Starkey Starkey. Um hey, good morning, and good morning, Speaker Moffitt. Um so uh Josh, you and I talked about this, and as you know, this board is very excited that you guys are here. But I did have some questions, and I don't know if Dave needs to come up because I I'm just seeing these papers. And um so as I mentioned to you on the phone, one one of the concerns for me was was that my understanding when y y'all were coming was that the parcels were gonna be sold. Um and you're non profit, so therefore we're not collecting property taxes. Um So it You sent me a paper that said if you lease If Moffitt leases the space to a for-profit company, we will get property taxes. So I just I just feel we have to protect the the county's investment in and our and our you know our our general revenue may take a big hit here soon. So um this is all very
- AR117Moffitt-Speros Economic Development Grant
Starkey Well, I'll second it and I just wanna say two things. Okay. One, hopefully that bill has died that says a county cannot give any money to a nonprofit because then we wouldn't be able to help you. So let I don't know where that is, but when we get our update Ralph We'll we'll find out about that. Um, I wanna tell you a story that um Two months ago, I I every month I play this game called Bunko, I've been doing it for thirty something years. And um one of my girlfriends in my group said that um both she and her husband have cancer and they're both being treated by Mafia. And they were so excited that they could just drive, you know, ten minutes and get their treatment instead of taking a whole day and um going down to uh Tampa. And um so this this was the week you opened. They they that and uh they were heading over uh over to Wesley Chapel or where whatever we call that area, I'm not sure. Uh Atlanta Lakes. So um so

Starkey getting sponsors for the Pasco Clinic because they all participated in charitably in the counties that they lived in. So while we had high paying jobs here, we weren't getting the benefit of it. So for me that that's important p I don't know how you codify it, but to me that's a important important part of the matrix is that the high paying the high wage earners actually live here and support our businesses. Um and then third, uh especially since you added manufacturing in there, I hadn't seen that before. And I great that we I'm glad we have PH S C in there and US F and I see President Hall sitting in the background, but We have a manufacturing program that the county supports and we would like to add that uh into this as well. Um as part of the um agreement and those are my those are my three issues and I'm much more comfortable with it now now that um this has all been explained.
- AR117Moffitt-Speros Economic Development Grant
Starkey Okay, and then the um the other uh item that I spoke to Mr. Carpenter about was, you know, it's my hope. I know we're we're making all these jobs and I and I spoke to David about this too and he said they don't really factor this in. I it it's not an issue when we do these contracts, but for me it is, is that if we're if we're asking for these you know, we're excited about these high paying jobs Um I like to see those people live here. I I I had this experience when I um first started working with All Children's Hospital back when they were putting up their satellite office in a satellite hospital or clinic in Pasco County and I was in charge of fundraising and I would there weren't many businesses back then in the early nineties that were here, so I started knocking on what businesses were here, car dealers. And whatever. And everyone said to me, Oh, we love all children's hospital. We donate down in in Saint Pete, you know, because we live down there. So I had a really hard time
- P77Conditional Use Request (Regular) – RR Sharp Properties LLC/813 Towing – Conditional Use for Towing Services and Storage of Vehicles in an C-2 General Commercial District – South Central Pasco County – East Side of Land O Lakes Boulevard Approximately 700 feet south of Cove Lake Place – Containing Approximately 0.62 Acre File Number PDD23-CU06
Starkey Yeah, I'm well I'm kinda feeling the same way. Um I actually texted our county administrator say Can we at least use some property on the the complex we have out by the jail? um because to me that seems like more of an appropriate place for this this kind of business. And frankly I think and you know, we just redid our landscape ordinance to say that um car dealers, vehicle storage and all that um, you know, used to have require a seventy five foot buffer, which isn't realistic. in a lot of places, but when we got rid of that then that opened the door for this and or the of the capability of this coming in and I too just Just don't think this is the right location. And um Is it a possibility of doing an in t a building where everything goes inside? Um that may be too expensive for this site. But I think um we we have a vision for forty one. that uh especially with Moffitt and and what we know was coming in That doesn't include a use like this in that area. But I do think we we need you. And You know, I hope I hope you can find another location and if we have the ability
