Several speakers Hello. Jennifer Sini, [address removed]. Um and I'm not giving you any of those other stats that you might be interested in. Um I'm here representing the Penny Pack, your Penny Pack. The people that are working to campaign to pass this renewal of the penny sales tax. I can say that I do represent the group when I say the group supports this ordinance as written. And I'm here to tell you that we're doing very well on fundraising. For those of you who are at our kickoff meeting last Thursday, thank you for being there. For those that weren't, I hope you'll come and meet with us and join us at other things. I wanted to say something about the history of the penny, not to reiterate what you've already heard. Баз сама вас. And this campaign needs a lot of money now this time around, not because there's opposition to this penny per se, but there are so many new people. in Pasco County that many, many people have not heard about this penny for Pasco and they don't understand it. So

Several speakers and that's what the original intent of this penny was for. So with that in mind, my personal opinion, this is not the penny pack, my personal opinion is the county needs to emulate the school district and have a citizen oversight committee. that actually looks at the projects that this penny, this newer version of the penny is going to cover. And gives their input on it. So With that, I want to say yes, I'm 100% for the penny. I'm for this ordinance, the way it's written, and I want to remind you all of what it's supposed to do. So thank you for your time. Thank you.

Several speakers we're going to be doing a very large educational push to get this penny through. Um in 2004 it was very tight. And in 2004, one of the things that helped us pass this penny was the fact that the county in particular committed to specific projects that had to do with improving older infrastructure, traffic lights, intersections, old roads, and it helped pass the penny. And then we got two thousand and twelve, the renewal in two thousand and twelve. And we added something new. which was the economic development section. And all of us supported that too. And there have been a lot of good things that have come out of that. So here we are now in 2022. And I would like to remind the board that there are still many, many things about our older infrastructure. that needs attention

Amber Tucker that is due used for traffic might be inadequate. If the county is in fact using outdated formulas that do not properly calculate growth, how does that make our community better? From the Pasco County Office of Economic Growth website, target industries do not have to pay mobility fees to the county when they locate or expand their business in Pasco. During the March 21st Planning Commission meeting, residents were told that we're in a chicken and egg scenario where the county can't build infrastructure before it is needed. Giving incentives to businesses while telling residents we can't get improved infrastructure unless there are heads in beds, another quote from the Planning Commission, how does that make our community better? The only reason we have seen any improvements in our neighborhood is because residents are paying more in sales tax through the penny for passage. That's why we have that nice sidewalk from Hudson Avenue to the Hudson Schools Complex because taxpayers are paying extra the penny for Pasco. The penny for Pasco generally brings in more revenue than projected. Can penny funds be used to make

Several speakers The other funding source that was mentioned in public comment was Penny for Pasco. Penny for Pasco is an infrastructure sales tax. It cannot be used for a dredging type project, no nor was it even mentioned to the voters when it was approved.

- Invasive vegetation removal land development code amendment 69
Several speakers sir. Committee? But I do recall having conversations with you. So that means what I was going to say is relevant, which is I go back three decades and I've been participating in Pasco County issues for many years. My most proud accomplishment was getting the Environmental Lands Program in 2000 and then funding it with a penny for Pasco in 2004. I have a penny pasco uh buddy here on your committee. We worked our Buddy's off. Um to through three pennies and I've worked on all of those campaigns. I now am serving on the Board of Directors of the Tampa Bay Conservancy, which is a uh local land trust which um tr works to preserve important ecosystems in the Tampa Bay area through fee simple purchase and also through conservation easement. Um I watched your May discussion. And I'm hearing the same discussion

Michael Pultoric What your voters see is Pasco for Penny. Penny for Pasco, I apologize. Over this decade is giving us $1.9 billion to the county. Eight hundred and fifty five million is for schools. 342 million is for transportation. 171 million is for public safety. We are yet to hear where the fire stations are going. We are yet to hear where the public schools are going. and we do not accept the explanations for why the proper roads aren't being put in to protect the existing residents. I bring this up because Hillsborough County Fire Rescue just opened the third fire station on the main dragon Brandon, And on day one, it became the second most busy fire station in all of Hillsborough County Fire Rescue. And they run over 130,000 calls per year. That station was fifteen years overdue.
- Parks capital maintenance MSTU zero millage
Christy Zimmer It's on the record. Christy Zimmer, Pine Concord. Uh my question is this. We have the penny for Pasco, which is a substantial amount that was approved for fifteen years. The county gets the forty-five percent and out of that twenty percent goes to Elamp Parks and Recreation Infrastructure. How is that money being implemented into what you're talking about? Isn't that enough money for maintenance? That's a capital that's a capital

attorney to the tourist development council Excellent. Well, good afternoon, Commissioners. Elizabeth Blair, Senior Assistant County Attorney, House of the County Attorney's Office.

Several speakers amount? It it is subsidized by three different sources, which is um the transportation portion of the penny, the um second local option gas tax, and a portion of the tax increment funds. So it is made up from another revenue source. But I think Nick will tell you that the amount of permits that use that particular fee reduction is fairly minimal. So I don't think it's gonna be something that would break the bank.
