Village Community Development District No. 1 (2026-08-14)

Here, right? You do see me moving? Right. We will call the Village Community Development District Number 1 meeting to order. It's August the 14th, 2026, and it looks like we have four of five supervisors present. So at this time, we will stand for the pledge of allegiance, followed by a moment of silence. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. Okay, so at this time, we will welcome our meeting attendees, and if you have something to say to the board, please come to the podium, give us your name and address for the record, and then give us your comments. And please walk around to the side and try not to go over the cords there in front of the camera. All right. Thank you. Good morning. Thank you for allowing me to speak. Bob Brightman, 730 Cimarron Avenue. Lady Chair Del Sol. I'm unable to track consistently the voting and the approvals of the two-foot extensions on either side of Morris Boulevard proposed through the AAC on the county roadway. One of the comments I did see was potentially putting roadway markings down to create a buffer in that area. I have tremendous traffic safety certifications in traffic engineering in my career. I do recommend that if that's a consideration, it does not currently fit within the Federal Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices that's also passed down through Florida Department of Transportation. What I do recommend at this time is working with the county. It does not require an engineering report. We have plenty of those. But working with the county to determine whether or not those roadway markings can be placed with roadway reflective markers if that wants to be included in a temporary project, a one-year project. If it's built, that will allow for those roadway markings to be approved temporarily as a test. I've done that successfully in the state of New Jersey. I've left the mark in the Federal Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices. It's accepted after the study, and it was functional. It's just a recommendation. It's low cost, but if it is pursued, if that's already in pocket, it allows for the project to move on affordably and safely. Thank you. Thank you, Mr Brightman. Yes, ma'am. Good morning. My name is Leslie Healy. I live in the Villa Marbella community. My address is 1196 Cadiz Terrace. And thank you for this meeting, and thank you for adding our request to your agenda. Our request is to add lighting to the walls to the entry of the community. And as a community member now living here permanently, it really is a safety hazard. It's a safety concern for us because oftentimes, especially at night, it's very easy to just drive right by that, and then all of a sudden you're slamming on your brake. And Morris Boulevard is a very well-traversed road, and it's like a main artery for this community. And it becomes quite the hazard when doing something like that, and I get very concerned. So we would appreciate you considering putting those lights in. And thank you. Thank you, Ms. Healy. Yes, ma'am. Good morning. My name is Diane Schofield, and I live at 1223 Cadiz Terrace in the same subdivision, Marbella Villas. And we're really excited to think that you guys would work with us to get those lights out front. We've had a couple of scared factors that when we tried to pull into our subdivision coming down Morris Boulevard directly in front of where we would turn into our subdivision, it's just one way in and one way out. There is a merge lane. So people are speeding up in that merge lane, and then I would have to slam on my brakes and pray I'm not killing -- So we've realized it. We've been there two years and really would appreciate some of your help with that. Thank you, Ms. Schofield. Thank you. Good morning, Board District One. My name is Jim Cipollone. I live at 2162 Madeira Drive. I'm a District 2 supervisor. I don't mean to interrupt your meeting, but there's a couple things we have in common with both District 1 and District 2. Number one, there seems to be an uproar among the residents about Airbnbs. The villages, when they made these deed restrictions and covenants 30 years ago, Airbnb didn't exist at that particular time. There needs to be, and collectively, something you don't tell a developer what to do, but you ask them or to Take into consideration that these short-term rentals are no good. The lady directly across the street from me complained about the house next door to her, that they had a party. It was going on till 2:30 in the morning. She said she didn't sleep. Now, the guy that owned the place inherited it from his uncle, and he lives down in Dunedin. But he don't have it anymore. He rents that house long-term rental to responsible, respectable people. Now, that's not in the village's plan to have something that is harmonious with the neighborhood, to have short-term rentals. You don't know who's there. There's three, four families sometimes rent them places for a weekend to have parties. But that should not be allowed because we have a development here for retired people and something that trend of thought should be maintained in the villages. I'm asking you guys to put that into consideration because collectively, maybe we can go to developer and say, "Look, we cannot live with Airbnbs the way they are." You can't restrict the sale of a house. Anybody can buy a house. There's a lot of money around. There's people, they buy houses for investment purposes. But they buy them houses to make a profit, and they rent them for weekends or a week at a time. They're not long-term rental, and they don't screen the people that come into them places. That's one of them. The other issue is, and I don't mean to take any of your time, there's a common lake between District 1 and District 2. Now, we only had one complaint, and the one complaint was that the guy had enough nerve to get up and complain about people coming in and fishing or walking through his property to go to the lake. Now, we maintain that property down to the lake shore, but the problem with the lake is that there's people coming in. You know, they can be pernicious people. They go fishing there. Now, it's a two-edged sword. If you put signs up and say, "No trespassing," or, "You're not allowed to fish in that lake," what happens is we're not allowed to go there either. So you need to take that into consideration whether that should be something that you say, "Let's put a sign up and that nobody can go in the lake," or you put "No trespassing" signs up there where they just don't walk through people's property to go to that lake or the district property. Because we own it, the district owns that lake, District 1 and District 2, and we maintain the property lot down to the lake shore. But again, we don't have the say over that. And the police don't have any jurisdiction because we didn't declare that as their property. Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you, sir. Let us think about those couple of things for a little bit so we can work toward a general consensus of thought there. All right? Any further comments? All right, hearing none, we'll move along with the agenda. Next up on new business, we have the approval of the minutes from the last meeting. Any discussion about that? Yes. Okay, sir. Yes, on the resolution of 2026-06, it was documented as Brian Miller and Michael Goodman. Just a typo. Okay. Thank you. Motion? We'll correct that. Okay. Do we have a motion with the one correction brought up by Supervisor Miller? I move approval of the minutes as corrected. Okay. And the second? Aye. All in favor say aye. Aye. Motion carries unanimously. Okay, the fiscal year 2026-2027 meeting schedule. Any comments about that? Looked over that, and for this particular year, all of our meetings fall on the very same date. Sometimes it's a little tricky with Veterans Day that comes up, but not in this particular case. So we're still on the second Friday of every month. I make a motion to approve the financial year 2026-2027 meeting schedule and authorize staff to publish it. Okay, we have a motion on the floor. Do we have a second? Second. Any further discussion? All in favor say aye. Aye. Motion carries unanimously. Okay, now old business. I'll turn it over to Ms. Duncan. Yes, sir. The first item on old business is the centerline reflective pavement markers, which is included in next year's budget and will be done after the first of the fiscal year '26-'27. Okay. The second item was for staff to contact the FWC to determine what action needed to be taken to address the impact on the wildlife based on the contractor over-mowing the preserve. We did provide an email to the board on August 3rd, and it is attached to the agenda for the benefit of the residents. And Mr. Harris is here if you have any questions on that specific item. Any questions on that? I stopped by the preserve the other day and just looked over. It's growing back very nicely. Yes. It really is, so that's good. Yeah. Thank you, Mike. I appreciate your efforts on that one. And that is the only update that staff has on old business, but I believe there are still items if the board would like to discuss. Okay Is the issue about speed bumps just out there for consideration, or is that a done deal? That was an issue that we put on old business at the request of some of our residents in the Villa neighborhoods. Right. Because the speed limit there is supposed to be 10 miles an hour, and a lot of people don't observe that speed limit, including some of the delivery folks and things like that. So, that was an idea. It's not anything we have to take action on, but it's something to think about. Good to keep it on the back burner. Yeah, because next year we'll actually get into repaving some of the Villa roads, and that's something we should consider when we're in the process of that. Yes, staff will not move forward with adding any speed bumps, but before we do the road repaving, we will approach the board to see if that's something you would like to discuss further. Okay. And when we're getting quotes on the repaving, I think it's probably a good idea for us to just have the idea of what additional cost the speed tables or speed bumps would be, whatever that case may be. Okay? Mr. Harris will make sure that's on his to-do list. All right. Thank you. All right. Anything else? Moving along, we'll go to the architectural review manual modifications, and we have Matt Armstrong coming forward. Good morning, board. Matt Armstrong, Community Standards. So before you today, we brought back the architectural review manual after last month's meeting, where we just had some tweaks that wanted to be made, a few grammatical, there was a Telsa versus Tesla, and then also Supervisor Miller had some bullet points that we wanted to split into a couple bullet points to make it easier for understanding what the new additions were about. So we modified those and put those- Matt, can you speak just a little closer? Sorry. There we go. Thank you. So we split out those bullet points to make it easier to understand what we were adding into the manual. So before you today, we're just asking the request for the approval of the architectural review manual that we've presented. Okay. Further discussion from the board? Yeah, I just have one question on it because I've got some feedback on it. Except if it's a portable flagpole, there's no regulation of the flags that people can fly. That is correct. Oh, okay. I get feedback on that as well. I just want to make sure I'm on... That's what I tell people. We can't regulate what's on the flag, just the safety of the flagpole itself. All right. Mr. Miller, I think you had one. One thing, I will make a motion to approve, but we need to correct the typing in the motion. It says "architecture review application." I make a motion to approve in the updated architectural review manual. Okay. That's in the 14th at the bottom. All right. That's understood. Okay. No further discussion. We've got a motion on the floor. Second. And a second. All in favor say, "Aye." Aye. Any opposed? All right, motion carries. Thank you, board. Thank you, Matt. Any questions about our informational items, financial statements? I will refer back to the financial statement later on when we talk about the Marbella Villas and the lighting project there. Okay. District manager. Yes, sir. The first item is the Amenity Authority Committee after agenda, which is attached for your convenience. And then I believe that your District One AAC rep is also in the audience, if you would like to defer to him. All right. Mr. Vaccaro, you have the floor. Good morning. Jim Vaccaro, 502 Herrera Court. It was an interesting AAC meeting as usual. And we covered the... The first one that was really interesting was we have this extra money in the budget, and they came to us with suggestions on what to do with that extra money. And one of them was to buy the property behind Rio Grande swimming pool and that shooting range over there, and then do something with that land. And they're going to try and come up with a proposal to what could you do with that empty land. It's not cheap because people are saying, "We want some more amenities." Everyone wants more. So that was a pretty lengthy discussion on that particular topic. And if people have ideas, we'd like to hear them, and I know that the district's going to go through some of those ideas. And then, the people from Lady Lake want to put sidewalks around Lady Lake in the areas where it's safer for the pedestrians to walk, which that's a safety issue, and I suppose it's worth considering because they're saying they're having a hard time walking to Spanish Springs. So there was a lot of discussion on that particular topic. And then as we moved along on the agenda, there was one more on the postal stations. And again, I never used the drop boxes for amenity fees on postal stations. But I did read a couple comments in "The Village News" and some online things that people were, "Hey, why are you taking them boxes out?" I think Carrie could probably explain more why we're taking them out, but we are in the process of removing those. And there was a notification put out. And then we moved into my favorite topic, which is Morris Boulevard. And the discussion really didn't take off until the chairman handed out this piece of paper. And this piece of paper was how we're going to fix Morris Boulevard. And he was talking about the $1.5 million widening, making it two feet wider on both sides of Morris Boulevard, which is what is probably the only thing that we are going to do should we not be able to build an off-road path. The developer was asked formally to fix the road, and that answer came back no. And that's too bad, because I really do think he or the developer, male, female, the corporation, could have done it properly. And then, it was like, are we going to move forward with that? And then really, it actually got tabled, because on the bottom of this piece of paper that I handed out, the reasoning, the rationale was there's only been 42 golf cart accidents over a period of 24 full years on Morris Boulevard. That's the last statement on this particular piece of paper if you read through the logic. And it kind of like, where is the support for that data? Because I've been calling Sumter County to give me some of that information, the statistics. The other piece of paper that I handed you is what I attended a meeting from Sumter County about the most dangerous sections of road in Sumter County. And I'm sorry I couldn't print it all so you could read it, but line number 14, L14, is Morris Boulevard North from County Road 466 to Rio Grande. That is, according to Sumter County, the 14th most dangerous section of road in this county. And when I look at what I was really trying to achieve, building it from the Gate 466 to San Marino would've really taken a good bite out of this particular issue. And I'm still not done because I'm not 100% sure that the attorney who is, "Okay, we can build sidewalks over there in Lady Lake, and we can buy property over here, and we can build that, but we can't build a multimodal path with our amenity money." It's still that nip and tuck, why can't we? And I think he was thinking we were doing something on Sumter County property. This proposal that came in from Kimley-Horn that said we could do it on district property is the one I keep pushing myself to say, if we use amenity money and we do have enough to do at least this section, the mile of road from 466 to Rio Grande. I'm not sure about Rio Grande, but San Marino. I think that would be a marvelous solution to start. And then you would think it's only a mile and a half, there's only another three-quarters of a mile to go at some other point in time. So that's where I'm at. I'm not done because I'm really kind of, can I get the attorney to understand it's on district property? Because we seem to do a lot on district property. So that's where we are on Morris Boulevard, and I hope I can get the real statistics on Morris Boulevard to present them to the board and everyone look at statistics and say, "Okay, maybe this is a little more dangerous than two per year over a 25-year period." Which it doesn't seem right, because I know I've seen lots of them there myself. So, if you're all right with waiting just to try and persuade the attorney to say, "Let's look at every little variable." I know we tabled the whole thing for the month, so we're not moving again until next month. Should we not do a thing, then I think widening the road to two feet is where we're going to run down. But I would still like to get off-road. The off-road part offers me the center turn lane, which I think is a very safe feature for that section of road. Okay. Questions? Go ahead, please. I have my own thing, and I'm trying really hard to accomplish it. But if I don't get any support from anybody, then I just got to go along with two feet, and I'd like to paint. We'll paint, we'll do whatever Sumter County lets us do. Go ahead. I will add that two individuals have died at the intersection of San Juan and Morris in the last six months. Mm-hmm. But neither died at the scene. They both died because of complications due to the injuries. But two people at my road in the last six months have perished because of the situation of Morris. Now, one was a person making a turn that shouldn't have made a turn, and the other one was hit by a golf cart. But in both cases, it's speed at that end. Mm-hmm. Because what I see when the road goes from one lane to two lanes- Oh ... the person that was sitting behind me, they didn't like it, he's going to blow by me. Oh, absolutely. And that section of road, it's So the statistics are there, two people And that's a short period of time. Short period. I'm talking, this gentleman handed out a piece of paper that said that over 24 years or 25 years, there's only been 42 golf cart accidents. I could probably get 24 myself just going out and talking to people. And who gets killed and who doesn't get killed, and even if you don't get killed immediately, you die six months later from the impact of all that. We're old. Your body can't take that crush. But yes, thank you. I think I'm baffled- Okay ... why the AAC cannot make a decision on something that seems to be such a great benefit to all the residents of our community. You guys keep finding ways to run down different rabbit holes and come up with different ideas or different scenarios. When you've been given a scenario that clearly benefits the people of this community, it's well-engineered and it provides a very logical approach to safety, which is giving more space for error for both the golf cart driver, the person that uses the multimodal path, the bicycle rider, the walker, and the person driving the car. And I drive that road every day like many of you do, and what I see mostly is people not being able to maintain their lane. And I understand that in the community that we live in. So I think there's a very obvious solution here, that for some reason, your committee can't pull it together in order to benefit the citizens of this community, and I'd like to see you do it. Okay. And that solution is to you widening the road two feet? Two feet on each side, and then we can talk about Supervisor Irwin's suggestion because I do believe what Mr. Brightman said about let's do that as a trial is a very logical next step to say, "Hey, if we identify the areas where there's conflict, intersection, by a color-coded paint, then maybe that brings people's attention more to the fact that, "Hey, there's a potential issue here." So doing that as a trial to say, "Hey, we'll see if this works," seems like a very logical approach to me. And I think it basically eliminates the need to do the cutouts as was proposed on the phase two of it, just for the time being. That may not be the case in the future, but I think it certainly is worth a try to see if that's as viable as the two-foot quarter on both sides. I agree with you totally. Okay. Thank you, sir. Okay, so you just want to push ahead with the two foot, let the rest of it go. No, let's start with that. Let's get something done. No, I understand. Yeah. Well, listen. Let's just get one thing done. The two foot, I guess, with the paint probably costs us a couple million, and here's a couple million. But the other one I thought was a really good solution that we paid for, that was on the books, but we shall take care of it at the next meeting. Thank you, sir. I'd appreciate if we could move forward, it'd be great. You got it. Thanks. Anything else? That's all? All right. Thank you. Save the date. Yes, sir. We would invite the board and all of the residents to attend our night out with District Property Management, in which you will have the opportunity to learn from all of the divisions of DPM, including water resources, facilities, and more. This event is on September 23rd from 4:00 to 6:00 at the Rohan Recreation Center, and we hope that we will see all of you there. All right. Thank you. Okay. District council. There are two more training opportunities for this year for supervisors, with the first being August 27 at 9:00 a.m. and that will be held at Everglades, and the second being on October 29 at 2:00 p.m. That one will be at the district office. You can attend one or both by signing up through the clerk's office. And correct me, but our Form 4 has to be filed by June of each year. So this particular training would be for next year. Is that correct? I thought it was annual. This year and next year. Yeah, this year, but next year as well. Got you. So it's for 2026. 2026. Okay. I get those dates mixed up sometimes. So this is for 2026. Yes. Thank you very much, sir. And just to talk about a topic that was brought up earlier in our public comments. Certainly, we've all heard a lot about Airbnbs and things like that, and I understand that the issue is more complex, and it's not necessarily an issue that the development districts can necessarily remedy. But I also understand that we may have the authority to look at the nuisances that are created by some of these things. I'm not necessarily a proponent of limiting people's ability of what they can do with their own property, but I am a proponent of having a neighborhood that consistently provides a peaceful area for people to reside And if we could look at something that's more of a nuisance type of ordinance that could address some of that, then I think that may be an outlet for us to be able to at least address the bad issues. We don't have the ability, as you said, to do anything when it comes to the actual rental of the property. However, if there are deed restriction issues that are linked to the property, then certainly that is something we can move forward with. The problem comes in that it's against the homeowner, and it's not against the renter. And typically, they are gone, and the issue is resolved before we can even get there. Most of them, the complaints that we get from residents are more law enforcement issues, when it comes to people being vulgar, intimidating the neighbors. We've heard a lot of that. And that, we encourage the residents to call law enforcement. Most of them have indicated that they have not previously called law But certainly, if there is issues that we can link to a deed restriction, we certainly will, even though, again, it's not a quick fix. And most of the time, the renters are gone before we can even get out there. Certainly understand that. But it may be time to start holding those property owners responsible for what is happening on their property. And even though we can't address the problem right away, maybe we can address it long term and get the compliance that we're looking for. So, thank you. So, I would encourage the board and any residents, if you are experiencing issues with this, or if you have neighbors that are, just have them file the complaint because it's a complaint-driven process, as you know. And all it takes is a complaint, and Mr. Armstrong's in the back, and hears that you want to be more proactive when it comes to... Because you do have the reoccurring provision within your rule that does allow, even if they keep bringing it into compliance, you still have the ability to fine if it continues to happen repeatedly. Thank you. I appreciate the insight into that. Okay. Moving forward with the supervisor comments. I'll go first. I think we all received a email from Ms. Healy regarding the lights or the lack of lights at Marabella Villas. And so on my way back from dinner one night, I drove by there. I see what they're talking about. I did also drive by a lot of our other villa neighborhoods, and all of those do have a lighted sign. So I certainly agree with the fact that even though we're not legally obligated to provide illumination for those, there certainly seems to be a standard here within our district. That being said, we have a particular quandary here because one of the core beliefs of providing good government is not to be funding unbudgeted items because that wrecks a budget and creates problems later on. So we've got a request here, or the staff put together a thorough estimate for us of 12,600 some odd dollars to provide that. And my proposal to you is because this is an unbudgeted item, but looking at our financial report, it looks like that staff's done a really good job of keeping us under budget. So by our next month's meeting, I believe Ms. Lenoris will be able to give us a fairly good estimate of whether or not we're going to be under budget and how much. And maybe if we find ourself under budget to the point that we can fund it, I would propose that we decide to fund that project at that particular time. So, it's open for your discussion. I did see that. One thing is, is there a possibility of... What would be the purpose of the 125 amp service? And have they considered using a less expensive alternative, such as solar lighting? And in addition, the Cordova sign for the entrance, I think that should be lit as well. So I'll defer to Mr. Harris on the first few questions. For Cordova, that would be an Amenity Authority Committee expenditure if they wish to move forward with that. And then I believe Mr. Ricard is still here, so if he would like to bring that up at AAC. Good morning. Mike Harris, District Property Management. The service amperage is dictated by Duke Energy. We don't really have a choice on that. They have a specified amperage that we have to use. We have used solar in the past, and it was a monumental disaster. We have removed them everywhere else because the batteries and as the landscape grows, it's cost a lot more to maintain those systems. All right. Thank you. Thank you, Mike. I appreciate the answer. Further discussion? If not, do we have kind of consensus to move forward and see where we stand next month? That's almost the end of fiscal year for us, so I think we're in that position. Yes. I drove by as well, and it is obviously different. We want to have these The aesthetics and everything being the same. So it definitely needs to keep up. All right. So we will have Miss Leonorris and the budget team look at the budget and come up with some areas in which you have had cost savings, and we can potentially move forward, and it will be on your agenda next month. All right. Thank you very much. Other supervisor comments? I got a few. Okay. Start with the easy ones first. We got some photographs we can throw up. Let's see which one you have first. My favorite. This pond was empty two years ago because of a failure in the liner, and doesn't it look beautiful now? Neighborhood is just tickled pink. The great work done by the district to get this problem resolved. Just thank you very much for everybody that had your hands in that. Great job. Second photograph is they've started doing the cabling in our neighborhood, and I want people to see what's going to happen here. This is called no-dig technology, but it's somewhat not labeled correctly. Every place they cross a utility, they have to dig it up. Okay. And the bullet or missile, whatever you want to call it, they have to dig a trench for that. But they did a fabulous job when they were done putting everything back in place, and I compliment that. When the man sat here and said they're going to do it good, they've done an excellent job in our neighborhood. So good report there. That's good to hear. Good. Okay, the third item. I think you all received Commissioner Butterfield's response. I was originally working with Mr. Matthew Padlock on a staff level to say, "Okay, here's something. You said you use FDOT as a standard. Here's something FDOT uses in Orlando. They use it in Jacksonville. They use it in St. Pete." The next time you hop off the Florida Turnpike to turn right to go to Leesburg, they use it there. It's everywhere. Yes, they do. Yeah. I was surprised. I didn't know about the meeting, didn't know it was going to come up at the meeting, but I was surprised the next day to get a call from Matt. I was at the gym, so I got a voicemail, but my telephone records what's in that voicemail. And what was most intriguing is he said he could no longer give me an official response. "You can come down and meet, but can't officially talk about the subject." I think I've asked the staff here, and I think I'm pretty clear that the county owns that multimodal path. We don't own a multimodal path. And then I see where Commissioner Butterfield has said we don't deal with multimodal paths, so there's a conflict there. So what I'm looking for, direction from my fellow supervisors, is my next steps. The easiest step is I have talked to Richard Benson, and we have a strategy to work through the AAC to keep the ball moving and keep this in the bucket of things to do. But maybe you can explain to me why the county commissioners are so opposed to even talking about their pathway. In my perception, these intersections are not marked at all. You don't know there's a multimodal path there if you don't live in the Villages. And what brought me to this is I'm going up the road one day and here comes a car, and in that split second, it was either run into the car or pull out into a lane of traffic. Fortunately, there was nobody there. And I did what any smart man would do. I went home and I called the guy and I said, "Can you put seat belts in my golf cart, please?" Yeah. So maybe you can explain why the county commissioners are pushing this effort for their property on others. How did we get there? I'll try to answer some of that at first because I think as most of you fellows know, I met with them multiple times to try to come up with a safety solution on Morse Boulevard. And they were always very nice, but very firm on the fact that they didn't want to spend any money on that road. And I really believe that it comes down to a precedent because there are multimodal paths that connect to roads all over this county. And if they go out of their way and do something on North Morse, they're setting themselves up in a position where they got to do a lot more road construction. They're already spending, I think, near $100 million south of State Road 44, building roads connecting the newer parts of The Villages with the rest of the world. And so I think their budget, when they step back and look at their budget, the reality is we don't have a lot of money to spend on things like that, and we don't want to put ourself in a position to be setting a precedent where we have to do that. So I believe that's what you've run into. They'll never say that in public, but I believe that's what you're up against. And I think from my personal standpoint, your approach with Mr. Benson and the AAC is going to be a lot more fruitful than trying to work with Sumter County. I think you've made an excellent case. I think Mr. Brightman has also brought up a pretty good idea of using it as a trial if we need to. I just think the funding is really the key issue to them, and that's why they don't want to talk about it. Yeah, I guess my pushback is, and I worked at Public Works for a million years, if somebody tells you that you have something that's 30 years behind practice, and it's on the public record, and somebody gets in an accident, then it's John Morgan's people you're talking to. Exactly. And you've got to wrestle with that threat of you were notified that you've got something that's 30 years old, there are much better practices out there, and you wouldn't even let your staff member talk to somebody about it? I didn't want to be in that position. I think the day that happens, you'll see a change in- Yeah ... the approach. But Rocky, I'll take your approach. I'll work with the AAC and- Okay ... we'll keep the ball moving. All right. Mr. Brightman, you had something. My subject matter expert. Supervisor Gurwin, I was a little bit confused by your comments. I wonder if you could provide some clarification. Sure. Was the comments regarding FDOT and the widening of the roadway consistent with the property use through paving onto the additional property, or was it a concern about the dedication, the continued county roadway, and the widening of the roadway to be acceptable for the FDOT standard? Yeah, the FDOT standard refers to nothing to do with the widening. It had to do that FDOT, when there's a bicycle path or a multimodal path, they have a green and white stripe pattern that they use throughout the county, throughout the state- Yes, sir ... to let people know that when you're coming through this intersection, the people on the bikes or the e-bikes or the golf carts have the right of way. So it's a different kind of subject. Thank you. Is the property that the widening is looking at, who owns that property? You're asking the wrong person. Yeah. I'm sorry? Sumter County. Yeah. No, I can show you what I'm talking about afterwards. Thank you, sir. Yeah. Okay. That's enough, isn't it? Thank you. I appreciate your comments, and I appreciate your work on that. I really do. You've done a good job, and I encourage you to keep working with Mr. Benson. I'll keep pressing. There we go. Any more comments? I would like to also say that- Sure ... Lumos, Michael Hopkins that came and gave the presentation, that he actually, anytime I'm out and during their construction, there's always a supervisor that's in the truck, and he'll pull up and say, "Do you have any questions?" Probably a half a dozen times just looking around, they come up and ask, "Do you have any questions?" I'm very impressed with the work that they're doing, and they'll get it back. One supervisor said, "Was that like that before?" And I said, "No, sir." He said, "It'll be today." I just want to praise them for doing a good job. Good. Well, the fact we haven't received a lot of complaints is a really good gauge as well, so- Yes, it is ... they're doing a good job. But people know. They're going to be digging up your front yard. Yes. But they're going to take care of it. But they'll fix it back. There we go. Okay. I think we've accomplished everything we need to accomplish today. We'll entertain a motion to adjourn. So moved. All in favor say aye. Aye. We're adjourned.
