THERE WILL BE ANOTHER TIME TO SPEAK ABOUT OTHER ITEMS AT THE END. SO THE ITEMS THAT ARE ON THE AGENDA, UNLESS IT'S PART OF THE PUBLIC HEARING. WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO SPEAK? IF SO, PLEASE COME FORWARD, GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES. MY NAME IS CAPTAIN GARY WAYNE BECK. I LIVE AT 2601 BEECH STREET. THE ITEM I LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT IS THREE THE FEES AND FINES BEING IMPOSED UPON THE PEOPLE BY THE BUILDING SERVICES. AND THESE FINES ARE ILLEGAL. THEY COME AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS.
YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN TAKING THESE FINES AND YOU'VE BEEN DESTROYING PEOPLE'S HOMES, AND NOW YOU'RE GOING TO TELL ME THAT YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE THE SAME PEOPLE THAT YOU'VE BEEN USING TO TAKE THE PROPERTY THAT'S TAKEN, THE PROPERTY THAT THEY TAKE, AND SELLING IT FOR THEIR OWN PERSONAL GAIN. THEN YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE THE SAME PEOPLE THAT'S USING THE FACT THAT THEY'RE USING THE CODE ENFORCEMENT TO IMPOSE LIENS ON THEIR PROPERTY SO THEY CAN COME BACK AND TAKE THE PROPERTY WITH THE LIENS FOR TAKING THEIR PROPERTY AND THE LIENS FOR CHARGING THEM, AND THEN DESTROYING THEIR PROPERTY, AND THEN THEY END UP ON THE STREET.
HOW CAN YOU SAY THIS IS NOT ILLEGAL? I MEAN, I'VE BEEN A VICTIM OF IT TIME AND TIME AND TIME AGAIN, BUT YET I'M THE POSTER BOY OF YOUR GUYS, THE ONE YOU LIKE TO WHIP WHENEVER YOU PRIDE YOURSELVES IN DESTROYING THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS TO SUCH A DISGRACE BECAUSE YOU HAVE DESTROYED ANOTHER PERSON'S HOME IN THIS TOWN, AND YOU USE AN ALPHA QUEERS AND ALPHA FREAKING QUEER SHERIFF'S OFFICERS TO DO SO. YOU CANNOT CONTINUE TO DESTROY PEOPLE'S HOMES TO SUCH A MANNER THAT THEY'RE ON THE STREET. THEY CAN'T SURVIVE. AND, AND SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER, YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO ASSESS MORE FINES OR ARE YOU TRYING TO ARE YOU TRYING TO HIDE THE FACT OF THE WAY Y'ALL LAUNDERING THE MONEY FOR THE PROPERTIES AND FOR THE FOR THE FINES THAT YOU'RE TAKING AND THE MATERIALS THAT YOU'RE TAKING OFF, THE PEOPLE'S PROPERTIES THAT YOU'RE SELLING? YOU KNOW, I JUST WENT IN FRONT OF JUDGE TRACEY SMITH YESTERDAY AND ONCE AGAIN, I GOT SHUFFLED ANOTHER BUNCH. BUT, YOU KNOW, I TOLD HER, HEY, LOOK, IF YOU'LL JUST LOOK IN A FREAKING NELSON HEARING THAT I FILED WITH LAURA MCCARTHY, YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO GET THE ALMIGHTY LAWYER THAT I YOU KNOW, I HAVE A PRETTY BLATANT CASE OF RACKETEERING BECAUSE THERE AIN'T NO WAY YOU CAN COME AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS. THAT'S THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND. AND WHEN I WAS IN THE COURTS, WHENEVER THEY'RE OPPOSING THE FINES ON ME FOR WHAT THEY PUT ON MY PROPERTY, WHAT THE THIS QUASI JUDICIAL JUDGE DO, AS SOON AS I MADE THE POINT OF THE CONSTITUTION AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS, WHICH IS THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND, THEY USED THAT GOOD LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER
[00:10:05]
OVER THERE TO ENFORCE THEIR WILL UPON THE PEOPLE. RIGHT ONCE. AND THIS OFFICER OVER HERE, I'M PRETTY SURE HE UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS, BUT THAT'S A REPEATED PATTERN OF HOW YOU GUYS USE THE SHIELDS TO OVERRIDE OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, FORCING COPS THAT ARE GOOD COPS PUTTING THEIR LIVES IN DANGER. BECAUSE I KNOW HOW MAD I WAS WHEN THEY TOOK MY DADDY'S HAMMER. YOU KNOW, THEY TOOK THE TOOLS AND THE SWEAT EQUITY AND EVERYTHING OUT OF MY HOME THAT EVERY TIME I TRIED TO GET MY HOUSE IN GOOD SHAPE, I GET HIT WITH A JOHN DEERE. I GET HIT WITH KUBOTA. YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES MY HOUSE HAS BEEN HIT WITH KUBOTA TAKING MY ROCKS, TAKING MY FLOWER GARDEN, TAKING MY WALLS, TAKING MY TOOLS, TAKING MY FISHING POLES. YOU KNOW HOW I MAKE MY LIFE JUST LIKE I'VE BEEN DOING EVERYBODY ELSE.YOU'VE BEEN TAKING EVERYTHING THEY USED TO MAKE THEIR LIFE, YOU KNOW. AND HERE I AM SAYING, WHAT ARE Y'ALL DOING? HOW COME YOU DOING THIS TO BAY COUNTY? THANK YOU. WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK? OKAY. SEEING NONE, WE WILL MOVE OVER TO THE CONSENT AGENDA. JOEL SCHUBERT.

FOR ANYTHING THAT IS NOT WASN'T ON THE AGENDA YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO US ABOUT. COME FORWARD, GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS MIKE NOBLES JUNIOR. I LIVE AT 6327 SOUTH LAGOON DRIVE IN PANAMA CITY. AND I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF MY FATHER AND MY MOTHER, WHO HAD PURCHASED A PROPERTY ON 100 AND 305 HEATHER LANE AND VILLE ROAD. IT'S JUST SOUTH OF YOUNGSTOWN. IT'S IN DISTRICT FOUR. THE REASON I'M HERE IS BECAUSE THIS IS AN UNDEVELOPED PROPERTY THAT WE PLAN TO DEVELOP, BUILD A HOUSE ON, AND IT'S UNCLEARED, BUT WE NEED TO BUILD A CULVERT. WE ALREADY PAID FOR A PERMIT BUT HAVEN'T RECEIVED IT YET BECAUSE NO AGREEMENT CAN BE ARRIVED. WHAT IT IS, IS THEY WANT ME TO PUT 348 INCH DIAMETER PIPES UNDER A CULVERT OR 260 INCH DIAMETER PIPES IN A CULVERT THAT I COULD JUST ABOUT WALK ACROSS. AND I MEAN A DITCH. I COULD JUST ABOUT STEP ACROSS. THERE'S NO WAY I COULD POSSIBLY FIT SOMETHING THAT LARGE AND SOMETHING THAT SHALLOW AND SMALL. NOW HERE'S THE DILEMMA. HEATHER'S A DEAD END LANE UP HERE, AND THERE'S JUST A LITTLE SMALL DITCHES RIGHT HERE THAT RUNS SOUTH, ALL RUN SOUTH AND RUNS WEST. THESE CULVERTS UP HERE ARE JUST LITTLE 18 INCH 20 INCH PIPES. THEY RUN DOWN, BUT NOW THERE'S TWO LARGE 48 INCH PIPES RUNNING DIAGONAL UNDERNEATH HEATHER LANE HERE. AND THEN HERE'S A VERY SMALL LITTLE IMPRESSION, BUSHES AND ALL THAT RUNS TO A NEIGHBOR'S LITTLE POND. IT'S ABOUT 30FT IN DIAMETER. IT'S LIKE A LITTLE HAND-DUG POND LEADS NOWHERE. IT RUNS SOUTH. AND DOWN HERE ARE THREE MASSIVE 48 INCH PIPES THAT CONJOIN THESE DITCHES HERE. NOW, THIS DITCH TO THE EAST OF IT IS LIKE THESE UP HERE, VERY SMALL. I COULD STEP ACROSS IT. IT'S GOT LITTLE 18 INCH CULVERT, 20 INCH. THAT'S IT LEADING TO THIS. THIS IS ALL DRY. THIS THESE DITCHES HERE ALONG VEAL AND HEATHER. NOW THIS ALL LEADS TO ONE 148 INCH PIPE. THAT IS MY NEIGHBOR'S LEADING IN HIS PRIVATE ROAD ON VEAL. JUST ONE. SO IF I PUT 348 INCH PIPES, WHICH IS NOT EVEN POSSIBLE, OR 260 INCH PIPES HERE, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, NOT COULDN'T BE DONE, IT WOULDN'T SOLVE ANY PROBLEM AT ALL. IT ALL LEADS TO A SINGLE 48 INCH PIPE, WHICH, BY THE WAY, HAS NEVER PRESENTED A PROBLEM WITH FLOW IN THIS DITCH. THE NEIGHBORS THERE HAVE NEVER SEEN WATER MORE THAN SIX SIX INCHES DEEP AND TWO FEET WIDE IN THE BOTTOM OF THIS LITTLE DITCH. EVEN DURING THE WORST OF WEATHER WE'VE EVER HAD. AND AS OF NOW, IT'S DRY AS A BONE. AND WHAT I'M ASKING AND I'VE HAD BACK AND FORTH WITH THE ENGINEER IN CHARGE OF THIS, MAY I HAVE PERMISSION TO CONTINUE? I'LL TELL YOU WHAT WE CAN DO IS IF YOU WILL STAY BACK AFTER THE MEETING. YES, MA'AM. LET US TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT AND GET THE REST OF. I KNOW YOU HAVE SOME OTHER THINGS YOU WANT TO SAY. YES, LISTEN TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY, AND THEN WE'LL GET WITH STAFF AND TRY TO FIND OUT
[00:30:02]
WHAT'S. YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOING ON. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THE BOARD FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU SIR. ALL RIGHT. WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK? YES, MA'AM. OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. BENNETT. GOOD MORNING. COMMISSION. OKAY. TODAY I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. OH. I'M SORRY. YES THAT'S CORRECT. YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S MICHELLE CARTER AND IT'S 3124 EAST BALDWIN ROAD, PANAMA CITY, FLORIDA 32405.SORRY ABOUT THAT. TODAY I WANT TO TALK ABOUT PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION HERE IN BAY COUNTY. THE BUS SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE. I RIDE THE BUSSES, AND I HAVEN'T HAD A CAR IN SEVERAL YEARS AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO MAINTAIN A CAR. AND I LIVE ABOUT TWO MILES FROM THE CLOSEST BUS STOP, AND THAT'S AT THE MALL. SO I USUALLY WILL PICK UP THE SEVEN ON MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS AT 3:00. I DON'T USUALLY GET ON THE FOUR NOW BECAUSE THE NUMBER SEVEN BUS, IT'S ALWAYS RUNNING BEHIND SCHEDULE. AND I BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU HAVE A FIXED ROUTE BUS SYSTEM, THEY SHOULD RUN ON TIME. AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS WITH BUSSES TO GET THEM TO RUN ON TIME IS YOU HAVE TO HAVE RED LANES. AND THEY'VE DONE THAT. AND IT'S, IT'S HELPED. I'VE RIDDEN THE BUSSES OVER THE YEARS OFF AND ON, BUT WE NEED RED LANES GOING AROUND PIER PARK. AND I ACTUALLY WHERE I TOOK MY PICTURE YESTERDAY, THERE WAS A GUY WAITING AN HOUR FOR THE BUS AND I GOT HIM IN THE PICTURE, AND I WAS RIDING MY BIKE YESTERDAY AND I RODE ALL THE WAY FROM NAUTILUS, WENT AROUND THE THE BACKSIDE, RODE THROUGH THE PARKS, AND THEN I CAME OUT AND WENT DOWN SAN SUSHI AND THEN STARTED DRIVING BECAUSE I STARTED BIKING AND I WANTED TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. AND RIGHT AFTER YOU GET BY THE ROUNDABOUT, THERE ARE TONS OF CARS JUST PILED UP AND IT'S 40 AFTER 640. THAT BUS IS SUPPOSED TO LEAVE. IT'S ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO LEAVE AT 630, BUT THE DISPATCHER SAID IT'S BEEN LEAVING AT 640 ON THE FROM THE WINN-DIXIE, AND IT'S NOT MAKING IT. AND SO I THINK RED LINING WOULD BE GOOD. AND THERE'S ANOTHER SUGGESTION I HAVE CUTTING THAT ROUTE, MAKING IT JUST GO TO THE CAROUSEL BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE FLEX BUSSES THAT PICK UP PEOPLE ALREADY FROM THE ALDI AND THEY GO TO 30 A. SO I'M THINKING THAT MAYBE THE FLEX BUSSES COULD PICK UP ALL THE PEOPLE. THERE'S SEVEN STOPS IN BETWEEN THERE AND THEN DROP THEM OFF AT THE CAROUSEL AND THEN HAVE THE BUS JUST GO TO THE CAROUSEL, BECAUSE THAT'S A TEN MINUTE DELAY AND THAT'S TEN MINUTES OFF. THE BUS WAS A HALF AN HOUR LATE. I WAS AT STOP 430 WHERE THE FOUNTAIN BLUE TERRACE WAS. I WAITED OVER THERE AND THE BUS IS COMING HALF AN HOUR LATE. MR. SCHUBERT, YOU HELPED ME WITH THAT OTHER ISSUE. THEY ARE HOLDING THE BUSSES LIKE THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD. THEY'RE. THEY HELD ALL OF THEM.
THERE WERE 23 PEOPLE ON THE BUS ON SUNDAY AND ON THE SEVEN. AND EVERYBODY NEEDED DIFFERENT BUSSES. SO THEY DID HOLD ALL THE BUSSES. AND THEY'RE RUNNING AT LEAST A HALF AN HOUR BEHIND.
IT'S BEEN GETTING TO THE STOP. 255 AT 30 AFTER. SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY, IF I COULD HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME FOR YOU TO WRAP IT UP. I'M SORRY. OKAY. THREE MINUTES. I JUST WANT TO SEE THE BUS NUMBER SEVEN START RUNNING ON TIME. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR COMING UP. THANK YOU. WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK? IN FACT. MY NAME IS CAPTAIN GARY WAYNE BECK.
I LIVE AT 2601 BEECH STREET. CLARA, ONCE AGAIN, I BRING YOU GREETINGS FROM DAVE BROWN. MR. CERF, AND I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I'VE CHANGED THE NAME OF MY LAST CHANCE SURF RESCUE TO THE THE DAVE BROWN SURF RESCUE. THE MR. SURF RESCUE IN HONOR OF DAVE BROWN. WE'RE DOING AS BEST I CAN TO KEEP IT GOING. DURING THE MEANTIME, DAVE BROWN, HE SAID SOMETHING REALLY WISE A FEW MINUTES AGO HE SAID, GARY, YOU'VE BEEN GOING IN CIRCLES FOR A LONG, LONG, LONG TIME, YOU KNOW, AND WE GOT ALL THESE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT THAT COUNT THE PENNIES IN MY POCKET, AND THEY PRIDE THEMSELVES ON KEEPING ME DOWN. YOU KNOW, I, I CAN'T HELP BUT NOTICE, YOU KNOW, THEY SAY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR WORK? WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR WORK? YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST HOW MANY YEARS NOW I'VE BEEN UPHOLDING THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS, YOU KNOW, AND I'VE WATCHED THIS GOVERNMENT DESECRATE EVERY RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE. IT SUCKS, BECAUSE I HAVE OTHER THINGS THAT I'D RATHER BE DOING. I'D LIKE TO BE ON THAT YACHT SOMEWHERE, YOU KNOW, OR BE ON THE WATER SEA SICK, YOU KNOW?
[00:35:02]
BUT WHAT AM I DOING? YOU KNOW, AM I SUPPOSED TO TURN AWAY FROM EVERYTHING THAT MY FOREFATHERS FOUGHT AND DIED FOR? YOU KNOW, THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY. WE GOT THE CODE ENFORCEMENT TAKING PICTURES OVER PEOPLE'S PRIVACY FENCE INSIDE THEIR BEDROOM WINDOWS, THEN COMING BACK WITH JOHN DEERE'S REMEMBER AND KUBOTA'S AND TAKING THEIR HAMMERS, THEIR TOOLS, THEIR SWEAT EQUITY. YOU KNOW, DAVE BROWN AND I, WE SAW THE LUMBER, YOU KNOW, WE WHEN HURRICANE MICHAEL HIT, WE GOT IT. WE GOT A SAWMILL AND WE CUT PLANKS, BIG OAK PLANKS, AND WE SEASONED THEM. AND I GOT MY SHARE OF THOSE PLANKS. AND Y'ALL CUT YOUR WAY. YOU KNOW, I CAN PROVE YOU CUT YOUR WAY WITH BOLT CUTTERS AND TOOK MY WOOD. NOT ONLY THAT, YOU TOOK THE HAMMERS AND THE NAILS. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FIX MY HOUSE WHEN YOU KEEP TAKING EVERY TIME I GET A CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT. YOU KEEP TAKING MY MATERIALS AND IT'S NOT HAPPENED ONCE.IT'S HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. YOU KNOW, IN THE LAST TIME Y'ALL WAS THERE, IT WAS A BLOCK PARTY. YOU HAD TRUCKS STRETCHED FROM ONE END OF MY BLOCK TO THE OTHER. ALL OF MY FRIENDS SAYING, DADGUM, THEY'RE DOING IT AGAIN. AND MY NEIGHBORS THAT JUST MOVED IN, THEY'RE LIKE, GARY, HOW COME THEY TOOK DOWN ALL YOUR STUFF? I WAS LIKE, DUDE, THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY WANT TO TAKE MY PROPERTY. YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GOING TO PUT THEY CHARGE ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
THEY GOT SOMEBODY SITTING THERE WITH THEIR HANDS OUT, RIGHT. AND GET THE SHORT SALE. YOU KNOW, DON'T FORGET HOW THEY FORGE MY NAME MULTIPLE TIMES. YOU KNOW, I TRIED TO TELL THE JUDGE, TRIED TO TELL THE SHERIFF, TRIED TO TELL PANAMA CITY BEACH POLICE, YOU KNOW, FORGERY, IF LAST I HEARD, IS A FELONY. AND THEY'RE NOT JUST DOING IT TO ME, THEY'RE DOING IT TO THE OTHER PEOPLE. Y'ALL SHOULD GO OUT ON THE STREETS AND GO TALK TO THE PEOPLE IN THE BUSH, YOU KNOW, OR THE PEOPLE ON THE TROLLEY. YOU KNOW, YOU KEEP HEARING HOW THE CODE ENFORCEMENT SHOWED UP AND CRUSHED THEIR PROPERTY AND TOOK EVERYTHING THEY HAD. AND NOW THEY'RE ON THE STREET, YOU KNOW, AND THEY WORK THEIR WHOLE LIFE FOR IT. KIND OF LIKE THE OLD LADY, $42,000, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, 16,000 TILL THEY TOOK AND THREW IT IN A ROOM AND TOLD HER SHE OWED 42. YOU KNOW, I HATE TO SAY IT LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW, BUT IT'S THE TRUTH.
