Thank you. Yes. There's companies that are making them now. Thank you. And the board. Thank you. So, my time, As you can see, this is, I've taken a picture of the email off from my computer, which is in the background. This is a copy of the same email. I've printed it off so you can see it clear. So this is what I want to bring your attention to. This is a copy that he attached to the email, starting with the header, as you see. This is the fake email that was brought to me at a meeting that I had with George Weinstead and a few of the others. As you can see, there's a difference in the time. This is 7 .23 a.m. Thank you, sir. Yes, of course, I run out of time. Good morning. Good morning, Mike Casey. I've been having an ongoing problem with code enforcement. This is a pamphlet of almost up to date of what's been going on. It started back in March 11th. It took five months for them to finally get around to doing something until I finally came back another time. I made an appointment with Mr. Terry and code enforcement. I started talking to him and then he said, "Let me get Art ," which is his head guy. Then I told Mr. Terry, "Well, that's the guy that hung the phone up on me last time I talked to him." Art got mad at me and blamed me for his incompetence. Art came in and I asked Mr. Terry if I could talk to Art and try and treat this out. So we did. And he said he'd get around to doing something. Well, he didn't. So a week went by. Another week went by. And I went back to code …

Yes. Before you today is a proposed settlement in case 21-CC1454 , which also involves a settlement of a related circuit court case. But this is particularly under 21-CC1454. The board has been briefed on it in executive session, and it is now time to entertain any action on it, which means approval or denial. Thank you, sir. Okay. We're on C2. Commissioner Champion.

Thank you. Yes, if it's the Board's pleasure, I'd like to move the reading of Chapter 10 to the last item of the agenda in order to afford the petitioner requesting the Class D split the opportunity to be heard earlier and not have to wait as we go through the entire chapter. Thank you. I just want to make sure. New schools are in the school district. And the means by the means by the means by the means by the schools. And the way we're in the way, and the way we're in the same person. Development Services staff. So I'm going to read the names out loud and I apologize if I missed one.

I absolutely want to commend the associates over there. I know some of them were working some mandatory weekends and I recently spent, had the privilege of spending some time over there and talking to various staff members. And I couldn't be more impressed by so many team members' dedication to what they're doing and working on. And, you know, as Tyler and different technologies are implemented over there, that's always extremely difficult, you know, for like at least six months typically. So to see people, you know, we've lost a few people in the process and that's always unfortunate in those type of circumstances. But to see people stepping up left and right and really caring about their work, it's really …

Thank you. Chairman, no changes to the agenda. Thank you, sir. Thank you. This morning we're going to be presenting a check, which again, always happy to talk about money coming to the county, for the Brooksville-Tampa Bay Regional Airport taxi way and infrastructure project. So in the state budget this year, Hernanum County is receiving $750,000 to help with our match portion for $13.6 million we're actually going to be receiving federally for our taxiway and infrastructure project. Just a little bit background on this project. These funds will be used to rehabilitate the airport's in active runway into an active taxiway and extend water and sewer utilities across the airport's infield. Together, these critical infrastructure improvements will create development-ready sites capable of attracting new aviation, aerospace, advanced manufacturing, and other high -value economic development projects. This would not have been accomplished without the incredible work of our team moving forward with grants. I want to quickly thank Valerie Piazza, Steve Miller from the airport and economic development, as well as our procurement and grants team. We have Carla Roster-Smith, Aaron Briggs, and also Casey Stepp. They really came together to make this project happen, but this would have never happened, and we would have never received these dollars without our great legislators. We have Representative Jeff Holcomb from District 53 here today. We will be doing a check presentation here in …

This is something, this is I'm in the airport, no I'm in the car, I'm in the car, mode. In fact, when I found out through public record that she did, I didn't approach them. I didn't say anything. I waited for you guys to hear my side and hopefully you agree with me. That's all I got. All right. Thank you, sir. Take a seat. We'll now open the floor to public comment. Anyone here to speak for or against the application, please make your way forward. As you come forward, please go ahead and state your name, spell your last name, and state whether you've been sworn. Good morning. My name is Adriana Probus, PRO, BUS, and yes, I've been sworn this morning. I am the adjacent neighbor to this gentleman here. And I do not agree with some of the facts that he's presenting you. We live right to the left of this diagram here. And when he first moved in a few years ago, he said, I'm building a pole barn and whatever he desires to build is fine with us. You know, great. We have a new neighbor. It was an empty lot at the time. Now we have a massive building there, which whatever he does with is fine, but it's only about 16 feet away from our fence line in the back. Now, then he introduced the helicopters coming in, and I did send you some media so you can be aware of how bothersome that is to us and how dangerous it is to our grandkids who frequent …

Thank you. All right. Thank you. So if I put the building there where my house is at, it leaves about, from what I recall, I think it's 12 feet from my house. We're just trying to get a little bit more room off the house with that four feet. I'm actually going to be storing like a couple of cars in there is what it is. And that leaves me enough room to get around the back of my house with a car to get into the other side. So that's the only reason that the four feet that we're asking for is just to literally just kind of get it off the house just a little bit. The easement actually goes up like it's almost halfway into my backyard. By the time you measure it out, it sits quite a bit and it really pushes that building up. So that's why we're asking for the four feet and just trying to scoot it back off the house just a little bit to get a little bit more room. But it definitely, like I said, doesn't prevent any kind of lake maintenance because you could never get to it. To the left of me, the property owner to the side of me is where the actual opening is that they would be able to get to the waterway. Past my property is even more heavily wooded with the neighbors and it continues along that you'd never be able to get anything back through there. Anything further before we go to Commissioner questions? I have nothing further. You're welcome. Okay. Thank you, sir. Commissioner champion. Thank you. If you just stay up here, sir. Okay. So the rear of your property, you said ther …

County staff has required in one of their conditions to pave Richmond Road as the reverse frontage road for the property. There were some concerns about interfering with an existing frontage road for this property right here at the top. There was a variance that allowed for frontage road here. But because it's now part of the parcel, I don't think there's going to be any interconnectivity issues. All that the applicant is asking for is to …
