MR. CHAIR, I HAVE NO FURTHER 
STEPS. 
>> A COUPLE PREAMBLE BEFORE WE 
KICK THIS OFF. 
IF YOU ARE THE LAST MEETING WE 
HAD, THERE WAS DISCUSSION ABOUT 
WHERE WE WERE WITH THE 
GOVERNORS ROLLOUT, WHAT ARE 
ANTICIPATED CHANGES WOULD BE, 
WHAT WAS COMING DOWN THE PIPE, 
AND THE CONSENSUS WAS AT THE 
TIME, AS LONG AS WE DID NOT 
MATERIALLY DEVIATE FROM THE 
GOVERNOR'S PLAN, THERE WAS NOT 
A NEED TO MEET. 
THERE HAS BEEN SOME INTEREST 
EXPRESSED IN MEETING. 
THE MINISTRY TO AND I BOTH 
TALKED ABOUT IT AND FELT LIKE 
WHAT WE HAVE IN PLACE IS NOT 
MATERIAL BUT AN EFFORT TO MEET 
AND EVERYBODY'S NEEDS, WE PUT 
THIS TOGETHER. 
WANT TO THANK STAFF FOR PUTTING 
THIS TOGETHER. 
I THINK EVERYBODY REALIZES 
THERE'S AN AWFUL LOT OF 
BACKGROUND WORK THAT GETS DONE 
BEFORE WE EVER SHOW UP FOR 
THESE MEETINGS. 
BECAUSE THIS IS A SINGLE TOPIC 
DISCUSSION TODAY, I AM NOT 
GOING TO ENTERTAIN DISCUSSIONS 
ABOUT OTHER THINGS, UNLESS WE 
GET THROUGH WITH THIS IN WHICH 
CASE I WILL OPEN IT UP AND GO 
AROUND AND DO COMMISSIONER 
COMMENTS. 
I'M GOING TO SAY WE'VE GOT 90 
MINUTES AND HAVE A HARD STOP. 
I WOULD ASK YOU KEEP YOUR 
COMMENTS BRIEF, AND THAT IS ALL 
I HAVE TO SAY, AND I WILL HEAD 
OVER TO THE COUNTY 
ADMINISTRATOR. 
THANK YOU ALL. 
BEFORE I GET TOO FAR, I HAVE TO 
TELL YOU, WE ARE CERTAINLY 
OPERATING IN EXTRAORDINARY 
TIMES. 
I WANT TO THANK THE STAFF, I 
WANT TO THANK MY PEERS FOR 
THEIR PATIENTS, I KNOW THIS HAS 
NOT BEEN SOMETHING MANY OF US 
EVER ANTICIPATED WORKING 
THROUGH. 
WE HAVE DONE EVERY EFFORT TO 
TRY AND ENGAGE THE PUBLIC, AS 
HAS BEEN FOR THE LAST COUPLE 
MEETINGS, NOT PERFECT. 
BUT WE CONTINUE TO TRY AND 
SOLICIT AS MUCH PUBLIC INPUT. 
I WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT AN 
HONOR IT IS TO WORK WITH ALL OF 
Y'ALL, BECAUSE TALKING WITH THE 
COUNTIES AROUND THE COUNTRY 
INSTEAD, I CAN TELL YOU NOT 
EVERYBODY HAS GOT IT WORKING AS 
WELL AS WE DO. 
NOT PERFECT, BUT WE SEEM TO 
HAVE A PRETTY GOOD HANDLE ON 
THE PAGE WITH THAT, MR. 
ADMINISTRATOR, IT'S ALL YOURS. 
>> INKY MR. CHAIRMAN, GOOD 
AFTERNOON COMMISSIONERS. 
BEFORE I BEGIN, LET ME JUST, A 
BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO THE ITEM 
THAT IS BEFORE YOU TODAY. 
I JUST WANTED TO START OFF BY 
ADVISING YOU AND LETTING YOU 
KNOW THAT WE RECEIVED 20 
COMMENTS AND WE HAVE 
DISTRIBUTED THOSE COMMENTS, AND 
POSTED THEM AND THEY WILL BE 
MADE AVAILABLE FOR THE PUBLIC 
RECORD. 
COMMISSIONERS, THE OBJECTIVE 
ITEM BEFORE YOU TODAY PROVIDES 
AN UPDATE AS THE CHAIRMAN SAID, 
ON PHASE TWO OF THE COUNTY'S 
REOPENING PLAN. 
AND IT SEEMS ANY ADDITIONAL 
KINDS THAT THE BOARD MAY DEEM 
APPROPRIATE OR NECESSARY AT 
THIS POINT IN TIME. 
AS YOU MAY RECALL, AS NOTED BY 
THE CHAIRMAN AFTER THE MAY 24 
SPECIAL MEETING, THE BOARD 
ELECTED BUILDING ON COVID-19 
RESPONSE  AN OPENING PLANS, 
WHICH PROVIDES FOR GRADUAL, 
PHASED-IN APPROACH FOR SAFETY 
REOPENING ARE COMMITTEES. 
THE COUNTY'S PLAN IS CONSISTENT 
WITH FEDERAL GUIDANCE, AS WELL 
AS THE GOVERNOR'S REOPENING 
PLAN FOR THE STATE. 
AT THAT MEETING, AGAIN, AS 
NOTED BY THE CHAIRMAN, A MOTION 
WAS APPROVED BY THE BOARD AND 
AUTHORIZED THE CHAIRMAN TO CALL 
A SPECIAL MEETING TO CONSIDER 
ANY ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE AS 
NECESSARY, AS I MENTIONED, IF 
SOMETHING CHANGED IN THE 
GOVERNOR'S EXECUTIVE ORDERS FOR 
FUTURE PHASES. 
LASTLY COMMISSIONERS, AS YOU 
ALL KNOW, THE GOVERNOR 
ANNOUNCED THE IMPLEMENTATION OF 
PHASE TWO OF THE REOPENING 
PLAN, WHICH BECAME EFFECTIVE ON 
FRIDAY, JUNE 5th. 
PHASE TWO CHANGES UNDER THE 
STATE PLAN WHICH I WILL 
HIGHLIGHT IN JUST A MOMENT, 
WORKING FOR CONSISTENT WITH THE 
REOPENING PLAN RECOMMENDED BY 
THE GOVERNOR'S TASK FORCE. 
AT THAT TIME, COMMISSIONERS, 
THE COUNTY ALSO IMPLEMENTED OUR 
PHASE TWO OPERATIONAL AND 
SERVICE CHANGES, WHICH WERE 
ALSO INCREMENTAL OVER PHASE ONE,
WHICH HAD BEEN IN PLACE PRIOR 
TO THAT TIME. 
AND HAS PROVIDED IN THE 
COUNTY'S REOPENING PLAN, AS A 
RESULT OF THE CHAIRMAN TODAY, 
AS I MENTIONED, AND AS HE 
MENTIONED, WAS NOT INITIALLY 
INTENDING TO CALL A SPECIAL 
MEETING DUE TO THE NATURE OF 
THE CHANGEABLE MINTED. 
HOWEVER, AGAIN, COMMISSIONERS 
EXPRESSED A DESIRE TO DISCUSS 
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PHASE TWO,
THE CHAIRMAN MADE THIS CALL FOR 
THIS MEETING TODAY. 
COMMISSIONERS DURING LAST 
WEEK'S PRESS CONFERENCE, THE 
GOVERNOR DISCUSSED THE STATE'S 
CONTINUED PROGRESS IN 
IMPLEMENTING ITS PLAN, 
SPECIFICALLY HE DISCUSSED THE 
STATES ACTIONS TO PROTECT THE 
MOST HONORABLE POPULATION, 
PARTICULARLY THOSE IN LONG-TERM 
CARE FACILITIES IN FLORIDA. 
HE NOTED THE STATEWIDE PROGRESS 
AND INCREASING TESTING, 
INCLUDING THE DEPLOYMENT OF 
WALKUP TESTING SITES, TO ENSURE 
ACCESS TO UNDERSERVED 
COMMUNITIES. 
HE NOTED THE CONTINUED DECLINE 
IN PUBLIC HEALTH CRITERIA, SUCH 
AS NEW CASES, COVID LIKE 
SYMPTOMS, TEST POSITIVITY 
RATES, IN THE 64 COUNTIES THAT 
WERE PART OF THE INITIAL  PHASE 
ONE REOPENING, THIS IS ALL 
INCLUDED IN THE PRESENTATION 
THAT THE GOVERNOR DELIVERED AT 
LAST WEEK'S PRESS CONFERENCE, 
WHICH I PROVIDED TO YOU, AND 
COMMISSIONERS, IT'S ALSO 
ATTACHED TO THIS AGENDA ITEM 
BEFORE YOU TODAY. 
BASED ON THIS DATA, THE 
GOVERNOR ISSUED EXECUTIVE ORDER 
20 - 139, INITIATING PHASE TWO 
OF THE STAGED REOPENING PLAN. 
AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, PHASE 
TWO  CHANGES WORKING FOR 
MENTAL, OVER PHASE ONE, FULL 
PHASE ONE, AND WILL REFLECT 
STRATEGY OUTLINED IN THE STATES 
PLAN FOR A GRADUAL REOPENING OF 
THE ECONOMY. 
FOR EXAMPLE, GATHERINGS IN 
PUBLIC PLACES UNDER PHASE TWO 
CAN NOW GO FROM 10 PEOPLE TO 50 
PEOPLE. 
RETAIL BUSINESSES, GEMS, 
FITNESS CENTERS, CAN GO FROM 
50% TO 100% CAPACITY. 
RESTAURANTS WILL REMAIN AT 50% 
OF CAPACITY OF INDOOR SPACES. 
AND PROVIDE BAR TOP SERVICE NOW 
IN PHASE TWO. 
BARS AND PUBS CAN REOPEN AT 50% 
OF INDOOR CAPACITY, WITH 100% 
CAPACITY IN THE AREAS, AND 
ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESSES LIKE 
MOVIE THEATERS AND MAY OPEN A 
50% CAPACITY. 
THAT'S FOR THE STATE. FOR THE 
54 COUNTIES UNDER THIS ORDER, 
CORRESPONDINGLY COMMISSIONERS, 
BASED ON THE LOCAL REOPENING 
PLAN, THE COUNTY MADE 
INCREMENTAL CHANGES TO PROGRAMS 
AND SERVICES BECOME EFFECTIVE 
WITH THE STATE'S IMPLEMENTATION 
OF PHASE TWO THIS PAST FRIDAY. 
OF THOSE INCLUDED, 
COMMISSIONERS, AS YOU KNOW, 
REOPENING THE LIBRARY 
FACILITIES AT 50% CAPACITY 
THAT'S THE DOWNTOWN BRANCH AND 
ALL OF OUR BRANCH LIBRARIES, 
WHILE I SHOULD'VE CONTINUING 
ALL OF OUR CURBSIDE PICKUP AND 
DROP OF SERVICES THAT ARE BEING 
PROVIDED AND WERE PROVIDED 
UNDER PHASE ONE, THOSE ARE 
CONTINUING IN PHASE TWO, AND 
THAT ALL OF OUR BRANCH LIBRARY 
FOR THE REOPENING OF THE COUNTS 
DOG PARKS OCCURS IN PHASE TWO, 
AND BEGIN ON FRIDAY. 
AND RESUMING, IN PERSON 
OPERATIONS IN SEVERAL OF OUR 
COUNTY OFFICES INCLUDING 
DEVELOPMENT, SUPPORT 
ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT, 
DETENTION ALTERNATIVES, VETERAN 
SERVICES, HOUSING AND SERVICES, 
JUST TO NAME A FEW. 
THE COUNTY HAS ALSO PROACTIVELY 
TAKEN STEPS, TO ENSURE THE 
HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC 
AND OUR STAFF IN ANTICIPATION 
OF REOPENING. 
WE HAVE PROVIDED IN OUR LOCAL, 
AS PROVIDED IN OUR LOCAL 
REOPENING PLAN, WE HAVE LIMITED 
DAILY TEMPERATURE CHECKS AND 
SCREENINGS WERE EMPLOYEES ON 
RETURNING TO WORK. 
WE HAVE ALSO INSTALLED PHYSICAL 
BARRIERS AND FACILITIES WHERE 
CLOSE PHYSICAL INTERACTION MAY 
OCCUR. 
WE HAVE ALSO ARRANGED GATHERING 
SPACES TO LIMIT TRANSMISSION 
FROM COVID-19. 
IN ADDITION COMMISSIONERS, THE 
PLAN ENCOURAGES ALL CITIZENS TO 
WEAR FACEMASKS  IN PUBLIC, AND 
WHEN IN PUBLIC, AND UNABLE TO 
SOCIALLY DISTANCE, INCLUDING 
COUNTY FACILITIES. 
IN ADDITION, A SITUATION WHERE 
A CITIZEN OR COUNTY EMPLOYEE 
ARE UNABLE TO RETAIN PHYSICAL 
DISTANCE, BOTH THE STAFF AND 
THE CITIZEN WOULD WEAR A FACE 
MASK IN COUNTY FACILITIES, IN 
THOSE SITUATIONS, AND THE 
COUNTY WILL PROVIDE A MASK FOR 
THAT SITUATION, IF THE CITIZEN 
DOES NOT HAVE ONE. 
FINALLY COMMISSIONERS, AS YOU 
KNOW, AND THE AGENDA ITEM, 
WHILE DOG PARKS HAVE REOPENED, 
UNDER PHASE TWO, AS FACILITIES 
REMAIN CLOSED TO ORGANIZED TEAM 
ACTIVITIES, AND ARE SCHEDULED 
TO REOPEN IN PHASE THREE. 
THIS, COMMISSIONERS, IS BASED ON
CDC GUIDANCE, AND I KNOW WE'VE 
RECEIVED SEVERAL COMMENTS ABOUT 
THIS. 
CDC GUIDANCE PROVIDES THAT 
ORGANIZED SPORTS ACTIVITIES ARE 
NOT WHICH IS STILL IN THIS CASE 
IN PHASE TWO. 
HOWEVER, AS NOTED IN THE ITEM, 
THE CDC GUIDANCE ALSO STATES 
THAT PRACTICE-BASED ACTIVITIES, 
CARRY A LOWER RISK OF 
TRANSMISSION. 
I POINT THAT OUT, 
COMMISSIONERS, I POINTED OUT TO 
YOU AGAIN JUST -- AND 
COMMISSIONERS, WE HAVE STAFF ON 
HAND TODAY TO PROVIDE 
ADDITIONAL DETAILS ABOUT ANSWER 
QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT 
REOPENING COUNTY SERVICES AND 
FACILITIES AROUND THE COUNTY. 
AND BEFORE I CLOSE, 
COMMISSIONERS, I WANTED TO TAKE 
JUST A MOMENT TO TALK ABOUT THE 
INCREASE IN NEW COVID-19 CASES 
OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS, WHICH 
I'M SURE  MANY OF YOU HEARD 
ABOUT. AS YOU MAY HAVE SEEN 
REPORTED IN THE NEWS, BEFORE 
OUR DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH HAS 
REPORTED APPROXIMATELY 1000 NEW 
CASES BASED STATEWIDE, OVER THE 
PASSABLE DAYS. 
THAT WAS COMPARED TO 
APPROXIMATELY 700 CASES A DAY, 
IMMEDIATELY PRIOR. 
IN LEON COUNTY, NEW CASES 
REMAIN LOW. 
ON AVERAGE, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED 
ABOUT FOUR NEW CASES PER DAY, 
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF JUNE. 
THAT'S COMPARED TO 
APPROXIMATELY SIX NEW CASES IN 
MAY. 
IT DOES REPRESENT A DOWNWARD 
TREND. 
THE INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF 
NEW CASES STATEWIDE, 
COMMISSIONERS, IS A TREATABLE 23
THINGS THAT WE ARE ALL VERY 
AWARE OF, WE ARE ABOUT TWO 
WEEKS REMOVED FROM A MORAL DAY 
WEEKEND. 
WHERE MANY PEOPLE CONGREGATE TO 
CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAY. 
WE ARE ALSO ABOUT THREE WEEKS 
INTO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF 
PHASE ONE, REOPENING STATEWIDE. 
AND FINALLY, AS I MENTIONED A 
MOMENT AGO, THE NUMBER OF TEST 
ADMINISTERED THROUGHOUT THE 
STATES HAS GROWN SIGNIFICANTLY, 
OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. 
ALL OF THESE, I'M SURE, WE CAN 
SAY WITH SOME LEVEL OF 
CONFIDENCE HAVE PLAYED 
PROMINENTLY INTO THE NEW CASES. 
HOWEVER, THE STATEWIDE 
POSITIVITY RATE REMAINS AROUND 
3.5%, THAT'S WELL BELOW THE 
RATE IT WAS IN PHASE ONE, WHEN 
THAT WAS ABOUT 6%. 
GIVEN THE RECENT GATHERINGS IN 
OUR COMMUNITY AND ALL OVER THE 
COUNTRY FOR THAT MATTER, I 
BELIEVE WE CAN EXPECT TO SEE 
CONTINUED INCREASES IN THE 
NUMBER OF NEW CASES IN THE NEAR 
FUTURE. 
BUT WITH THAT SAID, WE CONTINUE 
TO HAVE ADEQUATE HOSPITAL 
CAPACITY TO ADDRESS ANY SEARCH 
AND HEALTHCARE NEEDS HERE IN 
OUR COMMUNITY, AND WE CAN DO TO 
EXPAND OUR CAPACITY FOR TESTING 
AND CONTACT TRACING. 
COMMISSIONERS, I SAY IN ALL 
THIS, AND OF COURSE, THE REAL 
RESIDENT EXPERT MARTY BLACKBURN 
IS ALSO AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT 
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT 
HAVE ON ANY THIS AND PROVIDE 
ADDITIONAL DETAILS FOR 
ANSWERING QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT 
HAVE, IN CLOSING, THE COUNTY'S 
PHASE TWO REOPENING CONTINUES 
TO GRADUALLY RESTORE COUNTY 
SERVICES AND FACILITIES FOR 
PUBLIC USE WHILE REMAINING 
CONSISTENT WITH THE INCREMENTAL 
CHANGES MADE BY THE GOVERNOR. 
WITH THAT SAID, THE BOARD HAS 
THE FLEXIBILITY TO MODIFY ANY 
PORTIONS OF THE COUNTY PHASE 
TWO PLAN, AND I WOULD WELCOME 
ANY ADDITIONAL POLICY DIRECTION 
YOU MAY WISH TO PROVIDE TODAY. 
SHOULD THE BOARD DO THAT, 
SHOULD YOU WISH TO MAKE ANY 
MODIFICATIONS AT THIS TIME, WE 
WILL UPDATE OUR PLAN IN 
ANTICIPATION OF SHARING THAT 
UPDATED VERSION WITH THE 
COMMUNITY TO REFLECT ANY SUCH 
CHANGES. 
WITH THAT, MR. CHAIRMAN, I WILL 
HEAD BACK TO YOU AND I'M HAPPY 
TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND 
WELCOME YOUR DIRECTION. 
THANK YOU. 
>> SHE, DO WE HAVE, NOW IS THE 
CHANCE. 
>> MR. CHAIR. 
>> YES SIR, COMMISSIONER 
MADDOX. 
I CANNOT MAKE A MOTION FOR 
OPTION NUMBER ONE? 
>> WE HAVE A MOTION FOR OPTION 
NUMBER ONE. 
IS THERE A SECOND? 
I THINK EVERYBODY IS ON MUTE. 
IS THERE A SECOND? 
>> MR. CHAIR? 
>> YES? 
COMMISSIONER DOZIER? 
>> I THINK EXCEPTING THE REPORT 
IS JUST FINE. 
I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SOME 
DISCUSSION ABOUT ANY ADDITIONAL 
DIRECTION BEFORE I SECOND THAT 
MOTION, BECAUSE I THINK UNLESS 
YOU WANT TO SEPARATE OPTION ONE 
AND OPTION TWO, YOU KNOW, THE 
MOTION MAY NOT HAVE ANY 
ADDITIONAL DIRECTION, 
COMMISSIONER MADDOX. 
I CAN'T SECOND IT UNTIL WE GET 
THROUGH THE DISCUSSION. 
>> OKAY. 
I TEND TO AGREE WITH YOU, 
COMMISSIONER DOZIER. 
I'M OKAY WITH THE REPORT, BUT 
WE ARE HERE TO SEE WHAT ELSE 
MIGHT BE OUT THERE. 
WHO WAS UP, COMMISSIONER MINOR? 
>> THANK YOU MR. CHAIR. 
I WAS HOPING TO HAVE MISS 
BLACKBURN PROVIDE A QUICK 
OVERVIEW OF THE TESTING THAT'S 
BEEN TAKING PLACE IN LEON 
COUNTY OVER THE LAST TWO OR 
THREE WEEKS. 
I'M LOOKING AT THE DASHBOARD 
NOW, AND OUR RATE IS QUITE LOW 
RELATIVE TO THE REST OF THE 
STATE. 
BUT I DO KNOW THIS FROM BEING 
AT FRIED STADIUM THAT SOME OF 
THE TESTING HAS GONE, THE 
NUMBER OF TEST ADMINISTERED HAS 
DECLINED. 
I WANT TO HEAR FROM US 
BLACKBURN SEE IF SHE CAN 
PROVIDE MORE INSIGHT ON THE 
AMOUNT OF TESTING OVER THE LAST 
TWO OR THREE WEEKS. 
>> THAT'S WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR. 
CLAUDIA? 
>> I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT 
NUMBERS IN FRONT OF ME, BUT I 
CAN TELL YOU WE HAVE NOW TESTED 
OVER 6% OF THE POPULATION IN 
LEON COUNTY. 
AND DEMAND FOR TESTING HAS 
DECREASED. 
WE ARE SOME DAYS NOT HEADING TO 
HUNDRED, AND WE CAN DO UP TO 
400. 
PART OF THAT HAS BEEN THE 
WEATHER. 
WE ARE INTO OUR SUMMER MONTHS, 
SO WHEN IT RAINS, WE HAVE 
LIGHTNING. 
WE HAVE TO CLOSE DOWN COUSIN OF 
LIGHTNING. 
THAT HAS AFFECTED THE NUMBERS. 
AND I THINK THERE IS A LITTLE 
BIT LESS DEMAND THAN THERE WAS 
BEFORE, BUT IT'S HARD TO KNOW 
WHETHER IT'S WARM WEATHER 
RELATED OR IT'S MORE DEMAND 
RELATED. 
PROBABLY A COMBINATION OF BOTH. 
THAT SAID, WE ARE STILL TESTING 
A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF PEOPLE. 
OUR GOAL IN JUNE IS TO TEST 2% 
OF THE POPULATION, WE TESTED AT 
LEAST 1% SO FAR. 
AND IT'S NOT JUST BRAG, IT'S 
MANY DIFFERENT PLACES IN TOWN 
ARE TESTING THERE. 
LOOKING AT THAT, OUR POSITIVITY 
RATE FOR THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS 
HAS BEEN A LOW 2%, VERY LOW. 
AND OUR CASES ARE DECREASING. 
WHEN WE LOOK AT WHEN PEOPLE 
BECAME SICK, AND OUR CURVE, IT 
IS DECREASING. 
WE WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH THAT 
CLOSELY. 
EVERY SO OFTEN, YOU WILL HEAR 
WE'VE GOT 20 CASES. 
PART OF THAT IS THAT WE GET A 
LOT OF LAB RESULTS AT ONE TIME. 
SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE'VE GOT A 
BIG SPIKE, BUT IT'S REALLY THAT 
WE ARE JUST GETTING A LOT OF 
LAB RESULTS AT ONE TIME. 
AND IF YOU LOOK AT WHEN THE 
PEOPLE BECAME SICK, IT'S NOT 
REALLY A SPIKE. 
ALSO, WE FIND A LOT OF TIMES OF 
THOSE CASES ARE NOT OURS, THEY 
ARE FROM ANOTHER COUNTY OR OUT 
OF STATE, SO YOU WILL SEE OUR 
NUMBERS CHANGE SOMETIMES FROM 
DAY TODAY. 
IT'S BECAUSE THOSE CASES ARE 
BEING ADJUSTED. 
>> THANK YOU AREA ESTHER CHAIR? 
THANK YOU. 
MISS BLACKBURN, YOU SAID JUST 
OVER 6% OF THE POPULAR HAVE 
BEEN TESTED IN LEON COUNTY. 
THAT'S WITH THE DUPLICATES 
REMOVED, RIGHT? 
CAN YOU TALK ABOUT HOW MANY 
PEOPLE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE TESTS 
CONDUCTED? 
>> THAT IS ANOTHER NUMBER, AND 
I DON'T HAVE IT AT MY 
FINGERTIPS. 
I CAN TRY TO GET THAT FOR YOU. 
>> IS MORE THAN 6% WITH 
DUPLICATES REMOVED, RIGHT? 
>> CORRECTS, THOSE ARE UNIQUE 
TESTS, DUPLICATES REMOVED. 
>> OKAY, THANK YOU. 
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. 
>> ABSOLUTELY. 
COMMISSIONERS, I WILL JUMP IN 
HERE. 
I KNOW MANY OF YOU HAVE 
RECEIVED EMAILS AND CALLS AND 
TEXTS RELATIVE TO BALLFIELDS, 
AND SPECIFICALLY USING SPORTING 
AREAS AROUND, I HAVE CERTAINLY 
ENTERTAINED THE DISCUSSION. 
COMMISSIONER DOZIER, I'M SORRY, 
I DO NOT SEE HER HAND UP THERE. 
I WOULD ENTERTAIN A DISCUSSION 
ALONG THE LINES, WOULD LOVE TO 
HEAR MORE ABOUT THAT. 
COMMISSIONER DOZIER? 
>> MR. CHAIR, THESE KEEP GOING 
WITH YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT 
SPORTS. 
I RAISED MY HAND AFTER YOU 
STARTED. 
>> OKAY. 
I KNOW LEE IS IN THE WINGS, AM 
I RIGHT? 
I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR WHAT HER 
THOUGHTS WOULD BE, WHAT WE 
COULD DO OR WHAT MIGHT BE 
APPROPRIATE WITHIN THE REALMS 
OF WHAT WE ARE ALLOWED TO DO, 
IF THAT'S OKAY? 
HALEY, HOW ARE YOU? 
>> GOOD AFTERNOON 
COMMISSIONERS, HOW ARE YOU? 
JUST TO ADDRESS YOUR QUESTION, 
MR. CHAIRMAN, WE ARE KEEPING 
CLOSE TABS WITH THE PARKS AND 
REC ASSOCIATION AND SEEING WHAT 
OUR COLLEAGUES ARE DOING ACROSS 
THE STATE. 
AS THE AGENDA ITEM MENTIONED, 
DEFINITELY THERE ARE SOME 
COMMUNITIES IN FLORIDA THAT 
HAVE BEGUN TO REOPEN THEIR 
PROGRAMS, BOTH FOR PRACTICES 
AND FOR COMPETITION. 
AS THE COUNTY IN MAINSTREET ARE 
INDICATED, WE HAVE BEEN PAYING 
VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE 
GUIDELINES AND VARIOUS LEVELS 
OF RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUTH 
SPORTS AND ATHLETICS. 
AS THE COUNTY MISTREAT OR 
MENTION, IF YOU ENGAGE IN TEAM-
BASED PRACTICES, THAT IS 
CERTAINLY AT A LOWER RISK THAN 
OPENING IT TO FULL COMPETITION, 
EITHER BETWEEN TEAMS FROM THE 
SAME LOCAL GEOGRAPHIC AREA AND 
OF COURSE, THE HIGHEST RISK 
WOULD BE FULL COMPETITION 
BETWEEN TEAMS FROM DIFFERENT 
GEOGRAPHIC AREAS. 
TYPICALLY, IN THE RISK CATEGORY 
IS WE DON'T, AS LEON COUNTY, WE 
DON'T HAVE A LOT OF ANY TRAVEL 
LAW PROGRAMS HERE IN OUR COUNTY.
IN TERMS OF US HOSTING THOSE 
TRAVEL TEAMS. 
WE DO HAVE TEAMS AT THE COUNTY, 
BUT THEY ARE TYPICALLY PLAYING 
IN OTHER LOCATIONS, AND THAT'S 
OKAY. 
THE OTHER THING I WOULD SHARE 
WITH THE BOARD IS THAT LITTLE 
LEAGUE HAS DEVELOPED SOME WELL-
ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES FOR 
RESUMING PRACTICES, AND 
COMPETITIONS. 
BUT, AS THE ADMINISTRATOR HAS 
LAID OUT FOR YOU IN HIS 
COMMENTS, WE HAVE BEEN 
SPECIFICALLY LOOKING AT KEEPING 
THESE CROWDS UNDER 50, AND SO, 
I THINK PRACTICES, FULL TEAM 
PRACTICES WOULD CERTAINLY BE 
APPROPRIATE IN KEEPING WITH 
THOSE GUIDELINES FOR THE UNDER 
50. 
ONCE YOU START DOING 
COMPETITIONS, AND YOU HAVE 
GRANDPARENTS AND COACHES AND 
TWO TEAMS, AND TEAMS 
TRANSITIONING BETWEEN GAMES, 
THAT'S WHEN YOU REALLY START 
INCREASING THOSE NUMBERS. 
AND MAKING SOCIAL DISTANCING 
MORE CHALLENGING AND 
COMPLICATED TO KEEP THE LOW 
ACTIVITY NUMBER. 
>> OKAY. 
LET ME ASK A QUICK QUESTION. 
WHEN IS THE NEXT ANTICIPATED 
PHASE, HAS THE GOVERNOR GIVEN 
US ANY INDICATION? 
DAYS, WEEKS? 
>> NO, HE DOESN'T TELEGRAPH 
THOSE. 
THEY TEND TO BE TWO OR THREE 
WEEKS. 
THERE'S NO WAY OF TELLING. 
>> OKAY. 
COMMISSIONER JACKSON, YOU WANT 
TO WEIGH IN ON THIS? 
>> YEAH. 
GREAT INFORMATION, AND THANK 
YOU, LEE, AND CLAUDIA, AND MR. 
ADMINISTRATOR, AS WELL. 
I MAY HAVE MISSED THAT PART, 
BUT DID YOU MENTION OPENING OF 
PLAYGROUNDS? 
BECAUSE THE FIELD THEY HAVE 
BEEN DISCUSSING ARE ADJACENT TO 
PLAYGROUND AREAS. 
DID YOU MENTION THAT, DID I 
MISS THAT? 
>> I DON'T THINK WE HAVE 
MENTIONED PLAYGROUNDS. 
I THINK THE CDC STILL HAS 
GUIDANCE, RELATIVE TO 
PLAYGROUNDS. 
THAT WOULD WHEN YOU ARE IN 
THEE PHASES, THAT IS 
RECOMMENDING SOCIAL DISTANCING, 
WHICH THIS PHASE DOES, THAT 
PLAYGROUNDS WOULD BE SOMETHING 
THAT WOULD NOT BE ADVISABLE TO 
OPEN DURING THAT PHASE. 
>> YEAH. 
I AM OF THE PRACTICE, I PROMISE 
I WILL LET YOU GO IN JUST A 
SECOND, COMMISSIONER LINDLEY. 
I WOULD THINK THE WAY THAT LEE 
EXPLAINED IN THE WEE THAT WAS 
DISCUSSED WOULD DEFINITELY BE 
SOMETHING THAT WE COULD LOOK AT 
AS A BODY, REGARDING 
PRACTICING, BUT AGAIN, I WOULD 
HATE TO BE THE COMMISSIONER 
DECIDES TO GO BACK TO EARLY, 
AND WE HAVE 13 FIVE-YEAR-OLD IN 
A DUGOUT, ALONG WITH LIKE SHE 
MENTIONED, COULD REACH UP TO 
CROWDS OF 100 OR MORE GAMES ON 
A PARTICULAR WEEKNIGHT OR 
WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE. 
THAT'S MY TWO CENTS BUT I'M 
INTERESTED IN HEARING WHAT 
OTHERS HAVE TO SAY. 
GO AHEAD, MR. CHAIR. 
>> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER 
JACKSON. 
I'VE GOT COMMISSIONER LINDLEY 
AND COMMISSIONER DOZIER, YOU'RE 
UP-AND-DOWN. 
I WILL PUT YOU IN AFTER 
LINDLEY. 
IF THAT'S OKAY? 
OKAY, THANK YOU. 
COMMISSIONER LINDLEY.  
>> I'M INTERESTED IN THE 
POSSIBILITY OF GETTING BACK 
INTO TEAM PRACTICE AND I THINK 
THE COLLET SKILLS BUILDING AND 
SO FORTH. 
I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE HARD 
AND WE NEED TO TRY HARD IF WE 
GO THIS DIRECTION TO GET A REAL 
CLEAR CONSENSUS AND BUY-IN FROM 
THE PARENTS. 
AT THE RISK OF KILLING ANY 
CREDIBILITY I HAVE, WHEN I HEAR 
PARENTS SAY THEY KNOW WHAT'S 
BEST FOR THEIR CHILDREN, I 
DON'T REALLY THINK THAT'S 
ALWAYS TRUE. 
I KNOW A LOT OF PARENTS ARE 
READY TO GET THEIR CHILDREN OUT 
AND ABOUT AND ON THESE FIELDS. 
WITH THE CDC GUIDELINES, EVEN 
IF IT'S AT THAT LEVEL OF 
PRACTICE AND SKILLS BUILDING 
RECOMMENDS A LOT OF THINGS THAT 
WOULD BE INTERESTING AND 
DIFFICULT TO ENFORCE WITHOUT 
PARENTS BEING ALL IN. 
NO SHARING OF BATS OR HELMETS 
OR BALL GLOVES. 
NO KEEPING THEIR RESTROOMS AND 
WATER FOUNTAINS THERE, YOU 
DON'T USE THEM, THEIR PUBLIC 
FOUNTAINS, KEEPING THE SPACE 
BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS, SIX FEET 
OR SO. 
NO HIGH-FIVES, NO FIST BUMPS, 
NONE OF THAT. 
SO, I MEAN YOU ARE REALLY 
RATCHETING DOWN EVEN THE 
PRACTICE, IT'S GOING TO TAKE A 
LOT ON THE PART OF THE PARENTS, 
WHO I THINK SEEM TO BE THE ONES 
WHO WANT THIS POSSIBLY MORE 
THAN THE CHILDREN. 
HOW DO WE DO THIS? 
DO WE SEND LETTERS TO ALL THE 
PARENTS? 
AND SAY HERE ARE YOUR 
RESPONSIBILITIES? 
OR WHAT EVER. 
I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS 
WE REALLY NEED TO BE SPECIFIC 
ABOUT, SO THERE'S A CLEAR 
CONSENSUS ON WHAT ALL IT 
INCLUDES, NOT JUST A FREE-FOR-
ALL TO GO OUT THERE AND KNOCK 
AROUND THE BALL, WITH UP TO 50 
PEOPLE AT A TIME. 
KIND OF THINGS WE NEED TO THINK 
ABOUT, MAKING SURE THE PARENTS 
UNDERSTAND. 
AND AGREE WITH. 
>> OKAY. 
THANK YOU. 
LEE, DO YOU WANT TO WEIGH IN ON 
THAT A LITTLE BIT, HAVE WE 
GIVEN SOME THOUGHT TO IF WE GET 
ON THIS PATH, HOW YOU MIGHT 
COMMUNICATE THAT OUT? 
>> LET ME START WE CAN CHIME IN 
ON THIS, AS WELL. 
AS SHE SAYS, SHE IS VERY CLOSE 
TO ALL OF THE PARTNERS FROM 
AROUND THE STATE. 
AND THAT SORT OF THING. 
AGAIN, YES. 
IF THE BOARD DECIDES THAT 
PRACTICES SOMETHING THAT YOU 
LIKE TO GIVE US THE DIRECTION 
TO BEGIN IN PHASE TWO, WE CAN 
CERTAINLY DO THAT FROM THE 
STANDPOINT OF MANAGING THE 
NUMBERS. 
BUT WE ALL HAVE TO GO INTO IT, 
JUST UNDERSTANDING WHAT 
COMMISSIONER LINDLEY SAID AND 
WE WILL COMMUNICATE TO PARENTS. 
WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MITIGATE 
ALL OF THE RISK OF TRANSMISSION 
DURING THESE PRACTICES. 
WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACTIVELY 
MANAGE THIS, WE DON'T NOT 
MANAGE AN ACTIVE ARTS AND 
RECREATION PROGRAM. 
FROM AN ACTIVE STANDPOINT, WE 
WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MANAGE ON-
SITE RELATIVE TO THE SPORTS 
PROGRAM. 
WE COMMUNICATE WITH THE 
PARENTS? 
ABSOLUTELY. 
BUT WE SHOULD NOT ASSUME THAT 
THAT WILL PREVENT IT TO THE 
EXTENT THAT MAYBE WE DO THE 
RISK OF TRANSMISSION. 
WE JUST NEED TO KNOW THAT GOING 
INTO IT, AND WANT TO GIVE US 
THAT DIRECTION, WE CAN 
IMPLEMENT THE PRACTICE. 
>> HAS THE CITY SIGNALED ANY 
INDICATION ABOUT WHAT THEIR 
PLANS ARE? 
>> NOT JUST YET. 
THEIR POSITION ON THIS IS THAT 
THE ACTIVE SPORTS FIELDS ARE 
CLOSED THIS SUMMER. 
>> OKAY. 
OKAY. 
I'M SORRY, COMMISSIONER DOZIER, 
YOU WAITED PATIENTLY. 
I APOLOGIZE FOR HOLDING YOU UP. 
>> YOU DID NOT HOLD ME UP, MR. 
CHAIR. 
THANK YOU. 
GOOD DISCUSSION, AND I WILL 
TAKE SOME DIRECTION FROM YOU 
MR. CHAIR. 
WE COULD FOCUS ON NEW SPORTS AT 
THIS POINT AND GET TO A COUPLE 
OTHER ISSUES, OR I COULD 
MENTION THOSE ISSUES ALL AT ONE 
TIME HERE. 
I THINK THIS DISCUSSION ABOUT 
YOUTH SPORTS IS GOOD. 
I REALLY HAVE TO SAY, I AGREE 
WITH COMMISSIONER JACKSON AND 
LINDLEY, AND YOUR COMMENT, MR. 
CHAIR. 
THAT THIS IS A DIFFICULT ONE. 
WE WANT TO SEE KIDS GET OUT AND 
PLAY, THAT HAD A ROUGHLY MONTHS 
LIKE THE REST OF US. 
AND GOING INTO A VERY LONG, 
HOT, SUMMER, I UNDERSTAND WHY 
PARENTS ARE WANTING THEIR KIDS 
TO GET BACK OUT AND TO HAVE 
THAT TEAM ACTIVITY. 
I DO WANT TO SAY UPFRONT THAT I 
THINK THERE'S A LOT OF 
CONFUSION RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE 
THE GOVERNOR'S EXECUTIVE ORDER 
ON MAY 22nd THAT FOCUSED ON 
YOUTH SPORTS CAME IN THE MIDDLE 
OF PHASE ONE. 
SO, EVEN THOUGH HE ALLOWED 
YOUTH SPORTS TO REACTIVATE, OR 
TO RESTART, WE WERE STILL UNDER 
THE GUIDELINES FROM HIS 
PREVIOUS EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT 
WE COULD NOT HAVE GROUPS OF 10 
OR MORE. 
SO, I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT, 
SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE 
WITH CONSTITUENTS AND OTHERS 
THAT EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE THAT 
EXECUTIVE ORDER, WE ARE GETTING 
DIFFERENT MESSAGES HERE, FROM 
MY PERSPECTIVE. 
AND WITH GROUPS OF 50 OR MORE, 
I HAVE READ THE CDC GUIDELINES 
ON YOUTH SPORTS, AND THE COUNTY 
ADMINISTRATOR, AND LEE HAD SAID 
THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT 
ISSUES THAT COULD BE REALLY 
CHALLENGING. 
IN ADDITION TO WHAT YOU ALL 
HAVE SAID, THE SHARED EQUIPMENT 
I'M NOT SURE WE EVER HAVE 10 OR 
LESS AND A DUGOUT, 50 OR LESS 
SEEMS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR 
LITTLE LEAGUE GAMES, OUT IN 
CHAIRS OR OTHER PLACES. 
I ACTUALLY WONDERED IF THERE 
WAS AN ISSUE WITH WEARING 
FACEMASKS IN THE SUMMER HEAT, 
THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER 
QESTIONS THAT COULD COME UP 
WHEN WE START DIGGING INTO THIS.
I DID PICK UP A NOTE AND HERE'S 
A QUESTION FOR YOU, MR. COUNTY 
ADMINISTRATOR, OR PERHAPS FOR 
LEAVE FROM THE CDC DOCUMENT. 
IT SAID THEY WOULD POSTPONE OR 
CANCEL YOU SPORTS UNTIL PUBLIC 
HEALTH OFFICIALS COORDINATED 
WITH USE ORGANIZERS, AND I WAS 
WONDERING IF THAT SOMETHING 
THAT WE HAVE STARTED TO IMPACT 
OR IF OTHER COMMUNITIES ARE 
DOING THIS, UNDERSTANDING THE 
RISK CANNOT BE ZERO, IF WE 
ALLOW THESE FACILITIES TO OPEN 
OR EVEN FOR PRACTICE. 
HAS ANYONE STARTED TALKING ABOUT
HAVING A PLAN FROM THE LITTLE 
LEAGUE TEAMS OR OTHERS THAT 
SHOWS WHAT THEY INTEND TO DO, 
HOW THEY WILL MANAGE THEMSELVES?
>> YEAH, THANK YOU 
COMMISSIONER. 
I WILL LET LEE ANSWER THAT 
BECAUSE, AS YOU ALL KNOW, THERE 
ARE DIFFERENT ORGANIZERS FOR 
LEASE, AND SOME ARE TAKEN 
DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO THAT, 
AND LEE HAS BEEN WORKING VERY 
ACTIVELY WITH THEM ON THIS SO I 
WILL LET LEE RESPOND TO THAT 
PERIOD THANK YOU, MR. 
ADMINISTRATOR. 
AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, LITTLE 
LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL DOES HAVE A
WELL ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES FOR 
THOSE THINGS THAT COMMISSIONER 
LINDLEY MENTIONED ABOUT SHARING 
EQUIPMENT. IT REINFORCES THE 
IDEA OF HAND SANITIZER AND ALSO 
TALKS ABOUT WERE UMPIRES MIGHT 
EVEN STAND, BEHIND THE PICTURE 
OR SIX FEET BEHIND THE BATTER, 
THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. 
IT GOES ON TO ADDRESS NOT 
OPENING CONCESSION STANDS, NOT 
SHARING WATER BOTTLES, ALL OF 
THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. 
I DO THINK, IN TERMS OF 
GUIDELINES FOR LITTLE LEAGUE, 
IT IS DEFINITELY OUT THERE. 
LITTLE LEAGUE IS OUR LIFE IN 
SPORTS PROVIDER, AT THE COUNTY 
MINISTRY DIMENSION, SINCE WE 
DON'T DO OUR OWN PROGRAMMING, 
AT THIS POINT, IT WOULD BE 
REALLY SELF-MONITORING AS THEY 
GO ABOUT PRACTICES. 
AT LEAST WITH CONDUCTING THESE 
PRACTICES. 
ALL OF OUR PRESIDENT, AS WELL 
AS OUR ADMINISTRATOR IS WELL 
AWARE OF THE LEE GUIDELINES, 
AND HAVE BEEN WATCHING THEM 
CLOSELY. 
YOU KNOW, THEY CERTAINLY HAVE 
THOSE GUIDELINES AT THEIR 
FINGERTIPS TO IMPLEMENT. 
>> OKAY. 
THANKS LEE. 
COMMISSIONER DOZIER, YOU STILL 
HAVE THE FLOOR. 
IS THERE A MOTION AB RELATIVE 
TO MOVING FORWARD? 
I DID NOT WANT TO PUT WORDS IN 
YOUR MOUTH. 
BEFORE YOU FINISH, I WOULD LIKE 
TO YOUR EARLIER POINT, I WOULD 
LIKE TO FINISH THE DISCUSSION 
ON YOUTH SPORTS AND SEE IS 
THERE SOME DESIRE TO MOVE 
FORWARD TO MAKE A CHANGE? 
>> YES, MR. CHAIRMAN. 
THAT WAS MY FIRST QUESTION, 
THANK YOU LEE. 
I DID HEAR YOU MENTION LITTLE 
LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL. 
I THINK PART OF THE PROBLEM 
HERE AND THIS CAME UP WITH 
COMMISSIONER LINDLEY'S 
QUESTIONS AS WE ARE SEEING 
DIFFERENT RULES APPLIED TO 
DIFFERENT GROUPS. 
WHEN WE'VE GOT KIDS IN OUR 
COMMUNITY THAT ARE ON TRAVEL 
TEAMS THAT ARE ACTIVE RIGHT 
NOW, AND YET THE YOUNGER 
BROTHERS AND SISTERS CAN'T DO 
LITTLE LEAGUE I UNDERSTAND WHY 
THAT STANDS OUT TO PARENTS, 
THAT'S NOT SOMETHING WE 
NECESSARILY CREATED AN ISSUE WE 
CREATED. 
WE'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THE SAME 
GUIDELINES LIKE IT CONSISTENTLY.
DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THOSE 
PLANS, I THINK IF WE DISTILL 
THAT, IF WE ALLOW IT TO GO 
FORWARD, IT'S KIND OF A ALL OR 
NOTHING IS WHAT I'M HEARING 
RIGHT NOW. 
IF WE ALLOW YOUTH SPORTS TO 
MOVE FORWARD, THEN LITTLE 
LEAGUE IS GOING TO POLICE 
THEMSELVES, AND WE ARE JUST 
PART OF THIS PIECEMEAL APPROACH.
SO, ALTERNATIVE TO THAT, THE 
PARKS ARE OPEN, BUT RECREATION 
FACILITIES ARE CLOSED. 
IS THAT CORRECT, MR. COUNTY 
IMAGE TRADER? 
DID I SAY THAT RIGHT? 
>> THAT'S CORRECT. 
WE ARE REALLY NOT ENFORCING 
ANYTHING ON THE FIELD, UNLESS 
THAT'S AN EXCESSIVE NUMBER OR 
IT LOOKS LIKE IT MAY BE AN 
ORGANIZED TEAM EVENT. 
IF PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE, MOMS 
AND DADS WE ARE NOT BREAKING 
THEM UP, ONLY BRING THEM UP IF 
IT LOOKS LIKE NOT AN ORGANIZED 
TEAM EVENT. 
>> IF IT WAS ONE TEAM THAT WAS 
PRACTICING, IT MAY LOOK 
ORGANIZED AND THEREFORE YOU MAY 
BREAK IT UP? 
>> YES. 
SO, NOT A GRAY AREA FOR US IN 
THIS PHASE. 
THERE IS NO PRACTICE ALLOWED ON 
THE FIELD. 
>> OKAY. 
MR. CHAIR, YOU'RE ASKING FOR A 
MOTION HERE, I DON'T KNOW HOW 
TO DIVIDE THIS. 
LIKE I SAID, IT FEELS LIKE ALL 
OR NOTHING. 
I DON'T SEE ENOUGH WAYS THAT WE 
COULD ABIDE BY THE REQUIREMENTS 
FOR GROUPS, 50 OR LESS, IF WE 
DON'T HAVE FULL OPENING OF 
LITTLE LEAGUE SPORTS IN OUR 
COMMUNITY. 
I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE MOTION IS 
TO ALLOW ANYTHING MORE THAN 
WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY ALLOWED 
AND LETS US GO TO THE FULL 
EXTENT. 
HOWEVER, I WILL SAY THIS, THAT 
I THINK COORDINATION WITH THE 
CITY IS CRITICAL. 
COMMISSIONER JACKSON MENTIONED 
PLAYGROUNDS, WHATEVER THEY 
REOPEN, THINGS LIKE THAT. 
THIS PIECEMEAL APPROACH LEADS 
TO CONFUSION, NONCOMPLIANCE, 
AND PEOPLE THINKING WE ARE 
BEING TOO EXTREME. 
AND THE MORE COORDINATION WE 
HAVE THE BETTER, FRANKLY. 
SO, I ACTUALLY HAVE TO LEAVE 
THE MOTION TO SOMEONE ELSE 
RIGHT NOW. 
I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR OTHER 
THOUGHTS, BECAUSE THIS IS A 
REALLY DIFFICULT ONE. 
>> OKAY. 
LET ME WAIT AND AND I WILL GIVE 
YOU MY OPINION. 
I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE A MOTION. 
I THINK THERE'S AN IN-BETWEEN 
BETWEEN FULL-BLOWN LITTLE 
LEAGUE PLAY, AND LETTING THE 
FIELD REOPEN FOR PRACTICE. 
YOU PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING, 
WE CAN PROBABLY POST SOME ROLES 
RELATIVE WHERE THINGS OUGHT TO 
BE TAKEN CARE OF. 
WE ARE GOING TO LET KNOW 
ORGANIZED TEAM ON TEAM PLAY, 
BUT AS THE TEAMS, A LOT OF THEM 
ARE PLAYING AS LEE POINTED OUT, 
THERE IS NO TRAVEL BALL THAT 
ACTUALLY COMPETES HERE IN TOWN, 
THERE'S A LOT OF TRAVEL BALL 
TEAMS THAT LIVE HERE IN TOWN 
AND GO OVER THE STATE AND PLAY, 
AND THEY ARE DOING THAT. 
AT SOME OF OUR FIELDS. 
YOU'VE GOT A DOZEN KIDS AND A 
FEW PARENTS WHO ARE DROPPING 
THEM OFF, PICKING THEM UP, AND 
MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND, NO 
MORE THAN 50, THIS IS NOT AN 
ORGANIZED GAME, THIS IS NOTHING 
MORE THAN ORGANIZED PRACTICE. 
I THINK IT'S A STAIRSTEP UNTIL, 
TO COMMISSIONER LINDLEY'S POINT 
EARLIER, WE HAVE TO RELY ON THE 
PARENTS TO BE SELF POLICING 
BECAUSE I DO WANT TO BE PUT IN 
A POSITION WHERE WE HAVE TO 
PULL THIS BACK IF WE GO DOWN 
THIS PATH. 
THAT WAS THE WAY I LOOK AT 
THIS. 
I'VE DONE ENOUGH CALLS AND 
FAMILIAR ENOUGH WITH IT THAT I 
WOULD BECOME TROUBLE WITH THAT 
IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO MAKE THAT 
KIND OF MOTION. 
I WILL QUIET DOWN FOR A MINUTE, 
HERE. 
ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO CARRY THIS 
FURTHER? 
>> YEAH, I WILL PUT THE MOTION 
OUT THERE THAT WE OPEN UP FOR 
PRACTICE, ORGANIZE PRACTICE 
ACTIVITIES AND THAT WE DO OUR 
BEST TO KEEP CROWDS 250 OR LESS.
WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ADDRESS 
ANY COMPETITIVE GAMES AT THIS 
TIME. 
>> OKAY. 
I WOULD SECOND THAT, AND IT'S 
BACK TO YOU COMMISSIONER 
DOZIER. 
I HOPE I DID NOT CUT YOU OFF, I 
THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE. 
I WAS MOVING IT AROUND. 
>> THAT'S FINE. 
DID WE HAVE A SECOND FOR THAT 
MOTION? 
>> I SAID I WOULD SECOND, 
ABSOLUTELY. 
>> I WOULD LIKE TO SEE 
SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPEN, AS 
I SAID. 
I THINK IT'S CHALLENGING. 
IS THIS SOMETHING WE CAN JUST 
MAKE A MOTION AND THEN 
TOMORROW, PRACTICES ARE OPEN? 
OR, WOULD IT BE BETTER IF WE 
SAID THAT WAS OUR INTENSE AND 
LET THE COUNTY IMAGE TRADER AND 
OUR STAFF BRING US BACK A PLAN, 
TALK TO LITTLE LEAGUE ABOUT 
THIS AT THE NEXT MEETING, A 
WEEK FROM NOW? 
IT'S ONLY ONE WEEK, BUT I THINK 
IF WE ARE NOT AT FULL OPENING, 
WHICH IS WHAT THE ASK IS, 
SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE, THERE 
IS WORK TO DO TO GET SIGNAGE 
UP, WORK TO DO WHAT THIS 
DECISION IS, I DON'T KNOW THAT 
THAT STARTS TOMORROW. 
I WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND A 
LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT HOW THIS 
WOULD HAPPEN. 
MR. COUNTY IMAGE TRADER, DO YOU 
HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON THIS? 
>> NO, JUST THAT WE HAVE BEEN 
WORKING IN ANTICIPATION, 
WHETHER IT'S THE LEAGUES OR 
LIBRARIES, OR ANY OF OUR 
VARIOUS FUNCTIONS TO 
INCREMENTALLY RING THINGS ON. 
WHEN THE BOARD DECIDES TO DO 
THIS, IT'S NOT MUCH OF A RAMP-
UP TIME FOR US. 
ALL OF THOSE ISSUES YOU 
MENTION, COMMISSIONER DOZIER, 
ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE, YES. 
IT WILL TAKE A LITTLE TIME. 
A LITTLE TIME TO COMMUNICATE TO 
PARENTS, A LITTLE TIME TO 
COMMUNICATE POSTING RULES, 
MAKING SIGNS, WE DO ALL THAT IN 
HOUSE. 
IT WILL TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF 
TIME. 
BUT I THINK WHAT YOU ARE SEEING 
IS WE HAVE ACTIVE CONVERSATIONS 
HAPPENING WITH THE LEAGUES. 
I THINK IF YOU MADE THIS 
DECISION TONIGHT, YOU WOULD 
HAVE TEAMS PRACTICING TOMORROW, 
UNLESS YOU GIVE US OTHER 
GUIDANCE. 
>> TO THAT ANSWER YOUR 
QUESTION, COMMISSIONER DOZIER? 
>> IT DOES, AND ONE LAST, IS 
THERE ANY LIABILITY ISSUES? 
WE ARE STUCK BETWEEN THE TWO 
EXECUTIVE ORDERS, IF THIS IS A 
LIABILITY ON LITTLE LEAGUE AND 
I HATE TO FRAME IT THAT WAY, 
BUT I THINK WE HAVE TO. 
WITHOUT A CONCERN OF YOURS, MR. 
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR? 
>> I WOULD REALLY HAVE TO DEFER 
TO THE LIABILITY ISSUE. 
>> I SHOULD'VE SAID MADAM COUNTY
ATTORNEY, FORGIVE ME. 
>> GO AHEAD. 
>> COMMISSIONER DOZIER, TO 
ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, SOMEONE 
CAN ALWAYS TRY TO ASSERT 
LIABILITY, THEY WOULD HAVE A 
HARD TIME GIVEN THE EXECUTIVE 
ORDER, WHICH AUTHORIZES THIS. 
DEMONSTRATING THERE IS ANY 
LIABILITY FOR AUTHORIZING THE 
SORT OF PRACTICES THAT ARE 
BEING DISCUSSED AT THIS MEETING,
I THINK THE RISK IS ANY 
%-ú 
VERY LOW. 
>> OKAY. 
I'VE GOT COMMISSIONER MINOR AND 
THEN COMMISSIONER LINDLEY. 
COMMISSIONER MINOR. 
>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. 
THIS IS A REALLY TOUGH ONE. 
I HAVE TWO YOUNG KIDS AND THERE 
ARE SOME DAYS WHEN THE TWO OF 
THEM AND THEIR TWO PARENTS ARE 
CLIMBING THE WALLS OF THE 
HOUSE, IT IS, I UNDERSTAND WHY 
PEOPLE ARE WANTING THIS. 
THE THINGS THAT COME TO MIND 
FOR ME ARE AS COMMISSIONER 
DOZIER ALLUDED TO, YOU KNOW, 
MAKING SURE THAT WE DO THE 
PLANNING REQUIREMENT OF THE 
COUNTY IMAGE TRADER SAID, WE 
MAY NOT BE THAT MUCH. 
I WOULD LIKE TO FIND SOME WAY 
FOR THE LITTLE LEAGUE TEAMS ARE 
ANY INDICATING THEY WANT TO 
COMPLY WITH SOCIAL DISTANCING 
AND SAFETY STANDARDS. 
THAT'S NUMBER ONE. 
NUMBER TWO, I WANT TO STRONGLY 
ENCOURAGE THAT LITTLE LEAGUE 
MEMBERS AS LONG AS THEIR PARENTS
STRONGLY CONSIDER GETTING 
TESTED, AT LEAST ONCE DURING 
THIS SUMMER SEASON. 
THE BIG CONCERN I HAVE IS THAT 
YOU MAY HAVE SOME SPREAD GOING 
ON OVER THE SUMMER WITH THESE 
YOUTH TEAMS THAT WE DON'T 
REALLY KNOW OR HAVE ANY SENSE 
FOR WHERE THEY ARE GETTING THE 
INFECTIONS. 
IN A WAY, WE CAN STRONGLY 
ENCOURAGE THESE PARENTS AND 
CHILDREN TO GET TESTED AT LEAST 
ONCE, PREFERABLY TWICE IN THE 
BEGINNING AND END OF THE 
SEASON, THAT WOULD HELP US 
PROVIDE SOME CONFIDENCE THAT 
THIS IS PROCEEDING IN A WAY 
THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE 
DANGEROUS TO THE REST OF THE 
PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE COUNTY. 
>> OKAY. 
I'VE GOT COMMISSIONER LINDLEY 
UP NEXT, AND THAT I'VE GOT, I 
BELIEVE IS THAT COMMISSIONER 
PROCTOR? 
COMMISSIONER LINDLEY. 
>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. 
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT LEAGUES 
MOSTLY AND TEAMS PRACTICING, BUT
MAYBE THE COUNTY MR. CAN 
VERIFY, RIGHT NOW, YOUNG PEOPLE 
CAN GO OUT TO OUR PARKS, IS A 
BIT OF A TIME. 
THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE ON A TEAM 
POORLY, AND THEY CAN PRACTICE 
HITTING BALLS AND THEY CAN BE 
OUT THERE PLAYING, RIGHT NOW, 
SMALLER GROUPS, AM I RIGHT? 
WE ARE TALKING THUSLY ABOUT 
LEAGUES AND TEAMS, PRACTICING 
IN SOME ORGANIZED WAY, AS 
OPPOSED TO MOMS AND DADS OR 
KIDS CAN GO OUT THERE RIGHT NOW 
AND NOT THE BALLS AROUND WITH 
THEIR BROTHERS OR JUST IN 
SMALLER GROUPS, RIGHT? 
>> SMALLER GROUPS, YES. 
>> WHY DO WE HAVE THIS PROBLEM? 
I DON'T UNDERSTAND, HONESTLY, 
AND I'M LEANING REALLY TOWARDS 
STICKING WITH WHERE WE ARE IN 
PHASE TWO, AND SAYING COOL YOUR 
HEELS, IT'S PROBABLY A COUPLE 
OF WEEKS WHEN PHASE THREE COMES 
AROUND, THE KIDS KIDS CAN GET 
OUT IN THE PARKS NOW IN SMALLER 
NUMBERS, JUST NOT THERE TEAMS 
OR THEIR LEAKS. 
I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT. 
>> OKAY. 
COMMISSIONER MATTOX. 
>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. 
I THERE WAS COMMISSIONER 
LINDLEY. 
I BELIEVE PHASE THREE WHAT WE 
ARE DISCUSSING NOW, ASSUMING 
THAT THE GOVERNOR SEEING WHAT 
THE CDC REQUIREMENTS ARE AND 
ALL THAT, AND PRECAUTIONS ARE, 
I JUST THINK THEY'RE DONE A 
GOOD JOB PUTTING A PLAN 
TOGETHER FOR PHASE TWO AND WE 
SHOULD GO WITH THAT. 
I SEE NO REASON TO BLOCK THAT 
SYSTEM. 
I THINK PHASE THREE IS THE 
PLACE TO DO WHAT WE ARE TALKING 
ABOUT HERE, AND I'M GOING TO 
STICK TO THAT. 
I CAN'T SUPPORT THE MOTION ON 
THE FLOOR. 
>> OKAY. 
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER MATTOX. 
COMMISSIONER PROCTOR, DID YOU 
WANT TO WEIGH IN? 
YOU ARE STILL MUTED. úHOLD ON A 
>> YOU GOT ME NOW? 
>> YES HER, NOW WE GOT YOU. 
>> SUPER. 
I THINK COMMISSIONER MATTOX AND 
LINDLEY, IN THE FACE OF THE 
STATE'S LET'S JUST CALL IT FOR 
WHAT IT IS, WAFFLING AROUND, 
OUR STAFF HAS DONE A GREAT JOB, 
AND I THINK THAT BECAUSE 
INCREMENTALLY, THE NEXT LEVEL 
OF REOPENING IS GOING TO EXPAND 
PARTICIPATION, AS WELL AS 
NUMBERS, THAT WE MAY BE PUTTING 
A LOT MORE EFFORT FOR A WEEK OR 
TWO WEEK PERIOD, WHICH IS JUST 
NOT JUSTIFIABLE FOR THE AMOUNT 
OF TIME. 
SECONDLY, I WOULD SAY TO THE 
COUNTY'S ATTORNEY IF WE LET KIDS
GO OUT ON A BALLPARK, I THINK 
THAT ALL PARENTS SHOULD SIGN A 
WAIVER FORM AND SIMPLY SAY THAT 
DEAR PARENT, IF YOU BRING YOUR 
CHILDREN OUT HERE, WE ARE IN 
THE MIDST OF COVID-19. 
WE ARE REOPENING  AND WE HAVE 
NO OR SPOTS ABILITY, AND THE 
COUNTY HAS NO LIABILITY. 
WE SHOULD NOT HAVE KIDS OUT 
THERE IN A CLIMATE LIKE THIS, 
WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT. 
SO, I DON'T WANT TO SEE NOBODY 
OUT THERE, UNLESS THE PARENT 
GOT A SIGNED SHEET OF PAPER, 
WAVING LIABILITY AND THE PARENT 
ACTING LIKE THEY GOT SOMEWHERE 
WITH ALL I DON'T BELIEVE THE 
COUNTY OWES A PRETEXT NOR A 
POSTTEST TO PARENTS WHO ARE 
WILLING TO WALK THEIR CHILDREN 
OUT THERE AND ASSUME THE RISK OF
BEING SUSCEPTIBLE TO COVID. 
EVERYBODY KNOWS. 
OF EVERYBODY TO SIGN OFF, LET'S 
GET HONEST ON THE FRONT END,  
WE ARE NOT GOING TO TEST NOBODY 
TO COME OUT, I DON'T THINK WE 
KNOW THAT IF THE HEALTH 
DEPARTMENT WANTS TO GO OUT 
THERE AND PUT SOME STIPULATION, 
YOUR KID CANNOT COME ON THIS 
FIELD, UNLESS THEY PROVE THEY 
AIN'T GOT IT, THAT WE CAN PUT 
THAT IN THERE. 
LET'S JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENS 
AFTERWARDS. 
IN THE FACE OF ALL THE PROTESTS 
THAT HAVE BEEN OCCURRING, THAT 
NOBODY HAS CHECKED THAT THERE 
IS NO STIPULATION OF GROUPS OF 
50 OR 49, THIS IS JUST AN 
AMAZING TIME OF FLUCTUATION OF 
PEOPLE AND SOME CHILDREN IN THE 
CROWD. 
SO, I THINK THAT STAFF IS DOING 
ALL THAT WE CAN WITH 
FLUCTUATING STANDARDS AND WE'VE 
GOT DIFFERENT PROTEST ENDED, 
PEOPLE AND CHILDREN. 
A LOT OF YOUNG FOLKS, CAN'T 
NOBODY TELL NOBODY NOTHING. 
THEY ARE DOING WHAT THEY WANT 
BUT NOW WE ARE GOING TO BE 
EXTRA SPECIAL GUARDIANS OF THE 
PART, IT'S A WHOLE LOT. 
I THINK OUR STAFF IS ON A GOOD 
JOB, AND THE MORE IMPORTANT 
THING, TO ME, MISS CLAUDIA 
BLACKBURN TELLING US WHAT TO DO 
ON THE RESEARCH, AND WHEN WE 
SHUT DOWN AGAIN, I THINK THE 
NEXT PLAN IS TO LOOK AT THE 
NEXT SHUTDOWN IN THE FACE OF 
ALL OF THE COMING TOGETHER OF 
PEOPLE ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY. 
THE MEDIA PLAYING TO COME 
INDICATE, WE DON'T HAVE A 
MEDICATION PLAN TO LET FOLKS 
KNOW WHAT I SAID, I THINK 
LIABILITY WAIVERS SHOULD BE A 
PART OF CHILDREN COMING TO THE 
PARK, AND THE CLEARANCE FOR 
PARENTS IF THEIR CHILDREN HAVE 
BEEN TESTED, BRING US A CLEAN 
SHEET. 
>> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER 
PROCTOR. 
I'M COUNTING, COMMISSIONER 
JACKSON, SELECT THE MOTION YOU 
MADE A NICE SECOND AND HAS 
GOTTEN NOT MUCH LIFE IN IT. 
COMMISSIONER DOZIER? 
HERE'S MY PROPOSAL. 
A MOTION THE MAYBE SAYS EXCEPT 
THE REPORT AND WE CONTINUE, 
COMMISSIONER DOZIER, YOU HAD 
OTHER THINGS YOU WANTED TO 
BRING UP. 
UNLESS YOU WANT TO WEIGH IN ON 
THIS SPORTS THING? 
OKAY, GO AHEAD, COMMISSIONER 
DOZIER. 
>> I WAS COUNTING THOSE AS 
WELL, MR. CHAIR. 
FRANKLY, I'VE BEEN SITTING HERE 
TEETERING ON THE FENCE, GOING 
BACK AND FORTH. 
THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT 
ISSUE, AND I THINK WE NEED TO 
SAY ONE MORE TIME THAT WE ARE 
LEFT BETWEEN A BUNCH OF ROCKS 
AND HARD PLACES. 
THE GUIDANCE FOR THE STATE AND 
CDC IS IN CONFLICT. 
WE ARE DOING, TRYING TO DO 
WHAT'S BEST FOR THE WHOLE 
COMMITTEE, IT'S NOT ABOUT 
LIABILITY AND OTHER THINGS. 
I FELT LIKE I NEEDED TO ASK 
THAT QUESTION. 
WE WOULD, IN OTHER 
CIRCUMSTANCES, THIS IS MORE 
ABOUT TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT 
THING UNDER CDC GUIDELINES, 
WHEN WE HAVE A LOT OF CONFUSION,
CONFUSING INDICATORS FROM 
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE STATE, 
AND DIFFERENT PEOPLE DOING 
DIFFERENT THINGS. 
I WAS THINKING A POSSIBLE 
SUBSTITUTE MOTION AND I'M NOT 
EVEN SURE THIS IS NECESSARY, 
MR. CHAIR, AS A NOTION. 
I'M EXCITED TO I WOULD BE OPEN 
TO A PLAN TO ALLOW LIMITED 
ACTIVITY, ORGANIZED ACTIVITY ON 
SOME OF OUR BALLFIELDS AND 
THINGS LIKE THAT. 
HEARING MORE FROM LITTLE LEAGUE 
ORGANIZATIONS AFTER THEY HEARD 
THIS CONVERSATION ABOUT 
IMPLEMENT SOCIAL DISTANCING, 
IT'S NOT ABOUT HAVING THE 
GUIDELINES FROM LITTLE LEAGUE 
INTERNATIONAL. 
I THINK WE SHOULD KNOW HOW THEY 
PLAN TO DO IT AT OTHER PARKS. 
I WOULD LOVE TO GET THERE. 
I DON'T FEEL LIKE WE ARE THERE 
YET. 
THAT'S WIDELY MORE TOWARDS 
COMMISSIONER LINDLEY AND MATTOX.
I DO THINK INDIVIDUAL PARENTS, 
A LOT OF FOLKS ARE MAKING SMART 
CHOICES. 
WE ALSO SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT 
THERE NOT WEARING MASKS, NOT 
DOING SOCIAL DISTANCING. 
AND THAT'S REALLY TROUBLING. 
AT THIS POINT, I HOPE WE ARE 
BETTER IN A COUPLE WEEKS. 
I HOPE WE KEEP MOVING IN THE 
RIGHT DIRECTION, BUT AT THIS 
POINT, IF ANYTHING, I WOULD SAY 
HE CAN DEVELOP MORE PLANS OR 
HEAR BACK FROM STAFF. 
BUT I CAN'T GET THERE WITH FULL 
REOPENING. 
>> OKAY, ALL RIGHT. 
LET ME CIRCLE BACK TO 
COMMISSIONER JACKSON. 
COMMISSIONER JACKSON, THE 
LOCOMOTION YOU AND I WERE 
TALKING ABOUT HAS GOT NO LEGS. 
WHY DON'T WE GO AHEAD AND -- 
YOU WANT TO PULL THE MOTION YOU 
HAD? 
>> YEAH, I WILL PULL THE 
MOTION. 
WE WILL ACCEPT, I WOULD PULL 
THE MOTION AND PROBABLY SECOND 
COMMISSIONER MATTOX'S MOTION TO 
APPROVE THE REPORT. 
CAN I DO THAT? 
>> OKAY. 
OKAY. 
>> SO THE MOTION IS EXCEPT THE 
REPORT WITH FOLDERS OR ACTION 
OR DO YOU WANT TO HAVE SOME 
CONTINUED DISCUSSION RELATIVE 
TO OTHER AREAS IF YOU WANT TO 
LEAN IN ON? 
>> MR. CHAIR, I HAVE OTHER 
AREAS I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT
THAT I WILL LET THE MAKER OF 
THE MOTION ANSWER THAT. 
>> COMMISSIONER MATTOX, WHY DO 
WE ACCEPT THE REPORT AND WE CAN 
HAVE A DISCUSSION, IF THE NEEDS 
TO BE SOME NUANCE CAN DO THAT. 
>> I DON'T WANT TO PULL ANY 
DISCUSSION. 
I THINK THAT OPTION NUMBER TWO 
IS THERE FOR US TO MAKE 
CHANGES, IF WE JUST ARE COOL 
WITH HAVING THE REPORT. 
I MADE A MOTION JUST TO ACCEPT 
THE REPORT BECAUSE I'M TOTALLY 
FINE WITH WHAT IS PRESENTED, I 
THINK IT'S WELL THOUGHT OUT, ON 
PHASE TWO AND PHASE THREE WOULD 
BE THE SAME. 
THAT'S WHY HE MADE THE MOTION. 
I THINK IT IS GOING TO BE ANY 
CONSIDERATION OF CHANGES, IT 
WOULD BE HAPPENING IN THE FORM 
OF A SUBSTITUTE MOTION OR 
FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS, I'M 
NOT GOING TO ACCEPT THE 
AMENDMENTS, BECAUSE I THINK 
THAT STAFF PRESENTATION AND 
PLAN IS SPOT ON FOR WE NEED TO 
BE GOING. 
I MOTION IS JUST FOR OPTION 
NUMBER ONE, IF YOU ACCEPT IT. 
IF THERE'S GOING TO BE A 
SUBSTITUTE, 
>> WE HAVE A MOTION WHICH IS 
EXCEPT THE REPORT WITH NO 
FURTHER ACTION. 
SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER, IT WAS
COMMISSIONER JACKSON, SECONDED 
COMMISSIONER JACKSON MOTION BUT 
I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I GOT 
THAT RIGHT. 
DISCUSSION ON THAT. 
I WOULD ASSUME COMMISSIONER 
DOZIER, IT'S BACK TO YOU? 
>> YES, MR. CHAIR. 
I GUESS I WANT TO SAY RIGHT NOW,
I HOPE WE CAN WRAP THIS UP IN 
30 MINUTES. 
BUT THIS IS PRETTY IMPORTANT. 
I HOPE YOU HAVE SOME 
UNDERSTANDING OF THAT. 
I DON'T WE CAN HAVE A HARD STOP 
AT 4:30, IF WE ARE THE MIDDLE 
OF A DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS. 
JUST PUTTING THAT OUT THERE. 
>> WE CAN HAVE A HARD STOP IF 
PEOPLE ARE BRIEF IN THEIR 
COMMENT, BUT GO AHEAD. 
THAT'S ALL RIGHT. 
>> THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION 
TO GET THROUGH, MR. CHAIR, FOR 
THOSE OF US THAT HAVE SOME 
QUESTIONS. 
MY QUESTIONS ARE GOING TO START 
WITH CLAUDIA BLACKBURN FROM OUR 
HEALTH APARTMENT. 
IS SHE STILL WITH US? IF THAT'S 
EXCITABLE, MR. CHAIR? 
>> SURE. 
OKAY, GO AHEAD. 
THAT'S FINE. 
CLAUDIA, ARE YOU WITH US? 
>> YES. 
>> THANK YOU. 
HI, CLAUDIA. 
I SHOULD SAY, AS I STARTER, WE 
HAVE SAID IT A LOT BUT YOU AND 
YOUR TEAM HAVE BEEN WORKING 
MORE THAN THREE MONTHS. 
AND WE TRULY APPRECIATE ALL OF 
YOUR EFFORTS. 
THERE IS A LOT OF QUESTIONS 
THAT COME UP FROM PEOPLE WHO 
WANT TO FOCUS ON YOUTH SPORTS, 
BUT FROM A LOT OF OTHERS ABOUT 
THE DATA, THE TESTING, THE 
POSITIVITY RATES, THINGS LIKE 
THAT. 
AND I'VE ARTIE MADE THIS PUBLIC 
ON SOCIAL MEDIA, SO I WILL GO 
AHEAD AND SAY IT NOW. 
I HAVE BEEN SICK FOR ALMOST 2 
WEEKS, MY COVID TEST WAS 
NEGATIVE. 
THERE IS ENOUGH REPORTS  OF 
FALSE NEGATIVE TESTS AND MY 
SYMPTOMS LINEUP WITH COVID THAT 
WE ARE IN SELF ISOLATION, AND 
IS STILL HAVING A HARD TIME 
CATCHING MY BREATH.  
THIS IS MY SECOND GOOD DAY. 
SINCE THURSDAY THE 28th. 
SO, I'M STRUGGLING WITH THIS, 
AS PER OUR COMMUNITY BUT ALSO 
THINKING ABOUT IT A LITTLE 
DIFFERENTLY IN THE LAST TWO 
WEEKS AS I'VE DEALT WITH THIS. 
ONE OF THE THINGS, CLAUDIA, 
THAT HAS REALLY STOOD OUT TO ME 
AND IT JUST CAME UP THAT THE 
COVID-19 TEST , WHETHER OR NOT 
WE SEE THE DEMAND FALLING OFF, 
IT IS THAT A KIND OF POINT IN 
TIME TEST. 
IT WAS DESCRIBED TO ME FROM MY 
PRIMARY AS SIMILAR TO A STREP 
TEST. 
IT DEPENDS ON HOW THE TEST IS 
ADMINISTERED, I THINK THE 
PEOPLE ARE DOING A GREAT JOB AT 
BRAGG. 
BUT EVEN IF IT'S ADMINISTERED 
PROPERLY, IT CAN COME BACK AS A 
FALSE NEGATIVE SOMETIMES. 
AND THE ANTIBODY TEST, THE 
BLOOD TEST IS REALLY SOMETHING 
THAT IS A LITTLE MORE CONCRETE. 
SHOWING WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE 
FOUGHT OFF COVID-19.  
SO, AS WE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO 
GET TESTED, I AM ACTUALLY 
WONDERING IF THAT'S GIVING US A 
FALSE UNDERSTANDING OF OUR 
POSITIVITY RATES, OR IF IT 
COULD GIVE US A FALSE 
UNDERSTANDING OF THAT, AND IF 
THERE'S ANY THINKING ABOUT 
MOVING US TOWARDS THE ANTIBODY 
TEST IN THE NEAR FUTURE, TO 
HELP OUR PUBLIC HEALTH 
PROFESSIONALS LIKE YOU 
UNDERSTAND THE SPREADS AND 
NUMBERS A LITTLE BETTER. 
>> SO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS 
TRUE. 
THE PCR TEST THAT WE GENERALLY 
USE, THAT'S WHAT WE USE AT 
BRAGG, TO TEST PEOPLE FOR COVID-
19  IS HIGHLY SENSITIVE, AND 
HIGHLY SPECIFIC. 
BUT IT IS NOT PERFECT. 
AND THE METHOD WE USE TO 
COLLECT THE SPECIMEN NOW IS A 
VERY EFFECTIVE METHOD, THE MOST 
EFFECTIVE METHOD. 
SO, BUT, IT IS A POINT IN TIME. 
IF WE ARE POSITIVE TODAY, THEN 
HOPEFULLY YOU WILL BE OVER IT 
IN A COUPLE WEEKS. 
AND HOPEFULLY, YOU WILL BE 
IMMUNE. 
BUT WE DON'T KNOW YET. 
THE ANTIBODY TEST THAT EXISTS 
RIGHT NOW, THERE'S NOT ENOUGH 
SOLID SCIENCE BEHIND IT YET FOR 
US TO BE ABLE TO SAY YES, IF 
YOU HAVE AN ANTIBODY TEST AND 
IT SHOWS THE ANTIBODY, THE IDG, 
THAT YOU ARE DEFINITELY AMUSED 
AND YOU WON'T BE INFECTED WITH 
COVID IN THE FUTURE. 
WE DON'T KNOW THAT.  
THERE COULD BE CROSS-
REACTIVITY, IT COULD BE THAT 
YOU HAVE THIS IMMUNITY OR THAT 
YOU ARE SHOWING THE PROTECTIVE 
IMMUNOGLOBULIN FOR SOME OTHER 
CORONAVIRUS. 
SO, WE JUST DON'T KNOW YET, BUT 
WE ARE COLLECTING A LOT OF DATA 
AND HOPEFULLY THE SCIENCE WILL 
HAVE BETTER SCIENCE VERY SOON, 
AND THEY WILL KNOW WHETHER THE 
ANTIBODY TEST IS THE WAY TO GO. 
BUT YOU ARE RIGHT. 
IF YOU ARE NEGATIVE TODAY, IT 
DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE GOING TO BE 
NEGATIVE TOMORROW. 
YOU CAN WALK OUT OF THE STADIUM 
AND GO TO A PARTY AND GET 
EXPOSED. 
AND THEN, YOU ARE RIGHT BACK 
WHERE YOU STARTED. 
IT JUST TELLS YOU YOUR STATUS 
AT THAT TIME. 
>> OKAY. 
LET ME MAKE THREE QUICK 
STATEMENTS HERE AND TELL ME IF 
ANY OF THIS IS INCORRECT OR 
I'VE BEEN HEARING THE EXPERTS 
OR INTERPRETING US INCORRECTLY. 
IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S 2 TO 3 
WEEKS FOR SYMPTOMS MAY COME UP, 
WE MAY NOT SEE A SPIKE AS 
COUNTY IMAGE TRADERS SET UP 
FRONT. 
IT'S BEEN A COUPLE WEEKS SINCE 
MEMORIAL DAY, THREE WEEKS SINCE 
PHASE ONE. 
WE ARE IN THAT GRAY AREA, WHERE 
THE INCREASED NUMBERS MAY BE 
BECAUSE MORE TESTING, LONG-TERM 
CARE FACILITIES OR OTHERS MAY 
BE THAT WE HAVE MORE COMMUNITY 
SPREAD. 
THAT'S THE FIRST THING, IS THAT 
ACCURATE OR NOT? 
AND THE SECOND THING, WE ARE 
LEARNING AS WE GO. 
SO, THE DATA AND TESTING AND 
EVERYTHING ELSE IS GOOD, AS 
GOOD AS WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. 
AND IT IS GOOD INFORMATION TO 
GO ON. 
BUT, IT'S NOT 100%, AND 
THEREFORE, THAT'S WHY THE 
FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, 
CDC, STILL RECOMMEND SOCIAL 
DISTANCING WEARING MASKS AND 
OTHER MEASURES TO CONTROL THE 
SPREAD. 
SO, TO PARTS THERE. 
DID I SAY ANYTHING THAT WAS 
INACCURATE THERE? 
OR ANY OTHER THOUGHTS? 
>> I THINK YOU ARE EXACTLY 
RIGHT. 
WE ARE WATCHING, WE ARE 
WATCHING TO SEE IF THERE'S 
GOING TO BE AN INFECTION FROM 
ROYAL DAY, FROM THE PROTESTS, 
IT DID LOOK LIKE A LOT OF 
PEOPLE WERE WEARING FACE 
COVERINGS. IN GENERAL, WE ARE 
WATCHING OUR NUMBERS, THEY ARE 
LOOKING PRETTY GOOD RIGHT NOW. 
HOWEVER, WE ARE SEEING A LITTLE 
BIT OF AN INCREASE IN THE OTHER 
INDICATORS THAT COULD MEAN WE 
ARE GOING TO HAVE MORE CASES. 
WE DON'T KNOW. 
WE ARE GOING TO SEE IF THERE IS 
A RELATIONSHIP, SOME OF THOSE 
INDICATORS LIKE PEOPLE BEING 
SEEN IN THE EMERGENCY 
DEPARTMENT FOR COVID LIKE 
SYMPTOMS, OR  EVEN LIKE ILLNESS.
RIGHT NOW, OUR CASES ARE 
DECLINING. 
UNDER 2% POSITIVITY. 
THAT'S GOOD NEWS TODAY. 
>> THANK YOU, CLAUDIA. 
IT HELPS SO MUCH TO BE ABLE TO 
CHECK WHAT I HEAR ON THE NEWS 
OR SEE ON ARTICLES WITH YOU 
DIRECTLY. 
AND I TRULY APPRECIATE THAT. 
MR. CHAIR, I'M GETTING TOO 
SPECIFIC FOR COUNTY FACILITIES 
AND OTHERS. 
JUST BASED ON WHAT YOU JUST 
SAID, CLAUDIA, IT SEEMS LIKE WE 
SHOULD KEEP MOVING IN A 
POSITIVE DIRECTION, AND TAKE 
STEPS TO LOOSEN, EITHER STATE 
OR LOCAL IN THE COMING WEEKS, 
OR WE WILL FIND THAT CASES HAVE 
STARTED TO GO UP, AND WE NEED TO
EITHER HOLD, OR TAKE A STEP 
BACKWARDS. 
BY THAT, I THINK WE ARE IN THE 
MIDDLE OF THIS, I DON'T WANT TO 
SAY EXPERIMENT, TO SEE IF CASES 
WILL GO UP OR NOT. 
IS THAT CLEAR? 
>> YES. 
I THINK, AGAIN, WE ARE LEARNING 
AND LOOKING AT THE DATA EVERY 
DAY, AND TRY TO MAKE THE BEST 
DECISIONS WE CAN WITH THE DATA 
WE HAVE. 
FORTUNATELY, WE DO HAVE A LOT 
OF DATA BUT FORTUNATELY, IT'S 
NOT ALL THAT WE WANT. 
>> OKAY. 
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL 
THAT. 
I WANTED TO ASK A SERIES OF 
UESTIONS, ONE, BECAUSE, AS I 
SAID, I WANT TO VALIDATE WHAT 
I'M HEARING WITH OUR LOCAL 
HEALTH DEPARTMENT. 
BUT IT ALSO MEANS THAT WE MAY 
BE IN A DIFFERENT PLACE IN A 
COUPLE OF WEEKS. 
AS WE REOPEN LIBRARIES AND 
OTHER COUNTY FACILITIES, 
HOWEVER, IT STRIKES ME THAT 
WHILE WE MAY NOT WANT TO 
REQUIRE MASKS AT ALL FACILITIES 
AROUND THE COUNTY, WE DISCUSSED 
THAT AT PREVIOUS MEETINGS, AND 
WE DECIDED WE WOULD ENCOURAGE 
MASKS. 
BUT NOT REQUIRE THEM. 
FOR OUR FACILITIES, AND I THINK 
ABOUT THE LIBRARY IN PARTICULAR,
I SHARED THIS WITH THE COUNTY 
ADMINISTRATOR, IT WAS STARTLING 
TO ME THAT WE WOULD NOT REQUIRE 
MASKS FOR PEOPLE ENTERING THE 
FACILITY. 
AND ACTUALLY, WHEN I LOOKED AT 
OUR STANDARD OPERATING 
PROCEDURES THAT ARE IN THE PLAN 
THAT WAS PRESENTED TO US, WE 
APPROVED ON THE 21st, IT SAYS 
MASKS SHALL BE WORN BY 
EMPLOYEES AND THE PUBLIC, WHEN 
YOU CAN'T MAINTAIN SOCIAL 
DISTANCING. 
SO, I BELIEVE THAT IT IS OUR 
CHARGE TO MITIGATE THE RISK, AS 
WE SAY IN THE PLAN. 
AND THAT WE SHOULD MODEL THAT 
BEHAVIOR, AND AT COUNTY 
FACILITIES WHERE SOCIAL 
DISTANCING IS NOT POSSIBLE, WE 
SHOULD REQUIRE PEOPLE TO WEAR 
MASKS. 
I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ANY OTHER 
THOUGHTS ABOUT THAT. 
I MAY BE IN THE MINORITY. 
I'M GOING TO COME BACK TO WHERE 
I STARTED, MR. CHAIR, AND SAY 
FOR MORE THAN TWO WEEKS NOW, I 
HAVE WONDERED, ONE GENTLEMAN IN 
PARTICULAR STANDS OUT TO ME, 
THE LAST STORE I WENT INTO WAS 
LOWE'S. 
HE WAS WORKING, JUST EXTREMELY 
HARD, AN OLDER GENTLEMAN, 
PROBABLY RETIRED. 
AND I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT HIM SO 
MANY TIMES, WHAT IF I HAD NOT 
BEEN WEARING A MASK THAT DAY 
AND I ACTUALLY DO HAVE COVID?  
COULD I HAVE GOTTEN HIM SICK? 
IT'S NOT ABOUT LIMITING 
PEOPLE'S RIGHTS, IT'S ABOUT 
TAKING CARE OF EACH OTHER. 
I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO 
DO. 
I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR WHAT 
EVERYONE ELSE THINKS ABOUT 
MASKS AT COUNTY FACILITIES AND 
MAKING THAT A REQUIREMENT 
VERSUS A RECOMMENDATION. 
AND THEN, MR. CHAIR, I WILL 
MAKE A MOTION BUT I WOULD 
REALLY LIKE TO HEAR OTHER 
THOUGHTS. 
>> OKAY. 
OF COMMISSIONER JACKSON IN THE 
QUEUE. 
AND THEN, THAT'S IT FOR RIGHT 
NOW. 
COMMISSIONER JACKSON. 
>> YEAH. 
MY COMMENTS ARE NOT TOWARD THE 
DISCUSSION AT HAND. 
I JUST WANTED TO ADD SOMETHING 
BEFORE WE LEFT THE MEETING 
TODAY. 
I WILL RESERVE COMMENT. 
>> OKAY, THANK YOU. 
ANYBODY WITH A WOULD LIKE TO 
WEIGH IN ON THE MASK COMMENT OF 
COMMISSIONER DOZIER'S? 
I'M NOT SEEING ANYBODY, 
COMMISSIONER DOZIER, FROM MY 
PERSPECTIVE. 
>> I WOULD GUESS A SUBSTITUTE 
MOTION TO ACCEPT THE REPORT AND 
REQUIRE MASKS AT COUNTY 
FACILITIES, WOULD THAT GET A 
SECOND? 
LIKELY NOT? 
>> I'M LOOKING AROUND. 
I'M NOT SEEING ANY TAKERS. 
I THINK THE MOTION DIES FOR 
LACK OF A SECOND. 
OKAY. 
>> OKAY. 
I THINK IT'S HARD FOR US TO 
TAKE A HARD LINE ON SOME THINGS.
AND FOLLOW GUIDELINES ON SOME 
THINGS. 
NOT ON OTHERS. 
I'M GOING TO SAY I'M STRUGGLING 
WITH THAT. 
THIS PLAN IS VERY GOOD, BUT 
THIS IS ONE AREA IT REALLY 
STANDS OUT TO ME, AND IF 
NUMBERS GO UP, I HOPE WE GET TO 
REVISIT THIS. 
THE LAST THING I WANT TO BRING 
UP, MR. CHAIR, AND THIS MAY BE 
SOMETHING WE HAVE TO COME BACK 
TO IN THE FUTURE. 
MR. COUNTY IN MINISTRY, WE 
TALKED ABOUT COORDINATING WITH 
THE CITY, YOU MENTIONED THERE 
LEADING ACTIVE RECREATION QUOTE 
FOR A TIME. 
I'M STARTING TO SEE IMAGES FROM 
BUSINESSES AROUND TOWN, WHERE 
WE ARE NOT DOING SOCIAL 
DISTANCING AND OTHER THINGS 
LIKE THAT. 
IT'S HARD TO POLICE THIS, IT'S 
HARD TO ENFORCE IT, BUT I KNOW 
THERE ARE A LOT OF BUSINESSES 
TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING. 
IS THERE ANYTHING MORE WE CAN 
DO TO COORDINATE WITH THE CITY 
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE ONE 
MESSAGE, WHETHER IT'S 
PLAYGROUNDS OR BUSINESSES 
REOPENING, AND TO HELP 
COORDINATE WITH OUR BUSINESSES 
BETTER, TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE 
DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN, 
SINCE WE HAVE NO ENFORCEMENT 
FOR THOSE PLACES THAT AREN'T 
DOING WHAT THEY NEED TO DO? 
>> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. 
WE'VE GOT CHRISTINA AND BEEN ON 
THE LINE, I DON'T SAY TOO MUCH 
BECAUSE THEY ARE REALLY 
ACTIVELY WORKING WITH THAT 
GROUP AND I DON'T WANT TO 
ASSUME TOO MUCH. 
WHY DON'T WE, IF I COULD, I 
WOULD LIKE TO DEFER TO 
CHRISTINA AND SEE IF SHE HAS A 
ANYTHING TO ADD THERE. 
>> WELCOME, CHRISTINA. 
HOW ARE YOU? 
>> COMMISSIONER, WE ARE 
ACTIVELY WORKING WITH OUR 
BUSINESSES TO ENSURE THEY HAVE 
ALL THEIR PPE MEANS THAT, WE 
ARE COMMUNICATING WITH THEM THE 
CDC GUIDELINES, AS WELL AS WHAT 
THE GOVERNOR, THE COUNTY 
COMMISSIONER WENT OVER TODAY'S, 
THE BEST POSITION THEY CAN TO 
SERVICE THEIR CUSTOMERS WHEN 
THEY COME INTO THE DOOR. 
>> THANK YOU, CHRISTINA. 
I KNOW YOU ARE WORKING REALLY 
WELL WITH THE BUSINESSES. 
I GUESS I WAS THINKING ABOUT 
OUR COORDINATION WITH THE CITY. 
IF THERE ARE ANY REGULATIONS 
ABOUT BUSINESSES, IF THERE'S 
ANY ENFORCEMENT ISSUES, OR 
MESSAGING WHEN IT COMES TO 
PLAYGROUNDS, WHICH IS A LITTLE 
OUTSIDE OF YOUR WHEELHOUSE OR 
OTHER TYPES OF FACILITIES. 
ARE YOU WORKING JUST WITH 
BUSINESSES, OR WORKING WITH THE 
CITY AS WELL? 
>> WE ARE WORKING WITH ALL OF 
OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES TO ASSIST 
THEM, AS WELL AS COORDINATING 
WITH THE CITY ON THOSE EFFORTS. 
>> OKAY. 
ESTHER COUNTY IN MINISTRY, 
THANK YOU, CHRISTINA. 
IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO 
BETTER COORDINATE WITH THE CITY?
>> WITH BEEN WORKING VERY, VERY 
CLOSELY WITH THEM. 
IN FACT, ON THE DOG PARKS, FOR 
EXAMPLE, WAS SOMETHING THAT WE 
OPENED TOGETHER, THE SAME TIME. 
ALL OF OUR COMMUNICATIONS ABOUT 
THAT TOGETHER. 
IN KEEPING THE PLAYGROUNDS, 
JUST BECAUSE THESE ARE EXAMPLES 
WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, THAT 
CONTINUES TO BE IN ALIGNMENT 
WITH THE CITY, IN ALIGNMENT 
WITH OUR MESSAGING, BOTH FROM 
THE CITY AND WE ARE TALKING 
TOGETHER EVERYTHING ALL DAY IN 
VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS AND 
DIVISIONS. 
AS WELL AS BETWEEN MYSELF AND 
THE CITY MANAGER ON HOW WE ARE 
BOTH TRYING TO COORDINATE 
WHAT'S OPEN AND WAS CLOSE 
IMITATING CONSISTENCY THERE, AS 
WELL AS ALL OF OUR 
COMMUNICATIONS, EXTERNALLY TO 
THE COMMUNITY. 
>> OKAY. 
THANK YOU. 
THE VERY LAST THING I HAD IN MY 
NOTES, MR. CHAIR, WAS ABOUT THE 
DEFINITION OF INCREMENTAL, 
QUITE FRANKLY. 
JUST, WHEN WE CALL SPECIAL 
MEETINGS, I KNOW YOU AND THE 
COUNTY AND STRAIGHTER TEED THIS 
UP IN THE BEGINNING OF THE 
MEETING AND I JUST WONDERED IF 
WE NEEDED ANY ADDITIONAL 
CLARIFICATION, MY MEMORY IS ON 
THE 21st WAS THAT INCREMENTAL 
MEANT CHANGES IN BETWEEN A NEW 
PHASE. 
WE HAD A PARTIAL PHASE ONE, AND 
THEN WE HAD A FULL PHASE ONE. 
I ASSUMED THAT A NEW PHASE WAS 
GOING TO REQUIRE A SPECIAL 
MEETING, MAYBE OTHERS DID AS 
WELL? 
AND IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING IS 
INCREMENTAL UNTIL WE ARE BACK 
TO NORMAL. 
MR. COUNTY AND STRAIGHTER, I 
WONDERED IF YOU AND THE CHAIR 
NEEDED TO UNPACK THAT AT ALL? 
THAT WOULD BE THE END OF MY 
QUESTIONS, MR. CHAIR. 
>> SURE. 
AT THE BOARD LIKE TO PROVIDE 
FURTHER CLARIFICATION ON THAT, 
WE WOULD CERTAINLY WELCOME IT. 
WHAT WE TOOK FROM THAT WAS THAT 
THE BOARD WAS LEAVING AT TWO 
THE CHAIR, WHEN SUBSTANTIVE 
CHANGES CAME UP. 
AND THE WAY WE DO FIND THAT ARE 
THINGS THAT ARE PERHAPS NEW. 
WHEN A RESTAURANT GOES FROM A 
25% WITH 50% TO 75% THAT WOULD 
BE AN INCREMENTAL CHANGE. 
IF THE GOVERNOR SAYS THAT IT IS 
NOW A LOCAL DISCRETIONARY 
ISSUE, WHETHER IT'S THE LOCALS 
WANT TO AUTHORIZE THE OPENING 
OF VACATION RENTALS, THAT WOULD 
BE A SUBSTANTIAL MATTER, WHICH 
WE WOULD THEN BRING BACK TO THE 
BOARD FOR THAT. 
THAT WAS OUR INTERPRETATION OF 
IT, BUT AS I MENTIONED, WE ARE 
VERY HAPPY TO RECEIVE ANY 
FURTHER CLARIFICATION. 
>> OKAY. 
I'VE GOT A COUPLE COMMISSIONERS 
TDOT. 
COMMISSIONER DOZIER -- 
>> I KNOW. 
I WAS TRYING TO PACK IT IN AND 
GET A LOT OF INFORMATION FROM 
OUR STAFF HERE. 
I THINK A NEW PHASE REQUIRES A 
SPECIAL MEETING. 
THANK YOU. 
>> AND GOT COMMISSIONER MINOR, 
FOLLOWED BY COMMISSIONER 
MADDOX, FOLLOWED BY 
COMMISSIONER  JACKSON. 
COMMISSIONER MINOR. 
WE'VE GOT 10 MINUTES. 
GO AHEAD. 
>> VICKI MR. CHAIR, I WILL BE 
VIEWED  BRIEF. 
AT THE LAST MEETING, THE LAST 
COUNTY COMMISSION MEETING, I 
DID NOT HEAR THE FORM OF A 
MOTION BUT OFFERED IDEA WHERE 
WE COULD PERHAPS WORK WITH 
BUSINESSES TO POST BUSINESSES 
MASS GUIDELINES, CDC SAFETY 
GUIDELINES AND THEIR HERE'S TO 
THOSE GUIDELINES. 
WHERE WE COULD LIST THOSE 
BUSINESSES THE PUBLIC, SO THEY 
COULD VISIT THAT WEBPAGE AND 
MAKE THEIR OWN DECISION ON 
WHERE THEY WANT TO SHOP, WHERE 
THEY WANT TO EAT, BASED ON 
WHICH RESTAURANTS AND RETAIL 
ESTABLISHMENTS WHAT LEVEL OF 
GUIDELINES. 
SINCE THEN, I HEARD A BUSINESS 
LEADER IN THE COMMUNITY HAS IN 
WORKING ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
I HAVE NOT CONFIRMED THAT SO I 
DO WANT TO MENTION HER NAME. 
BUT I WANTED TO ASK CHRISTINA 
IF THERE'S ANY WORK ON THAT, OR 
PERHAPS ANY WORK WITH 
COLLABORATING WITH ANOTHER 
BUSINESS LEADER ON THAT TYPE OF 
WEBPAGE? 
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. 
>> CHRISTINA, DO YOU WANT TO 
WEIGH IN? 
>> COMMISSIONER, WE ARE PUTTING 
TOGETHER OUR THIRD ROUND OF 
SURVEYS FOR BUSINESSES, AND 
MOST SPECIFICALLY ASKING THEM 
ABOUT PROTOCOLS THEY PUT IN 
PLACE FOR THEIR BUSINESSES. 
AND THEN SEEKING THE PERMISSION 
TO POST THEIR NAME ON OUR 
WEBPAGE, FOLLOWING THOSE 
PROCEDURES. 
THAT SURVEY WILL BE RELEASED 
THIS WEEK. 
IT WILL RUN TYPICALLY FOR ABOUT 
A WEEK TO FIVE DAYS, AND WE 
WILL START MOVING TOWARDS THAT. 
>> AND WAS THE IDEA ONCE THOSE 
BUSINESSES ON THE WEBPAGE, TO 
THE COMMITTEE? 
>> YES, AND THAT WOULD INCLUDE 
MASK AND ALL PPE PROTOCOLS THAT 
THEY, WHAT THAT WE ARE TAKING 
TO ENSURE SOCIAL DISTANCING AND 
CLEANLINESS OF THEIR BUSINESS 
AND SANITATION TECHNIQUES AS 
WELL. 
ALL FOLLOWING LINE WITH THE 
PHASE TWO GUIDELINES THAT WE 
ARE RELEASING BY THE GOVERNOR. 
>> WOULD YOU MIND DOING US A 
FAVOR? 
ONCE IT IS READY, YOU HAVE THAT 
WEBPAGE PUT TOGETHER, DO YOU 
MIND EMAILING THE COMMISSIONERS 
BECAUSE I FOR ONE WOULD LIKE TO 
PROMOTE THAT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. 
>> ABSOLUTELY. 
>> GREAT, THANK YOU MR. CHAIR. 
>> ALL RIGHT, COMMISSIONER 
MADDOX, FALL BY COMMISSIONER 
MADDOX. 
>> I WILL BE BRIEF AS WELL. 
I'M ACTUALLY ON THE OPPOSITE 
SIDE OF COMMISSIONER DOZIER'S 
OPINION WHEN IT COMES TO THE 
SPECIAL MEETINGS. 
I BELIEVE STAFF ARE 
PRESENTATION OF STAFF MADE TO US
AT OUR PREVIOUS MEETING THAT WE 
ACCEPT AND WE CAME TO THE PLAN 
WAS PRETTY ROBUST AND WHAT 
THEIR PLANS WERE MOVING 
FORWARD. 
IS THAT CORRECT? 
>> EXCUSE ME, I'M SORRY. 
I DID NOT CATCH THE LAST PART 
OF THAT. 
>> THE PLAN THAT YOU GUYS 
SHARED WITH US AT THE LAST 
MEETING AND CONCLUDED ON FACES 
ARE NOT WHAT YOUR PLANS WERE 
MOVING FORWARD. 
>> AGAIN, IN ADDITION, ANYTHING 
THAT WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE 
ANTICIPATED PHASING WOULD BE 
WOULD OBVIOUSLY BE SOMETHING -- 
>> I THINK THAT WHILE WE ARE 
TRYING TO DEFINE INCREMENTAL, I 
THINK IF THERE'S ANY STAFF 
PLANS TO CHANGE ANY PART OF 
WHAT THEY PRESENTED TO US, AT 
THAT POINT, AND TO COME BACK TO 
US FOR REVIEW. 
IF THERE'S NO CHANGE TO 
ANYTHING THEY WANT TO BRING 
FORWARD, I DON'T SEE A REASON 
FOR US TO CALL A MEETING. 
I THINK THE PLAN THEY PUT 
FORWARD WAS WELL THOUGHT OUT, 
IT HIT ALL THE RIGHT BOXES, I 
THINK WE ALL FEEL LIKE IT WAS 
SAFE. 
AND THAT IT WAS SOMETHING WE 
COULD ALL PUT OUR NAMES BEHIND. 
SO, I WOULD JUST SAY TO THE 
FOLKS THEY CALL THESE EMERGENCY 
MEETINGS, I DON'T SEE A REASON 
FOR US TO COME TOGETHER AND 
HAVE THIS CONVERSATION. 
THAT'S MY THINKING. 
>> OKAY. 
COMMISSIONER JACKSON. 
>> I WILL BE EVEN MORE BRIEF 
THAN YOU, COMMISSIONER MADDOX. 
I CANNOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE. 
IF IT'S NOT SUBSTANTIAL, MR. 
CHAIR, AND IT'S NOT LIKE A 
PHASE 2A, OR FACE TO BE, 
SOMETHING THAT'S ESSENTIALLY 
CHANGES WHAT WE ARE DOING, I 
HAVE THE UTMOST OF FAITH IN THE 
STAFF TO SHARE THAT WITH US IN 
A WAY THAT'S APPROPRIATE. 
AND THEN GO FROM THERE. 
I CANNOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE. 
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER MADDOX, 
AND THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. 
>> CAN WE HAVE A MOTION, MR. 
CHAIR. 
IN ORDER FOR THAT TO BE THE WAY 
WE MOVE FORWARD, WOULD YOU NEED 
DIRECTION FROM US TO DO THAT? 
>> I DON'T THINK SO, 
COMMISSIONER. 
I THINK THAT BOTH THINGS, 
LEAVING THE DISCUSSION WITH THE 
CHAIRMAN ON ANY ISSUES THAT ARE 
INCREMENTAL, TO PERPETUATE 
THOSE IN THE COUNTY'S PLAN, AND 
ALIGNMENT WITH THE STATES 
PLANS, THE DIRECTION WE ARE 
OPERATING UNDER, AND TO GIVE 
THE ABILITY TO CALL A SPECIAL 
MEETING, IF THERE WERE 
SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES OR ISSUES 
THAT WERE NOT, THAT'S WORKING 
WITH THE ASSUMPTION WE ARE 
GOING UNDER, BUT OBVIOUSLY, 
AGAIN, OPEN TO ANY OTHER 
DIRECTION YOU MAY HAVE. 
>> OKAY, THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. 
>> ABSOLUTELY. 
I HAVE A MOTION MADE EARLIER BY 
COMMISSIONER MADDOX, SECONDED 
BY COMMISSIONER JACKSON, IF I'M 
EVER CORRECTED. 
ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION 
THAT'S BEEN PRESENTED SIGNIFY 
BY SAYING AYE.  
>> AYE. 
>> ANY OPPOSITION?  
OKAY, AND I'VE GOT COMMISSIONER 
PROCTOR WANTED TO SPEAK, I 
UNDERSTAND. 
COMMISSIONER PROCTOR? 
I THINK IT WAS 70, WAS THERE 
ANYBODY DISSENTING ON THAT 
MOTION? 
ONSTAR, COMMISSIONER DOZIER. 
ANYBODY ELSE? 
I THINK COMMISSIONER PROCTOR, 
ARE YOU WITH THE MOTION OR 
AGAINST IT? 
>> YES HER, I WAS ON BOARD. 
>> THANK YOU. 
THE MOTION CARRIED 6-1. 
COMMISSIONER PROCTOR, THE FLOOR 
IS YOURS. 
>> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE 
MOTION WE EXTEND THIS MEETING 
TO GIVE US CAPACITY TO GO 15 
MINUTES, SO THAT THE THREE 
POINTS I WANTED TO OFFER 
ANTICIPATING NEXT WEEK'S MEETING
GO REAL FAST AS WELL. 
>> YOU'VE GOT SIX MINUTES, GO 
FOR IT, HOW ABOUT THAT? 
>> I WANTED TO ASK IF STAFF 
COULD BRING BACK ON NEXT 
TUESDAY'S MEETING THE 
SUPERVISOR ELECTIONS BUILDING 
IS LEAKING PROFUSELY, I WAS 
THERE. 
I TOURED IT THIS MORNING. 
RAIN IS COMING DOWN GALLONS AND 
GALLONS OF EQUIPMENT, AND I 
WOULD MAKE A MOTION FOR REPORT 
ON IMMEDIATE NEED TO GET THAT 
BUILDING FIXED, IF THAT 
EQUIPMENT IS SO MOVED. 
>> I DUNNO WE NEED A MOTION, 
COMMISSIONER PROCTOR. 
BUT I THINK THE STAFF IS 
ALLOWED TO CLEAR. 
OKAY. 
GO AHEAD. 
>> OKAY. 
I WAS THERE THIS MORNING, I 
WALKED THE BUILDING AND HEARD 
THEM SAYING MR. CHAIRMAN, I 
READ IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT THE 
GREENWAY HAS A GRAVEYARD AND I 
WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE STAFF TO 
TELL US IN OUR NEXT MEETING THE 
STORY I READ ON SUNDAY, 
EATURING MISS GLORIA ABNER 
SEND THAT THERE IS A GRAVEYARD 
UNDERNEATH A PART OF THE 
GREENWAY. 
WHAT'S BURIED OUT THERE, AND 
WHAT THE STATUS IS OF THAT? 
>> CAN WE ASK MAYBE NOT NEXT 
WEEK, BUT TO GET A REPORT BACK? 
I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS, THAT'S A 
QUICK TURNAROUND OF SOMETHING 
THAT'S PROBABLY IN PROCESS. 
FOR THE AGENDA FOR OUR NEXT 
WEEK IS ALREADY OUT, MR. 
PROCTOR. 
I THINK IT'S A FAIR ASK, IT'S 
JULY 14th, IS THAT OKAY, MR. 
PROCTOR? 
>> ANYTHING ANYBODY'S GOING TO 
GET UP AND LEAVE BEFORE THEN. 
>> I WILL SECOND THAT. 
>> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A 
SECOND. 
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT A 
REPORT ON JULY THE 14th, 
RELATIVE TO THE POTENTIAL 
GRAVEYARD ON THE GREENWAY, 
SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.  
>> AYE.  
>> ANY OPPOSITION? 
OKAY. 
ONE MORE. 
>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. 
RICK KEARNEY AND HIS BEING 
REIMBURSED, CAN I PLEASE GET A 
STATUS OF THAT, AND THE 
EMERGENCY MONEY THAT THEY ARE 
SPONSORING FOR SO MANY HOMELESS 
PEOPLE TO BE TAKEN CARE OF 
DURING COVID, MY FINAL COMMENT. 
>> OKAY. 
IS THAT FROM A TIMING 
STANDPOINT, THE AGENDA IS OUT 
FOR NEXT WEEK.  
MR. MINISTER, I DON'T KNOW WHAT 
THE TIMELINE IS AS FAR AS BEING 
ABLE TO ANSWER SOME OF MY 
COMPANY 
>> I WILL ACCEPT IN AND HIM, 
I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS ADDENDUM'S 
IN YEARS PAST. 
I DID THEM IS FINE. 
>> IT COULD BE MADE ALSO, THE 
BOARD DOESN'T HAVE TO TAKE 
ACTION ALSO IS PROVIDED IN AN 
EMAIL. 
>> OKAY. 
WITHOUT THE SENSIBLE, 
COMMISSIONER PROCTOR? 
>> IF YOU PUT ON THE SHEET OF 
PAPER, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. 
>> OKAY. 
DO WE HAVE A MOTION? 
I WOULD SECOND THAT. 
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT? 
ALL IN FAVOR OF GETTING SOME 
INFORMATION BACK ON WHERE RICK 
CARNEY'S STATUSES RELATIVE TO 
SOME OF THE HOMELESS FUNDS HE 
HAS SPENT, SIGNIFY BY SAYING 
AYE.  
>> AYE. 
>> ANY OPPOSITION?  
OKAY. 
ALL RIGHT, BY MY WATCH IT'S 
4:28. 
ANYTHING ELSE, COMMISSIONER 
MINOR? 
>> YES, REALLY QUICKLY. 
JUST WANTED TO OFFER 
CONDOLENCES TO FORMER SENATE 
PRESIDENT GLENN MARGOLIS WHO 
PASSED AWAY, FIRST WOMAN SENATE 
PRESIDENT IN FLORIDA HISTORY 
BUT ALSO WANT TO CONGRATULATE 
PCC FOR BEING ONE OF 10 
FINALISTS FOR THE ASPEN PRICE. 
THAT'S A BIG DEAL. 
AND THEN, ALSO WANTED TO OFFER 
BEST WISHES FOR A SPEEDY 
RECOVERY FOR COMMISSIONER 
DOZIER. 
>> GOOD. 
COMMISSIONER MADDOX. 
>> MR. CHAIR, THE COUNTY 
ATTORNEY WAS ACTUALLY IN A 
MEETING WITH ME WITH THE 
CANVASSING BOARD. 
I DID ALL SHE WANTED TO BRING 
IT UP TODAY, BUT THE CANVASSING 
BOARD WAS ASKING FOR THE 
COUNTY'S ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO 
REPRESENT THE LEGAL COUNCIL FOR 
THE CANVASSING BOARD.  
THAT SEVERED FROM LEGAL COUNCIL 
FOR  THE ACTUAL SUPERVISOR 
ELECTION. 
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO 
BRING IT UP TODAY, BUT I KNOW 
-- 
>> GO AHEAD, YES. 
>> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER 
MADDOX. 
IT DID CIRCULATE IN A 
MEMORANDUM YESTERDAY TO THE 
BOARD, WASN'T SURE IF I'LL GET 
A CHANCE TODAY, BUT I DID WANT 
TO BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD 
ON JUNE 16th TO REQUEST 
RATIFICATION OF THE SHORT-TERM 
ACTION TO UNDERTAKE THE 
REPRESENTATION OF THE 
CANVASSING BOARD THAT HAS BEEN 
REQUESTED, AND SEEK 
AUTHORIZATION TO PROVIDE A 
REPRESENTATION GOING FOR ME 
>> COMMISSIONER MADDOX, IS A 
FORM OF EMOTION THAT WE ACCEPT? 
>> AT IS ONE OF THE BOARD TO 
UNDERSTAND REALLY QUICK. 
THE MOTION TODAY IS JUST FOR 
REPRESENTATION ON THIS SIDE OF 
THE CANVASSING BOARD. 
AND AS FOR REPRESENTATION ON A 
LONGER BASIS, LATER, WE ARE IN 
A POSITION RIGHT NOW WHERE ANY 
REPRESENTATION PRETTY QUICKLY, 
THIS IS JUST FOR THIS PORTION 
OF THE CYCLE OF THE CANVASSING 
BOARD, ASKING FOR THE COUNTY 
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO REPRESENT 
US. 
>> I SECOND THE MOTION. 
>> OF MOTION, WE GOT A SECOND, 
GOOD MOTION, THANK YOU FOR 
GETTING INFORMATION OUT. 
ALL IN FAVOR -- 
>> MR. CHAIRMAN. 
I WOULD LIKE THAT TO BE 
TEMPORARY. 
THERE ARE SOME ISSUES WITH THIS 
GOVERNOR GAVIN DRAGGING HIS 
FEET, ON WHICH I THINK THE 
COUNTY ATTORNEY ARE NOT TO BE 
INVOLVED WITH. 
OUR SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS AS 
THE VICE PRESIDENT OF FLORIDA 
SUPERVISORS ASSOCIATION. 
I WROTE THE GOVERNOR A LETTER 
YESTERDAY BECAUSE 67 COUNTY 
SUPERVISORS HAVE NOT GOTTEN THE 
GOVERNOR'S COOPERATION WITH 
RESPECT TO WHAT THEY ARE ASKING 
FOR, TO HAVE ORDERLY, FAIR 
LEGAL, AND I JUST WANTED TO 
MAKE SURE THAT COMMISSIONER 
MADDOX, WHO SERVED ON THE 
CANVASSING BOARD, I THINK THE 
CANVASSING BOARD NEEDS TO GET 
THEIR OWN LAWYER. 
AND OUR LAWYER SHOULD NOT BE 
THERE LAWYER, PERIOD. 
>> THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE 
DOING. 
I'M SORRY, THE SUPERVISOR OF 
ELECTIONS HAS AN ATTORNEY. 
OUR ATTORNEY IS NOT HIS 
ATTORNEY. 
WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO IS 
HAVE OUR OWN ATTORNEY AND NOT 
BE REP PRESENTED BY THE SAME 
ATTORNEY OF THE SUPERVISOR OF 
ELECTIONS. 
WHAT WE ARE ASKING IS FOR THE 
COUNTY ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT 
THE CANVASSING BOARD, NOT THE 
SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS. 
BECAUSE ALL WE'RE DOING IS 
CERTIFYING BOTH, THE SUPERVISOR 
OF ELECTIONS AS A WHOLE 
DIFFERENT FUNCTION, MUCH MORE 
INTO IT. 
MUCH OF THE LOSS OF THAT'S 
GOING ON HAS ANYTHING TO DO 
WITH SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS 
AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE 
CANVASSING BOARD. 
>> SO THE LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST 
THE SUPERVISOR YESTERDAY, IS 
THAT AGAINST THE CANVASSING 
BOARD OR AGAINST THE SUPERVISOR 
SEPARATE? 
>> IT IS LISTED IN THE LAWSUIT 
BUT WHAT JUDGE AIKEN SAID AND I 
AGREE WITH IS THAT OUR INTEREST 
IS MUCH DIFFERENT THAN A 
SUPERVISORS INTEREST IN OUR 
ROLE. 
>> OKAY. 
I WITHDRAW AND UNDERSTAND THAT. 
I UNDERSTAND THAT. 
>> YOU WANT TO CLARIFY THAT? 
>> JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, THE 
CASE THAT THE CANVASSING BOARD 
HAS BEEN ADDED TO, ALONG WITH 
ALL THE OTHER CANVASSING BOARDS 
IN THE STATE WAS INITIALLY 
FILED BACK IN APRIL. THE 
COMPLAINT WAS AMENDED TO 
INCLUDE THE CANVASSING BOARD, 
BUT THAT IS SEPARATE AND APART 
FROM ONE OF THE RECENT, THIS 
ANOTHER LWSUIT THAT'S BEEN 
FILED WERE SUPERVISORS OF 
ELECTIONS ARE ALSO PARTIES AND 
THAT I BE WHAT COMMISSIONER 
PROCTOR IS REFERRING TO. 
THAT'S A DIFFERENT CASE. 
>> WE ARE NOT INVOLVED IN THAT 
ONE. 
>> OKAY. 
PERFECTLY WE HAVE A MOTION, WE 
HAVE A SECOND ALL IN FAVOR, 
SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.  
ANY OPPOSITION TO THE MOTION, 
AS PRESENTED? 
OKAY. 
COMMISSIONER DOZIER AND WE WILL 
WIND THIS THING DOWN. 
WHAT'S UP? 
YOU'VE GOT YOUR HAND UP. 
>> YES, MR. CHAIR. 
I WAS ALREADY NEEDED THERE. 
I KNOW WE ARE FOCUSED ON PHASE 
TWO AND WE MAY HAVE MORE 
DISCUSSION ABOUT OTHER ISSUES 
THAT ARE GOING ON NEXT WEEK, 
BUT I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS 
ABOUT THE CURFEW THAT WAS PUT 
IN PLACE FOR THE PROTESTS AND 
HOW WE ARTICULATE THAT. 
I UNDERSTAND IT EXPIRED 
YESTERDAY, MR. CHAIR. 
THERE WAS A FEW OTHER ISSUES 
PUT ON THE TABLE. 
I WILL GET THROUGH THIS VERY 
QUICKLY. 
THERE ARE ALSO DISCUSSIONS 
HAPPENING IN THE CITY ABOUT 
CITIZEN REVIEW BOARDS. 
THEY HAVE REFERENCED THE 
SHERIFF DEPARTMENT, THE COUNTY, 
AND I DON'T WANT TO PUT THEM ON 
THE SPOT. 
I TRY TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE 
SHERIFF BEFORE TODAY'S MEETING. 
I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM HIM, 
HEAR ANY THOUGHTS THAT SHERIFF 
McNEIL HAS, AND OUR CORE NAVY 
EFFORTS, WE HAVE NOT HEARD 
DIRECTLY FROM HIM. 
HE'S BEEN DOING AN EXCEPTIONAL 
JOB, I THINK, AND COORDINATING 
WITH OUR EOC FOLKS. 
I WOULD LIKE TO, IF ANY SEVERE 
MOTION, MR. COUNTY 
ADMINISTERED, AT LEAST EXTEND 
AN INVITATION TO THE SHERIFF TO 
JOIN US NEXT WEEK AT THE 
MEETING FOR A BRIEF 
PRESENTATION SO WE CAN TALK 
THROUGH SOME OF THESE ISSUES. 
>> MR. CHAIRMAN, THANK YOU. 
AND COMMISSIONER, IF IT IS THE 
WILL OF THE BOARD, I THINK THE 
MOTION WOULD BE APPROPRIATE IF 
YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE 
SHERIFF TO COME TO A 
PRESENTATION AT THE NEXT 
MEETING. 
>> WITHOUT BE ABLE TO ANSWER 
THE MAJORITY OF YOUR QUESTIONS 
COMMISSIONER DOZIER? 
>> OBSOLETE. 
WE WANT TO UNPACK IT NOW BUT WE 
DON'T HAVE ANOTHER MEETING FOR 
A MONTH AFTER NEXT WEEK. 
THIS IS THE ONLY OPPORTUNITY. 
>> THE MOTION IS CALLED THE 
SHERIFF COME BY AND GIVE US AN 
EFFECTIVE STATUS REPORT TO 
INCLUDE THE EFFECTIVENESS AND 
PARAMETERS AND CERTAINLY WITH 
THE CITIZEN BOARD AND CITY 
PROPOSED, VALID MOTION, SOUNDS 
FAIR TO ME. 
I WOULD SECOND THAT. 
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? 
>> DISCUSSION, MR. CHAIRMAN. 
>> YES, MR. PROCTOR? 
>> I WOULD JUST ASK 
COMMISSIONER DOZIER, I'M NOT 
TRYING TO SEE WHAT YOU ARE 
LAYING OUT, BUT CAN YOU LET US 
KNOW ARE YOU LOOKING AHEAD, 
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AHEAD TO 
THE SHERIFF ANSWERING ABOUT AN 
INDEPENDENT, ARE YOU ASKING HIS 
OFFICE TO ESTABLISH THE SAME? 
>> IT WAS REFERENCED, MR. 
CHAIR, IF YOU DON'T MIND. 
I WILL MAKE IT QUICK. 
THE CITY COMMISSION MEETING 
LAST WEEK, THERE WAS REFERENCE 
MADE TO A CITIZEN'S REVIEW BOARD
, EXTENDING TO COVER TPD AND 
THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, AND THEY 
REFERENCED COUNTY APPOINTMENTS 
TO THAT BOARD. 
I'VE TALKED TO THE COUNTY 
ADMINISTRATOR ABOUT THIS, I 
UNDERSTAND THERE'S NOTHING 
FORMAL FROM THE CITY YET. 
BUT WE ARE IN A DIFFERENT 
POSITION. 
THE SHERIFF'S INDEPENDENT 
ELECTED. 
SO, I THINK THAT IS ONE 
QUESTION I WOULD NOT MIND 
HEARING DIRECTLY FROM HIM, HIS 
PERSPECTIVE ON THAT. 
AND GIVEN THE PROTESTS, I THINK 
IT'S FAIR TO SAY THE REALLY 
AMAZINGLY I COMMUNITY HAS 
RESPONDED TO THESE CHALLENGES. 
THOSE WHO MESA FOR THE PROTEST 
OF THOSE MAY NOT, IT'S A GOOD 
TIME TO GET A CHECK IN WITH THE 
SHERIFF. 
YUMA COUNTY MISREAD IT, PLEASE 
LET HER KNOW I GOT SOME MORE 
QUESTIONS IN ADDITION TO WHAT 
COMMISSIONER DOZIER IS ASKING. 
I DO HAVE SOME OTHER QUESTIONS 
AS WELL. 
>> OKAY. 
THE MOTION IS BASICALLY TO HAVE 
THE SHERIFF COME BY, THAT 
PROBABLY A LOT WILL CHANGE 
BETWEEN NOW AND THEN AND GIVE 
US AN UPDATE, HOW DOES THAT? 
>> IS SENDING THE INVITATION. 
>> WE WILL EXTEND THE 
INVITATION. 
ASSUMING HE CAN MAKE IT, WE 
WILL TO HAPPEN, HOW ABOUT THAT? 
ALL IN FAVOR OF THE SHERIFF 
COMING TO THE NEXT MEETING AS 
SCHEDULED, SIGNIFY BY SAYING 
AYE?  
>> AYE.  
>> ANY OPPOSITION? 
AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, WE HAVE 
HAD THE HARD STOP. 
I APOLOGIZE WE WENT A LITTLE 
LONGER, THE MEETING WAS 
DESIGNED TO BASICALLY UNPACK 
THE REOPENING PHASE WE ARE IN 
NOW. 
WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO GO 
AHEAD AND ADJOURN THE MEETING. 
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME, BE 
SAFE, STAY DRY. 
THANK YOU.
