Commissioners' afternoon reports on cleanup and projects

1:29:17Okay. Commissioner Starkey, I'll come to you first.

1:29:20Good. Um can

1:29:22you tell my father

1:29:22about that?

1:29:24Yay, this is truest at Mitchell and uh at S at Sun Coast. No. Fifty-four and a little. And um this is they are putting their trees in. So um I'm very very excited that they're in the

1:29:42middle of the driveway they're they're gonna play

1:29:44they're putting them back in where they were all taken out. I will say I also stopped by the stake and shake and talked to them a couple times and they are also putting their landscape perspective. So Commissioner You can go buy your businesses and don't threaten them. I already got I was already told that.

1:30:06Um but you can let them know. They can tell you how to word it because they've told me how to

1:30:14get implants back in. So I also um spoke to the uh Land O' Lotary, that's why it was not up the Maratha groundbreaking about the trail going through Land Lakes and they're very very excited about it and um looking forward to it not one complainer compared to another area that will remain standard. And um and also that was my day I have my CEO tour, so uh but Marata looks great. That's it for me.

1:30:44Okay, thank you. Uh under my committee reports I think I got a couple of pictures as well.

1:30:51We did our cleanup at Fox Hollow on Sunday.

1:30:54Wow, we all cleaned up.

1:30:55I'm telling you. Now you guys outperformed us. We only had I think twenty-three tons, but

1:30:59I

1:30:59want to tell you there was at least there was several neighbors who weren't able to get their stuff out to the street. Kinda went out there, put on the edge of the street with them, or they put out on the street and uh grappling trucks as you see right there, put it right in, picked it up for them, and uh we had one resident who was like really amazed. He was a young young man working hard as a tile person, uh had a three-year-old daughter and he uh he was just overwhelmed with all the stuff he had in his yard from when he moved in. He was trying to like rehab it to come back out. And I'll tell you he'd move moved a whole bunch of things

1:31:29out. We went back and we had uh about one o'clock that grappling truck was gonna head out, went out there with him and uh This is this is house right there. Picking all that stuff up.

1:31:38Oh my goodness.

1:31:39He was like amazed.

1:31:45That's my uh great guy and I'll tell ya, in the rain our grappling truck guy uh just kept on working right on through the the extra crew that was out there too. They got the job done, it was supposed to end at three and they kept on going right to the end.

1:31:59You know, I I've done it a couple times now and I feel the way we got the had the best response was when all they have to do is put it in their driveway. And I don't know why we couldn't do it like that at Holiday Lakes, but I mean, tha there's no way that guy could haul that all all that stuff down. It's very hard. for for one person to haul heavy stuff. down. I mean, we picked up a Wave Runner when we were doing it a last year. So When possible. I

1:32:29think it's better if they could just put it on their street.

1:32:31Well, let me let me say this. It's it's hard to do that, especially if you can get them to go do it. It just saves so much time when they get loaded, put it right in there. It's already contained 'cause those grappling trucks can only o only take so much. The great thing, if code goes out early, and they kinda go spot the sites and go put door knockers out there and I will say we didn't do it this time. Kinda forgot that step but I think they went out there and just let people know what was going on. If we when we've done that in like Gulf Islands or whatever, that extra approach You can look and you can see the troubled homes. Like when I pulled up to that guy's house, I saw this big

1:33:02trailer with all sorts of stuff on it. Saw stuff in the front it kinda knocked nicely and said, Hey, you know, we got a cleanup going on. Can you get the stuff out to the curb or even get it down to us because he didn't have a truck there? And uh you know, f so f folks like that. And then around the he would that works. But if we get code out of earlier and frankly, I think we did country club estates and my My two assistants and I, we actually walked the whole area, dropped off the fires ourselves, put them out there, and we had a huge turnout there, too. But uh, I think. For those that can't get

1:33:32it out the grappling trucks and our guys do go out there so it's great, but I think that's a good setup and just little extra in in the wood in the woods with the in the weeds with the folks can can help that happen. But they did a phenomenal job.

1:33:45L last year when we did my neighborhood um across nineteen, not in that neighborhood, was the hoarder who let us um Katie and Jenny and I or someone I don't know not been Jenny. We went and, you know, cleaned up that oh, Kelly Funk. We went and cleaned up that lady's yard. I think it's back at it, sadly, but um not the really, really bad one that was in the street with the comb. This is a different one of my deast.

1:34:13Mm-hmm. Very good.

1:34:15But anyway that that worked out.

1:34:17I think I

1:34:17got

1:34:17a couple of pictures of La Merat up there. That might be it.

1:34:20With the mermaid?

1:34:22Um not as intense as my Chris Rokley's pictures over there. He was he was he was well positioned there. Anyway that that was an awesome uh awesome day out there and uh just just increase like the hockey rank, great amenity for our citizens to enjoy, improves quality of life. This thing is gonna be amazing for improving quality of life as well. So I think we keep our focus like that. The th stuff we're doing with the amazing growth coming in, just keep the focus on where where it should go and what the right thing is.

1:34:52So that we're Look

1:34:54how pretty that is.
