[1:15] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>up with a summary.

[1:18] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>So stepping into the organizational chart, something

[1:22] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>that the mayor and commissioners may notice since

[1:25] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>beginning as director in 2024.

[1:28] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>for the first time in 2 years, we actually have a fully

[1:31] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>stocked management team. So excited about that. In the

[1:36] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>prior years. You've always seen a box marked vacant. So today

[1:40] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>it is my esteem pleasure to introduce our stellar

[1:43] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>management team starting with or 2 incredible deputy

[1:47] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>directors. We have Deputy Director Screven if you could

[1:51] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>give away. So the public knows who you are.

[1:55] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Deputy Director Jason Reynolds.

[2:04] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>for planning a planning. We have a part of our growth

[2:09] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>for the zoning. We have Janet from a role

[2:12] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>this cooperation support. We have Franklin Center U.S.

[2:16] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>for building safety. We have Alan Kind who, unfortunately is

[2:20] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>not here. He's a personal matter that he's dealing with

[2:23] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>with the passing of family members. So he's in the

[2:26] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>morning, but unfortunately is done here. But I know he's

[2:28] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>watching online, but Christine R and or assistant manager is

[2:32] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>here to represent,

[2:33] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>we have our housing community development manager mentioned

[2:36] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>last or and then lastly, our newest addition to the

[2:39] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>management to you, we have a misbranded rigors is joining us

[2:44] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>as a manager for neighborhood services. It's been such a

[2:48] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>pleasure, great delight to be able to lead this very capable

[2:52] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>and dedicated team. You know this and last year's budget,

[2:55] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>we had a total of 600. So we've slightly reduce the number

[2:59] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>moving forward for fiscal year 27. So you'll see a reduced

[3:03] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>number and we'll talk a little bit more about that. Why that's

[3:05] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>going on. A total of 591 is what we have for fiscal year.

[3:11] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>27. I'm very dedicated committee and I will say very

[3:15] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>passionate team of all the work that we do for Orange County.

[3:20] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>It's only appropriate to start with our mission statement.

[3:24] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>I call this or guiding polls our commitment to the

[3:27] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>community. So folks know who we are, what our brand is and what

[3:30] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>we stand for.

[3:32] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>So mission statement introduced to a strategic management plan

[3:35] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>reads Planning and environment and development Services

[3:38] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Department heads. We exist to serve of the public and then

[3:42] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>hands the Orange County, Florida community by offering

[3:46] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>sustainable growth, protecting the environment, improve the

[3:49] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>quality of life for current and future generations. That is our

[3:53] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>contract to the public, our commitment that the things that

[3:57] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>we do in the commitment that we make to service, certainly

[4:00] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Stern Ridge to plenty of life for Orange County and our

[4:04] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>focus. And our main client is certainly the public. We're

[4:07] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>citizens the residence.

[4:10] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>So stepping into the fiscal year, 27 budget, total

[4:14] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>operating budget of 256.1 million. And then I walk you

[4:19] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>through a counter clockwise. The 5 components that make up

[4:23] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>that budget starting out with the general fund. That's 21% of

[4:27] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>our budget. A total of 54.2 million that we have building

[4:32] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>safety fund. That's 13% of our budget. 34.1 million. And we

[4:37] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>know that's an enterprise fund under the draft section and

[4:41] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>this is maybe where we have Iran or entitlement funds for

[4:44] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>siplin section 8 cdbg. That's a total of 23% of our budget.

[4:49] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>At 59.1 million and then we have the housing trust fund.

[4:53] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>That's 34% of our budget. Total of 86.5 million. And then

[4:58] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>lastly, we have the other category. That's 9% of the

[5:01] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>budget. 22.2 million.

[5:04] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>What you'll notice. Mayor and commissioners, if you do.

[5:07] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>The quick math is looking at the grounds. One of the holes

[5:10] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>in Trump's fun.

[5:12] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>That's more than half of our budget. 57 1% of the pens

[5:16] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>budget to pass through funds.

[5:18] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>So Penn certainly serves as a conduit for these resources

[5:24] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>that pass through our department that don't stay like

[5:27] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>some of our other internal departments. Much of what we do

[5:30] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>is make impact in committee to development and in affordable

[5:33] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>housing and environmental protection. And we take that

[5:37] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>role very secretly knowing that it's the pump, prince of kids

[5:41] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>of the laws for the enrichment of our small businesses said

[5:45] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>and security and housing and safety for our residents.

[5:49] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>So you'll see a lot of business happening online and

[5:52] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>communication happening just to make sure that the public is

[5:56] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>aware of these funds that are made available through pets.

[6:01] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Looking at the out of line, some comparing the changes

[6:04] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>between fiscal year 26 and just get your 27. We've had a

[6:08] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>reduction in our overall budget. So we're going don't

[6:12] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>buy 1.4%. That's a total of 2.7 million. I also mentioned that

[6:18] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>we've reduced in staffing for fiscal year, 27 sitters,

[6:22] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>a reduction on the building safety sytem. We'll talk a

[6:25] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>little bit about that in the next slide. So that's a net

[6:29] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>change of 9 positions there.

[6:33] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Looking at the stuffing within heads. One of the challenges

[6:37] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>that I face coming on board back in 2024, was a very high

[6:40] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>vacancy rate. We had a vacancy rate by then, but 12% so

[6:45] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>certainly understood the challenge before those making

[6:48] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>sure that we have bodies in the positions and the work could be

[6:51] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>done. So I'm so excited by the partnership that we forged to

[6:55] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>with human resources to get those vacancy numbers reduce

[7:00] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>today. We actually have a vacancy, a 51% shines. And

[7:04] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>that's it 0.5%. And so we've gone down by about 4% in our

[7:09] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>vacancy rate in quickly moving to fill those positions.

[7:13] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>The biggest reductions that we've seen thankfully has been

[7:17] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>in housing and neighborhood services with the efforts that

[7:19] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>we've made for fiscal year 27. We do have one new position

[7:23] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>that's being proposed. That's a grant funded positions that out

[7:27] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>for the 15, the general fund that's coming from the ship

[7:30] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>funds or state funds for a new administrative specialist

[7:33] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>position to support that unit

[7:36] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>in the building safety division. We are anticipating a

[7:39] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>reduction of 10 positions there

[7:43] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>really scaling back that air of our operation, recognizing with

[7:46] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Epic a major

[7:49] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>partner that we have there and bring that project forward.

[7:52] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>We had to expand to be able to meet the needs and know that

[7:54] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>that's been successfully completed and open. We're ve

[7:57] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>scaling to make sure that we're adjusting our numbers. Sales

[8:01] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>here, reduction there and building safety.

[8:04] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>The president may be asked, what are you doing? How are you

[8:06] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>getting these vacancy rates to levels that you're now seeing

[8:10] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>successfully very strategic approach? We've done a lot more

[8:14] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>work on the social media site. Thankfully for the iOS that

[8:19] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>were key. This is to make sure when positions are being made

[8:22] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>available. Those are being posted online. And there's a

[8:24] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>lot of traction that you'll see only 10 indeed and other

[8:28] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>platforms to make sure that the public knows that these

[8:30] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>positions are available.

[8:33] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Training is a big thing with unpaid. So we have our new live

[8:35] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>program that started this year. So leadership in training,

[8:40] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>many requests from the staff, you know, for emerging leaders

[8:43] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>that have indicated through our servies and are looking for

[8:46] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>opportunities to prepare themselves to be the next

[8:49] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>generation of leaders across Orange County. And we took that

[8:52] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>to heart, went to work and put together a training program for

[8:57] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>emerging leaders excited across 5 months that we work very

[9:00] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>closely with or leadership court within pays to provide

[9:04] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>training for that cool. So not just focusing on the attraction

[9:07] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>of staff and talent book, focusing mainly on the

[9:10] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>retention and making sure that there's a legacy there for the

[9:13] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>next generation of leaders. Accordingly, management

[9:15] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>training is a staple within pads. Every quarter. We have

[9:19] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>professional training for our management team. So that's been

[9:23] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>going very successfully over the last 2 years. We have an

[9:27] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>internship program that I think is quite a great model for

[9:30] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>agency. It's built within or Environmental Protection

[9:34] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Division where we have a volunteer internship program.

[9:38] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>We find the brightest and best from area schools with it to

[9:41] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>ensure we're looking at folks from UCF from. We bring them in

[9:45] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>as trainees to learn the industry within heads and with

[9:49] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>the hope that we would be able to retain these individuals

[9:52] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>over time. It's been going on for more than a decade. And

[9:56] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>we've seen some of those students matriculate into

[9:59] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>permanent positions within pet. So that's been a success for

[10:02] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>us. And having that internship program built within a

[10:05] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>certification program is something that we started this

[10:07] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>year again as a request from our staff asking Lee Upskill

[10:12] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>beyond just having degrees. What can we do to of 10 that

[10:16] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>are professional development and grew in her coffin? Our

[10:18] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>trainings. So we'd out of the car before. And then we said,

[10:21] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>OK, we create these incentives for you to be certified and to

[10:26] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>be of skilled and train them to return would be that you would

[10:29] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>see increases in

[10:31] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>the salary most that are given. So there is a a relationship,

[10:36] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>you know, an inverted relationship there that as you

[10:39] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>increase in your certification and you'll get an opportunity

[10:43] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>to be able to move forward in the agency. And then last

[10:45] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Reclassifications, you know, we looked at some of the positions

[10:49] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>that were static, some that were dormant and in many of

[10:52] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>those cases realize that some of those positions needed to be

[10:55] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>reclassified of people are looking to stay with the

[10:57] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>organization. There shouldn't be a cap there that hinders

[11:01] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>them from being able to move up over time, especially if

[11:04] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>they're increasing in certifications, skills and

[11:07] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>degrees. That's been very successful. So both on both

[11:10] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>sides between retention and recruitment, we're seeing

[11:14] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>responses there. We hope that by next year's budget you'll

[11:17] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>see at even greater reduction that they consider a throat

[11:20] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>pets.

[11:22] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Looking at the budget highlights I'm excited to

[11:26] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>share. We launched our strategic management plan last

[11:30] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>year and with heads being a front facing customer service

[11:34] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>focused apartment. It's not just focusing on the dollars

[11:37] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>but understanding the why behind hold the money moves on

[11:40] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>what we prioritize. We don't like this as a blueprint.

[11:44] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>I mentioned the mission statement before when you open

[11:46] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>it is the first thing that you see. So the public understands

[11:49] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>the brand that we carry as a department and understand the

[11:53] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>priorities that we've outlined for the entire team. So we

[11:56] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>consider does our blueprint, our guide that helps in the

[11:59] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>decision-making. It's a statement of our purpose.

[12:02] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>It's or why that drives our fiscal priorities. We spend the

[12:06] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>money. There's a reason it shouldn't just be haphazard or

[12:09] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>arbitrary. It's helped us, though, to help to reduce the

[12:12] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>silos across the 7 divisions. Oftentimes with then you run

[12:17] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>the risk of several parts being separate and moving in

[12:20] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>different divisions on different directions. But we've

[12:22] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>fallen through the strategic management plan. It's helpless

[12:25] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>to reduce those silos and really unified department

[12:29] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>across the 7 divisions. So line in the strategic management

[12:33] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>plan. Happy this year.

[12:35] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>5 focus areas for us at that apartment talent acquisition

[12:38] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>and management, making sure that we're hiring the by just

[12:41] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>brightest and best. And we're keeping them here within Orange

[12:44] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>County, looking at process improvements that are there

[12:47] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>ways that we could improve the things that we do with working

[12:50] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>with greater efficiency and timeliness. Many of the

[12:52] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>businesses had said time is money. When you take too long,

[12:55] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>we waste money. We want to make sure that where reexamining

[12:59] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>some of the processes internally and making sure that

[13:01] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>we're dealing in a fission's is to be able to deliver top

[13:05] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>service to the public. Innovation and technology to is

[13:09] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>a great focus for us within pads, always looking for new

[13:12] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>applications and will go to conferences. We focus on

[13:15] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>finding new innovative ways whether it's I are other things

[13:19] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>to be able to deliver our services to the public

[13:22] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>communication is another priority for us, making sure

[13:25] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>that we have piles and those that are first in that air of

[13:29] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>delivering timely, transparent and easily accessible

[13:33] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>communication to the public. And then the last house,

[13:36] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>a relationship building is one of the most important ones for

[13:38] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>us for jingles, right, collaboration, Ys with the

[13:42] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>mayor and commissioners understanding the need so that

[13:44] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>we can be your eyes and ears, hands and feet and delivering

[13:48] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>the directives and delivering the priorities of this board

[13:51] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>and also forging those relationships, the right

[13:54] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>relationships with our partners in the community, whether it's

[13:57] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>locally or at the state level or would say not to federal

[14:00] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>level in areas where managing entitlement dollars need to

[14:03] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>make sure that we have the right connections there.

[14:08] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Another highlight that we're so excited about this is Archie a

[14:12] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>campaign. So the OC Love Stream Campaign was launched this year

[14:17] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>will continue on and he's got your 27 so move forward with

[14:21] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>the idea of reforest ing and helping to increase the kind of

[14:24] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>guy across Orange County. So we're proposing are our

[14:28] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>urban forestry Mad Master plan. That's a 25 year kind of your

[14:32] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>road map. It will show the areas of can says the areas

[14:35] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>where we have greater heat or exposure to the public in those

[14:40] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>low income communities that don't have enough tree

[14:43] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>coverage. We want to be intentional about my field

[14:46] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>where those vulnerable areas are making sure we're spending

[14:49] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>the dollars and intentional ways within those vulnerable is

[14:54] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>allows us to expand the tree, planting opportunities to not

[14:58] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>just planning for it, but on the green infrastructure side,

[15:01] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>sometimes eyes local governments. We focus on the

[15:04] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>great infrastructure. You know, we focus on the water lines and

[15:07] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>we focus on the streets, but so important to make sure that

[15:10] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>we're planning intentionally for the green infrastructure.

[15:13] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>We consider this cool that we're looking to meet every

[15:17] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>year, accounting at least 500 trees within those designated

[15:20] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>areas. The benefits, of course, improving shade, creating

[15:24] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>cooling our temperatures, keep rising with global warming and

[15:28] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>things that are happening, improving the air quality

[15:31] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>throughout our community and of course, creating a Habitat for

[15:35] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Wildlife that's here in Orange County,

[15:39] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>the Business Resource Office. Another exciting highlight that

[15:42] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>we wanted to share what we did. Our surveys surrounding the

[15:46] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>strategic management plan, something that came out very

[15:48] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>strongly was the business community saying it's too

[15:51] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>difficult to navigate. The services of Orange County were

[15:54] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>sent to procurement was sent to the business of all. I was sent

[15:57] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>economic development, different permitting. It becomes a

[16:00] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>labyrinth that we get titled In. Can We have a one-stop

[16:03] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>shop? So we heard he responded by creating this business

[16:07] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>resource office. One of my deputies often said when folks

[16:11] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>come in for permit inspections, they should leave with

[16:13] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>resources. So the one stop shop lows for us to build that

[16:17] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>relationship with the small Business Committee. We

[16:20] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>considered hub for you to find the services of Orange County

[16:24] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>where the bulls in together all the different facets of small

[16:28] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>business support, throw the Cones east through this front

[16:31] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>facing physical office. But we also have a digital presence

[16:35] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>online if businesses come in and they want to be able to

[16:38] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>find out how to do business in Orange County. So it allows us

[16:42] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>to promote or county programs. We also take the programming to

[16:47] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>the streets to the boot camp. So not just having the

[16:49] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>businesses come here,

[16:51] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>but we've partnered with some of the commissioners we

[16:54] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>partnered with local agencies like the NEC to be able to

[16:57] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>bring that messaging of one Orange County offers to the

[17:01] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>public. So we're rolling out who's comes between the summer

[17:03] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>and the fall. This is a business robot for navigating

[17:07] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>cone to services resources to help scale and grow your

[17:11] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>business. So many of you will see a lot of chatter happening

[17:15] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>online with those boot camps being rolled out. And we've had

[17:18] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>several already in the Pine Hills area. We've had some in

[17:22] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>district 4. So we continue to partner with this body to make

[17:26] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>sure that the messaging is all here that Orange County is open

[17:30] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>for business.

[17:32] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Affordable housing is another exciting area that we've seen

[17:36] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>much success in over the last several years. So our housing

[17:41] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>trust fund that's budgeted at 86.5 million in terms of the

[17:46] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>protected units generated 2,300 new units. That's 542 that have

[17:52] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>already been completed. 1261 that are under way,

[17:57] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>500 that are planned for fiscal year. 27 focusing on the rehab

[18:02] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>and preservation side. An additional tour is a 50 unit

[18:06] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>generated

[18:07] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>through the revolving loan fund. And this is a new

[18:10] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>initiative that our team has created that I think is quite

[18:14] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>successful for those smaller not-for-profit hosing

[18:17] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>developers that there's a low interest rate fun were able to

[18:20] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>partner with the lending institution. They want to

[18:23] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>provide some time, save money or just got fired and sing for

[18:27] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>new affordable housing developments. And then lastly

[18:30] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>wanted to also highlight the benefit of having impact fee

[18:34] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>waivers as being part of moving that needle for affordable

[18:38] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>housing. So the impact of 11.5 million under that category,

[18:43] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>I would dare say, looking throughout the entire state or

[18:46] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>the country, it would be hard to find an example of an agency

[18:51] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>that's been so committed in supporting affordable housing.

[18:54] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>And it's been quite a success for us to be able to move from

[18:58] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>not just the grown breaking, but no, we're actually having

[19:01] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>ribbon cuttings, so excited to see that happening. So I

[19:04] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>applaud our Housing Committee development team and to lessen

[19:07] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>the team for the stellar work that's been done and affordable

[19:10] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>housing front,

[19:13] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>even though the cdbg Dr Funds are not built within our

[19:16] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>general fund. I want to highlight because it's such a

[19:18] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>significant source of funding for our community. We've been

[19:22] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>able to leverage those federal funds for resilience and

[19:25] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>mitigation efforts hurricane and how the border recall that

[19:29] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>we received 219 million from the federal government and then

[19:33] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>an additional 33 million in Milton funds to date. Just as

[19:38] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>an update for the public, we've been able to secure over 400

[19:43] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>applications for the end. And that's over 50 for Milton

[19:48] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>in terms of folks are cresting dollars for hurricane

[19:51] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>mitigation or repair of their properties from that is that we

[19:55] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>have approximately 85 projects that are currently under

[19:58] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>construction.

[20:01] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>And again, just to share some highlights from hold. Those

[20:04] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>funds are going to be utilized. So we have the body broke flood

[20:08] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>mitigation, infrastructure projects as a new pump station

[20:12] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>to she's drainage capacity. The public works Department is

[20:15] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>going to be spearheading that that the coalition for the

[20:17] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>homeless, the not for profit, that some of the public

[20:20] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>facilities category that allows for expansion of shelter

[20:23] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>capacity to restore bridge housing. Then we have the road

[20:28] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>for Parkway, drainage improvement initiative and that

[20:31] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>stuff, great culverts to improve stormwater flow

[20:34] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>to live in a drainage bottlenecks and then state of

[20:37] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Hope. Lee Gardens that to housing rehab project to

[20:40] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>restore affordable housing for veterans and low-income

[20:44] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>residents

[20:47] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>in the area of innovation. Like I mentioned before,

[20:50] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>it is one of our top 5 priorities within pens that

[20:54] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>allows us to be able to enhance service delivery, highlight the

[20:59] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>building safety division in particular. Unbelievable what

[21:03] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>these are real numbers we receive over 2000 phone calls

[21:07] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>each week,

[21:09] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>very high number of calls coming in. The call. Volume has

[21:12] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>been excess of over the years. The response has been to hire

[21:16] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>staff to be able to meet the needs of that growing demand.

[21:20] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>But we recognize that through that announcement of AI

[21:23] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>technology, there was an ability to be able to integrate

[21:27] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>AI systems with our phone system to provide automated

[21:31] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>services, not just audited services, but in over 40

[21:35] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>languages. 24 hours a day, we've been able to train the

[21:39] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>bot to a partnership that we've forged to with AI company that

[21:43] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>the Bucs able to know provide inspection information on

[21:46] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>information from

[21:48] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>colds, information about services or the status of

[21:52] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>someone's permit. We've seen a drop in those calls as a result

[21:55] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>of being able to utilize that AI technology and augment that

[21:59] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>with or customer service efforts, success there that

[22:03] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>we've seen of the last 3 months will continue to push forward

[22:06] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>with the training of that bought to make sure that we're

[22:08] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>able to scale and grow as demand increases for customer

[22:13] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>service assistance, rebuilding safety, engage orange to has

[22:17] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>been highly successful pod for for us. It's interactive.

[22:21] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>It's not just a static Web site. Know we've created a

[22:23] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>space where the public contract, both the programs and

[22:27] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>projects that are being pushed and funnel through pets.

[22:31] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>White's interactive is you can leave questions. You can leave

[22:34] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>comments you can interact with Steph through that space and

[22:38] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>how timely information and updates. That's something that

[22:41] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>we heard a lot in the surveys as well where the public says

[22:44] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>we're not hearing enough from kids in terms of the resources

[22:47] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>that you have to offer. We're not understanding some of the

[22:50] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>programs of the projects that you have. So we heard our

[22:54] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>response was to creates that interactive online platform and

[22:58] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>that's been it's successful. We continue to look for the

[23:01] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>partnership of the mayor and commissioners and pushing that

[23:03] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>information out to the constituents. So they know that

[23:06] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>resource is available on the automation side as well.

[23:10] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Looking for greater process improvement and access are

[23:14] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>working through the assist him with our code compliance team

[23:18] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>to provide that timely information for a court

[23:20] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>officers as they're in the field, are now able to access

[23:23] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>permitting information, are able to connect with the home

[23:26] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>base and get real-time information as they're out

[23:29] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>there. So that's under construction and should be

[23:31] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>coming to a neighborhood near you as of this fall on the DRC

[23:36] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>side to hearing a lot of comments there about the need

[23:39] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>for process improvement and more time, the coordination

[23:42] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>between the left and the right hand. So there's LV a mess

[23:45] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>improvements that are being made to our Dear C team as well

[23:49] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>and very happy for the willingness of the staff to

[23:53] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>step up and be challenged to integrate that technological

[23:56] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>advancement with the work that week.

[24:00] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>So this is for me, the slide that I called the celebrations

[24:05] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>slide. This is where you're able to shake your morale

[24:09] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>for the Green plays program. This board back in 2022.

[24:13] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Allocated over 100 million dollars towards the

[24:17] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>conservation and protection of sensitive lines. To date over

[24:21] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>81 million has been expended. That's 54 parcels preserved in

[24:25] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Orange County over 3,000, 400 acres of sensitive lined being

[24:31] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>protected to this program. We have 18 million that's

[24:35] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>pending acquisition. And I believe this past Tuesday,

[24:39] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>we had one parcel that was approved by this board to move

[24:43] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>forward for acquisitions. So when all of this is

[24:46] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>completed, we would have extended every single dollar in

[24:50] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>the green phase program. I think that is worthy of

[24:53] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>celebrating. I'm really happy for the commitment of the team

[24:58] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>and how they've been able to push forward with this

[25:00] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>initiative over 4,000 acres. At the end of the last dollar

[25:05] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>being spent would have been protected in Orange County is

[25:09] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>something that I think is a bragging right for orange,

[25:11] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Tony, and something that I applaud this board for for

[25:14] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>having the foresight to see the need to invest these dollars in

[25:18] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>the Green plays program.

[25:22] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>So moving on also or capital improvement program,

[25:28] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>much of what you'll see in the capital improvement side.

[25:31] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>A total of 13 million hot and dedicated for capital

[25:34] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>improvement are projected for this that you're 27. Much of

[25:39] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>what you'll see is mainly in the ear of water. Quality

[25:43] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>improvement probably over 80% of the budget in this section

[25:48] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>is on the water quality improvement. And then a small

[25:51] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>portion for I tried series signage upgrade.

[25:57] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>So looking at fiscal year, 27 under the Capital Improvement

[26:01] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>program, we have 5.8 million for the little Wekiva storm

[26:07] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>treatment area and that's in district 2. This includes our

[26:10] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>treatment train consisting of a pump station and live as part

[26:14] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>of the rivers flow into sedimentation Basin.

[26:17] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>The project is expected to remove nitrates and phosphates

[26:21] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>which are pollutants of concern over Kyra Springs on Rock

[26:24] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Springs Run Basin Management action plans.

[26:28] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>We also have 4.7 million for water sciences, design and

[26:32] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>construction. There's a total of 10 projects that will be

[26:35] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>highlighting later in the presentation

[26:38] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>that we have 2.3 million for a conservation trust fund,

[26:42] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>the land management activities. This includes land management

[26:45] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>to this such as mowing prescribed burns, invasive

[26:48] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>vegetation and remove all.

[26:52] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Then we have 750,000 for Green Bay's property enhancements we

[26:57] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>mentioned before about those acquisitions. So we have money

[27:00] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>budgeted for enhancements of those properties that have

[27:02] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>already been acquired and protected. This includes 2

[27:05] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>projects for trailheads along for pedestrian bridge. And then

[27:10] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>last them mentioned about the i-drive illumination signage.

[27:13] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>This is needed for easement related cause for 31 signs.

[27:17] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>And this includes recording fees title search reports,

[27:21] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>legal descriptions and sketches.

[27:25] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>So stepping into each of the projects that to give a little

[27:29] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>bit more detail on that. That 5.8 million for little a

[27:32] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Kailua. Just a trim and should be for this is cash flowed from

[27:36] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>the prior year. Total of 3.5 million total project cost.

[27:40] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>There is 10.8 million. And again, it's for water, quality

[27:44] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>improvement and Wekiva Springs in Rock Springs.

[27:48] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>So sharing know under the water signs category,

[27:52] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>mentioned before that there's been quite a and this is

[27:56] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>through the capital improvement program on water improvements,

[28:00] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>nitrate reduction as Fossett reduction. So we have a total

[28:03] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>of 10 projects you'll see listed there. The first 3

[28:07] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>include newly funded and pending projects that are

[28:10] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>already underway.

[28:12] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>That will be moving forward for completion in fiscal year 27.

[28:16] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>And then the remaining 7 projects include approve

[28:19] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>projects that are Castro from prior years.

[28:27] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Stepping in now to our roots and feet updates. This is one

[28:34] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>of the requests that we receive from leadership in looking at

[28:37] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>the fees throw heads. The first one is the building safety

[28:42] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>division fees. This is really to meet a state requirement to

[28:45] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>make sure that we're maintaining a healthy fund

[28:48] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>balance. Now it's time to require and there which

[28:52] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>certainly influenced us in making sure that we are

[28:56] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>readjusting the fees to fiscal year 2022 levels. So you'll see

[29:01] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>fee adjustments in residential permitting commercial, also an

[29:06] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>electrical. And then you'll also see fee adjustments there

[29:10] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>in re inspection fees. And again, these are fees that we

[29:15] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>had and we're reverting back to from fiscal year 2022. to make

[29:19] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>sure that we're maintaining the fund balance to this one.

[29:22] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>It's influenced by first at a dairy requirements

[29:27] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>sharing also updates that are being proposed to the zoning

[29:31] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>fees in critical facts on this one is that the fees have been

[29:36] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>adjusted since

[29:38] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>2014. So quite antiquated and outdated in terms of the fees

[29:43] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>that we have there for the first for fees. These are

[29:48] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>existing fees that are being recommended for increase.

[29:52] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>You'll see this on the special exception fees owning stresses

[29:55] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>some communication tower fee. The bza we advertise in feet so

[30:00] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Uber and see how those are existing fees that are being

[30:02] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>proposed for increase

[30:05] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>and then the remaining 4, these are new fees that are being

[30:09] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>introduced. And again, the intent here is for cost

[30:13] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>recovery the time that it takes to review the fees, what's

[30:16] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>required in terms of recouping those costs is what we're

[30:20] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>introducing here for a fee updates.

[30:25] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>And then lastly, in terms of field days, also introducing

[30:30] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>the fees from APD. You see that the first 60's terms of the

[30:35] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Lake Shore Protection permit, both talk construction permit

[30:39] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>chile, alteration hardening shoreline, alteration dredging,

[30:43] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>but Rahm permit private boat ramp permits semi private.

[30:48] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Those are existing fees that are being recommended for

[30:51] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>increase. And then we have new fees under the minor

[30:54] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>modification. The boat construction setback waiver but

[30:59] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>not construction setback waiver. First one is I mean,

[31:02] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>it's traded second. One is public hearing this, too,

[31:05] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>is a few that hasn't been updated these fees since 2014.

[31:10] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>I'm quite outdated, not in lockstep with what the

[31:13] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>industry, the requirements are for these types of reviews,

[31:18] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>some of these things. Unfortunately, our reviews that

[31:20] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>were being done pro bono without costs, recovery being

[31:24] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>built in the proposal that we're introducing for this one

[31:27] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>in particular, the Epd is a 50% introduction of the new fees.

[31:33] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>And then the remaining 50% would be introduced in fiscal

[31:36] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>year. 28. So this one is a 50% recommendation on those DPD

[31:41] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>fees.

[31:46] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>So for the slide, I will

[31:48] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>or the mayor and commission in reading it again, because I

[31:50] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>think every department has already introduced the

[31:55] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>narrative as to why we're going to be talking about the

[31:57] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>potential risk with the threat of the property tax reduction

[32:02] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>and what it could mean to art pads services. I mentioned

[32:05] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>before with intent and the first slide to that heads is a

[32:10] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>conduit that carries the funds that are possible funds from

[32:14] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>either the federal government, the state or local sources.

[32:18] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>And we finally got back to the public for public services.

[32:22] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>That was the intent. Because here on this slide, you can

[32:26] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>feel the magnitude of what could happen to me lose those

[32:30] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>funds and the detriment or adverse impacts. It could have

[32:34] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>on the services the quality of life to safety and security

[32:37] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>overcoming it is on a residence on affordable housing side.

[32:41] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>We anticipate that no resulting ensure affordable housing units

[32:45] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>being constructed are preserved. It may reduce

[32:49] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>housing choices. You know, folks

[32:51] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>that don't have the means and the resources to be able to

[32:54] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>secure housing, whether it's rent holder on occupied in

[32:57] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Orange County is got funds that we provide help to put a roof

[33:01] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>over money over families, heads it that then cease to exist to

[33:05] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>the housing trust funds or other means.

[33:07] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>This could be a matter of

[33:10] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>not just hosing security with the choice of jobs that people

[33:13] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>select and where they live does drive the types of jobs that

[33:17] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>you select, what you're able to do to provide for your family.

[33:20] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>So we wanted to highlight here in terms of affordable housing

[33:23] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>impact. We do have a charter amendment that required that we

[33:27] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>keep the housing trust fund in place in perpetuity. We just

[33:30] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>would not be able to fully comply with that in a world

[33:34] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>where these funds would be reduced or significantly pulled

[33:39] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>away from these program merits a new development services.

[33:42] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>We anticipate that there would be the maid service delivery

[33:45] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>increase in delays and residential and commercial and

[33:49] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>residential commercial times review. There would probably be

[33:52] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>a backlog in that review area and a customer support and

[33:57] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>would reduce stuffing. It would result in longer response times

[34:01] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>safety concerns due to delayed inspections.

[34:06] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>There's a health safety and welfare requirement. I mean,

[34:09] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>the work that we do in the building safety side, not being

[34:12] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>able to expeditiously move and respond to some of the

[34:16] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>inspection requests or needs could be a threat to the safety

[34:20] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>and security of our residents, a neighborhood grants area.

[34:23] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>We provide beautification ground sustainability grounds,

[34:27] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>things that in Homs and bring added value and quality to our

[34:31] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>neighborhoods with a reduction in these funds. We do expect to

[34:34] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>see increasing blight

[34:37] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>reduction in property values if you're not enhancing the curb.

[34:40] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Appeal of the extent of the notable impacts, the quality of

[34:43] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>life, diminishing of the overall appearance of our

[34:46] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>neighborhoods, more money is going to the neighborhood

[34:49] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>improvement district in Pine Hills and other areas not being

[34:53] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>able to provide that service. We think we'll have a physical

[34:56] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>notable difference in our communities

[34:59] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>or directive initiatives all throughout the year. We're

[35:02] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>receiving directives from the mayor and commissioners.

[35:06] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>You know, whether it's related to the tobacco ordinance or

[35:09] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>things related to the homeless services, whatever it is,

[35:13] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>we get our directives from you and we turned those things are

[35:16] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>on expeditiously with reduction in staff thing. There would be

[35:20] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>a delay

[35:21] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>or the inability to be able to carry out some of the

[35:23] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>directives from this body

[35:26] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>and by rental services side, the environmental issues that

[35:30] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>are not addressed in a timely fashion, there could be

[35:33] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>implications, their regulatory implications, health

[35:36] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>implications, the issues with pollution. These are things

[35:40] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>that our team is not responsible for and provides

[35:43] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>oversight drilling down a little bit deeper.

[35:47] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Some of these state mandates are unfunded mandates. So

[35:50] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>looking at a total maximum daily load, the risk that we

[35:54] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>anticipate there and meeting a regulatory requirements,

[35:58] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>national pollutant discharge elimination System, PDS.

[36:02] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>These are requirements that we have the state level cold

[36:06] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>updates that were required to be able to come highway.

[36:09] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>The inability to do this prevents presents a risk

[36:13] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>meeting our requirements lower response times for permit

[36:16] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>compliance activities and inspections. We're just

[36:19] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>creating delays in investigations and resolutions

[36:22] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>of citizens, environmental complaints.

[36:25] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>They would have to be a scaling back of public education and

[36:27] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>outreach programs. Risti municipal separate storm,

[36:31] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>water, sewage system

[36:34] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>reduction in the protection of our lakes and rivers in our

[36:37] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>wetlands and our groundwater resources. These are real

[36:40] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>threats. These are not things were making. That stop is

[36:44] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>presenting to you the areas that we have oversight of what

[36:47] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>could happen in a world where there's a reduction or

[36:51] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>elimination of the funds that I recall to satisfy these areas

[36:55] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>of need there to effects on the environment and our residents

[36:58] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>increasing elicit pollutant discharges. But this isn't

[37:02] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>residents increase unauthorized shoreline, clearing illegal dot

[37:06] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>construction and open burning activity. We anticipate an

[37:10] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>increase in impairments over waterways, adversely impacting

[37:14] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>our ecosystem, our pets, human life and the local economy

[37:19] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>reductions. The residents ability for recreation and open

[37:22] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>space. It is the big appeal for orange cones and a central

[37:27] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Florida Aires. The natural means and the inability to be

[37:31] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>able to protect and preserve what I think is our competitive

[37:34] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>advantage puts us in a very precarious place.

[37:42] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>So lastly wrapping up with their summary. What you heard

[37:45] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>today for the fiscal year, 27 budget heads has a proposed

[37:50] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>budget of 256.0. 1 million that's broken on the team.

[37:54] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Personal services. 69 million in operating for 189 Million.

[37:59] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>We are here to celebrate with you. Some exciting things with

[38:02] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>the Orange Tree loves campaign. The Business Resource Office

[38:06] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>that says we're open for business is affordable housing

[38:09] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>investments that were so happy we're able to provide to our

[38:13] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>public to provide that level of security and quality of life.

[38:17] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>And then 13.9 men. And that was mentioned for water, quality

[38:21] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>improvements in the capital improvement for conservation.

[38:24] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>Also mention that series signage improvement. Then the

[38:27] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>fee updates for that cost recovery costs, recovery

[38:30] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>improvements for the work that's done. And those 3 heirs

[38:33] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>of building also looking at what's being proposing, the

[38:38] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>environmental protection and also in zoning. And then lastly

[38:41] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>has shared with all the other departments, the sharing very

[38:44] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>kindly, some of our future funding challenges and the

[38:48] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>implications associated with a world where would see a

[38:51] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>reduction in our funding and that mayor and commissioners

[38:55] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>come to my presentation for Pence. Thank you.

[38:59] <v.Male.spk1 Speaker1>>> All right. A great job with that. We'll open it up for

[39:04] <v.Male.spk1 Speaker1>conversation by questions from members of the board. We'll

[39:08] <v.Male.spk1 Speaker1>start with Commissioner Wilson followed by Commissioner

[39:11] <v.Male.spk1 Speaker1>Summer.

[39:13] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>>> Thank you so much. I am incredibly grateful for the

[39:15] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>work that you have. I mean, top down year, the teams that are

[39:20] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>in front of us today, but many, many people behind the scenes

[39:23] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>are actually out in neighborhoods today that are

[39:27] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>making sure that our lakes are being clean and that our

[39:33] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>neighborhoods are safe. I just I feel really strongly about

[39:36] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>the invisible

[39:39] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>I would say success of a lot of the pets programs that have

[39:42] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>ramped up or been implemented for the first time over these

[39:45] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>last few years. I will also say that we talk very early on in

[39:50] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>my tenure about making sure that each of the divisions and

[39:53] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>parties have the opportunity to directly communicate with the

[39:56] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>public

[39:57] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>and I believe had just made the best use of that additional

[40:01] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>resource and advocacy

[40:03] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>on part of the sport. I think the engage

[40:07] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>website, the ability for people to directly interact. It is

[40:11] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>amazing. I've been trying really hard for motive. I will

[40:14] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>say

[40:16] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>I got some of the feedback about a case that was coming

[40:19] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>through from some of the residents. Incredible right

[40:21] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>came directly off that through my office. So it's not just

[40:25] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>external communication, also internal communication with my

[40:28] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>office. So thank you so much for that. If it's a case is

[40:32] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>coming to the whole board, can I request that that

[40:34] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>communication not just come to the commissioner whose case the

[40:37] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>district it's in. I think there was some examples on Tuesday of

[40:41] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>cases that feedback was given about a potential development

[40:46] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>project and rightfully the feedback him directly to my

[40:50] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>office, which is amazing. But if they didn't, I think

[40:52] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>send it to the entire board. It may not have necessarily

[40:56] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>then.

[40:58] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>And I don't get to talk down the line and tell them because

[41:01] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>of sunshine. So just to have that overall, I think awareness

[41:05] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>of the impact of projects, the fee updates long overdue and

[41:10] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>much-needed. I think to the point of what I'm concerned

[41:14] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>about in our public pork sector with the storm, water fees and

[41:18] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>I want to thank epd for working so closely with them on that

[41:22] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>research that we have the information we know the fee is

[41:25] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>needed. And

[41:27] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>so we're going to have to work around some of that shortfall

[41:30] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>until we figure that out. But these fees make the most

[41:34] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>sense because they also incentivize following our code

[41:38] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>following our comprehensive plan, which we've also worked

[41:41] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>very hard to do race. If you're going to come in with 12,

[41:45] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>very its requests wave, then then just know it's going to be

[41:49] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>cheaper. If you just look at the reason why that was put

[41:51] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>into the comprehensive plan, there was a reason there was an

[41:53] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>overall reason, I think is a lot of pressure to work around

[41:56] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>those those plants. And in just the whole line is hard for you

[42:01] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>all. I know that. But we support that. That's a plan

[42:04] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>that was put into place by the sport.

[42:06] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>So I'm I'm grateful for that. I do want to ask a question

[42:10] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>about the decrease in staffing for building safety.

[42:15] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>Obviously, there's a lot of concern about building safety.

[42:18] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>There continues to be conversations specifically

[42:21] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>district. One concerning a of a relatively new building was

[42:25] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>built in 2014 that had to be evacuated due to safety

[42:29] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>concerns. Structural safety concerns. Our building safety

[42:32] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>people or they're out know the night trying to make sure they

[42:36] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>were getting all the information and doing that work

[42:38] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>into hearing that there's going to be a decrease kind of had a

[42:41] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>visceral out of this response to that. And then also in your

[42:45] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>code officers, they are they're doing hard work. They're out.

[42:49] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>They're up against what I would say are some of the most

[42:52] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>difficult day-to-day challenges in need the most support.

[42:56] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>So have a follow-up question for them. After the first one,

[43:00] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>the first was about the building safety reduction in

[43:03] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>staffing her.

[43:05] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>>> So that's something that certainly we talked about

[43:08] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>internally with Allen plan in terms of the stuffing, making

[43:12] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>sure that it was sufficient for the needs of the community.

[43:16] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>And as I mentioned in the presentation with epic being a

[43:20] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>very large project with rapid timelines and very hard time

[43:25] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>lines, we needed to scale up to be able to meet the needs of

[43:28] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>that project. So with it now being completed, we're really

[43:31] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>going back to what we were that was that those are dedicated

[43:34] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>staff. Yes, it's a readjustment is what it is. So it's plans

[43:38] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>examiner building inspectors, largest portion of that.

[43:43] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>But we certainly do have the right number of stuffing here

[43:46] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>in place to be able to meet the needs of Orange County

[43:50] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>community.

[43:51] <v.spk5 Speaker2>>> That's coming there to do.

[43:54] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>>> That seems to just pointing out that that is in the

[43:56] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>process. So it is driven directly by the amount of that,

[43:59] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>Kitty. So that to the current decreases the revenue to

[44:03] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>support

[44:05] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>decreases as well. So that's the fine balancing act that

[44:08] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>they must manage all the time to ensure that that revenue

[44:13] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>source is supporting the folks and that work. And that's by.

[44:16] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>That's one of the areas that the fees specifically are

[44:21] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>designed to address that cost. Yes, this is not supported by

[44:25] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>the fund.

[44:26] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>>> Yes, the center for us. And that's that building safety

[44:29] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>component specifically give her money. Okay. And then so

[44:32] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>distinctly from that will move into just some what I would

[44:36] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>want to know about supporting our code enforcement. Again,

[44:40] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>I just my heart is with that entire. They are out there

[44:42] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>doing the hard work. But oftentimes when things go

[44:47] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>a medicine that I think, you know, there's been

[44:50] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>recently some some cases where things were being

[44:55] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>warehouses. We use for things that shouldn't be

[44:58] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>we can't be everywhere at once. And how are we trying to make

[45:02] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>sure that there is some empowerment on behalf of that

[45:07] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>of those those staff members to be able to potentially

[45:13] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>without there having this tragedy on the side. Right.

[45:15] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>I think about what happened with the fireworks stores.

[45:17] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>I think about what's happened with this law

[45:21] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>slaughter. All right. Where had there been the potential for

[45:26] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>more oversight? We would have

[45:29] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>unable to prevent a potential tragedy. And I don't know if

[45:32] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>there's no.

[45:33] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>Yeah, yeah.

[45:35] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>>> Yes, summer is a little bit unique. That's good. Because

[45:39] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>the facility wasn't in Orange County either will know the

[45:42] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>retail or that the storefront was it. So some of the word

[45:46] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>speeds. Yes, so I'll see.

[45:49] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>Code enforcement is a chimes area within neighborhood

[45:54] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>services. I'd consider them. The unsung heroes are safe is

[45:58] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>the vicious dog 0 here in the heat of the moment. So they're

[46:02] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>doing the best with the limited stuffing that they have.

[46:06] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>We have a lot of trainings that are offered to that team to

[46:10] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>make sure

[46:12] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>our folks are skilled and ready to be able to meet the

[46:15] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>challenge and demands that they face out there in the

[46:17] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>community. We do have our new manager here, Brenda Jaggers

[46:20] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>that comes with a very heavy layer of zoning expertise.

[46:24] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>And I think that's been such a great addition for that team.

[46:27] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>They're really enforcing our regulations and we have someone

[46:30] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>that is quite first in the county's regulations and

[46:34] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>zoning. So expert, he says they're on the staff. Trainings

[46:38] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>have been around top. So certainly we continue to

[46:41] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>operate. I think I'm a successful level. How can we do

[46:44] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>more? Yes, which is why as mentioned with Lda miss,

[46:47] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>there's a lot more that we're doing on the technology side to

[46:50] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>upgrade that ability for the cause. Officers to have

[46:53] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>accessed or permitting citizens get somewhat of a disconnect,

[46:56] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>right, know that when they're in the field, they're blinded

[46:58] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>their night, seen what the folks at home Central are

[47:01] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>seeing. So I think that the best response in terms of

[47:05] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>improvements in efficiency is going to be seen on the

[47:07] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>technology side. So it's a wait and see is what I'm offering

[47:12] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>since the work is being done. A lot of technology side here

[47:14] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>that that you'll see that you'll be a cold because I

[47:17] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker1>think you did a much better job of describing my concern.

[47:20] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>>> Which is that they are out there a little bit operating in

[47:22] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>the dark and sometimes relying on a neighbor's testimony or so

[47:26] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>having that ability to get

[47:30] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>frequent, reliable, inconsistent information from

[47:34] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>home base, if you will, if I think it's critical and I just

[47:37] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>want to support them, right, we understand that the task that

[47:40] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>we gave you all was a herculean task to come back to this

[47:43] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>budget with 0 increases, right? And that's that's tough to do

[47:47] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>when their neighborhoods being

[47:50] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>put up overnight that we have to make sure that the buildings

[47:54] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>are safe, that people are operating

[47:56] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>as they should be, that the our Commerce continues. So it's

[48:01] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>just a Herculean task. And I appreciate hearing that that

[48:05] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>there's creative efforts to try to make up on the other side.

[48:08] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>I think the last question I had was, of course, being placed

[48:11] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>program near and dear to our hearts that this board has.

[48:14] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>Yeah, the sport has really has worked really hard these last

[48:18] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>years to try to make sure environmental protection is a

[48:21] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>priority. We understand our vote. It's believed that the

[48:23] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>citizens advocate for as much as we do and I

[48:28] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>so the funding that was dedicated in 2021, we

[48:31] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>understand that that is winding down. That's been used for its

[48:34] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>purpose. It is incredible to see the outcomes of

[48:36] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker2>deliverables in that program. What next?

[48:40] <v.Male.spk7 Speaker1>>> Good question, commissioner. Yeah.

[48:43] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>>> And the board is and the board and commissioners,

[48:47] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>it was a loaded question, but they're not listening to me.

[48:49] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>So, yes, it's it's a question that we asked internally as

[48:53] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>well that the team, these are your true blue environmental

[48:59] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>stewards. We take that work very seriously and that the

[49:02] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>team continues to get requests and offers. And folks from the

[49:06] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>community saying we would like to be able to dedicate or sell

[49:10] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>this to Orange County at the future. The to the interest is

[49:13] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>still there in private property owners. I'm giving line for

[49:17] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>protection and preservation.

[49:20] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>We are open on poised and ready to come tonight. The state's

[49:24] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>position that I've taken since we knew that this was happening

[49:27] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>and we spoke with trust for public land about some some

[49:31] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>financing structures.

[49:33] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker1>>> There are options available. This board decided not to

[49:36] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker1>pursue the infrastructure sales tax, but there are still

[49:39] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker1>options available. And I'm going to continue to state that

[49:42] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker1>if we don't have a plan for that, continued some kind of

[49:47] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker1>continued funding for for our acquisition of replaced

[49:52] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker1>properties of conservation land properties. We are going to be,

[49:56] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker1>you know, it will diminish the I believe, connectivity that

[49:59] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker1>we've been able to establish. So we've made a tremendous

[50:02] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker1>impact. But there's a lot of work to be done until we have

[50:05] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker1>to make some tough decisions about that type of financing.

[50:08] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker1>I think it's worth it. The voters have said it's worth it

[50:10] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker1>over and over again. It may be that I have this conversation

[50:15] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker1>all over again a few months with some new people that will

[50:18] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker1>continue to need the support of the leaders that are here today

[50:22] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker1>in making sure that our community stays on track to

[50:25] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker1>prioritize those,

[50:27] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker1>but I believe are critical environmentally sensitive

[50:29] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker1>areas. Thank you all so much for your high demand in the

[50:32] <v.Female.spk4 Speaker1>agree.

[50:34] <v.Male.spk8 Speaker2>>> Okay.

[50:35] <v.Male.spk8 Speaker2>We follow him again. We still have utilities that were trying

[50:40] <v.Male.spk8 Speaker2>to get him before we do the break. So I want to ask the

[50:43] <v.Male.spk8 Speaker2>board members kindly if you can get to your questions and and

[50:46] <v.Male.spk8 Speaker2>then staff, if you can respond, Verus is simply we're going

[50:52] <v.Male.spk8 Speaker2>move the commission of some rare followed by Commissioner

[50:54] <v.Male.spk8 Speaker2>your rebate, then commissioner of the list could there and

[50:57] <v.Male.spk8 Speaker2>then Commissioner Scott.

[50:59] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>>> Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Tania think you just have 3

[51:02] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>questions and just very quickly on slide. 31, if you could,

[51:05] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>please go to the side. It has the impact of potential

[51:09] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>programs that could be cut or reduced regarding the outcome

[51:12] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>of property tax reform.

[51:16] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>And one of the things that I just wanted to ask is I I

[51:18] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>understand that these are

[51:22] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>how it impacts your department. Could you please express for

[51:25] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>anybody who's watching and for us to have the facts when we

[51:28] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>talk to people,

[51:29] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>how do these the right column hear how did these translate

[51:34] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>into taxpayers live? So, for example, if we reduce the

[51:38] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>protection of lakes, rivers, wetlands and groundwater

[51:41] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>resources and worst, how does that impact people outside of

[51:45] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>this building? What do they start to see and they're likes?

[51:48] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>What do they start to smell? And that explains what does

[51:50] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>that look like for them?

[51:52] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>>> Yeah, in the hypothetical sense, you know, we think about

[51:56] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>the fact that we service stewards, we provide that

[51:58] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>oversight. We make sure that there's monitoring to make sure

[52:01] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>that there's permitting with not having the proper staffing

[52:05] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>in place to be able to perform those tasks in a timely

[52:09] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>fashion.

[52:10] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>I imagine a world where there would be great to pollution.

[52:13] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>They would be

[52:14] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>greater violations.

[52:17] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>There would be physical.

[52:20] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>>> Definition of our waterways and lakes in systems that it is

[52:24] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>it dangerous to have you dirty lakes, rivers and water bodies.

[52:27] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>Is that dangerous to people? It's a health threat. It is a

[52:30] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>health threat. Thank you. And then

[52:33] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>in terms of risk, meeting regulatory requirements are

[52:37] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>there are threats, safety threats to people when we mess

[52:40] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>regulatory requirements. Yeah. Their safety threats and

[52:43] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>are also financial threats because there are penalties

[52:46] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>that we could face misstep lines. Taser 100 cities.

[52:51] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>Yes. Who pays them?

[52:53] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>The county would pay those tools whose money doesn't come

[52:56] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>from U.S.. Taxpayers its taxpayers. Right? So it can

[52:59] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>cost taxpayers money as well. In terms of this slower

[53:03] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>response times for permit and compliance and such. How does

[53:06] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>that impact community and people?

[53:09] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>>> I would imagine you'd start to see violations if it takes

[53:12] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>too long. Then folks run the risk of just moving forward

[53:16] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>with construction are moving forward with projects or

[53:20] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>activities without following the proper process. It

[53:23] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>undermines our regulatory process. I think.

[53:26] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>>> Absolutely. And most of that regulatory framework, I'm

[53:28] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>understanding are for reasons of public safety and quality of

[53:32] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>life crowd, safety and welfare.

[53:34] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>Thank you. And then I had a question regarding

[53:38] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>if the property tax reform because we can see like in the

[53:41] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>first year, it's at

[53:44] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>it continues to increase in the year 2. I think it goes up to

[53:47] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>like 200 and 50,000 this I would. So it increases over the

[53:51] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>course of time. So my my question is, is that could this

[53:54] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>property tax reform actually incentivize local governments 2

[53:58] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>instead of approving affordable housing that would have a lower

[54:01] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>tax base to approve instead luxury housing?

[54:06] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>>> And that's a difficult question. A difficult question.

[54:11] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>It's not really a case of approvals. I I think it hinders

[54:15] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>their ability to be able to subsidize developers that are

[54:21] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>in the market of providing affordable housing. So you'll

[54:23] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>probably see a reduction from the market because it's just

[54:27] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>not buildable at that price.

[54:29] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>>> Exactly. Thank you. And then lastly is is that I remember

[54:32] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>from yesterday's session we collect approximately 9% in

[54:35] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>impact fees. What percentage of your budget comes from

[54:39] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>developer impact fees?

[54:42] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>>> I have to get back with you on. Yeah, I don't know the

[54:45] <v.Male.spk3 Speaker2>exact number.

[54:46] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>>> Because I think it's important to point out that to

[54:49] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>do some research on.

[54:52] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>I think it's important to point out because we didn't we

[54:59] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>and is that it is you can get your number. We can better than

[55:03] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker1>that.

[55:03] <v.Male.spk10 Speaker2>>> Of the impact from this. And we don't have any impact

[55:06] <v.Male.spk10 Speaker2>fees that us

[55:08] <v.Male.spk10 Speaker2>that support pets.

[55:10] <v.Male.spk2 Speaker1>>> They collect collect them. But then though, the

[55:12] <v.Male.spk2 Speaker1>transportation school a lot of areas.

[55:16] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker2>>> Maybe I'm in a state of fees. Yeah, it's it's okay.

[55:20] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker2>It's because it and I just want to I just want to summarize

[55:23] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker2>with just with with our impact fees. A couple of weeks ago,

[55:26] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker2>we opted not to study whether or not developers are paying

[55:29] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker2>100% of their impact fees and they do go to important

[55:32] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker2>critical things like schools like roast like infrastructure.

[55:35] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker2>And I still just think that it's important that some point

[55:39] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker2>in time the sport goes back and says that everybody pays their

[55:42] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker2>fair share and that includes developers and I want to thank

[55:45] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker2>you for all that you do and I firmly support extending a

[55:49] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker2>great place funding. Commissioner Wells, thank you,

[55:52] <v.Female.spk9 Speaker2>commissioner. You may be.

[55:54] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>>> Yes, I appreciate the updated information. There's 2

[55:57] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>things. There's one ice on the building where it said

[56:00] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>reinspection permit fee which I believe that's a new fee.

[56:02] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>Guys are

[56:04] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>you're doing?

[56:08] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>So that was on slide this one. 25. Yeah. Now is that

[56:15] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>you can you walk me through that a little because I had a

[56:17] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>particular project in my district about 2 years ago

[56:21] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>where the inspector, although there were sealed plans,

[56:24] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>Chrissy inspector did not want to follow the sealed plans.

[56:28] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>The county done and cause a reinspection,

[56:31] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>right. So

[56:33] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>this this to me is very broad because there's

[56:37] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>there's this and then there's the reality that happens on the

[56:40] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>field. So just curious to know.

[56:44] <v.Female.spk12 Speaker2>>> Commission or inspection fees are going from 38 to 76

[56:49] <v.Female.spk12 Speaker2>based on a time study and the cost of providing the service.

[56:53] <v.Female.spk12 Speaker2>The fee for reinspection and 2014 was $30 and our costs have

[56:58] <v.Female.spk12 Speaker2>risen significantly.

[57:00] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>>> No, that's my question. I I know you're having go up.

[57:03] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>I'm talking about when the re inspection fees caused by the

[57:06] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>actual county and not the applicant because we've had a I

[57:11] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>I've had one where they follow the seal plans and then the

[57:17] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>inspectors said, I don't care with those seal plan say

[57:20] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>I want it changed. So they had a, you know, get another

[57:23] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>inspection. So is is there

[57:26] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>this industry is not black and white, OK? And I think that's

[57:29] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>what's really important because permitting you the zonings and

[57:33] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>variances, there's just some human nature. You just can't

[57:37] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>make it every every every plot of land was sizes. Same in.

[57:41] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>Every developer says it would be different.

[57:44] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>I worry about this because we hear about this on the field

[57:47] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>from people who are actually trying to do a correction or

[57:51] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>they wait around all day and they they're waiting for an

[57:53] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>inspector. An inspector doesn't show up. And so you've got

[57:55] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>people who,

[57:57] <v.Female.spk13 Speaker2>>> like I don't mind a fee. I just think that we need to

[58:00] <v.Female.spk13 Speaker2>be.

[58:01] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>>> Just as respectful to that person who's waiting for an

[58:04] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>inspection of come in and it doesn't come because they get

[58:07] <v.Female.spk11 Speaker1>thrown off and then things like that. So it goes on both that.

[58:11] <v.Female.spk12 Speaker2>>> Commissioner, if our inspectors are not able to make

[58:14] <v.Female.spk12 Speaker2>it that day, we

[58:15] <v.Female.spk12 Speaker2>do not charge them a re inspection. No, that's not.

[58:18] <v.Female.spk12 Speaker2>That's not. The question is I think you're free.

[58:20] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>>> Kind of in the context of the thousands, literally

[58:23] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>thousands. There they are. And certainly of those rare

[58:27] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>instances that there may be some conflicts in terms of

[58:33] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>it was in the plans of the on the field. But that I think if

[58:36] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>you look at it in the context of the numbers, I don't have

[58:40] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>the numbers off the top of my head. I know I get the monthly

[58:42] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>report of those inspections. We're going to say this.

[58:46] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>There may be those those a rare. This is where they're the

[58:51] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>conflict. But those get address, those get addressed.

[58:54] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>Sometimes we understand that frustration by feel when you

[58:59] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>look at their numbers of the one, that's the number that go

[59:03] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>through. Folks get addressed. We identify where those

[59:07] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>conflicts there to be this resolutions. But also they

[59:09] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>taken some great strides in terms of their responsiveness

[59:14] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>and feel now that I think if they want to talk, they can

[59:17] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>talk to, you know, it's that time perhaps. But they could

[59:19] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>talk a bit about some of those changes that have occurred over

[59:22] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>that two-year period of time. Some of those changes that have

[59:24] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>occurred to be more responsive to those activities in the

[59:27] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>field. And I know that there's a litany of things that has put

[59:31] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>in place

[59:33] <v.Male.spk6 Speaker1>as well. But they'll be more than happy to come and go

[59:36] <v.Female.spk14 Speaker2>>> into some of the well into my. My whole point is I've had

[59:39] <v.Female.spk14 Speaker2>this happen in my district where they've had a truck ready

[59:42] <v.Female.spk14 Speaker2>to go do concrete and the inspectors like I don't care.

[59:45] <v.Female.spk14 Speaker2>And this person lost a lot of money because it wasn't just

[59:48] <v.Female.spk14 Speaker2>the inspection fee. It was a concrete being poured. It was

[59:51] <v.Female.spk14 Speaker2>in closing off a street. Was all of those things in.

[59:53] <v.Female.spk14 Speaker2>It does happen quite a bit.

[59:56] <v.Female.spk15 Speaker1>>> With people who do, okay, okay. I don't.

[59:59] <v.Female.spk14 Speaker2>>> I don't know. But it makes you wonder why they're

[1:00:02] <v.Female.spk14 Speaker2>privatizing the line. People are opting to private eyes

[1:00:05] <v.Female.spk14 Speaker2>because of this issue they're having. But it's okay. I'm

[1:00:08] <v.Female.spk14 Speaker2>gonna move on. And I

[1:00:10] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>>> really, really have an issue with the dramatic increase on

[1:00:14] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>Botox. Okay. I've made this. I brought this up to your

[1:00:18] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>staff.

[1:00:19] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>I brought it up to my NAV. Mine at board meeting is got

[1:00:22] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>involved and my communities got really involved. And so I have

[1:00:26] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>my team do research to the surrounding counties and cities

[1:00:30] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>and and this is this is a lot to go from $182, too.

[1:00:38] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>$1308 win

[1:00:43] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>the city of Orlando,

[1:00:45] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>Osceola County, Seminole County, the city of a pop-up

[1:00:49] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>are nowhere near in this in this realm. And it and it

[1:00:53] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>really is bothersome because this is what I share is this is

[1:00:56] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>when we start getting preempted.

[1:00:58] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>When we go from 182 to 1300 hours when we go from 100 and

[1:01:03] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>82 to $3400 when we go from 182 to $4900

[1:01:08] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>on residents who live in this town.

[1:01:11] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>That's that's a major. It's a major thing. And and I really

[1:01:15] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>think that

[1:01:16] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>my what I what I was told was, well, no one wanted to do it

[1:01:20] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>for 20 years. So we're just going to slam it on the

[1:01:23] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>residents right now. And that's not responsible. And that's why

[1:01:27] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>we keep getting criticized about taxes in Homestead.

[1:01:32] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>And us being accused of overcharging and overspending

[1:01:35] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>is when you see something like this, this is this is very

[1:01:38] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>disheartening. And I think that we have not been public enough.

[1:01:41] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>I have a lake town hall meeting on Tuesday where we're going to

[1:01:45] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>let people know. But but I did to my research and it and it's

[1:01:48] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>really appalling to me. When Orange County went from one,

[1:01:50] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>82 Seminole County's $30, the city of Orlando, $62,

[1:01:56] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>city of Osceola County is $85.

[1:02:00] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>Granted, we have additional steps and I get that. But I've

[1:02:03] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>also I've also mentioned, why are we modernizing the system?

[1:02:07] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>Because what I was told primarily was amount of labor,

[1:02:10] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>right? Somebody submits an application and it's not

[1:02:13] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>complete. And the team requires a lot of time reviewing an

[1:02:16] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>application. Didn't say it's not complete. So you've just

[1:02:20] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>been and I'm sure are very talented team is not being paid

[1:02:23] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>$15 an hour.

[1:02:25] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>So when I look at the labor costs, but when you also look

[1:02:28] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>at technology, I tell people I get on and I make a payment.

[1:02:31] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>If I didn't put my,

[1:02:33] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>you know, date of expiration my credit card, it doesn't go

[1:02:36] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>through

[1:02:37] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>like we really should not be a waste in the talent of this

[1:02:40] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>team. Looking at an application that's incomplete. If it's

[1:02:43] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>incomplete, you know, because this is very of Hollywood,

[1:02:46] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>it looks at us and as Orange County's as residents, we pride

[1:02:49] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>ourselves wanting, you know, when I go to my nap or other

[1:02:52] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>trying to do is get their lakes clean, they're trying to see

[1:02:54] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>how much they can leverage or and this to you. I mean,

[1:02:57] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>I have an issue going on in Fern Creek because the U.S. to

[1:03:00] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>use of we're not going to lock your gate anymore. So now I

[1:03:02] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>have people hanging out on the lake and drinking

[1:03:06] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>in a residential area because they want to pay $6200 because

[1:03:09] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>their value in every single penny that goes into the

[1:03:11] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>protection of our waters. But didn't we do something like

[1:03:14] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>this is just not reasonable?

[1:03:16] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>This is not reasonable to me. And I think it's very unfair to

[1:03:19] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>take 20 years and put it on one year.

[1:03:22] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>And I really feel that we need to be much more open with the

[1:03:25] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>public and we need to go to all of our NAV Fords and we need to

[1:03:28] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>talk turn, of course, and we need to talk to residents

[1:03:30] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>before we do that.

[1:03:31] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>I do believe costs have gone up. I'm not saying they haven't

[1:03:36] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>to go. 1400 1% increase on people who live in this town is

[1:03:43] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>I think very responsible. I need to be open to looking at

[1:03:46] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>with corporate our companies are involved because it tends

[1:03:48] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>to be more company or lack of knowledge on a resident

[1:03:53] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>that's just does not seem like the best course of action.

[1:03:57] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>What we do when we have so much invested in Mst isn't so much

[1:04:01] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>people who live on the lake love those lights choose to

[1:04:03] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>live on those lakes and contribute. And you know,

[1:04:06] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>much more to, you know, must use are more than just people

[1:04:09] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>in the lake. My neighbors across the street who can't who

[1:04:11] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>don't have access to the lake

[1:04:13] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>pay into that. And I think we really need to be a lot more

[1:04:16] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>respectful to the residents. Sullivan, this just like we

[1:04:19] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>treat parks and everything else. And I I really wish that

[1:04:23] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>this board will consider that and actually get some real

[1:04:25] <v.Female.spk16 Speaker1>feedback from the community.

[1:04:27] <v.Male.spk1 Speaker2>>> It really gets to students on on the decline, less of it.

[1:04:34] <v.Male.spk1 Speaker2>And let's bring that back full board discussion and we can

[1:04:39] <v.Male.spk1 Speaker2>look at those fees, C what may be an appropriate line item but

[1:04:44] <v.Male.spk1 Speaker2>doing movies for other questions. Commissioner,

[1:04:46] <v.Male.spk1 Speaker2>you're e-bay.

[1:04:49] <v.Female.spk17 Speaker1>>> Everything is everything is going. So thank you.

[1:04:52] <v.Male.spk1 Speaker2>>> All right. We're going to go to Commissioner Gomez Cordero.

[1:04:55] <v.Female.spk18 Speaker1>>> Thank you, mayor. And thank you. Missed any of full your

[1:04:59] <v.Female.spk18 Speaker1>presentation and for youth team that directors everyone.

[1:05:02] <v.Female.spk18 Speaker1>I mean, they have been so accessible to this report have

[1:05:05] <v.Female.spk18 Speaker1>helped me so much. So I have to say thank you. I cannot believe

[1:05:08] <v.Female.spk18 Speaker1>what he's saying. Thank you. And I have to say also thank

[1:05:11] <v.Female.spk18 Speaker1>you to leave and who was in the front receiver and the staff

[1:05:14] <v.Female.spk18 Speaker1>there is that they have been helping but helping and

[1:05:17] <v.Female.spk18 Speaker1>assisting in a good way to his spending that comes and doesn't

[1:05:20] <v.Female.spk18 Speaker1>have a clue what they have to win. He and the rest in the

[1:05:24] <v.Female.spk18 Speaker1>front would be helping. So thank you for and also to land

[1:05:27] <v.Female.spk18 Speaker1>about that is accessible to me to connect those small business

[1:05:31] <v.Female.spk18 Speaker1>to Orange County. So thank you. Thank you. I mean, I will not

[1:05:34] <v.Female.spk18 Speaker1>do this if I do have you all because is a lot of work.

[1:05:37] <v.Female.spk18 Speaker1>But anyway, thank you. And I just want I have 2 questions.

[1:05:40] <v.Female.spk18 Speaker1>One in slide. Number 9, you said about reclassifying

[1:05:46] <v.Female.spk18 Speaker1>position. Can you give me an example?

[1:05:50] <v.Male.spk19 Speaker2>>> So particularly in areas like building safety, we've had

[1:05:55] <v.Male.spk19 Speaker2>opportunity is with our inspectors are a plans.

[1:05:59] <v.Male.spk19 Speaker2>Examiner is where we'd be able to reclassify, too, the next

[1:06:03] <v.Male.spk19 Speaker2>level within the chain of that positioning so that we the

[1:06:07] <v.Male.spk19 Speaker2>person is uncapped just that. That's either though they're

[1:06:11] <v.Male.spk19 Speaker2>able then to go to level one level, 2 level 3.

[1:06:14] <v.Female.spk20 Speaker1>>> Ok, 3. Okay.

[1:06:18] <v.Female.spk20 Speaker1>Okay. And then

[1:06:20] <v.Female.spk20 Speaker1>and my other question is

[1:06:26] <v.Female.spk20 Speaker1>and okay in this instance in the summary is says that the

[1:06:31] <v.Female.spk20 Speaker1>proposed budget total is 256.1 million.

[1:06:37] <v.Female.spk20 Speaker1>Is that the the the some of the personal services and operating

[1:06:41] <v.Female.spk20 Speaker1>the ones that didn't? It's OK, so is 208 minutes. Just

[1:06:47] <v.Female.spk20 Speaker1>that's it's okay. Yeah, Asian. Get a person. But when you use

[1:06:53] <v.Female.spk20 Speaker1>it is 200 and you add it is 258 Million.

[1:06:59] <v.Female.spk20 Speaker1>It's not 256.1. I just got more money. So, yeah, money that's

[1:07:04] <v.Female.spk20 Speaker1>going on and that it was just all the people that know,

[1:07:06] <v.Female.spk20 Speaker1>you know, the plenty of spending for. Okay. And that's

[1:07:09] <v.Female.spk20 Speaker1>it. Thank you, Commissioner. Thank you. Thank you,

[1:07:13] <v.Female.spk20 Speaker1>Commissioner Scott.

[1:07:15] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>>> Thank you, Mayor Time. Thank you for that

[1:07:17] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>presentation. As you know, we've had a

[1:07:21] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>it challenges over the past couple years. More recently,

[1:07:24] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>the slop World and then Commissioner

[1:07:27] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>Wilson talked about the warehouse inspections. Can you

[1:07:32] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>I know is all their fresh? Is there anything that you're

[1:07:35] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>ready to share? Just got this conversation is to address

[1:07:39] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>either one time inspections by code enforcement cease-fire

[1:07:43] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>separately during the meeting to discuss to try to mitigate

[1:07:46] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>or prevent some of those things happening either. And in a

[1:07:49] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>warehouse that has fireworks a warehouse as animals that

[1:07:51] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>should be should be there.

[1:07:53] <v.Male.spk22 Speaker1>>> I mean, but friendly.

[1:07:55] <v.Male.spk22 Speaker1>She wants to share some of the exciting things that the team

[1:07:58] <v.Male.spk22 Speaker1>is working on.

[1:08:01] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>>> Brandy, listen, I know you still in the kitchen cooking

[1:08:04] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>added some seasoning and stuff like that. So to share, which

[1:08:07] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>are ready to share. I know this is a process and it's going

[1:08:09] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>require a lot of partners, not just our staff and all the

[1:08:12] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>other agencies, whatever you're comfortable ish or not need,

[1:08:15] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>you're going to be tough. You're not ready.

[1:08:17] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>>> Good morning. Commissioners of Rangers manager,

[1:08:19] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>Neighborhood Services Division

[1:08:22] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>to Cook plans is limited by where we can. Actually that's

[1:08:27] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>what we can do.

[1:08:31] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>So if we can see you from the right away or from an area that

[1:08:36] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>were legally allowed to be,

[1:08:38] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>then we can you right up the violation if we see it with the

[1:08:42] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>issue at the warehouse is is that we can't go into those

[1:08:45] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>private properties and this may gives us access either the

[1:08:48] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>owner or an occupation. So

[1:08:53] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>violations are in response to callers calling in.

[1:08:58] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>We're about 50 for 50, 50 right now on callers calling in

[1:09:03] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>violations versus inspector observed.

[1:09:06] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>That's where are our biggest hurdle is in getting access

[1:09:10] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>inside of those buildings. And if they don't pull it

[1:09:13] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>appropriate for me, it's so

[1:09:15] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>in the case of the warehouse was off or they had not pulled

[1:09:18] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>any permits to change the use of that building

[1:09:21] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>that use wasn't allowed in that building. And so no one knew

[1:09:24] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>what was going on to it inside that building. It was, is it

[1:09:27] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>essentially built to store cars? That's it.

[1:09:31] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>And so that's where our hurdles, 6 now, fire rescue has

[1:09:36] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>access that we might get to gain access that way. But until

[1:09:40] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>we have some that can allow us into that building, we can't

[1:09:43] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>then go in and issue new violations.

[1:09:46] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>>> And then so is a follow-up to that. If someone were to

[1:09:49] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>report something they've seen, you guys would maybe try to

[1:09:52] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>work with other agencies to communicate that information

[1:09:54] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>who might have. That's what this fire rescuers say. Hey,

[1:09:57] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>we received this complaint and, you know, may have more

[1:10:00] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>authority or or resource to be able to address it through

[1:10:02] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>other means.

[1:10:03] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>>> Yeah. And there's some recent cases that you may be

[1:10:07] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>familiar with. We partnered with the health Department,

[1:10:09] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>the fire department, the sheriff's department, you know,

[1:10:11] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>wherever we can find a resource to help us, you know, bring

[1:10:16] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>that property into compliance or give us access that we need

[1:10:19] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>to in order to ensure the safety of the community.

[1:10:22] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>They we're partnering with those organizations

[1:10:25] <v.Female.spk23 Speaker1>trying to bring that to a resolution.

[1:10:28] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>>> Commissioners, mayor, one of those partnerships out they've

[1:10:32] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker2>got 2 years or so ago, Code Enforcement.

[1:10:35] <v.Male.spk24 Speaker1>>> Fire Department, building health departments.

[1:10:40] <v.Male.spk24 Speaker1>And I feel like I'm this is someone the sheriff's office

[1:10:43] <v.Male.spk24 Speaker1>several age, 22 apartment complex where they have rats

[1:10:47] <v.Male.spk24 Speaker1>roaches even sue, which is coming out into a playground is

[1:10:50] <v.Male.spk24 Speaker1>the Cayden apartments. And so you have it where the owner

[1:10:53] <v.Male.spk24 Speaker1>he's in one state, the management groups, another

[1:10:55] <v.Male.spk24 Speaker1>state, the attorneys here, no one's response and so really

[1:10:58] <v.Male.spk24 Speaker1>truck and took us a concert effort of all those agencies to

[1:11:01] <v.Male.spk24 Speaker1>be able to just get any type of relief. And we still have Jones

[1:11:04] <v.Male.spk24 Speaker1>today. So they've done a great job. I don't have any other

[1:11:07] <v.Male.spk24 Speaker1>questions. Just thank you. Time you you may not know this

[1:11:11] <v.Male.spk24 Speaker1>may be your staff tells you, but when it comes to Brandy,

[1:11:14] <v.Male.spk24 Speaker1>Jason, Jennifer, Melissa.

[1:11:17] <v.Male.spk25 Speaker2>>> You would think that they were or when the warranty or

[1:11:20] <v.Male.spk25 Speaker2>I'm calling you for your loan approval of the way I call

[1:11:23] <v.Male.spk25 Speaker2>them.

[1:11:23] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker1>>> And they answer because I love them at least 2 or 3 times

[1:11:27] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker1>a day, sometimes 4, 5, times a day. And they are always

[1:11:31] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker1>responsive with the team is responsive. And so from my a

[1:11:34] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker1>customer service to me for nominal or 2% from a customer

[1:11:37] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker1>service to the residents, phenomenal 100%. I don't know

[1:11:40] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker1>how you still Franklin from us, but it's okay. Still in the

[1:11:50] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker1>grateful they kidnap me kidnap me for about 2 and a half hours

[1:11:54] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker1>and took me out and I think it becomes keto. So that was

[1:11:56] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker1>great. But it was great experience. But all you guys

[1:11:58] <v.Male.spk21 Speaker1>have just been phenomenal to work with. I am super super
