Polk County Healthcare Plan - Bartow (FL)

5 /5 Waldo Carbo Jr: I came to the BOCC for an interview for one of the planner positions available that I applied for. I have to say that the building itself was neat and not too crowded. The bathrooms were also clean and smelled good. The parking situation was fine also because they have a parking lot that you can pay to get a parking spot that isnt overly expensive. There is a free parking lot, but I dont suggest you try to find parking there since it will be impossible to find a free spot. The paid parking isnt expensive though. The first two hours were $2.00 which isnt bad. In fact it could probably be more expensive and still meet the 80% occupied rule. The staff that I met with was friendly and courteous, to include the reception staff. The design of the building was nice. You can overlook the first floor from the upper floors which gives it an open feel. Over all I think the experience was friendly and well coordinated.

1 /5 becca: Also wanted to complain about the trash services. It is ridiculous the lack of state funding going into waste management and recycling services. All of our recycling is just being sent to a landfill. Roads are not being done in a timely manner yet houses pop up every day. The roads are not being improved with the jump in population. Not to mention the sides of the roads are filled with trash. Something needs to be done

1 /5 ddaks5: The county requires permits for everything you want to build on your land. How can they require permits and will only see 8 applicants per day??? This county government needs to re-evaluate this protocol immediately or hire a private company that can get the job done in a timely manner.

1 /5 joy wright: We have been calling for 2 years about our road. They want us to call back next year. They have repaved the north end but nothing in the middle where the road is falling into the swamp. They sure havent lowered our taxes. We shouldnt be required to call back time after time
