SO, I HAVE A QUESTION. ON THE AGENDA WE HAVE THE LETTER THAT SAYS, APPROVAL. WITH WE'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF CONCERN FROM THE CITIZENS. I KNOW COMMISSIONER COVEY HAS DONE A LOT OF WORK TO GET INFORMATION AND INFORM ALL OF THE CITIZENS WHO HAVE QUESTIONS. BUT ON THIS ITEM AND THE ONE NEXT TO IT THERE'S REALLY NO DETAILS AT ALL, OF WHAT'S BEING REIMBURSED I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THE FRUSTRATION I WOULD LIKE TO SEE GOING FORWARD. >> AT THIS POINT I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M REIMBURSING. >> IT SAYS REIMBURSING FOR EXPENSES BUT THERE'S NO INFORMATION IN MY PACKET THAT DEFINES EXACTLY WHAT'S REIMBURSED I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THE CITIZENS FRUSTRATION ON THE LACK OF, YOU CALL IT WHATEVER. IT IS JUST LACK OF INFORMATION. >> SO ALL OF THAT INFORMATION, JUDGE HAS BEEN PROVIDED THROUGH VARIOUS OPEN RECORDS REQUESTS. IT IS STILL ONGOING AND BEING AUDITED IT IS LENGTHY IT. HAS NEVER BEEN A PRACTICE FOR US TO ATTACH THAT DETAILED LEDGER. ANY MORE THAN WE ATTACHED A DETAILED INVOICE FOR EACH OF OUR ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. IF SOMEONE WANTS TO SEE THAT DETAILED INVOICE FROM ONE OF THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS FOR THE CITY, THEY MAKE AN OPEN RECORDS REQUEST. >> WHAT ABOUT THE COUNTY JUDGE DO I IMMEDIATE TO MAKE AN OPEN REQUEST? >> NO SIR. >> THEN CAN I GET THAT INFORMATION? >> YES, SIR. >> CAN YOU EXPLAIN, THIS IS THE SAME FOR ITEMS FOUR AND FIVE. THE AMOUNTS THAT ARE HERE, THOSE ARE HOW ARE WE PAYING THEM? IN OTHER WORDS THE BOND? >> SO THE PROCESS OF HOW THIS WORK IS, THERE ARE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS THAT DEFINE WHERE THE DISTRICTS ARE LOCATED. WHAT ROADWAYS OR TYPES OF ROADWAYS ARE ELIGIBLE. AND THEN THERE ARE STATE STATUTE THAT HELPS THAT DEFINITION AS WELL. WE HIRE A CONTRACTED ENGINEER, WHO ASSISTS MY TEAM IN REVIEWING ALL OF THESE INVOICES. BOTH TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY COMPLY FROM A STATE STATUTE PERSPECTIVE. FROM THE DEVELOPER AGREEMENT, PERSPECTIVE THAT WE HAVE PROOF OF PAYMENT AND PASS AN IRS AUDIT BECAUSE THEY COULD BE SUBJECT TO IRS AUDIT THEN WE GO ABOUT ISSUING BONDS IN THE CASE OF SUMMER SET 3, WE COMPLETED THAT REVIEW AND THAT AUDIT IN ITS ENTIRETY ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. WE ARE JUST ISSUING BONDS AS VALUE IS AVAILABLE IN ORDER TO [00:05:07] FINISH REIMBURSING THE DEVELOPER. >> THAT'S WHY IT IS TAKING SO LONG TO REIMBURSE IT IS THE VALUE IS NOT ON THE GROUND TO REIMBURSE. WE'RE DOING IT IN TRUDGE THREE'S, I BELIEVE IS ALMOST FINISHES. >> THERE'S A RECENT REQUEST FROM THE DEVELOPER TO DO A LITTLE BIT MORE WORK, POSSIBLY ON A, I'M NOT GOING TO. >> THANK YOU. >> COMMISSIONER I KNOW YOU AND I HAVE IS SPOKEN ABOUT IT. >> WE'RE LOOKING TO SEE IF THAT QUALIFIES TO BE REIMBURSED. >> THE CITY HAS TO REAPPROVE. >> THEY HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE CANINGS DONE. >> IN THE CASE OF DISTRICT FOUR, WE'RE IN THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW OF FINALIZING THAT REVIEW. BUT EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE REIMBURSED INCLUDING THIS REIMBURSEMENT HAS BEEN AUDITED TO THIS POINT. THERE WAS AN INVOICE IN ITEM 3 PAYING THE ENGINEER FOR THAT FINAL REVIEW OF EVERYTHING IN SOMERSET FOUR. AND WE ARE FINALIZING THOSE DOLLAR AMOUNTS. WE'RE PROBABLY STILL ANOTHER FOUR TO SIX YEARS IN PAYING OFF THE DEVELOPER FOR DISTRICT. >> ON FOUR? >> BUT IN THREE, WHEN I SAY ALMOST FINISHED I DON'T MEAN THE DEBT IS ALMOST PAID OFF. >> THE REIMBURSEMENT. THE REIMBURSEMENT AND EXCEPT FOR WHAT YOU JUST MENTIONED IN THREE, I BELIEVE THAT IN THREE AND FOUR, THE ROADS THAT WERE THAT WOULD QUALIFY FOR REIMBURSEMENT AND OTHER WORK THAT RELATES TO IT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED THAT RELATE REBECCA IN. >> THAT'S WHAT I'VE THEMING FOLKS IT IS BASICALLY DONE. WE'RE AUDITING REQUESTS FOR REIMBURSEMENTS. ONCE WE FIGURE THAT OUT. WE LOOK AT THE ASSESSED VALUE ON THE GROUND TO SEE IF IT WOULD SUPPORT THE DEBT IN ORDER TO REIMBURSE. >> FOR EXAMPLE IN THE CASE OF DISTRICT THREE, WE MAY NOT BE ISSUING DEBT NEXT YEAR VALUES MAY NOT ALLOW US TO DO SO. THERE'S A SMALL AMOUNT STILL DUE THAT DEVELOPER, OF WHAT'S BEEN AUDITED SO FAR. AND DEPENDING ON THISRINE NEED FOR SOME TURNING MOVEMENTS, BUT WE MAY TO BE YEARS OUT, BEFORE WE CAN FINALIZE DISTRICT 3, IN TERM OF ABLE TO ISSUE THAT. SO YEAH. IT IS A LENGTHY PROCESS. AND VERY INVOLVED PROCESS. BUT YES, JUDGE I HAVE THAT INFORMATION AVAILABLE AND HAPPY TO PROVIDE IT. >> I KNOW YOUR. >> I KNOW YOUR TEAM DOES AN EXCELLENT JOB. I KNOW EVERY PENNY SPENT WILL BE ACCOUNTED FOR ON THESE TWO ITEM TODAY THERE'S NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION FOR ME TO VOTE ON IT. I JUST DON'T HAVE THE INFORMATION. SO, I JUST CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THE FRUSTRATION WITH EVERYBODY NOT GETTING THE INFORMATION. WE NEED TO GET EVERYONE. >> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IT VERY, VERY CLEAR I HAVE ANSWERED NUMEROUS OPEN REQUESTS AND ALL INFORMATION HAS BEEN PROVIDED. >> OKAY. >> SO ON ITEMS NUMBER 4 AND 5 I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION AS A REMINDER NUMBER 4 TO APPROVE THE PAYMENT TO GTB DEVELOPMENT INCORPORATED FOR REIMBURSEMENT UP TO $1.220,000 AND 5 TO REIMBURSE THE PENALTIY GO UP FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES RELATED TO THE CONSTRUCTS OF ROADWAYS AND ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN SOMER SET DISTRICT 4 IN THE AMOUNT OF $4,325,000. >> TIME OUT NORMALLY JUDGE, WE HAVE A INLY MEETING FOR THE ROAD DISTRICT. WE CAN PUT IT ON FOR NEXT WEEK AND HAVE ANOTHER MEETING IF YOU WOULD FEEL BETTER ABOUT SEEING AND ABLE TO VOTE ON IT. BECAUSE I DON'T, WE'RE NOT RUSHING ANYTHING THROUGH HERE. JULIE, WE HAVE ANOTHER ITEM THAT I WANT TO GET ON THE AGENDA ANYWAY IN THE ROAD DISTRICT AGENDA. COULD WE PUT THIS' NEXT WEEK AND PAY THESE BILLS THEN. >> I NEED TO VISIT WITH YOU ABOUT WHAT THE OTHER ITEM IS, THE DEADLINE IS TONIGHT. >> WELL, WE'RE HERE IN A ROWED DISTRICT MEET FINGER THE COURT WANTS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE VOTE WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT. >> IF THERE'S, IF THERE'S THREE VOTES FOR T GREAT. IF NOT WE'LL MOVE IT TO NEXT WEEK THESE BILLS NEED TO BE PAID AND REIMBURSED IF SOMEONE FEELS THEY NEED TO LOOK AT THE DETAIL MORE THAT'S FINE. I WAS THROWING OUT ANOTHER OPTION. >> IS THAT A MOTION? >> I MOVE TO APPROVE 4 AND 5. >> IS THERE A SECOND? >> ALL IN FAVOR? >> ALL OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.
