COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Sure.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: -- what Congress is tIying to do is
cut the funding for PACE; is that --
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: No, absolutely not. What's
happened is, is everything's been going forward. Congress has given
backing of this in the past. The states -- 37 states have approved their
PACE programs. What happened is, we have two agencies within the
United States Government connected with the -- with Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac that have put a stop to the PACE program thinking that it
may endanger their ability to be able to collect sometime in the future
on foreclosures.
And Congress has got a bill before them now to be able to
remedy the situation, and we're asking -- we're -- our support to be
able to send it on to them.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Thanks for the explanation. I didn't
understand what was prompting this. Okay. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Good, okay.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Thank you. And I have one
more thing. This is an issue that I'd really like to bring up.
As you know, our commissioner, fellow commissioner here,
Frank Halas, will be leaving us in November after putting in eight
years of service. And I can tell you, here's a man that's put in hours
way over and above what nOID1ally commissioners put in.
He's been in this building working diligently on the county's
behalf way past what you'd normally expect a County Commissioner
to do.
In recognition of his service, I'd like us to give consideration to
naming the new Vanderbilt greenway after Frank Halas.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: I like that idea.
COMMISSIONER I-:LA.LAS: Oh.
CHAIRMAN COrLE: I'd go with Vanderbilt Beach.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Well, I didn't think naming a

restroom after him would be appropriate, although that was my second
choice.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: No. I was talking about the beach.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: The whole beach.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: I feel very honored, and I'm
humbled to think that you feel this amount of affection for what we've
accomplished here in this county over the last eight years, and I
thoroughly appreciate working with each and every one of you.
And I know some of us have spent some time up in Tallahassee,
we've spent time in Washington, and we also worked pretty diligently
with Florida Association of Counties. And I think this county's got a
pretty good reputation. And we have F AC now working on our behalf
to take an issue before the Supreme Court of Florida. And I thank you
very much.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Thank you. And we'll have time to
thank you again before you leave. He's not leaving before November,
so don't worry about --
MR. OCHS: So am I hearing consensus so as we move forward
with the signage and the planning of that greenway we can -- we can
move in that direction?
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Would you like that in the form
of a motion? I'll be happy to make it.
MR. OCHS: That would be great, Commissioner.
-
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Then I make a motion to do so.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Second.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. Me, too.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Third.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: I know which way he's going to vote.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: I'm going to abstain.
MR. OCHS: Call the question.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: Thank vou.
-
CHAIRMAN COYLE: All in favor, please signify by saying
