Mr. Chairperson and Mr. Clerk, before we opened the bids, there was one company, Guardian, I believe, who sent in a proposal, but did not attend the mandatory bid conference. They also emailed the proposal, which I did not
open. Um, and then I notified them of the requirements. So my question is do you want to wave that particular bid or do you wish to accept it outside of the requirement to attend the mandatory
pre-bid conference? I mean we have a mandatory pre-bid conference [Music] to show the business if they were to show up. It's not a sealed bid if you email it. Great. And also you do have another
issue is you know you I mean I understand you not anything out of the way for sure but I'm just it's just not not the way it's as not even up there. So we wouldn't open that particular bid.
I'm just a vote on that. Okay. So a motion to not accept to not accept this. I move second motion and a second to not accept the bid for this guardian amen.
Guardian all. All right. First one is from Columbia EMS from Lake City, Florida. Total upsum price of 1,900,000. 1,900,000 for Columbia EMS Lake City,
Florida. This one is approve EMS. Who's that? Pro Jacksonville, Florida. Total lumpsum price is 2,329,914. $2,329,914 a marro of Florida.
Let's see. three or two two million and then survival flight EMS [Music] [Music] [Music]
Total lump sum prize for survival flight EMS is 1,ion50,000. 1,ion50,000. Where are they from? That's
this one. Let's see. I got a couple things. I'm not sure where that comes from. Batesville, Arkansas. Batesville, Arkansas. [Music] The proposed state committee would be
myself, Dan Castle, fire chief, and Marcia Dur. And then you have four. I guess you have I have in the past and I'm willing to serve if you'd like. So that's
much knowledge as you can get around it. I was saying I would suggest that we stay with what is recommended by the county administrator the three people. All right. So then y'all will meet and bring
us on to public request. Item 14, the board to consider approval of CPTA grant from Forest Capital Park as well chamber TVC update agenda by Donna Perez.
Good evening credits chamber of commerce and tourism development. Um I reached out to commerce to find out if there was any funding for us to make some very necessary improvements to Forest Catholic Park and what they
recommended. They said there are funds that are coming forward down the road, um, different grants, but in order for us to easily get approved for a grant for funding to improve the park, we need to have a plan. So, they recommended that we apply for the community planning
technical assistance grant. Um, so I went ahead and submitted an application on behalf of the chamber and we will facilitate that entire process. But um about the time that the other grant funds come available, this plan will be
done and we'll have a readym made packet to hand over to whomever. Engineering drawings, um everything we need permitting taken care of and it'll all be paid for with this grant. No, no cost to the county whatsoever. So, I wanted to make sure it was okay. I
already submitted it um because the deadline was on the 1st, but I did want to at least let you know what I was doing. Um make sure you guys are okay with it. And that was the one for the electrical improvements and what lighting.
Yes, electrical, plumbing, lighting. We we've done like a fiveyear plan. I'd like to I mean I figured we might as well put a wish list. I know at one time you even suggested we have bathrooms out there outside. So, I put that on the wish list, too. It may not happen in my lifetime, but at least it's in the plan
and we can um get everything we need out there to make it a really good event center. I think it's a very good plan. Thank you. Is the lighting going to cover the whole perimeter of the out front or part of it? Um, yes. And also it's my wish list is
to fence off part of the park too for safety of event you know attendees because we're starting to get quite a few attendees at these events and it's really hard you know to keep them safe. So um you know like I said it's a wish list. We may not accomplish everything
that's on the the grant request but we're going to have it in a nice document ready to go for when we get funding in the future to do this. and uh included um the um agricultural center too. So, Mr. Chairperson, it just Don, I didn't
have a chance to speak with you about this, but later on the agenda, Melody has um submitted an agenda request for a RIFF grant and that would have some electrical upgrades, but I think we could all work together to see, you know, what the immediate needs are and
then five years down the road. Is that okay, that's perfect. Okay, the electrical is the big priority because our festivals are getting so big that we're not able to accommodate these big, you know, we have the largest barbecue competition in the state of Florida and
one of the longest running. So, we have we're like the most popular barbecue event in the entire state in the region really. So, we need to be able to keep up with as we grow be able to accommodate these these people. So, um
anyways, yes, that would that would be great. I just wanted to clarify that we would work together with the refrain application in Dom's plan. Okay. Have a motion to approve. Second motion by Commissioner Fle by Commissioner Moody. All in favor?
Can you bring back the blue? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I've had a lot of people ask about that. I really miss it, too. Um I have a couple more things I wanted to quickly discuss with you. Um just some updates, some positive
updates. Chamber has been very busy. The TDC's been very busy in the background. And um over the last year and a half, we have received to date $527,000
in grants that all help make Tyler County better. Um, $477,000 of those went directly to tourism to help bring us back after the hurricanes. We received $180,000 from Visit Florida
after Idalia to help promote our county fishing and primarily the fiddler crab and the bluegrass right after those two events and very aggressive radio, television, um, social media, you name
it. Um then the same thing they came back and approved us another grant for $160,000 after Helen. So um we used that funding for the comeback campaign
which um became quite um an aggressive marketing campaign throughout the entire region Alabama Georgia all through the state of Florida. And what I'd like to report that I'm so excited about is that
we're the only county in the region whose bed tax did not go down after these hurricanes. They went up. So, us jumping right on the bandwagon and just getting out there, making sure everybody knew that we're still here and they're
still welcome to come visit us even though things have changed a little bit. Um, I attached in the the handout I just gave you, if you'll see in comparison to 2024, our bed tax steadily stayed in increase
instead of going down. So, I felt that that was a really good thing and it made me realize that our comeback campaign was working. And last but not least, um, Visit Florida took notice to the comeback campaign and for the first time ever,
Taylor County was recognized and will be awarded um, a Flagler award at the governor's conference at the end of this month for having one of the most innovative marketing campaigns in this state. So, we're really proud of that and we'll be sure to come back after we
get back from the conference and share that with you. Just wanted to give you a little short brief update. We may not be very local, but we're definitely behind the scenes doing a lot of work to our county. We appreciate all you got to do.
Absolutely. Thanks for having me. Thank you. Thank you for having me. All right. Item 15, the board consider approval of schedule of feed and charges for services rendered agenda by Mr. Mark Rev Authority General.
How you doing guys? Mark with Big Ben Water. Um we basically never had a motel classification for our water sewer fees impact fees. Um so we're adding that to
our schedule. I don't know a copy of anything. This is what we advertise. [Music] Okay. Um, so we're adding that classification
uh for our hookup. Um, so we can fiddler basically got the building that they put together and not unit. So that adds to our schedule.
Got any questions for this? Question. A motion to approve. I like one on all the building that's taking place down there. Y'all everything's been working out good with water.
Yeah. Yeah. We're um uh trying to get some funding for improving our water system right now with this resiliency money. So, wish us luck and hopefully we can get something. Basically, we're trying to
get something. You know, we started we started it, you started today. It takes three, four years before you get anywhere on it. So trying to get it where it was something that hopefully be ahead of the curve if anything was needed um down the road. So
Pat still Yeah, we're we're there. I mean we're good but you know you got to look look into that future because just went through expansion project right? Yeah, we we tripled the basically
tripled the size of the sewer plant. Um so now we're going after the water. We're constantly pecking after new projects. You know, there's a big Yeah, we did a water meter uh project
which was a little over a million three to we can basically the girls can sit in the office and read every meter in town. So we can do an hour by hour reading of anybody's meter and um you know we're just we're plugging along
really and we're you know the we're eligible for money so just got to keep going at it and I got couple good engineers that just the road construction going on down there. Y'all are y'all running the new
headers as the whole lane or are y'all working on First Avenue? We are not. Uh the next project is going to be Riverside Drive. We're we're going to replace that uh old pipe down Riverside, but we're kind of waiting till this road project gets done
so we don't have enough another disruption in traffic flow. So everything's kind of it's basically designed, it's funded. Um, so it's just a matter of now we're kind of waiting for the time to get that main road done and we'll be
good to go. They're working on it. So it's all good. All right. Any questions? Got a motion to approve. We got a second. All in favor?
Appreciate it. Thank you, sir. And thanks for that uh working on that park money, the design and planning. That's I mean that's going to be monumental if we get that thing going. Monumental for that town
mark general business the board to discuss the emergency management and local agreement between the board of commissioners county commissioners and the sheriff of Taylor County agenda by commissioners English myself. So yeah, this is just a followup item that you
know from our budget and even from previous years that I wanted to kind of bring to the board and you know we obviously we have some entities that we've turned over to other departments to run on behalf of the
county but it seems to we seem to get confronted with you know some people use bully and some people use threat and I just use it as an ultimatum that we're given an ultimatum if you don't do this then you can have this back or this back and you know that type behavior. I mean
that just drives a wedge within the county businesses and c and and and local governments and entities that shouldn't even be shouldn't even be I mean it's it's really not fair to the board and and more so it's not fair to the citizens of this community for when
we're trying to make some decisions that we feel are for the betterment of this community that we're looked at. What if you do that and you got to get you going you going we're going to give you this back but then we all got to set back sep you know so you know for me I mean this
type behavior means at some point the board did it to themselves because they turned these entities over to the these operations over to other entities and you know I don't really want to go here I didn't really want to go here but I mean at some point when you hear this
over and over the only way I know to stop it to stop the behavior is to put it where everybody obviously thinks it belongs and that's back under the county business. So, you know, it's I think we've checked I mean, we've got a lot of
uh the we the board funds 53 something,000 here, but just there's some some grant money that that funds this. And I I just asked the board, you know, it's not to me it's nothing personal. It's just the behavior got to stop. I mean, you shouldn't have a you
shouldn't have you if we got something that drives a wedge and and causes this board to not be able to make sound decisions because you get backed in a corner because somebody's not going to do something if you don't do what they want. Then for me, again, the only way I know to stop it is put it where
everybody says it belongs. So, you know, at this at this point, I kind of recommend this board to really think long and hard and and I'd recommend this board to take this emergency management. Now, as far as the sheriff's department, the sheriff's department is going to be
in the spotlight of even in these events. They're still going to do what they do out in the, you know, with the citizens and out in the field. They're still going to do what they do. I mean, when I say emergency management, that means, you know, logistically the behind
thescenes paperwork, you know, that gets done. I mean, that's kind of what emergency management part of it is. There's a lot more to it than than just the paperwork behind the scenes, but it's I just recommend this board to think long and hard that you just stop this behavior. We just can't we can't
keep going like this. Mr. chair since you're talking about the behavior and and all and I know on for tonight's purposes that we are discussing the EMS but at some point in
time we need to also discuss the jail because if you recall the same kind of behavior occurred earlier earlier on with budget news when the sheriff put some papers in front of you and said basically that we could take them jail
also. So, um, you know, we probably need to to discuss that. Also, Commissioner, I'm not I won't disagree with you that that's been put in front of us, but I will say that I think we could all nod our
heads that it should it's not, but it should be statute that the jail is ran by the sheriff. So, I wasn't bringing the jail up because end of the day, I mean, realistically, the jail should be ran by the sheriff. they're dealing with inmates or dealing with that's what
should happen. I don't want to I but if we're going to I mean it's not statute but if we continue getting threats with it then maybe we do I'm only addressing the behavior as you just that's all I understand. So I'm uh you know so I
just I felt that may come up but I just like at this point I just discussed you know we're getting blowing crew back or you know and I just think it's a loud decision to get the emergency management and you know that's
one less ultimatum that we would have to hear so to speak I could concur. So, I'll open it up to the board. Any other discussion? Any other questions?
What kind of time when we make a decision on that? I mean, we kind of I think you got a 60day I mean, the agreement says 60 days. The agreement gives you 60 days to make the that either side, you know, to make the decision whether they want to give it
back. Same with the mowing crew. They I think that probably the same agreement. Is it maybe a 60-day Yes, sir. There's not a current agreement with the sheriff for the mowing crew, but it has been funded by the board until September 30th. So, I think that if it's funded
through September 30th, then obviously October 1st. If the sheriff does not want to continue providing those supervisors, then it would then be the board. I think the 60 days is a 60-day
notice. So if it would be 60 days from when and if the board makes that decision, right? Well, I think we've already been told to both, right? I mean, that's neither here nor there. I just, you know, this is another piece that's that's
technically just say county owned with the emergency management. So I just recommend based on what history has prevailed that we recommend we take
that here. There's no other discussion. Is it okay if we come on? So, um obviously it's your decision and the sheriff's going to go by your decision. Um he's not asked that anybody take over emergency management. We did
Hamilton emergency management through Idelia and then right behind that Holene well in between I guess was Debbie. Anyway, a lot of stuff going on. There's a lot of moving parts and and you did say I mean we we do work well especially during these emergencies. It seems like
everybody needs to come together and there's been some statements made that you know um about the jail and the sheriff has since rescended that and we I mean I apologize can't say enough but you know it is it is logical that the
sheriff handled the jail that you are dealing with inmates. We are dealing with you know a high-risisk environment there and so um but obviously emergency management is your your decision. and the sheriff would uh love to continue to run it. He appreciates the uh cooperation and the the u support that
this board has given over the last and I don't remember exactly what the date was that was given to the sheriff or that the sheriff took over. Uh but um you know there's been some rule changes and we we just hired Dr. Glover who had to
go to school actually. Um the state has a bachelor's degree requirement for your emergency management director now and it has to be an emergency management certified person and Dr. Glover has went through those classes and we've got him up to to that certification status or well not we Dr. Glover got himself up to
that certification uh standard. The sheriff would be happy to continue to run emergency management if you so fit see fit. Um again apologies for you know some of the ultimatums that were made. Um, we uh,
you're right. We got to get along. We got to try to get along. And And listen, the sheriff loves this county. He loves the people in this county. Uh, during the storms, you know, I he went out and bought
a bombader to help people pull docks out of the swamp himself. Not with county money, but his money. Um, we help people retrieve docks. off into the mountain with the airboat to get their belongings. It is a very stressful time and and we are in the middle of
hurricane season right now. So, if you do decide that that's what you want to do, then you know that that's all fine. Um, we might would ask that you wait until the end of hurricane season to move forward. But, uh, again, it's ultimately the board's decision. Well, you got you understand you got to
understand where and I'm not saying even just it's something that has to be done, but I just got to understand where I'm coming from. I hear it so much at some point my mind don't operate that way to work off ultimatum over and over at some point I'm going to
act on it let's just put it where it belongs that way I like to hear no more so you know for me I'm not being great the job y'all did I heard y'all did a great I mean y'all do nothing but good during these events y'all do a great job it's just when we get to these points
I understand now I I will say now we never once mentioned emergency management as an ultimatum I I understand it. But whenever I get one and I know I got another one over here and I got another one over here that could be thrown in my face at any time, then I may as well be just be done with
it. So, like I said, it's ultimately your decision. Um, obviously, we're going to abide by whatever decision you make. The sheriff would like to continue to run emergency management if you so see fit and um we'll we'll I mean continue to do a good job at it uh if if
if that's the way it goes. Just just wanted to point that out. So if the county decides to take emergency management back, so will you all still
provide assistance and resources to us to this county when we have another disaster? Oh, absolutely, man. this the the sheriff is statutoily required. I mean, he is the highest law enforcement official in this county. So, we're statutoily required
to do that. I mean, it's not, again, that has nothing to do with what the board's decision is. That's taking care of the citizens of this county. So, your resources, all resources would be available to the citizens of this county. All the resources we currently have are available to the citizens and that's
where they would remain. Thank you. It's I'm sorry. No, no, you go ahead. You're good. You know, I'm just saying I'm just talking now. But for me, it's just I wanted to bring this up because I just want the behavior to stop if we don't
change it. I mean it so be if we don't change it but I mean if it's at some point if we don't change it and those accus those you know u ultimatives keep coming up then I just I make a motion myself at some point that we're going to change it.
Yeah. I just wanted to put in front everybody and uh like I said any more discussion from the board or I'm not necessarily asking for a motion if someone you know has their own opinion and they
want to make a motion to make a change that's fine but that's put out there in front of this board and understand what we're all dealing with. I just recommend Mr. Chairman, we are in the middle of hurricane season.
Respect conversation and understand why we have those, but also have been firsthand on the scene with response in our emergency time. So it would be my preference not to in the midst of the season to start moving things around. I
think we can continue to address the issues as they come forward. I hope we do not have any more storms or emergencies. Uh, but I think we're too in a position that we can go forward. That's what I like to see.
I tell you what, I'm I was surprised about throwing men acting the way they act. It bothered me. You know, you get and you work for somebody, you work with somebody, they get up and walk out. That's
you leave you leave something hanging. We don't need to leave anything hanging. I'm not I don't know whether I'll say take the management back, take ser emergency management back or what, but I don't know one thing that do need to stop. And if it
there have to be some promises because it did it happened more than once. It happened twice. I don't know what you know some people can do it and you might not feel a threatened but you feel
so threatened some be left undone. You don't want to do that. the highest low highest law enforcement in the county. And I love brother Patrick because he do a good job. Besides that, you know, that
outburst he got, he he he's a he's a go-getter, you know, I had talked to him for that. But we need to be able to get there are some people out there dissatisfied. I can tell you that whether you know it or not. and they'll say that you all need
to do something. So, this is a discussion. We can discuss it. We can have some more talk about it. So, if we're going to change it and we would need to entertain a motion tonight
to change it, I'd like to say that we we did run emergency management previous to this year and I think that we did a really good job doing that. Um, and I think if
we're ever going to change, now would be the proper time to change. And you've heard Marty say that they would still assist us. Uh so there shouldn't be any changes to that, you know, cuz I'm we
all heard what he said. So I think that at this time that I would make the motion that the emergency management comes back under the county. We have a discussion. We have a motion
that the emergency management come back out of the county. We have a second. I can second that and give them time to have this seat after this season be for emergency management to come under under the county. I guess that would
happen the first time frame if that's what you wish. That's after hurricane season. [Music] Make that part of my motion after hurricane. No, that it comes by October the 1st.
I don't think there'll be any interruption in services if we change now. We've done this to give a written 60day notice emergency management back to the county by October the 1st. Is there a second to
the same? Got a second for the same. All in favor? I all right to item 17. The board to approve the helpful insurance committee
for employee health benefits agenda by Gary Donald. All right. So, the insurance committee has met. You guys are real aware that we went out for proposals for our health, dental, vision, and life insurance
for our our employees. And those bids came in and we the committee went through and looked at everything and scored everything and the committee's recommending no changes. We already had the best rates and best
coverage. Now on the medical, if you look on that 209 page there, we did identify there was a $25,000 text credit they called in there for us to use for technology advancements in in our insurance programs. We didn't need
that. So they took that out. So we actually did reduce medical by 25,000 a year. So a little bit of reduction there in the medical reflected in that in our recommendation. So the recommendation is is there to stay
um the current plans at the at the current rates for all those for all those services and the and the um anything the county pays 100% of the employee only and anything over that
county pays 80 and and the employee pays 20% and that's the way it remains the same. It's been that way. So basically everything's the same except for this little bit of savings. Plan is the same. It's just taking out that $25,000.
Mr. Chair, I'm pleased with that recommendation and I would make a motion to approve. No other discussion on that. We got a motion by Commissioner to approve. You have a second. All in favor? Thanks, sir.
Item 18, the board to further discuss certificate of public convenience and necessity for private advanced life support service. Mr. Chairperson, um at the last meeting
there was discussion regarding um two possibilities for issuance of a COPCN. There are two drafts in your packet and I also have some guidance from our liability company um regarding the um
additional transport for 911 if that's what the board wishes to do. I know there was some questions at the last meeting and I said that I would check if you want me to provide that.
No, go ahead. Okay. So, um, since and and I'm going to look at you so because I know we were discussing it at the last meeting. So, there was a question about inter facility transport versus 911
transportation. So, and there is a contractual agreement between ourselves and Century which has not submitted a proposal for the next contract period. I reached out to our liability carrier and
the recommendation is that if that if there is 911 transportation um that and that's not like mutual aid because that's that's different and I think we all understand that that it should be contractually agreed upon
between the county and the provider. Um the recommendation is that the provider have a million dollars in coverage for both auto and general liability, which is pretty standard. And that the recommendation is for malpractice or professional liability coverage if there
will be medical treatment provided to the patient while in transport. um a whole harmless independ in indomification language and contractual agreement of course and the provider to name Taylor County is additional insured
on the applicable policies. So next yes sir. So with centric not submitting a bid right for this proposal.
So that today you've got sentry and survival flight. Survi survival flight holds COPC in for enter facility transfer transfer. So not for 911 service. Understood. Right.
Yes. Sentry and survival flight. So the survival flight is not for 911 emergency transfer. Right. Correct. In our facility. Yes. These guys are looking for emergency transfers mainly for the events. I think is what I understood. Yes.
Yes. The primary is for IF or if we're at an event and somebody gets hurt and they're impaired, we can transfer them on to the hospital if need be or if the whoever the primary is that we get permission to transport or stay on.
I just want to add with knowing what century will not be in the equation in the upcoming year. I would just say that's one less IF provider we're potentially going to have, right? We know we run probably about 450ish um IFS a year. Um so personally, like I
said, knowing that we we have one that's that's leaving the county, it's not a bad idea to have a second option there just because we're going to be losing one one possible if it would it be fair. I don't want to postpone anything
anymore than we have to, but to postpone until the new award comes out. And I don't know would would the new TMS group have any I would add too that the the COP as it's
written for the COPCN, it's good for a year. And like I said, we don't know, we don't have a lot of the numbers of the need for it yet, but my suggestion would be that at the renewal, we would ask any company, whether it's Mr. Melvin's or Survival Floy, whoever is asking for
one, bring us back numbers for your renewal that shows us, you know, if you only did five transfers in a year, there's probably not a justification for us to renew. um if he's done a a substantial amount that shows that we we need this service, it would justify a
renewal a lot a lot better. That's good. That's just my two. Mr. Chair, I'm I'm okay with waiting until we decide who's going to be our provider and I don't think we have any business
putting on another ambulance service. you know, they talked about events. And if you consider the the forest festival and if you consider the Fiddler's Crab Festival, there's an ambulance in Steam Edgie and
then at the here in town, an ambulance is two, three miles away. So really I think that that what we're talking about here basically is to provide a service for one festival or one event. Okay.
Probably maybe the iron horse event because he he talked a lot about that last time. So um I I just think it would could be confusing. I think that it would um interfere with the profit and
revenue that our provider would would be looking for. So, I just don't think we have any business doing this. That's my opinion. I'll just say that, you know,
a century is obligated to provide a service, but sometimes when these services know they're going out, then their service may tend to lack a little bit, so to speak. I just
know there was a call recently that I was close to that sentry didn't come. Somebody from Manatee County showed up. Was that for an IF in the middle of church?
I'm just saying I don't want to get us in a position. I don't want to get us in a position to where we don't our citizens don't have the transfer option e or nonurgent. If we because we know
like chief said we know centric w so I just caution us limiting ourselves uh when will this bid when we when we finalize this bid I'm sorry
when we finalize this bid as soon as we can but then the contract is not up until the end of December. Okay. Any other discussion on this item? What you think we need to do is say
December to make a decision? I mean, Century's going away. So, if you let Centry go away and wait till then to offer a COPC to just I'm going just say these guys or anyone else then you know you could be and no one sent out. I'm
not saying the service is going to lack, but I mean sometimes that's just maybe maybe what happens. I don't know you, Madam House. I tell you what, does he have all the credentials? He have everything, all his
eyes and tees crossed. So, run this business in this county. Here's your question, B. Yes, I do. And I have been running calls within this county when requested to do so for the hospital and uh for some of the events that happens and we're also available
for the mutual aid for like when the major crashes on 27 when the roads are blocked was able to spin up and things of that nature. So we're again this is zero cost to the county. We're just here trying to say we're here if need be if we're just trying to cut the red tape.
And we stated we're not here to take business from anybody. We're just another ambulance service that has everything that's needed should it be needed. I don't want to say it is not my favorite
but my are fully equipped and stocked and just we just got inspected last week by the state. We got exemplary all the way down for everything. We'll do another one I wish you could take back. So every time you let it go,
you got all your eyes crossed anybody's business. We just want to be here if need be. That's it. So there's no contractual agreement with the county. Okay. Nor is there a certificate of insurance. Those are the those are the
recommendations from our liability carrier. Just and and you said you have those coverages. It's just a matter of entering into a contractual agreement and my understanding is the only request is for a COPCN for inter facility
transfer and special event coverage. Now you would be available for mutual aid obviously which is we can call you know any surrounding counting for that right Dan? So um but the request is only for
special events that he's contracted with and I think primarily that is Iron Horse right and again all we're doing is letting events do call and hire us out to put paramedics on staff to give medical aid should
somebody get sick, tired, injured and impaired out there. So we're already there. All it is is we cannot leave said property because we don't have a CP send to transport patient from A to the hospital trauma alert regular hospital whatever the case may be. And all it is
is if we do have a patient in the back of the truck and we have the main ambulance carrier of the county, whoever that may be, we have to call them and say, "Hey, we have said patient back of our truck because they're getting medical care for the injury is do you want us to transport or you want us or
can we just go ahead and leave with this patient, get them to the hospital?" All we're trying to cut that red tape. We're already there. So, we're not asking for 911 service that y'all get back to the 911 calls. Give us a holler. will send trucks your way. That's all is we're not
trying to do anything other than that. They can be um I think how they're drafted now. That's how they're drafted now. And Century did say that they didn't have an stance one way or the other, but
starting January 1st, we'll be entering into an agreement with another guys are going out, right? So, uh, help, sir. I've been doing this since about a year now, and Centry's always
had no issues in the past as well that that was here because I'm not taking a their 911 truck off the road to go to an event because I'm already there. I don't have problems. So then depending on how the board votes then we would need a contractual
agreement with this particular company and then you would name your events. I'm assuming well it could be somebody could have a party big event where they want somebody standing by. The events come and go. They're not. The only ones that
are actually planned out usually are the mud bogs and filler crab fest stuff like that's already planned out. A lot of just pop up and people call a medical crew standing by. We get a you do an addendum if you had to for
until we contract with another provider because there might be something that will run them off. Do we need a motion either way? Whether we I I would think you would consider if you wish to approve a COPCN only for
inter facility transfers or issue a COPCN for both special events and inter facility transfers or wait until
I believe that if it's amanable to Mr. Greg and the board, if you wish to to issue the COPCN for inter facility transfers, that would at least, you know, allow you to operate in Taylor County and and transport the inter
facility transfers. Correct. Yes. Because hospital sometimes we are already doing it already. And then if you wish to wait until you finalize the agreement with the new provider to make a decision on the 911
portion of it, which would be ahead of the January 1st date. I mean, we would enter into into an agreement prior to that, I would think, and it would be effective January 1st, then that's another option that you have. And then at that time, you could potentially
execute a contractual agreement with Mr. Greg if that's what you wish to do. Does that make you understand what I'm saying? I'd recommend to if for sure
then wait until the end of the year for 911. I can I can go along with that theft because he said he's already doing that. So, I don't have a problem with that so much, but I think that we should wait
before we do anything else until we have our new provider on board because we sure don't want there to be any kind of conflicts or anything like that. Miss me and Miss Penn was just talking about we want to make sure there's no
confusion on the 911 side ask somebody calls pick 911 that's not what I'm ask requesting for mine's just for leave a property if I'm hired my service is hired out to be on property for an event to transport out that's the only time I transport out in the IFT, not so I'm
actually activating the 911 system. Can you can you can we approve for the IFTS and then named events so to speak the ordinance requires for big events to have medical there and that's what a lot
of people are calling us to do is that special event. said special events comes and goes. I'm just afraid to enter into something that may interfere with the mutain
a motion at this point. You want to make a motion for I don't mind to do that. So I will make a motion to allow the IFTS only. Got a motion for if only
for this group. We have a second. When would that pay? It would be immediately. It's stretched for September. September 1st. Sep September 1st. Okay. So we have a motion on the table
for this group. Do we have a second? Second by Commissioner Newman. All in favor? [Music] Thank you, sir. Moving on to staff items. Item 19, a board to review and consider approval of Federal Aviation
Administration Improvement Program Grant Agreement 3-12-0064-33-2025 and the amount of 91,922 for the design of the shift taxi way a 160 foot that is required by FAA
by Malie Cox. Are you there? Hey. Hey there. Hey. A total cost of $96,438. We've already received the 5% match from SOP. The FA grant will be in the amount of 91,922.
And this is for the design and engineering only of that taxi way shift. And the shift of the tax weight is requirement of that. Any questions from the board? I say one thing about it. I had some
pilots complain about that redoing where they turn there, but we had a meeting and FAA pretty much said we're going to keep running that airport. We had to do that bypass. What it does, it lines a
plane up with the other runway where you can look left or the right instead of being an angle because people have missed planes coming in. A lot on news, you see them about missing a plane coming in because they're not looking to the left and right. They they got the
old way was angling into the tax way onto the runway and they were having issues with that all over the country. you see on TV, but that's the reason they're changing that because if the people pull up to the crossroads, they got to look both ways and they can look even both ways. So,
I'm fine with it. It's got to be done. You got any issues with this agreement? No, I don't because if you'll look at the letter that they sent us, they don't entertain any changes at all. You have nothing? No. No way in.
And no, you know, you either do it or you don't. The way I read their letter, it was pretty kind of like the pilots. You either do it or you don't. They they pilots don't didn't like it because you had to cross another runway with the plane. But if you got cross
anyway, you might as well be looking left and right, you know. Yeah. You come up to the stop sign, you exactly right. No other way. Well, like I said, Commissioner, usually I have some comments about a little changes or not, but I I read the
letter and no changes are pretty self-explanatory, you know, we've dealt with FAA before. Um, fact is a very good friend of mine was with FAA. He was we were in high school together and I I complained to
him about it and he said, "Connor, if you don't like it, just don't mess with us." Okay, Mr. Chair, uh we have a pilot in the in the audience. We do. It does need to be done and know you
have another attitude with the FA. It's nationwide. It's got to be done. Yeah, they might change it everywhere. They'll shut you down eventually if you don't do it. That's exactly what they told us in May. It's called a whole short line, not a stop sign. Very good.
No other discussion. A motion to approve. I motion by Mr. Demp, second by Mr. Pig. All in favor? And I I did want to I do want to quickly remind Miss Wanda, this is the grant that has to be submitted tonight by um
midnight to FA. So, it will need to be executed after the board meeting tonight and sent in. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Uh item 20, the board to consider approval for staff to move forward with the preparation of the Florida Commerce
Rural Infrastructure Fund grant application requesting funding for parking improvements at the fourth capital hall and park and electrical repairs and improvements at the park and agenda by me.
The funding cycle for the rural infrastructure program has just opened. Um it is a pretty tight turnaround. This will fall in line with what um Don talked to you earlier tonight. It's for electrical improvements and upgrades as
well as the parking improvements which we already have the design complete for one has provided me with quotes for it. So we have everything in hand that we need to enforce with this. It will be a 100% grant with no county because we're
a rural area of opportunity. We currently have two other open rate grants. One which is the Phoenix park and the other which is the installation of the new fuel park. So we've been very
successful with this grant so far. motion by commission for a second. All in favor? I'd like to in favor of this grant to understand the timing on some of this um funding and
and if board would see fit. We would like to ask the board to allow our grant strer M to look into the option of a rift planning grant which is regarding one of the subjects that we brought to
Mr. develop during our economic development discussion the issue of our um captains on the coast who do not have a place in Taylor County to offer. So I I would be favor and ask this board
support to allow for that direction to seek a planning grant for which which would be for the county that's works. So we could give that direction. It would
be helpful, I believe, in the timing and we be able to possibly seek out land grant funding for this potential fisherman's co-op. Well, that's part of that on the agenda, I guess. No, this wouldn't be a motion because it's
not on there. It just be direction to allow our staff to to look into that. Melody, when is the deadline? I'm sorry, Mr. Chairperson. When is the deadline to submit this application? September 5th and um so I plan on moving
along. Now I know planning grants are available obviously that's you know what we have for Magic Coastal Park with the planning grants. So I can check into if um a planning grant on the forming of a
a block. I do know that the end result has to be a um infrastructure a brick and mortar um which obviously you would need some type of facility down the road
for a co-op but I can check into that and see if that is allowable with that that planning grant I would need um obviously I'm not a professional um a
commercial fishing coach. So I would need um Commissioner Newman if we see it's doable. I'll bring it back next meeting and I would need um again to have some commercial fishermen that are interested in this to um contact me to
to help me provide information. I know um one of the consulting firms we work with have um was very involved at this point commercial fishing facility informing as a co-op so I can reach out to them too
but our first step would be to contact Florida commerce and make sure that that is um a doable project we can submit to so that's not a real issue that's doable Mr. Does your person have a question?
Melie, do you know the deadline for the Stan Mayfield um working waterfronts grant application and would this be another option? So we not um we cannot make this year. Um
and obviously with Cfield you have to have a very good plan. um in because it is annual reporting including um reporting very similar to economic development planning. So you
know those if you can get a rift it would be a big step towards Mayfield because right now we do not have a plan in place but that would be Mayfield that would either be if there's another
um opportunity to submit for funding or next year correct Mayfield yes we could either do next year or sometimes Stan Mayfield has a two funding cycles Actually, the last two years they they've had two funding
cycles because they have funding left over from the first funding cycle because there are so many requirements and they feel that sometimes they don't get they don't extend all their funds. So um you know it it's um it's a pretty
detailed program to many fields but it's definitely if we want to pursue a um you know county type co-op with our commercial fishing JMfield is definitely a good funding source because it it funds the
purchase of equipment and um refrigerated transport vehicles. It it's a it's a very good you if you know what you're going to do. And right now we don't know what we're what you know what we would do but it is
definitely um something we would want to pursue if we go back and I I was asking that it would require some land acquisition and you know we've got a couple funding sources we can go to
for that too. So um you know that's something the board wants to pursue for economic development. We we have ways we definitely have funding forces to do it. Got it. Okay. Thank you.
Okay. Administrator items item 21. the board to consider amending ordinance 2025-05 small county surf tax identify. This is a followup from our budget workshops. The board um had conversation
about utilizing our 1% sales tax revenue um to fund county operations and that would take a change in the ordinance. Currently, the ordinance allows for operational expenses um emergency medical sorry capital
improvements and also emergency medical services operational expenses of the county. If you wish to utilize the 1 cent sales tax for to balance the budget basically I believe that you would have to change the ordinance.
Great. Do we need to uh read that by? Well, no, because it's not a draft. This is just our current current ordinance. So, if this is something the board wishes to pursue, I believe you would
have to task the county attorney to draft another ordinance. Yeah. I think the direction that we concurred from our budget discussion, that's why we're here. So, there's no other discussion. We'll obtain a motion that you approve.
Motion motion by Commissioner Bigley. Have a second by Commissioner. All in favor? I I'm against it. All right, we'll move to item 22, the county administrator to discuss
information items. I don't have anything. Move on to comments and concerns from the public for non agenda items. For nonaggenda items. Comments and concerns for non-aggended
items. Come on, sir. You will just state your name. We may know you, but we get you. Yeah. I get my address is 169 W Street. Um going to talk about a different property today though. Um at the beach
uh our address down there is 1795 Jibson Road. We have an adjacent land owner at 1917 Jibson Road. Um I talked to a couple of y'all today already kind of know a little bit of the
rundown of what's going on. Um, so she don't know what's going on, but this barn was put on this property in 2023. Um,
we called the county at that time, told them that it was not in compliance with the setbacks, um, that it was in the county right away. Um, they told me I needed to file a complaint.
I figured a phone call was enough of a complaint. It was enough that they told the land owner that we complained on. Uh, but nobody went down there to to look at it. So, shortly thereafter, storm came through. I doubt you tore a
roof off my shop in town, messed my beach house roof up and went down there and fixed that work. I had a mess. So, I didn't get to follow back up with it. Really didn't have time to follow up with it. Well, shortly after that, Colleen comes through, wiped everything
out. Well, okay. I don't have to worry about this no more. It's gone. Well, today we get the call um while I'm down there, they go to putting the barn back up. Um tell them, you know, look, we can't do this
like it is. Well, they convinced that they can. Um, and and it's even building code 42-717 gives you the setbacks. I'm pretty sure that's going to be the right setback. And it's 30 foot off of the off of the
uh the rightway and 15T on each side is what it states in the Florida building code. I was told 10 foot. I don't know, but the Florida bill code says 15. Um anyway, uh the way they got they've been parking
in the road because you can't you can't park where the barn is. You can't turn to get into it because it's right there side road. Um Terrence McKver I called him today. He
informed me that uh they could put it back because they was grandfathered in to put it back like it was before when the hurricane hit because they're grandfathered in. Well, I don't think it holds a lot of water because if you grandfathered in and I'm grandfathered
in to build my beach house back like it was. I mean, essentially, I mean, what's the difference? You know, I haven't heard about this grandfather in yet. I don't I don't think that's necessarily accurate. Um but that's what he told me. He told me that that they was
grandfathered in. Um well then come to find out he called me back called that and he says they had lied to him. It's even a bigger building than than what it what they had put on the original
building permit. So I guess they told um and it's it's less than 4 ft off of my property line. um cuz now it's wider. I'm going to say I'm going to hear say they can't put a pole bar up, but they
have to follow the building code. Um they have to go by the setbacks. Um and I don't think there's any argument other than that. Um they have to go by those setbacks. I mean, if I go build something, I have to go by the setbacks.
He said because they had already established it and that we had to complain that they couldn't, but we we we did complain. I did call them and verbally talk to them. It's not really my job to follow up with it. I mean, they should have went down there and and
I mean, it's obvious. You can see that it's not it's not in the right spot. I mean, it's right there. Um, so that's that's where I'm at with it. I don't know what to do. You know, they're down there fixing to put it up. They may go ahead and put it up at this point. I
don't care if they put it up, but they're gonna have to take it back down. I mean, you and I spoke on this a little bit today. Can you update us maybe on that? So, I think what we need to do at this point, because I didn't hear anything about this until this afternoon,
if I could review with the county attorney section 42-51 of our land development code and just because there is a provision on nonconforming properties that are destroyed to go back in the same
footprint, but I think we need to pull the original permit and review this section. and also 42717 and make sure that we can move forward and I'll be happy to do that. Right. But I mean to go but it
regardless the footprint to start with wasn't right. So it can't go in the same footprint that it was to start with cuz it it it never wasn't in code in fines. Um it wasn't built in the right way. It was in the rightway but not to where
this building would be. Yes. This one. Yes. same further. It's further over. Yeah. They they thought a bigger a bigger pit this time, right? Which we were not aware of. Right. So, it's even further, but it still they don't have the set back on
right away. Um and I did verbally complain. I did call um but it never got to care. We got hit by hurricanes. I mean, you know, and then it got washed away, but that that still don't mean that they can put it back on the day. I'll be h we'll be happy to look at it.
Where's the project at today? Moving forward with the project or it's kind of on hold for now. So, the last I heard they were Well, I don't know. It it could have changed by this afternoon. I think they were attempting to move the holes for the
post over to where they need to be, but I will I will talk to our building official in the morning and say, you know, we may need to just hold off and let me review this with our county attorney and and have a full
understanding of what our ordinance says because there is a provision for putting back non-conforming development. So I think what we need to do is look at the original permit and go back and go back to that. Right. I I understand that. But if it wasn't never in compliance to start
with, that don't necessarily make it where it's in compliance. Was there ever a variant? If this was outside of the variance, was there ever a variance given on I don't know. I I need some a little bit of time to pull all that and see what happened with that original application
and that original permit. And I will I just sat about work going on. So before we end up everybody in the building and turn around tear it down, it may be that well I'll I'll talk to Mr. Terrence in the morning.
You going to give him to put a soft work permit on it? We'll take care of it in the morning. I'll talk to Terry. Thank you. Y'all keep me updated on it. [Music] My name's Guy Gibson, senior. Um, it
ain't like this thing's been there 10 years. This thing, they just built this thing in 2023. And we didn't know when they built it. When they built it, we wasn't there. And when we found it, we called the camera and told them they built this thing in the rideway. And so this thing ain't like it's
established and been there for a long time. And we made complaints to move this thing. And like I said, like he said, we never followed up with it because shortly after that, we started getting hit with hurricanes. So there hadn't been a pole bar there now for
over a year or almost a year, not quite a year. So I thought, well, it's gone. We ain't got to worry about that headache. Well, come to find out, they build another they're building another pole barn back. Not only is it still in the rideway, now it's less than 4 foot or less than 5 foot for my property line
cuz it's 10 ft wide. And they just think that they just got the right just to do it. If y'all had the property end of that road, y'all wouldn't let nobody build no poke barn in the middle of the road and they blocking us off from our property. I don't think nobody disappended
[Music] items. Non agenda items. Well, it was just a correction to the reading of the bids. Okay. I mean, that bid committee may want to take note of whatever this I can go ahead.
I'm Denise with Fact. Hi. Um, the uh clerk listed the FACT coverages, but he didn't read the corresponding premium cost. So, I just want to make sure it's entered into the record correctly. That's all. Okay. So, there was two two on there.
Like she said, I read the one for the coverages that I listed for them and the other one was for the um general liability and the cyber liability.
And the total annual premium for it is $138,18. That is for $138,18. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you. I'd like to take opportunity to speak and and I appreciate that. I was going to ask for
that clarification. One reason. My name is Michael Richer, board insurance respondent to the RFP as well. Uh my my one question would be is there going to be an opportunity to give oral presentation on this with the committee, Mr. Papert? You know, or is that something the board would need to decide? I just thought it'd be a good
time to put that on on the record. I would think that's something that the bid committee could could request if if that's something we need. I was not normally the procedure. I would appreciate the opportunity if it's
consideration for the committee because there's my proposal is 26 pages and there's some good information we would like to make sure that thank you if you could [Applause] even name Benius
not local resident project I want to tell you guys about it's going to be here locally so um like I said my name is Benilius I'm with Tall Timbers Land Conservancy from Leyon County, Florida. Um, and if you haven't heard of us too much, Tall Timbers was established in 1965 as a research station looking at
the use of prescribed fire as a conservation tool and um, for land management. Uh, we have an conservancy that was started in 1999 that works on voluntary conservation easements with land owners um, helping land owners protect their little piece of Florida essentially. Um there's two projects
that kind of overlap for the full 11 counties of Big Bend that I really want to share with you guys. Uh the first of those is our RCP, our regional conservation partnership program from the USDA. Have enough acronyms. Um so
that $25 million program is a 5-year program that covers the full 11 counties of Big Ben, including Taylor County. And it's a landowner assistance program. Um so that's any land owner over 10 acres is welcome to apply for that program. Um, and there's kind of two aspects of that. The first is financial assistance.
So, there's going to be a between 75 to 100% cost share for land management activities. Uh, for those that already know what they're doing and just need the financial resources to do it. Uh, and the second aspect is that land management support, I guess. So tall timber staff is going to be helping out
land land managers, land owners who are interested in doing this kind of work, whether that's prescribed burning, uh, tree planting, invasive species control, forest stand improvement, how do you name it, the whole gamut of land management activities, uh, we want to help people do, including financial
assistance, but also sort of our expertise that we have as well. So like I said, on our bond, it's $25 million over the next five years. That's for the full 11 counties, but everyone within that 11 county, including Taylor County, the residents are encouraged to apply. So, um, we're going to be doing a big
marketing push. Um, Facebook ads, newspaper, direct mailers, that kind of stuff, trying to get the word out for everybody. And so, if you ever have anyone reach out to you and ask, is this a legit thing? Yes, it is. We really want to get dollars in the hands of land owners, and we want as many people to apply as possible to try and get the
best stewardship we can out the door. The second project that overlaps same 11 county area is a partnership that we've done with the Florida Wildlife Corridor. I'm sure you've heard of the Florida Wildlife Corridor Act from 2021 that the legislature passed. So, the Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation really
works to bring people together, get people in the room, find creative conservation opportunities to make that happen. essentially as sort of their regional expert partner. Tall Timbers um is working with them to PC, the Florida Wildlife Corridor in the Big Band
region. Um they've worked a lot Peninsula Florida, but they haven't worked a ton up in North Florida. Um and so they're starting to expand up there and they've kind of tapped us as sort of the regional expert to help them work towards that mission of piecing together the the big WAS and the the state forest and all the big conservation areas we
have. How do we make those small connections to make sure that the land's all connected, that that true Florida is still there, and that the critters all have, you know, a place to call home and move through. So, um, that's where a lot of the marketing dollars are coming from. So, I have a couple materials here I can leave with you, um, that we'll be
sending out. You should see, uh, like I said, postcards in the mail. We should have flyers on Facebook and, uh, newspaper ads, radio ads, all that kind of stuff. So, um, I also my contact information here. So, I'm always happy to come back and do a little longer presentation if you guys are interested
or if any of the commissioners are interested in just talking one-on-one. Always happy to come back over here, do a phone call, whatever. All right. Well, thanks so much. Anyone else about it? All right. I keep ask the same thing as as as
John Curtis Group does as far as that you do the same tree management business just like you know John Curtis Group here does uh not familiar but for your company I I assume it's yeah similar similar
process but grant program through the USDA and I don't know if I said that but it's anyone over 10 acres so it's not just the big guys it's any land owner at all who's interested in this kind of work out. Thank you. Thank you, sir. All right. Commissioner, Mr. Tigle,
Mr. Dips. Yes, I was we had a group here the other day at workshop and North Florida Economic Development Council. Mr. Jackson did hear back from Joe Pic and it's one of those I think it might
be U a disclaimer from Georgia said they sent some information back and I haven't had a chance to really read it and get it out to everybody but when we were talking to them and Diane Schultz
the lady from the work economic development partnership by the post said so my advice to them was let's get this out to commissioners let them look at
it. Even if we don't take the money, but let's make a effort to trying to secure it. We don't have to get it. We don't have to take it if we don't think it'll work for but it would be some money in the pipeline to help us do what we need
to do if we trying to do it. Right. So, we'll try to get some information out. I think you also might have car something to Mr. Mr. and he going to look at it and see does it look legit
him being out. That's it. It move. All right. Nothing else. We'll obtain a motion to adjourn. Second motion move. All in favor? I
