DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME RIGHT NOW? BEFORE WE SHOW THE VIDEO ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY.

GREAT. THANK YOU. PANAMA CITY'S CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE. SOMEONE TOLD ME QUOTE. MEXICO BEACH HAS GONE. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE STORM. I WENT TO THE COUNTY MANAGER AND I THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF DAMAGE. AND HE SAID DON'T WORRY ABOUT FINDING YOU JUST GO DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. A COUNTY TOOK $300 MILLION IN LOANS AND WE WENT TO REPAIRING. INFRASTRUCTURE POST HURRICANE LINE. AFTER A BIG DISASTROUS CITIZENS WANT TO GET BACK TO NORMAL. THEY WANT TO OPEN THE SCHOOLS BACK UP. YOU CAN'T DO THAT IF YOU HAVE PEOPLE LIVING IN IN THE SCHOOL.

WE RECEIVED 36 MILLION AND HURRICANE DISASTER FUNDS FROM FLORIDA HOUSING FINANCE IN FLORIDA HOUSING COALITION. AND WE BUILT THE RE HELL'S BAY PROGRAM OUT OF TRYING TO, UM, HOUSE. THE MAGNITUDE OF PEOPLE WHOSE HOMES WERE JUST DEVASTATED FROM THE CAT FIVE. IT'S A WONDERFUL FEELING TO KNOW THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO BEGIN HELPING FAMILIES AND BE ABLE TO START PROVIDING SOME HOPE TO OTHERS THAT THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THIS PROCESS WITH THEM, AND THAT THEY SEE AN OBJECTIVE AT THE END OF THE DAY, SEE AN OPPORTUNITY AT THE END TO BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE AND PROVIDING THEIR FAMILY WAS WRITTEN FOR, LIKE 14 YEARS, BRUCE WAS TRAPPED IN A RENT CYCLE. A FATHER WHO WANTED TO RAISE HIS KIDS IN A HOME HE OWNED. THAT'S WHERE WE HOUSE BACON IN HURRICANE HOUSING PROGRAM MEANT TO HELP THOSE WHO HAVEN'T OWNED A HOME IN THE LAST THREE YEARS. ONE NOW YOU CAN RECEIVE UP TO $50,000 TOWARDS BUYING A NEW HOME SO YOU CAN AFFORD YOUR MORTGAGE PAYMENT. THIS IS MY EYES NOW, AND I'M OWNING IT. IT'S A JOY CAN OWN YOUR OWN HOME VISIT REHOUSE BAY .ORG TO LEARN MORE. WE'VE HOUSED ALMOST 70 FAMILIES AND JUST SIX MONTHS TIME EXPENDED APPROXIMATELY $7 MILLION. AH IN THE SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, AND IT HAS SHOWN TO BE EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL FOR THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. FIRST TIME HOMEOWNERSHIP TO WATCH SOMEBODY WALK INTO A HOME WITH A SMILE ON THEIR FACE KNOWING IT, TOO. THERE'S THAT PROBABLY HAS BEEN IN A RENTAL PROPERTY MOST OF THEIR ADULT LIFE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ALL SHOULD BE VERY, VERY PROUD OF. I LOVE WATCHING THE FACES OF THOSE PEOPLE WHEN THEY SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE, AND THEY KNOW THAT THEY'RE GETTING A HOME AT THE END OF THE DAY. THAT'S SOME THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE VERY PROUD OF HERE LOCALLY, AND WE REALIZED THAT THE 50,000 WAS VERY HELPFUL. BUT WITH THE INCREASE IN HOUSING PRICES IN THE COMMUNITY WE KNEW IT HAD TO BE MORE IF WE WANTED TO HOUSE OUR LOW INCOME CLIENTS. SO WE WENT TO THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND ASKED THEM TO INCREASE THE DOWN. PAYMENT ASSISTANCE IS 75,000 FOR LOW INCOME RESIDENTS. AFTER THEY MADE THE VERY WISE DECISION TO GO AHEAD AND DO THAT. WE RECEIVED ANOTHER 100 APPLICATIONS. FOR MONTHS YOU'VE

SAVING MONEY TRYING TO FIND A PIECE OF PROPERTY. WHICH WE DID WE BEFORE HURRICANE BY COOL. IT WAS $20,000. THREE WEEKS AFTER MICHAEL IT WAS $80,000. OF COURSE, EVERYTHING WAS GONE. UM MY HUSBAND IS A LYNN HAVEN POLICE OFFICER. UM I WAS CURRENTLY NOT WORKING AT THE TIME BECAUSE I WAS HAVING SOME HEALTH ISSUES. I AM A NURSE. FOR A YEAR WE LIVED HERE. JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. WE ENDED UP LEAVING. WE MOVED TO TENNESSEE WITH MY PARENTS BECAUSE WE JUST COULDN'T TAKE ANYMORE. WE WERE HEARTBROKEN. THIS IS OUR HOME. WE DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE. RICKY REMY. CHIEF OF POLICE. HAS STAYED IN CONTACT WITH MY HUSBAND THE ENTIRE TIME WE WERE GONE. WHEN HE CALLED US AND TOLD US ABOUT THE PROGRAM FOR REHOUSE BAY AND THAT IT WAS POSSIBLE FOR US TO BE ABLE TO COME HOME. WE DON'T WE RAN. WE WANTED TO COME HOME SO BADLY. AND WE GOT ALL THE PAPERWORK IN EVERYTHING. AND THEN WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO MORE FUNDS. AND WE'RE SITTING HERE NOW AT THE MERCY. ANOTHER POLICE OFFICER IN HIS TRAVEL TRAILER. THAT WE'RE LIVING IN. AND WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING, BECAUSE WE HAD OUR HOPES ON GETTING THIS PROGRAM. TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD A HOME BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST TOO EXPENSIVE HERE. EVEN RENT. I MEAN RENT IS MORE THAN A MORTGAGE PAYMENT. SO WE'RE REALLY AT THE MERCY OF THIS PROGRAM AND HOPING BE ABLE TO STAY. OTHERWISE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LEAVE AGAIN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YES, MA'AM. GOOD MORNING ANGELA CLOTH HABITAT FOR COMMUNITY BAY COUNTY TO 901 WEST 17TH STREET IN PANAMA CITY. UM FIRST I WANT TO CONGRATULATE TAMMY AND ALL OF HER STAFF FOR SOME WONDERFUL WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE. UM BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, I WANTED TO COME UP AND THANK YOU ALL FOR, YOU KNOW, MAKING AFFORDABILITY FOR HOUSING AVAILABLE FOR TAKING ON THE SHIP PROGRAM UNDER THE COUNTY. UM AND INCREASING THOSE FUNDS. I DON'T THINK YOU ALL REALIZE HOW MUCH THAT HAS MEANT IN THE PAST YEAR FOR HABITAT FOR HUMANITY, UM, ABOUT A YEAR AGO. WELL, FIRST OF ALL, EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT HABITAT REALLY JUMPED IN AFTER HURRICANE MICHAEL AND DID A LOT OF WORK IN THE COMMUNITY. WELL, ABOUT A YEAR AGO, HABITAT STARTED GOING THROUGH SOME TRANSITIONS. UM MYSELF BEING NEW THERE AT THE E, UM, ALSO, ALL THAT HURRICANE MICHAEL MONEY WAS KIND OF DRYING UP SIMILAR TO WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW, UM AND THEN YOU HAVE COVID. A LOT OF OUR VOLUNTEERS KIND OF DISAPPEARED, SO WE'RE LUCKY TO HAVE A COUPLE VOLUNTEERS COMING. UM AND THEN, OF COURSE, EVERYBODY KNOWS THE COST OF BUILDING SKYROCKETED. SO WE HAD QUITE THE TRANSITION ABOUT THE SAME TIME THAT YOU TOOK AREN'T SURE ABOUT THE SAME TIME THAT YOU EXPANDED THAT TO ABOUT $75,000 TO, UM PER HOMEOWNER, SO WHAT THAT MEANT FOR US? IS THAT WE CONTINUE OUR WORK. WE DIDN'T STOP. WE DIDN'T MISS A BEAT. WE CARRIED ON AND BECAUSE OF THAT, BECAUSE OF YOUR COMMITMENT TO THAT HOUSING, ALL OF THAT HAS TRANSITIONED OUT. I'VE GOT MY BEARINGS. NOW, UM WE'RE GETTING

[00:20:04]

[00:25:01]

HOW DID YOU DO IT? YOU TOOK ALL THE PAPERWORK THAT I HAD ALREADY FILLED OUT. AND IT IS CERTAINLY DISAPPEARED AFTER THEY STOLE MY DOG LIKE THEY DID LAST TIME, YOU KNOW, BUT THEN AGAIN, YOU KNOW, I HEAR THE SINCERITY AND THE HAPPINESS AND THEIR VOICE SAYING TOKEN, I THINK I'M UP TO 28 PEOPLE. NOW THIS GOT THEIR HOUSES CRUSHED AND I HEARD THE SAME SAYING WHIMPER, BUT ONLY WITH YOUR PAIN IN THE LAST ONE Y'ALL CRUSHED WAS A FELLOW THAT HAD HIS HOUSE CAUGHT ON FIRE.

YOU KNOW YOU GOT REBUILD BAY. I WATCH YOUR GUYS' TAKE CORNBREAD FED MEN AND INTIMIDATE THE LOW LADIES AND CRUSHED THEIR PROPERTY WHENEVER THEY GOT A BRAND NEW ROOF ON IT, AND THEN THEY THE LADY HAS THE PRIVILEGE OF HEARING THE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS ARGUING ABOUT THE TRUCK WHO'S GONNA GET DIBS ON IT, AND THIS IS THE SAME PEOPLE THAT WAS SUFFERING FROM HURRICANE MIKE.

YOU KNOW, UNLESS YOU KNOW IF PEOPLE THINK I'M YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW YOUR BEST PUT ON A GOOD SHOW. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU HAVE BEEN DESECRATING THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS. YOU HAVE BEEN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE INNOCENT PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN AND HE'D HAVE BEEN PREYING UPON THE WEAKEST OF THE PEOPLE. YOU KNOW YOU MIGHT DO SOME GOOD OUT THERE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, BUT THAT'S NOT SHOP. THAT'S THEM. YOU GOT YOUR OWN PLAN SET UP. YOU GOT YOUR AGENDA SET UP AND YOU HAVE BEEN CRAVING. THERE HAVE BEEN TURNED PEOPLE'S PROPERTY DOWN BECAUSE IT COMES RIGHT INTO WHERE Y'ALL GUYS ARE PUTTING UP YOUR BIG OLD CONDOMINIUMS AND ALL THAT STUFF.

AM I LYING? NO I'M NOT LYING. I CAN PROVE IT. ANYBODY WANT TO GO TO FACEBOOK? GARY BECK, PANAMA CITY BEACH, YOU'LL GET TO SEE ALL THE DIFFERENT PEOPLE THIS CRYING BECAUSE YOU PEOPLE CRUSHED THEIR HOME. IT MIGHT HAVE HAD A LEAK IN IT, BUT IT WASN'T MAKING WHERE THEY THINK THEY WERE STAYING AT. YOU KNOW, NOW THEY'RE ON THE STREETS, AND IT'S YOUR COMMENTS. MR BECK.

[33.  Bay County Local Provider Participation Fund Assessment]

UM ABOUT THIS. I KNOW WE DID IT LAST YEAR IN AUGUST OF 2021. UME COMMENTS ABOUT THIS IN THE PAST, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY FOLKS YOU'RE FROM THE HOSPITAL. SO IF YOU ARE, PLEASE, I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU AS A PERSON OR INDIVIDUALLY IS IT'S THE THIS THE HOSPITALS OR THE WHOLE WHOLE ENVIRONMENT? THAT ENTITY AS AS IT IS? UM AS WE KNOW BACK THEN THE HOSPITALS WERE. THEY HAD A POLICY AND EFFECTIVE. NO JAB. NO JOB. I HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE CALL ME AT THAT TIME. I'VE HAD EMAILS FROM FOLKS DELIVERY DRIVERS THAT WILL WORK IN DIRECTLY WITH THE HOSPITAL AND THEIR FEAR OF LOSING THEIR JOB BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE THE JOB. AND THERE THEY WERE PLEADING, YOU KNOW. WHAT CAN YOU DO? WHAT CAN YOU DO? AND IT ONLY STOPPED WHEN THE GOVERNOR CAME IN AND SAID IT WAS $10,000 PER HEAD FOR EVERYONE THAT THAT DID THAT. SO ONLY BECAUSE WE'RE IN FLORIDA.

DO I SEE THAT IT ACTUALLY ENDED? UM FOUR. PEOPLE TO DO THIS UP HERE THE WAY I LOOKED AT THIS, UM UP HERE. SOME OF US HAVE THE VACCINATION. SOME OF US HAVING COMMON DENOMINATOR WAS WE ALL CHOSE OF HER OWN FREE WILL TO DO THAT. THE BAY COUNTIANS AND EMPLOYEES THAT WORKED THERE DIDN'T HAVE THAT CHOICE. THEY HAD THEIR THEY HAD A FOOT PUT ON YOUR THROAT FINANCIAL DURESS.

EITHER YOU TAKE THIS OR YOU LOSE YOUR MONEY. NOW THEY COME BACK TO THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THOSE SAME VERY PEOPLE. WARNING US TO PASS A MECHANISM. TO WHERE THEY CAN READ $27 MILLION. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT. THEY FOUND A WAY TO DO IT BEFORE AUGUST 2021. UNLESS THERE'S SOME WAY LEGALLY THAT THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO SHARE. MORE OF THAT MONEY WOULD BE A COUNTY THE WORLD. WE COULD PUT IT IN OUR GENERAL FUND AND PROVIDE THE SERVICES FOR OUR COUNTY. UM HOW WOULD SUGGEST THAT THEY JUST SPEND FOR THEMSELVES AND GO BACK TO DOING WHATEVER THEY'RE DOING PRIOR TO

[00:50:01]

I HAVE NO IDEA WHY OTHER THAN MONEY UM. AND WHAT IT DOES IS THESE PEOPLE GET SICK AND THEN THEY COME RIGHT BACK TO THE HOSPITAL. SO IT BUILDS A PERPETUAL CUSTOMER BASE. SAME WAY THAT DID WITH OPIOIDS. FLOOD THE MARKET. GET PEOPLE ADDICTED . GET THEM SICK. GET HIM COME BACK IN AND ALL TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. SO I GUESS THE BEING ADVOCATES FOR THESE FOLKS, UM.

YOU KNOW THEY THEY HIRED ME AND THEY HIRED US TO REPRESENT THEM. AND I JUST THINK THIS IS ONE WAY. THAT WE CAN UM. I JUST HAVE I JUST HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THEM TAKEN. PEOPLE A COUNTY AND PUT THEM IN FINANCIAL DURESS AND THEN COMING BACK AND ASKING FOR US TO DO THIS. THANK YOU SO. ALL RIGHT. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ANYONE WISHING TO ADDRESS THIS ITEM THEY CAN LOOK PROVIDER PARTICIPATION FUND ASSESSMENT. YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO KIND OF THE PODIUM. ALRIGHT SAYING NO CLOSE THE PUBLIC PORTION. DO I HAVE A MOTION? HAVE A QUESTION. SURE CRIME WOULD STEP UP. KIND OF GO OVER THIS PROGRAM AGAIN, JUST KIND OF BREAK IT DOWN LIKE YOU HAVE DONE IN THE PAST AND JUST TALK TO US ABOUT HOW THIS PROGRAM WORKS AND HOW WE GOT TO THAT. THE FIGURE THAT WE'RE AT TODAY. THE 27 MILLION SO THERE ARE THERE'S. UNSPENT FEDERAL MATCHING DOLLARS AVAILABLE, UM.

FOR THE FEDERAL MEDICAID PROGRAM. UM AND THE STATE AND THE FEDS HAVE WORKED OUT THIS ARRANGEMENT. WHERE, UM INSTEAD OF THE SO NORMALLY THE STATE WOULD PROVIDE THAT MATCHING FUNDS OUT OF GENERAL FUND DOLLARS. FLORIDA HAS DECIDED NOT TO DO THAT. SO THE HOSPITALS HAVE VOLUNTEERED TO TAKE SOME OF THEIR OWN MONEY AND MAKE IT AVAILABLE FOR THESE FOR THESE FEDERAL MATCHING DOLLARS. AND THIS MECHANISM IS A IS A MEANS TO DO THAT, UM THE AH! SO AND IT'S A REGION BY REGION PROCESS . SO OUR REGION I BELIEVE GOES BASICALLY FROM ESCAMBIA TO LEON COUNTY. UM, AND THERE'S A REQUIREMENT THAT UH, UM, EITHER ALL THE HOSPITALS IN THAT REGION PARTICIPATE, ER OR OR IT DOESN'T DOESN'T WORK. SO, UM SO THE SAME PROCESS THAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS GOING ON AND IN THIS CAN BE IN OKALOOSA AND WALTON AND LEON, WHERE ALL OF THE MAJOR HOSPITALS ARE ARE AGREEING TO THESE ASSESSMENTS. UM IF THE. I BELIEVE IF THE ASSESSMENT IN BAY COUNTY DOESN'T HAPPEN, THEN IT IT PROBABLY WOULD CAUSE THE ENTIRE REGION NOT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS. UM THE ONLY UH, YOU KNOW, COMMISSIONER HIM MAKE SOME MAKE SOME GOOD POINTS. THE ONLY THING I WOULD ADD WOULD BE THAT NOT ALL THE HOSPITALS AND EVEN IN BAY COUNTY ADOPTED POLICY. HE REFERENCED AND NOW THE HOSPITALS CURRENTLY HAVE. THAT REQUIREMENT IS BECAUSE THE STATE CAME IN AND PROHIBITED THOSE SORT OF ARRANGEMENTS SO WHAT WAS THE.

TELL ME THE ADMIN IF YOU WERE GETTING OUT OF IT AS 100 GRAND A. WE GET $100,000 ADMIN FEE OF FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE EFFORTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS, UM EACH YEAR. UM THAT'S A THAT'S A FEE THAT OTHER COUNTIES NEGOTIATED AND. AND THEN WE ADDED TO OUR OWN RESOLUTION. SO LAST YEAR UM, AS PART OF THE ASSESSMENT. THERE IS AN EXTRA $100,000 THAT STAYED WITH A COUNTY THAT WAS ADDED TO OUR GENERAL FUND TO ASSIST US WITH OUR EFFORTS AND ADMINISTERING THIS PROGRAM. SO I GUESS THEY'RE THEY'RE COUGHING UP 100,000 TO GET 27 MILLION. THAT'S SOMETHING ELSE I WOULD DO ALL DAY LONG, TOO. YOUR QUESTION? YES, THANK YOU. DO I HAVE A MUSH? I WANT YOU TO

[00:55:02]

[01:00:02]

GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS SHARON SCHWARZ AND REPRESENTING LIFEGUARD AMBULANCE 14 30 HARRISON AVENUE HERE IN PANAMA CITY. WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR OVER 10 YEARS, PROVIDING THE SAME SERVICE THAT THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING. WE HAVE SEEN PANAMA CITY THROUGH SEVERAL DISASTERS, INCLUDING MICHAEL AND THE MOST RECENT PANDEMIC, AND WE JUST WANTED TO BE ABLE TO BE IN FRONT OF YOU GUYS TODAY TO EXPRESS OUR DEDICATION OR CONTINUED DEDICATION, REGARDLESS OF THE PROVIDER, BUT JUST MAKE SURE THAT THE RECENT CHALLENGES ARE WELL KNOWN. WE ALSO CURRENTLY BECAUSE OF THE LEAVING OF THE OTHER PROVIDER, HAVE A RESURGENCE OF WORKFORCE. WE HAVE 53 COUNTY RESIDENTS THAT WERE EMPLOYING RIGHT NOW, THAT DOES INCLUDE UNCERTIFIED. SO WE DO HAVE THE EMTS AND PARAMEDICS. OBVIOUSLY WE DO HIRE UNCERTIFIED PEOPLE RIGHT OUT OF SCHOOL HIGH SCHOOL SOMETIMES AND WE DO PAY FOR THEM TO GO TO AREA SCHOOLS. AND THIS IS JUST FEEDING OUR RESIDENTS TO BECOME LEADERS IN OUR AGENCY. UM YEAH. MY NAME IS AARON CARTER. I'M A LIEUTENANT HERE AT LIFEGUARD AMBULANCE SERVICE WITH, UH NO. THE OTHER SERVICE HAD PULLED OUT. WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THAT TWICE NOW WITH CENTURY AND OUR FIRST AID. WE'RE IN THE PROCESS ABSORBING THOSE EMPLOYEES THAT THEY HAD LEFT UNEMPLOYED IMMEDIATELY. WE'RE STILL GOING THROUGH TRAINING WITH THEM PROVIDING WE'RE ORDERING SUPPLIES AND GETTING NEW TRUCKS ON SO WE'LL HAVE ENOUGH SUPPLIES BY THE FIRST OF THE MONTH TO PROVIDE THE CARE. THAT OUR HOSPITALS REQUIRE. UH WE'RE NOT ASKING ANYBODY TO, YOU KNOW? STOP OR PREVENT ANOTHER SERVICE AND COMING IN. WE WANT YOU TO MAKE IT TO THE TABLE IT AND ALLOW US TIME. TO GET OUR STUFF TOGETHER WITH A COUNTY M S AND THESE NEW EMPLOYEES COMING ON. UH, WHERE? I MM. AN AREA WHERE WE'RE MAINLY, UH TOURISM RIGHT. I'LL CALL VOLUME DOES DROP OFF. COMING UP IN THE FALL OF THE YEAR. SO WE'RE HERE.

WE'RE GONNA BE HERE. WE'VE BEEN HERE THROUGH THE PANDEMICS AND HURRICANES. WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. MY NAME IS DUANE. TELL US, UH, I'LL TAKE JUST A MOMENT. LOOKS LIKE I GOT 54 SECONDS. UM TO TOUCH ON WHAT THEY SAID. AND TO TAG ON TO AARON. WE WOULD JUST ASK THAT I DELIGHT TO VOTE.

AH WOULD BE PUT IN PLACE HERE SO WE CAN TRULY ASSESS THE NEED, RIGHT? I THINK, UM, IN TERMS OF ANOTHER AMBULANCE SERVICE, WE WE'VE BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD TWICE. WE'VE GOT THE SAME RESULT EACH TIME. AND SO WITH US BEING ABLE TO STAFF WHAT WE HAVE STAFF WHY WOULDN'T WE SIT DOWN AT THE TABLE WITH BAY COUNTY WITH THE BAY COUNTY LEADERSHIP AND REALLY, TRULY LOOK AT WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS WHERE WE NEED TO FIX? BEFORE WE JUST PULL THE TRIGGER AND DO THE SAME THING WE'VE DONE TWO TIMES BEFORE. I FEEL AS THOUGH IF WE IF WE JUMP BEFORE WE SIT DOWN AT THE TABLE AND MEET, UH WE MAY END UP WITH THE SAME RESULT WE HAD BEFORE, SO THAT WOULD BE OUR ASK OF YOU TODAY. GOOD. THANK YOU, SIR. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THE SIDE? ALRIGHT SEE YOU NOW WE WILL CLOSE THE PATIENT. OPEN IT UP CONVERSATION. MOST. CHEAP.

ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD. YEAH I THINK CHIEF COME UP AND SPEAK TO US. GOOD MORNING, MR CHAIRMAN, COMMISSIONERS. WE'VE REVIEWED THE OUR JOB OR MY JOB. MORNIN ALSO WAS NOT SIR. YOU SWEAR FOR HIM TO TELL THE TRUTH , THE WHOLE TRUTH. NOTHING BUT TRUTH, BUT THEN YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET I DO. THANK YOU. MY ROLE IN THIS PROCESS. UM AS WE REVIEW THE STATUTE IS TO REVIEW THE APPLICANT TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE THE CAPABILITIES TO PERFORM. AND THAT'S WHAT WE DID WITH AMIR PROBLEM. UM IN POLLING THE HOSPITALS. THERE WAS ALSO SUPPORT FROM BOTH THE HOSPITALS.

UM UM. GULF COAST ACTUALLY WROTE A LETTER IN SUPPORT OF BRINGING ANOTHER. E. M S TRANSPORT.

COMPANY INTO THE PROCESS. UM. I BELIEVE THAT THE MARKET WILL CORRECT ITSELF. I BELIEVE THAT THIS FREE ON THE PROCESSED, UM, YOU KNOW, WORKS. AND WE'LL WORK AGAIN. AMIR PRO IS ALSO AGREED.

TO HELP US WITH OUR SPILLOVER OF 911 CALLS. AND UM, FIRST TO AID WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS THEY HAD.

[01:05:04]

THEY WERE AVERAGING ABOUT 10 A DAY. BUT DURING THE SUMMER BEFORE THEY LEFT, AND SO THERE THERE WAS IT WAS LOST TO US. WE HAVE REARRANGED OUR SCHEDULES AND STUFF TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE.

AND AS THE SEASON AS, UM, LITTLE DOWN SOME OF THE TOURIST SEASON. WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO HANDLE EVERYTHING. IT'S UM IT'S A GREAT BENEFIT TO US TO HAVE A SERVICE THAT CAN HANDLE THE 911 CALLS THE ROLLOVERS AS WE CALL THEM. AND WE BELIEVE AMERICA PRO CAN DO THAT, AS FIRST TO EIGHT HAD HAD DONE THAT BEFORE. SO THAT'S THE ONLY TWO SERVICES THAT THE ONLY SERVICE THAT HAS EVER HELPED US WITH THE 911 COSMOS. FIRST, THEY AN AMERICAN PRO HAS IS PART OF THE REVIEW. HAS PROMISED TO DO THAT, TOO. AND FROM MY PERSPECTIVE. WE REVIEWED THEM, AND THEY APPEAR TO HAVE THE CAPABILITIES, PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT. TO FULFILL THE AGREEMENT. GOOD QUESTION TO YOU.

THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU. WELL, I'D LIKE TO START OFF WITH JUST THE APPLICANT. WE APPRECIATE YOU PUTTING THE YOU KNOW THE APPLICATION TO BE HERE IN BAY COUNTY. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR COMPANIES THAT WANT TO BE PART OF A COUNTY TO HELP US, UM WE HAVE UNFORTUNATE HAD TO GO THROUGH SEVERAL DISASTERS WITH WILDFIRES AND PANDEMIC AND HURRICANE AND SO WE'RE ALWAYS GRATEFUL FOR RESOURCES AND INVESTMENT IN BAY COUNTY. UM ALSO WANT TO THANK THOSE THAT ARE CURRENTLY SERVING BAY COUNTY . YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN HERE THROUGH THICK AND THIN. YOU'LL CONTINUE TO BE HERE NO MATTER WHAT DECISIONS MADE. I THINK YOU GUYS WILL STILL CONTINUE TO THRIVE. UM AND ERIN, I GOTTA SAY , AND I GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL TOGETHER, AND HE'S GOT SO MUCH BETTER HAIR THAN I DID. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT. BUT ANYWAY, UM, BUT WE ARE GRATEFUL THAT PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW IT'S UNFORTUNATELY IT'S COMPANIES CLOSED FOR WHATEVER REASONS, BUT UM, WE KNOW IT'S A BIG INVESTMENT TO BRING YOUR EQUIPMENT, YOUR PERSONNEL THE START UP THE FACILITIES. SO JUST JUST THE THOUGHT THAT YOU ALL WANT TO BE IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE ARE GRATEFUL. SO WITH THAT, I'LL OVER YOU GUYS. ONE THING I'D LIKE TO SAY A IS BEFORE I GOT ELECTED. I SERVED AS LIAISON. IT WAS RIGHT AFTER THE HURRICANE AND DEALING WITH CENTURY AT THE TIME AND LIFEGUARD. UM I APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS OF BOTH, BUT I THINK THE FACT THAT WE HAD SOMETHING LIKE THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, I RESPECT YOUR REQUEST, BUT UNFORTUNATELY HMM.

WE DON'T NEED WE WERE HAVING A HARD ENOUGH TIME AT THAT POINT IN TIME WITH THE TWO. THERE IS WELL THAT I GET NERVOUS AND IS UM, CHIEF SAID ABOUT THEM HELPING OUT WITH OR 911 CALLS IN DIFFERENT THINGS. UM WITH HOW FAR WE WERE HAVING TO SEND PEOPLE AWAY AN AMBULANCE SERVICE . I'D BE LEERY OF NOT HAVING ANOTHER ONE IN IN MARKET WORKING WITH IT. AND PROTECTING OUR CITIZENS. AND I AGREE, UM. THE DECISION WE HAVE TO MAKE IS WHAT'S IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF BAY COUNTY AND I BELIEVE A. ANOTHER COMPANY HERE IN BAY COUNTY WOULD ONLY HELP. SO I FEEL THAT MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS DECISION TODAY WOULD BE NECESSARY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT NOT TO TABLE IT. YEAH I CAN JUST ONLY ECHO SOME OF THE SAME COMMENTS. OTHER GUYS HAVE SPOKEN, UM WE DO APPRECIATE YOU GUYS THAT HAVE BEEN HERE. FOR LONGEVITY. WE DO APPRECIATE THAT WE REALLY DO. ONE OF THE UM MOST FAVORABLE VOTES ARE BEST VOTES. I GUESS YOU COULD CALL IT ONE OF THE THINGS I DID, UM, SEVERAL YEARS BACK WAS A PROVEN THE C O P. C N FOR THE LIFE FLIGHT. UM, AND THAT THING HAS LITERALLY SAVED LIVES. AND THAT'S YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, UM I WAS. I FEEL GRATEFUL THAT I DID FOR OUR COUNTY. AS BILL SAYS, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO LOOK OUT FOR BAY COUNTY. UM AND I THINK ANOTHER SERVICE HERE WOULD HELP. UM THE ATTRITION RATE AS PEOPLE IN THAT BUSINESS UNDERSTAND IS QUITE HIGH. BECAUSE OF THE BURNOUT AND HAVING EXTRA BOOTS ON THE GROUND . SO TO SPEAK, WOULD, UM I THINK WOULD HELP AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THESE OTHER TWO COMPANIES DECIDED TO LEAVE. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A BUSINESS DECISION, BUT THAT'S THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO MAKE. AND WE CERTAINLY CAN'T MAKE THAT FOR YOU. BUT OTHERWISE I'M I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH HAVING AMERICA O ON, UM I'VE GOT CONFIDENCE IN

FURTHER NEGATIVELY IMPACT THEIR DRAINAGE ISSUES. OKAY, DO WE NEED TO PUT THAT ON THE RECORD? YES, THERE THERE. THEY SHOULD BE INCLUDED WITH YOUR PACKAGE. PERFECT. THANK YOU, SIR. ANOTHER QUESTION STAFF. WHAT IS THE AFRICAN HERE? YOUR PRESENTATION. IT WOULD JUST TAKE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD PLACE. GOOD MORNING, MR CHAIRMAN. COMMISSIONERS MY NAME IS DEE DEE ROWAN 558 HARRISON AVENUE AND THE APPLICANTS REPRESENTATIVES. UM WE ARE HERE SEEKING A CHANGE FROM RESIDENTIAL TO GENERAL COMMERCIAL. APPROXIMATELY 4.5 ACRES. UM THIS IS THIS PROPERTY AS YOU KNOW IT, REALLY. IT'S ON 3 90. IT'S A BUSINESS COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR. IT JUST IT JUST MAKES SENSE. THE LANDOWNER. MR PORTER MENTIONED OWNS THE SMALLER TRIANGULAR PIECE. UM I GUESS THE LEFT ON THE MAP THAT THERE, BUT EITHER WAY, IT WAS DECREASED WITH THE WIDENING OF 3 90. SO

[01:25:02]

I'M SURE IF YOU TOOK A SURVEY YOU WOULD FIND THAT MOST PEOPLE LIVE HERE FOR THE SMALL TOWN FIELD IF THE RESIDENTS OF BAY COUNTY ONE OF THE LARGE METROPOLITAN WE WOULD MOVE TO MIAMI, FORT LAUDERDALE, TAMPA OR ORLANDO. THREE MILLION ACRES OF FOREST LAND DAMAGE VALUED AT 1.3 BILLION FROM LOST DUE TO HURRICANE MICHAEL REPAIR WHAT'S BROKEN AND STOP TRYING TO BUILD MORE JUST TO MAKE MONEY. THERE ARE PLENTY OF VACANT LOTS AND RECENTLY DEMOED BUILDINGS ALONG THE STRETCH OF 3 90 BUILD ON THE FLATLANDS AND LEAVE THE FOREST ALONE. HAVEN'T WE LOST ENOUGH TREES ALREADY? HOMEOWNERS WITH MORTGAGES REQUIRED BY INSURERS TO PURCHASE FLOOD INSURANCE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD STATES. 225 MILLION FLOOD INSURANCE CLAIMS PAID FROM HURRICANE MICHAEL, ILLEGAL FOR DRAINAGE TO RUN OFF TO ONTO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES EVERY TIME IT RAINS SAID PROPERTY UNDER WATER FOR DAYS DEVELOPED IS ALLOWED, THE SITUATION WILL BECOME WORSE. THE PROPERTY SPOKESMAN WILL SUGGEST THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S MAIN CONCERN IS FLOODING. MY PRIMARY CONCERN IS NUISANCE. I'M TOTAL BAY COUNTY DOESN'T ALLOW APARTMENTS TO BE BUILT ON THIS SIDE OF THE BRIDGE, SO I BELIEVE THE OWNERS INTENT IS TO RESUME. TWO COMMERCIAL THROUGH THE COUNTY, THEN ANNEXED INTO THE CITY. THAT DOES ALLOW APARTMENTS . I'M SURE WHAT YOU WOULD BE OPPOSED TO A HIGH RISE APARTMENT OR ANY NUMBER OF BUSINESSES ALLOWED AND C THREE ZONE BEHIND YOUR HOUSE. THIS IS DIRECTLY BEHIND MY HOUSE. COMMERCIALIZATION WOULD DECREASE THE NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY VALUE. WE HAVE A SIGNED PETITION FROM EVERYONE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO FIGHT THE REZONING 50 SIGNATURES AS OWNERS OF DEVELOPED PROPERTY. EACH OF THE HOMEOWNERS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAVE BEEN PAYING ALMOST 10 TIMES MORE IN PROPERTY TAXES, THEN THE OWNER OF 13 18, 5 ACRES, UNDEVELOPED LAND DEVELOPED LAND PAYS 10 TIMES MORE THAN UNDEVELOPED LAND. WE KNOW THAT BECAUSE WE JUST SOLD FIVE ACRES AND DELTON WHICH WAS 10 TIMES LESS THAN THAN WHAT WE PAY FOR OUR HOUSE. THE ELECTED COMMISSIONERS OF BAY COUNTY SHOULD VOTE IN FAVOR OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS WHO HAD PAID SO MUCH MORE DEBATE COUNTY AND VOTE NO TO THE GEORGIA OWNER OF 13 18 , WHO INHERITED THE PROPERTY FROM HIS FATHER AND WHO BRAGGED ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY HE TOOK FROM THE EXPANSION OF HIGHWAY 3 90 TO BETTER SERVE YOUR CONSTITUENTS DON'T THINK OF A COUNTY AS A MONEY MAKING BUSINESS, BUT RATHER THINK OF BAY COUNTY AS A HOME. THIS IS FOR ALL THE LISTENERS ON 90.7. I DON'T SEE THE EQUIPMENT. BUT IF THEY'RE STILL LISTENING IF THESE COMMISSIONERS VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE REZONING TO COMMERCIAL, THEY ARE VOTING IN FAVOR OF THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR. THEY ARE NOT REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR THEM REALLY RUN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, SIR. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ISLAND? YES, MA'AM. MY NAME IS HEIDI PHILLIPS . I'M ONE OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS.

I LIVE AT 12 18 WITH 28TH PLACE PANAMA CITY. I OPPOSE THE REZONING OF 13 18 ST ANDREWS BOULEVARD, THIS PROPERTY DIRECTLY BEHIND MY HOME AND SEVERAL OF MY NEIGHBOR'S HOMES.

THIS PROPERTY WAS UP FOR ANNEXING INTO THE CITY AND THEN VERY ZONING. COMMERCIAL USE IN 2019. I HAVE A PETITION OF 50 SECRETARIES OPPOSING THIS REZONING. WE OPPOSE IT, THEN WE OPPOSE IT. NOW AS ELECTED OFFICIALS, YOU ARE EXPECTED TO PROTECT THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE CITIZENS OF A COUNTY. I UNDERSTAND THE COUNTY WOULD READ MORE OF AVENUE FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY. THE RESIDENTS OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD NEED TO COME FIRST I HAVE BEEN

[01:30:04]

SUBSTANTIALLY MORE FLOODING. THIS AREA IS ALREADY IN A FLOOD ZONE WITH ALL THE TREES YOU LOST FROM HURRICANE MICHAEL. ONCE THE SPANISH COMMERCIALLY DEVELOPED, IT WILL BECOME A PARKING LOT AND ALL OF WHAT WILL RUN INTO OUR YARDS AND HOMES. ACCORDING TO THE E P A. THIS IS ILLEGAL. ONE OF THE GENTLEMEN ON THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD TO JUSTICE ISSUE AND TOLD US ONCE AGAIN FIRST INFRASTRUCTURES BUILT. IT SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE FLOODING. WELL, SHOULD IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH. THEY WILL DESTROY LOCAL WILDLIFE HABITAT. MOST OF THE TREES IMPORTS ARE BEING CUT DOWN FOR DEVELOPMENT. THE POPULATION OF ANIMALS THAT MAKE THE FORCE OR HOME HAVE DECREASED BECAUSE OF DISAPPEARING HABITAT . ONE OF THOSE IS ABOUT THEY'RE LOSING THE NATURAL ROOTS SIZES FOR US ARE REMOVED. THEY HELP US BY USING HUNCHES. MOSQUITOES TONIGHT MUCH MORE EFFICIENT THAN THE COUNTY DISPUTED CONTROL. WITH THIS PROPERTY LEFT A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. THERE WILL BE TREES FOR THESE AMAZING ANIMALS TO ROOST IN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS. YOU'RE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT EASY TREES IN THE YARDS OF WILDLIFE TO MAKE THEIR HOMES. POTENTIALLY LOWER PROPERTY VALUES OF THE EXISTING COMMUNITY. 13 ST ANDREW'S FULL OF ARTIST PART OF THIS COMMUNITY. WOULD YOU WANT A BUSINESS IN YOUR BACKYARD OR IN YOUR COMMUNITY? WELL, THERE ARE THOSE OF US THAT PLAN TO LIVE AND DIE HERE. SOME OF US WANT SOMEONE TO SELL AND RELOCATE. MR DANIEL SULLIVAN. THE PROPERTY UNDER LIVES IN GEORGIA. AND HERE THIS LAND FROM HIS FATHER, HE'S BEING PAID BEEN PAYING TAXES ON UNDEVELOPED LAND. I HAVE BEEN PAYING TAXES ON THIS HOUSE FOR 26 YEARS. I KNOW FOR A FACT. THAT DEVELOPED LAND PACE, 10 TIMES MORE THAN UNDEVELOPED LAND. SO ALL THE HORMONES IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD EACH OF US 7,000,010 TIMES MORE EACH YEAR IN TAXES AND THIS MAN HOUSE YOU NEED TO LISTEN AND TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF MYSELF AND MY NEIGHBORS, THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN PAYING PROPERTY TAXES ON OUR HOMES FOR YEARS, MR SULLIVAN TOLD ME AND MY HUSBAND LET IT GET PAID COUNSELING COUNSELING. HIS WORDS FOR THE EXPANSION OF 39 DAILY WANTS TO SELL THE REST OF THE OF HIS LAND TO BUILD A MILLION DOLLAR RETIREMENT HOME FOR HIM AND HIS WIFE. WELL, THIS IS MY RETIREMENT HOME AND I DON'T WANT TO BUSINESS BEHIND IT. IT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE TO REZONE THE SMALLER PARCEL ARE ONE SINGLE FAMILY SELLS TO DEVELOPER AND BUILD RESIDENTIAL HOMES CONDUCIVE WITH THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD. THERE ARE PLENTY OF EMPTY LOTS TO BUILD ON THE BOARDS OF THE CITY MANAGER MARCO QUEEN, WE HAVE ENOUGH PARKING LOTS. THANK YOU. GOD BLESS YOU. THANK YOU HAVE THE PETITION IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE IT IF YOU LEAVE IT WITH HER. YES, MA'AM. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE? I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK OVER HERE? YES, SIR. JOHN CONES 25 10 STANFORD ROAD, I OWN THE LAND. DIRECTLY THE LITTLE TRIANGLE DIRECTLY TO THE EAST OF IT. I'VE GOT RENTAL BUILDINGS ON THERE. I'M NOT DEBATING USED OF IT. UM MY QUESTION WOULD BE WHAT WOULD BE THE INTENT OF THE USAGE. IF THIS GETS APPROVED. THAT'S NUMBER ONE UM AND IF IT DOES GET APPROVED AS A CAR BLOCKS, YOU CAN PUT ANY KIND OF BUSINESS THEY WANT. I DON'T WANT TO TATTOO SHOP. I DON'T MIND A GAS STATION NUMBER THREE. THE DRAINAGE IS A HUGE ISSUE. MAD WITH MY BUILDING FOR FLOODING RIGHT NOW. IF YOU LOOK AT THAT MAP, ROBERT, YOU CAN SEE THE LITTLE RED DEVIL TRIANGLE. I'M JUST TO THE JUST BELOW IT. THERE WAS A DITCH THERE FOR 40 YEARS AND THE NEW DEVELOPMENT BUILDING, THEN THEY DIDN'T REALIZE. CITY DEVELOPERS HAD NO IDEA SO NOW THAT DIGITS FILLED IN MY BUILDINGS ARE FLOODING, SO WHOEVER YOU GUYS, THIS IS GONNA BE A BIG PROBLEM. SO WE GOT TO TAKE CARE OF THAT. SO ANYWAY, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE INTENT OF THE USES AND ONCE IT'S IF IT'S APPROVED. IS IT CARTE BLANCHE? OR DO YOU GUYS STILL HAVE THE APPROVAL PROCESS? YES OR NO? WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS GOES THERE? SO WE'LL HAVE THE PLANNING DIRECTOR AT THE END OF IT, HE'LL COME UP AND TELL YOU THE ALLOWABLE USES WHETHER THEY KNOW WHAT THE USES ARE NOT. YOU KNOW THE DEVELOPER AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION UNTIL YOU DON'T KNOW YET. THAT'S IT. THEY'LL HAVE TO TELL US THAT ALRIGHT.

COOL. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ALBUM? YES, SIR. DILBERT SUMY 28 27 JAMES AND DR UH, I LIVE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD OF LIVED THERE SINCE, UH 78 KATE BEHIND THIS PROPERTY OR TO THE TO THE SOUTH OF THIS PROPERTY, AND IT WAS STATED THAT THE ONLY REASONABLE USE FOR THIS WAS TO WHAT WAS TO REZONE IT. I DISAGREE WITH THAT.

OKAY, RESIDENTIAL ONE. IS EXACTLY WHAT IT SHOULD BE ZONED FOR. THAT'S WHAT MY PROPERTY IS OWNED FOR, AND WE'D LIKE TO SEE IT REMAIN RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS? YES, MA'AM. MANNING'S PATRICIA BIRD AND 11 30 15. LANNY LANE ALSO OWN THE PROPERTY AT 27 27 IRAN DRAFT, WHICH IS BEING RESTORED,

[01:35:08]

BECAUSE OF 3 90. AND THE TRAFFIC ON 3 90 IS ONLY GOING TO INCREASE ITS GOING TO BE HORRIFIC. AND IF YOU PUT A COMMERCIAL THERE, THAT'S ON THE CURVE. IT'S ACTUALLY DOESN'T SHOW IT THERE. BUT THAT'S ON THAT DANGEROUS CURVE. HOW ARE PEOPLE GOING TO GET IN AND OUT? YOU CAN ONLY THEN TURN ONE WAY BECAUSE YOU CERTAINLY CAN'T CALL TURNOUT LEFT INTO, UM 3 90. AND THAT'S WHAT BOTHERS ME. ALSO IS THE TRAFFIC. IT'S THE FLOODING. IT'S THE TRAFFIC. THAT WE ALREADY ENDURE AND HOW MUCH MORE IT WILL BE. AND I JUST WANT I BROUGHT SOMETHING HERE THAT UM, COMMISSIONER GRIFFITHS STATED AND HE WOULD UNDERSTAND. SO I BROUGHT THIS ON HIS ACCEPTANCE SPEECHES IS RECENT ACCEPTANCE SPEECH TO THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE. AND IT'S QUOTE, GRIFFITHS SAID. HIS PATH TO POLITICS RANDOMLY BEGAN ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO, WHEN THE COUNTY WAS GROWING AND DEVELOPING ITS ZONING MAPS AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. HIS FAMILY OWNED A HOTEL ON THE WEST END OF PANAMA CITY BEACH THAT WAS AT RISK BECAUSE SOME RESIDENTS WERE PUSHING FOR THE SURROUNDING AREA TO BE SOUND RESIDENTIAL. IF THE ZONING CHANGE HAD BEEN APPROVED , IT WOULD ADMIT HIS FAMILY'S HOTEL COULD NOT HAVE BEEN REBUILT IF DAMAGED, AT LEAST 51% BY NATURAL DISASTER. WELL HE SHOULD UNDERSTANDS EVERYBODY SHOULD UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IMPACTS YOUR PROPERTY. THIS SHOULD REMAIN RESIDENTIAL BECAUSE WE NEED HOMES. WE DON'T NEED MORE APARTMENTS. WE CERTAINLY DON'T NEED MORE GAS STATIONS. SO YOU KNOW, MY THING IS, WE JUST NEED TO LET IT BE I'M NOT OPPOSED TO HOMES, BUT I'M OPPOSED TO AN APARTMENT COMPLEX GOING THERE THAT THE PEOPLE LOOK INTO MY BACKYARD. THAT SIMPLE AND YOU WOULDN'T WANT THEM LOOKING INTO YOUR BACKYARD EITHER. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS ANYONE ELSE? WITH THE APPLICANT. NUMBER TWO FOR REBUTTAL. COMMISSIONER. DEEDEE AROUND 558 HARRISON AVENUE. JUST BRIEFLY, UM THERE'S CONCERNS ABOUT BEING A NUISANCE. I KNOW THAT THIS COMMISSION HAS WORKED VERY HARD RECENTLY PASSED SOME ORDINANCES TO ADDRESS AND LIGHTING, NOISE ORDINANCES, THINGS LIKE THAT. THAT WILL OBVIOUSLY COME INTO PLAY TO THE EXTENT THAT THIS IS COMMERCIAL PROPERTY. THERE'S A 25 FT BUFFER REQUIRED. I'M SORRY TO EXTENT THAT IT'S COMMERCIAL PROPERTY. THERE WILL BE A 25 FT BUFFER REQUIREMENT WHICH WILL AFFORD GREATER PROTECTION. TO THE SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL AREAS. UM I CAN APPRECIATE THE CONCERNS ABOUT SAFETY, ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC. UM I COULD. I GUESS I SPENT THAT THAT SAME ARGUMENT ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC WEIGHS IN FAVOR OF CHANGING THE ZONING TO THE COMMERCIAL INSTEAD OF RESIDENTIAL BECAUSE OF HAVING RESIDENTIAL ON THE ON THE COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR. THERE'S NO OUTLET EXCEPT FOR ON HIGHWAY 3 90. UM A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THE STORM WATER, WHICH AGAIN WILL BE HAPPY TO BE TAKEN CARE OF THROUGH THE STORM WATER PROCESS. THERE'S ALSO SPECULATION ABOUT WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH THE PROPERTY. UM, THERE IS, UM AT THIS POINT, THERE'S JUST PLANNING FOR FUTURE GROWTH GROWTH. THAT MAKES SENSE . I KNOW THAT ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS ASKED ME ABOUT WHETHER THIS PROPERTY OWNER WOULD AGREE TO NOT PUT A GAS STATION HERE. UM AND I CAN SUBMIT TO THE COMMISSION THAT HE WILL AGREE TO THAT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT, UM I GUESS APPARENTLY , A LOT OF YOUR EARS HAVE BEEN BENT A GOOD BIT ABOUT HOW MANY GAS STATIONS AND CAR WASHES THERE ARE IN THIS TOWN, SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HE'S WANTED. CONCEDE IN ADDITION TO THE 25 BUFFER. HE'S WILLING TO KEEP IT AS A LANDSCAPE BUFFER AS WELL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT THAT CONCLUDES THE PUBLIC HEARING WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. UM ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF OR ANY I GOT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS JUST FOR

[01:40:04]

THEY COULD PUT APPROXIMATELY 40 HOMES ON IT EXCEPT CORRECT. EDDIE ABOUT 4.5 ACRES 4.5 ACRES . I WAS THINKING FIVE TO CLOSER, PROBABLY AROUND 30 TO 32. OKAY? 25 FT BUFFER. UM IF THIS IS APPROVED I WOULD WANT TO SEE YOU KNOW SHE SHE MENTIONED LANDSCAPE, BUT I WOULD WANT TO SEE A YEAH. PUT THERE. AND ANYTHING THAT A BUNCH RESIDENTIAL. I WANT TO SEE IT OFFENSE UP THERE. I, UH PRIVACY FENCES. UM. STORM DRAIN WILL BE ADDRESSED DURING THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER. THAT'S CORRECT AND THE STORM DRAIN MORE. THE LAWYERS WILL HAVE TO CONTAIN THEIR OWN WATER CANNOT RUN IT OFF ON ANYBODY ELSE'S PROPERTY. YES. THE LINE ON THIS. MAP THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE. THIS LITTLE LITTLE ON IS THAT WHAT IS THAT? THAT'S NOT SHOWING ABOUT THAT'S NOT SHOWING ANY BOUNDARIES OF ANYTHING, IS IT? YOU SPEAK IN SMALL LINE THAT CUTS ACROSS THE CORNER THERE? THAT'S JUST A. THAT'S NOT SHOWING THE ANYTHING FOR PROJECTING THE SIXTH LINE THAT'S COMING, IS IT? IT'S JUST I'M LYING ON THE MAP. JUST A LINE ON THE MAP. IT'S NOT SHOWING ANY ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR. THAT'S ALL I GOT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS. ONE QUESTION IS SAYING STORMWATER, AND THEN YOU MENTIONED WITH THE O T. AND SO WHATEVER IS DONE, THERE WILL HAVE TO THINK UP WITH AT THE SAME TIME. WHATEVER DEVELOPMENT OCCURS, WHETHER IT'S RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL BECAUSE THERE'S NO OTHER PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAYS TO DISCHARGE, TOO, SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH DOTTIE FOR BOTH ACCESS. AND, UM LET'S SEE IF IT WAS REMAINED RESIDENTIAL COULD THEY COME THROUGH THE COMMERCIAL PIECE TO ACCESS THE RESIDENTIAL? WELL, THEY HAVE TO CHANGE THAT TO RESIDENTIAL TO BE PART OF A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. NO, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO CHANGE THAT. THEY COULD DO THAT. WHAT ABOUT ACCESS FROM RESIDENTIAL INTO THE COMMERCIAL? IS THAT POSSIBLE IN THE FUTURE IF TO AFFORD SAY THAT THE COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY IF IT'S THIS PASSES IN A COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY THAT CAN THEY COME THROUGH THE RESIDENTIAL THE ONLY WAY I KNOW THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO IT IS TO BUY A LOT AND MAKING COMMERCIAL IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT, AND THAT WOULD BE HIGHLY YEAH. UNLIKELY TO BE APPROVED. THE ONLY ACCESS TO THIS PROPERTY WOULD BE. NOT THROUGH HIGHWAY 3 90. YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS THIS PROBLEM. AGGRESSION AGGRESS ONLY THROUGH HOW A 3 90 CORRECT. THE OTHER CHALLENGE THEY'VE GOT IS UTILITIES IN

[01:45:06]

I'M NOT SURE WHERE THE CITY HAS THEIR UTILITIES, BUT THERE'S REGULATIONS THAT DEPENDING ON THE DISTANCE OF PROXIMITY THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO CONNECT. UM AND AGAIN, YOU MAKE A VALID POINT THAT THAT WOULD REQUIRE ANNEXATION. BECAUSE DEVELOPERS RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL, THEY WILL BE ON WELL AND SUBJECT UNTIL ELLIS THE CITY PANAMA CITY CHANGED OUR POLICY ALLOWING TO CONNECT UTILITIES. I DO. DISCUSSION MOTION. THERE'S A LACK OF EMOTION THAT FAILS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. OH, NO, NO, I DON'T. I DON'T YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? UM. CONCERNS WITH IT, UM. I MEAN, I KIND OF SEE WHAT THE PROPERTY WELL, I GUESS I DO WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS WANTING TO BASICALLY CONSOLIDATE. UM AGAINST SOME COMMERCIAL THAT HE ALREADY OWNS FROM THE WAY I GATHERED UM. OF COURSE, THE BUFFER THAT WE TALKED ABOUT LOOKING AT THIS IS GOING TO BE ON TWO SIDES. UM NOT JUST ONE. AND A LOT OF I KNOW THAT I DO PERSONALLY KNOW, TOO, THAT THE DRAINAGE IN THAT AREA IS A PROBLEM AND WE ARE A BUDDING PANAMA CITY AREA THAT UM. SOME OF THAT IS GOING TO BE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO ALLEVIATE THAT BECAUSE I KNOW EXCUSE ME. UM I MEAN, I JUST PERSONALLY KNOW THE PROBLEM IS THAT MR JOHN'S HAVING WITH THEIR PLACE AND WITH THE CITY? TRYING TO ALLEVIATE THE FLOODING PROBLEMS. THE. THAT IF WE GO IF IT GOES TO DEVELOPMENT ORDER THAT FLOODING. IN THE WATER RETENTION AND ALL THAT IS GOING TO BE UM I THINK IT'S GONNA BE A LOT. AS I SEE IT, I MEAN, I KNOW IT'S 4.5 ACRES. YOU DO 25 FT BUFFER ON WE'RE A BUNCH THE RESIDENTIAL AND THEN YOU START SHARING WATER. THAT POOR HALF ACRES IS GOING TO GET VERY SMALL. YEAH. I DON'T KNOW THAT THE I KNOW THAT DEVELOPMENT ORDER WOULD WOULD ADDRESS THE CONCERNS OF THE OF THE WATER RUNOFF. NO MORE THAN A. 30 35 HOUSES 30 32 HOUSES THERE AS FAR AS ROOFTOPS. YOU KNOW, THE AMOUNT OF IMPERVIOUS SURFACE. RIGHT THE SAFEGUARDS THAT I SEE HERE WOULD BE IN GRECIAN EGRESS ONLY OFF 3 90. NO TRAFFIC COMING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, 25 FT BUFFER. WITH A PRIVACY FENCE. MM HMM. THE. FOR THOSE WHO SAFEGUARDS THAT THAT WOULD DEFINITELY BE IN PLACE TO PROTECT THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS CERTAINLY PROTECT THE NEIGHBORHOOD IF THIS GOES TO COMMERCIAL UM A PIECE OF PROPERTY OFF OF 3 90, WHICH WILL BE A MAJOR CORRIDOR THROUGH OUR TOWN, A SIX LANE ROAD. UM. I THINK I STATED EARLIER THAT YOU KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE A MAJOR ARTERY. IT STANDS TO REASON TO ONE OF THE COMMERCIAL ON THAT ARTERY. YEAH. I MEAN, I SEE THE STORMWATER ISSUE AN ISSUE THAT MATTER WHAT IT IS. YEAH IT'S GONNA BE AN ISSUE PUT HOUSES OR YOU YOU PUT WAREHOUSES? UM I THINK THE STORM WATER IS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE SO THAT TO ME. THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WOULD KEEP THIS FROM MOVING FORWARD BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU DO WITH IT, IT'S GOING TO HAVE STRONGER ISSUES. UM, IT DOES MAKE SENSE FOR THAT PIECE TO BECOME COMMERCIAL, ESPECIALLY ITS ADJACENT TO UM OTHER COMMERCIAL. UM I THINK THAT'S AE NOT HAVING SPOT ZONING WITH THIS. CONGRUITY TO OTHERS. AND THE FENCE YOU AGAIN. YOU WOULD LIKE YOU TO MENTION YOU'D WANT TO FENCE ON SO THAT FENCE IS GOING TO BE ON TWO SIDES OF THE PROPERTY, NOT JUST ONE RIGHT

[40.  PZ22-202 Zone Change 1318 St. Andrews Blvd (Hwy 390)]

UH, ARE YOU? REQUIRING THE 25 FT LANDSCAPE BUFFER THAT THEY PROVIDE THAT WELL, THE ACTUAL VEGETATION, 25 VEGETATION AND ALSO THE FENCE. YES. YES, BOTH OF YOU. THANK YOU. ON AUGUST 17TH 2022, THE BAY COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION CONDUCTED PUBLIC HEARINGS. CONSIDER REQUEST THE CHANGES ZONING DESIGNATION OF APPROXIMATELY 4.5 ACRES FROM OUR ONE SINGLE FAMILY TO SEEK THREE GENERAL COMMERCIAL. SUBJECT PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 13 18 ST ANDREWS BOULEVARD. IN THE UNINCORPORATED PANAMA CITY AREA. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING, THE PLANNING COMMISSION VOTED TO FIND THE PROPOSED ZONE CHANGE CONSISTENT WITH THE BAY COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LAND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. THE PROPERTY IS BORDERED TO THE NORTH AND WEST BY C. THREE'S OWNING THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN A COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR. THE ADJACENT PARCEL TO THE WEST SHARES THE SAME OWNER AND IT'S CURRENTLY ZONE C THREE STAFF FEELS THAT THE REQUESTED ZONE CHANGES COMPATIBLE CONSISTENT WITH SURROUND THE AREA. STAFF IS ALSO RECOMMENDING AS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL THAT THE TWO PARCELS MUST BE MERGED TOGETHER BEFORE ANY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY CAN OCCUR. STAFF AGREES WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND RECOMMENDS BOARD CONNECTED PUBLIC HEARING. APPROVED THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT AND ADOPT THE ATTACHED ORDINANCE. ANY QUESTIONS, STAFF. NO, I HAVE DONE THE APPLICANT LIKE DO A PRESENTATION. DEEDEE ROWAN 558 HARRISON AVENUE. I HAVE NOTHING

[01:55:02]

IF THEY'RE 30 FT. THEN YOU'RE GONNA IF THAT'S THE WISH, AND THAT'S MOTION THAT WELL, WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW IS THIS IS A THICK FOREST. SO IF YOU COULD LEAVE 25 FT OF THE TREES RIGHT BEHIND MY HOUSE AND EVERYBODY ELSE'S HOUSE ON LANNY LANE AND 28TH PLACE. THEN WE WOULD HAVE STILL THE FEEL OF A FORCE THERE , AND WE MIGHT NOT EVEN BE ABLE TO SEE THE BUSINESS BEHIND. THAT WAS THE OBJECTION IS TO HAVE THAT LANDSCAPING BECAUSE THEY COULD NORMALLY CLEAR IT. THE FENCE COUNTS AS THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER THERE, BUT THAT VEGETATION IS WE CAN LEAVE THAT TO REMAIN OR TO BE PLANTED WITH NEW VEGETATION DESIRE. THEN IN THIS NEXT MOTION THAT CAN BE ADDRESSED, I WOULD LOVE IT IF CHURCHES LEAVE THE BUFFER, AS IS THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC. THAT WE CAN LIVE WITH THAT. THANK YOU, GENERAL. ANYONE ELSE? WHAT? WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HERE.

DISCUSSION MOTION. UM YEAH, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAD A FEW QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED TO MAKE SURE WE GOT ANSWERS. DID YOU GET YOUR GET ALL THE ANSWERS ? OKAY, THE I GUESS ON THE ATTEMPT OF USE OH, THERE'S THAT ONE. AT THIS MOMENT, I DON'T WE WOULDN'T HAVE A SPECIFIC INTENT NEWS THAT'S GOING TO BE COMMERCIAL, AND THAT'S GOING TO LIMIT. WITHIN THE COMMERCIAL RANGE. WHAT CAN BE DONE THE CART BLANC? YEAH, I GUESS YOU HEARD OF IT. NO, THEY DON'T REALLY GET CARTE BLANC USE. IT'S JUST ON WHATEVER COMMERCIAL IS GOING TO ALLOW, LIKE WE CAN'T DO APARTMENTS AND THEY HAVE COMMITTED TO NOT DOING A GAS STATION. DRAINAGE ISSUE. YOU HAVE THAT COURSE THAT'S GOING TO BE ADDRESSED FOR SURE. AND IT'S GONNA BE A MORE STRI ISSUE WITH IT BEING, UM ON F D O T RIGHT AWAY, SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE DID YOU KNOW THAT'S OKAY? I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU WE ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS. YEAH. GO AHEAD. MR CHAIRMAN FOR CLARY. I THINK IT MIGHT BE VALUABLE FOR WILLING TO TALK ABOUT WHAT'S ALLOWED AND WHAT ALLOWED THE USES ARE IN THIS ZONE. SURE PARTICULARLY THIS DOESN'T SPEAK TO WHAT WHAT THE PROPERTY OWNER MAY BE DOING, BUT I THINK FOR CLARITY JUST TO TALK ABOUT WHAT'S ALLOWED IN THAT ZONING MIGHT MIGHT SATISFY THAT QUESTION. SO THE REQUESTED ZONE CHANGE TO SEE THREE GENERAL COMMERCIAL. AS WE'VE WE'VE WE'VE NOTED ALREADY, IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ANY RESIDENTIAL USE OR ANY MIXTURE. RESIDENTIAL WITH COMMERCIAL USES. THE GENERAL COMMERCIAL LAND USE DESIGNATION.

IS ONE OF THEM. THE MORE INTENSIVE ALLOWANCES FOR COMMERCIAL USE. UM SO YOU'D BE ALLOWED. JUST ABOUT ANY COMMERCIAL USE. THAT'S ALLOWED BY OUR CODE. UM OF COURSE INDUSTRIAL USES WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED WITHIN THE COMMERCIAL ZONING. MHM BELIEVE MR COHN BROUGHT UP TATTOO SHOP. UM A TATTOO PARLOR BUSINESS IS CONSIDERED AN ADULT BUSINESS. SO IT FALLS UNDER THE SAME CATEGORY OF LIKE AN ADULT BOOKSTORE OR OR A MILL ENTERTAINMENT CLUB. AH! THAT WOULD NOT BE PERMITTED SO CLOSE TO RESIDENTIAL ZONING. SO THOSE THINGS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED EITHER. BUT THINGS LIKE, UH, YOU KNOW, CONSTRUCTION COMPANY CAR DEALERSHIP AUTOMOTIVE SHOP. UH, ANY TYPE OF OPEN STORAGE WAREHOUSING. MINI STORAGE. THERE'S A LONG LIST OF THINGS THAT THAT ARE PERMITTED, BUT IT DOESN'T ALLOW CART BLANCHE. IT'S THERE ARE YOU KNOW THOSE THOSE
