“So I do totally agree with this area. And being in some of that business and prior facilities, that is a little steep, honestly. But I do know that we do have- $40 a ticket?”

“And I apologize for the interruption. No, but you're right. The going rate now for if you use a couple of facilities that are here that I know of are about $750. But these are more. And Havana Lake, the 912. Well, that's what I'm saying. Minimum 750 or more. But at the same time, these are what these people do for a living. This is a business for them. This is not necessarily a business for us. This is facilities that belong to our entire county, all of our citizens. So we shouldn't be competitive. with those people who do it for a living, we should make it as accessible as we can, but also…”

“And as well as the buildings, the facilities that they may have that people use for events, you looked at those rates?”

“And again, the reason why I'm asking is, as I've already stated, I'm concerned that this is not a moneymaker. We do want our buildings to be used. But these buildings belong to us and the citizens and everybody that are here. So I'm not trying to charge these astronomical amounts for these facilities. Because I think right now we were charging, if memory serves me, and I could be wrong, what were we charging for the Senior Simon Scott Building?”

“I'm just still stuck on the, I know somebody said 750. Somebody said it should be more than that. I'm still an advocate for about $400 and $200. But I know. I see your reaction. But I just wanted to make sure that it's accessible for our citizens. Because again, this is not a business for us. But thank you.”

“I appreciate it. Lastly, commissioners, we are still going on about a year with interim county administrator as well as an interim county attorney. And the reason why I asked for HR to stay is because, and I understand they had to go and do some things as it relates to the vote that we just made, which is fine. But I do, I don't want to keep talking about, I'm making comments as it relates to we need to move at least with the advertising piece of it. I think that it was a lesson learned for me that I would rather wait until whoever's incoming. But the process does need to start. We've already…”

“Mr. Chairman, I don't want you to hit the gavel, because I do have one more thing I need to do. You want to say something real quick? That would be great if you allow. Yes? All right. Real quick, because Commissioner Wood, you reminded me that I probably should do it in this format. I would like to make a motion that we have a workshop on hiring the permanent attorney and manager with HR. That's my motion.”

“We need to have a workshop on the process. Are we going to do this soon? I want to make sure. So I just want to put it in the form of a motion. OK.”

“Mr. Chairman, if you will. Yes, sir. Because like each department or whatever cuts are being made or considered, I think we need a little bit more information. I want to be clear of what you said as it relates to the administration budget. You said one has been cut and the duties have been combined and another one with two. And all of this, you're saying what we're seeing, but you're not giving details. If something has been cut, what has been cut? Who has been cut? Who don't think so you can So, I mean I want I'm asking like what what's been cut because I Will try to wait but I still want…”

“Again, we can write them down, but even as we're going through. Can he write the questions? Oh, sure. Write your answers down. It's almost like this prison session is very generic. I mean, it's pretty, it's nice, but it's generic. It's not given detailed information. But thank you.”

“Okay. And I guess I'm asking because she stated that there has been a cut. So I'm asking, what has been cut? Proposed? You didn't say proposed. You said it had been cut. So I'm asking, what has been cut? Because I'm not aware. I'll come back to that. I'll come back to that.”

“Going back to the original questions, because again, this was very... generic, not detailed at all. Information is definitely in this big panther that I thought we were gonna actually go through, opposed to a synoptis of this budget. And so at the beginning, I heard 65% cutting of personnel.”
Board of County Commissioners · Aug 31, 2026

“Sorry, 65% of the budget is personnel that there were sent recommendations. I guess I'm trying to figure out who is this team that's making the recommendation. That's the first question. Who's making these recommendations?”

“Okay. And my original question was, when we first started this conversation, we were saying that, and I heard it very clearly, because I heard proposed cuts in most of the conversation that you stated, but originally you said a cut has already been made. And my original question was, what cut has been made? Special projects director. Okay. And that cut was made when? Today. Okay. All right. And so my concern becomes under... from proposed to actuality or reality, how we go from proposed to actually making these changes that has impacted or affected somebody's livelihood for 16 years that have…”

“On that budget, if you don't mind. Yes, on point. That $83,000, that shouldn't have been all from general revenue for public office department. It's all from general revenue. Because I thought that part of that money came from another tourist development.”
