obviously we have a full room of public comment board members any questions before we take public comment i'd rather listen to the public first yeah okay so if you're here to speak on this item please um well we have a sign up listen yes all right so we'll go through our list uh john russell so please state your name and address uh for the record and you'll have three minutes second all in favor aye opposed thank you my name is john russell i live in 96 52 cavendish court which is in the heritage lakes community on the and we our personal property is right on the border with the oaks park the north side my purpose here today is to strongly disagree with the fifty thousand dollar charge for clearing the oaks park property the accumulated trash and debris on subject property was not placed there by anything anyone from heritage lake village and i doubt that it's possible to determine the real people who have caused that the 50 000 is excessive especially since the parks and recreation and natural resources department estimated and i quote the initial cost to be approximately thousand dollars to clean up the park the remainder of the balance will be used for ongoing cleanup efforts throughout the life of the msbu additionally we do not understand the methodology used to determine the correct number of erus since the number has changed several times over the course of the msbu a bit of background information may help understand where i'm coming from yolk's first the oaks park msbu was approved on september 28 2021 with an implementation date of january 1 2023 we seem to be right on course for that at that meeting the county commission also voted to change the zoning from 5mf to a code something like parks open space or parks preserve the code has not yet been changed can you tell us when the new zoning code will be in effect and what it will be perhaps and hopefully fall under maybe chapter 800 natural and cultural resources protection an additional bit of background about me i retired from the city of clearwater after 28 plus years over 20 of those years were with parks and recreation i was the maintenance coordinator for 176 parks during the time i served the department we had many instances of illegal dumping on park property some folks were kind enough to include their personal information so we could turn that over to clearwater police department could track them down as to the rest of the trash we never ever dumped these costs on the

neighboring communities all of the trash removal expenses were included in our general fund budget in closing i have included some photographs on page two of what i've passed out to show the current conditions of the oaks park thank you very much that's quite a tree house [Applause] okay who do you have next mr fred calucci and who's after um cindy fargo cindy if you could line up behind fred that would be great i have a resolution that's receiving file again all in favor aye thank you good morning ladies and gentlemen my name is fred kalucci and i live at 9109 cotswold way in heritage lake i have lived there for 26 years and i've lived in pasco county for 43 years i'm very unhappy about the oaks park msbu project and how we are now hit with a bill for clearing the trash for fifty thousand dollars since the county should have never let this happen in the first place however let's clear up another issue pasco county purchased gulf harbors golf course also an msbu project for 1.2 million dollars and back charged 1800 residents for only 600 000 which is only half of the purchase price we note here that no upfront requests for the funds to clean up the property and no interest is being charged on that msbu now the oaks park msbu was purchased for three million dollars and the county is back charging 1710 of those residents for the full price that's 932 residents from heritage lake and the 778 balance are the other four neighborhoods in addition the county wants to add a cleanup assessment for the entire 15 years plus pay a 0.5 percent interest on the 3 million dollars the total would probably pay about 3.6 million dollars i think there's an injustice here i feel that pasco county is in good shape financially and should forgive this payment of the entire three million dollars please put a hold on this project and reconsider this matter at another meeting after reaching out to all the parties that are involved thank you for listening thank you cindy and who's that next step will be gene cepelli cindy fargo 503o gallatin drive newport richie florida before i start my comments i'd like to enter into the record our two objections that were timely filed with the board what's the receiving file second all in favor aye we object to our property being included in the final assessment role we provided the board with two independent mileage determinations indicating our property is actually 7.75 miles walking distance

from the only potential access point to this msbu property for property owners within our southern oak subdivision given this distance is 50 percent over the stipulated 0.5 miles walking distance designated for inclusion in this msbu we respectfully ask the board to remove our property from the final assessment role further there has been no information provided by the county as the if and when this access would be open to either pedestrian and or vehicle traffic we object to our property being included in the final special assessment as we continue to question the legality ethics and financial integrity of proceeding with this msbu and related annual special assessment it is not necessary to proceed with this clearly flawed msbu as the county has ownership of the property and can now ensure reasonable and compatible development no individual property owner should be forced into this fiasco there was a total disregard by the board for the rights of affected property owners to fully vet the terms and conditions of this msbu and indicate their approval or rejection of this msbu and related special assessments neither the establishment nor the activation of the msbu after seven years of dormancy included a vote by affected property owners prior to approval by the board we contend the board has abused their authority to establish an msbu for the primary purpose of raising funds from a targeted group of property owners as a vehicle for reimbursement to the county general fund for the 2014 purchase of the property in settlement of a land use zoning conflict with the county developer and surrounding property owners further we contend this purpose does not constitute the statutory requirements of providing an essential service in the establishment of msbu this special assessment places an undue financial burden on 280 of the 372 property owners within southern oaks who currently pay 300 per year hoa assessment fees to cover the maintenance cost of over 86 acres of common areas and open areas we own in common within our southern oak subdivision the annual special assessment under the msbu represents a 45 increase over our existing hoa assessment fees for the board to contend providing additional open space outside of our subdivision is providing an essential service is absurd thank you for allowing the comments thank you gene and who's that followed by william day dean safely 5030 gallatin drive newport richie florida i'm going to give you a little history on why we object to the msbu special assessments attempts by mike fasano and richard corcoran to obtain state funds to be applied toward the purchase of the property were veeded vetoed by then governor rick scott it should be noted the stated purpose for the funds requested in their bill was

to purchase 41.47 acres of property for the construction of a storm water retention pond to mitigate flooding within the heritage lakes community nothing in there would benefit southern oaks property owners the board informed and consulted with only representatives of homeowners association boards versus proper notification to effective individual property owners relating to options available prior to the action activation of this msbu members of any ho or board do not have the authority to approve a non-ad valorem special assessment on individual property owners affected property owners within southern oaks were never informed by the county or hoa board of the details of such options available prior to board vote to activate the msbu proceeding with this msbu is fixed fiscally irresponsible by activating this msbu the board is placing an undue tax burden on a selected target of property owners while depriving the citizens of pasco county a significant source of property tax revenues that would be generated from reasonable and compatible development of the property prior to establishment of the msbu county official matthew armstrong indicated under the terms of this msbu the county would own the land and further the county would maintain the property at it as it is county owned why do the terms of the special assessment include ongoing maintenance charges affected property owners do not have a full grasp of the terms and conditions of the msbu scant documentation has been provided by the county from its establishment in 2014 to its activation 2021 to the upcoming scheduled collection of special assessments starting in 2022. we have outlined numerous unresolved questions to be answered when did it become so easy to reach into the pockets of others this is wrong thank you and come on up and who's the next speaker william day followed by bill murphy my name is william day i live in riverside village the affected property i'm not represented by a homeowners association i'm a resident that lives on nile drive which is directly uh west of the property i don't want an apartment complex in the middle of my neighborhood or our neighborhood should i say um i i love what's happened in the fact that the county has purchased the property i fully understand what had happened with the state i was involved years ago with what was going on personally i don't mind paying 135 a year to keep land pristine i know there's dumping issues back there i'm very familiar with the property i think there's some simple affordable

resolutions to keep the property people dumping um i'm open to anybody that wants to hear my suggestions now is not the time to the place um fencing and stuff like that i just think keeping vehicles out of there and the ability to dump in there is should be the priority but uh the bottom line is is that originally this all started because a very large apartment complex was going to be placed on that property involving considerable amounts of traffic um now a lot of this may be hearsay but um i believe bus routes were going to go in there um you know a lot of people and a lot of traffic were going to be coming in and out of that property which was going to essentially affect a non-real main road area a a residential community not with a busy busy thoroughfare but now you're going to have thousands of people maybe i'm overestimating and traffic coming in and out of this quiet neighborhood my neighborhood is right in the middle right in there okay as far as who you're going to charge or what that i am not opposed in any way i think a 135 a year um i'm more than willing to pay that the 165 i'm more than willing to pay that as someone who's opposed to this this this atrocity proposed atrocity if some if the county's going to keep the property of the state it's going to be made into a park i'm all for that as far as light development more houses okay i don't want an apartment the old expression nimby not in my backyard okay thank you for your time thank you for your attention thank you very much bill murphy followed by chuck elrond he wasn't receiving file second all in favor aye good morning my name is bill murphy i live in heritage lake um i'm here number one to protest along with the others the official fifty thousand dollar charge for cleaning up property that should have been done for all these years uh also with the amount of things the information we have we have gotten different letters from the county from pasco county and one thing changes and another thing changes i think really at this point we would like to have some more time to look at what options and have things down in writing one person had mentioned of course about the property being rezoned right now from what we understand but it's not so um i think that charge is additional i think that should certainly be included if this happens in the purchase price the second thing i would like to ask about is um a concern about liability and its associated maintenance with that do we define committees participating in the msbu if it goes through have any exposure or liability for accidents or injuries

due to the county's failure to properly maintain this park whether or not it involves trespassers kids falling off tree offices treehouses or off-road vehicles are msbu participants covered by the county's liability insurance thank you very much we're going to respond to all these when everyone's done mr elrod chuck elrond followed by bob rock yes good morning ladies and gentlemen my last name is eldridge not elrod i apologize please motion to receive a file second all in favor aye aye my name is chuck eldridge of 9824 kingsport avenue in newport richie a little background on myself i've been involved in this since day one back in 2012 when we started at 55 we are 55 what was that we are 55 33 strong yes but anyway i've been involved in in a long time and i'm here to discuss and have concerns about the 50 000 dollars being charged for the cleanup of the oaks park specifically my concern related to the county's county varying explanation as to how the erus are calculated and how they were made all this information has come from the pasco county park staff i believe there's some confusion as to how the half mile is either from the center of the property or the perimeter of property finally we were told that this starts at the perimeter perimeter of the property and the last number we got that we were aware of is there's 1710 erus in the final calculation if you look at the math on this we purchased the property for three million dollars the maintenance fee for the first year is going to be i believe uh and the fee is going to be 164.80 and then they're going to add that takes care of the 50 000. we pay back the 3 million dollars it was 135.56 per year times 1710 units over 15 years that's three million four hundred and seventy seven thousand one hundred and fourteen dollars where does the four hundred and seventy seven thousand one hundred and fourteen dollars come from might this indicate a fifteen point nine percent interest charge as you take the three thousand dollars uh over 15 years and we believe the the count is uh well we have no idea what the count is what the eru is but over 15 years at 135.56 that would be 1475 units not 1710. and at the end of this

there's a picture of this i handed out and uh on the northwest corner there's a hundred 100 condo units at heritage lake that are definitely outside the half mile limit and this should not be included in in the eru the cru number is raised and up and down i think when we first talked about it was 1588 then it was 1544 then it was 1566 and now we come up with 17 10. and that's it on that part of it but i'd like to talk a minute on this letter that we all got from the parks and recreation department there's nothing in this letter says anything about the ms b.u being 15 years but one of the figures that they come up with it says the annual revenue collected from the msbu will be 281 800 93 cents now if you take that number and multiply it times 15 we come up with four million two hundred and twenty seven thousand thirteen dollars and ninety five cents sir i'm sorry your time is up but i'd really like to see a copy of that letter i've not seen that letter so um would you mind if i had my no someone come out and copy that and then um we'll give it back to you that's what it says in this letter thank you very much motion to receive and file no no we can't we're not going to receive that in file yet because that's his we're going to get copies for everybody thank you okay thank you very much very much yeah i appreciate your taking the time to listen to me sure go air force thank you i got a son-in-law deployed right now mr bob rock followed by donna receive a file all in favor aye good morning commissioners my name is bom rock 9417 stonewall lane here in beautiful newport richie my involvement goes back to the days of 5533 way back in 2014 and the meetings tonight that we had with mr chris here the then owner of the property that was owned by the county today and now wants to charge us an additional fifty thousand dollar one-time charge on top of a previous msbu eight years ago trying to figure out why that has happened it looks seems to me like the county has dropped the ball going back to back then at that time i was the board president for heritage lake from 2007 and was the board president for 10 years i'm currently the first vice president on the board today and i uh what i did back then was every year because that money was uh it's supposed to be uh allocated by the uh

folks up in uh that make the budget up in tallahassee that they're gonna pay back here uh the the county 1.5 million in two different installments at that time i got a call from uh then uh what the little lost my track here anyway uh i got a call on my cell phone at the money had been appropriated the first amount for 1.5 million dollars and and then i heard that the money was never was allocated but never reached the county so i'm trying to figure out what happened there every year i called mike fasano uh our tax assessor our tax collector and ask him if the county had submitted the paperwork necessary for this to go on and be applied to the homeowners on their tax bill and year after year after year after year no no we never got the paperwork from the county to get it included on the tax bills what had happened to the msbu that was approved way back when and never got ins to get ins instituted uh going back to uh to to that time and now the county wants to charge us an additional fifty thousand dollars on top of that they changed the radius on the property from a half mile from the center of the property to the perimeter of the property to include more more coverage and get more homes so what happened to the first msbu um and the gentleman i got a call from was richard corcoran and that the county has has done nothing over the last eight years that we've been involved in this property except cutting the grass i i gave the lady here some pictures of that on on december 28th uh heritage lake paid for a new drainage gate uh the the property over there was uh back in in 2013 was uh uh was dredged by the then owner uh uh mike uh or uh chris shurer and so as far as the county spending money over the last eight years on that particular property i don't see them doing anything or have done anything except uh doing the uh cutting the grass thank you very much we hope you drop your 50 000 yeah we're going to talk about that i'm sure thank you very much john donna mertz followed by paul mertz good morning thank you for listening to me today i'm donna mertz i'm i live at 10031 wheatland road newport richie and southern oaks i'm here today because i've been recently involved in this process unfortunately well through the years i was not a part of it and i now see how much i am

affected by it in southern oaks i feel that the board neglected to address this issue directly with the homeowners prior to this meeting prior to your voting um it was my understanding that there was some type of notice that was recently sent out not that letter but prior to that which we never got so when we got that letter we were very shocked that we southern oaks were more than a half a mile from the property which is in another development how we are now monetarily responsible for it um we've owned the property for 31 years without any incident and find that this whole process was not in the interest of the affected homeowners and it seems that it is unfair governmental business practice that violates our rights as a pasco county homeowner and i um request that you remove of southern oaks from this debt and from the involvement in this because it is has nothing to do with our development and then another thing i found out was you singled out homeowners in southern oaks so it's not even the whole community which i find very unfair and and also i don't know if this is correct but it's my understanding that well i did see that after a certain amount of years we're going to be responsible based on 31 000 in expenses which of course in 15 years those expenses will exceed that thank you for listening to me and i vote against it and i hope you will too thank you mr mertz has indicated to pass so tom summers followed by bill gillies bill come on up and get in line thank you my name is tom summers i live at 9903 kingsport newport ritchie it's in the heritage lake development i'm here today to protest the 50 000 charge for clearing the oaks park my specific concern is the law enforcement of this area well there's any of this 50 000 if it is approved going to go to increase the trolls or to the um installation of cameras trail cameras to help mitigate the problems with the illegal dumping and the guys riding the dirt bikes and the target shooting that's been going on recently a resident in heritage lakes had a window shot out by a pellet uh shot from about 50 yards away in the oaks park area uh that was a concern now just again recently there was a um incident where they uh there was shooting going on in this 41 acres and surrounded by houses and the concern is is that even

though pascal county sheriff did respond there's still these issues and what we're hoping for is maybe to have a little more um surveillance or whatever going on for this area thank you for your time thank you mr gailey's uh followed by and i apologize but uh bob mikey mike hi again my name's william gillis i live at 9841 elvernon drive in riverside village estates most of you already know me so i won't give you any more particulars than that but there's several things i want to say but i'm only going to say a couple first of all if this passes i would like to put my uh bill in for the twenty thousand dollars since i went over there the other day and spent about a half hour and picked up all the trash that was laying around so that's what's involved in maintenance cut it a couple times a year you're probably going to use county workers paying them i don't know 65 75 dollars an hour that's the case i'd like to help apply but so that's the case i'm signing a job basically i just think the number's a little out of line with the cost so i guess we just need to see some you know some figures that parks and recreation came up with that determined this number and i think we need to revisit it okay so thanks thanks bill bob starts with an m is there anyone else in the room that wishes to speak after bob because then we have two people online and then we're going to stop public comments so if you wanted to speak you just need to line up there behind bob good morning southern oaks uh we need your address we need your address oh four six four six four shaw drive or richie i i'm uh i'm okay with that becoming a zone park property as long as it's never developed and just stays as it is i don't know if that's the case the way the wording is but i wouldn't be opposed to that but the 50 000 cleanup does sound a little excess of all uh it's it's been the county's property for a while now so cleanup should have been done on a regular basis to begin with so why is it all hit now yeah there is people dumping their yard waste and stuff there but uh that's nothing new so i just wanted to bring that up and hopefully if it does go through and it becomes zone park hopefully it will never get

developed it'll stay as is and if it does hopefully there's sufficient notice ahead of time before anything's approved great thank you my name is jim conlon heritage lake i'd just like to know why they don't re-zone it and sell it for just private homes and this way we wouldn't have any problems at all thank you i'm gonna bring up the history here hello i'm miriam butler i am um i live at 4347 genesee drive in riverside village estates i'm president of the homeowners association and i just wanted to say that most of that all of the homeowners that i have spoken to and that is almost all are very happy to have the msbu established many of us had put in a lot of time over the years um hoping to see that accomplished there are concerns about the fifty thousand dollars and some of us were hoping that maybe today we would find out a little bit more about what specifically would be done for fifty thousand dollars but now i see that perhaps that isn't what the purpose is today so there are concerns about that but the citizens that i represent are willing to make the payments and are happy to have that land preserved so thank you thank you so much all right this is the last speaker here and then we're going to go to the speakers online good morning my name is henry noche i'm at uh 4420 oklahoma lane in riverside estates and a little background i'm a vietnam vet thank you for your service and over the fight for my country now i want to fight for my neighborhood from what i heard from most of the people there's a problem with the met it's not a problem with the park so we're going to get we're going to ask some questions here i would love to see it stay as a park because if you increase all of those people it's going to ruin our neighborhood or our properties are all going to go down so i think and i i believe everybody would agree if user readjust the prices they won't have a problem with the park and that's all i have to say all right thank you very much okay we have two speakers online we're going to go to one now and that would be vincent anderson it says lynn good morning uh one second is that as good as it's going to get there um lynn dude would you ma'am could you please increase your volume because we really can't hear you very well there it goes it is all way up there you go that's much better we need your name and address for the record okay there you go

all right we're at 90 40 warwick lane that's in cambridge commons one in the heritage lake community and uh we did serve written objection to this to you last week in accordance with your procedures we uh our primary objection is how the area is calculated uh we were advised those within a half a mile we're going to be from the closest point at the crow flats according to christina that we were going to be what's going to be included in the assessment but we have calculated and from our home to the northwest corner is clearly 0.52 miles away that is outside of the half-mile requirement and then we notice that other communities such as villa del rio that's directly south of heritage lakes they're not on the boundary map at all yet they're only 0.25 miles away so we object to how this map was calculated that the entire heritage lakes complex was included even though there are clearly a whole segment of us that are outside of that half a mile radius um at the very least if you do go ahead with this villa del rio should be included in that assessment as uh that would have the overall effect of lowering the annual amount for all and mr wiley i should have noted did agree with my assessment when miss starkey forwarded my email to him and uh on august 10th he did agree that that was calculated nine years ago and it probably is not accurate so in summation we request that our address of 90 40 or mclean be removed from the assessment and perhaps it do a better job of recalculating the entire map thank you very much all right thank you for letting me speak today sure you came in loud and clear next one uh well vincent was on the list uh i believe that was lynn anderson and there are no others on the list at this time unless he is wanting to speak no that's fine he is sitting here next to me okay all right so keith i'm sure we have some questions um and i'm just i think maybe uh come on up keith but maybe i'm just gonna remind everyone kind of how we got here but it's been a while and i don't have a timeline in front of me but i think some of the gentlemen here who spoke remember that there was a a request for approval of a site plan for apartments that were going to come up on this park it was not something that the county could deny there was a vote and to deny the site plan and we had board members who were personally sued because they violated florida law and so that vote was overturned and um the gentleman was allowed his site plan was approved for 260 something like 260 apartments there um in that land in the center of

your developments and um after in the time in that time all the neighborhoods around the park 55 000 what was the number 5535 and it was southern oaks heritage lake heritage lakes all the communities around there banded together all the hoas this room has never been as full as during that time when all the citizens came out against apartments in that area and so after that deal was done we spoke to the developer and and their agents and said if this if you would you agree to sell that land to the community that is around it and the count and they said yes we had meetings with all the uh groups involved and we said you can buy this land and make it a a park for your community because your community was developed as what's called a sub dri and uh it should have had a park but it didn't because it was sold off differently and the community said yes we would rather buy it than have it be apartments this is not a county park this is a community owned park within your community similar to what's happening in gulf harbors that we're only buying half of that piece of land so that is that is how we got where we are today um i know that um the senator and richard corcoran tried very hard to get some state money to purchase it but it was vetoed every year because it there is no opportunity for that to be a storm water pond there's no storage there over the years we tried to see if there was a use for the county as a park um and could we use that money that we loaned the community to to buy it from the developer with and um and we tried and the answer was no and it has no e-lamp value so we either had to go ahead and pay back the citizens of pasco county or sell it down zone it and sell it for development and return the money to the citizens of pasco county so we went again and we reached out to the community would you rather have um uh town homes or something that would get us to the value of getting our money back our three million dollars back would you rather it be stay in its natural state as a park we went through all those hearings and the community said no we want our park so that's that's where we are today but we have questions i think keith about how the boundaries were set and and some of the numbers so and board

for a one-time cleanup and quite honestly could be used for fencing signage it you know you don't really know ultimately all the details that you're going to experience when you inherit one of these projects so but it was a one-time cost and there is a reoccurring obviously cost for maintenance based on what we would assume the community would want to see for maintenance based on our county contract and one other thing i will suggest to the board and i don't know that it's adequate time or it's something the board wants to do but you do have these hearings for the east side in dade city on your at 9 a.m on your 9 6 meeting this could be continued to that if that would provide adequate time better yeah i don't think madam chair i don't want to make all these people drive to date yeah i don't think you're going to get all the answers and commissioner mariano being the district commissioner oh i'm sorry is it it started out when it started out it was the borders these days and that was part of the confusion because it started out as um commissioner fitzpatrick's and then it switched to me so i and they didn't know so i wasn't notified of the meetings uh so i wasn't well i didn't know they were going i like adam sorry i i like his ideas commissioner mariana brought up i think just working with the community and having those discussions and take that take the year and do that yeah take the year and do it i'm kind of thinking that too so in addition in addition i do agree with waving the 50 000. last year i did meet with all of the homeowner associations and they did come up with they did want to move forward to making it um open spaces and i would like to ask is sally still here or i did discuss and recommend last year put a motion in for the comprehensive plan for the future land use to be updated and changed to recreational and open spaces so it would not be multi-family yeah i kind of feel we went through the idea of whether it would be homes or a park and settled that one but for me i just i i feel very uncertain about how the numbers were calculated and the and the boundaries and i just want to make sure we go back and look at historical data of what we said back when we said we when we said what we were going to do in 2014 and make sure we're correct but good i mean judgment with the hour of time i'm going to make a motion i'm going to motion we continue this to the following year i want parks to study the numbers to come back with numbers but i want staff to go pursue what the value of this property could be for our for zoning to look at surplusing it yeah we have

so we can at least go take a look and take some bids in take some offers in to see what the numbers come out to be and then we can leave both sets of figures in front of the people and say here's what we've got what do you want to see all right okay we and i will like under discussion we did do that if we want to do it again we can put ourselves through that again but um okay christine under discussion at this time i so you understand what we're doing okay so last year just so it doesn't continue on since it's been going on since 2014 i was filled in with everything going on when i first came and i spent spent time and met with every homeowner with the homeowners associations and if they're if it is sold for a surplus and they and the citizens are responsible for it then the citizens should be getting back a refund for the surplus that is purchased citizens have not put any money out so okay all right i'm going to call the question one question question uh during this year aren't we getting extra interest costs against us three million dollars we paid for this i don't know if we charged interest i don't think we would have been charging interest on that three million i think the interest rate for the msbu was set on what the counties was getting at the time on their general investments i think that's where the 0.05 came from and so that's a pretty good rate i just wait a year and then we have an extra cost and i would like to see this move forward within the next few months as well not waiting another year to right before it's needing an msbu again we could have last year we discussed this and it should have been ongoing this whole time not waiting a month before so the budget the challenge with that maybe let the county attorney explain explain to everybody how it works where we have to we have to work on it so it gets on the tax rules so do we have to wait a year or can we no well you can you can if the if the desire of the board and the community is to surplus this property and make it single-family residential you've got the next year to do that the these hearings must be done at this time right so the public hearing that's had today was going to have to be done today regardless of the decision because there's a there's a statutory window that you have these public hearings for non-ad valorem assessments and this is the earliest you can do it but if if you're not going to do the non-ad well we either surplus it or we do that

clarifying clarifying the math and all that kind of stuff can all be done ahead of the this public hearing or surplusing it could be done well in advance of this public hearing that you wouldn't have to have it so you cannot address us from there and we're past the 10 o'clock so i'm going to call the questions this was agreed back in 2014 it was going to be open spaces it should not be going back out to move forward to for sale when for the past seven years they want us to be open spaces and now it has been going on for so long yeah it needs to be finalized with correct numbers yes another question all in favor aye opposed wait what was the motion the motion was to delay it for a year i think it should be continued i know but no okay all right thank you thank you we will uh have we'll we will have another meeting on this in the future thank you um we're going to move on to our 10 o'clock meeting now so in the next year then it can be changed to multi-family madam chair we need about five minutes to reset between five minutes we'll start the board meeting in about five minutes [Music]

is thank you congratulations all right so we're going to go on the agenda okay so board members we have an 11 o'clock time certain on the next one is that correct yes so we will go on to the consent agenda i have a pull list somewhere somewhere i don't know why things are disappearing today thank you okay all right so we have c34 pulled by bob gary on pull and revise c37 by eric breitenbach pulling revised c38 alex parnes colon revised and c47 is a withdraw by jenny sykes are there any other items for the consent poll okay good morning good morning are you emotional yeah i'll take a moment okay all right all in favor aye opposed and are you up here for c-34 okay morning commission eric breitenbach assistant county administrator for internal internal services c34 is a budget amendment to provide fiscal year 22 funds to support one-time costs associated with the transfer of the detention center to county operations this item is being revised to increase the funds requested by five hundred and fourteen thousand seven hundred and ninety nine dollars for a new total of one point five million seven seventy three thousand eight hundred eighty nine dollars this increase being requested is to support the procurement of it equipment to establish a separate and distinct jail management system per the fdle requirements the purchases for this item will be performed via the emergency procurement procedures in the ordinance and reported back to the board via noted item at a future meeting i respectfully request approval of this item as revised cooper approval is revised discussion please yeah i have a discussion too go ahead check all right so eric we talked about uh the funding for these items some of them were for penny for pasco uh are they all future purchased with the jail are they all eligible for penny for pasco funds not as the penny for pasco resolution is currently awarded it would require board action to revise the resolution for the penny for pasco to incorporate the eligibility for the corrections department as it will be known once it transitions to the county uh to be eligible to spend penny for pasco funds on it right if the boat's comfortable i'd like to see we make that modification so we can have the option to use penny for pasco funds rather than general fund money well how do you guys feel about that don't that you already use capital expenses for vehicles i mean funding for capital expenses such as vehicles so as currently constructed the resolution

under the public safety section uh is very specific on using penny for pasco funds for three departments pasco sheriff's office emergency medical services and fire rescue and so they would not create any new funding to revise that resolution would only allow the eligibility for corrections department to be used should the board decide in the future today it's covered under as because it's a subunit to the pasco sheriff's office it is not will not be no longer be part of the pasco sheriff's office as of october 1. so it was coming out of sheriff's office before so yeah i i guess since it was coming there before you would have to update the penny for pascal this budget amendment also covers vehicles the this budget amendment is general fund general fund dollars to replace vehicles that were purchased by the sheriff using general fund dollars however some of the vehicles that are transferring have been purchased in the past the pending property well i think commissioner mariano's suggestion is that we allow you the flexibility correct do we have to amend the penny for pasco to allow use for the jail so you would have to amend your resolution which currently sets percentages and allocations to each each group so as eric mentioned correctly right now there's a certain percentage i think it's 20 percent 10 percent goes to pasco county sheriff's office which the sheriff generally uses to purchase vehicles and other types of smaller capital type equipment the remaining 10 percent goes to our fire rescue so through fire and emergency management so you would be wanting to adjust that percentage you know through that resolution or you would have to adjust other percentages uh within the penny for pasco so there's no new money here it's just it's how you're allocating it in the resolution so in the in the future penny do we have the ability to add this the language your ballot language your ballot language allows you the flexibility for public safety we believe we could just wait for the new penny the language and the resolution for the 2015 penny regarding public safety and the language for the resolution in the future 2025 penny is identical oh as today as we stand here it's the resolution it's not it's not the battle language can we take it out of the public safety piece that's consistent with your voter intent but you have limited yourself in the resolution which eric is suggesting that we change at some future date if the board is destroyed to allow them to to buy things that the jail

and we can i think that makes sense can we look at the budget and the financial statements what the sheriff was formally applying to the jail how much funds was he utilizing previously from the penny for the jail and continue to utilize that same percentage or amount in the future i would i would i would probably back up just a little bit and just remind the board that the the sheriff's budget is general fund that money comes from the general fund and most of the purchases and the budget and the operation of the jail is funded with general fund dollars we have budgeted for the jail we've also budgeted these one-time expenses that eric is bringing up we've included that in the 23 budget we're just kind of fast forwarding some of these a little bit so we can effectively make the transition happen on one october there's just a number of expenses that have to be paid in order for that to happen seamlessly you know how that's funded in the future again vehicles and things like that and equipment or what the is what the pso is typically used how much of that actually went to jail specific items i think we may there may be some vehicles at some point that you know that are getting retired but i would probably venture to say not much but we can certainly look into that and bring that back again these are just one-time expenses again and if you change your resolution you would have to look at how your allocations are are presented there and is this already the is this already the same amount already budgeted for the upcoming fiscal year this budget or is it over less than the one-time cost we've budgeted in fy23 i just need to do this action now because i need the money in fy22 to buy them before we actually take over the gym all right so bring back to us the idea about adding massaging the little penny the resolution language and then let's go ahead and call the question on this one um we have a motion in second already all in favor aye opposed okay that one passes and c37 next one is me also again eric breitenbach assistant county administrator internal services c37 is to request the award of a contract for a county-wide procurement contract management software system the agenda packet did not contain the agreement signed by the vendor as a time of publication and this item is being revised to now include the vendor sign contract agreement i respectfully request approval of this item all in favor all right opposed all right thank you very much c38 good morning commissioners chair alex parnes passport county surveyor the item c38 uh recording of a subdivision plot uh it's being requested to be pulled and revised there's a slight discrepancy between the legal description attached to the agreements and the jointer consent documents versus the legal descriptions attached

to the hard copies um there's some recording information that is missing and this is for a temporary access easement in favor of pasco county so we request appointment replace where approval is revised all in favor aye opposed all right you got it thank you c47 is withdrawn all right then we will move on to the rs r62 correct yes man no cherokee just take it away yeah thank you ma'am adam there he is before i turn it over to adam thomas and and um our our other guest um i've talked about the telia words over the past years but uh this year we wanted to put on the agenda to actually do a formal presentation so all the commissioners and our friends in the audience and at home could see what the telly awards are all about so uh mike bishop's here and um adam thomas and that's right sorry um so the telly awards i'll just go over the tell you awards a little bit and then you can talk about the video more the tilley awards honor excellent in video and television all across the world and um it's actually an international competition so i'm happy to announce this year that um the sport of sports coast team um along with the pasco edc are recipients of a gold telly award as well as three additional tele awards which adam will explain to each and every one of you um a fun fact i'll brag a little bit on adam and and uh the edc team on this in the the gold category that they won um they actually finished ahead of a couple companies you'll probably know like viacom um cbs ahead of warner brothers and one of the i'm in the international competition that they did they actually finished ahead of a spider-man no way home movie promo which is pretty big so you think about how many how much money and energy and hundreds of people are working on this thing and go to old pasco county brings home the gold so with that i'm gonna let adam take it away and then you can show the video that won the gold and talk about the other awards as well good morning madam chair fellow commissioners thank you so much commissioner moore for bringing this uh this prestigious award uh to to this council um we are excited uh not only to win i'm gonna channel my inner lebron james for a second we didn't win one not two not three but four tele awards for pasco county for our live work and play uh uh right here and and this is um a great example of cross collaborations between two marketing agencies that position pasco county as a viable vacation destination and also a great destination and a great community and a great county to actually build business or

good morning pam thank you so much for being with us today good morning how are you i'm doing well thank you um florida is near and dear to my heart i lived there for a number of years so i just i do adore that state um but uh yeah i've i went to a little bit just in terms of geography can you put it on the map for our viewers who may have never heard of the sports coast in florida sure i was in a place called pasco county and so i flew into tampa bay and i drove about 45 minutes north of tampa bay along the west coast so i home based in a place called newport richie and that gives really easy access to the coast and there's a bunch of different communities all along the shoreline there so the baby let me go ahead and i'm just thinking the biggest city is tampa for uh for a reference point for our viewers exactly and i was north of tampa in newport richie and the main thing that i went there to do was to go scalloping and i don't know if when you were in florida you ever did this but this is like an easter egg hunt on the water i went out on a boat a captain took me and several other passengers out it was maybe a five or ten minute boat ride offshore and then we put on masks fins and snorkels and we swam around in the water along the alongside the boat and we we looked for scallops and so it didn't take long it took about an hour and between three of us we caught enough scallops to have dinner that night and there's a very short scalloping season in pasco county the season varies depending on what part of florida you're in but in pasco county it's a 10-day season in july but there are other areas it's a little bit different so we went out we caught our scallops and then we cooked them up for dinner that night and it was amazing it was so much fun to do and it was also really delicious to eat very similar to uh if you were on a boat fishing exactly only easier i think you don't have to fight the fish with a rod and a reel you don't have to fight the scallops so you just pick them up off the ground and tuck them in a little mesh bag but i did more than the scalloping while i was there there's a lot of outdoorsy activities you can do in pasco county i went hiking i went to a park called werner boyce salt springs you can kayak there you can canoe there are different places you can fish i also went to a state park called ancloak key and this is a park that you take a boat ride to get there and then you can anchor off the shoreline and then go hiking along the coast and look for seashells or tons of shells and one other thing that i did that was really super cool while i was in florida as i went to the world famous spring because they're going to talk about another county [Laughter] but again how awesome is that promoting paso county that's austin texas and if anybody's been to austin texas to ellison's a pretty big city lots of

people so you know hopefully it'll occur yeah i took one yep yeah um not too long well it's been a couple years ago um but it's uh great that we're getting this um free promotions i mean you're thinking about what the what it's worth in ad buys for a five minute segment on a very large market in a very large large market in texas so again um congratulations and uh that's all i have thank you thank you commissioner um okay the last two weeks have been extremely busy but i did go and with the staff and the team to visit pinellas hope and i know we've been talking about the different homeless population and the different outcomes that we could bring to pass different options that we could bring to pasco county so we've visited pinellas hope and hillsboro homes they do have about eight by eight foot rooms that the homeless could live in depending on where they are and if they are in that specific area they can work on getting their social security card their id and they also have one of the units for resources such as medical units and things like that so i think it's really important that they're able to get housing we especially considering our homeless population has increased 400 percent since last year it's really important there are many citizens that would like the help and then of course there's others oh and i didn't bring the pictures so last friday i know everyone was always asking about regions bank and everyone and staff has have been doing an amazing job keeping it cleaned up i drove by on friday and spoke to one of the homeless showmen and another gentleman that was just passing by on a bike i had gotten some garbage bags and they all pitched in so i think it's really important that if we get out and involved in the community and if they're willing to step up and help and we just have to provide garbage bags to them then spend an hour go out and let them help us clean up the areas so i think that was really important let's talk about the flooding discounts that was brought up in our last board meeting now it came to my attention that if you live in the unincorporated area you get a 20 discount as of now but when we were discussing with staff and they were here that day certain cities and municipalities within pasco county some don't get any percentage discount on their flood insurance some some get zero some get five percent so i think it's really important that we i was looking forward to working with the municipalities in my area to help them so they can update their code so they as well and the citizens in those areas can have a 20 discount on

their flood insurance because they don't so um yeah i'm not clear about what you're saying because it's the whole county no it's county-wide right the building department if they have a flood protection that they're doing their own building permits if in most cases and so they get their own crs rating if they're allowing a lesser standard than the county because your your ordinance is only implied in the unincorporated area oh okay so this is the municipalities yes yes so mentioning is that the city that some of the cities don't get the crs discount that we get oh they don't they don't have the same rating so the unincorporated is 20 and a municipality is zero and another one is five percent and i'm not there still are citizens that live in our jurisdiction so um live in our county so i would like to see the discount be applied to them as well so i will continue to work on that and see how much i can get done thank you commissioner mariana thank you i'll just touch on quickly the scalloping season i think it's we tried this year to get an extension of the time it didn't work but i think the great results that i've heard from other folks that are out there too it's time that we get the full uh allotment that citrus and hernando get so i'd like to see us develop something in our agendas with those new state representatives coming up to make that a priority for them to actually fight with us early rather than just waiting to get shut down by a bureaucrat from the state far as the homeless population in pasco if it's an increase of 400 percent i wonder what's causing it uh i will tell you that when we cleaned out the leisure beach area which by the way our team working with the sheriff's office did a great job clearing it out alex thank you guys we were out there just the other day this been all the those trespassing signs were up they were out there to clean out all the stuff and all the encampment stuff was like yanked out of there and down the street that's been cleared up quite a bit as well we've still got a lot of work to do on it um in that area there were some people who were busting or you ubered in for other areas so i really want to go take a look at where these people are coming from because it's not just coincidentally the economy's strong jobs are everywhere we can go to restaurants see all the empty tables because people aren't working there's opportunities that are out there we've got a piece of property at um little road south of 52 by the point distillery and where the water flows into there

which is now an impaired water body there's a homeless encampment that was there looks like it's defunct at this point but it's our property it's about 80 acres it's in there so i think i want to see the maintenance get approved in that area which i think we're looking at but we've got to go in there and clean out all the trash that's in there that's getting into the waterway which is not helping the water quality [Music] i want to complement brantford and the team with the stormwater project and sea pines it was a difficult situation because a lot of anxiety about what was going to happen out there but i will say between the associations that are out that's out there and i think and i'll incorporate with rainbow palms that was here today the project we have out there is going to go great we've got the easements all the verbally agreed to terms that we needed to make that project happen it's going to take 300 homes that are consistently been flooding for all my 18 years we've now got a path forward to go and i think it's going to be phenomenal and i'm just brand for what your team did i mean joao mo was phenomenal in saying this is what we need donald kerry was good about working out details we had a meeting with swiftman that actually ran on a tuesday night from 5 30 to like 7 30 8 o'clock and we talked about it and two days later we got a letter back saying these are the terms everything's agreed to pretty much so bradford you guys were phenomenal with that and uh today at item c-43 holiday hills it's a little uh development across from gulf um mall years ago that would flood out even when the waters were down in the in the river going out to the the gulf of mexico were like six or seven feet below the water couldn't get that to the canal since we put a pump in seven years ago they haven't flooded out since staff's put a plan together we've engineered it and uh looking very closely at the plan those folks out there are going to use the existing pipe we put in the ground seven years ago there's going to be a double pump lift station set up out there so even if one fails the other can go and that'll be a project branford would be looking to get forward to go forward i'd like to time this project as soon as that's done with the the stormwater improvement that we get the road paving ready to come we haven't done it because we didn't want to do it until the road the storm water was fixed now that we've got the solution we know the timing i want to make sure we sign we time this up and we want to make sure get this to the contractor quick so the costs don't go up and then time it so that as soon as they're going to be done we can have the paving crew ready to come in and fix

that neighborhood up once and for all which i think would be phenomenal um and that's all i have thank you thank you uh the administrator thank you madam chair just a couple items real quick just a reminder that our pasco citizens academy will be starting up on september 21st it's a great program um we still have openings it's open to team members it's open to members of the public and it's a great way to learn about local government and also our two good souls shoes and sock drive is is kicking off that's a good intergovernmental one that we work out with the clerk and the school board to provide shoes and socks for for students so just uh do we have the boxes i think they're coming up i don't know kathy yeah okay yep we need to get ours decorated is it there in our lives i actually turned it so i can see it coming to the lobby okay i haven't seen it yet yeah i think i stole some shoes out of it um okay county attorney um i have one that i'm gonna raise that i'm just gonna do it um so you have resolution 11-300 which is how you allow your property to be used for campaigning um one of the issues that we had over the primaries was um several candidates had a new technology that had not been really brought to anybody's attention i don't think the pop these pop-up tents to shade their the people who are waving signs and and being at the polling locations but having the ad of their campaign on it and so facilities um under the resolution deemed them to be signage that was exceeding the amount of signage that okay you're allowed to have you have limit you had you had limited signs to be smaller than the eight by four signs that people were using pulse total diggers and putting in the parking lot back when we adopted this in 11 in 2011. so the question for the board is since that that hasn't really been used in the past does the board want to revise the resolution to allow for that or do you want to just leave it the way it is i think since it's not listed in the resolution if your car is advertised and a car is a car vehicle is a vehicle if you have a tent a tent is a tense its primary sole purpose is a tent in resolution 11 300 it does not list anywhere in there and about a tent a tent's primary purpose is to shade your people that are there and to keep them out of the rain with all due respect to the commissioner if that's what the board wishes to do then i would request that you abandon the resolution to say that

i don't never really thought about it i think intense is intense whether it's the same well the issue with the tenth issue is if you put advertising on the tent to get around the limitations that we've set for the science you know hey i think i was the first one to do it i saw it um when uh we were um there was a time uh where we you could get a big sign and put it uh in the ground you know and it was like two signs the size of two snipe signs and i did that um in one of my elections and then um and so a lot of people started doing bigger signs around you know around the polling sites and so the board went to uh they limited the size of those signs and so yeah so you know that's an interesting question because we have the cars and we have the tents so i don't know i guess issue with the car i don't know we want to decide that now but the yeah i've never we've never taken a position that that vehicles that are wrapped or vehicles that have signage on them well then how's that any different than attempting because it's because it is a it is capable of moving and it's in a parking space and the difference is that they're actually attaching they're attaching these canopies to the ground potentially they are blocking visibility triangles you know there are tents already but they don't have signage on them so what is the difference if the tent has sign or signage or no signage so really it's not whether you can have a tent or not unless you wanted to say you can't have a tent at all but in the florida heat we don't want anyone to get cancer hello i'm sheriff my code eric breitenbach assistant county administrator the current resolution does address vehicles it but it requires the candidate to be on the premises along with if a vehicle is there that is wrapped oh interesting okay i just wanted to add that for clarification i've never wrapped it but i do have 1100 300. todd were you able to send it in do you have it you can pull it up and the commissioners everyone can see the resolution where did madam champion just just uh did this came up mr steinsteiner like what through the supervisor elections office or something it came up because both district four candidates had tents at various locations oh okay with advertising on them yeah i think you turn around okay well your your opponent your opponents was here in this parking lot and yours was in i'm inclined to say something advertising on the tent personally tents

are expensive and if we have to if people have to buy a tent they should be able to have whatever they want that's my only personal opinion i'm inclined to stick with what we have with the yard signs right well it wasn't an issue of amount of time what commissioner oakley i thought it was uh always just two yard signs all you could have within a certain distance of the polling area yeah it is that's all you'd have so i don't see why you'd have a tent with with another ad another ad or whatever so we need to just stick to the signs listen more yeah i mean i'm indecisive i mean i i don't know i'm kind of like a careless either way to be honest with you i mean i'm just being honest i've never thought about it before yeah i know it was clever they said it wasn't even thought said it wasn't the amount of the signage on the tent it was the fact that the tent was higher than three feet was wet was taller than three feet okay so i guess if tent was on the ground and my tent wasn't higher than three feet it wouldn't have been an issue all right so commissioner mariano i'm comfortable with what we put in years ago if people just followed to that yeah yeah okay so i think that's true can they pull it up on listeners who don't want to add any more advertising ability at a campaign can you pull up the resolution i'm fine with that i mean i just yeah i never thought you know any more than that i never thought about it okay it's not even addressed in the resolution yeah we just we just addressed it i've never seen that person before i've only been telling you i've not seen that either one or two polling sites so i've never seen anybody do it i i've not noticed it but okay uh thank you yep thank you for bringing to our attention clark uh nothing at this time okay um okay i have a few things um mr carbala were you able to show that location site that i okay you didn't see it all right so while i'm going to the next thing if you guys could put up the location of the property we bought at the last meeting um and i think this goes to your uh scallop suggestion jack and yeah we went out about five times uh scalloping and um definitely the most successful time was in pasco county this last friday we had donated a scallop expedition for the pasco education foundation and the uh the bitter the winning bidder um chose friday to go out so we we took a group um kyra one of the one of the girls here earlier uh was on our boat um you know we got enough to have an appetizer that was white fernando we went up to hernando yeah oh okay and we went to like six or seven places

it's the worst no he didn't go to pasco um we i would say it's the worst galloping i've ever had in hernando and citrus but um i understand that that's sick that's that scalping is cyclical and every once in a while um it just kind of resets and so we we're sure it'll come back but it does but they like the scallops like it's better chair yeah the scallops like pasco county back so it does beg the question when can we expand our season and part of the reason why we haven't been able to expand our season is our lack of facilities for boat ramps so i just wanted to draw your attention um to the purchase we made last board meeting we we closed on it this property on the uh cody river if you have your bearings that's catches with the red roof and whiskey river with the blue roof and we purchased this land um and plan to open a um boat launch facility jack i think it's in your district but we we kept we kept our mouth quiet on this because we didn't want to have someone come in and you know take the property from us and um the city of uh newport richie in port newport richie and port richie are all around in this area it's interesting um this is i believe that is in uh newport richie boundaries and they hope that one day this whole corner area will be something different than what you see here i don't think i captured all of the purchase because down the street to the south we also bought a little triangle of land that faces on 19 because we didn't have enough space for um boat storage um so so that could be it right there i can't tell from my photo uh but um the city newport richie's very excited that we made this purchase and want to work with us on a master plan for this area but we we anticipate having more boater access in the future we are also appraising another piece of land that i cannot say where that is either but it has another boat launch on it and so we may be adding that one as well and and then of course we have um the new angle river park that is being redesigned and we didn't talk about it last week we had that contract for the restaurant um being approved last at the last board meeting but the boat law the boat ramps at anklet river park will be improved the the the movement of traffic will be improved there'll be festival spaces um improved beach uh area and of course i'm very much looking forward to that

restaurant on the water um i'll be able to go there by my boat and enjoy the sunset and i think it's gonna be wonderful and i sure hope i can get a margarita or a pina colada there so i'm sure we're going to do something with making it a wet zone um okay so wanted to share that and maybe with these updates we can get our scout season elongated um thank you the um i want to thank all the staff that came out for our town hall uh two nights ago we uh usually have that town hall at metropolitan ministries but they are using that big um church facility at for storage right now so we had to move it to the um elfers community center which i think affected our um our attendance but um we had a wonderful uh wonderful two two and a half hours and um i'm happy to share that code enforcement shared that they are now out on the weekends and they've shifted their hours a little bit um i think it's 11 to 8 is that what i heard which is great because some you know if they stopped at five before people weren't home to receive the the citation and now they can talk with the uh our constituents and explain what's you know what the issues are so i i think uh those are some great changes um let's see do i have some other photos there that we send in trying to remember what they were of oh yeah so my next community cleanup is september 10th um actually i'm not sure if we have a location yet where we're going to hold the dumpsters i heard that we may be going just up and down the streets and picking them up unless something has changed that's that was the news i got two nights ago but now i see some um addresses are on here but we'll be out out there on september 10th uh do you have some photos from uh no other photos well then i'll save that one for another meeting um and i think that's it for me oh yeah so these are the flyers that we made a little while ago and i wanted to remind you i handed one out to a guy who was walking right down the middle of 19 yesterday um i was heading to a uh political event and so what time was it like quartered a seven oh there's the photo i want you to see and um i mean in moving traffic this guy was walking between the left between the two lanes to the left heading south

so and and we lost um we lost one of our regular panhandlers in the holiday area a couple weeks ago a gentleman who had one leg was in a wheelchair he stole a hot dog apparently and the store folks were chasing after him and he wheeled out into the traffic of 19 and was killed so you know this is such a difficult subject but i'm hoping that these flyers can help some of the people who want help so this photo is very interesting it's kind of hard to see it and here i'll just maybe i'll email it to you so this is reinhardt's i think seep or sipe he is the ceo of meopta in hall in my district and trinity they make glass um for periscopes and telescopes and tanks and things and this is he is in gamershine at a rotary meeting with the rotary in gamersheim and they're exchanging their rotary flags jack and they're they are going to start doing exchanges so and is reinhardt in your rotary yeah so this is the new port richie rotary and the rotary of gimmershein so i'm so excited we're gonna meet and talk about all the different things we can do to keep keep that relationship going so very exciting and i hope i hope that we get to welcome some of their rotary members here okay so that's it for me i think we will uh adjourn and i'll see you at 1 25 because we're going to be doing those votes on the mpo okay [Music] you
