Okay. 167 00:07:09.595 --> 00:07:12.365 Attending, attending nearly every district meeting, 168 00:07:13.005 --> 00:07:15.805 respective district two residents ignore district two 169 00:07:15.805 --> 00:07:18.885 meetings unless there is an issue directly affecting a 170 00:07:19.165 --> 00:07:21.485 specific street or neighborhood where they reside. 171 00:07:22.455 --> 00:07:23.765 Maybe is the

is a decision by district two, 175 00:07:30.605 --> 00:07:32.885 supervisor will affect all residents 176 00:07:32.885 --> 00:07:34.045 at one point or another. 177 00:07:34.495 --> 00:07:37.605 Since presidents are set there set, they could change 178 00:07:37.625 --> 00:07:40.485 or re restate rules for de restrictions 179 00:07:40.485 --> 00:07:42.965 and covenants that were originally established 180 00:07:42.985 --> 00:07:45.365 by the developer or the village management 181 00:07:45.385 --> 00:07:46.965 and been in place for many years. 182 00:07:48.035 --> 00:07:50.405 It's important that respected residents attend 183 00:07:50.425 --> 00:07:51.605 all district two meetings. 184 00:07:52.105 --> 00:07:54.605 So all residents have some input or voice 185 00:07:54.825 --> 00:07:57.365 and opinion on all issues that affect each other. 186 00:07:57.715 --> 00:08:02.245 Each resident in district two rules are set by the developer 187 00:08:02.505 --> 00:08:04.605 as areas are developed to install 188 00:08:04.625 --> 00:08:08.805 and maintain harmony in each different village, 189 00:08:09.635 --> 00:08:12.685 thus maintain that area as developed in district two. 190 00:08:12.825 --> 00:08:14.245 Now, mostly is the cost 191 00:08:14.245 --> 00:08:17.965 of maintaining status quo since there's virtually no 192 00:08:18.475 --> 00:08:22.205 current development, number one, regularly scheduled. 193 00:08:22.445 --> 00:08:25.965 District meetings as scheduled are the second Friday 194 00:08:26.185 --> 00:08:28.605 of each month at 9:30 AM 195 00:08:29.665 --> 00:08:32.645 and have virtually no attendance from District two residents 196 00:08:33.315 --> 00:08:37.125 only if there is respective issues affecting specific 197 00:08:37.485 --> 00:08:41.405 residents may maybe the time schedule is a problem, 198 00:08:41.745 --> 00:08:44.205 but everybody should be interested in where they live 199 00:08:44.585 --> 00:08:46.005 and have a significant investment. 200 00:08:46.935 --> 00:08:48.725 There are some issues that are presented 201 00:08:48.725 --> 00:08:51.325 to District two board supervisors for the first time 202 00:08:51.715 --> 00:08:55.125 that require immediate vote by supervisor with little, 203 00:08:55.625 --> 00:08:59.805 if any research of these issues, supervisor are not allowed 204 00:08:59.805 --> 00:09:01.845 to visit sites in violation 205 00:09:01.845 --> 00:09:03.485 or discuss which alleged 206 00:09:04.005 --> 00:09:06.765 violator circumstances of the violation. 207 00:09:07.595 --> 00:09:09.445 Only follow rules as written. 208 00:09:10.805 --> 00:09:14.845 District two board of supervisor must have most supervi must 209 00:09:14.875 --> 00:09:16.805 have most supervisors conclude remedy 210 00:09:17.465 --> 00:09:18.645 for alleged violations. 211 00:09:19.315 --> 00:09:22.205 Sometimes issues are tabled at meetings for the next meeting 212 00:09:22.705 --> 00:09:25.485 or late later dates until more need needed. 213 00:09:25.805 --> 00:09:28.245 Research is accomplished by the deed compliance department, 214 00:09:28.975 --> 00:09:31.845 legal research and evaluation 215 00:09:32.065 --> 00:09:33.085 and communication 216 00:09:33.195 --> 00:09:35.845 with District Architectural Review Committee. 217 00:09:36.515 --> 00:09:39.125 Some issues are settled at specific annual meetings 218 00:09:39.125 --> 00:09:41.765 according to the rules and regulations as 219 00:09:42.085 --> 00:09:45.325 provided for regular village developments within District 220 00:09:45.385 --> 00:09:48.525 two with a consensus of supervisors. 221 00:09:50.225 --> 00:09:52.645 Number three, there are ongoing monthly meetings 222 00:09:52.645 --> 00:09:55.725 that take place chair by only one district two supervisors. 223 00:09:56.075 --> 00:09:57.565 That is no authority to settle. 224 00:09:57.565 --> 00:10:00.485 Ongoing issues, often including in these meetings, 225 00:10:00.545 --> 00:10:02.525 are other individuals that have no authority 226 00:10:02.625 --> 00:10:06.565 or standing in district two that put forth their opinion 227 00:10:06.865 --> 00:10:08.685 to influence residents thinking 228 00:10:09.575 --> 00:10:12.045 these meetings should not settle any pending issue. 229 00:10:12.045 --> 00:10:15.685 Since a single supervisor cannot settle any issue with, 230 00:10:15.795 --> 00:10:19.525 without plurality of all supervisors at formal meetings 231 00:10:19.545 --> 00:10:20.845 to remedy any issue. 232 00:10:21.585 --> 00:10:22.805 Not that they, these seating, 233 00:10:22.815 --> 00:10:26.045 these meetings have little substance since attending chair. 234 00:10:26.065 --> 00:10:28.525 Supers cannot use these discussions at 235 00:10:28.525 --> 00:10:30.165 regular district two meetings. 236 00:10:30.965 --> 00:10:33.885 Residents should bring issues for discussion 237 00:10:33.885 --> 00:10:34.885 to regular meetings. 238 00:10:35.665 --> 00:10:37.885 So district two residents, this is your chance 239 00:10:37.905 --> 00:10:40.845 to get involved in what is happening in our community. 240 00:10:41.345 --> 00:10:44.085 Ask questions,

About the, uh, light fixtures that you wanna replace 307 00:13:39.205 --> 00:13:40.785 Are the, the, the lamp motion? 308 00:13:41.015 --> 00:13:42.265 Yeah. Okay. Now, 309 00:13:42.805 --> 00:13:44.625 Did you already make a commitment 310 00:13:44.625 --> 00:13:46.025 that we're, we're gonna be doing this? 311 00:13:46.165 --> 00:13:48.505 Or is this just a negotiation right now? 312 00:13:49.605 --> 00:13:50.705 That's my first question. 313 00:13:51.325 --> 00:13:53.585 The, let me answer best. 314 00:13:53.665 --> 00:13:57.305 I know how it's, it's, SECO has proposed to us 315 00:13:57.305 --> 00:13:58.945 to sell us the existing, 316 00:13:59.125 --> 00:14:01.585 and Tom is more, knows more about this than anybody. 317 00:14:01.975 --> 00:14:03.345 I'll let him speak to the issue. 318 00:14:03.605 --> 00:14:05.985 But anyway, we don't have as many lamp posts in, 319 00:14:05.985 --> 00:14:07.665 in our district as other districts do it 320 00:14:07.665 --> 00:14:09.625 and are primarily in the bill of neighborhoods. 321 00:14:10.575 --> 00:14:12.185 SECO has proposed to sell these to us, 322 00:14:12.245 --> 00:14:15.865 but it appears to be a, a very unreasonable high cost. 323 00:14:16.365 --> 00:14:18.105 So we're going back in negotiations, 324 00:14:18.125 --> 00:14:21.025 no final decisions we made, whether we wanna buy 'em, 325 00:14:21.025 --> 00:14:22.665 whether we want to put our own up. 326 00:14:22.915 --> 00:14:24.025 We've got many options 327 00:14:24.325 --> 00:14:26.425 and no conclusion have been made up to this Jun 328 00:14:26.705 --> 00:14:27.705 Juncture. That was my first 329 00:14:27.705 --> 00:14:28.745 question. Do I have 330 00:14:28.745 --> 00:14:29.745 A, do you comment? 331 00:14:29.925 --> 00:14:33.105 You, lemme me expand. Yeah. Uh, the, uh, that is correct. 332 00:14:33.105 --> 00:14:34.505 There's no decisions made. 333 00:14:34.565 --> 00:14:37.505 We, the board is only approved moving forward 334 00:14:37.725 --> 00:14:39.105 to do the next step. 335 00:14:39.765 --> 00:14:41.745 Uh, what I have been doing, I'm sort of one 336 00:14:41.745 --> 00:14:42.865 that's heading up the project. 337 00:14:43.515 --> 00:14:45.705 First of all, we have 82 light poles, 338 00:14:45.765 --> 00:14:47.105 and they're both, they're all in patio 339 00:14:47.165 --> 00:14:48.385 villas and Courtyard villas. 340 00:14:49.175 --> 00:14:52.645 Compare that to districts 4, 5, 6, all the way up. 341 00:14:53.155 --> 00:14:55.965 They have an average of about seven to 900 light poles. 342 00:14:55.965 --> 00:14:58.205 And they're all concrete expensive. 343 00:14:58.275 --> 00:15:00.205 Ours are fiberglass and old. 344 00:15:00.985 --> 00:15:05.125 Uh, I have looked at the options of buying light poles 345 00:15:05.825 --> 00:15:10.165 all 82 and having to put in just really 346 00:15:10.685 --> 00:15:14.685 ballpark estimates are that if we buy these light poles, 347 00:15:14.685 --> 00:15:16.685 install 'em with LED fixtures 348 00:15:17.585 --> 00:15:19.725 and trying to figure out how much it's gonna cost 349 00:15:19.745 --> 00:15:21.245 to put 'em in and electricity. 350 00:15:21.865 --> 00:15:26.805 My estimate is that there's a payback of about five to seven 351 00:15:26.825 --> 00:15:29.845 or eight years, which means that over five or seven 352 00:15:29.845 --> 00:15:32.685 or eight years, we would pay what we would pay 353 00:15:32.685 --> 00:15:33.725 for those light poles. 354 00:15:33.725 --> 00:15:36.405 That's what, what we would be paying to seco energy. 355 00:15:36.825 --> 00:15:38.885 And beyond that, then they don't cost much at all. 356 00:15:39.625 --> 00:15:41.845 So if it is advantageous for us to do it, 357 00:15:42.015 --> 00:15:43.525 other districts don't have the same issue. 358 00:15:43.585 --> 00:15:46.885 But we fortunately have it is an easier issue for us. 359 00:15:47.765 --> 00:15:49.185 Uh, I'm setting up a meeting next 360 00:15:49.185 --> 00:15:50.225 week with, uh, Mike Harris. 361 00:15:50.365 --> 00:15:53.625 So we, we have a, a gentleman who lives in district four, 362 00:15:53.625 --> 00:15:56.345 who's been in the industry for about, uh, 30 years. 363 00:15:56.895 --> 00:15:58.545 He's helping out to do some specs 364 00:15:58.565 --> 00:16:00.345 and, uh, so we're just taking a step at a time 365 00:16:00.925 --> 00:16:02.185 and, um, seeing where we go. 366 00:16:02.695 --> 00:16:05.905 Okay.

And, and that issue, I, I raised that one initially 565 00:24:44.005 --> 00:24:45.205 'cause I, or well, there's a, 566 00:24:45.205 --> 00:24:46.765 there's a sink hole in the middle of the thing, 567 00:24:46.985 --> 00:24:49.445 and I, I, I'm not sure who I discussed it, what, 568 00:24:49.705 --> 00:24:52.405 but it appears they, they were on it immediately, 569 00:24:52.945 --> 00:24:56.365 but it appeared that that hole had, for the sake 570 00:24:56.365 --> 00:24:58.085 of a better term, healed itself. 571 00:24:58.665 --> 00:25:01.725 So there's no me, uh, nothing to do about it. 572 00:25:01.725 --> 00:25:04.725 Where the, before we spent several hundred thousand dollars 573 00:25:04.755 --> 00:25:05.925 kept filling up these holes. 574 00:25:06.225 --> 00:25:08.285 But this hole seems to have healed itself. 575 00:25:08.665 --> 00:25:10.925 The pond is still retaining, but we're watching it. 576 00:25:11.185 --> 00:25:13.525 And so we're staying keeping on top of it. 577 00:25:15.305 --> 00:25:17.285 Is this going to be a recurring problem, 578 00:25:17.775 --> 00:25:18.775 Ma'am? I have no idea. 579 00:25:18.775 --> 00:25:21.365 I mean, should they move 580 00:25:21.365 --> 00:25:22.365 The pond? I don't 581 00:25:22.365 --> 00:25:24.405 know. Well, you see, no, the, the pond is there 582 00:25:24.405 --> 00:25:26.965 for a purpose, but you know, I, it's not, 583 00:25:26.985 --> 00:25:29.045 we can't predict when you're gonna have the next sink hole. 584 00:25:29.425 --> 00:25:32.405 So we're, you know, we, we we're obligated to fix them. 585 00:25:32.875 --> 00:25:35.925 This one heal itself. So it's, we're stable. 586 00:25:35.975 --> 00:25:36.925 We've got water in there. 587 00:25:42.395 --> 00:25:45.205 Yeah. Bruce, can you come up and address that issue please? 588 00:25:45.975 --> 00:25:47.605 Bruce brought assistant district manager. 589 00:25:48.905 --> 00:25:52.885 Sir, wait a minute. I'm here about senior. 590 00:25:53.905 --> 00:25:58.565 That's okay. After he's done, timing is good. 591 00:25:58.565 --> 00:26:00.005 Bruce Brown, assistant district manager. 592 00:26:00.105 --> 00:26:01.325 So that's basin two, three. 593 00:26:01.375 --> 00:26:04.125 We're talking about the, uh, resident 594 00:26:04.125 --> 00:26:05.445 who just talked about is correct. 595 00:26:05.515 --> 00:26:07.285 It's been about six years since there was 596 00:26:07.445 --> 00:26:08.645 a, uh, failure at that basin. 597 00:26:09.265 --> 00:26:10.485 Uh, less than that, 598 00:26:10.485 --> 00:26:14.275 but whatever, according to my stats, six years. 599 00:26:14.415 --> 00:26:16.555 But I, you, whatever you live near 600 00:26:16.555 --> 00:26:17.595 it, so you know better than me. 601 00:26:18.055 --> 00:26:20.675 But, um, it has five depressions in it right now. 602 00:26:20.815 --> 00:26:23.155 It started with two in the center. It's opened up to five. 603 00:26:23.265 --> 00:26:25.675 It's too wet to repair, so we need to let it dry out. 604 00:26:26.295 --> 00:26:27.755 So once it dries out, we'll go in there 605 00:26:27.755 --> 00:26:31.315 and do some geological, uh, inspection and testing of it, 606 00:26:31.815 --> 00:26:33.275 and we will make repairs. 607 00:26:35.485 --> 00:26:39.555 Thank you. Yes, sir. So now we're gonna let that pond drain. 608 00:26:39.575 --> 00:26:41.915 We need, we need that pond, so we need to keep it working. 609 00:26:42.335 --> 00:26:44.845 The, the conclusion is it's a little bit more sign serious 610 00:26:44.875 --> 00:26:46.805 than we had originally thought a couple weeks ago. 611 00:26:48.025 --> 00:26:50.005 Sir, name and address please. Uh, 612 00:26:50.005 --> 00:26:51.005 Patrick Buckley. 1403 613 00:26:51.005 --> 00:26:52.885 Carillo Street. Right. 614 00:26:53.345 --> 00:26:55.245 And, uh, he might have just answered it. 615 00:26:55.305 --> 00:26:58.365 My, I I'm just here to ask the question of where do we go 616 00:26:58.945 --> 00:27:03.725 on, um, on a question asking for resolution to, 617 00:27:03.745 --> 00:27:04.765 uh, a situation. 618 00:27:05.085 --> 00:27:06.445 I wanna be careful with my words. 619 00:27:06.585 --> 00:27:08.125 I'm not a geological engineer. 620 00:27:08.225 --> 00:27:09.485 I'm not a structural engineer. 621 00:27:09.865 --> 00:27:11.765 We have a home on Figueroa Street. 622 00:27:12.345 --> 00:27:15.605 It, uh, has a hole that has opened up, 623 00:27:15.785 --> 00:27:17.325 um, on the side of the house. 624 00:27:17.785 --> 00:27:20.085 The hole is 12 feet, seven inches deep. 625 00:27:20.515 --> 00:27:23.805 It's 18 feet wide, and it's 14 feet across. 626 00:27:24.585 --> 00:27:27.685 Uh, we've marked it. It doesn't seem to be moving. 627 00:27:27.825 --> 00:27:29.845 And we're measuring it every day with a, a laser. 628 00:27:30.425 --> 00:27:33.205 And it seems to be sitting at 12 feet, seven inches. 629 00:27:33.745 --> 00:27:35.605 Um, again, I'm kelp with my language. 630 00:27:35.985 --> 00:27:38.165 The neighbor, uh, called the fire department. 631 00:27:38.285 --> 00:27:40.765 Fire department came out. They have condemned the home. 632 00:27:41.385 --> 00:27:44.565 The owner is way out of country and unreachable. 633 00:27:45.145 --> 00:27:49.525 So I guess, uh, as neighbors, um, we're just kind 634 00:27:49.525 --> 00:27:51.645 of wondering maybe is there something we could do? 635 00:27:52.165 --> 00:27:55.085 I, I'm assuming they most probably have that basic, uh, 636 00:27:55.755 --> 00:27:57.765 insurance that, that all of us have, 637 00:27:57.765 --> 00:28:00.165 which is the catastrophic ground collapse insurance. 638 00:28:00.705 --> 00:28:04.685 But maybe is there a way we could find out who to reach for, 639 00:28:04.985 --> 00:28:06.445 for that action to take place? 640 00:28:07.045 --> 00:28:10.485 I, I would imagine somebody's gonna need to reach out 641 00:28:10.485 --> 00:28:12.125 to a geological and to a structural engineer, 642 00:28:12.125 --> 00:28:13.845 have them coordinate what they want to do and, 643 00:28:14.385 --> 00:28:16.445 but we just don't know where to go with Yeah, 644 00:28:16.475 --> 00:28:18.365 It's on private, it's on private property. 645 00:28:18.425 --> 00:28:19.725 So it's not district issue. 646 00:28:19.915 --> 00:28:22.405 Deal with, and, uh, and you've made a statement though. 647 00:28:23.165 --> 00:28:27.965 I I, I think that sinkhole insurance, that 648 00:28:27.965 --> 00:28:29.925 that rider to your is not on every policy. 649 00:28:30.225 --> 00:28:31.765 You gotta make sure that you have it when 650 00:28:32.075 --> 00:28:33.125 There's two different things. 651 00:28:33.125 --> 00:28:35.885 There's catastrophic ground collapse and there's sinkhole. 652 00:28:35.955 --> 00:28:38.165 They're not the same whatever you are. Right. Well, 653 00:28:38.365 --> 00:28:39.365 Whatever. Yeah, 654 00:28:39.365 --> 00:28:40.405 I say it ably. 655 00:28:41.525 --> 00:28:43.885 I mean, you gotta make sure it is on your policy, 656 00:28:44.355 --> 00:28:45.355 Correct. Yeah. But, 657 00:28:45.355 --> 00:28:46.685 but the way it works is 658 00:28:46.685 --> 00:28:47.925 catastrophic ground collapse. 659 00:28:48.465 --> 00:28:50.805 If the regulating body 660 00:28:50.805 --> 00:28:53.845 of the county deems the house uninhabitable, right. 661 00:28:54.155 --> 00:28:55.925 That insurance policy kicks in. 662 00:28:56.385 --> 00:28:59.525 If it's merely cracks or the window no longer closed 663 00:28:59.545 --> 00:29:01.365 or something like that, then you're using sinkhole. 664 00:29:01.365 --> 00:29:03.085 Correct. Two different, anyway, 665 00:29:03.145 --> 00:29:04.605 my question is where do we go? 666 00:29:04.625 --> 00:29:07.285 Who do we call? What should we do? So 667 00:29:07.425 --> 00:29:08.425 Mr. Chair, the county 668 00:29:08.425 --> 00:29:09.445 is aware of this 669 00:29:09.745 --> 00:29:13.165 and has, um, to our knowledge deemed the house is, 670 00:29:13.385 --> 00:29:14.805 um, uninhabitable. 671 00:29:15.345 --> 00:29:17.365 So they have, I would assume, be working 672 00:29:17.365 --> 00:29:18.965 with a homeowner moving forward. 673 00:29:19.505 --> 00:29:21.525 But Sumter County is the one that, 674 00:29:21.635 --> 00:29:22.845 that you would have to work 675 00:29:22.845 --> 00:29:23.845 With. So Sumter 676 00:29:23.845 --> 00:29:25.445 County, we should reach Sumter County. Yes, sir. 677 00:29:25.445 --> 00:29:28.765 Okay. And, and in your question, which is a good one, uh, 678 00:29:28.905 --> 00:29:31.365 it, you said, well, it's on someone's private property. 679 00:29:32.185 --> 00:29:34.085 It, it has moved enough 680 00:29:34.425 --> 00:29:36.845 to be considered on the neighbor's property. 681 00:29:36.865 --> 00:29:39.725 So should they, maybe since we don't have contact with 682 00:29:39.725 --> 00:29:42.885 that owner, should we use the neighbor to contact Sum County 683 00:29:42.945 --> 00:29:45.085 and have them ask I guess 684 00:29:45.385 --> 00:29:48.405 The, the, as far as we're understanding the county is in 685 00:29:48.405 --> 00:29:50.365 the process of trying to contact the homeowner. 686 00:29:50.565 --> 00:29:52.445 I don't know if they have been able to. Okay. 687 00:29:52.465 --> 00:29:55.605 But certainly if their neighbor has, it seems 688 00:29:55.605 --> 00:29:56.725 to be going on their property, 689 00:29:57.285 --> 00:29:59.045 I would certainly probably have them reach 690 00:29:59.045 --> 00:30:00.125 out to the county as well. 691 00:30:00.155 --> 00:30:01.485 Okay. Okay. Very good. Okay. 692 00:30:01.785 --> 00:30:02.845 So it sounds like they're already 693 00:30:02.855 --> 00:30:04.205 doing something and Yes, sir. 694 00:30:04.275 --> 00:30:06.445 Okay. And should we follow up anyway? I guess? 695 00:30:06.965 --> 00:30:08.885 I mean, you can just for your own peace of mind. Okay. 696 00:30:09.005 --> 00:30:11.005 I, I'm not sure exactly what they'll tell you, 697 00:30:11.185 --> 00:30:12.965 but it, it doesn't hurt to call 'em. Okay, 698 00:30:12.965 --> 00:30:14.125 Great. Thank you. Thank very, 699 00:30:14.335 --> 00:30:15.335 Thank all. Thank you, 700 00:30:15.335 --> 00:30:18.645 ma'am. Name, address, and your issue please. 701 00:30:19.565 --> 00:30:20.645 I won't give you my weight. 702 00:30:23.435 --> 00:30:24.885 Just drop dead. Gorgeous. Right. 703 00:30:26.385 --> 00:30:30.325 Joanne Underwood, 24 12 Tamarindo Drive. 704 00:30:31.545 --> 00:30:35.045 Um, my question is some intersections that's very difficult 705 00:30:35.105 --> 00:30:39.005 to see cars coming when you go up to the drive up to go 706 00:30:39.005 --> 00:30:42.845 to the mailbox on Tamarindo, right at the gate area, 707 00:30:43.275 --> 00:30:46.765 there's a lot of shrubs, a lot of stuff 708 00:30:46.765 --> 00:30:48.445 that you can't see cars coming 709 00:30:48.505 --> 00:30:51.205 and you have to pull out almost halfway into the 710 00:30:51.205 --> 00:30:53.605 intersection to see a car coming. 711 00:30:53.665 --> 00:30:57.725 And I've had a slam on my brakes without hitting someone. 712 00:30:57.945 --> 00:30:59.525 And it's in two different areas 713 00:30:59.675 --> 00:31:01.125 that this has happened to me. 714 00:31:01.905 --> 00:31:05.285 Um, and I don't know who to call as far as overgrown. 715 00:31:05.715 --> 00:31:07.925 Well that's, we call that line of sight, 716 00:31:08.265 --> 00:31:10.125 that's the technical term for, it's a line of sight. 717 00:31:10.165 --> 00:31:11.805 I can't see where I'm going. Right. 718 00:31:12.105 --> 00:31:13.805 Mr. Brown, could you address that please? 719 00:31:14.585 --> 00:31:16.445 And, and if Mr. Chair, if you don't mind, I can 720 00:31:16.745 --> 00:31:17.765 No, Carrie can do it. Nevermind. 721 00:31:17.865 --> 00:31:20.405 So we, um, the, the proper place would be 722 00:31:20.405 --> 00:31:21.445 to notify the district. 723 00:31:21.585 --> 00:31:25.005 Uh, the best way is through our website, district gov.org. 724 00:31:25.465 --> 00:31:27.765 You can report any type of issue through there. 725 00:31:27.765 --> 00:31:28.805 We'll send somebody out. 726 00:31:29.155 --> 00:31:32.445 I've already, as the clerk has noted what you just told us. 727 00:31:32.505 --> 00:31:33.645 So we'll get somebody out there. 728 00:31:34.025 --> 00:31:36.125 If it's district property, we will take care 729 00:31:36.125 --> 00:31:37.245 of the line of sight issue. 730 00:31:37.625 --> 00:31:40.165 If it's private property, we'll contact the homeowner 731 00:31:40.265 --> 00:31:42.845 and ask them to, or if it's county right of way, 732 00:31:42.845 --> 00:31:43.845 we would contact the county. 733 00:31:44.025 --> 00:31:46.005 So if you just tell us, we'll figure out who 734 00:31:46.005 --> 00:31:48.005 to deal with it and we'll take care of it.

I've done that. 739 00:31:57.805 --> 00:31:59.325 I think there's been an accident already 740 00:31:59.385 --> 00:32:00.565 on one of the intersections. 741 00:32:00.565 --> 00:32:02.805 Yeah. Yeah. Somebody didn't, they pulled out 742 00:32:02.805 --> 00:32:05.405 and, uh, the golf cart was coming and someone got hit. 743 00:32:06.125 --> 00:32:07.565 I remember about two, three years ago I talked 744 00:32:07.565 --> 00:32:08.685 with Bruce Brown about something 745 00:32:08.685 --> 00:32:10.765 and you know, that next afternoon it was done. 746 00:32:11.025 --> 00:32:12.845 So if it's a safety issue, 747 00:32:13.095 --> 00:32:14.565 those are real, those are problems. 748 00:32:14.755 --> 00:32:16.125 They, they will take care of that right away. 749 00:32:16.125 --> 00:32:18.565 Thank you for your time and all your volunteering. Thank 750 00:32:18.565 --> 00:32:19.565 You ma'am. Sir, 751 00:32:19.565 --> 00:32:23.005 your name, address, and your issue please? 752 00:32:25.365 --> 00:32:28.325 Ted Ableson 1624 Duran Drive in Alhambra. 753 00:32:29.225 --> 00:32:33.765 Um, as far as the, uh, CCO goes with the lights, just to, 754 00:32:33.955 --> 00:32:38.005 just to make sure I understand, CCO owns, 755 00:32:38.185 --> 00:32:39.445 and we rent those 756 00:32:39.465 --> 00:32:41.205 or lease whatever terminology you want 757 00:32:41.205 --> 00:32:43.285 to use those light poles, correct? 758 00:32:43.285 --> 00:32:45.885 Correct. You're discussing, trying 759 00:32:45.885 --> 00:32:48.485 to figure out which is the best option that for you to do. 760 00:32:48.705 --> 00:32:50.325 So, if your decision, 761 00:32:50.545 --> 00:32:52.005 and you haven't made one yet, I understand 762 00:32:52.005 --> 00:32:55.165 that if your decision is to replace those light poles, 763 00:32:55.745 --> 00:32:57.765 is CECO gonna charge you to remove them? 764 00:32:59.065 --> 00:33:01.485 We don't know that yet. Don't know yet. We don't know that. 765 00:33:01.825 --> 00:33:03.405 Or you don't know if they'll charge you to remove it? 766 00:33:03.685 --> 00:33:06.045 We, we haven't got to that juncture to decide. 767 00:33:07.345 --> 00:33:10.845 That's the detail of, of the, I will tell you that I, 768 00:33:11.115 --> 00:33:14.085 that the lease agreements that I have, the copies 769 00:33:14.185 --> 00:33:16.405 of the lease agreements are very short 770 00:33:16.505 --> 00:33:19.605 and the only thing they require is a 60 day written notice. 771 00:33:20.425 --> 00:33:21.525 But it has nothing to do. 772 00:33:21.835 --> 00:33:24.725 It's nothing, it's silent with regard to, you know, 773 00:33:25.225 --> 00:33:26.485 the cost of removal. 774 00:33:27.105 --> 00:33:29.045 But I would presume that there might be something 775 00:33:29.045 --> 00:33:31.245 that we have to negotiate if it gets to that point. 776 00:33:31.475 --> 00:33:34.685 Okay. I was just looking to see all you do that you're doing 777 00:33:35.195 --> 00:33:36.565 average in rough numbers. 778 00:33:36.805 --> 00:33:38.645 I was just curious if that was a number that needed 779 00:33:38.645 --> 00:33:40.605 to be added to whatever you were coming up 780 00:33:40.605 --> 00:33:41.925 with part as part of it. 781 00:33:42.235 --> 00:33:44.525 Make comment. Okay. Thank you sir. 782 00:33:44.705 --> 00:33:46.245 Before you, uh, go anywhere. 783 00:33:46.475 --> 00:33:49.245 There's a reason earlier that Tom said it's going 784 00:33:49.245 --> 00:33:50.845 to take a while because like I said 785 00:33:50.845 --> 00:33:53.045 to the gentleman in the back, uh, 786 00:33:53.245 --> 00:33:54.885 I don't represent cco, right? 787 00:33:54.905 --> 00:33:56.205 But CCO owns the poles. 788 00:33:56.395 --> 00:33:59.005 Seco owns the wire, that's part of CCOs grade. 789 00:33:59.705 --> 00:34:03.285 So we do not, if we've, we do not know 790 00:34:04.435 --> 00:34:06.125 what we're exactly is gonna take place. 791 00:34:06.225 --> 00:34:08.245 We do not know if CCOs gonna remove the poles, 792 00:34:08.315 --> 00:34:10.605 whether we're gonna buy the poles, whether gonna produce, 793 00:34:10.695 --> 00:34:13.165 these are a lot of stones that aren't turned over yet. 794 00:34:13.165 --> 00:34:16.925 We're in the process. Even though as Tom said that though, 795 00:34:16.925 --> 00:34:18.245 you know, we're looking into the polls 796 00:34:18.245 --> 00:34:19.765 and, you know, for getting a price 797 00:34:19.765 --> 00:34:20.925 and buy and all this other stuff. 798 00:34:20.985 --> 00:34:23.085 But there's a lot of things before you can do that. 799 00:34:23.385 --> 00:34:26.165 As you just say, the polls, who's gonna remove the poles, 800 00:34:26.255 --> 00:34:27.685 who's gonna make the connection the 801 00:34:27.685 --> 00:34:28.725 secret allow us to do it. 802 00:34:29.065 --> 00:34:31.045 So there's a lot more than just out buying a pole 803 00:34:31.045 --> 00:34:32.685 and dropping a pole in the spot. 804 00:34:32.705 --> 00:34:34.965 So that's why I said Seco has a lot of power. Right. 805 00:34:35.185 --> 00:34:36.845 So, you know, today, thank, thank, 806 00:34:36.845 --> 00:34:38.805 thank God we got the Jimmy. 807 00:34:38.825 --> 00:34:41.285 Go ahead, sir. Sir, excuse me one second. 808 00:34:41.825 --> 00:34:43.085 Carrie, you're, you're, 809 00:34:43.085 --> 00:34:45.005 you're involved in negotiation with Seco. 810 00:34:45.135 --> 00:34:48.205 Could you explain what precipitated that, that, that, the, 811 00:34:48.225 --> 00:34:50.165 uh, issue with the light poles? 812 00:34:50.795 --> 00:34:53.965 Sure. So, um, as was stated earlier, 813 00:34:54.545 --> 00:34:57.845 we do not own any of the light poles within the villages. 814 00:34:58.265 --> 00:35:01.045 Um, they are owned by, the majority 815 00:35:01.045 --> 00:35:02.165 of them are owned by cco. 816 00:35:02.185 --> 00:35:06.725 And then we pay one fee, um, for them to have electric 817 00:35:06.725 --> 00:35:11.605 with it, um, maintenance lease of the poles, 818 00:35:11.605 --> 00:35:15.125 essentially with everything included the lease charge. 819 00:35:15.425 --> 00:35:17.125 We were notified by seaco right 820 00:35:17.125 --> 00:35:19.365 before our budget season that it was going 821 00:35:19.365 --> 00:35:21.565 to go up significantly, um, 822 00:35:21.745 --> 00:35:23.725 for all areas within the villages. 823 00:35:23.745 --> 00:35:25.005 So it wasn't just district two, 824 00:35:25.025 --> 00:35:28.485 it was all residential districts, commercial districts, 825 00:35:28.505 --> 00:35:32.845 the county, um, all of their area light leases were going 826 00:35:32.845 --> 00:35:36.845 to go up significantly after much conversation. 827 00:35:37.185 --> 00:35:40.605 Um, they had a meeting and invited every supervisor with all 828 00:35:40.605 --> 00:35:41.685 of the boards to attend. 829 00:35:42.515 --> 00:35:46.325 They agreed to only charge 50% of the increase 830 00:35:46.875 --> 00:35:49.365 this fiscal year as of October 1st. 831 00:35:49.825 --> 00:35:52.085 And then they would charge the remaining 50% 832 00:35:52.675 --> 00:35:57.085 next fiscal year, October 1st of next year to better allow 833 00:35:57.085 --> 00:35:58.165 for budgeting purposes. 834 00:35:58.865 --> 00:36:00.405 Um, in the meantime, 835 00:36:00.505 --> 00:36:02.645 the district board started asking if 836 00:36:02.645 --> 00:36:03.685 there were other options. 837 00:36:03.985 --> 00:36:06.885 Um, district two and District seven specifically have 838 00:36:07.245 --> 00:36:10.085 directed staff and their district council to start having, 839 00:36:10.425 --> 00:36:12.045 excuse me, researching 840 00:36:12.045 --> 00:36:14.605 and having conversations as to alternatives. 841 00:36:15.455 --> 00:36:16.885 Could we buy the poles 842 00:36:17.025 --> 00:36:19.325 and then pay somebody else to maintain them 843 00:36:19.465 --> 00:36:21.965 and then just have CCO provide the light? 844 00:36:22.415 --> 00:36:25.165 Could we take out the poles and put something new in? 845 00:36:25.175 --> 00:36:27.445 Could we require CCO to take out the poles 846 00:36:27.785 --> 00:36:29.085 and have something new put in? 847 00:36:29.425 --> 00:36:30.725 Um, could we do it in-house? 848 00:36:30.945 --> 00:36:33.165 Do we have another company come in? 849 00:36:33.225 --> 00:36:36.005 So those are all of the things that staff 850 00:36:36.025 --> 00:36:38.245 and district council are working on right now. 851 00:36:38.905 --> 00:36:43.085 Um, they're in, in the meantime, again, 852 00:36:43.405 --> 00:36:46.245 probably about two weeks ago we received correspondence from 853 00:36:46.465 --> 00:36:48.525 CCO that they received a hundred million dollars grant 854 00:36:49.065 --> 00:36:52.605 and that they were going to knew a new cost study 855 00:36:52.825 --> 00:36:55.765 to determine if those additional revenues from 856 00:36:55.765 --> 00:37:00.645 that grant would impact the cost of area light leasing. 857 00:37:01.265 --> 00:37:04.885 So it is our hope that with that grant money, they will say 858 00:37:04.885 --> 00:37:08.005 that that additional 50% that we were going to charge you as 859 00:37:08.005 --> 00:37:11.285 of October 1st is no longer necessary 860 00:37:11.505 --> 00:37:14.525 and we are going to be able to hold our costs as they are. 861 00:37:15.105 --> 00:37:19.045 Um, some of the cost increased from what CCO said is 862 00:37:19.045 --> 00:37:22.485 that the normal light users, 863 00:37:23.065 --> 00:37:24.445 the residential properties, 864 00:37:24.445 --> 00:37:28.045 commercial properties were in fact carrying the cost 865 00:37:28.265 --> 00:37:29.565 of the area light users 866 00:37:29.825 --> 00:37:31.685 and that they had not increased the 867 00:37:31.685 --> 00:37:32.885 cost that they should have. 868 00:37:33.765 --> 00:37:36.125 Combined that with the cost of converting all of them 869 00:37:36.125 --> 00:37:38.645 to LED was why the increase was needed. 870 00:37:39.465 --> 00:37:44.125 So it is staff, um, hope that as of, um, we, 871 00:37:44.125 --> 00:37:46.285 we were told about March, April, 872 00:37:46.425 --> 00:37:49.605 we would have another meeting with them to determine if 873 00:37:49.605 --> 00:37:51.565 that a hundred million dollars grant would impact 874 00:37:51.625 --> 00:37:52.685 the cost of leasing. 875 00:37:53.185 --> 00:37:55.965 It is staff's hope that certainly they would say they don't 876 00:37:55.965 --> 00:37:57.365 need the additional 50%. 877 00:37:58.025 --> 00:38:00.485 Not to say that the districts will say, okay, that's great. 878 00:38:00.485 --> 00:38:01.765 We're going to stay with you. 879 00:38:01.905 --> 00:38:04.405 But it's just another option to consider. 880 00:38:05.065 --> 00:38:06.605 Um, but at this point, 881 00:38:08.665 --> 00:38:10.845 CCO has not offered to sell the polls. 882 00:38:11.385 --> 00:38:12.965 CCO has not said this is 883 00:38:12.965 --> 00:38:14.565 what it's gonna cost to buy the polls. 884 00:38:14.875 --> 00:38:19.005 What CCO said was, if you want to buy the polls district, 885 00:38:19.275 --> 00:38:20.725 then you have to do three things. 886 00:38:21.345 --> 00:38:25.085 You have to have a valuation, which means you have 887 00:38:25.085 --> 00:38:26.725 to hire a company to come in 888 00:38:26.725 --> 00:38:28.725 and determine how much these poll are worth. 889 00:38:29.425 --> 00:38:32.165 Number two, you, we have to have board approval. 890 00:38:32.305 --> 00:38:34.285 So CCOs board would have to approve it, 891 00:38:34.785 --> 00:38:38.125 and then you would also have to have approval from the USCA. 892 00:38:38.705 --> 00:38:40.645 Um, they would require approval of 893 00:38:40.645 --> 00:38:42.805 that based on all of that valuation. 894 00:38:43.065 --> 00:38:45.805 So I just wanna make sure you understand 895 00:38:45.805 --> 00:38:47.565 that residents did not, I'm sorry, 896 00:38:47.825 --> 00:38:51.485 CCO did not offer anything to a district. 897 00:38:51.555 --> 00:38:52.885 They just simply said, 898 00:38:53.105 --> 00:38:55.165 if you are interested in buying the poles, 899 00:38:55.555 --> 00:38:56.925 this is what you have to do. 900 00:38:57.295 --> 00:38:59.885 Which is similar to if a district were going 901 00:38:59.885 --> 00:39:04.805 to buy a utility or buy any type of utility infrastructure. 902 00:39:05.035 --> 00:39:07.845 That is what a government is required to do, is to go 903 00:39:07.845 --> 00:39:09.045 through that valuation process. 904 00:39:09.665 --> 00:39:12.005 So that is similar to what would be done 905 00:39:12.085 --> 00:39:13.205 with any type of utility. 906 00:39:13.545 --> 00:39:16.765 May I make a quick comment? Just everybody knows the 907 00:39:17.885 --> 00:39:18.885 districts one, two, and three, 908 00:39:19.065 --> 00:39:20.405 we don't have too many light bulbs. 909 00:39:20.555 --> 00:39:23.645 They're all fiberglass, they're old. 910 00:39:23.985 --> 00:39:27.085 Uh, fiberglass has a life of about 25 years. And guess what? 911 00:39:27.295 --> 00:39:29.245 These light poles are about 28 years old 912 00:39:30.265 --> 00:39:33.565 to replace these light poles just to go, I believe just go 913 00:39:33.565 --> 00:39:36.485 to the, go to the internet and Google light pole cost. 914 00:39:37.405 --> 00:39:40.365 I can buy a replacement just off the price list 915 00:39:40.365 --> 00:39:41.965 for about 600 bucks a light pole. 916 00:39:42.425 --> 00:39:44.805 To give you an example of just, just the pole itself. 917 00:39:45.385 --> 00:39:47.645 So the, the probability of seco wanting 918 00:39:47.645 --> 00:39:50.645 to sell us the light pole for some huge amount 919 00:39:50.645 --> 00:39:52.925 of money would, they're probably dealt with anything. 920 00:39:52.945 --> 00:39:54.845 And matter of fact, they should probably pay 921 00:39:54.845 --> 00:39:55.885 us to take 'em out. 922 00:39:57.035 --> 00:39:59.165 Well, the good news is that the number 923 00:39:59.165 --> 00:40:01.565 of poles in district two are relatively 924 00:40:01.565 --> 00:40:02.645 small to other districts. 925 00:40:02.645 --> 00:40:04.045 Eight, two, excuse me, Tom. Yeah. 926 00:40:04.805 --> 00:40:06.445 Relative to other districts.

We, we feel that they are, 1501 01:06:12.205 --> 01:06:13.545 The only instruction they have 1502 01:06:13.545 --> 01:06:15.105 to my knowledge is that they wave to us. 1503 01:06:15.645 --> 01:06:17.385 That's Not today what they're supposed to come on. 1504 01:06:17.495 --> 01:06:20.745 They're supposed to.

Yeah. 1510 01:06:33.415 --> 01:06:36.825 Some of these heavily traveled areas like Morriss Boulevard 1511 01:06:36.825 --> 01:06:40.265 or some of these gates down in, down in, uh, Brownwood or fe 1512 01:06:40.285 --> 01:06:44.345 or they need attendance to regulate the traffic to, 1513 01:06:44.565 --> 01:06:47.825 to bring the traffic in some of these places in harms wood 1514 01:06:47.825 --> 01:06:50.705 or, uh, uh, uh, uh, they don't need attendance 1515 01:06:50.705 --> 01:06:53.265 because there's not a lot of traffic there. 1516 01:06:53.265 --> 01:06:54.545 There's just residents going there. 1517 01:06:54.545 --> 01:06:55.945 Maybe every now and then you get a visit. 1518 01:06:56.485 --> 01:06:59.905 So they, they put attendance where they need them, not 1519 01:06:59.905 --> 01:07:01.985 because they require 'em. 1520 01:07:01.985 --> 01:07:03.465 There's gate houses, there's a, 1521 01:07:03.495 --> 01:07:06.705 they just put a bathroom in over there at Shea Gate in, in, 1522 01:07:06.725 --> 01:07:09.745 uh, in over at the historic side. 1523 01:07:09.745 --> 01:07:12.505 After 30 years, they finally decided the guy 1524 01:07:12.505 --> 01:07:13.545 has to go to the bathroom. 1525 01:07:13.965 --> 01:07:18.665 But the thing is, the villages, they already did a study. 1526 01:07:18.805 --> 01:07:21.825 The people that developed the villages already did a study 1527 01:07:22.085 --> 01:07:26.265 on attendance that had to man these gates and, and if they 1528 01:07:26.885 --> 01:07:28.105 and who don't need a man. 1529 01:07:28.485 --> 01:07:30.065 So that's what they do. I mean, you know, 1530 01:07:30.085 --> 01:07:33.065 you can't just say arbitrarily say, we don't need attendance 1531 01:07:33.495 --> 01:07:36.065 because it would be a nightmare down the end 1532 01:07:36.065 --> 01:07:38.745 of Morris b Boulevard without an attendance there. 1533 01:07:39.005 --> 01:07:40.185 And that's why they have attendance. 1534 01:07:40.805 --> 01:07:43.345 But other places they, they don't need them. 1535 01:07:44.535 --> 01:07:47.225 Well, that's satisfactory.
