HUNTINGTON FROM. [INAUDIBLE] >> GREG HUNTINGTON, WASTE MANAGEMENT. PUBLIC SECTOR REPRESENTATIVE, 1336 CABBIE COURT GREEN COVE SPRINGS FLORIDA. I WILL TALK ABOUT NEW BUSINESS 18. -- SOLID WASTE TRANSFER STATION, OPERATION AND TRANSPORTATION DISPOSAL FIRST. I WAS WANT TO TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO THANK THIS COMMISSION, THANKED THE COUNTY MANAGER AND MAKE THE STAFF AS WELL AS RESIDENTS OF CLAY COUNTY, AS YOU ARE AWARE, WE DO SERVICE RESIDENTIAL CONTRACT FOR THE COUNTY. WE ALSO SERVE AS A LIVING TRANSPORTATION AND DISPOSAL CONTRACT WHICH THIS RFP REPRESENTS.

WE BEEN DOING THE LAST 17 YEARS, WE PROVIDE COMMERCIAL SERVICES TO BUSINESSES IN CLAY COUNTY. WE ALSO PROVIDE RESIDENTIAL SERVICES TO THE CITY OF KEYSTONE HEIGHTS AS WELL AS THE TOWN OF ORANGE PARK. WE WILL INVEST IN YOUR COUNTY. OUR BASE OF OPERATIONS IS LESS THAN THREE MILES FROM HE I ALWAYS WANT TO THANK SAY THANK YOU WITH THE PARTNERSHIP WE SHARE WITH THE COUNTY, TO ALLOW US TO PROVIDE THESE CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES TO YOUR RESIDENCE.

AND THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT PARTNERSHIP. I DEAL WITH A LOT OF MR. POLLY'S IN NORTHEAST FLORIDA. THIS IS EASILY IN THE TOP THREE OF WHAT I CONSIDER GOOD PARTNERSHIPS, THAT IS ALWAYS REFRESHING.

I DID JUST WANT TO MAKE A FEW COMMENTS CONCERNING THE RFP PROCESS.

THE RFP WAS VERY THOROUGH IN THE INFORMATION THAT WAS REQUESTED OF EACH VENDOR.

YOU THEN HAD AN EVALUATION COMMITTEE, THAT METICULOUSLY, WENT THROUGH THE RFP, INFORMATION THAT WAS SUBMITTED, IT WAS THEN SCORED.

WASTE MANAGEMENT SCORED 95 POINTS, WHEREAS GFL SCORED 85 POINTS.

PART OF THAT SCORING, COUNTED FOR PRICE. WE HAD THE HIGH MARKS FOR PRICE BECAUSE WE WERE THE LOWEST COST OPTION. IN THE END, WE AS A LONG-TERM PROVIDER, WE RANKED THE HIGHEST AS WELL AS HAD THE LOWEST SCORE.

AND THEN JUST A FINAL COMMENT. KUDOS TO THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION. I KNOW THE BOARD RELIES HEAVILY ON STAFF TO DO THAT BECAUSE WE DEAL WITH SO MANY ITEMS. BUT IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING WE ARE STILL IN THE EVALUATION PHASE.

PROCUREMENT SAID THAT THE VENDORS PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO PUBLIC RECORDS. WHICH WOULD MEAN THAT OUR PROPOSALS AND PRICING WILL REMAIN INTACT THROUGH THE EVALUATION PROCESS. IF IT IS THE WILL OF THE BOARD, WE GO THROUGH VENDOR PRESENTATIONS ON THE 25TH AND WE LOOK FORWARD WITH

THIS CONCLUDES MY COMMENTS. >> I DO HAVE A COMMENT, WE ALLUDED TO ALL THE CONSTRUCTION THAT TRANSPORTATION WILL ENTAIL OVER THE NEXT 24 MONTHS OR SO. WE HAVE STATE ROADS THAT WILL BE UNDER RENOVATION, 17 TO START BY THE SUMMER SOMETIME. BETWEEN ORANGE PARK AND GREEN COVE. AND WE HAVE COUNTY RESIDENT RESURFACING GOING ON PLANNING, WITHIN THE COUNTY. THERE IS A LOT TO BE COMPLAIN ABOUT BUT THEN AGAIN, I HEARD A COMMENT LAST TWO WEEKS AGO I THINK IT WAS. ABOUT HOW NICE LANDING WAS GOING THROUGH MIDDLEBURG.

THAT WAS A WELCOME COMMENT CONSIDERING ALL, NEGATIVE COMMENTS WE GOT UNDER CONSTRUCTION. IT IS A PAIN WE HAVE TO SUFFER TO HAVE, FOR THE COMMUNITY FOR THE FUTURE. THERE ARE A LOT OF MOVING PARTS IN CLAY COUNTY.

>> DID YOU SIT AROUND ABOUT? >> YES, IT IS ONE OF THE OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS. GA I IS WORKING ON THAT BASICALLY TAKEN THE ENTIRE PLAN SET IN THAT'S WHY THE OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS MOVING FORWARD, YES MA'AM.

[INAUDIBLE] AGAIN, THE ACTUAL DESIGN OF THE ROUNDABOUT IS, LOOKING AT -- CARLOS, WHERE ARE WE AT? I WOULD SAY IT IS NEARING COMPLETION BUT THEY WILL HAVE TO PULL THE SECTION AND AGAIN, MAKE IT ONE INDEPENDENT COMPONENT LIKE THE OTHER TWO. BUT THAT WATKINS AND AT OAK

[18.  RFP No. 22/23-24, Solid Waste Transfer Stations - Operation, Transport, and Disposal (K. Smith / M. Towns)]

WHO YOU ARE AND WHO YOU WORK FOR? >> CARLOS CAMPOS --

[INAUDIBLE] >> THANK YOU. >> WE ARE ONTO NEW BUSINESS. RFP NUMBER 20 FEBRUARY 23, 2024 SOLID WASTE TRANSFER STATION OPERATION TRANSPORT DISPOSAL. PURCHASING.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON. THE COUNTY DID ISSUE THE RFP FOR THE SERVICES.

WE HAD FOUR COMPANIES THAT ATTENDED THE PRE-BID MEETING.

THEN TWO THAT SUBMITTED PROPOSALS, PROPOSALS WOULD YOU MUNCH NINTH AND EVALUATED BY COMMITTEE OF THREE OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS. DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE CONTRACT AND TRAUMA TO BE 10 YEAR CONTRACT, WE WANTED TO BRING IT TO THE BOARD FOR CONSIDERATION AND PRESENTATIONS AT THE NEXT RD MEETING.

>> WANT TO KNOW IF WOULD LIKE TO SEE PRESENTATIONS? >> YES.

>> I'D LIKE TO. >> JUST FOR INFORMATION. HIS IS THE PROPOSAL FOR ONE COMPANY. PROBABLY 100 PAGES. FAIRLY EXTENSIVE.

AND I THINK IT WOULD BE WELL, WELL SERVED IF WE WOULD HEAR FROM THE APPLICANTS. I THINK IT WILL BE A GOOD IDEA TO HEAR THE PROPOSAL.

THE CONTRACTORS. >> I AGREE. I ALSO THINK THAT THE CHAIRMAN, COMMISSIONER CONDON WOULD LIKE TO BE IN THE DECISION.

WE NEED TO VOTE ON THAT OR JUST GIVE STAFF DIRECTION? >> JUST DIRECTION.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION AND COMMENT. THESE ARE FAIRLY LONG CONTRACTS. I THINK THERE 10 YEARS WITH EXTENSIONS.

S. AND SO, THE APPROVAL OF SUCKS CONTRACT WILL BE OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. REEVALUATING OUT PAST, WE GIVE THEM SPECIFICS, 260,000 TONS OR WHATEVER. THIS THIS YEAR. WE ARE LOOKING AT TWO,

[00:35:01]

THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, 10. >> THE ORIGINAL TERM OF THE

AGREEMENT IS 10 YEARS BUT IT'S REVISITED ANNUALLY. >> I GUESS I'M ASKING FISCAL IMPACT OVER THE LENGTH OF THE CONTRACT. FOR INSTANCE, ONE OF THESE CONTRACTORS HAS A SUB THAT IS GOING TO PROVIDE SERVICE.

WE ARE AT A COST PLUS ON THIS SUB. WHAT ARE THE ESCALATION CLAUSES IN THAT SUBCONTRACT, I GUESS, IS SOMEBODY LOOKING AT THAT IS

MY QUESTION. >> WE ARE HERE TO PROVIDE THAT.

>> GOOD EVENING. ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES DIRECTOR.

YOU ARE CORRECT, CERTAINLY DOES LONG-TERM AGREEMENTS, TENURE AGREEMENTS I WANT TO POINT OUT OUR STANDARD WITH CONTRACTS LIKE THIS THAT HAVE SUCH HEAVY TRANSFER INVESTMENT THEY CAN DEPRECIATE THE EQUIPMENT AND TRUCKS OVER A 10 YEAR TERM, RATHER THAN SHORTER. BOTH CONTRACTORS SAID THEY INTEND TO HIRE SUBCONTRACTORS TO HANDLE. IN THE CASE OF THE ONE YOU'RE SPEAKING OF, WE ASK A PER TON RATE. WE INVITED THE RESPONDENTS AN ALTERNATIVE RATE STRUCTURE. IT MIGHT BE OF BENEFIT TO THE COUNTY.

WHEN DID THAT. HER CURRENT, WORKING WITH THE COUNTY AUDITOR AND SHE IS OPEN TO TAKE THOSE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS, AND TRY TO FILL IN THE CRYSTAL BALL, GOING FORWARD TO 10 YEARS WITH YOU KNOW, ESTIMATING A REASONABLE CPI INCREASE OR REASONABLE FUEL COST ADJUSTMENT SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF COST. THE CONTRACT I WILL POINT OUT IS AS FAR AS VOLUME INCREASE, THIS IS A PER TON RATE SO, IF WE SHIP MORE, COLLECTED SHIP MORE TONS OF GARBAGE TO THE LANDFILL, WE WILL PAY MORE. HOWEVER THE RATE PER TON WILL BE OUR CONTRACTUALLY DECIDED UPON. AS WE HEARD, THE CURRENT CONTRACTOR HAS BEEN HERE FOR 17 YEARS. IT IS A LONG-TERM CONTRACT.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET IT RIGHT UP FRONT. A LONG TIME TO PAY FOR A BETTER DECISION. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR EVERYONE? QUESTION IS, DO WE WANT TO HAVE A PRESENTATION FOR BOTH, AND DO WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THIS? I WILL SAY DIRECT STAFF TO ASK THE RESPONDENTS TO

PROVIDE A BRIEF NEXT COMMISSION MEETING. >> ABSOLUTELY, THANK YOU.

>> WE ARE AT ITEM NUMBER 19. PUBLIC HEARING ON MT

MEDICAL FLORIDA. >> WE HAVE TO WAIT ON THOSE UNTIL 5:00.

>> WE HAVE TO WAIT. >> YOU CAN MOVE ON DOWN TO THE LETTERS FOR ACTION.

[23.  Discussion of Re-Appointment to the Tourist Development Council]

>> LETTERS FOR ACTION. OKAY. WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 23. DISCUSSION OF REAPPOINTMENT OF THE TOURIST DEVELOPING COUNSEL, KIMBERLY EVANS> MR. CHAIR, IF YOU WOULD , SITTING AS THE CHAIR OF THE TDC, I CAN SAY THAT KIM EVANS HAS DONE A GREAT JOB ON THE BOARD.

SHE IS FINISHING UP A TERM THIS TO BE THE FIRST FULL TERM.

SHE REPRESENTS THE HOTEL YOUR SEAT, WHICH IS VERY TOUGH FOR US TO FILL BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE HOTEL BUSINESS AND BE A RESIDENT OF CLAY COUNTY AT THE SAME TIME. WHICH IS UNDER THOSE REQUIREMENTS.

AND SO, MY RECOMMENDATION WILL BE TO APPROVE HER TO BE REAPPOINTED.

>> THE APPOINTMENT IS FOR HOW LONG? >> FOR YEARS.

A FOUR-YEAR TERM . >> OKAY. MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE

MS. KIMBERLY EVANS, TO THE TDC. >> MOVE APPROVAL.

>> SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE KIMBERLY EVANS TO THE TDC. ANY DISCUSSION? VOTE, ALL IN FAVOR.

[00:40:03]

>> MOVE ON DOWN THE LIST, PUBLIC COMMENTS. PUBLIC COMMENTS, SECOND PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD THIS IS RARE THAT WE GET SO FAR .

[LAUGHTER] >> SOMEBODY COME TALK! >> YOU HAVE GOT 20 MINUTES

TO FILL. KEEP IT MOVING. >> WE MIGHT TAKE A RECESS

HERE. >> I THINK SO. >> I DON'T SEE THE

[COUNTY ATTORNEY]

COMMISSION AUDITOR PRESENT. MUST BE ON VACATION. >> UNDER THE WEATHER.

>> UNDER THE WEATHER. IT WAS PRETTY NASTY AFTER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS.

COUNTY ATTORNEY! >> OKAY. SO, JUST ONE ITEM I WANTED TO REMIND YOU OF. AND LET YOU KNOW THAT WE WILL BE COMING BEFORE YOU, MAYBE NXT BOARD MEETING OR THE FIRST MEETING IN MAY. SO, AS YOU RECALL, GREEN COAST SPRINGS HAD COME TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THEIR COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT.AND THEY HAVE PROCEEDED ALONG, AND IN DECEMBER, THEY PROVED WHAT THEY CALLED THE CREATION ORDINANCE. AND SO, THEY CREATED THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY. IN THE RESOLUTION THAT YOU APPROVE, HE SPECIFICALLY GAVE THE AGENCY THE AUTHORITY TO BE CREATED WITH TWO MEMBERS FROM THE COUNTY, WHICH WAS COMMISSIONER BURKE AND THE COUNTY AUDITOR PRETTY ALSO GIVE THEM THE AUTHORITY TO APPROVE A COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN. SO, THE CRA HAS APPROVED A REDEVELOPMENT PLAN, THAT HAS RECENTLY GONE IN FRONT OF THE CITY. THEY HAVE APPROVED THAT AS WELL. THAT PLAN WILL BE COMING BEFORE YOU AND THROUGH TERESA, WE WILL EMAIL IT TO YOU. IT'S A LITTLE OVER 200 PAGES. AS PART OF YOUR AUTHORIZING RESOLUTION, YOU ASKED FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPROVE THAT AS WELL. SO, WE WILL BE BRINGING TO YOU, NOT ONLY YOUR APPROVAL OF THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN, BUT ALSO, AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT THAT YOU WILL BE ENTERING INTO WITH THE CITY, THE UNDER FLORIDA STATUTES, WILL DELEGATE CERTAIN AUTHORITIES AND POWERS THAT THE CRA WILL

HAVE IN CONNECTION WITH PURSUING THEIR PLAN. >> REFRESH MY MEMORY, CRA IS, TIME -- IT DIES AFTER CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME, IT CANNOT BE RENEWED?

>> I THINK IS 30 YEARS. >> IT'S A LONG TIME, 30 YEARS? JUST FOR THE PUBLIC, WITH THE CRA DOES, IT TAKES A DISTRESSED AREA, AND PROVIDES INCENTIVES TO IMPROVE THE AREA AND WITH THE INCENTIVE, WITH THE IMPROVEMENT, USUALLY COMES AN INCREASE IN AD VALOREM REVENUE.

THAT REVENUE HAS TO BE SPENT INSIDE THAT CRA. IT CANNOT BE USED OUTSIDE THE CRA. THAT IS A BENEFIT OF ESTABLISHING A CRA.

AND SO, I GUESS THEY THOUGHT THIS AREA, EVERY AREA CAN BE IMPROVED.

THIS AREA SHOULD BE, GO THROUGH REJUVENATION IMPROVEMENT.

THAT IS WHAT A CRA IS ALL ABOUT. >> OTHER THAN THAT, THAT'S

[COUNTY MANAGER]

ALL I HAVE. >> DANCE OR SING OR SOMETHING.

COUNTY MANAGER. >> CHAIRMAN AND BOARD, A COUPLE OF ITEMS. FIRST OF ALL, FACEBOOK IS UP AND IT IS ON FACEBOOK LIVE.

ANYONE CAN TUNE IN ON THAT, WE ARE BACK UP. THE NEXT ITEM I HAVE, 11 DAYS OF THE FAIR. AND REALLY, GREAT PARTNERSHIP THERE.

A COMPLETE TEAM EFFORT ACROSS THE BOARD FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT, SHERIFF'S OFFICE, SHERIFF DEPUTIES. I WANT TO THANK THEM, TRAFFIC FLOW, IT BECOMES DIFFICULT AT TIMES BUT REALLY, NOTHING MAJOR THERE.

PUBLIC SAFETY. AND CLAY COUNTY FIRE RESCUE, AND THEIR DILIGENCE AND EXPERTISE IN TAKING CARE OF THOSE OUT THERE. LOTS OF HEAT STROKE.

IT WAS ACTUALLY BEAUTIFUL FOR 10 OF THOSE 11 DAYS. AND IT WAS THAT LAST DAY, THEY HAVE RECORD NUMBER TOTAL OF ATTENDANCE OF 150,000.

WE HAVE ASKED TOSHA TO COME AND GIVE A BRIEF OF THE NEXT BOARD MEETING OR THE ONE AFTER NEXT. THAT KIND OF BRIEF US ON SPECIFICS.

ONE OF THE GRAND TOTAL DAYS IS OVER 25,000. WHO VISITED.

SO THAT IS VERY SUCCESSFUL. AND I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T THANK TWO OTHER, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, JOE WAS HERE EARLIER BUT WE STOOD UP OUR ELC WITH

>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. BEFORE 6 O'CLOCK, I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN ACTUALLY SPEAK BEFORE 6 O'CLOCK. I JUST WANT TO ADD MY THANKS TO THE STAFF AND NUMEROUS COUNTY DEPARTMENTS I HAD TO WORK SO HARD IN REGARDS TO CARRYING OUT THE FAIR. IT IS MONUMENTAL TASK TO SEE THAT IT ATTRACTS OVER 150,000 PEOPLE IN 10 DAYS, SOMETHING OF COURSE, THE MOST SIGNIFICANT EVENT WE HAVE HERE IN THE COUNTY AND HAS A BIG FINANCIAL IMPACT ON THE COUNTY.

SO, WITHOUT THAT RAINY EASTER SUNDAY, KNOWS WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN AT THE END OF THE RUN. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL CONCERNED THERE.

THEY DID THEIR TOP PANEL, WHICH IS A FANTASTIC TWO DAYS OF STUDYING THE COLLEGE DRIVE AREA. AND AT THE END OF THEIR TWO DAYS, THEY DID A PRESENTATION WHICH, THE COLLEGE DRIVE AREA COULD BE LIKE IN THE FUTURE.

PANELISTS WERE REALLY SHARP INDIVIDUALS THAT HAD MANY YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT, REDEVELOPMENT, ZONING AND A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT THINGS. THEY WERE ALL REALLY

[01:00:01]

THE FINAL WRITTEN REPORT WILL BE DELIVERED IN ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE WEEKS.

I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THAT COMES THROUGH AND WE WERE ABLE TO SHOW EVERYBODY WHAT, WHAT THEY WERE ABLE TO PUT TOGETHER, BASED ON SEEING WHAT WAS THERE AND WHERE IT COULD GO AND SOME OF THE EXPERIENCES THAT THEY HAD IN OTHER LOCATIONS THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO INCLUDE IN THIS PRESENTATION.

I'VE GOT TO SAY THAT, GABBY DID A FANTASTIC JOB. SHE WAS SINGLED OUT WITH FOLKS THAT RUN THE PANELS. GETTING ALL OF THE WORK NECESSARY DONE IN TERMS OF INFORMATION AND MAKING CONNECTIONS AND ARRANGEMENTS FOR THEM TO COME IN AND HAVE A TOUR. HAVE TO THANK CHARISSE FOR THE TOUR.

MOST OF THEM LEFT THE TOUR BUS WITH WHITE KNUCKLES. [LAUGHTER] SHE WAS LOOKING TO MAKE SURE THEY STAYED AWAKE ON THE TOUR.

SHE SUCCEEDED! [LAUGHTER] THANK YOU THERE, THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY ELSE THAT PARTICIPATED. SPEAKING OF COLLEGE DRIVE INITIATIVE. COMING UP ON FRIDAY, APRIL 20, IT'S ANOTHER FOOD TRUCK NIGHT THERE. THIS TIME, IT'S BEING HELD IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE 34TH ANNUAL SCHOOL DISTRICT STUDENT ART SHOW. FOLKS WILL BE THERE LOOKING AT STUDENT ART, AS WELL AS GETTING TOGETHER TO HONOR OUR TEACHERS AND IT WILL BE A FOOD TRUCK NIGHT AS WELL. THOSE THINGS WILL BE HAPPENING HOPEFULLY, THERE WILL BE SOME GREAT MIXING OF AUDIENCES THERE. IT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

IT IS FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 7:54 PM WILL BE THE FOOD TRUCK.

THAT'S AT THE THRASHER HORN CENTER. HOPEFULLY, A LOT OF FOLKS WILL TURN OUT AND TAKE A LOOK ATTHAT AND SEE WHERE STUDENTS ARE DOING IN SCHOOL WITH THEIR ART. AND ENJOYING SOME OF THE GAMES AND MUSIC AND THE FOOD TRUCKS THAT WILL BE THERE ON BEHALF OF COLLEGE DRIVE INITIATIVE.

THAT IS ALL I HAVE, MR. CHAIR. THANK YOU.

>> COMMISSIONER COMPERE. >> I WILL KEEP IT BRIEF. I ALSO WANT TO SOUND LIKE A BURGER TONIGHT AND SAY THANK YOU TO COUNTY STAFF FOR EFFECTIVELY PUTTING ON THE FAIR AND MAKING AN ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE. I KNOW IT TAKES A LOT A LOT OF TIME, ENERGY, RESOURCES, SLEEPLESS NIGHTS. ALL OF THE ABOVE.

IT IS DIFFICULT TO PULL THIS OFF. MY FAMILY ENJOYED IT SO MUCH AND I WOULD BE REMISS NOT TO SAY SOMETHING. A BIG BIG THANK YOU.

ANOTHER THING I WANT TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION, THE HOA MEETING, I WENT TO A HOA MEETING. ONE OF MY DISTRICT. THERE WAS A COMMENT THAT WAS MADE TO COUNTY STAFF THEY WANTED TO PASS ALONG TO YOU ALL.

THEY SAID, THE EXPEDIENCY WITH WHICH THE CLAY COUNTY STAFF MOVES TO ADDRESS CONSTITUENT COMPLAINTS, IS VERY IMPRESSIVE. I DID NOT WANT TO ABSORB THAT COMFORT WITHOUT PASSING IT ON TO YOU BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY, I AM JUST A PROP IN THE ROOM. BUT, I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THE ATTENTIVENESS OF THIS COUNTY. AND I CAN ECHO THE SAME SENTIMENT.

I CAN BE ASKING A QUESTION, IN THIS MINUTE AND THEN THREE MINUTES FROM NOW, A SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT WILL BE WAITING FOR ME IN MY OFFICE, TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER. I EXPERIENCED THAT TODAY. I WAS TALKING TO TROY, AND IT WAS HORRIBLE BECAUSE I WAS LIKE, BUT WHY? WHY, WHY, WHY? AS I OFTEN DO. THEY ARE TIRED OF IT BUT WHY? HE'S LIKE, MA'AM, I DON'T KNOW WHY. BUT I DO KNOW WHO DOES KNOW WHY. I STEPPED OUT OF MY OFFICE FOR MAYBE TWO OR THREE MINUTES, AND THEN KAREN WAS WAITING FOR ME WHEN I GOT BACK.

TO ANSWER MY QUESTION. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THAT MEANS TO ME THAT MY QUESTIONS ARE GETTING ANSWERED. A SHOUT OUT TO CHARISSE, I SENT AN EMAIL AND WITHIN 30 SECONDS, I FEEL LIKE I GOT A RESPONSE.

IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE, IT REALLY DOES. AND IT HELPS US TO COMMUNICATE TO THOSE WHO ARE KNOCKING ON OUR DOORS, SENDING US TEXT MESSAGES MAKING PHONE CALLS, TAGGING US AND FACEBOOK POSTS. TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS QUICKLY. AND I APPRECIATE THAT, THANK YOU SO MUCH, THAT IS

ALL FOR ME. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I WILL PILE ON WITH THE FAIR BUT YOU KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THE FAIR IS ONLY 11 DAYS LONG.

WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THE FAIR, PARKING LOT, BATHROOMS, STATE ROAD 16.

WE BEEN WORKING ON THAT FOR 12 MONTHS SINCE THE LAST FAIR.

WE ALSO PRAY FOR GOOD WEATHER WHICH WE HAD FOR THE MOST PART.

BUT NONETHELESS, IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS AND BENEFIT TO LIVE IN CLAY COUNTY AND,

[01:05:08]

HE IS PROBABLY PRETTY BUSY RIGHT NOW. I'M GOING TO BRING SOMETHING TO EVERYONE'S ATTENTION. WE ARE, EMBARKED ON A MISSION TO LOOK AT CONSERVATION -- CONSERVING LAND WITHIN CLAY COUNTY.

WE HAVEN'T CONSERVATION PUBLIC MEETINGS IN EVERY DISTRICT.

WE HAD ONE I THINK EARLIER THIS WEEK IN KEYSTONE BUT, THE NEXT ONE IS THURSDAY, SIX PMA MIDDLEBURG LIBRARY. I WANT TO MAKE EVERYBODY AWARE THAT IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE REAL ENVIRONMENT, CONCERN ABOUT CONSERVING LAND AND DEVELOPMENT, WITHIN CLAY COUNTY, THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO VOICE YOUR OPINION AND SO, WE ARE HOLDING PUBLIC MEETINGS IN ALL THE DISTRICTS. PLEASE, COME OUT AND ATTEND ONE OF THOSE.

MR. BRIAN CAMPBELL IS HERE. I WANTED PUBLICLY THANK REPRESENTATIVE BEING FOR BEING HERE FOR THE VETERANS COUNCIL MEETING. IT WAS EXTREMELY WELL APPRECIATED AND WELL ATTENDED AND THE VETERANS REALLY THANK HIM FOR HIS CONCERN OF VETERAN ISSUES. WE TALKED ABOUT COLLEGE DRIVE INITIATIVE, HIDE POINT AND I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE GATEWAY TO CLAY.

WE ARE HAVING A UPDATE MEETING ON MONDAY. APRIL 24, AT THE COURTYARD AND ON WELLS ROAD NEXT TO HOLIDAY INN. THAT COMPLEX THERE.

BUT IT IS AT COURTYARD. SO, WE'RE DOING A LOT OF BIG THINGS BUT WE NEED INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY. AND SO, THAT'S WHERE YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO VOICE YOUR CONCERN ABOUT WELLS ROAD AND IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE ARE GOING TO DO THEIR OWN WELLS ROAD. WITH THAT, I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR THIS GREAT EFFICIENT MEETING TONIGHT. IT MUST'VE BEEN LEADERSHIP AS WELL.

[LAUGHTER] >> HUMBLE LEADERSHIP! [LAUGHTER]
