00:13:49,813 --> 00:13:52,813
all today. Thank you for

379
00:13:53,617 --> 00:13:54,550
having me. I'm particularly

380
00:13:54,550 --> 00:13:55,219
excited to be here because we

381
00:13:55,219 --> 00:13:58,819
have lots of great news to

382
00:13:58,922 --> 00:13:59,822
share. And I think that's it's

383
00:13:59,822 --> 00:14:01,825
always good to focus on the

384
00:14:01,825 --> 00:14:03,126
positive rate. You guys had

385
00:14:03,126 --> 00:14:03,827
some other good things to

386
00:14:03,827 --> 00:14:06,827
celebrate today. And we just

387
00:14:09,633 --> 00:14:10,367
need to keep that going. This

388
00:14:10,367 --> 00:14:12,703
first slide. While I know that

389
00:14:12,703 --> 00:14:14,638
you all are aware as

390
00:14:14,638 --> 00:14:16,273
commissioners who sits on our

391
00:14:16,273 --> 00:14:16,874
this is really I always like

392
00:14:16,874 --> 00:14:19,874
to include this in our

393
00:14:20,611 --> 00:14:21,312
presentation material because

394
00:14:21,312 --> 00:14:22,813
this is really for the public

395
00:14:22,813 --> 00:14:23,813
who MAY be listening and

396
00:14:23,813 --> 00:14:24,414
doesn't necessarily know about

397
00:14:24,414 --> 00:14:25,115
the corporation or the

398
00:14:25,115 --> 00:14:28,715
services that we offer. But I

399
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:30,120
think this is particularly

400
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,120
important information for

401
00:14:33,230 --> 00:14:34,257
businesses to see that we have

402
00:14:34,257 --> 00:14:36,657
some incredible board members

403
00:14:37,894 --> 00:14:38,829
who are very seasoned when it

404
00:14:38,829 --> 00:14:41,398
comes to elements of economic

405
00:14:41,398 --> 00:14:42,132
development and in the

406
00:14:42,132 --> 00:14:44,532
business community, we have

407
00:14:44,634 --> 00:14:47,340
some amazing champions that

408
00:14:49,272 --> 00:14:50,600
are rallying behind projects

409
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,406
growth, retention. And they're

410
00:14:52,409 --> 00:14:53,430
just very supportive of what

411
00:14:53,430 --> 00:14:55,312
businesses are hoping to

412
00:14:55,312 --> 00:14:56,780
achieve in the community. And

413
00:14:56,780 --> 00:14:57,481
I don't know about you, but

414
00:14:57,481 --> 00:14:59,881
that's really some incredible

415
00:15:00,617 --> 00:15:01,351
players that we have behind

416
00:15:01,351 --> 00:15:03,420
the strategy of of which were

417
00:15:03,420 --> 00:15:05,255
trying to accomplish here in

418
00:15:05,255 --> 00:15:05,955
the community. And I know I

419
00:15:05,955 --> 00:15:07,358
didn't I probably didn't say

420
00:15:07,358 --> 00:15:08,325
it for the record, but my name

421
00:15:08,325 --> 00:15:10,930
is Kaylee Cannon. The

422
00:15:10,930 --> 00:15:11,995
PRESIDENT Of the Economic

423
00:15:11,995 --> 00:15:12,963
Development Corporation. As

424
00:15:12,963 --> 00:15:13,763
David was actually alluding to

425
00:15:13,763 --> 00:15:16,233
earlier, I have an associate

426
00:15:16,233 --> 00:15:18,769
who works in my office and her

427
00:15:18,769 --> 00:15:21,138
name is Alex t Arena and she

428
00:15:21,138 --> 00:15:21,872
is the director of existing

429
00:15:21,872 --> 00:15:22,539
industry. For those of you who

430
00:15:22,539 --> 00:15:25,539
are watching and don't know

431
00:15:27,111 --> 00:15:28,246
who we are. Somebody give you

432
00:15:28,246 --> 00:15:30,247
just a brief summary. I'm not

433
00:15:30,247 --> 00:15:31,115
necessarily going to leave

434
00:15:31,115 --> 00:15:34,715
read these items line by line

435
00:15:35,850 --> 00:15:35,819
just for sake of time today.

436
00:15:35,819 --> 00:15:36,487
But you review some of these

437
00:15:36,487 --> 00:15:39,923
at your leisure, all try to

438
00:15:39,923 --> 00:15:40,624
hit the high notes. One of the

439
00:15:40,624 --> 00:15:41,693
most important things that I

440
00:15:41,693 --> 00:15:44,930
think the Economic Development

441
00:15:44,695 --> 00:15:45,896
Corporation does for the

442
00:15:45,896 --> 00:15:47,598
community that they do you

443
00:15:47,598 --> 00:15:48,465
know, especially when it comes

444
00:15:48,465 --> 00:15:50,167
to the city and the county is

445
00:15:50,167 --> 00:15:51,836
that we represent you when we

446
00:15:51,836 --> 00:15:52,570
go places. That's a big deal

447
00:15:52,570 --> 00:15:55,172
because we got a lot of are no

448
00:15:55,172 --> 00:15:56,730
places to the community. While

449
00:15:56,730 --> 00:15:57,874
we do spend a lot of time here

450
00:15:57,874 --> 00:16:00,711
with businesses that are here,

451
00:16:00,711 --> 00:16:02,145
we spend a lot of time on

452
00:16:02,145 --> 00:16:03,513
other projects at the state

453
00:16:03,513 --> 00:16:05,415
level, the regional level, the

454
00:16:05,415 --> 00:16:06,850
local level and education

455
00:16:06,850 --> 00:16:09,850
wise, Alex and I actually

456
00:16:09,953 --> 00:16:10,921
represent the community on

457
00:16:10,921 --> 00:16:13,321
several different boards to

458
00:16:13,623 --> 00:16:16,427
make sure that we are apprised

459
00:16:16,427 --> 00:16:17,895
of what's going on that we

460
00:16:17,895 --> 00:16:18,595
know where the resource

461
00:16:18,595 --> 00:16:21,595
directions are going. And so

462
00:16:21,865 --> 00:16:22,566
that people know that

463
00:16:22,566 --> 00:16:23,300
Okeechobee is the best place

464
00:16:23,300 --> 00:16:26,436
to live and do business. And I

465
00:16:26,436 --> 00:16:28,405
think that's really important.

466
00:16:28,405 --> 00:16:30,400
Some of the important ways

467
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:30,774
that we have represented the

468
00:16:30,774 --> 00:16:32,642
community of Okeechobee in the

469
00:16:32,642 --> 00:16:35,278
county in the places that we

470
00:16:35,278 --> 00:16:36,247
have went recently is we were

471
00:16:36,247 --> 00:16:39,718
invited to a small event that

472
00:16:39,718 --> 00:16:40,351
space Florida hosted and we

473
00:16:40,351 --> 00:16:41,520
were actually personally

474
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,553
invited, which I thought was

475
00:16:43,553 --> 00:16:45,455
great. We are right now

476
00:16:45,455 --> 00:16:47,257
working on a space Florida

477
00:16:47,257 --> 00:16:50,280
project at your airport MS.

478
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:50,694
And I know we've reported on

479
00:16:50,694 --> 00:16:53,531
that before, but this is a

480
00:16:53,531 --> 00:16:53,930
very unique event because it

481
00:16:53,930 --> 00:16:54,598
was small.

482
00:16:54,598 --> 00:16:56,834
>> They called it a partner

483
00:16:56,834 --> 00:16:57,134
workshop. And on Day one, they

484
00:16:57,134 --> 00:16:59,134
had.

485
00:17:01,739 --> 00:17:02,440
>> Lots of very large and very

486
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:03,273
high. An aviation business is

487
00:17:03,273 --> 00:17:03,941
represented there and giving

488
00:17:03,941 --> 00:17:06,941
their feedback on trends in

489
00:17:07,244 --> 00:17:09,644
that industry. Airports. Very

490
00:17:10,470 --> 00:17:12,820
important to us. And we know

491
00:17:12,820 --> 00:17:16,120
that there's a lot of room for

492
00:17:16,120 --> 00:17:17,210
growth like all year. Rift

493
00:17:17,210 --> 00:17:17,721
Grant, you know, we're looking

494
00:17:17,721 --> 00:17:20,190
at future how we can develop

495
00:17:20,190 --> 00:17:21,992
that for the future. And so

496
00:17:21,992 --> 00:17:23,126
there was a lot of really good

497
00:17:23,126 --> 00:17:24,361
industry feedback. We got to

498
00:17:24,361 --> 00:17:24,995
spend some time with industry

499
00:17:24,995 --> 00:17:26,997
that night. And then the

500
00:17:26,997 --> 00:17:27,698
second day they called a dumb

501
00:17:27,698 --> 00:17:29,967
more like a stakeholder event

502
00:17:29,967 --> 00:17:30,634
where the actual it owes in

503
00:17:30,634 --> 00:17:33,340
the communities could give

504
00:17:33,437 --> 00:17:34,104
their feedback. But I thought

505
00:17:34,104 --> 00:17:37,104
there was some really great

506
00:17:37,474 --> 00:17:38,342
takeaways from that. But

507
00:17:38,342 --> 00:17:40,344
there's lots of opportunities

508
00:17:40,344 --> 00:17:42,212
that Alex and I have where we

509
00:17:42,212 --> 00:17:42,881
can go and spend time with

510
00:17:42,881 --> 00:17:44,349
specific target industries.

511
00:17:44,349 --> 00:17:45,617
And I think that was a really

512
00:17:45,617 --> 00:17:46,551
great event. And we're looking

513
00:17:46,551 --> 00:17:47,218
forward to bringing you are

514
00:17:47,218 --> 00:17:49,618
really great space. Florida

515
00:17:50,754 --> 00:17:53,658
project. Alex also was able to

516
00:17:53,658 --> 00:17:54,258
speak to the leadership

517
00:17:54,258 --> 00:17:54,892
Okeechobee class about

518
00:17:54,892 --> 00:17:55,860
economic development and

519
00:17:55,860 --> 00:17:56,594
telling them who we are and

520
00:17:56,594 --> 00:17:59,163
what we do. So that was always

521
00:17:59,163 --> 00:18:01,563
a great opportunity. Another

522
00:18:03,801 --> 00:18:06,604
one of the really amazing ways

523
00:18:06,604 --> 00:18:07,839
that I think our office help

524
00:18:07,839 --> 00:18:09,307
support what we're trying to

525
00:18:09,307 --> 00:18:10,700
do in this community. Beyond

526
00:18:10,700 --> 00:18:12,407
representing you, the places

527
00:18:14,512 --> 00:18:16,130
that we go I'm gonna call this

528
00:18:16,130 --> 00:18:16,613
Alex's baby. But as our

529
00:18:16,613 --> 00:18:17,681
program called business

530
00:18:17,681 --> 00:18:20,810
retention and expansion, and

531
00:18:22,219 --> 00:18:24,322
while the external community

532
00:18:24,322 --> 00:18:25,423
probably knows of us because

533
00:18:25,423 --> 00:18:26,323
of MAY be more flash, your

534
00:18:26,323 --> 00:18:27,191
projects that are recruitment

535
00:18:27,191 --> 00:18:27,858
bright based, right? We're

536
00:18:27,858 --> 00:18:30,258
always talking about what's

537
00:18:31,829 --> 00:18:32,763
new and what's coming. I think

538
00:18:32,763 --> 00:18:34,320
where the community is going

539
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,660
to find the highest return on

540
00:18:35,660 --> 00:18:35,766
their investment is making

541
00:18:35,766 --> 00:18:37,868
sure that the businesses that

542
00:18:37,868 --> 00:18:38,569
are already established here

543
00:18:38,569 --> 00:18:42,169
have the tools that they need

544
00:18:42,773 --> 00:18:44,809
to be successful. And so

545
00:18:44,809 --> 00:18:46,644
that's we have, you know,

546
00:18:46,644 --> 00:18:47,311
technically a whole person

547
00:18:47,311 --> 00:18:49,380
dedicated for this program.

548
00:18:49,380 --> 00:18:50,681
But this is really important

549
00:18:50,681 --> 00:18:51,849
to us. So there are a few

550
00:18:51,849 --> 00:18:53,886
different ways that we support

551
00:18:53,886 --> 00:18:56,886
businesses that are here that

552
00:18:56,921 --> 00:18:57,623
are already existing in that

553
00:18:57,623 --> 00:19:00,858
maybe I there are looking to

554
00:19:00,858 --> 00:19:03,327
expand. Are already in that

555
00:19:03,327 --> 00:19:05,596
expansion process or we've

556
00:19:05,596 --> 00:19:08,299
also talked to some businesses

557
00:19:08,299 --> 00:19:09,100
who weren't doing well and

558
00:19:09,100 --> 00:19:09,801
were considering leaving. And

559
00:19:09,801 --> 00:19:12,236
so we were able to make sure

560
00:19:12,236 --> 00:19:14,171
that that didn't happen. And

561
00:19:14,171 --> 00:19:14,872
so before I go any further,

562
00:19:14,872 --> 00:19:17,575
I'd like to just make sure

563
00:19:17,575 --> 00:19:18,309
that I know for the record.

564
00:19:18,309 --> 00:19:19,430
For those of you who are

565
00:19:19,430 --> 00:19:21,443
listening to this presentation

566
00:19:21,813 --> 00:19:24,549
today. And for those of you

567
00:19:24,549 --> 00:19:25,583
who MAY watch in the future,

568
00:19:25,583 --> 00:19:26,751
if you are one of those

569
00:19:26,751 --> 00:19:27,385
businesses or, you know, it's

570
00:19:27,385 --> 00:19:29,553
one of those businesses,

571
00:19:29,553 --> 00:19:32,724
please give us a call. While

572
00:19:32,724 --> 00:19:33,391
we do try to focus on

573
00:19:33,391 --> 00:19:36,227
businesses that are what we

574
00:19:36,227 --> 00:19:37,328
try to call a target industry,

575
00:19:37,328 --> 00:19:37,962
I've never turned a business

576
00:19:37,962 --> 00:19:40,198
down when they called in

577
00:19:40,198 --> 00:19:40,932
asking for assistance. So if

578
00:19:40,932 --> 00:19:43,932
you're one of those businesses

579
00:19:44,335 --> 00:19:45,690
are, you know, one. It are a

580
00:19:45,690 --> 00:19:47,272
contact information will be at

581
00:19:47,272 --> 00:19:48,600
the end of the slider. You can

582
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:48,740
find or information online. So

583
00:19:48,740 --> 00:19:51,740
please don't hesitate. We love

584
00:19:52,309 --> 00:19:52,944
to come and assist. You.

585
00:19:52,944 --> 00:19:53,611
Moving right along there.

586
00:19:53,611 --> 00:19:55,947
Several different ways that

587
00:19:55,947 --> 00:19:56,514
that we like to support when

588
00:19:56,514 --> 00:19:58,914
it comes to business,

589
00:19:59,417 --> 00:20:00,840
retention and expansion. One

590
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:01,619
of the new items that we've

591
00:20:01,619 --> 00:20:02,888
added to this in the last

592
00:20:02,888 --> 00:20:04,723
fiscal year, the you actually

593
00:20:04,723 --> 00:20:06,358
got to see us work on her

594
00:20:06,358 --> 00:20:07,250
first projects was the culture

595
00:20:07,250 --> 00:20:08,759
of collaboration committee

596
00:20:08,759 --> 00:20:12,359
that we started where we work

597
00:20:12,630 --> 00:20:13,331
with other organizations who

598
00:20:13,331 --> 00:20:14,980
have really similar missions

599
00:20:14,980 --> 00:20:17,698
to us, but maybe perhaps just

600
00:20:18,436 --> 00:20:19,771
have a different focus in

601
00:20:19,771 --> 00:20:21,139
their charter. But really the

602
00:20:21,139 --> 00:20:23,740
end goal is the same. Whether

603
00:20:23,740 --> 00:20:25,276
we're talking about the

604
00:20:25,276 --> 00:20:25,977
Economic Council, main Street

605
00:20:25,977 --> 00:20:27,977
tourist development, the

606
00:20:30,181 --> 00:20:30,915
Chamber of Commerce, our end

607
00:20:30,915 --> 00:20:32,183
goal is all the same. And that

608
00:20:32,183 --> 00:20:32,850
is we want Okeechobee, the be

609
00:20:32,850 --> 00:20:35,453
the best place to come and

610
00:20:35,453 --> 00:20:37,689
visit to live and to do

611
00:20:37,689 --> 00:20:38,423
business. So we have been

612
00:20:38,423 --> 00:20:39,490
working really hard in the

613
00:20:39,490 --> 00:20:40,925
last year to make sure that we

614
00:20:40,925 --> 00:20:43,925
put together what's called a

615
00:20:44,529 --> 00:20:45,196
community service matrix. And

616
00:20:45,196 --> 00:20:47,132
that actually is something

617
00:20:47,132 --> 00:20:47,699
that came right out of the

618
00:20:47,699 --> 00:20:48,366
polycom study and the

619
00:20:48,366 --> 00:20:51,302
strategic plan that we had

620
00:20:51,302 --> 00:20:51,936
done with vision. First and

621
00:20:51,936 --> 00:20:52,637
actually in the visiting

622
00:20:52,637 --> 00:20:53,338
pursed, Terry probably knows

623
00:20:53,338 --> 00:20:55,840
this. He was on the original

624
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,840
group that did that. Actually

625
00:20:58,943 --> 00:21:00,110
called it the culture of

626
00:21:00,110 --> 00:21:01,378
collaboration While we've have

627
00:21:01,378 --> 00:21:02,246
completed the service matrix,

628
00:21:02,246 --> 00:21:05,983
the purpose of that is to make

629
00:21:05,983 --> 00:21:07,118
sure that no business visitor

630
00:21:07,118 --> 00:21:08,486
or resident falls through the

631
00:21:08,486 --> 00:21:09,221
crack it if they need help.

632
00:21:09,221 --> 00:21:12,221
Now we all have different

633
00:21:13,192 --> 00:21:13,892
services, of course. But we

634
00:21:13,892 --> 00:21:17,362
want to make sure on some of

635
00:21:17,362 --> 00:21:19,397
those projects. Certainly we

636
00:21:19,397 --> 00:21:20,970
could say that these perhaps

637
00:21:20,970 --> 00:21:22,434
the organization's work with

638
00:21:22,434 --> 00:21:23,601
some of those together and we

639
00:21:23,601 --> 00:21:25,270
want to make sure that we're

640
00:21:25,270 --> 00:21:25,804
all in the same page that

641
00:21:25,804 --> 00:21:27,506
we're communicating

642
00:21:27,506 --> 00:21:29,607
effectively. And again, that

643
00:21:29,607 --> 00:21:30,275
nothing, no one falls through

644
00:21:30,275 --> 00:21:30,942
the cracks in that everyone

645
00:21:30,942 --> 00:21:33,745
gets the services that they

646
00:21:33,745 --> 00:21:34,479
need. Of course, I've already

647
00:21:34,479 --> 00:21:35,613
alluded to the fact that we've

648
00:21:35,613 --> 00:21:38,783
been working a lot with Justin

649
00:21:38,783 --> 00:21:40,685
and Zach at the airport to

650
00:21:40,685 --> 00:21:41,353
support. Of course, the

651
00:21:41,353 --> 00:21:41,953
businesses that we already

652
00:21:41,953 --> 00:21:44,353
have their right. We're

653
00:21:45,424 --> 00:21:46,910
talking about the Army. One

654
00:21:46,910 --> 00:21:48,491
initiative that was really

655
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,262
important in this last fiscal

656
00:21:50,262 --> 00:21:52,230
year was we actually host of

657
00:21:52,230 --> 00:21:54,132
what we call an aviation

658
00:21:54,132 --> 00:21:55,300
roundtable. And that was

659
00:21:55,300 --> 00:21:56,670
industry specific event. I

660
00:21:56,670 --> 00:21:56,734
know if you if you were able

661
00:21:56,734 --> 00:22:00,934
to attend that and I I was

662
00:22:00,972 --> 00:22:01,673
happy to see you there. We

663
00:22:01,673 --> 00:22:04,142
spoke to every single tenant

664
00:22:04,142 --> 00:22:05,844
that you have currently

665
00:22:05,844 --> 00:22:06,678
existing I'd like to

666
00:22:06,678 --> 00:22:07,345
attendance rate was pretty

667
00:22:07,345 --> 00:22:08,120
high. We didn't necessarily

668
00:22:08,120 --> 00:22:11,120
have everyone there, but it

669
00:22:12,116 --> 00:22:13,251
was almost everyone. And so I.

670
00:22:13,251 --> 00:22:15,153
I've been wanting to do that

671
00:22:15,153 --> 00:22:15,887
for a long time. This is my

672
00:22:15,887 --> 00:22:16,621
6th year of being with the

673
00:22:16,621 --> 00:22:19,570
corporation. And so that was a

674
00:22:19,570 --> 00:22:19,691
full circle moment for me

675
00:22:19,691 --> 00:22:22,160
because I was just really

676
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,963
proud of how we were able to

677
00:22:23,963 --> 00:22:26,298
show the businesses out there

678
00:22:26,298 --> 00:22:27,198
that our community is a united

679
00:22:27,198 --> 00:22:29,100
front and that we're all

680
00:22:29,100 --> 00:22:29,701
working together to support

681
00:22:29,701 --> 00:22:30,401
the objectives and what

682
00:22:30,401 --> 00:22:31,269
they're trying to accomplish

683
00:22:31,269 --> 00:22:33,138
with their businesses out

684
00:22:33,138 --> 00:22:34,639
there. I thought that was a

685
00:22:34,639 --> 00:22:37,442
great event. Very thankful for

686
00:22:37,442 --> 00:22:38,743
the partnership with Justin

687
00:22:38,743 --> 00:22:40,412
and with Zach and I'm looking

688
00:22:40,412 --> 00:22:41,547
forward to how that is going

689
00:22:41,547 --> 00:22:42,347
to grow in the future,

690
00:22:42,347 --> 00:22:43,150
especially with the rural

691
00:22:43,150 --> 00:22:45,150
infrastructure dollars also

692
00:22:45,884 --> 00:22:47,520
happy to assist with that. And

693
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:47,719
then we've been also working

694
00:22:47,719 --> 00:22:50,119
side space, Florida. We've

695
00:22:50,889 --> 00:22:53,289
been working with Florida

696
00:22:53,591 --> 00:22:54,227
banks, Alex. It's on the crew

697
00:22:54,227 --> 00:22:54,860
source Heartland. Gordon,

698
00:22:54,860 --> 00:22:57,696
sounds like one of us is

699
00:22:57,696 --> 00:22:58,463
rotating back onto that. So

700
00:22:58,463 --> 00:22:59,197
we're going to continue to

701
00:22:59,197 --> 00:22:59,897
serve. We're going to continue

702
00:22:59,897 --> 00:23:02,701
to serve you in those ways in

703
00:23:02,701 --> 00:23:03,401
the future. And of course,

704
00:23:03,401 --> 00:23:05,404
listening to Alex in the back

705
00:23:05,404 --> 00:23:07,720
of my mind. Tell me that I

706
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:08,873
would be remiss if I didn't

707
00:23:08,873 --> 00:23:11,209
say that we are in the very

708
00:23:11,209 --> 00:23:11,777
early stages of bringing back

709
00:23:11,777 --> 00:23:14,177
to you, Chris Mustn't

710
00:23:17,482 --> 00:23:18,483
Okeechobee tbd on that.

711
00:23:18,483 --> 00:23:19,717
Course. Now this is one of my

712
00:23:19,717 --> 00:23:21,453
favorite things to talk about

713
00:23:21,453 --> 00:23:22,154
when it comes to business,

714
00:23:22,154 --> 00:23:22,988
retention and expansion. And

715
00:23:22,988 --> 00:23:24,823
that is making sure that we're

716
00:23:24,823 --> 00:23:26,958
engaging with our workforce

717
00:23:26,958 --> 00:23:29,940
and our future workforce. And

718
00:23:29,940 --> 00:23:31,630
one of the ways that we do

719
00:23:31,630 --> 00:23:31,696
that we technically have 2

720
00:23:31,696 --> 00:23:32,764
programs. We have touch a

721
00:23:32,764 --> 00:23:35,764
truck and then we have

722
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:36,702
Okeechobee junior leaders.

723
00:23:36,702 --> 00:23:39,404
This just such a special

724
00:23:39,404 --> 00:23:40,139
program to me. I could I could

725
00:23:40,139 --> 00:23:42,941
do a whole presentation on

726
00:23:42,941 --> 00:23:46,244
just this one alone. But this

727
00:23:46,244 --> 00:23:46,912
is the corporations program.

728
00:23:46,912 --> 00:23:47,613
And it's a historically we

729
00:23:47,613 --> 00:23:49,314
started in a partnership with

730
00:23:49,314 --> 00:23:50,115
the school district, but

731
00:23:50,115 --> 00:23:53,115
they've since allowed us to

732
00:23:54,530 --> 00:23:55,387
hold the baby, if you will.

733
00:23:55,387 --> 00:23:58,857
But this is a soft skills and

734
00:23:58,857 --> 00:23:59,491
workforce readiness program

735
00:23:59,491 --> 00:24:01,259
geared towards targeting

736
00:24:01,259 --> 00:24:04,162
middle school and high school

737
00:24:04,162 --> 00:24:06,231
students. This actually is a

738
00:24:06,231 --> 00:24:07,466
misprint. We had 79 students

739
00:24:07,466 --> 00:24:08,767
who graduated this program,

740
00:24:08,767 --> 00:24:10,369
which means we're actually

741
00:24:10,369 --> 00:24:11,200
almost at capacity were able

742
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,402
serve 80 students in the

743
00:24:14,339 --> 00:24:17,339
summer. So that was incredibly

744
00:24:18,109 --> 00:24:19,110
full circle for me. We had so

745
00:24:19,110 --> 00:24:20,579
many local partners that

746
00:24:20,579 --> 00:24:22,979
helped make this possible,

747
00:24:23,715 --> 00:24:25,317
whether they sent their staff

748
00:24:25,317 --> 00:24:26,217
opens their their business for

749
00:24:26,217 --> 00:24:28,253
the day, took time out of

750
00:24:28,253 --> 00:24:30,653
their schedule. And sent

751
00:24:32,910 --> 00:24:32,758
people to talk. I'm so

752
00:24:32,758 --> 00:24:33,525
thankful to you all we were

753
00:24:33,525 --> 00:24:36,228
able to highlight so many

754
00:24:36,228 --> 00:24:38,310
unique elements of the

755
00:24:38,310 --> 00:24:38,731
community of the county. Some

756
00:24:38,731 --> 00:24:41,667
of you were actually able to

757
00:24:41,667 --> 00:24:43,200
address the students directly

758
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:43,802
as government talking about,

759
00:24:43,802 --> 00:24:44,503
you know, what trends are

760
00:24:44,503 --> 00:24:48,103
going on. Thank you for your

761
00:24:48,107 --> 00:24:50,642
time on that. I'd also like to

762
00:24:50,642 --> 00:24:51,410
note that this is actually an

763
00:24:51,410 --> 00:24:53,410
incredibly expensive summer

764
00:24:57,116 --> 00:24:59,484
camp, but it is entirely

765
00:24:59,484 --> 00:25:00,318
supported by donations and

766
00:25:00,318 --> 00:25:02,318
sponsorship opportunities now

767
00:25:03,221 --> 00:25:03,856
known as Tony was in here

768
00:25:03,856 --> 00:25:05,856
before Children. Service

769
00:25:06,125 --> 00:25:09,227
Council gives the bulk of that

770
00:25:09,227 --> 00:25:10,196
that money. $28,000. But I

771
00:25:10,196 --> 00:25:13,310
think as far as the return on

772
00:25:13,310 --> 00:25:15,000
investment for program. It's

773
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,168
it's pretty incredible. The

774
00:25:16,168 --> 00:25:17,970
money and the partnership that

775
00:25:17,970 --> 00:25:18,570
businesses are willing to to

776
00:25:18,570 --> 00:25:22,170
give to us to make this

777
00:25:23,909 --> 00:25:24,910
happen. Again. I'm just going

778
00:25:24,910 --> 00:25:26,812
to leave you this year. We

779
00:25:26,812 --> 00:25:27,579
were really big on getting

780
00:25:27,579 --> 00:25:28,280
feedback from not just the

781
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,549
partners that the students as

782
00:25:30,549 --> 00:25:31,217
well. We're going to be

783
00:25:31,217 --> 00:25:33,419
sending you all newsletter

784
00:25:33,419 --> 00:25:34,619
soon. And we have some

785
00:25:34,619 --> 00:25:35,321
feedback directly from the

786
00:25:35,321 --> 00:25:38,157
students that we're going to

787
00:25:38,157 --> 00:25:39,258
share with you. But I think

788
00:25:39,258 --> 00:25:41,594
one of my board members said

789
00:25:41,594 --> 00:25:42,227
it best. You know, sometimes

790
00:25:42,227 --> 00:25:43,529
we're trying to quantify

791
00:25:43,529 --> 00:25:45,664
impact. But I think with this

792
00:25:45,664 --> 00:25:47,934
program, there MAY be some

793
00:25:47,934 --> 00:25:48,601
measures of im impacts that

794
00:25:48,601 --> 00:25:51,100
are unquantifiable, if you

795
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,940
will. And so I thank you for

796
00:25:54,940 --> 00:25:56,275
your partnership with this.

797
00:25:56,275 --> 00:25:58,912
Here's just a quick again. I

798
00:25:58,912 --> 00:26:00,145
like to include this slide 4,

799
00:26:00,145 --> 00:26:00,846
the external community. He's

800
00:26:00,846 --> 00:26:01,580
going to be looking at this.

801
00:26:01,580 --> 00:26:05,184
If you see any of these people

802
00:26:05,184 --> 00:26:05,918
in the community, give him a

803
00:26:05,918 --> 00:26:07,820
hug. Give my handshake for us.

804
00:26:07,820 --> 00:26:09,622
Tell him we're so thankful

805
00:26:09,622 --> 00:26:10,289
because without the people on

806
00:26:10,289 --> 00:26:13,289
the slides, we wouldn't be

807
00:26:13,292 --> 00:26:17,492
able to do it. I'd also like

808
00:26:17,763 --> 00:26:20,990
to note that it it is us.

809
00:26:20,990 --> 00:26:20,799
Technically the program is 16,

810
00:26:20,799 --> 00:26:22,268
half days. So while it feels

811
00:26:22,268 --> 00:26:24,803
like a lot of time, as for its

812
00:26:24,803 --> 00:26:25,705
actually quite short. Now, I

813
00:26:25,705 --> 00:26:29,305
didn't say that that time was

814
00:26:30,276 --> 00:26:31,100
an intense. But for 16

815
00:26:31,100 --> 00:26:33,410
half-days at $40,000 that we

816
00:26:36,115 --> 00:26:36,983
were are able to up locally

817
00:26:36,983 --> 00:26:37,683
find and source. I think

818
00:26:37,683 --> 00:26:40,683
that's an incredible our ally

819
00:26:41,353 --> 00:26:43,689
to the community. Moving right

820
00:26:43,689 --> 00:26:46,458
along our 3rd priority here.

821
00:26:46,458 --> 00:26:48,360
And I think this is another us

822
00:26:48,360 --> 00:26:49,940
certainly unique way that the

823
00:26:49,940 --> 00:26:51,130
corporation is able to support

824
00:26:51,130 --> 00:26:53,499
the community and the county

825
00:26:53,499 --> 00:26:57,990
is making sure that our sites

826
00:26:57,137 --> 00:26:57,771
are ready. For development now

827
00:26:57,771 --> 00:26:59,673
in economic development,

828
00:26:59,673 --> 00:27:02,730
there's several terms you'll

829
00:27:02,341 --> 00:27:05,941
hear shovel ready or or site

830
00:27:06,712 --> 00:27:07,379
readiness and that is

831
00:27:07,379 --> 00:27:09,615
incredibly important to the

832
00:27:09,615 --> 00:27:10,316
work we do. And I know that

833
00:27:10,316 --> 00:27:11,170
you all know that. But that's

834
00:27:11,170 --> 00:27:13,286
just, you know, just another

835
00:27:13,286 --> 00:27:15,323
know for the community when it

836
00:27:15,323 --> 00:27:17,690
comes to recruitment in a lot

837
00:27:17,690 --> 00:27:19,792
of cases, business retention

838
00:27:19,792 --> 00:27:21,127
as well. If businesses need

839
00:27:21,127 --> 00:27:21,794
more space, if we do not have

840
00:27:21,794 --> 00:27:25,394
a place to put them, they

841
00:27:26,966 --> 00:27:27,767
cannot come so the place

842
00:27:27,767 --> 00:27:28,501
making of site development is

843
00:27:28,501 --> 00:27:33,301
it is it is so crucial to what

844
00:27:33,872 --> 00:27:34,473
we do. There's several things

845
00:27:34,473 --> 00:27:35,107
in this time frame this

846
00:27:35,107 --> 00:27:37,376
quarter that we've been

847
00:27:37,376 --> 00:27:40,976
working on. It comes to that.

848
00:27:42,114 --> 00:27:42,648
We work very closely to stay

849
00:27:42,648 --> 00:27:44,648
also submitted riff

850
00:27:44,850 --> 00:27:47,850
application this year. One of

851
00:27:49,288 --> 00:27:49,889
our sites was awarded. Grant

852
00:27:49,889 --> 00:27:50,456
writing services from a

853
00:27:50,456 --> 00:27:52,910
company called of it

854
00:27:52,910 --> 00:27:52,725
Solutions. And so we were able

855
00:27:52,725 --> 00:27:55,125
to work hand-in-hand with

856
00:27:55,495 --> 00:27:57,895
them. They actually completed

857
00:27:59,650 --> 00:28:00,650
a Grant Matrix and I believe

858
00:28:00,650 --> 00:28:02,101
it's about 17, 17 or 18 for

859
00:28:02,101 --> 00:28:04,138
grants that they think that we

860
00:28:04,138 --> 00:28:04,805
could use for site

861
00:28:04,805 --> 00:28:07,573
development. And my hope is

862
00:28:07,573 --> 00:28:08,375
that we can take that list for

863
00:28:08,375 --> 00:28:11,975
the one site and really apply

864
00:28:13,460 --> 00:28:15,181
to all our sites. Even county

865
00:28:15,181 --> 00:28:16,916
and city sites. So I'm looking

866
00:28:16,916 --> 00:28:18,918
forward to sharing that

867
00:28:18,918 --> 00:28:20,586
information with your team in

868
00:28:20,586 --> 00:28:21,521
the future. Of course, we're

869
00:28:21,521 --> 00:28:23,723
at the tail and we are almost

870
00:28:23,723 --> 00:28:26,359
I'm looking at us. We're

871
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:27,126
almost done with our Web site

872
00:28:27,126 --> 00:28:29,529
and there is so many

873
00:28:29,529 --> 00:28:32,529
incredible tools on there that

874
00:28:33,332 --> 00:28:34,467
the community is able to use

875
00:28:34,467 --> 00:28:35,568
we get so many requests. I

876
00:28:35,568 --> 00:28:39,768
think this is unique. We get a

877
00:28:39,839 --> 00:28:41,774
lot of requests for data.

878
00:28:41,774 --> 00:28:42,742
Community data across various

879
00:28:42,742 --> 00:28:44,143
organizations. A lot of you in

880
00:28:44,143 --> 00:28:44,944
this room have even called me

881
00:28:44,944 --> 00:28:46,913
and asked if we have access to

882
00:28:46,913 --> 00:28:48,781
specific date on the business

883
00:28:48,781 --> 00:28:51,500
community. But we have some

884
00:28:51,500 --> 00:28:52,585
amazing tools on that website

885
00:28:52,585 --> 00:28:53,353
and some upgraded marketing

886
00:28:53,353 --> 00:28:54,530
collateral that I think will

887
00:28:54,530 --> 00:28:57,560
be very unique for us to use

888
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:57,824
in the future. One item of

889
00:28:57,824 --> 00:29:01,294
note for you on this room is

890
00:29:01,294 --> 00:29:01,995
that we have updated year

891
00:29:01,995 --> 00:29:04,395
airport map. There's there's

892
00:29:07,867 --> 00:29:08,568
one change that's pending. But

893
00:29:08,568 --> 00:29:09,935
it's interactive and actually

894
00:29:09,935 --> 00:29:10,703
shows where utilities are on

895
00:29:10,703 --> 00:29:14,303
the map and give some capacity

896
00:29:16,409 --> 00:29:18,445
guidance for that as well.

897
00:29:18,445 --> 00:29:19,746
I'll I'll leave with this for

898
00:29:19,746 --> 00:29:21,848
this slide that we are going

899
00:29:21,848 --> 00:29:23,483
to be updating the strategic

900
00:29:23,483 --> 00:29:24,451
plan that we have had done. If

901
00:29:24,451 --> 00:29:25,318
you look back historically,

902
00:29:25,318 --> 00:29:28,918
the polycom study was done and

903
00:29:29,489 --> 00:29:30,189
I believe 2018 of around about

904
00:29:30,189 --> 00:29:31,570
that time was when the vision

905
00:29:31,570 --> 00:29:33,893
first plan was done. And of

906
00:29:33,893 --> 00:29:36,293
course, that was post-covid.

907
00:29:37,697 --> 00:29:38,397
So we need to refocus and

908
00:29:38,397 --> 00:29:39,980
restructure post-covid impose

909
00:29:39,980 --> 00:29:41,935
x, y z. There's been so many

910
00:29:41,935 --> 00:29:43,837
challenges since that time.

911
00:29:43,837 --> 00:29:45,605
And so we are planning on

912
00:29:45,605 --> 00:29:46,272
redoing that and bring you

913
00:29:46,272 --> 00:29:49,272
some very fresh strategy at

914
00:29:51,210 --> 00:29:51,878
the end of the year. And

915
00:29:51,878 --> 00:29:53,246
again, I know a lot of this

916
00:29:53,246 --> 00:29:53,880
I've already discussed on not

917
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:54,614
necessarily going to read

918
00:29:54,614 --> 00:29:57,617
everything on the slide, but I

919
00:29:57,617 --> 00:29:58,284
do encourage you to actually

920
00:29:58,284 --> 00:30:01,884
is or just spend some time

921
00:30:02,789 --> 00:30:03,823
reviewing. This is also a

922
00:30:03,823 --> 00:30:05,658
misprint. This is quarter to

923
00:30:05,658 --> 00:30:06,326
activities. So this is, again,

924
00:30:06,326 --> 00:30:09,926
just kind of a snapshot of

925
00:30:10,300 --> 00:30:11,970
what we've been working on.

926
00:30:11,970 --> 00:30:13,132
And then, of course, for the

927
00:30:13,132 --> 00:30:14,467
public, this is probably my

928
00:30:14,467 --> 00:30:15,902
most requested slider, all

929
00:30:15,902 --> 00:30:16,636
same, perhaps maybe the most

930
00:30:16,636 --> 00:30:18,905
popular one, which is what are

931
00:30:18,905 --> 00:30:22,505
you working on? And this is

932
00:30:23,844 --> 00:30:25,460
just sort of a snapshot of the

933
00:30:25,460 --> 00:30:26,680
industry types. That's kind of

934
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,248
how I like to break it down

935
00:30:28,248 --> 00:30:28,881
and then, of course, the

936
00:30:28,881 --> 00:30:30,850
capital investment in the

937
00:30:30,850 --> 00:30:34,450
project to jobs that we see.

938
00:30:34,721 --> 00:30:35,890
From those projects right now.

939
00:30:35,890 --> 00:30:36,623
Now, I will say that since I

940
00:30:36,623 --> 00:30:39,192
put the slides together, we

941
00:30:39,192 --> 00:30:42,620
have since added to brand new

942
00:30:42,620 --> 00:30:43,596
active projects to the list.

943
00:30:43,596 --> 00:30:44,264
And both of those will be

944
00:30:44,264 --> 00:30:46,664
manufacturing. So the next

945
00:30:47,670 --> 00:30:48,335
time we come to see you will

946
00:30:48,335 --> 00:30:49,302
have a slight update on some

947
00:30:49,302 --> 00:30:49,970
of those the capital

948
00:30:49,970 --> 00:30:52,370
investment in the projected

949
00:30:55,242 --> 00:30:55,875
jobs. I didn't necessarily

950
00:30:55,875 --> 00:30:57,210
touch of them the slides

951
00:30:57,210 --> 00:30:58,211
earlier. But one of the other

952
00:30:58,211 --> 00:31:00,213
ways that we do support the

953
00:31:00,213 --> 00:31:03,213
county is as your state

954
00:31:05,652 --> 00:31:06,686
designated dto. We do respond

955
00:31:06,686 --> 00:31:07,420
commute to our fives for the

956
00:31:07,420 --> 00:31:09,820
community. So large businesses

957
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:10,723
looking at the state and

958
00:31:10,723 --> 00:31:13,123
they've inquired the state

959
00:31:14,194 --> 00:31:15,228
will send an rfi to all of the

960
00:31:15,228 --> 00:31:18,132
videos and all ideas that

961
00:31:18,132 --> 00:31:20,532
represent the communities are

962
00:31:20,834 --> 00:31:21,468
responsible for responding

963
00:31:21,468 --> 00:31:22,135
with a community packet.

964
00:31:22,135 --> 00:31:24,371
Essentially this is who we

965
00:31:24,371 --> 00:31:25,380
are. This is why she chooses.

966
00:31:25,380 --> 00:31:25,638
And these the sites that we

967
00:31:25,638 --> 00:31:28,380
think could serve that

968
00:31:30,745 --> 00:31:31,979
project. In this time. We've

969
00:31:31,979 --> 00:31:33,147
actually responded to 2 and I

970
00:31:33,147 --> 00:31:35,283
kind of like to break capex

971
00:31:35,283 --> 00:31:36,516
and the jobs out of those

972
00:31:36,516 --> 00:31:37,184
because, you know, sometimes

973
00:31:37,184 --> 00:31:39,720
we hear back from those and

974
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:40,955
sometimes we don't. But you

975
00:31:40,955 --> 00:31:43,590
MISS 100% of the chances that

976
00:31:43,590 --> 00:31:44,791
you don't take. So we like to

977
00:31:44,791 --> 00:31:45,626
always respond. So we are

978
00:31:45,626 --> 00:31:48,626
responding to rough eyes on

979
00:31:49,863 --> 00:31:50,597
the community's behalf.

980
00:31:50,597 --> 00:31:51,332
Questions about these before

981
00:31:51,332 --> 00:31:54,932
ago, one another kind of going

982
00:31:59,473 --> 00:32:00,140
fast. That's there's that we

983
00:32:00,140 --> 00:32:00,807
yet there we are. That's a

984
00:32:00,807 --> 00:32:02,375
U.S. Tonight. You can put a

985
00:32:02,375 --> 00:32:03,420
name with the face.

986
00:32:03,420 --> 00:32:06,420
>> Again, for those of you

987
00:32:06,847 --> 00:32:08,281
listening today. Even if you

988
00:32:08,281 --> 00:32:08,916
don't necessary, if if you're

989
00:32:08,916 --> 00:32:11,618
not a business owner, but

990
00:32:11,618 --> 00:32:12,686
perhaps, you know, one. We'd

991
00:32:12,686 --> 00:32:13,286
love to work with you. We

992
00:32:13,286 --> 00:32:13,887
don't we don't want any

993
00:32:13,887 --> 00:32:16,887
business is to get left

994
00:32:17,758 --> 00:32:18,592
behind. And we know it is.

995
00:32:18,592 --> 00:32:19,993
It's tough out there right

996
00:32:19,993 --> 00:32:20,660
now. And we know it's probably

997
00:32:20,660 --> 00:32:21,361
going to get tougher in the

998
00:32:21,361 --> 00:32:24,361
future. And that's why we're

999
00:32:25,865 --> 00:32:26,700
here. So I'd be happy answer

1000
00:32:26,700 --> 00:32:28,101
any questions. I was talking

1001
00:32:28,101 --> 00:32:28,868
about that particular side

1002
00:32:28,868 --> 00:32:32,468
earlier. But you can ask me

1003
00:32:32,972 --> 00:32:33,907
any questions you want.

1004
00:32:33,907 --> 00:32:34,742
>> MR. Completely off topic.

1005
00:32:34,742 --> 00:32:38,342
Did you reach out to MISS

1006
00:32:39,180 --> 00:32:39,747
Doubleday? I did.

1007
00:32:39,747 --> 00:32:40,448
>> There's one other

1008
00:32:40,448 --> 00:32:41,148
community. I told I didn't

1009
00:32:41,148 --> 00:32:41,749
want to take away the

1010
00:32:41,749 --> 00:32:43,749
opportunity for another

1011
00:32:45,318 --> 00:32:46,520
community, but I tell her I d.

00:32:51,425 --> 00:32:55,195

1019
00:32:56,730 --> 00:32:57,364
recommendation. We're always

1020
00:32:57,364 --> 00:32:58,640
happy to to represent the

1021
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,640
community in whatever way we

1022
00:33:04,104 --> 00:33:04,671
can.

1023
00:33:04,671 --> 00:33:05,438
>> Thank you is very

1024
00:33:05,438 --> 00:33:06,172
informative and a person. I

1025
00:33:06,172 --> 00:33:08,875
know some of the projects that

1026
00:33:08,875 --> 00:33:11,875
you're working on and which

1027
00:33:12,813 --> 00:33:14,615
ended a round table for

1028
00:33:14,615 --> 00:33:15,315
airport. And I think it was a

1029
00:33:15,315 --> 00:33:15,982
good turnout. And the people

1030
00:33:15,982 --> 00:33:18,618
other only got to know each

1031
00:33:18,618 --> 00:33:21,521
other. But they got to know

1032
00:33:21,521 --> 00:33:22,456
your staff and MISS Alexan and

1033
00:33:22,456 --> 00:33:25,456
some of the commissioners and

1034
00:33:25,826 --> 00:33:26,527
community members that there.

1035
00:33:26,527 --> 00:33:27,194
Let them know that that we're

1036
00:33:27,194 --> 00:33:29,960
concerned about it. And we

1037
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,165
appreciate what they So.

1038
00:33:31,165 --> 00:33:33,300
>> Think of how long, you

1039
00:33:33,300 --> 00:33:36,169
know, how that can really go a

1040
00:33:36,169 --> 00:33:36,836
long way for business of of

1041
00:33:36,836 --> 00:33:37,504
any size. Like I said, it's

1042
00:33:37,504 --> 00:33:38,138
getting hard out there. But

1043
00:33:38,138 --> 00:33:39,539
just knowing that you the

1044
00:33:39,539 --> 00:33:41,741
community behind you and that

1045
00:33:41,741 --> 00:33:42,576
they have a face and a a

1046
00:33:42,576 --> 00:33:44,444
direct phone number that they

1047
00:33:44,444 --> 00:33:46,580
can call if they have any

1048
00:33:46,580 --> 00:33:47,282
questions, even if it's not

1049
00:33:47,282 --> 00:33:48,583
necessarily relevant economic

1050
00:33:48,583 --> 00:33:50,618
development. I've got a lot of

1051
00:33:50,618 --> 00:33:51,352
really strange calls, but my

1052
00:33:51,352 --> 00:33:53,754
favorite thing to say when out

1053
00:33:53,754 --> 00:33:54,488
in the community is I MAY not

1054
00:33:54,488 --> 00:33:57,424
know the answer, but I bet you

1055
00:33:57,424 --> 00:33:58,258
I know someone who does so we

1056
00:33:58,258 --> 00:34:00,628
will. We don't want anyone to

1057
00:34:00,628 --> 00:34:02,597
to fall through the cracks.

1058
00:34:02,597 --> 00:34:04,498

the hangar development

1232
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:33,722
projects supporting additional

1233
00:40:33,722 --> 00:40:34,256
aviation investments and

1234
00:40:34,256 --> 00:40:34,956
long-term economic

1235
00:40:34,956 --> 00:40:36,956
development. Opportunities at

1236
00:40:40,950 --> 00:40:41,163
the airport. And summary

1237
00:40:41,163 --> 00:40:42,640

00:40:43,466 --> 00:40:45,466
growth through increased

1240
00:40:45,834 --> 00:40:47,602
revenue. Sources, strong

1241
00:40:47,602 --> 00:40:48,270
aviation activity,

1242
00:40:48,270 --> 00:40:48,871
infrastructure advancement,

1243
00:40:48,871 --> 00:40:50,871
compliance and private

1244
00:40:52,875 --> 00:40:53,575
investment. Okeechobee County

1245
00:40:53,575 --> 00:40:54,309
Airport remains focused on

1246
00:40:54,309 --> 00:40:56,709
maintaining safe and efficient

1247
00:40:58,130 --> 00:40:58,914
operations. While supporting

1248
00:40:58,914 --> 00:40:59,614
aviation demand and economic

1249
00:40:59,614 --> 00:41:01,614
development opportunities for

1250
00:41:03,180 --> 00:41:03,719
the community. This concludes

1251
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,200
my presentation. I'd be happy

1252
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,200
to answer any questions. The

1253
00:41:08,857 --> 00:41:09,591
board MAY have.

1254
00:41:09,591 --> 00:41:11,991
>> Questions comments from the

1255
00:41:13,995 --> 00:41:14,697
board CHAIRMAN. Yes, sir, did

1256
00:41:14,697 --> 00:41:17,697
did you finish procuring the

1257
00:41:19,868 --> 00:41:22,868
ground power unit? So looking

1258
00:41:23,672 --> 00:41:25,700
to just if we so commissioner

1259
00:41:25,700 --> 00:41:25,874
chime in on that. We actually

1260
00:41:25,874 --> 00:41:28,874
budgeted that into this next

1261
00:41:29,770 --> 00:41:30,712
budget year. To make sure

1262
00:41:30,712 --> 00:41:33,582
we're getting exactly what we

1263
00:41:33,582 --> 00:41:34,282
need. So we did read budget,

1264
00:41:34,282 --> 00:41:35,251
the 2 capital items that are

1265
00:41:35,251 --> 00:41:37,185
to be purchased this year

1266
00:41:37,185 --> 00:41:39,921
because, you know, with what

1267
00:41:39,921 --> 00:41:42,230
John he's had to take on we

1268
00:41:42,230 --> 00:41:42,958
want to make sure we're

1269
00:41:42,958 --> 00:41:45,358
getting the right equipment

1270
00:41:45,827 --> 00:41:46,528
exactly what they need. So

1271
00:41:46,528 --> 00:41:49,980
when pushed it, Henry budget

1272
00:41:49,980 --> 00:41:49,365
into this 27 budget year knows

1273
00:41:49,365 --> 00:41:50,266
it.

1274
00:41:50,266 --> 00:41:53,866
>> Was it also included with a

1275
00:41:55,170 --> 00:41:56,380
laugh unit. 2. We are at the

1276
00:41:56,380 --> 00:41:57,973
labs when the planes come in.

1277
00:41:57,973 --> 00:41:59,207
Are we already have site? Yes,

1278
00:41:59,207 --> 00:42:02,244
sir. Yes, sir. We have that

1279
00:42:02,244 --> 00:42:04,179
station.

1280
00:42:04,179 --> 00:42:04,847
>> On site. Last ground per

1281
00:42:04,847 --> 00:42:05,581
unit wasn't sufficient off,

1282
00:42:05,581 --> 00:42:08,717
right? It just didn't have the

1283
00:42:08,717 --> 00:42:09,384
power.

1284
00:42:09,384 --> 00:42:10,118
>> No, sir, not that's the

1285
00:42:10,118 --> 00:42:12,687
goal is to move to a different

1286
00:42:12,687 --> 00:42:13,322
type of system. We we both.

1287
00:42:13,322 --> 00:42:15,824
>> Are tug and our ground

1288
00:42:15,824 --> 00:42:16,726
power unit are both battery

1289
00:42:16,726 --> 00:42:18,594
operated, I think and I won't

1290
00:42:18,594 --> 00:42:20,562
speak exactly for John on

1291
00:42:20,562 --> 00:42:21,797
this, but I think the goal is

1292
00:42:21,797 --> 00:42:22,564
to both of those to go to

1293
00:42:22,564 --> 00:42:25,564
diesel or gas powered unit

1294
00:42:26,301 --> 00:42:27,335
said that we don't have that.

1295
00:42:27,335 --> 00:42:28,937
That long-term sit those

1296
00:42:28,937 --> 00:42:29,638
batteries. They didn't

1297
00:42:29,638 --> 00:42:32,140
literally. We were a year and

1298
00:42:32,140 --> 00:42:32,874
2 months and to the warranty

1299
00:42:32,874 --> 00:42:34,943
and it had a one year warranty

1300
00:42:34,943 --> 00:42:37,343
and it needed significant

1301
00:42:38,614 --> 00:42:39,348
amount work. We need to

1302
00:42:39,348 --> 00:42:40,480
replace battery Senate because

1303
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,885
it did not get used properly.

1304
00:42:42,885 --> 00:42:43,586
It wasn't large enough. You

1305
00:42:43,586 --> 00:42:46,321
know, we didn't find that out

1306
00:42:46,321 --> 00:42:47,230
till later on. But the new

1307
00:42:47,230 --> 00:42:48,791
purchase items both. And just

1308
00:42:48,791 --> 00:42:51,600
I want to make sure that I

1309
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,280
stay that both of those items

1310
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:53,662
were looking at like military

1311
00:42:53,662 --> 00:42:55,300
surplus type items, other

1312
00:42:55,300 --> 00:42:57,990
airports, surplus type items

1313
00:42:57,990 --> 00:42:57,767
because the significant

1314
00:42:57,767 --> 00:43:00,167
capital purchase price for

1315
00:43:00,569 --> 00:43:01,804
that is brand new are too

1316
00:43:01,804 --> 00:43:03,639
great for the airport. That's

1317
00:43:03,639 --> 00:43:05,141
why I think the previous

1318
00:43:05,141 --> 00:43:07,143
director purchased the battery

1319
00:43:07,143 --> 00:43:07,977
operated items. But I think

1320
00:43:07,977 --> 00:43:10,377
we've got great opportunities

1321
00:43:10,913 --> 00:43:13,913
to purchase some really good

1322
00:43:14,951 --> 00:43:16,951
inspected maintains items

1323
00:43:18,860 --> 00:43:19,321
through military surplus or

1324
00:43:19,321 --> 00:43:19,988
government surplus. And the

1325
00:43:19,988 --> 00:43:20,689
way, will that was my next

1326
00:43:20,689 --> 00:43:24,920
question is will ask, are you

1327
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,920
looking for good units that

1328
00:43:27,529 --> 00:43:28,697
airports MAY have.

1329
00:43:28,697 --> 00:43:29,364
>> Surplus powder. Yes, sir.

1330
00:43:29,364 --> 00:43:32,134
Or or even like, you know,

1331
00:43:32,134 --> 00:43:33,101
military or government time?

1332
00:43:33,101 --> 00:43:34,360
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. That was

1333
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:35,137
what was provided to the

1334
00:43:35,137 --> 00:43:36,105
previous airport director with

1335
00:43:36,105 --> 00:43:37,172
some of those items. That's

1336
00:43:37,172 --> 00:43:38,774
how we became came up with a

1337
00:43:38,774 --> 00:43:39,675
budget that was presented this

1338
00:43:39,675 --> 00:43:41,430
year.

1339
00:43:41,430 --> 00:43:41,710
>> But with the changeover, we

1340
00:43:41,710 --> 00:43:42,377
would we would like to push

1341
00:43:42,377 --> 00:43:44,146
that out to make sure we're

1342
00:43:44,146 --> 00:43:46,348
getting exactly what we need.

1343
00:43:46,348 --> 00:43:49,348
Thank you, sir. Thank you. 0,

1344
00:43:50,252 --> 00:43:52,252
1, other question is

1345
00:43:52,655 --> 00:43:55,424
>> full service truck? Is that

1346
00:43:55,424 --> 00:43:57,824
being will? Well utilized?

1347
00:43:59,628 --> 00:44:02,231
Yes, sir. Just want to make

1348
00:44:02,231 --> 00:44:04,567
one time when we got Another

1349
00:44:04,567 --> 00:44:06,702
airport director didn't think

1350
00:44:06,702 --> 00:44:08,472
we'd it will get much use. And

1351
00:44:08,472 --> 00:44:09,706
last I knew it was getting

1352
00:44:09,706 --> 00:44:11,540
used. It certainly isn't quite

1353
00:44:11,540 --> 00:44:12,808
a That's true. Due to the

1354
00:44:12,808 --> 00:44:13,542
flight school activity.

1355
00:44:13,542 --> 00:44:15,942
Apparently there's some flight

1356
00:44:16,646 --> 00:44:17,800
schools in the area that don't

1357
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:17,814
allow there.

1358
00:44:17,814 --> 00:44:18,714
>> can post a self-serve. They

1359
00:44:18,714 --> 00:44:19,448
acquired the full service. So

1360
00:44:19,448 --> 00:44:22,385
we're getting played some good

1361
00:44:22,385 --> 00:44:25,985
news out of. Thank you very

1362
00:44:28,291 --> 00:44:29,558

1363
00:44:29,558 --> 00:44:30,793
>> Thank you for the update.

1364
00:44:30,793 --> 00:44:31,460
We appreciate that. And John

1365
00:44:31,460 --> 00:44:35,600
there. You want to take the

1366
00:44:38,434 --> 00:44:39,135
next

1367
00:44:39,135 --> 00:44:41,535
>> Okay. This requests board

1368
00:44:42,805 --> 00:44:43,439
approval. Of the Second

1369
00:44:43,439 --> 00:44:45,839

Landing Strip cafe has

1374
00:44:54,383 --> 00:44:55,510
operated within the airport

1375
00:44:55,510 --> 00:44:56,686
terminal building since the

1376
00:44:56,686 --> 00:44:58,686
original lease became

1377
00:45:01,357 --> 00:45:01,958
effective and AUGUST 2021. The

1378
00:45:01,958 --> 00:45:03,259
restaurant provides an

1379
00:45:03,259 --> 00:45:05,659
important service amenity for

1380
00:45:06,329 --> 00:45:06,929
airport users. Tenants,

utilizing airport facilities.

1384
00:45:12,568 --> 00:45:14,504
The proposed Second Amendment

1385
00:45:14,504 --> 00:45:15,905
renews of the existing lease

1386
00:45:15,905 --> 00:45:18,905

1387
00:45:19,876 --> 00:45:21,876
beginning AUGUST. First 2026

1388
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:25,281

1389
00:45:25,281 --> 00:45:27,490
amendment maintains the

1390
00:45:27,490 --> 00:45:28,651
existing triple net lease

1391
00:45:28,651 --> 00:45:31,510
structure and establishes a

1392
00:45:32,321 --> 00:45:35,321
monthly base rental rate of

1393
00:45:37,159 --> 00:45:38,260
$3,400. We're 40,800 annually.

1394
00:45:38,260 --> 00:45:40,660
With a 3.5% annual escalation

1395
00:45:43,466 --> 00:45:44,667
during the renewal term.

1396
00:45:44,667 --> 00:45:46,667
Comparison, the current

1397
00:45:47,303 --> 00:45:50,303
monthly base rent under the

1398
00:45:52,174 --> 00:45:54,430
existing leases $2,691.40. As

1399
00:45:54,430 --> 00:45:56,146
part of the renewal process.

1400
00:45:56,146 --> 00:45:56,846
The tenant obtains an

1401
00:45:56,846 --> 00:45:58,948

appraisal prevailing market

1407
00:46:07,890 --> 00:46:09,890
conditions, historical

1408
00:46:09,892 --> 00:46:11,694
tendency, operational

1409
00:46:11,694 --> 00:46:12,562
considerations and the

1410
00:46:12,562 --> 00:46:13,950
airports obligation to

1411
00:46:13,950 --> 00:46:14,964

1412
00:46:14,964 --> 00:46:16,964
self-sustaining rental

1413
00:46:17,330 --> 00:46:17,734
structure and determining that

1414
00:46:17,734 --> 00:46:20,734
the proposed lease terms are

1415
00:46:21,504 --> 00:46:23,472
appropriate. The amendment

1416
00:46:23,472 --> 00:46:24,641
also updates several

1417
00:46:24,641 --> 00:46:25,342
administrative provisions

1418
00:46:25,342 --> 00:46:27,511

1422
00:46:32,649 --> 00:46:34,649
continuation of existing

1423
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:38,756
guarantee of occasions. In

1424
00:46:38,756 --> 00:46:40,456
summary, the proposed

1425
00:46:40,456 --> 00:46:41,591
amendment allows the airport

1426
00:46:41,591 --> 00:46:43,726
to continue providing a valued

1427
00:46:43,726 --> 00:46:45,561
restaurant service while

1428
00:46:45,561 --> 00:46:46,896

1429
00:46:46,896 --> 00:46:47,530

financial stewardship up

1431
00:46:52,402 --> 00:46:53,336
responsibilities. Staff

1432
00:46:53,336 --> 00:46:54,904
recommends approval of the

1433
00:46:54,904 --> 00:46:55,605
Second Amendment to the

CHAIRMAN To execute the

1438
00:47:03,579 --> 00:47:04,313
amendment. This concludes my

1439
00:47:04,313 --> 00:47:05,140
presentation. I would be happy

1440
00:47:05,140 --> 00:47:08,140
to answer any questions. The

1441
00:47:08,218 --> 00:47:10,218
board MAY have.

1442
00:47:11,420 --> 00:47:12,155
>> John, you said they did an

1443
00:47:12,155 --> 00:47:14,230
appraisal but honor rents. Why

1444
00:47:14,230 --> 00:47:14,924
wouldn't we just do

1445
00:47:14,924 --> 00:47:17,324
comparisons to the community?

1446
00:47:20,830 --> 00:47:22,310
What they're paying? I'm not.

1447
00:47:22,310 --> 00:47:23,166
>> It was entirely up to him

1448
00:47:23,166 --> 00:47:26,766
give me a minute before you

1449
00:47:27,370 --> 00:47:28,405
say no

1450
00:47:28,405 --> 00:47:29,105
>> and I understand when it

1451
00:47:29,105 --> 00:47:30,439
comes if to do the deal going

1452
00:47:30,439 --> 00:47:33,439
square footage, but you would

1453
00:47:34,445 --> 00:47:35,179
have to go to rest or it to

1454
00:47:35,179 --> 00:47:38,179
airports outside of the county

1455
00:47:38,281 --> 00:47:38,982
to get that. Comparison. And

1456
00:47:38,982 --> 00:47:41,284
we have an appraiser here in

1457
00:47:41,284 --> 00:47:42,180
the outer space. But I mean,

1458
00:47:42,180 --> 00:47:45,922
to know that if we talk apples

1459
00:47:45,922 --> 00:47:46,623
for apples Maine, we have some

1460
00:47:46,623 --> 00:47:47,290
landlords that did lease out

1461
00:47:47,290 --> 00:47:49,690
buildings for rescuers and

1462
00:47:49,793 --> 00:47:53,393
then. In a lot more dollars

1463
00:47:53,763 --> 00:47:55,732
than this.

1464
00:47:55,732 --> 00:47:57,934
>> Certainly the appraisal is

1465
00:47:57,934 --> 00:47:58,568
independent my apologies have

1466
00:47:58,568 --> 00:47:59,235
the name of the appraisal

1467
00:47:59,235 --> 00:48:01,635
company that performed the

1468
00:48:01,738 --> 00:48:04,400
service. But it was quite

1469
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,342
detailed did utilize several

1470
00:48:06,342 --> 00:48:07,310
comparable of restaurants.

1471
00:48:07,310 --> 00:48:09,946
Markets, things of that nature

1472
00:48:09,946 --> 00:48:12,946
and was off quite quite

1473
00:48:13,617 --> 00:48:14,317
appropriate for this.

1474
00:48:14,317 --> 00:48:16,519
>> We've we didn't get a copy

1475
00:48:16,519 --> 00:48:17,220
of that. Want to be able to

1476
00:48:17,220 --> 00:48:18,210
compare to say, but I just

1477
00:48:18,210 --> 00:48:18,621
don't understand would cut

1478
00:48:18,621 --> 00:48:21,158
weight on that wrist or

1479
00:48:21,158 --> 00:48:21,825
buildings. Everybody else in

1480
00:48:21,825 --> 00:48:25,425
the county pays a lot more

1481
00:48:29,832 --> 00:48:33,432
than this. MR. Nelson. So if

1482
00:48:35,238 --> 00:48:36,540
we required to make we can we

1483
00:48:36,540 --> 00:48:38,241
not go above that appraisal to

1484
00:48:38,241 --> 00:48:38,975
get it out. That's what the

1485
00:48:38,975 --> 00:48:39,642
market does. It have to be at

1486
00:48:39,642 --> 00:48:42,420
the appraisal understand it

1487
00:48:42,114 --> 00:48:43,147
can't be below it. Is there

1488
00:48:43,147 --> 00:48:45,783
any limitations is just can't

1489
00:48:45,783 --> 00:48:46,117
say charged, fair market

1490
00:48:46,117 --> 00:48:46,883
value.

1491
00:48:46,883 --> 00:48:49,883
>> Yes, sir. Restricted to a

1492
00:48:51,788 --> 00:48:52,522
cap of the appraised.

1493
00:48:52,522 --> 00:48:55,960
>> Dollar amount. We do have a

1494
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,895
cap of what we can charge on

1495
00:48:58,895 --> 00:49:01,895
the percentage wise of that

1496
00:49:02,799 --> 00:49:04,768
out. We try to stay within the

1497
00:49:04,768 --> 00:49:06,169
10% of the value of the land

1498
00:49:06,169 --> 00:49:06,770
and the land use annual what

1499
00:49:06,770 --> 00:49:08,705
they say that that that

1500
00:49:08,705 --> 00:49:11,740
property and that that land

1501
00:49:11,740 --> 00:49:11,774
uses. But yes, we are. We are

1502
00:49:11,774 --> 00:49:15,374
restricted by the faa on what

1503
00:49:16,147 --> 00:49:16,780
we can charge on top of the

1504
00:49:16,780 --> 00:49:19,180
total contract amount the

1505
00:49:19,316 --> 00:49:23,516
total price them out and and I

1506
00:49:24,521 --> 00:49:25,154
I will say chair that I saw

1507
00:49:25,154 --> 00:49:28,154
Raisel and it seemed very

1508
00:49:28,759 --> 00:49:29,659
efficient for what? What's of

1509
00:49:29,659 --> 00:49:32,629
surrounding and what they what

1510
00:49:32,629 --> 00:49:34,629
information was provided.

1511
00:49:35,699 --> 00:49:38,802
>> So what are they used for?

1512
00:49:38,802 --> 00:49:40,370
Cops? I can. I can. Did to the

1513
00:49:40,370 --> 00:49:43,370
use local restaurants and they

1514
00:49:43,607 --> 00:49:44,240
go to LaBelle to the airport

1515
00:49:44,240 --> 00:49:44,908
there? Because I'm asking

1516
00:49:44,908 --> 00:49:45,609
because I have been saying

1517
00:49:45,609 --> 00:49:47,110
that I don't know. But they

1518
00:49:47,110 --> 00:49:49,913
used yesterday they use both

1519
00:49:49,913 --> 00:49:50,381
surrounding restaurants within

1520
00:49:50,381 --> 00:49:51,849
the community.

1521
00:49:51,849 --> 00:49:53,151
>> I would have to look at I

1522
00:49:53,151 --> 00:49:53,984
remember every single comp

1523
00:49:53,984 --> 00:49:55,419
that was in there. But then

1524
00:49:55,419 --> 00:49:56,860
they also look at airports

1525
00:49:56,860 --> 00:49:58,860
adjacent airports airports

1526
00:49:58,889 --> 00:50:01,925
that are in the same economic

1527
00:50:01,925 --> 00:50:03,927
stewardship is type that we

1528
00:50:03,927 --> 00:50:06,163
are. So they look at those and

1529
00:50:06,163 --> 00:50:07,970
then they take those square

1530
00:50:07,970 --> 00:50:07,797
footage is and that's how they

1531
00:50:07,797 --> 00:50:09,466
adopt what the value is based

1532
00:50:09,466 --> 00:50:10,167
off of our square footage. And

1533
00:50:10,167 --> 00:50:12,200
then it's also based off of

1534
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,380
what the square footage

1535
00:50:14,380 --> 00:50:14,738
usages. And I will say that

1536
00:50:14,738 --> 00:50:17,138
they've added square footage

1537
00:50:18,876 --> 00:50:19,610
to this lease. Also from what

1538
00:50:19,610 --> 00:50:23,210
was in the previous said there

1539
00:50:23,246 --> 00:50:25,282
is actually outside of the

1540
00:50:25,282 --> 00:50:26,550
restaurant space. There is

1541
00:50:26,550 --> 00:50:28,185
more in this lease square

1542
00:50:28,185 --> 00:50:30,387
footage than we had in the

1543
00:50:30,387 --> 00:50:31,288
previous Lisa's. So there is

1544
00:50:31,288 --> 00:50:31,955
there's a little bit more

1545
00:50:31,955 --> 00:50:33,724
square footage showing and

1546
00:50:33,724 --> 00:50:34,424
that is just showing the use

1547
00:50:34,424 --> 00:50:37,424
outside of the restaurant as

1548
00:50:46,904 --> 00:50:48,205
as usable space. Town. We can

1549
00:50:48,205 --> 00:50:48,905
definitely mission that right.

1550
00:50:48,905 --> 00:50:49,540
And it's no fault of theirs.

1551
00:50:49,540 --> 00:50:50,240
But this is a guest, this

1552
00:50:50,240 --> 00:50:50,941
lease in the building at the

1553
00:50:50,941 --> 00:50:53,941
airport. This be cheaper than

1554
00:50:55,112 --> 00:50:56,180
anywhere else. But

1555
00:50:56,180 --> 00:50:58,883
>> I think some of that is

1556
00:50:58,883 --> 00:51:01,883
based off the criteria. The

1557
00:51:02,787 --> 00:51:03,453
the faa implements for usage

1558
00:51:03,453 --> 00:51:06,453
because they they wanted to

1559
00:51:06,690 --> 00:51:08,892
support aviation related. I'm

1560
00:51:08,892 --> 00:51:11,528
saying to them and claimants.

1561
00:51:11,528 --> 00:51:14,365
So they look at that. And that

1562
00:51:14,365 --> 00:51:16,500
is part of the criteria that

1563
00:51:16,500 --> 00:51:17,501
is required from the survey.

1564
00:51:17,501 --> 00:51:18,680
Also, is that what it does?

1565
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:18,769
What does it bring an

1566
00:51:18,769 --> 00:51:19,703
economically? And that's what

1567
00:51:19,703 --> 00:51:23,303
the faa wants to see. What

1568
00:51:23,340 --> 00:51:24,410
does that bring in to the

1569
00:51:24,410 --> 00:51:25,709
airport so that I think those

1570
00:51:25,709 --> 00:51:28,709
numbers are and that appraisal

1571
00:51:29,679 --> 00:51:30,414
figure so just just want to

1572
00:51:30,414 --> 00:51:31,820
put that out there, too. And I

1573
00:51:31,820 --> 00:51:32,820
will look at that appraisal

1574
00:51:32,820 --> 00:51:34,819
again. I'll get you a copy.

1575
00:51:34,819 --> 00:51:37,221
Thank you, Yes, sir. Most

1576
00:51:37,221 --> 00:51:39,621
pleasure. The board motion

1577
00:51:41,392 --> 00:51:43,327
approved second. And motion by

1578
00:51:43,327 --> 00:51:44,280
Commissioner good bread.

1579
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:44,895
Second by commissioner summer

1580
00:51:44,895 --> 00:51:46,730
to prove that 5 year

1581
00:51:46,730 --> 00:51:48,730
extension.

1582
00:51:49,866 --> 00:51:50,868
>> With numbers presented to

1583
00:51:50,868 --> 00:51:52,603
us all in favor say Aye. Aye,

1584
00:51:52,603 --> 00:51:53,270
all opposed. Nay motion

1585
00:51:53,270 --> 00:51:55,270
carries unanimously. Thank

1586
00:51:57,708 --> 00:51:58,442
you. John shares. Can we? We

1587
00:51:58,442 --> 00:52:00,677
have a long presentation next.

1588
00:52:00,677 --> 00:52:04,277
Can we take a short break?

1589
00:52:10,926 --> 00:52:11,360
Okay.

1590
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:12,940
Welcome back.

1591
00:52:12,940 --> 00:52:12,828
>> Sir, how are you today? I'm

1592
00:52:12,828 --> 00:52:15,828
fine. Thank you. Good morning.

1593
00:52:18,660 --> 00:52:20,236
Good morning. During the

1594
00:52:20,236 --> 00:52:21,237
budget workshop meetings, the

1595
00:52:21,237 --> 00:52:22,380
board provided direction

1596
00:52:22,380 --> 00:52:22,671
regarding various revisions to

1597
00:52:22,671 --> 00:52:25,710
the proposed General fund

1598
00:52:25,408 --> 00:52:26,576
budget.

1599
00:52:26,576 --> 00:52:28,576
>> Staff has incorporated

1600
00:52:29,512 --> 00:52:30,613
those revisions into fiscal

1601
00:52:30,613 --> 00:52:31,180
year 26. 27 proposed budget

1602
00:52:31,180 --> 00:52:33,180
for presentation and

1603
00:52:35,684 --> 00:52:37,653
consideration. Summary of

1604
00:52:37,653 --> 00:52:39,322
budget modifications includes

1605
00:52:39,322 --> 00:52:39,922
adjustments for Okeechobee

1606
00:52:39,922 --> 00:52:41,922
County Sheriff's Office

1607
00:52:42,191 --> 00:52:44,591
amended budget request was

1608
00:52:48,531 --> 00:52:49,198
decreased by 242,000, $371.

1609
00:52:49,198 --> 00:52:51,333
The Okeechobee County clerk

1610
00:52:51,333 --> 00:52:53,333
and comptroller's amended

1611
00:52:53,436 --> 00:52:55,836
budget request was decreased

1612
00:52:58,974 --> 00:53:00,543
by $32,971. Administration and

1613
00:53:00,543 --> 00:53:01,760
personnel expenses were

1614
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:02,645
updated to reflect

1615
00:53:02,645 --> 00:53:03,812
organizational structure

1616
00:53:03,812 --> 00:53:06,812
changes. And the addition of

1617
00:53:07,382 --> 00:53:08,116
the grants manager position

1618
00:53:08,116 --> 00:53:09,952
including salary allocations

1619
00:53:09,952 --> 00:53:11,587
worship duties and

1620
00:53:11,587 --> 00:53:12,254
responsibilities. Our county

1621
00:53:12,254 --> 00:53:14,654
administrator would like to

1622
00:53:14,791 --> 00:53:15,391
provide you with some

1623
00:53:15,391 --> 00:53:17,391
additional information.

1624
00:53:19,996 --> 00:53:20,629
>> Thank you, So personnel

1625
00:53:20,629 --> 00:53:22,629
within the administration

1626
00:53:24,366 --> 00:53:25,268
department. Only has with with

1627
00:53:25,268 --> 00:53:28,268
these changes in the grants

1628
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:32,107
manager position added has a

1629
00:53:32,107 --> 00:53:34,143
0.6% increase and this is due

1630
00:53:34,143 --> 00:53:37,143
to the allocations specific to

1631
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,830
the jobs. So we have certain

1632
00:53:40,830 --> 00:53:42,252
jobs depending on the amount

1633
00:53:42,252 --> 00:53:44,420
of responsibility for that

1634
00:53:44,420 --> 00:53:45,688
department allocated to other

1635
00:53:45,688 --> 00:53:47,756
funds to help offset some of

1636
00:53:47,756 --> 00:53:50,326
the costs. And the general

1637
00:53:50,326 --> 00:53:51,160
fund. So one of those is the

1638
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:53,560
grants manager position that

1639
00:53:53,964 --> 00:53:56,364
was recently added currently

1640
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:58,670
we have a vacancy in the ship.

1641
00:53:58,670 --> 00:54:00,670
Affordable housing position

1642
00:54:00,869 --> 00:54:01,538
and there was another creative

1643
00:54:01,538 --> 00:54:04,538
solution provided by one of

1644
00:54:04,774 --> 00:54:06,475
our staff members to shift

1645
00:54:06,475 --> 00:54:07,176
those responsibilities and to

1646
00:54:07,176 --> 00:54:08,677
the grants Department and for

1647
00:54:08,677 --> 00:54:10,446
the grants manager position.

1648
00:54:10,446 --> 00:54:13,416
So this does not increase or

1649
00:54:13,416 --> 00:54:13,883
decrease any pay grades. It's

1650
00:54:13,883 --> 00:54:15,784
just a shift in

1651
00:54:15,784 --> 00:54:17,784
responsibilities to grants

1652
00:54:17,887 --> 00:54:20,287
department within the grants

1653
00:54:20,990 --> 00:54:22,458
manager position and it helps

1654
00:54:22,458 --> 00:54:23,159
for succession as well. When

1655
00:54:23,159 --> 00:54:26,759
we do have a vacancy cause,

1656
00:54:26,896 --> 00:54:28,896
there's now 3. Personnel

1657
00:54:29,665 --> 00:54:32,665
within grants. You have the

1658
00:54:32,768 --> 00:54:33,469
strategic planning and Grant

1659
00:54:33,469 --> 00:54:34,136
administration director, you

1660
00:54:34,136 --> 00:54:34,804
have the grants manager and

1661
00:54:34,804 --> 00:54:36,739
then you'll have the grants

1662
00:54:36,739 --> 00:54:38,708
specialist. So currently ship

1663
00:54:38,708 --> 00:54:39,275
in affordable housing is

1664
00:54:39,275 --> 00:54:41,275
underneath community

1665
00:54:44,470 --> 00:54:45,810
development. Looking to be

1666
00:54:45,810 --> 00:54:47,481
classified. That position show

1667
00:54:47,917 --> 00:54:49,850
community development

1668
00:54:49,850 --> 00:54:51,485
coordinator again, no changes

1669
00:54:51,588 --> 00:54:53,923
in pay and job descriptions

1670
00:54:53,923 --> 00:54:54,591
will be provided at the next

1671
00:54:54,591 --> 00:54:56,591
meeting with further

1672
00:54:57,193 --> 00:54:59,193
information approval. So

1673
00:55:00,230 --> 00:55:02,264
that's part of minimal

1674
00:55:02,264 --> 00:55:05,350
increase in person now because

1675
00:55:05,350 --> 00:55:07,200
the grants manager position is

1676
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,402
allocated partially to the

1677
00:55:12,576 --> 00:55:13,176
ship fund, which is one 19. So

1678
00:55:13,176 --> 00:55:13,876
although we've added a

1679
00:55:13,876 --> 00:55:15,277
position we we've we've been

1680
00:55:15,277 --> 00:55:17,677
creative with the allocations.

1681
00:55:19,983 --> 00:55:21,117
So.

1682
00:55:21,117 --> 00:55:23,850
>> The revised budget revenues

1683
00:55:23,850 --> 00:55:25,485
have been updated to

1684
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:27,157
incorporate the 7.5, 0, 0, 0

1685
00:55:27,157 --> 00:55:29,557
millage rate recommended by

1686
00:55:29,825 --> 00:55:30,960
the board during the budget

1687
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:32,895
workshops and the updated

1688
00:55:32,895 --> 00:55:34,464
budget funds summary for all

1689
00:55:34,464 --> 00:55:37,464
funds has been updated to

1690
00:55:38,935 --> 00:55:39,502
incorporate fund revisions.

1691
00:55:39,502 --> 00:55:40,203
The audited financial

1692
00:55:40,203 --> 00:55:41,504

>> Board approval is required

1887
01:02:26,430 --> 01:02:28,120
to determine the fund, the

1888

millage rate for fiscal year

1889
01:02:31,810 --> 01:02:32,160
26. 27 for the trim notice

The proposed general fund

1894
01:02:38,989 --> 01:02:40,989
budget total is 89.0. 8

1895
01:02:41,992 --> 01:02:42,693
million which represents a 5.3

1896
01:02:42,693 --> 01:02:44,362
million dollar increase from

1897
01:02:44,362 --> 01:02:46,762
the fiscal year. 25 26 budget

1898
01:02:48,566 --> 01:02:49,668
or 6.3%. The general fund

1899
01:02:49,668 --> 01:02:52,680
proposed budget is balanced

1900
01:02:52,671 --> 01:02:54,639
with the millage rate of 7.5,

1901
01:02:54,639 --> 01:02:57,390
0, 0, 0, which is a decrease

1902
01:02:58,175 --> 01:03:01,175
in the millage rate of 3.9%.

1903
01:03:01,479 --> 01:03:03,448
The rate of 7.5, 0, 0, 0,

1904
01:03:03,448 --> 01:03:05,448
generates. 38.3 million in

1905
01:03:06,384 --> 01:03:07,385
taxes. The general Fund

1906
01:03:07,385 --> 01:03:09,385
reserves represent 37.5 1%,

1907
01:03:14,692 --> 01:03:15,427
which is above the 3 month. At

1908
01:03:15,427 --> 01:03:16,628
25%. The rollback weight while

1909
01:03:16,628 --> 01:03:17,696
neutral and revenue it

1910
01:03:17,696 --> 01:03:19,497
generates for the county will

1911
01:03:19,497 --> 01:03:20,698
still be a tax increase to

1912
01:03:20,698 --> 01:03:21,399
those properties whose

1913
01:03:21,399 --> 01:03:23,799
assessed value increased over

1914
01:03:24,235 --> 01:03:24,935
the prior year, even though

1915
01:03:24,935 --> 01:03:27,672
the board is not required to

1916
01:03:27,672 --> 01:03:29,607
capture that as such the

1917
01:03:29,607 --> 01:03:31,607
rollback rate generate 36.4

1918
01:03:31,876 --> 01:03:33,844
million in ad valorem revenue

1919
01:03:33,844 --> 01:03:35,980
with the current general fund

1920
01:03:35,980 --> 01:03:38,820
proposed budget. The reserves

1921
01:03:38,820 --> 01:03:40,820
would represent. 36.2 7% above

1922
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:43,788
the 3 month at 25%. Once the

1923
01:03:43,788 --> 01:03:45,623
trim notice millage is set.

1924
01:03:45,623 --> 01:03:46,223
The board MAY reduce the

1925
01:03:46,223 --> 01:03:49,223
millage, but it MAY not

1926
01:03:50,528 --> 01:03:51,195
increase the millage rate.

1927
01:03:51,195 --> 01:03:51,929
We've included, you know, a

1928
01:03:51,929 --> 01:03:53,898
great options for the board to

1929
01:03:53,898 --> 01:03:55,566
consider fur trim notice

1930
01:03:55,566 --> 01:03:56,701
purposes. Staff is

1931
01:03:56,701 --> 01:03:57,369
recommending that the board

1932
01:03:57,369 --> 01:03:59,404
adopt the tentative millage

1933
01:03:59,404 --> 01:04:00,205
rate for the general fund and

1934
01:04:00,205 --> 01:04:00,839
a tentative millage rate for

1935
01:04:00,839 --> 01:04:03,239
the law enforcement trust

1936
01:04:06,944 --> 01:04:08,944
fund.

1937
01:04:09,547 --> 01:04:10,281
>> Okay. Morden workshop

1938
01:04:10,281 --> 01:04:11,150
discussion. We had a consensus

1939
01:04:11,150 --> 01:04:15,215
of the board to go with a 7.5.

1940
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:19,120
Is that still? Your desires?

1941
01:04:24,262 --> 01:04:26,397
Yes, sir. It for me. Okay, We

1942
01:04:26,397 --> 01:04:28,700
want to set that and law

1943
01:04:28,700 --> 01:04:31,100
enforcement long for is 0.

1944
01:04:32,804 --> 01:04:34,239
Doing to us. It's interesting,

1945
01:04:34,239 --> 01:04:37,239
too, that law enforcement, ems

1946
01:04:37,308 --> 01:04:40,308
to use never been activated

1947
01:04:41,312 --> 01:04:44,312
And 7.5, the mileage on. Take

1948
01:04:44,982 --> 01:04:45,716
mission, which generates how

1949
01:04:45,716 --> 01:04:47,716
much?

1950
01:04:55,694 --> 01:04:56,394
>> 36 million, 354,000. 384.

1951
01:04:56,394 --> 01:04:58,794
>> 7.5. Know. So 5 38. I hope

1952
01:05:02,233 --> 01:05:04,633
to 67 7.73. You need emotional

1953
01:05:05,136 --> 01:05:08,136
MR. CHAIRMAN, we do. Make

1954
01:05:10,750 --> 01:05:12,475
motion we established mileage

1955
01:05:14,145 --> 01:05:14,812
rates for 2026. A 7.5 mileage

1956
01:05:14,812 --> 01:05:17,250
and the average warmth 0 on

1957
01:05:17,250 --> 01:05:20,850
the in this to you. Second.

1958
01:05:22,854 --> 01:05:24,689
Any further discussion. All in

1959
01:05:24,689 --> 01:05:25,357
favor say Aye. Aye, all

1960
01:05:25,357 --> 01:05:27,757
opposed nay motion carries

1961
01:05:30,328 --> 01:05:32,328
unanimous.

1962
01:05:33,464 --> 01:05:34,132
>> Okay. Muslims, your biggest

1963
01:05:34,132 --> 01:05:37,635
a matter of us here before

1964
01:05:37,635 --> 01:05:38,403
before you had chance to

1965
01:05:38,403 --> 01:05:39,103
speak. So I've been a few for

1966
01:05:39,103 --> 01:05:42,703
what I did. Told him believe

1967
01:05:49,114 --> 01:05:52,714
that go back. In Chief. Are

1968
01:05:59,424 --> 01:06:03,240
you taking the next one? Good

1969
01:06:03,495 --> 01:06:04,862
morning. Commissioners.

1970
01:06:04,862 --> 01:06:06,331
>> Here today to follow-up

1971
01:06:06,331 --> 01:06:07,320
from the Budget Workshop,

1972
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:08,533
y'all had asked that we come

1973
01:06:08,533 --> 01:06:11,533
back with a discussion on

1974
01:06:13,739 --> 01:06:15,941
Tyler Technologies and the

1975
01:06:15,941 --> 01:06:17,430
pros and cons on staying with

1976
01:06:17,430 --> 01:06:18,443
Tyler Technologies versus

1977
01:06:18,443 --> 01:06:19,111
moving to a different

1978
01:06:19,111 --> 01:06:21,511
direction. So past material

1979
01:06:33,825 --> 01:06:35,825
out real quick.

1980
01:06:57,883 --> 01:06:58,651
Spain.

1981
01:06:58,651 --> 01:07:01,651
>> The fact that there's one

1982
01:07:02,220 --> 01:07:02,988
inch froze and the page and a

1983
01:07:02,988 --> 01:07:05,988
half Thank thank you answers

1984
01:07:17,869 --> 01:07:19,869
or even.

1985
01:07:28,481 --> 01:07:29,215
>> Though, as a commissioner

1986
01:07:29,215 --> 01:07:31,550
summer alluded to, you can see

1987
01:07:31,550 --> 01:07:33,151
a distinct difference and the

1988
01:07:33,151 --> 01:07:36,221
list of pros versus list to

1989
01:07:36,221 --> 01:07:36,855
Cannes. And if you notice on

1990
01:07:36,855 --> 01:07:38,156
the on the list of pros,

1991
01:07:38,156 --> 01:07:41,156
there's also but behind each

1992
01:07:41,627 --> 01:07:42,361
one of those. Start with that

1993
01:07:42,361 --> 01:07:45,961
one because it's easier to get

1994
01:07:46,799 --> 01:07:48,833
through. The prose Tyler

1995
01:07:48,833 --> 01:07:50,970
technologies. And it's kind of

1996
01:07:50,970 --> 01:07:51,603
what they sold us on. I was

1997
01:07:51,603 --> 01:07:52,304
there when that when they

1998
01:07:52,304 --> 01:07:54,720
pitch to, you know, just like

1999
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:55,808
any other good salesperson,

2000
01:07:55,808 --> 01:07:59,311
they say a lot of good things.

2001
01:07:59,311 --> 01:08:00,646
But it does have an automated

2002
01:08:00,646 --> 01:08:03,248
e-mail system that sends a

2003
01:08:03,248 --> 01:08:05,216
went permits, ready or and and

2004
01:08:05,216 --> 01:08:07,185
he preached epicenter to the

2005
01:08:07,185 --> 01:08:08,219
contractors. But we are having

2006
01:08:08,219 --> 01:08:08,921
issues with that at sending it

2007
01:08:08,921 --> 01:08:10,455
to the wrong contractors for

2008
01:08:10,455 --> 01:08:14,550
the wrong subs. So that that

2009
01:08:14,793 --> 01:08:18,393
is up. If it was fully

2010
01:08:18,463 --> 01:08:19,431
functional, it would. It's a

2011
01:08:19,431 --> 01:08:20,990
potential pro that's not in

2012
01:08:20,990 --> 01:08:22,467
reality approach. So strike

2013
01:08:22,467 --> 01:08:23,869
that one from the list. So

2014
01:08:23,869 --> 01:08:24,603
Tyler also has online system

2015
01:08:24,603 --> 01:08:27,539
for contractors and members of

2016
01:08:27,539 --> 01:08:28,907
the public to be able to go on

2017
01:08:28,907 --> 01:08:29,608
and see what what's happening

2018
01:08:29,608 --> 01:08:30,243
with their permits versus any

2019
01:08:30,243 --> 01:08:32,243
other public information

2020
01:08:34,314 --> 01:08:36,282
permits. The flaw that one is

2021
01:08:36,282 --> 01:08:38,717
that you have to log in sign

2022
01:08:38,717 --> 01:08:41,586
create an account to request

2023
01:08:41,586 --> 01:08:42,922
that public information. So

2024
01:08:42,922 --> 01:08:43,789
people certainly can still

2025
01:08:43,789 --> 01:08:46,189
complete a public information

2026
01:08:47,626 --> 01:08:48,226
request via the just for you

2027
01:08:48,226 --> 01:08:49,610
per or any other of our

2028
01:08:49,610 --> 01:08:49,762
avenues. But get on this plan,

2029
01:08:49,762 --> 01:08:53,362
you have to create an account

2030
01:08:56,101 --> 01:08:58,303
with them. I guess this is a

2031
01:08:58,303 --> 01:08:58,971
is a pro that the the iPad

2032
01:08:58,971 --> 01:09:01,274
system that they have works

2033
01:09:01,274 --> 01:09:04,810
better than our one. Are flaws

2034
01:09:04,810 --> 01:09:07,214
with it. But it does work

2035
01:09:07,214 --> 01:09:10,814
better than the old system and

2036
01:09:11,250 --> 01:09:11,950
the GIs which I mean,

2037
01:09:11,950 --> 01:09:12,651
honestly, I have not use that

2038
01:09:12,651 --> 01:09:15,621
system, but I'm assuming it's

2039
01:09:15,621 --> 01:09:17,789
it's Google Maps. So most most

2040
01:09:17,789 --> 01:09:19,124
of the route options or uses

2041
01:09:19,124 --> 01:09:22,627
Google Maps or Waze, which is

2042
01:09:22,627 --> 01:09:23,329
the same technology. So with

2043
01:09:23,329 --> 01:09:24,630
that being said, there's the

2044
01:09:24,630 --> 01:09:27,630
good things that higher offers

2045
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:28,901
us. With Joe CHAIRMAN. Would

2046
01:09:28,901 --> 01:09:32,305
you like to go through all of

2047
01:09:32,305 --> 01:09:33,272
the negatives? Are? That if

2048
01:09:33,272 --> 01:09:33,872
it's ok with the board, when

2049
01:09:33,872 --> 01:09:36,975
we hit gave give us the

2050
01:09:36,975 --> 01:09:37,676
highlights year.

2051
01:09:37,676 --> 01:09:39,779
>> So the very large largest

2052
01:09:39,779 --> 01:09:41,814
issue we have with them is the

2053
01:09:41,814 --> 01:09:43,884
data conversion was not done

2054
01:09:43,884 --> 01:09:45,352
properly. And we have 80,000

2055
01:09:45,352 --> 01:09:47,786
plus permits that are listed

2056
01:09:47,786 --> 01:09:50,689
under legacy data that didn't

2057
01:09:50,689 --> 01:09:51,557
translate properly. So anytime

2058
01:09:51,557 --> 01:09:53,792
we go to deal with a property

2059
01:09:53,792 --> 01:09:54,827
that has one of those permits.

2060
01:09:54,827 --> 01:09:58,427
There's a lot of manual data

2061
01:09:58,798 --> 01:10:01,198
entry sometimes missed data

2062
01:10:02,501 --> 01:10:03,603
entry that we're dealing with.

2063
01:10:03,603 --> 01:10:05,471
We are still in the process of

2064
01:10:05,471 --> 01:10:06,839
trying to get that worked out

2065
01:10:06,839 --> 01:10:07,539
to some direction that

2066
01:10:07,539 --> 01:10:08,273
Commissioner Burrows gave us.

2067
01:10:08,273 --> 01:10:09,842
We're working with them to try

2068
01:10:09,842 --> 01:10:11,243
to solve some of those

2069
01:10:11,243 --> 01:10:11,878
problems. But we don't have an

2070
01:10:11,878 --> 01:10:14,480
end in sight for that. We

2071
01:10:14,480 --> 01:10:15,114
don't have a we're going to be

2072
01:10:15,114 --> 01:10:15,814
done in 3 months or we're

2073
01:10:15,814 --> 01:10:19,180
going to be done in 6 months

2074
01:10:19,180 --> 01:10:19,652
or 2 years. There's no end in

2075
01:10:19,652 --> 01:10:22,652
sight or even a potential

2076
01:10:22,988 --> 01:10:25,988
resolution yet from Tyler one

2077
01:10:26,725 --> 01:10:27,627
of other issues we have just

2078
01:10:27,627 --> 01:10:30,270
recently found is Tyler,

2079
01:10:30,396 --> 01:10:31,763
doesn't it lacks the ability

2080
01:10:31,763 --> 01:10:32,564
to give credits to a bill. So

2081
01:10:32,564 --> 01:10:33,900
if someone has an invoice and

2082
01:10:33,900 --> 01:10:36,300
they've already paid certain

2083
01:10:37,570 --> 01:10:38,637
amounts, we can't credit that

2084
01:10:38,637 --> 01:10:39,338
back. So that's that's a

2085
01:10:39,338 --> 01:10:39,972
process that we're trying to

2086
01:10:39,972 --> 01:10:43,420
get them to correct as we

2087
01:10:43,420 --> 01:10:44,310
speak. And that to their

2088
01:10:44,310 --> 01:10:47,910
defense that came up about a

2089
01:10:48,481 --> 01:10:49,515
week and a half ago. That's

2090
01:10:49,515 --> 01:10:50,182
not something that they

2091
01:10:50,182 --> 01:10:51,985
haven't fixed yet. You but

2092
01:10:51,985 --> 01:10:52,953
you'll see on this list. There

2093
01:10:52,953 --> 01:10:54,454
are things that we have asked

2094
01:10:54,454 --> 01:10:57,423
for and been working for

2095
01:10:57,423 --> 01:10:59,124
toward for months to get a

2096
01:10:59,124 --> 01:11:02,124
resolution with with no, no

2097
01:11:02,128 --> 01:11:04,128
luck.

2098
01:11:05,264 --> 01:11:06,565
>> Is so Mr? CHAIRMAN? Yes,

2099
01:11:06,565 --> 01:11:07,233
sir. It particular issue you

2100
01:11:07,233 --> 01:11:10,233
just talked about. Is that

2101
01:11:11,871 --> 01:11:12,571
something? It's so. Is a

2102
01:11:12,571 --> 01:11:13,606
product of the system that's

2103
01:11:13,606 --> 01:11:16,600
supposed to be working

2104
01:11:16,909 --> 01:11:17,209
correctly or is that something

2105
01:11:17,209 --> 01:11:17,944
that?

2106
01:11:17,944 --> 01:11:20,944
>> And it's not something that

2107
01:11:22,140 --> 01:11:23,216
we were sold on, that it would

2108
01:11:23,216 --> 01:11:24,850
that. Speaking of mistress

2109
01:11:24,850 --> 01:11:25,518
Ayres, I couldn't fathom a

2110
01:11:25,518 --> 01:11:27,918
system that bills customers

2111
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:28,654
that doesn't issue credit. So

2112
01:11:28,654 --> 01:11:30,856
I can say that they told us it

2113
01:11:30,856 --> 01:11:32,124
would do it and doesn't we

2114
01:11:32,124 --> 01:11:32,858
just something we just

2115
01:11:32,858 --> 01:11:35,161
recently learned that we

2116
01:11:35,161 --> 01:11:37,663
needed to do and it doesn't

2117
01:11:37,663 --> 01:11:38,965
provide that service has as of

2118
01:11:38,965 --> 01:11:39,632
today. That answers the

2119
01:11:39,632 --> 01:11:40,333
question. So that obviously

2120
01:11:40,333 --> 01:11:43,333
didn't do it. Start correct.

2121
01:11:48,308 --> 01:11:49,420
Okay. Which is a problem.

2122
01:11:49,420 --> 01:11:52,445
You'll see a lot of the things

2123
01:11:52,445 --> 01:11:53,546
in here that require staff to

2124
01:11:53,546 --> 01:11:55,946
duplicate efforts because the

2125
01:11:57,830 --> 01:11:58,618
system doesn't integrate of.

2126
01:11:58,618 --> 01:12:00,530
And I won't say that they told

2127
01:12:00,530 --> 01:12:00,654
us that would do every one of

2128
01:12:00,654 --> 01:12:03,540
these things because we

2129
01:12:04,157 --> 01:12:06,920
probably didn't ask because

2130
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:06,826
and that MAY be something not

2131
01:12:06,826 --> 01:12:07,460
maybe it will be something we

2132
01:12:07,460 --> 01:12:10,950
look at moving forward on

2133
01:12:10,950 --> 01:12:10,764
having a little bit better.

2134
01:12:10,764 --> 01:12:14,134
>> Idea of what we need to

2135
01:12:14,134 --> 01:12:14,801
ask. You know, at the time

2136
01:12:14,801 --> 01:12:17,103
only knew what what we knew

2137
01:12:17,103 --> 01:12:17,804
about the system. We had. So

2138
01:12:17,804 --> 01:12:21,241
we didn't know the things to

2139
01:12:21,241 --> 01:12:21,874
ask and and moving forward.

2140
01:12:21,874 --> 01:12:24,430
We'll do a little bit of

2141
01:12:24,430 --> 01:12:25,100
research on what it what it

2142
01:12:25,100 --> 01:12:25,712
should offer.

2143
01:12:25,712 --> 01:12:26,412
>> And now we also have a lot

2144
01:12:26,412 --> 01:12:30,120
better idea of what what this

2145
01:12:31,383 --> 01:12:32,251
system doesn't do. So just the

2146
01:12:32,251 --> 01:12:34,320
simple things I was talking to

2147
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:36,422
my far Marshall chief Brig off

2148
01:12:36,422 --> 01:12:37,223
this morning when he goes in

2149
01:12:37,223 --> 01:12:39,425
and does a review of a of a

2150
01:12:39,425 --> 01:12:40,593
plan he has to.

2151
01:12:40,593 --> 01:12:42,993
>> Just a quick, 3 different

2152
01:12:44,300 --> 01:12:44,764
buttons just to submit it. And

2153
01:12:44,764 --> 01:12:46,599
it sounds simple. You know, to

2154
01:12:46,599 --> 01:12:47,266
click, click, 3 buttons and if

2155
01:12:47,266 --> 01:12:49,502
you're sitting at your desk

2156
01:12:49,502 --> 01:12:50,603
and you've got nothing to do

2157
01:12:50,603 --> 01:12:51,570
and you remember to do the 3

2158
01:12:51,570 --> 01:12:53,105
buttons, that's fine. If you

2159
01:12:53,105 --> 01:12:53,806
don't do it, all of the stuff

2160
01:12:53,806 --> 01:12:54,540
you've done is gone. It's not

2161
01:12:54,540 --> 01:12:57,677
saved. You have to go back and

2162
01:12:57,677 --> 01:12:59,879
redo that. So that's those

2163
01:12:59,879 --> 01:13:01,948
little things. The blue beam.

2164
01:13:01,948 --> 01:13:02,882
Which is how we do plan

2165
01:13:02,882 --> 01:13:04,951
review. It's supposed to

2166
01:13:04,951 --> 01:13:07,870
seamlessly integrate with the

2167
01:13:07,870 --> 01:13:08,121
software and it doesn't. So we

2168
01:13:08,121 --> 01:13:09,623
have to download the plans,

2169
01:13:09,623 --> 01:13:12,623
reviewed the plans stand the

2170
01:13:13,930 --> 01:13:13,760
plans, upload the plans to end

2171
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:16,290
to get it all to submit as

2172
01:13:16,290 --> 01:13:16,696
opposed to what what we were

2173
01:13:16,696 --> 01:13:18,497
sold on that was that they

2174
01:13:18,497 --> 01:13:19,980
would be able to do the online

2175
01:13:19,980 --> 01:13:21,498
plan review through the

2176
01:13:27,741 --> 01:13:28,975
system. A lot of a lot of

2177
01:13:28,975 --> 01:13:29,675
words to say. And I don't

2178
01:13:29,675 --> 01:13:32,279
think it's a big surprise to

2179
01:13:32,279 --> 01:13:34,747
me. All the staff is not

2180
01:13:34,747 --> 01:13:35,782
pleased with with the product

2181
01:13:35,782 --> 01:13:36,415
or the service, specifically

2182
01:13:36,415 --> 01:13:38,618
the service that we have

2183
01:13:38,618 --> 01:13:41,221
gotten from Tyler spent quite

2184
01:13:41,221 --> 01:13:42,956
a bit of time talking to

2185
01:13:42,956 --> 01:13:45,956
mistress Ayres and the county

2186
01:13:45,959 --> 01:13:46,892
attorney on our options and we

2187
01:13:46,892 --> 01:13:47,594
have what we have come to

2188
01:13:47,594 --> 01:13:48,494
realize is that our contract

2189
01:13:48,494 --> 01:13:50,894
expires this upcoming fiscal

2190
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:54,500
year. So one of the options

2191
01:13:54,500 --> 01:13:55,234
and maybe our best option to

2192
01:13:55,234 --> 01:13:58,405
give us time to find something

2193
01:13:58,405 --> 01:13:59,105
will be to just stay with them

2194
01:13:59,105 --> 01:14:02,105
through the remainder of this

2195
01:14:02,675 --> 01:14:03,376
contract. And also start

2196
01:14:03,376 --> 01:14:04,110
looking for another product.

2197
01:14:04,110 --> 01:14:07,110
If that's direction, the other

2198
01:14:07,480 --> 01:14:09,149
side to go.

2199
01:14:09,149 --> 01:14:09,449
>> it it ends on SEPTEMBER.

2200
01:14:09,449 --> 01:14:11,449
30th.

2201
01:14:12,351 --> 01:14:14,320
>> No, sir, we are in our 3rd

2202
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:16,623
year of the contract. There's

2203
01:14:16,623 --> 01:14:19,623
some debate. On the contract

2204
01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:24,280
was signed on FEBRUARY Sorry,

2205
01:14:25,131 --> 01:14:26,433
FEBRUARY, 22nd So it. That is

2206
01:14:26,433 --> 01:14:28,902
3 years. We didn't make our

2207
01:14:28,902 --> 01:14:29,569
first payment until JUNE. So

2208
01:14:29,569 --> 01:14:31,138
there could be some debate

2209
01:14:31,138 --> 01:14:34,138
over whether the 3 year starts

2210
01:14:35,776 --> 01:14:36,510
in FEBRUARY or JUNE. Yes,

2211
01:14:36,510 --> 01:14:38,510
ma'am.

2212
01:14:38,645 --> 01:14:40,580
>> For the contract, the

2213
01:14:40,580 --> 01:14:41,481
effective date is upon both

2214
01:14:41,481 --> 01:14:43,283
parties signing in the latter

2215
01:14:43,283 --> 01:14:46,283
date of the signature, which

2216
01:14:46,419 --> 01:14:47,320
would have been FEBRUARY 22nd

2217
01:14:47,320 --> 01:14:49,456
2024, the attorney raised, you

2218
01:14:49,456 --> 01:14:50,790
know, something to consider,

2219
01:14:50,790 --> 01:14:51,525
but for the contract, the

2220
01:14:51,525 --> 01:14:52,593
effective date is based on the

2221
01:14:52,593 --> 01:14:54,593
signature.

2222
01:14:57,397 --> 01:14:58,640
>> So it's FEBRUARY. But yes,

2223
01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:01,640
that's correct. The on the

2224
01:15:01,334 --> 01:15:04,334
concern was that. Tyler Maye.

2225
01:15:06,730 --> 01:15:09,673
Pushed back. And want to defer

2226
01:15:09,743 --> 01:15:10,577
to the JUNE date. But either

2227
01:15:10,577 --> 01:15:11,278
way fixing. Coming security

2228
01:15:11,278 --> 01:15:14,278
contractors in the second or

2229
01:15:14,581 --> 01:15:16,316
the last party. So we made it

2230
01:15:16,316 --> 01:15:17,618
payment before we signed the

2231
01:15:17,618 --> 01:15:20,288
contract you know that so we

2232
01:15:20,288 --> 01:15:21,722
be extended JUNE. It can't be

2233
01:15:21,722 --> 01:15:22,622
terminated. Last JUNE. It

2234
01:15:22,622 --> 01:15:24,240
would be longer than FEBRUARY

2235
01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:24,858
saying that they MAY want to

2236
01:15:24,858 --> 01:15:25,592
hold her feet to the fire and

2237
01:15:25,592 --> 01:15:25,926
make us pay for FEBRUARY

2238
01:15:25,926 --> 01:15:27,926
login.

2239
01:15:30,364 --> 01:15:31,310
>> Chair.

2240
01:15:31,310 --> 01:15:33,431
>> The weather is FEBRUARY

2241
01:15:34,501 --> 01:15:36,350
agenda cost would be the But

2242
01:15:36,350 --> 01:15:36,737
the third-year feet would

2243
01:15:36,737 --> 01:15:38,380
still be the $80,000. Jim, we

2244
01:15:38,380 --> 01:15:38,906
just give a little more time

2245
01:15:38,906 --> 01:15:41,906
to yes, that's correct. A

2246
01:15:41,908 --> 01:15:43,377
potentially answer. So that's

2247
01:15:43,377 --> 01:15:44,344
assuming they would push. I'm

2248
01:15:44,344 --> 01:15:46,744
sorry. That's that's assuming

2249
01:15:48,470 --> 01:15:49,482
they would push back. But the

2250
01:15:49,482 --> 01:15:50,918
issue is that when 2 people

2251
01:15:50,918 --> 01:15:51,585
sign a contract on whatever

2252
01:15:51,585 --> 01:15:52,219
day that the contract says,

2253
01:15:52,219 --> 01:15:53,487
that's the date that the

2254
01:15:53,487 --> 01:15:54,121
contract is initiated.

2255
01:15:54,121 --> 01:15:57,121
>> So why would they push

2256
01:15:58,250 --> 01:15:58,759
back?

2257
01:15:58,759 --> 01:16:02,359
>> The only reason I could see

2258
01:16:03,530 --> 01:16:05,332
for that would be. Really just

2259
01:16:05,332 --> 01:16:06,320
day. They MAY take the

2260
01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:06,733
interpretation that there was

2261
01:16:06,733 --> 01:16:09,733
no about contract until there

2262
01:16:11,571 --> 01:16:12,172
was payment man I. Language of

2263
01:16:12,172 --> 01:16:14,572
the contract speaks for

2264
01:16:15,609 --> 01:16:16,710
itself. This is just a but

2265
01:16:16,710 --> 01:16:18,612
consider of consideration

2266
01:16:18,612 --> 01:16:20,580
point of consideration was

2267
01:16:20,580 --> 01:16:22,549
made when we were not informed

2268
01:16:22,549 --> 01:16:24,585
yet on when the last if the

2269
01:16:24,585 --> 01:16:25,652
3rd year payment was made. So

2270
01:16:25,652 --> 01:16:28,388
have we made the payment for

2271
01:16:28,388 --> 01:16:29,289
this 3rd year cycle that we're

2272
01:16:29,289 --> 01:16:30,900
in.

2273
01:16:30,900 --> 01:16:31,325
>> Of the 80,000 to most

2274
01:16:31,325 --> 01:16:34,925
recent payment was in MAY of

2275
01:16:35,830 --> 01:16:37,731
26 prefer 80,000. Okay.

2276
01:16:37,731 --> 01:16:38,399
>> So we've we've paid the 3,

2277
01:16:38,399 --> 01:16:39,990
3, years and that and that

2278
01:16:39,990 --> 01:16:41,935
really we haven't known paid

2279
01:16:41,935 --> 01:16:42,703
in arrears.

2280
01:16:42,703 --> 01:16:45,103
>> No, we last year's 80,000.

2281
01:16:45,372 --> 01:16:48,372
I didn't pay until they

2282
01:16:49,143 --> 01:16:50,100
started fiction. Some stuff we

2283
01:16:50,100 --> 01:16:52,779
finally got to some agreement

2284
01:16:52,779 --> 01:16:55,115
and pay that one. But we for

2285
01:16:55,115 --> 01:16:55,916
the current and the

2286
01:16:55,916 --> 01:16:58,316
maintenance, again, we've been

2287
01:16:58,785 --> 01:17:00,821
debating when that should

2288
01:17:00,821 --> 01:17:01,855
start. I think last we

2289
01:17:01,855 --> 01:17:02,856
discussed was maybe having to

2290
01:17:02,856 --> 01:17:03,590
start in MAY, so go through

2291
01:17:03,590 --> 01:17:07,270
MAY of next year, but we so we

2292
01:17:07,270 --> 01:17:07,694
$80,000. If we shut off the

2293
01:17:07,694 --> 01:17:09,162
service today because we're

2294
01:17:09,162 --> 01:17:11,162
bound by contract.

2295
01:17:11,465 --> 01:17:14,465
>> And that's in this current

2296
01:17:14,635 --> 01:17:15,269
budget. You're budgeted.

2297
01:17:15,269 --> 01:17:17,269
>> There's no performance

2298
01:17:17,838 --> 01:17:20,838
agreement. We don't have an

2299
01:17:20,874 --> 01:17:21,575
argument.

2300
01:17:21,575 --> 01:17:24,575
>> Let the attorney can take

2301
01:17:26,480 --> 01:17:27,481
to the agreement requires in

2302
01:17:27,481 --> 01:17:30,484
the event that we would like

2303
01:17:30,484 --> 01:17:33,187
to terminate for breach that

2304
01:17:33,187 --> 01:17:36,187
we engage in a dispute

2305
01:17:36,190 --> 01:17:38,190
resolution process which

2306
01:17:38,392 --> 01:17:39,126
requires notice of what the

2307
01:17:39,126 --> 01:17:42,126
alleged breach is certainly be

2308
01:17:43,931 --> 01:17:45,566
this list. And then within 30

2309
01:17:45,566 --> 01:17:48,566
days of Tyler's receipt of

2310
01:17:49,770 --> 01:17:50,471
that notice. Both parties,

2311
01:17:50,471 --> 01:17:53,471
meaning the county and Tyler

2312
01:17:54,241 --> 01:17:54,942
have to convene their

2313
01:17:54,942 --> 01:17:57,342
representatives to attempt to

2314
01:18:00,214 --> 01:18:01,114
find a resolution. Is

2315
01:18:01,114 --> 01:18:01,682
unsuccessful. We are then

2316
01:18:01,682 --> 01:18:04,820
required to submit to

2317
01:18:06,386 --> 01:18:07,540
mediation. If mediation is

2318
01:18:07,540 --> 01:18:09,322
unsuccessful, we could then

2319
01:18:09,322 --> 01:18:10,230
move forward with either

2320
01:18:10,230 --> 01:18:12,423
termination of the contract.

2321
01:18:12,793 --> 01:18:15,193
If both parties agree.

2322
01:18:15,963 --> 01:18:16,664
>> Or

2323
01:18:16,664 --> 01:18:17,297
>> towards litigation, it is

2324
01:18:17,297 --> 01:18:20,297
just the longer and more

2325
01:18:20,901 --> 01:18:23,301
expensive process. Then then

2326
01:18:23,971 --> 01:18:24,271
we're in FEBRUARY. And exactly

2327
01:18:24,271 --> 01:18:26,271
that.

2328
01:18:26,907 --> 01:18:27,775
>> And as more expensive

2329
01:18:27,775 --> 01:18:28,442
process is put it that way. So

2330
01:18:28,442 --> 01:18:31,145
that that's kind all to me.

2331
01:18:31,145 --> 01:18:32,212
That's off the table. What you

2332
01:18:32,212 --> 01:18:33,481
should be able to take a look

2333
01:18:33,481 --> 01:18:36,617
at this. Given time this list

2334
01:18:36,617 --> 01:18:37,285
here, obviously we're not

2335
01:18:37,285 --> 01:18:39,685
getting anywhere with this

2336
01:18:40,521 --> 01:18:41,221
list hear you correctly.

2337
01:18:41,221 --> 01:18:42,656
>> Yes, sir, have. I will not

2338
01:18:42,656 --> 01:18:44,825
say they have not fix

2339
01:18:44,825 --> 01:18:45,526
anything. They have fixed some

2340
01:18:45,526 --> 01:18:47,261
issues and some of them that

2341
01:18:47,261 --> 01:18:48,262
fixed in a timely manner. But

2342
01:18:48,262 --> 01:18:48,962
they were relatively small

2343
01:18:48,962 --> 01:18:50,965
compared to some of the items

2344
01:18:50,965 --> 01:18:51,632
that are on this list.

2345
01:18:51,632 --> 01:18:53,969
>> So just for the general

2346
01:18:53,969 --> 01:18:55,403
public's, I mean, we had in a

2347
01:18:55,403 --> 01:18:57,803
long gated conversation. Less

2348
01:18:58,105 --> 01:18:59,106
time just from the general

2349
01:18:59,106 --> 01:19:02,106
public standpoint, how will be

2350
01:19:03,277 --> 01:19:04,378
been working with Tyler?

2351
01:19:04,378 --> 01:19:05,450
Obviously we signed the

2352
01:19:05,450 --> 01:19:07,445
contract in FEBRUARY of 24.

2353
01:19:08,516 --> 01:19:11,152
Yes. All right. So we've been

2354
01:19:11,152 --> 01:19:13,552
working with them since 2024.

2355
01:19:14,655 --> 01:19:18,255
Is now almost. Going on to

2356
01:19:21,161 --> 01:19:22,430
2027. Also 27 and we still

2357
01:19:22,430 --> 01:19:25,299
don't have Well, this is 2 and

2358
01:19:25,299 --> 01:19:27,368
a half years give it to be to

2359
01:19:27,368 --> 01:19:28,335
be exact 2 and a half years

2360
01:19:28,335 --> 01:19:29,370
where working with them and we

2361
01:19:29,370 --> 01:19:30,370
still have no, we little or no

2362
01:19:30,370 --> 01:19:33,370
resolution to some of these

2363
01:19:34,975 --> 01:19:38,679
problems. And we we owe it to

2364
01:19:38,679 --> 01:19:39,313
our contractors. Obviously to

2365
01:19:39,313 --> 01:19:41,248
provide a system that is

2366
01:19:41,248 --> 01:19:43,170
functionally that functions.

2367
01:19:43,170 --> 01:19:43,684
Well, because they don't have

2368
01:19:43,684 --> 01:19:46,200
a lot of time to sit around

2369
01:19:46,200 --> 01:19:47,421
and mess around with something

2370
01:19:47,421 --> 01:19:48,856
that's not functioning well

2371
01:19:48,856 --> 01:19:49,490
and it's costing them time.

2372
01:19:49,490 --> 01:19:50,925
Time is money in today's

2373
01:19:50,925 --> 01:19:52,925
environment for contractor.

2374
01:19:54,940 --> 01:19:56,731
Right? Wrong. So at the end of

2375
01:19:56,731 --> 01:19:57,665
the day, is that I personally

2376
01:19:57,665 --> 01:20:00,134
believe we should go in and

2377
01:20:00,134 --> 01:20:01,637
just pay the money.

2378
01:20:01,637 --> 01:20:04,370
Maintenance fee this year.

2379
01:20:05,507 --> 01:20:07,241
Could it often there 20th of

2380
01:20:07,241 --> 01:20:08,443
whatever it is to give them

2381
01:20:08,443 --> 01:20:11,443
letter. And in the meantime,

2382
01:20:13,281 --> 01:20:14,248
put together a team people who

2383
01:20:14,248 --> 01:20:16,648
will evaluate other systems

2384
01:20:19,787 --> 01:20:20,455
that are functional for means.

2385
01:20:20,455 --> 01:20:21,122
That means you got a lot of

2386
01:20:21,122 --> 01:20:24,122
information to do some good

2387
01:20:24,658 --> 01:20:26,927
things with now. I would think

2388
01:20:26,927 --> 01:20:29,463
that would be the path that we

2389
01:20:29,463 --> 01:20:30,197
should I and I'm only saying

2390
01:20:30,197 --> 01:20:33,197
chief, because I'm getting the

2391
01:20:34,535 --> 01:20:35,236
sense. Over the last. Few

2392
01:20:35,236 --> 01:20:38,236
months that we're not getting

2393
01:20:39,206 --> 01:20:39,908
anywhere.

2394
01:20:39,908 --> 01:20:40,608
>> And as you mentioned, for

2395
01:20:40,608 --> 01:20:43,177
the people that are listening

2396
01:20:43,177 --> 01:20:46,177
or watching at home. We

2397
01:20:47,215 --> 01:20:48,215
estimated about 40%. 40 to 50%

2398
01:20:48,215 --> 01:20:50,885
of the way through getting the

2399
01:20:50,885 --> 01:20:52,587
building department function

2400
01:20:52,587 --> 01:20:53,454
of Tyler. We have not even

2401
01:20:53,454 --> 01:20:55,756
started using the planning and

2402
01:20:55,756 --> 01:20:57,325
zoning or code enforcement

2403
01:20:57,325 --> 01:20:58,590
function that we're that we're

2404
01:20:58,590 --> 01:21:00,628
paying for. So we haven't even

2405
01:21:00,628 --> 01:21:03,628
started on those. And there's

2406
01:21:03,998 --> 01:21:04,699
got both departments feel

2407
01:21:04,699 --> 01:21:07,350
comfortable speaking for them

2408
01:21:07,350 --> 01:21:07,869
that they're not happy with

2409
01:21:07,869 --> 01:21:08,469
the fact that they're paying

2410
01:21:08,469 --> 01:21:09,203
for a service that they

2411
01:21:09,203 --> 01:21:12,203
haven't even started using MR.

2412
01:21:13,241 --> 01:21:13,842
Chair. Yes.

2413
01:21:13,842 --> 01:21:14,542
>> How is it that we're

2414
01:21:14,542 --> 01:21:16,780
halfway through year 3 of the

2415
01:21:16,780 --> 01:21:18,780
3 year contract. With 0

2416
01:21:19,470 --> 01:21:21,470
satisfaction. Yet spending

2417
01:21:21,383 --> 01:21:24,585
$80,000 a year on How did this

2418
01:21:24,585 --> 01:21:28,785
not come up last year? Or if

2419
01:21:29,190 --> 01:21:29,891
it did not MISS That?

2420
01:21:29,891 --> 01:21:32,891
>> That basically we've had a

2421
01:21:33,828 --> 01:21:36,828
conversation. I'll say is some

2422
01:21:37,310 --> 01:21:37,999
updates to see where we're at

2423
01:21:37,999 --> 01:21:40,235
and we thought we would get

2424
01:21:40,235 --> 01:21:40,968
get it fixed last year. But

2425
01:21:40,968 --> 01:21:42,537
word now where another year we

2426
01:21:42,537 --> 01:21:45,537
store it anywhere. So that's

2427
01:21:47,575 --> 01:21:50,278
reason I made the the speech.

2428
01:21:50,278 --> 01:21:51,512
Last week or last commissioner

2429
01:21:51,512 --> 01:21:54,115
to get the chief to bring back

2430
01:21:54,115 --> 01:21:56,117
these types of information. So

2431
01:21:56,117 --> 01:21:57,252
that we can sit here, make a

2432
01:21:57,252 --> 01:21:57,919
decision about if we're going

2433
01:21:57,919 --> 01:22:00,455
to spend money, we need to

2434
01:22:00,455 --> 01:22:01,155
spend money wisely and not

2435
01:22:01,155 --> 01:22:02,824
food usually throw, you know,

2436
01:22:02,824 --> 01:22:05,993
put into a system that we're

2437
01:22:05,993 --> 01:22:09,263
going get 40% of one. One of 3

2438
01:22:09,263 --> 01:22:12,263
segments working. Crazy. And I

2439
01:22:12,633 --> 01:22:15,503
were they still in business. I

2440
01:22:15,503 --> 01:22:17,739
mean, is there any county

2441
01:22:17,739 --> 01:22:19,508
that's contracted with a if

2442
01:22:19,508 --> 01:22:20,175
that has any better

2443
01:22:20,175 --> 01:22:21,900
satisfaction yesterday? And

2444
01:22:21,900 --> 01:22:22,944
they did, you know, of course,

2445
01:22:22,944 --> 01:22:23,712
when we were going through the

2446
01:22:23,712 --> 01:22:24,379
selection process.

2447
01:22:24,379 --> 01:22:26,881
>> They said go visit this

2448
01:22:26,881 --> 01:22:27,549
county, go visit county. And

2449
01:22:27,549 --> 01:22:28,684
that is that those counties

2450
01:22:28,684 --> 01:22:31,684
enjoyed it. They they. They

2451
01:22:32,422 --> 01:22:33,155
said it works great. So it is

2452
01:22:33,155 --> 01:22:35,523
a functional system that there

2453
01:22:35,523 --> 01:22:37,523
are nationwide company

2454
01:22:39,494 --> 01:22:40,562
reputable. But there are also

2455
01:22:40,562 --> 01:22:43,398
and the attorney it had talked

2456
01:22:43,398 --> 01:22:44,165
about some other departments,

2457
01:22:44,165 --> 01:22:45,400
other municipalities that have

2458
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:46,101
had very similar issues with

2459
01:22:46,101 --> 01:22:49,101
Tyler technology and some of

2460
01:22:49,137 --> 01:22:49,771
them. Decided to go through

2461
01:22:49,771 --> 01:22:52,600
the dispute resolution, I

2462
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:53,174
believe. And then some of them

2463
01:22:53,174 --> 01:22:54,420
have decided to move and some

2464
01:22:54,420 --> 01:22:56,811
of them got fixed so that

2465
01:22:56,811 --> 01:22:57,612
there's a very broad spectrum

2466
01:22:57,612 --> 01:23:00,120
of dissatisfied and satisfied

2467
01:23:02,500 --> 01:23:02,750
customers with this company.

2468
01:23:02,750 --> 01:23:05,150
>> Commissioner, why don't we

2469
01:23:06,321 --> 01:23:07,789
instead of saying? Pay the

2470
01:23:07,789 --> 01:23:08,490
money would only let staff and

2471
01:23:08,490 --> 01:23:09,224
their attorneys decided which

2472
01:23:09,224 --> 01:23:11,459
way the best way to go on this

2473
01:23:11,459 --> 01:23:15,590
one. Think there's a lot of

2474
01:23:18,650 --> 01:23:18,767
things. It. The defense bar. I

2475
01:23:18,767 --> 01:23:19,434
think think this is a given.

2476
01:23:19,434 --> 01:23:20,168
We're going change and been

2477
01:23:20,168 --> 01:23:23,168
somebody else have fun with

2478
01:23:23,538 --> 01:23:24,839
that. Whatever it takes to get

2479
01:23:24,839 --> 01:23:28,439
us out of this. The cheapest

2480
01:23:29,450 --> 01:23:31,800
way. And still be able to

2481
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:31,747
retain. I information. What if

2482
01:23:31,747 --> 01:23:34,747
they have been damaged him

2483
01:23:34,950 --> 01:23:35,650
8,000, you say isn't there?

2484
01:23:35,650 --> 01:23:36,318
>> Well, there's 80,000 that

2485
01:23:36,318 --> 01:23:38,186
are not in there correctly,

2486
01:23:38,186 --> 01:23:38,854
but there's far more than that

2487
01:23:38,854 --> 01:23:40,121
that are in their early MAY

2488
01:23:40,121 --> 01:23:40,789
not Maybe better start from

2489
01:23:40,789 --> 01:23:44,389
scratch, but what we and we

2490
01:23:44,726 --> 01:23:45,460
will have to. One of the

2491
01:23:45,460 --> 01:23:47,195
issues that's come up is as we

2492
01:23:47,195 --> 01:23:47,896
know, the data conversion from

2493
01:23:47,896 --> 01:23:49,264
Central Square, which is our

2494
01:23:49,264 --> 01:23:52,264
all platform to Tyler, has

2495
01:23:52,467 --> 01:23:55,467
been very troublesome. We will

2496
01:23:56,138 --> 01:23:56,805
now have to have a 3 way data

2497
01:23:56,805 --> 01:23:58,805
conversion between Central

2498
01:23:59,274 --> 01:24:00,242
Square. That data that those

2499
01:24:00,242 --> 01:24:00,909
80,000 legacy information, the

2500
01:24:00,909 --> 01:24:02,177
new information that's been

2501
01:24:02,177 --> 01:24:03,979
installed in the Tyler in the

2502
01:24:03,979 --> 01:24:05,130
last 10 months. It has been

2503
01:24:05,130 --> 01:24:07,130
operational into whatever

2504
01:24:07,749 --> 01:24:08,583
program we go with. But we

2505
01:24:08,583 --> 01:24:09,851
will also have a much better

2506
01:24:09,851 --> 01:24:10,818
idea of what that should look

2507
01:24:10,818 --> 01:24:12,687
like. And and commissioner

2508
01:24:12,687 --> 01:24:15,870
Burrows has offered his

2509
01:24:15,457 --> 01:24:17,659
subject matter. Expertise to

2510
01:24:17,659 --> 01:24:19,494
help us get through that

2511
01:24:19,494 --> 01:24:20,195
process and that we will very

2512
01:24:20,195 --> 01:24:23,195
be in communication with him

2513
01:24:23,231 --> 01:24:23,898
on that. He can afford as much

2514
01:24:23,898 --> 01:24:26,201
located the West. You can't

2515
01:24:26,201 --> 01:24:27,136
afford to lose much more here.

2516
01:24:27,136 --> 01:24:30,405
>> And only the area do make

2517
01:24:30,405 --> 01:24:33,405
difference. I'm too I think

2518
01:24:33,509 --> 01:24:34,610
issue, issue brought up.

2519
01:24:34,610 --> 01:24:37,610
That's just the data migration

2520
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:39,882
pieces. As long as you got a

2521
01:24:39,882 --> 01:24:40,516
perform, a relative to the

2522
01:24:40,516 --> 01:24:42,916
data interface. Should be

2523
01:24:42,984 --> 01:24:46,540
okay. The new one, the other

2524
01:24:46,540 --> 01:24:47,856
one. So as you and I talked

2525
01:24:47,856 --> 01:24:49,858
briefly last week, we just

2526
01:24:49,858 --> 01:24:51,727
need to understand the

2527
01:24:51,727 --> 01:24:54,127
character structure of that

2528
01:24:54,696 --> 01:24:56,965
interface from what was said,

2529
01:24:56,965 --> 01:24:58,660
where was central Square

2530
01:24:58,660 --> 01:25:00,369
Central Square? They need to

2531
01:25:00,369 --> 01:25:02,170
be able to see the data format

2532
01:25:02,170 --> 01:25:03,138
for that piece of it. And then

2533
01:25:03,138 --> 01:25:03,772
whatever we go with the same,

2534
01:25:03,772 --> 01:25:04,473
great, here's the format.

2535
01:25:04,473 --> 01:25:05,707
You've got to be able to meet

2536
01:25:05,707 --> 01:25:09,430
it in order to populate the

2537
01:25:09,430 --> 01:25:10,712
new system. Done this for

2538
01:25:10,712 --> 01:25:14,312
years and years and it's just

2539
01:25:14,315 --> 01:25:16,752
not a a small, difficult

2540
01:25:16,752 --> 01:25:19,688
problem. For people who know

2541
01:25:19,688 --> 01:25:20,455
how to do this.

2542
01:25:20,455 --> 01:25:23,455
>> Does that give you the

2543
01:25:23,525 --> 01:25:24,660
direction you need to work

2544
01:25:24,660 --> 01:25:27,529
with Just good attorney and

2545
01:25:27,529 --> 01:25:28,230
see what we can do here. And

2546
01:25:28,230 --> 01:25:28,964
commissioner burst Bill which

2547
01:25:28,964 --> 01:25:29,998
when you get decided which way

2548
01:25:29,998 --> 01:25:32,167
you're going be there to

2549
01:25:32,167 --> 01:25:34,903
assist you with the technology

2550
01:25:34,903 --> 01:25:35,938
support.

2551
01:25:35,938 --> 01:25:37,390
>> Yes, sir. It just to be

2552
01:25:37,390 --> 01:25:39,174
clear that the general

2553
01:25:39,174 --> 01:25:40,242
direction is to find another

2554
01:25:40,242 --> 01:25:40,942
yes software and then for

2555
01:25:40,942 --> 01:25:43,145
staff to figure out the best

2556
01:25:43,145 --> 01:25:44,120
way to transition to that

2557
01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:46,120
offer.

2558
01:25:47,116 --> 01:25:47,784
>> That's not what I can But I

2559
01:25:47,784 --> 01:25:48,417
also think won't do is that

2560
01:25:48,417 --> 01:25:50,530
when you were looking for

2561
01:25:50,530 --> 01:25:53,210
these other systems, I wish I

2562
01:25:53,210 --> 01:25:53,655
I was at a place is weak.

2563
01:25:53,655 --> 01:25:57,255
>> Were all of were at in

2564
01:25:57,493 --> 01:25:58,193
fact? Because like a funny

2565
01:25:58,193 --> 01:25:58,860
story is ahead so much in my

2566
01:25:58,860 --> 01:26:01,731
hand, one day trying to get

2567
01:26:01,731 --> 01:26:03,731
the

2568
01:26:03,966 --> 01:26:04,900
>> trade show is I needed a

2569
01:26:04,900 --> 01:26:05,835
bag, so walked over and I got

2570
01:26:05,835 --> 01:26:10,350
a bag 82. It was a Tyler Bey.

2571
01:26:12,274 --> 01:26:16,474
So that was really kind of a

2572
01:26:17,212 --> 01:26:18,380
both we did get something from

2573
01:26:18,380 --> 01:26:19,815
We got say is that think it.

2574
01:26:19,815 --> 01:26:22,215
Also need to have.

2575
01:26:24,787 --> 01:26:25,354
>> Some people that users this

2576
01:26:25,354 --> 01:26:27,656
team and that's as to

2577
01:26:27,656 --> 01:26:28,958
contractors or whoever v so

2578
01:26:28,958 --> 01:26:30,559
people can see exactly what's

2579
01:26:30,559 --> 01:26:31,293
needed from like code

2580
01:26:31,293 --> 01:26:31,961
enforcement people, whatever

2581
01:26:31,961 --> 01:26:35,530
it MAY be that we need that

2582
01:26:35,530 --> 01:26:36,164
team put together slowly

2583
01:26:36,164 --> 01:26:36,866
cookies and we were going

2584
01:26:36,866 --> 01:26:38,567
select a system that's going

2585
01:26:38,567 --> 01:26:41,567
to be functional for everybody

2586
01:26:42,638 --> 01:26:43,906
and not to not be owners.

2587
01:26:43,906 --> 01:26:44,806
>> Yes, sir. And we did have

2588
01:26:44,806 --> 01:26:47,543
that on the last we're

2589
01:26:47,543 --> 01:26:49,277
lacking. The last one was was

2590
01:26:49,277 --> 01:26:49,745
someone who understood the

2591
01:26:49,745 --> 01:26:51,745
data migration.

2592
01:26:52,470 --> 01:26:55,647
>> The and and the end user

2593
01:26:56,180 --> 01:26:57,953
interface portion. So and it's

2594
01:26:57,953 --> 01:26:58,687
it's was just, you know, I

2595
01:26:58,687 --> 01:26:59,354
guess and oversight for like I

2596
01:26:59,354 --> 01:27:00,230
said, it's one of those. We

2597
01:27:00,230 --> 01:27:01,256
didn't know what we didn't

2598
01:27:01,256 --> 01:27:04,256
know at the time learning

2599
01:27:05,461 --> 01:27:06,161
experience. Yes, sir.

2600
01:27:06,161 --> 01:27:08,397
>> just get you up with this

2601
01:27:08,397 --> 01:27:10,397
plan.

2602
01:27:15,871 --> 01:27:18,674
>> Yes, sir. I have. Good

2603
01:27:18,674 --> 01:27:19,842
knowledge on data mapping

2604
01:27:19,842 --> 01:27:21,443
technology and understanding

2605
01:27:21,443 --> 01:27:23,445
the tech language to a certain

2606
01:27:23,445 --> 01:27:26,382
extent in asking the right

2607
01:27:26,382 --> 01:27:28,782
questions with conversions and

2608
01:27:30,850 --> 01:27:31,387

approved what we had sent back

2657
01:29:54,163 --> 01:29:55,965
county attorney had made some

2658
01:29:55,965 --> 01:29:57,965
alterations to mainly

2659
01:29:58,834 --> 01:30:01,234
grammatical and name change,

2660
01:30:02,672 --> 01:30:03,373
Alterations. And then a few

2661
01:30:03,373 --> 01:30:04,974
Excuse having trouble getting

2662
01:30:04,974 --> 01:30:07,343

01:30:07,977 --> 01:30:10,313
with a staff prior to the

2665
01:30:10,313 --> 01:30:10,980
meeting and that their board

2666
01:30:10,980 --> 01:30:13,980
had approved. They were not

2667
01:30:16,619 --> 01:30:17,320
able to. Get assigned copy to

2668
01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:20,524
that they said it MAY take 2

2669
01:30:20,524 --> 01:30:23,193
weeks to get that to us. So we

2670
01:30:23,193 --> 01:30:24,261
don't have a signed copy 2% up

2671
01:30:24,261 --> 01:30:24,895
all but there would not be any

2672
01:30:24,895 --> 01:30:27,295
other modifications to it

2673
01:30:29,532 --> 01:30:30,400
other than what you see.

2674
01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:31,634

2676
01:30:32,635 --> 01:30:33,202

in had them in hand document

2684
01:30:42,679 --> 01:30:45,679
to sign it would take 30

2685
01:30:46,615 --> 01:30:47,217
seconds sign. But the good

2686
01:30:47,217 --> 01:30:49,850
part of is a gun change

2687
01:30:49,850 --> 01:30:52,850
management, the 31st. So they

2688
01:30:53,556 --> 01:30:54,657

2689
01:30:54,657 --> 01:30:56,125
Yes chair and we appreciate

2698
01:31:11,241 --> 01:31:11,942
away. But at this time.

2699
01:31:11,942 --> 01:31:14,342
Everything's and their hands.

2700
01:31:14,945 --> 01:31:16,120
What we asked for the red line

2701
01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:18,810
that we submitted back to them

2702
01:31:18,810 --> 01:31:21,500
is what they've approved. And

2703
01:31:21,500 --> 01:31:22,118
yes, in Tuesday's meeting, so

2704
01:31:22,118 --> 01:31:22,819
I just look forward to coming

2705
01:31:22,819 --> 01:31:25,588
back. And once it comes back

2706
01:31:25,588 --> 01:31:27,457

2707
01:31:27,457 --> 01:31:28,959

see this thing moving. And I

2712
01:31:34,998 --> 01:31:37,234
think it's going to be great

2713
01:31:37,234 --> 01:31:37,900
for the community. Also having

2714
01:31:37,900 --> 01:31:41,104
a fire station down on that

2715
01:31:41,104 --> 01:31:41,805
south side. I was impressed

2716
01:31:41,805 --> 01:31:46,500
and found out that we have a

2717
01:31:46,442 --> 01:31:49,442

2718
01:31:51,915 --> 01:31:53,650

to ask you what we have.

2722
01:31:58,540 --> 01:31:59,522
There's agreement with the new

01:32:02,759 --> 01:32:03,460

2727
01:32:09,900 --> 01:32:10,567
time? And we did the CHAIRMAN

2728
01:32:10,567 --> 01:32:12,836
And the administrator and I

2729
01:32:12,836 --> 01:32:14,638

amendment and extension

2739
01:32:31,221 --> 01:32:34,221

01:32:36,859 --> 01:32:37,561
service fees and presented

2742
01:32:37,561 --> 01:32:40,932
that to their board. And then

2743
01:32:40,932 --> 01:32:41,632
we were able to also talk to

2744
01:32:41,632 --> 01:32:44,668
the new community going in on

2745
01:32:44,668 --> 01:32:47,300

I it was a budget workshop.

2750
01:33:00,384 --> 01:33:01,485
They have another budget

2751
01:33:01,485 --> 01:33:03,190
workshop this upcoming Monday.

2752
01:33:03,190 --> 01:33:05,419
They are setting their

2758
01:33:13,930 --> 01:33:16,930
number with fire and ems

2759
01:33:17,701 --> 01:33:18,401
combine is around 650,000 when

2760
01:33:18,401 --> 01:33:21,571
we were at the workshop. They

2761
01:33:21,571 --> 01:33:24,407
did mention that they had

2762
01:33:24,407 --> 01:33:25,800
around 389,000 budgeted from

2763
01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:25,676
our prior conversations

2764
01:33:25,676 --> 01:33:28,312
because we did not have the

2765
01:33:28,312 --> 01:33:30,180
data at that time with our

2766
01:33:30,180 --> 01:33:32,116
property appraisers working

2767
01:33:32,116 --> 01:33:33,917

2769
01:33:34,551 --> 01:33:37,551

2770
01:33:39,890 --> 01:33:41,191
workshop. At that time.

2771
01:33:41,191 --> 01:33:43,160
>> I was referring to the new

2772
01:33:43,160 --> 01:33:44,361
community would not say yes or

2773
01:33:44,361 --> 01:33:45,162
whether they would be willing

2774
01:33:45,162 --> 01:33:45,829
to participate. And on the

2775
01:33:45,829 --> 01:33:46,530
east side of Glades County,

2776
01:33:46,530 --> 01:33:48,930
not last. Answer. Well,

2777
01:33:51,868 --> 01:33:52,603

01:33:52,603 --> 01:33:54,603
>> About 4 Southwest also

2779
01:33:55,706 --> 01:33:59,306

01:33:59,509 --> 01:34:00,210
Day area. Also. All the way up

2781
01:34:00,210 --> 01:34:02,610
to Prairie Canaille basically

2782
01:34:07,884 --> 01:34:08,619
in in that. 2 agenda and this

2783
01:34:08,619 --> 01:34:11,421

offered him a contract to

2785
01:34:13,790 --> 01:34:14,625
cover fire. Also always before

2786
01:34:14,625 --> 01:34:16,560
would just be a massive. We've

2787
01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:17,194
been Michel laid on the on the

2788
01:34:17,194 --> 01:34:17,894
fire department said with

2789
01:34:17,894 --> 01:34:20,894
message that's reason for the

2790
01:34:25,335 --> 01:34:25,936
big increase. And Tremendously

2791
01:34:25,936 --> 01:34:26,603
and funding new station

2792
01:34:26,603 --> 01:34:30,203
getting it going. If we did

2793
01:34:34,178 --> 01:34:37,470
that. Believe that. I don't

2794
01:34:37,470 --> 01:34:38,810
think they have a I feel sorry

2795
01:34:38,810 --> 01:34:38,748
for them because that there

2796
01:34:38,748 --> 01:34:41,351
are there text of You know,

2797
01:34:41,351 --> 01:34:42,485
they have been a mess to u n

2798
01:34:42,485 --> 01:34:44,855
high mileage, but they know

2799
01:34:44,855 --> 01:34:47,824
that they have to have service

2800
01:34:47,824 --> 01:34:48,793
the new community there.

2801
01:34:48,793 --> 01:34:49,527
Doesn't care if they have

2802
01:34:49,527 --> 01:34:53,127
service and not that they made

2803
01:34:54,398 --> 01:34:55,299
that plane to us. They don't

2804
01:34:55,299 --> 01:34:56,000
think it affects your

2805
01:34:56,000 --> 01:34:59,000
insurance rate, but I'm told

2806
01:35:00,171 --> 01:35:02,306
it does drastically But, you

2807
01:35:02,306 --> 01:35:03,307
know, thankfully to make

2808
01:35:03,307 --> 01:35:05,243
property appraiser, he has

2809
01:35:05,243 --> 01:35:06,109
worked with that with us on

2810
01:35:06,109 --> 01:35:06,844
this one. You know, because

2811
01:35:06,844 --> 01:35:08,112
this outside his requirement

2812
01:35:08,112 --> 01:35:11,648
to do help us to figure out

2813
01:35:11,648 --> 01:35:13,818
ahead assessment Mayes County

2814
01:35:13,818 --> 01:35:14,518
so new construction does come

2815
01:35:14,518 --> 01:35:15,920
on board, then we'll be able

2816
01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:16,587
to include that in and not

2817
01:35:16,587 --> 01:35:20,187
just have a flat rate every

2818
01:35:21,124 --> 01:35:21,758
year. It's been a working

2819
01:35:21,758 --> 01:35:22,459
progress. A lot of people

2820
01:35:22,459 --> 01:35:25,429
working together and I think

2821
01:35:25,429 --> 01:35:27,598
it has a lot of potential.

2822
01:35:27,598 --> 01:35:29,633
Yes, sir. I agree completely.

2823
01:35:29,633 --> 01:35:30,635
And then on the fire station

2824
01:35:30,635 --> 01:35:33,300
actually spoke to Justin on a

2825
01:35:33,300 --> 01:35:33,737
few different options.

2826
01:35:33,737 --> 01:35:35,539
>> We're going to look at some

2827
01:35:35,539 --> 01:35:37,939
different designs and really

2828
01:35:39,977 --> 01:35:40,644
what happened to his? Value

2829
01:35:40,644 --> 01:35:42,644
engineering expertise. And

2830
01:35:43,614 --> 01:35:44,715
we're also looking at it.

2831
01:35:44,715 --> 01:35:46,884
There are some options that we

2832
01:35:46,884 --> 01:35:48,152
can add to it that will make

2833
01:35:48,152 --> 01:35:48,819
it eligible for more grant

2834
01:35:48,819 --> 01:35:51,819
funding? So we're going to

2835
01:35:53,190 --> 01:35:53,924
look at those options as well.

2836
01:35:53,924 --> 01:35:54,624
>> And I missed notion here to

2837
01:35:54,624 --> 01:35:58,224
talk about that when it comes

2838
01:36:00,431 --> 01:36:01,131
time. If you want to do it now

2839
01:36:01,131 --> 01:36:02,650
we can. Do you want to finish

2840
01:36:02,650 --> 01:36:05,665
that agenda item up? I don't

2841
01:36:06,771 --> 01:36:08,707
think you did a vote year.

2842
01:36:08,707 --> 01:36:10,707
>> MR. Approve resolution

2843
01:36:12,777 --> 01:36:14,777
Twenty-twenty 6 dash

2844
01:36:15,179 --> 01:36:15,780
>> We have a motion and a

2845
01:36:15,780 --> 01:36:16,447
second thing approve

2846
01:36:16,447 --> 01:36:18,447
resolution Twenty-twenty 6

2847
01:36:18,983 --> 01:36:20,983
dash. 48. Any further

2848
01:36:21,185 --> 01:36:23,585
discussion comments all in

2849
01:36:24,988 --> 01:36:25,590
favor say Aye. Aye. Opposed.

2850
01:36:25,590 --> 01:36:27,990
Say nay motion carries

2851
01:36:28,659 --> 01:36:30,659
unanimously. Thank you.

2852
01:36:33,564 --> 01:36:34,298
Commissioners. You're going

2853
01:36:34,298 --> 01:36:36,634
want to talk about it now. You

2854
01:36:36,634 --> 01:36:38,100
want to wait play both We can.

2855
01:36:38,100 --> 01:36:39,637
We can do. However you want.

2856
01:36:39,637 --> 01:36:43,837
Want to go ahead county can is

2857
01:36:44,420 --> 01:36:44,708
that so? I think, you know, as

2858
01:36:44,708 --> 01:36:48,308
far as where we're going to

2859
01:36:49,179 --> 01:36:49,847
move forward with station 5 is

2860
01:36:49,847 --> 01:36:51,349
myself and and she hastily

2861
01:36:51,349 --> 01:36:54,418
Some staff will be. During a

2862
01:36:54,418 --> 01:36:56,487
couple different sites. We

2863
01:36:56,487 --> 01:36:57,989
found some additional. I

2864
01:36:57,989 --> 01:36:58,689
actually just actually went

2865
01:36:58,689 --> 01:37:01,859
looked at one. But of course,

2866
01:37:01,859 --> 01:37:03,728
I could not get it to do it at

2867
01:37:03,728 --> 01:37:05,629
this time of the night Joe

2868
01:37:05,629 --> 01:37:06,363
Bush at a pair of shorts and

2869
01:37:06,363 --> 01:37:08,466
flip-flops and they don't just

2870
01:37:08,466 --> 01:37:09,733
in their fire station. But

2871
01:37:09,733 --> 01:37:11,702
>> I did look at one end and I

2872
01:37:11,702 --> 01:37:12,804
told Chief I did not represent

2873
01:37:12,804 --> 01:37:15,804
Lee County and hearty arming

2874
01:37:16,274 --> 01:37:16,941
and in Hendry County. It was

2875
01:37:16,941 --> 01:37:18,610
somewhere out there on the

2876
01:37:18,610 --> 01:37:20,745
border. But it's right off of

2877
01:37:20,745 --> 01:37:21,445
80. That I think is a well

2878
01:37:21,445 --> 01:37:23,548
stated in chief is also found

2879
01:37:23,548 --> 01:37:24,248
some other one. So I think

2880
01:37:24,248 --> 01:37:27,848
we're going get out. Look at

2881
01:37:29,530 --> 01:37:30,989
those couple of sites also had

2882
01:37:30,989 --> 01:37:31,689
a had conversation with the

2883
01:37:31,689 --> 01:37:32,957
contractor that's doing one.

2884
01:37:32,957 --> 01:37:34,858
The chief wants to go look at.

2885
01:37:34,858 --> 01:37:36,561
I had a conversation with

2886
01:37:36,561 --> 01:37:37,428
them. If there was a way we

2887
01:37:37,428 --> 01:37:39,430
could value engineering and

2888
01:37:39,430 --> 01:37:40,732
bring that site down to what

2889
01:37:40,732 --> 01:37:44,332
we for what we think propose

2890
01:37:45,436 --> 01:37:46,403
to spend for funding to do it

2891
01:37:46,403 --> 01:37:47,171
design costs. The county

2892
01:37:47,171 --> 01:37:47,871
assessor biggest goal is to

2893
01:37:47,871 --> 01:37:50,207
try to spend the least amount

2894
01:37:50,207 --> 01:37:50,775
of money on this time so that

2895
01:37:50,775 --> 01:37:51,409
when we move forward

2896
01:37:51,409 --> 01:37:53,678
construction, we can roll

2897
01:37:53,678 --> 01:37:54,211
those funds over the grant

2898
01:37:54,211 --> 01:37:56,180
money over into the

2899
01:37:56,180 --> 01:37:56,513
construction, which we know we

2900
01:37:56,513 --> 01:37:57,182
can do.

2901
01:37:57,182 --> 01:38:00,782
>> But we will. We will be

2902
01:38:01,752 --> 01:38:02,387
workin

2903
01:38:02,387 --> 01:38:05,387
exempt from that running the

2904
01:38:07,191 --> 01:38:07,892
way it is. So somebody didn't

2905
01:38:07,892 --> 01:38:08,492
design and you went out. They

2906
01:38:08,492 --> 01:38:12,920
went to bed and heard a

2907
01:38:12,663 --> 01:38:14,398
contractor. If you just said

2908
01:38:14,398 --> 01:38:15,133
this and we like and we want

2909
01:38:15,133 --> 01:38:19,333
to use it, what would you have

2910
01:38:21,500 --> 01:38:21,740
to do to purchase set design?

2911
01:38:21,740 --> 01:38:23,800
>> Few different options. That

2912
01:38:23,800 --> 01:38:24,142
depends on where we are

2913
01:38:24,142 --> 01:38:24,876
through the ccna. What the

2914
01:38:24,876 --> 01:38:27,312
design costs will be, what the

2915
01:38:27,312 --> 01:38:27,979
costs would be to provide it.

2916
01:38:27,979 --> 01:38:30,248
There is some stipulations

2917
01:38:30,248 --> 01:38:31,582
under the ccna. We would have

2918
01:38:31,582 --> 01:38:32,583
to follow. But if it's an

2919
01:38:32,583 --> 01:38:34,452
existing agreement, we would

2920
01:38:34,452 --> 01:38:37,880
build the probably do a

2921
01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:37,822
piggyback. But I think my hope

2922
01:38:37,822 --> 01:38:40,125
is that all of this would fall

2923
01:38:40,125 --> 01:38:41,920
under the ccna guidelines. We

2924
01:38:41,920 --> 01:38:44,929
would be below that to be able

2925
01:38:44,929 --> 01:38:46,564
to hire that from to come

2926
01:38:46,564 --> 01:38:47,265
right in and sacked might be

2927
01:38:47,265 --> 01:38:49,533
able to lead on that a little

2928
01:38:49,533 --> 01:38:51,569
bit better than I can. But the

2929
01:38:51,569 --> 01:38:52,536
goal would be to build a

2930
01:38:52,536 --> 01:38:53,637
higher than without have to go

2931
01:38:53,637 --> 01:38:55,573
out for bid. If there's

2932
01:38:55,573 --> 01:38:56,707
something that's done your

2933
01:38:56,707 --> 01:38:57,508
time at the contractor. But

2934
01:38:57,508 --> 01:39:00,110
no, I'm talking about the

2935
01:39:00,110 --> 01:39:03,110
design design as falls under

2936
01:39:03,648 --> 01:39:04,315
the ccna. Yes, the ccna.

2937
01:39:04,315 --> 01:39:07,315
You're able to utilize your

2938
01:39:07,885 --> 01:39:10,870
pre qualified firms as long as

2939
01:39:10,870 --> 01:39:12,924
your construction costs is not

2940
01:39:12,924 --> 01:39:14,526
exceed. I believe it's up to 7

2941
01:39:14,526 --> 01:39:15,193
7 or 8 Million. If there's an

2942
01:39:15,193 --> 01:39:17,593
annual escalation that the

2943
01:39:18,329 --> 01:39:18,897
Legislature implemented.

2944
01:39:18,897 --> 01:39:19,564
>> So as long as your

2945
01:39:19,564 --> 01:39:21,964
construction costs is below

2946
01:39:23,340 --> 01:39:23,668
that, you can utilize your pre

2947
01:39:23,668 --> 01:39:25,603
qualified firms if it is

2948
01:39:25,603 --> 01:39:27,172
projected to be above that,

2949
01:39:27,172 --> 01:39:27,872
you have to do a stand-alone

2950
01:39:27,872 --> 01:39:30,272
solicitation for your design,

2951
01:39:31,877 --> 01:39:33,613
professional. But like I said,

2952
01:39:33,613 --> 01:39:34,947
I think with there being a

2953
01:39:34,947 --> 01:39:36,147
piggyback I think there can be

2954
01:39:36,147 --> 01:39:36,781
a piggyback agreement

2955
01:39:36,781 --> 01:39:38,781
established for something

2956
01:39:39,851 --> 01:39:41,686
that's still under contract.

2957
01:39:41,686 --> 01:39:42,287
>> Just so. But I mean, if if

2958
01:39:42,287 --> 01:39:43,821
some ad designed round

2959
01:39:43,821 --> 01:39:44,522
numbers, they paid $100,000

2960
01:39:44,522 --> 01:39:44,855
forward. Well, instead of it

2961
01:39:44,855 --> 01:39:44,955
just s#

2962
01:39:44,955 --> 01:39:45,550
#

2963
01:39:45,550 --> 01:39:45,156
#

2964
01:39:45,156 --> 01:39:47,156
#

2965
01:39:48,292 --> 01:39:49,294
. Disappearing and

2966
01:39:49,294 --> 01:39:49,995
made it. They took $20,000 for

2967
01:39:49,995 --> 01:39:53,164
it to be head of the game. Is

2968
01:39:53,164 --> 01:39:53,864
that something that could be

2969
01:39:53,864 --> 01:39:55,366
possible? Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

2970
01:39:55,366 --> 01:39:56,267
Not that would be what we

2971
01:39:56,267 --> 01:39:56,968
would be leaning towards. And

2972
01:39:56,968 --> 01:39:59,968
we've done that previously on

2973
01:39:59,971 --> 01:40:00,705
some of the other projects.

2974
01:40:00,705 --> 01:40:01,940
>> Here county, why we have we

2975
01:40:01,940 --> 01:40:03,775
have found existing designs

2976
01:40:03,775 --> 01:40:05,243
that were still under contract

2977
01:40:05,243 --> 01:40:08,140
with it that we were able to

2978
01:40:08,140 --> 01:40:10,482
get and get a hold of that

2979
01:40:10,482 --> 01:40:11,149
contractor through legal

2980
01:40:11,149 --> 01:40:12,317
interpretation and through

2981
01:40:12,317 --> 01:40:15,200
what we have, we were able to

2982
01:40:15,200 --> 01:40:17,420
procure those vendors. We've

2983
01:40:17,956 --> 01:40:19,724
done that twice now since I've

2984
01:40:19,724 --> 01:40:22,460
been here to save was a 1.4

2985
01:40:22,460 --> 01:40:24,860
million Dollar Design project.

2986
01:40:25,430 --> 01:40:26,764
And we did it for I think

2987
01:40:26,764 --> 01:40:27,565
125,000. So we will be looking

2988
01:40:27,565 --> 01:40:30,302
at those options. Once we find

2989
01:40:30,302 --> 01:40:31,200
something. I think that seats

2990
01:40:31,200 --> 01:40:33,238
both chiefs needs and then my

2991
01:40:33,238 --> 01:40:36,730
desire to be cheap. So I think

2992
01:40:36,730 --> 01:40:37,375
we've got to find that happy,

2993
01:40:37,375 --> 01:40:39,779
medium, give cheap what he

2994
01:40:39,779 --> 01:40:40,480
wants and getting something I

2995
01:40:40,480 --> 01:40:41,180
feel to give us the followed

2996
01:40:41,180 --> 01:40:44,382
in the budget that I've told

2997
01:40:44,382 --> 01:40:47,285
you I can still do this.

2998
01:40:47,285 --> 01:40:48,190
>> engineer being being the

2999
01:40:48,190 --> 01:40:48,720
go-between yesterday season be

3000
01:40:48,720 --> 01:40:50,422
good at pulling a rabbit out

3001
01:40:50,422 --> 01:40:51,523
the hat. Make things work.

3002
01:40:51,523 --> 01:40:52,257
Yes, sir. And I think we've

3003
01:40:52,257 --> 01:40:52,991
got some good options. I think

3004
01:40:52,991 --> 01:40:54,559
the 2 that we're talking about

3005
01:40:54,559 --> 01:40:58,363
those of us have been the one

3006
01:40:58,363 --> 01:40:59,300
that I went and looked at by

3007
01:40:59,300 --> 01:41:00,332
myself. I think that once a

3008
01:41:00,332 --> 01:41:01,366
good option and then the one

3009
01:41:01,366 --> 01:41:02,330
that chiefs wanting to go look

3010
01:41:02,330 --> 01:41:05,633
at, I have talked with the

3011
01:41:05,970 --> 01:41:07,390
contractor, his building that

3012
01:41:07,390 --> 01:41:07,706
and they they also are paid

3013
01:41:07,706 --> 01:41:09,374
for it with the design team

3014
01:41:09,374 --> 01:41:10,208
that did that. I spoke with a

3015
01:41:10,208 --> 01:41:13,208
design team. They feel like

3016
01:41:13,811 --> 01:41:15,514
that we would be able do

3017
01:41:15,514 --> 01:41:17,582
minimal design changes to make

3018
01:41:17,582 --> 01:41:21,753
it fit the size and cost that

3019
01:41:21,753 --> 01:41:22,688
we need now, then very shortly

3020
01:41:22,688 --> 01:41:23,254
we'll have the property. And

3021
01:41:23,254 --> 01:41:26,254
you said we can start

3022
01:41:26,924 --> 01:41:27,593
proceeding plans. Yeah, sir.

3023
01:41:27,593 --> 01:41:29,627
Yes, sir. Once we have

3024
01:41:29,627 --> 01:41:30,529
everything recorded once we

3025
01:41:30,529 --> 01:41:33,640
get our things know you and I

3026
01:41:33,640 --> 01:41:33,698
did stipulate in my email to

3027
01:41:33,698 --> 01:41:34,399
MR. Hay for that. We the

3028
01:41:34,399 --> 01:41:35,567
quicker we can get this back

3029
01:41:35,567 --> 01:41:36,235
and get it recorded. We can

3030
01:41:36,235 --> 01:41:38,804
get that to our underwriter

3031
01:41:38,804 --> 01:41:39,471
for the grant and then will we

3032
01:41:39,471 --> 01:41:42,471
haven't been able to accept

3033
01:41:42,707 --> 01:41:43,642
the grant yet we can to a

3034
01:41:43,642 --> 01:41:44,343
grand acceptance to we have

3035
01:41:44,343 --> 01:41:45,177
land acquisition done. They

3036
01:41:45,177 --> 01:41:46,679
won't write the grant, but we

3037
01:41:46,679 --> 01:41:47,413
we've been approved. We have

3038
01:41:47,413 --> 01:41:50,516
the money. We just need to get

3039
01:41:50,516 --> 01:41:51,117
that back to the board. So we

3040
01:41:51,117 --> 01:41:52,584
will as I can get that

3041
01:41:52,584 --> 01:41:55,584
recorded, we will start. And

3042
01:41:56,989 --> 01:42:00,589
the grant will. The for how

3043
01:42:00,959 --> 01:42:01,627
long. So the grant we've got,

3044
01:42:01,627 --> 01:42:02,294
I think 3 years. I mean, I

3045
01:42:02,294 --> 01:42:04,290
don't speak, but I think we

3046
01:42:04,290 --> 01:42:07,290
have 3 years for that grant

3047
01:42:09,340 --> 01:42:09,768
for the million dollars but we

3048
01:42:09,768 --> 01:42:10,469
had 18 month study land

3049
01:42:10,469 --> 01:42:12,237
acquisition. They gave us 18

3050
01:42:12,237 --> 01:42:12,937
month window to get the land

3051
01:42:12,937 --> 01:42:15,937
acquired and to move forward

3052
01:42:16,475 --> 01:42:17,142
with the grant. So we've still

3053
01:42:17,142 --> 01:42:17,842
got a little bit of time on

3054
01:42:17,842 --> 01:42:22,420
that. But I don't want to use

3055
01:42:23,448 --> 01:42:24,490
that time. It all possible.

3056
01:42:24,490 --> 01:42:26,885
The hoax is we can move

3057
01:42:26,885 --> 01:42:29,188
forward quickly as we can. Fit

3058
01:42:29,188 --> 01:42:29,788
in chief. Yes, sir. And if

3059
01:42:29,788 --> 01:42:31,788
anyone else questions,

3060
01:42:31,924 --> 01:42:32,925
comments. Thank you,

3061
01:42:32,925 --> 01:42:35,294
Commissioner is Jessica. You

3062
01:42:35,294 --> 01:42:38,894
okay? MR. All right. Thank you

3063
01:42:40,231 --> 01:42:42,200
all so much. Thank you. Okay,

3064
01:42:42,200 --> 01:42:43,702
MISS Jessica, your So I just

3065
01:42:43,702 --> 01:42:44,336
wanted to provide an update on

3066
01:42:44,336 --> 01:42:46,137
our website. You MAY have

3067
01:42:46,137 --> 01:42:48,537
noticed it with the

3068
01:42:48,573 --> 01:42:50,973
>> agenda packet for 2 days.

3069
01:42:52,100 --> 01:42:53,244
>> one of the

3070
01:42:53,244 --> 01:42:55,644
>> contracts that was approved

3071
01:42:55,914 --> 01:42:56,415
at a prior meeting was to move

3072
01:42:56,415 --> 01:42:58,415
forward with the

3073
01:42:59,852 --> 01:43:00,620
implementation and change our

3074
01:43:00,620 --> 01:43:01,520
Web site provider as well as

3075
01:43:01,520 --> 01:43:03,920
have additional modules. One

3076
01:43:05,357 --> 01:43:08,226
of those models was what's

3077
01:43:08,226 --> 01:43:10,626
called Doc Access. And

3078
01:43:28,847 --> 01:43:29,648
searches the Web site website for

3079
01:43:29,648 --> 01:43:32,648
pds throughout our Web site.

3080
01:43:33,352 --> 01:43:34,519
And Tracy has been working

3081
01:43:34,519 --> 01:43:35,687
diligently with the new

3082
01:43:35,687 --> 01:43:36,355
provider to ensure we're

3083
01:43:36,355 --> 01:43:39,257
moving forward with as many

3084
01:43:39,257 --> 01:43:40,192
models as we can now before we

3085
01:43:40,192 --> 01:43:42,592
implement the new website,

3086
01:43:45,697 --> 01:43:46,731
it's not Tyler. Is it?

3087
01:43:46,731 --> 01:43:49,731
>> civic plus, so just wanted

3088
01:43:50,869 --> 01:43:53,869
to highlight that feature and

3089
01:43:55,107 --> 01:43:56,308
>> another update. I wanted to

3090
01:43:56,308 --> 01:43:58,708
provide and recommendation or

3091
01:43:59,811 --> 01:44:00,712
for consideration. Is that and

3092
01:44:00,712 --> 01:44:03,712
terms of the property tax

3093
01:44:04,917 --> 01:44:06,787
reform, there are other

3094
01:44:06,787 --> 01:44:07,988
counties that are having some

3095
01:44:07,988 --> 01:44:09,888
initiatives and one of them is

3096
01:44:09,888 --> 01:44:12,288
signs throughout the county

3097
01:44:13,392 --> 01:44:15,792
saying what property tax

3098
01:44:17,796 --> 01:44:18,731
dollars fund the Palm Beach

3099
01:44:18,731 --> 01:44:21,131
County specifically has a

3100
01:44:24,303 --> 01:44:25,671
mascot and certain signs

3101
01:44:25,671 --> 01:44:26,371
throughout their county that

3102
01:44:26,371 --> 01:44:27,873
say a certain park is funded

3103
01:44:27,873 --> 01:44:29,508
by property tax dollars and so

3104
01:44:29,508 --> 01:44:30,442
on and so forth. So we've

3105
01:44:30,442 --> 01:44:31,110
created few mock-ups to see if

3106
01:44:31,110 --> 01:44:34,110
this is something the board

3107
01:44:34,646 --> 01:44:35,314
wants to consider. For the

3108
01:44:35,314 --> 01:44:37,314
discretionary services that

3109
01:44:38,160 --> 01:44:40,853
would be effective. Would be

3110
01:44:40,853 --> 01:44:41,687
affected by the property tax

3111
01:44:41,687 --> 01:44:43,555
reform, including Veterans

3112
01:44:43,555 --> 01:44:44,356
Services, senior services,

3113
01:44:44,356 --> 01:44:47,956
parks, buildings, so on and so

3114
01:44:49,610 --> 01:44:51,363
forth. So Jared has been

3115
01:44:51,363 --> 01:44:54,363
working on some markups are

3116
01:44:54,900 --> 01:44:56,900
communications specialist and

3117
01:44:56,968 --> 01:44:57,870
we have received some support

3118
01:44:57,870 --> 01:44:58,537
from outside organizations to

3119
01:44:58,537 --> 01:45:02,740
fund the signs. So it's not

3120
01:45:02,740 --> 01:45:05,740
coming from our general to.

3121
01:45:08,470 --> 01:45:09,282
Have these created.

3122
01:45:09,282 --> 01:45:11,884
>> Good example is who saw the

3123
01:45:11,884 --> 01:45:12,618
5 o'clock news this morning.

3124
01:45:12,618 --> 01:45:15,589
Martin counties come set shut

3125
01:45:15,589 --> 01:45:16,856
down said they will shut down

3126
01:45:16,856 --> 01:45:19,659
x amount of fire station coach

3127
01:45:19,659 --> 01:45:20,360
of the number layoff like 40

3128
01:45:20,360 --> 01:45:21,940
firefighters. Let the people

3129
01:45:21,940 --> 01:45:24,694
know this is coverage can't do

3130
01:45:27,867 --> 01:45:28,601
anymore. You know, and number

3131
01:45:28,601 --> 01:45:29,301
that I remember when they head

3132
01:45:29,301 --> 01:45:31,701
to Martin County commissioner

3133
01:45:33,472 --> 01:45:35,474
here 16, missions. She said

3134
01:45:35,474 --> 01:45:36,175
his first year they live

3135
01:45:36,175 --> 01:45:39,175
70 Million. So I mean, that's

3136
01:45:39,211 --> 01:45:43,411
that's. If it if it passes to

3137
01:45:44,550 --> 01:45:45,518
do that. So yeah, if we can

3138
01:45:45,518 --> 01:45:47,152
anything, anything we can do

3139
01:45:47,152 --> 01:45:47,819
to educate the people. And I

3140
01:45:47,819 --> 01:45:49,289
think we're talk some more

3141
01:45:49,289 --> 01:45:49,822
about the different

3142
01:45:49,822 --> 01:45:51,822
possibilities. And

3143
01:45:53,225 --> 01:45:54,930
commissioner comments. Did.

3144
01:45:54,930 --> 01:45:54,727
After the meeting Monday

3145
01:45:54,727 --> 01:45:56,362
night. I think we're all

3146
01:45:56,362 --> 01:45:59,362
pretty much concerned. It. The

3147
01:46:00,165 --> 01:46:00,899
legislators are British.

3148
01:46:00,899 --> 01:46:03,299
Educated. Don't county budgets

3149
01:46:05,300 --> 01:46:05,671
works.

3150
01:46:05,671 --> 01:46:07,840
>> So with this format, is

3151
01:46:07,840 --> 01:46:08,541
there a consensus to go ahead

3152
01:46:08,541 --> 01:46:09,208
and move forward with some of

3153
01:46:09,208 --> 01:46:10,843
these signs throughout the

3154
01:46:10,843 --> 01:46:11,510
county, including when it's

3155
01:46:11,510 --> 01:46:14,460
specific to a service will

3156
01:46:14,460 --> 01:46:14,780
have some statistics on it. So

3157
01:46:14,780 --> 01:46:17,490
for Veterans Services, you can

3158
01:46:17,490 --> 01:46:18,351
see there that it highlights

3159
01:46:18,351 --> 01:46:21,951
how many veterans we have in

3160
01:46:22,254 --> 01:46:22,955
Okeechobee How many met?

3161
01:46:22,955 --> 01:46:24,257
>> Throughout the fiscal past

3162
01:46:24,257 --> 01:46:25,191
fiscal year and how many

3163
01:46:25,191 --> 01:46:25,859
claims that were submitted. So

3164
01:46:25,859 --> 01:46:28,259
we'll have some statistics

3165
01:46:28,294 --> 01:46:28,995
when it is.

3166
01:46:28,995 --> 01:46:31,395
>> Service specific, but for

3167
01:46:31,997 --> 01:46:33,400
buildings in parks, it'll just

3168
01:46:33,400 --> 01:46:36,202
to help with cost savings that

3169
01:46:36,202 --> 01:46:37,169
will this park this building

3170
01:46:37,169 --> 01:46:37,770
instead of being specific with

3171
01:46:37,770 --> 01:46:39,572
the name of the park or

3172
01:46:39,572 --> 01:46:41,407
building because as you get

3173
01:46:41,407 --> 01:46:43,807
more specific, it increases

3174
01:46:46,120 --> 01:46:46,779
the cost of the sign. So. Just

3175
01:46:46,779 --> 01:46:48,314
want receive a consensus on

3176
01:46:48,314 --> 01:46:51,314
moving forward with I'm all

3177
01:46:52,285 --> 01:46:52,985
for it, uk but

3178
01:46:52,985 --> 01:46:53,619
>> put one up at the hospital

3179
01:46:53,619 --> 01:46:54,253
say we're not going spend

3180
01:46:54,253 --> 01:46:56,253
million dollars Medicaid

3181
01:47:00,960 --> 01:47:01,661
anymore. The steps of the

3182
01:47:01,661 --> 01:47:04,661
road. Hope somebody pick ship

3183
01:47:08,668 --> 01:47:09,735
goes to another county. If if

3184
01:47:09,735 --> 01:47:11,537
we don't have it, we can't

3185
01:47:11,537 --> 01:47:12,238
send it to And that's that's a

3186
01:47:12,238 --> 01:47:15,238
mandate. A million dollars a

3187
01:47:17,410 --> 01:47:18,144
year to state on Medicaid.

3188
01:47:18,144 --> 01:47:21,144
>> All right. Thank you, chair

3189
01:47:22,381 --> 01:47:23,830
And then for.

3190
01:47:23,830 --> 01:47:26,830
>> The other item and worked

3191
01:47:26,552 --> 01:47:27,286
on this topic. I create the

3192
01:47:27,286 --> 01:47:27,954
letter. Do you want me to talk

3193
01:47:27,954 --> 01:47:31,524
about that now? We want to

3194
01:47:31,524 --> 01:47:33,461
wait until Cats. I did that.

3195
01:47:33,461 --> 01:47:34,295
You have at the Dias here

3196
01:47:34,295 --> 01:47:35,962
draft a letter based on some

3197
01:47:35,962 --> 01:47:38,198
of the conversations that were

3198
01:47:38,198 --> 01:47:39,310
had that the chair was just

3199
01:47:39,310 --> 01:47:42,310
speaking about. And it does

3200
01:47:43,236 --> 01:47:45,236
highlight provides more

3201
01:47:46,372 --> 01:47:48,541
information, education on how

3202
01:47:48,541 --> 01:47:51,444
the budget is formatted where

3203
01:47:51,444 --> 01:47:53,446
property taxes actually lie in

3204
01:47:53,446 --> 01:47:54,414
the reason for the

3205
01:47:54,414 --> 01:47:56,549
year-over-year is usually due

3206
01:47:56,549 --> 01:47:57,417
to grant funds or capital

3207
01:47:57,417 --> 01:48:00,152
projects that we are funding

3208
01:48:00,152 --> 01:48:03,752
that are not relative to the

3209
01:48:07,961 --> 01:48:09,696
property tax amount. So this

3210
01:48:09,696 --> 01:48:10,864
is formatted to center the

3211
01:48:10,864 --> 01:48:13,600
legislators, but also I will

3212
01:48:13,600 --> 01:48:14,301
pull some information from

3213
01:48:14,301 --> 01:48:17,901
this, too post to the public

3214
01:48:19,672 --> 01:48:20,506
as well. So if can get a

3215
01:48:20,506 --> 01:48:23,506
consensus to have the chair

3216
01:48:24,143 --> 01:48:28,343
sign To send it off to the

3217
01:48:32,552 --> 01:48:34,620
legislators and move forward.

3218
01:48:34,620 --> 01:48:37,557
It starts with identifying the

3219
01:48:37,557 --> 01:48:38,225
grants has some bar charts in

3220
01:48:38,225 --> 01:48:40,560
it throughout. And then it

3221
01:48:40,560 --> 01:48:42,560
talks specifically about

3222
01:48:43,363 --> 01:48:45,165
property taxes then talks

3223
01:48:45,165 --> 01:48:46,433
about the mileage stewardship

3224
01:48:46,433 --> 01:48:47,400
on how we are continuing to

3225
01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:50,136
look at the mileage and

3226
01:48:50,136 --> 01:48:53,136
decreased as we can MR.

3227
01:48:54,641 --> 01:48:55,842
CHAIRMAN.

3228
01:48:55,842 --> 01:48:57,311
>> So that was one of the

3229
01:48:57,311 --> 01:48:57,978
things that's going to talk

3230
01:48:57,978 --> 01:48:59,978
like commissioner comments,

3231
01:49:01,415 --> 01:49:02,115
because I think I think if we

3232
01:49:02,115 --> 01:49:05,552
have we've done, we try to do

3233
01:49:05,552 --> 01:49:07,287
a good job of explaining where

3234
01:49:07,287 --> 01:49:09,687
taxpayers money is utilized.

3235
01:49:11,224 --> 01:49:12,592
Obviously we have. We had a

3236
01:49:12,592 --> 01:49:14,992
situation last Monday night

3237
01:49:15,161 --> 01:49:17,970
with we have a senator come in

3238
01:49:17,970 --> 01:49:17,764
here and and speak the fact

3239
01:49:17,764 --> 01:49:21,964
that are we seeing a lot of

3240
01:49:22,636 --> 01:49:24,636
money. Unfortunately, senator,

3241
01:49:25,339 --> 01:49:28,939
that that ever been in your

3242
01:49:29,843 --> 01:49:33,443
place. She's never been on the

3243
01:49:33,914 --> 01:49:35,782
And I think that I know we've

3244
01:49:35,782 --> 01:49:36,850
talked to talk to the the new

3245
01:49:36,850 --> 01:49:37,517
speaker of the House. Your son

3246
01:49:37,517 --> 01:49:41,117
come to cut this coming in

3247
01:49:41,254 --> 01:49:41,888
next year. And we had a brief

3248
01:49:41,888 --> 01:49:43,888
conversation with Florida

3249
01:49:44,391 --> 01:49:45,920
Association of counties, rebel

3250
01:49:45,920 --> 01:49:49,892
to to how we look at taxes. I

3251
01:49:50,130 --> 01:49:52,320
believe that. I really, truly

3252
01:49:52,320 --> 01:49:54,432
believe that they need.

3253
01:49:55,502 --> 01:49:57,902
>> a better education. And

3254
01:49:58,838 --> 01:50:01,841
quit looking at what plays in

3255
01:50:01,841 --> 01:50:04,110
goal. You was focused. Do

3256
01:50:04,110 --> 01:50:05,212
order to get this property tax

3257
01:50:05,212 --> 01:50:08,812
amendment on the on for the

3258
01:50:09,683 --> 01:50:13,283
for the public. What he's done

3259
01:50:14,588 --> 01:50:15,288
using Tabor, which is product

3260
01:50:15,288 --> 01:50:18,288
that's been use. And Denver,

3261
01:50:19,426 --> 01:50:21,426
Colorado, Colorado since 1992.

3262
01:50:21,695 --> 01:50:22,395
It appears that we have some

3263
01:50:22,395 --> 01:50:24,310
legislators that believe that

3264
01:50:24,310 --> 01:50:26,667
they want to run a bill next

3265
01:50:26,667 --> 01:50:29,937
next year to provide that same

3266
01:50:29,937 --> 01:50:30,570
process. The process basically

3267
01:50:30,570 --> 01:50:32,970
stipulates eu's give an

3268
01:50:35,274 --> 01:50:35,976
example of 2020. Compared to

3269
01:50:35,976 --> 01:50:38,376
2024, whatever you'd like to

3270
01:50:39,680 --> 01:50:41,515
do. At a little bit for

3271
01:50:41,515 --> 01:50:42,249
population growth a little bit

3272
01:50:42,249 --> 01:50:42,916
for inflation and whatever the

3273
01:50:42,916 --> 01:50:45,916
difference is that what you

3274
01:50:48,521 --> 01:50:49,189
wasted? Unfortunately. That

3275
01:50:49,189 --> 01:50:52,189
has caused severe a brewer.

3276
01:50:53,193 --> 01:50:53,760
Can taxpayers? It was meant

3277
01:50:53,760 --> 01:50:56,160
cause severe poor and

3278
01:50:59,100 --> 01:50:59,667
taxpayers. But unfortunately,

3279
01:50:59,667 --> 01:51:02,670
people have no don't

3280
01:51:03,504 --> 01:51:06,504
understand. Or they choose not

3281
01:51:06,540 --> 01:51:07,307
to understand what we have to

3282
01:51:07,307 --> 01:51:09,900
pay for services that

3283
01:51:09,900 --> 01:51:11,111
Legislature pulls down on top

3284
01:51:11,111 --> 01:51:12,120
of us, give you a good

3285
01:51:12,120 --> 01:51:14,412
example. This morning I

3286
01:51:15,916 --> 01:51:18,316
requested the breakout. Issue

3287
01:51:19,620 --> 01:51:21,755
on the sheriff. He was asking

3288
01:51:21,755 --> 01:51:24,755
for additional money for fuel

3289
01:51:24,991 --> 01:51:27,391
and retirement expenses. He

3290
01:51:27,994 --> 01:51:28,696
asked for that because on JULY

3291
01:51:28,696 --> 01:51:30,464
one, the increases Frs, which

3292
01:51:30,464 --> 01:51:32,864
is to retirement for.

3293
01:51:35,135 --> 01:51:37,700
Officers. That we are going to

3294
01:51:37,700 --> 01:51:37,737
pay, that we're liable to pay

3295
01:51:37,737 --> 01:51:40,137
for because they've earned

3296
01:51:42,900 --> 01:51:42,642
that. And the public needed to

3297
01:51:42,642 --> 01:51:43,644
understand that amount of

3298
01:51:43,644 --> 01:51:46,644
money ask for for these

3299
01:51:47,981 --> 01:51:50,381
officers. To increase there

3300
01:51:51,785 --> 01:51:53,785
their retirement was $98,000.

3301
01:51:54,287 --> 01:51:56,389
Fuel was 85,000. He can't help

3302
01:51:56,389 --> 01:52:00,160
to feel he can help. We have 4

3303
01:52:00,160 --> 01:52:02,363
s increases. Because that's

3304
01:52:02,363 --> 01:52:03,430
what we did this with these

3305
01:52:03,430 --> 01:52:04,640
officers required to have a

3306
01:52:04,640 --> 01:52:06,464
retirement when when they

3307
01:52:07,769 --> 01:52:10,169
leave service. The general

3308
01:52:11,171 --> 01:52:12,390
public doesn't see that or use

3309
01:52:12,390 --> 01:52:14,141
of that. They don't see it.

3310
01:52:14,141 --> 01:52:14,808
They don't understand it or

3311
01:52:14,808 --> 01:52:17,678
maybe they just ignored. I

3312
01:52:17,678 --> 01:52:21,278
don't know. But when we put

3313
01:52:21,315 --> 01:52:21,983
put forth a tax and I know use

3314
01:52:21,983 --> 01:52:24,983
this example appear on many

3315
01:52:26,854 --> 01:52:29,490
times of my own tax bill. If

3316
01:52:29,490 --> 01:52:30,560
somebody asked me I was for

3317
01:52:30,560 --> 01:52:30,791
property, tax reform.

3318
01:52:30,791 --> 01:52:33,393
Absolutely reduced by tax bill

3319
01:52:33,393 --> 01:52:36,330
about 42%. So that's cool. Tax

3320
01:52:36,330 --> 01:52:38,532
echo. Still got Waste

3321
01:52:38,532 --> 01:52:41,532
management and fire and ems.

3322
01:52:41,535 --> 01:52:44,438
But yes, it is a reduction.

3323
01:52:44,438 --> 01:52:45,772
But I will tell you up front,

3324
01:52:45,772 --> 01:52:46,474
I don't use the parks and

3325
01:52:46,474 --> 01:52:47,174
recreation, but I got a bunch

3326
01:52:47,174 --> 01:52:50,774
of people here use the parks

3327
01:52:51,711 --> 01:52:53,147
and recreation. I don't go to

3328
01:52:53,147 --> 01:52:53,914
the very often, but I have a

3329
01:52:53,914 --> 01:52:54,582
lot of people in this

3330
01:52:54,582 --> 01:52:56,982
community that utilize the

3331
01:52:59,219 --> 01:53:00,754
library. Veteran services MAY

3332
01:53:00,754 --> 01:53:04,354
be close to senior MAY make

3333
01:53:05,225 --> 01:53:07,895
keep that in mind. People

3334
01:53:07,895 --> 01:53:08,528
don't really understand what

3335
01:53:08,528 --> 01:53:09,196
we fund in the in this

3336
01:53:09,196 --> 01:53:11,596
community and how continue

3337
01:53:12,533 --> 01:53:14,534
hear that your body and this

3338
01:53:14,534 --> 01:53:15,268
is not so much even in this

3339
01:53:15,268 --> 01:53:16,604
community here. But across the

3340
01:53:16,604 --> 01:53:19,400
state of Florida. Governments

3341
01:53:21,800 --> 01:53:24,800
are wasteful. I'm not naive

3342
01:53:24,780 --> 01:53:24,645
enough to sit here and tell

3343
01:53:24,645 --> 01:53:25,246
you their work is not

3344
01:53:25,246 --> 01:53:25,980
something we could hear

3345
01:53:25,980 --> 01:53:28,980
something we could reduce some

3346
01:53:29,717 --> 01:53:33,317
given time. But but you just

3347
01:53:34,788 --> 01:53:37,625
can't come in here and use. A

3348
01:53:37,625 --> 01:53:40,625
sledgehammer. On this type of

3349
01:53:42,562 --> 01:53:43,296
process. Now there's I don't

3350
01:53:43,296 --> 01:53:45,800
get probably get this wrong.

3351
01:53:45,800 --> 01:53:48,350
But there's a tax federation.

3352
01:53:48,350 --> 01:53:49,837
Concept is supposed to be

3353
01:53:49,837 --> 01:53:52,237
implemented next year are

3354
01:53:52,773 --> 01:53:53,440
coming in to review. And

3355
01:53:53,440 --> 01:53:55,642
personally, I think that's

3356
01:53:55,642 --> 01:53:58,312
what should have been used. We

3357
01:53:58,312 --> 01:53:59,513
have tried to do property tax

3358
01:53:59,513 --> 01:54:02,513
reform in 3 days in the

3359
01:54:03,840 --> 01:54:05,484
Legislature. 3 days. Now, I

3360
01:54:07,455 --> 01:54:08,155
will say this Speaker of the

3361
01:54:08,155 --> 01:54:11,391
House put forth a really good

3362
01:54:11,391 --> 01:54:14,391
product. He wanted to. Reuse

3363
01:54:15,763 --> 01:54:17,198
homestead exemption. In

3364
01:54:17,198 --> 01:54:17,898
totality. Not phase it in not

3365
01:54:17,898 --> 01:54:19,266
doing all these little things

3366
01:54:19,266 --> 01:54:22,866
that bill Dustin just good and

3367
01:54:23,370 --> 01:54:25,107
get it done. And personally, I

3368
01:54:25,107 --> 01:54:25,841
would prefer just rip the

3369
01:54:25,841 --> 01:54:26,508
Band-Aid off and get done with

3370
01:54:26,508 --> 01:54:27,342
it. And then we figure out

3371
01:54:27,342 --> 01:54:30,111
what we've got to do but

3372
01:54:30,111 --> 01:54:30,945
trying to faces tough and it's

3373
01:54:30,945 --> 01:54:33,715
very difficult for people to

3374
01:54:33,715 --> 01:54:34,382
sit on this. Take us.

3375
01:54:34,382 --> 01:54:36,382
Functionally understand we

3376
01:54:37,551 --> 01:54:40,388
need tax reform. Sometimes I

3377
01:54:40,388 --> 01:54:41,122
don't believe we're focused on

3378
01:54:41,122 --> 01:54:44,722
what we really need to looking

3379
01:54:44,959 --> 01:54:47,359
on. Tax reform. Just

3380
01:54:50,131 --> 01:54:50,798
accounting. Tiny this up.

3381
01:54:50,798 --> 01:54:54,398
We're doing the best we can

3382
01:54:57,772 --> 01:54:58,472
here. I see I go. One

3383
01:54:58,472 --> 01:54:59,173
individual here that chose to

3384
01:54:59,173 --> 01:55:02,773
come here and listen to what

3385
01:55:03,578 --> 01:55:04,278
we do today. He's working guy.

3386
01:55:04,278 --> 01:55:05,346
He's sitting to use it in his

3387
01:55:05,346 --> 01:55:07,649
audience all day. And listen

3388
01:55:07,649 --> 01:55:10,818
to what we do because I asked

3389
01:55:10,818 --> 01:55:11,518
him to one given time and he

3390
01:55:11,518 --> 01:55:14,518
made some interesting post on

3391
01:55:15,560 --> 01:55:15,656
Facebook. And these pull those

3392
01:55:15,656 --> 01:55:18,656
back because he got an

3393
01:55:19,260 --> 01:55:21,328
education. And I appreciate

3394
01:55:21,328 --> 01:55:22,129
the individual being here

3395
01:55:22,129 --> 01:55:24,598
because that's what it takes

3396
01:55:24,598 --> 01:55:27,598
people to get involved to

3397
01:55:27,768 --> 01:55:30,237
understand what we do up here.

3398
01:55:30,237 --> 01:55:33,775
So when talk about, you know,

3399
01:55:33,775 --> 01:55:34,543
just this letter, I think this

3400
01:55:34,543 --> 01:55:37,445
letter is good I read through

3401
01:55:37,445 --> 01:55:38,790
it and I think it's very good.

3402
01:55:38,790 --> 01:55:38,647
But I think it should be

3403
01:55:38,647 --> 01:55:41,470
published out to the

3404
01:55:43,317 --> 01:55:43,985
communities. The community. To

3405
01:55:43,985 --> 01:55:45,286
let people understand what

3406
01:55:45,286 --> 01:55:47,356
we're doing up here in order

3407
01:55:47,356 --> 01:55:48,889
to run this county. Because

3408
01:55:48,889 --> 01:55:53,890
once in the fall, they need to

3409
01:55:53,940 --> 01:55:53,761
understand this. Senior

3410
01:55:53,761 --> 01:55:54,595
services, veteran services

3411
01:55:54,595 --> 01:55:55,696
parks, recreation libraries.

3412
01:55:55,696 --> 01:55:58,533
We are not by Florida statute

3413
01:55:58,533 --> 01:56:02,133
committed to fund. We do not

3414
01:56:04,500 --> 01:56:04,705
have to fund them. And in

3415
01:56:04,705 --> 01:56:06,974
fact, be quite frankly, when

3416
01:56:06,974 --> 01:56:07,675
they put this initially on

3417
01:56:07,675 --> 01:56:08,342
course services that what we

3418
01:56:08,342 --> 01:56:11,110
have to use the ad valorem

3419
01:56:11,110 --> 01:56:11,680
taxes. The constitutional

3420
01:56:11,680 --> 01:56:14,482
officers 40 or not, even in

3421
01:56:14,482 --> 01:56:18,820
the bill. And we wrote letters

3422
01:56:20,755 --> 01:56:23,625
to change it. 5 up. You're not

3423
01:56:23,625 --> 01:56:24,392
going to not fund veteran

3424
01:56:24,392 --> 01:56:25,930
services for senior services

3425
01:56:25,930 --> 01:56:25,794
or parks recreation for like

3426
01:56:25,794 --> 01:56:29,394
we're going figure out and do

3427
01:56:29,464 --> 01:56:30,732
it. Some way somehow. Whatever

3428
01:56:30,732 --> 01:56:34,332
the whatever is voted on. But

3429
01:56:34,969 --> 01:56:35,703
I want to I think people as

3430
01:56:35,703 --> 01:56:38,703
community should have a little

3431
01:56:39,173 --> 01:56:39,841
bit more insight. And try to

3432
01:56:39,841 --> 01:56:42,241
understand what we're doing

3433
01:56:45,346 --> 01:56:46,800
and how we're doing it. They

3434
01:56:46,800 --> 01:56:46,749
would. It would it would be at

3435
01:56:46,749 --> 01:56:49,749
least a better picture for

3436
01:56:50,510 --> 01:56:51,853
them to say that. Yeah, we

3437
01:56:51,853 --> 01:56:52,520
continue to travel over this

3438
01:56:52,520 --> 01:56:53,121
millage assessed values. We

3439
01:56:53,121 --> 01:56:55,521
don't have control over

3440
01:56:56,524 --> 01:56:57,159
airspace. We really do. But we

3441
01:56:57,159 --> 01:56:59,600
have control over is what

3442
01:56:59,600 --> 01:57:01,620
we've been controlling. For.

3443
01:57:01,620 --> 01:57:02,930
For the for the most part. So

3444
01:57:02,930 --> 01:57:05,930
I appreciate the letter. You

3445
01:57:09,404 --> 01:57:10,710
did a good job on it. I would

3446
01:57:10,710 --> 01:57:13,700
be the first one to make a

3447
01:57:13,700 --> 01:57:13,808
motion to send this letter to

3448
01:57:13,808 --> 01:57:14,442
the Legislature and make sure

3449
01:57:14,442 --> 01:57:15,410
it goes should go to the

3450
01:57:15,410 --> 01:57:19,100
speaker of the House. And to

3451
01:57:21,382 --> 01:57:22,500
the Senate PRESIDENT. And then

3452
01:57:22,500 --> 01:57:25,386
2 who who are ready to our

3453
01:57:25,386 --> 01:57:27,155
reps and our senator. Because

3454
01:57:27,155 --> 01:57:30,155
I think sometimes people in

3455
01:57:31,392 --> 01:57:32,126
Tallahassee needs to have a a

3456
01:57:32,126 --> 01:57:34,526
clear understanding what we're

3457
01:57:36,464 --> 01:57:37,966
going through here. Include in

3458
01:57:37,966 --> 01:57:41,566
their son extend want a blaze.

3459
01:57:44,372 --> 01:57:47,376
Also so he can get started. He

3460
01:57:47,376 --> 01:57:48,309
had a mission. He accomplished

3461
01:57:48,309 --> 01:57:48,977
his mission. I I'm just saying

3462
01:57:48,977 --> 01:57:52,577
could include a you can do

3463
01:57:52,748 --> 01:57:56,348
that. We have a motion. We

3464
01:57:56,885 --> 01:57:57,285
have a second second, ok? For

3465
01:57:57,285 --> 01:57:59,285
discussion.

3466
01:58:01,220 --> 01:58:03,391
>> Like the letter. But what's

3467
01:58:03,391 --> 01:58:04,920
so hard to understand about

3468
01:58:04,920 --> 01:58:05,794
government budgets, you know,

3469
01:58:05,794 --> 01:58:07,194
in a real world, we have as

3470
01:58:07,194 --> 01:58:09,531
says, and we have liabilities

3471
01:58:09,531 --> 01:58:11,499
and the words that I said,

3472
01:58:11,499 --> 01:58:13,334
don't you know, you have.

3473
01:58:13,334 --> 01:58:15,337
Incomes say, you know what,

3474
01:58:15,337 --> 01:58:17,500
you but you can spend that

3475
01:58:17,500 --> 01:58:17,705
year, you know, and you really

3476
01:58:17,705 --> 01:58:18,273
only keep some for reserves.

3477
01:58:18,273 --> 01:58:21,273
She had to make sure

3478
01:58:23,644 --> 01:58:26,440
everything's covered. If we

3479
01:58:30,118 --> 01:58:31,190
don't have grants escalate and

3480
01:58:31,190 --> 01:58:32,187
that's what happens in grants,

3481
01:58:32,187 --> 01:58:34,289
the financing of the jail.

3482
01:58:34,289 --> 01:58:34,989
Everything goes on top of it.

3483
01:58:34,989 --> 01:58:37,726
And I don't take legislators

3484
01:58:37,726 --> 01:58:39,928
have a clue and other good at

3485
01:58:39,928 --> 01:58:40,662
respect for them. I mean, I

3486
01:58:40,662 --> 01:58:42,931
don't think they've ever been.

3487
01:58:42,931 --> 01:58:43,632
And local government. It

3488
01:58:43,632 --> 01:58:47,232
doesn't make sense of what we

3489
01:58:48,103 --> 01:58:49,371
have to calculate it. You know

3490
01:58:49,371 --> 01:58:50,720
it. But salon where and we're

3491
01:58:50,720 --> 01:58:52,607
going by. But but what really

3492
01:58:52,607 --> 01:58:55,176
like to see is this is this is

3493
01:58:55,176 --> 01:58:57,450
our income. Take out the

3494
01:58:57,450 --> 01:59:00,150
grants. Check out things. This

3495
01:59:00,150 --> 01:59:01,500
is what we fund and, you know,

3496
01:59:01,500 --> 01:59:05,250
find out it's a whole lot less

3497
01:59:07,723 --> 01:59:08,256
than 106. Change MAY rel most

3498
01:59:08,256 --> 01:59:08,957
to let little below

3499
01:59:08,957 --> 01:59:11,159
200 million dollars just as a

3500
01:59:11,159 --> 01:59:12,461
big there's a big difference.

3501
01:59:12,461 --> 01:59:13,329
And I don't have to get that

3502
01:59:13,329 --> 01:59:14,290
out to the people of the

3503
01:59:14,290 --> 01:59:14,764
legislators, but they needed

3504
01:59:14,764 --> 01:59:18,964
that they need to have a have.

3505
01:59:19,768 --> 01:59:20,869
I mean. I'd be surprised if

3506
01:59:20,869 --> 01:59:21,904
they have to go to ethics. We

3507
01:59:21,904 --> 01:59:23,171
have good that every year, but

3508
01:59:23,171 --> 01:59:25,406
I'd like to see them take a

3509
01:59:25,406 --> 01:59:25,974
course in the fight and in the

3510
01:59:25,974 --> 01:59:26,608
financing said they'd

3511
01:59:26,608 --> 01:59:28,877
understand what we do it

3512
01:59:28,877 --> 01:59:29,578
because when they turned out,

3513
01:59:29,578 --> 01:59:33,778
they want to come back and do

3514
01:59:36,284 --> 01:59:38,553
our Do that. But the part that

3515
01:59:38,553 --> 01:59:39,254
amaze me was to comment that

3516
01:59:39,254 --> 01:59:41,654
Legislature made Monday night

3517
01:59:42,424 --> 01:59:43,158
said that this does pass.

3518
01:59:43,158 --> 01:59:43,863
We're going take it to the tax

3519
01:59:43,863 --> 01:59:45,293
reform group that meets what

3520
01:59:45,293 --> 01:59:48,293
every 10 years we're going go

3521
01:59:50,465 --> 01:59:51,166
in a That's like saying, you

3522
01:59:51,166 --> 01:59:54,766
know, if you put a referendum

3523
01:59:55,437 --> 01:59:57,372
out there for one cent sales

3524
01:59:57,372 --> 01:59:58,473
tax for both fails and the

3525
01:59:58,473 --> 01:59:59,174
people voted down and we do it

3526
01:59:59,174 --> 01:59:59,841
ourselves. I mean, that that

3527
01:59:59,841 --> 02:00:02,611
makes no sense to me is is

3528
02:00:02,611 --> 02:00:04,780
that kind of add to that?

3529
02:00:04,780 --> 02:00:05,948
That's that's what we're faced

3530
02:00:05,948 --> 02:00:07,150
with We're going to go one way

3531
02:00:07,150 --> 02:00:07,716
or the other. And she was very

3532
02:00:07,716 --> 02:00:08,717
plain about and they're super

3533
02:00:08,717 --> 02:00:10,319
nice lady. I'm not I'm not

3534
02:00:10,319 --> 02:00:13,319
taking anything away from her.

3535
02:00:13,321 --> 02:00:16,324
But and she was very plain

3536
02:00:16,324 --> 02:00:19,324
about. We have to regulate

3537
02:00:19,495 --> 02:00:21,895
local government. That's what

3538
02:00:23,533 --> 02:00:24,166
we're up against. You know.

3539
02:00:24,166 --> 02:00:27,166
Jeff Brandes made a good

3540
02:00:28,536 --> 02:00:29,438
comment. And it was on x the

3541
02:00:29,438 --> 02:00:33,380
other day and brandished is a

3542
02:00:34,142 --> 02:00:34,843
former senator and he's going

3543
02:00:34,843 --> 02:00:37,243
>> speaker is been speaking,

3544
02:00:37,646 --> 02:00:38,347
spoke at our conference. He

3545
02:00:38,347 --> 02:00:40,148
said this is not about money

3546
02:00:40,148 --> 02:00:43,148
any longer. This is about

3547
02:00:44,186 --> 02:00:46,288
power. This is about power

3548
02:00:46,288 --> 02:00:48,688
from sitting in Tallahassee

3549
02:00:50,225 --> 02:00:51,260
and controlling things. And

3550
02:00:51,260 --> 02:00:54,290
it's also biggest comment. Was

3551
02:00:54,290 --> 02:00:57,290
this just see initial aspect

3552
02:00:59,435 --> 02:01:00,202
of socialist type of approach?

3553
02:01:00,202 --> 02:01:01,360
And he made that very clear

3554
02:01:01,360 --> 02:01:01,704
on. And I think that really

3555
02:01:01,704 --> 02:01:04,104
believes that because he's

3556
02:01:04,840 --> 02:01:07,509
been there. And if you take a

3557
02:01:07,509 --> 02:01:11,130
look at it, appears that so.

3558
02:01:11,130 --> 02:01:13,983
They they want to control.

3559
02:01:13,983 --> 02:01:16,383
Cities and municipality's. And

3560
02:01:18,688 --> 02:01:19,289
counties from Tallahassee. And

3561
02:01:19,289 --> 02:01:21,657
I know when I talked to

3562
02:01:21,657 --> 02:01:24,657
Garrison speaker of the House

3563
02:01:26,461 --> 02:01:27,163
he'd Erie did not to. The

3564
02:01:27,163 --> 02:01:28,300
shot. He didn't shy away from

3565
02:01:28,300 --> 02:01:28,764
approach too much. But he did

3566
02:01:28,764 --> 02:01:29,699
show you say that he was going

3567
02:01:29,699 --> 02:01:32,635
to give us that they would

3568
02:01:32,635 --> 02:01:33,336
give a They give us all the

3569
02:01:33,336 --> 02:01:34,360
tools that we needed in order

3570
02:01:34,360 --> 02:01:38,836
to do what we need to do out

3571
02:01:39,308 --> 02:01:40,642
here. So took that is yes, we

3572
02:01:40,642 --> 02:01:41,510
can do special assessments. We

3573
02:01:41,510 --> 02:01:42,144
can do whatever we want to

3574
02:01:42,144 --> 02:01:45,744
hear in order to back to

3575
02:01:45,881 --> 02:01:46,582
whatever money. So that which

3576
02:01:46,582 --> 02:01:48,818
doesn't doesn't really prove

3577
02:01:48,818 --> 02:01:50,752
anything one way or the other.

3578
02:01:50,752 --> 02:01:51,821
Take shift. It's just attack

3579
02:01:51,821 --> 02:01:54,189
shift. And that's what I told

3580
02:01:54,189 --> 02:01:56,592
him. The media's attack shift

3581
02:01:56,592 --> 02:01:59,895
to non ad valorem tax payers

3582
02:01:59,895 --> 02:02:01,363
when social a blame shift.

3583
02:02:01,363 --> 02:02:03,465
Well, it's been a blank ship

3584
02:02:03,465 --> 02:02:04,133
constantly. But you something

3585
02:02:04,133 --> 02:02:07,202
had we try to fight it. You

3586
02:02:07,202 --> 02:02:07,904
know, to be honest, and I'm

3587
02:02:07,904 --> 02:02:09,705
not going to fight it longer.

3588
02:02:09,705 --> 02:02:11,106
And I think the commissioner

3589
02:02:11,106 --> 02:02:14,106
come out this morning and

3590
02:02:15,110 --> 02:02:16,512
Martin County. He basically

3591
02:02:16,512 --> 02:02:17,213
said it was going to cause 114

3592
02:02:17,213 --> 02:02:20,213
firefighters are going to be

3593
02:02:21,350 --> 02:02:22,180
laid off next not want to do

3594
02:02:22,180 --> 02:02:22,718
that. He but they're going

3595
02:02:22,718 --> 02:02:23,419
they're there. We're going to

3596
02:02:23,419 --> 02:02:24,860
figure a way to try to avoid

3597
02:02:24,860 --> 02:02:27,230
it. But that's what they're

3598
02:02:27,230 --> 02:02:27,757
trying to force our hand.

3599
02:02:27,757 --> 02:02:30,757
Everybody says now what you're

3600
02:02:33,296 --> 02:02:35,331
you're crying, wolf. That's

3601
02:02:35,331 --> 02:02:35,998
that's the menu and social

3602
02:02:35,998 --> 02:02:38,998
media and the news crying,

3603
02:02:39,602 --> 02:02:40,236
Wolf. Because now, you know,

3604
02:02:40,236 --> 02:02:43,236
you're gonna you need to

3605
02:02:43,872 --> 02:02:46,872
tighten your belts. And MR.

3606
02:02:48,611 --> 02:02:51,611
I'm sorry. Couldn't agree. MR.

3607
02:02:53,315 --> 02:02:54,160
And Commissioner Burrows a

3608
02:02:54,160 --> 02:02:54,650
well stories and touched on.

3609
02:02:54,650 --> 02:02:57,500
But but mention something

3610
02:02:57,887 --> 02:02:58,554
that.

3611
02:02:58,554 --> 02:03:00,322
>> We've been fighting for

3612
02:03:00,322 --> 02:03:03,322
several years. And that's how

3613
02:03:04,930 --> 02:03:05,527
to retain local control.

3614
02:03:05,527 --> 02:03:08,527
Because people don't run into

3615
02:03:09,398 --> 02:03:10,132
their state. Senators Walmart.

3616
02:03:10,132 --> 02:03:12,368
Or at the at the barbershop or

3617
02:03:12,368 --> 02:03:15,671
to feed store where we hear

3618
02:03:15,671 --> 02:03:18,700
from everybody all the time.

3619
02:03:18,700 --> 02:03:19,609
You know, it's a great thing.

3620
02:03:19,609 --> 02:03:22,609
This local government is the

3621
02:03:23,413 --> 02:03:25,314
closest to the people.

3622
02:03:25,314 --> 02:03:28,314
Tallahassee has been trying to

3623
02:03:28,918 --> 02:03:29,618
wrestle control. Of local

3624
02:03:29,618 --> 02:03:32,180
government for several years.

3625
02:03:33,890 --> 02:03:36,260
And we fight it every year. So

3626
02:03:36,260 --> 02:03:38,195
the I've told people This tax

3627
02:03:38,195 --> 02:03:38,861
reform bills, not about

3628
02:03:38,861 --> 02:03:41,261
property taxes. It's about

3629
02:03:43,199 --> 02:03:43,833
control. All about control of

3630
02:03:43,833 --> 02:03:45,634
the state trying to take

3631
02:03:45,634 --> 02:03:47,634
control local government.

3632
02:03:53,209 --> 02:03:53,876
It's. It's a lot different.

3633
02:03:53,876 --> 02:03:54,410
The other states, senator,

3634
02:03:54,410 --> 02:03:55,770
that being a county

3635
02:03:55,770 --> 02:03:56,779
commissioner, we get phone

3636
02:03:56,779 --> 02:03:57,479
calls from our friends and

3637
02:03:57,479 --> 02:04:00,479
neighbors and people. We know

3638
02:04:01,117 --> 02:04:02,317
people we don't know. It's

3639
02:04:02,317 --> 02:04:04,553
hard to go into the grocery

3640
02:04:04,553 --> 02:04:05,255
store, something that not have

3641
02:04:05,255 --> 02:04:09,455
some way staff. A I got I've

3642
02:04:13,562 --> 02:04:14,230
got a problem. So. This food

3643
02:04:14,230 --> 02:04:15,898
that this is a like hidden

3644
02:04:15,898 --> 02:04:18,668
agenda in mind in my mind that

3645
02:04:18,668 --> 02:04:21,668
this is all about. Taking

3646
02:04:23,506 --> 02:04:25,241
local shift in its

3647
02:04:25,241 --> 02:04:25,908
Tallahassee. And to me this,

3648
02:04:25,908 --> 02:04:29,378
what was buried in this tax

3649
02:04:29,378 --> 02:04:32,978
reform bill from day one. And

3650
02:04:34,650 --> 02:04:35,351
i still believe it 100%. It's

3651
02:04:35,351 --> 02:04:36,850
it's I think it's starting to

3652
02:04:36,850 --> 02:04:37,920
come light. Some people are to

3653
02:04:37,920 --> 02:04:41,124
see. So that's what this is

3654
02:04:41,124 --> 02:04:43,192
all about. Another thing,

3655
02:04:43,192 --> 02:04:46,792
people notice it. We don't pay

3656
02:04:48,932 --> 02:04:49,798
taxes too. Every commissioner

3657
02:04:49,798 --> 02:04:51,834
here has has has property in

3658
02:04:51,834 --> 02:04:52,902
this county that we pay taxes

3659
02:04:52,902 --> 02:04:55,902
owed love month. Nothing more

3660
02:05:01,911 --> 02:05:05,511
than it paid There's a Acosta

3661
02:05:06,315 --> 02:05:09,152
live Society and educate our

3662
02:05:09,152 --> 02:05:12,722
youth take care of over a

3663
02:05:12,722 --> 02:05:13,422
people live here. Most people

3664
02:05:13,422 --> 02:05:16,493
don't know that we are seeing

3665
02:05:16,493 --> 02:05:17,159
are services feeds

3666
02:05:17,159 --> 02:05:19,159
approximately 125 people a

3667
02:05:20,796 --> 02:05:21,498
day. Delivers, I mean,

3668
02:05:21,498 --> 02:05:23,132
delivers or meals. They also

3669
02:05:23,132 --> 02:05:25,602
feed people in the at the

3670
02:05:25,602 --> 02:05:27,602
senior services department.

3671
02:05:27,770 --> 02:05:29,639
And food is cooked. By the

3672
02:05:29,639 --> 02:05:32,390
sheriff's Department. In the

3673
02:05:32,942 --> 02:05:36,542
in the kitchen. At the jail.

3674
02:05:36,579 --> 02:05:37,279
And this is all stuff that if

3675
02:05:37,279 --> 02:05:37,981
you have somebody, should we

3676
02:05:37,981 --> 02:05:38,682
stop feeding the people that

3677
02:05:38,682 --> 02:05:41,884
can't get out and go get food

3678
02:05:41,884 --> 02:05:44,860
will know you can't do that.

3679
02:05:44,860 --> 02:05:44,787
But most people don't realize

3680
02:05:44,787 --> 02:05:47,123
that's their tax dollars goes

3681
02:05:47,123 --> 02:05:49,225
to that. It funds supervisor

3682
02:05:49,225 --> 02:05:52,225
of elections. Your tax dollars

3683
02:05:53,630 --> 02:05:56,630
to. Pays electric bill there

3684
02:05:57,934 --> 02:05:58,735
and it in for toilet paper and

3685
02:05:58,735 --> 02:06:00,803
copy paper and everything that

3686
02:06:00,803 --> 02:06:03,203
operate. Our election system.

3687
02:06:04,173 --> 02:06:07,773
Is paid for by your county.

3688
02:06:08,545 --> 02:06:09,145
So. Every building that that

3689
02:06:09,145 --> 02:06:10,146
these people are in 3rd

3690
02:06:10,146 --> 02:06:12,146
biggest, some state

3691
02:06:14,584 --> 02:06:15,785
assistance. But the county's

3692
02:06:15,785 --> 02:06:16,486
the county owns the buildings

3693
02:06:16,486 --> 02:06:18,121
and maintains the building's

3694
02:06:18,121 --> 02:06:18,788
fixes air conditioners and the

3695
02:06:18,788 --> 02:06:21,291
in the in the plumbing leak

3696
02:06:21,291 --> 02:06:24,891
soon. All of that stuff to

3697
02:06:26,696 --> 02:06:27,363
keep cogs in in this and this

3698
02:06:27,363 --> 02:06:29,999
machine going so people can

3699
02:06:29,999 --> 02:06:32,999
have. The the freedoms that

3700
02:06:36,739 --> 02:06:39,139
they want. Any further

3701
02:06:41,244 --> 02:06:42,110
discussion. All in favor of

3702
02:06:42,110 --> 02:06:44,947
the motion say Aye. Aye. All

3703
02:06:44,947 --> 02:06:45,748
opposed. Nay motion carries

3704
02:06:45,748 --> 02:06:46,449
unanimously.

3705
02:06:46,449 --> 02:06:48,518
>> Sorry about that. Missed.

3706
02:06:48,518 --> 02:06:49,252
Just can we went down the

3707
02:06:49,252 --> 02:06:52,252
rabbit trail? That's okay open

3708
02:06:52,455 --> 02:06:54,157
the whole idea

3709
02:06:54,157 --> 02:06:57,827

02:13:37,261 --> 02:13:38,763
of the amount of people who

3892
02:13:38,763 --> 02:13:40,765
came. The average dwelling

3893
02:13:40,765 --> 02:13:41,666
there was 175 minutes. So I

3894
02:13:41,666 --> 02:13:43,340
mean, that's a significant

3895
02:13:43,340 --> 02:13:46,340
amount time that people stayed

3896
02:13:47,380 --> 02:13:48,139
at that site during that

3897
02:13:48,139 --> 02:13:48,806
event. So, you know, there was

3898
02:13:48,806 --> 02:13:51,509
a lot of really good things

3899
02:13:51,509 --> 02:13:54,120
that came from that we looked

3900
02:13:54,120 --> 02:13:55,140
at the economic impact,

3901
02:13:55,140 --> 02:13:58,140
Jacqueline and and Matt, it

3902
02:13:58,450 --> 02:13:59,351
provided me this information

3903
02:13:59,351 --> 02:13:59,985
just from the economic impact

3904
02:13:59,985 --> 02:14:03,585
that they were able for a

3905
02:14:05,890 --> 02:14:06,491
one-day event 300 or $235,000

3906
02:14:06,491 --> 02:14:08,891
in economic impact that

3907
02:14:08,927 --> 02:14:10,995
brought into county for that

3908
02:14:10,995 --> 02:14:11,662
day so they can tell when they

3909
02:14:11,662 --> 02:14:14,699
go to Publix, they can tell

3910
02:14:14,699 --> 02:14:15,900
when they go to McDonalds,

3911
02:14:15,900 --> 02:14:17,101
those people who are logged on

3912
02:14:17,101 --> 02:14:17,802
that site, they can actually

3913
02:14:17,802 --> 02:14:21,173
let tell you every place they

3914
02:14:21,173 --> 02:14:22,473
go throughout the day by data

3915
02:14:22,473 --> 02:14:24,242
that's provided. So they can

3916
02:14:24,242 --> 02:14:24,943
tell me how many people are at

3917
02:14:24,943 --> 02:14:26,770
McDonald's. They can tell me

3918
02:14:26,770 --> 02:14:28,313
if they stayed overnight at a

3919
02:14:28,313 --> 02:14:29,147
hotel. I mean, the data that

3920
02:14:29,147 --> 02:14:31,449
the data collection were able

3921
02:14:31,449 --> 02:14:33,151
to get on. That is pretty

3922
02:14:33,151 --> 02:14:33,885
impressive. And I would like

3923
02:14:33,885 --> 02:14:37,485
to thank them for that. And

3924
02:14:37,989 --> 02:14:39,357
and also the promoter for

3925
02:14:39,357 --> 02:14:40,570
bringing that here. I mean,

3926
02:14:40,570 --> 02:14:40,758
that's that's something that

3927
02:14:40,758 --> 02:14:43,761
was here as I was a child. I

3928
02:14:43,761 --> 02:14:44,463
know or younger. And it kind

3929
02:14:44,463 --> 02:14:45,197
of disappeared in to see that

3930
02:14:45,197 --> 02:14:45,797
back here, I think is a really

3931
02:14:45,797 --> 02:14:48,166
good thing and we'll be

3932
02:14:48,166 --> 02:14:50,680
working with them to try to

3933
02:14:50,680 --> 02:14:52,103
help them get back here for

3934
02:14:52,103 --> 02:14:52,837
more events. And then also,

3935
02:14:52,837 --> 02:14:55,140
you know, there are some local

3936
02:14:55,140 --> 02:14:56,908
business owners who did help

3937
02:14:56,908 --> 02:14:57,608
with that. You know, we had a

3938
02:14:57,608 --> 02:14:59,911
local business owner. I would

3939
02:14:59,911 --> 02:15:01,146
like to thank them for

3940
02:15:01,146 --> 02:15:01,980
stepping up because it was

3941
02:15:01,980 --> 02:15:02,782
such a short notice. The

3942
02:15:02,782 --> 02:15:03,449
county didn't get the permits.

3943
02:15:03,449 --> 02:15:05,849
Everything from the vendor

3944
02:15:07,519 --> 02:15:08,120
until Friday afternoon. Local

3945
02:15:08,120 --> 02:15:09,954
then there came out and

3946
02:15:09,954 --> 02:15:12,190
provide a portal. It at no

3947
02:15:12,190 --> 02:15:13,291
cost to the vendor or the

3948
02:15:13,291 --> 02:15:15,760
county. So, you know, not that

3949
02:15:15,760 --> 02:15:16,627
those participations we see

3950
02:15:16,627 --> 02:15:18,396
locally that they're so

3951
02:15:18,396 --> 02:15:21,299
enthusiastic to come in and

3952
02:15:21,299 --> 02:15:23,340
help. Not just the county, not

3953
02:15:23,340 --> 02:15:24,135
just county itself, but the

3954
02:15:24,135 --> 02:15:27,390
promoters to bring in those

3955
02:15:27,390 --> 02:15:28,406
types of events pretty neat. C

3956
02:15:28,406 --> 02:15:30,800
so I would like to thank

3957
02:15:30,800 --> 02:15:30,742
everybody who was involved in

3958
02:15:30,742 --> 02:15:31,409
making that happen. And I look

3959
02:15:31,409 --> 02:15:34,409
forward to that being a

3960
02:15:35,213 --> 02:15:35,780
long-term partnership with not

3961
02:15:35,780 --> 02:15:36,447
just that entity, but

3962
02:15:36,447 --> 02:15:39,447
hopefully others to do the

3963
02:15:40,152 --> 02:15:40,852
same type stuff because that's

3964
02:15:40,852 --> 02:15:41,519
the goal. That's our goal is

3965
02:15:41,519 --> 02:15:43,388
to make the you know, it's

3966
02:15:43,388 --> 02:15:44,823
it's not really revenue for

3967
02:15:44,823 --> 02:15:46,240
the county. I know people look

3968
02:15:46,240 --> 02:15:48,250
at it like, you know, what is

3969
02:15:48,250 --> 02:15:49,294
that? It's it's what it brings

3970
02:15:49,294 --> 02:15:49,961
an economically. And that was

3971
02:15:49,961 --> 02:15:52,961
a significant for a one-day

3972
02:15:55,000 --> 02:15:55,734
event. Justin has that don't

3973
02:15:55,734 --> 02:15:56,434
impact your your ability to

3974
02:15:56,434 --> 02:15:59,370
have all the people they want

3975
02:15:59,370 --> 02:15:59,671
put your fence up.

3976
02:15:59,671 --> 02:16:00,706
>> So my fence, it won't

3977
02:16:00,706 --> 02:16:03,106
impact. They'll still have

3978
02:16:04,142 --> 02:16:05,377
entrance and exits to that to

3979
02:16:05,377 --> 02:16:07,450
that same site, we're not

3980
02:16:07,450 --> 02:16:08,580
restricting any of that grass

3981
02:16:08,580 --> 02:16:09,181
area. What we're restricting

3982
02:16:09,181 --> 02:16:11,581
is those accept having

3983
02:16:11,616 --> 02:16:12,852
multiple access points, they

3984
02:16:12,852 --> 02:16:14,353
will still be able to access

3985
02:16:14,353 --> 02:16:15,420
from through the air. But

3986
02:16:15,420 --> 02:16:19,200
launch has a turnout that will

3987
02:16:20,580 --> 02:16:22,127
turn out onto the grass area.

3988
02:16:22,127 --> 02:16:24,295
So we there is no restriction

3989
02:16:24,295 --> 02:16:26,198
and that does I'm But what it

3990
02:16:26,198 --> 02:16:26,899
does restrict is it restricts

3991
02:16:26,899 --> 02:16:28,533
the guy who wants to take his

3992
02:16:28,533 --> 02:16:29,835
truck jump off the edge of the

3993
02:16:29,835 --> 02:16:32,570
of the concrete and create

3994
02:16:32,570 --> 02:16:33,171
those significantly huge

3995
02:16:33,171 --> 02:16:35,741
washout will be able to

3996
02:16:35,741 --> 02:16:36,708
control all of that. Now with

3997
02:16:36,708 --> 02:16:38,443
the fencing. So the areas

3998
02:16:38,443 --> 02:16:40,745
still going to be open to the

3999
02:16:40,745 --> 02:16:41,447
public. We still have will

4000
02:16:41,447 --> 02:16:42,147
have walked 3 passes through

4001
02:16:42,147 --> 02:16:44,349
the fencing from one end all

4002
02:16:44,349 --> 02:16:45,851
the way to the other. It's

4003
02:16:45,851 --> 02:16:47,552
just going to be vehicles to

4004
02:16:47,552 --> 02:16:50,552
get to that space walk,

4005
02:16:50,722 --> 02:16:52,424
shifty, use that designated

4006
02:16:52,424 --> 02:16:54,493
entrance. And that was part of

4007
02:16:54,493 --> 02:16:57,996
what the court wanted to see.

4008
02:16:57,996 --> 02:16:59,965
Also as to try to help control

4009
02:16:59,965 --> 02:17:01,133
some of the turbidity in the

4010
02:17:01,133 --> 02:17:03,702
other things. So they are but

4011
02:17:03,702 --> 02:17:05,136
launch will actually improve

4012
02:17:05,136 --> 02:17:05,771
that for those people who use

4013
02:17:05,771 --> 02:17:09,371
and use it for the right

4014
02:17:09,374 --> 02:17:10,750
purposes. So we will still

4015
02:17:10,750 --> 02:17:11,843
have a significant amount of

4016
02:17:11,843 --> 02:17:13,912
travel watch area there. I

4017
02:17:13,912 --> 02:17:14,613
mean, we're Terry, we're

4018
02:17:14,613 --> 02:17:15,781
taking a very minimal amount

4019
02:17:15,781 --> 02:17:19,381
of dry watch out with the

4020
02:17:20,653 --> 02:17:22,155
actual but launch so and it

4021
02:17:22,155 --> 02:17:22,855
will get it will give a better

4022
02:17:22,855 --> 02:17:25,424
opportunity to not have to be

4023
02:17:25,424 --> 02:17:26,580
down there fixed an burnouts

4024
02:17:26,580 --> 02:17:29,580
and mud holes that people

4025
02:17:29,995 --> 02:17:30,729
created. So pretty excited to

4026
02:17:30,729 --> 02:17:33,640
see that that move forward.

4027
02:17:33,640 --> 02:17:34,632
Working with the Army Corps to

4028
02:17:34,632 --> 02:17:35,434
go ahead and get are finalized

4029
02:17:35,434 --> 02:17:39,634
to to set that date. I think

4030
02:17:40,939 --> 02:17:42,741
we have a preliminary date for

4031
02:17:42,741 --> 02:17:44,176
preconstruction meeting for

4032
02:17:44,176 --> 02:17:44,943
AUGUST 13th. We're just

4033
02:17:44,943 --> 02:17:45,644
waiting on a few things back

4034
02:17:45,644 --> 02:17:49,244
from the court. If that works

4035
02:17:50,182 --> 02:17:51,650
with their schedule. Other

4036
02:17:51,650 --> 02:17:52,351
than that, that's really all I

4037
02:17:52,351 --> 02:17:52,984
have. But I would like to say

4038
02:17:52,984 --> 02:17:56,584
we do have a staff member

4039
02:17:58,256 --> 02:17:59,525
who's out you in the hospital,

4040
02:17:59,525 --> 02:18:01,393
if everyone could please pray

4041
02:18:01,393 --> 02:18:01,993
for them and their family,

4042
02:18:01,993 --> 02:18:04,393
they someone who's very

4043
02:18:05,831 --> 02:18:06,865
important to this to this

4044
02:18:06,865 --> 02:18:08,700
establishment and very good

4045
02:18:08,700 --> 02:18:09,367
friend to all of us. So if you

4046
02:18:09,367 --> 02:18:12,367
could, please just pray on

4047
02:18:14,907 --> 02:18:18,507
their behalf. So I got chief.

4048
02:18:19,110 --> 02:18:19,811
Yes, sir. Thank CHAIRMAN.

4049
02:18:19,811 --> 02:18:22,648
>> Also want to give a shout

4050
02:18:22,648 --> 02:18:23,816
out the parks and Recs staff

4051
02:18:23,816 --> 02:18:26,418
for those events. They went

4052
02:18:26,418 --> 02:18:28,520
off very well. I was happy

4053
02:18:28,520 --> 02:18:30,524
with them. Issues come issues

4054
02:18:30,524 --> 02:18:31,624
but thoughts come up and also

4055
02:18:31,624 --> 02:18:33,192
have been coming around for a

4056
02:18:33,192 --> 02:18:33,926
couple years that between the

4057
02:18:33,926 --> 02:18:35,995
sheriff and I on public safety

4058
02:18:35,995 --> 02:18:37,729
and some of these events and I

4059
02:18:37,729 --> 02:18:40,729
reached out to Justin Staff

4060
02:18:41,566 --> 02:18:42,802
and and they really jumped on

4061
02:18:42,802 --> 02:18:44,700
it. Specialist Shannon

4062
02:18:44,700 --> 02:18:44,770
wrangling, all of those people

4063
02:18:44,770 --> 02:18:45,404
to create an appointment that

4064
02:18:45,404 --> 02:18:47,539
they work for all of our

4065
02:18:47,539 --> 02:18:49,308
calendars. But for the first

4066
02:18:49,308 --> 02:18:50,475
time, a long time, it really

4067
02:18:50,475 --> 02:18:52,244
felt like all the departments

4068
02:18:52,244 --> 02:18:54,179
are clicking together. So that

4069
02:18:54,179 --> 02:18:55,881
was it's just it's just good

4070
02:18:55,881 --> 02:18:56,615
to see things coming together

4071
02:18:56,615 --> 02:18:58,160
at. I appreciate all the staff

4072
02:18:58,160 --> 02:19:01,160
together with that being said,

4073
02:19:02,221 --> 02:19:03,550
the been trying to. And bed

4074
02:19:03,550 --> 02:19:03,622
myself in the community

4075
02:19:03,622 --> 02:19:04,257
development with the

4076
02:19:04,257 --> 02:19:05,891
restructuring of bin over

4077
02:19:05,891 --> 02:19:08,891
visiting with those and but

4078
02:19:09,462 --> 02:19:10,129
time spent with Bill and Beth

4079
02:19:10,129 --> 02:19:13,729
and Kevin and the page the

4080
02:19:13,799 --> 02:19:15,133
whole group group over there.

4081
02:19:15,133 --> 02:19:16,368
I'm excited to see some of the

4082
02:19:16,368 --> 02:19:17,690
things that that I want to be

4083
02:19:17,690 --> 02:19:19,400
able to to to help transform

4084
02:19:19,400 --> 02:19:19,705
over there that the staff is.

4085
02:19:19,705 --> 02:19:22,475
It is anxious is probably not

4086
02:19:22,475 --> 02:19:25,144
the word excited about some

4087
02:19:25,144 --> 02:19:25,811
stuff that we think we can get

4088
02:19:25,811 --> 02:19:28,811
done. There and improve the

4089
02:19:28,848 --> 02:19:30,816
services for the community.

4090
02:19:30,816 --> 02:19:32,885
Already working hard. And I

4091
02:19:32,885 --> 02:19:33,886
think of with a little bit of

4092
02:19:33,886 --> 02:19:34,953
some just implementing some of

4093
02:19:34,953 --> 02:19:35,621
their ideas. I'm excited to

4094
02:19:35,621 --> 02:19:38,658
see some of the things that

4095
02:19:38,658 --> 02:19:39,859
are going to happen over there

4096
02:19:39,859 --> 02:19:40,526
other than that tomorrow night

4097
02:19:40,526 --> 02:19:41,161
we're having another family

4098
02:19:41,161 --> 02:19:42,461
night Fire rescue at the

4099
02:19:42,461 --> 02:19:43,696
pavilion. 6 o'clock.

4100
02:19:43,696 --> 02:19:45,696
Everybody's course. Always

4101
02:19:47,800 --> 02:19:49,134
welcome. But our Ashley Peas

4102
02:19:49,134 --> 02:19:49,836
are double from harassment. So

4103
02:19:49,836 --> 02:19:51,700
we're excited about that.

4104
02:19:51,700 --> 02:19:51,738
That's growing in. The

4105
02:19:51,738 --> 02:19:52,405
families are excited. We're

4106
02:19:52,405 --> 02:19:53,573
going to set up the bounce

4107
02:19:53,573 --> 02:19:54,273
house in the water slide for

4108
02:19:54,273 --> 02:19:57,273
the kids. Looking forward to

4109
02:20:00,879 --> 02:20:04,383
that. And that's all I got.

4110
02:20:04,383 --> 02:20:05,718
>> First, the level of permit.

4111
02:20:05,718 --> 02:20:06,418
Ms Smith in a code enforcement

4112
02:20:06,418 --> 02:20:08,654
staff. But when I looked over

4113
02:20:08,654 --> 02:20:10,155
that, special measures since

4114
02:20:10,155 --> 02:20:13,393
last, I mean, it's you'd have

4115
02:20:13,393 --> 02:20:14,930
to have a role paper to put it

4116
02:20:14,930 --> 02:20:16,962
all that's going in and a lot

4117
02:20:16,962 --> 02:20:19,980
of good things happening there

4118
02:20:19,980 --> 02:20:21,300
now. Think that we probably

4119
02:20:21,300 --> 02:20:21,968
need to give them some

4120
02:20:21,968 --> 02:20:22,668
support. If they bring back

4121
02:20:22,668 --> 02:20:24,136
some time and talk about the

4122
02:20:24,136 --> 02:20:27,736
food truck issue, it would it

4123
02:20:28,941 --> 02:20:29,842
would be great let's find out

4124
02:20:29,842 --> 02:20:30,676
what the rules are, what

4125
02:20:30,676 --> 02:20:31,376
they're not. If there's

4126
02:20:31,376 --> 02:20:32,780
anything we can do to support

4127
02:20:32,780 --> 02:20:35,780
them in their efforts keeping

4128
02:20:37,516 --> 02:20:38,116
him. Within the regulations,

4129
02:20:38,116 --> 02:20:41,116
it be making it pretty

4130
02:20:42,155 --> 02:20:44,290
yesterday. Also, I would like

4131
02:20:44,290 --> 02:20:45,958
to talk about the there's 2

4132
02:20:45,958 --> 02:20:48,958
different levels of U.S.

4133
02:20:48,995 --> 02:20:49,696
Development. There's a one for

4134
02:20:49,696 --> 02:20:50,263
the family, minimum Scipione

4135
02:20:50,263 --> 02:20:50,964
over 100 acres. And I

4136
02:20:50,964 --> 02:20:53,964
understand if you divide out,

4137
02:20:56,168 --> 02:20:57,169
you give you relative. 5 or 10

4138
02:20:57,169 --> 02:20:59,500
acres in. You have to put a

4139
02:20:59,500 --> 02:21:00,172
road into it. You can go

4140
02:21:00,172 --> 02:21:01,340
around the wetlands and can

4141
02:21:01,340 --> 02:21:02,740
you can make sure that thanks

4142
02:21:02,740 --> 02:21:05,674
to comply. But the other one

4143
02:21:07,279 --> 02:21:08,180
we have de minimis just

4144
02:21:08,180 --> 02:21:09,982
regular diminished development

4145
02:21:09,982 --> 02:21:12,284
and so situation where day

4146
02:21:12,284 --> 02:21:15,284
with a landowner came before

4147
02:21:15,288 --> 02:21:18,288
they planning board and ask

4148
02:21:19,492 --> 02:21:21,794
for zoning change especially

4149
02:21:21,794 --> 02:21:22,594
exception. And it was denied

4150
02:21:22,594 --> 02:21:25,594
and the neighbors had a

4151
02:21:26,132 --> 02:21:28,567
problem with the drainage. And

4152
02:21:28,567 --> 02:21:29,168
then I was told, well, can go

4153
02:21:29,168 --> 02:21:31,838
do it to men of a split

4154
02:21:31,838 --> 02:21:32,672
country lots and do nothing.

4155
02:21:32,672 --> 02:21:34,874
And they would, you know,

4156
02:21:34,874 --> 02:21:35,575
they'll never be in a drainage

4157
02:21:35,575 --> 02:21:36,309
consideration of whatever. I

4158
02:21:36,309 --> 02:21:37,900
think it's time that we talk

4159
02:21:37,900 --> 02:21:39,946
about this and make sure that

4160
02:21:39,946 --> 02:21:43,820
would. It says it's a cheap

4161
02:21:43,820 --> 02:21:45,500
way of doing a flat. Is what

4162
02:21:45,500 --> 02:21:45,818
it is. You know, you can do it

4163
02:21:45,818 --> 02:21:46,486
or you can do is free and

4164
02:21:46,486 --> 02:21:48,621
never and tree spent on and

4165
02:21:48,621 --> 02:21:50,723
never touch it. And I think

4166
02:21:50,723 --> 02:21:53,693
that we need to look out for

4167
02:21:53,693 --> 02:21:54,327
the neighbors. You know, if

4168
02:21:54,327 --> 02:21:56,290
piece of property between

4169
02:21:56,290 --> 02:21:57,698
commissioners here and I'm in

4170
02:21:57,698 --> 02:21:58,531
the middle you decide to block

4171
02:21:58,531 --> 02:22:01,531
my range. Nothing can happen

4172
02:22:02,268 --> 02:22:03,402
with that. If we don't have an

4173
02:22:03,402 --> 02:22:04,437
agreement going in. So that's

4174
02:22:04,437 --> 02:22:05,604
what I'm asking for is if we

4175
02:22:05,604 --> 02:22:06,606
get a chance to bring that

4176
02:22:06,606 --> 02:22:11,406
back in and work on added at a

4177
02:22:11,478 --> 02:22:14,213
later time, maybe pre she ate

4178
02:22:14,213 --> 02:22:17,213
MR. Royce, I'm good. Okay.

4179
02:22:21,120 --> 02:22:21,854
Change in air.

4180
02:22:21,854 --> 02:22:22,588
>> Chair board very briefly,

4181
02:22:22,588 --> 02:22:26,788
all start, as I always do with

4182
02:22:26,860 --> 02:22:27,660
the ot roadwatch. The only

4183
02:22:27,660 --> 02:22:30,660
things really going on Paul

4184
02:22:30,830 --> 02:22:32,830
hardening. Over headline

4185
02:22:34,767 --> 02:22:35,568
hardening fpnl hardening along

4186
02:22:35,568 --> 02:22:38,568
the corridors of U.S.. 98

4187
02:22:39,439 --> 02:22:41,274
State Road 74. 41 just very

4188
02:22:41,274 --> 02:22:42,108
briefly, an update of what's

4189
02:22:42,108 --> 02:22:44,508
happening from the county

4190
02:22:48,748 --> 02:22:50,350
perspective. On Berman Road

4191
02:22:50,350 --> 02:22:52,919
Project. We had a very good

4192
02:22:52,919 --> 02:22:56,519
meeting in the field with dp

4193
02:22:57,724 --> 02:22:59,326
We're updating our wetland

4194
02:22:59,326 --> 02:22:59,959
jurisdictions and getting our

4195
02:22:59,959 --> 02:23:01,694
mitigation plans prep for

4196
02:23:01,694 --> 02:23:05,894
Berman to get that back in and

4197
02:23:05,933 --> 02:23:07,401
then we'll roll right into the

4198
02:23:07,401 --> 02:23:08,302
outfalls with fpnl and

4199
02:23:08,302 --> 02:23:11,902
everything on spot in the sun

4200
02:23:13,439 --> 02:23:16,439
and 4 seasons. The other quick

4201
02:23:17,644 --> 02:23:19,579
update on Lofton Road is the

4202
02:23:19,579 --> 02:23:20,314
contractors now installed on

4203
02:23:20,314 --> 02:23:20,981
the pipe that need to be done.

4204
02:23:20,981 --> 02:23:23,981
He is working on providing

4205
02:23:24,510 --> 02:23:25,284
those areas on the curbs. He

4206
02:23:25,284 --> 02:23:26,786
is also stepped up and

4207
02:23:26,786 --> 02:23:27,987
indicating that he would help

4208
02:23:27,987 --> 02:23:30,387
with patching some potholes

4209
02:23:30,923 --> 02:23:32,692
that are in the project in the

4210
02:23:32,692 --> 02:23:33,393
southern end that we get

4211
02:23:33,393 --> 02:23:35,793
complaints on looking forward

4212
02:23:36,262 --> 02:23:36,963
to seeing that happen shortly.

4213
02:23:36,963 --> 02:23:39,963
Here to answer any questions

4214
02:23:40,633 --> 02:23:42,633
you MAY have.

4215
02:23:42,736 --> 02:23:43,970
>> What your thoughts on

4216
02:23:43,970 --> 02:23:45,572
repairs on regime. And I've

4217
02:23:45,572 --> 02:23:47,239
had a chance to be there yet.

4218
02:23:47,239 --> 02:23:47,975
So we yet know. Just I spoke.

4219
02:23:47,975 --> 02:23:50,844
I think what we need to do and

4220
02:23:50,844 --> 02:23:52,779
I think that we're ordering it

4221
02:23:52,779 --> 02:23:53,480
right now. It's just sent some

4222
02:23:53,480 --> 02:23:56,616
temporary flow of the to fill

4223
02:23:56,616 --> 02:23:58,510
in the void says best we can.

4224
02:23:58,510 --> 02:23:58,785
>> That, as you know, Lamb

4225
02:23:58,785 --> 02:23:59,385
island to bridge is one of the

4226
02:23:59,385 --> 02:24:01,421
5 that we have. The 2.5

4227
02:24:01,421 --> 02:24:03,421
million dollar Grant, 2

4228
02:24:05,492 --> 02:24:07,492
improve.

4229
02:24:08,695 --> 02:24:09,529
>> Slowly making our way

4230
02:24:09,529 --> 02:24:10,496
through the grant

4231
02:24:10,496 --> 02:24:12,650
requirements. They are also

4232
02:24:12,650 --> 02:24:12,499
requiring some environmental

4233
02:24:12,499 --> 02:24:14,168
stuff before.

4234
02:24:14,168 --> 02:24:15,736
>> They released us to go to

4235
02:24:15,736 --> 02:24:16,436
bed. We're still hoping to be

4236
02:24:16,436 --> 02:24:20,774
able to go to bed in the next

4237
02:24:20,774 --> 02:24:22,976
couple of months on that we

4238
02:24:22,976 --> 02:24:24,544
will do a repair on it. We'll

4239
02:24:24,544 --> 02:24:25,212
do an inspection after the

4240
02:24:25,212 --> 02:24:28,212
repair and we'll see where

4241
02:24:28,348 --> 02:24:29,830
that goes.

4242
02:24:29,830 --> 02:24:31,518
>> I people sent me a photo of

4243
02:24:31,518 --> 02:24:32,285
it. If you need it.

4244
02:24:32,285 --> 02:24:35,885
>> Yeah, no, I was sent photos

4245
02:24:36,190 --> 02:24:36,890
yesterday and I think a quick

4246
02:24:36,890 --> 02:24:38,250
full the Phyllis probably the

4247
02:24:38,250 --> 02:24:41,250
best answer. For the time

4248
02:24:43,430 --> 02:24:44,970
being.

4249
02:24:44,970 --> 02:24:44,797
>> Just to kind of lab or a

4250
02:24:44,797 --> 02:24:45,499
little more on that. We we've

4251
02:24:45,499 --> 02:24:47,500
already got that of a current

4252
02:24:47,500 --> 02:24:50,537
in place today and we have

4253
02:24:50,537 --> 02:24:52,205
fulfill coming tomorrow. We

4254
02:24:52,205 --> 02:24:52,939
tried to get it today. We just

4255
02:24:52,939 --> 02:24:55,242
could not get could not get

4256
02:24:55,242 --> 02:24:55,942
material on site today, but

4257
02:24:55,942 --> 02:24:58,942
they do have truck scheduled

4258
02:24:59,313 --> 02:25:00,280
for us for tomorrow unless

4259
02:25:00,280 --> 02:25:02,349
something changes. We should

4260
02:25:02,349 --> 02:25:03,983
start backfilling outflow feel

4261
02:25:03,983 --> 02:25:05,686
tomorrow just for a temporary

4262
02:25:05,686 --> 02:25:06,553
repair until we can get the

4263
02:25:06,553 --> 02:25:10,153
full grant money in place to

4264
02:25:10,623 --> 02:25:12,626
do that years. We are working.

4265
02:25:12,626 --> 02:25:15,395
And what I'll probably do is

4266
02:25:15,395 --> 02:25:15,762
at the flow of Bill fulfill is

4267
02:25:15,762 --> 02:25:16,396
in place.

4268
02:25:16,396 --> 02:25:17,330
>> Is have my structural

4269
02:25:17,330 --> 02:25:20,301
consultant go back out and

4270
02:25:20,301 --> 02:25:22,336
look at it again. But I want

4271
02:25:22,336 --> 02:25:23,938
to we wanted it safe ride up

4272
02:25:23,938 --> 02:25:24,938
front and then we'll take a

4273
02:25:24,938 --> 02:25:26,573
look at any additional things

4274
02:25:26,573 --> 02:25:28,800
will need be done over and

4275
02:25:28,800 --> 02:25:31,800
above what's in the plans

4276
02:25:32,790 --> 02:25:33,146
right now for repair that?

4277
02:25:33,146 --> 02:25:34,114
>> It bridges always taken

4278
02:25:34,114 --> 02:25:34,781
beating because of the

4279
02:25:34,781 --> 02:25:37,781
approaches. Do not match up

4280
02:25:38,118 --> 02:25:39,886
and jump opponent and

4281
02:25:39,886 --> 02:25:40,687
>> that's that's going to be

4282
02:25:40,687 --> 02:25:43,687
repaired with with the update

4283
02:25:43,790 --> 02:25:47,390
to the plants. But we will

4284
02:25:47,994 --> 02:25:48,662
have that done shortly.

4285
02:25:48,662 --> 02:25:50,662
>> Any questions, comments

4286
02:25:51,965 --> 02:25:54,201
think? Thank you, sir. MR.

4287
02:25:54,201 --> 02:25:56,601
Attorney. Nothing at this

4288
02:25:59,720 --> 02:26:02,720
time. MISTER Chair. Get a

4289
02:26:02,275 --> 02:26:04,430
discount very shortly.

4290
02:26:04,430 --> 02:26:05,612
>> Want to piggyback on what

4291
02:26:05,612 --> 02:26:06,280
MISTER Nelson said. It's to

4292
02:26:06,280 --> 02:26:08,281
keep that employee in your

4293
02:26:08,281 --> 02:26:10,681
thoughts and prayers. Very

4294
02:26:10,984 --> 02:26:11,918
vital member of this team. So

4295
02:26:11,918 --> 02:26:14,918
hoping for a speedy recovery.

4296
02:26:16,560 --> 02:26:19,560
There clarification I have on

4297
02:26:19,159 --> 02:26:20,427
my calendar. The 2 AUGUST

4298
02:26:20,427 --> 02:26:23,563
meeting dates as 13th with the

4299
02:26:23,563 --> 02:26:24,565
20th being a if we need this.

4300
02:26:24,565 --> 02:26:26,800
But we now clearly need it

4301
02:26:26,800 --> 02:26:28,401
because we've scheduled all

4302
02:26:28,401 --> 02:26:31,105
those for 9 o'clock on that

4303
02:26:31,105 --> 02:26:34,542
20th. So just anybody else had

4304
02:26:34,542 --> 02:26:35,543
that as as needed didn't hear

4305
02:26:35,543 --> 02:26:36,243
earlier. We will have both

4306
02:26:36,243 --> 02:26:37,578
those meetings in AUGUST. We

4307
02:26:37,578 --> 02:26:41,178
don't need it. Why just said

4308
02:26:43,551 --> 02:26:44,318
because? We have to. Help me

4309
02:26:44,318 --> 02:26:47,918
with my term we have the

4310
02:26:48,550 --> 02:26:49,156
public hearings or

4311
02:26:49,156 --> 02:26:51,258
>> What? Lisa just premiered

4312
02:26:51,258 --> 02:26:53,658
fire ems, solid waste

4313
02:26:53,860 --> 02:26:54,561
assessments as well as 5

4314
02:26:54,561 --> 02:26:55,229
o'clock note 9, Oh, okay.

4315
02:26:55,229 --> 02:26:57,998
Going to 9 o'clock. Yes. So

4316
02:26:57,998 --> 02:26:59,734
that meeting is now. Doesn't

4317
02:26:59,734 --> 02:27:02,603
the 13th and 20th Back weeks.

4318
02:27:02,603 --> 02:27:03,303
Okay.

4319
02:27:03,303 --> 02:27:05,703
>> Because there are other 1,

4320
02:27:12,313 --> 02:27:13,280
2, 4, Later on and SEPTEMBER.

4321
02:27:13,280 --> 02:27:15,315
The director is going 10, to

4322
02:27:15,315 --> 02:27:16,350
20 well that the there was a

4323
02:27:16,350 --> 02:27:19,350
time we discussed only haven't

4324
02:27:20,120 --> 02:27:20,821
won in AUGUST. And that was

4325
02:27:20,821 --> 02:27:21,855
the 13 of the 20 that was put

4326
02:27:21,855 --> 02:27:22,589
on our calendar in case in

4327
02:27:22,589 --> 02:27:23,289
case has reared its head. You

4328
02:27:23,289 --> 02:27:26,627
don't keep Labor Day like it

4329
02:27:26,627 --> 02:27:27,460
was.

4330
02:27:27,460 --> 02:27:28,161
>> Providing the calendar

4331
02:27:28,161 --> 02:27:31,161
change directly. Get 13th to

4332
02:27:33,934 --> 02:27:34,634
the 20th, right? Thank you for

4333
02:27:34,634 --> 02:27:35,268
bringing that anything else?

4334
02:27:35,268 --> 02:27:38,268
No. Sure that MISTER Good

4335
02:27:38,638 --> 02:27:40,638
Bread.

4336
02:27:42,243 --> 02:27:42,943
>> First of all, wish.

4337
02:27:42,943 --> 02:27:44,943
Commissioner DeCarlo belated

4338
02:27:45,913 --> 02:27:48,913
happy birthday. Few days ago

4339
02:27:50,918 --> 02:27:51,619
last week. Again, prayers for

4340
02:27:51,619 --> 02:27:55,219
you know, our team member in

4341
02:27:57,391 --> 02:27:58,580
the hospital. Thank you for

4342
02:27:58,580 --> 02:28:01,658
put the page numbers on the

4343
02:28:06,233 --> 02:28:07,534
agenda. 10 years of doing that

4344
02:28:07,534 --> 02:28:08,202
every morning. That sort of

4345
02:28:08,202 --> 02:28:09,237
make a Thank you very much.

4346
02:28:09,237 --> 02:28:12,837
Whoever did that in charge of

4347
02:28:16,430 --> 02:28:16,677
that. Again, I want to to

4348
02:28:16,677 --> 02:28:18,677
mimic Commissioner, Asia

4349
02:28:19,280 --> 02:28:19,980
least. Thank you to Jared and

4350
02:28:19,980 --> 02:28:21,980
Jessica. Further educational

4351
02:28:24,118 --> 02:28:24,818
help. Outreach is that they're

4352
02:28:24,818 --> 02:28:26,754
doing for the people. So they

4353
02:28:26,754 --> 02:28:29,154
understand what? Your tax

4354
02:28:33,761 --> 02:28:34,495
dollars pay for. I don't know

4355
02:28:34,495 --> 02:28:35,195
the exact number of this book.

4356
02:28:35,195 --> 02:28:38,795
There was a speaker. A listen

4357
02:28:40,568 --> 02:28:41,635
to last month who said

4358
02:28:41,635 --> 02:28:44,871
homeowners get a dollar is a

4359
02:28:44,871 --> 02:28:45,606
dollar. And $0.53 worth of

4360
02:28:45,606 --> 02:28:48,606
services for every dollar they

4361
02:28:51,279 --> 02:28:52,460
pay in taxes. So it's maybe

4362
02:28:52,460 --> 02:28:55,460
not the most efficient, but

4363
02:28:55,820 --> 02:28:58,682
it's the best we have. My

4364
02:29:02,557 --> 02:29:03,291
opinion. MR. Nelson sent you

4365
02:29:03,291 --> 02:29:06,394
some pictures that was sent to

4366
02:29:06,394 --> 02:29:07,128
me of the of the docket know

4367
02:29:07,128 --> 02:29:10,330
been slew of the road rails. I

4368
02:29:10,330 --> 02:29:11,765
didn't know if you'd chance to

4369
02:29:11,765 --> 02:29:12,499
inspect that. Yes, sir, it's

4370
02:29:12,499 --> 02:29:14,334
already inspected. And I think

4371
02:29:14,334 --> 02:29:15,969
the materials already.

4372
02:29:15,969 --> 02:29:17,505
>> On site or been on. We

4373
02:29:17,505 --> 02:29:18,406
already have the material on

4374
02:29:18,406 --> 02:29:21,750
hand and we'll be working on

4375
02:29:21,750 --> 02:29:21,875
trying to get that for fun

4376
02:29:21,875 --> 02:29:24,875
this week. Thank you very

4377
02:29:27,648 --> 02:29:30,648
much, sir. And commissioner to

4378
02:29:31,352 --> 02:29:32,190
Carla.

4379
02:29:32,190 --> 02:29:32,653
>> I don't have much to say

4380
02:29:32,653 --> 02:29:33,587
good to be back at a good

4381
02:29:33,587 --> 02:29:37,787
break. And the it's good to be

4382
02:29:38,492 --> 02:29:40,428
home. 7 days is Florida's

4383
02:29:40,428 --> 02:29:41,950
would have been perfect. But

4384
02:29:41,950 --> 02:29:44,695
it's good to be home. Thank

4385
02:29:48,135 --> 02:29:48,970
you. Commissioner Burrows. All

4386
02:29:48,970 --> 02:29:50,970
right. So

4387
02:29:51,872 --> 02:29:52,573
>> talked to knew the

4388
02:29:52,573 --> 02:29:53,273
executive director yesterday

4389
02:29:53,273 --> 02:29:55,643
and for warning that going to

4390
02:29:55,643 --> 02:29:59,243
talk about today. But he will

4391
02:29:59,481 --> 02:30:03,810
be dry needs to be. Repaved.

4392
02:30:04,318 --> 02:30:06,187
So. This is gets worse or is

4393
02:30:06,187 --> 02:30:06,854
every day and I thought

4394
02:30:06,854 --> 02:30:09,254
remember correctly, we did

4395
02:30:10,358 --> 02:30:11,124
have the commitment that that

4396
02:30:11,124 --> 02:30:11,759
was going to be done at some

4397
02:30:11,759 --> 02:30:14,759
given time in the next 50

4398
02:30:15,597 --> 02:30:16,331
years. So I'd like to see get

4399
02:30:16,331 --> 02:30:18,265
done with that earlier. And so

4400
02:30:18,265 --> 02:30:21,865
i told one when I started

4401
02:30:22,380 --> 02:30:22,736
talking about it today, at

4402
02:30:22,736 --> 02:30:23,904
least up knew that what I was

4403
02:30:23,904 --> 02:30:26,808
going to say so and didn't

4404
02:30:26,808 --> 02:30:29,310
blindsided. So if you can get

4405
02:30:29,310 --> 02:30:29,977
the get those folks on board.

4406
02:30:29,977 --> 02:30:32,813
Here is Justin are Jessica.

4407
02:30:32,813 --> 02:30:33,448
Whoever wants to take the

4408
02:30:33,448 --> 02:30:34,148
action item and find out

4409
02:30:34,148 --> 02:30:35,216
exactly when they're going to

4410
02:30:35,216 --> 02:30:36,784
do it. And and to see if they

4411
02:30:36,784 --> 02:30:39,219
can get it done. Fairly

4412
02:30:39,219 --> 02:30:39,920
rapidly.

4413
02:30:39,920 --> 02:30:42,320
>> Yes, just enjoyed working

4414
02:30:43,323 --> 02:30:44,692
on that. One of you. Yes, sir.

4415
02:30:44,692 --> 02:30:47,695
We've been working on that and

4416
02:30:47,695 --> 02:30:49,163
our concern is until their

4417
02:30:49,163 --> 02:30:49,864
contractors completed the

4418
02:30:49,864 --> 02:30:52,660
service, then we will discuss

4419
02:30:52,660 --> 02:30:54,302
with them about where they

4420
02:30:54,302 --> 02:30:56,204
keep doing patchwork and other

4421
02:30:56,204 --> 02:30:57,271
things. But you're exactly

4422
02:30:57,271 --> 02:30:57,938
right, myself. The engineer,

4423
02:30:57,938 --> 02:31:00,938
MR. Brown had been working

4424
02:31:01,608 --> 02:31:02,310
with them. Pretty

4425
02:31:02,310 --> 02:31:03,544
wholeheartedly. And it's it's

4426
02:31:03,544 --> 02:31:04,245
not just eagle bay it. There's

4427
02:31:04,245 --> 02:31:07,245
there's some other roads that

4428
02:31:07,582 --> 02:31:09,384
meant we feel. And and I feel

4429
02:31:09,384 --> 02:31:10,850
that some of them a few of the

4430
02:31:10,850 --> 02:31:10,752
roads, the county, we will

4431
02:31:10,752 --> 02:31:13,554
bringing that back to the

4432
02:31:13,554 --> 02:31:14,956
board for cost share on some

4433
02:31:14,956 --> 02:31:15,657
of it because it is some of

4434
02:31:15,657 --> 02:31:16,590
the road for a little bit

4435
02:31:16,590 --> 02:31:17,191
older. But eagle bay we've we

4436
02:31:17,191 --> 02:31:18,425
know there's got to be

4437
02:31:18,425 --> 02:31:19,360
something done. So we will

4438
02:31:19,360 --> 02:31:21,760
keep negotiating with them.

4439
02:31:22,663 --> 02:31:26,000
But their contract or needs to

4440
02:31:26,000 --> 02:31:27,335
finish an be compliant. And

4441
02:31:27,335 --> 02:31:29,237
then what are really not a

4442
02:31:29,237 --> 02:31:30,504
sure. Yeah. That projects as

4443
02:31:30,504 --> 02:31:33,504
of right now. It's not

4444
02:31:34,508 --> 02:31:35,743
completed. So there's still

4445
02:31:35,743 --> 02:31:37,111
things on the punch list and

4446
02:31:37,111 --> 02:31:38,213
for waiting for them to get

4447
02:31:38,213 --> 02:31:40,282
those done. And we have some

4448
02:31:40,282 --> 02:31:42,682
concerns with still some

4449
02:31:43,818 --> 02:31:44,452
sediment settling that's

4450
02:31:44,452 --> 02:31:46,452
happening underneath the

4451
02:31:47,221 --> 02:31:48,355
repaired areas and we don't

4452
02:31:48,355 --> 02:31:49,190
feel it's in the county's best

4453
02:31:49,190 --> 02:31:51,226
interest right now until all

4454
02:31:51,226 --> 02:31:53,626
the issues are corrected

4455
02:31:54,610 --> 02:31:55,730
before we move forward. I

4456
02:31:55,730 --> 02:31:58,650
don't know if the engineer to

4457
02:31:58,650 --> 02:32:00,701
now since the last time, Santa

4458
02:32:00,701 --> 02:32:01,435
to be all over there. I know

4459
02:32:01,435 --> 02:32:02,103
you haven't been there yet. So

4460
02:32:02,103 --> 02:32:03,538
we've been there for We've

4461
02:32:03,538 --> 02:32:04,205
been there multiple times. And

4462
02:32:04,205 --> 02:32:06,674
so his steps made multiple

4463
02:32:06,674 --> 02:32:07,642
trips also MR. Brown, so but

4464
02:32:07,642 --> 02:32:09,770
we will be been negotiating

4465
02:32:09,770 --> 02:32:12,770
out some sort of pavement.

4466
02:32:13,381 --> 02:32:15,484
Issue to be corrected. There's

4467
02:32:15,484 --> 02:32:16,186
a repayment know I knew I got

4468
02:32:16,186 --> 02:32:19,186
one completely out dying. So

4469
02:32:20,389 --> 02:32:22,789
figured bring that up.

4470
02:32:23,425 --> 02:32:25,825
>> Just for board's position,

4471
02:32:27,280 --> 02:32:27,729
position is worked on and a

4472
02:32:27,729 --> 02:32:30,729
rule area of opportunity with

4473
02:32:31,933 --> 02:32:34,680
which is a South Central Rio,

4474
02:32:34,680 --> 02:32:34,802
which is 40 economic in the

4475
02:32:34,802 --> 02:32:36,802
region, opportunity 6 counties

4476
02:32:37,606 --> 02:32:39,606
in 4 cities, rail

4477
02:32:41,943 --> 02:32:43,178
authorization had run out. And

4478
02:32:43,178 --> 02:32:45,980
so we have to redo it every 5

4479
02:32:45,980 --> 02:32:47,982
to make a presentation to the

4480
02:32:47,982 --> 02:32:49,384
ready organization. And the

4481
02:32:49,384 --> 02:32:51,784
governor apparently is good

4482
02:32:52,120 --> 02:32:54,222
sign proved to just this week.

4483
02:32:54,222 --> 02:32:55,690
So that means we got 5 more

4484
02:32:55,690 --> 02:32:56,424
years so before to do another

4485
02:32:56,424 --> 02:32:57,158
presentation. So somebody else

4486
02:32:57,158 --> 02:33:01,358
will be doing it a given time.

4487
02:33:02,763 --> 02:33:06,963
I think. When I was a the

4488
02:33:08,102 --> 02:33:08,769
National Association Board of

4489
02:33:08,769 --> 02:33:11,105
directors meeting I was so

4490
02:33:11,105 --> 02:33:13,505
working Comcast inmate. Wanted

4491
02:33:15,643 --> 02:33:17,912
to do video. Okay. That last

4492
02:33:17,912 --> 02:33:18,813
year on broadband originally

4493
02:33:18,813 --> 02:33:21,150
they asked me just was the 2

4494
02:33:21,150 --> 02:33:24,150
top things in your community.

4495
02:33:24,721 --> 02:33:25,388
That keeps you awake? Well, to

4496
02:33:25,388 --> 02:33:28,388
talk things with this data

4497
02:33:28,624 --> 02:33:29,358
centers and property tax. So

4498
02:33:29,358 --> 02:33:30,580
originally as so we'll just do

4499
02:33:30,580 --> 02:33:32,260
one on data centers and talk

4500
02:33:32,260 --> 02:33:33,270
about the pros and cons the

4501
02:33:33,270 --> 02:33:35,270
difference between Hyperscale

4502
02:33:35,730 --> 02:33:37,432
in the record data center. So

4503
02:33:37,432 --> 02:33:38,399
got a call last week ago,

4504
02:33:38,399 --> 02:33:41,399
Monday night, felt that I

4505
02:33:41,669 --> 02:33:42,403
needed to different the topic.

4506
02:33:42,403 --> 02:33:46,474
So what I did is I did a video

4507
02:33:46,474 --> 02:33:47,910
on property tax reform. And

4508
02:33:47,910 --> 02:33:48,578
that will be distributed

4509
02:33:48,578 --> 02:33:50,978
nationwide probably in the

4510
02:33:52,782 --> 02:33:53,482
next couple weeks. So can you

4511
02:33:53,482 --> 02:33:54,216
give you a call are give you

4512
02:33:54,216 --> 02:33:57,816
to do it. And hopefully you'll

4513
02:34:00,188 --> 02:34:00,922
be able to see it. As speaker

4514
02:34:00,922 --> 02:34:04,522
data during the course of this

4515
02:34:05,360 --> 02:34:08,129
conference. We had number of

4516
02:34:08,129 --> 02:34:10,529
opportunities to sit through

4517
02:34:12,670 --> 02:34:14,135
sessions for data centers

4518
02:34:14,135 --> 02:34:14,836
talking about what is what's

4519
02:34:14,836 --> 02:34:15,703
necessary, what the

4520
02:34:15,703 --> 02:34:16,371
differences between Hyperscale

4521
02:34:16,371 --> 02:34:18,371
regular citizens eccentric

4522
02:34:19,808 --> 02:34:20,842
century center. But one of the

4523
02:34:20,842 --> 02:34:22,777
things that kept coming out in

4524
02:34:22,777 --> 02:34:26,377
it and the they preach In

4525
02:34:26,948 --> 02:34:28,850
totality. Is you have to

4526
02:34:28,850 --> 02:34:30,419
engage with the community

4527
02:34:30,419 --> 02:34:31,419
initially. Community

4528
02:34:31,419 --> 02:34:33,819
engagement is is especially

4529
02:34:35,658 --> 02:34:37,126
important. Depending on where

4530
02:34:37,126 --> 02:34:37,693
you're at and how you're

4531
02:34:37,693 --> 02:34:39,261
doing. It does make a

4532
02:34:39,261 --> 02:34:41,261
difference. It's really

4533
02:34:41,363 --> 02:34:42,297
important. And I brought back

4534
02:34:42,297 --> 02:34:43,665
some information. I still have

4535
02:34:43,665 --> 02:34:44,299
my briefcase. Was going to

4536
02:34:44,299 --> 02:34:46,334
distribute it out to the

4537
02:34:46,334 --> 02:34:47,970
border. Should take a look at

4538
02:34:47,970 --> 02:34:48,670
it some from some of the

4539
02:34:48,670 --> 02:34:50,605
information. We got of these

4540
02:34:50,605 --> 02:34:53,500
policy committees. And the

4541
02:34:54,760 --> 02:34:57,676
last thing is for Justin. Just

4542
02:34:59,948 --> 02:35:01,917
refresh my memory. On the

4543
02:35:01,917 --> 02:35:03,117
delighted sign the lighted

4544
02:35:03,117 --> 02:35:03,786
sign goes in the Oakleaf

4545
02:35:03,786 --> 02:35:04,486
Estates. I know you told me

4546
02:35:04,486 --> 02:35:07,589
one time about it. But other

4547
02:35:07,589 --> 02:35:09,291
story member, I'm sorry. It's

4548
02:35:09,291 --> 02:35:12,291
already it so work orders

4549
02:35:13,261 --> 02:35:15,261
already been submitted

4550
02:35:16,998 --> 02:35:17,833
>> you know, yes, sir, sorry

4551
02:35:17,833 --> 02:35:20,833
from Fpnl and we're just

4552
02:35:21,570 --> 02:35:22,805
waiting on that to go forward.

4553
02:35:22,805 --> 02:35:23,638
We already pay for that

4554
02:35:23,638 --> 02:35:24,839
existing street light there.

4555
02:35:24,839 --> 02:35:26,641
That's not part of their

4556
02:35:26,641 --> 02:35:28,510
assessment. It only increase

4557
02:35:28,510 --> 02:35:31,613
that street light bill by like

4558
02:35:31,613 --> 02:35:32,247
$2 and $0.50. So I did not

4559
02:35:32,247 --> 02:35:33,582
think it was worth going

4560
02:35:33,582 --> 02:35:34,849
through the process to add

4561
02:35:34,849 --> 02:35:36,184
that to there's we just added

4562
02:35:36,184 --> 02:35:38,120
it to that one that's funded

4563
02:35:38,120 --> 02:35:39,421
through that Safer streets

4564
02:35:39,421 --> 02:35:40,121
Fund helps fund that street

4565
02:35:40,121 --> 02:35:42,458
light right there because it

4566
02:35:42,458 --> 02:35:44,226
is a school bus stop site and

4567
02:35:44,226 --> 02:35:46,127
the county picked up the small

4568
02:35:46,127 --> 02:35:46,795
amount of improvement costs

4569
02:35:46,795 --> 02:35:48,797
that we needed to do to get

4570
02:35:48,797 --> 02:35:50,999
the new light there. So it is

4571
02:35:50,999 --> 02:35:52,100
in process and we're really

4572
02:35:52,100 --> 02:35:55,360
got to all the permitting and

4573
02:35:55,360 --> 02:35:55,837
everything you know, get that

4574
02:35:55,837 --> 02:35:56,506
moving forward. So so that

4575
02:35:56,506 --> 02:35:59,506
going to be another 50 year

4576
02:36:02,778 --> 02:36:04,179
opportunity.

4577
02:36:04,179 --> 02:36:06,314
>> we'll there 2 years. I

4578
02:36:06,314 --> 02:36:07,150
don't know. We got 50 years I

4579
02:36:07,150 --> 02:36:10,785
know I do. I'm just trying to

4580
02:36:10,785 --> 02:36:11,920
figure Sometimes it seems to

4581
02:36:11,920 --> 02:36:14,690
take an enormous amount of

4582
02:36:14,690 --> 02:36:15,290
time for simple things. So

4583
02:36:15,290 --> 02:36:18,260
turns out ask him that

4584
02:36:18,260 --> 02:36:19,270
question. And this just to

4585
02:36:19,270 --> 02:36:22,627
really have got this one last

4586
02:36:26,568 --> 02:36:29,471
thing Met with Martin County.

4587
02:36:29,471 --> 02:36:33,710
You give report to the board

4588
02:36:33,750 --> 02:36:33,409
and so we did meet with the

4589
02:36:33,409 --> 02:36:35,409
Martin.

4590
02:36:36,244 --> 02:36:38,244
>> County administrator myself

4591
02:36:38,480 --> 02:36:39,214
just announce in our county

4592
02:36:39,214 --> 02:36:42,214
engineer and some of their

4593
02:36:44,820 --> 02:36:48,420
staff members and the we are

4594
02:36:48,590 --> 02:36:49,624
on the same page in terms of

4595
02:36:49,624 --> 02:36:51,527
it being a priority for the

4596
02:36:51,527 --> 02:36:52,662
widening and the

4597
02:36:52,662 --> 02:36:53,629
recommendation is to and what

4598
02:36:53,629 --> 02:36:57,399
we've done is reach out to our

4599
02:36:57,399 --> 02:36:58,670
secretaries with fdot.

4600
02:36:58,670 --> 02:37:01,667
>> To let them know. But to

4601
02:37:01,871 --> 02:37:04,871
wait until the sees session

4602
02:37:06,508 --> 02:37:07,943
yet the session is done for.

4603
02:37:07,943 --> 02:37:08,611
The new secretary's that are

4604
02:37:08,611 --> 02:37:10,212
coming into then speak with

4605
02:37:10,212 --> 02:37:10,880
them. So.

4606
02:37:10,880 --> 02:37:13,982
>> This is a white and the

4607
02:37:13,982 --> 02:37:16,982
7.10. Because we have it on

4608
02:37:17,119 --> 02:37:20,719
our project list and I don't

4609
02:37:21,156 --> 02:37:21,957
know that their district over

4610
02:37:21,957 --> 02:37:22,624
hasn't gone. There's no other

4611
02:37:22,624 --> 02:37:26,224
soon, they said they So we

4612
02:37:26,261 --> 02:37:27,396
just one of the do the fact of

4613
02:37:27,396 --> 02:37:28,130
the fact that there's been so

4614
02:37:28,130 --> 02:37:30,499
many deaths on that particular

4615
02:37:30,499 --> 02:37:31,633
road, just as much as we.

4616
02:37:31,633 --> 02:37:32,301
They've been working on for

4617
02:37:32,301 --> 02:37:35,104
the 70 west piece of and we

4618
02:37:35,104 --> 02:37:38,730
have that in being through the

4619
02:37:38,730 --> 02:37:40,900
pd and e process. Now. We just

4620
02:37:40,900 --> 02:37:40,676
need to get everybody on the

4621
02:37:40,676 --> 02:37:43,676
same page to start putting

4622
02:37:47,830 --> 02:37:47,783
money to go and get this done.

4623
02:37:47,783 --> 02:37:50,619
I had to interview yesterday

4624
02:37:50,619 --> 02:37:51,420
with the Florida 1000 and

4625
02:37:51,420 --> 02:37:54,223
those based on the needs of

4626
02:37:54,223 --> 02:37:54,957
transportation rule counties.

4627
02:37:54,957 --> 02:37:57,827
And this was one of the issues

4628
02:37:57,827 --> 02:37:58,460
we talked about It we need

4629
02:37:58,460 --> 02:38:00,630
more money is coming into

4630
02:38:00,630 --> 02:38:01,364
these rural counties because

4631
02:38:01,364 --> 02:38:04,964
it's in the Swiss Swiss cheese

4632
02:38:05,935 --> 02:38:07,536
corridor. Not only just for

4633
02:38:07,536 --> 02:38:08,237
hurricane evacuation for any

4634
02:38:08,237 --> 02:38:08,870
type of economic develop and

4635
02:38:08,870 --> 02:38:10,870
manufacture distribution

4636
02:38:10,873 --> 02:38:11,708
process that you put in. We

4637
02:38:11,708 --> 02:38:15,440
need to be able to have these

4638
02:38:15,440 --> 02:38:15,744
roads widened so that. You can

4639
02:38:15,744 --> 02:38:18,744
reduce the number of traffic

4640
02:38:20,349 --> 02:38:21,830
accidents. Because obviously

4641
02:38:21,830 --> 02:38:24,830
if dot's traffic accidents, it

4642
02:38:24,787 --> 02:38:25,454
0. And they're not meeting

4643
02:38:25,454 --> 02:38:27,854
that expectation right now

4644
02:38:28,157 --> 02:38:31,157
some of these you'll forward

4645
02:38:33,295 --> 02:38:34,630
you, MISTER CHAIRMAN. As with

4646
02:38:34,630 --> 02:38:36,131
you had a short conversation

4647
02:38:36,131 --> 02:38:37,600
with the incoming ou

4648
02:38:37,600 --> 02:38:38,234
administrator.

4649
02:38:38,234 --> 02:38:41,834
>> And he told me that he

4650
02:38:41,870 --> 02:38:43,272
takes over the 31st. And I

4651
02:38:43,272 --> 02:38:44,873
said showed me that happened.

4652
02:38:44,873 --> 02:38:45,574
If you have time, I'd like to

4653
02:38:45,574 --> 02:38:48,377
have a meeting see how we can

4654
02:38:48,377 --> 02:38:50,746
work closer together. I'm

4655
02:38:50,746 --> 02:38:51,414
hoping with the change and

4656
02:38:51,414 --> 02:38:54,414
management of red that that

4657
02:38:56,586 --> 02:38:57,553
can happen. And I'm sure,

4658
02:38:57,553 --> 02:38:59,755
Justin, you're watching for

4659
02:38:59,755 --> 02:39:00,422
the future We said somewhere

4660
02:39:00,422 --> 02:39:04,327
to be in there to make sure

4661
02:39:04,327 --> 02:39:05,270
the vote to put back. So I'm

4662
02:39:05,270 --> 02:39:06,896
hoping when you meet with the

4663
02:39:06,896 --> 02:39:07,596
new administrator went, he

4664
02:39:07,596 --> 02:39:11,796
does if and when it does take

4665
02:39:14,503 --> 02:39:15,237
over. So we can make sure

4666
02:39:15,237 --> 02:39:17,637
myself, engineer MR. Brown

4667
02:39:18,975 --> 02:39:19,709
have made multiple.

4668
02:39:19,709 --> 02:39:20,810
>> Suggestions language expand

4669
02:39:20,810 --> 02:39:23,790
or contract packages and

4670
02:39:23,790 --> 02:39:25,479
again, for our. Employee.

4671
02:39:29,485 --> 02:39:30,186
That's prayers, goes up to him

4672
02:39:30,186 --> 02:39:33,589
and we're hoping for a speedy

4673
02:39:33,589 --> 02:39:37,189
recovery and is it 70 or 75 on

4674
02:39:41,630 --> 02:39:43,199
the birthday? 70 or 75 Uber

4675
02:39:43,199 --> 02:39:46,799
said in age of 75. That the
