Legislative delegation shovel-ready projects
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.

Alright, so um legislative delegation, I'll touch to that first. I it was a good presentation as far as they listened to everything we said. A lot of discussions honed into if we're gonna fund projects, we're gonna make sure they show our ready. Um Representative Maggot actually talked about roads, having them ready to go, so getting the design is what's key to get these things funded. They didn't want to put a project through that takes a long
time to get through. You know we've had trouble with sometimes Swift MUD projects getting them done. By the time we get it designed because of different reasons they take so long, it looks bad on them, they don't like it. The representatives feel the same way. Get projects that are shovel ready, we're ready to go. And that'll be the easy way to go. So everything we'll look at and this is one of those projects.
So did they did we enroll this here, I guess? Um we put forward our three or four or whatever was I think I have it right now.
Yeah, we put we we gave them the list. Question come down to bottom lines the shovel ready. So whatever it may be and what else coming forward.
Are they shovel ready? Did we give 'em I mean we were told to give 'em shelf shovel ready stuff, so hopefully we did. That wasn't really a secret.
Ralph Lair Intergovernmental Affairs Officer said Yes, the projects you all selected are all shovel ready. Um and again I'll I'll repeat those. Sea Pines Neighborhood Flood Abateman. Parkway Boulevard through Lake Badgett the sidewalk. And the Trilby Road rehabilitation.
Well, we also said You
also included uh the sidewalk over on the west side the sponsors uh that have that road Chose not to do that sidewalk.
Oh really.
So you'd either have to do four
No.
So nothing in in uh nothing in the center. You have
one in west, you have one in central
and you have
one in east. Okay.
Remember me next year.
I d I d I did I I did say if they did have a project they they really liked, they wanted to bring it forward, we can go bring it forward too. So whatever whatever's gonna get them fired up to go get us money, wherever it may come from, we're flexible.
And then Representative Magart, as I as I told you, so he did not name a project by name. He just he just said when we go up to Tallahassee he would like to make sure before we start asking for any additional funding, we make sure we complete projects previously funded in previous years.
Do we have things that are outstanding?
We have one.
And what's that?
Can't car road.
What and what's going on with it?
They're getting ready to award the bid to put it out for construction.
Okay.

Okay. I when you're done that reminded me I'm gonna bring back some Sorry. It's a Ban it's a it's Brandon's. Same setting that.
Okay. Thank you, Ralph.
