Board of County Commissioners Workshop
📹 From the video · 2h 7m
Auto-transcribed from the official meeting video (speech-to-text — may contain errors).
Budget workshop, August 20th, 2026. We will go right into public comment. This portion of the agenda is designed to allow citizens an opportunity to bring matters to the attention of the board. At this time, the board will not engage in debate or answer questions. You may email askclay at claycountygov.com and staff will address your questions or you may email your district commissioner. Public comment cards are conveniently placed at the meeting room entrance and should be submitted to the clerk on the far left of the dais. You are to limit your comments to three minutes before addressing the board. Please state your name and address. Now I'd like to open the first public comment period at today's meeting. I have Brian Lugo first. If you'd like to come up. Good morning. My name is Brian Lugo. I live in Keystone Heights. The issue that I would like to address is not whether the stormwater work deserves funding. It obviously does. It's whether the budget, the 2026-27 budget assumes approval of an assessment not voted on until August 25th and whether that assessment. Adds capacity or merely shifts existing costs to property owners. I've sent a list of questions to one clay or ask clay whatever. And I'd like to get answers back on to those questions since I can't ask them here. The county projects approximately 9.24 million and annual assessment revenue. Does the proposed budget recognize it or assume adoption of the stormwater assessment charges if the assessment changes are. F …

Anybody have discussion or issues with the minutes from last month? They included all the scoring sheets. Okay, I need a motion. I hear first. Second? I'll second. Okay, all in favor. Aye. Okay, motion's passed. That was quick, unanimous. And then as a quick aside from the last meeting, a couple things we learned. We're getting better as we go. A couple things I learned. I cannot make motions. So we learned that one in real time. I've since been told I cannot vote unless it's to tie break . So another thing we've learned. And then Dodie was, and tell me if I'm wrong on any of these, but the lawyer had said that. Or maybe Ramesh said it. I think Ramesh said it because our others, you vote. I can. Oh, yes. Great. Okay. Yeah, like the Planning Commission and, you know, all of our other committees do. So yes, you definitely. Awesome. I like that even better. Yeah. And then the one Dodie did tell me, we had sort of shuffled our voting on the parcels based on score. We're going to go with the agendas from now on and never go out of order on the agenda. So we've learned a couple things going forward. Dodie, do you have anything off the top for us before we get going? No. No, I do not. I mean, I'm sorry that we had the doors locked. I just want to apologize for that because I'm not sure how that happened. But thank you to the d …
