MIA IS ONE OF MANY PUPPIES WAITING FOR HER FOREVER HOME.

LETTY IS MIA'S SISTER. SHE'S ALSO WAITING FOR HER FOREVER HOME. WE THINK SHE WILL BE IN THE LARGER SIDE WHEN SHE'S FULLY GROWN.

LETTY IS NOT FULLY VACCINATED YET BUT SHE HAS STARTED WITH HER INITIAL ONES AND SHE'S MICROCHIPED.

OUR FIRST CAT TODAY IS ELI, SPADE FEMALE, DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR, THREE MONTHS OLD. ELI IS A BEAUTIFUL GIRL WITH UNIQUE COAT. SHE'S WHAT YOU CALL A TOREBY.

[Annual Audit Report (Zach Chalifour/James Moore & Co.)]

>> SHIFTING GEARS, WE HAVE ZACH CHALIFOUR, TO PRESENT THE AUDIT PERFORMED FOR THE CLERK OF THE COURT COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE.

. >> GOOD AFTERNOON.

GOOD EVENING, TECHNICALLY. AND PARTNER JAMES MOORE & COMPANY. WE ARE HERE TO REVIEW THE ANNUAL AUDIT FOR 2022-23 FISCAL YEAR. I WANT TO THANK THE BOARD FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR WORKING WITH THE COUNTY. BIG THANK YOU AS WELL TO THE

[00:15:01]

A BIG THANKS AS WELL TO THE OTHER CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS AND THEIR TEAMS. IT WAS A LOT OF WORK.

WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH JUST EVERYONE THAT WE WORKED WITH, KIND OF KNOWING THE TRANSITION YEAR IS ALWAYS HARD, ADDING WORKDAY. A LITTLE BIT OF A LATE START.

WE KNEW WE HAD A HEAVY LIFT IN ALL FRONTS IN ALL OF THE TEAMS AND EACH OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS TO WORK WITH.

WE WOULD LIKE A NORMAL YEAR NEXT YEAR.

NO CLERK, LOOKING AT MOVING THE TIME LINE UP, WHERE THIS YEAR, THE AUDIT WAS DONE IN THE DEADLINE, JUNE 30TH.

AND I KNOW NEXT YEAR, WE ARE LOOKING AT A COUPLE OF MONTHS, EXPANDING MORE OF THE REPORTING. AGAIN, IT WAS A GREAT FIRST YEAR. ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, WE MADE IT TO THE FINISH LINE. I WILL HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS, WOULD LIKE TO REPORT BACK ON, ANY QUESTIONS AS I GO, FEEL FREE TO JUMP IN AND, OF COURSE, IF THERE'S ANY IN THE END, WE CAN TOUCH ON THEM AS WELL. FIRST AND FOREMOST, LOOKING AT THE COUNTY WIDE AUDIT. THERE'S FIVE REPORTS, THAT SUMMARIZE THE RESULTS OF THE AUDIT

>> WHEREAS THE ACTUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, THEMSELVES, AND THERE'S THE FIVE REPORTS THAT REALLY SUMMARIZE THE RESULTS OF OUR AUDIT. THE FIRST REPORT IS THE AUDIT REPORT IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

WE DID ISSUE AN WHAT WE CALL AN UNMODIFIED OPINION.

IT SAYS THE FINANCIALS, AND REFLECTIVELY THE NUMBERS CAN BE RELIED UPON. THE REST OF THE REPORTS, REPRESENTS THE ACTUAL RESULTS, HOW WE DO.

AND WHAT ELSE, CAME OUT OF THE AUDIT.

SO THE SECOND REPORT IN HERE, WHAT WE CALL THE SINGLE AUDIT REPORT. THE COUNTY, AS PROBABLY IN THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS RUNNING, EXCEEDED THE THRESHOLD FOR THE SINGLE AUDIT AND STATE SINGLE AUDIT.

WE HAVE TO PERFORM A MINI AUDIT FOCUSED SOLELY ON COMPLIANCE OVER THE MAJOR FEDERAL GRANT PROGRAMS. AND AS WELL AS YOUR MAJOR STATE GRANT PROGRAMS. IN BOTH OF THE COMPLIANCE AUDIT, WE HAD NO FINDINGS IDENTIFIED TO NONCOMPLIANCE WITH THE MAJOR GRANT PROGRAMS. THE THIRD REPORT, WE ALSO PERFORMED THE AUDIT IN ACCORDANCE TO GOVERNMENT STANDARDS.

WE HAVE TO ISSUE A REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL.

AND NOT AN INTERNAL CONTROL AUDIT, WHERE WE'RE NOT AUDITING YOUR CONTROLS AND EXPRESSING OPINIONS ON THE CONTROLS.

WE HAVE TWO CONSIDERED, IN THE MAJOR, SUCH AS PAYROLL ACCOUNTS, PAYABLE, AND AS WE PERFORM THE TESTING IN THE FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS. IF WE COME ACROSS THE DEFICIENCIES IN THE DESIGN OR THE ACTUAL FUNCTIONING IN OUR TESTING, WE ARE TO REPORT IT HERE, AS WELL AS ANY COMPLIANCE ISSUES, DEBT REQUIREMENTS, BUDGET OR ANY GRANTS NOT TESTED, AS A MAJOR PROGRAM IN THE SINGLE AUDIT.

WE HAVE NO COMMENTS, NO MATERIAL WEAKNESSES, MATERIAL NONCOMPLIANCES, EFFECTIVELY ANOTHER CLEAN REPORT HERE.

THE 4TH REPORT, AUDIT GENERAL. IT'S A CATCH ALL IN ANY OTHER ITEMS THE STATE WANTS US TO REPORT BACK ON.

IT'S CENTERED AT FINANCIAL CONDITIONS.

IF THE COUNTY WERE TO HIT ANY NEGATIVE RED FLAGS RELATED TO FINANCIAL CONDITION, WE WOULD HAVE TO REPORT THOSE, EFFECTIVELY NOTIFY THE STATE. NO ISSUES THERE, AS WE GET TO THE COUNTIES IN A STRONG FINANCIAL POSITION.

THERE'S A CATCH ALL, FOR RECOMMENDATIONS WE IDENTIFY THAT ARE NECESSARILY INTERNAL CONTROL INEFFICENCY,S SOMETHING WE WANT TO COMMUNICATE TO YOU AS FAR AS GOVERNANCE.

WE WANT TO CATCH UP ON PRIOR YEARS COMMENT.

THERE WAS ONE COMMENT IN THE LAST YEAR'S AUDIT AND WE NOTED THAT. THE ONE OTHER COMMENT RELATED TO YOUR BUILDING PERMIT FUND. THERE WAS A NEW STATUTE 3-4 YEARS AGO, BASICALLY SET A LIMITATION ON WHAT YOUR CARRY FORWARD FUND BALANCE COULD BE IN THE FUND.

EFFECTIVELY, WE WERE NOTING THE FACT, THAT THAT WAS A LITTLE OVER. THE MAXIMUM LIMITATION, MAKE SURE THERE IS PLAN TO COME BACK WITH THE COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATUTE. IT'S TRICKY BECAUSE YOUR BUILDING DEPARTMENT ACTIVITY COULD FLUCTUATE.

IT'S NOT AS STABLE, WITH THE ACTIVITY.

THE REVENUES COULD GO WAY UP AND WAY DOWN, DEPENDING ON THE LEVEL

[00:20:03]

OF ACTIVITY. >> FINALLY, WE HAD TO LOOK AT COMPLIANCE, WITH INVEST ACTIVITY AND DID NOTE IN THE FINAL EXAMINATION REPORT THE COUNTY WAS WITH THE STATUTES.

THERE'S SIX AUDIT REPORTS THAT DO GET PRODUCE AND GO TO THE ROLLED UP AUDIT THAT GOES TO THE STATE.

YOU HAVE THE COUNTY WIDE AND THE FIVE CONSTITUTIONALS.

YOU HAVE A SUMMARY ON WHAT THE RUN DOWN OR TALLY ON THE COMMENTS ACROSS OTHERS. THERE'S A COMMENT, SHERIFF'S OFFICE, AND ONE RECOMMENDATION, AND JUST AREAS, HEY, THERE'S SOMETHING YOU COULD LOOK AT. HAVE A CHANGE OR DO THINGS A LITTLE BIT BETTER. THAT RELATED TO THE TIMING OR BUDGETARY PROCESS, OVER MAJOR EXPENDITURES, IN TERMS WHERE THEY PAY FOR THE INSURANCE PAYMENT, IN OCTOBER, HOW THAT'S HANDLED AND HOW THE FUNDING IS HANDLED TO INSURE THE OFFICE HAS THE MONEY TO MAKE THE PAYMENTS. NOT A CONCERNED DEFICIENCY, FORMERLY COMMUNICATED ON HOW TO ENHANCE AND IMPROVE THAT PROCESS. TO THE NUMBERS, BECAUSE THAT'S THE FUN PART. WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO, IS GIVE YOU A FOUR YEAR LOOK AT THE GENERAL FUND FUND BALANCE.

THIS IS ASSETS MINUS YOUR LIABILITIES.

A COUPLE OF MILLION, INCREASE FROM THE PRIOR YEAR.

THOSE DIFFERENT BUCKETS, WE HAVE 65 MILLION.

WHAT DOES THAT MAKE UP, ABILITY TO SPEND IT OTHERWISE.

AND TOP LINE, ABOUT A MILLION DOLLAR, AND THE THEORY, THAT CASH HAS GONE OUT THE DOOR FOR THE INVENTORY OR PREPAID INSURANCE PAYMENTS. THAT GETS BACKED OUT, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SPEND THAT ON SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

THE RESTRICTED AND COMMITTED, HISTORICALLY, BOTH OF THOSE HAVE BEEN ZERO MOST YEARS. GENERALLY SPEAKING, MOST ARE RESTRICTED DOLLARS, EXTERNAL RESTRICTIONS ON HOW TO USE THE MONEY OR ANYTHING COMMITTED, WHICH IS EFFECTIVELY RESTRICTED BY THE BOARD. THOSE ARE GENERALLY TRACKED SO YOU HAVE THE ACCOUNTABILITY, OVER THE USE OF THE DOLLARS.

THAT'S WHY THE NUMBERS ARE TYPICALLY ZERO IN THE GENERAL FUND. THE ASSIGNED AND UNASSIGNED, IS THE RESIDUAL FUND BALANCE. AND THAT 24 MILLION, IS ESSENTIALLY EARMARKED. NOW IT'S EARMARKED IN THE 2023 BUDGET AS AVAILABLE RESERVES FOR THE POTENTIAL SPENDING.

THE KEY, UNASSIGNED, BOTH REPRESENT UNRESTRICTED RESERVES, AVAILABLE, FOR ANY CONTINGENCIES, WHERE YOU LOOK AT THE TOTAL BALANCE, WHERE IT'S PUT IN PER SPECTTIVE.

AND IT'S ABOUT 44 1/2 PERCENT, LITTLE OVER 5 MONTHS IN RESERVE.

THERE'S NO HARD RULE ON WHAT THIS HAS TO BE.

ANY INTERNAL POLICIES, YOU GUYS ARE IN COMPLIANCE AND I THINK THE ONLY RECOMMENDATION FROM THE GOVERNMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION IS FOR GENERAL PURPOSE GOVERNMENT, A BARE MINIMUM, KEY BEING MINIMUM IN TWO MONTHS OF RESERVES.

THEY ACKNOWLEDGE DIFFERENT FACTORS SUCH AS BEING COAST SAL.

IN FLORIDA, I CONSIDER EVERYTHING COASTAL, HURRICANE AND THINGS LIKE THAT THOSE ARE REASONS TO LOOK AT HAVING THE NUMBER BEING HIGHER. WE'VE SEEN SIMILAR SIZE COUNTIES, ENTITIES, THAT MID PERIOD, HEALTHY AND BALANCED LEVEL RESERVED. THE GENERAL FUND, YOU ARE IN A STRONG POSITION, GOING INTO TIMES OF UNCERTAINTY FROM THE HE EXPENSE SIDE, BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THINGS WILL COST.

THE REST OF THE FISCAL YEAR, 24, THAT YOU WILL BE SETTING THE BUDGET HERE SLOWLY. AND SIMILAR TO THE FUND BALANCE, HAVE TO LOOK AT YOUR UNRESTRICTED POSITION, UNRESTRICTED RESERVE. THE KEY WE LOOK AT, YEAR OVER YEAR, IS THERE A TYPICALLY KIND OF, YOU KNOW, INFLATIONARY TYPE GROWTH AS YOUR REVENUES AND EXPENSES INCREASE WITH INFLATION AND GROWTH, DOES THE BOTTOM LINE NUMBER MOVE AS WELL.

IF THERE'S ANY CONTINUED DECREASES, IN TERMS OF WHAT YOU'RE CHARGING AND WHERE THE RATES ARE GOING FORWARD.

AS YOU COULD SEE, SMALL YEAR OVER YEAR INCREASES, EACH OF THE

[00:25:02]

NO ITEMS OF CONCERN THERE. ARPA FUND, $5 MILLION EXPENDITURE IN THE CURRENT YEAR. AND THE 35 MILLION REMAINING BALANCE SHOWS UP AS A LIABILITY FOR UNEARNED REVENUE IN THE YEAR COVID RELATED RANT FUND. AND NET PENSION ABILITYTIVITY, I'VE HAD IT IN THE BOOKS FOR 10 YEARS, I WOULD LIKE TO TOUCH IT IN THE RECORD, THAT NUMBER RELATES TO FLORIDA RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF RELIABILITY. AND EVERY MONTH THE BOARD MAKES THE REQUIRED CONTRIBUTIONS. YOU WON'T HAVE TO WRITE A CHECK FOR A COUPLE MILLION, WHATEVER THE NUMBER SH IT'S REALLY THERE FOR THEORETICAL PURPOSES. I WOULD LIKE TO TWHOET THAT FOR THE RECORD BECAUSE IT'S A LARGE NUMBER OF THE FIRST PAGE OF THE STATEMENT OF NET POSITION. WITH THAT, I WOULD BE MORE THAN

GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> ANY QUESTIONS?

>> DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE UNFUNDED RELIABILITY IS CURRENTLY.

>> YES. >> IT'S LOCATED IN THE STOCK

PRICE. >> AS OF JUNE 30TH, 2022, THE STOCK MARKET IN GENERAL IS A VERY BAD SPOT.

THE GENERAL LIABILITY, IS PRETTY MUCH QUADRUPLED FOR THE STABLE ENTITIES LOOKING AT CONSISTENT LEVELS OF PAYROLL.

THAT'S ABOUT $133 MILLION THAT SHOWS UP IN THE COUNTY COUNTY WIDE. I THINK LAST YEAR, IT WAS IN THE 30S OR 40S. IT REALLY FLUCTUATES.

WHERE WE SEE IT, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL GOTTEN THIS FAR INTO SOME OF THE DATA FOR THE BUDGET. WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR FRS CONTRIBUTION RATES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR, THAT WE ARE IN NOW, THAT WENT INTO EFFECT ON JULY 1ST, THE REGULAR CLASS IS 1 1/2 INCREASE. THAT'S KIND OF WHAT IT MEANS.

THE HIGHER THE NUMBER IS, THE MORE WE BRACE OURSELVES FOR THE RATE TO GO UP THE NEXT TIME AROUND.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.

WE APPRECIATE IT. >> THANK YOU ALL.

[CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS]

>> WE HAVE THREE OF THE FIVE CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS HERE.

WE HAVE OUR TAX COLLECTOR. >> SARAH GREEN.

>> I'M NOT A TAX COLLECTOR. >> SORRY.

WE HAVE THE CLERK OF THE COURT AND COMPTROLLER.

THERE'S PROBABLY DAYS. CLERK OF THE COURT.

WE HAVE THE CLERK OF THE COURT AND COME TROLLER, TARA GREEN.

>> NOTHING IN ADDITION TO THE AUDIT.

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT. WE HAVE THE TAX COLLECTOR DIANE HUTCHINS. DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING ASIDE FROM

WHAT WE HAVE IN OUR AGENDA. >> PROPERTY APRAISE FLARE, TRACY DRAKE AND WE HAVE SHERIFF'S -- IS THERE ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO BRING US?

>> NOTHING NEW. JUST TO ASSIST.

>> THINGS ARE QUIET IN THE ELECTION WOORLD.

>> AND I HAVE A COMMENT. I WAS GOING TO BRING IT UP TO -- I DON'T WANT TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THE PROPERTY RESORT.

VALUABLE IF 'HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION.

IT'S A COMPREHENSIVE TUTORIAL. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A COPY, I'M

AND. >> MOTION AND SECOND.

>> ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, INDICATE BY

[PUBLIC COMMENTS]

SAYING AYE? >> AYE.

>> THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES 5-0

>>> NEXT WE HAVE MOTION OF PUBLIC COMMENT.

EACH PERSON TO SPREEK ON. MIKE WALTERS, PLEASE COME ON UP.

. >> I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE LACHT WEEK. SORRY FOR NOT BEING HERE.

I DO SPEAK WELL UNDER PRESSURE. I NEED ONE FOR ME.

RECENTLY PURCHASED SOME PROPERTY, IN KESSON HEIGHTS, SUBDIVISION CALLED WONDERLAND. LAST WEEK I WAS MISREPRESENTED HERE. OR TWO WEEKS AGO.

I'M NOT A DEVELOPER. I'M NOT A BUILDER.

I'M JUST A LAND OWNER. YOU COULD LOOK AT YOUR PACKETS.

LET ME GET BACK TO TWO WEEKS AGO.

I WAS CRITICIZE OR FELT I WAS CRITICIZED, BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO PUT IN A ROAD. ANYTHING I ASKED THE COUNTY TO DO IS PROVIDE THE ENGINEERING. A STREET I DON'T.

YOU COULD SEE, WHEN PAGE. AND EVERY LOT IS SOLD AND OKAY FID. IT WAS ALSO 7 YEARS, THERE'S SOME UPSCALE STREETS TWO BLOCKS FROM SEAFOOD.

AND WOODLAND DRIVE ALON HAS 77. ALL THE.

AND IF YOU IF, IF YOU GO TO PAGE 2, THE SURVEY, WE HAVE PAID FOR MYSELF, THAT COST ME $5,000. I SPENT $20,000, HAVING THE ENTIRE RIGHT OF WAY CLEAR. YOUR RIGHT OF WAY, BUT I'M WILLING TO DO IT. I'M WILLING TO DO THIS.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE SURVEY, MY LOTS ARE LIKE 2, 3, 6, 7, 11 AND 14. THAT'S 7 LOTS.

THE LOTS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET, ALL BUFFER, WOODLAND DRIVE. I BELIEVE THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF THE SUBDIVISION, WAS PIEING GROCERY.

FOR SOME REASON, 1971, WHEN IT WAS DEVELOPED, THEY SAID, WHAT THE HELL? WE'RE GOING OFF WOODLAND DRIVE.

WHEN THE COUNTY ACCEPTED THE SUBDIVISION, THEY ACCEPTED THE STREET AND RIGHT OF WAYS. THEY ACCEPTED IT, THEY SIGNED OFF ON IT. IT'S A COUNTY STREET.

THE STREET WAS NEVER PUT IN. KEY STONE, WHEN I WENT THERE, 1973 WAS A JEWEL. EVERY BODY WANTED TO LIVE IN KEYSTONE HEIGHTS. KEYSTONE HAS SINCE WENT BACKWARDS, IN MY OPINION. IF YOU KEEP GOING, I'VE GOT THE AREA PHOTOGRAPHED SH WEBSITE, SAYING PINE GROVE STREET.

YOU HAVE THE LOTS I OWN ALSO HAVE 911 ADDRESSINGS THESE ARE NOT UNDEVELOPED LOTS. THESE ARE LOTS THAT ARE FLIEB.

I'M TRYING TO PUT MONEY IN YOUR POCKET.

[00:35:01]

ENGINEERING THEY WANTED. THAT WOULD BE ONE WITH THE PURPLE LINE ON IT. THAT'S FINE.

I WILL PAY FOR THAT. THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM.

IF YOU LOOK IT UP. AND I WAS ACCUSED OF GOING BEHIND THEIR BACK. YOU COULD CALL ME MS. OUTRAGE AND ASK YOU. THERE MAY BE SOME WAY TO --

>> YOU HAVE TO BE DONE BECAUSE YOUR THREE MINUTES ARE UP.

YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAY FOR THE SECOND PUBLIC COMMENT.

YOU GET THREE MINUTES. >> I ASKED TERESA TO PUT ME ON THE AGENDA. I'VE BEEN HERE TOO MANY TIMES.

>> WHEN IS THE NEXT ONE. >> THERE'S A SECOND PUBLIC COMMENT AT THE END OF THE AGENDA.

>> THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD

[CONSENT AGENDA]

>> WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND. >> ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION?

>>. >> I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT IN THE CONSENT IS THE APPROVAL OF THE WASTE MANAGEMENT DISPOSAL, C AND D, DISPOSAL CONTRACT. THIS WAS A DEBATED ITEM THAT WAS VOTED UPON ON THE COMMISSION. AND THE END RESULT IS, THREW THE DECISION OF THE COMMISSION AND ALSO SHARPENED NEGOTIATORS WITH CONTRACT TORE. IT RESULTED AND I WILL CLAIM A MILLION 7 SAVINGS FOR THE RESIDENT, IN CLAY COUNTY.

ANY NEGOTIATIONS, AND THE ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIPS FOR MY CONSTITUENTS, AS WELL AS AN ANNUAL SPONSORSHIP, FOR THE REGIONAL PARK, WHICH IS WHAT IT'S EARMARKED.

I THINK WE SAVED THE COUNTY, ANYWHERE FROM 1.1 TO 1.7 MILLION, DEPENDING ON HOW WE COUNT IT.

I WANT TO BRING IT TO EVERYBODY'S ATTENTION.

>> THAT'S FOR ITEM NUMBER 6 AND 7.

IF YOU'RE FOLLOWING ALONG ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

THE ONLY OTHER -- MR. THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS, ANYONE HAD? THE ONLY OTHER COMMENT, IS ITEM NUMBER 5 FOR THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR THE SHIP PRANL. I'M NOT REAL THRILLED.

CLAY COUNTY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY, SAID PUBLICLY, THELT NOT BUILD HOMES IN KEY STONE HEIGHTS.

KEY STONE HEIGHTS IS PART OF CLAY COUNTY.

I'M HOPING THEY WILL REVISIT THE POLICY DECISION.

WE HAVE BOTH OF THOSE, THAT'S BEING AWARDED THE CONTRACT THE AND OPERATION LIFELINE, THEY HAVE NO ISSUE WITH KEY STONE HEIGHTS. I DID WANT TO PUT THAT ON THE

RECORD AM. >> SEEING NONE, WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR INDICATE BY

[14.  Dirt Road Study (R. Smith/M. Moore)]

MOTION CARRIES 5-0. MOVING ALL THE WAY FORWARD TO THE DISCUSSION UP DATES. WE HAVE, WITH US MARTHA MOORE.

SHE'S COMPONENT TO TKO FOR OUR ROADS STUDY.

>> THIS IS YOU'RE MAGIC WAND; RI

[00:40:10]

RIGHT?. >> WE'RE CONSULTANT TO THE NORTH PART OF TPL. THIS PAST YEAR, WE PERFORMED THE, CLAY COUNTY. YOU HAVE HUNDREDS OF MILES, OF DIRT ROADS. OUR SCOPE OF SERVICES, WHERE WE ARE TO DEVELOP AN INVENTORY OF THE ROADS, LOOKING AT THE EXISTING CONTINUES. EVALUATION CRITERIA AND TO COME UP WITH A WAY TO PRIORITIZE THE ROADS.

WE FOCUSED ON THE COUNTY ROADS AND PRESCRIPTIONTIVE -- DIRT ROAD. THAT'S MY FAVORITE SUBJECT.

>> NOBODY LAUGHED AT YOU, EITHER.

. >> AND SO MY JOO TECHNICAL FELLOW ENGINEERS, THEY ARE UNPAVED ROADS.

NOT DIRT ROADS. ANYTHING THAT'S ASPHALT.

GOT THE HARD SURFACE. SO, AS I MENTIONED, WE REVIEWED OVER 450 MILES OF THE DIRT ROADS IN CLAY COUNTY.

A SCRIPTED TUR RIGHT OF WAY, HAS BEEN MAINTAINING THE ROAD FOR THE LENG THE OF TIME, SUCH AS YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN IT. DISCRYPTTIVE RIGHT OF WAY, IS THE WIDTH OF THE GREATER PLAYED. NOT ENOUGH TO PAVE THE WHOLE ROAD. WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE SHAPED FILES, AND GO AND VERIFY, WHAT'S THE RIGHT OF WAY.

IS THIS ROAD PUBLIC OR PRIVATE. WE ENDED WITH 49 SEGMENTS FOR EVALUATION. THE EVALUATION SEGMENTS, SUCH AS WHAT IS THE WIDTH OF THE RIGHT OF WAY.

WHAT IS THE OWNERSHIP OF THE RIGHT OF ROAD.

WHICH ROADS, SERVED THE COUNTY OR WHICH WOULD BE.

TO PAVE THE ROADS IS 60 LINEAR FEET.

THAT GIVES YOU ROOM FOR TWO LANES, ROOM FOR STABLE AND ALSO FOR DRAINAGE. YOU WILL SEE ON THE MAP.

MANY ARE THE OWNERSHIP, EVALUATION FOCUSED ON THE COUNTY OWN ROADS. AND 71 PERCENT, WITHIN DISTRICT 4. 27 PERCENT IN COMMISSIONER BURKS. FOR CUT THROUGH ROADS, THIS RELIED ON LOCAL KNOWLEDGE AND WE RELIED ON COUNTY STAFF.

ALSO THOSE ROADS THAT PEOPLE USED TO GET FROM POINT A TO POINT B. THEY GET A LOT MORE USE, THAN JUST PEOPLE WHO LIVED ON THEM. SOME OF THOSE WHO WERE IDENTIFIED, BUGGY TRAIL AND MELROSE ROAD, FOR INSTANCE.

WHEN IT CAME TO COMMUNITY ACCESS, IS THIS A ROAD THAT HAS A SCHOOL BUS ROUTE ON IT? SHOULD THEREFORE BE LOOKED AT AS A PRIORITY. SF THERE'S ACCESS, LIKE PUBLIC BOAT RAMP OR PUBLIC PARK. OR IF THERE'S A COUNTY COMMISSION, WHERE THE PITS OR THE SAND IS.

WE LOOK AT IMPACT TO HEALTH AND SAFETY.

DOES THE DIRT ROAD GET YOU TO THE HARD ROAD IN THE CASE WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY EVENT. PERCENT POVERTY, ROADS THAT ARE GREATER THAN 12 PERCENT. IF THEY WERE IN THE SENSE OF STRIKE, WE ARE GIVEN A GREATER PRIORITY AS WELL.

THE ROADS WHERE WE CONSIDER A VULNERABLE POPULATION, THOSE ARE WHAT YOU SEE IN THE ORANGE COLOR AND DARK RED.

FOR MAINTENANCE COST, COUNTY MAINTAINS ROAD 13 TIMES A YEAR, THAT'S BASED ON A 13 WEEK SCHEDULE.

[00:45:01]

YOU MAY BE A LONG WAY THROUGH THE PIT.

THE ROADS HAVE A PRIORITY NUMBER OF POINTS, SO THEY CAN BE PAVED SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. OUR EVENT WALL SCHOOLING NETWORK LOOKS LIKE THIS. AS I MENTIONED, 849 LINES LONG, MULTIPLE COLUMNS THAT COULD BE FILTERED AND SORTED, SO WE CAN LOOK AT VARIOUS ASPECTS IN EACH OF THE ROAD.

IN THE HIGH SCHOOLING ROADS, SOME OF WHICH ARE LISTED HERE.

YOU STILL NEED TO ACQUIRE RIGHT OF WAY.

WE INCLUDED THOSE IN THERE, IT GIVES THE COUNTY THE ABILITY, THIS IS A ROAD WE MAY WANT TO PAVE AND LOOK AND SEE WHAT MAY BE REQUIRED, TO GET THE RIGHT OF WAY.

THE HIGHEST, KING STREET AND SUN GARDEN ROAD.

ALL ROADS ARE NOT EQUAL WHEN IT COMES TO PAVING.

WHAT YOU WANT IS TO HAVE 60 FEET OF RIGHT OF WAY.

YOU WANT THE ROAD TO BE CENTERED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RIGHT OF WAY. NOT HAVE ANY OBSTRUCTIONS LIKE TREES ON YOUR WAY. HAVE GOOD DRAINAGE OR BRIDGES THAT YOU HAVE TO REPLACE OR COVERT.

WHAT THE STUDY DOES AND WHAT THE SPREADSHEET COULD DEVELOP, SOME ROADS THAT COULD BE PAVED TWO YEARS, AND STAFFER COULD BE BASING THE ROADS, IF THERE'S ROADS COULD, AND COUNTY STAFF COULD DO IT AT A CHEAPER NUMBER. IT GIVES YOU A ROAD MAP THAT YOU COULD LOOK AT THE, POTENTIALLY WHERE THERE'S POVERTY, YOU COULD IDENTIFIED THE ROADS, GET SOME CBGB FUNDS TO GET IT PAVED.

IT GIVES YOU THE TOOL. ALL THE INFORMATION IS IN ONE PLACE AND YOU COULD TAKE THAT AND MOVE FORWARD TO PRIORITIZE YUR ROADS. AND I'M MARTHA MOORE.

THAT'S MY CONTACT INFORMATION. WE WERE DOING THE STUDY, AND I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. .

>> I KNOW IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.

DID YOU DO AN ASSESSMENT AS TO WHAT IT WOULD COST TO PAVE THE

DIRT ROADS. >> WE DIDN'T DO A COST ESTIMATE.

ONE THING WE DISCUSSED WHEN LOOKING AT THE COST.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE AVERAGE NUMBER PER MILE, THAT WILL MISS A NUMBER OF THINGS. EACH ROAD IS PRETTY INDIVIDUAL, LOOKING WHERE THE BRIDGES ARE AND WHAT THE ASPECTS OF IT.

AND WE DIDN'T DO AN OVERALL ESTIMATE.

. >> YOU PAVED ONE ROAD THIS YEAR.

IT IS ROSEMARY STREET IN MIDDLEBERG.

IT WAS $800,000 FOR A MILE. LAST NIGHT WE HAD AN MSU MEETING IN THE DISTRICT. THEY INQUIRED ON WHAT IT WOULD COST TO PAVE IT. THERE'S A RESIDENTS THAT WORKS FOR AN EXTERNAL PAVING COMPANY. HE SAID, IF THE COUNTY IS GETTING $800,000 A MILE, WE'RE GETTING A STEAL OF A DEAL BECAUSE YOU SHOULD PROBABLY COUNT ON $1.2.

>> YEAH, THAT WAS THE ROUGH THUMB NAIL, A MILLION A MILE FOR DIRT ROADS. AS MARTHA INDICATED, EACH ROAD HAS ITS OWN PROBLEMS. COULD WE GO BACK, HIGH SCORING, YOU HAD SOME THAT WERE AS FERRIS BEING AND I DIDN'T CATCH WHAT

THAT MEANT. >> THOSE THAT SCORED HIGHEST.

>> OF THOSE YOU ARE DISPLAYING. >> THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT SCORED HIGHEST. KEYSTONE HEIGHTS AND MIDDLEBERG.

>> SPRING LAKE ROAD IS A CUT THOUGH ROAD.

IT'S PARTIALLY PAVED. THE COUNTY PAVED SOME.

REST OF IT CUTS THROUGH WHITE SANDS ROAD AND COUNTY ROAD 352.

KINGS STREET GOES TO THE BOAT RAMP IN LAKE BROOKLYN IN KEYSTONE HEIGHTS. SUN GARDEN IN YOUR DISTRICT,

[00:50:04]

I THINK IT GOES TO BELLAMY. IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED A CUT THROUGH FOR EVACUATION, IF I'M RECALLING THE RIGHT ROAD AND I THINK IT DOES CONNECT ALL THE WAY SOUTH.

>> RECOGNIZE ANY OF THOSE FOR ME.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? .

>> I HAVE A QUESTION. SO I THINK I HEARD RICHARD SAID BEFORE, IF SHED ROAD WAS NOT SCRIPTIVE, IT WOULD HAVE SCORED HIGHER. DOES THAT GO INTO THE

CALCULATION? >> YOU GET MORE POINTS, YES BECAUSE THE COUNTY WOULD HAVE TO REQUIRE THE SCRIPTIVE AS WELL.

>> OKAY, THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

THANK YOU, MARTHA. >> THANK YOU.

[15.  Gun Range Road Name (D.Hane/L. Christmas)]

>> NEXT UP, ITEM NUMBER 15, FOR THE GUN RANGE ROAD NAME.

>> GOOD EVENING.. >> I'M LAURA CHRISTMAS, I'M THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS. TODAY I WILL TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE PROCESS WE CONDUCTED IN ORDER TO ALLOW OUR COMMUNITY BY YOUR DIRECTION TO VOTE ON THE NEW ROAD TO THE NEW GUN RANGE.

SO SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, STAFF, MYSELF INCLUDED, SEVERAL ACM'S AND DIRECTORS, OTHER STAFF MEMBERS GOT TOGETHER, TO DETERMINE THE ROAD NAME, DIRECTORS WHO MADE AN IMPACT, OR WHO WERE MEMORABLE, IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY'VE DONE FOR THE COMMUNITY BUT NOT JUST OUR COMMUNITY, BUT SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. AND WE DECIDED THE NAMES AND THEN WE PUT IT OUT TO THE VOTE INTERNALLY.

WE RELEASED ON SOCIAL MEDIA, FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM.

IT'S BEEN RUNNED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE MEDIA HAS RAN IT AND PUT IT OUT TO THE COMMUNITY. IT GOT QUITE A BIT OF FEEDBACK.

SEVERAL RESPONSES, MOSTLY ABOUT 4,000 RESPONSES.

SO WE'VE HAD QUITE AN IMPACT IN TERMS OF THE VOTE AND WE'RE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE WINNER OF THE ROAD NAME BY THE COMMUNITY THIS EVENING. I WILL TURN IT OVER NOW TO DEAN HANE. .

>> GOOD AFTERNOON, COMMISSIONERS, DEAN HAN, CLAY COUNTY MIS. WE WERE INSTRUMENTAL TO GETTING THE SURVEY. WE PUT, ALL OF LAURA'S WORK AND PUT IT TOGETHER IN THE COMMUNITY SURVEY ON FORMS THAT SHE DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AND WEBSITE. JUST FOR SOME CLARITY, WE HAVE PLENTY OF RESPONSES BACK. WE HAD FOUR NAMES FOR EACH, FOUR OPTIONS AND WE HAD A FIFTH OPTION, WHERE THE PUBLIC COULD WRITE THEIR OWN CHOICE IN. THE TOTAL RESPONSES, 3,766 RESPONSES OVER A PERIOD FROM JULY 5TH, TO 8:00 A.M., TO JULY 24TH AT 4:30 A.M. THIS IS JUST UNDER THREE WEEKS, UNDER 4,000 RESPONSES. THE SELECTION WITH THE MOST VOTES IS SERGEANT BRADLEY CROFT, WITH 1450 VOTES.

AND THE NEXT SELECTION WAS JENNINGS MARTY, WITH 1,005 VOTES. THE NEXT SELECTION WAS THE OTHER CATEGORY WHICH IS A NUMBER OF INDIVIDUAL REQUEST OFFERINGS, SUGGESTIONS. IN THAT OTHER CATEGORY, HOWEVER, WE NOTICED A PRETTY STRONG TREND FOR REGULAR GUY, DETECTIVE DAVID WHITE FROM THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. IT STILL WASN'T NEARLY AS MUCH AS THE OTHER VOTES, I SUP POTION HERE.

IT'S AN INTERESTING TREND TO SEE.

AND THE NEXT COUNT, THE NEXT HIGHEST COUNT WAS FOR BEEZLER, FOR SHERIFF BEESLER FOR 412 AND THE LOWEST AMOUNT OF VOTES WAS

[00:55:06]

WE TRIED TO CONSTRUCT FOR EVERYBODY TO USE EASILY.

I THINK WE DID ACCOMPLISH THAT. WE HAD A TIME FRAME HERE.

I TRUST WHAT WE HAVE HERE. AND SO THE RESULTS WERE JUST PRESENTING FOR YOU TONIGHT. FOR SOME FEEDBACK, IF YOU WOULD LIKE US TO CONTINUE ON THE ROAD HERE OF EXECUTION, WHAT WE WOULD LIKE, TO BRING YOU BACK A RESOLUTION FOR THE ROAD NAME.

OTHERWISE, WE'RE AT YOUR DISCRETION.

WE'RE HERE REPORTING THE RESULTS AT THE MOMENT.

>> THERE WAS A TIME FRAME NEEDED FOR THE NAME WASN'T THERE? THERE WAS A REASON FOR THE ESSENCE.

>> FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS, WE NEED ADD PERMANENT ADDRESS.

WHEN WE SAY WE, I WILL SAY THE G.I.S. TEAM AND THE DRAEGING DEPARTMENT. THIS IS A GUN RANGE.

THERE'S SOME SAFETY CONCERNS. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A LOCATABLE ADDRESS FOR PUBLIC SAFETY.

>> THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. >> SO IF YOU'RE HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS, WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO COME BACK AT THE NEXT BOARD MEETING WITH A RESOLUTION. IF YOU WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT OR GIVE US ANOTHER DIRECTION, WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO LOOK AT THE

DIRECTION AS WELL. >> QUESTIONS?

COMMISSIONER BURKE? >> WHEN YOU DO THAT, WOULD HIS FAMILY COME HERE? DOES HE HAVE FAMILY HERE?

>> I MIGHT HAVE TO DEFER THAT TO MS. CHRISTMAS.

I THINK SHE HAD DISCUSSION WITH THE FAMILY AND THAT PROCESS.

WE'RE STRICTLY THE MECHANICS OF ADDRESSING.

>> YES, COMMISSIONER BURKE, IN ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION, WE HAVE BEEN CONTACT WITH THE FAMILIES PRIOR TO PUTTING IT OUT.

IN REGARDS TO SERGEANT BRADLEY, HIS MOTHER WAS DELIGHTED WE WOULD HONOR HIS SON. I'M SURE THEY WOULD BE THRILLED

TO BE PART OF THIS DECISION. >> ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS?

COMMISSIONER SALAS? >> I WOULD THINK, IN ADDITION TO THE -- IF THAT'S THE WAY THE BOARD DECIDES TO MOVE, HONOR THEM AT THE RIBBON CUTTING. I THINK IT'S PRETTY CLEAR, WE CAN PUT IT OUT OF THE PUBLIC. THAT'S PART OF THE BARGAIN WITH THE PUBLIC, LET YOU ZIS, TO LET YOU, WHO THE ROAD ENTERING THE GUN RANGE WILL BE. IT CERTAINLY, LOOKS LIKE IT'S SERGEANT CROSS, IF THERE'S PRONOUNCED RIGHT.

MY THOUGHT, WE MOVE FORWARD, ORANGE PARK HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE, MILITARY HERO. THAT'S WHAT OUR COMMUNITY IS ALL ABOUT. WE JUST HONORED A NUMBER OF THOSE FOLKS. IF YOU WOULD WANT TO CONSIDER THAT A MOTION, WE'LL CONSIDER THAT A MOTION.

. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK,

LAURA. >> ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

>> I HAVE ONE COMMENT AND TO GET 4,000 RESPONSES WAS A REAL FEAT.

I WANT TO COMPLIMENT YOU AND THE WHOLE TEAM.

>> AND I MIGHT ADD, 4,000 PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW CORRECTIONS.

THERE WERE MORE COMMENTS THAN THAT.

>> WE TRY. >> AND MANY, MANY PEOPLE VOTED ON COMMENT. THAT'S NOT HOW THE VOTE.

>> WE TRIED TO CATCH AS MANY AS POSSIBLE AND DIRECT THEM TO THE LINK. I AM ALWAYS PLEASED TO HEAR THE RESPONSE. I APPRECIATE THE COMPLIMENT.

>> DO WE HAVE A SECOND. >> ONLY COMMENT, SHERIFF MARIE, WHO GOT THE SECOND NUMBER OF VOTE, A CONSTITUENT OF MINE, LONG TIME RES DEBT, DISTRICT 4. IF THERE'S ANY OTHER A TIME TO HONOR, AND HIS CONTRIBUTION, HE WAS A SHERIFF FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS. LEADING FROM THE 70S, AND GAVE HIS LIFE FOR CLAY COUNTY. HE WAS A COUNTY COMMISSIONERICS AS WELL. I AGREE.

[01:00:06]

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION. ALL IN FAVOR, INDICATE BY SAYING

AYE. >> AYE.

>> AND MOTION CARRIES, 5-0. >> IF YOU WANT TO BRING US BACK THE RESOLUTION, WE WILL REVISIT IT BACK IN AUGUST.

[16.  Public Hearing on Ordinance and Resolution to Amend the Capital Improvement Plan, and, FY22/23 Post-Audit True-Up (R. Kantor)]

. >> WE'LL MOVE RIGHT INTO THOSE.

THE FIRST ONE IS THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING, ON ORDINANCE TO

AMEND THE CAPITOL IMPROVE PLAN. >> I'M THE BUDGET MANAGER.

THIS IS THE BUDGET TRUE UP, THE BEGINNING FUND BALANCES AND ALL THE FUNDS IN THE COUNTY. WITHIN THE ADJUSTMENTS AND ADDITIONS, AND FEW ADJUSTMENTS AFFECTING THE CRP AND WE HAVE $58,859 AD, AND NIGHT BOX PROJECT FOR AN INVOICE. RECOGNITION OF $104,000.

CONTRIBUTION FOR CCUA. AND BONDED ROAD PROJECT COUNTY ROAD 315 BETWEEN MARYLAND AND 217.

ADJUSTMENTS FOR EXISTING IMPACT FEAT PROJECTIONS AND TIMING CHANGES TO TWO CAPITOL PROJECTS, MEANING SOME BUDGET, THIS YEAR IS BETTER PLACE NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET, BASED ON TIMING.

SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH A SUMMATION ON WHAT I'M DOING.

>> OKAY. QUESTIONS? OKAY.

SEEING NONE, I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, PLEASE COME FORWARD.

SEEING NONE, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND I'LL BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD. COULD WE VOTE ON ITEMS AB AND C TOGETHER, COURTNEY? .

>> I WOULD DO A SEPARATE, BECAUSE THIS IS AN ORDINANCE.

>> I WOULD ENTERTAIN THE MOTION FOR THE ORDINANCE AND I WOULD

REVISIT THE OTHER TWO. >> I'LL MOVE APPROVAL OF THE ORDINANCE, AMENDING THE CAPITOL APPROVAL OF THE CAPITOL

IMPROVEMENT PLAN. >> SECOND THAT.

. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING AYE. AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES 5-0.

AND ENTERTAIN A MOTION OF THE RESOLUTION, IPN FORCING OF THE CRP AND ALSO OF THE BUDGET TRUUPS.

>>ND A WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

[17.  Final Public Hearing to consider the CDBG Annual Action Plan for FY 2023-24 (M. Mosley)]

>>> NEXT, WE WILL MOVE TO THE FINAL HEARING, TO CONSIDER THE

2023-24. >> MEGAN MOSELEY WITH THE GRANT POSITION. AND TODAY, WE'RE ASKING FOR CDBF ANNUAL ACTION PLAN. IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION, THERE WAS A DISCREP ANTSY FOR THE HOME REHAB BORINGS OF THE PLAN AND ONE PLACE INDICATES, 12 HOPE, AND 10 IS THE NMENT WE SEEN WITH HUD. AND WITH REGARDS TO THE PROCESS ITSELF, WE FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES IN OUR CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN. WE MADE THE PLAN AVAILABLE FOR A 30 DAY PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD. THIS ALLOWED THE PUBLIC TO ATTEND THREE PUBLIC MEETINGS. WE HAVE THE TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS.

ALSO COMMENTED COMMENTS, E-MAIL, PHONE, INPERSON.

STAFF WAS ABLE TO INDICATE WITH THE PUBLIC, ABOUT THE BUDGET AND PROPOSALS FOR NEXT YEAR'S PLAN. WE RECEIVED A TOTAL OF 13 FORMAL RESPONSES. BASICALLY, THE OUTCOME OF THE PUBLIC RANKED, PRIORITY RANKED BUDGETED CATEGORIES, IN ACCORDANCE FROM THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL FROM STAFF.

THE BUDGET YOU SEE TONIGHT IN THE ACTION PLAN, IS WHAT WAS BROUGHT TO THE BOARD BACK IN JUNE.

SO THAT PUTS PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE AS THE LARGEST FUNDING ACTIVITY AT 523,450, FOLLOWED BY THE HOUSING REHAB AT 350,000. CODE ENFORCEMENT, 50,000 AND

[01:05:03]

THAT BRINGS US TO THE TOTAL. >> I WAS GOING TO ASK ABOUT THAT. THAT DIDN'T EXACTLY ALIGNED.

YOU SAID THE PUBLIC COMMENT ALIGNED WITH STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION FOR FUNDING. THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TWICE AS MUCH GOING TO ADMINISTRATION VIA CODE

ENFORCEMENT FUNDING. >> AT THE PUBLIC COMMENT HEARINGS, WE ASKED THE PUBLIC TO RANK, WHAT ACTIVITY DO YOU VIEW AS MOST IMPORTANT TO FUND TO THE LEAST IMPORTANT.

WE'RE REALLY LOOKING AT THE CATEGORIES, THE ACTIVITIES THEMSELVES, THE HOUSING REHAB, PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE CODE ENFORCEMENT, IS WHAT WE COLLECTED PUBLIC RESPONSE ON.

ADD MIN, WE ARE EXPECTED TO TAKE ON 20 PERCENT.

WE RECOMMENDED UNDER 10 PERCENT. THAT IS WHAT GOT US TO THE

97,000. >> IT'S FRUSTRATING BECAUSE WE JUST DISCUSSED HOW CODE ENFORCEMENT, WE FEEL LIKE CODE ENFORCEMENT IS A LITTLE BIT LIGHT.

IT SEEMS TO ME, IT'S NOT AS IMBALANCED.

I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE TO ADMINISTRATOR THE GRANT AND THAT

TAKES MONEY. >> OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

>> I'LL MOVE APPROVAL. >> HOLD ON.

>> PUBLIC HEARING. >> PUBLIC HEARING.

. >> I'M GOING TO PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE THAT WANT TO SPEAK ON THE CDBG PROPOSED PLAN? OUR FINAL PUBLIC HEARING ON IT? SEEING NONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING IT BACK

TO COMMISSIONER. >> I MIGHT ADD, THIS IS THE LAST PUBLIC HEARING. WE HELD PUBLIC HEARINGS ON KEYSTONE, PLUMBING ISLAND. I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE APPROVAL OF THE PLAN WITH THE CORRECTION OF 10 HOMES TO BE REHABBED AS NONSEEDED THERE. .

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

. >> MADAM CHAIR, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A SECOND. I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS, IF IT'S UP TO US IN TERMS OF ADOPTING THE CATEGORIES, IN TIRMENTS OF THE DOLLAR AMOUNT. IF YOU'RE UNHAPPY WITH THE CODE ENFORCEMENT AND WE DID TALK ABOUT THE CODE ENFORCEMENT IN MANY AREAS. CODE ENFORCEMENT WILL BE THE FIRST THING THAT ACTUALLY GOES IN SORT OF HITS THE BEACH AND DOES THE CLEANUP. I MEAN, MEGAN, IF WE DON'T TAKE AWAY FROM PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION, I THINK 10 PERCENT IS A BARGAIN IN TERMS OF MOST GRANTS REQUIRE OR ACTUALLY ALLOWED. IS THERE SOMETHING ELSE THAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO TAKE SOME OF THAT, AND ADD IT TO -- GET -- I'M NOT SURE HOW FAR THAT GOES. THIS IS THE TIME TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT, IF WE THINK WE NEED MORE HELP IN THE AREA.

>> WE HAVE SOME UNUSED FUNDS FROM LAST YEAR.

WE WILL BE COMING BACK TO THE BOARD LATER IN THE FALL TO REPROGRAM THE FUNDS. THAT'S ANOTHER PUBLIC COMMENT.

>> AND THOSE ARE THE MONEY, AND WE --

>> I THINK THAT'S A BETTER. >> I WAS UNAWARE OF THE ADDITIONAL FUNDS. I WOULD CERTAINLY SUPPORT THAT

IDEA. >> TO YOUR POINT, WHERE DO YOU TAKE IT AWAY? WE WANT TO ASSIST TEN HOMES.

WE DON'T WANT TO TAKE AWAY FROM THAT.

THE SIDEWALKS NEEDS REPAIRS. I THOUGHT WE DID SIDEWALKS LAST

YEAR? >> WE DID.

WE HAD TO BREAK ONE IN TWO. >> AND ALSO FROM THE ULI, THE TWO ULI STUDIES, MAYBE THREE BY THE TIME THIS NEEDS TO BE PLANNED FOR NEXT YEAR. I WOULD IMAGINE, OUT OF THAT, MAY COME SOME SPECIFICED TARGETED C.D.B.G. PROJECTS.

AND I'M COMFORTABLE. WE DIDN'T BRING UP CODE ENFORCEMENT BEFORE THIS WAS WRITTEN.

AND 10 PERCENT, BASED ON WHAT THE FIRST COMPANY CHARGED US, IS

A BARGAIN. >> LET ME MAKE A COMMENT.

I THINK CLARIFYING MY OWN MIND. WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ENFORCEMENT, WE TALK ABOUT CLEAN UP.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PROGRAM, SYSTEMIC ISSUES WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT. IDENTIFICATION, NOTIFICATION,

[01:10:04]

THE THINGS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, IS NOT CLEAN UP.

CLEANING UP THEIR CODE AND ENFORCEMENT VIOLATIONS.

THIS IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT, CLEAN UP AND NOT JUST

IDENTIFICATION. >> WE'RE TRYING TO PREVENT THEM

FROM A LIEN ON THEIR PROPERTY. >> WE CAN'T USE PUBLIC MONEY TO CLEAN UP PRIVATE PROPERTY. .

>> WE HAVE USED. >> YOU'RE CORRECT, MONEY IS USED FOR CLEANING UP VIOLATIONS. THE PIVOT AND ITS STAFF IS RECOMMENDED IN THE NEW ACTION PLAN, IS TO DO, AND I DIDN'T RECEIVE, WANTING THEM TO HELP THEM GET.

CHERISE. REACH OUT TO US MUCH WREF MUCH.

AND THEY'VE BEEN NONRESPONSIVE FOR IF.

WE'LL TAKE THE DUMPSTERS OUT AND ENCOURAGE THOSE AREAS TO SELF CLEAN THEIR AREAS AND MAKE IT MORE OF A COMMUNITY EFFORT.

I THINK THE CONVERSATION THAT MEGAN HAD IF WE SEE IT SUCCESSFUL, WE WILL REPROGRAM THE FUTURE MONEY, MONEY FOR THIS YOOR, WHEN WE'RE DONE, TO MORE OF THE CLEANUPS.

. >> AND THEY HAVE PITCHED IN

MONEY. >> AND WE ACTUALLY REIMBURSED.

WE CAN'T USE THE FUND FOR THOSE KINDS OF EFFORT.

WE PAY FOR THE DUMPSTERS, PAY FOR THEIR TIME AND EFFORT, SO

IT'S EQUITABLE. >> SOME OF THE ILLEGAL DUMPING, THAT'S -- ENDS -- ARE WE UP TWO? 15 23407BS WE'VE PICKED UP.

TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA. >> SHE'S RIGHT THERE IN THE NICK OF TIME. HER EARS WERE BURNING.

. >> MOTION AND SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, IND SKATE BY SAYING AYE.

[18.  Final Public Hearing to consider ZON-0523-00010. (District 5, Comm. Burke) (M. Brown)]

ITEM NUMBER 18 WAS WITHDRAWN. WE WILL NOT BE HEARING.

THAT WAS WITHDRAWN BY THE APPL APPLICANT. ITEMS NUMBER 19 AND 20, ITEMS FOR REZONING, WHICH ARE THE REZONING OF CHANGE TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE FOR BOAT STORAGE AND MARINAS OR THE PRIVATE SERVICES, CHANGE INDEFINITION.

IF YOU WOULD THINK YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, WE WOULD ASK THAT YOU WOULD STAND SO OUR CLERK COULD SWEAR YOU IN.

OTHERWISE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SPEAK ON THE ITEM.

IF ANYONE IS ABLE TO SPEAK, I HAVE ONE CARD.

AND IF YOU WILL STAND AND ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON

THE TWO PUBLIC HEARING. >> DO YOU.

[19.  Final Public Hearing to consider ZON-0623-00013 (M. Brown)]

>> ITEM NUMBER 19, THIS IS THE FINAL PUBLIC HEARING, TO CONSIDER THE ZONING CHANGE, 0623-00013, MR. BROWN?

>> MADAM, MIKE BROWN, ZONING CHIEF.

THIS IS A PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE WHICH RELATEINGS THE CONDITIONAL USE FOR BOAT AND RV STORAGE.

WHAT THIS CHANGE ENTAILS WOULD BE PRESENTLY UNDER THE CODE, RV STORAGE, REQUIRING A MINIMUM OF THREE ACRES.

[01:15:04]

ONE THE BOAT STORAGE, FACILITY, WOULD BE THE SAME OWNER OF THE MARINA. AND IT WOULD ALLOW THE STORAGE OF TRAILERED BOATS AT THE SITE. STAFF STANDS BY THE ORIGINAL RECOMMENDATION OF THE APPROVAL WHICH DIDN'T INCLUDE THE TWO ITEMS. IF THE MARINA OWNER OWNS IT, IT WOULD BE PART OF THE ARENA. THE STORAGE OF TRAILERED BOATS ONLY REQUIRED BY THE PLANTING COMMISSION, THEIR CONCERN THE STACKING OF BOATS OF STORAGE, STORAGE OF BOATS.

WE HAVE NOT SEEN THAT AS AN ISSUE IN ANY OF THE EXISTING RV AND BOAT STORAGE. SO STAFF, UNDERSTANDS WHY THEY MADE THE RECOMMENDATION. WE DON'T SEE IT AS A REAL PROBLEM. WE DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THE CHANGE TO THE CODE.

WITH THAT, STAFF RECOMMENDS SUPPORT AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS FOR MIKE.

>> IS THE APPLICANT HERE? >> NO, THIS IS THE STAFF INITIATED. STAFF MADE THIS.

>> SOMEONE IS COMING REQUESTING IT.

>> THERE WAS, THERE WAS A PROJECT THAT WAS THE REASON, THAT STAFF RAN INTO AN ISSUE. IT'S A REASON, THAT STAFF CAME TO OUR RECOGNITION THAT IT MAY NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED.

WE DECIDED TO ADDRESS IT. >> ARE YOU NOT ABLE TO TELL WHAT

THAT IS. >> IT'S ACTUALLY THE MARINA, 17 UP DOWN THE STREET. THERE'S A PROPERTY ADJACENT TO IT. PART OF THE HISTORY OF THAT, THE PARCEL ADJACENT CAME IN PRIOR TO THE CHANGE OF THE CODE.

THERE WAS, TO THE CODE, THAT ADDED THAT THREE ACRES REQUIREMENT. THEY HAD COME IN, DIFFERENT OWNER. GOT APPROVAL OF THE PROMENT THINK DLGD DO OF -- THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

THE NEW OWNER TRIED TO GET, SITE APPROVAL.

THE CHANGE OF THE CODE PREVENTED THAT.

THAT WAS RECOGNITION TO STAFF. WE THOUGHT ABOUT IT.

IT MAKES LARGER SENSE. THERE MAY BE MORE OPPORTUNITIES WITH THE COUNTY, EITHER COUNTY OWNED OR PRIVATELY OWNED MARINAS, THAT HAD BOAT RAMPS WHERE THIS COULD BE HELPFUL.

>> IS IT TRUE THAT THE COUNTY TRIED TO PURCHASE THAT.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA. >> BECAUSE, OF COURSE, MORE PARKING IS DEFINITELY NEEDED. YOU WERE TALKIN ABOUT NO DRY STORAGE. .

[01:20:06]

>> SOME OF THE MARINAS, EXISTING MARINAS HAVE SOME WE HAVE NOT RUN INTO ANY OF THEM STACKING BOATS FOR STORAGE.

WE CAN PROBABLY SAY, IT WOULD BE UNLIKELY, THEY CAN NOT BUILD IT THERE. HOWEVER, WE CAN NEVER SAY NEVER.

AND BRINGING A LIFT IN THE PARKING LOT WOULD BE VERY UNSAFE. I THINK WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH THAT. I DO THINK OF OTHER IN THE CREEK WHERE IT COULD HAPPEN, WHERE THERE'S RESIDENTS RIGHT THERE.

THE SAME REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE IN PLACE, WILL STILL REMAIN.

THEY WOULD HAVE TO MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTINGS.

WE'RE NOT PROPOSING ANY CHANGES TO THOSE.

>> THEY WOULD BE HAVE LIGHTS. >>ND NOW I'M THINKING ABOUT THE AREA AS YOU GO BACK TO THE BOAT RAMP, PARKING LOT.

THERE'S HOMES, REALLY NICE HOMES, PAST THAT, I SPOKE TO THE PEECHL RECENTLY. THEY ARE ADJACENT.

THEY CAN PROBABLY TEAR DOWN THE HOUSE.

>> IF IT WAS ZONED APPROPRIATELY, AND IT WOULD ALLOW THAT FOR CONDITIONAL USE. IT'S ONLY REQUIRED AS A CONDITIONAL USE WITHIN CERTAIN DISTRICTS.

>> WE'RE OPENING A CAN OF WORM. >> AND, AGAIN, THEY HAVE TO

QUESTION. >> NOW SO, THE BOARD WILL HAVE, SAY AT LEAST TO THE ZONING, ONCE THE ZONING WAS APPROVED OR IF IT WAS APPROVED. ANY OF THE USES ARE CONDITIONAL,

COULD HAPPEN ON THE PROPERTY. >> THAT WOULD BE HARD TO SAY TO

THEM. >> AND CONDITIONAL USE DOESN'T

SAY TO YOU. >> AND IT WOULD BE HARD FOR YOU

TO SAY NO. >> IF THEY MEET ALL THE CONDITIONS, THAT ARE LISTED FOR THE CONDITIONAL USE, WE, IT GETS APPROVED. .

>> WITH REGARDS TO THE BUFFERING AND CERTAINLY IN TERMS OF LIGHTING LED LIGHTING, IT'S EASIER TO TARGET THINGS, SO IT'S LESS SPILLAGE. IN TEMS OF BOAT TRAILERS.

I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TO PUT A RESTRI RESTRICTIONS, MOST OF THE YOUR BOAT STORAGE ONLY BOATS THAT ARE TRAILERS. YOU HAVE TO GET A LIFT, AND THAT'S IMPRACTICAL. THOSE OPERATE AT A LARGE FASHION. I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE A PROBLEM. I THINK THE ONLY ONES THAT WILL WANT TO PUT THOSE BOATS, IF THEY CAN BRING THEM IN A TRAILER AND LAUNCH THEIR BOATS AND BRING THEM HOME IF THEY NEED THEM.

WE LOOKED AT THE PROBLEM, IN TERMS OF MARINAS AND ACCESS TO THE WATER QUITE A BIT. WE HAVE NOT COME UP WITH ANYTHING, UNTIL MIKE AND HIS GROUP CAME UP WITH THIS.

I THINK IT'S A NOVEL APPROACH TO ANSWER AT LEAST A NEED.

AND, YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY, THERE'S NOT THAT MANY OPPORTUNITIES, EVEN WITH THIS, THAT WOULD GIVE US A CHANCE TO HAVE PEOPLE, CHANGING THEIR ZONING AND ADOPTING IT.

[01:25:06]

AND ABOUT THE MIDDLEBERG BOAT RAMP, WHETHER IT'S PRIVATE PROPERTIES AROUND. EAGLE HARBOR, THAT ONE ON LAKE SH SHORE, I THINK THERE'S COUNTY

PROPERTY. >> AM I GOING TO GO --

>> I'M NOT GOING TO GO DOWN AUGUST OF THEM.

I WANT TO BRING UP THE FACT, IT'S A NOVEL WAY TO APPROACH IT.

I DON'T THINK IT'S WIDESPREAD BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A LOT OF BOAT RAMPS. I COULD SAY THERE'S A LOT MORE

BOAT RAMP. >> IT DOESN'T REALLY SAY BOAT RAMPS. IT SAYS MARINAS.

MY CONCERN, IT'S REALLY SPOT ZONING.

IT'S FOR ONE PROPERTY. THAT'S THE REALITY.

THE PROPERTY OWNER HAD APPROVAL, SOLD THE PROPERTY.

DIDN'T DEVELOP IT. SOLD THE PROPERTY.

WE CHANGED THE DEVELOPMENT CODE, WE AS, NOT THIS CURRENT BCC.

NOW THIS CURRENT LAND OWNER HAS ACQUIRED.

AND LIKE I SAID BEFORE, I THINK, AS WE HEARD WITH ONE OF THE RV AND BOAT STORAGE, CHANGES THAT WE MADE AND IN THE LAKE ASBERRY AREA, THERE'S NOT ENOUGH, BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF THE SUBDIVISIONS HAVE RESTRICTIONS ON WHETHER IT'S H.O.A. AND WHETHER THEY CAN STORE THEIR BOATS AND IF THEY CAN BE VISIBLE. I DON'T HAVE REALLY AN ISSUE WITH THE SIZE OF THE PROPERTY. I THINK IT'S A SLIPPERY SLOPE TO GO DOWN THE SPOT ZONE. AND OUR PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT HAS WARNED US ABOUT THAT IN THE PAST IN FACT, THERE'S COMMERCIAL PROPERTY ON COUNTY ROAD 116.

STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION WAS NOT TO APPROVE THAT.

THIS IS CONCERNING TO ME. I UNDERSTAND.

>> RECOGNIZE, THIS PARTIAL, THE ONE PAR SHE WILL, ALREADY HAS THE ZONING APPROPRIATE. THE ONLY THING THEY DON'T HAVE.

AND IF THEY HAD, THEY CAN DO RV AND BOAT STORAGE TODAY.

WE'RE NOT SAYING -- >> IT'S NOT SPOT ZONING BUT IT

KIND OF IS. >> WE JUST APPROVED SMALLER ACREAGE EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT FOR THE ARENA.

THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE, CORRECT?

LAKE ASBERRY. >> IN THE LAKE ASBERRY CHANGED IT TO APPROVE, THAT WAS AT THE SAME TIME, YOU PUT THE THREE ACRES COUNTY WIDE ON THE CHANGE, ON, TO ALLOW THE RV AND BOAT STORAGE, I BELIEVE IT WAS THE RURAL COMMUNITY ZONING DISTRICT

AS A CONDITIONAL USE. >> THERE WILL BE MORE, MOST

LIKELY. >> THIS -- WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS IN THIS IS, ALSO, IF YOU HAVE PARCEL, ADJACENT TO THE EXISTING ARENA WITH BOAT RAMP, THEY DON'T HAVE TO DRAG OR GO TO THE FACILITY, TAKE THE BOAT ON COUNTY ROADSOR STATE ROADS TO THE BOAT RAMP. IT'S ADJACENT TO THE BOAT RAMP.

WE CAN SAVE, AND WE CAN -- YEAH, IT'S MORE EFFICIENT AND SAVES SOME TRAFFIC OF PEOPLE, SHIPPING THEIR TREKKING THEIR BOATS BACK

AND FORTH. >> MIKE, HOW BIG IS THE PARCEL?

>> I COULD ONLY GUESS. I CAN'T RECALL.

I THINK IT'S A LITTLE OVER AN ACRE.

>> HOW MANY BOATS COULD THEY STORE, ONCE THEY PUT THE DRIVEWAYS AND LIGHTS AND THE FENCE AND BUFFER?

>> YEAH, I DON'T -- I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY THEY MAY HAVE.

I THINK THEY, I'M -- THEY HAD COME IN TO DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE ALREADY PREVIOUSLY. AND THIS WAS BROUGHT UP TO THEM, THAT THEY COULDN'T, BECAUSE OF THE SIZE LIMIT.

I BELIEVE THAT AT THAT TIME, THERE WERE 8-10 SPOTS, THAT THEY HAD IDENTIFIED, BUT I CAN'T SWEAR TO THAT.

I'M JUST TRYING TO RECOLLECT. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I GUESS I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, EVEN THOUGH NO ONE CAME

[01:30:05]

>> IF THERE'S NO DISCUSSION, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS WITHOUT THE RECOMMENDATIONS BY THE

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. >> WE HAVE A MOTION?

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? >> I'LL SECOND THAT.

>> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

FURTHER DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR

[20.  Final Public Hearing to consider ZON-0623-00016 (M. Brown)]

ITEM. >> THIS IS A STAFF INITIATED CHANGE TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

RELATED TO SECTION 3-40, WHICH IS THE P.S.-3 ZONING DISTRICT.

AND IT WOULD ESTABLISH A NEW SUMMARIZE THE CHANGE PROPOSED.

PRESENTLY THE PS ZONING DISTRICT, ALLOWS, HOSPITALS AND MEDICAL FACILITIES. AND ALSO GROUP HOMES WHICH INCLUDED DRUG ABUSE AND DETENTION CENTERS AND OTHER TREATMENT FACILITIES. AND IN THE PAST, THOSE, THE MIX OF USAGE HAS BEEN ISSUES WITH CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEES AND NEIGHBORS, WHEN SOMEONE HAS COME IN OR AN ENTITY HAS COME INTO REZONED TO PS3. WHAT THIS CHANGED PROPOSES IS TO RECONSTITUTE THE PS3 AND ZONING DISTRICT.

AND KEEP THE MEDICAL AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL RELATED FACILITIES IN PS3. AND CREATE A NEW PS6 DISTRICT WHICH WOULD ENCOMPASS ALL THE GROUP HOME AND DETENTION CENTERS AND ABUSE TREATMENT FACILITIES. THE BOAT, THE RECONSTRUCTION P.S.-3 AND PROPOSED P.S. DISTRICT, WOULD BE IN THE SAME LAND USE AS THE P.S. TODAY. ALL THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS WOULD REMAIN THE SAME. JUST IN ADDITION, THOSE PARCELS AND THE CHANGE WOULD, THE SPREADING OF THE USE TYPES WOULD APPLY TO ANY NEW ENTITY COMING IN AND REQUESTING ANY PS3 OR PS6. IF YOU HAVE A PS ZONING TODAY, YOU WOULD BE HELD WHOLE. YOU COULD DO WHATEVER IS ALLOWED TODAY IN PS3. THE MIX OF USAGE WOULD BE ALLOWED. IT WOULD ONLY -- IT WOULDN'T TAKE ANY RIGHTS AWAY FROM ANYBODY THAT HAS PS3 TODAY.

JUST ANYBODY COMING IN THE FUTURE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHOOSE, BASED ON THE USE, PS3 AND PS6, IF THIS WAS ADOPTED.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION, SUPPORTED MAKING THE CHANGE.

AND IT WOULD CREATE A PS DISTRICT, WHERE YOU WOULD STICK TO THE NEW HOSPITALS AND RELATED MEDICAL USES.

THERE ARE NOT THAT MANY RELATIVELY, EXISTING, PARTIALS TODAY. IF SOMEONE COMES IN WITH THE EXISTING PS3'S, WE WOULD APPLY THE USES TO THAT.

[01:35:11]

>> QUESTIONS. >> DO YOU REMEMBER HOW MANY PS3,

LIKE 28 OR 38. >> IT WAS, 27 OR 28.

>> 27 OR 28. >> THAT'S THE NUMBER.

>> AND WE JUST CAN'T REMEMBER. >> AND SO ESSENTIALLY, PLANNING AND ZONING, WANTED TO CREATE TWO NEW PS CATEGORIES AS OPPOSED TO JUST LIMITING MORE PS3'S BEING DISTRIBUTED.

AND JUST CREATE THE PS6. PS3, WE WOULD END UP WITH HOSPITALS AND MOBS, PRIMARILY. IF SOMEONE HAS, PS6, THEY WILL NOT COUCH IT AND MOVE ON TO SOMEONE ELSE.

THANK YOU, APPRECIATE IT. >> OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> OKAY, I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I HAVE ONE CARD. >> GOOD EVENING, I'M MARK SKRUPY, ATTORNEY WITH THE TOWERS LAW FIRM, 1301 RIVER PLACE BOULEVARD, JACKSONVILLE. I'M IN SUPPORT OF THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION. NEXT MONTH I'LL BE PRESENTING TO YOU AN EMERGENCY ROOM. NOT UNLIKE THE ONE THAT'S MIDDLEBERG NOW. AND AS WE WORK THROUGH THIS REZONING, IT BECAME CLEAR THAT THE TWO SETS OF USES WERE REALLY NOT MATCHED VERY WELL. ONE HAND, YOU HAVE HOSPITALS, MEDICAL FACILITIES. AND OTHER HAND, YOU HAVE DETENTION CENTER, DRUG ABUSE AND ALCOHOL TREATMENT FACILITIES.

INTERMEDIATE CARE FACILITIES CLUSTERED AND INTERMEDIATE FOR AND INSTITUTIONS FOR PSYCHIATRIC DISO DISORDERS. OUR CODE SAYS INSANE, WHICH IS NOT QUITE PC. THIS WOULD CHANGE THAT TO SAY PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS. THAT'S THE PURPOSE, IS TO GET THOSE SETS OF USES APART. SO THAT THE HOSPITALS WILL STAND ALONE AND THEN THE OTHER USES WILL BE PLACED ON PS6.

SO I'M IN SUPPORT OF THAT. I WILL BE BACK LATER NEXT MONTH

TO PRESENT THAT PROGRAM. >> ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THE ITEM. SEEING NONE, I'LL CLOSE TO THE PUBLIC HEARING. I'LL BRING IT BACK PORE MOTION

AND DISCUSSION. >> I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO BRUCE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION, CREATING THE P.S.6 PRIVATE SERVICE ZONE.

>> PRIVATE SERVICE. >> FEELS IT SHOULD BE PUBLIC.

>> I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND DISCU

DISCUSSION. >> I WAS ORIGINALLY OPPOSED TO THIS, BECAUSE I KNEW IT WAS FOR ONE LOCATION.

COMMISSIONER CELLA, YOU CHANGED MY VOTE WHEN YOU POINTED THE TRANSPARENCY TO THE PUBLIC. I DON'T WANT TO DISCOURAGE ANYONE FROM COMING AND OPENING THE SERVICES THAT ARE NEEDED FOR THE COMMUNITY, THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY FOR THINGS LIKE DRUG AND ALCOHOL REHAB AND COUNSELLING SERVICES AND GROUP HOMES. I THINK THERE'S A PLACE FOR THAT IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR. THAT'S IN MY OPINION.

THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY GOVERNOR'S PLACE.

ANY WAY. I'M IN SUPPORT OF IT.

>> ADD TO IT, BUT IT IS NOT HIDDEN IN THE PS3 CATEGORY.

[01:40:01]

>> ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING AYE. THOSE OPPOSED?

[21.  Acceptance of Resignation from the Clay County Utility Authority Board]

MOTION CARRIES, 5-0. >> ACCEPTANCE FROM RESIGNATION FROM THE CLAY COUNTY UTILITY AUTHORITY BOARD.

DARRIN ROURKE SUBMITTED HIS RESIGNATION FROM THE BOARD.

>> I MOVE TO ACCEPT MR. ROARK'S RESIGNATION.

>> MOTION AND SECOND. FURTHER DISCUSSION.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR INDICATE BY SAYING AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES 5-0.

I WOULD ADD, MY UNDERSTANDING, THERE'S A NUMBER OF PEOPLE INTERESTED IN FILLING THE ROLE. IN THE PAST, WE'VE HAD ONE APPLICANTS AT TIMES FOR THE CCU OPENINGS.

YOU COULD GET TO TERESA, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN INTERVIEWING

THE POTENTIAL APPLICANTS. >> I THINK THAT'S THE ONLY POSITION WE CAN RECOMMEND, COMMISSION COULD RECOMMEND TO

THE BOARD. >> IS THAT CORRECT?

>> YES. >> BY THE WAY, TRYING TO WALK OUT OF THE ROOM NOW, DENNIS VERGATA, HAS BEEN A BIG HELP IN TRYING TO GET CANDIDATES WHO ARE INTERESTED IN THE POSITION.

TO THE POINT, THEY COME INTERVIEW WITH VARIOUS BOARD MEMBERS. I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO MEET THEM. USUALLY IN THE PAST, IT'S BEEN A RUBBER STAMP. WE'VE BEEN, WOULDING WITH DENNIS TO MAKE SURE THEY WOULD LIKE TO COME IN AND TALK TO US.

I THINK IT WILL HELP US UNDERSTAND A LITTLE MORE ON WHAT THE BOARD DOES AND THE PEOPLE THAT THEY RECOMMEND TO PUT ON

THE BOARD. >> AND FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, DENNIS REGATTA, IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CLAY COUNTY AUTHORITY. IF YOU HEARD HIS NAME, THAT'S

[22.  Acceptance of Resignation from the Board of Adjustments]

HE'S THE LATEST, WE APPOINTED HIM YEAR AND A HALF AGO.

HE HAS ACCEPTED A POSITION IN TEXAS AND HE'S RELOCATING.

I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR THAT.

>> MOVE APPROVAL. >> SECOND.

>> MOTION AND SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, INDICATE BY SAYING AYE.

>> AYE. >> THOSE OPPOSED, MOTION CARRIES

5-0. >> SOMETHING WE WANT TO CONSIDER. THAT'S THE SECOND OPENING OF THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS. I KNOW ONE PERSON WHO IS INTERESTED IN APPLYING BUT HASN'T YET.

AND WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT CHANGING THE CODE, CHERISE, YOU COULD QUOTE ME, I FORGOT TO CALL YOU AHEAD OF TIME.

BUT WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT CHANGING, CHANGING THE CODE TO NARROW THEIR SCOPE YEAR OR SO, LOOKING AT THE STORAGE WAREHOUSES. I THOUGHT I UNDERSTOOD, WE CAN CHOOSE AS A BCC TO HAVE THE ROLE ALSO PLAYED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION. I WANTED TO VOTE IT OUT, BY A POSSIBLE. IF WE END UP HAVING A HARD TIME.

SOME OF YOU MAY NOT KNOW. OUR BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS COULDN'T EVEN MEET LAST YEAR FOR LACK OF A KWOER RUM.

>> CLOSE TO THAT AGAIN. >> YEAH.

. >> ESPECIALLY IF WE'RE DOWN TO 3 MEMBERS. THAT'S VERY FRUSTRATING TO APPLICANTS WHO ARE LOOKING FOR THOSE ADJUSTMENTS.

I DON'T KNOW, I THOUGHT THAT MAY BE AN OPTION FOR US GOING IN THE FUTURE. MAYBE I JUST DREAMED THAT.

I FELT LIKE THAT WAS PART OF THE CONVER

[23.  Bid Opening Tabulations (K. Smith)]

CONVERSATION. >> BID OPENING TABULATIONS.

WE HAD TWO. WE HAVE THE SPONSOR DEVELOPER FOR BUILDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR THE SHIP PROGRAM.

AND ALSO THE COUNTY ROAD 218, SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT FROM TAYLOR ROAD TO CLAY HILL ELEMENTARY AND PART OF THAT IS A SIDEWALK TO NOWHERE. THAT'S NOT.

I DIDN'T WIN THAT BATTLE. IF YOU DON'T KNOW.

D.O.T., IT'S A NEIGHBOR -- WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE PROJECT.

IT'S A GRANT. A SAFETY GRANT FROM D.O.T.

INSTEAD OF EXTENDING THE SIDEWALK ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE STREET, WE HAVE TO PUT SIDEWALKS ON COUNTY ROAD 218 BECAUSE IT'S

[01:45:04]

WE ASKED TO CHANGE IT. RICHARD ASKED TO CHANGE IT AND

[PUBLIC COMMENTS]

WE ARE TO THE SECOND PUBLIC COMMENT.

I HAVE MR. WALTERS, TO COME BACK UP AND SPEAK TO US AGAIN.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO SPEAK FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, MAKE SURE TO FILL OUT A PUBLIC COMMENT CARD AND YOU COULD SPEAK

AFTER MR. WALTERS. >> I COME HERE TO ASK YOU.

TO PROVIDE ON THE ROAD I'M WILLING TO PAY FOR.

I FIND IT ODD, YOU HAVE A LATE PRESENTED STUDY, ON PAVING ROADS THAT WILL COST YOU A LOT OF MONEY AND I'M TRYING TO GIVE YOU ONE. THE 7 LOTS OF ROADS, I WENT TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT. DID YOU KNOW IT COST $13,200 ON IMPACT FEES TO JUST BUILD ONE HOUSE.

COMBINED WITH THE BUILDING PERMIT, YOUR SEPTIC, DRI, ELECTRICAL, THAT COMES TO $14,377.

SWUVEN MADE A COMMENT, WELL, YOU COULD JUST ADD IT TO THE COST OF THE LAND. THAT SEVEN LOTS WILL BRING ALONG $100,000. I'M TRYING TO GIVE YOU A ROAD, $100,000 ON IMPACT ROADS AND HOUSES THAT ARE THERE.

IT WOULD BE SEVEN MORE NICE HOUSES ON WOODLAND DRIVE.

I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO PAY FOR ANYTHING.

I'M JUST ASKING YOU TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE ENGINEERING SO I COULD BUILD YOU A ROAD. I WILL PAY FOR THE CONCRETE WINGS. I'LL DO ALL OF IT.

ALL I ASK FOR IS THE ENGINEERING.

BASICALLY I PROVIDE YOU THE INFORMATION.

ALL THE SURVEYS. I MET WITH THE RIVER, AND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A PROBLEM. ALL I NEED IS THE ENGINEERING.

>> MR. WALTERS? .

[COMMISSION AUDITOR]

>> ANY OTHER WANTING TO SPEAK FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.

SEEING NONE, I WILL MOVE TO THE COMMISSIONER AUDITOR, A.K.A.

[COUNTY ATTORNEY]

[24.  Approval of the FY 23/24 Maximum Millage Rates and setting the date, time and location for the First Public Hearing for the adoption of the FY 2023/2024 Clay County Tentative Budget]

>> MADAM CHAIR, COMMISSIONER, I HAVE TWO ITEMS. ONE LISTED AND ONE ADDITIONAL. BEFORE I HAVE A SCRIPT I'LL BE READING MOMENTARILY AND THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR FY23-24.

I'LL SEEK APPROVAL FOR MAXIMUM 23/24.

IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE COUNTY BUDGET STATE OF FLORIDA MANDATES, COUNTY FOLLOWS TRIM PROCESS.

AND CHAPTER 200 AND THE FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE CHAPTER 12D TAX 17. THIS PROCESS REQUIRES THE CODE TO ADVISE THE PROPERTY APRAISER OF ITS APPROVED MAXIMUM RATES AND PROVIDE THE DATE, TIME AND PLACE, OF WHICH THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE HELD, DR420 KSZ WELLING FOUR DAYS.

AND COUNTY STAFF IS PREPARED FOR PROPOSED, CALCULATIONS BASED ON THE CERTIFIABLE TAXABLE VALUE, ASSURING THAT ALL REQUEST OF THE COUNTY CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS AND BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONER STAFF RECEIVE FAIR VALUATION AND APPROPRIATION.

THE FAIR COUNTY, CLAY COUNTY PROPERTY OWNERS, VIA THE RECEIPT OF THEIR TRIM NOTICES. THE FY223/24 RECOMMENDED BUDGET THAT'S BALANCE AND PRESENTED NO INCREASE ON THE OVERALL RATE.

AND THREE OPTIONS, WERE PRESENTED.

AND OPTION 1 IS THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED MILLAGE, WHICH IS PROVIDED IN ATTACHMENT A. MILLAGE RATE WILL BE 9699, ADD WARM TAX REVENUE OF 158,000072. AND WITHIN THIS, THE TOTAL MILLAGE IS 80601 WITH ADJUSTMENTS TO COUNTY SERVICES AND -- OR GOES UP 0.1. AND THOSE TOTALS STILL, 8.601,

[01:50:03]

HERE COUNTY SERVICES, UNINCORPORATED SERVICES REMAIN THE SAME AND TOTAL 8.601, WITH AN ADD VOR REVENUE OF $141,671,705. THERE ARE TWO ACTIONS NEEDED TODAY THIS AFTERNOON. ROLE CALL VOTE TO APPROVE THE MILLAGE RATE. ATTACHMENT B, PROPOSED MILLAGE RATE, ATTACHMENT C, CURRENT UNCHANGED MILLAGE RATE.

AND APPROVED ATTACHMENT IS USED TO CREATE THE FORM.

AND MILLAGE COULD BE LOWERED BUT NOT INCREASED AND THE FIRST BUDGET HEARING PROPOSED WOULD BE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12TH, 2023 AT TIME 5:05:00 P.M.

IT WOULD BE RIGHT HERE IN THE CLAY COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FOURTH FLOOR BOARD ROOM. THE SECOND HEARING WOULD BE PROPOSED TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26TH, 2023, AT 5:05:00 P.M., AT COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FOR FLOOR BOARD ROOM.

MADAM CHAIR, THAT'S MY READING STATEMENT WITHIN THE RECORD.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR APPROVAL. >> QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? SEEING NONE, I WILL ENTERTAIN, I GUESS DO I READ THE RESOLUTION

OR JUST ENTERTAIN. >> JUST A ROLL CALL VOTE.

>> ROLL CALL VOTE. >> I'M GOING TO DO THE ROLL CALL

VOTE. >> COMMISSIONER BURKE.

>> NEED THE MOTION FIRST AND THEN ROLL CALL.

>> THREE CHOICES. >> OPTION B.

>> SECOND THAT. AND FOR THE SAKE OF CITIZENS AND TAXPAYERS LOOKING IN. THE MILLAGE RATE WOULD BE THE SAME AND HOWIE, IF YOU WOULD EXPLAIN, WHAT WE'RE DOING IS TWEAKING THE MILLAGE FOR COUNTY SERVICE AS OPPOSED TO THE

UNINCORPORATED SERVICE. >> THAT'S CORRECT.

YES, SIR. WITHIN THAT, THE COUNTY SERVICES MILLAGE RATE GOES DOWN VERY SLIGHTLY AND UNINCORPORATED SERVICES, GOES UP SLIGHTLY. IT STILL TOTALS THE AMOUNT.

IN LOOKING AT THIS AND I WILL EXPLAIN IN A MINUTE, WITH THE STATEMENT THAT I HAVE. IT DOES REDUCE THE AMOUNT BY $21,478. LET ME READ.

UNINCORPORATED, INCREASING AT THE EXPENSE OF COUNTY SERVICES MILLAGE. UNINCORPORATED APPLY TO THE SUBSET OF THE COUNTY WIDE PROPERTIES.

IT DOESN'T INCLUDE INCORP PRALTED TOWNS AND CITIES.

COUNTY WIDE, HAS PROPERTY VALUES OF OVER 16 BILLION, SPECIFICALLY, 16 BILLION, 939 MILLION.

UNINCORPORATED MSG, CONTAINS PROPERTY, 15,328,680.

AND IT WILL YIELD LESS REVENUE BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF VALUE AND PROPERTIES IS NOT AS WIDE AS THE COUNTY WIDE.

MOVING MILLAGE FROM COUNTY WIDE WILL ALWAYS YIELD LESS.

AND THIS IS TO MAKE UP DIFFERENCE FROM WITHIN THE ININCORPORATED AND IT'S BEEN VERY LOW AND THE SERVICES PROVIDED THERE, WE'RE TRYING TO BALANCE IT OUT.

. >> QUESTIONS, OTHER COMMENTS.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND. SO WE'RE READY FOR THE ROLL CALL

VOTE. >> COMMISSIONER BURKE?

>> AYE. >> COMMISSIONER?

>> AYE.

>>. >> PASSES 5-0.

> MADAM CHAIR, MOTION FOR THE SCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARINGS.

>> SO I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR THE PUBLIC HEARINGS IN THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER. TO BE ADVERTISED.

[01:55:01]

>> WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, INDICATE BY

SAYING AYE. >> AYE.

>> THOSE OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES 5-0.

>> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS.

WE'LL MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT AND ADVERTISE ACCORDINGLY.

AS A REMINDER A C.I.P. WORKSHOP WILL BE ON AUGUST 1ST, TUESDAY AT 9:00 IN THE MORNING. THEY'LL BE AN OPEN DISCUSSION THERE AND A WORKSHOP. THE SECOND ITEM I HAD FOR THE COMMISSIONERS AND PUBLIC'S AWARENESS.

MOMMA BLUFF PROPOSED CHANGE. >> RICHARD SMITH CLAY COUNTY, DEPARTMENT. WHAT I HEARD, THE CONCEPT PLAN WE WERE GIVEN, WILL WORK FOR BOTH THE FOUR LANES SECTION AS IT IS NOW AS WELL AS THE 6TH LANE PROPOSED SECTION OF THE FUTURE. THAT INDICATED TO ME, IF WE WANTED TO IS, IF IT WAS BUDGETED, IF WE WANTED TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT, D.O.T. WOULD ENTERTAIN A DESIGN.

>> WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT EVEN THOUGH IT'S 17?

>> IF WE WANT >> DID WE ASK IF IT'S A POSSIBLE EMER EMERGENCY?

>> THEY DO EMERGENCY FUNDING. >> I'LL ASK HIM THAT, YES,

MA'AM. >> AND HE PROPOSED HIMSELF A

POSSIBLE QUICK FIX. >> AND HE DID ADD, WE WOULD STILL PUT THE POLLSMENT YOU'RE PROBABLY LOOKING INTO TODAY'S NUMBERS, 1.1.2 MILLION. IT WOULD INCLUDE THE EXPANSION IN THE FUTURE. I COULD CALL HIM TOMORROW.

>> EXCELLENT. THANK YOU.

. >> GREEN COVE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS PUTTING ON THE NATIONAL NIGHT OUT.

. >> THOMAS HOGAN GYM, FROM 5:30 TOCLE. THAT'S 415 LEMON STREET.

CANINE, FACE PAINTING, AND PHOTO BOOKLET, MUSIC AND MUCH MORE.

DEFINITELY COME OUT AND SUPPORT THAT.

AND THAT WILL BE A GREAT NIGHT. WF WE HAVE THE LONG-AWAITED BRIDGE OPENING THIS WEEKEND. AND I WOULD LIKE TO OF COURSE, ECSTATIC. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING THE WORK AND GETTING IT DONE QUICKLY.

THERE'S A LOT OF WORK. IT'S NOT JUST THAT YOU'RE OPENING IT. AND THAT'S A GREAT THING.

THAT'S JULY 30TH. AND THEN, I HAVE RECEIVED QUITE A FEW E-MAILS REGARDING THREATS TO GLEN HAVEN RESIDENTS AND GLEN HAVEN RESIDENTS ARE SCARED, WHEN THEY OPEN IT.

I WOULD LIKE TO LET EVERYONE KNOW AT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, THAT WILL BE NOT TOLERATE. PLEASE, YOU KNOW, GLEN HAVEN

[02:00:02]

PLEASE LET'S NOT HAVE ANY OF THAT.

THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS GOING TO BE PATROLLING THE AREA.

THAT'S ALL I HAD. >> AND I JUST, I THINK I HAVE TWO ITEMS WELL,'S ROAD, WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT REDESIGN OF THE INTERSECTION.

AND SO I'M GOING TO HOLD A PUBLIC MEETING WITH THE BUSINESSES IN THE AREA IN AUGUST SOME TIME.

IF YOU'RE LISTENING TO THE BROADCAST OR RESIDENT.

WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THE CURRENT PLAN AND SEE IF THAT MEETS ALL YOUR NEEDS IN THE REGION.

SECOND THING, RESILLIENCY COMMITTEE MEETING.

WE HAD A GREAT BRIEF ON SEPTIC TANKS AND THE CONTAMINATION, PRESENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND REGIONAL COUNCIL, DECIDED TO DO A REGION WIDE SEPTIC STUDY OR PURSUIT, LOOKING AT THE SEPTIC TANKS IN THE WHOLE REGION DUE TO THE CONTAMINATION THEY PRIDE TO THE WATER WAYS. I WANT TO MAKE EVERYBODY AWARE.

>> IN THAT SAME VEIN, I GOT INVITED TO ROUND TABLE THAT KINGSLEY LAKE IS COORDINATING WITH THE WATER DISTRICT AND WATERMANING. KINGSLEY IS STARTING TO SEE PROBLEMS IN THE PUBLIC TANKS. CAMP LANDING IS IN THE -- THE

HOMES ON KINGSLEY IS A PROBLEM. >>I WANT TO TELL YOU, I THINK I UNDERSTAND I THINK IT'S B-MAP, WHEN THEY IDENTIFY THE WATER WAY THAT NEEDS, REMEDIATION.

THEY LOOK AT FOS FATES AND NITROGEN.

THEY DON'T LOOK AT CONTAMINATION.

I WANT TO DO A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THAT.

THANK YOU. .

>> THANK YOU. .

>> COMMISSIONER. >> AND SO, THREE THINGS.

THE COUNTY MANAGER AND HIS TEAM PUT UP A BEAUTIFUL CLAY COUNTY SIGN IN THE DUVAL CLAY LINE, OUT IN THE DISTRICT.

I'VE BEEN GETTING LOTS OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK.

AND IT IS REALLY PRETTY AND IT'S ESPECIALLY A BEAUTIFUL SITE AT NIGHT, BECAUSE IT'S WELL LIT. THANKS, COUNTY COMMISSIONER FOR DOING THAT. IT'S GREAT.

SECOND THING, I WAS EXCITED TO HEAR FROM LAURA AND DEAN ABOUT THE STRONG RESPONSE TO THE GUN RANGE.

WE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING AND SHOPPING WAYS TO CONNECT.

I'M HOPING WE WOULD IMPLEMENT SOME OF THOSE, BECAUSE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, I NOTICED, ATTENDANCE IS LIGHT WHEN WE NEED THE FEEDBACK. MAYBE IN PERSON, IS NOT THE WAY TO GO. MAYBE IT NEEDS TO BE MORE ELECTRONIC, PEOPLE. THEY IDEOLIZE THE CONVENIENCE.

ONE OF THE THINGS I HEARD THEM SAY, HE HAD CLEAR RESULTS, BECAUSE IT WAS EASY FOR USERS TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE. MAYBE WE NEED TO LOOK AT TO HOW TO PUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT TOGETHER, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'RE MAKING DECISIONS WE NEED THEIR INPUT ON. THE LAST THING, I HAVE BEEN GETTING TEXT MESSAGES AND PHONE CALLS, ET CETERA, ABOUT THE GRAFFITI ON THE OVERPASS AND OAK LEAF ON THE WALL.

PEOPLE ARE, I GET IT, ARE VERY UPSET.

THEY WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW, I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE COUNTY MANAGER.

I THINK IT WAS RICHARD. HE WAS WALKING AND TALKING ABOUT IT. WE ARE WORKING ON IT.

I GET IT. IT'S GROSS.

IT'S INAPPROPRIATE. AND HOPEFULLY, WE WILL GET IT RESOLVED QUICKLY. OTHERWISE, ALWAYS A PLEASURE.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO AND THE STAFF.

YOU GUYS ARE GREAT. SEE YOU NEXT MONTH.

>> MADAM CHAIR, IF I MAY ASK TO THE COMMENTS.

THERE'S A WELCOME TO CLAY COUNT EYE SIGN.

LAURA AND HER TEAM ARE PLANNING A DEDICATION CEREMONY AND SOON TO FOLLOW. WE WILL BE DOING THAT.

WE DIDN'T WANT TO DELAY THE INSTALL OF THE SIGNS AND TO PUT THEM UP THERE. THEY ARE WELL LIT.

THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL. IF I GET A CHANCE, I MAY BE ABLE

[02:05:01]

SO VERY NICE SIGNS AND WELCOME TO CLAY COUNT EYE.

>> I JUST HAD LUNCH WITH COMMISSIONER BOWL.

>> AND WE FINALLY GOT IT THERE FOR HIM.

>> AND MADAM CHAIR, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE CONSTRUCTION CREWS WORKING AT COUNTY 220, AND INTERSECTION.

IF YOU HEARD A LOT FROM THE RESIDENTS IN THE AREA, WHY THEY ARE NOT DOING MORE WORK. THEY ARE WORKING OVERNIGHT.

MOVING VARIOUS VEHICLES FROM SIDE TO SIDE.

THEY ARE MAKING GREAT PROGRESS THERE.

RICHARD, THEY HAVE TO BE OUT, BY THE END OF NEXT MONTH.

THEY ARE MAKING SOME DECENT PROGRESS THERE.

IF YOU ARE DRIVING THROUGH THERE.

AND DRIVING EARLY MORNING, AND THEY HAVE DUMP TRUCKS AND ALL SORTS OF STUFF. I KNOW THEY WANT TO BE SAFE AS WELL. THERE'S A LITTLE COMMUNITY THEATER THAT OPERATES IN THE VILLAGE MARKETPLACE, IT'S CALLED THE ISLAND THEATER. THEY'VE DONE ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT PRODUCTIONS. AND UNFORTUNATELY WEEK OR SO AGO, THEY WERE HIT BY VANDALISM AND THEFT.

WHO WOULD BREAK IN, DESTROY SETS AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS THAT THEY SPENT MONEY ON TO TRY TO PUT MONEY BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.

I KNOW THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE WAS CALLED AND WORKING ON THAT.

IF YOU THINK ABOUT DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT, YOU MAY BE SEE A SHOW AND SUPPORT THEM TO GET THEM BACK TO THEIR FEET.

ALSO, WE HAVE FOOD TRUCK FRIDAY, BACK ON TRACK.

HOPEFULLY THE WEATHER WILL COOPERATE AND WON'T GET RAINED OUT. FOR MORE INFORMATION, LOOK AT

EXPLORE CLAY.COM. >> THERE'S THE BOLLA MONUMENT IN

FRONT OF YOU. >> IN FRONT OF THE MALL.

>> VERY GOOD. .

>> TIME FOR PICTURE. >> I WANT TO THANK CHERISE AND HER TEAM. THE ROLE OF ACTING DIRECTOR, PUBLIC WORKS. SHE AND HER STAFF HAVE HAD SOME ROUGH MEETINGS, WITH CONVERSATIONS WITH THE PUBLIC AND FOR MSDU FOR THE DISTRICT. ALSO, LIVE WITH BLAINE PROJIKT AND STAFF IS THERE WITH SMILES ON THEIR FACES.

AND SOME OF THE STAFF, KAREN WAS THERE, AND LAURA CAME FOR THAT ONE. I WANT TO PUBLICLY SAY, AND WILLING TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, HANG AROUND LATER AND ACTUALLY SITTING IN THE RAIN TO TALK UNTIL EVERY RESIDENTS' CONCERNS.

AND YOUR STAFF STEPPED IN AND IT'S BEEN REALLY GOOD.

AND THERE'S BIG SHOES TO FILL AND SCOTT IS STEPPING IN FOR ROBERT BARRY HILL. HE HAD HIS RETIREMENT.

AND ALL THE STAFF IS SUPPORTING HIM.

I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT'S GONE OVER THAT AND ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS. WE ARE STILL GETTING E-MAILS AND CALLS. I KNOW YOU ARE RICHARD.

I APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH. ONE THING THAT'S CLEAR TO ME, AFTER WE DID OUR DIRT ROAD STUDY, NOT THAT IT IS BEFORE, I APPRECIATE THE WORK, THAT WAS DONE, ALMOST THE YEAR'S WORTH OF WORK. IT'S CLEAR TO ME, THE DISTRICT'S OF DISTRICT 4 HAS NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL.

THAT'S BECAUSE WHEN YOU TRY TO GET ALLOCATED, AND THE ROADS IN THE DISTRICT. THE REST OF THE DISTRICTS REALLY

[02:10:01]

NASSAU COUNTY, BOTH BONDED THE DIRT ROADS, SO THEY CAN IMPROVE THE DIRT ROADS. BONDS WERE TREMENDOUSLY EXPENSIVE. THAT'S NOT IN THE NEAR FUTURE FOR. AND THE COUNTY MANAGER AND STAFF HAVE COMMITTED TO ME, THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO GET CREATED, AND HOW TO GET THE ROADS AADDRESSED. IT MAY NOT MEAN A LOT TO THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE TO LIVE ON THEM. THERE'S PEOPLE IN THE COUNTY, TO DO SOMETHING IN THE ROAD, THAT WAS PROMISED A LONG TIME AGO.

EVEN SOME IMPROVEMENTS HELPS. AT ANY RATE, WHEN IT COMES TO BUDGET TIME TO BE A LITTLE SYMPATHETIC AND HOPEFULLY, YOU COULD LOOK AT THE LIST. NOW WE HAVE A LIST.

IT'S NOT SOMEONE'S OPINION. WE APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT'S DONE IN THAT AND THE CRITERIA IN THE PAST.

IT'S BEEN JUST KIND OF HAPHAZARD PUT TOGETHER LIST.

I IMAGINE, AT SOME POINT, THIS WOULD BE PUT IN THE WEBSITE FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEE WHERE THEY RANKED AS WELL.

AT ANY RATE, I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK.

IT'S NOW PRETTY CLEAR TO ME. I'M NOT LOSING HOPE.

AT ANY RATE, IT'S NOT A CAMPAIGN PROMISE.

IT'S ONE OF -- SOMETHING THAT I WANTED TO SEE ACCOMPLISH BEFORE I LEAVE. TIME IS COMMISSION.

LITTLE FRUSTRATING, BUT NOT SOMETHING WE DIDN'T KNOW.

I THINK THAT'S ALL MY COMMENTS AND IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER? SEEING NONE, WE WILL SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 1ST AT 9:00 A.M.

>> YES, MA'AM. >> FOR THE
