[00:00:07]
>> GOOD AFTERNOON LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
THE MEETING IS NOW CALLED TO ORDER I.
>> ANY UPDATES TO THE AGENDA? >> AS PUBLISHED.
>> WE WILL OPEN THE SESSION UP TO PUBLIC COMMENTS.
IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO MAKE A PUBLIC COMMENT? SEEING NONE, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT. MOVE RIGHT INTO THE AGENDA.
[1. FY 19/20 CCSO Budget Amendment]
ITEM NUMBER ONE. BUDGET AMENDMENT.>> THIS BUDGET AMENDMENT IS TO THROUGH CARRY FORWARD AMOUNTS WE PROVIDED IN AUGUST INTO OUR CURRENT YEAR BUDGET.
THIS IS FOR ITEMS AND PROJECTS THAT WERE NOT COMPLETED BY LAST FISCAL YEAR AND FOR NOT BUDGETED IN OUR CURRENT YEAR BUDGET SO WE'RE CARRYING FORWARD THOSE AMOUNT INTO OUR NEW BUDGET.
>> EXPLAIN TO US AGAIN THE AMOUNT AND WHERE IT CAME FROM.
>> AT THE END OF THE PHYSICAL YEAR WE REPORTED ROUGHLY $2.6 BILLION AND WE'RE ASKING FOR 1.4 MILLION THE CARRY FORWARD. MOSTLY THOSE ARE BUILDING MAINTENANCE PROJECTS WE DIDN'T COMPLETE AT THE END OF THE YEAR AND ALSO VEHICLES, GRANTS, EQUIPMENT.
SAND WE'RE CARRYING THAT FORWARD INTO OUR NEW YEAR BUDGET.
>> I MUST BE HONEST WITH YOU. SOME OF THESE NUMBERS MYSTIFY ME. I'VE LOOKED AT THEM AND TALKED TO PEOPLE AND I DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND THEM.
NOT TO SAY THEY ARE NOT RIGHT. BUT I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND THEM. SO WITH THAT SAID --
>>LESS HAS MORE DETAIL ON EACH OF THE EXACT ITEMS WE'RE
CARRYING FORWARD. >> IF YOU LET ME KNOW WHICH ONE YOU HAVE QUESTION ON WE CAN ANSWER THIS.
>> I HAVE DETAIL ON THE BUDGET CARRY FORWARDITELES.
>> WHAT ABOUT THE OVERTIME? I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
4109. WHY ARE YOU CARRYING FORWARD
OVER TIME MANY. >> WE'RE NOT CARRYING FORWARD
OVER TIME. >> MAYBE I'M READING THAT WRONG.
WHAT IS OT. >> OTHER THAN SALARIES.
IT'S EXPENSES OTHER THAN SALARIES.
>> EQUIPMENT WHICH IS ALL GRANT RELATED.
WE HAD OUR CONTRACT, SALARY COMPENSATION CONTRACT HAD A CARRY FORWARD BECAUSE THAT'S NOT COMPLETED.
MOTORCYCLE PARTS AND EQUIPMENT. OUR TEEN DRIVER GRANT WE DIDN'T COMPLETE I. WAL-MART TRUCK RETREAT OFFICE GRANT. DRI GRANT.
WE DIDN'T COMPLETE ALL. >> ERIC: BY THE END OF THE YEAR.
AS WELL AS LICENSE AND SUPPORT. >> COUNTY MANAGER ARE YOU HAPPY
WITH THIS? >> IT PUTS US IN A PRECARRIOUS SITUATION. EACH FUND OUT OF THE FOUR FUNDS THAT ARE MENTIONED HERE, 102, 140 ARE TWO OF THE BIG ONES FOR SAFETY AND 1 ON. IT WILL TAKE OUR RESERVES CONTINGENCY FROM 645,094 DOWN TO $21,405.
THEN ON 140. IT WILL TAKE US FROM 1,388,511 AND CHANGE THERE TO 836,326. THAT'S WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BOTH BIGGEST MUSCLE MOVERS IF YOU WANT TO SAY ON YOUR EQUATING TO $1,175,775.50. AND UNDERSTAND THOSE ARE OTHER THAN SALARY AMOUNTS THAT WOULD BE BROUGHT UP INTO PUBLIC SAFETY
[00:05:07]
EXPENDITURES. $623,590 AND THE OTHER ONE FOR 140 IS 552,185. IN ORDER TO BALANCE IT OUT THE FUNDING FOR THAT COMES FROM THE RESERVES.ON THE REVERSION AMOUNT OF $2.6 MILLION AN ESTIMATED AMOUNT WENT INTO EACH ONE OF THE FUNDS AT THE TOP FOR A FUND BALANCE CARRY FORWARD. THE FUND BALANCE CARRY FORWARD IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN ORDER TO FUND THE TWO MONTHS OF WHICH WE DON'T RECEIVE TAXES. UNTIL REALLY THREE MONTHS.
OCTOBER, NOVEMBER AND PART OF DECEMBER.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT, IT BECOMES DIFFICULT AT THE END OF THE YEAR TO COVER THAT AMOUNT THAT IS REQUIRED FOR OPERATIONS.
THAT'S PRETTY LEFTY MOVE. ON FUND 107, 1107 TAKING FROM A FUND BALANCE CARRY FORWARD AND ALSO INCREASING A PUBLIC SAFETY EXPENDITURE AND THE TOTAL AMOUNT IN 107 WOULD BE $93,214.
IT NEEDS TO BALANCE OUT. IT DOESN'T BALANCE OUT QUITE THE RIGHT WAY ON THAT ONE. FINALLY FUND 350 OUT OF THE REQUESTS, I TAKE IT THAT MAYBE THESE MAYBE EQUIPMENT OR VEHICLES THAT WERE BROUGHT THIS YEAR MAYBE?
>> ACQUISITIONED THEM LAST YEAR. >> ON THIS ONE THAT'S $211,789.
THE MONEY IS COMING FROM THE RESERVES CONTINGENCY IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND. THAT ONE THERE OUT OF THE REQUEST WOULD MAKE SENSE ON THAT.
IT DOES TAKE AWAY, IT TAKES THE REHAVE YOU EVER BEEN CONTINGENCY FROM 4.9 MILLION DOWN TO 4.7 MILLION ON IT.
SO IT'S DIFFICULT AND AS THE WHEN YOU ARE CARRYING A BALANCE- FORWARD IN ORDER TO FUND MONTHS WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN TAXES FOR JUST YET. THIS WILL PUT NEWS A PRECARRIOUS SITUATION NEXT YEAR WITH REGARD TO BUDGET.
IT WILL TAKE AWAY FROM OTHER AREAS IN ORDER TO FUND THAT.
IT WILL ALSO MAY MEAN A TAX INCREASE IN THE MILLAGE RATE WITHIN THESE TWO FUNDS SO WE COULD FUND IT CONTINUING ON.
SO THAT'S WHERE I'M COMING FROM ON IT.
AND LOOKING AT IT. BY WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT FOR WHEN WE NEGOTIATED WITH THE $3 MILLION INCREASE AND ADD VERY WILL REMEMBER FOR PUBLIC SAFETY EXPENDITURES.
THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL 1.17. >> THIS WHOLE THING REPRESENTS A 1.1 ADDITIONAL TAKE FROM OUR RESERVES?
>> WE PROVIDED THESE NUMBERS THIS AUGUST AS PER THE BUDGET CALENDAR WE'RE SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE CARRY FORWARD NUMBERS.
WE PROVIDED THESE AUGUST. THEY WERE NOT PART OF OUR FINAL BUDGET. THAT OVERAGE WE DIDN'T RECEIVE
WE'RE ASKING FOR WACK. BACK.>> WE REVERTED BACK 48,000.
OF THAT 466107 PART OF THE COMMUNITY CONNECT.
WHAT WE'RE REVERSING BACK, THERE WAS SOME WE NEEDED BECAUSE IAMS WERE COMING IN THIS YEAR. WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING IN ADDITION. WE'RE JUST SAYING OF WHAT WE REVERTED THERE ARE SOME PROJECTS THAT CARRY FORWARD AND WE'RE ASKING FOR THAT BACK IN OUR BUDGET.
THESE THE SAME NUMBERS WE PROPRO PROVIDED IN AUGUST.
THEY MAY HAVE DECREASED SLIGHTLY IF.
>> DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT? >> THAT'S THE AMOUNT THAT NEEDS TO BE COVERED, THEN FUND BALANCE CARRY FORWARD NEEDS TO GO UP
46,607. >> DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD?
>> YOU MAY COULD ADD SOMETHING TO IT?
>> TO KEEP THIS SIMPLE. THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THESE CASH CARRY FORWARDS AND REVERSIONS WERE ALREADY CONTEMPLATED IN YOUR BUDGET. THE SHERIFF DID PROVIDE THESE NUMBERS IN AUGUST W. INCORPORATED THESE INTO THE 6,062,999 WE CARRIED FORWARD IN FUND 102 ALREADY.
THOSE NUMBERS HAVE ALREADY BEEN INCORPORATED INTO THE BUDGET AND
[00:10:01]
APPROPRIATED. YOU CAN'T APPROPRIATE THE SAME MONEY TWICE. IT IS PART OF YOUR BUDGET.>> THIS CASH CARRY FORWARD IS THE STARTING POINT FOR BUILDING
>> MY RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD IS TO DENY THIS BUDGET AMENDMENT. THESE NUMBERS ARE ALREADY INCORPORATED INTO YOUR CASH CARRY FORWARD.
IF YOU DON'T, YOU ARE REDUCING -- ALREADY AS THINGS STAND, YOU ALREADY APPROVED ONE BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR THE SHERIFF FOR $200,000 WHICH BROUGHT YOUR FUND BALANCE IN FUND 102 DOWN FROM 2 MILLION TO $1.8 MILLION. IF YOU WERE TO APPROVE THIS ONE, THAT WOULD BRING THAT DOWN EVEN URGE FURTHER.
YOU NEED $6 MILLION APPROXIMATE THAT FUND TO GET YOU THROUGH FIRST TWO MONTHS OF THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.
YOU'RE ALREADY ANYWAY BAD BUDGET SITUATION WITH THIS THE WAY IT STANDS NOW. TO APPROVE THIS PUTS YOU IN A
WORSE POSITION. >> WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS HERE AS FAR AS WE DENY THIS OR IS THERE A POSITION TO FURTHER NEGOTIATE? ARE WE GOING TO GET ANYWHERE BY DOING THAT?
>> YOU WOULD JUST MOVE IT TO THE BOARD.
YOUR RECOMMENDATION IS DENIAL AND YOU MOVE IT TO THE BOARD.
>> SO IT'S GOING TO THE BOARD PERIOD?
>> YOU WOULD MAKE THAT DECISION BUT YES.
>> IF WE DENY IT HERE, IT DOESN'T DIE HERE, IT GOES TO THE
BOARD. >> IT WOULD EITHER BE ON THE
CONSENT OR THE -- >> IN THE MEANTIME, I SUGGEST YOU GUYS GET TOGETHER AND DO NEGOTIATION IF IT TURNS OUT THE SAME WAY, I'VE GOT TO GO WITH MY STAFF.
IF YOU CAN CONVINCE THEM THAT THE MONEY IS IN THERE SAND
NEEDED, THAT'S HOW I FEEL. >> I THINK IT WOULD BE PRUDENT NOTHING DEROGATORY TOWARD SHERIFF'S OFFICE.
BUT WE PAY MIKE PRICE A DECENT SALARY TO HELP WAS THESE DECISIONS AND HE SEEMS TO BE ADAMANT ON IT AND SUPPORTED BY THE COUNTY MANAGER. WE NEED TO DO SOME FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS AND HOW Y'ALL CHARACTERIZE THAT IS UP TO YOU GUYS. FOR TODAY WE'RE GOING TO PASS THIS TO THE BOARD AND MAYBE THIS TIME NEXT WEEK WE'LL HAVE A
DIFFERENT OPINION COMING FORTH. >> THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU FOLKS. >> TREE REMOVAL.
[2. First Renewal Bid #16/17-2]
>> THIS IS OUR ANNUAL CONTRACTOR WE USE FOR TREE REMOVAL.
IT'S THE TREES IN POWER LINES, BIG TREES IN DANGEROUS POSITIONS THAT OUR CREWS DON'T HAVE THE CAPABILITIES.
IT'S A TWO YEAR BID. >> WE'LL GO WITH CONSENT ON ITEM
[3. First Renewal to Continuing Agreement #2017/2018-52 with Eisman & Russo Consulting Engineers, Inc.]
TWO. >> AGREEMENT TO CONTINUE.
>> YES, SIR. THIS IS AN ENGINEERING CONTRACT.
IT'S AUTHORIZED BY PURCHASE ORDER FOR WE USE THEM.
IT'S FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES.
AND WE USE THEM TO SUPPLEMENT OUR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT STAFF ON OUR PROJECTS. BUT THE DEVELOPERS ALSO USE EITHER AS MINUTE AND RUES SEW OR THE OTHER RENEWAL YOU'LL SEE ENGLAND, TIMES AND MILLER FOR THEIR SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENTS.
WE DON'T HAVE THE STAFF AND HAVEN'T HAD THE STAFF SINCE 2010 TO PROVIDE INSPECTION ON SUBDIVISIONS.
WE GIVE THE DEVELOPERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PICK EITHER ENGLAND TIMES AND MILLER ORIZEMAN AND RUES SEW AND THEY PICKED THEM. THEY INSPECT THE SUBDIVISIONS.
THEY ARE AN EXTENSION OF OUR STAFF BUT THE DEVELOPER PAYS FOR
THEM. >> IT'S A TWO YEAR CONTRACT.
[00:15:02]
WE SPENT $87,000 FOR THE STAFF THAT DO INSPECTION SERVICES.WHEN WE GET TO THE ENGLAND TIMES AND MILLER ONE, IT WAS SMALLER.
IT WAS ONLY $11,000 FOR THEM. THEY INSPECTED INDIANS GO
PROJECT WE JUST FINISHED UP. >> WE DO 13-18 SUBDIVISIONS A YEAR. THE STAFF IS THE CONSULTANT ENGINEERS , THE DEVELOPER PAYS FOR THEM.
THEY WORK DIRECTLY UNDER MY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGER.
>> AND YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH THIS PROCESS?
>> YES, SIR. I'D LIKE TO HAVE TO STAFF.
BUT NOT HAVING THE STAFF , THIS WORKS OK.
WHAT IT DOES VERY HONESTLY WHEN WE WERE DOING IT IN HOUSE WE HAD A SINGLE FEE FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND IF THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS STRETCHED OUT FOR SIX MONTHS A YEAR, TWO YEARS, THEY GOT THE ONE FEE FROM US.
THEY BASICALLY NEGOTIATE A TIME PERIOD AND IF IT GOES BEYOND THE, THEY ASK THE DEVELOPER BASICALLY FOR AN INCREASE IN FEES. IT'S NOT A COST TO THE COUNTY.
IT'S A COST DIRECTLY TO THE DEVELOPER.
IT'S WORKING WELL FOR US. IT CONTROLS OUR COST AND MAKES THE DEVELOPER AND THEIR CONTRACTORS LOOK AT THEIR WORK A
LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY. >> SORT OF SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE THE FOX TELLING US HOW THE BUILD THE HEN HOUSE.
>> THESE ARE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING FIRMS. WE QUALIFY THEM. THEIR STAFF REPORTS TO US.
>> THE OTHER GUYS PAY FOR THEM. >> THE OTHER GUYS PAY FOR THEM.
>> IT'S USUALLY WHERE THE MONEY GOES THAT COUNTS.
>> WHAT WOULD IT COST YOU TO STAFF UP TO DO THIS?
>> I THINK WE LET EIGHT INSPECTORS GO IN 2010.
>> FOR $280,000, WE'VE GOT THE EQUIVALENT OF 8 INSPECTORS?
>> NO, WE WOULD NOT. >> I GUESS WHAT I'M ASKING THIS IS YOU ARE TELLING ME THIS IS ADEQUATE AND THE BEST THING YOU CAN COME UP WITH NOW AND YOU'D RATHER DO THIS THAN ARE V THE
INSPECTORS BACK AT SAME COST. >> I PREFER INSPECTORS IN HOUSE.
IN 2010 YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THE COUNTY WAS GROWING PRIOR TO THE BUST SO THEY WERE HIRING INSPECTORSMENT THERE WERE MORE THAN 12 SUBDIVISIONS A YEAR. IT'S GOING TO START GROWING AGAIN. WOULD WE NEED EIGHT INSPECTORS PROBABLY NOT TODAY. A COUPLE YEARS FROM NOW, WE PROBABLY WOULD NEED THOSE EIGHT. IT'S WORKED WELL FOR NINE YEARS.
WE HAVEN'T SEEN A PROBLEM WITH IT.
>> WE HAVEN'T 4 ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE INSPECTION PROCESS
WHERE STUFFED HAS HAPPENED? >> NO, SIR, WE GET A DAILY FORT EVERY INSPECTOR. WE GET DENSITY REPORTS.
WE GET ALL THE GEOTECH REPORTINGS AND WE ARE OUT ON FINAL INSPECTION. WE GET VIDEOS ON ALL THE STORMWATER PIPES PUT IN THE GROUND.
IT'S HIRING AN INSPECTOR BUT THE NICE THING IS WE DON'T PAY FOR
BENEFITS AND EVERYTHING, PROBABLY I'D HAVE TO GUESS BETWEEN 600 AND $800,000 A YEAR. WE'RE TALKING SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 30-$40,000 A YEAR RAW SALARY PLUS THE BENEFITS.
>> HE USES MY CONSULTANTS ALSO. >> WE'LL GO CONSENT ON THAT I'M
3. >> THE I'M NUMBER THREE, THAT'S
THE AMOUNTMAN GROUP RIGHT. >> CONTINUING AGREEMENT.
[4. First Renewal to Continuing Agreement #2017/2018-54 with the Wantman Group, Inc.]

WE'VE HIRED A COUPLE OF AS -- I PLAN ON IF IT'S ALLOWED, ALLOWING THEM TO MOVE IN TO NOW GO FROM A CONCEPTUAL DESIGN TO PRELIMINARY AND FINAL DESIGN. IT WILL SAVE US TIME AND MONEY IF WE CAN DO THAT. WE USE THEM FOR SPECIFIC
PROJECTS AND EXTENSION OF STAFF. >> WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IN A
[00:20:25]
PRODUCT WE'RE GETTING FROM ICEMAN AND RUSSO AND ONEMAN.>> WHAT WE DO IS WE LOOK AT THE PARTICULAR ITEM AND FIGURE OUT WHICH ENGINEERING FIRM CAN PROVIDE US THE BEST POSSIBLE SERVICE AND WE ALSO LOOK AT TRYING TO BALANCE OUT WHAT WE'RE GIVING ICEMAN AND RUES SEW VERSUS ATMAN SO WE'RE COMING UP WITH A FAIR AMOUNT AT THE END OF THE CONTRACT.
IT MAY BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT YEAR TO YEAR.
I'VE GOT EMBEDDED STAFF FROM ICEMAN AND RUES SEW AND WANTMAN AND WE HAVE SMALLER PROJECTS WE'VE GIVEN THEM TO DO.
>> I'M GOOD. >> CONSENT ITEM NUMBER 5.
[5. First Renewal to Continuing Agreement #2017/2018-77 with England-Thims & Miller, Inc.]

>> AND YOU ARE OR THE COMMITTEE IS GOING TO WRITE THE POLICY?
>> THIS IS THE DRAFT OF IT. WE WOULD ASK FOR ANY INPUT FROM THE BOARD AND HOPEFULLY HAVE ATE PROVED ON THE 10TH OR WE CAN MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS NECESSARY.
>> WE'LL KICK IT OVER TO THE BOARD TO LET THEM REVIEW IT.
>> THE CONTENT APPROVAL COMMITTEE, SEEMS LIKE WE OUGHT TO HAVE SOMEBODY ON THERE FROM EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.
>> LIBRARIES I ASSUME ARE UNDER I. T.
ARE THEY GOING TO GET ENOUGH REPRESENTATION? I COULD SEE A LOT OF CONTENT FLOWING OUT OF THE LIBRARY
SYSTEM. >> THEY HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT IS READY TO GO AVAILABLE.
IT'S BEING BROADCAST NOW. A LOT OF THEIR COMMUNITY EVENTS HOSTED THROUGH THE LIES ARE UP NOW.
>> JUST TO BE CLEAR. I THINK DIFFERENCE IS PEOPLE SUBMITTING STUFF VERSUS AN APPROVAL GROUP TO APPROVE TO MAKE SURE SOMEBODY FROM OUTSIDE SUBMITTING SOMETHING THAT IT MEETS THE CRITERIA. THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE WHO IS SELECTING WHAT GOES ON THERE BUT MAKING SURE IT'S APPROVED AND APPROPRIATE FOR THE COUNTY. THERE IS AN APPEALS PROCESS IF WE SAY SOMETHING IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, THEY CAN APPEAL IT
TO THE COUNTY MANAGER. >> WHO IS DEVELOPING THE CONTENT
AND RUNNING THIS THING? >> IT'S A COMBINATION.
IN HOUSE STUFF WE'RE DEVELOPING. IT'S THE SLIDE WE'RE DEVELOPING AND FLIERS FOR THE LIBRARIES. WE'RE TAKING THE CONTENT WE'RE DEVELOPING FOR PRINT, FOR FLIERS, THINGS LIKE THAT ADDING IT TO THE CHANNEL. IF OTHER PEOPLE WANT TO BRING IN
[00:50:04]
CONTENT, THEN THAT'S WHERE IT WILL HAVE TO BE APPROVED.WE'RE NOT GOING TO GENERATE CONTENT FAR MUNICIPALITIES OR
NONPROFITS. >> WHAT ABOUT CHURCHES, SOMEHOW
THAT GOING TO WORK? >> COMMUNITY EVENT ANNOUNCEMENTS. THEY WOULD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY IF THEY HAD AN EVENT AND PREPARED ANNOUNCEMENT ON A SLIDE THAT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS WE'RE ASKING FOR THE CONTENT TO BE DELIVERED IN, WE CAN DISPLAY IT AS LONG AS IT'S NOT INAPPROPRIATE AND THE CONTENT COMMITTEE APPROVES OF IT.
IT WOULD BE EVENT, EVENT THAT WILL BENEFIT COMMUNITY.
A PUBLIC EVENT OR ACTIVITY. >> COUNTY SANCTIONED DEBATES.
WHAT DO THOSE LOOK LIKE. >> IF WE HAD ONE, AS LONG AS ALL
CANDIDATES HAVE EQUAL AIR TIME. >> GETTING IN A CAN OF WORMS I'M
TELLING YOU. >> YOU GOT TO HAVE CABLE TV IN YOUR HOUSE TO SEE ANY OF THIS RIGHT.
EVERYTHING GOING ON WILL BE GOING ON ON OUR WEBSITE UNDER
THE LIVE TV FEED. >> THIS MEETING WILL BE RERUN TWICE A DAY. NOON AND MIDNIGHT.
AFTER THE SCHEDULED EVENTS, IN BETWEEN THOSE WE'LL HAVE SLIDES RUNNING WITH JOB POSTINGS AND COMMUNITY EVENTS ANNOUNCEMENTS AND ACTIVITIES AND A SERIES OF VIDEOS WE'RE WORKING ON NOW AND TRYING TO GET SOME OF THESE THINGS CLOSED CAPTIONS.
WE HAVE VIDEO RUNNING WITH NO SOUND OR THAT HAVE BEEN CLOSED CAPTIONED. WE'LL HAVE VIDEOS AND SLIDES AND THE SCHEDULED PROGRAMS OF THE REPLAYS OF THE MEETINGS.
>> WHAT KIND OF BUDGET DO WE HAVE TO RUN A WHOLE TV ORGANIZATION HERE IS THE NEXT QUESTION.
I SEE LOTS OF STUFF GOING ON HERE THAT WE'RE NOT EVEN
THINKING ABOUT. >> WHAT WE HAVE -- I THINK IT'S A GREAT PROJECT I TALKED TO YOU ABOUT DOING A RADIO STATION.
THIS IS EVEN BETTER. BUT ALL THIS STUFF IS POPPING UP
IN MY HEAD. >> IT WILL BE CHALLENGING BUT WE HAVE THE COMMITTEE. ONCE WE GET THE POLICY OUT TO THE OTHER MUNICIPALITIES, HOPEFULLY THEY HAVE CONTENT TOO AND WE CAN GET A WONDERFUL PROGRAMMING SCHEDULE.
>> I THINK WE OUGHT TO ADVERTISE OPEN COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS LIKE JOBS FOR THE PUBLIC. A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THESE THINGS EXIST. HOW DO I SIGN SUP THE QUESTIONS
>> HAVE WE FIGURED ANY COST ON THIS PROJECT.
>> NOT SO FAR. STAFF TIME AND RESOURCES.
>> POSSIBLY ANOTHER VIDEO CAMERA.
>> THAT'S GOING TO EAT A LOT OF TIME.
OTHER THAN MANAGEMENT OF THE CHANNEL AND TAKING STUFF ON AND OFF THE CHANNEL, WE'RE USING CONTENT WE'RE CREATING FOR OTHER PURPOSES. WE'RE NOT YETING NEW CONTENT FOR THE CHANNEL. WE'RE TAKING FLIERS WE CREATE AND PUTTING THEM ON THE TV CHANNEL.
SO THE GOAL IS FOR THE COUNTY NOT TO GENERATE A BUNCH OF CONTENT. WE DO JOB POSTINGS AND OTHER POSTINGS IN PLACES. WE MAKE VIDEO OFFENSE ANIMALS.
WE TAKE THAT AND PUT IT ON THIS. IF OTHER PEOPLE WANT TO BRING CONTENT IN, WE'RE GOING TO PUT THE EFFORT ON THEM TO PUT THE CONTENT IN. THE HEAVY LIFT, WE'RE ALREADY
DOING A LOT OF THAT. >> I THINK THAT ANSWERS YOUR
QUESTION. >> THE LIBRARY IS PUTTENING TO TRAINING PROGRAMS FOR SOME OF THE STUFF, WHY NOT VIDEOTAPE
WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE CLOSED CAPTIONED AND THAT IS TIME CONSUMING BUT WE CAN WORK ON THAT.
>> I THINK THE BOARD WOULD BE INTERESTED IN REVIEWING THE POLICY. LET'S KICK THIS OVER TO THE BOARD JUST TO GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO READ THIS IF YOU DON'T MIND.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> 16.

THE ONES WE ARE LOOKING AT HAVE SOFTWARE LOADED ON THEM TO CONTROL THE ACCESS AND MEET THE CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ACT.
THEY CHECK IT OUT AND BRING IT BACK.
NEXT PERSON CHECKS IT OUT LIKE A BOOK.
THEY CAN TAKE IT HOME. CONNECT THEIR LAPTOP IT TO.

THIS COMES FROM THE COURT $65 FUND.
IT WAS JUST TO REALLOCATE FUNDING WITHIN IT FOR A SERVICE THAT HAD NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL FUNDING AGREEMENT.

[19. Used Equipment Purchase]
USED EQUIPMENT PURCHASES. >> FIRE CHIEF.
IRONICALLY 21 YEARS AGO I THINK I WAS 13 AT THE TIME, I WAS THE DIVISION CHIEF OF OPERATIONS IN JACKSONVILLE THAT PROCURE AID 1998 EMERGENCY MOBILE COMMAND POST FROM E1 AND PLACED IT INTO OPERATION IN JACKSONVILLE. 21 YEARS LATER I FIND MYSELF AS THE FIRE CHIEF IN CLAY COUNTY AND JACKSONVILLE FOUND ITSELF NOT IN NEED OF THAT UNIT ANYMORE.
ALTHOUGH 21 YEARS OLD. IT HAD ONLY 44,000 MILES ON IT.
WE DIDN'T DRIVE IT TO MANY LARGE EVENTS OR WHEN WE DID, WE DIDN'T DRIVE IT FAR. AND THEY HAVE CHOSE ON THE SURPLUS THIS ITEM. ACUTE MEMBERS OF MY STAFF WHO WERE SMART ENOUGH TO GO AND YOU TAKE A LOOK AT I DID A VARIOUS INSPECTION OF IT. FOUND IT HAS SUBSTANTIALLY MORE THAN THE $10,000 ASKING PRICE THIS VALUE THIS JACKSONVILLE HAS PLACED ON THE IT. FOUND IT TO BE IN GOOD OPERATIONAL CONDITION AND WE WOULD LIKE PERMISSION FROM THE BOARD WE'RE GOING TO ASK THE COUNTY MANAGER THROUGH THE BOARD TO ALLOW TO US PURCHASE IT. I GUESS I'M ASKING PERMISSION TO PURCHASE A SECOND TIME A PIECE OF APPARATUS I PURCHASED IN 1998, BRING IT TO CLAY COUNTY AND PLACE IT IN SERVICE SO WE CAN UTILIZE IT AS A MOBILE COMMAND POST FOR LARGE SCALE
OPERATIONS IN THE COUNTY. >> CAN WE DEMONSTRATE A NEED FOR
IRONICALLY ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE PLACED ANYTIME SERVICE FOR WAS A FAILURE WITH THE BRAND NEW COMMUNICATION CENTER WHEN WE PLACED IT ON TOP OF THE BRIDGE TRANSFERRED OPERATIONS UP THERE WHEN A FIRE IN A VAULT TOOK OUT THE COMMUNICATIONS TO THE NEW FACILITY THAT THEY HAD ESTABLISHED.
AND THEY DISPATCHED FOR QUITE A NUMBER OF HOURS OUT OF IT.
SO IT HAS A MULTIFACETED USE. WE CERTAINLY HAVE HAD LARGE SCALE EVENTS IN THE COUNTY WHERE YOU COULD UTILIZE THAT.
THE FACT IT HAS LOW MILEAGE AND NOT A LOT OF WEAR AND TEAR ON IT. MEANS IT COULD SERVE FOR 10-15 YEARS REASONABLY AND PROVIDE SUCH SERVICE THAT DID IT IN
JACKSONVILLE TO THE COUNTY. >> YOU WANT YOUR NAME PUT CROSS
THE SIDE. >> THAT'S A LITTLE TOO MUCH TO
BUT DO WE NEED IT? >> I THINK WE CAN ESTABLISH THAT WE HAVE HAD CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.
WE'VE HAD TO BRING THE JACKSONVILLE COMMAND POST TO CLAY COUNTY FOR WILDFIRE OPERATIONS ON A COUPLE OF
OCCASIONS. >> WE WILL HAVE TO DO MODIFICATIONS TO PUT IT IN. THE GOOD NEWS IT HAS THE PORTS CAPABLE OF DOING THAT. WE WILL PLUG IN QUITE THAT SIMPLE. PLUG IN AND PLAY AND HAVE THE
ABILITY TO PUT IT INTO SERVICE. >> CERTAINLY A GOOD DEAL.
CAN'T ARGUE WITH THAT. >> HOW MUCH MORE TO RETRO FIT
THIS. >> SOMEWHERE AROUND $50,000 BUT IT'S CONTAINED IN THE BUDGET WE ALREADY HAVE ONLINE.
WE LOOKED AT THAT. >> THE DEAL IS SO GOOD.
THAT THE HIGH-TECH EQUIPMENT WILL COST MORE THAN THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. IT'S A CONVERSE OF WHAT YOU
NORMALLY SEE. >> I'M GOOD WITH CONSENT.
>> CONSENT ON THAT. >> ITEM 20.

THAT'S TO LOCATE THE FIBER OPTICS THAT WE HAVE THAT CONNECTS UP OUR TRAFFIC SIGNALS AND OUR TRAFFIC SIGNAL STAFF IS DOWN TO A STAFF OF FOUR FROM THE SIX THAT THEY HAVE. AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE REALLY DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO DO AND MAINTAIN ALL THE SIGNALS
THAT WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN. >> GOT TO COME OUT OF OUR
OPERATING BUDGET. >> HOW MUCH DO THEY CHARGE?
>> THEY CHARGE BY THE LOCATION AND I DON'T HAVE THE PAPERWORK IN FRONT OF ME. IT'S NOT VERY EXPENSIVE.
BUT IT'S ALOT LESS EXPENSIVE THAN SENDING A STAFF PERSON OUT
THERE AND LOCATING. >> LESS EXPENSIVE THAN HAVING TO
FIX ONE OF THOSE CABLES. >> DEFINITELY LESS THAN FIXING
ONE OF THE CABLES. >> HOW DO YOU FIND IT UNDERGROUND? FIBER OPTIC CABLE?
>> YOU HAVE AS BUILTS AND MOST OF THE TIME THEY'LL PUT DOWN A
WIRE WITH IT. >> PUT A WIRE IN WITH IT.
I'M TRYING TO IMAGINE WHAT TECHNOLOGY YOU USE TO PENETRATE
THE GROUND AND FIND IT. >> THE COST ARE IN EXHIBIT B, PAGE 15. PER TICKET $25 PER EMERGENCY.
$35 AND THERE IS A FEW OTHERS LISTED THERE.
THEY HAVE SOME BUILT IN AVERAGE FUEL PRICE PER GALLON WAS ANOTHER THING THAT WAS ON PAGE 10 FOR THE COST.
>> CONSENT SIR. >> ALL RIGHT WE'LL GO WITH CONSENT ON THAT. KEEP THE FIBER OPTICS SAFE.

>> WE EMPLOYEE MR. PRICE FOR A REASON.
HE'S THE BEST THERE IS. I'M NOT GOING TO BE HAPPY WITH THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE UNTIL HE'S HAPPY.

>> YOU HAVE MY FULL SUPPORT TOO. THAT'S TWO VOTES.
>> THAT'S POWERFUL BARGAINING CHIP THERE.
>> I ALWAYS FIND YOU TO BE REASONABLE.
A LITTLE HARSH AT TIMES BUT CERTAINLY REASONABLE.

AND THEN THE OTHER IS A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH THE CLAY COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE IF WE'RE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE IN CONNECTION WITH THE SECURITY

PROJECTS TOO, I WANTED TO -- I HAD A DRIVE AROUND WITH THE COMMISSIONER FOR THE BONDING PROJECTS YESTERDAY.TOOK US ABOUT APPROXIMATELY TWO HOURS.
INDIVIDUALLY I'VE ASKED TO SCHEDULE THOSE WITH EACH ONE OF YOU. THOSE WILL BE COMING UP.
WHILE WE'RE ON THAT TOPIC. AND THEN PER THE NEW PROGRAM, A COUPLE OF WEEKS OLD HERE WITH THE COLOR CODES FOR STOPLIGHT RED YELLOW GREEN AND CURRENT PHASE AND ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATES THAT ARE IN FRONT OF YOU. TROY HAS DONE A WONDERFUL JOB OF PUTTING OUT A CHART. YOU HAVE THAT ALSO IN YOUR PACKET SO YOU CAN SEE THE PHASES AND HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE.
THERE ARE NINE PROJECTS THAT JAMES IS WORKING CURRENTLY.
HE'S STANDING BY THE THERE IS SOMETHING THAT I CAN'T ANSWER, HE CAN ANSWER. AND 27 FORDALE THAT ARE LISTED
ON THE SECOND SHEET. >> JUST AS A POINT OF INFORMATION AS A NEW CHAIRMAN I'M IN THE PROCESS OF NOMINATING CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR OF EACH OF THE COMMITTEES THAT REWE HAVE TO WORK WITH. AND OUR NEXT FULL BCC MEETING WILL BE NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT AND AS FATE WOULD HAVE IT, I WILL NOT BE HERE. SO THE VICE CHAIRMAN, HOPEFULLY SHE WILL BE FILLING IN AND MOVING EVERYTHING RIGHT ALONG

I WAS JUST REMINDED BY FIRE RESCUE THAT WE WILL HAVE AN ADDITIONAL AGREEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH OUR DECEASED BODY TRANSPORT THAT WE WILL NEED BRING DIRECTLY TO THE BOARD AS WELL BECAUSE WE NEED THAT IN EFFECT BEFORE OUR NEXT BOARD MEETING AS WELL. WE'LL HAVE THREE GREAT MANIES.
APOLOGIES. >> THIS IS IN ADDITION TO WHAT
WE'RE GOING TO NOW. >> CORRECT.
>> VERY GOOD. THIS MEETING IS NOW CLOSED.
AND WE ARE OPENING UP A NEW MEETING STANDING COMMITTEE DECEMBER 3 IS A MEETING TO DISCUSS I GUESS A PUBLIC HEARING. BEFORE WE -- AS JASON MAKES HIS WAY UP, DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS THAT NEED TO BE HEARD? NO COMMENTS. WE'LL CLOSETA AND MOVE INTO YOUR
PRESENTATION CHIEF. >> GOOD AFTERNOON.
DEPUTY CHIEF OPERATION. HERE TODAY TO PRESENT TO THE STANDING COMMITTEE A APPLICATION FOR A RENEWEL.
CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC NECESSITY FOR LIBERTY AMBULANCE SERVICE TO CONTINUE THE OPERATE IN CLAY COUNTY.
THEY HAVE BEEN A LONG STANDING PARTNER WITH CLAY COUNTY.
THEY TURNED IN THEIR APPLICATION ON TIME.
IT'S COMPLETE, CHECKS ALL THE BOXES AND WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL.
>> DID WE NOT -- THAT WAS ANOTHER AMBULANCE SERVICE WE
DID. >> THAT WAS A BRAND NEW COMPANY COMING IN ACQUIRING AN EXISTING SO WE HAD TO DO THE FULL THING WITH THEM. THIS IS JUST A SIMPLE RENEWAL TO
A EXISTING COPC. >> AS FAR AS I KNOW AND HEARD LIBERTY HAS DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB.
>> THERE ARE REPRESENTATIVES HERE TODAY FROM THE COMPANY.
>> AS PART OF THE PROCESS IT REQUIRES YOU OPENING A PUBLIC
HEARING. >> SO THIS WOULD APPROXIMATE THE
FIRST. >> WELL DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU DECIDE, IT COULD BE THE ONLY. SO YOU COULD OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN ONCE A DETERMINATION YOU MAKE A DETERMINATION, YOU HAVE DIFFERENT CHOICES, YOU COULD DENY IT, APPROVE IT WITHOUT ANY CONDITIONS OR SEND IT TO THE
BOARD FOR A PUBLIC HEARING. >> SO WE CAN DO A PUBLIC HEARING. WE WILL ANYTHING ELSE?
>> NO, SIR. >> WE'LL OPEN THE FLOOR TO PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPRIETATE OF LIBERTY AMBULANCE SERVICES APPLICATION. ANY COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE? HEARING NONE, WE'LL CLOSE IT. AND.
>> I NOTICED SOME SLIDES IN THE BACK HERE.
MAYBE SOMEBODY CAN RUN THROUGH REAL QUICK.
>> THAT'S FINANCIALS THAT THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT HAS DONE.
IT'S THE SAME SLIDES THAT WERE IN THE PREVIOUS.
[01:15:11]
>> SO THIS IS BASICALLY WHAT IT WOULD COST THE COUNTY TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES THAT THE PRIVATE AMBULANCE SERVICES PROVIDE IN ULTIMATELY COUNTY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL TRANSPORTS.
AND SO IN OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH OUR PRIVATE AMBULANCE COMPANIES AND PARTNERS, THEY ASSUME THESE COST FOR US.
AND THEY RECOVER THEIR COST THROUGH THE AMBULANCE BILLING WHICH IS A WHOLE OTHER SUBJECT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH MANY TIMES.
IT'S ABOUT A MILLION PER. >> TO HAVE ANYTIME SERVICE.
>> THAT'S THE UNIT, THE STAFF AND SUPPLIES.
>> SO ON THIS SLIDE, WHAT THIS IS SHOWING IS OUR TRANSPORTS ANNUALLY AND BY UNIT. AND THEN BY OUR PRIVATE PARTNERS AS WELL. AND OUR PRIVATE PARTNERS BASICALLY ARE FORCE MULTIPLIER. THEY ADD THE SIX ADDITIONAL AMBULANCES THERE TO OUR ALREADY 10 THAT WE OPERATE, WELL 11 WITH OUR PEAK TRUCK. IT'S A 12 HOUR TRUCK.
SO THE ESTIMATED COST ALL TOGETHER IF YOU LOOK AT A MILLION PER TRUCK, IT'S APPROXIMATELY $6 MILLION.
>> THAT'S BOTTOM LINE THERE. >> THAT'S THE OFFSET BY HAVING
ONE AMBULANCE IN SERVICE. >> THE MILLION DOLLAR IS THE OFFSET. SO THE SIX THAT THE PRIVATES ALL OF THEM TOGETHER OFFER US AT MINIMUM IS $6 MILLION.
>> ALL THE PRIVATES? >> YES, SIR.
>> SO SIX PRIVATE UNITS. >> ACTUALLY I BELIEVE WE'RE UP TO -- WITH THE ACQUISITION WE'RE STILL AT SIX, YES.
>> HOW DOES ORANGE PARK FIT IN? >> ORANGE PARK --
>> I DON'T WANT TO GET OFF IN THE WEEDS TOO FAR.
>> ORANGE PARK APPLES AND ORANGES.
THEY PERFORM EMERGENCY SERVICES. THE PRIVATE AMBULANCE SERVICE PROVIDE THE TRANSPORTS FOR THE COUNTY.
WE WILL UTILIZE THEM FOR EMERGENCY SERVICE WHEN IS OUR SYSTEM GETS STRESSED. SO KIND OF APPLES AND ORANGES
THERE. >> I WAS BEHIND A PRIVATE AMBULANCE WITH THEIR LIGHTS RUNNING AND THEY WERE PROBABLY NOT DOING A TRANSPORT BUT DOING AN EMERGENCY RESCUE.
>> THEY WERE PROBABLY DOING A TRANSPORT TO THE RESCUE.
THEY LET US KNOW IF THEY RUN CODE IN THE COUNTY.
IF THEY ARE GOING SOME PLACE OR TO THE HOSPITAL THEY LET US KNOW
THAT. >> THE TRANSPORT WAS SOMETHING
LIKE HOSPITAL. >> THEY HAVE EMERGENCY TRANSPORTS. YOU HAVE SERVICES THAT CAN'T BE PROVIDED AT ONE LOCATION AND HAVE TO GO TO ANOTHER.
MOST COMMON IS EXTENDED CARE CENTER.
THEY HAVE TO GET SOMETHING DONE AND THEY MAY BE RUNNING CODE FOR
THAT REASON. >> AND THEY ARE REIMBURSED HOW? WE RUN AN AMBULANCE RUN AND WE REIMBURSE FROM INSURANCE?
>> THEY DO THE SAME THING BUT DIRECT BILLING TO THE CUSTOMER.
DOESN'T GO THROUGH US AT ALL. >> WHAT IS THEIR COLLECTION RATE
VERSUS OURS? >> I KNEW YOU WERE GOING ASK
ONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS ARE HERE. THE BUSINESS IS HERE IN THE AUDIENCE IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK WITH THEM.
>> YEAH. >> IF IT'S REAL HIGH, WE MAY
WANT YOUR SECRET. >> THE COLLECTION RATE IF YOU ARE BILLING INSURANCES IS ARE NORMALLY POOR.
IF WE'RE BILLING THE FACILITIES, THEN WE HAVE CONTRACTS WITH THE FACILITIES, SO WE DON'T USUALLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THOSE.
INSURANCES, THEY ARE GETTING TO WHERE THEY DENY.
>> LESS THAN HALF. >> OH YEAH.
PROBABLY LESS. >> HE'S TELLING YOU 40%.
THAT'S THE ANSWER. >> THAT'S GENERAL MARKET VALUE AROUND FOREVER. THEY ARE NOT ANY DIFFERENT.
A LOT OF WHAT THEY DO IS PLACE TO PLACE BILE SIS ONCOLOGY, NURSING HOMES, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
TRANSPORTING PEOPLE TO GET DIFFERENT THINGS DONE.
[01:20:11]
>> WE CAN DO THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING NEXT TUESDAY IS THAT
CORRECT? >> UNLESS YOU REQUEST THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING, ONE IS NOT NEEDED F. YOU ARE INCLINED TO APPROVE THE RENEWAL, YOU CAN RECOMMEND TO THE BOARD APPROVAL
AND PUT THEM ON CONSENT. >> I'M GOOD WITH THAT.
>> WE'LL RECOMMEND APPROVAL AND PUT IT ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.
THIS TAKES CARE OF LIBERTY. ANYTHING FROM COUNTY MANAGER OR
ATTORNEY OR STAFF? >> NO, SIR.
>> THIS MEETING WILL BE
