[Call to Order]
[00:00:09]
>>> HELLO TODAY IS MAY 7TH 2026 AND THE OPENING OF THE HISTORICAL PRESERVATION BOARD MEETING.
[Approval of Minutes]
CALL FOR AN APPROVAL OF MINUTES.EVERYBODY HAVE A CHANCE? >> IS THERE A DISCUSSION? DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION BEFORE WE APPROVE THEM?
>> DO WE DO A MOTION TO APPROVE AND THEN--.
>> ARE THERE ANY CORRECTIONS TO THE MINUTES?
>> WELL, I MEAN ONE TRIVIAL ONE IS THAT MISSPELLED MY FIRST NAME AT THE BEGINNING. BUT OTHERWISE THEY CORRECTED IT. BUT NO THE MAIN THING IS I WOULD ASK THAT SINCE WE HAVE THIS TECHNICAL CAPABILITY THESE DAYS, TO REPRODUCE A MORE ACCURATE AND FULL RECORD OF WHAT WAS DISCUSSED. WE SHOULD START DOING IT AND TRAN SCRIBING MORE-- THE SUMMARY THING SAYING WELL THERE WAS DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS SORT OF THING.
AND ANOTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT SORT OF THING BUT IF YOU REMEMBER THE PUBLIC TRYING FIND OUT WHAT THE ISSUES WERE AND WHAT WENT ON, YOU'D BE PRETTY MUCH OUT OF IT UNTIL YOU WENT THROUGH ALL THE EXTRA HOOPS OF GOING AND READING THE ENTIRE TRANSCRIPT OF THE HOUR OR WHATEVER IT WAS.
OF THE MEETING. SO I THINK IT WOULD BE A BETTER SS TO ALL CONCERNED TO HAVE IT WRITTEN OUT A LITTLE MORE FULLY IN THE MINUTES. WHAT WAS SAID.
SO THAT PEOPLE HAVE A BETTER IDEA.
THE CONSEQUENCE OF NOT DOING IT I'VE NOTICED OVER THE YEARS IS THE SAME THING COMES UP AGAIN AND AGAIN.
BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE PRESENTLY E VAIEDING IT WEREN'T AWARE OF HOW IT WAS DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY.
>> SO BASED ON WHAT THE BOARD WANTS TO DO, THESE MINUTES ARE ALL DONE ACROSS THE BOARD FOR ALL MEETINGS.
THEY WANTED TO REFER TO THE VIDEO, EXACTLY WHERE THE DISCUSSION IS. AND THERE'S A TRANSCRIPTION OF THE ENTIRE MEETING ON THE WEBSITE AS WELL.
SO THE MINUTES ARE JUST FOR TO TOUCH ON THE BUSINESS WHO SPOKE ABOUT IT. IN THE BEGINNING AND PRESENTED IT. WHAT WAS DISCUSSED FOR THE BUSINESS AND THE VOTE HAS TO BE RIGHT.
>> WELL OBVIOUSLY THAT'S THE ATTITUDE PRESENTLY OF THE PEOPLE ORGANIZING THIS. I'M SUGGESTING THEY DO A BET
JOSH. >> THAT WOULD BE CLARK GREEN
THE COMMISSIONERS AND MYSELF. >> GOOD SHE SEEMS A REASONABLE PERSON. SO WE SHOULD TAKE IT TO HER.
>> AND YOU SAY THERE IS A WRITTEN TRANSCRIPT AVAILABLE?
>> ON THE WEBSITE YES, MA'AM WHERE THE VIDEO IS FOUND.
IT'S WORD FOR WORD IN THE TRANSCRIPTION THERE.
>> NEW KNOWLEDGE, THANK YOU. >> YEAH, I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE GETTING ACCESS TO THIS THING.
I DON'T KNOW WHY WHETHER IT'S--.
>> SO ALL VIDEOS OF THIS MEETING AND MINUTES AND THE TRANSCRIPTION IS ACTUALLY AVAILABLE ON THE COUNTY
WEBSITE. >> YES I'M AWARE THAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE PIP JUST HAVEN'T HAD A LOT OF LUCK.
>> THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING IS IT'S GIVEN TO YOU THROUGH THERE SO YOU CAN FIND ALL OF THEM. IF YOU NEED ANY HELP FINDING THAT JUST LET ME KNOW I'D GO GLAD TO HELP WITH THAT.
THAT'S WHERE ALL THE MINUTES ARE KEPT AND VIDEOS FOR EVERY MEETING. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE WHICH
IS ON YOUTUBE. >> OKAY, WELL, GOOD.
>> I HAD A QUESTION. BECAUSE RELATIVELY SIX MONTHS NEW I GUESS. SO HAVE BEEN READING OUR A ACTUAL-- SECTION 12 SEVEN AND EIGHT.
IT SAYS THAT COPIES OF THE MINUTES WOULD BE GIVEN TO US.
>> THEY ARE. IN YOUR AGENDA EVERY WEEK.
>> I THOUGHT IT WAS PRINTED OFF AT THE MEETINGS OR SOMETHING
LIKE THAT. >> OH NO THEY ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU HOWEVER YOUR AGENDA IS GIVEN TO YOU FOR THE MEETING.
THEY ARE ATTACHED TO EVERY AGENDA FOR THE MEETING.
BUT I DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER THE AGENDA.
I WORK DIRECTLY FOR THE CLERK. AND ONLY BECAUSE OF AMENDMENT TEN BACK IN 2020. I JUST DO THE MINUTES FOR EACH MEETING. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE AGENDA. BUT THEY ARE PUT ON THE AGENDA FOR YOUR REVIEW BEFORE EACH MEETING.
>> WELL THIS IS SOMEWHAT RELEVANT TO WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR HOW MUCH OF THIS KIND OF WORK THAT YOU DO FOR US AS A COMMITTEE, IS-- IT SAYS THAT WE MUST ELECT A CHAIR, A VICE CHAIR AND A SECRETARY. AND PEOPLE HAVE SAID WELL YOU DON'T NEED IT FOR MINUTES ANYMORE.
WE DON'T NEED ALL OF THAT. HOWEVER, SOME OF THESE THINGS CALLED LIKE PETITIONS FOR HISTORIC DESIGNATIONS.
APPARENTLY SOMEONE COULD WALK IN AND GET A FORM AND HANDLE IT TO US. AND WE RESPOND.
IS THAT SOMETHING YOU RESPOND? >> NO, MA'AM.
I SPECIFICALLY DO ONLY THE MINUTES.
[00:05:01]
ANY BOARD OF COMMISSIONER OR DRIVEN MEETING.I DO THE MINUTES FOR. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE.
THAT'S IT. I KNOW IT SAYS IN THERE FOR THE SECRETARY BUT THAT CHANGED IN 2020 BECAUSE THE VOTERS VOTED FOR THIS POSITION TO GO TO THE CLERK OF THE COURT.
>> I THINK PART OF THE SECRETARY I'M THINKING IF SOMEBODY WROTE A LETTER TO US SAYING THANK YOUER IN.
OR I'D LIKE YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS, YOU KNOW.
>> IF SOMEBODY WAS TO SEND THAT TO ME I WOULD DIRECTLY SEND IT TO STAFF. WHICH WOULD BE MS. CARSEN.
IF I GET ANYTHING LIKE THAT OR PHONE CALLS I DIRECT THEM DIRECTLY TO WHO THEY NEED TO SPEAK TO WHICH WOULD BE STAFF
OVER HERE. >> AND SO IF ANYONE PROVIDED A PET PETITION, I WOULD RECEIVE IT THEN PRESENT IT TO YOU AT THE NEXT MEETING.
AND AS FAR AS CORRESPONDENCE, ANYBODY CAN REACH OUT TO YOU DIRECTLY TO YOUR E-MAIL? IS ON THE WEBSITE?
>> WHILE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT E-MAILS.
I KNOW I SENT YOU AN E-MAIL NOMINATING SOMEONE AND I DON'T SEE THEM ON THE LIST. WELL I DO BECAUSE I WAS RECOMMENDING SHAUN SHAWN FOR CHAIR AND STEVEN FOR VICE CHAIR. AND I TEXTED AND GOT A REPLY TO YOU AT THE LAST MINUTE. AND I'M ON THE COMMITTEE.
SO NOMINATING COMMITTEE. >> YES, MA'AM, YOU TOLD ME VERBALLY OVER THE PHONE THAT YOU AGREED WITH RITA'S NOMINATION OF THEM BECAUSE HI SHARED THAT WITH YOU.
SO I JUST DID NOT INCLUDE YOU IN THAT NOMINATION AS A SECOND
BECAUSE WE WERE JUST--. >> I ALSO ATTEMPTED TO SEND A WRITTEN RESPONSE TO YOU ALSO. WHICH I THOUGHT HI PRINTED OFF HERE. BUT I'M NOT SEEING IT.
>> I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES.
>> SECOND. >> MINUTES ARE APPROVED.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOUR? MINUTES ARE APPROVED.
WE ARE ONTO PUBLIC COMMENT. NO ONE'S HERE.
[Old Business]
NOW WE ARE INTO OLD BUSINESS. THE FIRST DISCUSSION OF THESLATE CANDIDATES. >> SO I PROVIDED TO YOU THE SUMMARY WHICH WAS ALSO PROVIDED IN YOUR MINUTES.
OR YOUR INVITE FOR THE MEETING HERE TODAY.
THE NOMINATIONS FOR CHAIR OR VICE CHAIR.
AND HOW THEY WERE NOMINATED. IF YOU HAVE A COPY OF THAT IN FRONT OF YOU? YES, BARBARA DID CONFIRM ALSO THAT SHE AGREED WITH RITA'S NOMINATION FOR SHAWN AS CHAIR AND STEVEN AS VICE CHAIR. MELISSA OBVIOUSLY NOMINATED JERRY AND JERRY, YOU PROVIDED AN E-MAIL THAT SAID YOU WERE NOT INTERESTED BECAUSE YOU WERE GOING TO BE TRAVELLING.
>> WELL I DON'T THINK I HARDLY QUALIFY BECAUSE MY TERM WILL BE ENDING VERY SHORTLY. SO NO, YEAH.
>> YOUR TERM. >> I WOULD RATHER DEFER.
YEAH. SOREY I'D RATHER DEFER TO SHAWN, NEW BLOOD. HE'S GOT A GREAT VOICE.
YES. >> I JUST HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE PROCESS. MY RECOLLECTION IS THAT THE LAST MEETING WE HAD FORMED A COMMITY THAT WAS GOING TO DO THE NOMINATIONS. CAN I ASK WHAT HAPPENED WITH
THAT? >> WELL, WHAT HAPPENED IN A WAY IS WE WERE TOLD WE HAD TO FIND A CERTAIN PLACE AND NOT TALK TO EACH OTHER AND NOT PROVIDE TELEPHONE NUMBERS.
BUT WHEN THIS LIST WENT LIKE RITA NOMINATED.
I WENT OH-- THAT'S A GOOD CHOICE.
SO I LET BETH KNOW I AGREED WITH THAT.
SO WE DIDN'T ACTUALLY CALL PEOPLE.
AND AT THAT TIME WHEN I TALKED TO HER VERBALLY ON THE PHONE, SHE WAS SAYING THAT SHE WOULD CONTACT YOU AND SHAWN TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU WANTED THE JOB. AND I DIDN'T HEAR BACK YOUR RESPONSE. WE'RE HOPING YOU DO.
AND WE AS IN TWO OF THE THREE SAID IT PUBLIC.
I DON'T KNOW. GERRY'S THE THIRD ONE.
>> OKAY, YEAH. I WAS JUST CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE COMMITTEE DURING THE NOMINATIONS.
>> PART OF IT WAS HOW TO GET TOGETHER AND WHAT'S THE FORMAT.
I THINK IT'S THE FIRST TIME OR AT LEAST IN FIVE YEARS THAT WE'VE DONE IT. ALTHOUGH IT IS REQUIRED THAT WE DO IT. SO MAYBE NEXT YEAR WE'LL GET MORE ORGANIZED AS FAR AS DOING IT.
>> THE FINAL DETAIL THAT THE STAFF SEEMED TO BE IMPLYING THAT WE OUGHT TO ACTUALLY PHYSICALY CALL EACH CANDIDATE IN, FOR AN INTERVIEW, WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN DONE TO MY
KNOWLEDGE. >> YES, SO THAT SEEMED TO BE THE FINAL STRAW IS IMPRACTICALABLE WITHIN THE
[00:10:02]
SHORT COMPASS OF TIME WE HAD TO WORK IN.>> IS THAT ACCURATE JUST FOR FUTURE REFERENCE?
>> SO I BELIEVE IN THE LAST MEETING THERE WAS DISCUSSION ABOUT HAVING A SUB-COMMITTEE MEETING.
AND YOU WANTED TO INTERVIEW THE CANDIDATES.
I BELIEVE THAT WAS WHAT YOU HAD STATED.
AND SO IN ORDER TO INTERVIEW THEM, YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE
THEM IN A PUBLIC SETTING. >> NOT REALLY INTERVIEWING.
MOST PLACES IN EVERYBODY'S BEEN ON COMMITTEES AND THEY USUALLY HAVE NOMINATING COMMITTEES, THEY USUALLY ARE HELD PRIVATELY. WITH THE THREE PEOPLE WITH TELEPHONE NUMBERS SO THAT WHEN WE ALL GET TOGETHER AND SAY HEY WE'D LIKE-- WE WOULD LIKE SHAWN, WE'D CALL HIM UP AND SAY SHAWN, WE'D REALLY LIKE YOU TO BE.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE? AND STEVE, OR DO YOU WANT TO RUN FOR CHAIR? INSTEAD OF SHAWN.
OR ARE YOU HAPPY LEARNING THE ROPES THE FIRST TIME? AND SO AT THIS POINT, BETH SAID WE COULD NOT DO THAT.
WE HAD TO DO EVERYTHING PUBLICALLY.
WHICH I DON'T BELIEVE I FOUND IT IN SUNSHINE LAW.
THEY DON'T REALLY TALK ABOUT NOMINATING COMMITTEES.
THEY TALK ABOUT ONE NOMINATING COMMITTEE WAS MENTIONED.
AND THEY DID HOLD THEM PRIVATELY.
BECAUSE HOW CAN YOU TALK ABOUT PEOPLE AND HAVE IT GO ON A PUBLIC RECORD WHEN YOU'RE REALLY SAYING OH, SHE'S TOO NEGATIVE. I DON'T THINK SHE'D DO WELL IN PUBLIC. OR HEY THIS GUY IS SO FANTASTIC HE'S BRAND NEW, REALLY GUNG-HO FOR HIM.
THAT IS NOT USUALLY KEPT IN MINUTES.
THE FACT THAT WE NOMINATED YOU IS IN MINUTES.
AND I SAY WE BECAUSE 2 OUT OF 3 CAME OUT PUBLICALLY SAYING THIS IS WHAT WE WOULD LIKE. WE DIDN'T NEED TO TALK TO YOU.
WE FEEL LIKE WE KNOW YOU WELL ENOUGH.
ZBLOK, FOR FUTURE REFERENCE I WANTED TO DISCUSS WHAT
HAPPENED. >> WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE HAPPEN IF YOU WERE ON A NOMINATING?
>> WELL I JUST THAT WE FOLLOW WHATEVER WE'RE GOING TO SAY WE DO. AND I LIKE THE LAST DAY LAST MINUTE I FOUND OUT THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE A NOMINATING COMMITTEE AND WE WERE DOING NOMINATIONS FROM THE FLOOR.
SO I WAS CAUGHT RATHER OFF GUARD.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHO QUALIFIED. I WAS TOLD SHAWN WAS UNABLE TO QUALIFY BECAUSE HE'S ONE OF MY FIRST THOUGHTS.
SO IT CREATED A LOT OF CONFUSION LAST MINUTE STUFF ON MY BEHALF WHERE I DIDN'T THINK I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROPERLY THINK THROUGH AND HELP WITH THE PROCESS.
>> SO THE COUNTY ATTORNEY WAS CONSULTED ON THIS.
AND SHE RESPONDED WITH THAT SHAWN IF HE APPLIED FOR CONTINUATION ON THE BOARD, AS LONG AS YOU WERE EXTENDED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, YOU WOULD BE ELIGIBLE. AND SO YOU COULD THEN BE ELIGIBLE FOR CHAIR. AND IF YOU WEREN'T EXTENDED, THEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO COME UP WITH AN ALTERNATIVE.
SO IT'S A MATTER OF THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN A HISTORICAL SOCIETY. THIS IS A BOARD.
A PUBLIC BOARD THAT HAS TO ACT IN SUNSHINE.
SO HISTORICAL SOCIETY CAN ACT DIFFERENTLY.
YOU CAN GO HAVE PRIVATE MEETINGS AND DISCUSS THINGS AND PEOPLE AND THAT KIND OF THING. SO THE PROCESS WAS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE YOUR COMMITTEE MEETING AND YOU COULD CALL IN YOUR CANDIDATES AND INTERVIEW THEM AS THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE. BUT BECAUSE THIS WAS THE LIMITED SLATE THAT WE HAD IN DISCUSSING IT WITH BARBARA, I BELIEVE YOU FELT THERE WAS NO NEED TO HAVE THE MEETING.
>> RIGHT. WELL I THOUGHT IF I CAME UP WITH TWO CHOICES THAT RITA DID. AND WE WERE TWO ON THE COMM COMMITTEE.
NO, WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT IT OTHER THAN THAT.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF GERRY COMMUNICATED TO YOU DIRECTLY
WHAT HE THOUGHT. >> HE DID SEND AN E-MAIL LATER.
YES. >> IF HE'S IN AGREEMENT WITH
IT. >> HE WAS VOICING HIS OPINION OF I DON'T RECALL GERRY IF YOU HAD SAID YOUR OPINION OF THE CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR NOMINEES. I KNOW IT SAID SOMETHING ABOUT YOU WERE NOT-- YOU WOULD BE TRAVELLING.
>> WELL YEAH I ALSO SUPPORTED THE PREVIOUS NOMINATION OF SHAWN AND STEVE. THAT WAS IN MY MESSAGE, I BELIEVE. YEAH.
>> THEN YOU'RE UNANIMOUS BASICALLY.
>> ALL RIGHT JUST WANTED TO BRING IT UP SO THAT IN THE FUTURE PERHAPS WE CAN, WE MAY HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING HERE HOW TO PROCEED BETTER IN THE FUTURE.
ALL RIGHT. >> SO NOW-- WE TAKE A VOTE ON
CONFIRM THESE PEOPLE. RIGHT? I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THE SLATE.
>> DO I GO TO A MOTION OR TO A VOTE?
>> I MEAN PERHAPS YOU SHOULD CLARIFY THE SLATE.
YOURSELF FOR CHAIR AND STEVEN AS VICE CHAIR, MELISSA I BELIEVE YOU SAID YOU WERE NOT INTERESTED.
[00:15:01]
>> NO. UNLESS THERE'S NO OTHER OPTION.
>> OKAY SO THAT'S MY PROPOSAL. SO DOES IT NEED TO BE SECONDED?
OR DO WE JUST VOTE? >> SO THE SLATE FOR CHAIR FOR MYSELF AND FOR VICE CHAIR STEVEN GRIFFETH AND IF ANYONE WANTS TO, I WOULD LIKE TO MOTION.
>> CALL FOR A VOTE. ALL FOR YES SAY AYE.
VOTE IS CLOSED. >> OKAY SO YOU HAVE YOUR SLATE.
SO TECHNICALITY VOTE OCCURS IN THE JUNE MEETING.
SO I WILL PUT THE THREE, YOUR TWO NAMES ON THE AGENDA FOR VOTING. AND THEN THE WINNERS WOULD TAKE
OFFICE IN AUGUST. >> AND THE VOTE GOES THROUGH AT THE COUNTY COMMISSIONER MEETING? IS THAT? OKAY.
>> NO IT'S THIS MEETING. >> OKAY.
BUT THERE WOULD BE AT THAT TIME NOMINATIONS FROM THE FLOOR WHO COULD BE MADE. THAT'S WHAT I READ IN HERE.
>> WE HAVE A CEMETERY WORK UPDATE ON SECOND ITEM.
>> WELL I THINK EVERYONE WILL BE RELIEVED THAT THIS SHOULD BE FAIRLY SHORT TODAY. WE HAD THE FLORIDA PUBLIC ARKER LOGICAL NETWORK COME OUT AND THEY ARE DOING THEIR GROUND SURVEY. THEIR MACHINE WAS DOWN FOR AWHILE. AND THEY ARE GOING TO KEEP COMING OUT EVERY MONTH UNTIL WE GET MOST OF ALL THE CEMETERIES SURVEYED. AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH MY
UPDATE. >> I HAVE KATHY'S INFORMATION.
SO REGARDING THE SOUTER CEMETERY THERE WAS A KEEP CLAY BEAUTIFUL EVENT ON APRIL 20TH. AND ABLE TO CLEAN UP THE VEGETATION. THERE WAS ALSO SOME STONE CLEANING THAT WAS COMPLETED. AND AN APPLICATION SUBMITTED TO THE VA FOR JAMES STONE. AND REGARDING THE MCKENDRE CEMETERY. SOME VOLUNTEERS CAME OUT TO THAT SITE TO DO SOME VEGETATION CLEAN-UP.
THERE WAS SOME STONE REPAIRS DONE AND THERE WAS MORE TO DO IN MAY. AND-- DONATED SPLICE FOR CEMETERY WORK. THAT IS KATHY'S UPDATE FOR THE
MONTH. >> IS THERE A PROJECTED TIME BY WHICH THE F PAN SURVEY WILL BE WRAPPED UP?
>> NOT REALLY. BUT THEY'LL HAVE ENOUGH OF IT DONE THAT WE HOPE TO PRESENT FOR THE CLAY COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY IN JANUARY AND I WILL PRESENT WITH THE ARCHAEOLOGIST EMILY MOORE TOGETHER ABOUT THE CEM CEMETERY. SO WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ABOUT 80% OF IT DONE BY THEN. ENOUGH TO REALLY GET A KIND OF A GOOD PICTURE OF WHAT WE HAVE OUT THERE.
>> WNT TO MOVE INTO OUR THIRD ITEM.
DISCUSSION OF COMMUNITY RECOGNITION CATEGORIES.
>> SO LAST MONTH STEVE HAD PROVIDED SOME CATEGORIES AND YOU ALL ASKED US TO HAVE IT PUT ON THE AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION AT
THIS MONTH'S MEETING. >> AND IF I COULD COMMENT, I DIDN'T MEAN FOR THESE TO BE GROUND IN STONE.
THIS WAS JUST MY FIRST INITIAL THINKING.
ANY INPUT YOU GUYS CAN GIVE, OR THOUGHTS THAT YOU HAD ABOUT IT
WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. >> WELL I THINK YOU MENTIONED THAT THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY OF THE CEMETERY YOU'VE BEEN WORKING SO HARD ON WAS VERY CORDIAL AND COOPERATIVE AND HELPFUL. AND BEYOND THE USUAL JUST PERMISSION. SO I WOULD CERTAINLY BE IN FAVOUR OF HIM BEING NOMINATED FOR THAT KIND OF RECOGNITION.
THERE ARE A COUPLE PEOPLE OR MORE ON THIS BOARD.
>> ALL RIGHT, WELL FOR A MATTER OF LET'S PUT THIS TO USE.
THIS WAS THE LANDOWNER CHA CHARLIE-- THAT OWNED THE LAND
[00:20:03]
AROUND THE CEMETERY. HE ENDED UP HELPING CLEAR ALL THE STUMPS WITH HIS OWN MONEY AND PUTTING A FENCE AROUND IT.AND THEN JUST BEING TOTALLY 100% SUPPORTIVE OF US.
SO WHAT CATEGORY-- LET'S MAKE SURE OUR CATEGORIES WORK HERE.
WHAT WOULD YOU SEE THIS FALLING UNDER?
>> PRESERVING. I MEAN THAT WOULD BE THE MAIN.
>> ALL RIGHT. >> I LIKE THE CATEGORIES.
BUT I THINK THIS IS BRAND NEW SO I THINK WE HAVE TO KIND OF DEVELOP MORE HOW MANY, WHEN, WHERE, WHO, WHAT'S THE PROCESS.
DO WE PRINT OUT A LITTLE PIECE OF PAPER? DO WE GO TO A PRINT SHOP WITH SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE A CERTIFICATE. DO WE INVITE THEM THEOR PRAISE THEM IN PERSON? I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD TO DO THAT BECAUSE SOUNDS LIKE IT IS A NICE THING TO DO.
BUT BECAUSE WE'RE LEGAL, I THINK WE NEED TO SET MORE.
I LIKE THE AREAS OF RECOGNITION.
THAT SOUND GOOD. SO THREE GOIRS.
WHERE WHEN WHAT. WHO IS PATING FOR THE CERTIFICATE IF IT'S NOT JUST A PIECE OF PAPER.
>> SO THE COUNTY'S COMMUNICATIONS TEAM WOULD BE DESIGNING THE CERTIFICATE. SO WE NEEDED TO HAVE THE PARTICULAR CATEGORIES THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO HAVE RECOGNITION FOR. SO THAT THEY CAN DESIGN THE CERTIFICATES FOR YOU. SO THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF GETTING THIS STARTED HERE SO THAT WE CAN GET THEM GET STARTED ON DESIGNING THE CERTIFICATES.
>> WELL HOW ABOUT I MOVE THAT WE CREATE A CATEGORY CALLED CERTIFICATES OF RECOGNITION. THAT THIS BOARD WILL HAND OUT THREE A MONTH? FIVE A MONTH?
>> I'M CONCERNED IF WE PUT A NUMBER ON IT WE MIGHT BE AT
TIMES. >> JUST GIVING IT AWAY.
YEAH. >> WHY DON'T WE GET THE CERTIFICATE DESIGNED. WHY DON'T WE TRY GIVING ONE TO SOMEBODY THAT IS LIKE CHARLIE THAT WE KNOW.
RICHARD KONOFF WHO WAS VERY HELPFUL.
AS WELL. AND SEE HOW THE PROCESS WORKS.
AND THEN TALK ABOUT HOW OFTEN AND HOW WE WOULD MOVE FORWARD
FROM THERE. >> OKAY WELL I MODIFY MY PROPOSAL. WHAT WOULD YOU EVEN CALL THIS?
WHAT AM I SAYING? >> A MOTION.
>> YEAH, I MOVE THAT WE START A RECOGNITION CERTIFICATE BY THIS BOARD. DETAILS TO BE AMENDED LATER.
>> OKAY. AND AS FOR HAVING SOMEONE YEAH I'D LOVE TO HAVE SOMEONE ACTUALLY COME IN AND BE RECOGNIZED IN FRONT OF THE BOARD.
>> BE ON TV. >> YEAH THE CERTIFICATE WOULD BE PART OF THAT. RECEIVING THE CERTIFICATE.
>> AND SO OUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM ALONG WITH DESIGNING THE CERTIFICATE, THEY ARE ALSO THE ONES THAT PUT OUT INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE. CREATE CONTENT FOR THE WEBSITE.
AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO A STORY THE FEATURE.
THAT'S WHY WE WOULD NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE ADVANCE TIME SO WE CAN GET INFORMATION FROM WHOEVER IS WANTING TO RECOGNIZE THIS INDIVIDUAL OR COMPANY OR WHATEVER.
SO I THINK THE FIRST STEP IS GET CATEGORIES DETERMINEED.
SECOND IS DESIGN IT FOR YOU. I'LL BRING IT BACK TO YOU SO YOU CAN SEE IT AND THEN YOU CAN BE THINKING WHO YOU WANT TO BE RECOGNIZING BASED ON THE CATEGORIES YOU ARRIVE AT.
HOPEFULLY YOU CAN ARRIVE TONIGHT.
THINK ABOUT WHO YOU WANT TO BRING BACK TO RECOGNIZE AND WHY. AND WE'LL NEED INFORMATION FROM YOU PROPER COMMUNICATIONS TEAM TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU TO FIND OUT THE STORY. WHAT'S THE REASON BEHIND IT.
SO THAT WOULD BE MY SUGGESTION. >> NOT SURE.
>> THE BACKGROUND OF ALL THIS. >> NOT SURE IN OUR MINUTES PERSON SAY WHAT MY FINAL MOTION WAS?
>> OKAY I KNOW I WASN'T CLEAR. >> EVERYTHING ELSE IS TOUCHING ON THE BUSINESS. AND THEN WHO PRESENTED THE ITEM. WHO BROUGHT IT UP.
WHAT THE BUSINESS THAT WAS DISCUSSED.
BUT YOUR VOTE WILL HAVE TO BE EXACTLY HOW IT WAS SAID.
SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO JUST CLARIFY EXACTLY HOW YOU WORD THE VOTE. AND THEN EXACTLY HOW IT IS IS
HOW IT WILL BE IN THE MINUTES. >> OKAY I MOVE THAT WE CREATE CERTIFICATES OF RECOGNITION TO BE AWARDED TO PEOPLE THAT FOLLOW INTO EXCESSIVE. EXTREME HELPFULNESS TO OUR
[00:25:04]
>> I WOULD LIKE TO SECOND. >> MOTIONING FOR THAT.
DOES THAT CLOSE OUT THE DISCUSSION ON THAT?
[New Business]
BETH? THAT DOES? OKAY. WE'LL MOVE ONTO NEW BUSINESS.DESECRATION VERSUS IDENTIFICATION VERSUS RESTORATION FOR OUR CEMETERIES. DUTIES OF HISTORICAL PRESERVATION SOCIETY. BARBARA?
>> YES, I PUT THAT ON PARTLY ECAUSE HISTORICALLY THE IDEA I STARTED RESEARCHING WHAT DIFFERENT GROUPS.
WHAT THEIR BURIAL CUSTOMS ARE. IT WAS QUITE FASCINATING.
I'LL PRESENT IT LATER. SORT OF DIFFERENT CULTURES.
WHAT HAPPENED IN-- THEY'LL SAY THIS IS A BLACK CEMETERY OR SOMETHING. WELL WE BELIEVE CEMETERIES SHOULD BE NEAT. WELL IN THE SLAVE DAYS THEY WOULD HAVE HUSH CEREMONIES BECAUSE THEY HAD TO DO IT AT NIGHT IN SECRET. THEY WOULD ACTUALLY SOMETIMES BURY PEOPLE IN SWAMPY MARSHY LANDS SO THAT NO ONE WOULD DISTURB THE GRAVES LATER. IT WAS NOT A GOOD TIME.
I MEAN THE TIMES OF LYNCHING WHAT DO YOU THINK A BUNCH OF TEENAGE BOYS WOULD DO TO A NEW GRAVE.
IN MY CULTURE, NORDIC CULTURE, WE DON'T DO A BIG DEAL.
WE PUT THEM IN THE GROUND AND WE LIKE TO PLANT A TREE ON THEM. SO EVERY TIME I HEAR WE'RE CUTTING DOWN ALL THE TREES ON THE CEMETERY, AND IT'S PART OF THE IDEA OF I WILL THEN PLANT AN ORANGE TREE ON ME.
AND THEN I HAVE HELPED FERTILIZE THAT TREE AND HELPED IT TO GROW. AND GIVEN-- SHARED A LIFE.
THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHER ONES ABOUT THAT LIKE DO THEY PRESERVE GRAVE SITES A LONG TIME OR NOT.
I JUST THINK WE SHOULD MAKE SURE IT'S ONE THING TO IDENTIFY. AND TO RESPECT.
BUT THE IDEA OF HAVING TO MAKE THEM LOOK LIKE A METHODIST CEMETERY ISN'T NECESSARILY TRUE.
WE'VE HAD PROBLEMS FINDING, OR KATHY HAS, FINDING INFORMATION ON CATHOLIC CEMETERIES. THIS WAS A SPANIS AREA.
I DON'T HEAR US GOING BACK. I THINK ONE OF THE ONES SHE SAID WAS RECENT THE LAST PERSON BURIED WAS IN 1979 TO ME THAT'S VERY RECENT. WE'RE IN FLORIDA ST. AUGUSTINE OR SETTLEMENTS EVEN BEFORE THAT.
E SPECIALLY-- I JUST THINK IT WOULD BE NICE TO GO BACK A LITTLE FURTHER. AND HAVE SOME SPANISH CEMETERIES. MAYBE HAVE THE NATIVE AMERICANS WHO LIVED HERE. WHAT WERE THEIR PRACTICES? MAYBE WE SHOULD PUT UP A MARKER THAT THIS WAS WHERE THEIR VILLAGE WAS AND THEY, THIS WAS WHERE THEY BURIED THEM.
BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO CLEAR CUT IT.
SO I KNOW ALL THAT WAS WITH GOOD INTENT.
BUT THAT'S WHY I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR JOB ISN'T DONE WITH OUR TODAY KNOWLEDGE. AND THAT WE WOULD MAKE IT MORE HISTORIC. AND UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU BURIED PEOPLE AND THEY WOULD PUT WHITE SHELLS ON THEIR GRAVE. THEY DIDN'T PUT MARKERS UP.
THAT WAS THEIR WAY OF COMMUN COMMUNICATING. SO LET'S JUST SAY JUST PERSONALLY AND THEY DO HAVE SOME NATURAL BURIALS NOW WHERE THEY WRAP YOU IN A COTTON SHEET AND THEY PLANT A TREE ON YOU.
BECAUSE THAT'S JUST KIND OF A, IT'S IN SOCHL OUR HERITAGES.
SO LET'S TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T UNDO THINGS THE WAY THEY WANTED IT DONE. SO CUTTING DOWN TREE OVER ME WOULD HAVE BEEN THE WRONG THING TO DO.
JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT POINT. A BIT OFFHAND.
IF WE DON'T JOKE AROUND AND WE FIND SOME O THINGS.
IF WE SAY HEY THIS IS A GREAT HISTORIC HOUSE, WE DON'T USUALLY JUST START GOING IN AND SAYING HEY I COULD PUT IN A NEW SINK. HEY, I CAN DO THIS.
YOU KNOW TO ME, WHEN I READ THROUGH WHAT OUR DUTIES ARE, IT'S A LOT OF FINDING OUT THE HISTORY.
DOING ALL THIS. AND I KNOW YOU'RE IN OTHER HISTORICAL SOCIETIES THAT DO THE WORK AND CLEAR THE GROUND.
I JUST I MEAN WHEN I READ THROUGH WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO
[00:30:02]
DO, YOU KNOW IT'S IDENTIFYING. DESIGNATING.APPROVING. AND PETITIONS FOR HISTORIC DESIGNATIONS. RESEARCHING.
FINDING OUT ARE THEY VALID? IT'S NOT TOO MUCH THE FUN PART.
OR I FIND IT SATISFYING TO DO WHAT YOU DID.
THE ACTUAL RESTORATION OF THESE PROPERTIES.
YOU KNOW WE MIGHT TRY TO HELP THEM GET A GRANT.
OR-- AND SINCE-- I MEAN JUST KIND OF CURIOUS THE OTHER PART.
IS ONE OF OUR DUTIES IS WHEN PEOPLE SEND IN AHISTORIC DESIGNATION. WE'RE SUPPOSED TO REVIEW IT.
COME UP AND HAVE MEETINGS. AND I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE OCTOBER. AND I DON'T REMEMBER EVER HEARING ABOUT A PETITION FOR HISTORIC DESIGNATIONS.
I JUST WONDERED HOW MANY DO WE G
GET? >> IN FIVE YEARS THERE'S BEEN NONE. AND THERE WAS NONE BEFORE THAT.
SO IT MEANS THAT A PERSON WOULD HAVE TO MAKE THEIR PROPERTY SUBJECT TO SOME REGULATION. SOME EVALUATION BY THIS BOARD.
AND THERE'S NO INCENTIVE NECESSARILY TO DO THAT.
SOME OTHER COUNTIES, CITIES HAVE A FINANCIAL INCENTIVE.
BUT YOU WOULD HAVE TO FIND RECEPTIVE.
>> I WATCHED THE PRESENTATION THAT WE WERE ABLE TO WATCH.
I THINK RITA WAS ON IT TOO. YES I SAW A MEMBER ON THERE.
AND JUST SOME OF IT. I GUESS WHO IS IN THE PANHANDLE SOMEWHERE. LIKE TRYING TO PICK OUT WHICH COLOURS IS OKAY FOR THIS PERSON TO PAINT THEIR HOUSE.
AND SO-- TO ME I'M APPARENTLY I LIVE IN THE HISTORIC HOUSE.
I DON'T THINK SO. I LIKE THE HISTORIC.
BUT I'LL HAVE TO TALK TO THE STATE LEGISLATURE ABOUT THAT.
? I CAN SEE AN ADVANTAGE OF THE ONLY THING THAT I READ IN OUR THING.
THE ONLY ADVANTAGE IS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO NECESSARILY DO MODERN BUILDING CODES AND STUFF.
YOU MUST HAVE TWO FEET AWAY FR HEATING SOURCE.
WHERE YOUR LEK TRIG SIS VERSUS YOUR BATHTUB THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO. YOU CAN MAYBE BUILD SMALLER ROOMS OR SMALLER CLOSETS OR WHATEVER ALL THE BUILDING CODES
ARE. >> I THINK WE COULD ENERGIZE TLA TOPIC AND GET MORE GOING IN ORDER TO GET US BACK ON TRACK WHERE WE'RE DESIGNATING AND HAVE AN ACTIVITY.
SO THERE'S OPPORTUNITY THERE FOR ME AND I BELIEVE THAT BETH IS PROBABLY CORRECT WHEN IT COME TONS SENTIVES.
AND THE STRUCTURE RIGHT NOW IS NOT REALLY.
I THINK LEANING THAT WAY. BUT IT'S NOT TO SAY THAT'S OUR DUTY. AND IF WE CARE ABOUT THESE BUILDINGS, I BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD ENERGIZE MORE AREAS.
>> I THINK WHAT WAS SHOCKING IS IN ALL OUR PAGES, I WOULD IMAGINE IT WOULD BE THE OWNER OF A PROPERTY.
BUT SOMEONE ELSE CAN ACTUALLY PUT IN ONE OF THESE PETITIONS FOR HISTORIC DESIGNATIONS. OTHER THAN THE OWNER.
AND THEN THE OWNER HAS TO--. >> ACQUIESCE.
OTHERWISE IT GOES NOWHERE. BUT THERE IS A GOOD IDEA.
YOU CAN TALK IT UP. BUT I THINK THE OTHER KEY TO MAKING THIS HAPPEN IS TO SOMEHOW ARRIVE AT AN ACCEPTABLE AY OF DESIGNATING CERTAIN AREAS.
OR BUILDINGS TO BE A HISTORIC DISTRICT.
THE WAY THEY ARE DONE IN ST. AUGUSTINE AND JACKSONVILLE IN PLACES LIKE THAT. SO EVEN GREEN COWOULD GET ONE OR TWO DEPENDING ON HOW YOU LOOK AT IT.
BUT WE HAVEN'T ACTUALLY GOTTEN MUCH FARTHER.
AND UNINCORPORATED AREAS WITH DESIGNATED HISTORIC SECTIONS OR EVEN INDIVIDUAL STRUCTURES. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT DESERVES A LOT OF-- AND I HAVE TO SAY, I'VE MEANT TO DO MORE OF THAT MYSELF. FIND OUT WHAT JACKSONVILLE'S DIFFERENT-- HISTORIC DESIGNATION AREAS ARE.
AND WHAT THEY REQUIRE. AND IF WE DID AND IF WE SOMEHOW GOT THE COOPERATION OF THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
PERHAPS THEY COULD BUILD A LITTLE BIT OF FINANCIAL INCENTIVES INTO IT TOO. THE WAY IT IS OFTEN DONE
ELSEWHERE. >> DID YOU SAY A LOT OF THOSE ARE CONNECTED TO 501CS. THE ACTUAL BOARD THEMSELVES?
>> HISTORICAL SOCIETIES ARE TYPICALLY A 501C3 A PRIVATE
[00:35:04]
NON-PROFIT. THIS BOARD HAS-- OBVIOUSLY TIED TO THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS SO THEY ARE SEPARATE. YOU DO HAVE A LIST IN OUR FILE THAT PROVIDED A LINK TO TO HAVE THE AGE AND ALL THE STRUCTURES TO THE YEAR THEY WERE BUILT. SO YOU COULD BE IDENTIFYING LOEKDZS THAT MAYBE YOU WANT TO CONTACT WITH PROPERTY OWNER AND SUGGEST THEY CONSIDER. AND IF THE LINK IS EXPIRED BECAUSE THEY DO AFTER TIME PERIOD AND IT'S NOT WORKING AND YOU CAN'T ACCESS THE FILES. LET ME KNOW AND I WILL SEND YOUA FRESH LINK. >> ARE WE AWARE.
WHAT INCENTIVES ON THE BOARD TO OFFER AND WHAT NOT AND THE
STRUCTURE OF THAT? >> RIGHT NOW THERE ARE NONE.
YOU COULD LOOK AT OTHER COUNTIES AND SEE WHAT THEY EVER. TYPICALLY IT'S A FINANCIAL LIKE A TAX INCENTIVE. BUT--.
>> SO FAR AS MY IMPRESSION FROM LISTENING TO SOME OF THESE EXP EXPERTS.
WEBINARS. GIVING DETAILS ABOUT INCENTIVES. FINANCIAL INCENTIVES.
SO FAR, THEY ALMOST ALWAYS SEEM TO INVOLVE HISTORIC COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES. VERY LITTLE HAVE I SEEN ABOUT IN FLORIDA. SEEN NOTHING VERY LITTLE ABOUT PRIVATE DWELLINGS. BUT THAT'S NOT TO SAY WE COULDN'T. YOU KNOW COULD CERTAINLY BE BUILT INTO A TAX EXEMPTION. AND SOME THINGS LIKE THAT.
I THINK WOULD BE THE WAY TO GO. >> THIS JUST REMINDED ME DID YOU MAKE ANY HEADWAY WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF THE OLD JAIL BECOMING ON THE NATIONAL REGISTRY?
>> I HAVE SPOKEN TO-- AND WE ARE GOING TO COORDINATE AT TIMES. I KNOW THE HOURS ARE A LITTLE BIT TRICKY FOR ME DURING THE WEEK.
BUT AS A MATTER OF COORDINATION.
AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO PROCEED.
SHE ACTUALLY WAS EXCITED TO HEAR THAT.
CLOSE OUT NEW BUSINESS. IS THAT OKAY, BARBARA? MOVING INTO PUBLIC COMMENT. NO PUBLIC.
[Staff Comments]
NOW TO STAFF COMMENTS? >> I JUST HAVE ONE.
MAY IS NATIONAL HI STORIC PRESERVATION MONTH AND THE COUNTY RECOGNIZES HISTORIC PRESERVATION.
THIS BOARD AS WELL AS THE ARCHIVES OFFICE.
AND THEY WILL BE READING A PROCLAMATION NEXT TUESDAY AFTERNOON. SOME TIME SHORTLY AFTER 4 O'CLOCK. YOU'RE ALL INVITED TO ATTEND AND ME IN THE PHOTO AND BE RECOGNIZED.
BILLY GOULD WILL DEFINITELY BE THERE AND HE MAY SPEAK.
BUT WILL YOU LIT ME KNOW IF YOU'LL BE COMING SO I CAN LET
OUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM. >> WHAT IS THE CONSEQUENCE OF COMING OR NOT IF YOU ARE NOT ONE OF THE LEADERS OF THE PRESE PRESENTATION?
>> YOU KNOW IT'S UP TO YOU. >> OH YES, OKAY.
I SAW AT ONE POINT. THEY WERE SAYING WELL-- MAYBE THEY'LL JUST BE INVITED TO STAND UP WHERE YOU ARE.
AND NOT BE ON THE DAY. IF THERE IS SUCH A THING.
BUT-- YEAH. >> THEY TYPICALLY BRING EVERYONE FORWARD. AND THE COMMISSIONERS WILL COME
DOWN AND TAKE A PICTURE. >> YES, I'VE SEEN THAT DONE.
RIGHT. SO IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK WILL
>> GOOD. >> THAT'S AT THE NEXT COUNTY COMMISSIONER MEETING. CAN YOU SAVE THAT?
>> THE 12TH. >> MAY 12TH AT 4 P.M.
SO DO YOU KNOW YOUR SCHEDULES? IF YOU'LL DEFINITELY BE ABLE
I'LL HAVE TO E-MAIL YOU. >> THANK YOU, IF YOU WOULD.
>> I GUESS I COULD SAY I INTEND TO BE THERE.
BUT WHO KNOWS WHAT MAY HAPPEN IN BETWEEN NOW AND THEN.
THINGS HAPPEN. >> THOUGH JUST WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A LIST OF NAMES. THAT WILL BE THERE.
AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE. >> OKAY.
[Board Member's Comments]
>> ONTO BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS. START WITH BARBARA.
>> I SAID ENOUGH, THANK YOU. >> WELL ONE THAT'S LEFT OVER DETAIL THAT OCCURS TO ME IS WHEN WE LAST SAT OUR MEETING BILLY WAS RESPONDING TO SOMETHING I MENTIONED.
MARKERS WERE NO LONGER VISIBLE TO ME.
ONE WAS FOR FORT SAN FRANCISCO DE-- AND THE OTHER WAS FORT HEILMAN. AND EVENTUALLY HE FOUND BY LOOKING ON HIS OWN PHONE THAT FORT HEILMAN SIGN STILL EXISTS.
BUT IT'S NOT WHERE IT WAS. AND IT'S DOWN VERY CLOSE TO THE GROUND. SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT IT BE PUT CLOSER TO THE OLD MAIN STREET WHERE THAT WAS THE WAY IN. IT WASN'T REALLY A FORT MUCH OF THE TIME. IT WAS A HUGE DEPOT.
SPRAWLING THING. WITH 18 BUILDINGS YOU KNOW.

HORSE STABLES AND ALL THE REST. I'D LIKE TO SEE IT REPLACED WITH A NEW SIGN. BECAUSE I THEY MISSPELLED HEI LRGSMAN WHEN THEY FIRST PUT THE SIGN UP.BUT SO FAR, BILLY SAID HE WAS GOING TO LOOK INTO WHAT
HAPPENED AT THE FORT PUPO SIGN. >> AND HE DID.
>> DID HE TAKE AN IMAGE OF IT? >> BY THE BRIDGE.
HE DIDN'T TAKE AN IMAGE. I'VE SEEN IT AS WELL.
IT'S BY THE-- I'VE SEEN THE PICTURE OF IT.
IT IS BY THE BRIDGE. WHERE THERE'S CONSTRUCTION.
WELL I WILL BY THERE A LOT. AND I-- IT USED TO BE THERE.
BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN IT. SO-- YEAH.
HOPE IT'S NOT BEING REPROCESSED BY SOME ENTERPRISING PEOPLE.
>> STEVE? >> I JUST WANT TO MENTION THAT THIS SATURDAY WILL BE THE CLAY COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY'S RAILROAD FESTIVAL. AND IT HASN'T BEEN DONE FOR 17 OR 18 YEARS, I BELIEVE. SO IT WOULD BE FROM 4 TO 6 AT
THE HISTORIC TRIANGLE. >> VERY GOOD.
IT WAS DONE MORE RECENTLY THAN THAT.
BUT IT DEPENDED APPARENTLY ON THE ENERGY AND THE ORGANIZATION OF THE CLERK OF A GREEN COAST SPRINGS.
AND WHEN HE PASSED AWAY, IT SORT OF WENT DOWN THE DRAIN.
BUT IT WAS STILL BEING DONE WHEN I FIRST ARRIVED 11 YEARS AGO. MIGHT HAVE BEEN 12.
THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING. >> IT HAS BEEN AN ADVANCE FOR AWHILE. IT'S TRUE.
>> AND FOR ME, I JUST LAY OUT WHAT I THINK THE NEXT YEAR.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE'VE TALKED TOO MUCH ABOUT OU GOAL AS A BOARD. BUT FOR THE NEXT YEAR I THINK WE COULD SPEND A LOT OF ENERGY AND EFFORT GETTING BACK AND FAMILIAR WITH OUR ORIGINAL CHARTER.
I KNOW WE'VE MENTIONED THAT BEFORE.
IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYBODY HERE IS ENERGIZED BY IT.
SO WHATEVER SUGGESTIONS COME UP.
LET'S WORK THROUGH THAT PROCESS.
IF YOU GUYS ARE WILLING TO REALLY DO A LOT OF THAT GROUND WORK AND LAY OUT WHAT I THINK WE CAN GET BACK FOR THIS COMMUNITY. UNDERSTANDING WHAT EXACTLY OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS.
