[00:00:06]
>> GOOD AFTERNOON AND WELCOME TO THE FINANCES AND AUDIT MEETING.
COMMITTEE OF ONE TODAY. MY ASSOCIATE IS OUT OF TOWN.
IT'S AUGUST 4. A COUPLE OF MINUTES AFTER 3:00
[PUBLIC COMMENTS]
AND WE WILL BEGIN WITH PUBLIC COMMENTS.COME ON FORWARD MR. OTTO. >> GOOD AFTERNOON.
>> JAMES OTTO. I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU AGAIN, I APPRECIATE THE PACE BUILDING Y'ALL PUT IN.
I REALLY THINK Y'ALL OUGHT TO BE DOUBLING YOUR FUNDING TO THOSE RESOURCES LIKE THE SQUIGGLY HOUSE DUE TO THE ISSUES.
I'VE BEEN WATCHING THE SCHOOL STUFF.
I WATCHED THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETING AND I THINK THEY SHOULD OPEN THE SCHOOLS. BUT I THINK THAT THE FOLKS GETTING UNEMPLOYMENT, STAYING HOME, THEY SHOULD BE KEEPING THEIR KIDS AT HOME SO YOU DON'T HAVE AS MUCH GOING TO THE SCHOOLS. AND THEN AGAIN I'D LIKE TO SEE THOSE POLICE CARS SHIFTED TO THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.
THERE IS NO REASON FOR THEM TO HAVE MORE THAN LIKE FIVE TO DO THEIR BUSINESS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THOSE SRO'S AT THE SCHOOLS AT THE PLAYGROUNDS EVEN WHEN THEY AREN'T OPEN. THAT WAY THEY COULD GET KIDS USED TO THE DISTANCING AND ALL OF THAT KIND OF STUFF THAT THEY NEED TO DO. I KNOW THEY POSTPONED SCHOOL OPENING. BUT I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD STILL BE OPENING THE PLAYGROUNDS EVEN THOUGH THE SCHOOLS AREN'T OPEN AND GET THE SRO'S OUT THERE.
I APPRECIATE YOU LISTENING TO ME ON THAT.
I KNOW MR. SO WOULD BE HAVING A FIT UP THERE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SCHOOLS. I DON'T THINK HE HAD A RIGHT TO SHOVE ME DOWN ON THAT IN THE PAST.
I DO HOPE THAT YOU MAKE IT. OBVIOUSLY I DON'T WANT YOUR OPPONENT TO GET ELECTED WHEN HE STOOD UP AGAINST OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. EVERYBODY CAN GO BACK THERE AND
REWATCH THAT ON STREAMING VIDEO. >> LET'S NOT TALK POLITICS.
>> OK. SO THERE IS A LOT OF SIGNS OUT THERE THAT AREN'T PERMITTED. TOO BAD MR. FIN ANY IS NOT HERE.
I REMEMBER WHEN YOU STARTED, YOU WERE BACK THERE AT THE SIGN MEETINGS I BELIEVE IF I REMEMBER RIGHT.
HOPEFULLY THOSE WILL BE GETTING BROUGHT BACK UP.
I WOULD ASK ON THE 129 MILLION THAT INSTEAD OF THAT 5% BUFFER, YOU GO TO THE 15% BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR TRACK RECORD -- [INAUDIBLE] WE HAD AN ABSENT COMMISSIONER.
>> YOUR TIME IS UP. >> INSTEAD OF THE TWO DISTRICTS IT SHOULD BE DIVIDED IF WE'RE ALL PAYING FOR IT.
>> OK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
[1. FY 2020 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program-Local Solicitation Certification]
>> WE'LL MOVE NOW TO THE AGENDA AND ITEM NUMBER 1.

WE PREVIOUSLY HAD ON THE AGENDA PAST MEETINGS APPROVAL TO APPLY FOR THE GRANT. WE'RE GOING TO USE IT FOR TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENTS, SPECIFICALLY OUR CLAY COMMUNITY CONNECT PROGRAM. SO THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE IT ON THE AGENDA FOR IS FOR CHAIRMAN HENRY'S SIGNATURE.

WE HAD THREE COMPANIES PUT IN FOR THAT.
IT WAS A CLAY COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION , THE CHAMBER. YOU SEE THE RANKING.
YOU GUYS MAY REQUEST A PRESENTATION OR AWARD TO THE
NUMBER ONE RANKED AGENCY. >> I THINK WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO OR WHAT I'M GOING TO SUGGEST IS THAT WE HAVE NUMBERS 1, 2 AND 3 MAKE PRESENTATIONS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE COMMISSIONER HAS BEEN ASKING FOR FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
I THINK OUT OF COURTESY TO HIM WE'LL OFFER TO THE FIRST THREE THAT THEY CAN MAKE A PRESENTATION.
>> OK. >> THIRD VENDOR IS OUT OF STATE.
BUT THAT'S FINE. >> WE CAN DO A ZOOM.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. >> WE GOT YOU.
WE'LL HAVE THEM AT OUR NEXT MEETING IF THAT'S WHEN IT WORKS

BASICALLY WE'RE CLARIFYING SOME OF THE VERBIAGE.

TODAY'S CONTRACT OR AGREEMENT THEY HAVE TO REGISTER ANNUALLY.
WE'RE CHANGING THAT TO HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS WILL CHANGE IT TO EVERY SIX MONTHS WILL CHILL FACTORS WILL GIVE US A MORE ACCURATE DEPICTION OF WHAT IS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
>> JUST FOR THE BENEFIT OF PEOPLE THAT MIGHT BE WATCHING.
EXPLAIN WHAT THEY DO FOR US. >> IT'S A FORECLOSURE.
IT'S THE FORECLOSURE REGISTRY. ANY PROPERTY THAT GOES BACK TO THE MORTGAGE COMPANY OR IS IN THE PROCESS OF GOING BACK TO THE MORTGAGE COMPANY, THEY HAVE TEN DAYS TO REGISTER WITH PROCHAMPS WHICH IS WHO WE CONTRACT WITH. MONTHLY THEY GIVE US A LIST WHAT PROPERTIES HAVE GONE THROUGH THAT PROCESS.
AND CURRENTLY THEY HAVE TO DO IT ANNUALLY.
WE'D LIKE TO DO EVERY SIX MONTHS BECAUSE THAT BE L HELP US KEEP
IT UP TO DATE. >> THIS HELPS WITH CODE
ENFORCEMENT? >> IT DOES AND OTHER THINGS BUT
>> THIS SOMEONE REALLY TIED TO AN ORDINANCE -- [INAUDIBLE] WE WOULD JUST ASK THAT THIS AGREEMENT CAN BE ADDED TO THAT AGENDA ITEM AT THE BOARD MEETING NEXT WEEK.
>> ITEM NUMBER FOUR REGARDING THE FIRST AMENDMENT WITH PROPERTY REGISTRATION CHAMPIONS WILL BE ON THE REGULAR AGENDA AT

>> THANK YOU. ITEM NUMBER FIVE , THE FIRST

>> WE RFPED IT IN THE PAST AND WE'RE ADDING ITEMS TO THE
AVAILABLE LIST OF SERVICES. >> IS IT OK WITH YOU IF THAT

>> WE'LL PUT THAT ON CONSENT THEN.
THANK YOU. >> ITEM 6 IS RFP REGARDING
[6. RFP #19/20-26, Debris Monitoring Services]
DEBRIS MONITORING SERVICES. >> BEFORE YOU WHAT WE HAVE IS THE DISASTER DEBRIS MONITORING RFP.
[00:10:04]
WE WENT OUT TO BID. THE CONTRACT WAS COMING TO AN END IN SEPTEMBER. BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENT CONTRACTOR WE HAD BECAUSE THEY US WRONG. WE'VE BEEN WORKING THROUGH GETTING THIS DONE. WE HAD FOUR RESPONDENTS WE WANT TO CONTRACT THREE AND PUT THREE ON CONTRACT, PRIMARY SECONDARY AND TERTIARY. IN CASE ONE FAILS WE CAN GO TO SECONDARY AND TERTIARY. THESE ARE THE SCORES.>> SINCE WE'RE GOING TO AWARD THESE TO THE TOP THREE, I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO HAVE PRESENTATIONS.
WE'LL PUT THIS ON CONSENT. >> ITEM 6 WILL GO ON CONSENT
AGENDA. >> AND THE NEXT ONE MR. MOTES
[7. First Renewal and Amendment with Airgas USA, LLC]
THIS IS THE FIRST RENEWAL AND AMENDMENT WITH AIR GAS.>> AIR GAS IS THE CONTRACTOR WE USE FOR PURCHASING OUR MEDICAL OXYGEN FOR DAY-TO-DAY USE AND DURING STORM USE FOR THE SPECIAL
NEEDS SHELTER. >> AND THIS AMENDMENT AND RENEWAL LOOKING THROUGH HERE REAL QUICK PUTS IT THROUGH TO JULY 10 OF NEXT YEAR. SO IT ADDS A YEAR ON.
WE'LL PUT THAT ON CONSENT AS WELL SINCE WE'VE BEEN DOING BUSINESS WITH THEM. AND THE NEXT ITEM IS NUMBER 8
[8. Agreement with GD e-Bridge Mobile Telemedicine Solutions]
AGREEMENT WITH GDE BRIDGE MOBILE TELEMEDICINE SOLUTIONS.>> ACTING FIRE CHIEF PUBLIC SAFETY.
THIS IS AN AGREEMENT WE'RE ASKING TO ENTER AN AGREEMENT WITH THIS COMPANY THAT IS GOING TO HAVE A SOLUTION FOR TELEMEDICINE. IT WAS REVIEWED BY I.T. BY THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR AND EMS COMMITTEE AND RECOMMENDED AS THE BEST TO BOTH INTEGRATE WITHIN OUR SYSTEM AND ACTS AS A MEDICAL TOOL BETWEEN THE PARAMEDICS AND PEOPLE IN THE FIELD.
IF YOU REMEMBER YOU LET US HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THEM FOR A FREE TIME PERIOD FOR TO US SEE HOW IT WOULD WORK AND TO APPROVE A CONCEPT. WE'RE DONE WITH THAT AND READY TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT FOR A YEAR.
>> CAN YOU GIVE US COMMENTS ON HOW THE TRIAL PERIOD WENT?
>> ONE OF THE BIGGEST SUCCESSES WE HAD WAS ON A SCENE WHERE WE HAD A MULTIVEHICLE ACCIDENT. AND THE PATIENT'S INJURIES WERE NOT NECESSARILY ADDING UP TO WHAT WE WERE SEEING AS THE MECHANISM WITH THE VEHICLES. WE SHOT A QUICK VIDEO OF THE SCENE AND LITERALLY IT TOOK TWO OTHER BUTTONS AND WENT TO THE TRAUMA SURGEONS AT ORANGE PARK MEDICAL CENTER WHO WERE ABLE TO SEE THAT LONG BEFORE THEY CAME IN AND THEY WERE ABLE TO DEVELOP A PLAN OF ACTION AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT PATIENT HAD GOING ON INSIDE. THAT WAS JUST ONE FACET OF HOW
WE WOULD USE IT. >> VERY GOOD.
WE'LL PUT THAT ON CONSENT AS WELL.
>> THANK YOU. >> ITEM NINE IS THE GRANT
[9. Grant Application Submittal Update]
APPLICATION SUBMITLE UPDATE. >> THIS IS JUST AN UPDATE.
AS YOU RECALL AS A PREVIOUS BOARD MEETING THE COUNTY MANAGER BROUGHT TO THE BOARD AN AGREEMENT WE COULD PIGGY BACK WITH LINKED IN SERVICES TO APPLY FOR GRANTS THAT HAD A QUICK TIME FRAME COMING UP. WITH THAT WE SAID WE WOULD COME BACK AND BRIEF THE BOARD AS THE APPLICATIONS WERE SUBMITTED AND AUTHORIZED. ONE WE WROUGHT TO YOU IT WAS ANIMAL SERVICES BUILDING. YOU'VE ALREADY SEEN THAT.
THIS IS FOUR ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS THEY HAVE FILED FOR US. AND THERE IS SOME CDBG MONEY THAT IS AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW. A HUMAN SERVICES PLAN AND THE SECOND IS A POST DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN.
AND THE CANTREFS POINTS AND BENEFITS FOR ANY FUNDS THAT WE CONTRIBUTE. IT'S NOT A REQUIRED MATCH.
SO LOOKING THROUGH OUR BUDGET AND WORKING WITH THE TEAM WE CAME UP WITH ABOUT 10% OF FUNDING THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE AND HAD PLANNED TO CONTRIBUTE TO SOME OF OUR PLANS.
THAT IS INCLUDED. THE OTHER TWO IS HARDENING PROJECTS THAT THEY SUBMIT A GRANT APPLICATION AND THESE ARE FOR OUR LIBRARIES, FLEMING ISLAND AND ORANGE PARK.
THIS IS FOR GENERATORS TO HARDEN THOSE FACILITIES.
WE NEED TO USE THEM IN THE EVENT OF A HURRICANE OR OTHER EVENT.
>> THIS IS JUST FOR INFORMATION LET ME DEFER WALL YOU HAD LIKE THIS TO GO ON REGULAR AGENDA OR CONSENT?
>> MAYBE PERHAPS THE REGULAR AGENDA SO IT GIVES THE BOARD
VISIBILITY ON WHAT WE'RE DOING. >> OK GOOD.
WE WILL SEE YOU AT THE NEXT REGULAR AGENDA.
[10. Revisions to the County’s Purchasing Policy]
[00:15:01]
AND YOU ARE UP FOR ITEM 10. >> SO THIS HAS BEEN A WORK IN PROGRESS. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT SEVERAL TIMES AT BOARD MEETINGS AND OTHER COMMITTEE MEETINGS.
OUR CURRENT PURCHASING POLICY WAS ADOPTED IN DECEMBER OF TO THOUSAND SIX. SINCE THAT TIME WE'VE MADE A FEW ADDITIONS BUT NO REAL REVISIONS NOR HAVE WE LOOKED AT OUR THRESHOLDS OR UPDATED THE POLICY BASED ON STATUTE OR OTHER REQUIREMENTS. SO WHAT I PUT TOGETHER IS A SUMMARY VERSUS A RED LINE VERBS FOR YOU JUST TO HIGHLIGHT THE MAJOR CHANGES AND UPDATE YOU ON WHAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON.
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT BY THE WAY.
>> I'LL GO THROUGH IT AND IF YOU WANT TO SLOW ME DOWN FEEL FREE.
OVERALL CHANGES. THERE WAS QUITE A FEW TO THE POLICY. THAT'S WHY WE DIDN'T GIVE YOU A RED LINE VERSION W. THE HELP OF COURTNEY AND OUR LEGAL TEAM WE MADE A LOT OF CHANGES TO REORGANIZE THE POLICY.
SOME ARE GRAMMAR CHANGES, SOME ARE CHAPTER REORGANIZATION.
ACKNOWLEDGING CHANGES RELATED TO THE TRANSITION THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE. A LOT OF SECTIONS INCLUDED THOSE
>> BUT THE START WITH CHAPTER ONE.
WHEN I SAY REORGANIZE THE CHAPTERS, HERE IS A GOOD EXAMPLE. CHAPTER ONE, WE COMBINED THE PURPOSE OF THE POLICY , THE RESPONSIBILITY AND THEN WE ADDED A DEFINITION SECTION. THAT IS THE BIG CHANGES THERE.
WITHIN THE RESPONSIBILITY SECTION WE DID ADD MODIFY THAT TO RECAP THE O AND B DEPARTMENT THAT WAS PART OF THE TRANSITION.
AND THEN THE COMPTROLLER RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CLERK.
>> OK. >> CHAPTER TWO RELATES TO ETHICS. AND THE ONLY BIG CHANGE WE MADE THERE IS WHEN OUR EMPLOYEES GO TO ANY KIND OF TRAINING OR WORKSHOPS, SOMETIMES THERE IS WHAT I CALL GIVE AWAYS, LIKE MAYBE THEY ARE PROVIDE AID PEN AND NOTE PAD TO TAKE NOTES ON.
MAYBE A VENDOR IS SUPPORTING THAT, SPONSORING THAT EVENT SO THE NOTE PAD MAY BE IN THEIR NAME.
WE HAVE OUR HEALTH FAIR WE ENCOURAGE EMPLOYEES TO GO TO.
AT THE SAME TIME WE DON'T LET THE PURCHASING AGENTS PARTICIPATE OR DROP OFF ANY TICKETS FOR GIVE AWAYS.
SO WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE OUR EMPLOYEES TO GO TO OUR COUNTY HOSTED EVENTS. THIS LOOSENED UP THAT SECTION A LITTLE. CHAPTER 3 DEFINES THE PURCHASING DEPARTMENT AND ALSO LISTS THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PURCHASING AGENTS. AND WE'LL DISCUSS FURTHER BUT WE'RE PROPOSING A P CARD PROGRAM AND THE PROGRAM WOULD BE A NEW ADDITION TO RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PURCHASING DEPARTMENT.
>> AND TELL US WHAT A P CARD IS. >> THAT'S A PURCHASING CARD.
I DON'T WANT TO USE THE TERM CREDIT CARD BUT IS SIMILAR TO A CREDIT CARD. WE'LL GO OVER THAT.
IT HAS ITS OWN CHAPTER AND SECTION.
FOR CHAPTER FOUR BUDGET CONTROLS.
THERE WAS NO MAJOR CHANGES MADE TO THAT SECTION.
THERE WAS SOME NEEDED SOME CLARIFICATION OF WHAT TYPE BUDGET TRANSFERS NEED TO COME TO THE BOARD AND WHAT CAN BE APPROVED BY THE COUNTY MANAGER SO IT WAS JUST CLEANING UP
LANGUAGE IN THAT SECTION. >> OK.
>> FOR PURCHASING RULES, WE DID THIS IS WHERE A LOT OF THE CHANGES REORGANIZING THE CHAPTER , THE PROCESS AND PROCEDURES FOR PURCHASE REQUISITION AND THE FLOW OF A PURCHASE ORDER.
IN THE CONTRACT SECTION WE MORE DEFINED THE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BOARD AND WHAT THE COUNTY MANAGER CAN APPROVE AND NOT APPROVE. AND THIS IS WHERE YOU'LL SEE SOME INCREASES. SO CURRENTLY THE COUNTY MANAGER CAN SIGN CONTRACTS UP TO 25,000. AND WE ASKED HA THAT THE AUTHORITY BE GIVEN UP TO OTHER THOUSAND.
WE CLARIFIED OUR POLICY CURRENTLY TALKED ABOUT THE COUNTY MANAGER BEING ABLE TO SIGN CHANGE ORDERS OR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT CHANGE ORDERERS TO PROJECTS TO KEEP THEM FLOWING SO WE DIDN'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR A TWO WEEK BOARD MEETING.
SO THIS CLARIFIES THAT HE HAS THE AUTHORITY UP TO 110 PERSONS OF THE PRICE. WE DID ADD A SECTION THAT WE TALKED TO THE BOARD ABOUT PREVIOUSLY THAT CURRENTLY RIGHT
[00:20:01]
NOW WE HAVE TO ASK TO WAIVE THE POLICY ANYTIME WE BRING A CONTRACT TO THE BOARD AND WE MISS THE FINANCE AND AUDIT MEETING THE INTENT IS TO BRING IT THROUGH FINANCE AND AUDIT.THERE ARE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT ARE TIME SENSITIVE OR WE'RE JUST FINDING OUT THAT A DOT AGREEMENT HAS TO BE SUBMITTED BACK BY A CERTAIN TIME FRAME AND WE CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THE BOARD MEETING.
WE DID PUT YOU LANGUAGE IN THERE TO ALLOW FOR THAT.
THE OTHER CLARIFICATION UNDER CONTRACTS THAT WE ADDED WAS WE HAVE SOME WHAT WE CALL NON-PROCUREMENT OR PROCUREMENT RELATED AGREEMENTS THAT CURRENTLY ISN'T DISCUSSED IN OUR POLICY. WE STRUGGLE WITH DO WE BRING THOSE TO THE BOARD, IS IT SOMETHING THE COUNTY MANAGER CAN APPROVE SO WE ASKED FOR CLARIFICATION.
I CAN GIVE YOU A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES.
WHEN WE RESERVE A ROOM AT THRASHER HORN.
THAT IS COVERED UNDER OUR FUNDING AGREEMENT.
BUT THAT'S STILL A SEPARATION AGREEMENT WE HAVE TO SIGN.
IT'S PART OF DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS SO WE ASK THAT COUNTY MANAGER CAN SIGN THOSE KIND OF DOCUMENTS.
BUILDING PERMITS, OTHER PERMIT APPLICATIONS, THINGS THAT ARE COVERED IN OUR BUDGET OR HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY ALLOWED BY THE BOARD. IT'S DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS.
>> I'M FAMILIAR WITH SOME OF THOSE OCCASIONS THAT HAVE COME
UP. >> THE NEXT SECTION IS RELATED TO THE THRESHOLDS. AND THE FIRST CHART I INCLUDE ASKED A SUMMARY OF OUR CURRENT THRESHOLDS.
I WON'T GO OVER THAT BUT IF YOU WANT TO REFER BACK TO IT IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS WE CAN. THE SECOND CHART IS WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING. FOR EXAMPLE CURRENTLY FROM 0-$24 A PURCHASING AGENT CAN GO BUY A SMALL WIDGET AT A STORE.
NOW WE'RE ASKING IS THAT WE INCREASE THAT.
A LOT OF THRESHOLDS YOU'LL SEE HAVE DOUBLED IS WHAT WE'RE ASKING AUTHORITY FOR. IN THAT CASE WE'RE ASKING FOR AUTHORITY UP TO $999. AND THE REASON WE WENT UP TO THAT LIMIT IS BECAUSE THE PROPOSED P CARD PROGRAM WILL GO
>> SO FOR USE OF A P CARD, WE WERE ASKING THAT WE CAN IMPLEMENT THE P CARD PROGRAM AND THAT WE CAN DESIGNATE CARDS AND HAVE SPENDING AUTHORITY UP TO $999.
THE REASON WE SET THAT LIMIT IS STANDARD WITH OTHER COUNTIES AND AGENCIES THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO SET IT AT YOUR FIXED ASSET COST.
WHEN YOU GO OUT AND BUY $300 -- OR $1,200 COMPUTER THAT'S A FIXED ASSET. WE WANT TO CONTINUE OUR NORMAL OPERATIONS. THE CURRENTLY IT GOES UP TO 4,999. AT THAT LIMIT THE DEPARTMENT HEAD AND THE PURCHASING DIRECTOR WOULD APPROVE THOSE PURCHASES.
10,000 TO 1,999 WOULD REQUIRE THREE QUOTES.
THREE VERBAL QUOTES AND THAT'S APPROVED BY THE DEPARTMENT TO 49,999. THIS IS WHERE YOU SEE THAT WE DOUBLE AGAIN REQUIRES THREE WRITTEN QUOTES.
AND THEN YOU MUST FOLLOW ALL THE PROCESSES OF A PURCHASE ORDER, A CONTRACT FOR SERVICES IF IT'S SERVICES RELATED.
>> ANYTHING 50,000 OR ABOVE WOULD GO OUT TO FORMAL BID.
WE'RE AT 25,000 FOR FORMAL BID AND THIS INCREASES TO $50,000.
AGAIN WE HAVE INFORMATION AND CHARTS ON OTHER COUNTIES THRESHOLDS THESE ARE IN LINE WITH OTHER COUNTIES.
>> WE CURRENTLY HAVE A SECTION THAT ARE EXCEPTIONS TO THE
[00:25:03]
COMPETITIVE PURCHASING REQUIREMENT.AND WITHIN THOSE WE MADE JUST A FEW MINOR CHANGES AND CLARIFICATIONS. SO CURRENTLY WE ALLOW FOR OTHER CONTRACT PIGGY BACKING. BUT WE WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT WHEN WE DO THAT IT REQUIRES A CONTRACT IF IT'S NOT OVER OTHER THOUSAND THE COUNTY MANAGER CAN SIGN THAT AS WELL.
PUBLIC AUCTIONS, WE DON'T USE THAT VERY OFTEN.
BUT THERE WAS NO CAPITALISTED IN THE COUNTERPOLICY SO WE JUST INCLUDED THE OTHER THOUSAND CAP FOR THE COUNTY MANAGER.
USED GOODS MATERIALS. WE PUT A CAP ON THAT AT 50,000.
AS YOU MAY RECALL WE RECENTLY PURCHASED A VEHICLE FROM CITY OF JACKSONVILLE. THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF A USED
EQUIPMENT MATERIAL. >> WE HAVE SOME EXCEPTIONS TO OUR POLICY AND WE JUST MADE A COUPLE OF UPDATES TO THAT THAT KIND OF MADE SENSE OVER THE YEARS.
AND THESE ARE CAN BE PAID WITH A DIRECT PAY VOUCHER.
SO WE DID SOME CLARIFICATION ON INSURANCITE HAPPENS THE BOARD HAD PREVIOUSLY APPROVED. SO THE BOARD PREVIOUSLY GAVE THE COUNTY MANAGER AUTHORITY BUT WE IMPLEMENTED AND INCORPORATED IT INTO THE POLICY. WE DID ADD MAINTENANCE OF SUPPORT AND SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS WITH THE FACT THAT WE WOULD REVIEW IT EVERY FIVE YEARS.
THIS IS ONE WE BRING TO YOU OFTEN AND WHEN WE ASK FOR EXEMPTION, IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO TURN AROUND AND BUY EVERY YEAR AND REINVEST IN. WITH THIS COMMITMENT WE'LL
REVIEW IT EVERY FIVE YEARS. >> AND THEN ALSO WE'VE HAD DISCUSSION MANY TIMES ABOUT TOURISM MARKETING MATERIAL AND ADVERTISEMENT MATERIAL. AND IT MAKES SENSE IF WE'RE TRYING TO TARGET THE GOLF INDUSTRY OR A CERTAIN INDUSTRY THAT THAT IS WHO WE WANT TO ADVERTISE THAT WE INCLUDE THAT AS AN EXCEPTION. LOCAL PREFERENCE IS A SECTION THAT WAS RECENTLY ADDED TO OUR POLICY AND WE ONLY MADE SOME SMALL PROVISIONS TO MAKE IT SIMILAR TO OUR AMERICAN PREFERENCE WE'VE NOW INCLUDED. SO THESE ARE NEW SECTIONS.
THE BUY AMERICAN PREFERENCE AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THE BOARD RECENTLY TALKED ABOUT AND IT'S SUPPORTING THE BUY AMERICAN ACT.
IF A VENDOR CAN PROVE THEY USE 51% OR MORE OF GOODS THAT ARE BUY AMERICAN, WE CAN GIVE THEM PREFERENCE WITH THE THOUGHT SIMILAR TO THE LOCAL PREFERENCE. WE GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO BEAT OR MEET THE PRICE OF A NON-AMERICAN PRODUCT BY 5% OR MORE. THE PROHIBITION ON PURCHASE OF CERTAIN TELECOMMUNICATION AND VIDEO SURVEILLANCE GOODS AND SERVICES. THIS IS THE CHINESE PRODUCTS THAT TELECOME PRODUCTS WE TALKED ABOUT RECENTLY AT THE BOARD MEETINGS. WE'VE ADDED THAT SECTION.
WE FOCUS THAT ON SIMILAR TO WHAT CITY OF JACKSONVILLE AND OTHER COUNTIES HAVE RECENTLY IMPLEMENTED.
>> OK. >> BOTH OF THESE CAPTAIN SECTIONS DO ALLOWED FOR THE BOARD TO WAIVE THE POLICY.
IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE FEEL WE CAN'T MEET OR IT'S NOT IN OUR BEST INTEREST, THEN THAT CAN BE WAIVED.
>> OK. >> ANOTHER NEW SECTION THAT WE ADDED WAS VENDOR DEBARMENT. SOMETIMES WE HAVE VENDORS THAT MAYBE PERFORM POORLY OR FINANCIALLY ARE NOT STABLE OR WE'VE HAD ISSUES WITH, WE NOW HAVE A CHAPTER THAT WILL ALLOW US TO DEBAR THEM FOR A PERIOD OF TIME FOR THEM TO CURE ANY ISSUES
>> THE EMERGENCY PURCHASE SECTION ESSENTIAL PUBLIC FACILITIES AND EXCLUDED PARKS AND REC BUILDING.
WE FEEL LIKE THOSE ARE ESSENTIAL SO WE TOOK OUT THE WORD ESSENTIAL. I THINK OVER THE YEARS IT WAS CONSIDERED PARKS AND REC OR FAIRGROUND WAS NOT ESSENTIAL.
WE HAVE SO MANY EVENTS THERE AND THEY ARE CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL.
>> A LOT OF STAGING THERE FOR EMERGENCIES RIGHT.
>> YES. THE NEXT CHAPTER 7 IS SOLE SOURCE. WE CLARIFIED AND ALLOWED FOR SINGLE SOURCE AND SOLE SOURCE. AND IT ALSO GIVES THE COUNTY MANAGER AUTHORITY TO APPROVE UP TO OTHER THOUSAND WHICH IS IN LINE WITH HIS OTHER AUTHORITY LEVELS.
[00:30:02]
CHAPTER 8 PROCEDURES FOR AND COMPETITIVE BIDDING.THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF CHANGES OTHER THAN REORGANIZING AND MAKING THAT SECTION FLOW A LITTLE BETTER.
THERE WAS A COUPLE OF CHANGES WE THOUGHT WOULD HELP WITH EFFICIENCIES. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT SOME OF OUR BIDDING TIME FRAMES AND WHY IT TAKES SO LONG AND HOW COULD WE SPEED THAT UP. THERE IS A FEW THINGS THAT WILL HELP BUT DOESN'T CURE ALL THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE.
WE DELETED THE REQUIREMENT THAT OPEN ON A TUESDAY.
THAT IS SOMETHING WE RECENTLY BROUGHT TO YOU RELATED TO THE CARES FUNDING. SOMETIMES THAT DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE OF HOLIDAYS. IT ALSO DOESN'T WORK ON OUR AGENDA DEADLINES AND DIFFERENT REASONS THAT WE WOULD LIKE FLEXIBILITY. WE HAVE TO CERTIFY MAIL THOSE TO OUR POTENTIAL BIDDERS. THE WAY WE SUBMIT OUR BIDS NOW ARE EMAIL AND ONLINE WE MAKE THEM AVAILABLE.
WE WANT TO DO AWAY WITH THAT REQUIREMENT.
WE WOULD HAVE TO BRING IT TO THE BOARD BEFORE WE ISSUED THE BID.
AN EXAMPLE IS IF WE'RE BUILDING A BUILDING AND WE WANT TO INCLUDE BUILDERS RISK INSURANCE. RIGHT NOW THAT'S NOT A STANDARD REQUIREMENT. BUT WE WOULD WANT TO REQUIRE THAT ON CERTAIN PROJECTS. IS SO THAT YOU UNDERSTAND IN MOST CASES IT WOULD BE MAKING OUR INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS STRONGER. FOR BID AWARDS.
SHOULD WE HAVE TO NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE A FINANCE AND AUDIT ITEM AND IT WAS AN EMERGENCY BID. TO HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY WE'RE NOT HAVING TO WAVE OUR POLICY EACH TIME WE DO THAT.
ALSO AT THE TIME WE BRING A BID AWARD.
WE'D REICH TO BRING AN AGREEMENT AT THE SAME TIME.
>> THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. >> THE NEXT CHAPTER WE MADE A CHANGE TO WAS ADVANCE PAYMENT. THE COUNTY MANAGER CAN APPROVE UP TO $5,000 FOR ADVANCE PAYMENT.
WE'RE ASKING FOR AUTHORITY TO APPROVE UP TO 35,000.
THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN THE 50,000.
THAT'S IN LINE WITH THE FLORIDA STATUTE REQUIREMENTS.
>> AGAIN ANY POINT WE FEEL LIKE THE BOARD NEEDS TO BE BRIEFED, WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING IT TO THE BOARD.
SO THAT'S THE CHANGE THERE. CHAPTER TEN IS OUR P CARD PROCEDURES. THIS IS A NEW PURCHASING CARD PROGRAM THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO PUT INTO PLACE.
THINGS THAT YOU WOULD SEE THIS USED FOR A LOT WOULD BE HOTEL RESERVATIONS. TRAVEL.
WE COULD ASSIGN IT TO OUR PUBLIC SAFETY WHEN THEY ARE DEPLOYED TO GO HELP ANOTHER COUNTY UNDER A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING OR WHEN THEY GO TO HELP FIGHT A FIRE OR TRAVELING.
AND THEN IT IS JUST LOW DOLLAR PURCHASES THAT A DEPARTMENT MAY NEED TO MAKE QUICKLY. THERE IS A LOT OF THIS IS A LARGE CHAPTER. AND IT HAS A LOT OF CONTROLS IN PLACE. IT AUTHORIZES GIVES DIRECTION AND AUTHORIZATION TO A P CARD HOLDER, A P CARD ADMINISTRATOR, THE DEPARTMENT HEAD AND THE P CARD MANAGER.
AND AGAIN THE ADMINISTERING OF THIS PROGRAM WOULD BE THROUGH THE PURCHASING DEPARTMENT. AND WE DID SHARE THIS SECTION WITH THE COMPTROLLER. SINCE THIS IS A NEW CHAPTER THAT WOULD BE GOING INTO EFFECT FOR OCTOBER 1.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I CAN EXPLAIN THAT MORE.
OTHERWISE WHAT WE DID WAS WE LOOKED AT SEVERAL OTHER COUNTIES AND TOOK THEIR POLICY AND MADE IT TWEAKED IT A LITTLE TO FIT
[00:35:03]
US. IT'S VERY CONSISTENT WITH FLAGLER, ST. JOHN'S THAT WE WERE ALL WRITTEN SIMILAR AND WE TOOKTHOSE. >> IS THIS SIMILAR TO LIKE A PRELOADED CARD, WE PUT A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CASH AVAILABLE AND
THAT'S AS MUCH AS THEY CAN USE? >> CORRECT.
>> ONE THING IS WE HAVEN'T PICKED THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT WE WOULD USE. AND THAT WOULD DEPEND ON WHAT CONTROLS THEY HAVE IN PLACE AND WHAT THEY RECOMMEND.
THAT'S WHY WE WANT TO HAVE TIME TO REVIEW.
WE'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH WELLS FARGO WHO IS OUR CURRENT FINANCIAL INSTITUTION. THEY DO HAVE GOOD CONTROLS AND REBATES IN PLACE. BANK OF AMERICA IS USED BY THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND THAT'S THE P CARD ADOPTED BY THE STATE.
THAT MANY COUNTIES PIGGY BACK AND USE.
IT DEPENDS WHAT THE PROGRAM HAS IN PLACE AND WHAT WE WANT TO SET TOO. IT'S VERY FLEXIBLE WE CAN PUT STRICT LIMITS. HAVE TO BE RECONCILED IN TEN DAYS OR YOUR CARD IS SHUT OFF. THERE ARE A LOT OF CONTROLS.
>> IS THERE A COST ASSOCIATED WITH HAVING THESE CARDS?
>> THERE IS A SMALL FEE WITH THE DIFFERENT INSTITUTIONS.
WE MAKE THAT BACK ON THE REBATES WE GET.
>> VERY GOOD. >> AND THEN WHICHEVER INSTITUTION WE GO WITH WILL BE AN OFFICIAL AGREEMENT THAT WILL COME BACK TO THE BOARD. NOTE OF THE TRANSITION AND NEW CHAPTER WE ADDED AS WELL. MAYBE WE FIND ABOUT IT TODAY AND THERE IS NOT ANOTHER BOARD MEETING.
SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS WE MADE IN THIS CHAPTER IS AGAIN TO GIVE THE COUNTY MANAGER AUTHORITY TO APPROVE GRANT APPLICATIONS AND AGREEMENTS UP TO 50,000 PROVIDED THAT THEY DO NOT INCLUDE ANY ASSOCIATED OR MONETARY OBLIGATIONS THAT NEED TO BE APPROVED BY THE BOARD. AND THEN GRANT APPLICATIONS AND GRANT AGREEMENTS OVER 50,000 WOULD COME BACK TO THE BOARD FOR
APPROVAL. >> SEEING IF WE COULD MAKE IT FORMAL. IS THERE A WAY FOR TO US HAVE AN INTERNAL POLL STAY ALL GRANTS ARE LOOKED AT IN VIEW OF ANY
RESTRICTIONS THEY MIGHT HAVE. >> THIS SECTION DOES INCLUDE SOME OF. THAT I KNOW DEBBIE IN THE O AND B DEPARTMENT IS WORKING ON SOME MORE FORMAL PROCEDURES THAT SHE'LL BE BRINGING. BUT YES, IT DOES OUTLINE WHAT IS REVIEWED. WE HAVE TO KNOW WHAT PROCUREMENT OBLIGATIONS ARE TIED TO A GRANT, ANY LONG TERM OBLIGATIONS.
>> YOU ALL DID A LOT OF WORK. >> THIS HAS BEEN A WORK IN PROGRESS FOR A LONG TIME AND I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT
COURTNEY AND HER TEAM. >> Y'ALL WORK WELL TOGETHER.
>> VERY GOOD. >> THIS IS A MASTERPIECE BY
COURTNEY AND TEAM. >> GROUP EFFORT.
>> THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS OR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION YOU'D LIKE TO SEE. THAT'S WHAT THEY DO IS MAKE SURE
WE FOLLOWED THIS. >> WE HAVE SHARED A DRAFT AND
WE'LL SHARE THE FINAL. >> YOU READ AT THIS TIME SAME
WAY THEY READ IT. >> WITH ALL OF OUR TRANSITION MEETINGS THIS HAS BEEN A HOT TOPIC FOR TWO WEEKS.
DO YOU WANT TO MAKE THIS SAME PRESENTATION ON OUR AGENDA FOR
>> I THINK AWILL BE GOOD. WE'LL PLACE THIS ITEM ON THE AGENDA FOR THE NEXT MEETING. AND YOU ARE HERE -- THAT'S IT.
[11. Future Committee Items]
COUNTY MANAGER. >> JUST FUTURE COMMITTEE ITEMS
[00:40:06]
ARE LISTED. THE DEBRIS MONITORING SERVICES AGREEMENT IS BEING WORKED ON AND E AND I BELIEVE DID WE NOT WANT TO TAKE THAT TO THE BOARD AND YOU HAD ANOTHER ITEM.>> IN CONNECTION WITH ITEM 6 ON THE AGENDA, THERE WILL BE THE THREE AGREEMENTS THAT GO ALONG WITH THAT BID AWARD.
AND WE WILL BE BRINGING THEM DIRECTLY TO THE BOARD IN LIGHT OF THE JUST THE CURRENT HURRICANE SEASON AS WELL AS THE UNCERTAINTY WITH OUR CURRENT EXISTING CONTRACTOR.
ALSO WE'LL BE BRINGING DIRECTLY TO THE BOARD THE AGREEMENT WITH THE YMCA WE DISCUSSED AT YESTERDAY'S BOARD MEETING.
AND LASTLY I KNOW TROY MUST HAVE STEPPED OUT.
TROY HAS AN ITEM HE WOULD LIKE TO BRING DIRECTLY TO THE BOARD WHICH SAN AMENDMENT TO AN AGREEMENT THAT WE HAVE WITH MISSION CRITICAL PARTNERS IN CONNECTION WITH OUR CONSOLIDATION EFFORTS. THEY'VE RUN INTO SOME COVID 19 STAFFING ISSUES AND JUST NEED AN EXTENSION.
WE'LL BE BRINGING THAT TO THE BOARD.
>> WE'LL ADD THOSE ITEMS TO THE NEXT AGENDA.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE TO COME BEFORE THE COMMITTEE?
>> TWO ADDITIONAL UPDATES. FOR COVID 19 , THE TOTAL NUMBER OF POSITIVES HERE REPORTED OUT WERE 2,984.
IT'S PLUS 49 DAY-TO-DAY. 197 HOSPITALIZATIONS SO THAT WAS A PLUS ONE DAY OVER DAY. THE MEDIAN AGE IS 41.
OUT OF 490 TESTS THE PERCENTAGE OF POSITIVES IS 11.7%.
TRY TO KEEP THAT UNDER 10 SO EXPECT A LITTLE TODAY.
UNFORTUNATELY WE HAD ANOTHER DEATH IN THE COUNTY.
WE'RE UP TO 49 DEATHS. IT WAS AN ELDERLY WOMAN IN A LONG TERM CARE FACILITY. OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO THAT FAMILY. THE CARES ACT AND THE FUNDING AS BRIEFED YESTERDAY BY TROY AND I JUST SIGNED A PURCHASING ORDER ON THIS. SO A TOTAL OF 402 CHECKS WILL BE GOING OUT AT $491,120.56. THAT IS 108 BUSINESSES -- 294 INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY COVID 19.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE PENDING ANY QUESTIONS.
GOOD NEWS. WE WILL ADJOURN THIS MEETING AND WE HAVE ANOTHER MEETING DIRECTLY FOLLOWING.
SO THIS OFFICIALLY ADJOURNS THE FINANCE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE.
AND WE WILL NOW GO TO THE STANDING COMMITTEE.
WELCOME TO THE STANDING COMMITTEE.
IT IS STILL AUGUST 4. AND WE'RE A LITTLE PAST 3 :306789 IT'S 3:45. WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS.
>> I HAVE FAITH YOU WILL BE ELECTED SO YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE GOING TOO FAR. WE'LL SEE RIGHT.
I THINK EACH CITY SHOULD HAVE THEIR OWN AMBULANCE.
I THINK THAT SHOULD BE A REQUIREMENT.
[00:45:31]
I THINK YOU GOT AN EMAIL FROM ME THE REFERENCE TO USING INERM CATCHING PYTHONS SO WE CAN SAVE DEER.ONE OF THE RABBITS IS EXTINCTION NOW BECAUSE OF THE HUMAN BEINGS THAT ALLOWED THESE SNAKES TO COME IN AND THEY'VE GOTTEN THE SNAKES AND LET THEM LOOSE AND NOW WE HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM.
IF PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR ANIMALS, I THINK IF THEY CHANGE THE SHELTER ALL TOGETHER AND DO THE EUTHANIZING, THAT YOU'LL HAVE BETTER PET OWNERS AND SOCIETY WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT PROBLEM AND THEN WE CAN BUILD A HUMAN SHELTER FOR THE PEOPLE THAT NEED TO BE OFF THE STREETS.
SO I APPRECIATE THE EXTRA TIME. SOME OF THE OTHER FOLKS GET A LOT OF EXTRA TIME. BUT IF WE COULD RELOOK AT THE PICTURES BECAUSE I SENT OFFICERS THAT ARE PUTTING THESE ANIMALS UP AND THEY REFUSE TO WRITE A REPORT WHICH I UNDERSTAND.
I DON'T KNOW IF THE COMMISSION CAN DO ANYTHING TO GET THESE
OFFICERS TO WRITE REPORTS. >> TIME IS UP.
>> CAN THEY WRITE A REPORT? THEY ARE SAYING BECAUSE IT'S
CIVIL THEY CAN'T. >> YOUR TIME IS UP.
I WANT TO GET CLARIFICATION ON TWO THINGS.
DID YOU MAKE A PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST?
>> YES, MA'AM. FOR THE AMBULANCE CALLS IN REFERENCE TO ABUSIVE DOGS. AND FROM MY UNDERSTANDING IF THEY RUN IN A PACK OF THREE THEY ARE CONSIDERED DIFFERENT THAN
JUST ONE ANIMAL RUNNING LOOSE. >> OK.
WE'LL TAKE NOTE OF THAT. I CALLED THE FISH AND WILDLIFE AND THEY SAID IF WE USE THE PIT BULLS TO TRAP THE PYTHONS IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED ANIMAL ABUSE.
>> RIGHT. >> THERE IS A LITTLE BABY THAT
GOT ATE BY A PYTHON. >> I NEED TO LET YOU GO.
TAKE CARE. >>ING ON ITEM NUMBER ONE IS A PUBLIC HEARING ON CENTURY AMBULANCE SERVICE.
>> DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY ON JUNE 23 WE RECEIVED A RENEWAL APPLICATION.% THIS IS ONE OF THE LONGER AMBULANCES WE'VE HAD OPERATING IN THE COUNTY TO REAPPLY.
A TWO YEAR CERTIFICATE FOR A CLASS B, C AND D.
PURSUANT TO THAT THROUGH OUR CHAPTER 7.3 OF OUR ORDINANCE IT REQUIRES THE OFFICE OF THE FIRE CHIEF TO PERFORM A BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION TO DECIDE WHETHER WE NEEDED TO STILL HAVE THAT SERVICE OR NOT AND COMES TO THE STANDING COMMITTEE.
WHICH WILL MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD.
WE FOUND THEM TO BE FULLY COMPETENT AND FINANCIALLY ABLE TO CONTINUE THEIR SERVICE TO CLAY COUNTY AS THEY HAVE IN THE PAST. THAT WOULD LEAVE YOU ONE OF THREE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD WHETHER YOU WOULD DEEM IT NECESSARY TO PROTECT THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE CITIZENS OF THE COUNTY. IT SHALL BE ISSUED SUBJECT TO ANY LIMITATIONS OR CONDITIONS. THE NEXT IS SIMILAR.
U . SAY IT'S NOT NECESSARY. AND LAST IS TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE BOARD ON THE APPLICATION.
I RECOMMEND YOU ACCEPT THEM AS NECESSARY FOR PUBLIC HEALTH.
WE FOUND NO ISSUE WITH THEM. IT'S A RENEWAL AGREEMENT.
>> WE'LL HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING NOW.
DOES IT NEED TO TO GO ON CONSENT?
>> IT DOESN'T NEED TO TO THE HAVE ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING BUT IT'S NEEDS TO GO ON AS NEW BUSINESS ITEM FOR YOUR
RECOMMENDATION. >> AND THE PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN. I REPEAT THE SAME THING.
EACH CITY SHOULD HAVE THEIR OWN. THE PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST WAS
[00:50:03]
FOR THE AMBULANCE OR RESCUE FOR PIT BULLS.OR AGGRESSIVE DOGS. I NOTICE THAT Y'ALL DON'T CALL THEM BY WHAT THEY ARE WHEN AWE DON'T THEM OUT.
YOU SAY THEY ARE MIXED. THAT AND THE FOOTBALL INJURIES.
THAT CLIP I SENT YOU. THERE WERE PEOPLE CLAIMING FOLKS DIED OF AIDS. THERE WAS ONE IN THE STATES --
>> IS THIS ABOUT AMBULANCES? I HAVE TO KEEP YOU ON TOPIC ON
THIS ONE. >> IT IS PEOPLE GOING OUT FOR THE COVID AND STUFF. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
>> YEAH. >> THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
>> WE'VE HAD OUR FIRST SPEAKER. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE TO SPEAK TO THE ITEM? OK.
WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING THEN.
AND BRING IT BACK. UNDER RECOMMENDATION OF COUNCIL WE'LL PUT ON THIS THE AJAPAN UNDER NEW BUSINESS FOR THE MEET
WHICH CAN IS NEXT TUESDAY. >> DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE?
>> NOTHING ELSE. >> WE STAND ADJOURNED.
THANK YOU.
