    Aye. Aye. Okay. And now we'll go to the regular agenda starting with R forty-three.

    Mr.

    Tax Collector

    Tax Collector.

    Good morning. I was never referred to before by a letter and a number.

    Jack MarianoChair

    Yes, sir.

    Tax Collector

    Mr. Chairman, Commissioner, thank you for allowing me to come and do this briefly.

    One of the things that the uh county commission can do, and it's been done in many counties, to uh Tell the tax collector not to uh send a tax notice out to Uh anyone having a tax bill of less than thirty dollars. Uh I'd last ask you to adopt a resolution that. The tax collector here in Pasco does not need to send the tax notice out to anyone with less than $10. The cost of what it's costing us now is approximately

    $14,000 to send these taxes out, tax notices out. Um most of them are mineral rights notices. And if you know anything about mineral rights, they're the most ridiculous things that was ever created by the state of Florida. Um and They don't get paid, first of all. Then we have to send reminder notices then we have to advertise them. Um and the only one that can buy the certificate if they wanted to is the people that own the property on top of those mineral rights. Um

    I'm asking you to to adopt a resolution if you would please consider that. Uh we'd like to have it done to where we do not send the tax notices out in 2024. But if you can adopt that resolution before the tax notices go out this year, I can put in t a notice in those tax notices letting them know the people know that have a tax notice of less than ten dollars that this is the last tax notice they will be getting.

    Kathryn Starkey

    I would approve that. I'll

    Ron OakleyVice Chair

    second that.

    Mr. Chairman M the resolution hasn't been drafted yet. So I have one here. No, I'm just kidding.

    Yes. If that's the if that's the board's inclination, we can put that back on the August eighth agenda on consent and and have you adopt the resolution.

    Jack MarianoChair

    I think it's unanimous on the board to to move forward with it, so happy to do it. Thank you for bringing it forward.

    Tax Collector

    God bless you. And and if I may, I want to thank uh County Administrator, his staff, and uh wonderful people dealing with all of you have been great. Uh um or constitutional officers. I've never seen a united county as I I as anywhere else in the state of Florida. I hear from other tax collectors in the state about how they're having difficulty with their county commission or their county administrator or their other constitutions. Doesn't happen here. And that's what makes me so proud of living here. So God bless you all. Thank you, Mariano.

    Jack MarianoChair

    Thank you, sir. Appreciate it.
