[SPECIAL STAFF RECOGNITION]
WE'LL TURN IT OVER THE CHIEF FOR THE PRESENTATIONS.>> FIRST THING I'M GOING THE DO. IT'S GOING TO BE HARD TO READ THIS AND TALK WITH ONE ON. WE'LL TRY TO DO IT THIS WAY.
I'D ASK IF LIEUTENANT CHRIS AND FIREFIGHTER TO ROUSING CAN COME UP. THEN I'M GOING TO DO A HOME PLATE IN HISTORY THAT IS MORE RECENT THAN THE ONE YOU REFERRED TO. IF YOU GO GOLDEN GAUNTLET IN FRONT OF THE PODIUM AND STAND BETWEEN MYSELF AND THE BOARD.
SORRY ABOUT THE BACKS. ON THE NIGHT OF MAY 6 WHEN MOST OF US WERE WORRIED ABOUT THE PANDEMIC OR HOW WE WERE GOING TO REOPEN IN THE WESTERN PART OF THE PANHANDLE THEY HAD HAD QUITE A DAY. A CONTROLLED BURN THAT WAS STARTED MONDAY OF THAT WEEK GOT OUT OF CONTROL AND BY THAT EVENINGED THE SPREAD TO MORE THAN 2,000 ACRES.
IT DESTROYED OVER A DOZEN HOMES AND THEY HAD OVER 1,000 RESIDENTS EVACUATED AS A RESULT OF THAT.
IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH SANTA ROSA COUNTY AND YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH HOW YOU PASS THE EAST BAY OF PENSACOLA AS WE'RE DRIVING THERE , THE ENTIRE AREA SOUTH OF I10 WAS EVACUATED AS A RESULT OF THE FIRES. WHILE WE HAD GOTTEN REPORTS OF IT THROUGHOUT THE DAY I DON'T THINK ANY OF US THOUGHT WHAT WAS GOING TO TAKE PLACE THAT NIGHT. I THINK ABOUT BETWEEN 8:30 AND 9:00 CHIEF MOTES CALLED ME AND SAID WE JUST GOT A REQUEST FOR REGIONAL DEPLOYMENT WITH THE WILDFIRES.
I WAS THINKING OF SOUTH FLORIDA AT THAT TIME WHO WAS HAVING SOME FIRES. I WAS NOT THINKING OF REQUESTING ANY OF US ON AN IMMEDIATE BASIS TO PICK UP WHAT THEY WERE DOING, GET ON THEIR APPARATUS, DRIVE OVER 350 MILES AND PREPARE TO DEPLOY. IT'S VERY UNUSUAL REQUEST.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY CHRIS WAS WORKING AT ENGINE 20 AND BRAD ROGERS WHO COULDN'T BE WITH US TODAY.
CAMERON I BELIEVE YOU WERE ENGINE 24.
HE WAS DOWN THE ROAD. FIREFIGHTER PERRY WAS WITH CHRIS AND BRAD AT STATION 20. AFTER WE DID CONSULTATION ON HOW ARE WE GOING TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE TO HELP.
ENGINE 20 WAS TOLD TO PACK UP EVERYTHING THEY THOUGHT THEY NEEDED. WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW LONG THEY WERE GOING TO BE THERE OR WHAT THEY WERE GOING INTO.
THEY HAD TO TAKE PANDEMIC PROTECTION SUPPLIES WITH THEM.
IT'S NOT ONLY A WILDFIRE BUT THEY ARE GOING INTO AREAS THAT SCROWLED THE COVID VIRUS PRESENT.
LOAD UP EVERYTHING THEY COULD AND DRIVE ALL NIGHT TO THE PANHANDLE. LUCKILY WHEN YOU GET THERE IT'S A TIME CHANGE SO THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK, YOU GAIN AN HOUR. THEY ARRIVED ABOUT 0700 THAT MORNING. AAFTER A BRIEF RESPITE IMMEDIATELY DEPLOYED AND THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
[00:10:02]
WORKED THE FIRES TO ENSURE PROTECTION.WE'RE RECOGNIZING THEM HERE TODAY WITH A CERTIFICATE THAT AWARD THEM FOR THEIR WORK THEY DID AMONG LONG WITH THE OTHERS.
IT'S CERTAINLY UNIQUE FOR CLAY COUNTY BECAUSE I CAN'T REMEMBER ANYBODY THAT HAD TO RESPOND 350 MILES TO GO TO A FIRE.
CONGRATULATIONS GENTLEMEN. WE'RE GIVING YOU THE CERTIFICATES AND I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE RECOGNITION FOR WHAT THEY'VE DONE. [APPLAUSE]
>> WE ARE RESPECTING PROPER SOCIAL DISTANCING AND NOT DOING HANDSHAKES AND THE OTHER THINGS WE WOULD DESPERATELY LOVE TO DO.
WE ARE TRYING TO WITH HOLD THAT. HERE IS MAYBE THE EVEN MORE FUN PART OF. THIS WE'VE HAD RECENT PROMOTIONS. WE'VE HELD OFF DURING COVID CRISIS. THEY ARE HERE TODAY TO GET THE RECOGNITION. I'D ASK DAVID, CHARLES AND RODNEY TO COME FORWARD ALONG WITH CHIEF MOTES AND WE'RE GOING THE DO THE PINNING CEREMONY. IT'S ABBREVIATED TO WHAT YOU WILL REMEMBER. IT'S KIND OF FUN FOR CHIEF MOTES AND I. WE'VE NOT WORN OUR BRASS SINCE THE START OF THE EVENT TO REDUCE THE ABILITY TO CONTAMINATE UNIFORMS. THEY ARE GOING TO PIN ON BRASS WITH THEIR SIGNIFICANT OTHERS. WOULD YOU COME IN FRONT OF THE PODIUM WITH YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHERS.
>> IF YOU'D DO THE HONORS BYPASSING OUT THE APPROPRIATE COLLAR BASS TO THE TWO CHIEFS AND CAPTAIN.
THEY PRACTICED A LITTLE BIT OUTSIDE.
THEY SHOULD BE PRETTY GOOD. >> LADIES IF YOU WOULD FIN COLOR BRASS ON YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHERS, WE WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
FOR THOSE THAT MAY REMEMBER THIS AND CERTAINLY THOSE THAT WERE IN THE MILITARY THE DAWNING OF THE APPROPRIATE VANCOUVER THE OFFICIAL PASSING OF THAT ON TO THE POSITION.
THEY WILL WEAR THIS NOW THROUGH PROMOTION IN SUPERIOR RANK OR UNTIL RETIREMENT. WHEN YOU RETIRE YOU GET REMEMBERED BY WHATEVER IT WAS THAT YOU GOT LEFT WITH.
IF YOU'D FACE ME, RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND YOU ARE GOING TO REPEAT AFTER ME. WHEN I SAY THE POSITION OF YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO FILL IN THE RIGHT POSITION.
IF YOU CHOOSE A DIFFERENT POSITION THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU GET PROMOTED TO THE RANK S THAT FAIR? I STATE YOUR NAME. DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR THAT I WILL FAITHFULLY EXECUTE THE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE POSITION OF -- SETTING A GOOD EXAMPLE IN ALL ACTIONS AND DEEDS, I WILL SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES , THE STATE OF FLORIDA, THE LAWS AND ORDINANCES OF CLAY COUNTY AND WILL TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITIES EVERYBODY IS AND PROTECT CITIZENS AND VISITORS OF THIS COMMUNITY IN THE DISCHARGE OF MY DUTIES SO HELP ME GOD. CONGRATULATIONS GENTLEMEN, BATTALLION CHIEFS AND CAPTAIN. [APPLAUSE]
. >> THEY ARE GETTING THEIR PRETTY WHITE HELMETS AND CAPTAIN IS GETTING HIS BADGE OF HONOR THAT GOES ON HIS HELMET TO MARK HIM AS A CAPTAIN.
[00:15:04]
THANK YOU LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. WE'LL GO INTO THE FOYER.CHIEF HAS THE CERTIFICATES. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
MR. CHAIRMAN I YIELD BACK THE FLOOR.
>> THANK YOU CHIEF. >> CONGRATULATIONS.
[PRESENTATIONS]
>> WE HAVE A COUPLE OF PRESENTATIONS ON TAP.
ETC. LET'S GET INTO THOSE. THE RIDEOUT POINT PREFER PROJECT. JIM MCCARTHY.
COME UP HERE AND TELL US WHAT GOOD THINGS YOU'VE BEEN UP TO.
>> MR. CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSIONERS IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU. TO CONTINUE THE GOOD NEWS ACTUALLY THAT WE'VE HAD ALREADY IN THIS MEETING, I'D LIKE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE COUNTY STAFF ON OPENING UP RIDEOUT POINT FOR PUBLIC ACCESS.
PERHAPS SOME OF YOU HAVE BEEN AWARE OF.
THAT WE'VE HAD SOME MEETINGS ON THE SITE WITH SOME OF THE STAFF.
YOU CAN SEE FROM THE MAPS THAT ARE COMING UP, SOME OF OUR IDEAS AT THE MOMENT. WHAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO.
LET ME BACK UP A MOMENT TO TELL YOU ABOUT NORTH POINT LAND TRUST ORGANIZATION WHOSE MISSION IS TO PROTECT THE NATURAL RESOURCES, FARMS OF NORTH FLORIDA. WE HAVE BEEN BUYING LAND IN CLAY COUNTY FOR QUITE SOME TIME, PARTICULARLY LAND AROUND CAMP LANDING TO PROTECT THEIR TRAINING MISSION WHICH IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT FOR OUR NATIONAL SECURITY A LOU THEM TO TRAIN TO THEIR FENCE LINE AND HAVE BEEN BUYING OTHER APPROPRIATE ENVIRONMENTAL LAND IN THE AREA PARTICULARLY DOWN TOWARD KEYSTONE HEIGHT WHERE IS THE YOU CAN FOR AREA IS IMPORTANT TO US. WE'VE ACQUIRED OTHER PROPERTY FOR TORTOISES AND WILDLIFE. THIS IS THE FIRST PROPERTY.
BECAUSE IT IS VALUABLE TO US. NONETHELESS THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY LENDS ITSELF THE A PARK AND THOSE OF YOU WHO WORKED ON THE 20-40 COMP PLAN SHOULD BE MENNED BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE FORESIGHT FOR CONSERVATION AND ACCESS TO THE PARK.
WE'RE LOOKING TO WE ACQUIRED THIS PROPERTY THAT IS ABOUT 565 ACRES IF I RECALL. 578 ACRES WE AGUIDE JANUARY THROUGH A DONATION LARGELY. WE HAD TO PAY FOR A SMALL PART OF IT. WE CURRENTLY OWN THE PROPERTY AND WE MANAGE IT. WE ARE WORK ON OUR MANAGEMENT PLAN. THE WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT SOLD AN EASEMENT WHICH WAS A REQUIREMENT OF THE DONOR.
IT IS DIVIDED BY THE FIRST COAST EXPRESSWAY.
THERE ARE EXISTING TRAILS AND SCENIC BEAUTY AND ACCESS TO BLACK CREEK WHICH MAKES IT IDEAL FOR A PUBLIC PARK.
WE DON'T HAVE A BUDGET OR TIME LINE IN MIND AT THIS POINT IN TIME SO THIS IS AN EASY PRESENTATION.
PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE IN FRONT OF A LEGISLATIVE BODY WHERE I'VE NOT HAD AN ASK FOR MONEY. AT THIS POINT WHAT WE ENVISION IS THAT WE WOULD CONTINUE TO DO THE PROGRAMMING , THE INTERPRETIVE SIGNAGE AND PROGRAMS ON THE PROPERTY, EDUCATION, THOSE KIND OF THINGS AND LOOK TO THE COUNTY FOR INFRASTRUCTURE. WE'RE NOT THERE YET.
WE'RE TALKING. IT'S A SON SEPTEMBERLE IDEA.
WE WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE WE'RE HAVING SUCH DISCUSSIONS.
>> WHERE DOES YOUR ORGANIZATION'S FUNDING COME
WE WERE LARGELY PRIVATELY DONATED THROUGH PRIVATE DONATIONS. THAT'S STILL A SIGNIFICANT PART OF OUR DONATIONS. PROBABLY 2.5 LAST YEAR CAME IN FROM DONORS. WE RECEIVED A FAIR AMOUNT OF MONEY FROM THE PROGRAM READINESS ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAM INTEGRATION. IT'S A DOD PROGRAM THAT GIVES US
[00:20:01]
ABOUT $2 MILLION A YEAR. TWO YEARS AGO WE GOT ABOUT 15 THROUGH CAMP LANDING. RECENTLY WE RECEIVED A GRANT -- NOT A GRANT. WE WERE ACCEPTED AS A PROGRAM PARTICIPANT IN THE REGIONAL CONSERVATION PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.THAT IS TO HELP BUY EASEMENTS BETWEEN THE OCALA NATIONAL FOREST AND THEY'VE GIVEN US $9.4 MILLION FOR THAT PROJECT TO PAY FOR BOTH EASEMENTS AND A LITTLE BIT OF OUR STAFF TIME AS WELL AND SOME OF OUR STAFF EXPENSES.
IT'S BEGINNING TO SHIFT FROM PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS MORE TO FEDERAL. WE USED TO GET A FAIR AMOUNT OF FLORIDA FROM THE STATE. THAT MONEY HASN'T BEEN AS FORTH COMING IN RECENT YEARS ALTHOUGH BRADLEY DID A GREAT JOB AS DID REPRESENTATIVE COMINGS IN GETTING US $100 MILLION FOR THIS UP COMING FISCAL YEAR ASSUMING IT SURVIVES THE VETO PATH.
WE'RE WATCHING CLOSELY. SOME OF IT DOES COME FROM THE STATE. RIGHT NOW I TELL YOU IT'S ABOUT 50/50 BETWEEN PRIVATE DONATIONS -- IT'S MORE THAN THAT IF WE ADD THE 9.4 FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
MOST OF IT IS NOW COMING FROM THE FEDS.
>> I ASSUME FROM TIME TO TIME YOU HAVE LAND OWNERS THAT MAKE
THAT'S THE CASE IN THIS CASE. THIS WAS A LARGE DONATION.
IT WAS IN THREE PARCELS. HE DONATED TWO AND ASKED TO US BUY ONE. AND SO IT IS VERY COMMON FOR FOLKS TO DONATE NOT ONLY THEIR PROPERTY BUT DONATE EASEMENTS.
IT PRESENTS A TAX DEDUCTION. IT'S 15%.
IT'S USUALLY A 50% DEDUCTION WAY 15 YEAR CARRY FORWARD.
IT'S VERY ATTRACTIVE FARMERS AND RANCHERS WHO CAN PARTICIPATE IN THOSE CONSERVATION EASEMENTS BECAUSE THEY GET THE CASH.
IT LOW TERSE VALUE OF THEIR PROPERTY FOR WHICH THEY ARE COMPENSATE AND THEREFORE REDUCES THE BARRIER OF ENTRY FOR A YOUNG FARMER OR RANCHER TRYING TO GET INTO THE BUSINESS.
>> Y'ALL STILL HAVE YOUR EYES ON CLAY COUNTY LEADERS FY FOR
FUTURE ACQUISITIONS? >> WE DO.
I THOUGHT ABOUT MAKING THAT COMMENT EARLIER.
WE ARE VERY MUCH INVOLVED IN THE CLAY COUNTY CHAMBER.
WE ARE INVOLVED IN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL.
WE ARE A LAND OWNER IN THE COUNTY.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF AREAS THAT ARE KEY THE US PARTICULAR THINK AQUIFER RECHARGERS DOWN IN THE KEYSTONE AREA AND FURTHER SOUTH SO THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US. WE CONTINUE TO LOOK TO ACQUIRE PROPERTY AROUND CAMP LANDING FOR NATIONAL SECURITY PURPOSES AND WE'RE WORKING WITH A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT DEVELOPERS ACTUALLY NOW ABOUT BUYING SOME OF THEIR PROPERTY AS WELL.
WE'RE VERY MUCH INTERESTED IN CONTINUING OUR WORK WITH CLAY COUNTY AND IN CLAY COUNTY. IT'S AN IMPORTANT COUNTY FOR OUR
FUTURE. >> WE APPRECIATE YOUR GOOD WORK
LET US KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING WE CAN DO.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> THANK YOU SIR.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> THANK YOU.
>> WE HAVE A COVID 19 UPDATE. ADMINISTRATOR OF THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CLAY COUNTY.
>> JUST FIRST OF ALL I'D LIKE TO SAY YOU SPACED OUT AND HAVE DONE PHYSICAL DISTANCE AT THE BOARD. I APPRECIATE SEEING THAT AS A PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICER. I DID BRING DR. PRINCE ALONG WITH ME. HE IS YOUR HE'D EPIDEMIOLOGIST.
I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE.
WE'RE ON 103 AND WANTED TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON WHERE WE'RE AT. BEEN SENDING THE WEEKLY UPDATES TO YOU. THE FIRST THING IS WE HAVE A WEBSITE IN FLORIDA ARE. THIS INFORMATION WE'RE SHARING IS ON HERE AND UPDATED DAILY. THIS IS YOUR DASH BOARD WEBSITE ALONG WITH IT PROVIDES INFORMATION ON LONG TERM CARE DEATHS AND ACTUAL CASES, TESTING AND ALL OF THAT INFORMATION.
TODAY WE'RE GOING OVER A SPECIFIC PART WHICH IS 2/3 OF THE WAY DOWN ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE UNDER THE ACTUAL PICTURE OF THE STATE THERE IS A SECTION CALLED CASE REVIEW.
THAT IS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT YOUR COUNTY REPORT.
THAT IS UPDATED DAILY BY 10:00 IN THE MORNING SO YOU CAN LOOK THAT THE IF YOU NEED IT MORE FREQUENTLY YOU ARE WELCOME TO
[00:25:02]
CALL ME AND I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH THOSE.I GAVE YOU A COPY OF THAT. THE ONE I HANDED OUT TO WE WANTED TO LOOK AT THE TOTAL CASES.
WE WERE GETTING INTO THE TOTAL CASES AREN'T AS IMPERATIVE AS POSITIVITY RATE AND CASES TESTED.
THE MORE YOU TEST , THE MORE YOU ARE GOING TO FIND.
WE TRULY HAVE HAD THE CAPABILITY NOW THAT WHEN WE FIRST STARTED WE HAD LACK OF TESTING ABILITY INCLUDING THE LACK OF SWABS AND ALSO THE LAB CAPACITY ISSUES. YOU COULD COLLECT A TON OF SPECIMENS, 10,000 BUT THE YOUR LABS COULDN'T PROCESS THOSE AND THEY WERE BACKLOGGED, IT DIDN'T DO US ANY GOOD TO GET THOSE RESULTS. THOSE THINGS ARE IN LINE.
SWABBING ABILITY AND LAB CAPACITY ABILITY.
WE'RE ABLE TO GET RESULTS BACK THIS A FEW DAYS SO WE'RE ABLE TO IDENTIFY INDIVIDUALS POSITIVE, WE'RE ABLE TO EDUCATE THEM ON QUARANTINE FOR 14 CASE AND THEN DOING THAT VERY IMPORTANT WORK OF PUBLIC HEALTH CAN IS CONTACT TRACING.
THAT'S WHERE WE SAY WHO HAVE YOU BEEN IN CONTACT WITH AND THE CDC DEFINITION OF THAT PROLONGED EXPOSURE IS I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH SOMEBODY LESS THAN SIX FEET FOR AN EXPOSURE RATE OF MORE THAN 15 MINUTES. NOT TALKING ABOUT PASSING IN THE HALLWAY OR HAVING A ONE MINUTE CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE.
IT'S THAT PROLONGED EXPOSURE. THAT'S WHERE WE'RE DOING CONTACT INTERVIEWS WITH THE INDIVIDUAL THAT'S BEEN POSITIVE.
THAT IS TWO OR THREE TO UP TO 100 AND MORE HOW ACTIVE THAT PERSON HAS BEEN OUTSIDE OF THEIR OWN HOME.
LOOKING AT THE CASE IS ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THE PAGE.
EACH DAY IT FERNANDINA DEFINES THE CASES YOU'VE HAD REPORTED.
ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO TALK ABOUT THE MEDIAN AGE. WHEN WE STARTED THIS ON MAY 12 WHEN OUR FIRST CASE WAS REPORTED IN CLAY COUNTY.
THE MEDIAN AGE IN MARCH AND APRIL BECAUSE WE HAD LIMITED TESTING ABILITIES AND LAB CAPACITY ISSUES AND ONLY TESTING SYMPTOMATIC AND INDIVIDUALS OVER A CERTAIN AGE RANGE APPROACH FROM THE GOVERNOR OUR MEDIAN AGE HAS GONE DOWN.
LET ME TELL YOU WHY THAT IS GOOD NEWS FOR THIS.
THE DISEASE AND WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED THUS FAR IS IT IMPACTS INDIVIDUALS OF A YOUNGER AGE LESS HAVING A POOR OUTCOME.
MOST INDIVIDUALS THAT CONTRACT -T IT UNDER 50 DON'T HAVE UNDERLYING HEALTH CONDITIONS, THEY DON'T HAVE PREVIOUS MEDICAL CONDITION, IF THEY HAVE IT AND HAVE ANY SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS THEY PROBABLY DON'T EVEN NEED HOSPITALIZATION.
THEY PROBABLY WILL NEED TO SELF-QUARANTINE OR ISOLATE FOR 14 DAYS AND WE'LL DO CONTACT TRACING WITH THE OTHER INDIVIDUALS. UNFORTUNATELY IF IT HITS SOMEONE IN AN OLDER POPULATION, ESPECIALLY THOSE 85 AND OLDER, THAT IS WHERE MOST OF OUR DEATH VERSUS COME FROM THE FROM IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA THEY TEND TO HAVE A POOR OUTCOME.
THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS F. WE'RE GETTING CASES IT'S IN THE YOUNGER POPULATION WHO TEND TO BE FOR RESILIENT AND HEALTHIER AND HAVE A GOOD OUTCOME. YOU ARE GOING TO SEE THAT ON THERE. WHAT I'VE DONE IS WE LOOK AT THE MEDIAN AGE. I TRY TO DO A 7 DAY ROLLING AMPLE. WHAT YOU HAVE WITH NUMBERS MEANING HOW MANY TOTAL TEST YOU HAVE, YOU GET BLIPS ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT'S BETTER TO LOOK AT IT AND THREE DAYS MAY NOT BE ENOUGH FOR US.
ESPECIALLY IF YOU GET A LAB THAT HELD A FEW DAYS AND DUMP DATA.
I TRY TO DO A 7 DAY AVERAGE. IT GIVES US A FEEL OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR COMMUNITY. THINGS CHANGING OVER TIME OR NOT CHANGING OVER TIME. IF YOU GO DOWN IT WILL GIVE YOU THE DEMOGRAPHICS IN THAT AREA. NOT ONLY RACE AND ETHNICITY BUT TALK ABOUT THE HOSPITALIZATION AND THE DEATHS IN THOSE CATEGORIES. THAT IS HELP TO FEEL LOOK AT IF IT'S AFFECTING ONE OF THOSE GROUPS MORE THAN THE OTHER AND IF WE NEED TO DO TARGETED TESTING, INTERVENTIONS OR EDUCATION. ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE IS TRULY ABOUT THE OUTCOMES. HOSPITALIZATIONS ON THE BASED ON WHAT YOU HAVE ON THE BOARD IS 100, THAT'S 20% OF OUR CASES.
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE REASON THE COUNTRY SHUT DOWN IN MARCH WAS TRULY TO CONTROL THE SURGE OF OUR HOSPITAL SYSTEM.
THAT NEEDED CARE INPATIENT. VENTS ICU ROOMS. DID IT HELP WITH SPREAD A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE PEOPLE HAD STAY AT HOME ORDERS BUT THE TRUE MEASURE WAS TO NOT HAVE HOSPITAL SURGE.
AS WE'VE SEEN CASES GO UP, I LOOK AT WHAT DOES THE HOSPITAL DATA LOOK LIKE. ARE WE SEEING A SURGE ON OUR HOSPITAL SYSTEM. WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT LATER. THAT MEANS THEY WERE HOSPITAL ONE DAY OR 40 DAYS, IT MEANS AT ONE POINT DURING THE COVID
[00:30:01]
PROCESS THEY WERE HOSPITALIZED. DEATHS.WE HAD ANOTHER DEATH REPORTED YESTERDAY.
IT WAS IN AN OLDER INDIVIDUAL. IT DOES YOU A COMPARISON DATA OF THE STATEWIDE AND WHERE WE'RE AT AND TALKS ABOUT LONG TERM CARE FACILITIES. WE'VE BE UNFORTUNATE IN OUR COUNTY WE'VE HAD COVID GET INTO OUR NURSING HOMES AND ASSISTED LIVING. WHEN IT GETS IN THOSE SETTINGS IT SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE. THEY LIVE ANYWAY CONGREGATIONAL AREA, SLEEP, EAT DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS AND STAFF GOING IN AND OUT. WHILE OUR DATA HAS COME DOWN AND% ANNUAL OF CASES. AT ONE POINT IT WAS 50% OF OUR TOTAL CASES. WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO WORK WITH THE FACILITIES, PROVIDE THEM WITH NURSING STRIKE TEAMS DO, TESTING. WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO MOVE COVID PATIENTS OUT OF CERTAIN FACILITIES AND TO COVID ONLY FACILITIES. THERE IS ONE IN JACKSONVILLE WE'VE SENT THEM TO SO THOSE FACILITIES CAN WORK ON INFECTION CONTROL PRACTICES AND HOW WE REDUCE THAT SPREAD AS WE MOVE FORWARD. IT GIVES YOU STATEWIDE DATA FOR COMPARISONS THERE. IF WE MOVE DOWN TO THE MIDDLE SECTION OF THIS. WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT THE POSITIVITY RATES. IT'S IMPORTANT THE CAVEAT IS LOOKING AT TEST POSITIVE THAT HAVE BEEN THAT DAY.
THAT EXCLUDES PEOPLE THIS HAVE TESTED POSITIVE.
IF SOMEBODY IS HOSPITALIZE AND ED AND GOING BACK TO A LONG TERM CARE FACILITY WE WANT TWO NEGATIVES ON THEM BEFORE THEY GO BACK. YOU MAY GET THEM WHERE YOU ARE TRYING TO RETEST THEM. WE CALL IT GRADUATE SO THEY CAN GO BACK TO THEIR FACILITY. THOSE ARE NOT GOING TO SHOW IN THOSE NUMBERS. WE'RE NOT DUPLICATING THAT NUMBER. IT'S ONE CASE ONE PERSON.
THIS IS YOUR DAILY NUMBERS. THIS IS WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO GET THE BLIPS I TALKED ABOUT. IF WE TAKE 6 WHICH SHALL 20 FOR EXAMPLE WE ONLY HAD A TOTAL OF 174 TOTAL CASES REPORTED THAT DAY, 160 NEGATIVE. 14 POSITIVE.
IT WAS A LOW NUMBER. COMPARISON YOU TAKE THE NEXT DAY THERE WAS 250 CASES REPORTED AND ALMOST THE SAME NUMBER OF CASE AND THE POSITIVITY RATE GOES DOWN.
THE ROLLING SAVAGER A BETTER WAY TO LOOK AT THAT.
TO GIVE YOU IDEAS AND YOU'LL SEE THAT ON THE REPORT I SEND YOU, WE TALK ABOUT THE ROLLING AVERAGE FROM 6/9 TO 6/15 THE POSITIVITY RATE WAS 1.93%. THEN IT WAS 2.64% SO THAT'S GONE UP. WHAT IS HAPPENING? AND SO WHEN I LOOK AT THIS I WANT TO DO A STATE COMPARISON.
THE STATE DURING THAT SAME TIME FRAME WAS 4.38 TO 12% POSITIVITY. WE'RE STILL REMAINING BELOW THE STATE AVERAGE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT POSITIVITY RATE.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE LOOK AT THE DATA AND ASSESS IT APPROPRIATELY AND APPLY IT APPROPRIATELY.
IN THE LAST SECTION IT TALKS ABOUT THE EMERGENCY ROOM DEPARTMENT. THIS IS WHERE WE DO PUBLIC HEALTH SURVEILLANCE. WHEN PEOPLE COME IN AND HAVE A VISIT. WE LOOK AT THEIR CHIEF COMPLAINT AND LOOK AT THE SYMPTOMS PEOPLE ARE REPORTING TO SEE IF WE HAVE SURVEILLANCE GOING UP OR DOWN IN A CERTAIN AREA.
YOU SEE THE FLU LIKE ILLNESS WHICH IS SIMILAR TO COVID.
IT'S PRETTY MUCH REMAINED STABLE.
WE'RE GETTING A LITTLE BIT OF A LOWERING IN THERE.
AND THEN FOR THE COVID LIKE ILLNESS WHICH IS SIMILAR TO FLU BUT CAVEAT THAT FALL IN THERE LIKE LOSS OF TASTE AND SMELL, WE HAD A DOWNWARD TREND AND THEN UPWARD AND WE'VE FLATTENED OUT.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBER IT'S A SMALL NUMBER.
IT'S NOT IN THE HUNDREDS AND THAT'S A GOOD THING O. THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE IT'S TAKING THAT DATA AND PUTTING IT INTO THE BLIPS YOU ARE SEEING DAY-TO-DAY VERSUS ON A WEEK LONG COUNT.
THIS IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKIN AT. THE MORE YOU TEST THE MORE YOU ARE GOING TO FIND. THEY ARE GOING TO BE WASHINGTONING AROUND FEELING GREAT.
[00:35:02]
DO I NEED TO GO THERE. DO I HAVE TO GO.IS THERE AN ALTERNATIVE. WE HAVE QUARANTINE FATIGUE AT THIS POINT. PEOPLE ARE SOCIAL BEINGS AND WE WANT TO BE AROUND OTHER PEOPLE. WE WANT TO THINK ABOUT THAT AND WHO WE COULD BRING THAT HOME TO. IT'S IMPORTANT TOTH HAND WASHING. THE DISINFECTANTS.
HAND SANITIZERS ARE REALLY IMPORTANT.
TESTRYL THINK PHYSICAL DISTANCING THAT IS IMPORTANT IN COVID TRANSMISSION. IT'S A DROPLET TRANSMISSION.
IT'S NOT AIRBORNE. IT IS DROPLETS.
I TALK. IF I SING, ANY OF THOSE THINGS WRITE EXERT, EVEN EXHALING WE HAVE MOISTURE GOING OUT.
IT GOES AND DROPS DOWN. IT'S THAT DISTANCING THAT IS GOING TO BE SO IMPORTANT TO REDUCE TRANSMISSION.
WITH THAT. IT WAS A LOT OF INFORMATION.
I'VE BEEN PASSING THIS INFORMATION ALONG FOR THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS. HOSPITALIZATIONS.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT. I'VE BEEN TALKING TO THE THREE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR C.E.O.S. I TALK TO THEM EVERY WEEK.
WE ARE TALKING SMALL NUMBERS OF HOSPITALIZATIONS.
AS OF YESTERDAY WE HAD A TOTAL OF 12 INDIVIDUALS IN OUR HOSPITAL SYSTEMS THAT WERE COVID POSITIVE.
TWO IN ICU AND ONE WAS ON A VENTILATOR.
WE'RE DOING REALLY GOOD FOR OUR HOSPITAL DATA AND INPOINTER PATIENT WHERE OUR SYSTEM IS ABLE TO HANDLE EVER THAT.
WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE COMMUNICATION WITH THE HOSPITALS. IF THEY SEE ANYTHING UNUSUAL THEY REACH OUT TO ME. THAT'S THE MAIN THING WE WANT TO CONTROL IS THAT WE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO 100% CONTROL THE VIRUS.
BUT IF I CAN HELP HANDLE THE SURGE IN OUR HOSPITAL SYSTEMS AND WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THE PEOPLE THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF IN AN INPATIENT SET TANGED REST CAN SELF-QUARANTINE THAT IS SOMETHING WE'LL HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD W. I'LL BE GLAD TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. I KNOW VIRUS -- I BROUGHT THE
EXPERT ALONG. >> I HAD A QUESTION.
HOW IS IT THAT OUR LONG TERM CARE CASES ARE APPROXIMATELY THREE AND A HALF TIMES GREATER THAN THE STATE AVERAGE?
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION DID WAS A WHITE HOUSE INITIATIVE TO TEST LONG TERM CARE FACILITIES AND NURSING HOMES. WE DIDN'T ASK FOR THE GO IN AND TEST. WE WENT IN AND TESTED.
WE TESTED STAFF, CONTRACTUAL WORKERS, ALL THE INDIVIDUALS THAT COME IN AND HAVE INTERACTION WITH THE RESIDENTS -- [INAUDIBLE] UNFORTUNATELY FOR US IT HIT PROBABLY A SMALL HAND FULL, FOUR OR FIVE OF THEM REALLY HARD.
WE HAVE GONE BACK AND DONE RESWABBINGS AND WE'RE GOING AND CONTINUING TO SWAB THOSE FACILITIES EVERY TWO WEEKS ALONG WITH THE STAFF STARTING JULY 7 THROUGH AN EMERGENCY RULE THEY WILL HAVE TO HAVE SWABBINGS EVERY TWO WEEKS OF STAFF SO WE CAN IDENTIFY STAFF EARLY AND GET THEM OUT OF THAT FACILITY SO THEY ARE NOT TRANSMITTING TO OUR MOST VULNERABLE.
>> AND WE SEE A SLIGHT TICK UP NATIONWIDE ON CASES.
I THINK THE INFORMATION IS CORRECT , THE HOSPITALIZATION CASES ARE GOING DOWN. SO EVERYBODY THAT GETS IT
DOESN'T GO TO THE HOSPITAL. >> CORRECT.
THAT'S A GOOD THING THAT IS HAPPENING.
I TRY FIND GOOD IN ALL OF THIS. WE HAVE GOT TO WE HOPE THAT IT DOESN'T HIT THE MOST VULNERABLE. EVIDENCE TELLS US SO FAR IN FOUR MONTHS THOSE THAT ARE OVER A CERTAIN AGE TONED HAVE A HIGHER OUTCOME. THE NUMBER ONE RISK FACTOR UNDER 50 FOR POOR OUTCOME IS OBESITY. IF WE TALK ABOUT A PHASED REOPENING THE THINGS YOU HAVE DONE WITH KEEPING OPEN GREEN SPACES WITH STAY AT HOME ORDERS HAS BEEN IMPORTANT NOT ONLY FOR PEOPLE'S MENTAL HEALTH AND TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO GET PHYSICALLY FIT. WE NEED TO CONTINUE WORKING ON
THOSE MESSAGES. >> YOUR BEST INFORMATION AT LEAST WHAT I'M HEARING IS WE HOPEFULLY ARE LOOKING AT A VACCINE BY FIRST QUARTER OF NEXT YEAR.
IS THAT WHORE HEARING? >> THERE IS QUITE A FEW IN THE CHAIN NOW. THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE ALREADY INTO THEIR TRIAL PERIOD. THE RANDOMIZED CONTROL STUDIES AND TRIALS. WE'RE GOING TO BE HOPEFUL.
THE THING WITH VACCINATIONS AND IMMUNIZATIONS IS WHAT COMES OUT MAY NOT BE 100% EFFECTIVE LIKE WE SWEE THE FLU.
WE'LL GET IT. THE VACCINATION AND OF THOSE HOW MANY GET IMMUNITY FROM THAT. VACCINATIONS ARE TWEAKED OVER
[00:40:02]
TIME BASED ON THE NUMBER OF STUDIES THEY DO.I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF ONE. CHICKENPOX WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT IT WAS A ONE DOSE. THEN WE FOUND OUT IT WAS ONLY 70% EFFECTIVE AND WE HAD BREAK THROUGH CASES OF CHICKENPOX.
THEY FOUND OUT THEY NEED A BOOSTER LATER.
WHAT YOU FIND WITH VACCINATIONS IS IT MAY NOT BE 100% CORRECT AND EFFECTIVE WHEN IT FIRST COMES OUT.
IF IT CAN DO ANY IMMUNITY. I HOPE IT WORKS IN THE MOST VULNERABLE INDIVIDUALS THAT WE CAN HELP PROTECT THEM.
>> FIRST QUARTER NEXT YEAR MAYBE?
>> I'M NOT GOING TO GUARANTEE A TIME FRAME.
I'M HOPEFUL. I'VE DISCUSSED WITH THAT MANY OF YOU. I'M HOPEFUL.
WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH WHAT WE HAVE TODAY AND NOT WHAT COULD BE
IN THE FUTURE. >> ASSUMING A VACCINE DOES COME OUT, IS THERE A PLAN IN PLACE TO KNOCK LATE AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE. SEEMS LIKE THE ONLY THING WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO IS INOCULAE EVERYBODY AND THEN WE GET BACK TO NORMAL. DO WE HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE? IS THIS GOING TO BE A PUBLIC SPONSORED GOVERNMENT SPONSORED INOCULATION PROGRAM? EVERYBODY GOING TO BE RESPONSE TO BELIEVE GO TO THEIR DOCTOR TO GET IT?
HAS ANYBODY THOUGHT THIS OUT? >> WE HAVE PLANS FOR THOSE.
PART OF IT COULD BE A MIXTURE OF THOSE THINGS YOU TALKED ABOUT.
STATE GOVERNMENT FUNDED. I THINK WE WOULD BE REMISS TO NOT BRING ALL OF THE PARTNERS IN, ALL PRIVATE PHYSICIANS, HOSPITAL SYSTEMS, COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS TO ZO PEOPLE HAVE A MULTITUDE OF ACCESS POINTS ALONG WITH US GOING TO THEM AND THEM COMING TO US AS THE COMMUNITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT, I THINK WE WOULD BE REMISS TO DO THAT.
WE HAVE A VACCINE AND WE NEED TO DO 220,000 VACCINATIONS OF THOSE THAT WANT IT, AND I'M A HUGE PROPONENT OF VACCINATIONS HOW DO WE DO THAT IN A TIMELY MANNER, I THINK YOU HAVE TO BRING ALL
THOSE PARTNERS ONLINE. >> WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO START
DINE IS? >> AS SOON AS THERE IS A
VACCINE. >> WHY DON'T WE DO IT INTERIOR
WE'RE READY. >> WE'LL BE READY TO WALK AND ROLL. IMMUNIZATION ONE OF OUR CORE SERVICES. IMMUNIZATIONS FOR OTHER DISEASES
HAVE GONE DOWN. >> IF YOU COULD I KNOW YOU GUYS DIE LOT OF CONTACT TRACING. I GUESS THE QUESTION IS AND I KNOW YOU CAN'T PINPOINT OR PUT A TARGET ON CERTAIN PEOPLE S THERE ANY COMMON DENOMINATORS WHEN YOU LOOK AT CONTACT TRACING A CERTAIN NUMBER OF PEOPLE ARE GETTING IT.
WHERE MAY THEY HAVE CONTRACTED THE DISEASE.
>> DR. PRINCE WOULD BE ABLE TO ANSWER THAT.
WE ARE NOT SEEING ANYTHING THAT IS SAYING IT'S IN THIS ZIP CODE, THESE INDIVIDUALS, PEOPLE THAT WEAR THESE SHOES.
WE'RE NOT SEEING ANY COMMONALITIES.
WE SEE HOUSEHOLD CLUSTERS BECAUSE THEY LIVE IN THE SAME
HOUSE. >> MOSTLY WHAT WE'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW IS FROM THIS. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW. IT'S STILL EARLY.
LOCKDOWN FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND JUST STARTED REOPENING UP A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. WHAT WE'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW, IF YOU LOOK AT EXPOSURE AND LOOK AT THE TIME IT TAKES FOR SHOW SIGN AND SYMPTOMS. OBVIOUSLY RIGHT NOW THERE IS NO SPECIFIC. BUT WE SEE MUCH MORE FAMILIES.
[00:45:14]
>> WE DO HAVE FACILITIES THAT HAVE RAPID CAPABILITIES.
I DON'T WANT TO PROMOTE ONE OVER THE OTHER.
YOU CAN GET RAPID. IT'S TYPICALLY 45 MINUTE TEST RESULTS. WE DON'T HAVE ANY FREE ONES.
THAT IS SOME PRIVATE ENTITIES THAT HAVE THAT RAPID CAPABILITIES. OUR LABS DON'T TURN AROUND THIS QUICK. IT WOULD BE REALLY CLOSE THE TIME FRAME. I WOULD HATE TO PROMISE SOMEBODY AND THEY DON'T HAVE IT AND HAVE AIRLINE TICKETS.
>> WHAT ABOUT FOLKS COMING INTO THE STATE MANY.
>> I DON'T HAVE VISIBILITY ON THAT.
I KNOW THEY HAVE INTERSTATE AND AT THE AIRPORT CHECK POINTS.
IT'S A SELF-MONITORING SITUATION.
I DON'T THINK THEY ARE TURNING INDIVIDUAL AWAY.
THEY HAVE CHECK POINTS ON 95 AND AT THE AIRPORTS LOOKING AT THE HIGH TRANSMISSION AREAS BUT NOW IT'S EVERYWHERE.
THE HIGH TRANSMISSION AREA IS NO MATTER WHERE YOU TRAVEL FROM.
NOW THEY ARE MAKING SURE INDIVIDUALS ARE SELF-ISOLATING WHEN THEY COME INTO THE STATE. WE GET THAT QUESTION EVERY ONCE
IN A WHILE STILL. >> I HAVE THREITE THOMAS BRING
>> WE NORMALLY DON'T DO THIS. BUT DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS TOPIC AND THE IMPORTANCE I'LL ASK IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD HAVE A QUICK QUESTION TO OUR DOCTORS THAT COME TO US TODAY. WE PROBABLY HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING UP HERE. ANYONE OUT THERE THAT HAS A
QUESTION? >> JUST TO ADDRESS A COUPLE OF THINGS. FIRST OF ALL DAY OVER DAY AND EACH COMMISSIONER GETS A REPORT DAILY FROM ME AND THE INFORMATION. I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE INFORMATION HEALTH AROUND THE TEAM WORK WE HAVE GOING THROUGH.
IF I LOOK AT DAY OVER DAY THE NUMBER OF POSITIVES WENT DOWN EIGHT, UP ONE IN DEATHS AND UP THREE IN HOSPITALIZATIONS.
AND A LOT OF TIMES I THINK PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT WENT DOWN 8. IF YOU COULD ADDRESS THAT.
THAT'S MY FIRST THING. >> DOING THE CASE REVIEWS AND CONTACT TRACING, WE COLLECT THAT DATA.
OVER THE WEEKEND THE SATURDAY DATA ENDED UP COMING OUT TO 14.
IT WAS ORIGINALLY 25. WE HAD TO CLEAN UP DATA.
THOSE CASES DON'T GO AWAY. THEY GO TO ANOTHER COUNTY.
TYPICALLY DON'T DO THAT. YOU CAN ALSO HAVE THAT IN DEATHS. MAYBE IT GOT REPORTED AS CLAY AND WE FOUND OUT THE INDIVIDUAL WAS LIVING IN CLAY AND THEN WENT TO A LONG TERM CARE FACILITY IN DUVAL AND THAT WAS THEIR RESIDENCE. DOE DATA CLEANUP THAT WAY.
TYPICALLY YOU DON'T GET DATA LIKE THIS.
YOU USUALLY GET AN END OF THE YEAR MORTALITY REPORT.
IT'S USUALLY SIX, NINE MONTHS DELAY FROM A TIME PERIOD BECAUSE THEN THEY CAN CLEAN UP DATA. YOU GET RAW DATA AS IT HAPPENS SO THEY CAN GIVE THAT YOU INFORMATION.
THERE HAS TO BE CLEANUP ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
>> THE SECOND ONE IS THE VACCINE.
I THINK EVERYONE IS REALLY FOCUSED AND HYPER FOCUSED ON THAT. THE FACT THAT THERE IS TESTS.
THEY NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE VACCINE IS SAFEMENT AND TALK ABOUT PERCENTAGES OF EFFECTIVENESS AND THEN I THINK WHAT THE COMMISSIONERS WOULD LIKE TO HEAR AND THE COMMUNITY WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THE DISTRIBUTION NETWORK OF THAT VACCINE. WE HAVE A NORMAL LOGISTICAL CHAIN THROUGH CVS, OUR DOCTORS FOR THE NORMAL FLU VACCINE WHICH IS ALSO COMING UP SEPTEMBER OCTOBER TO GET THAT VACCINE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. CAN YOU TALK MORE ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I THINK THE COMMUNITY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THAT?
>> YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD THAT THERE ARE SOME VACCINES GOING ON. WHAT HAS HAPPENED RIGHT NOW IS THERE IS A TRIAL. THE FIRST STAGE IS WHAT IS GOING ON. THEY HAVE TO DO THE CLINICAL TRIALS IN PEOPLE AND SEE HOW THE VACCINE WORKS.
AND FROM THERE EVALUATE THE DATA AND GO ON TO SECOND TRIAL.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IF EVERYTHING GOES RIGHT AND MOST
[00:50:01]
WHAT WE'RE SEEING MANY COUNTRIES WE TALK ABOUT EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AND AMERICAN COUNTRIES, ASIAN COUNTRIES, ALL OF THESE COUNTRIES PUTTING EFFORT IN TRYING TO FIND SOLUTIONS TO THIS. THE RATE AT WHICH WE ARE MOVING IS VERY FAST. NORMALLY TAKES A LONG TIME BECAUSE NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL. I DON'T WANT -- I JUST WANT TO EXPLAIN WHAT VACCINE IS AT. IT'S JUST LIKE A GAME PLAYING.WANT TO MAKE SURE YOUR BODY RESPONDS WELL IT.
DIFFERENT RESPONSES TO INTRODUCTION OF VIRUS IF OUR BODY. IT WILL TAKE A WHILE.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IF EVERYTHING GOES WELL BY THE END OF THE YEAR MAYBE FIRST QUARTER OF NEXT YEAR WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET A VACCINE. HOW DO WE GO ABOUT DISTRIBUTE
IT. >> WOULD THEY PRIORITY ADVERTISE IT BY THE MOST VULNERABLE FIRST OR PUT KIDS FIRST?
IS THERE ANY IDEA THAN? >> THAT IS GOING TO BE RELATED TO THE INTRODUCTION OF IT. USUALLY THEY HOLD PATENTS ON THINGS LIKE THAT. IT DEPEND TONS PHARMACEUTICAL AND WHAT THEIR MANUFACTURING CAPABLES WOULD BE.
MAYBE WE DID IT IN A PHASELED APPROACH THAT SAID THIS IS THE POPULATION WE'LL TARGET IN PHASE ONE, PHASE TWO THESE INDIVIDUAL AND PHASE THREE THESE INDIVIDUALS.
THE OTHER THING THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT IS THERAPY.
AS WE LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS VIRUS AND HOW IT AFFECTS OUR BODIES, WE CAN THEN HOPEFULLY HAVE THERAPIES THAT CAN HELP READIES THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OR REDUCE THE HOSPITALIZATIONS WE HAVE. IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE FLU, THAT'S THE EASIEST ONE IF YOU CATCH IT EARLY ENOUGH, YOU HAVE A MUCH SHORTENED DURATION OF BEING SICK.
YOU RECOVER MUCH FASTER. THAT'S THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS IS THAT YES WE HOPE TO GET THIS IMMUNITY.
CAN WE GET THERAPIES TO HELP REDUCE THE IMPACT ON THE INDIVIDUAL. THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WILL R ALSO IN. IF YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT, HOW DO WE MAKE IT LESS IMPACT ON OUR COMMUNITY.
>> THE LAST THING I HAD WAS STOPPING THE SPREAD OF IT.
WE DID FANTASTIC FOR TWO MONTHS. NOW THAT WE'RE IN PHASE TWO, WHAT CAN THE COMMUNITY DO TO HELP STOP THE SPREAD? AND I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO STRESS HERE.
>> AS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SAID FACE COVERINGS.
>> I WEAR MY FACE COVERING BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO EXPOSE YOU. IT'S A SIGN OF RESPECT.
IT'S SOMETHING WE CAN LEARN FROM THEM.
IT'S TWOFOLD. IF I WEAR MY MASK I DON'T SPREAD IT TO. IF YOU WEAR YOUR MASK YOU DON'T SPREAD IT TO ME. IT CREATES A LOW RISK VERSUS A HIGH RISK. THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO PROTECT OUR MOST VULNERABLE.
THOSE INDIVIDUALS 65 AND OLDER AND THOSE WITH HEALTH CONDITIONS THAT WOULD MAKE THEM VERY VULNERABLE IF THEY HAD -- THEY GOT TRANSMITTED COVID. FACE COVERINGS THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GO GATORS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT I CAN ANSWER.
I'LL STAY FOR A WHILE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS, ALWAYS REACH OUT TO ME I DON'T MIND.
IT MOVING FAST. >> THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THAT UPDATE. IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO HEAR FROM
THE PROFESSIONALS. >> MOVING ON WE'LL ADDRESS THE
[APPROVAL OF MINUTES]
APPROVAL OF THE JUNE 9 MEETING. >> MOVE APPROVAL.
[00:55:01]
[PUBLIC COMMENTS]
>> PUBLIC CONSENT. I HAVE NO CARDS.
DO WE HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS? WE HAVE SOMEONE ON THE PHONE. LET'S GO TO THEM.
>> HELLO. I WANTED TO ASK YOU A QUESTION OF HEATHER BUT WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT THROUGH PHONE I GUESS. WE SHOULD BE CALLING IN AND THAT IS SAFER FOR EVERYBODY. NEED TO KEEP THE CALL IN PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR HANDICAPPED AN ELDERLY AND EVERYTHING OUT THERE WORKING AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. THE MINUTES ARE NOT VERY GOOD.
THEY ARE NOT COMPLETE. THEY ARE GOING THROUGH THE VIDEOS THAT HAVE BEEN CUTOFF AND REPAIRING THEM.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT LACROSSE. IT'S HORRIBLE AWE PROVED THAT.
WILL IS SO MUCH LIABILITY IN THAT.
NEED TO BE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY AND NOT ON TAXPAYER PROPERTY.
IT CREATES BAD BEHAVIOR AND INJURIES.
I'D LIKE THE FIND OUT WHAT THE DEAL WITH THE PARKING LOT LAWSUIT I TOLD YOU GUYS ABOUT FOR FIVE OR SIX YEARS OR BETTER.
THE MINUTES ARE VERY VAGUE. IF YOU CAN GO BACK AND FIX ALL OF THAT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. THE FINANCE MEETING WHERE THEY CUT OFF. NEED TO BE TRANSPARENT.
THE SUNSET LAW STILL EXISTS. WE JUST NEED TO GET BACK TO THE SIDEWALKS AND DON'T NEED TO EXERT OURSELF IN LACROSSE.
I APPRECIATE IT. [INDISCERNIBLE]
. >> ANYONE ELSE? NO OTHER COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE.
WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENTS AND MOVE ON TO CONSENT AGENDA
[CONSENT AGENDA]
ITEMS TWO AND THREE AS PUBLISHED ON THE AGENDA.>> MOTION AND SECOND. FALL FAVOR?
[4. Presentation of Initial Assessment Resolution for the Clay County Subdivision Roads Maintenance MSBU in order to (1) set the rate charged per subdivision parcel; (2) set the maximum annual assessment per subdivision parcel; and (3) to provide directions for preparation of the assessment roll and notice prior to the final assessment hearing on August 25, 2020 (D.Smith, F. Moss)]
>> MOVING ON TO OLD BUSINESS. PRESENTATION OF INITIAL ASSESSMENT RESOLUTION FOR THE CLAY COUNTY SUBDIVISION ROAD MAINTENANCE MSBU. TELL US WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
>> THE BOARD WILL RECALL BACK IN DECEMBER WE LAUNCHED THE SUBDIVISION , THE NEW SUBDIVISION ROADS MAINTENANCE MSBU. THE MSBU WAS ENVISIONED TO HAVE A RESURFACING COMPONENT AS WELL AS ANNUAL MAINTENANCE COMPONENT.
WE'VE BEEN WORKENING TO SEVERAL SUBDIVISIONS THAT WILL BE MADE SUBJECT TO THE MSBU THIS YEAR. AND WE'VE DEVELOPED COST FOR THE RESURFACE WHICH CAN IS SPREAD OUT OVER 20 YEARS AND THEN ESTIMATE OF ANNUAL MAINTENANCE. THE RESURFACING COST ARE BASED ON THE ACTUAL COST OF THE ROADS THAT WILL BE RESURFACED 20 YEARS IN THE FUTURE. THE AS BUILT.
AT THIS STAGE IN THE PROCESS THE BOARD IS BEING PRESENTED WITH INITIALING ASSESSMENT RESOLUTION.
THIS TELLS YOU WHAT THOSE COSTS ARE, WHAT THE PROPOSED
[01:00:04]
ASSESSMENT WILL BE AND ASKS FOR DIRECTION TO COMPLETE STEPS NECESSARY FOR NOTICE IN THE PAPER AND NOTICE DIRECTLY TO THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY INVOLVED FOR PUBLIC HEARING THAT WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE END OF AUGUST. AND ASSUMING THAT THE BOARD GOES FORWARD WITH THE FINAL PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVES THE MSBU, THEN THESE COST FOR EACH SUBDIVISION WILL APPEAR ON THE NOVEMBER TAX RULES AND WILL BE OFF AND RUNNING WITH THIS MAINTENANCE MSBU. ALONG WITH THE INITIAL ASSESSMENT RESOLUTION IN YOUR PACKETS WAS AI SUMMARY OF THE SUBDIVISIONS THAT ARE AFFECTED. AND THE NUMBERS ARE PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD IN TERMS OF THE ESTIMATES THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING GAVE US. AND SO IF YOU WERE TO APPROVE THE INITIAL ASSESSMENT RESOLUTION WE WOULD ASK THAT AWE PROVE THOSE COMPONENT NUMBERS FOR EACH SUBDIVISION.THERE IS ONE AREA WHERE THE BOARD'S DISCRETION IS NEEDED.
THE COUNTY CAN'T GO YEAR TO YEAR WITHOUT REDOING THE WHOLE ASSESSMENT AND RESTARTING FROM SCRATCH.
IN OUR OTHER ASSESSMENT PROGRAMS IT'S MUCH HIGHER THAN WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY CHARGING FOR A FEW OF THEM.
WHAT STAFF DID FOR THIS ONE IN THE SUMMARY SHEET, THERE IS A RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM ANNUAL SAYSMENT.
AND THE NUMBER THERE IS 50% HIGHER THAN THE ASSESSMENT.
THAT NUMBER IS A NUMBER THAT IS COMPLETELY WITHIN THE CONTROL OF THE BOARD. IF YOU DO NOT WANT THE ASSESSMENT EVER TO GO UP, THEN YOU WOULD KEEP THE MAXIMUM AT THE ASSESSMENT PER PARCEL WE SET FOR THE YEAR.
OR IF YOU WANT TO GIVE FUTURE BOARDS THE LEEWAY NOT TO HAVE TO REINVENT THE WHEEL EVERY YEAR BECAUSE IT'S TIME CONSUMING, THEN YOU WOULD BUILD ANYWAY LITTLE BIT OF ROOM FOR INFLATION. ASIDE FROM THE TIME SPENT THE POSTAGE TO GET THIS ONE OFF THE GROUND IS ABOUT $550 THIS YEAR.
EVERY YEAR YOU'D HAVE TO INCUR THAT POSTAGE.
NEXT YEAR YOU WILL TOO AS NEW SUBDIVISIONS ARE ADDED TO THE OLD ONES. WITH THAT WE HAVEDALE HERE WHO HAS ALL THE INFORMATION ON THE ESTIMATES AND WE'LL BE HAPPY TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> THIS IS NO SURPRISE.
ANYBODY WHO HAS BOUGHT A HOME IN THESE NEW DEVELOPMENTS HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THIS THING IS GOING TO HAPPEN RIGHT?
>> AT THE RIGHT STAGE. >> DOES IT NECESSARILY MEAN THE
BUYERS WERE NOTIFIED? >> WHEN YOU ACCEPTED THE ROADS, THAT IS WHAT WHEN YOU MADE IT SUBJECT TO IT.
IT WOULD DEPEND ON IF THE DEVELOPER OR BUILDER NOTIFIED.
>> YOU ARE RIGHT. AT THE TIME THAT THE SUBDIVISION WAS INCLUDED IN THE MSBU YOU WOULD HAVE HAD ONE OWNER OF THE LOTS. TO THE EXTENT THERE WERE PURCHASERS IN THE LAST YEAR THEY WILL GET A NOTICE TO BE ABLE TO COME AND ADDRESS THE BOARD ABOUT THIS PROGRAM.
AMOUNT PER PARCEL S THAT PART OF THE AD VALOREM TAX OR SEPARATE
IS LINE ITEM? >> SEPARATE FIGURE.
IT'S LIKE THE GARBAGE ASSESSMENT.
>> I DON'T THINK CONSTRUCTION COSTS ARE GOING TO BE GOING DOWN ANYTIME SOON. THAT MAY ANSWER WHETHER WHETHER WE WANT TO ADDRESS THIS NOW OR KICK IT DOWN THE ROAD TO FUTURE
COMMISSIONS TO READDRESS. >> I HAVE A QUESTION.
THE MECHANISM IF WE SET IT AT THE NOT TO EXCEED MAXIMUM ANNUAL AMOUNT, BUT WE ASSESS THE ASSESSMENT, THAT'S A POSSIBILITY
YOU ARE SAYING? >> ARE YOU SAYING THAT THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT WOULD BE THE SAME AS THE ASSESSMENT PER PARCEL?
>> NO. I'M SAYING WE GO WITH THE ASSESSED PER PARCEL PER YEAR. BUT IN THE RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM WE SET THAT AS WELL SO IF WE NEEDED TO GO UP FOR FUTURE
BOARDS THEY COULD. >> YES, THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING
[01:05:01]
Y'ALL TO DO. >> MY QUESTION THEN IS WHAT IS THE MECHANISM FOR NOTIFICATION? IS IT JUST ON THE TRIM NOTICE OR DOES THE COMMISSION HAVE TO DO ANYTHINGS?
>> IF YOU SET IT -- IF YOU WERE TO SET A $300 MAXIMUM AND WE GO UP EACH YEAR, EVERY -- IT'S LIKE THE GRATED ROAD MSBU'S, WE BRING AN ANNUAL RATE RESOLUTION TO YOU.
THERE IS NO NOTICE GIVEN REGARDING THAT.
AND THE FIRST TIME THEY WILL SITE IS ON THEIR TAX BILL.
>> ON THE BILL OR TRIM NOTICE? >> THE BILL NOT THE TRIM NOTICE.
THE TRIM IS ONLY THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY.
>> THEY DON'T EXPECT ANY CHANGE IN THE GRATED ROADS ASSESSMENTS
THIS YEAR. >> ON THE OTHER HAND TOO, IF WE HAVE, ARE YOU RECOMMENDING WE HAVE AN INFLATIONARY INCREASE THAT IS ANNUAL OR SAYING KEEP THE DOOR OPEN IF WE SEE WE NEED MORE THEN WE CAN ADDRESS IT IF WE NEED IT.
>> WE HAVE TO PUT A NUMBER IN THERE OVER WHICH WE CAN'T GO.
SO THE QUESTION IS WHAT ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH BEFORE YOU REQUIRE THAT THE PROCESS BE REDONE, RENOTICED?
>> YOU ARE NOT SAYING THAT NEXT YEAR IT AUTOMATICALLY GOES UP
IT COULD GO DOWN. THE RESURFACING PORTION OF THE ASSESSMENT, WE'RE HOPING IT WILL NOT CHANGE.
IT WILL BE LEVEL FOR 20 YEARS BUT THE ANNUAL MAINTENANCE COULD GO DOWN IF WE COLLECT AND THERE IS NO MAINTENANCE MAYBE WE DROP IT A LITTLE BIT EACH YEAR. IT COULD GO DOWN ON IS THE
>> THE LAST PHOTOGRAPH SAYS RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM ANNUAL ASSESSMENT $170 PER PARCEL. SILVER OBSERVATION IS ABOVE THAT. WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE GUYS?
>> EACH OF THE SUBDIVISIONS HAS A PERSONALIZED COST STRUCTURE WITH REGARD TO WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO DO ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.
WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO RESURFACE. SILVER HAS 16 PARCELS SO THERE ARE LESS PEOPLE TO SPREAD THE COST AROUND.
WHEN IT SAYS RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM IT'S A DIFFERENT NUMBER FOR EACH SUBDIVISION. Y'ALL WOULD HAVE TO DECIDE WHAT WOULD BE A PROPER RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM FOR ALL THE SUBDIVISIONS AND IT WOULD NOT BE THE SAME FOR EACH ONE.
>> I THINK YOU WERE LOOKING AT THE ONE FOR SOMERSET.
I THINK THE 170 THAT YOU EVERYONE REFERENCED WAS FOR
SOMERSET NUMBER 7. >> THAT'S THE LAST ONE.
>> FOR SILVER OBSERVATION THE RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM IS THE 329.
SO THEY ARE ALL DIFFERENT BASED ON THEIR --
>> OK. >> THAT WILL BE PUT IN PLACE
THAT'S A NUMBER WITHIN YOUR DISCRETION.
>> AT THE END OF THE DAY WE CAN'T COLLECT BOO COOS OF MONEY AND LET IT ACCUMULATE. IT'S GOING TO BE MONITORED.
IF WE GET MORE THAN WE NEED IT COULD GO DOWN RIGHT?
>> IDEALLY THAT IS WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN FOR THE ANNUAL MAINTENANCE COMPONENT. ISRAELI TRYING TO BE GOOD ON ESTIMATING THE 20 YEARS WE WILL SAVE UP TO DO THE RESURFACING.
AND WE'RE GOING TO KEEP ANYTIME TWO SEPARATE SUBACCOUNTS.
IT WON'T JUST BE IN ONE. >> THIS SEEMS TO ME LIKE A WAY TO PROTECT THE COUNTY. I DON'T SEE HOW IT COULD DO HARM TO THE HOMEOWNER BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE MONEY ON THIS.
THE IDEA IS TO KEEP IT FLAT. >> IT'S A GOOD POINT.
ALL THE MONEY RAISED WILL GO BACK TO THAT SUBDIVISION IS THAT
CORRECT? AT SOME POINT IN TIME? >> YES.
>> IF IT DOESN'T, THEN WE SHOULD ELIMINATE THE PROGRAM.
IT WILL. IT CAN'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE.
LET'S PUT IT THAT WAY. >> IDEALLY WE WANT TO COME OUT RIGHT ON THE MONEY OR A LITTLE BIT FUND EACH SUBDIVISION.
WHAT HAPPENS IF WE ARE SNORE. >> THEN NEXT YEAR YOU LOWER IT.
>> AFTER WE DO THE CONSTRUCTION. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO KNOW YOU ARE OVER OR UNDER UNTIL YOU REBUILD ROAD IS THAT CORRECT?
>> IF YOU HAVE -- APPROXIMATE AFTER 20 YEARS IT'S TIME TO RESURFACE AND THERE IS MORE MONEY IN THE ACCOUNT THAN NECESSARY THAT WILL SUBSIDIZE NEXT 20 YEARS COLLECTION.
>> STAYS IN THAT ACCOUNT SO I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
[01:10:02]
THEN WE CAN ADJUST. >> RESERVE ACCOUNTS ARE DOING THE SAME THING. IT COULD BE ADJUSTED OR KEPT THE SAME. COULD THEY TAKE THAT MONEY IF THEY DO THE TWENTY YEARS AND MOVE IT INTO THE MAINTENANCE ACCOUNT OR DOES HAVE IT TO STAY IN THOSE ACCOUNTS.
>> THAT WILL REQUIRE A BUDGET TRANSFER SO THE BOARD WILL KNOW
IT'S HAPPENING. >> IT'S POSSIBLE.
>> IT'S POSSIBLY DO. >> AT A POINT IN TIME THEY HAVE EXTRA MONEY AND SAY WE NEED MAINTENANCE WE CAN MOVE THAT
OVER AND THEY CAN DO THAT. >> WE'RE NOT DOING UNDERDRAINS.
IF THERE IS AN APPROPRIATE MAINTENANCE NEED AND NOT ENOUGH IN THE MAINTENANCE THEN YOU CAN DRAW ON THE RESURFACING FUND AND
VICE VERSA. >> THEY HAVE FLEXIBILITY THERE TO HAVE OVERAGES IN EITHER ACCOUNT TO DO WHAT THEY NEED TO
AND THE GOVERNOR IS TO HAVE A BUDGET TRANSFER AT LEAST AT THIS STAGE. THE BOARD NEEDS TO APPROVE.
SO THAT'S A CHECK ON THAT. >> CAN WE ADOPT ALL OF THESE AT THE SAME TIME THE RECOMMENDATIONS OR DO WE HAVE TO
GO THROUGH EACH NEIGHBORHOOD. >> IF YOU ARE GOING TO ACCEPT 150 PERSONS MAXIMUM FOR EACH OF THE SUBDIVISION, IT'S ALREADY LAID OUT IN THE RESOLUTION AND YOU WOULD JUST SIMPLY ADOPT THE
>> I SECOND. >> MOTION TO APPROVE AND A SECOND. FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
>> DID YOU A GREAT JOB ON THIS ONE.
>> IT WAS A TEAM EFFORT OF RECHECKING AND GOING BACK OVER
>> GREATLY APPRECIATED. >> THANK YOU.
WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT MONTH. >> ALL RIGHT.
>> WE HAVE TWO TIME CERTAINS 5:00.
>> THANK YOU. TIME WAS ABOUT TO GET AWAY FROM
[16. 5:00 Time Certain or as soon thereafter as can be heard - Public Hearing to Consider Amendments to Land Development Code Article II, Pertaining to Subdivision Permitting and Certificates of Occupancy (PC Vote 6-1 to Approve)]
ME. TIME CERTAIN WHICH IS ITEM 16 AND 17. PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AMENDMENTS TO LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE ARTICLE 2.>> IF THEY NEED MONEY SEND IT. >> THEY JUST WANT TO YOU MOVE MONEY, GO AHEAD AND DO IT. HOW ARE YOU GUYS DOING THIS AFTERNOON? WANT TO BRING TO YOU A PROVISION TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AND THE REASON WE'RE DOING THAT IS TO REDUCE NUMBER OF HOMES UNDER CONSTRUCTION DURING -- [INAUDIBLE] BUILDING OFFICIAL AND ADHERE AS WELL ANDDALE HAS SOME PIECES TO THIS AS WELL.
GOUT TO WHOLE CREW OF US. WE'RE TRYING TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF HOMES DURING INSTALLATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT INFRASTRUCTURE. ESSENTIALLY WAY IT WORKS NOW WE DO A PRECON MEETING AFTER THEY TURN IN PLANS.
DURING THAT TIME THEY START THE INFRASTRUCTURE.
THAT CONSTRUCTION STARTS THEN. CURRENTLY THEY AT THAT SAME TIME CAN DO THREE MODEL HOMES CURRENTLY PER BUILDER ISSUE FOR CONSTRUCTION. AND BASICALLY DURING THE SAME TIME THEY CAN GET PLAT ACCEPTED BY THE BCC AND RECORDED.
WHAT HAPPENS THEN THE PURPLE BOX CURRENTLY WHAT HAPPENS THEN IS YOU SEE IN THE DARK PURPLE RESIDENTIAL LOT PERMITS START BEING ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION WHICH IS WHERE SOME OF OUR PROBLEM IS COMING IN. THEN YOU GO TO ACCEPTANCE WITH INFRASTRUCTURE. AND THEN THE CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. THIS IS JUST A HOUSE, ONE OF THE EXAMPLES OF OUR RULE BREAKSERS SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THAT.
YOU SEE TWO MODEL HOMES GOING UP.
YOU CAN SEE THERE IS NO INFRASTRUCTURE, NO ROADWAY, NO
ANYTHING AROUND IT. >> OUR PROPOSED PLAN LOOKS MOSTLY THE SAME EXCEPT IF YOU'LL LOOK IN THE MIDDLE SECTION WHERE YOU HAVE THE RED, LIME GREEN AND PINK OR LIGHT PURPLE.
ONCE THEY DO THE PRECON MEETING, THEY'LL STARTED THEIR
[01:15:04]
INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION. THEY CAN DO THREE MODEL HOMES PER BUILDER IF THERE IS MULTIPLE BUILDERS, THEY CAN DO A MAXIMUM OF 10 MODEL HOMES. IF THERE IS ONE DEVELOPER AND THREE OR FOUR BUILDERS THAT IS FOR THEM TO FIGHT OUT.IF THERE IS THREE BUILDERS WE COULD EACH DO THREE AND SOMEBODY ELSE GET ONE IF THEY WANT TO. AND THEN THE PLAT IS ACCEPTED BY THE BCC AND RECORDED. WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS TO SLOW DOWN THIS PART OF THE PROCESS SO THE DARK PURPLE WHERE IT SAYS RESIDENTIAL WATTS PERMITS ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION, WE WANT TO HOLD THAT OFF A LITTLE BIT AND YOU ARE GOING TO SEE THAT.
GO TO THE NEXT ONE. HERE IS WHAT WE WANT TO DO IN OUR CHANGES FOR RESIDENTIAL. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE THREE MODEL HOMES PER BUILDER THIS IS NUMBER ONE UNDER B TO A MAXIMUM OF 10:00. IS THAT IS PROBABLY SOME OF THE BIGGEST PIECES IS THAT A, B AND C RIGHT THERE.
THE PROBLEM WE'RE HAVING COUNTY WIDE DO YOU MIND GOING BACK TO ONE OF THE TO EITHER OF THESE BECAUSE THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME. THE PROBLEM WE'RE HAVING IS WHEN THEY TURN THEIR PLAT AND WHERE THEY START GETTING PERMITS TO CONSTRUCT THESE HOMES IS NOT THE MODEL HOMES.
IT'S ALL THE REGULAR HOMES IN THE SUBDIVISION.
AND SO THEN WHAT HAPPENS HONESTLY IS SOME FOLKS VERY EARLY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SUBDIVISION ARE COMING IN TO GET THEIR CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY WHEN A LOT OF THIS INFRASTRUCTURE IS NOT DONE SO IT TOO EARLY IN THE PHASE.
WHAT WE'RE WANTING TO DO AND THE REASON WE PROPOSED THESE CHANGES IS SO THAT EVERYTHING KIND OF GOES IN SYNC.
AS THEY ARE FINISHING UP THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S WHEN THE CO'S SHOULD START HAPPENING HONESTLY.
ALL OF THIS IS TRYING TO ALIGN THE STARS TO MAKE EVERYTHING WORK TOGETHER SO THE TIMING IS MORE ACCURATE.
ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS? >> I THINK IT WILL SOLVE SOME
PROBLEMS. >> IT WILL SOLVE SOME PROBLEMS.
>> THEY TYPICALLY PERMIT IT ONE PHASE AT A TIME.
>> YOU'VE CIRCULATED THIS? >> WE HAVE.
THEY HAD LAST MONTH AND AT THE LAST MINUTE BEFORE PLANNING COMMISSION WE HEARD PEEPS FROM DIFFERENT FOLKS SO WE PULLED IT OFF MAY AND TOOK IT TO JUNE. WE'VE TALKED TO JESSE AND SOME
[01:20:04]
OF THOSE GUYS. THEY HAD SOME QUESTIONS.BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY I DON'T THINK THEY HAD ANY HEART
BURN. >> WE'RE NOT MAKING THEM DO ANYTHING THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO DO.
THEY JUST HAVE TO DO IT SOONER. >> IT'S ABOUT TIMING.
THEY HAVE TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT GET AGO HEAD OF THEMSELVES.
>> I NOTICE THEY ARE NOT HERE TONIGHT.
>> YEAH. >> PLEASURE OF THE BOARD.
>> PUBLIC HEARING. PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN ON THIS PARTICULAR PROPOSAL. ANYONE WISHES TO SPEAK ON IT?
>> LET'S GO TO OUR PHONE IN. >> GO AHEAD MR. OTTO.
>> HELLO. >> MOBILE HOME IS A BIG PART OF CLAY COUNTY. THAT IS YOUR MAJOR INCOME BRACT THERE. STEWART SOUNDS SICK.
DID SHE GET TESTED OR DID SHE GET A FREE PASS.
LOSSES FROM THE STUART -- [INDISCERNIBLE] TRYING TO GO THROUGH MY NOTES REAL QUICK.
WE GOT A LOT OF LOSSES IS WHAT I WAS SAYING FROM THAT BOARD NOT COLLECTING IMPACT FEES. YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE IMPACT
FEES. >> LET ME INTERRUPT YOU -- YOU HAVE TO STAY ON POINT TO THE ITEM DISCUSSED.
>> 6700 IS WHAT YOU HAD STUDY FOR.
THAT WAS DONE BECAUSE WE HAVE A RULE AND HE KNOWS IT BETTER THAN ANYONE. YOU DISCUSS THE POINT THAT IS ON THE FLOOR. I HEARD ANYTHING N.G.O. HE SAID IN HIS MONOLOGUE THAT SPOKE TO THE ISSUE AT HAND.
THEREFORE HE WAS CUT OFF. IF YOU'D LIKE TO CALL BACK IN MR. OTTO AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME AND STAY ON TOPIC, WE WILL
ACCOMMODATE YOU WITHOUT A DOUBT. >> ANYONE ELSE ON THE TELEPHONE?
>> NO, SIR. >> ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE? THE PUBLIC COMMENT IS NOW CLOSED.

>> ITEM 17. >> FIRST PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER TRANSMITTAL CPA202001 TO AMEND BARN FIELD POLICY.
WHO HAS GOT THAT? >> GO AHEAD.
>> THIS IS AN AMENDMENT TO THE POLICY 1.4.10.
TO ADD SEVERAL PERMITTED USES TO APPLY WITHIN THE DOCTOR'S PLANNING DISTRICT. MR. FRANK MILLER IS THE APPLICANT. THIS IS A TRANSMITTAL HEARING SO YOU ARE NOT -- THIS IS NOT YOUR FINAL DECISION.
THIS IS THE DECISION TO TRANSMIT TO THE STATE AND IT WOULD COME BACK TO YOU AFTER THE STATE'S HAD H ITS REVIEW ON THIS ITEM.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEARD THIS ITEM ON THE SEVENTH AND THEY RECOMMENDED DENIAL. SHAPES TIME WE'VE WORKED A LITTLE BIT WITH THE APPLICANT AND THEY'VE REVISED THEIR APPLICATION. SO THE REVISED LANGUAGE IN YELLOW IS WHAT THE APPLICATION IS ABOUT AND THE STRIKE THROUGH
[01:25:02]
AND UNDERLINE WAS REVISED SINCE THE PLANNING COMMISSION.AT FIRST THEY ASKED FOR 200 SQUARE FOOT COFFEE SHOP OR DONUT SHOP WAY DRIVE THROUGH AND GROCERY STORE OF LESS THAN 55,000 SQUARE FEET. THAT'S BEEN AMENDED TO 52,000 SQUARE FEET WAY DRIVE THROUGH PHARMACY.
TO THE TYPICAL USES THAT WERE ALLOWED IN THAT RURAL NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER. TO AMEND THE SIZE RESTRICTION ON RETAIL PROTECT OURSELF SIX TO SEVEN ACRES.
WE'VE LOOKED AT IT AND WE'VE LOOKED AT OTHER SIMILAR KIND OF PROJECTS. THERE IS A SOMEWHAT SIMILAR ONE NEAR WRITE LIVE. BRANNEN FIELD HAS ONE RURAL CENTER. THIS IS A TEXT AMENDMENT.
BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE THE ONE RURAL NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER WE'VE FELT WE HAD TO IDENTIFY WHERE THAT IS.
IT IS AT THE CORNER OF OLD JENNINGS ROAD ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IT PART OF A 34-ACRE SITE.
ONLY THOSE 9.84 ACRES ARE ACTUALLY DEVELOPABLE.
YOU'VE SEEN LANGUAGE THIS WE'RE CHANGING.
AND N YELLOW IN THERE. AND THEN EVERYBODY WANTED TO KNOW WHERE THAT IS. SO THE SITE IS ON TINIES BOULEVARD. AS YOU CAN SEE THAT SURVEY IS THE ACTUAL SITE HOW IT IS. IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF FRONTAGE O GENERALLINGS ROAD. IT'S WITHIN THE URBAN SERVICE AREA. THEIR SOLID WASTE CAPACITY.
THERE IS NO IMPACT TO RECREATION.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT IS REQUIRED AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT. STAFF RECOMMENDED APPROVAL WHEN IT WENT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND WE CONTINUE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL. THE PROBLEM IT APPEARED TO BE WAS THEY FELT IT WAS TOO MUCH COMMERCIAL.
THE BRANNEN FIELDS GOT ACTIVITY CENTER.
IT HAS COMMUNITY CENTER. IT HAS A RURAL ACTIVITY CENTER WHICH IS OUT AT THE CORNER OF LONG BAY AND OLD JENNINGS ROAD WHICH ONLY AT THE PRESENT TIME HAS ONLY HAD A GAS STATION AND CONVENIENCE STORE. THEN WE ADDED THIS ONE IN 2013 AT THE CORNER OF TINIES. AND I THINK THEY FELT LIKE WE WERE ADDING TOO MUCH. BUT WHEN YOU LOOK ATTAINS, WE'VE GOT PINE RIDGE AND THEN TWO CREEKS AND THOSE ARE PRETTY BIG NEIGHBORHOODS AND WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PROJECTS THAT ARE POTENTIALLY GOING IN. THERE IS NO KIND OF GROCERY STORE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BIG ACTIVITY CENTER.
WITHEN THE ACTIVITY CENTER YOU HAVE WAL-MART WHICH HAS GROCERIES WHICH IS NOT A RUN IN KIND OF PLACE.
THEN ALDIS WHICH HAS GROCERIES BUT DIFFERENT THAN YOUR AVERAGE GROCERY STORE. WE DON'T HAVE A TYPICAL GROCERY STORE THERE. THIS SEEPED LIKE IT WOULD EVERYBODY IS THE PEOPLE ON THE CENTER.
>> THANK YOU. THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE GROCERY STORE WHICH WAS 55,000 AND NOW LE LOORED THE 52,000. THEY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT IT WAS A TEXT AMENDMENT AND THAT THE NEIGHBOR WOULDN'T HAVE TO BE NOTIFIED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT REZONING.
HOWEVER THEY WERE A LITTLE YOU WERE SET THEY DRAIN MAP.
THE FINAL THING I THINK WAS THAT I THINK THEY ARE GOING FOR TEN ACRES AS OPPOSED TO 7 ACRES. TRYING TO LOOK NOT LIKE A
[01:30:01]
CONVENIENCE STORE. I HAVE MET WITH THE FOLKS THAT LIVE AROUND THERE AND WE NEED A GROCERY STORE THERE.>> I THINK IT WILL HELP KEEP TRAFFIC OFF OF.
>> IT SHOULD. THAT'S WHAT THE TRAFFIC STUDY SUGGESTED PEOPLE WILL STAY IN THEIR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD TO GO SHOP WHICH CAN IS A GREAT CONCEPT AND IF IT'S THE FEEL OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. WE HAVE GOT FOX MEADOW DOWN THE ROAD WITH TEN ACRE HOMESITES. AND THEY GET SMALLER AND SMALLER AS YOU GO NEAR THE GROCERY STORE.
THERE IS NOT A LOT OF NEIGHBORS LIVING IMMEDIATELY AROUND THAT AREA RIGHT IN THERE. WE HAVE THE SCHOOL ON ONE SIDE AND I'VE TALKED TO THE THREE OR FOUR NEIGHBORS ON THE OTHER SIDE. THEY ARE LOOKING TO SELL OUT AND RETIRE AND DEVELOP SOMEHOW. I THINK THIS IS A GOOD FIT.
THE DEVELOPERS WERE VERY ACCOMMODATING IN DISCUSSIONS.
WE'VE COME UP FROM SIX ACRES TO 7 ACRES AND THEIR PITCH WAS THEY HAD TO HAVE MORE RETAIL IN HERE TO MAKE A FEW BUCKS.
THEY'VE COME DOWN ON THE SIZE OF THE GROCERY STORE SO THEY COULD PUT IN SOME OTHER TYPES OF RETAIL.
I'M IN FAVOR OF THIS AT THIS POINT.
>> I WOULD AGREE ON THIS. I'VE BEEN OUT THERE AND LOOKED AT THIS AREA AND AM FAMILIAR WITH IT.
I WOULD LIKEN IT TO DOWNTOWN LAKE AS BURY.
WE HAD A COW FIELD AT ONE TIME. NOW WE GOT A WIN DIXIE AND BUSINESS AND OFFICE COMPLEX AND SCHOOL AND TWO STORES.
THERE IS NO TRAFFIC PROBLEMS THERE.
MAYBE FOR 20 MINUTES DURING MORNINGS WHEN YOU ARE DROPPING KID OFF. OTHER THAN THAT IT'S VERY ACCESSIBLE. IT'S EASY FOR TRAFFIC AND TO THE GET IN AND OUT. IT ADDS ANOTHER DIMENSION TO THE COMMUNITY. THEY DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE TO MIDDLEBURG TO GET THEIR PRESCRIPTIONS FILLED OR GROCERY
ORDER OR GO GET A CUP OF COFFEE. >> I WOULDN'T WANT TO MINIMIZE THE TRAFFIC ISSUE. WE'RE AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE GOING HAVE TO DO SOMETHING WITH SOME OF THE ROAD IN THERE. THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE MOVING IN THERE. AT THE SAME TIME RIGHT NOW THEY NEED A GROCERY STORE WORSE THAN THEY NEED TWO MINUTES LESS
TRAVEL TIME. >> DOES APPLICANT WANT TO SPEAK?
>> THANK YOU. MY NAME IS FRANK MILLER AND MAY DRESS IS JACKSONVILLE. I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE OWNER AND DEVELOP HERB OF THE PROPERTY.
I THINK Y'ALL HAVE ADDRESSED THE ISSUES.

THIS WILL COME BACK BEFORE YOU FOR ADOPTION HOPEFULLY AFTER DEO RESPONDS. AND THIS DEVELOPER WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE COMMENTS FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
I THINK HAS DONE A GOOD JOB WORKING WITH STAFF AND I THINK WE'VE COME ONE SOMETHING THAT I THINK WILL WORK.
I WOULD POINT OUT THAT THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERS REPORT THAT WE HAD PREPARED INDICATED THAT ACTUALLY THE GROCERY STORE MIGHT REDUCE TRAFFIC IN THE MORNINGS ON TINIES AND IN THE AFTERNOON IT MIGHT INCREASE IT A BIT BUT THAT IS ONLY IF PEOPLE -- [INAUDIBLE] I GUESS IT'S POSSIBLE.
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
AND WE'D HOPE THAT YOU WILL END THIS ON FOR TRANSMITTAL.
>> I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU.
>> I MOVE APPROVAL. >> SECOND.
>> PUBLIC HEARING. >> LET'S GO TO PUBLIC HEARING.

>> DID HE DROP OFF OR CAN WE TELL?
>> STAR SIX TO UNMUTE. >> CAN YOU HEAR ME?
>> YES, WE CAN HEAR YOU NOW. >> I WANT TO MAKE SURE THESE
[01:35:06]
COMMENTS ARE IN THE MINUTES. THE MINUTES ARE VERY ROUGH AND THEY NEED TO BE LOOKED AT. THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE WANTING TO BUILD THESE BIG COMPLEXES AND PLAYGROUND, THEIR OWN POLICE FOR THEIR HOUSE ALARMS, THERE SHOULD BAY LOT OF STUFF GOING ON FOR THESE PEOPLE THAT WANT ALL THESE STIPULATIONS GOING ON THAT YOU ARE FORGETTING ABOUT. THE PLANNING CHANGES THINGS ALL THE TIME SO YOU GOT TO REMEMBER THAT IT STARTS SOMEWHERE AND JUST KEEPS GOING AND GOING. WE NEED A MORATORIUM ON THESE BUILDERS AROUND HERE UNTIL THE ROADS CATCH ONE EACH OTHER.YOU GOT A LARGE LOAD FOR $129 MILLION.
THAT SHOULD BE DIVIDED EQUALLY IN THE COUNTY PER THE DISTRICTS AND NOT BE ALL IN BASICALLY TWO DISTRICTS TO SUPPORT THESE KIND OF PROJECTS THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO RIGHT HERE.
THIS COMMUNITY IS WAY OVERBUILT. YOU DIDN'T COLLECT IMPACT FEES.
YOU GOT A STUDY. YOU DIDN'T COLLECT THE LOWEST IMPACT FEES. THEY ARE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT. IMAGINE YOURSELF IN CALIFORNIA OR NEW YORK OR SOMETHING. BUT THEY JUST KEEP PUTTING MORE AND MORE AND SOMEWHERE NOT RIGHT TO THE PEOPLE THAT CAME IN HERE TO BEGIN WITH AND PAID THEIR FULL IMPACT FEES TO THE SCHOOL AND TO THE COUNTY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A YEAR NOW, TWO YEARS. SO THE BUILDERS DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE -- THAT'S JUST CRAZY. THE HOME OWNER WANT TO BUILD A HOUSE FOR THEIR KIDS OR MOTHER. ARE YOU THERE ANYWHERE.
>> WE'RE STILL HERE. >> I DON'T KNOW DID YOU CUT OUT
>> GOT THE THANKSGIVING $200,000 UPGRADE ON YOUR SYSTEM FOR PICTURE IN PICTURE. HOPEFULLY IN 2020 WE GOT A GOOD
SYSTEM THERE FOR THE CITIZENS. >> MR. OTTO.
I'VE BEEN VERY TOLERANT AS THE BOARD HAS ON ENTERTAINING YOUR
MONOLOGUE SO FAR TODAY. >> I CAN'T REALLY HEAR YOU SIR.
I'LL GO BACK AND REWATCH THE VIDEO.
>> LET'S SEE TUCK HEAR THIS. I'M ASKING TO YOU STAY ON POINT OR WE'LL CUT YOU OFF AGAIN. DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID?
>> I HEARD THAT SIR. >> YOUR THREE MINUTES IS UP ANYWAY. THANK YOU.
>> I DON'T LIKE TO BE INSENSITIVE BUT AT SOME POINT THIS TIME YOU GOT TO MAKE A DECISION ON WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO LISTEN TO AND WHEN YOU ARE NOT.
I'M CHAMPION OF FREE SPEECH BUT THIS SOMETIMES GETS TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL. IF I OFFEND ANYBODY WITH MY DECISION SO BE IT. ANY OTHER PHONE CALL INS?
>> NO, SIR. >> ANY FURTHER COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE? WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC SECTION.
>> I'LL MOVE APPROVAL. >> AND A SECOND.
>> SO DONE. WE HAVE TAKEN CARE OF OUR TIME
>> MOVE BACK TO SECOND PAGE OF OUR AGENDA UNDER NEW BUSINESS.
[5. Approval of the CARES Act Funding Agreement with the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) - John Ward]
I THINK WE FINISHED NUMBER FOUR. WE'RE DOWN 5 APPROVAL OF CARES ACT FUNDING AGREEMENT WITH THE FLORIDA FROM DIVISION OFEMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. >> GOOD AFTERNOON.
TODAY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A MULTIPHASE ADD APPROACH TO.
THIS I'M GOING TO START BY EXPLAINING THE CONTRACT.
AND THE BUDGET RESOLUTION AND THEN NEXT ONE WILL BE TROY AND HIS TEAM EXPLAINING THE SPENDING PLAN THAT WE'VE GOT N. FRONT OF YOU YOU'VE GOT THE AGREEMENT FOR WHAT I'M GOING TO CALL THE CARES ACT WHICH IS THE LETTER YOU GUYS SENT LAST MEETING OR TWO MEETINGS AGO REQUESTING YOUR $14 MILLION ALLOCATED FROM THE STATE OF FLORIDA. WE HAVE SINCE COUNTY LEADERS FOUND OUT THE ACTUAL ALLOCATION IS $38 MILLION FOR CLAY COUNTY.
THE CONTRACT IN FRONT OF YOU IS ONLY FOR THE 25% DISPERSEMENT OF THIS. IT'S THE 9,564,446.
[01:40:05]
THEY ARE GOING TO ACTUALLY DISPERSE THAT.THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE AT THIS POINT AND PROBABLY GOING TO BE REIMBURSEMENT BASED BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A CONTRACT FOR THE REST OF THE 75%. THIS CONTRACT IN FRONT OF YOU IS FOR THE $9 MILLION WHICH IS 25% OF THE CARES ACT ALLOTED FOR CLAY COUNTY. THIS MONEY THAT IS ALLOTED FOR CLAY COUNTY LEADERS CITY RELATED JUST TO COVID-19 RELATED EXPENSES OR IMPROVING A RESPONSE IN THE FUTURE TO COVID RELATED EXPENSES TYPE THING. LIKE I SAY, TROY AND HIS TEAM ARE TO BE EXPLAINING THAT SPINNING PLAN.
WE GOT THIS INFORMATION A WEEK AGO FRIDAY.
AND OVER THE WEEKEND DEVELOPED A TEAM AND THEN TROY'S TEAM OVER THAT WEEKEND OVER THE PAST WEEK HAS DEVELOPED THAT SPENDING PLAN. WE HAVE TO GET THE CONTRACT AND SPENDING PLAN APPROVED BY THE STATE FOR APPROVAL SO WE CAN BEGIN THE EXPENDITURES OF THE FIRST 25%.
WE'RE GOING TO ASK AWE PROVE THE $9 MILLION CONTRACT SO WE CAN EXECUTE AND GET HA INITIAL $9 MILLION TRANSFERRED TO US AND THEN REST OF THE 75% OF THAT MONEY WILL BE REIMBURSEMENT BASED AT THIS POINT. THEN THE SECOND PART OF THAT WILL BE I'M GOING TO BRING UP THE BUDGET EXPERT THAT WILL
EXPLAIN THE BUDGET RESOLUTION. >> GOOD AFTERNOON.
YOU HAVE THE REVISED RESOLUTION GIVEN TO YOU BEFORE THE MEETING.
WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO IS TO SET UP THE FUND SPECIAL REVENUE FUND CARES ACT FOR THE 9 MILLION THAT ARE CURRENTLY APPROPRIATED TO US AND ESTABLISH THE ESTIMATED BUDGET BASED ON CURRENT PROPOSAL OF THE PROJECT WHICH CAN BE AMENDED AS THE DETAILS COMING THROUGH. IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THE CASH FLOW FOR THE SPECIAL REVENUE FUND SINCE THE 9 MILLION IS GOING TO PROBABLY TAKE ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO TO RECEIVE, WE ARE CURRENTLY ASKING FOR TEMPORARY TRANSFER FROM THE GENERAL FUND HALF A MILLION TO ESTABLISH THE INCOME FOR IMMEDIATE NEEDS WHICH WILL BE RETURNED BACK AS SOON AS THE 9 MILLION IS RECEIVED.
AND I HAVE A RESOLUTION AND I HAVE A TRANSFER FROM THE GENERAL
FUND AND MEMO THE APPROVE. >> DOES THAT MEAN THREE SEPARATE
>> APPROVAL OF THE AMEND, APPROVAL OF THE BUDGET RESOLUTION OR AGREEMENT, APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT, APPROVAL OF THE BUDGET RESOLUTION AND OF THE TRANSFER
FROM GENERAL FUND. >> THREE MOTIONS OR CAN THAT BE
HAND UNTILLED ONE? >> ONE MOTION THREITELES.
>> I HAVE A QUESTION PROBABLY NOT THE EXACT POINT IN TIME TO BRING IT UP. BUT WE'LL GET INTO THAT.
THE MONEYS THAT WE'RE RECEIVING FROM THE STATE, CAN WE IF IT'S COVID RELATED CAN WE REIMBURSE OURSELF FOR THE MONEY WE'VE ALREADY SPENT OR DOES IT HAVE TO BE ON A FUTURE SPENDING?
>> YOU CAN REIMBURSE YOURSELF FOR MONEYS ALREADY SPENT.
THE QUESTION THERE WOULD BE THE MONEYS YOU HAVE SPENT SUCH AS OVER TIME FOR ADDED FIRE RESCUE AND ADDED EMS IS ALSO A STAFFORD ACT REIMBURSABLE EXPENSE UNDER PEOPLE MASSACHUSETTS IF YOU ARE GOING TO GET 95% BACK FROM STAFFORD ACT WOULD YOU WANT TO USE THIS 9 MILLION OF NEW MONEY OR WOULD YOU WANT TO REIMBURSE
MOST OF OUR IRMA STUFF HAS COME BACK OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF DEBRIS PROJECTS AND TH KNIGHTS MARINA WHICH IS REIMBURSABLE.
>> SO GOING ON FURTHER AND AGAIN TROY IS GOING TO GET DETAILED IN THE SPENDING PLAN. OF THIS $9 MILLION THAT'S IN FRONT OF TO YOU THROUGH ENTIRE 38 MILLION, CAN ONLY BE COVID RELATED AND AS TROY STATED THE MAJORITY OF OUR EXPENSES ARE STAFFORD ACT WHICH WE'VE ALREADY GOT JUST A LITTLE OVER $900,000 THAT'S BEEN INCIDENT FOR REIMBURSEMENT.
EVERY PENNY OF THIS MONEY FOR THE CARES ACT HAS GOT TO BE SPENT AND PAID FOR BY 30 DECEMBER.
IT'S GOING TO BE A QUICK TURN AROUND.
THAT'S WHY WE DEVELOPED THE MANAGEMENT TEAM WITH TROY AND HIS TEAM HE PUT TOGETHER BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE INTERNATIONALLIRY CAT ON HOW THIS IS DONE.
THINKABLE CAN IMPACT THE FACE OF THE FUTURE OF CLAY COUNTY.
[01:45:01]
>> WHAT ARE THE STRINGS? THERE IS TOTAL BUDGET OF 38 MILLION. THEY'VE GIVEN US 9 MILLION ROUGHLY UP FRONT. WHAT ARE THE STRINGS ON THE 9 MILLION? IS THIS -- WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY
THIS BACK? >> THIS IS 9 MILLION THAT WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO US. I'VE BEEN ADVISED WITHIN 7 DAYS.
AS SOON AS WE GET THE EXECUTED CONTRACT TO THEM, THEY WILL GET IT TO US IN 7 DAYS AND THAT IS OURS TO BEGIN EXPENDITURES ON AS LONG AS IT'S COVID RELATED EXPENSES.
AS LONG AS IT'S EXPENDED THEN WE SEND IN FOR REIMBURSEMENT AND WE GET THAT MONEY BACK. YOU MADE THE COMMENT ON FEMA.
WE'VE SEEN EXPENDITURES IF FEMA HAVE TAKEN A COUPLE OF YEARS TO GET BACK. THE STATE HAS TO HAVE THIS CLOSED OUT BY THE END OF DECEMBER ALSO.
THEY ARE ENSURING US AS SOON AS WE GET THIS IN THEY ARE GOING TO
WORK ON GETTING THE MONEY BACK. >> WE GET THE 9 MILLION UP FRONT AND PUT IT IN THEBACK AND WE CAN DRAW THAT DOWN.
WE DON'T HAVE TO PUT UP OUR OWN MONEY FIRST ON THIS FIRST
9 MILLION RIGHT? >> THAT IS CORRECT.
>> WHAT CAN WE BUY WITH IT? >> AS LONG AS IT'S COVID RELATED. IS IT REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES THAT IS NON-STAFFORD ACT. SOMETHING THAT CAN PREVENT THE SPREAD. IS IT SOMETHING THAT BETTER RESPONSE IE COMPILING UP THE HEALTHS DEPARTMENT SIDE FOR FUTURE RESPONSE. BUILDING UP EMS, BUILDING UP STORAGE CAPACITY. DOING NO TOUCH FAUCETS AND THAT TYPE STUFF. TROY IS GOING TO EXPLAIN THAT IN THE PLAN. THIS IS ALL EITHER PREVENTION OR RESPONSE INTO A HEALTH RELATED EMERGENCY IN THE FUTURE.
>> IS THERE A LIST OF PREAPPROVED THINGS WE CAN BUY?
>> THEY DON'T HAVE A LIST OF PREAPPROVED THINGS.
THEY HAVE AREAS SUGGESTED IN AND WE HAVE UPON APPROVAL OF AWE PROVING TROY'S SPENDING PLAN THAT GO L GO TO THE STATE AND THEY WILL PUT EYES ON IT AND APPROVE IT AND WE WILL GO FORTH
WITH OUR EXPENDITURES. >> I'M PROBING THE POSSIBILITY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY THE MONEY BACK THE WE DON'T SPEND IT
CORRECTLY. >> JUST LIKE FEMA F YOU MISSPEND IT, WHEN THEY COME BACK AND DO THE AUDIT, THEY WILL BRING IT BACK AND YOU'LL HAVE TO RETURN THAT MONEY.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE WORKING INTRICATE WITH THE STATE AND CONSULTANT WORKING WITH THE STATE OF NEW YORK CARES ACT AT THIS POINT WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH THAT PROGRAM AND MAKING SURE EVERY DIME WE SPEND, SOMEONE ACCOUNT TO BELIEVE CITIZENS AND TWO ACCOUNT TO BELIEVE FEMA SO WE DON'T HAVE TO GIVE IT BACK AT
A LATER DATE. >> WE'RE GOING TO SPEND THIS MONEY AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO GET
APPROVED? >> WE'RE GOING TO GET IT
APPROVED. >> WE'RE GOING TO DO OUR BEST.
>> YES. OUR PLAN IS GOING TO BE APPROVED. THERE IS ALWAYS LIKE WITH FEMA THEY COULD COME BACK AND CHALLENGE.
>> THERE IS A RISK WE MAY HAVE TO PAY SOME OF THIS MONEY BACK
IF WE DON'T DO THIS PROPERLY. >> THAT'S CORRECT.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S LAID OUT HERE OR NOT BUT DO OUR MUNICIPALITIES ALSO SHARE IN
THIS? >> OUR MUNICIPALITIES, OUR CONSTITUTIONALS, TROY HAS A DETAILED PLAN HE'S GOING TO PRESENT TO YOU. IT'S REALLY ALL OUR PARTNERS IN THE RESPONSE TO A HEALTH RELATED PANDEMIC AND WITHIN CLAY COUNTY.
>> AND WE DO NOT NEED PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS IS THAT CORRECT? OK. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR JOHN AND ULGA? CONTRACT RESOLUTION AND TRANSFER OF MONEY. WAS THAT THE THREE ITEMS HERE?
DISCUSSION FROM THE BOARD? >> IS TROY'S PRESENTATION PART
OF THIS? >> TROY'S PRESENTATION IS THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA EXPLAINING THE ENTIRE BUDGET DETAIL. THIS IS JUST THE CONTRACT ACCEPTING THE MONEY AND TROY IS GOING TO PRESENT THE SPENDING
PLAN FOR DISCUSSION. >> WHAT WE'RE VOTING ON NOW IS
NOT WHAT TROY IS PRESENTING. >> HIS IS THE SPENDING PLAN FOR THE CONTRACT IN WHICH YOU ARE ACCEPTING NOW.
HE'LL GO INTO THE DETAILED SPENDING PLAN OF THE ENTIRE
$38 MILLION SIR. >> UNDERSTAND.
WE HAVE A MOTION ON THIS OR WHAT?
>> I'LL MOVE WE PASS THE CARES ACT FUNDING AGREEMENT , THE RESOLUTION FROM CLAY COUNTY AND DO THE BUDGET TRANSFER.
>> SECOND. >> FURTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE, ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED? SO DONE. THANK YOU.
[01:50:03]
>> MOVING ON THE ITEM 6. TROY, YOU ARE GOING TO DO ITEM
[6. CARES Act Discussion and Action Items (T. Nagle)]
LET ME SAY BEFORE YOU START. THIS IS PROBABLY AN ITEM WE COULD SPEND TWO OR THREE HOURS ON WHICH I DON'T WANT TO DO.
I WOULD ASK THE BOARD TO BE CONCISE, NOT REDOESN'TN'T AND ASK THE QUESTIONS WHICH ARE PERT INNOCENT.
WHICH I KNOW YOU WILL BECAUSE YOU ARE AINSTITUTE PEOPLE.
>> HERE IS THE CARES ACT SPENDING PLAN THAT THE TEAM DEVELOPED. AS JOHN SAID OUR ALOTMENT IS $38 MILLION. 25% UP FRONT YOU JUST APPROVED WAS 9.5 MILLION. 25% IS ON A REIMBURSEMENT BASIS.
THE CARES ACT REQUIRES THREE THINGS FOR AN EXPENSE TO BE COVERED. IT'S ANY NECESSARY EXPENDITURE INCURRED DUE PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO COVID-19. THEY'VE SAID ANY SECONDARY EFFECT SO THE LOSS OF BUSINESSES, THINGS LIKE THAT DO COME INTO ITEM NUMBER ONE. ITEMS THAT WERE NOT ACCOUNTED FO IN THE BUDGET. CAN'T BE A REPLACEMENT FOR ALREADY BUDGETED ELK PENCES. WE CAN'T PAY FOR THE FIREFIGHTERS AND EMT'S THIS NORMALLY WOULD HAVE BEEN WORKING WHERE HE FELT TO SPEND ALL THE MONEY BETWEEN MARCH 1 FOR ALLOWABLE EXPENSES AND THE LAST CHECK HAS TO BE CUT ON DECEMBER 306789 LAST CHECK. IT CAN'T BE INVOICE MONEY.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE BILL PAID BY DECEMBER 30.
MUNICIPALITIES. PER THE FUNDING AGREEMENT COUNTIES SHOULD PROVIDE MONEY TO THE MUNICIPALITIES A. THE END OF THE DAY THE COUNTY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAYMENT OF FUNDS. ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IS ENTERING INTO AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE MUNICIPALITIES AND CONSTITUTIONALS SO THEY SUBMIT A PLAN. THEY'VE SUBMIT AID PLAN ALREADY.
THEY WOULD SUBMIT A PLAN. WE WOULD RUN IT THROUGH CONSULTANT THROUGH STATE AND MAKE SURE IT'S ALL VALID EXPENSES AND REIMBURSE THAT MONEY AS ITS SPENT.
THAT WAY IT'S PROTECTING THE COUNTY IN CASE SOMETHING IS NOT ELIGIBLE. THE CARES TEAM MYSELF, WE HAVE OUR NEW GRANTS ANALYST ONLINE. HELP FROM FINANCE DEPARTMENT.
PURCHASING DEPARTMENT. FACILITIES, LIBRARIES AND I SKIPPED OVER THE CLERKS ON PURPOSE.
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE CLERK'S OFFICE.
WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE INVOLVED FROM DAY ONE.
IN THE MIDDLE OF DOING THE CARES MONEY WE'RE GOING TO TRANSITION TO THE CLERK SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE IS NO HICCUPS IN THE WAY WE SPEND THE MONEY SO THEY'VE BEEN INSTRUMENT UNTIL MAKING SURE THEY HAVE SOMEBODY ON OUR TEAM FROM DAY ONE HELPING US THROUGH THE PROCESS. INPUT FROM THE STAKEHOLDERS.
ALL THE CONSTITUTIONALS. MUNICIPALITIES, WE'VE TALKED TO THE FOOD BANKS. CCUA.
CLAY ELECTRIC TO TRY DETERMINE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE PAST DUE.
WE'VE TALKED TO CCDA, CLAY CHAMBER, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. WE REALLY HAVE TRIED TO REACH OUT TO AS MANY PEOPLE IN THE FIVE DAYS WE'VE HAD TO TRY THE MAKE THIS A COMPREHENSIVE COUNTY PLAN NOT A BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PLAN BUT BRING EVERYBODY TOGETHER IDEAS AS WE WORKED WITH EACH OF YOU INDIVIDUAL THROW GO OVER WHAT THE PLAN IS. INTO THE PRESENTATION AS FAR AS HOW WE DECIDED TO BREAK THE MONEY UP.
WE'VE GOT THREE AREAS OF FOCUS, ONE IS IMPROVING GENERAL GOVERNMENT AREAS FOR STAFF AND CITIZENS, THAT INCLUDES FUNDING FOR THE CONSTITUTIONALS AND MUNICIPALITIES SO THEY CAN DO THE SAME TO BOLSTER THEIR AREAS WHERE THE PUBLIC IS GOING.
THAT IS 32% OF THE MONEY. PUBLIC SAFETY AND HEALTH HAD CARE IMPROVEMENTS. MAKING HEALTHCARE RESPONSERS ABLE TO RESPOND. AND THEN FAMILY ASSISTANCE AND RESTARTING BUSINESSES AND NONPROFIT WE HAVE THE FULL 38 MILLION PLAN. WE'VE IDENTIFIED IF WE ONLY SPEND THE 9.5 MILLION WHERE IS THAT MONEY GOING TO GO.
WE'VE TRIED TO ADHERE CLOSE TO THE SAME PERCENTAGES.
>> THE ADDRESSING NEED. >> WHAT IS THE PRIORITY OF THE THINGS WE'RE SPENDING ON? COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE 30%.
>> WE MADE SURE THE MUNICIPALITIES AND CONSTITUTIONALS WERE ALLOCATED THEIR FUNDING.
PUBLIC SAFETY WE LOOKED AT MAKING SURE WE WERE EQUIPPED IN THE BEASTIE APPROACH ANY RESURGENCE.
SO ADDING MONEY TO OUR EQUIPPING OUR FIRE TRUCKS AND AMBULANCES
[01:55:04]
FULLY FOR BACKUPS IN CASE WE HAVE TO SURGE.GETTING THE HEALTH TRAILERS THAT HEATHER TALKED ABOUT SO SHE CAN DO MOBILE TESTING AND IMMUNIZATIONS.
WE LOOKED THROUGH AND DECIDED WHERE WE WOULD KEEP IT ONE THIRD, UNTHIRD, 1/3 IF THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION.
>> CARRY ON. >> GENERAL GOVERNMENT HERE IS HIGHLIGHTS OF WHAT WE WERE PLANNING ON USING EITHER US OR CONSTITUTIONALS OR MUNICIPALITIES , THE KINDS OF THINGS WE'RE TALK ABOUT. RETRO FITTING FAUCETS IN HIGH TRAFFIC LOCATIONS. TELEWORKING EQUIPMENT.
WILE WE ALL WENT TO TELEWORKING IT'S DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY SO IT'S SECURE. ADDING ADDITIONAL SECURITY.
NO TOUCH EQUIPMENT FOR THE LIBRARIES.
CONSTITUTIONAL REIMBURSEMENTS. FUNDING FOR MUNICIPALITIES.
WE WOULD NEED 20 ALLOW THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT TO CONTINUE CUTTING CHECKS ESPECIALLY IF WE'RE ISSUING CHECKS TO BUSINESSES AND FAMILIES OR PAYING THEIR BILLS.
DO YOU WANT TO VOTE ON THESE INDIVIDUALLY OR ROLL THROUGH
TABRA WE NEED TO APPROVE HER AS A PURCHASING AGENT.
SHE DIDN'T HAVE THE TRAINING UNTIL TODAY.
USUALLY WE BRING YOU A THING THAT SAYS APPROVE THIS PURCHASING AGENT LIST. SHE JUST HAD THE TRAINING TODAY.
WE NEED TO DO THAT BECAUSE WE'RE PULLING WHITNEY THERE PUBLIC SAFETY TO HELP WITH THE TEAM. WE HAVE ONE EVENT AT THE J.P.
HALL BUILDING SCHEDULED. THAT'S WHERE MY TEAM IS SETTING UP FOR THE CARES ACT. CURRENTLY YOU HAVE A POLICY THAT WAS ADOPT WHAT THE COUNTY MANAGER PUT IN PLACE THAT WE CAN'T USE THE BUILDING OR EXTENSION SERVICES FOR OUTSIDE GROUPS. WE WOULD ASK PERMISSION TO MONTH OF THAT ONE GROUP TO ONE OF THOSE TWO FACILITIES.
EVERYBODY ELSE HAS BEEN MOVED OFF CAMPUS.
AUTHORITY TO SPLIT PROJECTS. THERE IS SOME LANGUAGE IN THE CARES ACT THIS SAYS YOU SHOULD TRY TO WORK FOR BUSINESSES, MINORITY OWNED BUSINESSES. GENERALLY SPEAKING WE DON'T SPLIT PO'S. PROVIDE DIRECTION ON THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS AND WE WOULD ASK THAT THE MANAGER BE GIVEN APPROVAL TO EXECUTE THOSE. AGAIN IF WE DRAFT AN INTERLOCAL IN THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO WEEKS YOU GUYS DON'T MEET AGAIN FOR THREE WEEKS. WE WOULD WANT TO START LOUING THAT MONEY TO GO BACK TO THE CONSTITUTIONALS AND MUNICIPALITIES. PROVIDE DIRECTION ON THE SPENDING PLAN. I DID PUT IN HERE ADDITIONAL FUNDS DUE TO REIMBURSEMENT. THAT'S FOR Y'ALL'S DISCUSSION.
WE WOULD LIKE TO AUTHORIZE THE COUNTY MANAGE TORE SEND A LETTER REQUESTING THE ADDITIONAL 75%. INSTEAD OF IT BEING REIMBURSEMENT HAVE HIM SEND A LETTER BASED ON OUR PLAN WE'D
[02:00:01]
LIKE TO RELEASE OUR MONEY SO WE DON'T HAVE TO FRONT THE REST OF IT. AND THEN IF WE DO RECEIVE THE AGREEMENT FOR THE 75% IN THE NEXT THREE WEEKS.GIVE THE COUNTY MANAGER THE ABILITY TO EXECUTE THAT AGREEMENT SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOARD MEETING TO START THAT PROCESS OF GETTING THE 75% MOVING.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE. >> THAT'S ALL.
JUST THOSE FEW ITEMS. >> WOULD BIT APPROPRIATE TO ADDRESS AT LEAST ONE OF THESE EXPENDITURE ITEMS NOW?
>> IT'S YOUR FLOOR SIR. THE CONSULTING FIRM.
EXPLAIN HOW MUCH IT IS AND WHAT WE'RE GETTING FOR THAT.
I'M NOT BIG ON CONSULTING FIRMS. >> THAT'S A CONSULTING FIRM WHO HAS BEEN DOING CARES ACT MANAGEMENT AND CONSULTING OUT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THEY ARE UNDER A COOP AGREEMENT.
SO WE WOULD BE USING THEIR AGREEMENT.
THE IDEA IS HOURLY RATE FOR THEM TO REVIEW OUR PLANS AND PROJECTS. MAKE SURE THAT THEY DON'T SEE ANY ISSUES WITH IT. THEY'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THE I.R.S. ON HOW THIS FUNDING WORKS.
AND FOR THE WE'VE CAPPED IT AT $100,000.
FOR THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY WE FELT IT WAS A GOOD OPTION IF WE'RE TRYING TO SPEND $38 MILLION JUST TO GIVE US ONE MORE PERSON TO LOOK AT IT AND MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING WHAT IS RIGHT.
>> SO WE DON'T GET IN TROUBLE. >> IT'S HE HAS THAN 1/3 OF 1% OF
THE OVERALL FUNDING. >> WITH THAT DO THEY HAVE SOME KIND OF GUARANTEE OR AGREEMENT OR INSURANCE OR SOMETHING IF WE PAY THEM $100,000 IF THEY APPROVE IT WE WON'T HAVE TO
REPAY IT? >> I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT COURTNEY. SHE'S NOT HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE DOCUMENTS YES. I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN PUT
LIABILITY ON THEM OR NOT. >> OTHERWISE WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF GIVING THEM $100,000. THEY SAY IT LOOKS GOOD BUT THERE IS NO LIABILITY TO THEM WHAT IS THE POINT.
>> I HAVEN'T SEEN THE AGREEMENT. I THINK JOHN MENTIONED THAT THEY WERE OUT OF NEW YORK OR THEY WERE HANDLING NEW YORK'S BUT IS THIS GOVERNED BY OUR STATE? IS OUR STATE APPROVING THE MONEY
OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT? >> FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ULTIMATELY APPROVES THE MONEY. THE STATE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR US.
AT THE END OF THE DAY SIRIUS THE ONE THAT IS GOVERNING THIS UNDER
THE SOCIAL SECURITY ACT. >> THIS IS AN INTERNATIONAL -- THIS IS A NATIONAL COMPANY THAT IS DEEP INTO EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT RECOVERY, FEMA AND THIS TYPE OF THING. BECAUSE CARES ACT IF YOU COMMUNITY COMMUNICATE WITH PARTNERS AT THE STATE LEVEL , THE CARES ACT IS SO NEW, YOU ASK QUESTIONS AND IT'S LIKE I DON'T KNOW. INTERNATIONAL -- NATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT HAS BEEN ENTRENCHED IN IT IN NEW YORK FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. THEY ARE DEALING AND GETTING THE REIMBURSEMENTS. IT'S JUST DOING THE CONTRACT WITH THEM TO PUT A SECOND SET OF EYES ON IT.
THE STATE WILL APPROVE THAT PLAN.
I CALL IT AN INSURANCE POLICY. I HATE PAYING CONSULTANTS TOO.
BUT WITH THIS BEING SO NEW, THIS FUNDING HAS NEVER CAME FORWARD, WE'RERA TREATING IT LIKE A FEMA EVENT BUT THIS IS SO NEW WE WANT A SECOND SET OF EYES BECAUSE IN TWO YEARS I DON'T WANT TO HAVE
TO PAY BACK THIS MONEY. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
>> I AGREE WITH THE CONCEPT. I THINK THAT MAKES SENSE.
I GUESS QUESTION IS WHAT KIND OF GUARANTEE.
IF THEY SAY YES THIS LOOKS GOOD DO THEY STAND BY THAT?
>> WE HAD DISCUSSIONS ON THAT EARLIER IN LEGAL.
ONCE WE GET THE CONTRACTS TOGETHER WE DON'T HAVE AN EXECUTED CONTRACT YET OF WHAT CAN WE PUT INTO THAT? I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF WE CAN GET SOME KIND OF GUARANTEE OR ASSURANCE THAT IF THEY SAY IT'S GOOD TO GO THEN THEY'LL HANDLE IT. OTHERWISE THEY ARE JUST GIVING
US THEIR BEST GUESS. >> JUST TO CLARIFY THE $100,000 IS WHAT IS BUDGETED. IT'S AN HOURLY RATE NOT TO EXCEED $100,000. IT MAY BE $30,000.
IT'S AN HOURLY RATE NOT A LUMP SUM.
>> JUST ONE OF MANY EXPENDITURE ITEMS WE HAVE WHEN WE START DECIDING ON WHERE THE MONEY IS GOING.
THAT'S NOT WE'RE KNOT NOT VOTING THAN TONIGHT.
WE'LL HAVE TIME TO LOOK AT THE CONTRACT BEFORE WE START PARCELING OUT THIS MONEY TOO IS THAT CORRECT?
>> I THINK WHAT WE'RE GOING TO ASK TO DO IS GO AHEAD AND ADD THOSE THINGS INTO A CONTRACT AND HAVE COURTNEY REVIEW IT AND GIVE COUNTY MANAGER AUTHORIZATION TO SIGN THAT CONTRACT SINCE WE'RE
[02:05:01]
GOING OFF OF A AGREEMENT. >> TECHNICALLY UNDER THE PURCHASING POLICY IF I UNDERSTAND IT CORRECTLY THEY UNDER THE PURCHASING POLICY IT FALLS UNDER ONE OF EXCEPTION IT DOESN'T EVEN NEED TO BE BROUGHT TO THE BOARD.
THE COUNTY MANAGE ERE CAN EXECUTE THAT AGREEMENT UNDER OUR PURCHASING POLICY. IS THIS IS COMING OUT OF THE
MONEY WE'RE GETTING. >> THIS ALLOCATION DOCUMENT FOR THIS MONEY THAT WE HAD EARLIER LOOKED AT IT, WE WON'T GET TO REVIEW AND PUT OUR FINGERPRINTS ON THIS ONCE WE VOTE TONIGHT? ARE WE VOTENING TO ALLOCATION PART OF IT.
>> WE ASKED TO YOU LOOK AT THE FIRST 9.5 MILLION.
BECAUSE WITH THIS SIX MONTH TIME FRAME, WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO GET THINGS ORDERED, PROCESSED, ORDERED, DELIVERED, EVERYBODY ELSE IS DOING THE SAME THING.
>> MY UNDERSTANDING IS WITH RESPECT TO THE YELLOW HIGHLIGHTED WE NEED TO START YESTERDAY.
AND THERE IS NO WAY TO WAIT UNTIL MID JULY WHEN YOU COME BACK TO APPROVE ALL THE AGREEMENTS AND MOVE FORWARD.
ONCE WE RECEIVE THE 9 MILLION FROM THE STATE THEN WE'LL MOVE
FORWARD. >> AND IF THE MONEY GETS MOVED FORWARD FOR THE 38.5 MILLION, WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE ENTIRE PROJECT LIST IF POSSIBLE.
SOME OF THESE PROJECTS MAY TAKE FIVE OR SIX MONTHS TO EXECUTE.
>> THE QUESTION IS WHETHER OR NOT WE WOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SECOND POSSER , THE 75% IF% WE HAD TO SPEND IT AND THEN BE REIMBURSED. IT DEPENDS ON HOW FAST THE STATE IF AT ALL DECIDES THEY WOULD LIKE TO ENTERTAIN THAT POSSIBILITY OF GIVING US THE MONEY IN THE SAME WAY THEY ARE GIVING US THE FIRST 9.5 MILLION. I WOULD NOT ANTICIPATE THAT COMING BACK BEFORE A COUPLE OF WEEKS BY THE TIME WE GET THE LETTER TO THEM AND THE GOVERNOR IS NOW IMMERSED WITH HIS RED PEN ON THE BUDGET VETOING ALL OF OUR PROJECTS.
AT THIS POINT WHO KNOWS WHEN THAT WOULD COME BACK IF AT ALL.
IT TOOK THEM THREE MONTHS TO GET THE MONEY TO US IN THE FIRST PLACE. I DON'T HOLD A GREAT DEAL OF HOPE. MIGHT BE BETTER OFF GETTING A SCRATCH LOTTERY TICKET THAN WAITING FOR THE STATE.
>> BUT YOU HAVE TO BUY A TICKET. >> WE'RE GOING TO SEND THE NOTICE. MY FEELING IS CERTAINLY THE CONSULTANT IS NOT GOING TO BE THE LAST PERSON THAT IS GOING TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION. THEY ARE GOING TO LOOK AT THE PLAN AND LET US KNOW MAYBE IT NEEDS TO BE WORDED THIS WAY INSTEAD OF THAT WAY AND THEN SEND IT TO THE STATE SO WE CAN MOVE FORWARD ON ALL OF THOSE ITEMS. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM IF YOU THINK WE NEED TO SET A SPECIAL MEETING, I THINK THAT MIGHT BE WORTHWHILE.
I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM IN ADDITION TO THE COUNTY MANAGER , THE CHAIRMAN IS SOMEBODY THAT WOULD SIGN OFF ON SOME OF THOSE DOCUMENTS IN ADDITION TO THE COUNTY MANAGER.
THOSE ARE THOUGHTS MIDTERM OF AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
WHAT THEY ARE TELLING SUS WE NEED TO MOVE THIS AHEAD TO BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE MONEYS IN THE TIME FRAME WE HAVE AND PASS IT DOWN TO MUNICIPALITIES AND THE CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS BECAUSE THEY HAVE THINGS THEY ARE GOING TO NEED TO PUT INTO PLAY AS WELL.
THAT DEPENDS ON YOUR COMFORT LEVEL AT THIS POINT AS TO WHERE YOU THINK WE SHOULD GO. I THINK ACTION ITEMS THEY ARE PUTTING ON THE BOARD THEY ARE LOOKING FOR AN OK ON THIS
EVENING. >> CAN YOU PUT THAT LIST BACK ON THE BOARD WE'RE CONSIDERING TONIGHT?
>> JUST FOR CLARITY. I DID ASK IF THERE WAS POSSIBILITY OF AN EXTENSE AND THEY SAID NO 30 DECISION THE
ABSOLUTE DEADLINE FOR THIS. >> THIS IS NOT THE COMPLETE LIST. THIS IS HIGHLIGHTS OUT OF THE
OVERALL SPENDING. >> I PERSONALLY DON'T HAVE ANY HEART BURN WITH ANY OF THOSE NINE ITEMS. WELL THOUGHT OUT AND WELL PUT TOGETHER BY TROY.
I DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT TWO OR THREE OF THE SPECIFIC
EXPENDITURE ITEMS. >> WOULD THAT BE NUMBER 7?
THE SPENDING MAN? >> THAT WOULD BE NUMBER 7 THE
SPENDING PLAN, YES, MA'AM. >> I'M WITH YOU ON THAT.
[02:10:01]
OTHER THAN THE SPENDING PLAN, I WAS THINKING EVERYTHING ELSE LOOKS GOOD. CAN WEATHER SERVICE PROVE THAT ON CONSENT AND TALK ABOUT THE SPENDING PLAN SPECIFICALLY?>> I THINK THAT WOULD APPROXIMATE A GOOD IDEA.
I DON'T WANT TO GET US BACKED UP ON ANY DEADLINES.
CAN WE PASS EVERYTHING EXCEPT 7 AND WOULD WE HAVE TIME EVEN IF IT'S A SPECIAL MEETING GO BACK AND ADDRESS THE SPECIFIC ITEMS?
>> I WAS SAYING WE COULD GET THAT OUT OF THE WAY AND THEN
DISCUSS. >> I WOULD AGREE COMMISSIONER ROLLINS IT WOULD BE BETTER IF WE COULD TALK ABOUT IT TONIGHT AND MOVE IT FORWARD DUE TO THE DEADLINES WE'RE UNDER.
>> I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT IN M IN TERMS WE'LL
HAVE TO DISCUSS IN DEPTH. >> MAYBE NOT.
YOU MAY BE RIGHT MIKE. YOU WANT TO GO INTO THE SPECIFIC ITEMS. IS THAT SATISFACTORY TO THE
BOARD? >> DO YOU WANT TO VOTE ON ONE
THROUGH NINE ABSENT SEVEN. >> TWO THROUGH NINE ABSENT 7.
>> VOTE ON TWO THREW THROUGH NINE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 7
FIRST OR DO YOU WANT TO SENATE. >> I'LL MOVE ITEMS TWO THREW THROUGH NINE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 7.
ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE? OPPOSED.
LET'S GO BACK AND RAE DRESS 7. MAYBE WE CAN KNOCK THESE OUT
>> AND PLEASE WHOEVER SEES SOMETHING ON THERE YOU GOT A QUESTION ABOUT. JUMP ON IT.
IF WE COULD BREAK IT UP INTO THREE PHASES.
PHASE ONE IS YELLOW. PHASE TWO IS BLUE AND FASTLY THE WHITE , THE NOT HIGHLIGHTED ITEMS THAT ARE ON THERE.
THAT WAY THE PHASE ONE ITEMS AMOUNT TO AND IF TROY TOLD ME BEFORE THAT EQUALS APPROXIMATELY $9.5 MILLION AT THAT INITIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY. THAT IS I THINK WHAT YOU WERE GETTING AT IN YOUR QUESTION. I DON'T THINK TROY UNDERSTOOD
WHAT IT WAS. >> IF WE COULD DO IT THAT WAY AND MAYBE NUMBER 7 IS BROKEN UP INTO THREE PARTS AND THEN I THINK WE COULD GET RESOLUTION AND MOVEMENT ON IT.
>> THAT'S A GOOD WAY TO DO IT. >> LET'S ADDRESS THE ITEMS HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW ON THE EXPENDITURES.
IF WE HAVE AN UP TICK. SECURITY JUST LIKE THE COUNTY IS ASKING FOR TO SECURE THEIR ENVIRONMENT BETTER FOR TELEWORKING. THE NEGATIVE AIR-FLOW CELLS TO PREVENT SPREAD INSIDE THE JAIL. I ADDED WHAT I COULD.
THEIR TOTAL ASK IS 750. I'M WITHIN 30,000 OF THEIR TOTAL
EXPLANATION TROY. >> ANYTHING ELSE ON THERE THAT WE MIGHT QUESTION AS FAR AS THE ONES MARKED IN YELLOW?
>> WOULD IT MAKE MORE SENSE TO MOVE THE PEOPLE TESTED POSITIVE MANY JAIL TO A DIFFERENT PLACE? RATHER THAN REBUILD THE JAIL?
[02:15:33]
>> I THINK PART OF THAT THAT'S A CONGREGATIONAL LIVING THAT WE HAVE. THE QUESTION WOULD BE WHERE WOULD YOU PUT THEM. ANOTHER COUNTY IS NOT GOING TAKE THEM AND YOU FACE THAT IN PRISON SITUATIONS WHERE WE'VE HAD HUGE AMOUNT OF OUTBREAKS. I THINK IF WE CAN ISOLATE THESE INDIVIDUAL AND CONTAIN IT THAT'S ALWAYS OUR BEST FRONT LINE BY EITHER YOU HAVE A WING. MAYBE JUST RETRO FITTING PART OF THE JAIL WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING AT.
>> HAVE YOU RESTREWED SHERIFF'S PLAN? I'VE NOT OTHER THAN JUST THE VAGUENESS THEY PROVIDED THUS FAR. IT IS A CONCERN OF MINE IF WE HAD AN OUTBREAK IN THAT FACILITY IT COULD SPREAD THROUGH 350
PEOPLE REALLY QUICKLY. >> I KNOW THAT.
HAVE WE GOT A PLAN IN PLACE TO FIX IT? THAT SOMEBODY THAT KNOW WHAT IS IS GOING ON HAS APPROVED?
>> I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET TO SIR.
WE GET THE ALLOCATIONS. WE DID THIS ALL IN A WEEK'S TIME. IF THE PLAN IS APPROVED OR IN CONCEPT APPROVED WE'LL TAKE THIS AND SAY HEATHER PLEASE REVIEW TO MAKE SURE THESE NEGATIVES MEAT THEIR QUALIFICATIONS.
WE'VE HAD INPUT ON TOUCHLESS FAUCETS AND THE REASON FOR USING THOSE ND THOSE KIND OF THINGS. EACH STEP I THINK WILL GET A BETTER REVIEW. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE TO HAVE THIS
FIRST LEVEL OF REVIEW. >> I DON'T ENVY YOUR JOB.
I'M TRYING TO BRING UP SOME ISSUES.
>> WILL WE RETAIN THE ABILITY TO CHANGE SOME OF THIS IF WE GET TWO OR THREE WEEKS DOWN THE ROAD AND WE SEE SOMETHING IS TOTALLY
MESSED UP? >> YOU ALWAYS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO CHANGE SOMETHING. IF YOU GET TWO TO THREE WEEKS DOWN THE ROAD IF WE'VE SPENT THE MONEY THEN --
>> THIS WOULD ALL BE DONE PRIOR. >> WE'LL TAKE THIS PLAN AND I'LL USE SALES CELLS AS AN EXAMPLE. THEY ARE ASKING FOR SETS OF TWO, SO 12 CELLS THAT ARE NEGATIVE AIR-FLOW.
BEFORE WE EXECUTE THIS WE'LL GO TO OUR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND SAY DOES THIS MEET THE NEED OF WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH. IF THE ANSWER IS NO WE'RE NOT
GOING PROCEED WITH THE PURCHASE. >> THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING.
SO YES. >> THIS FEELS LIKE A READY FIRE
AIM DEAL. >> IF IT LOOKS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT PROBABLY IS. THAT IS WHAT THIS FEELS LIKE.
I DON'T WANT TO BE NEGATIVE. IF WE HAVE MONEY COMING IN WE CAN ACTUALLY SPEND FOR USEFUL STUFF GREAT.
I PAID A BIG TAX BILL. AT THE SAME TIME THERE IS A LEAP OF FAITH THAT THE FOLKS THAT RUN THE JAIL KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING WITH IT AND QUITE HONESTLY IF WE DON'T THINK IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO OR HEALTH DEPARTMENT SAYS THIS IS NOT GOING TO TAKE CARE OF WHAT WE NEED IT TO TAKE CARE OF WE CAN ADJUST IT AND GO A DIFFERENT WAY. TO THINK WE CAN MOVE PEOPLE OUT OF THE JAIL THIS HAVE BEEN INFECTED WITH THE VIRUS, WHERE ARE WE GOING TO PUT THEM? IT'S NOT LIKE TAKING AN 85-YEAR-OLD OUT OF A NURSING HOME AND PUT THEM IN ANOTHER NURSING HOME. WE HAVE SECURITY SITUATION TO DEAL WITH AS WELL. I THINK IF THAT'S WHAT THEY RECOMMENDED THEY ARE GOING TO DO WITH THE MONEY BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY THINK IS BEST. THAT'S THE WAY WE NEED TO GO.
I DON'T QUESTION THAT AT THIS POINT THIS TIME UNLESS SOMEBODY SEES BEFORE WE SUBMIT FOR THE CHECK OR HAND OFF THE CHECK [INAUDIBLE] .
[02:20:20]
>> I THINK YOU ANSWERED THE MAIN POINT.
WE DO HAVE SOME WIGGLE ROOM AS FAR AS IF SOMETHING JUMPS UP TOMORROW OR THE NEXT DAY WE CAN GO BACK AND MAKE SOME CHANGES.
>> THE TEAM IS GOING TO BRING EVERYTHING THROUGH THE COUNTY MANAGER. IS EVERYONE SATISFIED ON THE YELLOW ONES? CAN WE MOVE ON THE.
>> YOU BLUE IS SOME SUBSTANTIAL MONEY AS YOU WILL SEE.
ANY QUESTIONS FIRST? THEN TROY CAN ADDRESS THEM.
>> DO I NOT HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AS FAR AS THE BLUE ONES TROY OTHER THAN THERE ARE SOME WELL NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS HERE THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED THAT I THINK WOULD DO OUR COUNTY WELL TO HAVE ESPECIALLY THE IMPROVEMENT PROVED WAREHOUSE CAPABILITIES.
WE RAN INTO A DEFINITE NEED DURING THIS CURRENT EVOLUTION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. AND THAT WOULD BE A GOOD PROPOSAL. THAT ALONG WITH THE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AS ANOTHER HIGH DOLLAR TICKET.
BUT CERTAINLY MONEY WELL SPENT. >> WE GOT TO ADDRESS THE WAREHOUSE ISSUE BEFORE DECEMBER 306789 WE CAN'T BUILD
ANYTHING BY THEN RIGHT? >> LOOKING AT A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS. THE BEST OPTION IS TO PURCHASE.
THERE IS NOTHING. THAT IS A DESPERATE NEED.
I'M NOT A BUILDER OR AN ENGINEER BUT WE'VE REACHED OUT THE SOME PARTNERS IN A METAL BUILDING COULD BE CONSTRUCTED WITHIN THAT TIME FRAME AND BE DONE. THAT BOWLED BOWLED THE REQUIREMENT. WHEN WE WENT OUT FOR RFP IS THEY HAND THE KEYS OVER TO US BY 15 DECEMBER OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. WE HAVE AN AWFUL LOT OF COMMODITIES IN THEATRE IN CLAY COUNTY THAT ARE SPREAD OUT THROUGH AVENUES AND STORED IN DIFFERENT AREAS AND MAJORITY OF THAT STUFF I ONLY HAVE UNTIL 30 NOVEMBER.
IF I DON'T HAVE A PLACE TO PUT IN IT BY THEN I'M GIVING A LOT OF STUFF AWAY WE'VE GOTTEN FOR FREE.
IT'S FEDERAL MONEY. WE'RE USING THE EXHIBIT BUILDING
TO STORE A LOT OF COMMODITIES. >> I KNOW WE HAVE A NEED.
THE QUESTION IS CAN WE PERFORM ANYWAY PERIOD OF TIME?
>> YES, SIR WE CAN. >> AGAIN IT'S GOING TO BE A MATTER OF WHEN ARE WE GETTING THAT 75% BECAUSE AGAIN WE DON'T WANT TO COMMIT THIS MONEY UNTIL WE HAVE A CONTRACT OR HAVE MONEY IN HAND TO EXECUTE THAT AND THEN DO THE RFP'S AND THAT TYPE STUFF. I GOING TO BE A MATTER OF HOW QUICK WE CAN GET THE COMMITMENTS AND CONTRACTS ON THE REMAINING 75% BECAUSE THAT WAREHOUSE IS COMING OUT OF THE REMAINING 75%.
>> QUESTIONS UNDER WHETHER YOU OR COMMENTS?
>> I HAVE ONE. WAREHOUSE WE NEED CAPABILITY.
BE NICE TO HAVE IT FOR ALL THE REASONS JOHN TALKED ABOUT.
ALSO I THINK THE STATE INDICATED THEY WOULD PARTICIPATE IN THE
[02:25:09]
[INAUDIBLE] REALIZE IT'S A LONG SHOT AT THIS POINT BECAUSE WE ARE NOT GOING DO THE BLUE UNLESS WE GET CHECK FROM THE STATE. IN TERMS OF THE REST OF THE 75%.SO THAT'S IS ONLY THING I WOULD THROW OUT IS IF THERE IS ANOTHER AREA FOR IT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
>> AT THE AIRPORT. >> WE'VE BEEN WORKING AGGRESSIVELY WITH OUR PARTNERS TO TRY FIND ANOTHER SPOTS.
IF WE WAIT TOO MUCH LONGER BEYOND THIS IT'S A SHOVEL READY AND WE'VE WORKED WITH MRS. MORGAN AND LOOKED AT THAT THE PLAN FOR THE FAIRGROUNDS AND HOW WOULD IT IMPACT AND HOW WE COULD ADJUST. WE ARE WORKING WITH PARTNERS TO FIND ANOTHER SPOT. TO GET IT DONE BY 15 DECEMBER IT'S GOING TO NEED TO BE A SHOVEL READY PACKAGE.
>> WHAT SIZE WAREHOUSE IF. >> 30,000 SQUARE FEET SIR.
>> LET'S TALK AFTERWARDS. >> I WISH I HAD ONE THAT LARGE.
>> CLIMATE CONTROLLED. >> ANYTHING ELSE ON BLUE?
>> JUST ONE ON THE INCUBATOR 850,000.
I DON'T KNO TO COORDINATE WITH THANKSGIVING CAN W ST. JOHN'S STATE COLLEGE TO WHERE THERE IS AN ECONOMY SCALE IF WE COULD USE PART OF ONE OF THEIR BUILDINGS OR BUILD OUT ONE OF THEIRS MIGHT WORK. I KNOW IN ST. PETE THEY HAD A JOINT USE LIBRARY FACILITY WITH THE CITY AND STATE COLLEGE AND THEY WERE ABLE TO MAXIMIZE THE USE OF ONE BUILDING FOR TWO PURPOSES. JUST A THOUGHT ON THAT.
>> IF THEY WANT TO SELL US ONE. CAN'T USE IT FOR LEASE.
WE'D HAVE TO BUY A BUILDING. >> WE COULD PUT UP THE MONEY TO BUILD ON TO IT AND THEN THE LONG TERM USE WOULD BE JOINT OR SOMETHING. JUST A THOUGHT.
>> IT'S A GOOD THOUGHT. >> SINCE THAT'S TYPE OF THING UF
HAS AN INCUBATOR. >> ON YELLOW.
ANY FINAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >> WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE ONES THAT ARE MARKED NO COLOR. THAT IS WHITE.
LET'S REVIEW THOSE PLEASE. >> DEDICATED STAFFER CARES ACT MANAGEMENT, SPEAK TO THAT JUST BRIEFLY.
>> YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A TEAM OF 7, 8 PEOPLE WORKING ON THIS PRETTY MUCH FULL TIME. WE WOULD WANT TO TAKE THE MONEY FROM CARES ACT AND REIMBURSE THE COUNTY'S GENERAL FUND FOR PAYING FOR THOSE PEOPLE, MYSELF AND THOSE WORKING ON IT.
AMBER FROM THE CLERK'S OFFICE. ANYBODY ELSE WE PUT ON THE TEAM WE WOULD WANT TO REIMBURSE THE GENERAL FUND FOR THOSE PEOPLE.
>> OK. >> ON THE LIBRARY LOCKERS, WHAT
DOES THAT LOOK LIKE EXACTLY? >> AMAZON.
IF YOU HAVE SEEN THE AMAZON LOCATION AT THE GAS STATIONS, YOU HAVE A SET OF LOCKERS OUTSIDE THE BUILDING.
SOMEBODY THERE IS TWO PIECES TO IT.
THERE IS THE FIRST PIECE WHICH IS OUTSIDE THE BUILDING YOU HAVE A UNIT RESERVINGED. THE LIE ENTREE CLOSED.
WE TAKE BOOK AND PUT ANYTIME A LOCKER.
IT'S TIED TO YOUR CARD. SCAN YOUR CARD, PUNCH THE NUMBER, THE DOOR OPENS. THE OTHER SIDE IS SEE THROUGH LOCKERS. THAT IS YOUR VENDING MACHINE.
HERE IS 50 MATERIALS WE HAVE AVAILABLE.
YOU WALK UP WHATEVER TIME, LIBRARY IS CLOSED BECAUSE OF COVID. YOU GET YOUR MATERIALS OUT.
IT'S A WAY FOR THE PEOPLE TO GET MATERIALS, DVD'S OR WHATEVER.
>> MAYBE INVEST THAT IN DIGITAL RESOURCES THAT COULD THEN BE
DOWNLOAD AND MORE ZIKALY. >> THE PROBLEM IS IT'S A LICENSING AND YOU CAN'T PAY FOR A LICENSING OUT OF THIS BECAUSE IT'S A LICENSING GOES PAST DECEMBER 30 WHICH MEANS YOU ARE
[02:30:03]
BUYING SOMETHING YOU WANT DO BY DECEMBER 30.>> WE THOUGHT ABOUT ELECTRONIC AND HOW WE COULD DO THAT.
>> CAN WE PURCHASE RIGHTS? THEY DON'T DO THAT AT ALL?
>> NOT ON E BOOKS ANYMORE IS. >> TWO OF THE E BOOK VENDORS AS OF TODAY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS GOING TO DO. A LOT OF E BOOKS YOU ARE BUYING A SET OF USES. YOU GET 26 USES.
IF YOU USE ALL 26 USES IN TWO MONTHS, IT'S GONE.
IF IT TAKES YOU TWO YEARS TO USE THE 26 USES IT'S GONE AFTER THIS. A LOT OF THAT MODEL SO THERE IS
NO WAY TO BUY THE RIGHTS. >> CAN'T JUSTIFY BOOK?
>> NO, SIR. >> THERE IS A BUNCH OF STUFF GOING ON WITH COPY RIGHT ABOUT THIS AND WHETHER THAT WILL BE CHANGING. RIGHT NOW NO.
>> AS I MENTIONED EARLIER WHEN WE WERE TALKING.
LOOKS LIKE TO ME THE STICKY PART OF THIS MAY BE ON THE THIRD LEG OR THE THIRD COLUMN. DISTRIBUTION OF MONEYS TO BUSINESSES WHO QUALIFY AND INDIVIDUALS CITIZENS IN THE COUNTY. AND YOU EXPLAINED YOU HAD A PLAN FOR THAT. YOUR TEAM WILL THEY BE OVERSEEING THIS OR REQUIRE ADDITIONAL PEOPLE?
>> YES, THE TEAM WILL BE OVER THAT REVIEWING ALL THE APPLICATIONS. PART OF THE EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE TRAINING PROGRAM WE'VE PUT THIS PLACE WOULD ALSO BE AN ABILITY TO BRING IN TEMPORARY LABOR FOR SIX MONTHS, POSSIBLY TEACH THEM A NEW SKILL. IF YOU WERE WORKING IN THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY PRECOVID YOU ARE NOW OUT OF WORK AND DECIDED YOU DON'T WANT TO GO BACK IN THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY, WE BRING YOU ON FOR A SIX MONTH THING. SOME OF THE PEOPLE MAY WORK IN AREA HELPING US VALIDATE INFORMATION.
SO THOSE PEOPLE MAY WORK IN OTHER PLACES.
THERE WILL BE A TEAM VALIDATING ALL OF THIS INFORMATION.
PART OF HAD IS DEVELOP SOFTWARE USING A COMPANY TO COLLECT ALL THE INFORMATION. COLLECT THE PAY STUBS, W2S, WHATEVER WE REQUIRE FOR THEM TO SUBMIT TO PROVE THEY HAD A LOSS.
YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER EVERYTHING IN THIS IS TIED TIED TO PROVING
YOU YOU HAD A COVID LOSS. >> AS YOU SAID EARLIER, YOUR MAIN CONCERN ON THIS IT NEED TO BE EQUITABLE AND USER FRIENDLY
THIS PROCESS. >> EQUITABLE, USER FRIENDLY AND
STABLE. >> YOU DON'T WON'T WANT TO BE LIKE A COUNTY HA ROLLED SOMETHING OUT AND IT CRASHED FIVE MINUTES IN. YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO PROCESS
THE APPLICATIONS. >> ALL THIS IS ITEM 7 WHICH WE PUSHED DOWN THE HAVE DISCUSSION ON.
YOU'VE SEEN THE YELLOW, YOU'VE SEEN THE BLUE AND YOU'VE SEEN THE WHITE. OTHER DISCUSSION?
>> MY THOUGHT IS GENERALLY IT'S A GREAT OUTLINE A MAZING TURN AROUND TIME, STAFF DID A LOT OF HARD WORK AND THIS IS A LOT OF GUESS WORK. I THINK THAT ISTH YELLOW IS PRETTY GOOD. BLEW IS MOSTLY GOOD.
WHITE THERE IS DETAILED STUFF THAT WHAT I'D LOVE THE DO IS GO AHEAD AND APPROVE GENERALLY IF CONCEPT AND COME BACK ON MORE DETAILS FOR THE THIRD LEG IF THAT IS POSSIBLE.
JUST TWEAK IT. >> ALL YOUR CONCERNS MAY BE ADDRESS TROY ONE ON ONE AFTER HE EXPLAINS.
>> I'M JUST SAYING HOW IS THAT GOING THE WORK.
CAN WE AMEND THE EXPENDITURE OUT OF THIS PLAN AND SUBMIT THAT.
>> WHAT THE BLUE AND THE WHITE ITEMS DON'T COME INTO PLAY UNTIL WE GET THE FULL 38 RIGHT. WE HOPE IF WE SEND THE LETTER GET THE AGREEMENT, COUNTY MANAGER YOU AUTHORIZED HIM TO SIGN IT FOR THE REMAINING 38. IF IT COMES BEFORE THE NEXT BOARD MEETING WE COULD SET A SPECIAL MEETING IF WE'RE REALLY READY TO MOVE TOWARD ON THE WHITE ITEMS.
>> I THINK WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS APPROVAL IN CONCEPT THESE ARE THE RIGHT AREAS. THERE IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE SOME DISCRETION. WE GET INTO A THING WHERE IS THIS SOMEBODY BROUGHT TODAY -- [INAUDIBLE] THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS DIRECTLY.
WE PUT STUFF IN HERE ABOUT NO TOUCH SURFACES.
IT WAS NOT A WATER FAUCET, TOILET AND SINK.
THAT MAY BE SOMETHING WE WANT TO ADD I THINK HAVING THAT
[02:35:03]
FLEXIBILITY THESE ARE GENERAL CONCEPTS AND THINGS MAY CHANGE AS WE DIG INTO THEM. THEY ARE NOT CONCRETE.DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? >> CAN YOU PUT OUR ACTION ITEMS BACK UP THERE AGAIN? JUST TO REITERATE.
WE'VE MOVED ON ALL ITEMS EXCEPT NUMBER 7 AND WE'VE DISCUSSED NUMBER 7. ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION ON NUMBER 7 BEFORE I ASK FOR A MOTION?
>> IF I COULD, I THINK WE SORT OF SKIPPED OVER SOME OF THE YELLOW AS YOU INDICATED. AND I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THOSE FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY WE TALKED ABOUT WAREHOUSES AND NO TOUCH AND COMPUTERS. WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT THE HUMAN ASPECT OF THIS. IT'S NOTED HERE.
IT'S LISTED HERE AND I THINK WE PEOPLE KNOW THAT IS WHERE THE MONEY NEED TO GO. IT NEED TO GO TO THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY. IF YOU COULD GO OVER SOME OF THESE THINGS. I DO HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT NONPROFITS AND FOOD PANTRIES BECAUSE THOSE ARE IN THE THIRD PHASE. AND THINKING THAT MAYBE THOSE
SHOULD BE IN THE FIRST PHASE. >> CURRENTLY WE HAVE IN THE FIRST PHASE ALLOCATED $2,000 FOR BUSINESSES THAT QUALIFY THAT WERE IMPACTED BY COVID WITH 25 OR FEWER EMPLOYEES.
IN THE FIRST PHASE WE'D ALLOCATE $2 MILLION TO THAT AREA.
THAT IS THE EQUIVALENT OF 1,000 BUSINESSES.
WE WOULD DO THE SAME THING ON THE HOUSEHOLDINGS.
$1,000 PER HOUSEHOLD THAT QUALIFIES.
ALLOCATE A MILLION DOLLARS TO THAT.
THAT IS 1,000 HOUSEHOLDS. THE PLAN HAS MORE THAN THAT IN IT. IT COMES DOWN TO A FUNDING OF THE 75% TO CONTINUE THAT PROGRAM.
THE PLAN WOULD BE TO INSTITUTE HAD PROGRAM THE LAST WEEK OF JULY. WE WOULD START TAKING APPLICATIONS IN ON A FIRST COME FIRST EVERYBODY IS BASIS.
NONPROFITS, WE HAVE MONEY SET ASIDE FOR NONPROFITS AND SPECIAE FOOD PANTRIES THAT WE ALL HAD SLATED IN PHASE THREE OF THE PLAN. IF YOU WANTED TO MOVE THOSE INTO PHASE ONE IT WOULD BAY DECISION OF IS THERE SOMETHING UNDER THE OTHER AREAS THIS WE DON'T DO? AND THAT'S THE QUESTION.
WE TRIED TO KEEP IT TO THE 1/3, 1/3, 1/3.
IF YOU WANT TO MOVE STUFF OUT OF ONE GROUP INTO ANOTHER, THAT'S
BOARD'S DECISION. >> JUST FOR PERSPECTIVE PHASE ONE WE'LL GET THE MONEY UP FRONT AND THIS WILL GO QUICK.
>> THAT'S THE MONEY WE HAVE IN THE BANK.
>> THE MONEY THAT COMES AFTER THAT IS PROBABLY GOING ■TO BE HERE TOO AND CAN BE SPENT SIMULTANEOUSLY.
IT'S NOT FINISH PHASE ONE AND THEN PHASE TWO AND THEN PHASE
THREE. >> THAT IS WHETHER WE GET THE 75% GIVEN TO US CASH UP FRONT OR ON A REIMBURSEMENT BASIS.
I'LL DEFER TO THE COUNTY MANAGER ABOUT THE CASH FLOW AND CONCERNS THE COUNTY SHOULD LOOK AT ON SPENDING THAT 75% UP FRONT.
>> I BELIEVE JUST TO KEEP IT SIMPLE WOULD BE IN MOVING FORWARD I'D LIKE TO YOU'VE GIVEN NORTHEAST PERMISSION IF I GET THE 75% THEN WE'RE GOOD. THE POINT IS MONEY IN THE BANK AND THE CASH FLOW THAT WE HAVE ONCE YOU ARE LOOKING AT THIS OTHER $30 MILLION TO FRONT THAT, THAT MONEY WOULD HAVE TO BE SPENT AND THEN REIMBURSED AND BY THE END OF DECEMBER.
I'D LIKE TO REALLY KIND OF HOLD ON THAT IF WE CAN.
IT'S HARD TO SAY HOLD ON THIS BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS IN DIRE NEED AND THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE FOR IT.
BUT IF WE CAN KIND OF SEE WHAT HAPPENS ONCE WE SUBMIT OUR SPEND PLAN HERE, WE PUT THE APPLICATION IN THAT Y'ALL APPROVED ON NUMBER 6 AND THEN THE LETTER, COSTEANED LETTER THIS WEEK TO TO ASK FOR THE MONEYS.
IT BECOMES DIFFICULT. I WOULD HAVE TO COME TO THE NEXT BOARD THE FIRST BOARD MEETING IN JULY AND EXPLAIN WHERE WE WOULD TAKE TH MONEYS FROM. THAT IS WHAT I'D LIKE TO GET TO WITH REGARDS TO CIP. THOSE WERE CIP FUNDS WHEN YOU LOOKED AT THIS IN BLUE. THEY ARE BIG PROJECTS.
A WAREHOUSE, HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND THIS.
[02:41:32]
[INAUDIBLE] WE QUICKLY TOOK A LOOK AT IT THIS MORNING. REALLY AND TRULY NUMBERS I CAN'T GET TO $30 MILLION CASH IMMEDIATELY.I COULD GET MAYBE TO 5, 10, MAYBE AT A MAX OF 15 TO COVER THOSE ITEMS, ESPECIALLY TWO BIG ITEMS. IF THAT'S THE CASE AND I START TO SEE THE TIME LINE WITH REGARD TO WAREHOUSE OR A PURCHASE OF A BUILDING, IF I SEE THAT, I WOULD ASK PERMISSION TO CARRY A SPECIAL MEETING PERHAPS.
WE COULD IF WE'RE STILL WITHIN TEAMS AND THE GOVERNOR'S AUTHORIZE THAT TO THE END OF JUNE, HE MAY EXTEND THIS AGAIN.
I'D LIKE TO HOLD A TEAMS MEETING AND SPECIAL MEETING THAT WAY FOR THE BOARD. AND WE CAN KIND OF MAKE A QUICKER DECISION THAT WAY IF THAT'S ACCEPTABLE.
THOSE ARE MY THOUGHTS. UPKEEP THIS IN MIND WE CAN KEEP
OUR TUESDAYS AVAILABLE. >> FY SUGGEST TUESDAY NEXT WEEK.
IF THAT TUESDAY COULD BE FENCED OFF LIKE IN THE AFTERNOON OR SOMETHING IF WE NEED TO HAVE ONE THAT QUICKLY, TWO IN ONE WEEK.
CAN WE PASS ITEM 7 WITH THE CAVEAT WE'RE IF FAVOR OF IT UNLESS CIRCUMSTANCES REQUIRE US TO MODIFY IT?
>> IS THAT AN APPROPRIATE MOTION.
WE'RE TALKING THINGS WE WOULDN'T BUY NORMALLY IN OUR NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS HERE. IF YOU GET THE REST OF THE MONEY
WE GOVERNMENT. >> THERE IS NO GUARANTEES.
I THINK IT'S DESIGNED THAT WAY. THIS IS ONE OF THE SHALE GATE DEALS. WE'LL HAVE A HARD TIME SPENDING $38 MILLION BY DECEMBER 30 EVEN WITH THE HELP OF SANTA CLAUS.
THE OTHER OPTION THAT AHASN'T BEEN TALKED ABOUT IS SOMETHING LONG TERM LIKE THE $9 MILLION BUILDING.
MIGHT MAKE SENSE TO DO THAT NOW. WE'D GIVE RAW MONEY AWAY TO PEOPLE AS IT COMES IN. THE LONG LEAD TIME STUFF WE NEED TO MOVE AND GET MOVING, THEN WE KNOW WE WANT AND IT'S GOING TO
TAKE A LONG TIME. >> I'M GOING TO THROW IN THERE.
[02:45:04]
IT'S NOT REALLY A WANT. WE'VE BEEN ASKING AND WE'VE HAD THE PROPERTY. IT'S BEEN TEN YEARS.TO ME I LIKE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING BUT I DON'T SEE IT AS A WANT.
WE NEED A DIFFERENT HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
>> THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT YEAH. I AGREE.
THIS IS NOT GOING -- THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT OVER.
PEOPLE ARE SAYING LAST NIGHT I WENT TO AN EVENT AND THEY SAID PANDEMIC IS OVER. THAT'S BS.
WE'RE GOING TO LIVE WITH THIS UNTIL WE HAVE AN EFFECTIVE VACCINE THAT IS ADMINISTERED TO THE POPULATION.
THIS IS JUST THE FIRST CUT. I DON'T SEE THAT BEING OVER F.
IT WAS ME KEEP THE PEOPLE LIVE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE HAVE TO DO. THOSE FOLKS HAVE BEEN ON THE FRONT LINES WITH OUR FOLKS IN TERMS OF MAKING SURE PEOPLE HAVE FOOD AND NONPROFITS ARE TAKING CARE OF PEOPLE.
AND THAT IS IN THE THIRD PHASE. I THINK IT SHOULD BE IN THE FIRST PHASE. I'M NOT GOING TO HOLD UP THE -- THAT'S WHERE THE MONEY IS MOST IMPORTANT.
>> COULD WE JUST TO MOVE US OFF CENTER AND BEING ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE EVERYBODY HERE TONIGHT.
CAN WE AGREE MAYBE TO DO THE YELLOW AND WE CAN REGROUP NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT WITH OUR SPECIAL MEETING AND ADDRESS THE BALANCE OF OUR CONCERNS? WOULD THAT BE ACCEPTABLE?
>> THAT WOULD GIVE -- I LIKE THAT IDEA BECAUSE I THINK YOUR CONCERNS YOU COULD GET WITH TROY YOU COULD SEE WHAT COULD BE
WORKED OUT. >> IF THERE THERE IS THINGS YOU WANT TO SEE DONE LET'S GET WITH STAFF BETWEEN NOW AND TUESDAY.
>> AND CONSIDER THE BLUE AND THE WHITE OUR PLAN TO SUBMIT TO THE STATE. AUTHORIZE SPENDENING TO YELLOW
TOMORROW. >> I THINK THE FIRST 9 MILLION I THINK WE NEED TO MOVE THAT EXPEDITIOUSLY.
>> I'LL APPROVE THE PLAN AS PRESENTED WE'LL CALL THE WHITE AND BLUE ITEMS UNTIL THE NEXT MEETLE.
HOPEFULLY WE'LL KNOW WHERE WHETHER WE ARE GOING TO GET THE
ADDITIONAL FUNDING. >> WHAT TIME WOULD THAT BE
COUNTY MANAGE SENATOR. >> TUESDAY 1500, 3 P.M.
>> WANT ME TO CHECK ON OUR ADVERTISING.
I'M NOT SURE IF ANYBODY IS TRAVELING FOR FOURTH OF JULY.
>> I'M NOT GOING TO BE IN TOWN. I CAN GET ON A COMPUTER AND LOG
IN. >> SO IF WE NEEDED TO BE FLEXIBLE AND DO IT ON ANOTHER DAY THAT WEEK BECAUSE THAT IS THE FIFTH WEEK, DOES HA PRESENT. WHAT IS YOUR AVAILABILITY FOR
FIRST THROUGH SECOND? >> I'M OUT OF TOWN.
>> TO THAT POINT THE GOVERNOR'S QUARTER ENDS ON THE 30TH.
WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO A TELEMEETING AT THIS POINT IN
TIME FLIGHT. >> BUT WE WOULD HAVE A QUORUM
PRESENT HERE. >> AND HE COULD CALL IN.
>> LET'S MOVE THIS ALONG FOLKS. IT'S TOUGH WHEN YOU ARE HAVING TO SPEND FREE MONEY. IT'S NOT FREE BUT.
>> SECOND. >> ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OTHER O' POSED.
SO DONE. >> SO WITH RESPECT TO THE SPENDING ON THE YELLOW ITEMS ONCE WE RECEIVE THE $9 MILLION, MY UNDERSTANDING IS WE WANT TO GET MOVING.
SO IN ORDER TO FACILITATE THAT, CURRENTLY BECAUSE WE ARE UNDER A COUNTY MANAGER HAS THE AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO THESE CONTRACTS AND MOVE FORWARD WITH ACQUISITION IN CONNECTION WITH GOODS AND SERVICES. HE WILL THEN BRING IT BACK FOR RATIFICATION. THAT IS ONE AVENUE WE CAN MOVE FORWARD IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AT LEAST WHILE THE LOCAL STATE OF EMERGENCY IS IN PLACE. ADDITIONALLY YOU CAN UNDER THE PURCHASING POLICY PROVIDE A WAIVER AND PROVIDE AN EXCEPTION TO ALLOW HIM TO SPEND THE FUND MOVING FORWARD.
WE JUST NEED CLARIFICATION SO WE KNOW HOW YOU WANT TO US MOVE FORWARD WITH BEING ABLE TO FACILITATE THIS.
>> I THINK YOU JUST SAID IT. >>
[02:50:02]
>> WE APPROVED ALL OF THAT OTHER STUFF DO A ONE WEEK ROLL OF EXPENSES. APPROVED THE CONSULTING CONTRACT
FOR $100,000. >> AS LONG AS IT'S IN THE YELLOW
YOU ARE GOOD WITH IT. >> PERFECT.
YELLOW MEANS GO. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND.
DO WE NEED TO RESTATE THE MOTION OR IS EVERYONE CLEAR ON IT?
>> NO REQUEST. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED? SO DONE. I KNOW THAT PROBABLY PUTS A KINK IN YOUR ROPE. WORK IT OUT.
>> YOU DID A GREAT JOB. >> AND WE THANK YOU.
I KNOW A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT WENT INTO THAT.
>> IT WAS TRULY A TEAM EFFORT. THE TEAM DID A GOOD JOB PUTTING
GOING TO BE A LATE SUP TORE NIGHT FOLKS BUT THAT'S OK.
WE'RE DOING THE LORD'S WORK I THINK.
[7. Discussion regarding Commission Auditor position (C. Grimm)]
>> I WILL KICK THIS ITEM OFF. THIS IS IN KNOLLUP TO THE LAST BOARD MEETING IN CONNECTION WITH MR. PRICE RETIRING AND MOVING FORWARD WITH THE HIRING AND SELECTION OF A NEW COMMISSION AUDITOR. THE REQUEST WAS TO WORK WITH THE AS A RESULT OF AMENDMENT NUMBER TEN TO WORK WITH THE CHARTER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE CODE AND THE JOB DESCRIPTION FOR THAT POSITION. INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET ARE THE RED LINES TO FACILITATE THAT IN CONNECTION WITH THE CHARTER ADMINISTRATIVE CODE AND JOB DESCRIPTION AND ALSO SOME OTHER ADDITIONAL REVISIONS TO THE JOB DESCRIPTION FOR YOU JUST TO CONSIDER. ONE THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT IS AS WE'VE DISCUSSED BEFORE IN CONNECTION WITH AMENDMENT AMENDMENT NUMBER TEN, MANY OF THE FUNCTIONS OF THE CURRENT COUNTY AUDITOR WILL TRANSITION OVER TO THE CLERK'S OFFICE. IN FACILITATING MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS INTERNAL COUNTY AUDITOR, THAT IS WHAT WE'VE DONE IN CONNECTION WITH THE READ REDLINES TO MAKE SURE WE'VE NOT STEPPED ON TOES. THAT'S A DIFFERENT POSITION OVER AT THE CLERK'S OFFICE. THIS POSITION WILL BE YOUR EMPLOYEE AND YOUR INTERNAL AUDITOR.
WON'T BE ADDRESSING FINANCIAL TYPE ISSUES THAT THE CLERK'S OFFICE WILL BE DOING IN CONNECTION WITH THEIR AWEING.
HOWEVER ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE REALLY LOOKED FOR WITH THE COUNTY MANAGER IS TRYING TO FIND SORT OF A MODEL IN HOW TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS. THE COUNTY MANAGER IN HIMS BORROW COUNTY HAD THIS POSITION FOR SOME TIME.
THEY'VE HAD THE INTERNAL AUDITOR.
WE'VE SPENT TIME SPEAKING WITH THE CURRENT AUDITOR AND SHE'S A WEALTH OF INFORMATION. SHE WILL BE GREAT TO HELP US ONCE YOU FIND THIS PERSON TO HELP FACILITATE MOVING ON AND DEVELOPING THIS OFFICE AND HOW IT WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT PATH.
SHE'S PROVIDED US LOTS OF INFORMATION THAT WE'LL BE ABLE
TO PROVIDE AND MOVE FORWARD. >> GO AHEAD.
>> I TOOK A STAB AT THE JOB DESCRIPTION.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS WANT TO ADD ANYTHING.
I'M LOOKING FOR A HIGH LEVEL STAFF PERSON THAT CAN DO SPECIAL STUDIES AND STUFF. I THREW SOME STUFF TOGETHER HERE. WE DO WORKSHOPS.
IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE A WHITE PAPER DONE BY A PRO BEFORE WE STA STARTED DELIBERATING ON F TO LAY OUT THE FACTS LIKE PRICE USED TO DO WITH THE SPREAD SHEETS AND STUFF.
THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR. >> AND TO MAINTAIN SOME FLEX
FROM THE OUR STANDPOINT. >> WE APPROVE THE PROJECTS.
>> WOULD BIT INAPPROPRIATE TO ADD A JOB DESCRIPTION SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF AND ANY OTHER ASSIGNMENT FOUND NECESSARY BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
>> I THINK IT'S ON THERE. PERFORMS OTHER DUTIES AS
ASSIGNED. >> I DIDN'T SEE THAT.
GOOD. AS LONG AS THAT IS THERE.
>> I WOULD LIKE THE SUGGEST WE EITHER ADVERTISE THIS OR POSSIBLY HAVE A HEAD HUNTER TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND SEE WHAT KIND OF BIDS WE CAN GET FROM A PRO TO GET US GOOD CANDIDATES.
I DON'T LIKE INTERVIEWING A MILLION PEOPLE.
IT'S UP TO YOU GUYS. THAT'S ANOTHER CONSULTING DEAL.
>> THIS ONE IS IMPORTANT. >> YEAH.
>> AND LAST TIME IT ENDED UP THAT YOU HAD TO DO THE RFP FOR
[02:55:01]
THE CONSULTANT FOR THE COUNTY MANAGER.>> WE DID THAT FOR WHEN WE DID A BRIEF -- [INAUDIBLE] DIDN'T WE GET A BID FROM STAFFING AMONG OTHERS.
DID WE DO AN OFFICIAL RFP OR JUST REACH OUT THE GET A BALLPARK. WE NEVER OFFICIALLY ADOPTED WHETHER OR NOT WE WERE GOING TO DO A SEARCH.
WE ADVERTISED THE POSITION OURSELVES.
>> FOR THE FINANCE DIRECTOR? >> RIGHT.
>> I BELIEVE WE DID ONE -- [INAUDIBLE]
. >> I'LL MAKE A MOTION WE DO AN RF -- WHATEVER IT IS TO GO OUT AND SEE WHO IS QUALIFIED TO FIND THIS TYPE OF PERSON. THEN WE CAN EVALUATE THE COST.
IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE $50,000.
>> DO I HAVE A SECOND TO THAT MOTION?
>> DID YOU MAKE A SECOND? >> NO.
>> DID YOU MAKE A SECOND? >> DID YOU MAKE ONE?
>> OK. >> DID HE MAKE THE FIRST ONE?
>> HE MADE THE MOTION. >> I JUST DON'T FIND HEAD HUNTERS THING AS HELPFUL. BUT FOR ME I KIND OF KNEW WHO THE TOP FIVE ON THE COUNTY MANAGER WOULD BE BEST FIT BEFORE I SAW A LIST OF NARROWED DOWN. I THINK IF WE HAVE 30 APPLICANTS I CAN LOOK THROUGH AND GO THAT MAKES SENSE AND NARROW DOWN THE FIVE. I DON'T NEED A FIRM TO DO THAT FOR ME. NOT SAYING IT WOULDN'T BE
HELPFUL BUT FOR ME IT'S NOT. >> PROBLEM WITH THAT IS WHEN WE GO DOLLARS GO LOOKING FOR THE FINANCIAL POSITION, WE ENDED UP WITH TWO TWO OR THREE APPLICANTS.
NONE OF THEM MADE THE GRADE. TO GET MULTIPLE APPLICANT YOU HAVE TO SEEK PEOPLE RATHER THAN WAIT FOR SOMEBODY TO SHOW UP.
>> DIDN'T WORK LAST TIME. >> WE DIDN'T HIRE ANYBODY FOR
MONTHS. >> I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH
SECONDING THE MOTION. >>>WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE COST IS GOING TO BE. BUT I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH LETTING COUNTY MANAGER GO AHEAD AND START ADVERTISING THE POSITION. WORKING WITH HUMAN RESOURCES AND COME UP WITH THE JOB DESCRIPTION AND PUT IT OUT THERE AS WE'RE WAITING FOR THE RFP.
SOMETIMES THINGS HAPPEN. THAT WOULD GET US TO A POINT WHERE WE'RE DOING SOMETHING
ABOUT IT RIGHT AWAY. >> THAT'S GOOD. >> ONE OTHER THING THAT JUST OCCURRED TO ME. THIS ISN'T LIKE THE FULL AUDITOR LIKE MIKE WOULD BE.
IT BEING A HYBRID ALL THOSE HILLSBORO COUNTY HAS ONE AND THERE MAY BE OTHER COUNTIES I'M
NOT SURE OF WHAT THE PAY SCALE WOULD BE. >> WE HAVE TO GET HUMAN RESOURCES IN TO IDENTIFY THAT AND COME UP WITH A JOB DESCRIPTION AND ALL THAT STUFF
>> ALSO BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR INTERNSHIPS IF WE FOUND THE RIGHT PERSON THAT WE COULD GET KIDS OUT OF DIFFERENT FINANCIAL AREAS AND LET THEM WORK WITH THE AUDITOR
AND SEE WHAT THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT IS ALL ABOUT. >>>DUAL TRACK THIS OR DO IT
FROM THE OUTSIDE? >> I MADE MY MOTION AND NOBODY SECONDED.
>> I SECOND. >> WE HAVE A SECOND. GO THROUGH AN RFP PROCESS.
>> I'D ALSO LIKE US TO, AND MAYBE THAT'S JUST DIRECTION WE NEED IS TO HAVE THE COUNTY MANAGER MOVE THAT THROUGH HUMAN RESOURCES FOR MAYBE SHE CAN DO A SALARY LOOK AND THEN, ALSO, DO OBVIOUSLY WE'VE GOT TO HAVE A JOB DESCRIPTION BEFORE KE WITH EVEN CONTEMPLATE LOOKING.
MAYBE GET THAT DONE BEFORE WE GET TO A POINT WHERE WE'RE DOING AN RFP.
>> THEORETICALLY IF WE GO THROUGH AN RFP HIRE SOMEBODY FROM THE OUTSIDE.
PERSON IS WORTH THE SALT HE'S GOING TO SAVE US THE MONEY WE SPENT ON RFP IN THE FIRST COUPLE
OF THREE YEARS HOPEFULLY. >> PUT THAT IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION.
I'VE DONE THAT. SAVE YOUR SALARY IN A YEAR. THAT'S THE WAY A LOT OF PLACES
WORK. >> WE HAVE A MOTION. WOULD YOU RESTATE THE MOTION.
>> MY MOTION WAS WE DO AN RFQ OR WHATEVER IT IS. WHEN WE GO OUT TO SEE WHO IS
[03:00:02]
AVAILABLE AND GET A PRICE ON WHAT IT WOULD COST TO HIRE A COUNTY AUDITOR POSITION THAT THE COUNTY MANAGER IS GOING TO WORK WITH PERSONNEL TO COME UP WITH A JOB DESCRIPTION ON.POSSIBLY EVEN ADVERTISE IT AHEAD OF TIME IF THAT'S WHAT WE FEEL LIKE WE OUGHT TO DO.
>> YOU SECOND THAT? >> YEAH. >> OKAY.
OPPOSED? SO DONE. >>>MOVING ONTO ITEM EIGHT.
>>>MR. CHAIRMAN. >> YES. >> RECOGNIZING.
>> BEFORE YOU MOVE OFF. >> THE RESOLUTION AND THE PLAQUE.
>> I AM SO SORRY. YEAH. SINCE WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT MIKE'S POSITION FOR THE LAST 30 MINUTES I JUST WANT TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW WE TOOK THE LIBERTY TO DRAFT A VERY BEAUTIFUL RESOLUTION HONORING MIKE PRICE'S TEN YEAR SERVICE IN THE COUNTY. AND EQUALLY BEAUTIFUL PLAQUE. THIS WON'T GET HIM ON THE BOAT TO TOUR THE CARIBBEAN BUT LET HIM KNOW OUR HEARTS ARE IN THE RIGHT SPOT.
HE COULD NOT BE HERE TONIGHT. I'LL HOLD THIS AND MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO GET MIKE WITH US NEXT TIME EVEN IF I HAVE TO BUY HIM DINNER. WE LOOK FORWARD TO THAT.
>> MAYBE WAIT UNTIL AFTER. >> ALL RIGHT. >> HE'S BEEN OUTSTANDING.
>> HE HAD. WE'LL BE LUCKY TO FIND SOMEBODY TO EVEN EQUAL HIM MUCH LESSOUT DO HIM. I'M NOT SURE THAT'S POSSIBLE. DID I SAY EVERYTHING OKAY?
ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THAT? MOVING ONTO ITEM EIGHT. >> EXCEPT MAYBE BUYING HIM
[8. RFP #19/20-36, Develop a Mobility Plan and Convert an Impact Fee to a Mobility Fee]
DINNER. >>>MR. REESE. TELL US ABOUT RFP19/20-36.
>> JUST QUICKLY. WE'LL HAVE DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS BUT THIS IS RFP FOR THE APPROVAL OF OUR MOBILITY PLAN AND CONVERT TO IMPACT FEE. SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING YOU TO DO WITH ITEM EIGHT IS AWARD THAT TO THE NUMBER ONE RANKED FIRM GANET FLEMING AT A COST OF $121,951.
ASKING FOR APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT TO GET STARTED WITH THE WORK AND WE'RE ASKING FOR A BUDGET TRANSFER IN THE AMOUNT OF $44,000 BECAUSE ALL OF THESE WERE WAY OVER THE BUDGET AMOUNT THAT WE ANTICIPATED FOR THIS. THERE'S OUR THREE ASK AND ONE FAIL SWOOP.
>> FOR THE SAKE OF UNWASHED TELL US WHAT THIS IS AND WHY ARE WE DOING?
>> THIS IS THE MOBILITY FEE. PART OF THE CONVERSATION WE HAD LAST YEAR WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT CHANGING AND WE DID. CHANGING OUR IMPACT FEE.
PART OF THAT DISCUSSION AND ED MIGHT HAVE TO HELP ME WITH THE VERBAGE BUT PART OF THAT WAS WE CAN GO AHEAD AND EDIT THE IMPACT FEE BUT WHAT WE DO WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR IS DO A MOBILITY FEE STUDY. THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE IN FRONT OF YOU.
THAT'S WHOO THIS COMPANY WILL DO. >> WHY ARE WE DOING IT?
>>>AUGUST 27, 2019, THE BOARD ADOPTED COMP PLAN AMENDMENTS WHICH BASICALLY REPLACED IMPACT FEES WITH MOBILITY POLICY 4.2.1 OF THE TRPG ELEMENT SAYS THE IMPACT FEE ORDNANCE CURRENTLY IN EFFECT AT THAT TIME IS INCORPORATED HERE IN, ADOPTED WITHIN THE COMP PLAN. IN OTHER WORDS, IN ORDER TO MAKE D-O-T HAPPY WE ADOPTED WITHIN THE TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT. ALL ELEMENTS SUBJECT TO THE IMPACT FEE ORDNANCE UNTIL THE MOBILITY FEE ORDNANCE IS DEVELOPED AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NO LATER THAN OCTOBER 2020. THEN 4.2 HNT 2 BY OCTOBER 1ST, 2020, THE COUNTY SHOULD ADOPT A MOBILITY FUNDING FEE SYSTEM BY ORDNANCE CONSISTENT WITH SECTION 163.31805I FLORIDA STATUTES.
WE ARE TRYING TO AFFECT THE POLICIES ADOPTED BY THE BOARD LAST YEAR.
>> THAT'S WHY. >> ED, YOU'RE A LOT SMARTER THAN AM.
TELL ME AGAIN. I KNOW, OKAY. TELL ME WHAT THIS IS GOING TO
DO? >> WHAT THIS DOES IS WHEN YOU, PART OF THE AGREEMENT TO RAISE THE IMPACT FEES WAS TO DO AWAY WITH FAIR SHARE. WE DID AWAY WITH FAIR SHARE.
BUT FLORIDA STATUTE SAYS IF YOU DO AWAY WITH FAIR SHARE YOU HAVE TO DO A MOBILITY FEE.
WUKS WE DID AWAY WITH THAT WE ADOPTED THE IMPACT FEE, KIND OF, AS HYBRID BUT AGREED TO ADOPT A
[03:05:01]
MOBILITY FEE CONSISTENT WITH A MOBILITY PLAN OCTOBER 1ST OF THIS YEAR.SO THIS WAS TO GET RID OF POP SHARE. WE HAD TO ADOPT THE MOBILITY
FEE. >> SO WHAT CAN WE DO WITH THE MOBILITY FEE WE CAN'T DO
WITH AN IMPACT FEE? >> MOBILITY FEE WILL HELP TO PAY FOR MORE THAN JUST ROADS.
RIGHT NOW THE IMPACT FEE PAYS FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENTS. WHAT A MOBILITY FEE ACCOUNTS FOR ARE PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS, BICYCLE IMPROVEMENTS, TRANSIT IMPROVEMENTS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
THE DISCUSSION LAST YEAR AND I KIND OF SAID IT AT THE MEETING. IN CLAY COUNTY MOBILITY IS THE SINGLE OCCUPANT AUTOMOBILE. WE HAVE VERY LITTLE PEOPLE USING BICYCLES TO COMMUTE, PEDESTRIAN PATHS TO COMMUTE AND TRANSIT TO COMMUTE. AS CLAY COUNTY DEVELOPS THAT MIGHT CHANGE. SO THE MOBILITY FEE IS TO ADOPT A PLAN TO GENERATE REVENUE FOR MORE THAN JUST ROADS. THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT A MOBILITY FEE IS.
>> STILL AT THE DISCRETION OF THE BBC. >> DEFINITELY.
>> OKAY. >> WILL IT BE LIKE, WILL I KNOW AS A MOBILITY PLAN FROM SEVEN OR EIGHT YEARS AGO WHICH IS YOU INSENT PEOPLE TO MOVE TO CERTAIN AREAS WHERE THERE'S
INFRASTRUCTURE. >> THAT COULD BE PART OF IT. ONLY TO DISTINGUISH WHERE A REVENUE STREAM WOULD BE DIFFERENT IN MOBILITY AREAS. MOBILITY DISTRICTS.
I THINK WE'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE THEY HAVE A MOBILITY PLAN.
THEY HAVE LIKE ELEVEN DISTRICTS. THEY CHARGE A DIFFERENT FEE IN EACH DISTRICT.
IT'S BASED WHERE DO YOU WANT GROWTH TO OCCUR? THAT'S KIND OF WHAT IS SET UP.
THAT'S WHAT THE CONSULTANT WILL NEED TO LOOK AT. LOOKING AT IT WITH THE IMPUT
FROM STAFF. WE'LL HAVE A LOT OF INPUT. >> AS I RECALL WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTY THAT ALREADY HAD INFRASTRUCTURE TO DEVELOP AND THAT'S WHY WE DIDN'T
ADOPT IT IN THE PAST. >> THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO LOOK AT IT.
>> OKAY. >> WE HAVEN'T DONE WHAT WE DID TO MOVE TO THE MOBILITY FEE AND HAVE A STUDY. WE HAVE DONE ANOTHER IMPACT FEE STUDY THIS YEAR.
>> EVERY THREE YEARS. >> OUR TRANSIT SITUATION, I KNOW IT'S NOT A POPULAR TOPIC BUT WE'RE SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY RIGHT NOW ON BUSES AND THIS WAY WE CAN WORK IT SO IT CAN SERVE MORE PEOPLE AND EXPAND THE ROUTES AND HAVE A MEANS TO FUND IT, WHICH WE DON'T REALLY
HAVE NOW OTHER THAN TAKING IT OUT OF THE HIDE. >> I THINK ONE OF THE REASONS FLEMING THE NUMBER ONE CONSULTANT THEY WORK WITH JTA AND THEY GOT A VERY GOOD REFERENCE FROM JTA. THAT WENT INTO THE SELECTION COMMITTEE'S THINKING.
THEY HAVE THE BACKGROUND TO DEAL WITH NOT ONLY JTA BUT THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE BUT THE CONSULTANT FOR JACKSONVILLE UPDATE FOR THEIR FEES. THEY'LL BE A GOOD FIRM TO DO THE
JOB. >> GANET WAS LOW BID? >> LOW BID.
>> I'LL MOVE APPROVAL. >> DO TWO. YOU HAVE TO MOVE THE FUNDS TO
COVER THAT, TOO. >> NO WAIVING. >> ACCEPT THE STAFFS RANKING? APPROVAL. APPROVAL OF THE CONTRACT AND
APPROVAL OF THE TRANSFER. >> I MOVE WE ACCEPT THE STAFF'S RANKING OF THE BIDS.
AND APPROVE GANET. >> SECOND. >> AND THE BUDGET TRANSFER?
>> WE HAVE TO DO THREE. >> YOU CAN DO THEM ALL TOGETHER.
>> OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT THING IS THE BUDGET TRANSFER, I'LL MOVE WE APPROPRIATE AN ADDITIONAL $44,000 FOR THE BUDGET TRANSFER.
AND FINALLY, WHAT'S THE THIRD ONE? >> APPROVE THE AGREEMENT.
>> I MOVE WE APPROVE THE AGREEMENT. >> SECOND.
>> FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? OPPOSED?

THE ST. JOHNS RIVER STATE COLLEGE FOLKS ARE HERE SO THEY WOULD LIKE TO SAY A FEW WORDS,

COME ON UP YOUNG LADY. >> THOSE FACE MASKS THREW ME OFF.
I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE YOU GUYS. >> ONLY THE EYES. >>>GOOD EVENING MR. CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSIONERS. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. I AM CAROLINE TINGLE THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR DEVELOPMENT AND DIRECTOR OF CLAY COUNTY COMMUNITY RELATIONS AT THE COLLEGE. THEN WE HAVE ANN THAT ZERBEL THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.
EVERY TWO YEARS WHEN WE COME BEFORE THIS BOARD WE MAKE A POINT TO BE HERE.
ON BEHALF OF OUR PRESIDENT AND OUR DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES CHAIRMAN WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED COMMITMENT AND YOUR SUPPORT OF OUR CENTER. QUIET FRANKLY SINCE DAY ONE, I THINK THIS PARTNERSHIP HAS REALLY SHAPED WHO WE ARE TODAY AND I CERTAINLY THINK IT WILL HELP US CONTINUE TO BUILD THE THRASHER HORN TO WHERE WE WANT IT TO BE. I ASKED ANNA TO JOIN US BECAUSE THE CENTER IS OPEN. WHILE WE MODIFIED THE OPERATION AND SCALED BACK THE SERVICES WE'RE PROVIDING, WE JUST WANTED TO BE HERE TO SEE IF ANYONE HAD QUESTIONS.
MORE IMPORTANTLY TO GIVE YOU THAT ASSURANCE WE ARE ABIDING BY BOTH STATE REGULATIONS WITH THE GOVERNOR'S PHASE TWO PLAN, AS WELL AS, FOLLOWING THE CDC GUIDELINES AND THEN, ALSO, THE EVENT SAFETY ALLIANCE HAS FACTORED IN FOR US. IN ADDITION TO OPERATING AT A 50% CAPACITY, WE HAVE VERY STRICT SANITIZATION PROTOCOLS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING AND THE REQUIREMENT OF ALL FACE MASKS FOR PEOPLE THAT COME INTO THE CENTER.
THERE'S GOOD THINGS TO COME. AGAIN, WE'RE TRULY COMMITTED TO BUILDING THE BEST CULTURAL ARTS CENTER WE CAN PROVIDE. WE ARE SUCH PROUD, YOU KNOW, EMPLOYEES AT THE CENTER AND WE
JUST LOOK FORWARD TO GOOD THINGS TO COME. >> THANK YOU.
>> QUICK QUESTION. WHAT'S THE STATUS OF PERFORMANCES AND EVENTS COMING
IN? >> I'LL TELL YOU ABOUT THAT.
RIGHT NOW WE ARE JUST WORKING ON COMMUNITY RENTAL EVENTS. THINGS LIKE GRADUATIONS, DANCE RECITALS, EVENTS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO HELP THEM GET UP ON THEIR FEET AND GET START AGAIN.
FOR OUR PERFORMANCES THAT WE ARE GOING TO PRESENT, WE PROBABLY WON'T HAVE ANYTHING UNTIL THE BEGINNING OF JANUARY OF 2021. BUT THAT'LL GIVE US TIME. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE TOURS THEMSELVES GETTING UP AND RUNNING AND HAVING ENOUGH STOPS TO BE ABLE TO PUT THEMSELVES ON
THE ROAD. >> VERY GOOD. THANK YOU.

[10. Supplemental Agreement No. 3 to Masters Pit Maintenance Building Agreement #2018/19-70]
[11. Bid #19/20-43, Installation of Extractor Laundry Equipment at Clay County Fire Station 11 (REBID)]
>>>THANK YOU. ITEM TEN SUPPLEMENT AGREEMENT. BUILDING AGREEMENT.
JOHN. JIM, GO AHEAD. >> IT'S BEEN A LONG EVENING.
>> WHOEVER YOU ARE. >> YES. WE'RE REQUESTING APPROVAL OF THIS SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT BETTER KNOWN AS A CHANGE ORDER TO CONTRACT 181970 WITH BAILEY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF MASTERS PIT. THIS CHANGE ORDER WILL PAY FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE TECHNOLOGIES PACKAGE WHICH INCLUDES THE CONDUITS RUNNING OUT FROM THE BUILDING FOR FIBEROPTICS. THE SERVER, THE CAP FIVE CABLE, IT'S GOT DOORS AND WIRING ALLOWING US TO USE THE ACCESS CARDS FOR SECURITY.
BASICALLY, THE, AGAIN, THE TECHNOLOGY PACKAGE FOR SECURITY AND DATA FOR THIS BUILDING.
IT'S THE AMOUNT OF $44,595 AND IN THE BUDGET FOR THIS PROJECT. >> WHY DIDN'T WE SEE IT
BEFORE? >> YES, SIR. I KNEW THAT WAS COMING UP.
WE WEREN'T SETTLED ON EXACTLY WHAT OUR TECHNOLOGIES PACKAGE FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION WAS GOING TO LOOK LIKE GOING FORWARD. WE FIGURED WE WOULD CATCH UP AND GET THIS PROJECT BID OUT.
I DID NEGOTIATE THIS CHANGE ORDER DOWN TO SAVE A COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS ON IT.
I FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE FIGURES THAT HAVE COME IN. IF WE'RE GOING TO USE THIS TYPE OF DATA, WHICH HAS BEEN OUR INTENT NOW FOR ALL NEW CONSTRUCTION TO HAVE THIS CAPABILITY FOR DATA. WE'RE PUTTING IN THE MASS NOTIFICATION SYSTEMS FOR SPEAKERS. BASICALLY, A MODERNIZED BUILDING.
[03:15:02]
>> I DON'T KNOW IF THAT REALLY IS A GOOD ANSWER BUT IT'S AN ANSWER.
OKAY. I MEAN, THE REASON I HARP ON THIS IS WHEN YOU DON'T PUT THE THING IN THE BEGINNING YOU DON'T GET THE BEST PRICE. WHEN YOU START PUTTING CHANGE
ORDERS IN YOU REALLY OPEN YOURSELF UP. >> WE CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THAT'S WHERE THE CONTRACTORS TRY TO MAKE UP DIFFERENCES. THAT'S WHY WE TOOK THE FIRST
REQUEST BACK AND RENEGOTIATED DOWN SOME. >> RIGHT.
>> THE GOOD THING ABOUT DOING THIS BUILDING IS WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE JUST LIKE IT IN LINE FOR KNOLLS. WE HAVE CAPTURED ALL THE DETAILS FOR WHAT THIS ONE WILL NEED MOVING FORWARD AND SUBSEQUENT CONSTRUCTION IS JUST GOING TO BE THE NUMBER OF FIXTURES RATHER THAN WHAT THIS PACKAGE THAT WE INTEND TO PUT IN THE BUILDINGS WILL LOOK LIKE.
WE JUST WEREN'T SETTLED ON WHAT WE NEEDED AND WANTED TO GET THIS ONE STARTED.
WE HAD AN UPDATE FROM THIS MORNING THEY ARE LAYING BLOCKS. YOU HAVE A BUILDING COMING OUT
OF THE GROUND. IT'S ABOUT CHEST HIGH ON ME. >> I THOUGHT IT WAS A PIT.
HOW IS IT COMING OUT OF THE GROUND? >> THAT'S ANOTHER STORY.
ALSO IN THIS ONE, THERE'S A TIME EXTENSION REQUESTED DUE TO LONG LEAD TIMES ON SOME OF THESE ITEMS LIKE THE SPECIAL DOOR FRAME AND DOORS. WE HAVE TO ALLOW THE CONTRACTOR MORE TIME, IF NECESSARY. WE COULD STILL MATCH THE ORIGINAL COMPLETION DATE.
>> I MOVE APPROVAL. >> SECOND. >> MOTION AND SECOND ALL IN
FAVOR? OPPOSED? >> I'VE GOT THE NEXT ONE AS WELL. THIS IS APPROVAL TO POST NOTICE INTENT TO AWARD THE BID NUMBER 1920-43. THE EXTRACTORS AT STATION ELEVEN WE'VE BEEN WAITING ON.
AS YOU MAY RECALL WE PUT OUT A BID PREVIOUSLY. I ONLY RECEIVED ONE IN ORDER TO MAYBE RECEIVE A MORE COMPETITIVE BID WE PUT IT OUT AGAIN. SAME RESULTS.
ONE BIDDER. BEST THING I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS ONE IS THAT WE END UP SAVING ALMOST 17 THOUSAND ON THE SECOND ROUND. THE LOWEST BIDDER IN THIS CASE
WAS AGAIN CHARLES PERRY PARTNERS $69,729. >> WHAT DOES AN EXTRACTOR
DO? >> IT'S BASICALLY A GOOD NIGHT LAUNDRY SYSTEM FOR BERNGER GEAR FOR THE FIREFIGHTERS. AS A SIDE NOTE THIS IS CONSIDERED A SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUE. WE RECOMMEND PUSHING THIS ONE ON.
WE REACHED OUT TO PROBABLY TWETY OR THIRTY FOLKS. BOTH BIDS.
THE LAST BID MEETING FIVE FOLKS SHOWED UP BUT WE ONLY RECEIVED ONE BID BACK.
>> THAT WAS TOO HIGH SO THEY REBID IT AGAIN, WHICH IS FRUSTRATING THAT IT'S SO EXPENSIVE. BASICALLY, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO TAKE YOUR BUNKER GEAR AND TRY TO GET IT CLEANED AT A DIFFERENT STATION AND BE ON DUTY AFTER A FIRE AND ALL THAT.
IF YOU DON'T GET IT CLEANED THEN THE CARCINOGENS IN THE BUNKER GEAR HAVE A TENDENCY TO EXPOSE
OUR FIREFIGHTERS TO THOSE CHEMICALS AND CAN BE A HAZARD. >> I GUESS WHERE I WAS TRYING TO EXPLORE WOULD IT BE BETTER TO HAVE ONE CENTRAL FACILITY AND RUNNERS RUNNING THE STUFF BACK AND FORTH? WE'RE GOING TO SPEND, A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, $200,000 AT EVERY FIRE STATION OPPOSED TO HALF A MILLION BUCKS AT ONE PLACE AND BUY A TRUCK.
>> THERE'S ONE INS ABURY. THE CHALLENGE IS KEYSTONE BECAUSE OF HOW ISOLATED KEYSTONE IS FROM THAT. UNLESS YOU HAVE SEVERAL SETS OF GEAR.
SAY YOU'RE A FIREFIGHTER AND GO OUT AND GO TO A FIRE. >> I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU
CHIEF. >> THERE HE IS. >> WHAT'S THE PLAN?
>> WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE WITH THIS IS AS NEW STATIONS ARE CONSTRUCTED AND WE SERGE HAVE IT IN THE CARES PACKAGE TO LOOK AT USING EXTRACTORS TO REDUCE IT.
IT NOT ONLY WILL REDUCE KOR SIN JENS OUT OF THE TURNOUT GEAR AND HAVE A SHORTER TURN AROUND TIME TO GET THE GEAR BACK INTO SERVICE. IF WE HAVE CENTRALIZED FACILITIES THE TIME IT TAKES TO TRANSPORT IN TO WASH THE GEAR AND THEN RETURN IT TO LOCATIONS PUTS THOSE UNITS OUT OF SERVICE. WE HAVE TO HAVE MULTIPLE SETS OF GEAR NOW TO DO THE THIS.
SO IT'S A LONG TERM EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY IS A SCALE TO PUT MORE EXTRACTORS IN MORE LOCATION AND REDUCE THE TURN AROUND TIME. WHAT WE'VE SEEN NOW IS THIS IS GOING TO BE THE NEW FACE OF THE FIRE SERVICE. HOW WE CARRY THE GEAR WILL BE DIFFERENT.
THE ABILITY TO CLEAN THE GEAR UPON EVERY RESPONSE WILL BE PART OF IT AND IT'S KIND OF A NEW
NORMAL WE'RE GOING TO BE EXPERIENCING. >> LIKE SOME DEPARTMENTS HAVE TWO SETS OF GEAR BUT THAT'S A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE TO DO TWO SETS OF GEAR ACROSS THE BOARD.
>> WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT, TOO. THOSE ARE OPTIONS.
>> WE'VE ANALYZED THIS AND THIS IS OUR BEST ALTERNATIVE. >> I THINK THIS IS GOING TO
[03:20:04]
BE VERY COMMON ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN THE SERVICE TODAY. IT'S THE NEW REALITY OF DEALING WITH THE REALIZATION THAT FOR YEARS MANY HAVE EVEN MY COME PADRES AND FIREFIGHTERS BEFORE ME HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING INCREASE CANCERS. AS A RESULT OF THE CARCINOGENS NOW PRESENT IN MOST SYNTHETIC MATERIALS IN OUR HOME AND WE LOOK AT THIS ROOM.WHEN WE HAVE FIRES THAT IMPREGNATES INTO THE TURNOUT GEAR AND IMPREGNATES INTO THE SKIN. UNLESS THAT'S IMMEDIATELY REDUCED WE HAVE A HIGHER RISK OF CANCERS TO OUR PERSONNEL. WE ARE UNFORTUNATELY EXPERIENCING ANOTHER MEMBER RIGHT NOW THAT HAS SKIN CANCER AS A RESULT OF, WE BELIEVE, THE EXPOSURE RELATED BACK TO THE CANCER PRESUBJECTS PACKAGE RECENTLY PASSED. WE WANT TO ENSURE WE CAN PUT
PROCEDURES AND POLICIES IN PLACE REDUCING THAT FOR THE FUTURE. >> PUTTING A FACILITY IN
EVERY FIRE STATION IS THE CHEAPEST WAY TO ACCOMPLISH THIS? >> I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE CHEAPEST WAY. IT IS THE WAY THAT WILL ENSURE WE CAN BEST PROTECT OUR
FIREFIGHTERS. >> I MEAN, THERE'S A FEW THINGS IF I MAY ADD.
I KNOW WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM COMMISSIONER. I THINK THIS IS A UNIQUE SITUATION. IT'S A NEW FIRE STATION THAT THE EXTRACTOR, THE PLUMBING, THE ELECTRICITY, THE LOCATION FOR IT WAS NOT THOUGHT IN THE DESIGN PLAN IS THE BOTTOM LINE.
THAT'S WHY THE AMOUNT IS IS SO HIGH. I THINK, JAMES YOU HAVE A BREAK DOWN, CORRECT, OF THE QUOTE. I THINK WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS. WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT LIKE A HEAVY DUTY WASHING MACHINE, RIGHT? A WASHING MACHINE ON STEROIDS SO IT CAN HANDLE THE GEAR OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. WHEN YOU TAKE IN THAT CONSIDERATION HAVING IT JUST LIKE YOU HAVE YOUR OWN WASHER AND DRIER AT YOUR HOUSE. YOU DON'T TAKE EVERYBODY'S CLOTHES AND GO DOWN TO THE CENTRAL LAUNDRY FACILITY. IT'S A CONVENIENCE THAT'S NEEDED AND THERE IS WHAT THE CHIEF IS GETTING AT. THE SECOND THING WOULD BE TO TAKE TIME OUT AND TO SET UP A SCHEDULE OF DELIVERY OF THIS GEAR AND TO GET IT THERE.
YOU'RE RELYING ON THE FACT IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE FIRES THROUGHOUT THE DAY OR THE WEEK YOU CAN OBVIOUSLY OVERLOAD THAT CENTRAL FACILITY WOULD BE THE OTHER THING.
I THINK GOING BACK TO SQUARE ONE, LOOKING AT THE COST OF THIS, CAN YOU BREAK DOWN THE
COST JAMES? >> IT'S INTERESTING. THE EQUIPMENT IS RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE. WE'RE TALKING 16 TO 20 SOMETHING THOUSAND DOLLARS.
IT'S REALLY THE REWORK OF AN EXISTING FACILITY. IF WE WERE DOING THIS NEW CONSTRUCTION WE WOULD HAVE DESIGNED THIS. WE ARE USING A SHED WAS THE INITIAL DESIGN. WE HAD TO MODIFY THE SLAB. GO IN AND TAP INTO ELECTRICAL THAT WASN'T PLANNED SO THERE'S ELECTRICAL, A VENTILATION HAS TO BE PLANNED IN THERE.
SOME OF THE LARGER COSTS ARE THE LIFT STATION AND THEN EXCAVATING THROUGH EXISTING LINES AND CUTTING ACROSS THE PARKING LOT AND TAPPING INTO A MANHOLE FOR THE DRAINAGE.
ALL THOSE COASTS WOULD PROBABLY REDUCE SIGNIFICANTLY IF IT WAS NEW CONSTRUCTION.
I BELIEVE THAT'S WHY WE HAD SUCH A TIME, THE EXTRACTOR FOLKS SOME SUBS LOOKED AT IT GCS LOOK AT IT, GENERAL CONTRACTORS BUT THEY WEREN'T FAMILIAR WITH EXTRACTORS.
THEY THROUGH BIG NUMBERS OUT BECAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE A COMPLEX JOB TO REMODEL THIS BUILDING TO PUT THIS STUFF IN. I WOULD JUST HAVE TO GUESS WE WOULDN'T SEE LOWER COST FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION. THIS IS CERTAINLY IN LINE WITH WHAT I'VE BEEN KEEPING IN LINE, AN EYE ON FOR NATIONAL INCENTIVES FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
IT SEEMED LIKE AFTER 9/11 IT STARTED, THEY NOTICED THE CANCERS.
ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS STATION ELEVEN INCLUDES IS EXHAUST SYSTEMS. THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO GET IN LINE WITH INITIATIVES TO WATCH OUT FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT MAY LEAD TO WHY THERE'S INCREASE NUMBERS OF CANCERS FOR THESE FOLKS.
>>>I MOVE APPROVAL. >>>SECOND. >> FURTHER DISCUSSION?
>> I THINK ALSO IT'S A UNIQUE SITUATION BECAUSE IT'S IN KEYSTONE.
IT'S SO FAR AWAY FROM ANYTHING ELSE. IF YOU HAVE A CENTRAL LOCATION YOU'RE SPENDING CONSIDERABLE TIME GETTING THINGS BACK AND FORTH.
THAT'S GOING TO TIE UP STAFF AND ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT. >> THAT'S THE CHALLENGE.
WE TALKED A LOT OF DIFFERENT SOLUTION AND IDEAS AND THOUGHTS BECAUSE OF THE ONE IN LAKE ASBURY. I SAID THE SAME THINGS DO IT THIS WAY OR THAT WAY.
THE CHALLENGES THAT YOU'RE TAKING A TEAM OFFLINE ESSENTIALLY IN DOING THAT.
OR YOU HAVE TO DO ALL NEW EQUIPMENT, DOUBLE SETS OF EQUIPMENT ACROSS THE BOARD.
[03:25:02]
IT'S THE ONLY OTHER WAY. IF YOU ROTATE CREWS IN THERE'S OTHER CHALLENGES WITH THAT.>> DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING? >> YES. >> WE FORGOT TO ASK FOR THE BUDGET RESOLUTION THAT GOES OR BUDGET AMENDMENT TO CIP FUNDS THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE TRANSFERRED IN THE AMOUNT OF $769. I MOVE APPROVAL OF THE BUDGET TRANSFER OF CIP IN THE $123,789 ALONG WITH THE OVERALL ITEM OF NUMBER ELEVEN TO AWARD THE BID
AND INSTALL THE EXTRACTOR EQUIPMENT AT STATION ELEVEN. >> SECOND?
>> I SECOND IT AGAIN. >> YOU DID? >> I DID IT ONCE.
I'LL SECOND AGAIN. >> OKAY. >> ALL IN FAVOR?
OPPOSED? SO DONE. >>>LET ME TAKE A PRIVILEGE OF THE CHAIR FOR A MOMENT AND BRAKE OUT OF OUR SCHEDULED NEXT ITEM. I LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PRESENCE OF OUR CONSTITUTIONALS AND YOU'VE SAT BACK THERE PATIENTLY.
NOW IS THE TIME IF YOU NEED TO TALK TO US OR MAKE A STATEMENT COME UP HERE.
>> NO, SIR I'M GOOD. >> YOU MUST HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO.
>> I THINK SHE'S HERE FOR ITEM 13. >> OH.
ARE YOU HERE FOR ITEM 13? >> YES, SIR. >> I WAS A LITTLE AHEAD OF

MY TIME. ITEM 12 RESOLUTION AMENDMENT. >> LOST CIP AND INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE MEETINGS WE WERE TASKED WITH BRINGING BACK TO YOU THE CERTAIN PROJECTS FOR REVIEW AND REALLOCATIONS AFTER THE BIDS FOR THE TOWER OF GRADES WERE RECEIVED. NOW I'M HERE TO PRESENT THE BUDGET RESOLUTION AND UPDATE TO THE NONCIE PORTION OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND NECESSARY BUDGET TRANSFERS TO ACCOMMODATE IT. WE RECEIVED THE BIDS FOR THE TOWER UPGRADES PROJECT AND THE STAFF IS REQUESTING TO TAKE THE 800 MEGA HERTZ BUDGET OF FOUR MILLION AND REALLOCATE 1.750 TO THE RADIO TOWER UPGRADE AND ESTABLISH DIVISION 6109 FOR THAT PROJECT.
AND THE REMAINDER OF THE BUDGET OF $2,475,867 TO ALLOCATE TO A NEW DIVISION 6110 THE 911
CONSOLIDATION PLAN. >> IS THAT ALL? >> AND IT'S ALSO INCLUDED THE UPDATES FOR THE TABLE OF OUR CIP RESOLUTION AND PLAN FOR THE STATION ELEVEN YOU JUST
APPROVED. >> OKAY. >> THAT'S THE THREE CHANGES
TO OUR CIP PLAN. >> ALL RIGHT. COUNTY MANAGER DO YOU HAVE
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD TO THAT? >> NO, SIR.
I THINK, AGAIN, IT WAS THE BOARDS DIRECTION THAT ON JUNE 23RD THAT THE 8 HUNDRED MEGA HERTZ FUNDING LINE BE SPLIT OUT APPROPRIATELY. WE NEEDED TO GET THE BID IN TIME. WE DID GET THE BID. IT WAS THE DAY OF FINANCE AND AUDIT AND IT WAS OPENED UP. SO WE KNOW WHAT THE NUMBER IS NOW FOR THE RADIO TOWERS AND THAT. I CAN MAKE AN ADD TO THAT AND I THINK TROY WILL BACK ME UP.
TROY DOES NOT HAVE AN EXACT NUMBER FOR THE E911 CONSOLIDATION.
AN APPROXIMATE NUMBER I BELIEVE IS FIVE MILLION. SO EVEN THOUGH THIS NEW FUNDING LINE IS 6110 FOR ALMOST JUST 2.475 MILLION IS STILL NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH FOR THAT COMPLETE E911 CONSOLIDATION. AGAIN, PLEASURE OF THE BOARD. THE TASK AT HAND.
IT WAS SPLIT AND THAT WAS THAT. >> CONSOLIDATION IS COVID-19 RELATED?
>> I DON'T THINK SO. >> STILL WORKING UNDER BLUE AND WHITE.

THE STAFF AND THE COUNTY MANAGER REVIEWED THE INITIAL REQUEST AND WE WERE ABLE TO ENSURE THAT WE ADDRESSING ALL THE NEEDS BUT ALSO, WE'RE ABLE TO FIND THE FUNDING IN OUR EXISTING BUDGET INSTEAD OF USING THE RESERVES MONEY. AND THE RESULT OF IT IS THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF $114,542 TO TRANSFER TO MOVE INTO THE ACCOUNTS WHERE THE CLERK WILL BE ABLE TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY TO
>> MAYBE YOU CAN EXPLAIN WHAT THAT MONEY IS GOING TO BE? >> YES, SIR.
IT'S A TOTAL OF FOUR PERSONNEL. ONE OF WHICH IS ALREADY AMY'S POSITION.
ANOTHER IS A SENIOR STAFF ACCOUNTANT. THEN TWO CLERKS OR TWO AS MINUTE STRAYTIVE PERSONNEL ALSO TO HELP OUT. THE ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL WOULDN'T COME ON UNTIL APPROXIMATELY SEPTEMBER. THERE WERE SAVINGS.
I WORKED WITH HONORABLE TERRY GREEN TO FIND THE EXACT NUMBER WE COULD GET TO.
THE EQUIPMENT SIDE OF IT ALSO WE LOOKED AT THAT AND SOME OF THOSE EQUIPMENTS THAT SHE HAD IN HER BUDGET REQUEST WERE COVERED IN A PREVIOUS BOARD MEETING IN THE 150 THOUSAND FOR GETTING THE FACILITY READY. THERE'S OTHER ASPECTS TO THE MOVE, TOO, WITH REGARDS TO THE SECOND DECK OR THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE COURTHOUSE. I'VE BEEN WORKING BOTH WITH TARA AND JUDGE LESTER TO COME UP WITH A PLAN THERE AND TO HOPEFULLY AVERT COSTS FOR THE BOARD BUT USED FROM ANOTHER FUNDING SOURCE TO BUILD OUT A COURTROOM AND THEN ALSO BUILD OUT SPACES FOR CLERK TO USE THAT WOULD CAPITALIZE ON THAT, ALSO. THERE'S A LOT OF THIS AND A LOT OF PARTS THAT AREN'T SEEN THAT ARE MOVING BUT BACK TO THIS HERE.
THIS WAS FOR AMENDMENT TEN AND THE SUCCESS. IT WAS LOOKING AT THIS LAST QUARTER FROM JULY TO THE END OF SEPTEMBER AND THAT'S WHAT THESE PERSONNEL COSTS AND EQUIPMENT
COSTS WOULD BE. >> THANK YOU. >> TARA YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD TO THIS PRESENTATION?

THERE'S TOO MUCH BEING PUSHED THROUGH THE AGENDA, AS USUAL. THE BINDINGS ONLY 5% DIFFERENCE BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE BID THERE'S AT LEAST 15% OFF OR BETTER.
YOU CAN LOOK AT TODAY'S MEETING, FOR EXAMPLE. THE ROADS NEED TO GO TO $8,500 IMPACT FEE. I AGREE UNKNOWN TIMES KEEPING PEOPLE SAFE AND THE WET BLANKET THING. WE NEED THE SECOND EMERGENCY CASE EVENT IT TAKES OUT THAT CENTER SO LIKE IN MIDDLEBURG OR SOMEWHERE ELSE. WE DON'T NEED TO INVEST EVERYTHING IN ONE AREA. THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT CENTER EVEN SAID THAT HAVING A SECOND LOCATION WOULD BE BETTER IN CASE IT GETS KNOCKED OUT. A GOOD SLOW GROWTH NOT A BAD FAST GROWTH. BUILDERS SHOULD BE TAXED AN EXTRA $2,000 ON THE IMPACT FEES.
THAT WOULD BE A GOOD THING TO LOOK AT. AMEN TO THE CENTER IN THE MEETING ROOM. AMEN. THE FAIR SHARE LOOKS LIKE IT'S CAUSING MORE ISSUES, HEARTBURN WITH THE COUNTY. RIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE, FOR THE
[03:45:07]
COUNTY AND THE PEOPLE. BUT THE RIOTS CAN WE GET INPUT ON THE RIOTS? WE LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT THAT. IT'S A BAD CRIME SHOW GOING ON. WE HAVE STEWART THAT IS SICKCOUGHING ALL OVER THE PLACE. >> CUT HIM OFF. THANK YOU.

A COUPLE OF PRESENTATIONS AND PRESENTERS LOOKING AT THE PICTURES.
A PIO WAS TAKING PICTURES OFF THE TV SCREEN TODAY. HOPEFULLY WE GET THE BIG ONES AND THEN WE'LL GET POPCORN AND MOVIE MAYBE ON SATURDAY MORNING. YOU NEVER KNOW.
IT WAS ALL IN EFFORT TO MAKE THE MEETINGS A LITTLE BIT MORE EFFECTIVE SO PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE CAN SEE SOME OF THE PRESENTATIONS THAT DIFFERENT SPEAKER AND EVENTS HAPPEN.
THANK YOU TROY. THANK YOU JAMES. THANK YOU HOWARD FOR MAKING THAT HAPPEN. I MADE A SIMPLE SUGGESTION AND THEY RAN WITH IT A LONG TIME
AGO. THANK YOU. >>>COMMISSIONER BOLTON.
>> TROY GOOD JOB ON PUTTING THIS EMERGENCY FUNDING THING TOGETHER.
I KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN DOWN THAT ROAD MYSELF A FEW TIMES. IT'S EASY TO THROW ROCKS AT YOUR STUFF AFTER YOU DRIVE A STAKE IN THE GROUND BUT IT'S TOUGH DOING A FIRST CUT AND YOU DID A GOOD JOB. THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE.
>> ABSOLUTELY. I HAVE NO COMMENT EXCEPT I WANT TO RECOGNIZE AND APPRECIATE OUR TWO STALL WORK DEPUTIES HERE WITH US AT EACH MEETING MAINTAINING ORDER.
I KNOW IT'S A LITTLE BORING. WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN'T DO ABOUT SPICING IT UP FOR YOU IN THE
FUTURE. GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO DO. >> GET MR. OTTO HERE IN
PERSON. >> LET ME SAY THIS THEN WE'LL BE OUT OF HERE.
ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE NEWS OF THE TERRIBLE THINGS THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS INVOLVING THE POLICE ACTIVITY AND THE RIOTING AND ALL THAT STUFF. LET ME SPEAK SPECIFICALLY TO THE STATUES THAT ARE FALLING EVERY DAY. I GUESS IT PROBABLY STRUCK HOME TO ME WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT POOR GEORGE WASHINGTON LAYING FACE DOWN IN THE PAVEMENT LAST NIGHT WITH HIS HEAD MISSING AND PROBABLY THE GREATEST AMERICAN ANY OF US COULD EVER WISH TO EMULATE.
THEN I'M THINKING WELL, CLAY COUNTY WE'RE PRETTY WELL IMMUNE. WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF STATUES. THEN I FIND OUT SOME GROUP AND I DON'T KNOW WHO IT WAS, THEY ARE LOOKING AT TAKING DOWN THE HISTORICAL MARKERS IN CLAY COUNTY I. E. HISTORICAL MARKER IN ORANGE PARK WHERE THE SITE OF THE MAPLE LEAF WAS.
I AM TOTALLY OPPOSED TO THAT AND NOT BELABOR THE POINT AS TO WHY. THAT'S NOT RIGHT.
IT'S PART OF OUR HISTORY. IT WAS A WAR AS BRUTAL AS IT WAS.
I JUST I'LL PROBABLY HAVE MORE TO SAY ON IT AT THE NEXT MEETING BUT LET ME GO ON RECORD AS SAYING I DO NOT SUPPORT THE TAKING DOWN OF ANY HISTORICAL MARKERS IN CLAY COUNTY BECAUSE I WAS INSTRUMENT IN PUTTING UP MOST OF THEM. I THINK IT BEHOOVES US TO USE HISTORICAL MARKERS JUST TO REMIND US OF WHERE WE WERE. NOT THAT IT WAS GOOD BUT WHERE
WE ARE NOW WHICH I THINK IS BETTER. >> CHAIR REAL QUICK ON THAT NOTE. ON THE FALLEN HEROS MEMORIAL. DO WE HAVE ANY CAMERA SYSTEMS ON THAT OR IS THERE A WAY, IT IS A REAL CONCERN. MAYBE WE COULD LOOK INTO SOME KIND OF, IF THAT GOT, I MEAN WHAT'S SAD IS THERE'S NO SHAME ON IN TERMS OF SOME OF THESE STATUES. IT'S NOT IDEOLOGICAL IT'S JUST DESTRUCTION.
>> THE TAPS? >> YEAH. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A WAY.
[03:50:01]
>> RESEARCH THAT FOR US. OKAY. >> JUST A THOUGHT.
>> THAT WAS EASY. ALL RIGHT. HEARING NOTHING ELSE WE WILL ADJO
