all five supervisors present for a forum.

5
00:00:11.145 --> 00:00:14.485
One who's having difficulty seeing, but all five are here.

00:00:16.025 --> 00:00:18.925
Uh, let's stand please for the pledge allegiance, followed

7
00:00:19.065 --> 00:00:23.845
by a brief moment for, uh, a moment of silence.

8
00:00:24.345 --> 00:00:27.765
For all those past and present who vulnerably served our

9
00:00:28.305 --> 00:00:30.205
nation and city.

10
00:00:31.005 --> 00:00:32.725
I pledge allegiance to the flag

11
00:00:33.025 --> 00:00:34.525
of the United States of America,

12
00:00:34.985 --> 00:00:38.765
and to the republic for which it stands, one nation

13
00:00:39.295 --> 00:00:43.805
under God, Invis with liberty and justice for all.

14
00:00:53.735 --> 00:00:58.565
Thank you very much. Uh, welcome to our meeting attendees.

15
00:00:59.585 --> 00:01:02.445
Uh, if you have something you'd like to talk

16
00:01:02.445 --> 00:01:06.605
to the board about that's not on the agenda, please step up

17
00:01:06.605 --> 00:01:08.125
to the lectern and let us know

18
00:01:08.125 --> 00:01:09.445
who you are and what you want to talk about.

19
00:01:17.505 --> 00:01:21.885
All right, uh, law enforcement. Good to see you, sir.

20
00:01:23.865 --> 00:01:24.865
And You as well.

21
00:01:26.075 --> 00:01:28.045
Good afternoon. My name is Sergeant Adam Dodge

22
00:01:28.045 --> 00:01:29.245
with the Sumter County Sheriff's Office,

23
00:01:29.245 --> 00:01:30.885
and I'm here to provide you with you a quarterly law

24
00:01:30.885 --> 00:01:32.685
enforcement update, typically

25
00:01:32.685 --> 00:01:34.405
with a quarterly law enforcement update.

26
00:01:34.445 --> 00:01:36.965
I provides you with statistics about traffic crashes,

27
00:01:36.965 --> 00:01:39.365
traffic citations issued here within the villages.

28
00:01:39.635 --> 00:01:41.285
However, some of you may be aware,

29
00:01:41.285 --> 00:01:43.845
the sheriff's office was involved with a ransomware attack,

30
00:01:43.845 --> 00:01:47.525
which impacted our, uh, digital infrastructure, our network.

31
00:01:48.065 --> 00:01:50.165
And while there hasn't been any impact to services

32
00:01:50.565 --> 00:01:53.325
provided to the citizens, if the citizen dials 9 1 1,

33
00:01:53.325 --> 00:01:54.405
they'll reach a dispatcher.

34
00:01:54.785 --> 00:01:56.805
If they request a deputy, a deputy will be sent

35
00:01:56.805 --> 00:01:58.125
to their residence and they'll

36
00:01:58.365 --> 00:01:59.565
investigate their crime all the time.

37
00:01:59.955 --> 00:02:01.765
It's not impacting the services provided.

38
00:02:02.355 --> 00:02:04.765
What it is impacting is the way that we, uh,

39
00:02:05.205 --> 00:02:06.685
transmit information within our organization

40
00:02:06.685 --> 00:02:08.405
and we're able to gather statistics.

41
00:02:08.625 --> 00:02:11.845
So unable to provide you a statistics for traffic crashes

42
00:02:11.845 --> 00:02:13.645
and traffic citations at this point.

43
00:02:13.755 --> 00:02:15.845
However, I'm, I believe that,

44
00:02:15.875 --> 00:02:17.645
that the next quarterly update, I'll be able

45
00:02:17.645 --> 00:02:18.925
to provide you with that information.

46
00:02:19.225 --> 00:02:22.525
Uh, they're diligently working to get us back online, and,

47
00:02:22.625 --> 00:02:24.645
but we tell people it's, uh, like we're going back

48
00:02:24.645 --> 00:02:26.005
to policing in the 1990s.

49
00:02:26.665 --> 00:02:29.205
Uh, some people had never dis, have never, uh,

50
00:02:29.385 --> 00:02:31.805
worked in a patrol car without a laptop before.

51
00:02:32.195 --> 00:02:33.485
It's a different skill set,

52
00:02:33.545 --> 00:02:35.325
but our deputies are working through that,

53
00:02:35.745 --> 00:02:38.125
and we're glad to, glad to ensure the citizens

54
00:02:38.125 --> 00:02:39.685
that there's no impact to the services

55
00:02:40.035 --> 00:02:41.125
that are provided to them.

56
00:02:42.025 --> 00:02:43.925
Did you have to call in a professional output

57
00:02:43.925 --> 00:02:45.165
to help you clean up your servers?

58
00:02:45.685 --> 00:02:48.965
Absolutely. Uh, we utilize, uh, assistance through, uh,

59
00:02:48.975 --> 00:02:51.285
state law enforcement agencies like the Department

60
00:02:51.285 --> 00:02:53.365
of Law Enforcement and an organization called Florida

61
00:02:53.365 --> 00:02:55.445
Digital, uh, who've assisted us.

62
00:02:55.905 --> 00:02:58.405
Um, and our, our IT department has been working

63
00:02:58.585 --> 00:03:02.245
around the clock to, to get this, uh, issue remedied.

64
00:03:02.505 --> 00:03:06.405
And we're in the process now of replacing and cleansing

65
00:03:06.405 --> 00:03:09.645
or scrubbing our hardware, uh, our laptop computers

66
00:03:09.645 --> 00:03:10.805
to get them back on the network.

67
00:03:11.305 --> 00:03:12.725
Oh, yeah. It's awful.

68
00:03:13.485 --> 00:03:16.965
Absolutely. I'd like to, uh, give you some information.

69
00:03:16.965 --> 00:03:18.965
Hurricane Milton brought to light, uh, some

70
00:03:18.965 --> 00:03:22.205
of the county's response to, uh, hurricanes

71
00:03:22.205 --> 00:03:23.485
and other natural disasters.

72
00:03:23.705 --> 00:03:26.165
Sumter County operates what we call an EOC

73
00:03:26.165 --> 00:03:27.805
or an emergency operation center,

74
00:03:27.985 --> 00:03:30.365
and counties all across the nation operate e ooc.

75
00:03:30.785 --> 00:03:33.325
Our EOC was, was activated for Hurricane Milton,

76
00:03:33.865 --> 00:03:34.925
and it's an opportunity

77
00:03:34.925 --> 00:03:36.965
for stakeholders from across the community

78
00:03:36.965 --> 00:03:39.605
to be in one room together and share information

79
00:03:39.785 --> 00:03:41.045
and work collaboratively.

80
00:03:41.425 --> 00:03:43.205
Uh, pre-storm during the storm,

81
00:03:43.205 --> 00:03:44.885
and then post-storm in that recovery phase.

82
00:03:45.545 --> 00:03:48.805
The sheriff's office was at shelters, uh, across the county.

83
00:03:49.065 --> 00:03:50.925
We had several hundred individuals seek, uh,

84
00:03:50.925 --> 00:03:52.045
refuge in the shelters,

85
00:03:52.045 --> 00:03:54.045
and they brought almost a hundred pets with them,

86
00:03:54.045 --> 00:03:55.125
birds, cats, and dogs.

87
00:03:55.705 --> 00:03:58.805
Uh, while the villages has, uh, you know, site built homes

88
00:03:58.835 --> 00:04:01.365
that are, that meet with modern code, uh,

89
00:04:01.365 --> 00:04:04.325
compliance elsewhere in the county, there are more residents

90
00:04:04.325 --> 00:04:06.125
who reside in mobile homes or campers

91
00:04:06.425 --> 00:04:09.245
or reside in, in flood, pro flood prone areas.

92
00:04:09.905 --> 00:04:13.005
Uh, currently we have one shelter still, uh, being,

93
00:04:13.105 --> 00:04:14.245
uh, occupied.

94
00:04:14.585 --> 00:04:16.405
And down at the very south end of the county,

95
00:04:16.435 --> 00:04:17.685
there's a green swamp,

96
00:04:17.685 --> 00:04:20.205
and that funnels rainwater into the, with Lache River.

97
00:04:20.585 --> 00:04:22.325
And that river level is rising.

98
00:04:22.545 --> 00:04:24.525
We have, uh, several residents who are being impacted

99
00:04:24.545 --> 00:04:26.805
by flood and the sheriff's offices working, uh,

100
00:04:26.805 --> 00:04:29.645
to assist those who are in danger of being cut off

101
00:04:29.665 --> 00:04:32.725
and are now they're impacted directly by that rising water

102
00:04:32.725 --> 00:04:34.245
and the, and the flooding in that area.

103
00:04:34.545 --> 00:04:36.365
So, that's all the

104
00:04:36.365 --> 00:04:37.765
information I have for you today, gentlemen.

105
00:04:37.765 --> 00:04:39.485
If there's anything that you'd ask of me,

106
00:04:39.745 --> 00:04:41.125
is there anything I can answer for you?

107
00:04:43.465 --> 00:04:47.645
Do you know what the, uh, where the, which reusing gonna,

108
00:04:48.305 --> 00:04:50.845
the, the maximum flood elevation,

109
00:04:50.905 --> 00:04:53.245
do you know if it's receded or starts to,

110
00:04:53.795 --> 00:04:56.805
Several estimates about the peak, uh, flood height,

111
00:04:57.185 --> 00:04:59.885
and there's, uh, several estimates which, which believe

112
00:04:59.885 --> 00:05:00.965
that this is gonna, uh,

113
00:05:01.235 --> 00:05:03.605
surpass any recorded flood height on the wood.

114
00:05:05.005 --> 00:05:07.485
I Give you a direct, uh, number of feet.

115
00:05:08.185 --> 00:05:10.525
Um, but that water level is currently still rising.

116
00:05:11.015 --> 00:05:14.925
Still rising, yes. Huh.

117
00:05:15.995 --> 00:05:18.085
Okay. Do you have a question, sir?

118
00:05:18.425 --> 00:05:21.125
Any Yes, sir. Come up to You

119
00:05:21.125 --> 00:05:22.125
Gotta come up to, yeah. You

120
00:05:22.125 --> 00:05:23.045
gotta come up and tell us Who

121
00:05:23.045 --> 00:05:23.925
you are.

122
00:05:31.185 --> 00:05:33.645
Uh, I'm Bob Evans. I'm in the Village of Budwood.

123
00:05:33.705 --> 00:05:35.205
My first meeting that I've attended

124
00:05:35.435 --> 00:05:36.725
been there about three and a half years.

125
00:05:37.325 --> 00:05:39.805
I just wondered about the statistics you mentioned about

126
00:05:40.195 --> 00:05:42.565
traffic, and I wondered if there's similar numbers

127
00:05:42.745 --> 00:05:44.685
for violent crime, if there is anything.

128
00:05:44.845 --> 00:05:48.925
I haven't seen any. I can, I can shed some light on that.

129
00:05:49.345 --> 00:05:52.525
Um, our violent crime here in the villages is almost

130
00:05:52.525 --> 00:05:53.525
through the floor.

131
00:05:53.985 --> 00:05:55.445
Uh, we have a very low amount

132
00:05:55.445 --> 00:05:57.310
of violent crime special here in this, this area.

133
00:05:57.625 --> 00:06:00.165
Uh, all counties in the state collect

134
00:06:00.165 --> 00:06:01.645
statistical information on their crime.

135
00:06:01.695 --> 00:06:03.805
67 counties in the, in the state of Florida.

136
00:06:04.465 --> 00:06:07.405
And we don't, typically, we don't rank number one, we'd love

137
00:06:07.405 --> 00:06:10.245
to rank number one, and we usually say we, we rank somewhere

138
00:06:10.245 --> 00:06:11.805
around six, seven, or eight for the,

139
00:06:11.865 --> 00:06:13.125
for a county in the state of Florida.

140
00:06:13.545 --> 00:06:16.245
The counties that beat us statistically for crime are those,

141
00:06:16.345 --> 00:06:17.645
uh, jurisdictions

142
00:06:17.645 --> 00:06:19.365
that have a flashing light at Dollar General.

143
00:06:19.465 --> 00:06:22.685
And less than 50,000 people we're doing really well in our,

144
00:06:22.685 --> 00:06:23.805
in our crime statistics.

145
00:06:23.805 --> 00:06:25.845
And the types of crimes that impact us here are crimes

146
00:06:25.865 --> 00:06:28.125
of opportunity and scams.

147
00:06:28.235 --> 00:06:30.365
Yeah. And crimes of opportunity are easily avoidable

148
00:06:30.385 --> 00:06:32.565
by small, smart decisions and scams.

149
00:06:32.565 --> 00:06:34.685
There's just about getting information out.

150
00:06:34.905 --> 00:06:37.085
We always encourage people, if you encounter a scam,

151
00:06:37.135 --> 00:06:38.445
share it with your friends and family.

152
00:06:38.945 --> 00:06:41.325
So if they encounter that same situation,

153
00:06:41.325 --> 00:06:43.565
they're aware it's potentially a scam.

154
00:06:45.335 --> 00:06:48.165
Thank you. Yeah. Thank you, Sergeant. Appreciate it.

155
00:06:48.165 --> 00:06:50.885
Thank you, gentlemen. I, I did have one question.

156
00:06:51.185 --> 00:06:54.125
Uh, going back to the scams, do you have a unit

157
00:06:54.755 --> 00:06:56.285
that looks at scams?

158
00:06:56.345 --> 00:06:59.245
Uh, uh, in particular, you know,

159
00:06:59.545 --> 00:07:01.205
or is it just kind of spread out?

160
00:07:01.205 --> 00:07:03.125
And The reason I'm asking is kind of personal.

161
00:07:03.205 --> 00:07:05.885
I was hit with a $26,000 scam. Oh.

162
00:07:06.035 --> 00:07:08.605
That, uh, you know, fortunately I knew enough about it.

163
00:07:08.605 --> 00:07:10.885
I knew it was a scam. And your folks,

164
00:07:11.125 --> 00:07:12.365
I have to give 'em a hand.

165
00:07:12.365 --> 00:07:14.565
They got out within I think, three minutes.

166
00:07:15.425 --> 00:07:18.045
Uh, unfortunately the perpetrators had just

167
00:07:18.055 --> 00:07:19.285
taken, taken off.

168
00:07:19.545 --> 00:07:20.925
But anyway, my question is,

169
00:07:21.265 --> 00:07:23.085
do you have anyone focusing on that?

170
00:07:23.645 --> 00:07:25.125
Absolutely. We have two detectives assigned

171
00:07:25.125 --> 00:07:26.325
to our criminal investigation division

172
00:07:26.475 --> 00:07:27.965
that are tasked purely with

173
00:07:27.965 --> 00:07:30.605
what we call white collar crimes, those financial crimes.

174
00:07:30.905 --> 00:07:33.925
And these are detectives that receive a specific training on

175
00:07:33.925 --> 00:07:35.365
dealing with those financial matters.

176
00:07:36.065 --> 00:07:38.525
So many people think of a financial crime is just

177
00:07:38.525 --> 00:07:39.765
something that involves a bank.

178
00:07:40.105 --> 00:07:43.125
But financial crimes are involved almost every major case.

179
00:07:43.125 --> 00:07:46.525
And say we were working a, uh, a significant case that

180
00:07:47.745 --> 00:07:49.805
far more egregious than just a property crime.

181
00:07:49.995 --> 00:07:52.325
There's almost always a white collar crime element,

182
00:07:52.325 --> 00:07:55.685
whether we're utilizing financial, uh, documentation

183
00:07:55.785 --> 00:07:56.965
to track down an individual

184
00:07:57.065 --> 00:08:00.005
or a stolen car, a card is swiped somewhere.

185
00:08:00.095 --> 00:08:02.125
Those financial crimes detectives are great at what they do.

186
00:08:02.385 --> 00:08:03.725
Uh, and they specialize on that.

187
00:08:04.585 --> 00:08:06.565
And, you know, now that all

188
00:08:06.685 --> 00:08:08.525
of our information has been released,

189
00:08:08.985 --> 00:08:12.565
and I'm pretty sure that's what happened to me, uh, in

190
00:08:12.565 --> 00:08:14.445
that area, I understand the white collar,

191
00:08:14.665 --> 00:08:17.165
but as far as the online,

192
00:08:17.225 --> 00:08:19.725
the internet scams turned out this was a Russian gang.

193
00:08:20.695 --> 00:08:23.525
Those same two detectives, uh, handled those for,

194
00:08:23.625 --> 00:08:24.765
to crime those scams.

195
00:08:25.065 --> 00:08:26.885
Uh, and, and scams have been difficult

196
00:08:26.885 --> 00:08:28.365
to prosecute in the United States.

197
00:08:28.745 --> 00:08:30.045
So often they're, they're occurring,

198
00:08:30.045 --> 00:08:32.285
they're being perpetrated from outside jurisdiction,

199
00:08:32.305 --> 00:08:33.485
not only with the county or state,

200
00:08:33.505 --> 00:08:34.925
but outside the United States.

201
00:08:35.225 --> 00:08:38.485
Yes, that's true. But we had two perpetrators show up at the

202
00:08:38.485 --> 00:08:40.365
door that were part of the scam.

203
00:08:40.435 --> 00:08:41.845
They wanted the merchandise.

204
00:08:42.505 --> 00:08:44.845
So it, it is on both sides of the pond.

205
00:08:45.185 --> 00:08:48.845
If, if I can, I'd caution you in making an assumption about

206
00:08:48.985 --> 00:08:50.645
the persons who show up at your door.

207
00:08:50.985 --> 00:08:54.405
Uh, several years ago, we had a, a victim of a scam.

208
00:08:54.515 --> 00:08:56.605
Someone showed up at their door that they,

209
00:08:56.875 --> 00:08:58.565
they were told they were gonna send a courier

210
00:08:59.145 --> 00:09:01.765
and, uh, an Uber driver showed up to pick up a package,

211
00:09:01.825 --> 00:09:04.085
and an Uber driver got punched square in the nose.

212
00:09:04.475 --> 00:09:06.205
That Uber driver had nothing to do with

213
00:09:06.435 --> 00:09:07.565
that type of situation.

214
00:09:07.565 --> 00:09:08.845
Mm-hmm. Uh, so sometimes,

215
00:09:09.025 --> 00:09:10.845
and there have been instances elsewhere with

216
00:09:10.845 --> 00:09:12.365
around the country where mm-hmm.

217
00:09:12.545 --> 00:09:15.165
Uh, a courier has been sent who's not directly

218
00:09:15.165 --> 00:09:16.405
associated with the scam.

219
00:09:17.145 --> 00:09:19.605
Uh, and that has led to issues. Right. Yeah.

220
00:09:19.665 --> 00:09:22.685
Our UPS driver was smart enough, she got accosted and,

221
00:09:23.025 --> 00:09:25.525
but she was smart enough not to give the merchandise up.

222
00:09:25.575 --> 00:09:27.205
Super. Fantastic.

223
00:09:27.475 --> 00:09:29.565
Yeah, gentlemen. Alright. We'll try it again.

224
00:09:29.575 --> 00:09:31.765
Thank you, Sergeant. Thank you very much. You bet.

225
00:09:32.875 --> 00:09:34.605
Next items are consent agenda.

226
00:09:34.885 --> 00:09:37.565
A motion to approve the consent agenda is a motion

227
00:09:37.585 --> 00:09:39.685
to approve all recommended actions.

228
00:09:40.545 --> 00:09:42.765
Two items, uh, approval of the minutes,

229
00:09:43.545 --> 00:09:46.725
and an RFP 10 P dash zero 15.

230
00:09:46.865 --> 00:09:48.285
Any questions on either of those?

231
00:09:56.705 --> 00:09:58.605
Mr. Chair? I would recommend approval

232
00:09:58.665 --> 00:10:01.805
of the consent agenda items three A and three B.

233
00:10:03.265 --> 00:10:07.325
All right. We have a motion to approve. Do we have a second?

234
00:10:07.635 --> 00:10:11.605
I'll second. Second from Ray. All in favor? Aye. Aye.

235
00:10:12.355 --> 00:10:15.805
Unanimous carried. New business?

236
00:10:17.305 --> 00:10:18.405
Yes, sir. Good afternoon.

237
00:10:18.455 --> 00:10:20.445
Board, uh, Melissa Shar, purchasing.

238
00:10:20.465 --> 00:10:22.405
I'm here to present the next two items for you.

239
00:10:22.615 --> 00:10:25.645
First, I'm requesting approval of awards to four contractors

240
00:10:25.825 --> 00:10:29.085
for request for proposal four P, excuse me,

241
00:10:29.085 --> 00:10:32.645
24 p dash zero three eight on-call services

242
00:10:32.985 --> 00:10:35.645
for geological anomalies and stormwater systems.

243
00:10:36.185 --> 00:10:39.005
Uh, the intent of this ROP was to establish agreements

244
00:10:39.005 --> 00:10:41.605
with multiple contractors to provide on demand

245
00:10:41.665 --> 00:10:43.205
as needed projects

246
00:10:43.205 --> 00:10:45.885
and repairs, such as complete ground depression

247
00:10:45.965 --> 00:10:49.405
and erosion, including excavating, uh, filling

248
00:10:49.625 --> 00:10:52.005
and compacting, a depression and eroded area,

249
00:10:52.265 --> 00:10:55.965
and remediating naturally occurring geological anomalies,

250
00:10:56.325 --> 00:10:57.765
commonly known as a sinkhole.

251
00:10:58.705 --> 00:11:02.725
Um, on August 15th, staff issued the RFP for responsive

252
00:11:02.725 --> 00:11:05.005
and responsible proposals were received

253
00:11:05.005 --> 00:11:07.325
and presented to the selection committee for review.

254
00:11:07.705 --> 00:11:10.525
The selection committee met on September 30th

255
00:11:10.785 --> 00:11:13.725
to score off respondents, according to the RP

256
00:11:14.105 --> 00:11:16.565
during evaluation, keep cutting out

257
00:11:17.265 --> 00:11:18.965
during valuation process.

258
00:11:19.225 --> 00:11:21.805
The selection committee considers each respondent's

259
00:11:21.805 --> 00:11:25.485
experience, references, qualifications of manpower,

260
00:11:25.485 --> 00:11:29.245
machinery, and exhibit cost, um, and overall

261
00:11:29.465 --> 00:11:32.445
or cost in the overall proposals.

262
00:11:32.945 --> 00:11:34.925
The RFP allowed for multiple contractors

263
00:11:35.065 --> 00:11:38.125
to be awarded agreements based on the selection committee's,

264
00:11:38.125 --> 00:11:40.605
scores and rankings, as well as the district's need

265
00:11:40.605 --> 00:11:42.445
of having multiple contractors.

266
00:11:42.895 --> 00:11:44.805
Staff is requesting approval of awards

267
00:11:44.905 --> 00:11:49.325

Florida a SG Solutions, Dale Beasley Construction Company,

270
00:11:58.705 --> 00:12:01.645
and a SP Underground Solutions for

271
00:12:01.745 --> 00:12:03.565
as needed services at the unit.

272
00:12:03.565 --> 00:12:05.685
Pricing shown in Exhibit A

273
00:12:05.785 --> 00:12:08.325
to their respective agreements if approved.

274
00:12:08.385 --> 00:12:11.965
The initial term of each agreement shall be effective today

275
00:12:11.965 --> 00:12:14.685
through September 30th, 2026.

276
00:12:14.795 --> 00:12:17.845
With the option to renew for one two year period,

277
00:12:18.345 --> 00:12:19.725
prices will remain fixed

278
00:12:19.725 --> 00:12:23.605
and firm for the initial term with no increase exceeding 5%.

279
00:12:23.625 --> 00:12:25.125
And I'm here if you have any questions on these

280
00:12:25.125 --> 00:12:26.325
agreements or services.

281
00:12:32.145 --> 00:12:33.365
Any questions from the board?

282
00:12:35.325 --> 00:12:38.845
I, I am, um, I, I understand that the budget impact,

283
00:12:38.845 --> 00:12:40.965
you don't have a, you don't have a budget number.

284
00:12:41.025 --> 00:12:43.205
And I, I think I understand that, uh,

285
00:12:43.905 --> 00:12:46.045
the PEW Act side of this thing we did.

286
00:12:47.085 --> 00:12:50.265
So we did look, allocate $500,000.

287
00:12:51.365 --> 00:12:55.345
So hopefully we won't have a problem within our district.

288
00:12:55.445 --> 00:12:58.705
But in that event, uh, who, who knows

289
00:12:58.705 --> 00:13:00.065
how much it can cost, right?

290
00:13:00.705 --> 00:13:03.905
I mean, I understand there's some sort of a

291
00:13:04.985 --> 00:13:07.785
situation brewing outside of our door here.

292
00:13:08.605 --> 00:13:11.105
Um, is there a collapsed pipe?

293
00:13:13.405 --> 00:13:15.705
Are you familiar with that Mr. Wiley?

294
00:13:15.785 --> 00:13:16.665
I have Mr. Wiley come.

295
00:13:20.615 --> 00:13:23.345
Yeah, it happens. Yeah, this storm.

296
00:13:24.655 --> 00:13:25.665
Good afternoon. Herschel

297
00:13:25.745 --> 00:13:26.985
Wiley, district Property Management.

298
00:13:27.405 --> 00:13:28.665
So far the discovery on that

299
00:13:28.665 --> 00:13:30.665
for the inspection has been a depression there.

300
00:13:30.725 --> 00:13:32.865
And there's a joint there where two pipes are put together.

301
00:13:33.525 --> 00:13:34.705
All the surrounding field dirt

302
00:13:34.705 --> 00:13:36.705
and everything has been removed with the depression

303
00:13:36.705 --> 00:13:38.785
and the, the joint has separated.

304
00:13:39.085 --> 00:13:41.345
So they are getting, uh, price quotes now for repair

305
00:13:41.405 --> 00:13:42.465
and getting that scheduled,

306
00:13:42.465 --> 00:13:43.745
that that's what occurred over here.

307
00:13:44.005 --> 00:13:45.305
You're talking about, it's over here

308
00:13:45.305 --> 00:13:47.665
by the Greenfield Outdoor Fitness equipment, right? Right.

309
00:13:47.845 --> 00:13:49.865
Yes sir. So would that fall under this

310
00:13:50.145 --> 00:13:51.145
Contract? That would fall

311
00:13:51.145 --> 00:13:52.505
under this contract? Absolutely.

312
00:13:53.085 --> 00:13:56.065
So are you gonna bring back to us the re that mean is

313
00:13:56.065 --> 00:13:57.865
that, is that ours or is that P wax?

314
00:13:58.735 --> 00:13:59.705
That should be ours. It's

315
00:13:59.705 --> 00:14:00.745
on the recreation center property.

316
00:14:00.745 --> 00:14:04.635
In the, in the landscaping? Yeah,

That is ours. It

318
00:14:07.305 --> 00:14:08.395
it is project wide.

319
00:14:08.785 --> 00:14:12.635
Project wide. Yes, sir. Okay. That's gotcha. Yeah.

320
00:14:12.825 --> 00:14:14.635
Good thing we clarified that. Yeah. Yeah.

321
00:14:14.945 --> 00:14:15.995
Okay. You don't want that bill.

322
00:14:15.995 --> 00:14:17.595
That's, that's, thank you. I wanted to hear

00:14:18.215 --> 00:14:19.215
Not all by ourselves. Yeah.

324
00:14:19.215 --> 00:14:22.115
Alright. Any other questions?

325
00:14:25.465 --> 00:14:28.555
Nope. Uh, do we need to address these individually? I guess?

326
00:14:28.615 --> 00:14:31.475
Yes. No? Yes, yes. Yes. Okay.

327

354
00:16:01.465 --> 00:16:04.165
All right. Um, next in requesting approvals for awards

355
00:16:04.265 --> 00:16:06.125
for multiple contractors for request

356
00:16:06.125 --> 00:16:10.885
for qualifications 24 Q dash 0 2 8 For general maintenance

357
00:16:10.885 --> 00:16:15.205
service agreements of the r, maybe it's just me.

358
00:16:16.305 --> 00:16:19.205
The intent of the RFQ was to establish multiple contractors

359
00:16:19.305 --> 00:16:21.525
to provide on demand as needed, repair

360
00:16:21.545 --> 00:16:25.685
and rehab work for small to medium sized projects.

361
00:16:26.025 --> 00:16:28.685
The contractors would have the ability to provide services

362
00:16:29.425 --> 00:16:33.045
or via contractor, um, award.

363
00:16:33.045 --> 00:16:35.605
The contractors shall furnish all materials permitting,

364
00:16:35.605 --> 00:16:39.005
labor provision equipment, supplies, fees, expertise,

365
00:16:39.025 --> 00:16:41.205
and services on an as needed basis.

366
00:16:42.105 --> 00:16:46.125
On May 23rd, staff issued the RFQ an 11 responsive

367
00:16:46.125 --> 00:16:48.045
and responsible proposals were received

368
00:16:48.065 --> 00:16:50.405
and presented to the selection committee for review.

369
00:16:50.785 --> 00:16:53.085
The selection committee met on July 15th

370
00:16:53.145 --> 00:16:54.965
to score all respondents according

371
00:16:54.985 --> 00:16:57.245
to the criteria set forth in the RFQ,

372
00:16:57.855 --> 00:17:00.365
based on the selection committee scores, the district

373
00:17:00.365 --> 00:17:03.485
and the district's needs of having multiple, uh, contractors

374
00:17:03.625 --> 00:17:05.325
to provide these on demand services.

375
00:17:05.775 --> 00:17:09.725
Staff is requesting approval of awards to 10 contractors

376
00:17:09.945 --> 00:17:13.165
for RFQ 24 Q dash 0 2 8

377
00:17:13.385 --> 00:17:16.085
for general maintenance services on an as needed basis

378
00:17:16.665 --> 00:17:20.845
for an initial term of today through September 30th, 2027,

379
00:17:21.635 --> 00:17:24.445
with the option to renew for two one year periods.

380
00:17:24.585 --> 00:17:26.325
And again, pricing will remain fixed

381
00:17:26.325 --> 00:17:29.765
and firm for the initial term with no increase exceeding 5%.

382
00:17:29.905 --> 00:17:32.485
And I'm here if you have questions, these agreements.

383
00:17:32.955 --> 00:17:35.445
Alright. Any questions from the board, Mr. Chair?

384
00:17:35.745 --> 00:17:40.605
Dwayne, uh, Melissa, how come we see a, um, a breakdown for

385
00:17:41.595 --> 00:17:45.525
golf course, um, maintenance, I'll use that term,

386
00:17:45.985 --> 00:17:48.005
and for the exercise equipment in these

387
00:17:48.005 --> 00:17:49.765
requests for our district?

388
00:17:50.145 --> 00:17:54.125
Yep. So with these services in the past, we've had

389
00:17:54.145 --> 00:17:56.445
to reach out and get quotes

390
00:17:57.165 --> 00:17:58.525
'cause they were not under contract.

391
00:17:58.665 --> 00:18:02.885
So we needed to put out an RFQ for multiple types

392
00:18:02.905 --> 00:18:07.085
of services, handyman services, if you will, um, to get all

393
00:18:07.285 --> 00:18:09.565
of these contractors under an agreement

394
00:18:09.655 --> 00:18:14.525
where we could easily, uh, call them, give them a scope

395
00:18:14.545 --> 00:18:17.765
of the services needed, and have them go out and do them.

396
00:18:17.985 --> 00:18:21.445
You're thinking this is under the purview of project line.

397
00:18:21.785 --> 00:18:23.125
We don't have anything to do

398
00:18:23.125 --> 00:18:25.005
with golf courses at the district.

399
00:18:25.085 --> 00:18:27.165
A level. Ah, okay.

400
00:18:27.305 --> 00:18:30.045
Nor that's nor the exercise equipment. That's true. Yeah,

401
00:18:30.045 --> 00:18:31.045
That is true. Um,

402
00:18:31.045 --> 00:18:33.405
and again, I'm not quite sure if that

403
00:18:33.405 --> 00:18:34.765
that's their expertise.

404
00:18:35.275 --> 00:18:38.445
They may be able to do other services as well.

405
00:18:39.185 --> 00:18:42.045
So it, it would be good to just have 'em in your toolbox.

406
00:18:44.275 --> 00:18:46.405
Well, that's fine. I just want to be on record that it,

407
00:18:46.555 --> 00:18:48.485
it's really irrelevant to District eight.

408
00:18:48.585 --> 00:18:52.165
But those, that portion of these, uh, uh,

409
00:18:52.805 --> 00:18:57.205
requests are, um, in, in this not our expenses.

410
00:18:57.535 --> 00:19:01.165
We're, we're gonna approve this as as written. Uh mm-hmm.

411
00:19:01.865 --> 00:19:04.765
But I'll, I, I'd put that caveat in there.

412
00:19:04.885 --> 00:19:09.085
I guess do we need to discuss that?

413
00:19:09.245 --> 00:19:12.045
I mean, if, are we talking about taking on some expenses

414
00:19:12.195 --> 00:19:15.165
that aren't properly ours? That's as needed

415
00:19:15.375 --> 00:19:16.525
Again, is as needed.

416
00:19:17.145 --> 00:19:18.445
If needed, we would call them

417
00:19:18.465 --> 00:19:20.045
and you would have them readily available

418
00:19:20.265 --> 00:19:21.805
and you'd have a contract with them.

419
00:19:22.415 --> 00:19:25.485
Again, my question, I have another question is then do we,

420
00:19:25.625 --> 00:19:27.925
do we review a proposal at that time?

421
00:19:28.585 --> 00:19:29.845
In other words, we're gonna have a budget

422
00:19:30.145 --> 00:19:31.365
set up for this per se?

423
00:19:33.025 --> 00:19:35.805
No, you would not. District property management would

424
00:19:35.805 --> 00:19:40.725
again, uh, determine what service was needed, reach out

425
00:19:40.725 --> 00:19:43.125
to one of these contractors, get a quote from them.

426
00:19:43.315 --> 00:19:46.965
Okay. And these are only for small to medium sized projects.

427
00:19:47.305 --> 00:19:49.965
So a larger scale project, anything a hundred thousand

428
00:19:49.985 --> 00:19:52.285
and over would have to come back to the board

429
00:19:52.385 --> 00:19:54.965
for pre-approval before executing that contract.

430
00:19:55.145 --> 00:19:56.445
And most likely we'd be putting out a

431
00:19:56.445 --> 00:19:57.525
bid for that type of work.

432
00:19:57.915 --> 00:20:01.565
Does this fall into that 99,000 that you,

433
00:20:01.755 --> 00:20:02.755
Correct. Yes.

434
00:20:02.755 --> 00:20:03.805
Anything between 50

435
00:20:03.865 --> 00:20:05.485
and 99, a district manager

436
00:20:05.545 --> 00:20:06.645
can approve and you would see that.

437
00:20:06.655 --> 00:20:08.365
Again, these are for smaller scale.

438
00:20:08.745 --> 00:20:11.765
You would see it in the individual ITB coming for you

439
00:20:11.785 --> 00:20:13.325
for award with projects like that.

440
00:20:16.925 --> 00:20:20.365
Okay. Uh, am I okay? Yeah, I'm okay.

441
00:20:20.645 --> 00:20:22.165
I just wanted to make sure that, you know,

442
00:20:22.165 --> 00:20:24.005
we have some accounting going on Yeah.

443
00:20:24.395 --> 00:20:27.485
When something does occur, so we're aware of it. That's all.

444
00:20:27.515 --> 00:20:30.365
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Okay. That's,

445
00:20:32.185 --> 00:20:33.185
And yes, yes. Funding

446
00:20:33.185 --> 00:20:35.885
is in place for all of these projects.

447
00:20:36.345 --> 00:20:41.125
Yes. Okay. Thank you. Mm-hmm. Alright.

448
00:20:41.185 --> 00:20:44.485
So this was you going, you won to award to 10 of the 11.

449
00:20:45.235 --> 00:20:48.805
Correct. Alright. Right. Any, any further questions?

450
00:20:49.025 --> 00:20:50.725
Mac, you look like you're looking around.

451
00:20:51.465 --> 00:20:52.645
No, I'm just, I'm,

452
00:20:52.745 --> 00:20:55.445
I'm looking at different distances is all that's,

453
00:20:55.545 --> 00:20:56.545
Oh, okay.

454
00:20:56.685 --> 00:20:58.125
A little quiet this morning, but,

455
00:20:59.355 --> 00:21:00.355
Alright.

456
00:21:00.945 --> 00:21:01.165
Uh,

457
00:21:04.865 --> 00:21:09.325
uh, do I have a motion? Phil? Mr.

458
00:21:09.965 --> 00:21:12.405

00:21:13.545 --> 00:21:16.765
Uh, award for the RFQ 24 Q

460
00:21:17.515 --> 00:21:21.845
0, 28 general maintenance services to above mentioned

461
00:21:22.465 --> 00:21:25.205
10 contractors for as needed service

462
00:21:25.945 --> 00:21:29.365
as shown in Exhibit A for an initial term on

463
00:21:29.955 --> 00:21:32.405
October 18th, 2024

464
00:21:32.755 --> 00:21:35.925
through September 30th, 2027.

465
00:21:36.595 --> 00:21:41.085
With the option to renew for two one year period,

466
00:21:41.945 --> 00:21:43.725
prices will remain firm

467
00:21:44.345 --> 00:21:49.125
and fixed for the initial term with no increase exceeding 5%

468
00:21:49.785 --> 00:21:51.245
and authorize the chair

469
00:21:51.305 --> 00:21:53.805
and the vice chair to sign such agreement.

470
00:21:55.275 --> 00:21:57.805
Alright, we have a motion. Do we have a second? I'll

471
00:21:57.805 --> 00:21:58.805
Second.

472
00:21:59.635 --> 00:22:03.925
That was Ray. Yeah, we have a second. All in favor? Aye.

473
00:22:03.945 --> 00:22:07.365
Aye. Motions carried. Sounded unanimous. Thank you.

00:22:07.365 --> 00:22:10.805
Thank you. Alright,

475
00:22:10.985 --> 00:22:14.405
and a resolution on travel expense reimbursement policy.

476
00:22:18.155 --> 00:22:21.285
Good afternoon Board, Shannon Boyd, community Standards.

477
00:22:21.735 --> 00:22:22.805
Today I have, um,

478
00:22:23.165 --> 00:22:27.645
resolution 20 25 0 dash zero one travel expense

479
00:22:27.925 --> 00:22:29.525
reimbursement policy for the

480
00:22:29.525 --> 00:22:31.165
architectural review committee member.

481
00:22:31.705 --> 00:22:36.125
So at the July 19th, 2024 Village Community Development

482
00:22:36.365 --> 00:22:38.885
District number eight, board meeting the board directed

483
00:22:38.885 --> 00:22:41.885
staff to implement the policy for the reimbursement

484
00:22:41.885 --> 00:22:45.365
of travel expenses for the district eight a RC volunteers.

485
00:22:45.815 --> 00:22:47.925
After reviewing the IRS requirements

486
00:22:48.025 --> 00:22:49.485
for reimbursing volunteers,

487
00:22:49.945 --> 00:22:52.045
the community standards department coordinated

488
00:22:52.045 --> 00:22:54.445
with the finance department, budget department,

489
00:22:55.005 --> 00:22:57.445
district administration, and district legal counsel

490
00:22:57.785 --> 00:22:59.485
to establish a uniform process

491
00:22:59.705 --> 00:23:01.925
for reimbursing allowable travel expenses.

492
00:23:02.865 --> 00:23:05.245
So the policy applies to volunteer members

493
00:23:05.385 --> 00:23:08.285
of the architectural review committee for District eight.

494
00:23:08.985 --> 00:23:12.325
The reimbursable expenses is the mileages calculated

495
00:23:12.345 --> 00:23:15.765
by district staff for driving personal vehicles

496
00:23:15.785 --> 00:23:17.245
to attend official monthly

497
00:23:17.785 --> 00:23:20.405
or special a RC meetings For District eight,

498
00:23:20.785 --> 00:23:23.005
the mileage reimbursement will be calculated

499
00:23:23.105 --> 00:23:26.605
by staff based on the shortest route from the volunteers'

500
00:23:26.605 --> 00:23:28.445
residence to the meeting location.

501
00:23:29.185 --> 00:23:30.325
The reimbursement rates

502
00:23:30.385 --> 00:23:32.605
and limits the mileage reimbursement rate

503
00:23:32.625 --> 00:23:37.205
of 0.44 cents per mile as established by Florida statute

504
00:23:37.595 --> 00:23:41.805
with a maximum annual reimbursement limit of $575.

505
00:23:42.625 --> 00:23:45.645
The impact on the budget will be based on the miles from the

506
00:23:45.795 --> 00:23:47.485
volunteer's primary residence

507
00:23:47.825 --> 00:23:50.325
to the meeting location 4 52 weeks.

508
00:23:51.255 --> 00:23:54.765
Staff recommends that, uh, the District eight board

509
00:23:54.765 --> 00:23:57.685
of supervisors approve the reimbursement of travel expenses

510
00:23:58.025 --> 00:24:00.765
for the District eight architect architectural review

511
00:24:00.765 --> 00:24:01.925
committee volunteer.

512
00:24:02.425 --> 00:24:04.645
And I'm here to answer any questions that you may have.

513
00:24:05.905 --> 00:24:07.085
Any questions from the board?

514
00:24:08.065 --> 00:24:09.565
Dwayne, do we have an alternate?

515
00:24:10.785 --> 00:24:12.405
You do not have an alternate at this time.

516
00:24:14.025 --> 00:24:16.045
We never got a we never got any, uh,

517
00:24:16.105 --> 00:24:17.685
people stepping forward on that?

518
00:24:18.025 --> 00:24:22.405
No, sir. We need anybody interested.

519
00:24:24.475 --> 00:24:26.445
Many of the districts are without an all,

520
00:24:27.135 --> 00:24:28.325
There are some that are without.

521
00:24:28.505 --> 00:24:31.445
So my question is, if we do get an alternate, would the,

522
00:24:31.635 --> 00:24:34.965
that would also pay for that person's mileage as well?

523
00:24:35.225 --> 00:24:37.125
It would only be who is representing

524
00:24:37.405 --> 00:24:38.525
District eight at that meeting.

525
00:24:38.865 --> 00:24:41.645
So if it was the alternate that was there that day

526
00:24:41.705 --> 00:24:43.525
and not the primary, then it would be the

527
00:24:43.525 --> 00:24:44.725
alternate or it'd be the primary.

528
00:24:44.875 --> 00:24:46.125
It'd be one or the other. Okay.

529
00:24:46.615 --> 00:24:48.965
Thank you. Okay.

530
00:24:49.065 --> 00:24:50.765
Is there a, uh, is there a time

531
00:24:50.765 --> 00:24:52.125
limit for submittal of these?

532
00:24:52.285 --> 00:24:53.765
I mean, these are likely to be

533
00:24:54.975 --> 00:24:57.115
modest amounts. I mean, they Correct.

534
00:24:57.115 --> 00:24:58.235
They'll be submitted monthly.

535
00:24:58.645 --> 00:25:02.435
These for six, 12 months and just give you a list?

536
00:25:02.615 --> 00:25:04.595
Or you expect them to do it each time?

537
00:25:05.385 --> 00:25:08.435
Monthly we're gonna do it. Okay.

538
00:25:08.965 --> 00:25:10.275
It'll be turned in monthly. They'll

539
00:25:10.275 --> 00:25:11.595
Meet weekly, right? Yes.

540
00:25:11.905 --> 00:25:14.595
They meet weekly. So it'll be calculated weekly

541
00:25:14.695 --> 00:25:16.875
and then every month at the end of every month,

542
00:25:16.875 --> 00:25:19.635
they'll be turned in for reimbursement.

543
00:25:22.425 --> 00:25:24.715
It's a lot of paper. Yeah. Yeah.

544
00:25:25.385 --> 00:25:27.835
Well, I would make a motion to approve this resolution

545
00:25:27.975 --> 00:25:30.515
for the reimbursement of travel expenses for the

546
00:25:31.395 --> 00:25:33.835
VCDD number eight a RC Volunteer.

547
00:25:35.935 --> 00:25:37.635
We have a motion. Do we have a second?

548
00:25:37.855 --> 00:25:41.675
Got a second and a second. All in favor? Aye. Aye.

549
00:25:41.775 --> 00:25:42.995
Motion carried. Thank you.

550
00:25:42.995 --> 00:25:44.195
Thank you. Board. Thank you.

551
00:25:46.255 --> 00:25:49.035
Uh, old business, but I don't think we have any, do we? You

552
00:25:49.035 --> 00:25:52.795
Do not have any Old, we do not have any Mr. Wiley,

553
00:25:52.795 --> 00:25:54.395
maybe for DPM monthly.

554
00:25:56.695 --> 00:25:59.995
So the informational items are the DPM monthly report,

555
00:26:00.055 --> 00:26:01.155
the financial statements,

556
00:26:01.775 --> 00:26:03.395
and an update on your public hearing.

557
00:26:03.655 --> 00:26:04.795
Uh oh. Okay. Staff is here

558
00:26:04.935 --> 00:26:07.995
and ready to address any of them if you have any questions.

559
00:26:09.225 --> 00:26:13.795
Alright. Financial statements, public hearing update.

560
00:26:15.815 --> 00:26:17.075
Any questions for Brittany?

561
00:26:21.915 --> 00:26:24.755
I went to Brittany. Are

562
00:26:24.755 --> 00:26:28.315
there Alright.

563
00:26:28.655 --> 00:26:30.155
Uh, district manager reports?

564
00:26:30.735 --> 00:26:33.115
Yes. Just a few items this afternoon.

565
00:26:33.535 --> 00:26:35.955
Uh, the first is your post storm review.

566
00:26:36.415 --> 00:26:39.875
Um, so we, we initially put this on for Hurricane Helene,

567
00:26:40.135 --> 00:26:43.035
um, which we didn't shut down operations for that

568
00:26:43.225 --> 00:26:45.765
and anticipation of any type of inclement weather.

569
00:26:46.345 --> 00:26:47.725
Um, we were fortunate with that,

570
00:26:47.745 --> 00:26:49.925
but then Hurricane Milton came shortly thereafter.

571
00:26:50.705 --> 00:26:52.925
Um, so we do hope that, um, you know,

572
00:26:52.925 --> 00:26:54.405
we did send out a significant amount

573
00:26:54.405 --> 00:26:56.725
of emails from the surrounding jurisdictions

574
00:26:56.745 --> 00:26:59.765
and, uh, updates for district operations as well.

575
00:26:59.865 --> 00:27:01.645
So we do hope you found those beneficial

576
00:27:01.705 --> 00:27:04.285
and were able to share those out with, you know, all

577
00:27:04.285 --> 00:27:06.005
of your email distribution groups.

578
00:27:07.265 --> 00:27:11.605
Um, we did, um, immediately following Hurricane Milton, uh,

579
00:27:11.925 --> 00:27:15.685
district property management was, um, out and right

580
00:27:15.685 --> 00:27:17.525
after the storm passed to perform the assessment.

581
00:27:18.185 --> 00:27:21.645
Uh, prior to the storm we did put your debris haulers and

582
00:27:21.865 --> 00:27:23.885
or your hauler and your monitor on notice.

583
00:27:24.665 --> 00:27:27.245
Um, and we did proceed with activating them,

584
00:27:27.315 --> 00:27:30.845
following the storm just based on the amount of debris

585
00:27:30.845 --> 00:27:32.525
that was spread out throughout the community.

586
00:27:32.985 --> 00:27:35.965
Um, those were competitively solicited contracts through,

587
00:27:36.225 --> 00:27:37.725
uh, with series and volkert.

588
00:27:38.185 --> 00:27:41.485
Um, and they will be eligible for FEMA reimbursement.

589
00:27:41.625 --> 00:27:44.445
So we will be re uh, submitting, um, for

590
00:27:44.445 --> 00:27:46.205
that once the cleanup has occurred.

591
00:27:47.105 --> 00:27:48.925
Um, you will notice throughout the community,

592
00:27:49.345 --> 00:27:51.845
we are performing what's called the first push right now.

593
00:27:52.065 --> 00:27:55.525
So we are putting all of that debris into the right

594
00:27:55.525 --> 00:27:57.965
of way in anticipation of collection.

595
00:27:58.425 --> 00:28:01.005
And residents have the same opportunity to do that.

596
00:28:01.145 --> 00:28:05.005
If they have, um, bulky downed tree limbs, fence pieces,

597
00:28:05.125 --> 00:28:07.365
shingles, you put that in your right of way

598
00:28:07.365 --> 00:28:09.045
and the debris haulers will come through

599
00:28:09.385 --> 00:28:10.765
and, uh, collect that.

600
00:28:11.145 --> 00:28:14.725
Um, we are requesting that to be complete by October 20th,

601
00:28:15.185 --> 00:28:19.525
um, because we will have some trucks, um, starting next week

602
00:28:19.705 --> 00:28:21.085
to do the, the collection.

603
00:28:21.085 --> 00:28:23.285
And we'll be putting out additional information on that.

604
00:28:23.825 --> 00:28:26.885
Um, we are asking for patients, um, unfortunately

605
00:28:27.395 --> 00:28:30.325
this was a widespread event between the two storms, um,

606
00:28:30.325 --> 00:28:32.965
the west coast of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina.

607
00:28:33.385 --> 00:28:36.885
So the resources are spread out across multiple states

608
00:28:37.235 --> 00:28:38.885
with a significant amount of damage

609
00:28:39.235 --> 00:28:41.685
that it varies throughout those areas.

610
00:28:42.465 --> 00:28:45.685
Um, so if any of you were here for Irma, we're certainly,

611
00:28:46.225 --> 00:28:47.325
um, pushing for that.

612
00:28:47.325 --> 00:28:48.685
This to be more expeditious.

613
00:28:48.825 --> 00:28:51.845
Um, and we have been successful to date

614
00:28:51.985 --> 00:28:54.445
and the contractors have been responsive.

615
00:28:54.665 --> 00:28:57.565
Um, but we intend on beginning next week.

616
00:28:57.785 --> 00:29:00.485
Um, and we'll provide an update on when we, uh,

617
00:29:00.485 --> 00:29:01.645
think that will be complete.

618
00:29:03.505 --> 00:29:07.085
Uh, help me remember, was that number back with Irma?

619
00:29:07.085 --> 00:29:08.725
Was it a $70,000 number?

620
00:29:09.625 --> 00:29:13.045
Do you happen to remember offhand how much we,

621
00:29:13.625 --> 00:29:15.125
how much FEMA gave us? 80.

622
00:29:15.905 --> 00:29:19.045
So there were, yeah, 80, 80 million, 80,000 rather.

623
00:29:20.595 --> 00:29:22.325
Okay. Somewhere up in that neighborhood.

624
00:29:22.705 --> 00:29:25.765
If you remember with Irma, unfortunately, the, uh,

625
00:29:25.765 --> 00:29:29.485
jurisdictions got into a bidding war on their callers.

626
00:29:29.675 --> 00:29:33.645
Alright. So that they were drawn out

627
00:29:33.645 --> 00:29:35.565
of the area very quickly down to South Florida

628
00:29:35.565 --> 00:29:37.565
because they were paying more than contract amounts.

629
00:29:37.755 --> 00:29:40.765
Yeah. Um, so the board did authorize paying a,

630
00:29:41.185 --> 00:29:45.605
an additional, uh, supplement, which was not reimbursable.

631
00:29:46.665 --> 00:29:49.365
So we, everyone to date is adhering

632
00:29:49.385 --> 00:29:51.605
to the contractual amount.

633
00:29:55.385 --> 00:29:57.125
So we we're not seeing that this time.

634
00:29:59.185 --> 00:30:03.725
No. So our, our, uh, site manager with the hauler

635
00:30:03.745 --> 00:30:06.845
and our site manager with the monitoring company have been

636
00:30:06.845 --> 00:30:09.245
on site since a couple days after the storm.

637
00:30:09.865 --> 00:30:12.005
And they have been mobilizing all of the equipment

638
00:30:12.105 --> 00:30:13.365
for the debris disposal.

639
00:30:13.865 --> 00:30:16.845
And again, we will have trucks beginning on the major

640
00:30:16.845 --> 00:30:21.005
through affairs, um, possibly even by this weekend.

641
00:30:21.065 --> 00:30:22.565
But then beginning home sites

642
00:30:22.585 --> 00:30:24.805
and major thorough affairs next week.

643
00:30:26.625 --> 00:30:30.485
So this is pretty much according to what was anticipated.

644
00:30:30.995 --> 00:30:34.725
Well, I, I mean, I understand you. We need to use patients.

645
00:30:34.965 --> 00:30:39.885
I understand that. Um, is it

646
00:30:39.885 --> 00:30:44.085
because we fortunately did not have the kind

647
00:30:44.085 --> 00:30:47.285
of damage we see on the coast, does that have,

648
00:30:47.595 --> 00:30:48.805
does that set a priority?

649
00:30:49.505 --> 00:30:52.125
Um, so it is timing as well.

650
00:30:52.605 --> 00:30:54.245
I mean, not just, you have to wait until

651
00:30:54.245 --> 00:30:56.365
after a storm has passed to do your assessment

652
00:30:56.545 --> 00:30:59.125
and activate fully activate the haulers.

653
00:30:59.225 --> 00:31:03.405
Yep. Um, so what we've seen is in the Tri-County area,

654
00:31:03.585 --> 00:31:06.205
it seems like next week almost everybody is starting.

655
00:31:06.825 --> 00:31:08.765
Um, anyone that had started prior to

656
00:31:08.765 --> 00:31:12.965
that was from damage from Helene, which I mean,

657
00:31:12.965 --> 00:31:15.165
unfortunately we had such a tight turnaround

658
00:31:15.165 --> 00:31:18.165
with two storm events that impacted,

659
00:31:18.665 --> 00:31:21.115
uh, surrounding areas. So

660
00:31:21.665 --> 00:31:22.995
Were we mobilized for

661
00:31:25.415 --> 00:31:27.675
No, we did not because we didn't have any debris.

662
00:31:27.905 --> 00:31:31.315
Yeah. We had to mobilize after Milton. Right.

663
00:31:32.145 --> 00:31:34.075
Okay. Okay.

664
00:31:37.145 --> 00:31:40.115
Glad to hear that. Yeah, good morning. Thank you.

665
00:31:40.375 --> 00:31:43.915
That's a good point. Government day, maybe?

666
00:31:44.615 --> 00:31:47.475
Yes. Uh, just as a save the date Saturday, November 2nd.

667
00:31:47.575 --> 00:31:49.875
And for the benefit of the audience, um,

668
00:31:49.875 --> 00:31:51.835
government day is open to the public.

669
00:31:52.295 --> 00:31:55.075
Um, it's a great event with all of the local, state

670
00:31:55.075 --> 00:31:57.155
and federal agencies that serve the villages.

671
00:31:57.735 --> 00:32:00.035
Um, so we are certainly looking forward to that.

672
00:32:00.255 --> 00:32:03.195
You will note that we did shorten it by an hour, um,

673
00:32:03.195 --> 00:32:05.515
just based on an attendance drop off at noon.

674
00:32:05.515 --> 00:32:06.555
It was pretty significant.

675
00:32:07.415 --> 00:32:11.075
Um, but there is a signup sheet going around. Mm-hmm.

676
00:32:11.155 --> 00:32:13.635
If, if you can take your spot accordingly. Mm-hmm.

677
00:32:13.935 --> 00:32:17.195
Sounds like you've already done it. Great. Thank you.

678
00:32:18.375 --> 00:32:21.755
Uh, the next item is an update, um, from cco.

679
00:32:22.735 --> 00:32:26.115
So at your seat was a letter, uh, providing an update

680
00:32:26.215 --> 00:32:28.395
to our district management team.

681
00:32:28.895 --> 00:32:32.195
Um, they also mailed a copy as well to each of you,

682
00:32:32.195 --> 00:32:34.435
which it's the same information, both letters.

683
00:32:34.625 --> 00:32:36.195
It's it's identical information.

684
00:32:37.015 --> 00:32:39.965
Um, but essentially as you're aware, you're, you know,

685
00:32:39.965 --> 00:32:42.885
you were faced with, um, a significant increase

686
00:32:42.885 --> 00:32:44.805
that you're only paying 50% of

687
00:32:44.805 --> 00:32:46.485
that increase this current year.

688
00:32:47.025 --> 00:32:50.085
The other 50% to be a hundred percent was going

689
00:32:50.085 --> 00:32:51.885
to be October 1st, 2025.

690
00:32:52.585 --> 00:32:56.605
Um, CCO did advise that they have received a grant, um,

691
00:32:56.605 --> 00:33:00.765
which is, it's a 25% grant, 75% of low interest loan.

692
00:33:01.425 --> 00:33:03.245
Um, that totals a hundred million dollars.

693
00:33:03.945 --> 00:33:06.165
Um, what they are seeking to do,

694
00:33:06.165 --> 00:33:09.525
there's no commitment right now on a cost reduction,

695
00:33:09.705 --> 00:33:12.485
but they are looking to do a cost of service study

696
00:33:12.625 --> 00:33:17.605
and the first quarter of 2025 to determine if

697
00:33:17.605 --> 00:33:20.845
that, what of that grant money can be used

698
00:33:20.865 --> 00:33:23.325
to offset the LED upgrade program.

699
00:33:23.725 --> 00:33:26.525
'cause it would be applied to a new, um,

700
00:33:26.985 --> 00:33:28.445
new infrastructure, essentially.

701
00:33:28.585 --> 00:33:31.685
Mm-hmm. Um, so they, we expect to be,

702
00:33:31.865 --> 00:33:33.885
to hear information back between April

703
00:33:33.905 --> 00:33:37.765
and May from them, um, on what

704
00:33:37.765 --> 00:33:39.125
that, what that will look like.

705
00:33:39.385 --> 00:33:41.205
Um, so right now we're,

706
00:33:41.295 --> 00:33:43.485
we're in a holding pattern on that front.

707
00:33:44.145 --> 00:33:46.205
Um, with that said, there were some boards

708
00:33:46.205 --> 00:33:49.125
that expressed interest in, uh, firing polls.

709
00:33:49.785 --> 00:33:53.965
Um, so the CA board of trustees adopted a resolution

710
00:33:53.995 --> 00:33:57.565
that essentially states that, you know, they will work

711
00:33:57.565 --> 00:34:00.205
with district management and the respective boards.

712
00:34:00.265 --> 00:34:02.085
If they do want to pursue that,

713
00:34:02.115 --> 00:34:03.525
they're not gonna stand in the way.

714
00:34:04.065 --> 00:34:06.405
Um, there's some criteria that has to be met.

715
00:34:06.905 --> 00:34:11.005
Um, they would have to approve of the valuation consultant

716
00:34:11.075 --> 00:34:13.885
that the board would use to value the pole.

717
00:34:14.705 --> 00:34:17.245
Um, it is more than just the pole itself.

718
00:34:17.315 --> 00:34:19.645
It's the underground conductor, the existing pole,

719
00:34:19.745 --> 00:34:23.285
the existing light fixture, um, the metering system

720
00:34:23.625 --> 00:34:26.165
and the electricity would be metered by cco.

721
00:34:26.745 --> 00:34:29.125
Um, so it still doesn't negate needing

722
00:34:29.765 --> 00:34:31.565
electricity if you're just gonna acquire the pole.

723
00:34:32.105 --> 00:34:33.845
Um, and then of course, they would need

724
00:34:33.845 --> 00:34:36.605
to determine if they thought the valuation was

725
00:34:36.605 --> 00:34:37.685
fair, the price.

726
00:34:38.585 --> 00:34:43.005
Um, so district two has directed, um, Mr.

727
00:34:43.235 --> 00:34:47.805
Brianis to, um, pursue that option, uh, to see

728
00:34:47.875 --> 00:34:50.005
what infor, you know, how that plays out

729
00:34:50.005 --> 00:34:51.445
and what information is provided.

730
00:34:52.145 --> 00:34:55.565
And then District seven, um, has moved forward with

731
00:34:56.095 --> 00:35:00.405
requesting staff develop an RFP, um, or,

732
00:35:00.465 --> 00:35:02.005
or scope for an RFP

733
00:35:02.105 --> 00:35:04.605
for an alternative lighting solution for solar lighting.

734
00:35:05.015 --> 00:35:08.805
Which would, they would, if, if they went that route,

735
00:35:08.835 --> 00:35:11.165
they would not utilize any electricity

736
00:35:11.265 --> 00:35:12.605
or the existing poles.

737
00:35:13.105 --> 00:35:16.685
Um, so they're, they're going to be looking at that.

738
00:35:17.105 --> 00:35:19.205
Um, we expect that

739
00:35:19.205 --> 00:35:22.085
that scope would be provided to them in November.

740
00:35:22.515 --> 00:35:26.445
They'll provide feedback, um, once it's firmed up.

741
00:35:26.755 --> 00:35:28.405
They would like to share that with all

742
00:35:28.405 --> 00:35:30.565
of the other boards in January timeframe

743
00:35:30.625 --> 00:35:34.765
to determine if there's any interest in, um, joining

744
00:35:34.795 --> 00:35:36.085
with them in that venture.

745
00:35:36.705 --> 00:35:39.685
Um, so right now there's a, there's a whole

746
00:35:39.715 --> 00:35:43.725
what we would recommend being a, a holding period, um,

747
00:35:44.265 --> 00:35:46.805
to determine what happens with District two, district seven

748
00:35:47.585 --> 00:35:50.685
and, um, the first quarter of 2025,

749
00:35:51.355 --> 00:35:54.165
what C Eco provides back from their cost of service study.

750
00:35:55.875 --> 00:35:58.725
Okay. I I, I got to tell you notionally, it sounds nuts.

751
00:35:59.365 --> 00:36:01.125
I mean, they're gonna have to buy, they're gonna have

752
00:36:01.125 --> 00:36:04.605
to have their own trucks or own wineman. I mean

753
00:36:05.435 --> 00:36:06.435
Yeah. They'll

754
00:36:06.435 --> 00:36:08.285
have to be a power company. Yeah.

755
00:36:08.315 --> 00:36:09.365
Even if it is solar power.

756
00:36:09.465 --> 00:36:11.085
How, how many poles in District two

757
00:36:11.425 --> 00:36:12.885
are, are they talking about?

758
00:36:13.165 --> 00:36:14.245
I think there were 30 or

759
00:36:15.465 --> 00:36:16.165
30. 30.

760
00:36:16.395 --> 00:36:17.485
Yeah. Somewhere Around there.

761
00:36:17.485 --> 00:36:19.845
Significantly lower than the Southern district

762
00:36:19.845 --> 00:36:22.365
Because we're what, over 600? Yeah, 600. Yeah.

763
00:36:22.435 --> 00:36:24.925
Yeah. Some District six I think has a thousand.

764
00:36:25.465 --> 00:36:29.285
You have over 600. District seven has over 700. Yeah.

765
00:36:32.955 --> 00:36:34.605
Yeah. They can always have a, you know,

766
00:36:34.745 --> 00:36:36.165
buy 30 candles for backup.

767
00:36:36.635 --> 00:36:40.165
Sure. Um, so, you know, it's not like us where we have it,

768
00:36:40.505 --> 00:36:44.685
but, uh, quick question, does District two and seven

769
00:36:44.745 --> 00:36:46.085
and their efforts is

770
00:36:46.085 --> 00:36:49.445
that it all gonna impact the other districts going forward?

771
00:36:49.645 --> 00:36:51.565
I mean that's, I I heard, you know,

772
00:36:51.565 --> 00:36:52.845
we will know about the CCO

773
00:36:52.845 --> 00:36:55.125
and the grant in, I think you said January,

774
00:36:55.905 --> 00:36:58.885
but there's nothing else on hold because of two and seven.

775
00:36:59.305 --> 00:37:03.645
Uh, no CCO and the grant would be April May timeframe.

776
00:37:03.735 --> 00:37:04.765
April May, that they'll,

777
00:37:04.765 --> 00:37:06.765
that they'll communicate back on their cost

778
00:37:06.765 --> 00:37:09.805
of service study district two.

779
00:37:10.555 --> 00:37:12.805
It's, they've provided direction to Mr.

780
00:37:12.955 --> 00:37:16.125
Brianne from, uh, the legal aspect of acquiring those.

781
00:37:16.825 --> 00:37:21.005
Uh, district seven is developing the scope for an RFP.

782
00:37:22.075 --> 00:37:24.845
They're, at this point, they are more interested in

783
00:37:24.845 --> 00:37:27.845
what the, the price is of any type of solution.

784
00:37:27.955 --> 00:37:31.765
Sure. So they're not set to move forward with any anything.

785
00:37:31.765 --> 00:37:35.725
Right now it's, it's getting us an RFP out there to find out

786
00:37:35.725 --> 00:37:36.965
what the pricing looks like.

787
00:37:37.505 --> 00:37:40.005
So bottom line, there's no impact to the other districts.

788
00:37:40.285 --> 00:37:41.285
Whatever they

789
00:37:41.685 --> 00:37:42.685
No. Other than the existing impact

790
00:37:42.685 --> 00:37:43.325
of your,

791
00:37:43.585 --> 00:37:46.845
you right now you're experiencing 50% of

792
00:37:46.845 --> 00:37:48.805
that increase, right. From cco,

793
00:37:49.225 --> 00:37:52.045
But costs are expenses because of what two

794
00:37:52.045 --> 00:37:53.405
and seven are doing.

795
00:37:53.405 --> 00:37:57.765
Yeah. We want to avoid those here, I hope.

796
00:37:57.765 --> 00:38:00.725
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I sent you that meeting. Yeah.

797
00:38:00.875 --> 00:38:02.565
When the guy presented the District seven

798
00:38:04.065 --> 00:38:06.005
and I thought it was gonna be a workshop.

799
00:38:06.225 --> 00:38:09.965
It was more of a sale, you know, pitch.

800
00:38:10.025 --> 00:38:11.405
You know, I would imagine

801
00:38:11.405 --> 00:38:12.525
that's the company they're looking at.

802
00:38:14.265 --> 00:38:16.965
No, they had, they had done a request for information.

803
00:38:17.145 --> 00:38:19.725
So they had different providers that submitted for that.

804
00:38:20.225 --> 00:38:24.885
If, if they go out on RFP, any company

805
00:38:24.885 --> 00:38:27.645
that is interested would submit their proposal through

806
00:38:27.645 --> 00:38:29.085
that solicitation process.

807
00:38:29.435 --> 00:38:33.965
Okay. I can't imagine.

808
00:38:33.965 --> 00:38:36.285
Might be in their business, but No, I just

809
00:38:36.815 --> 00:38:38.525
notionally it's a non-starter.

810
00:38:39.115 --> 00:38:41.085
Well, I think that's, you know, it's an indication

811
00:38:41.265 --> 00:38:43.045
how frustrating this issue is.

812
00:38:43.225 --> 00:38:47.165
That's right. I mean, it is a no win, no win.

813
00:38:47.845 --> 00:38:51.005
I don't care how you look at it. Yep. Here they go ahead.

814
00:38:51.485 --> 00:38:55.245
'cause they're a utility and jack the prices up

815
00:38:55.605 --> 00:38:56.885
hundreds of percent.

816
00:38:57.945 --> 00:39:00.565
It was a factor six, I think. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

817
00:39:01.345 --> 00:39:03.765
So we have nothing and there's nothing that we can do.

818
00:39:03.965 --> 00:39:06.805
I, I frankly applauded these two districts

819
00:39:06.805 --> 00:39:09.605
for least attempting to look into alternatives.

820
00:39:09.665 --> 00:39:11.245
And I, I appreciate that.

821
00:39:11.865 --> 00:39:14.245
On the other hand, I wish them success,

822
00:39:14.345 --> 00:39:17.765
but I doubt we'll see it. Maybe I'll be wrong.

823
00:39:18.305 --> 00:39:20.725
And we'll keep you up to date as that progresses.

824
00:39:24.465 --> 00:39:27.445
All right. Thank you. Uh, deep compliance, I think

825
00:39:34.875 --> 00:39:36.725
Shannon Boyd community standards.

826
00:39:36.985 --> 00:39:39.765
So I will be going over with you, your deed compliance

827
00:39:39.785 --> 00:39:44.445
and architectural review statistics for fiscal year 2324.

828
00:39:46.105 --> 00:39:47.085
So for fiscal year

829
00:39:47.085 --> 00:39:51.005
twenty three, twenty four, a hundred and ninety six concerns

830
00:39:51.025 --> 00:39:52.805
we received for District eight.

831
00:39:53.385 --> 00:39:57.685
Out of those 196 concerns, 30 of them, uh, led

832
00:39:57.685 --> 00:39:58.925
to a written violation.

833
00:39:59.305 --> 00:40:01.885
And out of those 30 written violations, two

834
00:40:01.885 --> 00:40:03.365
of them ended up at a public hearing.

835
00:40:04.345 --> 00:40:08.405
Um, below you'll see multiple concerns by one person.

836
00:40:09.265 --> 00:40:13.005
So there were two individuals that submitted between two

837
00:40:13.025 --> 00:40:14.205
and five concerns,

838
00:40:14.505 --> 00:40:15.845
and there was one individual

839
00:40:15.995 --> 00:40:17.885
that submitted over six concerns.

840
00:40:19.875 --> 00:40:22.165
This is, uh, then we have the graph view of it

841
00:40:22.235 --> 00:40:24.725
that just kind of shows you the trend over the

842
00:40:24.725 --> 00:40:25.805
past three years.

843
00:40:28.715 --> 00:40:30.765
Here it is monthly concerns.

844
00:40:30.785 --> 00:40:33.965
So you, it's broken down monthly for the number of concerns,

845
00:40:34.545 --> 00:40:38.685
the verified concerns, and the unverified concerns.

846
00:40:39.425 --> 00:40:43.685
Um, you have over 75% of verified concerns.

847
00:40:44.625 --> 00:40:49.045
The unverified concerns could be, um, an incorrect address.

848
00:40:49.865 --> 00:40:52.205
It could be trash that was put out too early

849
00:40:52.225 --> 00:40:53.645
by the time staff gets out there,

850
00:40:53.825 --> 00:40:56.205
the trash company had already come by and picked it up.

851
00:40:56.665 --> 00:40:59.485
It could be an RV that's been in the driveway, staff goes

852
00:40:59.485 --> 00:41:00.805
by the rv, isn't there?

853
00:41:01.105 --> 00:41:04.245
So that's what some of the non-verifiable ones are.

854
00:41:06.585 --> 00:41:09.005
Uh, and here are the types of concerns received.

855
00:41:09.425 --> 00:41:12.365
Um, the number one concern between your district

856
00:41:12.425 --> 00:41:14.965
and all throughout all the districts is the appearance

857
00:41:14.965 --> 00:41:16.445
of home and or lot.

858
00:41:16.705 --> 00:41:18.405
So you'll see 147

859
00:41:19.185 --> 00:41:21.725
of your concerns were based on that.

860
00:41:21.905 --> 00:41:23.125
The appearance of home and

861
00:41:23.145 --> 00:41:26.325
or lot that tends to be your overgrown grass, your weeds,

862
00:41:26.435 --> 00:41:29.165
mold on the home tends to be those complaints.

863
00:41:29.785 --> 00:41:34.645
Um, your second one was, uh, a RC, um, which a RC,

864
00:41:34.645 --> 00:41:36.485
that would be someone making a modification

865
00:41:36.485 --> 00:41:38.525
to their property without first receiving

866
00:41:38.525 --> 00:41:39.685
architectural approval.

867
00:41:40.105 --> 00:41:42.525
Um, and also miscellaneous, that could be,

868
00:41:42.665 --> 00:41:44.125
um, a number of items.

869
00:41:45.385 --> 00:41:47.725
And then we have your a RC applications process.

870
00:41:48.025 --> 00:41:51.005
So this year, the A RC committee, um,

871
00:41:51.645 --> 00:41:56.045
reviewed 763 applications from District eight.

872
00:41:57.185 --> 00:42:01.005
So those are your fiscal year, 2324 statistics.

873
00:42:01.005 --> 00:42:02.885
And I'm here to answer any questions that you may have.

874
00:42:04.875 --> 00:42:06.085
I've got a couple. Okay.

875
00:42:06.345 --> 00:42:09.485
Uh, I, I take it, uh, and I haven't looked online.

876
00:42:10.195 --> 00:42:14.245
Does each district now have the same layout?

877
00:42:14.515 --> 00:42:16.725
Same information, yes, sir. Okay.

878
00:42:17.265 --> 00:42:20.885
And also, I did look on this and wasn't able to find it.

879
00:42:21.345 --> 00:42:24.365
Um, as you imagine the position I'm in right now,

880
00:42:24.405 --> 00:42:26.845
I get a lot of questions on this

881
00:42:27.435 --> 00:42:29.485
that actually I can't answer.

882
00:42:29.705 --> 00:42:32.445
And it's because, uh, people want

883
00:42:32.445 --> 00:42:34.845
to see like a flow chart or something.

884
00:42:34.955 --> 00:42:37.685
Like when, when a, when a complaint comes in

885
00:42:38.425 --> 00:42:41.205
and they're in knowing the terms, like concerns,

886
00:42:41.205 --> 00:42:44.725
written violations, public hearing, most people, and I'll,

887
00:42:45.025 --> 00:42:49.045
and I agree with this, this is probably the number one most,

888
00:42:49.705 --> 00:42:53.765
uh, misinformation, uh,

889
00:42:54.445 --> 00:42:56.045
i item we have in the villages.

890
00:42:56.865 --> 00:43:01.285
So my question to you, my direct question is, do we

891
00:43:01.795 --> 00:43:05.365
have, uh, a, a sheet with the definitions

892
00:43:05.545 --> 00:43:08.925
and a flow chart, like when something comes in,

893
00:43:08.925 --> 00:43:11.605
when someone complains, what happens with that?

894
00:43:12.315 --> 00:43:15.085
Here we've got the numbers, but we don't have the process.

895
00:43:16.625 --> 00:43:19.765
Um, online, under the adopted rule is appendix B,

896
00:43:19.855 --> 00:43:23.045
which does step by step, um,

897
00:43:23.465 --> 00:43:25.885
go from once a concern is received

898
00:43:25.945 --> 00:43:27.845
and go step by step in the process.

899
00:43:28.195 --> 00:43:29.965
Okay. So it's under the district adopted

900
00:43:29.975 --> 00:43:32.445
Rules, our adopted rule is appendix B.

901
00:43:32.445 --> 00:43:35.565
Correct. Okay. Probably the only place I didn't look. Okay.

902
00:43:35.705 --> 00:43:36.965
So, okay. Thank you. That's

903
00:43:36.965 --> 00:43:38.325
Where they're located for all the districts.

904
00:43:40.155 --> 00:43:43.245
Yeah. In, in the world of government program management,

905
00:43:43.425 --> 00:43:45.405
uh, process charts are key.

906
00:43:45.985 --> 00:43:50.885
You have to manage processes. Yeah. Yeah. Yep.

907
00:43:51.315 --> 00:43:52.565
Okay. I'll take a look at that

908
00:43:52.565 --> 00:43:53.605
and thank you very much. Okay.

909
00:43:53.605 --> 00:43:55.725
You're very welcome. Alright,

910
00:43:55.825 --> 00:43:57.885
any more questions on the compliance?

911
00:44:00.395 --> 00:44:01.445
That, thank you.

912
00:44:01.925 --> 00:44:04.885
I I did, I did have one. And where do we stand?

913
00:44:05.045 --> 00:44:09.405
I know it had come up earlier about internal violations that

914
00:44:10.085 --> 00:44:11.925
appeared and then was pulling away.

915
00:44:11.965 --> 00:44:15.925
I, I understand that is still the purview of the developer

916
00:44:15.985 --> 00:44:19.365
and that's due to a law or

917
00:44:20.145 --> 00:44:24.405
That's due to the Florida statute that only allows CDs

918
00:44:24.425 --> 00:44:26.965
to address the external appearances of

919
00:44:26.965 --> 00:44:27.965
Properties. Okay. So

920
00:44:27.965 --> 00:44:29.325
we're just Xed out of that.

921
00:44:29.425 --> 00:44:30.805
We can't do that. Correct.

922
00:44:31.235 --> 00:44:34.335
Okay. No, I understand that There's some,

923
00:44:34.485 --> 00:44:36.135
there's some movement to change that

924
00:44:36.985 --> 00:44:38.575
There hasn't been movement in a while.

925
00:44:38.755 --> 00:44:41.575
We had initial meetings with the developer,

926
00:44:41.635 --> 00:44:44.795
but nothing, um, came of that just again,

927
00:44:44.795 --> 00:44:47.355
because there's concerns with statutory language.

928
00:44:47.695 --> 00:44:51.875
Mm-hmm. Okay. Mm-hmm. Yep. Thank you. Okay.

929
00:44:52.745 --> 00:44:55.955
Alright. Anything else from the district manager?

930
00:44:56.395 --> 00:44:57.475
I have a question. Dwayne.

931
00:44:58.535 --> 00:45:02.555
Um, Brittany, I've been following this, uh,

932
00:45:03.985 --> 00:45:06.115
idea of staff moving to Brownwood.

933
00:45:06.335 --> 00:45:10.115
Mm-hmm. And you, you've been involved in that? Yes.

934
00:45:10.115 --> 00:45:14.235
Uh, from what I can gather, um, that,

935
00:45:14.335 --> 00:45:17.275
and I'm, I, I'm not passing judgment on that at all.

936
00:45:17.515 --> 00:45:19.195
I, you know, you've gotta do what you gotta do.

937
00:45:19.655 --> 00:45:23.035
But the, the number that I see, the, the lease number,

938
00:45:23.295 --> 00:45:27.115
pretty significant over a million bucks a year, uh,

939
00:45:27.155 --> 00:45:28.315
million and a half, I think.

940
00:45:28.615 --> 00:45:31.715
Who pays that? Where does that money come from?

941
00:45:32.375 --> 00:45:35.355
So that's paid out of general fund through Village Center.

942
00:45:36.055 --> 00:45:39.875
Um, and so the contributions from general fund are

943
00:45:40.615 --> 00:45:42.315
varied from, from every district

944
00:45:42.345 --> 00:45:46.275
that is receiving management services, utility districts,

945
00:45:47.335 --> 00:45:50.715
all of that is, is supporting what's going into general

946
00:45:50.715 --> 00:45:52.035
fund, the amenity division.

947
00:45:55.015 --> 00:45:57.475
How does that impact us directly?

948
00:45:58.315 --> 00:46:01.335
It doesn't. So your management fees are a percentage

949
00:46:01.335 --> 00:46:02.535
of your operating budget

950
00:46:03.355 --> 00:46:06.655
and there is no direct impact to you for this move.

951
00:46:07.075 --> 00:46:09.095
Now, I, I know you, you saw the number,

952
00:46:09.225 --> 00:46:11.495
there were two leases combined in there.

953
00:46:11.565 --> 00:46:14.215
Okay. So it wasn't just, there were, there were two leases.

954
00:46:14.215 --> 00:46:18.015
It's for a, um, the ones coming online are the, um,

955
00:46:18.105 --> 00:46:19.815
annex office that will be in Lake Sumter landing

956
00:46:19.815 --> 00:46:22.815
for customer service, and then the office

957
00:46:22.905 --> 00:46:24.335
lease in Brownwood.

958
00:46:24.435 --> 00:46:26.975
So they, the board combined both of them together,

959
00:46:27.595 --> 00:46:30.735
but we're also canceling three leases

960
00:46:31.475 --> 00:46:32.815
in Lake Sumter Landing.

961
00:46:32.995 --> 00:46:36.815
So we're, we're canceling our office at 9 84 Old Mill run,

962
00:46:36.995 --> 00:46:38.415
10 71 Canal Street,

963
00:46:38.995 --> 00:46:40.015
and, um,

964
00:46:42.395 --> 00:46:44.935
the nine 40 Lake Shore Drive building Coggins.

965
00:46:45.515 --> 00:46:48.415
So we're eliminating three and we're adding two.

966
00:46:49.035 --> 00:46:51.375
So you have to, you do have to deduct out the

967
00:46:52.725 --> 00:46:54.895
Well, I, and I appreciate that and

968
00:46:54.895 --> 00:46:56.095
because really what I've read

969
00:46:56.115 --> 00:46:58.535
so far does not explain it just as you have here.

970
00:46:58.555 --> 00:47:00.335
Mm-hmm. I mean, okay.

971
00:47:00.335 --> 00:47:01.775
We, we dropped three different,

972
00:47:01.775 --> 00:47:03.535
or four different locations in favor

973
00:47:03.595 --> 00:47:05.775
of the new one is what you're saying.

974
00:47:06.505 --> 00:47:08.255
Right. Through a consolidation process.

975
00:47:09.035 --> 00:47:11.815
Yes. Now I, I will tell you that overall,

976
00:47:11.925 --> 00:47:15.095
even when you deduct it out, it is still an increase over

977
00:47:15.095 --> 00:47:16.295
what we're currently paying.

978
00:47:16.385 --> 00:47:19.575
Right. But we're also gaining almost 7,000 square feet

979
00:47:19.635 --> 00:47:20.815
at the Brownwood location,

980
00:47:21.665 --> 00:47:24.015
Which obviously you need, We need.

981
00:47:24.405 --> 00:47:28.775
Yeah. And that doesn't, that also doesn't include all

982
00:47:28.775 --> 00:47:30.005
of the, of the service contracts.

983
00:47:30.105 --> 00:47:31.325
You know, right now we're spread out

984
00:47:31.325 --> 00:47:34.565
amongst all those facilities for janitorial, um,

985
00:47:34.915 --> 00:47:37.925
pest electricity, all, you know, all

986
00:47:37.925 --> 00:47:41.805
of those ancillary costs have not been deducted out either

987
00:47:41.945 --> 00:47:45.325
to combine into that one new location.

988
00:47:45.945 --> 00:47:48.925
So when we go through our budget process again

989
00:47:49.105 --> 00:47:52.325
and look at our district management budget number,

990
00:47:53.315 --> 00:47:57.485
it's going to reflect all of the things that, uh,

991
00:47:57.785 --> 00:47:59.765
go into the paying for the rent

992
00:47:59.785 --> 00:48:01.045
or lease and that sort of thing.

993
00:48:01.385 --> 00:48:03.325
So you pay Village Center

994
00:48:03.505 --> 00:48:05.565
for Management services across the board.

995
00:48:05.645 --> 00:48:07.605
Right. That includes, you know,

996
00:48:07.605 --> 00:48:10.285
your district management team, um, finance, budget,

997
00:48:10.295 --> 00:48:13.685
purchasing, community standards, um, DPM,

998
00:48:13.925 --> 00:48:16.525
although I'm not missing anybody, it, it covers all

999
00:48:16.525 --> 00:48:17.925
of those services within there.

1000
00:48:18.065 --> 00:48:21.725
And then everything that it takes to support you with that

1001
00:48:22.365 --> 00:48:25.805
overhead, which would be, you know, uh, buildings and such.

1002
00:48:25.985 --> 00:48:28.765
But your fee isn't based on that lease.

1003
00:48:29.035 --> 00:48:32.685
It's based on the percentage of your operating budget for us

1004
00:48:32.785 --> 00:48:34.085
to help manage you,

1005
00:48:34.905 --> 00:48:35.805
You know, off the top of your head

1006
00:48:35.805 --> 00:48:36.925
what that percentage is.

1007
00:48:38.725 --> 00:48:41.005
Hmm. It's 10%. Okay. Thanks.

1008
00:48:41.425 --> 00:48:43.605
That's right. That's our number. Mm-hmm. Yes.

1009
00:48:43.905 --> 00:48:45.605
That's our, that's your number management.

1010
00:48:45.915 --> 00:48:48.245
Alright. Thank you very much. You're

1011
00:48:48.245 --> 00:48:49.245
Welcome.

1012
00:48:51.955 --> 00:48:56.805
Alright. Um, let's adjust the schedule a bit

1013
00:48:56.805 --> 00:48:59.645
here to go to, uh, project wide advisory.

1014
00:49:00.465 --> 00:49:04.045
Yes. Yes. That's a good idea. Let me get to it.

1015
00:49:06.755 --> 00:49:10.285
Project wide meeting, um, this past Monday,

1016
00:49:11.265 --> 00:49:14.365
and, uh, much of what we talked about here is

1017
00:49:14.365 --> 00:49:15.685
what we had in front of us,

1018
00:49:16.075 --> 00:49:18.805
including the geological anomaly,

1019
00:49:19.505 --> 00:49:21.245
uh, re requests.

1020
00:49:21.945 --> 00:49:25.285
So that was also approved at the PEW Act level.

1021
00:49:25.985 --> 00:49:30.285
And we did set aside a half a million dollars budget it

1022
00:49:31.345 --> 00:49:32.565
to be used as needed.

1023
00:49:33.305 --> 00:49:37.845
So, uh, uh, let's see, old business,

1024
00:49:38.505 --> 00:49:42.525
uh, provide five year,

1025
00:49:42.835 --> 00:49:44.765
year over year projections and revenues

1026
00:49:44.785 --> 00:49:47.485
and expenditures the budget director will provide as part

1027
00:49:47.485 --> 00:49:49.085
of the upcoming budget review process.

1028
00:49:50.745 --> 00:49:54.485
Little more information with regard to that along with, uh,

1029
00:49:55.265 --> 00:49:57.285
uh, percentage of amenity fees

1030
00:49:57.445 --> 00:50:02.205
that the community fund community fund watch, uh, is using.

1031
00:50:03.345 --> 00:50:05.565
Uh, we'll be looking at that.

1032
00:50:05.995 --> 00:50:09.365
Provide an update on long range, uh, card reader project.

1033
00:50:09.545 --> 00:50:12.285
The district is testing a new model, um,

1034
00:50:13.135 --> 00:50:16.645
after testing two models that did not meet the needs once

1035
00:50:17.335 --> 00:50:20.485
successful completion of the evaluation period.

1036
00:50:21.595 --> 00:50:23.245
This will be fun. The readers will be offered

1037
00:50:23.245 --> 00:50:24.645
to the members of PA.

1038
00:50:27.855 --> 00:50:31.245
We'll see how that goes. Well, the idea is

1039
00:50:31.245 --> 00:50:32.885
to stay dry right in the room.

1040
00:50:35.135 --> 00:50:38.085
Right. I hope you ask for the alternates to get one too.

1041
00:50:39.875 --> 00:50:44.245
I'll do that. Uh, non PA items, uh,

1042
00:50:45.825 --> 00:50:48.685
we had a discussion about registration of golf carts

1043
00:50:48.865 --> 00:50:53.165
and I don't think that's going to go anywhere.

1044
00:50:53.605 --> 00:50:58.485
I might be wrong. Uh, I just, uh, Mr.

1045
00:50:59.035 --> 00:51:03.325
Said, you know, statute one 90, the district, the ability

1046
00:51:03.385 --> 00:51:06.525
to require residents register their carts or,

1047
00:51:06.985 --> 00:51:08.805
or enforcement authority.

1048
00:51:08.895 --> 00:51:12.045
Right. Law enforcement, huh. Yeah.

1049
00:51:12.225 --> 00:51:15.485
So it's like, it's like a lot of things here.

1050
00:51:15.505 --> 00:51:17.885
We don't have a police power within the villages

1051
00:51:17.885 --> 00:51:19.165
other than the Sheriff's department.

1052
00:51:21.875 --> 00:51:25.885
Okay. Uh, presented provide, presented of gate breaks

1053
00:51:25.915 --> 00:51:27.965
that were not well here again,

1054
00:51:28.665 --> 00:51:32.245
um, you can see the numbers.

1055
00:51:32.805 --> 00:51:34.245
I think where they were going with this.

1056
00:51:34.425 --> 00:51:38.445
The golf cart incident, uh, they had, uh, 392,

1057
00:51:40.105 --> 00:51:44.125
uh, with a good 98,000, but collected 7,200.

1058
00:51:45.225 --> 00:51:49.045
In other words, they, they can't tell whose cart that is

1059
00:51:49.145 --> 00:51:51.205
or it is what it is.

1060
00:51:53.635 --> 00:51:55.325
Okay. Uh, then the,

1061
00:51:55.545 --> 00:51:57.765
the slag fund pretty much the same thing.

1062
00:51:58.955 --> 00:52:03.605
Okay. Um, um, okay, let me talk about this.

1063
00:52:05.545 --> 00:52:08.845
Uh, under new business, uh, we reviewed

1064
00:52:08.845 --> 00:52:11.685
and approved a request to establish a blanket drawdown

1065
00:52:12.045 --> 00:52:15.205
purchase of reporter for Harold's from the dis dis direct

1066
00:52:15.525 --> 00:52:17.005
purchase of fertilizer, chemical

1067
00:52:17.025 --> 00:52:20.925
and seed inputs for all the district owned executive golf

1068
00:52:20.925 --> 00:52:23.765
courses, lawn bowling and putting courses.

1069
00:52:25.545 --> 00:52:29.965
Now, as you recall, uh, there was a, a three, uh,

1070
00:52:30.295 --> 00:52:33.645
$7 million spent on golf course, uh,

1071
00:52:34.505 --> 00:52:37.005
rehabilitation this year,

1072
00:52:38.145 --> 00:52:42.805
of which 2.3 million is to be spent on this direct drop down

1073
00:52:42.905 --> 00:52:47.365
for the necessary chemicals and fertilizer and seed.

1074
00:52:48.145 --> 00:52:51.565
Um, it just also, it's important to note that

1075
00:52:52.115 --> 00:52:56.925
it's been a lot of, I'm gonna say a paradigm shift

1076
00:52:56.955 --> 00:53:00.885
because of the way the, the district is now

1077
00:53:01.805 --> 00:53:04.365
treating, uh, contractors, if you will,

1078
00:53:04.465 --> 00:53:07.925
and to maintain these courses once they're,

1079
00:53:08.315 --> 00:53:09.405
once they're playable.

1080
00:53:10.105 --> 00:53:12.085
And what I mean by that is they're,

1081
00:53:12.155 --> 00:53:13.485
they're taking 'em to school.

1082
00:53:13.685 --> 00:53:17.125
They're telling them how these courses need to be maintained

1083
00:53:17.465 --> 00:53:21.125
and it's gonna be appropriate oversight once

1084
00:53:21.975 --> 00:53:23.605
everything is in place.

1085
00:53:24.465 --> 00:53:29.165
And there better be. So $7 million

1086
00:53:29.165 --> 00:53:32.685
investment of which 2.3 million is going into seed,

1087
00:53:33.005 --> 00:53:35.325
fertilizer and, and, uh, chemical.

1088
00:53:36.055 --> 00:53:39.195
So that was approved and that was in our budget.

1089
00:53:40.975 --> 00:53:44.835
Uh, executive golf courses under district manager.

1090
00:53:44.975 --> 00:53:47.795
The quarterly executive course maintenance report was

1091
00:53:47.795 --> 00:53:48.875
presented to the committee.

1092
00:53:50.175 --> 00:53:53.075
Um, you can probably pick that up online if you want.

1093
00:53:54.865 --> 00:53:58.835
Post storm review. Uh, again, pretty much

1094
00:53:58.835 --> 00:54:00.115
what Brittany's talked about in terms

1095
00:54:00.115 --> 00:54:01.395
of the debris cleaning up

1096
00:54:01.535 --> 00:54:04.675
and the right of way signs within the right of way.

1097
00:54:04.815 --> 00:54:07.115
I'm sorry. Yeah, same, same thing.

1098
00:54:08.335 --> 00:54:12.995
And let's see, under, um, supervisor comments,

1099
00:54:13.455 --> 00:54:16.315
uh, once supervisor requested a timeframe

1100
00:54:16.335 --> 00:54:19.355
for the storm water repair being completed by Sumter County

1101
00:54:20.605 --> 00:54:24.035
staff advised they would request a status update.

1102
00:54:24.335 --> 00:54:28.475
I'm not sure what that was about, but, um, that was it.

1103
00:54:29.175 --> 00:54:32.795
You adjourned 9 47. Do you have any questions?

1104
00:54:33.775 --> 00:54:34.875
Any questions for Dwayne?

1105
00:54:37.425 --> 00:54:42.275
Somehow, somehow we need to, well, I don't know.

1106
00:54:42.275 --> 00:54:44.915
You know, I online you see comments about

1107
00:54:46.065 --> 00:54:48.235
golfers on the courses when they shouldn't be

1108
00:54:48.415 --> 00:54:49.995
and likely doing damage

1109
00:54:49.995 --> 00:54:51.875
because of the way they behave out there.

1110
00:54:52.035 --> 00:54:56.795
I, I just don't know how we, how we do anything about that.

1111
00:54:57.535 --> 00:54:59.795
You mean that car, the guy was out there with the car?

1112
00:54:59.945 --> 00:55:04.195
Yeah, well just, I mean, just

1113
00:55:05.515 --> 00:55:07.995
residents presumably that are out there when they shouldn't

1114
00:55:07.995 --> 00:55:10.155
be and then when they should be not

1115
00:55:10.435 --> 00:55:11.795
behaving like they should be.

1116
00:55:16.695 --> 00:55:18.475
And I would agree. Yeah.

1117
00:55:20.255 --> 00:55:22.235
And there's a lot of expenses associated

1118
00:55:22.235 --> 00:55:24.075
with maintaining those courses for people.

1119
00:55:24.665 --> 00:55:28.195
Well part of, you know, part of the fencing is to, to

1120
00:55:29.255 --> 00:55:31.435
to significantly reduce access

1121
00:55:31.495 --> 00:55:33.915
to these courses if you're not authorized to be there.

1122
00:55:35.065 --> 00:55:37.515
Yeah. But then I break the board when I stand on the

1123
00:55:37.515 --> 00:55:38.675
fence to go get my ball.

1124
00:55:39.155 --> 00:55:43.995
Yeah. Yeah. Uh, thank you.

1125
00:55:44.605 --> 00:55:47.275
Appreciate it. Alright, well we're gonna have

1126
00:55:47.275 --> 00:55:48.315
to go to closed session.

1127
00:55:48.695 --> 00:55:49.715
So at this time

1128
00:55:50.455 --> 00:55:52.155
If you'd like, I could take us into that.

1129
00:55:52.255 --> 00:55:53.995
Um, I do have two reports, actually.

1130
00:55:54.095 --> 00:55:56.155
We can go from the first one before the closed session.

1131
00:55:56.465 --> 00:55:59.835
Okay, good. The first report is just a reminder that, uh,

1132
00:55:59.855 --> 00:56:02.595
the supervisor only training in public records ethics

1133
00:56:02.595 --> 00:56:05.075
and Sunshine Law scheduled for October 22nd.

1134
00:56:05.375 --> 00:56:07.075
That's next Tuesday at 9:00 AM

1135
00:56:07.655 --> 00:56:09.035
It will be held at Colony Cottage.

1136
00:56:09.095 --> 00:56:12.635
If any of you still need hours, you can sign up to attend

1137
00:56:12.635 --> 00:56:13.635
through the clerk's office.

1138
00:56:15.215 --> 00:56:18.595
Now, if there are no questions regarding that, um,

1139
00:56:18.655 --> 00:56:21.075
we are in the process now where we will, um,

1140
00:56:21.135 --> 00:56:22.435
the board will go into closed session

1141
00:56:22.495 --> 00:56:25.565
to discuss pending litigation strategy with regard

1142
00:56:25.565 --> 00:56:27.365
to Sumter County case number 2020

1143
00:56:28.265 --> 00:56:30.965
ca one 11 Village Community Development District number

1144
00:56:30.965 --> 00:56:32.925
eight versus Wayne and Bonnie Anderson.

1145
00:56:33.585 --> 00:56:36.245
The closed session will last approximately 30 to 45 minutes.

1146
00:56:37.025 --> 00:56:38.965
The individuals that will be present at the closed session

1147
00:56:39.065 --> 00:56:42.565
are Chairman Larry McMurray, vice Chairman Phil Walker,

1148
00:56:43.015 --> 00:56:46.605
supervisor Kevin McGovern, supervisor Ray LAIs,

1149
00:56:46.605 --> 00:56:49.725
supervisor Dwayne Johnson, assistant direct dis

1150
00:56:50.245 --> 00:56:51.325
district Manager, Brittany Wilson.

1151
00:56:51.825 --> 00:56:54.005
Uh, myself as district counsel, mark Brianna

1152
00:56:54.005 --> 00:56:55.525
and the court reporters you see will be present.

1153
00:56:56.065 --> 00:56:58.925
Uh, all others. Will you please, uh, exit the room. Now,

1154
00:57:03.865 --> 00:57:05.485
Uh, is there any more discussion

1155
00:57:05.545 --> 00:57:08.525
before we entertain a, uh, motion to adjourn,

1156
00:57:10.185 --> 00:57:11.185
Mr. Chairman? Yes.

1157
00:57:11.185 --> 00:57:15.045
I, uh, reached to Brittany.

1158
00:57:16.025 --> 00:57:18.605
Uh, we have elections coming up

1159
00:57:18.785 --> 00:57:20.925
and we talked a little bit earlier.

1160
00:57:21.745 --> 00:57:24.805
Uh, what's the process, um,

1161
00:57:26.465 --> 00:57:30.645
and what's the date that we need to elect new,

1162
00:57:30.825 --> 00:57:33.565
uh, position

1163
00:57:34.745 --> 00:57:36.565
Representatives Coming up?

1164
00:57:36.805 --> 00:57:39.285
You, you an appointment? Appointment? Yeah. Yeah.

1165
00:57:40.865 --> 00:57:43.005
Yes. So the way the statute reads is

1166
00:57:43.005 --> 00:57:46.365
that you take the oath of office, I think it is

1167
00:57:47.265 --> 00:57:50.245
the second Tuesday after election day.

1168
00:57:50.825 --> 00:57:55.085
So what that means is that you can't do it in November.

1169
00:57:55.625 --> 00:57:57.685
You would need to do it after your November meeting,

1170
00:57:57.865 --> 00:57:59.205
the way that your meeting falls.

1171
00:58:00.065 --> 00:58:03.805
Um, if you elect not to meet in December, it's no issue

1172
00:58:03.805 --> 00:58:07.045
to put, put that on the January agenda

1173
00:58:08.185 --> 00:58:09.405
for any new officers.

1174
00:58:09.405 --> 00:58:11.525
Whether you're, you know, running on opposed

1175
00:58:11.825 --> 00:58:12.925
or if it's an, you know.

1176
00:58:17.595 --> 00:58:21.605
Okay. So Talk about chair, vice chair project wide

1177
00:58:23.525 --> 00:58:24.525
Y. Yes. So we would

1178
00:58:24.525 --> 00:58:26.685
put that on your, we would put

1179
00:58:26.685 --> 00:58:29.365
that on the same agenda that the oath of office was taken

1180
00:58:30.065 --> 00:58:31.165
for all board members.

1181
00:58:33.485 --> 00:58:35.925
Then leading to the next one, as I mentioned,

1182
00:58:36.065 --> 00:58:40.325
and it's not relevant in the close, is there any conflict

1183
00:58:40.325 --> 00:58:43.485
of interest if an individual was elected

1184
00:58:44.315 --> 00:58:47.125
that uh, uh, uh,

1185
00:58:48.585 --> 00:58:49.585
So yes. I mean, I think

1186
00:58:49.585 --> 00:58:50.725
the answer to that is yes,

1187
00:58:50.725 --> 00:58:53.165
there's gonna be some conflict of interest, um,

1188
00:58:53.165 --> 00:58:55.485
when it comes to certain things in front of the board,

1189
00:58:56.215 --> 00:58:58.605
especially when it has anything to do with the litigation.

1190
00:58:58.905 --> 00:59:02.725
Mm-hmm. Um, anything that has to do with changing of rules

1191
00:59:02.835 --> 00:59:05.645
that may benefit, um, that individual.

1192
00:59:06.305 --> 00:59:10.245
Um, so we will need to, if that happens, we will need

1193
00:59:10.245 --> 00:59:13.365
to address it, um, as it comes along.

1194
00:59:14.065 --> 00:59:16.725
Um, I don't think it'll go over very well.

1195
00:59:17.305 --> 00:59:20.405
We likely will need to get, um, attorney general opinions

1196
00:59:20.425 --> 00:59:22.885
and things like that to satisfy, um,

1197
00:59:23.465 --> 00:59:24.645
the individual if that happens.

1198
00:59:25.025 --> 00:59:28.005
So, um, yeah, there is that potential.

1199
00:59:33.425 --> 00:59:35.965
Um, just kind of a poll,

1200
00:59:38.545 --> 00:59:41.245
the elections and how the board looks

1201
00:59:42.385 --> 00:59:45.845
at individuals and what position they would hold.

1202
00:59:47.505 --> 00:59:51.885
I'd like to have some input, some thoughts, um,

1203
00:59:54.285 --> 00:59:58.045
possibly, you know, with Larry serving one more term

1204
00:59:59.285 --> 01:00:02.545
or one of us you

1205
01:00:03.255 --> 01:00:06.385
that are interested in the position, the

1206
01:00:07.335 --> 01:00:11.785
responsible people, Elaine and PA Ray

1207
01:00:12.165 --> 01:00:15.545
and investments are physicians that are important.

1208
01:00:16.925 --> 01:00:21.025
And, uh, if Elaine would like to be president,

1209
01:00:21.965 --> 01:00:24.675
uh, going with Pvac,

1210
01:00:25.255 --> 01:00:27.475
PWA would be added a responsibility

1211
01:00:28.105 --> 01:00:32.935
that you would maybe look at and still continue to do so.

1212
01:00:33.435 --> 01:00:37.775
Any thoughts? I'd like to open it up and have some thoughts

1213
01:00:37.835 --> 01:00:39.295
and go from there.

1214
01:00:39.555 --> 01:00:40.575
You may want to talk about it

1215
01:00:40.575 --> 01:00:41.575
Now. Yeah.

1216
01:00:41.575 --> 01:00:45.335
Not, not gonna take a vote. No. Yeah.

1217
01:00:46.265 --> 01:00:50.655
Input. I mean, if you're willing to serve, mention that, uh,

1218
01:00:52.035 --> 01:00:55.255
so that, uh, we've got an idea going into,

1219
01:00:56.475 --> 01:00:59.695
and if not, say no, I'm not interested.

1220
01:01:00.325 --> 01:01:02.895
Well, first of all, Larry is the, you know,

1221
01:01:03.245 --> 01:01:04.255
he's, he's the chair.

1222
01:01:04.255 --> 01:01:05.495
You're the vice chair. Correct.

1223
01:01:06.075 --> 01:01:08.975
So, um, traditionally at least we don't have

1224
01:01:08.975 --> 01:01:10.655
to call a tradition, but traditionally,

1225
01:01:11.675 --> 01:01:14.895
if there's a change in the chair, it's usually given

1226
01:01:15.235 --> 01:01:20.175
or the, the vice chair has a lot of influence on

1227
01:01:21.115 --> 01:01:22.655
taking over the chair.

1228
01:01:22.685 --> 01:01:23.685
Correct.

1229
01:01:24.445 --> 01:01:28.575
Yeah. But if Larry is willing

1230
01:01:28.575 --> 01:01:29.695
to have another chair

1231
01:01:30.635 --> 01:01:33.815
and not shake things up amongst everyone

1232
01:01:34.935 --> 01:01:38.035
and is that acceptable

1233
01:01:38.175 --> 01:01:41.075
or that first Larry's gonna have to voice his own opinion.

1234
01:01:41.335 --> 01:01:42.595
I'm not talking for,

1235
01:01:44.975 --> 01:01:46.195
Um, anyway, yeah.

1236
01:01:46.965 --> 01:01:48.355
Being one of the newer members.

1237
01:01:48.935 --> 01:01:51.315
Um, I would think, you know,

1238
01:01:51.375 --> 01:01:55.475
and again, it's up to, to Larry, I we're used

1239
01:01:55.495 --> 01:01:58.675
to the fleet up where you would take the position

1240
01:01:58.985 --> 01:02:00.515
because you've been sitting there

1241
01:02:00.575 --> 01:02:04.715
and then appoint a new person to take your seat

1242
01:02:05.295 --> 01:02:09.005
to get that fleet up that way and mm-hmm.

1243
01:02:09.015 --> 01:02:10.435
And I would be in favor of that.

1244
01:02:10.775 --> 01:02:14.435
Now, I asked me on November the sixth,

1245
01:02:14.435 --> 01:02:16.675
they may have some more input, uh,

1246
01:02:16.935 --> 01:02:20.365
but you know, if, if sitting here today as a member,

1247
01:02:20.565 --> 01:02:22.685
I would, I would think your experience

1248
01:02:23.025 --> 01:02:26.125
and if Larry were, you know, open to that, that's

1249
01:02:26.125 --> 01:02:29.045
what he wants to do to, to move your position up.

1250
01:02:29.425 --> 01:02:31.405
Uh, only because you sit there in the position

1251
01:02:31.465 --> 01:02:33.045
and put a new understand person down.

1252
01:02:33.195 --> 01:02:34.195
Yeah.

1253
01:02:34.545 --> 01:02:38.085
But, uh, just trying

1254
01:02:38.105 --> 01:02:41.285
to anticipate the relief.

1255
01:02:43.435 --> 01:02:45.045
Well, I think it Was a new

1256
01:02:45.045 --> 01:02:46.045
Person coming in. It gives,

1257
01:02:46.045 --> 01:02:49.485
it gives you and Larry some thought processes.

1258
01:02:49.705 --> 01:02:51.525
And I personally

1259
01:02:52.715 --> 01:02:56.645
serving on PAI thoroughly enjoy that

1260
01:02:56.745 --> 01:03:00.965
and I hope I am doing an adequate job for the rest of you.

1261
01:03:01.355 --> 01:03:05.045
Yeah. I'd like to continue that if I may. Yeah.

1262
01:03:05.545 --> 01:03:06.885
And, and I'll second that.

1263
01:03:07.165 --> 01:03:08.765
I try and intend all that I can.

1264
01:03:08.885 --> 01:03:11.125
I couldn't this week 'cause I can't see that.

1265
01:03:11.615 --> 01:03:13.845
Other than that I'm always in attendance

1266
01:03:14.545 --> 01:03:18.205
and, uh, it helps me to be the alternate

1267
01:03:18.665 --> 01:03:21.565
and be able to fill in when, uh,

1268
01:03:21.565 --> 01:03:23.085
supervisor Johnson's not here.

1269
01:03:23.245 --> 01:03:24.645
I can't think of a better, uh,

1270
01:03:24.645 --> 01:03:28.045
person on the higher investment side than, than Ray.

1271
01:03:28.275 --> 01:03:30.645
Yeah. It's been doing an outstanding job. Yeah, yeah.

1272
01:03:32.285 --> 01:03:35.205
I understand. I just need to invest my money the same way.

1273
01:03:35.315 --> 01:03:39.005
Yeah, yeah. And I agree. And I, and I look at that.

1274
01:03:39.305 --> 01:03:42.965
Um, so that's, that's my input. Well,

1275
01:03:42.965 --> 01:03:44.645
I think the Keith, Larry,

1276
01:03:45.245 --> 01:03:46.165
I mean, you're gonna have to make the

1277
01:03:46.285 --> 01:03:47.365
decision between the two of them.

1278
01:03:47.405 --> 01:03:49.165
I mean Yeah. Then if you move up

1279
01:03:49.585 --> 01:03:51.525
and then we'll have to figure out

1280
01:03:51.625 --> 01:03:54.165
who would be the vice chairman after that. Mm-hmm.

1281
01:03:54.395 --> 01:03:56.885
With, um, uh,

1282
01:03:58.985 --> 01:04:03.845
max not maybe not being here in November,

1283
01:04:04.985 --> 01:04:07.285
who is all here or not here.

1284
01:04:07.725 --> 01:04:09.165
I will not be here in November.

1285
01:04:10.505 --> 01:04:11.525
So we're down to

1286
01:04:11.625 --> 01:04:13.445
You'll not be four months. I'll not be,

1287
01:04:13.995 --> 01:04:14.995
Yeah, yeah. And

1288
01:04:14.995 --> 01:04:17.405
I don't, I was talking to Brittany.

1289
01:04:17.585 --> 01:04:20.525
My, no matter what happens, I'll still be here.

1290
01:04:21.085 --> 01:04:24.205
I think that change happens in January, you said? No,

1291
01:04:24.505 --> 01:04:26.325
Uh, well, you'll be here in November.

1292
01:04:26.675 --> 01:04:28.845
Correct. If you meet in December,

1293
01:04:29.265 --> 01:04:30.965
any change would happen in December.

1294
01:04:31.235 --> 01:04:32.525
Okay. If you elect to cancel

1295
01:04:32.625 --> 01:04:34.165
the meeting, it would be January. Yeah.

1296
01:04:34.305 --> 01:04:36.285
So, so it'd be the four of us, I guess.

1297
01:04:36.755 --> 01:04:40.005
Okay. And then December I will not be here.

1298
01:04:40.965 --> 01:04:43.605
I Okay. That brings, I don't want to belabor,

1299
01:04:44.145 --> 01:04:45.525
but that brings the question

1300
01:04:45.525 --> 01:04:49.765
because if, if there's a change in, in his

1301
01:04:50.435 --> 01:04:54.165
seat, it isn't he done immediately

1302
01:04:55.945 --> 01:04:58.725
as of the end of that day of the election,

1303
01:04:58.865 --> 01:05:00.685
the new person has to be sworn in.

1304
01:05:01.215 --> 01:05:04.085
Right. Which can't happen in November.

1305
01:05:04.785 --> 01:05:08.085
So, yeah. Well, let me just give you my experience.

1306
01:05:08.445 --> 01:05:09.925
I was defeated the first time

1307
01:05:10.745 --> 01:05:14.605
and the next day I had no district of,

1308
01:05:15.565 --> 01:05:17.565
I had no access to anything.

1309
01:05:17.995 --> 01:05:21.925
They told me I was done that the next day.

1310
01:05:22.715 --> 01:05:25.805
Okay. Ouch.

1311
01:05:28.145 --> 01:05:29.845
I'm a little bit worried because I have,

1312
01:05:29.875 --> 01:05:31.765
I've been having trouble with District G already,

1313
01:05:35.705 --> 01:05:38.965
So I will tell you we did receive clarification on that

1314
01:05:39.525 --> 01:05:41.405
probably two election cycles ago.

1315
01:05:41.465 --> 01:05:44.365
Oh, okay. That the ti the timing

1316
01:05:44.585 --> 01:05:48.525
and the way the statute reads with, you know, sort of

1317
01:05:48.525 --> 01:05:50.765
how the, the president doesn't take the oath of office

1318
01:05:50.905 --> 01:05:52.245
and transition until January.

1319
01:05:52.575 --> 01:05:56.485
Right. That's the, it's sort of this, it's a timing issue

1320
01:05:56.505 --> 01:05:58.605
for how soon you can take an oath

1321
01:05:58.605 --> 01:06:00.165
of office following the election

1322
01:06:00.425 --> 01:06:02.005
and when your meeting is. Yeah.

1323
01:06:02.915 --> 01:06:05.085
Okay. So you're stuck with me for at least in

1324
01:06:05.085 --> 01:06:06.805
that moment, clarification.

1325
01:06:06.865 --> 01:06:11.225
In November max will still be

1326
01:06:11.575 --> 01:06:12.865
sitting on the board.

1327
01:06:12.935 --> 01:06:13.935
Currently

1328
01:06:14.905 --> 01:06:18.385
I am going to triple check the, the date of your meeting

1329
01:06:18.605 --> 01:06:20.905
and the date that, how the statute reads,

1330
01:06:20.965 --> 01:06:24.145
and we will directly communicate with anyone

1331
01:06:24.255 --> 01:06:27.145
that it has a contested fee and,

1332
01:06:27.145 --> 01:06:28.945
and let them know what to expect.

1333
01:06:29.015 --> 01:06:32.025
Yeah. I can tell you with certainty the,

1334
01:06:32.045 --> 01:06:35.665
the lower number districts don't meet that criteria.

1335
01:06:35.695 --> 01:06:37.225
They meet too early in the month.

1336
01:06:38.245 --> 01:06:40.025
I'm going to double check yours.

1337
01:06:40.165 --> 01:06:43.625
We meet the 15 number significance to us

1338
01:06:43.645 --> 01:06:45.065
and probably some up board.

1339
01:06:45.065 --> 01:06:49.905
Yeah. Okay.

1340
01:06:50.015 --> 01:06:53.065
Okay. We're the 15th in November. Right.

1341
01:06:53.525 --> 01:06:55.905
And the elect, it's 10 days after the election.

1342
01:06:56.245 --> 01:06:57.665
So, and, and,

1343
01:06:57.765 --> 01:07:00.945
and traditionally if there's no urgent business in December,

1344
01:07:01.085 --> 01:07:02.625
we don't meet in December.

1345
01:07:02.895 --> 01:07:05.665
Exactly. Yeah.

1346
01:07:06.605 --> 01:07:08.505
If there's no urgent business in December,

1347
01:07:09.765 --> 01:07:10.905
we, we don't meet in

1348
01:07:11.465 --> 01:07:12.465
December. That's correct.

1349
01:07:12.465 --> 01:07:13.505
I mean, if, if we,

1350
01:07:13.605 --> 01:07:16.025
we don't anticipate you having any new business.

1351
01:07:16.415 --> 01:07:17.415
Alright. I,

1352
01:07:19.405 --> 01:07:20.545
It wouldn't happen until January.

1353
01:07:21.565 --> 01:07:25.905
Be swearing in. Thank you for your thoughts.

1354
01:07:26.005 --> 01:07:30.185
And mud. The water? Somewhat, but uh, that's good.

1355
01:07:30.655 --> 01:07:33.785
Yeah, that's good Mr. Chairman. Alright.

1356
01:07:33.965 --> 01:07:35.745
Uh, if there's no further discussion,

1357
01:07:35.935 --> 01:07:37.025
I'll entertain a motion.

1358
01:07:37.725 --> 01:07:42.425
So moved. Second. Motion to adjourn. We have a motion.

1359
01:07:42.705 --> 01:07:45.145
A second. All in favor? Aye. Aye.

1360
01:07:47.535 --> 01:07:48.545
Meeting's adjourned.
