[14:06]

NOTE Confidence: 0.595842677
[14:08]
But even more important that Jenny's

always volunteering for tasks and
NOTE Confidence: 0.595842677

events that need done but don't
NOTE Confidence: 0.595842677
[14:32]
get much praise.
NOTE Confidence: 0.595842677
[14:34]
She loves her daughter and her friends.

[17:55]
the Florida Greenways and Trails
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[17:56]
Council as the chairman of Florida
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[17:57]
Greenways and Trails Council.
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[17:58]
What I've given her to give to you
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:00]
is the new Florida Greenways and
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:02]
Trails System plan for 2024 to 2028,
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:05]
which details all the priority
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:06]
trails for the state of Florida,
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:08]
all the priority greenways
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:09]
for the state of Florida,
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:11]
as well as the regional trails throughout
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:12]
the state of Florida and their ranking.
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:14]
As you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:15]
we have 4 regional trails now and in
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:17]
Lake County we were successful in getting
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:19]
two added during this five year plan.
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:21]
The plan runs from 2024 to 2028
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:24]
and once you're in this plan,
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:26]
it's the system plan for
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:27]
the entire state of Florida,
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:28]
then you become eligible
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:29]
for Sun Trail funding.
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:30]
So we now have 4 trails within the
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:32]
state of within Lake County that
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:34]
are eligible for that funding.
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:35]
So the coast to coast,
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:37]
which is 100% funded in program
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:39]
does not completely built,
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:40]
it's about 90% built that may remaining
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:42]
gap is in Sumter in Lake County.
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:44]
The Wekiva Trail,
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:45]
we were successful in getting that
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:48]
added this past planning period.
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:50]
So that's in there now.
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:51]
The North Lake Riverdale Hills
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:52]
Trail is also in there.
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:54]
We were successful in getting
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:55]
that added this year.
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:56]
And then the Heart of Florida loop,
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:57]
which runs around the top of Florida or
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[18:59]
top of Lake County in northern Lake County.
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[19:01]
So I just wanted to give you that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[19:02]
I've sent you links to it before digitally,
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[19:05]
but I wanted to give you the hard copy
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043
[19:07]
in case you wanted to see the hard copy.
NOTE Confidence: 0.767510963913043

NOTE Confidence: 0.833554915
[19:19]

NOTE Confidence: 0.833554915
[19:21]

NOTE Confidence: 0.833554915
[19:23]
You can go to, you can search Florida
NOTE Confidence: 0.833554915
[19:26]

NOTE Confidence: 0.833554915
[19:30]
You there's three links.
NOTE Confidence: 0.833554915
[19:31]
I had to split it in three links so
NOTE Confidence: 0.833554915
[19:33]
you can click on each link. Yes.
NOTE Confidence: 0.833554915

NOTE Confidence: 0.833554915

We have our next meeting at the end of
NOTE Confidence: 0.833554915
[19:45]
this month on the 25th in Brooksville,
NOTE Confidence: 0.833554915
[19:47]

NOTE Confidence: 0.833554915
[19:49]
So we have those available for
NOTE Confidence: 0.833554915
[19:50]
folks in Lake County as well.
NOTE Confidence: 0.833554915
[19:51]
So OK, thank you, Thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.833554915
[19:54]
I apologize,
NOTE Confidence: 0.833554915
[19:55]
I won't be here for the referendum.
NOTE Confidence: 0.833554915
[19:56]
I've got to go back to work
NOTE Confidence: 0.833554915
[19:57]
and change shirts.
NOTE Confidence: 0.833554915
[19:58]
So,
NOTE Confidence: 0.760193876666667
[20:01]
all right, moving on down to
NOTE Confidence: 0.760193876666667
[20:04]

NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[20:23]
Commissioners distinguished guests.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[20:24]
In our community there are those of
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[20:28]
us who are dealing with aloneness,
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[20:30]
loneliness, depression and anxiety.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[20:32]
Or that person is US1 year
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[20:36]
ago I was in that situation.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[20:38]
I was dealing with depression,
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[20:40]
anxiety, aloneness and loneliness
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[20:42]
because of two losses in my life.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[20:45]
What did I do? First and foremost,
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[20:48]
the first thing you can do is talk about it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[20:50]
Talk about mental health to distinguish or to
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[20:55]
eliminate the the stigma of mental health.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[20:58]
Another thing you can do is
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:00]
turn to community.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:01]
Community is the first defense
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:03]
in fighting mental health.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:05]
I did that in South Lake County
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:07]
a couple of ways.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:08]
First and foremost,
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:10]
I joined the pickleball club
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:13]
down in Claremont.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:14]
It is community based,
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:15]
it is people based and it's a chance
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:18]
to take out your stress and anxiety.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:21]
Actually, I was asked to join that club.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:23]
There's also Tai Chi of Claremont,
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:26]
Sonia Dumas.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:26]
She is in charge of that organization.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:29]
It helps it is a community based
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:32]
organization and also it allows us to
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:35]
come together and to practice Tai chi.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:38]
Another one is yoga with Jamie van der Meer,
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:41]
live life and living yoga.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:44]
Both of these Tai chi and yoga
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:48]
are free and they're they're given
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:51]
up or given by Blue of Florida,
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:54]
Florida Blue also I explored
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[21:59]
into talk therapy Doctor Ruth,
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:02]
not that Doctor Ruth,
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:03]
another one from Orlando help
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:06]
me out with that with insomnia.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:09]
I also went with breathwork.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:12]
Amanda Nichols helped with
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:15]
eliminating any issues of past issues.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:19]
These organizations, these groups,
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:21]
these things that help and mental
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:24]
health were were a great help for me.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:26]
However,
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:27]
I always found myself coming back to nature.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:29]
Nature gave me balance and it's
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:31]
good because I am a farmer.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:33]
I teach sustainability.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:34]
I teach people how to to grow,
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:36]
show them that they do have a green thumb.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:38]
Once a month I open up my farm
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:40]
to a farm tour.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:41]
It is a second Sunday of every month.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:43]
It is open for anybody and everybody,
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:46]
all ages.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:47]
This past weekend we had 16 show up,
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:50]
16 survive.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:51]
It was a little warm out there.
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:54]
Also,
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:55]
three harvest is per year,
NOTE Confidence: 0.689908635
[22:57]

NOTE Confidence: 0.74411698625
[23:01]
sweet potato harvest and also a yuca harvest.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74411698625
[23:04]
Commissioner, Chairman, thank you
NOTE Confidence: 0.74411698625
[23:05]
so much for allowing me to speak.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74411698625
[23:07]
My name is Banks Helfrich Farmer.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74411698625
[23:09]
Banks, may you all be blessed.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74411698625
[23:11]
Thank you. All right, Thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.811742181666667
[23:16]
OK, Next up, Mr. Ray Powers.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[23:25]
Morning commissioners.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[23:26]
I'm here on behalf of the Lake County
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[23:29]
Historical Society and Museum.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[23:31]
I also have my vice president with me.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[23:33]
He made sure he wants everybody
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[23:35]
know that's his job today,
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[23:36]
not the other one.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[23:39]
No questions today.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[23:40]
This week is Flag Day on Friday and
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[23:43]
normally we have a presentation over the
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[23:47]
museum that's pretty well impossible.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[23:49]
On with it how it's happening this week.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[23:52]
So one of our big supporters is Addie
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[23:54]
Owens of Touchstone Real Estate and
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[23:57]
Addie bought us a bunch of small flags
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:00]
that we wanted to bring in for you guys.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:02]
And with permission I can probably put
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:04]
them out on the table and let everybody
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:07]
that comes in the admin building
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:09]
at least get a flag for this week.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:11]
You know, it's awfully important.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:13]
It's amazing the history of Flag Day.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:15]
It used to be parades and everything.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:17]
And we just,
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:20]
it would be nice to get back to that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:21]
But next year we'll try to have another.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:23]
We'll have something over at the museum.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:27]
Mr. Baker, Kerry Baker,
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:29]
my vice president's here.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:31]
And he'd like take a few minutes
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:33]
and just tell you guys a little bit
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:35]
about how important our flag is.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:36]
And with that,
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:37]
I'll let him come up and give you guys
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:39]
a little presentation, if that's OK.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:41]
Hold on a second. Got some questions for you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:43]
OK, so, so on the flags you have,
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:45]
are they they're American flags.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:48]
Yes, Sir. That's a good start.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:52]
Yes,
NOTE Confidence: 0.80879058375
[24:52]
Sir.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[24:55]
They'll the the flag that I'm proud of.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[24:57]
OK, OK. Yes, Sir.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:00]
Thank you and I'm OK with you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:03]
First of all, thank you for the
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:06]
Historical Society for doing this.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:07]
Second of all, I'm OK for you to put
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:11]
them out on the outside for the public.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:14]
If it's OK for Jennifer,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:15]
the rest of the commissioners,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:17]
OK, And whatever is leftover,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:19]
we can do something.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:20]
I mean, we got the rest of the week,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:23]
like I had to get them out.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:24]
We have some over at the museum, too.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:25]
How many flags do you have in there?
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:27]
There's probably at least
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:30]
two or three hundred.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:31]
All right, So hopefully we can have 300
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:33]
American flags here in Lake County flying.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:36]
That would be wonderful. Yes, Sir.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:38]
Yes, Sir, It sure would be.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:39]
Yeah. Thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:40]
That I'll get Carrie for you guys.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:43]
OK.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:43]
Up next, Mr.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7874058725
[25:45]
Carrie Baker.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[25:49]
Mr. Chairman, Commissioners,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[25:50]
thanks for letting me share a few thoughts.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[25:52]
Hold on a second. Honorable Carrie Baker.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[25:56]
Thank you, Honorable. Mr.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[25:57]
Chairman. Commissioner,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:00]
just want to share a few thoughts and one is,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:03]
you know, you ever wonder why Americans
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:05]
hold the flag in such high regard,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:08]
especially compared to maybe
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:10]
folks in other nations?
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:11]
And, and I would,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:12]
I would tell you that's one of the reasons I
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:15]
believe is because the price that we paid,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:17]
you know, it's human nature when
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:19]
you pay a lot for something,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:20]
when you sacrifice for something
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:22]
that you value it more.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:24]
And conversely, when you don't pay much,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:27]
you don't sacrifice for something,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:29]
typically you don't hold
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:31]
it in as greater regard.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:34]
The American flag was purchased
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:37]
at a great price by Americans,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:39]
originally a Revolutionary War,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:41]
Soldiers stood up and they
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:43]
sacrificed property.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:45]
They sacrificed their lives.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:46]
They fought for the flag and the
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:48]
values that represented in the nation.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:50]
It became both the Constitution
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:53]
and the rights we enjoy and,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:55]
and as a consequence,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:56]
we value that because we recognize
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[26:59]
not only those original sacrifices,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:01]
but in the last 250 years,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:04]
we've had troops carry that flag in
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:07]
defense of freedom across the world.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:10]
Once again making sacrifice after
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:13]
sacrifice that we recognize and
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:15]
we feel when we look in that,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:17]
at that flag and that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:20]
And not to pick on our Canadian friends,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:22]
I told this story before,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:26]
you know, Canada,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:27]
no Canadian ever picked up a musket
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:29]
and face cannonballs in defense
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:31]
of the establishment of Canada.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:33]
The British Empire collapsed and
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:36]
they gained their freedom and,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:38]
and that was it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:40]
And,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:40]
and I mentioned that because I
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:41]
had a Canadian talk to me a couple
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:43]
weeks ago and they're very nice
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:45]
people and nicer than me probably.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:48]
And,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:48]
and he didn't quite understand our fervor,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:51]
our patriotic fervor for our flag and our,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:54]
and our rights.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:55]
And, and I was thinking that's because,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:57]
and I didn't tell this to him because
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[27:58]
I didn't want to hurt his feelings.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[28:00]
And,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[28:00]
and it's because they didn't have to fight.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[28:02]
They didn't have to sacrifice or wasn't
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[28:05]
Canadian bloodshed for their flag.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[28:07]
They just,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[28:08]
the British Empire collapsed and they said,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[28:10]
here you go, Canada,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[28:11]
you can have your freedom.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[28:12]
Matter of fact, they,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[28:13]
they literally kept the monarch
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[28:15]
on their money up until recently.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[28:17]
Maybe it's still there.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[28:18]
And so with with that,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[28:20]
I'd like to just say that this Friday,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[28:24]
we should all just strive to remember
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[28:27]
and be mindful and thankful for
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[28:30]
the all the sacrifices that were
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[28:32]
made so this flag can fly proudly,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[28:36]
bravely across this nation and represent
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[28:39]
the ideas this country was founded on.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818352584545455
[28:41]
Thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.895105283333333
[28:44]
Thank you, Sir.
NOTE Confidence: 0.848825275
[28:50]
OK, That's all the cards we have in.
NOTE Confidence: 0.848825275
[28:52]
I have anybody else in the
NOTE Confidence: 0.848825275
[28:54]
audience would like to say
NOTE Confidence: 0.848825275
[28:55]
anything that's not on the agenda?
NOTE Confidence: 0.740600314
[28:59]
Seeing none, anybody online? No.
NOTE Confidence: 0.740600314
[29:02]
So I would like to make just one request.
NOTE Confidence: 0.740600314
[29:05]
If you're looking at this video and
NOTE Confidence: 0.740600314
[29:07]
you would like an American flag,
NOTE Confidence: 0.740600314
[29:09]
please come down to the county administration
NOTE Confidence: 0.740600314
[29:12]
building and pick up your flag.
NOTE Confidence: 0.740600314
[29:13]
And they are little flags,
NOTE Confidence: 0.740600314
[29:16]
just in case somebody's watching online
NOTE Confidence: 0.740600314
[29:17]
and they didn't realize that they
NOTE Confidence: 0.740600314
[29:19]
might come down asking for a big flag.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925133854
[29:24]
OK, we are moving on down
NOTE Confidence: 0.925133854
[29:27]
to our consent agenda.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925133854
[29:29]
Is there anybody in the
NOTE Confidence: 0.925133854
[29:31]
audience that disagrees with
NOTE Confidence: 0.925133854
[29:32]
anything on the consent agenda?
NOTE Confidence: 0.60298274
[29:36]
Seeing none. Anybody online?
NOTE Confidence: 0.60298274
[29:39]
No. OK, Commissioners. Mr.
NOTE Confidence: 0.60298274
[29:41]
Chairman, I have my consent agenda.
NOTE Confidence: 0.60298274
[29:43]
At first, I believe with your approval,
NOTE Confidence: 0.60298274
[29:47]
I would like you to adopt
NOTE Confidence: 0.60298274
[29:48]
my consent agenda today,
NOTE Confidence: 0.60298274
[29:49]
which consists of eight items. So moved.
NOTE Confidence: 0.60298274
[29:53]
Second, All right, we have a motion.
NOTE Confidence: 0.60298274
[29:55]
And 2nd for your clerk or court consent
NOTE Confidence: 0.60298274
[29:57]
agenda, all those in favor say aye,
NOTE Confidence: 0.60298274
[29:59]
aye, opposed motion carries 50.
NOTE Confidence: 0.60298274
[30:04]
All right, moving down to our regular
NOTE Confidence: 0.60298274
[30:07]
consent agenda, Commissioners,
NOTE Confidence: 0.60298274
[30:10]
I make a motion for approval.
NOTE Confidence: 0.60298274
[30:12]
I'll second that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.60298274
[30:13]
All right, we have a motion and a
NOTE Confidence: 0.60298274
[30:16]
second to approve tabs three to 10.
NOTE Confidence: 0.60298274
[30:19]
All those in favor say aye, aye.
NOTE Confidence: 0.60298274
[30:22]
Opposed motion carries 50.
NOTE Confidence: 0.60298274
[30:26]
All right, so we are moving up to tab 27.
NOTE Confidence: 0.60298274
[30:32]
I believe it is.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[30:40]
Yes, Commissioner Parks, thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[30:44]
Thank you, Chair.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[30:45]
Thanks for moving this up Ford.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[30:47]
We do have some guests that
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[30:48]
are here this morning to,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[30:49]
to speak on the issue.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[30:52]
So we do, I think we have 4 out
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[30:53]
of the five council members,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[30:55]
so I'll introduce them first,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[30:56]
if you don't mind.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[30:57]
Mayor Joe Winecoop, Council Member Jim Lay,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:00]
Councilwoman Carol Womack,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:02]
and Councilman Jim Peacock,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:05]
they are all here this morning
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:07]
for this very important issue.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:09]
In just a moment, I'll,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:10]
I guess I'll respectfully ask Melanie and
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:13]
Jennifer to provide their input and analysis.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:16]
But essentially what you have in
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:18]
front of you today is where we are.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:21]
We'd like the town of Mont Verde,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:24]
the residents of Ferndale.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:25]
To be clear, it's not just Mont Verde.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:27]
It's many, many,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:28]
many of the residents of Ferndale as well.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:31]
And now I can say with certainty that
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:36]
the council members from Claremont,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:39]
council members from Mineola
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:42]
as well as Bella Colina,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:43]
who are all members of this ISBA have,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:46]
are in support of that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:48]
I don't, I can't speak for them individually.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:50]
To be clear,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:50]
there might be council members,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:52]
they have not officially voted on
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:54]
that with I think the exception of
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:56]
Mont Verde has unanimously at their
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[31:58]
council to request that we extend this
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:00]
interlocal service boundary agreement.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:02]
But what I can tell you is that
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:04]
there's great support for this
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:05]
among all the signing agencies,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:08]
entities of the interlocal service
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:11]
boundary agreement for Ferndale.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:12]
The request being to extend it to
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:15]
protect that rural protection area.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:17]
It's the only one that's left in,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:20]
in my district, It's in South Lake County.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:23]
There's the Ferndale rural protection
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:25]
area and then there's the Green
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:26]
Swamp as well on the other side.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:28]
This is obviously on the, the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:30]
the east side towards Lake Apopka,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:32]
as you know.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:33]
And so simply the request is,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:36]
is to extend that interlocal
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:38]
service boundary agreement.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:40]
We're about to, it's either about,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:43]
we got about six or seven
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:45]
years before it's renewed,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:46]
but they would like to extend
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:47]
it an additional 13 years.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:49]
The thought is to extend it another
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:51]
to make it another 20 years.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:54]
And it's, it's, it's pretty simple.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:55]
It's, it's essentially just to protect the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[32:58]
the rural area of Ferndale.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[33:02]
I will give you my little bit of
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[33:05]
history having been part of the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[33:07]
the comp plan, good or bad back in,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[33:09]
back in the day, back in 2005 or 6 maybe.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[33:14]
And then, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[33:16]
subsequent years after that
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[33:18]
where we kind of looked at the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[33:20]
the comprehensive plan for Lake County.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[33:22]
Ferndale always,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[33:23]
always has always been planned
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[33:25]
to be a rural area.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[33:28]
Those people came out back then.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[33:30]
They've come out recently
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[33:31]
at a meeting that I was at,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[33:33]
was able to attend the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[33:34]
the mayor had put the meeting on it,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[33:35]
orchestrated,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[33:36]
kind of conducted it and we
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[33:39]
had a packed house.
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[33:40]
I think there may be some pictures
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[33:42]
we'll show you of people very adamant,
NOTE Confidence: 0.734498856666667
[33:44]
very respectful and professional,
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[33:45]
of course, but very sincere and
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[33:48]
requesting that this be extended
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[33:51]
out to protect that rural area.
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[33:54]
So I think there's great support for it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[33:57]
We're basically the last,
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[33:58]
we could be the last entity to sign
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:01]
it because it requires all four or
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:03]
five of us to, to agree to do it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:06]
And then it would be,
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:07]
it would be enacted or or
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:10]
extended another 13 years.
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:13]
There's some, there's some language,
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:15]
I think Melanie will go over this.
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:17]
There's some language about making sure
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:19]
that density is making it clear that that
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:23]
density of one unit per five acre is,
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:25]
is maintained and was with
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:27]
is within that ISBA.
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:29]
And of course, I'm supportive of
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:31]
that as best as we can to do that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:34]
Obviously,
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:35]
anybody's always has their constitutional
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:37]
right to make a request in the future.
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:39]
And there may not be anything
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:40]
we can do about that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:41]
But we can put these assurances
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:43]
in place to be consistent
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:45]
with our comprehensive plan,
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:46]
the way it has always been
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:49]
envisioned and I think the way
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:50]
people want it envisioned.
NOTE Confidence: 0.896094240909091
[34:51]
Now,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8980851175
[34:53]
Melanie and Jennifer, OK,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8980851175
[34:55]
before we get started,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8980851175
[34:56]
Melanie, have you, I'm,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8980851175
[34:57]
I'm sure you read all of this,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8980851175
[34:59]
all this meets all the legalities.
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:04]
So you're not actually
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:05]
approving anything today.
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:06]
This is only discussion and direction.
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:08]
I've been working with the
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:10]
city attorneys for Mineola,
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:12]
Claremont and Mont Verde on wording
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:14]
for this particular document.
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:16]
The extension itself is not an issue.
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:18]
I mean, obviously the parties can
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:20]
agree to extend it for 13 years,
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:22]
an additional 13 years.
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:24]
So that would make its
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:25]
termination date in 2043.
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:26]
What we are working on is language
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:30]
regarding the densities out there.
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:32]
Some of the city attorneys are
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:34]
concerned that the ISPA statute does
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:36]
not allow you to lock in densities.
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:38]
There is some legitimate concerns there.
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:40]
So I will be meeting with them next week,
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:42]
the city attorneys and we're going
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:44]
to discuss if there's another
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:46]
way that we can offer protection
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:48]
without locking in densities.
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:49]
As you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:50]
with the Burt Harris Act and
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:51]
and other things of that nature,
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:52]
we need to be very careful about
NOTE Confidence: 0.950633015714286
[35:54]
how we would word such a document.
NOTE Confidence: 0.6933111
[36:00]
OK, All right, thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.6933111
[36:03]
I have a few speaker cards that
NOTE Confidence: 0.6933111
[36:06]
would like to speak on this.
NOTE Confidence: 0.6933111
[36:09]
I will call the people in the audience
NOTE Confidence: 0.6933111
[36:11]
to hear and then we'll go online.
NOTE Confidence: 0.6933111
[36:13]
So we'll start off with Mr.
NOTE Confidence: 0.6933111
[36:15]
Tom Bust. Bust
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[36:33]
Good morning Mr. Chairman Council,
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[36:35]
my name is Tom Brust,
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[36:37]
my address is 19132 bridges Glen Lane
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[36:42]
and the only comment I wanted to make on
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[36:45]
on the ISBA is it couple 2-3 years ago.
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[36:48]
I forget the exact date.
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[36:49]
I, I'm on the e-mail list for Lake
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[36:53]
County and I got a real nice e-mail
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[36:55]
explaining how the county Commission
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[36:57]
met with the 12 or 14 largest
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[37:00]
cities and towns within Lake County
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[37:02]
to discuss how to control growth,
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[37:04]
how to develop growth into,
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[37:06]
to the extent that it,
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[37:08]
it shares with our common
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[37:09]
values of the rural community,
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[37:11]
the the country feel of Lake County,
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[37:14]
how to maintain that,
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[37:15]
that feel for the growth coming that,
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[37:17]
that we're approaching and growing into.
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[37:21]
It's a very important topic.
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[37:22]
I don't know what the outcome of
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[37:24]
that meeting was what what steps were
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[37:26]
taken between the 14 communities,
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[37:28]
but it's clear that some of the
NOTE Confidence: 0.871602218
[37:30]
communities maybe not listen quite as well.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771268711428572
[37:35]
Our area is very is becoming encroached
NOTE Confidence: 0.771268711428572
[37:37]
upon by massive development and that's
NOTE Confidence: 0.771268711428572
[37:40]
the only thing the ISBA is trying to,
NOTE Confidence: 0.771268711428572
[37:42]
as you know, trying to curtail if we can.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771268711428572
[37:45]
The density is one of our biggest issues.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771268711428572
[37:48]
I think that's the most important
NOTE Confidence: 0.771268711428572
[37:50]
part of this whole ISBA,
NOTE Confidence: 0.771268711428572
[37:52]
how to control the density.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771268711428572
[37:54]
It's it's really very dense, but any help
NOTE Confidence: 0.771268711428572
[37:57]
on that would be greatly appreciated.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771268711428572
[38:00]
By knowing myself,
NOTE Confidence: 0.771268711428572
[38:01]
but everybody else within the Mineola,
NOTE Confidence: 0.771268711428572
[38:04]
I mean the Ferndale isba,
NOTE Confidence: 0.771268711428572
[38:07]
we like to keep it a rule, community rule
NOTE Confidence: 0.771268711428572
[38:11]
flavor that Lake County wants to enact.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771268711428572
[38:15]
I appreciate your time.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771268711428572
[38:16]
All right, thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771268711428572
[38:19]
Rebecca Rd.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771268711428572
[38:20]
Good morning,
NOTE Confidence: 0.698947181666667
[38:27]
commissioners. My name is Rebecca Rude.
NOTE Confidence: 0.698947181666667
[38:29]
I'm actually here on behalf
NOTE Confidence: 0.698947181666667
[38:31]
of my husband and myself.
NOTE Confidence: 0.698947181666667
[38:32]
He had to work today and
NOTE Confidence: 0.698947181666667
[38:33]
many of our neighbors,
NOTE Confidence: 0.698947181666667
[38:34]
but I'm a Ferndale resident.
NOTE Confidence: 0.698947181666667
[38:35]
And just a quick little background,
NOTE Confidence: 0.698947181666667
[38:37]
I'm a native of Florida,
NOTE Confidence: 0.698947181666667
[38:38]
born and raised in Orlando,
NOTE Confidence: 0.698947181666667
[38:39]
so I love this state.
NOTE Confidence: 0.698947181666667
[38:41]
My husband's a native as well.
NOTE Confidence: 0.698947181666667
[38:43]
We moved out to Ferndale back in 2008.
NOTE Confidence: 0.698947181666667
[38:47]
So we've been here quite a while and
NOTE Confidence: 0.698947181666667
[38:49]
we've been very fortunate to be able
NOTE Confidence: 0.698947181666667
[38:51]
to purchase some land around our
NOTE Confidence: 0.698947181666667
[38:52]
property or the years and conserve it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.698947181666667
[38:54]
We have been able to leave
NOTE Confidence: 0.698947181666667
[38:56]
it natural for the wildlife,
NOTE Confidence: 0.698947181666667
[38:58]
for our neighbors and friends to enjoy.
NOTE Confidence: 0.698947181666667
[39:00]
And I'm here in 100% support of
NOTE Confidence: 0.698947181666667
[39:04]
the signing of the extension of
NOTE Confidence: 0.762444975
[39:07]
ISBAI think it's absolutely
NOTE Confidence: 0.762444975
[39:10]
necessary for our small community.
NOTE Confidence: 0.762444975
[39:13]
It's absolutely beautiful.
NOTE Confidence: 0.762444975
[39:14]
If you haven't seen it,
NOTE Confidence: 0.762444975
[39:15]
I invite you to come out and look at it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.762444975
[39:17]
Take a drive.
NOTE Confidence: 0.762444975
[39:19]
It's just there's nothing else like it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.762444975
[39:21]
And once it's gone, it's gone forever.
NOTE Confidence: 0.762444975
[39:22]
So thank you for your time.
NOTE Confidence: 0.762444975
[39:26]
OK, Thank you,
NOTE Confidence: 0.42785997
[39:32]
Paul Loreno.
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[39:38]
Morning Commissioners. Thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[39:39]
My name is Paul Loreno,
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[39:41]
the town manager for Town of Mont Verde,
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[39:42]
and I thank you for considering this.
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[39:44]
I'm here on behalf of the Town
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[39:46]
Council of Mont Verde and the
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[39:48]
residents of Mont Verde area and
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[39:50]
supported extending this for 13 years.
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[39:53]
This agreement is really a collaborative
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[39:55]
effort between Lake County,
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[39:57]
the town of Mont Verde, town of Claremont,
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[39:59]
and the town of Mineola and Bella Colina CDD.
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[40:03]
Unlike typical ISBAS,
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[40:04]
you see that really say this
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[40:07]
city can annex this,
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[40:09]
this city can annex that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[40:11]
This one really says cities don't touch,
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[40:15]
let's leave this area of rule in Lake County.
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[40:18]
And rule's not a bad word.
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[40:21]
It's what makes parts of great
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[40:23]
Crown Lake County great.
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[40:25]
It sets us apart from driving through
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[40:27]
Orlando when you get to go through some
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[40:29]
rural areas in between your cities,
NOTE Confidence: 0.816077211111111
[40:30]
unlike driving down 50 going toward Orlando.
NOTE Confidence: 0.899440501666667
[40:35]
I want to say one thing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.899440501666667
[40:37]
This development agree or
NOTE Confidence: 0.899440501666667
[40:38]
this ISBA does not take away
NOTE Confidence: 0.899440501666667
[40:41]
any owner's property rights.
NOTE Confidence: 0.899440501666667
[40:43]
It does not take away any
NOTE Confidence: 0.899440501666667
[40:45]
of their entitlements.
NOTE Confidence: 0.899440501666667
[40:46]
The entitlements and property rights
NOTE Confidence: 0.899440501666667
[40:47]
they have now are the same ones
NOTE Confidence: 0.899440501666667
[40:49]
they had ten years ago and the same
NOTE Confidence: 0.899440501666667
[40:51]
ones they all have moving forward.
NOTE Confidence: 0.899440501666667
[40:53]
So it preserves the existing
NOTE Confidence: 0.899440501666667
[40:55]
entitlement rights that they have.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[40:59]
We really support this because
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:00]
it's just healthy for the area.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:02]
It's it's healthy for the
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:04]
community to have green space.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:06]
The area is abundant with wildlife.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:08]
In this area you can find bears and otters,
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:12]
Eagles, osprey, tortoises,
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:14]
obviously everywhere,
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:16]
and over 180 species of birds.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:19]
And if you think about the development
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:21]
that's going on in South Lake County,
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:23]
from the Grove,
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:24]
from Mineola to Groveland to Claremont,
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:26]
where's all this wildlife go?
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:28]
Everything has gotten concreted
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:29]
and we have this little patch of
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:32]
area that stands between the cities
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:34]
and Lake Apopka in this area not
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:37]
only includes the wildlife and
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:39]
includes several wetland areas,
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:40]
several low lying areas,
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:42]
huge historic large oak trees.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:45]
And it is a buffer from that density
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:49]
before you get to Lake Apopka,
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:51]
which we obviously are all working
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:53]
trying to clean that waterway up because
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:55]
it is the head water to everything
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:56]
that flows through Lake County.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[41:58]
So I encourage your support of
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[42:01]
this it it's a good agreement,
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[42:02]
it's a collaborative agreement
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[42:04]
and we we need to support some
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[42:07]
areas that have lower density,
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[42:09]
especially in South Lake because
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[42:10]
it's getting rarer and rarer.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[42:12]
So thank you very much.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[42:14]
Appreciate your consideration.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[42:15]
OK,
NOTE Confidence: 0.880202045454546
[42:15]
Thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7664792
[42:18]
Anita Carver.
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[42:23]
Good morning, Commissioners.
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[42:23]
Thank you for allowing us
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[42:25]
to speak on this issue.
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[42:26]
Want to thank the county Attorney's office
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[42:28]
for working on the language with us.
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[42:31]
The town of council in Montford
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[42:33]
really does want to protect the
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[42:35]
Ferndale Preserve and it's set forth
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[42:37]
in the current version of the ISBA,
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[42:39]
and we're looking to extend that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[42:41]
The statute does say that unincorporated
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[42:44]
areas that are identified in the ISBA
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[42:47]
fall under the county's comprehensive
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[42:49]
plan and land development regulations.
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[42:50]
And that's what we're asking
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[42:52]
to make clear to everyone.
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[42:54]
It already provides that utilities
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[42:56]
could not be extended into that area
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[42:58]
without the party's agreement in
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[43:00]
the county's consent to utilities.
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[43:02]
So there's language in there.
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[43:04]
We are just asking that it be
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[43:07]
made clear that your comprehensive
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[43:09]
plan as it currently exists,
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[43:12]
would govern the Ferndale Preserve,
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[43:14]
preserve that area.
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[43:16]
And as Mr.
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[43:17]
Loreno said, the council has no intention of
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[43:21]
depriving anybody of their property rights.
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[43:23]
We would just want to ensure that
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[43:25]
your comp plan governs that area.
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[43:27]
Thank you very much.
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[43:29]
OK.
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[43:30]
Thank you,
NOTE Confidence: 0.933083883846154
[43:31]
Miss Jane Hepting.
NOTE Confidence: 0.95088561
[43:42]
Good morning, Mr. Chairman.
NOTE Confidence: 0.95088561
[43:45]
Commissioners, my name is Jane Hepting.
NOTE Confidence: 0.95088561
[43:47]
I live in Lake County and I am president
NOTE Confidence: 0.95088561
[43:49]
of the Lake County Conservation Council,
NOTE Confidence: 0.95088561
[43:52]
which was founded in 1987 to protect
NOTE Confidence: 0.95088561
[43:55]
Lake County's natural resources.
NOTE Confidence: 0.95088561
[43:57]
One of our major goals is protecting our
NOTE Confidence: 0.95088561
[44:01]
rural protection areas from urban sprawl.
NOTE Confidence: 0.95088561
[44:03]
So we hope you will extend the
NOTE Confidence: 0.95088561
[44:06]
ISBA agreement to protect the
NOTE Confidence: 0.95088561
[44:08]
rural character of Ferndale.
NOTE Confidence: 0.95088561
[44:10]
Thank you. Thank you, Mr.
NOTE Confidence: 0.95088561
[44:15]
Greg Gingermeyer.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[44:24]
Good morning, Commissioners.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[44:25]
Every time I hear a a pause and a name,
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[44:27]
I know it's it's my name that's coming up.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[44:30]
15 years ago, Green Mountain Scenic Byway
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[44:34]
and Friends of Ferndale got together
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[44:37]
and we're really concerned that the
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[44:40]
Ferndale area not qualifying as a,
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[44:42]
as a town or a city are not able to
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[44:45]
qualify as a town or a city municipality.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[44:48]
They, they were really worried that
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[44:49]
they were just going to be disappearing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[44:51]
And so we worked with the names I remember
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[44:55]
were Fred and Wendy and Vaughn and Ed.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[44:58]
I don't know if any of those
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[44:59]
are still around here now,
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:00]
but that concern was there and
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:02]
the concern is still there today.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:04]
I think I'm going to approach this
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:06]
from a little bit different way and
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:08]
that the concern is that the people in
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:10]
Ferndale within this particular issue,
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:13]
they don't have representation.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:15]
They have friends. They have.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:16]
And I know Mont Verde is fully,
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:18]
fully behind it,
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:19]
but they don't really have any friends.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:21]
And I think the only support that
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:23]
they can truly gain,
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:24]
and that support is by by way of voting
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:28]
for the representatives is your counsel.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:31]
And they can't,
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:33]
can't necessarily trust Mont Verde,
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:35]
although I know Mont Verde's behind them.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:36]
They can't trust Claremont.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:37]
They can't trust Mineola and you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:39]
the CDD doesn't really have any effect.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:41]
They can't vote for any of those people.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:44]
And so because you,
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:45]
because they are your constituents,
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:48]
I think the idea of protecting those
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:50]
people in Ferndale is really important.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771274171538461
[45:53]
Thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.526107728
[45:58]
Thank you, Mayor Wine Coop.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[46:12]
Hello. Thank you for having me here today.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[46:13]
I just wanted to make sure I've
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[46:17]
told everybody that I'm very,
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[46:18]
very in favor of this ISPA.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[46:20]
We put it together back in 2010
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[46:22]
and just recently noticed it was
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[46:24]
going to expire in six years.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[46:25]
So we wanted to bring it forward
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[46:27]
right now and I think it'll do a lot
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[46:30]
of good for the a lot of people.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[46:32]
What I'm handing to you right now
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[46:34]
is pictures of our meetings that we
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[46:37]
had so you can understand who was
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[46:39]
there and also the paperwork that
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[46:44]
everybody signed saying that they're
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[46:45]
in favor of it that were there.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[46:47]
There's about 154 people there total
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[46:49]
come and gone and they at that
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[46:53]
represented a pretty big chunk of Ferndale,
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[46:56]
probably 8085% of them.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[46:57]
We also got letter in there from
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[47:00]
the Guy family who's one of the
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[47:02]
bigger property owners there.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[47:04]
He owns 235 and one one 235 acres,
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[47:08]
and then he also they own like
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[47:10]
40 or fifty others,
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[47:12]
but he wanted to make a statement that
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[47:13]
their family's never going to sell
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[47:15]
that land and they're pretty much
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[47:17]
settled in there for a long time.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[47:20]
So anyway, that's about it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[47:21]
Everybody that's got up and talked
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[47:22]
to you all is pretty much said,
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[47:24]
but I was going to say I just want
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[47:26]
to make sure you know that I we are
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[47:29]
our council is in all favor of this.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[47:31]
ISPAI also want to add that Jennifer
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[47:33]
and Fred doing an awesome job for us
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[47:35]
when we asked him to help for help.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[47:37]
They do a great job and I appreciate them.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83383225
[47:40]
All right. Thank you, Miss Cindy Newton.
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[47:51]
Good morning, Cindy Newton.
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[47:54]
District Four. Well,
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[47:55]
the Ferndale ISBA is in effect of 20-30.
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[47:58]
It is coming up for and 2025
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:01]
for a periodical review.
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:04]
So it's a good time to be looking
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:07]
at this for extension development
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:08]
pressures high in all of our rural
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:11]
protection areas as well as our rural
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:13]
areas designated for very precise
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:15]
controlled growth and intended to keep
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:17]
these rural areas of rural character.
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:19]
Protect our water supply with recharge,
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:21]
protect our water quality with
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:23]
less nutrient loading and protect
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:26]
our vital environmental resources,
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:28]
including our unique farmland soil
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:30]
for a sustainable local food source.
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:34]
Developments rapidly changing
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:35]
the character of our countryside,
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:38]
negatively affecting our rural communities,
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:40]
diminishing the wildlife habitat,
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:43]
increasing traffic,
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:44]
negatively affecting established
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:46]
communities in small towns,
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:49]
and a host of other issues related
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:52]
to this encroachment.
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:53]
Extending this ISBA is a step that
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:55]
can be taken to greatly show needed
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[48:58]
support for all rural citizens of
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[49:01]
Lake County, Not just burned out.
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[49:04]
Being in nature reduces our stress,
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[49:06]
anger, fear, increases pleasant feelings.
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[49:09]
Exposure to these open natural areas not
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[49:12]
only makes us feel better emotionally,
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[49:15]
it also contributes to our
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[49:17]
physical well-being,
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[49:18]
reproduces blood pressure,
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[49:20]
heart rate, muscle tension,
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[49:21]
and the production of stress hormones.
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[49:25]
While all ISBA should be reviewed as written,
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[49:29]
it is our hope that this one will
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[49:31]
not only be extended as written,
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[49:33]
but it will be held up as a
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[49:35]
template for incorporating more
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[49:37]
protective language in the other
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[49:39]
Isbas and comprehension plan,
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[49:41]
which include the rural protection areas.
NOTE Confidence: 0.852553133333333
[49:44]
Thank you for your time.
NOTE Confidence: 0.764279108
[49:48]
OK, Thank you, Miss Newton.
NOTE Confidence: 0.764279108
[49:51]
Mr. Marty Proctor.
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:01]
Good morning, Marty Proctor, 18225 Rose St.,
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:04]
Groveland, FL, my address only,
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:07]
and here's a private citizen.
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:09]
I also live in rural Lake County.
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:12]
I do not live in the city of Groveland.
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:14]
And I really do appreciate the fact
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:16]
that we have an outstanding sitting
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:18]
commissioners and council right now
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:20]
that are proactively going after
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:22]
these kinds of agreements and getting
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:24]
ahead of the curve on this.
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:26]
It makes me proud to be a citizen.
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:27]
It makes me proud to be
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:28]
represented by the five of you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:30]
So thank you very much for that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:31]
And ultimately what we need
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:34]
here is we need more Ferndales,
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:36]
we need more Umatillas,
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:38]
we need more Yolahas.
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:40]
We do not need another Mineola.
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:41]
We have one of those now.
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:43]
So that would be my suggestion would be to
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:46]
keep them the way they are as much as we can.
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:48]
Thank you very much for
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:49]
representing us so well.
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:51]
OK, thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:52]
That's all the cards I have.
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:54]
Anybody else in the I just
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:55]
want to speak on this issue.
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:57]
Come on up.
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[50:58]
Please state your name and
NOTE Confidence: 0.847763461428572
[51:00]
address for the record.
NOTE Confidence: 0.712679777142857
[51:05]
I apologize. I turned in a card,
NOTE Confidence: 0.712679777142857
[51:06]
so maybe it'll show up later on in
NOTE Confidence: 0.712679777142857
[51:08]
the and it's somewhere around here.
NOTE Confidence: 0.712679777142857
[51:11]
Nathan Fosch, most of you know me.
NOTE Confidence: 0.712679777142857
[51:13]
Chairman, commissioners, staff.
NOTE Confidence: 0.712679777142857
[51:14]
Thank you for giving me a moment.
NOTE Confidence: 0.712679777142857
[51:17]
I've been to several of these meetings.
NOTE Confidence: 0.712679777142857
[51:19]
I can tell you that the
NOTE Confidence: 0.712679777142857
[51:20]
people that own this property.
NOTE Confidence: 0.712679777142857
[51:22]
Oh, there we go.
NOTE Confidence: 0.712679777142857
[51:23]
See, I wasn't lying.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[51:26]
Mr. Nathan, please come up. Thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[51:30]
So I've been to several of these
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[51:32]
meetings and the residents clearly
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[51:34]
do not want the growth. You know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[51:36]
Mineola started this growth in the 90s.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[51:40]
This is not new. All of you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[51:42]
these developers take many years.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[51:44]
They think in decades,
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[51:45]
not in months and years, decades,
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[51:47]
multiple decades. So some say,
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[51:50]
why are we looking at renewing this now?
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[51:52]
We still have six years,
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[51:53]
seven years, whatever it is.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[51:55]
But the developers that's now,
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[51:58]
they're looking now to buy this land.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:00]
They're looking now to see
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:01]
who they can get to sell,
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:03]
to move and develop that land.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:05]
So you need to do this now to let
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:08]
them know this is not for development,
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:10]
that this is rural.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:11]
So it's a today issue, not a tomorrow issue.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:15]
Mineola, as he stated, right?
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:17]
We are growing faster than
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:18]
I think most of us want.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:20]
We're dealing with sins of the past.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:22]
But we are literally
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:25]
wrapping around Ferndale.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:26]
Pretty soon you will not be able to
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:28]
get to Ferndale unless you do it by
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:30]
boat and without going through Mineola.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:32]
So we've got to make sure
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:34]
we put that defense up.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:35]
We've got to extend this.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:37]
I encourage you all to be in favor of this.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:39]
I can tell you at the Ferndale meeting,
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:41]
a lot of my ex residents
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:43]
from Sugarloaf are there.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:45]
They would like an ISBA right there
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:47]
staring down the barrel of this
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:49]
development as well and trying
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:51]
to figure out how to protect it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:53]
The last thing I want to say,
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:54]
I've told those that are here
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:55]
speaking at at the Ferndale meeting,
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:57]
and I'll say it here publicly,
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[52:59]
the best way to keep development from
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[53:01]
growing into rural is don't sell your rural.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[53:04]
They don't steal your land,
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[53:06]
they buy it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[53:07]
If you don't want development in your area,
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[53:09]
come up with plans on how not
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[53:11]
to sell your land to developers.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[53:13]
I sold my acreage to a family that
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[53:15]
at least told me they intend to stay
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[53:18]
there and make it a family place.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[53:20]
I did not sell the developers and that
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[53:23]
and your defense and extending the
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[53:24]
ISBA will help us keep this world.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[53:27]
Thank you very much.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[53:28]
OK, thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[53:30]
All right.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906397052
[53:31]
Anybody else in the audience
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[53:35]
seeing none? I'm closing the
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[53:36]
public comments to the audience.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[53:38]
Anybody online that like
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[53:39]
to speak on this issue?
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[53:42]
Really. OK, Nobody online.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[53:44]
Commissioner Parks, yeah,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[53:46]
just thank you and I appreciate
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[53:48]
everybody that showed up today.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[53:49]
And I'm just to recap a couple
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[53:51]
of great points that were
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[53:52]
bought up by various speakers.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[53:54]
Want to first point out sort
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[53:56]
of the big picture here.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[53:57]
And if you look on the screen,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[53:59]
this is the Ferndale Rural
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:01]
Protection area and its entirety.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:02]
And you see up in the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:04]
in the in my left hand corner,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:06]
you see where the development is,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:07]
that's Mineola and look how close it is.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:11]
So you will also see on this map that
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:16]
is the current entitlement you see.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:17]
What do you see there?
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:18]
You see one unit per five acres.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:21]
You don't see PU DS that may have
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:24]
some uncertainty as to, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:26]
some kind of entitlement from way,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:27]
way back in the day.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:29]
There's no,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:30]
there's it's pretty clear
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:31]
this is one unit per 5 acres.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:34]
Many of the land owners were there,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:35]
including the largest landowner,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:36]
the Guy family.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:37]
You have the letter, a copy of that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:39]
Where can you point out
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:40]
where the Guy property is?
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:41]
Yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:41]
So if you look on the the left more,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:44]
this is a little sideways here,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:46]
but you see the the Ferndale
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:48]
Conservation area here,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:49]
Ferndale Preserve,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:49]
you go towards what would be my left,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:53]
the where the Green Mountain
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:54]
Scenic Conway comes through.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:55]
There's some larger tracts of land look
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[54:57]
like little 40 acre blocks that are all
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:00]
kind of pieced together through here.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:01]
That is,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:02]
that is.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:02]
So when you're like driving that
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:04]
and you look over and you can kind
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:05]
of see what's happening in Mineola,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:07]
you see a little bit like that's it,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:10]
That's it goes all the way up to to the back.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:12]
And at one time there was a,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:14]
there was supposed to be a 300
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:15]
foot buffer or, or 100 foot out,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:17]
to be clear, could be 100, could be 300.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:19]
But there was a much larger buffer
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:22]
planned between Mineola and that area.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:25]
This part of Ferndale that had sensed it's,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:27]
it's 25 feet now.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:29]
So you have that density,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:31]
4-5 units per acre from Mineola
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:34]
literally on the line of the
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:36]
Ferndale Preserve or the
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:38]
Ferndale Rural Protection area.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:41]
And this has come up to Mont
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:45]
Verts Credit very concerned,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:47]
obviously about what happens
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:49]
as they eloquently stated.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:51]
And Nathan just said it sort of too,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:54]
because there's been interest,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[55:57]
there's sincere like real interest
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[56:00]
from development within these
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[56:02]
within these parts of Ferndale.
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[56:04]
That's why all this has come up
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[56:06]
and the desire to go ahead and,
NOTE Confidence: 0.835491373
[56:08]
you know, extend the extend the ISBA.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:14]
So you'll see that the
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:16]
turn out from the meeting.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:18]
I thought it was well attended.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:19]
As a side sort of a side note,
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:21]
I would love for the county to go
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:22]
out to Ferndale at some point.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:24]
Can you pull that picture up of the meeting?
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:27]
I believe it was here online that I saw it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:30]
It's definitely in our packet.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:31]
It's in our, it's in our,
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:31]
it's in our packet. Yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:33]
So you see, you know, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:36]
you see a good crowd there.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:38]
They were.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:38]
They were all extremely
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:40]
supportive of extending this
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:41]
and they're all property owners.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:43]
There was some,
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:44]
there was some people from Sugarloaf
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:46]
Mountain that were there as well,
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:48]
but they're all property owners
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:49]
that were part of this meeting.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:51]
So I'm not sure.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:52]
I don't think I quite understand exactly how
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:56]
this would affect somebody's proper right,
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:58]
the proper rights.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[56:59]
I do appreciate attorneys perspective.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:00]
They're trying to protect us.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:03]
I'm not sure I understand it fully.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:05]
If it's you're just declaring that it is
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:06]
what it is and you're extending the ISBA,
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:08]
but you're making it clear that
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:11]
it's one unit for five acres.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:13]
If there's if there's some rewarding
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:14]
we have to do for that, I understand.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:16]
I think it's I think it's more
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:18]
from the other attorneys.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:20]
But yeah, so just a couple of things.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:23]
This map is labeled the
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:24]
Ferndale Rural Protection Area.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:26]
Just to clarify for the record,
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:28]
Ferndale is not a rural protection
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:30]
area as defined in our comp plan.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:33]
Ferndale is a special community.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:35]
There are different policies that
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:37]
apply to rural protection areas
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:39]
that do not apply to Ferndale.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:41]
So going forward when you get
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:42]
ready to redo your comp plan,
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:44]
which we know is coming in
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:46]
the next year or so,
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:47]
if you want to designate it
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:49]
as a world protection area,
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:50]
you need to do that at that time.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:52]
So it is a special community, not an RPA.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:55]
So all of those policies in the
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:57]
RPA that we have for Wekiva,
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[57:59]
Ocala and those areas do not
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:01]
apply because this is not an RPA.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:04]
So just I just want to clarify
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:05]
that because we have had a lot of
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:07]
confusion over the past year with
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:08]
people wanting to know what's our pay RPA,
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:10]
what's not.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:11]
This is not as far as the issue
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:15]
with property rights.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:17]
So the current ISBA doesn't lock the density.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:21]
It says that cities cannot annex
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:23]
into Ferndale and Ferndale.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:25]
And the area defined on the map
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:27]
is governed under Lake County's
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:29]
comprehensive plan,
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:29]
which is the world designation of
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:31]
one to five and a conservation,
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:33]
of course, which is the county park.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:35]
So we have to be careful when we go
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:38]
forward that we don't incorporate
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:40]
something into the ISBA that then
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:42]
ties your hands when you are trying
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:44]
to redo your comprehensive plan.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:46]
So you don't want to lock densities.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:49]
That's also where you may end
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:51]
up with people making claims.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949400346
[58:53]
Whether they have valid claims or not,
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[58:55]
it's a different story.
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[58:56]
It is still very costly to defend
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[58:58]
when people file claims when
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:00]
they're claiming either at taking
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:02]
a property or the lesser taking
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:04]
concept of the Burt Harris Act.
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:06]
You still have to spend money
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:08]
to defend against those claims.
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:10]
So that's what I have to work
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:11]
out with the city attorneys.
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:13]
We have to find a wording that's going
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:15]
to balance what you want to accomplish
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:17]
with not impacting property rights.
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:19]
Because currently anybody in this
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:20]
area can come into the county and
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:23]
they can submit an application
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:24]
to amend the comprehensive plan.
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:26]
If you say in your ISBA that this
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:29]
must always be rural at 1:00 to 5:00,
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:32]
then you potentially impact
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:33]
somebody's property rights,
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:35]
the right to come in and apply and present
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:37]
to you a case to do something different.
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:39]
So you are then governing your
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:41]
comp plan by an external document.
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:44]
So those are the things that we have
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:46]
to work through before we bring this
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:48]
back for any type of formal action.
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:50]
Can can we do something similar
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:53]
to the Groveland JPA?
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:54]
So it's annexation I think is the issue,
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:56]
right.
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:57]
So, so if, if, if,
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[59:59]
if you're a landowner and you
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:01]
want to annex into Groveland,
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:04]
the Groveland JPA and gets published finally,
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:07]
it's going to say you have to
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:10]
follow the county comp plan,
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:12]
right?
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:12]
So,
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:13]
so,
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:13]
so there's no point to annex into
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:15]
the city of Groveland if you're in
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:17]
the Green Swamp because you're not
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:19]
going to get any more entitlements
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:21]
in the county would have gotten you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:23]
Doesn't that solve it?
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:26]
Possibly that actual language.
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:27]
I don't recall being in the Groveland JPA,
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:31]
but we've got to go back and look at it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:33]
I believe right now I'm,
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:34]
I'm waiting on Groveland to
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:35]
submit a revised draft.
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:36]
So it may be something they've added
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:38]
and I just haven't seen it yet.
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:40]
I with the with the city decides to do,
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:44]
if we agree in a JPA that the city
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:46]
is going to set their comp plan to
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:48]
some particular requirement and
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:49]
somebody annexes in and they can,
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:51]
they're only available for those categories.
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:53]
You can do that,
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:54]
but it's not the county comp plan is
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:56]
not going to govern in a city boundary.
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:00:58]
So if we agree with Groveland or any
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:01:00]
other city that our densities will
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:01:03]
apply whether somebody's annexed or not,
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:01:05]
they have to adjust their
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:01:07]
comprehensive plan to create those
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:01:09]
categories to recognize those uses.
NOTE Confidence: 0.866354103846154
[1:01:12]
The
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:14]
I appreciate you pointing out
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:15]
and changing the name is fine.
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:17]
And I think if you look at the map,
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:18]
the Frontier Rd.
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:19]
protection area in the comp plan,
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:21]
there's some confusion because they reference
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:23]
it as a rural area in the special area.
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:25]
So if we had to get that cleared up,
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:26]
that's fine. I'm not proposing
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:28]
to be clear to change the map.
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:30]
The rural, the rural,
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:31]
whether you call it a special area,
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:33]
rural protection area, that's fine.
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:35]
So I wanted to make that clear too.
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:37]
It's not a that area. Yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:38]
And, and my clarification is more
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:40]
for the public because there are
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:42]
some folks that are very attuned
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:44]
into when you say the word RPA,
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:46]
it means something very,
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:48]
very specific.
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:49]
So this is not an RPA under our plan,
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:52]
doesn't say it can't be,
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:54]
it doesn't say that it's not protected.
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:56]
It's just that has a very specific meaning
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:01:58]
to some groups out in the community
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:02:00]
that follow these types of issues.
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:02:02]
We might want to look at the
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:02:03]
comp plan because I think they,
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:02:04]
and some of the rural areas,
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:02:05]
they do reference the rural,
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:02:06]
they, they reference the mountain,
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:02:08]
the Ferndale rural protection,
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:02:09]
a rural special area as a,
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:02:11]
as a rural area, the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:02:13]
the Ferndale special area
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:02:14]
as a rural protection area.
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:02:16]
So, yeah, so we have lots of inconsistencies.
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:02:20]
Yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:02:20]
So that I mean, that's how that map was made.
NOTE Confidence: 0.860275161818182
[1:02:22]
But yeah,
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:02:25]
OK. And yeah, All right.
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:02:27]
I think that's my my question now.
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:02:29]
I got a question for the attorney
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:02:31]
though on the Bert Harris issue.
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:02:32]
If we were to let's just say we
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:02:35]
don't wait for the comp plan,
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:02:36]
all the changes that we're going
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:02:38]
to be working on in the future,
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:02:39]
we go ahead and let's just go
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:02:41]
ahead and make this a rural
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:02:43]
protection area and put those added,
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:02:45]
you know that added language in there.
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:02:48]
Is that a trigger for somebody then
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:02:50]
to challenge us on Burt Harris?
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:02:52]
Anytime you're changing your
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:02:54]
comp plan or your LD Rs,
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:02:56]
you could certainly trigger a claim.
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:02:59]
The nice thing though is that we're
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:00]
hearing that a lot of the people
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:02]
that came to the meetings and
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:03]
particularly the large land owners,
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:05]
they seem to be on board.
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:06]
So it could be that we work with them
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:09]
and we do it more as a joint change,
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:13]
not coming from the county,
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:16]
but more as a grassroots application.
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:19]
Yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:19]
And again,
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:20]
I'm not sure because as long as we
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:23]
have a comp plan that is always,
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:25]
somebody will always have the ability
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:27]
to walk in with an AT and have submit
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:29]
an application to get a land use change,
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:31]
whether it's in a city or the county.
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:35]
I mean, none of us up here,
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:37]
ostensibly the answer is going to be no,
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:38]
sorry.
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:39]
You can put your application in,
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:40]
but there's no chance we're
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:41]
ever going to consider it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:42]
I think that's where the rub comes
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:43]
like if we actually have something
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:45]
an official says this always has
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:46]
to be one unit of five acres,
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:48]
somebody puts an application in and we say,
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:51]
no,
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:51]
we have this rule that says it can
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:52]
always has to be one unit, 5 acres.
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:53]
I think that's might might be
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:55]
what the concern is that that
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:57]
triggers the Burt Harris,
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:03:59]
you know that aren't we saying that
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:04:01]
anyway with the rural protection areas?
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:04:03]
Well, yes and no.
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:04:06]
I mean,
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:04:06]
the rural protection areas
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:04:08]
don't necessarily set density
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:04:11]
because that's an overlay.
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:04:12]
You still have underlying comp plan.
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:04:14]
Some of them have rural one to five,
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:04:16]
some are have rural transition,
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:04:19]
which gives you some flexibility
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:04:20]
that the RPA is an overlay.
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:04:22]
But I,
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:04:23]
I think ultimately I and the city
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:04:26]
attorneys are going to work towards
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:04:28]
some language that will get you
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:04:30]
hopefully where you would like to
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:04:32]
be and protect the county and the
NOTE Confidence: 0.617928954
[1:04:33]
cities from any type of future claim.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:04:37]
So the purpose for this meeting is
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:04:39]
just to give you direction on what we,
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:04:42]
the board want you to go after, correct.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:04:46]
I, we anticipate bringing something
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:04:48]
back in July for board approval.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:04:50]
And just to reiterate though,
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:04:51]
if there's any chance you can get
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:04:53]
property owners on board and you can
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:04:55]
actually designate it in such a way,
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:04:57]
I mean, maybe that's something
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:04:58]
to look at in the future.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:00]
But there's no question when you make this
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:02]
drive and you drive through this area,
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:04]
it is like a breath of fresh air.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:06]
It's just gorgeous.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:07]
And that property in particular we
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:09]
were talking about where you kind of
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:10]
look over the horizon and you see
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:12]
that and you just think to yourself,
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:14]
I hope that never changes because it's,
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:16]
it's just, it's beautiful.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:19]
And we have the Ferndale or the
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:23]
scenic overlook there, which is being,
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:27]
you know, it's,
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:29]
it's being enlarged and it's
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:30]
going to be higher.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:31]
It's going to be that's
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:32]
going to be incredible.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:33]
So this is definitely long
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:35]
after we are all gone.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:37]
This potentially can be one of
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:39]
those places that people in Lake
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:41]
County and people from all over
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:42]
will talk about if we do this right.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:45]
So I definitely want to say thank
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:47]
you to the town of Mont Verde and as
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:49]
well as many on Claremont and for
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:51]
the residents for getting on board.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:53]
And it's exciting and maybe maybe some
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:56]
of the other cities that see this,
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:05:59]
that have some of these same types
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:02]
of attributes, we'll,
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:03]
we'll look at this as an opportunity
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:05]
to actually use an ISBA for a
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:09]
alternative purpose than than what it
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:11]
has typically been used for in the past.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:13]
So thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:15]
OK, Commissioner Blake, yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:17]
I mean,
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:18]
so we're just supposed to provide direction.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:19]
I don't feel like I have enough of a grasp
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:22]
on the implications to provide direction.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:24]
I'm, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:25]
I'll have to sit down with Melanie
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:26]
and talk about some things.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:28]
Why the 20 years?
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:29]
Why the 13 years that that's the furthest
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:31]
out it can go as a 20 year extension,
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:33]
I believe so.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:34]
I believe the statute only allows 20 years.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:36]
So if there's six years left,
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:37]
is the idea just every year
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:39]
extended out to the maximum 20?
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:41]
You see what I'm saying?
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:41]
Six years is a long time.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:43]
So I'm just wondering why,
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:44]
why at this moment to do that?
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:46]
It's a signal to developers that might
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:48]
be looking at the property to go,
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:49]
Oh no,
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:50]
these three governments have
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:51]
decided that this is really the
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:52]
direction we want this to go.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:54]
But is that a signal that's going
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:55]
to be sent out every year that
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:56]
we're going to extend this 20 years,
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:57]
20 years, 20 years?
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:06:58]
I just, I don't, I don't think so.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:07:00]
I mean, I guess that in theory could happen.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:07:03]
But no, I think they just,
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:07:04]
I think it's just to extend it
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:07:06]
20 years to as well said.
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:07:07]
I mean,
NOTE Confidence: 0.924827416
[1:07:08]
it's just sort of a
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:09]
it's the four of us entities saying,
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:12]
you know, the people we represent,
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:13]
this is the vision for this area and
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:15]
we want to continue with that vision.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:18]
Yeah, I'll just say this.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:19]
And I'm not comfortable providing
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:21]
direction because it's something I
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:23]
feel like I need to understand better.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:25]
But I've said this before and I just caution
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:28]
everyone that I love rural, beautiful,
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:31]
scenic property as much as anybody.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:34]
But the assumption seems to become that you,
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:37]
there's this, there's this right,
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:39]
this fundamental right to a
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:41]
view of someone else's property.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:43]
And that's, that doesn't exist.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:44]
That right does not exist.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:46]
And so I want to be very careful
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:47]
that we're protecting the individual
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:49]
property rights and completely agreed
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:50]
with your comments that you can,
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:52]
you're free to sell it to somebody
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:53]
that that's going to do what
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:54]
you want to do with it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:55]
That's that's a private transaction.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:07:58]
But you have to be really careful
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:00]
to try to lock in because, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:02]
if you think it's beautiful at 1:00 to 5:00,
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:04]
imagine how beautiful it was at zero to five,
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:06]
right?
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:06]
But everybody still built a
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:07]
house and developed out there.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:09]
And so you just have to be very careful
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:10]
about the property rights aspect of it,
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:11]
which is which is my concern why I'm not
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:14]
comfortable saying yay or nay today.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:18]
Can I just mention, though,
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:19]
that I think that's why it's so
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:20]
important for it to be a collaboration,
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:21]
because I think then it addresses
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:23]
those issues of property rights.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:25]
And, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:26]
if everybody decides this is what we're
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:27]
going to try to do together, that's the key.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:30]
Yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:30]
And and there was some, most of those people,
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:34]
there were property owners and very,
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:36]
very clear message.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:38]
They're involved, right.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:39]
But there were property owners
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:40]
who owned it before then,
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:41]
right?
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:42]
And at some point they developed the
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:43]
property and I'm sure there were
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:44]
tons of people not happy about that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:46]
So my point is just that you can't
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:48]
just you can't just think this is a
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:50]
snapshot in time. And that's great.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:52]
And I completely agree.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:52]
It's beautiful drive through the but
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:54]
you have to think of future property
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:55]
owners in the impact on them as well.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:56]
I agree.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:57]
But they, you know, they,
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:08:58]
they bought with a one to five entitlement.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:09:00]
They knew what they were,
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:09:01]
they were getting into and that's
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:09:02]
what they wanted.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:09:03]
And that's it would continue that way.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:09:04]
Wouldn't prohibit somebody from
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:09:06]
selling it for to 1:00 to 5:00 or some
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:09:09]
special exception to come in in the future.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:09:12]
And, you know, to be clear, again,
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:09:13]
nobody's, none of us want to die.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:09:15]
Anybody's constitutional rights on that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:09:17]
That's to be clear.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:09:18]
They'll be, they'll be due process
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:09:19]
and and a system to do that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:09:21]
Yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:09:21]
And like I said,
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:09:22]
I just want to make sure I fully understand
NOTE Confidence: 0.830734744285714
[1:09:24]
the implications before I weigh in.
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:09:28]
OK. So I don't have a problem
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:09:32]
given direction of where we want
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:09:34]
to go because Melanie's going
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:09:36]
to bring them back to us anyway.
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:09:38]
You're talking about property rights.
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:09:41]
The person that currently owns
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:09:44]
the land currently has all the
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:09:47]
property rights to that land.
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:09:49]
If that person wants to make
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:09:51]
it 1 to 20 or 1:00 to 5:00,
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:09:53]
then he should be able to.
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:09:55]
He or she should be able to do that
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:09:58]
as they currently own the land today.
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:01]
So I like your idea of maybe encouraging
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:04]
all the property owners out there
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:07]
to come to a collaborative agreement
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:09]
to what you want and then let the
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:12]
attorney and the state attorney
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:14]
and Ferndale come to an agreement.
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:18]
So how would you like to move?
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:20]
Yeah, I think the, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:22]
if I were to make a motion,
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:23]
if that's even needed,
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:24]
but it would be to direct,
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:27]
direct staff to bring us,
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:30]
bring us something to advertise in
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:33]
ordinance to advertise to extend
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:35]
the ISBA for another 13 years.
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:38]
And then also,
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:40]
assuming that you're going to work,
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:41]
Melanie's going to work with the
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:43]
other attorneys to craft the language
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:45]
to make it clear that the intent
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:47]
is to protect that that density,
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:49]
but also protect the property
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:51]
rights there as well. That's OK.
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:55]
We have a motion and a second.
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:10:56]
The only thing I would like to ask in
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:11:00]
that motion is she's going to bring
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:11:02]
it back to us, correct? Correct.
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:11:04]
Yeah. OK. Was that in your motion?
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:11:07]
That's my motion. OK, All right.
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:11:10]
We have a motion to need to
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:11:11]
2nd any further discussion.
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:11:13]
All those in favor say aye, aye, opposed aye.
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:11:17]
Motion carries 41.
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:11:20]
OK, thank you all.
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:11:21]
Thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:11:22]
We're going to we're going to take,
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:11:24]
I'm assuming some of y'all are y'all
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:11:26]
going to stay for the wonderful
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:11:28]
presentations we have today?
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:11:30]
You could stay for the land acquisition
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:11:33]
referendum in the comp plan.
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:11:34]
We'll give a 5 minute break and then
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:11:36]
we'll come back and well, I won't leave,
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:11:38]
but in 5 minutes, we'll be coming back.
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:11:40]
Thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.910545632857143
[1:11:41]
Appreciate it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.656867536666667
[1:11:48]

OK. We're back in session.
NOTE Confidence: 0.87998067
[1:20:37]
We're coming down to our presentations.
NOTE Confidence: 0.87998067
[1:20:40]
And what a fantastic segue from
NOTE Confidence: 0.87998067
[1:20:43]
my last tab to this tab Mr.
NOTE Confidence: 0.87998067
[1:20:45]
Mike Fitzgerald,
NOTE Confidence: 0.87998067
[1:20:46]
Director of Planning and Zoning.
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:20:53]
Good morning. Thank you, Chairman.
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:20:55]
Commissioners for the record,
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:20:57]
Mike Fitzgerald,
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:20:58]
Office of Planning and Zoning Director,
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:00]
as an introduction to this item,
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:02]
the Lake County Comprehensive Plan
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:04]
became effective on September 22nd, 2011.
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:08]
Florida Statutes requires that at
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:10]
least once every seven years that
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:13]
each local government evaluate its
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:14]
comprehensive plan to determine if the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:16]
if any amendments are necessary.
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:19]
On June 15th, 2022,
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:22]
the county awarded a contract
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:24]
to Kanan and Associates,
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:26]
which subsequently became Kim Lee
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:28]
Horn and Associates to evaluate our
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:31]
comprehensive plan and they have
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:33]
done so and determined that there
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:35]
are certain amendments that are
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:36]
necessary and they have some other
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:39]
recommendations to be made as well.
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:41]
With that,
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:42]
I will introduce Nathan Milch
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:44]
and Eliza Giuliano.
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:46]
And with the Board's permission,
NOTE Confidence: 0.878407704
[1:21:47]
I'll turn the presentation over to them.
NOTE Confidence: 0.856531006
[1:21:56]
Good morning, chair and Commissioners.
NOTE Confidence: 0.856531006
[1:21:58]
Thank you for having me here today.
NOTE Confidence: 0.856531006
[1:22:00]
I'm Eliza Harris Juliano.
NOTE Confidence: 0.856531006
[1:22:01]
I'm joined by Nathan Milt,
NOTE Confidence: 0.856531006
[1:22:03]
who's I may call on during Q&A
NOTE Confidence: 0.856531006
[1:22:06]
depending on what the questions are.
NOTE Confidence: 0.856531006
[1:22:08]
I apologize.
NOTE Confidence: 0.856531006
[1:22:09]
Is there a slide remote here?
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:22:20]
And indeed what a what a great
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:22:22]
segue for this presentation.
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:22:23]
As was mentioned, we are here
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:22:26]
to talk about the comprehensive
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:22:27]
plan and basically two tranches.
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:22:29]
There is the required updates as
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:22:31]
part of the evaluation and appraisal
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:22:33]
process and then additional
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:22:35]
recommendations that start to address
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:22:37]
some of the the bigger picture
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:22:39]
questions that Lake County is going
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:22:41]
to be facing over the coming years.
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:22:43]
As Mike mentioned,
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:22:44]
the evaluation and appraisal
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:22:46]
process is a required state process.
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:22:48]
It happens every seven years.
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:22:50]
Not everyone is significant.
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:22:52]
Sometimes it's just kind of a box
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:22:55]
checking exercise to deal with changes
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:22:57]
that have happened in the Florida Statutes.
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:22:59]
But it always requires taking a
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:00]
a good look at the comprehensive
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:02]
plan and making sure that it's
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:04]
dealing with the issues that are
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:06]
current for the community today.
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:07]
And one other important point,
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:09]
the the letter which essentially
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:11]
said there are needed updates
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:13]
because the state requires certain
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:15]
updates was sent on May 1st.
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:17]
We are the county is required to
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:19]
make amendments to deal with those
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:21]
core updates within one year.
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:23]
And then there's the ability to make
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:25]
other updates to respond to local conditions.
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:28]
So currently the county has a population
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:31]
of a little over 400,000 by 2030
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:34]
that's anticipated to be just under
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:38]
480,000 and ultimately by 20 fifty 566,000.
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:42]
And of course not all of that is in
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:45]
the unincorporated area which the
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:46]
which the comp plan primarily governs,
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:49]
but about 1/3 of it is in
NOTE Confidence: 0.814419005454545
[1:23:51]
the unincorporated area.
NOTE Confidence: 0.959414073333333
[1:23:54]
So we took a little bit of a
NOTE Confidence: 0.959414073333333
[1:23:56]
snapshot of local conditions.
NOTE Confidence: 0.959414073333333
[1:23:57]
We know that economic development
NOTE Confidence: 0.959414073333333
[1:23:59]
is a concern for the county,
NOTE Confidence: 0.959414073333333
[1:24:00]
so we looked at the top industries
NOTE Confidence: 0.959414073333333
[1:24:02]
today which are healthcare,
NOTE Confidence: 0.959414073333333
[1:24:03]
social assistance,
NOTE Confidence: 0.959414073333333
[1:24:04]
retail, and food service.
NOTE Confidence: 0.959414073333333
[1:24:06]
One thing I want to key on in on
NOTE Confidence: 0.959414073333333
[1:24:08]
here is the median sales price
NOTE Confidence: 0.959414073333333
[1:24:09]
for single family homes. That's
NOTE Confidence: 0.91716635
[1:24:13]
$363,000. What does that actually mean?
NOTE Confidence: 0.91716635
[1:24:16]
For some people that might sound like a lot.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91716635
[1:24:18]
For some people it might not
NOTE Confidence: 0.91716635
[1:24:19]
sound like not that much.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91716635
[1:24:20]
But what it means from a practical
NOTE Confidence: 0.91716635
[1:24:22]
standpoint for the citizens of Lake
NOTE Confidence: 0.91716635
[1:24:23]
County is about 30% of homeowners
NOTE Confidence: 0.91716635
[1:24:25]
are considered cost burdened.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91716635
[1:24:27]
That means they spend more than
NOTE Confidence: 0.91716635
[1:24:28]
30% of their income on housing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91716635
[1:24:30]
When you start to look at renters,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91716635
[1:24:32]
it's even higher.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91716635
[1:24:33]
Over 50% of renters are
NOTE Confidence: 0.91716635
[1:24:34]
considered cost burden.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91716635
[1:24:35]
So Lake County is starting
NOTE Confidence: 0.91716635
[1:24:37]
to see the impacts of growth
NOTE Confidence: 0.91716635
[1:24:39]
in terms of housing cost.
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:24:43]
I mentioned there are state required
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:24:45]
amendments based on updates
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:24:46]
with with the florist statutes.
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:24:48]
Most of those are fairly straightforward.
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:24:49]
The Department of Health is going
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:24:51]
to be monitoring has is handing
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:24:53]
over the monitoring of septic
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:24:54]
tank systems to the Department of
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:24:56]
Environmental Protection and that
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:24:57]
requires changes to several elements.
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:00]
There's also amendments required
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:02]
because the county is trying to enable
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:06]
solar facilities both in agricultural
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:08]
areas as well as floating solar.
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:11]
So the amendments you see on this slide
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:13]
are also dealing again with that septic
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:16]
tank change and those solar facilities
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:19]
as well as other updates to definitions.
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:20]
And I, I should note I'm going to
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:22]
be moving pretty quickly here.
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:23]
You have the full report in your packet
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:24]
if you want to review that in detail as
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:26]
well as the slide deck available to you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:28]
But I know you,
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:29]
you have a tight schedule.
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:30]
So we're going to keep to that
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:32]
at least on my end.
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:33]
So we did a review of every single
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:35]
element of the comprehensive plan,
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:37]
which I'm going to go through pretty quickly.
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:39]
And then we go are going to rewind a
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:41]
little bit and focus on the future
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:42]
land use element in particular,
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:44]
because that's one of the the biggest
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:46]
elements in terms of the discussion
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:48]
with the community about what growth
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:50]
is going to look like going forward.
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:52]
So ultimately we heard,
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:53]
we heard today about the the importance
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:56]
of maintaining rural character
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:57]
and that of course is balanced by
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:25:59]
where's the growth going to go if
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:01]
we're maintaining these rural areas.
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:03]
So the the flip side of that is
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:06]
encouraging info and redevelopment,
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:07]
whether it be within the cities or
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:10]
within areas of unincorporated Lake County.
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:13]
And then there's also some practical
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:15]
updates in terms of organization.
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:17]
We heard mentioned earlier that there's
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:18]
some inconsistencies in the comp plan,
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:20]
Certainly want to clear those up
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:22]
as well as inconsistencies between
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:25]
the comp plan and the code capital
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:27]
improvement elements.
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:28]
This is again some clean up tasks
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:31]
in terms of making sure we're
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:33]
removing redundancy,
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:34]
making sure we're up to
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:35]
date with other lists,
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:36]
including the prioritized list of projects
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:39]
and updating outdated references.
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:41]
The conservation element,
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:43]
we identified opportunities here.
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:44]
And again,
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:45]
there's there's more detail in your
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:47]
packet on how to strengthen and clarify
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:49]
some of those Environmental Protection
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:51]
standards to think about wetlands and
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:53]
their impact on the regional system,
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:55]
as well as making sure that all the
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:57]
important conservation areas are
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:26:59]
recognized within the comprehensive plan
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:27:02]
in terms of the economic development element.
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:27:05]
So historically Lake County was,
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:27:08]
was one of these communities that was
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:27:09]
considered to be more of a bedroom community.
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:27:11]
And we know that that's changing
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:27:13]
that there's an interest from this
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:27:15]
Commission and from the community
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:27:16]
to be a full service county,
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:27:18]
to have more of a jobs housing balance.
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:27:20]
And that's reflected in the
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:27:21]
economic action plan,
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:27:22]
which the comp plan should be
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:27:24]
updated to be consistent with.
NOTE Confidence: 0.869413364545455
[1:27:26]
And that means attracting more employers and
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:27:28]
and that workforce that will
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:27:30]
serve those those employers.
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:27:32]
And with workers also comes housing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:27:35]
So switching to the housing element,
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:27:38]
we talked a little bit earlier about
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:27:40]
how housing attainability is starting
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:27:42]
to become an issue in Lake County and
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:27:44]
if economic development is successful
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:27:46]
that will become more of an issue.
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:27:48]
So moving forward thinking about how
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:27:51]
to diversify the county's housing
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:27:53]
stop then stock becomes important
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:27:56]
again from a clean up standpoint,
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:27:58]
streamlining the cross references and
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:00]
the inter governmental coordination
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:01]
element as well as updating that to be
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:04]
consistent with the the water supply
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:05]
plan which is being currently updated
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:07]
and coordinated with regional efforts.
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:09]
Parks and Recreation,
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:11]
we identified opportunities here to
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:13]
really create measurable goals that we
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:16]
can look to identify the performance
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:19]
of that system as well as aligning with
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:22]
budgeting and funding opportunities.
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:24]
Transportation, as we know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:25]
is always very closely aligned with growth.
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:28]
And our entire region is thinking much
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:30]
more seriously about how to be holistic
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:33]
in that approach to transportation
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:34]
and think not just about how people
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:36]
travel via personal motor vehicle,
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:38]
but also how people are traveling when
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:40]
they're outside of a motor vehicle,
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:42]
whether walking, biking,
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:43]
taking public transit,
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:44]
as well as we know that industrial
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:46]
is significant in Lake County.
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:47]
And so how freight movement happens
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:49]
is an important part of that
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:51]
transportation element.
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:52]
So making sure that there's connectivity
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:54]
for all modes as growth happens to
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:28:56]
keep people's access and mobility
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:29:00]
good and to improve quality of life.
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:29:04]
Public facilities element,
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:29:05]
we're getting close to the end
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:29:07]
here of this section.
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:29:08]
Again,
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:29:08]
this is a lot of opportunities for clean up.
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:29:11]
One thing that I, I,
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:29:13]
we didn't touch on earlier is that,
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:29:15]
and this is true of several elements,
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:29:16]
that there's language that really
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:29:18]
would be best served by being in
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:29:20]
the land development code that
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:29:21]
right now sits in the comp plan.
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:29:23]
So that's a clean up opportunity
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:29:24]
throughout the comp plan to make sure
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:29:26]
that those things that are really
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:29:28]
specific standards that are more
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:29:29]
typically found in a code move out of
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:29:31]
the comp plan into the code and that
NOTE Confidence: 0.894786996666667
[1:29:33]
the comp plan is a policy level document.
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:29:37]
So that's our view of the elements.
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:29:38]
Again, more detail in the
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:29:40]
packet on each one of those.
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:29:42]
One of the requirements of the state
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:29:43]
is to look at the comprehensive
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:29:45]
plan to look at the future land use
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:29:48]
map and determine whether it can
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:29:49]
accommodate the growth that's expected.
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:29:51]
We went over those Bieber numbers earlier
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:29:53]
in terms of what level of growth is
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:29:56]
expected in in population, the county.
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:29:58]
We also did a kind of quick analysis.
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:30:00]
A more detailed analysis would appropriately
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:30:02]
be part of the actual comp plan update,
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:30:04]
but we did a quick analysis to just
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:30:06]
kind of get a sense of whether or not
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:30:08]
the current comp plan creates that
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:30:09]
opportunity to to accommodate growth.
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:30:12]
So by the numbers, essentially it does.
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:30:15]
There is theoretically enough
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:30:16]
love capacity in the comp plan to
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:30:19]
accommodate the growth that's expected.
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:30:21]
There's still a need to look and make
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:30:23]
sure that that growth is still where
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:30:25]
the community wants to see it happen,
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:30:27]
where it's meeting the community's
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:30:28]
values and that it's designed in such
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:30:30]
a way that it it improves the quality
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:30:32]
of life within the county going forward
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:30:35]
rather than denigrating the quality
NOTE Confidence: 0.872875422857143
[1:30:36]
of life that the citizens now enjoy.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8471942025
[1:30:41]
So with that, I said I'm going to
NOTE Confidence: 0.8471942025
[1:30:42]
delve a little bit more into that
NOTE Confidence: 0.8471942025
[1:30:44]
future land use element piece.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8471942025
[1:30:46]
So we started out this process by
NOTE Confidence: 0.8471942025
[1:30:47]
taking what we call a synoptic Dr.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8471942025
[1:30:49]
of the county.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8471942025
[1:30:50]
This is really looking at character
NOTE Confidence: 0.8471942025
[1:30:52]
and we know the county has a
NOTE Confidence: 0.8471942025
[1:30:54]
really diverse character from
NOTE Confidence: 0.8471942025
[1:30:56]
small towns to rural areas and
NOTE Confidence: 0.8471942025
[1:30:59]
rapidly growing suburban areas.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8471942025
[1:31:02]
And just a few samples of what what
NOTE Confidence: 0.8471942025
[1:31:05]
that looks like from our perspective.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8471942025
[1:31:07]
Some of these beautiful rural
NOTE Confidence: 0.8471942025
[1:31:08]
areas that people were talking
NOTE Confidence: 0.8471942025
[1:31:10]
about earlier and those views,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8471942025
[1:31:12]
as well as some great little small
NOTE Confidence: 0.8471942025
[1:31:14]
towns like the one we sit in today.
NOTE Confidence: 0.852222605
[1:31:19]
So as we talk about growth,
NOTE Confidence: 0.852222605
[1:31:21]
one of the tools we use is this idea,
NOTE Confidence: 0.852222605
[1:31:23]
economic idea of favored quarters and
NOTE Confidence: 0.852222605
[1:31:26]
it starts to tell us why Lake County
NOTE Confidence: 0.852222605
[1:31:28]
is starting to see an uptick in growth.
NOTE Confidence: 0.852222605
[1:31:30]
Now, of course, the growth started in
NOTE Confidence: 0.852222605
[1:31:33]
what's the regional core in Orange County,
NOTE Confidence: 0.852222605
[1:31:35]
kind of followed I4 N into Seminole County,
NOTE Confidence: 0.852222605
[1:31:38]
then went started to go
NOTE Confidence: 0.852222605
[1:31:39]
South into Osceola County.
NOTE Confidence: 0.852222605
[1:31:40]
And as those areas get higher priced
NOTE Confidence: 0.852222605
[1:31:43]
and see less and less available land,
NOTE Confidence: 0.852222605
[1:31:46]
we're seeing more of a push into Lake
NOTE Confidence: 0.852222605
[1:31:48]
County's quadrant here to the West.
NOTE Confidence: 0.93414343
[1:31:53]
So as we look at the county,
NOTE Confidence: 0.93414343
[1:31:54]
we see again that diversity and
NOTE Confidence: 0.93414343
[1:31:57]
we've tried to visualize that by
NOTE Confidence: 0.93414343
[1:32:00]
looking at four different sectors.
NOTE Confidence: 0.93414343
[1:32:01]
There's the more natural and rural sectors
NOTE Confidence: 0.93414343
[1:32:03]
on the North and South end with the Green
NOTE Confidence: 0.93414343
[1:32:06]
Swamp and the Wekiva protection area.
NOTE Confidence: 0.93414343
[1:32:08]
There's those areas that are
NOTE Confidence: 0.93414343
[1:32:10]
adjacent to the Turnpike,
NOTE Confidence: 0.93414343
[1:32:12]
which we're calling the
NOTE Confidence: 0.93414343
[1:32:13]
economic development sector.
NOTE Confidence: 0.93414343
[1:32:14]
And then finally the lake sector,
NOTE Confidence: 0.93414343
[1:32:16]
which again is where we are today,
NOTE Confidence: 0.93414343
[1:32:18]
where you see the all of the small
NOTE Confidence: 0.93414343
[1:32:20]
towns and historic communities
NOTE Confidence: 0.93414343
[1:32:22]
that are that historically were
NOTE Confidence: 0.93414343
[1:32:23]
more urban within Lake County at
NOTE Confidence: 0.93414343
[1:32:25]
the time that they were built.
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:32:28]
We had the opportunity to sit down with
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:32:31]
each of the commissioners and talk about
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:32:33]
what you see going forward in terms of
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:32:36]
key issues and concerns for the county.
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:32:38]
And when we after we came out of those
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:32:40]
meetings, we we came up with four key
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:32:42]
issues that we saw as being kind of
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:32:44]
a consensus among most of the group.
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:32:46]
Those were preserving and maintaining
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:32:48]
role character, protecting and
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:32:50]
sensitive environmental lands,
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:32:51]
promoting economic development and growth,
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:32:53]
and supporting attainable housing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:32:54]
And I'm going to talk briefly about each of
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:32:57]
those and some of the strategies that we
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:32:59]
might use going forward to address those.
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:01]
So of course, when we talk about
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:03]
maintaining rural character,
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:04]
one of the strategies is to preserve
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:06]
and conserve land through all the
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:08]
means that are available to the county
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:10]
and to the citizens of the county.
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:11]
As we talked about earlier,
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:13]
that's there's also balancing that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:14]
One of the ways to protect the rural
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:16]
areas is to be very clear on where
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:18]
growth is encouraged and to continue
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:20]
to encourage it in those areas,
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:22]
the county, where it's appropriate.
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:24]
But there's also ways to look at
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:26]
those rural areas and say if growth
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:28]
is going to happen,
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:28]
how do we assure that it is consistent
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:30]
with the character and maintain some
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:32]
of the things that people like through
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:34]
things like rural design guidelines.
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:35]
We also know that you've recently
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:38]
passed the Conservation Subdivision
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:40]
ordinance and there's probably more
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:41]
opportunities to look at the strategies
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:44]
like that that would help to create
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:46]
any development that does happen in
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:48]
or near the rural areas to be continue
NOTE Confidence: 0.930724516
[1:33:50]
that character that people enjoy
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:33:54]
preserving environmental areas.
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:33:55]
We know that one of the main strategies
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:33:57]
the county is using now to do this is the
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:00]
transfer of development rights program.
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:02]
Transfer of development rights
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:04]
programs are around the country.
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:06]
They there you find them,
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:08]
they can be pretty difficult.
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:09]
And we know that right now Stetson
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:12]
and the Regional Planning Council is
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:14]
evaluating your TDR program to make sure
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:16]
that it's working as well as it can.
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:19]
From looking at our recommendations,
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:21]
one of our recommendations
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:21]
was to think about,
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:22]
particularly on larger properties,
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:24]
the ability to consolidate those rights
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:26]
within a larger property is a lot easier
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:29]
to do than when you start having to
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:31]
do trading between different property owners.
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:33]
So that's just,
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:34]
that's just a reality.
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:35]
Now both can work and we want to
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:38]
encourage wherever it's possible to,
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:39]
to support those preservation goals,
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:41]
but recognizing that some of the paths are
NOTE Confidence: 0.867937772692308
[1:34:43]
going to be more difficult than others.
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:34:47]
We mentioned that economic development
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:34:48]
sector. We also know that the county has
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:34:51]
significant efforts like the Wellness Way
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:34:52]
and the Wolf Branch Innovation District to
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:34:54]
start to support economic development and
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:34:56]
bring those jobs into the county. Again,
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:34:59]
looking at some some of the national models,
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:02]
we introduced this concept of economic
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:05]
development course and recognizing
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:06]
where those could be within the county.
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:08]
Essentially what that is,
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:10]
is looking at is where really robust
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:12]
job centers can be and a lot of times
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:15]
they're found around interchanges.
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:17]
Those interchanges can typically support
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:18]
in the area of 25,000 to 30,000 jobs.
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:23]
And then once you hit that,
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:24]
typically they'll start to move
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:25]
up the road to a different center.
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:27]
So that's what we're looking at
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:29]
here and starting to identify where
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:32]
those things might be happening.
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:33]
And in fact we know that the Mineola
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:35]
Interchange is a place that already
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:37]
has a lot of entitled development
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:39]
including over 3,000,000 square
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:40]
feet of non residential development.
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:42]
Significant amount of the residential
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:44]
development that's happening there is
NOTE Confidence: 0.898389021666667
[1:35:45]
still in the form of single family.
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:35:49]
And all of that starts to get
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:35:51]
Lake County closer to having
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:35:52]
more of a jobs housing balance.
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:35:54]
And we know in fact there's a jobs housing
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:35:57]
balance requirement within Wellness way.
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:00]
So finally, our last key issue
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:02]
being attainable housing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:03]
Again, if you have those jobs,
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:04]
we need to make sure that there's enough
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:06]
housing within the county to accommodate
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:07]
the the people that come with them.
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:09]
Certainly some of those people
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:10]
will already live here,
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:11]
but some of them won't.
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:13]
Historically, Lake County has been more
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:15]
of a a single family driven community.
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:17]
And we know that people value that lifestyle.
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:19]
But as we see more people moving in,
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:23]
the more low,
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:24]
the lower density those people are living at,
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:27]
the more of the land within the
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:28]
county that's going to impact.
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:30]
And there also creates affordability
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:32]
issues if the only options are the
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:35]
single family are the larger lot homes.
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:37]
So we we identified the need to
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:41]
explore different sizes of housing,
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:44]
different types of housing that would
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:46]
start to diversify that obviously the the
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:49]
first go to for if it's not single family,
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:51]
then it's apartment buildings.
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:53]
But the reality is there's a lot of other
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:56]
options in between a 250 to 300 unit
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:36:59]
apartment complex and a single family home.
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:01]
And exploring what those options might
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:03]
be and how the county can enable those
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:05]
to happen while keeping more of a fine
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:07]
grained community character is one
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:08]
opportunity to look at as this new
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:11]
comprehensive plan update comes along.
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:13]
So just to wrap up,
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:15]
this is a an area that is going
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:18]
to evolve pretty quickly because
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:20]
it's going to see more of a wave
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:22]
of growth coming this direction.
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:23]
And as such,
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:24]
it's a great time to be looking at
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:26]
the comprehensive plan and making
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:27]
sure that it's guided by a powerful
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:29]
vision for what the future of
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:30]
the community could look like.
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:32]
We think that this sector based
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:34]
approach is part of that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:36]
There's also practical needs to
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:38]
update inconsistencies both within
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:39]
the comprehensive plan and between
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:41]
the comp plan and the LDC and address
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:44]
some of those functional concerns.
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:45]
But ultimately,
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:46]
as the county starts to have
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:48]
more robust job base,
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:49]
thinking about how both preservation
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:51]
will happen of the rural and the
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:53]
environmentally sensitive areas
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:54]
and how that will be balanced with
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:56]
having attainable housing for
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:37:57]
the people that live here and the
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:38:00]
people that serve businesses here
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:38:01]
is going to become really important.
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:38:03]
One other thing, I call this the fun thing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:38:06]
We've,
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:38:07]
we call this A50 year opportunity because it,
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:38:09]
it's, it's a hard thing to do.
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:38:10]
But I know there's been talk that
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:38:13]
I've been party to for at least over
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:38:15]
a decade about trying to create a
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:38:18]
connection into Orange County via the
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:38:20]
existing rail connection that exists
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:38:23]
all the way almost to Umatilla through
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:38:25]
to varies and down into Orlando.
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:38:27]
So we took a little bit of time
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:38:29]
to to talk to some of our rail
NOTE Confidence: 0.969841141666667
[1:38:32]
experts about what that
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:38:34]
might look like and how,
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:38:35]
what would be required to to attain
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:38:38]
federal funding for an effort like that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:38:40]
But it's a, it's a real opportunity
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:38:43]
for the long term that's important
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:38:45]
and potentially impacting, of course,
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:38:47]
the cities that it goes through,
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:38:49]
but also unincorporated
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:38:49]
areas within the county.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:38:51]
And what would that look like?
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:38:54]
So to wrap up here, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:38:56]
so far what we've done is
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:38:57]
meet the state requirements.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:38:59]
We've also done an evaluation of
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:01]
the existing comprehensive plan
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:02]
in some in in some level of detail
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:05]
to identify what the needs would
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:07]
be for a more robust comprehensive
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:09]
plan update going forward.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:11]
The recommended next steps would be
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:14]
to really have a community engaged
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:16]
county wide vision that can start to
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:18]
guide those comprehensive plan updates
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:20]
and ultimately those roll down into
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:22]
a land development code updates.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:25]
And with that, I defer to the chair
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:28]
on questions or or next steps.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:30]
OK, any questions?
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:32]
Commissioner Parks,
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:34]
thank you for the presentation.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:35]
Maybe just a couple of questions and
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:38]
a comment the if you can go back you
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:40]
started to touch on I think with
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:41]
like a total number of entitlements.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:43]
I don't remember which slide that was,
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:44]
but we'd,
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:45]
we'd ask this question on the board.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:48]
I don't know, maybe over a year ago it came,
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:50]
I think it came up during the
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:52]
joint planning agreement meetings.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:54]
What and I'm not sure I we have
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:56]
ever gotten that number.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:39:58]
What is the total entitlement
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:00]
cities included for Lake County?
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:02]
Because you know the and it could
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:04]
go to my point.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:05]
My comment would be.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:07]
Preferably I like to focus on
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:09]
redevelopment and infill.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:11]
So what is what is that number?
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:13]
That's a good number for everybody
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:14]
to have as a good starting point
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:16]
as we go into the visioning.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:17]
Sure.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:17]
So these the slide that I have up now
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:20]
is the the numbers that we calculated,
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:22]
we estimated there's a capacity of
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:24]
a little over 80,000 dwelling units
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:27]
and that's just in the unincorporated area.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:29]
So it gets to be a much more
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:30]
complicated effort when you start
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:32]
to include the cities because you
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:33]
have to deal with 13 different comp
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:34]
plans and and all of those entitlements.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:36]
But essentially what that means is
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:39]
that the county could theoretically
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:41]
accommodate all of the growth that's
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:44]
expected through the Bieber 2045
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:47]
projection just in the unincorporated area.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:49]
Now I don't know that that's going
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:51]
to have an outcome that everyone
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:53]
is comfortable with in terms of
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:55]
how that would look and function,
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:40:58]
but it's theoretically possible.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:41:01]
Yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:41:01]
But the cities I think is going
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:41:02]
to be important too to get that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:41:04]
And I know a couple of the cities
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:41:05]
I think have provided that data,
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:41:07]
but I,
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:41:08]
I think that'll be important to go
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:41:10]
and going into visioning for us for
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:41:12]
the comp plan is what is the total and,
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:41:15]
and have you drilled down to some
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:41:16]
of some of those are not realistic,
NOTE Confidence: 0.9432342864
[1:41:19]
You know, the site suitability,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:21]
they might all be wetlands
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:22]
deep in a floodplain.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:23]
Did you do some of that?
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:24]
We did some basic, I believe,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:27]
let me just Nathan unit we took out,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:28]
I believe we took out wetlands.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:30]
So we would typically do that,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:30]
but it's, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:31]
at a regional scale.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:32]
We also know that that assumes
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:33]
everyone maxes out their entitlements.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:35]
And very often developers actually don't Max
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:37]
out their entitlements in certain areas,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:39]
particularly where those
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:40]
entitlements are higher.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:41]
So this is what I would definitely call
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:43]
this a quick and dirty analysis and a
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:45]
deeper analysis would be appropriate.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:47]
But it starts to give us a sense that
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:50]
we don't have a big problem in terms
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:52]
of satisfying the state requirements.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:54]
Yeah, there's so there's you're it's
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:56]
showing just from this rough cut
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:58]
that there's plenty of capacity.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:41:59]
I mean it also might help with
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:42:01]
when we go into the TDR program,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:42:03]
I think the intent is find something
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:42:05]
that's feasible that we're comfortable with.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:42:08]
I was point this out,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:42:09]
it's voluntary,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:42:09]
but it and respects free market.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:42:12]
But I think that for that to work,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:42:14]
we have to know the we have to know
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:42:16]
the total entitlements because that's
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:42:19]
how you're going to move the density
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:42:20]
around and get it out of the areas.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:42:22]
Some of those sectors that you defined
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:42:24]
into the if this is just my vision,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:42:27]
you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:42:27]
if it,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:42:27]
if we were going to focus on
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:42:29]
the redevelopment in the infill,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:42:30]
that's going to be a critical
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:42:31]
component to it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:42:32]
So I think that data would be,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:42:33]
it's going to be pretty important
NOTE Confidence: 0.92512798
[1:42:35]
to get it specific.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:42:38]
I think that's it for now.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:42:39]
But I appreciate the work
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:42:41]
and I this is just the year.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:42:43]
So the next step is the visioning
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:42:45]
and then afterwards we've had some
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:42:48]
discussion with this on the board,
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:42:50]
but I would I'm really interested
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:42:52]
in a in a sort of our own hybrid
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:42:55]
version of form based codes.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:42:57]
But you do have to do the
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:42:58]
visioning for that first.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:42:59]
I understand that completely,
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:01]
but but I would like to see that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:04]
I know that you didn't put any,
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:05]
I don't know if you could put that
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:06]
timeline up, but there's no dates on that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:10]
So I mean,
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:11]
I'm I'm one that would you were going to ask.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:14]
OK, yeah, yeah, yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:16]
Because I'd like to do it sooner than later.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:18]
I mean, I hear years of I hear like 2028.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:21]
That's just for me,
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:22]
that's just way out there.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:23]
I don't know if I could be getting
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:24]
that wrong or misinterpreting that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:25]
But that is that's extremely important
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:27]
for us now because I think some
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:29]
of us had questions about the comp
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:31]
plan and it is time to change it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:32]
And then if we are going to
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:34]
do form based codes,
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:35]
it has to you have to base it off a vision.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:37]
So I know there's no dates.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:39]
That's pretty smart on your
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:41]
part not to put them on there,
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:43]
but that's not in our scope.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:45]
So yeah, yeah, exactly. That's true.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:47]
County's discretion. Yeah, OK.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:48]
Well, even even smarter.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:51]
So that's that's the big question
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:53]
mark is how can we do this sooner
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:55]
than later to to to get that done?
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:58]
Because what were we the fat?
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:43:59]
We're the fastest.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:44:00]
We had the highest,
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:44:01]
fastest growth this past past year from
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:44:04]
from growth of just new development.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:44:07]
So it's not it,
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:44:08]
it it's the next year is probably going
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:44:09]
to be the same way here in Lake County.
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:44:11]
So I think the sooner that
NOTE Confidence: 0.925215861666667
[1:44:12]
we address this the better.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:44:16]
Just a follow up on that question
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:44:19]
about entitlements in relation to what
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:44:25]
Stetson and the East the regional
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:44:28]
planning agency are working on.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:44:29]
Are they not diving into that question and
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:44:33]
actually trying to look in order to determine
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:44:36]
feasibility for TDRS in Lake County?
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:44:39]
I thought that would be something
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:44:41]
that they would have to to do.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:44:43]
Yeah, I don't, I don't know. I know.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:44:45]
I just know that we asked for it at that
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:44:48]
meeting and I think part of it was with
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:44:50]
the joint planning agreement process.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:44:52]
Another question I had was,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:44:53]
I was going to bring it up in my comments,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:44:55]
but what is the status of the joint planning
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:44:58]
agreements with some of these cities?
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:00]
But I, I, I, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:01]
it just seems like, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:02]
that needs to be, you can't,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:05]
we, we can't make a decision or
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:07]
formulate a policy about it unless
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:08]
we know if it's feasible, right?
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:10]
You can't figure out if it's feasible
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:12]
if you don't really look at what
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:14]
entitlements are out there and
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:15]
how you might be able to actually
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:17]
create some sort of a banking system
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:21]
to move densities around.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:23]
I mean, I, I like the concept.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:25]
It's just,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:26]
I've always been skeptical that
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:28]
it's that it's doable or practical,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:29]
but but I like the concept.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:32]
It is intriguing though,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:33]
that if you just looked at our
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:35]
urban land uses and that's really
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:36]
what you were looking at,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:37]
is the urban land uses in
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:39]
the unincorporated area,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:40]
that we could actually keep up with
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:42]
the projected population growth
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:44]
just in the unincorporated area.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:46]
In the unincorporated area, yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:47]
Which is crazy.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:49]
I mean, because, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:51]
most of the growth should be
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:53]
happening in the in the cities.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:56]
So I think this gives us a little
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:45:58]
snapshot of some real opportunities
NOTE Confidence: 0.8584433125
[1:46:00]
we have to work on things that
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:06]
in coordination with the cities.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:07]
And again, that's going to
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:08]
be the key in a lot of ways.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:11]
And I know you've been trying to
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:12]
do that with the JP as I just, I,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:14]
I feel like if we're going to go in
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:16]
the direction of maybe looking at form
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:18]
based code or hybrid in the county,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:20]
then it's going to be critical
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:22]
that we have that conversation
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:23]
with the cities because that would
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:26]
seem to make the most sense.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:27]
And like we actually target the areas
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:29]
where growth makes the most sense and try
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:32]
to shift it away from the places where we're,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:35]
we're trying to and the community is
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:37]
wanting to see more of a rural feel.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:40]
And it doesn't mean that those properties
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:42]
in those rural areas aren't going to be very,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:44]
very valuable people for people, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:47]
without selling to a development company,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:50]
they become that much more desirable
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:53]
if you're looking for that rural,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:57]
you know, character to live in.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:46:58]
So I think, you know, what happens
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:47:01]
is a lot of times with the cities,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:47:02]
the developers come in and they basically
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:47:04]
say, this is the only way you can do it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:47:06]
This is the only way you can
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:47:07]
make this development happen.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:47:07]
It's got to be this way.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:47:09]
And I think we have to keep
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:47:11]
that discussion going that no,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:47:13]
that's not the only way.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:47:15]
It doesn't have to be,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:47:18]
you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:47:19]
especially in these fringe areas,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:47:20]
in the areas that you get outside of
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:47:23]
the urban the the incorporated areas,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:47:25]
that doesn't have to be that way
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:47:27]
that we have to go in that direction
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:47:29]
because we've got enough inventory
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:47:31]
if we stay inside the municipalities.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:47:33]
Yeah, I agree.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8256324
[1:47:34]
Yeah,
NOTE Confidence: 0.94726236875
[1:47:38]
OK. I just have a couple of questions.
NOTE Confidence: 0.94726236875
[1:47:41]
According to your slides here,
NOTE Confidence: 0.94726236875
[1:47:42]
we currently have 414,000
NOTE Confidence: 0.94726236875
[1:47:45]
people in Lake County.
NOTE Confidence: 0.94726236875
[1:47:47]
The projection in 21 years is another
NOTE Confidence: 0.94726236875
[1:47:51]
158,000 for a total population of 672,000.
NOTE Confidence: 0.94726236875
[1:47:55]
Is that right?
NOTE Confidence: 0.94726236875
[1:47:58]
I will go to the number slide rather
NOTE Confidence: 0.94726236875
[1:48:00]
than working from memory here. Quick
NOTE Confidence: 0.6361332
[1:48:06]
math,
NOTE Confidence: 0.864578071428571
[1:48:09]
there's an earlier slide,
NOTE Confidence: 0.864578071428571
[1:48:10]
I thought that well the bears meeting
NOTE Confidence: 0.864578071428571
[1:48:13]
and projection report is 158,000.
NOTE Confidence: 0.864578071428571
[1:48:15]
So that and you will see a
NOTE Confidence: 0.864578071428571
[1:48:17]
difference of 11 place we have
NOTE Confidence: 0.864578071428571
[1:48:20]
2045 and one place we have 2050.
NOTE Confidence: 0.821469293529412
[1:48:27]
So that's the difference you see
NOTE Confidence: 0.821469293529412
[1:48:29]
between the the later slide in
NOTE Confidence: 0.821469293529412
[1:48:30]
this slide is five years, OK,
NOTE Confidence: 0.821469293529412
[1:48:34]
because the state requirement
NOTE Confidence: 0.821469293529412
[1:48:35]
is 2020 year horizon.
NOTE Confidence: 0.821469293529412
[1:48:37]
All right, thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.821469293529412
[1:48:39]
And can you move to your last slide please?
NOTE Confidence: 0.96002378
[1:48:48]
Are you telling me that the last
NOTE Confidence: 0.96002378
[1:48:51]
three bullets on here where it
NOTE Confidence: 0.96002378
[1:48:53]
says future is up to the county?
NOTE Confidence: 0.96002378
[1:48:55]
Yes, Sir. Mr. Fitzgerald,
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:49:09]
so we have been working on
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:49:11]
this for at least three years.
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:49:13]
You've been working on it for a
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:49:15]
year and a half or or a year about.
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:49:17]
Do you have an anticipated date
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:49:21]
for the county visioning as we
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:49:24]
enter the next fiscal year?
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:49:26]
We've budgeted for the
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:49:28]
comprehensive plan rewrite.
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:49:30]
Under normal circumstances,
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:49:31]
the visioning sessions are a part of
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:49:34]
an evaluation and appraisal report.
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:49:37]
Our evaluation appraisal report
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:49:39]
is compressed right up against
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:49:41]
our comprehensive plan rewrite.
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:49:44]
So the visioning sessions are
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:49:45]
going to take place as part of the
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:49:47]
comprehensive plan rewrite will hold
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:49:50]
host a multitude of of workshops for
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:49:54]
the public and for commissioners.
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:49:57]
We'll do that in each district and
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:49:59]
we will get a handle on where the
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:50:02]
citizens want to go in the next 20
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:50:05]
years and how this comp plan is written,
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:50:08]
how our LDC code is written,
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:50:11]
will it be form based code,
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:50:12]
will it be some hybrid including
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:50:15]
some Euclidian zoning.
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:50:17]
So we we are right at the forefront
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:50:19]
of that next bullet point and
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:50:22]
that will be taking place very
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:50:24]
shortly in this next fiscal year.
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:50:26]
OK, thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:50:29]
All right, any other questions?
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:50:31]
OK,
NOTE Confidence: 0.93021624
[1:50:32]
thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.951523512
[1:50:36]
Any questions from the audience,
NOTE Confidence: 0.951523512
[1:50:38]
Anybody online? Nobody online.
NOTE Confidence: 0.951523512
[1:50:41]
OK, moving on down to our
NOTE Confidence: 0.951523512
[1:50:44]
next presentation, Allison.
NOTE Confidence: 0.714011722
[1:50:53]
Good morning, commissioners.
NOTE Confidence: 0.714011722
[1:50:55]
Allison Teslia,
NOTE Confidence: 0.714011722
[1:50:55]
the Director of Management and Budget.
NOTE Confidence: 0.714011722
[1:50:58]
We're here today to present
NOTE Confidence: 0.714011722
[1:51:01]
the fire assessment study.
NOTE Confidence: 0.714011722
[1:51:03]
Here's a quick little outline
NOTE Confidence: 0.714011722
[1:51:05]
of the presentation and we'll go
NOTE Confidence: 0.714011722
[1:51:07]
over the background and purpose,
NOTE Confidence: 0.714011722
[1:51:08]
the technical study and then the next steps.
NOTE Confidence: 0.940832584615385
[1:51:13]
As you know, the fire assessment
NOTE Confidence: 0.940832584615385
[1:51:14]
is used to fund Fire Protection
NOTE Confidence: 0.940832584615385
[1:51:17]
services such as fire suppression,
NOTE Confidence: 0.940832584615385
[1:51:19]
prevention, building inspections and
NOTE Confidence: 0.940832584615385
[1:51:22]
first response medical services,
NOTE Confidence: 0.940832584615385
[1:51:24]
which are considered to be LS.
NOTE Confidence: 0.940832584615385
[1:51:26]
It cannot fund advanced life support
NOTE Confidence: 0.940832584615385
[1:51:29]
which is considered ALS services.
NOTE Confidence: 0.940832584615385
[1:51:32]
We've performed this study annually for
NOTE Confidence: 0.940832584615385
[1:51:34]
the last 20 plus years by a consultant.
NOTE Confidence: 0.940832584615385
[1:51:37]
It examines the utilization of fire
NOTE Confidence: 0.940832584615385
[1:51:39]
services and the land use categories
NOTE Confidence: 0.940832584615385
[1:51:42]
and the assessment rates are calculated
NOTE Confidence: 0.940832584615385
[1:51:45]
annually based on the allocation
NOTE Confidence: 0.940832584615385
[1:51:47]
of resources and the assessable
NOTE Confidence: 0.940832584615385
[1:51:48]
portion of the proposed budget.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7668515
[1:51:53]
OK. This year, Benesh was tasked
NOTE Confidence: 0.7668515
[1:51:55]
to provide the methodology options
NOTE Confidence: 0.7668515
[1:51:57]
and update the assessment rates.
NOTE Confidence: 0.934970981875
[1:52:02]
And we're here today to provide
NOTE Confidence: 0.934970981875
[1:52:04]
the board with the results
NOTE Confidence: 0.934970981875
[1:52:06]
of the fire assessment study.
NOTE Confidence: 0.934970981875
[1:52:08]
And I'm going to turn it
NOTE Confidence: 0.934970981875
[1:52:09]
over to Milgan from Bennish.
NOTE Confidence: 0.65274213875
[1:52:14]
Good morning, commissioners.
NOTE Confidence: 0.65274213875
[1:52:15]
I'm Megan Camp with Bennish.
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:52:21]
As you are. You know the calculation
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:52:24]
components include four items,
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:52:26]
the assessable budget,
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:52:27]
incident data, property units and
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:52:30]
finally the calculated rates.
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:52:33]
This year's assessment study
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:52:34]
included some changes to the
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:52:36]
methodology that the county
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:52:37]
has been using for a long time.
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:52:39]
So I'll go over them,
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:52:41]
but they are really affecting how
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:52:43]
we determine the ALS portion of the
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:52:46]
budget as well as how we distribute
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:52:48]
that budget among the land uses.
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:52:52]
So the current update includes
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:52:54]
incident data from the past 10 years,
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:52:57]
updated property units,
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:52:59]
and then starts with the requested
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:53:02]
budget for fiscal year 25,
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:53:04]
subtracts expenses related to ALS,
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:53:07]
Any dedicated revenues are
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:53:09]
subtracted and then the program
NOTE Confidence: 0.794408389090909
[1:53:11]
related expenses are added.
NOTE Confidence: 0.813911607857143
[1:53:15]
So historically, the Lake County's
NOTE Confidence: 0.813911607857143
[1:53:17]
program determined the ALS
NOTE Confidence: 0.813911607857143
[1:53:19]
budget based on incident data.
NOTE Confidence: 0.813911607857143
[1:53:22]
So if for example,
NOTE Confidence: 0.813911607857143
[1:53:23]
about 60% of or 40% of resources
NOTE Confidence: 0.813911607857143
[1:53:26]
were being used by ALS related
NOTE Confidence: 0.813911607857143
[1:53:28]
incidents that was subtracted.
NOTE Confidence: 0.813911607857143
[1:53:30]
This study looked at actual
NOTE Confidence: 0.813911607857143
[1:53:32]
costs related to ALS.
NOTE Confidence: 0.813911607857143
[1:53:34]
So we basically asked the fire department
NOTE Confidence: 0.813911607857143
[1:53:37]
if they stop providing ALS service,
NOTE Confidence: 0.813911607857143
[1:53:39]
what would the savings be?
NOTE Confidence: 0.813911607857143
[1:53:41]
They still need all the stations,
NOTE Confidence: 0.813911607857143
[1:53:43]
they still need all the most of
NOTE Confidence: 0.813911607857143
[1:53:45]
the equipment, most of the staff.
NOTE Confidence: 0.813911607857143
[1:53:47]
So they provided that estimate.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92967036
[1:53:53]
So then compared to the budget
NOTE Confidence: 0.92967036
[1:53:56]
that's basis of the current rates,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92967036
[1:53:58]
the requested budget is increasing about 30%,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92967036
[1:54:02]
but assessable budget is increasing 90%.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92967036
[1:54:04]
That's just because we are able to
NOTE Confidence: 0.92967036
[1:54:07]
capture a larger portion of the budget
NOTE Confidence: 0.92967036
[1:54:09]
under the assessable calculations
NOTE Confidence: 0.92967036
[1:54:11]
like basically we are subtracting
NOTE Confidence: 0.92967036
[1:54:13]
only the purely ALS related expenses
NOTE Confidence: 0.91370306
[1:54:19]
and that in turn gives the county
NOTE Confidence: 0.91370306
[1:54:22]
the ability to reduce the MSTU rates.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91370306
[1:54:25]
So that's the change.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91370306
[1:54:27]
And then resource allocation is
NOTE Confidence: 0.91370306
[1:54:29]
basically looking at again the
NOTE Confidence: 0.91370306
[1:54:32]
incidents over the past 10 years,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91370306
[1:54:34]
number of incidents by residential land uses,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91370306
[1:54:37]
how long those incidents were
NOTE Confidence: 0.91370306
[1:54:39]
and how many vehicles and staff
NOTE Confidence: 0.91370306
[1:54:41]
were used for each incident.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91370306
[1:54:43]
So we are really looking at total
NOTE Confidence: 0.91370306
[1:54:45]
resources needed for each incident.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91370306
[1:54:48]
And you can see that the
NOTE Confidence: 0.91370306
[1:54:50]
distribution is relatively stable.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91370306
[1:54:52]
There's a increase in
NOTE Confidence: 0.91370306
[1:54:54]
institutional from 10% to 11%,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91370306
[1:54:57]
but that one percentage
NOTE Confidence: 0.91370306
[1:54:59]
ends up being about 10%.
NOTE Confidence: 0.897066026923077
[1:55:04]
And then the other thing I want to
NOTE Confidence: 0.897066026923077
[1:55:06]
point out here is that's going to
NOTE Confidence: 0.897066026923077
[1:55:08]
become more important later when we
NOTE Confidence: 0.897066026923077
[1:55:10]
get into our revised distribution.
NOTE Confidence: 0.897066026923077
[1:55:12]
Industrial warehouse is only .8%.
NOTE Confidence: 0.897066026923077
[1:55:15]
As you can see, commercials about 5%,
NOTE Confidence: 0.897066026923077
[1:55:17]
institutions about 11% of the resources.
NOTE Confidence: 0.897066026923077
[1:55:20]
That's something to keep in mind.
NOTE Confidence: 0.754170471111111
[1:55:23]
We then take the accessible budget and
NOTE Confidence: 0.754170471111111
[1:55:25]
distribute them online users using those
NOTE Confidence: 0.754170471111111
[1:55:27]
percentages as our starting point.
NOTE Confidence: 0.754170471111111
[1:55:29]
And again, the total accessible
NOTE Confidence: 0.754170471111111
[1:55:31]
budget increase about 90%.
NOTE Confidence: 0.754170471111111
[1:55:33]
Anything different from that is
NOTE Confidence: 0.754170471111111
[1:55:35]
because of the resource allocation
NOTE Confidence: 0.754170471111111
[1:55:36]
changes in the resource allocation.
NOTE Confidence: 0.851743090666667
[1:55:41]
Finally, we update the property units
NOTE Confidence: 0.851743090666667
[1:55:43]
and again you can see there are some
NOTE Confidence: 0.851743090666667
[1:55:46]
minor increases as a percentage and
NOTE Confidence: 0.851743090666667
[1:55:48]
now some decrease in the case of
NOTE Confidence: 0.851743090666667
[1:55:50]
vacant land as it gets developed.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9265161965
[1:55:54]
So the residential, hotel,
NOTE Confidence: 0.9265161965
[1:55:56]
motel and vacant land are determined
NOTE Confidence: 0.9265161965
[1:55:58]
by basically taking the portion
NOTE Confidence: 0.9265161965
[1:56:00]
of the budget assigned to those
NOTE Confidence: 0.9265161965
[1:56:03]
land uses and dividing by units.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9265161965
[1:56:05]
So residential would increase
NOTE Confidence: 0.9265161965
[1:56:08]
from $225 per unit to 415,
NOTE Confidence: 0.9265161965
[1:56:11]
hotel motel from 65 to 124
NOTE Confidence: 0.9265161965
[1:56:14]
and they can land 68 to 140.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9265161965
[1:56:17]
And it's really mostly driven
NOTE Confidence: 0.9265161965
[1:56:19]
by the budget increase.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9265161965
[1:56:21]
These changes
NOTE Confidence: 0.892190916666667
[1:56:24]
in the case of non residential,
NOTE Confidence: 0.892190916666667
[1:56:26]
we use the two tier system and
NOTE Confidence: 0.892190916666667
[1:56:29]
we wanted to recognize that
NOTE Confidence: 0.892190916666667
[1:56:30]
even if a property doesn't use,
NOTE Confidence: 0.857094867272727
[1:56:35]
doesn't use the fire department
NOTE Confidence: 0.857094867272727
[1:56:37]
services that never makes a call,
NOTE Confidence: 0.857094867272727
[1:56:39]
it still benefits from the availability
NOTE Confidence: 0.857094867272727
[1:56:41]
of the fire department and that's
NOTE Confidence: 0.857094867272727
[1:56:44]
through the insurance premiums,
NOTE Confidence: 0.857094867272727
[1:56:45]
property values, availability
NOTE Confidence: 0.857094867272727
[1:56:47]
of safety options and so forth.
NOTE Confidence: 0.857094867272727
[1:56:51]
And so we allocated 70% of the
NOTE Confidence: 0.857094867272727
[1:56:53]
budget equally among total all,
NOTE Confidence: 0.857094867272727
[1:56:55]
all of the non residential square footage
NOTE Confidence: 0.857094867272727
[1:56:58]
and 30% based on their actual use of it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.857094867272727
[1:57:02]
And the 30 and 70 are determined
NOTE Confidence: 0.857094867272727
[1:57:04]
based off industry research that
NOTE Confidence: 0.857094867272727
[1:57:06]
says that any station that's active
NOTE Confidence: 0.857094867272727
[1:57:08]
more than 30% of the time starts
NOTE Confidence: 0.857094867272727
[1:57:12]
experiencing inefficiencies, fatigue,
NOTE Confidence: 0.857094867272727
[1:57:14]
inability to address concurrent events,
NOTE Confidence: 0.857094867272727
[1:57:16]
lack of training and so forth.
NOTE Confidence: 0.857094867272727
[1:57:18]
And again when we say 30% of the time
NOTE Confidence: 0.857094867272727
[1:57:20]
they're of course operating 24 hours a day.
NOTE Confidence: 0.857094867272727
[1:57:22]
So,
NOTE Confidence: 0.936150872
[1:57:26]
so we take the 70% of the budget,
NOTE Confidence: 0.936150872
[1:57:29]
divide by the square footage.
NOTE Confidence: 0.936150872
[1:57:30]
So that generates the charge of about
NOTE Confidence: 0.936150872
[1:57:33]
$0.32 before each type of property
NOTE Confidence: 0.936150872
[1:57:36]
and then distribute remaining budget
NOTE Confidence: 0.936150872
[1:57:38]
based on their actual utilization
NOTE Confidence: 0.936150872
[1:57:41]
and then add those two components
NOTE Confidence: 0.936150872
[1:57:43]
to come up with the final rates.
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:57:47]
So here is like as you know your non
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:57:50]
residential schedule is tiered and
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:57:52]
this is just showing you some example
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:57:54]
tiers for 15,000 square foot facility.
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:57:57]
So commercial would increase from 3100 to
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:58:00]
5400 the son of per building charge and
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:58:03]
that's less than the budget increase of 90%.
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:58:07]
Industrial would increase about
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:58:09]
400 to 4000 and institutional would
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:58:13]
increase from 7900 to 8400.
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:58:16]
So basically what this methodology is doing,
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:58:20]
instead of using strictly utilization,
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:58:22]
where the industrial
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:58:24]
utilization was pretty small,
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:58:25]
but those properties were still
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:58:27]
benefiting from the availability
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:58:28]
of the fire department again
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:58:30]
through their insurance savings,
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:58:31]
property values and so forth.
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:58:33]
It's kind of creating a
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:58:35]
more balanced distribution.
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:58:37]
It's recognizing that benefit as well.
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:58:40]
So it's industrial is
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:58:42]
still the lowest category,
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:58:44]
but it's not as much lower
NOTE Confidence: 0.714774232
[1:58:47]
under this methodology.
NOTE Confidence: 0.803750844375
[1:58:51]
And this chart kind of shows all
NOTE Confidence: 0.803750844375
[1:58:53]
the rates with the examples on
NOTE Confidence: 0.803750844375
[1:58:56]
the non essential for comparison.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8753586
[1:59:01]
And then I think Allison will take over that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.73596321
[1:59:10]
And then as Milken noted before,
NOTE Confidence: 0.73596321
[1:59:13]
we're proposing a decrease in the MSTU.
NOTE Confidence: 0.73596321
[1:59:16]
The MSTU is what we used to fund the
NOTE Confidence: 0.73596321
[1:59:18]
ALS services that are provided by the
NOTE Confidence: 0.73596321
[1:59:22]
fire department and the portion that
NOTE Confidence: 0.73596321
[1:59:24]
cannot be funded by the fire assessment.
NOTE Confidence: 0.94034981
[1:59:29]
OK. And then the next steps
NOTE Confidence: 0.934843827272727
[1:59:34]
today you're considering the
NOTE Confidence: 0.934843827272727
[1:59:35]
interim fire assessment study
NOTE Confidence: 0.934843827272727
[1:59:37]
that was presented in July.
NOTE Confidence: 0.934843827272727
[1:59:39]
We will adopt the initial fire
NOTE Confidence: 0.934843827272727
[1:59:41]
assessment resolution with
NOTE Confidence: 0.934843827272727
[1:59:43]
the updated assessment rates.
NOTE Confidence: 0.934843827272727
[1:59:44]
And then in September,
NOTE Confidence: 0.934843827272727
[1:59:45]
we'll hold our public hearings.
NOTE Confidence: 0.887299343529412
[1:59:49]
OK. So today's requested action
NOTE Confidence: 0.887299343529412
[1:59:51]
is to accept the fire assessment
NOTE Confidence: 0.887299343529412
[1:59:53]
study that was presented by Banesh.
NOTE Confidence: 0.887299343529412
[1:59:56]
OK, Commissioners,
NOTE Confidence: 0.85347901
[2:00:00]
this might be for future discussion,
NOTE Confidence: 0.85347901
[2:00:01]
but do we have the the net if you?
NOTE Confidence: 0.85347901
[2:00:05]
You know if you add both the rates
NOTE Confidence: 0.85347901
[2:00:07]
together, what the impact would be,
NOTE Confidence: 0.927090036
[2:00:11]
You're talking about the net
NOTE Confidence: 0.927090036
[2:00:12]
tax impact on an individual.
NOTE Confidence: 0.927090036
[2:00:14]
So if you looked at just one
NOTE Confidence: 0.927090036
[2:00:16]
example of a property with
NOTE Confidence: 0.927090036
[2:00:19]
about $150,000 assessable,
NOTE Confidence: 0.927090036
[2:00:21]
which is typically our average
NOTE Confidence: 0.927090036
[2:00:24]
countrywide or accessible value,
NOTE Confidence: 0.927090036
[2:00:26]
it's about 185 to $190.00 increase net.
NOTE Confidence: 0.927090036
[2:00:31]
So that would include a decrease
NOTE Confidence: 0.927090036
[2:00:33]
in your MSTU and the increase
NOTE Confidence: 0.927090036
[2:00:35]
in the fire assessment.
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:00:40]
Any further questions? All right.
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:00:43]
I think we have to have a
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:00:45]
motion to accept the I just,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:00:46]
I did want to follow up though on the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:00:48]
the, the shift and how we've done it
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:00:50]
before versus how we're doing it now.
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:00:52]
And just to, for mainly for
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:00:56]
public to understand why we
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:00:57]
would make a change like this.
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:00:59]
And my understanding is that we've,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:01]
we've been doing it in a way that was,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:03]
it was acceptable,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:05]
but it wasn't like preferable from,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:08]
from the industry's standpoint,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:10]
because you're actually looking at what
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:13]
it cost to run that fire station and
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:16]
then how much of it is being used for
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:19]
advanced life support services cost wise
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:24]
versus what you've got to have there anyway.
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:27]
24/7 because you've got to
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:28]
be there no matter what.
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:30]
24/7.
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:31]
Yes, the county's program has
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:34]
been established many years ago.
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:36]
I I don't think the methodology
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:38]
has been changed since then,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:40]
but we think that this way of approaching,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:43]
but the budget is more
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:45]
realistic because again,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:46]
there's a sunk cost that it
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:48]
has to be there no matter what.
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:50]
And basically what they are doing is
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:52]
using that to respond to ALS services,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:55]
but they don't need it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:58]
I mean,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:01:58]
if they stop doing the ALS,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:00]
they are not going to be able to
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:02]
get rid of 40% of the budget or
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:05]
whatever the incident data shows.
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:06]
So this feels to us a more accurate way
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:10]
of measuring the portion of the ALS.
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:12]
OK, Yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:14]
I just wanted to make make
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:16]
it clear that I mean,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:17]
this is,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:17]
this is a real shift in how it's
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:19]
been done historically,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:21]
but from everything that I've
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:23]
heard and read about this,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:25]
this is really the way that it should,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:28]
this is how it should be done.
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:29]
If you're going to balance between
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:31]
what you've got to have there no
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:33]
matter what for Fire Rescue purposes
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:35]
and for everybody's homeowners
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:37]
insurance and Fire Protection,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:39]
we have to have those fire
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:41]
stations and those fire assets,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:42]
fire prevention and,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:44]
you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:46]
the ability to to address structure
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:48]
fires and safety and all of that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:50]
We've got to have that no matter what.
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:51]
We're running our LS out of those
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:55]
locations in in concert with our
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:02:58]
cities and in different models we use
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:03:01]
for having our ambulances available.
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:03:04]
But but this reflects what those
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:03:06]
actual costs are to have those
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:03:08]
stations there and have that manpower
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:03:10]
there like like three men on a
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:03:12]
truck and some of these other needs,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:03:14]
right.
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:03:14]
Well,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:03:14]
I mean,
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:03:15]
it all goes hand in hand with
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:03:17]
whatever category you're putting
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:03:19]
those particular services.
NOTE Confidence: 0.941793346666667
[2:03:20]
And
NOTE Confidence: 0.693700084166667
[2:03:23]
so and that and, and to add on to
NOTE Confidence: 0.693700084166667
[2:03:25]
Commissioner Campion's comment,
NOTE Confidence: 0.693700084166667
[2:03:27]
that is part of our public safety system
NOTE Confidence: 0.693700084166667
[2:03:29]
is first responders, the firefighters
NOTE Confidence: 0.693700084166667
[2:03:32]
are typically going to arrive 1st.
NOTE Confidence: 0.693700084166667
[2:03:34]
And so the ALS services are important
NOTE Confidence: 0.693700084166667
[2:03:37]
that we have those available
NOTE Confidence: 0.693700084166667
[2:03:39]
on the on the big red trucks.
NOTE Confidence: 0.693700084166667
[2:03:41]
However, those big red trucks are
NOTE Confidence: 0.693700084166667
[2:03:43]
going to be there no matter what,
NOTE Confidence: 0.693700084166667
[2:03:45]
even if they weren't providing the
NOTE Confidence: 0.693700084166667
[2:03:48]
paramedic advanced life support services.
NOTE Confidence: 0.693700084166667
[2:03:50]
So the cost don't go away if they're
NOTE Confidence: 0.693700084166667
[2:03:52]
not providing those services.
NOTE Confidence: 0.693700084166667
[2:03:54]
So they really need to be allocated
NOTE Confidence: 0.693700084166667
[2:03:56]
to all land use categories.
NOTE Confidence: 0.852922258333333
[2:04:05]
OK, I'm looking for a motion.
NOTE Confidence: 0.742857718333333
[2:04:11]
I'll move to accept the study.
NOTE Confidence: 0.742857718333333
[2:04:12]
I'll second. All right,
NOTE Confidence: 0.742857718333333
[2:04:14]
we have a motion and a second.
NOTE Confidence: 0.742857718333333
[2:04:16]
Any further discussion?
NOTE Confidence: 0.742857718333333
[2:04:18]
I only have one thing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.742857718333333
[2:04:20]
Did Vinci take into consideration
NOTE Confidence: 0.742857718333333
[2:04:24]
to tier their amount?
NOTE Confidence: 0.742857718333333
[2:04:28]
We're talking commercial,
NOTE Confidence: 0.742857718333333
[2:04:30]
institutional and industrial now
NOTE Confidence: 0.742857718333333
[2:04:34]
to tier their amount of money
NOTE Confidence: 0.742857718333333
[2:04:38]
assessed by the fire assessment
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:04:42]
for newer buildings because newer
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:04:45]
buildings require different types of
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:04:47]
fire suppression that makes them a
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:04:49]
lot safer than the older building.
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:04:50]
So is that taken into consideration?
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:04:54]
So we are using their actual utilization.
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:04:56]
So with those buildings that land
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:04:58]
use is still calling X number.
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:05:00]
So that's one thing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:05:02]
The other thing is 80% or more of the
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:05:07]
services health related medical calls,
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:05:09]
it's not very many fire calls
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:05:12]
that they are responding.
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:05:14]
So a chief can give you the better numbers,
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:05:16]
but for the most part like seventy,
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:05:20]
8090% of fire department services are
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:05:23]
basic life support, advanced life,
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:05:25]
sports, just medical calls.
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:05:27]
OK, we have a motion to 2nd
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:05:31]
any further discussion.
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:05:32]
All those in favor to approve the
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:05:35]
presentation say aye, aye, opposed.
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:05:38]
Motion carries 50.
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:05:41]
All right, moving on down to Mr.
NOTE Confidence: 0.88764616375
[2:05:42]
Fred Schneider.
NOTE Confidence: 0.729409245
[2:05:48]
Morning Commissioners.
NOTE Confidence: 0.729409245
[2:05:51]
Fred Schneider, Assistant County Manager.
NOTE Confidence: 0.729409245
[2:05:53]
This is the Wellness way.
NOTE Confidence: 0.729409245
[2:05:54]
MSTU study outlines give background purpose.
NOTE Confidence: 0.729409245
[2:05:59]
The technical study will be provided
NOTE Confidence: 0.729409245
[2:06:02]
by Negan Camp and then we'll discuss
NOTE Confidence: 0.729409245
[2:06:05]
next steps which would be the
NOTE Confidence: 0.729409245
[2:06:08]
recommended or desired assessment
NOTE Confidence: 0.729409245
[2:06:10]
rate that would go on the trim
NOTE Confidence: 0.729409245
[2:06:13]
notices for the Wellness Way MSTU.
NOTE Confidence: 0.729409245
[2:06:15]
So a little background. In 2016,
NOTE Confidence: 0.729409245
[2:06:18]
the Wellness Way area plan was adopted
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:06:22]
2023. This is after the Wellness
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:06:24]
Way design guidelines were adopted.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:06:26]
We went a little further to define
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:06:28]
what the collector roads would look
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:06:31]
like as far as design standards.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:06:33]
And so those are the four
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:06:34]
main collector roads.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:06:35]
They're they're four lane roadways.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:06:38]
Schofield part is 2 lane right now.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:06:41]
It could be 4 lane in the future.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:06:42]
But what would those look like
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:06:44]
as far as there's upscale and
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:06:46]
enhancements on aesthetics,
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:06:47]
landscaping and those kind of
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:06:49]
things that go along with this,
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:06:50]
which is above and beyond
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:06:52]
our normal roadways.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:06:53]
So the Wellness way,
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:06:55]
MSTU was established to help
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:06:58]
fund the maintenance of those
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:01]
enhanced areas of aesthetics.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:03]
And so then Banesh has been tasked to
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:06]
calculate what those levels would be.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:08]
And they've projected out 20 years and
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:11]
looking at over the number of years looking.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:14]
And she'll get into this
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:15]
when developments come in,
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:16]
when roads get, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:18]
built and upgraded and those kind of things.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:21]
So the general area is in
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:24]
southeast Lake County,
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:25]
as you see on the left map.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:26]
And then on the on the right map,
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:31]
what you see is the MSTU
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:34]
area outlined in yellow,
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:36]
but it Wellness way area itself
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:38]
is a little bit larger than that
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:40]
and you can see to the South and
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:42]
the north and those colored areas.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:44]
And the reason the MSTU doesn't yet
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:47]
reach those areas is if we had a MSTU today,
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:51]
those folks would have to try out
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:53]
quite a number of miles out of the
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:55]
way to even get into the MSTU area.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:58]
So they're not,
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:07:59]
they're not benefiting at this
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:08:00]
point in time from any kind of
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:08:02]
aesthetics or things that would
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:08:04]
be in that put on those roads.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:08:05]
So that's why the board, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:08:08]
adopted the Wellness way and
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:08:09]
Stu as a little bit,
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:08:10]
a little bit zoned a little
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:08:12]
bit small than the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:08:13]
the actual area plan.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:08:16]
And so the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:08:17]
the purpose of this is again to provide
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:08:19]
the board the results of the MSTU study.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:08:23]
And so I'm going to introduce
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:08:25]
Negan camp with Banesh and she'll
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:08:27]
she'll go over the study itself.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:08:29]
And then if the board would discuss
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:08:33]
what the preferred rate would
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:08:35]
go on the trim notice in August.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909355595454545
[2:08:37]
So Negan,
NOTE Confidence: 0.4611414875
[2:08:44]
Negan camp with Banish.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91494217625
[2:08:48]
So the methodology to determine
NOTE Confidence: 0.91494217625
[2:08:51]
the rates included starting
NOTE Confidence: 0.91494217625
[2:08:53]
with the maintenance cost,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91494217625
[2:08:54]
estimation of maintenance cost
NOTE Confidence: 0.91494217625
[2:08:56]
and then estimating the timing
NOTE Confidence: 0.91494217625
[2:08:58]
of upcoming developments by land
NOTE Confidence: 0.91494217625
[2:09:01]
use and then the estimating tax
NOTE Confidence: 0.91494217625
[2:09:03]
value and developing the rates.
NOTE Confidence: 0.870162218571429
[2:09:09]
So the maintenance costs were estimated
NOTE Confidence: 0.870162218571429
[2:09:11]
by the county and and these costs
NOTE Confidence: 0.870162218571429
[2:09:14]
include things like the mowing,
NOTE Confidence: 0.870162218571429
[2:09:16]
maintenance of sidewalks, curb,
NOTE Confidence: 0.870162218571429
[2:09:18]
gutter, landscapes and so on.
NOTE Confidence: 0.870162218571429
[2:09:21]
And they range anywhere from 850,000
NOTE Confidence: 0.870162218571429
[2:09:26]
in 2025 to all the way to two and a
NOTE Confidence: 0.870162218571429
[2:09:30]
half million in 2040 and incorporates
NOTE Confidence: 0.870162218571429
[2:09:33]
the three 3% inflation rate.
NOTE Confidence: 0.79414019
[2:09:38]
Residential units have two components.
NOTE Confidence: 0.79414019
[2:09:40]
One is the existing tax base and
NOTE Confidence: 0.79414019
[2:09:42]
then the new units that are coming
NOTE Confidence: 0.79414019
[2:09:45]
online and a total of almost 14,000
NOTE Confidence: 0.79414019
[2:09:48]
units are estimated to be built
NOTE Confidence: 0.79414019
[2:09:51]
between 2025 and 2040 and that's
NOTE Confidence: 0.79414019
[2:09:53]
based on the implementation plan.
NOTE Confidence: 0.79414019
[2:09:56]
So that average is about 860 units per year.
NOTE Confidence: 0.894875234
[2:10:02]
Housing prices were estimated at 470,000 for
NOTE Confidence: 0.894875234
[2:10:07]
single family and 235,000 for multifamily.
NOTE Confidence: 0.894875234
[2:10:11]
This information was provided by the ongoing
NOTE Confidence: 0.894875234
[2:10:14]
development and then we also checked it
NOTE Confidence: 0.894875234
[2:10:17]
against recently built homes to verify.
NOTE Confidence: 0.894875234
[2:10:20]
And then the average annual increases were
NOTE Confidence: 0.894875234
[2:10:23]
based on reviewing market and taxable
NOTE Confidence: 0.894875234
[2:10:26]
values over the past five, 6-7 years.
NOTE Confidence: 0.894875234
[2:10:30]
Looking at non steaded,
NOTE Confidence: 0.894875234
[2:10:32]
non homesteaded homes like how much
NOTE Confidence: 0.894875234
[2:10:34]
they are increasing primarily.
NOTE Confidence: 0.894875234
[2:10:37]
So approximately 75% of the single
NOTE Confidence: 0.894875234
[2:10:39]
family homes are in in Lake County
NOTE Confidence: 0.894875234
[2:10:42]
right now are homesteaded and that
NOTE Confidence: 0.894875234
[2:10:44]
that was assumed to be the case
NOTE Confidence: 0.894875234
[2:10:46]
in the Wellness way area as well.
NOTE Confidence: 0.894875234
[2:10:48]
And about 10% of the multifamily
NOTE Confidence: 0.894875234
[2:10:50]
is homesteaded
NOTE Confidence: 0.87572592
[2:10:53]
non residential right now.
NOTE Confidence: 0.87572592
[2:10:55]
There's really no non residential
NOTE Confidence: 0.87572592
[2:10:57]
property in this area.
NOTE Confidence: 0.87572592
[2:10:58]
So it's really development timeline
NOTE Confidence: 0.87572592
[2:11:00]
is estimated from maybe 20-30
NOTE Confidence: 0.87572592
[2:11:02]
to 2040 and again based on the
NOTE Confidence: 0.87572592
[2:11:06]
implementation plans estimates
NOTE Confidence: 0.87572592
[2:11:08]
and that would be about more
NOTE Confidence: 0.87572592
[2:11:10]
than half of it is commercial,
NOTE Confidence: 0.87572592
[2:11:13]
34% industrial and about 10%
NOTE Confidence: 0.87572592
[2:11:16]
is institutional. Can
NOTE Confidence: 0.524717323333333
[2:11:21]
I skip? OK.
NOTE Confidence: 0.79334912
[2:11:23]
And then the vacant land right now
NOTE Confidence: 0.79334912
[2:11:26]
about 54% of the existing tax base
NOTE Confidence: 0.79334912
[2:11:28]
is vacant and over time the value
NOTE Confidence: 0.79334912
[2:11:31]
of existing vacant would increase,
NOTE Confidence: 0.79334912
[2:11:32]
but also the amount of vacant land will
NOTE Confidence: 0.79334912
[2:11:35]
decrease as the properties are built.
NOTE Confidence: 0.79334912
[2:11:37]
So those were taking account in
NOTE Confidence: 0.79334912
[2:11:39]
determining the portion of the tax base
NOTE Confidence: 0.79334912
[2:11:41]
that will come from vacant property.
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:11:47]
And so we had that for this
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:11:51]
base scenario, three options.
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:11:53]
If the board wanted to keep
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:11:55]
the first five years fixed,
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:11:57]
what would it calculate if it's first
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:00]
ten years fixed and 15 year fixed?
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:03]
So if it's first five years,
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:05]
it will be about .9 mills.
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:07]
If it's 1010 years is .4
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:09]
and then 15 years .25.
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:11]
Basically what would happen is early
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:13]
years would not generate enough revenues
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:15]
because there's not much tax base yet,
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:18]
but then the later years
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:19]
would make up for it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:20]
So meanwhile,
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:21]
general fund would land to this account.
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:25]
And again, all these,
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:27]
obviously this is crystal ball,
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:29]
all these projections should be
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:31]
evaluated every few years to see
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:33]
and if we have a great another Great
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:35]
Recession and something happens,
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:36]
these will all change.
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:38]
But the study is based on what the
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:40]
trends we are seeing right now.
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:42]
If these continue, what would it be?
NOTE Confidence: 0.868324444
[2:12:44]
And
NOTE Confidence: 0.777196973333333
[2:12:47]
then we did 2 alternative scenarios,
NOTE Confidence: 0.777196973333333
[2:12:49]
low growth just to show you some
NOTE Confidence: 0.777196973333333
[2:12:51]
sensitivity how the rates are changing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.777196973333333
[2:12:53]
Low growth is just assumes only 2/3
NOTE Confidence: 0.777196973333333
[2:12:55]
of these developments will take will
NOTE Confidence: 0.777196973333333
[2:12:58]
come online during that time period.
NOTE Confidence: 0.777196973333333
[2:13:00]
And then the high growth is
NOTE Confidence: 0.777196973333333
[2:13:02]
they will be developed faster.
NOTE Confidence: 0.777196973333333
[2:13:06]
So with that for with for example,
NOTE Confidence: 0.777196973333333
[2:13:09]
the first five years instead of being .917,
NOTE Confidence: 0.777196973333333
[2:13:13]
if it's, if there's low growth,
NOTE Confidence: 0.777196973333333
[2:13:15]
it's .94 almost if it's a high growth is .8.
NOTE Confidence: 0.777196973333333
[2:13:19]
So that's just how fast the
NOTE Confidence: 0.777196973333333
[2:13:21]
tax base is growing to be able
NOTE Confidence: 0.777196973333333
[2:13:23]
to pay for these improvements.
NOTE Confidence: 0.789644082222222
[2:13:27]
Next steps, I'll turn it back over to Fred.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771895346666667
[2:13:40]
So the next steps would be discussion
NOTE Confidence: 0.771895346666667
[2:13:44]
July 9th at the budget workshop.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771895346666667
[2:13:47]
July 15th maximum mileage rates
NOTE Confidence: 0.771895346666667
[2:13:50]
submittal dot September budget
NOTE Confidence: 0.771895346666667
[2:13:52]
mileage rates in September 24th
NOTE Confidence: 0.771895346666667
[2:13:55]
adopt the final 2025 mileage rates.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771895346666667
[2:13:58]
So that would be the the next steps.
NOTE Confidence: 0.771895346666667
[2:14:01]
OK, Commissioners,
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:06]
Commissioner parks, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:08]
I had some questions.
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:10]
So obviously I always like to
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:11]
make this clear to this is it the
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:13]
discussion is for that area that's
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:15]
on the map for Wellness way only.
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:16]
This is if you live in any
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:17]
other part of Lake County.
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:19]
This is not you at all,
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:21]
but it's important because this
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:23]
is this is put in place and
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:25]
I appreciate the board doing
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:26]
this because it it's it helps.
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:29]
They will be paying for Wellness
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:31]
way will be paying for these
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:33]
improvements in the maintenance where
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:35]
in lots of places typically it's
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:37]
spread across the entire county.
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:39]
So this is our growth paying
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:42]
for itself discussion.
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:44]
My question is,
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:45]
is that if you go to slide 14 just
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:48]
so I heard this correct that the
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:51]
if you the lower you go with it,
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:53]
the more I think you mentioned this
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:56]
that it has to be lent or provided
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:14:59]
by the current general fund.
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:15:01]
So that if you go with that
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:15:02]
lower mileage rate more is going
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:15:04]
to have to come out early on.
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:15:05]
So when when we if we didn't create
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:15:09]
a fixed rate for any length of
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:15:11]
time like the first year would
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:15:13]
be 1.6 mill and then it would
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:15:14]
go down as the tax base comes.
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:15:16]
So what I was trying to say that
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:15:19]
first five years if you adopted .9
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:15:21]
year one general fund would have to
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:15:23]
land to this MSTU account to make
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:15:26]
it whole and then maybe that will
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:15:28]
pay back the general fund year five.
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:15:31]
I see. OK.
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:15:32]
But your recommendation is that last slide.
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:15:34]
It's the base is that did I pick that up?
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:15:36]
Base seems to be the to us right
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:15:39]
now most likely scenario, Yes.
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:15:40]
OK.
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:15:41]
Can you go back to that slide that's 16?
NOTE Confidence: 0.442548185
[2:15:42]
Is that
NOTE Confidence: 0.874172156666667
[2:15:45]
so that's your that's your recommendation.
NOTE Confidence: 0.874172156666667
[2:15:47]
The five year at 0.917 then.
NOTE Confidence: 0.874172156666667
[2:15:50]
OK. All right. Thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.874172156666667
[2:15:53]
Could you go back to the slide of
NOTE Confidence: 0.874172156666667
[2:15:54]
the uses for the for the money?
NOTE Confidence: 0.7073060625
[2:15:58]
Which one? Oh, you're back
NOTE Confidence: 0.7073060625
[2:15:59]
at the beginning. I think
NOTE Confidence: 0.757419748
[2:16:02]
that actually. Oh, the map. Yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.757419748
[2:16:05]
There you go. Nope. Too far.
NOTE Confidence: 0.757419748
[2:16:06]
You went, you didn't get it went too far.
NOTE Confidence: 0.757419748
[2:16:09]
You want the uses, right? Yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:13]
All right. So the, the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:14]
so some of these are ongoing costs, right?
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:16]
Some of it you're not
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:18]
maintenance of sidewalks.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:19]
Hopefully you don't have to do that for,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:22]
I mean, you don't have to have to redo
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:24]
the sidewalk hopefully for right, 15 years.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:27]
But it looks like a lot of the
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:29]
other stuff is, you know, going to,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:31]
we're going to need the money to spend it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:33]
We're going to need the money, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:36]
sooner rather than later for a lot of it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:38]
Because normally when I was
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:39]
thinking about this, it's, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:40]
in 20 years we got to go and repave and,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:44]
you know, do all these different things.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:45]
But it looks like there's just,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:47]
there's way more to it
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:48]
than what I was thinking.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:49]
And we haven't included resurfacing in this
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:52]
and it's not reserving is not in there.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:54]
It's not. Yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:55]
And that's because there are external
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:16:58]
traffic that passes through this area.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:00]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:02]
Uses these roads that are more
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:04]
sort of a regional kind of road
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:06]
and not just to the area.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:08]
So yeah, so a lot of this stuff is what
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:10]
that like an HOA would normally do, right?
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:12]
This this is enhanced.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:14]
So this is above and beyond what we typically
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:17]
do in an unincorporated development.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:19]
And we we take the batwing mowers
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:21]
out and we just cut everything down.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:23]
So this is actually beautiful landscaping,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:26]
you know, enhanced lighting,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:28]
things that you typically don't
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:30]
see outside of a a city setting.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:32]
So that's what this funding would pay for.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:35]
But this is this is maintenance cost.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:37]
So there are there are some uses that
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:38]
are that for capital though, correct?
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:42]
It could be used for capital,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:44]
but primarily, yeah,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:45]
it it's part of the ordinance.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:48]
It could be used that way.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:49]
But for the most part,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:51]
for planning purposes,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:51]
it would be for the ongoing
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:53]
maintenance because that's where
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:54]
the major cost come in annually.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:56]
Yeah,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:17:56]
but but it won't happen anytime soon because
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:00]
it's everything's going to be brand new.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:01]
But there could be a time where you
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:04]
need money to redo something or a turn
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:07]
lane or or some other capital improvement.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:10]
And the beauty of that is it allows,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:12]
it's some future Commission to be
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:14]
able to do that without charging
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:15]
everybody else in the county for it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:17]
But you, you stress the maintenance cost,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:20]
which is important because that's a that's
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:22]
a big part of when you build something.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:24]
It's not just building it,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:25]
it's maintaining it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:27]
So, yeah, exactly.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:28]
And outer years,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:29]
you've got things that need repaired,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:32]
replaced, you know.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:33]
Right.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:33]
Yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:34]
But I just I mean,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:35]
I know that you I to your question,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:37]
it's not that most of it is the
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:38]
maintenance right now up front,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:40]
but it could include other capital costs,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:42]
right.
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:42]
Do we have a rough idea of the
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:44]
numbers that we if we did the
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:46]
not the 15 year solid rate,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:48]
but you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.531712362
[2:18:49]
did it the other way
NOTE Confidence: 0.83880633
[2:18:51]
we did the 15 years,
NOTE Confidence: 0.83880633
[2:18:53]
how much money would we have to
NOTE Confidence: 0.83880633
[2:18:54]
pull out of the general fund that
NOTE Confidence: 0.83880633
[2:18:57]
that we wouldn't have otherwise?
NOTE Confidence: 0.83880633
[2:18:58]
If we if we do that,
NOTE Confidence: 0.83880633
[2:19:00]
the column on the right, right,
NOTE Confidence: 0.83880633
[2:19:02]
you said we're going to have to borrow
NOTE Confidence: 0.83880633
[2:19:03]
from the general fund versus on the left.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83880633
[2:19:05]
How much would that be?
NOTE Confidence: 0.83880633
[2:19:06]
So the first few years it starts
NOTE Confidence: 0.83880633
[2:19:09]
the cost starts with 850,000
NOTE Confidence: 0.83880633
[2:19:11]
and it moves up to 1.2 million.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83880633
[2:19:13]
I think first five years and right
NOTE Confidence: 0.83880633
[2:19:16]
around there is stable and the 15
NOTE Confidence: 0.83880633
[2:19:20]
years would only almost generate almost
NOTE Confidence: 0.83880633
[2:19:24]
like a third of the five years rate.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83880633
[2:19:28]
So you would have to
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:19:31]
and even the 15 year first few years
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:19:33]
is not going to generate enough.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:19:34]
But basically you probably have to
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:19:41]
contribute about if it's like a 851
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:19:45]
third of it 300 four 100,000 more
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:19:47]
than what you would normally wanted
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:19:49]
a rough idea on that. Thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:19:51]
But you're getting paid back, right?
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:19:53]
Just OK, I'm I'm confused a little bit
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:19:57]
about like these areas in Wellness way.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:01]
Could they still have a homeowners
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:04]
association, property owners association,
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:06]
that kind of thing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:07]
They're still going to have fees that
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:09]
they're potentially paying for the things
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:11]
that are related to their plat, correct.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:14]
Those would be within
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:15]
their subdivisions though.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:17]
These this is the roads, the road
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:19]
system that's not in their subdivision.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:21]
So these are all these these are only
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:22]
the roads that are outside of the right.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:24]
Yeah. Because normally.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:25]
In a typical scenario,
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:27]
it would the HOA might handle the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:29]
the sort of the nice stuff within the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:31]
the neighborhood.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:32]
But yeah,
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:33]
that's going to be totally they'll be,
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:35]
they'll be separate to that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:37]
Back to I guess Jennifer's analogy.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:39]
It's like along County Road 44A or you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:44]
561. You just take the mowers
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:46]
out there every so often.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:47]
You do, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:48]
the basic litter pick up all that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:49]
This is more of a manicured,
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:52]
manicured type situation.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:54]
We're going to have contractors.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:58]
It is next to Disney.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:20:59]
So I guess the and, and again,
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:01]
so that looks like Disney.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:02]
Everybody else in the county
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:03]
doesn't pay for it, right?
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:04]
Well, that's,
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:05]
that's a really,
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:06]
really important point to make.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:08]
But this is just strictly Wellness
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:10]
way and this is a way to take care of
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:12]
maintenance at an enhanced level so
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:14]
that the only the property owners there
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:15]
and businesses are are paying for it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:18]
Yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:19]
And it fits the vision of we know you're
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:21]
trying to there's the I know the percentages,
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:23]
the ratios are off Now that it is you
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:25]
always start with a lot of the residential.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:27]
But but to to have that area planned,
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:30]
there's a certain,
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:31]
you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:32]
look that helps with the economic
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:33]
development side as well.
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:34]
That's how quickly would we get paid back,
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:37]
though,
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:37]
with the county get paid back from
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:40]
putting money from the general fund,
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:42]
loaning money from the general fund
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:44]
is is have you looked at that?
NOTE Confidence: 0.844414654285714
[2:21:47]
So if you
NOTE Confidence: 0.749051534
[2:21:49]
adopt A five year schedule,
NOTE Confidence: 0.749051534
[2:21:51]
it would be within that five year
NOTE Confidence: 0.749051534
[2:21:52]
that that you would start to
NOTE Confidence: 0.749051534
[2:21:53]
get the money back. Get it back.
NOTE Confidence: 0.749051534
[2:21:55]
Yeah, I if there is AI don't know
NOTE Confidence: 0.749051534
[2:21:57]
if you have the report in the
NOTE Confidence: 0.890068242608696
[2:22:01]
nearby, but there's a chart that shows
NOTE Confidence: 0.890068242608696
[2:22:03]
what it would be the mileage year by
NOTE Confidence: 0.890068242608696
[2:22:04]
year if we didn't average it at all.
NOTE Confidence: 0.890068242608696
[2:22:06]
So you can't see that this .9
NOTE Confidence: 0.890068242608696
[2:22:09]
is becoming higher than what
NOTE Confidence: 0.890068242608696
[2:22:11]
it would be and around 2028.
NOTE Confidence: 0.890068242608696
[2:22:14]
So first three years general
NOTE Confidence: 0.890068242608696
[2:22:16]
fund is loaning and then
NOTE Confidence: 0.716980633333333
[2:22:19]
the MSTU is paying back year four and five,
NOTE Confidence: 0.716980633333333
[2:22:22]
for example on that example.
NOTE Confidence: 0.716980633333333
[2:22:25]
And again, I mean,
NOTE Confidence: 0.716980633333333
[2:22:27]
I think you said something now that
NOTE Confidence: 0.716980633333333
[2:22:29]
seems reasonable and then visit,
NOTE Confidence: 0.716980633333333
[2:22:31]
revisit that every 2-3 years kind
NOTE Confidence: 0.716980633333333
[2:22:33]
of just see how everything is going.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7512248875
[2:22:43]
OK, any further questions? All right,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7512248875
[2:22:47]
thank you very much. Thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.870056691428571
[2:22:54]
Did did you get a recommendation
NOTE Confidence: 0.870056691428571
[2:22:56]
of which one you would prefer?
NOTE Confidence: 0.870056691428571
[2:22:58]
You need a motion on that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.870056691428571
[2:23:00]
We just need direction to bring
NOTE Confidence: 0.870056691428571
[2:23:02]
back because this will be part
NOTE Confidence: 0.870056691428571
[2:23:04]
of the approval of the mileage
NOTE Confidence: 0.870056691428571
[2:23:06]
rates for the trim notice in July.
NOTE Confidence: 0.870056691428571
[2:23:08]
So if the board has a province between
NOTE Confidence: 0.870056691428571
[2:23:11]
the five year, 10 year, 15 year,
NOTE Confidence: 0.870056691428571
[2:23:13]
I mean, I'm if you want a motion,
NOTE Confidence: 0.870056691428571
[2:23:15]
I'll make a motion to go with
NOTE Confidence: 0.870056691428571
[2:23:17]
the recommendation of the base,
NOTE Confidence: 0.870056691428571
[2:23:19]
which you see on the screen here.
NOTE Confidence: 0.870056691428571
[2:23:20]
Five year point, the five year scenario,
NOTE Confidence: 0.870056691428571
[2:23:23]
five year scenario.
NOTE Confidence: 0.816509840769231
[2:23:26]
Could I just ask, do we know what
NOTE Confidence: 0.816509840769231
[2:23:28]
the property owner's preference is?
NOTE Confidence: 0.816509840769231
[2:23:30]
Is there a second before discussion? Second.
NOTE Confidence: 0.816509840769231
[2:23:33]
OK, now we can do we know if there's
NOTE Confidence: 0.816509840769231
[2:23:36]
a property owner preference on that?
NOTE Confidence: 0.816509840769231
[2:23:38]
Well, all the property owners
NOTE Confidence: 0.816509840769231
[2:23:40]
from over a year ago when we,
NOTE Confidence: 0.816509840769231
[2:23:43]
you know, brought this forward,
NOTE Confidence: 0.816509840769231
[2:23:44]
we're all major, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.816509840769231
[2:23:45]
there's only they all supported it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.816509840769231
[2:23:47]
I mean, of the options that you're,
NOTE Confidence: 0.816509840769231
[2:23:49]
oh, oh, oh, OK.
NOTE Confidence: 0.816509840769231
[2:23:52]
I, I don't know to be, I don't,
NOTE Confidence: 0.816509840769231
[2:23:54]
I don't know if they've all been asked, but
NOTE Confidence: 0.891732446666667
[2:23:58]
you know, we haven't had
NOTE Confidence: 0.891732446666667
[2:24:00]
the Wellness way meetings.
NOTE Confidence: 0.891732446666667
[2:24:02]
We've had, we have those monthly and
NOTE Confidence: 0.891732446666667
[2:24:04]
the last two have been cancelled.
NOTE Confidence: 0.891732446666667
[2:24:06]
But there'll be time,
NOTE Confidence: 0.891732446666667
[2:24:08]
there'll be a July meeting.
NOTE Confidence: 0.891732446666667
[2:24:10]
So we, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.891732446666667
[2:24:10]
I could certainly bring this up.
NOTE Confidence: 0.891732446666667
[2:24:11]
And if there was some issue,
NOTE Confidence: 0.891732446666667
[2:24:12]
they could always. Yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.891732446666667
[2:24:13]
I was just curious since they're the
NOTE Confidence: 0.891732446666667
[2:24:15]
ones that'll be, you know, affected.
NOTE Confidence: 0.891732446666667
[2:24:17]
Yeah, there would be time.
NOTE Confidence: 0.891732446666667
[2:24:18]
There'd be plenty of time between
NOTE Confidence: 0.891732446666667
[2:24:20]
now and the the final vote on it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.891732446666667
[2:24:22]
If you want, we can do that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.959416257
[2:24:25]
And this is not a situation
NOTE Confidence: 0.959416257
[2:24:26]
where you can't change.
NOTE Confidence: 0.959416257
[2:24:27]
I mean, if you wait,
NOTE Confidence: 0.959416257
[2:24:29]
it would it would follow the same
NOTE Confidence: 0.959416257
[2:24:31]
process as every other mileage rate.
NOTE Confidence: 0.959416257
[2:24:32]
So if you set the higher rate even in
NOTE Confidence: 0.959416257
[2:24:34]
July for the trim notice in September,
NOTE Confidence: 0.959416257
[2:24:36]
you can always lower it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.959416257
[2:24:39]
So if you got more information from
NOTE Confidence: 0.959416257
[2:24:42]
the land owners and you saw there
NOTE Confidence: 0.959416257
[2:24:43]
was a preference to you know go
NOTE Confidence: 0.959416257
[2:24:45]
a different route with the board,
NOTE Confidence: 0.959416257
[2:24:47]
that's fine.
NOTE Confidence: 0.959416257
[2:24:48]
We can always lower it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830058155
[2:24:53]
OK, we have a motion and a second.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830058155
[2:24:55]
The recommendation to go with
NOTE Confidence: 0.830058155
[2:24:58]
A5 year base rate of .917 under
NOTE Confidence: 0.830058155
[2:25:01]
the technical study for the MST
NOTE Confidence: 0.830058155
[2:25:04]
mileage rate for Wellness way.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830058155
[2:25:07]
All those in favor say aye, aye.
NOTE Confidence: 0.830058155
[2:25:09]
Opposed Motion carries 41. Thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.88985521
[2:25:15]
OK. I'm almost scared to
NOTE Confidence: 0.88985521
[2:25:17]
call this next person up.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:25:21]
Megan, don't come up.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:25:24]
Be kind to us.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:25:24]
This year, no hurricanes.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:25:28]
I apologize in advance.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:25:30]
Good morning, Megan Milanese,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:25:31]
director of the Lake County
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:25:32]
Office of Emergency Management.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:25:34]
I am going to give you an update
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:25:36]
on what we are expecting for
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:25:38]
this hurricane season this year.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:25:40]
As a quick outline of what
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:25:42]
we'll be presenting today.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:25:43]
It will be an overview of
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:25:45]
hurricane terminology,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:25:45]
just a reminder of what we're talking about,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:25:48]
a review of our past hurricane seasons,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:25:50]
as well as a review of our upcoming
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:25:53]
2024 hurricane season and an
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:25:55]
overview and review of what we can
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:25:58]
do to prepare for the season that
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:00]
we're expecting to see this year.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:02]
So quickly, weather terminology.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:04]
First thing that a system might develop into,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:08]
depending on the wind speeds
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:10]
that we see develop,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:11]
is a tropical depression,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:13]
and that is an organized weather
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:15]
system with winds of 38 mph or less.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:19]
If it gets any stronger,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:20]
it will develop into a tropical storm,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:22]
which is when it will get its
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:24]
name from 39 to 73 mph.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:27]
Hurricane is anything with
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:29]
winds of 75 mph or higher.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:32]
And then we would consider a system
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:34]
that reaches a category three or
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:37]
higher to be a major hurricane and
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:40]
that's something that has 100 to
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:42]
11 mile per hour winds or higher.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:46]
So we break that into categories
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:47]
once it reaches that hurricane level.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:50]
So category one is anything
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:52]
between 74 to 95 mph,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:54]
Category two is 96 to 110.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:58]
And then again,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:26:59]
those major hurricane categories
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:27:01]
that category 3 is that 111 to 129,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:27:03]
four is 1:30 to 1:56,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:27:06]
and then five would be 157 mph or higher.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:27:09]
So those are our major concerns
NOTE Confidence: 0.7135888
[2:27:10]
that we're worried about.
NOTE Confidence: 0.872949443333333
[2:27:14]
In terms of past hurricane seasons,
NOTE Confidence: 0.872949443333333
[2:27:16]
the Lake County EOC has responded to seven
NOTE Confidence: 0.872949443333333
[2:27:20]
different storms within the last eight years,
NOTE Confidence: 0.872949443333333
[2:27:23]
and that includes going all the way
NOTE Confidence: 0.872949443333333
[2:27:25]
back to Matthew in 2016, Irma and 17.
NOTE Confidence: 0.872949443333333
[2:27:27]
And then of course, we had Ian and Nicole.
NOTE Confidence: 0.872949443333333
[2:27:30]
We got 2 for one in 2022
NOTE Confidence: 0.872949443333333
[2:27:32]
and then Adalia last year.
NOTE Confidence: 0.872949443333333
[2:27:34]
We were very fortunate and that we
NOTE Confidence: 0.872949443333333
[2:27:36]
didn't really have a whole lot of
NOTE Confidence: 0.872949443333333
[2:27:38]
major damage from Hurricane Adalia.
NOTE Confidence: 0.872949443333333
[2:27:39]
And we'll talk a little bit about
NOTE Confidence: 0.872949443333333
[2:27:41]
what that EOC response looked like
NOTE Confidence: 0.872949443333333
[2:27:43]
in the next couple of slides as well.
NOTE Confidence: 0.872949443333333
[2:27:46]
So last year's names,
NOTE Confidence: 0.872949443333333
[2:27:48]
we had a list of 21 names and we went
NOTE Confidence: 0.872949443333333
[2:27:50]
through 19 of them on this slide.
NOTE Confidence: 0.872949443333333
[2:27:53]
You can see they're color-coded
NOTE Confidence: 0.872949443333333
[2:27:55]
as to what developed into what.
NOTE Confidence: 0.872949443333333
[2:27:57]
So we had quite a few storms develop,
NOTE Confidence: 0.872949443333333
[2:28:00]
but we only saw one come our way.
NOTE Confidence: 0.936418150714286
[2:28:05]
So the forecast that we expected
NOTE Confidence: 0.936418150714286
[2:28:07]
last year was 12 to 17 named storms.
NOTE Confidence: 0.936418150714286
[2:28:11]
We did end up seeing
NOTE Confidence: 0.936418150714286
[2:28:13]
nineteen of those develop.
NOTE Confidence: 0.936418150714286
[2:28:14]
In terms of hurricanes,
NOTE Confidence: 0.936418150714286
[2:28:16]
we saw a forecast of five to nine expected.
NOTE Confidence: 0.936418150714286
[2:28:19]
They were right in the middle with
NOTE Confidence: 0.936418150714286
[2:28:21]
six and then major hurricanes.
NOTE Confidence: 0.936418150714286
[2:28:23]
We were expecting one to four and
NOTE Confidence: 0.936418150714286
[2:28:25]
three ended up developing last year
NOTE Confidence: 0.841925822222222
[2:28:30]
for the services that we
NOTE Confidence: 0.841925822222222
[2:28:31]
provided for Hurricane Adalia.
NOTE Confidence: 0.841925822222222
[2:28:32]
When we got that unexpected visit,
NOTE Confidence: 0.841925822222222
[2:28:36]
there were two shelters that we opened
NOTE Confidence: 0.841925822222222
[2:28:39]
for a total of 179 total evacuees,
NOTE Confidence: 0.841925822222222
[2:28:42]
not including pets.
NOTE Confidence: 0.841925822222222
[2:28:43]
We did have 20 pets as well because
NOTE Confidence: 0.841925822222222
[2:28:45]
we do have multiple pet friendly
NOTE Confidence: 0.841925822222222
[2:28:47]
shelters throughout the county.
NOTE Confidence: 0.841925822222222
[2:28:49]
We handled 187 calls to our
NOTE Confidence: 0.841925822222222
[2:28:52]
citizens information line,
NOTE Confidence: 0.841925822222222
[2:28:53]
the line that we activate to
NOTE Confidence: 0.841925822222222
[2:28:55]
provide information to folks when
NOTE Confidence: 0.841925822222222
[2:28:57]
we have any kind of emergency or
NOTE Confidence: 0.841925822222222
[2:28:59]
incident going on in the community.
NOTE Confidence: 0.841925822222222
[2:29:01]
And then we also in partnership
NOTE Confidence: 0.841925822222222
[2:29:04]
with our other county offices of
NOTE Confidence: 0.841925822222222
[2:29:06]
the distributed 16,055 sandbags.
NOTE Confidence: 0.851648587
[2:29:11]
So here's where we get into this
NOTE Confidence: 0.851648587
[2:29:14]
upcoming year's expectations.
NOTE Confidence: 0.851648587
[2:29:15]
Take it easy on us. What was that?
NOTE Confidence: 0.851648587
[2:29:19]
Take it easy on us. I'm so sorry.
NOTE Confidence: 0.851648587
[2:29:22]
So these are the names going
NOTE Confidence: 0.851648587
[2:29:24]
to start with the names.
NOTE Confidence: 0.851648587
[2:29:26]
So we'll start easy with the names.
NOTE Confidence: 0.851648587
[2:29:27]
So this is what we're expecting to see.
NOTE Confidence: 0.851648587
[2:29:30]
I am going to quickly mention for
NOTE Confidence: 0.851648587
[2:29:33]
no reason whatsoever that there
NOTE Confidence: 0.851648587
[2:29:35]
is a secondary list of names
NOTE Confidence: 0.851648587
[2:29:36]
that can be activated if we go
NOTE Confidence: 0.851648587
[2:29:39]
through all 21 of the first list.
NOTE Confidence: 0.851648587
[2:29:41]
And that list will be, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.851648587
[2:29:44]
put out once we get to that point.
NOTE Confidence: 0.851648587
[2:29:46]
If we do, if we do watch
NOTE Confidence: 0.851648587
[2:29:50]
that Hurricane Leslie there.
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:29:53]
So what we are expecting this
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:29:55]
season is an above normal season.
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:29:58]
We do look at two different predictions.
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:00]
We look at one from the
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:02]
Colorado State University.
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:03]
They are predicting to see 23 named storms,
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:06]
hence why I mentioned if we go
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:07]
through that first list of 21,
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:09]
there's a secondary list
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:10]
that will get activated.
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:12]
Of those 23 named storms,
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:13]
Colorado State is predicting that eleven
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:15]
of those will be hurricanes and then
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:18]
five of those will be major hurricanes.
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:20]
So that category three or above
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:22]
the National Hurricane Center
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:24]
releases a range of what they are
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:27]
expecting and they released an
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:29]
expectation of 17 to 25 named storms,
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:32]
8 to 13 hurricanes and four
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:35]
to seven major hurricanes.
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:38]
So this is the highest prediction
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:39]
that the National Hurricane
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:41]
Center has ever released.
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:42]
So again, I apologize,
NOTE Confidence: 0.892454845833333
[2:30:45]
it's the National Hurricane Center.
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:30:48]
It is an 85% chance that we will
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:30:50]
see that above normal season and
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:30:52]
the forecasters are 70% confident
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:30:54]
in this prediction for this year.
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:30:57]
So that being said,
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:30:58]
we're going to talk about how to
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:31:00]
prepare for hurricane season.
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:31:01]
As the county, we do preparations year round,
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:31:03]
so we provide communication and
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:31:06]
coordination with stakeholders across
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:31:07]
the entire Lake County community.
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:31:10]
We provide educational opportunities
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:31:11]
for our residents as often as we can.
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:31:14]
We'd actually just did our hurricane
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:31:16]
Expo last month where residents were
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:31:18]
able to come out and see all our
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:31:20]
different partners and learn about
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:31:21]
how they can prepare for hurricanes.
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:31:23]
We just did our hurricane season kickoff
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:31:25]
meeting with all of our stakeholders
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:31:27]
to kind of set expectations for what
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:31:29]
we can see for this hurricane season.
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:31:31]
They've gotten these predictions
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:31:32]
and we're all aware of what
NOTE Confidence: 0.856393080555556
[2:31:34]
the expectation is this year
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:31:38]
for our residents.
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:31:39]
The number one thing that I can tell
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:31:41]
folks is to make a plan ahead of time.
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:31:43]
Make sure that you know what you're
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:31:45]
going to do if you're going to evacuate,
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:31:46]
when you're going to evacuate,
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:31:48]
and communicate that plan to
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:31:49]
your loved ones, your friends.
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:31:51]
Make sure that they know where you're
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:31:52]
going and make sure that you're
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:31:54]
planning for your entire family,
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:31:55]
so that includes your pets and just
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:31:59]
determine where you're going to take shelter.
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:00]
If we are seeing a hurricane
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:02]
affecting our community,
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:03]
stay informed, get involved,
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:04]
and we'll go over some
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:06]
ways that you can do that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:07]
But if you are planning on evacuating,
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:09]
we do have a list of primary
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:11]
shelters that we activate when we
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:13]
see a storm threatening the county.
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:16]
Not all of these may be activated at once.
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:18]
We usually base that on conditions,
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:20]
but these are the different
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:22]
primary locations that we have.
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:24]
The ones that are highlighted
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:25]
are special needs.
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:26]
So those are locations that will
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:29]
accommodate folks who have dependency
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:31]
on electricity for whatever reason
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:33]
or they may need assistance
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:35]
with activities of daily living.
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:37]
And then any of the locations
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:38]
that have an asterisk by their
NOTE Confidence: 0.927688171
[2:32:40]
name are pet friendly as well.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:32:45]
So if folks are not going to be evacuating
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:32:47]
to a shelter and they are going to
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:32:49]
stay in their home during a storm,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:32:51]
the best thing they can do is identify
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:32:53]
where their safe room is going to be.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:32:54]
So that's going to be that
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:32:56]
innermost location within their
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:32:58]
home that is far away from windows,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:00]
doors, those kinds of things.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:02]
Keep in mind that the home environment
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:04]
may be very loud and frightening,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:06]
staying away from those doors and windows,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:08]
skylights, even if it's interesting
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:10]
to watch the storm go by.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:12]
Open the refrigerator only when necessary and
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:14]
stay informed with local news and weather.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:17]
One of the ways to do that is by
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:20]
purchasing or receiving from our
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:22]
office a NOAA Weather radio which
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:25]
can be programmed to your area,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:27]
which will give you the updates
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:28]
that you need.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:29]
If there's, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:30]
a hurricane watch or warning coming through,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:33]
tornado watch and warning,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:34]
it will alert residents to those situations.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:37]
And it does have battery backup as well.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:41]
alertlake.com will allow residents
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:42]
to sign up for our direct alerts
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:44]
that go directly to their phones.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:46]
And then if folks want to speak to a
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:48]
real human, if they have questions,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:50]
concerns,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:50]
anything while the situation is ongoing,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:53]
they can call our citizens
NOTE Confidence: 0.922858340416667
[2:33:54]
information line at
NOTE Confidence: 0.88753791826087
[2:33:58]
352-253-9999. And of course,
NOTE Confidence: 0.88753791826087
[2:33:59]
paying attention to the local media
NOTE Confidence: 0.88753791826087
[2:34:00]
outlets where we'll be working to get
NOTE Confidence: 0.88753791826087
[2:34:02]
information out to residents as well.
NOTE Confidence: 0.967441378333333
[2:34:05]
And then quickly after the hurricane,
NOTE Confidence: 0.967441378333333
[2:34:08]
just, you know, folks need to just
NOTE Confidence: 0.967441378333333
[2:34:10]
make sure they're being careful.
NOTE Confidence: 0.967441378333333
[2:34:11]
Some of the injuries and,
NOTE Confidence: 0.967441378333333
[2:34:13]
and worse that we've seen
NOTE Confidence: 0.967441378333333
[2:34:14]
happen after the hurricane.
NOTE Confidence: 0.967441378333333
[2:34:16]
So I just want to urge our residents to
NOTE Confidence: 0.967441378333333
[2:34:18]
stay safe even after the storm has passed
NOTE Confidence: 0.967441378333333
[2:34:20]
and stay informed of the latest information.
NOTE Confidence: 0.967441378333333
[2:34:23]
Stay away from the down, loose,
NOTE Confidence: 0.967441378333333
[2:34:24]
dangling power lines, floodwaters,
NOTE Confidence: 0.967441378333333
[2:34:26]
anything like that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.967441378333333
[2:34:27]
Take photos of the damages to your
NOTE Confidence: 0.967441378333333
[2:34:29]
house and drive only when necessary.
NOTE Confidence: 0.967441378333333
[2:34:31]
And the main thing is if you see a
NOTE Confidence: 0.967441378333333
[2:34:33]
traffic light that's out treated
NOTE Confidence: 0.967441378333333
[2:34:34]
as a four way stop because one of
NOTE Confidence: 0.967441378333333
[2:34:36]
the major things that we see is
NOTE Confidence: 0.967441378333333
[2:34:37]
traffic accidents after the storms.
NOTE Confidence: 0.967441378333333
[2:34:41]
And that is all I have.
NOTE Confidence: 0.967441378333333
[2:34:43]
So I can take any questions
NOTE Confidence: 0.967441378333333
[2:34:44]
if there are any
NOTE Confidence: 0.94439415
[2:34:47]
any questions. OK, well,
NOTE Confidence: 0.94439415
[2:34:50]
I just know that with your leadership
NOTE Confidence: 0.94439415
[2:34:51]
and your team's dedication that Lake
NOTE Confidence: 0.94439415

which was presented earlier today.
NOTE Confidence: 0.81196535

The recommended the recommendation
NOTE Confidence: 0.81196535
[2:42:31]
is an increase to the fire
NOTE Confidence: 0.81196535
[2:42:33]
assessment based on the study,
NOTE Confidence: 0.81196535
[2:42:35]
which will be offset by a
NOTE Confidence: 0.81196535
[2:42:37]

NOTE Confidence: 0.9586259
[2:42:42]
Here's the proposed solid waste
NOTE Confidence: 0.9586259
[2:42:44]
assessment rates, which reflect
NOTE Confidence: 0.9586259
[2:42:45]
no change from the prior year.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9586259
[2:42:47]
These rates are based on the service level.
NOTE Confidence: 0.9586259
[2:42:51]
The rates on the left are one
NOTE Confidence: 0.9586259
[2:42:53]
time a week pick up and then
NOTE Confidence: 0.9586259
[2:42:54]
on the right are twice a week.
NOTE Confidence: 0.937587094615384
[2:43:00]
OK, As you know, the voters approved
NOTE Confidence: 0.937587094615384
[2:43:04]
an increase in the minimum wage.
NOTE Confidence: 0.937587094615384
[2:43:07]
Currently it is $12.00 an hour and it'll
NOTE Confidence: 0.937587094615384
[2:43:10]
go into effect to 13 on 930 of this year.
NOTE Confidence: 0.937587094615384
[2:43:16]
It will increase $1.00 each year
NOTE Confidence: 0.937587094615384
[2:43:18]
until it reaches $15.00 an hour.
NOTE Confidence: 0.937587094615384
[2:43:20]
Currently the county wide minimum wage
NOTE Confidence: 0.937587094615384
[2:43:24]
is $14.00 an hour and we're proposing
NOTE Confidence: 0.937587094615384
[2:43:26]
to adjust the minimum wage to $15.00
NOTE Confidence: 0.937587094615384
[2:43:29]
an hour for all BCC employees plus
NOTE Confidence: 0.937587094615384

OK. And then here's the next steps
NOTE Confidence: 0.938109202727273
[2:43:40]
in the budget process. In July,

[2:43:42]

NOTE Confidence: 0.938109202727273
[2:43:45]
will present the recommended budget.
NOTE Confidence: 0.938109202727273
[2:43:47]
We'll set maximum mileage rates and
NOTE Confidence: 0.938109202727273
[2:43:49]
adopt the assessment resolutions.
NOTE Confidence: 0.938109202727273
[2:43:51]
In August, we'll receive
NOTE Confidence: 0.938109202727273
[2:43:52]
the tax collectors budget.
NOTE Confidence: 0.938109202727273
[2:43:53]
We'll hold our infrastructure sales tax
NOTE Confidence: 0.938109202727273
[2:43:55]
budget workshops and public hearing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.938109202727273
[2:43:57]
And then in September we will hold our
NOTE Confidence: 0.938109202727273
[2:43:59]
public hearings to adopt the budget,
NOTE Confidence: 0.938109202727273
[2:44:01]
mileage and assessment rates.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:05]
Answer any questions.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:06]
We have some OK, any questions.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:08]
Commissioner Parks,
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:10]
could you go back to Slide 10, please?
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:13]
A question and then a comment
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:15]
just so I can confirm the county
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:17]
support for constitutional officers,
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:19]
that's in addition to what their request is,
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:22]
that's some of the smaller constitutional
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:24]
officer departments as well, right?
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:25]
So that's actually funding that we
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:27]
provide on behalf of the constitutional
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:30]
officers out of the general fund directly.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:32]
So it could be things like utility,
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:34]
it could be lease leases for
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:37]
their they're off site facilities,
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:39]
it could be insurance, what have you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:42]
But that's an addition to the IT is
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:44]
an addition to the transfer, correct.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:47]
And just again refresh my memory.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:51]
So there are some functions that
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:54]
we basically have to provide,
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:56]
we have to fund per state statute for
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:44:59]
the constitutional officers, correct?
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:01]
We have to provide facilities, we correct.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:04]
Yes. All right.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:06]
And there has there ever been any
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:08]
discussion about what the state,
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:09]
about the state stepping in and
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:10]
providing more of that or is that
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:12]
that maybe that's for a different day,
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:13]
but I haven't heard of anything
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:16]
being discussed,
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:17]
but I could certainly look into it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:19]
I don't know if they've
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:21]
had those conversations.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:22]
I wouldn't hold my breath.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:24]
I know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:25]
I know Commissioner Blake had brought
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:28]
up at one point tearing or line iteming
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:34]
each saying that the the public pays for.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:40]
I think you wanted to have each
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:42]
constitutional officer down
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:43]
there and then the general fund.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:45]
Is that right? Going to the state
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:47]
legislature on your trim notice?
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:50]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:50]
You're looking at me blank and I'm like,
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:52]
you're right, you're right.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:53]
Yeah. OK.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:53]
Yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:54]
To show, are we still working on that?
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:45:57]
So it is my understanding that that we
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:00]
cannot separate them out on the trim
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:02]
notice unless it is a separate MSTU.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:06]
So I cannot break down the general
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:09]
fund mileage by function so to speak.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:12]
Yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:12]
And I so we couldn't,
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:15]
we couldn't put something like this
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:17]
in our trim notice so that the public
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:19]
knows exactly where their money's going.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:21]
No,
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:23]
that's why we try to provide the
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:26]
documents like a dollar of your
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:28]
taxes where that goes and as much as.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:30]
But we cannot put it in the trim notice.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:32]
Now could could we not ask the
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:35]
property appraiser to have like
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:38]
a little sublet flyer put in the
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:41]
trim notice so people he might be
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:45]
permitted by law specifically to do.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:47]
He could be I don't know the I
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:48]
don't know the galleries.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:49]
I mean we all have seen it before.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:51]
Where inserts. The inserts.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:53]
Yeah, I can ask about an insert, right.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:56]
That's what I'm talking about at
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:57]
least it's better than nothing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:46:58]
Yeah, well, we had talked about an Ms.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:47:01]
to use as well, but that's right,
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:47:03]
specifically the notice is a good right.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:47:06]
OK. All right. Thank you, Allison.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:47:10]
Oh, just real quick, sorry, hold on.
NOTE Confidence: 0.782570311666667
[2:47:13]
So the the how much is was set
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:15]
aside for the roads,
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:17]
it's only three million, right.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:18]
So in the general fund it's 3
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:20]
million and then with the other
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:23]
sources we're almost at 5 million.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:25]
But other sources,
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:26]
what infrastructure sales tax.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:28]
Oh, gotcha. Yeah, All right.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:30]
What what percentage just of the
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:31]
general fund budget that I'm just
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:33]
trying to keep track of our what we
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:34]
have talked about as policy that we
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:36]
would spend out of general fund for risk.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:38]
So look it up.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:39]
I'm not 100%.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:39]
We don't have a policy.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:40]
We should be up at 4:00.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:41]
We do not have a policy and it's not 4%.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:43]
I know we're not at 4 percent,
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:45]
4% of the total revenue.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:46]
So what is the total revenue for Avalorum?
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:50]
Total revenue is two O 1, two O 1.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:56]
So 20,000 is 10%, five percent is 10,000.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:47:59]
So you're looking at about 8:00 or a million,
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:01]
sorry, about 8,000,000 for 4%.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:05]
With that we would need for about 4%,
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:07]
correct? Yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:07]
And we're only at three and
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:09]
we're only at three, right.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:10]
But we're doing other things.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:11]
We increase the impact fee, Rd.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:15]
impact fee.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:15]
I mean we've done some things
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:17]
offset for resurfacing,
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:18]
that is true.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:19]
But but everything that we do for
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:22]
resurfacing can everything we save on
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:25]
resurfacing can go toward building.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:28]
Yeah, I just,
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:28]
I,
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:29]
I agree with Commissioner Park so
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:30]
that the there was a target that we
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:33]
were working towards and I think that
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:34]
we need to keep that at the forefront.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:37]
So we're currently at 19%.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:39]
We could take down the reserve to 17%
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:43]
which I think has been an unspoken kind
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:45]
of agreed upon percentage of general
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:48]
fund if you would like to do that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:50]
And that would provide an additional maybe
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:52]
million and a half or so possibly two.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:57]
And then the next question is
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:48:58]
if we had $30 million could,
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:01]
could our could we even do that in a year?
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:04]
Well, I mean that's that's
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:06]
the question 3:00 to 4:00.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:08]
So it's not we're not even at that question.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:10]
I mean, if we, that would,
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:12]
that would be a great problem to have, right?
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:14]
So, and, and that's the thing,
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:15]
it just,
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:16]
it depends on the availability of
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:19]
vendors to be able to spend the funding.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:21]
Some years we're able to spend it quickly,
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:22]
some years we can't.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:24]
But I, I on that point,
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:25]
though, I imagine I'm not a,
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:27]
I'm not a road contractor,
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:28]
but I imagine if you lock
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:31]
down contracts with them,
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:33]
they would do it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:33]
And it may take,
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:34]
it may stray into the next budget year.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:37]
But if you,
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:38]
if we had the additional say we're up to 5
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:40]
million and you could lock down another Rd.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:42]
project with that,
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:43]
that we can certainly lock it down.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:45]
Here's the balance we have to make.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:47]
When you lock it down and it
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:48]
takes two years to complete,
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:50]
that funding is unavailable for
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:52]
other shovel ready projects.
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:54]
So you may have two years
NOTE Confidence: 0.778753493571429
[2:49:56]
of it sitting on
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:49:57]
APO while we're in line with a vendor.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:49:59]
So you have to find that sweet spot
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:01]
to make sure that you're not tying up
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:03]
funding for two years that could be
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:05]
used on other things because there's
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:07]
a lot of needs within the county.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:09]
So that's what we're trying to determine.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:11]
Where's that? Where's that sweet spot?
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:13]
You know, if we could come up
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:15]
with 20 million a year,
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:16]
but if we could only spend 5,
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:18]
then you've got 15 locked up for a year or
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:21]
two that could be used on other things.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:23]
Yeah. I just think that, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:25]
there's some roads that are fours and
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:27]
fives that with another year or so,
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:29]
then the cost is triple to redo it a four.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:31]
Absolutely.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:31]
Absolutely.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:32]
So and that's and that's why I say
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:35]
we're trying to make sure that we have
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:37]
as much available funding as we can
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:39]
get done in one year without tying up
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:41]
funding for other things over multiple years.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:44]
Well,
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:44]
I think that would be a good problem to have.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:46]
Like you said, I would test it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:49]
But yes,
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:49]
the I only just ask that because the the
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:53]
more that we can dedicate towards roads,
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:55]
this is not a frivolous thing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:57]
This is just taking the reserve,
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:50:59]
taking the excess from the growth and putting
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:01]
it towards what truly would make sense.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:03]
It's like #1 complaint we get
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:05]
is about the road resurfacing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:07]
So I think that we've got to try to
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:10]
get back on that target and make
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:12]
that our goal so that we can do a
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:14]
better job of keeping up with it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:17]
And I think that there's going to be
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:19]
the public will be more receptive
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:20]
to this question of whether you
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:22]
roll back or not.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:23]
I mean,
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:23]
if we're not rolling back mileage rate,
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:26]
then what are what is the
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:27]
public getting in return?
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:28]
And keeping up with the roads is going to be,
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:31]
I think a key part of that argument.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:33]
The other part of the argument will be
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:36]
hearing from the sheriff about exactly
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:39]
where this 16.9% increase will be going.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:45]
And I think we, I guess we will
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:48]
get that presentation from him.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:50]
Yeah,
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:50]
we got a meeting scheduled
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:52]
for sometime this month.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:53]
You're you're going to meet with him.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:55]
Will you come in July then perhaps and
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:51:57]
then I'll let you know after the meeting.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:52:00]
Yeah,
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:52:00]
I think it's really important
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:52:01]
for him and he usually does come
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:52:03]
and goes over everything with us.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:52:05]
But I think it's really important for
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:52:06]
us to be able to point particularly
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:52:08]
to the things that would be he would
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:52:10]
be able to address with this increase.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:52:12]
Because I people want to know because
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:52:14]
if you're not going to roll back,
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:52:16]
then what are you using the
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:52:18]
additional funding for?
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:52:19]
And you've got to be able to,
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:52:21]
we've got to be able to provide details.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:52:23]
I think I agree.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:52:26]
And that's why that's how the Ms.
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:52:27]
one of the reasons the MSTU
NOTE Confidence: 0.931875116363636
[2:52:29]
conversation came up in
NOTE Confidence: 0.8730476175
[2:52:30]
the Lake 100 requested that we
NOTE Confidence: 0.8730476175
[2:52:31]
at least do a study on that was,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8730476175
[2:52:33]
was to make sure there was
NOTE Confidence: 0.8730476175
[2:52:35]
some transparency there and
NOTE Confidence: 0.8730476175
[2:52:36]
that and that the political,
NOTE Confidence: 0.88090194
[2:52:40]
say the political weight of that
NOTE Confidence: 0.88090194
[2:52:42]
decision is properly attributed. All
NOTE Confidence: 0.86990872
[2:52:46]
right, thank you. Thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8018866
[2:52:50]
OK. We're going to move on
NOTE Confidence: 0.8018866
[2:52:54]
down to our public hearings.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8018866
[2:52:55]
I'm at least going to get
NOTE Confidence: 0.8018866
[2:52:57]
through Tab 17 because we've
NOTE Confidence: 0.8018866
[2:52:59]
got people here for Tab 17,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8018866
[2:53:01]
and we'll see how it goes from there.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8018866
[2:53:03]
All right, this is a public hearing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8018866
[2:53:06]
You don't need to fill out a card to speak.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8018866
[2:53:09]
You don't have to.
NOTE Confidence: 0.804569101111111
[2:53:11]
But you do have to admit ex parte contact.
NOTE Confidence: 0.804569101111111
[2:53:15]
Is there any ex parte contact on here?
NOTE Confidence: 0.804569101111111
[2:53:18]
No, there's not.
NOTE Confidence: 0.804569101111111
[2:53:19]
All right, so we'll move on down to Melanie.
NOTE Confidence: 0.804569101111111

NOTE Confidence: 0.957371842
[2:55:11]
Hello, good morning,
NOTE Confidence: 0.957371842
[2:55:12]
almost afternoon. Thank you Mr.
NOTE Confidence: 0.957371842
[2:55:15]
Chairman and other commissioners for
NOTE Confidence: 0.957371842
[2:55:17]
bringing this ordinance in front of you guys.
NOTE Confidence: 0.957371842
[2:55:19]
So I'm Chris Creech.
NOTE Confidence: 0.957371842
[2:55:21]
I live in Lake County,
NOTE Confidence: 0.957371842
[2:55:23]
41620 Silver Drive.
NOTE Confidence: 0.957371842
[2:55:24]
It's my residence, my personal residence.
NOTE Confidence: 0.957371842
[2:55:27]
This ordinance effects we're looking
NOTE Confidence: 0.957371842
[2:55:30]
to expand the ISBA interlocal agreement
NOTE Confidence: 0.957371842
[2:55:34]
between the county and and Umatilla.
NOTE Confidence: 0.957371842
[2:55:37]
We believe it's a it's a logical move
NOTE Confidence: 0.957371842
[2:55:40]
properties already served by even
NOTE Confidence: 0.957371842
[2:55:42]
till in certain factors being water.
NOTE Confidence: 0.957371842
[2:55:45]
And I'm here for any questions
NOTE Confidence: 0.957371842

NOTE Confidence: 0.957371842
[2:55:48]

NOTE Confidence: 0.957371842
[2:55:50]
vote today from you guys and and if
NOTE Confidence: 0.957371842
[2:55:52]
you guys have any questions about it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.957371842
[2:55:55]
OK, thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.742665318
[2:56:02]
All right. Mr. Clifford Williamson,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818917862
[2:56:16]
good morning, everyone.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818917862
[2:56:17]
This is my first time to a meeting like this.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818917862
[2:56:20]
I'll apologize if I get things wrong,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818917862
[2:56:22]
but I'm a bit concerned about Mr.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818917862
[2:56:25]
Creech's application for voluntary
NOTE Confidence: 0.818917862
[2:56:27]
annexation of his property.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818917862
[2:56:29]
Is it going to be a
NOTE Confidence: 0.818917862
[2:56:32]
domicile residency or not?
NOTE Confidence: 0.818917862
[2:56:33]
If it is and he's the mayor of Umatilla,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818917862
[2:56:36]
he's leaving the city limits,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818917862
[2:56:38]
but by this application is bringing
NOTE Confidence: 0.818917862
[2:56:42]
the city limits to his property,
NOTE Confidence: 0.818917862
[2:56:45]
including it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818917862
[2:56:46]
This makes me feel very uncomfortable
NOTE Confidence: 0.818917862
[2:56:49]
of somebody in the position like
NOTE Confidence: 0.818917862
[2:56:52]
this to apply for annexation to city
NOTE Confidence: 0.818917862
[2:56:55]
limit when the mayor has to be in
NOTE Confidence: 0.818917862
[2:56:58]
the city limits to keep his job.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818917862
[2:57:00]
That's my understanding of it and it
NOTE Confidence: 0.818917862
[2:57:02]
brings a few things of concern to do this.
NOTE Confidence: 0.818917862
[2:57:07]
Is this going to set a precedence for
NOTE Confidence: 0.818917862
[2:57:09]
anybody who wants to annex to the city?
NOTE Confidence: 0.8380686325
[2:57:15]
They don't have to live in
NOTE Confidence: 0.8380686325
[2:57:16]
the city. You just annex it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8380686325
[2:57:19]
I don't agree with that and
NOTE Confidence: 0.80019389
[2:57:27]
I'm sorry. It's just that there's
NOTE Confidence: 0.80019389
[2:57:28]
so many things going through.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80019389
[2:57:30]
I only just learned about this recently so
NOTE Confidence: 0.80019389
[2:57:32]
I've not had all the legal updates on it,
NOTE Confidence: 0.80019389
[2:57:35]
but the fact that the the mayor has
NOTE Confidence: 0.80019389
[2:57:38]
this underground business RCM and
NOTE Confidence: 0.80019389
[2:57:41]
he's doing stuff around my city.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80019389
[2:57:43]
In fact my street, I live at 85 Whitcomb Ave.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80019389
[2:57:45]
I've lived there for 22 years in New Matilla.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80019389
[2:57:50]
And how did this firm get the job?
NOTE Confidence: 0.80019389
[2:57:55]
I believe they're doing this.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80019389
[2:57:56]
What? I may be wrong but from what
NOTE Confidence: 0.80019389
[2:57:58]
I've found out up to now, I'm not.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80019389
[2:58:00]
So how is this applicable?
NOTE Confidence: 0.80019389
[2:58:03]
Annexation into the city?
NOTE Confidence: 0.80019389
[2:58:06]
The way this is perceived at the moment
NOTE Confidence: 0.80019389
[2:58:10]
is wrong, and that's all I have to say.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80019389
[2:58:12]
Any questions?
NOTE Confidence: 0.80019389
[2:58:16]
Thank you. All right.
NOTE Confidence: 0.80019389
[2:58:17]
Thank you,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7889849625
[2:58:20]
Miss Barbara Johnson. Good
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:58:32]
morning. It's been a long morning.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:58:36]
I am Barbara Johnson and I am from Muratella.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:58:39]
I live in Silver Beach Heights
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:58:42]
and built a home there in 85.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:58:45]
It's a great place. It's in the county.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:58:48]
We bought it because we
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:58:50]
wanted to be in a closed area.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:58:54]
We are in the county.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:58:57]
Lots of trees, very little traffic.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:59:01]
We I was a realtor in Yumatella for 32 years,
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:59:06]
so I like Yumatella.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:59:08]
My husband born and raised in Yumatella.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:59:11]
We live where we live in Silver Beach
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:59:14]
because we want to be in the county.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:59:17]
I was very impressed by the early part
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:59:20]
of the meeting for the enthusiasm
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:59:24]
for the ISBA that the other parts
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:59:27]
of our county are enthralled with.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:59:31]
They are undeveloped properties.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:59:34]
Through the last few weeks and months we
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:59:38]
have had discussions with our City Council.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:59:42]
They are wanting to make an
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:59:44]
agreement with the county.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:59:46]
This is the city of Umatella that
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:59:48]
they want to become part of ISBA.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:59:52]
So and I from this morning's I can see
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:59:56]
how other areas would be very inclined
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[2:59:59]
to enjoy this and benefit by it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:00:03]
When that first came up,
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:00:04]
the ISBA and we were instructed that
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:00:08]
our city had talked to the county,
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:00:10]
that that was the city's idea and it
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:00:13]
was really good idea for our area.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:00:15]
Well,
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:00:17]
we live on a lake and we're still in
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:00:22]
the county. Now, if indeed we have Mr.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:00:27]
Creech, I wasn't going to say his name,
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:00:29]
but he already started.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:00:32]
He has been in Yumatel,
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:00:35]
the city of Yumatel, the mayor,
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:00:37]
but he chose to move to our subdivision,
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:00:39]
which we love.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:00:41]
It's a beautiful home he bought
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:00:43]
and now he wants to be in the city.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:00:46]
Now you see,
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:00:48]
we understand that when the city
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:00:50]
is right next to us,
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:00:52]
we can be absorbed if we agree.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:00:57]
But we aren't going to agree and we
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:00:59]
don't think we deserve the burden
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:01:01]
of being pressured into that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:01:03]
Our subdivision is is developed out.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:01:07]
It's best for people that don't have
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:01:09]
it developed out. We are there.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:01:11]
We are full. I, I thought you we were given.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:01:15]
I have worked on petitions for
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:01:17]
weeks in our subdivision.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:01:19]
You were given those copies.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:01:21]
We do not want to be in the county.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:01:25]
I can see where it's good for other areas.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880454498333333
[3:01:27]
We are developed out where we live.
NOTE Confidence: 0.870948641666667
[3:01:31]
That's all I want to say.
NOTE Confidence: 0.966722975
[3:01:35]
Thank you, Mr. Tom Rose.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906067643571428
[3:02:05]
We were, we had some people from the
NOTE Confidence: 0.906067643571428
[3:02:08]
Silver Beach community here last week
NOTE Confidence: 0.906067643571428
[3:02:10]
presented you with a petition with the
NOTE Confidence: 0.906067643571428
[3:02:14]
around 115 signatures of residents that
NOTE Confidence: 0.906067643571428
[3:02:19]
are opposed to this annexation ispace
NOTE Confidence: 0.906067643571428
[3:02:23]
or whatever it is and presented you
NOTE Confidence: 0.906067643571428
[3:02:27]
with some detail of why we oppose it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906067643571428
[3:02:31]
So I'm not going to go any further into that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906067643571428
[3:02:34]
I'm going to kind of cut to the bottom line
NOTE Confidence: 0.906067643571428
[3:02:38]
of what I think we're dealing with here.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906067643571428
[3:02:40]
I don't think there's anything
NOTE Confidence: 0.906067643571428
[3:02:44]
with this proposal that serves the
NOTE Confidence: 0.906067643571428
[3:02:48]
citizens of Lake County,
NOTE Confidence: 0.906067643571428
[3:02:51]
citizens of Umatilla or the residents
NOTE Confidence: 0.906067643571428
[3:02:54]
of Silver Beach in any way whatsoever.
NOTE Confidence: 0.906067643571428
[3:02:57]
I think all that this
NOTE Confidence: 0.906067643571428
[3:03:00]
would accomplish if passed,
NOTE Confidence: 0.906067643571428
[3:03:02]
it serves the self-interest of one individual
NOTE Confidence: 0.948219203333333
[3:03:08]
and this is just plain wrong.
NOTE Confidence: 0.948219203333333
[3:03:14]
So Commissioner Shields, Parks,
NOTE Confidence: 0.948219203333333
[3:03:18]
Smith, Campion and Blake, do the
NOTE Confidence: 0.948219203333333
[3:03:24]
right thing and vote No, Thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.726651726666667
[3:03:32]
Thank you. All right. Jeffrey Preston.
NOTE Confidence: 0.38120857
[3:03:42]
OK.
NOTE Confidence: 0.76117310125
[3:03:46]
All right. It's all the cards I have.
NOTE Confidence: 0.76117310125
[3:03:48]
Anybody else on in the audience
NOTE Confidence: 0.76117310125
[3:03:50]
would like to speak. Anybody online?
NOTE Confidence: 0.76117310125
[3:03:54]
OK. Bringing it back to the board,
NOTE Confidence: 0.52032024875
[3:04:00]
I have questions, but I have a question.
NOTE Confidence: 0.52032024875
[3:04:02]
You go ahead and start.
NOTE Confidence: 0.52032024875
[3:04:03]
I have questions too.
NOTE Confidence: 0.52032024875
[3:04:03]
My question is, again,
NOTE Confidence: 0.52032024875
[3:04:04]
I'm just trying to understand this because
NOTE Confidence: 0.52032024875
[3:04:06]
it seemed like a pretty simple request,
NOTE Confidence: 0.52032024875
[3:04:07]
but somebody wants to voluntarily annex,
NOTE Confidence: 0.52032024875
[3:04:10]
get annexed in and we have to change
NOTE Confidence: 0.52032024875
[3:04:14]
the ISBA to allow that, right?
NOTE Confidence: 0.52032024875
[3:04:17]
That's essentially what we're doing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.52032024875
[3:04:20]
OK, yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.52032024875
[3:04:21]
The the property is not contiguous to
NOTE Confidence: 0.52032024875
[3:04:23]
the city limits and this particular
NOTE Confidence: 0.52032024875
[3:04:26]
ISBA didn't give them blanket
NOTE Confidence: 0.52032024875
[3:04:28]
authorization to do non contiguous.
NOTE Confidence: 0.52032024875
[3:04:30]
So that's why they're here for an amendment.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8336176315
[3:04:34]
I just want to make sure I understand
NOTE Confidence: 0.8336176315
[3:04:35]
it's the first time I've had a
NOTE Confidence: 0.8336176315
[3:04:36]
chance to ask these questions,
NOTE Confidence: 0.8336176315
[3:04:37]
but it so is the purpose of
NOTE Confidence: 0.8336176315
[3:04:40]
of this coming before us.
NOTE Confidence: 0.8336176315
[3:04:42]
So can can I direct a question to
NOTE Confidence: 0.8336176315
[3:04:44]
the the the folks who are here is the
NOTE Confidence: 0.8336176315
[3:04:47]
person is the reason this is before
NOTE Confidence: 0.8336176315
[3:04:49]
us so that you can remain mayor after
NOTE Confidence: 0.8336176315
[3:04:50]
you've moved out of the city limits?
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:04:59]
Thank you. Commissioner Blake,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:01]
I'll cut straight to the chase.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:02]
And the answer that question is yes,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:05]
I'm trying to do this the right way.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:07]
I've lived in Umatilla my entire life.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:09]
I serve the city of Umatilla,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:12]
my constituents,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:13]
the residents with my heart and soul
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:15]
trying to do this the proper way.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:18]
Bought a piece of property,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:19]
I knew it was annexable.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:22]
The community had some concerns
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:23]
trying to address that,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:25]
doing it with the ISBA and not
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:27]
shoving it through across the water
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:29]
body and things of that nature.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:32]
So we thought this was the most logical path.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:34]
Obviously there's some pushback on that,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:36]
but for lack of a better term, I'm,
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:39]
I'm not a carpetbagger and I'm not
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:41]
going to go rent an apartment city
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:42]
in utility to keep my my mayorship.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:44]
So trying to do it the correct way.
NOTE Confidence: 0.92642995
[3:05:47]
So yes, Sir, thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.964225668
[3:05:51]
So if that's the case,
NOTE Confidence: 0.964225668
[3:05:52]
of course, I love you, Matila.
NOTE Confidence: 0.964225668
[3:05:53]
Love Scott seems like a nice guy.
NOTE Confidence: 0.964225668
[3:05:55]
I, I, I don't feel comfortable
NOTE Confidence: 0.964225668
[3:05:58]
using city time and county
NOTE Confidence: 0.964225668
[3:06:01]
time and the legal process if
NOTE Confidence: 0.964225668
[3:06:04]
you've chosen to leave the city.
NOTE Confidence: 0.964225668
[3:06:06]
I totally understand that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.964225668
[3:06:08]
And it's obviously it, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.964225668
[3:06:10]
it's a boundary that exists.
NOTE Confidence: 0.964225668
[3:06:12]
I'm not comfortable doing this for
NOTE Confidence: 0.964225668
[3:06:15]
political reasons that regardless
NOTE Confidence: 0.964225668
[3:06:17]
of how much I might like an
NOTE Confidence: 0.964225668
[3:06:19]
individual or or a municipality,
NOTE Confidence: 0.964225668
[3:06:21]
I'm not comfortable using this
NOTE Confidence: 0.964225668
[3:06:22]
process using county time,
NOTE Confidence: 0.964225668
[3:06:24]
using city time just to allow
NOTE Confidence: 0.964225668
[3:06:27]
someone to continue to be mayor.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909422615
[3:06:35]
OK, well I'm of the same opinion
NOTE Confidence: 0.909422615
[3:06:41]
we are tasked not to have.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909422615
[3:06:45]
When we do annexation, we kind of look
NOTE Confidence: 0.909422615
[3:06:49]
at trying not to create an enclave.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909422615
[3:06:52]
This is certainly would be an enclave.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949772854
[3:06:57]
And like you Commissioner Blake,
NOTE Confidence: 0.949772854
[3:06:59]
you know the rules going into it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949772854
[3:07:02]
You know what's the expectations are.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949772854
[3:07:05]
I'm sure Mr.
NOTE Confidence: 0.949772854
[3:07:07]
Creech is a very dedicated,
NOTE Confidence: 0.949772854
[3:07:08]
hard working guy for the
NOTE Confidence: 0.949772854
[3:07:11]
citizens of Umatilla,
NOTE Confidence: 0.949772854
[3:07:13]
but I am extremely uncomfortable with
NOTE Confidence: 0.949772854
[3:07:18]
approving an annexation that's one
NOTE Confidence: 0.949772854
[3:07:22]
property for one sole purpose only.
NOTE Confidence: 0.943943606
[3:07:29]
And with that, how would
NOTE Confidence: 0.943943606
[3:07:31]
the board like to move?
NOTE Confidence: 0.943943606
[3:07:32]
I'll make the motion to deny approval.
NOTE Confidence: 0.880972496
[3:07:38]
We have motion to deny. I'll pass the gavel
NOTE Confidence: 0.6305132
[3:07:45]
2nd
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:07:49]
got a motion to 2nd. Any more discussion?
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:07:51]
Just a couple things I want to say
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:07:54]
because it's been kind of a hard
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:07:56]
situation knowing you've got one
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:07:58]
person on one hand that is asking to
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:08:00]
be annexed in into the city limits.
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:08:02]
And we get, we often times we
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:08:05]
have people coming before us,
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:08:07]
they're upset because of annexation
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:08:08]
is going to be like a big development.
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:08:11]
It's going to change the character of
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:08:13]
an unincorporated area by virtue of
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:08:15]
property next door being developed.
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:08:17]
You know, And so this is like
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:08:18]
really unique because you already
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:08:20]
have a house on the property.
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:08:21]
You have a, a neighborhood that's
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:08:23]
already completely built out.
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:08:25]
And it's just simply a request of
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:08:27]
a property owner saying I want
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:08:29]
to be inside the city limits.
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:08:31]
If you add on the part where I
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:08:33]
want to be on in the city limits
NOTE Confidence: 0.607692936
[3:08:36]
because I want to serve as mayor,
NOTE Confidence: 0.813636772857143
[3:08:41]
I can look at it both ways.
NOTE Confidence: 0.813636772857143
[3:08:42]
I can look at it like, well,
NOTE Confidence: 0.813636772857143
[3:08:44]
then you shouldn't move out
NOTE Confidence: 0.813636772857143
[3:08:46]
side of the city limits.
NOTE Confidence: 0.813636772857143
[3:08:47]
You should make sure that the
NOTE Confidence: 0.813636772857143
[3:08:50]
annexation occurs and everything's
NOTE Confidence: 0.813636772857143
[3:08:53]
in place before you make the move.
NOTE Confidence: 0.813636772857143
[3:08:56]
Otherwise, it can be certainly looked at,
NOTE Confidence: 0.813636772857143
[3:09:00]
I think the way that Commissioner
NOTE Confidence: 0.813636772857143
[3:09:03]
Blake explained it and described it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.813636772857143
[3:09:08]
And yet from a property rights standpoint,
NOTE Confidence: 0.813636772857143
[3:09:10]
if somebody wants to make an application
NOTE Confidence: 0.813636772857143
[3:09:13]
to annex and the city says yes,
NOTE Confidence: 0.813636772857143
[3:09:15]
we're willing to annex you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:09:19]
We've never gotten,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:09:21]
we've never intervened except in
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:09:24]
those instances where it changed the
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:09:26]
character of an area and we felt that we
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:09:28]
were protecting unincorporated residents in,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:09:30]
in this particular situation,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:09:32]
the residents in Silver Beach Heights,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:09:35]
they this doesn't force them or
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:09:38]
change their status. They don't,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:09:40]
they're not going to be forced to annex.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:09:42]
They can't be forced to annex unless there's
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:09:44]
a referendum by the people in Silver
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:09:47]
Beach Heights to want to want to annex.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:09:49]
So, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:09:50]
just trying to call balls and strikes here.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:09:52]
And, and I get why on one
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:09:54]
hand it looks questionable.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:09:56]
On the other hand,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:09:58]
it's like a property owner wants to annex.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:00]
What's it? It's but, but but in,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:04]
in, in the world of, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:07]
equities and you're looking at appearances.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:11]
It it does create that sort of,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:15]
you know, sort of yucky feeling like,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:17]
well, if you're going to do this, get,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:19]
get all your ducks in a row first.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:22]
And I would say I, I, I'm like you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:24]
I think there's,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:25]
you can look at it both ways and you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:28]
as, as the, the mayor said,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:30]
who I, I know just happens to be a
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:32]
very good mayor too, by the way.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:34]
But he's wanted to do it this way instead
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:37]
of trying to go across some water body,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:40]
you know, to,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:41]
to get his annexation done that way,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:42]
which I guess he could still
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:43]
do if we turned it down today.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:45]
But but I mean,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:47]
he was apparently trying to do it this
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:50]
way to be on the up and up about it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:52]
So, so I have a question though,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:54]
because I got the impression
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:55]
that there was already hearing,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:56]
and maybe Scott can help us with this,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:10:59]
that there was already a first reading
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:01]
on annexing and using the water body
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:04]
to to jump over for the Florida Statutes.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:07]
Yes, ma'am.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:09]
Good afternoon.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:10]
I think commissioners,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:13]
if give me 30 seconds give you a quick story
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:16]
on how this first started when, when Mr.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:19]
Creech was looking at house outside
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:21]
the city limits for his family,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:23]
he came and talked to me.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:24]
He said, you know, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:26]
if I move here, can I annex?
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:27]
I said, yes.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:28]
I mean, across the we,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:29]
we think this with the statue,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:31]
with the water body,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:32]
you can still annex because it's
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:33]
surrounded by this, by the city.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:35]
Matter of fact,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:36]
I think 25 homes in that area
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:39]
right now can annex right now
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:42]
because they're contiguous or, or,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:45]
you know, across the water body.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:47]
But I got a a meeting with one of
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:49]
the residents who said I don't
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:52]
like this because this is just
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:53]
leading to forced annexation.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:55]
I said we will never force you to annex ever.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:11:58]
He said, put it in writing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:12:00]
So I called my city attorney and said, Mr.
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:12:02]
Stone, Attorney Stone,
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:12:03]
will you put this in writing that
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:12:05]
we will never forcefully annex
NOTE Confidence: 0.865947271666667
[3:12:07]
anybody in Silver Beach Heights
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:08]
because we don't really don't work like that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:10]
We don't send a letter.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:11]
And you know, with that, that type of a deal,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:13]
because the best thing to do is
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:16]
amend the ISBA and put that language
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:18]
in there to protect them for any
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:21]
forced annexation in the future.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:22]
So that's why we went down the
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:25]
ISBA path originally.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:27]
You know, at first we weren't going to,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:28]
but I thought it was a logical answer for
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:31]
him to say just put their concern in writing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:34]
Everybody should be happy.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:36]
And it's changed a little bit now.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:37]
The thing since came through the county
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:39]
went from the entire community of Silver
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:42]
Beach Heights down to one resident.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:44]
So I'm not sure if I answered
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:47]
your question on that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:48]
So the reason we're here is the ISBA is
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:51]
because we were kind of asked to do that,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:53]
try to give them some confidence that
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:55]
we'll never force forcibly annex them.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:57]
But did you already have a a reading?
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:12:58]
We, we already had the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:00]
we already had the first meeting for
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:02]
annexation the lake as the basis for yes,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:04]
ma'am, making it contiguous.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:06]
And so if we didn't approve this today,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:10]
I guess the second reading will move forward
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:12]
based on the votes on the first meeting.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:16]
And so you would address annexing that?
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:19]
Yes, ma'am.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:20]
But you know what,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:20]
we think that the, the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:21]
the ISBA amendment is still a
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:23]
logical process to go through.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:25]
We serve that entire area now
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:27]
in a different point in time,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:28]
they would they would be in our
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:30]
ISBA and with a,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:31]
you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:32]
probably 1/4 of the percent
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:33]
of the of citizens live there
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:35]
now are already contiguous.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:37]
But we have no intention
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:38]
to forcibly annex anyone.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:40]
And we still like your support
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:42]
with the ISBA and, you know, back,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:44]
you know, Commissioner Blake on
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:46]
the the purpose of the annexation.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:48]
The mayor said this is primary objective.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:52]
It was that because that's what we've
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:54]
been talking about for the last six months.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:56]
But really the reason is if
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:13:58]
you want to annex, I mean,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:00]
I don't want to be flippant,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:02]
but what difference does it make?
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:03]
The reason I want to,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:05]
maybe I want to run for office next time.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:07]
Maybe there's a whole lot of
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:08]
reasons that I might want to annex.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:10]
But again, it's voluntary,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:12]
no force of the city for Mr.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:15]
Creech or anybody in that community.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:18]
Mr.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:19]
Chairman,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:20]
I just just wanted to say that I actually
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:22]
agree with Commissioner Parks on this and I,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:24]
I appreciate you not renting a house.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:26]
I, it drives me nuts when people do that or,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:28]
you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:28]
live in a different county.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:29]
It happens.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:30]
And it's very unfortunate.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:32]
And if it were just kind of a blind request,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:35]
of course,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:35]
I probably wouldn't have an opinion on it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:36]
But but the issue I'm having here is that
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:39]
taxpayer resources are being expended,
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:42]
have been expended for a political purpose.
NOTE Confidence: 0.74481652875
[3:14:45]
He he moved away knowing that
NOTE Confidence: 0.855367986666666
[3:14:47]
he was leaving the city.
NOTE Confidence: 0.855367986666666
[3:14:49]
And I don't think that it's,
NOTE Confidence: 0.855367986666666
[3:14:50]
it's everybody's job to kind of
NOTE Confidence: 0.855367986666666
[3:14:52]
March in line to clean that up.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:14:58]
I've got a a couple of question,
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:15:03]
who currently does your garbage
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:15:06]
service out there? GFL, Who is it?
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:15:10]
GFL does the garbage service
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:15:13]
for that subdivision.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:15:15]
No, that'd be under under the county.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:15:16]
I'm not sure who the yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:15:17]
So it's going to be FCC and and
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:15:20]
there's and there's so you're
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:15:21]
going to have one garbage can,
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:15:23]
maybe not for the city. Umatilla.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:15:26]
Well, if you're in the city,
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:15:28]
they get city services.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:15:30]
They get Umatilla police Umatilla fire water,
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:15:37]
which they are currently have and sewer.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:15:41]
How far away is sewer?
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:15:42]
It's it's probably will not be
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:15:45]
out that way in many years.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:15:48]
So, so really the the, the and it's,
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:15:52]
it's our duty not to create enclaves.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:15:55]
And if this isn't an enclave,
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:15:57]
I don't know what is.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:15:59]
I mean,
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:16:00]
you got one city parcel surrounded
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:16:03]
by a community of county residents
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:16:06]
using county services.
NOTE Confidence: 0.83584206
[3:16:08]
I just,
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:10]
Mr. Chairman, may just make a
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:12]
comment that I had a conversation
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:15]
when we were meeting about this.
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:17]
Like throughout the city of Umatilla,
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:19]
it's an older city.
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:21]
We have county enclaves all in the city
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:24]
where they'll be 15 garbage, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:27]
garbage picks up by the city and then the
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:30]
county will come drive all the way down,
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:31]
pick up one house and then, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:34]
the next 10 gets picked up by the city again.
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:37]
But I think that's, that's the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:39]
the intent of the ISBA is to
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:41]
get more efficient services.
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:42]
So in this case,
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:43]
it might be more efficient
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:45]
and logical for the county to
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:47]
continue to pick up that garbage,
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:49]
as it might be logical for the city
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:52]
to pick up some garbage on enclaves
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:54]
that are inside the city now.
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:56]
I think that's part of that cooperation to
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:16:59]
work to reduce cost and get more efficient.
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:17:02]
I think,
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:17:03]
I think that this was more
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:17:04]
than just one parcel.
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:17:05]
I'd have a different opinion if this
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:17:08]
was like the whole neighborhood in agreement,
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:17:11]
but this is just one parcel for one
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:17:14]
subset for one reason and one reason only.
NOTE Confidence: 0.72167766
[3:17:17]
And
NOTE Confidence: 0.615305821111111
[3:17:20]
I'm absolutely I think is an
NOTE Confidence: 0.615305821111111
[3:17:21]
important point though, again,
NOTE Confidence: 0.615305821111111
[3:17:22]
is that the IS you went the ISBA
NOTE Confidence: 0.615305821111111
[3:17:24]
route not only to be above board,
NOTE Confidence: 0.615305821111111
[3:17:26]
but also because it actually protects
NOTE Confidence: 0.615305821111111
[3:17:30]
it sounds like it's going to further
NOTE Confidence: 0.615305821111111
[3:17:32]
protect something in writing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.615305821111111
[3:17:33]
Yeah. So that that's a good,
NOTE Confidence: 0.615305821111111
[3:17:36]
that's definitely good. Yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.868827286
[3:17:41]
Any more questions for me?
NOTE Confidence: 0.868827286
[3:17:43]
Any more board discussion?
NOTE Confidence: 0.868827286
[3:17:46]
All right, so we have a motion and
NOTE Confidence: 0.868827286
[3:17:48]
a second all those in favor say aye,
NOTE Confidence: 0.868827286
[3:17:51]
aye, opposed, opposed
NOTE Confidence: 0.7777368
[3:17:56]
motion fails. Right. Three.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7777368
[3:17:58]
I I didn't get your vote.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7777368
[3:18:00]
No, I thought you three
NOTE Confidence: 0.7777368
[3:18:02]
voted for the motion to deny.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7777368
[3:18:04]
Yes, I've, I have 3:00 to 2:00.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7777368
[3:18:06]
So it denied for 3:00 to 2:00, Denied 32I
NOTE Confidence: 0.765553015882353
[3:18:11]
think it was a little confusing
NOTE Confidence: 0.765553015882353
[3:18:12]
because the motion was a negative
NOTE Confidence: 0.765553015882353
[3:18:14]
as opposed to a positive.
NOTE Confidence: 0.765553015882353
[3:18:15]
Yeah. OK, so the motion has
NOTE Confidence: 0.765553015882353
[3:18:20]
been denied by the county.
NOTE Confidence: 0.765553015882353
[3:18:21]
Moving on down to Tab 18.
NOTE Confidence: 0.765553015882353
[3:18:25]

[3:18:28]
we can't get through this now,
NOTE Confidence: 0.765553015882353
[3:18:31]
maybe commissioners,
NOTE Confidence: 0.765553015882353
[3:18:33]
you mind going another 2025 minutes
NOTE Confidence: 0.765553015882353
[3:18:36]
to see if we can't get through
NOTE Confidence: 0.765553015882353
[3:18:38]
this because I know we have Mr.
NOTE Confidence: 0.765553015882353

NOTE Confidence: 0.765553015882353

NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:23:04]
and it was the Audubon's feeling too,
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:23:07]
that you then basically hamstring.
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:23:11]
You're very specifically defined and
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:23:14]
very personally selected board by
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:23:18]
instructing them specifically how to and
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:23:20]
what to do with the land selections.
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:23:24]
I don't understand why it should be
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:23:28]
prescribed by the Parks and Trails
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:23:31]
Master plan Public lands acquisition.
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:23:34]
We discussed this at great length
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:23:36]
at the last meeting.
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:23:38]
It's not about parks and trails.
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:23:40]
It's about open space,
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:23:42]
water preservation.
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:23:43]
Yet in section 232 dot 31131 B
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:23:49]
very specifically says acquisition
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:23:51]
tasks prescribed by the parks
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:23:53]
and Trails management plan.
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:23:55]
Also then you create more interesting
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:23:59]
comments in section C of this,
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:24:02]
if you'll forgive me,
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:24:03]
I know you guys wrote this on purpose.
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:24:06]
The 5050 funding balance between natural
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:24:09]
and passive use for trails connectivity,
NOTE Confidence: 0.946792312
[3:24:11]
it's
NOTE Confidence: 0.909812692307692
[3:24:13]
going to be very difficult to take any
NOTE Confidence: 0.909812692307692
[3:24:17]
specific project or land acquisition item
NOTE Confidence: 0.909812692307692
[3:24:20]
and say this much of it is for trails
NOTE Confidence: 0.909812692307692
[3:24:23]
or connectivity and this much of it is
NOTE Confidence: 0.909812692307692
[3:24:25]
for open space and water preservation.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909812692307692
[3:24:28]
I think it's going to,
NOTE Confidence: 0.909812692307692
[3:24:29]
to try to generally achieve that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909812692307692
[3:24:31]
I, I really just don't understand.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909812692307692
[3:24:32]
It's kind of vague and I would rather
NOTE Confidence: 0.909812692307692
[3:24:35]
see this board that you're going to put
NOTE Confidence: 0.909812692307692
[3:24:38]
together and very specifically select,
NOTE Confidence: 0.909812692307692
[3:24:40]
be allowed to openly and create
NOTE Confidence: 0.909812692307692
[3:24:43]
their own report card,
NOTE Confidence: 0.909812692307692
[3:24:45]
use their own criterions,
NOTE Confidence: 0.909812692307692
[3:24:46]
bring everything to you for
NOTE Confidence: 0.909812692307692
[3:24:48]
your approval at the end.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909812692307692
[3:24:50]
Let them do the job that you're defining
NOTE Confidence: 0.909812692307692
[3:24:53]
for them and and also creating that
NOTE Confidence: 0.909812692307692
[3:24:57]
committee specifically for them.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909812692307692
[3:24:59]
Thank you. Thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.909812692307692
[3:25:02]
All right, Miss Jane Hepting.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:25:13]
Good afternoon. My name is Jane Hepting
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:25:16]
and I'm speaking on behalf of the
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:25:19]
Lake County Conservation Council.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:25:21]
We're very pleased that this Commission
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:25:23]
will be placing the public lands bond
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:25:26]
referendum on the ballot this fall.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:25:28]
We suggest that none of the
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:25:30]
funds be used for active parks,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:25:32]
and we also suggest that the advisory
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:25:35]
committee not be required to split the
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:25:38]
funds 5050 between natural passive use
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:25:41]
lands and land use for trail connectivity.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:25:44]
Acquiring lands to complete the
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:25:46]
wildlife corridor through Lake
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:25:48]
County is an urgent matter.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:25:50]
Once the land is gone, it's gone forever.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:25:53]
Once the wildlife is gone,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:25:55]
it may be gone forever also.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:25:58]
So during the early years of the bond,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:00]
the committee may favor purchasing
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:02]
conservation lands for good reason and
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:04]
then focus more on land for trails.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:07]
Later.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:08]
Trail connectivity may occur
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:11]
on the conservation land.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:14]
So just as Marty Proctor stated,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:17]
how do you kind of divide out
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:18]
how much money is going to each?
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:20]
And the funding needed for a particular
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:23]
project will depend upon how much
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:25]
money is available from other sources.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:27]
For these reasons,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:28]
we believe that the committee should
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:31]
have the freedom to recommend
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:32]
the best use of the funds.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:35]
I understand that the Aqua Valley
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:37]
Audubon Society has also sent
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:40]
you a letter expressing concerns
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:42]
about the 5050 split.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:44]
The society correctly points out that
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:48]
the ordinance list many allowable
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:50]
uses for bond proceeds and nearly
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:54]
all address ecosystem services.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:26:59]
The list includes protecting drinking water,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:27:03]
improving water quality of our rivers,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:27:05]
lakes and streams,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:27:06]
protecting open space,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:27:08]
providing connectivity between
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:27:10]
habitat for wildlife,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:27:14]
and also preserving natural areas.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:27:16]
These are all really,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:27:18]
really important,
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:27:20]
so we're asking that you let the
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:27:22]
advisory committee have the leeway to
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:27:24]
recommend the best use for the funds.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:27:27]
And thank you all for your
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:27:28]
service to this county.
NOTE Confidence: 0.922758121666667
[3:27:29]
All right, thank you, Miss Cindy Newton.
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:27:40]
Thank you again for the opportunity to speak.
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:27:42]
Cindy Newton, District 4.
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:27:45]
I agree with both of them,
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:27:47]
so I won't go over what they said.
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:27:49]
I am in support of the bond referendum.
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:27:53]
I did circulate the new language
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:27:57]
and it came back with a lot more
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:28:00]
opposition than the first language did.
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:28:03]
I think she should be aware of that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:28:07]
Generally the people are supporting more
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:28:10]
natural areas with fewer paved trails.
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:28:13]
They're in favor of the natural trails.
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:28:16]
Also very concerned about the 5050 split,
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:28:20]
which is actually being seen
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:28:22]
more as a 2520 five $0.50.
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:28:27]
The paths of the natural lands are
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:28:29]
on one side, trails on the other,
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:28:31]
and that was a big sticking
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:28:34]
point for most people on this.
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:28:36]
I just want to make sure this
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:28:38]
does get put on the ballot with a
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:28:41]
valid opportunity to be passed.
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:28:43]
And I see those as tripping points for a
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:28:47]
lot of the information I'm getting back.
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:28:50]
Thank you. Thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:28:53]
Mr.
NOTE Confidence: 0.87671018
[3:28:54]
Greg Ginsmeyer
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:01]
kind of feel like an outcast
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:02]
sitting over on the one side,
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:03]
but that was just because I was also
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:06]
part of the the Ferndale issue again,
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:09]
Greg Enseimer, unincorporated
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:11]
lake and prior chairman of the
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:14]
first line acquisition committee.
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:17]
And I'm here talking about
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:19]
the 5050 split too.
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:20]
I'm I'm as much of an advocate for trails
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:23]
as anybody else except for Mike Stevens.
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:25]
I don't think anybody, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:27]
equals his advocacy and and his work on
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:32]
creating trails in our in our county.
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:35]
I was originally concerned about that
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:37]
5050 split just the same way that
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:39]
everybody else was talking about.
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:41]
But also I was concerned a little bit
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:44]
because it's not just 50% of the land,
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:47]
it's also include the improvements
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:49]
and the cost of trails will
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:52]
significantly eat up the paving the
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:55]
trails of significant eat up the
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:57]
amount of money that's available for,
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:29:59]
for creating the trails.
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:00]
But then when I actually read the ordinance,
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:02]
I really like the idea of the
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:04]
definition from Florida Greenways
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:06]
and Trails because once and,
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:08]
and if the committee is allowed to really
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:11]
adhere to that definition of the trails,
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:13]
it's not just paved trails.
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:16]
And my advocacy for trails is probably
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:19]
overwhelmed by my advocacy for
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:22]
open spaces and also the advocacy
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:25]
for trails for critters.
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:27]
We have so many subdivisions in so
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:29]
many ways that we've broken up the
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:31]
the wild land so that our animals
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:33]
can't move around, move around.
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:35]
And I think if we stick with the Florida
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:38]
Greenways and trails definition of trails,
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:41]
we can automatically
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:43]
include wildlife corridors.
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:44]
We can also include blue way corridors.
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:47]
So it's not just paved trails.
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:49]
And I think that allows the advisory
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:52]
committee to create the right
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:54]
kind of scoring system so that you
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:57]
can adequately compare a score to
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:30:59]
a paved trail as you could to a
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:02]
piece of land that's connecting,
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:04]
you know, two different green spaces.
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:06]
And one of the things too, when,
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:08]
when the development that I see
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:09]
around Sugarloaf and everywhere else,
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:11]
one of the properties that we're
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:13]
really losing very quickly is the
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:15]
native land of the Lake Wales Ridge.
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:18]
And so I, I think,
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:19]
you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:20]
one of the things we really need
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:21]
to do is is to,
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:22]
to work on that and allowing the
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:25]
advisory committee that ability to
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:27]
create the scoring system to work on
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:29]
all the properties is really good.
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:31]
And then lastly,
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:33]
whatever the advisory committee
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:35]
suggests for properties,
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:36]
you guys all have the idea to
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:38]
either agree or disagree.
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:41]
So you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:42]
the scoring system I think is
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:43]
primary and you still have the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:45]
the authority to agree or disagree
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:47]
with the property expenditures.
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:49]
So I, I think this is a great idea.
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:51]
I,
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:51]
I loved being on that committee 20 years ago.
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:55]
And actually I hope to be on the
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:57]
committee again going forwards.
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:31:58]
Thank you. All right, thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:32:02]
Well, before I call you,
NOTE Confidence: 0.888371615
[3:32:03]
I want to bring it to the phones,
NOTE Confidence: 0.708656105
[3:32:06]
anybody online? Nobody online. So the
NOTE Confidence: 0.708656105
[3:32:10]
last speaker I have is Mr. Will Avenger.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:16]
Thank you, Mr. Chair,
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:17]
members of the Lake County Commission,
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:18]
this is a great day in Lake
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:20]
County in the state of Florida.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:22]
We strongly recommend approval.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:23]
The ordinance we have you
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:25]
have before you today.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:26]
And I mainly just want to
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:27]
thank you and thank your staff,
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:29]
particularly Miss Miss Parker
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:30]
and Miss Marsh for working
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:31]
with the Trust Republic Land.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:33]
We started this back in October of
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:35]
last year and just appreciate the
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:37]
spirit of cooperation and we're
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:39]
ready to get on to the campaign.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:41]
So thank you very much.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:43]
All right, thank you and thank you
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:44]
for all your expertise and your help.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:45]
Commissioner Parks,
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:46]
I was just going to say,
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:49]
so I appreciate everybody coming out and
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:51]
sticking with the long day so far today.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:54]
And it is, it is, I think will be a
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:32:57]
big day for us assuming this moves forward.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:00]
I I will take responsibility
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:02]
for putting in the 5050.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:03]
That was an amendment,
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:05]
if you remember the 5050 split to put in
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:09]
there and as well as the Greenway definition.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:12]
So I understand the concerns that
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:13]
you're you're talking about.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:15]
I wanted to be clear,
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:16]
just to reiterate, it was,
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:17]
it's not the intent that it would
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:19]
be used for construction of trails.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:21]
I totally agree.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:22]
One of the speaker.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:23]
Yeah, Greg,
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:24]
you're going to run out of money
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:26]
pretty quick because asphalt and
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:28]
putting trails down is expensive.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:30]
It's the land,
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:31]
it's a land acquisition referendum.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:32]
So it is the land that we're focused on here.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:35]
And it would,
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:36]
it could include part of our trail system.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:40]
As you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:40]
when we build trails,
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:41]
there's kind of three phases.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:42]
There's APD and E and then there's
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:45]
then there's the land acquisition
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:47]
and then there's actual construction
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:48]
of a trail that comes later on.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:50]
At some point.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:51]
This would facilitate,
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:53]
could facilitate the the trail advocates
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:56]
such as Greg and Mike Stevens for sure,
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:33:58]
because it could include land
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:00]
that would be used for a trail.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:03]
I just wanted to clarify that
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:04]
that that that was not my intent.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:06]
I put that in there only because
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:08]
I recognize the concerns about
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:10]
none of it being used for trails.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:13]
And we did use it in trails
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:15]
for trail for trail acquisition
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:17]
from the 2004 referendum.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:19]
I think some people's concerns was,
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:21]
is that we also bought properties
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:22]
out in the middle of nowhere that
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:24]
people potentially could never use.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:26]
But as just to recap the
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:28]
discussion from 2 weeks ago, it,
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:31]
it is the full intent.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:32]
I mean my full intent,
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:33]
I think the board, but was too that
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:35]
we're looking for the connectivity.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:37]
So lands that would connect lake with
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:41]
with the serving all the ecological services,
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:44]
but also for people too and
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:46]
that would be the focus of it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:48]
So I, I understand the concern.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:50]
I hear what you say.
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:51]
I don't want to,
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:52]
I would not want to do anything that
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:54]
would jeopardize this getting on
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:55]
the ballot because this is literally
NOTE Confidence: 0.882037698
[3:34:56]
probably one of the last days that
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:34:58]
we have to the opportunity that
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:34:59]
we have to get it on the ballot.
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:02]
So we we would not want to do something
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:03]
that could jeopardize the beginning,
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:05]
the language on the ballot.
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:06]
I would hope today if we
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:07]
need to change and pull out,
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:09]
if we need to put a word in that says
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:11]
that we will generally strive for 5050.
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:13]
I mean, I'm OK with that or
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:15]
I think it says that though.
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:16]
Yeah, it does say that or or
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:17]
we maybe we just add that it's
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:18]
not construction of trail.
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:19]
The intent is to not provide money.
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:21]
We're having that discussion.
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:22]
I think that makes it clear that the
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:24]
idea being that it's the acquisition
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:26]
of property and and the focus.
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:28]
The reason I think it's important
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:30]
to have that reference in the
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:32]
ordinance to the distribution is to,
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:35]
to show that it's a priority to
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:38]
have connectivity to not just
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:40]
buy standalone parcels only,
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:42]
but to actually be looking at how
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:43]
do we create a network across the
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:45]
county where we connect people and we
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:47]
connect places for critters to go.
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:49]
So I think we achieve it with
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:51]
this language and I,
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:51]
I think we should stick with it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:52]
I think it,
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:53]
we've worked hard on it and I think,
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:55]
you know, we,
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:55]
we've been able to talk about it
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:57]
enough that everybody understands
NOTE Confidence: 0.921129876428571
[3:35:59]
what the intent is agreed.
NOTE Confidence: 0.856671663333333
[3:36:03]
And, and again, I think if, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.856671663333333
[3:36:05]
if this needed to be tweaked in the future,
NOTE Confidence: 0.856671663333333
[3:36:08]
it could be tweaked. So I, I mean,
NOTE Confidence: 0.856671663333333
[3:36:10]
I, I recognize the concerns as well.
NOTE Confidence: 0.956985885
[3:36:14]
You know, if it needs to be
NOTE Confidence: 0.956985885
[3:36:16]
made more clear, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.956985885
[3:36:17]
we can certainly bring that up,
NOTE Confidence: 0.956985885
[3:36:18]
but you're hearing it a lot of the
NOTE Confidence: 0.956985885
[3:36:20]
advocates in the room or maybe
NOTE Confidence: 0.956985885
[3:36:21]
some that have left or listening.
NOTE Confidence: 0.956985885
[3:36:23]
That is, that is clearly the intent is,
NOTE Confidence: 0.956985885
[3:36:25]
is the connectivity.
NOTE Confidence: 0.956985885
[3:36:27]
It's not yes, again,
NOTE Confidence: 0.956985885
[3:36:29]
it could include it would include
NOTE Confidence: 0.956985885
[3:36:31]
lands that could be have a trail on it,
NOTE Confidence: 0.956985885
[3:36:33]
but this is not to construct that trail.
NOTE Confidence: 0.78978525875
[3:36:39]
OK, Commissioner Shields.
NOTE Confidence: 0.78978525875
[3:36:41]
Well, the ballot language itself right.
NOTE Confidence: 0.78978525875
[3:36:44]
You you feel will pass.
NOTE Confidence: 0.78978525875
[3:36:47]
The ballot language is right where
NOTE Confidence: 0.78978525875
[3:36:48]
it needs to be. OK, Thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.6983767
[3:36:53]
OK.
NOTE Confidence: 0.680255134444445
[3:36:55]
Any further discussion?
NOTE Confidence: 0.680255134444445
[3:36:56]
How do you like to move?
NOTE Confidence: 0.680255134444445
[3:36:57]
I make a motion for approval.
NOTE Confidence: 0.680255134444445
[3:37:00]
I'll 2nd. I have a motion to second.
NOTE Confidence: 0.680255134444445
[3:37:02]
All those in favor say aye,
NOTE Confidence: 0.680255134444445
[3:37:03]
aye opposed. Motion carries 50.
NOTE Confidence: 0.680255134444445
[3:37:07]
Moving on down to Office of
NOTE Confidence: 0.680255134444445
[3:37:10]
Housing Community Services. Maria,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:37:18]
good afternoon, Commissioners.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:37:19]
Carrie Christian,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:37:20]
Assistant County Manager The Office
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:37:23]
of Housing and Community Services
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:37:25]
is seeking approving approval for
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:37:27]
the following approval of a local
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:37:30]
government contribution in the amount
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:37:32]
of $460,000 to Provident Housing
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:37:35]
Solutions for the proposed development
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:37:38]
of 81 affordable housing units for
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:37:41]
seniors located at 13550 Hunt Trace Blvd.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:37:44]
Claremont.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:37:45]
Payment of which is contention upon
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:37:47]
the developer receiving funding
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:37:48]
through the Low Income Housing Tax
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:37:50]
Credit Program offered through the
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:37:52]
Florida Housing Finance Corporation.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:37:54]
Also, approval of funding
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:37:55]
through the HUD Home Program,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:37:57]
providing that the project meets the
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:00]
eligibility standards and then finally
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:02]
authorizing the Chairman to execute
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:05]
the Local Government Verification of
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:07]
Contribution Loan form to be submitted
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:10]
with the LIHTC program application.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:13]
So the funding of $460,000
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:16]
is fully funded by a grant.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:20]
Unfortunately, Mr.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:21]
Hank Dunn, Mr.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:22]
Steve Smith had to leave.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:24]
They had prior commitments,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:25]
but they wanted me to provide
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:28]
a few speaking points for you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:31]
Measure where I think it was about three
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:34]
years ago they came to the board and
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:37]
received approval to build about 70 units,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:40]
phase one for senior living,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:42]
that they are full,
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:44]
completely full.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:45]
And right now they have 200
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:48]
seniors on waiting list.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:49]
So there's a great need and they just
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:52]
wanted me to pass that information along.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:56]
OK, It's a public hearing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:58]
Anybody in the audience
NOTE Confidence: 0.7662461
[3:38:59]
want to speak on this?
NOTE Confidence: 0.815748172857143
[3:39:02]
Yeah, I've got a card for Steve,
NOTE Confidence: 0.815748172857143
[3:39:04]
but he he left right,
NOTE Confidence: 0.815748172857143
[3:39:06]
So there's no card for him.
NOTE Confidence: 0.815748172857143
[3:39:08]
Anybody online,
NOTE Confidence: 0.815748172857143
[3:39:09]
anybody else in the audience
NOTE Confidence: 0.815748172857143
[3:39:11]
would just speak on this issue.
NOTE Confidence: 0.815748172857143
[3:39:13]
Bringing it back to the board, move
NOTE Confidence: 0.787673643333333

[3:39:36]
Subdivision Rd. Maintenance.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:39:37]
MSBU have a little bit of background
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:39:40]
in the assessment discussion itself
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:39:42]
and a recommendation. The background.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:39:45]
The Internal Subdivision, Rd.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:39:47]
Maintenance Municipal Services Benefit Unit,
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714

[3:39:53]
on September 12th, 2023.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:39:54]
The purpose of the MSBU is to provide a
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:39:57]
funding mechanism for the maintenance
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:39:59]
of county maintained public roads
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:01]
within newly approved subdivisions.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:03]
The MSBU will provide a good
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:05]
state of repair for Rd.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:06]
surfacing, sidewalks,
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:07]
curbs or motor systems, St.

[3:40:09]
trimming, St.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:10]
lighting, associated infrastructure.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:12]
For fiscal year 2025,
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:14]
only one subdivision has been completed
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:17]
and ready to add to the MSBU assessment.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:20]
Edgemont is located off Sawgrass Bay Blvd.,
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:22]
South of the City of Claremont.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:25]
The Edgemont PUD was approved by
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:27]
the Board under Ordinance 2018,
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:28]
Dash 56 on November 20th,
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:30]
2018 and the plat of Edgemont
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:33]
includes the acceptance of an
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:34]
MSBU to be established for Rd.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:36]
maintenance so that specifically
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:38]
mentioned on the plat.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:39]
The Edgemont subdivision is located
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:41]
here off Sawgrass Bay Blvd.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:43]
92 plaited residential lots.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:45]
Typical lot size 50 by 110 the criteria
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:50]
for calculation of the maintenance costs.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:52]
You know this is in general not
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:54]
specific necessary to Edgemont
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:55]
but length and width of Rd.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:57]
whether has curb and gutter
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:40:59]
or swell drainage,
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:00]
whether has sidewalks on one side,
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:02]
both sides or none.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:03]
Whether it's got trees that are
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:05]
planted that need to be trimmed,
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:06]
stormwater drainage and other
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:08]
infrastructure and that you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:10]
as these go forward for
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:11]
next year as any are added,
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:13]
then those are the things that are looked at.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:15]
And each subdivision will be unique as far
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:18]
as what the estimate is to maintain it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:21]
You know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:21]
lower lot density,
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:23]
the number you know per lot will
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:25]
be less than higher and whether
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:26]
it's got higher lot density will
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:28]
be more dependent on curbs and
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:30]
sidewalks and those kind of things.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:31]
So this is what we looked at for Edgemont.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:35]
So what we want to what we want to
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:38]
do with this new program with MSB US
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:41]
is sort of is look at maintaining
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:44]
the roadway pavement during its
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:46]
lifetime and not just every 20 or
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:50]
25 years waiting to it's in a really
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:53]
bad condition and then looking for overlay.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:56]
So this is a pavement management
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:41:58]
system and it's the first one
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:42:00]
step that we're going into as we
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:42:02]
go forward with this.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:42:03]
And and so,
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:42:04]
So what we do is the first years of
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:42:07]
three or six you pavements get, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:42:09]
it's hot, it's a little brittle.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:42:11]
You put a pavement rejuvenator rejuvenator
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:42:13]
on there and that keeps it from cracking,
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:42:15]
you know, keeps it sealed years 10 to 14,
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:42:18]
perhaps a fog seal,
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:42:20]
which is a little bit more.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:42:22]
And between 15 and 20,
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:42:24]
the Cape seal,
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:42:25]
which is a not quite a full resurfacing,
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:42:28]
but it but it adds a surface to it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:42:30]
And then of course we want
NOTE Confidence: 0.678832474285714
[3:42:32]
to re evaluate these
NOTE Confidence: 0.749481584285714
[3:42:34]
on an annual basis.
NOTE Confidence: 0.749481584285714
[3:42:36]
We looked at long term estimates,
NOTE Confidence: 0.749481584285714
[3:42:38]
so assessment for years 1 to 20.
NOTE Confidence: 0.749481584285714
[3:42:40]
So this doesn't take into account inflation
NOTE Confidence: 0.749481584285714
[3:42:43]
or the the cost of improvements out 20 years.
NOTE Confidence: 0.749481584285714
[3:42:47]
It's just based on current value of a dollar.
NOTE Confidence: 0.749481584285714
[3:42:49]
So if this is the total assessment
NOTE Confidence: 0.749481584285714
[3:42:52]
per lot that would just carry through.
NOTE Confidence: 0.749481584285714
[3:42:55]
Of course you know we we have to keep an
NOTE Confidence: 0.749481584285714
[3:42:57]
eye on those and look at them every year,
NOTE Confidence: 0.749481584285714
[3:42:59]
every couple years and
NOTE Confidence: 0.749481584285714
[3:43:00]
make sure we're on track.
NOTE Confidence: 0.749481584285714
[3:43:02]
So that's where we are with that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.749481584285714
[3:43:04]
So our recommendation then is
NOTE Confidence: 0.749481584285714
[3:43:08]
approve the Edgemont MSB assessment
NOTE Confidence: 0.749481584285714
[3:43:11]
at the annual rate of $230.72 and
NOTE Confidence: 0.902127214615385
[3:43:15]
that corresponds to a consistent
NOTE Confidence: 0.902127214615385
[3:43:16]
annual fee over a 20 year time frame.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:43:21]
OK. This is the public hearing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:43:22]
Your body in the public want
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:43:24]
to speak on this issue.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:43:26]
Anybody online seeing none
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:43:28]
bringing it back to the board,
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:43:30]
motion to approve.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:43:31]
Second, we have a motion to 2nd.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:43:33]
Any further discussion?
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:43:33]
I just want to point out two,
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:43:35]
this is the MSBU because it's in a
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:43:38]
neighborhood and the other was the MSTU
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:43:40]
outside outside of the neighborhood.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:43:41]
So this is like our first in Wellness way.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:43:44]
So I guess we'll be seeing South of
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:43:47]
Wellness way or South of Wellness way
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:43:49]
just S but have we have we had any
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:43:52]
other neighborhoods come in under
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:43:54]
to do this in new subdivision plats?
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:43:57]
We have, I have a lit, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:43:59]
we've, we started keeping track of
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:00]
this about two years ago when the
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:02]
board discussion was, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:04]
putting this on the plats and making
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:05]
a requirement of PUD approvals.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:07]
And I have of that list that
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:09]
we've gone through,
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:09]
we've got about 20 of them.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:10]
Some have been annexed into cities,
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:12]
some were private roads,
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:14]
some were say 5 lots and
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:16]
existing County Road.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:18]
And a number of them were say phase three
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:20]
or four of a multi phase subdivision.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:23]
So we didn't bring those forward
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:25]
because it didn't seem we would want to
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:28]
recommend only phase three and four.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:31]
Phase one and two aren't in the MSBU.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:33]
Kind of strange have only half
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:35]
your subdivision in it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:36]
So this was the first one that fully came
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:39]
forward as a single phase subdivision.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:42]
But we are keeping track of others as
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:44]
they come through and we don't we don't
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:45]
get a lot of there's a lot of the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:47]
a lot of the development is
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:49]
occurring within the city limits.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:51]
So these are just unincorporated areas.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:53]
Now,
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:53]
if it were an axed and we
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:55]
had to establish it,
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:56]
does it get absorbed into the
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:44:58]
city mileage or does it stay?
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:00]
So the only way we could continue
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:02]
to levy the MSBU if it gets annexed
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:05]
is if the city opts in and then
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:07]
we collect the money and we would
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:09]
essentially give it to the city.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:10]
But otherwise, by virtue of them annexing it,
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:12]
they've accepted the plat and then
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:14]
they're responsible then for the maintenance.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:15]
This one's in Four Corners.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:16]
So it's yeah. But to. Yeah, to your.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:19]
That's a good question, Art.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:20]
So, Art,
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:21]
do you know whether most of the cities
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:24]
are doing some kind of equivalent
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:26]
version of that, an assessment?
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:28]
Because this is like a fiscal thing
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:30]
to make help it pay for itself.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:32]
So you would think that maybe they'd be.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:34]
I don't.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:34]
I don't believe the cities can levy and MSBU.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:37]
They have. I know they can't.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:38]
I know it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:38]
But I mean, that's why I said equivalent.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:39]
They have equivalent methods of doing that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:41]
I know if Mont Verds looked at it,
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:43]
but through assessments I've not heard.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:46]
Yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:46]
Could they could they do it,
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:48]
though,
NOTE Confidence: 0.658379976666667
[3:45:48]
if they did it with the county?
NOTE Confidence: 0.728498064444444
[3:45:51]
Yeah. You said you, the county can do it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.728498064444444
[3:45:53]
So if they opted in, correct, we,
NOTE Confidence: 0.728498064444444
[3:45:56]
we could, they would have to opt
NOTE Confidence: 0.728498064444444
[3:45:58]
in by ordinance and then we would
NOTE Confidence: 0.728498064444444
[3:45:59]
bring that back kind of like what
NOTE Confidence: 0.728498064444444
[3:46:01]
we've done with the fire with some of
NOTE Confidence: 0.728498064444444
[3:46:03]
we've taken over some of the fire.
NOTE Confidence: 0.728498064444444
[3:46:05]
I was just thinking about how this,
NOTE Confidence: 0.728498064444444
[3:46:06]
you know, sort of goes hand in hand
NOTE Confidence: 0.728498064444444
[3:46:08]
with the whole strong towns concept
NOTE Confidence: 0.728498064444444
[3:46:11]
of we build these subdivisions,
NOTE Confidence: 0.728498064444444
[3:46:13]
developers build them, and then we,
NOTE Confidence: 0.728498064444444
[3:46:15]
the public take over taking care of
NOTE Confidence: 0.728498064444444
[3:46:17]
them for the rest of all time, right.
NOTE Confidence: 0.728498064444444
[3:46:20]
Whereas this provides that mechanism.
NOTE Confidence: 0.728498064444444
[3:46:22]
So it's not coming out of the general
NOTE Confidence: 0.728498064444444
[3:46:24]
fund or out of gas tax money, etcetera.
NOTE Confidence: 0.728498064444444
[3:46:26]
Yeah, exactly.
NOTE Confidence: 0.833992188571429
[3:46:30]
OK, now I'm sorry for that discussion.
NOTE Confidence: 0.833992188571429
[3:46:31]
No, that's good.
NOTE Confidence: 0.833992188571429
[3:46:32]
Because you would think the city would
NOTE Confidence: 0.833992188571429
[3:46:34]
do either they would say, OK, keep,
NOTE Confidence: 0.833992188571429
[3:46:36]
we'll keep the county MSBU and let
NOTE Confidence: 0.833992188571429
[3:46:39]
them do it, or they would have some
NOTE Confidence: 0.833992188571429
[3:46:41]
equivalent of assessing 200 and 3072.
NOTE Confidence: 0.833992188571429
[3:46:44]
Yeah, but that's their choice.
NOTE Confidence: 0.833992188571429
[3:46:46]
I guess they'll run into the math
NOTE Confidence: 0.833992188571429
[3:46:48]
on that later. Seems like a lot,
NOTE Confidence: 0.833992188571429
[3:46:50]
a lot of these get may get annexed
NOTE Confidence: 0.833992188571429
[3:46:52]
prior to even come to the point where
NOTE Confidence: 0.833992188571429
[3:46:55]
the board could even consider an MSPU.
NOTE Confidence: 0.833992188571429
[3:46:56]
You know, they get approved and
NOTE Confidence: 0.833992188571429
[3:46:57]
they get annexed, you know, So,
NOTE Confidence: 0.833992188571429
[3:46:59]
yeah, that may happen also. OK,
NOTE Confidence: 0.860306707272727
[3:47:04]
I'm done. Don't worry.
NOTE Confidence: 0.860306707272727
[3:47:05]
I'm not going to say anything else.
NOTE Confidence: 0.860306707272727
[3:47:08]
He's been thinking about lunch.
NOTE Confidence: 0.860306707272727
[3:47:09]
He's thinking about MSP.
NOTE Confidence: 0.860306707272727
[3:47:12]
I'm just thinking about
NOTE Confidence: 0.860306707272727
[3:47:13]
someone making a motion.
NOTE Confidence: 0.860306707272727
[3:47:15]
We already did.
NOTE Confidence: 0.860306707272727
[3:47:16]

[3:47:42]
I'm not really active in Naco.
NOTE Confidence: 0.68298392
[3:47:44]
I don't think any of us really are
NOTE Confidence: 0.68298392
[3:47:46]
the National Association of Counties,
NOTE Confidence: 0.68298392
[3:47:48]

NOTE Confidence: 0.68298392
[3:47:51]
Charlotte County, Bill Truex,
NOTE Confidence: 0.68298392
[3:47:53]
who is a very solid viable candidate
NOTE Confidence: 0.68298392
[3:47:55]
for leadership at the National
NOTE Confidence: 0.68298392
[3:47:57]
Association of Counties level.
NOTE Confidence: 0.68298392
[3:47:59]
So the request is that we just provide some
NOTE Confidence: 0.68298392
[3:48:02]
kind of approval to give our proxy vote.
NOTE Confidence: 0.68298392
[3:48:05]
I'm not going to go to the conference,
NOTE Confidence: 0.68298392
[3:48:06]
but we just would give a proxy vote
NOTE Confidence: 0.68298392
[3:48:09]
to the to the Florida Association
NOTE Confidence: 0.68298392
[3:48:11]

[3:48:13]
Truex from Charlotte County.
NOTE Confidence: 0.68298392

NOTE Confidence: 0.68298392
[3:48:20]

NOTE Confidence: 0.68298392
[3:48:25]
Yeah, exactly.
NOTE Confidence: 0.68298392
[3:48:28]
So there's no, no questions on that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.68298392
[3:48:30]
I'll just make a motion.
NOTE Confidence: 0.68298392
[3:48:31]

[3:49:00]
value Adjustment board.
NOTE Confidence: 0.703567529130435
[3:49:02]
Commissioner Blake and Commissioner
NOTE Confidence: 0.703567529130435
[3:49:04]
Shields were served on the
NOTE Confidence: 0.703567529130435
[3:49:06]
Value Adjustment Board in 2023.
NOTE Confidence: 0.703567529130435
[3:49:08]
I'll make a motion for another year.
NOTE Confidence: 0.703567529130435
[3:49:12]
That would. That would be nice,
NOTE Confidence: 0.703567529130435
[3:49:13]
but we cannot include Commissioner
NOTE Confidence: 0.703567529130435
[3:49:14]
Blake on that one. I'm just kidding.
NOTE Confidence: 0.703567529130435
[3:49:17]
I know there would be a little problem
NOTE Confidence: 0.703567529130435
[3:49:19]
with that. Yeah, there would be.
NOTE Confidence: 0.703567529130435
[3:49:23]
So, Commissioner Shields,
NOTE Confidence: 0.703567529130435
[3:49:24]
are you willing to continue on? Sure.
NOTE Confidence: 0.703567529130435
[3:49:27]
Let me just throw this out there. I mean,
NOTE Confidence: 0.703567529130435
[3:49:30]
he is up for election and I don't know.
NOTE Confidence: 0.703567529130435
[3:49:32]
I'm looking at the clerk's office when
NOTE Confidence: 0.703567529130435
[3:49:34]
Value Adjustment Board begins to meet.
NOTE Confidence: 0.703567529130435
[3:49:36]
You guys know generally when that is?
NOTE Confidence: 0.703567529130435
[3:49:38]
Would it be after election?
NOTE Confidence: 0.703567529130435
[3:49:40]
Is it?
NOTE Confidence: 0.703567529130435
[3:49:41]
I think it starts September.
NOTE Confidence: 0.703567529130435
[3:49:43]
It's when you get your it's in September.
NOTE Confidence: 0.703567529130435
[3:49:46]
They start sending notices
NOTE Confidence: 0.594595893
[3:49:53]
like advertising things in July and then
NOTE Confidence: 0.594595893
[3:49:55]
the meeting start, I think. Yeah, so,
NOTE Confidence: 0.594595893
[3:49:57]
So in order to not have any confusion,
NOTE Confidence: 0.594595893
[3:49:59]
there's three of us up here for re election.
NOTE Confidence: 0.594595893
[3:50:02]
There's only two people up here and,
NOTE Confidence: 0.594595893
[3:50:04]
oh, the number is 2 that we need.
NOTE Confidence: 0.936299018181818
[3:50:10]
I was just testing it to see if you were on.
NOTE Confidence: 0.936299018181818
[3:50:13]
But I, you know, I'm,
NOTE Confidence: 0.936299018181818
[3:50:14]
I guess I'm prepared to be on it again.
NOTE Confidence: 0.936299018181818
[3:50:15]
But Commissioner Parks, you know what?
NOTE Confidence: 0.936299018181818
[3:50:17]
I certainly appreciate your dedication
NOTE Confidence: 0.936299018181818
[3:50:19]
to be on the Value Adjustment Board.
NOTE Confidence: 0.936299018181818
[3:50:21]
Commissioner Campion,
NOTE Confidence: 0.936299018181818
[3:50:22]
I'm happy to serve and I'm glad
NOTE Confidence: 0.936299018181818
[3:50:25]
to see that that my colleague,
NOTE Confidence: 0.936299018181818

[3:50:28]
So we'll have fun. Yeah,

NOTE Confidence: 0.936299018181818
[3:50:33]
the chairman for the Value Adjustment Board.
NOTE Confidence: 0.936299018181818
[3:50:35]
I think I I'd make a recommendation.
NOTE Confidence: 0.936299018181818
[3:50:37]
I was going to recommend
NOTE Confidence: 0.936299018181818
[3:50:39]
Commissioner Gambion.
NOTE Confidence: 0.936299018181818

NOTE Confidence: 0.936299018181818

[3:51:49]
This is not an either or.
NOTE Confidence: 0.718630301428571
[3:51:52]
That's correct.
NOTE Confidence: 0.718630301428571
[3:51:53]
It's different categories.
NOTE Confidence: 0.718630301428571

OK, perfect. That's what I thought.
NOTE Confidence: 0.718630301428571

College had a sort of master planning
NOTE Confidence: 0.540683016666667
[3:52:52]
exercise for what they're going to
NOTE Confidence: 0.540683016666667
[3:52:54]
do with their Claremont campus.
NOTE Confidence: 0.540683016666667
[3:52:56]
A lot of really good ideas.
NOTE Confidence: 0.540683016666667
[3:52:57]
So if you if you want to
NOTE Confidence: 0.540683016666667
[3:52:58]
get involved in that,
NOTE Confidence: 0.540683016666667
[3:52:59]
it's going to be going on for a while.
NOTE Confidence: 0.540683016666667
[3:53:00]
They got, I don't know 40 acres
NOTE Confidence: 0.540683016666667
[3:53:01]
or something that they're trying
NOTE Confidence: 0.540683016666667
[3:53:02]
to figure out what to do with.
NOTE Confidence: 0.780630645
[3:53:06]
Went to a a Business Journal
NOTE Confidence: 0.780630645
[3:53:08]
doing business in in Lake County.
NOTE Confidence: 0.780630645
[3:53:11]
Commissioner Parks was
NOTE Confidence: 0.780630645
[3:53:11]
there with me for that.
NOTE Confidence: 0.780630645
[3:53:13]
Had an early learning Coalition
NOTE Confidence: 0.780630645
[3:53:16]
meeting and then y'all got the e-mail
NOTE Confidence: 0.780630645
[3:53:19]
or the article about the trucks on on
NOTE Confidence: 0.780630645
[3:53:22]
Villa City and the residents trying
NOTE Confidence: 0.780630645
[3:53:24]
to do something about it for safety.
NOTE Confidence: 0.780630645
[3:53:27]
Had a big meeting there and I
NOTE Confidence: 0.780630645
[3:53:29]
think we're going to get that on
NOTE Confidence: 0.780630645
[3:53:31]
the agenda end of August. Yeah.
NOTE Confidence: 0.780630645
[3:53:33]
So we'll we'll talk about that then.
NOTE Confidence: 0.780630645
[3:53:36]
Thank you
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:53:39]
Commissioner Parks.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:53:40]
Just also want to say that
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:53:42]
doing doing business in Lake,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:53:43]
I thought was a great event
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:53:45]
Mcclaremont last week.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:53:46]
So thanks for the staff and we
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:53:48]
we supported that and sponsored
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:53:50]
it and it went over very well.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:53:52]
It's good way to present the county.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:53:54]
So thank you.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:53:56]
And then just wanted to see if so off of the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:01]
the comprehensive plan
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:02]
discussion that we had earlier.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:04]
It would be a really good time,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:05]
I think for communications to let
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:09]
everybody know that we're going
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:10]
to be going into this visioning
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:11]
process with the comp plan.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:12]
I think that's pretty big news.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:14]
I think the land acquisition
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:16]
referendum was really big for today.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:18]
I know you're being careful
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:18]
on how to advertise for that,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:20]
but I think you, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:22]
you probably can't.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:23]
But I think for for the comp plan,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:26]
I think it is the residents,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:28]
the citizens would would be,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:29]
I think it'd be good for them to know
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:32]
that we're going to be entering into
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:34]
this process of making some big changes.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:36]
So with the comp plan,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:38]
as soon as we get through the RFP process,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:40]
then we will start notifying.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:42]
But we have to go through
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:43]
that process 1st to get.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:44]
Yeah,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:44]
I'm just saying.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:45]
But you could generally you could start
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:48]
talking about it now that there's
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:50]
going to be workshops as Mike has
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:52]
said that are going to be coming up.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:54]
I mean, you can never do that too much.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:56]
I don't think to get the word out
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:54:58]
about it because that's a big deal.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:00]
I think it's a really big deal.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:02]
And I just, again, that's a big policy issue.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:05]
It's, it's outside of the budget.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:06]
It's one of the biggest
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:08]
policy things that we do.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:09]
So I,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:09]
I think it'd be good to let
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:11]
start people know now that that
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:13]
we're going into that process.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:14]
And then we could be,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:15]
we could be getting into some form
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:17]
based hybrid codes, who knows.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:19]
We don't have to mention that maybe no,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:20]
we don't want to mention any details yet.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:22]
Yeah, but you do want for that to be valid.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:24]
I think we want a lot of
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:26]
people to participate, right.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:27]
So, so I,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:28]
I'd expect that it'll take
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:30]
how long for the RFP process?
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:34]
333 to six months, Yeah,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:36]
but 3-3 to six months.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:38]
Nobody's going to remember today, though.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:39]
Well, that's what I'm saying.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:40]
If we start advertising it today
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:42]
and then it's going to be three
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:43]
to six months before we even have
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:45]
a date for a community meeting.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:46]
Think once we get a little
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:48]
bit closer to naming the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:50]
OR selecting the vendor to
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:51]
do the comp plan rewrite,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:53]
we can start advertising well ahead of,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:55]
of meetings,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:56]
a month or more ahead of meetings and stuff.
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:55:59]
I don't want it to get lost in the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:56:01]
I understand that,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:56:02]
but also people are going to,
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:56:03]
they'll be asking And so it's
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:56:04]
easy for us when we get asked
NOTE Confidence: 0.733685171538462
[3:56:06]
about it that we're going to be
NOTE Confidence: 0.884595294090909
[3:56:07]
doing that. You point to
NOTE Confidence: 0.884595294090909
[3:56:09]
some media that we've done.
NOTE Confidence: 0.884595294090909
[3:56:11]
So I, I'm just one guy,
NOTE Confidence: 0.884595294090909
[3:56:14]
but I think that would be
NOTE Confidence: 0.884595294090909
[3:56:15]
something we, you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.884595294090909
[3:56:16]
you'd want to start talking about.
NOTE Confidence: 0.375532235
[3:56:20]
Commissioner can't be home.
NOTE Confidence: 0.375532235
[3:56:23]
Let's see, just update yesterday I
NOTE Confidence: 0.375532235
[3:56:26]
went to our transportation disadvantage
NOTE Confidence: 0.375532235
[3:56:28]
coordinating board meeting and you
NOTE Confidence: 0.375532235
[3:56:31]
know we meet there at the MPO office
NOTE Confidence: 0.375532235
[3:56:34]
and our paratransit ridership is,
NOTE Confidence: 0.375532235
[3:56:37]
is up significantly.
NOTE Confidence: 0.375532235
[3:56:40]
Our life sustaining trips
NOTE Confidence: 0.375532235
[3:56:42]
in particular are much,
NOTE Confidence: 0.375532235
[3:56:44]
much higher this year
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:56:49]
from the standpoint of being
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:56:51]
able to provide the service.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:56:52]
I think they're down like
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:56:54]
five or six drivers.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:56:56]
They've had some folks that they've
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:00]
lost just because of serious illnesses
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:03]
and things like that trying to,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:06]
but that's creating a deficiency.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:08]
You know, we're having some issues.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:11]
People are trying to get their rides
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:13]
and they can't get their rides.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:14]
But one really great statistic we learned
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:17]
about was the on time percentage is like 96%.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:21]
So that's a huge, huge improvement.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:23]
But it's, it's a,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:26]
it's a difficult thing to coordinate
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:28]
those trips because they're by
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:30]
appointment and you have a certain number
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:32]
of people that sometimes they don't,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:34]
they make their appointment there,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:35]
they don't show or they make their
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:38]
appointment bus drivers late.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:39]
They get to their appointment,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:40]
their doctor's appointment late and they
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:42]
get charged if they're not there on time.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:44]
So we had a member of the public come
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:47]
in and talk to us about wanting to add
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:49]
a route to Ocala because of specialists
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:52]
that are in Ocala that they don't have here.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:55]
So it's,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:56]
you'd be surprised just because I've
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:57:59]
immersed in this and I'm aware of it,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:01]
but you'd be surprised how many people
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:03]
in Lake County depend upon this,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:04]
the service to be able to get to
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:06]
their doctor's appointments and to
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:08]
get their groceries and so forth.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:11]
So, but we did this this past round,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:14]
our staff had put in for a grant
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:16]
for on demand,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:17]
an on demand program that would,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:20]
we were really hoping that we would get it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:21]
We did not get the grant,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:23]
but we are going to.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:25]
They were given the option of
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:27]
taking half of being awarded half
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:28]
the money and they decided we can't
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:31]
run the program for half the money.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:33]
So they're,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:34]
they're reapplying and putting
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:35]
together another grant,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:37]
but they shared someone that was
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:39]
there from dot shared with us
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:41]
and some of the other folks that
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:42]
were there were aware of it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:43]
Volusia County has put together using the
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:45]
same grant and on demand system where
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:48]
they actually bought all the vehicles.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:51]
They have the drivers,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:52]
they run the whole program.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:53]
And it's not just for paratransit.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:58:57]
You can use it for any resident in,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:59:00]
in Volusia County can use it.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:59:03]
They actually got rid of a couple of
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:59:04]
their bus routes that were internal,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:59:05]
I think to the land itself in
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:59:08]
order to come up with the funds
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:59:09]
to be able to provide the service.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:59:11]
What they were looking at is people
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:59:13]
have been taking shorter trips and
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:59:14]
being able to have a way to get
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:59:17]
there as opposed to having the,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:59:19]
you know,
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:59:20]
they're circulating routes in two locations.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:59:22]
I think that's how they described
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:59:23]
that they were able to make it work.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:59:25]
But it's fascinating because it
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:59:27]
seems that that would be a much more
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:59:31]
economical way to be able to get
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:59:33]
people where they need to go and
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282
[3:59:34]
do it more efficient, efficiently.
NOTE Confidence: 0.91298282

[3:59:40]
that grant again and hopefully put
NOTE Confidence: 0.901449972307692
[3:59:42]
something together that we can get
NOTE Confidence: 0.901449972307692

Yeah, I just want to mention one thing.
NOTE Confidence: 0.462563015
[4:00:11]
Apparently this was printed in March,
NOTE Confidence: 0.462563015
[4:00:13]
but I didn't really sit down and
NOTE Confidence: 0.462563015
[4:00:14]

NOTE Confidence: 0.462563015
[4:00:15]
But the visit Lake magazine that they
NOTE Confidence: 0.462563015
[4:00:17]

NOTE Confidence: 0.462563015
[4:00:19]
whoever else was involved
NOTE Confidence: 0.462563015
[4:00:20]

NOTE Confidence: 0.462563015
[4:00:22]

NOTE Confidence: 0.462563015
[4:00:25]

NOTE Confidence: 0.462563015
[4:00:28]

NOTE Confidence: 0.462563015
[4:00:31]
Took it home and showed it to my kids.
NOTE Confidence: 0.462563015
[4:00:32]
They were impressed too.
NOTE Confidence: 0.462563015
[4:00:33]
