AND SO I WILL ASK THE BOARD MEMBERS AND STAFF TO STATE YOUR NAME AND TIMES YOU WILL BE

IS THAT A QUORUM? I GUESS I SHOULD KNOW THAT. I'D LIKE TO APPROVE THE APRIL
[Item 2]
MEETING MINUTES THAT YOU RECEIVED IN YOUR PACKETS. IF THE MOTIONING MEMBER CAN STATE YOUR NAME FIRST SO WE CAN RECOGNIZE THEM AFTER WHICH YOU STATE THE MOTION AND THEN THE SAME FOR THE SECOND AND THEN I'LL CALL FROM A VOTE FROM EACH MEMBER WHOM I CALL YOUR NAMERESPOND WITH A YEA OR A NAY. SO I WILL ASK FOR A MOTION. >> AL GU IDO.
>> AND I NEED A SECOND -- GUIDO. >> I HAVE A CORRECTION. >> PLEASE.
>> I HAVE A CORRECTION. >> GO AHEAD, AL. >> I AM NOT LISTED AS PRESENT BY
A CONS CALL. I'M PRETTY SURE I WAS THERE. >> OH, WE REMEMBER YOU.
>> THANK YOU. [LAUGHING] IF COULD YOU MAKE THAT
ADJUSTMENT, EMILY? >> WITH THAT CORRECTION I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE
MINUTES. >> I NEED A SECOND. >> HERB WATSON SECOND.
>> SO I'LL ASK, I'LL READ THE NAMES AND WE'LL ASK FOR YOUR VOTE YEA OR NAY.
>> ANYONE ELSE FROM THE BOARD JOINING US? MY VOTE IS ALSO YEA.
THE MINUTES ARE APPROVED. WE'LL MOVE ON TO PUBLIC COMMENTS.
OH, BEFORE I START, I DO WANT TO ASK. THIS IS VERY WELL SCRIPTED BECAUSE OF THE, YOU KNOW, THE TELECONFERENCE NATURE OF THE MEETING.
AND I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO IT OUT ON MY OWN. DIANE GORSKY I FORGOT TO THANK HER LAST WEEK FOR SCRIPTING IT OUT FOR ME AND SCRIPTING IT OUT AGAIN SO WE CAN MAKE IT EFFICIENT. THANK YOU, DIANE. CALL FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS NOW.
IF ANYONE HAS CALLED IN, IF YOU COULD GIVE US YOUR FULL NAME AND ADDRESS AND WE'LL GIVE YOU THE
FLOOR FOR THREE MINUTES. >> I'M NOT SURE. WE HAVE NO PUBLIC COMMENTS.
[Item 4]
WE'RE GOOD TO GO. SCIL SYDNEY TO GIVE US A -- I WILL ASK SYDNEY TO GIVE US A REPORT. SYDNEY, IF YOU COULD INCLUDE ANY UPDATES ON THOSE EVENTS THAT WE HAVE APPROVED FOR FUNDING THAT HAVE NOT YET TAKEN PLACE TO UNDERSTAND IF THEY ARE PROCEEDING. IF YOU HAVE THAT INFORMATION, AND THEN ALSO TO TALK ABOUT, IF YOU COULD, THE DISCUSSIONS THAT WE HAVE HAD OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS OF IMPROVING THE PROCESS IN TERMS OF REPORTING AND POST-EVENT REPORTING. THANK YOU, SYDNEY.>> SO FOR THE ONES THAT WERE DURING THE COVID RESTRICTIONS, THEY HAVE RESCHEDULED TO SEPTEMBER 13TH. TWO OF THE PERFECT GAME TOURNAMENTS WERE NOT ABLE TO BE HELD, ONE IN APRIL, ONE IN MAY. WE HAVE NOT HEARD IF THEY ARE GOING TO BE SCHEDULED AT THIS TIME. THIS WEEKEND IS THEIR SUNSHINE STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS, WHICH WAS ON JUNE 12TH THROUGH THE 14TH, AS WELL AS OLD SCHOOL KING SHOOT-OUT, WHICH WAS HELD FROM THEIR HUB MEETING ON THE 12TH AND ACTUAL TOURNAMENT ON THE 13TH THIS WEEKEND.
[00:05:02]
AND THEN EVERYTHINGS WAS APPROVED RIGHT NOW WAS STILL SCHEDULED.>> SYDNEY, IF YOU COULD SEND TO EMILY THE NUMBERS THAT TO UPDATE THE ANNUAL NUMBERS THAT WE REPORTED LAST, LAST MONTH IN THE MEETING NOTES TO INCLUDE TO INCLUDE THE PENDING DOLLARS THAT WE'VE APPROVED NOTHING HAS BEEN SPENT JUST SO THAT WE HAVE THOSE THREE NUMBERS.
WHAT WE'RE ASKED, WHAT WAS SPENT, WHAT WAS COMMITTED TO AND WHAT HAS NOT BEEN SPENT BECAUSE
OF COVID. >> RIGHT, OK. NO PROBLEM.
>> AND THE UPDATE ON THE PROCESS. I SPOKE WITH DINA THE BEGINNING OF THIS WEEK, LAST WEEK. WE ARE GOING TO ADD ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE FOR MORE SPECIFIC MARKETING REQUIREMENTS. THEY REDID THEIR ARTS AND CULTURE HERITAGE GRANTS, SO WE'RE KIND OF GOING TO MIMIC THAT WITH THEIR REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MARKETING.
AND THEN WE WILL CHANGE THE POST-VENT FORUM TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND TO REQUIRE THEM TO LIST WHICH HOTELS THEY ACTUALLY USED. WE HAVE BEEN USING THE BCB MORE FREQUENTLY IN THESE EVENTS THAN WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST, SO THERE ARE ACTUAL HARD NUMBERS, THEY HAVE TO USE A CERTAIN CODE THAT THEY TELL US THAT WE DO USE.
>> WE'LL GO THROUGH AND ASK FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD.
JILLIAN? >> I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION. SO FOR MONEYS THAT WE APPROVED BUT WE'RE NOT USED DUE TO COVID IS, THE EXPECTATION THAT WE WOULD HONOR THAT MONEY OR ASK THEM TO REAPPLY? EXAMPLE, IF THEY DO NOT HAVE AN EVENT THIS YEAR BUT WAIT AND DO
IT NEXT YEAR WORKS WE HONOR THAT MONEY? >> SO IF THEY RESCHEDULE THEIR EVENT IT HAS TO OCCUR IN THIS FISCAL YEAR TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE MONEY THEY WERE AWARDED THIS YEAR. SO IF THEY DO NOT HAVE THE EVENT BEFORE SEPTEMBER 30TH THEIR MONEY IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT. SO NEXT YEAR THEY WOULD HAVE TO
REAPPLY. >> OK, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, GILLIAN.
AL? >> NO, NOTHING. THANK YOU.
>> BURT? >> NOTHING AT THIS TIME. >> THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, SYDNEY. FOR MY CHAIR REPORTS, I'M GOING TO -- I'VE GOT TWO ISSUES I WANT
[Item 5]
TO TALK ABOUT. THE FIRST IS WE MENTIONED SITE VISITS.AL HAD A GREAT RECOMMENDATION THAT WE COULD CONSIDER THOSE WORKSHOPS, AS OPPOSED TO REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETINGS, AND SO I THINK WE SHOULDED ON THAT, BUT POST AND THESE WOULD OBVIOUSLY BE HELD POST-COVID. THE TWO PLACES I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SITE VISITS ON WHEN IT'S APPROPRIATE, WHEN IT'S SAFE, WHEN WE'RE AT A POINT WR IT'S APPROPRIATE, WOULD BE THE GOLF COURSE -- WHERE IT'S APPROPRIATE WOULD BE THE GOLF COURSE. IN TERMS OF THE GOLF COURSE AND THIS WILL COME UP LATER I BELIEVE IN THE AGENDA, BUT WE ALSO WANT TO GET UPDATE PNLS FOR THE GOLF COURSE BEFORE WE WOULD HAVE THOSE MEETINGS, AS WELL AS ANY FINANCIALS FOR THE CENTER AND POOL PROGRAM THAT CAME UP IN THE BUDGET MEETING. WHAT I'D LIKE IS IF YOU COULD -- IF YOU COULD SEND YOUR IDEAS TO THE FACILITIES AND LOCATIONS WHERE YOU WOULD RECOMMENDED A WORKSHOP OR A SITE VISIT TO EMILY, WE WILL GO AHEAD AND ASK FOR A LIST OF THOSE AND WE WILL START THE CALENDARED TRY TO FIGURE THAT OUT WHEN THE TIMING IS APPROPRIATE.
AGAIN, NOT PUTTING YOU ON THE SPOT ASKING YOU TO GIVE EMILY THOSE THINGS TODAY.
BUT IF YOU COULD -- IF YOU KNOW SOME, THAT'S GREAT. OTHERWISE, JUST SHOOT HER AN E-MAIL WHEN YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY AND WE'LL SET UP A MASTER LIST.
THE SECOND COMMENT I HAVE IS I'VE ASKED EMILY TO INCLUDE IN THE PACKAGE, WHAT YOU RECEIVED THE ANNUAL REPORT AS REQUIRED BY BYLAWS TO BE SENT BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
OBVIOUSLY, WITH COVID AND EVERYTHING ELSE WE'VE GOT TO PASS ON THE STRICT, YOU KNOW, THE CHRONOLOGICAL TIMELINE OF THAT. THE OBJECTIVE I THINK IS TO KEEP IT FAIRLY SIMPLE AND LIMIT IT TO ONE PAGE. WHEN WE GO THROUGH THIS, WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS ASK YOU IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THAT ANNUAL REPORT THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, WHAT WE DID LAST YEAR AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO DO NEXT YEAR.
AND THEN ONCE THAT IS PREPARED SET UP THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND WE WILL ALSO START LOOKING AT DEVELOPING KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS AND MET THRAKS TIED UP THE OBJECTIVES THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED FOR -- METRICS THAT TIED UP THE OBJECTIVES THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED
[00:10:03]
FOR 2021. I'LL GO AROUND THE BOARD NOW. GILLIAN?>> NO COMMENT. >> AL? >> I THINK IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.
I'D LIKE TO SEE IT GO THAT WAY. >> THANK YOU. >> BO?
BO IS NOT -- SORRY, BURT. >> I AGREE WITH AL. VERY GOOD, BUT NO COMMENT.
>> SO LET ME JUST -- LET ME DO IT THIS WAY. LET ME GO BACK THROUGH THE FOUR OF US AND ASK YOU IF YOU'RE GOOD TO SEND IT TO THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, AS IT'S
WRITTEN. -- GILLIAN? >> I AGREE WITH SENDING IT OVER.
>> BURT? >> THANK YOU. EMILY, I DON'T KNOW THE PROCESS ON THAT. COMMISSIONER, HOW WOULD THAT BE RECEIVED BY YOU GUYS?
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT GOES ON THE CONSENT AGENDA? >> UNLESS WE ASK FOR IT.
>> OK. SO EMILY, YOU UNDERSTAND THE OR YOU CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROCESS ON THAT? THANKS. I APPRECIATE THAT.
ALL RIGHT. JOY ANDREWS IS NOT WITH HER. I SAW ON THE PAPER SHE'S GOT A NEW JOB. SHE'S IN CHARGE OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OR SOMETHING?
>> YES. I IMAGINE THAT'S GIVING HER SOME TIME.
COMMISSIONER WALDRON? >> JUST TO BRING EVERYTHING STARTING -- BAIK THINK WE GOT MOST OF THE PARKS BACK ANY LEAKS IF THEY HAVE AN APPROVED PROCESS OF COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS.
I KNOW WE'RE WORKING ON GYMNASIUMS AND EVERYTHING ELSE NOW.
ONE THING I DID WANT TO POINT OUT THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR THE OLD KING SCHOOL CHALLENGE THAT WE HELPED WITH A GRANT. I TALKED TO THEM YESTERDAY. THEY ALREADY HAVE 500 VOTES.
>> WHAT'S THE DATE ON THAT? >> SATURDAY. IF YOU PLAN ON GOING SATURDAY, AS OF YESTERDAY I TALKED TO THE GENTLEMAN PUTTING THE TOURNAMENT ON THEY HAD WHERV IS A TREMENDOUS -- HAD EVERYBODY ON WHICH IS TREMENDOUS. THEY CAN GO OUT ANYWHERE FROM MAY 4TH, BUT THE MAJORITY WILL BE HERE. I THINK IT'S A GREATEE THE.
IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS, CONTACT S. >> QUESTIONS FOR THE
COMMISSIONER. GILLIAN? >> NO QUESTIONS.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S APPROPRIATE NOW BUT WHAT COMMISSIONER WALDRON SAID.
I HAVE A SHORT COMMENT AND I'D LIKE HIS RESPONSE IF I COULD. >> SURE.
>> YOU KNOW, BASICALLY, I AM OF AN AGE WHERE WE ARE CONSIDERED TO BE EXPENDABLE.
THE INFECTIONS FROM THE VIRUS ARE RISING IN THIS STATE AT A REALLY INCREASING RATE AND WE'RE UP TO LIKE I THINK EITHER FIFTH, SIXTH OR SEVENTH IN THE UNITED STATES AND IS STILL GOING UP.
I AM CONCERNED HOW THE COUNTY IS MOVING FROM -- TO THE DETRIMENT OF OUR CITIZENS.
I THINK ANY OF YOU THAT HAVE GONE TO THE SUPERMARKET RECENTLY AND HAVE BEEN AS APPALLED AS I'VE BEEN WITH THE CITIZENS, THE LOCAL RESIDENTS ARE WEARING MASKS AND THEY ARE TRYING TO KEEP SOCIAL DISTANCING AND THE TOURISTS ARE DISRESPECTING -- DISRESPECTING US.
AND IT'S VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. WE BARELY SURVIVED THE WEEKEND DOWN HERE WHERE IT TOOK ME 25 MINUTES TO GET A HALF A MILE OUT OF MY HOUSE. WE'VE GOT THE FOURTH OF JULY COMING UP. THAT CONCERNS ME. WE'VE GOT THE POSSIBILITY OF PART OF A REPUBLICAN CONVENTION BEING HELD IN AUGUST, AND THEN WE HAVE LABOR DAY.
I AM -- I AM REALLY CONCERNED AS THE WAY WE'RE GOING HERE, YOU KNOW? I HATE TO SAY THAT WE'VE STUCK OUR HEAD IN THE SAND BY DECLARING IT'S OVER WHEN IT'S NOT OVER. AND IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING TO ME, TO MY NEIGHBORS, WHO ARE MOST OF THEM ARE YOUNGER THAN ME, WHO ARE AS CONCERNED AS I AM, AS TO WHAT'S HAPPENING.
[00:15:09]
I AM VERY, VERY FRUSTRATEED. YOU KNOW, I TALKED TO MY WIFE. WELL LET'S SEE IF WE CAN SURVIVE. I AM GETTING BEING HUNKERED DOWN OF LITERALLY TO PUT OFF WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE NECESSARY TRIPS JUST BECAUSE I CAN'T MOVE AROUND THIS TOWN BECAUSE OUR HOTELS ARE NEARLY AT CAPACITY. OUR BEACHES ARE ABSOLUTELY JAMMED.I DON'T KNOW. AM I OUT THERE BY MYSELF, PAUL? I DON'T KNOW.
>> MR. ALLEN, I THINK THIS MIGHT BE A BETTER DISCUSSION WE HAVE OFF THE RECORD NOT AT A PARKS AND REC MEETING. I DON'T KNOW THIS IS THE PLACE TO DISCUSS MY THOUGHTS.
IT'S STILL A STATE HEALTH INITIATIVE. WHAT THE STATE IS OPENED UP WITH THE SHORT-TERM RENTALS AND THE HOTELS AND OPENING BACK UP FACILITIES.
AS FOR THE STRAIN BACK ON OUR INFRASTRUCTURE WHICH WE HAVE EVERY SUMMER.
YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS POSITIVE TESTS OUR PERCENTAGE OF POSITIVE TESTS HAS REALLY STAYED AROUND 2.2, 2.1. THERE IS AN INCREASE IN TESTING THAT'S GOING ON.
I CAN'T SPEAK FOR STATEWIDE ISSUES ON THAT. ST. JOHN'S COUNTY HAS HAD A FEW MORE CASES BUT WE HAVEN'T HAD A JUMP AS IN OTHER PLACES WE'VE MAINTAINED.
OUR PERCENTAGE OF TESTS HAS INCREASED BUT OUR PERCENTAGE OF POSITIVE HAS STAYED LOW.
WE HAVE FLATTENED THE CURVE BUT LIKE I SAID I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT AAND GO THROUGH NUMBERS BUT I DON'T KNOW PARKS AND REC MEETING IS THE PLACE TO DO THAT.
>> IF I COULD JUST JUMP IN A SECOND. IT DOES RAISE THE QUESTION THOUGH COMMISSIONER, WE HAVE 500 BOATS COMING THIS WEEK CHEND IS GREAT FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTED SUCCESSIVE WHAT WE ALL I THINK -- WEEKEND WHICH IS GREAT FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND SUCCESSIVE, WHAT WE CALL I THINK IS AN APPROVAL -- ARE THOSE EVENTS REQUIRED AND MAYBE THIS IS A QUESTION FOR SYDNEY AS WELL -- ARE THOSE EVENTS REQUIRED TO GIVE A COVID PROTECTION PLAN FOR LACK OF A BETTER PHRASE? IS THAT PART OF THE REQUIREMENTS?
>> WELL THEY DO HAVE -- SYDNEY CAN CERTAINLY ANSWER THIS. MOST ARE NOT DOING THE -- [INAUDIBLE] THE WAY IT'S GOING TO BE HANDLED DIFFERENTLY WHERE THERE'S NOT A BIG AMOUNT OF PEOPLE. THERE IS GOING TO BE SOCIAL DISTANCING.
BOATS ARE NOT CHECK OUT THE SAME TIME. THEY ARE CHECKING OUT AT THREE DIFFERENT INLET'S. SO THOSE SAFEGUARDS ARE IN PLACE.
YOU KNOW, WE'RE STILL GOING TO BE BACKED BOATS AND WE HAVE BEEN EVERY WEEK.
>> SURE YES. SO THE ORIGINAL PLAN THAT WE HAVE ALTERED TO COMPLY WITH THE COVID REQUIREMENTS. THEY ARE NOT HAVING THE FORMAL CAPTAIN'S MEETING WITH EVERYONE THAT'S GROUPED. YOU GO TO THE WEBSITE THEY HAVE THIS ALL LAID OUT WITH THE TIME FRAMES AS WELL. BUT I THINK IT'S ABOUT FIVE HOURS WHERE THE CAPTAINS CAN COME IN AND ARE JUST GOING TO DRIVE UP TO THE PIER, CHECK IN, THEY GET THEIR INFORMATION AND THEY LEAVE. SO THERE'S NOT A GATHERING OF PEOPLE.
AGAIN, THEY CAN LAUNCH FROM ANY BOAT RAMP THEY WOULD LIKE IN THREE DIFFERENT COUNTIES.
ALL OF THOSE BOAT RAMPS ARE LISTED ON THEIR WEBSITE AS WELL SO IT ALLEVIATES CONGESTION AT JUST ONE BOAT RAMP. I MEAN A LOT WILL BE PACKED. WE ALSO HAVE A ST. JOHN'S COUNTY SHERIFFS DEPUTY LANDING STARTING AT 5:30 IN THE MORNING ON THAT SATURDAY.
WE HAVE ALSO MOVED THEIR AWARDS CEREMONY OFF SANTEDS COUNTY PROPERTY AND USING A PRIVATE VENUE SO AGAIN -- ST. JOHN'S -- AND SO THE GATHERERS WILL BE NOT IN ST. JOHN'S COUNTY.
>> RIGHT BUT THEY ARE STILL GATHERING, RIGHT? WE WOULD ASK THEM TO BE CAUTIOUS AND SOCIALLY DISTANT AT THAT EVENT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I DO HAVE A QUESTION YOU PROBABLY ARE NOT CAPABLE OF ANSWERING BUT IF IT'S GOING TO BE THAT PACKED WITH BOATS AND
PEOPLE SHOULD WE HAVE A TESTING SITE THERE? >> I KNOW.
I PREFACED IT BY SAYING IT'S PROBABLY NOT A FAIR QUESTION FOR YOU.
I MEAN IS, THAT SOMETHING -- >> THAT WOULD BE MORE TO ME A STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT
QUESTION. >> BUT IS IT A QUESTION WE SHOULD BE ASKING? I MEAN, YOU GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE IN ONE SPOT. WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT AND I'M
[00:20:02]
FOLLOWING UP ON AL'S CONCERN BECAUSE I'M REALLY CLOSE TO THAT EXPENDABLE GENERATION.IS THAT SOMETHING WHERE SOCIAL TRACING SHOULD BE, YOU KNOW, SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED POST-EVENT? I'M JUST ASKING -- ASKING THE QUESTION OF SOMEBODY WOULD IS
ALSO CONCERNED. >> IT'S A GOOD QUESTION BUT THAT'S MORE OF A STATE HEALTH
HAD CONCERN. >> COMMISSIONER, LET ME ASK THE QUESTION.
WHO SHOULD WE ASK -- WHO SHOULD ASK THAT QUESTION AND WHO SHOULD IT BE ASKED OF?
>> IT SHOULD BE ASKED OF THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. >> THE FIRST PART WHO FROM ST.
JOHN'S COUNTY SHOULD BE ASKING THAT QUESTION FOR AN EVENT AT A COUNTY RECREATION FACILITY?
>> THE EVENT NOT AT A COUNTY RECREATION FACILITY. >> BOAT RAMP ISN'T IT?
>> THAT'S A NORMAL LAUNCH DAY. >> I FLAESH THE. >> BUT IT WILL BE PACKED, RIGHT?
>> IT'S PACKED EVERY SATURDAY. -- I APPRECIATE THAT. >> I AGREE, EVERY SATURDAY I GO
BY IT'S ACTUALLY MAXED OUT. >> WE HAVE A SHORTAGE OF BOAT RAMPS IN THE COUNTY.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE ASKING GOOD QUESTIONS, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S AN ANSWER THAT'S
FEASIBLE TO WHAT YOU'RE ASKING. >> MR. CHAIRMAN, AL AGAIN. I UNDERSTAND WHERE PAUL IS COMING FROM IN RESPONDING THAT THIS MAY NOT BE THE PROPER FORUM FOR MY STATEMENT.
HOWEVER, ONE OF OUR JUDGES IS -- I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE KIDS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
I AM REASONABLY HAPPY. I DON'T LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST OR NORTHWEST PART OF THIS COUNTY RIGHT NOW LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS THAT ARE WAY ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE COUNTY, AS FAR AS INFECTION. AND WE KNOW THAT IT HAS TO BE A SPILLOVER FROM JACKSONVILLE AND DUVAL. AND THE INTERFACE BETWEEN OUR COUNTY AND DUVAL COUNTY IS A LINE THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE. AND I THINK ONE OF OUR CHARGES IN LOOKING AT RECREATION AND LEISURE ACTIVITIES IS TO HAVE -- IS TO HAVE SOME CONCERN AS TO -- AS TO WHERE WE'RE GOING.
I MEAN, I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO TALK ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THEY OPEN THE SCHOOLS.
I'M MORE CONCERNED ABOUT OPENING UP OUR FIELDS TO ORGANIZE -- ORGANIZED SPORT.
AND I JUST -- I DON'T WANT PUT THE BRAKES ON IT, BUT I DON'T THINK -- I DON'T THINK WE CAN JUST MOVE IT LOCKSTEP WITH WHAT'S COMING OUT OF THE STATE. I THINK OUR COUNTY -- COWER COUNTY -- OUR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND OUR COUNTY ADMINISTRATION HAS SIGNIFICANT AUTHORITY TO PUT IN RULES THAT ARE ABOVE WHAT THE STATE IS DOING.
AND THAT'S REALLY MY COMMENT AND I'LL GET OFF MY SOAPBOX AND LET YOU GET BACK TO OTHER THINGS.
>> THANK YOU, AL. I'LL ALSO GET OFF YOUR SOAPBOX. THANKS FOR LETTING ME JOIN YOU.
BURT? >> NO, I DON'T HAVE ANY COMMENTS.
PARKS AND RECREATION, BUT I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT. WELL JUST TO RESPOND, MY COMMENT WAS MORE WITH THE BOAT RAMP AND SPECIFICALLY TYING AL'S GENERAL CONCERNS WITH A RECREATION SUPPORTED EVENT, BUT I APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT.
[Item 6]
WE'VE GOT NEW BUSINESS COMING UP. COMU, COMMISSIONER.WE HAVE NEW BUSINESS COMING UP. SYDNEY, IF YOU COULD TALK AND GIVE US A BEACH UPDATE.
I KNOW THERE WAS A BEACH OPERATIONS REVIEW THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE INFORMATION SENT
OUT. >> YES. SO I CAN JUST GO OVER THAT INFORMATION REAL QUICKLY WITH YOU GUYS. SO SOME COMPLETED PROJECTS AT THE BEACHES. WE HAVE OUR -- WE HAVE THE PIER IS FINISHED AND WE HAD SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDS. WE FINISHED THE DECKING THAT'S IN BETWEEN THE PIER GIFT SHOP, AND THE GIFT SHOP RESTROOMS. THAT AREAS EXPANDED A LITTLE BIT AS WELL.
THE RAMP CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETED AND OPENED NOW AS AN EXIT-ONLY VEHICLE RAMP.
AND THEN I PROVIDED SOME NUMBERS AWE SAW FROM MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.
[00:25:03]
THOSE ARE RECORD-BREAK NUMBERS, OVER 62% INCREASE JUST FROM FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY AND THE GIFT SHOP SAW OVER 25% INCREASE. ADDITIONALLY ON THE NEXT PAGE YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBERS FROM BOTH THIS YEAR AND LAST YEAR FOR TOLLS AND THE GIFT SHOP. ADDITIONALLY JUST TO SHOW AT CAPACITY CONDITIONS THAT WE HAD IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ST. JOHN'S SHERIFF'S OFFICE AS WELL AS THE CITY OF ST. AUGUST POLICE DEPARTMENT BOTH A LOT ON A-STREET VEHICLE ACCESS RAMPS ONLY CLOSED FOR TEMPORARY TIME FOR EACH DAY. STILL OPEN TO PEDESTRIANS BUT JUST TO CLOSE IT TO VEHICLES. A STREETS DUE TO FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE TRUCKS BEING STUCK AND CREATING A PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERN GETTING TOW TRUCKS OUT THERE AND GETTING THEM TURNED AROUND WHILE WE DIDN'T ALLOW ADDITIONAL CARS ONTO THE BEACH. WE OFFERED A SHUTTLE AS WELL AS AT THE PIER. THERE WAS SOME RIDERSHIP NUMBERS THERE ON THAT FORM AS WELL.AND JUST COMING UP WE DO HAVE THE JULY 4TH WEEKEND. WE EXPECT TO SEE SIMILAR NUMBERS IF NOT MORE AND WE DO OFFER THE HOLIDAY SHUTTLES FOR THAT WEEKEND AS WELL.
I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ANYONE HAS? >> YEAH, SYDNEY.
AT BUDGET MEETING, COMMISSIONER DEAN ASKED A QUESTION I THOUGHT WAS INTERESTING.
WE HAD SAID AS A COUNTY THAT BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE BOUGHT A BEACH PASS, SOME OF THE BEACHES WERE CLOSED THAT PASS BECAME GOOD FOR TWO YEARS. COMMISSIONER DEAN ASKED THE QUESTION WHY NOW THAT THE BREACHES BACK OPEN, WHY WOULD WE OFFER 2021 TO ANYBODY THAT BOUGHT A PASS WHEN THEY ARE REALLY NOT BEING INCONVENIENCED BY BEACH CLOSURES?
WAS THERE ANY FOLLOWUP TO THAT? >> THAT WAS THE DIRECTION WE WERE GIVEN BY ADMINISTRATION.
THERE WAS THE SCHEDULE THAT WAS AMENDED ON THAT LANGUAGE THAT CALLED 2020 PASSES WERE GOOD
THROUGH 2021. >> I GET THAT. I'M NOT TRYING TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT. I'M CURIOUS IF ANY CONVERSATIONS HAVE TAKEN PLACE SINCE COMMISSIONER DEAN ASKED THAT QUESTION OR IF -- IF THAT WAS -- THAT QUESTION -- BECAUSE THE QUESTION WASN'T ANSWERED. REFRESH MY MEMORY. I DON'T THINK THAT QUESTION WAS ANSWERED. IT WAS MORE OF AN OBSERVATION IN THE FORM OF A QUESTION.
>> WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT. >> OK.
IS THAT SOMETHING WE SHOULD BE ASKING? BECAUSE THAT'S A LOT OF REVS RIGHT? BUT IT WASN'T ANSWERED IS MY POINT -- REVENUE.
COMMISSIONER, DO YOU RECALL THAT? >> YEAH, THEY WENT BACK.
THEY WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT PWHAT WE VOTED ON. PARTS OF THAT WAS MORE OF A COULD BE A FINANCIAL HELP TO THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO BUY ONE THIS YEAR.
TO KEEP IT -- WE'RE DOING SO MANY GRANTS AND OTHER THINGS TO GIVE PEOPLE MONEY TO TRY TO HELP THEM OUT FINANCIALLY. I THINK WHEN WE VOTED THAT DISCUSSION THEY WENT BACK AND WATCHED THE TAPE, AND VOTED TO DO IT, TO KEEP THE PASS FOR TWO YEARS SO WPEOPLE
OUT IN FINANCIAL TIMES. >> OK. I'M GOING TO ASK -- TED, IF YOU COULD COME UP. WHAT I'M GOING TO DO FOR THE BOARD MEMBERS IS I WILL ASK.
I WILL HAVE TEDDY COME UP WITH COMMUNITY PROGRAM UPDATES AND SYDNEY STAY THERE BECAUSE I'LL GO THROUGH THE BOARD NEBZ THE INTEREST OF TIME TO -- BOARD MEMBERS IN THE INTEREST OF TIME
TO FOLLOW UP WITH ANY QUESTIONS. TEDDY? >> I HAVE THE PROJECT UPDATES.
I'LL LET JAMIE SPEAK TO THE PROGRAM UPDATES. BEACH SLASH PROJECT.
>> OK, THAT'S FAIR. NO, THAT'S FAIR. >> AFTER ANY QUESTIONS I CAN GIVE YOU A QUICK RUNDOWN. THE GAMBLE PROJECT IS ON SCHEDULE.
THE SIZE OF THE VING ACTUALLY PRETTY AMAZING. THE POLES WERE SET YESTERDAY.
AND THE PROJECT SHOULD BE DONE IN ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF TO TWO WEEKS.
THE DAVIS SIDEWALKS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WEATHER ARE BEHIND. ER 7.5% A WEEK BEHIND BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER AT THE WEST AUGUSTINE IS IN PERMIT BY THE SHADE STRUCTURE.
IT DOESN'T NEED A PERMIT BUT THED STRUCTURE DOES. WE ARE IN THE FINAL STAGES OF THE SHADE STRUCTURE BEING IMPLEMENTED AND THE ROAD NEEDS SOME DRAINAGE ADDED.
THEY SHOULD BE DONE AS SCHEDULED PER THE DIRECTLY. BOAT RAMPS, DRAINS, PERMITING.
THEY ARE THE ONES ON HOLD BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T. PALM VALLEY EAST AND WEST THAT
[00:30:05]
WILL BE IF JULY WILL BE NOTIFIED. WE DID FINISH ARMSTRONG, A BRAND NEW PLAYGROUND OUT THERE. WE'RE ON THE PROCESS OF ANNOUNCING IT, BUTETTES ALSO IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING A SIDEWALK ADDED TO IT AS WELL. SO WE KIND OF WANT TO COMBINE IT THE RIGHT WAY SO IT'S ACCE ACCESSIBLE. AT THE SAME TIME IT ANNOUNCED IT'SED PUBLIC RELATIONS WISE. AND ALSO THE CITY HIGHLIGHTED THE PIER PROJECTS.IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER ONES THAT HAVE QUESTIONS I CAN GIVE AN UPDATE.
>> JAMIE, IF YOU COULD COME UP AND GIVE US A PROGRAM UPDATE AND WE'LL ASK THE BOARD TO ASK ALL THREE OF YOU QUESTIONS. AGAIN, JUST IN THE INTEREST OF TIME.
>> SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE STARTED OFF OFFERING SOME NATURE PROGRAMS. SO WE GOT OUR PARK NATURALIST KELLY SIA HAVE OFFERED A COUPLE OF GUIDE WALKS.
WE'VE LIMITED OUR NUMBERS TO I BELIEVE ABOUT 15 BECAUSE ON THE WALKS WE CAN KEEP THE SOCIAL DISTANCING. WE ALSO OPENED UP SOME KAYAK TRIPS AS WELL.
STAFF SENT OUT INFORMATION TO THE RESIDENTS HAD A APPLIED FOR THOSES TO LET THEM KNOW THAT WE WILL COLLECT FEES WEARING FACE MASKS. WE'RE ONLY COLLECT USING CREDIT CARDS FOR PAYMENT. SURE, WE CAN JUST PUNCH IT HAD THE INFORMATION AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO TOUCH ANYTHING, TOUCHING CASH. ADDITIONALLY BEFORE EACH TRIP OUR STAFF WILL BE SANITIZING ALL THE KAYAK BOATS. WE HAVE STARTED IMPLEMENTING THAT. THAT WILL BE FOR JUNE AND JULY. THE SOLOMON CALHOUN CENTER OPENED UP AS WELL. THEY OPENED UP FOR A LAP SWIM. JUST YESTERDAY WE ACTUALLY EXPANDED THAT TO ALSO PROVIDE SOMETHING GROUP SWIM TIME. RESERVATIONS ARE GOING TO BE REQUIRED -- ARE REQUIRED FOR LAP SWIM, REQUESTED FOR THE FAMILY SWIM.
WE WILL TAKE WALK-UPS BASED ON AVAILABILITY IN THE POOL. THE YMCA HAS CAPS FOR THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THEY CAN HAVE IN THE POOL AT ONE TIME. WE'VE HELD OFF ON OPENING UP TO ANY SUMMER CAMPS. WE ARE WORKING WITH THE SWIM TEAMS TO GET ONE TEAM GROUP TO GET THEM BACK THIS THE POOL SO THEY CAN START HOLDING PRACTICES.
WE ARE LIMITING HOME TWO SWIMMERS PER LANE SO WE CAN ALSO KEEP PUBLIC LANES OPEN THAT HAVE ONE ADULT SWIMMER IN THEM AT ONE TIME. AND THEN WE DID MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT WE HAD CLOSED THE SUMMER CAMP. BOTH OF THE SUMMER CAMPS.
WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON SOME SOLUTIONS AND SOME ACTIVITY THAT WE CAN PROVIDE WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY CENTERS BUT CATALINA'S GYM, SOLOMON CALHOUN AND W.E. HARRIS.
WE ARE WORKING WITH ADMINISTRATION AND WITH MICHAEL RYAN PR TEAM TO TRY TO MAKE SURE THE MESSAGE THAT GOES OUT IS ACCURATE AND REFLECTS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO FOCUS ON WITH PROVIDE SOMETHING COMMUNITYIES WITHIN THE ACTIVITY. AND THAT'S ABOUT IT.
>> JAMIE, JUST A QUICK COMMENT AND A QUESTION AND I'LL PASS IT ON THE BOARD FOR SYDNEY, TEDDY AND JAMIE. MY PERSONAL COMMENT IS GOOD ONPE DEPARTMENT IS DOING A GOOD JOB KEEPING FOLKS APPRISED OF THE NATURE OPPORTUNITIES AND WHAT'S GOING ON WITH CAMPS AND COMMUNITY CONVERSATION STANDPOINT. I THINK YOU'RE DOING A GOOD JOB.
JUST A QUICK QUESTION. IS HIGH SCHOOL SWIM IS, THAT A FALL OR WINTER SPORT?
>> SO IT'S NOT HIGH SCHOOL SWIM. HIGH SCHOOL SWIM WOULD HAVE BEEN FALL AND THAT WOULD HAVE ALREADY -- YEAH. THAT ALREADY OCCURRED. SO RIGHT NOW I DON'T REMEMBER THEIR NAMES. CYCLONE. IT'S THE CYCLONE SWIM TEAM MULTIPAGE FROM YOUNG BEGIN ARE SWIMMERS UP TO HIGH SCHOOL SWIMMERS.
IT'S THE GROUP THAT THEY UTILIZE THE SOLOMON CALHOUN CENTER POOL FOR QUITE A BIT.
>> SAN PEED ROW AND THE HIGH SCHOOL USE THE CALHOUN CENTER AND THEY WILL BE USING IT IN THE FALL IF THAT'S CONSIDERED A PHASE TWO OR PHASE THREE SPORT I UNDERSTAND.
>> WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THAT FAR WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT YET THE THEY HAVEN'T CONTACTED US.
THAT WON'T HAPPEN UNTIL AUGUST. >> GOT IT. I'M ASSUMING THAT'S SOMETHING WE'LL HAVE PLANNED CONVERSATIONS WITH PAUL'S TEAM ABOUT. THANK YOU.
LET ME GO THROUGH THE TEAM FOR ANY QUESTIONS. WE HAVE SYDNEY HERE, TEDDY AND JAMIE ON BEACHES, CONSTRUCTION AND PROGRAMS. GILLIAN?
>> I JUST HAD ONE QUESTION FOR SYDNEY. WITH OFFICE EXTENDING BEACH PASSES THROUGH 21, ARE WE DOCUMENTING SOMEWHERE THAT WE'RE ANTICIPATING OUR REVENUE DECREASE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2 E -- '21-22 OR ARE WE ANTICIPATING THAT MONEY WILL BE MADE UP
[00:35:01]
SOMEWHERE ELSE? >> I THINK IT'S FORECASTED THERE WILL BE A DECREASE IN THE REVENUE. PASSES WILL MAKE UP 40% OF REVENUE.
SO CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. I BELIEVE THEY PUT THAT IN THE BUDGETS DISCUSSED THAT AT THE
BUDGET WORKSHOP. >> OK, THANK YOU. >> AL?
>> NO QUESTIONS. >> BURT? >> NO QUESTIONS, BUT I AGREE
WITH YOU AND BOB SOCIAL MEDIA IS AN EXCELLENT JOB. >> THANK YOU, BURT.
THANKS, GUYS. APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.
>> LET'S MOVE ONTO A BUFGHT THE SUMMARY REVIEW. THERE WAS A WORKSHOP IN PARKS AND REC PROBABLY A COUPLE OF HOURS AGO. I DID SEE THREE OR FOUR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AT THAT WORKSHOP. -- BUDGET. DOUG, CAN YOU GIVE US A REVIEW OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THAT WORKSHOP OF OVERALL FUNDING AND SPECIFIC ISSUES THAT CAME UP?
>> SURE. >> I THINK IN TERMS OF THE BUDGETS FAIRLY STATUS QOSMT THE BIG CAVEAT IS HOW COVID WILL IMPACT THE BUDGET GOING FORWARD. SO THAT I THINK IS SOMETHING THAT -- STATUS QUO. SOMETHING FINANCES IS LOOKING AT AND KNOWING WE'RE GOING TO BE SHUFFLING A LOT OF THINGS AROUND RELATIVE TO THE IMPACT, TOURISM, LOCAL TAXES IN THAT FINAL ANALYSIS. I'M SURE WE'RE FAR FROM DONE WITH LOOKING AT THE BUDGET AND HOW THAT FINAL PRODUCT WILL COME OUT. THE ONE THING THAT WAS ALSO IN YOUR PACKET WAS THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN WE WORKED ON. I WANT TO SHARE THAT WITH EVERYONE TO SEE THE LOGIC OF WHAT WE'RE DOING ON THE CAPITAL SIDE IN TERMS OF THE IMPACT ZONES AND WE WORKED REAL CLOSE WITH BUDGETS OFFICE ON LOOKING AT THESE FISCAL YEARS TRYING TO PROJECT IMPACT FEES ON WHAT IS A REASONABLE APPROACH AND STRATEGICALLY PLACED IN TERMS OF THE NEED AND ALSO THE REFLECTION ON THE MASTER PLAN FOR PARKS AND RACE.
SO AGAIN I FULLY EXPECT A LOT OF THIS WILL CHANGE GOING FORWARD DUE TO COVID AND CHANGES IN FUNDING. WE'V ALREADY SEEN ONE. I THINK WE HAD THE HOPE FOR PURSUING MORE CBD GRANTS. WE KIND OF CAME DOWN FROM A FULL PROJECT TO LOOKING AT JUST PLANTING MONEY AND CBDG MONEY IS NOW GOING TO SMALL BUSINESS LOANS SO IT WILL PROBABLY BE ANOTHER YEAR BEFORE WE GET BACK ON THAT FUNDING CYCLE. ALREADY THE IMFOOCT THAT AND AGAIN WE'RE FAR FROM A FINISHED PRODUCT -- IMPACT FROM THAT AND AGAIN WE'RE FAR FROM A FINISHED
PRODUCT OPERATIONALLY WITH CAPITAL. >> COUPLE OF QUICK QUESTIONS, DOUG. FIRST ON THE CONSTRUCTION AND PROCESS PROJECTS.
IS A LOT OF THESE FUNDING SOURCES ARE LISTED AS GENERAL FUNDS.
AND IS THE GENERAL FUND SURPLUS AT RISK BECAUSE OF COVID REVENUES TO AT THEY? IN OTHER WORDS, ARE SOME OF THESE CONSTRUCTION AND PROCESS PROJECTS AND TIMELINES GOING TO NEED TO BE REVISITED BECAUSE THE FUNDING IS NOT GOING TO BE THERE BECAUSE OF SHORTFALLS IN THE
GENERAL FUND DUE TO COVID? >> I THINK THAT THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN.
ONE THING WE DID DO AS SOON AS ALL COVID STARTED, WE STARTED SWEEPING THE BUDGET AND TAKING OUT THINGS WE COULD THIS YEAR. AND SAVE FUNDS FOR THE FUTURE. YOUR PROPERTY TAXES AREN'T GOING TO CHANGE IT YEAR BECAUSE YOU PAY IN ARREARS. BUT YEAH.
I DON'T KNOW THE PHYSICAL YEAR EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD. WE DON'T KNOW THE EXACT WE'VE GOT CUGHTS WITH DOLLARS AND SALES TAX WE'VE CUT THOSE DOLLARS ALREADY AND SALES IMPORTANT. WE GET A HALF CELL WE'LL SEE HOW IT GOALS.
YOU WON'T GO KNOW. YOU MAY SEE THE BUDGET REVISITED I DON'T KNOW OF ANY PRO SQLECTS THAT WE'VE GOT THAT WE TALKED ABOUT. -- PROJECTS.
>> I APPRECIATE THAT. DOUG CAN YOU ALSO TALK FOR JUST A MINUTE WITH THE MARITIME GRANT
THAT REQUIRED 100% IS THAT STILL IN THE PROCESS. >> COP THAT AND DEFERRED IS RELATIVE TO THE COVID SITUATION. SO WE ALSO FELT ONE PRIORITY AND THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS LINED UP SO WE'RE TRYING PROCEED WITH THOSE AND WORKING ON PERMITING FOR FOR PALM VALLEY
[00:40:06]
WEST AS WELL AS ON PLANNING STAGES FOR THE WEST. PARK MOVING FORWARD AND PERMITING ALL THOSE PROJECTS WILL HELP YOU AFTER THE BOARD AND PERMITING PROCESS.>> JUST ONE QUESTION WITH THE BUDGET RELATIVE TO THIS BOARD'S OPPORTUNITY TO, YOU KNOW, TO HAVE A TRANSPARENCY ANY CHANGES PROPOSAL, DECISIONS. ACTUALLY GET ALL THE CONVERSATION OFFICERS THE BUDGET BOOK AND MORE MEETINGS STARTING IN SEPTEMBER.
AND WE'LL WORK ON IT. REVISE AND MAKE SURE IT'S ON. >> THANK YOU, PAUL.
RELATIVE TO THE BUDGET. GILLIAN? ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?
>> NO QUESTIONS THANK YOU. >> SNAL. >> NO QUESTIONS.
>> BURT? >> THANK YOU. >> NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS IMPACT FEES. I ASKED DOUG TO GIVE THIS GROUP A INTRODUCTION IMPACT FEES AND THE BOARD SPECIAL NATURE OF THE TIMING OF THIS MEETING AND IT MAY BE A GOOD IDEA TO KIND OF REVISIT WHAT IMPACT FEES ARE. DOUG MAYBE WE SHOULD POSTPONE THIS TO HAVE A BET ARE PARTICIPATION BECAUSE I'M THINKING MORE THAT AND QUESTIONS OF ZONING, WHAT THE ZONES MEAN
ON WHAT THE RESTRICTIONS ON THE DOLLARS ARE THE PROJECT? >> AND BOARD MEMBERS ON THIS
CALL AN OPPORTUNITY TO WEIGH IN IF THEY HAVE GOT IMPACT FEES. >> I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
>> BURT? >> NOTHING AT THIS TIME. >> LET ME JUST ASK AT THIS TIME IF ANYBODY ELSE HAS JOINED IN I WANT TO CONFIRM NONE OF THE BOARD MEMBERS ARE CALLED AND I'M
SKIPPING. >> GOOD, BRAD. THANK YOU.
I APPRECIATE THAT. I'LL GET YOU. DID YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BY THE WAY JUMPING BACK IN FAIRNESS IN SOME OF THE OTHER DISCUSSIONS?
>> I DID NOT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.
I APPRECIATE THAT. EMILY IF COULD YOU PUT THAT ON NEXT MONTH'S AGENDA, PLEASE.
>> NAMING AND SPONSORSHIP POLICY DOUG. >> EVERYONE RECEIVED A FULL POLICY IN THE PACKET AS WELL AS A SHEET OF -- SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS FOR KEY AREAS OF CHANGES HERE. AND WHERE WE ARE IN THIS JESS AND BRING BACK AND MAKE CHANGES IN THE AREA AND A LOT OF THOUGHT HERE AS WE GET FOUNDATION UP AND RUNNING.
PERHAPS HELP DOANORS IN THE FUTURE. SO RIGHT NOW THE RESTRICTION IS THAT IT MUST BE A FACILITY CANNOT BE NAMED AFTER A LIVING PERSON.
THEY MUST BE DECEASED FOR 12 MONTHS. SO THE EXCEPTION HERE IS THAT IT SHALL NOT BE NAMED FOR LIVING PERSONS IN THE EVENT ANY INDIVIDUAL BUSINESS OR ORGANIZATION HAS DONATED THE LAND FOR A NEW PARK, DONATED AT LEAST 50% THE COST OF DEVELOPING THE PARK OR FACILITY AND ESTABLISHED A MAINTENANCE AND POLICY AND PROJECTED MAINTENANCE COSTO YOU CAN SEE IT'S A PRETTY HIGH LEVEL OF DONATIONS TO EARN THAT RIGHT FOR THAT NAME. AND AGAIN IT'S SOMETHING TO LOOK AT IN WORKING WITH THE FOUNDATION. THE SECOND AREA IS REALLY KIND OF RELATESED THERE IN TERMS OF DECEASED FOR ONE YEAR -- RELATED. THAT THIRD ITEM DOWN ON YOUR
[00:45:03]
LITTLE SPREADSHEET THERE. AND THE LAST ITEM WHICH IS KIND OF THE CAVEAT OF BEING NAMED SOMETHING AFTER A LIVING PERSON. A LOT OF UNIVERSITIES HAVE VERY SIMILAR LANGUAGE TO THIS IN TERMS OF LOOKING IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO A PERSON. THE COUNTY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO NAME A REQUEST OR REVERSE A NAMING DECISION, SHOULD THE INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS OR ORGANIZATIONS AFTER WHICH THE PARK FACILITIES ARE NAMED OR IS TO BE NAMED BE SHOWN TO BE FOUND HIGH CRIMES OR VALUES OF THE MISSION OF THE COUNT IN THE CASE OF FACILITY NAMED AFTER A DONOR FAILURE TO PERFORM THE GIFTS OF THE AGREEMENT.SO YOU HAVE THE KIND OF THE CAVEAT THERE TOO IF SOMETHING DOES GET NAMED THAT SOMETHING OF THAT PERSON AS WE'VE SEEN HAPPEN HISTORICALLY, GIVES THE COUNTY THAT ABILITY TO MAKE THAT CHANGE THAT IF THEY WOULD SO DESIRE. SO AGAIN, THIS IS THE FIRST DRAFT.
IT'S NOT GONE TO THE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE YET AND WE'RE GOING TO GET IMPACT INTEREST THE BOARD AND BAKES CONCEPTS HERE AND ANY OTHER IDEAS OR CHANGES. COMBINED POLICY FOR NAJ SPONSORSHIP AND MEMORIAL PUT IT IN ONE PLACE FOR DONATING GOODS AND SERVICES TO THE COUNTY.
>> SO WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING DOUG OR WHAT YOU'RE ASKING COMMENT FROM US FOR WHAT'S BEEN SUPPLIED AND THE NEXT STEP WOULD THAN IT WOULD GO TO THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE FOR A REVIEW
WOULD COME BACK TO THIS BOARD? >> RIGHT. >> IS THAT THE PROCESS THE WAY WE'RE OUTLINING IT? MY ONLY COUNTY IS AND I'M FAR FROM I'VE LOOKED AT THIS INFORMATION AND MY ONLY CONCERN IS THAT ARE CAREFUL THAT WE DON'T GET EXCLUDE FOLKS WHO HAVE MADE CONTRIBUTIONS BETWEEN MONETARY, THAT WE KEEP -- THAT WE KEEP OPEN THE OPPORTUNITY FOR FOLKS WHO GIVE BEYOND MONETARY OR MADE COMMITMENTS TO THIS COUNTY THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF JUST WRITING A CHECK. THAT WE NAN AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR RECOGNITION.
AND I'M NOT SUGGESTING ANY SPECIFIC THING -- MAINTAIN. JUST IN A GENERAL THEE RECEIPTIC SENSE WE DON'T JUST MAKE ABOUT THE DOLLARS ALTHOUGH I LIKE THE DOLLARS.
>> YEAH, WE DO HAVE A LITTLE MORE DEFINITION IN TERMS OF THE CRITERIA FOR NAMING.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE THIRD, FOURTH COLUMN DOWN THERE IT LOOKS AT THE LAND OF MONETARY AND FORM OF EXTRAORDINARY PUBLIC SERVICE, OUTSTANDING COMMUNITY LEADERS, OUTSTANDING STATEWIDE.
SO THERE'S JUST A LITTLE MORE FRAMEWORK THERE TO GIVE THE BOARD SOME CRITERIA TO REVIEW
APPLICATIONS FOR NAMING. >> I APPRECIATE THAT. LET ME GO AROUND ANY COMMENTS OR
QUESTIONS FOR DOUG. GILLIAN? >> DID I HAVE ONE QUESTION.
DOUG, WITH THIS POLICY AND YOU BROUGHT UP THE FOUNDATION. IS THE EXPECTATION THAT SOMEONE FROM THE FOUNDATION WOULD BE THE FIRST LINE TO ADDRESS SOME OF THESE ARE A PERSON WANTING SOMETHING NAMED AFTER HER, A LOVED ONE. AND THEN IT WOULD COME TO RECOGNIZE THE REWARD COULD YOU JUST EXPLAIN HOW YOU ENSTHRATION WOULD HAPPEN?
>> YES. SO IT IS VERY MUCH TRYING TO GET SORT OF THE FOUNDATION'S PROCESS LINED UP WITH WHAT THE COUNTY WILL ACCEPT. BECAUSE IT COULD WELL BE IN THE FUTURE FOUNDATION WORKS WITH THE DONOR. THE DONOR WOULD LIKE SOMETHING NAMED AFTER HIM. OBVIOUSLY, WHAT THE FUNDS TOATION'S GOAL WOULD BE TO HELP ACCEPT THAT DONATION AND THEN TRANSFER IT TO THE COUNTY SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THOUGHTS HERE IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE A CONFLICT BETWEEN WHAT THE FOUNDATION DOLL AND ULTIMATE
TRANSFER TO THE COUNTY. >> OK, THANK YOU. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON
THE FORMS THEY ARE NOW. >> THANKS, JILL. AL?
>> I CONCUR WITH YOUR COMMENTS. I THINK DOWN THE LINE IF YOU WANTED TO NAME THE 18TH HOLE AT THE GOLF COURSE ONE THAT EVER PARRED AFTER ME I PROBABLY WOULDN'T OBJECT A WHOLE LOT.
>> WE'RE THINKING OF PUTTING A PLAQUE ON THE LAKE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE FAIRWAY AL FOR YOU.
>> YOU DON'T HAVE TO. I'VE GOT ENOUGH GOLFBALLS SITTING IN THERE.
>> ANYTHING ELSE, AL? >> NO. >> THANK YOU, SIR.
>> BY THE WAY I THOUGHT WAS AN EXCELLENT JOB AND LONG OVERDUE. >> THANK YOU.
BURT? >> NO, AGREE IT LOOKS GOOD. >> NOW BURT, DO YOU HAVE ANY --
[00:50:07]
WELL I'LL LEAVE THAT FOR LATER UNDER BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS. I'M PROBABLY GOING TO ASK YOU IF I HAVE ANY UPDATE ON THE FOUNDATION. BRAD, ANY THE ON THE NAMINGSPONSORSHIP MEMORIAL POLICY QUESTIONS? >> NO.
I'M GOOD ON THIS, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. I LISTED TWO UPCOMING ITEMS ON THE AGENDA. NOT BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THEM TODAY BUT I WANT TO YOU PREPARE TO TALK ABOUT THEM. NEXT MANY WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE GOLF COURSE AND THE PIER. THIS CAME UP FROM THE BUDGET WORKSHOP WHERE THERE WERE A LOT OF STRATEGIC ISSUES DISCUSSED DURING THE BUDGET WORKBOOK ITSELF ON THE DETAILED WORKBOOK ON THE GOLF COURSE AND THE PIER, THE GIFT SHOP AND THE PIER. WHAT I WOULD REQUEST IS THAT EMILY, IF YOU COULD MAKE PART OF THE PACKET NEXT MONTH INCLUDE THE PAGES FROM THAT WORK BOOK THAT RELATE TO THE GOLF COURSE AND THE PIER WHERE YOU GO INTO DETAIL ON THE.
>>. BOTH FOR REVIEW OF PRIOR YEAR AND WHAT THE SPLA AN FOR FISCAL 21. IF YOU COULD INCLUDE THAT FOR THE NEXT MEETING AND IF WE COULD DO THAT TO PREPARE AN UPDATED PMO BECAUSE THERE'S ALWAYS QUESTIONS ABOUT A PNL WHAT YOU WANT TO TO BE IN TERMS OF APPLIED COSTS, EXPENSES HOW YOU AMORTIZE AND APPRECIATE, WHAT'S FIXED AND WHAT'S AVAILABLE AND ALL THAT STUFF. THERE'S ALL THESE QUESTIONS I WANT TO KNOW IF SOMETHING IS FINANCIALLY VIABLE BECAUSE I HEARD PEOPLE IN THE COUNTY WHO SAY THE GOLF COURSE CAUSES A TON OF MONEY. I HEARD PEOPLE THIS LEADERSHIP IF THIS COUNTY SAY THAT IT'S A BREAK EVEN OR IT HOLDS ITS OWN. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THIS TO UNDERSTAND THAT AND BE ABLE TO ASK YOU GUYS THE QUESTIONS ON THAT.
SO IF WE COULD DO THAT FOR NEXT MONTH. ARE WE GOOD WITH THAT ZMOUG.
>> SURE. >> THANK YOU. >> -- DOUG.
BEFORE WE LEAVE NEW BUSINESS -- LEAVING NEW BUSINESS, UNFINISHED BUSINESS, I'M GOING TO ASK THE
[Item 7]
BOARD IF THEY HAVE ANYTHING PERFECT PAST MEET THAGDS THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY BRING UP THAT THEY HAVE NOT DISCUSSED OR FEEL SHOULD BE ON THE AGENDA. THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY A REPORTBUT ANYTHING THAT I'VE LEFT OFF. GILLIAN? >> I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING.
I JUST HAD ONE QUESTION. WHEN YOU TALKED EARLIER ABOUT WORKSHOPS AND TAKING FIELD TRIPS TO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, WHEN WERE YOU ANTICIPATING THOSE TO START?
>> YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE A DATES IN MY HEAD. IT WOULD BE POST-COVID RELATIVE TO BOTH RESPECT SAFETY AND NOT DISTRACTING THE FOLKS WHO WORK AT THOSE FACILITIES FOR EXAM.
WE WANT WES THERE AT THE GOLF COURSE FOR EXAMPLE AND WES IS OUT THERE MAKING SURE THAT CARTS ARE OUT BECAUSE A LOT OF HIS CART GUYS AREN'T WORKING RIGHT NOW.
WE WANT IT TO BE DONE AT A TIME WHERE THERE'S A HIGHER COMFORT LEVEL ON SAFETY AS WELL AS WE ARE NOT SEEN AS A DISTRACTION TO THE SIDE THAT WE'RE VISITING. SO I DON'T HAVE AN EXACT DATE GILLIAN. THAT'S SOMETHING IN FUTURE MEETINGS WE CAN START PLUGING
ABOUT INTO THE CALENDAR. >> OK, THANK YOU. >> AL?
>> NOTHING NOW THANK YOU. >> BURT. >> BRAD?
>> I'M GOOD, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. DOUG, BACK NOW FOR ANY REPORTS
[Item 8]
IN ADDITION TO THE THINGS THAT WERE AGENDA ITEMS THAT YOU WANT TO BRING UP TO US.>> MAYBE A LITTLE DISCUSSION OF COVID THAT YOU PROGRESSED IS THE DIFFERENT TEAM MEMBERS HERE COMMENTED ON PROGRAMS. WE HAVE BEEN IN A MOVING TARGET FOR SEVERAL WEEKS NOW AS WE CHANGE THINGS AND GO THROUGH THINGS WITH THE VARIOUS PHASE OF RECOVERY NOW.
WE ARE WORKING VERY CLOSELY TO TRY TO MAKE THINGS AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE FOR INSTANCE IN SPORTS OBVIOUSLY THAT'S VERY NOPE TERMS OF PLAY. WITH STILL SOCIAL DISTANCING GUIDELINES. SO TEDDY AND THE STAFF HAVE WORKED VERY CLOSELY TOO WITH THE SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS ALL THE VARIOUS ALL THE NATIONAL SPORTS ORGANIZATION GUIDELINES FOR TRYING TO MAINTAIN FOR THAT IT'S MATTER OF THE FOLKS WHO WANT TO BE OUT THERE PLAYING AND PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES AND PROVIDING IT AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE.
WITHIN THE SITUATION AS WELL AS STAFF ON THE FRONT LINE TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE A PPE AND FACE
[00:55:06]
MASK AND TRYING TO MAINTAIN THE STANDARDS AS BEST WE CAN OUT THERE.LIKE I SAY WE'RE ROLLING THROUGH IT NOW TO BE IN PHASE TWO IS NEARLY EVERYTHING OPENED UP AND WORKING NORMAL. I THINK WE'RE JUST LACKING PROBABLY A FEW LEVELS IN TERMS OF OBVIOUSLY SPORTS. SO AGAIN THE FULL CONTACTS ORGANIZATIONS ARE TRYING IT MANAGE THAT AND GIVE GUIDELINES. OBVIOUSLY THE YOUNGER PLAYERS ARE GOING TO BE MORE OF A CHALLENGE IN OLDER DIRECTIONS. ALL THE ORGANIZATIONS. THE GOOD THING IS THAT IT'S NOT JUST PROBLEMS CROSS-COUNTRY SO EVERYBODY IS WORKING ON THE SOLUTIONS, AND TRYING TO KEEP THE KIDS AS SAFE AS WE CAN AS WELL AS ALL THE FACILITIES OPEN. OBVIOUSLY BEACHES AND BOAT RAMPS. WE'VE SEEN THIS INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE.
WHEN SO MANY SO MANY THINGS WERE SHUT DOWN. PROBABLY THE INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF TRASH. HOW WE'RE QUICKLY FILLING UP CANS AND HOW WE COULDN'T KEEP UP WITH IT. WE ALSO REALIZED THAT HEY EVERYBODY IS GOING OUT TO EAT SO PIZZA BOXES AND STYROFOAM WERE JUST FILLING US UP REALLY QUICK. A FEW PIZZA BOXES CAN FILL UP A 50-GALLON DRUM REALLY FAST. KUDOS TO THE STAFF. THEY GOT MOVING AROUND.
WE HAVE REC CENTER FOLKS WITH THE GOLF COURSE AND PICKING UP TRASH ON THE BEACH.
SO WE SHUFFLE A LOT OF PEOPLE AROUND TRYING TO COVER BASES AND PROVIDE THE BEST SERVICE WE
COULD. >> DOUG WORKS IT HAVE ANY VALUE AT ALL IF SIGNS WERE PUT UP AT THE EXIT POINTS OF PLEASE TAKE YOUR TRASH HOME WITH YOU NOT THAT WOULD YOU HAVE 100%
COMPLIANCE? >>. >> YEAH, YEAH.
IT'S ALWAYS A CHALLENGE. THE AMAZING THING ON THE BEACH IS THINGS PEOPLE LEAVE ON THE BEACH. 10 BY 10 POP-UP GET BUSTED BY THE WIND AND WE PICK THOSE UP.
THERE'S AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT. ONE OF THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND I THINK WAS SUNDAY, RODE WITH OUR BEACH SERVICES CREW JUST TO SEE THE OPERATIONS THAT WE ARE BEHAVING.
IT WAS JUST AMAZING THE VOLUME LEFT OUT THERE. I WOULD LOVE TO THINK AWITH ALL
THAT IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T. >> I GUESS THERE WAS SOME CYNICISM ON MY PART ON THAT.
ANYTHING ELSE ZMOUG. >> NO, SIR. I APPRECIATE THAT.
I WILL GO THROUGH THE BOARD -- DOUG. I WILL GO THROUGH THE BOARD TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR DOUG. GILLIAN?
>> NO QUESTIONS, THANK YOU. >> AL? >> ON THE BEACH THING DOUG, YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK INTO NEW JERSEY IN OUR PARK BEACHES WE BOUGHT SEVERAL OF THE RAKES THAT ARE TOWED BEHIND THE TRACTORS THAT REAL A FANTASTIC JOB OF GETSING NEARLY EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE POP-TOP -- GETTING NEARLY EVERYTHING EVERYTHING BUT THE POP TOP CANS, THE LITTLE CLIPS.
THEY DO A GREAT JOB. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THAT STUFF.
>> AL, WE DON'T. ONE COMPLIMENT I'LL GIVE LOCALLY HERE IS WE DON'T SEE A LOT OF TRASH JUST LAYING ON THE BEACH PER SE. EVERYTHING GETS STACKED UP AROUND THE GARBAGE CANS. SO A LOT OF TIMES WE GET LAWN CHAIRS AND BEACH EQUIPMENT AND TENTS AND CANOPIES STACKED UP THERE. IF THEY TRY TO PUT IT IN THE TRASH CAN IT PROBABLY CREATES EVEN MORE OF A PROBLEM TO TRY TO DO A GOOD DEED.
WE'RE GETTING AN AMBER ALERT HERE. SORRY ABOUT THAT.
SO I THINK THAT OVERALL WE'RE FORTUNATE THERE THAT PEOPLE INTEND TO THEIR STUFF PERHAPS EVEN HOME OR TO THE TRASH CANS AND UNLESS THERE'S A BIG STORM SITUATION WE DON'T TEND TO HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH TRASH WASH-UP LIKE SOMEPLACE DOS WHERE THERE ARE RAKES REALLY GET TO BE IMPORTANT. I'VE WORKED ON WATER FRONTS WHERE YOU GET JUST A CONSTANT WASH-UP BUT YOU ALMOST NEED THEM TO GET AN AREA SWIMMABLE. SO FAR WE'VE NOT SEEN A REAL
DEMAND FOR THAT KIND MUCH EQUIPMENT ON THE BEACHES. >> JUST A COMMENT ON THE RAKES ON THE BUDGET WORKSHOP, THERE WAS A NOTE IN THE GOLF COURSE BUDGET ON A NEW RAKE, AND IT WAS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. YOU COULD SEE THAT THE SOME OF THE COMMISSIONERS WERE KIND OF LOOKING AT THAT NUMBER WITH WHY ARE WE BUYING RAKES THAT COST $1,000? IT TURNED OUT TO BE A PRETTY BIG PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THEY USED IN THE SAND TRAPS PULLING BEHIND THE TRACTOR. IT WASN'T EXPLAINED IN THE PACKAGE.
THAT'S FAIR. ANYTHING ELSE NOW? >> NO.
THAT'S FINE: >> BURT? -- THANK YOU.
BURT? >> NO, NOTHING AT THIS TIME. >> BRAD?
>> I HAVE NOTHING. THANK YOU. >> THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS THE SCHOOL BOARD FROM PAUL FROM ABBA. PAUL IS NOT WITH US BUT EMILY, I
[01:00:02]
DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A JAMIE THING OR AN EMILY THING. COULD YOU ASK THE SCHOOL BOARD, ASK ABBA TO UPDATE US ON WHAT THE STATUS OF THE -- OF THE SUMMER PROGRAMS ARE AT SCHOOL FACILITIES. THEY ARE USING THE TRACK. USING THE GYM.THOSE TYPE OF THINGS WHERE THEY OPEN UP THE PROPERTY FOR THE COMMUNITY? AND JUST KIND OF SEND THE BOARD AN UPDATE ON THAT. THANK YOU.
ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD THIS WE WOULD WANT TO ASK THEM.
GILLIAN? >> NO, THANK YOU. >> AL?
[Items 9 & 10]
WE MOVE ON TO BOARD MEMBER REPORTS. IF WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS GO THROUGH AND ASK THE BOARD MEMBERS THAT ARE HERE THAT ARE ON THE CALL TO GIVE THEIR THOUGHTS OR COMMENTS ON THINGS THAT THEY HAVE WORKED ON. BUT IF WE COULD HAVE THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE BOARD HOLD UNTIL THE END SO THAT WE HAVE SOME ORDER TO THE PROCESS WITH ANYQUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. GILLIAN, ANYTHING TO REPORT? >> I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO
REPORT. >> AL? >> NO, BUT I WANT TO MAKE A
COMMENT. I GUESS LATER. >> WHY DON'TS DO YOU THAT NOW
AL. >> OK. -- DON'T YOU DO THAT NOW, AL.
>> OK THE I FEEL BAD. MY COMMENTS BEFORE WHEN COMMISSIONER WALDRON WAS SPEAKING. IT SEEMS TO ME WAS TAKEN AS A POLITICAL STATEMENT.
PLEASE, IT WAS NOT A POLITICAL STATEMENT. I THINK I WAS TRYING TO DEAL WITH JUST THE FACTS AS I SAW THEM AND MY CONCERN AS TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
POLITICAL STUFF I'LL DEAL WITH NOT ON THIS BOARD BUT ANOTHER VENUE.
I HOPE YOU CAN TAKE IT AS THAT. THANK YOU. >> I APPRECIATE THAT, AL.
BURT? >>LING WITH THE THING TO REPORT ON IS THE FOUNDATION.
OBVIOUSLY, IT'S MOVING A LITTLE BIT SLOW BECAUSE OF COVID, GETTING TOGETHER GET SOME DOCUMENTS PRICED. BUT I DID HAVE A CALL YESTERDAY AND IT LOOKS LIKE THAT IS MOVING ALONG TO GET THE -- THE 401-C LICENSE SO YOU CAN GET A BOARD TOGETHER AND MOVE FORWARD WITH IT. SO THERE IS SOME PROGRESS THAT I THINK APROBABLY AGREE WE'RE
THREE MONTHS BEHIND. >> I WOULD AGREE, YES, SIR. WHEN WE MEET AGAIN OR NEXT MONTH
WE CAN GET A GOOD FOLLOWUP ON IT. >> THANK YOU, BURT.
BRAD? >> REALLY THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO REPORT IS DURING THE COVID PERIOD WE'VE TAKEN -- MY WIFE AND I TO VISIT THE PARK FACILITIES AND GET SOME OF THE PROPERTIES WE HAVE IN OUR PORTFOLIO. SO JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT.
>> YEAH, I'VE DONE THE SAME THING. I'M AMAZED WITH ALPINE GROVE, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL THE THAT IS. I WAS STUNNED. I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THERE.
SHAME ON ME. BY THE WAY, MY ONLY COMMENT IS THE JULY MEETING NOTHING IS PLANNED. YOU WILL BE RECEIVING SOME NOTICES AT SOME POINT.
WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO PUSH THAT BACK IN JULY. DOUG MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN JULY SO WE MAY TRY TO PUSH THAT BACK IN JULY AND HAVE FLEXIBILITY ON THAT BUT MORE TO COME ON THAT. GILLIAN ANY FINAL COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS?
>> TO AL. ALS I DIDN'T TAKE YOUR COMMENTS BEFORE AS POLITICAL.
I HAVE ALSO BEEN FRUSTRATED ABOUT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO AREN'T TAKING COVID SERIOUSLY.
IT'S ALSO NOT AN AGE THING. IT IS A SENTIMENT THAT IS SHAIRDED HERE, BUT I APPRECIATE THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT, BUT I DID NOT -- I DIDN'T HEAR IT AS POLITICAL.
-- SHARED HERE. >> THANK YOU, GILLIAN. AL?
>> NOTHING. THANK YOU, GILLIAN. >> BURT?
>> NOTHING. THANK YOU. >> BRAD?
>> I HAVE NOTHING ELSE, THANK YOU. >> OK.
I WILL NOW CALL FOR A MOTION TO ADJOURN AND IF THE MEMBER MAKING THE MOTION CAN STATE THEIR NAME FIRST SO WE CAN BE GET IN THE MINUTES, THEN WE'LL CALL FOR THE SECOND.
