to good use for some of these mental health 911 emergency facilities plus we need a place to take them besides to jail yeah that's what said we if we can do the mental health emergency rooms and partner with a private sector that they can operate it it always come down to it when you look at the issue it's the beds and pasco is lagged behind it's not any of our fall this is you know it has to be an investment from the private sector to have those bed in our community and you know we're half the amount of beds on average that is the issue that we're seeing a lot and then for many people there are resources and I see the fire chief here too it's calling 9-1-1 to have either the fire department show up or the Sheriff's Office show up and we can't we're not the ones that were designate to solve that issue and that's where we need to get the metal healthy yards up and running one of the big discussions that came out of this meeting with congressman bill Arrakis and the I can't remember the name of his committee but he had the he had a committee meeting here a congressional committee meeting here was that that if we can hang on to our Sadowski trust fund money we there may be some funds there that we can put towards some of this some some of this problem and I understand that the panhandle needed everyone in Florida's help last year and a lot of that money went there last year but let you know I think if we all work with our delegation to see if we can't hang on to some of that money we can put it to really good use mr. chairman one of the thoughts just found out this morning that the Suncoast Recovery Center up on Hudson Avenue just got their demolition permit so Esther and Dawn did a phenomenal job working through the process but that will be a place you can actually take these people through he talks and treatments that could last as long as nine months or just even three or four days so an alternative for us coming up how many how many beds in there it looks like 35 beds it could go higher depending on how would another place oh okay okay thanks so much thank you all very much all right Thank You chairman yes sir now this is public comment time and we have a sign-up sheet madam clerk would you please read maybe the first three names okay the first three names are Clyde Carter Melissa Smith and Darrell Stevenson senior Clyde Carter could please come up to the podium Melissa and Miss Smith and mr.

Mariano fraud no sir brought to my attention you posted on facebook a reference at 911 mr. Chairman I hate to interrupt the speaker but citizens comments are a limited public forum as the Chairman explained they are to be used for items which are on this agenda or are going to be on a future agenda or within their purview what the Commissioner has posted or not posted is not appropriate for citizens comments so would you like to make me make an appointment with the commissioner sir yes or that would be this is not it's not like were meant for them to do this I understand yeah I will make an appointment with the commissioner and directly directly to him at that time okay thank you very much I come on thank you yes sir Amanda's in the office now so you make that appointment up yes sir Thank You Melissa Smith Melissa Smith all right Darryl Stevenson following Darryl will be Susan Morgan run tortured and Cheryl Orchard please state your name and address for the record Stevenson P o box 1507 New Port Richey three four six five three okay good morning commissioners chairman I'm also here reference to deaf Mariano's posting on Facebook that I feel is racist if you Islamophobic this is not the place for that anyway all set up set up a meeting with with him personally and that's not an issue on our agenda or running arrived not after Jim what's your not yesterday I appreciate you and thank you thank you yes sir Suzanne Morgan good morning my name is Susan Morgan addresses 8550 coral creek loop Hudson Florida three four six six seven eight good morning commissioners I am here today representing the estates of beacon woods East which is located off of Hudson Avenue and little Road the Estates is intertwined with the Romans link off course which I don't know you may or may not know that Lomond links golf course has closed which has it closed down as of June 10th the residents of the estates of beacon woods Golf and Country Club property owners association which our master board which is an 880 unit development approached kona expressing a number of concerns as a result at the closing of the links golf course the neighborhood that I live in the estates in reserve has the greatest number of homes along the course fairway Oaks our neighbor consisting of 357 homes are also impacted by this problem the most urgent concern is the safety and welfare of our community the present ordinance that is in place now requires that the golf course only mow around the perimeter of the course the problem arises with the abandoning of the course itself allowing the course to become overgrown has invited more Berman snakes counties and now we're seeing homeless people on the course as well and in addition to the course that aren't in addition the course is designed to accept stormwater drainage and if left on maintained this will impact the safety of our community

as this also includes standing water which attracts mosquitoes the second concern is that we purchased our homes in a golf course community and paid premium prices for our homes with an abandoned course and signs of closure at these same homes will be reduced in value which lowers the value and tax income as well quoted in a newspaper article here by mr. long that owns the links golf course he says maybe when the grass gets overgrown who knows suggesting that the communities may come together with a plan so it seems to us that maybe that is the plan to allow it to just not be maintained let's see I have a sample here of an ordinance from winter gardens and we ask that you please consider a similar ordinance or amending the existing ordinance to help preserve both the safety and values of the communities in Pasco Kevin even found favor actually that ordinance is already part of the record but we I submit that a couple weeks ago yeah so staff is actually working in that ordinance right now that has to go adopt it if you still want to hear that to the clerk here that'd be fine yeah all those in favor say aye okay thank you okay Rahn orchard followed by Cheryl orchard followed by John love please state your name and address for the record sir well on Orchard 67 19 Manor Beach New Port Richey good morning board good morning chairman I'm here with the green hue Neighborhood Watch but we're looking for some help getting the area cleaned up again going down we've had a lot of good help already with stuff going in there I appreciate that we'd like some help you out getting Green Key Avenue at South Korean erode cleaned up we had an officer come in yesterday we had a little community meeting and basically he turned on green Keene Wow where am I going this place is a mess just from the brush and the the trees that are overhanging the road it's very poor it needs some help cleaning that up in there probably the area they came in and cut the grass on Summit green key and old's new revenue when they came through with the mowers they didn't bother picking anything up which I understand they're not gonna pick up little pieces of paper it looks like they took the mower and ran over a mattress that was laying there now that mattress is spread out with all the foam and everything else all over the place does something needs to be addressed with the the mowing people that they need to be aware of what's out there to some extent anyway you know I understand they're not gonna pick up a piece of newspaper but don't create a bigger mess the neighborhood's going down we're trying to bring it back up we don't need the help picking it down there's homeless living on the corner of olds nur and Bo they've been there for a long time we brought this up with code at different times they said they can't get a hold of the owner of the property yesterday I went online Google pulled up the area found the address that we have on record with the property it belongs

to a a spa out in Vegas the owners there so what I did is there's an email for the spa I emailed this by asking for help with it I got a response back this morning on it saying hey do you know anybody they can clean it up for us and give me a phone number so it's not that hard to get the numbers I don't know why we haven't already done it so I'm gonna try and get that - I guess code where that would go and see if we can get this taken care of okay so these can't be taken care of before working as a citizen I'm willing to help with it but I shouldn't have to do the legwork that they have been trying for 10 years to get well and Micah Thorpe is right in the back there so thank you very much thank you good morning commissioners my name is Cheryl orchard I live at 67 19 men are Beach Road new port richey I'm here today to talk about stormwater I've been working with this area for a long time I'm an ER Beach Road we have a culvert that goes back to the bayou the flap has been broken for years in theirs and years and the pipes haven't been cleaned out and I seen a 90 year old man with two bum legs out there in the pouring rain trying to clear that culvert and I said it's got to be stopped because what happens there when the tidal water comes up the tide comes up and it goes through those pipes it goes three streets over and the lowest one is Sara them streets stay flooded for three weeks to a month if we don't get rain storm water George Thomas and your new engineer Laura they've been phenomenal we've been working with them they come and clean the pipes out but what happened we got a city building new homes on the corner of green key they're hauling dirt in and the dirts been hauled in there for about eight weeks they did put plastic around they did fence around it but on the road going down Green Key we had the Steve from stormwater come and look over the area all that dirt was running and clogged them pipes back up it went back in the Bayou to mr. Meyer phones property and the whole back Bayou was covered with that coffee looking water from the dirt that was washed down the street now they've made the city aware of that I took pictures and I talked to the city about it I also had storm water come out they said we need all new drain pipes in there some could be stopped up with tree limbs whatever it's not flowing so it's staying I've even tried for when mr. Garrett was in to have the ditch lines I'm Werner Green Key dug a little deeper or cleaned up so the water can flow so we're trying real hard in there to get the neighborhood cleaned up and I want to give kudos to code Pauline Smith Brian Simon Celeste that was in there that come out and they face dangerous situations in there with squatters in houses that they have to go on address neighbors having needles thrown over their fence a lot of issues in there that we're trying so we're going to do this neighborhood watch and hope that we have hope we have hoped

that people a listen and the lots that get cleaned up and just clean our neighborhood up because the crime is getting so bad in there and there's got to be at least oh so many different places that they're they're not selling popcorn out of over there and it's getting worse we can't even walk you know it's too dangerous it's getting that bad so I appreciate anything that you can do I also have some paperwork I want to hand every one of you so that you can look it over all those in favor say aye opposed say no just right over there and Cheryl Nancy Benitez from Gulf Highlands had set up a neighborhood watch she's been running for a couple of years up there she's willing to come out and actually talk with others are trying to do the same thing that might give you some good ideas we have meetings with the sheriff they we have other people in the county staff to come out there so I would be happy to try to work that out with you two had a police officer come out and go over that with us already two days ago and we've already pulled up to have signs made to purchase for the neighborhood and already just in one day we've got about forty signs signed up for so we are working very hard in that neighborhood so anything you can do to check that out for us we'd appreciate it I will try to help that stormwater stuff because it says some violations are out there I'm sure our staff will be there doing their doing I'm really happy about the response so far and it's supposed to be done at the end of the month so if not I'll be back thank you thank you John love six seven oh seven Sierra Terrace I'm also with this group of people from the green key area you're gonna hear a lot of problems today about that area I believe the root of that problem is the aging infrastructure the flooded roads there's no sidewalks hardly any streetlights houses that are dilapidated that should be knocked down one of the biggest problems that we run into when trying to have things accomplished in that area is the intertwine of city and county property if you drive down Green Key road part of the street is paved has nice lines street lights and then you go 100 yards and it's an unpaved it's it's paved but not striped in those streetlights another 100 yards that area is paved it's because it intertwines so we will try to get things accomplished and the finger gets pointed back and forth as to that's not our problem that's the city that's County there needs to be some collaborative and cooperative effort between the city and the county to clean that area up you guys have an excellent opportunity next week there's a meeting between Pascoe Port Richey and New Port Richey [Music] it can't be done well III equate it to two boys sharing a room and only one cleans up his mess at a time and the room is never clean right so you got to come together figure it out you know we can't do it on our own we're we're trying bye-bye calling code enforcement

bye-bye coming to these meetings and addressing the problem but it's things that we can't do we can't get out there and pave the roads ourselves we need help from both city and county together and I think you guys have an excellent opportunity next week to put that on the agenda and talk about the green key area you have a great park at the end of the road but nobody wants to drive through green key to get to Green Key Beach there's lots of opportunities out there for development and I think it's you have a next to nity next week to bring it up so mr. chairman before you go sir and thank you for coming out and take get involved in community it's it's very important to have everybody involved we've talked about doing Green Key road we did Hudson Beach a while ago I suggested we actually go look at that we really had to go work with the city but you're right with the meeting coming up it's a perfect time to do it so maybe Mike we can actually look at the stormwater stuff getting a sidewalk done bring it all the way through and I think the lights a great idea is yeah the streetlights I mean there's there's a lot of pedestrian traffic on both holes new green key and the streets around there I come home late at night driving down that street and I'm you know worried that somebody's gonna run out in the street and it's gonna you know affect my life in a negative way too but just fixing green key there's there's so many side streets and things around it that are affected also so it needs to be the entire area and that's the problem is that some streets are City some are County so it just needs to be a massive undertaking by both enterprises it'll be a tough part thank you for your comments thank you the next person signed up is David Hayes followed by Clint Gordon followed by Allen rose mr. Hayes maybe 48 24:16 Street in Zephyrhills I had some stuff prepared but the First Amendment says I'm allowed to petition my government for a redress of my grievances since I'm not allowed to talk about Jack's racist posts on Facebook and I'm not allowed to ask for his resignation here my question would be what is then the forum for us to redress or addressing these grievances First Amendment allows you to have the discussions in a public forum as I said in my comments this is a limited public forum it's only for those things that's chairman announced your what is the words the forum for our grievance if there are violations of state law it would be the state this is a non charter County this board doesn't have jurisdiction over its individual members anything you need to do is have an make an appointment with mr. Mariano's secretary thanks sir mr. Gordon name and address for me mark Gordon one two zero five five Lacey Drive new four eighty three four six five four good morning commissioners my name is Clint as I said I'm with the Tampa Bay water ski show team and the president is here and I just wanted to follow up I sent an email last week and I have the kind of one-page document with me I'd love to

Bhalla maybe said a meeting up to kind of try to work out something to bring back to the board well we'll have Keith our parks director get with them and work something out appreciate it have Keith reach out to him okay do you guys like the copy I have there just a few copies second motion second all those are nine total all those verbs oh yeah any about 15 or 20 of them oh wow yeah so we're very heavily Titus now Legoland and a lot of our skiers that grow up here end up going and skiing they're professionally and there is a promotional video in that email I sent and if you'd like it to be sent directly to you I can send that to you can kind of see what we do about $150 a day now from what I understand thank you guys thanks [Laughter] name an address my name is helen rose 1 0 2 2 1 hilltop job du Port Richey Florida 3 4 6 5 4 I have documents for the record please I'd like to submit about 2nd got emotional saying all those in favor say aye aye motion passed it's all about coastal Pasco County once again and our

dredging hopes and dear commissioners three years ago I consulted in judging planning with Dewberry I gave them good insight to what Pasco County needs were then Commissioner Mariana lined me up with a Parks and Recreation I have a substantive meeting and was advised dredging was in the outlined years and we'd no longer be involved as it was being transferred to engineering more recently I had a meeting with Commissioner Starkey with mr. Walia and others discussing the maritime master plan for Pasco County in the CBR a coastal barrier resource act and available funding for dredging mr. Wylie once again advised myself and Commissioner starting this was in his outlined plans a couple of years he does not have the staffing to be able to adjust these needs commissioner Starkey advised he needs to bring that this into the next year rather than leading in the outlying years and I really thank you I have been bringing read most recently I've been bringing fifty seven million dollars in available grants and direct funding specifically for our coastal Pasco County every month there's anywhere 50 to 100 million dollars available every month for coastal remediations like I'm seeking and all's we have to do is apply for it I've given you copies of the application it's very simple you fill it out you attach a copy of the master plan but further on here recommendations would be to reengage Dewberry they have the staffing since we don't have the staff the county it may be too much of a burden reengage Dewberry or another consulting company like that they already have the staffing in place they know where the funds are they can go after these funds that I've brought to the county and every month I've been sending an email with these specifics to show the funding that's there if you only get one percent of that money that's available every month we're talking five hundred thousand to a million dollars a month to assist in coastal Pasco County remediations alright and then in the meantime we made an action green key we've lost the beach the beach is gone at Green Key there's a picture in here to show you that we're down two feet we need at least two for you to fill in there now there's an easy once again an easy fix to this instead of bringing all this fill soon you build a barrier on the eastern side of the of it and build it out six hundred feet at the structural jetty building out 600 feet that will gather all the silt silt and sediment that's coming in and wash it up and refill your beach in our house and on the beach without having to bring it in this will do naturally we need that done it will also be protecting the mangroves that are back there because right now the mangroves are being silt in him and it's also affecting negatively on the mangrove situation there it also will help Green Key with their flooding problems so thank you for today mr. chairman yes I would like to see us applying for some of these I think it's I don't think it's good that we're not and as a matter of fact when

they were talking about green key I pulled it up on the map I'm like they need a jetty and frankly I'd like to see one at Key Vista too so we were talking about as we dredge what to do some of that material I don't know if you can put it there but I'm in agreement that we should be applying for some of these grants and it's frustrating to see opportunities being lost is there mr. Bowser a reasonable we haven't found some of these grants or or can I hear halfway and just not be kind of connected we've recently hired a firm to actually help us with grants Langston they were they work with the Gulf Coast consortium so they got to kind of stay away from anything to do with the Gulf Coast consortium but he's going to be up at the FAC meeting and he's asked me to meet with him before the consortium meeting so I'm going to be meeting with him Commissioner Starkey if you want to meet with him separately that might be a good thing too but I do plan to meet with him so I'm gonna take all your suggestions here and we're gonna have a conversation about it he's going to come down here at some point later on but at least I'll start with him next week up there on that and we're going to look at every one that you've got here and start that conversation what this brings down to real quick is that its waterways management and this concerns where you stormwater management whether you're coastal waterways we have a 30-mile coastline and I don't believe we have anyone in place that knows waterways management and how to how to take care of every issue I mean I hear Green Key regularly on the flooding I hear these different issues and it's a lot of water and so you might consider finding someone that understands the waterways management there's companies that write one so I when when the head of the Army Corps the colonel I guess was here a few years ago and we flew over Trinity in the flooding areas well we started at the headwaters of the anklet River and we followed it all the way out to the mouth of the Gulf and and he commented on the silt that is building up in the anklet River on our side of the county now Pinellas County just got federal money to dredge they're part of the anklet River because they built a boat and then they couldn't get it out they built a ship actually I I believe we're gonna have a problem in the anklet River if if we don't do something about it you can you can just go to Google Earth follow it up and you can see all the silt that's built up there and from what I understand that also keeps you know back helps to back up the water and it could drain you know may be able to drain faster if we cleared out some of those waterways so I think that's opportunity on the we talk about end quote that is actually part of the coastal barrier resources and it actually has a number and you can address it you go to FEMA and you can apply for it and what would work for actually naturally removing that something again is another type of

a barrier built east-west and your soap will gather up on the north side and it will open that channel back up that's between the I have a question one question for him so I went by the sandbar Saturday pretty much gone it's like all flattened out all over the place art do you know if we're allowed to build that back up or go to the coastal barrier resource act because that is an active element of it and there and get the federal government will sponsor it it'll be taken care of you just have to bring them what your what your issue is with that with that parcel and they'll tell them what your solution would you I don't know if the sandbars listed I know I enclose and we only eighty percent of that and that's that's under our purview and we can we can take care of that by just asking alright thank you for coming thank you yes right okay the next three signed up to speak are Gil Swedberg Charles Moore and James Wagner good morning my name is Gayle Swedberg for 9 1 7 Largo Terrace New Port Richey 3 4 6 5 - pretty much a lot that I was going to bring up my neighbors have brought up with their concerns already I am just a new resident to New Port Richey I've been in Florida 15 years but just bought my property in December and green key which we've started our neighborhood watch program we're really excited about that from what I understand the new culvert valves have been ordered already to start and take care of the underground ground issues and they've cleaned some of the mangroves out as well to help with that drainage however at the corner of Largo Terrace and Olson er they kind of made a makeshift drain to let some of the water from Largo Terrace drain off they're still standing water there but as it rains it flows down garbage cans garbage goes with it okay and goes down to that culvert which is pretty much Largo terrorists now the street itself looks like it's on a slant and even though it's a low area there's ruts and holes and everything in there having those sidewalks the corner of Elsner and Largo Terrace is a bus stop so the children are standing right at that low laying area that is probably a couple feet if that to the water and when tides in the water is right up there there's an odor of course because it's had a problem for so many years so hearing that you know the streets may get attended and I know a lot of the Mount this year has gone for streets being done as that as the way I understand it but also that corner several vehicles have gone into the water turning for whatever reason when they're driving whether it's at night they're impaired whatever have ended up sitting there and they can't get out so one of the suggestions we had at our Green Key neighborhood watch meeting our first one the other day was to try to get a guardrail on that corner because the water is right there so I've scratched off everything else because it's been addressed already but those are some main concerns all of the streets down there and Public Works has patched some of them up but still Largo

Terrace in the front of my home and my neighbors it's just potholes is that in the county or in the city I know what the notice account that you cite is of ulster is yeah and I'm very confusing I'm like I said I've just moved there my neighbors are informing me is what city what's what's County and it does get confusing but those areas they are on top of it and code as well they have been wonderful with coming down and addressing and cleaning up issues a lot of the homes in the area have been sold and redone and either flipped or there's families with young children that are renting in there so you know I'm sure they have concerns too but they haven't been in the area that long either so from the neighbors that have been there is that me that's you okay from from the neighbors that have been there longer than I they've had these issues ongoing and we're just starting to bring them up again and form this committee and try to get those things I can promise thank you if you would before you go in my district sure yeah I don't see Ainsley here but I'd like to get note of those potholes we've got a real good crew that's about a three-day wait sometimes less to get potholes filled so if I do see Ainsley Ainsley put your hands up see that general right there let him know what those potholes are we'll get to get that work done right away for you anymore Charles Moore I live at 49 23 largo terrace new port richey and I guarantee expand the conversation just a little bit more on the storm water on Largo Terrace there's a large puddle that forms after the rain is still there today it's been there so long from a previous rain that tadpoles are existing in this pub I say that just to illustrate how long the water persist and if tadpoles could hatch from eggs then so can mosquitoes and that counters the effort that the county makes to abate the mosquito nuisance it's also a problem because school children have to cross this puddle on the way to catch the school bus up at Olsen er and this water after brain persists from one side of the road to the other and the only way they can really reach the school bus is to go through another residence yard people driving on the road drive to the shallower side which puts them on the wrong side of the road on another problem and many residents of Green Key are investing in their homes I urge the county to similarly invest this puddle here they've been talking about is not serviced by any kind of culverts a culvert was never created to to drain this there is one nearby at Sierra Terrace but it's of no help I urge that a county engineer on his next visit and I know he will be visiting soon take a look at this and hopefully he'll visit after the rain and can see this puddle and its full glory thank you for your attention thank you followed by Kelly Smith and then followed by Diane Finney James Wagner 67 18 0 terrorists I have a lot more to add it's just that I lived on cierra terrorists since my father-in-law bought it in 1973 we've been paying taxes there for continuous

lease until now and all I've ever seen on that road is neglect I mean it's they put the sewers in in 1993 and ever since then it said low spots and you talk about Polliwogs I've got pictures of ducks and you know we kept trains so and like I say you the water comes in you live on the Gulf of Mexico the water comes in but it would go out right away be no problem I've had occasions where I've got chased out of my garage because the mosquitoes and I just just never really see a big response in this area and the reason I'm standing up here now we just want to show you that but people are getting fed up with it and we appreciate a little bit of work hope there we've had some hope and it's it's been positive but we could use a lot more so thank you thank you for coming sure Kelly Smith three five three seven fourteen Gayle Drive Wesley Chapel Florida I'm here today to ask for a future agenda item and that would be to address ethical nature of the use of social media by accounting commissioners and elected officials if it's a personal I mean they can take up are you talking about an ordinance what I'm talking about a policy obviously there's been reference to a particular incident this morning but there are other issues of the use of social media by elected officials and whether or not it's appropriate for example whether or not it's appropriate to block a constituent on social media that's within the purview of your of your public comment okay all right thank you all right thank you yes ma'am good morning Diane Finney 6,400 Kathleen Drive Hudson Florida I'm back again concerning the Fallen seawalls for over two years I've been sending pictures from 27 2017 to the commissioners concerning this matter jack has a bunch of them and everything else like that what the problem is is you know the sea walls are old they were built in 1968 and back then they connected them all and because of that with them being connected if one goes down it takes another one down the house next to us though the wall was existing there in 2017 I showed pictures of it it is now down due to it coming down we had to replace I see well two years ago right now the the property said it has been sold but due to it being sold we saw people that came over and turned around and told us that they do not have to fix that seawall at all that it can stay the way it is they were flippers that came looked at it we also my husband went up to the building department and asked them about you know the house because we were going to put a bit in and they turned around and said because it was flooded three times that that house has to come down the flippers are saying no it's that 50/50 law and everything and that they can come in fix that house for twenty thirty thousand dollars walk away with that without putting a seawall in it due to that a seawall the property has come back at least four four feet if not more in those two years all that dirt is running into the canal there's a

tree that's on that property now that is dead due to the erosion of the land and you know I thought an ordinance was paid for I mean passed a you know maintain these sea walls and stuff like this I've been here at the meetings they said it was passed and since then I have not seen anything done with this seawall it's a continued ongoing thing I'll answer that we so last year we gave the code enforcement department money to get a boat but I believe it's minimum housing in the in the building department that is going around checking all the sea walls and their inventory all of them on the coast and people will be required to make to fix and maintain their sea walls and to fix and maintain docks that are hazardous then the house that just was been vacant for six years was just purchased so the new people coming in need to replace that sea while we're being told that they don't have to they don't have to put well meanwhile that's affecting our property I don't think well I don't think our the person in charge yours if you could meet with ester outside she'll explain to you what's going on and maybe get that address you know I'm we're taking care of that I know but I'm just saying you know this wouldn't in supposedly go on outside and Esther will westrom I'll go with you and answer some of their questions thank you sorry sorry mr. chairman but we're doing the policy since 2014 that we do not have back-and-forth dialogue during public comment public comment is for public comment if somebody wants to bring we want to bring something up at the end of the day during our items than we discussed that last few meetings so we yeah I know all of us have been I've done it but we need to get back to our policy have public comment there's a lot of needs to be brought back we bring it back as commissioners we all get with that good we could send them to meet with staff that's also another policy that we've had nice okay um one last opportunity for Melissa Smith if anyone else is okay and that's all I haven't written down for the list not here is anyone else in the room wish to speak to public comment at this time come forward line up state your name and address for them Clerk my name is Tony Gonzalez I live about 166 77 Albright road and Shady Hill okay I have a situation I've been we bought the house two years ago to build on three years as you see in code enforcement it's tired of it too this is none but complaints from one person in my neighborhood okay I'm trying to find a way to get this guy off me okay I Drive a heavy wrecker and that's my office I bring it home one time and the week the wash it clean it just like you guys do your office's you have them clean okay this guy Nils me every time okay it's to the point where code enforcement's coming out closing the case right out because they know what's going on this guy is a rasping you don't put a false report to the Sheriff Department on me last like a week ago

the line On January 20th of 17 for the house we did all the research we are we have mud vehicles you know there are off-road vehicles that we did the research before we moved here little do we know that in 2015 he has a hard-on against anybody that has anything to do with the commercial vehicle he doesn't like the fact that people can have mud vehicles but not have them tagged so what does he do I have a new neighbors that see him sit at my house days and nights while I'm at work we're working class so we're not home I have a young 21 year old daughter-in-law that's usually home it's very creepy when there's somebody that's stalking your home and your neighbors say he parks here all day long he parks here and when he comes and we confront him he's in pajamas and a t-shirt it's kind of weird it's kind of it's becoming to a point where it's harassment I mean we the first report we confronted him look we're neighbors come to our fence if you've got a problem let us know we'll do anything we can to try to keep it peaceful he tells the police and everybody else that he wants to clean up shady Hills the problem is is that our corner of Shady hills is not dirty even the county tells us we cannot understand why we're out here again so what can be done about this person that the county already took a loss and tried to do something in 15 I didn't live there yet but I have friends in the neighborhood that showed me this report and he straight out said I will get you find if I see this truck here my husband only Rings it there to wash we Brandon at yard we're in compliance County told us what we need to do but it's like he literally goes he's been caught on people's private property taking pictures the neighborhood took him to court in 15 we weren't owners there yet here it is 19 and the same guy is a complete problem in this neighborhood what do we do about him he's not even doing anything he lives a mile back from me you know I live out by peace I live in and because we happen to be paved you know we're kind of like the main way in however he will literally and my neighbors have told me he'll come in different cars he'll sit over here during the day he'll sit here where I work my 21 year old daughter and lost at home she only works part-time but she's home alone it's kind of creepy you know so we don't know what to do we've called the Sheriff's Office how can we do is there anything we can do for her assman to put a restraining order to keep them away from our house because we have done everything in the county of we rented a place like I said my husband only comes here when he washes the truck on a Sunday we have property right down the road that he rented a lot literally rented a lot so we could park that tow truck there so he has five miles to go that he has to get it when he's called out for FD HT the Florida rotations you know an accident to help the county pull the boats out of the water we now have to comply with that to try to keep him

memo it's been corrected I have a motion in a second all those in favor say aye aye okay motion pass C 77 morning commissioners Adam Thomas director of tourism there was two revisions that need to be revised for this item the first is to the amendment there was a typo on page four in the first paragraph which was corrected it stated the first amendment this is actually the second amendment to the contract and then also we revised the memo for this line and we spoke about it in depth about the contract with this company now let me ask you a question and I'm looking at the agenda item you've got down that they're not meeting our expectations in several categories why are we still keeping them on to do other things should we not just part ways and let's do it in-house or use somebody else that can do a good job I mean we're spending yes there are sort of money the the timing of it to change the entire amendment to to the agreement and bring additional employees into into our office to facilitate the the needs the timing would would have been too much too quick so in order to keep the sustainability of the remainder of the contract we're going to go through with it until next year and make those revisions next year to bring those those employees back in house it seems like a lot of money to me I mean so we're gonna pay him a hundred ninety two thousand to keep him on for another year when we're specifically talking about how they're not doing the job I'm in several categories just on social media they have not followed directives directly from the TDC board they have not really lived up to their standards even though we have gained momentum in social media we haven't we feel that it's not up to our standards of where it's at today so we're bringing that in-house they do create a forest PR they do media planning and buying to handle our website there are things that they are doing correct that's really making a difference and it's showing but right now we feel the need of a social media just needs to be changed mr. chairman tonight more chime in just a little bit too and so again at tibi TDC board's recommendation we've had multiple conversations about how we do not feel along with Adam this team yeah they were living up to our standards when it came to social media you know you've heard me make comments about it too so that was definitely everybody agreed on it needs to get pulled we had to wait for the obviously the contract renewal we did so we did have the same discussion about how they dealing with PR on that side and media buys that's really what they're good at they're good at that they're just not good at this that's the problem listen don't hate and knock people but that's probably this isn't probably a space they should be but they're known as one of the top advertising you know agencies and PR companies in the nation when it comes to tourism so that they do it they do it they're getting the bang for the buck there in in-house those are things there are certain things there's

it's impossible they could not do well that side but the social media side is yeah I mean I always hate to say it but I think I made a few comments I think I can get my 10 year old to probably do a better job at the social media than they were doing yeah I have an agency and of your social media it's either you're hitting a grand slam or you're striking out founded by its this was a complete with and a swinging a mess so we're like I said we were taking those initiatives back in-house like a car you know a they from a physician you know I special I'm a cardiologist but I can't do brain surgery they were trying to do brain surgery there's a cardiologist I'll support the item but I'm gonna be critical this next twelve months and I'm doing out of respect for the TDC I know again we're lucky to have everybody on that board but it's still it's a lot of money so with that I move for approval changes ii got a motion second all those in favor say aye opposed like sign motion passed they thank you c 61 well that's what's wrong excu C 19 commissioners andrew baxter facilities management director this is to update attachment number 1 to correct a missing line item resulting in no change to the total deductive change order but just to add that one missing line item got a motion second all those in favor say aye let's go past see 75 has been withdrawn see 63 for discussion I I just want to draw your attention to this so this item I think this is great people out at Gulf harbors tell me the water quality is so different than what it was even 15 years ago and and I know there's multiple issues along the coastline that need addressing but I'm very glad we're addressing this people people I don't know that we have any requirements that you have to clean out your septic or make sure that it's functioning the way it should be and I think that's something the legislature needs to address but I'm glad we're taking a look at at these communities and and that we're getting a grant to do this as fantastic so probably this is just step one but much needed so with that I'd move approval okay motion a second to approve all those in favor say aye aye and they'll close like sign and chairman real quick I just noted c60 says district 4 it's actually district 5 a motion passed by the way officer I know but it needs to go change just let the let the record reflect that that's a that's a Mission District mission dive yeah okay that ends the consent items we move on to regular agenda r1 good morning pull that mic over to you and doctor all control assistant county administrator development services ok we're here this morning presenting resolve reduction we have some excess there is a bill that has just passed the House HB 4 for 7 because of this bill we need to reduce our reserves that we have right now and a country administrator also wants us to go beyond what the bill calls for so we're reducing it further to 6 million

and the chart here showing the percentage by which we are reducing it so every permits that we issue we are going to have a 10% coupon discount and this we bring it down in the first year 2020 so about 60 million dollars as he seen on the on the board the second year to 14 million point form and the third year to eleven point eight million and the third fourth year 2023 to nine million and twenty four to six million and 2025 to six million even and we assuming that the economy stays steady and increasing by three percent okay Mariana you know I'm glad staffs taking the initiative to bring these fees down I would like to see it increase the speed of the take down to the six million so I think if you went down maybe even 20 percent you could get it break-even at 2020 about 2022 instead of taking the longer time I mean if it's just reducing reserves anyway I don't see why we want to hold on no longer make sure the emission bounded over five years or four years was was really to make sure that we watch the economy and didn't catch ourselves into a bind with respect to reserves and you know our team composition if we had a rough spot in the economy so it's just really to glidepath down over the next four years to that six million in the six million is a the 16% recommended by GFO a and then another a couple million in case we I think there's a future desire for satellite office in the West Chapel Area one-stop shopping was a chapel and so that's that's baked into the six million so the glide slope is really to allow us to watch annually where our fund balances and then adjust is needed but to make sure that if we hit a rough spot in the economy we don't get ourselves in a bind by going to cut in too deeply too fast well you're still gonna stop at the six million dollar number it's just matter when you get there and then frankly the economy is going good but all those that have been overpaying other ones gonna benefit probably right now as well to get the break of what they've overpaid and it's not that you I mean you guys have done a phenomenal job increasing the business I'm not saying you guys have done anything wrong of doing that just the way things are going the economics of it all you can get it down lower quicker I'd say we just let's put that incentive out there if we need to adjust it next year you can just come back in as a well going too quickly you need to throttle it down one thing I'd like to add is too as far as your changes as far as talking about a Wesley Chapel office I'm gonna say that these guys do a phenomenal job getting permits through they struggle sometimes and one of the areas they struggling is within it they were not having their own engineer I really think if it's not in the budget for this year maybe there's one coming but I think it's critical they have one under under their own Department do we have it in there I do have it in the budget yes sir so the October 1st I just wanna make sure you guys got it thank you I mean it's really the

pleasure of the board you know this this reflects the math based on the kafir' it D which is actually the 18 fund balance and so that doesn't take into account really I mean a little bit but really the fact that year-to-date we're 28% above where we were on single family home permits and we were last year and overall 10% above where we learnt last year on permits so we're gonna have to look at this every year in order to get down to that number over a five year period and that number is going to change every year based on the economy and where it goes so if if the pleasure to the boards do 20% across the board next year we'll do 20% across the board we were just trying to build in a safe predictable for your glide slope and I appreciate that I'm just 105 so right thank you chairman and and I don't disagree now is this broken down by category that we charge more and one area than they're just all across the board the intent here is that it's a every permit fee that it goes into the 104 the building construction fund is across the board cut by whatever the board decides we were recommending 10% if 20% is a pleasure of the board it'd be 20% the fees that don't support 104 ie the stormwater fee and there's some other permit fees don't go into 1/4 those aren't those aren't cut this is just the ones that go into the building permit piece and it's across the board because we're working on a separate update to the entire permit fee schedule but that's that's a cost recovery math to make sure that what our expenses are being covered by fees that'll be a separate discussion in a in a couple months for the board this is a take whatever the fees are and cut them across the board to get our fund balance down one in compliance of states actually but also down to where we think we should be now and I I don't disagree with Commissioner Mariano but I my biggest thing is you know right before I got elected in 2014 as one of the fees were priests and the idea was to use those fees to pay our employees to do our job and not necessarily make money on it so I'm glad to hear that's coming back to us in a couple months when you say a couple months so November I think the attendance November to try make them effective 1 January ok and again your team's doing a phenomenal job so thank you but okay mr. chairman if I may yes sir so the resolution that is before you while it is the administrators intent and I'm not getting involved in that policy decision of taking it down to six million dollars the resolution before you complies with state statute it would be the County Attorney's recommendation that that's what you do you can pick whatever percentage you want as a policy reason but I don't want you to say that the intent is coming down to six million dollars as a result of the statute because then all that money needs to be segregated and can only be used for rebates they lose the discretion to use the 104 fund in the statutorily in its legal capacity because of the way the

statute was written it says you had to come bring it down to your operating budget of the last four fiscal years that's the number that's in the resolution that's the number I would recommend that the that the board stick with if you want to bring it down as a policy decision as an administrative decision I I'm not getting involved with that but but there is a reason for the way the resolution was drafted the way it was but I guess a question I have is I don't know commissioner Romano made a motion well so it's do you want to keep it at the 10% and kind of keep it the way it's set up now what you want to accelerate it that's all right thank you more this was just going along with the recommendation but I am to look and I want to make sure that all our our times stay efficient you know I don't want to see long turnarounds for permits so this just affects your fund balance it's not affecting your operating budget I know but yeah the rate one of the reasons why we raised it was to have enough staff to timely respond wrote like application we're maintaining that and I'll say you know people want to say that they want to make sure you have enough people you're paying a people enough to keep keep good quality people too so I'm comfortable staying above just I didn't want to bring it up but that's gonna be something that's gonna be addressed in two months correct as far as the amounts the employees to make sure we're keeping the same a deployed this is this is totally different we already have this money it's in reserves that's right so to be clear the the pain class study is part of the budget you're adopting tonight yeah and that affects to pay in classification and building construction just like every other part of your organization so that that's actually happening tonight I know I mean a motion let me mr. chairman yes quick discussion then because I we have had a discussion in the last few days that we are backed up now though we are behind so there's there are some issues on on the on current planning but that's not the 104 fine that's that's that's really so there's no correlation between the two one is not holding up the other site plan review so will plan review issues site development issue which is not a building permit issue well you can't spend these funds on it's not that's not as much funny no correlation between the two that this is holding that up somehow but we wait if we needed more FTEs that's not a cause you follow me yes sir was it since maybe Jeff maybe they weren't getting there in time to the other department yes pretty hold up so it's a separate discussion with with with the operation current planning and what's going on you know it to be honest it's a matter of the the work that's happening in the community not necessarily the workload in current planning is there they've gotten you know a lot of work a lot of submissions a lot of development going on and so just like you know they're trying to get back and there's also you

know recent timing issue with respect to some legislation that happened that we're trying to deal with as well so there's a there was a 120 day clock put in on some of the the applications they have to work with in the recent recent legislation that we're trying to work through of how yes that's so but the next time I'm right so gotcha so that's a separate discussion than building construction because a separate fund the building emotions dance they got a motion and I have a second all those in favor say aye aye opposed like sign motion passed are two welcome mr. Goering before Pasco County budget director this morning I wanted to present to you the changes to the budget since the board passed the tentative budget on the September 3rd there were a number of changes and revisions to the budget those are outlined in the attachment to the agenda memo here at this point I just wanted to hit the high points of those changes first of all at the board's direction we reduced the market area plan by $100,000 and shifted those funds into the general fund to conduct a dredging study secondly we had budgeted a number of New Eden i11 supervisors for nine-month hire to hire them beginning in January after looking at those we realized that we need to probably need to bring those folks on sooner so we shifted that from a nine month higher to a twelve month so just add in an additional three months salary for those folks as we reviewed the budget I realized that it accidentally left out for business plan initiatives and the municipal services fund one of those was the engineer and the development services that Commissioner Mariano had just mentioned there were two code enforcement officers there was a principal planner and then the remainder of the market area plan and so those are the high points of the changes this is the final budget for that you'll be considering this this evening I plan to go more in depth into this budget this evening but I just wanted to point this out for you here in case you had any questions with that that's all I had to present with you today with that it just asked the board to approve the changes made to the tentative budget as outlined in the attachments got a motion in a second all those in favor say aye aye thank you all opposed like sign motion passed [Applause] good morning Margaret Smith county engineer yeah r3 is an item to request approval of an agreement between Pasco County in Walmart regarding the beacon wood safety project wherein we include their improvements on private property into the Pasco County bid package and upon successful bid they reimburse the funding however we want to take a little time today to bring you up to speed for those that are aware of this project and maybe familiarize the ones that have not been aware this project sits just north of State Road 50 to the beacon woods area beacon was is one of the neighborhoods on the other side of so us 19 runs directly through this area

leisure beach neighborhood is on the west side of us 19 beacon woods is back to the east and a little bit to the south and then we have the Country Club neighborhood north of Walmarts there so as you all know Walmart's I mean us 19 has quite a bit of volume on that roadway and if you start throwing in the neighborhoods all those neighborhoods and all the traffic that comes to us 19 and then throw in a big box a very popular Walmart's who gets that store is a pretty large store and gets quite a bit of business we have had a lot of issues with accidents in that area so back in between 24 2014 to 2016 we recorded 129 accidents and with that 7 fatalities and 29 injuries since 2017 to 2019 we've that's been reduced to about 23 accidents per year so a total of 71 for that three-year period with one fatality and 46 injuries so you can see this is a project that was really really needed out there and it sat for quite oh it didn't sit but there was a lot of consideration because one of the things that the county had gone to do T about since us 19 is their road was adding another signal to the north of Walmart there at the Paolo and Beach Boulevard and because it's so close to beacon was that that idea was rejected several other ideas were looked at but there was a stalemate as to how to really resolve this and I think it was back in about 20 2015 Mike bunk over here sitting in a meeting with us and he said what what about a roundabout there at the roundabout roundabout there at the at the south entrance of Walmart so up to this point the Walmart traffic could not come out of that south entrance and go back into beacon woods left turns were not allowed it required the drivers to come out take a right go up to us 19 do it u-turn and come back to beacon what's that way so ran it by the Commissioner who I think was a little surprised at first as we were but we all realized that it was a fantastic idea and this just might be what works and then we went to both do T and Walmart and also to the shopping center to the south which is where Kmart used to be and once we got a tended to buy in from those groups we went and visited all those neighborhoods that I previously mentioned and and they were just pleased and just thrilled that we had an idea that would work in beacon woods he was so concerned about the cut through traffic I think felt a little bit better than a roundabout was there because one of the nature of that is to be a traffic calming so with that we developed the concept that our next one we developed a concept let's go back oh so here we are talking about the crashes and so what we developed was this three kind of a three-point concept of where we're building the the roundabout here on the south side we're improving depalo on the north and do T is designing and installing a signal there at us 9 and Apollo and this also included us asking Walmart to fund that both a design and construction of the work on their property so they're adding a new exit from their property to the north -

depalo and also making that entrance to the south that it's there but they're making that a full entrance traffic and come in and go out through that so as you can see they're three three partners Pasco County d-o-t but with public agencies and Walmart a private agency and with throughout DoD there's been several agents several groups including Public Works which by the way is currently out there reconditioning DePalo as we speak so just a rough idea of what the roundabout looks like this roundabout will allow through traffic as we've always had on beacon woods but will also allow traffic coming out of Walmart to the top of that picture going around the roundabout and heading back into beacon woods without ever having to access us 19 we also considered a connection between the north shopping center Walmart's in the south where the Kmart used to be you can see a little bit of a slippery up through there to allow that traffic so a much better excuse-me point of access there for every direction of traffic that we have here's a concept of what we're what the d-o-t is planning on including and right now that blue median in the middle is what we have there today that will be taken out of the project the median knows they're to the south will be reduced you see the new crosswalks put in around that intersection that will be that will also have the ped features to make that safer crossing and a slight modification to the sidewalk to bring it down to the crosswalk and then back up because we don't want the traffic to be crossing what does that Country Club are depalo there behind the stop bar so we're trying to get the traffic in front of that stop our traffic will be stopped and they'll safely cross so here is a table of our schedule and our fees that were the these projects included and you can see the d-o-t project is at one point can't see it myself but I think it's at one point two for the signal and that's what the Pasco County work turned comes out to be and I think Walmart is about in that range as well just to make it easier to see what we're doing with design design on that on the beacon wood roundabout is complete at this time we are waiting for the plans from Target they're currently working on that with their own consultant and those plans will be included in the bid package that we're putting out and that's the reason for the agreement you see there because we'll be reimbursed for that funding when we know what the bid is construction for DePalo is underway as I said earlier and we expect the Notice to Proceed for the Walmart work and the beacon woods work to be in February of next upcoming February 2020 and expect to have the job completed a year from now a year from February any questions just comment and I don't know how many people were here david was probably here I know Commissioner Mariana was here I think I sat on the LPA as a school board member when this Walmart came in and I remember that the transportation plan

around it was very different but because we had people living behind there that were so concerned about traffic in their neighborhoods we did some things that made it very dangerous the way the traffic ended up and that's an example of why I think sometimes we need to listen to our traffic experts who are very knowledgeable about this kind of stuff but not necessarily give in to the unfounded fears of people and now look at how many lives have we lost well I don't know if it's all because of that but all right over the long over the since 2014 we've had eight fatalities so I think I think we there were some mistakes made when we changed we changed the requirements for this project I just want to say that just as a lesson learned and now a costly fix is coming in so the good thing is we've talked to the beacon woods residents back there and there there might be one or two that are still concerned but overall the majority that people just want to be able to get back into their neighborhood after shopping at home right right because we made it even more difficult for them it brings to my mind when we did the right thing with the the McDonald's that was coming in by that mobile home park on 54 and the many residents came in here and were very concerned that they would never be able to get into their homes again that there would be fatalities out on 54 and we said no this is going to be better for you they didn't believe it or understand it and now they are all out there and McDonald's and the golf carts and they love that connection and I have never seen anyone backed up you and I think they realized that their fears were unfounded so what does this require it a okay it's your district if you want to make I'll make a motion I want a little discussion first and I want to say Margaret thank you so much and I would say this is the key a p3 project geot you know with secretary Gwynn and his staff since they've come in it was easier to talk to him to get to why we need to do this so bad to make this happen there were conditions way back when when Walmart was a different place it was so the shopping mall that was there before and they had the light in front they moved it down to because of that proximity of a half a mile we couldn't get the lighted to Polo which would have made a lot safer to make that whole thing happen and Walmart didn't even want to have the connection from country called the states which again you get like 280 homes that are in there so that now can go directly in and directly out much safer for them as well in seven to come out in nineteen so the condition that was in from a long time ago that kept that from happening and kept the light from happening with d-o-t and even the people that beacon was didn't have a light there and this roundabout daylight so this took a while unfortunately the way government structured to make it all happen but the way it's come up now Margaret you guys have done a phenomenal job bringing this thing forward do teas

been great in Walmart I got a salute them for stepping up and putting out of their own pocket which they don't usually do after they've developed so all three have come together to make this a much safer project much better and it fulfills all the things we try to do for transportation management so thank you so much for getting it all done if you can move up the timetable that'd be great but what you're doing is phenomenal and I and I greatly appreciate it and by the way my car Bella we went out there because we were doing that we do with a paving assessment in Country Club the states at the same time so we went out there and you know they're kind of like getting started and a few issues that are coming out there so you know those presidents have me come out though at at one of the night meetings so I come out there we listen to all the things we write all the things down and Mikey had six people out there with me we walked the whole neighborhood looked at every single issue cuz I always said as we I think we all agree let's fix the storm water before we do the roads and every stormwater thing that we looked at is getting done it's going to be set so this whole area there's gonna be major stepped up just cause everybody working together see it team's phenomenal you'd be a partnership with you have the other two have been for not fantastic so it is gonna be a great improvement for the project who ran this project all the way from beginning to end and then Mike for originating and coming up with this very innovative idea that really really is what spurred the whole the whole project Rick and Mike have been great to work with every step of the way so thank you so much what you did your creativity you're willing to bring it forward I know I know you knew you had Commissioner Stark and what you said around about but we still need a couple more votes after that but it's all good so I'll move approval I got a motion second all those in favor say aye motion passed that ends our regular agenda items we will now move on to Oh business mr. Moore just one thing I didn't want to bring it up during that agenda item but I'm just seeing that Walmart they're doing may be Commissioner Mariana knows if there's anything going on with that with a key Mart ayyuhal is going in there that's the game arts were you that was no they did that one too but there's another one coming up they're different different owner but different group and they're in permitting right now I'm not sure whether I've done if you can help expedite that but tell us where we're at we're actually working on an out they have some issues with having the wash water supply big enough for fire and they're working through those with us now okay are they gonna keep the tower there my understanding at this point is that yes they want to keep the tower okay most definitely commissioner all right thank you disgrace that's it no I got it I don't okay that was just

curious brother I know for a time there was it was getting pretty trashed behind the Kmart and I think killed went out there took care of some things right just one thing just reminder of the universal playground inclusive playground this groundbreaking is this Friday at 10:00 a.m. exciting stuff and I think our date now is probably gonna be done and by the end of November so moving fast good stuff so team is doing a great job and with that that's all I have okay this part I got a little list of things so come on go quick the discussions on green key reminded me that we had a discussion here and I actually well and I was talking with some of the staff about this yesterday was that we want to bush hog County property long roads where we we see people living in the woods and I don't know I don't believe we've ever done it yet and I don't know what's holding us from doing it on our own property I know we talked about requiring other property owners to do that as well but certainly we should be taking the lead and doing it on our own property so I think that would help the green key folks a lot I drove sunray some of you might have seen that on Bay news 9 they had a article they did a story on the flooding and the condition of sunray and so I went out there with staff and that looked at it and they will also be looking at the stormwater situation there and how that those lakes around there drain because it wasn't apparent to us when that water goes into that those two lakes there how that drains out so they're going to be looking at that situation and sunray is going to be reclassified as a collector it is in bad shape but of course we want to look at the drainage system before we look at repaving we also drove around the Darlington area and I want to thank staff and everybody who helped that area do their big cleanup this weekend it went very well so also what what it made not being able to find the property owner easily on that property on green key although our residents were able to find that property made me think that as we do our work on a rental registry we might want to add vacant property to that list so that we that we are able to find the owners of vacant property and undeveloped properties so that we can encourage them to put up no trespassing and you know signs and and and help the sheriff with whatever they need to do to make sure that those properties are kept the way I think we want them to be kept in the county the bank there's a bank that went under on Rancho Del Rio and little Road and it is not the landscaping is not being maintained so just like they were talking about the golf courses I'm curious what what are our rules for commercial property that is up for sale and is no longer being maintained properly Donn Rosen's our sister County administrative element services it's still the responsibility of whoever the current owner is to maintain that property and in the same shape that it was when it was open they have to still maintain the property cut

the grass and do basic things like that and keep okay so then we need to send them a letter so I'll get with code on that well I in talking with EDC folks and a discussion that was had many times at the PE DC event we have a real problem with not enough light industrial in the county and we're about to lose a company because there's no place for them to go I would like us to look at rezoning properties along 19 because I think that some of those commercial properties could be rezone to light industrial and frankly I think that Kmart would have been a great place to have some light industrial we can put restrictions on it so that we're you know we're not talking about cement factories but but places like true or Mettler Toledo could move in and if we and if we take the initiative and work with owners of some of these properties I think we could have some opportunity for more jobs moving on the 19 quarter as part of that reimagine ation of nineteen quarter yeah you mind if I jump in without olives I think it's a great idea you know I I finally get a map of the opportunity zones and I kind of blew it up so I could take a look at anybody wants to see it it's it's it's in my office it shows you every single section of it and I'll tell you these opportunities zones they picked really hot in good areas that it's going to be they can do much with it I mean you couldn't do like the industrial stuff that you're talking about our other thing so I've actually put a call in to representative Mariano's aide she's gonna go try to find out who sets these zones up and find out to the state to go look at it but just like you're thinking I'm thinking the same thing we got all this land on 19 that's not going to have as much retail as it used to have we can't seem to get residential want to come there either if we could do something to get industrial or any type of commercial and put these as opportunities owns going up and down now somebody can go invest in a business which will show a return they can they'll get their capital gains waves I think it's I think it's after seven years I've been so told I gotta check my numbers depending on the scenario it's a sliding scale so depending on how it all works out it could be the great way to go for us up and down so if you want to partner with me as we go take a look at that I want to go take a look at that hole up rezoning opportunities don't thing because I think that's where they should be in Ferrari area I think it makes a lot more sense so much meat I like your line of thought yeah for me there's two opportunities one is light industrial and the other is multifamily but but it cannot it is not the retail corridor of the west side of Pasco anymore and so we need to be aggressive in thinking how to how to redesign that corridor and yep I think that's it oh no sorry I have this sheet so I went from me so I have a lectures on the lawn Thursday again if you're a history buff

dr. Michael Francis is the the expert on Florida history and it's going to be great event starting at 7 o'clock I also have the I have my Town Hall we moved it to October 9th to be better prepared for it and our topics are and this is at the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church and Lutz the topics will include state Ward Road 54 transportation update a peeve a SUP date code enforcement long-range planning the Sheriff's Office and then we're going to add more time for Q&A that we've had in the past and I have my next Harbor South Leadership Council on October 23rd at Gulf harbour Civic Association and we invite all civic and homeowners to set in the in the harbor South Region to send one person to join us and learn how you can help make your neighborhoods better and I don't know if you guys have heard but I'm losing yet another another employee KB is leaving us because she got a great offer from her hometown senator to come up and join his staff in Tallahassee and KB told me her goal is to be a lobbyist and that will definitely help her further her goals when she's working in the senator's office near her from her home town so I do have a new person hired and is coming in on Monday and then another person coming in in October so my office which is very very busy will be staffed up but we say to goodbye to KB and she'll be here for a few more weeks but she was great in the short time that she was here yep Thank You mr. wells wells will help you out of anything system I'm good thank you chairman okay mr. Mariana Thank You mr. chairman I'm gonna go over a couple of things they're just gonna pass down a letter that an email he came up from the citizens the conversation in green key it's it's good to see I mean we had probably your year and a half ago we actually did brought all code enforcement Sheriff's Department out there Sheriff's Office uh and went out over that whole area taking a look at it so I'm glad to see we're making progress there the neighborhood watch is great but I think it's time we actually get with the city coming up so I've actually sent an email as we've been going through to reach out to the city and let's get that on the agenda item I think it's time to go look at the storm water in there because if we can clean out those some of those areas out there let that water flow maybe restructure the roads and do a joint partnership with them I know they're they still got a lot of money to spend on the pending for Pasco money so maybe it's time to really go take a look at that holy area look at her full repaving look at the storm water and look at going all the way to Green Key and there's a there's a item here that I don't know how those got to my desk but from June of 95 talks about green key park and there was a request from way back then to get streetlights out there then so maybe that's something to incorporate so if we could make that as a full presentation coming up for the meeting I think we'd probably get a good dialogue and get some something going forward on your email that just sent

over this is an email that come over last night I get a call from this person yesterday and if you if you saw it on the draft agenda we actually had an item we're gonna try to buy two homes one on ash wood drive one on Colfax I want to give my car Bella credit he's been working real hard to go solve that issue what ash would drive he thinks he's got it solved he's not sure yet but he thinks he does they looked at buying these two homes he didn't see the full economic benefit to making this happen but I would like to us to go have this as a conversation piece coming up maybe it can be a community garden area maybe we can do something clearly putting two more homes or two more people in back in those homes they're gonna flood out again it's not going to be a good thing so if we get some flexibility maybe work with Cathy Pierson on it we can kind of try to find out do we have some other options buy that property because maybe it could be an overflow for stormwater but the same time a community garden or something might work but we got to work the funding because Catholic Charities as the homes so if we could maybe you can start that conversation and I just want to say the I think that Tampa Bay water ski show team would be a phenomenal addition they've been out there for several events it's a great addition again if we can work out where doesn't cost us anything but it's going to increase our revenues for parking I think it's a win-win across the board and that's all yes thank you can I add one thing real quick I did not mention who KB is going to be working for but it is the chair of Ted appropriations just just wanted everyone to make sure they know they now have a contact in the senator's office what's your name it is Travis Hudson okay thank you so that's the only reason I let her go if they may work well with us mr. biles yes or just a couple things actually both related grants we recently it's probably when the last month or two applied for through parks a Department of opportunity Community Development Block Grant disaster recovery grant to help harden the upcoming rec center at Burke's park it looks like we're number two out of 24 applicants for that so well not final yet real good news for the potential to be able to upgrade that future community center to actually a hurricane shelter - and there's not one in that region really where's that Berks Park Burke's oh oh that's right the one where they used the pole to turn on and off the lights we've been conditionally awarded a $160,000 RTP grant - for facilities listed out and on the star key and the the Suncoast multi-use trails six years it only took to get that but I see our Swift mud guy out there in the audience so thank you that allow us to put some facilities out there for the users of that trail at that intersection a restroom right well that was that's one of the facilities just one of many yes those are that's just the two things I answer and those are great we're very grateful mr. chairman members of the board at the
