ARTICLES NINE OF THE STATE CONSTITUTION SAYS THAT O K 12 PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE ENTITLED TO A UNIFORM AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT. THERE'S A LANDFILL RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM BOZEMAN, A PUBLIC K 12 SCHOOL. I AM CERTAIN THAT THE CONSTRUCTION WASTE LANDFILL VIOLATES THAT STATUTE THAT SAYS STUDENTS ARE ENTITLED TO A SAFE ENVIRONMENT, ODORS IN THE LANDFILL. GAS ODORS IN LANDFILL GAS ARE CAUSED PRIMARILY BY HYDROGEN SULFIDE AND AMMONIA. UM AS THESE WASTE PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY DR BOARD BREAKS DOWN WHEN THERE'S LARGE QUALITY, UH, QUANTITIES OF THESE MATERIALS, THE HYDROGEN SULFIDE AND AMMONIA ARE PRODUCED IN LARGE QUANTITIES. THESE THIS PRODUCES THE SMELL OF ROTTEN EGGS AND YOU KNOW THE SMELL OF AMMONIA. PEOPLE CAN DETECT THESE ODORS, EVEN IN VERY SMALL QUANTITIES, YOUNG CHILDREN, THE ELDERLY AND PREGNANT WOMEN ARE EXTREMELY SENSITIVE TO THESE ODORS, AND THEY ACTUALLY CAUSE SYMPTOMS. AND I'D LIKE TO SHARE THOSE WITH YOU. HEADACHES NASAL CONGESTION, EYE, NOSE AND THROAT

[00:20:04]

ADDITIONALLY ALL PERSONAL ACTIVITIES SUCH AS TAKING A WALK HAVING A BARBECUE SITTING OUTSIDE READING IS NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY DUE TO THIS ODOR IS A SERIOUS AND DEFINITE ISSUE IN THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE SAND HILL COMMUNITY. PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING FOR FAMILIES, CHILDREN AND THE COMMUNITY. PLEASE DON'T ALLOW THE RELEASING OF THIS LANDFILL. IT IS HURTING FAMILIES AND I WANT YOU TO HEAR US TODAY. IT IS HURTING FAMILIES AND OUR QUALITY OF LIFE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE? YES, SIR. GOOD MORNING. JUST COME ON DOWN AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. YEP. MY NAME IS DENNIS FALCON. VERY RESIDED 11 40 CROOKED LANE IN PANAMA CITY, FLORIDA AND I'M ALSO HEAR ABOUT THE LANDFILL. BUT UM, I APPRECIATE THE PEOPLE BEFORE ME, GIVING YOU STATISTICS AND DATA SO FORTH, BUT I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU FROM A EMPATHY PERSPECTIVE. OKAY I FINALLY GOT TO A POINT MY LIFE THAT I CAN RETIRE. ALRIGHT WORKING. 20 YEARS OF MILITARY CAME HERE. 14 YEARS OF THE NAVY BASE. I CAN'T EVEN ENJOY MY RETIREMENT.

BECAUSE I CAN'T ENJOY MY HOME. I CAN'T COOK OUT. I CAN'T WALK AND STAY IN SHAPE. I CAN'T WORK OUT YARD. THAT'S HOW BAD THE STENCH IS. IT MAKES ME NAUSEOUS AS WELL AS EVERYBODY ELSE. UM IT'S JUST WRETCHED. AND WHEN I LOOK AT WHAT I PAY IN TAXES, YOU KNOW, I'VE WORKED HARD TRYING TO TRYING TO ENJOY EVERYTHING I CAN'T BECAUSE IT'S SO BAD. YOU CAN'T EVEN GO OUTSIDE. OR STAY OUT. AND ACTUALLY SEEPS IN YOUR HOUSE. SO I'M JUST ASKING FROM THAT POINT OF VIEW. AND THE CITIZENS JUST, YOU KNOW, DO THE RIGHT THING HERE WE CAN. THERE'S OTHER WAYS AND OTHER MEANS WE CAN GO ABOUT IT AND ONE UNDERSTAND. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TEMPORARY ANYWAY. THIS WAS THIS STARTED OUT AS A SANDPIT. AND IN THE LAST OF ALL, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT HURRICANE I WAS DEPLOYED, BUT THERE WAS STATIONED SOMEWHERE ELSE. BUT THERE WAS A THEY USED IT BEFORE OR AFTER HURRICANE. AND THEY SAID, YOU KNOW, IT'S GONNA BE A TEMPORARY THING. WELL TEMPORARY BECOMES PERMANENT, AND I JUST LIKE I SAID, I JUST HOPE YOU'RE TAKING CONSIDERATION. AND, UH THE WELL BEING, BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT MORE HOMES BEING BUILT BACK THERE, SO IT'S AFFECTING NOT JUST THE PEOPLE THERE NOW, BUT PEOPLE MOVING IN SO I JUST WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT IT IF YOU DON'T MIND.

MY NAME IS STEVE BARRENTINE. I'M OF 240 TO 0 NORTHWEST BARRENTINE LANE.

AND OUT OF FLORIDA. 3 TO 4 TO 1. COMMISSIONERS I'M HERE TODAY AT QUITE HONESTLY, WHAT COULD BE MY OWN PERIL? UM, I AM THE DIVISION MANAGER FOR WASTE PROS. PANHANDLE LANDFILL DIVISION. AH I'VE COME TO MAKE MYSELF AVAILABLE TO THIS COMMISSION HAVE REACHED OUT AND I'VE TRIED TO REACH OUT TO YOU, COMMISSIONER MORE, BUT I'VE GOTTEN A COUPLE OF WRONG PHONE NUMBERS IN THE LAST WEEK WHERE I COULDN'T I WASN'T GETTING CALLBACKS OR WASN'T GETTING THE CORRECT CORRECT INFORMATION.

WE'RE TRYING TO MOVE IN A DIRECTION I TOOK OVER HIS DIVISION MANAGER THERE A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. UM WE'RE MAKING SOME VERY BIG

[00:25:03]

UM THE DUMP FACILITY WAS NOT EVEN VISIBLE FROM THE ROAD. IT HAD A HUGE LINES OF TREES ALL AROUND IT. IT WAS NOT NOTICEABLE . NO SMELL WAS NOTICEABLE, AND THAT WAS FOR MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS UNTIL THE LAST FEW YEARS. AND I BELIEVE IT'S BECAUSE AND THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE AROUND.

THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE LIVED THERE FOR YEARS PROPERTIES ON THAT LAKE ON WHITE WESTERN LAKE.

HAVE BEEN PASSED DOWN FROM ONE GENERATION TO THE NEXT PEOPLE. THE HOUSES DON'T GET SOLD IN THAT AREA AROUND THAT LEG BECAUSE IT'S PASSED FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION. THAT'S HOW MUCH PEOPLE IN THAT AREA LOVE A COUNTY AND WHITE WESTERN LAKE AND THE SCHOOL THAT'S THERE FOR THEIR KIDS TO GO TO FROM KINDERGARTEN THROUGH THE 12TH GRADE. BUT. IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, IT IS STEADILY GOTTEN WORSE. THE STENCH AND I KNOW THAT THE OWNERS AROUND WHITE WESTERN LAKE HAVE HAVE FILED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE COUNTY AND THEY'VE ALL BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE COUNTY. BUT NOTHING'S BEEN DONE. AND NOW THE DUMPS ARE NOW SO HIGH. THE MOUNDS ARE SO HIGH. THEY ARE VISIBLE FROM THE ROAD, THE TREE LINE THAT ONCE HIT THEM IS ALMOST NON EXISTENT BECAUSE THEY USE THAT EXTRA SPACE TO PUT MORE GARBAGE. AND. UNLESS YOU GO BY THERE AND SEE IT AND LIVE THERE ON A DAILY BASIS, YOU WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT THE LAW. WHAT THE OWNERS THAT LIVE AROUND THAT PROPERTY HAVE TO ENDURE. AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY AND YOU'RE HEARING NUMEROUS PEOPLE SAY IT. I'M JUST REPRESENTING MYSELF AND MY NEIGHBORS WHO ARE WORKING THAT CAN'T ATTEND TODAY'S MEETING BECAUSE THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING AND PROVIDE FOR THEIR FAMILIES. I'M HERE REPRESENTING THEM AS WELL. UM BUT ONE THING THAT I, BUT

AND WHILE WE WERE THERE WE SPOKE WITH ALISON DIKES AND DRAINAGE ENGINEER. AND WE EXPLAINED OUR ISSUES. SHE THEN BEGAN TO EXPLAIN THAT THE COUNTY IS TRYING TO VERBATIM WORD FOR WORD RIGHT THEIR WRONGS WITH THE GRADING SYSTEM AND SUGGESTED THAT WE GRADE OUR YARD AND A TYPE TWO WAY TO SHED THE WATER PROPERLY. WE DID RECEIVE AN EMAIL FROM HER LATER THE DAY LATER, SUGGESTING WE CONTACT A CIVIL ENGINEER, WHICH WE DID. AND SHE ALSO ASSURED US THAT A DRAINAGE REVIEW WAS NEVER COMPLETE. AND, UM.

[N.  COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT]

[00:40:05]

THEY HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS CALLS TO THE TUNE OF ONE EVERY THREE DAY ON AVERAGE. CAN'T BE A BLAST. CITY OF THOSE CALLS OBVIOUSLY INCREASES WHEN SCHOOLS IN AND WHEN THE WEATHER IS HOTTER. WOW WARMER, BUT THEY RECEIVED EXTENSIVE FEEDBACK FROM THE PUBLIC ALREADY AND THEY'RE CURRENTLY AS FAR AS THEIR PROCESS. THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF, UM GETTING FEEDBACK FROM WASTE PRO. BUT I'M CERTAIN. THEY TOLD US THAT THEY ENCOURAGE ALL INPUT, WHETHER IT'S ADDITIONAL INPUT FROM THE COUNTY OR FROM THE PUBLIC. OKAY, SO I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT THIS WAS A STRONG THIS IS THE TOUGHEST MEASURE WE CAN TAKE RIGHT NOW IS TO IS TO SHOW HER OPPOSITION AND ASK THEM NOT TO RENEW THE PERMIT.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN MAKE THE CALL AS TO WHETHER IT CONTINUES OR NOT. THE OTHER THING AND SOME COMMENTS THAT I HEARD IS THERE ARE MULTIPLE OTHER ENTITIES THAT ARE UP THERE THAT HAVE SAND PITS AND OR TREES , DEBRIS YARD DEBRIS IS A DIFFERENT PLACE THAN WHAT WASTE PRO IS. MR BARRINGTON. I APPRECIATE YOU. I GOT YOUR VOICEMAIL LATE YESTERDAY. I FIGURED WE WOULD BE. I FIGURED YOU'D BE HERE TODAY. UM I WOULD SAY YOU WERE HERE MEETING WITH SOMEBODY.

THE COUNTY WE HAVE AN EXTREMELY LARGE LANDFILL. UM WE KNOW WE HAVE TO HAVE THEM, BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS. WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF OUR NEIGHBORS AND DO IT PROPERLY AND IT'S NOT BEEN DONE PROPERLY. SO THEREFORE TYPICALLY DON'T NEVER VOTE FOR SOME OF THE BIMA PUT OUT OF BUSINESS.

UM I THINK PROBABLY ABOUT TWO WEEKS PART OF TALKING TO YOU AND AT THAT TIME I ASKED THE ORIGINAL GENTLEMEN TO GET IN TOUCH WITH WITH DOG AND TALK

[00:50:06]

MAYBE YOU COULD LOOK INTO THEIR EYES AND UNDERSTAND THEY WERE SERIOUS ABOUT IT. I THINK THEY'RE NOT TRYING TO PUT YOU OUT OF BUSINESS AND THE LANDFILL HAS BEEN HERE A LONG TIME. I GUESS IT'S COLLECTING MATERIALS . NOW THAT MAYBE DIDN'T BEFORE THE SHEET ROCK AND ALL THAT THAT IS MAKING THE SMELL WORSE. AND TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT TO THEM, AND THEN THEY COULD HAVE EXPLAINED IT TO YOU. THEIR CHILDREN CAN'T PLAY SPORTS BECAUSE OF THE SMELL. ENCOURAGED THOSE TWO GENTLEMEN TO DO THAT. AND THEN WHEN YOU CALL ME ENCOURAGED, YOU ALSO TO GET IN TOUCH WITH WITH SOME OF THE OTHER MEMBERS UP HERE AND THERE'S BEEN PLENTY OF TIME TO GET THAT DONE, SO I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T TAKE IT VANTAGE OF JUST A SIMPLE SUGGESTION THAT I HAD. AND I KNOW I'M THE NEWEST MEMBER. AND MAYBE THAT WAS WHY IT WAS EASIER TO TALK TO ME. I'M NOT SURE AND I UNDERSTAND YOUR PROBLEM, BUT I'M ALSO LISTENING TO ALL THESE FOLKS AND LIKE THEY WANT IT FIXED AND YOU'VE APPARENTLY HAD NUMEROUS UM. CHANCES TO GET IT TO GET IT FIXED. AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, I'M NOT SURE HAVE EITHER IGNORED IT OR IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX IT. OR I'M NOT CERTAIN WHY IT WASN'T DONE. BUT I DID WANT TO CLARIFY THAT. THANK YOU. OKAY? ALL RIGHT.

AT THIS TO REPAIR. IT IS ONE OF THE THINGS UH, THAT WE MET YESTERDAY WHEN I MET WITH MEMBERS FROM THE SCHOOL ACROSS THE ROAD. IT'S A LOT EASIER FOR ME TO SHOW YOU THAN FOR ME TO STAND BEHIND THIS PODIUM. AND IT'S A LOT EASIER FOR ME TO SHOW THESE. THERE'S BEEN OPEN INVITATIONS NOW.

[O.  CHAIRMAN'S REPORT AND COMMISSIONER'S COMMENTS]

ALRIGHT. I WOULD JUST WANT TO MAKE ONE COMMENT, UM ABOUT THE EARLIER VOTE WITH MR BECK. I DON'T WANT MY VOTE. TO BE CONSTRUED THE WRONG WAY. AND I'D LIKE TO JUST ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS. I DON'T WANT MR BECK TO THINK THAT I APPROVE. OF HIS BEHAVIOR IN HERE. I HAVE ASKED HIM ALMOST EVERY SINGLE MEETING. NOT TO BEHAVE THAT WAY AND TO CONTROL HIS TEMPER. I DON'T THINK THAT HE SHOULD GET UP HERE AND TALK. ILL OF THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS AND GO AS FAR AS TO NOT TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT SOME THINGS THAT I THINK HE'S SAYING. I DON'T THINK THAT ANY OF THAT IS APPROPRIATE. AND THE WORST THING IS WHEN WE GET LETTERS FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT WANT TO JOIN THIS MEETING. THAT CANNOT COME HERE BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID OF YOUR BEHAVIOR. SO THEY DON'T COME. AND I THINK FOR THAT YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOUR BEHAVIOR. AND WHEN YOU HAVE OUTBURST AND BEHAVE THE WAY THAT YOU HAVE IN THE PAST, I DO THINK THAT YOU NEED TO BE ESCORTED OUT. BUT FREEDOM OF SPEECH MAY BE SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN BEING ABLE TO, UM, WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY. SO FOR THAT I VOTED DIFFERENTLY. BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW AND EVERYONE ELSE UP HERE TO KNOW THAT I DO NOT AGREE WITH YOUR BEHAVIOR. AND WHEN YOU CAN'T BEHAVE, YOU NEED TO BE ESCORTED OUT. THANK YOU. YES, MA'AM. IT'S CAROL. YES SIR. YOU THINGS, UH, LIKE TO THINK THE BACON VETERANS SERVICES FOR PUTTING ON THE MEMORIAL SERVICE AT FOREST LAWN. I WAS AN ABSOLUTE GREAT DEDICATION FOR THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE DIED FOR OUR COUNTRY AND ALLOW US THE FREEDOM TO BE HERE TODAY AND TO HAVE FREE SPEECH. UM IT WAS JUST A GREAT SERVICE AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE THAT ATTENDED WHERE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO SOFTER SKATEPARK. UM WE COULDN'T GET COMMISSIONER MORE TO GET ON A SKATEBOARD, BUT THAT'S OKAY. I DON'T BLAME HIM. I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN HURT MYSELF SO, BUT THE SKATE PARK IS OPEN. SO PLEASE GET YOUR BOARDS. GO. ENJOY YOURSELF. IT IS A FANTASTIC FACILITY. AND ALSO LOOKING FORWARD. WE'VE GOT T P O TOMORROW AND, UM 3 30 SO ANYWAY, LOOKING FORWARD TO T P O AND THEN WANTS TO COME ATTEND. COME JOIN US. THANK YOU. FISHER MORE YES, SIR. UM VERY GLAD AFTER THREE KNEE SURGERIES. I DID NOT ATTEMPT TO GET ON A SKATEBOARD. WOULD NOT END. WELL UM, THAT WAS A GREAT OPENING. IT WAS FUN WATCHING A LOT OF THE KIDS, UM, YOUNGER, MIDDLE AND EVEN SOME OLDER ONES THAT CAN STILL ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT . IT'S FUN SEEING THEM BEING ABLE TO DO THAT, UM TO JOEY'S FAMILY. JUST LOVE AND CONDOLENCES. HE WAS A GREAT MAN.

I'M GONNA MISS MY CONVERSATIONS BASEBALL WITH THEM WHENEVER WE SAW EACH OTHER. AH AND JUST, UH
