS OVER AGAIN AS YOU DEVELOP DIFFERENT AREAS.

THE LAST ITEM WOULD BE REVENUE FROM BIG PROJECTS.

IT'S NOT NECESSARILY A SPECIFIC DOLLAR AMOUNT BUT LARGE PROJECTS WOULD BE CAPABLE OF BEING BONDED.

THE RETURN AS I MENTIONED ON THE SLIDE BEFORE.

PUBLIC FUNDS 19-1. THIS NUMBER CAME FROM A STUDY THAT WAS DONE IN 2013 BY THE FLORIDA REDEVELOPMENT ACT.

THOSE ARE DEFENDABLE NUMBERS, AGAIN THE PREVIOUS RESULTS DON'T INDICATE THE FUTURE RESULTS, BUT IT IS A GOOD SOLID NUMBER THAT CAME. AGAIN, YOU'RE NOT LOSING OR GIVING UP FUNDS YOU ARE JUST REDIRECT DURING THE FUNDS FOR SPECIAL PURPOSES. THE THIRD ONE ON THAT, REPEATING SOME OF THESE. CITY AND COUNTY WOULD MAINTAIN THE FROZEN PROPERTY VALUES. WHAT YOU HAVE NOW FROM ALL OF CONTINUE THE GROWTH IN THAT AREA OR EXPANSION AND NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THAT AREA IS WHAT WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE TRUST FUND.

I WAS ABLE TO TRACK THIS SPIRIT THESE ARE ACCUMULATIVE NUMBERS.

WE MAY NOT HAVE EVERY ONE OF THE CATEGORIES, THESE WERE NUMBERS

[02:35:03]

THT RESULTED WITH THE GAS TAX. THE AREA WE LOOKED AT WAS A 12% INCREASE. IT WAS A 30% INCREASE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BUSINESSES DEVELOP WITHIN THE CRA AND THOSE THAT DEVELOPED OUTSIDE. THE PROPERTIES AROUND THE AREA GREW OR INCREASED 39% SO THE RIPPLE EFFECT OF HAVING THE DEVELOPMENT GOING ON. THE PROJECTED FUNDS, I HEADED ON A BIGGER SHEATH THE LAST TIME. I TRIED TO BREAK IT DOWN INTO SMALLER INCREMENTS. IF YOU COME DOWN FOR NUMBERS, FROM THE FAR RIGHT COLUMN, THAT 3% GROWTH WOULD YIELD 3.8 MILLION OVER THE TERM OF THE CRA.

YOU CAN SEE HOW IT LOOKS. IF YOU GO WITH ANOTHER SCENARIO, GO DOWN TO THE LAST NUMBER ON THE FAR RIGHT COLUMN -- NUMBER.

THIS WOULD BE JUST FROM GROWTH. THE PREVIOUS SLIDE THE SAME THING. IF YOU FACTOR IN NEW ITEMS AND NEW EXPANSIONS THAT NUMBER WOULD BE MUCH HIGHER.

I WOULD RATHER LOOK AT IT CONSERVATIVELY THEN SOME NUMBER THAT IS NOT DEFENDABLE. THE SAMPLE PROJECTS, I WOULD LIKE TO REFER TO THIS MORE AS THE CLAY GRIECO CRA INCENTIVE FOR COMING ACROSS AS GRIECO CRA. BECAUSE OF SEVERAL REASONS.

NUMBER ONE WE HAVE INCLUDED A LOT OF THE AREA, AND IT INCLUDES ALL OF THE WAY UP TO THE JAIL. THE COUNTY PROPERTIES COULD BE ELIGIBLE TO HAVE SAMPLE PROJECTS IN THE AREA.

THEY HAVE BEEN DEFINED. IT'S A PARTNERSHIP.

FLOOD CONTROL INITIATIVES SPIRIT BOTH STORMWATER RELATED INITIATIVES SPIRIT AND MY REFERENCE LISTS PRESENTATION THEY HAVE FUNDS AND THEIR NUMBERS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN OURS. NEIGHBORHOOD PARK, I KNOW WE ARE INTERESTED. SIDEWALKS AND STREET DEVELOPMENT AND GRANTS AND LOANS FROM THE IMPROVEMENTS.

THE STRUCTURE, AGAIN NOT MUCH ON THE PAGE BECAUSE THAT COMES AFTER WE GET DOWN THE ROAD A BIT.

BUT THE EXPECTATION WOULD BE IT WOULD BE GOVERNED AS ONE OF THOSE FIVE. AND THE BYLAWS WOULD BE DEVELOPED TO THE ADVISORY BOARD. THE TERMS AND TERM LIMITS WOULD COME AFTER AS WELL. THE TASK THAT ARE PART OF THE PROCESS, IT EXPLAINS A TAD MORE. BOTH PARTIES WILL AGREE IN CONCEPT TO PROCEED WITH THE PROCESS, THE PROCESS REQUIRES EVERYTHING WILL BE DONE. THE EXPECTATION, AND THE

[02:40:10]

RESOLUTION THE FIRST STEP THAT HAS TO HAPPEN BY STATUTE IS THE FINDING AND WE CAN DO THAT AND WE WILL DO THAT AND IT WILL BE PRESENTED TO THE COUNTY AS WELL. YOU HAVE TO DO THAT.

FINDING A NECESSITY WILL NOT BE A PROBLEM.

WE HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT. SO, THAT PART WILL NOT BE AN ISSUE. AND IT LISTS THREE AREAS, ONE OR MORE WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR MODERATE INCOME INDIVIDUALS.

THIS FINDING HAS TO BE DONE AND PROVIDED TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND YOU ALL TO TAKE ACTION ON. MORE OFFICIAL ACTION, OF A RESOLUTION, COMMITTING WOULD BE REQUESTED.

AT THIS POINT GOING FORWARD, IT'S A LITTLE BEFORE, BUT THE REQUESTS WOULD BE AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE TO MOVE FORWARD.

AND MOVE FORWARD WITH IT, AND EVERYONE WILL BE KEPT UP TO SPEED IN THE PROCESS. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT FINDING THE NECESSITY? EVERYTHING WILL BE THERE.

>> IF WE CAN HAVE STEVE FINISH IT OUT THEN WE CAN ROUNDED OUT.

>> THE NEXT ONE, I THINK THERE WAS A REQUESTS, WHAT IS THE TIMELINE, WHAT WOULD IT LOOK% LIKE IF WE WERE TO DO IT NOW.

THIS EXAMPLE, IT STARTS APRIL 19, AND I THINK THESE ARE SUPPOSED TO MATCH UP WITH SOME OF YOUR MEETINGS.

WE WILL I HAVE IT AND THEN WE WILL USE IT AS AN EXAMPLE DATE.

AS SOON AS WE HAVE IT WE CAN INJECTED.

THEN, BOOK COMMUNITY WHICH ALREADY HAVE, WE WOULD PROVIDE ECONOMIC IMPACT, YOU HAVE SEEN THE COMPOSITION MORE.

THEN YOU HAVE TIME TO REACT. AND THEN WITHIN THAT THE COUNTY SHALL APPROVE OR DENY OR WHATEVER, I DON'T LIKE LOOKING AT THE DENY WORD. I THINK AT THIS POINT, WE HAVE DONE IT SUFFICIENTLY. THEN YOU WOULD PROVIDE THE REDEVELOPMENT TRANSPORT CAP PUTS IT INTO PERSPECTIVE.

IN SUMMARY, SPECIFICALLY FOCUSING ON POLICY FOR THE CITY.

[02:45:09]

THIS WOULD BE WHERE WE COULD CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER AND I APPRECIATE THAT FROM MY PERSPECTIVE REPORTING.

TRANSPARENCY WOULD BE MAINTAINED.

I WILL WE CAN FEEL WE ARE GOING IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION WHERE WE GET CONFIRMATION, THAT THIS IS A DEAL WE WILL PURSUE.

>> IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE LOOKED AT THIS SPIRIT WHAT IS THE MAKEUP. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE MAKEUP WILL BE. OTHER INDIVIDUALS WOULD BE TO TALK THIS WOULD BRING OUT A SKILL SET OR YOU'RE ASKING A LOT FOR A VOLUNTEER. MAKING A LOT OF POLICY DECISIONS

>> >> I HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF CITIZENS, THEY FEEL LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF CONCEPTUAL TALK ABOUT THIS PROJECT. BUT WITH THE GATEWAY TO CLAY, WE HAVEN'T SPENT MONEY AS THE COUNTY.

SO THE QUESTION FROM CITIZENS WHO DON'T LIVE IN THE AREA WHAT ARE THE NEGATIVES BEING PART OF THIS.

>> IT IS FUTURE TAX REVENUE WITHIN THE AREA AND IF TERESA COULD BRING ENOUGH WE COULD LOOK AT THAT AGAIN.

IT FREEZES THE TAXES AND REVENUES WITHIN THE AREA THAT ARE DEPICTED THAT WOULD RELET A CERTAIN DATE.

>> FINDING THE NECESSITY. THAT IS A BURDEN, WE HADN'T REALLY TALKED ABOUT IF WE COULD MAKE IT IN TIME.

BUT LOOKING AT IT I ASKED HIM FOR AN EXAMPLE SO THE BOARD HAD AN IDEA. LOOKING AT IT WHAT IS THE COUNTY GIVING UP IT IS THE FUTURE REVENUES.

I WAS GOING TO MENTION THIS DURING MY COMMENTS.

I HAD, VICTORIA HAD TO MAPS, SO THE GATEWAY TO CLAY, THAT ONE

[02:50:10]

THERE I HAVE TO GET COORDINATION.

IT ENCOMPASSES THE AREA. ALL OF THIS WITH THEN THE MUNICIPALITY. ALL OF THESE ALREADY, SO, IF WE DID CREATED, DO YOU REALLY NEED TO DO THAT.

, YOU COULD TALK ABOUT IT AS A BOARD AND VOTE ON IT REALISTICALLY. LOOKING AT THAT AND TALKING TO OTHERS, IT MAY NOT HAPPEN. WHY WOULD WE FREEZE THOSE REVENUES. , I THINK, IT WAS A HARD CONCEPT TO SAY. YOU HAVE THESE INITIATIVES AND THESE EFFORTS, HOW DOES THAT BRING PEOPLE IN.

FOOD TRUCK FRIDAY AND OTHER EVENTS, PEOPLE WHO WANT TO COME HERE. THEY MAY HAVE A NEGATIVE FEELING BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A PLACE TO PARK.

THAT ALSO GOALS AND IMPROVES THE AREA AND YOU SAY WHAT ARE THE OTHER BENEFITS AND SURROUNDING AREAS WITHIN THE PROPERTIES.

THERE ARE BENEFITS THAT ARE LONG-LASTING WITH THE ROAD.

HOPEFULLY THAT ANSWERS THE QUESTION.

THE BOTTOM LINE, FUTURE REVENUES WITHIN THE AREA IT IS DEPICTED.

>> THEN I HAD ANOTHER ONE. >> I THINK WE WOULD LOOK FOR APPROVAL TO MOVE FORWARD ON THIS.

OBVIOUSLY STEVE HAS HOMEWORK TO DO.

>> WE WERE TALKING ABOUT. >> YOUR TAX ON THIS AREA, THEY

ARE IN IT TOGETHER. >> THE OTHER QUESTION WAS, BY APPROVING THIS WITH THE BOARD GIVE UP ANY DECISION-MAKING

CAPABILITIES. >> WHEN IT CAME TO PARTICULAR PROJECTS, STEVE AND I TALKED ABOUT TO HAVE REPRESENTATION ON THE BOARD AND IT WAS A BIG THING I FELT.

OBVIOUSLY IF HE'S WILLING TO DISCUSS THE OTHER POSITIONS TOO, THAT BENEFITS US BOTH. YOU WILL HAVE A MAIN PERSON THERE AND OTHER MEMBERS PERHAPS AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT.

HE OWES THAT. I THINK WITH THAT THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS, IT'S A HARD JOB.

THEY'RE TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT WILL YOU DO NEXT WITH THE MONEY AND YOU WANTED TO BE SUCCESSFUL. WHAT IS THE NEXT THING YOU WOULD

DO. >> I THINK THE PEOPLE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE COUNTY GIVING UP TAX REVENUE, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE A SAY IN WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE FUTURE

REVENUES. >> IT SEEMS LIKE WE COULD BE GIVING UP $20 MILLION OVER 30 YEARS.

IS THAT RIGHT. >> AND WILL RANGE FROM WHATEVER

IT IS. >>

>> PHILOSOPHICALLY, IT MAKES SENSE.

WHAT PROJECTS WE WILL BE LOOKING AT.

[02:55:12]

THAT WAS THE CONCERN THAT WAS BROUGHT TO ME.

IT WASN'T ABOUT NOT LIKING GREEN COVE SPRINGS.

IT WAS YOU TALK A LOT ABOUT THE PROJECTS.

BUT ASKING THE CITIZENS TO GIVE UP REVENUE THAT YOU ARE HAVING

CONVERSATIONS ABOUT BRINGING. >> I'M GLAD TO HEAR THE COMMISSIONERS SAY BAD, BECAUSE WHEN THEY WERE FORMED WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY REPRESENTATION ON THE BOARD.

WE HAD NO INPUT WHATSOEVER. I WOULD LIKE THE COMMISSIONER TO

TALK TO. >>

>> THEY HAVE DONE AMAZING THINGS IN THE AREA.

I THINK IT WOULD. WE AREN'T GIVING UP AND IT IS ONLY DELAYING THE COLLECTION OF DURING THE PROCESS, ANYTHING THAT GROWS OUTSIDE OF THE AREA, IT DOESN'T AFFECT.

>> OF THIS WASN'T DONE THIS LIKELY WOULDN'T HAPPEN.

TO GET TO WHERE WE ARE THE COUNCIL FROM THE BOARD, THEY COULD NOT AS A GOVERNING BODY DECIDE BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING TO PULL THE ACTIVITY INTO THE CITY ACTIVITY, AND HAVING IT SEPARATE AND ITS OWN IDENTITY. I THINK IT WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER PARTNERSHIP AND GIVING UP THE MONIES, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE, IN KEYSTONE PROPPER AND CLAY COUNTY INC. THAT USE A LOT

OF YOUR FACILITIES. >> I THINK WE WILL GIVE UP CONTROL. WE WILL HAVE SOMEONE ON THE

BOARD. >> THESE WERE QUESTIONS ASKED TO

ME. >> CAN YOU BRING UP THE PROJECTED FUNDS. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT OF THE BUNNIES WILL BE OR NOT IT WILL TAKE YOU TIME TO GET ENOUGH INTO YOUR SAVINGS ACCOUNT, JUST TO GET IT.

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE AND FOR THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND IF THIS

[03:00:04]

GAME WAS FOR COUNTY REVENUES AND CITY REVENUES OF WHERE THEY ARE FROZEN. HE PREDICTED WHERE IT WOULD BE

AND THAT. >> JUST MAKE A QUICK POINT.

WE COLLECTIVELY, THE CRA HAS ESTABLISHED AND COLLECTIVELY IT CAN BE REQUESTED BY THE GOVERNING BOARD TO, IF IT GETS TO A POINT WHERE IT HAS PROVIDED A SERVICE THAT IS NEEDED AND A IT IS NOT AN ABSOLUTE OBLIGATION THAT IT WILL BE LOOKED AT AGAIN UNTIL SUNSET. THAT IS NOT THE CASE.

IF YOU START EVERYONE AND TO THE POINT OF WHOEVER WAS ASKING,

THERE WILL BE A FIVE. >> A COMMISSIONER SHALL RECEIVE

NO COMPENSATION FOR EXPENSES. >> HE PROJECTED 30 IN HIS

CALCULATIONS. >> WHAT IS THE CONTRACTUAL TERM OF THE AGREEMENT, WHATEVER THE BOARD'S PLEASURE IS AND WHATEVER WE I DON'T KNOW IF IT CAN BE 50. MORE THAN 40 OR 30.

THIS WOULD BE THE OUTSIDE. IT CAN BE RENEWED IF YOU WANT, BUT AGAIN, YOU COULD MAKE THOSE TERMINATION FEAR WEEKEND SUNSET THIS THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THEY WOULD BRING BACK TO THE

ENTITIES. >> I THINK THIS WAS IN ITS 12TH YEAR. SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN THE

12 YEARS. >> IT WOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW IF THEY BONDED. I AGREE WITH THE COMMISSIONER I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A PRESENTATION ON THEIR CRA AND LEARN MORE IF

WE COULD FIND OUT MORE. >> MOVING ALONG.

[03:05:03]

>> THANK YOU MAYOR. >> THANK YOU.

>> AND PLAYING PICKLE BALL. >> NUMBER 13.

[13. Presentation of proposed Mortgage, Note and Assignment of Mortgage related to the Housing Finance Authority and Vestcor for the Molly Crossing Project (C. Grimm/T. Sumner)]

>> NUMBER 13 IS AN CONNECTION WITH AN AGREEMENT THAT THE COUNTY HAS WITH THE FINANCE AUTHORITY WHAT THEY ARE REQUESTING IS THEY ARE AT THE POINT WHERE THEY ARE BEING FORWARD TO CLOSE ON THE LOAN. WE WILL BE CONTRIBUTING 300 THERE WILL BE A NOTE AND MORTGAGE THAT'S EXECUTED BY MOLLY CROSSINGS. THEY ARE ASKING FOR US TO DO AN ASSIGNMENT BACK TO THE HOUSING FINANCE AUTHORITY.

>> SO, THE DOCUMENTS AND FRONT OF YOU, PROVES THAT.

BASICALLY THE FUNDS THAT THE COUNTY IS PERFORMING.

THE MECHANICS IS REALLY DICTATED THROUGH THE STATE FINANCING APPLICATION PROCESS. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT IS REALLY AN FHA LOAN BLOWN THROUGH THE COUNTY FACT THROUGH THE FHA THAT WILL BE FUNDED BY THE FHA. DOES ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS?

>> THERE WERE NO CHANGES MADE BUT JUST TO BE CLEARED THE MORTGAGE AND THE NOTE THERE WAS A REVISED LOAN AMOUNT THEN THE DOCUMENTS. IT WAS $11.7 MILLION.

BUT -- IT IS 11.7 AND WHAT WAS IN YOUR DOCUMENTS WAS

$11.5 MILLION. >> AND THEY PLAN TO CLOSE ON THURSDAY SO THEY NEED THE ASSIGNMENT.

>> THEY NEED THAT TO PERFECTION WEIGHT THAT.

>> I MOVE FOR APPROVAL. >> ALL IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING AYE. ANY OPPOSED IT CARRIES 5-0.

[14. Mobility Fee Credit Agreement for Road Right of Way, Stormwater Management Facility Easements and Construction Re: Robinson Ranch (C. Grimm)]

>> NUMBER 14. NUMBER 14 IS A MOBILITY FEE CREDIT AGREEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH A PROJECT KNOWN AS ROBINSON RANCH AND IT ACTUALLY HAS LOTS OF DIFFERENT COMPONENTS.

IT IS SOMEWHAT UNIQUE. IT INVOLVES, MOBILITY FEE CREDIT WITH DONATIONS THAT THE PROJECTS PROVIDE FOR STORMWATER FACILITIES FOR THE BOND AND TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM.

IT PROVIDES SATISFACTION OF THE CREDITS IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROJECT AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL RIGHT-OF-WAY IN CONNECTION WITH THE ROAD THAT THEY ARE DONATING TO THE COUNTY AND WE ARE PROVIDING FUNDS OR MOBILITY FEE CREDIT BACK IN EXCHANGE FOR THAT.

[21. Parks & Recreation Online Reservation System - Newbook Payment Gateway with Chosen Payments Application and Agreement (T. Nagle/K. Morgan)]

>> THANK YOU. >> NUMBER 21 PARKS AND RECREATION ONLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM.

AND SHE IS BACK. >> I AM BACK.

WE ARE ACTUALLY ASKING, WE ARE SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE NEW BOOK PAYMENT GATEWAY MERCHANT PROCESSING. BASICALLY THE GATEWAY FOR US TO UTILIZE ONLINE RESERVATIONS. THE REASON WE ARE BRINGING THIS TO YOU, IT GOES AGAINST THE PURCHASING LEVEL FOR RENEWALS IN THE AGREEMENT. IT IS STANDARD PROCEDURE FOR ELECTRONIC PAYMENT GATEWAYS AND CREDIT CARD GATEWAYS TO HAVE ONE AGREEMENT THAT THEY USE WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO ADAPT JUST FOR US. THAT IS WHY WE ARE BRINGING IT

TO YOU TODAY. >> CAN WE BID THIS?

>> WE HAVE DONE THIS WITH OTHER CREDIT CARD GATE I USE.

>> I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE SAME WAY, WAS IT NOT?

>> WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS YOU ARE APPROVING THE USE OF A CREDIT

[03:20:04]

CARD GATEWAY BECAUSE IF WE STOP USING IF WE STOP USING IT.

CREDIT CARD COMPANIES WILL NOT LET YOU SAY YOU CAN USE IT FOR ONE YEAR. BASICALLY IF YOU USE IT YOU PAY FOR THE SERVICES. I'VE WE TALKED ABOUT MOST ARE GOING TO PROPRIETARY GATEWAYS BECAUSE EVERYONE WANTS TO BE IN THE PAYMENT BUSINESS NOW. SO THIS IS IDENTICAL TO YOUR

STRIPE AGREEMENT. >> HOW DO WE PICK THESE GUYS.

>> HOW DO WE PICK THE GATEWAY. IS GOVERNED BY THE SOFTWARE.

THIS IS WHAT WE PICK FOR THE PARK.

IT WAS UNDERNEATH THE THRESHOLD TO COME TO THE BOARD FOR USING A RESERVATION SYSTEM. DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?

>> COUNTY STAFF PICK THIS QUICK. >> WE PICK THEM AS A RESERVATION SYSTEM THAT WOULD WORK FOR THE CAMPGROUNDS AND YOUR FACILITY.

WE HAVE A UNIQUE SITUATION WHERE WE HAVE A CAMPGROUND WE HAVE TO RUN AND VERY FEW SOFTWARE LET YOU DO CAMPGROUND AND PAVILIONS.

WE PICK THE SOFTWARE AND IMPLEMENTED AT THE SAME TIME, THERE WERE MULTIPLE GATEWAYS WE COULD USE, BUT OF SOFTWARE CHANGE WITH COVID-19 THEY WENT TO THEIR GATEWAY AND SAID THAT'S WHEN YOU HAVE TO USE IN ORDER TO USE THEIR SOFTWARE.

>> WHAT IS THIS WORK TO THEM? >> WHAT IS IT WORTH TO THEM? DO THEY MAKE MONEY OFF OF THE FEELS THAT'S RIGHT FEES, HOW

MUCH DO YOU ANTICIPATE PER YEAR. >> FROM THIS PROCESS WE WON'T PAY ANYTHING IT IS A PASS-THROUGH CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER. YOU GET AN -- AV ON YOUR CREDIT CARD AND THAT PASSES THROUGH TO THE CONSUMER.

>> HOW MUCH WILL THE CONSUMER PAY FOR IT?

>> 3% I THINK IS THE STANDARD. THREE OR 3.5% IS WHAT MOST OF

THEM CHARGE. >> THIS IS PRETTY STANDARD.

WHEN I RAN MY BUSINESS AND WE DID PARTY RESERVATIONS THEY DID THE SAME AND THAT IS THE WAY WORK.

WHEN YOU MADE THE RESERVATION, YOU COULD ALSO BRING UP THE CHARGE FOR WHATEVER YOU WANT, AND IT WORKS TOGETHER.

THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT. >> WHAT HAVE WE BEEN DOING IN THE PAST? HAS IT BEEN MANUAL?

>> I WOULD IMAGINE WE WOULD COLLECT MORE FEES THEN YOU DON'T HAVE SOMEONE CALLING TO MAKE THE RESERVATION AND NEVER DROPPING

OFF THE CHECK. >> I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR YOUR OFFICE BUT GETTING AWAY FROM TAKING CHECKS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR BOUNCE CHECK, AND HOW DOES THAT WORK, WE CAN GO TO A SYSTEM WHERE IT IS INTEGRATED DIRECTLY WITH THE PAYMENT GATEWAY AND THAT MEANS THERE'S LESS CHANCE FOR TYPOS OR MISTAKES, EVERYTHING FLOWS THROUGH BETTER.

IT DOES INCREASE THEIR WORKLOAD. BUT IT DOES STREAMLINE THEIR

APPLICATIONS. >> QUESTIONS.

>> I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE YOUR.

>> PROMOTION AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING
