The numbers Jason used represent 90% of the jobs in the entire state. ln the next report, Jason will include the numbers for all government workers, b. Kim gave an update on the county owned properties. There have been many public meetings and we have gotten great input from the public. She reminded the committee that no further action will be taken with respect to the properties at the BCC level until this fall. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board is interested in the possibility of having a joint meeting with the AHAC, or possibly a subcommittee with members of both committees to discuss the Manatee Site, before anything is taken back to the Bcc. Kim informed the committee that based on feedback from the public, there will be an approximately 60 day study performed by a contracted company to inform us on roads/traffic, environmental review and school and other impacts for both parcels. The results should be released in August at which time they will be shared via joint or subcommittee meetings as noted above. 5.
