CITIZEN QUESTION AND COMMENT PERIOD Mr.
Vance Jochim, a resident of Tavares who writes a blog called
FiscalRangers.com, stated that he was concerned about the transfer of
$715,110 from reserves to fund Medicaid Hospital and Health Care
Responsibility Act payments. He noted
that there was no description of what the original budget was or an explanation
as to why there was not enough money budgeted and expressed that there was
not a disciplined management process in place. He suggested that the Board create two
separate reserve funds to cover emergencies and the other to cover unbudgeted
items. He mentioned that the Board
should educate themselves on a theory called Agenda 21, as it would shift the
Constitution away from the right of the individual to the importance of the
community. He then commented that
there was a pattern of adding addendums to the agendas and noted that those
addendums were not published on the website.
He encouraged the Board to not add addendums to every meeting. ***** Mr.
Gary Miller, President of the Yalaha Community Club, expressed his concerns
regarding Tab 4 stating that he was in strong opposition of having the
funding for their community center taken away. He related that their community center was
torn down in 2008 and that they have worked hard on getting a new center for
their community. ***** Ms.
Angela Kahan, Secretary of the Yalaha Community Club, addressed the Board in
regards to Tab 4 stating that the community center project had been ongoing
since 2005 and that the project could have already been built if they had
received the funding. ***** Mr.
Elliott Jones, a citizen of Yalaha, expressed concern about Tab 4 stating
that their community needed a community center since their old one was torn
down and because the children had no where to go. He opined that those funds should be spent
in Yalaha. ***** Mr.
Tyrell Kahan, a resident of Yalaha, addressed the Board in regards to Tab 4
explaining that the Community Development Block Grant regulations required
that a substantial amendment must be advertised in the local newspaper and
the public should be given a 30 day notice for public comment. He noted that although they may have missed
the ad, they should have been directly notified that the funds were being
reprogrammed for another project. He
added that they had been in constant contact with County staff over the past
few months so there had been ample time to be notified of that change. |
