as a result of the board's continuance and direction that we received okay so brief uh brief uh recap here on the timeline right back in uh December 22 ordinance 2264 uh started us down this journey uh and and established uh the local road mstu then in April of 2023 structural and legal changes uh delayed that implementation by a year due to some challenges uh back then in September uh ordinance 2335 amended boundaries and provided for an appeals process with the structure that was outlined in that ordinance and then ultimately in January as we started to work to implement that uh tax data revealed some additional implementation challenges which has led us to the ordinance that is presented to here today so a quick comparison between those two ordinances the current ordinance that is adopted focuses only on local roads uh multiple excluded classes created some challenges there um and we've discussed those at length in Prior sessions and this would also require the formation of an appell board to deal with appeals uh with some of those excluded classes so there in the blue we've got the proposed ordinance and in brief here this applies uniformally to all unincorporated uh parcels and expands the services uh to artero collector Road types and it removes most of those implementation challenges so now we get to uh what happened last time in on June 4th right on June 4th uh we presented this ordinance and and ultimately uh the board voted to continue that item till today and directed staff to create an option that would retire the pvas program um and would eliminate Billings and balances so I'll give a quick quick synopsis here of the financial impact uh if the board chooses to take those options so you see the graph here um this is uh 8.5 million is presented here before you which is 8.1 is composed of current principal um and 400,000 is current interest and so this waiver would also mean that we would cease collection uh efforts on these assessments that are current the next set of actions that the board would have to take uh to implement this would be would also require the board to uh cease placing unbuild past projects on future tax rols we have an item after this in this hearing uh that ultimately we' recommend be continued uh to the July hearing um and that would be composed of 16 projects uh totaling an estimated uh principal amount of about 4 and a. half million and this would be this would not be build to Residents this is an annual process that every year when PS projects are completed uh the team Works to aggregate all those costs and then ultimately put them on the tax rols pursuant to the entire pvas process here in number three there's three p projects that have an estimated of 2.2 million in expenditures that were approved under the methodology these have not yet uh that horse has not yet left the barn right so we haven't issued ntps and so the recommendation here uh under the set of actions that would need

to be done would be that we would pause that and shift that over to the mstu finally uh the board would need to direct staff to take the necessary steps uh to adopt an ordinance extinguishing current Paving assessment debt and in preparation for this item uh staff is already working on something should the board direct us to do it to come back in the July hearing to provide the board with that ordinance that would provide them the authority to do this so I'll pause here because the rest of the presentation here is what was heard and presented at the last board meeting and feel questions if there are any okay thank Mr Whitman thank you chair just appreciate all your and the whole team's work on this post last board so to confirm in layman's terms this proposal that we're voting on today we're going to forgive all existing posos payments owed to the county so the proposal today uh and what we've worked very closely with the county attorney's office to draft is to eliminate all current debt and so we would stop assessing anything moving forward so um so say someone was in a 10-year assessment right and they were in year seven right we would not uh pursue collection efforts on the remaining three years and so I know one of the the goals that was outlined by this commission was uh was in consideration for this mstu was the appearance of two items for like purposes right albe it different on the same tax bill right this would eliminate that and then we would also th for those that paid and full upfront would receive essentially a reimbursement we're outlining a process to do that yes sir okay two good points second thing and we would still have the ability to work with the cdds and potentially some HOAs individually on a caseby casee basis to work through some of their potential concerns and challenges with ro if I can we would not be working with HOAs we would we could work with cdds um the HOAs roads would be private and so there's not unless you were going to take their roads and make them public roads which I don't think is in the cards that wouldn't be that wouldn't be a choice but um cdds roads are Quasi Public public roads um we could as I discussed with the commissioner we could enter into interlocal agreements to take collectors from them if that was the board's desire um because there are some some cdds that are maintaining what function as a County collector that are ungated that we could fund through this MST okay thank you for clarification County attorney that's it okay anyone else any other questions I'm just glad we're here today um you know we are one of the only counties in America who does it still this oldfashioned way and um it was not a good use of our staff's time and the Public's time to go through that

petition process neighbor against neighbor and and to come up here and then do all that work and then have it fall apart um so I I'm glad we're moving on to more more uh a better way to do this program right exactly so this is a public hearing so uh no one signed up for it but I believe we have some people that would like to speak to p45 and if they will they'll come line up behind the podium and to speak to p45 anyone in the audience wish to speak to this item and I can't can't be sure but I think we've answered most of your questions so you got to wait till you get here so give me your name and address for the clerk yes sir my name is angelene Middle pull that pull that mic down right right on the end just turn it down okay can you hear me that's good yes ma'am okay my name is Angeline middle initial ZZ and zebra last name Figaroa and I'm here to object to the paving assessment I don't know what he mentioned I didn't understand what he was talking about I don't know if he was against it or for it we need your address ma'am I'm sorry address oh I'm sorry it's 8822 Huntsman Lane Port Richie Florida 34668 that's in the Bear Creek subdivision I received a letter uh accepting taxes to pay for the paving assessment and the amount was for to collect from me but that's if you guys uh okay that's accept it that's not this item but it's not the paving assessment this is this collec this ordinance is to do away with the paving Assessment program okay which I assume we be in support of my apologies but that's okay I oppose it I'm not I wrote a letter and I uh submitted it and I had it notorized at the uh so your item let's yeah I put a letter would be the would be the addendum 91 um but if you wish to go ahead and make your comments now we can probably take them well I so you received the letter it was just basically uh I'm disabled I'm a senior citizen okay I live by myself at home and uh I pay property taxes which again I oppose that as well because we all know it's unconstitutional and uh said as I wrote on the letter I am a disabled senior with limited income and do not own tangible assets but I had but had I my financial strain could have been eased why is the Department of Public Works Paving Assessment program in times of hyperinflation also economic crisis want to enforce these costs on property taxes bill under your uniform tax collection method thus compounding more hardship to lives of families with children and disabled seniors why not create positive constructive Solutions and not inflict the brink of Destruction adding more Misery we pay for absolutely all in this world and feel the pressure as well as are awake to this corrupt governments no disrespect to you but we mean this to the corrupt governments this is not freedom I object

citing um businesses who are cutting trees into little lollipops and little pyramids because they're supposed to be trees not little pyramids so they they've got to go back to those also we made it really easy for the businesses we said if you can't if you can't find your site plan and um you can instead of using the original landscape plan you can just use the current one um which I think we've improved upon so um so that that makes it easy for them and also we have Landscaping grants available that are are matching grants so I want to put that out there to Industry and to businesses that we are here to here to help you uh along that line I've been meeting with people in the sign industry and um when a when when you have a strip center say and it's an old strip center and and we actually had this at the Holiday mall at moo and 19 that Mark gold bought um if you have a nonconform in sign and you have a tenant who wants to put a new wall sign on the building they cannot put a sign up until they've taken down their non-conforming sign um so uh we want to make that a little easier for businesses I still believe in that rule um we're get we've gotten a lot of signs down um but but it does make a bit of a hardship for some of the businesses that have moved in and are reliant on the um L the the property owner to get that done in a timely fashion so um this is language from the county attorney's office from my meeting with them and and and people in the sign business yesterday we want to request staff to consider making an amendment to the non-conforming sign Provisions to allow signs on site while the non-conforming sign is being taken down so if if there is a plan to take the old non-conforming sign down we want to and they've signed an agreement that that will be coming down we want to let the businesses go ahead and get their Wallside so I it's very Pro business so I figured you guys would be okay with that I also want that's to bring back an amendment to the ordinance yeah they'll bring it back under one of those glitch deals um I I also want to um publicize that we do also U through our economic um development office have money available for companies who want help want or need help in changing those signs out that are on the street so there are grants available we because we we we want to encourage um that cleanup and so so uh people may not know that we're in the process of making a brochure so that the um companies know what resources are available to them if would you be opposed if if we're going to kind of run a quote unquote glinch bill on signs could we do that with fences particularly around with chain linking the industrial properties that we've run in challenges with kind of run those parallel with each other what's what's the problem uh cabal help me articulate this I think the issue is some industrial folks have complained that ornamental fences aren't exactly pragmatic to their to their business and

that things like chain link provide added security stability and things like like that for certain types of businesses well uh chain link doesn't provide any security you climb right over that more visual Visual and it's sturdier doesn't blow in a rainstorm and it's less of an expense on the business when we changed the rules there's B there's several businesses in our office was contacted and we've run them through uh our bureaucracy on trying to figure out a way to fix it and the fences were there before they were on the property but because the business changed use those businesses got hemmed up in our new rules and they had to go through preap site plan they had to hire land use attorneys um and the cases that came to us chain link made perfect sense instead of like PVC or or vinyl fence and it was one of these issues where the one size fits all captured certain businesses where that type of of safety product if you will just didn't make sense and you bring this up kind of brings back an opportunity if you'd be meable to it to open it back up and have staff take a look to try to be more flexible with our fence rules there so if we can run them together okay um How about if it's um if they if there's a special exception so it's not everybody that it's coated and it doesn't have Bob wire on it cuz we don't want our yeah bar barb wire is not wasn't the is was not the concern they weren't want they were wanting the higher fence they could see in potentially mess have the F like lands they weren't necessar even opposed to the landscape they have to have landsape it was the this the quality of the fencing to protect what they have inside of there and then in a wind storm it doesn't blow away it could keep I mean these are work sites keep are you talk whatever blowing away no no no there's there's several I guess I'd be okay if uh they came in and ask CU I don't want to just blanket um no it would be surgical kind of like what you're doing here with your it need would need to be coated and maybe um you know make sure we have very good Landscaping so so this is only on collector arterial and important roads in the county it's not on every road we're just trying to get away from Bob wire and chain link on our main assets so so we need them in the motion to run these kind of glitch Bill scenarios in tandem yeah well one is the LDC and one is we normally Run glitches together anyway it's a package if the if the board's direction is to to deal with that previous amendment to fences and refine it a little more for certain businesses is I think staff can do that so speaking for for my team more than Denise but I think that I don't think that that's problem Denise here but caral you're familiar with the cases I've SE we've talked about right are they large Parcels is that why they're objecting to the vertical metal fence miss that last part commissioner

I'm sorry are they like larger Parcels because larger industrial type users I mean what you're suggesting is a special exception and maybe we can work and craft language that would provide relief to a certain segment yeah because it currently we don't have the flexibility whatsoever and there's mounting penalties from code enforcement and Etc and it's to to me it's a bit bit much just you know I'm I'm look at I drive by that site on um Rowan you might know it Rowan and pine Ranch Road all the time chain length bob wire and now they you know it's supposed to be a visual barrier so they've got that green fabric on it that should never have been in that place at the be at the first place but it's at the entrance to Nature's Hideaway and um it's very very inappropriate to be out in front of a neighborhood on a major collector like that so um I'm just would be selective um certainly no B wire but I'll give into the coded and maybe some kind of extra Landscaping yeah the on larger Parcels yeah the sites that I'm referencing these businesses this the fencing has been there for probably a decade or more well then it's already there uhuh because it was a change in use they had they've been put through the the fencing ringer uh it's been a learning experience so I figure it's a good is it on 41 okay because go I hope we get that road cleaned up before while we're trying to Ru International companies so I I'll I'll second commissioner starky's amended motion I guess you have to amend your motion to into the glinch what's your motion now have bring back um well we'll see it in the glitch bill um will you brief us before the language before how does that work I mean what should the motion be I don't I don't know if it's a motion I think it's just board Direction actually we would we I think that I think we'd like a motion basically that staff that the board is authorizing staff to proceed with adding fencing and The Limited issue on fencing and The Limited issue on signs as the Commissioners have described to the next to the next round of glitch bills that's second ltdc thank you commissioner St motion second I'll all those in favor say I I I okay motion pass 4 zero oh Denise is in what we done are you done did you need us did we do okay I I was talking to a customer so if you told me what we were talking about oh well we just added a little work for you problem on signs a little glitch on the signs and a little glitch on fencing um I'm completely familiar with the glitch on the signs what is the glitch on fencing we're the new the the most recent amendment to fencing oh no chain link the noain AR that there are certain exceptions that okay for with conditions um coded extra landscaping and not a big parcel got it okay where' you go wow we weing through this meeting

move forward and be a big part in Pasco County right there in 75 and at the northeast corner of 75 and 52 so so and that's on the move so they're Northeast or Southeast Northeast it's a different project right behind one passco Center um the other project that we need um to be working on with Swift Mud is the um ability to put uh a uh sidewalk or Trail through Connor preserve um with 52 with that sidewalk um by the way we we were successful and getting do to um widen and heighten the Critter crossing that's that's near the Conor preserve so that we could now have a bike trail going under 52 the new part of 52 instead of trying to go over 52 um so so we'll have because there are plans in the county to have a trail go from I think that's your District uh who has Shady Hills and 4G Ranch that's Jack 4G ranch or 4G is mine but okay so the other side of East the west side of 41 is Jacks north of this on the east side of 41 okay is it on the Southeast side that's my side well it's Conor preserve all the way up to crossbar and albar that's that's where the trail is going to go okay both you so there will be a multi wonderful multi-use Trail going up that route and now we're going to be able to go right under 52 instead of trying to go over it with a pedestrian bridge or or something is everything okay um at the no meeting we did bring up the um saying this for the AAS not just for she here for all of you because you were there you know they they kind of moved 54 and 41 out like three or four more years and we are not happy about that so um I I had talked to Senator Hooper about um about this issue and he said you put it in the fiveyear work plan I will find the money so um so they said that the design part of it is in the fiveyear work plan not not much more but we're going to work real hard to help get that money to accelerate the 544 one overpass because we can't wait till the middle of 2035 for them to start building that thing so is Linda har in the audience Amanda Amanda excuse me Amanda come forward Amanda but also I misunderstood what she was telling me so this I got to hear names and they don't work and I can't hear thank you chair um my name is Amanda Hart it's um 12438 citation Road in Spring Hill Florida um I've met with many of you over the past 13 years my company black Media Group has um the current contract for Transit advertising for Basco County and I had a meeting with um purchasing this morning and it was shared with me that they are not going to be renewing the um Transit advertising contract and there's a problem as far as I see it because we have current advertisers that are um advertising on the buses and in my current contracted state that if let's just say the RFP were were to go out as scheduled that if a new company came on they would inherit those advertisers so I was informed about an

hour and a half ago um that I am to remove all of the advertisements off of the buses and that all the current contracts even though my contract currently stays that this would continue to go on that I'm supposed to remove every Advertiser off of those buses um right now um we're netting approximately approximately 100 I write the county a check for approximately $117,000 every month and my contract's for 5 years so it's about a million dollar project and I asked um purchasing who made this decision today and they told me that staff did okay you take that with staff cuz I mean so I here to to speak to the board to ask for a 6mon extension to my contract until we can figure out how this is going to go for my current advertisers these current advertisers are small businesses within Pasco County that I have contracts with it's a reflection of not my company but also the county well that's something you have to take up with that staff so and then they go through the right channels Mr cabala yes Mr chair thank you um commissioner Mariano did Express an interest of joining in on the meeting I think he had an opinion I think I think we sent him a WebEx link is he no no no not yet okay um this has kind of come come to my attention here very very recently again it's it's my understanding that the it's a five-year contract right and so like all contracts the the board votes on them they they end some contracts we renew uh through rfps other contracts we don't for for operational decisions I I I will say and I'm you know I would defer to Kathy Pearson or Nina if they're around but you know I mean I'm I'm looking at the at the business case for it again I don't know what was in your contract or what was what was put forward but I mean the contract as a whole is is essentially meeting only the minimum guarantee uh it is it is falling short nearly 60% of what the revenue projections were when the county entered into this contract it's my understanding that staff are actually looking at other Revenue generating opportunities more more modern type Revenue opportunities uh perhaps looking at I would say inflight service or those those types of things they had some branding concerns as well since we reband branded is go Pasco um to provide more awareness to the go Pasco brand versus making them mobile ads um you know again it's an operational business decision I'm looking to the department heads to uh you know make up that Revenue through other through other means but uh you know I look at it it's been a fiveyear run uh contract looks like it was anticipated to generate just my rough numbers to two and a half million so making a million over five years still falls short of what the revenue expectations would be for the contract that's what I have here in front of me okay um I have not had an opportunity to sit down and delve into this deeper or or have a conversation with missart but I'll defer to whatever the board wants have to go back through the staff

chairman yes sir uh M caral I had a uh she's not here her procurement your our procurement head car Carrie uh Miss Hart shared her concerns about her existing contract with me and she stated that the RFP I wish she was here she's in the building uh was to not be renewed because of some potential decisions or opinion coming out of the state legislature okay uh and it was a concern it wasn't there was nothing statutorily that was passed and um so that was really the the mechanism that's led to I think to this point today so I ask that you get with her and discuss whatever that means before we just ask a contract from a Lo a long longtime contract from a good business here in the county well I mean not we can't we're not I'm not prepared to talk about this at all I mean I have no so we can't I don't know take action here I'm sorry so Kathy when does the or Miss har you probably know as well when when does the contract expire the contract does expire June 30th and the reason that I brought it to the board today and I understand if the if staff wants to go in a different different direction I'm 100% and we'll Embrace that my concern is with the advertisers because I wasn't made aware of it before the end of my contract I'm more concerned about the advertisers such as Advent health and the large advertisers that we have on the buses is to make sure that we live up to our end of the contract because I wasn't given any notification that this was going to end which is fine again if the staff wants to go in a different direction I again will Embrace that but I'm concerned of in regards to the advertisers within our County these are small business businesses that have made sacrifices and able in order to advertise on these buses with all due respect your contract said that it was a cumulative five-year deal and then it was over yes sir yes yes sir yes sir Mr County attorney if you entered into contracts that extended beyond that time that's on you no sir according to my contract it states that I can write I can write contracts up until contract says if you're terminated for convenience the new vendor would have to pick up this contract is going to expire that is correct that's not termination for convenience you're relying on a provision that doesn't apply I I think it's based upon however you see it as well how we've been doing this we've been doing Transit advertising in Pasco County for over 15 years and the contract is written that if another company were to take on this RFP they would they would take on the active contracts and nowhere States in my current contract that I am no longer allowed to write contracts for Transit advertising no that's your business decision and if and your liability that's not how it was explained to me and that's not how it's been done that's not IND industry standard

either all right thank you that's thank you anything else to add here anything else Mr cabala yes sir good to everyone thank the staff for everything they do um I always want to remember that you know in this team it's no eye there's there's teamwork all the way around so every department is at the top so we certainly appreciate everything all their employees too thank you with that we adjourn why emergency [Music] e
