          [PRESENTATIONS]
NEXT, WE HAVE PRESENTATIONS. THE PANHANDLE CLEAN WATER INITIATIVE PRESENTATION BY MISTER DUSTY MAY. THANK YOU. MISTER. COMMISSIONER. DISTRIBUTABLE COUPLE PACKETS. GIVE EVERYBODY A LITTLE HANDOUT. GOOD MORNING. I'M DUSTY MAY FROM PORT SAINT JOE. DO I HAVE PERMISSION TO GIVE EACH COMMISSIONER SOMETHING OR HAND IT TO HER? OKAY. SIX PACK, ONE COMMISSIONER. AM I CORRECT IN SAYING I'VE GOT FIVE MINUTES TO SPEAK? IS THAT CORRECT? OKAY, GOOD. I JUST SAW THREE UP THERE. IT MADE ME NERVOUS. I'VE GOT THIS THING DOWN TO FOUR MINUTES AND 57 SECONDS. SO I'M GOING TO MOVE REALLY QUICK. SO LET'S GO. GOOD MORNING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. 
          MY NAME IS DUSTY MAY. I'M A LIFETIME RESIDENT OF PORT SAINT JOE AND HAVE PRACTICED DENTISTRY THERE FOR THE PAST 35 YEARS. I'M GOING TO MOVE REALLY FAST TODAY. FIVE MINUTES IS QUICK. I'VE GOT IN THAT PACKET AN EXACT TRANSCRIPT OF WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY TODAY, AND ALONG WITH A COUPLE OF IMAGES IN THERE THAT ARE THAT ARE USEFUL, MY ASK TODAY IS VERY SIMPLE. I HOPE TO CONVINCE YOU TO WRITE A LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR A JOINT STUDY BETWEEN FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS, MOBILE DISTRICT, TO STUDY THE PROBLEM WE WILL BE DISCUSSING TODAY. THAT'S IT. JUST A LETTER OF SUPPORT TO FOR THE STUDY. 
          THIS LETTER WOULD BE USED ALONG WITH THE EXISTING SUPPORT LETTERS FROM THE FRANKLIN AND GULF COUNTY COMMISSIONS, AND OUR CONTINUING EFFORTS TO CONVINCE FDEP TO COOPERATE WITH THE CORPS TO DO THIS STUDY. THE CORPS IS READY AND WILLING TO DO THE STUDY. FDEP IS THE HOLDUP. THE MASSIVE DIVERSION OF APALACHICOLA RIVER WATER AND SEDIMENT AWAY FROM APALACHICOLA BAY AND ITS HARMFUL DISCHARGE INTO SAINT JOE BAY AND SAINT ANDREW BAY IS CAUSED BY THE GULF INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY. SINCE THE GWW IS A FEDERALLY MANAGED NAVIGABLE WATERWAY, THE ONLY ENTITY WITH JURISDICTION INVOLVING THIS WATERWAY IS THE CORPS. BY FEDERAL STATUTE. 
          INVOLVEMENT BY THE CORPS REQUIRES A 216 FEASIBILITY STUDY. UNLIKE MANY STUDIES, WHICH HAVE A TENDENCY TO GO ON FOREVER WITH NO CONCLUSIONS, THIS 216 FEASIBILITY STUDY CAN ONLY LAST THREE YEARS AND CAN ONLY COST A MAXIMUM OF $3 MILLION, SPLIT EQUALLY BETWEEN THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MINUS IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE STATE. SO FOR LESS THAN $500,000 A YEAR FOR THREE YEARS, THE STATE CAN DESIGN A STUDY WITH THE CORPS TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEMS WITH OUR THREE BAYS AND LAKE WIMICO. IF THE STUDY IS DONE, IT WILL, BY FEDERAL MANDATE, RECOMMEND SOLUTIONS. PURSUING THOSE SOLUTIONS IS AN ENTIRELY SEPARATE POLITICAL ACT. 
          THIS SUPPORT LETTER IN NO WAY ENDORSES ANY POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS, JUST THE STUDY. ALL THE DATA I'LL DISCUSS TODAY IS GOVERNMENT DATA PRODUCED BY NORTHWEST FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, UNITED STATES ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS, AND THE US GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. NONE OF THIS IS BASE DATA. THESE ARE COLD, 
          [00:05:03]
HARD, UNDISPUTED FACTS. FIRST, THE CURRENT DATA 2.5 BILLION GALLONS OF APALACHICOLA RIVER WATER AND SEDIMENT ARE DIVERTED AWAY FROM APALACHICOLA BAY EACH DAY. JUST A REMINDER, A BILLION IS 1000 MILLION. SO 1.6 BILLION GALLONS RIVER WATER AND SEDIMENT INTO SAINT JOE BAY EACH DAY. 600 MILLION GALLONS OF RIVER WATER AND SEDIMENT INTO SAINT ANDREW BAY EACH DAY. MORE IMPORTANTLY IS THE VAST AMOUNT OF SEDIMENT DEPOSITED ON OUR BAY FLOORS THAT SHOULD BE GOING TO FEED THE OYSTERS IN APALACHICOLA BAY AND IS INSTEAD DESTROYING OUR SEAGRASS BEDS, SILTING IN OUR BAY FLOORS, CAUSING EUTROPHICATION AND THE DESTRUCTION OF PHYTOPLANKTON THAT IS THE BASE OF THE SALINE ESTUARY FOOD CHAIN. YOU HAVE WELL, IN THAT PICTURE, YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF SOME OF THE PICTURES OF THE CORE SAMPLES TAKEN FROM SAINT JOE BAY. THERE'S A LOT MORE ON OUR WEBSITE. SO NOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT CURRENT DATA. LET'S TALK ABOUT HISTORICAL DATA. WE KNOW THAT SINCE THE LAST ICE AGE, ROUGHLY 8000 YEARS AGO, ALL THE WATER AND SEDIMENT FROM THE 20,000 SQUARE MILE APALACHICOLA RIVER FLOODPLAIN AND THE 75,000 ACRE LAKE WIMICO BASIN FLOWED INTO APALACHICOLA BAY ALONE, WHERE IT NOURISHED A THRIVING AND PRODUCTIVE OYSTER BAR BASED ECOSYSTEM. WE KNOW THAT SAINT JOE BAY WAS ONE OF THE ONLY EXCLUSIVELY SALINE MARINE ESTUARIES WITH NO SIGNIFICANT FRESHWATER INFLOWS, AND THAT SAINT ANDREW BAY HAD EXTENSIVE AND PRODUCTIVE SEAGRASS BEDS. WE KNOW THE WATERSHED BOUNDARY THAT SEPARATED THESE TWO TOTALLY SEPARATE ECOSYSTEMS SINCE THE LAST ICE AGE IS THE ELEVATION THAT HIGHWAY 71 IS BUILT ON. WE KNOW THE CORE IS BREACHED. THAT WATERSHED BOUNDARY IN THE EARLY 1900S WITH THE IWW, AND THIS REVERSED THE FLOW OF THE JACKSON RIVER. AND NOW BETWEEN 8 AND 12% OF THE TOTAL RIVER FLOW GOING INTO APALACHICOLA BAY IS DIVERTED AWAY FROM THE BAY, AND HARMFULLY DISCHARGED INTO SAINT ANDREW BAY AND SAINT JOE BAY. IN CLOSING, THE CORPS HAS PUBLISHED AN INITIAL ADVISORY RECOMMENDING THIS STUDY. YOU HAVE A COPY? THEY HAVE INDICATED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE IWW AND ANY PROBLEMS THAT MAY BE CAUSING THIS DIVERSION AND DISCHARGE DIRECTLY AFFECTS WATER QUALITY ON GULF AND ESPECIALLY BAY COUNTY BEACHES. MEXICO BEACH AND PANAMA CITY BEACH. BROWN WATER IS NOT GOOD FOR TOURISM. IT AFFECTS PANAMA CITY BEACH AS WELL. THE NEXT TIME THE APALACHICOLA RIVER IS IN FLOOD STAGE, GO TO THOMAS DRIVE AND TAKE A LOOK. THE WATER IS YELLOW BROWN, NOT BLUE. THE PORT OF PORT SAINT JOE SUPPORTS THIS STUDY, REESTABLISHING THE HISTORIC WATERSHED BOUNDARY WOULD DECREASE MAINTENANCE COSTS OF THE CHANNEL BETWEEN EASTERN SHIPBUILDING AND THE PORT OF PORT SAINT JOE, AS WELL AS DECREASING THE COST OF MAINTAINING THE CHANNEL INTO THE GULF. THIS IS NOT SOME BRILLIANT IDEA WE HAD. THIS IS JUST BELIEF IN MOTHER NATURE. THE 216 FEASIBILITY STUDY WOULD SIMPLY HELP DECIDE WHETHER REESTABLISHING THE HISTORICAL WATERSHED BOUNDARY THAT SEPARATED OUR TWO PREVIOUSLY PRODUCTIVE ECOSYSTEMS FOR THE PAST 8000 YEARS IS A GOOD IDEA. 
          WE NEED YOUR HELP, AND THIS LETTER OF SUPPORT IS CRITICAL IN MOVING THIS EFFORT FORWARD. 
          THANK YOU. AND I'M AVAILABLE AT ANY AT ALL TIMES FOR QUESTIONS. SO IF ANY OF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT ME. THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT. THIS IS FOR ANYTHING ON 
          [PUBLIC COMMENT]
THE AGENDA THAT IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING. THE NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE. DEREK THOMAS, 1100 WEST 10TH STREET. THE MEASUREMENTS OF THE WATER AND WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT IS GREAT. AND I WOULD LIKE TO HOPE THAT YOU WOULD ALSO INCLUDE THE LEVEL OF ACTUAL ORGANIC LIFE AND THE LEVELS OF PLANT LIFE THAT ARE IN THE ACTUAL WATER. 
          COMPLAINED MANY TIMES UP HERE ABOUT THE MOSQUITO SPRAYING A KNOW THAT 20 YEARS AGO, BACK WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED HEAVILY USING IT, AND OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS, THERE'S JUST THE AMOUNT THAT'S CONSTANTLY BEING DUMPED IN THE ENVIRONMENT. AND EVERY YEAR IT'S MORE AND MORE. WHEN I FIRST CAME DOWN HERE, THERE WAS 12 DIFFERENT KINDS OF BUTTERFLIES AND LOTS OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF BEES, AND THE MOSQUITO SPRAYS WOULD COME AROUND AND ALL THOSE BEES WOULD WIND UP DEAD ON THE GROUND, AND THE BIRDS WOULD EAT THEM UP. THE DOVES HANG OUT IN MY YARD, AND THEY WOULD EAT ALL THE DEAD INSECTS ON THE GROUND AND THEN HAVE TROUBLE FLYING. AND SO IF YOU TAKE IN WHAT BASICALLY IS A CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DESTROYING CHEMICAL THAT'S BEEN DILUTED DOWN AND IT'S PROPRIETARY. SO THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT HAVE EVER DONE ANY TESTS ON 
          [00:10:04]
IT ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SELLING IT. AND IF IT IT'S DILUTED DOWN SO IT WHERE IT HURTS MOSQUITOES, BUT IT DOESN'T HURT PEOPLE, OR AT LEAST NOT WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT WHAT IT DOES. BUT IF IT'S HURTING KILLING MOSQUITOES, WHAT IS IT DOING TO THE SMALL MICROSCOPIC STUFF THAT'S LIVING IN THE WATER? AND ARE YOU MEASURING THAT LEVEL OF THAT KIND OF A LIFE THAT WILL WORK ITS WAY UP THE FOOD CHAIN, AND AS IT DOES, THE CHEMICALS IN THOSE WILL BE CONCENTRATED HIGHER AND HIGHER. SO, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE STUDYING FOR AUTISM, IF YOU HAVE A CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DESTROYING CHEMICAL THAT EVERY YEAR FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS IT'S BEEN DUMPED IN LARGER AND LARGER AMOUNTS. THIS YEAR, THE BUDGET IS 2.7 MILLION FOR THAT MOSQUITO SPRAY. I GUESS YOU HAD SPENT 1.9 MILLION AND THAT GETS BIGGER EVERY YEAR. USUALLY YOU GO OVER THAT. I THINK IT'S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO AND STUDY. ALSO, THE LEVEL OF NITROGEN IS MAKING THE PLANTS GROW FASTER IN THE WATER BECAUSE IT'S WASHING OFF. 
          IT'S DON'T HAVE THE SAME THICK SOIL THAT'S HOLDING THE NITROGEN ON LAND, AND THE ORGANIC MATTER THAT'S HOLDING THE NITROGEN ON LAND. AND IT'S WINDING UP IN THE BAY, WHICH MAKES THE PLANTS GROW FASTER. IT'S ALSO MAKING THE ALGAE GROW FASTER. SO WHAT YOU HAVE OUT THERE IN THE WATER IS THE ALGAE IS GROWING TOO FAST AND BLOOMING, AND THE ORGANIC LIFE IS DYING OFF. AND I DON'T THINK YOU'RE MEASURING IT AND STUDYING THE EFFECT OF THE MOSQUITO SPRAY YOU'RE DUMPING INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. ALSO ON THE. THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCIES. I THINK THAT THAT'S A GOOD THING IF YOU DON'T DO THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE TAKING ALL THE MONEY FOR THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD AND YOU'RE CONCENTRATING IT IN ONE PART OF THE CITY, AND IT'S NOT HELPING THE REST OF THE CITY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE. CONSENT

          [County Attorney]
MA'AM. ALL RIGHT. NEXT. WE'VE GOT MOVE TO REGULAR AGENDA ITEM THREE, CITY OF PANAMA CITY COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AREA INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT. I HAD ASKED FOR THAT TO BE PULLED OFF SO THAT WE COULD JUST LET BOB RUN OVER WHERE EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. 
          WE JUST WENT THROUGH EVERYTHING WITH THE CRA, WITH THE BEACH, AND HOW COMPLICATED IT WAS. SO I JUST THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO LET HIM REVIEW THAT WITH EVERYONE. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. 
          THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. SO, ITEM THREE, CITY OF PANAMA CITY COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATIONS. THE BOARD APPROVED AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF PANAMA CITY RELATING TO AN EXPANSION OF THE SAINT ANDREW'S DISTRICT COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIRMAN TO EXECUTE SAME. SPECIFICALLY, WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS RESPONDING TO A REQUEST FROM THE CITY TO EXPAND THE EXISTING BOUNDARIES 
          [00:15:04]
OF THE SAINT ANDREW'S DISTRICT COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA. AS A PART OF THAT REQUEST, UNDER FLORIDA STATUTE. WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY AT THIS POINT TO EXPRESS OUR CONCERN ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL REVENUE THAT WOULD BE GENERATED FROM THAT EXPANDED AREA AND HOW THAT REVENUE WILL BE USED. WE'VE DONE THAT AT THE STAFF LEVEL. WE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH THE CITY, AND THE CITY COMMISSION HAS SUBSEQUENTLY PASSED THE AGREEMENT THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU, I BELIEVE, THIS MORNING. AND WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS THAT THE CITY CONVEY 26% OF ANY NEW REVENUE GENERATED BACK TO THE COUNTY. SO THE PURPOSE OF THAT IS AS REDEVELOPMENT OCCURS. 
          TRADITIONALLY SAINT ANDREW'S HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL. SO WE WOULD EXPECT TO SEE PERHAPS MORE PEOPLE MOVING THERE, MORE COMMERCE THERE. THAT'S GOING TO DRIVE DEMAND FOR MORE SERVICES THAT ARE PROVIDED BY THE COUNTY FROM THE COUNTY'S GENERAL FUND, AND THAT ADDITIONAL 26%, OR 26% OF THAT ADDITIONAL REVENUE WOULD STAY WITH THE COUNTY TO OFFSET THOSE FUTURE ANTICIPATED EXPENSES. SO FUTURE LAW ENFORCEMENT EXPENSES, FUTURE COURT SYSTEM EXPENSES, THE JAIL, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS ALL COME OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND. AND SO WE MADE THAT REQUEST. THE CITY IS ON BOARD WITH IT. SO THAT'S IN YOUR AGREEMENT TODAY. AND WE'RE ASKING YOU TO APPROVE THAT. QUESTIONS FOR THE COUNTY MANAGER. SEEING NONE ANY DISCUSSION OR MOTION. MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND. MOTION. AND SECOND IF YOU WOULD PLEASE CALL THE ROLL COMMISSIONER. CARROLL. YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER. YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER. CROSBY. YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER. PEAS. YES, MA'AM. CHAIRMAN. MOORE. YES, MA'AM. ALL RIGHT. NEXT. REGULAR

          [County Attorney]
HEARING. COUNTY ATTORNEY, THIS IS REVISIONS TO CHAPTER FOUR. THE BAY COUNTY CODE OF ORDINANCES. ATTORNEY CARUTHERS. GOOD MORNING, CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSIONERS. ITEM 11 IS REVISIONS TO CHAPTER FOUR OF THE BAY COUNTY CODE OF ORDINANCES. THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IS PROPOSING AMENDMENTS TO THIS CHAPTER. THIS IS PART OF OUR ONGOING EFFORT TO ADDRESS EACH CHAPTER IN OUR ORDINANCES. THIS PARTICULAR CHAPTER INVOLVES ANIMALS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT WITHIN THE COUNTY. THE BACKGROUND PORTION OF THE AGENDA ITEM SETS FORTH THE MAIN SUBJECT AREAS WHERE THE CHANGES ARE PROPOSED, AND WE'VE GOT TEN DIFFERENT TOPIC AREAS. THOSE INCLUDE ANIMAL TRAPPING, RABIES, QUARANTINE, THE DANGEROUS DOGS ARTICLE, THE PROCEDURE FOR NOTIFYING OWNERS WHEN LOST PETS ARE FOUND AND IMPOUNDED, CLARIFYING THE NOISE NUISANCE SECTION. DEFINING AND FURTHER CLARIFYING THE PHRASE QUOTE WITHOUT PROVOCATION. CLARIFYING THE PUNISHMENT FOR VIOLATIONS OF CERTAIN SECTIONS OF THIS CHAPTER AND THEN MAKING OTHER NON-SUBSTANTIVE MINOR TECHNICAL GRAMMATICAL CHANGES LIKE OXFORD COMMAS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO IF YOU'RE NOT AN OXFORD COMMA FAN, I'M SORRY. THERE'S A LOT OF THEM THAT HAVE BEEN ADDED SO THAT THAT'S IT. IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A BROAD PRESENTATION, BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM OR CHAT THROUGH IT. I HAD ONE UNDER SECTION 4-42 NOISE. 
          FIRST, I WANT TO THANK YOU AND BRIAN BOTH FOR GOING THROUGH THIS AD NAUSEAM WITH ME AND, YOU KNOW, MAKING THE CHANGES THAT I THOUGHT. AND THANKS FOR EVERYONE ELSE AGREEING TO THOSE. BUT THERE'S JUST THIS LAST ONE ABOUT A DOG OR ANIMAL. MOSTLY EVERYONE'S HEARD A DOG BARKING CONTINUOUSLY. I HAVE NEVER HEARD A DOG BARK FOR 30 MINUTES OR LONGER, AND I FEEL LIKE IF A DOG 
          [00:20:07]
IS BARKING FOR 30 MINUTES, EVEN IF HE STOPS FOR A FEW MOMENTS TO TAKE A BREATH, THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE DOG. THERE'S SOMETHING. THERE'S SOMETHING BAD WRONG. FOR 30 STRAIGHT MINUTES OF BARKING. ANYBODY THAT KNOWS WHEN THE UPS COMES TO YOUR DOOR AND YOUR DOG STARTS BARKING, YOU WANT TO SILENCE HIM IMMEDIATELY, AND HE'S ONLY BARKING JUST FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. SO IF YOU CAN IMAGINE BEING THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR AND TRYING TO PUT THE BABY DOWN FOR A NAP AND THE DOGS FOR 30 MINUTES IS BARKING LOUDLY, I THINK SOMETHING'S WRONG AND IT SHOULD NOT BE 30 MINUTES. I WOULD SAY. I REALLY THINK 15 MINUTES IS A LONG TIME, BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE US CUT IT IN HALF. AND ALSO IF YOU WOULD THINK IF PERHAPS IT'S A SERVICE DOG, AND IF IT'S A SERVICE DOG AND SOMEONE'S HAVING A SOME TYPE OF EPILEPTIC SEIZURE OR A OTHER HEALTH THING AND THE DOG IS BARKING CONTINUOUSLY, SOMEONE NEEDS TO GO AND FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE DOG. SO IF THERE'S ANY WAY I COULD GET. GODS TO HANG WITH ME ON, CHANGING 30 MINUTES TO 15 MINUTES IS ALL THAT I'M ASKING ON THIS. JUST TO CUT THE CUT THE CUT IT DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT. SO SOMEONE WILL TAKE NOTE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM IF A DOG'S BARKING FOR 30 STRAIGHT MINUTES. SO THAT WAS THAT WAS. AND I APPRECIATE THE CHANGING OF THE PUTTING THE WATER IN WITH SOMEONE THAT'S GOING TO TRAP, YOU KNOW, AS, AS A HUNTER AND A FISHERMAN IN THE CAROLINAS, YOU KNOW, WE HAD TO HAVE A TRAPPING LICENSE. AND I WAS READING ABOUT THAT. YOU ALSO HAVE TO HAVE ONE HERE IF YOU'RE A HUNTER OR TRAPPER, AND WE DON'T REALLY REQUIRE ANYONE TO HAVE ANY TYPE OF A TRAPPING LICENSE WHEN THEY'RE TRAPPING ANIMALS IN THEIR YARD, AND THEN BAY COUNTY COMES AND PICKS THEM UP. SO I WOULD LIKE I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THEM SOME INSTRUCTION AND THEY HAVE TO SIGN OFF. YOU KNOW, THAT THEY AT LEAST KIND OF KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING A LITTLE BIT WITH THE WITH THE TRAPPING. SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THOSE CHANGES. AND IF I COULD GET SOME SUPPORT ON THE 15 MINUTES I ASK A QUESTION. YES, SIR. IS THE CONCERN WITH THE WITH THE CONTINUOUSNESS OF THE BARKING? I MEAN, TO YOUR POINT, AN ANIMAL BARKING 30 CONTINUOUS MINUTES IS THERE IS THAT THE. WELL, I MEAN, I'M KIND OF LIKE, ARE WE WORRIED ABOUT IT? DOES IT IS THERE SOME STANDARD WHERE IT HAS TO BE CONTINUOUS, OR COULD IT BE BECAUSE WE'RE I THINK WE'RE TRYING TO FOCUS ON THERE IS OPERATIONALLY IS THE PERIOD NOT THAT THE DOG IS ACTUALLY BARKING NONSTOP FOR 30 MINUTES. RIGHT. SO IF WE WENT TO 15 MINUTES, I WOULD I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE IN THE SITUATION AT 15 MINUTES WHERE A DOG IS BARKING. I'M JUST WONDERING IF WE COULD MAYBE THINK THROUGH THAT OPERATIONALLY ABOUT IF THERE'S A 15 MINUTE PERIOD AND THE DOG IS BARKING ON AND OFF FOR 15 MINUTES, IT IS RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT. I WAS TRYING NOT TO GET TOO GREEDY WITH THE TIME, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, BY JUST CUTTING IT IN HALF, BUT I THINK IT IT IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM. YEAH. I DON'T KNOW THAT. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE GET TO A SOLUTION ON ON HANDLING THIS FROM A NOISE PERSPECTIVE. I MEAN, IF YOU THINK A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER STANDING THERE AND THEY'RE CLOCKING THIS AND THE DOG BARKS FOR 13 MINUTES AND THEN STOPS AND THE CLOCK STARTS AGAIN, RIGHT? THAT'S THE YOU KNOW, SO I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE CONTINUOUSNESS OF THE BARKING. IF IT'S IF IT'S BEING DISRUPTIVE FOR A 30 MINUTE PERIOD OR A 15 MINUTE PERIOD, EVEN INTERMITTENTLY, I THINK THAT WE WOULD WANT TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO ADDRESS THAT. SO THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S JUST BUT I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE TIED TO SOME SURE PRECEDENT ON THAT. SO JUST FOR A BIT OF CLARIFICATION, THE ORIGINAL ORDINANCE IN FOUR DASH 42 DID ACTUALLY SAY A PERIOD OF 30 MINUTES OR LONGER. WE ADDED A SENTENCE INTO SECTION FOUR, DASH 42. THAT'S LET'S SEE, LINE ONE TWO, THREE, SIX. THIS IS A NEW SENTENCE ADDED FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION. PERSISTENTLY OR CONTINUOUSLY SHALL MEAN NONSTOP UTTERANCES FOR OF 30 CONSECUTIVE MINUTES, WITH INDIVIDUAL INTERRUPTIONS OF LESS THAN 20S AT A TIME, SO THAT WE A BREATH OF AIR, RIGHT. SO WE CONTINUE TO. SO WE DID ADD THAT IN THERE AS POTENTIAL CLARIFICATION TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF WIGGLE ROOM. BUT CERTAINLY I MEAN, IF, IF THE COMMISSION'S WOULD PREFER TO, TO CHANGE THAT NUMBER, I MEAN WE CAN HESITATION THAT I WOULD HAVE IF YOU DON'T MIND, MR. CHAIRMAN, SIR, WE HAVE TWO DOGS AND WE TAKE THEM OUTSIDE TO GO PLAY, AND I HAVE ONE THAT ONLY WANTS TO DO IS PLAY BALL. HE DOESN'T BARK, EVER. THE OTHER ONE. SHE STANDS THERE AND BARKS AND BARKS. SO THE WHOLE TIME WE'RE INTERACTING OUTSIDE, IT'S SO ON THE BALL AND THE OTHER ONE IS STANDING THERE BARKING, AND IT'S LIKE, I WOULD HATE FOR SOMEBODY TO CALL CODE ENFORCEMENT BECAUSE I'M LITERALLY ENTERTAINING THE DOGS OR MY WIFE OR WHATEVER. BUT ANYWAY, I JUST, I LIVE IN THE CITY, SO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO COME AFTER OUR DOGS MIGHT BE RELATED. YEAH. WHAT WAS THAT ADDRESS? TO THAT END? ONE OF THE THINGS I HAD IN MIND FROM WHERE 
          [00:25:10]
I GREW UP IN SOUTH GEORGIA AND, AND THE DISTRICT I REPRESENT IS I'M THINKING MORE OF KENNELS, NOT JUST 1 OR 2 ANIMALS, BUT I AM THINKING OF KENNELS, BIRD DOGS, SEVERAL OF THEM. WHEN I FIRST GOT ELECTED, I ACTUALLY HAD A GENTLEMAN WHO FILED A COMPLAINT. THEY WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS AND FROM A DUE PROCESS STANDPOINT, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I REQUESTED IN HERE WAS RELATED TO THEY WENT THROUGH THE ENTIRE THING. THEN IT STOPPED, AND THEN IT STARTED UP AGAIN, AND THEY HAD TO BEGIN ALL OVER AGAIN. AND SO IF YOU'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY THAT'S GOT 8 TO 10 DOGS AND THEY'RE DOING SOMETHING IN THE AREA AND YOU GET IN THE COUNTRY AND THEY START GOING, AND WE'VE LOST A LOT OF TREES. THAT CARRIES FOR A WHILE. SO THAT'S ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS. AND SO THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY A TIMING ISSUE. BUT JUST SO Y'ALL ARE AWARE, THE THAT GREW UP IN SOUTH GEORGIA WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS MORE OF SOMEBODY THAT'S GOT A LOT OF ANIMALS, NOT JUST KIND OF A 1 OR 2 OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO BE COGNIZANT OF. JUST AS WE'RE HAVING THIS DISCUSSION ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE FOR Y'ALL TO BE THINKING ABOUT. I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL HAD THOUGHT ABOUT THAT. 
          Y'ALL WERE GOING THROUGH AND REVIEWING THESE THINGS. I THINK WE I THINK THERE IS A SECTION IN HERE THAT PULLS OUT HUNTING DOGS, AND I'M NOT SURE THAT I CAN PULL IT STRAIGHT UP, BUT I THINK THERE IS SOME CALLING OUT OF THAT NORTH PROPERTY ZONE BOARDING KENNEL. YEAH, BOARDING KENNELS AND OTHER FACILITIES. SO I THINK THAT THAT THAT DOES COVER NOW WHETHER IT'S TOTALLY CLEAR OR IT MAY NEED SOME MORE. AND TO YOUR POINT, ROBERT, MAYBE WE COULD HAVE AN UNATTENDED DOG THAT CONTINUES TO BARK AND PUT SOME LANGUAGE IN THERE WHERE, YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU SAY, YOU'RE OUT THERE BECAUSE MINE DOES IT TOO. MY LITTLE ONE DOES IT WHILE THE BIG ONE'S CHASING THE BALL. 
          SO I UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT IS SOMEONE THAT LEAVES THEIR DOG PINNED UP OUTSIDE, OR IS UNATTENDED BY AN ADULT BEING SOMEONE, AS THIS SAYS, 18 OR OVER. SO MAYBE WE COULD. MAYBE NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO MASSAGE THE LANGUAGE. MAYBE WE COULD COME BACK AND REVISIT THIS AND TRY TO INCORPORATE AND MAYBE COMPLAINTS WITH IT. DO WE KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE BARKING, EXCESSIVE BARKING? WE ACTUALLY DO HAVE OUR ANIMAL CONTROL MANAGER HERE WHO MAY BE ABLE TO BETTER SPEAK WITH THAT. I AM NOT AWARE OF IT BEING A LARGE ISSUE, BUT I DON'T KNOW. 
          I HEAR WHAT SHE'S GOT TO SAY. YEAH. COME ON, TELL US ABOUT THESE PUPPIES. SORRY TO PUT HER ON THE SPOT. I DID NOT KNOW I WAS GOING TO DO THAT, I MEAN. I JUST ANSWERED ONE LIKE A FEW DAYS AGO. SO PRETTY FRESH ON THE MIND. GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING. WE DO NOT GET AS MANY BARKING COMPLAINTS AS WE DO RUNNING AT LARGES. AND WE ALL KNOW THE STRAY CAT ISSUE WE HAVE IN THE COMMUNITY. SO I WOULD SAY ON A MONTHLY BASIS WE MAYBE GET TWO BARKING, TWO BARKING COMPLAINTS WITH THAT IN OUR IN OUR ORDINANCES, THOSE BARKING COMPLAINTS, THE AFFIDAVITS THAT ARE COMPLETED BY THE CITIZENS HAVE TO COME IN DUPLICATE. THAT MEANS THAT TWO NEIGHBORS WITHIN 800FT OF EACH OTHER HAVE TO FILE THOSE AFFIDAVITS IN ORDER FOR ANIMAL CONTROL TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          SO BARKING AND BARKING COMPLAINTS ARE NOT AS PREVALENT AS SOME OF THE OTHER ANIMAL ISSUES WE HAVE IN THE COUNTY. DO YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE ON 15 MINUTES? 30 MINUTES? IS IT 15 MINUTES BECAUSE THEY GOT WOKEN UP BY THE DOG? IS THAT UNFORTUNATELY, A LOT OF THE BARKING COMPLAINTS COME AS A NEIGHBOR DISPUTE. AND SO 15 MINUTES AS OPPOSED TO 30 15 MINUTES. WE'RE GOING TO I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO START SEEING THEM COME IN A LITTLE MORE. SO 30 MINUTES GIVES THEM THAT. MAKES IT A LITTLE STRICTER FOR THOSE THOSE NEIGHBORS WHO ARE JUST BACK AND FORTH. COOLDOWN PERIOD. YES, YES. COOLDOWN PERIOD. CHAIRMAN, IF I MAY. YES, SIR. NO. NOT EVERYBODY WITH YOU KNOW, WE LIKE TO THANK PEOPLE. HUNTING DOGS ALL LIVE IN THE COUNTRY. THEY DON'T. I HAVE A NEIGHBOR WHO LIVES JUST DOWN THE STREET FROM ME, AND HE PROBABLY HAS SEVEN DOGS, ALL DOGS, IN HIS BACKYARD. AND WE'RE IN THE, YOU KNOW, BIN HAVEN. AND SO THOSE DOGS, WHEN THEY GET AFTER THEY GET AFTER IT, THEY DON'T STOP UNTIL WHATEVER THEY'RE DOING, I HAVE NO IDEA. I CAN LOOK OVER HIS FENCE AND SEE IGLOOS FROM THE ROAD. RIGHT. BUT TO CLEAR HIS POINT, I MEAN, THAT'S IT CAN BE PRETENTIOUS 15 MINUTES OR 30 MINUTES, BUT THE FACTS ARE, YOU 
          [00:30:07]
KNOW, DOES DOES IT MAKE YOUR JOB EASIER TO GO FROM 30 MINUTES TO 15 MINUTES OR, YOU KNOW, SO 30 MINUTES IS GOING TO BE I THINK 30 MINUTES IS A IS A GOOD TIME. 15 MINUTES IS GOING TO SHORTEN THINGS UP QUITE A BIT. SO. I HAVE ONE QUESTION. BEING THE LAWYER AND JUST KIND OF THINKING AND DOING MY ODD LOT, WHAT IF WE DID SOMETHING LIKE 20 WHERE IT'S STILL A LITTLE BIT LONGER, BUT IT'S NOT QUITE AT THE 15, BUT IT'S STILL KIND OF ADDRESSES WHAT I THINK CLAIRE'S CONCERN IS, IS IT DOES SHORTEN THAT LEAD TIME SOMEWHAT FOR WHERE THOSE THINGS ARE, BECAUSE AS TO WHAT YOU WERE SAYING, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S THE COMMERCIAL EXCEPTION FOR THESE KENNELS, BUT YOUR NEIGHBOR, I'M SURE, IS NOT A COMMERCIAL KENNEL. NO, HE'S NOT. AND A LOT OF THOSE AREN'T. SO I MEAN, THAT THAT'S KIND OF THE QUESTION OF AND AGAIN, IT'S KIND OF BALANCING OUT THE RIGHTS AND OF BOTH SIDES AND WHERE THAT IS. BUT FROM THE STANDPOINT OF 20 MINUTES, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE, YOU THINK A REASONABLE COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE TWO? I BELIEVE. SO I THINK WE COULD SPLIT THAT 20 MINUTES WOULD BE GOOD. OKAY. MR. CHAIRMAN. YES, SIR. I HAVE A LITTLE EXPERIENCE WITH THIS LATELY FROM THE CITY, LIKE ROBERTS IN THE CITY, THOUGH. BUT I THINK PANAMA CITY IS TEN MINUTES. AND I CAN SAY THAT AS BEING A NEIGHBOR OF SOMEONE THAT HAS SIX YAPPING DOGS THAT GO OFF FOR TEN MINUTES, THAT IS A LONG TIME. SO BUT I'M JUST IF YOU TRY TO KEEP THINGS CONSISTENT, I THINK THAT IS WHAT THE CITY OF PANAMA CITY IS, IS TEN MINUTES. WHEN I LOOKED INTO THAT. SO SOMETHING IF WE KNOW A LOT OF TIMES WE TRY TO BE CONSISTENT. AGAIN, NOISE ORDINANCES IS ACTUALLY COVERED BY THE POLICE. ANIMAL CONTROL. 
          DOES THE NUISANCE SIDE OF THAT BARKING. AND SO ALSO WE DO OUR INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS BUT WE DO NOT. WE FOLLOW BAY COUNTY ORDINANCES AND BAY COUNTY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, NOT THE CITY. SO NOISE IS POLICE DEPARTMENT NUISANCE IS ANIMAL CONTROL. SO WHAT NOW? I'M CONFUSED. SO IF A DOG BARKS, THEY CALL THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. YES, YES. THE NOISE ORDINANCE IS COVERED BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND OR MAYBE CODE ENFORCEMENT. SO I DID NOT. I KNEW THAT'S POLICE BUT IT MAY MAY FLOW OVER INTO INTO CODE ENFORCEMENT. THE ACTUAL NUISANCE OF THE DOG BARKING IS WHAT'S COVERED BY ANIMAL CONTROL IN THE ORDINANCE. SO THEY CALL THE POLICE. BUT YOU GUYS GO OUT AND EVEN IF THEY HAVE A TEN MINUTE, THEN YOU GO BY THE 30 MINUTE. IS THAT WHAT I'M HEARING? LET ME THINK. LET ME ADD SOME CLARIFICATION. SO WE HAVE A WE HAVE A REQUIREMENT FOR THE MUNICIPALITIES THAT WE PROVIDE THE SERVICES TO THAT THEIR ORDINANCE IS MUCH MUST MATCH OURS. EXACTLY. SO, SO IT'S UNIFORM FOR THE OFFICERS IN THE FIELD. SO THEY'RE NOT HAVING TO HAVE EIGHT DIFFERENT ORDINANCES TO REFERENCE. SO THAT'S A CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION BETWEEN US AND THE MUNICIPALITIES. IF WE PROVIDE THE SERVICE TO THEM, THEIR ORDINANCE MUST MIRROR OUR ORDINANCE. AND THAT RELATES TO NUISANCE, NOT ON THE NUISANCE SIDE. RIGHT? CORRECT. THE CITY AND THE CITY OF PANAMA CITY BEACH BOTH HAVE 30 MINUTES ON THEIR DOG BARKING. THEY SHOULD IF THEY DON'T. AGAIN, UNDER OUR CONTRACT, OUR ORDINANCE PREVAILS. SO YES, BUT JUST TO CLARIFY, THEY CAN HAVE WHATEVER ORDINANCE THEY WANT, BUT WE'RE GOING TO ENFORCE THE COUNTY'S ORDINANCE. AND AGAIN, CAN. BRIAN. ALICIA, IF Y'ALL COULD JUST THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NOISE AND NUISANCE THAT THAT THE DISTINCTIONS. YES. SURE. SO YOU'LL SEE UNDER THE LANGUAGE FOR DASH 42 IT IT STATES THAT THIS PARTICULAR SECTION IS PUNISHABLE AS OR IT'S PUNISHABLE BASED ON WHAT'S OUTLINED OUTLINED IN SECTION 4-5 WHICH IS A CITATION. SO ANIMAL CONTROL IS GOING TO GENERATE A CITATION IF LAW ENFORCEMENT IS CALLED FOR VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATUTE, THEN THEY'RE GOING TO OR ONE OF THEIR CITY ORDINANCES. THEN THEY'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THAT. 
          HOWEVER, THAT THAT PUNISHMENT CODE IS SET OUT. THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR NUISANCE RELATED TO BARKING. AND THAT RESULTS IN A CITATION FROM ANIMAL CONTROL, A CIVIL CITATION. SO WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ANY SORT OF OTHER PENALTY HERE. SO IF SOMEONE CALLS ABOUT A BARKING DOG IN THE CITY, AND THE CITY SAYS THEY ONLY CAN BARK FOR TEN MINUTES, THEN THE CITY POLICE OFFICER CAN WRITE THEM A CITATION OF SOME SORT. BUT IF BAY COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL IS 
          [00:35:05]
CALLED, THEN THEY CAN COME AND SAY NO. THE BARK. THE DOG CAN BARK FOR 30 MINUTES WITHOUT GETTING A CITATION. I'M JUST TRYING TO TOTALLY UNDERSTAND IT BECAUSE IT IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE IT'S MAKES ANY SENSE. SO GENERALLY THE NOISE ORDINANCES ADDRESS LIKE DECIBEL ISSUES. AND SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE I MEAN THAT'S LIKE MUSIC THAT'S ALL SORTS OF THINGS. SO IT'S NOT JUST RELATED TO BARKING. SO I SUPPOSE THERE IS A WORLD WHERE LAW ENFORCEMENT COULD GO OUT AND THEY COULD MEASURE THAT NOISE. AND IT'S NOT IT'S NOT GOING TO SATISFY THE THRESHOLD REQUIREMENT FOR THEM TO GET INVOLVED. WE KNOW WHAT A BARK OR A MEOW SOUNDS LIKE FROM ANIMAL CONTROL. AND SO REGARDLESS OF THE DECIBEL LEVEL, WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THAT AS A NUISANCE ISSUE AND ADDRESS THAT WITH A CIVIL CITATION. SO NOISE IS A MUCH BROADER QUESTION. AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT MUSIC BANDS I DON'T KNOW CONSTRUCTION I MEAN LIKE ALL SORTS OF THINGS SOUND OFF THAT EQUIPMENT. I WOULD AGREE. I STARTED TO BRING HER LETTER, JUST BARK FOR ABOUT 2 OR 3 MINUTES AND SEE IF I COULD GET YOU GUYS TO CHANGE YOUR MIND. SHE'S TOO SWEET. SHE'S TOO SWEET. I CAN'T, I THINK THE 21.2. YEAH. SORRY TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT. YOU'RE GOOD. YEAH. 
          YOU'RE GOOD. 20. I THINK THE 20 MINUTES IS A GOOD COMPROMISE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO BARRING BARRING ANY OTHER SECTIONS, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, BUT THE WE WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST A MOTION TO APPROVE WITH THE CHANGES SET FORTH AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. AS COUNCIL MENTIONED, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS MATTER? OKAY. SEEING NONE. DISCUSSION TO US AND OR MOTION I'LL JUST MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE IT CHANGES THAT. SHE'S ALREADY GOT OKAY WITH THE 20 AS WELL. OR I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. I APPRECIATE YOU TRYING TO MEET ME A LITTLE BIT IN THE MIDDLE ON IT, BUT I THINK JUST THAT MUCH CONTINUOUS BARKING IS I THINK IT'S PROBABLY BAD FOR THE DOG TO GO ON THAT LONG, ESPECIALLY IN SUMMERTIME IN THE HEAT. BUT I GOT SO MANY OTHER THINGS THAT I WANTED TO PUT IN HERE THAT I'M NOT GOING TO BE A STICKLER ABOUT THIS, AND I JUST HOPE THAT A 30 MINUTE DOG BARK DOESN'T MOVE NEXT DOOR TO ME. ALL RIGHT, WE GOT A MOTION. 
          SECOND MOTION IN MULTIPLE SECONDS. IF YOU WOULD PLEASE CALL THE ROLL COMMISSIONER. 
          PEACE. YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER. RAFAEL. YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER. CROSBY. YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER. CAROL. YES, MA'AM. CHAIRMAN. MOORE. YES, MA'AM. NEXT. COUNTY ATTORNEY AGAIN. COUNSELOR. CARUTHERS. ORDINANCE RELATED TO TEMPORARY BAN ON OPEN BURNING. ALL RIGHT. 
          ITEM 12 IS AN ORDINANCE RELATED TO TEMPORARY BAN ON OPEN BURNING. THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IS PROPOSING AN ORDINANCE REGARDING TEMPORARY BAN ON OPEN BURNING FOR THE COMMISSION'S CONSIDERATION. OPEN BURNING IS DEFINED IN THIS ORDINANCE AS THE BURNING OF TRASH, YARD, TRASH, YARD DEBRIS, CAMPFIRES, BONFIRES, WARMING FIRES, OUTDOOR FIREPLACES, CHIMNEYS. USE OR DISCHARGE OF ITEMS LISTED IN SECTION 791 .01, SUBSECTION FOUR OF THE FLORIDA STATUTES, OR ANY OTHER ACTIVITY WHICH COULD ALLOW FLAMES OR SPARKS THAT COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. HOWEVER, THERE ARE CERTAIN ENUMERATED EXCEPTIONS OUTLINED IN THE ORDINANCE, AS WELL AS FOR PROCEDURE AND DURATION. THIS ORDINANCE WOULD ALLOW THE COUNTY MANAGER OR HIS DESIGNEE TO IMPLEMENT A TEMPORARY BAN ON OPEN BURNING WHEN THERE IS A HIGH FIRE RISK, AND WOULD LAST UNTIL A PARTICULAR TIME WHEN SAFETY ALLOWS, AND THEN NOTICE THAT THE BURN BAN IS BEING IMPLEMENTED WOULD BE PLACED ON THE COUNTY WEBSITE, DISTRIBUTED TO THE STATE, AND DISTRIBUTED TO MEDIA OUTLETS. THIS ORDINANCE DOES NOT AFFECT THE COMMISSION'S ABILITY TO IMPOSE A TEMPORARY BURN BAN AS AN EMERGENCY DECLARATION. UNDER CHAPTER 252 OF THE FLORIDA STATUTES. IN THIS ORDINANCE, THERE IS ALSO A PROVISION FOR ENFORCEMENT, AND A VIOLATION OF THIS ORDINANCE IS PUNISHABLE AS PROVIDED IN SECTION ONE SIX OF OUR CODE. THAT BEING A SECOND DEGREE MISDEMEANOR OR THAT WHICH IS SET FORTH IN 125 .69, SUBSECTION ONE OF THE FLORIDA STATUTES. OUR OFFICE HAS BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH FIRE RESCUE AND THE COUNTY'S PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICE. PRIOR TO THIS PRESENTATION, THE CHIEF OF FIRE RESCUE IS PRESENT AND AVAILABLE TO COMMENT. SHOULD THE BOARD HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS REGARDING SOME OF THE SPECIFICATIONS ON PROCEDURE, BUT HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT IT LOOKS LIKE THAT THERE IS A MEASURABLE STANDARD HERE THAT THERE'S A. THIS IS BASED UPON THE KEETCH BYRAM DROUGHT INDEX. IS THAT CORRECT? YES. BUT IT'S NOT JUST AN ARBITRARY WE THINK WE THINK 
          [00:40:05]
IT'S TOO DRY. NO, IT'S NOT SOMETHING ARBITRARY. WE'VE DREAMED UP. THERE IS AN ACTUAL INDEX. NOW SPECIFICS ON THE INDEXES WOULD BE FOR THE CHIEF TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT. 
          BUT YES. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR COUNCIL OR FOR CHIEF WHO'S SITTING WAY IN THE BACK? I DO. I DON'T MIND MAKING THEM WALK. IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THEM WALK. SO I FEEL LIKE WE WE'RE DONE. WE'VE GOT SO MUCH HURRICANE MICHAEL. FUEL. I WAS GETTING READY TO TRY TO FIND THE RIGHT WORD. FUEL LEFT EVERYWHERE THAT IT IT REALLY ONLY IT ONLY MAKES GOOD SENSE. AND I KNOW SOMEONE'S A LITTLE SMALL LEAF FIRE THAT THEY'RE ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN UP. THEIR YARD SOMETIMES TURNS INTO. 
          A REAL FULL BLOWN FOREST FIRE. SO I THINK WE CERTAINLY NEED TO. MOVE ALONG WITH THIS. AGREED. 
          CHIEF AND STAFF WORKED ON THIS AND APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT IT'S AN AUTOMATIC MECHANISM NOW, AS OPPOSED TO HAVING TO JUMP THROUGH HOOPS TO BE ABLE TO GET IT DONE. AND WE CAN BE RESPONSIVE TO NEEDS. THING. THERE'S NO REAL QUESTIONS. THIS IS PUBLIC HEARING. SO I'M JUST GOING TO OPEN UP. IS THERE ANYONE OUT IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS RIGHT. 
          SEEING NONE. CAN I GET A MOTION. MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND. MOTION. AND SECOND, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. COMMISSIONER CARROLL. YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER CROSBY. YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER. RAFAEL. YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER PIECE. YES, CHAIRMAN. MOORE. YES, 
          [Outside Agencies]
MA'AM. LAST ITEM 13. LUCKY NUMBER 13. ORDINANCE AMENDING THE TAX EXEMPTIONS FOR MAKAMA MARINE LLC. MR. BRYAN LEEBRICK. GOOD MORNING. CHAIRMAN. COMMISSIONERS. SO ABOUT A MONTH AGO OR SO, Y'ALL AUTHORIZED SOME DISCUSSIONS WITH TRIUMPH GULF COAST TO MODIFY THE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS THAT APPLIED TO MARINE. AND THAT HAS COME BACK TO US. TRIUMPH HAS AGREED TO A TWO YEAR EXTENSION OF HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO REACH THEIR JOB TARGETS, AND THOSE PERFORMANCE MEASURES, THE ORIGINAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES WERE IDENTIFIED IN THE ORIGINAL ORDINANCE GRANTING THE TAX EXEMPTION. SO WE NEED TO MODIFY THE TAX EXEMPTION TO REFLECT THE CHANGE IN THE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AS WELL. OKAY. I'M GOING TO ASSUME THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS FROM DAIS. AGAIN, THIS IS PART OF PUBLIC IS. ANYONE IN THE AUDITORIUM WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS? SORRY I FIGURED THERE'S GOING TO BE A PATH. SO I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO SAY IT, SEEING NONE. IF YOU WOULD PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. YES. OH. I'M SORRY. MOTION. I CAN'T MAKE IT. MOTION. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND, THE MOTION TO APPROVE. AND WE'RE FALLING APART HERE ON LUCKY NUMBER 13. IF YOU WOULD PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

          [PUBLIC COMMENT (Open to any issue)]
YES, MA'AM. CHAIRMAN. MOORE. YES, MA'AM. ALL RIGHT, NOW, PUBLIC COMMENT. THIS IS OPEN TO ANY ISSUE WHICH YOU THINK THE COUNTY COMMISSION HAS AUTHORITY OVER. IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. DEREK THOMAS, 1100 WEST 10TH STREET. THANK YOU FOR THE DOG BARKING ORDINANCE. I ALSO LIKE DOGS. I MYSELF A BIRD PERSON, I, I HAVE I'VE ALWAYS HAD BIRDS AROUND WHAT I WAS BRINGING UP ORIGINALLY ABOUT THE BUG SPRAY AND THE KILLING OF THE INSECTS. I TO HAVE TO WATCH A DOVE WALKING AROUND AND AROUND AND AROUND IN CIRCLES. I MEAN, DOVES DO A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, STUPID LOOKING STUFF, BUT TO SEE ONE JUST WALKING AROUND AND AROUND AND AROUND FOR 20 MINUTES, JUST IN A VERY TIGHT CIRCLE, AND THEN TRY TO TAKE OFF AND CRASH OVER AND OVER AGAIN, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT JUST REALLY BOTHERS ME. AND I, I KNOW THAT THE BUG SPRAY IS SOMETHING THAT FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE, THEY'RE AFRAID OF MALARIA OR WHATEVER IT IS. I DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S A REALLY BIG PROBLEM AT THIS LATITUDE, BUT I'VE SEEN HOW THIS STUFF CHANGES OVER TIME IN THIS AREA. AND WHEN YOU'RE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE STUFF LIKE THE, THE, THE SEDIMENT AND THE WATER, THERE'S ALSO THE CHEMICALS THAT YOU 
          [00:45:04]
REALLY HAVE TO BE PAYING ATTENTION TO. I LIVE IN BETWEEN HERE IN THE BAY AND AFTER THE BP, LIKE A YEAR AFTER THAT, ALL ALONG BEACH DRIVE, THE WATER COMING OUT OF THE HILL THAT WAS PUMPED UP OUT OF THE GROUND WOULD HAVE OIL IN IT. AND WHEN IT WOULD POOL ON THE SIDEWALK AND STUFF, YOU COULD SEE THE OIL. AND I KNOW THAT THE COREXIT CAUSES BRAIN DAMAGE AND BIRTH DEFECTS. AND I'M JUST HOPING THAT YOU I KNOW THE OYSTER BEDS HAVE CRASHED A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK. I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY'RE DOING THESE DAYS, BUT IF YOU COULD JUST I MEAN, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US. THE MORE PLANT LIFE IN THE WATER, THE WORSE IT IS FOR THE FISH AND THE LESS ORGANIC STUFF OUT THERE IN THE WATER, THE WORSE IT IS FOR THE OYSTERS AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WE ALL NEED IT. I THINK IF YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THE FISH THAT YOU'RE CATCHING AND YOU'RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE ALGAE AND THE MICROSCOPIC ANIMALS IN THE WATER THAT ARE FEEDING THE ANIMALS THAT THE FISH ARE EATING, AND, YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T ALL MAKE THIS A BETTER PLACE FOR EVERYONE. AND I HOPE THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS. BUT, YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE THE DOGS. AND FOR ME, SEEING THE BIRDS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE BEES AND THE BUTTERFLIES, I ALSO LIKE GROWING STUFF. AND TO NOW HAVE ALL THE BUTTERFLIES AND BEES PRETTY MUCH WIPED OUT. I'M GLAD YOU'RE NOT, YOU KNOW, SPRAYING THE STUFF WITH HELICOPTERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON ANYMORE, LIKE YOU DID TEN YEARS AGO, 15 YEARS AGO. BUT JUST IF YOU SPENT SOME OF THAT MONEY TO CLEAR OUT THE DEBRIS AND THE DITCHES AND KEEP THE WATER FLOWING AND DO THAT MORE FREQUENTLY, A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT DOESN'T NEED POISON DUMPED INTO IT TO CONTROL THE STUFF. YOU KNOW, JUST CHANGE YOUR LIGHTS NEXT TO YOUR DOOR, TO A YELLOW LIGHT INSTEAD OF A WHITE LIGHT, AND LEAVE SOME OF THE INSECTS IN THE WORLD ALIVE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? YES, SIR. PLEASE COME FORWARD. STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. HELLO. 
          MY NAME IS HENRY GARETH MILLER, THE SECOND. I LIVE AT 10816 HARRISVILLE ROAD. I HAVE SOME PAMPHLETS TO GIVE OUT. COULD YOU SET THEM RIGHT THERE? THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THERE'S BEEN A MAINTENANCE CLAIM THAT WAS PUT ON MY PROPERTY ON SEPTEMBER 20TH OF 2021. ON APRIL 17TH OF 2020, I PURCHASED MY HOME AT 10816 HARRISVILLE ROAD, FREE AND CLEAR OF ANY CLAIMS OF OWNERSHIP. 
          HOWEVER, I DO HAVE AN EASEMENT AGREEMENT WITH MY NEIGHBOR WHO IS LANDLOCKED. IN EARLY 2021, I BEGAN CONSTRUCTION ON A PERIMETER FENCE TO SECURE MY FARM ANIMALS, TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM THE SECTION OF THE PROPERTY THAT LOOKS TO BE, AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AS A COUNTY ROADWAY. 
          OKAY. SHORTLY AFTER INSTALLING THE POST, ESTABLISHING MY PROPERTY PROPERTY BOUNDARY, THE COUNTY'S ROADS AND BRIDGES DEPARTMENT AND BAY COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE CAME TO MY HOUSE AND REMOVED THE POST, DESTROYING SEVERAL OF THEM IN THE PROCESS. AT THIS TIME, THERE WAS NO CLAIM FROM THE COUNTY ON MY PROPERTY, AND THESE ACTIONS WERE DONE UNLAWFUL AND COST ME TIME AND MONEY. I HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN TO MR. MOORE AND MR. MICA ABOUT THIS IN THE PAST. AND AT THAT TIME LATER ON, THEY DID STATE THEY WERE GOING TO MAINTAIN THAT PORTION OF THE ROADWAY. HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT EXPLAIN TO ME THAT THEY WERE GOING TO GO AND PUT A CLAIM AGAINST MY PROPERTY TO MAKE THAT A ROADWAY. YOU UNDERSTAND, AT THAT TIME, THERE WAS NOT ANY CLAIM. I HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN LIKE I SAID TO THEM IN AUGUST OF 2021. I RETAINED A LAWYER TO HANDLE THESE ISSUES. FOR ME, HOWEVER, I'M JUST NOW FINDING OUT THAT THE MAINTENANCE CLAIM WAS ISSUED AS OF APRIL 22ND OF THIS YEAR, AFTER THE SUPERVISOR OF THE ROADS AND BRIDGES CREW CAME AND FLAGGED OUT A PORTION OF MY PROPERTY. WITHOUT MY UNDERSTANDING, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED AND SERVED AND HAD MY CHANCE TO SPEAK ON THIS AND GIVE MY OBJECTION TO THIS BEING DONE. I'M HERE TODAY TO ASK THAT THE COUNTY RELEASE THEIR CLAIM ON MY PROPERTY AT 10816, AND THAT A VOTE BE TAKEN TO REVERSE THAT. THAT WAS DONE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2021. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO THE REASONS I DON'T BELIEVE THE CLAIMS SHOULD BE IN PLACE IS THERE IS NO PUBLIC USE BEYOND MY PROPERTY OTHER THAN MR. MILLER'S, WHICH IS MY NEIGHBOR, WHOM I HAVE AN EASEMENT AGREEMENT WITH, THE LIABILITY THAT IT'S POSSIBLY COULD COST ME IF SOMEONE WERE TO GET INJURED ON THAT PORTION OF MY PROPERTY, AND ONLY STATE THAT BECAUSE A GENTLEMAN CAME DOWN A WHILE BACK, WRECKED HIS MOTORCYCLE, SAID YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE ANYWAY, THIS IS MY PROPERTY. AND HE SAID, WELL, THEN I'LL JUST SUE YOUR. AND I'M LIKE, OKAY. 
          [00:50:03]
AND THEN I NEED TO DO SOMETHING. AND THAT'S WHY I'M HERE TODAY, IS TO GET THAT DONE. THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN, FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANYONE ELSE? ALL RIGHT? SEEING NONE. COUNTY 
          [COUNTY ATTORNEY REPORT]
ATTORNEY'S REPORT. GOOD MORNING. I'VE BEEN PROVIDING SOME UPDATES FOR THE COMMISSIONERS REGARDING THE GULF WORLD BANKRUPTCY FROM TIME TO TIME. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU ALL KNOW THAT WE'RE GETTING READY TO ENTER INTO AN ENGAGEMENT LETTER WITH A BANKRUPTCY ATTORNEY IN DELAWARE THAT WILL KIND OF MONITOR THE PROCEEDINGS AND KEEP US INFORMED OF WHAT'S GOING ON AND, IF NECESSARY, TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ANY HEARINGS. THE FOCUS OF THEIR ATTENTION WILL BE ON GULF WORLD AND THE ANIMAL WELFARE ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. AND WE HAVE BEEN HAVING SOME MEETINGS WITH THE DEBTOR IN POSSESSION OF THAT PROPERTY AND SOME THINGS THEY'RE DOING TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE DOLPHIN POOL. AND THEY'VE ALREADY, AS YOU PROBABLY READ IN THE PAPER, THEY'VE ALREADY REMOVED SOME SEA LIONS THAT WERE ON THE PROPERTY THAT TO MOVE IT TO ANOTHER LOCATION BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE CONCERNS ABOUT THE, THE, THE. THE PENS THAT THEY WERE IN. SO NEXT COUPLE DAYS, WE'LL PROBABLY BE SIGNING AN ENGAGEMENT LETTER WITH THE TO PROVIDE US WITH SOMEBODY WHO CAN ACTUALLY GO TO COURT AND KEEP US INFORMED OF THE PROGRESS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY MANAGER'S 
          [CHAIRMAN & COMMISSIONER COMMENTS]

MOTHER'S DAY IS COMING UP SUNDAY. GO LOVE ON YOUR MAMA IF YOU'RE BLESSED TO STILL HAVE HER. I'M BLESSED TO STILL HAVE MINE. IRON MAN COMING UP. THAT'S A BIG DEAL. I THINK EVERYBODY HERE EXCEPT MYSELF IS ENROLLED IN THIS PROGRAM. I KNOW COMMISSIONER AND CHAIRMAN MOORE WILL BE DOING ENJOYING THE BIKE RIDE. MAY 10TH IS A 1.2 MILE SWIM, A 56 MILE BIKE RIDE, AND A 13 MILE RUN. IF YOU EVER SEE DANIEL RAFAEL RUNNING 13 MILES, SOMEBODY CHASING ME, JUST SO YOU KNOW. ALSO TOO. YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. AND I'VE HAD A BUSY WEEK IN MY DISTRICT. WE HAVE BEEN FROM HIGH POINT LANDING ALL THE WAY TO 12TH STREET, ALL THE WAY, JUST ALMOST INTO CHAIRMAN MOORE'S DISTRICT, SEEING PEOPLE AND FIXING SOME STUFF THROUGHOUT MY DISTRICT. SO YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S BEEN A GREAT WEEK SO FAR. AND IT'S ONLY TUESDAY AND IT'S ONLY TUESDAY. IT'S EXCITING. THANK YOU COMMISSIONER. PEACE. YES THANK YOU. I WAS ALSO HAD MY NOTES HERE FOR GULF WAR. GULF WORLD. WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT GULF WORLD. AND WE'RE STAYING ENGAGED WITH THE DEBTOR IN POSSESSION. WE HAVE OFFERED UP SEVERAL THINGS THAT WE CAN TRY TO HELP THEM WITH LOCALLY. ROBERT SUPPLIED US WITH A SURVEY, AN OLD SURVEY OF THE PIPE THAT GOES OUT TO THE GULF. SO SOME NAMES OF FOLKS THAT COULD, YOU KNOW, CHECK THE PIPE FOR THEM AND MAKE SURE THEY'RE NOTHING'S CLOGGED IN THE PIPE, CAUSING SOME OF THEIR PROBLEMS. I'VE CONNECTED THEM WITH THE WITH SOME PEOPLE THAT CAN HELP CLEAN THEIR SAND FILTERS AND HELP THEM WITH PUMPS. AGAIN, THE SEA LINES THAT WERE IN THE CONTAINMENT AREAS THAT WERE NOT NECESSARILY MEETING CODE OR JUST SAFE FOR THE ANIMALS HAVE BEEN RELOCATED. SO WE MAINLY WANTED LIKE LIKE BRIAN HAS ALREADY GONE THROUGH. WE WANTED TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH THE BANKRUPTCY COURT SO THAT WE COULD HAVE SOME SORT OF A. CONTINUED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE WELFARE OF THE ANIMALS AND WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THEM. AND SO WE ARE WE'RE STAYING WE'RE STAYING CLOSE TO THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF THERE IS SOMETHING WE CAN HELP WITH LOCALLY, THAT THAT WE'RE ASSISTING THEM WITH, THAT WE ARE SPRING BREAK. SO WE'RE MEETING WITH LEADERS HERE IN THE REAL NEAR FUTURE. LAW 
          [00:55:05]
ENFORCEMENT AND MAYOR AND SO FORTH, TO DISCUSS WHAT WENT ON DURING SPRING BREAK AND TRY TO COME UP WITH THE IDEAS THAT THEY ALL HAVE, OR SHARE ALL OF THE PROBLEMS AND HOW THEY COMBATED THEM, AND HOW TO COME UP WITH SOME NEW WAYS TO HANDLE SPRING BREAK. WE AFTER THAT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PROBABLY MULTIPLE MEETINGS WITH SHAREHOLDERS, FOLKS THAT ARE IN THIS BUSINESS, BEEN IN IT FOR MANY YEARS AND TRY TO GET THEIR TAKE ON ON WHAT'S GOING ON. AND IT'S, IT'S SUCH A, A HUGE ISSUE. WE HAD IT UNDER CONTROL, HAD IT BY THE THROAT AND NOW IT'S, IT'S REARED ITS UGLY HEAD AGAIN. AND WE WERE WE HAD A ROUGH SPRING BREAK OUT THERE. YOU KNOW, I WAS ACTUALLY ON THE BEACH DAY AND NIGHT AND THE HUGE CROWDS THAT YOU SAW DOWN THERE, I WALKED DOWN THERE AND WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CROWDS. I WANTED TO JUST REALLY FEEL WHAT IT WAS ABOUT AND WHAT THESE, YOU KNOW, AND I'LL TELL YOU THAT MOST OF THOSE KIDS THAT WERE ON THAT BEACH WERE VERY NICE AND POLITE AND WOULD SPEAK TO THE OFFICERS THAT WERE DOWN THERE. THERE WAS NO NOTHING CRAZY GOING ON. BUT THE SHEER NUMBER OF PEOPLE IS THE SCARY PART OF IT. IF ONE THING HAD TO HAPPEN, ONE PERSON PULLED OUT A GUN, ONE FIGHT, THEN PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN TRAMPLED. 
          AND SO WE DEFINITELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT, WE'VE GOT TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING DIFFERENT. AND WE'RE GOING TO WE ARE ALL TRYING TO COME UP WITH ANY IDEAS. SO I ENCOURAGE ANYONE THAT HAS AN IDEA, LARGE OR SMALL, TO PLEASE CALL ME, EMAIL ME AND LET ME TAKE IT TO THESE MEETINGS. SO IF YOU'RE A PART OF A ASSOCIATION OR A CONDOMINIUM HOTEL THAT BRINGS, YOU KNOW, LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE TO THE BEACH, WE REALLY WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU AND ANYONE ELSE UP HERE THAT MIGHT WANT TO TELL ME WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND. YOU KNOW, WE CAN TRY TO GET THOSE TO THE TO THE MEETINGS. JUST THE IDEAS. IF YOU CAN GET THOSE TO STAFF AND THEY CAN COMBINE THOSE AND WE CAN GET THOSE TO THE MEETING. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER CARROLL. YES, SIR. SO THOSE REPEAT VIOLATORS THAT YOU CATCH AT SPRING BREAK WILL MAKE THEM TO LISTEN TO RECORDINGS OF THE DOGS BARKING FOR 30 MINUTES OR 30 MINUTES. BE PRETTY ROUGH. YEAH, I THINK SO. 
          ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE, WE HAD AMNESTY DAYS THIS PAST WEEKEND. HOPEFULLY EVERYONE HAD A CHANCE TO CLEAN THEIR GARAGE OUT TONIGHT. ARNOLD HIGH SCHOOL, THEY ARE IN REGIONAL FINALS. 
          THEY WON LAST NIGHT. THEY WIN TONIGHT AND THEY ARE GOING TO BE GOING TO THE STATE PLAYOFFS. 
          DEAN BOZEMAN IS ALSO IN THE REGIONAL FINALS. THEY WERE NOT AS SUCCESSFUL LAST NIGHT, BUT WE'RE ROOTING FOR THEM FOR THEM TO WIN TONIGHT. SO IF YOU WANT TO GO OUT AND WATCH GOOD BASEBALL 7:00 TONIGHT, ARNOLD HIGH SCHOOL DO WANT TO SAY HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE MOTHERS. 
          I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO SAY HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO MY WIFE. WE CELEBRATED 29 YEARS. I KNOW I LOOKED LIKE YOU, BUT SHE DOES NOT LOOK LIKE SHE'S BEEN MARRIED FOR 29 YEARS. LASTLY, ITEM SIX. 
          WE APPROVED THE FIRE STATION CONTRACT TODAY. THAT IS INCREDIBLE THAT WE'RE GETTING ANOTHER NEW FIRE STATION. NOT EVERY DAY THAT WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD A FIRE STATION TO PROVIDE MORE SERVICE AND PROTECT OUR CITIZENS. SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. ABOUT A YEAR FROM NOW, WE'LL BE OUT THERE WITH THE RIBBON CUTTING. SO THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. 
          CERTAINLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. AND SEEING THE PHOTO THAT YOUR WIFE POSTED OF THE TWO OF Y'ALL FROM WHEN YOU FIRST GOT MARRIED TO NOW, THE ONLY THING I'LL SAY IS YOUR HAIRCUT IS THE EXACT SAME. IT JUST WENT FROM IT WENT FROM BLACK TO WHITE. BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, CONGRATULATIONS ON THE 29 YEARS I ACTUALLY HAD THAT IN MY COMMENTS. I WAS GOING TO SAY CONGRATS ON 29 YEARS. AND THEN TO TEACHER APPRECIATION IN MY HOUSE. IT'S TEACHER APPRECIATION. EVERY DAY SINCE I'M MARRIED TO A TEACHER, SHE'S HAPPY THAT SHE'S ALMOST DONE WITH THE SCHOOL YEAR. THEN FROM THAT, ON A MORE SOMBER NOTE, DID A HAD A FRIEND WHO PASSED AWAY RECENTLY. I SERVE ON THE BOARD OF THE HANEY FOUNDATION, AND RECENTLY WE'VE HAD TWO VERY DEAR FRIENDS TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO THE HANEY FOUNDATION PERSONALLY FORGOT TO MENTION IT. WHEN MR. HANEY PASSED AWAY BACK IN MARCH, YOU KNOW, HE AND HIS FAMILY, OBVIOUSLY, HANEY IS NAMED AFTER HIS FAMILY. THEY'VE DONE A LOT FOR THIS COMMUNITY AND THEN HAD THE OPPORTUNITY, ALONG WITH COMMISSIONER CARROLL, TO GO TO A CELEBRATION OF LIFE FOR MR. BILL FENIMORE YESTERDAY, WHO PASSED AWAY, GOT TO KNOW HE WAS VERY ACTIVE WITH THE HANEY FOUNDATION AND JUST IN COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT THESE THINGS HAPPEN, BUT IT JUST SPEAKS TO OUR COMMUNITY THAT, YOU KNOW, 
          [01:00:01]
MR. TED GREW UP HERE. BILL MOVED HERE. BUT HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON WHATEVER LEVEL IT IS YOU CHOOSE. SO I GUESS FROM MY STANDPOINT, I WOULD SAY INVEST IN YOUR COMMUNITY AND YOU'LL GET RETURNS OUT OF IT, WHETHER IT'S SITTING UP HERE RUNNING FOR PUBLIC OFFICE OR JUST DOING SOMETHING IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, JUST MAKEA SURE YOU WORK TO TRY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR THOSE THAT ARE AROUND YOU, TO MAKE THIS PLACE A BETTER PLACE, BECAUSE IT IS A WONDERFUL PLACE WE HAVE FROM COVID. I HAVE SAID THIS MANY TIMES. WE HAVE BEEN FOUND. WE ARE GROWING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS, AND I CAN SPEAK FOR THE OTHER FOUR THAT SIT UP ON THIS DAIS. WE ARE ALL VERY FOCUSED ON THAT. WE'RE TRYING TO DO WHAT WE CAN TO MANAGE THAT GROWTH AND TRY TO MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE STILL THE REASON WHY PEOPLE MOVE HERE, WHICH IS BECAUSE WE'RE A GOOD COMMUNITY, WE'RE A FRIENDLY COMMUNITY, AND WE HAVE GREAT PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES FROM FIRE, SHERIFF AND EVERYTHING ELSE. SO WITH THAT,
