[5:14] second by Commissioner Moody? We got a
[5:19] flying a little bit. Got a flying sir.
[5:24] Okay, number seven. Um,
[5:30] my agenda there wasn't a satisfaction,
[5:31] but I think maybe we prepared that
[5:33] today.
[5:34] >> No, I sent [snorts] it to you this
[5:36] morning.
[5:36] >> This morning? Okay. Well, it wasn't in
[5:38] my agenda. [clears throat] Okay. So,
[5:40] there is a but we we prepared it, right?
[5:44] >> I can't recall, but I it may have
[5:47] >> I
[5:48] >> probably but I for you to sign. Okay,
[5:51] good. Then secondly on number nine
[5:59] that does an extension need to be typed
[6:01] on that
[6:08] is [clears throat] when the board
[6:09] consider an approval award ready
[6:12] uh LCC contract of $100,000 for the
[6:15] construction installation
[6:17] of the 80 kilowatt generator the bought.
[6:22] Does the contract need to be prepared on
[6:24] that?
[6:26] >> I'm sure it will be at some point, but I
[6:28] think we may need to get an answer back
[6:30] from FDOT on the the grant extension and
[6:34] that way we'll know the timeline a
[6:36] little better.
[6:36] >> Okay. Generally
[6:38] on grant extension from FOT, then
[6:42] there's a extension contract and there's
[6:45] also resolution.
[6:47] >> Okay. Okay.
[6:48] >> Yes, sir. We're good.
[6:51] So, we need to pull that.
[6:54] >> That's just for the award. I don't think
[6:56] there was a contract attached to that.
[7:00] >> Is that what you're saying, Conrad?
[7:02] >> Yeah.
[7:04] Nine. [clears throat]
[7:06] There wasn't a contract attached to
[7:10] uh the agenda [clears throat] item
[7:12] number nine.
[7:14] >> Right. Correct. We don't we haven't
[7:17] asked you to prepare one yet.
[7:19] >> Okay. All right.
[7:20] Good. One more. Um, as we go through the
[7:24] new year, um,
[7:28] number 11, the board to consider the
[7:30] committee's recommendation to award the
[7:32] Doctor's Memorial [clears throat]
[7:34] Hospital nuclear medicine camera
[7:36] modifications
[7:38] uh, to Oliver Sperry renovation. And you
[7:41] sent me an email that you wanted me to
[7:43] do, and I I don't mind do a contract,
[7:47] just a construction contract.
[7:49] >> Yes, sir. for the um
[7:50] >> for that project
[7:51] >> for that for the the room, right?
[7:53] >> Yes, sir.
[7:54] >> Okay, I'll do that. Okay, that's all.
[7:57] Sorry.
[7:57] >> All right, we have a motion on the table
[8:00] by Commissioner F. Second by
[8:02] Commissioner Moody. All in favor
[8:08] 13, we continued under bid public
[8:10] hearing. We'll move to item 14.
[8:13] The board to receive statement of
[8:15] qualifications for Taylor County,
[8:16] Florida contract for engineering
[8:18] services set for this date at 6:05
[8:23] p.m. or as soon thereafter as possible
[8:27] county administrator.
[8:30] All right. So we have two
[8:34] [clears throat] two here. This one the
[8:35] first one is from the North Florida
[8:37] Professional Services Inc. in Lake City,
[8:40] Florida.
[9:06] Is there going to be a So this is just
[9:08] qualifications. So there won't be any
[9:12] value.
[9:14] >> All right. So the first one is from
[9:17] North Florida Professional Services Inc.
[9:20] Lake City, Florida.
[9:27] » [clears throat]
[9:33] » It would be myself, Melody Cox, and Hank
[9:36] Evans. And I would anticipate that we
[9:40] would consider maybe entering into
[9:43] continuing contracts with both of these
[9:46] firms. Um so that we can and you know
[9:49] we'll have to negotiate pricing but that
[9:51] way we can we can if we need engineering
[9:56] services we'll have a couple of form of
[9:59] firms to choose from. We can get pricing
[10:02] and issue a task order. But the reason I
[10:06] think we need two different firms is so
[10:09] there's no conflict of interest with
[10:11] any, you know, with any of our scrap and
[10:14] stop projects because one of these firms
[10:17] is already under contract for um for
[10:21] those types of projects.
[10:24] >> Question. Um has
[10:27] >> No, ma'am.
[10:28] >> When has he has he given a date? No. Um,
[10:32] we're maybe looking at the end of
[10:34] January. Um, you know, I think he's
[10:38] trying to make sure that we have
[10:41] something in place
[10:43] before he leaves. Um, is what he told me
[10:47] today. And he has a few more projects
[10:49] he's trying to finish up. He said if he
[10:51] was not assigned any other projects,
[10:54] that was a timeline. So, I don't don't
[10:55] know if that means assigning projects if
[10:58] he'll stay. I don't think so.
[11:01] Maybe [laughter]
[11:03] we have plenty.
[11:06] [clears throat]
[11:06] >> The second request for qualifications
[11:08] was from Lleier.
[11:11] Um, president is John Lleier and it's
[11:15] Live Oak Florida.
[11:18] Second
[11:23] to the board is rather than labor.
[11:27] >> We'll move down to constitution officer.
[11:30] units. Uh item 15 was tabled on item 16,
[11:35] the board to consider awarding
[11:36] professional auditing and accounting
[11:39] services bid to James Moore and company
[11:41] is recommended by the auditor selection
[11:43] committee agenda by Gary Dles clerk.
[11:47] >> Yeah. So the audit selection committee
[11:49] which was a representative of the
[11:51] constitution officers and a member from
[11:52] the board of county commissioners
[11:54] interviewed the three proposals
[11:58] uh groups that sent in a proposal and
[12:00] they were scored according to those uh
[12:03] proposals that were sent out and the um
[12:07] the firm that scored the highest was
[12:10] James Mo & Company. So, the
[12:12] recommendation of that committee is for
[12:13] the board to um award the the uh bid to
[12:20] um James Mo & Company.
[12:21] >> Okay. [clears throat]
[12:22] >> And uh what Mr. Bishop is working on
[12:25] contract, so that'll come back later.
[12:27] But so what we're going to do, what we
[12:29] need you to do is award um the bid to
[12:31] them and and u we're going to execute
[12:34] the engagement letter and then we'll
[12:38] come back with the contract later. Also,
[12:40] Mr. U Brendan and I might mess up his
[12:43] last name. Kendrick Kendrick that close
[12:47] is a representative that is here that
[12:48] we'll be working with. He's here if you
[12:50] have any questions.
[12:52] or discussion from the
[12:54] board?
[12:56] >> All right. If there's nothing else, we
[12:59] will obtain a motion to approve.
[13:01] >> Second motion by Commissioner Figer with
[13:03] a second by Commissioner Ley. All in
[13:05] favor?
[13:08] » Thank you, sir.
[13:09] >> Appreciate it. Looking forward to
[13:10] working with y'all.
[13:11] >> Thank you. Take care.
[13:13] >> All right. [clears throat] Move down to
[13:14] general business. Uh item 17. The board
[13:17] to consider the memorial designation of
[13:18] First Avenue
[13:21] to First Freedom Avenue
[13:24] by Commissioner Newman.
[13:26] >> Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Have been
[13:28] talking with the American Legion in
[13:30] Sting Hatch Post 291 there. Um, for
[13:34] folks that may not be aware, uh, during
[13:37] Memorial Day and Veterans Day, our
[13:40] American Legion does place crosses and
[13:44] flags.
[13:45] We have some pictures of those for those
[13:47] that are not aware. And so, in our
[13:50] conversation, discussion, they would
[13:53] like to dedicate First Avenue. You can
[13:56] see the construction going on there
[13:58] also, which is about to be a wrap. And
[14:00] we thank the Lord for that. Thank our
[14:02] staff and all involved. What you see
[14:05] here um you know these these pictures
[14:08] really say more than I could as far as
[14:11] um what this means and how we certainly
[14:15] want to honor each of these individuals
[14:18] and all our veterans of course. So in
[14:22] the conversation that we've had they
[14:23] have asked for this designation.
[14:26] Um this will not change and we talked
[14:29] this with staff and I believe Mr. Bishop
[14:31] was also brought in on that that it
[14:34] wouldn't change the 911 addresses or
[14:37] cause any confusion or things of that nature, but this would just be a
[14:42] way to
[14:44] partner with the American Legion
[14:46] honoring [clears throat] our veterans
[14:47] with this designation. So absolutely we
[14:50] support doing that but we need I believe
[14:53] a resolution for the board to be able to
[14:58] first avenue kind of the name would be
[15:01] first avenue just be a memorial sign.
[15:03] >> Absolutely. So um you know we see these
[15:05] things in in a number of places but you
[15:08] know the the significance here you know
[15:11] with the work that's already that's been
[15:13] ongoing and I have talked with the
[15:14] commander even as late as today he
[15:16] wasn't able to be here because of
[15:17] another meeting but the legion has been
[15:21] doing this this um or carrying out this
[15:24] honor
[15:26] per
[15:28] manner since 2018.
[15:30] I believe they started with around 80 or
[15:34] so and they're over 600 at this point.
[15:37] So, and and continuing to grow. So, this
[15:42] is this is a real real dedication. And
[15:45] for folks that haven't been there or
[15:46] seen that, please take the time on
[15:49] Memorial Day. It's about a week prior to
[15:53] Veterans Day or Memorial Day that these
[15:56] are out. And it's it's it's just a way
[16:00] to, you know, honor their service and
[16:04] honor their families and dedication and
[16:06] sacrifice that they have.
[16:09] >> Any uh questions for Commissioner?
[16:13] Yes, sir.
[16:16] Motion to approve tonight. We need a
[16:18] motion to approve. I'd make a motion
[16:21] >> to move forward with the counselor
[16:24] putting forth a resolution that we
[16:26] >> to memorialize first.
[16:32] » Yes. And um so there is a conceptual
[16:35] sign and we'll we'll work staff is the
[16:37] one that has a copy of that. She's just
[16:39] received it this evening. So we'll see
[16:42] what those costs may be and we'll see
[16:45] that those get taken care of.
[16:48] Second motion
[16:51] discussion. We got a motion by
[16:52] Commissioner N, seconded by Commissioner
[16:54] Noody. All in favor?
[16:57] >> All right, we'll go to county staff item
[17:01] 18. The board to consider approval
[17:03] obtained orders to the contract for
[17:05] demolition and new construction work
[17:07] through the HHRP program is identical
[17:10] Melody Cox branch writer.
[17:14] >> Hey everybody.
[17:14] >> Hey Mel.
[17:17] Happy new year to you all.
[17:21] Um, [clears throat] this change order is
[17:22] for two different tones. One is for the
[17:25] home of Kathy Miller in the amount of
[17:28] $1,588.
[17:31] The second change order is for Joy Le in
[17:34] the amount of $2,367.
[17:38] We do have sufficient funding and set
[17:40] aside funds in HHRP
[17:43] to fund these projects. They will not
[17:45] interfere with any of the other [snorts]
[17:48] housing projects.
[17:49] >> No.
[17:50] >> All right.
[17:52] Motion by Commissioner Fel. Second.
[17:54] >> Second.
[17:55] by Commissioner Lou. All in
[17:56] favor?
[17:59] >> All right. Now we'll move on to item 19
[18:02] here. the board to approve first
[18:04] amendment to G consortium subreipient
[18:08] agreement number 22037102
[18:12] uh 01 to increase original budget by
[18:15] $726,54
[18:18] for the rehabilitation of Hodgees Park
[18:20] with pot three restor funds by me cop
[18:27] you know we um requested the budget
[18:30] increase to be able to um hire an
[18:34] engineering firm with design build
[18:36] services and to increase the resiliency
[18:40] of the material used at the park site.
[18:43] I'm sure yall looked over that grant
[18:47] agreement um budget amendment and
[18:50] there's a lot of strength to this no
[18:53] more strength than the other grants.
[18:56] It's just um you know we've got a lot to
[18:59] do on this. the um the pre-construction
[19:03] uh information we need to provide it is
[19:07] will be a process and I don't want to
[19:09] explain anybody by thinking oh gosh we
[19:12] have the money we'll have the park in a
[19:14] few months that will not be the case um
[19:18] we will thank as quickly as possible we
[19:21] will get the design build documents
[19:23] [clears throat] ready to advertise for
[19:25] an engineer project but it is the
[19:29] process like anything to do with
[19:31] treasury. Last year we submitted this
[19:34] budget amendment January 22nd, 2025.
[19:38] We had it approved finally in December,
[19:41] which was 11 months. However, they
[19:45] cautioned us it takes 12 to 18 months to
[19:48] get anything approved. So, we actually
[19:50] did really really good about getting
[19:52] this amendment approved. Um today Miss
[19:55] Wanda and I did follow up with them on
[19:58] what we would need to do if in in if by
[20:02] any case there's a budget shortfall due
[20:06] to onizing
[20:07] [clears throat]
[20:08] we know what to do there to do things
[20:10] along but we will get this part going as
[20:13] soon as we possibly can. But the great
[20:15] news is we um have the money to move
[20:18] forward and we have approval to expend
[20:22] some of that funding for the bond build.
[20:26] >> Mr. chair. [clears throat]
[20:28] I don't know which storm it was, but one
[20:30] of the storms um and it could have been
[20:33] the last storm took out, excuse
[20:35] [clears throat] me, took out the sign
[20:37] that was there. And that sign has been
[20:40] there for many years of the
[20:43] commissioners that were
[20:46] uh seated I guess during the I don't
[20:51] know if it was one of the renovations or
[20:53] if it was the or what it was but there
[20:57] were five commissioners names on the
[21:00] sign there. You probably all remember
[21:02] that and I've got a picture of it
[21:04] somewhere. Um, and so I would like to
[21:08] know, Melody, if if there's enough of
[21:11] money in this um amount right here that
[21:16] we can replace that sign. And also um I
[21:21] would like to see
[21:24] the original commissioners on there and
[21:26] then I would like to see the
[21:27] commissioners names that are
[21:30] [cough and clears throat] seated um that
[21:33] when we voted to renovate the park.
[21:39] We could not use these funds for that
[21:42] because that part organization was
[21:45] funded with a spurback grant and that's
[21:48] why actually funded the sign in the
[21:50] beginning. However, we haven't set aside
[21:55] um the board of art money um that we
[21:59] received through um license plate
[22:01] funding. We had that set aside for the
[22:03] last five years for this. and we were
[22:06] going to be doing a coastal type statue.
[22:11] I will check on the guidelines and
[22:14] possibly we could use um some of that
[22:18] funding to do, you know, I don't want to
[22:23] use the word fier, but a standard art
[22:26] type for um sign um with that funding
[22:32] because we do have
[22:34] $100,
[22:36] but I think I think as long as we did it
[22:39] in um an art kind of way that we should
[22:44] use the funds for that. But but let me
[22:47] check into it and we can you know we'll
[22:50] figure out some way to pay pay for that.
[22:54] But I think, like I said, we probably if
[22:57] we do have a um a fancy art kind of sign
[23:02] that does include the commission
[23:05] committee that we can use that funding.
[23:08] >> I I this is very important to me
[23:12] particularly the commissioners uh the original sign and the the
[23:18] commissioner's names that were on that
[23:20] sign. That's very important to me.
[23:24] And then when did we begin this
[23:27] renovation? Was it like in 17?
[23:31] When did you and I and Kenneth and
[23:34] Lwanda sit down in
[23:36] um
[23:38] >> 2017
[23:39] >> 17. Okay. And we can look back and see
[23:42] who the commissioners were because we it
[23:46] came through the board and we voted on
[23:47] that. So I think that's important to
[23:50] have have that also.
[23:53] Thank you.
[23:54] >> All right. Any other questions or
[23:56] discussion on this item from the board?
[24:00] No other questions or discussion. We'll
[24:01] obtain a motion to approve.
[24:02] >> Motion by second by Commission D. All in
[24:06] favor
[24:10] administrator items.
[24:12] >> Thank you.
[24:13] Me.
[24:17] » Just a couple of items. I wanted to make
[24:19] the board aware that um I am continuing
[24:23] the solid waste ordinance review and
[24:26] some of the associated contracts. I will
[24:29] try to get that complete by the next
[24:32] board meeting so we can bring that up
[24:33] back to the board.
[24:35] >> [snorts]
[24:35] >> Um, also I would anticipate that
[24:38] hopefully the project award for North
[24:42] Florida will be made possibly this week
[24:45] for our CDBGDR
[24:47] um grant applications. [clears throat]
[24:49] As you recall, we had a lot of projects
[24:52] that we submitted and we are very
[24:54] hopeful that we will I mean we want all
[24:57] of them to be awarded, but I don't know
[24:59] that that's going to happen. But we will
[25:01] hopefully know something possibly this
[25:04] week. Um that announcement was supposed
[25:07] to be made before Christmas and was
[25:10] delayed. So um we're just keeping our
[25:13] fingers crossed on on those awards.
[25:20] » Comments and concerns from the public
[25:22] for agenda items.
[25:26] Okay.
[25:33] Jim Zerber from Stein Hashing. I didn't
[25:35] wear this shirt about the highway called
[25:38] Freedom Highway, but for purpose, right?
[25:40] Uh First Avenue. Remember when we all
[25:43] went through that and there people said,
[25:45] "Hey, we just need to bring out some
[25:46] resurfacing and throw that asphalt out
[25:48] there and roll it out." That project is
[25:51] immense. a project that is far greater
[25:54] than I I pay attention but I guarantee
[25:57] any of you that would go down there and
[25:59] say wow all the driveway entrances the
[26:03] you know from Matty's was destroyed the
[26:05] culvers the piping it's it's far far
[26:10] more involved and uh so my hats off we
[26:14] got it and of course they still got a
[26:16] lot they still got some work to do but u
[26:19] we're very proud of it thank you.
[26:24] >> Anyone else?
[26:33] » Million dollar.
[26:35] [laughter]
[26:36] >> I'm hearing million. I heard you say
[26:37] million. I don't have any billion.
[26:39] Million dollar.
[26:40] >> Okay, good. You want a more professional
[26:42] items? Commissioner Fagel.
[26:44] >> Yes. Um, I hope everybody made it
[26:47] through the holidays uh healthy. I know.
[26:50] There were a lot of sick people. Uh
[26:53] pretty much everybody in our family was
[26:55] touched but uh with some sort of
[26:58] illness. But um hopefully that's about
[27:02] done with. I know Bob you had some
[27:06] something too.
[27:09] And um so anyway again I wish everybody
[27:12] a happy new year and I look forward to
[27:14] this year.
[27:18] Where can we go?
[27:21] Yes. Thank constituents for their
[27:23] support and they batter you have to make
[27:26] us a better commission.
[27:32] » I do appreciate board support for our
[27:35] partnership with the American Legion. I
[27:37] think it's some video
[27:39] very good action here to you know to
[27:43] dedicate that that mayor
[27:47] come alongside not just talk about that
[27:50] show our commitment to
[27:53] service
[27:55] appreciate that thankful for you know
[27:57] partnership with the legion and all
[28:00] those folks patient [clears throat]
[28:03] we did you know start this discussion
[28:05] for
[28:06] >> [snorts]
[28:06] >> um the construction project was was
[28:10] what I would say at a close point in in
[28:13] completion and so we we didn't want to
[28:15] you know be in the midst of all that but
[28:17] hopefully with the timing of this and
[28:19] the completion
[28:22] seemed
[28:23] resolution and dedication service
[28:33] everybody Happy New Year and we're
[28:36] blessed to be here for another Thank
[28:39] you.
[28:40] >> All right. Well, there is I got one.
[28:46] I got good news. Um, and I'd like to
[28:50] thank
[28:52] our county administrator for her hard
[28:54] work on this and especially also our
[28:57] county engineer the hard work. Uh, we
[29:00] won the Pygot case.
[29:04] Now
[29:05] we want it and um they have 15 days to
[29:11] file a motion for rehearing.
[29:13] Uh don't know whether they will or not.
[29:16] Uh and then after that they would have
[29:19] 30 days to appeal. Um
[29:23] and I don't know whether they're going
[29:24] to do that. [clears throat and cough]
[29:26] And what this means is that we had filed
[29:30] an offer of judgment [snorts]
[29:33] for $10,000
[29:36] and of course they got zero and that
[29:40] means a goodly portion of attorney's
[29:42] fees that uh that we paid um Mr. Tommy Ree who did
[29:51] a wonderful job in this case also. So,
[29:55] we've got a shot at getting attorney's
[29:58] fees back and also some costs. And what
[30:02] are costs? Uh, county had to pay uh for
[30:07] depositions because we took depositions
[30:09] in the case and we had them transcribed.
[30:12] Um, we also uh paid uh for our portion
[30:18] of the mediator when we mediated it. Um,
[30:22] so it's uh it's really good news and I
[30:28] appreciate y'all, especially y'all the
[30:32] board of backing us on this and saying
[30:35] we're not going to let
[30:37] us be sued without a fight. And believe
[30:42] me, we fought because what happened is
[30:48] on the first motion
[30:50] that we filed for summary judgement and
[30:53] they filed one, the court granted theirs
[30:56] and I went nuts.
[30:58] [laughter]
[30:59] How could that happen?
[31:01] So we filed a motion for rehearing on
[31:03] that and the court reversed itself and
[31:07] then we filed a new motion for summary
[31:09] judgement and uh the court granted it
[31:12] and what that means is we won hands
[31:14] down. So that for the public it's fully
[31:18] cut off rather than you know. So and
[31:21] that thing started [clears throat] like
[31:23] five years ago
[31:25] >> and
[31:28] it was going to be the death of me but I
[31:30] lived through it.
[31:32] >> Are they still in business?
[31:34] >> Yes.
[31:35] >> Are they still in business?
[31:38] >> As far as I know.
[31:39] >> Yeah they are.
[31:40] >> I've seen them paving in other places.
[31:44] I think the city might have granted him
[31:46] one.
[31:47] >> He did.
[31:48] >> I don't know. Um, [snorts]
[31:51] but I want to tell you that uh and and really your engineer was just really
[31:58] good good on this. He's one that you you
[32:03] worked very hard on it. Uh it was kind
[32:06] of a team effort. Um was Landa and
[32:10] [clears throat] me and um and uh
[32:14] Kenneth and then of course Tommy coming
[32:16] in who I have the utmost respect for. So
[32:22] like I said it's fun to give you good
[32:24] news.
[32:25] >> Yeah.
[32:26] >> Thank you. Thank you very much.
[32:27] >> Yes sir. We'll keep you informed on
[32:29] whether they appeal or not.
[32:32] >> All right.
[32:35] >> Nothing else. We'll obtain a motion to
[32:36] journ
[32:41] by Mr. T. All in favor?
[32:52] a contract on the
