Board of County Commissioners - Regular Meeting

Okay. Yep. What is the restricted right below it then?

So where do you put the reserves at? Where do you have that?

Could you Elaborate on the two findings?

I'll second it. So this is what I was talking about the other day when we were under the discussion of right-of-way acquisition. So everybody on this road was sent letters. And the way this works, the only votes that count is the votes that are returned. So it don't matter if 50% of the votes that are returned are in favor of this everybody on that road gets charged whether they're in favor of it or not that's what i you know so i mean i'm okay with this this is the way it's been done forever but you're putting this charge on people that haven't voted or or you know might not some of them didn

So six people, I think, turned in a ballot.

There was letters sent out to everybody.

So I had some paperwork. I just wanted to get clear on the procedure. Right, yeah.

got a motion in the second so how do we have you can proceed you can proceed tonight you can proceed tonight but commissioner ford brought up the issue i just want to make sure we're we're all in the open on this i just my only issue is you got people that did not respond that's going to automatically be charged and i don't know that that's sure that's the way it should be done because when you join right away if people don't respond you just you know

So on that light, Chairman, I'm going to take my second off. And I would like to see this table till we get more clarification on this as well. So that's the Robbins.

Motion. And I would say this is one that's been going on for a long time. This is one of the first roads that's done this program, and they're very happy with it, I'm going to tell you.

That is what's going to be on their taxes at the end of the year. Correct. When they come out in November.

Your contract... Well, no, this doesn't get...

This is the one that Mr. Wynn wrote for us, right? Correct, correct, correct. And I'll make a motion we approve it. Good deal. I'll second.

It's going to change if everybody doesn't adopt the rates. Yeah, but we won't know that until after the budget anyway by the time it goes for both boards and four legs.

Thank you. Thanks, Scott. Lonnie, I'll just say, too, I think most of the board members on the North Florida Water Utility Authority were shocked when they saw those numbers, too. And that's one reason we didn't vote on it. I wanted a chance for everybody to study it, look at it, and come up with something different than that. I wouldn't have supported that either. I'm just going to say that. Thank you, Lon. Thank you.

So while ago we were discussing utilities and stuff in Fort White, it was brought up that you and Kevin went to Tallahassee and presented a plan to put a sewer plant between Fort White and Ellisville. Was that ever discussed with the town of Fort White or brought to this meeting? I don't remember.

Lonnie, did you ever hear anything about that plan? I didn't hear about it. I mean, he was on the board. He was on council at that time, right? Yeah.

So it was never brought before, Fort White or this board?

Correct. Correct. Okay. Well, I got a call about that also. Now, I was told by the people who called me, they said, if this gets approved, which I guess it's already been approved by the Planning and Zoning Board. Well, anyway, they said if it gets approved, we're going to appeal it to the Board of County Commissioners. Now, from past discussion with Joe, It seems like we need to stay out of it until it comes to us because we want to be unbiased.

Yeah, I mean, you said you were going to the meeting.

and so again they want to win all of them i agree i wanted to be part of that because i felt like i need to be there but they're at the same time it's going to come to us at some point anyway yeah you have to let your constituents know i'm not there because i don't want exactly because it can't be because if you ever want me to make a decision but it is going to come if they do what they say you're going to do it's coming back to us anyway i've been asked to go to

So your people missed the timeline to bring it to us. Right, we did.
