Oakley report Tucker Cemetery and flooding

1:59:49Oh I'm gonna pay your miscellaneous. What am I doing? All right, let's move on. Commissioner Oakley, old business. Old business, no, I don't want to go back. I'm just moving down my book. Run through them again real quick. And I can't play around cold medicine because that's warning. Recap.

2:00:06Uh I would like to thank uh real property and planning team for their extra efforts and uh the Tucker family uh reached out to us with questions regarding the Tucker Cemetery which was deeded to Pasco County in 1965. And I'd like to thank Heather, Josh, and Nick for their time and research in that project, finding that information, finding out that it was dedicated or given to the Pasco

2:00:37County for maintenance, and they're looking further into what they can do to help.

2:00:45bring some closure to find out who's there, who's taking care of it. And I think they're probably going to uh help out in some of that maintenance that of Tucker Cemetery. Um

2:00:59Also I'd like to bring up uh

2:01:05The fact that you know, we do a lot of things here in the county and the county's been moving really fast and all with COVID and everything else that we've gone through and our staff has gone through. We've got to be very appreciative for for Stan's service while he was here and the training he did for his assistance that helped carry us on. Um but all of staff, all of the departments, uh be very thankful for the work they do. They're They're

2:01:35pushed to the limit. I mean they have stacks of paperwork in front of them. First time I'd ever heard it but uh even Mr. Goldstein had had s a stack after he came back from vacation he had to work on. So So they didn't leave him out while he was gone. But the fact of it is I think we're all very appreciative of all of our staff. We appreciate the extra work you do. Um even though at times we try to give direction and and things

2:02:06to lead us further down the trail to get through with some of your work. So we we try to push to continue that and speed it up and and streamline it the best we can because it's important to our county and it's p important for us to get these things done. We have a lot of job jobs coming forward to uh being our county based on a lot of projects we have coming forward. Those are very important for us. They help pay the bill. And so not only are they

2:02:36will pay the bill but they'll also provide work for for all of our citizens. So we gotta be thankful. But I'm just thankful for all our our staff and all their assistants and their teams because we're all a team together. We need to realize that. Sometimes that maybe we forget that, but we're all working together. And just very appreciative of all the staff.

2:03:02I had uh the issue on King Lake and uh Mike you w may want to uh look into this. The deal on King Lake were uh Uh Kenton Road. I've been looking at it for quite a while because we had some flooding over in Nowood Acres on the east side of Efferson. And I've I've noticed that some of the drainage that used to be in King Lake area was to the north going through

2:03:32Mara Maratha. But ever since Epherson's come and Maraudha had started. There's no water draining to the north at all. It's all been pushed out to the west side of King Lake and uh through the three gentlemen that were here speaking earlier, they were speaking the truth. They're being flooded on that on that west side because the islets they used to have and one of them especially goes under uh Tyndall Road.

2:04:03going to the north through Maratha to the I believe it goes all the way to the Cypress Creek area. Um That's no longer happening. So somehow I'd like like somebody uh Mike. Kabala and his team maybe reach out to Uh Donald Kerry is very much a well well aware of what's going on there and I'd like to look further because somebody's caused a real issue and it's caused some of

2:04:33our I mean it doesn't matter if it's one citizen or a hundred citizens, every citizen counts here in Pasco County and that should be corrected. There's a flood issue there caused by development and we should not have that happening and no development should cause that on another individual in our county. So if you will look in into that and uh Let's see. I guess that's all except for um Dan

2:05:04again all I appreciate all that you've done for us. I appreciate the training you gave our your Akas and and making sure they were doing their job and and you allowed 'em to do their job. I appreciate that. So I uh We won't forget you and uh

2:05:25We'll just keep going forward. But you set us on the right trail to be very premier in this county and And the future's bright. Come back to see us when you can and As a citizen we'll be willing to help you. All right, well that that's all I have. Mr. More.
