00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:48,000
» I pledge allegiance to the flag of the

17
00:13:57,839 --> 00:14:07,360
Um at this time u we as we run into our

24
00:14:34,079 --> 00:14:43,279
» Uh no ma'am there are not. These were

25
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:48,560
it was the Davis trucking. They reszoned
it. Um and we are just needing u any

» 40. Okay. Thank you. [clears throat] Now
our new business

34
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:23,120
and uh we have Mr. Justin Tabour and
>> yeah, good morning chair and other

35
00:15:21,519 --> 00:15:27,440
members of the board. Uh thank you'all
for having us here this morning. Uh I'm

36
00:15:25,519 --> 00:15:33,040
Brandon Stubs. I'm the planning and GIS
manager for NFPS and this is Justin

37
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:38,320
Taber and we're going to go over the
subdivision regulations.

38
00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:43,199
uh amendment. Um as y'all are aware, uh
we had a workshop back in February 3rd

39
00:15:41,199 --> 00:15:46,959
of 2026
um where we met with y'all and reviewed

40
00:15:44,959 --> 00:15:53,199
all the proposed changes. That was the
ones that were, you know, being proposed

41
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:57,759
now and and in the future um after
Senate Bill 180. Um potential amen

42
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:01,600
amendments discussed in the workshop
include revisions to several items

43
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:06,240
including updates to [clears throat]
address statutory changes establish

44
00:16:03,759 --> 00:16:11,040
master planning and phase planning uh
establish uh requirements for

45
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:14,959
subdivision of land in certain instances
uh clarifying utility connection

46
00:16:12,959 --> 00:16:18,581
requirements and establishing
requirements for inspection for new

47
00:16:16,639 --> 00:16:22,560
infrastructure.
[clears throat]

48
00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:28,480
Um at the conclusion of that workshop um
it was uh proceeded by the board that we

49
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:34,000
would um identify the amendments that
could be adopted uh under one Senate

50
00:16:30,959 --> 00:16:37,440
Bill 180 and those that could not. Um,
and if you recall, Senate Bill 180

51
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:41,839
precludes the local government from
proposing or adopting an amendment to

52
00:16:39,839 --> 00:16:46,000
its comprehensive plan or LDRs that is
more restrictive or burdensome or

53
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:51,040
proposing or adopting a more restrictive
or burdensome procedure concerning a

54
00:16:48,399 --> 00:16:57,360
review or approval. Um, so that's what
we've done. We've gone through all the

55
00:16:53,440 --> 00:17:03,519
proposed changes. we identified um and
confirmed with your county attorney uh

56
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:09,016
which uh changes we could you know make
and felt like that were we're were not

57
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:14,079
more burdensome and then that's
[clears throat] what we're proposing

58
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:18,640
here today and then once we get back to
you know not under control on Senate

59
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:22,160
Bill 180 we'll come back to this board
with the additional changes that the

60
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:27,360
board requested at this time I'll turn
over to Mr. Taber.

61
00:17:25,039 --> 00:17:31,840
» So again, as uh Mr. Stepp said, my name
is Justin Taber. I'm a senior planner

62
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:35,200
within FPS. Um so as he just noted, uh
what we are proposing uh we believe is

63
00:17:33,679 --> 00:17:40,559
compliant with Senate Bill 180 based
upon our review and uh consultation with

64
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:45,200
your uh legal staff. Uh so we do believe
that we're in compliance with that. Um

65
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:48,559
primarily, uh there are three areas that
we're addressing as uh more substantive

66
00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:52,240
changes. Uh one is compliance with
Senate Bill 784, which I'll get into in

67
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:56,000
just a moment. Um and then the other two
points are clarification of your

68
00:17:53,360 --> 00:18:03,039
existing current procedures and also
clarifi clarification of existing text.

69
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:07,440
Uh so moving on to Senate Bill 784.
Uh this particular uh bill required that

70
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:11,919
local governments must review, process
and approve plat or replat submitts

71
00:18:09,919 --> 00:18:15,840
without any direct approval by the
board. It's now an administrative

72
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:19,120
process. Uh so what we are proposing is
that your LDR administrator will be

73
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:22,559
designated as the administrative
authority that would be reviewing final

74
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:26,080
plats. You'll still continue to see
preliminary plats on larger

75
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:29,360
developments. Uh so that will still
continue to go through that process.

76
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:34,720
There will be a public process but the
final plat process is more ministerial.

77
00:18:31,679 --> 00:18:38,160
Uh at that point things are pretty uh in
place with the plat. So I believe that's

78
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:43,200
really the intention of the statutory
change.

79
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:47,760
Uh moving on uh next uh more significant
change uh we are proposing to uh more

80
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:51,919
clearly define your lot split
procedures. Uh with this we would be

81
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:56,559
establishing a specific procedure for
lot splits uh creating an exception uh

82
00:18:55,039 --> 00:19:01,760
which would allow the division of a
single lot and this would be limited to

83
00:18:59,039 --> 00:19:06,000
creating no more than two lots. Uh the
current process is somewhat in your code

84
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:11,039
but it's not really fleshed out
completely. So this would make it more

85
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,039
of a defined process.

86
00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:16,960
Uh moving on to the approval of
construction plans. This kind of uh

87
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:22,240
lines up with the Senate Bill 784
changes uh and would be comparable to

88
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:25,760
that but at a more local level. Uh we're
proposing to change the approving entity

89
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:30,400
for construction plans from the
commission to the LDR administrator. Uh

90
00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:33,520
your construction plans are the
administrative draw or the uh

91
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:38,160
construction drawings for the
subdivision. So, they're engineered

92
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:44,160
drawings, uh, very technical and not
really something that gets to the level

93
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:47,039
per se of, uh, policy decision. Um, and
that's also fairly common across the

94
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:50,400
state that construction plans are
usually administratively approved. So,

95
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:55,080
we're proposing that to put you more in
line with, uh, with your peers.

96
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:04,320
And, uh, at this time, uh, I'll let Mr.
Stubs addressed the compliance with

97
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:09,400
human development regulations and the
specific uh provisions that are there.

98
00:20:09,798 --> 00:20:14,720
[laughter]
[clears throat]

99
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:21,360
So, excuse me. Uh compliance with your
LDRs begins with section 16.2.2.

100
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:26,720
Uh it sets forth criteria for which uh
amending the text of LDRs. Um when

101
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:30,960
pertaining to the proposed ordinance of
the LDRs, the planning zoning board

102
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:35,039
shall consider one the need and
justification for the change to the

103
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:40,880
relationship of the proposed amendment
to the pro uh purpose and objectives of

104
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:45,679
the comprehensive plan and then with
consideration as whether proposed change

105
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:48,960
would further the purpose of the LDRs
and other ordinances, regulations and

106
00:20:47,679 --> 00:20:55,440
the action designed [snorts] to
implement the comprehensive plan. Um,

107
00:20:53,039 --> 00:20:58,720
two, respond to the uh or excuse me,
three, respond to change of conditions

108
00:20:57,360 --> 00:21:04,000
within the county subdivision
regulations to provide commonly accepted

109
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:08,080
and typically pro uh provisions to
provide and implement procedures for the

110
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:13,679
land division of land and address
changes in statutory requirement. Ensure

111
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:19,280
county uh subdivision regulations are in
line with Florida statute.

112
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:23,600
So,
where's this all come from? It all comes

113
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:28,320
from chapter 163 Florida statutes which
requires that the local governments

114
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:33,039
establish um procedures for the
subdivision of land. Uh the

115
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:37,520
comprehensive plans required to include
provisions which discourage or

116
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:41,120
proliferates urban sprawl and standards
and criteria set forward in LDR are

117
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:46,320
related to the regulation of
subdivisions of land and are the

118
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:50,559
components is discouraging the
proliferation of urban sprawl. And

119
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:54,960
lastly, based upon these amendments, the
C to ensure the county subdivision

120
00:21:52,720 --> 00:22:02,320
regulations are appropriately addressed
in uh the proliferation of urban sprawl.

121
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:06,000
U staff's recommendation this morning is
to approve the proposed amendment

122
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:09,559
scheduled the second public hearing for
September 22nd.

123
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:16,080
And if you have any questions, we're
here to certainly answer them. if you

124
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:19,360
have any specific questions about the
text changes.

125
00:22:17,679 --> 00:22:25,280
» Okay. Um [clears throat]
just in what you quickly uh outlined for

126
00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:30,559
us then it would uh shift the
administrative review for the plaques to

127
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:36,400
the the administrators of the
professional services and also for the

128
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:38,880
review of the construction um
that would be taking place.

129
00:22:37,919 --> 00:22:43,840
» Correct. So that would be
administratively. So that would be

130
00:22:41,039 --> 00:22:49,600
reviewed by your county surveyor, your
county engineer, your staff. And so it'd

131
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:54,320
be reviewed in for compliance with not
only sound engineer practices, storm

132
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:59,440
water and all that that's within your
land development regulations, but for

133
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:04,559
you know uh co- compliance within your
LDRs for planning matters as well. And

134
00:23:02,799 --> 00:23:10,240
that you indicated that that would make
it consistent with what other

135
00:23:06,559 --> 00:23:15,440
surrounding um counties are doing.
>> Correct. Yes, ma'am. And uh it's pretty

136
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:21,440
typical that um preliminary plat do go
before um boards and commissions um just

137
00:23:19,039 --> 00:23:27,200
because you're approving the whole
concept of the layout, right? So the the

138
00:23:23,919 --> 00:23:33,120
the board has a little bit of say in the
preliminary phasing of subdivision that

139
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:39,440
would give you the u option to make
comments or um changes to a preliminary

140
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:44,080
plat. Then once that's established then
they apply for the construction plans

141
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:50,640
which is just a like Mr. Taber said a
technical document that is an engineered

142
00:23:47,039 --> 00:23:56,640
set of plans that it's it's black and
white really. You got all your standards

143
00:23:53,600 --> 00:24:01,840
for design are in your LDRs.
Um whether it be storm water, streets

144
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:07,120
and roads, the grading, paving, how wide
the road is, how what the subbase is. I

145
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:12,240
mean, every technical aspect of design
is in your LDRs. And so essentially what

146
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:16,240
that document, the construction plans is
is just reviewing to make sure that they

147
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:20,159
meet all those technical specifications.
And those are specifications that this

148
00:24:17,919 --> 00:24:24,240
county has designed to protect the
county and its citizens from having to

149
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:28,480
go back and have faulty roads being
paved and just them somebody going out

150
00:24:26,799 --> 00:24:33,120
there and just doing a terrible job at
paving, right? So, we don't want um the

151
00:24:31,919 --> 00:24:37,679
county don't want to have to accept
roads that 5 years down the road is

152
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:42,000
going to have to go and repave again. So
um that's where all your technical

153
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:47,760
standards come from is sound engineering
practices and standards that make for

154
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:52,762
longevity of roads and streets.
>> Okay. Um the board you have any question

155
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,480
u for Mr. Stubs or Mr. Tabler?
[clears throat]

156
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:59,039
» Commissioner I have a question.
>> Sure. Mhm.

157
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:04,720
» So Brandon, in the um when we talk about
the roads and the standards for the

158
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:09,200
roads, was there a separation between
seasonal high and the base material so

159
00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:12,720
that there was not like again like you
said, somebody coming in and just

160
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:17,200
putting down, you know, prepping a
subgrade and then putting down, you

161
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:21,840
know, 8 in of lime rock and then, you
know, having that water infiltrate into,

162
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:26,320
you know, the base material and degrade
the base material. Was there something

163
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:29,919
in there that was uh you kind of a
guideline for that?

164
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:33,760
» No sir, but that would also be something
that would be representative within your

165
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:38,559
storm water calcs and in your storm
water requirements. So it may not, you

166
00:25:37,120 --> 00:25:43,840
know, have a certain standard like you
have to be so many inches above the mean

167
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:49,120
high water table. But obviously if
you're building a subbasin below the

168
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:54,720
mean high water table, you're going to
have comp compaction issues. So, I think

169
00:25:52,159 --> 00:26:00,400
what really addresses that is if when
you have like a LB40 compaction rating,

170
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:04,480
you're not going to get that if the if
you're grading down and you're putting

171
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:07,840
lime rock in the middle of water, it
just ain't going to happen. So, the the

172
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:11,760
engineering would automatically have to
build that

173
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:16,480
» road up in order to meet um certain
criteria for compaction and um you know,

174
00:26:15,279 --> 00:26:20,159
the thickness of the base.
>> We just we have existing roads that are

175
00:26:18,159 --> 00:26:24,240
like that. And that's why I was asking
because, you know, there's

176
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:27,440
» once that lime rock starts to fail, then
you start to have your potholes and

177
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:31,279
everything else. And so, you know, and
and we're seeing that. So, and those are

178
00:26:29,919 --> 00:26:35,279
roads that, you know, we're having to
put money back into.

179
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:38,000
» And so, again, just wanted to know if
there was anything that that you

180
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:41,600
specifically had in there. I know other
counties do have a separation like a

181
00:26:39,679 --> 00:26:44,320
twoft separation. So,
>> just didn't know if you had come across

182
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:48,080
anything like that. So,
>> No, sir.

183
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:51,919
personally never seen that in in in a
code, but not saying that. Uh like I

184
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:56,559
said, I'm sure there are people that put
that in there, but typically when you're

185
00:26:53,760 --> 00:27:01,840
doing your storm water plans, you have
to establish what that high water table

186
00:26:59,039 --> 00:27:05,279
is based upon your soil borings and all
that. And you know, good sound

187
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:09,279
engineering practice. If you're
reviewing that, you're going to see that

188
00:27:06,799 --> 00:27:13,279
in their storm water calcs what the mean
high water table is going to be and be

189
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:18,080
able to look at that elevation versus
your lime rock base elevation. So, um

190
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:22,480
it's something that would definitely
have to be reviewed by an engineer and

191
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:27,039
make sure that that separation is there.
>> So, that goes back to the review from

192
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:31,919
the um I guess from the administrator
then and then also the uh design team.

193
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:35,840
» Correct. Your your whoever your review
engineer would probably be the best to

194
00:27:33,679 --> 00:27:39,520
review that. Okay. All right. Thank you.
>> Yes, sir.

195
00:27:36,799 --> 00:27:44,480
» Any other questions by the board?
>> Okay. I've got one.

196
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:49,200
» While we're redoing our LDRs, is there
any way we could put something in here

197
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:54,000
to protect us from data centers?
>> Um, well,

198
00:27:52,000 --> 00:28:00,159
data centers getting into a touchy
subject. Um, so I'll kind of go through

199
00:27:57,120 --> 00:28:06,640
what I have learned about data centers.
Yes, we can we can review your LDRs and

200
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:14,880
we can come up and draft um sound
regulations to address data centers. Um

201
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:20,640
and it's my understanding that currently
your LDRs have nothing that address it.

202
00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:25,279
So, um, if you looked at the LDRs from
the strictest sense, that means data

203
00:28:22,799 --> 00:28:30,799
centers are not permissible within the
county because it's not defined in your

204
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:36,960
LDRs and there's no provisions for
permitting one. Um, so it would be kind

205
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:42,320
of hard now to approve a data center
because the way your code's written. So,

206
00:28:39,919 --> 00:28:46,720
with Senate Bill 180, it says you can't
do anything more restrictive or

207
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:51,679
burdensome. However, I would argue that
if you are actually drafting regulations

208
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:56,480
to allow
data centers under certain circumstances

209
00:28:54,640 --> 00:29:01,200
with these certain regulations, I would
say it would be less burdensome because

210
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:05,919
now you're actually allowing them versus
not allowing them before. So, I think

211
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:10,320
there's an argument to get away with um
creating regulations for data centers,

212
00:29:08,399 --> 00:29:14,080
but uh ultimately I would leave that
interpretation up to your county

213
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:21,279
attorney.
>> Okay. Okay. Any other questions from the

214
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:27,279
board? Okay. Uh at this time we have um
public comment. Um

215
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:30,320
let's
open it up for public comments. M

216
00:29:29,279 --> 00:29:35,320
» Thank you, gentlemen.
>> Thank you. Um Mr. Paul Steel

217
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:51,120
Paul Steel 14167 Southwest 101st Avenue
Stark. I'm a little confused because um

218
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:57,840
this item was as far as I can tell I I
was never able to find an agenda and I

219
00:29:54,320 --> 00:30:03,600
saw no notice that what this uh event
was. So if that notice was not

220
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:08,720
published, I'm not sure you are in fact
in compliance with the sunshine law. But

221
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:16,159
more importantly, there are some I find
uh the information that was presented by

222
00:30:12,159 --> 00:30:24,080
the consultant in an August 4th, 2026
memo that is actually on the uh county's

223
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:31,919
uh planning and zoning website. uh
somewhat confusing and one of the issues

224
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:35,600
is that uh they are uh switching uh the
approval from the board of county

225
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:41,039
commissions to the county manager. I
think this is a bad idea. I think the

226
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:46,640
final plat approval should come be still
be with you the the county commissioner.

227
00:30:43,679 --> 00:30:51,440
So I'd hope you would revisit that.
Uh

228
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:55,360
the note that they say uh goes with that
says that this was required by the

229
00:30:53,279 --> 00:31:01,600
Senate bill 784. I don't believe that's
what 784 requires.

230
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:10,080
The problem is that as you go through
the document then uh you have uh the

231
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:14,960
county manager is actually uh almost
never included in the land development

232
00:31:11,919 --> 00:31:20,159
regulations with respect to being
involved with these decisions and so

233
00:31:17,679 --> 00:31:24,000
it's not real clear how this process is
going to work.

234
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:29,200
The other really significant change is
this new committee that's that's

235
00:31:25,679 --> 00:31:33,039
recommended in the uh uh what's being
proposed to you but there is no

236
00:31:31,279 --> 00:31:39,120
information about how that committee
will be formed, how that uh committee

237
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:46,080
will uh uh function and who is going to
be on that committee. So I would urge

238
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:52,480
you to uh in fact table this and see if
you can get some clarifications about

239
00:31:47,919 --> 00:32:02,080
some of these items. The uh
other issue that uh

240
00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:07,200
is that at one point they say the u
they're talking about uh compliance uh

241
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:14,320
with the comprehensive plan. The
comprehensive plan policy uh V3.2 two uh

242
00:32:12,799 --> 00:32:18,159
states, "The county shall submit
proposed subdivision plats to the soil

243
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:23,120
and water conservation district and
request the district's review and

244
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:27,440
comments regarding topographic
hydraologic vegetative cover factory in

245
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:31,519
order to identify procedures for the
protection and conservation of the

246
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:37,840
natural functions of soils by the
proposed development. This is not

247
00:32:33,679 --> 00:32:41,919
referenced in the material that uh
the proposal that's currently before

248
00:32:39,679 --> 00:32:47,279
you. It's actually important that you
you need to go in and amend your

249
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:51,120
comprehensive plan to rem to delete that
provision.

250
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:56,000
» Thank you, Mr. Steel.
Okay. Um,

251
00:32:54,480 --> 00:33:01,200
» you like to address?
>> Yeah. So, the administrative function

252
00:32:57,919 --> 00:33:06,399
that is a part of Senate Bill 754,
nothing we can do about that. State

253
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:11,039
statute now preempts that. So, um, this
board a while back had adopted a

254
00:33:08,399 --> 00:33:15,519
resolution adopting Mr. Scott Cornnegay
as the county manager as the LDR

255
00:33:12,559 --> 00:33:20,000
administrator and in that um, it makes
him the design. So, that's why we put it

256
00:33:17,919 --> 00:33:26,240
in there, but he can delegate that
authority to um, the LDR administrator

257
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:31,760
uh, function to the planning director or
uh, who he sees fit. So, yes, that is a

258
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:36,000
proper channel regarding the issue with
the comp plan. As you know, we are

259
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:38,880
currently amending your comp plan and
that is one of the things that is

260
00:33:37,279 --> 00:33:45,360
actually being stricken from the comp
plan because it is out of compliance

261
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:49,679
with um a ruling back in 2012 um where
the state statute says you cannot rely

262
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:54,159
on any other government authority or
approvals before you issue your local

263
00:33:52,159 --> 00:33:59,120
government approval. In other words, you
no longer can you rely on uh requiring

264
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:02,559
the water management district to approve
something before you approve it. So

265
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:06,480
that's going to be stricken because
that's a viol it violates floor statute

266
00:34:04,559 --> 00:34:10,720
anyways under current standards. But
we're in the process amending your comp

267
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:17,679
plan. So that'll come later on. Um and
regarding uh the last issue was the

268
00:34:16,079 --> 00:34:21,760
um I'm sorry I couldn't remember the
second issue here.

269
00:34:20,079 --> 00:34:25,520
» Oh the committee. Yeah you already have
that established. That committee is been

270
00:34:24,079 --> 00:34:30,800
established. You already got rules,
regulations and procedures for the TRC

271
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:36,320
committee. And so that is uh a committee
that is made up with the county

272
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:41,359
manager's discretion of uh county staff
and um you know who he sees fit to

273
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:46,159
review like your public works, your
roads department, your infrastructure,

274
00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:53,280
your planning and all that is makes up
the um TRC. So that that committee is um

275
00:34:50,720 --> 00:34:55,839
again under the delegation of the county
manager.

276
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,079
» Okay. [laughter]
Um, and next we had

277
00:34:57,989 --> 00:35:04,200
» [clears throat]
>> um, Miss Betty Bennett, I think.

278
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:13,520
» Is it do do you want to speak on this
zoning or or later?

279
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:19,920
» Later. Okay. Thank you. Any other public
comments uh, at this time regarding um,

280
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:24,760
our current issues?
Oh, Miss Kate Ellis.

281
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:36,960
I just wanted to ask, it sounds like we
um we do have an LDR administrator and

282
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:43,680
that's Scott Corn. I I don't know if
that's the best person or not or best

283
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:50,000
office or not. Um do we have a county
surveyor is my other question.

284
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:56,160
All right. Is that something Mr. Stump
that you can answer? Um Mr. Tableart?

285
00:35:53,119 --> 00:35:59,920
Um, so the the reason why the county
manager is the LDR administrator is

286
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:03,520
because it's actually the county in the
resolution, it's the county manager or

287
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:08,640
his or her design. And the reason why
it's that way is just like recently

288
00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:14,640
you've had um a little bit of turnover
with the planning director. And so if

289
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:19,839
you don't have a planning director
actively in the role, then if you

290
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:22,960
delegated that authority to the U
planning director, then right now you

291
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:28,320
would not have an LDR administrator and
you'd be in a world of trouble. So to

292
00:36:25,599 --> 00:36:33,920
keep things moving and be able to have
that ability to interpret the LDRs and

293
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:38,320
have somebody that has the official
capacity to do that, that's delegated to

294
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:42,720
the county manager. And then when you
have a planning director, then they the

295
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:47,200
county manager can direct that authority
to the planning director in that

296
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:51,280
position. So that's why it's done that
way is you don't ever want to gap if you

297
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:55,520
don't have a planning director because
if you directly make the planning

298
00:36:53,599 --> 00:36:59,599
director and something happens like now,
y'all would be stuck without somebody to

299
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:04,160
be able to actually give people
interpretations of the LDR zoning

300
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:10,400
information. I mean, so it's kind of an
important important position to be able

301
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:16,880
to have that. So you don't want to not
have that um in in this case. So that's

302
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:22,090
that's the primary reason.
>> Okay. And and this is the other part was

303
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:26,560
um having a a surveyor. To my knowledge,
[clears throat] we've had a standing

304
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:29,920
county uh surveyor for years. So is that
has that changed?

305
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:35,119
» Um I'm not aware of that.
>> Okay. All right. Yeah. Okay. Thank you.

306
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:36,880
» All right. Um, those did I hear
something?

307
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:41,920
» No, I just said thanks.
>> Did I miss anyone else's public comments

308
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:47,040
on the zoning? Okay.
All right. If not, I'll ask for you I

309
00:37:45,119 --> 00:37:52,800
guess you all to come back and so we
would um read into

310
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:57,880
um the hearing the resolution uh in
which we will take a vote on just now.

311
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:03,520
An ordinance of the board of county
commissioners of Bradford County,

312
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:06,960
Florida, amending the Bradford County
Land Development Regulations relating to

313
00:38:05,359 --> 00:38:10,320
an amendment to the text of the Bradford
County Land Development Regulations to

314
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:14,400
revise the subdivision regulations that
set for as set forth therein providing

315
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:17,839
for severability repealing all
ordinances in conflict and providing an

316
00:38:16,720 --> 00:38:23,040
effective date.
>> Okay. Uh hearing the resolution, are

317
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:27,359
there any further discussion or
questions? If not, I ask for a motion

318
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:29,839
for approval.
I'll make a motion to approve the

319
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:33,680
ordinance as read by the county
attorney.

320
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:39,760
» Second. A motion by Commissioner Dhy and
second by Commissioner uh Reic um for

321
00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:43,119
the resolution. Um any further questions
or discussion? If not, all in favor by

322
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:49,760
the sign I
>> I any nay? Uh 40. And for the record

323
00:38:47,119 --> 00:38:54,079
again, um we have the four commissioners
here.

324
00:38:51,680 --> 00:39:02,200
Okay.
Uh and moving on to um that was 3A.

325
00:38:58,240 --> 00:39:02,200
Moving on to 3B.

326
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:10,800
» Yes, Madam Chair and other members of
the board. Again, my name is Justin

327
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:15,520
Taber. I'm a senior planner with uh
North Florida Professional Services and

328
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:19,920
we're here um acting on behalf of your
uh zoning department. Uh this

329
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:23,359
presentation will review the next two
items that are on your agenda. Uh there

330
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:26,480
are companion applications. One is a
small scale comprehensive plan

331
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:30,320
amendment. The other is a sight specific
amendment to the official zoning atlas,

332
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:34,240
also known as a resoning. Uh the
property owner is Keystone Heights RV

333
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:39,200
Resort LLC and Tom's High on the Hog
Real Pit BBQ, Inc. Uh these are

334
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:44,079
applications that have been submitted by
Steven Turner, PE of Civil Design

335
00:39:41,839 --> 00:39:48,160
Solutions on behalf of the property
owners. Uh the comprehensive plan

336
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:52,000
amendment application is proposing to
amend the future land use map

337
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:58,480
designation from residential low to
commercial and the resoning application

338
00:39:55,119 --> 00:40:02,720
proposes to amend the zoning from RSF-1
residential single family 1 to

339
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:09,040
commercial intensive. The property is
approximately 7.67 acres in size and is

340
00:40:05,839 --> 00:40:13,560
comprised of three tax parcels. 05542-
0- 0 05542-

341
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:19,880
0- 0 1 0 0 and 05544-002

342
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:28,800
0 0.
Uh the slide presently shows the

343
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:34,240
location of the property. Uh you can see
the blue border um that is outlined

344
00:40:32,240 --> 00:40:39,280
would be the three parcels that I just
uh referenced. Uh and Keystone Heights

345
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:44,240
RV Resort does own the parcel which is
adjacent to the west uh which would be

346
00:40:41,839 --> 00:40:48,079
to the right there.
Uh the next slide shows the existing

347
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:52,240
future land use map designation. Again,
currently this property is residential

348
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:57,280
low. Uh you can see the adjacent parcel
is currently commercial to the west.

349
00:40:55,040 --> 00:41:02,000
Next, this would be the proposed land
use if the amendment was approved. And

350
00:41:00,079 --> 00:41:06,480
then similarly you have the existing
zoning RSF-1

351
00:41:04,319 --> 00:41:11,359
and proposed to go to commercial
intensive.

352
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:15,599
Uh moving into consistency with the
comprehensive plan. Uh we have reviewed

353
00:41:13,599 --> 00:41:19,359
the application both applications for
consistency with your comprehensive

354
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:22,319
plan. uh specific goals, objectives, and
policies that support the application

355
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:26,800
are located within the future land use
element, the traffic circulation

356
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:31,040
element, and the sanitary sewer, solid
waste, portable water, and natural

357
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:34,319
groundwater aquifer recharge element. Uh
a more detailed analysis has been

358
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:36,880
provided within the evaluation and
findings report that we've presented to

359
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:41,520
you, and I'd be happy to answer any
questions on that.

360
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:46,640
Uh moving to compliance with the land
development regulations, section 16.2.2

361
00:41:44,319 --> 00:41:49,680
two of your land development regulations
establish the standards that are

362
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:53,520
applicable when considering resoning
petitions. The reasoning application has

363
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:56,720
been reviewed for compliance with these
standards and we do find that it is

364
00:41:55,119 --> 00:42:00,400
found to comply with all applicable
standards and again the evaluation and

365
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:04,319
findings report provides a detailed
analysis and I'm happy to answer any

366
00:42:02,240 --> 00:42:07,280
questions on that.
So, our recommendation is that you

367
00:42:05,839 --> 00:42:10,880
approve the proposed amendment to the
future land use map designation from

368
00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:14,720
residential low to commercial and
approve the zoning uh change from

369
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:18,160
residential single family one to
commercial intensive.

370
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,839
And that concludes my presentation. I'm
happy to answer any questions you may

371
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:23,760
have.
>> Okay. The board have any questions that

372
00:42:22,739 --> 00:42:27,280
[clears throat] you like to ask?
>> Question.

373
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:33,040
» Okay. At this time, uh we'll open it up
for public um comments at this time. Um

374
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:37,520
Mr. Steel is coming. Excuse me, board
real quick. For record, uh, Leicad in

375
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:42,960
the building and zoning department,
signs were put out, posted, pictures

376
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:44,960
done two weeks prior to this, and posted
online.

377
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:50,960
» Thank you,
>> Madam Chair. I'm sorry I didn't that

378
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:56,079
maybe what I was uh again I did not see
an agenda for this uh this meeting and

379
00:42:54,319 --> 00:43:02,160
whether it was noticed properly and
whether agenda was produced is a

380
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:07,599
question that uh maybe uh what you do
here may be challenged because you

381
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:12,079
didn't meet the requirements uh for
notice of the meeting and so I would

382
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:16,160
urge you to make sure and maybe I just
didn't hear what was said but I think if

383
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:22,000
the agenda was published today that
would not have met the I checked last

384
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:25,920
night for the agenda on the uh zoning
and planning the zoning department's

385
00:43:24,079 --> 00:43:28,640
website. It was not there. The only
document there was this document here.

386
00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:32,560
Thank you.
>> Okay. Thank you. Um Commissioner Dhy,

387
00:43:31,359 --> 00:43:37,040
» I was just going to remind you you have
another public comment there about this

388
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:42,680
issue.
>> Okay. Um,

389
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,680
okay.

390
00:43:43,599 --> 00:43:48,160
» It's Miss Bennett.
>> Miss Bennett. She said that she wanted

391
00:43:46,319 --> 00:43:54,480
to go later.
>> Do you want to go now or or the 9:30?

392
00:43:51,839 --> 00:43:57,480
I asked and she said, [laughter]
>> "Okay."

393
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:10,319
Uh, my name is Betty Bennett. I live at
806 Southeast 58th Street, Eaststone

394
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:17,680
Heights, Florida. The piece of property
that is being discussed uh conjoins our

395
00:44:15,119 --> 00:44:22,160
property and I'd like to see it my
property maintained.

396
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:27,280
Uh so anything that's discussed about
changing. I know that they want it to be

397
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:31,119
commercial, I'm not against that. I just
don't want it to affect my property. And

398
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:38,480
on the other side of my property is a
lake. So, I don't know how close or

399
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:43,040
however they can put their proposal to a
lake property,

400
00:44:40,319 --> 00:44:48,160
but I'm just concerned about those kind
of things. So, I know it's up to the

401
00:44:45,839 --> 00:44:52,720
county commissioners to protect the
citizens that vote for them, and I would

402
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,960
appreciate if you continue that you do
that.

403
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,560
» Okay.
>> Okay.

404
00:44:56,079 --> 00:45:00,960
» Thank you.
>> Any other public comment?

405
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:07,160
And Miss Miss Don, can you repeat what
you said earlier that the efforts that

406
00:45:03,839 --> 00:45:07,160
you went through?

407
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:16,319
» I am happy to help if anyone needs to
see where the agenda was. It is on our

408
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:22,319
planning and zoning website. Um, and the
agenda was posted two weeks ago along

409
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:24,160
with signs, uh, pictures of signs for
our record.

410
00:45:23,599 --> 00:45:29,680
» Yes.
>> All right.

411
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:38,240
» Thank you. Thank you. Um, Miss Ellison,
>> um, I just wanted to ask I I still don't

412
00:45:34,240 --> 00:45:44,880
know what the commercial plans will be
and I think you all will remember that

413
00:45:42,319 --> 00:45:49,839
we've had a lot of issues around the
traffic at that intersection.

414
00:45:47,839 --> 00:45:56,319
Um [clears throat] the the main
intersection closest to where this

415
00:45:51,920 --> 00:46:02,079
property is being reszoned is 21B and
100 and we've asked for a stoplight

416
00:45:59,359 --> 00:46:10,400
there and been turned down by the state.
It my impression is we have no power in

417
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:17,920
this at all but it is a dangerous and um
extremely slow intersection at some

418
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:21,839
times of the day. So, I I am concerned
about what's going to happen there to

419
00:46:20,079 --> 00:46:26,960
the traffic.
I assume the houses that are on that

420
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:31,359
back road 50th or whatever it is, those
houses own that property and they're or

421
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:38,480
I don't I don't know. [clears throat] I
don't know about the houses. Okay. Um

422
00:46:35,359 --> 00:46:45,119
I'll ask [laughter] our attorney and um
commissioner I mean our county manager.

423
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:49,839
Um, I would ask that M I think Mr.
Vincent is here. If he can come and

424
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:52,079
articulate his intent, would that be
okay?

425
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:55,599
» That that's fine. If I could just uh add
a couple clarifying points. Um,

426
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:58,880
» just to remind the board at this point,
you are at the resoning phase. So,

427
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:03,359
that's what you're considering at this
point is changing the land use and

428
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:07,440
zoning on the property. So, specific de
development plan for any commercial

429
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:12,160
development will come back. um that
would have specific building locations

430
00:47:10,319 --> 00:47:17,040
uh buffering and screening. I do believe
that your believe it's in the comp plan

431
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:21,119
uh requires a 25 foot buffer when
adjacent specifically to residential. So

432
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:24,160
those types of factors will certainly be
something that we consider at a later

433
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:28,079
time once we have a specific development
plan in front of us. Uh as well as

434
00:47:26,240 --> 00:47:31,760
traffic uh you know at that point when
you have a development plan you know

435
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:34,880
exact uses you can have a traffic study
that's going to identify exactly what

436
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:40,680
those will be. Um but yes I just wanted
to mention that. Thank you, Miss E.

437
00:47:46,720 --> 00:47:50,319
» Good morning, everyone.
>> Morning.

438
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:53,839
» I'm Vincent Essen, the owner of Keystone
Heights RV Resort. Yes. So, right now

439
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:57,599
we're just going through a zoning
change, but our plan is to do some kind

440
00:47:55,599 --> 00:48:02,720
of commercial plaza. I know we've had
issues on that corner 21B. has been a

441
00:47:59,920 --> 00:48:08,480
challenge with uh standing a light. So I
took it upon myself to take the fight um

442
00:48:05,359 --> 00:48:14,240
to uh do so. So uh we are doing a
traffic study. Uh we have some data. I

443
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:18,160
really can't share right now, but based
on the new development that we're

444
00:48:16,079 --> 00:48:22,480
planning, it's going to justify a light.
In the past, it warranted a light, but

445
00:48:20,240 --> 00:48:25,839
now they're going to recommend it. So
we're pretty confident that a light is

446
00:48:24,240 --> 00:48:30,640
going to go on that corner. So that'll
help with the traffic. Uh, we spend some

447
00:48:27,839 --> 00:48:34,319
years, but we're we're pretty close.
>> Thank you.

448
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:38,760
» All right. Um, did I miss any of the
public comments regarding this issue?

449
00:48:40,023 --> 00:48:42,043
[snorts]

450
00:48:44,240 --> 00:48:51,599
Uh, I just checked and in fact it was my
error. I did not scroll down far enough

451
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:56,480
in the uh items from the planning and
zoning. The item was in fact agended.

452
00:48:55,040 --> 00:49:02,559
Thank you for acknowledging that, Mr.
Steel. God bless you. All right, another

453
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:07,119
comment at this time. Um, again, we'll

>> If not,

478
00:50:46,720 --> 00:50:54,640
» just a comment. Um I'm really surprised
that there's not more people here um

479
00:50:52,000 --> 00:51:00,400
talking about this because I know that
um we have done studies, traffic

480
00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:06,079
studies, and the the light was denied.
Um, we've done a lot trying to get that

481
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:11,920
there because of course all we heard was
how dangerous it was. And of course

482
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:18,960
adding this is going to probably double
the traffic in there. So I'm hoping that

483
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:25,520
Vincent may be able to to make this um
happen, but um there have been traffic

484
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:31,200
studies done and um we were told no. And
it is a dangerous intersection. I'm sure

485
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:39,359
that most of us have been through there
and there was many many um residents of

486
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:44,559
Keystone that complained a lot about
um the light and the intersection and

487
00:51:41,839 --> 00:51:50,079
and the traffic. And so I'm surprised
there's not more people, but um I know

488
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:56,000
that today is not about what's going
there, but um it is a concern and I do

489
00:51:53,680 --> 00:52:01,119
hope that you're able, Vincent, to to
make this happen for the safety of the

490
00:51:58,240 --> 00:52:05,680
citizens of of Keystone.
>> Any other comments, discussion? If not,

01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:28,000
Okay, our county board of county
commissioner meeting is now called to

609
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:32,559
order. And if you would stand again for
our invocation and our pledge of

610
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:35,520
allegiance.
Heavenly Father, we come this morning

611
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:39,119
thanking you for your grace and your
mercy and your love. We thank you for

612
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:44,799
all of the people that are gathered here
today in person and those who are on

613
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:50,880
online. And Father, we ask today uh that
you help us to employ the wisdom given

614
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:55,839
to each of us to do your will and to do
good for our communities and to show

615
01:00:53,440 --> 01:01:01,119
compassion and understanding towards one
another. And Father, today I ask for a

616
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:06,400
special blessing for those who are ill.
I ask a special blessing for my friend

617
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:11,599
and brother in Christ, Ricky Thompson. I
ask for special blessing for those whom

618
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:17,119
you we know to be ill and those who we
may not know that are suffering from

619
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:21,599
illness. And Lord, I asked for comfort
for the families who have lost their

620
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:27,040
loved ones. And and we pray that we
begin to seek help through other means

621
01:01:24,799 --> 01:01:30,880
other than violence towards one another.
protect our families and our law

622
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:35,920
enforcement and those who have to deal
with situations like we had on

623
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:41,680
yesterday. And Lord, protect our men and
women who are deployed in the military.

624
01:01:38,079 --> 01:01:45,520
Protect them from harm and hurt. Now
Lord, we ask that you bless this meeting

625
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:49,520
that it be productive and pleasing your
sight. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

626
01:01:47,839 --> 01:01:54,400
» Amen. I pledge allegiance
>> to the flag of the United States of

627
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:59,200
America and to the republic for which it
stands. One nation [clears throat] under

628
01:01:56,640 --> 01:02:02,839
God, indivisible, with liberty and
justice for all.

629
01:02:05,119 --> 01:02:10,240
» Hi, Mr. Thompson. Hi.
>> Okay. Now,

630
01:02:09,599 --> 01:02:14,920
» resolution.
>> Oh, have mercy. Okay.

631
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:21,160
Now again uh

632
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:32,000
» we will open our meeting up uh for
>> yeah a lot of build and suspend

633
01:02:29,359 --> 01:02:39,119
» our attorney [laughter] for our public
hearing again for our um

634
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:42,720
» Yes ma'am. Um if we're starting on 2A as
I understand correct?

635
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:49,839
» Yes. We're going to do a lot of what we
just did over again, which is um seems

636
01:02:45,599 --> 01:02:54,160
duplicitous or duplicative by um the
public, but this is how the law requires

637
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:58,640
to make sure that everybody has plenty
of time to soak in what they're hearing

638
01:02:56,400 --> 01:03:03,920
uh and make any comments they may have
one way or the other. Um and the board

639
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:10,720
is sitting today both as a land
development board and as as a um as a

640
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:16,319
county commission. Now, they're sitting
as a county commission and uh in that um

641
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:20,480
in that posture, that's where we are
right now. And uh they're going to be

642
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:24,000
considering the ordinance first that I'm
about to read.

643
01:03:22,559 --> 01:03:27,359
An ordinance of the board of county
commissioners of Bradford County,

644
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:30,720
Florida, amending the Bradford County
Land Development Regulations relating to

645
01:03:29,119 --> 01:03:34,720
an amendment to the text of the Bradford
County Land Development Regulations to

646
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:37,839
revise the subdivision regulations as
set forth therein providing for

647
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:41,119
severability, repealing all ordinances
in conflict and providing an effective

648
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:46,880
date.
>> Okay. Thank you. [snorts] Um and again,

649
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:51,119
our group is here for the presentation
which is repetitive, but we'll go

650
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:54,880
through our procedures as required.
>> Yes. So, I'd just like to reiterate that

651
01:03:53,119 --> 01:03:59,280
we'd like to incorporate the
presentation made at the planning and

652
01:03:56,480 --> 01:04:03,200
zoning board into this item. Uh, unless
y'all have any additional questions,

653
01:04:01,359 --> 01:04:09,119
we'll just forgo the presentation to
keep from duplicating that effort.

654
01:04:06,079 --> 01:04:15,960
» Okay. [snorts] Um,
are there any public comments at this

655
01:04:10,799 --> 01:04:15,960
time? Mr. Steel, come forward.

656
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:29,520
Paul Steel, 14167 Southwest 101st Avenue
Stark. Um, I appreciate the

657
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:36,319
clarification that was presented, but I
believe the uh as currently drafted,

658
01:04:32,319 --> 01:04:41,839
it's the uh uh
amendments are very confusing. Uh, today

659
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:47,200
is the first time I've heard of this
special committee that was referred to.

660
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:54,960
I've never seen it applied on any
anywhere any previous uh uh applications

661
01:04:51,920 --> 01:05:00,640
for zoning changes. And so I think it's
uh if it's there, it would be good to

662
01:04:57,599 --> 01:05:05,039
actually document that some way in the
plan so that you understand who is who

663
01:05:03,599 --> 01:05:10,319
this committee is because they're
they're going to be playing a completely

664
01:05:07,359 --> 01:05:15,920
different more aggressive role in the
revisions that you've made than that

665
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:22,960
committee has uh made in the past. And
so I think I'm again I'm urging you uh

666
01:05:19,839 --> 01:05:27,200
to spend a little bit more time on this
because it's a really important part of

667
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:32,480
your land development regulations going
forward. And I think it's important to

668
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:37,520
try to make sure you're clear uh what it
actually in entails. And I also wanted

669
01:05:35,359 --> 01:05:42,559
to one of the things I think that you
should consider it's not so much with

670
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:48,640
this but it's part of what we're seeing
today is that if you had a separate

671
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:55,200
zoning and planning board made up of uh
citizens you would have five additional

672
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:58,799
eyes looking at all of this material and
I think it would produce a better

673
01:05:56,960 --> 01:06:03,359
product to have more people looking at
this. So I would urge you in going

674
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:08,960
forward that you consider uh stepping
down as a zoning and planning board and

675
01:06:05,839 --> 01:06:11,920
appointing uh five members of a board
from the community. Thank you.

676
01:06:10,799 --> 01:06:17,440
» Thank you.
>> All right. Any other

677
01:06:16,079 --> 01:06:22,559
» I just want to address the issue with
the uh TRC. That committee was actually

678
01:06:20,319 --> 01:06:25,359
is actually already in your LDR. So that
that's nothing new. It's something

679
01:06:23,839 --> 01:06:34,000
that's been around for a long time in
your LDRs. Um again that TRC meeting is

680
01:06:29,359 --> 01:06:40,160
um just staff is it's after you know the
subdivision application has been

681
01:06:35,839 --> 01:06:45,119
submitted and they uh pass that
application copies around to different

682
01:06:42,559 --> 01:06:51,680
staff members for review. That TRC
meeting is meant to meet and be able to

683
01:06:49,599 --> 01:06:57,119
you know address any comments and all
that and then be able to provide those

684
01:06:53,920 --> 01:07:01,760
to the applicant. So, it's an important
committee. It's been established. It's

685
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:08,319
already in your LDRs. All we did was we
we further explained what the TRC and

686
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:15,119
who who's who's involved in the TRC
um and what their role is. And

687
01:07:10,319 --> 01:07:19,520
ultimately um the TRC is um you know to
keep from having one person have the

688
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:26,880
power to say yay or nay on a plat the
TRC recommends the approval denial or

689
01:07:23,039 --> 01:07:32,000
whatever to the LDR administrator. So
you know that that that function is um I

690
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:36,640
feel like very clearly explained and the
process is clearly explained. It's a

691
01:07:33,839 --> 01:07:40,559
process we elaborated on that you
already had. So, and if you have any

692
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:44,480
questions, I'd be happy to go in more
detail about it.

693
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:49,119
» Madam Chair, if I may. Brandon, if you
don't mind, we're we're in a different

694
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:51,359
proceeding now. And for the record, the
clerk would like you like for you to

695
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:55,520
state your name.
>> Oh. Oh, sorry. Uh my name is Brandon

696
01:07:53,440 --> 01:08:00,960
Stubs. I'm the uh planning and GIS
manager for North Florida Professional

697
01:07:57,119 --> 01:08:06,240
Services and acting as uh your staff.
>> Okay. All right. Thank you. Are there

698
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:12,119
any other public comments regarding um
this this ordinance? Um Miss Bo Hastings

699
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:21,520
Bo Hastings Stark Florida. I'm hoping
that uh it's going to be less corrupt

700
01:08:19,679 --> 01:08:26,159
with this passing now. you know, with
the last, not the last planting his own

701
01:08:24,480 --> 01:08:29,920
and lady that got fired, but the one
before, you know, he had to resign

702
01:08:27,759 --> 01:08:34,719
because of all the shady crap being
done, giving plaques, replats. And then

703
01:08:32,799 --> 01:08:40,880
I got a question about this subdivision
at the end of my road, you know, that

704
01:08:38,159 --> 01:08:46,480
there were supposedly signs put up, but
there really wasn't. I noticed on the

705
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:50,880
4th at the last the meeting on the 4th
when I was leaving that road and it was

706
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:56,480
a subdivision and it's always been
private. It was private land that was

707
01:08:52,560 --> 01:09:00,480
sold. Uh and then they made eight 5 acre
parcels and then you could put one

708
01:08:58,319 --> 01:09:05,199
family house per thing and I noticed it
was being graded in lime rocked and I

709
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:10,960
put out some questions. I actually
called Miss Andrews. I never got a call

710
01:09:07,279 --> 01:09:14,239
back. Uh I talked to Mr. Riddic and he
actually called me back and said that

711
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:19,759
Jason told him that that's always been a
private road and that is absolutely not

712
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:25,440
true. That is not a private road. And
then it was a subdivision, the Vicory

713
01:09:21,839 --> 01:09:30,480
subdivision with the K because an actual
resident made complaints about it. Uh

714
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:34,960
Miss Shocky, she never got a call back.
She's been waiting, I think, 6 to 8

715
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:39,120
months for a call back, but was told,
"Well, you'll like what we're doing."

716
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:43,759
Which the last plan in his owning guy,
Mr. Andrews had to resign over which

717
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:49,359
really is no accountability cuz you
still get to take your your uh what your

718
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:53,199
retirement and all that. You just get to
resign. But something's going on here

719
01:09:51,440 --> 01:09:58,560
and it's kind of crazy. So, I'm
wondering what good old boy bought land

720
01:09:55,120 --> 01:10:03,280
down there in that so-called subdivision
down from me because now all of a sudden

721
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:07,440
it's a private county road putting on
the taxpayers and Miss Spooner couldn't

722
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:13,280
even get her roads that she needed put
on a list to get done just to get put on

723
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:19,600
the list. But yet, you got a road now at
the end of my road that's

724
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:23,840
county maintained on the taxpayers, but
ain't nothing been said about it. So

725
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:29,040
something ain't right there. I'm going
to keep digging. I'm going to find out.

726
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:33,600
And then I was also told that Mr. Dods,
the one that's over this that told Mr.

727
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:37,440
Rick all this stuff that he actually
works on Saturdays for the guy that

728
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:42,239
dumps the lime rock at the lime rock
company. Wouldn't that be a conflict of

729
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:46,880
interest to the
the constituents of this county if you

730
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:51,120
know he's over the road department and
yet he's working for the people who's

731
01:10:49,199 --> 01:10:55,280
dumping the rock? I mean, isn't that a
conflict of interest? Maybe I can get

732
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:59,199
some answers on this. I don't know. I
can't never get a call back, but maybe I

733
01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:03,760
can get some answers on this at the end
of the meeting. Thank you.

734
01:11:00,719 --> 01:11:07,920
» Thank you. Are there any other public
comments on the consideration and

735
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:13,679
enactment of the ordinance amending the
Graphic County Land Development?

736
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:19,800
» Madam Chair, if I may, Director Dots
would like to speak to the board if

737
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:19,800
Okay. You'd allow it. Uh,

738
01:11:25,679 --> 01:11:28,960
» good morning.
>> Morning.

739
01:11:27,199 --> 01:11:34,800
» Just for clarification, I wanted to talk
about that road. Um, it's been a county

740
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:39,280
road all the way to the very end that I
know of since I've been here. Um, one of

741
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:42,880
my employees that lives on that road has
lived there for 20some years. And he

742
01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:49,280
said it's been a county road that whole
time. And I also want to clarify that I

743
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:53,600
have never worked a day in my life for
Bridget Trucking and that's who delivers

744
01:11:51,679 --> 01:11:57,199
our line brock.
>> Jason, is the sign does the sign reflect

745
01:11:55,840 --> 01:12:02,560
that it's a county road?
>> Yes, ma'am.

746
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:07,440
» Okay. Okay. Now, are there any other
public comments regarding the

747
01:12:05,199 --> 01:12:12,239
consideration and enactment of an
ordinance amending the Bradford County

748
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:18,280
land development regulations
related to the subdivision regulations?

749
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:18,280
Miss Kate Ellison.

750
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:31,040
Kate Ellison, 971 Southeast 32nd Way,
Melrose, Florida. I just wanted to

751
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:39,040
clarify if this is the regulation that
we that was discussed earlier that is

752
01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:44,400
uh a landowner can divide their property
into two and no more than two. I that's

753
01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:47,360
my understanding of what was discussed
before but it wasn't discussed in this

754
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:50,640
meeting.
>> Thank you. Mr. Stubs or Miss Can you

755
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:56,880
clarify?
>> Yeah. So, what she's referring to is

756
01:12:54,320 --> 01:13:01,280
what's considered a one-time lot split.
That's under Florida statute. And um but

757
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:06,239
there is a procedure that was written
into the subdivision regulations to be

758
01:13:04,159 --> 01:13:13,679
able to divide your property without
subdividing, but it doesn't just include

759
01:13:10,480 --> 01:13:19,600
um lot splits or you know dividing into
two. It doesn't limit you. you can, you

760
01:13:16,239 --> 01:13:24,320
know, subdivide um, you know, as many
lots as you want as long as you comply

761
01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:30,000
with the code. But, um, again, that
that's just one part would be the U lot

762
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:33,679
split application. And then you have the
subdivision requirements. But yes, this

763
01:13:32,239 --> 01:13:37,840
is the same thing we just made the
presentation on to the planning and

764
01:13:35,679 --> 01:13:43,440
zoning board. Mhm.
>> And you most specifically was addressing

765
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:48,800
the subdivision um issue as opposed to
the lot split.

766
01:13:45,440 --> 01:13:54,560
» Correct. Yes. There's um
like I said the all the changes were

767
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:59,920
changes to reflect uh changes in Florida
statute and to

768
01:13:57,360 --> 01:14:05,360
um provide more procedural clarification
on the process and u provide additional

769
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:10,320
processes that would make uh a lot
easier for people to divide property.

770
01:14:07,679 --> 01:14:15,600
» Okay. Any other public comments at this
time?

771
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:18,719
Okay. Board, any other discussion? No
ma'am. I'll make a motion that we

772
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:22,159

779
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:52,360
the next tower development group LLC.

780
01:14:56,400 --> 01:15:00,000
Okay.
>> Yes, Madam Chair. Again, my name is

781
01:14:58,159 --> 01:15:03,440
Justin Taber. I'm a senior planner with
North Florida Professional Services and

782
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:08,719
we're here this uh morning representing
you as your uh zoning department. Okay.

783
01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:11,120
» Um this item we did not have on the
planning commission agenda. It just goes

784
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:12,880
straight to the board of county
commissioners. So I do have a

785
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:16,320
presentation that I'll run through
briefly for you and then the uh

786
01:15:14,159 --> 01:15:20,080
applicants agent is present as well.
This is SP26-01.

787
01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:23,679
It's a special permit for essential
services for a wireless communication

788
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:27,679
tower. The application has been
submitted by Next Tower Development

789
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:33,440
Group 2 LLC.
Uh the subject property is a portion of

790
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:40,400
a 10.25 acre parcel. It's a subset that
is approximately a quarter acre.24 acres

791
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:43,400
and this is on tax parcel 04561-
0-000000.

792
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:52,159
Uh the slide that you see here shows the
location of the subject property with a

793
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:57,440
red border. Uh this is the overall 10.25
acre tract. Uh the proposed location for

794
01:15:54,880 --> 01:16:02,159
the tower is in the southeastern corner
of this property.

795
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:08,640
Uh this is the current future land use
map. Uh the current f future land use uh

796
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:13,480
is agriculture 2 and then likewise the
zoning is also agriculture 2.

797
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:21,760
Uh this is an overall site plan showing
the entire 10.25 acre parcel. Again, you

798
01:16:19,679 --> 01:16:26,480
can see in the southeastern corner is
the location of the proposed uh wireless

799
01:16:24,159 --> 01:16:30,400
tower.
And this is a more detailed site plan

800
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:34,640
showing the location of the tower. Uh
there would be one access point provided

801
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:37,640
to the tower from Southeast 144th
Street.

802
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:46,120
And uh pretty typical from what you see
with uh these types of towers. You can

803
01:16:42,239 --> 01:16:46,120
see the elevation here.

804
01:16:46,480 --> 01:16:52,800
With respect to consistency with the
county's comprehensive plan, uh we have

805
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:56,320
reviewed for consistency and find the
application to be consistent with uh

806
01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:59,920
goals, objectives, and policies that are
within the future land use element. The

807
01:16:58,480 --> 01:17:02,800
evaluation and findings report that we
presented to you does uh provide further

808
01:17:01,679 --> 01:17:06,080
detail. And I'm happy to answer any
questions you have about comprehensive

809
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:11,360
plan consistency.
And for landmarks, if you all like me

810
01:17:09,440 --> 01:17:16,560
visually trying to picture where the
location is. So if you know 230 where

811
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:21,600
the hospital highway road is uh down
near the county line between Bradford

812
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:24,080
and Klay County is the uh location.
>> Yes. Thank you for the clarification.

813
01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:28,400
Yeah.
>> All right.

814
01:17:26,719 --> 01:17:31,920
Um with respect to compliance with your
land development regulations, uh there

815
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:36,239
are provisions established in section
14.11 of the land development

816
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:40,560
regulations that uh pertains to the
approval of special permits. Uh we have

817
01:17:38,719 --> 01:17:44,800
reviewed the application for consistency
with those and found to find and and

818
01:17:43,199 --> 01:17:48,239
have found it to be consistent with
those regulations therein.

819
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:53,360
And our recommendation for you this
morning is to approve the special permit

820

01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:36,800
» Thank you, Madam Chairman. A resolution
of the board of county commissioners of

911
01:25:35,120 --> 01:25:40,800
Bradford County, Florida, relating to
the provision of fire protection

912
01:25:38,639 --> 01:25:44,560
services, facilities, and programs in
the county. Establishing the rate of

913
01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:48,719
assessment for the fiscal year
commencing October 1st, 2026, imposing

914
01:25:47,199 --> 01:25:53,199
fire protection assessments against
assessed property located within the

915
01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:57,040
county, approving the assessment role,
and directing delivery thereof to the

916
01:25:55,040 --> 01:26:02,000
tax collector,
providing for severability, and

917
01:25:58,480 --> 01:26:07,679
providing an effective date.
Okay.

918
01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:10,679
At this time, are there any public
comments

919
01:26:11,679 --> 01:26:14,679
Hastings?

920
01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:25,040
Bo Hastings start Florida. I think if
we're going to do this fire assessment

921
01:26:23,199 --> 01:26:29,040
again, when the fire chief needs a
truck, he ought to be able to get it.

922
01:26:27,040 --> 01:26:32,800
You know, a few months back, he asked
for a truck. it wouldn't have cost the

923
01:26:30,560 --> 01:26:37,120
taxpayers not one penny. He had
everything figured out from selling the

924
01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:41,920
old truck that kept going in and out of
the shop to the reimbursements for the

925
01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:46,480
Medicaid and Medicare. Had every bit of
the money and then this board didn't

926
01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:50,800
approve it. Then we come back after the
fire in Samson City where people died

927
01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:56,159
because there was no fire tanker there
at Samson City. It was somewhere else.

928
01:26:53,600 --> 01:27:04,639
Uh, and then you approve that one for a
grant and the county has to match

929
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:07,760
$61,000. So then that cost the taxpayer.
So if you're going to do this fire

930
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:11,920
assessment again and approve it every
year, then when he needs a truck and

931
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:16,080
there's money there to get that truck,
then the fire department should be able

932
01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:20,480
to get the truck and the equipment they
need. That's all.

933
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:23,719
» Any other public comments,
Miss Strong?

934
01:27:31,440 --> 01:27:41,679
Vonda Strong Lie.
I have to say that um when the taxpayers

935
01:27:40,159 --> 01:27:48,320
in
each of the municipalities

936
01:27:44,719 --> 01:27:51,719
look and need
a fire

937
01:27:52,880 --> 01:28:03,360
situation. We need to have equipment
when we need equipment.

938
01:27:58,719 --> 01:28:09,679
And for you guys to sit and say, "No,
you don't have the money. No, the fire

939
01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:15,520
department can't have equipment," it
slaps us in the face.

940
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:23,280
Um, when the fire chief says that he
needs equipment, he needs equipment.

941
01:28:18,639 --> 01:28:29,199
If Lahi decides that they don't want to
participate, what is this board going to

942
01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:34,000
do? If Hampton says, if Brooker says
that they don't want to participate,

943
01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:37,440
what is this board going to do?
What's going to happen at that point?

944
01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:42,800
Stark has already said they don't want
to participate. What are you going to

945
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:48,239
do? I think you need to decide
what's going to happen once you assess

946
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:53,520
the taxpayers. You need to be better
stewards of our money. And at this

947
01:28:51,679 --> 01:28:59,760
point, you're not being very good
stewards of our money.

948
01:28:56,400 --> 01:29:06,560
I think that you need to decide
what it is that you're doing with our

949
01:29:02,320 --> 01:29:12,960
money every year when you assess our
money. And you're not being very good

950
01:29:09,679 --> 01:29:19,280
stewards of our money.
When you assess this fee,

951
01:29:16,320 --> 01:29:26,560
you have a business that's coming in
again and you're not

952
01:29:23,600 --> 01:29:30,880
assessing them properly
and you need to look at how you're

953
01:29:28,480 --> 01:29:34,719
assessing that business.
It's not fair

954
01:29:32,880 --> 01:29:40,159
when you look at how you assess
everybody else.

955
01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:43,159
Be better stewards of the taxpayers's
money.

956
01:29:44,080 --> 01:29:48,679
any other public comments at this time.

957
01:29:48,719 --> 01:29:57,199
Um,
Chief, do you have any comment you want

958
01:29:52,159 --> 01:30:00,639
me? Okay. Um, at this time, I'll ask for
a motion for approval.

959
01:29:59,199 --> 01:30:03,120
» I'm sure I'll make a motion to approve
the resolution as read by our county

960
01:30:02,159 --> 01:30:05,760
attorney.
>> Motion by Commissioner Dory. There's a

961
01:30:04,719 --> 01:30:07,920
second to the motion.
>> Second.

962
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:13,280
» Second by Commissioner Andrews. Any
further discussion at this time? Um if

963
01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:15,520
hearing and seeing none, we take a vote.
All in favor?

964
01:30:14,719 --> 01:30:19,480
» I.
>> Any oppose? For all.

965
01:30:19,679 --> 01:30:30,239
» Okay. Now, believe it or not,
uh we're down to item three. Any public

966
01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:35,199
comments? I do have three persons if
you've already addressed your concerns.

967
01:30:32,400 --> 01:30:40,560
One was Miss Strong and one was Miss
Hastings and the other one is Cameron

968
01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:43,560
Bakas.
Okay.

969
01:30:46,239 --> 01:30:50,960
» Good morning, Madam Chair.
>> Good morning.

970
01:30:49,280 --> 01:30:57,679
» Um, for the record, my name is Cameron
Bakus. I live at 16526 Southwest 137th

971
01:30:54,719 --> 01:31:01,520
Avenue, Brooker, Florida. Um, my name is
Cameron Bakus and I'm a representee of

972
01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:05,920
Community Action Recycling Empower
Servicemen, Inc., a local nonprofit here

973
01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:09,600
in Bradford County. Over the last year,
we have been going around this area in

974
01:31:07,920 --> 01:31:14,639
search of a bonafide mission for the
community at large. Our main areas of

975
01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:19,199
concern are things that are prudent to
the entire community of Stark and the

976
01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:25,360
county residents as a whole. We have
been fortunate so far this storm season,

977
01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:29,679
but this will not always be the case as
we get deeper into the season. This

978
01:31:27,520 --> 01:31:35,679
brings me to my first two main concerns.
Storm water drainage and wind damage

979
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:39,600
mitigation. Many neighborhoods
within the Star City limits have open

980
01:31:37,520 --> 01:31:45,040
culverts for roadway and residential
property drainage. These therefore enter

981
01:31:42,480 --> 01:31:49,120
into the city's main storm drainage
system and include but are not limited

982
01:31:47,199 --> 01:31:54,000
to Alligator Creek flowing into Lake
Row. This city has grown up from the

983
01:31:51,920 --> 01:31:58,719
swamp land that has that it was founded
on and as such systems in place that

984
01:31:56,800 --> 01:32:03,280
have become our primary relief from
flash flood rain events are in desperate

985
01:32:01,120 --> 01:32:07,920
need of maintenance to operate as
designed. This is a community issue to

986
01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:16,239
mitigate flood type damage to personal
property. In the season uh 2004 or 24,

987
01:32:13,840 --> 01:32:19,840
Hurricane Debbie dropped 10 to 20 ines
of rain in the region causing flash

988
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:22,960
flooding in local townships within
Stark.

989
01:32:21,440 --> 01:32:28,239
Which brings me to the wind event
mitigation protocols that the city of

990
01:32:24,639 --> 01:32:34,560
Stark has legal authority to step in,
hire a service, clear the hazard, and

991
01:32:31,199 --> 01:32:39,040
place a lean against the property.
or that cost can be rolled directly into

992
01:32:36,719 --> 01:32:42,880
the owner's official county tax bill.
Trees located near infrastructure that

993
01:32:40,960 --> 01:32:47,679
may pose a significant risk to life or
property need to be addressed foremost,

994
01:32:45,040 --> 01:32:53,440
but many areas have tree limb debris in
the drainage canals such as along the

995
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:58,320
CSX railway corridor within city limits.
As the railway is a one is the one

996
01:32:55,679 --> 01:33:03,040
reason why Stark became incorporated in
1867.

997
01:32:59,840 --> 01:33:07,120
It is it bisects the city. Therefore,
crossing before crossing Alligator

998
01:33:05,040 --> 01:33:11,920
Creek, we feel it is imperative that the
community leaders and alderman take an

999
01:33:08,960 --> 01:33:17,199
active role in addressing any blockages
in concert with CSX as quickly as

1000
01:33:14,800 --> 01:33:21,679
corporately possible.
Lastly, the state government has

1001
01:33:19,280 --> 01:33:26,159
introduced a pilot program to research
the feasibility of using digital

1002
01:33:23,440 --> 01:33:30,800
currency here in Florida. Georgia has
already begun setting the stage for us

1003
01:33:28,480 --> 01:33:35,920
here with the Georgia Payment Stable
Coin Act. We feel it would be a prudent

1004
01:33:33,199 --> 01:33:41,120
step in leading this county into a
digital age that will be agreeable to

1005
01:33:37,840 --> 01:33:44,480
all residents of Royal Florida as we
here in Bradford County have become

1006
01:33:42,480 --> 01:33:51,679
accustomed to a rather simplistic way of
life and endure to keep unity in

1007
01:33:47,760 --> 01:33:55,960
community by supporting each other.
>> Thank you. Okay.

1008
01:33:57,440 --> 01:34:03,239
Mr. I think that you need to still speak
to this

1009
01:34:03,920 --> 01:34:06,920
Mander

1010
01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:23,520
strong in Lahi.
I was here at last month's meeting and

1011
01:34:20,880 --> 01:34:30,639
what greatly disturbed me was the way
that the

1012
01:34:26,560 --> 01:34:38,719
commissioners spoke to our chair, Miss
Spooner, when she tried to speak on

1013
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:43,360
behalf of her constituents in her
district.

1014
01:34:40,719 --> 01:34:48,800
Some of the commissioners
spoke very

1015
01:34:45,840 --> 01:34:54,560
downgrading to her and it was
heartbreaking.

1016
01:34:51,199 --> 01:35:02,400
Some of the commissioners
failed to be as respectful to Miss

1017
01:34:57,440 --> 01:35:05,400
Commissioner Miss Spooner as she was to
others.

1018
01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:14,600
Miss Spooner is always compassionate
when she is speaking in her district.

1019
01:35:14,639 --> 01:35:23,280
It was very heartbreaking
when Miss Spooner took over her

1020
01:35:20,719 --> 01:35:28,480
district.
The roads in her district had not been

1021
01:35:25,840 --> 01:35:32,880
paved at all.
How do I know that? Because I live in

1022
01:35:30,639 --> 01:35:36,440
her district.
Over the years,

1023
01:35:37,040 --> 01:35:46,719
none of the roads in that district had
ever been paved before

1024
01:35:43,520 --> 01:35:53,280
and no one cared.
All over Bradford County, we have roads

1025
01:35:49,760 --> 01:35:58,880
that have continuously been paved
over and over and over,

1026
01:35:56,080 --> 01:36:02,440
but nobody seemed to care until Miss
Spooner came along.

1027
01:36:02,639 --> 01:36:14,320
Nobody cared about how Miss Spooner
treated anybody in our district until

1028
01:36:10,159 --> 01:36:18,560
she came along. But the other some of
the other

1029
01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:22,639
commissioners seemed to only care about
their district, not the county as a

1030
01:36:20,960 --> 01:36:27,760
whole.
And they were very disrespectful. and it

1031
01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:36,080
was heartbreaking because she cares
about the county, not just her district.

1032
01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:43,360
I think that we need to take a look at
how we treat everybody

1033
01:36:40,080 --> 01:36:51,920
and not just ourselves.
We need to be respectful to everybody

1034
01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:59,280
and not just look at
our own district because when the money

1035
01:36:55,360 --> 01:37:05,480
comes in from taxpayers, it funds the
entire county and not just our district.

1036
01:37:05,520 --> 01:37:13,280
Miss Spooner thinks about everybody's
district

1037
01:37:10,320 --> 01:37:18,199
and not just her district.
Thank you, Mr. Strong. Uh, Miss Hast.

1038
01:37:24,480 --> 01:37:30,159
» Oh, that's crazy. This third time I get
to speak today. Y'all probably ready for

1039
01:37:27,760 --> 01:37:33,840
me to shut up. But anyway, you know, I
never was involved in any of this stuff

1040
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:37,360
until that fire tax meeting at the
Charlie E. John's building. And it

1041
01:37:35,679 --> 01:37:42,000
really opened my eyes to the way that
the people here, the constituents are

1042
01:37:39,040 --> 01:37:45,199
actually treated in our county and the
corruption that goes on. And people can

1043
01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:49,760
roll their eyes and say, "Oh, there's
none of that." Oh, but there is. And

1044
01:37:47,679 --> 01:37:53,199
I'll just say, you know, Mr. Dodge, I
understand. I wasn't referring to

1045
01:37:51,360 --> 01:37:58,239
Pritchette Trucking, sir, but I'm
telling you that subdivision was just in

1046
01:37:56,239 --> 01:38:03,760
a whole bunch of stink up here and
that's why Mr. Andrews had to resign.

1047
01:38:01,679 --> 01:38:08,320
» So, you need to to I will address the
commission. That was a subdivision

1048
01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:12,239
because you even stated, Mr. Daltry,
that you seen signs put up down there

1049
01:38:10,239 --> 01:38:17,040
for a public hearing that actually
wasn't there. So, them saying that

1050
01:38:15,199 --> 01:38:22,639
that's always been a private road, that
is a bald-faced lie. But uh you know, I

1051
01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:26,880
never wanted to get involved in politics
or any of this stuff with my county, but

1052
01:38:25,040 --> 01:38:32,400
when I seen the way people were treated,
it was absolutely disgusting. And Miss

1053
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:37,119
Spooner, you were very treated very bad
at that meeting. Your road should have

1054
01:38:34,159 --> 01:38:41,199
been allowed to be put on there. I mean,
because if it gets near the country

1055
01:38:39,440 --> 01:38:45,199
club, gets a pothole, it gets
resurfaced, and your roads have never

1056
01:38:42,960 --> 01:38:49,840
been paved. Those people can't get in
and out. the ambulances can't get in and

1057
01:38:47,360 --> 01:38:54,560
out if somebody needs to go and it does
need to be taken care of. And I do want

1058
01:38:52,400 --> 01:39:00,080
to say I appreciate you answering the
phone when I call you because

1059
01:38:57,760 --> 01:39:05,760
my commissioner won't answer me. Won't
return a call since August the 4th. I've

1060
01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:09,280
called twice. I've got no call back. You
answered the phone. I called Mr.

1061
01:39:07,520 --> 01:39:13,360
Riddick. He answers the phone. And I
will say Chief Carter always answers the

1062
01:39:11,600 --> 01:39:17,440
phone. And if he don't, he always calls
me back. And I just want to say I

1063
01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:22,639
appreciate that. But I'm going to keep
digging in this stuff. I'm going to keep

1064
01:39:19,520 --> 01:39:28,400
telling people what's going on. And
y'all just y'all need to make smarter

1065
01:39:25,600 --> 01:39:32,960
choices for your constituents
because you ran to be there for your

1066
01:39:31,360 --> 01:39:36,639
constituents. I mean, I know Miss
Andrews, at the last meeting when you

1067
01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:40,639
walked in, you told me, "Bo, I seen
where you called." Okay. If you seen

1068
01:39:38,719 --> 01:39:45,520
where I called, why didn't you call me
back? I have to wait two weeks till you

1069
01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:50,639
see me in a meeting for you to speak to
me or address the issue that I have. I

1070
01:39:48,400 --> 01:39:56,239
mean, that's just that's not right. I
called the other day. I didn't get a

1071
01:39:52,719 --> 01:40:00,080
call back. I mean, do I need to move to
a new district so I can get a

1072
01:39:57,760 --> 01:40:03,920
commissioner to at least answer me? And
I know we get the higher up departments

1073
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:08,480
up here. They say, "Oh, you always
answer. Everybody always answers phone."

1074
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:13,679
No, you don't. But the ones that do, I
do appreciate you. But like I told y'all

1075
01:40:11,679 --> 01:40:17,840
when I started all this almost a year
ago, I'm going to scream it from the

1076
01:40:15,679 --> 01:40:21,360
rooftops. Guess what? I'm going to
scream it from the rooftops. Thank you.

1077
01:40:20,560 --> 01:40:29,880
» Thank you, B.
>> Okay. Um, thank you. Did I miss anyone's

1078
01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:29,880
um public comments? Mr. Steel, briefly.

1079
01:40:34,800 --> 01:40:44,800
» Paul Steel, 14167 Southwest 101st
Avenue, Stark. I have uh two comments on

1080
01:40:41,679 --> 01:40:49,600
uh agenda items. The first comments deal
with item seven, approval of the tourist

1081
01:40:47,600 --> 01:40:55,199
development invoice uh for the batting
cages. Uh I noticed that the minutes

1082
01:40:52,320 --> 01:41:01,360
were not included in your packet uh for
that item. Uh I think it's important to

1083
01:40:58,159 --> 01:41:04,800
have those minutes. Uh I noted that it
says that the meeting was on August

1084
01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:10,400
20th.
I can't I do not see how uh you could

1085
01:41:07,679 --> 01:41:14,880
have approved minutes before you. I'm
not sure whether you can use unapproved

1086
01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:22,320
minutes for uh evaluating whether this
in fact is a legitimate item. So I would

1087
01:41:18,320 --> 01:41:26,960
urge that you uh uh table that item
until you can get a set of approved

1088
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:32,719
minutes. The next item I wanted to refer
to is item eight. It's the uh surplusing

1089
01:41:30,159 --> 01:41:38,719
of the warehouse building. I just wanted
to ask if uh you've contacted the state

1090
01:41:35,600 --> 01:41:45,920
of Florida uh agency that transferred
that uh building to you for specific uh

1091
01:41:42,080 --> 01:41:54,639
reasons which was uh at that time uh uh
an aerospace type or aeronautical

1092
01:41:50,560 --> 01:42:00,400
uh activity and if they're okay with you
selling it at this point for uh and the

1093
01:41:58,320 --> 01:42:06,080
proceeds from the sale going to the
county I think definitely uh the county

1094
01:42:03,520 --> 01:42:10,159
needs to get rid of it. Uh if you can
sell it and keep the money, that's

1095
01:42:07,520 --> 01:42:15,119
great. If you can't sell it, I would
urge you to ask the state to take it

1096
01:42:12,880 --> 01:42:21,280
back. I think the long-term liability
for that site uh to the county is uh far

1097
01:42:18,480 --> 01:42:26,560
too great to be actually holding it and
allowing any activity on the site.

1098
01:42:24,560 --> 01:42:33,920
And the third item I wanted to address
is uh relating to the budget. Uh

1099
01:42:31,600 --> 01:42:38,560
uh I would urge you to consider moving
the codes enforcement officer position

1100
01:42:36,639 --> 01:42:43,199
out of the sheriff's department into
zoning uh

1101
01:42:41,440 --> 01:42:48,480
simply because I don't believe it's
appropriate to have that officer in the

1102
01:42:45,199 --> 01:42:55,760
sheriff's department uh uh based on my
experiences uh with the the at current

1103
01:42:52,320 --> 01:42:59,360
uh uh the current the position the
individual holding that position

1104
01:42:57,280 --> 01:43:04,080
currently and you're being asked to
actually add another position to the

1105
01:43:01,440 --> 01:43:08,480
sheriff's office budget. I believe that
that that position should be in zoning

1106
01:43:06,639 --> 01:43:13,520
and it would be more efficiently run
within the zoning department. Thank you.

1107
01:43:11,600 --> 01:43:23,159
» Thank you.
Did I miss any other public persons?

1108
01:43:17,440 --> 01:43:23,159
All right. Um item four

1109
01:43:24,719 --> 01:43:34,080
is the approval for our consent agenda
from um A through E. Is there a motion

1110
01:43:31,360 --> 01:43:37,280
for approval of the consent agenda?
>> I make a motion to approve the consent

1111
01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:41,916
agenda.
>> There's a motion by Commissioner Reic.

1112
01:43:39,040 --> 01:43:43,920
Is there a second to the motion?
[clears throat]

1113
01:43:42,159 --> 01:43:47,920
» I'll second the motion.
>> Second by Commissioner Dory. Any further

1114
01:43:45,600 --> 01:43:53,600
discussion, questions?
All in favor by sign I

1115
01:43:49,600 --> 01:43:58,080
» I oppose a four.
Um

1116
01:43:55,679 --> 01:44:02,400
» madam madam chair if I may. In the
absence of commissioner Thompson uh

1117
01:44:00,639 --> 01:44:07,679
director Dods would be happy to take
this item.

1118
01:44:04,080 --> 01:44:11,080
» Okay. Do we have representatives here?
>> No.

1119
01:44:08,080 --> 01:44:11,080
» Okay.

1120
01:44:11,679 --> 01:44:16,480
» Good morning again.
>> Good morning. So, this request did not

1121
01:44:14,639 --> 01:44:21,040
come through me, but it did go through
Commissioner Thompson from the family

1122
01:44:18,239 --> 01:44:24,639
that requested the road dedication. Um,
obviously he's not here, so I wanted to

1123
01:44:23,182 --> 01:44:28,719
[clears throat] give you a brief update
on what that was for. Um, as far as I

1124
01:44:26,880 --> 01:44:30,800
know, none of the family is here.
>> Okay.

1125
01:44:30,320 --> 01:44:34,520
» Okay.
>> Thank you.

1126
01:44:31,360 --> 01:44:34,520
» Thank you.

1127
01:44:38,080 --> 01:44:46,000
» All right. Um, come back, Mr. Dods.
>> [laughter]

1128
01:44:43,040 --> 01:44:50,960
» Um, item six, public works director
Jason D.

1129
01:44:49,360 --> 01:44:57,239
» We need to vote on it.
>> Madam, Madam Chair, before before Jason

1130
01:44:53,199 --> 01:44:57,239
starts, do we

1131
01:44:57,760 --> 01:45:02,320
» Yeah. Yeah. That's an action item, the
road dedication.

1132
01:45:01,760 --> 01:45:07,040
» Okay.
>> So, we'll need that. In the in the

1133
01:45:04,480 --> 01:45:13,920
absence of
>> um Commissioner Thompson, u we'll ask

1134
01:45:09,920 --> 01:45:22,400
for approval of um the requested
honorary road dedication um to Mr. C. W.

1135
01:45:18,159 --> 01:45:25,600
Moore. That's on Northwest 45th Avenue.
>> Madam Chair, is there is there something

1136
01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:30,800
you could read in case they're watching
on the uh YouTube channel? This one

1137
01:45:28,320 --> 01:45:33,920
says, um, board of Bradford County
Commissioners, Brefford County, Florida,

1138
01:45:32,239 --> 01:45:40,639
certificate of honorary dedication
hereby dedicates Northwest 45th Avenue

1139
01:45:37,199 --> 01:45:45,119
in remembrance of Mr. C. W. Moore in
honor and remembrance of Mr. CW Moore

1140
01:45:43,119 --> 01:45:50,080
and in recognition of his life,
character, and legacy. May this honorary

1141
01:45:47,600 --> 01:45:57,199
dedication serve as a lasting tribute to
his memory and the place he held within

1142
01:45:52,320 --> 01:45:59,600
our community on September 1st, 2026.
Excellent. Thank you.

1143
01:45:58,080 --> 01:46:02,480
» Thank you, Madam Chair. I'll make a
motion that we approve the road

1144
01:46:00,960 --> 01:46:05,280
dedication as read.
>> Second.

1145
01:46:03,360 --> 01:46:08,400
» Motion by Commissioner Dor, second by
Commissioner Andrews. All in favor by

1146
01:46:07,440 --> 01:46:10,480
the sign. I
>> I

1147
01:46:09,840 --> 01:46:13,600
» you have a comment,
>> Jason. Do you know the story behind

1148
01:46:12,800 --> 01:46:16,320
that?
>> I don't, unfortunately. I wish I did,

1149
01:46:15,520 --> 01:46:22,320
but I don't.
>> Um, I know.

1150
01:46:20,159 --> 01:46:26,560
» All right. Thank you. And Mr. Dodge,
you're up. Um,

1151
01:46:24,719 --> 01:46:30,800
» yes, ma'am. So, I noticed the sheriff
got out of here before we got to this

1152
01:46:28,000 --> 01:46:36,480
point, but anyhow, that's just my little
poke at him this morning. Um, this is

1153
01:46:33,280 --> 01:46:39,600
actually um for the fleet service. We've
started doing some of the work for the

1154
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:44,719
sheriff's office and they currently do
not have a line item for the budget on

1155
01:46:42,639 --> 01:46:50,639
fleet maintenance. So, we have no way to
build that back to them. Um, so with him

1156
01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:57,360
adding the $25,000 to fleet would give
us a GL to build the sheriff's office

1157
01:46:54,719 --> 01:47:01,920
work that gets done there.
>> Jason, what what kind of services are we

1158
01:46:59,840 --> 01:47:09,280
talking about there? And the only and I
I'll explain why I'm asking is um

1159
01:47:06,159 --> 01:47:13,520
because it's $25,000. It doesn't sound
like a I mean when you're repairing

1160
01:47:11,760 --> 01:47:18,560
vehicles and stuff like that, that
doesn't sound like very much money. So,

1161
01:47:15,600 --> 01:47:23,360
I'm wondering um are we talking about
like repairing their vehicles and and

1162
01:47:22,080 --> 01:47:27,199
or what are we talking about?
>> They handle their services as far as oil

1163
01:47:25,520 --> 01:47:31,600
changes and stuff like that. Most of
their vehicles are under warranty. These

1164
01:47:29,600 --> 01:47:37,360
are for the vehicles, the fleet vehicles
that are out of warranty. So, it's

1165
01:47:33,199 --> 01:47:40,239
typically brake jobs, um CV axles,
things like that.

1166
01:47:38,480 --> 01:47:43,600
» So, this is a good amount.
>> Yes, ma'am. That should be fine for

1167
01:47:41,840 --> 01:47:49,840
what? For this year.
>> Okay. Um, Mr. Do I ask um I don't know

1168
01:47:47,119 --> 01:47:55,360
if they still have it in um through the
graph of VOTE, but is there um an

1169
01:47:53,199 --> 01:47:59,840
automotive service that they still have
through the vocational school?

1170
01:47:57,760 --> 01:48:04,719
» I am not aware of one. I think they've
cut that out.

1171
01:48:01,199 --> 01:48:09,920
» Okay. If there were such um I know in
the past they had helped in years past

1172
01:48:07,280 --> 01:48:12,880
with basic things like oil change or
brakes and things like that, but maybe

1173
01:48:11,520 --> 01:48:16,560
that would be something to also
supplement

1174
01:48:14,400 --> 01:48:22,800
as if you know that were also available.
>> Yes, ma'am. That'd be a great option.

1175
01:48:18,639 --> 01:48:26,639
» Okay. And um and while you're there, I
know we're going to vote vote on this or

1176
01:48:25,199 --> 01:48:28,320
we can take action, but I want to ask
you a couple of more things while you're

1177
01:48:27,920 --> 01:48:33,040
up there.
>> Yes, ma'am.

1178
01:48:29,199 --> 01:48:37,760
» Um with the rainy season that is as it
is now, and I know that you guys are

1179
01:48:35,840 --> 01:48:44,800
doing the best you can. You're down, you
know, you're short. Um, is there any way

1180
01:48:40,320 --> 01:48:53,840
that we um that we can get some extra
help um in with the roadside areas now

1181
01:48:49,440 --> 01:49:00,159
and whether or not we can make um use of
more of the inmate labor. Um some of the

1182
01:48:57,440 --> 01:49:07,280
area by the time you get from the south
end to the north end, we may have three

1183
01:49:03,440 --> 01:49:14,239
or four feet of growth. Um, is there
anything further that we can do to help

1184
01:49:10,560 --> 01:49:17,199
mitigate and and take the roadside um
areas to have more care?

1185
01:49:16,239 --> 01:49:21,360
» Yes, ma'am. [clears throat] We've
actually added another crew to help

1186
01:49:18,960 --> 01:49:26,639
catch that up. Um, during a high heat
index day, the work crews have to be

1187
01:49:24,080 --> 01:49:30,480
turned in early. So, we typically have
them for about 4 hours and then we got

1188
01:49:28,639 --> 01:49:33,520
to turn them in. But, I do have a
supplemental crew that is out doing that

1189
01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:40,400
same work.
>> Okay. And I want to give a shout out um

1190
01:49:36,159 --> 01:49:46,239
Mr. Strong called me last night. Our um
that two 225 was in such bad condition

1191
01:49:43,440 --> 01:49:52,400
that he mowed it for the county to help
us out. And so if there's anything that

1192
01:49:49,040 --> 01:49:56,400
we can do to employ the um division of
correction in Lai, maybe that could

1193
01:49:54,719 --> 01:49:59,840
could help too.
>> Yes, ma'am.

1194
01:49:57,199 --> 01:50:06,480
» Okay. And I want to say on 235
yesterday, I don't know who the

1195
01:50:01,840 --> 01:50:12,560
gentleman is that ms, but he is so good.
I mean, he gets everywhere. And he had

1196
01:50:10,080 --> 01:50:17,600
it set right down in the middle and was
just And that was his last strip

1197
01:50:15,040 --> 01:50:22,320
sometimes. And I know that you hire
different people and they have to get

1198
01:50:19,760 --> 01:50:28,159
accustomed though. I I can't imagine how
they do it anyway, but um there may be

1199
01:50:25,679 --> 01:50:33,199
strips left and and things, but whoever
this gentleman is, and like I said, he

1200
01:50:30,639 --> 01:50:37,760
was on 235 yesterday. He does an
outstanding job. And if you know who it

1201
01:50:35,840 --> 01:50:40,239
is, please tell him that. We greatly
appreciate it.

1202
01:50:38,400 --> 01:50:44,400
» Yes, ma'am. I definitely will and thank
you for that recognition.

1203
01:50:41,679 --> 01:50:47,400
» Okay. For the action of the 25,000 for
approval.

1204
01:50:48,320 --> 01:50:57,520
Motion motion that we um that we approve
the additional uh 25,000 not additional

1205
01:50:54,800 --> 01:51:02,960
but that we add the uh 25,000 to the
line item uh at the sheriff's office for

1206
01:51:00,159 --> 01:51:05,440
vehicle vehicle maintenance. Okay.

01:51:03,760 --> 01:51:10,000
» Okay. Motion by Commissioner Rick and
second by Commissioner Dohy that we add

1208
01:51:07,440 --> 01:51:14,719

discussion? If not, all in favor by sign
I.

1210
01:51:15,600 --> 01:51:18,880
» All right.
Okay.

1211
01:51:18,239 --> 01:51:23,280
» Thank you.
>> Thank you.

1212
01:51:20,400 --> 01:51:29,840
» Okay. Um item seven is the approval of
the tourism development council's

1213
01:51:25,520 --> 01:51:34,880
invoice for the batting um batting cage
scoreboard and renovation upgrades to

1214
01:51:32,480 --> 01:51:42,639
the road complex. And I know we have
Miss Diana here and um she can come up

1215
01:51:39,520 --> 01:51:47,760
uh cuz I'mma put her on the spot.
So I'm putting you on the spot.

1216
01:51:45,360 --> 01:51:56,719
Um,
okay. In the in the meeting, um, the

1217
01:51:53,760 --> 01:52:02,800
Miss Diana and the board asked for
$90,000.

1218
01:51:58,400 --> 01:52:09,840
Um, but the board, um, made a
recommendation to give 150. Um, you

1219
01:52:08,159 --> 01:52:15,360
know, and I initially say, okay, they
didn't ask for 100. Just give them what

1220
01:52:11,440 --> 01:52:21,920
they asked for, the 90. So, uh, anyhow,
um, I would I'm I'm asking

1221
01:52:19,599 --> 01:52:31,199
um if this board approves, and we
haven't voted on it yet, but approve the

1222
01:52:25,040 --> 01:52:37,599
funding that our county um, uh, parks,
we have one in Lincoln City, we have the

1223
01:52:34,480 --> 01:52:43,840
Pleasant Grove, and I, I had a series of
pictures sent to me about the condition

1224
01:52:39,520 --> 01:52:50,320
of the park equipment in Pleasant Grove
and also um and you didn't know this and

1225
01:52:47,760 --> 01:52:57,599
I just got there but anyways like
example their merrygoround

1226
01:52:53,679 --> 01:53:03,199
is chained up and the kids can't use it
because it's deteriorated

1227
01:53:00,159 --> 01:53:07,119
um that th those equipment parts be
replaced so that it can be used. It's a

1228
01:53:05,040 --> 01:53:12,080
beautiful park, but if you can't use the
equipment out there for the kids and

1229
01:53:08,560 --> 01:53:17,920
it's not safe and then they're um they
have um an apparatus where they go

1230
01:53:14,560 --> 01:53:24,400
through like a I call it a jungle gym
kind of thing. Um but some of the parts

1231
01:53:20,320 --> 01:53:30,080
are deteriorated. So if this board uh
approves the funding that we that we

1232
01:53:27,040 --> 01:53:36,560
upgra up upgrade uh these pieces of
equipment or repair what could be

1233
01:53:31,920 --> 01:53:41,199
repaired. And then in the um Lincoln
City area, which is another nice park,

1234
01:53:38,400 --> 01:53:45,440
it has no lighting. Uh if they could
implement put some lighting out there

1235
01:53:43,199 --> 01:53:55,199
and the um what you call it, the
volleyball net replacement is needed. Um

1236
01:53:50,560 --> 01:53:59,840
and so just sort of be safe and um
>> you madam chair. I'd request that Mr.

1237
01:53:58,639 --> 01:54:02,000
Dods address that.
>> Yes, Mr. Dod

1238
01:54:00,719 --> 01:54:06,719
» saver on this one.
>> Okay. So, um, our maintenance supervisor

1239
01:54:04,639 --> 01:54:10,239
is currently working with trying to get
a grant for the equipment at Pleasant

1240
01:54:08,400 --> 01:54:14,960
Grove that is damaged and that's why we
have it secured where people can't get

1241
01:54:11,760 --> 01:54:17,040
in get on it or get hurt. So, but we are
working to try to get that replaced.

1242
01:54:16,639 --> 01:54:19,520
» Okay.
>> May I add to that?

1243
01:54:17,920 --> 01:54:25,920
» Yes. Um, Commissioner Ready.
>> Okay. Um, Mr. Cornay, um, uh, Dave Fox

1244
01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:32,880
from Fox Enterprise.
>> Um, myself and, um, what's the

1245
01:54:30,320 --> 01:54:37,440
» Rick Stevenson? Rick Stevenson. We met
out at Pleasant Grove. I walked over

1246
01:54:34,880 --> 01:54:41,440
every bit of that facility. Um, our
county maintenance people have done an

1247
01:54:39,280 --> 01:54:46,000
excellent job putting boards and
screwing them into the steel that's

1248
01:54:43,199 --> 01:54:50,400
there. Um, you know, making very nice
repairs. They have not repaired this one

1249
01:54:47,840 --> 01:54:56,560
here, the merrygoround, but anyway, was
out there. Um, I have uh applied through

1250
01:54:53,760 --> 01:55:00,800
the county and uh we have made a request
for $200,000

1251
01:54:58,639 --> 01:55:05,040
uh for playground upgrade at Pleasant
Grove and that was about what three

1252
01:55:03,360 --> 01:55:08,639
we've been working on it for a while. We
actually had a meeting with pictures and

1253
01:55:06,480 --> 01:55:11,520
everything getting it ready to turn in
um what about 3 weeks ago I guess.

1254
01:55:10,560 --> 01:55:16,800
» Yes, sir.
>> Okay. I appreciate that. And um so and

1255
01:55:15,199 --> 01:55:24,639
the other thing and Commissioner Rick
and and Mr. to see on. So, is there a

1256
01:55:19,760 --> 01:55:29,840
regular um I guess regular inspection or
checking on the um play equipment that

1257
01:55:27,840 --> 01:55:34,719
the county has?
>> Um the Bradford Sports United is only

1258
01:55:32,320 --> 01:55:40,000
responsible for Edwards Road and Thomas
Street. That's it. That's our um the uh

1259
01:55:38,000 --> 01:55:46,239
lease agreement we have with the city.
The other parks are not um in our scope

1260
01:55:44,400 --> 01:55:50,400
or realm of what we're doing. We're just
trying to take care of Thomas Street and

1261
01:55:47,599 --> 01:55:55,440
Edwards Road. Uh even the splash pad at
Edwards Road is still being operated and

1262
01:55:52,960 --> 01:56:01,520
run by the city. Um so we have nothing
to do with that. But I will say this

1263
01:55:57,920 --> 01:56:08,960
also um actually the same day, the same
people, we met at the Ever Road complex

1264
01:56:05,599 --> 01:56:14,800
uh with Dave Fox and um we are also
applying for a $200,000 grant to redo

1265
01:56:12,400 --> 01:56:22,000
the playground equipment at Edwards Road
and the canopy that was torn off in the

1266
01:56:18,320 --> 01:56:27,119
storm. Um the last update I got um two
weeks ago, it's supposed to be in in

1267
01:56:24,560 --> 01:56:29,679
four weeks and installed. So that canopy
will be back over that playground

1268
01:56:28,800 --> 01:56:34,639
facility.
>> Okay. And Mr. Carnegie, just and

1269
01:56:33,520 --> 01:56:40,880
Commissioner Rick, from my
understanding, whatever recreational

1270
01:56:37,760 --> 01:56:48,000
funding that we had, we actually turned
that all over to United Sports, right?

1271
01:56:45,199 --> 01:56:50,960
» Um not sure the question. Are you
talking about county funds that were

1272
01:56:50,639 --> 01:56:55,920
that were
>> the county funds that we had went to

1273
01:56:52,880 --> 01:57:00,000
them for um
>> $150,000

1274
01:56:57,440 --> 01:57:02,719
of it went to Bradford Sports United?
Yes, ma'am.

1275
01:57:01,040 --> 01:57:06,800
» And so Rachel, I'm putting you on the
spot.

1276
01:57:04,320 --> 01:57:10,239
» Did we have anything over the 150 in our
recreational category?

1277
01:57:08,400 --> 01:57:13,440
» Yes, ma'am. And each of your uh
recreation your your parks, you do have

1278
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:15,840
a maintenance line item. There is some
funding in there, some just general

1279
01:57:15,040 --> 01:57:19,840
maintenance.
>> Okay. We didn't delete those. We added

1280
01:57:18,320 --> 01:57:22,159
funds from the general fund into
recreation to handle that.

1281
01:57:21,840 --> 01:57:26,960
» All right.
>> And madam chair, I hate to be that guy,

1282
01:57:24,400 --> 01:57:29,840
but Dena, we need Dena to say her name
and tell us who she is.

1283
01:57:28,080 --> 01:57:33,599
» Sure. She'll be glad to so we can
correctly pronounce it.

1284
01:57:31,119 --> 01:57:35,520
» Dina Diana uh with Bradford Sports
United.

1285
01:57:34,400 --> 01:57:40,800
» Thank you.
>> And Dena, uh Miss Diana, thank you for

1286
01:57:38,639 --> 01:57:46,400
letting me put you on the spot um with
that. you all um have done um an

1287
01:57:44,000 --> 01:57:55,199
excellent job um with the sports united
and Commissioner Reic um at the helm and

1288
01:57:49,199 --> 01:58:00,560
helping. Um so anyhow um I just wanted
to [laughter] make sure that we can

1289
01:57:57,360 --> 01:58:07,119
consider uh if this board approved the
extra fund that it can also help with

1290
01:58:03,199 --> 01:58:11,199
the county um parks because I do know
that the DD funds can be used for

1291
01:58:08,880 --> 01:58:14,159
recreational things. Okay.
>> But only to bring in tourists.

1292
01:58:13,199 --> 01:58:19,760
» Yeah.
>> They can the funding can only be used

1293
01:58:15,760 --> 01:58:24,800
for tourists. Um to put heads in beds um
and um

1294
01:58:23,040 --> 01:58:29,360
» uh they can the funding cannot be used
for salaries or anything like that. Can

1295
01:58:26,800 --> 01:58:32,239
only be used strictly to bring people
into the city. You you want to read that

1296
01:58:31,679 --> 01:58:36,159
one?
>> Yeah. It's uh so one of the definitions

1297
01:58:34,639 --> 01:58:44,960
of
what is it like for the TDC is um to

1298
01:58:42,719 --> 01:58:50,080
recreation activities have to bring
community members from outside of their

1299
01:58:47,520 --> 01:58:57,119
county into the county for either an
overnight stay or a day that's going to

1300
01:58:53,679 --> 01:59:00,480
bring extra money into the town. So for
gas or

1301
01:58:58,480 --> 01:59:05,040
» hotel stays or restaurants, whatever it
might be, but they have to bring people

1302
01:59:01,840 --> 01:59:08,320
in to spend the duration of the day
essentially.

1303
01:59:06,719 --> 01:59:10,080
» Okay. All right.
>> Thank you.

1304
01:59:08,800 --> 01:59:11,119
» Can I ask a question while you're still
there?

1305
01:59:10,480 --> 01:59:12,719
» Yeah.
>> Do you mind, chair?

1306
01:59:12,239 --> 01:59:16,320
» Yes. Go.
>> I just I was curious. I had heard maybe

1307
01:59:14,480 --> 01:59:23,440
it's been in a newspaper. I I do not
know. But what has the uh um community

1308
01:59:20,560 --> 01:59:26,639
involvement been so far with youth
signing up for the different sports?

1309
01:59:24,960 --> 01:59:32,480
what's happened so far.
>> Um, so are you asking like how many kids

1310
01:59:29,360 --> 01:59:39,199
have signed up? Okay. Yeah, for sure. So
for the fall, we've had 256 kids sign up

1311
01:59:36,239 --> 01:59:45,520
for softball and baseball and that
season lasted March until about June.

1312
01:59:43,119 --> 01:59:48,800
And then for flag football, we had 50
kids sign up. So we had three teams and

1313
01:59:47,440 --> 01:59:52,320
I think that was one of the first years
that we've had flag football in the

1314
01:59:50,719 --> 01:59:58,400
county. I know we had tackle football,
but to bring flag and get 50 people for

1315
01:59:54,800 --> 02:00:03,199
our first year, that was great. Um, this
fall season right now, we have 206 kids

1316
02:00:01,040 --> 02:00:08,159
sign up, and you can typically estimate
half of what you had in the spring. So,

1317
02:00:06,400 --> 02:00:13,119
we're already surpassed that, which is
wonderful. That means we're growing. Um,

1318
02:00:10,239 --> 02:00:16,880
and we have 16 teams this spring or this
fall, excuse me. And then for flag

1319
02:00:15,119 --> 02:00:20,719
football, I think we have 20 kids signed
up right now, but that season doesn't

1320
02:00:18,400 --> 02:00:26,560
start until November and December. So,
we'll have seasons going on from now.

1321
02:00:24,560 --> 02:00:30,480
They've already started, so August until
December. And then we'll pick um

1322
02:00:28,960 --> 02:00:37,040
softball and baseball back up in
February. So, we only really have

1323
02:00:32,800 --> 02:00:42,239
January and like June and July off and
everything else. There should be people

1324
02:00:38,719 --> 02:00:45,360
coming into the town for tournaments or
games and all of that kind of

1325
02:00:43,760 --> 02:00:48,400
recreation. Yes.
>> Thank you very much.

1326
02:00:46,719 --> 02:00:52,239
» That's informative. tell them about the
work day and the participation.

1327
02:00:50,159 --> 02:00:58,960
» Oh yeah, if you don't mind. So, we also
had a work day just last last Saturday

1328
02:00:55,119 --> 02:01:04,400
or two Saturdays ago, um August 22nd,
and we had

1329
02:01:01,199 --> 02:01:09,760
a list of probably 15 to 20 things that
we needed to get checked off before we

1330
02:01:06,960 --> 02:01:15,520
could get our our season started. And I
think we had about 30 to 45 people that

1331
02:01:12,880 --> 02:01:19,040
ended up coming out in groups of five.
So people would come, some would leave,

1332
02:01:17,040 --> 02:01:23,119
and more would come back. And we ended
up getting everything that was on that

1333
02:01:20,800 --> 02:01:27,440
list completed, which was amazing
because no one there was getting paid. I

1334
02:01:25,440 --> 02:01:31,040
paid them in lunch, but other than that,
no one was getting paid. They all just

1335
02:01:28,960 --> 02:01:34,880
came out because they see the good
things that we're doing in the community

1336
02:01:32,480 --> 02:01:38,800
and for the kids, and they just wanted
to put their time in. Some were coaches,

1337
02:01:36,800 --> 02:01:45,280
some were just families, community
members. Um, who is the new commissioner

1338
02:01:42,080 --> 02:01:49,599
that came out? What was his name? Jason
Bennett. Jason Bennett came out which we

1339
02:01:48,159 --> 02:01:54,000
were very thankful for because he's
really strong and some of the stuff we

1340
02:01:51,760 --> 02:01:59,040
were doing. We had to toast some posts
and um he did an excellent job.

1341
02:01:56,239 --> 02:02:05,520
» Yeah. Yeah. So him and uh we had the the
new baseball coach. He was out there. Um

1342
02:02:02,960 --> 02:02:10,080
I can't everyone's names are slipping
but they we had Antoine Brown. Yeah. We

1343
02:02:08,320 --> 02:02:13,599
had so many people there just from the
community whether it's coaches and

1344
02:02:11,760 --> 02:02:17,760
community members. So, they see the good
that we're doing and they they want to

1345
02:02:15,360 --> 02:02:24,239
buy in, which is great.
>> And I will say this, what just amazed me

1346
02:02:19,920 --> 02:02:29,119
is um we had two skid steers out there
and then another uh gentleman I know

1347
02:02:27,199 --> 02:02:32,960
their names, but I don't want to mention
them because um you I'll put put them on

1348
02:02:31,440 --> 02:02:37,840
the spot. But anyway, we had another
gentleman bring a huge lift with big

1349
02:02:35,520 --> 02:02:41,679
tires on it and drove it to all the ball
fields, redoing all the netting behind

1350
02:02:39,840 --> 02:02:46,000
the back stops. It was it was just
amazing. If you'd have seen all the

1351
02:02:43,040 --> 02:02:49,199
people there and again the work that got
done it was just amazing.

1352
02:02:47,760 --> 02:02:52,960
» Yeah.
>> Okay.

1353
02:02:50,800 --> 02:02:57,280
Um so do you have any plans for the
extra 60?

1354
02:02:54,880 --> 02:03:03,760
» Yeah. So I mean any extra money that we
can receive is only going to help one

1355
02:02:59,840 --> 02:03:09,840
the kids and two the program. So
we have we got the 150 from the county.

1356
02:03:06,719 --> 02:03:15,599
We got the 150 from the city, but
without funding, it's very hard to

1357
02:03:12,719 --> 02:03:21,119
continue to provide for the kids and do
the stuff that we do. To break down um

1358
02:03:18,560 --> 02:03:26,320
our registration really fast, we charge
$100 for

1359
02:03:23,599 --> 02:03:32,639
8U through 12U or 8U through 14U
depending on softball and baseball and

1360
02:03:28,960 --> 02:03:40,480
then 75 for T-ball.
$65 of that goes to uniforms because

1361
02:03:35,840 --> 02:03:45,679
it's $35 for a jersey and $30 for a hat
and then the rest of it goes to umpire.

1362
02:03:42,639 --> 02:03:53,040
So, we are we have no more of that. For
flag football, it's $50. Same thing,

1363
02:03:48,639 --> 02:03:57,760
it's $35 for their jersey top. Um, but
the rest of that money ends up going to

1364
02:03:55,280 --> 02:04:02,960
their official fees. And the reason why
we do $100 is because we do have

1365
02:03:59,840 --> 02:04:08,719
families that can't afford it. So, we're
trying to keep it as

1366
02:04:05,679 --> 02:04:12,400
reasonable and inexpensive as possible
without breaking their pockets. Um

1367
02:04:10,880 --> 02:04:17,920
because that's how we're going to get
more kids in. So, if we can get these

1368
02:04:15,679 --> 02:04:22,800
grants and these extra funds, we'll be
able to continue to keep our prices low

1369
02:04:20,960 --> 02:04:28,320
rather than having to raise our price
cuz everyone around us is between $130

1370
02:04:25,119 --> 02:04:32,639
and $150 if we continue, like I said, to
get these fundings. We can keep our

1371
02:04:29,840 --> 02:04:36,560
price low and continue to get as many
kids as we do because they can afford to

1372
02:04:35,440 --> 02:04:40,080
play.
>> Okay. Thank you. And thank you for

1373
02:04:38,400 --> 02:04:43,280
letting me put you on the spot.
>> May I add one thing,

1374
02:04:41,280 --> 02:04:47,520
» Commissioner Ready? And and also I
really want to thank Andy Reading

1375
02:04:44,719 --> 02:04:53,760
because this was like um a total shock
when he recommended giving us 150. But

1376
02:04:50,239 --> 02:04:58,880
also Andy Reading um has been out to the
fields. He sees what we're doing. The

1377
02:04:55,840 --> 02:05:02,960
last 150 that we got from the TDC board,
we probably stretched that and turned it

1378
02:05:00,560 --> 02:05:07,760
into about $250,000 worth of
improvements. And I tell you, if we get

1379
02:05:05,440 --> 02:05:10,719
the 150 this time, we've already been
talking about it quite a bit. We're

1380
02:05:09,119 --> 02:05:15,199
going to try and stretch that end to
close to $300,000 worth of improvements.

1381
02:05:13,840 --> 02:05:21,360
Now, what does that mean? That means
that the more improvements we can do to

1382
02:05:17,520 --> 02:05:25,040
that facility, the more teams um that
we'll be able to bring in, the the

1383
02:05:23,679 --> 02:05:31,360
better tournaments we'll be able to
have. Um because

1384
02:05:29,040 --> 02:05:34,719
without the tournaments,
this program is going to go broke in

1385
02:05:32,960 --> 02:05:38,560
about three years. That's the bottom
line. We've got to be able to bring in

1386
02:05:36,480 --> 02:05:42,400
good tournaments. Uh Babe Ruth
Association's already been talking to us

1387
02:05:40,800 --> 02:05:45,840
if we can pick up the district
tournament. Uh we won't be able to pick

1388
02:05:44,239 --> 02:05:49,920
it up in the spring season, but they're
definitely talking to us about picking

1389
02:05:47,199 --> 02:05:52,159
it us up next year. That brought in what
was it? 3,500 people

1390
02:05:51,280 --> 02:05:57,679
» just about. Yeah.
>> 3,500 people to PALA where they hosted

1391
02:05:54,960 --> 02:06:04,239
it our the last uh Babe Ruth tournament.
So again, Andy Reading has seen that the

1392
02:06:02,239 --> 02:06:11,360
more people we bring in, that's more
money going back in to the heads, the

1393
02:06:06,960 --> 02:06:14,800
beds, and um which also improves the TDC
funding. Um and board, I just want to

1394
02:06:13,520 --> 02:06:22,760
run this by you. I didn't know if you
knew this. Right now, the current

1395
02:06:17,280 --> 02:06:22,760
balance in the TDC is $855,59753.

1396
02:06:24,560 --> 02:06:36,199
There's $500,000 in a um a CD earning
3.7% interest. So there's three thou

1397
02:06:33,199 --> 02:06:36,199
$353,59753

1398
02:06:38,159 --> 02:06:48,760
in the checking account. And also I
figured it up from this year it's

1399
02:06:44,239 --> 02:06:48,760
bringing an average of $20,26349

1400
02:06:49,360 --> 02:06:59,199
in per month off the uh bed tax. So, the
TDC is doing good, but if we can get

1401
02:06:57,520 --> 02:07:04,000
this facility improved to bring in
better quality tournaments, again,

1402
02:07:01,360 --> 02:07:07,960
that's going to help the TDC to grow.
And the biggest benefit

1403
02:07:08,159 --> 02:07:17,280
over everything um excuse me, is our
kids because and that's what Andy Redd

1404
02:07:14,159 --> 02:07:23,599
sees. He sees that our kids will be able
to benefit by this extra money which

1405
02:07:20,800 --> 02:07:30,880
without the TDC money would never
happen. It would never happen. So,

1406
02:07:27,920 --> 02:07:39,658
and Pam was at the meeting and again I I
thank Andy for for um for for thinking

1407
02:07:34,719 --> 02:07:42,480
outside the box and really helping us.
[clears throat]

1408
02:07:39,760 --> 02:07:48,400
» Thank you all. You've done a good job in
and presenting. Um, if you've heard the

1409
02:07:44,239 --> 02:07:55,599
wishes um for the um approval of 120,
excuse me, $150,000

1410
02:07:50,800 --> 02:08:01,040
u from the TDC um for the uh Bradford
United.

1411
02:07:57,199 --> 02:08:04,880
» I make a motion to approve the 150,000
from TDC.

1412
02:08:02,239 --> 02:08:08,800
» Okay. Motion by Commissioner Dhy uh and
second by Commissioner Andrews. Um any

1413
02:08:07,360 --> 02:08:10,480
further discussion or questions? All in
favor sign I. Hi.

1414
02:08:10,000 --> 02:08:15,679
» Hi.
>> Okay, we go four or Thank you.

1415
02:08:14,000 --> 02:08:22,079
» Thank you. Thank you.
>> Okay. Um,

1416
02:08:18,000 --> 02:08:27,840
next important item, item eight, um,
regarding the approval to declare the

1417
02:08:24,560 --> 02:08:36,400
301, uh, vacant warehouse building, um,
which is our commerce building, which is

1418
02:08:31,520 --> 02:08:41,920
the Douglas building, um, at 142 81 US
Highway 301 south of Stark. parcel

1419
02:08:39,280 --> 02:08:48,239
number 04712-
0-00000000

1420
02:08:44,320 --> 02:08:55,599
as a surplus property and I I wanted us
to be able to discuss uh what that means

1421
02:08:52,079 --> 02:09:02,000
for us um what it means for the county
um what did it what does it obligate us

1422
02:08:58,400 --> 02:09:09,280
to do what are the rules surrounding it
and um our attorney um when I was

1423
02:09:06,719 --> 02:09:16,239
looking at it and and I asked Mr.
Carnegie as well. I said, "Well, if we

1424
02:09:12,159 --> 02:09:22,960
surplus the building, does it um limit
our ability to lease it to to

1425
02:09:20,159 --> 02:09:26,320
some entity that may be interested in
it?" Cuz sometimes when you think of

1426
02:09:25,040 --> 02:09:31,119
when you surplus something, you say,
"Well, you know, we don't really have

1427
02:09:28,079 --> 02:09:36,639
any use of this anymore. Let's sell it
off." And it is my understanding that it

1428
02:09:34,560 --> 02:09:42,639
still would not prohibit us from being
able to lease it if we have an entity

1429
02:09:38,639 --> 02:09:50,960
who wanted to come and and lease it um
from us that we could still do that or

1430
02:09:45,280 --> 02:09:57,119
we're not restricted to take um I guess
the offer if it's not what we want

1431
02:09:54,639 --> 02:10:00,400
want to correct. Uh
>> your understandings that you've

1432
02:09:58,639 --> 02:10:05,199
articulated are all correct.
>> Okay.

1433
02:10:02,320 --> 02:10:12,320
Okay. Well, thank you. And then the
other question I had is that I know that

1434
02:10:08,000 --> 02:10:19,119
under the um Florida statutes 1250
45 um that

1435
02:10:15,360 --> 02:10:27,360
um the county could through the economic
development category, you know, label as

1436
02:10:22,880 --> 02:10:32,239
such. But if we do based on the statute
125 U 2035

1437
02:10:30,079 --> 02:10:41,840
is the surplus. It means that you would
put it out um you know for for bid to

1438
02:10:37,280 --> 02:10:47,199
whomever wants to and then give it a
offer it the highest bidder that that we

1439
02:10:45,119 --> 02:10:54,000
would accept that if that's what we want
to do.

1440
02:10:48,639 --> 02:10:58,320
» Yeah. you you and I I don't want to
correct to answer your question. Yes.

1441
02:10:56,560 --> 02:11:02,400
What you've just articulated is correct.
That's what would happen.

1442
02:10:59,440 --> 02:11:06,000
» Okay. You don't have to accept any.
You you and I think that's what you're I

1443
02:11:05,040 --> 02:11:11,360
don't want to assume that's what you're
getting at, but in other words, your

1444
02:11:08,000 --> 02:11:16,960
options are all available to you up and
any any action that you took

1445
02:11:14,239 --> 02:11:20,960
today uh on deciding before you would
not preclude you in the future from

1446
02:11:19,199 --> 02:11:26,079
deciding this isn't enough. We've
decided to go in a different direction.

1447
02:11:22,960 --> 02:11:31,199
All of those things you could you those
options all remain available to you.

1448
02:11:28,639 --> 02:11:35,199
Yes, sir. And thank you for um
clarifying that for me. But I wanted our

1449
02:11:32,960 --> 02:11:39,520
citizens to know that this doesn't limit
us. It doesn't say that we're going to

1450
02:11:36,639 --> 02:11:44,639
go out and sell it tomorrow or or it
doesn't um obligated us obligate us to

1451
02:11:42,560 --> 02:11:50,159
sell it, but we can still lease it if we
had a a generous offer. Okay. But those

1452
02:11:48,400 --> 02:11:54,880
those are the things that is correct.
>> Okay. That I wanted to

1453
02:11:52,800 --> 02:11:58,320
any comment discussion from the board?
Miss Andrew, do you have something?

1454
02:11:56,320 --> 02:12:00,159
» And and it would come back before the
board,

1455
02:11:59,199 --> 02:12:05,599
» correct?
>> Oh, absolutely. Okay. Um, yes.

1456
02:12:03,280 --> 02:12:09,199
» I was just just making sure that someone
else couldn't make the decision and then

1457
02:12:07,440 --> 02:12:13,679
it just be presented to the board. This
is what we got. I would like to know

1458
02:12:11,199 --> 02:12:19,040
that it would come back before the board
for their approval.

1459
02:12:15,280 --> 02:12:23,520
» It would uh and
what you described as a scenario would

1460
02:12:21,920 --> 02:12:27,920
not happen. In other words, it would not
be somebody who goes on your behalf and

1461
02:12:26,000 --> 02:12:33,920
enters into a contract that you're now
bound to honor

1462
02:12:30,400 --> 02:12:37,119
um down the road if you later decide
that that's not what you you know the

1463
02:12:35,840 --> 02:12:42,400
direction you wanted to go or wasn't
enough or what for whatever reason that

1464
02:12:39,599 --> 02:12:47,520
that the board decides to not move in a
direction that would was recommended to

1465
02:12:44,480 --> 02:12:52,239
you or offered to you, you you retain
the ability to change direction.

1466
02:12:50,239 --> 02:12:59,280
» Okay.
Okay. Any other questions, discussion?

1467
02:12:56,800 --> 02:13:01,920
» Yes. Um, Miss Miss Rhoden.
>> Thank you, Madam Chair. Just a quick

1468
02:13:00,480 --> 02:13:06,960
question. It might be a question that
the county attorney um so property

1469
02:13:04,639 --> 02:13:10,320
liability insurance. Our normal practice
is when we surplus an item, we go ahead

1470
02:13:08,719 --> 02:13:13,119
and remove it from the liability
insurance as well as our asset because

1471
02:13:12,000 --> 02:13:15,679
we're getting rid of it. But in this
case, we're not, it sounds like. So,

1472
02:13:14,719 --> 02:13:18,960
» I would not.
>> So, I just wanted to confirm we still

1473
02:13:17,199 --> 02:13:21,360
need to keep it insured.
>> Oh, absolutely.

1474
02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:28,000
» Okay. Thank you.
>> Okay. All right. Okay. Anything else?

1475
02:13:26,400 --> 02:13:34,320
All right.
That helped my head.

1476
02:13:30,239 --> 02:13:40,079
All right. All right. Um, do I have a
motion for the approval to declare the

1477
02:13:37,040 --> 02:13:45,152
301 vacant warehouse building, better
known to us as the Douglas building, um,

1478
02:13:42,639 --> 02:13:47,679
as surplus?
[clears throat]

1479
02:13:46,159 --> 02:13:50,480
» Yes. I'll make the motion to approve the
surplus property.

1480
02:13:48,639 --> 02:13:53,199
» Okay. The motion by Commissioner
Doherty. Uh, is there a second to the

1481
02:13:52,400 --> 02:13:58,239
motion?
>> Second.

1482
02:13:54,560 --> 02:14:01,199
» Second by Commissioner Rick. Um, any
further discussion or questions? All in

1483
02:13:59,920 --> 02:14:07,239
favor?
>> I I

1484
02:14:02,400 --> 02:14:07,239
» Okay. All right. Thank you.

1485
02:14:07,440 --> 02:14:15,599
Whoa. All right. At this time, we
received the clerk report. Mr. Thompson,

1486
02:14:12,800 --> 02:14:18,719
» I don't have anything. Uh again, I want
to thank the board this year for getting

1487
02:14:16,800 --> 02:14:22,560
the budget early, for us all getting
together and getting this thing done

1488
02:14:19,840 --> 02:14:27,599
early. It was so much easier and it'll
also impact us again on our next audit

1489
02:14:25,920 --> 02:14:32,560
when it comes around. We'll be well
prepared for that with our budgets

1490
02:14:29,440 --> 02:14:35,119
getting in early and and and all that. I
do appreciate it.

1491
02:14:33,440 --> 02:14:37,920
» If you don't mind, I I do have a
question.

1492
02:14:35,520 --> 02:14:40,960
» Okay. Go ahead, Miss Angress. Um, I've
heard of a lot of different

1493
02:14:39,440 --> 02:14:47,280
organizations
um

1494
02:14:42,639 --> 02:14:52,480
like moving the bank account into um an
establishment where they can earn more

1495
02:14:50,239 --> 02:14:55,280
interest or something. Is that something
that we've looked at or

1496
02:14:54,480 --> 02:14:59,840
» we constantly
>> consideration?

1497
02:14:56,719 --> 02:15:03,360
» We have our um reserve funds that we
keep invested and I've always shopped

1498
02:15:01,679 --> 02:15:09,840
around locally to the banks to get the
best CD rates on them. I've always went

1499
02:15:05,679 --> 02:15:14,480
between uh TD community DLP and uh
Capital City, but there's all there's

1500
02:15:12,320 --> 02:15:19,520
new people entering the area now and
they're talking about

1501
02:15:17,119 --> 02:15:24,719
actually I I was giving a presentation
the other day of over 100,000 a year in

1502
02:15:21,440 --> 02:15:28,320
savings on the operating accounts
>> and that's what I had heard.

1503
02:15:25,920 --> 02:15:32,480
» Yeah. I mean, so I'm getting some um
starting to get some input like that.

1504
02:15:30,400 --> 02:15:37,440
That was very impressive. And they say
they can beat the CD rates. Yeah.

1505
02:15:35,840 --> 02:15:42,159
» So, that's that's definitely something
we will look at in the future. I want to

1506
02:15:39,280 --> 02:15:46,800
take the board's guidance on that. Um,
you know, but I mean, I shop banks

1507
02:15:45,360 --> 02:15:50,639
anywhere in the country, right?
>> You know, the way banking is now, but,

1508
02:15:49,440 --> 02:15:54,880
uh, we don't want to do that. We want to
keep it local most we can.

1509
02:15:52,400 --> 02:15:59,679
» Oh, yeah. I think we got some good
options out there, too.

1510
02:15:56,320 --> 02:16:05,360
» We do. We sure do.
>> Yes. Okay. All right. Um, any other

1511
02:16:03,199 --> 02:16:07,840
questions for the the clerk? All right.
And

1512
02:16:06,719 --> 02:16:10,480
» that's that's it, ma'am.
>> All right. Thank you.

1513
02:16:09,040 --> 02:16:13,119
» Oh, I did miss Miss Miss Bler, I'm
sorry. I did want to say I was thinking

1514
02:16:11,679 --> 02:16:15,599
about the sheriff's here at
>> the parks. You were I don't know if he

1515
02:16:14,639 --> 02:16:19,280
was in here when we were talking about
the parks while ago and she was talking

1516
02:16:17,360 --> 02:16:22,880
about the equipment being run down. When
we I was at the sheriff's office and

1517
02:16:20,800 --> 02:16:25,840
even now since I've been here, it's a
constant thing with people out there.

1518
02:16:24,320 --> 02:16:30,079
We've tried to put lights up, they shoot
them down. We take and try to keep the

1519
02:16:28,159 --> 02:16:33,920
bathrooms nice and clean. They rip the
sinks off the wall. They

1520
02:16:32,240 --> 02:16:38,399
rip the plumbing out of the wall. They
kick kick kick until they we have to pay

1521
02:16:36,399 --> 02:16:44,559
uh you know a plumbing company a lot of
money to come in there and put all that

1522
02:16:39,679 --> 02:16:48,000
plumbing back in. But if you guys
or anybody else I don't know what the

1523
02:16:46,240 --> 02:16:52,479
answer is to give all y'all a key to go
unlock them in the morning and lock them

1524
02:16:50,000 --> 02:16:58,559
in the afternoon about 6:00 or or what
to stop this vandalism but it's been

1525
02:16:55,359 --> 02:17:02,319
ongoing problem for the last 18 years.
>> It's any part doesn't matter. I can tell

1526
02:17:00,880 --> 02:17:07,319
you being the police chief got
vandalized most every

1527
02:17:07,439 --> 02:17:16,040
cameras up
and go every every

1528
02:17:13,040 --> 02:17:16,040
other

1529
02:17:17,375 --> 02:17:19,394
[snorts]

1530
02:17:24,080 --> 02:17:29,399
summer time they want their birthday
parties in the afternoon

1531
02:17:29,760 --> 02:17:32,000
they

1532
02:17:33,120 --> 02:17:36,679
versus win.

1533
02:17:37,024 --> 02:17:43,880
[clears throat]
We

1534
02:17:40,880 --> 02:17:43,880
came

1535
02:17:50,240 --> 02:17:53,240
out.

1536
02:17:58,639 --> 02:18:02,719
[clears throat]
>> All right. Um, anything else from the

1537
02:18:01,599 --> 02:18:05,359
» That's it. I just want when you were
talking about the maintenance budget, I

1538
02:18:04,160 --> 02:18:08,399
was just going to say that maintenance
budget doesn't go far when you're

1539
02:18:06,800 --> 02:18:11,599
replacing all those fixtures.
>> Okay.

1540
02:18:10,000 --> 02:18:14,960
All right. Sheriff, you're next.
Anything for us?

1541
02:18:12,800 --> 02:18:21,000
» No, ma'am. [clears throat]
Get through the budget process

1542
02:18:18,000 --> 02:18:21,000
again.

1543
02:18:24,800 --> 02:18:32,559
» Well, thank you. And then I got you on
the spot. Uh the I saw I saw on the

1544
02:18:29,760 --> 02:18:36,240
Facebook the the removal of the flock
flock camera. Is that correct?

1545
02:18:34,719 --> 02:18:40,639
» License plate reader.
>> Okay. Our decision until some

1546
02:18:38,719 --> 02:18:44,800
legislation can be enacted to make sure
we're also

1547
02:18:42,880 --> 02:18:47,800
privacy.
>> Yes.

1548
02:18:48,719 --> 02:18:55,920
We pulled ours contract still there but
until we get some legislation done when

1549
02:18:52,800 --> 02:18:59,040
somebody misused. I spoke to Mark
yesterday. Matter of fact, we was having

1550
02:18:57,200 --> 02:19:03,200
discussion when we got notice from the
governor's office. We knew something was

1551
02:19:00,319 --> 02:19:07,200
coming. Uh it helps us in the contract
when the permits get pulled that we're

1552
02:19:05,359 --> 02:19:13,439
not in violating our contract. We have
these companies. Every every county has

1553
02:19:10,319 --> 02:19:16,160
something. I remember one sheriff said,
"What are you going to do

1554
02:19:13,966 --> 02:19:20,319
[clears throat] about
they didn't know we had

1555
02:19:19,040 --> 02:19:24,240
those and some people were leaving them
up?" Some sheriff were leaving them up

1556
02:19:21,840 --> 02:19:28,479
in the county right away. counties like
voted not in the county right away it's

1557
02:19:26,960 --> 02:19:34,240
a
security look until the next great

1558
02:19:31,359 --> 02:19:37,599
murder abduction happen it's going to go
one way but I have learned doing

1559
02:19:36,000 --> 02:19:43,519
something I can tell you this two weeks
ago we was able to call this back um the

1560
02:19:41,599 --> 02:19:50,640
phone once we got the little picture
back we had a lady in our county $8,000

1561
02:19:48,000 --> 02:19:54,560
I was able to do the practice once we
got the dealership name off the back of

1562
02:19:52,479 --> 02:19:59,280
vehicle back to the dealership.
Dealership is able to phone number the

1563
02:19:56,960 --> 02:20:05,080
phone. We back
and this this is going to be so far over

1564
02:20:01,920 --> 02:20:05,080
$2 million

1565
02:20:07,439 --> 02:20:16,479
success after success. However, it's a
balance of keep our community safe while

1566
02:20:13,520 --> 02:20:20,880
also
we get some legislation punishment and I

1567
02:20:18,560 --> 02:20:25,439
don't want our data. I still have big
briefness to all your data with driver's

1568
02:20:23,040 --> 02:20:29,359
license
insurance companies and everything else.

1569
02:20:27,040 --> 02:20:33,080
That's okay.
I want to sell our dat.

1570
02:20:43,600 --> 02:20:50,240
» Yes. So, are you taking them from all
areas or just

1571
02:20:47,359 --> 02:20:54,479
» Okay. Yes, sir. And that that that
concern I know you have to by law do

1572
02:20:52,720 --> 02:20:57,680
follow the law pick them off the state
rope and I'm thinking about in cases

1573
02:20:56,080 --> 02:21:05,280
where they have helped with child
abduction with those kind we all trust

1574
02:21:01,840 --> 02:21:08,479
me my phone's not quick step out earlier
but other sheriffs are calling we're all

1575
02:21:06,960 --> 02:21:15,280
trying to figure we all worry about the
same things we want guy we're in

1576
02:21:11,439 --> 02:21:19,920
business protect our communities
right we are

1577
02:21:17,280 --> 02:21:19,920
constitutional rights

1578
02:21:27,680 --> 02:21:33,760
Yes.
>> Right. And I appreciate and I just, you

1579
02:21:31,840 --> 02:21:38,399
know, you all have to deal with some
very um

1580
02:21:35,840 --> 02:21:44,800
um emotional situations when you you you
encounter death where somebody has

1581
02:21:41,280 --> 02:21:52,000
murdered another person and um that's um
a big toll on your your staff. Um and um

1582
02:21:49,120 --> 02:21:58,640
so I commend the people who are having
to go out there and and deal with

1583
02:21:55,280 --> 02:22:02,640
you. We're big enough to small work.
we're somehow connected

1584
02:22:01,359 --> 02:22:06,399
whether it be your kids at school with
them, whether it be somebody you work

1585
02:22:04,319 --> 02:22:11,160
with that we're all some kind of parent
connected that makes it more.

1586
02:22:11,359 --> 02:22:19,760
» Okay. Thank you. Um any
county manager? [clears throat]

1587
02:22:18,080 --> 02:22:25,120
» Yes, ma'am. Thank you, Madam Chair. One
thing I'd like to bring up is uh Patriot

1588
02:22:22,479 --> 02:22:30,479
Day is coming up here next week or in a
little over a week. 911. uh will be here

1589
02:22:28,000 --> 02:22:35,680
before you know it. And of course we um
we take the time out in our busy

1590
02:22:32,479 --> 02:22:39,200
schedules to remember uh those that were
um killed tragically at the World Trade

1591
02:22:37,680 --> 02:22:45,760
Centers and other areas of our country
back in 2002.

1592
02:22:41,680 --> 02:22:49,280
Um what I would like to say is that uh I
don't know how many years we've been

1593
02:22:46,880 --> 02:22:55,359
doing this now, Chief, but the fire
department does a stair climb that day

1594
02:22:51,520 --> 02:22:59,943
on 911 at the uh football stadium. So,
we'd like to invite everyone to come out

1595
02:22:56,960 --> 02:23:03,680
and participate in that. Um,
[laughter]

1596
02:23:01,520 --> 02:23:07,439
you me and you, me and you stand there
and watch, sheriff. We'll supervise.

1597
02:23:05,600 --> 02:23:12,240
But, uh, but yeah, I just wanted to make
everyone mindful of that. And then the

1598
02:23:09,760 --> 02:23:16,479
last thing is on the last page of your
agenda. We have listed the upcoming

1599
02:23:14,319 --> 02:23:21,200
meetings. I'll read them off for the
record. Uh the first is the public

1600
02:23:19,359 --> 02:23:27,920
hearing to adopt the tentative millage
rate and budget on Tuesday, September

1601
02:23:23,760 --> 02:23:32,000
10th, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. The second is
the public hearing to adopt the final

1602
02:23:29,760 --> 02:23:37,760
millage rate and budget Tuesday,
September 22nd, 2026 at 6 p.m. And the

1603
02:23:36,160 --> 02:23:42,319
third, of course, is your regularly
scheduled board of county commission

1604
02:23:39,600 --> 02:23:49,200
meetings. However, it will be on Tuesday
rather than Thursday, September 22nd,

1605
02:23:45,200 --> 02:23:50,880
2026 at 6:30 p.m.
>> All right,

1606
02:23:49,680 --> 02:23:55,359
» that's all I have, Madam Chair.
>> Okay, thank you. um our attorney with

1607
02:23:54,399 --> 02:24:02,560
Bradley.
>> Um just real quick um that discussion

1608
02:23:59,040 --> 02:24:07,840
about the flock cameras um
because it all it does get into sort of

1609
02:24:04,880 --> 02:24:14,240
some legal things about um fourth
amendment protections and that sort of

1610
02:24:09,840 --> 02:24:18,800
thing. Um but you know there are certain
things that are true

1611
02:24:16,240 --> 02:24:23,040
even though our society is so rapidly
changing when it comes to you know

1612
02:24:21,040 --> 02:24:32,399
computers and the internet and social
media then you know now we say AI. Um

1613
02:24:27,120 --> 02:24:36,640
but the concept that if it's free
you're the product

1614
02:24:34,640 --> 02:24:42,880
» has been true for a long time. Like when
someone buys you lunch, usually they're

1615
02:24:38,399 --> 02:24:48,240
trying to sell you something. When um
Facebook offers you a free social media,

1616
02:24:45,920 --> 02:24:52,560
they are tracking you and what you care
about and what you want and what you

1617
02:24:50,319 --> 02:24:59,280
like and what you desire and all of
that. Um, and so when the balance that

1618
02:24:57,359 --> 02:25:06,160
the sheriff's talking about is very
reasonable and what you have to be

1619
02:25:01,840 --> 02:25:10,319
mindful of is what are the the the
people who own the cameras and use the

1620
02:25:08,080 --> 02:25:14,720
cameras.
Um, you know, what is the arrangement

1621
02:25:12,960 --> 02:25:17,920
with them?
If you're getting a good deal, it's

1622
02:25:16,240 --> 02:25:22,560
usually because they're getting
something.

1623
02:25:20,640 --> 02:25:26,720
And and that's what he's talking about.
I I when I hear the sheriff talk about

1624
02:25:25,359 --> 02:25:32,319
because he's always been a good Fourth
Amendment uh person balancing these

1625
02:25:28,720 --> 02:25:37,520
things. Um but that's what we got to be
mindful of going forward is, you know,

1626
02:25:34,960 --> 02:25:42,800
if you're using it for certain things
and the data is protected.

1627
02:25:40,479 --> 02:25:48,720
Um
that's one thing. If it's if it's then

1628
02:25:45,600 --> 02:25:54,960
collected and then monetized,
that's yours and it's being used for

1629
02:25:51,439 --> 02:25:58,160
things that are beyond what um perhaps
you know the good things that come of

1630
02:25:56,560 --> 02:26:02,319
it. And so that's the balance that
everybody's dealing with right now.

1631
02:25:59,920 --> 02:26:06,040
» There's nothing wrong with
it,

1632
02:26:03,040 --> 02:26:06,040
» right?

1633
02:26:09,359 --> 02:26:15,040
People say, "Oh, what are they going to
do about the toll booth?" I can tell you

1634
02:26:13,439 --> 02:26:18,319
that the toll boost don't sell your
data.

1635
02:26:16,399 --> 02:26:24,240
» They don't use it for that. I got to get
subpoena and sometimes they warrant it,

1636
02:26:22,479 --> 02:26:25,840
» right? Which is how it should be.
Another

1637
02:26:24,800 --> 02:26:31,120
» how it should be done
>> unless it's an accident circumstance.

1638
02:26:27,840 --> 02:26:33,200
And in that case, right,
>> right?

1639
02:26:31,600 --> 02:26:37,319
» If I'm working a three-month old murder
case, it's not

1640
02:26:37,439 --> 02:26:45,840
if it's abduction right now, an
emergency. Yes. But we document that. We

1641
02:26:43,280 --> 02:26:50,160
document why there's a request. Why did
you do that? We have some reasons. We

1642
02:26:47,920 --> 02:26:54,000
don't want people misusing the system.
Track your exife, your girlfriend, your

1643
02:26:52,160 --> 02:27:00,560
neighbor you don't like. Those are
things prevent. There's too much easy

1644
02:26:56,640 --> 02:27:04,240
access to it. And we've got
that's all we're asking for at the

1645
02:27:01,920 --> 02:27:08,000
legislative level. A lot of agencies are
already doing that. We do that. We we

1646
02:27:06,160 --> 02:27:12,080
have an audit system that goes into
place. checks and balances. But

1647
02:27:09,680 --> 02:27:17,600
unfortunately, [snorts]
>> and what we've now learned, and this is

1648
02:27:14,800 --> 02:27:21,840
public record, these are things that are
I mean, the companies, whether it be

1649
02:27:19,840 --> 02:27:26,800
Meta, which is Facebook, or some of
these other companies, they they have an

1650
02:27:24,319 --> 02:27:33,840
obligation to their shareholders
to maximize revenue.

1651
02:27:29,520 --> 02:27:39,439
Um they are not here to help on these
issues

1652
02:27:35,600 --> 02:27:44,800
because the most important and expensive
commodity today is people's data and

1653
02:27:43,120 --> 02:27:50,800
it's you can make a lot of money from
it. And so we can't simply just put our

1654
02:27:48,399 --> 02:27:58,319
hands up and say we'll let the free
market reign on some of these things.

1655
02:27:56,319 --> 02:28:02,640
» Okay. Thank you. [clears throat]
>> All right. Madam Chair, I'd like the

1656
02:28:00,560 --> 02:28:06,479

Comments.

1665
02:28:38,560 --> 02:28:44,080
» You want to go first?
>> Oh, I don't have anything. I just I

1666
02:28:42,399 --> 02:28:47,040
wanted to
say that again. What was the date?

1667
02:28:46,080 --> 02:28:50,319
» Thursday.
>> Thursday and September.

1668
02:28:48,880 --> 02:28:53,120
» Thursday instead of Tuesday. On
September the 10th.

1669
02:28:51,120 --> 02:28:57,280
» On the agenda, it's misprinted as a
Tuesday.

1670
02:28:54,399 --> 02:29:00,280
» September 10th is actually a Thursday.
Okay.

1671
02:29:00,319 --> 02:29:04,720
» Okay. Ready?
>> Okay. Good.

1672
02:29:04,319 --> 02:29:07,600
» All right.
>> Now, I was confused on that because I

1673
02:29:06,399 --> 02:29:10,720
had mentioned to you I didn't think I
was going to make it in time, but that's

1674
02:29:09,359 --> 02:29:14,160
perfect. Thank you.
>> All right.

1675
02:29:12,399 --> 02:29:17,760
Commissioner's comment.
>> Yeah. Um, I just uh thank everyone for

1676
02:29:16,080 --> 02:29:22,800
being here today and thank you so much
board for the uh confidence and uh the

1677
02:29:20,399 --> 02:29:28,479
support on 150 for the Bradford Sports
United. Um, I really do appreciate it

1678
02:29:26,000 --> 02:29:31,359
and the kids definitely appreciate it.
Thank you.

1679
02:29:29,120 --> 02:29:35,680
» Thank you, Mr.
>> And I would like to thank every

1680
02:29:32,800 --> 02:29:41,920
everybody for being here um today
because there's a lot discussed and um a

1681
02:29:38,640 --> 02:29:48,399
lot done, a lot of learning going on.
And um but I will Miss Pinter I too just

1682
02:29:45,840 --> 02:29:54,800
want to say that I'm very sorry about
the roads. Um I'm sorry that it came

1683
02:29:51,280 --> 02:30:00,000
about the way it did. Um, I'm sorry the
outcome was the way it was and it was

1684
02:29:58,240 --> 02:30:06,399
something that I believe that Miss
Strong said is that we have to be

1685
02:30:03,920 --> 02:30:12,160
careful in everything that we do and all
of our projects. We must include

1686
02:30:10,640 --> 02:30:16,319
everyone.
We are here to serve the county, not

1687
02:30:14,560 --> 02:30:24,080
just our district, the whole entire
county. And sometimes it may be in an

1688
02:30:19,680 --> 02:30:29,359
undesirable place. it may be in a um a
very poor neighborhood instead of an

1689
02:30:27,200 --> 02:30:36,000
upper class neighborhood or however you
would want to classify that. So we have

1690
02:30:31,680 --> 02:30:40,880
to be very careful with that in um in
making those decisions about what roads

1691
02:30:38,240 --> 02:30:47,439
go on the list and what roads get gets
done and and um I was discussing some

1692
02:30:44,720 --> 02:30:54,240
projects with Mr. Cornnegay yesterday
and um because of that I'm just I'm

1693
02:30:50,240 --> 02:31:01,040
going to request um some information and
um Jason and Mr. Cornne is the one that

1694
02:30:57,920 --> 02:31:07,040
I think he had some people draw up the
the work schedules that you guys do like

1695
02:31:04,160 --> 02:31:10,040
who's doing what and where on such a
day.

1696
02:31:13,680 --> 02:31:22,640
» Okay. Um, and I I wanted to look over
some information just to kind of refresh

1697
02:31:19,120 --> 02:31:29,520
myself. And so I just and if you'll just
mention the dates, um, is the year uh,

1698
02:31:25,840 --> 02:31:33,600
2024. If I can get those for that year,
and it may take a little while, but if

1699
02:31:31,439 --> 02:31:37,680
you would get Miss Doy to pull them up
for me, I'd appreciate it so that he and

1700
02:31:35,920 --> 02:31:43,359
I can sit down and talk about some
projects. So, um, but like I said, I

1701
02:31:42,000 --> 02:31:48,960
think that we need to be very
transparent. I think that we need to

1702
02:31:46,160 --> 02:31:56,080
ensure that, um, that we're in form on
on things that are happening and, um,

1703
02:31:53,359 --> 02:32:00,960
things that
really make a difference in our county.

1704
02:31:58,479 --> 02:32:06,640
So, um, we have to make sure that that
that's [clears throat] happening and

1705
02:32:02,399 --> 02:32:13,600
keep them informed. And um
and with that, I just will ask um

1706
02:32:10,720 --> 02:32:20,479
Kenny's brother is very very ill, my
cousin, and I just ask that y'all pray

1707
02:32:17,040 --> 02:32:27,439
for um him and his family, all the all
of our family. Um because

1708
02:32:24,160 --> 02:32:31,600
he's a very dear man. So, and with that,
Miss Gruner, I'll turn it over to you.

1709
02:32:29,120 --> 02:32:37,760
» Okay. Um you all know me and know me
well. You know my heart. I thank each of

1710
02:32:34,399 --> 02:32:42,399
you for being here today. Um, as our
meeting is taking place, I'm happy to

1711
02:32:39,840 --> 02:32:46,960
say that the PACE staff is over at the
RJ introducing themselves to the staff

1712
02:32:45,120 --> 02:32:52,800
there. So, we're happy to have them to
come to Bradford County to provide

1713
02:32:48,960 --> 02:32:56,960
services to um teenage girls who need
that assistance. And also just uh also

1714
02:32:55,359 --> 02:33:01,280
the reminder that the Florida
Association of Counties um innovation

1715
02:32:58,960 --> 02:33:05,120
and policy board meeting will be taking
place in Jacksonville the week of

1716
02:33:02,880 --> 02:33:11,520
September 15th uh through the 18th and
that's why we had to shift our our

1717
02:33:07,120 --> 02:33:18,960
meeting. Um and also just uh to share
was with me and Mr. Carneg and u Miss

1718
02:33:15,040 --> 02:33:24,160
Durk and the gentleman from the um from
the Keystone airport. the governor

1719
02:33:22,000 --> 02:33:30,960
presented $75,000
uh check to the county for the strategic

1720
02:33:26,560 --> 02:33:37,120
planning. Uh that was last Thursday. Um
the um

1721
02:33:35,200 --> 02:33:40,560
the Florida Department of Transportation
representative was there and and

1722
02:33:38,720 --> 02:33:48,319
sheriff, I did ask him if he could look
at the elevation issues and the speed on

1723
02:33:44,080 --> 02:33:54,560
the bypass areas of 301 um area where we
have so many accidents between 227

1724
02:33:51,760 --> 02:34:01,120
and the 301 corridor. So he said that he
would uh look into that. Um and again

1725
02:33:57,840 --> 02:34:04,880
and I did address earlier with M um Mr.
Dog, they're doing the very best that

1726
02:34:02,800 --> 02:34:10,720
they can with the roadside with the
limited number of staff that they have,

1727
02:34:06,880 --> 02:34:18,080
but we have a lot of overgrowth uh which
um creates a safety when you can't get

1728
02:34:15,120 --> 02:34:26,080
down your roadways or the sidewalks. And
so any help that we can suggest to them

1729
02:34:21,760 --> 02:34:30,479
uh through the inmate services um um or
any extra help that we can get them to

1730
02:34:28,160 --> 02:34:35,200
mow. I don't know if it's possible to
have some temporary help during the what

1731
02:34:32,880 --> 02:34:40,000
I call the rainy season where one week
you you cut your grass and the next week

1732
02:34:37,120 --> 02:34:45,359
it's back up. Um so all that we can do
and again I wanted to thank um Mr.

1733
02:34:42,399 --> 02:34:52,080
Strong for helping out in Lai on 225
area. Um

1734
02:34:48,080 --> 02:34:57,520
and um the again I want to emphasize the
importance that we maintain our um the

1735
02:34:55,439 --> 02:35:03,680
safe uh the safety of the children who
are utilizing our parks by making sure

1736
02:34:59,920 --> 02:35:08,800
that the equipment there um is kept up
to date and maintained. So specifically

1737
02:35:06,479 --> 02:35:14,319
as I mentioned earlier the Lincoln City
needs some lights and also just

1738
02:35:11,439 --> 02:35:20,399
equipment wise just replacement of their
volleyball net. Um but lighting for for

1739
02:35:17,840 --> 02:35:27,600
safety and then in Pleasant Grove is
just the um the equipment there um the

1740
02:35:25,040 --> 02:35:33,040
merrygoround and the the apparatus and
then it needs pressure washing um so

1741
02:35:30,800 --> 02:35:39,439
that it's a a clean service that they
use. Um again, I thank each and every
