Yeager report Habitat, emergency awards, sidewalks
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.

you. Oh no, I sent some. Okay, so um I attended two Habitat for Humanity home dedications. The first dedication I had the honor of handing over the keys to the home to the IA family. Um these dedications are so amazing and all the sweat equity hours these these uh people put into their homes and just how grateful they are for the program and to own their own home. I attended the emergency service recognition
ceremony. That's the next slide.
Oh, okay. Batman's the Batten family. Sorry. Okay, there's the emergency services. Um it was nice to recognize and hear all the stories at who handled the high priority calls, the Lifesaver Award, the Stork Award, and the 10-year awards. These people just make a huge difference in our community. So I'm very thankful to all of them, and that was great to um go to. So our next slide, um, this is an issue with county stormwater retention maintenance and large trees. First
I'd like to thank Barrett Doe from Public Works and Mike Woodward, who is our arborist, for joining me on the site visit to address a couple of concerns from our constituent. First, there's a piece of county property, stormwater retention that is not being properly maintained behind his home. The county is having a hard time getting back the property with the large machinery to maintain the property. Progress is being made. I believe they currently have two of the three easements required to get the larger equipment back
to the site. There is also a large, beautiful tree in the back, that big huge tree. It's on county property. So right now we're Kind of in a dilemma. We're gonna trim some of the trees back just to secure his home. Our fifth slide is: this was an accessibility on Trouble Creek and Grand. Again, I'd like to thank Barrett for joining us on another site visit. The visit was concerning an individual who lost his ability to drive
due to site and relies on his scooter for mobility. There are no Sidewalks on MacArthur and Antoinette Street, which makes him go south to Trouble Creek and east to Grand. He feels crossing at Grand and Trouble Creek is dangerous. He is also asking for additional sidewalk on the west side of Grant. We're in the process of navigating this, but this poor gentleman has to, it takes him like 10 minutes just to make one turn. And I'd like to give a shout out to JP. Murphy who helped
me address some concerns yesterday and get some people uploaded in the portal and one of them was a fire chief from Plant City. I don't have a picture to send that I uploaded, but his whole neighborhood was underwater and there was a transformer issue, so just thank you for him and his team and their quick response. So
That's it. All right. Thank you. Uh Mr Mariano? Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think I got some pictures coming up too.
