COMMISSIONER ALEXANDRA COMPERE AND COMMISSIONER BETSY CONDON. ALL IN FAVOR SAY, "AYE".

>> AYE. >> ANY OPPOSED? . COMMISSIONER? >> YES, ITEM 5. I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RFP AS IT SPECIFIES CONTRACTOR TO ONLY REMOVE SOME OF THE TREES WITHIN THE AREAS AND BASIC BID AREA AND THE FIVE ALTERNATE AREAS. WHAT THE RFP AN ELUDES TO IS ANY TRY WHICH IS LESS THAN FOUR INCHES OF DIAMETER WILL REMAIN THERE. THE CONTRACTOR IS NOT GOING TO REMOVE THEM OR IS NOT GOING TO BE PAID TO REMOVE THEM. I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY THAT. ALSO, THE COST. WHO'S BEARING THE COST. I KNOW WE HAVE A GRANT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE COST OF THE

PROJECT. >>YES, SIR. I HAVE RICHARD HERE. JUST TO GIVE A LITTLE HISTORY, BACK IN MAY 2025, WE ENTERED INTO AN INTER LOCAL WITH THE CITY AND AT THAT TIME THEY WERE GOING TO HANDLE THE BID OF THE PROJECT AND AT THAT TIME WE HAD AN APPLICATION OR ASKING LEGISLATIVE TO SUPPORT US WITH $250,000 GRANT. THE CITY OF GREEN COVE WENT OUT TO BID AND GOT ONE BID BACK WHICH WAS $1,648,000 THAT WAS TO COVER ALL THE PRIORITY AREAS IN YOUR BACKUP. OF COURSE WE COULDN'T MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE NO ONE HAD THAT MUCH FUNDING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT. SINCE THAT TIME, WE HAVE RECEIVED THE GRANT AT THE TIME OF DECEMBER 10TH. THE COUNTY ISSUED THE BID AT THE TIME TO SEE IF WE CAN GENERATE MORE INTEREST THROUGH OUR OPEN GOVER AND WE H THE FUNDING SOURCE. WE DID GET TWO BIDS. HAPPY TO SAY THE BIDS CAME IN A LITTLE BIT BETTER. WE HAD ONE BID AND A HIGH BID ABOUT KEYSTONE'S PRICE. WITH THE REBID, WE EVALUATED HOW TO GET THE PRICE DOWN WITH THIS COMMITTEE THAT YOU HEARD FROM THIS AFTERNOON DURING PUBLIC COMMENT. SO WITH THAT, IT WAS DECIDED TO LEAVE THOSE TREES AT THE SIZE AND WAS STILL IN THE PERMIT APPLICATION AND WHAT WE CAN DO FOR THE PROJECT. THE PROJECT SET UP TO HAVE VOLUNTEERS GO OUT ALSO. THAT IS PART OF THE AWARD WHERE WE ARE ACCEPTING SOME OF THE ALTERNATE PHASES AND HAVING VOLUNTEERS WITH THE OTHER PHASES TO REMOVE THE SMALLER TREES AND DO CLEAN UP AND WORKING WITH THE CITY OF KEYSTONE AND THE LAKERS. THEY HAVE THE SUPPORT TEAM AND WE FEEL OUR VOLUNTEERS TEAM CAN GO OUT TO DO THOSE.

>>I'M LOOKING AT SMALL TREES TOTAL OF SOME HUNDRED ACRES. THAT'S A LOT OF WORK FOR VOLUNTEERS. THE OTHER THING IS WE ARE WORKING WITH THE ENVIRONMENT HERE. IT'S NOT STATIC. IT'S DYNAMIC. THERE WILL BE TREES GROWING AND THE LAKERS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THE TARGET

FILL DATE? >> FOUR TO EIGHT YEARS? >> PROBABLY TWO TO THREE IS WHAT

WE ARE EXPECTING. >>YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME GROWTH DOING THAT IN A THREE YEAR. THIS GRANT IS GOING TO TAKE 3-4 MONTHS TO EXECUTE THIS CONTRACT.

>>POSSIBLY. >>WE HAVE TO GET THEM STARTED IN MARCH, MIDDLE OF MARCH.

>>THEN FOUR MONTHS. ANYWAY, WE ARE GOING TO GET GROWTH BETWEEN NOW AND TWO YEARS AND FOUR YEARS, WHATEVER IT IS. SO I GUESS WHAT HAPPENS THEN IS MY QUESTION?

>> ARE WE GOING TO CONTINUE TO CLEAN THE GROWTH?

>> I DON'T EXPECT THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO. KEEP IN MIND WHAT SCOTT SAID ABOUT THESE IN THE LAST 50 YEARS, THESE HAVE GROWN UP. WHAT WE ARE REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT IS THE FULL SIZE MATURE PINE TREES AND THEN FALLING AND BEING SO TALL. I RECOGNIZE THAT PINE TREES MATURE IN 12-15 YEARS, BUT

[00:50:06]

THAT'S NOT THE REAL ISSUE. CUTTING OFF, THE DENSITY AND THE LOCATION WITHIN THE BACKUP ESPECIALLY FROM THE COUNTY BOAT RAMP THAT WOULD CONNECT TO THE LARGE BIG GLOBE OF THE LAKE, THAT IS SO DENSE THAT BY CUTTING THAT, EVEN THE UNDER BRUSH, WE ALSO HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT AT SOME POINT ENGAGING THE WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. DOUG HAS BEEN A GREAT PARTNER. THE WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT LAND WHICH IS SOVEREIGN SUBMERGED LAND AND THEY DO THEIR OWN CONTROL BURNS.

TODAY THEY COULDN'T DO THAT. BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS LIKE THAT THAT COULD HELP THE FISH. LIKE GENEVA IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE BEST BASS FISH IN THE AREA AND ONE OF THE BEST BASS FISHING TOURNAMENT IN THERE, BUT WE COULDN'T ACCOMMODATE. THAT'S THE ONLY BOAT RAMP IN THAT AREA.

THERE IS A COUPLE OTHER AREAS OF DENSE TREES. >>THE OTHER THING IS THE TREES THAT WE ARE GOING TO CUT DOWN, WHOMEVER IS GOING TO CUT THEM DOWN, WE ARE GOING TO LEAVE THEM

ON-SITE AND BURN THEM? IS THAT THE PLAN? >> THEY WILL TAKE THE HARVEST THAT THEY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THEIR BID NUMBER AND SOME OF THE SMALLER, SOME OF THE TREES WOULD

BE RIGHT ON SITE. >>WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO. WHAT THE PERMIT REQUIRES IS THEY DON'T TAKE THE ROOTS OUT. THEY CUT IT AT GROUND LEVEL AND THEY ONLY WANT THE ONES THAT THEY CAN SELL FOR LUMBER THAT ARE WORTH SOMETHING. SO THEY ALSO HAVE TO LEAVE, EVEN IF THEY BOUURN --

ON-SITE, THEY HAVE TO LEAVE IT THE WAY THEY FOUND IT. >>TO CLARIFY, THE FUNDING, WE

HAVE A $250,000 GRANT TO COVER THE WHOLE COST. >>THE COUNTY HAS $404,467, LEFT

IN THE BUDGET. >>YOU FOUND SOME MONEY. >>IT'S BEEN THERE. AND WE HAVE THE $250,000 GRANT. WE WERE EXCITED TO HEAR THAT KEYSTONE LAST MONDAY AT THEIR BOARD MEETING APPROVED A PLAN OF $41,000, TOWARDS THE PROJECT. SPEAKING OF THE BASS FISHING AND THINGS THAT THIS OPPORTUNITY MAY HAVE, WE DO PLAN TO APPROACH THE TDC ON MARCH 4TH AND ASK IF THEY WILL SUPPORT THE LAST TWO PHASES OF THE PROJECT. ALSO THE FIFTH PHASE AREA 5 WOULD BENEFIT BRADFORD. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THEM AS WELL. SO MOVING FORWARD T WAY THE AWARD IS SET UP, IS THAT WE WOULD -- BE ABLE TO ISSUE TASK ORDERS. SO WE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THE FIRST THREE TASK ORDERS WITH THE FUNDING WE HAVE. IF THE TDC DOESN'T APPROVE OR BRADFORD OR WE COULDN'T DO THE LAST THREE PRIORITY AREAS, WE AT LEAST ACCOMPLISHED SOME OF THE

PROJECT. >>ALSO, SILVER LAKERS HAS MONEY THAT THEY -- HAS YOUR BOARD VOTED? THE BOARD HAS NOT VOTED YET, BUT THEY HAVE MONEY THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE BOARD TO VOTE, WHICH ALL OF THEM ARE HERE TO PUT TOWARDS THE PROJECT AS WELL. THE ONE SHE TALKED ABOUT, PROJECT 5 IS THREE ACRES. IT'S COMPLETELY IN BRADFORD COUNTY. I REMEMBER AS A TEENAGER, NOT TOO FAR BACK FROM THAT, BUT I REMEMBER LAKE GENEVA BEING FULL. AT ANY RATE, I NEVER REMEMBER THAT LOW CONNECTING. IT WOULD BE A BONUS FOR THOSE PE PEOPLE. IF BRADFORD DOESN'T WANT TO, THEY CAN CONNECT WITH OUR PERMIT WITH RICHARDSON.

>>I WANT TO SUMMARIZE, THIS IS A HUGE PROJECT AND THIS GOES BACK YEARS. YOU KICKED THE PROJECT OFF AND IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE COORDINATION COLLABORATION WITH NUMEROUS COUNTIES AND I SEE COMMISSIONER, COUNCIL MEMBER LUDWIG BACK THERE AND IN THE FIRST SEVERAL MEETINGS, YOU ARE DOING SOME GOOD WORK DOWN THERE. BUT IT'S NOT THE END. WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO TO GET BACK TO

[00:55:04]

WHERE WE WANT TO. IT'S GOING TO TAKE CONTINUED EFFORTS ON EVERYBODY'S PART. WITH THAT, I

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

>>I JUST ECHO COMMISSIONERS SENTIMENT. ON A VERY COLD MARCH DAY, THREE YEARS AGO WERE OUT ON THE LAKE BED AND UTV, AND I CONVINCED HER TO RIDE WITH ME. SHE WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN AND SHE WAS COMPLETELY SOAKED. SHE SET IF WE DON'T APPROVE IT TONIGHT, SHE MIGHT CRY. I DON'T WANT HER TO CRY, BUT IT'S BEEN A LONG JOURNEY. SOME PEOPLE MAY HAVE NEGATIVE THINGS TO SAY. WE ARE UNDER A DROUGHT. WE ARE 17 INCHES BELOW. DOUG TALKED ABOUT IT IN HIS COMMENTS. SOME PEOPLE MAY SAY WE ARE FOOLISH TO DO THIS. IT IS ACTUALLY A GOOD TIME TO DO THIS BECAUSE WHEN WE STARTED THIS SIX MONTHS AGO WHEN JAMIE STARTED THIS FOR US, WE WERE IN A RACE AGAINST TIME.

WATER WAS FLOWING IN AND WHAT THE CONTRACTOR SAID IN THE PREBID IS THEY WOULDN'T REMOVE THE TREES FROM THE WATER. SO IT'S REALLY A GOOD TIME WHILE IT'S DRY TO DO IT CORRECTLY AND

NOT HAVE ANY ILL EFFECTS. ANYWAY. I JUST THANK YOU. >>CAN I ADD ONE COMMENT? IT'S

TWICE AS EXPENSIVE TO HAVE THE TIMBER REMOVED IN WATER. >>THANK YOU TO EVERYONE INVOLVED. COUNCILWOMAN, THAT'S GREAT APPROPRIATION. I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE ENTIRE TDC, BUT FILLING THE LAKE IS HUGE FOR THE COUNTY. FOR THE COUNTY AS A WHOLE, THAT GIVES US A WHOLE OTHER, I SEE TEDDY MYERS. COME UP FOR US. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE COMMUNITY TO UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT THIS PROJECT IS AND THE ECONOMIC IMPACTS IT COULD HAVE MOVING

FORWARD FOR OUR COMMUNITY TOO. >>GOOD AFTERNOON. JUST TO ECHO SENTIMENTS. WE HAVE HOSTED THIS OVER THE YEARS. WE HAVE GROUPS THAT ARE LOOKING AT POSSIBLE TRIATHLONS AND BIKING AND ROAD EVENTS. JUST ON THE PERIPHERY WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE OVERALL PROJECT, THOSE ARE SMALL THINGS AND WE DON'T HAVE A TIMELINE FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN. FOR THE CROWN JEWEL IN MY OPINION, YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT CAN CREATE IMPACT, BUT KEEP THE RESIDENTS WITH THE ABILITY TO

MAINTAIN THEIR LIVELIHOOD AND QUALITY OF LIFE. >>COUNCILMAN, COME ON UP.

>>THANK YOU GUYS. I DON'T WANT TO TAKE TOO MUCH OF YOUR TIME. A LOT OF THE POINTS HAVE BEEN MADE. THANK YOU TO THE TEAM WHO HAVE BEEN ON THIS FOR A LONG TIME. I HAVE KNOWN YOU FOREVER AND WHY I HAVE MY RED SHIRT ON AS WELL. WE DO GET SEVERALLY NATIONALLY TELEVISED EVENTS THAT TAKE PLACE ON THE LAKE. HAVING THE AREA CLEARED IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO THE POINT THAT COMMISSIONER CONDON HAS MADE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET TO THE LAKE AREA IN CLAY COUNTY.

ONE OF THE CONCERNS, WE TALKED PREVIOUSLY ABOUT SOME FUNDING. THIS CITY, SHOUT OUT TO COMMISSIONER BETSY CONDON. THE CITY COMMITTED ALMOST $4 MILLION TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. THE COMMUNITIES SUPPORT IS TREMENDOUS. THE LOCAL RESIDENTS CAN SPEAK TO IT. THAT'S HOW MUCH THIS PROJECT MEANS TO US. THE LAST THING I WILL SAY TO BENEFIT THE COUNTY. THE PROPERTIES SITTING ON GENEVA, ROUGHLY 300 ARE IN THE UNINCORPORATED CLAY COUNTY. RIGHT NOW THOSE THAT HAVE TAKEN A HIT, THE PROPERTY VALUES ARE DOWN SO THE INCREASED WATER LEVEL TO HELP PROPERTY VALUES AND WILL ALSO HELP THE COUNTY AND BENEFIT IN THE PLONG THIS UNDER CONSIDERATION.

>>COMMISSIONER CONDON? >> COMMISSIONER BETSY CONDON: WE JUST HAD A REALLY NICE SESSION AND NOW I'M GOING T POUR COLD WATER ON IT. I TOOK SYMOME TIMEO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON HERE AND ABOUT THE PROGRAM THAT IS SO MUCH MONEY AND THE ONE ROAD IN MY DISTRICT, COUNTY ROAD 218, WHICH IS THE ONLY ROAD OF DEFICIENCY IN THE COUNTY. THE PROJECT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY CUT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY AND NOW WE HAVE A FINE OF A MILLION DOLLARS MORE. ED TOLD ME THIS WAS IN THE BUDGET AND I SAID THERE IS A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE AND HE EXPLAINED IT ALL TO ME. IF ANYONE WANTS TO COME UP TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOU, HE WILL. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED. THIS IS NOT A KNOCK ON MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS AND EVERYONE OF US FIGHT FOR OUR DISTRICT. BUT I FIGHT EVERY DAY THAT DISTRICT 4, CITIZENS SAY IT'S THE STEP CHILD. I SAY NO, THIS IS DIFFERENT. YOU DID. YOU SUPPORTED PROJECTS IN OUR DISTRICT. BUT THEY LOOK AT THIS, U.S. 17 TOUCHES THREE DISTRICTS SO IT GETS THREE VOTES WHEN THINGS ARE REQUESTED THAT FEED INTO IT. AND NOTHING TOUCHES 218 EXCEPT FOR DISTRICT 4. I JUST KEEP HEARING, BUT WE DON'T MATTER. 218 WIDENING HAS BEEN GOING ON. CARLOS TOLD US AT ONE OF OUR LAST MEETINGS SINCE 1994.

IT'S 2026. SO WHEN RESIDENTS OF DISTRICT FOUR SAY THE COUNTY DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THEM, WE SHOW IT IN THESE KINDS OF THINGS. I GET IT. I SAID TO ED. THE BONDED TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM, NOT ONE OF THE FIVE OF US VOTED FOR IT. NOT ONE OF US. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A FIVE YEAR PROGRAM. IT'S NOW GOING INTO IT'S SEVENTH YEAR. IT'S NOW KNOCKING ON THE DOOR AT $180 MILLION. IF YOU COMMUTE ON COUNTY ROAD 218, YOU SAY WHY DON'T YOU HAVE THE MONEY AND WHY COULDN'T YOU WIDEN WHAT YOU SAID YOU WERE AND WE ARE DOING ABOUT HALF OF WHAT WAS SAID. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED. I DON'T KNOW THAT I CAN SUPPORT THIS. I JUST WANTED TO SHARE MY FRUSTRATION AND SPEAK ON BEHALF OF MY RESIDENTS. I DON'T USE 218 EVERY DAY TO COMMUTE. BUT SO MANY OF MY CONSTITUENCY DOES AND

OUR EMPLOYEES DO. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT. >>ED, CAN YOU COME UP, PLEASE? ONE OF MY ISSUES WITH THIS ITEM, I HAVE HEARD THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES THAT DOT HAS CONTRIBUTED

FUNDS. HOW DOES THAT PLAY INTO THIS? >> ED, TRANSPORTATION. FROM THE VERY INCEPTION, THE BOND PROGRAM WAS ROUGHLY $130 MILLION, AND THEN YOU HAVE INTEREST ON TOP OF THAT, WHICH ROLLS UP TO $134 MILLION. AS WE STARTED DOWN THE PROCESS OF IMPLEMENTING THEIR PROGRAM, THE DIFFERENT ROADS WERE IDENTIFIED FOR DESIGN AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THOSE ROADS. SO THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PROCESS, WE HAD TO IDENTIFY WHAT IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED TO BE MADE ON THOSE ROADS WORKING WITH ENGINEERING, WE ROLLED OUT THE ENTIRE PROGRAM AS THE YEARS ROLLED ON AND THE PRICE OF ASPHALT WAS MORE EXPENSIVE AND WOULD BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD WITH THE VARIOUS CHANGES. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THE $134 MILLION TO $179 MILLION, WHICH IS THE

BUDGET FOR ALL THE PROJECT. >>MY POINT, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S MORE RESEAICHARD IF HE WOULD BE INVOLVED, OVER THE PROCESS. I'M NOT PUTTING YOU IN THE PROCESS FOR THE EXACT DOLLAR AMOUNT.

DOES THE STATE GIVE US MONEY FOR THIS PROCESS. >>THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PROCESS, THERE IS VARIOUS FUNDING STREAMS. THE BOND IS PART OF THAT STREAM WHERE FDOT WHERE WE

[01:05:02]

STARTED THIS PROJECT CONCEPTUALIZING WITH FDOT AND THEY SAW THE IMPORTANCE OF THE TIE INS AND AT ONE POINT $1 MILLION WAS CONTRIBUTED TO 209. OUT OF THE VARIOUS ITEMS IN THIS CHANGE ORDER STHAT IS ON THE DOCKET FOR APPROVAL THIS EVENING, THERE WERE SOME ITEMS THAT WERE STARTED FOR DESIGN AND ON OUR ROADS AND FDOT SAID IN ORDER FOR TO US MAKE OUR IMPLEMENTATION, WE NEED YOU TO MODIFY A SIDEWALK OR PEDESTRIAN CROSSING. THIS IS KIND OF THE DELICATE WALK WE DO WITH FDOT, WE BUILD OUR PROJECT AND THEY BUILD THEIR PROJECT AND WORK THROUGH THE MODIFICATIONS AND CHANGES BETWEEN THE TWO PROJECTS.

>>IN NO WAY AM I SAYING IT'S AN EQUAL DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR AMOUNT. I ECHO YOUR FRUSTRATION FROM THE INFLATIONARY PRESSURES AS THE PROJECT HAS COMMENCED OVER SEVEN YEARS. WHEN YEAR ONE AND NOW PROBABLY DOUBLED THE COST IN THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS THAT IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. I JUST KNEW THERE WERE OTHER CONTRIBUTORS OTHER THAN JUST THE BTP DOLLARS ON THE FRONT END.

>>YES, SIR. VARIOUS FUNDING STREAMS FOR THE OVERALL PROGRAM. TO THE PROGRAM STARTED IN EARLY 2020 WHEN COVID ROLLED OUT WHICH IS A HUGE PROGRAM AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO GET THAT LARGE WHEEL SPINNING AND AT THE END OF 2020 IS WHEN THE PROGRAM REALLY STARTED ROLLING OUT. FOUR 1/2 YEARS LATER. WE HAD QUITE A BIT OF WORK DONE. DESIGNING WITH FDOT, THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TOOK US THAT WE HAVE DONE SO FAR, IT'S TAKEN THIS TIME AND THROUGH THIS PROGRAM WE TOUCHED OVER 240 VARIOUS PARCELS HAVING TO SET UP LICENSE AGREEMENTS, CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENTS, OUT RIGHT PURCHASES FOR THE VARIOUS EXPANSION. OF THE PROJECT, BUT WHEN WOULD - YOU SAY WE ARE GETTING TO A

POINT WHERE THE BUDGETING IS WHERE WE ARE GOING TO STOP? >> ESSENTIALLY THIS YEAR. YOU HAVE TWO MORE PROJECTS AND YOU WILL HEAR IN THE UPDATES. YOU HAVE TWO MORE PROJECTS, THE ONE THAT CIS IN COMMISSIONER CONDONS DISTRICT AND PROJECT TWO, ASSOCIATED WITH FINISHING UP AT

THE END OF THIS CALENDAR YEAR. >>COMMISSIONER? >> YES, I DON'T THINK THERE HAS BEEN ANY CONCERTED EFFORT TO SHORTCHANGE ANY DISTRICT, BUT BECAUSE WE'VE HAD TO VALUE ENGINEER AND A COUPLE DIFFERENT PROJECTS. I KNOW A ROUNDABOUT WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET. SAND RIDGE, CAN YOU TALK ABOUT MODIFICATIONS THAT WERE CUT BACK BECAUSE OF BUDGET?

>> THERE HASN'T BEEN REALLY CUTBACKS, BUT EVALUATING IT, WE SEND THE CONTRACTORS TO PUSH ON EACH OTHER WHEN WE HAVE THE CONCEPT OF 30% THAT IS THE LOVE OF HAVING BOTH ON BOARD BEFORE YOU GET TO A SET PRICE STRUCTURE TOWARDS THE END AT 90%. AT 30%, IS THERE SOMETHING DIFFERENT, CAN WE SHIFT THE ROAD A LITTLE BIT, AWAY FROM THIS COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, WHAT ABOUT THEPOND SI

AND WE DO EVALUATE THIS DURING THE PROCESS AT THE SAME TIME. >>MY POINT IS WE HAVE CUT OUT

OTHER PROJECTS, DOWN SIZED OTHER PROJECTS. >>I DON'T SPEAK FOR HIM, BUT TWO OTHER ROADS WE HAD TO LOOK AT ON 220, AND 315, WHICH WAS LET'S LOOK AT WHAT'S REALLY NEEDED NOW BASICALLY ON THE ROAD OF THE VEHICULAR COUNT, AND LET'S GO AHEAD AGAIN WORK ON THE REAL ESTATE AND THE DESIGN TO GET THIS PROJECT QUEUED UP FOR THOSE EXPANSION SO YOU ARE NOT STARTING FROM GROUND ZERO. YOU HAVE THE ROADWAY, THE DESIGN AND THE PROJECT READY TO GO.

>>THANK YOU. >>FOR THAT, MY COMMENT, THAT'S MY WHOLE POINT. THE PROJECT OF THE ONLY ROAD OF CRITICAL DEFICIENCY IN THE ENTIRE COUNTY IS 218. THE PROJECT WAS CUT IN HALF, WAS IT NOT? THERE WAS NO OTHER PROJECT CUT IN HALF, NONE. THERE WAS THE PROJECT WITH THE RUSSEL ROAD IN THE THIRD LANE IN THE MIDDLE, THEN RICHARD TOLD ME THAT TPO DID A STUDY AND SAID IT

[01:10:02]

WASN'T NEEDED AND WHY IT WAS CUT. SO THAT'S NOT TRUE WITH COUNTY ROAD 218.

>>IN 218 WE HAD THE DIFFICULTY UPFRONT. THE ORIGINAL DESIGN BUILT AND THE DESIGNER FAILED US, MICHAEL BAKER FAILED THE COUNTY AND WOULD NOT FINISH THE DESIGN AND WE HAD TO TAKE A STEP BACK AND AT THAT TIME, WE WEREN'T ABLE TO GET ANYTHING DONE BECAUSE OF THE TIME CONSTRAINTS WHICH IS THE MOST DIFFICULT PART FOR US AS WELL AS ESCALATING PRICES FOR ASPHALT AND OTHER COMMODITIES. WE REALLY HAD TO JUMP THROUGH A LOT OF HOOPS TO GET TO DESIGN THIS ON 218 AND GET THE LANE ABOUT A MILE OR SO OF THAT PROJECT COMPLETED.

>> FOR ME, I DID HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH STAFF AND IT'S HARD TO HAVE A CHANGE ORDER OF $2 MILLION. WHAT I THINK FRUSTRATES ME THE MOST, SETTING THE SIDE YOUR INFLATIONARY CONSTRAINTS OR THE CHANGES POST COVID. IT IS DIFFICULT TO JUSTIFY A $50 MILLION FOR ME THAT MAKES ME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. FOR THE SAKE OF THE PUBLIC IS CONSTANTLY CRITICIZING US BEING ABLE TO NAVIGATE THIS RESPONSIBILITY. IT'S NOT LOST TO ONE COMMISSIONER THAT THESE CHANGES ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. SO, I HAVE TO SAY THAT THANKS ARE IN ORDER TO COUNTY STAFF BECAUSE EVERY TIME I GET ONE OF THESE, AS MUCH AS I PUSHBACK AT OUR MEETINGS,

I'M ALWAYS ASSURED THAT THE STAFF IS OF ONE MIND, >>AAND WHERE WE CAN PUT PRESSURE, WE DO AND THOSE KNOW THAT WE ARE WATCHING THIS VERY CLOSELY AND VALUING THE RELATIONSHIPS BECAUSE I CAN'T MAKEOVER $50 MILLION IN CHANGES. WE HAD EXPECTATIONS AND EXPECTATIONS HAVE NOT BEEN MET. AND I THINK IT'S DISINGENUOUS TO CONTINUE TO BLAME COVID. I'M JUST GOING TO SAY. I DO NOT THINK THAT 2020 PRICES, YES, WE HAD SOME INFLATIONARY INCREASES, BUT TO SAY THAT A $50 MILLION INCREASE IS GOING TO BE COVID SPECIFIC AND ONLY COVID IS MISLEADING THE PUBLIC, AND I DON'T BUY IT. I DON'T BUY IT. I ALSO KNOW BAKED IN THERE SOMEWHERE ARE SOME OF THESE DIPUTES THAT YOU ARE GOING TO SHARE WITH US IN YOUR UPDATES.

THAT ALSO INCREASE THE COST. SO, FOR THE SAKE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING THESE CONVERSATIONS, I HOPE THAT THEY ARE UNDERSTANDING THAT WE ARE, WE ARE WATCHING IT, BUT I ECHO THE FRUSTRATION THAT HAVE BEEN CONVEYED HERE THIS AFTERNOON. I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF A HALF MILLION DOLLAR CHANGE ORDER. IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE ABOUT HOW UNCOMFORTABLE IT IS TO BE

DOING THAT ESPECIALLY TWO YEARS OVER DUE ON A PROJECT. >>IF I MAY, AS FAR AS ALIGNING A PRICE PAST COVID, AND TO BRING BACK THE $130 MILLION FOR THAT BUDGET AND HOW MUCH WORK WE CAN GET DONE FOR THAT VALUE. HAPPY AT THE END OF THE DAY IF YOU WANT TO DO MORE, OR ADD OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS. THIS IS THE ADDITIONAL COST TO THAT. AT ONE POINT WE WERE GIVEN A

[01:15:08]

HARD TURN AND ABLE TO FIND THE ADDITIONAL MONEY AND ABLE TO BUILD THE ROAD. IT WAS UNDERSTOOD THAT $50 MILLION WAS WORTH SIX MONTHS DELAY DUE TO COVID. THAT IS NOT MY INTENT. ON A FIVE YEAR PROGRAM, IT REALLY BECAME A FOUR YEAR PROGRAM. THAT CUT MY ABILITY TO MOVE IN FIVE YEARS. OUR FIVE YEAR MARK WAS TO SPEND 130. $129.4 MILLION IN FIVE YEARS. A LOT OF TIMES WITH A PROJECT, YOU GET A VOICE FOR BRINGING A PROJECT IN AND PLUS YOU HAVE TO SPEND MORE AND THAT

SPEND ON THE DAY. >> AG AGAIN, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE, I DIDN'T CONSTRUE THE COVID TO GO WITH $150 MILLION OVER BUDGET. TO ME, IT WAS NEVER OVER BUDGET. WE HAVE BEEN ON THE TARGET OF ADVERTISED BUDGET OF $179 MILLION FOR THE LAST 2-3 YEARS NOW. IT'S NOT ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WENT UP TO $150

MILLION. >>IF YOU LOOK AT PRICING FROM 2020 UNTIL NOW, THAT'S $130 MILLION TO $180 MILLION ABOUT A 72% INCREASE. THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS IN THE WORLD THAT HAVE INCREASED 72% SINCE 2020. IT'S VERY POSSIBLE. IT'S AT SCALE. IT SOUNDS UNTIL MILLIONS, BUT PERCENTAGE WISE IS A 72% INCREASE. THE ADDITIONAL DOLLARS THAT WERE NOT PART OF THE BONDED

TRANSPORTATION, DOES THAT COME FROM THE CIP? >> THERE IS MULTIPLE FUNDING SOURCES. THE LAST IS NINE DIFFERENT REVENUE SOURCES THAT IT COMES FROM INCLUDING CIP.

>>COULD YOU REVIEW. WHAT'S BEFORE THE $500,000 CHANGE ORDER. FROM THE REQUEST OF FDOT

AND CSX, CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT THIS CHANGE ORDER IS? >> WELL, THE FDOT, IF YOU LOOK AT THE ATTACHMENT. THAT'S WHERE IT WOULD BE. THERE IS EXHIBIT 1. THEY ARE LABELED 1-17. ITEMS 2, 3S 3, 11 AND 13 ARE FDOT REQUIRED WITH CONNECTIONS WITH U.S. 17.

THE TOTAL VALUE FOR THAT IS $112, $112,982.28. IF YOU TOOK THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. THERE ARE WERE A COUPLE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO PULL A COUPLE OUT OF THE PROJECT. AGAIN, WE HAVE INSPECTORS FULL-TIME MONITORING THE QUANTITIES THAT AREN'T USED.

WE HAVE AN AREA WHERE A HAND RAIL WAS NO LONGER NEEDED OR REVISIONS TO THE TEMPORARY TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN AND ABLE TO SAVE $68,000 ON ITEMS 15 AND 16. ON A COUPLE OF THESE, TO BE HONEST, THERE WAS AN ERRORS AND OMISSIONS WITH THEIR DESIGN. WE STILL HAVE TO PAY, BUT GO BACK IN TO GET THAT. THAT VALUE IS ROUGHLY $132,165 IF WE CAN COME TO TERMS WITH THOSE. WITH EACH ONE OF THEM, THERE IS A SHORT DESCRIPTION FOR EACH ONE OF THE ITEMS WHETHER IT'S AN UNFORESEEN ITEM. AN EXAMPLE A DRAIN WHERE THE CONTRACTOR IS DIGGING AND FINDS A DRAINAGE SYSTEM THAT NOBODY KNEW IT WAS THERE UNTIL YOU START DIGGING UP. THAT'S THE DIFFICULT PART ABOUT A ROADWAY JOB, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S BELOW THE GROUND. LIKE THE OCEAN, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S UNDER THE WATER UNTIL YOU SEE THE SHARKS AND CORRAL REEFS. EACH ONE. DOES THAT HELP WORK YOUR WAY THROUGH

EACH ONE OF THE ITEMS? >> YES. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION?

[01:20:01]

I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON ITEM NO. 7.

I WILL MOVE APPROVAL. >>I WILL SECOND. I THINK JUST ONE FINAL COMMENT FOR ME, IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE FDOT IS COVERING THE CHANGE ORDER AND THEN SOME FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROJECT. I THINK THE COMMISSION HAS DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB OF LETTING STAFF KNOW WHERE WE STAND ON IT. THEY CAN THEN TAKE THAT TO THE CONTRACTORS AND LET THEM KNOW THAT THIS DEFINITELY FOR SURE WILL NOT BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE. ALL RIGHT. NO MORE DISCUSSION.

>> I WOULD SAY WE ARE PROBABLY ABOUT 70% ROUGHLY. IF YOU HAVE DRIVEN BY IT. WE HAVE THE FENCE AROUND THE POND AND A LOT OF MATERIALS MOVING IN. AGAIN ROUGHLY 70%. OFF THE TOP OF MY

HEAD, I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBERS. >>VERY GOOD. >>RICHARD SMITH, COUNTY ENGINEER. UPDATING COMING TO THE FINAL STAGES ON THE FEW PROJECTS INCLUDING OUR COUNTY ROAD 220 BRIDGE REPLACEMENT AND FOUR LANING FROM NIGHT BOX TO HOLLERS PLACE. IT'S CHANGED A LOT AND A LOT TOOK PLACE THIS WEEK AND LAST WEEK. WE GOT TRAFFIC NOW ON THE WHAT WILL EVENTUALLY BE THE EASTBOUND OF TWO LANES ALONG 220 FROM THE ROAD TO THE ROAD CURRENTLY. THAT PROJECT IS IN ITS OWN SCHEDULE TO BE COMPLETED IN SUMMER. THE BRIDGE WILL FOLLOW SHORTLY BEHIND IT. WE GOT EVERYTHING CLEARED FROM THE UTILITY STANDPOINT FROM OUR FRIENDS AT CLAY ELECTRIC AND SHOULD GET THAT PAVED IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. THERE IS STILL SOME DITCH WORK ON THE NORTHERN END AND EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE A PAVED ROAD, IT WILL BE A LOT OF SPEED OUT THERE, SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT KNOWS ABOUT THAT. PLEASE BE CAREFUL. THERE WILL BE SOME ROADSIDE WORK ON THE DITCH ON THE ROAD TO FOX MEADOWS TO THE NORTH. WORK CONDUCTED ON THE FOURTH ON WEDNESDAY, THE DRAINAGE EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN ORDERED AND WILL BE DONE IN MARCH. IT WAS 145 DAYS. WE ARE LOOKING TO HAVE THAT OPEN AROUND THIS TIME NEXT YEAR. IT SHOULD GO RELATIVELY SMOOTH. I WILL GIVE YOU UPDATES. THERE ARE SOME INTERESTING MAINTENANCE OF TRAFFIC, ONE THE SOUTH END OF THE ROUNDABOUT WILL BE CONSTRUCTED, EVERYTHING CLOSED OFF AND THE NORTHSIDE END WILL BE CLOSED OFF BY THE CHURCH AND SCHOOL. THAT WILL HAPPEN AS THE PROJECT CONTINUES. IT WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT TO LIST THE UPDATES IN CLAY CONNECT BECAUSE THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR ROUTE TO HOME FROM THE SCHOOL AND THE CHURCH. WE HELD A MEETING JANUARY 30TH AND SCHEDULED TO AGAIN IN MARCH. THAT PROJECT IS A VERY HIGH PEAK HOUR A.M. AND P.M. TRAFFIC GENERATOR. PLEASE BE CAREFUL. THERE WILL BE A LOT OF WORK IN THAT AREA. IT'S A FOUR POLE, FULL BOX DESIGN. MEANING WHEN THE FOURTH LEG OF LONG BAY EXTENSION GOES NORTH, THIS SIGNAL IS CONSTRUCTED AND ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS HANG HEADS AND TURN IT ON. THERE ARE LEFT TURN LANES ON ALL THREE DIRECTIONS TO BE INSTALLED. THERE IS GOING TO BE A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND SOME BOARDS THERE IN THE COMING WEEKS TO LET FOLKS KNOW. PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY. IT'S GOING TO BE AS COMMISSIONERS KNOW, THERE ARE NO ALTERNATE ROUTES. PRACTICE YOUR PATIENCE WHEN YOU ARE GETTING

HOME. >>THE BOULEVARD PROJECT IS COMPLETING TODAY AND TOMORROW.

THE SOD IS BEING LAID. WE ARE HOPING THAT EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT IN TESTING. WE SHOULD OPEN UP THE ROAD TOMORROW OR THURSDAY. VERY MAJOR THANKS TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE FOR DOING A

[01:35:07]

GREAT JOB AND KEEPING US IN THE SAFE ZONE. THANK YOU FOR THAT AND WE FINISHED A COUPLE WEEKS

EARLY. >>STARTING ANOTHER PROJECT THAT STARTS NEXT WEEK, THE WEEK AFTER IS THE RECSURFACING OF 220 WHER THE LAKESHORE DRIVE WEST SIGNAL WAS RECENTLY COMPLETED AT OUR NEW FIRE STATION. THAT WORK WILL BE DONE AT NIGHT. PLAN ACCORDINGLY. THERE WILL NOT BE ANY LANE CLOSURES DURING THE DAY. THAT SHOULD TAKE 3-4 WEEKS. WE WILL GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF.

THE JOBS IS ON SCHEDULE WILL BE OF FINISHED IN THE NEXT FOUR WEEKS.

THE FINAL PAVEMENT WAS PUT DOWN YESTERDAY. THAT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO CURE AND BE PAINTED. AND IT'S VERY GOOD JOBSITE, VERY WELL RUN. THAT CONSTRUCTION COMPANY WILL BE DOING THE RADAR ROADS AND WE HAVE GREAT CONTRACTORS ON BOARD RIGHT NOW. A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FOR SIDEWALKS, NEAR THE HIGH SCHOOL AREA. THAT PROJECT IS COMPLETING NEXT WEEK THAT CONNECTS BLANDING BOULEVARD TO THE SIDEWALK TO HARRISON AVENUE. THEN FELL THAT, THE CONTRACTOR WILL BE MOVING OVER TO THE TRAIL AROUND THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AREA TO THE TRAIL TO THE BOULEVARD.

ON THE DOT SIDE, IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE SAME. WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR WORK TO BE COMPLETED ON THAT LAST 0-5% ON THE NORTHERN LEG FROM WATER OAK TO THE PARKWAY. I WILL LOOK FOR THAT TO DO THE ASPHALT ANYTIME NOW. THIS IS A GOOD WEEK. IT HAS TO BE 60 DEGREES FOR THE TYPE OF

PAVEMENT FOR THE FINAL TOPPING THERE. >>THE INTERSECTION, BLACK CREEK BRIDGE DOWN HERE IN IN FRONT OF OUR WORK. WORK IS GOING VERY WELL ON IT. THEY HAVE KIND OF STOPPED AT GARNER CHEVROLET. THEY WILL BE SHIFTING CREWS. YOU NOTICED THEY BUILT THE NEW TRAFFIC SIGNAL POLES AT 209. THEY ARE IN COORDINATION WITH THE SUPERIOR CONSTRUCTION GROUP FINISHING THE PROGRAM NO. 2, AS WELL AS THE FOLKS FROM DUVAL ASPHALT TO COORDINATE THAT.

THERE IS A LOT OF MOVING PARTS THERE. CURRENTLY THAT SIGNAL IS UNDER CONTROL AT THE STATION PROGRAM. AT SOME POINT DOT'S CONTRACTOR ON 17 WILL TAKEOVER. BLANDING BOULEVARD, NO CHANGE.

THAT IS STILL ON SCHEDULE TO FINISH THIS SUMMER. AND THE PROJECT IS COMPLETE. YOU HAVE A NEW ROAD. WHAT PART THE COUNTY CONTROLS AND OWNS IS NEW. 16, YOU WILL BE GETTING WARNINGS UNTIL DECEMBER OF THIS YEAR STARTING 30 DAYS FROM JANUARY 5TH, THEY ARE WORKING.

IT'S AT NIGHT. THEY HAVE REQUESTED SOME WORK. WE ARE COORDINATING. WE HAVE JIM KNIGHT FROM THE DOT COMING IN FOR A QUARTERLY MEETING IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM ON THE 24TH. WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT WE GET CONFIRMED HOPEFULLY DATES OF OPENING FOR THE FAIR RAMPS AT 16. THAT CONCLUDES THE UPDATE. DO WE EHAVE ANY QUESTIONS? A LT OF LITTLE PROJECTS.

>>YOU TELL JIM I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ED ELDRIDGE. >>YOU ARE SCHEDULED. YOU CAN TELL HIM, IF YOU ARE NOT THERE, I WILL CERTAINLY PASS THAT ALONG WITH THE VEHICLES, THE

EQUIPMENT, THE TRASH. >>THE VEHICLE CAN MOVE. THE EQUIPMENT, ANYWAY.

>>THE PROJECT AT THE 295 INTERCHANGE COMPLETION. >>COMMISSIONER BETSY CONDON: ONE QUESTION THAT EITHER OF YOU CAN ANSWER IT. THE ECONOMICS ECONOMICS BUILDING AND THEY HAVE THE LANE CLOSED, ARE THERE SAFETY STANDARDS BECAUSE YESTERDAY OR FRIDAY, I WAS

[01:40:03]

ALMOST IN A HEAD ON COLLISION ON THERE, AND I HAD TO PULL INTO THE CONES. AND IT WAS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WAVING PEOPLE ON ARE SO FAR APART, THEY DON'T HAVE RADIOS AND THEY DON'T HAVE FLAGS. 2 ONE WAS HOLDING UP HIS HAND ONE WAY AND SHE THOUGHT HE WAS WAVING HER AND THEY BOTH LET CARS GO. MY QUESTION IS YOU SAID MARCH 11TH. HOW MUCH LONGER IS THAT LANE GOING TO BE CLOSED AND

IS THERE A SAFETY STANDARD THAT THEY SHOULD BE COMPLYING WITH? >> THE SAFETY STANDARD, MIT, THEY SHOULD WE COMPLYING WITH FDOT STANDARDS AND YOU SEE THE LANE CLOSURE AND FROM THE LEFT TURN LANE FROM WAHLBERG. AS FAR AS FLAG MAN, IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY MADE AN ERROR. OBVIOUSLY, A LACK OF COORDINATION. I WILL BRING THAT BACK UP WITH THE PROJECT MANAGER AS WELL AS THE MANAGEMENT OF THAT WORK. AND THE SINGLE LANE CLOSED NORTHBOUND SHOULD BE DUE TO THE FACADE. IT SHOULDN'T BE MUCH LONGER. WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS, WITH THE HIGH REACHES THEY ARE TRYING TO

GET TO THE ELEVATED PORTIONS OF THE ROOF OF THE SECOND FLOOR. >>THE FLAG MEN DON'T HAVE FLAGS.

>>THEN THEY YELL AT YOU WHEN YOU DRIVE BY. I CAN'T EVEN SEE YOUR HAND. WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? THEN I GOT A NUMBER OF CALLS FOR A FEW DAYS ABOUT A LACK OF WATER FOR A FEW WEEKS AT THE COUNTY FACILITIES BECAUSE OF FROZEN PIPES. I DON'T KNOW WHO TO ASK THAT QUESTION OF. IT BROUGHT UP THE QUESTION TO ME, HOW MANY FROZEN PIPES, HOW MUCH IN REPAIRS AND HOW MUCH HAVE WE GONE IN FACILITIES WITHOUT WATER. I KNOW OF ONE WITHOUT WATER FOR A WEEK. IF YOU FOLLOW ME ON FACEBOOK, YOU KNOW I HAD A PIPE AT MY HOUSE THAT WE THOUGHT WE CONTAINED AND THE REPAIR WORK WAS OVER $600 AND WE HAD A PLUMBER OUT THE NEXT DAY AND THEY HAD TO ORDER A PART AND IT CAME IN THE FOLLOWING DAY. SUPPOSEDLY THE PARTS ARE ON ORDER, BUT I DON'T REALLY

UNDERSTAND. >>MA'AM, WE'LL HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU ON IT. THE NUMBERS OF PIPES, THERE WERE AT LEAST SOMEWHERE AROUND 10 FACILITIES IMPACTED WITH DAMAGE TO PIPES, BUT THEY QUICKLY GOT BACK ONLINE. I KNOW JUSTIN HAD SOME ON THE PARKS. WHAT IS THE

FACILITY THAT YOU ARE BEING TOLD? >> IT'S TWIN LAKES PARK. I

DIDN'T KNOW JUSTIN WAS DOING IT ANYMORE. >>HE WENT HOME.

>>DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND REC. THE DAY AFTER THE FREEZE, WE HAD THE THE GUN RANGE T SPORTS COMPLEX AND ALL HAD WATER LEAKS. WHEN WE SENT THAT WORK ORDER IN, WE WERE TOLD THERE WERE 14 OTHER THAT MORNING THAT WAS HAPPENING THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. I CANNOT SPEAK FOR THE WORKLOAD, BUT WE WERE FOUR OUT OF 18 THAT HE HAD THAT MORNING. SO I CAN'T SPEAK TO THE OTHER WORK ORDERS THAT

CAME THROUGHOUT THE DAY, BUT PARKS AND REC HAD FOUR ALONE. >>I KNOW PARKS AND REC WENT A WEEK WITHOUT WATER, I WAS TOLD. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THEY ARE OVER A WEEK AT TWIN LAKES. GENE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT DOES THESE REPAIRS. WHAT DOES PARKS MAINTENANCE OR GROUNDS

MAINTENANCE, WHAT DO THEY DO >> THEY REPLACE ANY HEADS, FOR ANY GROUNDS, ANY FACILITY

COUNTY STAFF KNOWS THIS. HOW MANY FACILITIES, YOU SAID 14 WORK ORDERS AND HOW MANY PARKS? FOUR PARKS. THAT'S A LOT IN THE COUNTY. MY FOLLOW-UP QUESTION TO THAT, THOSE TWO ITEMS, LIKE MAYBE IT'S WITH GENE, WHAT IS OUR PLAN. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? FOR WEEKS ON END, THE TV NEWS HAS BEEN SAYING COVER YOUR PIPES, PLANTS, PETS, WHATEVER, AND WE HAVE ALL THIS THAT IS LEFT UNCOVERED. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING WHEN WE ARE IN SUCH A TIGHT BUDGET SITUATION, MAYBE

[01:45:04]

MY REPAIR IS $600 BECAUSE IT WAS RESIDENTIAL. BUT IT'S STILL PARKS.

>>LEROY. THE FIRE STATIONS, YES. # >>COMMISSIONER, I'M NOT SURE WE GOT THE INFORMATION AROUND STATION 17. THE ONLY STATION WAS 26 AND A COUPLE TOILETS IN THE STATION. NONE OF OUR OTHER STATIONS WERE WITHOUT WATER THAT I'M AWARE OF.

>>OKAY, THAT'S GOOD. BUT, I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW WHERE THE OTHER 14 WERE.

>>WE'LL PROVIDE AN UPDATE. >>I WILL SAY THAT I DO KNOW THAT THE FACILITIES THAT WE RENT UP ON COLLEGE DRIVE, THEY HAD SOME WATER LINES THAT RUPTURED THERE DURING THE FREEZE AND THE

MAINTENANCE FOR THE CENTER THERE TOOK CARE OF THOSE. >>THANK YOU.

>>THROUGH THE CHAIR, CAN YOU PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON STATION ONE? I DIDN'T, THERE WASN'T

MUCH. >>SURE. AS A MATTER OF FACT, ONE AND 22 AN UPDATE ON 122, A FAIRLY CLOSE STATION. ONE IS FARTHER BEHIND THAN 122. THEY HAVE VERTICAL WALLS COMING UP.

PERCENTAGE WISE, WE ARE PROBABLY AT 20% COMPLETE ON SCHEDULE WITH BOTH OF THOSE. WE MEET EVERY OTHER WEEK WITH THE CONTRACTOR AND THE DESIGNER. THE PROJECTS ARE MOVING ALONG WELL. THERE WAS ONE THAT WAS SOME ISSUE WITH THE FLUSHING OF THE HYDRANT THAT CAUSED A MUDDY MESS AND WE GOT OUT THERE AND ON THE FOLKS THAT WERE DOING THAT WORK. IF THEY HAVE TO FLUSH THE HYDRANT AGAIN, THEY KNOW TO DO IT OUT OF THE STORM DRAIN SYSTEM. DOES THAT HELP? AGAIN, THERE ARE 90 PROJECTS AND WE ARE TRYING TO PULL THEM EVERY MONTH. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT ON THE FIRE STATION, IF YOU WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT EVERY MONTH, I CAN WORK

ON AN UPDATE FOR THAT OTHER THAN JUST THE DOLLARS. >>RICHARD, YOU MEMORINTIONED 21 ALMOST AT THE FINISH LINE. I APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE FOR THE LONGEST TIME, YOU WERE GETTING LOTS OF PEBBLES AND IT'S PRETTY M MUCH BUTTONED UP. WHAT'S THE

LAST PEOPLE TO BE DONE WITNESS? >> -- WITH IT? >> IT'S THE FINAL TOPPING THAT GOES ON. THAT WILL SIT FOR TWO WEEKS AND THEN YOU WILL HAVE THE THERMAL PLASTIC PAINT. WHAT YOU WILL NOTICE THE MOST IS THE STRIPING. THERE WILL BE MORE GUIDELINES. I GOT A COMPLIMENT FROM A BIKER CYCLIST FROM THE PATTERSON AREA TO THE BLACK CREEK TRAIL TO GO SOUTH, HE NO LONGER HAS TO DEAL WITH THE ARE THE TRAFFIC FROM 20. HE REALLY LIKED THE WAY THAT DESIGN CAME OUT. AND THAT'S AN OLDER GENTLEMAN. THAT'S A PREHEAVILY USED BIKE PATH THROUGH THERE.

>>WHERE 17 AND 220 THERE, SOUTHBOUND ON THE DOUBLE TURN LANE ON THE 220, ALL OF THAT IS PRETTY MUCH COMPLETE AS FARAS THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE LIGHTS?

>> YES. CORRECT. JUST THE FINAL THERMAL PLASTIC ON IT. >>VERY GOOD. ANY OTHER UPDATES?
