    Good afternoon Commissioner's easy call at public works. Uh this is the agenda item for our CEDA, PW230037, PVAS number 3510. There are seven streets which are counter-maintained and paved. The total estimated cost for the project is approximately $1.34 million. Um, in terms of the maximum cost per ERU, that's $11,097.56. The discounted amount is $204,285.37.

    The maximum costs per ERU after the discount is $8,573.17. There are 123 possible votes. Um we got a response from 60 um property owners. Um 43 of those were in favor of the project and that's about 72%, and 17 were against the project, and that's 28%. Um annual installments over 10-year period, and the interest rates is at 3.25%.

    Jack MarianoVice Chair

    Yeah. Mr. Starkey?

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    Well, uh you can see our roads in pretty bad shape. We we were we had uh Mike command just before he left us and Save the road for a few more years with those squiggly things. But um Which everybody hates. Um and hey uh the cul de sac at the end is falling apart again. But um this is our second time going through and you can see how supportive everybody was, so I I hope you will uh vote in favor of this and Um

    it's not too far in the distant future that this road can get fixed. Okay.

    Jack MarianoVice Chair

    Angie, this might be your last one, huh?

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    Um in terms of this type of presentation. Well there's a there's a tax rule.

    Jack MarianoVice Chair

    Oh no, we'll have all the words. No question. All right. Um any any other questions for Anglee? All right. Public hearing. Anyone here from the public want to speak to this item?

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    I have two individuals signed up for item P one eleven. We have Thomas Archibald. And followed by Michael Cox.

    Thomas Archibald

    Thank you. Uh Thomas Archibald, [address removed]. Why the the residents of the community did vote to go ahead with the road paving project, I believe it was based on some information that may not have been accurate. at several of the board meetings in in our Aristida community prior to the vote, the community president relayed certain conversations that he had with uh Commissioner Starkey that if we went ahead with the ro the road project, we would not be under the

    old where the individual community paid the assessment, but we would be under the new where the the county Factored it into the whatever you call it. I apologize, the new program thing M T S U.

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    M S T U.

    Thomas Archibald

    Thank you. Um so I I I think Mrs. He also represented that Ms. Starkey's i advi advised us to go ahead and file the application.

    um further ahead in the pipeline of projects that would get done in the community. Um It seems to me that now we're gonna be the have the distinction of being the last community that actually gets to pay for its own road project. And it was And it was based on representations of May Nattermot Venacurate. Oh yeah.

    Thank you.

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    Okay. We don't have to go through all that again. Okay.

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    And as Commissioner Cox comes up here, I want to apologize. He did write down um and sign in for the prior item at P one hundred. I missed it. Thank you.

    Unidentified speakerVoice B

    I'm easily overlooked, let me tell you.

    Um Michael Cox uh [address removed]. Uh When When Amy and I decided to build a home we had certain requirements for that home. Number one, it it had to have a roof on it. Num number two it it had to have a um an air conditioning. It also had to have hot water. and it had to be on a paved road. Now, twenty two years later I've replaced a roof. I've

    replaced the air conditioner. And I've replaced the hot water heater. Twice. It's time now to replace the road because the road is deplorable and it just needs to be replaced. Um the the P VAS passed you Overwhelmingly. Um we have been working with the county staff for a while to find a solution to some drainage issues that we have, right? We have some pretty significant problems and we believe that the fix

    is going to be a combination of help from the county, the HOA, and um individual homeowners. And and I am the HOA president. And I will tell you that the previous gentleman His concerns um Is I'm not exactly sure what his concerns is, but I put out in writing to the community that We wanted the community sub to support it because the roads need to be paved. but we were hoping to be able

    to fall under the new MSTU if it works out that way. But the bottom line is the roads need to be paved. And for what I heard from P one hundred today, it sounds like we will be falling. under that new MSTU. And so that's my my other item is I would like to ask that, you know, our notice to proceed be issued after the MSTU goes into place. And to Commissioner Oakley's question earlier,

    comments earlier, we're okay with waiting. Yeah. Till that happens. So Um the roads need to be paved and I would ask that you support the P BAS. Appreciate it. Thank

    Corinne Weiss

    you.

    Unidentified speakerVoice B

    And it's never a good place to be between you and the the end of your agenda. Commissioner Yeah. So I apologize.

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    I don't leave Commissioner Yeah. Yeah. I just want to correct the record for something. Um we can never predict what's going to happen up here. Um but many people know it's been in the paper that we're talk we have been t in talks to change the PVAS to the MSTU. So what what we discussed um and Ainsley was there and we discussed it with the group. You know, we're hoping that we switch to the MSTU. Um and that That

    we don't know where air seed is gonna fall in from the old PVAS or to the new MSTU. And um but if we were in the old system of PVAS we wouldn't be double charged. So so um but if we So that I I can't guarantee to anybody what the future is, so I think I was misrepresented, but I just wanted to let that

    Unidentified speakerVoice B

    was clearly communicated. At Yeah. In writing at the annual meeting, it was clearly communicated. Yeah. So

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    I mean I d I'm not even sure. I still know a hundred percent where we're gonna be, but Um But uh thank you very much. Is there a motion?

    Jack MarianoVice Chair

    Uh you can make it in a moment, uh let me just idle the discussion too. We we've talked about this for a long time, uh about g doing it this way, and there's nothing That hasn't been said openly as far as the right-of-way. this may fall into what comes into the new assessment. I mean the new MSGU as well. So uh I don't don't feel anything at the mic the microphones and tapes are out there that to show what we've done even up here at the meeting. So I wouldn't worry about that part.

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    Yeah.

    Jack MarianoVice Chair

    But uh yeah, if you want to make a motion,

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    I

    Jack MarianoVice Chair

    don't think I can actually abstain.

    Seth Weightman

    Mr. Chairman Mariano, I'll support the motion. Um for for clarity, for five years. Go ahead.

    So folks who are currently In the P Voss and they're paying their own. Three point two five percent interest rate. When we set the going forward next public hearing, if we set a rate

    From my understanding, folks will be paying off their current B Vass. Amount. And they'll receive an M S T Uh. on their tax roll.

    Jack MarianoVice Chair

    It's it's gonna be

    Seth Weightman

    decided or they like for example this project passes. It's a P Voss. goes through w will the folks in this community be paying The three point two five percent and they'll will they also be being hit With the MSTU.

    Mike Carballa

    Commissioner, if I if I can weigh in on that,

    Seth Weightman

    just for clarity.

    Mike Carballa

    Yeah, for clarity's sake, the the board direction for coming back in March is to come back with a plan on how we unwind PVAS. And the intent of that is to make sure that folks aren't double charged. So how do we retire the PVAS debt and and transfer over to the MSTU? So we're still working those details out, but that is the intention.

    Mm.

    Jack MarianoVice Chair

    And and this board's gonna make that decision. This board's gonna listen to the public before we make that decision. So all the input for all the things, whether it be dirt roads, drainage, or just timing of a previous assessment, all of it's gonna get factored in. And we will as a board make the decision how we will go forward with it.

    Seth Weightman

    Okay. My my concern was just folks. Who are currently in the old system and we transition to the new way are are hit twice. Anyway, so I've moved

    Jack MarianoVice Chair

    We made the motion, we get a second. Any further discussion? All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Okay, motion passes. And that's all I have for the

    Kathryn StarkeyChair

    last one of those
