    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    Okay. Excuse me. Um is there anyone here who wishes to speak on this item?

    Unidentified speaker

    Yeah.

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    Name and address for the record, please.

    Randy Pegram

    My name is Randy Pegram. I live on [address removed], which is part of the PBAS number 3383. I have the initial agreement that was sent from Pasco County. uh to all of the property owners and the assessment that was made. We received a letter saying that the assessment is going to be applied. However, that would be breach of this contract. I have the initial

    letter and it says specifically The assessment is built only after the project is complete. The project is not complete. And I think the representative from the county would vouch for me on that.

    It specifically says there will be a maintenance performed for existing drainage infrastructure. It had not been done.

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    Well I I think it's com that's coming.

    Randy Pegram

    Um that doesn't you can't apply the assessment until the work is complete.

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    Did you attend the public meeting on this project so that you learned how this how the

    Randy Pegram

    When this project was initiated it was uh a sad experience to begin with. With during the pandemic And Uh at that time the government was shutting everything down saying do not meet, do not congregate.

    And so i it was a lack there in um m as far as I consider it. Most people wanted to stay home and it was an invitation to do a Zoom meeting. Which didn't work. Then you could call in. The phones didn't work properly. It was a an abomination. But it got approved. There were thirty-one boats. Our thirty one thirty one boat. fifty

    eight percent of that thirty-one voted yes, and so it was approved. Are you

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    saying

    Randy Pegram

    your

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    are you saying your road is not paved?

    Randy Pegram

    Uh if do you want me to read this to you? What it says is the road would be Pave. I even have the contract. Okay.

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    What road is the road that we're speaking of?

    Randy Pegram

    That's a golden meadow And Hamilton Lane.

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    So Ainsley, has Golden Meadow been paved? Maybe I misunderstood.

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    So Commissioner Yeah Golden Medals, there are a number of roads there. The road he's speaking to, in particular, is Hamilton Lane. What needs to be done is the maintenance of the existing swale structure. In terms of repaving the reconstruction of the base and sub-base, that is all completed. It's just the maintenance of the existing um Uh drain structure.

    Unidentified speakerVoice B

    Well by the time. Do you have do you have a proposal? Do you have scheduled for for maintenance?

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    We met on site with Mr. Pegram last week and um our roadway engineers here. He uh put in a work request and that will be done um as soon as it's scheduled.

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    Um well are you done asking your legal questions? Okay. Commissioner Weightman. What was the

    Mike Moore

    result of the boat the votes, Ainsley? Well usually you have that up there. Well this is just this is just

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    going on the text rules. Yeah, but

    Mike Moore

    you've already got it.

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    I'm just curious what the

    Mike Moore

    I'm just curious what the results were.

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    I wonder if you have that with you.

    Mike Moore

    Yeah. Did all that. Yeah. Yeah, I know it's I know it's already been approved. I was just curious what the votes were. Because he mentioned it.

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    So um

    So your road's been paved, but your drainage system needs some attention. Is that what I'm

    Randy Pegram

    talking about?

    Do you give me just a minute? At the beginning of this project, when it was approved, I was in touch with the county and I expressed my concerns, all of my concerns about what how things are supposed to proceed. I made it clear. You're supposed to do the drainage first, make sure everything's draining properly, then you do the road. It wasn't done that way. Instead First of all, they mobilized and made a mess of things. This was APS. contractors. They motherwise

    made a mess. They were there for about three weeks marred up their heavy equipment up into the yards. Then they pulled out because it was rained so And something like that. Then they had to re-mobilize. when all this time over a period of about a year It could have been an easy situation to have the county come in and do the swells and correct culverts. But they did That's where

    the problem comes in. So now they do the paving. The paving It's a decent job. They did a good job on it. I did look at the density tests, and density tests show that there's three locations that are deficient. But it was passed. The problem is those three locations is where water stands. When water goes up under there are three ways for water to go, evaporation, runoff, and and infiltration,

    a perk, perk election. When it percolates it goes in every direction. The easiest way to go. In this particular case it's gonna wash out under these roads. So a road that we're paying That amount of money for it. It's gonna wash out in Five years or less. And now we have the same problem again.

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    Let me ask Ainsley, um why didn't why Why didn't we do the The swales before we did the paving.

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    In this case it was scheduled afterwards. Um what to bear in mind is that there is a total reconstruction. The road base here is full depth reclamation where we mix the um cement in the

    Unidentified speakerVoice C

    full depth reclamation.

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    Full depth reclamation. And then a repave. So it's just a maintenance of regrading the scoo the swales and that We have a work order in as a site.

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    All right. Okay, so it is going to be taken care of, and your road is not going to wash away because it's concrete. So

    Randy Pegram

    it's going to be disagreement, though. This contract says specifically that public works operations will perform maintenance on existing drainage infrastructure, and it also says that assessment is billed only after the project. It is complete. That's what's it.

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    So so I don't think you'll still see this bill until next. When does this get on the bill? November. November. November. So it'll be fixed before November, right, Ainsley? Yes. Okay. We'll take care of that little legal thing. Okay. All right. Thank you. Okay. Now, where's the question?

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    So, Madam Chair, I have no one else.

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    Anyone else?

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    I have no one else signed up and no one's on webinar. Thanks for the site.

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    Okay, I thought I saw some other people come in for There's other people on T ninety ninety nine and uh just

    not yell. Someone wanna

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    motion to approve.
