THANK YOU MISS CUSACK. SHE AND I TALKED ABOUT THE ISSUE. AND I THINK WE HAVE TO POINT OUT A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT MAKE THIS DIFFERENT. PECULIAR IN A SENSE THAT IT IS UNIQUE IT IS THE ONLY CRA WE HAVE WHICH FIT THE GUIDELINES OF SLUM AND BLIGHT. IT REAL I HAVE THE ONLY ONE THAT INCLUDED UNINCORPORATED AREA. AND I AM NOT SURE IF WE WOULD EVER DO ONE LIKE -- LIKE THAT AGAIN. IT HAPPENED. SO WE EACH HAVE A SHARE OF THIS. 60, 40 IS WHAT JOYCE SAID. WE COULD, IT IS UNFORTUNATE, THIS IS ONE BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMY THERE IS NO MONEY OR NOT SUF TO PROBABLY REALLY ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING. I THINK THERE ARE ISSUES ABOUT THE ONGOING ISSUES WITH THE RESOURCE CENTER. I WOULD SUGGEST, IF WOULD YOU LIKE, IS I THINK IF THE COUNCIL FOCUSES ON THIS AS A UNIQUE SITUATION, THIS IS NOT TO OPEN THE DOOR TO EVERY CRA, CAMPAIGN MONEY OR WHATEVER. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE WHERE WE HAVE INCORPORATED TERRITORY. I THINK BECAUSE IT IS UNIQUE AND THE ONE THAT FIT THAT SLUM AND BLIGHT GUIDELINE, WE COULD LOOK AT HAVING A DISCUSSION BETWEEN COUNTY STAFF AND CITY STAFF, JUST ON WHAT THE VISION IS, WHAT IDEAS ARE OUT THERE. WHAT THOUGHTS ARE OUT THERE. AND THEN MAYBE AT SOME LATER TIME WE COULD BRING SOMETHING FORWARD WHERE WE WOULD HAVE A DISCUSSION BETWEEN US AND THE CITY. BECAUSE I DO BELIEVE THAT ALSO WOULD MAKES US UNIQUE IS IF THERE IS ANY SOLUTION. THIS WOULD NOT BE A SOLUTION UNDER THE CRA LANGUAGE. IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS VERY PARTICULAR TO THIS, SO WE DON'T BLEED OFF. PEOPLE THINK WE HAVE SOME NEW PROGRAM. WE DON'T. IF YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE REALITIES OF THIS UNIQUE CRA, WE COULD THEN TALK TO THE CITY. AS LONG AS THE CITY WOULD STICK WITH US, AND AS LONG AS THE CITY WOULD BE A PARTNER IN RELATIONSHIP TO WHAT PERCENTAGE IS IN THE CITY, THEN MAYBE WE COULD COME UP WITH DIFFERENT STRATEGIES AND WE COULD LOOK AT WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD BELIEVES IT NEEDS AND WHAT IT WANTS TOGETHER WITH WHAT THE CITY IS WILLING HOW THEY ARE WILLING TO DEAL WITH IT. WE WOULD COME UP WITH A MENU OF IDEAS. WE COULD TALK TO THE COUNCIL. THEY COULD TALK TO THE CITY. WE COULD DECIDE WHETHER WE WANT TO MEET. IT WON'T WORK UNDER THE CRA LEGISLATION WE HAVE TODAY. WE DON'T WANT TO CREATE SOMETHING WITH OTHER CRAS. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN, DO WE AT LEAST CONSIDER ANY OTHER ALTERNATIVES BECAUSE THIS AREA REALLY IS REALLY DOES HAVE ISSUES. AND SO -- HERE IS THE POINT. WE ARE NOT ALONE. THIS IS DEFINITELY THE CITY ALSO. MAYBE BETWEEN THE TWO OF US IF THAT HELPS I THINK THAT IS A JUMPING OFF POINT.
I THINK IT IS ALSO. I WILL CERTAINLY WELCOME ANY INPUT OR DOLLAR WITH THE CITY AND THE COUNTY WORKING TOGETHER, TO SEE IF IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO TO MAKE THIS BE A SUCCESSFUL VENTURE TO HELP THE LEAST OF THESE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
MR. CHAIR?
YEAH. I SIT ON THE, THAT CRA BOARD WITH JOYCE. I KNOW THAT THE A REVENUE THAT THEY HAVE HAD FROM GRANT MONEY AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS DRIED UP. AND OF COURSE, THE CRA IS NOT GENERATING ANY REVENUE AT ALL. I WONDER IF THERE IS A REASON TO KEEP IT IN EXISTENCE. IF IT IS NOT REALLY DOING ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THAT. I AM NOT SAYING I WANT TO HAVE SOMEBODY JUMP UP AND SAY WE WANT TO KEEP THAT CRA. I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION OF WHAT WE CAN DO AND TRY TO HELP THAT PARTICULAR AREA OF THE COUNTY. I UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION. AND AT ONE POINT, I WAS JOYCE WAS NOT AT THAT MEETING. CITY WAS ASKING ME TO COME BACK TO THE COUNTY. MAKE A REQUEST FOR A LARGE SUM OF MONEY. I SAID, THAT IS JUST NOT GOING TO WORK, YOU KNOW. SO WE HAVE REALLY GOT TO GET CREATIVE ON THIS. SO I WILL BE AVAILABLE TO HELP OUT IN ANYWAY. OKAY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.
IF I CAN GET SORT OF A NOD FROM THE COUNCIL. THAT IS A DIRECTION THEY WANT ME TO GO IN. WHICH IS TO GET CITY STAFF TO MEET WITH THE COUNTY. TRY TO GET SOME FEEL FOR A VISION. I DON'T NEED A MOTION OR ANYTHING. IF EVERYONE FEELS WE SHOULD TRY THAT I CAN ALWAYS COME BACK AND REPORT BACK. I WILL TELL YOU I THINK THE MAIN PREMISE OF THAT IS THE CITY HAS TO BE ENGAGED AND BE AS RESPONSIBLE AS THEIR PERCENTAGE THAT IS IN THE CITY. THAT TO ME IS THE FUNDAMENTAL.
I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT TOO.
I CAN DO IT.
COOL.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE MR. CHAIR.
THANK YOU MISS CUSACK.
MR. DANIELS?
THANK YOU MR. CHAIRMAN. I WOULD LIKE TO PROCEED ON THE SEPTIC TANK ISSUE AND TO GET OURSELVES ST. JOHNS. THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT COMING UP WITH 30% OF THE COST OF INSTALLING SEPTIC TANKS IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS. AND ALL OVER THE COUNTY. AND IF WE COULD GET THAT, THEN WE WOULD HAVE THE BEGINNINGS OF DOING SOMETHING FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF SEPTIC TANKS. I PARTICULARLY WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT IN OAK HILL TO BLUE SPRINGS AND THE NORTH PENINSULA. AND PERHAPS WORK WITH THE CITY OF ORMOND BEACH AND EXTENDS TO THE CITY OF ORMOND BEACH. IT NEEDS TO HAVE THAT. IS TAX RATES WOULD BE LOWER. WATER RATES LOWER. AND THEY ARE IN A BETTER POSITION TO DO THE CODE ENFORCEMENT REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE IN THE NORTH -- HE IS PERFECT WILLING TO WORK WITH ME ON THAT. HE AND I CAN WORK TOGETHER AND WORK TOGETHER FINE. AND TO YOU KNOW KIND OF PUSH THAT THING FORWARD. BUT, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT I THINK WE COULD DO THAT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL AND PAY DIVIDENDS IN THE LONG RUN. I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO GET THAT GOING.
OKAY. WHERE DANIELS, WE DISCUSSED IN AS I THINK ALSO WITH THE ST. JOHN'S REPRESENTATIVES, THIS IS BEYOND PROJECTS. WE NEED TO DEVELOP A PROGRAM. THIS COUNTY NEEDS A PROGRAM.
INDEED.
FOR SEPTIC TANK ELIMINATION.
THE ENTIRE COUNTY BUYS INTO.
YES. THAT REALLY STRUCTURES A FUNDING FORMULA FOR STATE SUPPORT AND THAT ALLOWS LOCAL SUPPORT TO BE DEVELOPED OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. IT IS THE IDEA THAT ANY OF THE EXISTING SEPTIC FUNDING MECHANISMS WILL DO THE TRICK IS NOT REALISTIC. NOT ON THE SCALE OF WHAT WE HAVE. AND SO WHAT WE WILL BE WORKING WITH OUR CONSULTANT ON, OUR GRANT CONSULTANT IS PUTTING TOGETHER A PROPOSAL THAT PROVIDES THAT FUNDING STRUCTURE THAT WE CAN THEN SHARE WITH OUR STATE AGENCIES AND OUR LOBBYING GROUP AND START DRAWING UP REGARDLESS OF DIFFERENT AREAS. WE HAVE IDENTIFIED PRIORITY AREAS. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE EVERY SEPTIC TANK. I THINK WE NEED THE STATE COMMITMENT TO THIS KIND OF FUNDING IN ORDER TO SECURE THE LOCAL COMMITMENT.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHEN THEY WILL BE FINISHED WITH THAT OR HAVING SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN SHOW. I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW IT TO THE MAYOR'S GROUP?
I AGREE. I THINK WE WILL HAVE SOMETHING IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS OR SO. CONSULTANT HAS STARTED WORKING OFF THE INFORMATION WE HAD DEVELOPED. WE HAVE STAFF INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING IN TERMS OF IDENTIFYING THE PRIORITY AREAS AND PROJECTS THAT CAN HAPPEN. I THINK IT IS CERTAINLY DIFFICULT FOR THE COUNTY AND FOR CITIES TO BE TAKEN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IN TERMS OF FUNDING WITHOUT KNOWING THAT THERE IS A PROGRAM ON THE STATE SIDE, THAT THEY ARE LEVERAGING AGAINST.
OKAY. AND INDEED I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT ON THAT. AND ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO, WELL, PARTICULARLY WITH ORMOND BEACH, BECAUSE YOU KNOW I DO THINK THAT DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE MAYOR IS MY OH UPON THEN IN IN THE UPCOMING, HE AND I AND I GET ALONG VERY WELL.
WE HAVE THE OUTLINE OF AN AGREEMENT TO ESTABLISH A REBATE SYSTEM. AS AN INCENTIVE BASE. HOPING THAT THAT WILL HELP ENCOURAGE SOME OF THE UNITS ALONG A1A TO CONNECT INTO THAT FORCED MAIN.
OKAY WELL THANK YOU MARY ANNE. I AM DONE.
THANK YOU, SIR.
ALL RIGHT. BOOM, BOOM, BOOM. THERE WE GO. THANKING EVERYBODY FOR LISTENING TO THE WATER DISCUSSION TODAY. I APPRECIATE ALL THAT HELP. ACTUALLY IT SOUNDS LIKE WE DID ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING. I AM PLEASED WITH THAT. OTHER THAN THAT I DON'T HAVE MUCH GOING ON HERE SO YES MR. ECKERD YOU HAVE SOMETHING?
YES, SIR. I JUST WANTED TO AS A MATTER OF INFORMATION FOR COUNCIL, I HAVE THE COUNTY HAS RECEIVED ITS ESTIMATE FOR THE JUVENILE SECURE DETENTION COST FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS AND BILLS FOR JULY AND AUGUST AND IN THIS CASEY RECOMMEND TODD THE COUNTY MANAGER THAT WE NOT MAKE ANY PAYMENT FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR. STATE FISCAL YEAR WHICH BEGAN JULY 1. THE STATE HAS A PROVISION WHEREIN SOME RESPECTS YOU COULD LOOK IT THAT AS A PROCEDURAL ISSUE. THE STATE APPROPRIATIONS BILL. IMPLEMENTATION BILL, PROVIDES THAT THE STATE COULD HOLD THOSE FUNDS BACK FROM OTHER FUNDS THAT ARE OWED TO THE COUNTY. SO THOSE, IT IS NOT A QUESTION OF WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE GOING TO BE PAID, AT LEAST IN THE SHORT TERM. BUT I THINK IT PROVIDES, OUR POSITION, WE HAVE A POSITION PEND MING THE FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL AND PROVISION -- WE INDUSTRIAL A APPEAL PENDING OF THE RULE CHALLENGE. SO IT, AT THIS POINT, I THINK THERE IS SOUND LEGAL BASES TO SAY THAT WE OUGHT NOT TO REMIT BUT THE STATE IS GOING TO COLLECT IT ANYWAY. I WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE BEFORE YOU HAD YOUR SESSION WITH THE LEGISLATURE AT THE NEXT MEETING.
SO IT IS REALLY IS A PROCEDURAL ISSUE HOW TO MONEY WILL BE PAID. STATE WILL HOLD IT BACK IN DUE COURSE.
ALL RIGHT.
WHILE I HAVE YOU, COULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN TO US HOW THE APPEAL FOR THE -- VOLUSIA VOTE CASE. COUNTY'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT IS PENDING. IT IS SET FOR HEARING ON MONDAY,IBLE, IT IS SEPTEMBER 14th. IF THAT IS A MONDAY. FOR 90 MINUTES BEFORE JUDGE SANDRA UPCHURCH. AND THE IN THE CASE FILED BY THE SONS OF THE BEACHES, COUNTY HAS MOTION TO DISMISS PENDING THAT IS TO BE HEARD BEFORE JUDGE SONBRATO ON SEPTEMBER 2. ALTHOUGH THAT WAS A LATER FILED CASE, HAD IT TO DO WITH THE SCHEDULES OF THE LAWYERS AND AVAILABILITY OF THE COURT OF HEARING WILL TAKE THE COURT AND THE A HEARING TIME WE REQUESTED IN FRONT OF JUDGE UPCHURCH. AS WELL AS TRIAL DOCKETS. AND I DON'T KNOW IF JUDGE UPCHURCH HAS ANY LEAVE. THERE WAS A THREE WEEK PERIOD AFTER WHEN MR. BEAR SAID HE WAS AVAILABLE THAT THE CAN JUDGE HAD NO HEARING TIME. PARTLY AT LEAST IN PART IF NOT IN TOTAL BECAUSE OF A TRIAL DOCKET. THAT'S THE FIRST AVAILABLE HEARING TIME.
DAN, HAVE YOU GOT ACROSS MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT THAT CASE?
NO, SIR.
WHEN IS THEIR LAST DATE TO FILE ON?
WELL, THEY WOULD HAVE TO FILE, THEY SHOULD FILE 20 DAYS IN ADVANCE, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE TO, THAT'S IF THEY WANTED TO CALL IT UP ON THE SAME DATE.
I AM SURE THEY WOULD.
BUT WE HAVE NOT, THEY HAVE NOT SERVED ANY CROSS MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT.
THEIR TIME IS RUNNING OUT, ISN'T IT. IT IS GETTING KIND OF CLOSE.
YES, SIR.
OKAY.
OKAY. THANK YOU. I JUST ASK THAT BECAUSE I GOT AN E-MAIL. IT IS ALMOST LIKE A TIME DELAY ON THIS ISSUE, JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS A. GO I WAS LIKE, OKAY. I WANTED TO KNOW WHERE WE WERE. MR.DENINE.
I JUST A WANTED TO INDICATE, COUNCIL HAD BEEN VERY COOPERATIVE IN SCHEDULING THE HEARING TIME. IT IS WHEN THE COURT WAS AVAILABLE.
YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SAY SIR?
DARN. ALL RIGHT. SIR MAKE IT BRIEF.
IN THE CASE OF MR. DANIELS HAD ASKED US BEFORE, IN THE PROCESS OF LOOKING AT THOSE STRATEGIC PIECES ON THE BEACH THAT ARE LEFT THAT I BELIEVE WE HAVE TO TRY AND SEE IF WE CAN SECURE. WE REALLY DON'T HAVE MONEY SET AID SIDE FOR THIS. SO I WILL BE LOOKING AT WHICH ONES I THINK WE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD STILL TRY TO ACQUIRE. AND THEN I WILL LOOK AT A WAY TO PAY FOR. THAT I WILL BE LETTING THE COUNCIL KNOW THAT SHORTLY. THAT DOESN'T MEAN THE LONGER RUN WE WANT TO BUY SOMETHING. I AM TALKING ABOUT THE WINDOW RIGHT NOW. NUMBER 2, AS YOU HEARD ME ANNOUNCE TO THE CHAMBERS, ON AUGUST 26th, THE MANAGERS GROUP, CITY MANAGERS GROUP ARE GOING TO MEET. I HAVE GOTTEN THEM TO ALL MEET AT LUNCHTIME WITH THE CHAMBER, WHO ACTUALLY SELECTED 10 PEOPLE SORT OF AT LARGE FROM THE CHAMBER TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF MOVING AHEAD ON A SALES TAX AND AT LEAST LOOKING AT WHAT SURVEY WORK WE MIGHT WANTED TO DO FIRST. WE ARE GOING TO PUT TOGETHER A DRAFT RESOLUTION TO HAND OUT THE THE CITIES. WHAT I AM GOING SUGGEST IS ESPECIALLY IF WE GET SUPPORT FROM THE BUSINESS GROUP THAT IS THERE, MARY ANNE IS GOING HANDLE THIS FOR ME. I WILL BE OUT OF TOWN THAT DAY. WHAT WE WANTED TO DO IS LEAVE THE CITYS WITH A DRAFT RESOLUTION SO THEY CAN GET SUPPORT FROM THEIR STAYS TO MOVE FORWARD. WE WOULD PUT FORWARD THE POINT THAT WE WOULD PAY FOR HALF OF WHATEVER THE FIRST STEP SURVEY IS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IS IN LOCKSTEP. THIS WILL NEVER MAKE IF IT WE ARE NOT ALTOGETHER. I AM PLANNING ON BRINGING BACK THE RESULTS. MARY ANNE IS IN THE FIRST MEETING SEPTEMBER. I WILL BE ASKING YOU TO PASS A RESOLUTION TO SAY YOU WANT TO MOVE FORWARD.
THAT WOULD BE NOON ON THE 26th YOU SAY?
YEAH.
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE DAYTONA CHAMBER OR HAVE YOU TALKED TO OTHER CHAMBERS.
I TALKED TO NANCY AT THE DAYTONA CHAMBER. I DIDN'T CARE WHAT AREA THEY WERE AND IN BUT TO TRY TO SEE IF SHE COULD GET AT LEAST 10 BUSINESS PEOPLE IN WOULD BE INTERESTED IN COMING OVER AND REVIEWING AND UNDERSTANDING THE ISSUE. JUST TO GET A FEEL. NOT SO MUCH AN ENDORSEMENT. BUT I FELT LIKE WE GOT TO GET SOME PEOPLE THERE THAT ARE LOGICAL PEOPLE THAT ARE THOUGHTFUL PEOPLE THAT COULD SAY YOU KNOW WHAT, THIS MAKES SENSE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE RUN IT AT LEAST BY SOMEBODY. THE NEXT STEP THE WE MOVE FORWARD WE COULD LOOK AT SOLICITING MORE SUPPORT. I WANTED TO HAVE SOME BUSINESS PEOPLE THERE. TO SEE IF WE ARE GETTING ANY PUSH BACK.
JUST I AM SURE YOU HAVE THOUGHT OF IT. A WORD OF CAUTION. IT WOULD BE VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE WEST SIDE PEOPLE, WEST SIDE BUSINESS PEOPLE ATTEND. THE FORD FAMILY. THAT KIND OF THING. ALEX WOULD BE GOOD.
WE WILL TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS.
OKAY.
NOW, I AM VERY PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE TAMMY.
IF JANINE. IF WOULD YOU COME UP TO THE MICROPHONE HERE. WE HAVE JUST WON THE 2015 ANNUAL ACHIEVEMENT OF EXCELLENCE IN PROCUREMENT AWARD WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT IS ONLY BEEN IT IS ONLY GIVEN, WE ARE ONE OF ONLY 47 COUNTIES IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA THAT WAS AWARDED THIS. THE CRITERIA IS DESIGNED TO MEASURE INNOVATION OF THE PROCUREMENT PUCKS. THAT SETS US APART. I THINK IT SHOWS THE HARD WORK AND DEDICATION OF THE STAFF. I THINK WHEN YOU ARE 1 OF 47 COUNTIES IN THE WHOLE UNITED STATES THAT WON THIS AWARD, I THINK IT MEANS SOMETHING. MOST IMPORTANT THING WE DO IS MAKE SURE THAT WE PROTECT THE PUBLIC TAXPAYER. IN THIS, NOT ONLY DO WE PROTECT PUBLIC TAXPAYERS AND PUBLIC MONEY, THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS IS THAT WE ARE VERY TRANSPARENT AND VERY FAIR IN HOW WE AWARD CONTRACTS. THAT'S WHAT MATTERS. SO WE MAKE SURE THAT THE MONEY IS USED WISELY. WE MAKE SURE WE HAVE A TRANSPARENT SYSTEM WHERE ALL PEOPLE GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO BENEFIT BY BIDDING ON PUBLIC CONTRACTS. THAT'S A BIG PART OF PROCUREMENT. I COULD NOT BE MORE PLEASED BY THE STAFF TAN BEAUTY OF WHAT WE DO ON THE PROCUREMENT SIDE IS ALL THE ACCOLADES WE GET BY NOBODY COMING DOWN AND PROTESTING HOW MUCH WRONG WE HAVE DONE. IF YOU PUT YOUR EAR TO THE GROUND AND HEAR THE ISSUES THAT GO ON IN LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ONE OF THE ONES THAT COMES THROUGH PEOPLE CLAIMING THERE IS CORRUPTION. COERCION OR WHATEVER IN TERMS OF HOW CONTRACTS ARE AWARDED OR HOW WE PURCHASE PRODUCTS. FACT THAT WE DON'T HEAR THAT HERE SAYS A LOT. IT ALSO RENEWS CONFIDENCE THAT PEOPLE HAVE IN THEIR GOVERNMENT. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO SINS IS THEY MAY NOT LIKE IT BUT THEY GOT TO THINK YOU ARE HONEST. THIS I THINK IS PROOF BY AN OUTSIDE AGENCY THAT WE ARE TRYING TO BE THE BEST WE CAN AT PROCURING. CONGRATULATIONS.
I TAUGHT HER EVERYTHING SHE KNOWS TODAY.
LADIES. YOU-ALL ARE OUT OF UNIFORM.
MY APOLOGY.
MR. PATTERSON COULD YOU DO THE HONOR SIR.
HERE IS YOUR AWARD.
COME UP AND GET YOUR PENS.
YOU WERE MOTIONING AND SECONDING ALL DAY. THANK YOU LADIES. CONGRATULATIONS.
THANK YOU GUYS.
MR. CHAIR, I THINK IT IS WORTH MENTIONING THE FACT THAT THESE HAPPEN TO BE JUST HAPPENED TO BE TWO FEMALES THAT WORK IN VOLUSIA COUNTY.
YES.
TWO WOMEN.
ANYTHING ELSE MR. DINNEEN.
TWO OTHER QUICK THINGS. ONE IS TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT OUR FIRST TWO OF BUDGET HEARINGS WE WILL CALL THEM FORMAL BUDGET HEARING BUT TWO OF THE FORMAL BUDGET HEARINGS WILL BE THE FIRST ONE IN SEPTEMBER 10th AT 6:00 P.M.
AND WE ALSO HAVE SHE IS GOING PASS OUT TO YOU THIS IS AS I MENTIONED EARLIER THE REALITY WE FOUND BOUGHT THE FIRE FUND WHICH BECAUSE OF THE MINOR THERE WAS A REVISION IN THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S OFFICE ON VALUES IN THE FIRE DISTRICT. WE WILL EXPERIENCE 290,000 DOLLARS FROM WHERE WE THOUGHT WE WOULD BE. THAT IS IS A SIGNIFICANT A MONEY. THAT MEANS WE WILL HAVE TO REPRIORITIZE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE GOING TO DO. IT WON'T KILL US. THAT IS NOT A FUND WITH A LOT OF EXTRA MONEY. WE PUT IN 45-CENTS UP. THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAD TO. LAST BUT NOT LEASE. ON SEPTEMBER 10th, I PLAN ON BRINGING FORWARD MARK SWANSON AND HE HAS PUT TOGETHER A SHORT FILM ON SOME OF THE STUFF THAT HAPPENED AT THE UNITED STATES LIFE GUARD LIFE SAFING ASSOCIATION CHAMPIONSHIPS. WE CAME IN THIRD. WHICH IS THE BEST WE HAVE EVER DONE. AGAINST SOME VERY BIG COMPETITORS. WHEN YOU ARE COMPETING AGAINST LA WHAT A POPULATION OF 4, 5 MILLION PEOPLE IN THAT COUNTY VERSUS 500,000 HERE TO DO AS WELL AS WE DID, I ASKED THEM TO ALSO HE IS GOING TO COME FORWARD WITH SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT WE GOT. I RECEIVED A TON OF POSITIVE COMMENTS FROM THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY. OVER 2,000 HOTEL ROOMS. WE MADE SURE THE EVENTS WERE DONE AT 5:00. PEOPLE TENDED TO SPEND MONEY IN THE RESTAURANTS ET CETERA. WE DID VERY WELL THE THE COMPETITION. WE CAME IN FIRST PLACE, EVEN THOUGH WE CAME IN THIRD OVER ALL WE CAME IN FIRST PLACE IN A NUMBER OF EVENTS. I AM PROUD TO SAY SOME OF THE PEOPLE WE HAVE THAT WORK FOR YOU ARE CONSIDERED BY THE P UNITED STATES LIFE SAFING ASSOCIATION THE BEST THERE IS HAD THE COUNTRY. THAT WAS A REAL POSITIVE EXPERIENCE. PERSONALLY I GOT AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE IT UP CLOSE. WE ARE HOPING TO -- WE WILL GET IT IN 17. WE ARE HOPING TO CONVINCE THEM IF IT IS ON THE EAST COAST IT OUGHT TO BE HERE. I HAD MORE PEOPLE SAY TO ME, THAT THESE ARE THE THIS IS THE BALANCE WE SHOULD HAVE FOR BIKE WEEK AND EVERYTHING. NOT THROWING THEM OUT. BUT IN IS THE BALANCE WHERE WE ARE DOING OTHER THINGS THAT ARE ALL ABOUT FAMILY, ABOUT HEALTH. AND ABOUT REALLY USING THE RESOURCES THAT GOD GAVE US HERE IN TERMS OF THE BEAUTIFUL OCEAN AND THE ESPECIALLY WAY OUR BEACHES ARE CONSTRUCTED BY GOD IN TERMS OF THE SLOPE THAT WE HAVE. IT MADE COMPETITION WORK GREAT. IT WAS WELL ATTENDED. LOTS OF PEOPLE LOVED IT. HOTELS WOULD LIKE US TO GET ON IT A REGULAR BASIS. THEY COULD ADVERTISE IT SO THAT PEOPLE FOR EXAMPLE IN TO SWIMMING, WOULD MAYBE SCHEDULE THEIR TIME OF VACATION WHEN THE TRIALS ARE. THEY GET TO SAI SEE THAT ALL FOR FREE. COULD NOT HAVE WENT BETTER. WITH THAT, THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU.
BIKE WEEK A FAMILY EVENT.
WE WILL CALL THAT THE OTHER FAMILY EVENT.
MY WHOLE FAMILY RIDE AS BIKE.
MR. ECKERD DO YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER CLOSING COMMENTS. SEPTEMBER10th IS THE NEXT DATE FOR OUR NEXT COUNCIL MEETING AM I CORRECT.
YOU ARE CORRECT.
VERY WELL. IT WILL BE A FULL AGENDA DAY OR? I MEAN WE ARE DOING A NIGHTTIME. WE HAVE TO DO THE BUDGET AT NIGHT.
BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO STAY HERE FOR THE BUDGET, I AM GOING TRY AND MAKE SURE I FILL THAT DAY UP WITH WONDERFUL THINGS UP TO THE BUDGET.
HE SAYS THIS FROM THE OTHER SIDE FROM A GUY THAT HAS A HAMMER. YOU HAVE A FULL DAY.
WE WILL BREAK. I WILL TELL YOU SO YOU KNOW WE WILL TAKE A SHORT DINNER BREAK WHICH WE WILL HAVE FOR EVERYBODY HERE. WE WILL DO THAT BEFORE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:00.
SEPTEMBER 10th PUBLIC PARTICIPATION 8:30 AND WE WILL START PROMPTLY AT 9:00. VERY WELL. WE ARE ADJOURNED.
