AND MY PROBLEM IS WITH THE ANIMAL CONTROL DIVISION. YOU'RE DITCHES DIVISION AND I WANT TO COMMEND THE ROADS. DIVISION BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES WHO HAVE GOTTEN BACK WITH ME ABOUT ANYTHING. AND, UH, SO THEY. WE HAVE A FEW PROBLEMS, BUT AT LEAST I TALK TO THEM. AS FAR AS THE HUMANE SOCIETY OR YOUR ANIMAL CONTROL DIVISION OF FOUNTAIN. THEY ARE PRACTICALLY NON EXISTENCE, EVEN WHEN CALLED BY THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT. THEY DO NOT COME FOR ANIMALS THAT ARE BEING DISRUPTIVE AND DANGEROUS. WHEN YOU GO TO TAKE ANIMALS UP THERE, WHICH YOU TAKING YOUR TIME TO CORRAL OR WHATEVER, BECAUSE PEOPLE LOVE TO DUMP ANIMALS OUT FOUNTAIN. THEY ARE. WE CAN'T DO THAT. YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN APPOINTMENT. OH, YOU FED THEM. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I HAVE A HEART SOMETHING COMES UP.
[00:10:07]
IT'S HUNGRY. I FEED IT WELL, NOT WITH YOUR ANIMAL. SO YOU KNOW, I'M NOT REAL IMPRESSED WITH THEM . I HEARD ON THE NEWS THAT THEY WERE GETTING READY TO BANG PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY TOOK ANIMALS UP TO THE CONTROL THING WHERE THEY JUST DUMPED THEM OUT. WELL, THAT'S ABOUT THE ONLY DOG ON WAY YOU CAN GET THOSE PEOPLE TO TAKE AN ANIMAL. NOT ALL OF US HAVE SCHEDULES OR PLACES WHERE WE CAN MAKE APPOINTMENTS AND DO ALL THIS GOOD STUFF AND A LOT OF US HAVE HEARTS OF SOMETHING COMES TO OUR HOUSE, AND IT'S HUNGRY. WE FEED IT. SO YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S JUST RIDICULOUS. AND THIS ISN'T A NEW THING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON BECAUSE THERE WAS A NEW THING. I'D PROBABLY HAVE PATIENTS AND THINK ABOUT IT SAY OKAY. WELL MAYBE THERE'S ANOTHER ROUTE TO DO IT OR FIGURE SOMETHING OUT. BUT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE BEFORE 2017. OKAY AND I'VE LIVED IN BAY COUNTY OFF AND ON FOR MOST ALL MY LIFE. SO I'VE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE 2000. NOW WHEN IT COMES TO DITCHES AND STUFF. AH YOU'RE GOING TO PUT NEW ROADS OUT THERE. HOW ARE THOSE ROADS SUPPOSED TO STAY IN PLACES IF WE CAN'T EVEN GET OUR DITCHES CLEARED OUT? I'VE CALLED THE DITCHES PEOPLE AND ASKED THEM TO CLEAR OUT AND GOT TOLD, YOU KNOW ? WELL IT WASN'T TIME OR I TOLD HIM MY NEIGHBOR WENT. I HAD A NEIGHBOR THAT ACTUALLY TOOK HIS GARBAGE AND THREW IT IN MY DITCH. I COULDN'T GET HIM TO DO IT. I COULDN'T GET HIM FINE. WHEN I TALKED TO BAKE COUNTY SHERIFF'S PEOPLE ABOUT IT. IT WAS LIKE, WELL, HE'S PARAPLEGIC , AND WE HAVE NO PLACE TO PUT IN JAIL. WE HAVE NO FINES FOR ANYTHING LIKE THIS. THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT, SO I HAVE A CLOG DITCH AND STUFF RUNNING BACK ON MY PROPERTY. AND BEING THAT I AM A POOR CRACKER.I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY SOMEBODY TO CLEAN OUT MY DITCH. SO YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYBODY OUT THERE TO CLEAN OUT DITCHES AND WELL OVER 10 YEARS, MISS BAILEY, IF YOU WILL WAIT TILL AFTER THE MEETING WILL GET ALL YOUR CONTACT INFO AND WE'LL DISCUSS IT WITH YOU FURTHER.

OH ONE BEACH STREET. GENTLEMEN, CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT JUST HAPPENED? BECAUSE YOU KNOW, FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET SOMETHING IN FRONT OF YOU PEOPLE AND TIME AND AGAIN , EVERYBODY'S WITNESSED RUNNING AND NOT ADDRESSING MY SUBJECTS WHENEVER IT COMES TO CRIMINAL ACTS BEING CARRIED OUT AGAINST THE PEOPLE. AND I SIT HERE AND I SAY, LOOK, DO YOU OR DO YOU NOT THINK IT'S AND YOU SHOULD BRING TO THE AGENDA AN EMERGENCY?

YOU TAKING THEIR PROPERTIES USED IN A QUASI JUDICIAL SYSTEM. I'VE GOT PICTURES OF COWS ENFORCEMENT COMING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. TAKING PICTURES INSIDE OF PEOPLE'S WINDOWS, TAKING PICTURES INSIDE OF PEOPLE'S PRIVACY FENCES OVER PRIVACY FENCES TO FIND A VIOLATION SO THAT THEY CAN VIOLATE THEM, THEN COME BACK AND TAKE THEIR PROPERTY CHARGING LARGE AMOUNTS OF FINDS, KNOWING THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY IT. AND THEN THEY TURNED BACK AROUND AND TAKE THOSE FINES AND ATTACH IT TO THE PROPERTY TAXES. THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME $30,000 FOR TAKING MY REAL AND RODS, MY CASTANETS, MY TOOLS, EVERYTHING I HAD, AND PLUS ALL THE BUILDING MATERIALS, THOSE TRYING TO BUILD MY HOME AND BETTER MY PROPERTY VALUES.
