i'm speaking on behalf of pilot country airport with the address 11500 pilot country drive in spring hill florida not california florida sorry you may proceed with your comments okay good morning commissioners i appreciate the opportunity to speak on behalf of the pilot country airport i have made a small presentation with eight slides maybe we could forward to the next slides of course i'm here because we are very concerned about the future of the airports in general for pilot country there is a florida statue 330 and 333 which was passed by florida in 2011 with a mandate to be implemented by 2017 with the development of sr52 and 41 there is a significant amount of new development that is coming around our small airport our airport is a public airport by the faa it's op it's a public transportation hub and with the new moffett research center coming in i can assure you that doctors typically would like to have airports nearby next page please this is one of the pages that was presented by pasco as their large development plan when you look at the florida statues we are concerned about four topics one is noise one is landfill one is hyde and one is land compatibility noise talks about the quality of life for your citizens no one wants to live in a noisy environment landfill is regarding birds that tend to gravitate towards landfills which are prohibited around airports that's not so much our concern the height is called the airport protection zone mind you i say airport protection zone not runway protection zone land compatibility is the responsibility of pasco to make certain that land use around the airport is compatible with uses of airports according to the florida statue the next page please in the meetings i have participated with which there is a commission on the airport protection zone implementation everybody talks about the rpz the runway protection zone on the image on the left it shows our runway it shows a narrow funnel that is defined according to the faa as a runway protection zone that means that's where the planes come in according to the faa there is a airport protection zone which is the yellow elliptical shape it is one half the longest runway our runway is 3700 feet one half is 1815 feet if you draw a circle around our airport you will see on this image that all the land up to florida 41 and north of sr 52 falls within this space this is the apc and that issue here is the land compatibility please go to the next slide

we have received a drawing that is being considered by pascal the zoning committee whereby there is a development to the north of the airport called the fletcher land where there are three story orders high density housing directly at the end of our runway the argument that the developer has is that it's clear of the runway protection zone ladies and gentlemen let me assure you it's not clear of the airport protection zone the apc let's go to the next slide we had frequent visits by the uh air force by the army by the navy by the by the guard the national guard this noises and by the way it was that uh one minute left after five minutes i'll go faster the noise of a helicopter is stronger than a jackhammer i'll grant you extra time if you need to finish your presentation thank you sir i have two more slides after this thank you commissioner um be aware that a helicopter generates 105 decibels now the problem with the studies of noise people talk about the dba that is the decibel average when you have a quiet airport and nobody flies at night or it's quiet particular days they say okay it doesn't matter if you hear a jackhammer sound or a helicopter it's only one minute or two minutes in in a one hour time frame believe me you don't want a helicopter or a jackhammer noise at one in the morning at two in the morning at six in the morning it is a nuisance to your citizens two more slides on the next slide please on the west of the airport is the new development being proposed by campbell and again people say oh it's clear of the 65 decibel average contours let me assure you this home this does not give a quality of life for the citizens this is a very big concerns for us it's not the noise study 65 db average it is the peak noise my last slide ladies and gentlemen with florida statue 330 it is a concern about land compatibility i like to read the blue part that says the character of the neighborhood uses to which the property to be zoned is put an adaptable and the impact to any new use activity or construction on the airport operation capability and capacity florida statue 330 and 333 which ought to have been implemented more than five years ago pasco is one of the few regions of florida counties that has not adopted this mandated florida statue and i would like to have the commissioners please consider the fact that we're talking about compatibility in zoning

neil carella hello neil carella i'm live at 11991 driver lane spring hill live at pilot country airport i'd like to express my strong opposition to the possible rezoning in the high density construction proposed on the north side of our pilot country airport the falls and the airport protection zone surrounding the airport specified in florida statutes 333-330 i'm one of the newest residents in pilot country and moving in november 2019 after building a new home and a hangar is my primary investment my largest personal asset at the time of construction between permit and impact fees i paid 28 000 just to have the opportunity to live in pilot country the planned projects will jeopardize jeopardize the airport and the future of the airport the sole reason that i relocated to the community was for personal and professional reasons i run a small aviation business which depended on airport access the airport brings value to the country and into the county and the state in myriad of ways including increasing tax revenues and it can be used in aftermath of national disasters such as a hurricane for supplies in humanitarian aid to the community state laws require proper airport protection zone around the public airport for its safety of pilots and its citizens from what i read and the fact that you've already approved high-density housing underneath our traffic pattern to the west of our airport it seems the board is using a decibel rating provided by the developer and its lawyers now the same lawyer that's representing the developers is the same lawyer that fought us and cost us tens of thousands of dollars to have a gun range shooting machine guns right behind our houses so this lawyer in this noise study as far as i'm concerned is is ridiculous anyways i'm getting back to this fourth that the nonsense the nonsense well decibel rating is based on a distance from the center line of the runway it's not actual noise rating of planes flying overhead in the traffic pattern meaning days on which these rings have been taken especially these readings by the lawyer representing developers for the property next to our suburbs will not account for lots of different aircraft and helicopters high performance aircraft for example taking off at 6 a.m or any time on a full power setting to the north of the property which is our departure area can generate a propeller tip speed of supersonic speeds which create a lot of noise and that noise is going to create complaints complaints that go to the airport goes to the county and puts our airport in jeopardy

so i would ask that the county would please reconsider any changing of the zoning that's there and put something more compatible such as home depot anything like that anything commercial industrial is better than having houses sitting underneath the airport protection zone thank you thank you all right uh next individual signed up wanda chastnuff hi mr mayor hi lord i'd like to say thank you for all the help you have to state your name and address um ma'am i need your name and address first my name is wanda chasnow 6608 status lane newport richie okay now you may proceed okay thank you board for all the help that i have received from y'all this is going to be my fourth time here for other incidents i'm here on to represent green key on the flooding i live in the front part of glen key where the motel is they're revamping the motel i've been to the city mayor about the ditches that are by the motel the motel floods and overseas green key and then comes on our street which is considered private property well now the road is deteriorating because of all the water that's there right now the fire hydrant is covered up if we have a fire in that mobile home park in front of us we're doomed okay because number one fire department cannot get in there and can't get to the fire hydrant all i ask is i know that we've applied for grants i know we're waiting i know franklin county just got 1.3 million dollars okay on april 8th and i don't see why is it that we got to fight so hard to stop the flooding y'all just dug out ozil i can take you on ozar and show you where the dirt already fell in and won't even drain okay now i just bought a brand new car this lap thirsty before last when it rained i moved my car to higher ground and guess what the rain was all the way to my door jam i'm not going to pay 21 000 for a car for flooding and i can't even get into my house or anybody else can't even walk to the school bus the man down the street carries his daughter on her shoulder on his shoulders to go to the bus stop i got two amputee mans on my street that can't get out they don't drive because they're amputees they're both veterans why is it that we can't get no help what did you tell me jack that we was possibly looking at the governor doing something yeah this board put up the application with newport issue for two million dollars and it's on his desk hopefully what do we know about that well we're gonna wait for him to sign the budget if he signs the budget we're good okay you know i'm i'm raising cain i want to stop okay because i can take you right now and show you how grown up that ditch is

and that no water can drain and also i went to the mayor in new port richie i asked her i said why is it that the county and the d.o.t because we're looking at d.o.t we're looking at the county we're looking at new port richie why is it that we can't dig out the ditches till we get the grants you know what she told me we don't have the equipment and you know what i said to her i said why is it that pasco county and d.o.t and newport richie can't come together and dig it out till we get the grant if you just drive down green key look at the trees in the ditch look at the overgrowth we can't get in our houses we shouldn't have to fight to get home the mailman can't come the city crew can't come they come and put barriers there would you like to not get into your home when you're worked all day and you want to go home and you want to eat and you want to relax y'all don't want to do the same thing that i want to do or anybody else and i'm on a fixed income i ain't got money to go out there and repair everything that needs to be repaired thank you i hope you have a nice day and i hope we get a grant bob one before you leave mike if you talk with her and just kind of like re emphasize they have looked in the area about cleaning the ditches and you're calling me the other day about newport richie not having the equipment is not there's something we can work with with them so you would talk to mr carbella right there as you well thank you next member of the public mike moran good morning commissioners my name is mike moran i'm the executive director for the florida pace funding agency my age address is 7596 seth raynor place that's in sarasota florida 34240. uh just a reminder i'm from the governmental entity that exists to bring hurricane hardening and energy efficiency financing to floridians this is all bonding that's done through our agency but it is um no taxpayer money it's all private citizen money um i'm here today actually given that we're a governmental entity and you guys are too obviously that we're required under the interlocal agreement between the two of us to give a written report and a verbal presentation every three years um with your blessing i'll put the written report to the clerk when i'm done here and then a verbal presentation um today of course but i'm just down in sarasota we have folks in tampa if you need or want us to come and deal with you guys or staff or whatever we're always available to you and just a couple of uh real high level discussions here one is the total number of assessments for the last few years has been just under six million dollars in the unincorporated area um the balance which is worth noting is about uh 3.5 million which is interesting that even since the inception is that already 2.5 million of the assessments have been paid down

by your constituents and that's an interesting number for us and very positive meaning that people are using the financing appropriately they might finance an air conditioner for let's say 10 years and two or three years into it they might get an inheritance or whatever a bonus then they pay down the assessment i think it's worth noting there's been some confusion on this when somebody does pay off they literally call us up they get a payoff amount and there's no prepayment penalties whatsoever so they can pay off so that's just a healthy statistic to report for you the average amount of each assessment that we're doing in pasco county unincorporated is 16 184 and which is a little lower than the state average that we see um but again it's an average it's everything from financing an air conditioner that might be 10 000 to a roof that might be 60 000 i would anticipate the next time i see you that might be a little higher just due to construction costs and just what's going on in the marketplace and again we're seeing a lot of activity related to um the statute was put in place to bring in hurricane hardening and energy efficiency but one of the things that we are seeing is a whole lot more roofs that are coming about um which will bring up the average of course but i think i'm just speculating here there's a lot of activity with homeowners insurance in florida and why the intention of the statute was hurricane hardening and energy efficiency we're just seeing a spike in the roofs which i'm again speculating it's due to people suffering from the homeowners insurance some of these folks that have roofs that are over 15 years are having trouble getting homeowners insurance so this is a finding financing mechanism for them and then chair unless there's any questions i will ask to be submitted into the record for the written report and again i can't stress enough we're available for any communication you want of course by phone or we can come back up and visit you guys let me ask a question if i could sure um when someone does a pace loan they don't have to have insurance or do they it's it's a we it's an assessment it's not a loan where we spend a lot of time and energy making sure there's a differentiation but i i get your point for sure the financing mechanism around that is is no relation to anything related to any folks that are living in the home it is by the way i didn't mention that it's commercial and residential and it's related very specifically to the property the homeowners insurance carriers um and any relationship they would have contractually with the homeowners are totally completely firewalled separate from what we do so if someone was to be in that situation they needed a roof to get their insurance rates down or to get insurance period which is going on and i'm glad the governor is calling a

special session to address it uh they're much better off doing this pace program they would be doing a reverse mortgage correct um i'm biased on that answer but i would say sure is that you know i say all the time there's really only a few options you have if you're in trouble and you have a roof that's leaking and the drywall is getting wet um you're either going to pay cash which a lot of people don't have you're going to borrow it from friends and family you're going to do a heloc which is always a great choice the reality is statistically speaking it's in the 80th percentiles they put on a credit card and i don't have to tell you with the rotating debt of a credit card of 19 whatever percent 20 in a credit card or they do nothing and that's what the motivation from the state statute came about is for get people to hurricane harden their homes and or make them energy efficient so um yeah there's all sorts of different financing mechanisms but i would argue that pace is a great solution for a lot of people but um heloc's and cash and you know those those are basically all the options that i just mentioned um including yours that you mentioned on a reverse mortgage but very much pace is probably better well and the reason i want to bring it up i think the pace program is a better option for us a senior that's out there that doesn't have the money or anybody that doesn't have the money to pay for the roof they need to get instead of borrowing it which you then have to cover and have insurance for it um if you didn't want it michael this lady didn't have insurance then now she's got to carry insurance with the insurance rate she's having a tough time making her bills so but it's a good option to have so i appreciate you your instincts are great you literally zero down they you you pick the contractor it's a big part of my life is making sure that's clear we don't bring contractors we bring financing they put the new roof on the home you finance it over the useful life that's as far as we can finance all the useful life of the product and it's a fixed amount payment and again there's no early payment off if they need to mr okay ask a question so what thank you what is your average um interest rate right now on these loans if you had to throw a dart and hit any one of our finance agreements you're roughly looking at the five to seven percent rate okay thank you yeah and next time if you would let's schedule an agenda item so we can put you on instead of doing a public comment would love to i thought i'd killed two birds with one stone actually we were required to do this by may 21st and giving your meeting schedule i thought i'd at least do this but again i can't stress enough i'll be come back as much as you want no worries okay

you've come for the next time i'd say just let's do it proper for more people to know you're coming fair enough any time you want okay to submit to the clerk second all in favor say aye aye all right thank you all have a great right um next person is jesus martinez i have to bend it up sorry uh jesus jj martinez i'm the vice president of local 4420 our pastor county professional firefighters i also live in pasco county 1611 ludington road wesley chapel florida 33543 i'd like to start today by thanking you thank you for what you've done for us in the past thank you to commissioners that have met with us and hearing our concerns pascua county is growing at an alarming rate we're being told that rescue 230 will be in service by the first week of may and station 9 by the end of the summer with that said i'm asking you for help rescue 230 and the four new stations on the go bond that the citizens voted on were needed for years ago when they were voted on the number has doubled as we near the completion of the first station off the bond and the second new station not a rebuild in nearly 10 years the number of needed positions is growing as well our 37 new hires is now down to 32 as many of them have left for other departments with better pay and better benefits we've lost seven experienced firefighters because they are simply burned out from the large call volume and the relief is nowhere in sight the county will continue to grow and the amount of emergency calls is increasing faster than we have all expected we've worked with our administration to do what we can to help with these issues pasco firefighters are a proud breed we love our job we love this county and we love the citizens in it but we're human humans break i i got a call from a friend of mine in the wesley chapel area he was responding to a call they just pulled in the station it came from a call the rescue was transporting and they got another call they were in and out of the station in 30 seconds the gps said they were 18 minutes away within 17 minutes the patient stopped breathing it took 18 minutes to get there and their ambulance took 23 from their station all this firefighter can think of what if i got there sooner what if i could make a difference i could be there we have the tools we have the knowledge we just need to get there sooner this is just one example of what is

the next order of business of the consent agenda uh right now i have three polls c20 c21 c24 and i will we'll also pull c48 um commission uh so i have a motion for the remainder of the consumer agenda second all in favor say aye aye any opposed okay so commission morris start with c20 we'll just keep them all together yeah we can we can keep them all together um if we can mr biles i think we have the assistant chief here steve caston's out today cool good morning how are you alright commissioners hey thanks thanks for being here today um i just wanted to pull these three items because they have to do with with fire rescue and i think going forward um um i'll probably pull every item related to fire rescue going forward because we have a lot of questions there's questions from the team members that are out there um jj was spoke today so i think in the best interest of our people that work for fire rescue as well as our citizens it's important to talk about these things that are on the agenda normally these are on consent and just for the folks sakes and the audience at home normally these are on consent because they are items that we feel are going to be deliberated they're going to get through with no problem and they're not controversial because they're for the good of all um but again since there's been so many questions the last several meetings from some of our friends in fire rescue i think we need to pull these discuss them just and discuss how they're going to assist them with their jobs and better call times yes sir so we can go if we can could we start with uh c20 and uh tell us what that's going to do for the benefits of the citizens of pasco county so c20 is kind of a piggyback for a board agenda item from last year we were increasing the amount of fire inspectors to improve uh life safety fire inspections uh something that hasn't really been done in pasco county um for many many years um this is the uh first eight and actually chief from is online too if i if i misspeak g from please don't jump in um this was this was his agenda item it actually happened when i first kind of started here but we're gonna add we're gonna start with the first eight fire inspectors and once that becomes cost neutral uh based on fees and other things with with crr uh we'll hire the remaining three with the bpi from last year out of cycle was for a total of 11. okay so it's uh that's for more of the benefit of um not just commercial but residential as well primarily focuses so our focus for the last several years has been new construction we haven't been able to go out and do existing construction okay um now with the increase of the number of

inspectors and this eight well i will try to speed up that process okay i'll move for approve approval all in favor say aye aye hi thank you be good see 21 and uh talk about that equipment and what that's going to do to uh provide our citizens um better service so c21 is a penny for pasco fund um or funding from penny for pasco part of it is going to help us establish what we're going to call decon depot as you know the board worked between us and the union for several years to accomplish what's a premier state of the art deep firefighter on scene decontamination program it's unlike anything that happens in the entire world um part of our our struggle so far is a lot of that gear has to be sent out for washing cleaning other other services and purchasing of uh the decon deco decon depot equipment will help us keep all that inside it'll be saved to taxpayers money uh it'll also increase our efficiency as far as processing gear getting it back to firefighters more timely fashion um the other part of it is uh there's high-rise hose in here so with the increased number of hotels um in order to find a high rise fire you have to have specialized kind of equipment specialized hoses things like that um it'll help us to buy all of that equipment extrication equipment which across the entire fleet will kind of standardize all the equipment we don't want a firefighter on one engine that moves to another one the next day or his next shift and it's completely different so this standardizes all the equipment it brings again more more advanced tools for us for firefighting and rescue capabilities okay great move for pool second all in favor say hi hi hi nc24 uh c24 is actually a fleet management agenda item but it uh speaks to rescues it'll be replaced the rep calls for the replacements of rescue 25 rescue 12 and what is recipe 27. uh we'll bring in three new ones um i i understand this would be kind of a fluid process as far as the vehicle replacement procedures go and that's some of the vehicles especially now with supply chain issues things that normally surplused out um are not getting surplused out they're kind of being maintained for parts and other things as we try and keep our fleet up so there's three replacements but there's one and also there's a new one we're also adding new vehicles for uh new stations uh rescue three is one of them um the current rescue nine that we have been we just received is actually repurposed rescue 230 it'll go in service hopefully may 1st so this will be a new rest there will be one new rescue in service yes sir um to um mr martinez's questions about adding new rescues you mentioned earlier so this is going to add a new one so that will help assist in cutting down

so rescue 230 yes sir rescue 230 rescue 30 is our highest utilized rescue in the in the entire fleet they run about 45 to 50 percent on average um which means about half of their day is running nine on one calls uh responding to 911 calls so this will drastically hopefully reduce their their utilization by just adding that rescue um the delay in kind of getting that it was approved for this fiscal year the delay has been hiring the staff we've got this this class that's just finishing their orientation should be done right about the end of the month okay that's that's the main that's the reason for the may 1st how many people in the new class uh this new class is 32 right now 32. yes sir okay okay great so just another a question for you i was i received some um information from administration today um on new rescues and new engines so i just want to clarify this hopefully i'm trying to put you on the spot and just want to make sure i'm correct on these numbers that i'm seeing from fy17 to fy22 what i have here is there is a 31 increase in the engine count and a 39 increase in rescue account is that correct uh yes sir i believe that some of that includes um spare vehicles that we have to keep for obviously preventative maintenance movement we do that so if one goes down you always want to have a replacement right so there's some sitting on the side always sitting on the sidelines okay okay all right great well i really appreciate it move for approval second all in favor say hi hi hi and chief while you're here just to commission mark thank you for bringing this to our attention i want i want to say to our uh firefighters paramedics first responders we greatly appreciate your service uh we share the same passion you do to serve the citizens out here every step of the way what you do in the field with the resources you have currently uh is fantastic we're working to help you get it better every step of the way as fast as we can we're going to keep on working i want to say from all my ears that the communication we've had back and forth has led to more and more improvement now that we've had this big boost of the economy coming in people want to come here we want to work you with you in the future if that means we need to do a workshop we'll want to do that with you as well but i encourage you stay vote stay in communication with us let us work with you let us try to help you so you can be in a situation be proud of where you're at and the sense of knowing that all the resources are going that way we don't want to see a situation where you show up a minute after when needed we want to make sure that

transportation facilities airports airlines but also included public transportation has had fallen under that and so we got noticed today that the biden administration while they may appeal is not going to enforce that while it's on appeal and so we are rescinding the requirement to our mask on public transportation buses for now in accordance with the judge's order and the guidance that the biden administration put out yesterday uh the tsa did that they will not enforce that right now so that's that's number two they're still recommended but right now um that is we will follow the the guidance put out by the byte administration on that the the third one is we have started over the last several weeks several meetings between our team uh and the sheriff's team with respect to the detention center i don't really have any updates today but i plan on next meeting probably have a little more fidelity on some updates for his timeline things that that impacts um you know county attorney's given us a couple of attorneys to help us work through that i know the clerk's been involved in those meetings you approved a budget amendment today for the clerk to move forward on the capital audit that transition so there's a lot of work happening behind the scenes hr has been in the jail several times to talk to all the existing employees about you know working for the county and what that means to them so we're working through it just don't have a whole lot to report today we will get you more formal reports in the next couple weeks uh next time we meet and the last one just want to let you know that you know we you know we talked about people with fire rescue and protecting them specifically like the decon depot and the decon units that we're doing there that's a that's a international best practice nobody else does it the way we do to protect our firefighters like that um with that said the florida safety council recently awarded um jeffrey brockman who works actually for public infrastructure in their safety program for the the safety leadership award for 2021 so it's not just fire rescue that deals with you know dangerous situations but you know other branches do as well and so he manages and runs a safety program in public infrastructure and has done a really tremendous job over the last few years really setting them up for success to make sure we're taking care of our people from a safety perspective on public infrastructure site so just want to let you know that you're another state award from for your team here so i with that that's all i have thank you all right thank you county attorney mr steinsniger um mr chairman members of the board um i had heard from both the chair and the
