Yeah, Gina, absolutely. Thank you so much. I probably can't see me because of these pillars they built in the way of me. So but I remember when you were animal control officers with city and for the county. So I know the job is very taskful and is, is I would not want to do that job. And what you get called out on and stuff and probably assist in our even our police departments and sheriff's department on cases when it comes to animals and stuff so it's just a it's a thankless job and you've done it well for 25 years it's going to be very hard to fill your shoes on the way you had a mindset…
Got a motion and a second for item GA1 which is resolution 27 slash 25. Any discussion?
All right. So all those in favor, signify by saying aye. Aye. And note for the record that Commissioner McKenzie recused herself from this vote as this was done by the previous commission. All right. Thank you so much. And now we will go into our environmental management portion of the agenda today. We are going to have to recess this regular meeting to go into what's called a waste siting board meeting. How does that work, Brad? Does everybody have to leave?
We've done one of these before and I just wanted to make sure that we didn't have to clear house.
Do we have a motion to recess? So moved.
Got a motion and a second to recess this regular meeting. After the waste siting board meeting, we will be back in session.
All those in favor say aye. Aye. All right, so this meeting has, commission meeting has been recessed. Now we will open up our waste siting board meeting. Terry, are you coming up to the podium?
Commissioner, do you have any questions?
So if I'm not mistaken, I want you to ask that, right?
Can you tell me, did you say 500,000 cubic yards?
So to put it in perspective, if you had like the largest dump truck that you could use, which I don't think they have, it's about 25,000 loads.
Do you feel comfortable to do this? Yes.
That's right. If Terry Graham feels comfortable doing this, I'm comfortable doing this because I have no idea what she's talking about. So we are going to need a vote on this. The vote will be to adopt Resolution 2027-24, approving the Solid Waste Authority to assist Escambia County, Florida by disposing of approximately 500,000 cubic yards of C&D debris created from the hurricanes.
All right, we have a motion and a second to adopt resolution 27-24. Any further discussion?
All right, so all those in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Nay. All right, now we need a vote to adjourn the Vice Siting Board meeting. So moved. Second. And once we do that, we'll simultaneously reconvene the commission. Yes, sir. So once this vote happens, we're back in session for our regular meeting, okay? We got a motion and a second. All in favor say aye. Aye. All right. So regular commission meeting is back in session, and we are confirming that we have adopted Resolution 27-24 of the White Siding Board meeting by vote three to one. All right. We need to do that.
So we need a vote to confirm this in the regular meeting that we're in now.
Second. A motion and a second to ratify what we just discussed. To approve it. Approve. Prove and ratify. Any further discussion on that, but all in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Nay. Okay. Is that it? I'm glad I don't have to do another one. Yes, sir. Thank you, Terry, for all your hard work and explanation on that. All right. So next up, we're going to go back to what I think everybody's here for, and this is what we call our public hearings. just a note for the for y'all that are here for public hearings today I have seen a signature list and it's real top-heavy for like one specific…

I'll second. Motion and a second to vacate the right-of-way as discussed. Any further discussion? All in favor, say aye. Aye. Next up, we're entering our planning and zoning cases. I will state for the record that probably gonna me as the chairman I'm gonna hear this case all the way through and it's probably one of the longer ones that I got prior engagements that I made a long time ago and I appreciate Matt being able to make it today so I can leave and not break quorum that's what I was worried about so that's why I showed up anyway today so I'm going to be leaving after this case, which,…
