What the county recorded

This item is not from the published agenda

It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

OakleyChair

Okay. Mr. Mariano?

Mariano

Yes, uh I got a couple of pictures. Matter of fact, some of them from the fire uh event as well.

Which I thought was fantastic. It was a great great family event that everybody got there and uh it was a great chance for them out to all get together and and hang out, which was was really cool.

Advent Advent Healthite, what a great group they are to to step up and fund that. Great sponsor for us. These are firefighters.

That's so

Starkey

cute. Yes, yes. Was that fire engine cake

OakleyChair

also?

Mariano

They were taking this picture when I arrived. Yes. I love that picture.

Well, big time.

Starkey

It was it was the weather was just perfect. Right?

OakleyChair

Yeah.

Starkey

Ha ha ha.

OakleyChair

Big dog on the left.

Starkey

And then look at our sidewalk. Oh, is that is that your sidewalk from before Jack?

That's cute.

Mariano

Okay. And do you have pictures for Loma Avenue?

There's a neighborhood where they've got a I think it's a one point two acre piece of property and they've got all sorts of code violations actually just for killing snakes out the other of the day, so it's gotten kinda dangerous. But it looks like they're just bringing yard waste in and I don't see any stockpiling of the facility actually do any compost or anything else but uh

Starkey

Oh that's horrible.

Where's that?

Mariano

This is up in Hudson.

So we have a land development code that says if you're going to do this type of work you have to go through a process. They're trying to hang this on as far as the Right to Farm Act. Um if this person get if this person gets away with it, it's gonna keep on going. So

Mike, I think you need to work with staff and we need to work with the attorney's office, et cetera, 'cause they're even throwing the hands up on it. But there's just no way you can allow this to happen. This will this will continue on and on and on.

Starkey

Oh that's cool.

Mariano

And again, if you're gonna go do this, wouldn't you have to go through site development?

Mike Carballa

Well I think the citizen complained about a vector nuisance with snakes and things like that as well.

Mariano

Yeah, just So again, I need I need Jeff your office and Mike's office to get together and find out what we can do about this 'cause there's just no way this is like designed for this and they haven't gone through any of the processes if they wanted to do something for farming, they haven't done any of that either.

All right. Um on another note, I just got an email from someone that told me that uh EPA has now got standards for PFAS.

Starkey

Yes, I saw that this morning.

Mariano

So I think we need to get a report on that for the next move board meeting to bring it forward to see what we can go do and uh start working on that. Especially with our FGAs, uh because I know we have a few levels down there. And I think in Tampe Water Commissioner Oakley that we need to make sure we're looking at the two that we have travel to if we have standards, we gotta figure out how we can wine. Uh lastly, I am still facing all sorts of Um Can't handle it going on. And even the gentleman

who we just Arrested?

One in court with the one that says I why lie I need a beer out there again the other day. I mean it's just absurd. You know, when we look at code enforcement officers, you want to like deal with your issues that you may have, et cetera? Uh I'm gonna tell you, we've gotta do a better job, a more intense job. When we said we're gonna bring code people on, we're gonna keep them on till dusk. to go through to go look at these panelers. And I'm gonna tell ya if our code people are out there People aren't gonna donate to these people that's gonna

chase them away. We gotta go back at this issue again. We got a great ordinance in place, copied from Lee County. They're doing great with it. But we gotta have our people out there.

Starkey

Wasn't it you that showed the sign? I mean we don't have any signs that say it's illegal. Someone showed a m- a county sign that said panhandling and whatever. You know

Well no whatever the word is.

Mariano

But you cannot transact business in the safety.

Starkey

Whatever we should have putting a sign on those

Mariano

So let's go put some signs out.

Let's go put signs out, but I still want pe bodies. In the sheriff's office they'll say they're too busy doing other things. I get that. I'm okay with that. This is not a big high crime thing we need to go, but someone needs to go out there for code and force them to be out there. And I'm not

Just being out there as a tur deterrent to get 'em away. And when you don't do that, what happens is they keep coming and coming and coming. It's it's not premiered. And we got stuff in place, but I need the resources in my district. I don't care if they look at anything else right now. Well let me get my people out there to encode just to do that. Seven P M It's the most important thing I have in my district. And that'll that'll probably slow down the camps that you have because they know they can go. By the way, there's another uh issue that just came up. There was a church on Old Dixie Highway. And

again I just got this call this afternoon beside the break, so haven't you talked to anybody from staff about this whatsoever. But there's an old church that there was an old Dixie Highway And Hudson Avenue. Uh we've got now i we we allowed this from fr when the church was there to have our uh showers go out there. For the people? So go out and take a shower? the church has now left and gone to five A Road. So there's no church there. they're still giving away food there. in conducting business there.

I don't think they're permitted to go do all that. So if we could like to get code out there to go take a look at that. Right away. And that's all

OakleyChair

I have. That's all you get. Okay? First of a bowel.
