    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    Uh Commissioner Oakley is uh agenda item P that PWR 21-0092. It's the McDonald Lane PVAS project number 3447. There's one street, it's non-counter maintained, but paved. Uh, the estimated project cost is $59,085. And the maximum cost per ERU is $7,312 and 50 cents. There's no discount on this project. In terms of the um the votes, there were 10 possible votes. Um

    we had six responses, three were in favor, three were against. Um the annual installation is over a 15-year period at 3.25% interest, and that's per the ordinance. Um, 50% um we need to bring it to the board for um consideration. And I think I have a photograph. And this is the location map. and uh condition of the road.

    Jack Mariano

    Mr. Chairman Mariano. Yes. Paisley. Ooh. Yes. Where are you going?

    I'm here, I'm not leaving. Yes,

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    sir. Go ahead. Um why didn't this get a discount? Because it's non count maintained. There's no discount. That's for the ord ordinance and the uh methodologies. There's no discount.

    And it's a longer um repayment period. That's why it's fifteen years.

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    I've never seen us

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    do a P Lass

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    on a non county maintained.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Yeah.

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    So if it's counter maintained, there's a discount, a reduction.

    Jack Mariano

    Yeah.

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    But because it's non-counter maintained, there's no discount given. But there's a longer repayment period.

    Public road.

    But non-county maintained.

    Jack Mariano

    So it's it's I I don't as Commissioner Starkey just mentioned, I don't remember the last time we had a non county maintained P Lass.

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    Yes, we we have

    Jack Mariano

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    Mr.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Chairman,

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    Ron OakleyChair

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    Ron OakleyChair

    person. The person in the audience here is that's coming forward. And

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    I just want to put on the record there's no one on WebEx for this item.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Nobody on WebEx, okay.

    Carl Dornell

    My name is Carl Dornell. Uh lived here in Pasco County for the last uh Moved here in nineteen seventy eight. Oh. Hi, Jack. Uh first of all I wanna thank you. I really wanna thank y'all because We're we're we're Every time people try to find faults with you You're judged with one fault that you do right you one thing you do wrong They

    don't consider how many things you do right. You know, so I appreciate it. Uh my name is Carl Darnell and I'm and I'm eighty one years old. and I live on McDonald and I've maintained the street all of these years. and I got cancer now and it's kinda hard for me to get anything done. We have a hole in the street. This lady and and I are the only two on the street that stay there for the year round. The rest of the street is good except these two potholes.

    And and so then this guy, he comes along and he thinks it's supposed to be maintained by the county, but it's a private street. Uh one time I got a hundred dollars from somebody for doing the street. So uh I mean but it it's something to where that th the holes will be fixed in the street because I fix a lot of holes in the county streets, you know, coming into the house. I I patch potholes, been patching potholes for years. Uh

    but i it just uh there's we're the only two that live there all year round on the streets. There's only six lots on the streets. We still need your e

    Ron OakleyChair

    exact address.

    Carl Dornell

    Uh the military messed up my hearing, it's hard.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Your exact address.

    Carl Dornell

    What?

    Shirley Scholl

    Your address.

    Carl Dornell

    Oh. [address removed]. I'm all the way at the end of the street.

    Jack Mariano

    Mr. Chairman, is is the gentleman for or against the P VAS?

    Ron OakleyChair

    Well I I'm not

    Jack Mariano

    saying

    Ron OakleyChair

    he's for the commission, but

    Jack Mariano

    live there full time, that's what I was wondering.

    Carl Dornell

    Oh, I d I wanna maintain my own street.

    Jack Mariano

    Because um Okay, so you d you're not in a

    Carl Dornell

    fellow we do a better job. We d the only reason why this is this way, what you see on there now is because that I I've had the cancer and what have you and because of Of the garbage truck. He he wants to put his brakes on there.

    But this guy here you can't blame him because he just comes down, you know, he just winters here and he thought that uh the county's supposed to take care of the uh of the uh street, you know.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Right.

    Carl Dornell

    So

    Ron OakleyChair

    Okay.

    Carl Dornell

    So th I guess that's all I got to say, but thank you all.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Thank you. Okay. Yes, sir. Thank you. I started saying are you gonna speak? Name and address for the clerk.

    Shirley Scholl

    My name is Shirley Scholl and I live at [address removed]. Um

    We don't desire to have the county fix this pothole. I've come together with four of our neighbors. Uh we do have new neighbors on the corner that just recently moved in and we haven't been able to get in touch with them because they went on a vacation as soon as they moved in. We are going to have the eighteen by thirty area professionally fixed ourselves. And so we don't want our taxes to go up and it to become a public street.

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    And that's all I have to say. Wait, what does that mean to public become a public street?

    Shirley Scholl

    Well, I mean if you are to fix our street, does that make it public? Oh Ainsley says yes. Oh, but it's already public.

    Unidentified speakerVoice B

    It's

    Shirley Scholl

    already public. It's already public? When did it become public?

    Unidentified speakerVoice B

    It is what what Ainsley said to the commission is this is a type B road. It shouldn't be we we'd be having a whole different debate if this was a private street.

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    Okay. It's We don't maintain it. That's what we're

    doing.

    Ainsley, I'm sorry. No, the mic. But if the PVAS is a little bit more than a little bit of ainsley at the mic. We'll do the maintainment.

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    Ainsley, you gotta be at the mic. Oh, I'm not sure.

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    So it's currently non county maintained. If the PVAS goes through, is passed and we fix the road, it becomes county maintained after the project is done.

    Shirley Scholl

    So we are objecting to that.

    Jack Mariano

    Mr. Chairman M and I know tippling I don't know if do you know about much about this, Commissioner Oakley about the road? Yeah. Yeah. Oh okay. I just wanna I I'm just checking because It there was a three-three vote, mm-hmm, but the only two people that s are stating that they actually live full time on the street voted no. So I don't I'm trying to figure out who these other people are.

    Shirley Scholl

    Snowbirds.

    Okay. Okay, go ahead. Oh there's an Airbnb on the M.

    And then um I believe three empty lots. Which are for sale, so they won't be taking on the tax problem that we will. No,

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    y yeah they would. It goes with the lot.

    Shirley Scholl

    Right, but the people that buy their lot will take that on. We are permanent residents. So Mr.

    Christina Fitzpatrick

    Chairman Mariano

    End of the road? You and the other gentleman live at the end?

    Shirley Scholl

    Right next door to each other.

    Christina Fitzpatrick

    So the people that are voting for it don't even access this part of the road. Um

    Shirley Scholl

    the the area they're showing is in front of a house that was just recently bought. And they were unaware of this, so um Ainsley and Stephanie sent them out information. In the meantime I learned from our neighbor who petitioned for this that um they went on a two week vacation so they never received this paperwork. on what's going on.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Who petitioned?

    Shirley Scholl

    Um our snowbird Fred Frank Weber.

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    So I'm I'm typically, especially fifty fifty, typically a yes on these. Uh And I I appreciate you coming here and my fellow commissioners may feel differently. But I I do have a concern. Uh is that your husband?

    Shirley Scholl

    No.

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    Oh the other gentleman? Oh your neighbor. That's my neighbor. And he's the one fixing the potholes? Your

    Shirley Scholl

    neighbor?

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    He he

    Shirley Scholl

    has that I'm not history he had done that, but it's been neglected. And Frank was Frank the petitioner was recently here on a visit, and we've spoken and we've talked about that.

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    I don't know how you can professionally fix that without that's just your whole street's falling apart. A an asphalt company. That might Yeah, that's a pothole that pop was

    Shirley Scholl

    gonna pop out every time it rains. A big one. I do understand that, but the picture makes it a lot bigger than it is.

    Carl Dornell

    I was a gen I was general contractor for over thirty years, so I can fix that.

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    So then you you see the road has failed and it's cracked all over. So it's not just a hole, it's gonna be the whole section of road. So if I I am gonna be for the PVAS, I'll just say I put it in the right-of-way.

    Carl Dornell

    It was worse than this, okay? And I can take you all over the county and show you places that's worse than our street. I they're

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    in my

    Carl Dornell

    reason that it's the way it is is because I got the cancer, okay? And and so I've been fighting that like crazy. But uh Uh I'll make sure that uh the the pothole is fixed myself. I've always maintained it. Okay. So

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    so for me I'm sorry, but for me that's bigger than a pothole. That's that's a failure of a whole section of street. It's not it's not a potholes. Back and

    Carl Dornell

    forth. Give me thirty days, it'll be done.

    Shirley Scholl

    Mr. Chairman Mariano. Well are you are you saying that it can't be repaired by a professional company if we were to hire one?

    Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

    I think I think we are I think your three minutes are gone and

    Shirley Scholl
