putting up dates I thought that when we had nine residents on a road that we had legal access to the whole road whether he owns it or not and every time that we walk outside if he's outside he chunks my husband and I the last thing he was thanks to you folks but my backhoe and my school bus is immune whatever that means I know code enforcement told us five months ago that bus has to go but it's still there that's not what concerns me it's just the way that he treats the neighborhood and there's nothing anybody can do about it code enforcement says our hands are tied police come out their hands are tied mr. Mariano spin out there since we've lived there and I understand the farmer owners and she's very adamant that he killed her husband because after he had dementia this guy just taunted him constantly and everybody I asked I can't give you legal advice so I don't know who else to turn to from now on but three neighbors have moved out once in the process of moving because of this one individual what does it take to have them Baker acted cos he's definitely nuts I'm scared to death mr. chairman before she goes like is there this is like a private road that this guy does terrorize the neighbors pretty much from everything we've heard over and over somehow he got this road on a private tax deed sale is there any way we can go back and get that road back and put it under County property mr. County Attorney even if he was if it was a public road if they if it was not accessed by easement for these residents if it was public road whether or not he bought the underlying fee at a tax deed sale would not convert the road to a private road he would own the underlying fee just like in a dedication you would own to the center of to the center of the road there is a there's underlying ownership but if it's you know I'd have to look at the easements that were granted if it was if it was at one point a public road it still is a public road whether or not he owns a tax deed underlying do you know if it was a private road before I was a public road before I understand it was up for Texas maybe 15 years ago when the former owner first moved in because they said they could have taken taken it over but then he started back then he said if you take it over and anybody gets hurt on here he said you're responsible they could sue you for everything you own which could we get mica to get with her and also get the sheriff's office involved in this and let them both go out there because sometimes the sheriff's office working alongside Ike has been involved with it for the last five months he's talked to me after every meeting and they've been so I've done this over in East Pasco area and it's working there one more time safe works mr. Lee thank you and I think maybe if we get a County Attorney's Office with it as well let's put our heads together and find a final solution that they shouldn't have to we need they don't need to be taunted by another neighbor that they're here to

live a peaceful life here in Pasco County and we need to make sure they do have that so mr. Rosenthal will talk with you all right thank you thank you good morning good morning my name is Angelica Perkis I live at 9:41 0 Adler Street in New Port Richey three four six five four I made some copies of what I'm going to speak on here for each of the commissioners Oh may I give them to this afternoon there will be a lot of taxpayer money giving to an organization that I have some real concerns about millions of dollars over the next few years I was just as history doing a survey of my neighborhood I saw this I saw this economic development plan that the county put out and I said to myself well I need to also let mr. Cronin who is in charge of economic development know about what is going on and what we would like to do because they do the plans so I did and I maybe was a little bit snarky because I was having a hard time communicating with the county so I got a letter back and it said no I'm very confused that he's a 501 C 3 and their organization helps create jobs start businesses and loan money they are not involved in anything to do with redevelopment with homelessness poverty or other things that I mentioned was a little more confused so I looked into it and their mission statement on guidestar.org talks about relieving poverty reducing need for public assistance compat embattled deterioration of communities in the county which to me seemed like hmm maybe it does do what I was asking for he said not so I looked on the county website and you'll see the copy of that there too and it says a whole different mission statement says to stimulate balanced and diverse fight growth within Pasco counter for Pasco County on their website there's another definition but as you go through I started looking up different metropolitan areas in Florida and they're all 501 C 6 is not 501 C 3s the difference is that donations for C sixes cannot be written off they need taxes paid on them so I don't know I'm not an attorney I just have a lot of concerns with these millions of dollars you're getting ready to give to this entity and I want you to know I also send it to the IRS because they know they wrote the rules thank you very much rainbow lane over in Port Richey I've been here before to ask for your help in solving community problems I get no help I bet so police help I was told you have no say-so so I get frustrated and get less accomplished thanks to mr. Mariano to take my info and not calling me for three months I got frustrated but not angry this time I have a house on a block that has a lot of there is a house on my block that has a lot of in and out traffic all day and night the sheriff does nothing about it I call no one shows up they threatened to arrest me for wasting their time there are constantly blocking the sidewalk and we have disabled people with electric wheelchairs that have to ride against traffic on San Miguel

because they cannot get back on the sidewalk where these people block their sidewalk since Pasco County will do nothing to help because I live in a throwaway neighborhood not a gated one where police go around and ticket cause parked on the street I looked up the American with Disabilities Act because I am one we are entitled to safe transportation so I rode up and down San Miguel in my truck not one wheelchair ramp on any corner so I went down embassy Fox Hollow and etc not one ramp since the people inside the box won't help us I decided to go outside the box so now I am going to contact the federal government of course the state does nothing and you all do nothing so I'm not gonna get mad I'm not gonna get angry I'm gonna get something done without your help because you took with all my information and did nothing for me didn't even call me back I called three days later and a lady from your office answered very nice lady did not hang up on me when I got frustrated I heeded her words that's why I wrote this and that's why I'm leaving now thank you sir so next we have Ellen rose and then Kathy Strickland and Kelly Smith and then cherry Clem thank you this is a follow up once again but this is good all right the parks department I have scheduled meeting this Thursday to go over the coastal barrier resource act the reference today was FEMA because this coastal barrier resource act it covers a whole large area and there are many different entities involved in it and many different strands for funding the fort not when I meet with them on Thursday I will go over these options for them so they can understand better understand how we can get something done from Pasco County and on the agenda is we're going to use the John Chafee coastal barrier resource system to protect Pasco County coastal residences the Harvard's West Market redevelopment in progress and protecting our coastal natural habitat sea grasses fish wildlife and other natural resources so prominent along our coastline the basic gains will be three thousand acres of protected seagrass beds revitalization of our coastal estuaries reenergize in our five coastal economic engines in place developing over one hundred acres of new beaches preserving our coastal mangroves and developing an additional 100 acres of mangroves our marine habitats and coastal edge estuaries will be enhanced to fully develop our scallops ecosystem and maritime maritime Conservancy ensuring safe passage for all our transient manatee population the nesting areas for our sea turtles and providing the resting area for migratory seabirds these projects will provide protection for our coasts alleviate coastal flooding and give our residents many more locations to enjoy our natural settings and a discussion will go as follows are we part of the CBR a the answer is yes we're part of the coastal barrier resource act how are we qualified we are designated as a no PA otherwise protected area what zone are we we are zoned for and there's other

approve this item thank you looks like we have one more person signed up Cheri could anybody else like to speak under public comment okay seeing no one that will close public comment the next order of business has a consent agenda I do have a pull sheet with the following items listed c-45 partl I think she wants to wait on that Dan doesn't she she would like to know so when she gets back discussed that later so we need there okay and c9 poner of eyes C 12 just for discussion commissioner yeah c12 c-13 and c14 pull up for discussion mr. mr. Mariana well what 12 C 12 13 and C 48 mr. chairman just for just for clarification before you take a motion on the consent agenda C 6 the Clean agreement which was provided to you is the correct version that the county wishes the chair to be act for the red line has some some issues it doesn't exactly match the the clean version but the clean version is the is the the version that the that is proposed for the board to be adopted to be pulled C 65 is here and there's it's a contract it's a change order but it doesn't have witness a test for the contractors signature so if we maybe if you could approve it based on that witness signature we like everything done properly what is it C it's C 65 good morning board andrew baxter facilities management director c 9 we're pulling in a revising the we've updated the agenda item to ensure that the distribution section is correct we've also distributed attachments for attachments three and nineteen which during the sire process ended up as blank pages in your distribution that was published those are the bid tab alternates and download history those have been distributed the team recommends approval with those Corrections any questions yeah I'm stay here see twelve and thirteen the only thing that concerned me was it's an air-conditioning contract both twelve and thirteen we only had one bidder I've heard other things sometimes about our air-conditioning bids where were maybe having some level of contract actually super high and you can't seem to get it but even still with only one sold bitter I know it awful I don't think there's an issue there I'd like you guys to take a look at it bring it back to us did we do it right reach out to some of our local air conditioning people why they didn't want to bid on it just kind of like you know find out why there's only one bidder on this thing yeah no problem we had eight vendors who searched for the solicitation one of which was from Pasco County the specs that we make for air conditioning contracts are very standardized nowadays so the reasoning behind why the market didn't choose to participate in this one I can't attribute to anything that we've done differently it's a very similar spec we just pretty much change out the size of the unit and the location that we're gonna be placing that unit but I've also sometimes licensing keeps some of them looking a couple of smaller

contracts did look at it one looked at it downloaded the other one didn't download it all the way so I'd like you to reach out to about locals to find out why they didn't bid on it and then let's put it back over we can absolutely do that okay I do wish sir thank you put it back out for bid well let's get an explanation back maybe next meeting to find out what happened and then you kind of take the employment and I don't think agree you know Eric and I have spoken this several times we've got to do a better job of educating our local folks because I know that there's local companies that are large enough and the only reason I know and I may not know them specifically but I see them posting pictures of them having cranes putting it on the roof of building so I know that there's local companies I could do it again if they're not the lowest bidder they're not within the 10% will you understand that but well there's only one bidder I agree with Commissioner Murray on on this one okay that's the wish of the board we can do that good morning Stacy Ziegler purchasing director just one let you know that we do have a vendor Day coming up October 10th where we are going to have all the vendors come in and try to educate them understand exactly this and you know folks that aren't vendors you know that aren't on the list that's my thing you know so you talk about folks that aren't on the list educating them on how to get on the vendor less capacity right we're gonna have a vendor day we're gonna talk about the local preference what it means how to become a local vendor etc okay just let me know I know we've discussed it but if I can help with you know the Chamber's Rotary clubs EDC that way we can I mean the turnouts been good for them but I would love to be great especially now with the local preference you know it's true Thank You Commissioner Moore how many grants to so I don't know if you have already but if you get with a Pio and get something out through the Pio we are okay op-ed already and we have something going out for it yeah like chairman well stated we can get it out or you can or the PI can get out to the chambers and the rotaries that'd be a big help too okay thank you thanks thank you thank you for that okay so that's c-13 in our C 12 and C 13 I think you see 48th Commissioner to be the motion to continue that um moved to continue 12 MC 12 and C 13 second Oh a favor the only problem I had with this obviously we want to see this thing get done approve whatever but I did I didn't like the long time frame for them to actually do the work I'm trying to pull the item up right now so is there a way to shorten up the time frame we we've worked to parallel track some of these items but but we wanted to add you know make sure the contract extensions long enough so that we're not continually modifying the contract time extension so I think it's 18 months in this agreement we expect to have a decision from the core or less than a

year from now so I mean that's that's the plan right now and once we have the you know the decision from the core if it's a positive decision we plan on getting the construction bids out for construction as soon as we can after that so 12 months to decision finish the plans get them on the street now you're at 18 months so I mean award and all that stuff so I mean 18 month sounds about right if we needed to push it does this item the way we've got instructure to slow us down from pushing they get it done sooner or later no sir in fact we've set this up to work several these tasks in parallel so that if we so if we get to the roof quicker we can move quicker so and in commissioner Starkey when it discussed 45 when she gets back okay she's a Tampa Bay water conference call now we'll move to 60 Oh see 65 yes ma'am I apologize about that okay I apologize I didn't see it before but going through these this paperwork there's no signature for a witness of the contractor's signature for change order number one which is on timber Oaks Golf Course and we prefer well we have to have a signature a witness of the contractor's signature so I would ask that go ahead well unless the clerk has a concern with the form of the change water I would ask the board authorized that authorize the change order and have the contractor re-execute it so that we don't lose the two weeks to the next board meeting we're in agreement with that Oh in favor aye for those motion carries now we'll move to the regular agenda item okay we'll start with item r1 morning mr. chair members Ralph lair open our fares officer for pesco today I'm bringing before you the Senate state legislative agenda for 2019 I send that to you all for approval give you a chance sitting out last week give you a chance to look over it if you wanted to make any changes if not then maybe we could set the priorities today and move forward so take any concerns my assumption is you probably met with all the commissioners and no wait and then we met with me I guess we've met or before yes I mean yeah so we spoke about the priorities I felt we had in our district and and some others were holdover so thank you for all your efforts and I think we still have a strong delegation up there we will continue to have a strong delegation over the next few years which can help with these so they're in there in the right place right now so we're all looking forward to the getting these done over the next few years it was quite an extensive list I don't know how much they're gonna read and if we're being most effective with it so I think we do need those top bullet points to be kind of handing out rather than this whole thing I will tell you there's two items I don't see on you that they're going through the Swift mud process and matter of fact one of them has actually just been approved today to kind of have one of the projects done but up at Holiday Hills

I mean holiday hills across Adelphia mall we've got that project we're going to put that pipe in looking it through when they did the presentation to us they said they were going to try to incorporate salt springs with it just in case we get a bump back from Swift mud I think we should add salt springs on as far as a request so that if we do get bumped back we can say look we'll go to legislate and try to get the money that way to those who took beef just so everyone familiar many years ago they put the Gaines world pump in the residents did the county's been maintaining it and runs it like this it's a 7.5 horsepower pump that they found actually does nothing to actually help it it kind of takes the water up the hill and comes right back down the hill we put a pipe in place that runs all the way to the north at the Embassy Canal which runs all the way down and they have only flooded once in the past three years now since we put it in and that was just because we have to pump a little bit below but it drained out real quickly so it's working the drainage pump they're going to put in it's going to have the new drainage pipe they're going to put in is going to have a backflow converter so if it gravity feeds down the waters releasing at low tide it doesn't flow back in which is a great plan but when it gets around the Gulf you multi that big concrete canal it goes down to a 15 inch pipe it's the key piece to get all that water it goes out and that whole canal of am I just put salt spring so I think we need to add that on the list the other thing that we should add on we're working currently with Sea Pines with a major redevelopment up there there are some things we're working right now what's with Swift land to get them approve some extra parts of the project which they didn't want to do which may get done but again if it's on the list that's right the senator Simpsons district as well and I'm sure he can actually you know with this strong position up there can make sure that does happen and if it's on our list it can show that strength to get them both approved so we add those things in there up might be comfortable moving forward with it but those are key additions to come up so that so add those into the the regular legislative agenda not necessarily as a priority item because we have the ten water projects that we're on there but and again I'll get with some order and add those two in it's it's really a small amount of money okay but it's very significant in the effect and because we've already worked down the line with Swift mud it may just give us the impetus to have let's say you know what we're just going to incorporate him anyway and the designer I think is going to design in the salt springs project anyway I just want to put all the leverage we can to make sure we get it funded without having to face a lot of battle we're still waiting on Swift might approve yes it's all going through the process we've had discussions on both of them and like I said the engineer when he

designs Holliday Hills he's gonna put that in there anyway when he presented to us but I just don't want to leave it to say it wasn't a priority of ours okay I'll get Joe Brown easier from Swope might as well when is the what do you get put in the palm card out or press Q the popcorn are you gonna do it before because we're going up in one March March yeah so we've got plenty of time to to get that back ain't not really a palm card we're gonna do that like we did the trifle last year yeah yeah so I was thinking like trying to get that ready by you know January so by then I could you know clean up this list that we haven't had in those two into the big project list but again we can do before him because I know I have some meetings coming up with some of our legislators sure I'm bringing your future and would you like it in October have these conversations now you want in October I say if you think you can sit I mean if the board approves us today we'll go back and start working on it and start working on I get that to you when we were when we're done with it yeah be great I just got to figure out you know I've I've made some suggestions on possible priorities and the email if those were the ones you want on that rifle we can do that if you want other items on that triumph old we'll do that but it's all everybody on the board for final or whatever okay so we have those meetings okay so let's see if we can try to flush out the the priority that I gave some recommendations if you don't want those we I can put different projects on there yeah the projects I suggested were State Road 50 two segments as a possibility gateway beautification plan Miller's Bayou working water for an enhancement the lane Lakes redevelopment plan of the homeless service center temporary family housing Hidden Lake Zephyr Creek unit three and four THC berm boggy creek Buckley Deer what we won it was on the way yes sir hey that's on there on that be man and the one that everybody really went on their water project was multiple commissioners Hidden Lake is on there and that is this with mud funded project for the 2019 2020 again do you want any others or anything removed and put anything else as priority okay he says we came too many on there that's priority so I can take some off and then we could put those unless a take off oh it really add yeah and the key is I think getting it done early I'm sure I think you're right on the money we need to get this now because when they have start having their meetings that's when these things are put in right waking up in their March esra in or they're not yeah at the last MPO meeting we had we took the us 19 underpass made it a top priority I think that should be on the list as well Marine Parkway is that part of it as well coming up no sir that is not because this was done before that MPO meeting on thursday so if you want to add the marine park the pedestrian overpass at

us 19 and Marine marine that then we could add that but this was this was completed before that NPO meeting we have we haven't add that in there yet so that's kind of it the board wants us to add it we can add that I think we should add that and I think we should also add in the the starka gap as well and let's at least get him on the list so that we can have attention to it that would be the trail overpass at 54 and Starkie Bulworth okay like in that was that those moved up in the MPO as well so I think just having those things on the list they can talk about it and then someone could pull it and go and Ralph we don't necessarily have the water projects in any one order because I know if we did we should base them off of you know amount of houses that are gonna trick ya know we don't have them in any particular order put the ones we didn't get which I think we did that he gonna be hidden lake would probably be the number one recall I don't disagree okay any other questions for Ralph so I've got two projects add on to the priority I'll send that back out before I go to friend so I'll add those two water projects into the big list and marine yeah that was the MPO Marine Park and Sturkey gap - dad - the priority line did you want to walk through the calendar and apron he'll okay with the calendar Rob Rob one more thing just before we go I know we've already the county did a great job getting in the state revolving fund request for the FG way planten Ranch Road that has been in represented Maruyama made the call hers assistance gonna follow up on it today so what's going through the process do you think we need to add that or we find just the way that's going right now yeah I'm already said resolving fine that's not necessarily legislative an escape right that's crowd we can write you okay right right so as you saw on the legislative planning calendar that Fidel shooting for March and actually picked a hotel and secured some room so we've gotten that with your staff if you're okay with that it's before the spring break so we're looking at March 13th as being our Pasco legislative day travel up today before the 13th on the 12th after the BCC meeting which will be in Dade City return back on Thursday the 14th would be the plan prior to that I've included all the FC FAC and Mako meetings on here I know that you and Commissioner Starkey both served on committees the thought process was not to overlap and do meetings up in either Washington or Tallahassee on those same dates so we can attend and actually partake in the conference's I didn't know if there was anything specific you all wanted to see but again I've laid out the whole calendar going all the way up to 2020 with the FAC and the nako conferences on there the other thought process are the that we talked about was Washington normally in the past we've done a piggyback on the nako again not to do that

revenues and so we took those revenues and those capital projects out of the budget and what we would plan on doing then would be come back to the board once we receive those revenues and bring an amendment to the board at that time with those revenues and then outlining the projects that those that revenue bond would fund you can see when we took those that revenue and those projects out of the budget that did reduce as you can see the bottom line to reduce the overall budget by 25 million dollars and as you can see here the if we look at the comparison of the fiscal year 18 budget with the fiscal year 19 budget you'll notice that we this fiscal year 19 budget is four percent less than the fiscal year 2018 budget we did manage to balance the budgets with no increases in property tax revenues you'll notice the operating budgets have increased by about fifteen percent the reason for that was because of the increase in retirement employee retirement health care and number of business plans business plan initiatives and so on the capital decreased slightly because we had several large capital projects in fiscal year 18 and then debt service you'll notice that increased by about seven and a half percent the biggest driver for that was the Wiregrass Sports Complex debt service in fiscal year 18 that debt service was interest only and in fiscal year 19 that increased interest and principal and then the reserves you'll notice increased by almost 20 degrees by almost 20 percent because in the storm water and transportation funds we have been a emulating reserves so that we can now in fiscal year nineteen fund a lot of capital projects and those two funds with that mr. chair that's all I had would be happy to answer any questions you might have any questions for Bob thank you thank you need to prove approval this would be approval of this is what they're gonna bring back to you at public hearing tonight good morning Margaret Smith County engineer's talk about our three which is the a route study for the extension of the old Pasco Road to the north to hace Murphy Road to the east under i-75 so we looked at two different alternatives here one east and one west we looked at these for a safety cost environmental impacts and also how it fits into our planning program in this case alternative our eastern alternative came out far ahead and all in cost and minimized impact and so for that reason and I have a bunch of slides here that you can go through at your leisure but we've talked to each of you for that reason we have selected and the eastern alignment because it is shorter and it is a little bit less costly and it has minimizes impacts to the environment and also in that study with the same elements a same criteria discussed we selected ponds 8:23 and BC 22 as the ponds for this project we also had a public involvement stage here which was on July 11th in San Antonio so with that our recommendation is the eastern are there any questions mr.

Morelle Thank You mr. chairman had a real good meeting the other night with the citizens of Gulf Highlands they have very very appreciative all the great flood work we did out there to kind of keep them flooding out in the one concern is that where the fqa plant is on a Ranch Road that we do take that over they were thrilled that we put the application in with the state revolving fund really anxious to see that that happened I had great talk about you know converting those ponds that are just kind of flooding over the sewage water

gets into the streets etc they can't wait to see even a parking one there that's kind of like soften up a bit cuz some of the people were a little concerned about it and then I one of the things that came up again as we heard from the other day was a Johnson Road so I you know drove down that does connect and is very important for staff to pay attention to that road connects from us 19 all the way to Zimmerman it may be what they call collector status that we can actually give them a break on the pricing of it so I would like to see that thing come as quick as it can and there's another road beside this called a rampart that didn't get included years ago on a another paving assessment so have them like study that issue as well that's all I have thank you damn yes sir I just have a couple things one I think they're wrapping up the phone call right now she should be back in here about 5-10 minutes all right I don't have the full details yet but I'd like the board to as you know the the red tide hadn't reach us yet but it's just south of us we we have been included just just got it we have though been included in the state red tide DEP grant application that they lumped us all in and so we got that this morning if if I could so ask if the board would allow me to execute that upon review and I need to review it my staff need to review it kind of tourneys review and Clark needs to read a bit you could authorize that that way we don't have to wait until the meeting on the in October to get you to approve that so did everybody hear that a second thanks man thank you do you have that just as a reminder next week is a workshop where we'll be going over the mobility fees as part of the task force that y'all put together and they will be bringing their report to you on where that is - as we lead into the the update to that so that's that's the final thing I think I took long enough and that's I think that's all I have today mr. chairman members the board I have a walk-on so if you could move the emergency emergency emergency okay on paper hi Marshall curious apologize for bringing this on at the last minute but this is a settlement agreement between plantation palms homeowners association and Pasco County in in 2017 the HOA filed suit against the county seeking an injunction to compel the county to maintain the ditch that runs through that project County's position was that the individual home builders were responsible for stabilizing each lot before they built along the ditch and to the extent that anyone other than the home-built builders the homeowners association would be responsible after mediating the the the issue it became apparent that the homeowners association there are homes which are are very close to the edge of this this is a this is a large conveyance ditch and it is in the process it needs to be stabilized the homeowners association is probably not capable of doing this

themselves in we have proposed an engineering solution which the homeowners association supports they also support the creation of an MS bu for the purpose of paying for the ditch stabilization and so we bring forward this settlement agreement where we would do the work upfront the costs but then bill the residents for the costs of stabilizing the the drainage canal that runs through the project I would ask you to approve the proposed settlement agreement and authorize the Chairman to execute settlement agreement as is outlined in the recommended board action and before taking that motion ask if there is any public comment on the settlement agreement I've just I just want to put a surety to it I looked at the numbers and maybe the numbers are good maybe they're not I mean on two different sides they come out to where they think the numbers are close together but I do won't just want to make sure we do advertise this bid to a lot of our folks out there to make sure that if we have anyone who can bid on it that may put a lower price and what they got on there to save the residents money I think it'd be worthwhile to do so well this this would have to go out for public procurement to do that to do the project right I just want to make sure people that we would normally not do this type of project with this big wall that's gonna be built so I want to make sure that the people may not be on the bid net system that they hear about it that it doesn't all day to get it done right no thanks listen the county worked very closely and we have great they have great folks at the HOA at plantation palm so it's a no brainer we actually have a situation where they have some fees they're already paying they're gonna shift those over to cover the MSP you so they're gonna lower their HOA fees that they already have for maintenance so it's a wash for the residence pretty much I think right around there so it's but they've been the HOA has been excellent and yeah if you've been out there many many times and unfortunately you this ditches worse where it's receding it's it's it's right on the edge of some of these homes so it's it's I'm happy we're out there remember we're taking care of it and and again this is a total agreement with the HOA and the residents that live in the room hang on we don't yeah this is but anybody from the public like to speak on this item whether you do see you now when it's back to the board second all in favor okay okay that's it that's it thank you I just want to say that today is a 230 first anniversary of the signing of the Constitution happy Constitution Day everyone and I do have to walk on resolutions you want me to say them now ordering myself okay I do have to emergency walk on so I'm sorry mercy second favor thank you one is resolution number 18 to 82 by title only a resolution by the Board of County Commissioners of Pasco County Florida expressing appreciation to Lenore F Korb deputy clerk for the

West Market area and this is a general location on the subject site outlined in red which is just west of us 19 and Hudson Avenue Hudson Avenue is a Pasco County maintained collector Road this is the subject site with regard to the surrounding zoning districts so to the north is our 1mh as well as to the west and to the south are various c1 and c2 zoning districts also to the east of the subject site is additional c2 zoning this this image is going to show you the surrounding land use within the area as was noted earlier the subject site is within the RoR future land use designation just to the west and north is a res 6 future land use designation and then this is a conceptual site plan of the proposed development which is 96 units in four buildings across the site this comes to you with approval of the proposed conditional use request with some conditions associated and that completes this presentation applicants presentation first Commissioner okay African here just speak at this time Thank You Shelly Johnson I'm the applicants attorney 72 for one little road and I have been sworn I'll be happy to answer any questions that y'all have we did go to Planning Commission and get a unanimous approval from them or a recommendation of approval they're looking to do a 96 unit multifamily housing project we actually had at the Planning Commission I don't know if y'all still have it but some of the other projects that they've done some other multi-family projects that they've actually done in Florida so but I'll be happy to answer any questions any questions that's one question I actually was up with the one of the people don't property abutting it and we did they were a little concerned about fencing with the school that's there yeah was talked about they they wanted to see a wall or something along that sort of you if you thought about what you're gonna do with walls or got a Planning Commission and we would have to do a wall as part of our landscape buffer so they did look at that I think it's a I forget what it's on that one side but whatever it is it ends up be and we're gonna need to put a wall in that the codes gonna require it so that's one of your conditions yeah it will be yeah when we get to site plan development yeah the technical requirements the code will kick in and we'll have to do landscape up again okay any other questions anyone else it looks like Holly Fabio is signed up to speak on this issue anyone else that wants to address the this issue go ahead and come to the podium state your name and address for the record Polly - Fabio one four three one zero guava Street and one for 306 squab Street and were you born yes I was sick thank you I appreciate some of you coming to visit the property I am just to the west side of the border there and to the northwest the wooded area is where we have some natural springs back in that area and we want to make sure that those are preserved as well as my border being my backyard and my neighbor's backyard this property has

not been maintained in the 14 years that they have owned it so with that wall that we are none of us are happy about this but it's inevitable that it's going to happen so we are requesting a wall I heard her mention just one side we are definitely requesting the west side and the north west the north side because that would protect those springs in our backyard our concerns are traffic there's already school right there next door traffic is crazy in the afternoons there's flooding on Hudson Avenue just with a heavy rain I did bring some pictures to show you that as well as long as you as well as the overgrowth from that property into my property that's been a battle for the ten years that I've owned it there's kudzu vines I don't know if any of you are familiar with that but it's an invasive vine from Japan and it's nearly impossible to get rid of so if they are going to be putting a wall up I want to be ensured that those vines will not be able to encroach over into our property again and then of course to protect the springs we would like that wall there because kids do like to hang out back there go and we're trying to it's a new owner on that property he's trying to clean it up and of course that would create dangerous for children young children in the apartments coming in and there's four natural springs on that one property so also to the west side to the west side across from my property is my mother who's been that we've owned that house for 60 years and the way this is laid out with their parking lot she would have headlights shining directly into her front window so I've provided a picture from her front window view across and that would be basically between the two houses that you can see clearly in the middle there so with parking being pointing to the outer edges we're asking that we have that privacy from headlights as well so we hope that that wall can definitely be placed on the west and the north side and in case you're not aware there's the Eagles Nest tower right at Hudson Avenue in that bottom left corner and of course we're concerned about the Eagles that have been nesting there for 12 years and we would like to see that construction doesn't interrupt their lifestyle can I leave these with you Commissioner Mariano was have you looked at that property forests and walls that she's talking about I did I'm not sure what the code requires for a while but it was time with the visual there I think it's good to put a solid wall going around I mean they asked for a concrete wall I don't know if we can actually make that request what if Shelli wants to address it or is that part of the conditions have that where I know you talked about one wall but it is not part of the conditions that they're part of you're part of your package it may be required based on code but mr. Peters would have to have to answer that question screaming neighboring properties can be accomplished through landscape buffering and those measures I'm not sure that it's necessarily required to build a

solid wall across both the Western property lines in the northern poverty line however a good solid screening of vegetation can accomplish the same task of keeping people home crossing property lines but also keeping the headlight glare out of rear windows over in Rio yards okay and that can be handled through the site plan review during the time of the landscape plan review okay mr. chairman if I could yes in that's a conditional use do we have the power to actually request this and make it part of the condition yes okay I'm gonna request them that we do that so maybe if we get agreement with the applicant what's the request now so they make sure we request that a solid wall be on the west side in the north west side north and west side okay just for the record we have no problem okay questions anyone else to speak public hearing move approval with a noted condition y'all second the conditions and a motion and a second all those in favor say aye aye Pass mr. chairman we do have proof of publication for p13 Tampa Bay Times August 3rd 2018 and August 22nd 2018 good afternoon married to long-range planning division this is a p13 Gulf Breeze manner which is a large-scale comprehensive plan amendment the large-scale comprehensive plan amendment is proposed to amend the future land use designation of res 12 res 9 which is residential 920 at Spago Saker and ror retail office residential to pd planned development with sub area policies letters have were sent to property owners within 500 feet and a neighborhood meeting was held on August 8 2008 teen with a problem approximately 50 participants this was a staff initiated confidence' plan a minute the proposed plan development would include commercial office employment center high density residential retail restaurants bars administrative offices ecotourism uses recreational and resort uses and facilities the maximum development potential proposed is 250,000 square feet of commercial retail and the other uses I just mentioned and 60 dwelling units the proposed plan develop that future land use classification does not increase the intensity or the density already allowed within the current as 12 res 9 and are our future land-use classifications for example if all the parcels were developed as res 12 up to 380 712 Dwain units would be possible the proposed PD only allows 60 dwelling units if the current vacant land was developed up to 99 dwelling units would be possible the amendment is it is initiated by the Planning and Development Department to support the harbours redevelopment infill plan the amendment is located within the Hudson district of the harbours West Market area and the amendment will assist in the redevelopment of blighted and vacant lands they can't parcel including the leisure lane parcel which is the old bowling alley that has been vacant for many years the amendment will also help

facilitate the redevelopment of three parcels and two flues that both have to two different future land-use classifications on each parcel and will increase opportunities for redevelopment new development within this Gulf Breeze Manor area I can find the map the amendment area is located south of Beach Boulevard west of us 19 north of bear creek canal and east of first Isle Street there are 15 parcels involved with this under the ownership of 14 property owners the site is approximately thirty two point two two acres with about eight point two three vacant acres the proposed plan development it would include commercial office employment center high density residential retail restaurants bars administrative offices ecotourism uses recreation resort uses and facilities and the proposed few blue is planned development this chart depicts the zoning districts future land use designations and existing uses to the north south and west of the site which I will go over in more detail to the north there's high density residential to commercial services and Beach Boulevard to the south there's commercial and services open lands and the Bear Creek canal to the east is us 19 arterial commercial and services and to the west is first Isle Street and high density residential so this map depicts the existing future land use of res 12 res 9 and ror the res 9 is a very narrow strip of about point 0.1 acres that's right along first Isle it's hard to see on this map the a review of consistency with the comprehensive plan has been conducted [Music] this project mimosa's a planned development the intend of planned development is to provide for a variety of uses and intensities within a development site to preserve conservation areas above and beyond what the land development code requires reduce public investment provision services encourage flexible and creative site design and provide sites for schools recreation other public facilities that have an area wide benefit the general range of uses allowed within the PD flow is listed there does not want to go I think the battery's dying on this this map depicts the proposed flu of PD there are proposed sub area policies along with this map amendment to PD this is sub area policy flu seven point one point four five that is detailed in Exhibit C of the proposed ordinance in your packet it includes the 250 the maximum development potential would be 250 thousand square feet of commercial retail office employment center ecotourism recreational resort uses and facilities and the sixty dwelling units the sub area policy also further defines the types of uses allowed including permitted uses and excluded uses preliminary feasibility analysis was conducted a transportation needs assessment was not warranted there's adequate wastewater treatment services for this development there's sufficient

capacity for poor potable water service for these parcels there were no concerns expressed from police fire or schools assessment and there are no significant environmental concerns identified by Natural Resources findings of fact the proposed comprehensive plan amendments CP al is consistent with a comp plan there are no further amendments required in conjunction with a proposed amendment it's set for at the local planning agency we did add in parcel ID oh four to five 1600 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 2 0 0 1 - this was at the request of the property owner and approved by the local planning agency at their meeting on August 23rd 2018 the other findings of fact are that impact fees will be collected and utilized by the county for any increased capital costs or services through this project the recommendation is for the Board of County Commissioners to authorize transmittal of the proposed large-scale comp plan amendment cpa l 1805 gulf breeze manner to the department of economic opportunities and other reviewing agencies there any questions I'd be more than happy to answer answer mr. chairman you Mary Helen you've referred to this as the project several times but earlier in your presentation you said there were 15 14 15 odd part property owners that make up this it's the amendment area is how it should be referred to okay and are all the property owners within within this amendment area on board yes they are to the best of our knowledge we did conduct a neighborhood meeting where one property owner said he wanted in and another property owner said that they wanted out so we we've accommodated those property owners okay mr. chairman I'm delighted that you've taken this step as we I think we talked a long time ago I mean we've had issues up in this property I don't guys familiar with it being across from beacon woods there was a homeless camp that was there a couple years ago they cleared it out they went across the parcel to the south which might we want to take a look at that one there I know the one land oh there's trying to look at doing something there there's an Church that actually feeds people there were these homeless people continually on because drives stay out there I think they dramatically hurt the business talking on the people that ran the IHOP restaurant across the street so it is a problem area I'm glad to see something coming together with this however it may be we had talked initially I think part of our conversation started with this parcel there was a person want to run a retail facility to do boats and RVs etc I don't they're still in the mix now but this obviously would help them if they wanted to come forward at this point correct there what there is a rezoning application in progress for factory direct and Marine RV sales okay for the old leisure lane parcel [Music] which that please repeat that property hasn't it's called leisure beach fully knowing okay I'm sorry [Laughter] and the the parcel is lied vacant the

old bowling alley has been vacant for six or seven years I believe and we are viewing this as a major opportunity to redevelop that site in order for them to redevelop the site the way they wanted to there there were some concessions that needed to be made and so those have been identified through the sub area policies with regards to buffer requirements and permitted uses well I want to give a tremendous amount of credit for actually taking the initiative getting 15 people together at a 14 people coming together on the 15 process to actually make something potentially good happen so you lay some great fun time work yeah the hope is that this within this amendment area at least on this one parcel that there might there's potential for 60 plus jobs to be created great work okay this is a public hearing I do not have anyone signed up for this item if you'd like to speak on this item please come forward okay seeing no one it's back to the board move approval okay all in favor aye remembers the commission my name is Enzo D and I'm with long-range planning and the comprehensive plan text amendment that's before you is to remove the reference of the development review committee and substitute the planning commission throughout the Comprehensive Plan where it's applicable this is a county initiated comprehensive plan amendment it's pursuant to the 2008 urban land institute recommendation to this board to redefine the role in the scope of the development review committee and if you recall July 10th of this year this board did vote to eliminate the development review committee from the land development code and this is to conform the that recommendation with the Comprehensive Plan in a while a reference to the development review committee will be or is proposed to be eliminated the duties and the scope are excuse me why Jimi Hendrix and cousin yeah the duties in the scope will be invested in the Planning Commission now there are five items that are affected by this as you can see policy flew to point one point seven the development review committee there is being eliminated or is being extracted skewing because the Planning Commission is already involved to point to point three the development mercury development review committee is also being removed and the Planning Commission is already included in that in 7.1.1 three the Planning Commission is being substituted for the development review committee in this case four point three point two the development review committee is being eliminated persecuting being extracted because the Planning Commission is already involved and in the last whoops I promise I am more dexterous in this typically and in the policy I had one point to point to the Planning Commission is being asserted or the development review committee the recommendation for y'all is to approve the transmittal of this d EO for their

help pay for this project and ease the burden on the people that live there thank you very much thank you sir excuse me my name is Richard Emmons I live at 2809 bramble rich court holiday Florida three four six nine one I'm in the middle of that and a couple things first off the ballots that you sent out to sign it was you either approved it or you didn't approve it well we have a lot of transients we got you know snowbirds people don't read or mail they think it's junk mail and it seems like you arbitrarily the ones that didn't vote got counted as affirmatives no I assume no only the respondents only about it so so the motion failed and are you in favor of peeping no ma'am I'm just saying I heard see I thought I read in the paperwork that if it if it you didn't reply then it was gonna be considered affirmative yeah no not in the paperwork okay so the so the motion failed so why are we continuing this if the motion failed you asked our opinion we voted it came back negative and now you're moving on with it I mean you're all elected officials I mean how would you like it if you win an election and then they decide oh no we're going to recount we're gonna redo it or we're gonna just not acknowledge that you won well the way we voted yes sir okay well there's a process okay but I'm just saying dad the the other thing is I'm not saying that we don't have holes in some of our roads now seems like we had like 10 holes and it's like over a million dollars for ten holes but I I mentioned just a suggestion that to the HOA because the HOA is got problems with foreclosures and stuff like this and houses getting run down and I said why don't you just put a mechanic's do the work fix it because the gentleman is right we have a lot of seniors in our subdivision and some of them can't fix up their house let alone the street and I was thinking you put a mechanic's lien elderly sell houses die whatever they loot you know house at that point the county could recover their their expense it through that process so you're not really penalizing or hurting any of them seniors in our subdivision make comments after it's done 3:9 good lower that mic if it's better for you thank you it won't stay down it's been this part right here Spencer that I can't see very well so that you got it here help is good okay she's got it okay good Diane Dimond topless three nine two four pass cake ort holiday three four six nine one I've done a little bit of research on the question of the Gulf area subdivision road paving proposed project and these are my views infrastructure is a public guarantee of a system of roads bridges tunnels sewers electrical grids telecommunications etc that enables essential services to enable sustain and enhance social living conditions in the USA u.s. citizens pay taxes to the federal government or fund our national security the military education defense infrastructure etc this vital infrastructure is funded by federal taxes and fees dedicated to the

design construction repair and maintenance and additional funds are collected from either in from other means including gas and sales tax plus driver's license registration and certain excise taxes about a year and a half ago Gulf tre subdivision went through a long time consuming process to have our roads paved with black composit asphalt paid for by the county while this was being done I spoke with the county workers who are doing work in my area in essence they told me the paving project was going to end our street problems and make our Ward's roads beautiful and to just please be patient and we were and they are beautiful however at the September 10th workshop meeting I believe our the speaker to say that only parts of golf tres were paved including Windridge and its cul-de-sacs where I live but that resident or the HOA had requested that their roads needed to be paved or repaved if this is true then why must our streets and cul-de-sacs be done over again if they're not necessary moreover why doesn't the county pay for the newly requested streets that the HOA claims are cracking it seems to me that the county has a responsibility to correct the problem of their own workmanship therefore it is about I'm sorry therefore if about half of golf tres subdivision was paved correctly before and paid for by the county it is totally unfair for those residents to now pay for a second road paving and it is totally unfair to ask other half of the residents to pay for the corrections of their road paving and that those corrective measures should be paid for by the county in other words why should we bring in private bidding contractors to correct the workmanship of the County workers as a matter of fact this Commission is asking the HOA residents to pay a large sum or installments or three times or more the annual amount of the HOA fees either way times up may I'm sorry if you could wrap it up real quick I will I'm almost finished I'm sorry I'd like I can't see very well wrap it up please we can't I again say please have the county use its own workers to use its own funds to pave or repay our streets and cul-de-sacs and if the county doesn't have the funds ask him through across monies needed for this from the state and the federal government agencies dedicated to pay for ma'am thank you yeah and I thank you and I hope you come to the right decision thank you very much email if you need a copy of this I'll give it to you my name is Aleph thereõs Catullus I'm living 39:19 Pascal court holiday Florida three four six nine one I'm a senior I'm gonna budget and I can't afford it to pay 7,000 to 8,000 dollars on my pocket what should I go get money for the state for the government someplace else we're seniors I'm gonna budget with $2,000 a month you don't ask me and I vote no and now you bring them over again thank you thank you sir good afternoon my name is Dave Kerbal I live at 3150 Sand Hill Drive I had a question I

I understand raising taxes to provide essentials for living roads and whatever I had never heard of this method of paying for road repairs has this happened before in other neighborhoods my second thing is I wonder about these legality of taking out a loan in my name and putting a lien on my house for a loan that I really didn't agree with so you've done this before too this is a special assessment process it's not a loan I understand raising taxes and that's I think where it belongs making people pay for their own roads without using tax money is unheard of in other in other cities and counties thank you thank you this is actually yes sir you might want to wait to the end but maybe not we still have to vote but exploiting the process and how this is not uncommon sure and let the speakers have their Emily they've just way people know what the process is if there's a confusion because I'd appreciate it I could appreciate it people don't know that so my name is Wayne spittle area a little bit 31:11 Ivy Hill court lived in Gulf trace for 16 years the roads needed to be replaced 16 years ago here we are 16 years later we've got manholes there two and a half inches above paved surface you can see the dirt coming through the asphalt I appreciate the fact that you know people don't want to pay for the fix but at a certain point these roads are shot and create vehicle damage they're a safety hazard you have people driving on the opposite sides of the roads to avoid the holes the manhole covers it's a safety hazard and I realized when you buy into a HOA or anything this used to be a premier neighborhood and these roads are gone they've been gone for years and it definitely needs to be done and certainly I have a million places I could put four thousand bucks but this needs to be done and if any of you've driven in that neighborhood you will know I drove from South Carolina back to my house the only roads that were as bad is when I turned on to my neighborhood Road so that's something to be said I'd appreciate you considering actually passing this and get these roads fixed because they definitely need to be done thank you thank you sir I live at 30 20 Somerville Drive and in holiday I'm from Wisconsin so we have a pothole season in Wisconsin so the roads to me aren't that bad certainly they would look nicer if they were paved but when I bought my house a year or so ago I didn't not buy the house because there was a pothole or two my basic complaint I guess whether it's going to be fixed or not which I assume it will be fixed is I think it's unfair for people that are not able to pay have to pay over a 10-year period with interests if they're too poor to pay up front it seems a little unfair to make them pay more just because they can't pay up front I'm not in that position but I think there should be some provision where if you can show that you're not able to pay it should be like a interest-free loan for the printers thank you thank you sir good afternoon

my name is Adele Googler I live at 40 23 ashley court in holiday florida in the gulf trade subdivision i'd been here since 1992 and ever since then they've been coming out and patching the potholes in my court from what i understand is when arthur Ruttenberg was building this subdivision the final surfacing of the roads was never done properly to start with I mean we've constantly called up about potholes in our court and they graciously come out and patched them plus the past couple years we've had son Toyota doing their test drives and they come into our court and turn around you know and switch drivers and stuff that's adding to the traffic in our court you know are you going to be assessing son Toyota for you know using our roads I understand that their county roads and that but I think they should also have to pay something it needs to be done it it's the roads have been deteriorating since 1992 thank you for your time thank you ma'am mr. chairman members the board this process is a is a special assessment process it is your historically Pasco County has not used any property taxes on local subdivision roads those the state nor the federal government will fuch will fund has any funding programs for local subdivision roads in fact you're having a hard time getting the state or feds to help you with with the state the state road system which a lot of times your impact fee and capital improvement dollars go on penny for Pasco was mentioned again that's a capital that penny is for capital improvements it's not for maintenance your gas tax is also attributed to the collector and arterial system for the county which leaves these local local roads basically to the process of using the the special assessment process which is a recognized under Florida law and is used by many other jurisdictions to provide special benefits to the property owners within a subdivision or not necessarily in a subdivision this is back before you because even though it failed on petition it was brought back as a board initiated which is allowable under your ordinance board voted to move this forward I'm not sure mr. Caldwell will have to have to answer whether or not this was one of the one of the ones that was initially funded with BP money and so it that's why it came back as board initiate there is a process for hardship if the residents qualify through community development but I don't know that whether or not the the residents of this neighborhood would qualify for that program but there there is a hardship program that is operated through the Community Development Division we're Department do we know is anybody here that can explain that in more detail and if we have in the past but what the income requirements are for that you know that yes that's a ship program Shi P program and flyer was set out in all the letters that were sent to the residents I have copies back here I can go over it again I think 26,000 I'll have to get to get

the details so 20,000 or less right okay and it's also depending on the number of households so the gentleman about people mm so he only HAP's 2,000 a month or social security wherever he would qualify I can't say but you would have to talk to the folks at that they better run the program sorry okay you said 26,000 right but there are other other other criteria can you answer if this was one of the ones that we paved with the BP money one Road in the subdivision was done single chip seal as a temporary fix so and if you were you guys weren't here when that happened but the roads were in such bad shape that when they got a lot of water they disintegrated and so we picked I think ten but how many did all within this subdivision was only one but there were how many total did we do what the BP money well the full projects that were done with BP money we're about six or seven well in the worst roads in the in the county to use to do a temporary fix with the BP money so that shows you the degradation of the roads in this subdivision there was only one that was done right with a single ship right so so they mentioned that these roads some of these roads were repave before is that what they meant that's the only thing I know it's the single chip okay so single chip temporary cover so that the roads can be drivable yes Ainsley I'm noticing here it's ten years that normally we don't do it for the length of 10 years do we typically ten years are they I don't know why I think it was four no it's five years if the assessment is on there thousand dollars and of the no votes do we know if those were rentals or were they all homeowners it's a little bit difficult to see but I pulled in numbers for homesteaded properties and there were 216 homestead properties and 66 zero were not homesteaded no about what about the ones that voted no we like to know that okay so this is a more difficult one because in the past they had voted no but we what's the history of bringing it back what do you remember I don't remember it's failed in March and the board directed us on the 24th of April to bring it back and then we had the workshop last week and we're here for the board to make a decision right so so I'm looking at the picture I've driven through there two years ago I was out there out of HOA meeting and I thought the roads were in bad shape then I tend to agree to repay these because your your roads going to deteriorate further and more quickly than you've seen in the past because I can see from the pictures that your sand is coming up through your asphalt so whatever wrote that is that that one in a couple more storms and that's going to be a pot of mush so I mean I'm inclined to to go ahead and fix these roads they're out there by the you know on the west side of nineteen um no I just it's just so costly to keep going back and trying to fix these when they they obviously need to be fixed I'm wondering about the interest rate though it in the past I think we have lowered that interest rate what was there anything we can do on that

interest rates the Board's decision so since this is a board initiated a project I'd like the board to consider loaning lowering that interest rate to I think we have some that are at 3.75 well 3 and it's the board's board's I'd like to consider lowering that down to 3.75 because we're doing a whole neighborhood and I think that could could help the residents especially it since this is a board initiated project just a little more discussion Cathy Pearson's here she's very familiar with a ship program Cathy can you talk about what these income numbers are I'm sorry Commissioner I do not have those with me right now but I will tell you it's based on household so maybe we can get it from the residents and they can read it cuz they give it to Kathy and Kathy if you don't mind can we you're a knight and I will talk to son Toyota they should not be driving through your neighborhood and I will make sure they stay on the collector and arterial roads which our roads like I'm Gulf trace Boulevard and little Road some of those roads that are out in your area Cathy Pierson assistant county administrator public services so based on the household one-person household program is available to oum homeowners under 50% of the median income for the Tampa Bay area so that equates to one-person household of 20650 two-person household 23600 three-person household 26550 four-person household 29,500 and so on there's one more thing I wanted to let some of our residents know who spoke because I know in some states they do it differently this is pretty much how they do it in Florida though some counties use ad valorem to fix the roads there is a line that we could wear we could collect money called road and bridges but we don't do that in Pasco County we don't tax you to fix the local roads so you don't pay to fix another neighborhoods failing roads you only responsible for your own failing roads just just so you know that mr. chairman when I look at this number and I look at the neighborhood when you see the pictures I struggle with why the number is so high I mean frankly when I when I look at a neighborhood like that something and the numbers should be at least close to half of what this number is why is the number so high we are using numbers that are on the current bid also we're doing full depth reclamation because the base is shot today the road is in bad condition so the full depth reclamation maybe I don't you have described it to the people give this description good because of the warm the the water table being high and also the intrusion of the water into the Lime Rock it becomes mushy doesn't support the weight and with the storms we had in 2015 you just have a continent degradation of the base full depper full depth reclamation is basically adding cement into the Lime Rock so you get a less a more impervious surface in other words the upwelling of the water doesn't go and make the Lime Rock you know mushy and doesn't support the asphalt on top a very very solid

long-lasting road and and in the rains when the garbage trucks come through they won't tear up your roads like they did in the past you just go a little further if I could I mean I just you know with this neighborhood I just want to do weekend is there any way we can lower down and full-depth is something's gonna last a lot longer than normal and were there any drainage of roots done in the area that need to be done Oh could be done with all all projects we look into existing drainage if there are collapse culverts ditches all that sort of thing is done prior to paving all right so is that included in here and if so how does that cost no big because it's an existing County maintained road that is not picked up in the project we we will have to do that maintenance regardless whether or not the road is being paved so it's not included it's not an additional cost in the project all right but is is there a cost associated with the stormwater into this project is the question yes sir but it was not a specific it's not specific to the project in other words if we had to replace one culvert and there was no paving project Public Works would have picked up that cost as a part of the maintenance so if the whatever storm if the Commissioner is asking whether or not it's part of the er you value that is being assessed to the residents the answer is no the answer that what Ansley is is trying to answer you is there is a cost and that cost would be picked up by stormwater as routine maintenance to to the neighborhood okay so in that we're going to do a paving assessment and one of the things on new policy is to actually go out and actually look at the stormwater needs that are out there like we just did in holiday country called the states has that been done here yet the project has not been being approved as yet usually when the project is approved we would now give this the storm of the folks to go ahead to the assessment when we did Country Club estates we actually looked at the storm water ahead of time and put that into the cost what it was going to be to follow up if so this this cost is just for full depth reclamation right divided by the number of ER use if there are storm water improvements that you can do to help keep water off the streets that they will bear no cost of that along with this project we will eat those costs case ok it's not a question of even just eating the cost I don't want to do it unless we know we've done all the stormwater stuff prior to staffing the project so so say for example the board approves a project today what we do is notify the stormwater folks they would go to an assessment in terms of any dishes that need to be cleared and the culverts that need a very place and inlining you know that need to be installed and that would be done prior to the actual paving pressure from the photos you can see there's actually stormwater infrastructure in the subdivision itself

some of these that we've gone out in the past there has been no stormwater infrastructure it's just been asphalt and then grass and ditch next to it this one actually has stormwater infrastructure so my guess is if there are stormwater issues it's just because we have some flat spots in the road that have developed over time not a significant systemic issue in the neighborhood now there may be a bigger issue with major storms but those aren't the ones that cause a major issue and it looks like the infrastructure is in place here alright so and I know it's close to the Gulf etc so the area let me make a recommendation in mr. stark yeah I like your idea of lowering the interest rate down you want to take it further not I'm willing to consider that but I also think we should because of its full depth reclamation because of the high costs in for these people I think we should look at taking instead of 10 years out to 15 years as well I mean the road is gonna last a lot longer anyway just responsible what is it Perea are you again after the discounts it's four thousand three hundred and eighty seven dollars ladies okay so it's $438 G a year a year less interest no no not a year over 4,000 said somebody said 4,000 I go my gosh $38 10 years for eg are you yes what a plus interest yes so what I was trying to hold on yeah she can't talk from the audience he can't talk from the audience you can't talk from the audience sir so any had public comment sir I'm assuming you've addressed it cuz he has to a are years I'm assuming well they are you it's $4,000 so I'll keep going for a second keeping that number one more time four thousand four thousand three hundred and eighty-seven dollars 387 yes so you're talking about going to 15 Commissioner okay the beat 298 year to 92 plus your interest nominal that rate so I just want you to know that means we're taking money out of fixing another road when you do that because we use the money that you pay in to fix someone else's road so we we have like this rolling account and that and someone asks why we're not doing mechanical liens well we have millions of dollars out there that we can't collect using that kind of system so we switched to this system because now we get paid we don't have to wait till someone sells their property because that is the money we're using to fix your road so it keeps us having this kitty that we can put out to work so if we if we take a take this money out of that kitty then it's just less roads we can do every year so let me just ask you a quick question and I know there's several other neighborhoods we approved forced paving assessments forward you know their roads flooded high tide it would back up and flood these roads I don't think that's the case and these these roads the water table that it is the case of the relative Liz Heiser but I don't know that the roads flood like

when we looking at it but I mean what's the difference in cost if we do the full depth reclamation or just regular paving its how much more economical is it I'm not saying you could do it here but it's not a question of being economical it's the best value of the best I'm just practice it's about the same price than yours Oh No okay well if you add 25 percent less I took their vote I don't have any years how many years is give me the lifespan of one compared to the other so full depth is what how many years the full depth Enron in 25 30 years it depends on what goes on with if it's just without the that depends on what's happening with the water table it's a little bit hard to do a comparison Commission of the strength of your road is in your base and if your base is soft because it's wet or whatever your your asphalt doesn't have any inherent strength in it it relies in this base and so when you do cement and treat it you actually nup with a stronger base expecially when you have high water tables that are going to impact that base and so you're probably really talking a 25 year solution versus something that's in the 5 or 10 year range and we did core samples out there show that yes you can see it under cue list we see the same thing right there water we're not using full def right there that's why I'm just asking the question so I'm gonna make the motion that we approve this project at let's let's go for 12 years at 3.75 percent interest do have a second I was more comfortable with the motion what 15 years I was more comfortable what mister yeah all right well let's go for 15 years at 3.75 would you consider 3.25 no because we got other roads that need to be paid and you're draining the kitty I think not that kind of neighborhood I'm sorry but sometimes I want to drop it downward we're talking there's a holiday like estates and you know some of those communities and this is not you said we've done it before yeah it's a community and I asked mrs. oh they got some people here that said they're you know they have some their lower income and retired so but they'll get the ship funds mr. chairman can I ask you a question yeah but Jeff speak please so he's the 4.25 one percent above prime know it's prime that's prime as of October last year which is said annually ok so the ones that the ones that were at 3.25 we had actually dropped to prime at that time so Prime has gone up over the last couple of years and so anything anything you anything adjust from 4.25 is is really hurting you mr. chairman you know if you look at the amount of interest rate we collect in the funds we have I think we still get probably less than 1% they were up over 1% now these people gonna be paying it back to us you've got other loans they're out there at 3.25 you've got some that we're done many years ago there were even a lot higher when the race for H were higher I don't know when this came in so the change had to happen recently because I know interest rates are going better in the banks now but I think we should just

make it a policy from this point so we don't get in this discussion let's just keep that rate at 3.25 it's still more money than we make if we have money in cities in reserves anyway so I'd support if you want to go 15 years in the 3.25 get a second so I guess I'm going lower okay so 15 years at 3.25 will you talk to the gentlemen anyone who has more than one ERU and explained to them how that works that they want to down double-check that I just went through your roll I don't think anybody over 1er you yeah I didn't mind that either properties their case if they own two properties does it still yeah singly are you each but I just went through your rolls while we're sitting here and I didn't see anybody over one please go with the gentleman right behind you sir I may have missed one - there's a lot thank you thank you okay anything else to come between it before the board Jim hey mr. mayor [Music] a few years back we had a I want to go back to committee a couple of comedians I should have brought up earlier so they Thank You mr. chairman yeah couple years back we had a couple of times we were looking at different ordinances as far as nitrogen release into the Gulf and all and pinellas in hills row we're looking at wooden TSA's they actually passed one we didn't put up yeah we didn't put the blackout period in so I'd like staff to bring back to us an ordinance where we do put the blackout period like Pendleton Hills Road did and so we can look at it it'll be better for my environment better for the release into the waters and being that we had trouble with it because it was a new ordinance we didn't know how to actually structure it I think it's been established now that has been a lot of kick back and I think we should be environmentally responsible it's it's not a big deal for us to go do it so are you looking for just so that we bring back the right version you're looking for one that bans application during during the summer months or are you looking for one that bans the sale of which I think Pinellas is the sale of okay I'm not familiar with Tampa or Hillsborough I don't I think it'd be soon but I think the application is because I don't want I don't want a private company come in just doing it to put it in there either well commercial applicators are normally exempted okay what if you but if you want us to look at the Hillsborough and Pinellas models and bring bring you back the recommendation are that we can do that too okay awesome and I just have one other item back I think probably last month we talked about some development that were going on in the Hudson area we had Frank faculty came forward boatyard we had kind of redid the planning of the property so we could actually have some building going out there one else gonna be built another one may be built and they wanted to put the seawall up to match the local neighbor now I've done a lot of times

driving around here since that point in time and I think that everybody should be able go up to at least the highest seawall that's out there already into that area obviously subject to the permit I talked with FEMA a couple of Representatives all the way to DC all the way down they agreed that they didn't see a problem with keeping the higher seawall it just keeps water from coming into the land it comes it keeps keeps private come in the house the staff I think is confused about it and I say staff with the people who were doing the permitting because they just wanted to keep it low low but FEMA doesn't care exactly it doesn't make any sense FEMA didn't care as long as you weren't affecting the base flood elevation though they didn't want you to go near it necessarily but they didn't mind having a high C while they thought it actually made sense as well I even had an engineer we had the firm Maps at Hudson library he agreed I'm very happy to say that our building official Esther was actually out talking with some FEMA reps and she is now under the same understanding I am now the difficulty with permanent under Donn and esters it's not right under his control as far as how high this CL can be so I'd like John and that's to kind of work together go put a stakeholder committee and we've got a few people who we've talked about and staff even both sides of staff agree that we should go do that so give them some flexibility to let them come back to us and kind of put something together as far as how we can make our community safer and smarter as it built and forward with that said there's one of the thought as well right now we put the fill ordinance in place it was designed to be if someone's in the bottom of a basin that we didn't fill them and so they flooded out their neighbor neighborhood I don't think it should really apply to the sea walls here so a staff would bring that back to us because if you got to fill in dirt from a seawall and raise up your land to match the neighbor it's really just the right thing to do anyway because we had this problem out in Gulf harbors we had someone who elevated their height of their seawall and the neighbor one of the neighbors was lower and they were very concerned that they were going to now have a flooded yard so I you know you got a I don't you can't be higher than your mean I don't there's got to be some way to resolve that you can't be higher than your neighbor can't float your neighbor right can't flood your neighbor and you know for that one situation I did good there as well and in that situation he did go higher than the rest of them but at least you should be able to match whatever the highest one is around you because you wanted to be as high as they can be anyway and I don't think it really actually affects the neighbour itself in this situation but at least let them go look at it - raising that level to what you can match because right now we had one neighbor that they were they wanted to go next to they

wanted to be a foot lower than the other guy that didn't make any sense that's what kind of started this whole thing I just you just can't flood your neighbor I don't however you accomplished that you just can't flood your neighbor and again if water from the Gulf's coming in where the one guy's actually higher than that that one is gonna spread everywhere anyway but I do see a point as far as not going crazy otherwise how to put the word automatic in there Commissioner Oakley those deserve our building department set the height of a seawall because to me it seems like that's a core job if it's on the waterway Don Rosenthal assistant county administrative development services we work with the core requirements not the corporate fema requirements and we help set those we are we have some concern as to whether or not we should be in certain elements of that business and that's one of the things that we're going to be looking at yeah well I would be concerned as I was thinking the core head rule over like seawalls so in this chair and it was I was you know when I heard about the FEMA requirements you know the federal agency was actually dealing with the flooding what they want to see or not it didn't make sense to me why did bill to see well low when you can build it high not gonna affect anybody okay so I mean you get the point so as long as we look at it and and again I even had an engineer that was there from NFIP brought him over to kind of look at the issue as well and he goes as long as you don't do what some of the people Miami did what I tried to put like a 15 high flood seawall in there sometimes nothing like we sat down and Gulf harbors but as long as it's a reasonable number is if you're not reflecting the base flood elevation they don't have a problem with it and if you think about it actually makes it safer if everybody's up to that higher level that's everybody in the neighborhood everybody's house is a little bit safer and doesn't affect anybody and that's what created the problem and go flowers they Tod built his seawall then he had the backbone and then he was higher than the lady on the corner and then she got very concerned that the water was going to come in and blow out her seawall so they're big there's a way I'm sure they can figure yeah I'm fine with you guys looking at it you know is that what do you agree Esther all right so after you and you just talked to some FEMA people about the seawall issue yes we are in a meeting with FEMA and I talked with him I with my group it's not the same as the BFE elevation elevation yeah but they talked about the negative impact to the neighbors that they have to be able to give us an analysis that is not impacting the enables negatively and secondly any stem or sea wall that is above six feet has to be engineered which right now we don't do missions we have to work with the County Attorney's Office and with the and come back for the board and bring those requirements in and would they meet the requirements of FEMA okay

millage rate of seven point six oh seven six Mills the county realized a nine point five 1% increase in taxable assessed values over the past year compared to the current fiscal year the final general fund expenditure budget represents an increase of twenty two and a half million dollars the main factors for this increase include fully funding of the sheriff and other constitutional x' a four percent wage increase for board and costume officer employees five point four million dollars for business plan initiatives and six point four million dollars for infrastructure improvements prior action by the Florida Legislature eliminated the requirement for a mandatory transportation ad valorem tax no transportation millage was levied for fiscal year eighteen and we proposed no millage be assessed for the Transportation Fund for capital transportation needs during fiscal year 2019 since revenue from this fund comes from the second local option gas tax and the tax increment financing fund thank you it is now time to accept comments from the public on the general fund and the Transportation Trust Fund budget and associated millage rates individuals will be provided three minutes to speak and one representative from an organization or group will be will be provided five minutes to speak time limits will be strictly adhere to please limit your comments at this time to discuss the general fund and transportation trust fund we will be calling upon people to speak based upon their sign-in sheet if you wish to speak but I've signed signed up you'll be given an opportunity to speak after those who have signed up if spoken I do just have one person signed up looks like John Milner is that correct all right if you'd like to come forward good evening sir good evening commissioners thank you for your time my name is John Milner I live in district number four at three four five two tophi Boulevard New Port Richey Florida three four six five five last year I paid on a property five hundred and three dollars in taxes this year is proposed that I play 613 that's a 22% increase I have analyzed the proposed property taxes from the property appraiser and it looks like the big increase is in the local school board tax where last year I paid forty six dollars and this year I will pay 101 which is an increase of one hundred and twenty percent I have two simple questions and maybe my district commissioner Michael Wells jr. can answer them for me question number one did the school board raise their taxes to make up for the state decrease in funding and number two can the County Commission overrule overrule the local school board County Commission cannot I'll start with that question first County Commission cannot overrule the school board okay school board's public hearing I believe is tomorrow night okay to adopt their millage I don't without doing an analysis of your bill I'm not sure but if but if you're correct and your your millage there in having they are

proposing an increase of their millage that is their ability to do item not sure why they're doing it but those questions would be better posed to the school board okay so I can ask that question tomorrow night yes thank you very much no problem Joe it would anybody up oh good evening the opportunity mutual Cober Nick 5000 went South Shore in reviewing the proposed budget and the millage rates one thing that does jump out at me which I just wanted to point out is that on the line item permits fees and special assessments that's being increased from 92 million to 121 million which is a 32% increase this is the category that includes MSP use MSP use are a topic that's very near and dear to my heart I have issues with some of the MSB use that the county has been passing because MSP use are regressive taxes they're not based on the value of the house they are assessed equally to all houses in a particular district that are supposed to be specially benefit by the imposition of the MSB you some districts may have very low value houses along with high value houses and each one of those taxpayers is assessed exactly the same when an MSP you is a past as opposed to paying it out of general funds or affecting the millage rate of the county so this 32 percent increase now this is not all MSP use because it includes permits fees and special assessments so I don't know how it's broken out but this category does include MSB use and this is a very big increase and all I wanted to do was point out that this huge increase does not affect the millage rate but it disproportionately affects low-income homeowners thank you what anyone else like to speak okay ok public comment on the general fund and transportation trust fund budgets and millage rates has been received through discussion by the board as their emotions like mr. chairman please continue with is there a motion to adopt the final millage rate for fiscal year 2019 for the general fund of seven point six zero seven six Mills so moved second all in favor aye any opposed is there a motion to adopt the final millage rate for fiscal year 2019 for the Transportation Trust Fund of 0.000 Mills Oh move on favor mr.
