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.

All right, very good. And uh I think tomorrow we have the jail expansion going on. On third expansion right?
And uh on Thursday at HCA Bayonet Point has got their I think it's hundred rooms they're opening up. Uh the facility HCA Bayonet Point at four PM on Thursday, they're gonna do their uh grand opening which has been a long time coming. The building looks so good. They designed it like it almost looks like it built it from day one. Really did a good job. Um great news as far as fire stations go, they broke round at Hudson at Majesta. So the ground is clear, so I'm sure we'll be tossing some shovels out there pretty soon. Um and C
Pines, from what I got from an email from yesterday, was there's just a couple little things that we're looking at right now. We're gonna send it back to them. I hope it can be on the agenda next week. And Mike, if nothing else, even if we don't have it back in time for Friday, which we may get it back in in time, if you could put a placeholder on it. I want to make sure we put that up there so we can get that uh next steps rolling.
Is
my fire station moving along?
Uh
dead in the water.
And and something to talk about too, we you know we took we talked about Wesley Chapel, the Athletic Association, who has done a great job for many, many years. We do have a bigger demand. I think we should all be getting maybe a group briefing or somehow every one of us should be talking to Keith Wiley about between Mitchell being raised up, where we're trying to get a couple of million dollars from the state, Maggie Valley, what we do.
I I encourage you guys talk to Keith. Let's go talk about what we're gonna go do and keep moving. Um and Hudson Beach, I wanna say that uh I'm very pleased that Brantford uh I called them up about getting the beach done uh because the sand that's gone down the side uh it turns out it's about a four-hour job. They're gonna take the beach sand that's on the side. Put it up in the beach so Hudson Beach is gonna look better in a very short period of time. Which I'm very pleased with. Um and
I do think that um as far as recycling, glad you brought it up. If we could look at one thing, Mike, just as a big picture thing, I don't expect anything real quick, but
We have
a
lot of one things we're looking at here.
Yeah. Um recycling is very important to us. The more we keep out of landfill, the better. I'd like to see us if we're not doing enough and that the more we can do between parks, libraries, all the county facilities to make those Uh opportunities available. I know we do it in the county building, but I'm not sure if we're doing it everywhere else. So
we can take
a look at that.
Thank you for saying that. Um because um multiple citizens ask us how often we do it. We tell them that we partner with recycling, do it, you know, every January and February. Um but we try to tell them about Earth Day and and all but there is a need, they ask when else it's done throughout the year. So
Okay. Thank you for that.
Commissioner Oakley, on that on that recycling. Um my husband told me in uh Mr. Utility, former utility director. Um Mr. Waste Management Person. I don't remember what company you work for. Republic. You want me to stand up there? Uh I don't know which company it is that we have I would say it works. But we pay at our business. We have a regular garden Garbage and then we have a recycling dumpster, which we pay more for than the regular garbage,
my husband said. And Um they apparently they pick up the recycling and the dumpster and they put it all together. The cardboard and they're they're mixing it together. Who's doing that? Is that what we're supposed to be doing? Because we're going to have to do that.
This business would like to give us that information. We can We can look into that. Okay. It doesn't sound right to me, but I know
it didn't sound right to me. Waste Connections does most of the service in that area, but I don't know who
Yeah, well we'll we'll we'll we can look into that.
All right, well I'd just like to say um you know tonight was one heck of a meeting. We all knew it was going to be, but I want to say I I give you all the credit in the world. You ask all the questions, we fired all the answers, uh and I think it was a it was a good meeting as long as it took that it had to happen this way. So I thank you all. I love serving with this board, I think you guys are great.
I I thought I thought these meetings always went this long.
