REGULAR AGENDA, MISS MIRANDA. FY 2025, FEES AND FINES. SCHEDULE FLOOR IS YOURS, MA'AM. GOOD MORNING. HERE WE BRING TO YOU THE COMBINED FEES AND TIME SCHEDULE. THE FY 25 SCHEDULE IS BEFORE YOU TODAY. NORMALLY, THESE RATES WOULD BE EFFECTIVE OCTOBER FIRST AT THE BEGINNING OF OUR FISCAL YEAR. THIS YEAR, WE ARE ASKING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE OF JANUARY FIRST. PLEASE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION NEEDED AND ADOPT THE ATTACHED FEES AND FINES RESOLUTION AND SCHEDULE WITH AN EFFECTIVE DATE OF JANUARY FIRST. I'M HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS. NO. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. I DO HAVE ONE COMMENT. I'M SITTING HERE TRYING TO SAY, SHOULD I SAY IT? SHOULD I NOT SAY IT OR SHOULD I JUMP IN? JUMP OUT. YOU'RE ABOUT TO RETIRE. DON'T WORRY. YEAH, I'M ABOUT TO RETIRE. I'LL SAY WHAT I WANT. SO, YOU KNOW, IN THIS WHOLE PROCESS, THERE WERE SOME NEW FEES THAT CAME UP. AND IN OUR CONVERSATIONS, I THINK THAT IT IS IMPORTANT. AND I AGREE WITH THE FACT THAT AS IN CERTAIN PLACES, AS A FEE COMES UP, IN ORDER TO KEEP THE MILLAGE RATE LOW, THAT IT'S THAT A USER FEE IS APPROPRIATE. SO IF SOMEBODY IS USING A PARTICULAR FACILITY OR USING A PARTICULAR ENTITY AND THEY PAY A SMALL FEE FOR THAT VERSUS EVERYBODY IN THE COUNTY RAISING THE MILLAGE RATE. SO EVERYBODY HAS A FREE, FREE ACCESS TO WHATEVER I, I AGREE WITH THAT. AND SO AS THESE FEES CAME TO US, SOME OF THESE FEES, I QUESTIONED THEM AND WE HAD GOOD CONVERSATION ABOUT IT. AND, AND IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, THE WHEN YOU LOOK AT SOMETHING AND YOU SEE A NEW FEE, AUTOMATICALLY A RED FLAG GOES UP. BUT IN THE CASE THAT WE'RE THAT WE HAVE HERE, I BELIEVE IT IS POSITIVE FOR BAY COUNTY THAT WE'RE KEEPING THE MILLAGE RATE LOW AND WE'RE WE'RE GIVING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE ACCESS AND TO USE CERTAIN FACILITIES IN THE COUNTY. AND THEY JUST PAY AS THEY GO. AND I THINK THAT'S THE RIGHT WAY TO DO IT. SO I JUST WANT TO APPRECIATE I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR US AND GUIDING US THROUGH THIS WHOLE PROCESS. THANK YOU. 
          [00:15:03]
THANK YOU. YEAH ANYBODY ELSE? NO. OKAY. YEAH. GOOD. I JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I WANTED TO WAS, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GIVING PEOPLE AMPLE NOTICE THAT THIS IS COMING. STARTING TOMORROW. IT'S STARTING. WHAT DID YOU SAY? JANUARY. JANUARY 1ST. JANUARY 1ST. SO? SO NOT ONLY WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING RETROACTIVE, WE'RE WE'RE GIVING PEOPLE AMPLE NOTICE THAT IT'S COMING. SO THERE'S NO SHOULD BE NO SURPRISES. AND WE WILL HAVE THIS WILL BE NOTICED IN ALL THE PROPER PLACES. SO IF SOMEONE MISSES IT IT'S GOING TO BE ON THEIR IT'LL BE THEIR PROBLEM OR NOT. NOT THEIR PROBLEM. IT'LL BE THEIR FAULT I GUESS THAT THEY DIDN'T THEY DIDN'T CATCH IT. BUT BASICALLY YOU KNOW, WE'RE WE'RE GIVING GIVING THE PUBLIC PLENTY OF NOTICE THAT THIS IS COMING. 
          YES WE ARE. SO THAT'S ONE GOOD THING THAT I SAW WITH IT THAT I THOUGHT WAS POSITIVE AS WELL. 
          ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE? IF NOT, I'LL GET A MOTION TO APPROVE. MOTION TO APPROVE. 
          SECOND. ALL RIGHT. A MOTION AND A SECOND. COMMISSIONER CARROLL. YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER DOZIER. 
          [Collaborative Services]
YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER MOORE. YES, MA'AM. CHAIRMAN. HAM. YES, MA'AM. ALL RIGHT. NEXT. WE GO INTO PUBLIC HEARING NUMBER 16. THE STATE HOUSING INITIATIVE PROGRAM. LOCAL HOUSING MAP. MISS TAMMY HARRIS. GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. BEFORE I STEP INTO OUR LOCAL HOUSING ASSISTANCE PLAN, I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU A QUICK UPDATE ON THE PROCESS OF OUR HURRICANE MICHAEL GRANT. OUR HURRICANE RECOVERY PROGRAMS, FIRST OF ALL, WE WERE AWARDED APPROXIMATELY 38,000,000 IN 2 SEPARATE HPSP GRANTS, TO DATE, WE HAVE EXPENDED 33.7 MILLION OF THOSE DOLLARS, THE REMAINING FUNDS ARE ENCUMBERED. THEY'RE PART OF THE HPP TWO. THEY'RE TIED TO OUR MULTIFAMILY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT ON FLORIDA AVENUE, AKA THE BAYS. WORK GROUP HOUSING FOR PERSONS, ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES. WE'VE ALSO GOT QUITE A FEW, ABOUT 40 AWARD LETTERS OUT STILL FOR PURCHASE ASSISTANCE AND FOR REHAB PURCHASE ASSISTANCE IS REALLY WHAT'S BEEN A INITIALLY THE SHOT IN THE ARM WITH THIS GRANT. YOU KNOW COMING IN AFTER HURRICANE MICHAEL. HOUSING WAS AT THE FOREFRONT OF ALL THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY, WE HAVE EXPENDED 23 MILLION OF THE 33.7 ON PURCHASE ASSISTANCE. WE HAVE ASSISTED 439 FAMILIES TO GET A ROOF OVER THEIR HEAD AND GET INTO NEW HOMES. AND, WE'VE ALSO, THE MOST EXCITING THING ABOUT THE 23 MILLION IN PURCHASE ASSISTANCE, WHAT THAT HAS BROUGHT TO OUR COMMUNITY IS TOTAL HOME SALES OF $85 MILLION FOR EVERY $4. THIS GRANT BROUGHT INTO OUR COMMUNITY, WE ADDED A OR FOR EVERY $4 $1 OF GRANT FUNDS, CREATED THREE ADDITIONAL DOLLARS IN OUR COMMUNITY. NEW CONSTRUCTION HOMES. OUT OF THE 439, WE DID NEW CONSTRUCTION HOMES, 141 WERE ALL NEW CONSTRUCTION. I KNOW I'M ASKED THAT QUESTION A LOT, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO YOU. DO INFILL HOUSING, DO YOU? WE DIDN'T DIVE INTO HUGE PROBLEMS OR PROJECTS LIKE THAT BECAUSE OF OUR TIMELINE TO EXPEND THE GRANT, BUT IT IS GOOD TO KNOW THAT WE WERE ABLE TO ASSIST 141 LOW INCOME FAMILIES TO GET INTO A NEW CONSTRUCTION HOME. ANOTHER EXCITING STATISTIC TO THAT IS, 202 OF THE 439 HOMES WE HELPED WITH SOLD FOR 200,000 OR LESS. I'M ASKED THAT QUESTION A LOT, TOO. ARE YOU ABLE TO? I MEAN, LOW INCOME FAMILIES. CAN YOU GET THEM INTO A HOME FOR UNDER 200,000, YES, WE DID, TO THE TUNE OF 46% OF THOSE FUNDS. DURING THIS TIME, WE PARTNERED WITH THE AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION CENTER, AND OVER 400 FAMILIES RECEIVED CERTIFICATION IN FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS PROGRAMS. WE ALSO, DID IF YOU'RE AWARE, WE, HAVE A MOBILE HOME PROGRAM THAT IS ALSO CALLED A REPLACEMENT HOME PROGRAM THAT COMMISSIONERS APPROVED A COUPLE YEARS AGO AS A WAY FOR US TO ALSO HELP GET OUR CLIENTS INTO NEW CONSTRUCTION HOMES, WELL, UNDER 200,000 MORE AROUND THE 175 AND UNDER, WE HAVE SERVED 27 FAMILIES WITH NEW MOBILE HOMES, AT THE TUNE OF 3.8 MILLION, WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH OUR FIVE LOCAL, MANUFACTURED HOME COMPANIES. CURRENTLY WE HAVE JUST FINISHED 
          [00:20:06]
FLETCHER BLACK ONE AND TWO, WE CONTRIBUTED 4 MILLION TO THE PROJECT. THAT'S LOCATED ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE GOVERNMENT CENTER HERE. THAT CREATED 164 ADDITIONAL RENTAL UNITS FOR OUR RESIDENTS. KEEPING IN MIND THAT, HOMEOWNERSHIP AND RENTAL IS 50 OVER 50 IN BAY COUNTY. SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE'RE MINDFUL OF BOTH WHEN WE'RE SPENDING OUR GRANT FUNDS. 
          CURRENTLY, WE HAVE, ANOTHER 2 MILLION TOWARD FOR SOVEREIGN AT NORTH BAY. THE PROJECT THAT'S ON, FLORIDA AVENUE. KEEPING IN MIND OF COURSE, THE LAB IS GOING TO REPRESENT THE HOUSING SERVICES DIVISION THAT IS TRANSITIONING FROM A DISASTER RECOVERY DIVISION INTO YOUR STANDARD LOCAL SHIP OFFICE. IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF HURRICANE MICHAEL FUNDS THAT WE RECEIVED, EVEN WITH PROGRAM INCOME, BY THE TIME WE CLOSE THIS SECOND PORTION OF HPP TWO NEXT JUNE, WE WILL PROBABLY HAVE EXPENDED CLOSER TO 43 MILLION OVER FOUR YEARS. THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MINUTE, BECAUSE NOW WE ARE A HOUSING DIVISION THAT'S GOING TO BE AWARDED 1 MILLION A YEAR. BAY COUNTY HAS EXPENDED ENOUGH FUNDS. THE 43 MILLION THAT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO RECEIVE FOR THE NEXT 43 YEARS. LOOK AT IT. THAT WAY, BECAUSE THAT TELLS YOU ONE, HOW AMAZING THE COUNTY HAS BEEN WITH EXPANDING THE HURRICANE GRANT. BUT THEN IT ALSO HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND WHY THIS UPCOMING LOCAL HOUSING ASSISTANCE PLAN IS GOING TO BE REPRESENTATIVE OF A MILLION A YEAR, BECAUSE THAT'S OUR FUTURE. SO NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED FROM THE PREVIOUS PLAN THAT THE COMMISSIONERS APPROVED. BUT WE DID DO SOME REVISIONS THAT ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE, OF COURSE, WE'VE WE'VE DISCUSSED THE ARM'S LENGTH POLICY, AND THAT'S JUST TO PROTECT OUR OFFICE WHEN WE'RE WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY TO MAKE SURE WE'RE GOOD STEWARDS OF THE FUNDS, MAKE SURE THERE'S NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST BETWEEN ALL PARTIES INVOLVED WITH THE TRANSACTION. 
          WE HAVE ADDED A PURCHASE ASSISTANCE WITH REHAB PROGRAM. WE REALIZE THAT, YOU KNOW, COMING IN AFTER HURRICANE MICHAEL, WE PURCHASED ABOUT 25 FEMA TRAILERS, PROBABLY MORE THAN 25. I WANT TO SAY CLOSER TO MAYBE, LIKE 45 FEMA MOBILE HOMES TO QUICKLY REHOUSE OUR CLIENTS. 
          SO PART OF RAPID REHOUSING WAS PURCHASING FEMA TRAILERS AND THEN PUTTING THEM INTO RENTAL PARKS, MOBILE HOME PARKS. WE'VE REALIZED WE'VE WE'VE DONE OUR OUR STAFF THERE. LORI AND NINA, WE'VE MONITORED THESE MOBILE HOMES AND FOUND OUT THAT APPROXIMATELY 25 OF THESE ARE EITHER VACANT, NEVER WERE OCCUPIED OR THAT THE TENANT THAT THEY WERE PURCHASED FOR IS NOW USING THEM FOR RENTAL INCOME AND NOT LIVING IN IT AT ALL. THIS NEW STRATEGY WILL ALLOW US TO TAKE THESE VACANT HOMES, REHAB THEM, AND MAKE THEM LIVABLE AGAIN FOR EXTREMELY LOW AND VERY LOW INCOME RESIDENTS. THESE ARE RESIDENTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE, VETERANS, HOMELESS VETERANS, YOUTH AGING OUT OF FOSTER CARE, THE ELDERLY. ANY SPECIAL NEEDS POPULATION THAT HAS SOME SORT OF INCOME, THEY IT COULD BE SSI, IT COULD BE DISABILITY. BUT THAT CAN BRING ENOUGH INCOME TO THE TABLE TO BE ABLE TO PAY THE LOT RENT AND THEIR UTILITIES. WE'RE GOING TO WORK CLOSELY WITH OUR LOCAL CONTINUUM OF CARE IN THEIR COORDINATED ENTRY SYSTEM TO MAKE SURE WE'RE FOCUSING ON THE MOST IN NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY, SO WE CAN GET THEM HOUSED UNDER THIS NEW PROGRAM, THERE'S A MAXIMUM OF 25,000 AVAILABLE. WE MAY NOT NEED TO USE A 25,000 ON EACH HOME, BUT THAT WILL COVER EVERYTHING FROM THE REHAB TO THE NEW REGISTRATION TO TURNING ON THEIR UTILITIES, PAYING THEIR FIRST YEAR'S INSURANCE. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WHEN WE REACH OUT TO HELP THESE EXTREMELY LOW INCOME CLIENTS THAT WE'RE NOT COST BURDENING THEM IN THE FIRST YEAR. SO THEY CAN, BE ABLE TO CALL THIS THEIR NEW HOME AND MOVE FORWARD COMFORTABLY, SEVERAL OF OUR STRATEGIES, WHICH, PURCHASE ASSISTANCE YOU'LL SEE THAT OUR MAXIMUM AWARD NOW IS 50,000 AND OUR 
          [00:25:06]
MINIMUM IS 25,000. THAT STILL EXTREMELY GENEROUS COMING OFF OF 75 AND 50. IT MAY NOT APPEAR TO BE SO, BUT WE'RE STILL ABOVE, OR AT THE PEAK OF MOST OF THE 126 LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THAT OFFER THIS PROGRAM IN THE STATE. SO WE'RE STILL VERY GENEROUS, WITH OUR LOWER AMOUNTS HERE. WE HAVE ALSO, IF YOU LOOK AT PURCHASE ASSISTANCE, DEMO REHAB, EMERGENCY REPAIR, FORECLOSURE PREVENTION AND IMPACT FEES, WE ARE THE NEW LAP STOPS AT 80%. SO WE'RE GOING TO BE MOVING INTO A PROGRAM THAT WILL ONLY BE INCOME QUALIFYING LOW, VERY LOW AND EXTREMELY LOW. IF WE FIND THERE'S FUNDS REMAINING AFTER ALL SET ASIDES HAVE BEEN MET, WE CAN EXCEED THE 80%. BUT OUR FOCUS NOW IS TRULY LOW INCOME AND UNDER WITH OUR OUR NEW, TRANSITIONING OUT OF DISASTER RECOVERY. WE'VE ALSO, ADDED ANOTHER NEW STRATEGY THAT STRATEGY IS HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE AND PROPERTY TAX ASSISTANCE WITH THE HURRICANE MICHAEL FUNDS, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO, I MEAN, NEW CONSTRUCTION WISE FOR LOW INCOME AND THEN ESPECIALLY THE FAMILIES WE'VE HELPED UNDER OUR MOBILE HOME REPLACEMENT PROGRAM. WE THE COUNTY IS THE MAJOR LIEN HOLDER. WHEN WE DID A REPLACEMENT HOME IN MAKING SURE THAT OUR CLIENTS CAN, BECAUSE THEY'RE VERY LOW AND EXTREMELY LOW, CAN KEEP UP THEIR PROPERTY TAXES. AND THE INCREASES IN HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE. WE ARE OFFERING THIS PROGRAM, AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS, TO HELP OUR FAMILIES THAT WE HELPED LEASE UP IN A REPLACEMENT HOME, ASSIST WITH THESE EXPENSES. THEY WILL HAVE TO, BRING 10% TO THE TABLE, PURCHASE ASSISTANCE I PASSED BY. OUR CLIENTS ARE GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO BRING 2000 TO CLOSING. IT WAS THAT WAY BEFORE HURRICANE MICHAEL, AND WE'RE JUST BRINGING THAT BACK. SO YOU'LL SEE THAT WE'VE LOWERED SOME OF OUR AWARDS. AND THEN WE'RE ALSO REQUIRING OUR CLIENTS TO BRING A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY TO THE TABLE. THIS WILL ENSURE THAT THE FUNDS THAT WE RECEIVE IN THE FUTURE, THAT WE'RE DOING THE BEST WE CAN IN THE COMMUNITY AND THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY HELPING MORE, RESIDENTS WITH THE LOWER AMOUNT, THE TWO NEW STRATEGIES THAT WE'VE ADDED ARE NEW TO THE STATE. NO LOCAL GOVERNMENT HAS EVER OFFERED THESE BEFORE. THEY ARE UNIQUE TO BAY COUNTY BECAUSE OF HURRICANE MICHAEL. NO ONE ELSE IN THE STATE HAS REALLY WENT THROUGH WHAT BAY COUNTY HAS. SO I WORKED CLOSELY WITH FLORIDA HOUSING FINANCE AND FLORIDA HOUSING COALITION TO CRAFT THESE NEW STRATEGIES, AND THEY WERE APPROVED BY THEIR BOARD OF DIRECTORS. AND WE HOPE THAT YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE. ALSO WITH THEM TODAY AND APPROVE THEM, TO JUST, CONTINUE TO SEE THAT OUR, OUR NEEDS ARE A LITTLE MORE UNIQUE THAN THE STANDARD LOCAL GOVERNMENT, THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR YOU TODAY. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. QUESTIONS? COMMENTS COMMENTS. OKAY. SO THE 2 OR 3 THINGS COME TO MIND, THE WORD HELP IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE WHEN YOU SAID WE'RE THESE PROGRAMS THAT HAVE BEEN PUT TOGETHER ARE HERE TO HELP PEOPLE, THEY'RE NOT HERE TO GIVE TO PEOPLE AND LET THEM SIT AT HOME AND COLLECT OFF THE GOVERNMENT. THAT'S SOMETHING I'M 100% AGAINST. AND SO THESE PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO, TO, TO TAKE A WORKING FAMILY, AND HELP THEM GET ON THEIR FEET BETTER THAN, THAN BECAUSE PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF WHAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH, THROUGH MICHAEL AND ALL THROUGH THAT, SO THAT'S TO ME IS VERY IMPORTANT, AND YOUR STAFF, YOU AND YOUR STAFF HAVE DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB PUTTING ALL THIS TOGETHER, IT IS, YOU KNOW, THOSE OF US THAT WERE HERE AND PAYING ATTENTION, BEFORE MICHAEL, AND THEN SHORTLY AFTER MICHAEL, YOU CAME RIGHT AFTER MICHAEL. AND, THIS HOUSING PROGRAM IS NIGHT AND DAY BEFORE MICHAEL AND WHERE WE ARE TODAY. AND IT'S DUE TO YOU AND THE WORK YOU AND YOUR STAFF HAVE DONE. THEY'VE DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB. AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ON THE FLIP SIDE TO THAT, AS WE'RE AS YOU'RE WORKING AND AS WE'RE ALL WORKING TO HELP, GIVE PEOPLE A HAND UP IN THESE CERTAIN AREAS, JUST WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW THAT, ON THE FLIP SIDE, 
          [00:30:03]
WE'RE ALSO WORKING THROUGH BECCA HARDING AND THROUGH THE EDA TO ATTRACT NEW COMPANIES, NEW JOBS, NEW INDUSTRY INTO THIS AREA. SO THERE'S LESS LOW INCOME PEOPLE TO RAISE THE PAY SCALE SO PEOPLE CAN GO TO WORK MAKING A HIGHER WAGE AND, AND HAVE LESS PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT HAVE TO QUALIFY FOR THESE, THESE PROGRAMS. AND SO WE'RE HITTING IT FROM BOTH SIDES. WE'RE HELPING THE ONES WHO NEED THE HELP THAT WILL HELP THEMSELVES. AND WE'RE ALSO WORKING HARD TO ATTRACT GOOD QUALITY INDUSTRY INTO OUR AREA THROUGH THE EDA THAT DOES AN OUTSTANDING JOB ALSO. AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE APPROACHING IT FROM BOTH SIDES. WE'RE JUST NOT, YOU KNOW, HELPING THOSE THE BOTTOM HALF, WE'RE HELPING THE TOP HALF TO AS FAR AS PULLING THEM UP TO WHERE THEY CAN GET A BETTER JOB, A BETTER QUALITY, HIGHER PAYING JOB. AND SO THAT'S I JUST WANTED TO RECOGNIZE THAT. AND SAY THANK YOU TO YOU AND ALL OF YOUR STAF. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE, ONE THING I KNOW IS WE WENT THROUGH BILL, YOU TALKED ABOUT THE HELP WE DISCUSSED AS PART OF THE AHAC AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH THIS, ABOUT THE ASSISTANCE WITH COVERING THE INSURANCE AND THE DIFFERENT THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT AND THE RECENT RAISES IN THE COST OF INSURANCE FOR EVERYBODY AND, AND THE NECESSITY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DIDN'T SET SOMEBODY UP FOR FAILURE. SO THE AHAC WAS VERY COGNIZANT AND PAYING ATTENTION TO WE NEED TO DO THIS IN A WAY THAT, THE CITIZEN IS BEING BENEFITED, IS GOING THROUGH, IN PART OF WHAT THEY DO, GOES THROUGH A BUDGETING CLASS, EVERYTHING AS THEY'RE BEING QUALIFIED FOR THESE SUPPORT SERVICES. SO THEY'RE LEARNING HOW TO HANDLE ALL THESE THINGS, BUT ALSO AS THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THIS, THEY'RE WORKING. THE STAFF IS WORKING TO EDUCATE THEM ON BUDGETING AND DOING THOSE THINGS AND SETTING ASIDE THESE MONIES TO COVER A PORTION OF THE INSURANCE AND DIFFERENT THINGS. AND THAT IS VERY CLEARLY ARTICULATED FROM OUR STANDPOINT. THIS IS AN ASSISTANCE. NOW BUT YOU NEED TO START SAVING UP BECAUSE NEXT YEAR AND AS IT GOES FORWARD, THIS BILL IS GOING TO BE YOURS. WE ARE WE ARE SETTING A FOUNDATION FOR YOU TO BE SUCCESSFUL, BUT IT'S INCUMBENT UPON YOU, THE CITIZEN, TO TAKE THAT OF WHAT WE'RE DOING AND TO FOLLOW THROUGH. SO AS YOU SAID, IT'S NOT AN ONGOING THING, BUT IT IS AN INITIAL STEP TO HELP THEM START ON A FIRM FOUNDATION, TO BE ABLE TO HELP THE RESIDENTS OF BAY COUNTY. GOOD POINT. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE. 
          THANK YOU. YEAH. ECHO THE SAME THING. I MEAN, WE'RE EXTREMELY GRATEFUL AND PROUD TO HAVE YOU RUNNING THIS DEPARTMENT. AND GLAD THAT YOU CAME AND JOINED AND CONTINUE TO MAKE BAY COUNTY PROUD. SO THANK YOU, TAMMY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I'M GLAD TO BE HERE. THANK YOU. GOOD DEAL. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. SO IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM. ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE, WE'LL CLOSE THE FLOOR AND HAND IT OVER TO THE BOARD.

          ALL RIGHT. MR. PORTER. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. AGAIN ON AUGUST 20TH, THE BAY COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION CONDUCTED A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER REQUEST TO CHANGE THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION OF APPROXIMATELY 1.2 ACRES FROM THE FROM RESIDENTIAL TO GENERAL COMMERCIAL, AND TO CHANGE THE ZONING DESIGNATION OF THE PROPERTY FROM R1 TO C3. GENERAL COMMERCIAL. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN 1918 COLLEY AVENUE IN THE UNINCORPORATED PANAMA CITY BEACH AREA. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING, THE PLANNING COMMISSION VOTED TO FIND THE PROPOSED LAND USE AND ZONE CHANGES CONSISTENT WITH THE BAY COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON COLLEY AVENUE AND A CORRIDOR WHERE THE PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE AND ZONING CURRENTLY EXIST. THERE ARE EXISTING C-3 LAND USE AND ZONING DESIGNATIONS LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. COLLEY AVENUE RUNS BETWEEN PANAMA CITY BEACH PARKWAY AND FRONT BEACH ROAD, WHICH ARE BOTH CLASSIFIED AS ARTERIAL ROADS, AND THE TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND THE PROPERTY MEETS ALL THE BULK REGULATIONS SPECIFIED IN LDR TABLE 6.1. STAFF AGREES WITH PLANNING COMMISSION AND RECOMMENDS THE BOARD CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING, APPROVE THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS, AND ADOPT THE ATTACHED ORDINANCES. WE DID RECEIVE SOME PUBLIC COMMENT IN REGARD TO THIS, THAT WAS AN OBJECTION TO THE REQUEST BEING APPROVED, MANY OF THOSE CONCERNS DEALT WITH CONCERNS OF INCREASED TRAFFIC AND NOISE IN THE AREA. 
          HERE TO ANSWER ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, MAY HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? DWAYNE? NO. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. SIR, IS THE APPLICANT HERE? THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE? YES, SIR. GET YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE. HI. DAVID SMITH, 8514 LAIRD STREET, PANAMA CITY BEACH, I'M JUST REZONING THE PROPERTY TO BE, WITH THE REST OF MY PROPERTY THAT I ALREADY OWN THAT SURROUNDS IT. THAT'S COMMERCIAL, I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY PLANS FOR THE PROPERTY MOVING FORWARD AT THE MOMENT. JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT ALL CONTIGUOUS WITH THE REST OF THE WHOLE AREA THAT IS C3 COMMERCIAL. THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? OWNER NOPE. OKAY. THERE IS A I WILL I WILL MENTION THERE IS A LOT OF TRAFFIC ON COLLEGE AVENUE. THERE IS A LOT OF NOISE AND FROM THAT TRAFFIC GOING THROUGH THERE, SINCE I BOUGHT THAT PROPERTY IN I THINK 14, WHEN I BOUGHT THE ORIGINAL PIECES, THE TRAFFIC THERE IS JUST HAS GROWN EXPONENTIALLY. LIKE I'M ASSUMING THE REST OF THE BEACH HAS AS WELL. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. ALL RIGHT. ANYBODY ELSE LIKE? YES, MA'AM. PLEASE, NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. OH PAULINE SULLIVAN, 1723 ANNABELLA'S DRIVE. ON BEHALF OF ANNABELLA'S TOWNHOMES, INC. I'M THE PRESIDENT. OTHER BOARD MEMBERS COULD NOT MAKE IT TODAY, UNFORTUNATELY, WE BROUGHT 
          [00:40:05]
UP OBJECTIONS BECAUSE WE ARE, ADJACENT TO THE COLLEY AVENUE AND THE NOISE CURRENTLY, SPEEDWAY LLC HAS A BUSINESS WHERE THEY'RE DROPPING TRUCKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, WAKING UP OUR RESIDENTS, AND THAT IS A CONCERN TO US. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE FACT THAT WE WENT FROM RESIDENTIAL TO C THREE GIVES A GREAT DEAL OF LEEWAY WITH WHICH THE PROPERTY CAN BE DEVELOPED. AND THE CONCERN IS THAT WE MAY NOT HAVE A COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS WHO ARE THOUGHTFUL AND COMPREHENSIVE, AS YOU ARE IN THE FUTURE, AND WE COULD WIND UP WITH A BUSINESS THAT IS, YOU KNOW, 24 OVER SEVEN, YOU KNOW, LOOKS LIKE LAS VEGAS. AND, WHAT IS INHERENTLY IMPORTANT TO OUR PROPERTY RIGHT NOW IS THE ISSUE OF LIABILITY AND INSURANCE. AND GIVEN THAT WE ARE THE PUBLIC NOTICE WAS ONLY TWO WEEKS, WE COULD ONLY GET ABOUT 39 SIGNATURES OPPOSING THE DEVELOPMENT. WE NEED MORE TIME GOING FORWARD BEFORE ANY DEVELOPMENT CAN TAKE PLACE, TO SEE HOW IT'S GOING TO IMPACT THE LIABILITY INSURANCE ON A $34 MILLION PROPERTY, WHICH IS NOT CHUMP CHANGE. SO THIS IS A CONCERN TO US. I MEAN, YES, WE ARE HOMEOWNERS, BUT YES, WE ARE A PROPERTY THAT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED AND WE NEED TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND TRAFFIC IMPACT IS GOING TO BE ON OUR PROPERTY. SO FOR THAT REASON, I WOULD ASK THAT YOU GIVE MORE THOUGHT TO THIS ONE. AND IF IT HAS TO GO FOR THE REASON OF SELLING THE PROPERTY OR SOMETHING, GO CONSERVATIVELY AND GIVE IT A C ONE, ZONING CHANGE RATHER THAN GIVING IT THE WHOLE HOG. AND THAT'S MY COMMENT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. WE'LL CLOSE THE FLOOR, WELL, IS THERE ANYTHING. WOULD YOU LIKE A REBUTTAL TO THAT? YOU CAN HAVE IT IF YOU WANT. IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO. YOU DON'T HAVE TO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO. RATHER, YOU DON'T HAVE TO. OKAY PLEASE GIVE THE OWNERS TWO. WHACK AT THE APPLE. YEAH, SO, LIKE I SAID, AT THE MOMENT, I SAY AT THE MOMENT I HAVE NO PLANS FOR THE FUTURE OF DEVELOPING THIS. AS FAR AS HER TALKING ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT, PART OF HER FUTURE USE OR WHATEVER IMPACTING THEIR PROPERTY. I'M JUST REZONING IT TO MAKE IT COHESIVE WITH THE REST OF THE PROPERTY THAT'S ALREADY THERE. THAT'S ALREADY ZONED C-3. IT'S BASICALLY VACANT PROPERTY AT THE MOMENT. THERE IS ONE STORAGE BUILDING ON ON THE PROPERTY AND IT'S JUST SIMPLY USED FOR STORAGE. SO I'M NOT REALLY SURE HOW THAT IMPACTS ANNABELLA'S, I'M ON CALLIE. 
          THERE IS PROPERTY BETWEEN I'M ON THIS SIDE OF CALLIE THERE ON THAT SIDE, BUT THERE'S PROPERTY BETWEEN US AND ANNABELLA'S AS WELL. SO, I GUESS I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT POINT. SO OKAY. 
          QUESTION. YES. OKAY. CAN YOU TALK TO US ABOUT THE BUSINESS AROUND THERE? THE SO SPEED GROUP IS THE LLC THAT IS THAT I REPRESENTED THAT OWNS THE PROPERTY. THERE IS A BUSINESS SMITH MOTOR WORKS THERE THAT THAT IS OPEN 8 TO 5 MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. THAT IS AUTOMOTIVE BUSINESS. THE THERE IS NO TRUCKS BEING DROPPED 24 OVER SEVEN, THERE'S NOT IT'S ONLY OPEN 8 TO 5 MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. THERE IS A IN THE VERY, VERY FURTHEST POINT BACK, WHICH BASICALLY IS, BACKS UP TO IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP, THE VERY FURTHEST POINT THAT BACKS UP BEHIND TODD HERNDON'S PROPERTY, THERE IS SOME STORAGE BACK THERE THAT THEY COMING IN AND OUT OF, BUT THEY COME DOWN COLLIE AVENUE AND GO ALL THE WAY TO THE VERY BACK AND DROP OFF TRAILERS. AND THAT'S NOT EVEN 24 OVER SEVEN. SO BUT THAT'S THE ONLY PROPERTY. THAT'S THE ONLY BUSINESS ON THE PROPERTY. SO AND IT'S AGAIN SMITH MOTOR WORKS ON THE VERY CORNER. THE VERY FRONT CORNER ON COLLIE IS OPEN 8 TO 5 MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. SO THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS. THERE'S AN RV BUSINESS ACROSS THE WAY FROM YOU. YEAH. THERE'S ACROSS THE STREET FROM US. THERE IS A CHURCH AND THERE'S A VACANT HOUSE. AND THEN THERE'S THE BIG RED SECTION THERE ON PANAMA CITY BEACH PARKWAY IS AN RV REPAIR PLACE. SALES AND RV PLACE. THERE'S A PAINT STORE THERE. 
          THERE'S A SIGN SHOP. AND I BELIEVE THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS THAT IS TECHNICALLY ADJACENT TO ANNABELLA'S. WE ARE NOT ADJACENT TO WE'RE ADJACENT TO COLLEY AVENUE, BUT NOT TO ANNABELLA'S. THERE IS PROPERTY BETWEEN US AND THEM. SO. SO THERE IS, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE MAP, EVERYTHING ELSE AROUND THE PROPERTY IS RED. IT'S ALL COMMERCIAL ALREADY FROM THERE TO THE BRIDGE. SO NO. OKAY. OKAY THANK YOU. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. 
          WE'LL CLOSE THE FLOOR NOW, AND WE'LL HAND IT OVER TO THE BOARD. IF ANY OTHER COMMENTS, OR I'D 
          [00:45:05]
LIKE TO COMMENT, IF YOU DON'T MIND, MR. CHAIRMAN. YES, SIR. I MEAN, I WOULD AGREE THAT EVERYTHING IN THIS AREA IS COMMERCIAL. I UNDERSTAND THAT ANNABELLA'S, YOU KNOW, POTENTIAL. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN THERE. HOWEVER, WE'VE GOT A LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE THAT PROTECTS THAT. WE'VE GOT BUFFERING, AND ANNABELLA'S DOES NOT CONNECT TO ANY OF THESE STREETS, SO THEIR TRAFFIC, THIS WOULD NOT INTERFERE IN THAT. AND MOST OF THE BUSINESSES IN THIS AREA, THEIR WAREHOUSES, THEIR LOW TRAFFIC, BUT NO TELLING WHAT COULD GO THERE. THIS IS NOT AN IDEAL PLACE FOR A CONVENIENCE STORE OR A BANK OR SOMETHING THAT WOULD GENERATE A LOT OF TRAFFIC. SO I DON'T SEE ANY OBJECTION TO HAVING IT COMMERCIAL. EVERYTHING ELSE AROUND IT IS COMMERCIAL. SO THIS THIS MAY HAVE BEEN A RESIDENTIAL AREA 20 YEARS AGO, BUT BUT IT IS DEFINITELY NOT NOW, ESPECIALLY WITH THE SPORTS COMPLEX TO THE NORTH. I KNOW THIS HAS BECOME A CUT THROUGH AREA TO GET OUT OF THE COMPLEX, SO I DON'T SEE ANY OBJECTIONS. YEAH, I AGREE THERE DEFINITELY IS ENGULFED WITH, SEE THROUGH ALL THE WAY AROUND IT AND I THINK IT WOULD PROBABLY CREATE SPOT ZONING IF YOU DIDN'T CHANGE IT, TO HAVE A ONE ONE, YOU KNOW, THESE PARCEL HERE AS RESIDENTIAL AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS COMMERCIAL. DEFINITELY. IT'S I DON'T SEE AN ISSUE WITH IT EITHER. ANYBODY ELSE? NOPE. NO. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL HAND IT OVER TO THE BOARD FOR A MOTION. 
          MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. 
          COMMISSIONER DOZIER. YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER MOORE. YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER CARROLL. YES, MA'AM. CHAIRMAN. HAM. YES, MA'A, NEXT WE GO INTO NUMBER 19. PL LDR 2024 173, AN LDR CHAPTER 29 AMENDMENTS. FUN STUFF HERE. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. ON AUGUST 20TH, 2024, THE BAY COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION CONDUCTED A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER REQUESTS FROM STAFF TO REVISE CHAPTER 29 SUBDIVISIONS OF THE BAY COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THAT PUBLIC HEARING, THE PLANNING COMMISSION VOTED TO RECOMMEND THE TEXT AMENDMENTS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. THE REVISIONS. CHAPTER 29 INCLUDES LANGUAGE THAT PROVIDES COMPLIANCE WITH NEW STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS REGARDING CONSTRUCTION OF NEW SUBDIVISIONS DURING DIFFERENT PHASES OF PLAT APPROVAL AND ADOPTION. STAFF AGREES. THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDS THE BOARD CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING, APPROVE THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS, AND ADOPT THE ATTACHED ORDINANCE. ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR WAYNE? NO. NO. I THINK THIS THIS LANGUAGE IS GREAT. THIS IS GOING TO ALLOW THE DEVELOPERS OUT THERE TO BETTER BONDING THESE SUBDIVISIONS TO HELP RECOUP WHAT? THEY DON'T HAVE TO KEEP THAT BOND OPEN THE WHOLE TIME DURING CONSTRUCTION. SO I THINK THIS IS GREAT. WE THANK YOU FOR STAFF AND THANK YOU FOR THE LEGAL SIDE FOR THE LANGUAGE. SO OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THIS, ANYBODY ELSE? I AGREE. IT'S A GOOD MOVE. 
          IT'S ACTUALLY, YEAH. YEAH, I THINK SO. OKAY. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYBODY THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITE? NO. OKAY. SEEING NONE, WE'LL CLOSE THE FLOOR AND WE'LL HAND THIS ONE BACK OVER TO THE BOARD AS WELL. MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND. MOTION AND A SECOND. 
          PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. COMMISSIONER CARROLL. YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER MOORE. YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER DOZIER. YES, MA'AM. CHAIRMAN. HAM. YES MA'AM. ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP MOVES US INTO 
          [PUBLIC COMMENT (Open to any issue)]
PUBLIC COMMENT. AT THIS POINT, THE FLOOR WILL BE OPEN FOR ANY, ITEM OPEN TO BAY COUNTY. WHETHER YOU THINK WE HAVE JURISDICTION OVER IT OR NOT, YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO COME DOWN AND SPEAK. 
          ANYBODY? YES, SIR. GET YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE, SIR. 
          GOOD MORNING. GARRISON KRAEMER, 1712 CONNECTICUT AVENUE, LYNN HAVEN, FLORIDA, TO START THE PROCESS BY WHICH I GIVE MY ADDRESS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SPEECH IS A TELLING SIGN OF HOW LITTLE PRIVACY IS VALUED AS WELL AS SAFETY. NONE OF YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE YOUR HOME ADDRESS BECAUSE YOUR POLITICIANS AND YOU GOT IMPORTANT THINGS TO SPEAK ABOUT, AND THAT RISK YOUR LIFE. 
          BUT THAT'S OKAY. WE'LL LET ME DO THAT. THE PROPERTY TAX SYSTEM IS DISGUSTING. THAT IS JUST SO UN-AMERICAN. AND IMPERIAL. IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY. THE FACT THAT YOU ALLOW PEOPLE TO WALK ON YOUR PROPERTY AT ANY TIME, AND THEN THAT'S WHAT PAYS FOR THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. AND OF COURSE, GOOD LUCK 
          [00:50:04]
RETIRING WITH INFLATION AND THE PROPERTY TAX ALWAYS CONTINUALLY RISING, EVEN IF YOU KEEP THE MILLAGE RATE LOW, THE OTHER THINGS AROUND IT, ESPECIALLY UTILITIES, ARE CONSTANTLY RISIN. 
          NOW IT LOOKS LIKE I'M PROBABLY MOST COMPETENT TO BE THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA. UNFORTUNATELY, POLITICALLY SPEAKING, I CAN'T EVEN GET MY PARENTS TO GET ON MY SIDE. SO IT'S KIND OF DIFFICULT, BUT CERTAIN ISSUES THAT ARE GOING TO BANKRUPT THE COUNTY, RAPE BY FRAUD, DOMESTIC RAPE, PATERNITY FRAUD, DOMESTIC KIDNAPING, THESE ARE RAMPANT CRIMES IN THIS COMMUNITY. THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM HAS FAILED HORRIFICALLY. YOU GUYS ARREST THE VICTIMS ALL THE TIME. ALL THE TIME. I'VE GOT A LOT OF SERIOUS ARRESTS THAT NEED TO BE MADE IN THIS COUNTY, THE BP EMBEZZLEMENT. YOU GUYS ARE ALSO EMBEZZLING AROUND THE LIFE MANAGEMENT. IT'S VERY CLEAR THERE'S AN EMBEZZLEMENT AROUND GASOLINE AND TELECOMMUNICATION. 
          I THINK I'M BEING PRETTY GOOD. AS CIVIL AS I'M BEING RIGHT NOW. YOU CAN BE DENIED A TRIAL IN THE 14TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT FOR HAVING TOO MANY PRODUCTIVE THOUGHTS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS KNOW THI, BUT I SUFFER FROM TOO MUCH PRODUCTIVE THOUGHTS. REASONS TO NOT HAVE A TRIAL. I CAME HERE TEN YEARS AGO, TOLD YOU I NEEDED TO SPEAK ABOUT SOME THINGS, BUT OBVIOUSLY YOU WERE GOING TO BLOCK MY TRIAL. TRIED CONTACTING THE FBI BEFORE I WAS ATTACKED. AS YOU GUYS CAN CLEARLY SEE, I'M HOLDING MY HANDS UP. NO REASON TO USE LETHAL FORCE. CONFLICT OF INTERESTS HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED WITH MY LAWYER AND NOT RELAYED TO THE JUDGE. THAT IS A MISTRIAL AS WELL AS MANY LICENSES THAT ARE ABOUT TO BE PULLED. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? OKAY. NO. 
          ALL RIGHT. WE'LL CLOSE THE FLOO. GO INTO COUNTY ATTORNEY'S REPORT. NO REPORT, MR. CHAIRMAN. 
          [CHAIRMAN & COMMISSIONER COMMENTS]
OKAY. COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT. NOTHING FROM STAFF, MR. CHAIRMAN. ALL RIGHT. 
          COMMISSIONER COMMENTS, THIS WILL START WITH COMMISSIONER CARROLL, SIR. JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS. 
          ONE, I WOULD LIKE TO, THANK THE OWNER OF SLEEP CENTER, RICHARD BRENNAN. HE, HE RECENTLY DONATED 19 MATTRESSES TO THE BAY COUNTY EMS. HE HAS GIVEN IT TO A BUNCH OF THE FIRE STATIONS AROUND TOWN. AND, THAT'S HUGE. JUST OUT OF HIS. GOOD, GOOD KINDNESS. AND WILL. HE DONATED THOSE MATTRESSES, TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR EMS PERSONNEL GET A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP. SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THAT. THAT GESTURE AND KINDNESS FROM HIS HEART, I WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT WE HAVE OUR FINAL BUDGET HEARING TONIGHT AT 501. AND I ALSO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO PANAMA CITY BEACH. THEY PASSED, SOME MODIFICATIONS TO THE CRA THAT WILL BE LOOKING AT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. SO JUST WANT TO THANK THEM FOR THAT. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE. ALL RIGHT. 
          COMMISSIONER MOORE. YES, SIR, TO GO ALONG WITH WHAT TAMMY WAS MENTIONING ABOUT HOUSING. 
          RECENTLY ATTENDED THE HOUSING CONFERENCE FOR THE STATE OF FLORIDA. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, I HAD MENTIONED THIS BEFORE, BUT I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO START LOOKING INTO THIS WITH STAFF AND GETTING TO SOME ONE ON ONES AND JUST BEING ABLE TO LOOK AT, THERE HAVE BEEN SOME VARIOUS COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE THAT HAVE HAD APPROACHED DIFFERENT OPTIONS AND DIFFERENT WAYS OF TRYING TO ATTACK AFFORDABLE HOUSING. ONE OF THE ONES IS AFFORDABLE OR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS. EXCUSE ME, BUT ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS, AND JUST I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO LOOK AT WHAT THOSE STRATEGIES ARE OUT THERE AND TO SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND OUT AND WHAT AVENUES MIGHT WORK FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND BE ABLE TO ASSIST. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I FOUND INTERESTING ABOUT THE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS IS FOR OLDER INDIVIDUALS. 
          IT IT IS A WAY FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO AGE IN PLACE, BUT THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO HAVE IF THEY'VE GOT AN APARTMENT OVER THEIR GARAGE OR DIFFERENT THINGS. AND THERE ARE A LOT OF OLDER HOMES IN THIS AREA THAT HAVE THAT WITH HAVING AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT, THEY CAN RENT THAT OUT OR DO DIFFERENT THINGS. IT GIVES THEM INCOME. I WOULD LIKE IT. LET'S AT LEAST LOOK AT THESE THINGS AND SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE, ONE OTHER THING, AND APOLOGIES, BOB. I'M DROPPING IT IN YOUR LAP AND DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT BEFORE, BUT I KNOW OVER THE WEEKEND WE HAD SOME THINGS HAPPEN WITH UTILITIES BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND THE CITY OF CALLAWAY AND JUST CHECKING. I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO LOOK AT WORKING WITH THE OTHER CITIES AND BEING A LITTLE BIT MORE PROACTIVE IN TRYING TO COME UP TO INTERLOCAL SO THEY KNOW, LIKE, WE COULD HAVE TESTED THE WATER AND US REACH OUT AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT THOSE THINGS ARE DONE. AND SO, WE WORK TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE PROACTIVE AND BEING THE PARTNERSHIP BECAUSE AS I KNOW, ALL OF US UP HERE SAY TO THE CITIZENS, ALL THE TIME, YOU 
          [00:55:06]
MIGHT LIVE IN THE CITY OF CALLAWAY, BUT YOU'RE ALSO A CITIZEN OF BAY COUNTY. SO, I KNOW OUR STAFF IS MORE THAN HAPPY AND WILLING TO WORK ON THAT, BUT IF WE COULD KIND OF PUT THOSE THINGS IN PLACE TO TRY TO AVOID ANY INCONVENIENCE FOR THE CITIZENS, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. AND THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT. THANK YOU. OKAY. COMMISSIONER DOZIER, A COUPLE THINGS, I WANTED TO. PARKS AND RECREATION HAS BEEN WORKING VERY HARD ON A, AT THE INTERSECTION OF, ECONFINA CREEK AND 388 TO PUT A TAKEOUT AREA IN FOR CANOES AND KAYAKS. THEY HAVE, THEY'RE THEY'RE NEARING THE END OF THAT PROJECT. THEY'VE GOT ASPHALT DOWN AND THE WALKWAY UP. AND I WENT OUT THERE THE OTHER DAY AND LOOKED AT IT. IT'S A IT'S A GREAT PROJECT. IT'S DESIGNED TO FOR SAFETY, TO HELP PEOPLE AS THEY IN THEIR CANOE TRIP TO UNLOAD AND TO LEAVE THE AREA IN A VERY SAFE MANNER. THAT'S WHAT IT'S DESIGNED FOR. AND I BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO ACCOMPLISH THAT, OUR FEAR HAS BEEN IN THE PAST, PEOPLE CONGREGATING IN THAT AREA AND, AND WITH THE FAST TRAFFIC COMING THROUGH THERE, YOU KNOW, KIDS BEING VULNERABLE. AND SO WE WANTED TO TAKE A STEP TO, TO MAKE IT SAFER. THERE AND IT'S DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE TO LIKE I SAID, LEAVE, LEAVE THE AREA AFTER THE CANOE TRIP. AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE VERY SUCCESSFUL, PARKS AND REC HAS DONE A GREAT JOB HANDLING THIS AND PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER, AND MY HAT'S OFF TO THEM FOR DOING SUCH A GOOD JOB ON IT, THE OLD PATHS ARE STILL WORKING ON THAT. HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS FROM PEOPLE AROUND TOWN, ABOUT THE OLD PATHS AND JUST I'M JUST BRINGING IT UP TO LET YOU KNOW WE'RE STILL PUSHING FORWARD ON IT. WE'RE STILL WORKING ON IT. I WILL HAVE SOME MORE DETAILED INFORMATION, IN THE COMING MEETINGS AND, AND THEN I'LL BE ABLE TO PUT OUT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT IT. AND, WE HAD AN ITEM ON OUR AGENDA, AND I'M GLAD TAMMY'S STILL HERE. I DON'T KNOW IF SHE WANTS TO SPEAK TO THIS OR NOT, BUT, DISCOUNT CARDS, WE HAVE, WE HAVE DISCOUNT CARDS AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE. PRESCRIPTION DISCOUNT CARDS UP TO 20%, FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE UNDERINSURED, ARE NOT ASSURED, NOT HAVE NO INSURANCE OR UNDERINSURED. AND UP TO 20% IS A GREAT PROGRAM, BAY COUNTY HAS. TAMMY HARRIS IS HEADING IT UP AND TAMMY, I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU HAD ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY ABOUT IT OR DID I COVER ENOUGH OF IT FOR YOU? I THINK YOU COVERED YOU GOOD. 
          OKAY, JUST WANT TO PROMOTE IT BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE PROGRAM. IT IS. 
          IT IS A GOOD PROGRAM. AND PEOPLE IN OUR AREA SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. AND, THERE'S A LOT MORE TO IT THAN THAT. I JUST KIND OF TOUCHED ON THE SURFACE, BUT I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT TO LIGHT. THAT, SO JUST ANOTHER GOOD PROGRAM THAT OUR STAFF'S DOING AND, AND THAT THE COUNTY IS DOING AS WELL. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. OKAY ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD? YES, SI. 
          THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, WE WENT THROUGH LDR CHAPTER 29, THE AMENDMENTS. I APPRECIATE STAFF ON THAT. I'D LIKE TO I'D LIKE FOR US TO LOOK AT THE PUD PROCESS AND TIMELINES. I'VE HAD A COUPLE OF DEVELOPERS THAT JUST, INQUIRING ABOUT TIMELINES BECAUSE I KNOW PUDS HAVE AN EXPIRATION DATE, CONDITIONAL USE, HAVE EXPIRATION DATES, SEVERAL THINGS DO. AND JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY SUBMIT THE PUD PROCESS THAN THEY DO THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER PROCESS AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT THE PUD KIND OF RUNS WITH IT AND CAN IS IT POSSIBLE FOR IT TO GET EXTENSIONS TO GO ALONG WITH THE DO? THERE'S A HARD TIME RIGHT NOW GETTING SOME REGULATORY PERMITS FROM OTHER AGENCIES AND THEREFORE IT'S TAKING LONGER TO GET APPROVALS AND JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PUD CAN BE EXTENDED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT, BECAUSE THEY DO GO HAND IN HAND, AND IT MAY ALREADY BE POSSIBLE TO DO IT NOW. BUT WAYNE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN ADDRESS THAT. SO IF THERE IS AN APPROVED DEVELOPMENT ORDER THAT CAME ALONG AFTER A PUD WAS APPROVED, AS LONG AS THAT DEVELOPMENT ORDER IS ACTIVE, THE PUD IS ACTIVE, IT CAN GET EXTENDED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT CORRECT AT THE SAME TIME. CORRECT? YES. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR. 
          OKAY. BUT IF THEY DON'T HAVE A DEVELOPMENT ORDER THAT PUD, IT WILL RUN WITH IT THOUGH, RIGHT? ONCE YOU GET THE PUD FIRST, THEN YOU GET THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER. SO THAT PUD HAS GOT THAT YEAR. 
          BUT THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER, IF IT LAGS. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT. SO YEAH, AS LONG AS THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER IS ACTIVE AND THERE ARE EXTENSION ALLOWANCES FOR DEVELOPMENT ORDERS, YOU HAVE TO REQUEST BOTH THE, YOU KNOW, JUST JUST THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER, THE EXTENSION, THE PUD WILL EXTEND WITH THAT. HOW MANY EXTENSIONS ARE AVAILABLE? THE LDR ALLOWS, BASICALLY FOR SIX MONTH EXTENSIONS. OKAY. SO A DEVELOPMENT ORDER IS GOOD FOR ONE YEAR, AND THAT'S IF NO 
          [01:00:03]
DEVELOPMENT HAS OCCURRED IN ONE YEAR. THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER WILL EXPIRE. THE DEVELOPER CAN REQUEST AN EXTENSION TO THAT DEVELOPMENT ORDER FOR SIX MONTHS. AND THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT, FOUR TIMES. SO TWO YEARS WORTH OF EXTENSIONS. PERFECT. THE PUD GOES WITH IT. CORRECT? OKAY. THAT'S I THINK THEY MISUNDERSTOOD I APPRECIATE IT. 
          THANKS, MIKE. ANYBODY ELSE? NOPE. ALL RIGHT. BILL GOT MY DISCOUNT CARD. OH. GO AHEAD, YOU GOT ME ON. YOU GOT. I THINK THAT THAT'LL BE GOOD AS THIS ROLLS OUT, WE'LL CAN GET BACK IN TOUCH WITH MISS TAMMY'S OFFICE. THERE WILL BE PHARMACIES, YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY THAT ARE GOING TO EITHER TAKE DO THIS PROGRAM OR SOME OF THEM MAY SOME OF THEM MIGHT DO IT, SOME OF THEM MIGHT NOT. BUT WE'LL END UP GENERATING A LIST OF WHERE THESE THINGS ARE WILL BE AVAILABLE. SO YES, I THINK IT'S A VERY GOOD THING TO SEE THIS COME BACK AROUND. AND ROBERT MENTIONED THE CRA. YES I'M INCREDIBLY GRATEFUT THE BEACH IS, TOOK THE STEP TO APPROVE THIS LANGUAGE THAT IS YET TO COME BEFORE US, BUT IT'S A IT'S A HUMONGOUS, HUMONGOUS STEP FORWARD, FOR THE FUTURE OF BAY COUNTY, FOR US TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS, I LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING THAT COME BEFORE US. WITH THAT, I HAVE NOTHING ELSE. SO MEETING IS ADJOURNED. ALL R
