We have Franklin Center U.S. 38 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,230 for building safety. We have Alan Kind who, unfortunately is 39 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,820 not here. He's a personal matter that he's dealing with 40 00:02:23,830 --> 00:02:26,370 with the passing of family members. So he's in the 41 00:02:26,380 --> 00:02:28,390 morning, but unfortunately is done here. But I know he's 42 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,030 watching online, but Christine R and or assistant manager is 43 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,390 here to represent, 44 00:02:33,850 --> 00:02:36,870 we have our housing community development manager mentioned 45 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,950 last or and then lastly, our newest addition to the 46 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,150 management to you, we have a misbranded rigors is joining us 47 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,570 as a manager for neighborhood services.

You know this and last year's budget, 50 00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:59,370 we had a total of 600. So we've slightly reduce the number 51 00:02:59,380 --> 00:03:03,040 moving forward for fiscal year 27. So you'll see a reduced 52 00:03:03,050 --> 00:03:05,870 number and we'll talk a little bit more about that. Why that's 53 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:11,610 going on. A total of 591 is what we have for fiscal year. 54 00:03:11,620 --> 00:03:15,570 27. I'm very dedicated committee and I will say very 55 00:03:15,580 --> 00:03:19,520 passionate team of all the work that we do for Orange County. 56 00:03:20,590 --> 00:03:24,000 It's only appropriate to start with our mission statement. 57 00:03:24,650 --> 00:03:27,740 I call this or guiding polls our commitment to the 58 00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:30,720 community. So folks know who we are, what our brand is and what 59 00:03:30,730 --> 00:03:31,770 we stand for. 60 00:03:32,270 --> 00:03:35,360 So mission statement introduced to a strategic management plan 61 00:03:35,370 --> 00:03:38,590 reads Planning and environment and development Services 62 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,670 Department heads. We exist to serve of the public and then 63 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,140 hands the Orange County, Florida community by offering 64 00:03:46,150 --> 00:03:49,490 sustainable growth, protecting the environment, improve the 65 00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:53,090 quality of life for current and future generations. That is our 66 00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:57,090 contract to the public, our commitment that the things that 67 00:03:57,100 --> 00:04:00,680 we do in the commitment that we make to service, certainly 68 00:04:00,690 --> 00:04:04,250 Stern Ridge to plenty of life for Orange County and our 69 00:04:04,260 --> 00:04:07,440 focus. And our main client is certainly the public. We're 70 00:04:07,450 --> 00:04:09,190 citizens the residence. 71 00:04:10,670 --> 00:04:14,830 So stepping into the fiscal year, 27 budget, total 72 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,810 operating budget of 256.1 million. And then I walk you 73 00:04:19,820 --> 00:04:23,410 through a counter clockwise. The 5 components that make up 74 00:04:23,420 --> 00:04:27,760 that budget starting out with the general fund. That's 21% of 75 00:04:27,770 --> 00:04:32,070 our budget. A total of 54.2 million that we have building 76 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:37,110 safety fund. That's 13% of our budget. 34.1 million. And we 77 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,990 know that's an enterprise fund under the draft section and 78 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,060 this is maybe where we have Iran or entitlement funds for 79 00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:49,250 siplin section 8 cdbg. That's a total of 23% of our budget. 80 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,380 At 59.1 million and then we have the housing trust fund. 81 00:04:53,860 --> 00:04:58,780 That's 34% of our budget. Total of 86.5 million. And then 82 00:04:58,790 --> 00:05:01,840 lastly, we have the other category. That's 9% of the 83 00:05:01,850 --> 00:05:03,870 budget. 22.2 million. 84 00:05:04,450 --> 00:05:07,430 What you'll notice. Mayor and commissioners, if you do. 85 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,670 The quick math is looking at the grounds. One of the holes 86 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:11,610 in Trump's fun. 87 00:05:12,450 --> 00:05:16,310 That's more than half of our budget. 57 1% of the pens 88 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,960 budget to pass through funds. 89 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:24,120 So Penn certainly serves as a conduit for these resources 90 00:05:24,130 --> 00:05:27,190 that pass through our department that don't stay like 91 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,730 some of our other internal departments. Much of what we do 92 00:05:30,740 --> 00:05:33,940 is make impact in committee to development and in affordable 93 00:05:33,950 --> 00:05:37,650 housing and environmental protection. And we take that 94 00:05:37,660 --> 00:05:41,770 role very secretly knowing that it's the pump, prince of kids 95 00:05:41,780 --> 00:05:45,760 of the laws for the enrichment of our small businesses said 96 00:05:45,770 --> 00:05:49,510 and security and housing and safety for our residents. 97 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,900 So you'll see a lot of business happening online and 98 00:05:52,910 --> 00:05:56,040 communication happening just to make sure that the public is 99 00:05:56,050 --> 00:05:59,950 aware of these funds that are made available through pets. 100 00:06:01,550 --> 00:06:04,640 Looking at the out of line, some comparing the changes 101 00:06:04,650 --> 00:06:08,930 between fiscal year 26 and just get your 27. We've had a 102 00:06:08,940 --> 00:06:12,400 reduction in our overall budget. So we're going don't 103 00:06:12,410 --> 00:06:18,540 buy 1.4%. That's a total of 2.7 million. I also mentioned that 104 00:06:18,550 --> 00:06:22,480 we've reduced in staffing for fiscal year, 27 sitters, 105 00:06:22,490 --> 00:06:25,910 a reduction on the building safety sytem. We'll talk a 106 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,230 little bit about that in the next slide. So that's a net 107 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,850 change of 9 positions there. 108 00:06:33,890 --> 00:06:37,550 Looking at the stuffing within heads. One of the challenges 109 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,560 that I face coming on board back in 2024, was a very high 110 00:06:40,570 --> 00:06:45,680 vacancy rate. We had a vacancy rate by then, but 12% so 111 00:06:45,690 --> 00:06:48,400 certainly understood the challenge before those making 112 00:06:48,410 --> 00:06:51,230 sure that we have bodies in the positions and the work could be 113 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,440 done. So I'm so excited by the partnership that we forged to 114 00:06:55,450 --> 00:07:00,140 with human resources to get those vacancy numbers reduce 115 00:07:00,630 --> 00:07:04,940 today. We actually have a vacancy, a 51% shines. And 116 00:07:04,950 --> 00:07:09,810 that's it 0.5%. And so we've gone down by about 4% in our 117 00:07:09,820 --> 00:07:13,610 vacancy rate in quickly moving to fill those positions. 118 00:07:13,890 --> 00:07:17,140 The biggest reductions that we've seen thankfully has been 119 00:07:17,150 --> 00:07:19,670 in housing and neighborhood services with the efforts that 120 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,760 we've made for fiscal year 27. We do have one new position 121 00:07:23,770 --> 00:07:27,080 that's being proposed. That's a grant funded positions that out 122 00:07:27,090 --> 00:07:30,570 for the 15, the general fund that's coming from the ship 123 00:07:30,580 --> 00:07:33,670 funds or state funds for a new administrative specialist 124 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,060 position to support that unit 125 00:07:36,830 --> 00:07:39,860 in the building safety division. We are anticipating a 126 00:07:39,870 --> 00:07:42,570 reduction of 10 positions there 127 00:07:43,130 --> 00:07:46,970 really scaling back that air of our operation, recognizing with 128 00:07:46,980 --> 00:07:48,330 Epic a major 129 00:07:49,290 --> 00:07:52,050 partner that we have there and bring that project forward. 130 00:07:52,060 --> 00:07:54,880 We had to expand to be able to meet the needs and know that 131 00:07:54,890 --> 00:07:57,910 that's been successfully completed and open. We're ve 132 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,290 scaling to make sure that we're adjusting our numbers. Sales 133 00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:03,200 here, reduction there and building safety. 134 00:08:04,070 --> 00:08:06,410 The president may be asked, what are you doing? How are you 135 00:08:06,420 --> 00:08:10,010 getting these vacancy rates to levels that you're now seeing 136 00:08:10,020 --> 00:08:14,640 successfully very strategic approach? We've done a lot more 137 00:08:14,650 --> 00:08:19,340 work on the social media site. Thankfully for the iOS that 138 00:08:19,350 --> 00:08:22,390 were key. This is to make sure when positions are being made 139 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,600 available. Those are being posted online. And there's a 140 00:08:24,610 --> 00:08:28,310 lot of traction that you'll see only 10 indeed and other 141 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,960 platforms to make sure that the public knows that these 142 00:08:30,970 --> 00:08:32,270 positions are available. 143 00:08:33,100 --> 00:08:35,810 Training is a big thing with unpaid. So we have our new live 144 00:08:35,820 --> 00:08:40,140 program that started this year. So leadership in training, 145 00:08:40,150 --> 00:08:43,410 many requests from the staff, you know, for emerging leaders 146 00:08:43,700 --> 00:08:46,160 that have indicated through our servies and are looking for 147 00:08:46,170 --> 00:08:49,480 opportunities to prepare themselves to be the next 148 00:08:49,490 --> 00:08:52,780 generation of leaders across Orange County. And we took that 149 00:08:52,790 --> 00:08:57,090 to heart, went to work and put together a training program for 150 00:08:57,100 --> 00:09:00,950 emerging leaders excited across 5 months that we work very 151 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,450 closely with or leadership court within pays to provide 152 00:09:04,460 --> 00:09:07,600 training for that cool. So not just focusing on the attraction 153 00:09:07,610 --> 00:09:10,220 of staff and talent book, focusing mainly on the 154 00:09:10,230 --> 00:09:13,200 retention and making sure that there's a legacy there for the 155 00:09:13,210 --> 00:09:15,970 next generation of leaders. Accordingly, management 156 00:09:15,980 --> 00:09:19,900 training is a staple within pads. Every quarter. We have 157 00:09:19,910 --> 00:09:23,460 professional training for our management team. So that's been 158 00:09:23,470 --> 00:09:27,080 going very successfully over the last 2 years. We have an 159 00:09:27,090 --> 00:09:30,410 internship program that I think is quite a great model for 160 00:09:30,420 --> 00:09:34,230 agency. It's built within or Environmental Protection 161 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,320 Division where we have a volunteer internship program. 162 00:09:38,330 --> 00:09:41,240 We find the brightest and best from area schools with it to 163 00:09:41,250 --> 00:09:45,070 ensure we're looking at folks from UCF from. We bring them in 164 00:09:45,430 --> 00:09:49,720 as trainees to learn the industry within heads and with 165 00:09:49,730 --> 00:09:52,730 the hope that we would be able to retain these individuals 166 00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:56,300 over time. It's been going on for more than a decade. And 167 00:09:56,310 --> 00:09:58,990 we've seen some of those students matriculate into 168 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,120 permanent positions within pet. So that's been a success for 169 00:10:02,130 --> 00:10:05,470 us. And having that internship program built within a 170 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,870 certification program is something that we started this 171 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:12,210 year again as a request from our staff asking Lee Upskill 172 00:10:12,220 --> 00:10:16,020 beyond just having degrees. What can we do to of 10 that 173 00:10:16,030 --> 00:10:18,530 are professional development and grew in her coffin? Our 174 00:10:18,540 --> 00:10:21,900 trainings. So we'd out of the car before. And then we said, 175 00:10:21,910 --> 00:10:26,060 OK, we create these incentives for you to be certified and to 176 00:10:26,070 --> 00:10:29,510 be of skilled and train them to return would be that you would 177 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,560 see increases in 178 00:10:31,770 --> 00:10:36,920 the salary most that are given. So there is a a relationship, 179 00:10:36,930 --> 00:10:39,420 you know, an inverted relationship there that as you 180 00:10:39,430 --> 00:10:43,040 increase in your certification and you'll get an opportunity 181 00:10:43,050 --> 00:10:45,780 to be able to move forward in the agency. And then last 182 00:10:45,790 --> 00:10:48,810 Reclassifications, you know, we looked at some of the positions 183 00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:52,800 that were static, some that were dormant and in many of 184 00:10:52,810 --> 00:10:55,440 those cases realize that some of those positions needed to be 185 00:10:55,450 --> 00:10:57,700 reclassified of people are looking to stay with the 186 00:10:57,710 --> 00:11:01,030 organization. There shouldn't be a cap there that hinders 187 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,570 them from being able to move up over time, especially if 188 00:11:04,580 --> 00:11:07,330 they're increasing in certifications, skills and 189 00:11:07,340 --> 00:11:10,950 degrees. That's been very successful. So both on both 190 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,290 sides between retention and recruitment, we're seeing 191 00:11:14,300 --> 00:11:17,320 responses there. We hope that by next year's budget you'll 192 00:11:17,330 --> 00:11:20,250 see at even greater reduction that they consider a throat 193 00:11:20,260 --> 00:11:21,040 pets. 194 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,070 Looking at the budget highlights I'm excited to 195 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,260 share. We launched our strategic management plan last 196 00:11:30,270 --> 00:11:34,330 year and with heads being a front facing customer service 197 00:11:34,340 --> 00:11:37,500 focused apartment. It's not just focusing on the dollars 198 00:11:37,620 --> 00:11:40,880 but understanding the why behind hold the money moves on 199 00:11:40,890 --> 00:11:44,250 what we prioritize. We don't like this as a blueprint. 200 00:11:44,260 --> 00:11:46,610 I mentioned the mission statement before when you open 201 00:11:46,620 --> 00:11:49,840 it is the first thing that you see. So the public understands 202 00:11:49,850 --> 00:11:52,990 the brand that we carry as a department and understand the 203 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,770 priorities that we've outlined for the entire team. So we 204 00:11:56,780 --> 00:11:59,930 consider does our blueprint, our guide that helps in the 205 00:11:59,940 --> 00:12:02,850 decision-making. It's a statement of our purpose. 206 00:12:02,860 --> 00:12:06,250 It's or why that drives our fiscal priorities. We spend the 207 00:12:06,260 --> 00:12:09,240 money. There's a reason it shouldn't just be haphazard or 208 00:12:09,250 --> 00:12:12,790 arbitrary. It's helped us, though, to help to reduce the 209 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,280 silos across the 7 divisions. Oftentimes with then you run 210 00:12:17,290 --> 00:12:20,300 the risk of several parts being separate and moving in 211 00:12:20,310 --> 00:12:22,940 different divisions on different directions. But we've 212 00:12:22,950 --> 00:12:25,680 fallen through the strategic management plan. It's helpless 213 00:12:25,690 --> 00:12:29,120 to reduce those silos and really unified department 214 00:12:29,130 --> 00:12:33,220 across the 7 divisions. So line in the strategic management 215 00:12:33,230 --> 00:12:34,680 plan. Happy this year. 216 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,890 5 focus areas for us at that apartment talent acquisition 217 00:12:38,900 --> 00:12:41,620 and management, making sure that we're hiring the by just 218 00:12:41,630 --> 00:12:44,400 brightest and best. And we're keeping them here within Orange 219 00:12:44,410 --> 00:12:47,050 County, looking at process improvements that are there 220 00:12:47,060 --> 00:12:50,060 ways that we could improve the things that we do with working 221 00:12:50,070 --> 00:12:52,470 with greater efficiency and timeliness. Many of the 222 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,650 businesses had said time is money. When you take too long, 223 00:12:55,660 --> 00:12:59,180 we waste money. We want to make sure that where reexamining 224 00:12:59,190 --> 00:13:01,960 some of the processes internally and making sure that 225 00:13:01,970 --> 00:13:05,040 we're dealing in a fission's is to be able to deliver top 226 00:13:05,050 --> 00:13:09,230 service to the public. Innovation and technology to is 227 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,700 a great focus for us within pads, always looking for new 228 00:13:12,710 --> 00:13:15,710 applications and will go to conferences. We focus on 229 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,320 finding new innovative ways whether it's I are other things 230 00:13:19,330 --> 00:13:22,260 to be able to deliver our services to the public 231 00:13:22,270 --> 00:13:25,520 communication is another priority for us, making sure 232 00:13:25,530 --> 00:13:29,460 that we have piles and those that are first in that air of 233 00:13:29,470 --> 00:13:33,590 delivering timely, transparent and easily accessible 234 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,180 communication to the public. And then the last house, 235 00:13:36,190 --> 00:13:38,860 a relationship building is one of the most important ones for 236 00:13:38,870 --> 00:13:42,100 us for jingles, right, collaboration, Ys with the 237 00:13:42,110 --> 00:13:44,610 mayor and commissioners understanding the need so that 238 00:13:44,620 --> 00:13:48,790 we can be your eyes and ears, hands and feet and delivering 239 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,670 the directives and delivering the priorities of this board 240 00:13:51,910 --> 00:13:54,150 and also forging those relationships, the right 241 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,350 relationships with our partners in the community, whether it's 242 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,600 locally or at the state level or would say not to federal 243 00:14:00,610 --> 00:14:03,770 level in areas where managing entitlement dollars need to 244 00:14:03,780 --> 00:14:06,560 make sure that we have the right connections there. 245 00:14:08,570 --> 00:14:12,620 Another highlight that we're so excited about this is Archie a 246 00:14:12,630 --> 00:14:17,060 campaign. So the OC Love Stream Campaign was launched this year 247 00:14:17,070 --> 00:14:21,450 will continue on and he's got your 27 so move forward with 248 00:14:21,460 --> 00:14:24,850 the idea of reforest ing and helping to increase the kind of 249 00:14:24,860 --> 00:14:28,290 guy across Orange County. So we're proposing are our 250 00:14:28,300 --> 00:14:32,220 urban forestry Mad Master plan. That's a 25 year kind of your 251 00:14:32,230 --> 00:14:35,720 road map. It will show the areas of can says the areas 252 00:14:35,730 --> 00:14:40,220 where we have greater heat or exposure to the public in those 253 00:14:40,230 --> 00:14:43,230 low income communities that don't have enough tree 254 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,110 coverage. We want to be intentional about my field 255 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,770 where those vulnerable areas are making sure we're spending 256 00:14:49,780 --> 00:14:54,540 the dollars and intentional ways within those vulnerable is 257 00:14:54,550 --> 00:14:58,140 allows us to expand the tree, planting opportunities to not 258 00:14:58,150 --> 00:15:01,710 just planning for it, but on the green infrastructure side, 259 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,750 sometimes eyes local governments. We focus on the 260 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,890 great infrastructure. You know, we focus on the water lines and 261 00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:10,810 we focus on the streets, but so important to make sure that 262 00:15:10,820 --> 00:15:13,170 we're planning intentionally for the green infrastructure. 263 00:15:13,180 --> 00:15:17,030 We consider this cool that we're looking to meet every 264 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,170 year, accounting at least 500 trees within those designated 265 00:15:20,180 --> 00:15:24,700 areas. The benefits, of course, improving shade, creating 266 00:15:24,710 --> 00:15:28,010 cooling our temperatures, keep rising with global warming and 267 00:15:28,020 --> 00:15:31,250 things that are happening, improving the air quality 268 00:15:31,260 --> 00:15:35,480 throughout our community and of course, creating a Habitat for 269 00:15:35,490 --> 00:15:37,540 Wildlife that's here in Orange County, 270 00:15:39,330 --> 00:15:42,430 the Business Resource Office. Another exciting highlight that 271 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,160 we wanted to share what we did. Our surveys surrounding the 272 00:15:46,170 --> 00:15:48,370 strategic management plan, something that came out very 273 00:15:48,380 --> 00:15:51,420 strongly was the business community saying it's too 274 00:15:51,430 --> 00:15:54,680 difficult to navigate. The services of Orange County were 275 00:15:54,690 --> 00:15:57,410 sent to procurement was sent to the business of all. I was sent 276 00:15:57,420 --> 00:16:00,200 economic development, different permitting. It becomes a 277 00:16:00,210 --> 00:16:03,790 labyrinth that we get titled In. Can We have a one-stop 278 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,760 shop? So we heard he responded by creating this business 279 00:16:07,770 --> 00:16:11,200 resource office. One of my deputies often said when folks 280 00:16:11,210 --> 00:16:13,670 come in for permit inspections, they should leave with 281 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,700 resources. So the one stop shop lows for us to build that 282 00:16:17,710 --> 00:16:20,450 relationship with the small Business Committee. We 283 00:16:20,460 --> 00:16:24,910 considered hub for you to find the services of Orange County 284 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,460 where the bulls in together all the different facets of small 285 00:16:28,470 --> 00:16:31,610 business support, throw the Cones east through this front 286 00:16:31,620 --> 00:16:35,360 facing physical office. But we also have a digital presence 287 00:16:35,370 --> 00:16:38,040 online if businesses come in and they want to be able to 288 00:16:38,050 --> 00:16:42,120 find out how to do business in Orange County. So it allows us 289 00:16:42,130 --> 00:16:47,180 to promote or county programs. We also take the programming to 290 00:16:47,190 --> 00:16:49,880 the streets to the boot camp. So not just having the 291 00:16:49,890 --> 00:16:51,350 businesses come here, 292 00:16:51,820 --> 00:16:54,110 but we've partnered with some of the commissioners we 293 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,850 partnered with local agencies like the NEC to be able to 294 00:16:57,860 --> 00:17:01,010 bring that messaging of one Orange County offers to the 295 00:17:01,020 --> 00:17:03,930 public. So we're rolling out who's comes between the summer 296 00:17:03,940 --> 00:17:07,900 and the fall. This is a business robot for navigating 297 00:17:07,910 --> 00:17:11,530 cone to services resources to help scale and grow your 298 00:17:11,540 --> 00:17:15,240 business. So many of you will see a lot of chatter happening 299 00:17:15,250 --> 00:17:18,790 online with those boot camps being rolled out. And we've had 300 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,020 several already in the Pine Hills area. We've had some in 301 00:17:22,030 --> 00:17:26,130 district 4. So we continue to partner with this body to make 302 00:17:26,140 --> 00:17:30,220 sure that the messaging is all here that Orange County is open 303 00:17:30,230 --> 00:17:31,250 for business. 304 00:17:32,710 --> 00:17:36,430 Affordable housing is another exciting area that we've seen 305 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:41,470 much success in over the last several years. So our housing 306 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:46,180 trust fund that's budgeted at 86.5 million in terms of the 307 00:17:46,190 --> 00:17:52,850 protected units generated 2,300 new units. That's 542 that have 308 00:17:52,860 --> 00:17:57,150 already been completed. 1261 that are under way, 309 00:17:57,540 --> 00:18:02,490 500 that are planned for fiscal year. 27 focusing on the rehab 310 00:18:02,500 --> 00:18:06,190 and preservation side. An additional tour is a 50 unit 311 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,050 generated 312 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,510 through the revolving loan fund. And this is a new 313 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,350 initiative that our team has created that I think is quite 314 00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:17,670 successful for those smaller not-for-profit hosing 315 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,510 developers that there's a low interest rate fun were able to 316 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,170 partner with the lending institution. They want to 317 00:18:23,180 --> 00:18:27,380 provide some time, save money or just got fired and sing for 318 00:18:27,630 --> 00:18:30,810 new affordable housing developments. And then lastly 319 00:18:30,820 --> 00:18:34,660 wanted to also highlight the benefit of having impact fee 320 00:18:34,670 --> 00:18:38,220 waivers as being part of moving that needle for affordable 321 00:18:38,230 --> 00:18:43,160 housing. So the impact of 11.5 million under that category, 322 00:18:43,940 --> 00:18:46,770 I would dare say, looking throughout the entire state or 323 00:18:46,780 --> 00:18:51,270 the country, it would be hard to find an example of an agency 324 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,700 that's been so committed in supporting affordable housing. 325 00:18:54,710 --> 00:18:58,100 And it's been quite a success for us to be able to move from 326 00:18:58,110 --> 00:19:01,270 not just the grown breaking, but no, we're actually having 327 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,620 ribbon cuttings, so excited to see that happening. So I 328 00:19:04,630 --> 00:19:07,830 applaud our Housing Committee development team and to lessen 329 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,710 the team for the stellar work that's been done and affordable 330 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:11,470 housing front, 331 00:19:13,180 --> 00:19:16,050 even though the cdbg Dr Funds are not built within our 332 00:19:16,060 --> 00:19:18,510 general fund. I want to highlight because it's such a 333 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,560 significant source of funding for our community. We've been 334 00:19:22,570 --> 00:19:25,650 able to leverage those federal funds for resilience and 335 00:19:25,660 --> 00:19:29,820 mitigation efforts hurricane and how the border recall that 336 00:19:29,830 --> 00:19:33,400 we received 219 million from the federal government and then 337 00:19:33,410 --> 00:19:38,520 an additional 33 million in Milton funds to date. Just as 338 00:19:38,530 --> 00:19:43,200 an update for the public, we've been able to secure over 400 339 00:19:43,210 --> 00:19:47,850 applications for the end. And that's over 50 for Milton 340 00:19:48,140 --> 00:19:51,310 in terms of folks are cresting dollars for hurricane 341 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,390 mitigation or repair of their properties from that is that we 342 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,330 have approximately 85 projects that are currently under 343 00:19:58,340 --> 00:19:59,070 construction. 344 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,590 And again, just to share some highlights from hold. Those 345 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,230 funds are going to be utilized. So we have the body broke flood 346 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,110 mitigation, infrastructure projects as a new pump station 347 00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:15,430 to she's drainage capacity. The public works Department is 348 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,740 going to be spearheading that that the coalition for the 349 00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:20,430 homeless, the not for profit, that some of the public 350 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,770 facilities category that allows for expansion of shelter 351 00:20:23,780 --> 00:20:28,110 capacity to restore bridge housing. Then we have the road 352 00:20:28,120 --> 00:20:31,760 for Parkway, drainage improvement initiative and that 353 00:20:31,770 --> 00:20:34,590 stuff, great culverts to improve stormwater flow 354 00:20:34,870 --> 00:20:37,780 to live in a drainage bottlenecks and then state of 355 00:20:37,790 --> 00:20:40,940 Hope. Lee Gardens that to housing rehab project to 356 00:20:40,950 --> 00:20:44,770 restore affordable housing for veterans and low-income 357 00:20:44,780 --> 00:20:45,640 residents 358 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,340 in the area of innovation. Like I mentioned before, 359 00:20:50,350 --> 00:20:54,620 it is one of our top 5 priorities within pens that 360 00:20:54,630 --> 00:20:58,990 allows us to be able to enhance service delivery, highlight the 361 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,100 building safety division in particular. Unbelievable what 362 00:21:03,110 --> 00:21:07,530 these are real numbers we receive over 2000 phone calls 363 00:21:07,540 --> 00:21:08,230 each week, 364 00:21:09,110 --> 00:21:12,580 very high number of calls coming in. The call. Volume has 365 00:21:12,590 --> 00:21:16,780 been excess of over the years. The response has been to hire 366 00:21:16,790 --> 00:21:19,970 staff to be able to meet the needs of that growing demand. 367 00:21:20,500 --> 00:21:23,230 But we recognize that through that announcement of AI 368 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,830 technology, there was an ability to be able to integrate 369 00:21:27,190 --> 00:21:31,390 AI systems with our phone system to provide automated 370 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,010 services, not just audited services, but in over 40 371 00:21:35,020 --> 00:21:39,580 languages. 24 hours a day, we've been able to train the 372 00:21:39,590 --> 00:21:43,520 bot to a partnership that we've forged to with AI company that 373 00:21:43,530 --> 00:21:46,620 the Bucs able to know provide inspection information on 374 00:21:46,630 --> 00:21:47,820 information from 375 00:21:48,570 --> 00:21:52,090 colds, information about services or the status of 376 00:21:52,100 --> 00:21:55,760 someone's permit. We've seen a drop in those calls as a result 377 00:21:55,770 --> 00:21:59,660 of being able to utilize that AI technology and augment that 378 00:21:59,670 --> 00:22:03,520 with or customer service efforts, success there that 379 00:22:03,530 --> 00:22:06,780 we've seen of the last 3 months will continue to push forward 380 00:22:06,790 --> 00:22:08,960 with the training of that bought to make sure that we're 381 00:22:08,970 --> 00:22:13,040 able to scale and grow as demand increases for customer 382 00:22:13,050 --> 00:22:17,100 service assistance, rebuilding safety, engage orange to has 383 00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:21,370 been highly successful pod for for us. It's interactive. 384 00:22:21,380 --> 00:22:23,970 It's not just a static Web site. Know we've created a 385 00:22:23,980 --> 00:22:27,270 space where the public contract, both the programs and 386 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,820 projects that are being pushed and funnel through pets. 387 00:22:31,190 --> 00:22:34,560 White's interactive is you can leave questions. You can leave 388 00:22:34,570 --> 00:22:38,790 comments you can interact with Steph through that space and 389 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,250 how timely information and updates. That's something that 390 00:22:41,260 --> 00:22:44,520 we heard a lot in the surveys as well where the public says 391 00:22:44,530 --> 00:22:47,400 we're not hearing enough from kids in terms of the resources 392 00:22:47,410 --> 00:22:50,490 that you have to offer. We're not understanding some of the 393 00:22:50,500 --> 00:22:54,440 programs of the projects that you have. So we heard our 394 00:22:54,450 --> 00:22:58,610 response was to creates that interactive online platform and 395 00:22:58,620 --> 00:23:01,220 that's been it's successful. We continue to look for the 396 00:23:01,230 --> 00:23:03,840 partnership of the mayor and commissioners and pushing that 397 00:23:03,850 --> 00:23:06,860 information out to the constituents. So they know that 398 00:23:06,870 --> 00:23:10,960 resource is available on the automation side as well. 399 00:23:10,970 --> 00:23:14,310 Looking for greater process improvement and access are 400 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,240 working through the assist him with our code compliance team 401 00:23:18,250 --> 00:23:20,380 to provide that timely information for a court 402 00:23:20,390 --> 00:23:23,380 officers as they're in the field, are now able to access 403 00:23:23,620 --> 00:23:26,640 permitting information, are able to connect with the home 404 00:23:26,650 --> 00:23:29,460 base and get real-time information as they're out 405 00:23:29,470 --> 00:23:31,820 there. So that's under construction and should be 406 00:23:31,830 --> 00:23:36,020 coming to a neighborhood near you as of this fall on the DRC 407 00:23:36,030 --> 00:23:39,420 side to hearing a lot of comments there about the need 408 00:23:39,430 --> 00:23:42,420 for process improvement and more time, the coordination 409 00:23:42,430 --> 00:23:45,980 between the left and the right hand. So there's LV a mess 410 00:23:45,990 --> 00:23:49,730 improvements that are being made to our Dear C team as well 411 00:23:49,740 --> 00:23:53,050 and very happy for the willingness of the staff to 412 00:23:53,060 --> 00:23:56,610 step up and be challenged to integrate that technological 413 00:23:56,620 --> 00:23:58,120 advancement with the work that week. 414 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:05,080 So this is for me, the slide that I called the celebrations 415 00:24:05,090 --> 00:24:08,460 slide. This is where you're able to shake your morale 416 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,810 for the Green plays program. This board back in 2022. 417 00:24:13,820 --> 00:24:17,370 Allocated over 100 million dollars towards the 418 00:24:17,380 --> 00:24:21,540 conservation and protection of sensitive lines. To date over 419 00:24:21,550 --> 00:24:25,900 81 million has been expended. That's 54 parcels preserved in 420 00:24:25,910 --> 00:24:31,940 Orange County over 3,000, 400 acres of sensitive lined being 421 00:24:31,950 --> 00:24:35,300 protected to this program. We have 18 million that's 422 00:24:35,310 --> 00:24:39,040 pending acquisition. And I believe this past Tuesday, 423 00:24:39,290 --> 00:24:43,600 we had one parcel that was approved by this board to move 424 00:24:43,610 --> 00:24:46,790 forward for acquisitions. So when all of this is 425 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,760 completed, we would have extended every single dollar in 426 00:24:50,770 --> 00:24:53,940 the green phase program. I think that is worthy of 427 00:24:53,950 --> 00:24:58,130 celebrating. I'm really happy for the commitment of the team 428 00:24:58,140 --> 00:25:00,860 and how they've been able to push forward with this 429 00:25:00,870 --> 00:25:05,370 initiative over 4,000 acres. At the end of the last dollar 430 00:25:05,380 --> 00:25:09,050 being spent would have been protected in Orange County is 431 00:25:09,060 --> 00:25:11,950 something that I think is a bragging right for orange, 432 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,980 Tony, and something that I applaud this board for for 433 00:25:14,990 --> 00:25:18,600 having the foresight to see the need to invest these dollars in 434 00:25:18,610 --> 00:25:20,030 the Green plays program. 435 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,540 So moving on also or capital improvement program, 436 00:25:28,250 --> 00:25:31,280 much of what you'll see in the capital improvement side. 437 00:25:31,290 --> 00:25:34,760 A total of 13 million hot and dedicated for capital 438 00:25:34,770 --> 00:25:39,040 improvement are projected for this that you're 27. Much of 439 00:25:39,050 --> 00:25:43,260 what you'll see is mainly in the ear of water. Quality 440 00:25:43,270 --> 00:25:48,140 improvement probably over 80% of the budget in this section 441 00:25:48,150 --> 00:25:51,340 is on the water quality improvement. And then a small 442 00:25:51,350 --> 00:25:56,140 portion for I tried series signage upgrade. 443 00:25:57,250 --> 00:26:01,760 So looking at fiscal year, 27 under the Capital Improvement 444 00:26:01,770 --> 00:26:07,040 program, we have 5.8 million for the little Wekiva storm 445 00:26:07,050 --> 00:26:10,960 treatment area and that's in district 2. This includes our 446 00:26:10,970 --> 00:26:14,560 treatment train consisting of a pump station and live as part 447 00:26:14,570 --> 00:26:17,280 of the rivers flow into sedimentation Basin. 448 00:26:17,940 --> 00:26:21,490 The project is expected to remove nitrates and phosphates 449 00:26:21,500 --> 00:26:24,650 which are pollutants of concern over Kyra Springs on Rock 450 00:26:24,660 --> 00:26:27,320 Springs Run Basin Management action plans. 451 00:26:28,060 --> 00:26:32,010 We also have 4.7 million for water sciences, design and 452 00:26:32,020 --> 00:26:35,450 construction. There's a total of 10 projects that will be 453 00:26:35,460 --> 00:26:38,130 highlighting later in the presentation 454 00:26:38,710 --> 00:26:42,370 that we have 2.3 million for a conservation trust fund, 455 00:26:42,380 --> 00:26:45,280 the land management activities. This includes land management 456 00:26:45,290 --> 00:26:48,970 to this such as mowing prescribed burns, invasive 457 00:26:48,980 --> 00:26:51,910 vegetation and remove all. 458 00:26:52,540 --> 00:26:57,250 Then we have 750,000 for Green Bay's property enhancements we 459 00:26:57,260 --> 00:27:00,280 mentioned before about those acquisitions. So we have money 460 00:27:00,290 --> 00:27:02,730 budgeted for enhancements of those properties that have 461 00:27:02,740 --> 00:27:05,670 already been acquired and protected. This includes 2 462 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:10,010 projects for trailheads along for pedestrian bridge. And then 463 00:27:10,020 --> 00:27:13,820 last them mentioned about the i-drive illumination signage. 464 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,920 This is needed for easement related cause for 31 signs. 465 00:27:17,930 --> 00:27:21,840 And this includes recording fees title search reports, 466 00:27:21,850 --> 00:27:24,060 legal descriptions and sketches. 467 00:27:25,830 --> 00:27:29,260 So stepping into each of the projects that to give a little 468 00:27:29,270 --> 00:27:32,220 bit more detail on that. That 5.8 million for little a 469 00:27:32,230 --> 00:27:36,410 Kailua. Just a trim and should be for this is cash flowed from 470 00:27:36,420 --> 00:27:40,860 the prior year. Total of 3.5 million total project cost. 471 00:27:40,870 --> 00:27:44,260 There is 10.8 million. And again, it's for water, quality 472 00:27:44,270 --> 00:27:47,240 improvement and Wekiva Springs in Rock Springs. 473 00:27:48,490 --> 00:27:51,690 So sharing know under the water signs category, 474 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,130 mentioned before that there's been quite a and this is 475 00:27:56,140 --> 00:28:00,320 through the capital improvement program on water improvements, 476 00:28:00,430 --> 00:28:03,730 nitrate reduction as Fossett reduction. So we have a total 477 00:28:03,740 --> 00:28:07,590 of 10 projects you'll see listed there. The first 3 478 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,550 include newly funded and pending projects that are 479 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:11,740 already underway. 480 00:28:12,250 --> 00:28:16,090 That will be moving forward for completion in fiscal year 27. 481 00:28:16,740 --> 00:28:19,300 And then the remaining 7 projects include approve 482 00:28:19,310 --> 00:28:22,590 projects that are Castro from prior years. 483 00:28:27,900 --> 00:28:34,030 Stepping in now to our roots and feet updates. This is one 484 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,480 of the requests that we receive from leadership in looking at 485 00:28:37,490 --> 00:28:42,270 the fees throw heads. The first one is the building safety 486 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,940 division fees. This is really to meet a state requirement to 487 00:28:45,950 --> 00:28:48,520 make sure that we're maintaining a healthy fund 488 00:28:48,530 --> 00:28:52,460 balance. Now it's time to require and there which 489 00:28:52,470 --> 00:28:56,320 certainly influenced us in making sure that we are 490 00:28:56,330 --> 00:29:01,350 readjusting the fees to fiscal year 2022 levels. So you'll see 491 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:06,770 fee adjustments in residential permitting commercial, also an 492 00:29:06,780 --> 00:29:10,900 electrical. And then you'll also see fee adjustments there 493 00:29:10,910 --> 00:29:15,060 in re inspection fees. And again, these are fees that we 494 00:29:15,070 --> 00:29:19,830 had and we're reverting back to from fiscal year 2022. to make 495 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,100 sure that we're maintaining the fund balance to this one. 496 00:29:22,110 --> 00:29:25,590 It's influenced by first at a dairy requirements 497 00:29:27,090 --> 00:29:31,970 sharing also updates that are being proposed to the zoning 498 00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:36,410 fees in critical facts on this one is that the fees have been 499 00:29:36,420 --> 00:29:37,730 adjusted since 500 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:43,900 2014. So quite antiquated and outdated in terms of the fees 501 00:29:43,910 --> 00:29:48,890 that we have there for the first for fees. These are 502 00:29:48,900 --> 00:29:52,650 existing fees that are being recommended for increase. 503 00:29:52,660 --> 00:29:55,970 You'll see this on the special exception fees owning stresses 504 00:29:55,980 --> 00:30:00,370 some communication tower fee. The bza we advertise in feet so 505 00:30:00,380 --> 00:30:02,790 Uber and see how those are existing fees that are being 506 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,420 proposed for increase 507 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,360 and then the remaining 4, these are new fees that are being 508 00:30:09,370 --> 00:30:13,080 introduced. And again, the intent here is for cost 509 00:30:13,090 --> 00:30:16,760 recovery the time that it takes to review the fees, what's 510 00:30:16,770 --> 00:30:20,340 required in terms of recouping those costs is what we're 511 00:30:20,350 --> 00:30:23,660 introducing here for a fee updates. 512 00:30:25,010 --> 00:30:30,530 And then lastly, in terms of field days, also introducing 513 00:30:30,540 --> 00:30:35,930 the fees from APD. You see that the first 60's terms of the 514 00:30:35,940 --> 00:30:39,280 Lake Shore Protection permit, both talk construction permit 515 00:30:39,660 --> 00:30:43,180 chile, alteration hardening shoreline, alteration dredging, 516 00:30:43,580 --> 00:30:47,580 but Rahm permit private boat ramp permits semi private. 517 00:30:48,020 --> 00:30:51,230 Those are existing fees that are being recommended for 518 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,950 increase. And then we have new fees under the minor 519 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,990 modification. The boat construction setback waiver but 520 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,330 not construction setback waiver. First one is I mean, 521 00:31:02,340 --> 00:31:05,870 it's traded second. One is public hearing this, too, 522 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:10,060 is a few that hasn't been updated these fees since 2014. 523 00:31:10,370 --> 00:31:13,380 I'm quite outdated, not in lockstep with what the 524 00:31:13,390 --> 00:31:18,440 industry, the requirements are for these types of reviews, 525 00:31:18,450 --> 00:31:20,680 some of these things. Unfortunately, our reviews that 526 00:31:20,690 --> 00:31:24,000 were being done pro bono without costs, recovery being 527 00:31:24,010 --> 00:31:27,960 built in the proposal that we're introducing for this one 528 00:31:27,970 --> 00:31:33,290 in particular, the Epd is a 50% introduction of the new fees. 529 00:31:33,300 --> 00:31:36,340 And then the remaining 50% would be introduced in fiscal 530 00:31:36,350 --> 00:31:41,680 year. 28. So this one is a 50% recommendation on those DPD 531 00:31:41,690 --> 00:31:42,190 fees. 532 00:31:46,470 --> 00:31:47,880 So for the slide, I will 533 00:31:48,380 --> 00:31:50,900 or the mayor and commission in reading it again, because I 534 00:31:50,910 --> 00:31:55,010 think every department has already introduced the 535 00:31:55,020 --> 00:31:57,900 narrative as to why we're going to be talking about the 536 00:31:57,910 --> 00:32:02,070 potential risk with the threat of the property tax reduction 537 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,550 and what it could mean to art pads services. I mentioned 538 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:10,260 before with intent and the first slide to that heads is a 539 00:32:10,270 --> 00:32:14,970 conduit that carries the funds that are possible funds from 540 00:32:14,980 --> 00:32:18,320 either the federal government, the state or local sources. 541 00:32:18,810 --> 00:32:22,640 And we finally got back to the public for public services. 542 00:32:22,660 --> 00:32:26,150 That was the intent. Because here on this slide, you can 543 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:30,210 feel the magnitude of what could happen to me lose those 544 00:32:30,220 --> 00:32:34,090 funds and the detriment or adverse impacts. It could have 545 00:32:34,100 --> 00:32:37,580 on the services the quality of life to safety and security 546 00:32:37,790 --> 00:32:41,600 overcoming it is on a residence on affordable housing side. 547 00:32:41,610 --> 00:32:45,780 We anticipate that no resulting ensure affordable housing units 548 00:32:45,790 --> 00:32:49,130 being constructed are preserved. It may reduce 549 00:32:49,140 --> 00:32:51,160 housing choices. You know, folks 550 00:32:51,740 --> 00:32:54,630 that don't have the means and the resources to be able to 551 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,400 secure housing, whether it's rent holder on occupied in 552 00:32:57,410 --> 00:33:01,610 Orange County is got funds that we provide help to put a roof 553 00:33:01,620 --> 00:33:05,170 over money over families, heads it that then cease to exist to 554 00:33:05,180 --> 00:33:07,160 the housing trust funds or other means. 555 00:33:07,850 --> 00:33:09,910 This could be a matter of 556 00:33:10,250 --> 00:33:13,970 not just hosing security with the choice of jobs that people 557 00:33:13,980 --> 00:33:17,460 select and where they live does drive the types of jobs that 558 00:33:17,470 --> 00:33:20,840 you select, what you're able to do to provide for your family. 559 00:33:20,850 --> 00:33:23,620 So we wanted to highlight here in terms of affordable housing 560 00:33:23,940 --> 00:33:27,490 impact. We do have a charter amendment that required that we 561 00:33:27,500 --> 00:33:30,860 keep the housing trust fund in place in perpetuity. We just 562 00:33:30,870 --> 00:33:34,820 would not be able to fully comply with that in a world 563 00:33:34,830 --> 00:33:39,570 where these funds would be reduced or significantly pulled 564 00:33:39,580 --> 00:33:42,670 away from these program merits a new development services. 565 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,960 We anticipate that there would be the maid service delivery 566 00:33:45,970 --> 00:33:49,340 increase in delays and residential and commercial and 567 00:33:49,350 --> 00:33:52,630 residential commercial times review. There would probably be 568 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:57,480 a backlog in that review area and a customer support and 569 00:33:57,490 --> 00:34:01,900 would reduce stuffing. It would result in longer response times 570 00:34:01,910 --> 00:34:05,400 safety concerns due to delayed inspections. 571 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,570 There's a health safety and welfare requirement. I mean, 572 00:34:09,580 --> 00:34:12,800 the work that we do in the building safety side, not being 573 00:34:12,810 --> 00:34:16,580 able to expeditiously move and respond to some of the 574 00:34:16,590 --> 00:34:20,100 inspection requests or needs could be a threat to the safety 575 00:34:20,110 --> 00:34:23,940 and security of our residents, a neighborhood grants area. 576 00:34:23,950 --> 00:34:27,660 We provide beautification ground sustainability grounds, 577 00:34:27,670 --> 00:34:31,380 things that in Homs and bring added value and quality to our 578 00:34:31,390 --> 00:34:34,860 neighborhoods with a reduction in these funds. We do expect to 579 00:34:34,870 --> 00:34:36,530 see increasing blight 580 00:34:37,370 --> 00:34:40,510 reduction in property values if you're not enhancing the curb. 581 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,780 Appeal of the extent of the notable impacts, the quality of 582 00:34:43,790 --> 00:34:46,750 life, diminishing of the overall appearance of our 583 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,520 neighborhoods, more money is going to the neighborhood 584 00:34:49,530 --> 00:34:53,020 improvement district in Pine Hills and other areas not being 585 00:34:53,030 --> 00:34:55,940 able to provide that service. We think we'll have a physical 586 00:34:56,620 --> 00:34:58,700 notable difference in our communities 587 00:34:59,430 --> 00:35:02,970 or directive initiatives all throughout the year. We're 588 00:35:02,980 --> 00:35:06,530 receiving directives from the mayor and commissioners. 589 00:35:06,540 --> 00:35:09,930 You know, whether it's related to the tobacco ordinance or 590 00:35:09,940 --> 00:35:13,390 things related to the homeless services, whatever it is, 591 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,710 we get our directives from you and we turned those things are 592 00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:20,100 on expeditiously with reduction in staff thing. There would be 593 00:35:20,110 --> 00:35:20,720 a delay 594 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,580 or the inability to be able to carry out some of the 595 00:35:23,590 --> 00:35:25,230 directives from this body 596 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,990 and by rental services side, the environmental issues that 597 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,450 are not addressed in a timely fashion, there could be 598 00:35:33,460 --> 00:35:36,840 implications, their regulatory implications, health 599 00:35:36,850 --> 00:35:40,850 implications, the issues with pollution. These are things 600 00:35:40,860 --> 00:35:43,300 that our team is not responsible for and provides 601 00:35:43,310 --> 00:35:46,120 oversight drilling down a little bit deeper. 602 00:35:47,100 --> 00:35:50,570 Some of these state mandates are unfunded mandates. So 603 00:35:50,930 --> 00:35:54,810 looking at a total maximum daily load, the risk that we 604 00:35:54,820 --> 00:35:58,740 anticipate there and meeting a regulatory requirements, 605 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,870 national pollutant discharge elimination System, PDS. 606 00:36:02,950 --> 00:36:06,420 These are requirements that we have the state level cold 607 00:36:06,430 --> 00:36:09,140 updates that were required to be able to come highway. 608 00:36:09,610 --> 00:36:13,220 The inability to do this prevents presents a risk 609 00:36:13,420 --> 00:36:16,360 meeting our requirements lower response times for permit 610 00:36:16,370 --> 00:36:19,410 compliance activities and inspections. We're just 611 00:36:19,420 --> 00:36:22,660 creating delays in investigations and resolutions 612 00:36:22,670 --> 00:36:24,810 of citizens, environmental complaints. 613 00:36:25,090 --> 00:36:27,680 They would have to be a scaling back of public education and 614 00:36:27,690 --> 00:36:31,600 outreach programs. Risti municipal separate storm, 615 00:36:31,610 --> 00:36:33,390 water, sewage system 616 00:36:34,310 --> 00:36:37,770 reduction in the protection of our lakes and rivers in our 617 00:36:37,780 --> 00:36:40,230 wetlands and our groundwater resources. These are real 618 00:36:40,240 --> 00:36:44,150 threats. These are not things were making. That stop is 619 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,740 presenting to you the areas that we have oversight of what 620 00:36:47,750 --> 00:36:50,990 could happen in a world where there's a reduction or 621 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:55,260 elimination of the funds that I recall to satisfy these areas 622 00:36:55,270 --> 00:36:58,780 of need there to effects on the environment and our residents 623 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,140 increasing elicit pollutant discharges. But this isn't 624 00:37:02,150 --> 00:37:06,860 residents increase unauthorized shoreline, clearing illegal dot 625 00:37:06,870 --> 00:37:10,720 construction and open burning activity. We anticipate an 626 00:37:10,730 --> 00:37:14,170 increase in impairments over waterways, adversely impacting 627 00:37:14,180 --> 00:37:18,680 our ecosystem, our pets, human life and the local economy 628 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,790 reductions. The residents ability for recreation and open 629 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:27,750 space. It is the big appeal for orange cones and a central 630 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,210 Florida Aires. The natural means and the inability to be 631 00:37:31,220 --> 00:37:34,590 able to protect and preserve what I think is our competitive 632 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:39,920 advantage puts us in a very precarious place. 633 00:37:42,220 --> 00:37:45,170 So lastly wrapping up with their summary. What you heard 634 00:37:45,180 --> 00:37:50,390 today for the fiscal year, 27 budget heads has a proposed 635 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,150 budget of 256.0. 1 million that's broken on the team. 636 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:58,780 Personal services. 69 million in operating for 189 Million. 637 00:37:59,510 --> 00:38:02,740 We are here to celebrate with you. Some exciting things with 638 00:38:02,750 --> 00:38:06,320 the Orange Tree loves campaign. The Business Resource Office 639 00:38:06,330 --> 00:38:09,550 that says we're open for business is affordable housing 640 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:13,490 investments that were so happy we're able to provide to our 641 00:38:13,500 --> 00:38:16,840 public to provide that level of security and quality of life. 642 00:38:17,470 --> 00:38:21,010 And then 13.9 men. And that was mentioned for water, quality 643 00:38:21,020 --> 00:38:24,620 improvements in the capital improvement for conservation. 644 00:38:24,630 --> 00:38:27,830 Also mention that series signage improvement. Then the 645 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,870 fee updates for that cost recovery costs, recovery 646 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,820 improvements for the work that's done. And those 3 heirs 647 00:38:33,830 --> 00:38:38,190 of building also looking at what's being proposing, the 648 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,930 environmental protection and also in zoning. And then lastly 649 00:38:41,940 --> 00:38:44,630 has shared with all the other departments, the sharing very 650 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,190 kindly, some of our future funding challenges and the 651 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,400 implications associated with a world where would see a 652 00:38:51,410 --> 00:38:55,290 reduction in our funding and that mayor and commissioners 653 00:38:55,300 --> 00:38:57,890 come to my presentation for Pence. Thank you. 654 00:38:59,690 --> 00:39:04,370 >> All right. A great job with that. We'll open it up for 655 00:39:04,380 --> 00:39:08,730 conversation by questions from members of the board. We'll 656 00:39:08,740 --> 00:39:11,330 start with Commissioner Wilson followed by Commissioner 657 00:39:11,340 --> 00:39:11,980 Summer. 658 00:39:13,270 --> 00:39:15,710 >> Thank you so much. I am incredibly grateful for the 659 00:39:15,720 --> 00:39:20,870 work that you have. I mean, top down year, the teams that are 660 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,790 in front of us today, but many, many people behind the scenes 661 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,360 are actually out in neighborhoods today that are 662 00:39:27,370 --> 00:39:33,620 making sure that our lakes are being clean and that our 663 00:39:33,630 --> 00:39:36,290 neighborhoods are safe. I just I feel really strongly about 664 00:39:36,300 --> 00:39:38,730 the invisible 665 00:39:39,260 --> 00:39:42,680 I would say success of a lot of the pets programs that have 666 00:39:42,690 --> 00:39:45,670 ramped up or been implemented for the first time over these 667 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:50,740 last few years. I will also say that we talk very early on in 668 00:39:50,750 --> 00:39:53,730 my tenure about making sure that each of the divisions and 669 00:39:53,740 --> 00:39:56,380 parties have the opportunity to directly communicate with the 670 00:39:56,390 --> 00:39:57,040 public 671 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:01,490 and I believe had just made the best use of that additional 672 00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:03,440 resource and advocacy 673 00:40:03,930 --> 00:40:07,080 on part of the sport. I think the engage 674 00:40:07,860 --> 00:40:11,290 website, the ability for people to directly interact. It is 675 00:40:11,300 --> 00:40:14,010 amazing. I've been trying really hard for motive. I will 676 00:40:14,020 --> 00:40:14,400 say 677 00:40:16,690 --> 00:40:19,130 I got some of the feedback about a case that was coming 678 00:40:19,140 --> 00:40:21,710 through from some of the residents. Incredible right 679 00:40:21,720 --> 00:40:25,410 came directly off that through my office. So it's not just 680 00:40:25,420 --> 00:40:28,850 external communication, also internal communication with my 681 00:40:28,860 --> 00:40:32,260 office. So thank you so much for that. If it's a case is 682 00:40:32,270 --> 00:40:34,160 coming to the whole board, can I request that that 683 00:40:34,170 --> 00:40:37,530 communication not just come to the commissioner whose case the 684 00:40:37,540 --> 00:40:41,340 district it's in. I think there was some examples on Tuesday of 685 00:40:41,350 --> 00:40:46,320 cases that feedback was given about a potential development 686 00:40:46,330 --> 00:40:50,400 project and rightfully the feedback him directly to my 687 00:40:50,410 --> 00:40:52,880 office, which is amazing. But if they didn't, I think 688 00:40:52,890 --> 00:40:56,150 send it to the entire board. It may not have necessarily 689 00:40:56,890 --> 00:40:57,670 then. 690 00:40:58,950 --> 00:41:01,040 And I don't get to talk down the line and tell them because 691 00:41:01,050 --> 00:41:05,170 of sunshine. So just to have that overall, I think awareness 692 00:41:05,180 --> 00:41:09,860 of the impact of projects, the fee updates long overdue and 693 00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:14,840 much-needed. I think to the point of what I'm concerned 694 00:41:14,850 --> 00:41:18,850 about in our public pork sector with the storm, water fees and 695 00:41:18,860 --> 00:41:22,870 I want to thank epd for working so closely with them on that 696 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,480 research that we have the information we know the fee is 697 00:41:25,490 --> 00:41:27,340 needed. And 698 00:41:27,940 --> 00:41:30,650 so we're going to have to work around some of that shortfall 699 00:41:30,660 --> 00:41:34,520 until we figure that out. But these fees make the most 700 00:41:34,530 --> 00:41:38,760 sense because they also incentivize following our code 701 00:41:38,770 --> 00:41:41,190 following our comprehensive plan, which we've also worked 702 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:45,100 very hard to do race. If you're going to come in with 12, 703 00:41:45,110 --> 00:41:48,990 very its requests wave, then then just know it's going to be 704 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,050 cheaper. If you just look at the reason why that was put 705 00:41:51,060 --> 00:41:53,360 into the comprehensive plan, there was a reason there was an 706 00:41:53,370 --> 00:41:56,600 overall reason, I think is a lot of pressure to work around 707 00:41:56,610 --> 00:42:01,910 those those plants. And in just the whole line is hard for you 708 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,650 all. I know that. But we support that. That's a plan 709 00:42:04,660 --> 00:42:06,140 that was put into place by the sport. 710 00:42:06,850 --> 00:42:10,270 So I'm I'm grateful for that. I do want to ask a question 711 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,380 about the decrease in staffing for building safety. 712 00:42:15,590 --> 00:42:18,510 Obviously, there's a lot of concern about building safety. 713 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,890 There continues to be conversations specifically 714 00:42:21,900 --> 00:42:25,030 district. One concerning a of a relatively new building was 715 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:29,540 built in 2014 that had to be evacuated due to safety 716 00:42:29,550 --> 00:42:32,620 concerns. Structural safety concerns. Our building safety 717 00:42:32,630 --> 00:42:36,490 people or they're out know the night trying to make sure they 718 00:42:36,500 --> 00:42:38,490 were getting all the information and doing that work 719 00:42:38,500 --> 00:42:41,930 into hearing that there's going to be a decrease kind of had a 720 00:42:41,940 --> 00:42:45,530 visceral out of this response to that. And then also in your 721 00:42:45,540 --> 00:42:49,850 code officers, they are they're doing hard work. They're out. 722 00:42:49,860 --> 00:42:52,070 They're up against what I would say are some of the most 723 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:56,570 difficult day-to-day challenges in need the most support. 724 00:42:56,580 --> 00:42:59,720 So have a follow-up question for them. After the first one, 725 00:43:00,730 --> 00:43:03,680 the first was about the building safety reduction in 726 00:43:03,690 --> 00:43:05,060 staffing her. 727 00:43:05,420 --> 00:43:08,600 >> So that's something that certainly we talked about 728 00:43:08,610 --> 00:43:12,670 internally with Allen plan in terms of the stuffing, making 729 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:16,330 sure that it was sufficient for the needs of the community. 730 00:43:16,340 --> 00:43:20,560 And as I mentioned in the presentation with epic being a 731 00:43:20,570 --> 00:43:25,400 very large project with rapid timelines and very hard time 732 00:43:25,410 --> 00:43:28,870 lines, we needed to scale up to be able to meet the needs of 733 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,480 that project. So with it now being completed, we're really 734 00:43:31,490 --> 00:43:34,590 going back to what we were that was that those are dedicated 735 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:38,970 staff. Yes, it's a readjustment is what it is. So it's plans 736 00:43:38,980 --> 00:43:43,060 examiner building inspectors, largest portion of that. 737 00:43:43,690 --> 00:43:46,850 But we certainly do have the right number of stuffing here 738 00:43:46,860 --> 00:43:50,370 in place to be able to meet the needs of Orange County 739 00:43:50,380 --> 00:43:50,880 community. 740 00:43:51,940 --> 00:43:53,800 >> That's coming there to do. 741 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,910 >> That seems to just pointing out that that is in the 742 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,470 process. So it is driven directly by the amount of that, 743 00:43:59,570 --> 00:44:03,900 Kitty. So that to the current decreases the revenue to 744 00:44:03,910 --> 00:44:04,670 support 745 00:44:05,130 --> 00:44:08,340 decreases as well. So that's the fine balancing act that 746 00:44:08,350 --> 00:44:13,100 they must manage all the time to ensure that that revenue 747 00:44:13,110 --> 00:44:16,860 source is supporting the folks and that work. And that's by. 748 00:44:16,870 --> 00:44:21,810 That's one of the areas that the fees specifically are 749 00:44:21,820 --> 00:44:25,510 designed to address that cost. Yes, this is not supported by 750 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:26,040 the fund. 751 00:44:26,460 --> 00:44:29,100 >> Yes, the center for us. And that's that building safety 752 00:44:29,110 --> 00:44:32,460 component specifically give her money. Okay. And then so 753 00:44:32,470 --> 00:44:36,100 distinctly from that will move into just some what I would 754 00:44:36,110 --> 00:44:40,210 want to know about supporting our code enforcement. Again, 755 00:44:40,220 --> 00:44:42,840 I just my heart is with that entire. They are out there 756 00:44:42,850 --> 00:44:46,830 doing the hard work. But oftentimes when things go 757 00:44:47,240 --> 00:44:49,850 a medicine that I think, you know, there's been 758 00:44:50,820 --> 00:44:53,830 recently some some cases where things were being 759 00:44:55,230 --> 00:44:57,690 warehouses. We use for things that shouldn't be 760 00:44:58,900 --> 00:45:02,750 we can't be everywhere at once. And how are we trying to make 761 00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:06,770 sure that there is some empowerment on behalf of that 762 00:45:07,140 --> 00:45:11,700 of those those staff members to be able to potentially 763 00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,720 without there having this tragedy on the side. Right. 764 00:45:15,730 --> 00:45:17,920 I think about what happened with the fireworks stores. 765 00:45:17,930 --> 00:45:20,090 I think about what's happened with this law 766 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:26,610 slaughter. All right. Where had there been the potential for 767 00:45:26,620 --> 00:45:28,740 more oversight? We would have 768 00:45:29,030 --> 00:45:32,040 unable to prevent a potential tragedy. And I don't know if 769 00:45:32,050 --> 00:45:32,710 there's no. 770 00:45:33,250 --> 00:45:33,910 Yeah, yeah. 771 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:39,030 >> Yes, summer is a little bit unique. That's good. Because 772 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:42,900 the facility wasn't in Orange County either will know the 773 00:45:42,910 --> 00:45:46,110 retail or that the storefront was it. So some of the word 774 00:45:46,130 --> 00:45:48,740 speeds. Yes, so I'll see. 775 00:45:49,700 --> 00:45:54,280 Code enforcement is a chimes area within neighborhood 776 00:45:54,290 --> 00:45:58,000 services. I'd consider them. The unsung heroes are safe is 777 00:45:58,010 --> 00:46:02,790 the vicious dog 0 here in the heat of the moment. So they're 778 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:06,370 doing the best with the limited stuffing that they have. 779 00:46:06,950 --> 00:46:10,750 We have a lot of trainings that are offered to that team to 780 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:11,550 make sure 781 00:46:12,610 --> 00:46:15,200 our folks are skilled and ready to be able to meet the 782 00:46:15,210 --> 00:46:17,140 challenge and demands that they face out there in the 783 00:46:17,150 --> 00:46:20,950 community. We do have our new manager here, Brenda Jaggers 784 00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,830 that comes with a very heavy layer of zoning expertise. 785 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,850 And I think that's been such a great addition for that team. 786 00:46:27,860 --> 00:46:30,920 They're really enforcing our regulations and we have someone 787 00:46:30,930 --> 00:46:34,860 that is quite first in the county's regulations and 788 00:46:34,870 --> 00:46:38,260 zoning. So expert, he says they're on the staff. Trainings 789 00:46:38,270 --> 00:46:41,630 have been around top. So certainly we continue to 790 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,390 operate. I think I'm a successful level. How can we do 791 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,370 more? Yes, which is why as mentioned with Lda miss, 792 00:46:47,380 --> 00:46:50,020 there's a lot more that we're doing on the technology side to 793 00:46:50,030 --> 00:46:53,200 upgrade that ability for the cause. Officers to have 794 00:46:53,210 --> 00:46:56,420 accessed or permitting citizens get somewhat of a disconnect, 795 00:46:56,430 --> 00:46:58,900 right, know that when they're in the field, they're blinded 796 00:46:58,910 --> 00:47:01,780 their night, seen what the folks at home Central are 797 00:47:01,790 --> 00:47:05,070 seeing. So I think that the best response in terms of 798 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,770 improvements in efficiency is going to be seen on the 799 00:47:07,780 --> 00:47:12,100 technology side. So it's a wait and see is what I'm offering 800 00:47:12,110 --> 00:47:14,800 since the work is being done. A lot of technology side here 801 00:47:14,810 --> 00:47:17,350 that that you'll see that you'll be a cold because I 802 00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,490 think you did a much better job of describing my concern. 803 00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:22,830 >> Which is that they are out there a little bit operating in 804 00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:26,730 the dark and sometimes relying on a neighbor's testimony or so 805 00:47:26,740 --> 00:47:28,710 having that ability to get 806 00:47:30,270 --> 00:47:34,110 frequent, reliable, inconsistent information from 807 00:47:34,410 --> 00:47:37,710 home base, if you will, if I think it's critical and I just 808 00:47:37,720 --> 00:47:40,440 want to support them, right, we understand that the task that 809 00:47:40,450 --> 00:47:43,380 we gave you all was a herculean task to come back to this 810 00:47:43,390 --> 00:47:47,370 budget with 0 increases, right? And that's that's tough to do 811 00:47:47,380 --> 00:47:49,340 when their neighborhoods being 812 00:47:50,650 --> 00:47:54,170 put up overnight that we have to make sure that the buildings 813 00:47:54,180 --> 00:47:55,990 are safe, that people are operating 814 00:47:56,980 --> 00:48:01,780 as they should be, that the our Commerce continues. So it's 815 00:48:01,790 --> 00:48:05,070 just a Herculean task. And I appreciate hearing that that 816 00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,960 there's creative efforts to try to make up on the other side. 817 00:48:08,410 --> 00:48:11,110 I think the last question I had was, of course, being placed 818 00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,640 program near and dear to our hearts that this board has. 819 00:48:14,650 --> 00:48:18,620 Yeah, the sport has really has worked really hard these last 820 00:48:18,630 --> 00:48:21,060 years to try to make sure environmental protection is a 821 00:48:21,070 --> 00:48:23,750 priority. We understand our vote. It's believed that the 822 00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:28,060 citizens advocate for as much as we do and I 823 00:48:28,430 --> 00:48:31,570 so the funding that was dedicated in 2021, we 824 00:48:31,580 --> 00:48:34,110 understand that that is winding down. That's been used for its 825 00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,790 purpose. It is incredible to see the outcomes of 826 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,010 deliverables in that program. What next? 827 00:48:40,620 --> 00:48:43,700 >> Good question, commissioner. Yeah. 828 00:48:43,720 --> 00:48:47,020 >> And the board is and the board and commissioners, 829 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,420 it was a loaded question, but they're not listening to me. 830 00:48:49,430 --> 00:48:53,360 So, yes, it's it's a question that we asked internally as 831 00:48:53,370 --> 00:48:59,240 well that the team, these are your true blue environmental 832 00:48:59,250 --> 00:49:02,870 stewards. We take that work very seriously and that the 833 00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:06,350 team continues to get requests and offers. And folks from the 834 00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:10,860 community saying we would like to be able to dedicate or sell 835 00:49:10,870 --> 00:49:13,690 this to Orange County at the future. The to the interest is 836 00:49:13,700 --> 00:49:17,700 still there in private property owners. I'm giving line for 837 00:49:17,710 --> 00:49:19,420 protection and preservation. 838 00:49:20,330 --> 00:49:24,360 We are open on poised and ready to come tonight. The state's 839 00:49:24,370 --> 00:49:27,890 position that I've taken since we knew that this was happening 840 00:49:27,900 --> 00:49:31,050 and we spoke with trust for public land about some some 841 00:49:31,060 --> 00:49:32,960 financing structures. 842 00:49:33,620 --> 00:49:36,440 >> There are options available. This board decided not to 843 00:49:36,450 --> 00:49:39,410 pursue the infrastructure sales tax, but there are still 844 00:49:39,420 --> 00:49:42,410 options available. And I'm going to continue to state that 845 00:49:42,750 --> 00:49:47,290 if we don't have a plan for that, continued some kind of 846 00:49:47,300 --> 00:49:51,730 continued funding for for our acquisition of replaced 847 00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:56,080 properties of conservation land properties. We are going to be, 848 00:49:56,090 --> 00:49:59,100 you know, it will diminish the I believe, connectivity that 849 00:49:59,110 --> 00:50:02,110 we've been able to establish. So we've made a tremendous 850 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:05,190 impact. But there's a lot of work to be done until we have 851 00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,660 to make some tough decisions about that type of financing. 852 00:50:08,670 --> 00:50:10,900 I think it's worth it. The voters have said it's worth it 853 00:50:10,910 --> 00:50:14,850 over and over again. It may be that I have this conversation 854 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,000 all over again a few months with some new people that will 855 00:50:18,010 --> 00:50:22,400 continue to need the support of the leaders that are here today 856 00:50:22,410 --> 00:50:25,070 in making sure that our community stays on track to 857 00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:26,610 prioritize those, 858 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,290 but I believe are critical environmentally sensitive 859 00:50:29,300 --> 00:50:32,110 areas. Thank you all so much for your high demand in the 860 00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:32,480 agree. 861 00:50:34,380 --> 00:50:35,490 >> Okay. 862 00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:40,200 We follow him again. We still have utilities that were trying 863 00:50:40,210 --> 00:50:43,440 to get him before we do the break. So I want to ask the 864 00:50:43,450 --> 00:50:46,960 board members kindly if you can get to your questions and and 865 00:50:46,970 --> 00:50:52,030 then staff, if you can respond, Verus is simply we're going 866 00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,970 move the commission of some rare followed by Commissioner 867 00:50:54,980 --> 00:50:57,960 your rebate, then commissioner of the list could there and 868 00:50:57,970 --> 00:50:59,220 then Commissioner Scott. 869 00:50:59,630 --> 00:51:02,390 >> Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Tania think you just have 3 870 00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,640 questions and just very quickly on slide. 31, if you could, 871 00:51:05,650 --> 00:51:09,140 please go to the side. It has the impact of potential 872 00:51:09,150 --> 00:51:12,930 programs that could be cut or reduced regarding the outcome 873 00:51:12,940 --> 00:51:15,070 of property tax reform. 874 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,970 And one of the things that I just wanted to ask is I I 875 00:51:18,980 --> 00:51:21,420 understand that these are 876 00:51:22,170 --> 00:51:25,270 how it impacts your department. Could you please express for 877 00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:28,020 anybody who's watching and for us to have the facts when we 878 00:51:28,030 --> 00:51:28,910 talk to people, 879 00:51:29,910 --> 00:51:34,380 how do these the right column hear how did these translate 880 00:51:34,390 --> 00:51:38,440 into taxpayers live? So, for example, if we reduce the 881 00:51:38,450 --> 00:51:41,020 protection of lakes, rivers, wetlands and groundwater 882 00:51:41,030 --> 00:51:45,400 resources and worst, how does that impact people outside of 883 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,370 this building? What do they start to see and they're likes? 884 00:51:48,380 --> 00:51:50,930 What do they start to smell? And that explains what does 885 00:51:50,940 --> 00:51:51,920 that look like for them? 886 00:51:52,090 --> 00:51:56,210 >> Yeah, in the hypothetical sense, you know, we think about 887 00:51:56,220 --> 00:51:58,900 the fact that we service stewards, we provide that 888 00:51:58,910 --> 00:52:01,810 oversight. We make sure that there's monitoring to make sure 889 00:52:01,820 --> 00:52:05,630 that there's permitting with not having the proper staffing 890 00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:09,140 in place to be able to perform those tasks in a timely 891 00:52:09,150 --> 00:52:09,930 fashion. 892 00:52:10,450 --> 00:52:13,590 I imagine a world where there would be great to pollution. 893 00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:14,360 They would be 894 00:52:14,940 --> 00:52:16,470 greater violations. 895 00:52:17,460 --> 00:52:19,130 There would be physical. 896 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:24,150 >> Definition of our waterways and lakes in systems that it is 897 00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:27,570 it dangerous to have you dirty lakes, rivers and water bodies. 898 00:52:27,580 --> 00:52:30,400 Is that dangerous to people? It's a health threat. It is a 899 00:52:30,410 --> 00:52:31,940 health threat. Thank you. And then 900 00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:37,570 in terms of risk, meeting regulatory requirements are 901 00:52:37,580 --> 00:52:40,910 there are threats, safety threats to people when we mess 902 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,980 regulatory requirements. Yeah. Their safety threats and 903 00:52:43,990 --> 00:52:46,620 are also financial threats because there are penalties 904 00:52:46,630 --> 00:52:51,060 that we could face misstep lines. Taser 100 cities. 905 00:52:51,070 --> 00:52:52,390 Yes. Who pays them? 906 00:52:53,570 --> 00:52:56,790 The county would pay those tools whose money doesn't come 907 00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:59,260 from U.S.. Taxpayers its taxpayers. Right? So it can 908 00:52:59,270 --> 00:53:03,320 cost taxpayers money as well. In terms of this slower 909 00:53:03,330 --> 00:53:06,730 response times for permit and compliance and such. How does 910 00:53:06,740 --> 00:53:08,800 that impact community and people? 911 00:53:09,570 --> 00:53:12,950 >> I would imagine you'd start to see violations if it takes 912 00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:16,240 too long. Then folks run the risk of just moving forward 913 00:53:16,850 --> 00:53:20,440 with construction are moving forward with projects or 914 00:53:20,450 --> 00:53:23,340 activities without following the proper process. It 915 00:53:23,350 --> 00:53:25,740 undermines our regulatory process. I think. 916 00:53:26,140 --> 00:53:28,670 >> Absolutely. And most of that regulatory framework, I'm 917 00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:32,150 understanding are for reasons of public safety and quality of 918 00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:33,870 life crowd, safety and welfare. 919 00:53:34,310 --> 00:53:37,590 Thank you. And then I had a question regarding 920 00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,510 if the property tax reform because we can see like in the 921 00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:43,040 first year, it's at 922 00:53:44,450 --> 00:53:47,300 it continues to increase in the year 2. I think it goes up to 923 00:53:47,310 --> 00:53:51,350 like 200 and 50,000 this I would. So it increases over the 924 00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,270 course of time. So my my question is, is that could this 925 00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:58,590 property tax reform actually incentivize local governments 2 926 00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,620 instead of approving affordable housing that would have a lower 927 00:54:01,630 --> 00:54:05,220 tax base to approve instead luxury housing? 928 00:54:06,690 --> 00:54:10,230 >> And that's a difficult question. A difficult question. 929 00:54:11,390 --> 00:54:15,860 It's not really a case of approvals. I I think it hinders 930 00:54:15,870 --> 00:54:21,000 their ability to be able to subsidize developers that are 931 00:54:21,010 --> 00:54:23,940 in the market of providing affordable housing. So you'll 932 00:54:23,950 --> 00:54:27,250 probably see a reduction from the market because it's just 933 00:54:27,260 --> 00:54:29,110 not buildable at that price. 934 00:54:29,180 --> 00:54:32,870 >> Exactly. Thank you. And then lastly is is that I remember 935 00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:35,960 from yesterday's session we collect approximately 9% in 936 00:54:35,970 --> 00:54:39,860 impact fees. What percentage of your budget comes from 937 00:54:39,870 --> 00:54:41,430 developer impact fees? 938 00:54:42,630 --> 00:54:45,910 >> I have to get back with you on. Yeah, I don't know the 939 00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:46,840 exact number. 940 00:54:46,980 --> 00:54:49,960 >> Because I think it's important to point out that to 941 00:54:49,970 --> 00:54:51,260 do some research on. 942 00:54:52,230 --> 00:54:55,940 I think it's important to point out because we didn't we 943 00:54:59,090 --> 00:55:03,070 and is that it is you can get your number. We can better than 944 00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:03,300 that. 945 00:55:03,490 --> 00:55:06,150 >> Of the impact from this. And we don't have any impact 946 00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:07,180 fees that us 947 00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:09,510 that support pets. 948 00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,850 >> They collect collect them. But then though, the 949 00:55:12,860 --> 00:55:15,650 transportation school a lot of areas. 950 00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:20,920 >> Maybe I'm in a state of fees. Yeah, it's it's okay. 951 00:55:20,930 --> 00:55:23,750 It's because it and I just want to I just want to summarize 952 00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:26,820 with just with with our impact fees. A couple of weeks ago, 953 00:55:26,830 --> 00:55:29,560 we opted not to study whether or not developers are paying 954 00:55:29,570 --> 00:55:32,600 100% of their impact fees and they do go to important 955 00:55:32,610 --> 00:55:35,410 critical things like schools like roast like infrastructure. 956 00:55:35,790 --> 00:55:39,880 And I still just think that it's important that some point 957 00:55:39,890 --> 00:55:42,280 in time the sport goes back and says that everybody pays their 958 00:55:42,290 --> 00:55:44,990 fair share and that includes developers and I want to thank 959 00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:48,990 you for all that you do and I firmly support extending a 960 00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,710 great place funding. Commissioner Wells, thank you, 961 00:55:52,790 --> 00:55:53,830 commissioner. You may be. 962 00:55:54,540 --> 00:55:57,560 >> Yes, I appreciate the updated information. There's 2 963 00:55:57,570 --> 00:55:59,770 things. There's one ice on the building where it said 964 00:56:00,170 --> 00:56:02,970 reinspection permit fee which I believe that's a new fee. 965 00:56:02,980 --> 00:56:03,500 Guys are 966 00:56:04,190 --> 00:56:05,030 you're doing? 967 00:56:08,900 --> 00:56:14,380 So that was on slide this one. 25. Yeah. Now is that 968 00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,590 you can you walk me through that a little because I had a 969 00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,910 particular project in my district about 2 years ago 970 00:56:21,470 --> 00:56:24,900 where the inspector, although there were sealed plans, 971 00:56:24,910 --> 00:56:28,690 Chrissy inspector did not want to follow the sealed plans. 972 00:56:28,700 --> 00:56:31,130 The county done and cause a reinspection, 973 00:56:31,720 --> 00:56:32,630 right. So 974 00:56:33,100 --> 00:56:36,930 this this to me is very broad because there's 975 00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:40,470 there's this and then there's the reality that happens on the 976 00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:42,370 field. So just curious to know. 977 00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:49,210 >> Commission or inspection fees are going from 38 to 76 978 00:56:49,220 --> 00:56:53,000 based on a time study and the cost of providing the service. 979 00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:58,540 The fee for reinspection and 2014 was $30 and our costs have 980 00:56:58,550 --> 00:56:59,720 risen significantly. 981 00:57:00,060 --> 00:57:03,570 >> No, that's my question. I I know you're having go up. 982 00:57:03,580 --> 00:57:06,930 I'm talking about when the re inspection fees caused by the 983 00:57:06,940 --> 00:57:11,190 actual county and not the applicant because we've had a I 984 00:57:11,410 --> 00:57:17,010 I've had one where they follow the seal plans and then the 985 00:57:17,020 --> 00:57:19,720 inspectors said, I don't care with those seal plan say 986 00:57:20,130 --> 00:57:23,550 I want it changed. So they had a, you know, get another 987 00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:26,370 inspection. So is is there 988 00:57:26,900 --> 00:57:29,770 this industry is not black and white, OK? And I think that's 989 00:57:29,780 --> 00:57:33,580 what's really important because permitting you the zonings and 990 00:57:33,590 --> 00:57:37,620 variances, there's just some human nature. You just can't 991 00:57:37,630 --> 00:57:41,390 make it every every every plot of land was sizes. Same in. 992 00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,250 Every developer says it would be different. 993 00:57:44,510 --> 00:57:47,650 I worry about this because we hear about this on the field 994 00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:51,150 from people who are actually trying to do a correction or 995 00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,260 they wait around all day and they they're waiting for an 996 00:57:53,270 --> 00:57:55,900 inspector. An inspector doesn't show up. And so you've got 997 00:57:55,910 --> 00:57:56,570 people who, 998 00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:00,270 >> like I don't mind a fee. I just think that we need to 999 00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:00,850 be. 1000 00:58:01,220 --> 00:58:04,890 >> Just as respectful to that person who's waiting for an 1001 00:58:04,900 --> 00:58:07,240 inspection of come in and it doesn't come because they get 1002 00:58:07,250 --> 00:58:11,250 thrown off and then things like that. So it goes on both that. 1003 00:58:11,430 --> 00:58:14,200 >> Commissioner, if our inspectors are not able to make 1004 00:58:14,210 --> 00:58:15,310 it that day, we 1005 00:58:15,870 --> 00:58:18,800 do not charge them a re inspection. No, that's not. 1006 00:58:18,810 --> 00:58:20,710 That's not. The question is I think you're free. 1007 00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:23,750 >> Kind of in the context of the thousands, literally 1008 00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:27,640 thousands. There they are. And certainly of those rare 1009 00:58:27,650 --> 00:58:32,210 instances that there may be some conflicts in terms of 1010 00:58:33,370 --> 00:58:36,450 it was in the plans of the on the field. But that I think if 1011 00:58:36,460 --> 00:58:40,120 you look at it in the context of the numbers, I don't have 1012 00:58:40,130 --> 00:58:42,260 the numbers off the top of my head. I know I get the monthly 1013 00:58:42,270 --> 00:58:46,900 report of those inspections. We're going to say this. 1014 00:58:46,910 --> 00:58:51,740 There may be those those a rare. This is where they're the 1015 00:58:51,750 --> 00:58:54,040 conflict. But those get address, those get addressed. 1016 00:58:54,050 --> 00:58:59,150 Sometimes we understand that frustration by feel when you 1017 00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:03,300 look at their numbers of the one, that's the number that go 1018 00:59:03,310 --> 00:59:07,060 through. Folks get addressed. We identify where those 1019 00:59:07,070 --> 00:59:09,940 conflicts there to be this resolutions. But also they 1020 00:59:09,950 --> 00:59:14,120 taken some great strides in terms of their responsiveness 1021 00:59:14,130 --> 00:59:17,290 and feel now that I think if they want to talk, they can 1022 00:59:17,300 --> 00:59:19,930 talk to, you know, it's that time perhaps. But they could 1023 00:59:19,940 --> 00:59:22,340 talk a bit about some of those changes that have occurred over 1024 00:59:22,350 --> 00:59:24,960 that two-year period of time. Some of those changes that have 1025 00:59:24,970 --> 00:59:27,930 occurred to be more responsive to those activities in the 1026 00:59:27,940 --> 00:59:31,090 field. And I know that there's a litany of things that has put 1027 00:59:31,100 --> 00:59:31,830 in place 1028 00:59:33,450 --> 00:59:36,530 as well. But they'll be more than happy to come and go 1029 00:59:36,900 --> 00:59:39,710 >> into some of the well into my. My whole point is I've had 1030 00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:42,360 this happen in my district where they've had a truck ready 1031 00:59:42,370 --> 00:59:45,720 to go do concrete and the inspectors like I don't care. 1032 00:59:45,730 --> 00:59:48,380 And this person lost a lot of money because it wasn't just 1033 00:59:48,390 --> 00:59:51,420 the inspection fee. It was a concrete being poured. It was 1034 00:59:51,430 --> 00:59:53,610 in closing off a street. Was all of those things in. 1035 00:59:53,890 --> 00:59:55,570 It does happen quite a bit. 1036 00:59:56,290 --> 00:59:58,960 >> With people who do, okay, okay. I don't. 1037 00:59:59,330 --> 01:00:02,150 >> I don't know. But it makes you wonder why they're 1038 01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:05,200 privatizing the line. People are opting to private eyes 1039 01:00:05,210 --> 01:00:08,300 because of this issue they're having. But it's okay. I'm 1040 01:00:08,310 --> 01:00:10,650 gonna move on. And I 1041 01:00:10,850 --> 01:00:14,880 >> really, really have an issue with the dramatic increase on 1042 01:00:14,890 --> 01:00:18,360 Botox. Okay. I've made this. I brought this up to your 1043 01:00:18,370 --> 01:00:18,980 staff. 1044 01:00:19,380 --> 01:00:22,660 I brought it up to my NAV. Mine at board meeting is got 1045 01:00:22,670 --> 01:00:26,520 involved and my communities got really involved. And so I have 1046 01:00:26,530 --> 01:00:30,170 my team do research to the surrounding counties and cities 1047 01:00:30,350 --> 01:00:38,000 and and this is this is a lot to go from $182, too. 1048 01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:42,430 $1308 win 1049 01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:44,650 the city of Orlando, 1050 01:00:45,210 --> 01:00:49,050 Osceola County, Seminole County, the city of a pop-up 1051 01:00:49,490 --> 01:00:53,530 are nowhere near in this in this realm. And it and it 1052 01:00:53,540 --> 01:00:56,730 really is bothersome because this is what I share is this is 1053 01:00:56,740 --> 01:00:57,960 when we start getting preempted. 1054 01:00:58,430 --> 01:01:02,730 When we go from 182 to 1300 hours when we go from 100 and 1055 01:01:03,290 --> 01:01:08,270 82 to $3400 when we go from 182 to $4900 1056 01:01:08,830 --> 01:01:11,090 on residents who live in this town. 1057 01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:15,080 That's that's a major. It's a major thing. And and I really 1058 01:01:15,090 --> 01:01:15,780 think that 1059 01:01:16,490 --> 01:01:20,800 my what I what I was told was, well, no one wanted to do it 1060 01:01:20,810 --> 01:01:23,680 for 20 years. So we're just going to slam it on the 1061 01:01:23,690 --> 01:01:27,440 residents right now. And that's not responsible. And that's why 1062 01:01:27,450 --> 01:01:32,310 we keep getting criticized about taxes in Homestead. 1063 01:01:32,490 --> 01:01:35,340 And us being accused of overcharging and overspending 1064 01:01:35,350 --> 01:01:38,680 is when you see something like this, this is this is very 1065 01:01:38,690 --> 01:01:41,140 disheartening. And I think that we have not been public enough. 1066 01:01:41,150 --> 01:01:45,130 I have a lake town hall meeting on Tuesday where we're going to 1067 01:01:45,140 --> 01:01:48,380 let people know. But but I did to my research and it and it's 1068 01:01:48,390 --> 01:01:50,860 really appalling to me. When Orange County went from one, 1069 01:01:50,870 --> 01:01:56,330 82 Seminole County's $30, the city of Orlando, $62, 1070 01:01:56,940 --> 01:02:00,180 city of Osceola County is $85. 1071 01:02:00,730 --> 01:02:03,240 Granted, we have additional steps and I get that. But I've 1072 01:02:03,250 --> 01:02:07,200 also I've also mentioned, why are we modernizing the system? 1073 01:02:07,210 --> 01:02:10,610 Because what I was told primarily was amount of labor, 1074 01:02:10,620 --> 01:02:13,170 right? Somebody submits an application and it's not 1075 01:02:13,180 --> 01:02:16,930 complete. And the team requires a lot of time reviewing an 1076 01:02:16,940 --> 01:02:20,360 application. Didn't say it's not complete. So you've just 1077 01:02:20,370 --> 01:02:23,880 been and I'm sure are very talented team is not being paid 1078 01:02:23,890 --> 01:02:24,940 $15 an hour. 1079 01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:28,720 So when I look at the labor costs, but when you also look 1080 01:02:28,730 --> 01:02:31,880 at technology, I tell people I get on and I make a payment. 1081 01:02:31,890 --> 01:02:32,870 If I didn't put my, 1082 01:02:33,590 --> 01:02:36,230 you know, date of expiration my credit card, it doesn't go 1083 01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:36,600 through 1084 01:02:37,250 --> 01:02:40,580 like we really should not be a waste in the talent of this 1085 01:02:40,590 --> 01:02:43,480 team. Looking at an application that's incomplete. If it's 1086 01:02:43,490 --> 01:02:46,690 incomplete, you know, because this is very of Hollywood, 1087 01:02:46,700 --> 01:02:49,420 it looks at us and as Orange County's as residents, we pride 1088 01:02:49,430 --> 01:02:52,840 ourselves wanting, you know, when I go to my nap or other 1089 01:02:52,850 --> 01:02:54,850 trying to do is get their lakes clean, they're trying to see 1090 01:02:54,860 --> 01:02:57,320 how much they can leverage or and this to you. I mean, 1091 01:02:57,330 --> 01:03:00,580 I have an issue going on in Fern Creek because the U.S. to 1092 01:03:00,590 --> 01:03:02,860 use of we're not going to lock your gate anymore. So now I 1093 01:03:02,870 --> 01:03:05,490 have people hanging out on the lake and drinking 1094 01:03:06,270 --> 01:03:09,080 in a residential area because they want to pay $6200 because 1095 01:03:09,090 --> 01:03:11,790 their value in every single penny that goes into the 1096 01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:14,780 protection of our waters. But didn't we do something like 1097 01:03:14,790 --> 01:03:16,550 this is just not reasonable? 1098 01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:19,180 This is not reasonable to me. And I think it's very unfair to 1099 01:03:19,190 --> 01:03:21,930 take 20 years and put it on one year. 1100 01:03:22,380 --> 01:03:25,350 And I really feel that we need to be much more open with the 1101 01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:28,330 public and we need to go to all of our NAV Fords and we need to 1102 01:03:28,340 --> 01:03:30,510 talk turn, of course, and we need to talk to residents 1103 01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:31,420 before we do that. 1104 01:03:31,890 --> 01:03:34,980 I do believe costs have gone up. I'm not saying they haven't 1105 01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:43,020 to go. 1400 1% increase on people who live in this town is 1106 01:03:43,030 --> 01:03:45,940 I think very responsible. I need to be open to looking at 1107 01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:48,690 with corporate our companies are involved because it tends 1108 01:03:48,700 --> 01:03:51,730 to be more company or lack of knowledge on a resident 1109 01:03:53,250 --> 01:03:57,160 that's just does not seem like the best course of action. 1110 01:03:57,170 --> 01:04:01,550 What we do when we have so much invested in Mst isn't so much 1111 01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:03,800 people who live on the lake love those lights choose to 1112 01:04:03,810 --> 01:04:06,620 live on those lakes and contribute. And you know, 1113 01:04:06,630 --> 01:04:09,080 much more to, you know, must use are more than just people 1114 01:04:09,090 --> 01:04:11,900 in the lake. My neighbors across the street who can't who 1115 01:04:11,910 --> 01:04:13,080 don't have access to the lake 1116 01:04:13,580 --> 01:04:16,820 pay into that. And I think we really need to be a lot more 1117 01:04:16,830 --> 01:04:19,520 respectful to the residents. Sullivan, this just like we 1118 01:04:19,530 --> 01:04:23,280 treat parks and everything else. And I I really wish that 1119 01:04:23,290 --> 01:04:25,740 this board will consider that and actually get some real 1120 01:04:25,750 --> 01:04:27,270 feedback from the community. 1121 01:04:27,660 --> 01:04:33,550 >> It really gets to students on on the decline, less of it. 1122 01:04:34,950 --> 01:04:39,710 And let's bring that back full board discussion and we can 1123 01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:44,020 look at those fees, C what may be an appropriate line item but 1124 01:04:44,030 --> 01:04:46,930 doing movies for other questions. Commissioner, 1125 01:04:46,940 --> 01:04:47,570 you're e-bay. 1126 01:04:49,070 --> 01:04:51,680 >> Everything is everything is going. So thank you. 1127 01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:55,430 >> All right. We're going to go to Commissioner Gomez Cordero. 1128 01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:59,000 >> Thank you, mayor. And thank you. Missed any of full your 1129 01:04:59,010 --> 01:05:02,380 presentation and for youth team that directors everyone. 1130 01:05:02,390 --> 01:05:05,830 I mean, they have been so accessible to this report have 1131 01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:08,380 helped me so much. So I have to say thank you. I cannot believe 1132 01:05:08,390 --> 01:05:11,490 what he's saying. Thank you. And I have to say also thank 1133 01:05:11,500 --> 01:05:14,050 you to leave and who was in the front receiver and the staff 1134 01:05:14,060 --> 01:05:17,080 there is that they have been helping but helping and 1135 01:05:17,090 --> 01:05:20,260 assisting in a good way to his spending that comes and doesn't 1136 01:05:20,270 --> 01:05:24,120 have a clue what they have to win. He and the rest in the 1137 01:05:24,130 --> 01:05:27,140 front would be helping. So thank you for and also to land 1138 01:05:27,150 --> 01:05:31,720 about that is accessible to me to connect those small business 1139 01:05:31,730 --> 01:05:34,960 to Orange County. So thank you. Thank you. I mean, I will not 1140 01:05:34,970 --> 01:05:37,370 do this if I do have you all because is a lot of work. 1141 01:05:37,380 --> 01:05:40,800 But anyway, thank you. And I just want I have 2 questions. 1142 01:05:40,810 --> 01:05:46,790 One in slide. Number 9, you said about reclassifying 1143 01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:49,210 position. Can you give me an example? 1144 01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:55,750 >> So particularly in areas like building safety, we've had 1145 01:05:55,820 --> 01:05:59,110 opportunity is with our inspectors are a plans. 1146 01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:03,090 Examiner is where we'd be able to reclassify, too, the next 1147 01:06:03,100 --> 01:06:07,830 level within the chain of that positioning so that we the 1148 01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:11,380 person is uncapped just that. That's either though they're 1149 01:06:11,390 --> 01:06:14,690 able then to go to level one level, 2 level 3. 1150 01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:17,030 >> Ok, 3. Okay. 1151 01:06:18,150 --> 01:06:19,370 Okay. And then 1152 01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:22,020 and my other question is 1153 01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:31,540 and okay in this instance in the summary is says that the 1154 01:06:31,550 --> 01:06:36,710 proposed budget total is 256.1 million. 1155 01:06:37,380 --> 01:06:41,940 Is that the the the some of the personal services and operating 1156 01:06:41,950 --> 01:06:46,600 the ones that didn't? It's OK, so is 208 minutes. Just 1157 01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:53,690 that's it's okay. Yeah, Asian. Get a person. But when you use 1158 01:06:53,700 --> 01:06:57,450 it is 200 and you add it is 258 Million. 1159 01:06:59,130 --> 01:07:04,260 It's not 256.1. I just got more money. So, yeah, money that's 1160 01:07:04,270 --> 01:07:06,480 going on and that it was just all the people that know, 1161 01:07:06,490 --> 01:07:09,420 you know, the plenty of spending for. Okay. And that's 1162 01:07:09,430 --> 01:07:12,380 it. Thank you, Commissioner. Thank you. Thank you, 1163 01:07:13,300 --> 01:07:14,660 Commissioner Scott. 1164 01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:17,690 >> Thank you, Mayor Time. Thank you for that 1165 01:07:17,700 --> 01:07:21,340 presentation. As you know, we've had a 1166 01:07:21,740 --> 01:07:24,100 it challenges over the past couple years. More recently, 1167 01:07:24,110 --> 01:07:26,320 the slop World and then Commissioner 1168 01:07:27,500 --> 01:07:31,780 Wilson talked about the warehouse inspections. Can you 1169 01:07:32,420 --> 01:07:35,090 I know is all their fresh? Is there anything that you're 1170 01:07:35,100 --> 01:07:39,350 ready to share? Just got this conversation is to address 1171 01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:43,240 either one time inspections by code enforcement cease-fire 1172 01:07:43,250 --> 01:07:46,270 separately during the meeting to discuss to try to mitigate 1173 01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:49,380 or prevent some of those things happening either. And in a 1174 01:07:49,390 --> 01:07:51,610 warehouse that has fireworks a warehouse as animals that 1175 01:07:51,620 --> 01:07:52,760 should be should be there. 1176 01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:55,200 >> I mean, but friendly. 1177 01:07:55,850 --> 01:07:58,530 She wants to share some of the exciting things that the team 1178 01:07:58,540 --> 01:07:59,360 is working on. 1179 01:08:01,950 --> 01:08:04,970 >> Brandy, listen, I know you still in the kitchen cooking 1180 01:08:04,980 --> 01:08:07,730 added some seasoning and stuff like that. So to share, which 1181 01:08:07,740 --> 01:08:09,820 are ready to share. I know this is a process and it's going 1182 01:08:09,830 --> 01:08:12,220 require a lot of partners, not just our staff and all the 1183 01:08:12,230 --> 01:08:15,000 other agencies, whatever you're comfortable ish or not need, 1184 01:08:15,010 --> 01:08:17,080 you're going to be tough. You're not ready. 1185 01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:19,960 >> Good morning. Commissioners of Rangers manager, 1186 01:08:19,970 --> 01:08:21,390 Neighborhood Services Division 1187 01:08:22,290 --> 01:08:27,640 to Cook plans is limited by where we can. Actually that's 1188 01:08:27,650 --> 01:08:28,570 what we can do. 1189 01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:35,990 So if we can see you from the right away or from an area that 1190 01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:37,670 were legally allowed to be, 1191 01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:42,190 then we can you right up the violation if we see it with the 1192 01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:45,210 issue at the warehouse is is that we can't go into those 1193 01:08:45,220 --> 01:08:48,310 private properties and this may gives us access either the 1194 01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:50,520 owner or an occupation. So 1195 01:08:53,550 --> 01:08:58,160 violations are in response to callers calling in. 1196 01:08:58,650 --> 01:09:03,400 We're about 50 for 50, 50 right now on callers calling in 1197 01:09:03,410 --> 01:09:05,770 violations versus inspector observed. 1198 01:09:06,380 --> 01:09:10,730 That's where are our biggest hurdle is in getting access 1199 01:09:10,740 --> 01:09:13,690 inside of those buildings. And if they don't pull it 1200 01:09:13,700 --> 01:09:15,220 appropriate for me, it's so 1201 01:09:15,810 --> 01:09:18,750 in the case of the warehouse was off or they had not pulled 1202 01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:20,890 any permits to change the use of that building 1203 01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:24,400 that use wasn't allowed in that building. And so no one knew 1204 01:09:24,410 --> 01:09:27,520 what was going on to it inside that building. It was, is it 1205 01:09:27,530 --> 01:09:30,570 essentially built to store cars? That's it. 1206 01:09:31,060 --> 01:09:36,530 And so that's where our hurdles, 6 now, fire rescue has 1207 01:09:36,540 --> 01:09:40,640 access that we might get to gain access that way. But until 1208 01:09:40,650 --> 01:09:43,600 we have some that can allow us into that building, we can't 1209 01:09:43,610 --> 01:09:46,090 then go in and issue new violations. 1210 01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:49,930 >> And then so is a follow-up to that. If someone were to 1211 01:09:49,940 --> 01:09:52,490 report something they've seen, you guys would maybe try to 1212 01:09:52,500 --> 01:09:54,850 work with other agencies to communicate that information 1213 01:09:54,860 --> 01:09:57,050 who might have. That's what this fire rescuers say. Hey, 1214 01:09:57,060 --> 01:10:00,000 we received this complaint and, you know, may have more 1215 01:10:00,010 --> 01:10:02,840 authority or or resource to be able to address it through 1216 01:10:02,850 --> 01:10:03,610 other means. 1217 01:10:03,630 --> 01:10:07,260 >> Yeah. And there's some recent cases that you may be 1218 01:10:07,270 --> 01:10:09,420 familiar with. We partnered with the health Department, 1219 01:10:09,430 --> 01:10:11,710 the fire department, the sheriff's department, you know, 1220 01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:16,220 wherever we can find a resource to help us, you know, bring 1221 01:10:16,230 --> 01:10:19,320 that property into compliance or give us access that we need 1222 01:10:19,330 --> 01:10:22,180 to in order to ensure the safety of the community. 1223 01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:24,490 They we're partnering with those organizations 1224 01:10:25,620 --> 01:10:27,760 trying to bring that to a resolution. 1225 01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:32,220 >> Commissioners, mayor, one of those partnerships out they've 1226 01:10:32,230 --> 01:10:34,840 got 2 years or so ago, Code Enforcement. 1227 01:10:35,340 --> 01:10:39,350 >> Fire Department, building health departments. 1228 01:10:40,410 --> 01:10:43,240 And I feel like I'm this is someone the sheriff's office 1229 01:10:43,250 --> 01:10:47,010 several age, 22 apartment complex where they have rats 1230 01:10:47,020 --> 01:10:50,370 roaches even sue, which is coming out into a playground is 1231 01:10:50,380 --> 01:10:53,380 the Cayden apartments.
