first reading for the board June 4th 2019 at 1:30 and date City and there has been a correction on the second hearing and adoption of this proposed merit Orion for the board to June 19th instead of what you see on the board there which is June 18th which was the original Board hearing but because of local elections we moved to 19 so I apologize for that mistake there but it is June 19th yeah thanks to the team for bringing this under you worked you worked hard on this and my assumption is you probably met with all the commissioners and detail them before this meeting I think it's important that we move forward with this we had these discussions about especially insular major corridor is a 54:56 these storage buildings are almost like placeholders along those roadways and we're taking what we're doing is losing possible the possibility I have a major of climate centers on this on the on that land so again there's a place there's a time for them but I think it's taking that time to figure out the best Oren it's moving forward there's the right way to go about things again you know anybody that's applied in debates that's already had a pre-op meeting they can still move forward we never want to take something away from somebody that's already given be given the opportunity and that's not what's gonna happen here it is but again it's I'm glad you brought it forward I think it's the right thing to do and and I would assume we have board support on this hopefully we do yes yeah I don't want to see the sword units taking up valuable that could be bringing targeted jobs here to that end in our meeting in we discussed how we were giving discounts or possibly mobility free credits to places like autumn jiffy lube and tire repair shops and I get an email David I because I wasn't really clear on who's getting mobility feet credits I just couldn't remember so art I am curious are we giving mobility feed credits to places like that because I don't think I think we should be giving mobility through credits to targeted industries but not to these I'm wondering why we have such a proliferation and maybe that's why all of our mobility fees have some level of subsidy built into them so this and we talked about this during the mobility update self-storage has a subsidy in it most retail uses have some form of subsidy it's not subsidized nearly to the extent of as office industrial hotel or those have those are subsidized all the way down to zero but all retail uses have some form of subsidy built into our mobility fee update the only way we could go change that is if we kind of we went back and revisited that we weren't planning and revisiting that soon because we just went through an update well I'm gonna state what I said during that update and I think we have the hottest real estate market on 54:56 and you know maybe board up but certainly it's very hot and I don't think we need to be giving away

some of this some of these subsidies anymore I think I think we've done what we wanted except for I think we want more maybe more things that bring those targeted industries but I don't seem to see why we're we're we're doing this bill and so but I want to be clear it's not just retail that you have a subsidy for here we're subsidies on residential as well so I'm just saying especially on the commercial retail commercial retail well some of them mine I don't know if you can how do you divide them so separate them answer the only the only during the mobility fee update the only uses were we calculated for you what it would happen if we remove the subsidy were mini-storage and multi-family we have not even looked at removing that subsidy for any other use what about McDonald's and Burger King do they yeah there was no prior board direction to remove subsidies for any retail uses other than mini storage so McDonald's and the fast-food restaurants I have a lot of generation use a lot of I don't disagree with you and I want to be clear they did still pay a fairly high rate I mean their rate is substantially higher than most any other uses but the reason there was some subsidy for retail built in and was to keep us competitive with the surrounding jurisdictions that was the reason why there's a subsidy in retail I don't know if you I'm gonna go back with way back when cuz that rate hasn't changed since 2011 I don't know if you remember when the board first adopted mobility fees we had Wawa coming up here saying you won't get any wawas it past the county if you keep the rates the way they are that was one that recorded okay apparently it was the fee wasn't enough to discourage them because we've got plenty of walls yeah we can read look we can look at revisiting the subsidy or retail but I would need a majority the board to tell us to do that and we'd have to pay our consultant to go back into our fees and do that we did we weren't anticipating doing that because we just finished our update I would even to subsidize the other stuff that we really want even more well you can't subsidize often especially when you don't have anything I think we accomplished what we wanted I don't feel any reason to be discounting some of these businesses that we are - you know when I see when our when our new money comes in and so much of it boom right off the top where we could be putting it maybe other places where we have more uses for I think we should so again I would need I understand that that's I'm saying this would cost money and I had to even get the committee back together to relook at this and so we weren't a vision in doing that until the next update which is five years from now you want us to do that now we'd have to honey no we need a majority board to direct us to greet obtain our consultant to open that process back up again except for mini storage because mini storage we already calculated we took their distance what they removing their discount would be so that

we could easily do as part of this effort so mr. chairman yes just to follow up with Commissioner Starkey think what why don't you get us a list of what she's speaking of so as a board we can look at it maybe email to everybody yeah then we tell it the type of establishments he's talking about so we can actually spend some time on it since I don't want us to get steer away from the what we're voting on right now so we can send you a link to the to the Mozilla TV table and yeah it shows that table exactly how much subsidy every year yeah that'd be great that way we can we can preview it before we talk about it further I don't know if Commissioner Marion has anything to say about this it if I may before you make a motion Alexandre can is staff comfortable that they can perform this effort in 180 days because I okay yeah I'd rather see them have a longer term now than have to amend the ordinance at the end of a hundred and eighty two and we have a draft it just needs to be calibrated to Pasco County you know different conditions along the corridors but we've kind of put a rough draft together so we can comfortably say that we can do it within 180 days okay emotional second all those in favor say aye please allow me before we do our three there was a lay that raised her hand I did not see that I think going to speak come up to the podium and this is a public comments was there another person other than this one okay come on good morning our state your name and address for the clerk Kai Raines 4:08 montrose afternoon Tampa can you spell that that's mantras mo in t ro s ee thank you I am an item that's later on the agenda it's the termination of the agreement with USF for the facility in Pasco County I am a professor at USF I'm in geosciences so I actually study plants soils water not so much human corpses themselves but I have been looking at the way that the environment changes around the corpses as they decompose with the idea that these changes could be used to figure out how long a body that is found has how long it's been since it died or if that body has been moved so I entered this sort of as an outsider because I'm more interested in the environment itself I want to talk to you today about the fact that in the experience that I have had quit and the people who are currently in charge managing the facility what I have seen is that it is very well managed it is very respectfully managed um and a respectful of the people who have donated themselves to the scientific research and then also very thoughtfully managed they're thinking about research for the future and so I just want to kind of vouch for them that way and I also want to point out the fact that it's really nice to have an in local management the USF staff are out there almost every day I myself at have had seven undergrads helping me with this project at the laboratory aspects or out in the field three of them have now graduated and have used this experience to benefit our

community one of them used the experience he gained installing ground water month excuse me groundwater monitoring wells to get a job in water management here one of them I taught her how to survey had a survey you know land surface and she now works for a local consulting firm and the other one got a lot of experience of laboratory work at is a successfully applied to a graduate program at USF so all these people graduated from USF got experience at this facility and are benefiting our community Thank You freakin Mouse yes sir please state your name and address with the clerk my name is Chris Turner or Christopher Turner and my address is five zero two eight and quarter Overstreet that's the Wesley Chapel that's three three five four five thank you the the board for a degree is what you need to speak and an honorable and more I appreciate they we had several emails back and forward I appreciate your responses and I just want to reiterate what we've just discussed I feel that I'm a graduate student that long in the tooth for a graduate student I served there ten years in the United States Army as a medic and paratrooper and so I find myself back in education and being in the service I know I've been around honor and respect and and duty of service and that's what I see when I'm dealing with the individuals to work with the facility and I feel it's important that we we do keep it within Pasco County and a universally close by and Anna my research will be greatly affected but I mean there's more than there's more than just me there's there's universities not just the local and with the state that are utilizing this facility for research and I know that we're and the potential is that will be given three years to VK to hand over but my concern is damage to extending pre say research such as the one that was just mentioned actually thank you thank you thank you state your name and address for the clerk Melissa Pope I live in Tampa 3603 Devon Street I am an investigator at the medical examiner's in Hillsboro I've worked for the medical examiners that Services Pasco and Pinellas and I've either worked for or with USF anthropology for about 12 years so I'm here to urge you to reconsider your stance on this termination the program is still in its infancy but it appears to be doing very well I think this is clear based on doing a google search of how much news has come out of there as well as the sheer number of researchers graduate students undergrads and law enforcement and medical legal agencies that have been involved in training and research I believe it's been doing well because of the good leadership that has been in place so far dr. Kimberly has been working on this project for years she has overseen everything from the infancy of the beginning of the planning up until today and as previously mentioned has a lot of plans for the future ultimately this program is her intellectual property she wrote the grant for this I feel that the work it represents is hers and she

is the reason that has been doing so well her and her research team I wanted to point out from the standpoint of someone who works at the medical a manners that this type of program services the larger community and it does so because it services those who are impoverished who may be estranged from family and who may not be able to afford a simple burial or cremation after death so usually those individuals which is going to run up to probably a thousand per county per year they a simple cremation no frills is about six hundred dollars to add to that these salaries and the to add to that the salaries and the benefits that the county employees who have to locate next of kin and bet those programs it can be very expensive for the community this program offers a free alternative and it gives the families a lot of it gives the families a nice alternative that is meaningful to them I just want to say you know for us to run a program like that we want to consider who's running it right we want someone who's ethical transparent and who is accountable and if you look at dr. Kim Ali's track record she has all those things she's always been ethical transparent she's dedicated her career to human rights investigations and at the end of the day you're not gonna find a black mark on her we don't want to be one of those people in the news for missing body parts of homicide victims right we need to be transparent we need consent and that's what she offers thank you for comments name and address for the clerk Kirsten drastic 1641 Maximilian Drive Wesley Chapel 335 43 my name is Kirsten Ross second I'm a PhD candidate at USF so clearly I have a vested interest in USF and the program we currently have with Pasco County Sheriff's Office in Pasco County and we've already heard from my colleagues and one of the professor's that we've worked with numerous reasons why this land should stay with USF I also just want to reintegrate all of the positive things that USF working with Pasco County brings to the county and for instance just this past year we had a symposium that brought directors from similar facilities from all over the country together here that want to work with USF with dr. Kimmel a with our institution because of the reputation and we have because of all of the work that has gone into it as Miss mostly the Pope just stated it's not just something that you thought of one day and then you just made happen it took years of creation and thought and planning to put together the sort of program and the sort of research when we think about all of the other things that it can bring into Pasco County we have trainings and things planned not just for local law enforcement which really benefit the most from the sort of facility impressive bringing in people from across the country and internationally because of dr. Kimberly's reputation and all of the work and research she has done in the world we're talking on NATO level here you know there's a very wide

array of things that were contributing to and the work that we're doing at visibility facility is contributing to that we will lose and by losing that you know partnership between USF and Pasco County you don't have that access to those same things anymore so we really want to think about this great boon for Pasco County but also that all of the good things that come out of this and how it benefits our community and the academic community I really don't have anything else to say that that but we really appreciate you taking the time to listen to us thank you I asked Chase to come on hmm I asked Jace to come up listen oh yes going on chase chase Daniels Pasco Sheriff's Office Thank you Thank You Commissioner Starkey um so just to discuss this with the board what we're dealing with here is very simply a land use issue um this is something that uh Pasco County County Attorney's office our general counsel the USF office of general counsel and office of government relations have been dealing with us for about a year on this as the board remembers whenever this agreement was approved it was six acres USF is currently using approximately three acres and we also have an additional forensics field that is coming online that this board has has already approved as well that will be in addition to to this existing field what this is is quite simply just a a land use agreement so we have multiple partners out of this site we have UF FGCU UCF USF FSU and other universities that are that are still coming on board USF was the only entity in that that had their own exclusive land use agreement over six acres and I said they're using approximately three acres of that so we approached USF their general counsel's office or their office of government affairs with this desire to if there were no intentions as USF had stated to use those other three acres to possibly return it so we could use it for additional research additional buildings things like that out of our out of our first training campus so in discussions it was it was decided by by USF Pasco County that the Pasco Sheriff's Office the best way to move forward was to terminate this agreement we're still working with USF and their office of general counsel to bring them on under the existing agreements that we have with FGCU UF UCF USF just to make clear the the field is not going going anywhere our intention is to keep both fields like I said we have the one that's currently operating and then we'll have another one coming online here shortly but this is just mainly to take out that that exclude that exclusivity return three acres back to the county for for use and then again we welcome USF and Aniyah fest to come back on board using the the existing documents that we have with those other entities in there General Counsel's office USF general counsel office is working with us on that as we speak we're not excluding anyone we just want everyone to work together yes ma'am

commissioners you understand is how to pay for it that's what we're trying to figure out right now and what will be included in an infrastructure package obviously roads bridges that type of infrastructure is is probably a given but they're talking about expanding it to include water infrastructure which is important to Pasco County talking about broadband initiatives talking about schools talking about hospitals there's a whole variety of potential infrastructure investment opportunities coming down the pipe again the key will be determined if there's a way to pay for it and that's those discussions are going on now that congressional leadership is going back down to the White House in two weeks and having another conversation with the president the the new chairman of the Transportation Committee in the house has indicated an interest in trying to move a bill before 4th of July Southside Peter DeFazio from Oregon he's talked about trying to get a bill before the house to least start the conversation we'll katene or monitor that and and let you know about that along that way one opportunity that is presented itself is the annual what used to be called the tiger grant programs the build program is an opportunity for the county to apply for competitively awarded federal transportation funding there's 900 million dollars available for this program you have tried in the past submitted a previous application for the interchange project we're not successful the last time and that your County staff has done a great job at being debriefed by the Department of Transportation to understand where they can improve their application there's now a call for proposals that's proposals are due by July 15th the one thing that has really changed significantly is in the last state legislative session in last year you received 15 million dollars of state funding to support the project you have County funding available and I think that makes a very compelling case for the federal government that you have skin in the game now on this project your funding is lined up and with the federal partnership you have a project that's ready to go and so last year we had great support from the congressional delegation the House members sent members including Dan Webster and Gus Cole Arrakis two important members of the Republican side which weigh heavily with the administration so we will begin that process to to generate congressional support for the build application as your staff puts it together a second item that I want to talk about and we've talked about this every time I've been here is the National Flood Insurance Program as you know it's important to the to the county it's important to the state of Florida the National Flood Insurance Program is currently operating under a temporary authorization that expires at the end of this month we've operated under 10 previous temporary extensions and so a long-term reauthorization is it's it's clearly not going to happen before the

end of this month so Congress is going to have to figure out a way to extend the program for at least several months to keep the program operating if the program should laughs it would be a problem for new home sales in the county they require a flood insurance because under if the program lapses the National Flood Insurance Program can't write new policies which could have a chilling effect on the real estate market so we will continue to monitor that for you it's also a new initiative that the administration rolled out in March called risk risk rating 2.0 which is a new pricing plan that they're looking at trying to roll out next year to change the rates that flood insurance policyholders carry in some cases it will actually lower policyholder rates in some cases it will raise rates it just depends on which flood zone that you were in we'll get you more information about that that the administration's announcement in March was really only three paragraphs long so there's a lot of information to be had there's a big meeting next week in Washington with the National Flood Plan floodplain Managers Association they're gonna meet with the administration to try and get more details and we'll make sure that we provide Ralph with a memo on that and how it will impact the county but we're hopeful that there will be some temporary extension here before the end of the month to keep the flood insurance program running without disrupting your your policy voters third item that we've talked about with you before is an issue called the waters of the u.s. it was a regulatory initiative under President Obama's administration to change the classification for federal waterways and what would be covered by federal water guidance would have a big impact on Pasco County giving the amount of water we have under the previous administration regulations that would have applied to new waterways that weren't previously included in the clean water acts such as ditches along roadways ponds and other waterways that weren't connected to the bays or the Gulf and so various producers bought Florida was a member of a class action suit that stayed the previous rules the new administration came in last Congress last year or two years ago and decided to roll back the waters of the USA regulations and start over again so the Department of the energy and the EPA and the Corps of Engineers around now in the process of collecting public comment on new regulations for the waters of the US and will start working on regulations that they hope to have out sometime in July again we'll continue to stay in touch with your staff about that Commissioner Starkey when she was up in Washington we had a series of meetings with the Department of Labor about the apprenticeship programs she's done a great job at trying to convince the Department of Labor to broaden the class of programs that are available for for federal funding for apprenticeship programs we're making some headway there we'll continue to work on that there's potentially a piece of legislation that

may work its way through Congress this year on workforce training programs that could help us in that effort and will continue with excellent one of the issues we talked about with the commissioners when they were up in in March was a new program was created by the 2017 tax act called Opportunity Zones Pasco County has 17 federally designated Opportunity Zones that are now available for investment provides a tax incentives tax breaks for investment funds that invest in properties within these enterprise zones to create economic opportunity the administration has been rolling out a three months new regulations to talk about how to implement these we've been 14 those on to your County staff to make sure that your economic Tabo the folks understand the new regulations to see if they have any comments on those it's it's been a program that's a little bit slow and starting investors aren't quite sure what to make of it but its program and they pick up steam here in the next couple months and so we will continue to work with your County staff to make sure they're aware of what's happening on the opportunities in front one other item from the last Congress actually the last two congresses passed major opioid addiction legislation to create a series of new programs to help drug treatment facilities law enforcement first responders court systems on with with the tremendous problem of opioid addiction these programs were created in the last Congress on a bipartisan basis now they're starting to be funded in this new Congress we will continue to look for funding opportunities for the county in a variety of areas that might be helpful to you all on the drug treatment from there's a great support in Congress for trying to make sure that robust funding is provided to help out in all aspects with that problem and the last two issues one I have on your agenda here is the Federal Emergency Management Agency and disaster assistance Ralph and I had a conversation the other day about the slow pace that FEMA is reimbursing not just Pasco County but counties throughout the country and the State for previous storms I understand from Ralph that you're still waiting for reimbursement for hurt for Hermine and obviously still waiting for reimbursement from Hurricane ern and we see what's happening the panhead with hurricane michael this Congress is really invested in trying to find a way to streamline the process between the federal government and the state and the communities to make sure that the flow of funding is speeded up so that you aren't burdened as a county with responding to storms so there's some new legislation that's being proposed to try and expedite that process to take to allow counties and communities to have more authority to make decisions without having to wait for state of parole or federal approval and we'll Tina work with you to make sure you know what those are that is a big problem and unfortunately some communities have including the

Panhandle area I've had to borrow funds to pay for some of their expenses and Congress is not happy about that so they'll be working on that and in that regard going back the infrastructure bill is a strong opportunity here to provide additional federal support for resiliency programs and for mitigation programs so Congress is looking at increasing its investment in those areas so that they can help support boost your communities make them more resilient to future storms future flooding events future weather events and and we'll continue to work with you on those as those programs roll out we'll make sure that your staff knows about funding opportunities finally in the last agenda item on your federal agenda is a new one this year it relates to 5g mobile network towers and and 5g service as you know this is the next generation of of cellular service and communication the I know the state legislature last year passed a bill to require kind of a streamlining as I understand it of small cell tower deployment in communities and what the Federal Communications Commission did last year was passed an ordinance fillet of federal ordinance that were kind of side steps the authority of local governments to make decisions on the placement of small cell phone towers there's currently a lawsuit out in California to try overturn that decision by the FCC and as legislation been introduced into Congress now to do the same thing to to turn back that decision we haven't really had a chance to talk about with your staff at great length about this I know the National Association of counties has weighed in and supported the legislation and so I look forward to work with your staff to find out what information we can provide them about this rollout of the 5gs in the small cellphone town or so that's pretty much a summary I think you have the whole packet there's a summary of your proposals here and then there's also a more detailed explanation of each of the what do you know about CDBG and and low-income housing and dollars coming out I mean so I think that's something we need to pay attention sure yeah so the preparations process just started in fact the Appropriations Committee has its first full committee meeting on the house tomorrow they have not been around to working on the bill that funds the Department Housing and Urban Development which is where CDBG and the low-income housing programs are funded the allocations that the committee has are pretty good this year so they have about five percent more in federal funding to spend this year than did last year so there's a good likelihood that those programs will continue to be funded increase the administration has his request reductions in those programs over the last three years and so Congress has always overturned those decisions those recommendations and provided increased funding so I don't have any reason to believe that they want to they won't do a good job one thing I will say about that though is Congress is still in this in this

10-year period under what they call the Budget Control Act and what that Budget Control Act does is requires set certain limits on federal spending if Congress exceeds those limits there's what they call a sequestration goes into effect which is an automatic across-the-board cutting of defense and non-defense programs every two years Congress has passed the legislation to - to suspend that sequestration that two-year window runs out on September 30th of this year and without a new agreement between Congress and the president there's a very real possibility sequestration could go into effect so whatever Congress appropriates would likely be reduced by as much as 10% across-the-board so that's something we'll keep in mind because while Congress may support programs the automatic cuts could create a problem for you well um thanks Harry and I I would say that we definitely need to go in for another build grant again I know they're hard to get but I think you as you said we have a compelling story we have matching money and I I think we need to schedule a trip again to touch to meet the eight agencies and the key people I recall a meeting we had with the Senate Transportation Committee and and others that I think it's important to build those relationships and I watching my fellow commissioners from around the country be successful they tell me it's because of the relationships that they have made so I think that's coming upon us to take the time to go build those relationships and we have a new center this year who's a former governor that was responsible for providing the state funding for this so I think that'll help in the conversation to mariana every suppose there's a starting time on CDBG and I think it's a great topic for us is is this something were they looking for projects as far as or just like I think just gonna put our pace funding because if we we've got a like one project it's working on the table trying to take this old trailer home park you might say that's all DeLand potato we've been best at our own money to to buy up 51 properties or not work with with Habitat for Humanity and we're trying to like not direct some CDG funds I think it's probably something that could actually work for affordable housing around the nation and we could be like a model program is that the type of way to actually go to those that hand out these funds for CDBG at this point so I would say three things about that to the regular CDBG program is formula driven the money goes to the counties based on a formula then the you-all can determine how you want to spend your County allocation for that so there's there's that pot there are there are some affordable housing programs that we can get information so your staff about that may be may it be a football what you're trying to do if we learn more about the project we can we can take a look at that but the own area I think that you might want to look at is as you know every every time there's a a state emergency declared for a disaster like hurricane I like her mean

Ian or Emma or Michael the state becomes eligible for disaster or CDBG they called ER funding which is disaster relief funding this money that comes down to the state and and you can make is made available communities to help provide more resiliency free communities so I presumes this is a park like that there might be some opportunity to redevelop that and make into you know something that's more resilient there's also funding that's made available whenever there's an emergency declaration through the economic economic development administration there's emergency funding set aside for impacted States and there's three hundred million dollars available so far to the state of Florida based on hurricane I mean there will be more money coming with hurricane Michael that's another pot of funding that we can talk to your staff about potentially applying for this the great thing about those emergency funds is the match is actually the federal match is actually higher usually it's a 50-50 local federal match these are as high as eighty percent federal 20% local so it could be a significant funding opportunity too and we'll get you more information about that yes maybe they will get together with Mike Rizzo and Kathy Pierson and see what might work for that sure well we're using some of that money and I don't remember the name of it but we are using some of that CDBG disaster money over an office Parkway we think we got three million dollars and actually I do want to schedule an update from staff and so we have mobile homes that were completely flooded in an elfish Parkway and actually it's a hundred percent reimbursement buyout plus moving costs so I think we have twelve or thirteen homes going through that and we're hoping that we'll get more but I'd be all for continuing that discussion that our partners Habitat for Humanity and that in that area and frankly I think we should extend secretary Carson and invite to come down and look at the project and I've met him at that last trip we had because right right now habitat is not eligible we're not eligible right for some of that money how quick we can build there's a glitch yeah there's a glitch that we're not eligible right now we want to fix that because why would you not want habitat to be able to build a lot of homes and there will be more money coming down for disaster but the hurricane Michael there's a supplemental for braces bill that's pending before Congress now hopefully that will be resolved before Memorial Day so that would be another tranche of funding that might be developed to I'm not sure that area flooded although we do it is we do have to elevate there so um but we'd love to get you more information on that project and show it to you okay sure yes one quick question maybe can help out with this um what is the holdup with Michael because if you didn't if you notice during our budget the legislators obviously just you know adjourned on

Saturday and the state had to put you know I don't move until well not was maybe Ralph you know it was told him out that was pushed the panel right so I think back to Katrina other hurricanes the federal government jump right in FEMA jumped right in and jeez some of those hurricanes um there was a just a total waste of dollars you know for example you know trucks sitting out there for years on end housing empty what's their problem with getting their act together to help people in Florida right now it's very frustrating because what's happening a we know those people need the help right so at the same time you know look how much of our budget had to be diverted to the Panhandle for the lack of what's the worst lot worse what response aid or just getting their frickin act to get acts together up there to do what's right and to do what to do what they've done for every hurricane in the past look what they did in Puerto Rico how much when they put down their what they can't take care of the panel you're saying the same things that the floor to delegate congressional delegation is saying I know Rubio and Senator Scott I'm very familiar met reporter Rico mean frankly that that's the hold up right now is that the house leadership wants to include more funding in this supplemental appropriations bill that would include the hurricane Michael for Puerto Rico for the previous storms there the administration has opposed that said they would veto the bill included extra money for Puerto Rico and so they're they're trying to negotiate some type of an agreement where they can provide some more money for Puerto Rico but not as much as the House leadership wants the holdup frankly is not Florida they all agree on what they need for Florida the issue is I know the hold ups not Florida that's it there's the Midwest there were wildfires the Midwest or Georgia's and has been impacted by storm so it's a it's a national there's there's great support nationally for this just the administration and the House leadership are stuck over the issue of so the current House leadership is what you're saying is correct is well it's holding this money up that's correct in yeah frankly in the Senate leaders you know you need in the Senate even though the Republicans have a majority still need 60 votes to do anything and the Democratic leadership in the Senate to is supporting additional funding Porto Rico so they're holding up our money here for our citizens and for the Democrat there there's hope there's a new bill DC there's a new bill to be introduced think today or tomorrow that will hopefully maybe break the log jam and again their hope is to get something done before this so these people send their homeless to over for a year later because they get there and we have a military base that can't be reconstructed that's home right now something sad may come up again we come on budget look how much of our budget state budget had to go to offset the cost of what these people pay their taxes for a yearly basis and but may I

ask a question well will the money that we're putting out in the state for help to the Panhandle be reimbursable to the federal government I think that's a question for yes I'd say the answer is well I think maybe it depends on what they're but they're gonna use the funding for or so reimbursement for the federal government gonna reimburse the community for that money then maybe they could reimburse the state I don't know the answer to that well that'd be interesting to find out maybe Ralph can find that out yeah because then that money eventually comes back to be spread amongst the counties again maybe any other questions you need to approve the federal agenda if I spoke a second you got a motion second all those in favor say aye aye all opposed like sign motion passed thank you thank you yes sir mr. chair vo my week we'd set up a time certain briefing from the yeah from the EOC we're right in the middle of the state hurricane exercise and so figured since we're aboard means opportunity for them to kind of brief you like they would during a normal hurricane what's going on and so we will maybe a couple seconds to get the text set up but we will be no there we go there's the yes oh there's a you'll see and there is a chief Andy fossa [Music]

yeah and yeah I think you have a question up from here question did we did we have a VRC before and where where was it where is it [Music]

it's that similar to what is that different than what we did at the Super Target said yes ma'am that was more of a distribution location yes ma'am yeah thank you okay any other questions any other questions nope okay all right thanks Peter thank you thanks team okay thank you so is just to wrap up that the exercise this year really focuses on their recovery piece so after the storm passes and so while they're exercising this the events during the storm today it's really the next few days where we're exercising through the recovery plan which is really if we look at Michael and once happened that's really where that's a long-term plan that's not something happens in 24-48 hours you have to build your plans because that's you know 30 days 60 date 9009 20 days so that's really what we're exercising here in this you can tell there's some weight the state that thinks Pasco does a good job and so they wanted to run it through Pasco so the other IOC s and the state could follow us and see what we're doing and help build and train their people throughout the state so yeah that's all I have sir okay for the record brows layer in our governmental affairs officer I want to first thank Andy fossa for naming the hurricane exercise thank you [Laughter] okay so the florida lawmakers finished the 2019 legislative session saturday one day over the 60-day session requirement by passing on ninety 1.1 billion dollar budget for the upcoming year let me take this opportunity to thank our Pasco County legislative delegation senator Wilton Simpson senator ed Hooper Senator Tom Lee representative amber Mariano representative RT and Zika for all their efforts and hard work on behalf of the residents of Pasco County in total the 2019 regular session included 3571 bills and proposed proposed committee bills filed 2997 amendments filed 3765 votes taken 40 floor sessions and only 196 bills passed both chambers in the 91.1 billion dollar budget which was sent a bill 2500 the appropriations bill Pasco County received two projects the Land O'Lakes 41 landscape rehabilitation project 1 million dollars we originally asked for 1.5 million dollars so we're very pleased with the outcome on that Miller's Bayou working enhance waterfront enhancement we requested three million dollars we received 1 million dollars in addition to Pasco County the other local government that had a return was the city of Dade City Dade City received 5 million dollars for Morningside Drive extension if you remember they also received this last time and it was vetoed by the governor so we're hoping this year that they get that through and the county will be working with date City on that project they also received $150,000 for a the howard water storm water pump position so in addition to that we do receive the county receipt for some of our nonprofits and some of our various organizations that that assist our residents

scoff County did receive funding as well I won't go through that I did mail you email you that project yesterday all the the session rap and I did again this morning as well because I inadvertently left off a bill on that so I want to jump to some of the legislation that impacts the county so these are highlights of legislation impacting local government and Home Rule growth management bill passed House bill 7103 was approved during the last hours of session those last couple of days Bill's back go back and forth between chamber and they're mended and riah mended and sitting back and forth between the House and the Senate the final product that came out Friday night will make it harder to challenge a developer's plan for a new neighborhood or changes in any local comprehensive plan for one thing anyone who challenges a plan amendment and loses has to pay the prevailing party the attorney's fees and also local governments cannot require affordable housing and new developments additionally vegetable gardens past this is a victory for the gardener's it cripples the ability for local governments to tell people where they can play in a garden in their yard the bill places personal property rights over the authority of counties and cities to dictate where people can grow vegetables in their yard and any existing ordinance as we have restricting any vegetable gardens is void and unenforceable under the law yes what about like CDs and HOAs no they were they were don't be over overrule the state law so you're good there yeah just curious because that's that's exactly right so yeah they if they have a role then that prevails over the state law okay moving on another bill that passed I think would be it does or doesn't prevail it does permit does prevail it prevails over this over the state law so yeah um so what's local deed restriction deed restrictions do prevail over correct correct okay but county ordinance isn't about the only time you want to want to be in a deed restricted community okay so jumping on from that another bill that the oh but going back to the vegetable garden what we also can do their local governments may adopt a local ordinance of regulation of general nature that deals with water use during droughts fertilizer use or control of invasive plants and species another bill tree trimming and private property rights bill legislation provides that a local government may not require an application approval permit fee or mitigation for the pruning trimming or removal of a tree on residential property if the property obtains documentation from certified arborist or licensed landscape architects that the tree is a danger to person or property the bill prohibits local governments from requiring replanting of trees removed or trimmed for the section and specific said and specifies that it does not apply to local governments with delegated mangrove protection authority

additionally the bill requires each county property appraiser to post on its website a property owner Bill of Rights the contents of which are provided in the bill the legislature also approved a five year moratorium on counties and cities from passing ordinances per hipping plastic straws while the state studies the ordinances already approved by ten cities that have already done so and finally yesterday the Senate releases calendar for important dates for the 2020 legislative session January 14 2020 is when the session begins and it will conclude on March 13 2020 they have not released a proposed dates for committee weeks but it's expected to begin September of 2019 at that point if there's any questions I'll be happening answer is true mr. Moore no so Ralph thank you for all your efforts we really appreciate everything you do on your own basis but especially having to spend days on and hours late nights while you're up there in Tallahassee so thanks thank you again for everything you did and then you know obviously thanks to all our legislators for all their hard efforts I do personally want to once again you know think obviously Senator Tom Lee and represented of Zeke for getting the million dollars for the Land O'Lakes redevelopment as ralph knows I was on the phone with him quite often during session and and it was nice to see you know senator London Tom senator Lee you know push it through the Senate bill and our team was able to work hard in that in the house and work with leadership to get that through so we'll keep our fingers crossed as we always do that it will make it off obviously the governor's desk but thrilled about that because it's very much needed to help that redevelopment and our focus is on that Lino Lakes Boulevard between 41 and 52 our focus is without with those dollar so I'm thrilled about that and will will hopefully be able to move forward quickly with that and that money comes in and I do have a question one thing it's good to see that money come through from Miller's Bayou that million dollars I can't remember during the MPL meeting so we have an estimated cost for that project yeah I told West minute cost does anybody know price top it is being priced out so as we continue these conversations I would highly recommend that we have conversations at County and administration with the city managers of Port Richey new port richey to utilize rc-aid CRA dollars that they'll be getting from us this year if they want to move forward with this that would be seems like it's good use for that area for the redevelopment they will be getting obviously a plethora of funds once again this year and that would be put to good use in my opinion a million dollars that you're getting you know what it's all that million right not them so but we have right there has many more money but towards that prospect we have a tri-party agreement that says we'll split the cost 1/3 1/3 1/3 I mean I'm assuming that obviously that's a that

for the design I'm assuming that agreement we move forward into construction that we'd split 1/3 1/3 1/3 well so again I would bring it up to them to use their CIO CRA dollars that they received from us for that project so combine between the two that's about two million dollars this year did I could get a get them over the hump I would assume at least close to it well million plus to look pretty good question so that million dollars was the county's million dollars it's not a progression from the city of Port Richey or from the city of New Port Richey so does this million dollars come off the top and then we split one-third one-third one-third what's left is this the county's one-third who's one whose money is this the project so it's coming to the county yeah I'm guessing that those two jurisdictions will bring that up to you and the next NPO meeting since this was initially an MPO discussion discuss project so we're able to thanks to represent Mariano and what Hooper we're able to bring that the county there's the county's large portion of it and then again between the CRA dollars cover there it is done let me see let me see it calls testable sorry Jones and their cieariy dollars for this project and if they want to ask for more appropriation next year we would support that if they weren't asked understand I'll just mr. chairman if you will I'll just you know also tell you that the cities especially city of Newbridge is looking at a possible grant through the state through the stand Mayfield environmental it's a pot of money that they're looking and seeing that's possibility I know the lobbyists for the city sat down with Senator Mayfield during session to discuss the possibility about seeking funds for their portion if you will so they are looking at that as an avenue for their funds thank you so much for staying on top of the apprenticeship bill and and Harry for a Harry certification and maybe the rest of my commissioners since they weren't as involved as I was can you mention what went through which I think will be very good for am skills hopefully so yes that bill did pass the that was one that represent amber Mariana was working on so now what this bill will do is create education workforce for our state so our K through 12 and also our college has to look at another way of educating our students to prepare them for the workforce if you will and it also creates a funding source that nonprofits could go directly to the state for funds such as am skills as a possibility rather than going through the school district or through the college system so I again this is a way of saying not every student is cut out for the traditional college track that there are great careers available and manufacturing plumbing a construction with apprenticeship programs as a way to get them in those jobs so that's that's a whole really the whole impetus behind that bill yes money comes down from Washington it'll come down you know to

the Department of Labor's is under the Department of Education now and and then they dispersed it but it's gone to community colleges and you know traditional schools in a registered training program like Garza was not eligible to apply and be competitive for the grants and many times these colleges have to use a registered apprenticeship program to be eligible for the grants and so they've used em skills many times but never given us any money so it's it's it's been a real frustration and I I'm just very glad that they had the wisdom and thank representative Mariano for I'm helping she was the introducer of a house bellman and all kind of more but that they just let us compete on these grant applications and and so now we will be able to in some work very thankful yes I know represented Maria was delighted to get that bill through and it was just I think unanimous across the board that's great I mean it's amazing to get that thank you another one when she was thrilled was with the extra credit dollars I mean she had approved through her first term in got that through but it was a temporary thing and had to be finalized for the first time now it's actually finalized so instead of these engineering students that may change majors paint double tuition now it's like funded out much better farmers oh that's good Ralph thank you for everything to belabor appreciate it okay that ends the regular items at this time we go to Oh business just mister more so we talked about transportation by Sam Morningside got the five million which I think is obviously really good or obviously the county as a whole because of the public safety aspect of it easier access obviously for the ambulance is getting in and out so that was definitely a positive for this especially that force in the county I think we'd all agree Soph some other problems also was flooding and some others right yeah yeah I think but think about the big picture right yeah so I really don't have too much I'm happy Nurses Week to the nurses out there many nurses in the audience it's nurses week so my wife's moving one item that I think is pretty pretty awesome is that we know that the u.s. a disabled hockey tournament was what two three weeks ago I think it was and that's been three weeks ago now and we talked about the guest Mintz was about 1200 room nights well they definitely surpassed that it was 2,000 room nights and passing County hotels so that's huge and that actually set the record of any event in the history of Paso County when it came to room nights that event set the record so congratulations obviously the the tourism team Adam in your team excellent job I was advocates in her ice along with our local hotel Earth that participated in the in the program because again 2,000 room nights for a tournament is pretty pretty pretty incredible so I know we'll see more of that in the near future I seen Adam nodding his head will

see it more of that in a near future which is great but again 800 room nights more than what was estimated so way to break records we love that I think we're looking at possibly having those conversations and thinking maybe would love to bring it back and what three more years you can nod your head and think that's right yeah they're already obligated to I think Pittsburgh next year and somebody at somewhere else that you're after that that we can bring them back but I know how much they said they loved it so we'll get him back here I know pretty awesome stuff besides that I mean I really don't have anything if you if you're ever out in the watch the chapel area take a look take a ride by the wire grass ranch Sports Complex it's moving and grooving and a lot of darts moving out there and and hopefully sooner or later the weather needs to agree with us and hopefully hopefully would get off the ground like I said sooner than later we're looking forward to that so that's all I got all right mr. key well I'm continuing on the same vein as commissioner more you it was brought up in the workshop so I'm gonna go ahead and bring it up much more to be discuss I'm what Keith is still here but my husband my husband serves on a board called positive coaching alliance with with bill wicket from the lightning and they approached him to approach me to talk about putting in some roller hockey while a roller hockey field here in Pasco County it's a program that they have going on where they're going to invest in the counties around Hillsboro to encourage you to get involved in roller hockey and build that fan base I think it's very smart and and so Dan miles Keith and trade and I had a wonderful meeting with a couple of folks from the Lightning and we did get them to commit to two fields in Pasco County and I believe we have to you know put the land in and I think we pour the pad you can't remember how much more we do and I guess some of it depends on us all Tamar's putting a roof in over there and I'm making it you know all-weather facility but I'm just really grateful to the Lightning for agreeing to put to come in with two two facilities they're gonna out bring all the equipment and be very engaged in our program so it's a win for our citizens so I know Keith's working on where those fields might be I have an ongoing problem with dumping and holiday lakes and it is getting worse and worse we've already we've we filmed one group of guys dumping into a canal they're from a construction site and they are I believe the Sheriff's Office is federally charging them but the dump we cannot keep up with the dumping that's going on out there and holiday so I need some cameras and I need something but it's it is out of control and it's it's just been escalating so we have all kinds of appliances in the canal reached out to Mike about oh yeah they're they've been out there and they the minute they leave someone comes in and takes in a whole new load and dumps it

in there so I asked if we could have a transfer station out there but I was told we needed 40 to 60 acres however I was meeting with people and we looked at a transfer station in Tarpon Springs that's much smaller than that but I think the answer is to find a place where people can more conveniently dispose of their trash clothes because it's a far Drive to go from holiday Lakes to Hayes to Hayes Road and I think it would be cheaper for us to have a transfer station than to keep going out and cleaning out all this trash that's going along strauber and ain't close and and all those roads out there did one at Tarpon Springs I have someone bring it back to me what the dimensions are or the footprint of that one in Tarpon Springs how small it is and it apparently works very well lastly I keep asking for lights someone to tell me how we can get just a few lights on trouble Creek I think I've been asking for a couple years I've seen nothing so I don't know what the process is but I've asked and asked it's it goes from light to dark to light it is a collector Road so it'd be us but there are some businesses that have some roads out there I have some lights that that adequately light the sidewalk that people are on or but there are places where it gets really dark and there's quite a bit of traffic foot traffic on sidewalks so again I am asking and I'm hope you put this on your action item so at least hear something act of some lights on the trouble cream and if you haven't seen it the landscape being on 19 is looking fabulous mm-hmm Commissioner Mary on are they up in your district yeah not yet yeah really nice and everyone's very excited for it so thank you very much that's it we're Sherman I apologize real quick it is also teacher appreciation week to our educators out there I said Nurses Week but it's also teacher appreciation week so thanks to all educators that are probably not watching us on television right now because they are teaching we should having a very important spell oh wait I want to do somebody happen would you come up KB so um I did a little different route and I elevated Michelle to my legislature and so I wanted to introduce my new executive assistant this is Catherine Babcock we caught her Kb and Catherine want to tell a little bit about yourself hello yes I graduated from Florida State University that's my harder last time I got my degree in political science and I recently worked on former senator Danny young his campaign was a great experience and I also worked on Wendy Pepe's campaign she recently ran for Tampa City Council so now I'm here and to tell a little bit about your family history here in Pasco Canada which I didn't know when I hired her yes so my family my dad was born in New York but then they relocated to Pasco County they lived off of 52 in beacon woods on the golf course and my grandfather was the president of community bank when it was here so or any one of them and my father who I guess was on their board yes yes no

relation two bags not furniture family no Alice I don't know you can check if there's any lineage there that's like c-bro didn't have a very nice ranch welcome thanks Alvin collar-cam we will hold Florida State against you Thank You mr. chairman last meeting I think we talked about a property on Ivanhoe with a blue roof on it snaps actually working on that now hopefully we'll get some help with it I've got a luxury a local roofer that will actually help donate to to defray the cost we get in there but we need to get in there just to see if there's black mold in that house to make sure that people are safe we had a big rainstorm the other day and I found a new thing that needs to get looked at and I think staffs already working out like Nancy Benitez from Gulf Islands called in did you have that picture yeah okay there's a picture of some water that accumulated and I'll tell you from on Beacon Woods drive or actually south on 52 with majestic is a Walgreens day we just put a sidewalk in there's a ditch that runs down in that area and I've never seen water in it where we're gonna put the new new fire station off fifty-two there's an area that's down part of bell pylons which sometimes get water sometimes not this last storm they got a major flow of water that's in there was foam like a little bit of a river you might say and staff is now gonna look at they think the drains are clean clogged and that may be why we never see water getting into the other ditch that's right there so Mike if you could have you happy even go up with staff to go take a look at that but I think their residents are onto something as far as where that water should flow and why how its blocked which may explain why the one who never gets there and I think it could could help that whole area I recently got a few emails this past week you might have heard the links Gulf Coast and Hudson is going to be shutting down I know a few years ago the owner of the links who now owns beacon woods Golf Course went to the residents about a product of two try to get some capital money from them trying to do some voluntary it did not work I don't know what he plans to deal with it but the residents are very concerned between wetlands out there and some areas that might been filled in I'm not sure how the drainage is gonna work out there out in the area or how even well that actually fits to actually develop homes if that's his objective but is there photo but it's something that so this is that roadway that's right there and there was like little literally additions down the street that could connect so we need to make sure that there was a connection there that's opened if it's closed it's gonna be poured for 16 illegal structure parked in front of someone's house well then they who knows where that came from where I get a good move from anyway so again Mike I know you're working I'd be happy to go out there to 20 with the with the golf course I've actually

reached out to the owner after several residents have called me there's nothing in development right now to looking at the project as far as rezoning or anything else but he just plans to shut the gulf coast on I'm just hopeful he's not going to do what the owner of the timber Oaks Gulf Coast it was just played hardball with the people make him suffer make coyotes go out there you know let the look the thing just go to pot before they actually bring something forward so I just want the board to know I'm gonna be looking at this closely and hopefully we can find a better situation because I just don't want to see that all the health of the community go downhill and the impact effected by the clock the links Golf Club they could continue do an MS bu and buy it and make it into a park like I said these people bought here for a golf course it's designed for a golf course it's hard to do much else there's a picture of it right there you can kind of see the Golf Course around the area now that center part of the area is not part of the Gulf Coast there is developable land there I know years ago they talked about trying to make something happen it may just make it more accessible there but again I'm not sure what's going to happen with the property but around it it's really tough to it would be tough to put any homes in there anyway never mind what was the stability of the soil is in that area and I think with our new laws of but as far as we need to build if you have a sinkhole prone area you can't go do you've got to go around it I don't know how much viable and they'd actually anyway but I just hate this people see the people suffer while this because this goes forward so I just be let you know what's going on I think it's true yes so do you know if the owner attempted to sell the actual golf course was it on the market know that they'd sit down yeah they bought it with the personal used to be a partner with the meadow walks Golf Course years years years ago they split off so he he retained ownership of that and he did try to work with the residents about getting contributions to come in for capital expenditures like a five-year plan from what I was shown there were it I don't know how it exactly played out but yeah they didn't agree to it but you know talk to some folks there they're willing to sit down talk it through or there could be a better way to go for it so what they did a plantation palms just you know cuz I shut down for got to know the people there really well and know some of the people are on the board there with the owners now they worked a deal between the HOA on the CDD it's an HOA mmm the HOA worked with the residents and when the new ownership came in the HOA at the residents to agree to pay a word I'm looking for I'm trying to go ahead sessoms know it was an assessment it was it's more of a each of them have a clubhouse membership that's why I should say okay we all agreed to pay for it doesn't mean they gonna play call but kind of a club

membership mmm he tore my paper so that helped the new operator come in right obviously and try to at least try to break even for a while hmm while they were building because the new operator to come in and redo redo the entire course there's a lot putting millions of dollars in it to get that thing in shape but the residents agreed on because they wanted to keep their golf course mhm and it's worked so it's working now that's the only way these things yeah so that's an idea unfortunately the card owner is gone but maybe they can try to find another odor that's willing to come in if the residents are willing to have paying that close membership mandatory membership I guess you could call it's not that much money right I can't tell you exactly what it is but I I know it's like under $100 mom okay if you that's an idea if you could get me that type of information I was kind of like brains I'm hoping it brings them a little bit to talk about it because I know I know how it's having before but I hadn't thought about plantation Paulette then it is a great community yes it should be a golf course this is like the same type thing another great golf courses plantation for Toms but still that integral part of the community where people love it there and I think at this point they're willing to really take a look at that they would actually Chad that conversation couldn't find out how to do it so I want to study from plantation palms I'll bring those ideas to them so creative now and then also there's a new ownership recently Alexa cute Oaks so you can maybe reach out to the new owners there okay they did purchase it I'm not saying they're looking to buy more golf course I'm just don't stuff out at you because I understand the situation going through because that philosophy off course is obviously my district Annette and unfortunately they don't always make it nowadays no and I think what people have learned from let's say timber Oaks that they don't want to go see that go down to pot and just have to spend more to bring it back there if there's a way to make it happen now those are two great examples and I'm gonna try to learn from those and see what they did but thank you you gotta appreciate it just one other idea you know we go to the state legislature we try to look for money I mean you gotta have a plan in place you have costs in place to try to make things happen I know represent of Mariano tried to work with representative Z corrupt but Hudson and angle Park to try to go do something there they do push on designs to bring something forward it might even take matching investment I've talked to staff for a long time and I want to say out of Sunwest Park the new walkway is fantastic people love it it looks really good it's gonna protect the sand as well as gives you a chance to walk around but you can't cross the whole leg yet staff

was going to do some studies next year to go find out you design the design a project I don't really want to wait another year if we can find a way maybe staff can budget item back to us to go find out what it would take actually designed to connect the trail around the lake which may be going upland maybe going across the water we can go trying to get all the funding for it but unless we have that plan in place we can't get it and I really think we have now to October to get that plan in place before committee weeks happen to try to make make that happen and again then we're going to do it next year I just want to try to see we can find a way to move it up so maybe the staff could bring an agenda item back I don't need to make a motion for that or can we just well I mean you're gonna add more general fund money into the parks budget in order to make that happen so you can be plenty out of reserves as a and it's you know we're going through the budget for 2020 right now that you know I don't even remember what we call where that is on the priority list for for Park so you know I know obviously to the board if the board wants to do that then we'll do that you get it like a three month window to get it done if you wait till October you're not gonna get it till the following year I just don't know where that is on our priority list and and there's there's other things on there that I don't I'm just not ready to pull a trigger on a certain project without looking at all the projects and seeing which ones we want to go after for legislative appropriation can I can I tag on that a little bit cuz I was gonna bring this up earlier too so it has to kind of deal with what you're talking about this is just my I don't know if we're all still here I think Ralph yeah around oh there's Ralph I think going forward to is one thing we need to consider when we do our legislative priorities is that we need to slim it down a little bit and and wrap you don't have to respond or it's your call but it's just a thought you know look at one a district or something like that because when we throw it is my opinion too when we throw 20 30 items on them or 15 items whatever it may be it can be a little over a little cumbersome and it'd be nice just to go in there with you know 3 4 5 that's it info yes and I think Ralph can tell you and that's kind of how I work it every year myself I mean I try to really focus on a particular item and just work hard on that item what you find out though that like in mine and your district we're growing so much there's a lot of need coming up in our district where it might not be and not that there's not other needs well I I think everybody has neither I don't think but it doesn't have to be and I understand what you're you're saying but I just don't it's my opinion that we need to very closely this next time around so I have a feeling we Ralph's going to come to us rather quickly because in the fall they're gonna start the committee weeks

is that we need to slim it down you know and again that's nothing to buddy with yours I'm just this is something I forgot to mist our guard up a legislative priority I just wanted to bring that up because I forgot about our inspector I I personally don't think it should be by Commission district but I think we should look for one key project in our legislative district so one key project to go in Commissioner for represent of marianas to one for Rd ins and the only problem is we get a lot of assistance from Senator Simpson so one in each House members district and and at least one in each senators district and make sure we're working with them and they're behind it so that we can all push that together but I think we should do five separate legislative acts well you're doing like 20 now so I'm trying to slim it down a little to give an idea you know rightfully some people appeared on that that I didn't vote for and didn't consider as a priority through the county and I was kind of a surprise to me so I but Bravo let's hear your expertise mm-hmm III think you know at least one per district frankly and I think it's absolutely for Commission district you want to keep you want to go on a commissioner that knows what he needs in his area what he wants to put forward and and I think we're elected that way I think it's regionally sets up it what bounced up population wise so that Commissioner can lead the way and it may even be to might be the number depending if we have let's say a senator Representative kind of work together on a project it's in their district that may be split in a couple of districts you know are very close to it so I think at least one per but I but I think Commission well you are dead on the money well I look at those lists how do we go spend five minutes with someone in an office and say these are what we want it doesn't work and they can't go put five two things together they get certain appropriations going through and this year this year was we knew with me Tuffy of appropriations next year could be a better year and that's why I'm I brought up my idea to you I want to get just the study done you know hearing from amber how things have to work up there and what she faced up there if we're gonna go look at a project you better have the designed so you know what the cost is gonna be if you think it's gonna be a certain number they don't want that they want to know that something's been designed of what the cost is going to be so I will say I think commission will you get in the money we need to shrink it but I think we should have responsibilities as a commissioner to at least bring one of our own and if we get a representative in the Senate of the say you know what we want to bring this to then we add that to the list and we all work together on it because then if we have everybody saying okay we only got ten projects or whatever maybe instead of 30 then we get a much better chance to get them through Thank You mr.

chairman I'm gonna have to agree with you all and I appreciate you bringing that up now since we are heading in and I'm gonna be coming to y'all within the next couple of weeks to start preparing for next year's list I think short and sweet condensed this is best won by district is a good way of a me night my Commission district I think what we really need to look at are the the big projects of the big infrastructure projects which we have plenty of them on our that we know that we need to do shovel ready is another category that the legislature likes for us to be prepared and ready to go and not just planning for projects and funding for plaintiff projects but but I was thinking the same thing I noticed when I would give to not only our delegation but to other legislators our priority even our small you know trifold that we have put together that just boggle their mind that just that just it was too much it was too much they're they're used to getting something on like a little card and I thought this year coming forward we would have not only focused on on our budgeting needs but I did start working to address a policy issue that our county attorney has been wanting to address for several years that our delegation is willing to work with us this year coming year and that is the public records issue okay so again short and sweet condensed is best and I appreciate that single palm card you can put Roger to the front right and policies in the back question cuz again the start of the conversation do what can I get a staff to bring back at the board's approval to go bring back a cost estimate of what it would take to design the walkway to connecting at Sunwest just to just give us a number what it would cause and then we can look at it and vote on but it is let me get the agenda item in front of us wouldn't see it okay that's my motion second we'll put on the action item list and so Wilson you men will kind of outline what the cost that would be no it needs to be a board action to tell you what the cost is okay and then if then you want to bring it in give us direction to do a budget amendment then you can do that I mean after we give you a memo outlining that so that sounds good if I have it for the next meeting we could look at it we like that we vote on it and get us in position because literally we don't have a lot of time buy them with me fine yeah thank you just a few things I'll start with as we have a golf course in the screen the timber Oaks project is complete sled is done thanks to engineering services a project management and a bunch of other teams that worked on that including the local community so we were complete there if I could mr. chairman just there talking about that it's the people absolute delight I know we had the final details yet and we're still working a couple of details out but my cue to your whole team did a phenomenal job to take that property from flooding all the time only having three million gallons of storage 293 million and everybody there is
