Here. Now is it time for public comment. Citizens are given an opportunity to comment on any current or future agenda item coming before the board and other any other business on the board's purview. Today's public comment will be handled as follows. First we will take public comment for those who are here in person. Then we'll take public comment for those who are pre-registered for a WebEx Link and currently on queue. We had asked We ask when you address the board, comments are not directed at personally against the commissioner or team member, but rather directed at the issue. This
provides mutual respect between the board members and the public. After stating your name and address for the clerk, a three minute timer will be activated and a green light will be shown in the podium. After two minutes, a yellow light will indicate that you have one minute left. When your time is up, a red light will be displayed, three beep beeps will sound, and you should close your comments. WebEx participants will be disconnected automatically when their time is up. Uh I'm just gonna take a little step out of our normal procedure. Um I know we got a lot of people from Heritage Pines
here and I'm gonna bring up Uh Chase Standards to be the first speaker of it as we go forward. And I just want to let everyone know for the first time in my twenty-one years, we actually have an agenda, consent agenda, where not a single item is pulled.
Yes, sir, Commissioner. Uh Chase Daniels, Pasco Sheriff's Office, uh Under Sheriff Community Outreach. Uh so Commissioner, thank you very much for uh for bringing forward. I I know um you have certainly there's a lot of uh concern that you'll hear today in Heritage Pines, especially regarding uh trespassing TV use, gunfiring, uh, loud music in an area known as the East Pitts. I can let you know that the Sheriff's Office has been very, very well aware of uh of this concern. Uh and last year we started uh special details on Friday and Saturday nights, every Friday and Saturday night in April, May,
and June. Uh unfortunately, we did not see a lot of improvement, so we restarted those in September, October, and November. Uh Again, unfortunately, we did we did not see a lot of improvement with that. Um, I will say that the property owner has been very, very good to work with. We have a trespassing agreement in place. The property owner also had had an extra duty detail and has provided us side-by-sides to allow us to get out into the woods. Um I do want to give uh credit to the to the property owner of this area. Um throughout those operations, you know, like I said, in April, May, June, September,
October, November. We largely focused on traffic stops and trespassing violations. We issued numerous of those, and those were just out of the special details, not to include the calls or service we also responded to there. However, unfortunately, over the holidays, we did see an increase in this again. I know Commissioner Mariano and I both received numerous emails. Members of our command staff and I met with uh Mr. Hurley, who is uh the general manager of Heritage Pi. And I believe you'll you'll also hear from him today. Um, kind of walked him through our plan as we move forward as well.
Um, with that, we now have uh ramped up our efforts even more out there. Uh so for this month, we have had daily operations out there. Uh we have also started using our unmanned aerial systems. We have used electronic signboards to advise people whenever they're coming in and out of the property on the major thoroughfares that they are trespassing and subject to uh arrest. Or other violation. Um, and we also continue, like I said, with those now nightly patrols out in that out in that area as calls for service allow. Um, so we are certainly aware of the problem, doing all we can out there. Uh, I
will say uh I have received emails the last two weekends that things have drastically improved. People reported being able to sleep through the through the night and through the weekend. Um so it seems like the efforts are making a positive impact out there, but they're certainly something we're going to continue over the next uh uh several months as we work to uh to rein in this this issue.
Well Chase, has the enforcement has the enforcement op um Office, we greatly appreciate your stepping up and listening to the residents and taking the actions you've taken. So thank you.
Yes, sir. Thank you.
Our first person signed Andrew Bloom.
I have a petition here, may May I give this petition? Seem file. Second.
All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Your name and address for the record, please.
Andrew Bloom, [address removed]. Ready to go?
Go ahead, sir.
Hello to all commissioners, especially Commissioner Mariano, our district's commissioner. participants and observers. My name is Andrew Bloom and I'm a board member of Tall Pines Village. a village within the Heritage Pines community in Hudson. I am here at the request of our Board President, and other officers and residents of numerous villages and heritage pines. Also the general manager of Heritage Pines and HOA President are well aware of our presence
here. and have encouraged our participation. I have amended my originally planned comments in light of recent developments. the last two weeks have shown a noticeable improvement. to bringing an element of peace to our neighborhoods. For months we've been subjected to intolerable noise and gunfire disturbances in close proximity to our homes. Thanks to the efforts of the Sheriff's Office and County Commissioner Mariano, We have had a relatively
peaceful couple of weeks. I say relatively. That being said, gunfire and off read off-road vehicle distractions were still heard. especially near the spindrift loop vicinity in our community. However, I understand that they were of a shorter than usual duration. We hope that this reduction in illegal disturbances continues until they are non-existent. We hope as well that this is just not a brief respite from monster truck-like
noise, the random nearby firing of automatic weapons, illegal party gatherings, and the setting of bonfires and drought conditions. We are here to ask that a lasting permanent solution be found to these problems. As recently as approximately three weeks ago, on New Year's Eve, there was a huge gathering close to our homes, replete with automatic weapons firings, loud music, and the roar of enhanced sound vehicles.
This was our New Year's Eve. Three weeks ago. All I've just mentioned about New Year's Eve is substantially similar to what we have endured over the last number of months. These frequent disturbances have been lasting until as late as four AM in the morning. For months. Last but not least is a loss of value to our homes. Many of us are of an age that we have to consider moving to an assisted living facility. These
facilities are not cheap. Others plan to bequeath their home's value to their children or grandchildren. unless these disturbances are eliminated the fair price sale of a wide swath of Heritage Pines homes will be jeopardized. This would have a rippling depressive effect. on home values in the entire Heritage Pines community. I speak as a retired real estate broker and appraiser. We do appreciate the research
are we done?
Yeah. Okay. Wrap it up. Thanks.
We appreciate the recent efforts of relevant agencies and individuals over the past two weeks. But again, we ask that a permanent solution be found. There is little doubt that these illegal activities will resume if a long lasting solution isn't implemented. Thank you.
Thank you.
These don't see so clap. Please know clapp. And and if you've again, if you heard Chase Daniels and this gentleman, I think you were very eloquent and very accurate. Uh we are on it. We're gonna stay on it and and get you peace in that neighborhood. But anyone else want to speak, they still can.
Thank you, sir. Uh I'm gonna go ahead and pick up others that had signed up under heritage fines. Her m Hurley?
Good morning, Herb Hurley, [address removed]. I am the general manager of Heritage Pines. Good morning, Commissioners. I want to thank you for the opportunity to speak today. As I said, I am the general manager of Heritage Pines. And before addressing our concerns, which we all know what those concerns are, I want to thank Sheriff Knoco, Chase Daniels, Sergeant Paul Downey, yourselves the commissioners, also Barbara Riles, the property owner. for all their work they have done in responding to our concerns. Their continued
presence, professionalism, responsiveness in addressing trespassing and noise violations have not gone unnoticed. We are grateful for their efforts and their commitment to public safety. While we appreciate those actions that have been taken, I'm here on behalf of the residents because the nuisance conditions continue on. Despite the enforcement efforts, sorry, residents are still experienced ongoing disturbances, including excessive noise, repeated trespassing, and these issues are not isolated. They're happening just about every weekend. Heritage
Pines is a well-established residential community, and our residents take pride in maintaining a safe and quiet and respectful neighborhood. Unfortunately, the continued activity coming from the property to our south undermines those efforts and has become a persistent problem to our homeowners. We are not here to place blame. but rather asked for continued attention, coordination, and support from the county to help bring about a long-term and sustainable solution. Our residents simply want the ordinances and regulations already in place consistently enforced so
that everyone can so coexist peacefully. On behalf of the Heritage Pines residents, I respectfully ask that the commissioners remain engaged on this issue. And to assist in identifying additional measures that can help prevent these ongoing nuisances from occurring. Thank you again for your time and consideration and for your continued support of our community.
Uh next person signed up was Alan Rose.
Your name and address for the record, please, sir.
Good morning. Alan Rose, [address removed]. And what anything else huh?
That's all right. Okay. Go ahead.
Good morning. It's I'm here to just to address the RIParian flow throughout West Pasco County. It's really becoming a b an issue along with the rest of the waterways. So West Pasco County's uh central flood basin has been created. by impairing our riparian flow through the ha hardening of our perimeters on the north State Road fifty two, on the south, side uh Ridge Road, East Moon Lake Road, and West Little road. Water can flow in. But
it can't flow out. The south portion of the basin. as the Riparian flows moving through Rocky Sink Spillway, Tanglewood Spillway, Hidden Lake Spillway. all bringing our f our riparian flow to the Coti River. Then out to the Gulf of America. The north section of the of the basin. all flowed to Bear Creek and then out to the Gulf of America. Local government most recently, last year or so, they adjusted the flu, future land use, without consideration
of our water flow producing a central flood basin within West Pasco Local agents will tell you, they have it engineers. handling stormwater uh for this rezoning and development. The engineers do a great job. beautiful designs with uh retention ponds and everything. They handle uh the pollution issues so well. yet they do not address the riparian flow of water, can causing upstream flooding and many other
issues. They do comply with the EP needs f for this and that's why we do have the impaired basins is because of the water not flowing and we have pollutions. So now all of those uh basins hold the pollutants from going into our waterways. Still we have the impaired basins. So uh Crane's Roost, Bass Lake, Golden Acres, Hidden Lake, Osceola Heights, Griffin Park, Timber Oaks, Beacon Woods, Summer Tree, Shady Hills, West Moon Lake, Water's Edge,
River's Edge, all communities. Directly affected and uh are now having flooding they haven't had before. We've always had some flooding. We have a lot of wetlands, but because of the lack of flow uh our our Iparian flow is not functioning at all. And uh it's just causing a lot it's gonna cause a lot more issues. And if we continue to neglect this, what's gonna happen is you're gonna c you're gonna have a a flood basin going from fifty two all the way down to Trinity, and you know what Trinity is because of the
lack of addressing these issues, that the spillways the the streams, n we're not having any maintenance done and it's it's really causing flooding. So the more you develop And we're good with development. But if you can keep the right period flow, it can handle all that development. If we're not maintaining the the riparian flow. All this hardening and all this development that we want and we we can use up here, it it's gonna flood out. The next one upcoming is gonna be uh Tanglewood. Banglewood's because of the future development coming up. The water's
gonna be pressed over there, and Danglewood spillway is is impaired right now and not functioning properly. So you're gonna now have everything. golden acres, tanglewood flooding out, and then going south.
We need to wrap it up. If you would, before you leave, talk to Brantford and talk to him about the cross connection we can make from um your area over to Tim Broaks where we can make that flowway connection. It could w could help a lot for that area. It could. We have work on Magnolia Valley too, but if you would talk with Brantford.
Thank you.
Thanks. Mike Garrant?
Good morning. Michael Durant, [address removed]. I'm also here today to talk about the impaired waterways of the Cody and Anclo River Delta. Uh this tri tributary Uh To the southwest of our county has experienced rapid development. uh in the past ten years that drainage experts uh couldn't even imagine. Uh I've experienced it firsthand. To give you a little background, I'm a retired Coast
Guard helicopter rescue swimmer for 21 years. I've dealt with numerous hurricanes, uh, to include uh Ivan. Uh Katrina Rita uh And many more. So uh After uh last year after Hurricane uh Milton came through our area, I was called Uh by a friend of mine Uh who was in a panic, who was uh Over at the Seven Springs and Fifty Four area. Who had
three feet of water on his roadway and it was coming up behind his house of the Enclow River Delta. Uh He asked me if there was anything I could do. He heard that uh During that week I was pumping out uh all the pools in my neighborhood along the Cody River from Hurricane Helene. So I said sure, I'll give it a try. So I drove over in my truck Over to Highway 54 and Seven Springs where I had to stop because there was water reaching the road. Uh from there I took a kayak.
And my dewatering pump that pumps 120 gallons a minute, and I paddled into the neighborhood in about waist deep water. Um After about six hours, I was able to pump the water from the back of the house. to the front where the street and the the proper drainage was so that uh he got very minimal water in his home, but I mean we had sandbags. Um it it was pretty amazing to see that much water uh and the lack of drainage. Um
So uh with that being said, uh
Uh None of these residents have flood insurance that went through that. And they're not in a flood zone, but I mean they had a good solid three feet of water. Um I'm asking that you know we look at these areas Uh These residents don't have flood insurance. So, you know, when that happens and they lose stuff, we know FEMA kicks in and then flood insurance goes up for everyone. Um We need to invest uh our money into our impaired waterways. Uh The
stormwater uh carries pollutants that go to the Gulf of America. Uh we must invest, you know, some money now because if we kick the can down the road, you know, labor and materials are gonna be way more expensive. Uh This will provide cleaner waterways to marine life, keep residents safe. uh keep our fluid insurance costs down and for prevent people that uh don't k or aren't in a flood zone to be come in a flood zone. Uh
And uh All right. Thank you. And if you could thank you for your service. But if you would talk to Brantford, I would like to get that information from you. We're going to be going to D.C. coming up. We've been working on Enclove for a long time. I want to use what you just said.
Yes, sir.
And I have
video and pictures that I'll
provide you. If you would talk to Brantford, I'm going to use you to go further with it. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Starkey.
Of what neighbor sir? What neighborhood were you referring to?
Um it was along uh fifty four and seven springs. I couldn't tell you a sign. I could get the address. I I believe it it was hard to tell there you know there was waste deep water so I wasn't really looking around. Um
So
I'll be around. I'll
stay here for through commissioners items, which we should get to this morning, right? We'll we will talk about uh cleaning up the rivers because we have the money for it. Yeah. We have a grant. We did that the la last time there was a big flood, so stay stay tuned and because we don't really engage during commission items.
But I'll ask the questions. Thank you. Rick Rager.
Mr. Rager, your name and address for
the right, please. Good morning, Commissioners. Uh Richard Rager, most people call me Rick, uh [address removed]. I live in the uh heritage plants community. I want to thank all the HB people that are here. I certainly support everything that they have said today. But I just want to talk a little bit about Connie Land Road. Uh for about 20 years I've been an ad I've been a resident of Heritage Pines for about 20 years now, and I've been an ad advocate for expansion of County Line Road. In fact, uh I I call it uh the forgotten road. Um several
years ago I started a petition in Heritage Pines, and several hundred people signed that petition, and that petition was given to the proper commissioners, both in Hernando. and Pasco County. Uh since then not much has been done. Uh some improvements, but basically County Line Road is a dangerous road. It's it's a s it's a out of date two-lane road. It's heavily trafficked. Um, God forbid you get somebody uh in front of you that's making a left turn. Because uh you could be backed up for a a a block very easily. Um I've since I've
been here for 20 years I've seen a lot of expansion on roads 54, 52, even uh 50 in in uh Hernando County.
Our road, the forgotten road. Um I would ask All the commissioners that consider this a s a countywide project. and get together and work with the Hernando County Commissioners to move it up on their priority list because I understand no construction is planned for about seven years. I think that's shameful. This is an important road for not only HP residents, but all the all the folks that travel up and down. um County Line Road to try to get to the toll road. So Nothing would make me happier than to expand
that road all the way to the toll road. And and I can stop calling it the Forgotten Road. I'd rather call it the Jack Mariano Roadway.
No,
no, no. The
County Commissioner's road.
Thank you. Thank you.
No clapping.
Please. Bill Eschenbah.
The dirt dog. Yeah.
Good morning. Yeah, I'm the dirt dog. I'm Bill Eschenbach, founder of Eschenbah Land Company in 403 South Willow Avenue in Tampa, Florida. And uh I'm here today to speak for two landowners at Sea Pines in US 19. And I just really want to thank the commission first of all for having us up here today. It looks like we're on the consent agenda. I wanna thank your staff at Elamp. They worked really hard, walked through uh water out there one day with them up to our knees to checking the property out. They've done a very thorough job. So we're happy to be at this stage and we hope that we continue the
process. I want to be off here while my green light's still on, so I want to heal a couple minutes back to everyone. But uh hope you support the couple hundred acres out there that go perhaps into parks and uh help control flooding in that whole area of sea pines and US 19. So pleasure to be here. I just wanted to show up and I'm so happy to be on the consent agenda this morning. Thank you. Have a good day. With no polls. Yeah.
Uh Robert Castro.
Robert Castro.
Uh Barbara Riles.
Hello, I'm Barbara Riles. I live at [address removed]. I am the owner and manager of DCH Timber Property, the 520 acres, which is in question. The land has been owned by my family for over 80 years, and I'd like to first start by thanking Commissioner Mariano, he has been a great partner and a great advocate for trying to solve this problem with
the trespassers. I'd also like to thank the Pasco County Sheriff's Office who has worked so closely with me, and there are many officers that have been involved in patrolling this parcel, and they have been absolutely great to work with. I have paid over thirty-four thousand dollars over four years to for off duty police officers in trying to increase the patrol of the property. And then the Pasco County Sheriff's Office said, you know what, it's really not working and
you're wasting your money because one officer can't do what we need done. We need uh larger groups of officers to come out there. I offered and wrote a check for an ATV for Pasco County Sheriff's Office in attempting to provide additional equipment that they might be able to use to patrol my property and other property owners. I feel for any property owner who has these trespassing issues that
that just can't seem to be solved. I paid thousands of dollars for trash which has been cleaned up on the property that have been left by the trespassers. I purchased uh Pasco County signage uh from the Sheriff's Department in order to have official trespassing signs. Of course, what's the first thing a trespasser does? They take the sign down so that I have to go back and replace and replace and replace. I um I I would uh unfortunately the property at 520
acres is just too large to um to fence and these people seem to be so aggressive that are going on my property that I f have no doubt that they would immediately just take down the fence. I just want the commission and I'd like the residents of Heritage Primes to know that I stand with you in trying to solve this problem and I will do anything that you ask me to do in order to make it better. Thank you.
Barbara, thank you. Before you go, though, this is such such a big issue, just take a quick moment. Um, and I know it's been a difficult and I've been pushed with the idea about should we look at fencing it? And I I agree with you. We've had our own areas, we've even faced our own county property. They cut it, they go through, and they tear it up anyway. So even you put a fence up, that weakest length they go through and it's gone anyway. But I'd like you to consider, if you would, Keith Lam's in the back of the room there. Um, we're buying some environmental lands over in Sea Pines we just mentioned. This is a property that we actually looked at, we thought would be great to preserve it as well. Uh if you would talk
to Keith, if it's gets nominated, we'd be happy to take that process. And then we can do something even more so to protect the property, and protect the residents, and then uh take care of you as well.
Great. Thank you so much.
Thank
you.
Cheryl Orchard. Yeah. And folks, please don't clap. Thank you.
Love.
I would like to turn these in.
Yeah.
Okay.
All in favor say aye. Aye.
Thank you. My name is Cheryl Orchard. I live at [address removed]. I'm here today because we have terrible issues in four streets where we live, from US 19 down to Sea Forest. We have wooded areas. They're occupied but the homeless people. There out we have gunfire going on out on the island. At the end of Manor Beach. We
have trespassing, now we have houses. By the way I wanna say this, it's good that the permit thing was issued. I think it's a good thing when that flood come through. We have fifty one inches. I'm elevated. It was still a mess. It was still a lot of work. Me and my husband did it ourselves. But we also helped the neighborhood. I thank you for getting in there and get some of the trash out of there from what everybody lost. But
it goes deeper than that, the trauma that it has caused on some of the elderly people and not even the elderly people. trying to restore that neighborhood. They put their heart and soul in that. I had an eighty nine year old neighbor. that lived in her house. With a light a light. With batteries. With no walls. I'm telling you, the people are trying, but we got houses in there and I gotta say this and I know some of you are investors, but
I'm gonna tell you something. Our L L Cs that are in there, they buy these places cheap. They turn around and there's been some that has hired people to come in Let 'em have it rent free for a year. And they didn't have to pay rent. And they were the worst. neighbors to have to live by. the condition of the the the property and it's a nice house. I don't know if that house ever got inspected. But we got one at the end of the street. I
called code. Code turnaround told me they weren't in the lawn service business. Yes, I'm gonna say you gave me an email and yes, I didn't call code. My response from code was, We're not in the law and service business. I said, Well it's rat infested. Well, we're not in the exterminating business. Okay. So we ourselves looked up the owner of that property and we drove to Spring Hill. And we took that went my husband went to the door and
a teenager come to the door and he said, Yes, that's my mother's property. So then I sent a certified letter. She never picked it up. Okay? So after Christmas, I mailed her a Christmas card with not a return address. I'm sure she opened the Christmas card and I had all the information inside. We've done what we can do in there. The waterways are gonna need to be fixed from Anclote all the way down to Crystal River.
We need barrier islands to stop some of that water from coming in. But we thank you for listening and I put your booklet together, you can see the rest of it.
Thank you. If you would, Cheryl, before you go, talk to David Allen and Brantford. Uh there's actually a property we looked at on Green Key, we're trying to get. And I think with David, maybe you can help you talk with the uh the residents out there that were damaged by those storms. We've got uh community development block grant, disaster recovery money, which might be able to help those people that don't think there's help, we might be able to help them.
We need road help.
We're gonna work on that too. Thank you. Thank you. Gary Costa.
Why is there cold air down here? I feel like there's an air conditioner under this dish.
Mm-hmm.
Good morning. My name's Gary Costa, [address removed] and I'm here representing a Worship Life Church and in consideration of uh trading four lots that we have purchased farther down. Um on Hedges Road in the Moon Lake. community area and our church address is 10936 Moon Lake Road. Um the lots that we
would like to trade are four lots that are right south of our property line. And the purpose of uh gaining more uh parking area for our congregation as it is continually to uh enlarge and grow, which is a good thing for us. So um I'm just we're just here uh asking the commission commissioners if they would um consider the trade. Um
I have the lots here that we purchased and the lots that are south of us from the county. And um I um we have uh spoken with Commissioner Uh Yeager as she is our commissioner in our area. And um it would be very beneficial to us and uh very much appreciative if the board would consider doing this for us. Uh I thank you.
Gary, if you would, Andrew Baxter's right there, ready to talk with you, so he can take the information and take it from there.
Okay, thank you. That's the last that we had signed up in advance. Okay. And we have none online.
Okay. Did anyone else want to address the board for any other topics? Before we close it out. Okay. Come forward.
And if anyone else would like to speak out to this lady's plea please get behind her.
I would.
Your name and address for the record, please, ma'am.
Hi, my name is Grace Provolino. I live at [address removed]. I am the current president of Magnolia Valley and just want to um thank you, Lisa, for attending our annual meeting. Um last week. I just wanted to let everybody know who I am and know that I'm representing them going forward. Um we have a lot of concerns and we are ready to address them and I'll be contacting um Paula
later so I can adjust um address some concerns regarding The sidewalks in Magnolia Valley. But other than that, just a greeting. Thank you.
Thank you.
Wonderful.
See
how she's wearing a coat? It's freezing in here.
Your name and address for the record, please.
Jim Abel, [address removed], resident of Heritage Pines. I just want to kind of put an exclamation mark on what everybody's been saying. I'm in my 23rd year now in Heritage Pines, and where I live on Spindrift Loop is right up against the fence line where all of the activity takes place. I moved in the day before Thanksgiving in 2002. And about two thirty, three
o'clock that morning. My bedroom, which is on the back end of the house by the fence, lit up like Yankee Stadium in a night ball game. and the vehicles and the partying and the music that started uh was unbelievable. And I had a statement, What the hell have I done with myself? You know, if this is a regular occurrence. Well, it is and has been a regular occurrence. It was alluded to before that sometimes it's Friday and Saturday night
that this takes place. I beg to differ. This takes place during the daytime, whenever there's a uh a weekend usually, but during the week, if it's nice weather, These vehicles are out, the people are out, the parties start and uh they'll go on till three three thirty, four o'clock in the morning. Uh My granddaughter is a investigator for the state attorneys up in Tallahassee, and her
husband is a SWAT officer for Tallahassee Police Department. Been there a number of years. They were here back in June. And they called me up in the morning. They was staying at the house. I was staying someplace else. And they said that's a good thing. What the hell is going on? Four o'clock in the morning. th this noise, this racket, my God, it you know, it was terrible. We couldn't sleep and the you know, even the little kids, you know, my great grandchildren were were awakened by it. So this is something that uh that
goes on. It's not a two day a week event. It is a seven day a week event depending upon the weather. I don't know if these people have jobs. I don't know what they're doing out there at the wee hours of the morning, racing around in their vehicles, but they're there and it is something that just need to be contended with. In a letter that I sent to Sheriff Nacko back in December, I said to him, If your mom and dad you know, had moved into this property. unbeknownst
to what is going on, that uh uh this problem would come to a screeching halt. Yeah, you wouldn't tolerate it if your folks were living there and I say that to you folks as well. That's it. Thank you very much. Appreciate your time. It's a serious issue.
It's very serious issue and something we've been looking at. I will say I've been in the past couple of months getting emails from eight thirty at night, nine thirty at night, Saturday nights, whatever. One morning I woke up at 2 30 a.m. and I decided I'd start sharing everything right now with With. And I want to say, from the reaction and what you've been going through, are you getting worse or whatever, I want to thank the Sheriff's Office for actually putting the extra effort. It's a short-term quelling of the situation. We're going to look for a long-term solution, though.
Well, I had a meeting uh a week ago, Tuesday, with the sheriff from the STAR team with the Sheriff's Office. office and I was very encouraged by what he said and I just hope that uh everybody follows through on it.
We're gonna we're gonna keep working on it. We're gonna work with Barbara and see what we can do with Keith and and try to make some things happen that will give us a little more control over everything and then we can get stronger with what's going on out there.
Excellent. Thank
