 COUNTY FORESTER

Mr. Tom Toland, County Forester addressed the issue of the southern pine beetle infestation in the county. Mr. Toland said that the pine beetle was discovered in June on property owned by Georgia Pacific. He said presently cutting the timber is the acceptable way to destroy the pine beetle and control the damage. Mr. Toland said cooperation has been excellent from the timber industry. He said Mr. Jim Meeker, Entomologist for the Division of Forestry investigated the initial sites of infestation immediately upon discovery with Mr. Toland. Mr. Jim Meeker said that to control the infestation of the southern pine beetle there needs to be at least one (1) week of temperatures at 95 degrees (Fahrenheit) or above per day. He said that if this does not occur soon that there will be more damage and losses will increase.

Chairman Yearty thanked Mr. Toland and Mr. Meeker for providing current information on the infestation of the southern pine beetle and asked Mr. Toland to return with further updates on the situation.

 PROPERTY APPRAISER

Mr. Francis Akins, Property Appraiser addressed the issue of automatic renewal on the agriculture exemption.

He said that the green card would still be mailed out and only returned when the eligibility for the exemption changed. Mr. Akins said that the Property Appraiser’s office is attempting to review the areas in the county every two (2) years. He said that the Florida Statutes allow for the county to select this option and it would allow more time for field inspections.

Comm. Dean moved to approve the process of automatic renewal for the agricultural exemption. Comm. Lindsey seconded and the MOTION CARRIED.

Mr. Francis Akins said the TRIM notice has been changed to an 8" x 11 1/2" form. He said that he will be informing the public of the change.

Chairman Yearty said that the rural counties would feel a financial impact from the loss of tax revenue for publicly owned lands without the payments in lieu of taxes from the governmental entities.

Mr. Faircloth distributed an annual report for the Suwannee River Water Management District on the highlights and basics of the land acquisition targets. He said the annual report contains information on the acreage owned and where the lands are located.

Foley moved to approve Nature Coast Insurance as the agent for the group health insurance coverage. Comm. Lindsey seconded and the MOTION CARRIED.

Mr. Billy Cobb said that he had reviewed the proposed changes and they appeared minor and would not have an adverse effect on the county presently or in the future.
