ABOUT THE TRAFFIC IN THESE AREAS, AND I CAN ASSURE EVERYONE IN THE COURT AS WELL THAT SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN IS OUR TOP PRIORITY. AND I WOULD JUST AS EVERYONE WHO TRAVELS TO THE SCHOOL ZONES, TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION AND SLOW DOWN, AND DO NOT CONFUSE SAFETY OVER CONVENIENCE.

SOMETIMES WE GET COMPLAINTS ABOUT A SAFETY ISSUE AND WE LOOK INTO IT AND IT IS REALLY NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT IS AN INCONVENIENCE. SOME PEOPLE ARE TWO OR 3 MINUTES ALONG IN THEIR DAY AND I UNDERSTAND IT.

WE ARE SEEING QUITE A BIT OF TESTING, HOWEVER THE COUNTY NUMBERS ARE DECREASING A LITTLE BIT FROM ABOUT A MONTH AGO WE ARE AROUND 1700 NEW CASES PER WEEK.

AYE. >> AYE.

>> THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY, NOW WE WILL MOVE INTO THE FIRST AGENDA ITEM IT IS THE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER ONE PRESENTATION OF THE NORTHEAST FLORIDA REGIONAL COUNCIL GOOD MORNING.

>> GOOD MORNING MR. CHAIRMAN COMMISSIONERS THANK YOU FOR ALLOW ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK BEFORE YOU TODAY.

I SERVE AS THE RESILIENCY COORDINATOR FOR NORTHEAST FLORIDA REGIONAL COUNCIL. THE FOCUS OF THE PRESENTATION IS TODAY IS ON THE NORTHEAST FLORIDA COVID-19 ECONOMIC RECOVERY PLAN. THAT WAS APPROVED IN MAY 2021.

ADDITIONALLY AT THIS PRESENTATION WILL ALSO ADDRESS SPECIFIC COMPONENTS OF THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT WHICH I KNOW YOU WILL BE DISCUSSING LATER ON TODAY.

AND AFTER THIS PRESENTATION, I WILL SEND YOU A DIRECT LINK TO THE RECOVERY PLAN SO THAT YOU CAN READ IT ON YOUR OWN TIME.

SO ON AN INTRODUCTORY NOTE, THE NORTHEAST FLORIDA REGIONAL COUNCIL IS ONE OF TEN REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCILS IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. NORTHEAST FLORIDA SOURCES SEVEN COUNTIES AND 25 MUNICIPALITIES. THEY ARE PROGRAMMED AREAS THAT HAVE A DIVERSE AREA OF DOMAINS. TWO EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS, HEALTHCARE PREPAREDNESS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND WHAT WE ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE ISSUE OF RESILIENCY.

I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE COMMISSIONER WHITEHURST AND COMMISSIONER WALDRON FOR YOUR CONTINUING SERVICE ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND FOR YOUR RECENT SERVICE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO TO START OFF THE PRESENTATION IT IS IMPORTANT TO ESTABLISH CONTACTS ABOUT THE TERM ECONOMIC RESILIENCE. SO IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA RESILIENCE HAS BEEN TRADITIONALLY UTILIZED TO ADDRESS ISSUES RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE, SEAL OVERRIDES AND COASTAL FLOODING. OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS HOWEVER, THE REGIONAL COUNCIL SHIFTED RESILIENCE TO ALSO ENCOMPASS ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS AND ISSUES.

SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, WITH ECONOMIC SHUTDOWNS IN ALL OF THE EFFECTS THAT WE HAVE SEEN OVER THE PAST

[00:15:02]

ONE OF THE FIRST PRODUCTS THAT WE PRODUCED DURING THIS TIME, WAS A SMALL BUSINESS RESOURCE GUIDE THAT ASSISTED SMALL BUSINESSES AND CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE IN IDENTIFYING ALL OF THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WERE OUT THERE.

THIS DOCUMENT WAS FORWARDED TO THE ST. JOHNS COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, AND WAS ALSO SHARED BY MUNICIPALITIES AND CITY OF SAINT AUGUSTINE ON THEIR WEBSITE.

THEN MOVING FURTHER INTO THE PANDEMIC, THE REGIONAL COUNCIL ALSO UTILIZED ECONOMIC FORECASTING SOFTWARE, TRADITIONALLY UTILIZED FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

TO TRACK IMPACTS CAUSED BY THE PANDEMIC ACROSS INDUSTRIES AND SECTORS. SO ABOUT A YEAR AGO THE REGIONAL COUNCIL GAVE A PRESENTATION TO THE COURT ABOUT ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF A FOUND IN THOSE PROJECTIONS. SO, GOING BACK ALL THE WAY A YEAR AGO IN AUGUST 2020, THE REGIONAL COUNCIL RECEIVED $400,000 IN FEDERAL FUNDING FROM THE CARES ACT AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. AND IN UTILIZING THIS FUNDING, WE ESTABLISHED THE NORTHEAST FLORIDA ECONOMIC RESILIENCE TASK FORCE. A POLICY BODY OF MORE THAN 20 LEADERS FROM ACROSS THE REGION TASKED WITH IDENTIFYING ACTUAL SOLUTIONS THAT CAN ASSIST LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN DETERMINING RECOVERY STRATEGIES AHEAD. SO IN TERMS OF ST. JOHNS COUNTY REPRESENTATION ON THE TASK FORCE, WE HAD COMMISSIONER ROXANNE CORVETTE FROM THE CITY OF AUGUSTINE.

SOMEONE FROM THE ST. JOHNS HOUSING PARTNERSHIP, AND MR. BOB PORTER FROM THE ST. JOHNS COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

THESE VOICES HAD A TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON THE PROCESS AS A WHOLE. AND WE ARE PLEASED WITH THE AMOUNT OF OUTCOMES THAT CAME FROM MEMBERS OF THE ST. JOHNS ST. JOHNS COUNTY. AND SO LOOKING AT THE OVERALL TIMELINE OF THE TASK FORCE, THE PROCESS REALLY STARTED WITH IDENTIFYING WHAT WAS THE CONTEXT? IN TERMS OF WHAT COMMUNITIES WERE EXPERIENCING ON THE GROUND? IN THE BEGINNING, REGIONAL COUNCILS THAT PRODUCED A 100 PAGE BRIEFING GUIDE TO ARTICULATE WHAT CONCERNS WERE ALREADY IN EXISTENCE. WITHIN THAT BRIEFING GUIDE, THERE ARE SPECIFIC SECTIONS THAT RELATE TO ST. JOHNS COUNTY AND OTHER COUNTIES AS WELL. THIS INCLUDES DATA AND DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION, BROADBAND ACCESS, AND OTHER PARAMETERS TO INFORM WHAT THE ISSUES WERE.

AND THEN IN MAY 2021, AFTER A SERIES OF PRIORITY AREA MEETINGS, THE TASK FORCE PUBLISHED A NORTHEAST FLORIDA COVID-19 ECONOMIC RECOVERY PLAN. THIS IS A SIX AND 40 PAGE DOCUMENT THAT DETAILS POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS, THAT WILL HAVE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO CONSIDER AS YOU APPROACH DISCUSSIONS RELATED TO THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT. SO VERY BRIEFLY, I WOULD TOUCH UPON SPECIFIC POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE BELIEVE ARE OF VALUE SHE ST. JOHNS COUNTY AND THE LOCAL CONCERNS THAT YOU ARE FACING. BEFORE GETTING THERE, WE WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT MORE THAN TWO DOZEN PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS AT THE LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL LEVEL WERE INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS. AND WE ALSO HAVE PICTURES HERE OF ALL OF THE TASK FORCE MEMBERS WHO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME TO BE A PART OF THE PROCESS. WE ARE CONTINUING TO ME TILL THIS DAY. SO IN SPRING 2021, THE TASK FORCE IDENTIFIED THREE CORE PRIORITY AREAS.

INFRASTRUCTURE, SUPPORT AND BELIEF SMALL BUSINESSES AND THE ISSUE OF EQUITY. SO AGAIN VERY BRIEFLY I WANT TO TOUCH ON A FEW OF THE POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS.

SO IN TERMS OF INFRASTRUCTURE, ONE OF THE CORE CHALLENGES THAT THE TASK FORCE IDENTIFIED ALL ACROSS NORTHEAST FLORIDA AND REALLY IN EVERY COUNTY WAS THE CHALLENGE OF HIGH-SPEED BROADBAND ACCESS. ESPECIALLY WITH REMOTE WORK STRUCTURES, STUDENTS LEARN FROM HOME DURING THE SHUTDOWN, ET CETERA. BROADBAND HAS BECOME A PRIORITY IN A CONCERT. IN ORDER TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THIS, WE LURKED AT CONTEXT FOR EACH POLICY AND THEN POTENTIAL OPTIONS. IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA THE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY RECENTLY LAUNCHED A BROADBAND INITIATIVE AIMED AT IDENTIFYING WHERE GAPS EXIST AND PUTTING FUNDING ON THE TABLE TO ADDRESS THOSE GAPS.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BIG CONCERNS THAT WAS IDENTIFIED BY THE TASK FORCE. THEN ADDITIONALLY THROUGHOUT THE DOCUMENT THERE IS HENCE AT RESILIENCY CHALLENGES IN TERMS OF INFRASTRUCTURE AS WELL. HEREIN ST. JOHNS COUNTY, COASTAL FLOODING, LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE OF SEA LEVEL RISE, THERE IS A LOT OF WATER CHALLENGE AND THERE ARE POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT IN ADDITIONAL FUNDING IS AT THE LEVEL TO ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES.

THEN MOVING FORWARD, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING COMPONENTS OF THE TASK FORCE, WAS SUPPORT AND BELIEF ARE SMALL BUSINESS. SO I ALSO GAVE THE SAME PRESENTATION TO THE ST. JOHNS COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL. AND ONE OF THE AREAS THAT STRUCK OUT TO THEM, WAS THE IDEA OF CROWD SOURCE FUNDING.

[00:20:04]

ADDITIONALLY WE ALSO HEARD PRESENTATION FROM THE JACKSONVILLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CENTER AT U AND F, AND OTHER BUSINESSES LOCATED IN JACKSONVILLE. THEY EXPRESSED A SERVICE THAT THEY PROVIDE ARE AVAILABLE TO OUR COUNTIES WITHIN THE SEVEN COUNTY REGION, SO WE RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS OPPORTUNITIES TO BOTH OF SOME OF THOSE SERVICES, BY CONNECTING STAKEHOLDERS AND ST. JOHNS COUNTY WITH SOME STAKEHOLDERS IN JACKSON TO SEE WHAT TYPES OF PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES CONTINUE TO FRUITION. THERE IS A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER THINGS IN HERE, BUT IT REALLY EMPHASIZES CONNECTING ACTORS ACROSS THE ECOSYSTEM TO BOLSTER OPPORTUNITIES AND PARTNERSHIPS.

THEN FINALLY, IN TERMS OF EQUITY, SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT WERE ADDRESSED WERE RELATED TO MENTAL HEALTH ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF THE IMPACTS WE HAVE SEEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY AT THIS TIME.

ONE OF THE REALLY HUGE OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE TASK FORCE AND RECENTLY, WAS THE ISSUE OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

SO AT THE LAST TASK FORCE MEETING THE FLORIDA HOUSING COALITION GAVE A VERY DETAILED PRESENTATION ON HOW THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT CAN BE UTILIZED TO ADDRESS AFFORDABLE HOUSING CHALLENGES IN A UNIQUE WAY. SO, I CAN PROVIDE THE PRESENTATION TO YOU AFTER TODAY, AND I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO CHECK OUT SOME OF THE COMPONENTS THERE.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO MENTION THAT ONE OF THE MOST DRIVING PARTNERS ON THE TASK FORCE, WAS A ST. JOHNS HOUSING PARTNERSHIP.

THEY HAVE BEEN A TREMENDOUS ASSET TO OUR ENTIRE BODY, AND THEY ARE REALLY DRIVING FORWARD A LOT OF THE SOLUTIONS ESPECIALLY RELATED TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

SO MOVING FORWARD INTO THE REMAINDER OF THE PRESENTATION, I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW RECENT OPPORTUNITIES THAT I KNOW YOU WILL BE DISCUSSING TODAY. SO, THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT IS A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY IN TERMS OF LOOKING AT FEDERAL INVESTMENT IN LOCAL COMMUNITY.

I KNOW ST. JOHNS, -- ST. JOHNS COUNTY IS RECEIVING A LOT OVER TIME. THERE IS A FANTASTIC RESEARCH THAT WAS PRODUCED BY THE COUNTY GOVERNMENTS AND THE LINK IS PROVIDED IN THIS PRESENTATION. SO LOOKING ALL ACROSS THE SEVEN COUNTY REGION, MORE THAN $500 MILLION IS COMING TO THE NORTHEAST CORRIDOR TO THE AERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT.

BECAUSE OF GUIDANCE AND ISSUE FOR THE AMERICAN RACIAL PLAN ACT, THERE ARE VERY BROAD OPPORTUNITIES TO ADDRESS LOCAL CONCERNS. SO BASED ON THE GUIDANCE THAT WAS PROVIDED, AND ISSUES RELATED TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE, SMALL BUSINESS SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE, AND INVESTING IN HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOODS, WATER AND SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THEN BROADBAND INFRASTRUCTURE WHICH IS TRADITIONALLY NOT BEEN A PART OF FEDERAL INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGES.

I KNOW THAT MR. CONRAD WILL BE ADDRESSING THIS LATER ON.

BUT ALSO JUST WANTED TO TOUCH ON HOW THIS ALL RELATES TO THE RECOVERY PLAN. IT WAS REALLY NICELY LINED WITH EVERYTHING THAT WAS IDENTIFIED BY THE TASK FORCE.

AND A FEW BRIEF NOTES, I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ENCOURAGE THE COMMISSION TO CHECK OUT THE WORK THAT IS HAPPENING IN NASSAU COUNTY. THE COUNTY MANAGER EXPLAINED IT THIS WAY. THE CARES ACT IS REALLY FOCUSED ON REAL-TIME ECONOMIC STABILIZATION DURING THE PANDEMIC. THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT ON THE OTHER HAND, MUST BE OBLIGATED BY 2024, AND SPENT BY 2026-2027. THIS COMPARED TO THE CARES ACT HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD LONG-TERM PROSPERITY AND RETURN ON INVESTMENT INTO THE FUTURE. THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SOLELY FOCUSED ON REAL-TIME RESULTS, IT IS REALLY LOOKING AT THE BIG PITCHER AND HOW THE COUNTY CAN'T REINVIGORATE SOME ISSUES OR CHALLENGES OVER THE NEXT DECADE.

FINALLY, THAT U.S. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OR MINISTRATION, THE AGENCY THAT FUNDED THIS INITIATIVE, ALSO ANNOUNCED RECENTLY $3,000,000,003,000,000,000 IN ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES RELATED TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, RESILIENCE AND OTHER DOMAINS. THESE PRIORITIES AND FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES ARE FOCUSED ON BUILDING INDUSTRIES, LOOKING AT TRAVEL TOURISM, AND OUTDOOR RECREATION AND OTHER AREAS.

SO, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THESE OPPORTUNITIES, THE REGIONAL COUNCIL CAN ASSIST WITH IDENTIFYING HOW TO TACKLE THEM.

WE HAVE A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LIAISON BASED OUT OF ATLANTA, WE CAN CONNECT YOU WITH TO TALK ABOUT ELIGIBLE PROJECT AREAS.

WHAT MIGHT BE IN STORE FOR ST. JOHNS COUNTY, SO ON THE CLOSING BELL. I WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE THIS, WE WOULD REALLY LIKE TO ENCOURAGE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ALL ACROSS NORTHEAST FLORIDA INCLUDING ST. JOHNS COUNTY IN SAINT AUGUSTINE, TO CONSIDER THE RECOVERY PLAN AS YOU ALL BEGIN TO HAVE THESE DISCUSSIONS. THERE IS A LOT OF USEFUL IDEAS AND HIT NOT EVENLY FROM THE NORTHEAST FLORIDA, BUT OTHER

[00:25:01]

WITH THAT BEING SAID IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

>> THANK YOU. WHY DO WE OPEN UP FOR PUBLIC

COMMENT. >> WE WILL NOW TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT ON I KNOW HIM THE COVID-19 RESILIENCY PLAN PUBLIC

COMMENT ON ITEM ONE. >> TOM REYNOLDS, COMMISSIONERS, I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU FIRST OF ALL, I'M INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTED WHEN I DID NOT SEE ANYBODY FROM SAINT AUGUSTINE BEACH THERE.

I MEAN, REALLY, IT REALLY IS A BLOW.

BECAUSE WHEN I SEE THE CITY REPRESENTATIVE THERE FROM THE CITY OF SAINT AUGUSTINE AND I KNOW HOW MANY PROBLEMS THAT THEY HAVE, I AM JUST AMAZED. THAT SOMEONE FROM SAINT AUGUSTINE BEACH THERE. I WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND ONE OF THE SMARTEST INDIVIDUALS I MET IN A LONG TIME, DALE AND RAHM RELL, I LIKE TO SEE THEM ON A COMMITTEE.

ANOTHER ONE FOR I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT WAS JUST HERE THE MOST OUTSTANDING RESIDENT IN SAINT AUGUSTINE BEACH, MARK BAILEY. WHAT A GREAT PERSON.

BUT, ANYWAYS COMMISSIONERS, I WAS ALSO DISAPPOINTED BROADBAND TALK. BROADBAND HAS BEEN STUDIED FOR YEARS. TO ME, THAT WAS WASTED ENERGY.

IT IS NICE TO KNOW THEY WANT TO DO THIS AND DO THAT.

BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS MUCH, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.

WHAT I HEARD THAT JENNA MESSIAH, IS TALK ABOUT WATER.

WE CAN'T DO ENOUGH OF WATER. I WANT YOU TO TAKE IT REAL HARD GO LOOK AT CALIFORNIA'S WATER PROBLEM.

IN 1979, 80, IN 81, I REMEMBER IT LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY.

SITTING IN PUBLIC MEETINGS WHEN THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT WATER.

THE ENTIRE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, I ONLY KNOW OF, ONE DESALINATION PLANT. DESALINATION 400 HOMES IN THE SAN DIEGO AREA. WE ARE GOING TO BE DESPERATE FOR WATER. SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE NORTHEAST FOLKS, AND PEOPLE STUDYING ANYTHING AGAIN FEDERAL MONEY, I SURE HOPE THAT YOU JUST FOCUS ON WATER.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION WOULD BE ANOTHER ONE I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE PEOPLE WORKING ON THAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THANK YOU. >> YES, SIR, BY THE WEIGHT PROBABLY IN MY OPINION THE MOST OUTSTANDING RESIDENT IN SAINT AUGUSTINE BEACH IS NOT MARK BAILEY IT'S MELODY DEAN THANK YOU. I LIKE MARK.

YES SIR NAME AND ADDRESS PLEASE SIR.

>> GOOD MORNING, MY NAME IS DAVID WILLIAMS, I LIVE AT 10460 TURPIN AVENUE IN HASTINGS, FLAGLER ESTATES.

I THINK IT IS TRULY UNCANNY, THAT TO DATE YOU ALL ACT UPON IN YOUR CONSENT AGENDA, THE BUILDING OF THE COMMUNITY CENTER. IN OLIVER PARK.

I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT ON THAT.

BUT AS CHAIRMAN OF THE FLAGLER ESTATES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE, I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY UNCANNY THAT A GENTLEMAN SHOWS APPEARANCE AS YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO LOOK DOWN THE LONG ROAD FOR THE LONG HAUL IF YOU POSSIBLY CAN.

YES, WE HAVE IMMEDIATE NEEDS NOW, IT TOOK ME TEN YEARS OF EFFORT TO BUILD A COMMUNITY CENTER AT FLAGLER ESTATES.

I HAVE GOT TO SAY I AM NOT SURE I HAVE TEN MORE YEARS.

I HOPE TO, WITH REGARDS TO THE EXTENSION OF THE 305.

FLAGLER ESTATES NEEDS A REAL ROAD.

THE COUNTY NEEDS SOME INFRASTRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE COUNTY. WHEN THIS CAME UP I THOUGHT I

[00:30:02]

BECAUSE FLAGLER ESTATES NEEDS A LOT OF REDEVELOPMENT.

WE DON'T HAVE HARDTOP ROADS ON OUR WHOLE AREA.

WE DON'T EVEN HAVE ROADS THAT HAVE MILLIONS ON THEM.

IF FLAGLER ESTATES IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO REDEVELOP THE WAY IT IS, BECAUSE WE ARE AT 186% COLLECTIONS ON TAXES RIGHT NOW.

YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND TAXES. YOU KNOW, WHEN THE MONEY STARTS CHANGING HANDS AND PEOPLE COME IN AND START PUTTING UP HOMES, AND THE SANDPIT IS NOW MAKING NOTHING BUT SAND AND NOT DOING ANYTHING ELSE, BECAUSE THEY ARE MAKING CONCRETE, THEN FLAGLER ESTATES IS GETTING REDEVELOP. BUT PEOPLE NEED ROADS IN ORDER TO GET TO JOBS. I HAVE DONE THIS FOR TEN YEARS, I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MANY TRIPS THAT IS, AND THAT'S 15 MINUTES EVERY TIME I MAKE THAT TRIP BACK AND FORTH TO TOWN.

IT'S ADDED TO MY DRIVE, IT IS THE SAME WITH SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IN THE COUNTY SCHOOLS AND EVERYTHING.

SO PLEASE, GIVE 305 EXTENSION YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT IN THE NORTHEAST FLORIDA TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU SIR.

YES, SIR COME FORWARD PLEASE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS PLEASE.

>> MY NAME IS DWIGHT MILLER I RESIDE 1107 MATERIALS DRIVE IN SAINT AUGUSTINE BEACH. I AM ALSO A MEMBER OF CARE COMMUNITY ADVOCATES FOR RACIAL EQUITY.

I CAME UP HERE FOR TWO THINGS, THIS SEEMED APPROPRIATE CONTEXT.

WE STOOD BEFORE YOU AT PREVIOUS MEETINGS MAKING BOTH REQUESTS AND EXPRESSING APPRECIATION SUCH THINGS IN THE MANNER OF HOW YOU AND YOUR STAFF RESPONDED TO THE EVICTION CRISIS.

THAT WERE LOOMING OVER SO MANY ST. JOHN'S RESIDENTS.

WE ALSO APPLAUD YOUR UNANIMOUS RESOLUTION DURING LAST MONTH'S BOARD MEETING DIRECTING YOUR STAFF TO PREPARE A WHITE PAPER TO ADDRESS ALL OF THESE THINGS AND ST. JOHN'S HOUSING'S POPULATION. WE ARE ALSO VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS TO ME IS UNEXPECTED FUNDING THAT IS AVAILABLE TO ST. JOHN'S COUNTY UNDER THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT OF 2021.

AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT, WE HAVE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS AS TO OBVIOUSLY DO OTHER PEOPLE, WHICH WILL BE SENT LATER IN TODAY'S MEETING. I WANTED TO MENTION, AS YOU KNOW, WE SENT AN E-MAIL ON FRIDAY.

REQUESTING PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT ON HOW TO USE THE FEDERAL FUNDS.

IT WAS INTENDED ONLY FOR YOU, BUT IT WAS MADE STATELY SHARED BY E-MAIL WITH A WIDER AUDIENCE. SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE BY ANY OF US I GUESS, BUT AN ACCURATE CLICK OF A MOUSE.

NEVERTHELESS, WE RECOGNIZED THE POTENTIAL SERIOUSNESS OF THIS, A TRULY SORRY ANY INCONVENIENCE CAUSED BY THIS MISTAKE ON OUR PART. AND IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU WANT US TO DO OR SOMETHING JUST LET US KNOW.

FINALLY, IN THE CONTEXT OF THE MANY NEEDS, I LIVE IN SAINT AUGUSTINE BEACH. I CERTAINLY RECOGNIZE WHAT HOURS ARE. IT IS ALWAYS INTERESTING WHEN YOU LOOK AT THESE THINGS AND THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THERE IS STUFF LIKE BROADBAND STYLE -- SOUNDS HOW IMPORTANT CAN THAT REALLY BE? IT IS ON THEIR THERE ARE PARTS OF THE COMMUNITY UNDERSERVED THAT ARE MOST EFFECTIVE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF THE EVICTION MORATORIUM FRANCIS.

ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT THEY'VE HAD IS QUALIFYING FOR SUPPORT IS THE LACK OF THE BROADBAND SERVICE.

SO IT IS KIND OF A LOT OF THINGS AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL BE AS QUITE AS EXPENSIVE AS SOME OTHER THINGS.

ALSO, THE OTHER THING I WILL MENTION REAL QUICKLY IS MY COLLEAGUE WHO WILL BE HERE UP. WE JUST ASKED THAT WHEN THE FIRST STEPS IN YOUR ALLOCATION PLAN FOR PLANNING FOR ANY OF THIS FUNDING, IS TO ASK THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW ABOUT THIS, THE STAKEHOLDERS WHO ARE WORKING IN THE COMMUNITY ALL OF THE TIME.

THEY KNOW WHAT THE PEOPLE NEED MOST.

I JUST ENCOURAGE HER TO GET THAT IN THERE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR

TIME. >> THANK YOU SIR.

FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM ONE? I THINK THAT COMPLETES PUBLIC COMMENT.

[00:35:01]

>> OKAY THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN PUBLIC COMMENT NOW CLOSE.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION OF SEAN FNA, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HELP ME HERE MAYBE JOE CAN, IF I DO NOT ASK IT NOW I WILL FORGET ABOUT IT. AND I WILL NEVER ASK IT.

I KNOW THAT IT IS PART OF THE I GUESS IT IS PART OF THE CARES ACT. BUT THERE ARE SEPARATE ACT, BASICALLY PUT A MORATORIUM ON THE COLLECTION OF RENTS MAYBE I'M STATING THAT WRONG. MAYBE AN EXEMPTION OF HAVING TO PAY RENT DURING CERTAIN TIME PERIODS.

I UNDERSTAND THAT MAY BE COMING TO AN END.

ONE THING I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT, IT WAS GOOD THAT THOSE INDIVIDUALS WERE ABLE TO NOT PAY RENT IF THEY WERE OUT OF MONEY AND NOT BE LEFT HOMELESS. BUT, WHAT ABOUT, I KNOW I HAVE HAD SEVERAL JUST RETIREES, NOT A BIG MISTAKE, AND THEY HAVE INVESTED IN A COUPLE OF DUPLEXES OR RENTAL UNITS.

BUT IF THEY ARE IN A POSITION TO RECOVER ANY LOST RENT MONEY, DOES THE NEW RESCUE ACT YOU MENTIONED GRANTS TO SMALL BUSINESSES OR INDIVIDUALS. I JUST WORRY ABOUT SOME OF THOSE FOLKS THAT HAVE RELIED ON THAT INCOME TO BASICALLY LIVE MONTH TO MONTH, THAT HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT TO MAKE MYSELF QUICK --

CLEAR? >> I HAVE ONE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION BUT NOT TO ALL THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE OUT THERE. THE CENTER OF DISEASE CONTROL EXTENDED A NARROWER EVICTION MORATORIUM FOR OCTOBER AT THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST. THEN THE SUPREME COURT FOUND THAT UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND FLOOD SHUT THAT DOWN, SO THAT IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT AS OF LAST WEEK AUGUST 26.

SO THE MORATORIUM THAT WAS EXTENDED, IS OFF OF THE BOOKS NOW. AND PART OF THE PUSH FOR WHY THE CDC PUSH THAT OUT, WAS THAT A LOT OF THE MONEY THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WAS ADDED ADVOCATING TO LOCAL STATE AND GOVERNMENTS, WAS NOT GETTING INTO THE HANDS OF LANDLORDS.

OR THE TENANTS TO PROVIDE WITHOUT ASSISTANCE.

SO THEY WERE TRYING TO, AND NO FIGURE OUT HOW THEY CAN WORK AROUND IT. I BELIEVE WITHIN THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT THERE ARE MOST LIKELY OPPORTUNITIES TO PROVIDE

[Items 2 & 3]

>> THANK YOU. YEAH, NO PROBLEM.

>> OKAY THANK YOU SIR. ALL RIGHT WE WILL GO TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER TWO. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ON STONECREST WE WILL HEAR THAT ON AGENDA NUMBER THREE.

THIS IS BECAUSE A JUDICIAL ACCORDING TO OUR QUASI JUDICIAL DISCLOSURES. WE WILL START WITH YOU SIR.

>> I HAVE NOTHING TO CLASS HER. >> COMMISSIONER DEAN?

>> I HAD A BRIEF CONVERSATION THURSDAY AFTERNOON AT 130 TALKING ABOUT ANY ISSUES INVOLVING SITE PLAN IMPACTS ET

CETERA. >> THANK YOU COMMISSIONER.

>> NOT MR. CHAIRMAN. >> #CHANDA.

>> I HAVE NONE AS WELL,. >> , GOOD MORNING, FOR THE RECORD DOUG BURNETT APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE TODAY I'M HERE BEHALF OF KATIE HOME, PAUL MICHAEL WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT SO HE SENDS HIS REGARDS HE'S THE BIG CHEESE REPRESENTING KATIE HOLMES. WHO WAS ALWAYS AT THESE MEETINGS ACTUALLY. ALSO AT THE MEETING IS TRAVIS SWANSON TRAVIS JUST GRADUATED FROM LAW SCHOOL AND JUST RECENTLY TOOK THE BAR AND HOPING FOR GOOD RESULTS AT THE END OF MONTH. SO ANYWAYS WITH THAT, WE'LL GET ONTO THE PROJECT. GIVING A LITTLE BIT OF LOCATION, WHERE IT'S AT IN THE COUNTY NORTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY.

SORT OF NORTH MIDDLE PART OF THE COUNTY.

OFF OF RACETRACK ROAD AND BETWEEN U.S. ONE AND I-95.

A CLOSER LOOK AND WILL RESUME IN ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.

YOU CAN SEE THAT WRAPS AROUND IT.

THIS IS THE LARGEST INTENSIVE COMMERCIAL AREA IN OUR COUNTY FOR A PARCEL DESIGNATED FOR THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.

THERE IS ABOUT 69% I BELIEVE THE COUNTY'S TOTAL INTENSIVE COMMERCIAL. YOU CAN SEE THE SITE WHERE IT IS LOCATED. IT IS RIGHT NEXT TO DURBIN NATIONAL AND ALSO NEXT TO THE OLD DOG TRACK YOU.

TAKE A CLOSER LOOK YOU WILL SEE THE YELLOW AND BLACK DOTTED LINE, THAT IS THE DURBIN NATIONAL PROPERTY IN ITS SERVICE

[00:40:01]

OF CB AT THIS LOCATION THIS COUNTY HAS WENT TO SEE DEVELOPMENT FOR MANY YEARS. JUST A BIGGER VIEW OF DURBIN NATIONAL PROJECT IN GENERAL. WHICH IS NEXT-DOOR.

YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE IS SOME 2200 MULTIFAMILY UNITS ASIDE FROM ALL THE COMMUNITY OFFICES. AND ALSO THE COMMUNITY UNITS THAT WILL COME OF THE PROJECT. SO LOOKING AT OUR PROJECT, YOU CAN SEE THE EMPTY MAP UP HERE. 147 PLOTS.

ROUGHLY 46 ACRES. 16 ACRES OF OPEN SPACE AND 11 ACRES PRESERVED. I WILL HIGHLIGHT K BE HOME ONE MORE TIME. IF YOU KNOW THE PROJECT CARE OFF OFF ROAD RUSSELL SAMPSON WITH THE ROUNDABOUT IS.

THERE'S A MONTH NUMBER OF SPECIMEN TREES ON THAT SITE, IS A REAL ATTEST TO WHAT THEY CAN DO.

IT IS AN INCREDIBLE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEY KEPT THE SPECIMEN TREES. THIS PROJECT IS SIMILAR TO WHERE THERE ARE SO FEW SPECIMEN TREES. AND THEY WORKED THE SITE AROUND THEM TO KEEP THEM IN WORK AND RECREATION AREAS BEHIND THE SPECIMEN TREES. TAKING THAT MAP AND LAYING IT INTO THE AREA YOU GET A GOOD LOOK AS TO HOW THE SITE FITS AWAY WITH WHAT'S AROUND IT. OF COURSE TO THE NORTH OF IT IS A LOT OF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT GOING ON RIGHT NOW.

THAT ARE BEING BUILT TO EXPAND THAT COMMERCIAL THAT HAS BEEN THERE TO THE NORTHWEST. ALSO THERE IS THE SYNTAX PROJECT, A REAL GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH MULTIFAMILY AND SINGLE-FAMILY. IF YOU LOOK IN THIS ONE AREA, THERE ARE SINGLE-FAMILY HOME PLOTS.

TOWNHOMES ON THE LEFT AND CONDOS ON THE RIGHT.

I'LL GO THROUGH THIS QUICKLY, WE DO HAVE ALL OF OUR ACADEMIC STUDY OR MARKET STUDY IN OUR FISCAL IMPACT ANALYSIS.

LOOKING AT THE COMP AMENDMENT WHEN YOU GET A COMP AMENDMENT, IS WHEN YOU HAVE ANY ONE OF THESE BOXES AND CHECKED I BELIEVE WE CHECKED ALL THESE BOXES IN THE PROJECT.

PUBLIC SERVICES I WILL RUN THROUGH THESE AGAIN SINCE A COMP PLAN AMENDMENT. THE JE A CONFIRMED WATER AND SEWER AVAILABLE. TRAFFIC DIRECTLY ACCESS LINK HAS CAPACITY. HERE IN THIS AREA IT WILL BE COMING BACK WITH MORE OF THE SHARE AGREEMENT ON TRAFFIC.

ANYWAYS, SO THERE WOULD BE A PORTION OF THE FAIR SHARE AGREEMENT FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT. SCHOOL CONCURRENCY, WE ACTUALLY HAVE A LETTER FROM THE SCHOOL THAT SAYS THERE IS CAPACITY.

DR. MCCORMICK ON PCA THE SCHOOL BOARD REPRESENTATIVE RECOMMENDED THIS FOR APPROVAL. THERE IS NOTE SPECIES, WILDLIFE, OR PLANTS OBSERVED FOR DANGER. ONE THING THAT WE DID GET BACK SO OFTEN THE COMPLIMENTS GET TRUMPETED AND WE DON'T HEAR ANYTHING. THIS WHEN THEY CAME BACK AND SAID YOU KNOW WHAT THERE IS BLACK BEARS WITHIN 5 MILES OF THE SITE. AND SO WE WANT BEST PRACTICES IF YOU WOULD TO PUT THOSE THERE. SO THEY HAVE AGREED IN THE TEXT THIS IS IN YOUR PACKET. WE PUT THE LANGUAGE IN THERE AS HOW THEY WANTED IT. TO CONTROL THE TRASH OUT TONIGHT AND THINGS. HERITAGE SERVICES CONFIRMED THAT THERE IS NO ENVIRONMENTAL EAGLES NEST IN THE AREA.

THERE ARE FIRE HYDRANTS WITHIN . NOW THERE ARE ACTUALLY TWO STATIONS WITH THAT AROUND 5 MILES SINCE WE ORIGINALLY STARTED THE PROJECT. TRANSMITTAL HEARINGS, PLANNING AND ZONING, WAS A MOTION THAT WAS 7-02 APPROVED TRANSMITTAL.

COMMISSIONER WHITEHURST? >> MR. CHAIRMAN ON AUGUST THE 30TH, I HAD A PHONE CALL AT 5:04 P.M. TO DISCUSS THE COMMUNITY CONCERNS OF THE COMPATIBILITY OF THIS PROJECT TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. THEN ON TUESDAY AUGUST 31, AT 11:00 A.M. I MET WITH TOM INGRAM TO DISCUSS THE DETAILS OF THE PROJECT. AGAIN, WE WILL DISCUSS THOSE

COMMUNITY CONCERNS. >> THANK YOU COMMISSIONER WHITEHURST. COMMISSIONER WALDRON?

>> ON I MET WITH BETTE BRADY AND TOM INGRAM TO DISCUSS THE PROJECT. WE TALKED ABOUT 22:09 P.M. BILL, IN IMPROVMENTS IN THE AREA OF TRANSPORTATION, AND THE PARK.

ACCESS AND THE PORTION OF FAIR SHARE AGREEMENT.

>> THANK YOU SIR. >> COMMISSIONER DEAN?

>> YES ALSO ON THURSDAY DECEMBEY DISCUSS THE SAME ISSUES THAT IS

ON THE RECORD. >> THANK YOU SIR.

COMMISSIONER SMITH? >> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN ON SEPTEMBER 2, 1130 I MET WITH THEM ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM TO DISCUSS HIS LOCATION IN THE PAST HISTORY AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO THIS PROPERTY.

WE TALKED ABOUT THEM AGREEING TO ADHERE TO THE MIRABELLA CONSTRUCTION DESIGN STANDARD. ALSO TO DISCUSS SHARED ENTRANCE WITH THE VILLAGE OF WEST PARK THAT WOULD BE TO THE EAST.

WE DISCUSSED GREEN STANDARDS, LANDSCAPING, AND ALSO DISCUSSED GROWTH FROM THE AREA. THEY ALSO HAD A LETTER FROM THE ST. JOHN COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD FOR 282 UNITS, DISCUSS THE WAIVERS IN REGARD TO GUEST PARKING. AND ALSO THE AVERAGE BUFFERING ALONG THE PARK BOUNDARY. I THINK THAT WILL CONCLUDE MY

DISCLOSURE MR. CHAIRMAN. >> THANK YOU SIR.

>> I HAD THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 2 AT 11:00 A.M. WITH BETTE BRADY, TOM INGRAM, TO DISCUSS THE PROJECT. AS WELL AS THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT AND SOME OF THE CHALLENGES COMING UP WITH THE

CELL MR. INGRAM GO AHEAD. >> GOOD MORNING THANK YOU COMMISSIONERS I AM TOM INGRAM 233 EAST BAY STREET JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA. AND THIS IS PALM LIKES THE MARKETPLACE PROJECT, THIS IS A 33-ACRE PORTION OF THE PAR LAKES PUD AND I'LL MAKE COMMENTS FOCUSED ON THIS 33-ACRE SITE ONLY NOT ON THE REST OF PROJECT. SO THIS IS A GENERAL LOCATION STATE ROAD 16, IT IS BETWEEN INTERNATIONAL GOLF PARKWAY AND THE INTERCHANGE OF I-95. IT IS JUST EAST OF THE MIRABELLA PROJECT. THIS IS A VERSION OF THE SITE, THE SITE HAS MOST RECENTLY BEEN USED AS ASSAD FARM, AT THIS POINT IS UNDEVELOPED. SO THERE IS TWO APPLICATIONS FOR YOU TODAY ONE IS SMALL-SCALE AMENDMENT TO AMEND THE DESIGNATION OF 9.93 ACRES OF THE SITE FROM RESIDENIAL BE TO MIX USE. SO IN THE MIXED-USE AREA TO ALMOST AN ENTIRE SITE TO 29.733. THERE ARE A FEW MODIFICATIONS, THE MODERN PRIMARY ONE IS WE ARE ALLOWING FOR MULTIFAMILY DWELLINGS. CURRENTLY IT IS APPROVED FOR 300 30,000 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL USE.

THIS WILL BE TO ALLOW DEVELOPMENT OF MULTIFAMILY IN ADDITION TO THE COMMERCIAL USES TO ALLOW FLEXIBILITY IN ADDITION WE CLARIFY THE SPECIAL CARE HOUSING AND INDEPENDENT LIVING.

SOME TYPE OF USE WHERET IS NOT INCLUDE MEDICAL CARE.

SO IT IS SIMPLY TO DO THINGS LIKE OFFER MEAL PLANS SO PEOPLE

[01:00:01]

IN ADDITION WE ARE SEEKING A WAIVER TO ALLOW FOR A MINIMUM 2T BOUNDARY SO IT WILL STILL BE AN AVERAGE OF 35 FEET.

AND THAT'S PROVIDED FOR THE CODE IS AN OPTION.

THAT DOES REQUIRE WAIVERS. WE EARLIER HAD REQUESTED WAIVER FOR GUEST PARKING ASSOCIATED WITH THE MULTI FAMILY THAT WE DROPPED THAT REQUEST. SO THE STANDARD GUEST PARKING THAT APPLY WHICH IS ONE GUEST PARKING SPACE PER DWELLING UNIT.

THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO POINT OUT IS THAT WE DID SOME REVISED MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN TEXT ON SEPTEMBER 3 TO MAKE TWO CHANGES ONE WAS TO DROP THE WAIVER FOR GUEST PARKING, THE OTHER IS TO ADD IN A REQUIREMENT THAT WE ABIDE BY THE MIRABELLA COMMERCIAL DESIGN STANDARDS. WHICH THOSE DESIGN STANDARDS IN GENERAL, FIRST OF ALL THOSE APPLIED TO COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT IS IN THE MIRABELLA CENTER.

SO IF YOU'RE SEEN PUBLIC IN THE SHOPPING CENTER AREA.

THOSE BUILDINGS ARE DESIGNED TO THE MIRABELLA STAGER.

IN THIS CASE WHAT WE HAVE PROPOSED TO DO TO ADD THE MIRABELLA DESIGN STANDARD TO THE EXHIBIT IT TO THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR OR THE DESIGNEE WOULD BE IN CHARGE OF REVIEWING ARCHITECTURE TO MAKE SURE THE LOOK AND FEEL IS CONSISTENT WITH THE GUIDELINE. THE MIRABELLA DESIGN GUIDELINE IN GENERAL REQUIRE BASIC MEDITERRANEAN ELEMENTS.

SO, EARTH TONES IF YOU HAVE A FLAT ROOF WALLS ARE REQUIRED TO SHIELD THINGS LIKE HVAC EQUIPMENT.

AS WRITTEN THESE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS WOULD APPLY TO ALL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE 33 ACRES NOT JUST MULTIFAMILY.

ONE OTHER SMALL THING, WHICH IS WE ADDED A PROHIBITION ON ANY BAIT OR COMMERCIAL ABATEMENT FACING STATE ROAD 16.

THAT WAS ALSO ADDED IN THE FINAL ALLITERATION.

SO HERE IS A CURRENT AND PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE MAP.

AS PRESENTLY TO ITS STATE ROAD 16 THIS ALLOWS FOR THE MULTIFAMILY SPACE. MAKES YOU SPACE IT ALLOWS 13 UNITS PER DEVELOPABLE ACRE AND MUCH LESS THAN THAT.

ZONING MAPS EVERYTHING IS PUD NOW RIGHT? THE TURNBOW PARK IS TO THE EAST OF THE SITE.

THIS IS THE OVERALL PAGE ONE OF THE MDP MAP SHOWING THE OVERALL PALM LAKES PUD. PARTIAL IS UP ON THE THIRD RIGHT AND THIS IS THE MDP MAP IT DOES ALLOW FLEXIBILITY AS TO HOW THE USES ARE LAID OUT WE ANTICIPATE THAT IS LIKELY THE RETAIL WILL BE A LONG STATE ROAD 16 BUT THERE IS FLEXIBILITY TO ALLOW DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS. SO THAT'S JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THE SITE. THERE'S NO WETLANDS ON THE SITE.

IT IS NOT ANY FLOOD ZONE, HERE IS THE SITE AS IT RELATES TO THE FUTURE 22009 IT RUNS ALONG THE WEST BOUNDARY AND IT GOES UP TO WORLD COMMERCE CENTER. THERE IS A LOT GOING ON IN THIS AREA, WE HAVE GREENWAYS MARKET COMING IN TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE SITE. WE ALSO HAVE COSTCO COMING IN, THIS PERMITTING IN ORDER FOR THE PROJECT WHICH IS A MULTIFAMILY PROJECT THERE. AS YOU KNOW TO AVOID WHICH IS OPEN. WORLD COMMERCE CENTER IS TO THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST OF US, IT ALLOWS FOR 9002000000 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE SPACE. THIS IS A RELATIVELY CENTRAL MIXED-USE OF THE COUNTY. JUST TO SHOW THE RELATIONSHIP OF THIS PROJECT 22209 IT IS A KEY PART OF IT.

OTHER THINGS GOING ON IN THE CORRIDOR, GREAT OAKS OF THE SOUTHEAST, LINWOOD RANCH ELEVATION POINT, IS DOWN 16 WHICH WILL RECONFIGURE 208. IT ALSO HAS MULTIFAMILY AND TOWHOME COMPONENTS. IN THE VILLAGE'S PARK WEST THAT IS COMING SOON. SO HERE IS SOME OF THE ENTITLEMENTS IN THE AREA. SINGLE-FAMILY AND MULTIFAMILY ARE PART OF THAT AREA. IN TERMS OF COMPATIBILITY AND BUFFERING COUNTY ROAD 29 IS 275 FEET AND IS IN THE 17 AND HALF FEET TO THE WEST OF THAT. IT IS A BUFFER THAT IS PART OF

[01:05:02]

WE WILL MEET OR EXCEED THE COUNTY SCREENING REQUIREMENT.

THESE ARE THE ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES REFERRED TO EARLIER, IT DOES ALLOW FLEXIBILITY, WITHIN A PALLET.

SO WITHIN MEDITERRANEAN-STYLE. SO AGAIN THIS IS A SUMMARY THIS MAP IS INTENDED TO SHOW THE AREA WITH A BE A SHARED INTEREST WITH THIS PROJECT AND THE VILLAGE'S PARK WEST.

WHICH IS A SEPARATE ITEM THAT WILL COME BEFORE YOU AT THE NEXT MEETING. THERE IS A PROPOSED COST SHARING WITH THE COUNTY ON THAT. THIS MAP SHOWS AN OVERLAY OF THE PARK DESIGND FOR VILLAGES PARK WEST WITH A SHARED ENTRANCE.

SO WITH THAT I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. WE WILL HAVE A PROPORTIONATE SHARE AGREEMENT AT A LATER MEETING.

>> OKAY THANK YOU MR. INGRAM ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR THE BOARD? OKAY WHEN WE OPEN UP PUBLIC

COMMENT ON AGENDA NINE AND TEN. >> WE NOW HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEMS NINE AND TEN YES OR NAME AND ADDRESS PLEASE SIR?

>> CHUCK LEBEN ASCII 1748 NORTH APPAREL IN ARABELLA.

JUST ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE AS FAR AS MIRABELLA IS CONCERNED IS THE DRAINAGE. WE HAVE 22 NINTHS WHICH IS GOING AND THAT WAS A LOT OF ASPHALT AND RETENTION PONDS.

WE HAVE A DRAINAGE ISSUE NOW IN THIS AREA.

THROUGH HERE, SO THE RETENTION POND IS GOING TO BE HERE, FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND THEN WE GOT 2209 THE COMES IN HERE.

CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW THIS AREA HERE, AND HEAVY RAIN THE BACKYARD GOES ON TO WATER. SO WE WILL BE CONCENTRATED WATER INTO ONE LOCATION, WITH 2209 PLUS THE DEVELOPMENT WERE CONCERNED. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT CLEARING OUT THAT DRAINAGE QUER? IT GOES ALL THE WAY THROUGH HERE AND THEN COMES IN AND THEN GOES ACROSS THE SETTING. THIS IS A PRESERVE AREA HERE FOR MIRABELLA. SO ALL OF THAT WATER IS GOING HERE, AND WILL HAVE NOWHERE TO GO OTHER THAN THERE RIGHT NOW.

RIGHT NOW IT IS BACKING UP AND IT DOES FLOOD THE HOMES IN THAT

AREA. >> THANK YOU.

>> PUBLIC COMMENT, FOR THE COMMENT? SEEING ON WILL GIVE BACK TO THE BOARD.

>> PUBLIC, IS NOW CONCLUDED, CAN WE HAVE YOU COME AND ADDRESS

THAT. >> BETH BREEDING, SEVERAL FIELD DEVELOPMENT. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW WITH CHUCK MY ENGINEER WE MET LAST NIGHT AND WE ARE LOOKING INTO THAT EVEN THOUGH I DO KNOW THAT OUR STORMWATER DOES PUMP OFF TO THE DITCH. FOR THE COUNTY PARK SO WE SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON THAT. BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN PART OF MIRABELLA SINCE DAY ONE, WE WERE COMPLIANT THE LAST MEETING AND WE DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE YOU HIGH AND DRY WE ARE LOOKING INTO IT. THE AREA HE TALKS ABOUT IS VERY LARGE IS AS WETLANDS. SO WE ARE LOOKING INTO THE PERMITTING PROCESS AND TRYING TO FOLLOW UP TO GIVE ANY GUIDANCE THAT WE CAN. OBVIOUSLY I DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THAT AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THOSE ISSUES THAT THEY ARE HAVING THE BEST THAT WE CAN.

>> QUICK QUESTION HOW EXTENSIVE WILL THAT BE? YOU MENTION PERMITTING WHAT WE LOOKING AT?

>> WELL WHAT WE DO IS LOOK AT PERMITS FROM THE ORIGINAL PROJECT, WITH WATER MANAGEMENT, AND THEN WE SEE IF THERE IS ANY COMPLIANCE. THE ONE THING THE ENGINEER DID MENTION IT APPEARS MAY BE SOME PEOPLE FILLED IN AN AREA THAT THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE, SO WE WILL CONFIRM EXACTLY WHERE THE LINE IS AND IF THAT IS TAKING PLACE AND WILL CORRECT FACTORS THAT

NEED TO BE TAKEN. >> THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THE BOARD? >> I DID HAVE ONE, MR. INGRAM, THE AGREEMENT THAT WAS UNDER CONSENT AND JIM AT NUMBER 20 WHAT IS CHANGING ON THAT? WHY WAS A PULLED.

[01:10:08]

>> SURE I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER I THINK THERE ARE JUST SOME FINAL

ISSUES TO BE WORKED OUT. >> AS YOU KNOW THE PROPORTIONATE PER-SHARE IS SOMETHING THAT IS NEGOTIATING.

SHARED ACCESS YES SO WE ALL KNEW WHAT THE NUMBERS WERE AND MISTAKENLY ERRONEOUS NUMBER WAS PUT IN.

AND WE CAUGHT BEFORE THEY CAME. THE PARTIES KNOW AND ONE MAKE SURE THAT IS CORRECT. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IS CORRECT WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT NUMBER WAS IT WOULD JUST PUT IN

DIFFERENTLY. >> I JUST HAD A FOLLOW-UP

QUESTION. >> YES OR GOOD MORNING.

THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS TO DISCUSS 2209 I KNOW IT HAS BEEN ABOUT THREE WEEKS TO HAVE WE HAD ANY CHANCE TO LOOK AT GETTING THAT STARTED IN THAT AREA? TRYING TO WORK ON THAT ON THE

NATIONAL PARKWAY. >> 2209?

>> YES. >> YES WE ARE WORKING ON THAT I SPOKE WITH DOT THEY'RE GOING TO PROVIDE A PRELIMINARY DESIGN SO THEY WILL HAVE A BETTER QUANTITY TO COME UP WITH A PROBABLE CAUSE FOR THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT THE SEGMENT BETWEEN IG P AND 16.

SO WE LOOK INTO THAT, THE REMAINING ISSUE THAT WE HAVE IS THE POND IN SIGHT. SO WE ARE WORKING DILIGENTLY TO TRY AND TO LOCATE A PAWN SITE WE ARE ALSO GOING TO REACH OUT TO DUKE STEINER MEN, WHO IS THE DEVELOPER FOR THAT AREA.

THE WORK COMMERCE CENTER IS ALSO COMMITTED PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ORDER, TO FOUR LANES THE SEGMENT OF 16 WHICH IS THE SAME SEGMENT THAT THE COUNTY IS WORKING ON, AND ALSO GRAND OAKS IS ALSO COMMITTED TO DO THAT.

>> OKAY SO 2209 IS KEY FOR ME ON ANYTHING ON THAT AREA I'M GLAD WE ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US GET IT

ACCOMPLISHED. >> YES, SIR, YES THE ORIGINAL PLAN FOR ITP AND 16 INTO SECTION IMPROVEMENT.

WE ARE LOOKING INTO THAT, BECAUSE THE COST IS EXCEEDING 6 MILLION JUST TO DO THAT. SO WE HAVE OTHER IMPACT FOR THE DOLLARS AS WELL IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD ON THAT CONNECTION VIA GP ON 16 ON 2209. SO WE ARE LOOKING TO SHIFT OUR PRIORITY AND NARROW OUR SCOPE ON THE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT THAT IS SUBSTANTIALLY DOWN. WITH THE OUTCOME IS TO UTILIZE THE PAYMENT OF THE WEST SIDE OF 16, AND THAT WILL OPTIMIZE THE SECTION OF I GP AND, AND THE REMAINING DOLLARS WE ARE LOOKING TO PUT THAT I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT.

>> OCASIO. >> OKAY NOW WE GIVE TO

COMMISSIONER SMITH. >> THANK YOU COMMISSIONER, JUST TO PIGGYBACK ON WHAT COMMISSIONER WALTER HAD -- COMMISSIONER WALDRON HAD ASKED, YOU NEED A POND SITE NORTH OF 16 SOUTH OF IDP ON THAT WORLD COMMERCE AREA, WAS THERE NOT ANY SECURITY WITH THE ORIGINAL OUTLINE AND OUTLAY OF 2209?

>> ORIGINALLY IT WAS COMMITTED BY WORK COMMERCE CENTER.

BUT THEY ONLY AND THE REQUIREMENT IS THAT THEY PROVIDE US THE RIGHT OF WAY. BUT NOT THE POND SITE.

SO WHAT THEY PROVIDED TO US AND DONATED TO US IS RIGHT OF WAY.

FOR THAT CONNECTION. BUT, NEVER SECURED A PAWN SITE.

>> OKAY, THAT WOULD BE NEEDFUL, WHICH IS BETWEEN IDP OLD NINE

MILE AND 16? >> YES, WE HAVE AND OTHER POND SITE JUST NORTH OF THE HIGH SCHOOL.

BUT IT IS A LITTLE BIT FURTHER TO CONVEY.

[01:16:44]

AMENDED TO REFLECT THAT. >> MR. MCCORMICK, I THINK THE ISSUE THAT I HAD WAS THE PARAGRAPH THAT SAID THAT THE ARCHITECTURAL BUILDING DESIGN MATERIAL SHOULD BE A COMPLIMENT AND THAT SORT OF SEEM TOO VAGUE FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROJECT SO WHAT LEGAL I THINK YOU ARE SUGGESTING IS THAT WE UPGRADE THAT TO BE A MEDITERRANEAN-STYLE CONSISTENT WITH THAT IS SEEN MORE SPECIFIC THAN WHAT IT ALREADY IS THERE.

I GUESS I AM JUST ASKING, MAYBE NOT IN THE MOST ARTFUL WAY, IS THE MIRABELLA DESIGN STANDARD MORE SPECIFIC THAN THE LANGUAGE THAT THEY PROPOSE WHICH IS MEDITERRANEAN-STYLE?

>> WOULD BE HELPFUL IF I READ INTO THE RECORD THE LANGUAGE.

PLEASE. >> THE ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES IS ATTACHMENT ONE TO THIS MPP TAX, THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR OR HIS DESIGNEE SHALL SERVE IN THE ROLE OF THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD REFERENCING THESE GUIDELINES TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE BUILDING OR STRUCTURE AROUND THE COLOR CHANGE OR RENOVATION THERETO IS CONSISTENT WITH THESE GUIDELINES BASED UPON SUBMITTAL IN COLOR PALETTES AND OTHER INFORMATION HE DEEMS REASONABLY NECESSARY TO EVALUATE THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.

>> I TRY TO BE VERY CLEAR, SO EVERYONE BOTH THE COUNTY AND ANYONE BUYING INTO THE PROJECT UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS IS THE

COMMITMENT IS BEING MADE. >> JUST SO I'M BEING CRYSTAL CLEAR, WE SAW A RENDERING AT THE MEETING, AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET IF NOT EXACTLY THAT AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE ON THAT.

SO THERE IS SOME ACCOUNTABILITY FROM THE COUNTING SOUND.

SO THAT WE HAVE RECOURSE SO THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> I HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING LIKEWISE THE QUESTION REMOVE THE WAIVER FROM THE PARKING AS WELL? IS THAT ACCURATE? AND THAT WAS NEWS TO ME COMING INTO THE DAY SO I DON'T KNOW IF I MISS SOMETHING? OR WHATEVER FROM THIS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND CLARITY IN REGARD TO IN REGARDS TO DESIGN STANDARD AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

>> IN THE MEETING WITH COMMISSIONS RECEIVED FEEDBACK THEY EXPRESS CONCERNED ABOUT IT. WE LOOK TO GET AND SEE HOW IMPORTANT SO WE HAVE DECIDED TO REMOVE THE REQUEST AND WAIVER ON

THEM. >> ALRIGHT VERY GOOD.

>> MR. CHAIRMAN I WILL MOVE THIS FORWARD, I WILL TELL YOU THAT I NORMALLY I WOULDN'T, TO THIS BEING SO DENSE AND I WOULD CONSIDER IT TO BE A COMPATIBILITY ISSUE BUT, THERE IS 2209, THIS IS A GROWING AREA. THE DENSITY IS INCREASING.

AS LONG AS 2209 COMMISSIONER WALT TRIP IS ALREADY MENTIONED

[01:20:04]

AND THAT PUTTING IT FURTHER TO THE NORTH IS VERY CRITICAL TO THIS BEING SUCCESSFUL. WITH THAT IN MIND, I DO NOT MIND MOVING FORWARD. AND I WILL BE GLAD TO DO SO IF

THAT'S YOUR DESIRE. >> PLEASE WE WILL DO NINE AND

TEN SEPARATELY. >> MOTION TO ENACT ORDINANCE 2021 -- 61 APPROVING CPA SS 200S MARKETPLACE.

OKAY WILL MOVE BACK TO AGENDA AND ITEM NUMBER EIGHT ARE YOU READY? OKAY AS YOU ARE COMING UP WE WILL DO OUR DISCLOSURES HERE. LET'S CHANGE THE ORDER UP COMMISSIONER SMITH COMES OUT WITH YOU.

>> I HAVE NO DISCLOSED. >> COMMISSIONER DEAN?

>> NONE. >> COMMISSIONER WALDRON.

>> NONE. >> COMMISSIONER WHITEHURST NONE.

[8. Public Hearing * REZ 2021-18 Gaines Road Rezoning.]

>> I HAVE NONE AS WELL. >> GOOD MORNING AND I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT BEING HERE ON TIME, I DID NOT REALIZE YOU MOVE QUITE THAT QUICKLY. SO ANYWAY, I AM KAREN TAYLOR, 77 SARAGOSSA STREET. WILLIAM YOUNG WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WITH ME BUT HE OBVIOUSLY IS NOT HERE, I DON'T KNOW IF HE GOT CAUGHT UP IN TRAFFIC OR SOMETHING HAPPEN.

ANYWAY, WE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH IT.

THIS IS THE GAINES ROAD REZONING AND THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE FROM OPEN WORLD TO RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY.

JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, THIS IS ON THE WEST SIDE OF GAINES ROAD, GAINES ROAD IS OFF WOODLAWN ROAD.

IT IS NORTH OF THE THERE IS THE TRAINING CENTER IN THIS AREA THERE IS THAT FIRE ADMINISTRATION IN THIS AREA.

THIS IS A A LOT ALONG GAINES ROAD.

GET IN A LITTLE BIT CLOSER YOU CAN SEE THAT AND YOU CAN SEE THE CONNECTION HERE TO WOODBINE. YOU CAN ALSO SEE GAINES ROAD AND THE LARGER LOTS THAT ARE IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA OF THE TRACT AREA. THIS SMALL LOT THAT IS KINDA OVER ON THE SIDE THAT WITHIN THAT.

THE LOT ITSELF IS AN ACRE, AND IT HAS ONE SINGLE-FAMILY HOME THAT EXISTS, AND ANOTHER MOBILE HOME THAT HAS BEEN REMOVED.

THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON REVITALIZING THAT PARTICULAR AND THIS REQUEST WOULD BE TO ALLOW FOR THE DIVISION OF THE LOT INTO TWO LOTS. SO THERE WOULD BE HALF-ACRE LOTS. TO ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SECOND INDEPENDENT LOT RATHER THAN THE TWO THAT WERE THERE BEFORE. LOOKING AT THE FUTURE LAND USE, IT IS RESIDENTIAL BE THAT IT ALLOWS TWO UNITS PER ACRE AND THERE IS RESIDENTIAL BE ADJACENT TO IT ALONG WITH ALL THE PUBLIC AREA AND TO THE SOUTH OF IT RESIDENTIAL SEAT WHICH IS UP TO SIX UNITS PER ACRE. JUST A LITTLE CLOSER AND JUST TO KIND TO SHOW YOU HOW THE PUBLIC AND HOW SOME OF THAT ACTUALLY IS IN THE SCHOOL BOARD HOW IS HAVING OWNERSHIP AND HOW THEY CAN DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS THE OVERALL ZONING IN THE AREA OF THE OPEN RURAL ZONING THAT IS COVERED IN THE NORTH, WEST, AND SOUTH. THE PUD UD THAT IS TO THE EAST AND THE SOUTH. AND THE FIRE STATION WHICH IS THE COUNTY FACILITY OR FIRE OFFICES.

A LITTLE CLOSER IN. THIS IS ACTUALLY SURVEY FOR IT, SHOWS THE 259-FOOT FRONTAGE IN THE HUNDRED 70-FOOT DEPTH OF THIS AND WHERE THAT EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY HOME EXISTS AND

[01:25:01]

IT IS A LITTLE BIT MORE AND KINDA SHOWS THE VISITATION AND SEPARATES THESE LOTS FROM THE TRACK.

THIS IS A VIEW OF GAINES ROAD TO THE SOUTH.

AND IT DOES SHOW A LOT OF VEGETATION TO THE RESIDENTIAL THAT IS TO THE EAST. THIS IS TO THE NORTH, THAT IS DIRTBIKE ROAD, BY THE WAY, MY CLIENT IN WET AND MEN WITH EVERYBODY WHO LIVES IN THIS AREA.

AND THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES, THEY WILL KIND OF APPRECIATING SOME OF THE UPGRADES TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AGAIN JUST A FEW OF GAINES ROAD TO THE NORTH.

THAT SHOWS YOU THE EDGE OF GAINES ROAD AND THE DRAINAGE FACILITY AND ALL THAT VEGETATION WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.

SO THE REQUEST IS FOR THE RS THREE SONY IT DOES ALLOW FOR A MINIMUM LOT SIZE OF 7500 SQUARE FEET.

AND A WIDTH OF 75, BUT THEY WILL EXCEED THAT AND THEY DO STILL HAVE TO MEET THE SAME TYPES OF SETBACKS AS THEY WOULD IS A 25-FOOT FRONT. THE ADJACENT LAND USE IS SHOWN ON THE PROPERTY IS SHOWN AS A VARIETY OF RESIDENTIAL, WE DO HAVE LOWER DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO THE WEST, AND HIGHER DENSITY TO THE EAST. THE PROPERTY IS WITHIN AN UNRECORDED SUBDIVISION THAT ALLOWS THEM TO DO THE DIVISION THEY DO NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH PLANNING FOR THAT SO YOU WILL SEE THAT AGAIN. BUT THEY DO HAVE TO STILL CONFORM TO THE BUFFERING REQUIREMENTS.

SO WITH THAT WE FEEL LIKE IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE AREA AND COMPREHENSIVE PLANS AND CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS, POLICIES, AND OBJECTIVES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE LDC. THEY DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL AND WE ARE HERE ASKING FOR YOUR APPROVAL AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY

QUESTIONS. >> OKAY THANK YOU ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY SEEING ON WHEN WE OPENED UP FOR PUBLIC COMPING AGENDA ITEM

NUMBER EIGHT. >> WE WILL NOW TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM EIGHT, PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM A.

THERE IS NO PUBLIC, MR. CHAIRMAN.

>> THANK YOU MR. VICE CHAIR PUBLIC COMMENT CLOSE.

>> MR. CHAIRMAN I'M PREPARED TO MAKE A MOTION FOR OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. MOTION TO ENACT ORDINANCE 2021 -- 63 APPROVING REZONING 2021 -- 18 GAINES ROAD REZONING REQUEST TO REZONE APPROXIMATELY 1.09 ACRES OF LAND FROM OPEN RURAL TO RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY TO ALLOW FORCED TO SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ON TWO LOTS BASED UPON THE FINDINGS OF FACT

AS PROVIDED IN THE STAFF REPORT. >> WE HAVE A MOTION BY

[Items 11 & 12]

I SEE NONE PLEASE VOTE. OKAY THAT PASSES 5-0.

ALRIGHT NOW WE WILL MOVE INTO AGENDA ITEMS NUMBER 11 AND 12.

WE WOULD DO THESE TOGETHER. NUMBER 12 IS QUASIJUDICIAL SO I WILL START BACK WITH COMMISSIONER WHITEHURST.

TEN MONTH NO MR. CHAIRMAN. MR. DEAN?

NONE. >> I HAVE DONE AS WELL.

PLEASE COME FORWARD. >> HI MY NAME IS SHERRY I LIVE ON OLD DIXIE HIGHWAY IN ST. JOHN'S 3229.

WE ARE HERE ON THE CORNER LOT. A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON OUR COMPANY, WE ARE ESTABLISHED IN 2,003, WE BUILT OUR FACILITY OFF OF 210 AND WE OPENED OUR OLD DIXIE LOCATION 13250 DIXIE, IN

[01:30:03]

THIRTY-TWO COVERED SPOTS. WE ARE HERE BEFORE YOU TODAY TO DO PHASE TWO. ADDING A COMBINATION OF MORE COVERED SPOTS AND SOME OPEN AIR STORAGE.

IT WILL BE A TOTAL OF 175 SPACES AS YOU CAN SEE, NEXT-DOOR THE ORIGINAL ONE FROM 2,008 HAS 230 SPACES.

YOU CAN SEE SOUTH, THE FUTURE OF SANDY RIDGE VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT AND U.S. HIGHWAY ONE YOU CAN SEE IT BACK.

SO THE USERS OF OUR FACILITY, WE HAVE VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC AND ACTIVITY. THE ONLY THING ON THE HIGHWAY IS OUR FACILITY. PEOPLE ARE BUYING FANCY MOTORHOMES WITH THE HOPE TO TRAVEL.

SO AREA ONE IS THAT THEY ARE GOING ON A TRIP FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. WHEN IN USE THE MOTORHOME IS OFTEN GONE FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

SCENARIO TWO, IS LONG-TERM PARKING NOT TRAVELING, THE VEHICLE STAYS PART FOR SOME TIME.

THAT'S HER IDEAL HOUSE. SCENARIO THREE IS USED ON WEEKENDS AND BOATS USE INFREQUENTLY.

THE ORIGINAL FACILITY EXISTED WELL BEFORE THE NEIGHBORHOOD BEHIND US WAS BUILT. IT DID NOT DETER OR SLOWDOWN OR ANY HOME SALES ARE BIAS IN THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOOD.

THERE HAS BEEN NO COMPLAINTS FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND OUR PERSONAL PHONE NUMBERS ARE ON THE GATE.

WITH THE CELL PHONE NUMBERS. WE HANDLE EVERY PHONE CALL PERSONALLY ME AND MY PARTNER AND HIS WIFE.

ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOOD, MANY OF OUR CUSTOMERS ARE FROM THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOOD. AND IT IS A NECESSARY SERVICE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. THIS IS THE VIEW FROM THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, TO OUR FACILITY AS YOU CAN SEE IT IS NOT VERY NOTICEABLE. SO, WE HAVE A 10-FOOT TYPE B BUFFER, AND THEN UNCROSS RAGE, IT IS ALL 10-FOOT TYPE BUFFERS, PLUS THE EXISTING BUFFER UNCROSS RAGE, BECAUSE WE DO NOT OWN THAT STRIP OF LAND. WE ARE PROPOSING THAT WE USE THE SAME GATE THAT WE BUILT FOR OUR PHASE TWO WITH THIS NEXT PHASE.

FOR ACCESS, AND THAT WILL BE THE 8-FOOT WHITE VINYL FENCING AND PLANTINGS JUST LIKE YOU SEE H HERE.

SO THIS IS A VIEW OF OLD DIXIE HIGHWAY FROM THE END.

WE WILL RETAIN ALL THE EXISTING HARDWOOD TREES TO STRENGTHEN THE BUFFER. AND YOU CAN SEE ACROSS RAGE, THAT BUFFER THERE WITH A HEDGE GROWTH, IS OWNED BY OTHERS THAT WILL COURSE WILL STAY. OUR EXPECTATIONS ARE THE EXISTING BUFFER WILL REMAIN WITH OUR 10-FOOT TYPE B BUFFER BEHIND IT. AN 8-FOOT VINYL FENCE WILL ROUND THE CORNER WITH TREES IN FRONT OF IT.

THIS OUTSIDE WILL BE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT LIKELY AGAINST THE PARKING LOT. THE LIGHTING POST, WE ARE TAKING THE NEIGHBORS AND CONSIDERATION, ON OLD DIXIE HIGHWAY, EAST OF US IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT WE ARE PROPOSING IS THAT ALL OF THE LIGHTS WILL BE SHINING IN TOWARDS THE FACILITY.

IT IS GOING TO BE DESIGNED TO BE AWAY FROM THE HOMES.

ANY CLAIM OR FREQUENT OR EARLY-MORNING ACCESSES IS UNSUPPORTED. WE HAVE A SECURITY SYSTEM THAT KEEPS TRACK OF THAT. WE HAVE ALL SECURITY MEASURES IN PLACE FOR ALL OF OUR YARDS. FOR ANY ACCESS BETWEEN 11:00 P.M. AND 6:00 A.M. WE MONITOR THAT VERY CORROSIVE.

SO WE ARE PROPOSING CONDITIONAL ZONING LIMITED TO OFFICE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CATEGORY PLUS AN EARLY STORAGE THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND I WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

>> OKAY THANK YOU ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? WHEN WE OPEN UP FOR PUBLIC

COMMENT. >> ON BOTH 11 OR 12?

>> YES PLEASE SIR. >> PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEMS 11 AND 12 ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM 11 AND 12? I AM SEEING ON BRING BACK TO YOU MR. CHAIRMAN.

>> THANK YOU, PUBLIC COMMENT NOW CLOSE NOW WE ARE BACK.

[01:35:06]

>> COMMISSIONER CHAIRMAN IF THIS IS AN DIS- IF I BE HAPPY TO MAKE

A MOTION. >> PLEASE THANK YOU.

>> DISSES ON 11 MOTION TO ENACT ORDINANCE 2021 -- 64 REQUEST TO A CHANGE THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF APPROXIMATELY 3.38 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED AT 11275 OLD DIXIE HIGHWAY FROM RURAL SILVICULTURE TO MIXED-USE DISTRICT.

PLACED ON FOUR FINDINGS OF FACT AND PROVIDED IN THE STAFF

REPORT. >> SECOND.

>> CAN WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DEAN IN A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDRON IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE PLEASE VOTE. IT PASSES 5-0.

>> MR. CHAIRMAN I WILL MOVE ON 12 ALSO.

MOTION TO ENACT ORDINANCE 202165 BASED ON FOUR FINDINGS OF FACT

AS PROVIDED IN THE STAFF REPORT. >> SECOND.

[13. St. Johns County American Rescue Plan Act Funding Appropriation Plan.]

>> OKAY WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DEAN AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDRON IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE, PLEASE VOTE. THAT PASSES 5-0 THANK YOU.

THANK YOU COMMISSIONER DEAN AND COMMISSIONER WALDRON.

NOW WE WILL MOVE INTO A JETTING -- AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 13.

GOOD MORNING SIR. >> GOOD MORNING MR. CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 13'S PROPOSED ALLOCATION FOR THE EMIGRANT RESCUE PLAN FUNDS.

SOME OF THIS WILL BE A REPEAT WHAT YOU HEARD FROM THE REGIONAL COUNCIL THIS MORNING. SO I WILL GO A LITTLE QUICKER ON THE FINANCING GO THROUGH ALL OF THAT THEN I WILL BRING TO THE PROPOSED ALLOCATION AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

AS YOU CAN SEE HERE THIS AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN AS YOU ARE ALL AWARE IS MORE FOR THE PUBLIC.

THIS IS HOW THE FUNDING HAS GOTTEN TO ST. JOHNS COUNTY.

FOUR COUNTIES THERE IS ABOUT $65.1 BILLION ALLOCATED IT IS ALL BASED ON POPULATION. SO ST. JOHNS COUNTY IS ESTIMATED TO SAVE 51.3 MILLION WHICH WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT ALL YET.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE NEXT LINE WE RECEIVED ABOUT $25 MILLION.

THE CITY IS GETTING ABOUT SIX AND HALF MILLION.

AUGUSTINE BEATS RECEIVES 3 MILLION.

EACH MUNICIPALITY IN THE COUNTY IS TAKING CARE OF INDIVIDUALLY AS OPPOSED TO THE COUNTY A PASTOR WITH THE LOCAL MUNICIPALITY'S. THEY HAVE TO BE ENCUMBERED BY THE 31ST OF DECEMBER DECEMBER 2,021ST.

SO HERE IS THE TIMELINES AND DEADLINES TO REITERATE.

WE RECEIVED THE FIRST TRENCH OF MONEY ON AUGUST 9, WE JUST GOT IT LAST MONTH. PROVES BEGINNING.

YOU SEE THE DEADLINES, WE WILL GET TWO INSTALLMENTS WE HAVE THE FIRST DISTRIBUTION ALREADY, AND THE SECOND DISTRIBUTION SHOULD BE AVAILABLE NO LATER THAN 12 MONTHS.

AFTER FIRST PAYMENT IS RECEIVED. SO HERE IS SOME OF THE USES FOR THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN AS YOU SAW IN REGIONAL COUNCIL.

YOU SAW DETAIL RELATED TO EVERY SINGLE ELIGIBLE AND INELIGIBLE USE. AND THOSE RESPONSE TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH CAUSED BY COVID-19, AS YOU HEARD FROM THE COUNCIL THIS MORNING. THERE IS EMPHASIS ON LONG-TERM PLANNING'S NOT JUST IMMEDIATE NEEDS, HOWEVER THERE ARE IMMEDIATE NEEDS THAT OUR CAUSE. AS PART OF COVID-19, SO THESE FUNDS GIVE US THE ABILITY TO REPLACE ANY FUNDS THAT WE USE IT RELATED TO CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME DUE TO COVID-19 TESTING.

SO TO CONTAIN AND MITIGATE THE SPREAD OF COVID-19 BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH COVID-19 BARREL COVER BENEFITS DURING THAT TIME PERIOD.

IT ALSO AROUSED PUBLIC SECTOR REVENUE LOSS TO FOCUS ON WATER AND SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE AND EQUITY FOCUS SERVICES, YOU NEED TO SEE THE CONTINUE TO GO THROUGH NEGATIVE ECONOMIC IMPACT SUCH AS DELIVERING TWO SMALL FAMILIES AND BUSINESSES.

TO REBUILD PUBLIC SECTORS IN THAT LAST BULLET POINT RELATED TO PUBLIC SECTORS PACK CAPACITY IN THE EVENT THAT WE HAD TO LAY OFF OR TERMINATE OR FOR LOW. A NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR DUE TO COVID-19, IT SAYS YOU CAN USE THIS FUNDING TO GO BACK AND HIRE THOSE PEOPLE.

UNDER YOUR DIRECTION WE ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH NOT TO DO THAT.

SO NO ONE WAS LAID OFF AS A RESULT OF COVID-19.

PREMIUM PAY FOR BIOSAFETY WORKERS AND FOR BROADBAND INFRASTUCTURE WON OF THE THINGS THAT YOU HEARD THIS MORNING FROM THE REGIONAL COUNCIL. THERE IS REALLY NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE WHICH YOU HEARD FROM THEM.

AS A RELATES TO APPROPRIATE FUNDING.

THINGS THAT CANNOT BE USED FOR PENSION FUND PAYMENTS, IT CANNOT BE USED TO GO STRICTLY PAYING OFF DEBT.

ON THE NEXT BULLET OFFSETTING PRODUCTION THAT RESULTS IN A CHANGE OF LAW. ESSENTIALLY THAT MEANS YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO USE THIS TO FUND UNFUNDED MANDATES.

DURING THIS PRESCRIBED PERIOD. SO WE GET THE MANDATES AND WE

[01:40:01]

TO BRING FORTH FUTURE FUNDING NEEDS.

THIS IS A SMALL NEED UPFRONT IN RELATION TO THE OVERALL POPULATION MONEY THAT WE RECEIVED THIS IS FOR $7.8 MILLION, SO HERE IS THE BREAKDOWN OF IT.

THE VACCINATION SITE WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR THAT SITE.

THAT WILL BE HOSTED, THAT IS APPROXIMATELY 1.79 MILLION.

MITIGATION AND PROFESSION AND OTHER THINGS IS APPROXIMATELY 388,000, SMALL BUSINESS GRANT PROGRAM ALSO GETS INTO ON THE NEXT LIGHT. WE WILL BE LAUNCHING IF THE BOARD APPROVES TODAY, PARSON PUBLIC CLASSES AND RECREATION SPACE. AS YOU CAN SEE THAT IS $3.67 MILLION. THAT WILL GO TO IMPROVEMENTS TO COUNTY PARKS. AROUND THE AREA AS YOU ALL REMEMBER FROM COVID-19 BEING OUTSIDE IN THE USE OF RECOGNITION SPACE BECAME A THEME.

AS WE SEE GOING FORWARD THE ABILITY TO HAVE OPEN SPACES SO YOU OUR WEATHER WHERE OUR SPACES AND PUBLIC PLACES WHERE YOU SIGNIFICANTLY AND WOULD ADDRESS SEVERAL INITIATIVES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY TO IMPROVE THOSE PLACES.

AND THEN PREMIUM PAY FOR PUBLIC SAFETY, I WOULD EXPECT TO SEE THE BOTTOM TO THE PREMIUM PLAY PUBLIC SAFETY AND PARKS AND PUBLIC PLAZA AS PART OF FUTURE FUNDING AS WELL.

THIS IS WHAT IS BEFORE YOU TODAY.

YOU SEE THE STAR. IT GOES UP TO A 5% ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT ALLOCATION.

THAT GIVES US THE ABILITY TO DO WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO TO CONSULT WITH STAFF IN THE FUTURE.

THEN I AM GOING TO MOVE ALONG HERE, FOR THE COMMUNITY TO SEE RESIDENTS CAN SEE AND VISIT THE WEBSITE IS STILL IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF FACE. SO SOMEBODY CLICKS ON THERE TODAY, IS NOT COMPLETELY BUILT OUT.

EVERYTHING IS NOT THERE YET. WE SEE THE LAST BULLET POINT SAYS BASICALLY WILL BE ACCESSIBLE BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER. BEFORE WE GO LIVE WE WILL SEND OUT A PRESS RELEASE OF THE MEDIA PARTNERS.

WE USE OUR SOCIAL MEDIA AND MOVEMENT SHOW THAT THAT IS SPREAD NEAR AND FAR. SO PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO GO ONTO THE WEBSITE WEBSITE TO REVIEW. YOU CAN CLICK ON THE LINK TODAY IT DOES WORK AS APPLICATION AND THE REQUIREMENTS FOR SMALL BUSINESS GRANTS. AS PART OF THE WEBSITE WE ARE MOVING TO AS YOU HEARD FROM THE REGIONAL COUNCIL THAT KIND OF WANT TO HEAR NOT JUST REGIONAL COUNCIL NOT JUST ACCOUNTING BUT THE REQUEST TO HEAR FROM THE COMMUNITY AND WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE FROM THIS FUNDING. SO WHAT WE WILL BE DOING AND LAUNCHING LATER IN THE MONTH IS TO CONSIDER AS PART OF PHASE TWO TO BRING BACK TO HIS ALLOW THE COMMUNITY TO BUY FEEDBACK ON REQUESTS AND INITIATIVES THROUGH THAT WEBSITE.

WHAT THEY WILL DO IS SUBMIT A LINK, THEY'LL BE MULTIPLE VETTING REQUIREMENTS. SO THEY WILL GET THE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS. SOMEBODY MAY HAVE A GREAT IDEA BUT IT CERTAINLY MAY NOT FALL WITHIN THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN AVAILABILITY REQUIREMENTS THAT REQUEST WOULD BE DENIED.

SO THERE WOULD BE A COUPLE OF PASTORS TO GO THROUGH THEIR AND ULTIMATELY IF THERE ANY PROJECTS AND LONG-TERM PLANS.

PART OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANS IF THERE IS A NEED OF COMMUNITY OR THAT A SIGNIFICANT AND WHAT WE WOULD BRING THAT BACK AS WELL. SO THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY, TO SUBMIT THEIR FEEDBACK LATER IN THE MONTH.

BY THE FIRST OF OCTOBER, AGAIN THIS IS AGAIN TO WANTING PEOPLE TO BE AWARE THAT IS GOING FORWARD.

AND THEY WILL BE GIVEN ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY AS IT GETS CLOSER.

SO I THINK THE LAST PART HERE IS FOR YOU ALL TO CONSIDER THE TWO MOTIONS TO ADOPT OR DENY AND I WAS STANDBY FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE AS YOU LOOK AT THE MOTION ON THE SCREEN I KNOW YOU HAVE YOUR PACKET. I WILL GO BACK TO THE PROPOSED PHASE I FUNDING FUNDING THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO VIEW THERE.

>> MR. CONRAD WHEN WILL THE MONEY BE DISPERSED?

>> THEY SHOULD ALREADY HAVE, MY ASSUMPTION IS IF THEY ARE ON THE SAME DISBURSEMENT TIMETABLE AS US, THEY WOULD HAVE RECEIVED A FIRST STEP. BUT I DO NOT KNOW SPECIFICALLY.

>> THEY CAN USE THAT MONEY TO EXPAND?

>> THAT IS CORRECT. >> THANK YOU.

TEN JESSER. JESSER.

>> IF WE DON'T KNOW TODAY IF WE CAN USE THE AMERICAN FUNDING

[01:45:15]

>> WORK WITH OUR CONSULTANT REQUIRE THAT AND I WILL GET BACK

TO YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> YES, SIR. >> THANK YOU MR. CONRAD FOR CLEAR CONCISE BRIEFING. WHEN WE GO AND OPEN IT UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AND WILL COME BACK TO THE BOARD FRACTION.

>> OKAY PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM 13, ITEM 13 DEMANDS RESCUE PLAN.

>> ARE THERE ANY OTHER PUBLIC SPEAKERS ON 13 PLEASE APPROACH A PODIUM STAND BY THANK SIR. NAME AND ADDRESS.

>> YES I WILL PINCH-HIT? ONCE AGAIN I APOLOGIZE FOR THE WAY WE GOT STARTED KAREN OFTEN FEEDBACK TO IN OUR FRIDAY

E-MAIL. >> AGAINST HER NAME AND ADDRESS.

>> 1107 VICARIOUS DRIVE SAINT AUGUSTINE BEACH.

WE FEEL VERY STRONGLY WE HAVE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO WORK TOGETHER. AND SOME OF THE STUFF WE ALREADY SAID IN THE LAST SPEAKER SAID THAT YOU BEEN WORKING AT THIS.

THE COUNTY COMMISSION AND STAFF, TO COMMUNITY LEADERS AND THE PUBLIC. THEY ALL WORK TOGETHER.

YOU HAVE TIME TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE.

OF ST. JOHN'S COUNTY. WE UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT IS AVAILABLE. 51 MILLION FROM THE AMERICAN RECOVERY PLAN ACT. WE ALSO KNOW WHAT WE JUST HEARD ABOUT THE $7.8 MILLION FIRST INSTALLMENT.

THE ITEM MENTIONED SOUND GOOD, I JUST DO NOT KNOW THE URGENCY OF SOME OF THEM LIKE PARK PLAZA RECREATION AND SO ON.

IN OTHER VERY URGENT THINGS RIGHT NOW I AM NOT QUALIFIED TO BE ABLE TO KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THEM AND I HAVE NOT SEEN THE DETAIL. IT KINDA GETS BACK TO WHAT OUR BIGGEST DISCERNMENT IS. WE DO HAVE A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER TO DISCUSS, IDENTIFY, WORK TOWARD ACHIEVING COMMUNITY CONSENSUS AND PRIORITIZING THE MOST URGENT NEEDS OF ST. JOHN'S COUNTY.

AND THEN USING THIS $51 MILLION IN A CLEAR AND EQUITABLE WAY.

THAT'S WHY CARE ADVOCATES A COMMUNITY WORKSHOP AND FUNDING NEEDS AND PRIORITIES TO GUIDE DECISIONS ON HOW TO SPEND FEDERAL FUNDING. AND THEN FEDERAL GUIDELINES.

THE PUBLIC WORKSHOP AND THEIR LEADERS ARE PRESENTED IN THE MOST UNDISTURBED AND VULNERABLE CITIZENS.

THE DIRECTORS OF THE AGENCIES THAT SERVE OUR MOST VULNERABLE CITIZENS HAVE SOME OF THE BIGGEST PARTS IN OUR COUNTY, AND ARE SOME OF THE MOST ORGANIZED LEADERS THAT CAN BE.

KAREN WOULD BE PLEASED TO WORK WITH THE COUNTY STAFF AND OTHER COMMUNITY LEADERS TO ORGANIZE AND CONDUCT SUCH A WORKSHOP IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. SERVING THE LEAST IMPORTANT, THE LEAST FORTUNATE IN THE COUNTY, NOT JUST THE MORALLY RIGHT THING TO DO, BUT INVESTING AS YOU KNOW WITHIN CITIZENS WILL HELP THEM BECOME MORE PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS WHO ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE COUNTY. AND BY PAYING TAXES.

SO THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING OUR CONCERNS AS ALWAYS, WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT YOU WILL SEE THE MERIT IN OUR PROPOSAL.

AND DO THE RIGHT THING BY CONDUCTING COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU SIR.

YES, MA'AM. >> CITY OF SAINT AUGUSTINE, EIGHT NEWCOMB STREET. JUST FOR THE PUBLIC TO KNOW, ALL E-MAIL THAT THIS BOARD OR EMPLOYEES OF THIS COUNTY RECEIVE OUR PUBLIC RECORDS. YOU DO NOT NEED TO APOLOGIZE BECAUSE IT WENT TO THE WORLD. THESE ARE ALL PUBLIC RECORD REQUEST. SO, THAT IS JUST FOR THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND THAT. 7.8 MILLION IS GOOD.

I DID NOT HEAR I WAS GOING BACK AND FORTH OUTSIDE, WHO IS THE CONSULTANT THAT IS GOING TO BE HANDLING THIS? OR IS IT GOING TO BE ONE OF OUR STAFF, AND I AM GLAD SOMEONE BROUGHT UP COMMISSIONER WALDRON, ABOUT THE SEWER.

[01:50:03]

THAT MADE BE SOME OF THIS MONEY CAN BE PUT INTO THE POT BY THE COUNTY? IT IS NOT YOUR SERVICE AREA, BUT IT IS IN THE COUNTY. SO, TO GET EVERYBODY OFF OF SEPTIC TANKS, EXCUSE ME, AND THE COUNTY IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF THE CITY AND THE COUNTY PUT IN SOME OF THIS MONEY THAT THEY ARE GETTING SO THAT THEY CAN TAKE CARE OF IT INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT IT OVER AGAIN. AND THE PARK IN PUBLIC SPACES AND RACK SPACES. AND GOING OVER THE BUDGET I AM NOT GOING TO BE HERE AT 5:00 O'CLOCK I HAVE SOMEPLACE ELSE TO BE. THERE IS MONEY IN THERE NOW TO CORRECT OR TAKE CARE OF. I HOPE IT IS NOT SEVEN, MILLION DOLLARS TO TAKE CARE OF THE GOLF COURSE THAT THE COUNTY ALLOWED TO GO INTO THAT DITCH. AND NOT TAKE CARE OF IT.

AND THAT IS OUTSIDE AND IT IS FOR MOST OF THE PEOPLE I WILL NOT SAY THEY ARE ELDERLY BUT THEY ARE A LITTLE BIT OLDER THAN SOME OF US. AND SO THAT IS A GOOD RESOURCE FOR THEM NOT JUST BECAUSE OF COVID-19, BUT JUST FOR LIFE IN GENERAL. TO STAY ACTIVE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN SO THAT YOUR HEALTH WOULD BE IN GOOD SHAPE.

SO I WOULD LOOK FOR THAT AS FAR AS PUTTING SOME MONEY OVER THERE IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THIS IS THE TAX MONEY I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM, BUT IF WE ARE GETTING IT WE NEED TO DO THAT TOO. YOU TAKE AWAY FROM HAVING TO SPEND OUR GENERAL PROPERTY TAXES.

SO BASICALLY WHO IS A CONSULTANT, THE PUBLIC RECORDS ARE FOR EVERYBODY I DON'T CARE WHO YOU SENT THE E-MAIL TO, AND GOLF AND SORT THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THANK YOU. ANY FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENT ON

ITEM 13, AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN? >> GOOD MORNING I AM IRVING BOLICK 3370 COASTAL HIGHWAY, COAT WITH SAINT AUGUSTINE, 32084. I DID NOT EXPECT YOU ALL TO GET THROUGH SO FAST. BUT, I AM HERE TO SPEAK FOR TRYING TO GET A WORKSHOP WITH THE LEADERS IN OUR COMMUNITY WHO SERVE THE UNDERSERVED. I FIND THAT THEY ARE THE BIGGEST PARTY PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTY AND THEY ARE ALSO SOME OF THE MOST ORGANIZED PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTY. I THINK THAT THIS MONEY BEFORE WE VOTE TO SEND ANY OF IT ANYWHERE, IT NEEDS TO COME BEFORE THE PUBLIC, IT NEEDS TO COME BEFORE LEADERS WHO CAN'T WORK OUT WHAT IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF ALL OF THE COUNTY.

SO I AM OPEN, THAT YOU WILL NOT TAKE A VOTE ON THIS FIRST PORTION. I AM HOPING YOU WILL DO THE SECOND THING IS SET UP A WORKSHOP.

WE WOULD BE EAGER AND ABLE TO HELP YOU WITH THE WORKSHOP, BUT THERE ARE ALSO A LOT OF TALENTED PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY THAT CAN DO THIS. TO HELP YOU SET UP A WORKSHOP, THAT INVITES PEOPLE TO TELL US WHAT ARE THE REAL NEEDS OF THE UNDERSERVED IN OUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE THEY ARE PLENTIFUL NEEDS. PUT ALL OF THESE IN THE WORKSHOP. AND SOME OF THEM WOULD PROBABLY BE FUNDED, MAYBE ALL OF THEM WOULD, BUT LET'S LET THE PUBLIC PUT THE INPUT IT AND SEE WHAT IS MOST NEEDED.

THAT IS PROBABLY A RACE HEAR FROM ANOTHER MEETING I WASN'T PREPARED TO SPEAK LIKE THIS ON THIS, BUT I DO THINK THIS IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT, THAT WE TRY TO LISTEN TO ALL OF THE NEEDS AND OUR COMMUNITY. AND LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE THAT WORK WITH HOME AGAIN, ST. JOHN'S WITH THE WEST AUGUSTINE, WITH DIGNITY, AND HABITAT. ALSO THE UNITED WAY, YOU JUST HAVE INCREDIBLE LEADERSHIP THERE THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE CONSULTED ON WHAT ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT NEEDS IN THIS COMMUNITY THAT WE CAN'T ADDRESS WITH THIS MONEY? MY HOPE IS THAT YOU WILL WAIT ON THIS.

YOU WILL PUT THESE ITEMS IN A WORKSHOP, AND YOU WILL LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY LEADERS THAT WE HAVE THAT ARE SO ABLE AND SO QUALIFIED TO HELP US UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE UNDERSERVED NEEDS IN

[01:55:05]

>> THANK YOU, ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM 30 -- 13?

AND WORDS TO LEARN. COURTEOUS, THAT IS A HARD ONE, ALSO POLITE, AND COURTEOUS. THOSE ARE VERY GOOD WORDS TO LIVE BY AND, THIS WILL BE CONTINUED INDEFINITELY AND I'D LIKE TO REALLY KNOW HOW THIS HAPPENED, BUT I KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

JUST A FEW THOUGHTS THIS MORNING IN REGARD TO FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

IN THE WEST DURING PART OF THE COUNTY, WORK CONTINUES AS GROUND PREPARATION TO LISTING ABOVEGROUND AND HARROWING'S.

CABBAGE PLANTING UNDER ONE PRODUCER THAT IS BEGINNING TODAY TO PLANT CABBAGE. OF THE CROSS WILL BE THAT.

THIS WEEK IN REGARD TO PLANTING BROCCOLI, CAULIFLOWER AND OTHER SORTS OF CROPS. I DO BELIEVE COMMISSIONER DEAN, WILL YOU BE GIVEN A SEARCH COMMITTEE SEARCH COMMITTEE

>> THANK YOU THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

>> THANK YOU MISSA COMMISSIONER, MR. VICE CHAIR?

>> FIRST LET ME, AND GIVE A REPORT ON THE SEARCH COMMITTEE ACTIVITY THE COUNTY ATTORNEY ACTIVITY.

THE COMMITTEE INTERVIEWED CANDIDATES INTERVIEWED THREE CANDIDATES ON 825, AND 826, AND THEN WE SELECTED TWO CANDIDATES TO ADVANCE TO THE NEXT PHASE, WHAT WE CONSIDER THE NEXT PHASE TO BE WHICH WE CONSIDER AN AFFIRMATION BY THE FULL BOARD AS COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THE TWO APPLICANTS HAVE ONE ON ONE MEETINGS EITHER IN PERSON OR BY PHONE THEY'LL BE COMMISSIONER SMITH COMMISSION BLOCK AND COMMISSIONER WALDRON AND COMMISSIONER WHITEHURST. AND THEN, WE WOULD WORK TO SET THE FINAL PUBLIC INTERVIEW ALL FIVE COMMISSIONERS, WOULD INTERVIEW THE TWO CANDIDATES IN PERSON THAT WILL BE A PUBLIC MEETING WE WOULD THEN HAVE A DISCUSSION FOLLOWING THAT MEETING TO DETERMINE THE DECISION AS TO THE COUNTY ATTORNEY. THAT'S WHERE WE ARE ON THAT.

SO WITH THAT SAID, I GUESS I AM JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO THE TENTATIVE BUDGET DISCUSSION TODAY AND WE'LL GO FROM THAT.

>> OKAY THANK YOU MR. VICE CHAIR, COMMISSIONER WALDRON?

>> NOTHING TODAY SURPRISING. >> THANK YOU, THANK YOU SIR, MR?

>> I JUST WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SEPTEMBER 11 AND THE ATTACKS IN THIS NATION.

I JUST WANT TO SHARE THAT EVERY TIME I THINK ABOUT THAT DAY, I ALWAYS THINK OF THE GREAT MEN AND WOMEN WHO WENT INTO THOSE BUILDINGS AND SAVE SO MANY LIES AND ULTIMATELY LOST THEIR LIVES, THE FIREFIGHTERS AND SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT I THINK WE HAVE THE SAME SPIRIT HERE IN ST. JOHN'S COUNTY.

THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVE IN THE SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT AND SERVE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARE CUT FROM US THAT VERY SAME CLOTH OF SOME OF THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT WE LOST ON THAT DAY.

I ALSO THINK OF MEN LIKE COMMISSIONER BLOCKER, AND MEN LIKE MY UNCLE WHO IS A VEREEN AND STILL IS A VEREEN.

MAKE TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THOSE ACTS.

WE TALK ABOUT THE GREATEST GENERATION BEING THE WORLD WAR II GENERATION. I THINK WHEN WE SEND OUR MILITARY MEN AND WOMEN TO FIGHT A WAR FOR 20 YEARS, THEY DON'T MAKE POLICY THEY TAKE ORDERS AND LEGAL FIGHT AND I THINK THAT THE BEST IN THE WORLD. AND WE LOOKED LIKE BACK IN THE LAST 20 YEARS AND ALL THE SACRIFICES THAT THEY HAVE ABOUT

[02:05:01]

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THOSE KIND WORDS WE APPRECIATE THAT.

SO BEFORE SO I HAVE A FEW THINGS I'LL TRY TO GO QUICKLY.

FOR THE FIRST THING I WANT TO BRING UP, WE ADDRESS THIS BRIEFLY I ADDRESSED HIS CONTRACT, AT THAT TIME I NOTIFIED AND COMPLETED THE BOARD'S PORTION OF THE CHAIRMAN'S PORTION OF THIS REVIEW.

HE WAS OUT OF TOWN AT THE TIME, HE HAS RETURNED, WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SIT FACE-TO-FACE AND TALK ABOUT HIS CONTRACT.

ONE OF THE MY ROLES AS THE CHAIRMAN IS TO RECOMMEND A COST OF LIVING PAY RAISE FOR HIS CONTRACT.

WE HAVE TO DO THAT AS A BOARD. THE REST OF OUR EMPLOYEES GET THE SAME PAY RAISE IS A COST OF LIVING, WE AS WE AS COMMISSIONERS GET A COST-OF-LIVING PAYRAISE AS WELL.

I ACTUALLY HAD TO BRING IT TO THE BOARD, SO I WILL DO THAT NOW AND ASKED THAT WE BE AFFIRMATIVE UNLESS THE BOARD HAS A DIFFERENT VIEW ON THIS. FOR US TO, BUT I THINK HE'S DOING A GREAT JOB I THINK HE DESERVES A COST-OF-LIVING PAYRAISE AS WELL AS ANY DISCUSSION FROM THE BOARD? IF ANYONE FEELS OTHERWISE? LET'S GO AHEAD MOVE FORWAR THAT. OKAY WE'LL GO HAVE IT AND HEAD

IN PUBLIC COMMENT. >> WE WILL TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE COST-OF-LIVING ADJUSTMENT FOR COUNTY MINISTRIES AND CONVERSATION. SEEING NONE WILL GO BACK TO THE

BOARD. >> AGAIN, JUST TO REMIND THE BOARD THIS IS WORSE -- MET WITH MR. CONRAD THE WAY HIS CONTRACT

REDS WE HAVE TO AFFIRM THAT. >> I WILL MOVE TO APPROVE THAT.

>> OKAY THANK YOU. IS THERE A SECOND PERIOD.

>> SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSION DEAN AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WALDRON ANY UP FOR DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE PLEASE VOTE.

ALRIGHT THANK YOU MR. CONRAD, COMMISSIONER DEAN, COMMISSIONER WHITEHURST. THE OTHER THING I WANT TO BRING UP, I HAD SUCH, PART OF THIS JOB IS YOU GET TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE WHEN THEY ARE STRUGGLING. AND THESE ARE GOING AND YOU GET AN OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL.

WE GOT AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO MENENDEZ PARK, AND SPEND TIME WITH SOME OF THE RESIDENTS THERE.

WE SPENT GOOD PART OF THE AFTERNOON JUST WALKING AROUND AND SEEING SOME OF THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL REMAINS THERE, AND IT WAS SUCH A SPECIAL AFTERNOON.

TO LOOK AT THAT COMMUNITY AND SEE SOME OF THE INCREDIBLE AND WONDERFUL THINGS THAT WE HAVE IN ST. JOHN'S COUNTY, AND THE HISTORY OF THAT TRANSCENDS GENERATIONS, I KNOW SOME OF YOU WERE BORN AND RAISED THERE, I THINK IT IS ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE, I ENCOURAGE THE PUBLIC IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT MENENDEZ PARK.

YOU WILL SEE A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF ST. JOHN'S COUNTY HISTORY AS ALONG AS FLORIDA HISTORY THERE.

THANK YOU TO THE RESIDENCE WERE KIND TO GIVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO DOWN TO VISIT WITH THEM. ANOTHER THING THAT IS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THE GRASS ON 207 AND 312, IS GETTING A LITTLE LONG. IF WE CAN TIDY UP THAT A LITTLE BIT. I GOT A COUPLE PHONE CALLS OVER THE WEEKEND SO CONCERNED CITIZENS WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON THAT IS PROBABLY I DO WANT TO DISTURB STAFF OVER THE WEEKEND WEEK WANT TO SEND STAFF OUT THERE AND TAKE A LOOK AT THAT ALSO QUICKLY ARE THERE ANY UPDATES FROM REPUBLIC AS FAR AS TRASH PICKUP OR ANYTHING? ANY UPDATES ON THE?

>> NOT BEYOND WHAT THEY HAD BROUGHT FORTH AT THE LAST UPDATE I THINK IT WAS AT THE LAST COMMISSION MEETING.

NOTHING BEYOND THAT I KNOW THEY ARE STILL WORKING TOWARDS THE OCTOBER THAT IS THE LATEST THAT I HAVE HEARD.

I KNOW MR. CALDWELL AND E-CIGS HAVE BEEN IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION AND THE OTHER VENDOR THAT ARE USED IN THE COMMUNITY. WE CAN PROVIDE YOU SOMETHING AND E-MAIL IF YOU HAVE FURTHER UPDATES ON THAT.

>> I APPRECIATE THAT JUST OF THE REST OF THE BOARD KNOWS THIS IS IMPACTING COMMISSIONER WHITEHURST AND MY DISTRICT.

THIS IS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND ADDRESS IT.

I WOULD JUST PUT THAT OUT THIS SINCE WE DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMUNICATE. BUT I AM TROUBLED BY THE SITUATION, I UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGE, BUT WE ALSO HAVE RESINS THAT PAY PROPERTY TAXES FOR SERVICE.

AND IT IS NOT BEING FULLY DELIVERED.

SO I KNOW OUR STAFF HAS BEEN PROACTIVE AND I APPRECIATE THAT THIS IS NOT A REFLECTION OF OUR STAFF IS KIND OF AN ONGOING CHALLENGE HERE. IT IS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY THE STAFF, WE MAY NEED TO REOPEN THE APPLICATION.

FOR THE LAND ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM.

SO WE WILL SEE WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN WITH THAT SO WE WILL GO FROM THERE I THINK IS A SNAFU IN THE TIMING.

[02:10:01]

MY HAIR WAS PROBABLY TOO LONG AND HAD COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PLANS IN MIND. BUT THAT ONE EVENT COMPLETELY ALTERED THE TRAJECTORY OF MY LIFE.

AND SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE. IN THIS PAST YEAR I HAD TWO SOLDIERS I SERVED WITH OF COURSE I THINK ABOUT THOSE YOUNG MEN.

THE FAMILIES THAT THEY LEFT BEHIND WITH VERY YOUNG CHILDREN.

INFANTS, AND I THINK ABOUT THE COST OF THAT WEIGHT ON THEM.

MULTIPLE DEPLOYMENTS TO IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN.

THE HUMAN COST HAS BEEN TREMENDOUS TO OUR SOCIETY.

AND I DO NOT KNOW THAT WE ALL KNOW PROBABLY THE NEXT TEN, 15, OR 20 YEARS WE WILL REALIZE THE COST OF THAT.

BUT IT HAS BEEN TOUGH. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THOSE POOR MEN AND WOMEN THAT, ON THAT THURSDAY MORNING CIVILIANS THEY WERE NOT THE MILITARY DIDN'T CHOOSE TO PUT THEMSELVES IN SITUATION. THEY WERE ON THEIR WAY TO WORK, AND YOU THINK ABOUT THEIR LIFE AND HOW IT ENDED.

THOSE PEOPLE JUMPING FOR BUILDINGS.

I KNOW WE KNOW ABOUT IT AND SEE IT.

BUT I THINK WHAT WE HAD TO DO IN THESE COUNTRIES IS ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE. I WOULD DO IT AGAIN, I WOULD SIGN UP TO GO OVER THERE AGAIN. I AM STILL ON THE HOOK I CAN STILL GET PULLED OVER AND THAT COULD HAPPEN AT SOME POINT.

BUT I THINK JUST AS WE SIT BACK AND THINK ABOUT THE COST OF THAT, YOU KNOW IT IS HEARTBREAKING WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE SOLDIERS AND MARINES. THE CHAPLAIN READ THE LIST OF SOME TODAY, AND IT IS UNFORTUNATE, I KNOW WILL HAVE STRONG OPINIONS ABOUT WHAT WE SHOULD AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.

ONE OF THE THINGS YOU LEARN AND AIRBORNE AS A MILITARY STRATEGIST. DURING THESE TIMES, AND FOREIGN POLICY EXPERTS, I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS REALLY STUCK OUT MY MIND IS LESS NOT FORGET EVEN THOUGH WE REMEMBER THE SOLDIERS, SAILORS, VEREEN, AND AIRMEN WHO LOST THEIR LIFE THERE. EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM HAS BEEN IMPACTED BY THAT. LET'S NOT FORGET THOSE YOU KNOW THE SOCCER MOMS THOSE JANITORS, THOSE DAY TRADERS THAT DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THAT, THEY CAN PUT THEMSELVES IN A WAR ZONE THERE ATTACKED HERE IN THIS COUNTRY. AND I THINK WE HAVE TO KEEP THAT IN MIND. THAT IS NOT A ROLE AS A BOARD, BUT I THINK IS IMPORTANT IS REMEMBER THAT THERE IS MORE CIVILIANS WENT THROUGH THAT. AS WELL AS THE SACRIFICES FOR MILITARY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO TALK ABOUT THIS I KNOW ALL OF US HAVE A STORY, AND SOMEONE VERY SPECIAL HAS BEEN IMPACTED BY IT. BUT AS WE PRAY FOR THOSE PEOPLE IN THE LOSS AND THE COST WE PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY RIGHT NOW.

LET'S REMEMBER WHY WE GOT INTO THIS AND WE HAVE THIS.

[County Attorney’s Report]

WAIT I'M SORRY, MR. CONRAD. YOUR GOOD THANK YOU.

MR. MCCORMICK. >> IS THANK YOU IS A CHAIR TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 11, THE FIRST AIRCRAFT HIT AT 8:46 A.M., THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WAS MEETING THAT DAY.

THE SECOND AIRCRAFT HIT AT 9:03 A.M. RIGHT TOWARDS THE START OF THE BCC MEETING. I WAS A CONSTITUENT OF THE COUNTY AT THAT TIME. MY UNDERSTANDING IS YOU GTB CREW, WATCH THAT AND CAME OUT AND NOTIFIED ADMIN IN THE BOARD OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I THINK THE BOARD TOOK NOTICE OF THAT AND KIND OF I THINK AFTER UNDERSTANDING THE MAGNITUDE OF THE ATTACK. NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS NEXT, DO NOT FORGET AT THAT TIME, THERE WAS AN AIRCRAFT THAT WOULD BE ATTACKING THE PENTAGON, AND THEN THERE WAS ANOTHER BACKREST THAT BASICALLY WAS GOING TO ATTACK THE CAPITAL THE WHITE HOUSE AND WAS CRASHED IN PENNSYLVANIA. THE BOARD TOOK COGNIZANCE OF THAT AND I BELIEVE ADJOURNED THE MEETING JUST BECAUSE IT WAS NOT KNOWN HOW MUCH AROUND THE COUNTRY WAS POTENTIALLY BEING INTACT. BUT I DO REMEMBER THE BOARD AT

[02:15:03]

THE ATTITUDE OF THIS BOARD IS, THIS IS A EVENT, YOU KNOW THE PANDEMIC IS AN ONGOING THING. BUT, COMMISSIONER BLOCKER, I THINK YOU WOULD AGREE IS A VETERAN, THAT THE STRENGTH OF AMERICA WE HAVE OUR ARMED FORCES, BUT THE REAL STRENGTH OF THE MEN AND WOMEN TO GO OUT AND WORK EVERY DAY IN THE AMERICAN ECONOMY AND PROVIDE ALL THE GOODS AND SERVICES.

FOR THIS BOARD TO RECOGNIZE DURING THIS PANDEMIC, A KIND OF REMINDED ME OF THE BOARD 20 YEARS AGO WITH 911.

I JUST WANT TO REMARK ON THAT. >> THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT THAT IS VERY POWERFUL. THAT IS A POWERFUL REMINDER TO EVERY AMERICAN. YOU KNOW IF I COULD DOVETAIL IF NOT, YOU KNOW MY DAD HE WAS A VIETNAM VETERAN AND HE GREW UP DURING WORLD WAR II. HE IS A VETERAN COMBAT VETERAN, HE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT YOU KNOW YOU NEVER SEE THOSE MONUMENTS TO THE FARMERS AND THE TRAIN CONDUCTORS IN THE SOCCER MOMS THAT SACRIFICE A LOT. THINGS ARE RATIONED DURING WORLD WAR TWO, SO THE SOLDIERS IN THE MARINES AND SAILORS THAT FIGHT OVERSEAS, AND THE AMERICAN PUBLIC SACRIFICE TREMENDOUSLY.

AND WE CAN'T FORGET THAT BECAUSE THEY WERE SENDING THEIR SONS AND DOLLARS INTO THE CONFERENCE AS WELL.

AS WELL AS LIFE IS DISRUPTED. I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT REMIND

US OF THANK YOU. >> MR. CHAIR, I THINK THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ARE GENERALLY AWARE OF THIS.

THE CELL TOWER ALONG A 1A, IN THE VICINITY, AND FACT EVEN IN THE MARSH CREEK PUD, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO GIVE A VERY BRIEF OVERVIEW AND THEN I WILL MAKE A RECOMMENDATION IF I MAY.

THERE HAS BEEN A CELL TOWER ERECTED OFF OF IA IN ANASTASIA ISLAND OFF THE MARSH AND PUD. CONSTRUCTED BY A CONTRACTOR WITH A LEASE FROM THE F DOT PROPERTY. THE CONTRACTOR DID NOT OBTAIN A COUNTY ZONING APPROVAL OR BUILDING PERMIT PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION OF THE TOWER. THE MARSH CREEK PUD DOES NOT ALLOW TOWERS BY RIGHT, SO IN OTHER WORDS I THINK FOR THAT MATTER ESPECIALLY USE WOULD BE REQUIRED.

NOT TO MENTION THAT TOWERS THAT ARE ALONG THE SCENIC COUNTY DESIGNATED SCENIC HIGHWAY, NEED TO BE APPROVED BY THIS BOARD.

SO, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF VERY SIGNIFICANT ISSUES PERTAINING TO THIS MATTER. AND WE HAVE DRAFTED A KIND OF A LETTER, FIRST OF ALL LET ME SAY. THE COUNTY IS PURSUING CODE ENFORCEMENT AND REVIEWING ALL OF THE COUNTY'S LEGAL REMEDIES PERTAINING TO THIS. WE DO THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL ALSO FOR THIS BOARD, THROUGH THE CHAIR IN A LETTER TO THE F DOT, SECRETARY KIND OF OUTLINE THE COUNTY CONCERNS.

I WILL TELL YOU, OUR OFFICE HAS REACHED OUT TO BE ON THE COUNTY, AND FOUND THAT WE THINK THERE IS AT LEAST TWO OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE ROUGHLY THE SITUATION WHERE THE TIRE WENT OUT WITHOUT GETTING THE LOCAL APPROVAL. WHICH BY THE WAY THE F DOT TO ITS CREDIT REQUIRES LOCAL APPROVAL.

I HAD THOUGHT TODAY WHAT I WOULD BE REQUESTING IS RIGHT NOW AUTHORIZED A CHAIR TO WRITE A LETTER.

I THINK THIS ISSUE IS ENOUGH MAGNITUDE THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO REALLY DEFINE THE LETTER AND HAVE IT PLACED ON YOUR SEPTEMBE.

JUST A CONSENT ITEM. THE REASON FOR THAT IS LIKELY TO

[02:20:09]

SO I JUST WANTED TO BRIEF YOU ON THAT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS BUT IT WOULD BE MY INTENT TO WORK WITH THAT AND HAVE THAT PLACE IN YOUR VERY NICE AGENDA. UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS

ABOUT THAT. >> ANY COMES ON BOARD?

>> THANK YOU MR. CHAIR I AM PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HIRE A GREAT NEW ATTORNEY MS. JOE LISA FERGUSON, WHO IS WITH US TODAY.

[Clerk of Court’s Report]

TODAY. >> OKAY THANK YOU, SO I AM GOING TO GO BRIEFLY TO THE CLERK OF COURT REPORTS DO HAVE ANYTHING FROM THE CLERK OF COURTS? I MEANT TO DO THIS IN MY COMMENTS, I GOT SIDETRACKED. WE TALKED ABOUT OTHER ISSUES.

I SPOKE WITHOUT CLERK OF COURT MR. PATTY LAST WEEK, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF MATTERS THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO BRING TO OUR ATTENTION APART FROM OUR BUDGET. SO HE HAD MADE A REQUEST THAT WE LOOKED AT MAY BE MOVING THAT, YOU KNOW WE HAVE A PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFING WITH A SHERIFF IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, AND BRIEF US.

SO WITH THE BOARD BLESSING AND CONSENT I AM GOING TO START MOVING THOSE CLERK REPORTS OF THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING, SO THAT WAY OF MR. PATTY HAS SOMETHING TO BRING TO OUR ATTENTION. HE CAN THEN BRING IT TO OUR ATTENTION AND THEN WE WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY.

THE CLERK OF COURTS IS A VERY IMPORTANT ROLE IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT AS OF THE COMPTROLLER, AND SOME OTHER MATTERS, SO IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO MAKE SURE WE ARE HERE AND THOSE REPORTS IN A TIMELY MANNER.

SO IF THE BOARD AGREES WE WILL MOVE THAT.

THAT IS OUR AGENDA WE USUALLY SAVE IT TO THE VERY END SO WE WILL MOVE TO THE BEGINNING OF THE AGENDA IS DISCUSSION OR THOUGHT PROCESS ON THAT? OKAY EVERYONE AGREES, SO GOING FORWARD WE WILL
