    Mariano tri-county workshop and code enforcement

    Jack Mariano So the way I understood this discussion was supposed to go, what's important to you, what do you want to see in your district? So my answer was I want to deal with the homeless, the homeless and panhaming. And then after that more homeless and panhaming. That's my focus. Okay. That's what I want to t take a look at. That's what we've got to go deal with, at least for my area. And I'm I'm not and I think every commissioner should be able to say, here's what I want to see happen. And if that means they're going to change their district, so be it. The way you have it all lined up.

    R-55 homeless services system of care

    Jack Mariano That's right. I'd like you to share it with the board as well. Um You know, I'm I'm l I'm I'm glad we're doing the housing first, but I'm a little concerned what's gonna happen when the money runs out. These people are in homes. What are we gonna do? in two years when there's not the carers money, there's other other money's not available, how are these people gonna be making on their on their own if you looked at all that and how do you think the success rate's gonna be?

    Trash, homeless camps, and trespass agreements enforcement

    Jack Mariano from Swiftmont out there. I said, John, I says, you know, we gotta let us get this vegetation out of here. The homeless are coming in. It's destroying it. He says, Well we can't do that. It's a conservation easement. I go, wait a second. I says, look at what's here, look at what it's causing because of your conservation easement. I said, now let's go walk and we walked to the bridge. We looked on the side, down the Leisure Canal on the other side. Nothing but grass. Right? No vegetation. No homeless real dead, no big trash on that side anymore with all the fencing we did. So I get A government telling me we can't go clean up what we want to go clean up to to make it set because of the easement, even though on the other side of the same canal we can treat it differently.

Um Community development services out there all looking at trying to make make some things happen and um I'm encouraged that we've got some opportunities that could be coming up to take a look at. But I do want to say when you talk about code enforcement officers, um I need them working very closely with the Sheriff's Office. I had one right now from a from a property that I know has had people in the back. I've got a development with an ALF coming in in the back. When the ALF was doing surveying work They had homeless people there with machetes threatening the survey as they left. We went back out there with code. Cleaned them out. But I'm here to tell you. From the email I got uh just today and I I put you on it, Sally. uh put Mike on it, put the sheriff on it, uh code enforcement team, sheriff's officers.

Because we have a whole bunch of trouble properties like this that if we did this once and for all it may may may give us a solution we need.
