THEY'VE DONE A LOT OF INTERESTING THINGS LIKE, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT WHAT TYPES OF VEHICLES THEY USE AND REDUCING THE SIZE BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKED SMALLER VEHICLES. IT ALSO SAVES MONEY TO THE SYSTEM. WHEN YOU USE SMALLER VEHICLES. THEY'VE CREATED NEW FLEX PROGRAMS OR MICRO TRANSIT PROGRAMS IN THE MONTH OF MARCH, WHICH IS NOW INDIVIDUALS CAN GET FREE RIDES TO TAX SERVICES TO HELP GET THEIR TAX FILED.

AND THEN IN THE EARLY 70S, THEY RENAMED IT TO ELVIS PRESLEY BOULEVARD. BOY, I LOVE THAT. GROWING UP ON MY STREET, I GREW UP ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE NAACP IN MEMPHIS, REVEREND SAM KYLES, AND HE WAS BEST FRIENDS WITH MARTIN LUTHER KING. EVERY TIME I GO DOWN MLK BOULEVARD, I THINK ABOUT HIM AND SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE. PHILLIP GRIFFITHS, YOU KNOW THAT WE'VE HONORED HIM WITH THE NAME CHANGE OR WITH NAMING THE STREET ON THE BEACH.

AND I WOULD ASK. FORGIVE ME. ONE SECOND, ONE SECOND. THE LAST ITEM WAS ACTUALLY A PUBLIC HEARING, AND I DID NOT OPEN THE FLOOR FOR ANYBODY TO COMMENT ON THE GULF. SO IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AS IT RELATES TO THE RENAMING OF THE GULF, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COME FORWARD NOW.

SO GIVE ME ONE SECOND, MA'AM, I APOLOGIZE. OR YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE GULF HERE? OKAY, I'M ALL FOR THE GULF. OKAY. SIR, YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THE GULF OR. OKAY. SO. ALL RIGHT, SO NO ONE'S TAKING THE GULF. SO EVEN WITH MY ERROR. THANK YOU FOR CORRECTING ME ON THAT, SHERRY. NO ONE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT THE GULF, BUT WE GOT A LOT OF OTHER FOLKS THAT WANT TO TALK. SO WITH THAT, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. YES, I'M NANCY VALLEJO, 117 SECLUSION DRIVE, PANAMA CITY BEACH. HERE TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE FLUORIDE IN OUR WATER. I KNOW THERE'S BEEN CONVERSATION FROM THE BEACH AND THE STATE AND THIS BOARD, AND I'M HOPING THAT YOU ALL CONSIDER SERIOUSLY, CONSIDER TAKING THE FLUORIDE OUT OF OUR WATER. I KNOW AT THE BEACH WE BUY THE WATER FROM YOU, AND WE WOULD REALLY I MEAN, THIS CAUSES SO MUCH PROBLEM IN THE WATER IT HAS AND IT'S MAINLY ON SMALL CHILDREN. BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN FULLY, YOU KNOW, DEVELOPED AND THEY'RE DRINKING THIS AND IT IS VERY TOXIC. I JUST AM VERY ADAMANT ABOUT WE ARE ONE OF THE ONLY COUNTIES LEFT OR OUT OF A FEW THAT HAVE NOT DONE THIS YET, AND I'M HOPING THAT YOU APPROVE IT AND GET THIS OUT OF OUR WATER. AND, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THE BISHOP HAS TALKED TO. MR. MOJICA

[00:25:07]

GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS RONALD OWENS. I AM THE LANDLORD OF THE PROPERTY THAT BRIAN RENTS. I KNOW IN THE ORDINANCE IT STATED THAT IT HAD TO BE A CERTAIN DISTANCE FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

WELL, NONE OF US HAVE WINGS AS THE CROW FLIES. AND TO GET TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU HAVE TO COME OUT OF THE DOOR. YOU HAVE TO GO UP TO THE ROAD, DOWN THE SIDEWALK, TURN AND GO INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IT'S PROBABLY WELL OVER 1000 FOOT TO GET THERE. THERE IS A SIX FOOT PRIVACY FENCE BETWEEN MY PROPERTY AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE ONLY THING I SEE IN HERE THAT HAS WINGS IS

[00:30:02]

IT HAS A PRESIDENT AND A BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THEY DECIDE HOW IT IS OPERATED BASED ON VARIOUS GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED BY THE STATE. THE BOARD CAN CHOOSE TO BE TRANSPARENT OR CLOSED TO PUBLIC EXAMINATION. BEACH CHOOSES TO BE CLOSED. THE PUBLIC IS NOT GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND, OR VIEW MINUTES OF BOARD MEETINGS, OR TO OFFER INPUT INTO THE OPERATIONS, AND I FIND THIS VERY TROUBLING. BY LAW, THE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE AT LEAST THE LAST THREE YEARS OF IRS IRS TAX FILINGS. CURRENTLY, THE LAST YEAR POSTED IS 22. AT THAT TIME, FORM 990 REPORTS NET ASSETS $1,424,441. AS OF JULY, PER THE LAST OF LAST YEAR, SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, WORK HAS BEEN PROCEEDING TO REOPEN THE FACILITY AT 1600 BAY. NOVEMBER 19TH. A BID PROPOSAL REQUEST HAS BEEN SENT OUT. THE BOARD MEETING WILL BE HELD IN EARLY JANUARY TO REVIEW ALL SUBMITTED BIDS. IT IS NOW MARCH 25TH. NO ADDITIONAL ANNOUNCEMENTS HAVE BEEN POSTED, CITY PERMITTING SHOWS NO APPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN APPLIED FOR, AND A RECENT CHECK AT THE PROPERTY. SO SHOW NO SIGNS OF CHANGE. THE 2023 IRS TAX FILING REMAINS UNPUBLISHED, SO THERE CAN BE NO PUBLIC OVERSIGHT. AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY. MY CONCERNS ARE NUMEROUS. OUR COUNTY HAS SERIOUS ANIMAL WELFARE ISSUES, AS WE ALL ARE AWARE. WE HAVE A TAX SUPPORTED ANIMAL CONTROL KILL SHELTER OPERATIONS, BAY BAY PROVIDING FANTASTIC SERVICES FOR THE COMMUNITY. A FEW ESTABLISHED, PRIVATELY OPERATED ANIMAL RESCUES SURVIVE ON PUBLIC DONATIONS, GRANTS AND VOLUNTEERS AND PEOPLE LIKE ME USING PRIVATE FUNDS FOR HELPING RESIDENTS. A QUICK INTERNET CHECK OF OTHER HUMANE SOCIETIES. WHAT OTHER HUMANE SOCIETIES PROVIDE IS EXTENSIVE. BC PROVIDES COMPARATIVELY NOTHING, YET THE MISSION IS TO AID THE PUBLIC, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS A PUBLICLY OWNED ENTITY. IT IS PAST TIME FOR THEM TO STEP UP AND FULFILL THE MISSION. IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT, REVIEW THE WEBSITE. CONTACT THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD MEMBERS. ASK QUESTIONS. GET ANSWERS. IF YOU ARE HELPING ME, PLEASE HELP RAISE AWARENESS THAT WE DO HAVE A HUMANE SOCIETY, THAT WE EXPECT MORE FROM THIS PUBLICLY OWNED ENTITY AND WE CAN DO BETTER. AND WE SHOULD. I'M LOOKING FOR PRO BONO ASSISTANCE FROM AN ATTORNEY AND CPA. IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO HELP ME OR SEEK OR SPEAK TO THEIR CIVIC GROUP, YOU CAN REACH ME AT APRIL WOMACK MAC, 48, AT YAHOO.COM. THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANYONE ELSE? ALL RIGHT.

[00:35:11]

YOU'RE GOING TO SHAPE IT UP THERE, MAN. ALL RIGHT. COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT. NOTHING

[CHAIRMAN & COMMISSIONER COMMENTS]

START WITH YOU. HI, RON. I HAVE RECEIVED A COUPLE OF EMAILS AND I WANTED TO CLARIFY A FEW THINGS TO BEGIN WITH. THE IT IS REALLY NOT UP TO US THAT THE GULF AMERICA HAS BEEN HAD HAD A NAME CHANGE FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO. THAT WAS AN EXECUTIVE ORDER BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO CHANGE IT TO THE GULF OF AMERICA. THE NEXT THING IS, I DID A TOUR OF MIDNIGHT PASS IN SARASOTA WITH DOCTOR DAVE TOMASKO PUBLIC WORKS, SPENCER ANDERSON, COMMISSIONER AND CAPTAIN CHAIRMAN OVER THE WEEKEND. AND IT WAS IT WAS PRETTY ENLIGHTENING. I'VE GOT SOME BEAUTIFUL PICTURES. I WANT TO DO A PRESENTATION FOR THE COMMISSION AND SHOW THEM WHAT I SAW WHEN I WAS DOWN THERE. THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THEIR PASS OPEN FOR ALMOST TEN YEARS, AND WERE UNABLE TO DO SO. AND THE LAST STORM THAT THEY HAD THERE OPENED IT UP, AND IT HAS MADE SOME UNBELIEVABLE CHANGES IN THEIR BAY. AND SO I WANT TO BRING THOSE UP AND HAVE SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT WHERE WE STAND WITH WE'VE WE'VE SUBMITTED OUR OUR APPLICATION TO OPEN OUR BAY.

AND I WANT TO TRY TO TAKE SOME STEPS THAT WILL MAYBE SPEED UP THE PROCESS A LITTLE BIT. SO WE ARE NOT STANDING HERE OR SITTING HERE. I WON'T BE BUT SITTING HERE TEN YEARS FROM NOW, STILL TALKING ABOUT GETTING THIS PASS OPEN. SO I'LL BRING THOSE TO YOU AT A LATER MEETING. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I DID. I DID GO DOWN THERE AND HAVE THAT HAVE THAT TOUR. THEY WERE VERY PROUD OF THE MEASURES THAT THEY TOOK ON THEIR WATER TREATMENT PLANTS, THEIR UPGRADES IN HABITAT RESTORATION. WE TALKED ABOUT GOING FROM GETTING RID OF SOME SEPTIC TANKS, GOING TO SEWER AND DIRT ROADS AND WHAT PROBLEMS THEY CAUSE. AND SO IT WAS A VERY ENLIGHTENING TRIP.

NOW, IF I COULD TALK ABOUT THE NAVY BASE AND THE NAVY BOULEVARD CHANGE A LITTLE BIT. I HAD I WANT TO THANK THESE GENTLEMEN FOR SHOWING UP. AND I'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF CALLS AND A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WERE EXCITED ABOUT THIS NAME, NAME CHANGE. AND THEN WE HAD SOME THAT WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE COST OF CHANGING, CHANGING THE NAME TO NAVY BOULEVARD. SO THOMAS DRIVE ADDRESSES BELOW 4200 WILL BE RENAMED NAVY BOULEVARD. SOME 604 ADDRESSES ARE AFFECTED BY THE CHANGE. BAY COUNTY IS RETAINING THOMAS DRIVE AS AN ALTERNATE LEGAL NAME. AND WHAT THAT WHAT THAT MEANS IS THE. WHEN. I WANT TO THANK JOEL SCHUBERT VERY MUCH FOR CONTACTING ALL OF THE DIFFERENT FOLKS THAT LET US KNOW WHAT WHAT THE PROCESS, HOW THE PROCESS WAS GOING TO TAKE PLACE AND WHAT IT WAS GOING TO COST. AND I THINK HE FOUND THAT IF SOMEONE WANTED TO GO DOWN AND CHANGE THE NAME RIGHT NOW AT THE POST OFFICE, IT WAS $1.30, SOMEWHERE AROUND $1.30. BUT IT'S NOT IT'S NOT NECESSARY. WE ARE OF THE PROPERTY. OWNERS MAY UPDATE THEIR ADDRESSES WITH THE POST OFFICE AND UTILITY PROVIDERS AND OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS, BUT IT'S NOT MANDATORY AND IT'S NOT NECESSARY. SO THE POSTAL SERVICE WILL CONTINUE TO RECOGNIZE BOTH NAVY BOULEVARD AND THOMAS DRIVE. THE MAIL IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE DELIVERED WITHOUT ANY INTERRUPTION. PROPERTY OWNERS CAN UPDATE THEIR ADDRESS WITH THE POSTAL SERVICE IF THEY WANT TO. YOUR POLICE, FIRE, MEDICAL SERVICE HAVE ALL BEEN NOTIFIED AND THE CHANGE WILL THE CHANGES WILL RESPOND WITHOUT ANY INTERRUPTION IN THAT SERVICE WHATSOEVER. THE ROAD NAME CHANGE WILL WILL BE REFLECTED IN THE OFFICIAL COUNTY RECORDS AUTOMATICALLY. YOU CAN UPDATE YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE OR REGISTRATION INFORMATION IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO. AND AGAIN, IT'S NOT REQUIRED IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO DOWN AND DO THAT, YOU'RE CERTAINLY WELCOME. OR JUST WAIT UNTIL YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE EXPIRES AND THEN DO YOUR NAME CHANGE. THEN RESIDENTS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO ANY LEGAL REQUIREMENTS TO UPDATE A CHANGE IN THEIR ADDRESS, SUCH AS A CONDITION OF PROBATION OR OFFENDER STATUS. YOU NEED TO GO AHEAD AND CONTACT THE

[00:40:03]

BUILDING FACILITY HERE AT BAY COUNTY. AND THEY AND THEY CAN DO THOSE CHANGES FOR $4,500. NOW, THE LARGE OVERHEAD SIGNS, WE ARE SEEKING QUOTES TO GET THOSE COSTS. NOW BAY COUNTY IS NOTIFYING THE OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES OF THE CHANGE. IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME FOR IT TO CHANGE IN THE WIRELESS DEVICES, SUCH AS NAVIGATION PROVIDERS, GOOGLE, BING, THAT SORT OF THING. BUT THEY'LL THEY'LL THEY'LL COME FAST ENOUGH. YOUR UPS, FEDEX PACKAGES, NO PROBLEM. WE'LL BE DELIVERED JUST AS NORMAL. SO YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANY COST RELATING TO YOUR PERSONAL CHANGE OF ADDRESS, EXCEPT FOR THESE SIGNAGE COSTS, WHICH WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF HERE AT THE COUNTY LEVEL. THE NCAA EMPLOYS MORE THAN 4000 CIVILIAN AND MILITARY PERSONNEL, WITH AN ANNUAL PAYROLL OF MORE THAN $466 MILLION. THE NSAC SPENDS SOME $600 MILLION ANNUALLY IN CONTRACTS FOR LOCAL GOODS AND SERVICES. THEY MAINTAIN THEY OPERATE FACILITIES, PROVIDE DEFENSE, PHYSICAL SECURITY AND CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE THAT PROVIDES OPERATIONAL SUPPORT TO THE FLEET, FIGHTER AND FAMILY SUPPORT COMMANDERS. FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, I WANT TO THANK THEM SO MUCH FOR THEIR SERVICE, AND I THINK THAT THIS IS A SMALL THING THAT WE CAN DO TO HONOR THEM, AND I'M SO PLEASED THAT EVERYONE IS ON BOARD WITH IT. WE'VE GOT A FEW FOLKS THAT I TALK TO, AND I THINK AFTER THE DISCUSSION AND THE. MAINLY ABOUT THE COST THAT THAT THEY'LL THEY'RE ON BOARD. SO IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT IT AFTER THIS, WE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT SOME MORE. BUT I'M VERY EXCITED TO GET THIS DONE. SO THANK YOU. AND THAT WAS ALL I HAD. YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER CARROLL. YES, SIR. AND CLAIRE PREFERS ALL HER PHONE CALLS AFTER 10 P.M, SO JUST KEEP THAT. NOTED. I'D LIKE TO GIVE A BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE BOYS SOCCER TEAM. THEY WENT AND DEFENDED THEIR STATE TITLE. THEY ARE BACK TO BACK STATE CHAMPIONS. COULDN'T BE MORE PROUDER OF THOSE THOSE MEN TO GOING DOWN. THEY WENT INTO EXTRA TIME WINNING THE PENALTY KICK. SO EXTREMELY PROUD OF THEM TO DEFEND THE STATE TITLE. HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THEM BACK DOWN HERE LIKE WE HAVE IN THE PAST AND RECOGNIZE THEM. REMIND EVERYBODY YOU HAVE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS COMING UP. IT IS STILL NOT TOO LATE. I KNOW EVERYBODY'S REGISTERED TO VOTE, BUT JUST IN CASE YOU'RE NOT REGISTERED TO VOTE, YOU STILL CAN. SO PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, THESE ELECTIONS ARE INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT. THESE MEN AND WOMEN THAT THAT PUT THEMSELVES OUT THERE TO REPRESENT YOU TO ASK FOR YOUR VOTE, YOU KNOW, GO SUPPORT THEM. GO LISTEN TO THESE FORUMS, THESE DEBATES MAKE YOUR SOUND DECISIONS. WE ARE NOT ENDORSING ANY CANDIDATES, OBVIOUSLY, BUT IT IS DEFINITELY FOR YOU, YOUR YOU'RE WATCHING OUT FOR YOUR TAX DOLLARS. SO PLEASE STAY INFORMED. WATCH THESE FORUMS AND MAKE SOUND DECISIONS. BUT PLEASE GO VOTE. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER RAPHAEL. YEAH I HAVE A SEVERAL THINGS. FIRST OF ALL, DON'T FORGET TO CHANGE YOUR CLOCKS. THAT'S COMING UP MARCH THE 9TH. ALSO TWO, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO OUT WITH FPL FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT AND CHECK OUT THE CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE THAT THEY'RE DOING IN GLEN HAVEN TO HARDENING THE SYSTEM FOR OUR EMERGENCY SERVICES. THAT'S A BIG DEAL. WE ARE EVERY DAY MORE AND MORE AS A COUNTY WORKING WITH OUR SUPPORT PEOPLE LIKE FPL AND HARDENING AND STORM PROOFING BAY COUNTY, MAKING IT BETTER FOR PEOPLE. WHAT THIS IS GOING TO DO, THIS IS REMOVING SOME OF THOSE OLD WOODEN TELEPHONE POLES THAT I'VE TALKED ABOUT SO MANY TIMES IN

[00:45:01]

WITHOUT YOU GUYS DEFENDING FREEDOM IN AMERICA, WE DON'T GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO SIT ON THIS DAIS AND SUPPORT THE VERY PEOPLE THAT PUT US IN THESE POSITIONS. SO. SO THANK YOU. I WILL DO WHATEVER I CAN DO AS COMMISSIONER TO HONOR OUR VETERANS. AND WHEN I WHEN I SAY THAT, I MEAN THAT FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYBODY SAYS ABOUT IT. YOU GUYS HAVE EARNED THE RIGHT TO BE HONORED. AND NAVY BASE IS CELEBRATING 250 YEARS. WHO CANNOT GET EXCITED ABOUT THAT? IF YOU CAN'T, YOUR POWDER'S WET. I WILL JUST GO AHEAD AND TELL YOU STRAIGHT UP. SO I'M I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS. I COMMEND CLAIRE AND A PHENOMENAL JOB THAT SHE HAS DONE. AND CLARIFYING, CLAIRE CLARIFIED. THERE YOU GO. 4500 BUCKS, NOT 45,000. SO THIS IS GREAT. THIS IS GREAT FOR BAY COUNTY. THIS IS GREAT FOR THE NAVY. THIS IS GREAT FOR OUR VETERANS. SO WE'LL GIVE IT A ROUND OF APPLAUSE. AND I'M PROUD OF YOU AND I APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU. DUB. DANIEL STOLE THE ONE THAT I HAD. BUT I WANT TO ALSO SAY THE GENTLEMAN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE, MISTER CHAIRMAN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I ACTUALLY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK WITH COMMANDER MOSEY. LAST WEEK ABOUT THIS. HE WAS VERY EXCITED ABOUT WHAT WE WERE DOING. AND TO YOU VETERANS, THANK YOU ALL FOR WHAT YOU DO. MY DAD WAS A GUNNER'S MATE BACK DURING VIETNAM. SO GREW UP AROUND THE NAVY MYSELF. ONE THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO BRING UP IS LET. THE SESSION IS ABOUT TO START IN TALLAHASSEE, AND SEVERAL OF Y'ALL HAVE NOT BEEN UP HERE, HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED. AND THERE'S A REASON THERE. THERE'S A RESOLUTION IN FRONT OF Y'ALL THAT WAS PASSED ABOUT THE PACE PROGRAM. THE PROPERTY ASSESSED CLEAN ENERGY PROGRAM. THERE ARE TWO KINDS. THERE'S WHAT'S CALLED OUR PACE, WHICH IS RESIDENTIAL, AND SEA PACE, WHICH IS COMMERCIAL CLEAN ENERGY. I'M GOING TO OPEN UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT IN A SECOND AS WELL AND TRY TO ADDRESS THIS ONE. BUT THERE HAS BEEN A BILL THAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED OVER IN TALLAHASSEE THAT I BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD SUPPORT. DANIEL AND DOUG. Y'ALL WEREN'T ON THE COMMISSION AT THE TIME, BUT BASICALLY WHAT OUR PACE DOES IS OR THE PACE PROGRAM IS. THIRD PARTIES COME IN. THEY GO. YOU MIGHT HAVE HAD THEM KNOCK ON DOORS, SOLAR PANELS ON HOUSES AND DIFFERENT THINGS SUCH AS THAT. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT DO THIS AND THEY DO IT CORRECTLY. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE'S A LOT OF FRAUD IN DIFFERENT THINGS. ACTUALLY, OVER IN GADSDEN COUNTY, THERE'S A GENTLEMAN THAT HAS A MOBILE HOME THAT HAS A $70,000 ROOF ON IT BECAUSE SOMEBODY UPGRADED HIM THROUGH THIS PROGRAM. WHERE TO ME, THE ISSUE COMES IN IS NOT THAT THEY DO THIS, ALTHOUGH I DON'T AGREE WITH WHAT THEY DO. IT IS OUR TAX COLLECTOR IS THE DEBT COLLECTOR. IT'S ATTACHED TO YOUR PROPERTY TAXES AND THE PROPERTY OF THE. THE TAX COLLECTOR HAS TO COLLECT THESE TAXES EVERY YEAR. AND SO IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T PAY, IF Y'ALL THINK ABOUT IT, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE TAX DEED. THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE SOMEBODY THAT'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO COME IN, AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO COME AND THEY'RE GOING TO TALK TO US. AND OUR TAX COLLECTOR HAS TO BE THE DEBT COLLECTOR FOR THIS PRIVATE ENTITY. MOST OF THE TIME IT'S PRIVATE EQUITY THAT'S OUT OF THE NORTH. AND THEY'RE DOING THIS AT SEVEN, EIGHT, 9% INTEREST RATE. AND I DON'T THINK THAT THAT IS SOMETHING FOR OUR COMMUNITY THAT IS ACCEPTABLE.

AND THERE IS A BILL THAT HAS BEEN PUT FORWARD TO DO AWAY WITH RESIDENTIAL PACE. AND I BELIEVE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE, AS A COMMISSION, SHOULD PUT TOGETHER A RESOLUTION AND SUPPORT THAT CAN BE FILED WITH THAT BILL TO SHOW THAT BAY COUNTY IS IN FAVOR OF REMOVING RESIDENTIAL PACE, DOESN'T ADDRESS COMMERCIAL PACE. I LOOK AT COMMERCIAL PACE DIFFERENTLY. I STILL DON'T AGREE WITH THE PREMISE OF IT, BUT TO ME, COMMERCIAL IS A LOT DIFFERENT THAN THE RESIDENTIAL SIDE, WHERE A LOT OF FOLKS GET SOLD A BILL OF GOODS AND THEN THEY CAN'T UNWIND WHAT THEY'RE DEALING WITH. AND SO WITH THAT, WELL, Y'ALL HAVE THE CHANCE TO LOOK AT THIS. I JUST ASK, IS THAT PUBLIC COMMENT? IS THERE ANYONE THAT HAS ANY INTEREST IN SPEAKING ON THIS RIGHT NOW, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER? ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE OPEN UP FOR DISCUSSION AMONGST US. BUT AGAIN, WHAT I'M ASKING FOR IS FROM Y'ALL IS A MOTION AND A SECOND IN REGARDS TO US PUTTING FORWARD A RESOLUTION THAT BASICALLY SAYS WE SUPPORT THE UPCOMING BILL THAT'S BEING SUBMITTED THAT DOES THAT WOULD THAT WOULD DO AWAY WITH RESIDENTIAL PACE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE STATE. THAT THAT'S WHAT I'M REQUESTING RIGHT NOW. IN ALL FAIRNESS, MR. CHAIRMAN, WOULD WE NOT BE BETTER TO BRING IT ON AGENDA BECAUSE THE PUBLIC WASN'T EVEN AWARE OF THIS? SO THAT'S

[00:50:03]

BUT JUST TO ALLOW PUBLIC COMMENT, NO ONE HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE IT OR READ IT. OBVIOUSLY, I'M NOT OBJECTING TO IT BECAUSE WE'VE PASSED THIS BEFORE, SO I HAVE NO OBJECTION IN MY CONVERSATION WITH THE COUNTY ATTORNEY ABOUT OPENING IT UP TO PUBLIC COMMENT. NOW, WE COVER THAT. I MEAN, I'D BE HAPPY TO DO IT AGAIN AND DO IT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND GET THIS RESOLUTION IN FRONT OF THE SUBMITTED WITH THE BILL AND GOING FORWARD. NOW IS WHY I DID IT. AND I DID ASK THE COUNTY ATTORNEY IF THIS PASSES MUSTER. AND THIS WAS THE RECOMMENDATION THAT HE PUT IN FRONT OF ME. SO WE'RE GOING TO GET THAT RESOLUTION TO READ IT. ASK US TO RE APPROVE THIS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE IN PLACE. I WOULD ASK THAT WE'RE APPROVE THIS. AND SPECIFICALLY JUST ADD ONE THING THAT SPECIFICALLY TALKS TO WE'RE IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL THAT IS DOING AWAY WITH RESIDENTIAL PACE AND THAT THAT'S ALL IT WOULD SAY, IS THE BILL THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO DO AWAY WITH RESIDENTIAL PACE. DRAFTED SOMETHING. MR. LIEBERMAN, I'M SORRY, HAVE YOU DRAFTED A RESOLUTION? NO I HAVEN'T. SO WAS THAT WORDING. CAN YOU IT BASICALLY EVERYTHING WOULD MIRROR WHAT IS HERE RIGHT NOW. AND THEN THERE WOULD BE ONE MORE THING AT THE END OF WHEREAS THERE IS A BILL THAT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO DO AWAY WITH THE RESIDENTIAL PACE SIDE AND THAT WE ARE IN SUPPORT OF REMOVING OF RESIDENTIAL PACE BEING REMOVED.

YES. CAN YOU MAYBE TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT A LITTLE MORE ABOUT IT? I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING AND I'M CERTAINLY IN FAVOR OF IT, TO BE QUITE HONEST WITH YOU. I AM TIRED OF US ADDING THINGS THAT CAN CAUSE PEOPLE TO HAVE TO FORFEIT THEIR HOME IF THEY DON'T PAY, WHETHER IT BE THIS OR GRASS MOWING OR OR OTHER THINGS THAT I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH. SO I'M I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT. I'M JUST NOT SURE EVERYONE IN THE AUDIENCE OR THE SOLICITOR UNDERSTANDS EXACTLY WHAT WHAT THIS IS. AND JUST A LITTLE MORE DETAIL MAYBE, BUT WE'RE GOING TO TALLAHASSEE TWO WEEKS, SO WE'LL HAVE A MEETING PRIOR TO US GOING. IS IT. THAT'S FINE.

THAT'S FINE. JUST SO THAT WE HAVE IT. I APOLOGIZE, MR. CHAIRMAN. I JUST LIKE TO HAVE THE VERBIAGE JUST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE. I MEAN, UNLESS YOU CAN ADD THE VERBIAGE NOW. I MEAN, I'M I'M CERTAINLY WILLING TO. THAT'S FINE. GO WITH IT. NOW, IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO ADD TO THIS. EXACTLY. IF YOU HAVE IT. SORT IT OUT OR BRIAN CAN ADD IT, I WILL MAKE SURE IT IS TO Y'ALL IN THE FRIDAY UPDATES, AND WE'LL VOTE ON IT AT THE NEXT MEETING.

HOW ABOUT THAT? DOES THAT GIVE YOU TIME TO DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO WITH IT? I'LL MAKE IT WORK. I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO IT. I'M JUST LETTING YOU. I DON'T EITHER. YEAH, JUST I AGREE TO MR. CHAIRMAN. I WOULD LIKE TO READ INTO THIS BEING A NEW GUY ON THE BOARD AND I, YOU KNOW, IF THIS IS GREAT FOR BAY COUNTY AND I OBVIOUSLY I SUPPORT IT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT. OKAY, SIR, YOU CAN DO THAT. ALL RIGHT WITH THAT? NOTHING ELSE. MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
