[Call to Order by Chair]
[1. Emergency Management Update]
[00:14:09]
OTHERS -- THIS IS A FEDERAL PROGRAM, FOLKS.
[00:14:12]
US CONSTITUTION APPLIES AND I KNOW THAT LOCAL BUSINESS PEOPLE[00:14:16]
HERE AND POLITICIANS WHO TOLD ME ONCE HE DIDN'T BELIEVE IN FEDERALISM TALKING ABOUT THE NATIONAL PARK AND SEA SHORE.SERIOUSLY, YOU CAN'T DISCRIMINATE AGAINST SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T LIVE IN FLORIDA. I HAD A DISCUSS ABOUT THIS SEVERAL WEEKS AGO AND HE AGREED. HE'S A LEGAL.
GET RID OF PATRICK FRANCIS MCCOULD REMEMBERIC.
IT'S TIME FOR HIM TO GO. HE NEEDS TO JUST GET OUT OF THERE AND YOU NEED A NATIONAL OR STATE OR AT LEAST A STATEWIDE SEARCH FOR A NEW COUNTY ATTORNEY BECAUSE NOT HAVING LEGAL ADVICE ON CONSTITUTIONAL LAW ISSUES LIKE PRIVILEGES AND IMMUNITIES CLAUSE. A COUPLE OF Y'ALL ALAWYERS.
[00:15:04]
MAKE SURE THAT WHEN THE FARM WORKERS COME THEY'RE COVERED AND INKNOCK LATED. THANK YOU.>> THANK YOU. I THINK WE HAVE ANOTHER CALL IN.
>> NUMBER ONE RESCIND MASK REQUIREMENT IN COUNTY BUILDINGS.
NUMBER TWO, WHAT IS THE CURRENT COUNT OF COUNTY EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE IT'SED POSITIVE FOR COVID-19.
FLORIDA RESIDENTS WILL RECEIVE COVID-19 VACCINE.
I APPRECIATE WHAT MR. CONRAD SAID BECAUSE SLOWLY THE COUNT IS GOING UP AND THE LAST INFORMATION THAT I WAS ABLE TO GLEAN AS OF JANUARY 2021, 23,061 INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN VACCINATED 234 ST. JOHN'S COUNTY. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING A CITY OF ST. AUGUST STEIN COMMISSIONER WAS MADE AWARE THAT FREE COVID-19 TESTING, TESTING, I REPEAT THAT WORD IS AVAILABLE AT VCS STORES. PLEASE DIRECT THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR OR MR. PLEASE ASK MR. JOE TO VERIFY AT VCS.COM.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER AND PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THIS.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER MASK AND UNILATERAL EDICTS WILL NOT SAVE ANYONE. PLEASE READ EPHESIANS 2: 8.9.
TIME TO DIE. HE BREWS 927 AND THEN THE JUDGMENT AND I WANT TO SAY WE NEED TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE RESPECTFUL OF EACH OTHER DURING THIS SITUATION.
I THINK WHENEVER WE TALK AND CALL IN TO THESE MEETINGS, WE NEED TO RAIL HE LOOK AT OURSELVES AND REALLY BE CONSIDERATE BECAUSE I THINK TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE LOOKING OUT FOR THEMSELVES AND NOT LOOKING OUT FOR OTHER PEOPLE AND I KNOW WE'RE A SELFISH BUNCH OF PEOPLE. THAT'S WHY JESUS CAME.
BUT STILL, I WANTED TO SAY THAT THIS MORNING BECAUSE SOMETIMES THOSE THAT DO HAVE A LOT CAN GET THINGS THAT OTHERS CAN'T BUT I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT WE GIVE OUT THE INFORMATION ABOUT THESE FREE TESTS AT VCS AND I'M TRYING TO GET MORE INFORMATION MYSELF BEING LIMITED TO ONLY ONE HOUR AT THE LIBRARY NOW.
I THINK THAT COMPLETES PUBLIC COMMENT.
[2. Extension of Local State of Emergency]
ANYTHING FURTHER FROM THE BOARD? >> MOVING ON TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER TWO. GOOD MORNING, MR. CHAIR.
COMMISSIONERS, BEFORE YOU, HAVE YOU PROFFERED A DRAFT EMERGENCY PROCLAMATION WHICH WOULD HAVE DEFECT OF EXTENDING THE LOCAL STATE EMERGENCY FOR A SEVEN-DAY PERIOD AS LIMITED BY STATE LAW.

[00:20:01]
EXTENSION YOU'RE GRANT ALL THE POWERS FOR THIS EMERGENCY TO THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR. ONCE AGAIN, THAT'S WHY THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR DESERVES TO BE MORE THAN A DEFACT TOE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR. IT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED TO ACCOMMODATE THE HIRING OF HUNTER CONRAD.COMMISSIONERS, ALSO, TOO, I GOT TO TELL YOU ON THIS EXTEND OF THE LOCAL STATE OF EMERGENCY I GOT TO TELL YOU I'M LOOKING FOR MORE INFORMATION THAT'S BEEN GIVEN.
