“no it's it's completely the wild wild what which you'll be happy to know that the we had a voter safety task force that was created unfortunately in light of terrible tragedies and um that with the support of natalie and my my entire commission we now have it as a reinstated permanent actual board that's going to be following through on all the recommendations that were made and making sure that they are on top with the lens of just looking at safety on the waterways so hopefully that will help bridge the gap on some of these issues but we are on it so thank you for bringing it forward and…”

“Thank you. Before we go to our future items, I do want to quickly mention that we did have to postpone the septic to sewer project update.

So that will be on the December meeting. we did have members of the audience bring up a few topics and i would love to ask for a moment for our derm director lauren to please come up and maybe touch on um some things that were mentioned as it relates to the the new umbrella as to where derm is under and also I know we had the…”

“All right, so noted. I also actually we might want to invite FWC at a future meeting. I know they came a couple years ago to speak and maybe that would be interesting to hear from them. We can have both from the science side, the marine biology side to discuss some of these issues and then also maybe on the enforcement side. That could be interesting. Maybe you can reach out. Yes.”

“Yeah, thank you. I think that would be very informative, again, to give us an update, especially in light of last session's amendment to the bill that now allows code enforcement to also tag and have that authority, that it'd be interesting to see how that's working. Yes.”

“yes actually i'm glad you brought stormwater up actually requested an item to be placed at this upcoming commission agenda to discuss our stormwater plan but i think we do need to have an update um at this board because now i know there's also been a change to the departments and the um right now stormwater is under public works And so we really need to get an updated update on where we're at with that. I mean, look, I know everybody has been experiencing king tides lately, and that's a whole other conversation we could be having. But I think it's very important that we have all of those…”

“Yeah, that would be great when they come to present. You can give your perspective on that and be a part of that. I would love to talk one-on-one. It would have to be a sunshine. So that becomes a different...”

“No, no, no. No? So public works, storm water, WASDE is waste water. Right. So it's, it's, it's, so you'd have to bring two different departments, which we can do.”

“I think that. I think we can close out the year really diving into, no pun intended, the infrastructure discussion. And that's going to be very, I think, prudent. And also have FWC here, I think would be great to kind of tackle this before we go into the new year.”

“Thank you for that, because actually there is a program for the private harmonization portion, for the private adaptation portion, that we do have a loan program specifically for septic to sewer. And so maybe you want to recirculate that information so that she can definitely make sure her district is aware, but all of us can disseminate that information and remind people. because while we're working on the public infrastructure side she's correct they have to then tie in and there's no incentive to do so especially if it's costly and so that's why we came up with that so she's yeah i think…”

“Okay I would have to ask the county attorney also what that would actually mean because I you can make listen this board can make any recommendation it wants but I want to also manage expectations because I don't know that the not all of these things come in front of the board of county commissioners to begin with and secondarily I'm sure it would have to amend like many different codes in order for that to even be a possibility and I don't know where the will would be of that board but Maybe I can get some clarity.”

“Yeah, actually that's a great point. Um, any one of us in our own capacities or in the capacity of wearing the hat of being, you know, um, whatever profession or organization you're involved with can absolutely come and speak on any item during public hearing and also email and, and influence the process. The truth is that, um, okay, so I don't know if anybody else wants to speak on this particular item.”

“I don't think that's what he was saying. He was saying we can we can consider all sorts of different things. It's just the type of action that we can take and the type of discussion that we can have. He just needs to research a little bit more because it might put some members who are currently, listen, I hear you. Philosophically, I'm there. It's a question of the reality of how that would work, what that looks like, and what we can and cannot do within the legal framework that we're given. That's what they're saying, because we are an advisory board that has to deal with kind of the we look…”
