TO THE FEE AND FINAL SCHEDULE DURING EACH BUDGET CYCLE, IF NECESSARY. YES MR CHAIRMAN. I HAD ASKED FOR THIS TO BE PULLED JUST FOR SO WE HAVE DISCUSSION ON IT. I JUST WANT TO EXPLAIN. I'VE HAD A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS, AND I WANTED TO EXPLAIN THAT. THAT THIS INCREASE IS TO BREAK EVEN THIS IS NOT AN INCREASE TO TWO, UM. TO SAVE TO CONTINUE TO GROW ANY KIND OF A REVENUE STREAM. OTHER THAN BREAKING EVEN. UH THE INFORMATION WE RECEIVED SHOWS THAT WE'RE ON TRACK TO LOSE MONEY. AT THE GUN RANGE AND FOR ARE THE GOODS SERVICES THAT THEY DO, AND SO I THINK IT'S PRUDENT THAT WE, UH, BREAK EVEN AT LEAST SO THEY WON'T HAVE. WE DON'T HAVE TO LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE TO RAISE THE MONEY TO RUN THE GUN RANGE. I AGREE THAT WITH THE FACT THAT IT NEEDS TO THE GUN RANGE AND SEVERAL OTHER ENTITIES THAT WE HAVE NEEDS TO PAY FOR THEMSELVES. AND THIS IS A GOOD WAY FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. SO THIS IS JUST TO BREAK EVEN. AND THAT'S WANTED TO PULL THAT OFF TO POINT THAT OUT, BECAUSE I'VE HAD SO MANY QUESTIONS ON IT. OKAY YEAH. AFTER YOU. C W C OPERATES THE GUN RANGE FOR US. AND SO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY'VE APPROACHED US WITH AN INCREASE IN SEVEN YEARS SINCE THE OPENING OF THE RANGE. SO AND THEY DO A GREAT JOB. I'M REAL PROUD OF WHAT THE FEEDBACK I RECEIVED FROM FW SAFE FROM THE PEOPLE WHO UTILIZED THE FACILITY. ARE ALWAYS TELLING US THE PROFESSIONALISM THAT AFTER ABC SHOWS UP THERE, IT'S GREAT.IF I COULD ADD. ALSO THE 3% MODIFIER IS NOT AUTOMATIC. THOSE RATES WILL BE REQUIRED TO COME IN FRONT OF YOU JUST LIKE ALL THE REST OF THE COUNTY'S RATES DUE IN THE FALL OF EACH YEAR.
UM, BUT THAT GIVES US SOME DIRECTION ON. WHAT TYPE OF FLEXIBILITY WE HAVE, BUT THEY'LL HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE THAT SHE'S EACH YEAR IF THEY NEED FUTURE. INCREASES IN THOSE WILL INDIVIDUALLY COME BEFORE YOU AS WELL. OKAY. ALRIGHT, THANKS FOR CLARIFICATION. WITH THAT UP THERE. I'M SORRY, MRS. NO YEAH, I THINK I MEAN PERSONALLY, THE $2 RATE INCREASE ITS MINIMAL UM, AND THAT THIS IS FOR A DAY IS THIS FOR A WHOLE? THE USE OF THE RANGE FOR A DAY? SO I THINK IT'S A MINIMAL INCREASE AND YOU KNOW? I DON'T SEE A REASON WHY WE SHOULDN'T SHOULDN'T DO IT. WITH THAT I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE BOARD MEMBER SECOND CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE MOTION IN SECOND COMMISSIONER DOES YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER MORE YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER GRACIOUS.

STARTEXT PROJECT AMENDMENT. YES SIR. MR. CHAIRMAN YOU RECALL THE LAST MEETING WE HAD A DISCUSSION TO THE COUNTY MANAGERS REPORT ABOUT THE IMPACT THAT INFLATION IS HAVING ON. ON OUR BUDGET, SPECIFICALLY THE COST OF MATERIALS AND WE ADVISE YOU WE'D BE BRINGING BACK AN ITEM AT THIS AGENDA TO AMEND THE FIVE YEAR SURTAX PROJECT SCHEDULE, SO STAFF'S RECOMMENDATIONS THE BOARD REVIEW AND APPROVE THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF THE FY 22 3 FY 26 INFRASTRUCTURE SERVER TEX PROJECT LIST. AND AUTHORIZED STAFF TO PROCEED WITH THE EXECUTION OF THE APPROVAL LIST.MR CHAIRMAN. I ALSO ASKED FOR THIS TO BE PULLED JUST SO FOR DISCUSSION. I RECEIVED SEVERAL COMMENTS ON AFTER, UH THE WORD GOT OUT THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE ADDRESSING THIS, UH SEVERAL CONCERNS AND SOME COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE. THAT THERE ROAD OR THEIR PROJECT THERE. FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM THEIR PET PROJECT PROJECTS THAT THEY'VE BEEN WATCHING. UM IN THIS FIVE YEAR PLAN WOULD WOULD IT BE AFFECTED OR NOT? AND I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT. WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE IS THESE ARE BIKE. THESE ARE SIDEWALK PROJECTS. OR SIDEWALK SLASH BIKE LANE. AND.
WHEN WE HAVE TO TRIM. I THINK IT'S PRUDENT THAT WE TRIM, UH, AREAS THAT DON'T HAVE THE LARGEST IMPACT ON THE PUBLIC. OUR ROAD PROJECTS ARE MOVING FORWARD, AND SO WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK AND LOOK FOR GRANT MONEY TO ACCOMPLISH. DECIDE WHAT PROJECTS AND LOOK AT OTHER MEANS
[00:10:01]
TO DO THAT, BUT TRYING TO STRETCH OUR DOLLARS. WITH THE WAY THE ECONOMY HAS CHANGED IN THE EXPENSES HAVE GONE UP WITH INFLATION. I THINK STAFF HAS DONE A GOOD JOB WITH PICKING THESE PROJECTS OUT. THAT WE HAVE TO TRIM SO THE ROAD PROJECTS WILL NOT BE AFFECTED. THERE'S ONE PROJECT ON HERE ON A CREEK BRIDGE, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE MOVED IN HOUSE. WE'RE GOING TO APPROACH THAT FROM AN IN HOUSE APPROACH, BUT. I JUST WANTED. I JUST THOUGHT THAT WAS WORTH FROM ALL THE QUESTIONS I RECEIVED. I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT FACT. OKAY. ALRIGHT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? IS WILL WE BASED ON INFLATION AS WE KNOW IT'S SOMETHING IS PROBABLY NOT GOING AWAY ANYTIME SOON. WELL, WE REALLY ASSESS THIS EVERY YEAR TO LOOK AT ALL THIS PRIORITY LIST ROOM WERE ACTUALLY REASSESSING IT ON A PROJECT BY PROJECT BASIS. WE HAVE THINK I MENTIONED THE LAST MEETING. SOMEWHERE THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $20 MILLION WORTH OF PROJECTS THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GET ON THE STREET IN THE NEXT 12 MONTHS, SO ON AVERAGE, WE'RE GOING TO BE DROPPING THE PROJECT. ON THE STREET FORBID, PROBABLY EVERY MONTH. AND AS WE WATCHED THAT PRICING COME IN, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ADJUST ACCORDINGLY. UM THAT ADJUSTMENT WILL EITHER BE, YOU KNOW, COMING BACK TO YOU AND ASK YOU TO CUT OTHER PROJECTS OFF THE LIST. UH KEITH BRYANT HAS STAFF DO A PHENOMENAL JOB AS WE REPORTED YOU IN THE PAST OF MIRRORING THESE DOLLARS UP WITH GRANT FUNDS. MM SO THOSE SOURCES ARE STILL THERE, AND PARTICULARLY WITH THE FEMA PROJECTS FAMOUS REALLY FLEXIBLE WITH US, I WOULD SAY ONCE WE HAVE REAL WORLD COST GOING BACK AND ADJUSTING THOSE PROJECTS SO. BUT YEAH, WE'LL DO IT ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS, AND I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT. BECAUSE OF KEITH STAFF AND THE WORK THEY'VE DONE. WE ARE SIGNIFICANTLY AHEAD OF THE TIME HORIZON ON GETTING PROJECTS EXECUTED. AND SO WHILE WE ARE DELAYING SOME OF THESE WERE JUST TAPPING THE BRAKES A LITTLE BIT, BUT THEY'VE GOTTEN. PRETTY FAR DOWN RANGE AHEAD OF THEMSELVES ON GETTING PROJECTS COMPLETED OVER THE LAST THREE OR FOUR YEARS. AND SO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE HAD TO KIND OF PULL BACK. YEAH WELL, THE INFLATION I CAN CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THAT MYSELF DEAL WITH IT EVERY DAY. IN THE MARK, BIG TIME JOB. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. I MAKE A MOTION. WE APPROVE THE BOARD MEMO. SECOND WE HAVE EMOTION AND SECOND ROLE PROBLEM. COMMISSIONER DOZER. YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER GRIFFITH. YES, MA'AM. MISSIONER MORE. YES, MA'AM. CHAIRMAN HAN? YES, MA'AM. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO J.

MORNING CONDITIONER. APPRECIATE YOU HERE AND FIND CLARA JORDAN. WELL, I HAVE A NEW. WE'VE GOT A GROUP OF PEOPLE HERE TODAY IF YOU WOULD ALL RAISE YOUR HAND. COMMISSIONER CAN I DON'T KNOW.THIS IS IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE FLOODING. WE'VE HAD OUT THERE IN THAT AREA OVER THE LAST MORE THAN. AND JUST TO CATCH YOU UP ON WHAT'S GOING ON. IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW. OH, RAN OCTOBER 1ST.
WE HAD ABOUT EIGHT OR NINE INCH RANGE. THIS CAME ON TOP OF US. REALLY WEIRD YEAR THAT YOU KNOW A LOT OF GROUND WATER. AND THERE'S BEEN A GOOD BUILD UP GROUNDWATER. WELL, THAT I D
[00:30:03]
TRAIN. WHEN WE WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING HAD COMPLETELY FLOODED. THE COMMUNITY. WE HAD FIVE HOUSES WITH PROBABLY A FOOT TO FOOT OF WATER IN IN EACH HOUSE. THERE WAS PEOPLE HAVE TO GET UP AND MIDDLE OR NOT LEAVE. NUMEROUS OTHER HOUSES, PROBABLY 20 TO 30,000. HAD WATER UP TO THEIR DOOR. IN THEIR BACKYARD ON BOTH MARLON ST AND PALM STREET. SO THE INTERSECTION THAT.POMPANO AND RIVIERA WAS COMPLETELY CLOSED. 100, PROBABLY THREE FT OF WATER. SO WE CALL THE COUNTY FOR HELP, AND IT TOOK FOUR OR FIVE DAYS BUT BECAUSE OF WATER DIDN'T GO DOWN AT ALL. AND I'LL GET TO THAT IN A MAN. THEY STARTED. OH, RUNNING WITH THE PARK DROP. AND. THE PARK TRUCK HOLDS ABOUT 1500 GALLONS PER TRUE. SO. YOU CAN IMAGINE IF YOU'VE GOT OVER A MILLION GALLONS OF WATER ACCUMULATED, AND I HAD THAT ESTIMATED BY THOMPSON PARK. HOW LONG IT MIGHT TAKE THE WHOLE THAT WENT AROUND. AND THEN THE GUY WHO WORKED HARD. AND THE COUNTY DID GET ANOTHER TRUCK OUT THERE, SO WE HAD ONE TO START WITH THEM. WE HAD TO TRUCK AND LIKE BOUGHT REGULARLY, BUT NOT REALLY FAST, OBVIOUSLY. NO. TWO WEEKS LATER. WE GOT THE WATER DOWN FAR ENOUGH SO WE DIDN'T GET IT GONE, BUT GOT IT FOR AND ALSO THE PEOPLE COULD GET BACK. INTO THEIR HOUSE. THEN AND START DOING SOME WORK IN THERE. AND THEN ANOTHER FOREIGN TRYING. AND WE WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING AND THE WATER WAS RIGHT BACK UP WHERE IT WAS WHEN WE STARTED TALKING. NOW.
THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE THERE'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO STOP AT ANOTHER. TO KEEP ON. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE REASONS WHY THAT HAPPENS. THE AREA IS AN OLD AREA STORY IN THE ENACTING SO. LOTS OF REASONS BETWEEN 1950. HOW ABOUT WHY THAT KIND OF THING CAN HELP? BUT THE REAL ISSUE IS THAT THE STORM WATER SYSTEM HAS NEVER BEEN ADDRESSED. IT'S THE OLD JUST LIKE IT WAS IN 19. AND WE'RE TRYING TO BILL. WHY WE'RE BUILDING TODAY, WHICH IS RAPID. SO THROUGH ALL THIS TIME, WE'VE CONTINUED TO PERMIT HOUSES BEING BUILT INTO THAT BASIN. AND THAT BASIN COVERS THE WHOLE NORTHEAS.
SIR TO YOUR TIME'S UP. COULD YOU PLEASE BRING IT TO A CLOSE? UH, WELL, BUT. SOMEONE'S GONNA FOLLOW ME WITH THE ISSUES, BUT. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT'S NOT GOING AWAY BECAUSE THAT STORM WATER DRAWING. HAS TO BE REPAIRED. THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO WAY FOR THE WATER AND GET OUT OF THAT PLACE. SO IT IS URGENT, AND SO FAR THE COUNTY HASN'T OFFER. A REAL REASON THAT WE HAVE AN ADDRESS AND ACCEPT THAT IT SOUND BOLD AND YOU KNOW, WE ALL KNOW THAT OKAY. ALTERNATE. YES, MA'AM. YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE. YES, MARILYN WATLEY. 21517 PUMPING AWAY AVENUE IN THE REVERE BEACH NEIGHBORHOOD ON THE WEST END OF THE BEACH. AND I'M HERE JUST TO REMIND OUR GOVERNMENT. THAT ON YOUR OWN WEBSITE, IT STATES. THE MISSION OF THE REGION BRIDGES DIVISION IS TO MAINTAIN AND REPAIR OVER 746 MILES OF PAVED AND DIRT ROADWAYS WITH DRAINAGE. 51 BRIDGES AND 70 MILES OF PRIMARY DRAINAGE SYSTEMS EASEMENTS TO PROVIDE A SAFE AND RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION THAT WORK. AND THEY STORM WATER SYSTEM THAT MINIMIZES FLOODING AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT AND IRON NEIGHBORHOOD HAS NOT BEEN UPGRADED. SINCE 1955. WE HAVE THE SAME STORM WATER. BY COLUMN DRAINS. THEY HAVE A GREAT OVER A WHOLE THAT'S DUG IN THE GROUND WHEN IT FEELS THAT. IT FLOODS. SO AFTER LIKE, SOMEBODY NEEDS TO BE REMINDED OF THEIR MISSION. AND THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AND THAT IS TO MAINTAIN. AND HELP US WITH THE SAFE ENVIRONMENT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. AND I THINK THAT THE STATEMENT THAT WAS MADE ON TV ABOUT WHAT THAT NEIGHBORHOOD WAS PLANTED IN THE FIFTIES. THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. YOU JUST NEED TO SELL OUT TO FEMA. THAT WAS A VERY INAPPROPRIATE STATEMENT MADE BY OUR GOVERNMENT. AM, I THINK THA. YOU NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT ALL THE BUILDING GOING ON AND CAN DO YOU HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT IT. BECAUSE THIS IS GETTING WORSE. IT'S NOT GETTING BETTER IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS ON THE WEST END OF THE BEACH IS WELL. AND MR
[00:35:04]
GRIFFITHS. I'M STILL WAITING ON YOUR PHONE. CALL BACK. YES. MISS WILEY. WE'VE SPOKEN WITH NUMEROUS NUMEROUS. I CAN'T COUNT YOU THE PEOPLE ASPECT TO SO I APOLOGIZE IF YOU SLIP THROUGH THE CRACK. WE'LL HAVE A VERY DETAILED RESPONSE FOR YOU, FOLKS THAT WE'D LIKE TO HEAR YOUR COMMENTS FIRST. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YES, MA'AM. DEBORAH LOWRY, 21417 MARLON AVENUE. THE BOTTOM LINE IS WE WANT ON YOUR AGENDA. WE WANT YOU TO SEE THAT YOUR EMPLOYEES ARE WORKING TO SOLVE OUR PROBLEM. THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY. WE HAVE A GOOD REPRESENTATION HERE TODAY. AND BELIEVE ME THERE A LOT OF OLD PEOPLE THAT WE CAN. COME WE'RE GOING TO BE HERE. EVERY MEETING WE WANT. TO WORK WITH YOU. WE WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND. WE WANT TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM TOGETHER.SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT SEVERAL THINGS. NUMBER ONE. WE HAVE A BIG HEALTH CONCERN THIS WATER, OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE WHEN THE TRUCKS TAKE IT OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY GO TO THE WASTEWATER SYSTEM. THEY DON'T TAKE IT OVER TO THE LIKE FOR IT TO GO INTO THE GULF. THAT MEANS THAT WATER IS CONTAMINATED THAT WATER HAS BEEN SITTING ON THAT GROUND FOR SIX WEEKS NOW.
AND SO EVEN THE GROUND IS EFFECTIVE, AND WE WILL DO WHATEVER WE HAVE TO DO THE SHOW YOU DO THAT THE GROUND IS. NOT HEALTHY FOR PEOPLE. SO THAT IS OUR MAIN CONCERN. WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE HEALTH AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. UM. THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH ISSUED ON OCTOBER 7TH WEEK DAY WE HAD SEVEN INCHES OF RAIN. WE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD TO LEAVE THEIR HOMES THAT THE FLOODWATERS CAN POSE A HEALTH RISK. THIS IS A QUOTE. BLOOD WROTE WATERS CAN CONTAIN HARMFUL BACTERIA AND PARASITES THAT CAN CAUSE ILLNESS OR INFECTIONS.
THAT'S OUR CONCERN. SAFETY IS A CONCERN. WE'VE HAD PEOPLE WHO HAD TO CALL AN AMBULANCE AND THE AMBULANCE COULDN'T GET THROUGH. DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE REROUTE SO IT. IT POSTPONED PEOPLE GETTING THE HELP THAT THEY NEEDED. WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT OUR PROPERTY THAT. ONE OF THE HOMES AS WE UNDERSTAND IT THAT WAS FLOODED IS ALREADY FOR SALE FOR ABOUT $200,000 LESS THAN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WORTH BEFORE THE FLOODING, AND THAT IS GOING TO BE USED AS A COP FOR ANYBODY IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT SELLS THEIR HOUSE AND THAT ALSO AFFECTS THE TAX BASE. SO WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. TRAFFIC IS ALSO A PROBLEM. RIVIERA IS A MAIN ROAD AND THERE'S SO MUCH CONSTRUCTION OUT THERE THAT THESE HUGE TRUCKS GO UP AND DOWN AND ALL THE TIME THEY'VE BEEN REROUTED ON THE SAD STREETS WHERE CHILDREN PLAY WHERE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO WALK THEIR DOGS. AND WE JUST IT'S JUST CAUSING UPHEAVAL IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THAT IS HARD. IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT TO LIVE WITH. AND ALONG WITH MARYLAND. I'M SORRY, BUT I FOUND EVERYONE TO BE VERY NON RESPONSIVE. LOTS OF THEM.
HUNDREDS SERIOUSLY. HUNDREDS OF PHONE CALLS HAVE BEEN NOT RESPONDED TO IT. ALL EMAILS HAVE NOT BEEN. I ALWAYS HAD WONDERED WHY THE PRESIDENT, THE UNITED STATES ALWAYS GOES TO THESE AREAS AFTER HURRICANE. NOW I KNOW WHY IT MAKES PEOPLE FEEL BETTER TO SEE THEIR GOVERNMENT ACTING LIKE THEY CARE AND WE THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW. WE WANT TO KNOW THAT YOU CARE ABOUT US BECAUSE WE ARE GOOD VOTING TAXPAYING PEOPLE, AND WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOUR ATTENTION. SO YOU KNOW, YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT WE WANT. WE WANT TO GET ON YOUR AGENDA. WE WANT TO GET THE ATTENTION OF THE ENGINEERS AND THE PEOPLE IN THE COUNTY THAT KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE WAYS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. AND WE JUST ARE HERE PLEADING AND ASKING FOR YOUR HELP. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THIS MAN YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. UM MY NAME IS LILLIAN WEAVER LIVE ON 4 TO 6 WESTERN DRIVE. THIS IS A RELATED PROBLEM ACTUALLY IS THE SAME PROBLEM.
PHONE HERE FOR YEARS AGO, MY HUSBAND BUILT A COTTAGE CORNER OF WESTERN AND THE VALUE RIGHT THERE ON WHAT WE NOW REFER TO AS LATE AS I. THREE YEARS AGO AFTER OBSERVING THAT IT WAS A SERIOUS DRAINAGE PROBLEM. UH I DIDN'T EFFORT TO GET THE COUNTY TO ADDRESS THE DRAINAGE PROBLEM AT THE INTERSECTION. NATASHA DID COME OUT AND TALK WITH US AND. LIGHT AROUND. I GOT A LETTER FROM JOSIE SEAR THAT SAID THAT ALL THE RESOURCES WERE GOING TOWARD MICHAEL, WHICH I UNDERSTOOD. YOU KNOW, RIGHT AFTER THAT. NAIL THREE YEARS LATER. THIS IS A MUCH WORSE PROBLEM. THE SEPTIC TANKS HAVE FLOODED. THE SEWAGE IS IN THE STREETS OR WAS IN THE STREETS.
NOW IT'S DRY RIGHT NOW, AFTER A MONTH AND A HALF OR A MONTH. UM CARPORTS HAVE BEEN FLOODED.
THERE WAS AN AIRBNB THAT WAS FLOODED. UH, AND THIS IS DUE TO THE WIT YEAR. I KNOW. UH WHICH I'M AFRAID IS GOING TO BE A TREND INSTEAD OF AN EXCEPTION, BUT ANYWAY, WHO KNOWS THAT AS A RESULT, SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE HAVING SAYING HAULED IN WELL, THIS IS GOING TO INCREASE THE FLOW OF THE WATER TOWARD THE ROAD, SO THAT'S GOING TO GET WORSE. NOT BETTER. UM THIS PROBLEM, AS SHE SAID, ADVERSELY AFFECTS OUR PROPERTY VALUES. BUT YET OUR TAXES KEEP GOING UP.
WITH ALL THE ADDITIONAL REVENUE BEING GENERATED BY. THE SURGEON BUILDING BY THE HALF CENTS SURTAX, AND, BUT SEVERAL GOOD TOURIST SEASONS COULD NOT SOME OF THIS MONEY BE SPENT ON
[00:40:04]
IMPROVING INLAND INFRASTRUCTURE. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS KATHY CHASTAIN AND I LIVE AT 3 TO 4 AZALEA DRIVE. PANAMA CITY BEACH, AND WHAT'S KNOWN AS THE LAGUNA BEACH OF STATES IS WHERE A MAN.TO PIGGYBACK ON EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN SAID. I GUESS THERE'S NOTHING ELSE I CAN SAY.
EXCEPT THAT WE ARE FLOODING ON THE WEST END. AND IT'S GETTING WORSE. IT'S NOT GETTING ANY BETTER. I MY PARENTS OWNED THE PROPERTY SINCE THE SEVENTIES AND I'VE GOT IT. NOW THERE'S BEEN NO STORM DRAINAGE PUT ON AZALEA ROAD. THERE'S NO HOLES WITH GRAPES. THERE'S NOTHING. AND THE INTERSECTION OF A ZILLION WEST END. SHE'S CALLING IT LIKE AS AREA. IT'S NOT FUNNY. THE WIND CAN BLOW WHITECAPS WHEN IT'S REALLY FULL. SO NOW WE'VE GOT FLOODING. THAT IS OVER THE BOTTOM OF COMPACT CARS, THEIR DOORS COMING THROUGH THAT INTERSECTION, SO IT'S NOT GETTING ANY BETTER. IT'S GETTING WORSE. AND FOR THE FIRST TIME AND. 40 YEARS. MY SEPTIC SYSTEM DIDN'T WORK. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME. SO AND I KNOW OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD ON HIS OWN AREA. I KNOW THERE'S OR NOT WORKING EITHER. SO THEY'RE RIGHT. I MEAN, OUR LEACH FIELDS ARE LEACHING INTO THE WATER. IT HAS TO BE. SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING AND WHEN ANOTHER THING THAT'S NEW IS THEY WON'T DELIVER OUR MAIL BECAUSE OUR MAILBOXES AND DEEP WATER. AND SOME OF THE SOME OF THE UPS AND FEDEX WON'T COME. WHEN THE WATERS OF THAT HIGH THEY WON'T COME THROUGH THERE.
SO I GUESS WHAT WE'RE ASKING TODAY IS ONE FOR STORM DRAINING SYSTEM. WE'VE GOT TO HAVE IT AS ALIA HAS NOTHING. NOTHING THE OTHER ROADS DO HAVE SOME GRAPES AND HOLES ARE SAYS NOTHING. SO WE NEED STORM DRAINAGE, AND I DON'T HAVE THE SAME THING. BUT OUR HEALTH SYSTEM. SHE'S RIGHT.
THE LADY THAT SPOKE WITH VARIOUS RIGHT THE FIELDS. I MEAN, OUR LAKES FIELDS MUST BE LEACHING OUT IN THAT WATER. IT HAS TO BE. SO WHAT WE NEED IS STORM DRAINAGE VERY BADLY. WE NEED MAYBE SOME, UM. TRAFFIC CONTROL IN THAT INTERSECTION. PEOPLE ARE GOING THROUGH THAT INTERSECTION SUMMIT HIGH RATED SPEEDS. WE HAVE TWO SCHOOL BUSES THAT DROP KIDS OFF AT THAT INTERSECTION THAT ARE HAVING TO MOVE UP AND DOWN TO DROP KIDS OFF. SO WE NEED SOME KIND OF, UM, MAYBE TRAFFIC CONTROL AND THAT INTERSECTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS. AND OTHER THAN THAT, WE WON'T COLLABORATION AND WE WANT COMMUNICATION. WE'VE GOT NONE OF IT. WE STARTED IN 2016. WE TOOK PICTURES. WE CALL IT IN YOUR ENGINEER. UM. NATASHA NATASHA 2016. I'VE GOT THE PICTURES. WE WERE TOLD THERE'S NO MONEY IN THE BUDGET, AND THAT WAS BEFORE MICHAEL. NO MONEY IN THE BUDGET.
THERE'S GOT TO BE MONEY. WE'VE ALL PAID. OUR TAXES WERE HOMEOWNERS WERE NOT RUNNERS WERE HOME OWNERS. WE PAID OUR TAXES. WE HAVE PAID FOR STORM DRAIN SYSTEM AND WE NEED IT. THANKS.
THANK YOU. IT'S ANYBODY ELSE. OKAY, WE'LL CLOSE THE FLOOR. DOWN. KEITH. DESERVED. ANYTHING YOU COULD SHED LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT WITH US, PLEASE. YES, SIR. CONCERNING THE PROPERTIES ARE. TOM PAPA KNOWN RIVIERE. THOSE WHO ARE THE THAT'S THE. SEVERE AREA THAT WE'RE FOCUSED CURRENTLY. THAT'S WHERE WE'VE HAD WATER IN THEIR HOMES. SO. WE HAVE, AS YOU KNOW, TO STORMWATER ENGINEERS JOSIE NATASHA, WHO ARE QUITE BUSY, BUT THEY HAVE TRIED TO RESPOND TO AS MANY CITIZENS AS THEY CAN. THE CURRENT PLAN OUT THERE IS WE WORKED WITH THE CITIZENS FOR THE TEAM ABOUT PROGRAM. THE FEMALE BY PROGRAM HAS A LOT OF STRINGENT REGULATIONS ON IT. SO WE STARTED LOOKING FOR OTHER BUYOUT PROGRAMS. WE HAVE FOUND A GRANT. THAT WE CAN UTILIZE TO BUY SOME OF THE PROPERTIES WE ALREADY HAVE. WE'RE WORKING WITH LEGAL STAFF TO BUY THE PROPERTY ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF RIVIERE IN POMPANO. UNFORTUNATELY THE PROPERTY OWNER IS DIFFICULT TO LOCATE. THE PRIMARY OWNER PASSED AWAY TO SEE THIS WEEK, WE HIRED A. PROFIT DETECTIVE TO FIND THE AIR. WHERE WE CAN BUY THAT. PLAN IS TO BUY THAT PROPERTY AND PUT UPON POSSIBLY BY SOME OF THE OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE INPUT UPON TO GET THE WATER OUT OF THE STREET. TELL THEM SOMEONE MADE SOME OF THIS PROBLEM. YOU KNOW, IT'S A 14 FT DEEP BOWL IN THAT AREA. UNFORTUNATELY, WE CAN'T PUMP THIS WATER TO THE LAKE. DUE TO THE SUBJECT TANKS. WE STARTED RUNNING THE PART RIGHTS WE PART 520,000 GALLON. OF WATER AND SUPPOSED OF IT AT PANAMA CITY BEACH IS SEWER PLANT. WE HAVE
[00:45:07]
TESTED THE WATER. AS RECENTLY AS LAST WEEK, THE COOLANT LEVELS ARE BELOW THE REQUIREMENTS SO THEIR SAFETY ISSUE HAS SUBSIDED AS FAR AS WHAT WAS IN THE WATER. OKAY? WE'RE BASICALLY PUMPING GROUNDWATER. UNFORTUNATELY UH, WITH THE RAINS WE'VE HAD THIS YEAR WITH THE WET SEASON. WE HAD THAT 10 INCHES, FOLLOWED BY THE FIVE INCHES REALLY? HAVE TO DO THE WATER TABLE IN THE AREA. SO HOME BUYOUT FOR THAT AREA IS GOING TO BE. IN MY OPINION, THE MOST ECONOMICAL SOLUTION HOME OUT IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF A POND AT THAT INTERSECTION. THE OTHER AREA THAT WAS DISCUSSED THIS MORNING AS A. THAT IS ALREADY BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A PROJECT. IT'S ON THE BOOKS SURVEY'S INCOMPLETE FOR NATASHA AND JOSIE. I SPOKE TO HIM THIS MORNING. THEY HAVE A PROJECT THAT'S ON THE LIST. I'LL BE HONEST. WE HAVE SEVERAL PROJECTS ON THAT LIST. WE'VE BEEN WORKING THAT LIST. FOR MANY YEARS. IT'S WE HAVE QUITE A FEW PROBLEMS. S. WE ARE PURSUING THE SECONDARY HOME BUYOUT PROGRAM SINCE WE FOUND GRANT MONEY FOR IT, AND WE'LL BE MOVING FORWARD WITH ANYWAY. UM I ONLY HAVE ONE IS ANY OF THIS STUFF ANY OF THESE ROADS, PRIVATE ROADS? NO, SIR.THESE ARE PUBLIC. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. OKAY, SO WE GUESS WE GOT US A PLAN. WORKING AROUND PLAYING ANYWAY. GOING FORWARD, WHICH IS GOOD. UM WE TRY TO TRY TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM. HOW UM, MAYBE CREATING. SOME RETENTION PONDS WILL HELP. CAPTURE THIS WATER YOU KNOW AND LET IT PERCOLATE INTO THE GROUND. YES. UM AND. LESS RAIN WOULD HELP AS WELL, TOO. IT'S BEEN AN EXTRAORDINARILY WHAT YEAR. WE'RE DEALING WITH ISSUES LIKE THIS AROUND THE COUNTY, HU? YEAH, AS YOU'VE SEEN IN THE NEWS RECENTLY IN WASHINGTON COUNTY IS DEALING WITH US. ALSO. I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS IN MY CAREER IN MY 25 YEARS. JAZZ IS NOT SEEN IN HER 28 YEARS THAT WE'VE SEEN THIS MUCH WATER SEEING THAT, ESPECIALLY AT THE BEACH, SETTING THE BEACH DO THIS. ONE OTHER.
LADIES WHO SPOKE THIS MORNING MENTIONED IN HER 40 YEARS. SHE'S NOT HAD HER SEPTIC TANK HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. IT'S BEEN AN EXTREMELY WET YEAR. THE SYSTEM OUT THERE AND TALKING OVER THE ERA IS A FRENCH DRAIN SO ON A NORMAL RAIN POLICIES TO EXPEDITE THE WATER, LEAVING THE ROADWAY.
POND IN THAT AREA WILL. HELP GREATLY IF WE CAN PURCHASE HOMES THAT ARE FLOODING AND GET THEM OUT OF THERE AND PUT IN A PAWN IN THAT AREA. I THINK IT WILL B. THE FASTEST SOLUTION THAT WE CAN HELP WITH THEIR OKAY? YEAH ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR CLEAR WHAT? SO. COME UP WITH THE WAY WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. WHAT KIND OF TIME FRAME WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT? WE'RE ACTIVELY PURSUING THE CORNER OF THE NORTHEAST. CORNER PROPERTY NOW. WE HAVE FUNDS IN THE BANK TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT PROGRAM, SO. YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE THAT CORNER PROPERTY, UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE THAT'S THE LOW SPOT. THAT LOW SPOT AND WE'LL GO FROM THERE AND IT'S TWO LOTS WHICH IS REALLY, REALLY BENEFICIAL BECAUSE IT'S TOO LOT HOUSE. WE CAN TAKE IT DOWN QUICKLY WITH IN HOUSE STAFF. TRY TO GET THAT WATER OUT OF THE ROAD INTO A RETENTION POND. SO WE'RE MOVING ON THAT RIGHT NOW. LEGAL STAFF IS WORKING THAT PROBLEM RUN. THIS IS ACTUALLY MORE FOR LEGAL THAN FOR YOU WITH HAVING TROUBLE FINDING THE. THE AIR'S IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE COULD DO A QUICK, EMINENT DOMAIN OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES? TO DO. THERE IS A TAX THAT YOU DON'T LISTED A TAX CERTIFICATE ON THE FRONT OF THAT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THREE YEARS CRAZY. HAVE A BENCHMARK VALUE. AT LEAST HAVE A VALUE WHAT IT WAS. ANYTHING ELSE WAS STAFF. OKAY WELL, WELL, JUST SO YOU FOLKS KNOW WE ARE WORKING ON THIS, UM AND YES, THINGS DO TAKE TIME. AND YES, WE UNDERSTAND. UM WE'RE SEEING FLOODING ALL OVER THE COUNTY THAT WE'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
SINCE HURRICANE MICHAEL. UM. THEY'RE SO YOU'RE NOT ALONE. SO PLEASE KNOW THAT THAT YOU'RE NO.
YOU'RE NOT THERE THAT WE'VE HAVE OTHER PLACES THAT ARE FLOODED A LOT AS WELL. AND SO, UM, STAFF THAT THERE WILL WE WILL WORK ON THIS AND BELIEVE ME, WE'RE WE'LL TRY TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION AS QUICK AS WE CAN. IF WE'RE OBVIOUSLY THINGS DON'T MOVE AS FAST THE GOVERNMENT IS SOMETIMES AS PEOPLE WOULD LIKE THEM TO. AND I'M ALL OF US UP HERE CAN ATTEST TO THAT AS WELL. SO JUST
[00:50:07]
JUST LET YOU KNOW THAT WE YOU KNOW WE'RE WORKING ON IT. WE'RE SITTING UP TO IT, AND WE KNOW YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. UM, YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY FOLKS OUT THERE THEY HAVE FOOT PROBLEMS. THEY'RE HAPPENING. UM YOU KNOW, BASICALLY ALL OVER THE COUNTY AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT A LARGE PART OF IT IS DUE TO THE LACK OF TREES THAT WE LOST IN THE STORM. AND HAVE AN 80 SOMETHING INCHES OF RAIN IN ONE YEAR IS JUST NOT TYPICAL FOR US, AND, UM. AND I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE SOME CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES FOR YOU OUT THERE IF THESE HOMES WERE BUILT IN THE FIFTIES, UM THERE ARE THERE NEW. I HAVEN'T BEEN OUT THERE BUT BUT. YOU KNOW, JUST JUST KNOW THAT WE THAT WE WILL DO WHAT WE CAN TO ALLEVIATE YOUR PROBLEMS. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING THEY'RE LIKE? YEAH WE'RE SORRY. YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN CONTACTED, WE'VE TRIED OUR VERY BEST. I'VE SPOKEN WITH JUST DOZENS OF PEOPLE AND I WAS ACTUALLY OUT THERE THE DAY AFTER THE EVENT WITH OUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR IN MY TRUCK WALKED UP TO THE WATER'S EDGE. I HAVE SEEN IT. I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE WEST AND I GREW UP ON THE WEST END OF THE BEACH. AND AS ADVIL SAID, I'M 50 YEARS OLD. I'VE NEVER SEEN WATER OUT ON THE WEST END LIKE THAT BEFORE EVER.UM. WE ARE HAVING BIBLICAL TYPE RAINS. UM WE TALK ABOUT BUYING HOUSES AND DIGGING PONDS A WEEK.
SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD BUY ARCS BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE IT'S NEVER GOING TO STOP. AND AS COMMISSIONER, HAMS POINTED OUT. IT'S NOT DOESN'T MAKE ANY FEEL ANY BETTER. BUT THERE ARE PLACES ALL OVER THIS COUNTY THAT HAVE NEVER HAD FLOODING ISSUES THAT ARE FACING THESE ISSUES RIGHT NOW. MM IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO FIGURE AS HE POINTED OUT. GOVERNMENT IS LIKE TURNING A BATTLESHIP. IT IS VERY, VERY SLOW AND PAINFUL. WE WILL DO OUR VERY BEST. I'LL APOLOGIZE. IF YOU WEREN'T CONTACTED. WE DO OUR BEST TO TRY TO REACH OUT TO YOU AND LIKE I SAID, I WAS STOMPING AROUND. I'VE SPOKEN WITH DAVID HOWARD. I'M SURE WHO SOME OF YOU ALL KNOW VERY WELL, AT LEAST A HALF A DOZEN TIMES, I THINK OVER THE LAST SIX WEEKS VIA TEXTURE. JUST TO EXPLAIN TO HIM. HEY, THE COUNTY IS ON THE WAY. WE'RE DOING OUR BEST. 500,000 GALLONS OF WATER PUMPED AND IT'S STILL THERE. I MEAN, WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE DIGGING FENCES RIGHT NOW. THEY PUT A SHOVEL IN THE GROUND AND ONE INCH INTO THE GROUND. THEY'RE DIGGING UP WATE.
IT'S LIKE DIGGING ON THE EDGE OF THE GULF OF MEXICO. WHEN YOU BUILD A SANDCASTLE, IT JUST FILLS THE HOLE IN. BUT I PROMISE YOU WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A SOLUTION FOR YOU ALL. BUT YOU CAN'T.
