particular school that I work at we have over 90% of our students receiving free or reduced lunch and so any little bit helps a pair of shoes means so much to our students and to our families the donation of shoes to our school really feeds our school we have so many children that and I say children but they're young adults who are very needy as far as material things they need shoes they need jackets one girl in particular just the other day she had an interview for a job and she did not have the right type of shoe for the job and we provided her with that shoe that she needed she subsequently got the job she did well in the interview and that job is going to feed her through the rest of her high school years and it's also going to help pay the rent one little girl smallest food ever with a biggest smile she came in she didn't really have any issues except for flip-flops and pretty cold outside so she came in and gave a pair of shoes never met her in my life and then after she got the shoes she came and gave me the biggest hug that word you know one of the examples I can think about there's a little boy who is a kindergartner and you know he had holes in his shoes they were just miserable and you're coming to school with shoes that just aren't you're not putting your best foot forward then you really don't have that confidence and we got him some spider-man shoes and let me tell you I can't tell you how excited he was just to see the look on his face you know he gave us a card thanking us for those shoes and talked really about how much they meant to him and how good he thought about it teachers are so grateful when we came in with all the boxes and the bags and all the hundreds and hundreds of pairs of shoes teachers had tears in their eyes they just they they were just absolutely bewildered that there was so much compassion and to the green box well I can just say on behalf of the entire student services department social workers across the district and I have a team of 70 we are incredibly grateful for the two-bit souls program each year and what it brings and the fact that each year there's increasingly more numbers of shoes and socks just shows the generosity of the Commission and everybody that participates in terms of Pasco County in general and so we're just continue to be blessed by this partnership in this collaboration and again I'm truly grateful on behalf of everybody that's benefited but everybody that's just sort of participated in the process and making sure those two good souls make it on the right feet [Music] Raigad deputy superintendent sent the Armstrong and Alison crumbly from the school board and Danica Cockrell supervisor of student support programs and they have a special presentation for all of you it's a pleasure to be here today I wanted to kind of explain this process after the shoes the shoes and we dispersed them I wanted to I'm trying to teach gratitude at all levels because it doesn't matter if it's a hand out or a

hand help up you we need to teach people on all levels kids from pre-school all the way up gratitude and how to be grateful and thankful and pay it forward so this really came to be where I tasked all of the social workers at their schools when they were handing out shoes or to do a shoe recognition project so they were with their kids they kind of deep sky was the limit in terms of what they could do as their presentations and so today we wanted to just on behalf of Pasco County Schools the social work team all of student services just present you with the Thank You gratitude project that we have put together so this book is just an example it's from Pasco high school and they actually did pictures and the theme was we're willing for a new pair of shoes take me and so it's full of aspirations and dreams one you know I want to be a traveling nurse I want to be a lawyer I want to go in the NFL neurosurgeon a marine biologist and so this just really speaks to we can get somebody something physical and it can manifest something so much greater than that so on behalf of everyone we just wanted to say thank you and present you with all of this great Thank You superintendent Kurt Browning couldn't be here today so I'm standing in for him but I want to thank the county cathy pearson and all of these wonderful people standing behind us smiling for the great work that they've done for children in our schools and I think we all take great pleasure and going out and get the new pair of boots or new pair of shoes but maybe it was a role reversal but when my daughter was growing up I always took her school shopping and you know when you take kids shopping brings pure joy to a little kid to get a brand new pair of shoes especially if there's spider-man shoes or special pair of basketball shoes and so these shoes that people are collecting for these kids bring joy to their lives and you can see it in their faces when they get these shoes and we thank everyone that has participated in this project well I'll just add real quickly that I heard a really great stain the other day and first of all it's thanks to all of these folks that you should never look down at others unless you're reaching down to help them up and the shoe piece is incredible I work our volunteer on Thursdays at Gulf middle school and they have a treasure chest there for the kids that need anything clothing shoes supplies and every Thursday about five or six pair of shoes go out the door because they really really really need shoes I know you know how important this is but I can't emphasize it enough they really use these shoes and we can't thank you enough Kathy you you had this up in an in Citrus County right and wonderful team leaders here you can see some of the boxes that I took some pictures I have three pictures tell tell them what these are so Wow the big shoe there was Gary joy yeah so the big red sneaker that was one of the boxes and the big white sneaker I'm not sure where that came from but big white one is the tax

Gulf harbour Civic Association I live at five zero one seven Dory drive-in Gulf harbors commissioners you may know Gulf harbors and the associated communities around it were developed in the 60s and building continues today on the few remaining property lots of build all farmers flora Meyer was the first community we built to be built followed by a Gulf harbors woodlands and finally go Harbor sea forest these communities were designed to provide deep water at Gulf access to the maximum number of residents through a series of canals although the canals were relatively narrow the developers provided wonderful water views by laying out relatively straight canals and leaving backyards deep and open all of these communities are protected by some form of deep restrictions Gulf harbors flormar's covered by a non mandatory HOA or Civic Association while the woodlands and sea forest are governed by HOAs due to the building of other smaller communities between the woodlands and sea forest and around the original sea forest development sea forest HOA is now called Gulf landings and includes many of those smaller communities that have since been built around them in the early 2000s with the rising costs of court and legal fees the Harbor communities came before the Board of County Commissioners and requested that an ordinance be dressed drafted and passed that would be the same and therefore support our prohibition on covered Knox covered boat lifts and other vertical structures on the water Commissioner Hildebrand champion that effort in section 1 and one who was passed when an ordinance becomes outdated or is irrelevant to current issues it should be changed however in this case section 1001 is more important and more relevant to these communities than ever before and although it's time to improve the language as written in the new ordinance the ordinance was passed to ensure that waterfront property owner views would be maintained on the narrow channels as built and therefore maintained an increased property value this is clearly occurred with the significant rise of home prices and the increased tax revenues which this county has reaped this ordinance was originally passed to ensure that no hazards to navigation are constructed along the canals that would interfere with the voters view of the canals and docks and allow a mix of boats of all sizes from kayaks to mega yachts to operate and remain clear of each other we have an admirable safety record in our community even with the increasing size of vessels thank you for your comments time's up and you can there's two hearings so you can speak more this is the second hearing okay ordinance says it's written what we do have a problem with is slipping in any sort of covered docks in that area again it's a safety hazard and an issue not only for views but for safety of residents we understand Thank You Nicholas Madhuri good afternoon commissioners my name is necklace Madhuri I live in five four one five Jobeth Drive New Port Richey Florida

within the Gulf landings community golf landings is a waterfront community with over five hundred and seventy eight units and as a prior board member for over six years but we have received many requests to have cover docks most of the people have a substantial investment that is sitting behind their other waterfront property and they would like to have a dock to protect their vessels sometimes these vessels are in the hundreds of thousands of dollars they don't mind the pain the tax on them they don't mind paying the property but a cover dock would also increase the property values many waterfront communities in Florida do have a covered covered docks and allows for the covered dock so I hope that you pass this resolution thank you thank you for coming one less person signed up Michael camera [Music] anyone complain about the view the only thing they want to know what when they can get theirs we will put anyone up and go farmers on top sale and we were stopped back in ou 10 they changed the law and took my pyramid back he sued he won he has a roof I don't see why anybody else can't have him Thank You coach okay does anyone else is anybody that has not signed up would like to speak come forward 93 San Mateo a portrait okay I'm here for the Murphy folks are Murphy's and they live in Hudson Beach and they they have a dock they have a real nice boat that they've actually replaced the top of the boat two different times because the birds come over and they sit on it now if you don't if you have a roof over that I don't see that that's going to happen these people have a lot of money that's invested in these boats and I just think it's it's a good thing to have a roof over all right all right thank you for your comments anyone else yes sir come forward state your name and address I am in favor for roofs our canals are approximately 145 feet wide right now between leisure beach and signal Cove there are probably 50 60 maybe 80 roofs that have already been put up and have stood the test of time I think it's imperative that these roofs be placed on top of the investments that people have made I can tell you for a fact in leisure Beach when they were first made they were sold for $15,000 they now sell for over 250 to almost $300,000 this definitely would be a benefit and not only to the community but to the tax base and to the protection of the docks and the boats that are in the areas I've seen quite a few stand the test of time I'm for it I'm sure that with the ones that have been there there is some kind of resolution that can be made whether it be temporary or permanent I'm not speaking about boat houses I'm speaking about covers if anyone is in boating they realize how much boating actually cost in the investment but boating is actually an eight billion dollar industry in this state it is a recreational thing it is also commercial our canals are used on a daily basis I've lived there for many years I have

friends and family in Gulf harbors as well as in leisure Beach and signal Cove I am in favor for putting Bruce thank you for your time thank you anyone else to speak commissioners my name is Jeremy gamble a little bit 73 zero nine Islander lane is C puns I also own coastline boat lift covers currently since the begin of the year we've sold over a hundred thousand dollars worth the boat lift covers in Pasco County I've got 78 people who want a warm bowl of covers right now there's a massive demand people all over Pasco County on the waterfront fresh in salt water want to be able to protect their investments as new people move into the neighborhood or into the waterfront communities both fresh and salt they're there they're investing in their dream of living on the water part of that is owning a vessel the majority of vessels nowadays start at 50 to $80,000 even so much more much higher we offer a solution that doesn't block the neighbors views it has a removable top it does not impede the boat lift whatsoever it's a clamp-on design so there are solutions available to people who do want to protect their investment without having the hazards of pieces flying in a hurricane and or blocking homeowners views so I just want the commissioners to take them into account that there are there are ways to solve this problem if looked at properly thank you thank you for coming anyone else no I just like to speak to this item seeing none mr. chair yes sir thank you so this is a follow up I've been in office since you know 2014 now and that's pretty close to how much time I've been working with some people in the lena Lakes community and Lutz community on allowing them to obviously put roofs on their on their docks and the lakes I mean I have not had one person on a lake in that area that says they're against it so I would obviously like to see this move forward as is so we can move on I know there's some additional discussions people want to have in some of those different areas but we need to pass this as is today so we can move on and those people that I've been working with for almost four years now it can actually put a roof again doesn't impede the views doesn't impugn the neighbors views at all these lots are typically you know have a very wide and very deep and again I've had no objection at all from any residents in that area okay pleasures border once pleasures bored I make it move motion to approve an emotion in a second all those does this roll call the discussion as I said when we looked at this ordinance that the problem is going to be lets say the Hudson area and other communities other than Gulf harbors and I understand Gulf harbors has been unfortunately litigating litigating I don't want to open up a can of worms for that to happen at this point but I do want to say that when we adopted this years ago we tried to find a way to make it where anybody outside of Gulf harbors somehow to try to make that happen and we

haven't done that yet mr. County turn if you just talk a little bit to that do you see this any way we're gonna make this happen or we're just going to make like a businessman who just invested and has a demand for our for it not be able to satisfy his clients this is a policy decision but if you but if you change the ordinance to allow it in more than the area that we have that we have been able to delineate for you you open it up for for the entire unincorporated area I don't see a way that you can that you can draw a distinction in the Gulf regime between neighborhood and neighborhood you know it's you you know it's either you are you're gonna allow those cover over structures now they don't have to be wooden construction they can be they can be canopy but if you're going to allow it it's gonna you're gonna have to allow it along the entire Gulf front what if like I guess Gulf harbors has a deed restriction where they can't do it and let's say everywhere else doesn't have that deed restriction can we separate it that way no no you can't you're your land development regulation needs to treat everybody the same if it's if they have a deed restriction they can enforce their deed restriction they don't have to they don't have to allow it that's something that they have that they have done but but I can't you can't carve out neighborhoods that are the that are similar in fashion the possibility of showing a removable one or something that's a discussion you can have and maybe that's the one I brought up last meeting in the meeting before I mean discussion with you know the county attorneys and so I live in mr. chairman and with all due respect to the commissioner I need a policy decision that's that's part of the problem is that we as we brought this forward we haven't had a majority of the board support to look at those issues so sending them to the county attorney's office or or to development services if you want to have a workshop on the issue that's fine but I but I need a policy decision to move forward go right now we're passing this as written well we have a first in a second we're in discussion and yes so I live in Gulf harbors I have probably one of the most expensive boats on the coast and we don't want a roof my neighbors don't want a roof the majority of folks there don't want a roof we don't want our views to be impeded and you can put a cover on your boat the Ackley's have a beautiful boat and they put a cover on it I have some photos that I've sent to the county administrator we take our boat down to the keys I do a lot of boating on the East Coast of Florida and those are very very expensive boats and there are no roofs it is very rare to find a community I'm not sure which one this is if it's east coast of West Coast but keep I took pictures of Fort Lauderdale I took pictures of Clearwater I took pictures of Naples I took pictures of okay here's Fort Lauderdale and then I think the next one zooms in closer not that one going the wrong way

there is nobody a very very few allow on the coast boats over I mean roofs over the boats for safety and for view impediment so you I would like to pass this as it is today and help the people on the lakes where it's a whole different situation and I'm fine with passing it the way it is today but I just want to you know if I understand and we're viewing this and I know we've been talking about it for a couple years the guidelines are up to 15 foot over medium water level structure so even if somebody was to put a roof it still can't exceed 15 feet and we've got boats now that are up on a lift that have a tower on them or have a t-top that are above the 15 feet I'm okay with roofs I think I agree with a lot of the folks I agree with Commissioner Morano I hear folks all over the coast that that want them I've had a dozen people contacting the last six months about it I understand Gulf harbors I but I mean I I also again it's its structure height temporary cover maybe the you know is that considered a structure because the t-tops not or a towers not because they're going to be over the 15 feet but I would be fine passing this today but I definitely has a board I think that I'm in favor of Bruce and figuring out something I know we've kicked this can for a while and we need to just address it one way or the other and if the board if there's not three of us that feel that way then I think that's probably good enough I guess but I would like to have the conversation it doesn't be today but I agree we need to move forward with this but I we to have the conversation with the coast line and allowing covers which I'm in favor of mr. chairman so so let me ask the question the 15-foot height level if there's a dock that's there and it's not 15 feet higher then does it mean lower what's the dimension the way it's written is that there can't be any solid visual type obstructions within that are higher than 15 feet or that are within 15 feet of the mean high-water line except on inland lakes under that 15 figure you could have a roof over a structure you couldn't the way this is written except on inland lakes right now no sorry yes that's the way it's written I've got a motion in a second although it's roll call vote so district 2 Commissioner Moore district 3 Commissioner Starkey aye district 4 Commissioner Wells sorry district 5 Commissioner Mariano district 1 chairman Oakley mr. chair I guess question I have is I heard two board members interested in us looking at the coastline I didn't hear if the from the rest of the board if now that we're done with this do you want us to look at the rest go back look I think we should address that yes make sure we get direction on that respectfully I I think you need to set a workshop on it because I there's there is nothing the County Attorney's Office can do at this point without you deciding how we want to go I mean I can breathe I can bring language about soft tops I can bring language about hard hardened structures but but

without you all agreeing on how to move forward I'm at a loss yeah I think a workshop will bring that out and give us direction I think and I truly feel sorry chairman I feel the verbage we're using within the lakes works but but if we need to do a workshop maybe we can do it next week and spend 20 minutes on it's not going to take that much time my opinion but I think the verbage is fine the way it is and we just need to apply it elsewhere but I just pushing this through because we've been kicking the can a while but yeah just my opinion I want to say to the county attorney you know I know we struggled this years ago we're still struggling with it now but again I'm just trying to get at that level and I appreciate the bullets conversation and I think it's important we let the people in the lakes protect themselves as well and not having to wait and I think the good will of the board is to go forward to try to come to a solution so thank you I don't think we can be ready for my Tuesday we already we have signs on the workshop and you know solid waste master plan on the workshop and we only have two hours in the morning the afternoon is east side city's joint workshop so I think those two topics themselves could end up eating up most the mornings so I think we'll work on something and bring it back into the workshop schedule which is in May I think is the next one yeah okay b3 publication was in the Tampa Bay Times March 14th March 16th and March 20th 2019 public hearing on this item because this is an amendment to Pasco County code so I'm gonna read my title and go over salient points of the ordinance amendments it's an ordinance by the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners amending to the Pasco County Code of Ordinances chapter 18 buildings and building regulations article three building permits section 1838 murmee required chapter 114 waterways article 2 boating and water safety section 114 - 26 definitions section 114 - 39 junked wrecked abandoned or derelict property section 114 - 52 cleanliness of docks renaming said section 2 maintenance of docks and sea walls and other sections as necessary for internal consistency providing for applicability repealer for providing for severability inclusion into the code and an effective thing real quick commissioners I've got it I'm on the canvassing boards I've got to get on a three o'clock conference call they wanted me to drive the date City but we convinced them some Christina I have to get on that so if I could be excused for you may be excused Commissioner this is a separate amendment that we told you that we're bringing forward this basically includes Doctson sea walls in the building permit requirements it also requires a maintenance of docks and sea walls and provides a process by which the county can make repairs when the addition of autocracy offers presents a threat to public safety it also does specifically address certain definitions including the terms

current or following two fiscal years so as I indicated before there is a little bit of redundancy in the information and what we are proposing today is to combine the information into one map and we will rename it the functional I mean the highway vision and functional class map and this way we can also resent the dolphin map 7-1 a which is a 1999 roadway functional classification map we can also resent map 724 which is the future roadway functional classification map this map illustrates the changes that we have made already approved vision roads are the blue roads and the roads that we are proposing to add as vision roads or that are changing their alignment are in red however after we submitted the slides we did make another modification the road yellow County Line Road north between us 41 and bellami will not be in your final adopted highway vision plan and functional class map staff will evaluate different alternatives talk to different property owners and then we will come back to you with certain modifications that whatever modifications are necessary we are proposing in addition to the map changes some text amendments and they are mainly to modify the title reference of map 736 and replace references to map 7 1 7 1a and 724 with map 736 for maintaining consistency with the map amendments previously mentioned and to revise requirements on hierarchy of access for consistency with the Pasco County Land Development code to remove the reference of rule 14-2 from the Florida Administrative Code because this code section no longer applies to the subject comprehensive plan policy they are to revise the process to update map 736 to modify the utilization on button and function of map 736 and to update the criteria for classification of roads to include connectivity requirements this is just one example through them all but here we are simply changing the title of the map since to be consistent with changes that we've already mentioned and we are indicating that we use this map with access management standards to apply these to comprehensive plan amendments and PU DS and that is simply to reflect our current practices here is an amendment that was not presented to you at the time address of transmittal we did present it to de ou when we had no objections and and it indicates that for a property to be considered located within a small or medium commercial node it must be at the intersection of at least two existing roadways or roadways to be constructed within the following two fiscal years in accordance with a land development agreement the counties adopted capital improvement plan or F dots transportation improvement program and functionally classified as collector or higher on the highway Vision Plan and functional class maps map 736 so some additional changes that we made after the slides were submitted and after talking to some of the suffer Hills the city's staff you did classify county line this is not working for Mesa so we did classify county line from Rio one county line

south from stup through your wants us to State Road 39 as a collector Road we also classified Allen Road as the collector Road and a segment of green slope drive as a collector road also after this middle to do we did have some comments from Hernando County objecting to the county line from us 41 to Bellamy being classified as a collector this is kind of like north and so we we deleted that from the final version which I did provide a hard copy for you to see a nicer size and as I said before we are going to evaluate different options and we will come back to you large-scale comprehensive plan amendment and approval of the proposed ordinance by roll call vote I have a question in question or can you can you pull up a map go up like the Google Maps and go to osteen Road please is that wall right wrong here well it's not on there and I want to suggest that we add it for a future road connection and I'll tell you why when you get it up so if you look on your vision map you will see osteen road stopping it and can you can you make it so it's satellite ok can you point the hosting room we're here did you type in Osteen Road that's it there so what I want to show you is where it stops and and it doesn't connect to orchid lake so I want you to see where so you see Marchman and you see wendell Crenn high school there's an elementary school can you bring that down a little bit ring bring them up down you see Marchman technical maybe you should go back to the other one and make it easier you see marchment technical and wendell Crenn there's an elementary school to the left of wendell Crenn that road goes on to the right and it turns right and you see osteen road there there is another school there it's Genesis Prep I believe and then you see Osteen Osteen goes up and stops and there's a there's a short area where it should connect and a number of years ago the Nuremburg tried to bring up that these roads should connect and they got a lot of flack because they are the ones that have Genesis prep and so it looked like they were being very self-serving but when I was on the school board I always thought these two roads should connect because right now all the traffic all the parents going to those four schools have to go in off of orchid lake or don't down that little row dot off of ridge instead of being able to go up from the north it makes everyone go through and drive through that whole neighborhood to get to the school so it seems to me like we should be looking at connecting that little space so that there is more connectivity around those four schools it would make a lot of sense to me there are a few places like that in the county that frankly don't make a whole lot of sense and you you have one or two homes maybe that have don't want the road and then it affects you know a thousand other homes plus all the people going to those four schools so okay so I'd like to suggest we add that to the vision map for a second down in one second here there's a when we sat down there was a road that I had some

concerns about on the map that's over in separate hills crosses Morris Bridge if we can zoom into that you know what's what I'm talking about where you come back in it since it's considered Zephyrhills but it's it's it's obviously unincorporated let me see if I can find it here yeah yeah hold on a sec here I apologize it's really hard me to see this remember linear yes yes so like I live here so I expressed my concern about linear no so linear is a paved road that once it barely gets past the church starts into a pretty much an unmaintained type of dirt road and that's one of the roads that floods terribly in that area literally I've had major issues with that since I've been elected until it's been going on for years and years and it makes it difficult for people to get in and out sometimes so thinking about the future if we ever did connect I mean County would have to take over and I maintain that Road actually raised that road because if you don't raise that road or put drainage in it's useless I mean it when I say if floods I mean it would wash out you guys we would lose that road with probably within five years I would assume so that's us something to take into consideration there's no way we should connect that until that was done it would be useless and you have some color mobile home parks along there and some you know what I would consider you know something your district it's actually a mine okay yeah a couple mobile home parks and so people with some nice pieces of property but also some very low income houses in that area too so no I said if what I said was if we do you have to brilliant a consideration there's a lot of work you would have to do with that road if you ever connected it if you ever connect that road to be tons of work you got the date of that road would be very costly I'd like to look at so if Ansley or somebody can come get with me and we'll and one of them we look at that road and see what might need to be done okay connect no I wanted to make sure that there was another one that was that it and it could be it's just that on here you didn't put a name on it and I think it's Northwood they thought it should become a collector that it connects 56 to County Line Road I think you're referring to Northland palms yeah yeah and we were going to add that to the vision map and I think I think it might be on here but I can't be sure because you have a road there it's one of the few that you didn't put a name on it so when you modify then those come back to us okay can I get some clear direction are you asking Hari to continue this item to add these roads are you asking her to add them in a future update because I think we need clarity I'm thinking to adding them in a future updates where I was like okay well what are we gonna do the future update please these guys have been waiting at number years for that to be changed we can come back to you with the modification I mean this can be if this is a proof today that doesn't prevent us

from coming back with it you can always amend the complan later to add roads but that's why I'm asking for direction so that's what I think if we approve this ya then he'd come back with an amendment like you're talking about right so you're okay with it being amended later that's the question yeah I'd like to go look at that one road for sure that linear okay okay mr. hobby you'd like to say something Clark hobby hobby and hobby PA 109 North brush Street I asked Nicole to put this crude marking up on here and I think I'm speaking the same language as step but I want to be very clear because again as you've noted the scale of the maps are such that sometimes the nomenclature on the map doesn't reflect what our antennas the marked areas you see a bow had a Bowman Road that they had there are new and were just proposed by staff last week and I had not cleared them with our clients that on all the property there so with the exception of a head I should say and so staff has agreed to remove those from this map but I'd like the motion from you all today to be clear that we're removing what's shown is Bowman Road and bathe Head Road between us 41 and Bellamy Brothers Boulevard of course we'll continue to work with staff and if we all get on the same page and when I had these back or add them at another time that may be acceptable but right now I don't have my clients on board with that is that a dirt road map yeah that's right I would like to have it removed now no he asked whether it was a dirt road apparently no it's just going under my clients property right okay yeah the partners marked in there's at that part of Bayhead that's in the hard line the first mile of it that is a dirt right the rest of it and exist until I think you get to the hard line over on that other end of Bowman Road but neither of them sections on there or on the existing map you haven't been able to talk to your client about about those so we need to do that before we add those in okay for the mic please I'm sorry the proposed highway vision map and functional class map doesn't thank you very much thank you thank you um I have some more questions come back so and what does what is the for you for you um when a vision when a road gets added on here what does that do does that mean we we pave it maintain it versus a p-bass or what's the main man I believe that public works is working on to change or working on this policy but as of today I believe that that is still a vast ordinance changes and things are still a work in progress so as we eventually work to change that system out that's not something you change overnight it takes time so so then um what is roadway Drive Northup laughs I'm not even familiar with that road it's it's one that you're adding here and then why are we adding these roads within is that beacon woods jack is that your neighborhood a beacon Woodson though why are we adding the the roads in that neighbor and what the other man and when you have a congested road like 19 it it is a

value to us to also classify some parallel roadways as collectors so that we can try and have access management and also when we can get the right of way and then that way we can provide alternative routes to kind of relieve that congested roadway that was one of the rationales for but you know there is also in the in the comprehensive plan a table that has some criteria of how a road can become an arterial or a collector road and it doesn't necessarily have to meet all of the criteria but some of the criteria so there's different things that we look at one of them could be the spacing how how far is it or how close it is to a collector Road if it's again parallel to a congested roadway and then we also look at this table okay so what where and what is roadway Drive because I'm not familiar with that road it's north of plath well do you have do you have the proposed map that you you can look here but it's this little red one on in in kind of the new port richey area right there sometimes roadways that appear right next to a blue line or it's because they've been constructed and we didn't have the let's say the exact alignment before and so they show up in red as a change but they were a vision Road approved in the past and since we are changing the alignment to it to reflect the conditions the true conditions then they show up in red and that's what it appears that that one is it is yeah we I thought we met on this like Beckett J then we vote on this in January yes okay I just I just want to make sure I missed it but I know we sat down and discussed it yeah it's in my district and yeah I don't know specifically what questions but I agree with the one we all agree with [Music] yeah it doesn't even show up when you is it roadway Drive roadway Lane what does it call into it I wouldn't show up on it's a collector arterial maybe someone can pull it up so mr. wells is it drive is it roadway lane I don't know I mean yeah I'm not sure I know I sat down disgusted was tapped beforehand we went through it but it's been a while coming up a road wait drive it doesn't come up as roadway street so I'm I I'd like a little more information on that road doesn't even show up on on the maps and we're gonna start maintaining it at the counter arterial Commissioner that's my question if it's an arterial core Lecter Road why does anyone know where it is what the right name is yeah I don't know the specifics on this roadway this map depicts roads that haven't even been built yet this a vision map is the map for roads at build-out so there will be roads on here that aren't even built today one particular goes right through the middle of the county so there are roads on here we aren't maintaining it a day and won't be maintaining because they haven't been built yet this is a vision map it's for build out it doesn't depict the roads we're specifically maintained today that's not the intent of the road the

map yeah other questions pleasure of the board just to clarify the motion that's with the revised map that already handed out okay and got a motion a second and I believe roll call vote yes district 2 Commissioner Moore district 3 Commissioner Starkey hi district 4 commissioner wells all right district 5 commissioner mariano district 1 chairman Oakland I motion pass to be six publication 4p6 Tampa Bay Times March 1st 2019 Lynch it's for a rezoning from a r2 r1 image okay p7 also looks like it's with drone six large scope comprehensive plan amendment CPL 1818 Aaron cutoff this is also withdrawing the application from further consideration and no further action is required p8 is continued to a date uncertain yeah so it's going to have to be riad vert eyes so we need to do it [Music] you you can take a motion just for for purposes of the of the records but it's a motion to a date uncertain which requires them to start basically to to re-advertise for their next hearing we're okay I'm gonna turn that motion I need a second second a motion in a second to a time to continue to a date uncertain all those in favor say aye Jimmy go over p9 or continuous second what wait so clerk needs to has this been advertised it has and p8 was advertised on Tampa Bay in the Tampa Bay Times February 8th 2019 and p9 was advertised in Tampa Bay Times on March 1st 2019 okay okay I can get emotional second to continute I'm certain all those in favor say aye mr. chairman sir procedures yes sir there are two rezoning agendas regular and consent staff will present each application to the Board of County Commissioners if staff for Planning Commission has recommended approval and there is no opposition the application will be considered by the board without further presentation if staffer Planning Commission has recommended denial or if there is opposition to the application the applicant will be given five minutes for presentation the opposition will be given three minutes for each individual or five minutes for a group representative and the applicant will be given three minutes for rebuttal any individual disagree with staff or Planning Commission recommendation or anyone wishing to object to any condition of the rezoning may at this time request the petition be pulled from the consent agenda in which case that application will be heard under the regular agenda later on during the meeting otherwise all rezoning applications on the consent agenda will be approved by a single motion and vote if you wish to speak to any petition please give your name and address and whether or not you've been sworn for the record these are quasi-judicial public hearings the law in Florida is that mere public support or opposition is insufficient for this board to take action please limit your comments to those criteria found within the board's land development code anyone is here to

of a typical section and in 2006 the board approved additional standard roadway typical sections for the stream grows this is an example of one of our typical cross sections that was adopted in 2004 and it requires 142 feet right away for a four-lane urban road and this is an example of one of the constrained roadways the constraint cross sections were not used very often and these cross sections were used to establish right away requirements in our corridor preservation tables for arterial and collector roadways in the Comprehensive Plan so this is an example of one of the right away preservation with standards that we would like to propose today it requires 80 feet of right-of-way for a two-lane urban roadway some important rules about right away preservation with standards that we are proposing today is that the planning and development department is proposing to be able to administratively apply alternative standards and implement these so that's applicants don't have to go to the public hearing process if it's not necessary however they do not apply to roads that have a route study that have design plans or precompute ease or proof site plans or FDOT roads the design elements within the right-of-way preservation with standards will be dependent on the surrounding land use context and that will allow staff to make determinations as to say for example if you need a larger multi-use path depending on the area or bike lanes etc and the urban with these routes will apply to urban and suburban areas and here you can see the the top light blue area is the rural area so by us applying the urban standards to the rest of the county will significantly reduce the right of the requirements for incoming developments and so this is a chart indicating the right-of-way required in the adopted sections the right-of-way required indeed proposed right away preservation with standards and the reduction in the top line you do see a blank there and that is because in our urban areas we were mostly applying the 135 feet right away requirement so if we take now that area that I showed you and we require the 80 feet that would be a 41% reduction and right away requirement so here's just an example of a gentleman in mile stretch Road the existing right-of-way there is 33 feet the table requires 50 feet from the center line of the road and if we're able to administrative Lee implement the right-of-way preservation with standards that we're proposing today then we would only be requiring 40 feet from the center line of the road that would mean that his requirement from his property line would decrease from 17 feet to 7 feet without him having to go through there here in process so the Planning and Development Department recommends that you approve the proposed resolution are there any questions for staff yes sir road like Old Dixie up in Hudson the the roadways there there's like no room to go anywhere the sidewalks and a sidewalk in place on one side of the

road sometimes - I don't think Boyd goes far enough to help this situation out there but how do we get to look at that to give you flexibility to say you know what you're gonna come in - gonna go develop your property we're not going to make everybody up and down that road change this to the scene we're going to address that is there a way that that can be incorporated to give you flexibility so you know what when octave expand this road it's not going to change them with but we don't - so it on development anyway and it could be done administratively at the landscaping and they've assured me they can do that with this Oh public excuse me does anybody here to speak to this item see no one no one will approve one second all those in favor say aye aye motion passed now we move back to regular item number five chairman Oakley Thomas tourism director Pasco County in 2018 we started our visitor tracking and economic impact analysis of our initiatives or the tourism industry and over over that year we saw a tremendous growth as it pertains to visitor numbers and today I want to just to go over that real quick and show you the value of what this industry brings to Pasco County starting off with the economic impact of over six hundred and fifteen million dollars in the annual basis you know comparing that to other destinations that's really a large piece of the pie when I'm talking you're talking about the Tampa market our return on investment is every dollar that we spend in marketing generates over a thousand dollars in and visitor spending our correct spending by by visitors it was well over four hundred and thirty six million dollars and you can see what they're spending on as they're coming in to market they're spending on accommodations restaurants groceries attractions and shopping just just a name of a few moving right along those you're gonna see in the next slide about 965 annual visitors came to pass County which which generated on an annual basis over 57 million dollars in sales tax generation and tourist development tax of over 2.5 million dollars that sales tax actually generates from our gas tax the sales tax and property taxes that that are paid on an annual basis by buy properties again our room Knights generation from those nine hundred and sixty five thousand visitors was around just over 1.1 million dollars that actually going back to the fifty seven million dollars that actually saves Pasco County residents two hundred and ninety four dollars on their annual tech actually attack saver for the citizens and residents of Pasco County silver lining to exit what we do we're a job generator so we in 2018 we generated over seven thousand four hundred eighty jobs that are supported by tourism that that created wages of over one hundred and fifty six million dollars on an annual basis which turns into every one hundred and twenty nine visitors that actually come to Pasco County equals one job and again going back to the tech savings of two hundred and ninety four dollars on each Pasco County household and that is basically

it I what I was going to break it down a little bit a little bit in deeper details as it pertains to our visitors the nine hundred and sixty five thousand on an annual basis out of those four hundred and ninety six thousand were paid accommodations three hundred and thirty two thousand or day-trippers and the rest one hundred and sixty 136,000 were visiting friends and family and our total comparison on a quarterly basis you can see our bulk of of what we generate is right now during our high peak season of January of March which generates over two hundred and seventy seven thousand visitors and it generates over 150 million dollars of total direct expenditures which creates one hundred twelve million dollars on an economic impacts deal so wanted to give the board a informational on the value of tourism of what we actually do for Pasco County yes sir Adam you know I'm reading through the slide presentation that you've got I think you've got some awesome information in there I know you cutting it short maybe because we're a little bit late but I I think there's a lot of great information I think the points we're just talking about as far as when these people come in and what demographics coming in I mean I think the median age it's and the thing is awesome and I and I think you know way back when Torsten when it first got started whenever we'd have these special events or coming in or other events coming in we'd always try to have them focus in the summertime because that's when our collections were leased and from what I can see from June on through December it's still that way so it hasn't changed and I think it's good information eyes to see we still need to train that way I think we'll also see that you know as we create more tourism opportunities those hotels are going to get generated but it also has a lot of good slides about what people why people came in what attracted him what they'd like to see what to go by so I think there's something the board needs to hear and I guess Commissioner Wells got a meeting with the value adjustment I mean the báb but whatever the port is the canvassing board sorry but I but I think it I think it's very important for the board to hear the whole thing so I don't I don't want to shortcut this because I was expecting a much longer presentation but I think you get some tremendous information that we need to hear and I think the public good benefit from as well I don't know what the pleasure of the board is yeah well mr. chairman yes and your team is doing amazing things as you I've stated over and over again Adam so we're very a pretty sure everything you're doing go back to those numbers one more time if you would what the economic impact is has been so you look at that number so 615 million dollars he could have an impact that's huge exactly what I was gonna say Adam so now with the new brand out there and obviously amazing job with the for the kickoff it at the airport it's only going to go up you know the

events that are coming through here like Commissioner Meredith just mentioned it's not just during the summertime anymore it's it's year-round when the wire grass for a Sports Complex is finished you can imagine how those numbers are going to increase just I was gonna bring this up during a commissioner I as might as well bring it up now so Friday we have the National disabled hockey tournament coming into town there's and there's teams from I don't know in the nation I think there's people from outside the country possibly coming to yeah so we get two weekends and again approximately how many people are you expecting for that again it was ginormous 1200 room nights and that's huge for that tournament and then a Friday night again by anybody around the the opening ceremonies are Friday night a big drop in the puck at us I don't remember what time but eight or nine o'clock or whatever it may be and there's gonna be a game with lightening alumni that are taking on some of these other athletes so it's gonna be it's gonna be a really really neat neat of that but yeah I just keep on moving on my friend we're actually working on baseball right now it's actually another another great event that's gonna generate close to 1,400 roommates for and that's the focus you know Adams talking about you know the focus has gone from just events to hey how do we generate that ROI as you see here for the citizens of Pasco County so that focus is on on that room those room nights because if they're spending the night in the hotels where they're going out to dinner they're buying their gas here they're going to the shops they're doing everything in Pasco County and you know when we talk about some of these events you know now Adam has team you know when they work with with the events they actually you know stipulations are you know they need to stay in in Pasco County now and now we have the hotels we're gonna have anymore and that's another thing that's gonna help increase this - as more the hotels are finished it's really gonna see higher revenues Adam is our branding question because we saw the Hat and a coffee cup that we had that says Sports Coast as they're being Pasco County used with that enough to the people realized sports shows is that reference of where were actually yes we're talking about the the area of where the asset of where they're actually to be playing at yesterday so we're identifying that the destination has experienced Florida sports coast of Florida sports coast as the brand right and going after it that's necessarily more of a strategy rather than just a logo or name or slogan it's more of a we're going after you know the active family the the active couple the the active traveler that's looking for outdoor adventure but also looking for youth tournaments and amateur sports eventually I mean use from both both Pasco County along with that so that they recognize that sports coast means Pasco County inators yes okay that's what I'm asking because it doesn't have Pasco County with that

emblem that was going back to our research during our brand analysis of we were and who we are now nobody through our research we did a and B testing no one through our research knew what Pasco County was from a tourism perspective and no one knew and there was an opportunity to own Florida sports coast within the Florida market because no one home a sec a quadrant of authentic and and and natural and that was an opportunity for us to grab and take ownership so we owned this brand is there okay copyright yes in the process of okay all right yeah the question so I drove when I flew in from Washington last week or whenever life's a blur right now the whole plane was full of athletes young athletes coming down to play in the hockey tournament at the at the center ice boys teams and girls team so it was very interesting it was the Southwest might have do you take into account all the people staying in these are all the home aways I know there used to be a map like this of Airbnb rooms available are we counting those or what are we doing with all those people we are serving us but Downton st. germain our research firm is actually surveying consumers or heavy foot traffic areas at attractions or public areas or even hotel lobbies the Airbnb ease the vacation rentals consists of only 2% of our visitors are actually staying so the bulk of visitors are actually staying at hotels and then also we're staying at visiting visiting friends daily but so do you add 2% onto your numbers or do we just not count this group at all it's it's added into our numbers of identifying what properties you're staying at so if we go back to or [Music] analysis on visiting friends and family day trippers so the day trippers are 332,000 and the visiting friends and family are 136,000 on an annual basis for the visitors that have traveled to Pasco County so they're either staying in vacation rentals are saying in RV parks or campgrounds sounds good questions so I guess we don't hear the whole presentation I think the presentation is awesome I mean the slides it's got the data with it it's got the data where the people are coming from it tells you your average vacation or is 44 years old median household income seventy five and twenty six percent travel with children typical long-term 92019 percent were children when it looks for additional activities it's asking for more outdoor activities more family-friendly activities more restaurants which I think will come when what tourism comes in water park music festival animal accounts shopping options so I think these are things that are gonna be important for us as we make decisions on what to get behind and what not to it talks about I think it's a huge percentage but people drive in here 91 percent I believe is the number only 7% fly in I was surprised at that number but that tells us who's coming in the the things that we need to go push on I think I didn't be we affect it now something else that I want to bring up

the Commissioner Starkey had mentioned a long time ago and I thought we'd get in discussion toward committee reports but being mature here I think it's a big thing mr. stark you would mention like on our buses that we have it'd be good if we could put you know advertising little things around the buses and I think with the bus negotiations that are going to come up that we look at getting a maybe a little spot or two if they can be done and and I think cooperatively the bus people blackjack will probably do it is get a few spots and we can advertise the ice ranked the tree hoppers Sunwest the new park that's coming up Starkey Park etc etc all the way up and down that if those things are on there that'll be a good little addition to when people out and around they'll actually see it and that's 91% of our people so I think that's something good if staff can go work that and I think you get cooperation with it anyway but the questionnaire any and ask any questions there's another place I would like to do more marketing I'm not sure how much I would relate to tourism but when I call the county and I get on hold I hear music and I would much rather hear us talk about our story when I'm on hold and we should have professional people no not me I think we should have positive stories about the county in messaging when you're on hold instead of music I think I think you should we should take that extra step I mean when you go to the airport you're riding that tram back and forth whose name do you hear yeah oh come on coming in and I think that it would be a good thing for each one of us that wanted to do those voiceovers I think it's a great idea we can say talk about our satisfaction survey or we're opening up a new park or great thing you know things to do this weekend or I don't know how much we want to change but we definitely should be using that time while people are on hold to talk about our story I mean we want to give you a high level overview soon after we got the information in today's agenda didn't allow for a deep dive based on everything else is on the agenda if the board would like to come back for a deep dive we can you got all the data in the in the in your report so I mean all the information is there you know so you know I will look at the schedule and see if it makes sense otherwise we'll just we'll you know you have all the information good for us to talk about it as we go along to and as we ask questions we can get deeper into it let me float an idea a question kind of to you as far as thinking about up and down as far as 19 goes you know we've got the Belmont in the Howard Johnsons is another one down in Port Richey you've got a lot of hotels in the city of Newport you just did something about their motels whatever where they don't want this to be just a low-income project to go through and and I was only talking with Ernie Monaco about all these hotels that we have that aren't

generating any revenue like the hotels are supposed to do which really holds us back from where we go if you haven't take a look at that I want to get into that conversation might be something good for us to bring up to what do we want to do about those hotels is there a better way to look at doing affordable housing somewhere else that habitat townhome projects would be good to push it on as far as getting those off 19 and into regular places where people can live as opposed to just living in a hotel room all right no action on this item thank you for the information now we go to old business mr. Moore go to Commissioner Stark if you don't mind come back to me because there was one thing willing to bring up but mr. whales not here tomorrow on your desk the gentlemen here from Cruz Lake and just recently are actually just at the break today he actually came up to me and he said the Florida Department of Agriculture has done a reclassification taking away an exemption for the 501c3 and it's going to hurt them quite a bit Jerry Smith ins here if we could entertain the booty can actually talk about what he's going through right now what he's going through because I will tell you as much as I think we've done a great job helping them up with Cruz Lake give him the spot I think Jeff you'd come forward just kind of tell the board what's going on and I've put a I had Amanda write up a letter for each one of us we wanted to sign it we'd send it on it might be helpful to him to get to what's going on back in 1998 ordinance passed through the agricultural commissioner exempt us from taxes for permits etc for our railroad laughter here but was actually for Largo Florida which I was vice president down there and then we expanded up here what's happening is is that I'm actually on the Committee on the inspection Oversight Committee in the state of Florida but for the agricultural commissioner and what they've trying to do here and I and I don't disagree with what they're trying to do except they're doing a broad-brush basically throwing the baby out with a bath of bathwater there had a problem with the gentleman up in further part of Florida that has a carnival operation that's trying to sneak into a loophole with the 501c3 amusement excuse me museum extension and it's happened here is the agricultural commissioner has now has wiped that out completely which hurts not just our railroad but other railroads and they're involved in the state of Florida we're trying to an effect I talked to Hudson up in Jacksonville he said it right now as of yesterday they have stopped that portion of it the House bill is still being presented as House bill HB 1267 1267 1267 which i have a copy of it here actually I don't have an I don't have a problem getting getting rid of the exemption for that particular location but it does hurt us financially in the railroad industry where we're going to

have to pay the fees which are quite sorbets and in the amusement industry along with the inspections and things of that nature then we'll have to pay for I can tell you that our railroad and other railroads in this community standards basically what I'm doing here is that will limit the exemption just for railroads under 9 gauge which were seven and a half inch gauge if you get above that twelve inch gauge margin you get into the kismet industry which I definitely agree that there should be a special natures so that's what I'm asking here that you help us out through your Commission's here and you want to take your company's copies with you correct excuse me you want to take these copies with you too we did an individual just so we can give you it will give you each one of ours right done one do one for the board just let the chairman do it I'm fine with that once you learn from the Chairman yeah we can do that make a motion my name make it is you I'll make a motion letter for the chairman to go to the Commissioner of Agriculture to remove or allow for the gentleman's letter second thank you all right I got a motion second all those in favor say aye motion passed mr. wells showed me his I would correct that there is no title it just says I'm afraid so that needs to be changed before you it's got to be changed because this when I've got just an individual Commissioner rather than it'll be changed thank you all right thank you so just just hang around till after lastly I know while ago I had talked into looking into golf cars west of 19 from Del Mar up in the Hudson area up to Hudson Avenue and I think it was a pretty good support for it I'm not sure why it didn't go forward but I'd like to bring it forward again I know we just passed one this morning so it kind of triggered my thought to bring it forward again so I don't know what it would take mr. County Attorney to do what you had just done this morning County Attorney office County attorney for the administration actually take a look at it and figure out how we can actually segregate the area and look at allowing golf carts to be on the street if this street-legal to be up and down I will tell you Hudson has got a major problem as far as the beach area for parking it was actually talking about if we can actually improve the parking lot it along Clark Street coming in where we can actually move with some pervious along the boat parking that we probably pick about ten more spots but I think if we allow golf carts to that might even a lot more space up there it's a very popular area I went through this already if you'll me to jump in I've gone through this with a neighborhood already yeah and this doesn't have a the desert doesn't have an established neighborhood right right no there's no established neighborhoods we would look at it on our own I think the concern is how you get the cough car ser because I'm not sure Dixie Highway is gonna be qualified it's gonna be too

fast Clark maybe okay obviously 19 the traffic's too fast so you're kind of limited just two people live there it's well and I'll tell you if you if you look at from let's say Delmar coming up down as a bunch of Canal homes they're going through there the road going up there Old Dixie kind of jogs around whatever it's in bad shape anyway but you could bring the speed limit down to the 30 if it's not about speed limits about how fast people drive we went through this from harbors the speed was too high to allow golf carts mm-hmm to be for it to be a golf cart community so it's not about the speed limit it's about the speed they actually drive we should go out into a traffic study but we can do that I do that let's write a look and you're just take a step I'm not sure where where it stopped short before but it's gets me a map okay I'll get it to traffic ops and we'll go look at it okay thank you mr. chairman can I'm ready now go ahead so just two things and that is one of the I needed to look something up on a map first before I brought up one thing I just wanted to talk to the team and Dane about we did an initiative on illegal dumping that we had started and you know a little over a year ago and stuff it seemed it kind of fizzled out I was hoping we could look at bringing that back and starting to promote a little bit yeah yeah we did great stuff I am seeing our fine donation bins starting to pop up again left and right and people are starting once again starting to dump by him into this quite a few so we could get that rollin again it'll be great I know Mark and his team did a good job just wanna if we can they consistent if we can get just the locations on the bends will we get code out there oh yeah location yeah but if we can just yeah kick that off again that'd be great in the in the second thing I wanted to bring up is and I probably should just brought this up to you this morning Dan but since it's on my mind now we've had some we've had some issues on 54 where the Walmart is which actually Wiregrass rates Boulevard it where it's visually gonna connect let's consider Wiregrass rest Boulevard I work with Chase and his team they've done a good job patrolling the area or ticketing but we have semis that are using that as a parking lot and that's actually a road and their parking pass Walmart from the dead end and they've stacked up I've literally put myself kind of 15 before and even though Chase is in their team a bit out there on multiple occasions and they take them now they actually will ticket these people they're still coming back so there must be something out there on in the trucker's realm where this is you know on a page they're telling each other where it's a great place to spend the night because they're actually spinning the night there they're not just leaving them there they're people that are popping up jumping off 75 they're pulling off there and they're spending the night there it's it's ugly but it's unsafe at times there was a there was a side road that they were

parking on now we have that posted so they're not parking on that but they're parking Wiregrass Ranch Boulevard when I drove by one day I actually pulled up to one cuz I saw him in there and just let him know kindly sir you can't park there and stuff he had he was he had his clothes hung up in there drying and he was half clothed because he had just woken up so yeah so I my question is now obviously the Sheriff's Office could continue to patrol can we post a sign up there ourselves on that portion of the road saying no parking I mean it is a lily is a road even though it's a dead-end it's it's an actual road and now people are dumping on the on the road too and when I say dumping I have a feeling it's the people that are spending the night that are leaving their stuff there it we do a no-parking resolution you can even designate it I mean it's not the sign it's a road that's not parking it all out on it anyway yeah it's it's not the side of the road it's actually the road it tends to be passed for more it's a dead end now so they're actually parsing in the middle of the road yeah it's a it's a it's a I think it's a collector artery wreck you murmur yeah it's good it connects to that eventually will vision portion of Wiregrass once they build it through it looks like a parking lot right but I'm sure it's a road that no parking Wow so we should be there's no side of the road it's literally the middle of the road so we could look at posting assignment our selves because how many times SOS have to go out there ticket people and I see honestly every time I Drive by it I see other I call that's it thanks maybe two in your folders you have copies of a letter to mr. Tom power and congressman bill eraqus's office and some people in Marco Rubio's office oh I didn't think we needed to get board approval but I'm being asked to get board approval for me and Jack the senator thank you for visiting with us so I don't think I need board all right so Jack and I are gonna sign these didn't you have a copy there so we'll sign one and we'll send them off I I can't recall if I mention this to you if we had a board meeting after we came back from Washington did I mention to you about the press conference with senator Rubio so we have a homeless mom with three kids who lived in metropolitan streets in Hillsborough County and after a year yeah so when I talked to senator Rubio about this in Washington he asked if we would delay the press conference so that he could be here so we're gonna do that press conference in May we've invited the governor and Richard Corcoran and some others so we think that could be turned into a really nice event but they were so pleased and proud of us in Washington with what we're doing and it's a great story and and so was that gentleman today I'm pretty sure they said that hit that he's earning six figures in his job they didn't mention it today but that is just a huge success story to go from homeless to that kind

of earning so and I did go to Panama with the global Tampa Bay and we had a record number of companies attend the trade mission but again we didn't have any Pasco County companies and so I'm gonna work on holding another one of those workshop days for people in our county so they can learn how and why to grow their business with a mind to export because 90% of their market is not here it's outside of this country and that we just don't have enough companies that know how to take advantage of all their opportunities so when we get that organized I'll I'll let you know thank you and just for the record he is making forty five dollars and 67 cents an hour great and six months ago he's homeless and he has a couple college degrees it sounded like so he does a great story and the last meeting I apologize but I was sick I just want to bring up and I know it was on consent and I know we approved it and I spoke to Dan about it briefly but I feel the clerk sought it you know I reviewed it there's a lot to it I feel it's probably one of the most significant audits that we've seen as a board and I just want to make sure we're as transparent as possible so Dan are you planning on bringing something to us publicly to discuss it and see what we've done to fix those opportunities okay thank you sorry I'll just write in the note to make sure that I don't forget what I just committed to do I just have a couple things one today earlier this morning we were supposed to switch from their regular system to the p25 radio systems so trying to get confirmation if it actually happened this morning but if it didn't happen this morning will happen shortly so that system that we've been working on for quite a while went live today dan it's good all right so we are on the p25 that's the new radio network that we've been working on with the new towers and the better coverage throughout the county both the Sheriff's Office we're all on it it's lying so just wanted to let you know that switch was flipped today we've been on that system for about a month what happened today is it went from open traffic to encryption so press release is done and in addition to better coverage as building better building penetration for our first responders as they enter inner structures the other thing is we have a couple more Award winners there's a rodeo and down in st. Pete PS ta headquarters and we had a couple employees win as part of the rodeo for a fixed route we had Nicole Ricker's make sure our announcement right and then for paratransit Lisa Richter's and so they will both be going up to Tallahassee Jacksonville sorry next month to compete in the statewide competition for bus rodeo everybody buses on a closed course you have to do obstacle courses and things of that sort so yeah and they are a mother and daughter team by the way so we do have some outstanding employees as I like to let y'all know when they win stuff and

do some good things so that's all I had sir okay I sent you all an email yesterday afternoon we were before Judge Grover the four bond issues were validated we got filing judgments on the four issues no one appeared in opposition when the state attorney was a period by phone as their statutory duty so now we have a 30-day appeal period but really since no one showed up the only one who can appeal would be the state state attorney's office which I don't envision and so then we can we can go forward and have the team is working on issuing those bonds to pay for the various things that the board desired to have built so I figured I would bring that to your attention thank you very much thank you I only thought of two more things what I can't attend the TMA meeting on the next Friday I was hoping someone else could fill in for me I'm going to be in a class with IFAs in Dade City all day I did check it's not a real and there's not a lot happening on the agenda but Jack so Jack I you may be on your own and I don't remember who our third person is at the TMA right now and I would go but I've got canvas so I don't it's not the day that I think we're voting on how we're gonna vote but I just was hoping someone else could go and then the second thing is we had a lot of people had asked me and commercial walls this is in your district about providing some kind of safety net for people who are crossing Starkey Boulevard at Marcia Drive to get to our market and I am there and I am watching the kids running running back and forth across the street the challenge at that intersection it's not you know it's a intersection is that it's right where the merge is when you're going north so cars are speeding up at an intersection to get around a slower car and there was an accident there this week thank goodness it didn't involve any pedestrians I don't know how hurt anybody was but I think we need to i know traffic ops went out there and we were a few people you know few numbers short of the amount of people crossing that lets you put I'm talking about painting crosswalks which allows some security for a pedestrian in Florida but I believe we need to do something at that intersection because we have made we have we have an accelerant pretty much an acceleration lane at a t-intersection and I don't think that's a good idea okay madam clerk yes just real quick we had a community event where we had passport day on Saturday March 16th it was very successful I wanted to thank the county for helping us to arrange to open up our doors and also thanking Debbie gay it was our director of Records and her team within four hours they processed over a hundred and sixty passport applications and we did it the Saturday before spring break because usually Spring Break is a time where parents take off of work they bring their kids in and we process more than half within that first then within that four hours then what we do for that
