UH, AND THE INTENDED PURPOSE AS RELATED TO STAFF, IS THAT INTEND TO OPERATE THEIR CONSTRUCTION COMPANY THERE. UH, THAT WAS WOULD BE WHERE THEY STORE THEIR MATERIALS AND THEIR EQUIPMENT. OK, THANK YOU. WITH THIS NOW THEY WILL HAVE TO WHERE THE ENTIRE PARCEL HAVE TO HAVE A BUFFER OR JUST THIS PORTION. WELL, I GUESS IT'D BE THE BACK PART OF THE EXISTING PIECE. IT ALREADY HAS TO HAVE A BUFFER. BUT NOW THERE WOULD THERE WOULD THERE WOULD BE BUFFER REQUIREMENTS TO THE NORTH AND ALSO TO THE EAST ALONG. THE THAT EXISTING AGRICULTURAL ZONING AS WELL. THAT BUT FOR THE SA ME WIDTH. TO THOSE IT IS RESIDENTIAL. I BELIEVE THE BUFFER REQUIREMENT BETWEEN AG AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL IS 15 FT.
[00:40:03]
BUT I CAN CONFIRM BUT NO NO FENCES REQUIRED FOR THAT. NO FENCE, NO FENCING. IS A REQUIREMENT. NO FENCING IS REQUIRED. THEY COULD. THEY COULD OPT TO DO OFFENSE INSTEAD OF LANDSCAPING, BUT ONE OR THE OTHER. WE COULD REQUIRE YEAH. WHEN I WENT OUT THERE AND LOOKED AT IT. I DROVE DOWN THE, UH BRIDGE LANE. AND UH, AS YOU GET OUT OF THAT COMMERCIAL AREA INTO THE OTHER ZONED AREA THERE. I SAW THIS SEVERAL SPORADIC HOUSES OUT THERE SO I BELIEVE THERE WOULD BE A HOUSE THAT'S EXISTING IN THIS LOCATION. ON THE BACK SIDE OF IT. SO ANY CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY EVEN WITH THAT BUFFER, UH, YOU MAY MAY UM INTERFERE WITH THE NEIGHBORS, NOISE OR WHATEVER. OR VISUAL. IN THE FUTURE, SO I WOULD ENTERTAIN, UH , THAT THAT WE ON THAT BACKSIDE THAT WE DO REQUIRE, EVEN THOUGH THERE'S A BUFFER THERE THAT WE DO REQUIRE A FENCE. BECAUSE AESTHETICS OR WHATEVER, BUT BECAUSE I'VE SEEN SO MANY CASES OR SEVERAL CASES IN THE PAST, WHERE AFTERWARDS. PEOPLE WOULD COME AND SAY, WELL, WHY DIDN'T Y'ALL REQUIRE A FENCE? IT'S BECAUSE WE DIDN'T UH, WE COULDN'T DO IT AT THAT TIME IT WAS TOO LATE. I ONLY DO IT DURING THIS TIME OF CHANGING THE ZONING. AND SO, UH, I WOULD I WOULD ASK THAT. WE WOULD REQUIRE A PRIVACY FENCE THERE. ALONG THE NORTHERN. JUST JUST A LONG WHERE THE BUT NORTHERN AND WESTERN RESIDENTIAL SIDE NORTHERN AND EASTERN, UM, IS ANNIE LEE BROOK. UM, PRIVATE ROAD OR IS IT PRIVATE. SO AND THAT'S ONE OTHER THING, BECAUSE I MEAN THAT GOES ALL THE WAY BACK TO. I'M LOOKING ON MY MAP AT THE HOUSE AND THE PROPERTY OWNER AT THE FAR BACK. YOU LOOK AT THE BROWN RIGHT THERE. THAT'S THAT'S A PRIVATE RESIDENCE. AND SO IF THEY'RE ENTERING AND EXITING ON ANNIE LEE BROCK I MEAN AGAIN. IT'S A PRIVATE ROAD, BUT THAT'S GOING TO BE AFFECTING THAT PROPERTY OWNER ON THE BACK THERE AS WELL. SO AND AGAIN THAT'S BETWEEN THEM AS PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS, BUT I DEFINITELY THINK WE NEED FOR THE HOUSE BACK THERE TO BE PUTTING SOME TYPE OF OFFENSE ALONG THAT EASTERN EDGE AS WELL. I AGREE. YEAH, THEY HAVE SIGNS OUT THERE.UM, PRIVATE PROPERTY. OUT FOR DOGS. AND THEY HAVE A NICE LITTLE HOUSE OUT THERE SO WOULD YOU WOULD YOU? WOULD YOU PUT A MINIMUM HEIGHT RESTRICTION ON THAT FENCE? IF YOU'RE GONNA IF WE'RE GONNA MAKE THAT CON THAT CONDITION, JUST STANDARD HEIGHT OF, UH WHAT? 6 FT. 6 FT.
TYPICALLY WHAT SIX. THE PROPOSED SITE PLANNER HERE JUST SHOWS THAT ALL THE DEVELOPMENTS ON THIS BACK PIECE NOT ON THE FRONT PIECE. SO WHERE THEY TWO CONTIGUOUS WELL, IT'S THE SAME PARCEL. THIS IS A PORTION OF IT SPLIT ZONING ON ONE PIECE OF PROPERTY. THAT'S CORRECT, OK? I DO KNOW THE APPLICANT OR THE PROPERTY OWNER INTENDS TO, UH CONSTRUCT A PULL BARN OUT THERE IN THAT AREA AS WELL. UM WHICH WOULD REQUIRE DEVELOPMENT ORDER. SO THERE IS THERE IS SOME SOME IMPROVEMENTS. THAT THEY'RE LOOKING TO DO. THAT PROPERTY. AND THERE WOULD BE ANYTHING TO KEEP THEM FROM SPLITTING THIS PIECE OFF AND RUNNING AS AN INDEPENDENT. PROPERTY. A LIGHT SPLIT. THEY'D HAVE TO MEET THE ROAD FRONTAGE REQUIREMENTS. UM AND LEBROCK IS A ROAD THERE, II.
I DON'T FEEL THAT THAT'S THEIR INTENTION. BUT BUT IT BUT IT IS CERTAINLY A POSSIBILITY. SURE.
MOST OF THE APPLICANT WAS HERE. QUESTIONS. THE APPLICANT HERE AND JUST CHOSE NOT TO SPEAK. OK ALL RIGHT. I WAS THINKING MAYBE THE ONE PRIOR PRIOR TO THIS ONE, OK? ANYTHING ELSE? NO I'M I'M WITH BILL, THOUGH. I THINK IT IT HADN'T BEEN THAT LONG AGO THAT WE RAN INTO THIS EXACT SAME SITUATION, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE FOR US TO REQUIRE THE FENCE. SO I TOO WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE DO A 6 FT. 6 FT FS ON THE NORTH AND EAST EAST BOUNDARY. YES. SOMETHING ABOUT A CRYSTAL BALL OR SOMETHING, BUT I THINK WE WE'RE LOOKING INTO THE CRYSTAL BALL THIS TIME AHEAD OF TIME, SO RIGHT? OKAY? ALL RIGHT. UM ALL RIGHT. TH THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ANYBODY ELSE LIKE TO
[00:45:01]
SPEAK TO THIS? OK, CNN WILL CLOSE THE FLOOR. AND UM, HAND IT OVER TO THE BOARD. SO WE WE'RE LOOKING FOR A MESSAGE TO APPROVE WITH A CONDITION OF A 6 FT PRIVACY FENCE ON THE NORTH AND EAST. BOUNDARIES. IS THAT CORRECT? WE'LL MAKE AN EMOTION. ALL RIGHT, HAVE A MOTION. 2ND 2ND HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND. PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. COMMISSIONER. PEACE YES, MA'AM.COMMISSIONER DOZIER. YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER MOORE? YES MA'AM. CARROLL CHAIRMAN. HAM. YES,
[County Attorney]
MA'AM. ALL RIGHT. NEXT WE'LL MOVE INTO NUMBER 19 AMENDMENT TO PREINSPECTION OF USED MOBILE HOME ORDINANCE. MR BRIAN LEBR. GOOD MORNING, MR CHAIRMAN COMMISSIONERS. UM LAST YEAR, THE BOARD ADOPTED AN ORDINANCE THAT REQUIRED OLDER MOBILE HOMES ONES OLDER THAN 10. YEARS BEFORE THEY MOVE LOCATIONS. UM THEY HAVE TO GET A, UM, PRIVATE INSPECTION DONE TO, UM, MAKE SURE THAT THE UM HOME IS IN IN GOOD SHAPE. AND UM AND MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA. WE HAVE A CHECKLIST OF SPECIFIC THINGS THAT THE INSPECTION IS LOOKING FOR, AND THERE'S UM, IF THE HOME, UM, NEEDS MORE THAN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF WORK. UM, THEN, UM UH THEN THEY HAVE TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES MAKE THOSE CORRECTIONS BEFORE THE PROP BEFORE IT'S MOVED ON TO THE ONTO THE NEW LOCATION. UM WHAT WE HAVE FOUND IN OUR EXPERIENCE AS WE'VE GONE THROUGH THIS PROCESS IN THE LAST SIX OR MORE MONTHS IS A PROPERTY OWNERS ARE FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO FIND, UM PRIVATE INSPECTORS TO DO THIS WORK AND SO, UM, IN CONSULTATION WITH THE UM, UM, DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE HANDLING THESE THINGS. WE'VE UH SUGGESTED, UM, AN EXPANSION OF THE OF THE INSPECTORS THAT CAN DO THIS WORK. WE PREVIOUSLY LIMITED IT TO LICENSED MOBILE HOME DEALERS. UM AND, UM UM, AND ENGINEERS AND ARCHITECTS AND WE FOUND THE LICENSED MOBILE HOME. DEALERS ARE NOT DON'T SEEM TO BE INTERESTED IN DOING THIS WORK, SO WE'VE, UM ADDED ADDITIONAL CATEGORIES OF, UH, TYPES OF HOME INSPECTORS AND CONTRACTORS AND, UM UM PRIVATE, UM, BUILDING INSPECTORS THAT CAN THAT CAN, UM, DO THESE INSPECTIONS FOR THE MOBILE HOME? OWNERS BEFORE THEY DO THIS RELOCATION, SO WE I THINK THIS WILL, UM HELP THE MOBILE HOME OWNERS. UM, UH, IDENTIFY PROFESSIONALS WHO CAN DO THIS PRIVATE INSPECTION BEFORE THEY RELOCATE THEIR MOBILE HOME. THERE'S OTHER MINOR CHANGES, BUT THAT'S THE PRIMARY CHANGE TO THE ORDINANCE. THE PRO PROVIDERS THAT DO INSPECTIONS ON OTHER THINGS, CAN THEY DO THIS AS WELL? IF THEY HAVE A PRIVATE BUILDING INSPECTION LICENSE? UM YES, THEY THEY THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO OK? ANY OTHER. BRIAN AND ONE OF MY CONVERSATIONS AND GOING THROUGH. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I DON'T SEE ON HERE IS I ALSO ASKED THAT AS A FALLBACK THAT OUR BUILDING SAFETY DIVISION ALSO BE SET UP AND I DON'T SEE US BEING LISTED IN HERE EITHER. NO UM, STAFF DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THEY HAD THE EXPERTISE TO DO THAT WORK. AND SO THEY, UH , CAN'T STAFF GET TRAINED TO GET THE EXPERTISE IN THAT AREA. THEY COULD. UM BUT, UH UH THIS PROPOSAL DOES NOT INCLUDE THAT.UM I'M GONNA SAY I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE. AGREE WITH THAT FROM A FALLBACK POSITION. I MEAN, IF WE'RE DOING THESE TYPES OF THINGS, I THINK IT'S A SERVICE WE SHOULD BE PROVIDING. WE'RE SETTING THESE PARAMETERS. WE'RE SETTING THESE REQUIREMENTS. I THINK IT'S ONLY INCUMBENT UPON US AS THE COUNTY TO ALSO HAVE TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE AS WELL. IF WE'RE GONNA PUT THE RESTRICTIONS AND SAY WHERE THESE THINGS NEED TO BE. THAT'S MY TWO CENTS ON THAT END OF THIS. WE COULD. WE JUST HAD THAT IN AND SO THEY'LL WRITE IT IN AND SO THEY CAN WRITE IT IN AND WE CAN.
WELL IF Y'ALL ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH ME ON THAT, YES. WOULD THAT BE A PAID WHERE THEY PAY TO GET THE COUNTY TO DO IT AN EXTRA FEE? OR IS THAT PART OF THE SERVICES OR HOW HOW WOULD THAT WORK? IF WE'RE II. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE WOULD NEED TO COME BACK TO THE BOARD WITH A CHANGE TO THE FEE AND FINE SCHEDULED AT A AT A FEE FOR THAT, UM AND WE DON'T WANT OUR PUBLIC INSPECTORS TO BE COMPETING FOR THAT WORK, SO WE NEED TO SET THE FEE AT A AT A AT A NUMBER SO THAT HE COULD KIND OF BE A BACKUP CHOICE BUT NOT NECESSARILY THE FIRST CHOICE FOR HOMEOWNERS WHO ARE LOOKING FOR OPTIONS. I JUST WONDER, IS THAT GONNA BE A FALL BACK? UM THEY COME, IN? WELL, I COULDN'T FIND ANYBODY. SO YOU GOTTA GO DO THE INSPECTION THAT THAT'S THAT ONLY
[00:50:03]
HESITATION THAT I HAVE IS THAT NOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE'VE GOT THE BURDEN OF DOING ALL THESE INSPECTIONS THAT THAT'S WHY I'M SUGGESTING THAT YOU MAY WANT TO SET THE FEE FOR THAT SERVICE AT A AT A NUMBER SO THAT, UM OTHER OPTIONS MIGHT BE MORE YOU KNOW, MIGHT BE THE FIRST CHOICE FOR HOMEOWNERS FROM A PRACTICAL APPLICATION. SINCE THIS HAPPENED IN MY DISTRICT, I'VE SPOKEN WITH FIVE CITIZENS THAT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS TWO PEOPLE WERE ARE TR ONE WAS TRYING TO PURCHASE A UNIT ONE IS PURCHASED A UNIT AND IS NOW 30 DAYS PAST DUE ON CONTRACT OF TRYING TO GET IT MOVED IN. ANOTHER APPLICANT, UM, WAS MOVING IN FOR A RENTER AND WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY IN PLACE . UM, WE HAD SET UP THE DESIGNATION, BUT WE HAD NOT CONFIRMED THAT ANY OF THE FOLKS WE HAD ORIGINALLY DESIGNATED WERE WILLING TO DO THIS. THE QUOTE ONE GOT FROM AN ENGINEER WAS $7000 TO CERTIFY. THE MOBILE HOME. AND SO THAT'S WHERE GOING FORWARD AND LOOKING AT THIS, UM, FROM THE STANDPOINT OF FROM ME, UH, A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS IS ONE THEY HAD GOTTEN A HOME INSPECTOR THAT WAS WILLING TO GO OUT AND DO IT AND HE CONTRACTED AND THEY WERE FINE WITH THE PRICE. BUT WE WOULDN'T ACCEPT THAT. AND SO THERE ARE PRIVATE PARTIES OUT THERE THAT ARE WILLING TO DO THIS, UM AND SO I THINK THE MARKET WILL PRICE ITSELF I. I AGREE FROM THE STANDPOINT OF YOU THAT WE DON'T WANT TO GET STUCK IN THAT POSITION WHERE WE'RE THERE, BUT I STILL THINK IF WE'RE PUTTING THE REQUIREMENT WE NEED TO SCAN THAT. WE HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF DOING THIS. WE'VE LIMITED THESE PEOPLE. AND SO, FROM THE STANDPOINT OF I'VE SPENT THE LAST MONTH DEALING WITH THIS OF CITIZENS THAT HAVE GOTTEN CAUGHT IN THE TRAP AND I DON'T THINK IT'S II. I DON'T REALLY I DON'T THINK IT'S RIGHT OR JUST ON OUR PART, DID NOT ALSO THEN BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE SOLUTION IN A MYRIAD OF WAYS. UM INTO THAT. THE OTHER PART OF THIS THAT I WOULD SAY IS, I WOULD I'VE ASKED THAT STAFF POST ON, UM, THE WEBSITE. WHEN YOU'RE OLDER THAN YOU'RE OUTSIDE THE AGE LIMIT OF THE MOBILE HOME THAT HERE IS THE CHECKLIST. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED TO DO. THIS IS WHERE THESE THINGS ARE. THESE ARE LINKS FOR YOU TO GO TO THE STATE LICENSING SO YOU CAN SEE IN THE LOCAL AREA WHAT PEOPLE ARE AVAILABLE. AND IT'S LIKE AS NEW PEOPLE GET ON. THEY CAN GO FIND AND THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY DO, AND BE ABLE TO ADDRESS IT THAT WAY. BUT ALSO AGAIN. I BELIEVE IT'S INCUMBENT ON US THAT IT CREATE A FALLBACK, AND I MEAN WE CAN BE LESS THAN 7000. BUT I THINK WE CAN PRICE IT IN THE POINT THAT IF WE ARE THE FALL BACK, THEN IT'S GONNA BE AT THAT POINT. I AGREE. I THINK THE MORE OPTIONS THERE ARE THE BETTER. AND, UH, UM, WE SHOULD PROVIDE THAT SERVICE AS WELL. ONE THING. I GUESS SOME THINGS CROSSED MINE WAS THE EXACT SAME THING. YOURS WHAT YOU WERE SAYING ROBERT UM TWO. ON THE OTHER HAND. WE EVERY BUILDINGS BUILT WOULD REQUIRE INSPECTIONS. AND WE ACCEPT PRIVATE PROVIDERS FOR THAT AS WELL, UH, I KIND OF SEE THIS IS THE SAME THING SO I DON'T I MEAN, I KNOW WE'RE SETTING UM, REQUIREMENTS FOR THEM, BUT YOU KNOW, BEING ABLE TO USE A PRIVATE PROVIDER. UH, LIKE MANY OF OUR CONTRACTORS DO I MEAN, I DON'T SEE THAT AS A HE SAID. THAT WAS ALLOWED WELL, IT IT IS PEOPLE WHO ARE IN PLACES DISALLOWED. UM BUT UH, I'M IF WE COME IN AS THE COUNTY AS A GOVERNMENT, AND SO WE SET UP $2000 TO DETER PEOPLE FROM YOU AND US AND USING PRIVATE PROVIDERS. THAT MAY GIVE PROVIDE THESE PEOPLE THE ABILITY TO CHARGE $1500 BECAUSE THEY'LL COME IN JUST UNDER OUR NUMBER. YEAH. SO I USE US. WHEN IT REALLY COULD BE DONE FOR TWO OR 300 IF WE WERE NOT EVEN IN THE PICTURE AT ALL. WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE ARTIFICIALLY SETTING A, UM, THAT'S POSSIBLE PRICE. THAT COULD HAPPEN. AND, UM I DON'T KNOW IF I'M USING THE RIGHT WORDS, BUT I THINK I'M TRYING TO WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS THAT YOU KNOW YOU'RE YOU'RE GONNA YOU KNOW, LIKE THE $7000 NUMBER I THINK IS ABSURD TO DO THAT, BUT THEY WERE USING A LICENSED ENGINEER. AND THEY HAVE HIGH OPPORTUNITY COST SO THEY'RE NOT SURE MOST ECONOMICAL PERSON TO DO THAT. BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE FINDING THEMSELVES IN THE SCRATCH ARE PRIMARILY INTENDING TO USE, UM, HOME INSPECTORS OF STATE LICENSED HOME INSPECTORS, AND THERE'S ENOUGH OF THOSE THAT II, I THINK THE COMPETITION AMONG THEM WILL PROBABLY KEEP THE[00:55:03]
PRICE AT A AT A AT A REASONABLE NUMBER. UM, SO, UM II. I DON'T THINK THERE'S A CONCERN WITH ARE SETTING A FLOOR. I JUST I JUST DON'T WANT THIS TO BE A THING WHERE, WHERE BY ADDING THE BIG COUNTY BUILDING SAFETY DEPARTMENT IN THAT THAT WE NOW BECOME THE DEFAULT CHOICE FOR EVERYBODY. THAT'S WHY THAT'S WHY I WAS SUGGESTING THAT THAT WE SET A FEE THAT'S HIGHER THAN WHAT THE MARKET IS FOR THIS CURRENTLY, III I I'VE HEARD NUMBERS ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE ARE SO WOULD BE SETTING THE MARKET. BUT BUT BUT BUT THAT WOULD BE A CHOICE FOR ANOTHER DAY TO WE, WE WHEN WE COME BACK, UH, WITH THE FEES AND FUNDS WE CAN WE CAN DIG INTO THAT. BUT BUT, UH, I CAN TELL YOU I DISAGREE WITH THAT. II. I THINK THAT WHATEVER WHENEVER WE GET TO THAT DISCUSSION, WE SHOULD I BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD GO WITH THE WITH THE MARKET AND NOT NOT ARTIFICIALLY RAISE IT SO HIGH, SO THEY DON'T USE US. UM OUR GOAL HERE. IS TO ADDRESS THE CHALLENGE OF INEFFICIENT MOBILE HOMES COMING INTO OUR AREA. THAT'S OUR GOAL. AND IF WE IF, UH AT THE END OF THE DAY. IF WE NEED TO USE PEOPLE IN OUR BUILDING DEPARTMENT TO SEE THAT THAT IS THOSE GOALS ARE MET. THEN THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO DO. AND, UM RUTH. WHAT? WE'RE FIXING TO VOTE ON HERE. IT GIVES A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO COME TO THE BILLING DEPARTMENT. THEY CAN USE ANY OF THESE OTHER OPTIONS. AND I THINK IF THEY CHOOSE TO COME TO BUILDING APART THAT WE SHOULD MAKE, UH WE SHOULD GIVE THEM A FAIR PRICE. AND UH, YOU KNOW, STAY WITH THE MARKET AND NOT NOT ARTIFICIALLY RAISE IT. AND BUT BUT WE GOTTA KEEP IN MIND. I BELIEVE OUR GOAL. WHAT OUR GOAL IS OUR BOTTOM LINE GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE AND THAT, UM INEFFICIENT MOBILE HOMES ARE NOT BROUGHT INTO OUR AREA THAT DON'T MEET THE STANDARDS THAT THAT THEY NEED TO MEET. AND THAT'S THAT'S MY CONCERN, AND, UH THAT'S ABOUT THAT'S A GOOD POINT . IT'S A VALID POINT. UM THE HOME INSPECTORS THAT I'VE SEEN THAT WORK ON MY JOBS WHEN I SELL. MY HOMES THEY CHARGE 400. 425 LOT LESS 7000, AND THAT'S TO DO A WHOLE HOUSE. I WOULD I WOULD THINK MAYBE A MOBILE HOME WOULDN'T BE ANY MORE THAN THAT. UM AND YEAH, THERE ARE A PLETHORA OF THOSE FOLKS OUT THERE. SO THERE THERE IS COMPETITION JUST IN THAT ONE CATEGORY IS HOME INSPECTORS, BUT WE'VE ADDED OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL. UM SO WE? I THINK WE CAN COME UP WITH SOMETHING. WE COULD COME UP WITH SOMETHING. AND DID YOU SAY THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH OUR INSPECTORS NOT BEING TRAINED FOR SO THE FEEDBACK WE GOT FROM THE DEPARTMENT. SO LET ME BACK UP. UM THE MOBILE HOMES, UNLIKE REGULAR CONVENTIONALLY BUILT HOMES ARE NOT INSPECTED BY, UM, THE BUILDING OFFICIAL AS PART OF THE INITIAL CONSTRUCTION THERE. THEY'RE APPROVED AT THE FACTORY AND SEND DOWN HERE AND THEY THEY FOLLOW RULES THAT ARE DIFFERENT THAN THE THAN THE BUILDING CODE RULES THAT THAT THAT ARE BUILDING OFFICIALS ARE ARE GOVERNED BY. SO THIS IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT SET OF RULES THAT THAT THAT THAT ARE THAT ARE NOT THE ONES THAT WE USE FOR CONVENTIONALLY BUILT HOMES THAT WE INSPECT CURRENTLY, SO THE FEEDBACK WE GOT FROM THE DEPARTMENT. UM WAS THAT THEY WOULD PREFER NOT TO BE INVOLVED IN THESE INSPECTIONS. UM, FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS, BUT BUT I IN PART BECAUSE, UM, THE TRAINING THEY HAVE IN THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE DOES NOT NECESSARILY, UM TRANSFERABLE TO, UM, THE TRAINING THAT'S BEING ASKED AS PART OF THIS INSPECTION PROCESS, AND, UM, THERE'S LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO CAN DO THIS WORK.UM, WHO WE BELIEVE ARE GOING TO BE WILLING TO DO THIS WORK WITH THIS LIST THAT WE'VE PROVIDED, BUT UH, THAT'S ULTIMATELY UP TO THE BOARD. SO THE BUILDING INSPECTION DEPARTMENT IS USED TO LOOKING AT SPECIFICATIONS ON WINDOWS AND DOORS, GARAGE DOORS. THAT TYPE THING, AND ALL OF THESE MOBILE HOMES COME WITH THOSE TYPE, UM, SPECIFICATIONS ON HOW THE ROOF IS BUILT, AND THE WALLS ARE BUILT, AND WE DO REQUIRE THEM TO BE, UH, ANCHORED TO MEET THE WIND LOAD. UM SO I DON'T I DON'T IF THEY CAN INSPECT A HIGH RISE, I THINK I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE AN EASY AN EASY JOB FOR THEM TO INSPECT THE, UH, THE MOBILE HOMES AND I AGREE. WE SHOULD PROBABLY JUST KEEP OUR RATE. UH IN LINE. IT'S WE IT WAS A TERRIBLE OVERSIGHT. AND I'M GOING TO SAY ON MY PART FOR SURE, BECAUSE I REALLY WASN'T THINKING ABOUT HOW EXPENSIVE THE ENGINEER AND ARCHITECT WAS WHEN WE FIRST AGREED, UH, AND VOTED ON THIS, SO I TAKE RESPONSIBILITY THAT WE SHOULD HAVE COME UP WITH SOMETHING. UM THAT WAS MORE AFFORDABLE AND A LITTLE SMARTER THAN THROWING THAT BIG BIG NUMBER OUT THERE, SO I THINK WE SHOULD, UH, CARRY
[01:00:01]
ON. AND I'VE TOLD THE CITIZENS THE SAME THING THAT I SAID THE EXACT THAT'S ON ME. THAT'S MY DIDN'T ASK THESE QUESTIONS. DIDN'T DO THESE, BRIAN. I THINK ONE OTHER THING THAT WOULD BE GOOD IS THE CIRCULARITY THAT YOU AND I FOUND OUT ABOUT WHAT THE STATE EVEN SAYS ABOUT WHO IS CERTIFIED TO BE ABLE TO DO. THE CONSTRUCTION AND DIFFERENT THINGS. IF YOU REMEMBER THAT THE STATE REGS DATE IN WHAT WAS IT IN 30 YEARS, THEY STILL HAVEN'T FULLY IDENTIFIED. SO, UM THE STATUTE GOVERNING WHO CAN DO THE WORK INSIDE THE BUILDING. SO WE'RE WE'RE NOW SWITCHING TOPICS TO THE FROM THE INSPECTION TO THE ACTUAL PEOPLE WHO CAN DO THE WORK. UM THE STATUTE SAYS, UM, THE COUNTIES AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CAN IDENTIFY WHO'S UM UH, WHO WHO HAS THE RIGHT CAPABILITIES TO DO THAT WORK? UM AND THAT'S TYPICALLY LEFT TO THE COUNTIES. BAY COUNTY DOESN'T HAVE AN ORDINANCE THAT ADDRESSES THAT, WHEN, WHEN THE WHEN THE COUNTY DOESN'T ADDRESS IT. THE STATUTE, UM, SAYS THAT THE STATE DMV IS SUPPOSED TO, UM CREATE A PROCESS FOR, UM CERTIFYING PEOPLE AS BEING, UM, APPROPRIATE TO DO THIS WORK, UM, COME UP WITH A DATABASE OF PEOPLE WHO CAN DO IT. THEY'VE NEVER UM, IN THE 30 YEARS SINCE THE STATUTE WAS CREATED, THEY'VE NEVER IMPLEMENTED THAT STATUTE. SO UM, THERE IS NO LIST OF STATE CERTIFIED PEOPLE WHO CAN DO THAT WORK. UM THEY HAVE, UM, WE'VE HAD SOME DISCUSSIONS WITH THE GENERAL COUNSEL'S OFFICE AND BASED ON THOSE DISCUSSIONS, WE BELIEVE THAT THE, UM THAT THE DMV VS POSITION IS THAT, UM BUILDING CONTRACTORS WHO WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT WORK IF THIS WAS A BUILDING CODE BUILDING RATHER THAN A MOBILE HOME WOULD BE ANYBODY WHO HAS A STATE LICENSE THAT ALLOWS THEM TO DO SIMILAR WORK IN A REGULAR BUILDING WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT WORK HERE AND SO THAT'S THE POSITION THAT WE'VE TAKEN BUT BUT YES IN THE 30 YEARS SINCE THE STATUTE WAS CREATED, THE DMV HAS NOT ELECTED TO IMPLEMENT THE DIRECTION THAT THE LEGISLATURE GAVE THEM TO CREATE A STATE CERTIFIED LIST OF PEOPLE WHO CAN DO THAT WORK IN THE ABSENCE OF A COUNTY ORDINANCE. YOU KNOW. THE OTHER OPTION, OF COURSE, IS FOR THE FOR THE COUNTY TO ADOPT SOME KIND OF ORDINANCE THAT WOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS, UM AND MAKE IT MAKE IT CLEAR, BUT THAT WOULD BE A WHOLE DIFFERENT DISCUSSION.ONE OF THE THINGS I LIKE ABOUT WHAT BRIAN'S DONE HERE, BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE, AND WHAT BILL WAS JUST SAYING IS WITH WHAT THEY DID ADD HERE WITH BEING A STATE CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED BUILDER, RESIDENTIAL OR GENERAL CONTRACTOR, THAT THESE PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE THESE INSPECTIONS BASED ON THESE CONVERSATIONS ARE ALSO THE ONES THAT HAVE REPAIRS NEED TO BE MADE. THEY CAN INSPECT, AND THEN THEY CAN ALSO STEP IN AND START DOING THE REPAIRS FOR THE CITIZENS ON THESE HOMES AS WELL. SO THAT WOULD ADDRESS TO ME. I'M LOOKING AT IT GOING DOWN THE ROAD.
THERE'S CODE ENFORCEMENT OR SOMETHING WE'VE GOT AT THAT POINT IN TIME. WE'VE GOT SOMEBODY THAT IS CERTIFIED AND BEING ABLE TO DO THIS FOR BEING ABLE TO DO REPAIRS AND EVERYTHING TO HOPEFULLY ADDRESS. SOME OF THE ISSUES WE'VE EXPERIENCED IN THE PAST AS WELL RELATED TO CODE ENFORCEMENT MATTERS AND REPAIRS OF STRUCTURES. YEAH, I. I THINK WE'RE, UH I THINK WE'RE CREATING A SITUATION THAT THAT NEED TO BE CREATED BECAUSE AS FAR AS MAKING IT SO HARD, WHAT'S SO HARD ABOUT INSPECTING A MOBILE HOME AND FIXING A MOBILE HOME? IT'S NOT THAT HARD, AND WE'RE MAKING IT HARD. SO I THINK THAT, UH I THINK THAT JUST LIKE A REGULAR BUILDING. IF RIGHT NOW, THE WAY THE CODE IS A CONTRACTOR WITH A CONTRACTOR'S LICENSE CAN FIX A REGULAR HOUSE A STICK BUILT HOME. HE CAN FIX IT. OR THE HOMEOWNER CAN FIX IT. IF HE CHOOSES TO DO THAT, WE GO OUT THERE AND WE EXPECT IT. GREEN LIGHT OR RED LIGHT. YOU HAVEN'T DONE THE JOB OR YOU HAVE DONE YOUR JOB. THAT'S ALL WE NEED TO DO WITH THESE MOBILE HOMES. IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. AND SO I THINK WE'RE JUST CREATING THEM. WE HAVE A PROBLEM THAT WE DON'T NEED TO HAVE AND LET'S MAKE IT SIMPLE AND MOVE FORWARD. YEP. SO I THINK WE CAN FIGURE SOMETHING OUT. I THINK SO. UM AND I LIKE YOUR SUGGESTION ABOUT ADDING TO ADDING TO THE CODE, YOU KNOW, HAVING OUR GUYS WHERE THEY CAN DO IT. WE NEED TO GET THEM THE TRAINING WHATEVER TRAINING THEY NEED. WE NEED TO DO THAT. BUT LET'S DO IT AND MOVE FORWARD. AND THIS WILL BE, UH, THIS IS NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL. I THINK WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE PUTTING TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT INTO IT. AND SO, UH, THE MAIN OBJECTIVE WE'RE WE'RE TRYING TO GET THESE THINGS INSPECTED, SO WE GOTTA FIND WHOEVER'S QUALIFIED TO DO IT. AND IF THESE HOME INSPECTORS CAN DO IT, THEN WE NEED TO ALLOW THEM TO DO IT. I. I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH US. PUTTING THE BUILDER SERVICES ALLOW THEM TO DO IT. WE'VE GOT A LITTLE TIME BEFORE WE CAN COME UP WITH THE FEES. WE'VE GOT SEVERAL THAT ARE IN THE QUEUE THAT NOW WILL HAVE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES. SO YOU CAN KIND OF FIND OUT WHAT THAT FAIR PRICING IS, UM, I. I DON'T WANT TO JUST SET A NUMBER HIGH ABOVE
[01:05:05]
EVERYBODY ELSE BECAUSE WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS THAT WELL, WE KNOW THAT THEY'LL CHARGE THIS SO WE CAN BE JUST BE UNDER IT. I. I JUST DON'T WANNA OVER INFLATE FOR A SERVICE THAT COULD BE DONE. WE GOT A LOT OF TIME. I THINK WE APPROVE WHAT WE HAVE HERE AT BUILDER SERVICES. LET'S LET THESE PEOPLE GET IN THEIR MOBILE HOMES. YEAH. HE SMOKES WASTE. WE CAN FIGURE IT OUT. SO I MAKE A MOTION WE APPROVE, AS IS AND INCLUDING BUILDER SERVICE. GOT A MOTION IN A SECOND. PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. COMMISSIONER CARROLL. YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER PEACE YES, MA'AM.

UM AND LAST NIGHT, I GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO. UM OUR OLDEST GRADUATED FROM JUNIOR LEADERSHIP BAY. UM, I KNOW ROBERT STUBER DID A FEW YEARS BACK AS WELL. UM, UH THE, UH MARK MENTIONED THAT WE HAVE 28,000 STUDENTS IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT. AND THAT, UM, YOU SAW THE STUDENTS HERE THAT WERE EXCELLING AT THAT. AND THEN THESE STUDENTS WERE CHOSEN FOR JUNIOR LEADERSHIP BAY FROM, UM FROM THE SCHOOL STAFF, AND THESE 25 STUDENTS GRADUATED LAST NIGHT, AND IT WAS INTERESTING LISTENING TO OF THE STUDENTS THAT WENT THROUGH THIS LEARNED ABOUT SOME OF OUR COMMUNITY, AND ACTUALLY, ONE OF THEM WAS ABLE TO THEY ACHIEVED A SCHOLARSHIP. THE GULF COAST AND THE FSU PC ALSO LEARNED ABOUT SOME OF THE INDUSTRY THAT WE HAVE HERE AND WITH THAT SCHOLARSHIP IS GOING TO BE PURSUING ONE OF THE MAJORS THERE AT GULF COAST AND FSU PC AND IS PLANNING ON STAYING HERE IN THE COMMUNITY WITH THAT. MAJOR AND THEN ANOTHER STUDENT WHO SPOKE ALSO WAS LOOKING AT GOING A DIFFERENT WAY. AND AFTER GOING THROUGH THIS PROGRAM REALIZED THAT WE WERE SOMETHING HERE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT SHE COULD SINK HER TEETH INTO, AND SHE'S CHOSEN THAT FIELD AS HER MAJOR AS WELL WITH LOOKING AT COMING BACK HERE OR STAYING HERE AND GOING TO SCHOOL, SO I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS NEAT AND KUDOS TO THE CHAMBER FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE WITH THAT OF JUST LETTING THE STUDENTS KNOW WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE ARE GROWING. WE'VE GOT A LOT OF GREAT OPPORTUNITIES IN FRONT OF US. AND JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY. THAT'S IT. UM YES, UM WE, UH, YOU MAY HAVE SEEN ON THE NEWS. UH, THERE'S A NEWS CLIP ABOUT, UH, ANOTHER VESSEL HAS BEEN SUNK. UM, WE'VE BEEN ABLE
[01:10:05]
TO, UM ADD TO THE ARTIFICIAL REEF PROGRAM. THAT'S UH, THAT'S OUT IN THE GULF. AND SO IT'S A GOOD EFFORT MOVING FORWARD AND, UH, APPRECIATE ALL THOSE INVOLVED TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.IT'S GONNA REALLY HELP OUT ALSO, UH, TODAY WE, UH THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ON THE LIFELINE PROGRAM AT THE JAIL. JUST WANTED TO COMMENT ON THAT THAT IT'S A AS AN OUTSTANDING PROGRAM. I THINK THE SHERIFF AND HIS STAFF AT THE JAIL. THEY DO THEY DO A GREAT JOB WITH THAT PROGRAM AND, UH, GLAD TO SEE IT MOVING FORWARD, UH, TO ENHANCE THE PROGRAM EVEN MORE. PEOPLE COME OUT OF THAT PROGRAM A MUCH BETTER OFF THAN THEY WERE WHEN THEY WENT INTO IT, SO IT'S A GOOD PROGRAM. AND, UH, THAT'S ALL THAT I HAVE. OK, ALL RIGHT. YES SIR. JUST A FEW THINGS. I WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT, UH , TINDER WILL BE HOSTING AN AIR SHOW MAY 4TH AND FIFTH AT THE BEACH PIER PARK. SO GO AHEAD AND MAKE YOUR ACCOMMODATIONS. IT'D BE QUITE COOL TO STAY OUT ON FRONT BEACH AND WATCH THE AIR SHOW RIGHT OUT OF YOUR ROOM ON A BALCONY THERE. UM TODAY MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. WE HAVE ELECTIONS GOING ON IN CALAWAY, MEXICO BEACH AND PANAMA CITY BEACH. YOU STILL HAVE EIGHT HOURS AND 49 MINUTES TO GO VOTE, SO THERE IS PLENTY OF TIME. IT'S RIGHT OUTSIDE THIS DOOR TO GO VOTE. UH, LASTLY, UH, WE ALL HAD THE HONOR. UH, WE ALL GET INVITED TO BE PART OF THE DISABILITY INTEGRATION BASEBALL GAME, WHICH WAS ON SUNDAY AT GULF COAST. UH, ONE OF OUR MEMBERS UP HERE. YOU CAN FIGURE IT OUT WHEN HE GETS UP AND TRIES TO WALK AWAY THAT HE MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE HURT HIMSELF PLAYING THIS BASEBALL GAME. SO BUT ANYWAY, IT WAS INCREDIBLE TO WATCH THESE KIDS GET TO PLAY AND BE PART OF THAT. AND UH, WATCH THE COMMUNITY COME OUT AND SUPPORT THESE. THESE UH YOUNG MEN THAT WERE OUT THERE PLAYING.
SO WITH THAT, THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. I JUST WANTED TO, UH, TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT A DOGS IF I MIGHT SO I'M FROM GEORGIA ORIGINALLY AND IN GEORGIA, UM MOST EVERY WEEKEND. UH, HUNTERS WOULD RELEASE THEIR DOGS, BIRD DOGS, UH, DEER DOGS ON A SUNDAY EVENING, AND, UM MAYBE THAT REQUIRED MONDAY MORNING TO CALL IN SICK BECAUSE THEY WERE STILL LOOKING FOR THE DOG AND THE DOG COULD GO A COUNTY OVER AND BE LOST. SO I WANNA BRING, UM, UP SOMETHING HERE IN BAY COUNTY THAT I FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO DRAW ATTENTION TO AND MAKE A CHANGE ON. WE'VE GOT A RULE HERE THAT IF DOGS, CATS, FERRETS, ANY ANIMALS, OR, UM TRAPPED BY NEIGHBOR OR BROUGHT TO OUR, UM UH, OUR SPOT THERE WHERE WE KEEP WHERE WE KEEP THE DOGS AND CATS THAT THAT COME IN. WE'VE ONLY WE'VE ONLY GOT A THREE DAY LIMIT WINDOW ON, UM EUTHANIZING THE ANIMAL. NOW THE REASON THAT I WANT TO BRING UP THE YOU KNOW, THE GEORGIA DEER HUNTING IS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND DOGS. COULD GO COUNTY OVER PEOPLE GO OUT OF TOWN ON A FRIDAY NIGHT. THE PERSON THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE IN CARE OF THEIR PET LEAVES. THE DOOR OPEN DOESN'T REALIZE THE ANIMALS OUT. YOU KNOW, COME TUESDAY MORNING. MAYBE THE MAYBE THE FOLKS AREN'T BACK FROM THEIR VACATION. THEY DON'T EVEN REALIZE THAT THE CATS OUT THE NEIGHBORS TRAPPED IT.
THEY BROUGHT IT BROUGHT IT TO US. WE HAVE A TIME LIMIT ON IT. I THINK IT'S TOO SHORT. UM MY DOG IS A BELGIAN MALIN WAN. SHE'S A LOT FASTER THAN I AM. I LET HER OUT. SHE DID NOT MIND ME AND CHASED A RABBIT YESTERDAY AND I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT HOW QUICKLY SHE COULD HAVE GOTTEN OUT AND GOTTEN TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. GOTTEN LOST. AND HOW UPSET I WOULD BE IF YOU KNOW IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HER, SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US CHANGE, UH, TO DOUBLE THE TIME LIMIT ON HOW LONG WE KEEP THE ANIMALS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT? I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT DOING THAT. BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE US, UH, MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. OK ALL RIGHT. UM I JUST GOT A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANTED TO ADDRESS THAT THIS WEEK IS THE NATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATION WEEK TO RECOGNIZE ALL OF OUR, UM, BASICALLY, OUR 911 OPERATORS THAT, UM, WORKED TIRELESSLY 24 7 TO TAKE THE CALLS FROM FOLKS THAT ARE PROBABLY EXPERIENCING ONE OF THE WORST DAYS OF THEIR LIFE. UM SO WE'D LIKE TO, UH, JUST SHOW RECOGNITION FOR THEM PEOPLE FOR THOSE FOLKS AND, UH, TO DOVETAIL OFF WHAT ROBERT SAID, UM BASEBALL GAME YESTERDAY WAS ENJOYABLE. UM BUT HE AND I HAD THIS VERY CONVERSATION AS WE WERE WARMING UP THAT OUR BRAINS
[01:15:01]
WERE TELLING US THAT WE WERE MUCH YOUNGER THAN THE REST OF OUR BODY WAS AND NOW I'M LIVING PROOF OF THAT. I I PULLED A MUSCLE DOING THE MOST SIMPLE. THING. AND UH, NOW I'M LIMPING BECAUSE OF IT. UM AND SO IT WAS LIKE WE HAD THAT CONVERSATION, BUT IT JUST DIDN'T DIDN'T QUITE SINK IN. UM EVEN THOUGH, UM, WE TALKED ABOUT IT. NOT 30 MINUTES BEFORE IT HAPPENED. UM UH, LASTLY, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS TOO, THAT I LIKE I'D ALSO LIKE TO BRING UP AS WELL, UH, FOR STAFF TO LOOK AT IS, UM, I'VE BEEN OUT IN THE COMMUNITY A LOT LATELY. OBVIOUSLY UM, I'M UP FOR RE-ELECTION. SO I'M OUT, UM, GETTING PETITIONS SIGNED. AND I RUN ACROSS A LOT OF PEOPLE. UH, INQUIRING ABOUT PARKING, UM, AT AT THE PIER. AND I WANTED US TO FIND OUT TO LOOK TO SEE UM, IF THERE'S A WAY THAT WE COULD STILL HAVE THE PEOPLE GO THROUGH THE VERIFICATION PROCESS THAT THEY ARE BAY COUNTY RESIDENTS, BUT LET'S MAYBE LOOK AT MAYBE NOT CHARGING THEM THE $80 A YEAR FOR THE PARKING PASS. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY WE'RE GONNA BE FOREGOING OFF OF LOCALS, AND I KNOW MOST OF THIS IS PROBABLY BEEN DRIVEN OR IS, UM THE IDEA IS TO TRY TO GET THE TOURISM TO PAY FOR IT BECAUSE THOSE ARE MUCH HIGHER RATES FOR THE FOR THE FOLKS THAT THAT COME HERE AND VISIT, BUT THAT IS THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I'D LIKE TO SEE IF WE COULD GET UM, SOME KIND OF ESTIMATION ON THAT TO JUST I GUESS JUST TO SEE EXACTLY JUST HOW MANY LOCAL PEOPLE WOULD BE USING THAT THAT FEATURE. UM I DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD AMOUNT TO ANY GREAT, UH, AMOUNT OF MONEY.UM BUT, UM, I THINK IT'D BE SOMETHING I THINK WE SHOULD LOOK AT AND TRY TO OFFER FOR BAY COUNTY RESIDENTS. THE PEER PARKING OR ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE PARKING OR THE PIER? BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE PARKING THE JUST THE PARKING AT THE PIER, NOT THE PIER PASSES THAT THE SPECTATOR PASSES FISHING PASSES. ALL THAT STILL REMAIN THE SAME. JUST JUST THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PARKING WITH THIS APP. WE GOT GOING NOW. WE CAN. WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT. UH, THE THING THAT'S LACKING AT THE MOMENT IS A DATA SET. SO, UM, WE'RE PROBABLY TALKING ABOUT A MAYBE GET THROUGH THE SEASON. I MEAN, AGAIN. THAT'S WHAT'S LACKING. WE CAN. WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS. WE WENT LIVE ON FRIDAY. SO IF I HAVE STAFF FULL OF DATA SET RIGHT NOW, AND THEY TELL ME, YOU KNOW, IN THE LAST SEVEN DAYS, YOU KNOW HOW MANY RESIDENTS PARKED VERSUS NON-RESIDENT? I MEAN, I DON'T THINK THAT'S ENOUGH OF A OF A SAMPLE SIZE. UM SO YEAH, WE WOULD. WE WOULD WANNA COME. WE WOULD WANNA HAVE A SAMPLE SIZE TO BE ABLE TO COME BACK AND REPORT TO THE BOARD. HEY, AND, UH, X NUMBER OF MONTH PERIOD OF TIME, YOU KNOW, AND WE MAY WE MAY ACTUALLY HAVE TO PUT SOMETHING IN PLACE TO BE ABLE TO TRACK BE ABLE TO CAPTURE THAT DATA AT POINT OF SALE TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO TELL. UM I, I CAN'T TELL YOU RIGHT NOW. I MEAN, I. I KNOW IF THEY REGISTER FOR A LOCAL PASS. WE CERTAINLY CAN GET THAT INFORMATION BECAUSE THE TAG IS PART OF THAT, UM BUT I MEAN, WE CAN DO IT AGAIN. I THINK THE THING THAT'S LACKING IS THE DATA SET. SO IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH, I'D SAY MINIMUM OF 90 DAYS. MAXIMUM OF 100 AND 80. BUT I THINK WE NEED TO GET THROUGH. UM YOU KNOW, WE'RE WE'RE COMING OFF SPRING BREAK. WE'RE KIND OF IN THAT LITTLE BIT OF A LULL WITH A SEASON. UH, IF WE WANT TO MAKE A GOOD YOU KNOW, DATABASE DECISION I'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GET MAYBE THROUGH THE END OF THE MAYBE THE END OF THE SEASON. JULY I KNOW, OF COURSE, I KNOW. FOURTH OF JULY IS, UM, OUR PEAK. FOR TOURISM. WOULD PROBABLY BE THE LOWEST LEVEL FOR LOCALS. I KNOW PEOPLE WHEN IT'S REAL BUSY OUT THERE. LOCALS TEND TO STAY AWAY OR AT LEAST WE DO, BUT I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT LIVE OUT THERE ANYWAY. THE OTHER THE OTHER THING THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE SKEWED THE DATA SET AS THE AIR SHOW. AND SO I'VE COMMUNICATED THIS TO OUR MEMBERS OF OUR STAFF THAT ARE WORKING ON THIS. BUT UM, I'VE WORKED IN A COMMUNITY PREVIOUSLY THAT HAD A COASTAL AIR SHOW AND IT IS GOING TO BE PHENOMENAL. THERE ARE GOING TO BE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT COME TO THIS COMMUNITY TO SEE. AND PARKING IS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM NIGHTMARE. YEAH, SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT SKEWED.
WE'LL HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE FOR THAT SHOW THAT ARE PARKING AT THE PIER. SO YOU KNOW, WE WANNA WE WANNA KIND OF BE ABLE TO GET YEAH. GO THROUGH THAT AND GET YOU GUYS A GOOD DAY TO SETTLE, BUT I THINK ULTIMATELY, IF THE IF THE GOAL IS TO WAIVE THE FEES FOR LOCALS, THERE'S A METHOD TO DO THAT. UM, BUT IF YOU WANT TO SEE A DAD A DATA SET ON HOW THAT WILL IMPACT WE JUST NEED A LITTLE BIT OF YEAH. YEAH BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY UP UNTIL NOW, WE HAVE NO IDEA OF KNOWING. COMES AND GOES. WHERE THEY'RE FROM. UM BUT BUT NOW WE'LL BE I WOULD TAKE IT. THE GOAL WOULD BE TO GET THE LOCALS WHERE THERE'S A NO CHARGE BECAUSE GETTING A DATA SET THAT'S GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE BECAUSE WE NOW MAY HAVE LOGO AS WELL. I'M NOT GOING TO PAY IT SO THEREFORE THEY'RE NOT GOING SO WE CAN'T CAPTURE THAT DATA BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT ATTENDING. SO UM, I I'VE HEARD THE SAME COMMENTS AS YOU KNOW, NO CHARGING FOR LOCALS. SO I, I THINK WITH THE GEOCACHING ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT THAT CAN BE DONE. I THINK WE CAN GET THERE. YEAH, I THINK SO, TOO. I THINK, UM, WITH THIS APP WE GOT I THINK THERE'S GONNA BE GREAT. THE ABILITIES WITH THAT TO POINT OF SALE TYPE STUFF. WE OUGHT TO HAVE A, UH THE INFORMATION NEEDED FOR THAT. BUT OK, I. I
[01:20:08]
WOULD JUST SAY THAT, UH, WOW. TO GET A GREAT SEAT AT THE AIR SHOW I'D PAY TO DO THAT. YEAH JUST A JOKE. YEAH YEAH. YEAH I'M I'M PROBABLY GONNA BE ONE OF THE ONES UM, TO ALSO, I'LL BE WORKING OUT, UH, TO PAY AS WELL, BECAUSE, UH, YEAH, I DO. I. I AGREE WITH YOU, BOB. I THINK IT'S GONNA BE, UH, HOPEFULLY WE'LL JUST BE A PHENOMENAL EVENT AND, UH, PARKING WILL BE A COMMODITY. UM, NO DOUBT, NO DOUBT. YEAH. OK WELL, UM WITH THAT, I GUESS, UM, NOTHING ELSE.UH, MEETING IS ADJOURNED. GOOD.
