YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY SAN FRANCISCO IS DOING IT? >> I CAN ALWAYS MOVE THE IF I

[00:33:54]

WANTED TO. [LAUGHTER] ANYWAY -- AGAIN, KATHY GARDNER

[00:34:04]

HAS PASSED CONTRIBUTIONS IN MY OPINION. THANK YOU.

[00:34:16]

>> THANK YOU. RENEWAL FOR THE CLAY COUNTY ECONOMIC RENEWAL CORPORATION.

[18. Sixth Renewal to Agreement/Contract #13/14-100 with the Clay County Economic Development Corporation]

[00:34:30]

>> GOOD AFTERNOON. DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME?

[00:34:37]

>> AFTER YOU LEAVE, UNRELATED >> YES, SIR. THIS IS THE EDC CONTRACT THAT THEY NEGOTIATED THEY HAD SANDED AND SOME OTHER CAUSE AND NEGOTIATED BACK TO THE HUNDRED THOUSAND WHICH WE HAVE BEEN CONTRIBUTING TO THE EDC FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS.

THAT IS WHERE WE STAND. THIS IS A ONE-YEAR RENEWAL.

[00:35:06]

>> WHEN ARE WE PLANNING ON BIDDING THIS AGAIN. >> WE CAN BID AT ANY TIME.

I KNOW THAT WAS DISCUSSED PROBABLY IN JUNE SOMETIME. AFTER THE CHANGEOVER WITH THE NEW COUNTY MANAGER AND A LOT OF STUFF WE HAD GOING ON ESSENTIALLY THERE WASN'T AMPLE TIME AS THE ACTUAL CONTRACT EXPIRED SEPTEMBER 30. ALSO HAVING A LOT OF DISCUSSION WITH THE EDC AND THE MEMBERS OF THEIR BOARD AND GETTING THE CALLS TO THAT 100,000 ONCE AGAIN. ALSO WE HAVE KIND OF ASKED THEM TO GIVE US MORE INFORMATION SO PART OF THAT REASON IS WHY JJ HARRIS AND THOSE GUYS WERE HERE AT THE LAST BCC MEETING TO BRIEF YOU GUYS. WE INTEND FOR THAT TO HAPPEN AT LEAST QUARTERLY, AND MORE IF NEEDED. I THINK SPECIFICALLY WE ARE GETTING MORE OUT OF THEM.

JUST HAVING A LOT MORE CONVERSATION THAT WITH THE THINGS THEY HAVE GOING ON.

WE CAN DEFINITELY DO AN RFP. WE CAN START ONE IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS FOR THE NEXT CONTRACT IF

YOU WOULD LIKE. >> I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION WE WERE GOING TO DO THIS AFTER FIVE FIVE-YEAR THING. WE TALKED ABOUT THIS SEVERAL MONTHS AGO.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T REALLY EMBRACE THE IDEA. I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS A CHANGE OF COMMAND AND STUFF. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS BID AT SOME POINT.

I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH GIVING IT BACK TO THE EDC IF THEY ARE THE LOWEST BIDDER, THEY ARE BEST QUALIFIED. I THINK WE HAD TO OPEN THIS UP EVERY FEW YEARS TO SEE IF THERE IS A NEW CAT ON THE HORIZON HERE. I HAVE SAID ENOUGH.

I DON'T THINK $100,000 IS ENOUGH MONEY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME I THINK WE OUGHT TO BID THIS THING OUT AN INTERVAL RATING. WHAT INCENTIVE DOES A CONTRACTOR HAVE IF WE KEEP GIVING HIM THE

SAME SORT OF THING. >> UNDERSTOOD. >> TERESA, IS THERE THAT MANY

COMPANIES OUT THERE THAT WOULD BE IN COMPETITION TO THE EDC? >> I DON'T THINK THAT THERE ARE.

I AM SURE, YES, WE WOULD HAVE SOME CONSULTANTS THAT WOULD WANT TO, YOU KNOW, GIVE THEIR SHOT AT IT, SURE. THE THING THAT IS INTERESTING ABOUT OUR EDC AND OUR BOARD, THEY ARE ALL CLAY COUNTY FOLKS. AT THE END OF THE DAY THEY DEFINITELY HAVE CLAY COUNTY NEEDS AT HEART. THAT WOULD BE THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT THE RFP.

WHO WOULD BE THE OTHER FOLKS THAT WOULD PUT IN FOR IT? IT IS WORTH A SHOT TO SEE WHO

PUTS IN FOR >> -- FOR IT. >> I WOULD SAY GO AHEAD FOR IT.

>> A COUPLE OF THINGS WITH THE EDC. THEY OBTAINED THEIR 5013 C, AT THEIR LAST BOARD MEETING, WHICH WAS LAST WEEK THEY HAVE QUITE A BIT OF REVENUE COMING IN.

THAT UPTICK IN THE REQUEST OF $216,000, HOW THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SPENT OR HELP THEM OUT IN SOME WAY. I THINK THEY ARE FINANCIALLY SOUND.

THEY HAVE GOTTEN FINANCIALLY SOUND OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. THEY WERE LOSING QUITE A BIT OF MONEY. I WOULD SAY, OTHERS THAT ARE OUT THERE, I THINK YOU WOULD SEE JACK'S USA PROBABLY BID FOR IT. THEY ARE CAPABLE, THEY HAVE THE STAFF, THEY HAVE THE EXPERIENCE ON THE KNOWLEDGE. OTHERS THAT ARE OUT THERE INTERNALLY PERHAPS WOULD BE SOMEBODY NEW. THE ONLY OTHER TWO ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE OBVIOUSLY INVOLVED IN THIS IS THE CCD A AND THE CLAY COUNTY CHAMBER. WHETHER THEY WOULD BE QUALIFIED TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE SEEN. WHEN WE GO OUT FOR THAT REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL TO SEE WHAT WE GET. IT WOULD BE KEY AND CRITICAL FOR SOMEONE IN CLAY COUNTY WHO HAS A

FOOTPRINT HERE. THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND WHAT WE >> I DON'T WANT TO SAY IT IS NOT WORKING. I WAS HOPING FOR MORE. I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE PEOPLE WE HAVE GOT. MAYBE THERE'S ANOTHER IDEA OUT THERE.

>> ARE NOT THROWING ROCKS AT EVERYBODY. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE YOU HAVE TO STIR THE POT OR YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO GET THE SAME THING FOR DINNER EVERY DAY.

>> AGREE. [LAUGHTER] >> THANK YOU, TERESA.

[00:40:01]

YOU ARE OKAY WITH CONSENT ON THAT? >> LET'S PUT THAT ON THE REGULAR

BOARD. >> VERY GOOD. ITEM 19, TRANSFER OF MONEY TO

[19. FY 18/19 Divisional Transfer - Hurricane Dorian Activation]

EXPENSES INCURRED BY HURRICANE DORIAN. YES, MA'AM.

>> HELLO. AS WE KNOW, THE FISCAL YEAR 1819 IS THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR HAD AN EMERGENCY EVENT FOR THE HURRICANE DURING. ESTABLISHED PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICE SO WE DIDN'T, OF COURSE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION SOMETHING LIKE THAT MIGHT HAPPEN THE PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICE WAS VERY IMPORTANT DURING THE ACTIVATION TIME AND INCURRED SOME EXTRA PAYROLL CHARGES. IT IS TO COVER THOSE, WE ARE PULLING IT FROM THE COUNTY

BUDGET WHICH HAS SUBMISSION FUNDS TO COVER IT. >> THAT WAS $30,104.

>> THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO ITEM 20. IT WAS POLLED BY STAFF.

WE WILL SKIP THAT. WE WILL GO TO ITEM 21. MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT WITH

[21. Memorandum of Agreement with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission]

FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION. >> THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COUNTY IN THE FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE COMMISSION ESTABLISHES THAT IF THE COUNTY DEDICATES THE BOAT RAMP PROPERTY IN BODHI OR RECREATION THAT THEY WILL PROMISE TO PROVIDE THE LATER EQUIPMENT TO DO STRUCTURAL IMPROVEMENTS AND REPAIRS. WE HAVE SEVEN LOCATIONS IN THE

COUNTY. >> HOW MANY? >> SEVEN.

>> THAT WOULD QUALIFY? >> YES, SIR. THEY ARE ON THE LIST IN THIS

AGREEMENT. >> ARE THEY PRIVATE BOAT RAMPS AND?

>> THIS AGREEMENT WAS IN PLACE, WE IT IS FOR 20 YEARS ON THE FUNDING COMES FROM THE STATE

THROUGH THEIR BOAT OR FUNDS. >> I SEE NO DOWNSIDE TO THAT. >> IT IS A WIN-WIN FOR US.

THEY DO THE TYPICAL REPAIRS, THE CONCRETE AND CEMENT BAGS, ADDING OR REMOVING PHIL FOR THE BOATS ON THE BACK END OF THE BOAT RAMPS. THEY DO ESTABLISH IN THE AGREEMENT THAT THEY PUT THEIR SIGNAGE, AS THE COOPERATOR IN THIS AGREEMENT WE ARE STILL ON THE HOOK FOR THE RESTROOMS, LIGHTING AND THE ANCILLARY FACILITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE BOAT RAMPS. THEY'RE FOCUSING ON THE BOAT RAMP ITSELF.

WE ARE RECEIVING THE QUOTES FOR RESTRIPING. >> THANK YOU.

>> THESE ARE ALREADY PUBLIC FACILITIES? WE ARE REALLY NOT CHANGING

ANYTHING TO SPEAK OF. IS THERE ANY HOOKS TO US? >> NONE THAT I CAN SEE, SIR.

ONLY THAT YOU HAVE TWO, FOR 20 YEARS, BY OFFICIAL RECORD A SITE DEDICATION FORM.

STATING THAT WE WILL KEEP IT AS PUBLIC USE AND THEY WILL CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THESE BOAT

RAMPS FOR US. >> CONSENT? >> YES.

[22. Alfland, Inc. Lease for Supervisor of Elections Facilities]

>> ITEM 21 IS CONSENT. ITEM 22, I THINK IT'S BEEN DIFFERED, IS THAT CORRECT

COURTNEY? >> WE DO NOT HAVE THE ACTUAL AGREEMENT READY FOR YOU TO REVIEW. WE WOULD LIKE TO BRING IT DIRECTLY TO THE BOARD.

JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACKGROUND, WHAT WE ARE WORKING ON HIS AN AMENDMENT TO THE LEASE FOR THE SUPERVISOR OF ELECTION FACILITIES. THE SUPERVISOR OF ELECTION HAS REQUESTED CERTAIN IMPROVEMENTS TO THE FACILITIES SUCH AS ADDITIONAL MEZZANINE SQUARE FOOTAGE, HVAC IMPROVEMENTS, ADDITIONAL LIGHTING AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PARKING LOT.

WE ARE STILL WORKING ON FINESSING THOSE TERMS AND THE AMENDMENTS THAT THE COUNTY MANAGER HAS BEEN IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE LANDLORD. WE JUST NEED TO FINE-TUNE THE AMENDMENT WITH COUNSEL FOR THE LANDLORD. DUE TO THE SUPERVISOR WOULD LIKE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS TO BE COMMENCED PRETTY SOON. WE WOULD JUST LIKE TO BE ABLE TO

BRING THAT DIRECTLY TO THE BOARD NEXT WEEK. >> IT'S THE SAME FACILITY?

>> SAME FACILITY. >> HOW MUCH MORE MONEY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

>> SO -- IT IS NOT THE SAME. IT WAS -- THE TERMS BEFORE WERE FROM APRIL 1, 2013 TO MARCH 31, 2021. WE MAINTAIN APRIL 1, 2021 START. THE ANNUAL RENT INCREASES FROM

[00:45:08]

110,000 AND UP TO 135,000. THAT IS GUARANTEED FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS.

THAT IS KEY AND CRITICAL. THE NEXT THING IS THOSE IMPROVEMENTS THAT COURTNEY JUST BRIEFED, THE MEZZANINE, THE THOSE THREE ARE SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO THE SUPERVISOR ELECTION THAT WOULD NEED FOUR REQUIREMENTS FOR BILINGUAL BALLOTS, ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT AND THOSE TYPE OF THINGS FOR THE SPACE. IT DOES ADD SPACE IN THE MEZZANINE, APPROXIMATELY 1200 SQUARE FEET. THE ADDITIONAL PARKING AREA, THIS WAS SOMETHING TO NEGOTIATE. WE JUST BASICALLY GOT DONE. IT HAS A HUMP TO IT.

IT HAS A SLAB THAT WAS THERE THE BUILDING COULD BE BUILT UPON. I NEGOTIATED WITH THEM JUST TO PREPARE THE AREA, LEVEL IT AND GET IT DONE RIGHT SO THAT THERE IS PARKING THAT IS THERE.

THERE WAS SOME REQUEST BY THEM, BY THE LANDLORD TO PAY A FEE FOR THEM NOT TO BUILD THEIR.

I JUST SAID WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE PARKING LOT READ ON. AGREED TO THAT.

DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR DOES ADD UP, AND I HAD IT HERE JUST A MINUTE AGO.

MAYBE COURTNEY HAS IT. $182,252. WHAT I NEGOTIATED THERE WITH THE LANDLORD WAS FIVE YEARS THE COUNTY WOULD PAY BACK DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR NO INCREASE, AT ALL.

BASICALLY AT 0% INTEREST TO PAY THAT $182,000 FOR FIVE YEARS. ONCE THE FIVE-YEAR MARK HIT THEN OUR RENT GOES DOWN. OUR RENT GOES DOWN TO THE $135,000 PER YEAR.

WE ARE BASICALLY PAYING FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS AT NO ADDITIONAL COST TO WHAT WERE REQUIRED.

>> NUMBER 22 SAYS $110,000, WHAT IS THAT? >> THAT WAS THE PREVIOUS ONE.

WE WILL HAVE $110,000 UNTIL APRIL 1 OF A 2021. IT DOES NOT -- THE NORMAL RENT IS NOT GO UP UNTIL APRIL 1, 2021. THE RENT WILL GO UP UPON THE FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH AFTER COMPLETION OF THE UPGRADES OF THE MEZZANINE, HVAC, LIGHTING AND PARKING LOT. THREE TO FOUR MONTHS FROM NOW, I THINK, THE SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS IS OUT THERE. I THINK HE WANTS IT DONE BY FEBRUARY, AT THE LATEST, IF I REMEMBER RIGHT. THAT IS THE SENSE OF URGENCY ON IT TO GET THAT WORK DONE

QUICKLY. >> THIS IS $135,000 PER YEAR? >> A YEAR.

YES, SIR. >> ALL RIGHT. >> AS PART OF THOSE IMPROVEMENTS

THERE WAS NOT A JACUZZI ON THEIR LIST, WAS THERE? >> NOT AT ALL.

[LAUGHTER] >> I SEE OUR ESTEEM SUPERVISOR HERE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE ANY

COMMENTS OR? >> I FEEL THE NEED TO DEFEND MY HONOR.

>> WHERE IS THE YOGA MAT GOING? >> AND MY SHOWER. [LAUGHTER] THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT, GIVEN THE GROWTH AND THE ADDITIONAL POLLING LOCATIONS THAT WILL BE ADDING. IN ORDER FOR US TO STAY AT THIS FACILITY BEYOND OUR CURRENT LEASE IS GOING TO REQUIRE GROWTH IN THE WAREHOUSE IN THE MEZZANINE AREA.

IT REALLY CAME DOWN TO THE COUNTY MANAGER DID A MASTERFUL JOB AT NEGOTIATION.

A REALLY CAME DOWN TO OUR MAIN OFFICE HAS TO BE IN A COUNTY C. THAT IS GREEN COVE SPRINGS.

WE WOULD HAVE TO LOOK FOR A PIECE OF PROPERTY AND THEN MOVE OUR FACILITY, OR BUILD THE FACILITY HERE IN GREEN COVE SPRINGS AND NOT INTERRUPT THE PROCESS.

WE JUST CANNOT DO THAT. WE LIKE WHERE WE ARE. IT'S A GREAT FACILITY.

IT IS GOING TO REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SPACE FOR US TO CONTINUE TO STAY THERE.

>> MAIN OFFICE HAS TO BE HERE BUT ALL OF YOUR STUFF DOESN'T, RIGHT?

>> NO. YOU CAN MOVE THE WAREHOUSE TO ANOTHR FACILITY AND STAFF THAT SO YOU'RE GOING TO THEN PAY OVERHEAD AND STAFF IN COMMUNICATIONS AND ALL OF THE THINGS THAT GO ALONG WITH THAT. NOT TO MENTION THE AMOUNT OF TWO-PERSON CONTROL IN SECURITY WHEN YOU BRING IN THE BALLOTS FROM A WAREHOUSE LOCATION TO THE CENTRAL COUNT FACILITY WHICH WOULD BE IN OUR OFFICE. WE LOOKED AT THIS EVERY WHICH WAY AN OUR INITIAL TERM TRYING

[00:50:06]

TO FIND A FACILITY. REALLY THIS IS THE MOST INEXPENSIVE WAY -- NOTICE I DID NOT SAY CHEAP -- IT IS THE MOST INEXPENSIVE WAY FOR US TO MEET ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS AND

STATE STATUTES. >> CHRIS, I UNDERSTAND YOU WILL BE COMING BACK TO SEE US IN

REGARDS TO SOME ADDITIONAL EARLY VOTING SITES IS THAT CORRECT? >> WE HAVE BEEN CONTACTED RECENTLY BY ST. JOHNS RIVER STATE COLLEGE AT THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE AN EARLY VOTING SITE THERE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF VOTERS, INDIVIDUALS WHO LIVE IN THE LANDING AREA, NORTH OF MIDDLEBURG, SOUTH OF ORANGE PARK , REALLY DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN EARLY VOTING. I THINK THE PRIMARY REASON FOR IT IS BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO EITHER DID DRIVE TO MIDDLEBURG, OAK LEAF, ORANGE PARK, WE REALLY WOULD LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL EARLY VOTING SITE. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT BETWEEN 60-70% OF THE VOTE HAPPENS PRIOR TO ELECTION DAY.

>> MAKE YOUR BEST CASE AND COME BACK AND CS. >> I WILL DO THAT, SIR.

1020 THANK YOU. >> MR. CHAIRMAN, I'VE TALKED TO THE SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS ABOUT THE COST, THE ADDED COST THAT AN EXTRA SITE WILL BE AND WE WILL START FIGURING THAT OUT

IN THE BUDGET FOR THAT. >> OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

WE ARE DEFERRING ITEM 2244 PRESENTATION TO THE NEXT BOARD MEETING, IS THAT CORRECT DRIVE

[23. Second Renewal of Agreement #2017/2018-28 with Change Healthcare Technology Enabled Services, LLC f/k/a PST Services, LLC]

MOVING ON TO 23. SECOND RENEWAL OF AGREEMENT CHALLENGE HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY

ENABLED SERVICES. >> HELLO. THIS IS OUR SECOND RENEWAL FOR OUR EMS RESCUE BILLING CONTRACT. WE HAD AN INITIAL ONE-YEAR WITH TWO ONE-YEAR RENEWALS.

THIS WILL BE THE SECOND. NEXT YEAR WE WILL GO OUT FOR OUR FEE TO PUT THIS BACK OUT THERE.

>> IS ORANGE PARK USED THE SAME SERVICE? >> WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE

USING. >> WE ARE NOT DOING THEIR BILLING ANYMORE THOUGH; IS THAT

CORRECT? >> NO. AS OF OCTOBER 1.

>> THIS IS JUST FOR OUR EMS BILLINGS? >> THAT IS CORRECT.

>> WANT DO WE PAY THEM LAST YEAR >> WE PAID THEM $212,000. OUR PREVIOUS BILLING COMPANY HAD 3.5, WE ARE CURRENTLY AT $4.2 MILLION THAT THEY HAVE COLLECTED.

THEY HAVE DONE A VERY GOOD JOB FOR US. >> ANY IDEA WHAT KIND OF VOLUMES THOSE PEOPLE WORK OUT -- WORK AT? $216,000 THAT IS A LOT OF BILLS

I AM THINKING. >> THEY BUILD OUT $9.2 MILLION IN BILLING, WE HAVE COLLECTED $4.2 MILLION AND THAT IS BASED ON CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCES WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES AND, YOU

KNOW, THE RATE OF WHAT MEDICARE PAYS AND SUCH. >> DO YOU KNOW THE PERCENTAGE OF

COLLECTION? >> I DO. SO, FOR THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR FOR COMMERCIAL I HAVE COLLECTED 25%. THEY HAVE 6.2% THAT THEY HAVE COLLECTED FROM MEDICAID. 68.7 THEY HAVE HAD A COLLECTION RATE FOR MEDICARE AND SELF PAY IS A SMALL AMOUNT. THEY HAVE DONE A VERY GOOD JOB FOR US.

>> IS THIS HIGHER THAN INDUSTRY AVERAGE? >> I THINK IT IS ABOUT --

>> IT IS SPECIFIC TO THE COST PER TRANSPORT. I DON'T HAVE THAT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. THAT IS INCREASED SINCE WE'VE HAD THIS COMPANY.

IT HAS TO DO WITH THE COST PER TRANSPORT. >> THE FACT THAT WE ARE NOT DOING ORANGE PARK WE CAN'T TO OUT IN A LOWER RATE SINCE THERE IS LESS TRANSACTIONS?

>> IT IS DONE BASED ON PERCENTAGE OF COLLECTIONS SO WE FLUCTUATE WITHOUT.

THE OVERALL AMOUNT. >> THE WAY THEY GET PAID AS A PERCENTAGE OF WHAT THEY COLLECT.

IT'S REALLY NOT 216. >> IT IS A SELF SOLVING PROBLEM. >> I GOT IT.

[00:55:02]

>> WE HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFIED WITH OUR SERVICE. >> THEY HAVE A LOT OF INCENTIVE

TO COLLECT A LOT OF MONEY. >> THAT LEAVES US TO THE POINT WHERE WE HAVE COLLECTED ONE

PERCENTAGE OF THE TOTAL BILL. >> AGAIN, RIGHT. ALSO IT'S NOT A MONEY MAKING

BUSINESS. >> I AM NOT TRYING TO PRETEND IT IS.

I GET A LOT OF CALLS SAYING HEY, WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR AMBULANCE SERVICE AFTER THIS COMES OUT OF MY TAXES? PART OF THE ANSWER IS, WE ARE ONLY COLLECTING 40% OF WHAT WE BUILT. SOMEBODY HAS TO PAY FOR THE REST OF IT SO WE COME OUT IN ONE

PIECE. >> IT SEEMS LIKE I REMEMBER ORANGE PARK, DURING THE TRANSITION TIME FRAME, OR THE YEAR BEFORE THEY FIGURED THEY WERE PLANNING ON COLLECTING

80-90%, WHICH I DON'T THINK WE WILL EVER SEE. >> I GUESS WE WILL SEE HOW THAT

GOES. >> WE WILL PLACE OUT ON CONSENT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MOVING ON TO THE COUNTY MANAGER. >> YES, SIR. I PROVIDED A PROJECT UPDATE,

[24. County Project Update]

JUST STANDING BY FOR QUESTIONS. JAMES AND DANNY ARE BOTH HERE. I CAN GIVE YOU A QUICK DATE ON ALL PARK WITH REGARDS TO THE DUGOUT. I KNOW IT HAS RECEIVED A LOT OF ATTENTION. I WENT OUT TO COME ON FRIDAY, I WENT OUT AND PERSONALLY INSPECTED IT WITH JAMES BEFORE. BUT THEN I DID MEET WITH DALE CARTER.

MR. CARTER, AND I AND THE CHIEF RODE AROUND AND LOOKED AT THE ADDITIONAL SITES.

WE DID LOOK AT OMEGA PARK. THE CONTRACTOR IS BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT WAS INSUFFICIENTLY COMPLETED OUT THERE. THERE ARE OTHER AREAS OUT THERE THAT HAVE CHECKLIST OF ITEMS TO REPAIR AT OMEGA PARK IN ADDITION TO WHAT IS IN YOUR POCKET.

THERE ARE OTHER ITEMS THAT MR. CARTER SHOWED ME. I HAVE TALKED TO THE STAFF ABOUT MANY OF THOSE ITEMS. TO IMPROVE THE PROCESS TO TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE AREAS THAT WE CAN IMPROVE ON WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND GET BETTER OVERALL. THAT IS ALL I HAVE PENDING ANY

QUESTIONS. >> KAYAK LAUNCHES. THE KAYAK, THE CAMP AND CHILD

KAYAK IS NOT, RIGHT? >> YES, THE ADDITIONAL MONEY YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE, RIGHT

WE ARE LOOKING AT APRIL. >> WHAT IS THE LATEST ON THE GUN RANGE?

>> I HAVE THE PROPOSAL TO DO A WORK ORDER TO GET THE MASTER PLAN CONCEPT DONE.

I'LL HAVE TO SUBMIT THAT AGAINST THE EXISTING CONTINUING SERVICES CONTRACT AREA -- CONTRACT.

WE GET THAT PROPOSAL THROUGH AND GET A WORK ORDER WE CAN GET THEM WORKING ON THAT MASTER PLAN.

>> OKAY. BEFORE OUR NEXT UPDATE, RIGHT? >> I WILL TRY, SIR.

[LAUGHTER] >> ATLANTIS AND CHALLENGER, THERE WAS LIKE $3 MILLION I THINK, FROM THE STATE, THAT TO THOSE FRONTAGE ROADS. I HAD ASKED BEFORE WHAT WE WERE GOING TO SPEND THAT ON AND SOMEBODY WAS SUPPOSED TO GET BACK TO ME AND TELL ME WHAT THAT

WAS ABOUT. >> ATLANTIS AND CHALLENGER, IT'S NOT THE FRONTAGE ROAD IT IS THAT KEN SMALLWOOD ROAD THAT GOES INTO THE PROPERTY. WE ARE WAITING ON THE CORE OF ENGINEERS. WE HAVE RECEIVED FINAL PLANS FOR REVIEW.

WE ARE CHECKING THOSE. AS SOON AS WE GET OUR CORPS OF ENGINEERS PERMIT WE CAN WRITE MITIGATION THAT IS REQUIRED FOR BOTH THE CORE AND MANAGEMENT DISTRICT.

>> WE STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE FERMENT -- PERMIT FROM THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS?

>> WE HAVE NOT. >> CAN IS SUPPOSED TO BE PUSHING THAT?

>> I MEAN, I HAVE MY CONSULTANT BASICALLY CALLING THE CORE, SENDING E-MAILS ON A WEEKLY BASIS. THEY ARE AS SHORTSTAFFED AS ANYBODY ELSE.

THEY WERE IN THE PROCESS OF DELEGATING THEIR PERMIT AUTHORITY TO DEP.

[01:00:02]

SOMETHING STOPPED IN PROCESS. THE PROCESS OF THEM GOING THROUGH THE DELEGATION.

THEY HAVE THAT SAME VOLUME OF WORK WITH HALF THE STAFF THEY HAVE HAD IN THE PAST.

>> BACK TO THE ISSUE OF THE MONEY WE GOT FROM THE STATE TO ADDRESS THE FRONTAGE ROADS.

WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR THAT? >> WE'VE GOT TO GET A CONTRACT FIRST AND THEN RECOVER THE MONEY AND THEN WE WILL HAVE TO HIRE A CONSULTANT. WE WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE TOTAL FACILITY TO BASICALLY BREAK THE LIMITED ACCESS RIGHT OF WAY.

AND THEN WE WILL START ON THAT PROJECT IN EARNEST. >> IS THAT ON HERE AT ALL?

>> IT IS STATE 23 ACCESS ROAD. >> NO PAGE NUMBERS? HERE WE GO.

WHICH PAGE IS IT ON? >> 14 AND 15. >> EARMARKED 100.

IT'S ALL RIGHT THERE. >> THE DESIGN COMPLETE SHOULD BE JANUARY 2020 DEAL, CAN YOU

CONFIRM THAT? >> I'M LOOKING AT A DIFFERENT FILE THAN YOU HAVE.

THE MEETING SET WITH FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAY PATROL -- FLORIDA D.O.T.

WE TALK TO THEM. >> WE ARE WAITING ON THE CONTRACT BEFORE WE CAN COME UP

WITH ANY TIMELINES. >> D.O.T. IS PREPARING THE CONTRACT AND THEN WE WILL

ACQUIRE AN ENGINEER TO START THE DESIGN. >> DO WE HAVE A SCOPE?

>> IT IS BASICALLY A MILE OF ROADWAY. THAT IS OUR SCOPE.

IT IS AN ENTRANCE ROAD TO CANDLEWOOD DOUBLE THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT WHERE IT IS AT.

>> GOT LOTS OF COMPLAINTS OUT OF THERE. HE HAD A DRAWING TO.

WE CAN PROVIDE THE DRAWING TO YOU. >> OKAY.

>> AM JUST TRYING TO FIND OUT, GIVE ME SOME ELEVATOR TALKING POINTS, WHAT THE PROJECT INCLUDES. JUST AN IDEA WHERE IT STANDS AND WHAT IS NEXT TO DO ON IT.

BOTTOM RIDGE. WHERE ARE WE WITH THAT? >> IT IS SLOWLY MOVING ALONG.

WE HAVE HIT A COUPLE OF BUMPS WITH A FEW OF THE WATERLINES. WE HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THAT AND WE ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE SOME COMPLEX STRUCTURES ALREADY IN OUR PROJECT.

WE TO USE THEM AND THEN WE WILL CATCH UP LATER ON. IT IS STILL PROGRESSING.

WE ARE STILL LOOKING AT NEXT YEAR BEFORE WE FINISH ALL OF THE DRAINAGE WORK AND RESURFACING.

>> DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WORKING ON THAT IS THERE AN ISSUE OR SOMETHING?

>> OKAY. >> I WILL GET WITH YOU LATER. THEY'LL COME ON PAGE 14, ITEM TWO, ENGINE IMPROVEMENTS ON GREEN RIVER STATION. IS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE?

>> NO, THAT IS A SEPARATE PROJECT. WE HAVE BEEN IN WITH FEMA.

HOMES THAT IS FOURTH ONE. >> ANY UPDATE ON THOSE FOR US? >> WE HAVE ONE GRANT WE HAVE BEEN FORWARDED A CONTRACT FOR JUST THE DESIGN THAT IS IN REVIEW NOW.

HOPEFULLY YOU WILL SEE THAT AT THE NEXT FINANCE COMMITTEE IF OUR CONTRACTOR FEELS GOOD AND WE CAN FORWARD IT ALONG. WE ONLY HAVE ONE OUT OF FOUR AT THIS POINT.

THAT IS WHY WE ARE DOING THESE THIS GO INSTEAD OF COMMITTING ALL THE MONEY FOR THE ENTIRE PROJECT. THEY ARE DOING THE DESIGN FIRST IS ONE PHASE AND THEN THE

CONSTRUCTION AND SEPARATE PHASES. >> I NEED TO SEE AFTERWARDS

PLEASE. >> DID WE HAVE A 3:30 P.M. TIME CERTAIN?

>> IT WAS AT 3:30 P.M. OR SOON THEREAFTER. >> WHAT COMMITTEE WAS THAT?

>> TO REVIEW THE REQUEST FOR PUBLIC CONVENIENCE. >> ANY FINAL COMMENTS?

[01:05:11]

>> NO, SIR. >> OKAY. >> REAL QUICK.

I KEEP DWELLING ON THREE, FOUR, AND FIVE. I DIDN'T GIVE YOU A VERY GOOD ANSWER. I WAS THINKING ABOUT IT AFTERWARDS.

HE PROBABLY WANTED TO KNOW SPECIFICALLY WHAT AN UNDERWRITER DID AND SET OF REQUIRING TO HAVE THE BYLAW. THE UNDERWRITER IS THE GUY WHO IS GOING TO BUY THE BONDS AND HE IS GOING TO RESELL THEM ON THE MARKET SO YOU CAN GET ALL OF YOUR MONEY UP FRONT THAT HE'S GOING RESELL THEM ON THE MARKET AND REAP HIS PROFITS ON HIS MARKET INTEREST RATES WILL CHANGE. HE WILL SELL THEM AND PUT THE MONEY IN HIS OWN POCKET.

THE BOND COUNSEL ITSELF, IS REQUIRED BY LAW TO HAVE AN OUTSIDE COUNSEL THAT WILL PRY INTO THE TAX-EXEMPT STATUS OF THE BONDS ARE ONE AND THAT THEY HAVE ISSUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FEDERAL AND LAW. THAT IS THE REASON WHY THE LAW REQUIRES IT.

THE FINANCIAL ADVISOR IS THE GUY THAT WAS SET AROUND AND TELL YOU , YOU KNOW WHAT THE BEST FORM OF THE BONDS IS TO ISSUE. STRAIGHT DEBT, OR MATURITY, OR WHAT THE TERM SHOULD BE.

HOW MUCH YOU SHOULD BORROW. HE'S GOING TO DO AN ASSESSMENT OF YOUR BONDING CAPACITY.

HE IS THE GUY THAT WILL BE THE MOST IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO HIGHER UP FRONT.

DOES THAT MAKE IT ANY CLEARER? >> SOMEWHAT.
