Commissioner Mariano stormwater and roads report

3:34:36Thank you. So just like Kathryn takes stuff off my list.

3:34:45everyone should if they get COVID, been exposed to COVID, it's a good Regeneron is the name that we're using. And uh I thank I thank the governor and Kevin Guthrie was there. Our old emergency management director was there and uh He's doing a great job for the governor as well. Um I'm very happy that the folks from Green Key came forward today, didn't know they were coming. But um They they do have some issues and I'm glad to see that we're gonna take a care addressing them and I do think we need to work closely with the city of New Port Richey

3:35:15uh coming up to s to study that stormwater situation as well as to coordinate a paving assessment in that whole area. Now they're not gonna be able to do a paving assessment like us, but we need to get them to do some of their roads at the same time we're doing ours to make sure the drainage is going to be enhanced. And hopefully they'll be good with that. Um

3:35:34With the the county administrator and uh Sally's team we can work with the Sheriff's Office to work on the homeless that are in that area to make sure that area does get trespassed, it does get cleaned up and it maybe even to the point to be so bad in there. Which is pretty bad that we even just get to clean up one way or the other. I'll just say that. Uh I th I like the street light assessment program, which we can do along with the paving paving assessment program at the same time. Um part of it may be city, part of it may be county, but it sur certainly would help the area. And

3:36:05let me ask about Philly Lane. Um We've seen emails go back and forth and I've had everybody I think included Dan and and and Mike. Um The road there does go low. It's a basin that just the water's gonna go there. No question about it. There's one access point that goes across I don't even know if I could get to that point. But we need to at least try to do some pumping. I remember years ago we did it. The way we did it, we pumped it to one area, it was kind of up the hill, then came back down the

3:36:35hill. if there's some temporary way or some better way we can go do it, I think I'd like to study it and go take a look at it. Um

3:36:44Do you d Dan do you and Mike still? And Jeff as well. Are you with the opinion that we can't go pump for those people or we can? Mm-hmm.

3:36:56So my understanding with Philly Lane is that you know if if there's road related type flooding and I can't recall but let's just assume that it's it's our road and and we we maintain it. You know we're not going to be able to do The roads are passable. Um so I think the residents were concerned about flooding on their property, um, in which case we we need to tread cautiously there, I guess, would would be what I would say. I mean I I can we can certainly look at it. Let me let me look at it. Let me come back with a coordinated

3:37:26response on Philly Lane so we can fully address the nuances that are going on out there.

3:37:31Okay. I'd appreciate that. Um And on Beaker Woods Drive, um The citizen came forward to speak on that.

3:37:41It's a hassle. You took a two lane left turn on Bekovers Drive going south, now it's down to one. Uh traffic did a great job making the timing of the lights go better to give it more time to get the people out there. But uh it was very frustrating and I sent an email earlier this week Uh staff saying Why I why isn't any work going on while this Yeah. traffic impediment is still out there. Um I haven't heard anything back, I don't think. I had Sonia checking it, but I didn't seen it as of lunch. Follow. Um we could follow up just

3:38:11to keep pushing along. I was happy to say that after I did send the email two days later, there was a couple of trucks out there at least doing something, but the next day there was no one. Um And lastly, um You know, I think we're doing a a great job in many different things. One of the things that happened just a couple of weeks ago is we did I I did, I'm sure the rest of the board did an evaluation for Dan. Um for the trust. Dan, I trust you. Um but I think it would be a good idea if we go back to what we did years ago was to do an evaluation on

3:38:41the county administrator and the county attorney. Uh regional planning council does it every year. If and I know Jeff has his old one that we used to have. I think it's good if we bring that back and Let us do an evaluation as well.

3:38:56I can I'll resend the board what I sent. I think about eighteen months ago. So I mean as a draft appraisal. I I wanna say it was about eighteen months ago, maybe a little longer now. It was pre COVID, that's all I remember. Okay.

3:39:11I have hard copies of the form that we use that I can give all the commissioners before the end of the meeting.

3:39:16Okay. That's all I have. Thank you.

3:39:18Okay. Mr. Powells.

3:39:21Sorry,

3:39:21write the note.
