[17. Redistricting County Commissioner Districts]
MOVING INTO PUBLIC HEARINGS. WE HAVE TWO OF THOSE. THE FIRST ONE IS REDISTRICTING FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER DISTRICTS. I BELIEVE BRIAN'S GOING TO LEAD US HERE. EVERY 10 YEARS. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOES A CENSUS OF THE POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES. AND THE FLORIDA CONSTITUTION REQUIRES THAT AFTER THAT, SINCE THIS IS COMPLETED. COUNTIES HAVE TO MODIFY THEIR DISTRICT BOUNDARIES TO, UM, AS CLOSELY AS PRACTICABLE. E, UH, HAVE THE SAME POPULATION IN EACH. IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT EVEN THOUGH COMMISSIONERS ARE REQUIRED TO EACH RESIDE IN ONE DISTRICT, UM. VOTERS IN THE COUNTY CAN VOTE FOR ALL FIVE OF YOU, REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY WHERE THEY LIVE. WHAT WE NOTICED WHEN THE CENSUS WAS COMPLETED IS THAT THERE IS A SIX THERE WAS A SMALL CHANGE IN TOTAL POPULATION, BUT THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT MIGRATION. LET'S SAY, UM, FROM THE EAST, PART OF THE COUNTY TO THE WEST, SO THE BEACH AREA GREW SIGNIFICANTLY WHILE. THE POPULATION IN THE EASTERN PART OF THE, UM COUNTY DROPPED. THAT REQUIRED A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN DISTRICT BOUNDARIES. UM TRADITION AND HERE IN BAY COUNTY IS A SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS OFFICE, UH, TAKES THE LEAD AND IN PREPARING THESE. PROPOSED MAPS. AND SO MARK ANDERSON'S AND HIS CREW. DID A GREAT JOB OF CREATING MAPS THAT VERY CLOSELY ALIGNED TO THAT REQUIREMENT IN THE CONSTITUTION THAT THE DISTRICTS EACH OF THE SAME. POPULATION IS AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE. UM, JUST AS A EXAMPLE UM. PRIOR TO THIS ADJUSTMENT. DISTRICT. FIVE WE HAVE A MEETING CHANGE DISTRICT FIVE WOULD HAVE ABOUT 20,000 MORE PEOPLE THAN DISTRICT TWO. AND WITH THIS CHANGE, THERE'S NO DISTRICT THIS MORE THAN ABOUT 400 OFF OF ANY OTHER DISTRICT. SO. THIS IS VERY CLOSELY ALIGNED. THE CHANGES ARE MATH. ULTIMATELY UM, WE JUST HAVE TO, UH, CHANGE THE LINES TO CAPTURE THE SAME NUMBER OF PEOPLE. AND THOSE MAPS ARE IN FRONT OF YOU. SO THIS IS, UH, PUBLIC HEARING WE REQUESTED. THE BOARD CONSIDERED ANY COMMENTS FROM THE FROM THE PUBLIC AND THEN ADOPT THE RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE PROPOSED MAP IN FRONT. THE QUESTION, MR LIEBERT. SIR. MR ANDERSON. ONE THING ANYTHING THAT. CAN'T MISS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE MIC. NOW COME ON.THANKS, STAFF OR. MY STAFF WERE GETTING ON IN THE CENTRAL TRACK BLOCKED 10 YEARS AGO IS A LOT MORE DIFFICULT TO DO THESE MAPS. WE'VE GOTTEN STRONGER AND MORE POWERFUL AS FAR AS BEING ABLE TO IDENTIFY AND PLANNED AND ORGANIZED AND EVERYTHING'S BY CENSUS TRACT BLOCKS NOW, INSTEAD OF LEGAL BOUNDARIES AND ALL THE LENGTHY DESCRIPTION, SO IT'S EASIER FOR US TO GET THE BOUNDARIES AND GET THE NUMBERS. UM DETERMINED ALSO WANT TO COMMEND THE BOARD ON MOVING FORWARD BECAUSE THE CENSUS DATA CAME BACK VERY LATE, AND GETTING THIS FORWARD IN A TIMELY MANNER IS VERY IMPORTANT. SO AGAIN. I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE BOARDS. STEPPING FORWARD AND GETTING THIS DONE BECAUSE WE JUST IMPLEMENT WHAT YOU RECOMMEND, BUT IT AFFECTS THE VOTERS AS FAR AS THE DISTRICT. WE THANK YOU FOR YOU AND YOUR STAFF IS OVER. YOU'RE AHEAD OF THE GAME AND ALREADY PUTTING PROJECTIONS AND THEN HIS DAD WAS COMING IN. YOU WERE MODIFYING. SO YOU AND YOUR STAFF HAVE DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB. WE THANK YOU FOR THAT, AND
[00:15:03]
EVERYTHING WAS BASED ON NUMBERS AND THEN WE ALSO AFTER THE NUMBERS, WE LOOKED AT THE DISTRICT TO SEE IF WE SPLIT IT ANY. SPLIT ANY COMMUNITIES THAT SHOULDN'T BE SPLIT. THAT'S THE NEXT THING YOU LOOK AT HER. AND AGAIN AS WE ALL SEE THAT THE BEACH IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY. THAT'S WHERE YOU HAD MAJOR GROWTH, SO IT WAS A LARGE NUMBER. GOOD. THANK YOU, SIR. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IF THERE'S SOMEONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO COME AND SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO COME TO THE PODIUM. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. MORNING GENTLEMEN.CHARLES MITCHELL 82 TO HAVE GONE LIKE ROAD YOUNG SOUTH FLORIDA. I LIKE TO START OFF WITH. WELL I GOT UP THIS MORNING OF 68 DEGREES IN MY HOUSE. AND WALKING TO THE DARK TO TURN THE HEAT ON. I WALKED BACK TO THE BEDROOM AND I STUMBLED OVER MY SCHOOL. AND STUBBED MY TOE. AT THE TIME. I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT COULD SPEAK AND SEVEN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES.
ANYWAY. ANYWAYS. THIS CENSUS SHOWS US THAT TREND IN BAY COUNTY THAT'S IMPORTANT, UH, LOOK TO THE FUTURE FOR DISTRICT FOR IS EXPLODING IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS. AND IT IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND IN THE NEAR FUTURE IN MY AGE NEW FUTURES DEBATABLE. IS THAT. SOME PLACE IN THE NEAR FUTURE YOUNGSTOWN FOUNTAIN AND SOUTHPORT ARE GOING TO ESTABLISH THEIR OWN BUSINESS PALETTE EASE. THEREFORE CREATING SIERRAS FOR EACH ONE OF THOSE IF THEY DO IT. THE REASON THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT IS BECAUSE THERE AND FEAR OF PANAMA CITY AND LYNN HAVEN ANNEXING TO GET MORE POPULATION AS THE COUNTY GROWS. IT'S IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE NEAR FUTURE AS CANON COMMISSIONERS UNDERSTAND. WE NEED IN THE CENTRAL AND NORTH END OF THE COUNTY MORE MONEY TO IMPROVE OUR ROADS. WE GOT SOME REALLY BAD ROADS. AND TO CORRECT SOME THAT IF FUNCTION. TWO FUNCTIONS IN THE BRIDGES. WE HAVE SOME OF THEM ARE ANCIENT THAT BEST. IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND THE COUNTY MANAGED TO REALIZE THAT DURING THE FUTURE. BAY COUNTY AND 2 31 AS THESE BIG CORPORATIONS RECOGNIZED THE POPULATIONS ARE CHANGING. WE'RE GOING TO SEE MANY, MANY MORE FRANCHISES AND POSSIBLY CAR DEALERSHIPS ON 2 31. IT'S IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT BECAUSE IT'S COMING. THE TOURISM IN THE BEACHES. THERE IS SHOWN THAT THE HIGHWAY TO 31. AS GROSSLY ABUSED IN TRAFFIC.
IT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. AND I ACTUALLY HAD 35 SECONDS LEFT. HOW ABOUT THAT? THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS, MR MITCHELL. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO COME SPEAK ON EVERY DECISION. ARE SAYING NO. WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. ANY COMMENTS. I JUST WANTED TO ECHO WHAT YOU SAID EARLIER ABOUT THE JOB THAT. MARK IN HIS STAFF HAS DONE. THEY'VE DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB. I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT WENT INTO. WITNESS MAP TOGETHER AND JUST WANT TO HATS OFF TO YOU ALL FOR DOING SUCH A GOOD JOB ON. ANYBODY ELSE? YEAH DINNER FOR ME TO THE LOOKING AT THESE DIFFERENT DISTRICTS, THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T EACH ONE. I DON'T. I DON'T KNOW. YOU GUYS GET A CREDIT ANYTHING. THAT IS, THAT'S AN INCREDIBLY CREDIBLY, EVEN, UH. HATS OFF TO YOU, TOO, AS WELL AS BEING ABLE TO GET EVERY DISTRICT SO CLOSE. IS THAT MOST REMARKABLE TO ME LOOKING WHAT WE HAD. PREVIOUSLY TO WHAT WE HAVE NOW. REALLY EVEN THINK. GOOD JOB. YEAH I WOULD AGREE, MARK. GOOD JOB YOU AND DETERMINED. NINA AND EVERYBODY DOWN THERE THAT WORKS ON THIS BECAUSE THE NUMBERS AS.
TOMMY JUST SAID VERY, VERY CLOSE AND WITH. WELL, I THINK WE'RE VERY BLESSED TO HAVE POPULATION GROWTH, CONSIDERING WE HAD HURRICANE AND. COUNTING DURING A PANDEMIC WAS PROBABLY NOT THE EASIEST FOR THE CENSUS WORKERS. SO TO SHOW GROWTH AFTER WHAT WE'VE FACED IS.
SHOWS THAT WE ARE ON AN UPWARD TAKING BAY COUNTY AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE THAT WAY.
ABSOLUTE. AND WHAT ELSE? YEAH MARK, YOUR TEAM DID DO A PHENOMENAL JOB WORKING WITH OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT AND JUST THE DIFFERENT ITERATIONS THAT YOU'LL PUT THIS THROUGH HOW MANY TIMES THE LINES CHANGES THAT COUNTS WERE COMING IN. AND YEAH, WE'RE KEEPING EVERYTHING MARK. IT WAS JUST VERY IMPRESSIVE THAT. YOU STAYED ON TOP OF IT. AND TO REALLY THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT FROM THE. THE LARGEST POPULATION TO THE SMALLEST POPULATION IN THE
[00:20:01]
DISTRICT. WE'VE ONLY GOT A DIFFERENCE OF 391 FOLKS. THAT'S JUST PHENOMENAL WORK ON YOUR PART TO MAKE SURE TO GET IT THAT TIGHT AND AGAIN. WE ALL REPRESENT EVERYBODY IN THE COUNTY, BUT THAT YOU CAN STILL GET IT THAT BALANCED OUT IN THE DISTRICTS IS VERY IMPRESSIVE.KUDOS TO ER. I JUST WANT. TO LAST THING IS, MR DOUG. JUST MORE. PRESSED ON IS THAT YOU KNOW THERE IS EQUAL REPRESENTATION, NO MATTER WHERE WE RESIGNED, WHERE THE DISTRICT LINES OR. ANY SINGLE ONE OF US WILL PICK A PHONE CALL FROM ANYONE THAT'S ANYWHERE IN THE DISTRICT. I MEAN, I HELP PEOPLE IN SOUTH PORTLAND HAVEN THE BEACH. IT DOESN'T MATTER, SO JUST EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE AWARE THAT THERE IS COMPLETE. YOU KNOW, WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE.

SURE. CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSIONERS REPORT. START WITH COMMISSIONER MORE. WELL I HOPE EVERYBODY HAD A GOOD HALLOWEEN. WE ACTUALLY FINALLY GET TO STAY IN OUR.NEIGHBORHOOD THIS TIME AND HAD ABOUT 250. KIDS COME BY. IT WAS A LOT OF FUN. UM, I, UH. YOU KNOW, THE WEATHER'S TURNING NICE AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE MORE TOURISTS COMING IN FOR THE FALL SEASONS NOW AND LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT, UM, AND JUST, UH, EVERYBODY BE SAFE OUT THERE.
CHRIS I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING. IT'S MORE MR HAM. YES A COUPLE OF THINGS I DO, JUST LIKEKE WHIH EVERYONE RELATED HAPPY HALLOWEEN. OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WAS PACKED AS WELL. THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT. IT WAS GREAT SEEING ALL THE KIDS GET OUT IN OTHER COSTUMES. I KNOW I WAS RAN TO.
THEY COULDN'T HARDLY. THEY JUST LITERALLY JUST ABOUT DRAW. UH THEY RAN FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE IS SO MUCH CANDY. IT WAS. IT WAS A LOT OF FUN, YOU KNOW? SEE HIM. I GUESS SOME. NORMAL ALONE NORMALITY AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR HALLOWEEN. AND SECONDLY, I WENT OUT, UH, SATURDAY, I WENT OUT TO THE GUN RANGE. THERE'S THE NORTH BEHAVING HAD HE COME. A SHOOTING TEAM WHICH ARE REALIZED EXISTED. SO IT WAS. IT WAS PRETTY COOL TO SEE THE YOUTH OUT THERE, AND IT WAS CO ED AS WELL. SO WE HAD THE GIRLS AND THE GUYS BOTH WERE. PROCEEDING CLAY PIGEONS, AND I LEARNED SOME STUFF FROM TALKING WITH ALL THOSE FOLKS OUT THERE THAT THERE'S ABOUT 50 COLLEGES THAT GIVES SCHOLARSHIPS FOR SHOOTING. UM BUT IT SHOOTING SKI. THAT'S NOT SHOOTING SPORTING CLAYS AND I KNOW WE HAD, I THINK, SKEET, UM. ON OUR LONG RANGE PLAN OUT THERE FOR THE GUN RANGE, AND I WANTED TO SEE IF THERE'S SOME WAY IF WE MIGHT COULD BUMP THAT UP ON A PRIORITY OF GETTING THAT DONE. AND MAYBE EVEN REACH OUT. UM WITH THE POSSIBILITIES OF SOME PRIVATE FUNDING, IF SEE IF PEOPLE WANT TO DONATE TO THE CAUSE. UM AND I WANT TO SEE IF WE CAN GET STAFF TO STUDY. UM WHAT KIND OF TOURNAMENTS ARE RELATED TO THAT? MAYBE THIS IS SOMETHING WE COULD TIE IN WITH TDC. I KNOW THE COST OF EMMA RIGHT NOW IS EXPENSIVE. AND SO I'VE NOTICED. I'VE NOTICED A MONTHLY NUMBERS HAVE BEEN DOWN OUT THERE AND I MEAN, I WOULD THINK THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT'S ATTRIBUTED TO THAT COST OR TO THOSE OVER NUMBERS IS THE COST OF EM OUT. BECAUSE IT IS EXPENSIVE, BUT I THINK THAT EVENTUALLY WILL CORRECT ITSELF AND COURSE WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS AS A LONG RANGE THING, NOT SOMETHING IN HER MEMORY LIKE WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. MR CHAIRMAN. THANK YOU. YEAH SO STAFF IS CURRENTLY BEEN ENGAGED. WITH THE NUMBER OF CITIZENS IN THE COMMUNITY ON THAT WITH THE GUN RANGE, OKAY. THE PRICE POINT ON THAT IS NORTH OF 800,000. MM. QUITE HONESTLY, YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY IN YOUR BUDGET TO ACCELERATE THAT. SO WE'RE WORKING WITH F W C RIGHT NOW TO TRY TO ATTAIN A GRANT TO DO THAT. THAT'S REALLY WHAT'S DRIVING THE TIMELINE. SO YOU KNOW STAFF IS LEANING FORWARD AND PUSHING ON THE FWC. BUT AS SOON AS THE PLAN IS, AS SOON AS WE HAVE ATTAINED THOSE DOLLARS TO GO OUT THERE AND MAKE THAT MAKE THAT HAPPEN. I THINK THE PARK'S ADVISORY COMMITTEE IS ON BOARD WITH IT. CERTAINLY ONBOARD WITH IT. UM, I KNOW THE INTERESTED PARTIES IN THE COMMUNITY THAT WANT TO, UM EXPEDITE THIS WANTED TO MOVE FASTER, BUT IT'S A LATE EDITION TO THE PARK MASTER PLAN AND. AT THIS POINT, THE GRANT FUNDING IS THE IS THE MOST AFFORDABLE WAY TO DO THAT, AND, UNFORTUNATELY, LIKE MANY OTHER THINGS, WHEN IT'S NOT OUR MONEY, WE DON'T CONTROL THE TIMELINE SO THAT THAT IS WHAT'S CREATING THAT DELAY. BUT. WE'LL MOVE THAT FORWARD AS QUICKLY AS WE POSSIBLY CAN. OKAY THE INITIAL CONVERSATION WILL DO NEED TO POINT OUT BEGAN WITH. THE INTERESTED PARTIES IN THE COMMUNITY PROVIDING THE FUNDING FOR THIS. WE'RE GONNA YES. AND THAT, OF COURSE, IS, I THINK ONCE THE $800,000 TICKET PRICE WAS SHARED THAT THAT SHIFTED A LITTLE BIT, SO, UM, SO WE'RE DILIGENTLY WORKING ON THAT. BUT WHAT'S CONTROLLING THAT TIMELINE? IS THOSE GRAND PHONES, OKAY? YEAH BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW I'VE RECEIVED ONE EMAIL SOMEONE THAT WAS WILLING TO CONTRIBUTE. UM THERE MAY BE OTHERS. UM, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S. HOW WE GO ABOUT DOING THAT, BUT I'M SURE THERE'S SOME WAY. WITHOUT DOING A GO FUND ME PAGE CARWASH. THAT'S ALL I GOT. THANK THANK YOU, MR MR GRIFFITH.
