A
B
C
And
so
I'd
like
to
take
some
time
this
morning
to
review
the
city's
second
completed
greenhouse
gas
inventory,
as
well
as
a
few
potential
programs.
As
you
might
recall,
the
city
first
calculated
its
greenhouse
gas
emissions
in
2010,
based
on
data
from
2007.
This
inventory
included
emissions
from
our
entire
community,
including
residential
commercial,
industrial
and
municipal
sectors.
C
Initially,
our
total
emission
level
was
calculated
at
1.25
million
metric
tons
of
carbon
dioxide
equivalence.
However,
our
knowledge
of
greenhouse
gases
and
how
they
manifest
and
interact
an
atmosphere
has
advanced
in
the
last
10
years.
Because
of
this,
and
the
need
to
have
a
baseline
inventory
that
can
be
accurately
compared
to
future
inventories.
It
was
necessary
to
recalculate
our
first
inventory
in
order
to
be
consistent
with
the
current
local
government
operations
protocol
and
the
US
community
protocol
for
inventories.
C
This
process
was
fairly
simple,
as
all
the
data
was
already
available
and
could
be
plugged
into
the
inventory
calculator
provided
by
a
clean
local
governments
for
sustainability.
So
using
the
new
protocol
citywide
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
totaled
one
point:
two:
nine
million
metric
tons
of
carbon
dioxide
equivalents
for
the
calendar
year,
2007
emissions
from
energy
consumption
and
transportation
fuels
were
the
largest
contributors
to
the
citywide
greenhouse
gas
inventory
at
65
percent
and
30
percent
respectively.
C
Solid
waste
contributed
5
percent,
while
the
city's
wastewater
operations
accounted
for
0.1
percent
of
emissions
and
I
wanted
to
mention
that
the
emissions
from
the
city's
potable
water
supply,
so
the
the
water
we
pump
to
the
city
and
then
to
the
individual
properties,
that's
included
in
the
energy
consumption
portion.
Here,
as
the
electricity
used
to
pump
the
water
is
part
of
our
municipal
energy
consumption.
C
So
from
this
inventory,
clear
water,
green
print
was
formed
as
a
plan
to
help
the
city
achieve
these
two
goals.
First,
we
wanted
to
reduce
citywide
greenhouse
gas
emissions
10%
below
2007
levels
by
the
year
2020
and
second,
we
wanted
to
reduce
citywide
greenhouse
gas
emissions
25%
below
our
2007
levels
by
the.
C
So
we
have
come
a
long
way
since
2010
and
in
order
to
see
if
the
city
and
the
Clearwater
community
would
be
successful
in
reaching
its
goal
for
the
year
2020,
a
second
greenhouse
gas
inventory
was
conducted
in
2019
based
off
of
data
from
the
previous
year.
According
to
the
inventory,
the
community-wide
greenhouse
gas
emissions
for
2018
or
1.1
3
million
metric
tons
of
carbon
dioxide
equivalents,
and
that
is
12.9%
below
our
two
sub
2007
levels.
So,
together
we
achieved
their
first
goal
of
reducing
emissions
by
over
10
percent.
C
From
this
pie
chart
you
can
see
that
our
emissions
from
energy
consumption
decreased
since
2007
from
65%
to
59%
of
the
tool
inventory.
Emissions
from
transportation
fuels,
on
the
other
hand,
increased
8%
on
a
stop
a
smaller
but
still
significant.
Note.
Our
emissions
from
solid
waste
decreased
2
percent
and
our
very
small
contribution
from
wastewater
stayed
about
the
same
and
understanding
these
differences.
It's
important
to
note
that
we've
also
increased
in
population.
According
to
the
US
census.
C
Despite
our
increase
in
population,
our
community
still
managed
to
significantly
decrease
emissions
from
energy.
There
are
a
few
factors
that
have
made
that
decrease
possible,
so
there
are
now
more
fuel,
sorry,
more
efficient
appliances
such
as
those
with
an
Energy
Star
label
and
now
widely
available
in
the
market.
There
has
been
a
slight
increase
in
renewable
energy
and
a
decrease
in
fossil
fuel
energy
from
Duke
Energy's
portfolio
in
2007,
65
%
of
what
was
then
progress.
Energy's
portfolio
came
from
coal,
gas
and
oil.
Well,
now
only
61
point:
seven
percent
come
from
these
fossil
fuels.
C
More
solar
panel
systems
have
also
been
installed
on
buildings
within
Clearwater,
for
instance,
just
since
2015
over
557,
over
557
systems
have
been
installed,
resulting
in
a
total
production
of
almost
seven
million
kilowatt-hours
and
saving
roughly
five
thousand
metric
tons
of
carbon
dioxide
each
year
and
I
wanted
to
thank
our
local
Sun
Co
Sierra
Club
chapter
for
gathering
that
information.
There
has
also
been
an
increase
in
natural
gas
being
used
by
our
commercial
facilities
within
Clearwater,
while
still
primarily
methane.
Upon
combustion.
C
There
have
been
new
additions
to
the
Florida
energy
code,
and
this
has
resulted
in
more
efficient
cooling
standards
and,
finally,
we
can
also
just
see
a
greater
awareness
among
consumers
about
the
need
to
conserve
energy,
so
turning
off
the
lights
when
it
leaves
buildings
as
well
as
the
economic
and
environmental
benefits
of
doing
so
now,
when
we
look
to
our
emissions
from
transportation,
we
have
we
see
that
they've
increased
since
2007.
This
increase
also
only
comes
from
our
passenger
vehicles,
so
personal
vehicles
and
smaller
vehicles
use
for
traveling
to
and
from
work.
C
While
we
actually
have
a
slight
decrease
in
emissions
from
our
large
freight
trucks.
This
increase
in
emissions
it's
occurring
even
despite
having
more
fuel-efficient
vehicles
on
the
road
when
I
saw.
This
increase
I
wanted
to
know
why,
if
it
was
simply
just
a
result
of
our
increased
population
or
if
we
were
also
just
driving
more
so
I
calculated
the
growth
rates
and,
as
you
can
see,.
C
The
growth
rate
of
our
population
was
point
zero,
zero
five,
and
if
we
look
at
the
annual
number
of
miles
passenger
vehicles
traveled
within
clear
water,
we
see
not
an
only
an
increase
but
a
growth
rate
of
point
zero,
two,
two
surpassing
the
growth
rate
of
our
population.
So,
in
addition
to
increasing
the
number
of
vehicles
on
the
road
due
to
an
increased
population,
we
may
also
just
be
driving
more
than
we
previously
did.
C
Beside
that,
we've
met
our
first
goal,
and
the
question
then
turns
to
how
we
will
continue
to
succeed
in
reaching
our
twenty
five
percent
reduction
by
2035
goal.
Reaching
this
goal
will
require
ongoing
commitment,
possibly
even
more
than
we
last
ten
years.
This
is
because
many
of
the
somewhat
easier
strategies
have
either
been
completed
or
started,
and
now
we
must
look
towards
starting
with
strategies
that
are
we
are
either
less
familiar
with,
or
that
require
greater
attention
or
upfront
investment
and
looking
even
further
into
the
future.
I
would
encourage
that.
C
Many
cities
are
aligning
with
the
recommendations
provided
by
the
Paris
climate
agreement
and
the
Intergovernmental
Panel
on
Climate
Change,
which
say
that
we
will
need
to
see
an
80
percent
reduction
in
global
emissions
by
2050
in
order
to
stay
under
2
degrees
of
global
temperature
increase
for
Enzoani.
The
city
of
st.
Petersburg
has
a
goal
of
80
percent
reduction
by
2050
and
the
cities
of
Orlando
and
Miami,
starting
to
have
a
hundred
percent
reduction
essentially
becoming
net
zero
by
that
same
year.
C
C
E
C
A
lot
of
progress
by
converting
our
streetlights
to
LED
bulbs
by
entering
into
a
performance-based
contracts
with
Honeywell
for
more
efficient
equipment
and
installing
things
like
motion
sensors
in
our
buildings
and
so
on
to
further
energy
savings
with
within
city
facilities.
We
are
looking
to
start
an
energy
savings
program
and
which
a
third-party
company
will
work
with
the
city
to
train
staff
and
monitor
energy
use
within
buildings.
In
order
to
reduce
that
energy
use.
C
The
idea
for
this
program
came
from
the
Pinellas
County
School
Board,
which
partnered
with
a
company
to
focus
on
behavior
change
and
optimal
building,
use
the
program
required.
No
upfront
costs
and
the
third-party
company
is
paid
only
from
a
portion
of
the
savings
that
results
for
the
school
board.
That
meant
a
20%
reduction
and
their
energy
use.
Over
the
last
five
years,
totaling
a
savings
of
over
20
million
million
dollars.
C
We
issued
a
request
for
proposals
for
a
similarly
structured
program,
less
value
and
have
received
proposals
due
to
the
recent
social
distancing
recommendations.
The
committee
has
not
yet
been
able
to
meet
to
review
these
proposals,
but
we
will
do
so
once
it
sees
to
meet
once
again
and
other
energy
efficiency
updates.
We
have
pasted
financing
or
property
assessed
clean
energy
financing.
This
is
a
mechanism
for
financing
energy
efficiency
and
renewable
energy
improvements
on
private
property.
C
It
allows
the
property
owner
to
finance
the
upfront,
costs
of
energy
or
other
eligible
improvements
on
a
property
and
then
pay
the
cost
back
over
time
through
voluntary
assessment.
The
unique
characteristic
characteristic
of
pace
assessments
is
that
they
are
attached
to
the
property
rather
than
an
individual
and
are
paid
through.
The
property
tax
Mouse
county
has
approved,
pays
for
only
commercial
properties
at
this
time
and
has
entered
into
a
inter
local
government
agreement
with
counterpoint
energy
solutions.
C
In
addition
to
using
less
energy,
we
should
also
look
to
increase
renewable
energy
options
living
in
the
Sunshine
State
means
so
where's
our
top
renewable
energy
option,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
when
discussing
the
greenhouse
gas
inventory,
solar
systems
have
been
increasing
in
Clearwater
and
we
hope
to
help
them
increase
further.
In
addition
to
emission
reduction,
the
Clearwater
greenfield
plan
also
prioritizes
strategies
that
have
economic
benefits,
including
job
creation.
Solar
energy
has
continued
growing
as
an
industry
globally
and
locally.
C
In
fact,
Pinellas
County
now
ranks
as
the
second
in
the
state
for
the
most
jobs
created
by
the
solar
energy
industry,
with
only
Palm
Beach
County
outranking
us
solar,
united
neighbors
as
a
nonprofit
organization
that
works
to
facilitate
solar
coops.
This
process
allows
interested
residents
to
get
together
and,
under
the
guidance
of
solar,
united
neighbors,
create
an
RFP
for
a
solar
installer.
Next,
they
select
an
installer
through
a
committee
and
then
proceed
one
by
one
with
the
installation.
Co-Op
participants
receive
a
large
price
reduction
due
to
ordering
in
bulk.
C
C
The
renewable
energy
program
would
enable
qualified
businesses
and
residential
customers
to
participate
in
a
community
solar
program
and
directly
fund
the
development
of
several
utility
own
solar
plants.
10%
of
this
program
has
been
carved
out
to
allow
for
municipal
and
Wolman.
How
it
works
is
that
the
program
program
participants
subscribe
to
kilowatts
from
Dukes
solar
systems
for
a
fixed
monthly
subscription
fee,
and
it's
added
to
your
monthly
bill.
This
piece
supports
the
operations
of
these
solar
facilities.
C
If
we
enrolled,
we
would
decide
how
much
of
the
city's
total
energy
usage
would
come
from
a
solar
program,
possibly
even
having
the
ability
to
subscribe
to
enough
solar
generation
to
match
our
annual
energy
use.
The
power
generated
by
the
solar
facilities
feeds
into
the
Duke
Energy
electric
grid
across
Florida,
and
we
would
receive
a
monthly
bill
credit
associated
with
the
amount
of
solar
energy.
C
Our
share
produces
the
initial
credit
rate
for
the
first
three
years
of
the
program
will
be
point:
zero,
three
seven
cents
per
kilowatt
hour,
and
then
the
rate
will
increase
one
point:
five
percent
every
year.
So
what
this
means
is
during
the
first
few
years
there
is
a
monthly
net
charge.
However,
the
bill
credit
amount
increases
each
year
and
in
roughly
three
to
five
years,
our
annual
credits
are
projected
to
exceed
annual
costs.
C
Similar
to
energy
strategies
involving
transportation
or
prior
reduction
and
alternatives
reduction
means
decreasing
the
amount
of
driving
we
either
do
out
of
necessity
or
leisure
good.
Okay,
the
previous
council
approved
the
Complete
Streets
implementation
plan,
which
is
was
an
excellent
step.
Other
things
we
can
consider
include,
what's
known
as
Eevee
ready
policies
and
building
codes
which
established
Eevee
or
electric
vehicle
infrastructure
requirements
for
new
construction
projects,
including
the
electrical
capacity
and
pre-wiring.
C
C
First,
the
congratulations
through
a
fleet
team
for
once
again
being
recognized
as
one
of
the
top
100
fleets
in
the
nation,
as
you
might
recall,
in
nine
hybrid
Ford,
Explorers
were
recently
ordered
for
a
police
patrol,
we're
hoping
they're
well
received
by
our
Police,
Department
and
I
believe
11
more
have
been
ordered
or
on
the
list
for
our
Public
Utilities
Department
I,
as
well
as
our
fleet
manager.
Perry
cones
in,
have
been
on
frequent
calls
with
the
electric
vehicle
collaborative
offered
through
our
participation
with
the
climate
mayor's
group
to
discuss.
C
Also
incorporating
electric
vehicles
in
the
future.
Zuka
also
has
a
program
and
which
it
will
cover
the
cost
of
insulation
for
electric
vehicle
charging
stations
until
2022.
Our
community
has
taken
advantage
of
this
offering
and
we
have
had
several
chargers
installed
on
private
commercial
properties.
Under
this
program
we
are
also
working
with
Duke
to
get
to
charging
stations
and
so
on.
At
our
Beach
Library
and
Recreation
Center
at
the
moment,
of
course,
there
are
other
sectors
beyond
energy
and
transportation
that
are
vital
to
creating
a
sustainable
community.
C
We
will
also
be
pursuing
programs
related
to
other
clean
water,
green
print
categories
such
as
water
consumption
and
conservation,
waste
reduction
and
green
businesses,
local
food
and
so
on.
For
instance,
we
are
host
virtual
discussion
this
evening
about
the
many
benefits
of
composting
and
that
information
is
available
on
the
city's
Facebook,
as
well
as
the
calendar
on
our
city
website.
C
We
will
also
be
offering
a
residential
compost
workshop
series
this
summer
and
which
residents
who
live
in
clear
water
can
attend
and
leave
with
their
own
compost
bin,
a
big
thank
you
to
both
of
solid
waste
and
public
utilities
for
helping
to
make
this
program
possible
and
finally,
we
receive.
We
recently
announced
the
creation
of
the
Pinellas
sustainability
and
resiliency
Network.
G
Morning,
it's
nice
to
see
you
I'm
so
excited
you
gave
this
update.
You
know,
environment
and
sustainability
is
near
and
dear
to
my
heart.
So
I
went
through
your
PowerPoint
presentation
and
just
have
a
few
questions.
I
don't
know
if
we
can
start
back
at
like
the
first
couple
of
slides
or
I.
Don't
want
to
do
that,
but
I
have
a
question
about
when
the
slide
that
says
energy
emissions
and
it's
got
those
bar
graphs
yeah.
G
Why
are
those
so
similar
in
their
reductions?
You
know
that
seems
kind
of
you
know.
It
just
seems
to
me
I'd
like
to
have
a
better
understanding
of
why
that's
such
a
uniform
reduction,
and
how
can
you
actually
determine
what
the
reductionist
per
category
you
know
for
in
for
residential
versus
municipal
I?
Can.
C
G
C
The
only
difference
is
that
we
do
see
and
compared
to
2007,
our
commercial
businesses
have
increased
greater
and
their
natural
gas
consumption
versus
our
residential
sectors,
but
for
for
both
sectors,
I
mean
our
clients
azar,
just
getting
far
more
efficient,
Duke
Energy
both
provides
for
all
of
those
sectors,
and
so,
even
though
it's
only
a
slight
decrease
in
fossil
fuels
and
their
energy
portfolio,
it
actually
made
a
huge
difference.
Only
that
I
think
it
was
what
65
to
60
1.7
percent
coming
from
fossil
fuels.
Okay,
so.
G
C
G
C
I
would
agree
and
I
would
say
that
I
do
think
people
are
more
aware
now.
So
you
know
we
want
store,
also
lights
when
we
leave
does
that
have
the
greatest
effect
if
every
single
person
is
doing
it
absolutely,
but
I
think
we
and
this
graph
can
see
the
power
that
our
utility
has
on
our
emissions.
Absolutely.
G
And
then
the
next
slide
after
that,
the
transportation
emissions-
and
so
you
have
you
know,
there's
some
alarming
things
with.
We
have
an
increase
in
a
number
of
people
in
Clearwater
and
they
seem
to
be
driving
more
even
with
more
fuel
efficiencies,
and
so
I
was
wondering.
If
there's
a
way
we
can
incentivize
people
to
drive,
Eevee's
or
purchasing
these
drive
V's.
Can
we
have
some
more
charging
stations
on
our
city
property?
Can
we
incentivize
our
workers,
our
city
workers,
you
know?
G
C
I
mean
I
think
we
can
absolutely
look
into
that
I
think
electric
vehicles
and
themselves
kind
of
have
an
incentive
right
because
they're
so
modern
and
contrary
to
the
popular
belief,
they're
pretty
affordable.
Even
when
you
buy
used
and
I,
we
were
really
excited
to
partner
with
the
Southern
Alliance
for
clean
energy
to
do
a
test,
drive
and
electric
vehicle
today.
C
Unfortunately,
that
was
canceled
because
it
was
supposed
to
happen
this
past
month,
but
when,
once
things
are
a
little
more
back
to
normal,
we
are
going
to
reschedule
that
and
we
hope,
just
by
exposure
and
being
able
to
test
drive
a
great
vehicle.
People
will
also
want
to
purchase
one
at
their
next
opportunity.
Okay,.
G
C
Property
I
believe
two
one
is
in
the
Garden
Avenue
garage
and
then
the
other
one
I
know
it
was
at
the
former
country,
sign
library,
I'm,
not
sure.
If
it's
been
moved
over
to
the
new
location
and
then
we
would
have
the
third
location
will
be
the
back,
the
beach
rec
center
and
library,
and
at
that
facility
we
will
be
having
to
a
level
two
charger
which
charges
a
little
slower
and
then
a
fast
level
charging
station
great.
G
That's
fantastic,
that's
good!
The
next
slide
is
the
one
on
energy
efficiency
updates,
and
so
this
is
where
you're
talking
about
getting
some
RFPs
from
different
third
parties
that
come
in
and
help
municipalities
or,
for
example,
our
School
District,
save
money
with
behavioral
changes
mm-hmm.
So
you
said,
there's
already
something
that's
being
evaluated
and
you've
sent
out
an
RFP
for
that.
Yes,.
C
G
B
B
G
G
We
have
no
city
building
with
solar.
Is
that
correct?
To
my
knowledge?
Yes,
that's
correct!
Okay,
do
you
have
any
update
a
couple
of
years
ago,
I
had
asked
if
I
think
the
North
Greenwood
rec
center
was
getting
a
new
roof
and
I
had
asked.
If
there
was
a
solar
quote,
do
you
have
any
updates
on
how
that
went?
I
I.
C
Don't
have
an
update
since
I
think
you
probably
looked
into
the
report.
I
know
I
had
a
long
turn
on
investment
period
and
the
price
tag
was
fairly
large,
I'm,
not
sure
if
we've
looked
into
another
solar
or
array,
but
if
the
return
on
investment
was
the
barrier
and
that's
why
I
think
Duke
Energy's
program
is
stuff
in
the
right
direction
until
we're
ready
to
make
that
commitment.
Okay,
okay
and.
G
I
went
and
talked
to
that
solar
provider,
and
it
seems
like
there
are
different
requirements
for
cities,
but
I
was
a
little
concerned
that
there
was
only
one
quote
for
that
building
and
not
you
know
a
traditional
three,
so
I
think
you
know,
and
and
also
in
looking
at
the
I,
always
get
this
wrong.
So
I
wrote
it
on
my
notes:
the
the
solid
waste
transfer
station-
that's
out
there
near
us
19
that
just
was
built
it's
out
in
the
middle
of
nowhere.
It's
got
all
this
Sun
beating
down
on
it.
G
G
C
A
plug-in,
hybrid
I
know,
we've
been
doing
some
explorations
and
just
what's
possible
for
the
future
together.
I
know.
Our
fleet
manager
has
spoke
spoken
recently
with
the
fleet
manager
in
st.
Pete,
and
they
really
like
their
a
Nissan
Leaf
specifically
because
they
didn't
need
a
charging
station
for
it.
C
They
could
just
plug
it
directly
into
an
outlet
that
was
already
available
in
the
building
that
was
kind
of
eye-opening
for
us,
because
one
thing
we've
been
discussing
is
when
you
have
more
electric
vehicles,
either
in
the
fleets
or
just
in
the
city,
you
need
to
have
the
charging
stations
to
accommodate
them,
and
it's
like
a
chicken
or
the
egg
scenario.
What
comes
first,
but
thankfully,
with
this
Nissan
Leaf
scenario,
we
realized
we
can
try
it
out
without
having
a
major
piece
of
equipment
to
install.
G
G
F
C
Green
Prince
has
a
challenge
that
we
haven't
yet
attempted,
which
is
a
like
a
mile
reduction
challenge
and
it's
something
like
a
fun
program
we
would
put
out
for
our
residents
and
somehow
they
would
track
online
when
they're,
reducing
their
mileage
and
somehow
we
can
either
have
a
fun
program
or
incentivize
that
somehow
it's
not
something
that
we
started
yet,
but
I
definitely
think
it's
it's
going.
Transportation
is
currently
one
of
the
hardest
things
regionally
for
us
to
tackle
because
we're
a
built
out
community.
G
Absolutely
public
transportation,
all
that
yeah
and
then
I
think.
Oh,
the
additional
updates.
I
think
this
is
your
your
last
slide.
So
are
you
in
communication
with
our
environmental
advisory
board?
Do
you
play
a
role
with
them?
So
that's
a
group
of
people
that
are
you,
know,
passionate
about
the
environment
and
working
to
make
progress
in
Clearwater.
So
are
you
working
with
them
at
all?
If.
C
C
So
we
see
a
variety
of
goals,
I
think
with
our
neighbors.
Some
have
the
greenhouse
gas
emission
reduction
goals
like
I
mentioned
so
saint
pete
has
that
enough,
80%
by
2050,
Orlando
Miami.
As
for
our
other
communities
in
Pinellas,
County
I've
seen
more
renewable
energy
goals
than
I
have
greenhouse
gas
reduction
goals,
I'm,
not
sure,
really
why
that
is,
but
I
think
it
might
be
that
they
just
haven't
conducted
a
greenhouse
gas
inventory
right.
C
So
you
can't
change
what
you
haven't
measured,
so
it
might
be
easier
and
it
just
might
be
more
of
a
priority
for
them
to
say
we're
going
to
focus
on
a
certain
percentage
of
renewable
energy
by
this
year
and
directly.
That
does
affect
greenhouse
gases
so
and
I.
On
that
effort,
I
mean
you
would
see,
I
think
Largo,
st.
Pete's,
Dunedin
Safety
Harbor
have
offsets
100%
renewable
energy
goal.
B
B
Councilman
rebecc--,
when
those
setting
as
we
started
out
with
green
print
as
a
partnership,
effort
between
the
staff
and
the
council
and
and
so
I
think
Sheridan's
response
to
you
I
think
was
very
appropriate.
Is
that
we
can
certainly
identify
you
know,
goals
and
we
think
might
be
appropriate
and
good
for
us,
but
we
would
bring
those
goals
to
you
to
see
how
interested
you
are
in
achieving
some
of
those.
H
During
your
presentation,
I
appreciate
it.
I
was
a
little
surprised.
There
was
never
a
mention,
no
mention
of
our
Clearwater
gas
system
and
our
natural
gas
conversion
of
many
of
our
commercial
fleet
in
the
city
and
what
contribution
that
makes
to
the
transportation
I'm
assuming
on
the
freight
side
of
the
transportation
emissions,
because
that
is
where,
where
it
went
down,
am
I
correct
in
that
assumption.
I'm.
C
Not
sure
it's
a
little
more
difficult
to
quantify
when
it
comes
to
our
vehicle
miles
traveled,
all
the
information
I
got
was
from
the
Florida
Department
of
Transportation,
and
it's
just
full
amounts
of
information
and
the
only
dissection
they
can
provide
is
passenger
vehicles
versus
Freight.
So
the
amount
of
like
solid
waste
vehicles
that
we
have
that
are
running
on
natural
gas,
as
well
as
the
private
sector
industries
that
are
running
using
that
fuel
it
could
be
resulting
and
that
decrease
for
free
I,
just
haven't
been
able
to
complete
it
specifically.
H
However,
the
transportation
that
councilmember
Beckman
brought
up
with
bicycles,
I,
think
part
of
our
problem
is
where
the
wood,
the
densest
most
densely
populated
county
in
the
state,
we're
also
the
number
one
beach
destination
in
the
country
and
given
those
numbers,
while
I
want
to
encourage
bicycle
riding.
When
you
have
that
many
that
many
cars
on
the
road
and
vehicles
on
the
road
you've
got
that
many
more
opportunities
for
conflict
between
bicyclists
and
cars.
So
safety
is
also
a
concern.
Just
increasing
increasing
bicycle
paths
and
bicycle
making
it
easier
for
bicyclists.
H
I
D
I
Couldn't
get
my
hand
fat
up
fast
enough,
miss
Beckman
and
she
pretty
much
touched
on
a
lot
of
points.
I
wanted
to
talk
about
so
Thank
You
Kathleen
on
that,
but
I
do
want
to
tell
Sheridan
and
I
really
really
am
glad
that
the
city
has
employed
you
and
you're
on
board
with
us
now,
I
know
when
you
first
came
on.
We
did
talk
about
the
solar
array
on
top
of
the
rec
center
when
we
were
talking
about
doing
a
rear
oof
on
that.
A
I
J
C
C
B
And
if
I
could
just
make
one
comment,
especially
for
the
benefit
of
new
council
members,
is
that
when
we
start
with
when
the
council
of
commission
at
the
time
indicated
that
they
wanted
to
pursue
environmental
measures
and
we
started
with
converting
our
fleet,
it
was
very
clear.
They
made
it
very
clear
that
were
we
will
evaluate,
you
know,
return
on
investment
payback
periods,
so
that
has
always
been
a
part
of
the
evaluation
and
where
the
the
payback
was
not
perceived
to
be
a
reasonable
payback,
then
we
did
not
pursue
it.
B
A
I
I
The
technology
is
changing,
so
fast
one
company
would
come
and
say
our
panels
can
give
you
this
this
much
energy
and
then
another
company
said
well.
Ours
can
be
twice
as
much
so
I
think
that
we'll
see
a
little
bit
more
of
things
coming
to
use
as
the
technology
changes
in
the
next
couple
of
years.
I
think
the
cost
will
come
down
and
the
ROI
will
will
hit
that
faster.
So
just
wanted
to
make
that
comment.
A
Very
good,
thank
you.
Miss
Boyle
I
do
have
a
couple
more
questions
which
is
hard
to
believe
after
41
minutes,
but
have
we
done
any
Studies
on
how
often
the
charging
stations-
and
you
may
not
have
this
answer-
are
actually
being
used?
I
have
been
in
the
Garden
Street
Garage
for
over
three
years.
It
is
seldom
that
I
see
a
car
being
charged
there.
I
don't
know
if
councilmember
Beckman
charges
outside
of
her
house
very
often
most
of
the
people
that
I
know
who
owned,
Tesla's
and
other
AV
vehicles.
A
C
Don't
have
a
specific
study
related
to
the
Garden
Avenue
charging
station,
I
will
say,
anecdotally,
I,
don't
think
it
is
used
very
frequently
I.
Also
just
don't
think
people
know
of
it.
So
we
could
do
a
better
job
of
advertising
that
charging
station,
as
we
see
more
like
IT
or
technology
related
companies
have
an
interest
in
clear
water.
I
do
think
we'll
see
that
demand
increase
just
working
next
to
the
no
before
building
I,
see
a
number
of
Tesla's
come
through,
so
I
think
we
could
do
a
better
job
of
advertising.
C
That
and
the
mayor
does
speak
to
something
called
range
anxiety.
So
one
of
the
biggest
barriers
to
electric
vehicles
for
folks
is
the
range
anxiety
they
want
to
know
that
they're
going
to
be
able
to
charge
when
they
go
somewhere,
whether
it's
the
grocery
store
at
home
or
on
their
way
to
their
family
members
house.
So
it
is
a
little
bit
of
the
chicken
or
the
egg
scenario
is
sometimes
what's
preventing.
A
C
A
Mean
I'm
a
numbers
person,
so
it's
helpful
for
me,
I
mean
I
can
see,
increases
or
decreases,
but
I
don't
know
the
actual
quantity
and
I'd
like
to
have
that.
You
know
when
we
first
did
green
print,
which
some
people
have
criticized.
We
really
did
do
quite
a
bit
of
analysis,
as
mr.
Lawrence
said,
on
what
the
cost
benefit
was,
and
we
set
some
parameters
on
things
that
we
thought
were
really
going
to
have
the
greatest
bang
for
the
buck.
A
So,
ultimately,
I
think
we
do
need
to
set
specific
goals,
measure
those
goals
so
that
we
can
see
how
we're
doing
and
also
get
some
tangible
numbers
on
what
we
believe
the
ROI.
It's
going
to
be
and
I'd
like
to
do
that.
I
can
tell
you
Ruth
Eckerd
Hall,
which
is
a
city-owned
building
for
those
who
don't
know
it
is
going
to
be
replacing
their
roof
and
when
we
reached
out
to
Duke
to
see
if
they
would
be
interested
in
doing
a
solar
program,
because
the
roof
is
massive
and
it
is
not
blocked
by
trees.
A
G
Do
okay,
I
just
wanted
to
respond
or
chime
in
with
Sheridan's
comments
about
the
AV
stations,
charging
stations
and
I
will
say:
I
have
used
the
one
in
the
Garden
Street
Garage
once
with
I,
don't
have
a
Tesla
I
have
a
Chevy
Volt
and
a
bolt
that
I
enjoy
driving
our
range
on
the
Chevy
bolt
is
over
300
miles.
We
can
plug
it
into
a
110
charger,
but
where
we
go
most
frequently
is
to
Largo
Central
Park,
because
they
have
a
fast
charger.
You
plug
it
in
you're.
G
Looking
at
the
playground,
you
get
to
see
all
the
kids
playing
you
get
to
walk
around
the
park.
You
can
walk
over
to
the
library,
so
I
think
the
key
thing
is,
you
know
to
put
it
in
a
central
location
where
people
are
going
to
use
it.
I
would
bet
that
those
ones
located
at
the
beach
are
really
going
to
be
used.
Quite
a
bit.
St.
Pete
has
them
down
by
Central.
G
Avenue
people
are
using
them
frequently
and
you
know
you
go
in
and
plug
it
in
I
can
plug
it
in,
for
you
know,
20
minutes
and
get
80
miles
or
so
and
there's
and
it's
free
right
now
and
so
they're.
Those
municipalities
are
starting
them,
free
to
get
people
to
use
them
and
and
know
that
they're
there
and
and
that's
certainly
an
incentive
to
have
something
free
and
then
I
anticipate
as
people
buy,
more
evie
vehicles,
they'll
start
charging
and
that's
absolutely
reasonable.
G
I
mean
I'm
I've
paid
for
my
electric
charge
when
I
take
my
car
across
the
state
and
you
simply
use
an
app
on
your
phone
and
you
chart
out
where
the
chargers
are
you
pull
into
a
Dunkin
Donuts,
you
get
some
coffee,
you
charge
it
for
25
minutes
and
then
you
keep
going
so
there
is
a
little
anxiety.
I
know,
that's
why
I
have
a
volt
which
is
a
plug-in
hybrid
as
well.
G
G
J
G
G
I
had
one
other
thing
is
that
I
applaud
our
fleet
transitioning
from
diesel
to
natural
gas,
but
natural
gas
is
not
clean,
it's
cleaner,
but
it's
not
clean
and
and
I
do
appreciate.
Mr.
Hamilton's
comments
about
cooking
with
gas,
I
love
to
cook
with
gas
cast-iron
skillets,
but
an
induction
stovetop
is
also
pretty
impressive
and
it's
also
impressively
expensive.
But
it's
a
good
alternative.
G
J
So
member
bunker-
yes
I,
just
wanted
to
say
what
an
inspiration
Kathleen
was
to
me
on
the
campaign
trail
listening
to
her
personal
experiences,
how
solar
has
helped
her
save
an
enormous
amount
of
money
at
her
home
and
I
decided
to
swap
out
my
Ford
Fusion
Hybrid
for
a
used
Prius
hybrid,
getting
such
great
gas
mileage
from
that,
so
one
little
tip
in
case.
Anyone
from
the
Trump
administration
is
watching
I've,
never
understood
why
we
don't
do
a
partnership
with
somebody
like
McDonald's.
As
you
know,
you're
always
gonna
have
a
McDonald's
nearby.
A
B
You
mayor
approve
the
substantial
amendment
to
the
city
of
Clue,
Auditors
2019
2020
annual
action
plan
to
reallocate
unencumbered
funding
and
to
budget
for
additional
funding
provided
by
the
United
States
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development
to
address
needs
resulting
from
the
Kovach
19
emergency.
Mr.
Lane,
if.
K
You
chuckling
assistant
director
melon,
fell
in
the
housing
department.
The
two
trillion
dollar
cares:
two
trillion
dollar
care
package
that
President
Trump
recently
signed
into
bill
into
law,
included
an
allocation
of
three
billion
dollars
in
Community
Development
Block,
Grant
Program
money
to
be
distributed
by
the
same
formula
used
to
distribute
CDBG
annual
allocations
to
local
governments.
The
city
received
four
hundred
ninety
two
thousand
five
hundred
ninety
two
dollars
in
this
special
allocation.
This
money
is
intended
to
prepare
for
respond
to
and
recover
from
the
Yuko
vat19
crisis.
K
For
us
to
push
up
this
money,
we
need.
We
need
to
complete
what
it's
called
a
a
substantial
amendment
to
the
city's
annual
action
plan.
Every
five
years,
the
city
prepares
a
consolidated
plan,
identifying
the
goals
and
objectives
the
use
of
federal
funds
over
the
life
of
plan.
Those
federal
funds
are
home,
investment,
partnership,
program
funding
and
CDBG
a
we
also
complete
an
annual
action
plan,
identifying
activities
and
projects
that
are
consistent
with
that
consolidated
plan.
The
annual
action
plan
also
includes
a
budget
including
this
additional
CDBG
money
into
the
annual
action
plans
budget.
K
This
specifically
the
reason
triggering
the
requirement
for
the
substantial
amendment.
In
addition
to
this
special
allocation,
we
will
be
programming
unencumbered
current
year
funds
to
address
the
crisis
as
well,
so
I'd
like
to
give
you
an
overview
of
the
three
primary
activities
we
are
creating
with
these
federal
funds
in
response
to
Co
vat19,
one
CDBG
or
cdbg
regulations,
always
limit
expenditures
on
public
services
to
15
percent
of
a
given
year's
allocation
and
the
current
year.
K
Our
allocation
is
seven
hundred
sixty-four
thousand
forty
three
dollars,
so
our
public
service
cap
this
year
is
one
hundred
fourteen
thousand
six
hundred
six
dollars.
All
of
those
funds
are
accounted
for.
Hud
has
eliminated
the
public
service
cap
to
allow
additional
spending
on
public
services,
we're
planning
to
reprogram
131
thousand
dollars
for
public
service
organizations
whose
works
whose
work
helps
people
respond
to
the
crisis.
So
we
plan
to
contact
contractors
some
of
our
partners
that
we
think
can
help
people
respond
to
the
crisis.
K
Secondly,
we
will
provide
rent
mortgage
and
utility
payment
assistance
to
qualifying
clearwater
residents
that
do
not
qualify
for
Pinellas
County's
program.
The
cottage
program
will
serve
qualifying
clue
our
residents
unincorporated
and
incorporated
the
estimated
estimated
spending
about
seventy
five
million
dollars
on
this
program.
Countywide,
our
pot
of
money
is
much
smaller.
We
have
about
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
state
housing,
initiative,
Partnership,
Program
funding
and
budgeting.
Another
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
home
investment
partnership
program
funding,
witchers
courses,
HUD
for
a
total
project
budget
of
$600,000
well
manage
the
program
until
the
funds
are
depleted.
K
K
Income
qualifications
for
the
city's
program
will
be
those
households
whose
income
is
too
high
for
the
county
program
up
to
eighty
percent
of
area
median
income.
We
realize
that
there's
a
lot
of
folks
out
there
that
are
over
that
80%
level
that
need
assistance
as
well.
As
you
know,
our
programs,
which
are
funded
by
these
restrictive
dollars,
are
intended
to
serve
low
to
moderate
income
people.
K
K
These
will
go
into
further
detail
on
it,
but
in
simple
terms,
it's
a
grant
and
technical
assistance
program
qualifying
home-based
businesses
will
be
eligible
for
up
to
two
thousand
dollars
in
grant
funding
and
qualifying
brick-and-mortar
businesses
may
be
eligible
over
five
thousand
dollars
in
grant
funding
and
up
to
one
thousand
dollars
in
technical
assistance.
Cdbg
will
be
used
to
fund
a
portion
of
this
program.
We
have
currently
BG
agreements
with
Prospera
and
hippedy
black
business
investment
corporation.
They
currently
provide
technical
assistance
under
our
CDBG
micro
enterprise
program.
The
economic
development
and
housing
staff
will
perform.
K
The
initial
screening
of
applicants
to
design
determine
eligibility,
Prospera
and
tip
of
a
black
business
investment
corporation
will
conduct
a
deeper
screening
to
determine
what
types
of
technical
assistance
our
most
suit
are
best
suited
for.
Each
business.
Technical
services
include
legal
services,
accounting
services,
marketing
guidance
and
general
business
assistance,
the
annual
action
plan,
amendment
and
budgets,
CDBG
funding
in
the
amount
of
390
4072
for
dollars
towards
grant
grants
and
technical
assistance.
An
additional
ninety,
eight
thousand
five
hundred
eighteen
dollars
to
cover
an
administrative
cost
concludes
my
presentation.
I'll.
Take
any
questions.
Please.
G
Have
a
question
mr.
Lane
about
so
there
are
two
different
programs
that
you
just
mentioned:
the
one
that
Denise
and
the
Sanderson
is
gonna,
discuss
in
more
detail
in
a
few
minutes,
correct
and
then
you've
got
this
one
and
when
I
looked
at
the
the
graph
there's
a
home
emergency
rent
mortgage
utilities
assistance
it's
a
project,
and
it
should.
We
have
three
hundred
thousand
allocated
for
that
and
I
just
was
wondering:
how
are
our
residents
going
to
receive
that
that
assistance
and
what's
the
process
for
them
getting
some
of
that
$300,000?
K
G
C
A
Staff
was
going
through
this.
Are
there
any
things
that
gave
you
pause,
that
we're
gonna
be
sacrificing
as
we
shift
this
money,
I
mean
it's
all
about
triaging
and
prioritizing,
but
I
mean.
Was
there
anything
that
gnaws
at
you
that
you
say
down
the
road?
We're
not
going
to
be
able
to
do
X
Y,
&
Z,
because
we
are
shifting
these
dollars
well,.
K
Thankfully,
we
received
a
much
higher
allocation
and
chip
for
the
coming
year,
so
that
will
help
offset
what
more
than
offset
what
we're
spending
so
yeah.
It's
it
it's
a
bit
concerning,
and
we
have
to
keep
an
eye
on
on
the
money
we're
moving
out
of
housing
into
these
programs,
but
that
needs
there.
So
her
dressing
them
and.
A
B
Sorry,
no
problem
endorse
the
application
for
the
project
last
dance
and
commit
the
city
of
Clearwater
to
provide
local
financial
support
local
match
not
to
exceed
ten
thousand
dollars,
which
is
ten
percent
of
the
eligible
tax
refund,
upon
certification
by
a
state
of
Florida
Department
of
Economic
Opportunity
and
adopt
resolution
2020.
The
Sanders
good.
L
Morning,
Denise
Anderson,
director
of
economic
development
in
housing.
We
had
the
opportunity
to
briefly
discuss
the
state's
qualified
target
industry
tax
refund
program
during
one
on
one
phone
calls
last
week,
and
thank
you
for
that
time.
The
agenda
memo
provides
a
great
deal
of
information
about
the
program
and
the
local
match
contribution
being
requested.
L
M
L
As
service
technology
program
platforms,
known
as
a
sauce
and
das
in
the
tech
industry,
they'll
be
supporting
local,
national
and
global
brands
by
providing
them
leading-edge
marketing
and
advertising
solutions
and
I'll
quote
from
its
application,
because
I
really
have
no
idea
what
this
means.
But
it's
a
suite
of
artificial
intelligence,
powered
data
and
software
solutions
that
provides
marketers
with
the
tools
and
expertise
needed
to
orchestrate
omni
programs.
Omni-Channel
programs
seamlessly
currently
employing
poor
people
and
its
clearwater
location.
L
The
company
intends
on
hire
10
new
skills
and
technical
employees
from
the
area
in
the
first
year
and
a
total
of
20
over
the
five-year
period,
the
company
stated
in
its
application
that
it
is
committed
to
collaboration
in
the
community
and
will
continue
to
be
part
of
the
local
start
of
an
entrepreneurial
scene.
As
with
all
projects
considered
for
incentives,
staff
conducted
an
analysis
of
the
$10,000
local
match
incentive
or
the
job
creation
and
payout
period.
We
found
that
that
we
find
the
following.
L
In
addition
to
the
twenty
direct
jobs
that
the
company
will
hire,
the
project
will
generate
thirteen
point.
Four
spin-off
jobs
and
the
economic
modeling
shows
that
over
a
10-year
period,
the
city
will
be
receiving
a
net
benefit
with
a
rate
of
return
of
seventy
one
point:
two
percent
and
a
payback
period
of
1.5
years.
Finally,
funding
for
the
incentive
is
available
in
the
city's
economic
development
qti
program
count,
but
any
future.
Your
allocations
that
may
be
necessary
will
be
handled
in
budgeting
happy
to
take
any
questions.
This.
A
J
L
Does
occur
rather
frequently
under
Florida
law
statute
to
AAO
75,
any
economic
development
projects
and
negotiation
may
execute
confidentiality
as
long
as
they
meet
statutory
requirements.
This
project
did
so
so
you'll
find
that
that
happens
quite
often
as
a
matter
of
practice
in
our
office
we
typically
assign
a
code
name
simply
because
it's
easier
for
us
to
refer
to
that
project
by
code
name
alone,
but
this
particular
company
did
execute
confidentiality
and
we're
obligated
to
hold
that
on
your
penalty
of
law.
Very.
J
L
You
to
Sanderson
economic
development
and
housing
director
so
console.
We
had
some
time
as
well
last
week
to
talk
about
this
program
and
for
council
members
Beckman
and
Hamilton
I
apologize.
This
did
change
a
little
bit
from
our
discussion
on
Thursday,
but
I
think
in
the
end,
we
end
up
with
a
much
better
program
that
is
easier
for
us
to
manage
overall.
So
this
is
my
proposal
for
clear
workers
back
to
business,
grant
and
professional
services
program.
We
brought
this
to
you
in
concept
on
April,
16th
and
following
direction
provided
that
evening.
E
A
L
L
The
request
for
today
is
three
point.
Five.
Our
brother
for
Thursday
is
a
three
point:
five
million
dollar
general
fund
reserve.
It
will
be
allocated
to
eligible
brick-and-mortar
businesses
only
as
I
said
and
will
be
reimbursed
up
to
the
extent
possible
by
other
sources
of
funds
which
may
include
CRA
and
DDP
funds
and
any
other
funds
should
they
become
available,
including
federal
or
otherwise.
Cra
and
DDP
funds,
however,
must
be
approved
by
their
respective
boards
at
future
meetings.
L
The
half
million
dollars
in
CDBG,
approximately
of
CDBG
coed
funds
or
CB
funds,
as
we
call
them
here,
will
be
prioritized
for
home-based
businesses.
Any
remaining
funds
will
be
allocated
to
brick-and-mortar
establishments
in
terms
of
eligibility.
Qualifying
businesses
must
have
a
Clearwater
business
tax
receipt
for
the
current
year
and
business
operation
must
be
located
within
the
incorporated
limits
of
the
city
of
Clearwater.
They
must
have
one
to
twenty
five
full-time
equivalent
employees,
including
the
owner
and
full-time
employees
or
equivalent
employees,
are
calculated
at
a
rate
of
1,000
total
employee
hours
per
month.
L
Excuse
me
per
week,
operating
since
at
least
October
2019
is
also
a
consideration
and
still
open
on
February
29th
2020.
We
expect
to
return
to
a
business
should
expect
to
return
to
full
operation
within
a
reasonable
period
of
time.
Once
the
epidemic
has
passed
for
businesses
that
have
already
applied
for
or
received
funding
from
county
state
or
federal
programs,
they
are
still
eligible
to
receive
funding
under
this
program.
However,
the
grant
funds
must
cover
expenses
not
already
covered
by
those
programs
in
terms
of
eligible
business
types.
L
This
mirrors
very
closely
those
that
Pinellas
County
has
identified
as
well.
They
include
public
food
service
establishments,
bars
clubs
and
nightclubs
non-essential
businesses,
which
are
at
detailed
on
section
5
of
the
safer
at
home
order
and
for
Thursday
night
I
will
attach
this
as
an
exhibit
to
the
item
short-term
and
long
and
short-term
lodging
and
vacation
rental
rental
management
companies
is
lost,
places
of
public
assembly.
L
L
This
is
the
these
professional
services
must
be
selected
for
home-based
businesses
in
order
for
home-based
businesses
to
receive
any
grant,
they'll
need
to
digitally
sign
and
attest
that
all
information
is
truthful
and
the
process
should
take
about
15
to
20
minutes.
To
reply
in
terms
of
receiving
the
grant
brick-and-mortar,
businesses
must
submit
the
application
city
will
reveal
for
eligibility
within
five
business
days
and
then
a
three
thousand
dollar
check
will
be
issued,
just
forgive
the
busyness
of
this
slide,
but
for
processes
for
receiving
professional
services.
L
The
business
submits
that
completed
application
staff
will
review
it
for
eligibility.
We'll
refer
the
business
to
the
nonprofit
partner
agency,
which
will
include
both
Prospera
and
Tampa
Bay
black
business
investment
corporation
as
well
as
amplified
Clearwater.
The
agency
will
match
the
business
to
the
professional
service
providers.
It
can
be
a
combination
of
providers
up
to
a
thousand
dollars
and
the
business
completes
that
program.
It
should
require
a
minimum
of
four
hours,
probably
eight
hours
of
professional
support.
L
All
of
these
fees
are
to
be
paid
by
the
city
and
then
the
city
once
completed,
applicants
documentation
is
received
by
our
office
will
process
the
gram
which
again
is
up
to
$2,000
for
home-based
businesses
or
flat
rate
$2,000
for
brick
and
mortar
keeping
in
mind
that
this
program
is
really
intended
to
support
long-term
business
recovery.
Applicants
should
not
expect
immediate
payment
of
funds
because
of
that
professional
services
program
requirement,
but
partner
agencies
and
staff
will
endeavor
to
expedite,
to
the
extent
that
we're
able.
L
Funding
distribution-
and
this
is
a
bit
of
a
guess
here-
we
certainly
will
do
all
that
we
can
to
maximize
funding
opportunities,
but
the
applications
will
be
reviewed
on
a
first
completed
application,
first-served
basis
until
all
funds
are
expended
and
once
an
applicant
is
deemed
eligible
for
professional
services,
the
city
will
reserve
the
subsequent
grant
funds.
Should
someone
not
complete
those
professional
services
will,
of
course
reallocate
under
CDBG
rules.
L
H
H
I
want
to
make
sure
I'm
investigating
in
the
right
place
and
with
the
right
companies
so
that
we
get
the
biggest
bang
for
our
buck.
So
I'm
wondering:
can
we
start
out
with
less
with
a
smaller
number,
see
how
it
progresses
see
how
effective
it
is
and
if
we
ultimately
need
to
put
a
little
more
money
into
it,
we
can
do
it
at
a
later
date
and
if
anybody's
agrees
with
that
approach,.
L
A
L
It's
actually
a
question
in
there,
so
forgive
me
for
my
hesitation.
Certainly
the
council
has
the
ability
to
approve
whatever
amount
of
funding
they
wish
to
do
so,
and
in
fact,
should
they
not
choose
to
approve
a
reserved
allocation?
D
N
We
did
take
a
look
at
the
legality
of
this,
and
what
will
be
key
is
the
findings
that
the
council
makes
as
to
public
benefit.
So
the
res.
If
you
look
at
the
resolution
which
is
attached
to
your
agenda
packet,
it
outlines
certain
findings
that
you
will
be
making
to
determine
that
this
is
appropriate
use
of
the
city
funds.
So
you
will
find
that
there
is
a
public
benefit
as
well
as
a
public
need,
and
there
are
a
number
of
specific
findings
that
you
will
be
making.
L
And
so,
when
I
look
at
it
through
the
economic
development
lens,
there
are
three
criterion
in
which
we
always
evaluate
a
project.
One
is
the
direct
job
creation,
or
in
this
case,
perhaps
the
retention
of
direct
jobs.
One
is
the
indirect
or
spin-off
jobs.
It
often
can
be
viewed
as
economic
activity
that
creates
those,
and
so,
with
this
program,
would
we
be
generating
economic
activity.
Certainly
it's
intended
that
these
three
thousand
dollar
grant
funds
to
brick
and
mortar
would
be
used
to
pay
vendors,
some
of
those
things
and
so
keeping
that
economic
activity
going.
L
But
that
is
certainly
the
premise
of
the
professional
services
program,
as
well
as
to
generate
economic
activity,
not
only
through
those
service
providers
but
through
the
administrative
fees
we'll
be
providing
to
those
nonprofit
corporations
mentioned
they'll,
also
be
able
to
pull
in
some
additional
funds
and
and
presumably
retain
some
of
their
staff
as
a
result,
and
then,
finally,
we
look
at
the
ROI.
What
that
means
is,
does
the
city
gain
any
benefit
from
this,
and,
while
it's
very
difficult
to
tell
for
all
the
reasons
you
just
mentioned,
mr.
A
A
I
understand,
councilmember
Hamilton's
concerns
that
this
may
not
be
enough
money.
I
hope
it
will
make
enough
of
a
difference
and
that
we're
qualifying
people,
that's
something
miss
Anderson
and
I
talked
about
at
length,
I'm,
also
hoping
that
there
is
probably
going
to
be
another
Care
Act
expenditure
that
may
go
down
to
cities
our
size.
My
understanding
is
the
county
got
170
million
they're
using
thirty
five
million
of
that
in
a
program
that
opens
today
that
I
would
encourage
anybody
listening.
It
would
be
entitled
to
go
to
the
county's
website
and
apply
for
that.
Grant.
A
I
am
disappointed
that
the
money
is
not
filtering
down
to
cities
like
safety,
Clearwater
Largo,
where
we
have
a
large
business
population
that
you
know.
We
know
how
to
help
them,
but
I
am
hopeful
that
we
will
get
some
money
to
reimburse
the
general
fund
down
the
road,
but
we'll
see
at
some
point.
The
federal
government
also
has
to
stop
pretty
money
so
we'll
see,
but
I
will
be
supporting
this
on
Thursday.

director.
The

requested
the
city
vacate
a
portion
of
a

to
allow
construction
of
an

for
this
new

No

staff
has
reviewed
this
vacation
request
and
have
no
objections.
Any
questions
any.
P
Morning,
mayor
councilmembers,
my
name
is
Sarah
Kessler
lead
environmental
specialist
at
the
engineering
department.
This
resolution
is
for
the
adoption
of
the
local
mitigation
strategy
also
referred
to
as
the
LMS.
The
object
of
the
LMS
is
to
develop
a
blueprint
intended
to
provide
unified
and
consistent
course
of
action
needed
to
eliminate
and
reduce
the
impact
of
disasters
that
threaten
all
of
the
municipalities
in
Pinellas
County
potential
mitigation
projects
are
also
included
in
the
LMS.
Several
clear
water
projects
are
on
the
list,
including
a
few
public
utility
projects.
P
Public
utilities
was
able
to
apply
for
the
hazard
mitigation
that
hazard
mitigation
grant
program
after
Hurricane
ARMA
because
of
the
projects
that
were
on
this
mitigation
list.
City,
emergency
management
and
planning
divisions
had
opportunities
to
review
and
comment
on
the
document
prior
to
the
final
version.
The
final
version
is
located
online
at
Pinellas
LMS
rrg.
If
anybody
wants
to
look
at
the
full
document,
this
plan
is
updated
every
five
years
and
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions.
Any.
G
Miss
Kessler
Sarah,
do
you
who
works
with
the
city?
Is
that
we
have
a
city
representative
that
works
with
this
County
group.
I
am.
P
G
So
one
of
the
questions
I
have
annotated
on
my
on
that
document.
Attached
to
the
agenda
is
if,
if
the
purpose
is
to
develop
a
blueprint
of
action
to
eliminate
or
reduce
the
impact
of
disasters
that
threaten
Pinellas,
County
and
its
municipalities,
does
it
include
taking
action
to
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
to
restrict
or
eliminate
building
and
flood
zones
or
right
on
the
water,
those
kinds
of
things
because
I
know
it
mentioned
it's
hard
to
quantify
or
just
you
know,
to
really
I
guess:
quantify
human
behavior
as
contributing
to
that.
P
G
P
G
P
It
would
be
related
to
it
so
by
reducing
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
we
are
helping
with
sea
level
rise.
So
if
there
are
actions
that
the
city
could
take,
we
could
potentially
put
not
a
mitigation
list
and
have
that
related
to
a
sea
level
rise
and
elimination
of
that
hazard
or
mitigation
of
that
hazard.
Okay,
thanks
other.

order,

to
waterfront
Engineering
Inc
of
Tampa
Florida
for
fifty

Seventy
nine
dollars
of
fifty
cents
and
authorize
the
appropriate
officials
to
execute
thank
miss
Kessler.
P
Good
morning
again,
Sara
Kessler
engineering
department,
this
change
order
is
for
the
sequel
project.
This
change
or
the
seawall
project
is
for
an
additional
seawall
location
and
handed
him
den
Drive
and
third
Avenue.
This
site
was
identified
as
having
voids
behind
the
seawall
after
a
resident
contacted
the
city
with
turbidity
concerns
in
front
of
the
seawall,
so
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Questions.
P
P
Surveying
the
sea
walls
again
just
to
see
what
their
condition
is,
because
it's
been
a
little
while,
since
we've
done
that,
and
so
at
that
time
we'll
assess
whether
sea
walls
need
to
be
raised.
We
don't
want
to
raise
them
if
the
adjacent
property
owners
haven't
raised
theirs,
necessarily
just
because
that's
going
to
cause
a
you
know
erosion
issues,
so
it
really
has
to
be
a
comprehensive
plan
to
figure
out
which
specific
walls
need
to
be
raised,
and
how
how
to
do
that.
So
we
don't
create
additional
problems.
Aren't.
A
P
I
I
If
your
neighbor
has
not
done
that
to
to
make
sure
that
the
you
know,
there's
no
erosion
on
there,
but
I
would
recommend
highly
that
if
we're
gonna
be
replacing
sea
walls
that
we
do,
you
know
give
it
a
little
extra
height
to
it.
Just
makes
sense
to
me
it
doesn't
make
sense
to
keep
it
the
way
they
were
built
in
1960.
You
know.
A
That's
something
we
can
talk
about,
miss
Kessler
going
forward,
because
that's
how
I
feel
I
mean
we
ought
to
be
starting
to
spend
a
little
bit
of
money
on
prevention.
This
could
be
a
30
year
process,
but
you
know
when
we
get
a
marginal
storm,
it
could
be
the
difference
between
a
property,
flooding
and
not
flooding,
and
over
time
we
can
get
to
a
higher
level.
Councilmember
Amelie
yeah.
H
I
think
when
you
look
at
the
project,
if
you're
gonna
do
it
and
you're
gonna
raise
it
six
inches
to
raise
it
another
six
inches
total
doesn't
double
the
cost
you're
only
talking
about
the
basically
the
cost
of
the
additional
concrete,
because
you're
still
to
have
the
time
backs.
You're
still
going
to
have.
You
know
the
other,
the
other
expenses
you're
talking
about
it's
basically
just
more
concrete,
a
little
rebar.
H
I
The
seawall
was
not,
it
did
cost
me
a
little
more
because
I
had
to
raid
the
grade
raised
the
grade
on
my
back
yard
and
then
resides
so
that
that
additional
cost,
but
the
seawall
cost
was
I
mean
they
didn't
have
to
take
out
the
old
cap.
They
just
ended
up
putting
a
new
cap
on
top
of
it,
and
then
you
know
pouring
over
it.
So
right.
F
B
Is
bill?
I
also
think
we
may
want
to
also
take
a
look
at
what
kind
of
engagement
do
we
need
to
have
with
the
property
owners
if
we're.
If
we're
going
to
start
doing
this,
and
we've
already
identified
some
potential
impacts
on
on
adjacent
property
energy,
it
may
be
just
as
good
for
us
to
look
at
this
in
a
little
broader
context.
You
know
how
do
we
communicate
this
to
the
community,
so
that
no
one
is
is
surprised,
you
know
when
we
start
to
do
it
so.
I
B
P
A
There
the
opportunity
to
mitigate
the
erosion
issues,
understanding
that
there
would
be
an
extra
expenditure,
but
as
long
as
we're
doing
this
I
think
it
is
judicious
to
Rings
the
seawall
12
inches
rather
than
sex
I
mean
at
some
point.
You
just
have
to
decide.
That's
the
direction
you're
gonna
go
in
and
I
would
rather
delay
this.
If
there
are
some
covetous
shoes
with
getting
the
contractor
out
there-
or
you
know
it
takes
us
another
council
meeting
to
approve
this
I
think
the
right
time
to
start
is
now.

Mr.
Porter
good.
Q
Morning,
everyone
David
Porter,
Public,
Utilities,
Director
I,
come
to
you
this
morning
to
ask
you
for
the
authority
to
execute
agreement
with
the
environmental
I
mean
Florida
Department
of
Environmental
Protection
to
settle
an
agreement
with
them
and
the
way
of
doing
a
in-kind
project.
The
in-kind
project
is
mr.
Horne
said,
would
be
at
least
eighty
thousand
three
hundred
thirty-eight
dollars.
Ninety
six
cents
I
want
to
thank
all
the
council
members
for
taking
the
time
last
week
to
meet
with
me
individually
over
the
the
teleconference
to
discuss
this
issue.
I
Q
So
one
of
the
one
of
the
conditions
doing
a
project
like
this
as
an
in-kind
project
is,
it
has
to
be
a
project,
that's
not
already
underway,
so
it
has
to
be
a
project.
That's
in
addition
to
the
work
that
we're
doing
already,
and
it
has
to
be
some
wedding
related
to
mitigating
any
issues
with
control,
tration
and
info
and
how
we
can
pieces
SSO.
So
it
would
have
to
be
something
different,
I.
A
G
Wanted
to
take
the
opportunity
to
say
thank
you
to
mr.
Porter
for
his
long
thoughtful
detailed
conversation
with
me
and
I
know.
I
have
a
lot
of
supporters
that
care
about
our
environment,
as
everyone
here
does,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
articulate
some
of
the
information
that
mr.
Porter
shared
with
me
about
the
articulated
spills
in
that
one
of
them
was
a
larger
one,
was
related
to
power
outage
with
a
Duke
Energy
power
outage
in
the
and
a
pump,
and
that
we
report
every
single
spill,
even
the
small
ones
that
are
not
required.
G
And
so,
when
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong.
But
when
a
certain
number
of
these
spills
build
up,
then
the
Environmental
Protection
Agency
puts
forth
a
fine
or
a
penalty
and
that
we've
decided,
rather
than
paying
that
penalty,
that
we
will
incur
more
expenses
to
do
some
kind
of
in-kind
project
and
that
you're
thinking
that
our
in-kind
project
is
going
to
relate
to
some
of
these
areas
that
were
weak
spots,
where
the
spills
happened.
G
M
G
So
I
think
that
makes
perfect
sense
and-
and
you
know
in
in
speaking
to
to
some
of
my
I-
have
a
great
friend
resident,
who
was
a
former
federal
Environmental,
Protection
Agency
investigator
and
said
these
things
do
happen
and
that
we
do
have
an
aging
infrastructure
and
it
will
never
be
perfect,
but
that
we
can
work
very
hard
to
to
fix
these
and
prevent
them
from.
Q
G
Q
G
Q
B
J
A
question
I
just
wanted
to
again
thank
David
for
the
detailed
explanation
that
he
gave
each
of
us
leading
up
to
this
meeting
here.
It
was
a
thorough
explanation
and
I
think
the
the
fact
that
the
city
is
spending
more
money
to
actually
address
the
problem
rather
than
just
paying
a
fine
is
the
right
thing
to
do.
B
N
E
Thank
you
good
morning,
mayor
members
of
council,
Michael,
Foley,
no
assistant
city
attorney.
This
agenda
item
requests
authority
to
settle
code
enforcement,
leaving
foreclosure
against
the
commercial
property.
The
property
has
been
brought
into
full
compliance
with
the
city's
codes.
The
settlement
offer
is
to
settle
for
$100,000,
in
which
case
the
city
you
will
dismiss.
The
case
satisfies
certain
common
for
asthma
cleanings
for
violations
on
that
property,
Andrew
least
partially
release
the
property
from
other
code
enforcement
liens
different
products
and
without,
if
you
have
any
questions,
are
not
to
be
answered.
N
A
N
Proven
ooovo
legal
services
agreement
with
neighbors,
Giblin
and
Nickerson
to
serve
as
disclosure
counsel
for
a
period
of
three
years,
beginning
May,
15
2020
and
authorized
the
appropriate
officials
to
execute,
say
but
counsel.
This
is
the
the
disclosure
counsel
for
our
bond
issues
this.
This
is
also
an
additional
period
of
time
for
them.
They
have
been
our
bond
counsel.
Excuse
me,
our
disclosure
counsel,
for
several
years.
You
know
any.
D
B
We
have
provided
you
with
at
least
Joelle,
provided
you
with
some
reports
that
kind
of
chronicled
some
of
the
complaints
we
receive
and
also
I
believe
mr.
foster
is
available
and
Earl.
Would
you
just
kind
of
summarize
you
know
kind
of
where
we
are
today
and
then
then
the
mayor
I
think
has
has
some
thoughts
that
he'd
like
to
share,
but
good.
R
Morning,
roster
directors
of
solid
waste,
General
Services
well
today,
I'm
happy
to
report
that
we
resumed
our
collections
of
yard
waste
and
bulk
items
effective
at
7
o'clock.
This
morning
we
began
that
process,
so
all
the
complaints
you
should
die
down
now
that
we're
back
on
the
streets
and
collecting
those
materials.
As
you
know,
we
suspended
that
process
on
April
10th,
so
that
we
could
determine
how
we
would
better
be
able
to
protect
our
our
employees
working
in
closed
quarters.
We
wanted
to
ensure
that
we
were
able
to
protect
them
from
contracting
this
Ronna
virus.
D
A
A
D
G
Wanted
to
say,
I
appreciate
all
that
the
solid
waste
people
do
for
our
city
and
I
am
concerned
about
the
the
employees
who
are
in
the
truck
handling
bulk
items
because
I
don't
think
it's
particularly
safe
to
do
so.
It's
not
following
the
CDC
guidelines
and
and
I
just
you
know,
I
want
to
go
on
the
record
that
I'm
I'm
concerned
about
that.
D
G
R
What
we've
done
to
address
that
I
mean
it's
the
nature
of
our
business.
We're
not
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
cook
completely
comply
with
those
CDC
guidelines
is
simply
the
nature
of
our
business,
we're
ensuring
that
everyone
has
a
mask
as
they
go
out
into
take
where
the
master
the
course
of
the
day.
They
have
gloves
already
leather
clothes
that
they
have,
and
we
you
know
in
in
the
cab
of
the
truck.
R
There
is
some
some
distance,
but
not
a
lot
but
they're
supposed
to
we're
here
then
instructed
to
wear
the
mask
while
they're
in
the
truck
close
to
each
other,
and
there
were
some
trucks
where
we
had
three
people
in
a
truck
in
a
cab.
We've
reduced
that
to
two,
and
now
we
have
a
person
in
a
change
truck
that
gets
out
when
there's
large
piles
and
they
help
to
load
the
trucks.
So.
F
A
R
A
D
R
A
Continuously,
yes,
sir
I
mean
we've
received
a
lot
of
emails.
I
think
everybody
is
uncomfortable
with
recycling
materials,
you
know
being
mixed
with
the
rest
of
the
garbage,
but
the
reality
is
that's
going
to
change
now
and
we
still
have
picked
up
everybody's
trash,
be
it
recyclables
trash
yard
waste.
A
Have
we
failed
to
give
the
service
that
was
promised?
It
may
not
have
been
given
in
as
timely
a
manner
as
everybody
is
accustomed
to
in
the
city
of
Clearwater,
because
I
think
we
have
the
finest
solid
waste
department
in
the
county
by
far,
but
the
reality
is
is
that
all
of
the
waste
was
in
fact
picked
up,
and
so
do
you
believe
that
we
ought
to
be
rebaiting
people
I
talked
to
some
who
said:
I
have
a
$3
on
my
bill.
It's
three
dollars
and
11
cents
for
recyclables
those
were
still
taken
away.
A
The
citizen
didn't
have
to
deal
with
them.
It
didn't
go
into
the
normal
waste
stream
as
they
expected,
but
I
think
we
need
to
ask
philosophically
if
we
believe
that
a
rebate
is
due
and
my
stance
is
no,
we
were
also
still
paying
our
employees,
which
is
important
that
we've
all
kept
them
economically
stable
and
hopefully
they're
spending
money.
So
I'd
love
to
hear
everybody's
point
of
view.
Vice
mayor,
yeah,.
I
You
know
the
city,
the
city
does
a
good
job
of
services
are
and,
like
you
said,
they've
always
picked
it
up,
even
though
they've
mixed
it
or
the
trash
truck
is
picking
up
recycling.
But
you
know
a
lot
of
that.
Wasn't
are
really
wasn't
our
fault.
I
mean
it
was
because
Tampa
wasn't
taken
recycling
and
then
we
didn't
want
to
spend
the
extra
money
to
take
it
all
the
way
down
to
Sarasota
that
doesn't
make
any
sense.
I
So
I
tell
my
people
that
that
are
concerned
about
it
look
at
least
we're
getting
some
recycling
on
it,
we're
sending
it
to
the
incinerator
and
they're
making
electricity
out
of
it.
Okay.
So
it's
something
that's
not
going
to
last
a
long
time
and
looks
like
we're
getting
back
this
week
to
to
normal
so
everybody's
in
this
together.
Everybody
needs
to
understand
that
and
we're
doing
the
best
we
can.
So
that's
my
two
cents.
Thank.
H
Guess
all
I
can
really
say
is
I
agree
with
you
as
far
as
no
rebates
or
anything
because
it's
still
gotten
picked
up
now.
As
far
as
once,
it's
picked
up
and
taken
away
from
their
home
the
decision
not
to
do
the
recycling
side
of
it
and
send
it
all
to
the
incinerator.
That's
a
decision.
We
have
to
make
economically
to
be
prudent
with
the
taxpayers
money,
and
so
we
do.
We
do
that.
H
Now
picking
up
the
yard
waste.
My
understanding
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
if
somebody's
a
health
expert
out
there,
but
if
that
yard
waste
is
put
out
on
the
out
on
the
street
on
Monday
night
in
the
case
of
my
neighborhood,
if
I
put
yard
waste
out
on
Monday
night
and
it
gets
picked
up
Tuesday
morning,
any.
J
R
J
A
Got
up
coming
back,
councilmember
bunker,
first
of
all,
I
wouldn't
I,
wouldn't
support
personally
us
giving
money
back
to
only
people
who
complained
either.
We
think
it's
right
that
everybody
have
rebated,
because
we
didn't
provide
a
service
that
they
were
charged
for,
and
that
means
everybody
ought
to
get
the
money
back.
But
my
stance
is
those
recyclables
were
taken
away.
Now
they
didn't
go
into
the
recycling
stream.
A
The
way
it
normally
does,
but
bottles
cans,
newspaper
cardboard,
they're,
not
sitting
at
the
residents
homes
we
took
it
away,
their
only
gripe
might
be
if
you
are
committed
to
recycling
that
it
didn't
get
recycled
and
I
think
under
the
circumstances,
it's
understandable.
If
this
we're
gonna
be
ongoing
for
the
next
six
months,
then
I
think
I
definitely
relook
at
charging
a
recycling
fee.
But
again,
as
I
said,
we
didn't
stop
paying
employees
and
we
still
picked
up
all
the
waste
yeah.
So
we
can
MIT
have
a
motion
on
Thursday.
J
I'm
just
looking
at
it
as
a
consumer
dealing
with
bills
from
from
companies
generally,
if
somebody
you
know,
takes
the
step
to
say:
well,
here's
$3
back,
you
know!
Oh,
oh
I,
really
like
them.
It
would
be
nice
if
the
people
of
clear
water
who
are
upset
could
go.
Oh
at
least
they
gave
me
$3
back,
but
I
understand
your
points
and
I'm
not
gonna
push
it
I
just
wanted
to
check
how
costly
that
would
be.
That's
mayor.
B
This
is
this
is
bill
if
I
can
make
a
comment
just
to
remind
everyone
during
hurricane
season
and
when
you
can
think
think
of
how
many
hurricanes
we've
had
over
the
last
20
years.
There
are
times
when
we
have
had
to
suspend
normal
municipal
delivery
service.
Now
you
know
hurricane
season,
I
mean
the
hurricane
event,
isn't
as
long
as
what
we're
experiencing
under
Kovac
19,
but
nevertheless
we
suspended
the
activity.
We
we
still
caught
up
and
and
and
removed
everything
you
will
always
have
some
people
who
feel
like.
B
J
G
To
be
on
the
record,
I
I
agree
with
councilmember
Albritton,
you
know:
we've
generated
X
amount
of
waste
and
X
amount
of
recycles
and
those
things
were
picked
up
every
single
week
and
it
to
me,
I
I
wish
my
recycles
went
into
a
recycling
facility,
but
they
took
it
away
and
now
they're
resuming
it
and
any
salt
large
bulk
waste
yard
waste.
You,
you
know,
store
it
for
a
while
and
now
they're
gonna
come
and
pick
it
up,
so
I
I
would
not
be
an
in
favor
of
any
any
refund.
A
A
A
G
Thank
You
mayor
so
I
asked
to
put
this
on
the
agenda
because
I'm
I'm
happy
that
we
have
amplified
working
on
a
business
recovery
proposal
that
they're
going
to
present
on
on
Thursday.
We
have
the
clearwater
neighborhoods
coalition,
that's
kind
of
worked
together
to
offer
suggestions
on
how
we
might
best
address
the
needs
of
our
residents
and
neighborhoods,
and
I
just
feel
that
we,
as
a
city
council
with
the
weight
of
that
title
behind
us,
can
make
a
statement
to
our
governor
in
in
support
of
improving
our
unemployment
benefits.
G
Unemployment
insurance
program
to
better
support
our
workers
and
we're
amplify
is
looking
out
for
business
owners
and
those
positive
actions
will
hopefully
trickle
down
to
our
workers,
and
cnc
is
looking
out
for
our
neighborhoods
and
residents.
I
think
we
need
to
speak
for
our
workers
and
and
and
so
I've
I've,
composed
a
draft
of
a
letter
to
send
to
our
governor
articulating.
It
simply
says
that,
as
members
of
our
City
Council,
we
feel
that
our
state
has
inadequate
unemployment
benefits
program
and
the
distribution
of
that
program
needs
to
be
improved.
G
And
so
you
know,
I
have
a
paragraph
that
talks
about
how
tourism
makes
up
a
significant
part
of
Clearwater's
economic
base
that
we
are
speaking
collectively
on
behalf
of
over
25
percent
of
our
who
work
in
our
food
hospitality
and
retail
establishments
and
addressing
the
fact
that
we
have.
You
know
we
have
our
275
dollar
per
week.
G
The
truth
is,
we
have
a
number
of
our
residents
who
will
be
unemployed
for
a
very,
very
long
time,
far
longer
than
twelve
weeks,
and
we
do
have
a
number
of
our
businesses
that
are
most
likely
to
not
come
back
and
hire
their
full
workforce,
and
so
I
think
you
know
sending
a
letter
from
our
city
that
urges
the
the
governor
to
take
some
specific
actions
and
I
know
he's
taken
some
actions
in
the
last
couple
of
weeks.
But
you
know,
I
have
articulated
four
steps
to.
G
G
So
I've
talked
to
a
number
of
our
residents.
How
are
you
doing?
Have
you
gotten
your
unemployment
benefits
and
if
they
don't
get
through
the
state
system,
they
don't
get
that
$600
through
the
federal
system.
So
there
are
a
number
of
people
that
have
received
none
and
when
I'm
out
there
working
in
the
you
know
at
the
food
distribution,
you
know
those
lines
just
get
longer
and
longer
so
I'm
concerned
and
I.
Just
think
I
think
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
could
put
forth
a
symbol
like
requests.
G
I
I,
just
hadn't
had
really
much
time
to
go
through
and
to
digest
a
letter,
but
I
do
agree
that
we
have
a
horrible
system
in
Florida
that
very
needs.
They
need
to
revamp
the
whole
system
because
I
know
there's
people
out
there
that
aren't
getting
and
it
is
attached
to
the
federal.
So
if
they
can't
get
through
the
state,
they're
gonna
get
their
relief
from
the
federal.
So
I
guess.
My
question
would
be
to
pay
him
on
this.
How
we
would
at
representing
the
city
how
what
we
would
need?
A
There
are
some
things
in
your
letter.
Councilmember
Beckman
that
I
agree
with
I
have
been
in
touch
with
all
of
our
legislative
delegation
for
Clearwater,
and
you
know
that
I
have
been
trying
to
help
individuals
as
the
requests
come
in
and
all
of
the
representatives
have
been
very
responsive
to
my
requests.
A
A
Also
we
are
dealing
with
a
tsunami
of
unemployment
claims,
unlike
any
system,
would
be
prepared
for
so
I'm,
always
in
support
of
sending
letters
to
government
above
us
for
things
we
either
support
for
things
we
oppose,
but
to
point
out
that
they're
doing
a
poor
job
on
something
that
is,
in
my
opinion.
At
this
point,
common
knowledge
doesn't
really
help.
I
mean
this
is
like
having
a
national
political
convention
and
the
Super
Bowl
all
on
the
same
weekend
and
having
a
hurricane
evacuation.
A
I've
also
talked
to
representative
Lott
valla,
and
he
has
sent
me
some
information
that
I
forward
it
to
you
this
morning.
When
I
got
it
about
how
the
system
is
improving,
it
is
still
broken.
I
do
not
disagree
with
that
fact
and
for
anybody
watching
who's
trying
to
apply
they
need
to
quit
putting
in
additional
applications.
A
They
need
to
go
and
find
the
original
application
that
they
put
in,
because
what
they're
finding
is
the
system
is
crashing
also
because
people
are
duplicating
their
application
over
and
over
again
so
they'll
have
a
single
person,
that's
put
in
eight
to
ten
applications
which
is
blowing
up
the
system,
but
mistaken.
Do
you
want
to
go
ahead
and
comment?
Yes,.
N
Sir,
you
have
traditionally
followed
one
or
two
methods
either
having
a
resolution
which
is
passed
by
Council,
with
basically
the
same
information
that
the
letter
would
have
or
a
letter
which
is
signed
by
all
of
you
or
one
that
is
signed
by
the
mayor.
So
you
can
either
do
it
by
a
letter
or
by
resolution.
G
Did
you
know
so?
You
know
I
appreciate
you
having
our
representatives
come
and
speak
with
us,
but-
and
you
did
acknowledge
that
it
is
broken,
but
we
just
don't
want
to
use
that
language.
In
a
letter,
I
mean
I,
can
finesse
the
letter
and-
and
you
know,
put
forth
another
draft,
but
your
your
statement
that
that
our
legislators
are
now
saying
not
to
reapply
I
believe
it
was
an
article
in
this
weekend's
Tampa
Bay
Times,
where
it
said
that
the
State
Department
of
Economic
Opportunity
is
saying
you
do
need
to
reapply.
G
They
are
urging
people
to
reapply
so
I
might
have
my
you
know,
information
wrong
or
I
mean
I.
Have
it
yeah
I
mean
they
were?
It
said
yeah
on
April
28th,
the
Tampa
Bay
Times
reported
that
Department
of
Environment
Economic
Opportunity
is
informing
people
who
were
deemed
quote
ineligible
that
they
might
indeed
be
eligible.
They
are
telling
two
people
to
reapply
online,
so.
A
The
search
for
the
people
that
were
ineligible,
but
there
are
also
people
that
have
not
heard
back
that
it
then
applying
multiple
times,
and
that
is
swelling
the
system.
It's
just
what
I
was
told
directly
by
one
of
the
representatives.
Hopefully
the
senator
can
shine
some
additional
light.
I
was
told
if
they
are
calling
the
hotline
that
the
best
time
to
do
it
is
between
2:00
and
5:00
o'clock
p.m.
A
A
So
when
we
put
that
language
in
without
understanding
what
it
does
to
the
overall
state
budget,
I'd
want
a
little
bit
more
information
on
that,
because
I,
don't
know
what
we're
actually
asking
for.
What
does
that
dollar
amount?
Look
like
I
will
tell
you
one
of
the
other
things
that
was
frightening
is
that
the
senator
told
me
that
there
may
be
the
necessity
that
employers
double
the
payment
that
they
are
making
for
unemployment
insurance
to
make
up
for
the
reserves
that
are
being
depleted
right
now,
which
unfortunately,
will
probably
result
in
employers
employing
fewer
people.
A
So
there's
a
lot
of
unintended
consequences
and
unknown
consequences
that
I
don't
even
think
we
are
aware
of
yet.
But
you
know
over
the
next
several
months
we
will
be
made
aware
of,
and
do
you
just
understand
why
I
don't
want
to
castigate
another
segment
of
government
when
they
already
have
known
and
have
identified
that
there
is
a
problem.
I
do.
G
I
do
and
I
don't
I'm,
not
necessarily
saying
it
is
our
current
governor's.
You
know
fault,
but
it
hasn't
been
rectified
since
he's
been
in
office
but
I,
you
know,
and
it
is
a
tsunami
of
a
crisis
and
and
all
that,
but
it
does
bring
to
light
and
and
changes
need
to
be
made
and
minimally
in
responding
to
applicants
like
right
now.
G
If
we're
gonna
talk
about
raising
two
hundred
and
seventy-five
dollars
a
week
for
12
weeks,
that's
that's
a
conversation
to
be
had
in
the
future,
but
as
far
as
addressing
people
actually
getting
through
the
system
and
getting
their
payments
you
know
sent
to
them
is
needs
whether
he
hires
more
staff
or
whatever
you
know,
they're
going
to
do
at
the
state
level.
They've
got
to
take
that
action
like
yesterday.
Well.
A
H
Truly
hope
I
don't
step
in
it
here,
but
but
truly
there's
no
question.
Nobody
disputes,
even
if
the
gut
from
the
governor's
office
that
the
unemployment
process-
and
you
know
the
process
that
the
state
has
is
inadequate
for
or
for
the
pandemic.
However,
the
pandemic
is
a
something
that
no
one
could
ever
foresee
the
magnitude
of
something
like
this.
Now,
that
being
said,
the
12-week
unemployment-
you
know
a
lot
of
this
stuff.
When
you
look
back
before
the
pandemic
started.
H
What
would
we
were
at
full
employment
in
this
state,
so
12
weeks
of
unemployment
was
probably
sufficient
because
there
were
jobs
available.
That
is
not
the
case
right
now,
so
to
change
that
12
week,
just
because
this
pandemic,
you
know,
if
you
might
want
to
make
a
temporary
change
to
it.
That's
up
to
the
governor
and
and
the
state
level
to
make
that
change,
but
yeah,
but
the
other
part
that
I
I
want
to
make
a
point
of
and
I'm,
not
meaning
this
I
don't
mean
it
to
be
derogatory
towards
anyone
or
anything
like
that.
H
But
when
you're
talking,
we
are
a
you
know:
hospitality,
industry,
driven
state
hospitality,
industry,
jobs
are
not
all
high
wage
jobs,
but
between
what
the
federal
government
at
six
hundred
a
week,
plus
the
state
at
two
and
a
quarter
a
week
or
two
250
a
week.
Whatever
you
get,
you
know
to
some
hospitality
positions:
I
don't
want
to
see
unemployment
benefits,
become
an
incentive
not
to
go
back
to
work.
H
I
mean
that's,
you
know,
that's
not
helping
our
industry,
that's
not
helping
our
city,
that's
not
helping
our
state
so,
but
I
believe
you
know,
people
that
are
unemployed
due
to
this
pandemic
need
the
revenue
they
need
that
money
and
we
need
to
be
able
to
do
it,
but
in
the
long
term,
again
I,
don't
think
unemployment
should
be
an
incentive
not
to
go
to
work.
That's
the
balance
I'm
trying
to
keep
on
my
radar.
J
Well,
I
mean
there
is
a
real
feeling
of
hopelessness
out
there
in
the
nation
and
here
in
in
Florida
as
to
how
are
we
just
going
to
survive
and
I
know
it's
incredibly
frustrating
for
people
who
can't
even
get
minimal
unemployment
benefits
that
that
they
have
coming
to
them.
So
I
understand
Kathleen's,
wish
to
to
urge
the
state
to
do
more.
J
Unfortunately,
even
I'm
discovering
now
even
being
elected
to
the
council
that
there's
not
a
lot
that
we
can
do,
it
seems
to
help
individuals,
cuz
I
I
mean
I
brought
it
up
before
and
I
don't
want
to
rehash
this
at
all.
But
when
we
look
at
64
million
dollars
being
spent
on
an
imaginary
just
think,
well,
how
can
we
use
some
of
that
money
to
help
the
people
here
in
this
city?
J
Is
there
some
way
we
can
work
with
church
groups
and
and
nonprofits
and
and
figure
out
a
way
to
to
match
the
hungry
folks
here
in
the
city
with
the
restaurants
who
want
to
survive
and
I
wish,
we
could
come
up
with
something
like
that
to
help
businesses
and
help
the
people
in
the
community
as
well.
So
there's
you
know,
there's
just
this
feeling
that
we've
got
to
be
able
to
do
something.
J
You
know
the
$5,000
for
the
business
incentive,
yeah,
that's
a
drop
in
the
bucket
and-
and
you
know
the
the
unemployment
benefits
go
on
for
twelve
weeks,
but
this
pandemic
is
going
to
go
on
much
longer.
We're
reopening
businesses
now
well
we're
not
even
meeting
the
guidelines
of
two
weeks
of
deaths
going
down
there
they're
increasing
dramatically
here
in
floor
what
a
Florida
so
it
is.
J
G
I
think
that
this
letter
can
be
meaningful
and
symbolic
and
a
way
to
communicate
to
our
workers
that
we
hear
you.
We
understand
your
frustrations
while
we
might
not
be
able
to
help
individually
unless
we
know
somebody
and
can
pick
up
a
phone
and
make
a
call,
but
we
you
know,
generally,
we
don't,
and
so
I
I
would
you
know
I
I,
don't
know
how
we
want
to
end
this
conversation,
but
can
I
do
another
draft.
A
couple
of
drafts
that
maybe
doesn't
use
the
word
broken
and
is
a
little
softer.
A
A
First
of
all,
you
don't
know
me
that
well,
we've
kind
of
been
on
the
campaign
trail
together,
but
you
will
learn
I,
don't
pull
punches,
I'm
a
pretty
plain
speaking
person
and
when
I
think
it's
necessary
I
do
you
know
I'm
I'm,
pretty
bold
in
my
statements
at
the
same
time,
I
understand
that
we
will
have
to
continue
to
work
with
our
state
on
many
issues
and
so
I'm
always
reluctant
to
be
overzealous
in
criticizing,
because
there's
the
old
statement
be
careful.
The
toes
you
step
on.
A
They
maybe
belong
to
the
rear,
end
that
you
may
have
to
kiss
down
the
road.
I
softening
that
statement,
but
you
know
I
think
we
just
need
to
be
aware
of
that
and
the
only
I'm
fine
if
we
are
not
criticizing
directly
something
that
the
state
has
already
identified,
is
a
problem.
Okay,
I
mean
when
I
know
we
have
a
problem
within
the
city.
We
identify
it.
We
voice
that
it's
a
problem,
we're
going
to
find
a
solution
to
fix
it.
A
A
I,
don't
know,
I,
don't
know
the
fiscal
impact
of
this
recommendation,
I'm
very
reluctant
to
make
a
recommendation
when
I
don't
even
know
what
the
impact
is.
I
mean
I,
think
that's
just
being
reasonable
for
us
to
at
least
know
that,
and
so
I
am
I'm
happy
to
do
something
to
show
workers
that
we
care
about
them.
We
do
care
about
them,
I
care
about
them,
they're,
a
part
of
our
community
I
know
a
lot
of
them
are
hurting,
so
I
don't
want
to
diminish
their
suffering.
A
A
There
are
certain
areas
that
the
city
just
doesn't
get
involved
in
it's
more
of
a
federal
or
a
state
mandate
that
they,
you
know
just
like
the
state,
isn't
going
to
get
into
solid
waste
or
Parks
and
Recreation
or
police
or
fire
coverage.
That's
a
municipal
responsibility
and
when
we're
doing
those
types
of
activity
activities
we're
staying
in
our
proper
Lane
and
then
there
are
some
lanes.
We
a
we,
don't
have
the
resources
for
which
I
think
goes
back
to
you
know
what
we
were
talking
about
with
aid
to
businesses.
A
Is
it
enough
to
really
make
an
impact
and
is
it
our
lane?
I
will
tell
you
we're
we're
deviating
a
little
bit
from
our
lane.
It's
on
the
borderline,
yep
I,
don't
know
how
to
do
the
letter.
Perfect,
councilmember
Beckman.
This
is
one
of
the
most
difficult
conversations
we
ever
have
amongst
the
council,
because
we
can't
sit
in
a
room
generally
and
wordsmith
a
letter
to
everybody's
tastes.
Well,
you
know
being
a
teacher
and
you
know
you
certainly
understand
how
difficult
that
could
be
Pam.
N
N
If
you
cannot
agree
on
a
letter,
then
the
individual
council
person
can
send
a
letter
not
as
representing
the
city
but
as
an
individual
council
person.
But
if
you'd
like
I,
think
we
kind
of
understand
where
the
council
is
going,
we
can
work
with
councilman
Beckman's
letter
to
modify
that.
Do
you
want
it
in
resolution
form
or
do
you
want
to
leave
it
in
a
letter
I.
N
A
B
Mr.
mayor,
this
mirror
yeah,
this
is
bill.
Do
you
think,
there's
any
value
in
being
in
a
position
to
modify
the.
B
G
Sure
I
think
that's
reasonable
to
wait,
and
here
I
mean
what
what
I
could
do.
Maybe
is
work
with
Miss,
akin
and
and
come
up
with
a
proposed
draft
to
and
then
if
we
would
need
to
change
anything
post.
The
presentation
on
Thursday
I,
don't
know
what
the
timeliness
of
that
process
is.
If
we
can
is
it
does
it
have
to
be
done
in
public?
You
know
the
agreement
to
a
letter
and
all
that,
yes,.
D
G
Put
some
glitch
in
things:
yeah
I,
you
know
I
can't
imagine
that
they're
gonna
say
too
much
on
on
Thursday.
That's
gonna
have
some
big.
You
know
miraculous
change
from
today
and
the
way
things
are
going
in
the
reporting
and
the
stats
for
the
weekend
on
April.
You
know
at
the
end
of
April,
so
I
mean
I'll
just
well.
G
A
A
N
A
I
have
talked
to
him
and
I
have
talked
to
representative
to
sig
Lea,
who
all
pretty
much
carried
the
same
message,
which
was
they
are
pouring
him
incredible
amounts
of
money
and
manpower.
I
cannot
remember
the
secretary
that
the
governor
has
put
on
this,
but
he
literally
said
he
hasn't
basically
see
this
family
at
three
weeks.
A
That
might
be
hyperbole,
but
I
have
a
feeling.
That's
how
they're
dealing
with
this
is
they're,
trying
to
rectify
it
as
quickly
as
possible.
But
if
it's
a
bad
software
program,
which
is
what
I
am
told,
it
is
that's,
probably
not
going
to
be
as
easy
to
do
and
I
don't
know
that,
there's
something
they
can
take
off
the
shelf
and
start
fresh.
