   Oakley

   1:40:04Second.

   StarkeyChair

   1:40:05All in favor? Aye. Aye. Opposed? And are you up here for C thirty four? Okay.

   Eric Breitenbach

   1:40:15Morning, Commissioner Eric Breitenbach, Assistant County Administrator for Internal Circ Internal Services. C thirty-four is a budget amendment to provide fiscal year 22 funds to support one-time costs associated with the transfer of the detention center to county operations. This item is being revised to increase the funds requested by $514,799. For a new total of $1.5,073,889. This increase being requested is to support

   1:40:45the procurement of IT equipment to establish a separate and distinct jail management system per the FDLE requirements. The purchases for this item will be performed via the emergency procurement procedures in the ordinance and reported back to the board via a noted item at a future meeting. I respectfully request approval of this item as revised.

   StarkeyChair

   1:41:04Thank you. Discussion please? Yeah, I have discussion too. Go ahead, Jeff.

   MarianoVice Chair

   1:41:08All right, so Eric, we talked about uh the funding for these items. Some of them were for Penny for Pasco. Uh are they all future purchases with the jail, are they all eligible for Penny for Pasco funds?

   Eric Breitenbach

   1:41:20Not as the Penny for Pasco resolution is currently worded. It would require board action to revise the resolution for the Penny for Pasco to incorporate Uh the eligibility for the corrections department as it will be known once it transitions to the county uh to be eligible to spend penny for Pasco funds on it.

   MarianoVice Chair

   1:41:39Right. If the bullet's comfortable I'd like to see we make that modification so we can have the option to use Penny for Pasco funds rather than general fund money.

   StarkeyChair

   1:41:49Well, how do you guys feel about that?

   Fitzpatrick

   1:41:52Don't they you already use capital expenses for vehicles? I mean funding for capital expenses such as vehicles?

   Eric Breitenbach

   1:42:00So a as currently constructed, the resolution under the public safety section uh is very specific on using penny for Pasco funds for three departments: Pasco Sheriff's Office, uh Emergency Medical Services, and Fire Rescue. And so Um they would not create any new funding. To revise that resolution would only allow the eligibility for corrections department to be used should the board dec decide in the future. Today Uh it's covered under as because it's a subunit

   1:42:30to the Pasco Sheriff's Office. It is not speci was will not be no longer be part of the Pasco Sheriff's Office as of October one.

   StarkeyChair

   1:42:37So it was coming out of the sheriff's office before. So yeah, I I guess since it was coming there before, I don't know if I'm not sure if you're not going to be able to do that.

   Eric Breitenbach

   1:42:46So this budget amendment also covers vehicles. The this budget amendment is general fund general fund dollars to replace vehicles that were purchased by the sheriff using general fund dollars. However, some of the vehicles that are transferring have been purchased in the past of the penny for passage.

   StarkeyChair

   1:43:00Well I think Commissioner Mariano's suggestion is that we allow you the flexibility.

   Eric Breitenbach

   1:43:03Correct.

   Mike Carballa

   1:43:04Right.

   Fitzpatrick

   1:43:05Do we have to amend the penny for Pasco to allow use for the jail?

   Mike Carballa

   1:43:09So you would have to amend your resolution, which currently sets percentages and allocations to each each group. So as as Eric mentioned correctly, right now There's a certain percentage, I I think it's twenty percent. Ten percent goes to Pasco County Sheriff's Office, which the sheriff generally uses to purchase vehicles and other types of Smaller capital type equipment. The remaining ten percent goes to our fire rescue, so through fire and emergency management. So you would be wanting to adjust that

   1:43:39percentage you know, through through that resolution or you would have to adjust other percentages uh within the penny for Pasco. So there's no new money here, it's just it's how you're allocating it in the resolution.

   StarkeyChair

   1:43:51So in the in the future Penny, do we have the ability to Add this

   Mike Carballa

   1:43:56The langu your ballot language your ballot language allows you the flexibility for Public safety, we believe.

   StarkeyChair

   1:44:02We could just wait for the new penny.

   Eric Breitenbach

   1:44:05If I could, the resolution in the resolution for the twenty fifteen penny regarding public safety and the language for the resolution in the future twenty twenty five penny is identical. Oh As today as we stand here.

   1:44:22Can

   Unidentified speakerVoice A

   1:44:22we if you if you take it out of the public safety piece? That's consistent with your voter intent. But you have limited yourself in the resolution which Eric is suggesting that we change at some future date. If the board to allow them to to buy things that the jail was already and we can I

   StarkeyChair

   1:44:46think that makes sense.

   Fitzpatrick

   1:44:48Can we look at the budget and the financial statements what sheri the sheriff was formally applying to the jail, how much funds was he utilizing previously from the penny for the jail and continue to utilize that same percentage or amount in the future?

   Mike Carballa

   1:45:06I would uh I would I would probably back up just a little bit and just remind the board that the the sheriff's budget is general fund. That money comes from the general fund and most of the purchases and the budget and the operation of the jail is funded with general fund documents. We have budgeted for the jail. We've also budgeted these one-time expenses that Eric is bringing up. We've included that in the 23 budget. We're just kind of fast-forwarding some of these a little bit so we can effectively make the transition happen on 1 October. There's just a number of expenses that have to be paid in order for that to happen seamlessly.

   1:45:37um you know how that's funded in the future. Again, vehicles and things like that and equipment are what the is what the PSO is typically used. How much of that actually went to jail specific items? I think we may there may be some vehicles at some point that were you know that are getting retired, but I I would probably venture to say not much. much. But we can certainly look into that and bring that back. Again, these are just one time expenses. Again, and if you change your resolution, you would have to look at how your allocations are are presented there.

   Fitzpatrick

   1:46:07And is this already the Is this already the same amount already budgeted for the upcoming fiscal year?

   Eric Breitenbach

   1:46:14This budget

   Fitzpatrick

   1:46:15I'm not going

   Eric Breitenbach

   1:46:16to be less than the one time costs we've budgeted in FY twenty three. I just need to do this action now because I need the money in FY twenty two to buy them before we actually take over the JIP.

   StarkeyChair

   1:46:26So bring back to us the idea about adding Massaging the penny. Mm-hmm. Absolutely. And then let's go ahead and call the question on this one.

   Eric Breitenbach

   1:46:37We have a motion, a second

   StarkeyChair

   1:46:37party. All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Okay, that one passes. And C thirty seven. Next

   Eric Breitenbach

   1:46:44one is me also. Again, Eric Breitenbach, Assistant County Administrator, Internal Services. C thirty seven is to request the award of a contract for a countywide procurement and contract management software system. The agenda packet did not contain the agreement signed by the vendor as at the time of publication, and this item is being revised to now include the vendor signed contract agreement. I respectfully report. Mm.

   StarkeyChair

   1:47:07I'll take a motion.

   1:47:09All in favor? Aye. Aye. Opposed? All right. Thank you very much. C thirty-eight. Mm-hmm.

   Alex Parnes

   1:47:20Good morning commissioners. Madam Chair, Alex Parnes, Pasco County Surveyor. The item C thirty-eight uh is recording of a subdivision plat. Uh it's being uh requested to be pulled and revised. There's a slight discrepancy between the legal description attached to the agreements and the joinder consent documents. versus the legal descriptions attached to the hard copies. Um there's some recording information that is missing. And this is for a temporary access easement in favor of Pasco County.

   1:47:50So we request a term reprise. Move for approval as revised.

   StarkeyChair

   1:47:55Second. All in favor? Aye. Opposed? All right. You got it. Thank you. C forty seven is withdrawn. All right, then we will move on to the Rs.
