gotcha. We can do this separate for the fire. We did a seven page application for this. I know nobody join. We don't we don't have to started with the county. That's what they do the same way
they were doing it. Yeah. Anyway, I guess we'll continue to search for someone for the fire pension board. Agenda item 6D, approval of the minutes for the May 13th, 2025 regular session. Might have been updated.
What's changed? Um, so basically the formatting issues. I was doing the minutes from my laptop when I was at Jacksonville Hospital. My dad and emailed them over and the formatting didn't follow suit. So some of the exits

Y anything? Yeah. Got to get the CP on the agenda. This only thing that's changed is I've added all the phases not water planning document disaster money coming up I want to make sure these brought in there the
next five years but I want to have all this money towards the end when me and Ward went to well me Andrew through our engineering firms and
colleague all went to DP last Wednesday really good meeting they had all the funding people there this was a signing you had 30 people in the room and talked about two and a half hours
probably about it USDA surf cap Florida water and east our grant consultant Florida commerce DP DP right here. It was a really good
discussion. Talk about how they're hopefully going to be able to help us. Just got to work on getting everything submitted to the right people and correctly. I think our engineers and Andy help us navigate through that. and um Mary Gavin, she's the one that set it up for
us. But it was I don't know what yall thought, but it was a lot more positive than I thought it was going to be going into it. They all seem willing to pull us in the right direction. John, could you tell me what it was you
added? I can't just the at phase one and two. This is all phase one, the immediate needs. I had phase two on there. They suggested I go ahead and add all the phases of that plan. Remember that $94 million plan? They're not I think projects
already decoded out somewhere. Not in here. I just call them phase 3 to 11. Okay. Stuck them way out to the future. It was it was really it was it was a good meeting. I I really didn't know what to expect. John asked me to go and I was like, "Okay, I'll go fine." You
know, there was a lot more people there than I thought was going to be there and they were all positive about trying to help us out and no, we can't do that. It was more like we can do that. If they couldn't, they across the room say that's something he'd be able to handle. It was okay. It was Yeah, it was. But there
ain't no money got our hands. I just But but at least it was a lot of sorry can't do it. Yeah, that was it. They at least at least offered you know at least offered they could there is that. So CBG
we get CDBG we get 928 million or so. I think half of that is going to go to shut community. The other half's going to housing I believe is what they said one guy said and then uh the
SRS through I think this is all the states but it's a corporation just for hurricane Milton and Hawaii wildfires it's 1.7 billion for wastewater projects and 1.3 billion for water projects we're
going to try to go through our new water plants whatever else some these other phases of wastewater plate. We try to get all we can. John, what was the 400 million? That was the You take that 900 something million. 400
of it went to hurricane. That' be more for counties and cities. The other half went for housing. That's right. Okay. And it's going to be divided amount 40 47 counties. 47 I think. I think it will something like that. There's 20 of them.
80% of that money has to be spending that. I thought it would be 80% of that 980 but still Yeah. Yeah. It is. Where are we on their screen?
The engineers. They're getting through the survey and all that stuff designing fees. One other question. We heard a feedback from our lobbyists.
Not here lately, but they're not even in session. He's helping us garbage trucks program with D. Can't remember what Volvo got sued of missions lawsuit or something. I don't think you
go in details. Yeah, Volkswagen Volvo. There was a pile of them that got caught up in that. There's a lot of money sitting somewhere that the state's over. I think the EV's over it. If you get an older truck off the road, they'll pay for the new truck. So, we're going to we
got to drill a what a 3 in 3in hole in the block cut the frame in half. Yeah. Never be used again off the road forever, but then you get two brand new trucks. So, he's trying to point us in that direction. So, it won't be a direct state appropriation, but it'll be through DP. They're having to rewrite the rule
to be able to use it for garbage trucks. That's what they're going through that process. Now that'll be two. What What we have 90 We have two 93 Kodiaks. One in the waste water, one in the water. Get the two garbage
trucks. Other than that, are still where they are. Yeah, it's going to be a slam. It's going to be a slam year all the way around. I mean, with the what they done with three quarters three quarters of of a percent drop in
the sales tax like 3/4 of a penny, taking it from seven or 6% statewide to five and a quarter percent, something like that. And possible property tax, which I don't think is going to happen this year, but there is talk. I think we've
all heard it. Oh, they're talking about raising sales tax. Well, they're talking about both directions. I mean, okay, the House and Senate wants to do this and the governor wants to do that and they're that's where they're going back and forth on what to do. So,
property tax would put us in a bad way. Yeah. We have a little bit of revenue. County would be done. Is that your fireplace? I don't like that idea. Hey, I got five more days and I can
retire. Anyway, I said I can't. I didn't say I was going to. John, you got anything else? Okay. Liam, do you have anything for police department? Uh
just she's been out for a little bit and things have been running pretty smoothly. Boing twice about work about personal stuff. Thank God. So busy weekend with graduation and the holiday weekend a little bit chaotic Friday night. Nothing to do with graduation or
us just agencies. So any of that on us but previous weekend. Thank you, Harley. I forgot one thing. We all pulled some numbers together for revenue
projections, what we're going to be losing that as Carly wanted to be here for that discussion. She had to make that next time. Sounds good. RB, you got anything? It's not scary looking, is
it? Okay, Daniel Sean. Uh, we inspected the new Autozone and new Zachby sewer lines. Zach got inspected today.
Everything looked good. So, I'm looking forward when Zach's opens. Yeah, that that looked good. Um the the the flows are kind of dropping that plant because it hasn't been raining that much, which is good.
Um we use we use less electricity, we use less chlorine. It's better overall. Um it's really all okay. We did do the MDA uh muscular distrophy
association at Walmart Dixie over the weekend. I think we ended up raising for a little bit over $700. Oh, good. Thank you for doing that, guys. I had we had two of our guys down
at the Walmart along with Amy's daughter and then on Saturday and and Sunday um well both places but county fire was at Dixie I was there and she was there.
Very good. We got another one set up I think. Labor Day weekend. All righty. I was at the memorial uh Mr. Charlie was there, too. The uh memorial park yesterday, the veterans memorial
park and looked good. They did a heck of a job getting it ready. So, it looked really looked really nice. It was hot. Yes, I agree with you on that. Everything really Everything looked really nice. I was just plugging that in for Gary since he's not here at this
moment. So we fuss at him when things don't look good. I wanted to say something. He was something went good. So anyway, surely you had anything Mr. friends. Just
a information on health insurance. At one time we put together that hospital actually did put together every business in the county was going to
join. You couldn't get a single one to join. just just didn't want to be first. Then we had through the Big Ben rule health network, we put together one. It had
15,000 lives and we couldn't make it work. It's tough. Yeah. I think I'm going to hold off this year making any changes. We got too many changes going on as is. But there there's got to be better off there
somewhere. I keep digging around. Okay. Did y'all find a new printing bill printing? They have been in contact. I don't know that anybody has responded yet. It's a process. So, we will be printing bills hopefully by Friday. We will be bold and
settle with ourselves. Lord, I'll be possible on the card one last time. We'll have to have to do it that way. And we've had a lot of people sign up for e bills, so that's helping. So, anybody that's
interested in e bills, you know, we can we can do it that way. And we've had a lot of people sign up for e bills. Yeah. A lot of people would rather have e bills. And it I I I got one. It's just easy. Go in and paid it and it's just click click done.
